His protégé is ace reporter Steve McCleary, while successful feature writer Julie Allison is frustrated by the paper's drift towards raking the muck. One night, during a lonely hearts dance organized by the Express, Chapman's estranged wife confronts him and demands that he visit her hotel room. It is revealed that Chapman's real name is George Grant, and he abandoned his wife decades earlier, changing his identity. When Chapman rebuffs her efforts toward reconciliation, she threatens to publicize his real identity. Chapman tries to restrain her, accidentally killing her in the scuffle.\nChapman attempts to cover up his crime, posing the scene to look like an accident. The police initially believe she slipped in the bathtub, but McCleary begins covering the case, and his reporting reveals it was a murder. McCleary is eager to run the story, and Chapman must acquiesce to avoid suspicion. The \"mystery\" murderer is dubbed the \"Lonely Hearts Killer.\" Charlie Barnes, an alcoholic former star reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner, stumbles upon the dead woman's suitcase, in which he finds wedding photographs showing Chapman (then Grant) and his wife. He realizes that Chapman must be the killer. Barnes contacts Allison, who has been kind to him, attempting to give her the scoop, but Chapman overhears the conversation. He intercepts and kills Barnes before he can reveal the truth to a rival publication. This act only increases public interest in the story of the Lonely Hearts Killer, much to Chapman's frustration.\nAssisted by Allison, McCleary continues to track down clues and leads. Eventually he locates another photo from Chapman/Grant's wedding, although the groom is shot in profile and it is not obvious that it is Chapman. McCleary and Allison travel to Connecticut to find the judge who married the murdered woman and the man in the photograph. After a week of searching, they identify the judge who conducted the marriage.

His protégé is ace reporter Steve McCleary, while successful feature writer Julie Allison is frustrated by the paper's drift towards raking the muck. One night, during a lonely hearts dance organized by the Express, Chapman's estranged wife confronts him and demands that he visit her hotel room. It is revealed that Chapman's real name is George Grant, and he abandoned his wife decades earlier, changing his identity. When Chapman rebuffs her efforts toward reconciliation, she threatens to publicize his real identity. Chapman tries to restrain her, accidentally killing her in the scuffle.\nChapman attempts to cover up his crime, posing the scene to look like an accident. The police initially believe she slipped in the bathtub, but McCleary begins covering the case, and his reporting reveals it was a murder. McCleary is eager to run the story, and Chapman must acquiesce to avoid suspicion. The \"mystery\" murderer is dubbed the \"Lonely Hearts Killer.\" Charlie Barnes, an alcoholic former star reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner, stumbles upon the dead woman's suitcase, in which he finds wedding photographs showing Chapman (then Grant) and his wife. He realizes that Chapman must be the killer. Barnes contacts Allison, who has been kind to him, attempting to give her the scoop, but Chapman overhears the conversation. He intercepts and kills Barnes before he can reveal the truth to a rival publication. This act only increases public interest in the story of the Lonely Hearts Killer, much to Chapman's frustration.\nAssisted by Allison, McCleary continues to track down clues and leads. Eventually he locates another photo from Chapman/Grant's wedding, although the groom is shot in profile and it is not obvious that it is Chapman. McCleary and Allison travel to Connecticut to find the judge who married the murdered woman and the man in the photograph. After a week of searching, they identify the judge who conducted the marriage. They bring him back to the newspaper building, where he identifies Chapman as the groom and thus the Lonely Hearts Killer. McCleary is incredulous, but Allison puts the pieces together and the desperate Chapman pulls a gun on them. The police arrive, and Chapman cannot bring himself to shoot McCleary. Instead, he gives McCleary his blessing to publish all details of his crimes and then commits suicide by cop."}}},{"rowIdx":746,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":47,"string":"47"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/47.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":9,"string":"9"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"When Charlie realized who the murderer was, he called Allison."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"When Charlie realized who the murderer was, he called the newspaper to report it."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Single"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Event/Entity"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,468\nI know how you feel, lady.\n\n2\n00:01:52,545 --> 00:01:54,445\nJust take your time\nand tell me what happened.\n\n3\n00:01:54,514 --> 00:01:57,915\nHe had this meat ax, her blood all over it.\n\n4\n00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:03,187\nMy brother-in-law had it.\nBlood all over his hands, all over his shirt.\n\n5\n00:02:03,389 --> 00:02:05,687\nI can't talk about it, Officer.\n\n6\n00:02:05,859 --> 00:02:08,851\nI know it's rough, lady,\nbut I have to have the facts.\n\n7\n00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:14,298\nHe comes staggering out in the hall.\nHe says, \"I did it.

His protégé is ace reporter Steve McCleary, while successful feature writer Julie Allison is frustrated by the paper's drift towards raking the muck. One night, during a lonely hearts dance organized by the Express, Chapman's estranged wife confronts him and demands that he visit her hotel room. It is revealed that Chapman's real name is George Grant, and he abandoned his wife decades earlier, changing his identity. When Chapman rebuffs her efforts toward reconciliation, she threatens to publicize his real identity. Chapman tries to restrain her, accidentally killing her in the scuffle.\nChapman attempts to cover up his crime, posing the scene to look like an accident. The police initially believe she slipped in the bathtub, but McCleary begins covering the case, and his reporting reveals it was a murder. McCleary is eager to run the story, and Chapman must acquiesce to avoid suspicion. The \"mystery\" murderer is dubbed the \"Lonely Hearts Killer.\" Charlie Barnes, an alcoholic former star reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner, stumbles upon the dead woman's suitcase, in which he finds wedding photographs showing Chapman (then Grant) and his wife. He realizes that Chapman must be the killer. Barnes contacts Allison, who has been kind to him, attempting to give her the scoop, but Chapman overhears the conversation. He intercepts and kills Barnes before he can reveal the truth to a rival publication. This act only increases public interest in the story of the Lonely Hearts Killer, much to Chapman's frustration.\nAssisted by Allison, McCleary continues to track down clues and leads. Eventually he locates another photo from Chapman/Grant's wedding, although the groom is shot in profile and it is not obvious that it is Chapman. McCleary and Allison travel to Connecticut to find the judge who married the murdered woman and the man in the photograph. After a week of searching, they identify the judge who conducted the marriage. They bring him back to the newspaper building, where he identifies Chapman as the groom and thus the Lonely Hearts Killer.

Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.\nOne day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.\nEllen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.\nEllen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.\nSome nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.\nAlbert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a \"sprained wrist.\" Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.\nAlbert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men.

Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.\nOne day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.\nEllen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.\nEllen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.\nSome nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.\nAlbert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a \"sprained wrist.\" Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.\nAlbert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men.

Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.\nOne day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.\nEllen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.\nEllen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.\nSome nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.\nAlbert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a \"sprained wrist.\" Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.\nAlbert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men.

Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.\nOne day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.\nEllen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.\nEllen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.\nSome nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.\nAlbert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a \"sprained wrist.\" Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.\nAlbert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men.

Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.\nOne day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.\nEllen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.\nEllen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.\nSome nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.\nAlbert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a \"sprained wrist.\" Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.\nAlbert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men.

Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.\nOne day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.\nEllen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.\nEllen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.\nSome nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.\nAlbert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a \"sprained wrist.\" Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.\nAlbert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men.

Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.\nOne day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.\nEllen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.\nEllen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.\nSome nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.\nAlbert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a \"sprained wrist.\" Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.\nAlbert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men.

Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.\nOne day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.\nEllen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.\nEllen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.\nSome nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.\nAlbert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a \"sprained wrist.\" Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.\nAlbert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men.

Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.\nOne day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.\nEllen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.\nEllen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.\nSome nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.\nAlbert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a \"sprained wrist.\" Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.\nAlbert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men.

Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.\nOne day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.\nEllen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.\nEllen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.\nSome nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.\nAlbert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a \"sprained wrist.\" Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.\nAlbert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men.

Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.\nOne day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.\nEllen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.\nEllen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.\nSome nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.\nAlbert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a \"sprained wrist.\" Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.\nAlbert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men.

Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.\nOne day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.\nEllen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.\nEllen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.\nSome nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.\nAlbert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a \"sprained wrist.\" Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.\nAlbert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men.

Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.\nOne day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.\nEllen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.\nEllen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.\nSome nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.\nAlbert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a \"sprained wrist.\" Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.\nAlbert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men.

Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.\nOne day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.\nEllen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.\nEllen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.\nSome nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.\nAlbert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a \"sprained wrist.\" Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.\nAlbert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men.

Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.\nAl recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.\n\nIn Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.\nAl realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.\nAl crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.\nIn Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.\nBack at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.\nAl gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of \"his wife.\" Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest."}}},{"rowIdx":762,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":49,"string":"49"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/49.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":1,"string":"1"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Sue goes to Hollywood to be a famous singer."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Sue goes to Hollywood to be a hashslinger."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Single"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Causal"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:02:41,245 --> 00:02:44,163\nWell, here we are.\nI turn down here at the next block.\n\n2\n00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,874\nThanks, mister.

Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.\nAl recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.\n\nIn Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.\nAl realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.\nAl crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.\nIn Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.\nBack at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.\nAl gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of \"his wife.\" Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest."}}},{"rowIdx":763,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":49,"string":"49"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/49.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":10,"string":"10"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Haskell dies for unknown reasons."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Haskell dies because he is murdered."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Multi"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Causal"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:02:41,245 --> 00:02:44,163\nWell, here we are.\nI turn down here at the next block.\n\n2\n00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,874\nThanks, mister.

Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.\nAl recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.\n\nIn Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.\nAl realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.\nAl crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.\nIn Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.\nBack at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.\nAl gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of \"his wife.\" Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest."}}},{"rowIdx":764,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":49,"string":"49"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/49.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":11,"string":"11"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Vera wants to sell Haskell's car immediately."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Vera wants to sell Haskell's car once they get the best price."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Multi"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Event/Entity"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:02:41,245 --> 00:02:44,163\nWell, here we are.\nI turn down here at the next block.\n\n2\n00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,874\nThanks, mister.

Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.\nAl recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.\n\nIn Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.\nAl realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.\nAl crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.\nIn Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.\nBack at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.\nAl gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of \"his wife.\" Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest."}}},{"rowIdx":765,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":49,"string":"49"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/49.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":12,"string":"12"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Al and Vera go shopping for clothes for Vera."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Al and Vera go shopping for clothes for Al."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Multi"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Event/Entity"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:02:41,245 --> 00:02:44,163\nWell, here we are.\nI turn down here at the next block.\n\n2\n00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,874\nThanks, mister.

Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.\nAl recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.\n\nIn Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.\nAl realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.\nAl crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.\nIn Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.\nBack at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.\nAl gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of \"his wife.\" Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest."}}},{"rowIdx":766,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":49,"string":"49"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/49.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":13,"string":"13"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The punishment for murder is execution."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The punishment for murder is life in prison."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Multi"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Other"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:02:41,245 --> 00:02:44,163\nWell, here we are.\nI turn down here at the next block.\n\n2\n00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,874\nThanks, mister.

Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.\nAl recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.\n\nIn Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.\nAl realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.\nAl crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.\nIn Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.\nBack at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.\nAl gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of \"his wife.\" Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest."}}},{"rowIdx":767,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":49,"string":"49"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/49.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":14,"string":"14"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Al is worried about extradition between states."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Vera is worried about extradition between states."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Multi"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Other"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:02:41,245 --> 00:02:44,163\nWell, here we are.\nI turn down here at the next block.\n\n2\n00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,874\nThanks, mister.

Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.\nAl recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.\n\nIn Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.\nAl realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.\nAl crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.\nIn Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.\nBack at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.\nAl gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of \"his wife.\" Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest."}}},{"rowIdx":768,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":49,"string":"49"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/49.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":15,"string":"15"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Al kills Vera accidentally."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Al kills Vera intentionally."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Single"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Emotion, Causal"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:02:41,245 --> 00:02:44,163\nWell, here we are.\nI turn down here at the next block.\n\n2\n00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,874\nThanks, mister.

Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.\nAl recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.\n\nIn Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.\nAl realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.\nAl crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.\nIn Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.\nBack at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.\nAl gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of \"his wife.\" Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest."}}},{"rowIdx":769,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":49,"string":"49"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/49.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":16,"string":"16"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Haskell lies to his father about his job."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Haskell tells his father the truth about his job."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Single"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Event/Entity"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:02:41,245 --> 00:02:44,163\nWell, here we are.\nI turn down here at the next block.\n\n2\n00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,874\nThanks, mister.

Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.\nAl recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.\n\nIn Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.\nAl realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.\nAl crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.\nIn Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.\nBack at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.\nAl gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of \"his wife.\" Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest."}}},{"rowIdx":770,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":49,"string":"49"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/49.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":17,"string":"17"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"After the end of the movie, Al and Sue are unlikely to get married."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"After the end of the movie, Al and Sue are likely to get married."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Multi"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Event/Entity"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:02:41,245 --> 00:02:44,163\nWell, here we are.\nI turn down here at the next block.\n\n2\n00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,874\nThanks, mister.

Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.\nAl recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.\n\nIn Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.\nAl realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.\nAl crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.\nIn Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.\nBack at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.\nAl gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of \"his wife.\" Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest."}}},{"rowIdx":771,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":49,"string":"49"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/49.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":18,"string":"18"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Vera wants to sleep with Al."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Al wants to sleep with Vera."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Single"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Emotion"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:02:41,245 --> 00:02:44,163\nWell, here we are.\nI turn down here at the next block.\n\n2\n00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,874\nThanks, mister.

Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.\nAl recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.\n\nIn Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.\nAl realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.\nAl crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.\nIn Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.\nBack at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.\nAl gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of \"his wife.\" Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest."}}},{"rowIdx":772,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":49,"string":"49"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/49.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":2,"string":"2"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Al plays a medley at the piano and gets a big tip."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Al plays a song at the piano and gets a big tip."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Single"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Event/Entity"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:02:41,245 --> 00:02:44,163\nWell, here we are.\nI turn down here at the next block.\n\n2\n00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,874\nThanks, mister.

Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.\nAl recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.\n\nIn Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.\nAl realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.\nAl crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.\nIn Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.\nBack at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.\nAl gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of \"his wife.\" Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest."}}},{"rowIdx":773,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":49,"string":"49"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/49.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":3,"string":"3"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Because Al has money he hitchhikes to LA."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Because Al has money he takes the bus to LA."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Multi"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Causal"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:02:41,245 --> 00:02:44,163\nWell, here we are.\nI turn down here at the next block.\n\n2\n00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,874\nThanks, mister.

Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.\nAl recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.\n\nIn Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.\nAl realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.\nAl crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.\nIn Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.\nBack at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.\nAl gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of \"his wife.\" Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest."}}},{"rowIdx":774,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":49,"string":"49"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/49.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":4,"string":"4"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Al travels to Hollywood to see Sue."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Al travels to Hollywood to be a famous piano player."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Multi"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Causal"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:02:41,245 --> 00:02:44,163\nWell, here we are.\nI turn down here at the next block.\n\n2\n00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,874\nThanks, mister.

Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.\nAl recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.\n\nIn Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.\nAl realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.\nAl crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.\nIn Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.\nBack at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.\nAl gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of \"his wife.\" Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest."}}},{"rowIdx":775,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":49,"string":"49"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/49.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":5,"string":"5"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Al gets angry at the diner because the song makes him miss Sue."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Al gets angry at the diner because the song is out of tune."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Multi"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Emotion"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:02:41,245 --> 00:02:44,163\nWell, here we are.\nI turn down here at the next block.\n\n2\n00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,874\nThanks, mister.

Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.\nAl recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.\n\nIn Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.\nAl realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.\nAl crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.\nIn Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.\nBack at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.\nAl gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of \"his wife.\" Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest."}}},{"rowIdx":776,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":49,"string":"49"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/49.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":6,"string":"6"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Al's suitcase does not reach LA."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Al's suitcase reaches LA."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Multi"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Event/Entity"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:02:41,245 --> 00:02:44,163\nWell, here we are.\nI turn down here at the next block.\n\n2\n00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,874\nThanks, mister.

Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.\nAl recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.\n\nIn Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.\nAl realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.\nAl crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.\nIn Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.\nBack at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.\nAl gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of \"his wife.\" Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest."}}},{"rowIdx":777,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":49,"string":"49"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/49.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":7,"string":"7"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Al phones Sue exactly two times."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Al phones Sue exactly four times."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Multi"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Temporal"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:02:41,245 --> 00:02:44,163\nWell, here we are.\nI turn down here at the next block.\n\n2\n00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,874\nThanks, mister.

Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.\nAl recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.\n\nIn Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.\nAl realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.\nAl crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.\nIn Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.\nBack at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.\nAl gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of \"his wife.\" Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest."}}},{"rowIdx":778,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":49,"string":"49"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/49.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":8,"string":"8"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Vera meets Haskell before Al."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Vera meets Al before Haskell."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Multi"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Temporal"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:02:41,245 --> 00:02:44,163\nWell, here we are.\nI turn down here at the next block.\n\n2\n00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,874\nThanks, mister.

Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.\nAl recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.\n\nIn Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.\nAl realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.\nAl crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.\nIn Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.\nBack at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.\nAl gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of \"his wife.\" Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest."}}},{"rowIdx":779,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":49,"string":"49"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/49.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":9,"string":"9"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Haskell's relationship with his father is poor."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Haskell's relationship with his father is good."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Single"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Emotion"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:02:41,245 --> 00:02:44,163\nWell, here we are.\nI turn down here at the next block.\n\n2\n00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,874\nThanks, mister.

Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.\nAl recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.\n\nIn Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.\nAl realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.\nAl crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.\nIn Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.\nBack at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.\nAl gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of \"his wife.\" Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest."}}},{"rowIdx":780,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":50,"string":"50"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/50.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":0,"string":"0"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The protagonist does not recognize two men at the train station when he has just arrived in Los Angeles."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The protagonist recognizes two men at the train station when he has just arrived in Los Angeles."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Single"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Event/Entity"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556\nThis is the Letterman General Hosiptal\nat San Francisco, California.\n\n2\n00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219\nFor those outside these gates the\nwar is over, a thing of the past.\n\n3\n00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888\nFor those behind these gates there's a\ngrim, hard, bitter fight still going on.\n\n4\n00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518\nTake one case, the case\nof Eddie Rice, age 33.\n\n5\n00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206\nEnlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.\nHolder of the Silver Star, but today...\n\n6\n00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026\nA name and date number, a medical file.\nFor five years a chart on a hospital bed.\n\n7\n00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340\nA victim of amnesia.\nA mind with a blocked out past.\n\n8\n00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127\nWhere were you born, Eddie?\nWho are your parents?\n\n9\n00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912\nAny brothers?

This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.\nRice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely."}}},{"rowIdx":781,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":50,"string":"50"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/50.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":1,"string":"1"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"When the protagonist was interrogated at the police station, he was shown his personal profile."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"When the protagonist was interrogated at the police station, he was shown another person’s profile."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Multi"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Event/Entity"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556\nThis is the Letterman General Hosiptal\nat San Francisco, California.\n\n2\n00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219\nFor those outside these gates the\nwar is over, a thing of the past.\n\n3\n00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888\nFor those behind these gates there's a\ngrim, hard, bitter fight still going on.\n\n4\n00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518\nTake one case, the case\nof Eddie Rice, age 33.\n\n5\n00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206\nEnlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.\nHolder of the Silver Star, but today...\n\n6\n00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026\nA name and date number, a medical file.\nFor five years a chart on a hospital bed.\n\n7\n00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340\nA victim of amnesia.\nA mind with a blocked out past.\n\n8\n00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127\nWhere were you born, Eddie?\nWho are your parents?\n\n9\n00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912\nAny brothers?

This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.\nRice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely."}}},{"rowIdx":782,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":50,"string":"50"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/50.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":10,"string":"10"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The protagonist was married."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The protagonist was never married."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Single"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Temporal"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556\nThis is the Letterman General Hosiptal\nat San Francisco, California.\n\n2\n00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219\nFor those outside these gates the\nwar is over, a thing of the past.\n\n3\n00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888\nFor those behind these gates there's a\ngrim, hard, bitter fight still going on.\n\n4\n00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518\nTake one case, the case\nof Eddie Rice, age 33.\n\n5\n00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206\nEnlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.\nHolder of the Silver Star, but today...\n\n6\n00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026\nA name and date number, a medical file.\nFor five years a chart on a hospital bed.\n\n7\n00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340\nA victim of amnesia.\nA mind with a blocked out past.\n\n8\n00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127\nWhere were you born, Eddie?\nWho are your parents?\n\n9\n00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912\nAny brothers?

This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.\nRice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely."}}},{"rowIdx":783,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":50,"string":"50"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/50.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":11,"string":"11"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The woman didn’t know that the protagonist had lost his memories until he told her."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The woman knew that the protagonist had lost his memories before he told her."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Multi"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Temporal"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556\nThis is the Letterman General Hosiptal\nat San Francisco, California.\n\n2\n00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219\nFor those outside these gates the\nwar is over, a thing of the past.\n\n3\n00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888\nFor those behind these gates there's a\ngrim, hard, bitter fight still going on.\n\n4\n00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518\nTake one case, the case\nof Eddie Rice, age 33.\n\n5\n00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206\nEnlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.\nHolder of the Silver Star, but today...\n\n6\n00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026\nA name and date number, a medical file.\nFor five years a chart on a hospital bed.\n\n7\n00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340\nA victim of amnesia.\nA mind with a blocked out past.\n\n8\n00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127\nWhere were you born, Eddie?\nWho are your parents?\n\n9\n00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912\nAny brothers?

This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.\nRice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely."}}},{"rowIdx":784,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":50,"string":"50"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/50.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":12,"string":"12"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The woman left the restaurant unhappy that the protagonist refused to leave the city."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The woman left the restaurant happy that the protagonist refused to leave the city."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Single"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Emotion"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556\nThis is the Letterman General Hosiptal\nat San Francisco, California.\n\n2\n00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219\nFor those outside these gates the\nwar is over, a thing of the past.\n\n3\n00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888\nFor those behind these gates there's a\ngrim, hard, bitter fight still going on.\n\n4\n00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518\nTake one case, the case\nof Eddie Rice, age 33.\n\n5\n00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206\nEnlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.\nHolder of the Silver Star, but today...\n\n6\n00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026\nA name and date number, a medical file.\nFor five years a chart on a hospital bed.\n\n7\n00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340\nA victim of amnesia.\nA mind with a blocked out past.\n\n8\n00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127\nWhere were you born, Eddie?\nWho are your parents?\n\n9\n00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912\nAny brothers?

This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.\nRice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely."}}},{"rowIdx":785,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":50,"string":"50"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/50.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":13,"string":"13"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Two henchmen broke into the room while the protagonist and the woman were talking because the mafia boss asked them to bring the protagonist to him."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"Two henchmen broke into the room while the protagonist and the woman were talking because the mafia boss asked them to bring the woman to him."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Multi"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Causal"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556\nThis is the Letterman General Hosiptal\nat San Francisco, California.\n\n2\n00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219\nFor those outside these gates the\nwar is over, a thing of the past.\n\n3\n00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888\nFor those behind these gates there's a\ngrim, hard, bitter fight still going on.\n\n4\n00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518\nTake one case, the case\nof Eddie Rice, age 33.\n\n5\n00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206\nEnlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.\nHolder of the Silver Star, but today...\n\n6\n00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026\nA name and date number, a medical file.\nFor five years a chart on a hospital bed.\n\n7\n00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340\nA victim of amnesia.\nA mind with a blocked out past.\n\n8\n00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127\nWhere were you born, Eddie?\nWho are your parents?\n\n9\n00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912\nAny brothers?

This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.\nRice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely."}}},{"rowIdx":786,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":50,"string":"50"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/50.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":14,"string":"14"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"When the police lieutenant entered the room where the woman was located, she didn’t know where the protagonist had been taken."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"When the police lieutenant entered the room where the woman was located, she knew where the protagonist had been taken."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Single"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Event/Entity"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556\nThis is the Letterman General Hosiptal\nat San Francisco, California.\n\n2\n00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219\nFor those outside these gates the\nwar is over, a thing of the past.\n\n3\n00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888\nFor those behind these gates there's a\ngrim, hard, bitter fight still going on.\n\n4\n00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518\nTake one case, the case\nof Eddie Rice, age 33.\n\n5\n00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206\nEnlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.\nHolder of the Silver Star, but today...\n\n6\n00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026\nA name and date number, a medical file.\nFor five years a chart on a hospital bed.\n\n7\n00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340\nA victim of amnesia.\nA mind with a blocked out past.\n\n8\n00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127\nWhere were you born, Eddie?\nWho are your parents?\n\n9\n00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912\nAny brothers?

This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.\nRice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely."}}},{"rowIdx":787,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":50,"string":"50"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/50.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":15,"string":"15"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"After two henchmen took the protagonist with them, the police lieutenant came to the mafia boss’s house to find the protagonist but the boss refused to speak about it."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"After two henchmen took the protagonist with them, the police lieutenant came to the mafia boss’s house to find the protagonist and the mafia boss showed him the location."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Single"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Event/Entity"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556\nThis is the Letterman General Hosiptal\nat San Francisco, California.\n\n2\n00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219\nFor those outside these gates the\nwar is over, a thing of the past.\n\n3\n00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888\nFor those behind these gates there's a\ngrim, hard, bitter fight still going on.\n\n4\n00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518\nTake one case, the case\nof Eddie Rice, age 33.\n\n5\n00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206\nEnlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.\nHolder of the Silver Star, but today...\n\n6\n00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026\nA name and date number, a medical file.\nFor five years a chart on a hospital bed.\n\n7\n00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340\nA victim of amnesia.\nA mind with a blocked out past.\n\n8\n00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127\nWhere were you born, Eddie?\nWho are your parents?\n\n9\n00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912\nAny brothers?

This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.\nRice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely."}}},{"rowIdx":788,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":50,"string":"50"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/50.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":16,"string":"16"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"After two henchmen took the protagonist with them, the police lieutenant came to the mafia boss’s house and was shot by the mafia boss."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"After two henchmen took the protagonist with them, the police lieutenant came to the mafia boss’s house and shot the mafia boss."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Single"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Event/Entity"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556\nThis is the Letterman General Hosiptal\nat San Francisco, California.\n\n2\n00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219\nFor those outside these gates the\nwar is over, a thing of the past.\n\n3\n00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888\nFor those behind these gates there's a\ngrim, hard, bitter fight still going on.\n\n4\n00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518\nTake one case, the case\nof Eddie Rice, age 33.\n\n5\n00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206\nEnlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.\nHolder of the Silver Star, but today...\n\n6\n00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026\nA name and date number, a medical file.\nFor five years a chart on a hospital bed.\n\n7\n00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340\nA victim of amnesia.\nA mind with a blocked out past.\n\n8\n00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127\nWhere were you born, Eddie?\nWho are your parents?\n\n9\n00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912\nAny brothers?

This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.\nRice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely."}}},{"rowIdx":789,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":50,"string":"50"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/50.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":17,"string":"17"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The forensic investigator from the Scientific Investigation Division gave the police lieutenant the letter with his expert conclusion, which the lieutenant showed to the mafia boss."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The forensic investigator from the Scientific Investigation Division gave the police lieutenant the letter with his expert conclusion, which the lieutenant showed to his boss."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Multi"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Event/Entity"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556\nThis is the Letterman General Hosiptal\nat San Francisco, California.\n\n2\n00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219\nFor those outside these gates the\nwar is over, a thing of the past.\n\n3\n00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888\nFor those behind these gates there's a\ngrim, hard, bitter fight still going on.\n\n4\n00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518\nTake one case, the case\nof Eddie Rice, age 33.\n\n5\n00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206\nEnlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.\nHolder of the Silver Star, but today...\n\n6\n00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026\nA name and date number, a medical file.\nFor five years a chart on a hospital bed.\n\n7\n00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340\nA victim of amnesia.\nA mind with a blocked out past.\n\n8\n00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127\nWhere were you born, Eddie?\nWho are your parents?\n\n9\n00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912\nAny brothers?

This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.\nRice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely."}}},{"rowIdx":790,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":50,"string":"50"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/50.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":18,"string":"18"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The protagonist didn’t kill the police lieutenant."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The protagonist killed the police lieutenant."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Single"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Event/Entity"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556\nThis is the Letterman General Hosiptal\nat San Francisco, California.\n\n2\n00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219\nFor those outside these gates the\nwar is over, a thing of the past.\n\n3\n00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888\nFor those behind these gates there's a\ngrim, hard, bitter fight still going on.\n\n4\n00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518\nTake one case, the case\nof Eddie Rice, age 33.\n\n5\n00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206\nEnlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.\nHolder of the Silver Star, but today...\n\n6\n00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026\nA name and date number, a medical file.\nFor five years a chart on a hospital bed.\n\n7\n00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340\nA victim of amnesia.\nA mind with a blocked out past.\n\n8\n00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127\nWhere were you born, Eddie?\nWho are your parents?\n\n9\n00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912\nAny brothers?

This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.\nRice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely."}}},{"rowIdx":791,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":50,"string":"50"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/50.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":19,"string":"19"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The protagonist wasn’t in the car when the police found the dead body of the police lieutenant."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The protagonist was in the car when the police found the dead body of the police lieutenant."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Single"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Event/Entity"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556\nThis is the Letterman General Hosiptal\nat San Francisco, California.\n\n2\n00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219\nFor those outside these gates the\nwar is over, a thing of the past.\n\n3\n00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888\nFor those behind these gates there's a\ngrim, hard, bitter fight still going on.\n\n4\n00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518\nTake one case, the case\nof Eddie Rice, age 33.\n\n5\n00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206\nEnlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.\nHolder of the Silver Star, but today...\n\n6\n00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026\nA name and date number, a medical file.\nFor five years a chart on a hospital bed.\n\n7\n00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340\nA victim of amnesia.\nA mind with a blocked out past.\n\n8\n00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127\nWhere were you born, Eddie?\nWho are your parents?\n\n9\n00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912\nAny brothers?

This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.\nRice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely."}}},{"rowIdx":792,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":50,"string":"50"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/50.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":2,"string":"2"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The woman called the gangsters to report the location of the protagonist."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The woman called the police to report the location of the protagonist."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Single"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Event/Entity"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556\nThis is the Letterman General Hosiptal\nat San Francisco, California.\n\n2\n00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219\nFor those outside these gates the\nwar is over, a thing of the past.\n\n3\n00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888\nFor those behind these gates there's a\ngrim, hard, bitter fight still going on.\n\n4\n00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518\nTake one case, the case\nof Eddie Rice, age 33.\n\n5\n00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206\nEnlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.\nHolder of the Silver Star, but today...\n\n6\n00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026\nA name and date number, a medical file.\nFor five years a chart on a hospital bed.\n\n7\n00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340\nA victim of amnesia.\nA mind with a blocked out past.\n\n8\n00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127\nWhere were you born, Eddie?\nWho are your parents?\n\n9\n00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912\nAny brothers?

This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.\nRice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely."}}},{"rowIdx":793,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":50,"string":"50"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/50.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":20,"string":"20"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The gun contained only the protagonist’s fingerprints."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The gun contained the protagonist’s fingerprints and another person’s."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Single"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Event/Entity"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556\nThis is the Letterman General Hosiptal\nat San Francisco, California.\n\n2\n00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219\nFor those outside these gates the\nwar is over, a thing of the past.\n\n3\n00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888\nFor those behind these gates there's a\ngrim, hard, bitter fight still going on.\n\n4\n00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518\nTake one case, the case\nof Eddie Rice, age 33.\n\n5\n00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206\nEnlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.\nHolder of the Silver Star, but today...\n\n6\n00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026\nA name and date number, a medical file.\nFor five years a chart on a hospital bed.\n\n7\n00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340\nA victim of amnesia.\nA mind with a blocked out past.\n\n8\n00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127\nWhere were you born, Eddie?\nWho are your parents?\n\n9\n00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912\nAny brothers?

This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.\nRice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely."}}},{"rowIdx":794,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":50,"string":"50"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/50.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":21,"string":"21"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"While the woman and the protagonist were driving in the car, they stopped and the protagonist broke into the store to steal a gun."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"While the woman and the protagonist were driving in the car, they stopped and the protagonist broke into the store to steal a knife."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Single"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Event/Entity"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556\nThis is the Letterman General Hosiptal\nat San Francisco, California.\n\n2\n00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219\nFor those outside these gates the\nwar is over, a thing of the past.\n\n3\n00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888\nFor those behind these gates there's a\ngrim, hard, bitter fight still going on.\n\n4\n00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518\nTake one case, the case\nof Eddie Rice, age 33.\n\n5\n00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206\nEnlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.\nHolder of the Silver Star, but today...\n\n6\n00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026\nA name and date number, a medical file.\nFor five years a chart on a hospital bed.\n\n7\n00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340\nA victim of amnesia.\nA mind with a blocked out past.\n\n8\n00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127\nWhere were you born, Eddie?\nWho are your parents?\n\n9\n00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912\nAny brothers?

This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.\nRice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely."}}},{"rowIdx":795,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":50,"string":"50"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/50.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":22,"string":"22"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"When the protagonist and his former wife were hiding in the woman’s house, the protagonist put his former wife on the couch because she had been shot."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"When the protagonist and his former wife were hiding in the woman’s house, the protagonist put his former wife on the couch because she needed to rest."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Single"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Causal"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556\nThis is the Letterman General Hosiptal\nat San Francisco, California.\n\n2\n00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219\nFor those outside these gates the\nwar is over, a thing of the past.\n\n3\n00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888\nFor those behind these gates there's a\ngrim, hard, bitter fight still going on.\n\n4\n00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518\nTake one case, the case\nof Eddie Rice, age 33.\n\n5\n00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206\nEnlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.\nHolder of the Silver Star, but today...\n\n6\n00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026\nA name and date number, a medical file.\nFor five years a chart on a hospital bed.\n\n7\n00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340\nA victim of amnesia.\nA mind with a blocked out past.\n\n8\n00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127\nWhere were you born, Eddie?\nWho are your parents?\n\n9\n00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912\nAny brothers?

This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.\nRice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely."}}},{"rowIdx":796,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":50,"string":"50"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/50.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":23,"string":"23"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The protagonist tells Petey his real name because that is how the henchman knows him."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The protagonist tells Petey his fake name because that is how the henchman knows him."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Multi"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Causal"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556\nThis is the Letterman General Hosiptal\nat San Francisco, California.\n\n2\n00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219\nFor those outside these gates the\nwar is over, a thing of the past.\n\n3\n00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888\nFor those behind these gates there's a\ngrim, hard, bitter fight still going on.\n\n4\n00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518\nTake one case, the case\nof Eddie Rice, age 33.\n\n5\n00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206\nEnlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.\nHolder of the Silver Star, but today...\n\n6\n00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026\nA name and date number, a medical file.\nFor five years a chart on a hospital bed.\n\n7\n00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340\nA victim of amnesia.\nA mind with a blocked out past.\n\n8\n00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127\nWhere were you born, Eddie?\nWho are your parents?\n\n9\n00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912\nAny brothers?

This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.\nRice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely."}}},{"rowIdx":797,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":50,"string":"50"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/50.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":24,"string":"24"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The protagonist didn’t pay for the taxi because the taxi driver could potentially get money for reporting the protagonist’s location."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The protagonist didn’t pay for the taxi because he didn’t have money."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Multi"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Causal"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556\nThis is the Letterman General Hosiptal\nat San Francisco, California.\n\n2\n00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219\nFor those outside these gates the\nwar is over, a thing of the past.\n\n3\n00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888\nFor those behind these gates there's a\ngrim, hard, bitter fight still going on.\n\n4\n00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518\nTake one case, the case\nof Eddie Rice, age 33.\n\n5\n00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206\nEnlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.\nHolder of the Silver Star, but today...\n\n6\n00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026\nA name and date number, a medical file.\nFor five years a chart on a hospital bed.\n\n7\n00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340\nA victim of amnesia.\nA mind with a blocked out past.\n\n8\n00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127\nWhere were you born, Eddie?\nWho are your parents?\n\n9\n00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912\nAny brothers?

This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.\nRice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely."}}},{"rowIdx":798,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":50,"string":"50"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/50.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":25,"string":"25"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The protagonist shot two gangsters."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The protagonist shot three gangsters."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Single"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Event/Entity"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556\nThis is the Letterman General Hosiptal\nat San Francisco, California.\n\n2\n00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219\nFor those outside these gates the\nwar is over, a thing of the past.\n\n3\n00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888\nFor those behind these gates there's a\ngrim, hard, bitter fight still going on.\n\n4\n00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518\nTake one case, the case\nof Eddie Rice, age 33.\n\n5\n00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206\nEnlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.\nHolder of the Silver Star, but today...\n\n6\n00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026\nA name and date number, a medical file.\nFor five years a chart on a hospital bed.\n\n7\n00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340\nA victim of amnesia.\nA mind with a blocked out past.\n\n8\n00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127\nWhere were you born, Eddie?\nWho are your parents?\n\n9\n00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912\nAny brothers?

This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.\nRice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely."}}},{"rowIdx":799,"cells":{"movie_id":{"kind":"number","value":50,"string":"50"},"video":{"kind":"video","value":{"src":"https://huggingface.co/datasets/sardinelab/MF2/resolve/b59ea377987e3587bffcdf32ee7576e3bd36764e/test/50.mp4"}},"claim_id":{"kind":"number","value":3,"string":"3"},"true_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The woman didn’t intend to return to the hotel room where the protagonist stayed."},"false_claim":{"kind":"string","value":"The woman intended to return to the hotel room where the protagonist stayed."},"granularity":{"kind":"string","value":"Multi"},"category":{"kind":"string","value":"Event/Entity"},"subtitles":{"kind":"string","value":"1\n00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556\nThis is the Letterman General Hosiptal\nat San Francisco, California.\n\n2\n00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219\nFor those outside these gates the\nwar is over, a thing of the past.\n\n3\n00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888\nFor those behind these gates there's a\ngrim, hard, bitter fight still going on.\n\n4\n00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518\nTake one case, the case\nof Eddie Rice, age 33.\n\n5\n00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206\nEnlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.\nHolder of the Silver Star, but today...\n\n6\n00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026\nA name and date number, a medical file.\nFor five years a chart on a hospital bed.\n\n7\n00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340\nA victim of amnesia.\nA mind with a blocked out past.\n\n8\n00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127\nWhere were you born, Eddie?\nWho are your parents?\n\n9\n00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912\nAny brothers?

This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.\nRice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely."}}}],"truncated":false,"partial":false},"paginationData":{"pageIndex":7,"numItemsPerPage":100,"numTotalItems":868,"offset":700,"length":100}},"jwt":"eyJhbGciOiJFZERTQSJ9.eyJyZWFkIjp0cnVlLCJwZXJtaXNzaW9ucyI6eyJyZXBvLmNvbnRlbnQucmVhZCI6dHJ1ZX0sImlhdCI6MTc2ODExNDE0OSwic3ViIjoiL2RhdGFzZXRzL3NhcmRpbmVsYWIvTUYyIiwiZXhwIjoxNzY4MTE3NzQ5LCJpc3MiOiJodHRwczovL2h1Z2dpbmdmYWNlLmNvIn0.0RBCTPmBRDv7h18298RbcRhYHpqt7RrAGCCmJPpUuRVKyY2c3F6ITgWpQ3-X6Ad5-zuPInNaOm3z4o09vQr3CA","displayUrls":true,"splitSizeSummaries":[{"config":"default","split":"test","numRows":868,"numBytesParquet":2787383}]},"discussionsStats":{"closed":0,"open":1,"total":1},"fullWidth":true,"hasGatedAccess":true,"hasFullAccess":true,"isEmbedded":false,"savedQueries":{"community":[],"user":[]}}">

1
00:01:56,866 --> 00:01:58,051
Eleven o'clock.
2
00:01:58,075 --> 00:02:00,035
I didn't know it was so late.
3
00:02:06,584 --> 00:02:07,751
Goodnight.
4
00:02:07,793 --> 00:02:09,503
Goodnight, dear.
5
00:02:19,180 --> 00:02:21,015
Oh, Bob!
6
00:02:24,185 --> 00:02:26,103
You've got my gloves.
7
00:02:27,688 --> 00:02:30,899
That's funny, there's a pair of gloves
in my pocket.
8
00:02:30,941 --> 00:02:32,776
Are these yours?
9
00:02:33,778 --> 00:02:36,030
Let me put them on for you.
10
00:02:41,410 --> 00:02:43,829
Bob, I really must go now.
11
00:02:47,208 --> 00:02:48,709
Goodnight.
12
00:02:48,751 --> 00:02:53,251
And, honey, you will be on time
tomorrow night, won't you?
13
00:02:53,297 --> 00:02:55,859
You were late tonight
and I was worried.
14
00:02:55,883 --> 00:02:58,510
I'll try awfully hard, Bob.
15
00:03:16,862 --> 00:03:19,865
Just drive down the street a bit,
I'll tell you where to go later.
16
00:03:25,162 --> 00:03:26,830
I'll tell you where to go right now.
17
00:03:26,872 --> 00:03:28,832
Police headquarters.
18
00:03:47,727 --> 00:03:49,770
Go on, get up there.
19
00:03:56,026 --> 00:03:58,570
Well, well, well, if it isn't Ritzie.
20
00:03:58,612 --> 00:04:01,281
This is indeed an honor and a pleasure.
21
00:04:03,868 --> 00:04:06,370
It takes so little to give some
people pleasure, doesn't it?
22
00:04:06,412 --> 00:04:08,247
Where's Thunderbolt?
23
00:04:08,289 --> 00:04:10,541
- Who?
- Don't try any of that stuff on me.
24
00:04:10,583 --> 00:04:12,293
You know who I mean.
25
00:04:12,334 --> 00:04:13,974
In case your memory
has suddenly left you,
26
00:04:14,003 --> 00:04:17,149
let me remind you of Jim Lang,
sometimes called Jim Carson,
27
00:04:17,173 --> 00:04:20,277
sometimes called... well, sometimes
called anything in the world
28
00:04:20,301 --> 00:04:22,678
but always known as Thunderbolt.
29
00:04:26,557 --> 00:04:29,619
I suppose that you've never even heard
of the Hellinger case.
30
00:04:29,643 --> 00:04:32,228
Or the million-dollar
St. Louis Terminal job.
31
00:04:32,313 --> 00:04:36,813
Or the time that he held up
the Iroquois Bank single-handed.
32
00:04:36,984 --> 00:04:40,404
He's wanted right now by nine states
for bank robbery,
33
00:04:40,446 --> 00:04:44,946
and there's two more that'd like to
talk to him on a little matter of murder.
34
00:04:45,242 --> 00:04:47,953
Now maybe you can remember who he is.
35
00:04:49,371 --> 00:04:52,165
Quit your stalling. Where is he?
36
00:04:52,208 --> 00:04:54,418
I don't know what you're talking about.
37
00:04:54,460 --> 00:04:58,297
Don't you try to Ritz me, Ritzie.
38
00:05:02,384 --> 00:05:04,196
Where did you see him last?
39
00:05:04,220 --> 00:05:05,655
I don't remember.
40
00:05:05,679 --> 00:05:07,449
Oh, you won't talk, eh?
41
00:05:07,473 --> 00:05:09,534
Well, maybe you can tell me this.
42
00:05:09,558 --> 00:05:13,538
Who was the other half of the bench picnic
in the park tonight?
43
00:05:13,562 --> 00:05:15,730
Bench picnic?
44
00:05:15,773 --> 00:05:18,525
I was in the park tonight
but I was alone.
45
00:05:18,567 --> 00:05:20,735
Your men must be seeing double, Inspector.
46
00:05:20,778 --> 00:05:24,114
Oh, my men were seeing double,
were they?
47
00:05:26,575 --> 00:05:29,828
Well, here's the other half
of what they saw.
48
00:05:38,671 --> 00:05:40,190
I've had enough of this stalling.
49
00:05:40,214 --> 00:05:43,235
You two have been meeting night after night
for months and I know it.
50
00:05:43,259 --> 00:05:44,986
Well, supposing we have been meeting.
51
00:05:45,010 --> 00:05:46,655
Being in love is no crime yet.
52
00:05:46,679 --> 00:05:48,490
Maybe not,
but being in love with her
53
00:05:48,514 --> 00:05:51,642
is apt to cause you a lot of trouble,
young fellow.
54
00:05:53,561 --> 00:05:55,437
I wonder if you know
that she is the girlfriend
55
00:05:55,479 --> 00:05:58,190
of the most notorious criminal
this state has ever known.
56
00:05:58,232 --> 00:05:59,918
She's been a member of his gang
for two years,
57
00:05:59,942 --> 00:06:01,360
ever since she met him.
58
00:06:01,402 --> 00:06:02,820
I don't know
a woman in this city
59
00:06:02,862 --> 00:06:05,281
that knows more about him
and his affairs than she does.
60
00:06:05,322 --> 00:06:07,824
I know all about that.
That's all over now.
61
00:06:07,867 --> 00:06:09,761
- Where's Thunderbolt?
- I don't know and I don't care.
62
00:06:09,785 --> 00:06:12,496
- What do you do for a living?
- I work at a bank.
63
00:06:13,622 --> 00:06:17,917
How would you like to lose your job
and maybe work in a penitentiary?
64
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,062
That's where you're headed...
65
00:06:19,086 --> 00:06:21,129
You let him alone.
66
00:06:22,256 --> 00:06:23,483
He's on the level.
67
00:06:23,507 --> 00:06:25,443
He's got nothing to do with that crowd.
68
00:06:25,467 --> 00:06:28,613
Listen, Ritzie, you're a smart girl
and you can save yourself a lot of trouble
69
00:06:28,637 --> 00:06:30,740
by giving us a line on Thunderbolt.
70
00:06:30,764 --> 00:06:33,201
You know we can make it pretty hot for you.
71
00:06:33,225 --> 00:06:35,537
You've got nothing on me
and you know it.
72
00:06:35,561 --> 00:06:38,355
If you had,
you'd have locked me up long ago.
73
00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:40,858
I'm through with that mob for good.
74
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:45,400
Whatever mistakes I've made,
I've paid for in my own way.
75
00:06:47,865 --> 00:06:48,907
What do you say, Chief?
76
00:06:48,949 --> 00:06:51,034
Shall I take 'em down and book 'em?
77
00:06:51,076 --> 00:06:52,577
Never mind.
78
00:06:52,620 --> 00:06:55,456
You can go now.
79
00:06:55,497 --> 00:06:57,540
Let her go.
80
00:07:08,427 --> 00:07:10,429
Goodnight, Inspector.
81
00:07:11,555 --> 00:07:13,223
And thank you.
82
00:07:19,939 --> 00:07:22,358
Don't let that dame out of your sight.
83
00:07:22,399 --> 00:07:26,361
Thunderbolt will go through an iron wall
to see her.
84
00:07:26,403 --> 00:07:29,114
And we want to be there
when they meet.
85
00:07:29,156 --> 00:07:31,616
There's always the chance
of nabbing him
86
00:07:31,659 --> 00:07:34,244
as long as she's out.
87
00:08:05,234 --> 00:08:08,320
Good evening, Mr. Th-Th-Thunderbolt.
88
00:08:08,362 --> 00:08:09,946
I got your phone call.
89
00:08:09,989 --> 00:08:13,409
- The the best in the house.
- All right, Oscar.
90
00:08:16,745 --> 00:08:18,788
Check your hat, sir?
91
00:08:19,957 --> 00:08:21,458
No thanks.
92
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:24,377
I never know
when I'm going to leave in a hurry.
93
00:08:25,587 --> 00:08:28,506
I always like to have my hat be with me.
94
00:08:30,801 --> 00:08:34,280
Say, boy, am I seeing right?
95
00:08:34,304 --> 00:08:35,907
Is that Thunderbolt?
96
00:08:35,931 --> 00:08:38,159
Does that mean
there's gonna be any trouble?
97
00:08:38,183 --> 00:08:39,244
Maybe not.
98
00:08:39,268 --> 00:08:41,770
I'm keeping one foot (unintelligible).
99
00:09:12,885 --> 00:09:16,406
Say, (unintelligible) Thunderbolt?
100
00:09:16,430 --> 00:09:20,930
He hits you with that big right soupbone
and just ruins you,
101
00:09:21,060 --> 00:09:23,520
all in one little smackeroo.
102
00:09:23,604 --> 00:09:25,522
That's why they call him Thunderbolt.
103
00:09:25,606 --> 00:09:27,858
Say, one little piece of lead
104
00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:31,612
and the littlest guy'
leave even
as big... The biggest man dead.
105
00:09:31,653 --> 00:09:34,656
Say, why don't nobody take a shot at him?
106
00:09:34,698 --> 00:09:37,409
Well,
the cemetery's full of them that missed.
107
00:09:38,494 --> 00:09:40,662
Let's have some real service, Oscar.
108
00:09:40,704 --> 00:09:43,415
And your r-r-regular order, sir?
109
00:09:43,457 --> 00:09:44,499
Right.
110
00:09:44,541 --> 00:09:46,459
What are you going to have, baby?
111
00:09:46,502 --> 00:09:47,628
Nothing.
112
00:09:48,754 --> 00:09:52,192
That means she'll have a chicken sandwich
and a glass of milk.
113
00:09:52,216 --> 00:09:54,468
Y-y-yes, boss, yes.
114
00:09:57,721 --> 00:09:59,908
What's the matter, Ritzie,
what are you sore about?
115
00:09:59,932 --> 00:10:01,409
I'm not sore.
116
00:10:01,433 --> 00:10:03,810
What good would it do if I were?
117
00:10:07,272 --> 00:10:08,356
What are you looking at?
118
00:10:08,398 --> 00:10:12,777
I'm looking at nothing,
and it's wearing a tuxedo.
119
00:10:14,863 --> 00:10:15,989
Who are you talking to?
120
00:10:16,031 --> 00:10:18,259
Stay right with him, baby.
Don't let him get away with anything.
121
00:10:18,283 --> 00:10:20,410
You might be lightning
to a lot of people,
122
00:10:20,452 --> 00:10:23,580
but you're just a wet match to me.
123
00:10:37,094 --> 00:10:39,280
Say, you big bozo.
124
00:10:39,304 --> 00:10:41,533
That ain't no way to treat a lady.
125
00:10:41,557 --> 00:10:42,599
No?
126
00:10:44,226 --> 00:10:45,268
Give me that gun.
127
00:10:49,398 --> 00:10:52,943
So you don't like the way I treat a lady,
huh?
128
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,699
I ain't gonna wait
for that ham sandwich another minute.
129
00:10:58,740 --> 00:11:00,199
I ain't hungry. Is you?
130
00:11:00,242 --> 00:11:01,886
Oh boy, somebody better call an ambulance.
131
00:11:01,910 --> 00:11:04,203
You wait till I get home,
I'm gonna tell my husband.
132
00:11:04,246 --> 00:11:07,290
L-I-lady, why don't you stop?
133
00:11:07,332 --> 00:11:09,769
- There's gonna be trouble in here in a minute.
- I'm all wet.
134
00:11:09,793 --> 00:11:12,587
I told you he was gon' hit her.
135
00:11:12,629 --> 00:11:16,132
- Take it easy, huh, be careful.
- Are they gonna shoot again?
136
00:11:19,219 --> 00:11:21,239
- Snapper.
- Wait a minute.
137
00:11:21,263 --> 00:11:22,740
Get back there.
138
00:11:22,764 --> 00:11:25,285
Where do you guys think you're going?
139
00:11:25,309 --> 00:11:26,578
Watch 'em, Jimmy.
140
00:11:26,602 --> 00:11:28,204
I wanna go home.
141
00:11:28,228 --> 00:11:29,270
Sit down.
142
00:11:29,313 --> 00:11:32,733
Hey, the two of you men,
143
00:11:32,774 --> 00:11:34,692
clean up this mess out here.
144
00:11:34,735 --> 00:11:36,278
(unintelligible).
145
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,696
Everything all right, chief?
146
00:11:37,738 --> 00:11:38,905
Tough crowd here tonight.
147
00:11:38,947 --> 00:11:40,633
Yeah, how do you feel tonight, Snapper?
148
00:11:40,657 --> 00:11:42,367
Oh, fine, chief.
149
00:11:42,409 --> 00:11:43,827
Hello there, Ritzie.
150
00:11:43,869 --> 00:11:45,036
Have some nuts.
151
00:11:45,078 --> 00:11:46,245
Great for the system.
152
00:11:46,288 --> 00:11:48,415
Fills up the body.
153
00:11:48,457 --> 00:11:50,709
How about your mind?
154
00:11:55,172 --> 00:11:57,066
What do we do with her, Snapper?
155
00:11:57,090 --> 00:12:01,362
Oh, drag that cluck outta here, will ya?
156
00:12:01,386 --> 00:12:04,490
A couple of yous guys.
157
00:12:04,514 --> 00:12:06,265
Let me help you, Snapper.
158
00:12:07,142 --> 00:12:09,329
Hey, lay off that, will ya?
159
00:12:09,353 --> 00:12:11,897
That's my trigger finger.
160
00:12:11,939 --> 00:12:14,191
What a fine night this is.
161
00:12:15,234 --> 00:12:18,237
Oh, uh, listen up, boy.
162
00:12:18,278 --> 00:12:21,197
Oh, uh, oh, uh, get out of here.
163
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,282
Music, boys.
164
00:12:29,706 --> 00:12:33,251
I suppose you thought it was funny
starting that ruckus.
165
00:12:34,127 --> 00:12:37,023
Strikes me you could stand
a little cooling off.
166
00:12:37,047 --> 00:12:39,067
How would you like
a dose of it yourself?
167
00:12:39,091 --> 00:12:40,151
Go right ahead.
168
00:12:40,175 --> 00:12:42,760
I wouldn't put it past you for a minute.
169
00:12:49,393 --> 00:12:53,438
<i>When night is creepin'
and I should be sleepin' in bed</i>
170
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,608
What are you trying to do, baby,
get me sore?
171
00:12:56,650 --> 00:13:00,713
<i>If you were peepin'
you'd find that I'm weepin' instead</i>
172
00:13:00,737 --> 00:13:03,573
Jim, I'm going to quit.
173
00:13:03,615 --> 00:13:05,241
What, again?
174
00:13:05,284 --> 00:13:06,493
I mean it this time.
175
00:13:06,535 --> 00:13:08,245
I've been trying to tell you.
176
00:13:08,287 --> 00:13:10,539
I'm not going on with it anymore.
177
00:13:10,580 --> 00:13:13,082
- <i>I'm</i> through.
<i>- Night after night</i>
178
00:13:13,125 --> 00:13:14,543
Through with what?
179
00:13:14,584 --> 00:13:17,897
What are you talking about?
180
00:13:17,921 --> 00:13:19,399
All this.
181
00:13:19,423 --> 00:13:21,401
These people.
182
00:13:21,425 --> 00:13:22,467
You.
183
00:13:25,887 --> 00:13:29,075
<i>No one can fill
that vacant chair</i>
184
00:13:29,099 --> 00:13:31,035
We're going to have this out right now.
185
00:13:31,059 --> 00:13:32,870
<i>When you're not there</i>
186
00:13:32,894 --> 00:13:37,394
<i>No need to knock,
the door is open for you</i>
187
00:13:38,608 --> 00:13:41,944
<i>-Please, daddy</i>
-We'll <i>find</i> a place where <i>we can</i> talk.
188
00:13:43,947 --> 00:13:44,989
Come on.
189
00:13:47,075 --> 00:13:51,162
<i>Daddy, do you have to roam so very long?</i>
190
00:13:51,204 --> 00:13:52,872
Come on.
191
00:13:52,914 --> 00:13:57,414
<i>There's lots of other new sheiks
who would like to be sheikin'</i>
192
00:13:57,961 --> 00:13:59,837
Come on, baby.
193
00:14:00,881 --> 00:14:05,381
<i>Daddy, daddy, daddy,
won't you please come home?</i>
194
00:14:08,597 --> 00:14:11,743
<i>Night after night, I'm or yin'</i>
195
00:14:11,767 --> 00:14:15,079
<i>Daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
196
00:14:15,103 --> 00:14:18,022
<i>Daddy,
won't you please come home?</i>
197
00:14:18,065 --> 00:14:22,069
<i>I'm so lonesome</i>
198
00:14:22,110 --> 00:14:25,196
<i>No one can fill
that vacant chair</i>
199
00:14:25,238 --> 00:14:28,532
<i>Home isn't home
if you're not there</i>
200
00:14:28,575 --> 00:14:33,075
<i>No need to knock,
the door is open for you</i>
201
00:14:33,955 --> 00:14:35,373
<i>Sweet daddy</i>
202
00:14:35,415 --> 00:14:38,626
<i>Even the clock keeps tickin'</i>
203
00:14:38,668 --> 00:14:41,981
<i>Daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
204
00:14:42,005 --> 00:14:46,505
<i>Daddy, do you have to roam so very long?</i>
205
00:14:47,552 --> 00:14:52,052
<i>There's lots of other new sheiks
who would like to be sheikin'</i>
206
00:14:52,140 --> 00:14:55,453
<i>Haven't slipped yet,
but I'm liable to weaken</i>
207
00:14:55,477 --> 00:14:59,977
<i>Daddy, daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
208
00:15:13,787 --> 00:15:15,747
I don't get you at all.
209
00:15:15,789 --> 00:15:19,584
You tell me you want to step out tonight,
go somewhere that's lively.
210
00:15:19,626 --> 00:15:22,045
I risk my neck
by walking into this joint,
211
00:15:22,087 --> 00:15:25,191
with all the cops
in the world on my trail.
212
00:15:25,215 --> 00:15:26,984
There's a 10-to-1 shot
there's a couple of dicks
213
00:15:27,008 --> 00:15:30,613
shadowing you right now to get to me.
214
00:15:30,637 --> 00:15:32,657
It's all right with me.
215
00:15:32,681 --> 00:15:35,326
I can take care of myself.
216
00:15:35,350 --> 00:15:38,895
But I do all this,
I take this big chance,
217
00:15:38,937 --> 00:15:40,563
and your idea
of the way to behave
218
00:15:40,605 --> 00:15:44,877
is to start that foolishness
all over again.
219
00:15:44,901 --> 00:15:46,569
What's the big idea?
220
00:15:46,611 --> 00:15:48,070
It's just this, Jim.
221
00:15:48,113 --> 00:15:50,448
I want to be decent again.
222
00:15:50,490 --> 00:15:54,160
Well, babe, you've always been
the most decent kid in the racket.
223
00:15:58,039 --> 00:16:01,917
You know, I used to get a big kick
out of being your girl,
224
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,896
out of knowing that
you'd take a chance on your life
225
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,213
just to see me
for a few minutes.
226
00:16:18,894 --> 00:16:22,105
You're the swellest girl
I ever knew.
227
00:16:25,317 --> 00:16:28,862
You wouldn't want to keep me
if I didn't want to stay, would you, Jim?
228
00:16:28,904 --> 00:16:30,947
Wouldn't I?
229
00:16:32,199 --> 00:16:36,661
I'd keep you with me
if the whole world didn't want you to stay
230
00:16:36,703 --> 00:16:38,663
and make them like it.
231
00:16:38,705 --> 00:16:40,665
That's just it.
232
00:16:40,707 --> 00:16:43,751
I don't want people to respect me
because they're afraid
233
00:16:43,793 --> 00:16:45,753
you'll crush their heads
if they don't.
234
00:16:45,795 --> 00:16:48,733
I don't want the police trailing me
wherever I go.
235
00:16:48,757 --> 00:16:51,968
I don't want people pointing at me
and whispering about me.
236
00:16:52,010 --> 00:16:55,281
All this Ritzie talk, boiled down,
means that you...
237
00:16:55,305 --> 00:16:57,366
You're ashamed of me, huh?
238
00:16:57,390 --> 00:17:00,976
No, just ashamed of myself.
239
00:17:01,019 --> 00:17:03,646
I want to know people
who are different from you and me,
240
00:17:03,688 --> 00:17:06,315
people who lead decent, normal lives.
241
00:17:06,358 --> 00:17:09,194
People who get up in the morning
to go to work.
242
00:17:09,236 --> 00:17:10,779
Regular people.
243
00:17:10,820 --> 00:17:12,905
Oh, don't be a fool.
244
00:17:12,948 --> 00:17:14,824
I don't care what you call me, Jim.
245
00:17:14,866 --> 00:17:17,326
That's the way I'm going
to live from now on.
246
00:17:17,369 --> 00:17:18,995
I'm going to quit.
247
00:17:20,372 --> 00:17:22,874
Well, let me tell you something, Ritzie.
248
00:17:22,916 --> 00:17:25,376
Maybe I'd like to go straight too.
249
00:17:25,418 --> 00:17:27,461
I haven't thought about it much.
250
00:17:27,504 --> 00:17:29,649
Maybe I don't know how.
251
00:17:29,673 --> 00:17:33,468
But as long as I'm going my way,
you're going with me.
252
00:17:35,262 --> 00:17:38,115
You're all I've got
that means anything to me.
253
00:17:38,139 --> 00:17:39,492
Do you think I would...
254
00:17:39,516 --> 00:17:42,352
Oh, come on, let's have a good time.
255
00:17:44,312 --> 00:17:46,897
You'll feel better
in the morning.
256
00:17:57,033 --> 00:17:59,702
Wait a minute.
257
00:17:59,744 --> 00:18:03,330
You haven't fallen for another guy,
have you?
258
00:18:03,373 --> 00:18:05,792
- Who is he?
- There is no other guy, Jim.
259
00:18:05,834 --> 00:18:07,627
It's just that we're through.
260
00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:09,837
You and me will never be through, Ritzie.
261
00:18:09,879 --> 00:18:11,566
Get that straight.
262
00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:15,528
You're my girl and nobody on earth
can take you away from me.
263
00:18:15,552 --> 00:18:19,448
Do you think you could hold me
if I didn't love you anymore?
264
00:18:19,472 --> 00:18:20,992
That don't worry me.
265
00:18:21,016 --> 00:18:24,787
It's the guy that tries to take you away
from me that's got the worrying to do.
266
00:18:24,811 --> 00:18:29,311
Oh, I know, it would be easy enough for you
to get your gang to do anything.
267
00:18:29,482 --> 00:18:33,777
That's one job
I wouldn't let anybody do for me.
268
00:18:36,740 --> 00:18:39,200
Come on, baby.
269
00:18:39,242 --> 00:18:41,327
Come on.
270
00:18:52,213 --> 00:18:55,651
I'd get that guy by myself
271
00:18:55,675 --> 00:19:00,175
if it was the last thing
in this world I ever did.
272
00:19:15,904 --> 00:19:17,196
Uh-oh.
273
00:19:17,238 --> 00:19:21,242
W-w—w-what... what's that n-n-now?
274
00:19:21,284 --> 00:19:24,245
I told you this was gonna happen.
275
00:19:24,287 --> 00:19:27,999
Hey, get off my foot.
276
00:19:28,041 --> 00:19:29,459
Find that light switch.
277
00:19:29,501 --> 00:19:32,003
Don't get excited, folks,
it's only a little raid.
278
00:19:32,045 --> 00:19:34,857
Everybody who can stand to pitch
will kindly keep their seats.
279
00:19:34,881 --> 00:19:38,259
Stand still there or I'll shoot.
280
00:19:40,929 --> 00:19:42,281
Don't move.
281
00:19:42,305 --> 00:19:43,699
I ain't movin', boss.
282
00:19:43,723 --> 00:19:45,975
I've been pushed.
283
00:20:09,833 --> 00:20:11,668
Where is Thunderbolt?
Come clean.
284
00:20:11,710 --> 00:20:13,002
Where is he?
285
00:20:14,587 --> 00:20:16,380
I don't know.
286
00:20:19,008 --> 00:20:21,969
And I don't ever want to know.
287
00:20:45,410 --> 00:20:49,789
I want you men to get this
and get it straight.
288
00:20:49,831 --> 00:20:52,166
It's been two months since Thunderbolt
got away from you
289
00:20:52,208 --> 00:20:54,960
and he's got to be found.
290
00:20:55,003 --> 00:20:58,983
Thunderbolt's girl's been living up
at Young Moran's house for weeks
291
00:20:59,007 --> 00:21:01,277
with the kid and his mother.
292
00:21:01,301 --> 00:21:05,801
Don't tell me that that kid doesn't know
something about Thunderbolt.
293
00:21:07,015 --> 00:21:08,826
Put the works on him.
294
00:21:08,850 --> 00:21:10,578
He'll talk
295
00:21:10,602 --> 00:21:15,102
when it's a question of talking
or being out of a job.
296
00:21:27,035 --> 00:21:28,578
Mr. Corwin wants to see you, Bob.
297
00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:30,622
Okay, Jimmy.
298
00:21:44,427 --> 00:21:46,489
You sent for me, Mr. Corwin?
299
00:21:46,513 --> 00:21:47,555
Yes.
300
00:21:48,723 --> 00:21:49,765
Sit down.
301
00:22:03,279 --> 00:22:04,280
Hello, Mom.
302
00:22:05,448 --> 00:22:07,825
- You're late, Bob.
- Yeah, I stayed overtime.
303
00:22:07,867 --> 00:22:09,827
- Hello, dear.
- Hello.
304
00:22:09,869 --> 00:22:12,162
I'm so glad you're here, Bob,
we were worried.
305
00:22:12,205 --> 00:22:14,790
Oh, I'm sorry, Mary,
but there's nothing to worry about.
306
00:22:14,833 --> 00:22:16,477
Everything was all right at the bank,
wasn't it?
307
00:22:16,501 --> 00:22:18,669
Everything was perfect.
308
00:22:21,506 --> 00:22:23,776
Yes, sir, everything was perfect.
309
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,737
- Until about 4:00.
- What happened about 4:00?
310
00:22:26,761 --> 00:22:27,863
Nothing much.
311
00:22:27,887 --> 00:22:29,740
I just got fired.
312
00:22:29,764 --> 00:22:32,284
That's why I stayed late
to turn over my accounts.
313
00:22:32,308 --> 00:22:33,452
You're joking?
314
00:22:33,476 --> 00:22:35,621
I'm not joking, it's the truth.
315
00:22:35,645 --> 00:22:37,438
What was it, Bob?
What was the matter?
316
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,901
Nothing, Mr. Corwin and I just couldn't
agree on how a bank should be run.
317
00:22:43,069 --> 00:22:44,779
It was on my account, wasn't it?
318
00:22:44,821 --> 00:22:46,298
Don't be silly.
319
00:22:46,322 --> 00:22:48,991
Tell me, Bob, I've got to know.
320
00:22:49,033 --> 00:22:51,201
They just told me
I'd have to make a choice.
321
00:22:51,244 --> 00:22:52,847
Either I'd have to give you up or else...
322
00:22:52,871 --> 00:22:53,955
Or else what?
323
00:22:53,997 --> 00:22:56,082
Just or else, that's all.
324
00:22:56,124 --> 00:22:58,376
Well, I'm glad you quit.
325
00:22:58,418 --> 00:23:02,213
I never could understand
why you wanted to stay at that bank anyhow.
326
00:23:02,255 --> 00:23:04,275
I don't think there was much chance
for you there.
327
00:23:04,299 --> 00:23:07,152
Wherever you go,
they'll always be finding out about me.
328
00:23:07,176 --> 00:23:09,446
Let 'em,
there's nothing to find out about you.
329
00:23:09,470 --> 00:23:12,283
You know, I always thought
you were too good for that place.
330
00:23:12,307 --> 00:23:14,767
They didn't appreciate you.
331
00:23:17,395 --> 00:23:19,438
Oh, don't start crying, dear.
332
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,333
You'll get your nose red.
333
00:23:21,357 --> 00:23:23,734
A thing like this doesn't bother us,
does it, Mom?
334
00:23:23,776 --> 00:23:25,778
We've looked for jobs before.
335
00:23:25,820 --> 00:23:27,298
I should never have come here at all.
336
00:23:27,322 --> 00:23:28,489
I knew it wasn't right.
337
00:23:28,531 --> 00:23:30,533
What wasn't right?
338
00:23:30,575 --> 00:23:34,120
Coming to live here
with you and your mother.
339
00:23:34,162 --> 00:23:36,247
You've been wonderful to me.
340
00:23:36,289 --> 00:23:38,666
And this is the way
I'm repaying you,
341
00:23:38,708 --> 00:23:39,792
getting you discharged.
342
00:23:39,834 --> 00:23:42,419
You're working yourself up
over nothing, Mary.
343
00:23:42,462 --> 00:23:44,815
What if I do lose a job now and then?
344
00:23:44,839 --> 00:23:46,567
What difference does it make?
345
00:23:46,591 --> 00:23:50,070
Come on, let's all go out
and have a good time tonight.
346
00:23:50,094 --> 00:23:52,698
Oh, Bob, your mother's
fixed a lovely supper for us.
347
00:23:52,722 --> 00:23:54,283
The lovely supper will keep.
348
00:23:54,307 --> 00:23:55,367
Bob is right.
349
00:23:55,391 --> 00:23:57,870
What you two need is to go out
and enjoy yourselves.
350
00:23:57,894 --> 00:24:00,289
Yeah,
we can't let a chance like this go by.
351
00:24:00,313 --> 00:24:02,690
I may not get fired again
for a long time.
352
00:24:02,732 --> 00:24:04,483
I've got some mending to do.
353
00:24:04,525 --> 00:24:06,318
You children go along by yourselves.
354
00:24:06,361 --> 00:24:09,030
Come now.
Come and get all dressed up.
355
00:24:09,072 --> 00:24:10,698
There you are.
356
00:24:16,371 --> 00:24:19,832
(unintelligible).
357
00:24:25,755 --> 00:24:27,900
Did someone knock, Bob?
358
00:24:27,924 --> 00:24:30,986
I thought I heard a knock.
359
00:24:31,010 --> 00:24:32,886
There's no one out here.
360
00:24:34,681 --> 00:24:37,117
Come on, get your hat, Bob.
361
00:24:37,141 --> 00:24:38,202
Run along, dear.
362
00:24:38,226 --> 00:24:40,353
- Have a good time.
- Goodnight.
363
00:24:41,396 --> 00:24:43,689
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight, Mom.
364
00:25:15,596 --> 00:25:18,283
Now, don't feel that way.
365
00:25:18,307 --> 00:25:20,475
Nothing important has happened.
366
00:25:20,518 --> 00:25:23,747
The thing that gets me
is that I was expecting a promotion,
367
00:25:23,771 --> 00:25:25,689
and you know what that meant.
368
00:25:25,732 --> 00:25:26,983
I'm not gonna wait any longer.
369
00:25:27,025 --> 00:25:29,861
As soon as I get a job again,
we're going to be married.
370
00:25:29,902 --> 00:25:32,112
There's no sense in waiting.
371
00:25:34,449 --> 00:25:36,409
Well, if it ain't the long lost child.
372
00:25:36,451 --> 00:25:37,469
Hello there, Ritzie.
373
00:25:37,493 --> 00:25:40,162
Well, it was a long time finding ya.
374
00:25:40,204 --> 00:25:41,622
I think you've made a mistake.
375
00:25:41,664 --> 00:25:44,208
You made a mistake, baby,
thinking you could keep out of sight.
376
00:25:44,250 --> 00:25:47,253
- Come on, Bob.
- So this is the old hideaway, is it?
377
00:25:47,295 --> 00:25:50,506
Well, I guess you know Thunderbolt's
been looking high and low for ya, don't ya?
378
00:25:50,548 --> 00:25:51,984
Why didn't you let him know
where you were?
379
00:25:52,008 --> 00:25:53,318
Drop him a postcard or something.
380
00:25:53,342 --> 00:25:55,112
I'm not interested in Thunderbolt.
381
00:25:55,136 --> 00:25:57,698
You're not, huh?
382
00:25:57,722 --> 00:26:02,222
And this is the Kewpie that made a sucker
out of Thunderbolt, huh?
383
00:26:02,643 --> 00:26:05,914
Well, I wouldn't be in your shoes
for all the rice in China.
384
00:26:05,938 --> 00:26:07,397
Stay on the level, Ritzie.
385
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,817
What have you been doing
with yourself all this time?
386
00:26:09,859 --> 00:26:11,277
Take your hand off her.
387
00:26:11,319 --> 00:26:12,504
Don't shove me.
388
00:26:12,528 --> 00:26:14,071
I'll shove ya.
389
00:26:14,113 --> 00:26:15,507
Well, I'll teach you to shove me.
390
00:26:15,531 --> 00:26:17,616
Look out, Bob, he's got a gun!
391
00:26:23,164 --> 00:26:24,641
Come on, Bob, let's go back upstairs.
392
00:26:24,665 --> 00:26:26,875
I'd like to take another sock at that guy.
393
00:26:26,918 --> 00:26:28,252
You've hurt your hand too.
394
00:26:28,294 --> 00:26:29,336
Come on, Bob.
395
00:26:31,714 --> 00:26:35,069
Did you fall downstairs?
396
00:26:35,093 --> 00:26:39,114
- Why, what happened?
- He fell downstairs, the poor man.
397
00:26:39,138 --> 00:26:42,201
I'd put a piece of fresh beef steak
on that eye if I were you.
398
00:26:42,225 --> 00:26:43,786
Well, you ain't me.
399
00:26:43,810 --> 00:26:46,705
My sister always puts a key
down the back of her neck
400
00:26:46,729 --> 00:26:48,480
to stop a nosebleed.
401
00:26:48,523 --> 00:26:51,484
I'll slip something down the back of
your neck if you don't leave me alone.
402
00:26:51,526 --> 00:26:54,195
Where's the nearest telephone
around here?
403
00:26:54,237 --> 00:26:56,781
Well, here,
don't you dare go near there.
404
00:26:56,823 --> 00:27:00,076
Oh, I just hate to see anybody hurt.
405
00:27:01,786 --> 00:27:04,079
Oh, now a squalling baby.
406
00:27:06,165 --> 00:27:08,041
Why, what's the matter?
407
00:27:08,084 --> 00:27:11,128
Nothing.
She talked me out of going out.
408
00:27:11,170 --> 00:27:13,463
You've hurt your hand.
What's happened?
409
00:27:13,506 --> 00:27:15,925
I guess I knocked it
against something.
410
00:27:18,803 --> 00:27:21,597
What's happened, Mary?
411
00:27:21,639 --> 00:27:24,118
We ran into a man I used to know.
412
00:27:24,142 --> 00:27:27,246
He tried to get fresh
and Bob had to hit him.
413
00:27:27,270 --> 00:27:29,814
Oh, I... I see, I...
414
00:27:31,149 --> 00:27:33,151
Well, we'll put something on it.
415
00:27:33,192 --> 00:27:34,419
- Don't bother, Mom.
- No, come on,
416
00:27:34,443 --> 00:27:36,088
we'll wash it out
and put some iodine on it.
417
00:27:36,112 --> 00:27:37,422
I don't want any of that stuff on it.
418
00:27:37,446 --> 00:27:40,240
Took a week for it to
wear off the last time.
419
00:27:41,826 --> 00:27:43,702
I don't want anything on it.
420
00:27:45,037 --> 00:27:46,913
That water could be hot.
421
00:27:48,207 --> 00:27:50,250
Mom, you treat me like I was a baby.
422
00:27:50,293 --> 00:27:51,919
That's all you act like
when you're hurt.
423
00:27:51,961 --> 00:27:53,045
Well, I ain't hurt.
424
00:27:53,087 --> 00:27:55,274
You got me mixed up
with the other guy.
425
00:27:55,298 --> 00:27:56,692
I'll bet you never touched
the other guy.
426
00:27:56,716 --> 00:27:59,820
Yeah? Well, no mother'
be able
to fix him up for a long time.
427
00:27:59,844 --> 00:28:03,013
That's what you say.
I'd like to see him to believe that.
428
00:28:07,143 --> 00:28:09,645
Answer the telephone, Mary.
429
00:28:18,446 --> 00:28:21,907
Mary, answer the telephone.
430
00:28:27,496 --> 00:28:28,538
Hello?
431
00:28:33,711 --> 00:28:36,088
How's every little thing?
432
00:28:40,676 --> 00:28:43,261
I'll be coming up your way.
433
00:28:47,767 --> 00:28:50,370
I can't, eh?
434
00:28:50,394 --> 00:28:52,771
I'll come right down.
435
00:28:52,813 --> 00:28:54,773
What for?
436
00:28:54,815 --> 00:28:57,317
It won't make any difference
to your boyfriend.
437
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,945
You might as well say goodbye
to him now.
438
00:28:59,987 --> 00:29:03,365
I just called up
to give you fair warning.
439
00:29:10,831 --> 00:29:12,976
- Let's put this iodine on it.
- I don't want any iodine.
440
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,752
Now hold still, hold still.
441
00:29:16,545 --> 00:29:18,296
Ouch. Ow!
442
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,277
Now look what you've done.
443
00:29:22,301 --> 00:29:23,820
All over my clean floor.
444
00:29:23,844 --> 00:29:25,679
I'll clean it up.
445
00:29:27,139 --> 00:29:28,325
Not my towels!
446
00:29:28,349 --> 00:29:29,993
Ouch.
447
00:29:30,017 --> 00:29:32,829
Do nothing but buy towels for this place.
448
00:29:32,853 --> 00:29:34,414
Look out there now.
449
00:29:34,438 --> 00:29:37,816
You know I keep
the floor cloths under here.
450
00:29:37,858 --> 00:29:39,067
Look at that iodine.
451
00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:40,486
You never can get that up.
452
00:29:40,528 --> 00:29:42,714
Well, I told you not to bring it out,
didn't I?
453
00:29:42,738 --> 00:29:44,030
I'd like to put some on your...
454
00:29:44,073 --> 00:29:45,908
Jiggers, Mom, I'm gettin' sore now.
455
00:29:45,950 --> 00:29:48,160
Well, what do you do if you get sore?
456
00:29:48,202 --> 00:29:49,846
Well, I'll show you,
I'm bigger than you are.
457
00:29:49,870 --> 00:29:51,580
Yes, well...
458
00:29:51,622 --> 00:29:53,892
- Give me the napkin.
- Not look, you'll get your hands all dirty.
459
00:29:53,916 --> 00:29:55,959
Give me that rag.
Give me that rag.
460
00:29:56,002 --> 00:29:58,629
I'm telling you, there's nothing...
461
00:29:58,671 --> 00:29:59,713
Bob, now, stop it.
462
00:29:59,755 --> 00:30:01,858
You're nothing but a big baby.
463
00:30:01,882 --> 00:30:04,152
NOW Will you stop it?
464
00:30:04,176 --> 00:30:05,218
Let go.
465
00:30:07,430 --> 00:30:10,617
Say, Bob, now who do you think I am?
466
00:30:10,641 --> 00:30:12,577
You're not fighting with
that fella down there!
467
00:30:12,601 --> 00:30:14,936
Yeah, I'm working with you, Mom.
468
00:30:19,775 --> 00:30:21,234
Stop it!
469
00:30:21,277 --> 00:30:23,570
Bob, please! Ow!
470
00:31:27,301 --> 00:31:29,219
Go on, get out of here. Beat it.
471
00:31:39,855 --> 00:31:41,356
I can't find her.
472
00:31:41,399 --> 00:31:44,568
Well, now don't worry, she's only gone
to the grocer's or something.
473
00:31:44,610 --> 00:31:47,446
I know, but she's been gone
such a long time.
474
00:31:47,488 --> 00:31:49,698
But here's her pocketbook and gloves.
475
00:31:49,740 --> 00:31:51,843
- She'll be back soon.
- Now, I'm worried.
476
00:31:51,867 --> 00:31:53,345
Well, I'm the one
that ought to be worried
477
00:31:53,369 --> 00:31:56,080
with the dinner getting cold
and everything.
478
00:31:56,122 --> 00:31:58,082
Do you think we oughta call
the police?
479
00:31:58,124 --> 00:32:02,169
Now, Bob, don't be so silly.
480
00:32:02,211 --> 00:32:04,922
She'll be back in less than no time.
481
00:32:08,300 --> 00:32:09,342
Hello?
482
00:32:38,664 --> 00:32:41,583
Katie! Katie!
483
00:32:42,835 --> 00:32:43,877
Yes?
484
00:32:44,753 --> 00:32:46,296
Are you calling me, Annie?
485
00:32:46,338 --> 00:32:48,150
You and Bill better come right up.
486
00:32:48,174 --> 00:32:49,925
The radio's working again.
487
00:32:49,967 --> 00:32:52,886
I'll be up in a minute,
Bill ain't home yet.
488
00:33:20,539 --> 00:33:22,832
Hey, listen,
I thought I told you to beat it.
489
00:33:22,875 --> 00:33:24,001
Now, come on, go home.
490
00:33:24,043 --> 00:33:26,211
I got work to do. Come on, boy.
491
00:33:26,253 --> 00:33:28,630
Nice little dog. Come on.
492
00:33:30,299 --> 00:33:31,735
Come on.
493
00:33:31,759 --> 00:33:34,136
Come on, come on.
494
00:33:35,346 --> 00:33:36,388
Come on.
495
00:33:38,098 --> 00:33:40,118
Come on, boy.
496
00:33:40,142 --> 00:33:41,578
Come on.
497
00:33:41,602 --> 00:33:42,829
Come on, boy.
498
00:33:42,853 --> 00:33:43,895
Come on.
499
00:33:47,316 --> 00:33:48,400
Come on, boy.
500
00:33:48,442 --> 00:33:49,484
Come on, boy.
501
00:33:50,653 --> 00:33:51,820
Come on!
502
00:33:51,862 --> 00:33:53,780
Come on, boy.
503
00:33:59,370 --> 00:34:01,121
Come on, boy.
504
00:34:01,163 --> 00:34:02,205
Come on.
505
00:34:05,376 --> 00:34:07,878
Come on, boy.
506
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,254
Come on.
507
00:34:09,296 --> 00:34:10,690
Come on, boy.
508
00:34:10,714 --> 00:34:11,756
Come on.
509
00:34:21,850 --> 00:34:24,102
Ain't he cute?
510
00:34:28,691 --> 00:34:32,695
I just love dogs.
511
00:34:43,998 --> 00:34:45,040
Come on.
512
00:34:48,127 --> 00:34:49,461
Come on.
513
00:34:49,503 --> 00:34:51,254
Come on, get out of here, get out.
514
00:34:51,297 --> 00:34:53,340
Go on, get out. Beat it!
515
00:34:54,383 --> 00:34:55,425
Stay out.
516
00:35:18,490 --> 00:35:20,051
Now, Bob, don't go near that door.
517
00:35:20,075 --> 00:35:21,659
I'm not going near the door, Mom.
518
00:35:21,702 --> 00:35:23,662
Come on away now.
519
00:35:33,297 --> 00:35:34,774
There's that bark again.
520
00:35:34,798 --> 00:35:37,068
Well, what if a dog does bark?
521
00:35:37,092 --> 00:35:39,279
I didn't know there was a dog in the house.
522
00:35:39,303 --> 00:35:41,823
Don't go out, Bob.
523
00:35:41,847 --> 00:35:43,992
Please, for my sake.
524
00:35:44,016 --> 00:35:46,768
Don't go out until Mary returns.
525
00:35:48,937 --> 00:35:50,332
What are you barking for?
526
00:35:50,356 --> 00:35:52,107
I thought I told you to beat it.
527
00:35:52,191 --> 00:35:54,234
You're going for a walk.
528
00:36:09,708 --> 00:36:11,251
You poor little mutt.
529
00:36:11,293 --> 00:36:12,544
Go on home.
530
00:36:12,586 --> 00:36:14,296
If you've got a home.
531
00:36:14,338 --> 00:36:16,131
I've got no time to play with you now.
532
00:36:16,173 --> 00:36:19,384
Put up your hands,
you're under arrest.
533
00:36:26,266 --> 00:36:27,600
All right, put 'em up.
534
00:36:29,144 --> 00:36:30,979
And keep 'em up.
535
00:36:33,315 --> 00:36:34,983
Frisk him, Bill.
536
00:36:51,166 --> 00:36:53,168
Slip the bracelets on him.
537
00:37:05,013 --> 00:37:06,574
Get back up there.
What are you doing up here?
538
00:37:06,598 --> 00:37:09,077
Go on, go wait upstairs.
539
00:37:09,101 --> 00:37:11,061
Go on, upstairs, everybody.
540
00:37:12,855 --> 00:37:15,023
Come on, keep movin' there, keep movin'.
541
00:37:17,609 --> 00:37:20,194
Wait up there, now go on,
now get back up there.
542
00:37:23,991 --> 00:37:27,703
Well, well, well, Thunderbolt.
543
00:37:29,163 --> 00:37:31,748
Long time no see.
544
00:37:42,801 --> 00:37:45,321
You guys are all alike.
545
00:37:45,345 --> 00:37:49,845
No brains, no brains.
546
00:37:49,933 --> 00:37:52,894
Your dame told us
you were coming here.
547
00:38:00,486 --> 00:38:03,572
A lot of help you were.
548
00:38:03,614 --> 00:38:07,326
To think it took a mutt like you
to send me up.
549
00:38:07,367 --> 00:38:08,618
I didn't know you had a dog.
550
00:38:08,660 --> 00:38:10,161
Is he yours?
551
00:38:10,204 --> 00:38:12,289
He is now.
552
00:38:12,331 --> 00:38:15,083
He cost me plenty.
553
00:38:16,460 --> 00:38:18,128
Ain't he beautiful?
554
00:38:18,170 --> 00:38:19,963
I wouldn't brag about him.
555
00:38:20,005 --> 00:38:21,756
Come on, boys.
556
00:39:00,462 --> 00:39:01,671
Let me go down there.
557
00:39:01,713 --> 00:39:02,714
Let me!
558
00:39:02,756 --> 00:39:04,359
What right have you got
to keep me back?
559
00:39:04,383 --> 00:39:05,425
Just stay back.
560
00:39:07,302 --> 00:39:08,363
Oh, Bob.
561
00:39:08,387 --> 00:39:09,781
What is the matter, Mary,
what happened?
562
00:39:09,805 --> 00:39:12,283
Go into the... go into the house,
go on, children.
563
00:39:12,307 --> 00:39:14,911
I wonder what she's got to do with it.
564
00:39:14,935 --> 00:39:15,977
I don't know.
565
00:39:41,712 --> 00:39:44,131
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
566
00:39:44,172 --> 00:39:46,442
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
567
00:39:46,466 --> 00:39:50,966
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
568
00:39:51,847 --> 00:39:54,349
<i>Brother, you ought to been there</i>
569
00:39:54,391 --> 00:39:56,870
<i>Yes, my Lord</i>
570
00:39:56,894 --> 00:40:01,394
<i>A-sitting in the kingdom
for to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
571
00:40:01,982 --> 00:40:04,335
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
572
00:40:04,359 --> 00:40:06,569
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
573
00:40:06,612 --> 00:40:11,112
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
574
00:40:11,533 --> 00:40:14,702
<i>Sister, you ought to been there</i>
575
00:40:14,745 --> 00:40:18,123
<i>Yes, my Lord</i>
576
00:40:18,165 --> 00:40:22,665
<i>A-sitting in the kingdom
for to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
577
00:40:24,630 --> 00:40:27,483
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
578
00:40:27,507 --> 00:40:30,236
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
579
00:40:30,260 --> 00:40:34,760
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
580
00:40:36,725 --> 00:40:39,579
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
581
00:40:39,603 --> 00:40:42,897
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
582
00:40:42,940 --> 00:40:47,440
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
583
00:41:02,334 --> 00:41:06,834
Say,
this piano will need tuning pretty soon.
584
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,756
Yes.
585
00:41:11,009 --> 00:41:15,509
I wish there were a way of telling
when a human being's out of tune.
586
00:41:22,646 --> 00:41:25,523
Couldn't be more comfortable at the Ritz.
587
00:41:25,565 --> 00:41:26,941
One-Way Street, huh?
588
00:41:26,984 --> 00:41:29,987
Everything coming in
and nothing going out.
589
00:41:44,459 --> 00:41:47,378
Now take care of yourself
and don't catch cold.
590
00:41:47,421 --> 00:41:49,256
Plenty of blankets here.
591
00:41:49,297 --> 00:41:50,775
And look out for pneumonia.
592
00:41:50,799 --> 00:41:53,510
Don't want to give this place
a bad name.
593
00:42:09,234 --> 00:42:13,613
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
594
00:42:13,655 --> 00:42:17,367
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
595
00:42:18,285 --> 00:42:22,785
<i>I want to go to Heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
596
00:42:27,836 --> 00:42:31,172
Hey, Number 3!
597
00:42:32,549 --> 00:42:35,236
Hey you, new guy.
598
00:42:35,260 --> 00:42:37,238
You're Number 3.
599
00:42:37,262 --> 00:42:39,323
You might as well get
me right from the start.
600
00:42:39,347 --> 00:42:42,744
I'm Number 1 anywhere.
601
00:42:42,768 --> 00:42:47,268
Well, Number 3 or... or Number 1
or whatever you are,
602
00:42:47,439 --> 00:42:50,775
do you sing tenor?
603
00:42:50,817 --> 00:42:52,151
Who me?
604
00:42:52,194 --> 00:42:54,362
I kill tenors.
605
00:42:55,864 --> 00:42:58,658
Oh, a tough guy, hey?
606
00:42:58,700 --> 00:43:01,119
Too bad you ain't a tenor.
607
00:43:01,161 --> 00:43:04,414
We had a swell quartet,
608
00:43:04,456 --> 00:43:07,041
but they took our tenor yesterday.
609
00:43:08,168 --> 00:43:10,336
Hey, Number 4.
610
00:43:10,378 --> 00:43:12,838
What does that new bird look like?
611
00:43:14,299 --> 00:43:18,780
Well, ain't much to be said about him.
612
00:43:18,804 --> 00:43:19,888
Pretty big.
613
00:43:21,223 --> 00:43:25,723
Got a mug on him
like they use to scare babies with.
614
00:43:25,977 --> 00:43:27,663
Looks like he cuts his hair with a...
615
00:43:27,687 --> 00:43:30,022
Oh, close your trap.
616
00:43:30,065 --> 00:43:33,544
Say, is that you, Thunderbolt?
617
00:43:33,568 --> 00:43:35,319
That's me.
618
00:43:35,362 --> 00:43:39,862
Reading from left to right, Thunderbolt.
619
00:43:39,991 --> 00:43:41,534
Who wants to know?
620
00:43:41,576 --> 00:43:44,829
Don't tell me that you've forgotten me.
621
00:43:44,871 --> 00:43:47,248
Wait, that sounds like Chuck.
622
00:43:47,290 --> 00:43:49,125
Is that you, kid?
623
00:43:49,167 --> 00:43:52,336
The kid himself, sure thing.
624
00:43:52,379 --> 00:43:56,192
Say, what are you in for, big boy?
625
00:43:56,216 --> 00:43:58,402
Being kind to animals.
626
00:43:58,426 --> 00:44:02,740
I just got too interested in a dog,
that's all.
627
00:44:02,764 --> 00:44:05,076
You know any more jokes?
628
00:44:05,100 --> 00:44:08,103
This place is for killers.
629
00:44:12,858 --> 00:44:14,985
Who is that, a friend of yours, Chuck?
630
00:44:15,026 --> 00:44:18,487
Friend of mine?
I should say not.
631
00:44:18,530 --> 00:44:22,033
How long you gonna stop in our hotel, Jim?
632
00:44:22,075 --> 00:44:23,993
About eight weeks.
633
00:44:24,035 --> 00:44:27,204
Anybody else in here I oughta know?
634
00:44:27,247 --> 00:44:29,374
Holler roll for him, boys.
635
00:44:29,416 --> 00:44:33,916
Joe Ripley, been here so long
I've forgotten what I'm in for.
636
00:44:33,962 --> 00:44:36,506
Kentucky Sampson.
637
00:44:36,548 --> 00:44:39,443
Caught on the 13th job.
638
00:44:39,467 --> 00:44:43,967
I was that good, the jury brought in a verdict
of guilty before they went out to lunch.
639
00:44:44,472 --> 00:44:47,975
I'm next door, Jim, Number 5.
640
00:44:50,103 --> 00:44:52,415
Hey, Pat, give me a light, will ya?
641
00:44:52,439 --> 00:44:54,649
<i>Everybody talkin' 'bout Heaven
ain't goin' there</i>
642
00:44:54,733 --> 00:44:57,152
<i>Heaven, Heaven</i>
643
00:44:57,194 --> 00:45:00,739
<i>Gonna shout all over,
goin' to Heaven</i>
644
00:45:00,780 --> 00:45:03,115
Leave those matches here, will you, Pat?
645
00:45:03,158 --> 00:45:05,034
I would (unintelligible).
646
00:45:05,076 --> 00:45:07,578
Sure, you know it's against the rules.
647
00:45:07,621 --> 00:45:11,291
And furthermore, my name is not Pat.
648
00:45:11,333 --> 00:45:13,376
- What is your name?
- Don't tell him!
649
00:45:13,418 --> 00:45:16,254
Make him guess!
650
00:45:16,296 --> 00:45:18,089
Number 6.
651
00:45:18,131 --> 00:45:21,676
Making my exit today.
652
00:45:21,718 --> 00:45:24,447
<i>I got a song, you got a song</i>
653
00:45:24,471 --> 00:45:27,366
<i>All of God's children got a song</i>
654
00:45:27,390 --> 00:45:30,912
Number 7 is at the piano.
655
00:45:30,936 --> 00:45:34,123
Special dispensation from the warden.
656
00:45:34,147 --> 00:45:37,668
Number 8, (unintelligible) Roberts.
657
00:45:37,692 --> 00:45:40,027
Murder in the first degree.
658
00:45:40,070 --> 00:45:42,113
Brought up by honest parents.
659
00:45:42,155 --> 00:45:45,491
At least, they was honest as far as I know.
660
00:45:45,533 --> 00:45:50,033
Absolutely on the level
until my 12th birthday.
661
00:45:55,335 --> 00:45:59,774
Number 9's still in the hospital, I guess.
662
00:45:59,798 --> 00:46:03,277
Number 10, now broadcasting.
663
00:46:03,301 --> 00:46:06,155
Bad AI Frieberg, that's me.
664
00:46:06,179 --> 00:46:09,909
I guess I don't have to tell you who I am.
665
00:46:09,933 --> 00:46:12,078
Maybe you should.
666
00:46:12,102 --> 00:46:14,288
I never heard of you.
667
00:46:14,312 --> 00:46:15,998
Don't kid me.
668
00:46:16,022 --> 00:46:18,107
Everybody heard about me.
669
00:46:18,149 --> 00:46:21,443
There was whole pages in
the papers when I was caught
670
00:46:21,486 --> 00:46:23,529
Pictures and everything.
671
00:46:23,571 --> 00:46:28,071
The Machine Gun Terror,
that's what they call me.
672
00:46:29,077 --> 00:46:31,954
Oh yes, I remember you now.
673
00:46:31,997 --> 00:46:35,166
The Machine Gun Terror, huh?
674
00:46:35,208 --> 00:46:39,420
Well,
down my way they call you Squirt Gun AI.
675
00:46:39,462 --> 00:46:41,630
I'll squirt gun you, you big stick.
If I ever...
676
00:46:41,673 --> 00:46:46,010
Oh, you big fat head,
I bet you bragged your way into the joint.
677
00:46:48,513 --> 00:46:49,824
Come on, Number 7.
678
00:46:49,848 --> 00:46:51,850
Back to your cell.
679
00:47:13,538 --> 00:47:18,038
As I was saying, I was absolutely
on the level until my 12th birthday,
680
00:47:19,502 --> 00:47:24,002
and then, well,
nothing much happened until I was 37.
681
00:47:25,008 --> 00:47:27,844
Then I blew up over a dame!
682
00:47:29,304 --> 00:47:31,657
You're not the only one.
683
00:47:31,681 --> 00:47:33,242
You said it.
684
00:47:33,266 --> 00:47:36,162
There's a dame behind
every guy in this joint.
685
00:47:36,186 --> 00:47:38,456
That was the trouble with me.
686
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,149
The dames wouldn't let me alone.
687
00:47:41,191 --> 00:47:45,691
I wouldn't be here now if two skirts
hadn't fell for me at the same time.
688
00:47:48,198 --> 00:47:50,450
Yeah, I know.
689
00:47:50,492 --> 00:47:54,992
Fell for you, you mean tripped
trying to get out of your way.
690
00:47:57,707 --> 00:47:59,625
Say, listen.
691
00:47:59,667 --> 00:48:01,669
I've had about enough out of you.
692
00:48:01,711 --> 00:48:05,066
I'd show you something if they let
me out of here a couple of minutes.
693
00:48:05,090 --> 00:48:06,567
You big cluck!
694
00:48:06,591 --> 00:48:09,153
What would you do, big boy?
695
00:48:09,177 --> 00:48:10,821
I'd do plenty.
696
00:48:10,845 --> 00:48:12,847
Don't you worry about that.
697
00:48:12,889 --> 00:48:16,285
I ain't afraid of you or that
phony right hand of yours.
698
00:48:16,309 --> 00:48:19,580
Sure you're not,
699
00:48:19,604 --> 00:48:22,523
with these bars between us.
700
00:48:33,868 --> 00:48:36,161
- Hello, Mr. Moran.
- Hello, Jack.
701
00:48:36,204 --> 00:48:38,372
- How are you?
- Fine.
702
00:48:55,056 --> 00:48:57,618
Well, what can I do for you?
703
00:48:57,642 --> 00:49:00,246
Well, you sent for me, Mr. Corwin.
704
00:49:00,270 --> 00:49:02,289
I did nothing of the sort.
705
00:49:02,313 --> 00:49:04,023
That's funny.
706
00:49:04,065 --> 00:49:08,319
Your secretary phoned the house yesterday
and left word that you wanted to see me.
707
00:49:16,453 --> 00:49:18,037
Miss Randall has gone to lunch.
708
00:49:18,079 --> 00:49:20,164
Is there anything I can do for you, sir?
709
00:49:20,206 --> 00:49:22,374
No, never mind.
710
00:49:22,417 --> 00:49:25,044
I don't see why she
should've called you up.
711
00:49:25,086 --> 00:49:27,671
There's nothing I want to see you about.
712
00:49:30,049 --> 00:49:32,968
Then I'm sorry I bothered you.
713
00:49:46,065 --> 00:49:48,233
Got a match, buddy?
714
00:49:56,451 --> 00:49:58,244
Take it easy, Moran.
715
00:49:58,286 --> 00:50:01,455
Come on there, all of you,
get your hands up.
716
00:50:01,498 --> 00:50:02,624
Keep 'em up!
717
00:50:02,665 --> 00:50:06,043
High up there, face the wall!
718
00:50:06,085 --> 00:50:08,670
Come on, do as I tell you.
719
00:50:23,478 --> 00:50:27,978
Even a bank ain't safe
from these gangsters.
720
00:50:29,526 --> 00:50:32,487
- Come on, come on.
- Hey!
721
00:50:46,167 --> 00:50:48,085
Come on!

00:51:32,088 --> 00:51:34,275
You seem happy tonight.
730
00:51:34,299 --> 00:51:36,968
Just got some great news.
731
00:51:38,845 --> 00:51:41,657
What would you call great news?
732
00:51:41,681 --> 00:51:43,033
Getting out of here?
733
00:51:43,057 --> 00:51:44,785
That doesn't worry me.
734
00:51:44,809 --> 00:51:48,062
I've always paid my way.
735
00:51:48,104 --> 00:51:51,000
What does worry you?
736
00:51:51,024 --> 00:51:52,525
Maybe I can help you.
737
00:51:52,567 --> 00:51:55,987
<i>My Adeline</i>
738
00:51:56,029 --> 00:51:59,115
You couldn't help me with this.
739
00:51:59,157 --> 00:52:03,411
I've got to do this myself.
740
00:52:03,453 --> 00:52:04,996
<i>For you I pine</i>
741
00:52:05,038 --> 00:52:08,458
Well, maybe I can help you some other time.
742
00:52:08,499 --> 00:52:11,418
<i>In all my dreams</i>
743
00:52:11,461 --> 00:52:14,630
Maybe you can.
744
00:52:14,672 --> 00:52:19,172
<i>-Your fair face beams
-Your fair face beams</i>
745
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:31,040
Come on, you guys!
746
00:52:31,064 --> 00:52:32,750
Come and get me!
747
00:52:32,774 --> 00:52:36,235
Get back, get back.
748
00:52:36,277 --> 00:52:38,779
You men will only get me into trouble.
749
00:52:38,821 --> 00:52:41,156
I'll handle this.
750
00:52:41,199 --> 00:52:42,867
Watch me!
751
00:52:42,909 --> 00:52:45,453
Now you turn over that gun
this minute, do you hear?
752
00:52:45,495 --> 00:52:47,079
This is my last warning.
753
00:52:47,121 --> 00:52:49,790
If you don't, we'll just
have to fill you full of bullets!
754
00:52:49,832 --> 00:52:52,292
Go ahead, that's what I want you to do!
755
00:52:52,335 --> 00:52:55,880
I don't care how I croak
as long as I beat you to it.
756
00:52:55,922 --> 00:52:57,650
Bad AI Frieberg!
757
00:52:57,674 --> 00:53:00,569
That's me!
758
00:53:00,593 --> 00:53:04,865
Now listen, AI, listen to reason.
759
00:53:04,889 --> 00:53:07,910
We've got to execute you tonight.
760
00:53:07,934 --> 00:53:10,412
Besides, you haven't got a chance, AI.
761
00:53:10,436 --> 00:53:12,915
That gun's empty.
762
00:53:12,939 --> 00:53:16,317
- How do you know?
- We caught the guy who sold it to you.
763
00:53:16,359 --> 00:53:19,070
I'll show you whether it's empty or not!
764
00:53:19,112 --> 00:53:21,531
Ah, don't point that thing at me!
765
00:53:21,572 --> 00:53:23,198
Bring on your gang.
766
00:53:23,241 --> 00:53:27,286
I don't care how I die
as long as I die shooting!
767
00:53:27,328 --> 00:53:29,621
Yeah, you'll die shooting.
768
00:53:29,664 --> 00:53:31,957
Shooting off your mouth.
769
00:53:31,999 --> 00:53:34,334
I'll get you too before I'm through!
770
00:53:34,377 --> 00:53:37,088
You ain't big enough, little boy.
771
00:53:37,130 --> 00:53:39,441
I'll fill you full of lead
if it's the last thing I do!
772
00:53:39,465 --> 00:53:43,965
Yes, and if I was the warden I'd take that gat
away from you and shove it down your throat.
773
00:53:44,512 --> 00:53:48,325
If I could only get close enough
to take a crack at you!
774
00:53:48,349 --> 00:53:52,849
You haven't got the nerve it takes
to crack a slot machine.
775
00:54:02,363 --> 00:54:03,697
Get out of the way, boys!
776
00:54:03,740 --> 00:54:05,158
Clear the deck!
777
00:54:05,199 --> 00:54:07,177
Give me that gun, you rat.
778
00:54:07,201 --> 00:54:09,620
Give it to you?
779
00:54:09,662 --> 00:54:11,872
I'll give it to you all right!
780
00:54:17,128 --> 00:54:21,048
<i>Rock-a—bye baby, on the treetops</i>
781
00:54:21,090 --> 00:54:24,945
<i>When the wind blows, the cradle will rock</i>
782
00:54:24,969 --> 00:54:28,824
<i>When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall</i>
783
00:54:28,848 --> 00:54:33,348
<i>Down will come baby, cradle and all</i>
784
00:54:33,436 --> 00:54:36,415
Here's a souvenir for you, warden.
785
00:54:36,439 --> 00:54:39,567
<i>When the wind blows, the cradle will rock</i>
786
00:54:39,609 --> 00:54:41,211
Get the doctor!
787
00:54:41,235 --> 00:54:42,903
You get back in your cell!
788
00:54:42,945 --> 00:54:44,154
Go on now!
789
00:54:44,197 --> 00:54:48,697
<i>Down will come baby, cradle and all</i>
790
00:55:04,342 --> 00:55:06,069
Thanks, Mike.
791
00:55:06,093 --> 00:55:08,864
My name is not Mike.
792
00:55:08,888 --> 00:55:10,848
I'll guess it.
793
00:55:15,186 --> 00:55:16,914
Just a little accident, doc.
794
00:55:16,938 --> 00:55:19,899
Somebody hit him.
795
00:55:19,941 --> 00:55:22,485
What'd he hit him with, a Sledgehammer?
796
00:55:28,407 --> 00:55:30,117
Looks a like a very dangerous concussion.
797
00:55:30,159 --> 00:55:33,662
It won't be fatal, will it?
798
00:55:33,704 --> 00:55:36,665
Listen, doc,
you've just got to see that this man lives.
799
00:55:36,707 --> 00:55:38,041
Do something!
800
00:55:38,084 --> 00:55:39,835
I've got to execute him tonight.
801
00:55:39,877 --> 00:55:42,504
Take him to the hospital
and put him on the table.
802
00:55:45,216 --> 00:55:47,801
He's certainly had a terrible shock.
803
00:55:49,345 --> 00:55:51,221
Be careful with him, boys.
804
00:55:54,976 --> 00:55:57,162
You shouldn't have hit that man so hard,
Jim.
805
00:55:57,186 --> 00:55:59,665
Don't worry about him, warden.
806
00:55:59,689 --> 00:56:01,399
He'll come out of it in a couple of hours.
807
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,651
I just tapped him.
808
00:56:04,694 --> 00:56:06,779
Well, anyway, I'm much obliged to you,
809
00:56:06,821 --> 00:56:11,033
and if there's any little favor I could
do for you, that is, within reason.
810
00:56:11,075 --> 00:56:14,745
Well, if it isn't asking too much,
811
00:56:14,787 --> 00:56:18,665
I would like to have that
dog of mine in here with me.
812
00:56:18,708 --> 00:56:21,419
Well, I guess we can
fix that up for you all right.
813
00:56:21,460 --> 00:56:25,960
<i>(unintelligible)</i>
814
00:56:26,215 --> 00:56:28,569
I thought I had that quartet broken up.
815
00:56:28,593 --> 00:56:31,989
But I no sooner get rid of one
than they send me another.
816
00:56:32,013 --> 00:56:34,992
You sure pulled me out of an awful mess.
817
00:56:35,016 --> 00:56:36,869
It was a pleasure, warden.
818
00:56:36,893 --> 00:56:40,163
I'd have been in a tough spot
if this thing had broken in the papers.
819
00:56:40,187 --> 00:56:42,541
Think of the scandal!
820
00:56:42,565 --> 00:56:45,276
I'll fix that dog thing up
for you in a day or two.
821
00:56:45,318 --> 00:56:48,029
<i>That brings me back again</i>
822
00:56:48,070 --> 00:56:50,572
<i>Down home where I remain</i>
823
00:56:50,615 --> 00:56:54,410
<i>Where my honey lamb am</i>
824
00:56:54,452 --> 00:56:57,079
<i>I will be right there with bells</i>
825
00:56:57,121 --> 00:56:59,498
<i>When that old conductor yells</i>
826
00:56:59,540 --> 00:57:02,251
<i>All aboard, all aboard</i>
827
00:57:02,293 --> 00:57:05,254
<i>All aboard for Alabam</i>
828
00:57:05,296 --> 00:57:09,796
<i>Alabam, Alabam</i>
829
00:57:16,933 --> 00:57:19,870
Couldn't be more comfortable at the Ritz.
830
00:57:19,894 --> 00:57:21,955
And don't you give me any trouble!
831
00:57:21,979 --> 00:57:24,398
I'm having trouble enough around here.
832
00:57:28,694 --> 00:57:31,530
I'll see you later, Number 4.
833
00:57:50,216 --> 00:57:52,718
Hey, Number 4!
834
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,077
He's calling you, new guy.
835
00:58:00,101 --> 00:58:01,954
You're Number 4.
836
00:58:01,978 --> 00:58:04,498
What are you in for, new guy?
837
00:58:04,522 --> 00:58:07,399
They were robbing a bank
and someone got killed,
838
00:58:07,441 --> 00:58:10,610
and they found a revolver in my pocket.
839
00:58:10,653 --> 00:58:13,197
You didn't have anything to do with it,
did you?
840
00:58:13,239 --> 00:58:14,531
Not a thing.
841
00:58:14,573 --> 00:58:16,241
That's fine.
842
00:58:16,283 --> 00:58:18,702
Now tell us another bedtime story.
843
00:58:21,038 --> 00:58:24,750
Hey, what does he look like, Number 3?
844
00:58:28,963 --> 00:58:33,402
Swing around there, buddy,
so I can get a good look at you.
845
00:58:33,426 --> 00:58:37,096
Don't be bashful, I'm not gonna bite you.
846
00:58:40,099 --> 00:58:44,413
Well, he ain't so bad to look at, I guess.
847
00:58:44,437 --> 00:58:48,458
He's got a face like those fellows
on the collar ads,
848
00:58:48,482 --> 00:58:52,611
and I ain't sure but what
he's got a dimple or two.
849
00:58:52,653 --> 00:58:57,153
Beautiful hair and kind of a mushy mouth.
850
00:58:57,366 --> 00:59:00,994
Looks like one of those lady killers,
if you ask me.
851
00:59:02,496 --> 00:59:06,996
The kind a silly dame is bound to fall for.
852
00:59:09,211 --> 00:59:11,713
What's your name, new guy?
853
00:59:15,217 --> 00:59:17,612
Moran, Bob Moran.
854
00:59:17,636 --> 00:59:19,512
Moran, huh?
855
00:59:19,555 --> 00:59:24,055
Say, ain't you the guy I been reading about
that stole Thunderbolt's girl?
856
00:59:24,852 --> 00:59:28,081
<i>Take me out to the ball game</i>
857
00:59:28,105 --> 00:59:30,982
<i>Take me out with the crowd</i>
858
00:59:31,025 --> 00:59:32,526
<i>Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack</i>
859
00:59:32,610 --> 00:59:37,110
It might interest you to know
the guy across the way from you
860
00:59:37,239 --> 00:59:40,992
is a party by the name of Thunderbolt.
861
00:59:41,035 --> 00:59:43,662
You two guys oughta know each other better.
862
00:59:43,704 --> 00:59:48,204
<i>One, two, three strikes, you're out,
at the old ball game</i>
863
00:59:49,418 --> 00:59:52,003
You put me in here, you framed me!
864
00:59:52,046 --> 00:59:54,465
You know I'm innocent, you're in on it!
865
00:59:54,507 --> 00:59:57,360
I'd like to get my hands on you just once!
866
00:59:57,384 --> 01:00:00,072
Just once, just once!
867
01:00:00,096 --> 01:00:02,741
<i>If I never get back,
let me root, root, root</i>
868
01:00:02,765 --> 01:00:04,618
You've got me wrong, kid.
869
01:00:04,642 --> 01:00:06,536
I've never done anything to you.
870
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:11,060
You're a dirty liar, you framed me,
you got me into this!
871
01:00:11,273 --> 01:00:14,776
I'm not afraid of you, I'm not scared!
872
01:00:14,819 --> 01:00:17,571
I'm not afraid to die!
873
01:00:28,499 --> 01:00:32,377
Over, lay over.
874
01:00:32,419 --> 01:00:35,380
Thatta boy, there.
875
01:00:37,508 --> 01:00:39,402
Say, Thunderbolt!
876
01:00:39,426 --> 01:00:43,865
If it's all the same to you, will you stop
teaching that dog to roll over and play dead?
877
01:00:43,889 --> 01:00:46,099
He's giving me the willies.
878
01:01:22,469 --> 01:01:24,489
Get the handcuff crew.
879
01:01:24,513 --> 01:01:27,576
Hey, up there on the upper deck,
front and center.
880
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:29,435
Yo!
881
01:01:38,736 --> 01:01:42,740
The district attorney wants to see you,
down in my office.
882
01:01:45,618 --> 01:01:46,827
What does he want?
883
01:01:46,869 --> 01:01:48,245
I don't know.
884
01:01:49,997 --> 01:01:53,583
Well,
I don't want him bothering me anymore.
885
01:01:53,626 --> 01:01:56,170
I got enough to worry about as it is.
886
01:01:56,212 --> 01:02:00,712
Well, you haven't got much longer
to worry about anything.
887
01:02:01,425 --> 01:02:04,571
So you've set the date for my kick-off,
have you?
888
01:02:04,595 --> 01:02:06,031
Yup.
889
01:02:06,055 --> 01:02:09,367
I've got two for the
week of January the 7th.
890
01:02:09,391 --> 01:02:11,995
Who's the other one?
891
01:02:12,019 --> 01:02:15,957
Moran goes on Monday
and you're set for Saturday.
892
01:02:15,981 --> 01:02:18,066
That's great.
893
01:02:20,152 --> 01:02:23,238
You know, I was glad that your lawyers
got you that temporary reprieve
894
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,490
so that you could be
around a little while longer.
895
01:02:25,532 --> 01:02:27,784
You don't take it so hard.
896
01:02:27,826 --> 01:02:30,370
But some of these other fellas...
897
01:02:30,412 --> 01:02:33,498
- Come on, get him out of there.
- Hey, warden!
898
01:02:37,419 --> 01:02:41,464
I may be seconds to death,
but you've got no right to make me listen
899
01:02:41,507 --> 01:02:45,362
to that same piece of music
every time that band plays here.
900
01:02:45,386 --> 01:02:47,447
It's cruel and inhuman.
901
01:02:47,471 --> 01:02:51,224
I come here for rest and recreation.
902
01:02:53,185 --> 01:02:55,789
You're just plain ungrateful, that's all.
903
01:02:55,813 --> 01:02:57,666
I'm sorry you ever came here.
904
01:02:57,690 --> 01:03:00,192
So am I!
905
01:03:03,654 --> 01:03:06,239
Come on, bring him out.
906
01:03:49,783 --> 01:03:51,993
Sit down, Jim.
907
01:03:55,748 --> 01:03:57,458
How are you, McKay?
908
01:03:57,499 --> 01:03:59,751
Let's get down to cases, Jim.
909
01:03:59,793 --> 01:04:02,128
You know me and you
know the kind of a man I am.
910
01:04:02,171 --> 01:04:03,255
Yeah.
911
01:04:03,297 --> 01:04:06,151
I don't want to send an
innocent man to his death.
912
01:04:06,175 --> 01:04:10,030
As a matter of fact, I'd fight just as hard
to get an innocent man out of here
913
01:04:10,054 --> 01:04:12,490
as I would fight to put
a guilty man in here.
914
01:04:12,514 --> 01:04:14,075
All right, I'll vote for you.
915
01:04:14,099 --> 01:04:16,578
What are you running for?
916
01:04:16,602 --> 01:04:18,812
This is a serious matter, Jim.
917
01:04:18,854 --> 01:04:20,749
It'll pay you to be serious about it.
918
01:04:20,773 --> 01:04:23,984
I may be helping to snuff out the life
of an innocent man.
919
01:04:24,026 --> 01:04:26,611
You mean you're sorry for railroading me?
920
01:04:26,653 --> 01:04:29,947
Several people have been to see me
about Bob Moran.
921
01:04:29,990 --> 01:04:34,490
He's the man you were going to kill
the night you were caught.
922
01:04:35,621 --> 01:04:37,748
I was going to kill?
923
01:04:37,790 --> 01:04:40,250
You got me mixed up with somebody.
924
01:04:40,292 --> 01:04:43,920
I make it a point never to kill any Morans.
925
01:04:45,756 --> 01:04:47,984
Then why did you go
to his apartment that night?
926
01:04:48,008 --> 01:04:49,819
I'll bite, why did I?
927
01:04:49,843 --> 01:04:52,530
You tell me, you know everything.
928
01:04:52,554 --> 01:04:54,449
That kind of an attitude won't help you...
929
01:04:54,473 --> 01:04:56,826
I'm not looking for help.
930
01:04:56,850 --> 01:04:59,978
When I want your help, I'll let you know.
931
01:05:27,005 --> 01:05:29,007
Do you know this lady?
932
01:05:30,717 --> 01:05:33,863
No, who is she?
933
01:05:33,887 --> 01:05:36,931
Bob Moran is my son.
934
01:05:40,769 --> 01:05:42,979
He's my only child.
935
01:05:46,608 --> 01:05:51,108
I came down here to ask you
to help me to save him.
936
01:05:56,243 --> 01:06:00,080
Well, I guess it's no use, is it?
937
01:06:00,122 --> 01:06:03,667
What's the idea of pulling
this sob stuff on me?
938
01:06:03,709 --> 01:06:05,794
Just a minute.
939
01:06:12,551 --> 01:06:15,738
Oh, Mary.
940
01:06:15,762 --> 01:06:17,221
Oh!
941
01:06:21,310 --> 01:06:23,937
Jim, you're not going
through with this, are you?
942
01:06:23,979 --> 01:06:26,940
What are you talking about?
943
01:06:27,024 --> 01:06:28,316
I know you, Jim.
944
01:06:28,358 --> 01:06:31,903
You're a killer, but you were always fair.
945
01:06:31,945 --> 01:06:33,655
You were never mean.
946
01:06:33,697 --> 01:06:35,699
You were never cruel.
947
01:06:35,741 --> 01:06:38,452
Have I got to listen
to all this junk, warden?
948
01:06:38,494 --> 01:06:40,871
No, not if you don't want to.
949
01:06:40,913 --> 01:06:42,873
You listen to me, Jim.
950
01:06:42,915 --> 01:06:45,792
You had Bob framed for that killing.
951
01:06:45,834 --> 01:06:48,044
You said you would get him and you did.
952
01:06:48,086 --> 01:06:50,254
What's the idea?
953
01:06:50,297 --> 01:06:53,383
What are you trying
to frame up on me here?
954
01:07:00,057 --> 01:07:04,037
I guess that'll be all, warden.
955
01:07:04,061 --> 01:07:05,937
Oh, Mary.
956
01:07:13,946 --> 01:07:17,199
Jim, those two women need that boy.
957
01:07:17,241 --> 01:07:21,741
If there's anything you can say
that will help them, say it now.
958
01:07:24,122 --> 01:07:26,624
Home, James.
959
01:07:39,805 --> 01:07:44,244
I don't see how I can
win him off for you folks.
960
01:07:44,268 --> 01:07:48,164
You mean,
you mean you won't reopen the case?
961
01:07:48,188 --> 01:07:50,416
There's nothing I can do.
962
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:52,608
The only chance we had
was for him to confess.
963
01:07:52,651 --> 01:07:54,277
But it was clear from his attitude.
964
01:07:54,319 --> 01:07:57,989
- Surely you could see...
- Attitudes don't count, I'm sorry.
965
01:07:58,031 --> 01:08:00,450
We need evidence.
966
01:08:28,478 --> 01:08:30,813
All right, lock him up!
967
01:08:58,050 --> 01:09:00,486
I guess you'd like to get close to Moran,
wouldn't you?
968
01:09:00,510 --> 01:09:02,155
Well, you're not going to!
969
01:09:02,179 --> 01:09:03,865
Why not?
970
01:09:03,889 --> 01:09:05,098
I wouldn't hurt him.
971
01:09:05,140 --> 01:09:06,909
Not much, you wouldn't.
972
01:09:06,933 --> 01:09:08,703
I can't quite get your angle.
973
01:09:08,727 --> 01:09:11,080
Aren't you satisfied he's
going to be executed?
974
01:09:11,104 --> 01:09:12,540
What more do you want?
975
01:09:12,564 --> 01:09:15,650
I don't settle my debts that way.
976
01:09:15,692 --> 01:09:18,277
I'm going to get him myself.
977
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:21,197
If you ever get any closer to him
than you are right now,
978
01:09:21,239 --> 01:09:23,866
it'll be over my dead body!
979
01:10:03,031 --> 01:10:07,531
Dearly beloved, we are gathered together
here in sight of God
980
01:10:08,370 --> 01:10:12,870
and in the face of this company to join together
this man and this woman in holy matrimony,
981
01:10:16,253 --> 01:10:20,753
which is an honorable estate
and is not by any to be entered into
982
01:10:20,966 --> 01:10:25,466
unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently.
983
01:10:26,179 --> 01:10:30,679
Into this holy estate, these two
persons present come now to be joined.
984
01:10:31,309 --> 01:10:35,809
If any man can show just cause why
they may not lawfully be joined together,
985
01:10:36,606 --> 01:10:41,106
let him now speak or else hereafter
forever hold his peace.
986
01:10:43,321 --> 01:10:46,907
Wilt thou have this woman
to be thy wedded wife?
987
01:10:46,950 --> 01:10:51,450
Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor
and keep her in sickness and in health,
988
01:10:53,582 --> 01:10:58,082
and forsaking all others, keep thee only
unto her so long as you both shall live?
989
01:11:02,174 --> 01:11:03,651
I Will.
990
01:11:03,675 --> 01:11:06,946
Wilt thou have this man
to be thy wedded husband?
991
01:11:06,970 --> 01:11:11,470
Wilt thou obey him and serve him, love,
honor, and keep him in sickness and in health,
992
01:11:14,102 --> 01:11:18,602
and forsaking all others, keep thee only
unto him so long as you both shall live?
993
01:11:22,611 --> 01:11:24,112
I Will.
994
01:11:24,154 --> 01:11:28,032
Who giveth this woman
to be married to this man?
995
01:11:29,868 --> 01:11:31,619
I do.
996
01:11:34,372 --> 01:11:37,041
Repeat after me.
997
01:11:37,083 --> 01:11:41,583
- With this ring I thee wed.
- With this ring I thee wed.
998
01:11:42,923 --> 01:11:47,423
- And with all my worldly goods, I thee endow.
- And with all my worldly goods, I thee endow.
999
01:11:53,016 --> 01:11:57,516
Those whom God hath joined together,
let no man put asunder.
1000
01:11:58,271 --> 01:12:02,441
I now pronounce you man and wife.
1001
01:12:02,484 --> 01:12:04,235
Oh, my poor children.
1002
01:12:04,277 --> 01:12:06,862
Oh, my poor children!
1003
01:12:06,905 --> 01:12:10,116
I'm sorry but your time is up.
1004
01:12:12,118 --> 01:12:13,744
You'll have to go now, Mrs. Moran.
1005
01:12:13,787 --> 01:12:15,246
Oh, my boy!
1006
01:12:15,288 --> 01:12:17,790
Just a minute, warden.
1007
01:12:19,835 --> 01:12:24,335
Let me be the first
to give them a wedding present.
1008
01:12:24,923 --> 01:12:28,444
Moran doesn't belong in here.
1009
01:12:28,468 --> 01:12:30,947
They were right.
1010
01:12:30,971 --> 01:12:33,765
I had him framed.
1011
01:12:39,729 --> 01:12:42,208
Jim.
1012
01:12:42,232 --> 01:12:44,234
You keep out of this.
1013
01:12:44,276 --> 01:12:48,776
I'm talking to the warden,
and get away from me
1014
01:12:49,239 --> 01:12:52,659
before I change my mind.
1015
01:12:52,701 --> 01:12:55,245
What did he say, dear?
What did he say?
1016
01:12:55,287 --> 01:12:58,581
He means that Bob is going to be free now.
1017
01:13:05,881 --> 01:13:08,174
You're to blame for this!
1018
01:13:08,216 --> 01:13:11,070
I've been in this racket now for 30 years
1019
01:13:11,094 --> 01:13:14,198
and this is the first time
I ever saw anything like this happen.
1020
01:13:14,222 --> 01:13:17,577
Four hours before an execution!
1021
01:13:17,601 --> 01:13:21,539
Before anything else happens, I'm going
to call up the governor and get a stay.
1022
01:13:21,563 --> 01:13:24,524
Maybe you better take my statement first.
1023
01:13:24,566 --> 01:13:26,234
I know what to do!
1024
01:13:26,276 --> 01:13:28,486
I've been running a jail all my life.
1025
01:13:28,528 --> 01:13:32,240
Don't you try to teach me my business.
1026
01:13:32,282 --> 01:13:35,535
Come on, you two,
you've just got to go now.
1027
01:13:35,577 --> 01:13:37,704
You'll have to leave now, madam.
1028
01:13:40,624 --> 01:13:42,292
I knew you'd come through, Jim.
1029
01:13:42,334 --> 01:13:44,252
Oh, leave me alone.
1030
01:13:44,294 --> 01:13:46,379
Oh, thank you.
1031
01:13:46,421 --> 01:13:49,006
Thank you, Mr. Thunderbolt.
1032
01:14:04,564 --> 01:14:06,649
Go on, close it.
1033
01:14:23,166 --> 01:14:25,251
You've done a wonderful thing, Jim.
1034
01:14:27,462 --> 01:14:30,882
Well, I've been here a long time now
1035
01:14:30,924 --> 01:14:35,424
and I'm shuffling off
at the end of the week.
1036
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:40,220
I've had a lot of time
to think things over.
1037
01:14:50,193 --> 01:14:52,195
Better lie down, Bob.
1038
01:14:52,237 --> 01:14:55,114
Try and get some sleep.
1039
01:14:55,156 --> 01:14:56,782
I wanna speak to him.
1040
01:14:56,825 --> 01:14:58,785
I wanna thank him.
1041
01:14:58,827 --> 01:15:02,080
I wanna shake his hand.
1042
01:15:02,122 --> 01:15:06,622
We'll shake hands on Saturday when I go.
1043
01:15:10,171 --> 01:15:12,381
Hey, Thunderbolt!
1044
01:15:12,424 --> 01:15:15,069
What's the idea, you going nuts?
1045
01:15:15,093 --> 01:15:18,012
I thought you didn't like that guy!
1046
01:15:25,937 --> 01:15:28,791
A little music, professor.
1047
01:15:28,815 --> 01:15:33,315
<i>Summertime, summertime</i>
1048
01:15:33,695 --> 01:15:38,195
<i>We will be together in sunny weather</i>
1049
01:15:38,366 --> 01:15:42,703
<i>Down the lane once again</i>
1050
01:15:42,746 --> 01:15:46,875
<i>Sweetheart, you and I!</i>
1051
01:15:46,916 --> 01:15:51,211
<i>Summertime, summertime</i>
1052
01:15:51,254 --> 01:15:55,754
<i>Wedding bells will chime</i>
1053
01:15:56,426 --> 01:15:59,196
<i>All will be sunny</i>
1054
01:15:59,220 --> 01:16:01,513
<i>Peaches, cream, and honey</i>
1055
01:16:01,556 --> 01:16:06,056
<i>In the summertime</i>
1056
01:16:10,690 --> 01:16:12,983
Aw, now don't argue with me.
1057
01:16:13,026 --> 01:16:17,526
I just left Thunderbolt playing checkers
with Moran and I know what I'm talking about.
1058
01:16:18,239 --> 01:16:20,407
He had to get Moran reprieved.
1059
01:16:20,450 --> 01:16:24,162
He's always had his mind set on
bumping off this cluck all by his self
1060
01:16:24,204 --> 01:16:27,999
and this is the only way he could do it.
1061
01:16:28,041 --> 01:16:31,252
You guys give me a pain.
1062
01:16:31,294 --> 01:16:33,713
No imagination.
1063
01:16:36,091 --> 01:16:40,591
He's gonna wait until they opens up the
door to take him for the last walk, see?
1064
01:16:42,472 --> 01:16:46,869
Then he's gonna go over to say goodbye
to the boyfriend.
1065
01:16:46,893 --> 01:16:48,871
Now, get me.
1066
01:16:48,895 --> 01:16:51,791
I'm Thunderbolt and you're the kid, see?
1067
01:16:51,815 --> 01:16:55,544
They opens up the cell door
and starts me for the walk.
1068
01:16:55,568 --> 01:17:00,068
Then I goes over to say goodbye
to the boyfriend.
1069
01:17:01,116 --> 01:17:03,952
I sticks out the left hand.
1070
01:17:03,993 --> 01:17:05,285
See, boys?
1071
01:17:05,328 --> 01:17:09,540
This is the minute
that Thunderbolt's been waiting for.
1072
01:17:09,582 --> 01:17:13,961
Well, "80 long, pal," I says.
1073
01:17:14,003 --> 01:17:18,503
And then socko right through the bar.
1074
01:17:32,272 --> 01:17:33,690
All right.
1075
01:17:36,359 --> 01:17:39,195
Hey, wait a minute.
1076
01:17:39,237 --> 01:17:42,156
This invitation is for
last week's execution.
1077
01:17:42,198 --> 01:17:46,698
What do you think we do here,
give out rain checks?
1078
01:17:46,870 --> 01:17:48,162
Out.
1079
01:17:51,624 --> 01:17:53,208
What a heart.
1080
01:17:53,251 --> 01:17:55,294
Good for a hundred years.
1081
01:17:57,380 --> 01:17:59,632
It oughta be.
1082
01:17:59,674 --> 01:18:02,259
It's only been jilted once.
1083
01:18:04,345 --> 01:18:07,848
She's Mrs. Moran now.
1084
01:18:22,989 --> 01:18:25,783
Hey, gimme a light, will you, Timothy?
1085
01:18:33,333 --> 01:18:34,500
What's the matter, Moran?
1086
01:18:34,542 --> 01:18:39,042
Aren't you happy
now that you're getting out of here?
1087
01:18:39,088 --> 01:18:40,798
I'm not worried about myself.
1088
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:43,652
I'm getting out in a couple of weeks
the warden said.
1089
01:18:43,676 --> 01:18:45,905
I'm worried about you.
1090
01:18:45,929 --> 01:18:48,640
Don't you worry about me.
1091
01:18:53,144 --> 01:18:56,457
Hey, Timothy, these clothes don't fit me.
1092
01:18:56,481 --> 01:18:58,083
Take a squint at them.
1093
01:18:58,107 --> 01:19:00,609
How do you think I'm going to look?
1094
01:19:00,652 --> 01:19:03,154
What do you care how you're going to look?
1095
01:19:03,196 --> 01:19:06,032
You're not going anywhere.
1096
01:19:06,074 --> 01:19:09,452
And my name is not Timothy!
1097
01:19:09,494 --> 01:19:11,078
Well, don't get sore about it.
1098
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:13,872
I'll guess it before I'm through.
1099
01:19:19,087 --> 01:19:22,882
Come on, boy, we got
a couple of minutes more to play.
1100
01:20:14,017 --> 01:20:18,517
Whereas... give me your attention, Jim.
1101
01:20:18,563 --> 01:20:21,065
Whereas at a trial time on the...
1102
01:20:23,568 --> 01:20:27,280
You don't need to read
that death warrant to me, warden.
1103
01:20:27,322 --> 01:20:30,450
I know it backwards.
1104
01:20:30,491 --> 01:20:32,261
- I beg your pardon...
- Don't you bother me now
1105
01:20:32,285 --> 01:20:34,662
when I've got my mind
full of a million details.
1106
01:20:34,704 --> 01:20:36,414
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir, no, sir!
1107
01:20:36,456 --> 01:20:38,207
Yes, sir.
1108
01:20:40,501 --> 01:20:42,669
I knew I'd forgotten something.
1109
01:20:42,712 --> 01:20:43,921
What do you want for lunch?
1110
01:20:43,963 --> 01:20:45,441
You can have anything you want, you know.
1111
01:20:45,465 --> 01:20:47,276
All we've got to do is to bring it in.
1112
01:20:47,300 --> 01:20:49,802
Lunch, what time is it?
1113
01:20:49,844 --> 01:20:51,238
Three minutes after eleven.
1114
01:20:51,262 --> 01:20:53,032
What time is the big show?
1115
01:20:53,056 --> 01:20:55,159
11:20.
1116
01:20:55,183 --> 01:20:59,496
So you're going to give
me 17 minutes to eat it, huh?
1117
01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:03,208
Well, I'm not going to bolt
my food down in a hurry.
1118
01:21:03,232 --> 01:21:07,732
I'd have indigestion all afternoon.
1119
01:21:07,820 --> 01:21:09,780
I'll tell you what I would like to have,
warden.
1120
01:21:09,822 --> 01:21:12,282
Anything within reason, Jim.
1121
01:21:12,325 --> 01:21:14,994
- I'd like to have a good shot of...
- Nothing doing.
1122
01:21:15,036 --> 01:21:18,456
The only stuff we've got is in the hospital
and you've got to be sick to get it.
1123
01:21:18,498 --> 01:21:19,582
Well, I'm sick.
1124
01:21:19,624 --> 01:21:21,667
Who's got a better right to be?
1125
01:21:21,709 --> 01:21:23,794
You are sick, aren't you?
1126
01:21:23,836 --> 01:21:26,046
On the level, you don't feel good, do you?
1127
01:21:26,089 --> 01:21:27,882
I feel terrible.
1128
01:21:27,924 --> 01:21:30,527
I feel like I'm going to die.
1129
01:21:30,551 --> 01:21:34,198
Hey, guys, Thunderbolt
says he don't feel so good!
1130
01:21:34,222 --> 01:21:36,724
He feels like he's gonna die!
1131
01:21:42,772 --> 01:21:46,275
Well, I'll see what I can do about
getting you a little something.
1132
01:21:51,656 --> 01:21:53,157
How do you feel, Jim?
1133
01:21:53,199 --> 01:21:54,325
Same as ever.
1134
01:21:54,367 --> 01:21:56,452
The same as ever?
1135
01:21:56,494 --> 01:21:57,953
Yup.
1136
01:21:57,995 --> 01:22:00,497
You and me can't do any business.
1137
01:22:00,540 --> 01:22:04,669
I've lived all my life
without what you stand for
1138
01:22:04,710 --> 01:22:08,213
and I guess I'll have to die the same way.
1139
01:22:08,256 --> 01:22:12,756
You don't mind my sticking around
in case you change your mind?
1140
01:22:13,136 --> 01:22:15,888
Make yourself right at home.
1141
01:22:15,930 --> 01:22:18,033
Hey, Thunderbolt.
1142
01:22:18,057 --> 01:22:22,371
What do you want us to sing
when you're going to your dance?
1143
01:22:22,395 --> 01:22:26,625
I don't know, what have you got?
1144
01:22:26,649 --> 01:22:29,360
Well, how about Brokenhearted?
1145
01:22:29,402 --> 01:22:31,987
That oughta fit you like a glove.
1146
01:22:32,029 --> 01:22:36,158
<i>There she is, my old gal</i>
1147
01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:40,700
<i>There he is, my old pal</i>
1148
01:22:40,913 --> 01:22:45,413
<i>And here am I, brokenhearted</i>
1149
01:22:48,129 --> 01:22:50,840
How do you like that?
1150
01:22:50,882 --> 01:22:53,050
That's not so bad.
1151
01:22:55,219 --> 01:22:57,763
How do you like it, Moran?
1152
01:23:10,276 --> 01:23:12,236
Here you are.
1153
01:23:24,081 --> 01:23:26,208
You better take this, warden.
1154
01:23:26,250 --> 01:23:28,835
You need it worse than I do.
1155
01:23:36,886 --> 01:23:39,323
I certainly did need it.
1156
01:23:39,347 --> 01:23:41,783
You ought to be glad
you haven't got my job.
1157
01:23:41,807 --> 01:23:44,601
You have no idea what I go through.
1158
01:23:57,949 --> 01:23:59,617
Don't you worry, boy.
1159
01:23:59,659 --> 01:24:02,536
It's me that's going, not you.
1160
01:24:02,578 --> 01:24:05,122
- Everything all set?
- Yup!
1161
01:24:12,797 --> 01:24:14,673
Let's go.
1162
01:24:24,684 --> 01:24:26,703
So long, Shorty.
1163
01:24:26,727 --> 01:24:27,829
See you soon.
1164
01:24:27,853 --> 01:24:28,997
Thanks, Thunderbolt.
1165
01:24:29,021 --> 01:24:30,374
Send us a postcard.
1166
01:24:30,398 --> 01:24:34,151
Sure, "X marks my room,
wish you were here."
1167
01:24:34,193 --> 01:24:36,820
Jim, aren't you gonna say goodbye to me?
1168
01:24:36,862 --> 01:24:39,155
Me not say goodbye to you?
1169
01:24:39,198 --> 01:24:41,575
I'll be back in a minute, Moran.
1170
01:24:41,617 --> 01:24:44,286
I'm saving you for the last.
1171
01:24:44,328 --> 01:24:48,165
<i>There she is, my old gal</i>
1172
01:24:48,207 --> 01:24:51,835
<i>There he is, my old pal</i>
1173
01:24:51,877 --> 01:24:56,377
<i>And here am I, brokenhearted</i>
1174
01:25:00,303 --> 01:25:04,616
<i>Mine in May, his in June</i>
1175
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:08,495
<i>She forgot mighty soon</i>
1176
01:25:08,519 --> 01:25:12,291
<i>And here am I, right here</i>
1177
01:25:12,315 --> 01:25:16,068
<i>Brokenhearted</i>
1178
01:25:16,152 --> 01:25:20,614
<i>The last time that we said goodbye</i>
1179
01:25:20,656 --> 01:25:24,534
<i>I knew that she was through</i>
1180
01:25:24,577 --> 01:25:29,077
<i>It's bad enough that I lost her</i>
1181
01:25:29,206 --> 01:25:33,706
<i>I had to lose him too</i>
1182
01:25:33,961 --> 01:25:38,423
<i>There they go, feel their joy</i>
1183
01:25:38,466 --> 01:25:42,779
<i>Happy girl, lucky boy</i>
1184
01:25:42,803 --> 01:25:47,303
<i>And here am I</i>
1185
01:25:47,642 --> 01:25:52,142
<i>Brokenhearted</i>
1186
01:25:59,528 --> 01:26:02,531
So long, pal.
1187
01:26:02,573 --> 01:26:06,243
I wish I could help you now, Jim,
the way you helped me.
1188
01:26:13,876 --> 01:26:18,005
Funny, sizing us two up,
1189
01:26:18,047 --> 01:26:22,547
nobody would ever think
you were the better man.
1190
01:26:23,427 --> 01:26:25,572
You're the better man, Jim.
1191
01:26:25,596 --> 01:26:28,116
You've taught me a let
these last couple of days.
1192
01:26:28,140 --> 01:26:32,640
You'll be seeing Ritzie soon,
won't you, Moran?
1193
01:26:36,315 --> 01:26:40,815
She's a great little girl, isn't she?
1194
01:26:41,153 --> 01:26:45,653
You were pretty lucky
to take her away from me, weren't you?
1195
01:26:46,617 --> 01:26:49,745
I didn't mean to tell you, Jim,
but I guess I will.
1196
01:26:49,787 --> 01:26:51,997
Somehow I think you ought to know.
1197
01:26:52,039 --> 01:26:53,832
I oughta know what?
1198
01:26:53,874 --> 01:26:56,585
I didn't take her away from you, Jim.
1199
01:26:56,627 --> 01:26:59,504
It was you that took her away from me.
1200
01:27:04,510 --> 01:27:07,155
I took her away from you?
1201
01:27:07,179 --> 01:27:11,679
We've always been sweethearts,
since we were kids, and then she met you.
1202
01:27:12,601 --> 01:27:16,498
I didn't amount to much
and she thought you were wonderful.
1203
01:27:16,522 --> 01:27:21,022
She never told me anything about that.
1204
01:27:23,195 --> 01:27:26,198
I guess I was nothing to brag about.
1205
01:27:32,163 --> 01:27:36,663
I always did have a peculiar habit of
taking things that didn't belong to me.
1206
01:27:40,004 --> 01:27:42,589
That's why I'm here.
1207
01:27:53,225 --> 01:27:57,725
You're kinda crazy about her, aren't you?
1208
01:27:57,855 --> 01:28:01,042
I love her, Jim.
1209
01:28:01,066 --> 01:28:05,566
Well, I guess I do too.
1210
01:28:05,696 --> 01:28:08,365
I still do.
1211
01:28:20,169 --> 01:28:21,795
Good luck, kid.
1212
01:28:21,837 --> 01:28:24,089
Good luck to you both.
1213
01:28:24,131 --> 01:28:27,134
Give her my love.
1214
01:28:27,176 --> 01:28:30,304
And take care of her, whatever you do.
1215
01:28:54,912 --> 01:28:59,412
Well, chaplain,
I might as well give you a break too.
1216
01:28:59,875 --> 01:29:01,918
Come on.
1217
01:29:27,736 --> 01:29:30,029
So long, old timer.
1218
01:29:30,072 --> 01:29:33,241
And don't take any wooden biscuits.
1219
01:29:39,039 --> 01:29:41,124
Hey, Dinty.
1220
01:29:41,166 --> 01:29:45,420
Come here, will ya,
and give me one more light?
1221
01:30:01,770 --> 01:30:04,791
Here, Dinty, I guess I'll quit smoking.
1222
01:30:04,815 --> 01:30:08,193
Thanks, and my name isn't Dinty.
1223
01:30:08,235 --> 01:30:12,322
And before you go, I want you to know
that my name is Aloysius
1224
01:30:12,364 --> 01:30:14,324
and you didn't guess it.
1225
01:30:16,076 --> 01:30:18,995
- Your name is what?
- Aloysius.
1226
01:30:22,458 --> 01:30:24,751
What did you say your name was?
1227
01:30:24,793 --> 01:30:27,754
Aloysius and you didn't guess it.
1228
01:30:31,342 --> 01:30:33,987
Who would've guessed it?
1229
01:30:34,011 --> 01:30:35,804
<i>No...</i>
1230
01:30:46,857 --> 01:30:48,984

Thunderbolt Jim Lang (George Bancroft), wanted on robbery and murder charges, ventures out with his girl, "Ritzy" (Fay Wray), to a Harlem nightclub, where she informs him that she is going straight. During a raid on the club, Thunderbolt escapes. His gang shadows Ritzy and reports that she is living with Mrs. Moran (Eugenie Besserer), whose son, Bob (Richard Arlen), a bank clerk, is in love with Ritzy. Fearing for Bob's safety, Ritzy engineers a police trap for Thunderbolt; he escapes but is later captured, tried, and sentenced to be executed at Sing Sing. From the death house, he successfully plots to frame Bob in a bank robbery and killing. Bob is placed in the facing cell, and guards frustrate Thunderbolt's attempts to get to his rival. When Ritzy marries Bob in the death house, Thunderbolt confesses his part in Bob's conviction. He plots to kill the boy on the night of his execution, but instead at the last minute his hand falls on Bob's shoulder in a gesture of friendship.

Eleven o'clock.

00:01:58,075 --> 00:02:00,035
I didn't know it was so late.
3
00:02:06,584 --> 00:02:07,751
Goodnight.
4
00:02:07,793 --> 00:02:09,503
Goodnight, dear.
5
00:02:19,180 --> 00:02:21,015
Oh, Bob!
6
00:02:24,185 --> 00:02:26,103
You've got my gloves.
7
00:02:27,688 --> 00:02:30,899
That's funny, there's a pair of gloves
in my pocket.

00:02:30,941 --> 00:02:32,776
Are these yours?
9
00:02:33,778 --> 00:02:36,030
Let me put them on for you.
10
00:02:41,410 --> 00:02:43,829
Bob, I really must go now.
11
00:02:47,208 --> 00:02:48,709
Goodnight.
12
00:02:48,751 --> 00:02:53,251
And, honey, you will be on time
tomorrow night, won't you?
13
00:02:53,297 --> 00:02:55,859
You were late tonight
and I was worried.
14
00:02:55,883 --> 00:02:58,510
I'll try awfully hard, Bob.
15
00:03:16,862 --> 00:03:19,865
Just drive down the street a bit,
I'll tell you where to go later.
16
00:03:25,162 --> 00:03:26,830
I'll tell you where to go right now.
17
00:03:26,872 --> 00:03:28,832
Police headquarters.
18
00:03:47,727 --> 00:03:49,770
Go on, get up there.
19
00:03:56,026 --> 00:03:58,570
Well, well, well, if it isn't Ritzie.
20
00:03:58,612 --> 00:04:01,281
This is indeed an honor and a pleasure.
21
00:04:03,868 --> 00:04:06,370
It takes so little to give some
people pleasure, doesn't it?
22
00:04:06,412 --> 00:04:08,247
Where's Thunderbolt?
23
00:04:08,289 --> 00:04:10,541
- Who?
- Don't try any of that stuff on me.
24
00:04:10,583 --> 00:04:12,293
You know who I mean.
25
00:04:12,334 --> 00:04:13,974
In case your memory
has suddenly left you,
26
00:04:14,003 --> 00:04:17,149
let me remind you of Jim Lang,
sometimes called Jim Carson,
27
00:04:17,173 --> 00:04:20,277
sometimes called... well, sometimes
called anything in the world
28
00:04:20,301 --> 00:04:22,678
but always known as Thunderbolt.
29
00:04:26,557 --> 00:04:29,619
I suppose that you've never even heard
of the Hellinger case.
30
00:04:29,643 --> 00:04:32,228
Or the million-dollar
St. Louis Terminal job.
31
00:04:32,313 --> 00:04:36,813
Or the time that he held up
the Iroquois Bank single-handed.
32
00:04:36,984 --> 00:04:40,404
He's wanted right now by nine states
for bank robbery,
33
00:04:40,446 --> 00:04:44,946
and there's two more that'd like to
talk to him on a little matter of murder.
34
00:04:45,242 --> 00:04:47,953
Now maybe you can remember who he is.
35
00:04:49,371 --> 00:04:52,165
Quit your stalling. Where is he?
36
00:04:52,208 --> 00:04:54,418
I don't know what you're talking about.
37
00:04:54,460 --> 00:04:58,297
Don't you try to Ritz me, Ritzie.
38
00:05:02,384 --> 00:05:04,196
Where did you see him last?
39
00:05:04,220 --> 00:05:05,655
I don't remember.
40
00:05:05,679 --> 00:05:07,449
Oh, you won't talk, eh?
41
00:05:07,473 --> 00:05:09,534
Well, maybe you can tell me this.
42
00:05:09,558 --> 00:05:13,538
Who was the other half of the bench picnic
in the park tonight?
43
00:05:13,562 --> 00:05:15,730
Bench picnic?
44
00:05:15,773 --> 00:05:18,525
I was in the park tonight
but I was alone.
45
00:05:18,567 --> 00:05:20,735
Your men must be seeing double, Inspector.
46
00:05:20,778 --> 00:05:24,114
Oh, my men were seeing double,
were they?
47
00:05:26,575 --> 00:05:29,828
Well, here's the other half
of what they saw.
48
00:05:38,671 --> 00:05:40,190
I've had enough of this stalling.
49
00:05:40,214 --> 00:05:43,235
You two have been meeting night after night
for months and I know it.
50
00:05:43,259 --> 00:05:44,986
Well, supposing we have been meeting.
51
00:05:45,010 --> 00:05:46,655
Being in love is no crime yet.
52
00:05:46,679 --> 00:05:48,490
Maybe not,
but being in love with her
53
00:05:48,514 --> 00:05:51,642
is apt to cause you a lot of trouble,
young fellow.
54
00:05:53,561 --> 00:05:55,437
I wonder if you know
that she is the girlfriend
55
00:05:55,479 --> 00:05:58,190
of the most notorious criminal
this state has ever known.
56
00:05:58,232 --> 00:05:59,918
She's been a member of his gang
for two years,
57
00:05:59,942 --> 00:06:01,360
ever since she met him.
58
00:06:01,402 --> 00:06:02,820
I don't know
a woman in this city
59
00:06:02,862 --> 00:06:05,281
that knows more about him
and his affairs than she does.
60
00:06:05,322 --> 00:06:07,824
I know all about that.
That's all over now.
61
00:06:07,867 --> 00:06:09,761
- Where's Thunderbolt?
- I don't know and I don't care.
62
00:06:09,785 --> 00:06:12,496
- What do you do for a living?
- I work at a bank.
63
00:06:13,622 --> 00:06:17,917
How would you like to lose your job
and maybe work in a penitentiary?
64
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,062
That's where you're headed...
65
00:06:19,086 --> 00:06:21,129
You let him alone.
66
00:06:22,256 --> 00:06:23,483
He's on the level.
67
00:06:23,507 --> 00:06:25,443
He's got nothing to do with that crowd.
68
00:06:25,467 --> 00:06:28,613
Listen, Ritzie, you're a smart girl
and you can save yourself a lot of trouble
69
00:06:28,637 --> 00:06:30,740
by giving us a line on Thunderbolt.
70
00:06:30,764 --> 00:06:33,201
You know we can make it pretty hot for you.
71
00:06:33,225 --> 00:06:35,537
You've got nothing on me
and you know it.
72
00:06:35,561 --> 00:06:38,355
If you had,
you'd have locked me up long ago.
73
00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:40,858
I'm through with that mob for good.
74
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:45,400
Whatever mistakes I've made,
I've paid for in my own way.
75
00:06:47,865 --> 00:06:48,907
What do you say, Chief?
76
00:06:48,949 --> 00:06:51,034
Shall I take 'em down and book 'em?
77
00:06:51,076 --> 00:06:52,577
Never mind.
78
00:06:52,620 --> 00:06:55,456
You can go now.
79
00:06:55,497 --> 00:06:57,540
Let her go.
80
00:07:08,427 --> 00:07:10,429
Goodnight, Inspector.
81
00:07:11,555 --> 00:07:13,223
And thank you.
82
00:07:19,939 --> 00:07:22,358
Don't let that dame out of your sight.
83
00:07:22,399 --> 00:07:26,361
Thunderbolt will go through an iron wall
to see her.
84
00:07:26,403 --> 00:07:29,114
And we want to be there
when they meet.
85
00:07:29,156 --> 00:07:31,616
There's always the chance
of nabbing him
86
00:07:31,659 --> 00:07:34,244
as long as she's out.
87
00:08:05,234 --> 00:08:08,320
Good evening, Mr. Th-Th-Thunderbolt.
88
00:08:08,362 --> 00:08:09,946
I got your phone call.
89
00:08:09,989 --> 00:08:13,409
- The the best in the house.
- All right, Oscar.
90
00:08:16,745 --> 00:08:18,788
Check your hat, sir?
91
00:08:19,957 --> 00:08:21,458
No thanks.
92
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:24,377
I never know
when I'm going to leave in a hurry.
93
00:08:25,587 --> 00:08:28,506
I always like to have my hat be with me.
94
00:08:30,801 --> 00:08:34,280
Say, boy, am I seeing right?
95
00:08:34,304 --> 00:08:35,907
Is that Thunderbolt?
96
00:08:35,931 --> 00:08:38,159
Does that mean
there's gonna be any trouble?
97
00:08:38,183 --> 00:08:39,244
Maybe not.
98
00:08:39,268 --> 00:08:41,770
I'm keeping one foot (unintelligible).
99
00:09:12,885 --> 00:09:16,406
Say, (unintelligible) Thunderbolt?
100
00:09:16,430 --> 00:09:20,930
He hits you with that big right soupbone
and just ruins you,
101
00:09:21,060 --> 00:09:23,520
all in one little smackeroo.
102
00:09:23,604 --> 00:09:25,522
That's why they call him Thunderbolt.
103
00:09:25,606 --> 00:09:27,858
Say, one little piece of lead
104
00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:31,612
and the littlest guy'
leave even
as big... The biggest man dead.
105
00:09:31,653 --> 00:09:34,656
Say, why don't nobody take a shot at him?
106
00:09:34,698 --> 00:09:37,409
Well,
the cemetery's full of them that missed.
107
00:09:38,494 --> 00:09:40,662
Let's have some real service, Oscar.
108
00:09:40,704 --> 00:09:43,415
And your r-r-regular order, sir?
109
00:09:43,457 --> 00:09:44,499
Right.
110
00:09:44,541 --> 00:09:46,459
What are you going to have, baby?
111
00:09:46,502 --> 00:09:47,628
Nothing.
112
00:09:48,754 --> 00:09:52,192
That means she'll have a chicken sandwich
and a glass of milk.
113
00:09:52,216 --> 00:09:54,468
Y-y-yes, boss, yes.
114
00:09:57,721 --> 00:09:59,908
What's the matter, Ritzie,
what are you sore about?
115
00:09:59,932 --> 00:10:01,409
I'm not sore.
116
00:10:01,433 --> 00:10:03,810
What good would it do if I were?
117
00:10:07,272 --> 00:10:08,356
What are you looking at?
118
00:10:08,398 --> 00:10:12,777
I'm looking at nothing,
and it's wearing a tuxedo.
119
00:10:14,863 --> 00:10:15,989
Who are you talking to?
120
00:10:16,031 --> 00:10:18,259
Stay right with him, baby.
Don't let him get away with anything.
121
00:10:18,283 --> 00:10:20,410
You might be lightning
to a lot of people,
122
00:10:20,452 --> 00:10:23,580
but you're just a wet match to me.
123
00:10:37,094 --> 00:10:39,280
Say, you big bozo.
124
00:10:39,304 --> 00:10:41,533
That ain't no way to treat a lady.
125
00:10:41,557 --> 00:10:42,599
No?
126
00:10:44,226 --> 00:10:45,268
Give me that gun.
127
00:10:49,398 --> 00:10:52,943
So you don't like the way I treat a lady,
huh?
128
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,699
I ain't gonna wait
for that ham sandwich another minute.
129
00:10:58,740 --> 00:11:00,199
I ain't hungry. Is you?
130
00:11:00,242 --> 00:11:01,886
Oh boy, somebody better call an ambulance.
131
00:11:01,910 --> 00:11:04,203
You wait till I get home,
I'm gonna tell my husband.
132
00:11:04,246 --> 00:11:07,290
L-I-lady, why don't you stop?
133
00:11:07,332 --> 00:11:09,769
- There's gonna be trouble in here in a minute.
- I'm all wet.
134
00:11:09,793 --> 00:11:12,587
I told you he was gon' hit her.
135
00:11:12,629 --> 00:11:16,132
- Take it easy, huh, be careful.
- Are they gonna shoot again?
136
00:11:19,219 --> 00:11:21,239
- Snapper.
- Wait a minute.
137
00:11:21,263 --> 00:11:22,740
Get back there.
138
00:11:22,764 --> 00:11:25,285
Where do you guys think you're going?
139
00:11:25,309 --> 00:11:26,578
Watch 'em, Jimmy.
140
00:11:26,602 --> 00:11:28,204
I wanna go home.
141
00:11:28,228 --> 00:11:29,270
Sit down.
142
00:11:29,313 --> 00:11:32,733
Hey, the two of you men,
143
00:11:32,774 --> 00:11:34,692
clean up this mess out here.
144
00:11:34,735 --> 00:11:36,278
(unintelligible).
145
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,696
Everything all right, chief?
146
00:11:37,738 --> 00:11:38,905
Tough crowd here tonight.
147
00:11:38,947 --> 00:11:40,633
Yeah, how do you feel tonight, Snapper?
148
00:11:40,657 --> 00:11:42,367
Oh, fine, chief.
149
00:11:42,409 --> 00:11:43,827
Hello there, Ritzie.
150
00:11:43,869 --> 00:11:45,036
Have some nuts.
151
00:11:45,078 --> 00:11:46,245
Great for the system.
152
00:11:46,288 --> 00:11:48,415
Fills up the body.
153
00:11:48,457 --> 00:11:50,709
How about your mind?
154
00:11:55,172 --> 00:11:57,066
What do we do with her, Snapper?
155
00:11:57,090 --> 00:12:01,362
Oh, drag that cluck outta here, will ya?
156
00:12:01,386 --> 00:12:04,490
A couple of yous guys.
157
00:12:04,514 --> 00:12:06,265
Let me help you, Snapper.
158
00:12:07,142 --> 00:12:09,329
Hey, lay off that, will ya?
159
00:12:09,353 --> 00:12:11,897
That's my trigger finger.
160
00:12:11,939 --> 00:12:14,191
What a fine night this is.
161
00:12:15,234 --> 00:12:18,237
Oh, uh, listen up, boy.
162
00:12:18,278 --> 00:12:21,197
Oh, uh, oh, uh, get out of here.
163
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,282
Music, boys.
164
00:12:29,706 --> 00:12:33,251
I suppose you thought it was funny
starting that ruckus.
165
00:12:34,127 --> 00:12:37,023
Strikes me you could stand
a little cooling off.
166
00:12:37,047 --> 00:12:39,067
How would you like
a dose of it yourself?
167
00:12:39,091 --> 00:12:40,151
Go right ahead.
168
00:12:40,175 --> 00:12:42,760
I wouldn't put it past you for a minute.
169
00:12:49,393 --> 00:12:53,438
<i>When night is creepin'
and I should be sleepin' in bed</i>
170
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,608
What are you trying to do, baby,
get me sore?
171
00:12:56,650 --> 00:13:00,713
<i>If you were peepin'
you'd find that I'm weepin' instead</i>
172
00:13:00,737 --> 00:13:03,573
Jim, I'm going to quit.
173
00:13:03,615 --> 00:13:05,241
What, again?
174
00:13:05,284 --> 00:13:06,493
I mean it this time.
175
00:13:06,535 --> 00:13:08,245
I've been trying to tell you.
176
00:13:08,287 --> 00:13:10,539
I'm not going on with it anymore.
177
00:13:10,580 --> 00:13:13,082
- <i>I'm</i> through.
<i>- Night after night</i>
178
00:13:13,125 --> 00:13:14,543
Through with what?
179
00:13:14,584 --> 00:13:17,897
What are you talking about?
180
00:13:17,921 --> 00:13:19,399
All this.
181
00:13:19,423 --> 00:13:21,401
These people.
182
00:13:21,425 --> 00:13:22,467
You.
183
00:13:25,887 --> 00:13:29,075
<i>No one can fill
that vacant chair</i>
184
00:13:29,099 --> 00:13:31,035
We're going to have this out right now.
185
00:13:31,059 --> 00:13:32,870
<i>When you're not there</i>
186
00:13:32,894 --> 00:13:37,394
<i>No need to knock,
the door is open for you</i>
187
00:13:38,608 --> 00:13:41,944
<i>-Please, daddy</i>
-We'll <i>find</i> a place where <i>we can</i> talk.
188
00:13:43,947 --> 00:13:44,989
Come on.
189
00:13:47,075 --> 00:13:51,162
<i>Daddy, do you have to roam so very long?</i>
190
00:13:51,204 --> 00:13:52,872
Come on.
191
00:13:52,914 --> 00:13:57,414
<i>There's lots of other new sheiks
who would like to be sheikin'</i>
192
00:13:57,961 --> 00:13:59,837
Come on, baby.
193
00:14:00,881 --> 00:14:05,381
<i>Daddy, daddy, daddy,
won't you please come home?</i>
194
00:14:08,597 --> 00:14:11,743
<i>Night after night, I'm or yin'</i>
195
00:14:11,767 --> 00:14:15,079
<i>Daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
196
00:14:15,103 --> 00:14:18,022
<i>Daddy,
won't you please come home?</i>
197
00:14:18,065 --> 00:14:22,069
<i>I'm so lonesome</i>
198
00:14:22,110 --> 00:14:25,196
<i>No one can fill
that vacant chair</i>
199
00:14:25,238 --> 00:14:28,532
<i>Home isn't home
if you're not there</i>
200
00:14:28,575 --> 00:14:33,075
<i>No need to knock,
the door is open for you</i>
201
00:14:33,955 --> 00:14:35,373
<i>Sweet daddy</i>
202
00:14:35,415 --> 00:14:38,626
<i>Even the clock keeps tickin'</i>
203
00:14:38,668 --> 00:14:41,981
<i>Daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
204
00:14:42,005 --> 00:14:46,505
<i>Daddy, do you have to roam so very long?</i>
205
00:14:47,552 --> 00:14:52,052
<i>There's lots of other new sheiks
who would like to be sheikin'</i>
206
00:14:52,140 --> 00:14:55,453
<i>Haven't slipped yet,
but I'm liable to weaken</i>
207
00:14:55,477 --> 00:14:59,977
<i>Daddy, daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
208
00:15:13,787 --> 00:15:15,747
I don't get you at all.
209
00:15:15,789 --> 00:15:19,584
You tell me you want to step out tonight,
go somewhere that's lively.
210
00:15:19,626 --> 00:15:22,045
I risk my neck
by walking into this joint,
211
00:15:22,087 --> 00:15:25,191
with all the cops
in the world on my trail.
212
00:15:25,215 --> 00:15:26,984
There's a 10-to-1 shot
there's a couple of dicks
213
00:15:27,008 --> 00:15:30,613
shadowing you right now to get to me.
214
00:15:30,637 --> 00:15:32,657
It's all right with me.
215
00:15:32,681 --> 00:15:35,326
I can take care of myself.
216
00:15:35,350 --> 00:15:38,895
But I do all this,
I take this big chance,
217
00:15:38,937 --> 00:15:40,563
and your idea
of the way to behave
218
00:15:40,605 --> 00:15:44,877
is to start that foolishness
all over again.
219
00:15:44,901 --> 00:15:46,569
What's the big idea?
220
00:15:46,611 --> 00:15:48,070
It's just this, Jim.
221
00:15:48,113 --> 00:15:50,448
I want to be decent again.
222
00:15:50,490 --> 00:15:54,160
Well, babe, you've always been
the most decent kid in the racket.
223
00:15:58,039 --> 00:16:01,917
You know, I used to get a big kick
out of being your girl,
224
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,896
out of knowing that
you'd take a chance on your life
225
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,213
just to see me
for a few minutes.
226
00:16:18,894 --> 00:16:22,105
You're the swellest girl
I ever knew.
227
00:16:25,317 --> 00:16:28,862
You wouldn't want to keep me
if I didn't want to stay, would you, Jim?
228
00:16:28,904 --> 00:16:30,947
Wouldn't I?
229
00:16:32,199 --> 00:16:36,661
I'd keep you with me
if the whole world didn't want you to stay
230
00:16:36,703 --> 00:16:38,663
and make them like it.
231
00:16:38,705 --> 00:16:40,665
That's just it.
232
00:16:40,707 --> 00:16:43,751
I don't want people to respect me
because they're afraid
233
00:16:43,793 --> 00:16:45,753
you'll crush their heads
if they don't.
234
00:16:45,795 --> 00:16:48,733
I don't want the police trailing me
wherever I go.
235
00:16:48,757 --> 00:16:51,968
I don't want people pointing at me
and whispering about me.
236
00:16:52,010 --> 00:16:55,281
All this Ritzie talk, boiled down,
means that you...
237
00:16:55,305 --> 00:16:57,366
You're ashamed of me, huh?
238
00:16:57,390 --> 00:17:00,976
No, just ashamed of myself.
239
00:17:01,019 --> 00:17:03,646
I want to know people
who are different from you and me,
240
00:17:03,688 --> 00:17:06,315
people who lead decent, normal lives.
241
00:17:06,358 --> 00:17:09,194
People who get up in the morning
to go to work.
242
00:17:09,236 --> 00:17:10,779
Regular people.
243
00:17:10,820 --> 00:17:12,905
Oh, don't be a fool.
244
00:17:12,948 --> 00:17:14,824
I don't care what you call me, Jim.
245
00:17:14,866 --> 00:17:17,326
That's the way I'm going
to live from now on.
246
00:17:17,369 --> 00:17:18,995
I'm going to quit.
247
00:17:20,372 --> 00:17:22,874
Well, let me tell you something, Ritzie.
248
00:17:22,916 --> 00:17:25,376
Maybe I'd like to go straight too.
249
00:17:25,418 --> 00:17:27,461
I haven't thought about it much.
250
00:17:27,504 --> 00:17:29,649
Maybe I don't know how.
251
00:17:29,673 --> 00:17:33,468
But as long as I'm going my way,
you're going with me.
252
00:17:35,262 --> 00:17:38,115
You're all I've got
that means anything to me.
253
00:17:38,139 --> 00:17:39,492
Do you think I would...
254
00:17:39,516 --> 00:17:42,352
Oh, come on, let's have a good time.
255
00:17:44,312 --> 00:17:46,897
You'll feel better
in the morning.
256
00:17:57,033 --> 00:17:59,702
Wait a minute.
257
00:17:59,744 --> 00:18:03,330
You haven't fallen for another guy,
have you?
258
00:18:03,373 --> 00:18:05,792
- Who is he?
- There is no other guy, Jim.
259
00:18:05,834 --> 00:18:07,627
It's just that we're through.
260
00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:09,837
You and me will never be through, Ritzie.
261
00:18:09,879 --> 00:18:11,566
Get that straight.
262
00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:15,528
You're my girl and nobody on earth
can take you away from me.
263
00:18:15,552 --> 00:18:19,448
Do you think you could hold me
if I didn't love you anymore?
264
00:18:19,472 --> 00:18:20,992
That don't worry me.
265
00:18:21,016 --> 00:18:24,787
It's the guy that tries to take you away
from me that's got the worrying to do.
266
00:18:24,811 --> 00:18:29,311
Oh, I know, it would be easy enough for you
to get your gang to do anything.
267
00:18:29,482 --> 00:18:33,777
That's one job
I wouldn't let anybody do for me.
268
00:18:36,740 --> 00:18:39,200
Come on, baby.
269
00:18:39,242 --> 00:18:41,327
Come on.
270
00:18:52,213 --> 00:18:55,651
I'd get that guy by myself
271
00:18:55,675 --> 00:19:00,175
if it was the last thing
in this world I ever did.
272
00:19:15,904 --> 00:19:17,196
Uh-oh.
273
00:19:17,238 --> 00:19:21,242
W-w—w-what... what's that n-n-now?
274
00:19:21,284 --> 00:19:24,245
I told you this was gonna happen.
275
00:19:24,287 --> 00:19:27,999
Hey, get off my foot.
276
00:19:28,041 --> 00:19:29,459
Find that light switch.
277
00:19:29,501 --> 00:19:32,003
Don't get excited, folks,
it's only a little raid.
278
00:19:32,045 --> 00:19:34,857
Everybody who can stand to pitch
will kindly keep their seats.
279
00:19:34,881 --> 00:19:38,259
Stand still there or I'll shoot.
280
00:19:40,929 --> 00:19:42,281
Don't move.
281
00:19:42,305 --> 00:19:43,699
I ain't movin', boss.
282
00:19:43,723 --> 00:19:45,975
I've been pushed.
283
00:20:09,833 --> 00:20:11,668
Where is Thunderbolt?
Come clean.
284
00:20:11,710 --> 00:20:13,002
Where is he?
285
00:20:14,587 --> 00:20:16,380
I don't know.
286
00:20:19,008 --> 00:20:21,969
And I don't ever want to know.
287
00:20:45,410 --> 00:20:49,789
I want you men to get this
and get it straight.
288
00:20:49,831 --> 00:20:52,166
It's been two months since Thunderbolt
got away from you
289
00:20:52,208 --> 00:20:54,960
and he's got to be found.
290
00:20:55,003 --> 00:20:58,983
Thunderbolt's girl's been living up
at Young Moran's house for weeks
291
00:20:59,007 --> 00:21:01,277
with the kid and his mother.
292
00:21:01,301 --> 00:21:05,801
Don't tell me that that kid doesn't know
something about Thunderbolt.
293
00:21:07,015 --> 00:21:08,826
Put the works on him.
294
00:21:08,850 --> 00:21:10,578
He'll talk
295
00:21:10,602 --> 00:21:15,102
when it's a question of talking
or being out of a job.
296
00:21:27,035 --> 00:21:28,578
Mr. Corwin wants to see you, Bob.
297
00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:30,622
Okay, Jimmy.
298
00:21:44,427 --> 00:21:46,489
You sent for me, Mr. Corwin?
299
00:21:46,513 --> 00:21:47,555
Yes.
300
00:21:48,723 --> 00:21:49,765
Sit down.
301
00:22:03,279 --> 00:22:04,280
Hello, Mom.
302
00:22:05,448 --> 00:22:07,825
- You're late, Bob.
- Yeah, I stayed overtime.
303
00:22:07,867 --> 00:22:09,827
- Hello, dear.
- Hello.
304
00:22:09,869 --> 00:22:12,162
I'm so glad you're here, Bob,
we were worried.
305
00:22:12,205 --> 00:22:14,790
Oh, I'm sorry, Mary,
but there's nothing to worry about.
306
00:22:14,833 --> 00:22:16,477
Everything was all right at the bank,
wasn't it?
307
00:22:16,501 --> 00:22:18,669
Everything was perfect.
308
00:22:21,506 --> 00:22:23,776
Yes, sir, everything was perfect.
309
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,737
- Until about 4:00.
- What happened about 4:00?
310
00:22:26,761 --> 00:22:27,863
Nothing much.
311
00:22:27,887 --> 00:22:29,740
I just got fired.
312
00:22:29,764 --> 00:22:32,284
That's why I stayed late
to turn over my accounts.
313
00:22:32,308 --> 00:22:33,452
You're joking?
314
00:22:33,476 --> 00:22:35,621
I'm not joking, it's the truth.
315
00:22:35,645 --> 00:22:37,438
What was it, Bob?
What was the matter?
316
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,901
Nothing, Mr. Corwin and I just couldn't
agree on how a bank should be run.
317
00:22:43,069 --> 00:22:44,779
It was on my account, wasn't it?
318
00:22:44,821 --> 00:22:46,298
Don't be silly.
319
00:22:46,322 --> 00:22:48,991
Tell me, Bob, I've got to know.
320
00:22:49,033 --> 00:22:51,201
They just told me
I'd have to make a choice.
321
00:22:51,244 --> 00:22:52,847
Either I'd have to give you up or else...
322
00:22:52,871 --> 00:22:53,955
Or else what?
323
00:22:53,997 --> 00:22:56,082
Just or else, that's all.
324
00:22:56,124 --> 00:22:58,376
Well, I'm glad you quit.
325
00:22:58,418 --> 00:23:02,213
I never could understand
why you wanted to stay at that bank anyhow.
326
00:23:02,255 --> 00:23:04,275
I don't think there was much chance
for you there.
327
00:23:04,299 --> 00:23:07,152
Wherever you go,
they'll always be finding out about me.
328
00:23:07,176 --> 00:23:09,446
Let 'em,
there's nothing to find out about you.
329
00:23:09,470 --> 00:23:12,283
You know, I always thought
you were too good for that place.
330
00:23:12,307 --> 00:23:14,767
They didn't appreciate you.
331
00:23:17,395 --> 00:23:19,438
Oh, don't start crying, dear.
332
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,333
You'll get your nose red.
333
00:23:21,357 --> 00:23:23,734
A thing like this doesn't bother us,
does it, Mom?
334
00:23:23,776 --> 00:23:25,778
We've looked for jobs before.
335
00:23:25,820 --> 00:23:27,298
I should never have come here at all.
336
00:23:27,322 --> 00:23:28,489
I knew it wasn't right.
337
00:23:28,531 --> 00:23:30,533
What wasn't right?
338
00:23:30,575 --> 00:23:34,120
Coming to live here
with you and your mother.
339
00:23:34,162 --> 00:23:36,247
You've been wonderful to me.
340
00:23:36,289 --> 00:23:38,666
And this is the way
I'm repaying you,
341
00:23:38,708 --> 00:23:39,792
getting you discharged.
342
00:23:39,834 --> 00:23:42,419
You're working yourself up
over nothing, Mary.
343
00:23:42,462 --> 00:23:44,815
What if I do lose a job now and then?
344
00:23:44,839 --> 00:23:46,567
What difference does it make?
345
00:23:46,591 --> 00:23:50,070
Come on, let's all go out
and have a good time tonight.
346
00:23:50,094 --> 00:23:52,698
Oh, Bob, your mother's
fixed a lovely supper for us.
347
00:23:52,722 --> 00:23:54,283
The lovely supper will keep.
348
00:23:54,307 --> 00:23:55,367
Bob is right.
349
00:23:55,391 --> 00:23:57,870
What you two need is to go out
and enjoy yourselves.
350
00:23:57,894 --> 00:24:00,289
Yeah,
we can't let a chance like this go by.
351
00:24:00,313 --> 00:24:02,690
I may not get fired again
for a long time.
352
00:24:02,732 --> 00:24:04,483
I've got some mending to do.
353
00:24:04,525 --> 00:24:06,318
You children go along by yourselves.
354
00:24:06,361 --> 00:24:09,030
Come now.
Come and get all dressed up.
355
00:24:09,072 --> 00:24:10,698
There you are.
356
00:24:16,371 --> 00:24:19,832
(unintelligible).
357
00:24:25,755 --> 00:24:27,900
Did someone knock, Bob?
358
00:24:27,924 --> 00:24:30,986
I thought I heard a knock.
359
00:24:31,010 --> 00:24:32,886
There's no one out here.
360
00:24:34,681 --> 00:24:37,117
Come on, get your hat, Bob.
361
00:24:37,141 --> 00:24:38,202
Run along, dear.
362
00:24:38,226 --> 00:24:40,353
- Have a good time.
- Goodnight.
363
00:24:41,396 --> 00:24:43,689
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight, Mom.
364
00:25:15,596 --> 00:25:18,283
Now, don't feel that way.
365
00:25:18,307 --> 00:25:20,475
Nothing important has happened.
366
00:25:20,518 --> 00:25:23,747
The thing that gets me
is that I was expecting a promotion,
367
00:25:23,771 --> 00:25:25,689
and you know what that meant.
368
00:25:25,732 --> 00:25:26,983
I'm not gonna wait any longer.
369
00:25:27,025 --> 00:25:29,861
As soon as I get a job again,
we're going to be married.
370
00:25:29,902 --> 00:25:32,112
There's no sense in waiting.
371
00:25:34,449 --> 00:25:36,409
Well, if it ain't the long lost child.
372
00:25:36,451 --> 00:25:37,469
Hello there, Ritzie.
373
00:25:37,493 --> 00:25:40,162
Well, it was a long time finding ya.
374
00:25:40,204 --> 00:25:41,622
I think you've made a mistake.
375
00:25:41,664 --> 00:25:44,208
You made a mistake, baby,
thinking you could keep out of sight.
376
00:25:44,250 --> 00:25:47,253
- Come on, Bob.
- So this is the old hideaway, is it?
377
00:25:47,295 --> 00:25:50,506
Well, I guess you know Thunderbolt's
been looking high and low for ya, don't ya?
378
00:25:50,548 --> 00:25:51,984
Why didn't you let him know
where you were?
379
00:25:52,008 --> 00:25:53,318
Drop him a postcard or something.
380
00:25:53,342 --> 00:25:55,112
I'm not interested in Thunderbolt.
381
00:25:55,136 --> 00:25:57,698
You're not, huh?
382
00:25:57,722 --> 00:26:02,222
And this is the Kewpie that made a sucker
out of Thunderbolt, huh?
383
00:26:02,643 --> 00:26:05,914
Well, I wouldn't be in your shoes
for all the rice in China.
384
00:26:05,938 --> 00:26:07,397
Stay on the level, Ritzie.
385
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,817
What have you been doing
with yourself all this time?
386
00:26:09,859 --> 00:26:11,277
Take your hand off her.
387
00:26:11,319 --> 00:26:12,504
Don't shove me.
388
00:26:12,528 --> 00:26:14,071
I'll shove ya.
389
00:26:14,113 --> 00:26:15,507
Well, I'll teach you to shove me.
390
00:26:15,531 --> 00:26:17,616
Look out, Bob, he's got a gun!
391
00:26:23,164 --> 00:26:24,641
Come on, Bob, let's go back upstairs.
392
00:26:24,665 --> 00:26:26,875
I'd like to take another sock at that guy.
393
00:26:26,918 --> 00:26:28,252
You've hurt your hand too.
394
00:26:28,294 --> 00:26:29,336
Come on, Bob.
395
00:26:31,714 --> 00:26:35,069
Did you fall downstairs?
396
00:26:35,093 --> 00:26:39,114
- Why, what happened?
- He fell downstairs, the poor man.
397
00:26:39,138 --> 00:26:42,201
I'd put a piece of fresh beef steak
on that eye if I were you.
398
00:26:42,225 --> 00:26:43,786
Well, you ain't me.
399
00:26:43,810 --> 00:26:46,705
My sister always puts a key
down the back of her neck
400
00:26:46,729 --> 00:26:48,480
to stop a nosebleed.
401
00:26:48,523 --> 00:26:51,484
I'll slip something down the back of
your neck if you don't leave me alone.
402
00:26:51,526 --> 00:26:54,195
Where's the nearest telephone
around here?
403
00:26:54,237 --> 00:26:56,781
Well, here,
don't you dare go near there.
404
00:26:56,823 --> 00:27:00,076
Oh, I just hate to see anybody hurt.
405
00:27:01,786 --> 00:27:04,079
Oh, now a squalling baby.
406
00:27:06,165 --> 00:27:08,041
Why, what's the matter?
407
00:27:08,084 --> 00:27:11,128
Nothing.
She talked me out of going out.
408
00:27:11,170 --> 00:27:13,463
You've hurt your hand.
What's happened?
409
00:27:13,506 --> 00:27:15,925
I guess I knocked it
against something.
410
00:27:18,803 --> 00:27:21,597
What's happened, Mary?
411
00:27:21,639 --> 00:27:24,118
We ran into a man I used to know.
412
00:27:24,142 --> 00:27:27,246
He tried to get fresh
and Bob had to hit him.
413
00:27:27,270 --> 00:27:29,814
Oh, I... I see, I...
414
00:27:31,149 --> 00:27:33,151
Well, we'll put something on it.
415
00:27:33,192 --> 00:27:34,419
- Don't bother, Mom.
- No, come on,
416
00:27:34,443 --> 00:27:36,088
we'll wash it out
and put some iodine on it.
417
00:27:36,112 --> 00:27:37,422
I don't want any of that stuff on it.
418
00:27:37,446 --> 00:27:40,240
Took a week for it to
wear off the last time.
419
00:27:41,826 --> 00:27:43,702
I don't want anything on it.
420
00:27:45,037 --> 00:27:46,913
That water could be hot.
421
00:27:48,207 --> 00:27:50,250
Mom, you treat me like I was a baby.
422
00:27:50,293 --> 00:27:51,919
That's all you act like
when you're hurt.
423
00:27:51,961 --> 00:27:53,045
Well, I ain't hurt.
424
00:27:53,087 --> 00:27:55,274
You got me mixed up
with the other guy.
425
00:27:55,298 --> 00:27:56,692
I'll bet you never touched
the other guy.
426
00:27:56,716 --> 00:27:59,820
Yeah? Well, no mother'
be able
to fix him up for a long time.
427
00:27:59,844 --> 00:28:03,013
That's what you say.
I'd like to see him to believe that.
428
00:28:07,143 --> 00:28:09,645
Answer the telephone, Mary.
429
00:28:18,446 --> 00:28:21,907
Mary, answer the telephone.
430
00:28:27,496 --> 00:28:28,538
Hello?
431
00:28:33,711 --> 00:28:36,088
How's every little thing?
432
00:28:40,676 --> 00:28:43,261
I'll be coming up your way.
433
00:28:47,767 --> 00:28:50,370
I can't, eh?
434
00:28:50,394 --> 00:28:52,771
I'll come right down.
435
00:28:52,813 --> 00:28:54,773
What for?
436
00:28:54,815 --> 00:28:57,317
It won't make any difference
to your boyfriend.
437
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,945
You might as well say goodbye
to him now.
438
00:28:59,987 --> 00:29:03,365
I just called up
to give you fair warning.
439
00:29:10,831 --> 00:29:12,976
- Let's put this iodine on it.
- I don't want any iodine.
440
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,752
Now hold still, hold still.
441
00:29:16,545 --> 00:29:18,296
Ouch. Ow!
442
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,277
Now look what you've done.
443
00:29:22,301 --> 00:29:23,820
All over my clean floor.
444
00:29:23,844 --> 00:29:25,679
I'll clean it up.
445
00:29:27,139 --> 00:29:28,325
Not my towels!
446
00:29:28,349 --> 00:29:29,993
Ouch.
447
00:29:30,017 --> 00:29:32,829
Do nothing but buy towels for this place.
448
00:29:32,853 --> 00:29:34,414
Look out there now.
449
00:29:34,438 --> 00:29:37,816
You know I keep
the floor cloths under here.
450
00:29:37,858 --> 00:29:39,067
Look at that iodine.
451
00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:40,486
You never can get that up.
452
00:29:40,528 --> 00:29:42,714
Well, I told you not to bring it out,
didn't I?
453
00:29:42,738 --> 00:29:44,030
I'd like to put some on your...
454
00:29:44,073 --> 00:29:45,908
Jiggers, Mom, I'm gettin' sore now.
455
00:29:45,950 --> 00:29:48,160
Well, what do you do if you get sore?
456
00:29:48,202 --> 00:29:49,846
Well, I'll show you,
I'm bigger than you are.
457
00:29:49,870 --> 00:29:51,580
Yes, well...
458
00:29:51,622 --> 00:29:53,892
- Give me the napkin.
- Not look, you'll get your hands all dirty.
459
00:29:53,916 --> 00:29:55,959
Give me that rag.
Give me that rag.
460
00:29:56,002 --> 00:29:58,629
I'm telling you, there's nothing...
461
00:29:58,671 --> 00:29:59,713
Bob, now, stop it.
462
00:29:59,755 --> 00:30:01,858
You're nothing but a big baby.
463
00:30:01,882 --> 00:30:04,152
NOW Will you stop it?
464
00:30:04,176 --> 00:30:05,218
Let go.
465
00:30:07,430 --> 00:30:10,617
Say, Bob, now who do you think I am?
466
00:30:10,641 --> 00:30:12,577
You're not fighting with
that fella down there!
467
00:30:12,601 --> 00:30:14,936
Yeah, I'm working with you, Mom.
468
00:30:19,775 --> 00:30:21,234
Stop it!
469
00:30:21,277 --> 00:30:23,570
Bob, please! Ow!
470
00:31:27,301 --> 00:31:29,219
Go on, get out of here. Beat it.
471
00:31:39,855 --> 00:31:41,356
I can't find her.
472
00:31:41,399 --> 00:31:44,568
Well, now don't worry, she's only gone
to the grocer's or something.
473
00:31:44,610 --> 00:31:47,446
I know, but she's been gone
such a long time.
474
00:31:47,488 --> 00:31:49,698
But here's her pocketbook and gloves.
475
00:31:49,740 --> 00:31:51,843
- She'll be back soon.
- Now, I'm worried.
476
00:31:51,867 --> 00:31:53,345
Well, I'm the one
that ought to be worried
477
00:31:53,369 --> 00:31:56,080
with the dinner getting cold
and everything.
478
00:31:56,122 --> 00:31:58,082
Do you think we oughta call
the police?
479
00:31:58,124 --> 00:32:02,169
Now, Bob, don't be so silly.
480
00:32:02,211 --> 00:32:04,922
She'll be back in less than no time.
481
00:32:08,300 --> 00:32:09,342
Hello?
482
00:32:38,664 --> 00:32:41,583
Katie! Katie!
483
00:32:42,835 --> 00:32:43,877
Yes?
484
00:32:44,753 --> 00:32:46,296
Are you calling me, Annie?
485
00:32:46,338 --> 00:32:48,150
You and Bill better come right up.
486
00:32:48,174 --> 00:32:49,925
The radio's working again.
487
00:32:49,967 --> 00:32:52,886
I'll be up in a minute,
Bill ain't home yet.
488
00:33:20,539 --> 00:33:22,832
Hey, listen,
I thought I told you to beat it.
489
00:33:22,875 --> 00:33:24,001
Now, come on, go home.
490
00:33:24,043 --> 00:33:26,211
I got work to do. Come on, boy.
491
00:33:26,253 --> 00:33:28,630
Nice little dog. Come on.
492
00:33:30,299 --> 00:33:31,735
Come on.
493
00:33:31,759 --> 00:33:34,136
Come on, come on.
494
00:33:35,346 --> 00:33:36,388
Come on.
495
00:33:38,098 --> 00:33:40,118
Come on, boy.
496
00:33:40,142 --> 00:33:41,578
Come on.
497
00:33:41,602 --> 00:33:42,829
Come on, boy.
498
00:33:42,853 --> 00:33:43,895
Come on.
499
00:33:47,316 --> 00:33:48,400
Come on, boy.
500
00:33:48,442 --> 00:33:49,484
Come on, boy.
501
00:33:50,653 --> 00:33:51,820
Come on!
502
00:33:51,862 --> 00:33:53,780
Come on, boy.
503
00:33:59,370 --> 00:34:01,121
Come on, boy.
504
00:34:01,163 --> 00:34:02,205
Come on.
505
00:34:05,376 --> 00:34:07,878
Come on, boy.
506
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,254
Come on.
507
00:34:09,296 --> 00:34:10,690
Come on, boy.
508
00:34:10,714 --> 00:34:11,756
Come on.
509
00:34:21,850 --> 00:34:24,102
Ain't he cute?
510
00:34:28,691 --> 00:34:32,695
I just love dogs.
511
00:34:43,998 --> 00:34:45,040
Come on.
512
00:34:48,127 --> 00:34:49,461
Come on.
513
00:34:49,503 --> 00:34:51,254
Come on, get out of here, get out.
514
00:34:51,297 --> 00:34:53,340
Go on, get out. Beat it!
515
00:34:54,383 --> 00:34:55,425
Stay out.
516
00:35:18,490 --> 00:35:20,051
Now, Bob, don't go near that door.
517
00:35:20,075 --> 00:35:21,659
I'm not going near the door, Mom.
518
00:35:21,702 --> 00:35:23,662
Come on away now.
519
00:35:33,297 --> 00:35:34,774
There's that bark again.
520
00:35:34,798 --> 00:35:37,068
Well, what if a dog does bark?
521
00:35:37,092 --> 00:35:39,279
I didn't know there was a dog in the house.
522
00:35:39,303 --> 00:35:41,823
Don't go out, Bob.
523
00:35:41,847 --> 00:35:43,992
Please, for my sake.
524
00:35:44,016 --> 00:35:46,768
Don't go out until Mary returns.
525
00:35:48,937 --> 00:35:50,332
What are you barking for?
526
00:35:50,356 --> 00:35:52,107
I thought I told you to beat it.
527
00:35:52,191 --> 00:35:54,234
You're going for a walk.
528
00:36:09,708 --> 00:36:11,251
You poor little mutt.
529
00:36:11,293 --> 00:36:12,544
Go on home.
530
00:36:12,586 --> 00:36:14,296
If you've got a home.
531
00:36:14,338 --> 00:36:16,131
I've got no time to play with you now.
532
00:36:16,173 --> 00:36:19,384
Put up your hands,
you're under arrest.
533
00:36:26,266 --> 00:36:27,600
All right, put 'em up.
534
00:36:29,144 --> 00:36:30,979
And keep 'em up.
535
00:36:33,315 --> 00:36:34,983
Frisk him, Bill.
536
00:36:51,166 --> 00:36:53,168
Slip the bracelets on him.
537
00:37:05,013 --> 00:37:06,574
Get back up there.
What are you doing up here?
538
00:37:06,598 --> 00:37:09,077
Go on, go wait upstairs.
539
00:37:09,101 --> 00:37:11,061
Go on, upstairs, everybody.
540
00:37:12,855 --> 00:37:15,023
Come on, keep movin' there, keep movin'.
541
00:37:17,609 --> 00:37:20,194
Wait up there, now go on,
now get back up there.
542
00:37:23,991 --> 00:37:27,703
Well, well, well, Thunderbolt.
543
00:37:29,163 --> 00:37:31,748
Long time no see.
544
00:37:42,801 --> 00:37:45,321
You guys are all alike.
545
00:37:45,345 --> 00:37:49,845
No brains, no brains.
546
00:37:49,933 --> 00:37:52,894
Your dame told us
you were coming here.
547
00:38:00,486 --> 00:38:03,572
A lot of help you were.
548
00:38:03,614 --> 00:38:07,326
To think it took a mutt like you
to send me up.
549
00:38:07,367 --> 00:38:08,618
I didn't know you had a dog.
550
00:38:08,660 --> 00:38:10,161
Is he yours?
551
00:38:10,204 --> 00:38:12,289
He is now.
552
00:38:12,331 --> 00:38:15,083
He cost me plenty.
553
00:38:16,460 --> 00:38:18,128
Ain't he beautiful?
554
00:38:18,170 --> 00:38:19,963
I wouldn't brag about him.
555
00:38:20,005 --> 00:38:21,756
Come on, boys.
556
00:39:00,462 --> 00:39:01,671
Let me go down there.
557
00:39:01,713 --> 00:39:02,714
Let me!
558
00:39:02,756 --> 00:39:04,359
What right have you got
to keep me back?
559
00:39:04,383 --> 00:39:05,425
Just stay back.
560
00:39:07,302 --> 00:39:08,363
Oh, Bob.
561
00:39:08,387 --> 00:39:09,781
What is the matter, Mary,
what happened?
562
00:39:09,805 --> 00:39:12,283
Go into the... go into the house,
go on, children.
563
00:39:12,307 --> 00:39:14,911
I wonder what she's got to do with it.
564
00:39:14,935 --> 00:39:15,977
I don't know.
565
00:39:41,712 --> 00:39:44,131
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
566
00:39:44,172 --> 00:39:46,442
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
567
00:39:46,466 --> 00:39:50,966
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
568
00:39:51,847 --> 00:39:54,349
<i>Brother, you ought to been there</i>
569
00:39:54,391 --> 00:39:56,870
<i>Yes, my Lord</i>
570
00:39:56,894 --> 00:40:01,394
<i>A-sitting in the kingdom
for to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
571
00:40:01,982 --> 00:40:04,335
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
572
00:40:04,359 --> 00:40:06,569
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
573
00:40:06,612 --> 00:40:11,112
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
574
00:40:11,533 --> 00:40:14,702
<i>Sister, you ought to been there</i>
575
00:40:14,745 --> 00:40:18,123
<i>Yes, my Lord</i>
576
00:40:18,165 --> 00:40:22,665
<i>A-sitting in the kingdom
for to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
577
00:40:24,630 --> 00:40:27,483
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
578
00:40:27,507 --> 00:40:30,236
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
579
00:40:30,260 --> 00:40:34,760
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
580
00:40:36,725 --> 00:40:39,579
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
581
00:40:39,603 --> 00:40:42,897
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
582
00:40:42,940 --> 00:40:47,440
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
583
00:41:02,334 --> 00:41:06,834
Say,
this piano will need tuning pretty soon.
584
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,756
Yes.
585
00:41:11,009 --> 00:41:15,509
I wish there were a way of telling
when a human being's out of tune.
586
00:41:22,646 --> 00:41:25,523
Couldn't be more comfortable at the Ritz.
587
00:41:25,565 --> 00:41:26,941
One-Way Street, huh?
588
00:41:26,984 --> 00:41:29,987
Everything coming in
and nothing going out.
589
00:41:44,459 --> 00:41:47,378
Now take care of yourself
and don't catch cold.
590
00:41:47,421 --> 00:41:49,256
Plenty of blankets here.
591
00:41:49,297 --> 00:41:50,775
And look out for pneumonia.
592
00:41:50,799 --> 00:41:53,510
Don't want to give this place
a bad name.
593
00:42:09,234 --> 00:42:13,613
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
594
00:42:13,655 --> 00:42:17,367
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
595
00:42:18,285 --> 00:42:22,785
<i>I want to go to Heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
596
00:42:27,836 --> 00:42:31,172
Hey, Number 3!
597
00:42:32,549 --> 00:42:35,236
Hey you, new guy.
598
00:42:35,260 --> 00:42:37,238
You're Number 3.
599
00:42:37,262 --> 00:42:39,323
You might as well get
me right from the start.
600
00:42:39,347 --> 00:42:42,744
I'm Number 1 anywhere.
601
00:42:42,768 --> 00:42:47,268
Well, Number 3 or... or Number 1
or whatever you are,
602
00:42:47,439 --> 00:42:50,775
do you sing tenor?
603
00:42:50,817 --> 00:42:52,151
Who me?
604
00:42:52,194 --> 00:42:54,362
I kill tenors.
605
00:42:55,864 --> 00:42:58,658
Oh, a tough guy, hey?
606
00:42:58,700 --> 00:43:01,119
Too bad you ain't a tenor.
607
00:43:01,161 --> 00:43:04,414
We had a swell quartet,
608
00:43:04,456 --> 00:43:07,041
but they took our tenor yesterday.
609
00:43:08,168 --> 00:43:10,336
Hey, Number 4.
610
00:43:10,378 --> 00:43:12,838
What does that new bird look like?
611
00:43:14,299 --> 00:43:18,780
Well, ain't much to be said about him.
612
00:43:18,804 --> 00:43:19,888
Pretty big.
613
00:43:21,223 --> 00:43:25,723
Got a mug on him
like they use to scare babies with.
614
00:43:25,977 --> 00:43:27,663
Looks like he cuts his hair with a...
615
00:43:27,687 --> 00:43:30,022
Oh, close your trap.
616
00:43:30,065 --> 00:43:33,544
Say, is that you, Thunderbolt?
617
00:43:33,568 --> 00:43:35,319
That's me.
618
00:43:35,362 --> 00:43:39,862
Reading from left to right, Thunderbolt.
619
00:43:39,991 --> 00:43:41,534
Who wants to know?
620
00:43:41,576 --> 00:43:44,829
Don't tell me that you've forgotten me.
621
00:43:44,871 --> 00:43:47,248
Wait, that sounds like Chuck.
622
00:43:47,290 --> 00:43:49,125
Is that you, kid?
623
00:43:49,167 --> 00:43:52,336
The kid himself, sure thing.
624
00:43:52,379 --> 00:43:56,192
Say, what are you in for, big boy?
625
00:43:56,216 --> 00:43:58,402
Being kind to animals.
626
00:43:58,426 --> 00:44:02,740
I just got too interested in a dog,
that's all.
627
00:44:02,764 --> 00:44:05,076
You know any more jokes?
628
00:44:05,100 --> 00:44:08,103
This place is for killers.
629
00:44:12,858 --> 00:44:14,985
Who is that, a friend of yours, Chuck?
630
00:44:15,026 --> 00:44:18,487
Friend of mine?
I should say not.
631
00:44:18,530 --> 00:44:22,033
How long you gonna stop in our hotel, Jim?
632
00:44:22,075 --> 00:44:23,993
About eight weeks.
633
00:44:24,035 --> 00:44:27,204
Anybody else in here I oughta know?
634
00:44:27,247 --> 00:44:29,374
Holler roll for him, boys.
635
00:44:29,416 --> 00:44:33,916
Joe Ripley, been here so long
I've forgotten what I'm in for.
636
00:44:33,962 --> 00:44:36,506
Kentucky Sampson.
637
00:44:36,548 --> 00:44:39,443
Caught on the 13th job.
638
00:44:39,467 --> 00:44:43,967
I was that good, the jury brought in a verdict
of guilty before they went out to lunch.
639
00:44:44,472 --> 00:44:47,975
I'm next door, Jim, Number 5.
640
00:44:50,103 --> 00:44:52,415
Hey, Pat, give me a light, will ya?
641
00:44:52,439 --> 00:44:54,649
<i>Everybody talkin' 'bout Heaven
ain't goin' there</i>
642
00:44:54,733 --> 00:44:57,152
<i>Heaven, Heaven</i>
643
00:44:57,194 --> 00:45:00,739
<i>Gonna shout all over,
goin' to Heaven</i>
644
00:45:00,780 --> 00:45:03,115
Leave those matches here, will you, Pat?
645
00:45:03,158 --> 00:45:05,034
I would (unintelligible).
646
00:45:05,076 --> 00:45:07,578
Sure, you know it's against the rules.
647
00:45:07,621 --> 00:45:11,291
And furthermore, my name is not Pat.
648
00:45:11,333 --> 00:45:13,376
- What is your name?
- Don't tell him!
649
00:45:13,418 --> 00:45:16,254
Make him guess!
650
00:45:16,296 --> 00:45:18,089
Number 6.
651
00:45:18,131 --> 00:45:21,676
Making my exit today.
652
00:45:21,718 --> 00:45:24,447
<i>I got a song, you got a song</i>
653
00:45:24,471 --> 00:45:27,366
<i>All of God's children got a song</i>
654
00:45:27,390 --> 00:45:30,912
Number 7 is at the piano.
655
00:45:30,936 --> 00:45:34,123
Special dispensation from the warden.
656
00:45:34,147 --> 00:45:37,668
Number 8, (unintelligible) Roberts.
657
00:45:37,692 --> 00:45:40,027
Murder in the first degree.
658
00:45:40,070 --> 00:45:42,113
Brought up by honest parents.
659
00:45:42,155 --> 00:45:45,491
At least, they was honest as far as I know.
660
00:45:45,533 --> 00:45:50,033
Absolutely on the level
until my 12th birthday.
661
00:45:55,335 --> 00:45:59,774
Number 9's still in the hospital, I guess.
662
00:45:59,798 --> 00:46:03,277
Number 10, now broadcasting.
663
00:46:03,301 --> 00:46:06,155
Bad AI Frieberg, that's me.
664
00:46:06,179 --> 00:46:09,909
I guess I don't have to tell you who I am.
665
00:46:09,933 --> 00:46:12,078
Maybe you should.
666
00:46:12,102 --> 00:46:14,288
I never heard of you.
667
00:46:14,312 --> 00:46:15,998
Don't kid me.
668
00:46:16,022 --> 00:46:18,107
Everybody heard about me.
669
00:46:18,149 --> 00:46:21,443
There was whole pages in
the papers when I was caught
670
00:46:21,486 --> 00:46:23,529
Pictures and everything.
671
00:46:23,571 --> 00:46:28,071
The Machine Gun Terror,
that's what they call me.
672
00:46:29,077 --> 00:46:31,954
Oh yes, I remember you now.
673
00:46:31,997 --> 00:46:35,166
The Machine Gun Terror, huh?
674
00:46:35,208 --> 00:46:39,420
Well,
down my way they call you Squirt Gun AI.
675
00:46:39,462 --> 00:46:41,630
I'll squirt gun you, you big stick.
If I ever...
676
00:46:41,673 --> 00:46:46,010
Oh, you big fat head,
I bet you bragged your way into the joint.
677
00:46:48,513 --> 00:46:49,824
Come on, Number 7.
678
00:46:49,848 --> 00:46:51,850
Back to your cell.
679
00:47:13,538 --> 00:47:18,038
As I was saying, I was absolutely
on the level until my 12th birthday,
680
00:47:19,502 --> 00:47:24,002
and then, well,
nothing much happened until I was 37.
681
00:47:25,008 --> 00:47:27,844
Then I blew up over a dame!
682
00:47:29,304 --> 00:47:31,657
You're not the only one.
683
00:47:31,681 --> 00:47:33,242
You said it.
684
00:47:33,266 --> 00:47:36,162
There's a dame behind
every guy in this joint.
685
00:47:36,186 --> 00:47:38,456
That was the trouble with me.
686
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,149
The dames wouldn't let me alone.
687
00:47:41,191 --> 00:47:45,691
I wouldn't be here now if two skirts
hadn't fell for me at the same time.
688
00:47:48,198 --> 00:47:50,450
Yeah, I know.
689
00:47:50,492 --> 00:47:54,992
Fell for you, you mean tripped
trying to get out of your way.
690
00:47:57,707 --> 00:47:59,625
Say, listen.
691
00:47:59,667 --> 00:48:01,669
I've had about enough out of you.
692
00:48:01,711 --> 00:48:05,066
I'd show you something if they let
me out of here a couple of minutes.
693
00:48:05,090 --> 00:48:06,567
You big cluck!
694
00:48:06,591 --> 00:48:09,153
What would you do, big boy?
695
00:48:09,177 --> 00:48:10,821
I'd do plenty.
696
00:48:10,845 --> 00:48:12,847
Don't you worry about that.
697
00:48:12,889 --> 00:48:16,285
I ain't afraid of you or that
phony right hand of yours.
698
00:48:16,309 --> 00:48:19,580
Sure you're not,
699
00:48:19,604 --> 00:48:22,523
with these bars between us.
700
00:48:33,868 --> 00:48:36,161
- Hello, Mr. Moran.
- Hello, Jack.
701
00:48:36,204 --> 00:48:38,372
- How are you?
- Fine.
702
00:48:55,056 --> 00:48:57,618
Well, what can I do for you?
703
00:48:57,642 --> 00:49:00,246
Well, you sent for me, Mr. Corwin.
704
00:49:00,270 --> 00:49:02,289
I did nothing of the sort.
705
00:49:02,313 --> 00:49:04,023
That's funny.
706
00:49:04,065 --> 00:49:08,319
Your secretary phoned the house yesterday
and left word that you wanted to see me.
707
00:49:16,453 --> 00:49:18,037
Miss Randall has gone to lunch.
708
00:49:18,079 --> 00:49:20,164
Is there anything I can do for you, sir?
709
00:49:20,206 --> 00:49:22,374
No, never mind.
710
00:49:22,417 --> 00:49:25,044
I don't see why she
should've called you up.
711
00:49:25,086 --> 00:49:27,671
There's nothing I want to see you about.
712
00:49:30,049 --> 00:49:32,968
Then I'm sorry I bothered you.
713
00:49:46,065 --> 00:49:48,233
Got a match, buddy?
714
00:49:56,451 --> 00:49:58,244
Take it easy, Moran.
715
00:49:58,286 --> 00:50:01,455
Come on there, all of you,
get your hands up.
716
00:50:01,498 --> 00:50:02,624
Keep 'em up!
717
00:50:02,665 --> 00:50:06,043
High up there, face the wall!
718
00:50:06,085 --> 00:50:08,670
Come on, do as I tell you.
719
00:50:23,478 --> 00:50:27,978
Even a bank ain't safe
from these gangsters.
720
00:50:29,526 --> 00:50:32,487
- Come on, come on.
- Hey!
721
00:50:46,167 --> 00:50:48,085
Come on!

00:51:32,088 --> 00:51:34,275
You seem happy tonight.
730
00:51:34,299 --> 00:51:36,968
Just got some great news.
731
00:51:38,845 --> 00:51:41,657
What would you call great news?
732
00:51:41,681 --> 00:51:43,033
Getting out of here?
733
00:51:43,057 --> 00:51:44,785
That doesn't worry me.
734
00:51:44,809 --> 00:51:48,062
I've always paid my way.
735
00:51:48,104 --> 00:51:51,000
What does worry you?

You men will only get me into trouble.
749
00:52:38,821 --> 00:52:41,156
I'll handle this.
750
00:52:41,199 --> 00:52:42,867
Watch me!
751
00:52:42,909 --> 00:52:45,453
Now you turn over that gun
this minute, do you hear?
752
00:52:45,495 --> 00:52:47,079
This is my last warning.

00:52:47,121 --> 00:52:49,790

have to fill you full of bullets!
754

Go ahead, that's what I want you to do!

Now listen, AI, listen to reason.

We've got to execute you tonight.
760
00:53:07,934 --> 00:53:10,412
Besides, you haven't got a chance, AI.
761
00:53:10,436 --> 00:53:12,915
That gun's empty.
762
00:53:12,939 --> 00:53:16,317
- How do you know?
- We caught the guy who sold it to you.
763
00:53:16,359 --> 00:53:19,070
I'll show you whether it's empty or not!
764
00:53:19,112 --> 00:53:21,531
Ah, don't point that thing at me!
765
00:53:21,572 --> 00:53:23,198
Bring on your gang.
766
00:53:23,241 --> 00:53:27,286
I don't care how I die
as long as I die shooting!
767
00:53:27,328 --> 00:53:29,621
Yeah, you'll die shooting.
768

769
00:53:31,999 --> 00:53:34,334
I'll get you too before I'm through!
770
00:53:34,377 --> 00:53:37,088
You ain't big enough, little boy.
771
00:53:37,130 --> 00:53:39,441
I'll fill you full of lead
if it's the last thing I do!
772
00:53:39,465 --> 00:53:43,965
Yes, and if I was the warden I'd take that gat
away from you and shove it down your throat.
773
00:53:44,512 --> 00:53:48,325
If I could only get close enough
to take a crack at you!
774
00:53:48,349 --> 00:53:52,849
You haven't got the nerve it takes
to crack a slot machine.
775
00:54:02,363 --> 00:54:03,697
Get out of the way, boys!
776
00:54:03,740 --> 00:54:05,158
Clear the deck!
777
00:54:05,199 --> 00:54:07,177
Give me that gun, you rat.
778
00:54:07,201 --> 00:54:09,620
Give it to you?
779
00:54:09,662 --> 00:54:11,872
I'll give it to you all right!

<i>Down will come baby, cradle and all</i>

00:54:33,436 --> 00:54:36,415
Here's a souvenir for you, warden.
785
00:54:36,439 --> 00:54:39,567
<i>When the wind blows, the cradle will rock</i>
786
00:54:39,609 --> 00:54:41,211

787
00:54:41,235 --> 00:54:42,903

788
00:54:42,945 --> 00:54:44,154
Go on now!
789
00:54:44,197 --> 00:54:48,697
<i>Down will come baby, cradle and all</i>
790
00:55:04,342 --> 00:55:06,069
Thanks, Mike.
791
00:55:06,093 --> 00:55:08,864
My name is not Mike.
792
00:55:08,888 --> 00:55:10,848
I'll guess it.
793
00:55:15,186 --> 00:55:16,914
Just a little accident, doc.
794
00:55:16,938 --> 00:55:19,899
Somebody hit him.
795
00:55:19,941 --> 00:55:22,485
What'd he hit him with, a Sledgehammer?
796
00:55:28,407 --> 00:55:30,117
Looks a like a very dangerous concussion.
797
00:55:30,159 --> 00:55:33,662
It won't be fatal, will it?
798
00:55:33,704 --> 00:55:36,665
Listen, doc,
you've just got to see that this man lives.
799
00:55:36,707 --> 00:55:38,041
Do something!
800
00:55:38,084 --> 00:55:39,835
I've got to execute him tonight.
801
00:55:39,877 --> 00:55:42,504
Take him to the hospital
and put him on the table.
802
00:55:45,216 --> 00:55:47,801
He's certainly had a terrible shock.
803
00:55:49,345 --> 00:55:51,221
Be careful with him, boys.
804
00:55:54,976 --> 00:55:57,162
You shouldn't have hit that man so hard,
Jim.
805
00:55:57,186 --> 00:55:59,665
Don't worry about him, warden.
806
00:55:59,689 --> 00:56:01,399
He'll come out of it in a couple of hours.
807
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,651
I just tapped him.
808
00:56:04,694 --> 00:56:06,779
Well, anyway, I'm much obliged to you,
809
00:56:06,821 --> 00:56:11,033
and if there's any little favor I could
do for you, that is, within reason.
810
00:56:11,075 --> 00:56:14,745
Well, if it isn't asking too much,
811
00:56:14,787 --> 00:56:18,665
I would like to have that
dog of mine in here with me.
812
00:56:18,708 --> 00:56:21,419
Well, I guess we can
fix that up for you all right.
813
00:56:21,460 --> 00:56:25,960
<i>(unintelligible)</i>
814
00:56:26,215 --> 00:56:28,569
I thought I had that quartet broken up.
815
00:56:28,593 --> 00:56:31,989
But I no sooner get rid of one
than they send me another.
816
00:56:32,013 --> 00:56:34,992
You sure pulled me out of an awful mess.
817
00:56:35,016 --> 00:56:36,869
It was a pleasure, warden.
818
00:56:36,893 --> 00:56:40,163
I'd have been in a tough spot
if this thing had broken in the papers.
819
00:56:40,187 --> 00:56:42,541
Think of the scandal!
820
00:56:42,565 --> 00:56:45,276
I'll fix that dog thing up
for you in a day or two.
821
00:56:45,318 --> 00:56:48,029
<i>That brings me back again</i>
822
00:56:48,070 --> 00:56:50,572
<i>Down home where I remain</i>
823
00:56:50,615 --> 00:56:54,410
<i>Where my honey lamb am</i>
824
00:56:54,452 --> 00:56:57,079

<i>All aboard for Alabam</i>

00:57:05,296 --> 00:57:09,796
<i>Alabam, Alabam</i>
829
00:57:16,933 --> 00:57:19,870
Couldn't be more comfortable at the Ritz.
830
00:57:19,894 --> 00:57:21,955
And don't you give me any trouble!
831
00:57:21,979 --> 00:57:24,398
I'm having trouble enough around here.
832
00:57:28,694 --> 00:57:31,530
I'll see you later, Number 4.
833
00:57:50,216 --> 00:57:52,718
Hey, Number 4!
834
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,077
He's calling you, new guy.
835
00:58:00,101 --> 00:58:01,954
You're Number 4.
836
00:58:01,978 --> 00:58:04,498
What are you in for, new guy?
837
00:58:04,522 --> 00:58:07,399
They were robbing a bank
and someone got killed,
838
00:58:07,441 --> 00:58:10,610
and they found a revolver in my pocket.
839
00:58:10,653 --> 00:58:13,197
You didn't have anything to do with it,
did you?
840
00:58:13,239 --> 00:58:14,531
Not a thing.
841
00:58:14,573 --> 00:58:16,241
That's fine.
842
00:58:16,283 --> 00:58:18,702
Now tell us another bedtime story.
843
00:58:21,038 --> 00:58:24,750
Hey, what does he look like, Number 3?
844
00:58:28,963 --> 00:58:33,402
Swing around there, buddy,
so I can get a good look at you.
845
00:58:33,426 --> 00:58:37,096
Don't be bashful, I'm not gonna bite you.
846
00:58:40,099 --> 00:58:44,413
Well, he ain't so bad to look at, I guess.
847
00:58:44,437 --> 00:58:48,458
He's got a face like those fellows
on the collar ads,
848
00:58:48,482 --> 00:58:52,611
and I ain't sure but what
he's got a dimple or two.
849
00:58:52,653 --> 00:58:57,153
Beautiful hair and kind of a mushy mouth.
850
00:58:57,366 --> 00:59:00,994
Looks like one of those lady killers,
if you ask me.
851
00:59:02,496 --> 00:59:06,996
The kind a silly dame is bound to fall for.
852
00:59:09,211 --> 00:59:11,713
What's your name, new guy?
853
00:59:15,217 --> 00:59:17,612
Moran, Bob Moran.
854
00:59:17,636 --> 00:59:19,512
Moran, huh?
855
00:59:19,555 --> 00:59:24,055
Say, ain't you the guy I been reading about
that stole Thunderbolt's girl?
856
00:59:24,852 --> 00:59:28,081
<i>Take me out to the ball game</i>
857
00:59:28,105 --> 00:59:30,982
<i>Take me out with the crowd</i>

<i>Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack</i>
859
00:59:32,610 --> 00:59:37,110
It might interest you to know
the guy across the way from you
860
00:59:37,239 --> 00:59:40,992
is a party by the name of Thunderbolt.
861
00:59:41,035 --> 00:59:43,662
You two guys oughta know each other better.
862
00:59:43,704 --> 00:59:48,204
<i>One, two, three strikes, you're out,
at the old ball game</i>
863
00:59:49,418 --> 00:59:52,003
You put me in here, you framed me!
864
00:59:52,046 --> 00:59:54,465
You know I'm innocent, you're in on it!
865
00:59:54,507 --> 00:59:57,360
I'd like to get my hands on you just once!
866
00:59:57,384 --> 01:00:00,072
Just once, just once!
867
01:00:00,096 --> 01:00:02,741
<i>If I never get back,
let me root, root, root</i>
868
01:00:02,765 --> 01:00:04,618
You've got me wrong, kid.
869
01:00:04,642 --> 01:00:06,536
I've never done anything to you.
870
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:11,060
You're a dirty liar, you framed me,
you got me into this!
871
01:00:11,273 --> 01:00:14,776
I'm not afraid of you, I'm not scared!
872
01:00:14,819 --> 01:00:17,571
I'm not afraid to die!
873
01:00:28,499 --> 01:00:32,377
Over, lay over.
874
01:00:32,419 --> 01:00:35,380
Thatta boy, there.
875
01:00:37,508 --> 01:00:39,402
Say, Thunderbolt!
876
01:00:39,426 --> 01:00:43,865
If it's all the same to you, will you stop
teaching that dog to roll over and play dead?
877
01:00:43,889 --> 01:00:46,099
He's giving me the willies.
878
01:01:22,469 --> 01:01:24,489
Get the handcuff crew.
879
01:01:24,513 --> 01:01:27,576
Hey, up there on the upper deck,
front and center.
880
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:29,435
Yo!
881
01:01:38,736 --> 01:01:42,740
The district attorney wants to see you,
down in my office.
882
01:01:45,618 --> 01:01:46,827
What does he want?
883
01:01:46,869 --> 01:01:48,245
I don't know.
884
01:01:49,997 --> 01:01:53,583
Well,
I don't want him bothering me anymore.
885
01:01:53,626 --> 01:01:56,170
I got enough to worry about as it is.
886
01:01:56,212 --> 01:02:00,712
Well, you haven't got much longer
to worry about anything.
887
01:02:01,425 --> 01:02:04,571
So you've set the date for my kick-off,
have you?
888
01:02:04,595 --> 01:02:06,031
Yup.
889
01:02:06,055 --> 01:02:09,367
I've got two for the
week of January the 7th.
890
01:02:09,391 --> 01:02:11,995
Who's the other one?
891
01:02:12,019 --> 01:02:15,957
Moran goes on Monday
and you're set for Saturday.
892
01:02:15,981 --> 01:02:18,066
That's great.
893
01:02:20,152 --> 01:02:23,238
You know, I was glad that your lawyers
got you that temporary reprieve
894
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,490
so that you could be
around a little while longer.
895
01:02:25,532 --> 01:02:27,784
You don't take it so hard.
896
01:02:27,826 --> 01:02:30,370
But some of these other fellas...
897
01:02:30,412 --> 01:02:33,498
- Come on, get him out of there.
- Hey, warden!
898
01:02:37,419 --> 01:02:41,464
I may be seconds to death,
but you've got no right to make me listen
899
01:02:41,507 --> 01:02:45,362
to that same piece of music
every time that band plays here.
900
01:02:45,386 --> 01:02:47,447
It's cruel and inhuman.
901
01:02:47,471 --> 01:02:51,224
I come here for rest and recreation.
902
01:02:53,185 --> 01:02:55,789
You're just plain ungrateful, that's all.
903
01:02:55,813 --> 01:02:57,666
I'm sorry you ever came here.
904
01:02:57,690 --> 01:03:00,192
So am I!
905
01:03:03,654 --> 01:03:06,239
Come on, bring him out.
906
01:03:49,783 --> 01:03:51,993
Sit down, Jim.
907
01:03:55,748 --> 01:03:57,458
How are you, McKay?
908
01:03:57,499 --> 01:03:59,751
Let's get down to cases, Jim.
909
01:03:59,793 --> 01:04:02,128
You know me and you
know the kind of a man I am.
910
01:04:02,171 --> 01:04:03,255
Yeah.
911
01:04:03,297 --> 01:04:06,151
I don't want to send an
innocent man to his death.
912
01:04:06,175 --> 01:04:10,030
As a matter of fact, I'd fight just as hard
to get an innocent man out of here
913
01:04:10,054 --> 01:04:12,490
as I would fight to put
a guilty man in here.
914
01:04:12,514 --> 01:04:14,075
All right, I'll vote for you.
915
01:04:14,099 --> 01:04:16,578
What are you running for?
916
01:04:16,602 --> 01:04:18,812
This is a serious matter, Jim.
917
01:04:18,854 --> 01:04:20,749
It'll pay you to be serious about it.
918
01:04:20,773 --> 01:04:23,984
I may be helping to snuff out the life
of an innocent man.
919
01:04:24,026 --> 01:04:26,611
You mean you're sorry for railroading me?
920
01:04:26,653 --> 01:04:29,947
Several people have been to see me
about Bob Moran.
921
01:04:29,990 --> 01:04:34,490
He's the man you were going to kill
the night you were caught.
922
01:04:35,621 --> 01:04:37,748
I was going to kill?
923
01:04:37,790 --> 01:04:40,250
You got me mixed up with somebody.
924
01:04:40,292 --> 01:04:43,920
I make it a point never to kill any Morans.
925
01:04:45,756 --> 01:04:47,984
Then why did you go
to his apartment that night?
926
01:04:48,008 --> 01:04:49,819
I'll bite, why did I?
927
01:04:49,843 --> 01:04:52,530
You tell me, you know everything.
928
01:04:52,554 --> 01:04:54,449
That kind of an attitude won't help you...
929
01:04:54,473 --> 01:04:56,826
I'm not looking for help.
930
01:04:56,850 --> 01:04:59,978
When I want your help, I'll let you know.
931
01:05:27,005 --> 01:05:29,007
Do you know this lady?
932
01:05:30,717 --> 01:05:33,863
No, who is she?
933
01:05:33,887 --> 01:05:36,931
Bob Moran is my son.
934
01:05:40,769 --> 01:05:42,979
He's my only child.
935
01:05:46,608 --> 01:05:51,108
I came down here to ask you
to help me to save him.
936
01:05:56,243 --> 01:06:00,080
Well, I guess it's no use, is it?
937
01:06:00,122 --> 01:06:03,667
What's the idea of pulling
this sob stuff on me?
938
01:06:03,709 --> 01:06:05,794
Just a minute.
939
01:06:12,551 --> 01:06:15,738
Oh, Mary.
940
01:06:15,762 --> 01:06:17,221
Oh!
941
01:06:21,310 --> 01:06:23,937
Jim, you're not going
through with this, are you?
942
01:06:23,979 --> 01:06:26,940
What are you talking about?
943
01:06:27,024 --> 01:06:28,316
I know you, Jim.
944
01:06:28,358 --> 01:06:31,903
You're a killer, but you were always fair.
945
01:06:31,945 --> 01:06:33,655
You were never mean.
946
01:06:33,697 --> 01:06:35,699
You were never cruel.
947
01:06:35,741 --> 01:06:38,452
Have I got to listen
to all this junk, warden?
948
01:06:38,494 --> 01:06:40,871
No, not if you don't want to.
949
01:06:40,913 --> 01:06:42,873
You listen to me, Jim.
950
01:06:42,915 --> 01:06:45,792
You had Bob framed for that killing.
951
01:06:45,834 --> 01:06:48,044
You said you would get him and you did.
952
01:06:48,086 --> 01:06:50,254
What's the idea?
953
01:06:50,297 --> 01:06:53,383
What are you trying
to frame up on me here?
954
01:07:00,057 --> 01:07:04,037
I guess that'll be all, warden.
955
01:07:04,061 --> 01:07:05,937
Oh, Mary.
956
01:07:13,946 --> 01:07:17,199
Jim, those two women need that boy.
957
01:07:17,241 --> 01:07:21,741
If there's anything you can say
that will help them, say it now.
958
01:07:24,122 --> 01:07:26,624
Home, James.
959
01:07:39,805 --> 01:07:44,244
I don't see how I can
win him off for you folks.
960
01:07:44,268 --> 01:07:48,164
You mean,
you mean you won't reopen the case?
961
01:07:48,188 --> 01:07:50,416
There's nothing I can do.
962
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:52,608
The only chance we had
was for him to confess.
963
01:07:52,651 --> 01:07:54,277
But it was clear from his attitude.
964
01:07:54,319 --> 01:07:57,989
- Surely you could see...
- Attitudes don't count, I'm sorry.
965
01:07:58,031 --> 01:08:00,450
We need evidence.
966
01:08:28,478 --> 01:08:30,813
All right, lock him up!
967
01:08:58,050 --> 01:09:00,486
I guess you'd like to get close to Moran,
wouldn't you?
968
01:09:00,510 --> 01:09:02,155
Well, you're not going to!
969
01:09:02,179 --> 01:09:03,865
Why not?
970
01:09:03,889 --> 01:09:05,098
I wouldn't hurt him.
971
01:09:05,140 --> 01:09:06,909
Not much, you wouldn't.
972
01:09:06,933 --> 01:09:08,703
I can't quite get your angle.
973
01:09:08,727 --> 01:09:11,080
Aren't you satisfied he's
going to be executed?
974
01:09:11,104 --> 01:09:12,540
What more do you want?
975
01:09:12,564 --> 01:09:15,650
I don't settle my debts that way.
976
01:09:15,692 --> 01:09:18,277
I'm going to get him myself.
977
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:21,197
If you ever get any closer to him
than you are right now,
978
01:09:21,239 --> 01:09:23,866
it'll be over my dead body!
979
01:10:03,031 --> 01:10:07,531
Dearly beloved, we are gathered together
here in sight of God
980
01:10:08,370 --> 01:10:12,870
and in the face of this company to join together
this man and this woman in holy matrimony,
981
01:10:16,253 --> 01:10:20,753
which is an honorable estate
and is not by any to be entered into
982
01:10:20,966 --> 01:10:25,466
unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently.
983
01:10:26,179 --> 01:10:30,679
Into this holy estate, these two
persons present come now to be joined.
984
01:10:31,309 --> 01:10:35,809
If any man can show just cause why
they may not lawfully be joined together,
985
01:10:36,606 --> 01:10:41,106
let him now speak or else hereafter
forever hold his peace.
986
01:10:43,321 --> 01:10:46,907
Wilt thou have this woman
to be thy wedded wife?
987
01:10:46,950 --> 01:10:51,450
Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor
and keep her in sickness and in health,
988
01:10:53,582 --> 01:10:58,082
and forsaking all others, keep thee only
unto her so long as you both shall live?
989
01:11:02,174 --> 01:11:03,651
I Will.
990
01:11:03,675 --> 01:11:06,946
Wilt thou have this man
to be thy wedded husband?
991
01:11:06,970 --> 01:11:11,470
Wilt thou obey him and serve him, love,
honor, and keep him in sickness and in health,
992
01:11:14,102 --> 01:11:18,602
and forsaking all others, keep thee only
unto him so long as you both shall live?
993
01:11:22,611 --> 01:11:24,112
I Will.
994
01:11:24,154 --> 01:11:28,032
Who giveth this woman
to be married to this man?
995
01:11:29,868 --> 01:11:31,619
I do.
996
01:11:34,372 --> 01:11:37,041
Repeat after me.
997
01:11:37,083 --> 01:11:41,583
- With this ring I thee wed.
- With this ring I thee wed.
998
01:11:42,923 --> 01:11:47,423
- And with all my worldly goods, I thee endow.
- And with all my worldly goods, I thee endow.
999
01:11:53,016 --> 01:11:57,516
Those whom God hath joined together,
let no man put asunder.
1000
01:11:58,271 --> 01:12:02,441
I now pronounce you man and wife.
1001
01:12:02,484 --> 01:12:04,235
Oh, my poor children.
1002
01:12:04,277 --> 01:12:06,862
Oh, my poor children!
1003
01:12:06,905 --> 01:12:10,116
I'm sorry but your time is up.
1004
01:12:12,118 --> 01:12:13,744
You'll have to go now, Mrs. Moran.
1005
01:12:13,787 --> 01:12:15,246
Oh, my boy!
1006
01:12:15,288 --> 01:12:17,790
Just a minute, warden.
1007
01:12:19,835 --> 01:12:24,335
Let me be the first
to give them a wedding present.
1008
01:12:24,923 --> 01:12:28,444
Moran doesn't belong in here.
1009
01:12:28,468 --> 01:12:30,947
They were right.
1010
01:12:30,971 --> 01:12:33,765
I had him framed.
1011
01:12:39,729 --> 01:12:42,208
Jim.
1012
01:12:42,232 --> 01:12:44,234
You keep out of this.
1013
01:12:44,276 --> 01:12:48,776
I'm talking to the warden,
and get away from me
1014
01:12:49,239 --> 01:12:52,659
before I change my mind.
1015
01:12:52,701 --> 01:12:55,245
What did he say, dear?
What did he say?
1016
01:12:55,287 --> 01:12:58,581
He means that Bob is going to be free now.
1017
01:13:05,881 --> 01:13:08,174
You're to blame for this!
1018
01:13:08,216 --> 01:13:11,070
I've been in this racket now for 30 years
1019
01:13:11,094 --> 01:13:14,198
and this is the first time
I ever saw anything like this happen.
1020
01:13:14,222 --> 01:13:17,577
Four hours before an execution!
1021
01:13:17,601 --> 01:13:21,539
Before anything else happens, I'm going
to call up the governor and get a stay.
1022
01:13:21,563 --> 01:13:24,524
Maybe you better take my statement first.
1023
01:13:24,566 --> 01:13:26,234
I know what to do!
1024
01:13:26,276 --> 01:13:28,486
I've been running a jail all my life.
1025
01:13:28,528 --> 01:13:32,240
Don't you try to teach me my business.
1026
01:13:32,282 --> 01:13:35,535
Come on, you two,
you've just got to go now.
1027
01:13:35,577 --> 01:13:37,704
You'll have to leave now, madam.
1028
01:13:40,624 --> 01:13:42,292
I knew you'd come through, Jim.
1029
01:13:42,334 --> 01:13:44,252
Oh, leave me alone.
1030
01:13:44,294 --> 01:13:46,379
Oh, thank you.
1031
01:13:46,421 --> 01:13:49,006
Thank you, Mr. Thunderbolt.
1032
01:14:04,564 --> 01:14:06,649
Go on, close it.
1033
01:14:23,166 --> 01:14:25,251
You've done a wonderful thing, Jim.
1034
01:14:27,462 --> 01:14:30,882
Well, I've been here a long time now
1035
01:14:30,924 --> 01:14:35,424
and I'm shuffling off
at the end of the week.
1036
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:40,220
I've had a lot of time
to think things over.
1037
01:14:50,193 --> 01:14:52,195
Better lie down, Bob.
1038
01:14:52,237 --> 01:14:55,114
Try and get some sleep.
1039
01:14:55,156 --> 01:14:56,782
I wanna speak to him.
1040
01:14:56,825 --> 01:14:58,785
I wanna thank him.
1041
01:14:58,827 --> 01:15:02,080
I wanna shake his hand.
1042
01:15:02,122 --> 01:15:06,622
We'll shake hands on Saturday when I go.
1043
01:15:10,171 --> 01:15:12,381
Hey, Thunderbolt!
1044
01:15:12,424 --> 01:15:15,069
What's the idea, you going nuts?
1045
01:15:15,093 --> 01:15:18,012
I thought you didn't like that guy!
1046
01:15:25,937 --> 01:15:28,791
A little music, professor.
1047
01:15:28,815 --> 01:15:33,315
<i>Summertime, summertime</i>
1048
01:15:33,695 --> 01:15:38,195
<i>We will be together in sunny weather</i>
1049
01:15:38,366 --> 01:15:42,703
<i>Down the lane once again</i>
1050
01:15:42,746 --> 01:15:46,875
<i>Sweetheart, you and I!</i>
1051
01:15:46,916 --> 01:15:51,211
<i>Summertime, summertime</i>
1052
01:15:51,254 --> 01:15:55,754
<i>Wedding bells will chime</i>
1053
01:15:56,426 --> 01:15:59,196
<i>All will be sunny</i>
1054
01:15:59,220 --> 01:16:01,513
<i>Peaches, cream, and honey</i>
1055
01:16:01,556 --> 01:16:06,056
<i>In the summertime</i>
1056
01:16:10,690 --> 01:16:12,983
Aw, now don't argue with me.
1057
01:16:13,026 --> 01:16:17,526
I just left Thunderbolt playing checkers
with Moran and I know what I'm talking about.
1058
01:16:18,239 --> 01:16:20,407
He had to get Moran reprieved.
1059
01:16:20,450 --> 01:16:24,162
He's always had his mind set on
bumping off this cluck all by his self
1060
01:16:24,204 --> 01:16:27,999
and this is the only way he could do it.
1061
01:16:28,041 --> 01:16:31,252
You guys give me a pain.
1062
01:16:31,294 --> 01:16:33,713
No imagination.
1063
01:16:36,091 --> 01:16:40,591
He's gonna wait until they opens up the
door to take him for the last walk, see?
1064
01:16:42,472 --> 01:16:46,869
Then he's gonna go over to say goodbye
to the boyfriend.
1065
01:16:46,893 --> 01:16:48,871
Now, get me.
1066
01:16:48,895 --> 01:16:51,791
I'm Thunderbolt and you're the kid, see?
1067
01:16:51,815 --> 01:16:55,544
They opens up the cell door
and starts me for the walk.
1068
01:16:55,568 --> 01:17:00,068
Then I goes over to say goodbye
to the boyfriend.
1069
01:17:01,116 --> 01:17:03,952
I sticks out the left hand.
1070
01:17:03,993 --> 01:17:05,285
See, boys?
1071
01:17:05,328 --> 01:17:09,540
This is the minute
that Thunderbolt's been waiting for.
1072
01:17:09,582 --> 01:17:13,961
Well, "80 long, pal," I says.
1073
01:17:14,003 --> 01:17:18,503
And then socko right through the bar.
1074
01:17:32,272 --> 01:17:33,690
All right.
1075
01:17:36,359 --> 01:17:39,195
Hey, wait a minute.
1076
01:17:39,237 --> 01:17:42,156
This invitation is for
last week's execution.
1077
01:17:42,198 --> 01:17:46,698
What do you think we do here,
give out rain checks?
1078
01:17:46,870 --> 01:17:48,162
Out.
1079
01:17:51,624 --> 01:17:53,208
What a heart.
1080
01:17:53,251 --> 01:17:55,294
Good for a hundred years.
1081
01:17:57,380 --> 01:17:59,632
It oughta be.
1082
01:17:59,674 --> 01:18:02,259
It's only been jilted once.
1083
01:18:04,345 --> 01:18:07,848
She's Mrs. Moran now.
1084
01:18:22,989 --> 01:18:25,783
Hey, gimme a light, will you, Timothy?
1085
01:18:33,333 --> 01:18:34,500
What's the matter, Moran?
1086
01:18:34,542 --> 01:18:39,042
Aren't you happy
now that you're getting out of here?
1087
01:18:39,088 --> 01:18:40,798
I'm not worried about myself.
1088
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:43,652
I'm getting out in a couple of weeks
the warden said.
1089
01:18:43,676 --> 01:18:45,905
I'm worried about you.
1090
01:18:45,929 --> 01:18:48,640
Don't you worry about me.
1091
01:18:53,144 --> 01:18:56,457
Hey, Timothy, these clothes don't fit me.
1092
01:18:56,481 --> 01:18:58,083
Take a squint at them.
1093
01:18:58,107 --> 01:19:00,609
How do you think I'm going to look?
1094
01:19:00,652 --> 01:19:03,154
What do you care how you're going to look?
1095
01:19:03,196 --> 01:19:06,032
You're not going anywhere.
1096
01:19:06,074 --> 01:19:09,452
And my name is not Timothy!
1097
01:19:09,494 --> 01:19:11,078
Well, don't get sore about it.
1098
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:13,872
I'll guess it before I'm through.
1099
01:19:19,087 --> 01:19:22,882
Come on, boy, we got
a couple of minutes more to play.
1100
01:20:14,017 --> 01:20:18,517
Whereas... give me your attention, Jim.
1101
01:20:18,563 --> 01:20:21,065
Whereas at a trial time on the...
1102
01:20:23,568 --> 01:20:27,280
You don't need to read
that death warrant to me, warden.
1103
01:20:27,322 --> 01:20:30,450
I know it backwards.
1104
01:20:30,491 --> 01:20:32,261
- I beg your pardon...
- Don't you bother me now
1105
01:20:32,285 --> 01:20:34,662
when I've got my mind
full of a million details.
1106
01:20:34,704 --> 01:20:36,414
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir, no, sir!
1107
01:20:36,456 --> 01:20:38,207
Yes, sir.
1108
01:20:40,501 --> 01:20:42,669
I knew I'd forgotten something.
1109
01:20:42,712 --> 01:20:43,921
What do you want for lunch?
1110
01:20:43,963 --> 01:20:45,441
You can have anything you want, you know.
1111
01:20:45,465 --> 01:20:47,276
All we've got to do is to bring it in.
1112
01:20:47,300 --> 01:20:49,802
Lunch, what time is it?
1113
01:20:49,844 --> 01:20:51,238
Three minutes after eleven.
1114
01:20:51,262 --> 01:20:53,032
What time is the big show?
1115
01:20:53,056 --> 01:20:55,159
11:20.
1116
01:20:55,183 --> 01:20:59,496
So you're going to give
me 17 minutes to eat it, huh?
1117
01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:03,208
Well, I'm not going to bolt
my food down in a hurry.
1118
01:21:03,232 --> 01:21:07,732
I'd have indigestion all afternoon.
1119
01:21:07,820 --> 01:21:09,780
I'll tell you what I would like to have,
warden.
1120
01:21:09,822 --> 01:21:12,282
Anything within reason, Jim.
1121
01:21:12,325 --> 01:21:14,994
- I'd like to have a good shot of...
- Nothing doing.
1122
01:21:15,036 --> 01:21:18,456
The only stuff we've got is in the hospital
and you've got to be sick to get it.
1123
01:21:18,498 --> 01:21:19,582
Well, I'm sick.
1124
01:21:19,624 --> 01:21:21,667
Who's got a better right to be?
1125
01:21:21,709 --> 01:21:23,794
You are sick, aren't you?
1126
01:21:23,836 --> 01:21:26,046
On the level, you don't feel good, do you?
1127
01:21:26,089 --> 01:21:27,882
I feel terrible.
1128
01:21:27,924 --> 01:21:30,527
I feel like I'm going to die.
1129
01:21:30,551 --> 01:21:34,198
Hey, guys, Thunderbolt
says he don't feel so good!
1130
01:21:34,222 --> 01:21:36,724
He feels like he's gonna die!
1131
01:21:42,772 --> 01:21:46,275
Well, I'll see what I can do about
getting you a little something.
1132
01:21:51,656 --> 01:21:53,157
How do you feel, Jim?
1133
01:21:53,199 --> 01:21:54,325
Same as ever.
1134
01:21:54,367 --> 01:21:56,452
The same as ever?
1135
01:21:56,494 --> 01:21:57,953
Yup.
1136
01:21:57,995 --> 01:22:00,497
You and me can't do any business.
1137
01:22:00,540 --> 01:22:04,669
I've lived all my life
without what you stand for
1138
01:22:04,710 --> 01:22:08,213
and I guess I'll have to die the same way.
1139
01:22:08,256 --> 01:22:12,756
You don't mind my sticking around
in case you change your mind?
1140
01:22:13,136 --> 01:22:15,888
Make yourself right at home.
1141
01:22:15,930 --> 01:22:18,033
Hey, Thunderbolt.
1142
01:22:18,057 --> 01:22:22,371
What do you want us to sing
when you're going to your dance?
1143
01:22:22,395 --> 01:22:26,625
I don't know, what have you got?
1144
01:22:26,649 --> 01:22:29,360
Well, how about Brokenhearted?
1145
01:22:29,402 --> 01:22:31,987
That oughta fit you like a glove.
1146
01:22:32,029 --> 01:22:36,158
<i>There she is, my old gal</i>
1147
01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:40,700
<i>There he is, my old pal</i>
1148
01:22:40,913 --> 01:22:45,413
<i>And here am I, brokenhearted</i>
1149
01:22:48,129 --> 01:22:50,840
How do you like that?
1150
01:22:50,882 --> 01:22:53,050
That's not so bad.
1151
01:22:55,219 --> 01:22:57,763
How do you like it, Moran?
1152
01:23:10,276 --> 01:23:12,236
Here you are.
1153
01:23:24,081 --> 01:23:26,208
You better take this, warden.
1154
01:23:26,250 --> 01:23:28,835
You need it worse than I do.
1155
01:23:36,886 --> 01:23:39,323
I certainly did need it.
1156
01:23:39,347 --> 01:23:41,783
You ought to be glad
you haven't got my job.
1157
01:23:41,807 --> 01:23:44,601
You have no idea what I go through.
1158
01:23:57,949 --> 01:23:59,617
Don't you worry, boy.
1159
01:23:59,659 --> 01:24:02,536
It's me that's going, not you.
1160
01:24:02,578 --> 01:24:05,122
- Everything all set?
- Yup!
1161
01:24:12,797 --> 01:24:14,673
Let's go.
1162
01:24:24,684 --> 01:24:26,703
So long, Shorty.
1163
01:24:26,727 --> 01:24:27,829
See you soon.
1164
01:24:27,853 --> 01:24:28,997
Thanks, Thunderbolt.
1165
01:24:29,021 --> 01:24:30,374
Send us a postcard.
1166
01:24:30,398 --> 01:24:34,151
Sure, "X marks my room,
wish you were here."
1167
01:24:34,193 --> 01:24:36,820
Jim, aren't you gonna say goodbye to me?
1168
01:24:36,862 --> 01:24:39,155
Me not say goodbye to you?
1169
01:24:39,198 --> 01:24:41,575
I'll be back in a minute, Moran.
1170
01:24:41,617 --> 01:24:44,286
I'm saving you for the last.
1171
01:24:44,328 --> 01:24:48,165
<i>There she is, my old gal</i>
1172
01:24:48,207 --> 01:24:51,835
<i>There he is, my old pal</i>
1173
01:24:51,877 --> 01:24:56,377
<i>And here am I, brokenhearted</i>
1174
01:25:00,303 --> 01:25:04,616
<i>Mine in May, his in June</i>
1175
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:08,495
<i>She forgot mighty soon</i>
1176
01:25:08,519 --> 01:25:12,291
<i>And here am I, right here</i>
1177
01:25:12,315 --> 01:25:16,068
<i>Brokenhearted</i>
1178
01:25:16,152 --> 01:25:20,614
<i>The last time that we said goodbye</i>
1179
01:25:20,656 --> 01:25:24,534
<i>I knew that she was through</i>
1180
01:25:24,577 --> 01:25:29,077
<i>It's bad enough that I lost her</i>
1181
01:25:29,206 --> 01:25:33,706
<i>I had to lose him too</i>
1182
01:25:33,961 --> 01:25:38,423
<i>There they go, feel their joy</i>
1183
01:25:38,466 --> 01:25:42,779
<i>Happy girl, lucky boy</i>
1184
01:25:42,803 --> 01:25:47,303
<i>And here am I</i>
1185
01:25:47,642 --> 01:25:52,142
<i>Brokenhearted</i>
1186
01:25:59,528 --> 01:26:02,531
So long, pal.
1187
01:26:02,573 --> 01:26:06,243
I wish I could help you now, Jim,
the way you helped me.
1188
01:26:13,876 --> 01:26:18,005
Funny, sizing us two up,
1189
01:26:18,047 --> 01:26:22,547
nobody would ever think
you were the better man.
1190
01:26:23,427 --> 01:26:25,572
You're the better man, Jim.
1191
01:26:25,596 --> 01:26:28,116
You've taught me a let
these last couple of days.
1192
01:26:28,140 --> 01:26:32,640
You'll be seeing Ritzie soon,
won't you, Moran?
1193
01:26:36,315 --> 01:26:40,815
She's a great little girl, isn't she?
1194
01:26:41,153 --> 01:26:45,653
You were pretty lucky
to take her away from me, weren't you?
1195
01:26:46,617 --> 01:26:49,745
I didn't mean to tell you, Jim,
but I guess I will.
1196
01:26:49,787 --> 01:26:51,997
Somehow I think you ought to know.
1197
01:26:52,039 --> 01:26:53,832
I oughta know what?
1198
01:26:53,874 --> 01:26:56,585
I didn't take her away from you, Jim.
1199
01:26:56,627 --> 01:26:59,504
It was you that took her away from me.
1200
01:27:04,510 --> 01:27:07,155
I took her away from you?
1201
01:27:07,179 --> 01:27:11,679
We've always been sweethearts,
since we were kids, and then she met you.
1202
01:27:12,601 --> 01:27:16,498
I didn't amount to much
and she thought you were wonderful.
1203
01:27:16,522 --> 01:27:21,022
She never told me anything about that.
1204
01:27:23,195 --> 01:27:26,198
I guess I was nothing to brag about.
1205
01:27:32,163 --> 01:27:36,663
I always did have a peculiar habit of
taking things that didn't belong to me.
1206
01:27:40,004 --> 01:27:42,589
That's why I'm here.
1207
01:27:53,225 --> 01:27:57,725
You're kinda crazy about her, aren't you?
1208
01:27:57,855 --> 01:28:01,042
I love her, Jim.
1209
01:28:01,066 --> 01:28:05,566
Well, I guess I do too.
1210
01:28:05,696 --> 01:28:08,365
I still do.
1211
01:28:20,169 --> 01:28:21,795
Good luck, kid.
1212
01:28:21,837 --> 01:28:24,089
Good luck to you both.
1213
01:28:24,131 --> 01:28:27,134
Give her my love.
1214
01:28:27,176 --> 01:28:30,304
And take care of her, whatever you do.
1215
01:28:54,912 --> 01:28:59,412
Well, chaplain,
I might as well give you a break too.
1216
01:28:59,875 --> 01:29:01,918
Come on.
1217
01:29:27,736 --> 01:29:30,029
So long, old timer.
1218
01:29:30,072 --> 01:29:33,241
And don't take any wooden biscuits.
1219
01:29:39,039 --> 01:29:41,124
Hey, Dinty.
1220
01:29:41,166 --> 01:29:45,420
Come here, will ya,
and give me one more light?
1221
01:30:01,770 --> 01:30:04,791
Here, Dinty, I guess I'll quit smoking.
1222
01:30:04,815 --> 01:30:08,193
Thanks, and my name isn't Dinty.
1223
01:30:08,235 --> 01:30:12,322
And before you go, I want you to know
that my name is Aloysius
1224
01:30:12,364 --> 01:30:14,324
and you didn't guess it.
1225
01:30:16,076 --> 01:30:18,995
- Your name is what?
- Aloysius.
1226
01:30:22,458 --> 01:30:24,751
What did you say your name was?
1227
01:30:24,793 --> 01:30:27,754
Aloysius and you didn't guess it.
1228
01:30:31,342 --> 01:30:33,987
Who would've guessed it?
1229
01:30:34,011 --> 01:30:35,804
<i>No...</i>
1230
01:30:46,857 --> 01:30:48,984

Thunderbolt Jim Lang (George Bancroft), wanted on robbery and murder charges, ventures out with his girl, "Ritzy" (Fay Wray), to a Harlem nightclub, where she informs him that she is going straight. During a raid on the club, Thunderbolt escapes. His gang shadows Ritzy and reports that she is living with Mrs. Moran (Eugenie Besserer), whose son, Bob (Richard Arlen), a bank clerk, is in love with Ritzy. Fearing for Bob's safety, Ritzy engineers a police trap for Thunderbolt; he escapes but is later captured, tried, and sentenced to be executed at Sing Sing. From the death house, he successfully plots to frame Bob in a bank robbery and killing. Bob is placed in the facing cell, and guards frustrate Thunderbolt's attempts to get to his rival. When Ritzy marries Bob in the death house, Thunderbolt confesses his part in Bob's conviction. He plots to kill the boy on the night of his execution, but instead at the last minute his hand falls on Bob's shoulder in a gesture of friendship.

1
00:01:56,866 --> 00:01:58,051
Eleven o'clock.
2
00:01:58,075 --> 00:02:00,035
I didn't know it was so late.
3
00:02:06,584 --> 00:02:07,751
Goodnight.
4
00:02:07,793 --> 00:02:09,503
Goodnight, dear.
5
00:02:19,180 --> 00:02:21,015
Oh, Bob!
6
00:02:24,185 --> 00:02:26,103
You've got my gloves.
7
00:02:27,688 --> 00:02:30,899
That's funny, there's a pair of gloves
in my pocket.
8
00:02:30,941 --> 00:02:32,776
Are these yours?
9
00:02:33,778 --> 00:02:36,030
Let me put them on for you.
10
00:02:41,410 --> 00:02:43,829
Bob, I really must go now.
11
00:02:47,208 --> 00:02:48,709
Goodnight.
12
00:02:48,751 --> 00:02:53,251
And, honey, you will be on time
tomorrow night, won't you?
13
00:02:53,297 --> 00:02:55,859
You were late tonight
and I was worried.
14
00:02:55,883 --> 00:02:58,510
I'll try awfully hard, Bob.
15
00:03:16,862 --> 00:03:19,865
Just drive down the street a bit,
I'll tell you where to go later.
16
00:03:25,162 --> 00:03:26,830
I'll tell you where to go right now.
17
00:03:26,872 --> 00:03:28,832
Police headquarters.
18
00:03:47,727 --> 00:03:49,770
Go on, get up there.
19
00:03:56,026 --> 00:03:58,570
Well, well, well, if it isn't Ritzie.
20
00:03:58,612 --> 00:04:01,281
This is indeed an honor and a pleasure.
21
00:04:03,868 --> 00:04:06,370
It takes so little to give some
people pleasure, doesn't it?
22
00:04:06,412 --> 00:04:08,247
Where's Thunderbolt?
23
00:04:08,289 --> 00:04:10,541
- Who?
- Don't try any of that stuff on me.
24
00:04:10,583 --> 00:04:12,293
You know who I mean.
25
00:04:12,334 --> 00:04:13,974
In case your memory
has suddenly left you,
26
00:04:14,003 --> 00:04:17,149
let me remind you of Jim Lang,
sometimes called Jim Carson,
27
00:04:17,173 --> 00:04:20,277
sometimes called... well, sometimes
called anything in the world
28
00:04:20,301 --> 00:04:22,678
but always known as Thunderbolt.
29
00:04:26,557 --> 00:04:29,619
I suppose that you've never even heard
of the Hellinger case.
30
00:04:29,643 --> 00:04:32,228
Or the million-dollar
St. Louis Terminal job.
31
00:04:32,313 --> 00:04:36,813
Or the time that he held up
the Iroquois Bank single-handed.
32
00:04:36,984 --> 00:04:40,404
He's wanted right now by nine states
for bank robbery,
33
00:04:40,446 --> 00:04:44,946
and there's two more that'd like to
talk to him on a little matter of murder.
34
00:04:45,242 --> 00:04:47,953
Now maybe you can remember who he is.
35
00:04:49,371 --> 00:04:52,165
Quit your stalling. Where is he?
36
00:04:52,208 --> 00:04:54,418
I don't know what you're talking about.
37
00:04:54,460 --> 00:04:58,297
Don't you try to Ritz me, Ritzie.
38
00:05:02,384 --> 00:05:04,196
Where did you see him last?
39
00:05:04,220 --> 00:05:05,655
I don't remember.
40
00:05:05,679 --> 00:05:07,449
Oh, you won't talk, eh?
41
00:05:07,473 --> 00:05:09,534
Well, maybe you can tell me this.
42
00:05:09,558 --> 00:05:13,538
Who was the other half of the bench picnic
in the park tonight?
43
00:05:13,562 --> 00:05:15,730
Bench picnic?
44
00:05:15,773 --> 00:05:18,525
I was in the park tonight
but I was alone.
45
00:05:18,567 --> 00:05:20,735
Your men must be seeing double, Inspector.
46
00:05:20,778 --> 00:05:24,114
Oh, my men were seeing double,
were they?
47
00:05:26,575 --> 00:05:29,828
Well, here's the other half
of what they saw.
48
00:05:38,671 --> 00:05:40,190
I've had enough of this stalling.
49
00:05:40,214 --> 00:05:43,235
You two have been meeting night after night
for months and I know it.
50
00:05:43,259 --> 00:05:44,986
Well, supposing we have been meeting.
51
00:05:45,010 --> 00:05:46,655
Being in love is no crime yet.
52
00:05:46,679 --> 00:05:48,490
Maybe not,
but being in love with her
53
00:05:48,514 --> 00:05:51,642
is apt to cause you a lot of trouble,
young fellow.
54
00:05:53,561 --> 00:05:55,437
I wonder if you know
that she is the girlfriend
55
00:05:55,479 --> 00:05:58,190
of the most notorious criminal
this state has ever known.
56
00:05:58,232 --> 00:05:59,918
She's been a member of his gang
for two years,
57
00:05:59,942 --> 00:06:01,360
ever since she met him.
58
00:06:01,402 --> 00:06:02,820
I don't know
a woman in this city
59
00:06:02,862 --> 00:06:05,281
that knows more about him
and his affairs than she does.
60
00:06:05,322 --> 00:06:07,824
I know all about that.
That's all over now.
61
00:06:07,867 --> 00:06:09,761
- Where's Thunderbolt?
- I don't know and I don't care.
62
00:06:09,785 --> 00:06:12,496
- What do you do for a living?
- I work at a bank.
63
00:06:13,622 --> 00:06:17,917
How would you like to lose your job
and maybe work in a penitentiary?
64
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,062
That's where you're headed...
65
00:06:19,086 --> 00:06:21,129
You let him alone.
66
00:06:22,256 --> 00:06:23,483
He's on the level.
67
00:06:23,507 --> 00:06:25,443
He's got nothing to do with that crowd.
68
00:06:25,467 --> 00:06:28,613
Listen, Ritzie, you're a smart girl
and you can save yourself a lot of trouble
69
00:06:28,637 --> 00:06:30,740
by giving us a line on Thunderbolt.
70
00:06:30,764 --> 00:06:33,201
You know we can make it pretty hot for you.
71
00:06:33,225 --> 00:06:35,537
You've got nothing on me
and you know it.
72
00:06:35,561 --> 00:06:38,355
If you had,
you'd have locked me up long ago.
73
00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:40,858
I'm through with that mob for good.
74
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:45,400
Whatever mistakes I've made,
I've paid for in my own way.
75
00:06:47,865 --> 00:06:48,907
What do you say, Chief?
76
00:06:48,949 --> 00:06:51,034
Shall I take 'em down and book 'em?
77
00:06:51,076 --> 00:06:52,577
Never mind.
78
00:06:52,620 --> 00:06:55,456
You can go now.
79
00:06:55,497 --> 00:06:57,540
Let her go.
80
00:07:08,427 --> 00:07:10,429
Goodnight, Inspector.
81
00:07:11,555 --> 00:07:13,223
And thank you.
82
00:07:19,939 --> 00:07:22,358
Don't let that dame out of your sight.
83
00:07:22,399 --> 00:07:26,361
Thunderbolt will go through an iron wall
to see her.
84
00:07:26,403 --> 00:07:29,114
And we want to be there
when they meet.
85
00:07:29,156 --> 00:07:31,616
There's always the chance
of nabbing him
86
00:07:31,659 --> 00:07:34,244
as long as she's out.
87
00:08:05,234 --> 00:08:08,320
Good evening, Mr. Th-Th-Thunderbolt.
88
00:08:08,362 --> 00:08:09,946
I got your phone call.
89
00:08:09,989 --> 00:08:13,409
- The the best in the house.
- All right, Oscar.
90
00:08:16,745 --> 00:08:18,788
Check your hat, sir?
91
00:08:19,957 --> 00:08:21,458
No thanks.
92
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:24,377
I never know
when I'm going to leave in a hurry.
93
00:08:25,587 --> 00:08:28,506
I always like to have my hat be with me.
94
00:08:30,801 --> 00:08:34,280
Say, boy, am I seeing right?
95
00:08:34,304 --> 00:08:35,907
Is that Thunderbolt?
96
00:08:35,931 --> 00:08:38,159
Does that mean
there's gonna be any trouble?
97
00:08:38,183 --> 00:08:39,244
Maybe not.
98
00:08:39,268 --> 00:08:41,770
I'm keeping one foot (unintelligible).
99
00:09:12,885 --> 00:09:16,406
Say, (unintelligible) Thunderbolt?
100
00:09:16,430 --> 00:09:20,930
He hits you with that big right soupbone
and just ruins you,
101
00:09:21,060 --> 00:09:23,520
all in one little smackeroo.
102
00:09:23,604 --> 00:09:25,522
That's why they call him Thunderbolt.
103
00:09:25,606 --> 00:09:27,858
Say, one little piece of lead
104
00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:31,612
and the littlest guy'
leave even
as big... The biggest man dead.
105
00:09:31,653 --> 00:09:34,656
Say, why don't nobody take a shot at him?
106
00:09:34,698 --> 00:09:37,409
Well,
the cemetery's full of them that missed.
107
00:09:38,494 --> 00:09:40,662
Let's have some real service, Oscar.
108
00:09:40,704 --> 00:09:43,415
And your r-r-regular order, sir?
109
00:09:43,457 --> 00:09:44,499
Right.
110
00:09:44,541 --> 00:09:46,459
What are you going to have, baby?
111
00:09:46,502 --> 00:09:47,628
Nothing.
112
00:09:48,754 --> 00:09:52,192
That means she'll have a chicken sandwich
and a glass of milk.
113
00:09:52,216 --> 00:09:54,468
Y-y-yes, boss, yes.
114
00:09:57,721 --> 00:09:59,908
What's the matter, Ritzie,
what are you sore about?
115
00:09:59,932 --> 00:10:01,409
I'm not sore.
116
00:10:01,433 --> 00:10:03,810
What good would it do if I were?
117
00:10:07,272 --> 00:10:08,356
What are you looking at?
118
00:10:08,398 --> 00:10:12,777
I'm looking at nothing,
and it's wearing a tuxedo.
119
00:10:14,863 --> 00:10:15,989
Who are you talking to?
120
00:10:16,031 --> 00:10:18,259
Stay right with him, baby.
Don't let him get away with anything.
121
00:10:18,283 --> 00:10:20,410
You might be lightning
to a lot of people,
122
00:10:20,452 --> 00:10:23,580
but you're just a wet match to me.
123
00:10:37,094 --> 00:10:39,280
Say, you big bozo.
124
00:10:39,304 --> 00:10:41,533
That ain't no way to treat a lady.
125
00:10:41,557 --> 00:10:42,599
No?
126
00:10:44,226 --> 00:10:45,268
Give me that gun.
127
00:10:49,398 --> 00:10:52,943
So you don't like the way I treat a lady,
huh?
128
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,699
I ain't gonna wait
for that ham sandwich another minute.
129
00:10:58,740 --> 00:11:00,199
I ain't hungry. Is you?
130
00:11:00,242 --> 00:11:01,886
Oh boy, somebody better call an ambulance.
131
00:11:01,910 --> 00:11:04,203
You wait till I get home,
I'm gonna tell my husband.
132
00:11:04,246 --> 00:11:07,290
L-I-lady, why don't you stop?
133
00:11:07,332 --> 00:11:09,769
- There's gonna be trouble in here in a minute.
- I'm all wet.
134
00:11:09,793 --> 00:11:12,587
I told you he was gon' hit her.
135
00:11:12,629 --> 00:11:16,132
- Take it easy, huh, be careful.
- Are they gonna shoot again?
136
00:11:19,219 --> 00:11:21,239
- Snapper.
- Wait a minute.
137
00:11:21,263 --> 00:11:22,740
Get back there.
138
00:11:22,764 --> 00:11:25,285
Where do you guys think you're going?
139
00:11:25,309 --> 00:11:26,578
Watch 'em, Jimmy.
140
00:11:26,602 --> 00:11:28,204
I wanna go home.
141
00:11:28,228 --> 00:11:29,270
Sit down.
142
00:11:29,313 --> 00:11:32,733
Hey, the two of you men,
143
00:11:32,774 --> 00:11:34,692
clean up this mess out here.
144
00:11:34,735 --> 00:11:36,278
(unintelligible).
145
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,696
Everything all right, chief?
146
00:11:37,738 --> 00:11:38,905
Tough crowd here tonight.
147
00:11:38,947 --> 00:11:40,633
Yeah, how do you feel tonight, Snapper?
148
00:11:40,657 --> 00:11:42,367
Oh, fine, chief.
149
00:11:42,409 --> 00:11:43,827
Hello there, Ritzie.
150
00:11:43,869 --> 00:11:45,036
Have some nuts.
151
00:11:45,078 --> 00:11:46,245
Great for the system.
152
00:11:46,288 --> 00:11:48,415
Fills up the body.
153
00:11:48,457 --> 00:11:50,709
How about your mind?
154
00:11:55,172 --> 00:11:57,066
What do we do with her, Snapper?
155
00:11:57,090 --> 00:12:01,362
Oh, drag that cluck outta here, will ya?
156
00:12:01,386 --> 00:12:04,490
A couple of yous guys.
157
00:12:04,514 --> 00:12:06,265
Let me help you, Snapper.
158
00:12:07,142 --> 00:12:09,329
Hey, lay off that, will ya?
159
00:12:09,353 --> 00:12:11,897
That's my trigger finger.
160
00:12:11,939 --> 00:12:14,191
What a fine night this is.
161
00:12:15,234 --> 00:12:18,237
Oh, uh, listen up, boy.
162
00:12:18,278 --> 00:12:21,197
Oh, uh, oh, uh, get out of here.
163
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,282
Music, boys.
164
00:12:29,706 --> 00:12:33,251
I suppose you thought it was funny
starting that ruckus.
165
00:12:34,127 --> 00:12:37,023
Strikes me you could stand
a little cooling off.
166
00:12:37,047 --> 00:12:39,067
How would you like
a dose of it yourself?
167
00:12:39,091 --> 00:12:40,151
Go right ahead.
168
00:12:40,175 --> 00:12:42,760
I wouldn't put it past you for a minute.
169
00:12:49,393 --> 00:12:53,438
<i>When night is creepin'
and I should be sleepin' in bed</i>
170
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,608
What are you trying to do, baby,
get me sore?
171
00:12:56,650 --> 00:13:00,713
<i>If you were peepin'
you'd find that I'm weepin' instead</i>
172
00:13:00,737 --> 00:13:03,573
Jim, I'm going to quit.
173
00:13:03,615 --> 00:13:05,241
What, again?
174
00:13:05,284 --> 00:13:06,493
I mean it this time.
175
00:13:06,535 --> 00:13:08,245
I've been trying to tell you.
176
00:13:08,287 --> 00:13:10,539
I'm not going on with it anymore.
177
00:13:10,580 --> 00:13:13,082
- <i>I'm</i> through.
<i>- Night after night</i>
178
00:13:13,125 --> 00:13:14,543
Through with what?
179
00:13:14,584 --> 00:13:17,897
What are you talking about?
180
00:13:17,921 --> 00:13:19,399
All this.
181
00:13:19,423 --> 00:13:21,401
These people.
182
00:13:21,425 --> 00:13:22,467
You.
183
00:13:25,887 --> 00:13:29,075
<i>No one can fill
that vacant chair</i>
184
00:13:29,099 --> 00:13:31,035
We're going to have this out right now.
185
00:13:31,059 --> 00:13:32,870
<i>When you're not there</i>
186
00:13:32,894 --> 00:13:37,394
<i>No need to knock,
the door is open for you</i>
187
00:13:38,608 --> 00:13:41,944
<i>-Please, daddy</i>
-We'll <i>find</i> a place where <i>we can</i> talk.
188
00:13:43,947 --> 00:13:44,989
Come on.
189
00:13:47,075 --> 00:13:51,162
<i>Daddy, do you have to roam so very long?</i>
190
00:13:51,204 --> 00:13:52,872
Come on.
191
00:13:52,914 --> 00:13:57,414
<i>There's lots of other new sheiks
who would like to be sheikin'</i>
192
00:13:57,961 --> 00:13:59,837
Come on, baby.
193
00:14:00,881 --> 00:14:05,381
<i>Daddy, daddy, daddy,
won't you please come home?</i>
194
00:14:08,597 --> 00:14:11,743
<i>Night after night, I'm or yin'</i>
195
00:14:11,767 --> 00:14:15,079
<i>Daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
196
00:14:15,103 --> 00:14:18,022
<i>Daddy,
won't you please come home?</i>
197
00:14:18,065 --> 00:14:22,069
<i>I'm so lonesome</i>
198
00:14:22,110 --> 00:14:25,196
<i>No one can fill
that vacant chair</i>
199
00:14:25,238 --> 00:14:28,532
<i>Home isn't home
if you're not there</i>
200
00:14:28,575 --> 00:14:33,075
<i>No need to knock,
the door is open for you</i>
201
00:14:33,955 --> 00:14:35,373
<i>Sweet daddy</i>
202
00:14:35,415 --> 00:14:38,626
<i>Even the clock keeps tickin'</i>
203
00:14:38,668 --> 00:14:41,981
<i>Daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
204
00:14:42,005 --> 00:14:46,505
<i>Daddy, do you have to roam so very long?</i>
205
00:14:47,552 --> 00:14:52,052
<i>There's lots of other new sheiks
who would like to be sheikin'</i>
206
00:14:52,140 --> 00:14:55,453
<i>Haven't slipped yet,
but I'm liable to weaken</i>
207
00:14:55,477 --> 00:14:59,977
<i>Daddy, daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
208
00:15:13,787 --> 00:15:15,747
I don't get you at all.
209
00:15:15,789 --> 00:15:19,584
You tell me you want to step out tonight,
go somewhere that's lively.
210
00:15:19,626 --> 00:15:22,045
I risk my neck
by walking into this joint,
211
00:15:22,087 --> 00:15:25,191
with all the cops
in the world on my trail.
212
00:15:25,215 --> 00:15:26,984
There's a 10-to-1 shot
there's a couple of dicks
213
00:15:27,008 --> 00:15:30,613
shadowing you right now to get to me.
214
00:15:30,637 --> 00:15:32,657
It's all right with me.
215
00:15:32,681 --> 00:15:35,326
I can take care of myself.
216
00:15:35,350 --> 00:15:38,895
But I do all this,
I take this big chance,
217
00:15:38,937 --> 00:15:40,563
and your idea
of the way to behave
218
00:15:40,605 --> 00:15:44,877
is to start that foolishness
all over again.
219
00:15:44,901 --> 00:15:46,569
What's the big idea?
220
00:15:46,611 --> 00:15:48,070
It's just this, Jim.
221
00:15:48,113 --> 00:15:50,448
I want to be decent again.
222
00:15:50,490 --> 00:15:54,160
Well, babe, you've always been
the most decent kid in the racket.
223
00:15:58,039 --> 00:16:01,917
You know, I used to get a big kick
out of being your girl,
224
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,896
out of knowing that
you'd take a chance on your life
225
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,213
just to see me
for a few minutes.
226
00:16:18,894 --> 00:16:22,105
You're the swellest girl
I ever knew.
227
00:16:25,317 --> 00:16:28,862
You wouldn't want to keep me
if I didn't want to stay, would you, Jim?
228
00:16:28,904 --> 00:16:30,947
Wouldn't I?
229
00:16:32,199 --> 00:16:36,661
I'd keep you with me
if the whole world didn't want you to stay
230
00:16:36,703 --> 00:16:38,663
and make them like it.
231
00:16:38,705 --> 00:16:40,665
That's just it.
232
00:16:40,707 --> 00:16:43,751
I don't want people to respect me
because they're afraid
233
00:16:43,793 --> 00:16:45,753
you'll crush their heads
if they don't.
234
00:16:45,795 --> 00:16:48,733
I don't want the police trailing me
wherever I go.
235
00:16:48,757 --> 00:16:51,968
I don't want people pointing at me
and whispering about me.
236
00:16:52,010 --> 00:16:55,281
All this Ritzie talk, boiled down,
means that you...
237
00:16:55,305 --> 00:16:57,366
You're ashamed of me, huh?
238
00:16:57,390 --> 00:17:00,976
No, just ashamed of myself.
239
00:17:01,019 --> 00:17:03,646
I want to know people
who are different from you and me,
240
00:17:03,688 --> 00:17:06,315
people who lead decent, normal lives.
241
00:17:06,358 --> 00:17:09,194
People who get up in the morning
to go to work.
242
00:17:09,236 --> 00:17:10,779
Regular people.
243
00:17:10,820 --> 00:17:12,905
Oh, don't be a fool.
244
00:17:12,948 --> 00:17:14,824
I don't care what you call me, Jim.
245
00:17:14,866 --> 00:17:17,326
That's the way I'm going
to live from now on.
246
00:17:17,369 --> 00:17:18,995
I'm going to quit.
247
00:17:20,372 --> 00:17:22,874
Well, let me tell you something, Ritzie.
248
00:17:22,916 --> 00:17:25,376
Maybe I'd like to go straight too.
249
00:17:25,418 --> 00:17:27,461
I haven't thought about it much.
250
00:17:27,504 --> 00:17:29,649
Maybe I don't know how.
251
00:17:29,673 --> 00:17:33,468
But as long as I'm going my way,
you're going with me.
252
00:17:35,262 --> 00:17:38,115
You're all I've got
that means anything to me.
253
00:17:38,139 --> 00:17:39,492
Do you think I would...
254
00:17:39,516 --> 00:17:42,352
Oh, come on, let's have a good time.
255
00:17:44,312 --> 00:17:46,897
You'll feel better
in the morning.
256
00:17:57,033 --> 00:17:59,702
Wait a minute.
257
00:17:59,744 --> 00:18:03,330
You haven't fallen for another guy,
have you?
258
00:18:03,373 --> 00:18:05,792
- Who is he?
- There is no other guy, Jim.
259
00:18:05,834 --> 00:18:07,627
It's just that we're through.
260
00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:09,837
You and me will never be through, Ritzie.
261
00:18:09,879 --> 00:18:11,566
Get that straight.
262
00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:15,528
You're my girl and nobody on earth
can take you away from me.
263
00:18:15,552 --> 00:18:19,448
Do you think you could hold me
if I didn't love you anymore?
264
00:18:19,472 --> 00:18:20,992
That don't worry me.
265
00:18:21,016 --> 00:18:24,787
It's the guy that tries to take you away
from me that's got the worrying to do.
266
00:18:24,811 --> 00:18:29,311
Oh, I know, it would be easy enough for you
to get your gang to do anything.
267
00:18:29,482 --> 00:18:33,777
That's one job
I wouldn't let anybody do for me.
268
00:18:36,740 --> 00:18:39,200
Come on, baby.
269
00:18:39,242 --> 00:18:41,327
Come on.
270
00:18:52,213 --> 00:18:55,651
I'd get that guy by myself
271
00:18:55,675 --> 00:19:00,175
if it was the last thing
in this world I ever did.
272
00:19:15,904 --> 00:19:17,196
Uh-oh.
273
00:19:17,238 --> 00:19:21,242
W-w—w-what... what's that n-n-now?
274
00:19:21,284 --> 00:19:24,245
I told you this was gonna happen.
275
00:19:24,287 --> 00:19:27,999
Hey, get off my foot.
276
00:19:28,041 --> 00:19:29,459
Find that light switch.
277
00:19:29,501 --> 00:19:32,003
Don't get excited, folks,
it's only a little raid.
278
00:19:32,045 --> 00:19:34,857
Everybody who can stand to pitch
will kindly keep their seats.
279
00:19:34,881 --> 00:19:38,259
Stand still there or I'll shoot.
280
00:19:40,929 --> 00:19:42,281
Don't move.
281
00:19:42,305 --> 00:19:43,699
I ain't movin', boss.
282
00:19:43,723 --> 00:19:45,975
I've been pushed.
283
00:20:09,833 --> 00:20:11,668
Where is Thunderbolt?
Come clean.
284
00:20:11,710 --> 00:20:13,002
Where is he?
285
00:20:14,587 --> 00:20:16,380
I don't know.
286
00:20:19,008 --> 00:20:21,969
And I don't ever want to know.
287
00:20:45,410 --> 00:20:49,789
I want you men to get this
and get it straight.
288
00:20:49,831 --> 00:20:52,166
It's been two months since Thunderbolt
got away from you
289
00:20:52,208 --> 00:20:54,960
and he's got to be found.
290
00:20:55,003 --> 00:20:58,983
Thunderbolt's girl's been living up
at Young Moran's house for weeks
291
00:20:59,007 --> 00:21:01,277
with the kid and his mother.
292
00:21:01,301 --> 00:21:05,801
Don't tell me that that kid doesn't know
something about Thunderbolt.
293
00:21:07,015 --> 00:21:08,826
Put the works on him.
294
00:21:08,850 --> 00:21:10,578
He'll talk
295
00:21:10,602 --> 00:21:15,102
when it's a question of talking
or being out of a job.
296
00:21:27,035 --> 00:21:28,578
Mr. Corwin wants to see you, Bob.
297
00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:30,622
Okay, Jimmy.
298
00:21:44,427 --> 00:21:46,489
You sent for me, Mr. Corwin?
299
00:21:46,513 --> 00:21:47,555
Yes.
300
00:21:48,723 --> 00:21:49,765
Sit down.
301
00:22:03,279 --> 00:22:04,280
Hello, Mom.
302
00:22:05,448 --> 00:22:07,825
- You're late, Bob.
- Yeah, I stayed overtime.
303
00:22:07,867 --> 00:22:09,827
- Hello, dear.
- Hello.
304
00:22:09,869 --> 00:22:12,162
I'm so glad you're here, Bob,
we were worried.
305
00:22:12,205 --> 00:22:14,790
Oh, I'm sorry, Mary,
but there's nothing to worry about.
306
00:22:14,833 --> 00:22:16,477
Everything was all right at the bank,
wasn't it?
307
00:22:16,501 --> 00:22:18,669
Everything was perfect.
308
00:22:21,506 --> 00:22:23,776
Yes, sir, everything was perfect.
309
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,737
- Until about 4:00.
- What happened about 4:00?
310
00:22:26,761 --> 00:22:27,863
Nothing much.
311
00:22:27,887 --> 00:22:29,740
I just got fired.
312
00:22:29,764 --> 00:22:32,284
That's why I stayed late
to turn over my accounts.
313
00:22:32,308 --> 00:22:33,452
You're joking?
314
00:22:33,476 --> 00:22:35,621
I'm not joking, it's the truth.
315
00:22:35,645 --> 00:22:37,438
What was it, Bob?
What was the matter?
316
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,901
Nothing, Mr. Corwin and I just couldn't
agree on how a bank should be run.
317
00:22:43,069 --> 00:22:44,779
It was on my account, wasn't it?
318
00:22:44,821 --> 00:22:46,298
Don't be silly.
319
00:22:46,322 --> 00:22:48,991
Tell me, Bob, I've got to know.
320
00:22:49,033 --> 00:22:51,201
They just told me
I'd have to make a choice.
321
00:22:51,244 --> 00:22:52,847
Either I'd have to give you up or else...
322
00:22:52,871 --> 00:22:53,955
Or else what?
323
00:22:53,997 --> 00:22:56,082
Just or else, that's all.
324
00:22:56,124 --> 00:22:58,376
Well, I'm glad you quit.
325
00:22:58,418 --> 00:23:02,213
I never could understand
why you wanted to stay at that bank anyhow.
326
00:23:02,255 --> 00:23:04,275
I don't think there was much chance
for you there.
327
00:23:04,299 --> 00:23:07,152
Wherever you go,
they'll always be finding out about me.
328
00:23:07,176 --> 00:23:09,446
Let 'em,
there's nothing to find out about you.
329
00:23:09,470 --> 00:23:12,283
You know, I always thought
you were too good for that place.
330
00:23:12,307 --> 00:23:14,767
They didn't appreciate you.
331
00:23:17,395 --> 00:23:19,438
Oh, don't start crying, dear.
332
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,333
You'll get your nose red.
333
00:23:21,357 --> 00:23:23,734
A thing like this doesn't bother us,
does it, Mom?
334
00:23:23,776 --> 00:23:25,778
We've looked for jobs before.
335
00:23:25,820 --> 00:23:27,298
I should never have come here at all.
336
00:23:27,322 --> 00:23:28,489
I knew it wasn't right.
337
00:23:28,531 --> 00:23:30,533
What wasn't right?
338
00:23:30,575 --> 00:23:34,120
Coming to live here
with you and your mother.
339
00:23:34,162 --> 00:23:36,247
You've been wonderful to me.
340
00:23:36,289 --> 00:23:38,666
And this is the way
I'm repaying you,
341
00:23:38,708 --> 00:23:39,792
getting you discharged.
342
00:23:39,834 --> 00:23:42,419
You're working yourself up
over nothing, Mary.
343
00:23:42,462 --> 00:23:44,815
What if I do lose a job now and then?
344
00:23:44,839 --> 00:23:46,567
What difference does it make?
345
00:23:46,591 --> 00:23:50,070
Come on, let's all go out
and have a good time tonight.
346
00:23:50,094 --> 00:23:52,698
Oh, Bob, your mother's
fixed a lovely supper for us.
347
00:23:52,722 --> 00:23:54,283
The lovely supper will keep.
348
00:23:54,307 --> 00:23:55,367
Bob is right.
349
00:23:55,391 --> 00:23:57,870
What you two need is to go out
and enjoy yourselves.
350
00:23:57,894 --> 00:24:00,289
Yeah,
we can't let a chance like this go by.
351
00:24:00,313 --> 00:24:02,690
I may not get fired again
for a long time.
352
00:24:02,732 --> 00:24:04,483
I've got some mending to do.
353
00:24:04,525 --> 00:24:06,318
You children go along by yourselves.
354
00:24:06,361 --> 00:24:09,030
Come now.
Come and get all dressed up.
355
00:24:09,072 --> 00:24:10,698
There you are.
356
00:24:16,371 --> 00:24:19,832
(unintelligible).
357
00:24:25,755 --> 00:24:27,900
Did someone knock, Bob?
358
00:24:27,924 --> 00:24:30,986
I thought I heard a knock.
359
00:24:31,010 --> 00:24:32,886
There's no one out here.
360
00:24:34,681 --> 00:24:37,117
Come on, get your hat, Bob.
361
00:24:37,141 --> 00:24:38,202
Run along, dear.
362
00:24:38,226 --> 00:24:40,353
- Have a good time.
- Goodnight.
363
00:24:41,396 --> 00:24:43,689
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight, Mom.
364
00:25:15,596 --> 00:25:18,283
Now, don't feel that way.
365
00:25:18,307 --> 00:25:20,475
Nothing important has happened.
366
00:25:20,518 --> 00:25:23,747
The thing that gets me
is that I was expecting a promotion,
367
00:25:23,771 --> 00:25:25,689
and you know what that meant.
368
00:25:25,732 --> 00:25:26,983
I'm not gonna wait any longer.
369
00:25:27,025 --> 00:25:29,861
As soon as I get a job again,
we're going to be married.
370
00:25:29,902 --> 00:25:32,112
There's no sense in waiting.
371
00:25:34,449 --> 00:25:36,409
Well, if it ain't the long lost child.
372
00:25:36,451 --> 00:25:37,469
Hello there, Ritzie.
373
00:25:37,493 --> 00:25:40,162
Well, it was a long time finding ya.
374
00:25:40,204 --> 00:25:41,622
I think you've made a mistake.
375
00:25:41,664 --> 00:25:44,208
You made a mistake, baby,
thinking you could keep out of sight.
376
00:25:44,250 --> 00:25:47,253
- Come on, Bob.
- So this is the old hideaway, is it?
377
00:25:47,295 --> 00:25:50,506
Well, I guess you know Thunderbolt's
been looking high and low for ya, don't ya?
378
00:25:50,548 --> 00:25:51,984
Why didn't you let him know
where you were?
379
00:25:52,008 --> 00:25:53,318
Drop him a postcard or something.
380
00:25:53,342 --> 00:25:55,112
I'm not interested in Thunderbolt.
381
00:25:55,136 --> 00:25:57,698
You're not, huh?
382
00:25:57,722 --> 00:26:02,222
And this is the Kewpie that made a sucker
out of Thunderbolt, huh?
383
00:26:02,643 --> 00:26:05,914
Well, I wouldn't be in your shoes
for all the rice in China.
384
00:26:05,938 --> 00:26:07,397
Stay on the level, Ritzie.
385
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,817
What have you been doing
with yourself all this time?
386
00:26:09,859 --> 00:26:11,277
Take your hand off her.
387
00:26:11,319 --> 00:26:12,504
Don't shove me.
388
00:26:12,528 --> 00:26:14,071
I'll shove ya.
389
00:26:14,113 --> 00:26:15,507
Well, I'll teach you to shove me.
390
00:26:15,531 --> 00:26:17,616
Look out, Bob, he's got a gun!
391
00:26:23,164 --> 00:26:24,641
Come on, Bob, let's go back upstairs.
392
00:26:24,665 --> 00:26:26,875
I'd like to take another sock at that guy.
393
00:26:26,918 --> 00:26:28,252
You've hurt your hand too.
394
00:26:28,294 --> 00:26:29,336
Come on, Bob.
395
00:26:31,714 --> 00:26:35,069
Did you fall downstairs?
396
00:26:35,093 --> 00:26:39,114
- Why, what happened?
- He fell downstairs, the poor man.
397
00:26:39,138 --> 00:26:42,201
I'd put a piece of fresh beef steak
on that eye if I were you.
398
00:26:42,225 --> 00:26:43,786
Well, you ain't me.
399
00:26:43,810 --> 00:26:46,705
My sister always puts a key
down the back of her neck
400
00:26:46,729 --> 00:26:48,480
to stop a nosebleed.
401
00:26:48,523 --> 00:26:51,484
I'll slip something down the back of
your neck if you don't leave me alone.
402
00:26:51,526 --> 00:26:54,195
Where's the nearest telephone
around here?
403
00:26:54,237 --> 00:26:56,781
Well, here,
don't you dare go near there.
404
00:26:56,823 --> 00:27:00,076
Oh, I just hate to see anybody hurt.
405
00:27:01,786 --> 00:27:04,079
Oh, now a squalling baby.
406
00:27:06,165 --> 00:27:08,041
Why, what's the matter?
407
00:27:08,084 --> 00:27:11,128
Nothing.
She talked me out of going out.
408
00:27:11,170 --> 00:27:13,463
You've hurt your hand.
What's happened?
409
00:27:13,506 --> 00:27:15,925
I guess I knocked it
against something.
410
00:27:18,803 --> 00:27:21,597
What's happened, Mary?
411
00:27:21,639 --> 00:27:24,118
We ran into a man I used to know.
412
00:27:24,142 --> 00:27:27,246
He tried to get fresh
and Bob had to hit him.
413
00:27:27,270 --> 00:27:29,814
Oh, I... I see, I...
414
00:27:31,149 --> 00:27:33,151
Well, we'll put something on it.
415
00:27:33,192 --> 00:27:34,419
- Don't bother, Mom.
- No, come on,
416
00:27:34,443 --> 00:27:36,088
we'll wash it out
and put some iodine on it.
417
00:27:36,112 --> 00:27:37,422
I don't want any of that stuff on it.
418
00:27:37,446 --> 00:27:40,240
Took a week for it to
wear off the last time.
419
00:27:41,826 --> 00:27:43,702
I don't want anything on it.
420
00:27:45,037 --> 00:27:46,913
That water could be hot.
421
00:27:48,207 --> 00:27:50,250
Mom, you treat me like I was a baby.
422
00:27:50,293 --> 00:27:51,919
That's all you act like
when you're hurt.
423
00:27:51,961 --> 00:27:53,045
Well, I ain't hurt.
424
00:27:53,087 --> 00:27:55,274
You got me mixed up
with the other guy.
425
00:27:55,298 --> 00:27:56,692
I'll bet you never touched
the other guy.
426
00:27:56,716 --> 00:27:59,820
Yeah? Well, no mother'
be able
to fix him up for a long time.
427
00:27:59,844 --> 00:28:03,013
That's what you say.
I'd like to see him to believe that.
428
00:28:07,143 --> 00:28:09,645
Answer the telephone, Mary.
429
00:28:18,446 --> 00:28:21,907
Mary, answer the telephone.
430
00:28:27,496 --> 00:28:28,538
Hello?
431
00:28:33,711 --> 00:28:36,088
How's every little thing?
432
00:28:40,676 --> 00:28:43,261
I'll be coming up your way.
433
00:28:47,767 --> 00:28:50,370
I can't, eh?
434
00:28:50,394 --> 00:28:52,771
I'll come right down.
435
00:28:52,813 --> 00:28:54,773
What for?
436
00:28:54,815 --> 00:28:57,317
It won't make any difference
to your boyfriend.
437
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,945
You might as well say goodbye
to him now.
438
00:28:59,987 --> 00:29:03,365
I just called up
to give you fair warning.
439
00:29:10,831 --> 00:29:12,976
- Let's put this iodine on it.
- I don't want any iodine.
440
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,752
Now hold still, hold still.
441
00:29:16,545 --> 00:29:18,296
Ouch. Ow!
442
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,277
Now look what you've done.
443
00:29:22,301 --> 00:29:23,820
All over my clean floor.
444
00:29:23,844 --> 00:29:25,679
I'll clean it up.
445
00:29:27,139 --> 00:29:28,325
Not my towels!
446
00:29:28,349 --> 00:29:29,993
Ouch.
447
00:29:30,017 --> 00:29:32,829
Do nothing but buy towels for this place.
448
00:29:32,853 --> 00:29:34,414
Look out there now.
449
00:29:34,438 --> 00:29:37,816
You know I keep
the floor cloths under here.
450
00:29:37,858 --> 00:29:39,067
Look at that iodine.
451
00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:40,486
You never can get that up.
452
00:29:40,528 --> 00:29:42,714
Well, I told you not to bring it out,
didn't I?
453
00:29:42,738 --> 00:29:44,030
I'd like to put some on your...
454
00:29:44,073 --> 00:29:45,908
Jiggers, Mom, I'm gettin' sore now.
455
00:29:45,950 --> 00:29:48,160
Well, what do you do if you get sore?
456
00:29:48,202 --> 00:29:49,846
Well, I'll show you,
I'm bigger than you are.
457
00:29:49,870 --> 00:29:51,580
Yes, well...
458
00:29:51,622 --> 00:29:53,892
- Give me the napkin.
- Not look, you'll get your hands all dirty.
459
00:29:53,916 --> 00:29:55,959
Give me that rag.
Give me that rag.
460
00:29:56,002 --> 00:29:58,629
I'm telling you, there's nothing...
461
00:29:58,671 --> 00:29:59,713
Bob, now, stop it.
462
00:29:59,755 --> 00:30:01,858
You're nothing but a big baby.
463
00:30:01,882 --> 00:30:04,152
NOW Will you stop it?
464
00:30:04,176 --> 00:30:05,218
Let go.
465
00:30:07,430 --> 00:30:10,617
Say, Bob, now who do you think I am?
466
00:30:10,641 --> 00:30:12,577
You're not fighting with
that fella down there!
467
00:30:12,601 --> 00:30:14,936
Yeah, I'm working with you, Mom.
468
00:30:19,775 --> 00:30:21,234
Stop it!
469
00:30:21,277 --> 00:30:23,570
Bob, please! Ow!
470
00:31:27,301 --> 00:31:29,219
Go on, get out of here. Beat it.
471
00:31:39,855 --> 00:31:41,356
I can't find her.
472
00:31:41,399 --> 00:31:44,568
Well, now don't worry, she's only gone
to the grocer's or something.
473
00:31:44,610 --> 00:31:47,446
I know, but she's been gone
such a long time.
474
00:31:47,488 --> 00:31:49,698
But here's her pocketbook and gloves.
475
00:31:49,740 --> 00:31:51,843
- She'll be back soon.
- Now, I'm worried.
476
00:31:51,867 --> 00:31:53,345
Well, I'm the one
that ought to be worried
477
00:31:53,369 --> 00:31:56,080
with the dinner getting cold
and everything.
478
00:31:56,122 --> 00:31:58,082
Do you think we oughta call
the police?
479
00:31:58,124 --> 00:32:02,169
Now, Bob, don't be so silly.
480
00:32:02,211 --> 00:32:04,922
She'll be back in less than no time.
481
00:32:08,300 --> 00:32:09,342
Hello?
482
00:32:38,664 --> 00:32:41,583
Katie! Katie!
483
00:32:42,835 --> 00:32:43,877
Yes?
484
00:32:44,753 --> 00:32:46,296
Are you calling me, Annie?
485
00:32:46,338 --> 00:32:48,150
You and Bill better come right up.
486
00:32:48,174 --> 00:32:49,925
The radio's working again.
487
00:32:49,967 --> 00:32:52,886
I'll be up in a minute,
Bill ain't home yet.
488
00:33:20,539 --> 00:33:22,832
Hey, listen,
I thought I told you to beat it.
489
00:33:22,875 --> 00:33:24,001
Now, come on, go home.
490
00:33:24,043 --> 00:33:26,211
I got work to do. Come on, boy.
491
00:33:26,253 --> 00:33:28,630
Nice little dog. Come on.
492
00:33:30,299 --> 00:33:31,735
Come on.
493
00:33:31,759 --> 00:33:34,136
Come on, come on.
494
00:33:35,346 --> 00:33:36,388
Come on.
495
00:33:38,098 --> 00:33:40,118
Come on, boy.
496
00:33:40,142 --> 00:33:41,578
Come on.
497
00:33:41,602 --> 00:33:42,829
Come on, boy.
498
00:33:42,853 --> 00:33:43,895
Come on.
499
00:33:47,316 --> 00:33:48,400
Come on, boy.
500
00:33:48,442 --> 00:33:49,484
Come on, boy.
501
00:33:50,653 --> 00:33:51,820
Come on!
502
00:33:51,862 --> 00:33:53,780
Come on, boy.
503
00:33:59,370 --> 00:34:01,121
Come on, boy.
504
00:34:01,163 --> 00:34:02,205
Come on.
505
00:34:05,376 --> 00:34:07,878
Come on, boy.
506
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,254
Come on.
507
00:34:09,296 --> 00:34:10,690
Come on, boy.
508
00:34:10,714 --> 00:34:11,756
Come on.
509
00:34:21,850 --> 00:34:24,102
Ain't he cute?
510
00:34:28,691 --> 00:34:32,695
I just love dogs.
511
00:34:43,998 --> 00:34:45,040
Come on.
512
00:34:48,127 --> 00:34:49,461
Come on.
513
00:34:49,503 --> 00:34:51,254
Come on, get out of here, get out.
514
00:34:51,297 --> 00:34:53,340
Go on, get out. Beat it!
515
00:34:54,383 --> 00:34:55,425
Stay out.
516
00:35:18,490 --> 00:35:20,051
Now, Bob, don't go near that door.
517
00:35:20,075 --> 00:35:21,659
I'm not going near the door, Mom.
518
00:35:21,702 --> 00:35:23,662
Come on away now.
519
00:35:33,297 --> 00:35:34,774
There's that bark again.
520
00:35:34,798 --> 00:35:37,068
Well, what if a dog does bark?
521
00:35:37,092 --> 00:35:39,279
I didn't know there was a dog in the house.
522
00:35:39,303 --> 00:35:41,823
Don't go out, Bob.
523
00:35:41,847 --> 00:35:43,992
Please, for my sake.
524
00:35:44,016 --> 00:35:46,768
Don't go out until Mary returns.
525
00:35:48,937 --> 00:35:50,332
What are you barking for?
526
00:35:50,356 --> 00:35:52,107
I thought I told you to beat it.
527
00:35:52,191 --> 00:35:54,234
You're going for a walk.
528
00:36:09,708 --> 00:36:11,251
You poor little mutt.
529
00:36:11,293 --> 00:36:12,544
Go on home.
530
00:36:12,586 --> 00:36:14,296
If you've got a home.
531
00:36:14,338 --> 00:36:16,131
I've got no time to play with you now.
532
00:36:16,173 --> 00:36:19,384
Put up your hands,
you're under arrest.
533
00:36:26,266 --> 00:36:27,600
All right, put 'em up.
534
00:36:29,144 --> 00:36:30,979
And keep 'em up.
535
00:36:33,315 --> 00:36:34,983
Frisk him, Bill.
536
00:36:51,166 --> 00:36:53,168
Slip the bracelets on him.
537
00:37:05,013 --> 00:37:06,574
Get back up there.
What are you doing up here?
538
00:37:06,598 --> 00:37:09,077
Go on, go wait upstairs.
539
00:37:09,101 --> 00:37:11,061
Go on, upstairs, everybody.
540
00:37:12,855 --> 00:37:15,023
Come on, keep movin' there, keep movin'.
541
00:37:17,609 --> 00:37:20,194
Wait up there, now go on,
now get back up there.
542
00:37:23,991 --> 00:37:27,703
Well, well, well, Thunderbolt.
543
00:37:29,163 --> 00:37:31,748
Long time no see.
544
00:37:42,801 --> 00:37:45,321
You guys are all alike.
545
00:37:45,345 --> 00:37:49,845
No brains, no brains.
546
00:37:49,933 --> 00:37:52,894
Your dame told us
you were coming here.
547
00:38:00,486 --> 00:38:03,572
A lot of help you were.
548
00:38:03,614 --> 00:38:07,326
To think it took a mutt like you
to send me up.
549
00:38:07,367 --> 00:38:08,618
I didn't know you had a dog.
550
00:38:08,660 --> 00:38:10,161
Is he yours?
551
00:38:10,204 --> 00:38:12,289
He is now.
552
00:38:12,331 --> 00:38:15,083
He cost me plenty.
553
00:38:16,460 --> 00:38:18,128
Ain't he beautiful?
554
00:38:18,170 --> 00:38:19,963
I wouldn't brag about him.
555
00:38:20,005 --> 00:38:21,756
Come on, boys.
556
00:39:00,462 --> 00:39:01,671
Let me go down there.
557
00:39:01,713 --> 00:39:02,714
Let me!
558
00:39:02,756 --> 00:39:04,359
What right have you got
to keep me back?
559
00:39:04,383 --> 00:39:05,425
Just stay back.
560
00:39:07,302 --> 00:39:08,363
Oh, Bob.
561
00:39:08,387 --> 00:39:09,781
What is the matter, Mary,
what happened?
562
00:39:09,805 --> 00:39:12,283
Go into the... go into the house,
go on, children.
563
00:39:12,307 --> 00:39:14,911
I wonder what she's got to do with it.
564
00:39:14,935 --> 00:39:15,977
I don't know.
565
00:39:41,712 --> 00:39:44,131
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
566
00:39:44,172 --> 00:39:46,442
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
567
00:39:46,466 --> 00:39:50,966
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
568
00:39:51,847 --> 00:39:54,349
<i>Brother, you ought to been there</i>
569
00:39:54,391 --> 00:39:56,870
<i>Yes, my Lord</i>
570
00:39:56,894 --> 00:40:01,394
<i>A-sitting in the kingdom
for to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
571
00:40:01,982 --> 00:40:04,335
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
572
00:40:04,359 --> 00:40:06,569
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
573
00:40:06,612 --> 00:40:11,112
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
574
00:40:11,533 --> 00:40:14,702
<i>Sister, you ought to been there</i>
575
00:40:14,745 --> 00:40:18,123
<i>Yes, my Lord</i>
576
00:40:18,165 --> 00:40:22,665
<i>A-sitting in the kingdom
for to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
577
00:40:24,630 --> 00:40:27,483
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
578
00:40:27,507 --> 00:40:30,236
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
579
00:40:30,260 --> 00:40:34,760
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
580
00:40:36,725 --> 00:40:39,579
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
581
00:40:39,603 --> 00:40:42,897
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
582
00:40:42,940 --> 00:40:47,440
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
583
00:41:02,334 --> 00:41:06,834
Say,
this piano will need tuning pretty soon.
584
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,756
Yes.
585
00:41:11,009 --> 00:41:15,509
I wish there were a way of telling
when a human being's out of tune.
586
00:41:22,646 --> 00:41:25,523
Couldn't be more comfortable at the Ritz.
587
00:41:25,565 --> 00:41:26,941
One-Way Street, huh?
588
00:41:26,984 --> 00:41:29,987
Everything coming in
and nothing going out.
589
00:41:44,459 --> 00:41:47,378
Now take care of yourself
and don't catch cold.
590
00:41:47,421 --> 00:41:49,256
Plenty of blankets here.
591
00:41:49,297 --> 00:41:50,775
And look out for pneumonia.
592
00:41:50,799 --> 00:41:53,510
Don't want to give this place
a bad name.
593
00:42:09,234 --> 00:42:13,613
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
594
00:42:13,655 --> 00:42:17,367
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
595
00:42:18,285 --> 00:42:22,785
<i>I want to go to Heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
596
00:42:27,836 --> 00:42:31,172
Hey, Number 3!
597
00:42:32,549 --> 00:42:35,236
Hey you, new guy.
598
00:42:35,260 --> 00:42:37,238
You're Number 3.
599
00:42:37,262 --> 00:42:39,323
You might as well get
me right from the start.
600
00:42:39,347 --> 00:42:42,744
I'm Number 1 anywhere.
601
00:42:42,768 --> 00:42:47,268
Well, Number 3 or... or Number 1
or whatever you are,
602
00:42:47,439 --> 00:42:50,775
do you sing tenor?
603
00:42:50,817 --> 00:42:52,151
Who me?
604
00:42:52,194 --> 00:42:54,362
I kill tenors.
605
00:42:55,864 --> 00:42:58,658
Oh, a tough guy, hey?
606
00:42:58,700 --> 00:43:01,119
Too bad you ain't a tenor.
607
00:43:01,161 --> 00:43:04,414
We had a swell quartet,
608
00:43:04,456 --> 00:43:07,041
but they took our tenor yesterday.
609
00:43:08,168 --> 00:43:10,336
Hey, Number 4.
610
00:43:10,378 --> 00:43:12,838
What does that new bird look like?
611
00:43:14,299 --> 00:43:18,780
Well, ain't much to be said about him.
612
00:43:18,804 --> 00:43:19,888
Pretty big.
613
00:43:21,223 --> 00:43:25,723
Got a mug on him
like they use to scare babies with.
614
00:43:25,977 --> 00:43:27,663
Looks like he cuts his hair with a...
615
00:43:27,687 --> 00:43:30,022
Oh, close your trap.
616
00:43:30,065 --> 00:43:33,544
Say, is that you, Thunderbolt?
617
00:43:33,568 --> 00:43:35,319
That's me.
618
00:43:35,362 --> 00:43:39,862
Reading from left to right, Thunderbolt.
619
00:43:39,991 --> 00:43:41,534
Who wants to know?
620
00:43:41,576 --> 00:43:44,829
Don't tell me that you've forgotten me.
621
00:43:44,871 --> 00:43:47,248
Wait, that sounds like Chuck.
622
00:43:47,290 --> 00:43:49,125
Is that you, kid?
623
00:43:49,167 --> 00:43:52,336
The kid himself, sure thing.
624
00:43:52,379 --> 00:43:56,192
Say, what are you in for, big boy?
625
00:43:56,216 --> 00:43:58,402
Being kind to animals.
626
00:43:58,426 --> 00:44:02,740
I just got too interested in a dog,
that's all.
627
00:44:02,764 --> 00:44:05,076
You know any more jokes?
628
00:44:05,100 --> 00:44:08,103
This place is for killers.
629
00:44:12,858 --> 00:44:14,985
Who is that, a friend of yours, Chuck?
630
00:44:15,026 --> 00:44:18,487
Friend of mine?
I should say not.
631
00:44:18,530 --> 00:44:22,033
How long you gonna stop in our hotel, Jim?
632
00:44:22,075 --> 00:44:23,993
About eight weeks.
633
00:44:24,035 --> 00:44:27,204
Anybody else in here I oughta know?
634
00:44:27,247 --> 00:44:29,374
Holler roll for him, boys.
635
00:44:29,416 --> 00:44:33,916
Joe Ripley, been here so long
I've forgotten what I'm in for.
636
00:44:33,962 --> 00:44:36,506
Kentucky Sampson.
637
00:44:36,548 --> 00:44:39,443
Caught on the 13th job.
638
00:44:39,467 --> 00:44:43,967
I was that good, the jury brought in a verdict
of guilty before they went out to lunch.
639
00:44:44,472 --> 00:44:47,975
I'm next door, Jim, Number 5.
640
00:44:50,103 --> 00:44:52,415
Hey, Pat, give me a light, will ya?
641
00:44:52,439 --> 00:44:54,649
<i>Everybody talkin' 'bout Heaven
ain't goin' there</i>
642
00:44:54,733 --> 00:44:57,152
<i>Heaven, Heaven</i>
643
00:44:57,194 --> 00:45:00,739
<i>Gonna shout all over,
goin' to Heaven</i>
644
00:45:00,780 --> 00:45:03,115
Leave those matches here, will you, Pat?
645
00:45:03,158 --> 00:45:05,034
I would (unintelligible).
646
00:45:05,076 --> 00:45:07,578
Sure, you know it's against the rules.
647
00:45:07,621 --> 00:45:11,291
And furthermore, my name is not Pat.
648
00:45:11,333 --> 00:45:13,376
- What is your name?
- Don't tell him!
649
00:45:13,418 --> 00:45:16,254
Make him guess!
650
00:45:16,296 --> 00:45:18,089
Number 6.
651
00:45:18,131 --> 00:45:21,676
Making my exit today.
652
00:45:21,718 --> 00:45:24,447
<i>I got a song, you got a song</i>
653
00:45:24,471 --> 00:45:27,366
<i>All of God's children got a song</i>
654
00:45:27,390 --> 00:45:30,912
Number 7 is at the piano.
655
00:45:30,936 --> 00:45:34,123
Special dispensation from the warden.
656
00:45:34,147 --> 00:45:37,668
Number 8, (unintelligible) Roberts.
657
00:45:37,692 --> 00:45:40,027
Murder in the first degree.
658
00:45:40,070 --> 00:45:42,113
Brought up by honest parents.
659
00:45:42,155 --> 00:45:45,491
At least, they was honest as far as I know.
660
00:45:45,533 --> 00:45:50,033
Absolutely on the level
until my 12th birthday.
661
00:45:55,335 --> 00:45:59,774
Number 9's still in the hospital, I guess.
662
00:45:59,798 --> 00:46:03,277
Number 10, now broadcasting.
663
00:46:03,301 --> 00:46:06,155
Bad AI Frieberg, that's me.
664
00:46:06,179 --> 00:46:09,909
I guess I don't have to tell you who I am.
665
00:46:09,933 --> 00:46:12,078
Maybe you should.
666
00:46:12,102 --> 00:46:14,288
I never heard of you.
667
00:46:14,312 --> 00:46:15,998
Don't kid me.
668
00:46:16,022 --> 00:46:18,107
Everybody heard about me.
669
00:46:18,149 --> 00:46:21,443
There was whole pages in
the papers when I was caught
670
00:46:21,486 --> 00:46:23,529
Pictures and everything.
671
00:46:23,571 --> 00:46:28,071
The Machine Gun Terror,
that's what they call me.
672
00:46:29,077 --> 00:46:31,954
Oh yes, I remember you now.
673
00:46:31,997 --> 00:46:35,166
The Machine Gun Terror, huh?
674
00:46:35,208 --> 00:46:39,420
Well,
down my way they call you Squirt Gun AI.
675
00:46:39,462 --> 00:46:41,630
I'll squirt gun you, you big stick.
If I ever...
676
00:46:41,673 --> 00:46:46,010
Oh, you big fat head,
I bet you bragged your way into the joint.
677
00:46:48,513 --> 00:46:49,824
Come on, Number 7.
678
00:46:49,848 --> 00:46:51,850
Back to your cell.
679
00:47:13,538 --> 00:47:18,038
As I was saying, I was absolutely
on the level until my 12th birthday,
680
00:47:19,502 --> 00:47:24,002
and then, well,
nothing much happened until I was 37.
681
00:47:25,008 --> 00:47:27,844
Then I blew up over a dame!
682
00:47:29,304 --> 00:47:31,657
You're not the only one.
683
00:47:31,681 --> 00:47:33,242
You said it.
684
00:47:33,266 --> 00:47:36,162
There's a dame behind
every guy in this joint.
685
00:47:36,186 --> 00:47:38,456
That was the trouble with me.
686
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,149
The dames wouldn't let me alone.
687
00:47:41,191 --> 00:47:45,691
I wouldn't be here now if two skirts
hadn't fell for me at the same time.
688
00:47:48,198 --> 00:47:50,450
Yeah, I know.
689
00:47:50,492 --> 00:47:54,992
Fell for you, you mean tripped
trying to get out of your way.
690
00:47:57,707 --> 00:47:59,625
Say, listen.
691
00:47:59,667 --> 00:48:01,669
I've had about enough out of you.
692
00:48:01,711 --> 00:48:05,066
I'd show you something if they let
me out of here a couple of minutes.
693
00:48:05,090 --> 00:48:06,567
You big cluck!
694
00:48:06,591 --> 00:48:09,153
What would you do, big boy?
695
00:48:09,177 --> 00:48:10,821
I'd do plenty.
696
00:48:10,845 --> 00:48:12,847
Don't you worry about that.
697
00:48:12,889 --> 00:48:16,285
I ain't afraid of you or that
phony right hand of yours.
698
00:48:16,309 --> 00:48:19,580
Sure you're not,
699
00:48:19,604 --> 00:48:22,523
with these bars between us.
700
00:48:33,868 --> 00:48:36,161
- Hello, Mr. Moran.
- Hello, Jack.
701
00:48:36,204 --> 00:48:38,372
- How are you?
- Fine.
702
00:48:55,056 --> 00:48:57,618
Well, what can I do for you?
703
00:48:57,642 --> 00:49:00,246
Well, you sent for me, Mr. Corwin.
704
00:49:00,270 --> 00:49:02,289
I did nothing of the sort.
705
00:49:02,313 --> 00:49:04,023
That's funny.
706
00:49:04,065 --> 00:49:08,319
Your secretary phoned the house yesterday
and left word that you wanted to see me.
707
00:49:16,453 --> 00:49:18,037
Miss Randall has gone to lunch.
708
00:49:18,079 --> 00:49:20,164
Is there anything I can do for you, sir?
709
00:49:20,206 --> 00:49:22,374
No, never mind.
710
00:49:22,417 --> 00:49:25,044
I don't see why she
should've called you up.
711
00:49:25,086 --> 00:49:27,671
There's nothing I want to see you about.
712
00:49:30,049 --> 00:49:32,968
Then I'm sorry I bothered you.
713
00:49:46,065 --> 00:49:48,233
Got a match, buddy?
714
00:49:56,451 --> 00:49:58,244
Take it easy, Moran.
715
00:49:58,286 --> 00:50:01,455
Come on there, all of you,
get your hands up.
716
00:50:01,498 --> 00:50:02,624
Keep 'em up!
717
00:50:02,665 --> 00:50:06,043
High up there, face the wall!
718
00:50:06,085 --> 00:50:08,670
Come on, do as I tell you.
719
00:50:23,478 --> 00:50:27,978
Even a bank ain't safe
from these gangsters.
720
00:50:29,526 --> 00:50:32,487
- Come on, come on.
- Hey!
721
00:50:46,167 --> 00:50:48,085
Come on!

730
00:51:34,299 --> 00:51:36,968
Just got some great news.

What would you call great news?
732
00:51:41,681 --> 00:51:43,033
Getting out of here?
733
00:51:43,057 --> 00:51:44,785
That doesn't worry me.

I'll handle this.

Watch me!
751
00:52:42,909 --> 00:52:45,453
Now you turn over that gun
this minute, do you hear?

00:52:45,495 --> 00:52:47,079
This is my last warning.

have to fill you full of bullets!

Go ahead, that's what I want you to do!

Now listen, AI, listen to reason.

We've got to execute you tonight.
760
00:53:07,934 --> 00:53:10,412
Besides, you haven't got a chance, AI.
761
00:53:10,436 --> 00:53:12,915
That gun's empty.
762
00:53:12,939 --> 00:53:16,317
- How do you know?
- We caught the guy who sold it to you.
763
00:53:16,359 --> 00:53:19,070
I'll show you whether it's empty or not!
764
00:53:19,112 --> 00:53:21,531
Ah, don't point that thing at me!
765
00:53:21,572 --> 00:53:23,198
Bring on your gang.
766
00:53:23,241 --> 00:53:27,286
I don't care how I die
as long as I die shooting!
767
00:53:27,328 --> 00:53:29,621
Yeah, you'll die shooting.
768

Shooting off your mouth.
769
00:53:31,999 --> 00:53:34,334
I'll get you too before I'm through!
770
00:53:34,377 --> 00:53:37,088
You ain't big enough, little boy.
771
00:53:37,130 --> 00:53:39,441
I'll fill you full of lead
if it's the last thing I do!
772
00:53:39,465 --> 00:53:43,965
Yes, and if I was the warden I'd take that gat
away from you and shove it down your throat.
773
00:53:44,512 --> 00:53:48,325
If I could only get close enough
to take a crack at you!
774
00:53:48,349 --> 00:53:52,849
You haven't got the nerve it takes
to crack a slot machine.
775
00:54:02,363 --> 00:54:03,697
Get out of the way, boys!
776
00:54:03,740 --> 00:54:05,158
Clear the deck!
777
00:54:05,199 --> 00:54:07,177
Give me that gun, you rat.
778
00:54:07,201 --> 00:54:09,620
Give it to you?
779
00:54:09,662 --> 00:54:11,872

<i>When the wind blows, the cradle will rock</i>
786
00:54:39,609 --> 00:54:41,211

788
00:54:42,945 --> 00:54:44,154

00:54:44,197 --> 00:54:48,697
<i>Down will come baby, cradle and all</i>

00:55:04,342 --> 00:55:06,069
Thanks, Mike.
791
00:55:06,093 --> 00:55:08,864
My name is not Mike.
792
00:55:08,888 --> 00:55:10,848
I'll guess it.
793
00:55:15,186 --> 00:55:16,914
Just a little accident, doc.
794
00:55:16,938 --> 00:55:19,899
Somebody hit him.
795
00:55:19,941 --> 00:55:22,485
What'd he hit him with, a Sledgehammer?
796
00:55:28,407 --> 00:55:30,117
Looks a like a very dangerous concussion.
797
00:55:30,159 --> 00:55:33,662
It won't be fatal, will it?
798
00:55:33,704 --> 00:55:36,665
Listen, doc,
you've just got to see that this man lives.
799
00:55:36,707 --> 00:55:38,041
Do something!
800
00:55:38,084 --> 00:55:39,835
I've got to execute him tonight.
801
00:55:39,877 --> 00:55:42,504
Take him to the hospital
and put him on the table.
802
00:55:45,216 --> 00:55:47,801
He's certainly had a terrible shock.
803
00:55:49,345 --> 00:55:51,221
Be careful with him, boys.
804
00:55:54,976 --> 00:55:57,162
You shouldn't have hit that man so hard,
Jim.
805
00:55:57,186 --> 00:55:59,665
Don't worry about him, warden.
806
00:55:59,689 --> 00:56:01,399
He'll come out of it in a couple of hours.
807
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,651
I just tapped him.
808
00:56:04,694 --> 00:56:06,779
Well, anyway, I'm much obliged to you,
809
00:56:06,821 --> 00:56:11,033
and if there's any little favor I could
do for you, that is, within reason.
810
00:56:11,075 --> 00:56:14,745
Well, if it isn't asking too much,
811
00:56:14,787 --> 00:56:18,665
I would like to have that
dog of mine in here with me.
812
00:56:18,708 --> 00:56:21,419
Well, I guess we can
fix that up for you all right.
813
00:56:21,460 --> 00:56:25,960
<i>(unintelligible)</i>
814
00:56:26,215 --> 00:56:28,569
I thought I had that quartet broken up.
815
00:56:28,593 --> 00:56:31,989
But I no sooner get rid of one
than they send me another.
816
00:56:32,013 --> 00:56:34,992
You sure pulled me out of an awful mess.
817
00:56:35,016 --> 00:56:36,869
It was a pleasure, warden.
818
00:56:36,893 --> 00:56:40,163
I'd have been in a tough spot
if this thing had broken in the papers.
819
00:56:40,187 --> 00:56:42,541
Think of the scandal!
820
00:56:42,565 --> 00:56:45,276
I'll fix that dog thing up
for you in a day or two.
821
00:56:45,318 --> 00:56:48,029
<i>That brings me back again</i>
822
00:56:48,070 --> 00:56:50,572

<i>All aboard for Alabam</i>

<i>Alabam, Alabam</i>
829
00:57:16,933 --> 00:57:19,870
Couldn't be more comfortable at the Ritz.
830
00:57:19,894 --> 00:57:21,955
And don't you give me any trouble!
831
00:57:21,979 --> 00:57:24,398
I'm having trouble enough around here.
832
00:57:28,694 --> 00:57:31,530
I'll see you later, Number 4.
833
00:57:50,216 --> 00:57:52,718
Hey, Number 4!
834
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,077
He's calling you, new guy.
835
00:58:00,101 --> 00:58:01,954
You're Number 4.
836
00:58:01,978 --> 00:58:04,498
What are you in for, new guy?
837
00:58:04,522 --> 00:58:07,399
They were robbing a bank
and someone got killed,
838
00:58:07,441 --> 00:58:10,610
and they found a revolver in my pocket.
839
00:58:10,653 --> 00:58:13,197
You didn't have anything to do with it,
did you?
840
00:58:13,239 --> 00:58:14,531
Not a thing.
841
00:58:14,573 --> 00:58:16,241
That's fine.
842
00:58:16,283 --> 00:58:18,702
Now tell us another bedtime story.
843
00:58:21,038 --> 00:58:24,750
Hey, what does he look like, Number 3?
844
00:58:28,963 --> 00:58:33,402
Swing around there, buddy,
so I can get a good look at you.
845
00:58:33,426 --> 00:58:37,096
Don't be bashful, I'm not gonna bite you.
846
00:58:40,099 --> 00:58:44,413
Well, he ain't so bad to look at, I guess.
847
00:58:44,437 --> 00:58:48,458
He's got a face like those fellows
on the collar ads,
848
00:58:48,482 --> 00:58:52,611
and I ain't sure but what
he's got a dimple or two.
849
00:58:52,653 --> 00:58:57,153
Beautiful hair and kind of a mushy mouth.
850
00:58:57,366 --> 00:59:00,994
Looks like one of those lady killers,
if you ask me.
851
00:59:02,496 --> 00:59:06,996
The kind a silly dame is bound to fall for.
852
00:59:09,211 --> 00:59:11,713
What's your name, new guy?
853
00:59:15,217 --> 00:59:17,612
Moran, Bob Moran.
854
00:59:17,636 --> 00:59:19,512
Moran, huh?
855
00:59:19,555 --> 00:59:24,055
Say, ain't you the guy I been reading about
that stole Thunderbolt's girl?
856
00:59:24,852 --> 00:59:28,081
<i>Take me out to the ball game</i>
857
00:59:28,105 --> 00:59:30,982
<i>Take me out with the crowd</i>
858
00:59:31,025 --> 00:59:32,526
<i>Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack</i>
859
00:59:32,610 --> 00:59:37,110
It might interest you to know
the guy across the way from you
860
00:59:37,239 --> 00:59:40,992
is a party by the name of Thunderbolt.
861
00:59:41,035 --> 00:59:43,662
You two guys oughta know each other better.
862
00:59:43,704 --> 00:59:48,204
<i>One, two, three strikes, you're out,
at the old ball game</i>
863
00:59:49,418 --> 00:59:52,003
You put me in here, you framed me!
864
00:59:52,046 --> 00:59:54,465
You know I'm innocent, you're in on it!
865
00:59:54,507 --> 00:59:57,360
I'd like to get my hands on you just once!
866
00:59:57,384 --> 01:00:00,072
Just once, just once!
867
01:00:00,096 --> 01:00:02,741
<i>If I never get back,
let me root, root, root</i>
868
01:00:02,765 --> 01:00:04,618
You've got me wrong, kid.
869
01:00:04,642 --> 01:00:06,536
I've never done anything to you.
870
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:11,060
You're a dirty liar, you framed me,
you got me into this!
871
01:00:11,273 --> 01:00:14,776
I'm not afraid of you, I'm not scared!
872
01:00:14,819 --> 01:00:17,571
I'm not afraid to die!
873
01:00:28,499 --> 01:00:32,377
Over, lay over.
874
01:00:32,419 --> 01:00:35,380
Thatta boy, there.
875
01:00:37,508 --> 01:00:39,402
Say, Thunderbolt!
876
01:00:39,426 --> 01:00:43,865
If it's all the same to you, will you stop
teaching that dog to roll over and play dead?
877
01:00:43,889 --> 01:00:46,099
He's giving me the willies.
878
01:01:22,469 --> 01:01:24,489
Get the handcuff crew.
879
01:01:24,513 --> 01:01:27,576
Hey, up there on the upper deck,
front and center.
880
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:29,435
Yo!
881
01:01:38,736 --> 01:01:42,740
The district attorney wants to see you,
down in my office.
882
01:01:45,618 --> 01:01:46,827
What does he want?
883
01:01:46,869 --> 01:01:48,245
I don't know.
884
01:01:49,997 --> 01:01:53,583
Well,
I don't want him bothering me anymore.
885
01:01:53,626 --> 01:01:56,170
I got enough to worry about as it is.
886
01:01:56,212 --> 01:02:00,712
Well, you haven't got much longer
to worry about anything.
887
01:02:01,425 --> 01:02:04,571
So you've set the date for my kick-off,
have you?
888
01:02:04,595 --> 01:02:06,031
Yup.
889
01:02:06,055 --> 01:02:09,367
I've got two for the
week of January the 7th.
890
01:02:09,391 --> 01:02:11,995
Who's the other one?
891
01:02:12,019 --> 01:02:15,957
Moran goes on Monday
and you're set for Saturday.
892
01:02:15,981 --> 01:02:18,066
That's great.
893
01:02:20,152 --> 01:02:23,238
You know, I was glad that your lawyers
got you that temporary reprieve
894
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,490
so that you could be
around a little while longer.
895
01:02:25,532 --> 01:02:27,784
You don't take it so hard.
896
01:02:27,826 --> 01:02:30,370
But some of these other fellas...
897
01:02:30,412 --> 01:02:33,498
- Come on, get him out of there.
- Hey, warden!
898
01:02:37,419 --> 01:02:41,464
I may be seconds to death,
but you've got no right to make me listen
899
01:02:41,507 --> 01:02:45,362
to that same piece of music
every time that band plays here.
900
01:02:45,386 --> 01:02:47,447
It's cruel and inhuman.
901
01:02:47,471 --> 01:02:51,224
I come here for rest and recreation.
902
01:02:53,185 --> 01:02:55,789
You're just plain ungrateful, that's all.
903
01:02:55,813 --> 01:02:57,666
I'm sorry you ever came here.
904
01:02:57,690 --> 01:03:00,192
So am I!
905
01:03:03,654 --> 01:03:06,239
Come on, bring him out.
906
01:03:49,783 --> 01:03:51,993
Sit down, Jim.
907
01:03:55,748 --> 01:03:57,458
How are you, McKay?
908
01:03:57,499 --> 01:03:59,751
Let's get down to cases, Jim.
909
01:03:59,793 --> 01:04:02,128
You know me and you
know the kind of a man I am.
910
01:04:02,171 --> 01:04:03,255
Yeah.
911
01:04:03,297 --> 01:04:06,151
I don't want to send an
innocent man to his death.
912
01:04:06,175 --> 01:04:10,030
As a matter of fact, I'd fight just as hard
to get an innocent man out of here
913
01:04:10,054 --> 01:04:12,490
as I would fight to put
a guilty man in here.
914
01:04:12,514 --> 01:04:14,075
All right, I'll vote for you.
915
01:04:14,099 --> 01:04:16,578
What are you running for?
916
01:04:16,602 --> 01:04:18,812
This is a serious matter, Jim.
917
01:04:18,854 --> 01:04:20,749
It'll pay you to be serious about it.
918
01:04:20,773 --> 01:04:23,984
I may be helping to snuff out the life
of an innocent man.
919
01:04:24,026 --> 01:04:26,611
You mean you're sorry for railroading me?
920
01:04:26,653 --> 01:04:29,947
Several people have been to see me
about Bob Moran.
921
01:04:29,990 --> 01:04:34,490
He's the man you were going to kill
the night you were caught.
922
01:04:35,621 --> 01:04:37,748
I was going to kill?
923
01:04:37,790 --> 01:04:40,250
You got me mixed up with somebody.
924
01:04:40,292 --> 01:04:43,920
I make it a point never to kill any Morans.
925
01:04:45,756 --> 01:04:47,984
Then why did you go
to his apartment that night?
926
01:04:48,008 --> 01:04:49,819
I'll bite, why did I?
927
01:04:49,843 --> 01:04:52,530
You tell me, you know everything.
928
01:04:52,554 --> 01:04:54,449
That kind of an attitude won't help you...
929
01:04:54,473 --> 01:04:56,826
I'm not looking for help.
930
01:04:56,850 --> 01:04:59,978
When I want your help, I'll let you know.
931
01:05:27,005 --> 01:05:29,007
Do you know this lady?
932
01:05:30,717 --> 01:05:33,863
No, who is she?
933
01:05:33,887 --> 01:05:36,931
Bob Moran is my son.
934
01:05:40,769 --> 01:05:42,979
He's my only child.
935
01:05:46,608 --> 01:05:51,108
I came down here to ask you
to help me to save him.
936
01:05:56,243 --> 01:06:00,080
Well, I guess it's no use, is it?
937
01:06:00,122 --> 01:06:03,667
What's the idea of pulling
this sob stuff on me?
938
01:06:03,709 --> 01:06:05,794
Just a minute.
939
01:06:12,551 --> 01:06:15,738
Oh, Mary.
940
01:06:15,762 --> 01:06:17,221
Oh!
941
01:06:21,310 --> 01:06:23,937
Jim, you're not going
through with this, are you?
942
01:06:23,979 --> 01:06:26,940
What are you talking about?
943
01:06:27,024 --> 01:06:28,316
I know you, Jim.
944
01:06:28,358 --> 01:06:31,903
You're a killer, but you were always fair.
945
01:06:31,945 --> 01:06:33,655
You were never mean.
946
01:06:33,697 --> 01:06:35,699
You were never cruel.
947
01:06:35,741 --> 01:06:38,452
Have I got to listen
to all this junk, warden?
948
01:06:38,494 --> 01:06:40,871
No, not if you don't want to.
949
01:06:40,913 --> 01:06:42,873
You listen to me, Jim.
950
01:06:42,915 --> 01:06:45,792
You had Bob framed for that killing.
951
01:06:45,834 --> 01:06:48,044
You said you would get him and you did.
952
01:06:48,086 --> 01:06:50,254
What's the idea?
953
01:06:50,297 --> 01:06:53,383
What are you trying
to frame up on me here?
954
01:07:00,057 --> 01:07:04,037
I guess that'll be all, warden.
955
01:07:04,061 --> 01:07:05,937
Oh, Mary.
956
01:07:13,946 --> 01:07:17,199
Jim, those two women need that boy.
957
01:07:17,241 --> 01:07:21,741
If there's anything you can say
that will help them, say it now.
958
01:07:24,122 --> 01:07:26,624
Home, James.
959
01:07:39,805 --> 01:07:44,244
I don't see how I can
win him off for you folks.
960
01:07:44,268 --> 01:07:48,164
You mean,
you mean you won't reopen the case?
961
01:07:48,188 --> 01:07:50,416
There's nothing I can do.
962
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:52,608
The only chance we had
was for him to confess.
963
01:07:52,651 --> 01:07:54,277
But it was clear from his attitude.
964
01:07:54,319 --> 01:07:57,989
- Surely you could see...
- Attitudes don't count, I'm sorry.
965
01:07:58,031 --> 01:08:00,450
We need evidence.
966
01:08:28,478 --> 01:08:30,813
All right, lock him up!
967
01:08:58,050 --> 01:09:00,486
I guess you'd like to get close to Moran,
wouldn't you?
968
01:09:00,510 --> 01:09:02,155
Well, you're not going to!
969
01:09:02,179 --> 01:09:03,865
Why not?
970
01:09:03,889 --> 01:09:05,098
I wouldn't hurt him.
971
01:09:05,140 --> 01:09:06,909
Not much, you wouldn't.
972
01:09:06,933 --> 01:09:08,703
I can't quite get your angle.
973
01:09:08,727 --> 01:09:11,080
Aren't you satisfied he's
going to be executed?
974
01:09:11,104 --> 01:09:12,540
What more do you want?
975
01:09:12,564 --> 01:09:15,650
I don't settle my debts that way.
976
01:09:15,692 --> 01:09:18,277
I'm going to get him myself.
977
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:21,197
If you ever get any closer to him
than you are right now,
978
01:09:21,239 --> 01:09:23,866
it'll be over my dead body!
979
01:10:03,031 --> 01:10:07,531
Dearly beloved, we are gathered together
here in sight of God
980
01:10:08,370 --> 01:10:12,870
and in the face of this company to join together
this man and this woman in holy matrimony,
981
01:10:16,253 --> 01:10:20,753
which is an honorable estate
and is not by any to be entered into
982
01:10:20,966 --> 01:10:25,466
unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently.
983
01:10:26,179 --> 01:10:30,679
Into this holy estate, these two
persons present come now to be joined.
984
01:10:31,309 --> 01:10:35,809
If any man can show just cause why
they may not lawfully be joined together,
985
01:10:36,606 --> 01:10:41,106
let him now speak or else hereafter
forever hold his peace.
986
01:10:43,321 --> 01:10:46,907
Wilt thou have this woman
to be thy wedded wife?
987
01:10:46,950 --> 01:10:51,450
Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor
and keep her in sickness and in health,
988
01:10:53,582 --> 01:10:58,082
and forsaking all others, keep thee only
unto her so long as you both shall live?
989
01:11:02,174 --> 01:11:03,651
I Will.
990
01:11:03,675 --> 01:11:06,946
Wilt thou have this man
to be thy wedded husband?
991
01:11:06,970 --> 01:11:11,470
Wilt thou obey him and serve him, love,
honor, and keep him in sickness and in health,
992
01:11:14,102 --> 01:11:18,602
and forsaking all others, keep thee only
unto him so long as you both shall live?
993
01:11:22,611 --> 01:11:24,112
I Will.
994
01:11:24,154 --> 01:11:28,032
Who giveth this woman
to be married to this man?
995
01:11:29,868 --> 01:11:31,619
I do.
996
01:11:34,372 --> 01:11:37,041
Repeat after me.
997
01:11:37,083 --> 01:11:41,583
- With this ring I thee wed.
- With this ring I thee wed.
998
01:11:42,923 --> 01:11:47,423
- And with all my worldly goods, I thee endow.
- And with all my worldly goods, I thee endow.
999
01:11:53,016 --> 01:11:57,516
Those whom God hath joined together,
let no man put asunder.
1000
01:11:58,271 --> 01:12:02,441
I now pronounce you man and wife.
1001
01:12:02,484 --> 01:12:04,235
Oh, my poor children.
1002
01:12:04,277 --> 01:12:06,862
Oh, my poor children!
1003
01:12:06,905 --> 01:12:10,116
I'm sorry but your time is up.
1004
01:12:12,118 --> 01:12:13,744
You'll have to go now, Mrs. Moran.
1005
01:12:13,787 --> 01:12:15,246
Oh, my boy!
1006
01:12:15,288 --> 01:12:17,790
Just a minute, warden.
1007
01:12:19,835 --> 01:12:24,335
Let me be the first
to give them a wedding present.
1008
01:12:24,923 --> 01:12:28,444
Moran doesn't belong in here.
1009
01:12:28,468 --> 01:12:30,947
They were right.
1010
01:12:30,971 --> 01:12:33,765
I had him framed.
1011
01:12:39,729 --> 01:12:42,208
Jim.
1012
01:12:42,232 --> 01:12:44,234
You keep out of this.
1013
01:12:44,276 --> 01:12:48,776
I'm talking to the warden,
and get away from me
1014
01:12:49,239 --> 01:12:52,659
before I change my mind.
1015
01:12:52,701 --> 01:12:55,245
What did he say, dear?
What did he say?
1016
01:12:55,287 --> 01:12:58,581
He means that Bob is going to be free now.
1017
01:13:05,881 --> 01:13:08,174
You're to blame for this!
1018
01:13:08,216 --> 01:13:11,070
I've been in this racket now for 30 years
1019
01:13:11,094 --> 01:13:14,198
and this is the first time
I ever saw anything like this happen.
1020
01:13:14,222 --> 01:13:17,577
Four hours before an execution!
1021
01:13:17,601 --> 01:13:21,539
Before anything else happens, I'm going
to call up the governor and get a stay.
1022
01:13:21,563 --> 01:13:24,524
Maybe you better take my statement first.
1023
01:13:24,566 --> 01:13:26,234
I know what to do!
1024
01:13:26,276 --> 01:13:28,486
I've been running a jail all my life.
1025
01:13:28,528 --> 01:13:32,240
Don't you try to teach me my business.
1026
01:13:32,282 --> 01:13:35,535
Come on, you two,
you've just got to go now.
1027
01:13:35,577 --> 01:13:37,704
You'll have to leave now, madam.
1028
01:13:40,624 --> 01:13:42,292
I knew you'd come through, Jim.
1029
01:13:42,334 --> 01:13:44,252
Oh, leave me alone.
1030
01:13:44,294 --> 01:13:46,379
Oh, thank you.
1031
01:13:46,421 --> 01:13:49,006
Thank you, Mr. Thunderbolt.
1032
01:14:04,564 --> 01:14:06,649
Go on, close it.
1033
01:14:23,166 --> 01:14:25,251
You've done a wonderful thing, Jim.
1034
01:14:27,462 --> 01:14:30,882
Well, I've been here a long time now
1035
01:14:30,924 --> 01:14:35,424
and I'm shuffling off
at the end of the week.
1036
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:40,220
I've had a lot of time
to think things over.
1037
01:14:50,193 --> 01:14:52,195
Better lie down, Bob.
1038
01:14:52,237 --> 01:14:55,114
Try and get some sleep.
1039
01:14:55,156 --> 01:14:56,782
I wanna speak to him.
1040
01:14:56,825 --> 01:14:58,785
I wanna thank him.
1041
01:14:58,827 --> 01:15:02,080
I wanna shake his hand.
1042
01:15:02,122 --> 01:15:06,622
We'll shake hands on Saturday when I go.
1043
01:15:10,171 --> 01:15:12,381
Hey, Thunderbolt!
1044
01:15:12,424 --> 01:15:15,069
What's the idea, you going nuts?
1045
01:15:15,093 --> 01:15:18,012
I thought you didn't like that guy!
1046
01:15:25,937 --> 01:15:28,791
A little music, professor.
1047
01:15:28,815 --> 01:15:33,315
<i>Summertime, summertime</i>
1048
01:15:33,695 --> 01:15:38,195
<i>We will be together in sunny weather</i>
1049
01:15:38,366 --> 01:15:42,703
<i>Down the lane once again</i>
1050
01:15:42,746 --> 01:15:46,875
<i>Sweetheart, you and I!</i>
1051
01:15:46,916 --> 01:15:51,211
<i>Summertime, summertime</i>
1052
01:15:51,254 --> 01:15:55,754
<i>Wedding bells will chime</i>
1053
01:15:56,426 --> 01:15:59,196
<i>All will be sunny</i>
1054
01:15:59,220 --> 01:16:01,513
<i>Peaches, cream, and honey</i>
1055
01:16:01,556 --> 01:16:06,056
<i>In the summertime</i>
1056
01:16:10,690 --> 01:16:12,983
Aw, now don't argue with me.
1057
01:16:13,026 --> 01:16:17,526
I just left Thunderbolt playing checkers
with Moran and I know what I'm talking about.
1058
01:16:18,239 --> 01:16:20,407
He had to get Moran reprieved.
1059
01:16:20,450 --> 01:16:24,162
He's always had his mind set on
bumping off this cluck all by his self
1060
01:16:24,204 --> 01:16:27,999
and this is the only way he could do it.
1061
01:16:28,041 --> 01:16:31,252
You guys give me a pain.
1062
01:16:31,294 --> 01:16:33,713
No imagination.
1063
01:16:36,091 --> 01:16:40,591
He's gonna wait until they opens up the
door to take him for the last walk, see?
1064
01:16:42,472 --> 01:16:46,869
Then he's gonna go over to say goodbye
to the boyfriend.
1065
01:16:46,893 --> 01:16:48,871
Now, get me.
1066
01:16:48,895 --> 01:16:51,791
I'm Thunderbolt and you're the kid, see?
1067
01:16:51,815 --> 01:16:55,544
They opens up the cell door
and starts me for the walk.
1068
01:16:55,568 --> 01:17:00,068
Then I goes over to say goodbye
to the boyfriend.
1069
01:17:01,116 --> 01:17:03,952
I sticks out the left hand.
1070
01:17:03,993 --> 01:17:05,285
See, boys?
1071
01:17:05,328 --> 01:17:09,540
This is the minute
that Thunderbolt's been waiting for.
1072
01:17:09,582 --> 01:17:13,961
Well, "80 long, pal," I says.
1073
01:17:14,003 --> 01:17:18,503
And then socko right through the bar.
1074
01:17:32,272 --> 01:17:33,690
All right.
1075
01:17:36,359 --> 01:17:39,195
Hey, wait a minute.
1076
01:17:39,237 --> 01:17:42,156
This invitation is for
last week's execution.
1077
01:17:42,198 --> 01:17:46,698
What do you think we do here,
give out rain checks?
1078
01:17:46,870 --> 01:17:48,162
Out.
1079
01:17:51,624 --> 01:17:53,208
What a heart.
1080
01:17:53,251 --> 01:17:55,294
Good for a hundred years.
1081
01:17:57,380 --> 01:17:59,632
It oughta be.
1082
01:17:59,674 --> 01:18:02,259
It's only been jilted once.
1083
01:18:04,345 --> 01:18:07,848
She's Mrs. Moran now.
1084
01:18:22,989 --> 01:18:25,783
Hey, gimme a light, will you, Timothy?
1085
01:18:33,333 --> 01:18:34,500
What's the matter, Moran?
1086
01:18:34,542 --> 01:18:39,042
Aren't you happy
now that you're getting out of here?
1087
01:18:39,088 --> 01:18:40,798
I'm not worried about myself.
1088
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:43,652
I'm getting out in a couple of weeks
the warden said.
1089
01:18:43,676 --> 01:18:45,905
I'm worried about you.
1090
01:18:45,929 --> 01:18:48,640
Don't you worry about me.
1091
01:18:53,144 --> 01:18:56,457
Hey, Timothy, these clothes don't fit me.
1092
01:18:56,481 --> 01:18:58,083
Take a squint at them.
1093
01:18:58,107 --> 01:19:00,609
How do you think I'm going to look?
1094
01:19:00,652 --> 01:19:03,154
What do you care how you're going to look?
1095
01:19:03,196 --> 01:19:06,032
You're not going anywhere.
1096
01:19:06,074 --> 01:19:09,452
And my name is not Timothy!
1097
01:19:09,494 --> 01:19:11,078
Well, don't get sore about it.
1098
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:13,872
I'll guess it before I'm through.
1099
01:19:19,087 --> 01:19:22,882
Come on, boy, we got
a couple of minutes more to play.
1100
01:20:14,017 --> 01:20:18,517
Whereas... give me your attention, Jim.
1101
01:20:18,563 --> 01:20:21,065
Whereas at a trial time on the...
1102
01:20:23,568 --> 01:20:27,280
You don't need to read
that death warrant to me, warden.
1103
01:20:27,322 --> 01:20:30,450
I know it backwards.
1104
01:20:30,491 --> 01:20:32,261
- I beg your pardon...
- Don't you bother me now
1105
01:20:32,285 --> 01:20:34,662
when I've got my mind
full of a million details.
1106
01:20:34,704 --> 01:20:36,414
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir, no, sir!
1107
01:20:36,456 --> 01:20:38,207
Yes, sir.
1108
01:20:40,501 --> 01:20:42,669
I knew I'd forgotten something.
1109
01:20:42,712 --> 01:20:43,921
What do you want for lunch?
1110
01:20:43,963 --> 01:20:45,441
You can have anything you want, you know.
1111
01:20:45,465 --> 01:20:47,276
All we've got to do is to bring it in.
1112
01:20:47,300 --> 01:20:49,802
Lunch, what time is it?
1113
01:20:49,844 --> 01:20:51,238
Three minutes after eleven.
1114
01:20:51,262 --> 01:20:53,032
What time is the big show?
1115
01:20:53,056 --> 01:20:55,159
11:20.
1116
01:20:55,183 --> 01:20:59,496
So you're going to give
me 17 minutes to eat it, huh?
1117
01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:03,208
Well, I'm not going to bolt
my food down in a hurry.
1118
01:21:03,232 --> 01:21:07,732
I'd have indigestion all afternoon.
1119
01:21:07,820 --> 01:21:09,780
I'll tell you what I would like to have,
warden.
1120
01:21:09,822 --> 01:21:12,282
Anything within reason, Jim.
1121
01:21:12,325 --> 01:21:14,994
- I'd like to have a good shot of...
- Nothing doing.
1122
01:21:15,036 --> 01:21:18,456
The only stuff we've got is in the hospital
and you've got to be sick to get it.
1123
01:21:18,498 --> 01:21:19,582
Well, I'm sick.
1124
01:21:19,624 --> 01:21:21,667
Who's got a better right to be?
1125
01:21:21,709 --> 01:21:23,794
You are sick, aren't you?
1126
01:21:23,836 --> 01:21:26,046
On the level, you don't feel good, do you?
1127
01:21:26,089 --> 01:21:27,882
I feel terrible.
1128
01:21:27,924 --> 01:21:30,527
I feel like I'm going to die.
1129
01:21:30,551 --> 01:21:34,198
Hey, guys, Thunderbolt
says he don't feel so good!
1130
01:21:34,222 --> 01:21:36,724
He feels like he's gonna die!
1131
01:21:42,772 --> 01:21:46,275
Well, I'll see what I can do about
getting you a little something.
1132
01:21:51,656 --> 01:21:53,157
How do you feel, Jim?
1133
01:21:53,199 --> 01:21:54,325
Same as ever.
1134
01:21:54,367 --> 01:21:56,452
The same as ever?
1135
01:21:56,494 --> 01:21:57,953
Yup.
1136
01:21:57,995 --> 01:22:00,497
You and me can't do any business.
1137
01:22:00,540 --> 01:22:04,669
I've lived all my life
without what you stand for
1138
01:22:04,710 --> 01:22:08,213
and I guess I'll have to die the same way.
1139
01:22:08,256 --> 01:22:12,756
You don't mind my sticking around
in case you change your mind?
1140
01:22:13,136 --> 01:22:15,888
Make yourself right at home.
1141
01:22:15,930 --> 01:22:18,033
Hey, Thunderbolt.
1142
01:22:18,057 --> 01:22:22,371
What do you want us to sing
when you're going to your dance?
1143
01:22:22,395 --> 01:22:26,625
I don't know, what have you got?
1144
01:22:26,649 --> 01:22:29,360
Well, how about Brokenhearted?
1145
01:22:29,402 --> 01:22:31,987
That oughta fit you like a glove.
1146
01:22:32,029 --> 01:22:36,158
<i>There she is, my old gal</i>
1147
01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:40,700
<i>There he is, my old pal</i>
1148
01:22:40,913 --> 01:22:45,413
<i>And here am I, brokenhearted</i>
1149
01:22:48,129 --> 01:22:50,840
How do you like that?
1150
01:22:50,882 --> 01:22:53,050
That's not so bad.
1151
01:22:55,219 --> 01:22:57,763
How do you like it, Moran?
1152
01:23:10,276 --> 01:23:12,236
Here you are.
1153
01:23:24,081 --> 01:23:26,208
You better take this, warden.
1154
01:23:26,250 --> 01:23:28,835
You need it worse than I do.
1155
01:23:36,886 --> 01:23:39,323
I certainly did need it.
1156
01:23:39,347 --> 01:23:41,783
You ought to be glad
you haven't got my job.
1157
01:23:41,807 --> 01:23:44,601
You have no idea what I go through.
1158
01:23:57,949 --> 01:23:59,617
Don't you worry, boy.
1159
01:23:59,659 --> 01:24:02,536
It's me that's going, not you.
1160
01:24:02,578 --> 01:24:05,122
- Everything all set?
- Yup!
1161
01:24:12,797 --> 01:24:14,673
Let's go.
1162
01:24:24,684 --> 01:24:26,703
So long, Shorty.
1163
01:24:26,727 --> 01:24:27,829
See you soon.
1164
01:24:27,853 --> 01:24:28,997
Thanks, Thunderbolt.
1165
01:24:29,021 --> 01:24:30,374
Send us a postcard.
1166
01:24:30,398 --> 01:24:34,151
Sure, "X marks my room,
wish you were here."
1167
01:24:34,193 --> 01:24:36,820
Jim, aren't you gonna say goodbye to me?
1168
01:24:36,862 --> 01:24:39,155
Me not say goodbye to you?
1169
01:24:39,198 --> 01:24:41,575
I'll be back in a minute, Moran.
1170
01:24:41,617 --> 01:24:44,286
I'm saving you for the last.
1171
01:24:44,328 --> 01:24:48,165
<i>There she is, my old gal</i>
1172
01:24:48,207 --> 01:24:51,835
<i>There he is, my old pal</i>
1173
01:24:51,877 --> 01:24:56,377
<i>And here am I, brokenhearted</i>
1174
01:25:00,303 --> 01:25:04,616
<i>Mine in May, his in June</i>
1175
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:08,495
<i>She forgot mighty soon</i>
1176
01:25:08,519 --> 01:25:12,291
<i>And here am I, right here</i>
1177
01:25:12,315 --> 01:25:16,068
<i>Brokenhearted</i>
1178
01:25:16,152 --> 01:25:20,614
<i>The last time that we said goodbye</i>
1179
01:25:20,656 --> 01:25:24,534
<i>I knew that she was through</i>
1180
01:25:24,577 --> 01:25:29,077
<i>It's bad enough that I lost her</i>
1181
01:25:29,206 --> 01:25:33,706
<i>I had to lose him too</i>
1182
01:25:33,961 --> 01:25:38,423
<i>There they go, feel their joy</i>
1183
01:25:38,466 --> 01:25:42,779
<i>Happy girl, lucky boy</i>
1184
01:25:42,803 --> 01:25:47,303
<i>And here am I</i>
1185
01:25:47,642 --> 01:25:52,142
<i>Brokenhearted</i>
1186
01:25:59,528 --> 01:26:02,531
So long, pal.
1187
01:26:02,573 --> 01:26:06,243
I wish I could help you now, Jim,
the way you helped me.
1188
01:26:13,876 --> 01:26:18,005
Funny, sizing us two up,
1189
01:26:18,047 --> 01:26:22,547
nobody would ever think
you were the better man.
1190
01:26:23,427 --> 01:26:25,572
You're the better man, Jim.
1191
01:26:25,596 --> 01:26:28,116
You've taught me a let
these last couple of days.
1192
01:26:28,140 --> 01:26:32,640
You'll be seeing Ritzie soon,
won't you, Moran?
1193
01:26:36,315 --> 01:26:40,815
She's a great little girl, isn't she?
1194
01:26:41,153 --> 01:26:45,653
You were pretty lucky
to take her away from me, weren't you?
1195
01:26:46,617 --> 01:26:49,745
I didn't mean to tell you, Jim,
but I guess I will.
1196
01:26:49,787 --> 01:26:51,997
Somehow I think you ought to know.
1197
01:26:52,039 --> 01:26:53,832
I oughta know what?
1198
01:26:53,874 --> 01:26:56,585
I didn't take her away from you, Jim.
1199
01:26:56,627 --> 01:26:59,504
It was you that took her away from me.
1200
01:27:04,510 --> 01:27:07,155
I took her away from you?
1201
01:27:07,179 --> 01:27:11,679
We've always been sweethearts,
since we were kids, and then she met you.
1202
01:27:12,601 --> 01:27:16,498
I didn't amount to much
and she thought you were wonderful.
1203
01:27:16,522 --> 01:27:21,022
She never told me anything about that.
1204
01:27:23,195 --> 01:27:26,198
I guess I was nothing to brag about.
1205
01:27:32,163 --> 01:27:36,663
I always did have a peculiar habit of
taking things that didn't belong to me.
1206
01:27:40,004 --> 01:27:42,589
That's why I'm here.
1207
01:27:53,225 --> 01:27:57,725
You're kinda crazy about her, aren't you?
1208
01:27:57,855 --> 01:28:01,042
I love her, Jim.
1209
01:28:01,066 --> 01:28:05,566
Well, I guess I do too.
1210
01:28:05,696 --> 01:28:08,365
I still do.
1211
01:28:20,169 --> 01:28:21,795
Good luck, kid.
1212
01:28:21,837 --> 01:28:24,089
Good luck to you both.
1213
01:28:24,131 --> 01:28:27,134
Give her my love.
1214
01:28:27,176 --> 01:28:30,304
And take care of her, whatever you do.
1215
01:28:54,912 --> 01:28:59,412
Well, chaplain,
I might as well give you a break too.
1216
01:28:59,875 --> 01:29:01,918
Come on.
1217
01:29:27,736 --> 01:29:30,029
So long, old timer.
1218
01:29:30,072 --> 01:29:33,241
And don't take any wooden biscuits.
1219
01:29:39,039 --> 01:29:41,124
Hey, Dinty.
1220
01:29:41,166 --> 01:29:45,420
Come here, will ya,
and give me one more light?
1221
01:30:01,770 --> 01:30:04,791
Here, Dinty, I guess I'll quit smoking.
1222
01:30:04,815 --> 01:30:08,193
Thanks, and my name isn't Dinty.
1223
01:30:08,235 --> 01:30:12,322
And before you go, I want you to know
that my name is Aloysius
1224
01:30:12,364 --> 01:30:14,324
and you didn't guess it.
1225
01:30:16,076 --> 01:30:18,995
- Your name is what?
- Aloysius.
1226
01:30:22,458 --> 01:30:24,751
What did you say your name was?
1227
01:30:24,793 --> 01:30:27,754
Aloysius and you didn't guess it.
1228
01:30:31,342 --> 01:30:33,987
Who would've guessed it?
1229
01:30:34,011 --> 01:30:35,804
<i>No...</i>
1230
01:30:46,857 --> 01:30:48,984
He said...

Thunderbolt Jim Lang (George Bancroft), wanted on robbery and murder charges, ventures out with his girl, "Ritzy" (Fay Wray), to a Harlem nightclub, where she informs him that she is going straight. During a raid on the club, Thunderbolt escapes. His gang shadows Ritzy and reports that she is living with Mrs. Moran (Eugenie Besserer), whose son, Bob (Richard Arlen), a bank clerk, is in love with Ritzy. Fearing for Bob's safety, Ritzy engineers a police trap for Thunderbolt; he escapes but is later captured, tried, and sentenced to be executed at Sing Sing. From the death house, he successfully plots to frame Bob in a bank robbery and killing. Bob is placed in the facing cell, and guards frustrate Thunderbolt's attempts to get to his rival. When Ritzy marries Bob in the death house, Thunderbolt confesses his part in Bob's conviction. He plots to kill the boy on the night of his execution, but instead at the last minute his hand falls on Bob's shoulder in a gesture of friendship.

1
00:01:56,866 --> 00:01:58,051
Eleven o'clock.
2
00:01:58,075 --> 00:02:00,035
I didn't know it was so late.
3
00:02:06,584 --> 00:02:07,751
Goodnight.
4
00:02:07,793 --> 00:02:09,503
Goodnight, dear.
5
00:02:19,180 --> 00:02:21,015
Oh, Bob!
6
00:02:24,185 --> 00:02:26,103
You've got my gloves.
7
00:02:27,688 --> 00:02:30,899
That's funny, there's a pair of gloves
in my pocket.
8
00:02:30,941 --> 00:02:32,776
Are these yours?
9
00:02:33,778 --> 00:02:36,030
Let me put them on for you.
10
00:02:41,410 --> 00:02:43,829
Bob, I really must go now.
11
00:02:47,208 --> 00:02:48,709
Goodnight.
12
00:02:48,751 --> 00:02:53,251
And, honey, you will be on time
tomorrow night, won't you?
13
00:02:53,297 --> 00:02:55,859
You were late tonight
and I was worried.
14
00:02:55,883 --> 00:02:58,510
I'll try awfully hard, Bob.
15
00:03:16,862 --> 00:03:19,865
Just drive down the street a bit,
I'll tell you where to go later.
16
00:03:25,162 --> 00:03:26,830
I'll tell you where to go right now.
17
00:03:26,872 --> 00:03:28,832
Police headquarters.
18
00:03:47,727 --> 00:03:49,770
Go on, get up there.
19
00:03:56,026 --> 00:03:58,570
Well, well, well, if it isn't Ritzie.
20
00:03:58,612 --> 00:04:01,281
This is indeed an honor and a pleasure.
21
00:04:03,868 --> 00:04:06,370
It takes so little to give some
people pleasure, doesn't it?
22
00:04:06,412 --> 00:04:08,247
Where's Thunderbolt?
23
00:04:08,289 --> 00:04:10,541
- Who?
- Don't try any of that stuff on me.
24
00:04:10,583 --> 00:04:12,293
You know who I mean.
25
00:04:12,334 --> 00:04:13,974
In case your memory
has suddenly left you,
26
00:04:14,003 --> 00:04:17,149
let me remind you of Jim Lang,
sometimes called Jim Carson,
27
00:04:17,173 --> 00:04:20,277
sometimes called... well, sometimes
called anything in the world
28
00:04:20,301 --> 00:04:22,678
but always known as Thunderbolt.
29
00:04:26,557 --> 00:04:29,619
I suppose that you've never even heard
of the Hellinger case.
30
00:04:29,643 --> 00:04:32,228
Or the million-dollar
St. Louis Terminal job.
31
00:04:32,313 --> 00:04:36,813
Or the time that he held up
the Iroquois Bank single-handed.
32
00:04:36,984 --> 00:04:40,404
He's wanted right now by nine states
for bank robbery,
33
00:04:40,446 --> 00:04:44,946
and there's two more that'd like to
talk to him on a little matter of murder.
34
00:04:45,242 --> 00:04:47,953
Now maybe you can remember who he is.
35
00:04:49,371 --> 00:04:52,165
Quit your stalling. Where is he?
36
00:04:52,208 --> 00:04:54,418
I don't know what you're talking about.
37
00:04:54,460 --> 00:04:58,297
Don't you try to Ritz me, Ritzie.
38
00:05:02,384 --> 00:05:04,196
Where did you see him last?
39
00:05:04,220 --> 00:05:05,655
I don't remember.
40
00:05:05,679 --> 00:05:07,449
Oh, you won't talk, eh?
41
00:05:07,473 --> 00:05:09,534
Well, maybe you can tell me this.
42
00:05:09,558 --> 00:05:13,538
Who was the other half of the bench picnic
in the park tonight?
43
00:05:13,562 --> 00:05:15,730
Bench picnic?
44
00:05:15,773 --> 00:05:18,525
I was in the park tonight
but I was alone.
45
00:05:18,567 --> 00:05:20,735
Your men must be seeing double, Inspector.
46
00:05:20,778 --> 00:05:24,114
Oh, my men were seeing double,
were they?
47
00:05:26,575 --> 00:05:29,828
Well, here's the other half
of what they saw.
48
00:05:38,671 --> 00:05:40,190
I've had enough of this stalling.
49
00:05:40,214 --> 00:05:43,235
You two have been meeting night after night
for months and I know it.
50
00:05:43,259 --> 00:05:44,986
Well, supposing we have been meeting.
51
00:05:45,010 --> 00:05:46,655
Being in love is no crime yet.
52
00:05:46,679 --> 00:05:48,490
Maybe not,
but being in love with her
53
00:05:48,514 --> 00:05:51,642
is apt to cause you a lot of trouble,
young fellow.
54
00:05:53,561 --> 00:05:55,437
I wonder if you know
that she is the girlfriend
55
00:05:55,479 --> 00:05:58,190
of the most notorious criminal
this state has ever known.
56
00:05:58,232 --> 00:05:59,918
She's been a member of his gang
for two years,
57
00:05:59,942 --> 00:06:01,360
ever since she met him.
58
00:06:01,402 --> 00:06:02,820
I don't know
a woman in this city
59
00:06:02,862 --> 00:06:05,281
that knows more about him
and his affairs than she does.
60
00:06:05,322 --> 00:06:07,824
I know all about that.
That's all over now.
61
00:06:07,867 --> 00:06:09,761
- Where's Thunderbolt?
- I don't know and I don't care.
62
00:06:09,785 --> 00:06:12,496
- What do you do for a living?
- I work at a bank.
63
00:06:13,622 --> 00:06:17,917
How would you like to lose your job
and maybe work in a penitentiary?
64
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,062
That's where you're headed...
65
00:06:19,086 --> 00:06:21,129
You let him alone.
66
00:06:22,256 --> 00:06:23,483
He's on the level.
67
00:06:23,507 --> 00:06:25,443
He's got nothing to do with that crowd.
68
00:06:25,467 --> 00:06:28,613
Listen, Ritzie, you're a smart girl
and you can save yourself a lot of trouble
69
00:06:28,637 --> 00:06:30,740
by giving us a line on Thunderbolt.
70
00:06:30,764 --> 00:06:33,201
You know we can make it pretty hot for you.
71
00:06:33,225 --> 00:06:35,537
You've got nothing on me
and you know it.
72
00:06:35,561 --> 00:06:38,355
If you had,
you'd have locked me up long ago.
73
00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:40,858
I'm through with that mob for good.
74
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:45,400
Whatever mistakes I've made,
I've paid for in my own way.
75
00:06:47,865 --> 00:06:48,907
What do you say, Chief?
76
00:06:48,949 --> 00:06:51,034
Shall I take 'em down and book 'em?
77
00:06:51,076 --> 00:06:52,577
Never mind.
78
00:06:52,620 --> 00:06:55,456
You can go now.
79
00:06:55,497 --> 00:06:57,540
Let her go.
80
00:07:08,427 --> 00:07:10,429
Goodnight, Inspector.
81
00:07:11,555 --> 00:07:13,223
And thank you.
82
00:07:19,939 --> 00:07:22,358
Don't let that dame out of your sight.
83
00:07:22,399 --> 00:07:26,361
Thunderbolt will go through an iron wall
to see her.
84
00:07:26,403 --> 00:07:29,114
And we want to be there
when they meet.
85
00:07:29,156 --> 00:07:31,616
There's always the chance
of nabbing him
86
00:07:31,659 --> 00:07:34,244
as long as she's out.
87
00:08:05,234 --> 00:08:08,320
Good evening, Mr. Th-Th-Thunderbolt.
88
00:08:08,362 --> 00:08:09,946
I got your phone call.
89
00:08:09,989 --> 00:08:13,409
- The the best in the house.
- All right, Oscar.
90
00:08:16,745 --> 00:08:18,788
Check your hat, sir?
91
00:08:19,957 --> 00:08:21,458
No thanks.
92
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:24,377
I never know
when I'm going to leave in a hurry.
93
00:08:25,587 --> 00:08:28,506
I always like to have my hat be with me.
94
00:08:30,801 --> 00:08:34,280
Say, boy, am I seeing right?
95
00:08:34,304 --> 00:08:35,907
Is that Thunderbolt?
96
00:08:35,931 --> 00:08:38,159
Does that mean
there's gonna be any trouble?
97
00:08:38,183 --> 00:08:39,244
Maybe not.
98
00:08:39,268 --> 00:08:41,770
I'm keeping one foot (unintelligible).
99
00:09:12,885 --> 00:09:16,406
Say, (unintelligible) Thunderbolt?
100
00:09:16,430 --> 00:09:20,930
He hits you with that big right soupbone
and just ruins you,
101
00:09:21,060 --> 00:09:23,520
all in one little smackeroo.
102
00:09:23,604 --> 00:09:25,522
That's why they call him Thunderbolt.
103
00:09:25,606 --> 00:09:27,858
Say, one little piece of lead
104
00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:31,612
and the littlest guy'
leave even
as big... The biggest man dead.
105
00:09:31,653 --> 00:09:34,656
Say, why don't nobody take a shot at him?
106
00:09:34,698 --> 00:09:37,409
Well,
the cemetery's full of them that missed.
107
00:09:38,494 --> 00:09:40,662
Let's have some real service, Oscar.
108
00:09:40,704 --> 00:09:43,415
And your r-r-regular order, sir?
109
00:09:43,457 --> 00:09:44,499
Right.
110
00:09:44,541 --> 00:09:46,459
What are you going to have, baby?
111
00:09:46,502 --> 00:09:47,628
Nothing.
112
00:09:48,754 --> 00:09:52,192
That means she'll have a chicken sandwich
and a glass of milk.
113
00:09:52,216 --> 00:09:54,468
Y-y-yes, boss, yes.
114
00:09:57,721 --> 00:09:59,908
What's the matter, Ritzie,
what are you sore about?
115
00:09:59,932 --> 00:10:01,409
I'm not sore.
116
00:10:01,433 --> 00:10:03,810
What good would it do if I were?
117
00:10:07,272 --> 00:10:08,356
What are you looking at?
118
00:10:08,398 --> 00:10:12,777
I'm looking at nothing,
and it's wearing a tuxedo.
119
00:10:14,863 --> 00:10:15,989
Who are you talking to?
120
00:10:16,031 --> 00:10:18,259
Stay right with him, baby.
Don't let him get away with anything.
121
00:10:18,283 --> 00:10:20,410
You might be lightning
to a lot of people,
122
00:10:20,452 --> 00:10:23,580
but you're just a wet match to me.
123
00:10:37,094 --> 00:10:39,280
Say, you big bozo.
124
00:10:39,304 --> 00:10:41,533
That ain't no way to treat a lady.
125
00:10:41,557 --> 00:10:42,599
No?
126
00:10:44,226 --> 00:10:45,268
Give me that gun.
127
00:10:49,398 --> 00:10:52,943
So you don't like the way I treat a lady,
huh?
128
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,699
I ain't gonna wait
for that ham sandwich another minute.
129
00:10:58,740 --> 00:11:00,199
I ain't hungry. Is you?
130
00:11:00,242 --> 00:11:01,886
Oh boy, somebody better call an ambulance.
131
00:11:01,910 --> 00:11:04,203
You wait till I get home,
I'm gonna tell my husband.
132
00:11:04,246 --> 00:11:07,290
L-I-lady, why don't you stop?
133
00:11:07,332 --> 00:11:09,769
- There's gonna be trouble in here in a minute.
- I'm all wet.
134
00:11:09,793 --> 00:11:12,587
I told you he was gon' hit her.
135
00:11:12,629 --> 00:11:16,132
- Take it easy, huh, be careful.
- Are they gonna shoot again?
136
00:11:19,219 --> 00:11:21,239
- Snapper.
- Wait a minute.
137
00:11:21,263 --> 00:11:22,740
Get back there.
138
00:11:22,764 --> 00:11:25,285
Where do you guys think you're going?
139
00:11:25,309 --> 00:11:26,578
Watch 'em, Jimmy.
140
00:11:26,602 --> 00:11:28,204
I wanna go home.
141
00:11:28,228 --> 00:11:29,270
Sit down.
142
00:11:29,313 --> 00:11:32,733
Hey, the two of you men,
143
00:11:32,774 --> 00:11:34,692
clean up this mess out here.
144
00:11:34,735 --> 00:11:36,278
(unintelligible).
145
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,696
Everything all right, chief?
146
00:11:37,738 --> 00:11:38,905
Tough crowd here tonight.
147
00:11:38,947 --> 00:11:40,633
Yeah, how do you feel tonight, Snapper?
148
00:11:40,657 --> 00:11:42,367
Oh, fine, chief.
149
00:11:42,409 --> 00:11:43,827
Hello there, Ritzie.
150
00:11:43,869 --> 00:11:45,036
Have some nuts.
151
00:11:45,078 --> 00:11:46,245
Great for the system.
152
00:11:46,288 --> 00:11:48,415
Fills up the body.
153
00:11:48,457 --> 00:11:50,709
How about your mind?
154
00:11:55,172 --> 00:11:57,066
What do we do with her, Snapper?
155
00:11:57,090 --> 00:12:01,362
Oh, drag that cluck outta here, will ya?
156
00:12:01,386 --> 00:12:04,490
A couple of yous guys.
157
00:12:04,514 --> 00:12:06,265
Let me help you, Snapper.
158
00:12:07,142 --> 00:12:09,329
Hey, lay off that, will ya?
159
00:12:09,353 --> 00:12:11,897
That's my trigger finger.
160
00:12:11,939 --> 00:12:14,191
What a fine night this is.
161
00:12:15,234 --> 00:12:18,237
Oh, uh, listen up, boy.
162
00:12:18,278 --> 00:12:21,197
Oh, uh, oh, uh, get out of here.
163
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,282
Music, boys.
164
00:12:29,706 --> 00:12:33,251
I suppose you thought it was funny
starting that ruckus.
165
00:12:34,127 --> 00:12:37,023
Strikes me you could stand
a little cooling off.
166
00:12:37,047 --> 00:12:39,067
How would you like
a dose of it yourself?
167
00:12:39,091 --> 00:12:40,151
Go right ahead.
168
00:12:40,175 --> 00:12:42,760
I wouldn't put it past you for a minute.
169
00:12:49,393 --> 00:12:53,438
<i>When night is creepin'
and I should be sleepin' in bed</i>
170
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,608
What are you trying to do, baby,
get me sore?
171
00:12:56,650 --> 00:13:00,713
<i>If you were peepin'
you'd find that I'm weepin' instead</i>
172
00:13:00,737 --> 00:13:03,573
Jim, I'm going to quit.
173
00:13:03,615 --> 00:13:05,241
What, again?
174
00:13:05,284 --> 00:13:06,493
I mean it this time.
175
00:13:06,535 --> 00:13:08,245
I've been trying to tell you.
176
00:13:08,287 --> 00:13:10,539
I'm not going on with it anymore.
177
00:13:10,580 --> 00:13:13,082
- <i>I'm</i> through.
<i>- Night after night</i>
178
00:13:13,125 --> 00:13:14,543
Through with what?
179
00:13:14,584 --> 00:13:17,897
What are you talking about?
180
00:13:17,921 --> 00:13:19,399
All this.
181
00:13:19,423 --> 00:13:21,401
These people.
182
00:13:21,425 --> 00:13:22,467
You.
183
00:13:25,887 --> 00:13:29,075
<i>No one can fill
that vacant chair</i>
184
00:13:29,099 --> 00:13:31,035
We're going to have this out right now.
185
00:13:31,059 --> 00:13:32,870
<i>When you're not there</i>
186
00:13:32,894 --> 00:13:37,394
<i>No need to knock,
the door is open for you</i>
187
00:13:38,608 --> 00:13:41,944
<i>-Please, daddy</i>
-We'll <i>find</i> a place where <i>we can</i> talk.
188
00:13:43,947 --> 00:13:44,989
Come on.
189
00:13:47,075 --> 00:13:51,162
<i>Daddy, do you have to roam so very long?</i>
190
00:13:51,204 --> 00:13:52,872
Come on.
191
00:13:52,914 --> 00:13:57,414
<i>There's lots of other new sheiks
who would like to be sheikin'</i>
192
00:13:57,961 --> 00:13:59,837
Come on, baby.
193
00:14:00,881 --> 00:14:05,381
<i>Daddy, daddy, daddy,
won't you please come home?</i>
194
00:14:08,597 --> 00:14:11,743
<i>Night after night, I'm or yin'</i>
195
00:14:11,767 --> 00:14:15,079
<i>Daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
196
00:14:15,103 --> 00:14:18,022
<i>Daddy,
won't you please come home?</i>
197
00:14:18,065 --> 00:14:22,069
<i>I'm so lonesome</i>
198
00:14:22,110 --> 00:14:25,196
<i>No one can fill
that vacant chair</i>
199
00:14:25,238 --> 00:14:28,532
<i>Home isn't home
if you're not there</i>
200
00:14:28,575 --> 00:14:33,075
<i>No need to knock,
the door is open for you</i>
201
00:14:33,955 --> 00:14:35,373
<i>Sweet daddy</i>
202
00:14:35,415 --> 00:14:38,626
<i>Even the clock keeps tickin'</i>
203
00:14:38,668 --> 00:14:41,981
<i>Daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
204
00:14:42,005 --> 00:14:46,505
<i>Daddy, do you have to roam so very long?</i>
205
00:14:47,552 --> 00:14:52,052
<i>There's lots of other new sheiks
who would like to be sheikin'</i>
206
00:14:52,140 --> 00:14:55,453
<i>Haven't slipped yet,
but I'm liable to weaken</i>
207
00:14:55,477 --> 00:14:59,977
<i>Daddy, daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
208
00:15:13,787 --> 00:15:15,747
I don't get you at all.
209
00:15:15,789 --> 00:15:19,584
You tell me you want to step out tonight,
go somewhere that's lively.
210
00:15:19,626 --> 00:15:22,045
I risk my neck
by walking into this joint,
211
00:15:22,087 --> 00:15:25,191
with all the cops
in the world on my trail.
212
00:15:25,215 --> 00:15:26,984
There's a 10-to-1 shot
there's a couple of dicks
213
00:15:27,008 --> 00:15:30,613
shadowing you right now to get to me.
214
00:15:30,637 --> 00:15:32,657
It's all right with me.
215
00:15:32,681 --> 00:15:35,326
I can take care of myself.
216
00:15:35,350 --> 00:15:38,895
But I do all this,
I take this big chance,
217
00:15:38,937 --> 00:15:40,563
and your idea
of the way to behave
218
00:15:40,605 --> 00:15:44,877
is to start that foolishness
all over again.
219
00:15:44,901 --> 00:15:46,569
What's the big idea?
220
00:15:46,611 --> 00:15:48,070
It's just this, Jim.
221
00:15:48,113 --> 00:15:50,448
I want to be decent again.
222
00:15:50,490 --> 00:15:54,160
Well, babe, you've always been
the most decent kid in the racket.
223
00:15:58,039 --> 00:16:01,917
You know, I used to get a big kick
out of being your girl,
224
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,896
out of knowing that
you'd take a chance on your life
225
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,213
just to see me
for a few minutes.
226
00:16:18,894 --> 00:16:22,105
You're the swellest girl
I ever knew.
227
00:16:25,317 --> 00:16:28,862
You wouldn't want to keep me
if I didn't want to stay, would you, Jim?
228
00:16:28,904 --> 00:16:30,947
Wouldn't I?
229
00:16:32,199 --> 00:16:36,661
I'd keep you with me
if the whole world didn't want you to stay
230
00:16:36,703 --> 00:16:38,663
and make them like it.
231
00:16:38,705 --> 00:16:40,665
That's just it.
232
00:16:40,707 --> 00:16:43,751
I don't want people to respect me
because they're afraid
233
00:16:43,793 --> 00:16:45,753
you'll crush their heads
if they don't.
234
00:16:45,795 --> 00:16:48,733
I don't want the police trailing me
wherever I go.
235
00:16:48,757 --> 00:16:51,968
I don't want people pointing at me
and whispering about me.
236
00:16:52,010 --> 00:16:55,281
All this Ritzie talk, boiled down,
means that you...
237
00:16:55,305 --> 00:16:57,366
You're ashamed of me, huh?
238
00:16:57,390 --> 00:17:00,976
No, just ashamed of myself.
239
00:17:01,019 --> 00:17:03,646
I want to know people
who are different from you and me,
240
00:17:03,688 --> 00:17:06,315
people who lead decent, normal lives.
241
00:17:06,358 --> 00:17:09,194
People who get up in the morning
to go to work.
242
00:17:09,236 --> 00:17:10,779
Regular people.
243
00:17:10,820 --> 00:17:12,905
Oh, don't be a fool.
244
00:17:12,948 --> 00:17:14,824
I don't care what you call me, Jim.
245
00:17:14,866 --> 00:17:17,326
That's the way I'm going
to live from now on.
246
00:17:17,369 --> 00:17:18,995
I'm going to quit.
247
00:17:20,372 --> 00:17:22,874
Well, let me tell you something, Ritzie.
248
00:17:22,916 --> 00:17:25,376
Maybe I'd like to go straight too.
249
00:17:25,418 --> 00:17:27,461
I haven't thought about it much.
250
00:17:27,504 --> 00:17:29,649
Maybe I don't know how.
251
00:17:29,673 --> 00:17:33,468
But as long as I'm going my way,
you're going with me.
252
00:17:35,262 --> 00:17:38,115
You're all I've got
that means anything to me.
253
00:17:38,139 --> 00:17:39,492
Do you think I would...
254
00:17:39,516 --> 00:17:42,352
Oh, come on, let's have a good time.
255
00:17:44,312 --> 00:17:46,897
You'll feel better
in the morning.
256
00:17:57,033 --> 00:17:59,702
Wait a minute.
257
00:17:59,744 --> 00:18:03,330
You haven't fallen for another guy,
have you?
258
00:18:03,373 --> 00:18:05,792
- Who is he?
- There is no other guy, Jim.
259
00:18:05,834 --> 00:18:07,627
It's just that we're through.
260
00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:09,837
You and me will never be through, Ritzie.
261
00:18:09,879 --> 00:18:11,566
Get that straight.
262
00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:15,528
You're my girl and nobody on earth
can take you away from me.
263
00:18:15,552 --> 00:18:19,448
Do you think you could hold me
if I didn't love you anymore?
264
00:18:19,472 --> 00:18:20,992
That don't worry me.
265
00:18:21,016 --> 00:18:24,787
It's the guy that tries to take you away
from me that's got the worrying to do.
266
00:18:24,811 --> 00:18:29,311
Oh, I know, it would be easy enough for you
to get your gang to do anything.
267
00:18:29,482 --> 00:18:33,777
That's one job
I wouldn't let anybody do for me.
268
00:18:36,740 --> 00:18:39,200
Come on, baby.
269
00:18:39,242 --> 00:18:41,327
Come on.
270
00:18:52,213 --> 00:18:55,651
I'd get that guy by myself
271
00:18:55,675 --> 00:19:00,175
if it was the last thing
in this world I ever did.
272
00:19:15,904 --> 00:19:17,196
Uh-oh.
273
00:19:17,238 --> 00:19:21,242
W-w—w-what... what's that n-n-now?
274
00:19:21,284 --> 00:19:24,245
I told you this was gonna happen.
275
00:19:24,287 --> 00:19:27,999
Hey, get off my foot.
276
00:19:28,041 --> 00:19:29,459
Find that light switch.
277
00:19:29,501 --> 00:19:32,003
Don't get excited, folks,
it's only a little raid.
278
00:19:32,045 --> 00:19:34,857
Everybody who can stand to pitch
will kindly keep their seats.
279
00:19:34,881 --> 00:19:38,259
Stand still there or I'll shoot.
280
00:19:40,929 --> 00:19:42,281
Don't move.
281
00:19:42,305 --> 00:19:43,699
I ain't movin', boss.
282
00:19:43,723 --> 00:19:45,975
I've been pushed.
283
00:20:09,833 --> 00:20:11,668
Where is Thunderbolt?
Come clean.
284
00:20:11,710 --> 00:20:13,002
Where is he?
285
00:20:14,587 --> 00:20:16,380
I don't know.
286
00:20:19,008 --> 00:20:21,969
And I don't ever want to know.
287
00:20:45,410 --> 00:20:49,789
I want you men to get this
and get it straight.
288
00:20:49,831 --> 00:20:52,166
It's been two months since Thunderbolt
got away from you
289
00:20:52,208 --> 00:20:54,960
and he's got to be found.
290
00:20:55,003 --> 00:20:58,983
Thunderbolt's girl's been living up
at Young Moran's house for weeks
291
00:20:59,007 --> 00:21:01,277
with the kid and his mother.
292
00:21:01,301 --> 00:21:05,801
Don't tell me that that kid doesn't know
something about Thunderbolt.
293
00:21:07,015 --> 00:21:08,826
Put the works on him.
294
00:21:08,850 --> 00:21:10,578
He'll talk
295
00:21:10,602 --> 00:21:15,102
when it's a question of talking
or being out of a job.
296
00:21:27,035 --> 00:21:28,578
Mr. Corwin wants to see you, Bob.
297
00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:30,622
Okay, Jimmy.
298
00:21:44,427 --> 00:21:46,489
You sent for me, Mr. Corwin?
299
00:21:46,513 --> 00:21:47,555
Yes.
300
00:21:48,723 --> 00:21:49,765
Sit down.
301
00:22:03,279 --> 00:22:04,280
Hello, Mom.
302
00:22:05,448 --> 00:22:07,825
- You're late, Bob.
- Yeah, I stayed overtime.
303
00:22:07,867 --> 00:22:09,827
- Hello, dear.
- Hello.
304
00:22:09,869 --> 00:22:12,162
I'm so glad you're here, Bob,
we were worried.
305
00:22:12,205 --> 00:22:14,790
Oh, I'm sorry, Mary,
but there's nothing to worry about.
306
00:22:14,833 --> 00:22:16,477
Everything was all right at the bank,
wasn't it?
307
00:22:16,501 --> 00:22:18,669
Everything was perfect.
308
00:22:21,506 --> 00:22:23,776
Yes, sir, everything was perfect.
309
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,737
- Until about 4:00.
- What happened about 4:00?
310
00:22:26,761 --> 00:22:27,863
Nothing much.
311
00:22:27,887 --> 00:22:29,740
I just got fired.
312
00:22:29,764 --> 00:22:32,284
That's why I stayed late
to turn over my accounts.
313
00:22:32,308 --> 00:22:33,452
You're joking?
314
00:22:33,476 --> 00:22:35,621
I'm not joking, it's the truth.
315
00:22:35,645 --> 00:22:37,438
What was it, Bob?
What was the matter?
316
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,901
Nothing, Mr. Corwin and I just couldn't
agree on how a bank should be run.
317
00:22:43,069 --> 00:22:44,779
It was on my account, wasn't it?
318
00:22:44,821 --> 00:22:46,298
Don't be silly.
319
00:22:46,322 --> 00:22:48,991
Tell me, Bob, I've got to know.
320
00:22:49,033 --> 00:22:51,201
They just told me
I'd have to make a choice.
321
00:22:51,244 --> 00:22:52,847
Either I'd have to give you up or else...
322
00:22:52,871 --> 00:22:53,955
Or else what?
323
00:22:53,997 --> 00:22:56,082
Just or else, that's all.
324
00:22:56,124 --> 00:22:58,376
Well, I'm glad you quit.
325
00:22:58,418 --> 00:23:02,213
I never could understand
why you wanted to stay at that bank anyhow.
326
00:23:02,255 --> 00:23:04,275
I don't think there was much chance
for you there.
327
00:23:04,299 --> 00:23:07,152
Wherever you go,
they'll always be finding out about me.
328
00:23:07,176 --> 00:23:09,446
Let 'em,
there's nothing to find out about you.
329
00:23:09,470 --> 00:23:12,283
You know, I always thought
you were too good for that place.
330
00:23:12,307 --> 00:23:14,767
They didn't appreciate you.
331
00:23:17,395 --> 00:23:19,438
Oh, don't start crying, dear.
332
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,333
You'll get your nose red.
333
00:23:21,357 --> 00:23:23,734
A thing like this doesn't bother us,
does it, Mom?
334
00:23:23,776 --> 00:23:25,778
We've looked for jobs before.
335
00:23:25,820 --> 00:23:27,298
I should never have come here at all.
336
00:23:27,322 --> 00:23:28,489
I knew it wasn't right.
337
00:23:28,531 --> 00:23:30,533
What wasn't right?
338
00:23:30,575 --> 00:23:34,120
Coming to live here
with you and your mother.
339
00:23:34,162 --> 00:23:36,247
You've been wonderful to me.
340
00:23:36,289 --> 00:23:38,666
And this is the way
I'm repaying you,
341
00:23:38,708 --> 00:23:39,792
getting you discharged.
342
00:23:39,834 --> 00:23:42,419
You're working yourself up
over nothing, Mary.
343
00:23:42,462 --> 00:23:44,815
What if I do lose a job now and then?
344
00:23:44,839 --> 00:23:46,567
What difference does it make?
345
00:23:46,591 --> 00:23:50,070
Come on, let's all go out
and have a good time tonight.
346
00:23:50,094 --> 00:23:52,698
Oh, Bob, your mother's
fixed a lovely supper for us.
347
00:23:52,722 --> 00:23:54,283
The lovely supper will keep.
348
00:23:54,307 --> 00:23:55,367
Bob is right.
349
00:23:55,391 --> 00:23:57,870
What you two need is to go out
and enjoy yourselves.
350
00:23:57,894 --> 00:24:00,289
Yeah,
we can't let a chance like this go by.
351
00:24:00,313 --> 00:24:02,690
I may not get fired again
for a long time.
352
00:24:02,732 --> 00:24:04,483
I've got some mending to do.
353
00:24:04,525 --> 00:24:06,318
You children go along by yourselves.
354
00:24:06,361 --> 00:24:09,030
Come now.
Come and get all dressed up.
355
00:24:09,072 --> 00:24:10,698
There you are.
356
00:24:16,371 --> 00:24:19,832
(unintelligible).
357
00:24:25,755 --> 00:24:27,900
Did someone knock, Bob?
358
00:24:27,924 --> 00:24:30,986
I thought I heard a knock.
359
00:24:31,010 --> 00:24:32,886
There's no one out here.
360
00:24:34,681 --> 00:24:37,117
Come on, get your hat, Bob.
361
00:24:37,141 --> 00:24:38,202
Run along, dear.
362
00:24:38,226 --> 00:24:40,353
- Have a good time.
- Goodnight.
363
00:24:41,396 --> 00:24:43,689
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight, Mom.
364
00:25:15,596 --> 00:25:18,283
Now, don't feel that way.
365
00:25:18,307 --> 00:25:20,475
Nothing important has happened.
366
00:25:20,518 --> 00:25:23,747
The thing that gets me
is that I was expecting a promotion,
367
00:25:23,771 --> 00:25:25,689
and you know what that meant.
368
00:25:25,732 --> 00:25:26,983
I'm not gonna wait any longer.
369
00:25:27,025 --> 00:25:29,861
As soon as I get a job again,
we're going to be married.
370
00:25:29,902 --> 00:25:32,112
There's no sense in waiting.
371
00:25:34,449 --> 00:25:36,409
Well, if it ain't the long lost child.
372
00:25:36,451 --> 00:25:37,469
Hello there, Ritzie.
373
00:25:37,493 --> 00:25:40,162
Well, it was a long time finding ya.
374
00:25:40,204 --> 00:25:41,622
I think you've made a mistake.
375
00:25:41,664 --> 00:25:44,208
You made a mistake, baby,
thinking you could keep out of sight.
376
00:25:44,250 --> 00:25:47,253
- Come on, Bob.
- So this is the old hideaway, is it?
377
00:25:47,295 --> 00:25:50,506
Well, I guess you know Thunderbolt's
been looking high and low for ya, don't ya?
378
00:25:50,548 --> 00:25:51,984
Why didn't you let him know
where you were?
379
00:25:52,008 --> 00:25:53,318
Drop him a postcard or something.
380
00:25:53,342 --> 00:25:55,112
I'm not interested in Thunderbolt.
381
00:25:55,136 --> 00:25:57,698
You're not, huh?
382
00:25:57,722 --> 00:26:02,222
And this is the Kewpie that made a sucker
out of Thunderbolt, huh?
383
00:26:02,643 --> 00:26:05,914
Well, I wouldn't be in your shoes
for all the rice in China.
384
00:26:05,938 --> 00:26:07,397
Stay on the level, Ritzie.
385
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,817
What have you been doing
with yourself all this time?
386
00:26:09,859 --> 00:26:11,277
Take your hand off her.
387
00:26:11,319 --> 00:26:12,504
Don't shove me.
388
00:26:12,528 --> 00:26:14,071
I'll shove ya.
389
00:26:14,113 --> 00:26:15,507
Well, I'll teach you to shove me.
390
00:26:15,531 --> 00:26:17,616
Look out, Bob, he's got a gun!
391
00:26:23,164 --> 00:26:24,641
Come on, Bob, let's go back upstairs.
392
00:26:24,665 --> 00:26:26,875
I'd like to take another sock at that guy.
393
00:26:26,918 --> 00:26:28,252
You've hurt your hand too.
394
00:26:28,294 --> 00:26:29,336
Come on, Bob.
395
00:26:31,714 --> 00:26:35,069
Did you fall downstairs?
396
00:26:35,093 --> 00:26:39,114
- Why, what happened?
- He fell downstairs, the poor man.
397
00:26:39,138 --> 00:26:42,201
I'd put a piece of fresh beef steak
on that eye if I were you.
398
00:26:42,225 --> 00:26:43,786
Well, you ain't me.
399
00:26:43,810 --> 00:26:46,705
My sister always puts a key
down the back of her neck
400
00:26:46,729 --> 00:26:48,480
to stop a nosebleed.
401
00:26:48,523 --> 00:26:51,484
I'll slip something down the back of
your neck if you don't leave me alone.
402
00:26:51,526 --> 00:26:54,195
Where's the nearest telephone
around here?
403
00:26:54,237 --> 00:26:56,781
Well, here,
don't you dare go near there.
404
00:26:56,823 --> 00:27:00,076
Oh, I just hate to see anybody hurt.
405
00:27:01,786 --> 00:27:04,079
Oh, now a squalling baby.
406
00:27:06,165 --> 00:27:08,041
Why, what's the matter?
407
00:27:08,084 --> 00:27:11,128
Nothing.
She talked me out of going out.
408
00:27:11,170 --> 00:27:13,463
You've hurt your hand.
What's happened?
409
00:27:13,506 --> 00:27:15,925
I guess I knocked it
against something.
410
00:27:18,803 --> 00:27:21,597
What's happened, Mary?
411
00:27:21,639 --> 00:27:24,118
We ran into a man I used to know.
412
00:27:24,142 --> 00:27:27,246
He tried to get fresh
and Bob had to hit him.
413
00:27:27,270 --> 00:27:29,814
Oh, I... I see, I...
414
00:27:31,149 --> 00:27:33,151
Well, we'll put something on it.
415
00:27:33,192 --> 00:27:34,419
- Don't bother, Mom.
- No, come on,
416
00:27:34,443 --> 00:27:36,088
we'll wash it out
and put some iodine on it.
417
00:27:36,112 --> 00:27:37,422
I don't want any of that stuff on it.
418
00:27:37,446 --> 00:27:40,240
Took a week for it to
wear off the last time.
419
00:27:41,826 --> 00:27:43,702
I don't want anything on it.
420
00:27:45,037 --> 00:27:46,913
That water could be hot.
421
00:27:48,207 --> 00:27:50,250
Mom, you treat me like I was a baby.
422
00:27:50,293 --> 00:27:51,919
That's all you act like
when you're hurt.
423
00:27:51,961 --> 00:27:53,045
Well, I ain't hurt.
424
00:27:53,087 --> 00:27:55,274
You got me mixed up
with the other guy.
425
00:27:55,298 --> 00:27:56,692
I'll bet you never touched
the other guy.
426
00:27:56,716 --> 00:27:59,820
Yeah? Well, no mother'
be able
to fix him up for a long time.
427
00:27:59,844 --> 00:28:03,013
That's what you say.
I'd like to see him to believe that.
428
00:28:07,143 --> 00:28:09,645
Answer the telephone, Mary.
429
00:28:18,446 --> 00:28:21,907
Mary, answer the telephone.
430
00:28:27,496 --> 00:28:28,538
Hello?
431
00:28:33,711 --> 00:28:36,088
How's every little thing?
432
00:28:40,676 --> 00:28:43,261
I'll be coming up your way.
433
00:28:47,767 --> 00:28:50,370
I can't, eh?
434
00:28:50,394 --> 00:28:52,771
I'll come right down.
435
00:28:52,813 --> 00:28:54,773
What for?
436
00:28:54,815 --> 00:28:57,317
It won't make any difference
to your boyfriend.
437
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,945
You might as well say goodbye
to him now.
438
00:28:59,987 --> 00:29:03,365
I just called up
to give you fair warning.
439
00:29:10,831 --> 00:29:12,976
- Let's put this iodine on it.
- I don't want any iodine.
440
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,752
Now hold still, hold still.
441
00:29:16,545 --> 00:29:18,296
Ouch. Ow!
442
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,277
Now look what you've done.
443
00:29:22,301 --> 00:29:23,820
All over my clean floor.
444
00:29:23,844 --> 00:29:25,679
I'll clean it up.
445
00:29:27,139 --> 00:29:28,325
Not my towels!
446
00:29:28,349 --> 00:29:29,993
Ouch.
447
00:29:30,017 --> 00:29:32,829
Do nothing but buy towels for this place.
448
00:29:32,853 --> 00:29:34,414
Look out there now.
449
00:29:34,438 --> 00:29:37,816
You know I keep
the floor cloths under here.
450
00:29:37,858 --> 00:29:39,067
Look at that iodine.
451
00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:40,486
You never can get that up.
452
00:29:40,528 --> 00:29:42,714
Well, I told you not to bring it out,
didn't I?
453
00:29:42,738 --> 00:29:44,030
I'd like to put some on your...
454
00:29:44,073 --> 00:29:45,908
Jiggers, Mom, I'm gettin' sore now.
455
00:29:45,950 --> 00:29:48,160
Well, what do you do if you get sore?
456
00:29:48,202 --> 00:29:49,846
Well, I'll show you,
I'm bigger than you are.
457
00:29:49,870 --> 00:29:51,580
Yes, well...
458
00:29:51,622 --> 00:29:53,892
- Give me the napkin.
- Not look, you'll get your hands all dirty.
459
00:29:53,916 --> 00:29:55,959
Give me that rag.
Give me that rag.
460
00:29:56,002 --> 00:29:58,629
I'm telling you, there's nothing...
461
00:29:58,671 --> 00:29:59,713
Bob, now, stop it.
462
00:29:59,755 --> 00:30:01,858
You're nothing but a big baby.
463
00:30:01,882 --> 00:30:04,152
NOW Will you stop it?
464
00:30:04,176 --> 00:30:05,218
Let go.
465
00:30:07,430 --> 00:30:10,617
Say, Bob, now who do you think I am?
466
00:30:10,641 --> 00:30:12,577
You're not fighting with
that fella down there!
467
00:30:12,601 --> 00:30:14,936
Yeah, I'm working with you, Mom.
468
00:30:19,775 --> 00:30:21,234
Stop it!
469
00:30:21,277 --> 00:30:23,570
Bob, please! Ow!
470
00:31:27,301 --> 00:31:29,219
Go on, get out of here. Beat it.
471
00:31:39,855 --> 00:31:41,356
I can't find her.
472
00:31:41,399 --> 00:31:44,568
Well, now don't worry, she's only gone
to the grocer's or something.
473
00:31:44,610 --> 00:31:47,446
I know, but she's been gone
such a long time.
474
00:31:47,488 --> 00:31:49,698
But here's her pocketbook and gloves.
475
00:31:49,740 --> 00:31:51,843
- She'll be back soon.
- Now, I'm worried.
476
00:31:51,867 --> 00:31:53,345
Well, I'm the one
that ought to be worried
477
00:31:53,369 --> 00:31:56,080
with the dinner getting cold
and everything.
478
00:31:56,122 --> 00:31:58,082
Do you think we oughta call
the police?
479
00:31:58,124 --> 00:32:02,169
Now, Bob, don't be so silly.
480
00:32:02,211 --> 00:32:04,922
She'll be back in less than no time.
481
00:32:08,300 --> 00:32:09,342
Hello?
482
00:32:38,664 --> 00:32:41,583
Katie! Katie!
483
00:32:42,835 --> 00:32:43,877
Yes?
484
00:32:44,753 --> 00:32:46,296
Are you calling me, Annie?
485
00:32:46,338 --> 00:32:48,150
You and Bill better come right up.
486
00:32:48,174 --> 00:32:49,925
The radio's working again.
487
00:32:49,967 --> 00:32:52,886
I'll be up in a minute,
Bill ain't home yet.
488
00:33:20,539 --> 00:33:22,832
Hey, listen,
I thought I told you to beat it.
489
00:33:22,875 --> 00:33:24,001
Now, come on, go home.
490
00:33:24,043 --> 00:33:26,211
I got work to do. Come on, boy.
491
00:33:26,253 --> 00:33:28,630
Nice little dog. Come on.
492
00:33:30,299 --> 00:33:31,735
Come on.
493
00:33:31,759 --> 00:33:34,136
Come on, come on.
494
00:33:35,346 --> 00:33:36,388
Come on.
495
00:33:38,098 --> 00:33:40,118
Come on, boy.
496
00:33:40,142 --> 00:33:41,578
Come on.
497
00:33:41,602 --> 00:33:42,829
Come on, boy.
498
00:33:42,853 --> 00:33:43,895
Come on.
499
00:33:47,316 --> 00:33:48,400
Come on, boy.
500
00:33:48,442 --> 00:33:49,484
Come on, boy.
501
00:33:50,653 --> 00:33:51,820
Come on!
502
00:33:51,862 --> 00:33:53,780
Come on, boy.
503
00:33:59,370 --> 00:34:01,121
Come on, boy.
504
00:34:01,163 --> 00:34:02,205
Come on.
505
00:34:05,376 --> 00:34:07,878
Come on, boy.
506
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,254
Come on.
507
00:34:09,296 --> 00:34:10,690
Come on, boy.
508
00:34:10,714 --> 00:34:11,756
Come on.
509
00:34:21,850 --> 00:34:24,102
Ain't he cute?
510
00:34:28,691 --> 00:34:32,695
I just love dogs.
511
00:34:43,998 --> 00:34:45,040
Come on.
512
00:34:48,127 --> 00:34:49,461
Come on.
513
00:34:49,503 --> 00:34:51,254
Come on, get out of here, get out.
514
00:34:51,297 --> 00:34:53,340
Go on, get out. Beat it!
515
00:34:54,383 --> 00:34:55,425
Stay out.
516
00:35:18,490 --> 00:35:20,051
Now, Bob, don't go near that door.
517
00:35:20,075 --> 00:35:21,659
I'm not going near the door, Mom.
518
00:35:21,702 --> 00:35:23,662
Come on away now.
519
00:35:33,297 --> 00:35:34,774
There's that bark again.
520
00:35:34,798 --> 00:35:37,068
Well, what if a dog does bark?
521
00:35:37,092 --> 00:35:39,279
I didn't know there was a dog in the house.
522
00:35:39,303 --> 00:35:41,823
Don't go out, Bob.
523
00:35:41,847 --> 00:35:43,992
Please, for my sake.
524
00:35:44,016 --> 00:35:46,768
Don't go out until Mary returns.
525
00:35:48,937 --> 00:35:50,332
What are you barking for?
526
00:35:50,356 --> 00:35:52,107
I thought I told you to beat it.
527
00:35:52,191 --> 00:35:54,234
You're going for a walk.
528
00:36:09,708 --> 00:36:11,251
You poor little mutt.
529
00:36:11,293 --> 00:36:12,544
Go on home.
530
00:36:12,586 --> 00:36:14,296
If you've got a home.
531
00:36:14,338 --> 00:36:16,131
I've got no time to play with you now.
532
00:36:16,173 --> 00:36:19,384
Put up your hands,
you're under arrest.
533
00:36:26,266 --> 00:36:27,600
All right, put 'em up.
534
00:36:29,144 --> 00:36:30,979
And keep 'em up.
535
00:36:33,315 --> 00:36:34,983
Frisk him, Bill.
536
00:36:51,166 --> 00:36:53,168
Slip the bracelets on him.
537
00:37:05,013 --> 00:37:06,574
Get back up there.
What are you doing up here?
538
00:37:06,598 --> 00:37:09,077
Go on, go wait upstairs.
539
00:37:09,101 --> 00:37:11,061
Go on, upstairs, everybody.
540
00:37:12,855 --> 00:37:15,023
Come on, keep movin' there, keep movin'.
541
00:37:17,609 --> 00:37:20,194
Wait up there, now go on,
now get back up there.
542
00:37:23,991 --> 00:37:27,703
Well, well, well, Thunderbolt.
543
00:37:29,163 --> 00:37:31,748
Long time no see.
544
00:37:42,801 --> 00:37:45,321
You guys are all alike.
545
00:37:45,345 --> 00:37:49,845
No brains, no brains.
546
00:37:49,933 --> 00:37:52,894
Your dame told us
you were coming here.
547
00:38:00,486 --> 00:38:03,572
A lot of help you were.
548
00:38:03,614 --> 00:38:07,326
To think it took a mutt like you
to send me up.
549
00:38:07,367 --> 00:38:08,618
I didn't know you had a dog.
550
00:38:08,660 --> 00:38:10,161
Is he yours?
551
00:38:10,204 --> 00:38:12,289
He is now.
552
00:38:12,331 --> 00:38:15,083
He cost me plenty.
553
00:38:16,460 --> 00:38:18,128
Ain't he beautiful?
554
00:38:18,170 --> 00:38:19,963
I wouldn't brag about him.
555
00:38:20,005 --> 00:38:21,756
Come on, boys.
556
00:39:00,462 --> 00:39:01,671
Let me go down there.
557
00:39:01,713 --> 00:39:02,714
Let me!
558
00:39:02,756 --> 00:39:04,359
What right have you got
to keep me back?
559
00:39:04,383 --> 00:39:05,425
Just stay back.
560
00:39:07,302 --> 00:39:08,363
Oh, Bob.
561
00:39:08,387 --> 00:39:09,781
What is the matter, Mary,
what happened?
562
00:39:09,805 --> 00:39:12,283
Go into the... go into the house,
go on, children.
563
00:39:12,307 --> 00:39:14,911
I wonder what she's got to do with it.
564
00:39:14,935 --> 00:39:15,977
I don't know.
565
00:39:41,712 --> 00:39:44,131
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
566
00:39:44,172 --> 00:39:46,442
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
567
00:39:46,466 --> 00:39:50,966
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
568
00:39:51,847 --> 00:39:54,349
<i>Brother, you ought to been there</i>
569
00:39:54,391 --> 00:39:56,870
<i>Yes, my Lord</i>
570
00:39:56,894 --> 00:40:01,394
<i>A-sitting in the kingdom
for to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
571
00:40:01,982 --> 00:40:04,335
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
572
00:40:04,359 --> 00:40:06,569
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
573
00:40:06,612 --> 00:40:11,112
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
574
00:40:11,533 --> 00:40:14,702
<i>Sister, you ought to been there</i>
575
00:40:14,745 --> 00:40:18,123
<i>Yes, my Lord</i>
576
00:40:18,165 --> 00:40:22,665
<i>A-sitting in the kingdom
for to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
577
00:40:24,630 --> 00:40:27,483
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
578
00:40:27,507 --> 00:40:30,236
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
579
00:40:30,260 --> 00:40:34,760
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
580
00:40:36,725 --> 00:40:39,579
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
581
00:40:39,603 --> 00:40:42,897
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
582
00:40:42,940 --> 00:40:47,440
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
583
00:41:02,334 --> 00:41:06,834
Say,
this piano will need tuning pretty soon.
584
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,756
Yes.
585
00:41:11,009 --> 00:41:15,509
I wish there were a way of telling
when a human being's out of tune.
586
00:41:22,646 --> 00:41:25,523
Couldn't be more comfortable at the Ritz.
587
00:41:25,565 --> 00:41:26,941
One-Way Street, huh?
588
00:41:26,984 --> 00:41:29,987
Everything coming in
and nothing going out.
589
00:41:44,459 --> 00:41:47,378
Now take care of yourself
and don't catch cold.
590
00:41:47,421 --> 00:41:49,256
Plenty of blankets here.
591
00:41:49,297 --> 00:41:50,775
And look out for pneumonia.
592
00:41:50,799 --> 00:41:53,510
Don't want to give this place
a bad name.
593
00:42:09,234 --> 00:42:13,613
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
594
00:42:13,655 --> 00:42:17,367
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
595
00:42:18,285 --> 00:42:22,785
<i>I want to go to Heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
596
00:42:27,836 --> 00:42:31,172
Hey, Number 3!
597
00:42:32,549 --> 00:42:35,236
Hey you, new guy.
598
00:42:35,260 --> 00:42:37,238
You're Number 3.
599
00:42:37,262 --> 00:42:39,323
You might as well get
me right from the start.
600
00:42:39,347 --> 00:42:42,744
I'm Number 1 anywhere.
601
00:42:42,768 --> 00:42:47,268
Well, Number 3 or... or Number 1
or whatever you are,
602
00:42:47,439 --> 00:42:50,775
do you sing tenor?
603
00:42:50,817 --> 00:42:52,151
Who me?
604
00:42:52,194 --> 00:42:54,362
I kill tenors.
605
00:42:55,864 --> 00:42:58,658
Oh, a tough guy, hey?
606
00:42:58,700 --> 00:43:01,119
Too bad you ain't a tenor.
607
00:43:01,161 --> 00:43:04,414
We had a swell quartet,
608
00:43:04,456 --> 00:43:07,041
but they took our tenor yesterday.
609
00:43:08,168 --> 00:43:10,336
Hey, Number 4.
610
00:43:10,378 --> 00:43:12,838
What does that new bird look like?
611
00:43:14,299 --> 00:43:18,780
Well, ain't much to be said about him.
612
00:43:18,804 --> 00:43:19,888
Pretty big.
613
00:43:21,223 --> 00:43:25,723
Got a mug on him
like they use to scare babies with.
614
00:43:25,977 --> 00:43:27,663
Looks like he cuts his hair with a...
615
00:43:27,687 --> 00:43:30,022
Oh, close your trap.
616
00:43:30,065 --> 00:43:33,544
Say, is that you, Thunderbolt?
617
00:43:33,568 --> 00:43:35,319
That's me.
618
00:43:35,362 --> 00:43:39,862
Reading from left to right, Thunderbolt.
619
00:43:39,991 --> 00:43:41,534
Who wants to know?
620
00:43:41,576 --> 00:43:44,829
Don't tell me that you've forgotten me.
621
00:43:44,871 --> 00:43:47,248
Wait, that sounds like Chuck.
622
00:43:47,290 --> 00:43:49,125
Is that you, kid?
623
00:43:49,167 --> 00:43:52,336
The kid himself, sure thing.
624
00:43:52,379 --> 00:43:56,192
Say, what are you in for, big boy?
625
00:43:56,216 --> 00:43:58,402
Being kind to animals.
626
00:43:58,426 --> 00:44:02,740
I just got too interested in a dog,
that's all.
627
00:44:02,764 --> 00:44:05,076
You know any more jokes?
628
00:44:05,100 --> 00:44:08,103
This place is for killers.
629
00:44:12,858 --> 00:44:14,985
Who is that, a friend of yours, Chuck?
630
00:44:15,026 --> 00:44:18,487
Friend of mine?
I should say not.
631
00:44:18,530 --> 00:44:22,033
How long you gonna stop in our hotel, Jim?
632
00:44:22,075 --> 00:44:23,993
About eight weeks.
633
00:44:24,035 --> 00:44:27,204
Anybody else in here I oughta know?
634
00:44:27,247 --> 00:44:29,374
Holler roll for him, boys.
635
00:44:29,416 --> 00:44:33,916
Joe Ripley, been here so long
I've forgotten what I'm in for.
636
00:44:33,962 --> 00:44:36,506
Kentucky Sampson.
637
00:44:36,548 --> 00:44:39,443
Caught on the 13th job.
638
00:44:39,467 --> 00:44:43,967
I was that good, the jury brought in a verdict
of guilty before they went out to lunch.
639
00:44:44,472 --> 00:44:47,975
I'm next door, Jim, Number 5.
640
00:44:50,103 --> 00:44:52,415
Hey, Pat, give me a light, will ya?
641
00:44:52,439 --> 00:44:54,649
<i>Everybody talkin' 'bout Heaven
ain't goin' there</i>
642
00:44:54,733 --> 00:44:57,152
<i>Heaven, Heaven</i>
643
00:44:57,194 --> 00:45:00,739
<i>Gonna shout all over,
goin' to Heaven</i>
644
00:45:00,780 --> 00:45:03,115
Leave those matches here, will you, Pat?
645
00:45:03,158 --> 00:45:05,034
I would (unintelligible).
646
00:45:05,076 --> 00:45:07,578
Sure, you know it's against the rules.
647
00:45:07,621 --> 00:45:11,291
And furthermore, my name is not Pat.
648
00:45:11,333 --> 00:45:13,376
- What is your name?
- Don't tell him!
649
00:45:13,418 --> 00:45:16,254
Make him guess!
650
00:45:16,296 --> 00:45:18,089
Number 6.
651
00:45:18,131 --> 00:45:21,676
Making my exit today.
652
00:45:21,718 --> 00:45:24,447
<i>I got a song, you got a song</i>
653
00:45:24,471 --> 00:45:27,366
<i>All of God's children got a song</i>
654
00:45:27,390 --> 00:45:30,912
Number 7 is at the piano.
655
00:45:30,936 --> 00:45:34,123
Special dispensation from the warden.
656
00:45:34,147 --> 00:45:37,668
Number 8, (unintelligible) Roberts.
657
00:45:37,692 --> 00:45:40,027
Murder in the first degree.
658
00:45:40,070 --> 00:45:42,113
Brought up by honest parents.
659
00:45:42,155 --> 00:45:45,491
At least, they was honest as far as I know.
660
00:45:45,533 --> 00:45:50,033
Absolutely on the level
until my 12th birthday.
661
00:45:55,335 --> 00:45:59,774
Number 9's still in the hospital, I guess.
662
00:45:59,798 --> 00:46:03,277
Number 10, now broadcasting.
663
00:46:03,301 --> 00:46:06,155
Bad AI Frieberg, that's me.
664
00:46:06,179 --> 00:46:09,909
I guess I don't have to tell you who I am.
665
00:46:09,933 --> 00:46:12,078
Maybe you should.
666
00:46:12,102 --> 00:46:14,288
I never heard of you.
667
00:46:14,312 --> 00:46:15,998
Don't kid me.
668
00:46:16,022 --> 00:46:18,107
Everybody heard about me.
669
00:46:18,149 --> 00:46:21,443
There was whole pages in
the papers when I was caught
670
00:46:21,486 --> 00:46:23,529
Pictures and everything.
671
00:46:23,571 --> 00:46:28,071
The Machine Gun Terror,
that's what they call me.
672
00:46:29,077 --> 00:46:31,954
Oh yes, I remember you now.
673
00:46:31,997 --> 00:46:35,166
The Machine Gun Terror, huh?
674
00:46:35,208 --> 00:46:39,420
Well,
down my way they call you Squirt Gun AI.
675
00:46:39,462 --> 00:46:41,630
I'll squirt gun you, you big stick.
If I ever...
676
00:46:41,673 --> 00:46:46,010
Oh, you big fat head,
I bet you bragged your way into the joint.
677
00:46:48,513 --> 00:46:49,824
Come on, Number 7.
678
00:46:49,848 --> 00:46:51,850
Back to your cell.
679
00:47:13,538 --> 00:47:18,038
As I was saying, I was absolutely
on the level until my 12th birthday,
680
00:47:19,502 --> 00:47:24,002
and then, well,
nothing much happened until I was 37.
681
00:47:25,008 --> 00:47:27,844
Then I blew up over a dame!
682
00:47:29,304 --> 00:47:31,657
You're not the only one.
683
00:47:31,681 --> 00:47:33,242
You said it.
684
00:47:33,266 --> 00:47:36,162
There's a dame behind
every guy in this joint.
685
00:47:36,186 --> 00:47:38,456
That was the trouble with me.
686
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,149
The dames wouldn't let me alone.
687
00:47:41,191 --> 00:47:45,691
I wouldn't be here now if two skirts
hadn't fell for me at the same time.
688
00:47:48,198 --> 00:47:50,450
Yeah, I know.
689
00:47:50,492 --> 00:47:54,992
Fell for you, you mean tripped
trying to get out of your way.
690
00:47:57,707 --> 00:47:59,625
Say, listen.
691
00:47:59,667 --> 00:48:01,669
I've had about enough out of you.
692
00:48:01,711 --> 00:48:05,066
I'd show you something if they let
me out of here a couple of minutes.
693
00:48:05,090 --> 00:48:06,567
You big cluck!
694
00:48:06,591 --> 00:48:09,153
What would you do, big boy?
695
00:48:09,177 --> 00:48:10,821
I'd do plenty.
696
00:48:10,845 --> 00:48:12,847
Don't you worry about that.
697
00:48:12,889 --> 00:48:16,285
I ain't afraid of you or that
phony right hand of yours.
698
00:48:16,309 --> 00:48:19,580
Sure you're not,
699
00:48:19,604 --> 00:48:22,523
with these bars between us.
700
00:48:33,868 --> 00:48:36,161
- Hello, Mr. Moran.
- Hello, Jack.
701
00:48:36,204 --> 00:48:38,372
- How are you?
- Fine.
702
00:48:55,056 --> 00:48:57,618
Well, what can I do for you?
703
00:48:57,642 --> 00:49:00,246
Well, you sent for me, Mr. Corwin.
704
00:49:00,270 --> 00:49:02,289
I did nothing of the sort.
705
00:49:02,313 --> 00:49:04,023
That's funny.
706
00:49:04,065 --> 00:49:08,319
Your secretary phoned the house yesterday
and left word that you wanted to see me.
707
00:49:16,453 --> 00:49:18,037
Miss Randall has gone to lunch.
708
00:49:18,079 --> 00:49:20,164
Is there anything I can do for you, sir?
709
00:49:20,206 --> 00:49:22,374
No, never mind.
710
00:49:22,417 --> 00:49:25,044
I don't see why she
should've called you up.
711
00:49:25,086 --> 00:49:27,671
There's nothing I want to see you about.
712
00:49:30,049 --> 00:49:32,968
Then I'm sorry I bothered you.
713
00:49:46,065 --> 00:49:48,233
Got a match, buddy?
714
00:49:56,451 --> 00:49:58,244
Take it easy, Moran.
715
00:49:58,286 --> 00:50:01,455
Come on there, all of you,
get your hands up.
716
00:50:01,498 --> 00:50:02,624
Keep 'em up!
717
00:50:02,665 --> 00:50:06,043
High up there, face the wall!
718
00:50:06,085 --> 00:50:08,670
Come on, do as I tell you.
719
00:50:23,478 --> 00:50:27,978
Even a bank ain't safe
from these gangsters.
720
00:50:29,526 --> 00:50:32,487
- Come on, come on.
- Hey!
721
00:50:46,167 --> 00:50:48,085

730

Just got some great news.

Getting out of here?

That doesn't worry me.

this minute, do you hear?

Now listen, AI, listen to reason.

We've got to execute you tonight.
760
00:53:07,934 --> 00:53:10,412
Besides, you haven't got a chance, AI.
761
00:53:10,436 --> 00:53:12,915
That gun's empty.
762
00:53:12,939 --> 00:53:16,317
- How do you know?
- We caught the guy who sold it to you.
763
00:53:16,359 --> 00:53:19,070
I'll show you whether it's empty or not!
764

Ah, don't point that thing at me!
765

I'll fill you full of lead
if it's the last thing I do!
772
00:53:39,465 --> 00:53:43,965
Yes, and if I was the warden I'd take that gat
away from you and shove it down your throat.
773
00:53:44,512 --> 00:53:48,325
If I could only get close enough
to take a crack at you!
774
00:53:48,349 --> 00:53:52,849
You haven't got the nerve it takes
to crack a slot machine.

Get out of the way, boys!
776

00:54:05,199 --> 00:54:07,177
Give me that gun, you rat.
778
00:54:07,201 --> 00:54:09,620
Give it to you?
779
00:54:09,662 --> 00:54:11,872

Thanks, Mike.
791
00:55:06,093 --> 00:55:08,864
My name is not Mike.
792
00:55:08,888 --> 00:55:10,848
I'll guess it.
793
00:55:15,186 --> 00:55:16,914
Just a little accident, doc.
794
00:55:16,938 --> 00:55:19,899
Somebody hit him.
795
00:55:19,941 --> 00:55:22,485
What'd he hit him with, a Sledgehammer?
796
00:55:28,407 --> 00:55:30,117
Looks a like a very dangerous concussion.
797
00:55:30,159 --> 00:55:33,662
It won't be fatal, will it?
798
00:55:33,704 --> 00:55:36,665
Listen, doc,
you've just got to see that this man lives.
799
00:55:36,707 --> 00:55:38,041
Do something!
800
00:55:38,084 --> 00:55:39,835
I've got to execute him tonight.
801
00:55:39,877 --> 00:55:42,504
Take him to the hospital
and put him on the table.
802
00:55:45,216 --> 00:55:47,801
He's certainly had a terrible shock.
803
00:55:49,345 --> 00:55:51,221
Be careful with him, boys.
804
00:55:54,976 --> 00:55:57,162
You shouldn't have hit that man so hard,
Jim.
805
00:55:57,186 --> 00:55:59,665
Don't worry about him, warden.
806
00:55:59,689 --> 00:56:01,399
He'll come out of it in a couple of hours.
807
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,651
I just tapped him.
808
00:56:04,694 --> 00:56:06,779
Well, anyway, I'm much obliged to you,
809
00:56:06,821 --> 00:56:11,033
and if there's any little favor I could
do for you, that is, within reason.
810
00:56:11,075 --> 00:56:14,745
Well, if it isn't asking too much,
811
00:56:14,787 --> 00:56:18,665
I would like to have that
dog of mine in here with me.
812
00:56:18,708 --> 00:56:21,419
Well, I guess we can
fix that up for you all right.

But I no sooner get rid of one
than they send me another.
816
00:56:32,013 --> 00:56:34,992
You sure pulled me out of an awful mess.
817
00:56:35,016 --> 00:56:36,869
It was a pleasure, warden.
818
00:56:36,893 --> 00:56:40,163
I'd have been in a tough spot
if this thing had broken in the papers.
819
00:56:40,187 --> 00:56:42,541
Think of the scandal!
820
00:56:42,565 --> 00:56:45,276
I'll fix that dog thing up
for you in a day or two.
821

00:56:57,121 --> 00:56:59,498
<i>When that old conductor yells</i>
826
00:56:59,540 --> 00:57:02,251
<i>All aboard, all aboard</i>
827
00:57:02,293 --> 00:57:05,254
<i>All aboard for Alabam</i>
828
00:57:05,296 --> 00:57:09,796
<i>Alabam, Alabam</i>
829
00:57:16,933 --> 00:57:19,870
Couldn't be more comfortable at the Ritz.
830
00:57:19,894 --> 00:57:21,955
And don't you give me any trouble!
831
00:57:21,979 --> 00:57:24,398
I'm having trouble enough around here.
832
00:57:28,694 --> 00:57:31,530
I'll see you later, Number 4.
833
00:57:50,216 --> 00:57:52,718
Hey, Number 4!
834
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,077
He's calling you, new guy.
835
00:58:00,101 --> 00:58:01,954
You're Number 4.
836
00:58:01,978 --> 00:58:04,498
What are you in for, new guy?
837
00:58:04,522 --> 00:58:07,399
They were robbing a bank
and someone got killed,
838
00:58:07,441 --> 00:58:10,610
and they found a revolver in my pocket.
839
00:58:10,653 --> 00:58:13,197
You didn't have anything to do with it,
did you?
840
00:58:13,239 --> 00:58:14,531
Not a thing.
841
00:58:14,573 --> 00:58:16,241
That's fine.
842
00:58:16,283 --> 00:58:18,702
Now tell us another bedtime story.
843
00:58:21,038 --> 00:58:24,750
Hey, what does he look like, Number 3?
844
00:58:28,963 --> 00:58:33,402
Swing around there, buddy,
so I can get a good look at you.
845
00:58:33,426 --> 00:58:37,096
Don't be bashful, I'm not gonna bite you.
846
00:58:40,099 --> 00:58:44,413
Well, he ain't so bad to look at, I guess.
847
00:58:44,437 --> 00:58:48,458
He's got a face like those fellows
on the collar ads,
848
00:58:48,482 --> 00:58:52,611
and I ain't sure but what
he's got a dimple or two.
849
00:58:52,653 --> 00:58:57,153
Beautiful hair and kind of a mushy mouth.
850
00:58:57,366 --> 00:59:00,994
Looks like one of those lady killers,
if you ask me.
851
00:59:02,496 --> 00:59:06,996
The kind a silly dame is bound to fall for.
852
00:59:09,211 --> 00:59:11,713
What's your name, new guy?
853
00:59:15,217 --> 00:59:17,612
Moran, Bob Moran.
854
00:59:17,636 --> 00:59:19,512
Moran, huh?
855
00:59:19,555 --> 00:59:24,055
Say, ain't you the guy I been reading about
that stole Thunderbolt's girl?
856
00:59:24,852 --> 00:59:28,081
<i>Take me out to the ball game</i>
857
00:59:28,105 --> 00:59:30,982
<i>Take me out with the crowd</i>
858
00:59:31,025 --> 00:59:32,526
<i>Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack</i>
859
00:59:32,610 --> 00:59:37,110
It might interest you to know
the guy across the way from you
860
00:59:37,239 --> 00:59:40,992
is a party by the name of Thunderbolt.
861
00:59:41,035 --> 00:59:43,662
You two guys oughta know each other better.
862
00:59:43,704 --> 00:59:48,204
<i>One, two, three strikes, you're out,
at the old ball game</i>
863
00:59:49,418 --> 00:59:52,003
You put me in here, you framed me!
864
00:59:52,046 --> 00:59:54,465
You know I'm innocent, you're in on it!
865
00:59:54,507 --> 00:59:57,360
I'd like to get my hands on you just once!
866
00:59:57,384 --> 01:00:00,072
Just once, just once!
867
01:00:00,096 --> 01:00:02,741
<i>If I never get back,
let me root, root, root</i>
868
01:00:02,765 --> 01:00:04,618
You've got me wrong, kid.
869
01:00:04,642 --> 01:00:06,536
I've never done anything to you.
870
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:11,060
You're a dirty liar, you framed me,
you got me into this!
871
01:00:11,273 --> 01:00:14,776
I'm not afraid of you, I'm not scared!
872
01:00:14,819 --> 01:00:17,571
I'm not afraid to die!
873
01:00:28,499 --> 01:00:32,377
Over, lay over.
874
01:00:32,419 --> 01:00:35,380
Thatta boy, there.
875
01:00:37,508 --> 01:00:39,402
Say, Thunderbolt!
876
01:00:39,426 --> 01:00:43,865
If it's all the same to you, will you stop
teaching that dog to roll over and play dead?
877
01:00:43,889 --> 01:00:46,099
He's giving me the willies.
878
01:01:22,469 --> 01:01:24,489
Get the handcuff crew.
879
01:01:24,513 --> 01:01:27,576
Hey, up there on the upper deck,
front and center.
880
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:29,435
Yo!
881
01:01:38,736 --> 01:01:42,740
The district attorney wants to see you,
down in my office.
882
01:01:45,618 --> 01:01:46,827
What does he want?
883
01:01:46,869 --> 01:01:48,245
I don't know.
884
01:01:49,997 --> 01:01:53,583
Well,
I don't want him bothering me anymore.
885
01:01:53,626 --> 01:01:56,170
I got enough to worry about as it is.
886
01:01:56,212 --> 01:02:00,712
Well, you haven't got much longer
to worry about anything.
887
01:02:01,425 --> 01:02:04,571
So you've set the date for my kick-off,
have you?
888
01:02:04,595 --> 01:02:06,031
Yup.
889
01:02:06,055 --> 01:02:09,367
I've got two for the
week of January the 7th.
890
01:02:09,391 --> 01:02:11,995
Who's the other one?
891
01:02:12,019 --> 01:02:15,957
Moran goes on Monday
and you're set for Saturday.
892
01:02:15,981 --> 01:02:18,066
That's great.
893
01:02:20,152 --> 01:02:23,238
You know, I was glad that your lawyers
got you that temporary reprieve
894
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,490
so that you could be
around a little while longer.
895
01:02:25,532 --> 01:02:27,784
You don't take it so hard.
896
01:02:27,826 --> 01:02:30,370
But some of these other fellas...
897
01:02:30,412 --> 01:02:33,498
- Come on, get him out of there.
- Hey, warden!
898
01:02:37,419 --> 01:02:41,464
I may be seconds to death,
but you've got no right to make me listen
899
01:02:41,507 --> 01:02:45,362
to that same piece of music
every time that band plays here.
900
01:02:45,386 --> 01:02:47,447
It's cruel and inhuman.
901
01:02:47,471 --> 01:02:51,224
I come here for rest and recreation.
902
01:02:53,185 --> 01:02:55,789
You're just plain ungrateful, that's all.
903
01:02:55,813 --> 01:02:57,666
I'm sorry you ever came here.
904
01:02:57,690 --> 01:03:00,192
So am I!
905
01:03:03,654 --> 01:03:06,239
Come on, bring him out.
906
01:03:49,783 --> 01:03:51,993
Sit down, Jim.
907
01:03:55,748 --> 01:03:57,458
How are you, McKay?
908
01:03:57,499 --> 01:03:59,751
Let's get down to cases, Jim.
909
01:03:59,793 --> 01:04:02,128
You know me and you
know the kind of a man I am.
910
01:04:02,171 --> 01:04:03,255
Yeah.
911
01:04:03,297 --> 01:04:06,151
I don't want to send an
innocent man to his death.
912
01:04:06,175 --> 01:04:10,030
As a matter of fact, I'd fight just as hard
to get an innocent man out of here
913
01:04:10,054 --> 01:04:12,490
as I would fight to put
a guilty man in here.
914
01:04:12,514 --> 01:04:14,075
All right, I'll vote for you.
915
01:04:14,099 --> 01:04:16,578
What are you running for?
916
01:04:16,602 --> 01:04:18,812
This is a serious matter, Jim.
917
01:04:18,854 --> 01:04:20,749
It'll pay you to be serious about it.
918
01:04:20,773 --> 01:04:23,984
I may be helping to snuff out the life
of an innocent man.
919
01:04:24,026 --> 01:04:26,611
You mean you're sorry for railroading me?
920
01:04:26,653 --> 01:04:29,947
Several people have been to see me
about Bob Moran.
921
01:04:29,990 --> 01:04:34,490
He's the man you were going to kill
the night you were caught.
922
01:04:35,621 --> 01:04:37,748
I was going to kill?
923
01:04:37,790 --> 01:04:40,250
You got me mixed up with somebody.
924
01:04:40,292 --> 01:04:43,920
I make it a point never to kill any Morans.
925
01:04:45,756 --> 01:04:47,984
Then why did you go
to his apartment that night?
926
01:04:48,008 --> 01:04:49,819
I'll bite, why did I?
927
01:04:49,843 --> 01:04:52,530
You tell me, you know everything.
928
01:04:52,554 --> 01:04:54,449
That kind of an attitude won't help you...
929
01:04:54,473 --> 01:04:56,826
I'm not looking for help.
930
01:04:56,850 --> 01:04:59,978
When I want your help, I'll let you know.
931
01:05:27,005 --> 01:05:29,007
Do you know this lady?
932
01:05:30,717 --> 01:05:33,863
No, who is she?
933
01:05:33,887 --> 01:05:36,931
Bob Moran is my son.
934
01:05:40,769 --> 01:05:42,979
He's my only child.
935
01:05:46,608 --> 01:05:51,108
I came down here to ask you
to help me to save him.
936
01:05:56,243 --> 01:06:00,080
Well, I guess it's no use, is it?
937
01:06:00,122 --> 01:06:03,667
What's the idea of pulling
this sob stuff on me?
938
01:06:03,709 --> 01:06:05,794
Just a minute.
939
01:06:12,551 --> 01:06:15,738
Oh, Mary.
940
01:06:15,762 --> 01:06:17,221
Oh!
941
01:06:21,310 --> 01:06:23,937
Jim, you're not going
through with this, are you?
942
01:06:23,979 --> 01:06:26,940
What are you talking about?
943
01:06:27,024 --> 01:06:28,316
I know you, Jim.
944
01:06:28,358 --> 01:06:31,903
You're a killer, but you were always fair.
945
01:06:31,945 --> 01:06:33,655
You were never mean.
946
01:06:33,697 --> 01:06:35,699
You were never cruel.
947
01:06:35,741 --> 01:06:38,452
Have I got to listen
to all this junk, warden?
948
01:06:38,494 --> 01:06:40,871
No, not if you don't want to.
949
01:06:40,913 --> 01:06:42,873
You listen to me, Jim.
950
01:06:42,915 --> 01:06:45,792
You had Bob framed for that killing.
951
01:06:45,834 --> 01:06:48,044
You said you would get him and you did.
952
01:06:48,086 --> 01:06:50,254
What's the idea?
953
01:06:50,297 --> 01:06:53,383
What are you trying
to frame up on me here?
954
01:07:00,057 --> 01:07:04,037
I guess that'll be all, warden.
955
01:07:04,061 --> 01:07:05,937
Oh, Mary.
956
01:07:13,946 --> 01:07:17,199
Jim, those two women need that boy.
957
01:07:17,241 --> 01:07:21,741
If there's anything you can say
that will help them, say it now.
958
01:07:24,122 --> 01:07:26,624
Home, James.
959
01:07:39,805 --> 01:07:44,244
I don't see how I can
win him off for you folks.
960
01:07:44,268 --> 01:07:48,164
You mean,
you mean you won't reopen the case?
961
01:07:48,188 --> 01:07:50,416
There's nothing I can do.
962
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:52,608
The only chance we had
was for him to confess.
963
01:07:52,651 --> 01:07:54,277
But it was clear from his attitude.
964
01:07:54,319 --> 01:07:57,989
- Surely you could see...
- Attitudes don't count, I'm sorry.
965
01:07:58,031 --> 01:08:00,450
We need evidence.
966
01:08:28,478 --> 01:08:30,813
All right, lock him up!
967
01:08:58,050 --> 01:09:00,486
I guess you'd like to get close to Moran,
wouldn't you?
968
01:09:00,510 --> 01:09:02,155
Well, you're not going to!
969
01:09:02,179 --> 01:09:03,865
Why not?
970
01:09:03,889 --> 01:09:05,098
I wouldn't hurt him.
971
01:09:05,140 --> 01:09:06,909
Not much, you wouldn't.
972
01:09:06,933 --> 01:09:08,703
I can't quite get your angle.
973
01:09:08,727 --> 01:09:11,080
Aren't you satisfied he's
going to be executed?
974
01:09:11,104 --> 01:09:12,540
What more do you want?
975
01:09:12,564 --> 01:09:15,650
I don't settle my debts that way.
976
01:09:15,692 --> 01:09:18,277
I'm going to get him myself.
977
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:21,197
If you ever get any closer to him
than you are right now,
978
01:09:21,239 --> 01:09:23,866
it'll be over my dead body!
979
01:10:03,031 --> 01:10:07,531
Dearly beloved, we are gathered together
here in sight of God
980
01:10:08,370 --> 01:10:12,870
and in the face of this company to join together
this man and this woman in holy matrimony,
981
01:10:16,253 --> 01:10:20,753
which is an honorable estate
and is not by any to be entered into
982
01:10:20,966 --> 01:10:25,466
unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently.
983
01:10:26,179 --> 01:10:30,679
Into this holy estate, these two
persons present come now to be joined.
984
01:10:31,309 --> 01:10:35,809
If any man can show just cause why
they may not lawfully be joined together,
985
01:10:36,606 --> 01:10:41,106
let him now speak or else hereafter
forever hold his peace.
986
01:10:43,321 --> 01:10:46,907
Wilt thou have this woman
to be thy wedded wife?
987
01:10:46,950 --> 01:10:51,450
Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor
and keep her in sickness and in health,
988
01:10:53,582 --> 01:10:58,082
and forsaking all others, keep thee only
unto her so long as you both shall live?
989
01:11:02,174 --> 01:11:03,651
I Will.
990
01:11:03,675 --> 01:11:06,946
Wilt thou have this man
to be thy wedded husband?
991
01:11:06,970 --> 01:11:11,470
Wilt thou obey him and serve him, love,
honor, and keep him in sickness and in health,
992
01:11:14,102 --> 01:11:18,602
and forsaking all others, keep thee only
unto him so long as you both shall live?
993
01:11:22,611 --> 01:11:24,112
I Will.
994
01:11:24,154 --> 01:11:28,032
Who giveth this woman
to be married to this man?
995
01:11:29,868 --> 01:11:31,619
I do.
996
01:11:34,372 --> 01:11:37,041
Repeat after me.
997
01:11:37,083 --> 01:11:41,583
- With this ring I thee wed.
- With this ring I thee wed.
998
01:11:42,923 --> 01:11:47,423
- And with all my worldly goods, I thee endow.
- And with all my worldly goods, I thee endow.
999
01:11:53,016 --> 01:11:57,516
Those whom God hath joined together,
let no man put asunder.
1000
01:11:58,271 --> 01:12:02,441
I now pronounce you man and wife.
1001
01:12:02,484 --> 01:12:04,235
Oh, my poor children.
1002
01:12:04,277 --> 01:12:06,862
Oh, my poor children!
1003
01:12:06,905 --> 01:12:10,116
I'm sorry but your time is up.
1004
01:12:12,118 --> 01:12:13,744
You'll have to go now, Mrs. Moran.
1005
01:12:13,787 --> 01:12:15,246
Oh, my boy!
1006
01:12:15,288 --> 01:12:17,790
Just a minute, warden.
1007
01:12:19,835 --> 01:12:24,335
Let me be the first
to give them a wedding present.
1008
01:12:24,923 --> 01:12:28,444
Moran doesn't belong in here.
1009
01:12:28,468 --> 01:12:30,947
They were right.
1010
01:12:30,971 --> 01:12:33,765
I had him framed.
1011
01:12:39,729 --> 01:12:42,208
Jim.
1012
01:12:42,232 --> 01:12:44,234
You keep out of this.
1013
01:12:44,276 --> 01:12:48,776
I'm talking to the warden,
and get away from me
1014
01:12:49,239 --> 01:12:52,659
before I change my mind.
1015
01:12:52,701 --> 01:12:55,245
What did he say, dear?
What did he say?
1016
01:12:55,287 --> 01:12:58,581
He means that Bob is going to be free now.
1017
01:13:05,881 --> 01:13:08,174
You're to blame for this!
1018
01:13:08,216 --> 01:13:11,070
I've been in this racket now for 30 years
1019
01:13:11,094 --> 01:13:14,198
and this is the first time
I ever saw anything like this happen.
1020
01:13:14,222 --> 01:13:17,577
Four hours before an execution!
1021
01:13:17,601 --> 01:13:21,539
Before anything else happens, I'm going
to call up the governor and get a stay.
1022
01:13:21,563 --> 01:13:24,524
Maybe you better take my statement first.
1023
01:13:24,566 --> 01:13:26,234
I know what to do!
1024
01:13:26,276 --> 01:13:28,486
I've been running a jail all my life.
1025
01:13:28,528 --> 01:13:32,240
Don't you try to teach me my business.
1026
01:13:32,282 --> 01:13:35,535
Come on, you two,
you've just got to go now.
1027
01:13:35,577 --> 01:13:37,704
You'll have to leave now, madam.
1028
01:13:40,624 --> 01:13:42,292
I knew you'd come through, Jim.
1029
01:13:42,334 --> 01:13:44,252
Oh, leave me alone.
1030
01:13:44,294 --> 01:13:46,379
Oh, thank you.
1031
01:13:46,421 --> 01:13:49,006
Thank you, Mr. Thunderbolt.
1032
01:14:04,564 --> 01:14:06,649
Go on, close it.
1033
01:14:23,166 --> 01:14:25,251
You've done a wonderful thing, Jim.
1034
01:14:27,462 --> 01:14:30,882
Well, I've been here a long time now
1035
01:14:30,924 --> 01:14:35,424
and I'm shuffling off
at the end of the week.
1036
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:40,220
I've had a lot of time
to think things over.
1037
01:14:50,193 --> 01:14:52,195
Better lie down, Bob.
1038
01:14:52,237 --> 01:14:55,114
Try and get some sleep.
1039
01:14:55,156 --> 01:14:56,782
I wanna speak to him.
1040
01:14:56,825 --> 01:14:58,785
I wanna thank him.
1041
01:14:58,827 --> 01:15:02,080
I wanna shake his hand.
1042
01:15:02,122 --> 01:15:06,622
We'll shake hands on Saturday when I go.
1043
01:15:10,171 --> 01:15:12,381
Hey, Thunderbolt!
1044
01:15:12,424 --> 01:15:15,069
What's the idea, you going nuts?
1045
01:15:15,093 --> 01:15:18,012
I thought you didn't like that guy!
1046
01:15:25,937 --> 01:15:28,791
A little music, professor.
1047
01:15:28,815 --> 01:15:33,315
<i>Summertime, summertime</i>
1048
01:15:33,695 --> 01:15:38,195
<i>We will be together in sunny weather</i>
1049
01:15:38,366 --> 01:15:42,703
<i>Down the lane once again</i>
1050
01:15:42,746 --> 01:15:46,875
<i>Sweetheart, you and I!</i>
1051
01:15:46,916 --> 01:15:51,211
<i>Summertime, summertime</i>
1052
01:15:51,254 --> 01:15:55,754
<i>Wedding bells will chime</i>
1053
01:15:56,426 --> 01:15:59,196
<i>All will be sunny</i>
1054
01:15:59,220 --> 01:16:01,513
<i>Peaches, cream, and honey</i>
1055
01:16:01,556 --> 01:16:06,056
<i>In the summertime</i>
1056
01:16:10,690 --> 01:16:12,983
Aw, now don't argue with me.
1057
01:16:13,026 --> 01:16:17,526
I just left Thunderbolt playing checkers
with Moran and I know what I'm talking about.
1058
01:16:18,239 --> 01:16:20,407
He had to get Moran reprieved.
1059
01:16:20,450 --> 01:16:24,162
He's always had his mind set on
bumping off this cluck all by his self
1060
01:16:24,204 --> 01:16:27,999
and this is the only way he could do it.
1061
01:16:28,041 --> 01:16:31,252
You guys give me a pain.
1062
01:16:31,294 --> 01:16:33,713
No imagination.
1063
01:16:36,091 --> 01:16:40,591
He's gonna wait until they opens up the
door to take him for the last walk, see?
1064
01:16:42,472 --> 01:16:46,869
Then he's gonna go over to say goodbye
to the boyfriend.
1065
01:16:46,893 --> 01:16:48,871
Now, get me.
1066
01:16:48,895 --> 01:16:51,791
I'm Thunderbolt and you're the kid, see?
1067
01:16:51,815 --> 01:16:55,544
They opens up the cell door
and starts me for the walk.
1068
01:16:55,568 --> 01:17:00,068
Then I goes over to say goodbye
to the boyfriend.
1069
01:17:01,116 --> 01:17:03,952
I sticks out the left hand.
1070
01:17:03,993 --> 01:17:05,285
See, boys?
1071
01:17:05,328 --> 01:17:09,540
This is the minute
that Thunderbolt's been waiting for.
1072
01:17:09,582 --> 01:17:13,961
Well, "80 long, pal," I says.
1073
01:17:14,003 --> 01:17:18,503
And then socko right through the bar.
1074
01:17:32,272 --> 01:17:33,690
All right.
1075
01:17:36,359 --> 01:17:39,195
Hey, wait a minute.
1076
01:17:39,237 --> 01:17:42,156
This invitation is for
last week's execution.
1077
01:17:42,198 --> 01:17:46,698
What do you think we do here,
give out rain checks?
1078
01:17:46,870 --> 01:17:48,162
Out.
1079
01:17:51,624 --> 01:17:53,208
What a heart.
1080
01:17:53,251 --> 01:17:55,294
Good for a hundred years.
1081
01:17:57,380 --> 01:17:59,632
It oughta be.
1082
01:17:59,674 --> 01:18:02,259
It's only been jilted once.
1083
01:18:04,345 --> 01:18:07,848
She's Mrs. Moran now.
1084
01:18:22,989 --> 01:18:25,783
Hey, gimme a light, will you, Timothy?
1085
01:18:33,333 --> 01:18:34,500
What's the matter, Moran?
1086
01:18:34,542 --> 01:18:39,042
Aren't you happy
now that you're getting out of here?
1087
01:18:39,088 --> 01:18:40,798
I'm not worried about myself.
1088
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:43,652
I'm getting out in a couple of weeks
the warden said.
1089
01:18:43,676 --> 01:18:45,905
I'm worried about you.
1090
01:18:45,929 --> 01:18:48,640
Don't you worry about me.
1091
01:18:53,144 --> 01:18:56,457
Hey, Timothy, these clothes don't fit me.
1092
01:18:56,481 --> 01:18:58,083
Take a squint at them.
1093
01:18:58,107 --> 01:19:00,609
How do you think I'm going to look?
1094
01:19:00,652 --> 01:19:03,154
What do you care how you're going to look?
1095
01:19:03,196 --> 01:19:06,032
You're not going anywhere.
1096
01:19:06,074 --> 01:19:09,452
And my name is not Timothy!
1097
01:19:09,494 --> 01:19:11,078
Well, don't get sore about it.
1098
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:13,872
I'll guess it before I'm through.
1099
01:19:19,087 --> 01:19:22,882
Come on, boy, we got
a couple of minutes more to play.
1100
01:20:14,017 --> 01:20:18,517
Whereas... give me your attention, Jim.
1101
01:20:18,563 --> 01:20:21,065
Whereas at a trial time on the...
1102
01:20:23,568 --> 01:20:27,280
You don't need to read
that death warrant to me, warden.
1103
01:20:27,322 --> 01:20:30,450
I know it backwards.
1104
01:20:30,491 --> 01:20:32,261
- I beg your pardon...
- Don't you bother me now
1105
01:20:32,285 --> 01:20:34,662
when I've got my mind
full of a million details.
1106
01:20:34,704 --> 01:20:36,414
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir, no, sir!
1107
01:20:36,456 --> 01:20:38,207
Yes, sir.
1108
01:20:40,501 --> 01:20:42,669
I knew I'd forgotten something.
1109
01:20:42,712 --> 01:20:43,921
What do you want for lunch?
1110
01:20:43,963 --> 01:20:45,441
You can have anything you want, you know.
1111
01:20:45,465 --> 01:20:47,276
All we've got to do is to bring it in.
1112
01:20:47,300 --> 01:20:49,802
Lunch, what time is it?
1113
01:20:49,844 --> 01:20:51,238
Three minutes after eleven.
1114
01:20:51,262 --> 01:20:53,032
What time is the big show?
1115
01:20:53,056 --> 01:20:55,159
11:20.
1116
01:20:55,183 --> 01:20:59,496
So you're going to give
me 17 minutes to eat it, huh?
1117
01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:03,208
Well, I'm not going to bolt
my food down in a hurry.
1118
01:21:03,232 --> 01:21:07,732
I'd have indigestion all afternoon.
1119
01:21:07,820 --> 01:21:09,780
I'll tell you what I would like to have,
warden.
1120
01:21:09,822 --> 01:21:12,282
Anything within reason, Jim.
1121
01:21:12,325 --> 01:21:14,994
- I'd like to have a good shot of...
- Nothing doing.
1122
01:21:15,036 --> 01:21:18,456
The only stuff we've got is in the hospital
and you've got to be sick to get it.
1123
01:21:18,498 --> 01:21:19,582
Well, I'm sick.
1124
01:21:19,624 --> 01:21:21,667
Who's got a better right to be?
1125
01:21:21,709 --> 01:21:23,794
You are sick, aren't you?
1126
01:21:23,836 --> 01:21:26,046
On the level, you don't feel good, do you?
1127
01:21:26,089 --> 01:21:27,882
I feel terrible.
1128
01:21:27,924 --> 01:21:30,527
I feel like I'm going to die.
1129
01:21:30,551 --> 01:21:34,198
Hey, guys, Thunderbolt
says he don't feel so good!
1130
01:21:34,222 --> 01:21:36,724
He feels like he's gonna die!
1131
01:21:42,772 --> 01:21:46,275
Well, I'll see what I can do about
getting you a little something.
1132
01:21:51,656 --> 01:21:53,157
How do you feel, Jim?
1133
01:21:53,199 --> 01:21:54,325
Same as ever.
1134
01:21:54,367 --> 01:21:56,452
The same as ever?
1135
01:21:56,494 --> 01:21:57,953
Yup.
1136
01:21:57,995 --> 01:22:00,497
You and me can't do any business.
1137
01:22:00,540 --> 01:22:04,669
I've lived all my life
without what you stand for
1138
01:22:04,710 --> 01:22:08,213
and I guess I'll have to die the same way.
1139
01:22:08,256 --> 01:22:12,756
You don't mind my sticking around
in case you change your mind?
1140
01:22:13,136 --> 01:22:15,888
Make yourself right at home.
1141
01:22:15,930 --> 01:22:18,033
Hey, Thunderbolt.
1142
01:22:18,057 --> 01:22:22,371
What do you want us to sing
when you're going to your dance?
1143
01:22:22,395 --> 01:22:26,625
I don't know, what have you got?
1144
01:22:26,649 --> 01:22:29,360
Well, how about Brokenhearted?
1145
01:22:29,402 --> 01:22:31,987
That oughta fit you like a glove.
1146
01:22:32,029 --> 01:22:36,158
<i>There she is, my old gal</i>
1147
01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:40,700
<i>There he is, my old pal</i>
1148
01:22:40,913 --> 01:22:45,413
<i>And here am I, brokenhearted</i>
1149
01:22:48,129 --> 01:22:50,840
How do you like that?
1150
01:22:50,882 --> 01:22:53,050
That's not so bad.
1151
01:22:55,219 --> 01:22:57,763
How do you like it, Moran?
1152
01:23:10,276 --> 01:23:12,236
Here you are.
1153
01:23:24,081 --> 01:23:26,208
You better take this, warden.
1154
01:23:26,250 --> 01:23:28,835
You need it worse than I do.
1155
01:23:36,886 --> 01:23:39,323
I certainly did need it.
1156
01:23:39,347 --> 01:23:41,783
You ought to be glad
you haven't got my job.
1157
01:23:41,807 --> 01:23:44,601
You have no idea what I go through.
1158
01:23:57,949 --> 01:23:59,617
Don't you worry, boy.
1159
01:23:59,659 --> 01:24:02,536
It's me that's going, not you.
1160
01:24:02,578 --> 01:24:05,122
- Everything all set?
- Yup!
1161
01:24:12,797 --> 01:24:14,673
Let's go.
1162
01:24:24,684 --> 01:24:26,703
So long, Shorty.
1163
01:24:26,727 --> 01:24:27,829
See you soon.
1164
01:24:27,853 --> 01:24:28,997
Thanks, Thunderbolt.
1165
01:24:29,021 --> 01:24:30,374
Send us a postcard.
1166
01:24:30,398 --> 01:24:34,151
Sure, "X marks my room,
wish you were here."
1167
01:24:34,193 --> 01:24:36,820
Jim, aren't you gonna say goodbye to me?
1168
01:24:36,862 --> 01:24:39,155
Me not say goodbye to you?
1169
01:24:39,198 --> 01:24:41,575
I'll be back in a minute, Moran.
1170
01:24:41,617 --> 01:24:44,286
I'm saving you for the last.
1171
01:24:44,328 --> 01:24:48,165
<i>There she is, my old gal</i>
1172
01:24:48,207 --> 01:24:51,835
<i>There he is, my old pal</i>
1173
01:24:51,877 --> 01:24:56,377
<i>And here am I, brokenhearted</i>
1174
01:25:00,303 --> 01:25:04,616
<i>Mine in May, his in June</i>
1175
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:08,495
<i>She forgot mighty soon</i>
1176
01:25:08,519 --> 01:25:12,291
<i>And here am I, right here</i>
1177
01:25:12,315 --> 01:25:16,068
<i>Brokenhearted</i>
1178
01:25:16,152 --> 01:25:20,614
<i>The last time that we said goodbye</i>
1179
01:25:20,656 --> 01:25:24,534
<i>I knew that she was through</i>
1180
01:25:24,577 --> 01:25:29,077
<i>It's bad enough that I lost her</i>
1181
01:25:29,206 --> 01:25:33,706
<i>I had to lose him too</i>
1182
01:25:33,961 --> 01:25:38,423
<i>There they go, feel their joy</i>
1183
01:25:38,466 --> 01:25:42,779
<i>Happy girl, lucky boy</i>
1184
01:25:42,803 --> 01:25:47,303
<i>And here am I</i>
1185
01:25:47,642 --> 01:25:52,142
<i>Brokenhearted</i>
1186
01:25:59,528 --> 01:26:02,531
So long, pal.
1187
01:26:02,573 --> 01:26:06,243
I wish I could help you now, Jim,
the way you helped me.
1188
01:26:13,876 --> 01:26:18,005
Funny, sizing us two up,
1189
01:26:18,047 --> 01:26:22,547
nobody would ever think
you were the better man.
1190
01:26:23,427 --> 01:26:25,572
You're the better man, Jim.
1191
01:26:25,596 --> 01:26:28,116
You've taught me a let
these last couple of days.
1192
01:26:28,140 --> 01:26:32,640
You'll be seeing Ritzie soon,
won't you, Moran?
1193
01:26:36,315 --> 01:26:40,815
She's a great little girl, isn't she?
1194
01:26:41,153 --> 01:26:45,653
You were pretty lucky
to take her away from me, weren't you?
1195
01:26:46,617 --> 01:26:49,745
I didn't mean to tell you, Jim,
but I guess I will.
1196
01:26:49,787 --> 01:26:51,997
Somehow I think you ought to know.
1197
01:26:52,039 --> 01:26:53,832
I oughta know what?
1198
01:26:53,874 --> 01:26:56,585
I didn't take her away from you, Jim.
1199
01:26:56,627 --> 01:26:59,504
It was you that took her away from me.
1200
01:27:04,510 --> 01:27:07,155
I took her away from you?
1201
01:27:07,179 --> 01:27:11,679
We've always been sweethearts,
since we were kids, and then she met you.
1202
01:27:12,601 --> 01:27:16,498
I didn't amount to much
and she thought you were wonderful.
1203
01:27:16,522 --> 01:27:21,022
She never told me anything about that.
1204
01:27:23,195 --> 01:27:26,198
I guess I was nothing to brag about.
1205
01:27:32,163 --> 01:27:36,663
I always did have a peculiar habit of
taking things that didn't belong to me.
1206
01:27:40,004 --> 01:27:42,589
That's why I'm here.
1207
01:27:53,225 --> 01:27:57,725
You're kinda crazy about her, aren't you?
1208
01:27:57,855 --> 01:28:01,042
I love her, Jim.
1209
01:28:01,066 --> 01:28:05,566
Well, I guess I do too.
1210
01:28:05,696 --> 01:28:08,365
I still do.
1211
01:28:20,169 --> 01:28:21,795
Good luck, kid.
1212
01:28:21,837 --> 01:28:24,089
Good luck to you both.
1213
01:28:24,131 --> 01:28:27,134
Give her my love.
1214
01:28:27,176 --> 01:28:30,304
And take care of her, whatever you do.
1215
01:28:54,912 --> 01:28:59,412
Well, chaplain,
I might as well give you a break too.
1216
01:28:59,875 --> 01:29:01,918
Come on.
1217
01:29:27,736 --> 01:29:30,029
So long, old timer.
1218
01:29:30,072 --> 01:29:33,241
And don't take any wooden biscuits.
1219
01:29:39,039 --> 01:29:41,124
Hey, Dinty.
1220
01:29:41,166 --> 01:29:45,420
Come here, will ya,
and give me one more light?
1221
01:30:01,770 --> 01:30:04,791
Here, Dinty, I guess I'll quit smoking.
1222
01:30:04,815 --> 01:30:08,193
Thanks, and my name isn't Dinty.
1223
01:30:08,235 --> 01:30:12,322
And before you go, I want you to know
that my name is Aloysius
1224
01:30:12,364 --> 01:30:14,324
and you didn't guess it.
1225
01:30:16,076 --> 01:30:18,995
- Your name is what?
- Aloysius.
1226
01:30:22,458 --> 01:30:24,751
What did you say your name was?
1227
01:30:24,793 --> 01:30:27,754
Aloysius and you didn't guess it.
1228
01:30:31,342 --> 01:30:33,987
Who would've guessed it?
1229
01:30:34,011 --> 01:30:35,804
<i>No...</i>
1230
01:30:46,857 --> 01:30:48,984
He said...

Thunderbolt Jim Lang (George Bancroft), wanted on robbery and murder charges, ventures out with his girl, "Ritzy" (Fay Wray), to a Harlem nightclub, where she informs him that she is going straight. During a raid on the club, Thunderbolt escapes. His gang shadows Ritzy and reports that she is living with Mrs. Moran (Eugenie Besserer), whose son, Bob (Richard Arlen), a bank clerk, is in love with Ritzy. Fearing for Bob's safety, Ritzy engineers a police trap for Thunderbolt; he escapes but is later captured, tried, and sentenced to be executed at Sing Sing. From the death house, he successfully plots to frame Bob in a bank robbery and killing. Bob is placed in the facing cell, and guards frustrate Thunderbolt's attempts to get to his rival. When Ritzy marries Bob in the death house, Thunderbolt confesses his part in Bob's conviction. He plots to kill the boy on the night of his execution, but instead at the last minute his hand falls on Bob's shoulder in a gesture of friendship.

1
00:01:56,866 --> 00:01:58,051
Eleven o'clock.
2
00:01:58,075 --> 00:02:00,035
I didn't know it was so late.
3
00:02:06,584 --> 00:02:07,751
Goodnight.
4
00:02:07,793 --> 00:02:09,503
Goodnight, dear.
5
00:02:19,180 --> 00:02:21,015
Oh, Bob!
6
00:02:24,185 --> 00:02:26,103
You've got my gloves.
7
00:02:27,688 --> 00:02:30,899
That's funny, there's a pair of gloves
in my pocket.
8
00:02:30,941 --> 00:02:32,776
Are these yours?
9
00:02:33,778 --> 00:02:36,030
Let me put them on for you.
10
00:02:41,410 --> 00:02:43,829
Bob, I really must go now.
11
00:02:47,208 --> 00:02:48,709
Goodnight.
12
00:02:48,751 --> 00:02:53,251
And, honey, you will be on time
tomorrow night, won't you?
13
00:02:53,297 --> 00:02:55,859
You were late tonight
and I was worried.
14
00:02:55,883 --> 00:02:58,510
I'll try awfully hard, Bob.
15
00:03:16,862 --> 00:03:19,865
Just drive down the street a bit,
I'll tell you where to go later.
16
00:03:25,162 --> 00:03:26,830
I'll tell you where to go right now.
17
00:03:26,872 --> 00:03:28,832
Police headquarters.
18
00:03:47,727 --> 00:03:49,770
Go on, get up there.
19
00:03:56,026 --> 00:03:58,570
Well, well, well, if it isn't Ritzie.
20
00:03:58,612 --> 00:04:01,281
This is indeed an honor and a pleasure.
21
00:04:03,868 --> 00:04:06,370
It takes so little to give some
people pleasure, doesn't it?
22
00:04:06,412 --> 00:04:08,247
Where's Thunderbolt?
23
00:04:08,289 --> 00:04:10,541
- Who?
- Don't try any of that stuff on me.
24
00:04:10,583 --> 00:04:12,293
You know who I mean.
25
00:04:12,334 --> 00:04:13,974
In case your memory
has suddenly left you,
26
00:04:14,003 --> 00:04:17,149
let me remind you of Jim Lang,
sometimes called Jim Carson,
27
00:04:17,173 --> 00:04:20,277
sometimes called... well, sometimes
called anything in the world
28
00:04:20,301 --> 00:04:22,678
but always known as Thunderbolt.
29
00:04:26,557 --> 00:04:29,619
I suppose that you've never even heard
of the Hellinger case.
30
00:04:29,643 --> 00:04:32,228
Or the million-dollar
St. Louis Terminal job.
31
00:04:32,313 --> 00:04:36,813
Or the time that he held up
the Iroquois Bank single-handed.
32
00:04:36,984 --> 00:04:40,404
He's wanted right now by nine states
for bank robbery,
33
00:04:40,446 --> 00:04:44,946
and there's two more that'd like to
talk to him on a little matter of murder.
34
00:04:45,242 --> 00:04:47,953
Now maybe you can remember who he is.
35
00:04:49,371 --> 00:04:52,165
Quit your stalling. Where is he?
36
00:04:52,208 --> 00:04:54,418
I don't know what you're talking about.
37
00:04:54,460 --> 00:04:58,297
Don't you try to Ritz me, Ritzie.
38
00:05:02,384 --> 00:05:04,196
Where did you see him last?
39
00:05:04,220 --> 00:05:05,655
I don't remember.
40
00:05:05,679 --> 00:05:07,449
Oh, you won't talk, eh?
41
00:05:07,473 --> 00:05:09,534
Well, maybe you can tell me this.
42
00:05:09,558 --> 00:05:13,538
Who was the other half of the bench picnic
in the park tonight?
43
00:05:13,562 --> 00:05:15,730
Bench picnic?
44
00:05:15,773 --> 00:05:18,525
I was in the park tonight
but I was alone.
45
00:05:18,567 --> 00:05:20,735
Your men must be seeing double, Inspector.
46
00:05:20,778 --> 00:05:24,114
Oh, my men were seeing double,
were they?
47
00:05:26,575 --> 00:05:29,828
Well, here's the other half
of what they saw.
48
00:05:38,671 --> 00:05:40,190
I've had enough of this stalling.
49
00:05:40,214 --> 00:05:43,235
You two have been meeting night after night
for months and I know it.
50
00:05:43,259 --> 00:05:44,986
Well, supposing we have been meeting.
51
00:05:45,010 --> 00:05:46,655
Being in love is no crime yet.
52
00:05:46,679 --> 00:05:48,490
Maybe not,
but being in love with her
53
00:05:48,514 --> 00:05:51,642
is apt to cause you a lot of trouble,
young fellow.
54
00:05:53,561 --> 00:05:55,437
I wonder if you know
that she is the girlfriend
55
00:05:55,479 --> 00:05:58,190
of the most notorious criminal
this state has ever known.
56
00:05:58,232 --> 00:05:59,918
She's been a member of his gang
for two years,
57
00:05:59,942 --> 00:06:01,360
ever since she met him.
58
00:06:01,402 --> 00:06:02,820
I don't know
a woman in this city
59
00:06:02,862 --> 00:06:05,281
that knows more about him
and his affairs than she does.
60
00:06:05,322 --> 00:06:07,824
I know all about that.
That's all over now.
61
00:06:07,867 --> 00:06:09,761
- Where's Thunderbolt?
- I don't know and I don't care.
62
00:06:09,785 --> 00:06:12,496
- What do you do for a living?
- I work at a bank.
63
00:06:13,622 --> 00:06:17,917
How would you like to lose your job
and maybe work in a penitentiary?
64
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,062
That's where you're headed...
65
00:06:19,086 --> 00:06:21,129
You let him alone.
66
00:06:22,256 --> 00:06:23,483
He's on the level.
67
00:06:23,507 --> 00:06:25,443
He's got nothing to do with that crowd.
68
00:06:25,467 --> 00:06:28,613
Listen, Ritzie, you're a smart girl
and you can save yourself a lot of trouble
69
00:06:28,637 --> 00:06:30,740
by giving us a line on Thunderbolt.
70
00:06:30,764 --> 00:06:33,201
You know we can make it pretty hot for you.
71
00:06:33,225 --> 00:06:35,537
You've got nothing on me
and you know it.
72
00:06:35,561 --> 00:06:38,355
If you had,
you'd have locked me up long ago.
73
00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:40,858
I'm through with that mob for good.
74
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:45,400
Whatever mistakes I've made,
I've paid for in my own way.
75
00:06:47,865 --> 00:06:48,907
What do you say, Chief?
76
00:06:48,949 --> 00:06:51,034
Shall I take 'em down and book 'em?
77
00:06:51,076 --> 00:06:52,577
Never mind.
78
00:06:52,620 --> 00:06:55,456
You can go now.
79
00:06:55,497 --> 00:06:57,540
Let her go.
80
00:07:08,427 --> 00:07:10,429
Goodnight, Inspector.
81
00:07:11,555 --> 00:07:13,223
And thank you.
82
00:07:19,939 --> 00:07:22,358
Don't let that dame out of your sight.
83
00:07:22,399 --> 00:07:26,361
Thunderbolt will go through an iron wall
to see her.
84
00:07:26,403 --> 00:07:29,114
And we want to be there
when they meet.
85
00:07:29,156 --> 00:07:31,616
There's always the chance
of nabbing him
86
00:07:31,659 --> 00:07:34,244
as long as she's out.
87
00:08:05,234 --> 00:08:08,320
Good evening, Mr. Th-Th-Thunderbolt.
88
00:08:08,362 --> 00:08:09,946
I got your phone call.
89
00:08:09,989 --> 00:08:13,409
- The the best in the house.
- All right, Oscar.
90
00:08:16,745 --> 00:08:18,788
Check your hat, sir?
91
00:08:19,957 --> 00:08:21,458
No thanks.
92
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:24,377
I never know
when I'm going to leave in a hurry.
93
00:08:25,587 --> 00:08:28,506
I always like to have my hat be with me.
94
00:08:30,801 --> 00:08:34,280
Say, boy, am I seeing right?
95
00:08:34,304 --> 00:08:35,907
Is that Thunderbolt?
96
00:08:35,931 --> 00:08:38,159
Does that mean
there's gonna be any trouble?
97
00:08:38,183 --> 00:08:39,244
Maybe not.
98
00:08:39,268 --> 00:08:41,770
I'm keeping one foot (unintelligible).
99
00:09:12,885 --> 00:09:16,406
Say, (unintelligible) Thunderbolt?
100
00:09:16,430 --> 00:09:20,930
He hits you with that big right soupbone
and just ruins you,
101
00:09:21,060 --> 00:09:23,520
all in one little smackeroo.
102
00:09:23,604 --> 00:09:25,522
That's why they call him Thunderbolt.
103
00:09:25,606 --> 00:09:27,858
Say, one little piece of lead
104
00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:31,612
and the littlest guy'
leave even
as big... The biggest man dead.
105
00:09:31,653 --> 00:09:34,656
Say, why don't nobody take a shot at him?
106
00:09:34,698 --> 00:09:37,409
Well,
the cemetery's full of them that missed.
107
00:09:38,494 --> 00:09:40,662
Let's have some real service, Oscar.
108
00:09:40,704 --> 00:09:43,415
And your r-r-regular order, sir?
109
00:09:43,457 --> 00:09:44,499
Right.
110
00:09:44,541 --> 00:09:46,459
What are you going to have, baby?
111
00:09:46,502 --> 00:09:47,628
Nothing.
112
00:09:48,754 --> 00:09:52,192
That means she'll have a chicken sandwich
and a glass of milk.
113
00:09:52,216 --> 00:09:54,468
Y-y-yes, boss, yes.
114
00:09:57,721 --> 00:09:59,908
What's the matter, Ritzie,
what are you sore about?
115
00:09:59,932 --> 00:10:01,409
I'm not sore.
116
00:10:01,433 --> 00:10:03,810
What good would it do if I were?
117
00:10:07,272 --> 00:10:08,356
What are you looking at?
118
00:10:08,398 --> 00:10:12,777
I'm looking at nothing,
and it's wearing a tuxedo.
119
00:10:14,863 --> 00:10:15,989
Who are you talking to?
120
00:10:16,031 --> 00:10:18,259
Stay right with him, baby.
Don't let him get away with anything.
121
00:10:18,283 --> 00:10:20,410
You might be lightning
to a lot of people,
122
00:10:20,452 --> 00:10:23,580
but you're just a wet match to me.
123
00:10:37,094 --> 00:10:39,280
Say, you big bozo.
124
00:10:39,304 --> 00:10:41,533
That ain't no way to treat a lady.
125
00:10:41,557 --> 00:10:42,599
No?
126
00:10:44,226 --> 00:10:45,268
Give me that gun.
127
00:10:49,398 --> 00:10:52,943
So you don't like the way I treat a lady,
huh?
128
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,699
I ain't gonna wait
for that ham sandwich another minute.
129
00:10:58,740 --> 00:11:00,199
I ain't hungry. Is you?
130
00:11:00,242 --> 00:11:01,886
Oh boy, somebody better call an ambulance.
131
00:11:01,910 --> 00:11:04,203
You wait till I get home,
I'm gonna tell my husband.
132
00:11:04,246 --> 00:11:07,290
L-I-lady, why don't you stop?
133
00:11:07,332 --> 00:11:09,769
- There's gonna be trouble in here in a minute.
- I'm all wet.
134
00:11:09,793 --> 00:11:12,587
I told you he was gon' hit her.
135
00:11:12,629 --> 00:11:16,132
- Take it easy, huh, be careful.
- Are they gonna shoot again?
136
00:11:19,219 --> 00:11:21,239
- Snapper.
- Wait a minute.
137
00:11:21,263 --> 00:11:22,740
Get back there.
138
00:11:22,764 --> 00:11:25,285
Where do you guys think you're going?
139
00:11:25,309 --> 00:11:26,578
Watch 'em, Jimmy.
140
00:11:26,602 --> 00:11:28,204
I wanna go home.
141
00:11:28,228 --> 00:11:29,270
Sit down.
142
00:11:29,313 --> 00:11:32,733
Hey, the two of you men,
143
00:11:32,774 --> 00:11:34,692
clean up this mess out here.
144
00:11:34,735 --> 00:11:36,278
(unintelligible).
145
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,696
Everything all right, chief?
146
00:11:37,738 --> 00:11:38,905
Tough crowd here tonight.
147
00:11:38,947 --> 00:11:40,633
Yeah, how do you feel tonight, Snapper?
148
00:11:40,657 --> 00:11:42,367
Oh, fine, chief.
149
00:11:42,409 --> 00:11:43,827
Hello there, Ritzie.
150
00:11:43,869 --> 00:11:45,036
Have some nuts.
151
00:11:45,078 --> 00:11:46,245
Great for the system.
152
00:11:46,288 --> 00:11:48,415
Fills up the body.
153
00:11:48,457 --> 00:11:50,709
How about your mind?
154
00:11:55,172 --> 00:11:57,066
What do we do with her, Snapper?
155
00:11:57,090 --> 00:12:01,362
Oh, drag that cluck outta here, will ya?
156
00:12:01,386 --> 00:12:04,490
A couple of yous guys.
157
00:12:04,514 --> 00:12:06,265
Let me help you, Snapper.
158
00:12:07,142 --> 00:12:09,329
Hey, lay off that, will ya?
159
00:12:09,353 --> 00:12:11,897
That's my trigger finger.
160
00:12:11,939 --> 00:12:14,191
What a fine night this is.
161
00:12:15,234 --> 00:12:18,237
Oh, uh, listen up, boy.
162
00:12:18,278 --> 00:12:21,197
Oh, uh, oh, uh, get out of here.
163
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,282
Music, boys.
164
00:12:29,706 --> 00:12:33,251
I suppose you thought it was funny
starting that ruckus.
165
00:12:34,127 --> 00:12:37,023
Strikes me you could stand
a little cooling off.
166
00:12:37,047 --> 00:12:39,067
How would you like
a dose of it yourself?
167
00:12:39,091 --> 00:12:40,151
Go right ahead.
168
00:12:40,175 --> 00:12:42,760
I wouldn't put it past you for a minute.
169
00:12:49,393 --> 00:12:53,438
<i>When night is creepin'
and I should be sleepin' in bed</i>
170
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,608
What are you trying to do, baby,
get me sore?
171
00:12:56,650 --> 00:13:00,713
<i>If you were peepin'
you'd find that I'm weepin' instead</i>
172
00:13:00,737 --> 00:13:03,573
Jim, I'm going to quit.
173
00:13:03,615 --> 00:13:05,241
What, again?
174
00:13:05,284 --> 00:13:06,493
I mean it this time.
175
00:13:06,535 --> 00:13:08,245
I've been trying to tell you.
176
00:13:08,287 --> 00:13:10,539
I'm not going on with it anymore.
177
00:13:10,580 --> 00:13:13,082
- <i>I'm</i> through.
<i>- Night after night</i>
178
00:13:13,125 --> 00:13:14,543
Through with what?
179
00:13:14,584 --> 00:13:17,897
What are you talking about?
180
00:13:17,921 --> 00:13:19,399
All this.
181
00:13:19,423 --> 00:13:21,401
These people.
182
00:13:21,425 --> 00:13:22,467
You.
183
00:13:25,887 --> 00:13:29,075
<i>No one can fill
that vacant chair</i>
184
00:13:29,099 --> 00:13:31,035
We're going to have this out right now.
185
00:13:31,059 --> 00:13:32,870
<i>When you're not there</i>
186
00:13:32,894 --> 00:13:37,394
<i>No need to knock,
the door is open for you</i>
187
00:13:38,608 --> 00:13:41,944
<i>-Please, daddy</i>
-We'll <i>find</i> a place where <i>we can</i> talk.
188
00:13:43,947 --> 00:13:44,989
Come on.
189
00:13:47,075 --> 00:13:51,162
<i>Daddy, do you have to roam so very long?</i>
190
00:13:51,204 --> 00:13:52,872
Come on.
191
00:13:52,914 --> 00:13:57,414
<i>There's lots of other new sheiks
who would like to be sheikin'</i>
192
00:13:57,961 --> 00:13:59,837
Come on, baby.
193
00:14:00,881 --> 00:14:05,381
<i>Daddy, daddy, daddy,
won't you please come home?</i>
194
00:14:08,597 --> 00:14:11,743
<i>Night after night, I'm or yin'</i>
195
00:14:11,767 --> 00:14:15,079
<i>Daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
196
00:14:15,103 --> 00:14:18,022
<i>Daddy,
won't you please come home?</i>
197
00:14:18,065 --> 00:14:22,069
<i>I'm so lonesome</i>
198
00:14:22,110 --> 00:14:25,196
<i>No one can fill
that vacant chair</i>
199
00:14:25,238 --> 00:14:28,532
<i>Home isn't home
if you're not there</i>
200
00:14:28,575 --> 00:14:33,075
<i>No need to knock,
the door is open for you</i>
201
00:14:33,955 --> 00:14:35,373
<i>Sweet daddy</i>
202
00:14:35,415 --> 00:14:38,626
<i>Even the clock keeps tickin'</i>
203
00:14:38,668 --> 00:14:41,981
<i>Daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
204
00:14:42,005 --> 00:14:46,505
<i>Daddy, do you have to roam so very long?</i>
205
00:14:47,552 --> 00:14:52,052
<i>There's lots of other new sheiks
who would like to be sheikin'</i>
206
00:14:52,140 --> 00:14:55,453
<i>Haven't slipped yet,
but I'm liable to weaken</i>
207
00:14:55,477 --> 00:14:59,977
<i>Daddy, daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
208
00:15:13,787 --> 00:15:15,747
I don't get you at all.
209
00:15:15,789 --> 00:15:19,584
You tell me you want to step out tonight,
go somewhere that's lively.
210
00:15:19,626 --> 00:15:22,045
I risk my neck
by walking into this joint,
211
00:15:22,087 --> 00:15:25,191
with all the cops
in the world on my trail.
212
00:15:25,215 --> 00:15:26,984
There's a 10-to-1 shot
there's a couple of dicks
213
00:15:27,008 --> 00:15:30,613
shadowing you right now to get to me.
214
00:15:30,637 --> 00:15:32,657
It's all right with me.
215
00:15:32,681 --> 00:15:35,326
I can take care of myself.
216
00:15:35,350 --> 00:15:38,895
But I do all this,
I take this big chance,
217
00:15:38,937 --> 00:15:40,563
and your idea
of the way to behave
218
00:15:40,605 --> 00:15:44,877
is to start that foolishness
all over again.
219
00:15:44,901 --> 00:15:46,569
What's the big idea?
220
00:15:46,611 --> 00:15:48,070
It's just this, Jim.
221
00:15:48,113 --> 00:15:50,448
I want to be decent again.
222
00:15:50,490 --> 00:15:54,160
Well, babe, you've always been
the most decent kid in the racket.
223
00:15:58,039 --> 00:16:01,917
You know, I used to get a big kick
out of being your girl,
224
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,896
out of knowing that
you'd take a chance on your life
225
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,213
just to see me
for a few minutes.
226
00:16:18,894 --> 00:16:22,105
You're the swellest girl
I ever knew.
227
00:16:25,317 --> 00:16:28,862
You wouldn't want to keep me
if I didn't want to stay, would you, Jim?
228
00:16:28,904 --> 00:16:30,947
Wouldn't I?
229
00:16:32,199 --> 00:16:36,661
I'd keep you with me
if the whole world didn't want you to stay
230
00:16:36,703 --> 00:16:38,663
and make them like it.
231
00:16:38,705 --> 00:16:40,665
That's just it.
232
00:16:40,707 --> 00:16:43,751
I don't want people to respect me
because they're afraid
233
00:16:43,793 --> 00:16:45,753
you'll crush their heads
if they don't.
234
00:16:45,795 --> 00:16:48,733
I don't want the police trailing me
wherever I go.
235
00:16:48,757 --> 00:16:51,968
I don't want people pointing at me
and whispering about me.
236
00:16:52,010 --> 00:16:55,281
All this Ritzie talk, boiled down,
means that you...
237
00:16:55,305 --> 00:16:57,366
You're ashamed of me, huh?
238
00:16:57,390 --> 00:17:00,976
No, just ashamed of myself.
239
00:17:01,019 --> 00:17:03,646
I want to know people
who are different from you and me,
240
00:17:03,688 --> 00:17:06,315
people who lead decent, normal lives.
241
00:17:06,358 --> 00:17:09,194
People who get up in the morning
to go to work.
242
00:17:09,236 --> 00:17:10,779
Regular people.
243
00:17:10,820 --> 00:17:12,905
Oh, don't be a fool.
244
00:17:12,948 --> 00:17:14,824
I don't care what you call me, Jim.
245
00:17:14,866 --> 00:17:17,326
That's the way I'm going
to live from now on.
246
00:17:17,369 --> 00:17:18,995
I'm going to quit.
247
00:17:20,372 --> 00:17:22,874
Well, let me tell you something, Ritzie.
248
00:17:22,916 --> 00:17:25,376
Maybe I'd like to go straight too.
249
00:17:25,418 --> 00:17:27,461
I haven't thought about it much.
250
00:17:27,504 --> 00:17:29,649
Maybe I don't know how.
251
00:17:29,673 --> 00:17:33,468
But as long as I'm going my way,
you're going with me.
252
00:17:35,262 --> 00:17:38,115
You're all I've got
that means anything to me.
253
00:17:38,139 --> 00:17:39,492
Do you think I would...
254
00:17:39,516 --> 00:17:42,352
Oh, come on, let's have a good time.
255
00:17:44,312 --> 00:17:46,897
You'll feel better
in the morning.
256
00:17:57,033 --> 00:17:59,702
Wait a minute.
257
00:17:59,744 --> 00:18:03,330
You haven't fallen for another guy,
have you?
258
00:18:03,373 --> 00:18:05,792
- Who is he?
- There is no other guy, Jim.
259
00:18:05,834 --> 00:18:07,627
It's just that we're through.
260
00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:09,837
You and me will never be through, Ritzie.
261
00:18:09,879 --> 00:18:11,566
Get that straight.
262
00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:15,528
You're my girl and nobody on earth
can take you away from me.
263
00:18:15,552 --> 00:18:19,448
Do you think you could hold me
if I didn't love you anymore?
264
00:18:19,472 --> 00:18:20,992
That don't worry me.
265
00:18:21,016 --> 00:18:24,787
It's the guy that tries to take you away
from me that's got the worrying to do.
266
00:18:24,811 --> 00:18:29,311
Oh, I know, it would be easy enough for you
to get your gang to do anything.
267
00:18:29,482 --> 00:18:33,777
That's one job
I wouldn't let anybody do for me.
268
00:18:36,740 --> 00:18:39,200
Come on, baby.
269
00:18:39,242 --> 00:18:41,327
Come on.
270
00:18:52,213 --> 00:18:55,651
I'd get that guy by myself
271
00:18:55,675 --> 00:19:00,175
if it was the last thing
in this world I ever did.
272
00:19:15,904 --> 00:19:17,196
Uh-oh.
273
00:19:17,238 --> 00:19:21,242
W-w—w-what... what's that n-n-now?
274
00:19:21,284 --> 00:19:24,245
I told you this was gonna happen.
275
00:19:24,287 --> 00:19:27,999
Hey, get off my foot.
276
00:19:28,041 --> 00:19:29,459
Find that light switch.
277
00:19:29,501 --> 00:19:32,003
Don't get excited, folks,
it's only a little raid.
278
00:19:32,045 --> 00:19:34,857
Everybody who can stand to pitch
will kindly keep their seats.
279
00:19:34,881 --> 00:19:38,259
Stand still there or I'll shoot.
280
00:19:40,929 --> 00:19:42,281
Don't move.
281
00:19:42,305 --> 00:19:43,699
I ain't movin', boss.
282
00:19:43,723 --> 00:19:45,975
I've been pushed.
283
00:20:09,833 --> 00:20:11,668
Where is Thunderbolt?
Come clean.
284
00:20:11,710 --> 00:20:13,002
Where is he?
285
00:20:14,587 --> 00:20:16,380
I don't know.
286
00:20:19,008 --> 00:20:21,969
And I don't ever want to know.
287
00:20:45,410 --> 00:20:49,789
I want you men to get this
and get it straight.
288
00:20:49,831 --> 00:20:52,166
It's been two months since Thunderbolt
got away from you
289
00:20:52,208 --> 00:20:54,960
and he's got to be found.
290
00:20:55,003 --> 00:20:58,983
Thunderbolt's girl's been living up
at Young Moran's house for weeks
291
00:20:59,007 --> 00:21:01,277
with the kid and his mother.
292
00:21:01,301 --> 00:21:05,801
Don't tell me that that kid doesn't know
something about Thunderbolt.
293
00:21:07,015 --> 00:21:08,826
Put the works on him.
294
00:21:08,850 --> 00:21:10,578
He'll talk
295
00:21:10,602 --> 00:21:15,102
when it's a question of talking
or being out of a job.
296
00:21:27,035 --> 00:21:28,578
Mr. Corwin wants to see you, Bob.
297
00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:30,622
Okay, Jimmy.
298
00:21:44,427 --> 00:21:46,489
You sent for me, Mr. Corwin?
299
00:21:46,513 --> 00:21:47,555
Yes.
300
00:21:48,723 --> 00:21:49,765
Sit down.
301
00:22:03,279 --> 00:22:04,280
Hello, Mom.
302
00:22:05,448 --> 00:22:07,825
- You're late, Bob.
- Yeah, I stayed overtime.
303
00:22:07,867 --> 00:22:09,827
- Hello, dear.
- Hello.
304
00:22:09,869 --> 00:22:12,162
I'm so glad you're here, Bob,
we were worried.
305
00:22:12,205 --> 00:22:14,790
Oh, I'm sorry, Mary,
but there's nothing to worry about.
306
00:22:14,833 --> 00:22:16,477
Everything was all right at the bank,
wasn't it?
307
00:22:16,501 --> 00:22:18,669
Everything was perfect.
308
00:22:21,506 --> 00:22:23,776
Yes, sir, everything was perfect.
309
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,737
- Until about 4:00.
- What happened about 4:00?
310
00:22:26,761 --> 00:22:27,863
Nothing much.
311
00:22:27,887 --> 00:22:29,740
I just got fired.
312
00:22:29,764 --> 00:22:32,284
That's why I stayed late
to turn over my accounts.
313
00:22:32,308 --> 00:22:33,452
You're joking?
314
00:22:33,476 --> 00:22:35,621
I'm not joking, it's the truth.
315
00:22:35,645 --> 00:22:37,438
What was it, Bob?
What was the matter?
316
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,901
Nothing, Mr. Corwin and I just couldn't
agree on how a bank should be run.
317
00:22:43,069 --> 00:22:44,779
It was on my account, wasn't it?
318
00:22:44,821 --> 00:22:46,298
Don't be silly.
319
00:22:46,322 --> 00:22:48,991
Tell me, Bob, I've got to know.
320
00:22:49,033 --> 00:22:51,201
They just told me
I'd have to make a choice.
321
00:22:51,244 --> 00:22:52,847
Either I'd have to give you up or else...
322
00:22:52,871 --> 00:22:53,955
Or else what?
323
00:22:53,997 --> 00:22:56,082
Just or else, that's all.
324
00:22:56,124 --> 00:22:58,376
Well, I'm glad you quit.
325
00:22:58,418 --> 00:23:02,213
I never could understand
why you wanted to stay at that bank anyhow.
326
00:23:02,255 --> 00:23:04,275
I don't think there was much chance
for you there.
327
00:23:04,299 --> 00:23:07,152
Wherever you go,
they'll always be finding out about me.
328
00:23:07,176 --> 00:23:09,446
Let 'em,
there's nothing to find out about you.
329
00:23:09,470 --> 00:23:12,283
You know, I always thought
you were too good for that place.
330
00:23:12,307 --> 00:23:14,767
They didn't appreciate you.
331
00:23:17,395 --> 00:23:19,438
Oh, don't start crying, dear.
332
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,333
You'll get your nose red.
333
00:23:21,357 --> 00:23:23,734
A thing like this doesn't bother us,
does it, Mom?
334
00:23:23,776 --> 00:23:25,778
We've looked for jobs before.
335
00:23:25,820 --> 00:23:27,298
I should never have come here at all.
336
00:23:27,322 --> 00:23:28,489
I knew it wasn't right.
337
00:23:28,531 --> 00:23:30,533
What wasn't right?
338
00:23:30,575 --> 00:23:34,120
Coming to live here
with you and your mother.
339
00:23:34,162 --> 00:23:36,247
You've been wonderful to me.
340
00:23:36,289 --> 00:23:38,666
And this is the way
I'm repaying you,
341
00:23:38,708 --> 00:23:39,792
getting you discharged.
342
00:23:39,834 --> 00:23:42,419
You're working yourself up
over nothing, Mary.
343
00:23:42,462 --> 00:23:44,815
What if I do lose a job now and then?
344
00:23:44,839 --> 00:23:46,567
What difference does it make?
345
00:23:46,591 --> 00:23:50,070
Come on, let's all go out
and have a good time tonight.
346
00:23:50,094 --> 00:23:52,698
Oh, Bob, your mother's
fixed a lovely supper for us.
347
00:23:52,722 --> 00:23:54,283
The lovely supper will keep.
348
00:23:54,307 --> 00:23:55,367
Bob is right.
349
00:23:55,391 --> 00:23:57,870
What you two need is to go out
and enjoy yourselves.
350
00:23:57,894 --> 00:24:00,289
Yeah,
we can't let a chance like this go by.
351
00:24:00,313 --> 00:24:02,690
I may not get fired again
for a long time.
352
00:24:02,732 --> 00:24:04,483
I've got some mending to do.
353
00:24:04,525 --> 00:24:06,318
You children go along by yourselves.
354
00:24:06,361 --> 00:24:09,030
Come now.
Come and get all dressed up.
355
00:24:09,072 --> 00:24:10,698
There you are.
356
00:24:16,371 --> 00:24:19,832
(unintelligible).
357
00:24:25,755 --> 00:24:27,900
Did someone knock, Bob?
358
00:24:27,924 --> 00:24:30,986
I thought I heard a knock.
359
00:24:31,010 --> 00:24:32,886
There's no one out here.
360
00:24:34,681 --> 00:24:37,117
Come on, get your hat, Bob.
361
00:24:37,141 --> 00:24:38,202
Run along, dear.
362
00:24:38,226 --> 00:24:40,353
- Have a good time.
- Goodnight.
363
00:24:41,396 --> 00:24:43,689
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight, Mom.
364
00:25:15,596 --> 00:25:18,283
Now, don't feel that way.
365
00:25:18,307 --> 00:25:20,475
Nothing important has happened.
366
00:25:20,518 --> 00:25:23,747
The thing that gets me
is that I was expecting a promotion,
367
00:25:23,771 --> 00:25:25,689
and you know what that meant.
368
00:25:25,732 --> 00:25:26,983
I'm not gonna wait any longer.
369
00:25:27,025 --> 00:25:29,861
As soon as I get a job again,
we're going to be married.
370
00:25:29,902 --> 00:25:32,112
There's no sense in waiting.
371
00:25:34,449 --> 00:25:36,409
Well, if it ain't the long lost child.
372
00:25:36,451 --> 00:25:37,469
Hello there, Ritzie.
373
00:25:37,493 --> 00:25:40,162
Well, it was a long time finding ya.
374
00:25:40,204 --> 00:25:41,622
I think you've made a mistake.
375
00:25:41,664 --> 00:25:44,208
You made a mistake, baby,
thinking you could keep out of sight.
376
00:25:44,250 --> 00:25:47,253
- Come on, Bob.
- So this is the old hideaway, is it?
377
00:25:47,295 --> 00:25:50,506
Well, I guess you know Thunderbolt's
been looking high and low for ya, don't ya?
378
00:25:50,548 --> 00:25:51,984
Why didn't you let him know
where you were?
379
00:25:52,008 --> 00:25:53,318
Drop him a postcard or something.
380
00:25:53,342 --> 00:25:55,112
I'm not interested in Thunderbolt.
381
00:25:55,136 --> 00:25:57,698
You're not, huh?
382
00:25:57,722 --> 00:26:02,222
And this is the Kewpie that made a sucker
out of Thunderbolt, huh?
383
00:26:02,643 --> 00:26:05,914
Well, I wouldn't be in your shoes
for all the rice in China.
384
00:26:05,938 --> 00:26:07,397
Stay on the level, Ritzie.
385
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,817
What have you been doing
with yourself all this time?
386
00:26:09,859 --> 00:26:11,277
Take your hand off her.
387
00:26:11,319 --> 00:26:12,504
Don't shove me.
388
00:26:12,528 --> 00:26:14,071
I'll shove ya.
389
00:26:14,113 --> 00:26:15,507
Well, I'll teach you to shove me.
390
00:26:15,531 --> 00:26:17,616
Look out, Bob, he's got a gun!
391
00:26:23,164 --> 00:26:24,641
Come on, Bob, let's go back upstairs.
392
00:26:24,665 --> 00:26:26,875
I'd like to take another sock at that guy.
393
00:26:26,918 --> 00:26:28,252
You've hurt your hand too.
394
00:26:28,294 --> 00:26:29,336
Come on, Bob.
395
00:26:31,714 --> 00:26:35,069
Did you fall downstairs?
396
00:26:35,093 --> 00:26:39,114
- Why, what happened?
- He fell downstairs, the poor man.
397
00:26:39,138 --> 00:26:42,201
I'd put a piece of fresh beef steak
on that eye if I were you.
398
00:26:42,225 --> 00:26:43,786
Well, you ain't me.
399
00:26:43,810 --> 00:26:46,705
My sister always puts a key
down the back of her neck
400
00:26:46,729 --> 00:26:48,480
to stop a nosebleed.
401
00:26:48,523 --> 00:26:51,484
I'll slip something down the back of
your neck if you don't leave me alone.
402
00:26:51,526 --> 00:26:54,195
Where's the nearest telephone
around here?
403
00:26:54,237 --> 00:26:56,781
Well, here,
don't you dare go near there.
404
00:26:56,823 --> 00:27:00,076
Oh, I just hate to see anybody hurt.
405
00:27:01,786 --> 00:27:04,079
Oh, now a squalling baby.
406
00:27:06,165 --> 00:27:08,041
Why, what's the matter?
407
00:27:08,084 --> 00:27:11,128
Nothing.
She talked me out of going out.
408
00:27:11,170 --> 00:27:13,463
You've hurt your hand.
What's happened?
409
00:27:13,506 --> 00:27:15,925
I guess I knocked it
against something.
410
00:27:18,803 --> 00:27:21,597
What's happened, Mary?
411
00:27:21,639 --> 00:27:24,118
We ran into a man I used to know.
412
00:27:24,142 --> 00:27:27,246
He tried to get fresh
and Bob had to hit him.
413
00:27:27,270 --> 00:27:29,814
Oh, I... I see, I...
414
00:27:31,149 --> 00:27:33,151
Well, we'll put something on it.
415
00:27:33,192 --> 00:27:34,419
- Don't bother, Mom.
- No, come on,
416
00:27:34,443 --> 00:27:36,088
we'll wash it out
and put some iodine on it.
417
00:27:36,112 --> 00:27:37,422
I don't want any of that stuff on it.
418
00:27:37,446 --> 00:27:40,240
Took a week for it to
wear off the last time.
419
00:27:41,826 --> 00:27:43,702
I don't want anything on it.
420
00:27:45,037 --> 00:27:46,913
That water could be hot.
421
00:27:48,207 --> 00:27:50,250
Mom, you treat me like I was a baby.
422
00:27:50,293 --> 00:27:51,919
That's all you act like
when you're hurt.
423
00:27:51,961 --> 00:27:53,045
Well, I ain't hurt.
424
00:27:53,087 --> 00:27:55,274
You got me mixed up
with the other guy.
425
00:27:55,298 --> 00:27:56,692
I'll bet you never touched
the other guy.
426
00:27:56,716 --> 00:27:59,820
Yeah? Well, no mother'
be able
to fix him up for a long time.
427
00:27:59,844 --> 00:28:03,013
That's what you say.
I'd like to see him to believe that.
428
00:28:07,143 --> 00:28:09,645
Answer the telephone, Mary.
429
00:28:18,446 --> 00:28:21,907
Mary, answer the telephone.
430
00:28:27,496 --> 00:28:28,538
Hello?
431
00:28:33,711 --> 00:28:36,088
How's every little thing?
432
00:28:40,676 --> 00:28:43,261
I'll be coming up your way.
433
00:28:47,767 --> 00:28:50,370
I can't, eh?
434
00:28:50,394 --> 00:28:52,771
I'll come right down.
435
00:28:52,813 --> 00:28:54,773
What for?
436
00:28:54,815 --> 00:28:57,317
It won't make any difference
to your boyfriend.
437
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,945
You might as well say goodbye
to him now.
438
00:28:59,987 --> 00:29:03,365
I just called up
to give you fair warning.
439
00:29:10,831 --> 00:29:12,976
- Let's put this iodine on it.
- I don't want any iodine.
440
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,752
Now hold still, hold still.
441
00:29:16,545 --> 00:29:18,296
Ouch. Ow!
442
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,277
Now look what you've done.
443
00:29:22,301 --> 00:29:23,820
All over my clean floor.
444
00:29:23,844 --> 00:29:25,679
I'll clean it up.
445
00:29:27,139 --> 00:29:28,325
Not my towels!
446
00:29:28,349 --> 00:29:29,993
Ouch.
447
00:29:30,017 --> 00:29:32,829
Do nothing but buy towels for this place.
448
00:29:32,853 --> 00:29:34,414
Look out there now.
449
00:29:34,438 --> 00:29:37,816
You know I keep
the floor cloths under here.
450
00:29:37,858 --> 00:29:39,067
Look at that iodine.
451
00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:40,486
You never can get that up.
452
00:29:40,528 --> 00:29:42,714
Well, I told you not to bring it out,
didn't I?
453
00:29:42,738 --> 00:29:44,030
I'd like to put some on your...
454
00:29:44,073 --> 00:29:45,908
Jiggers, Mom, I'm gettin' sore now.
455
00:29:45,950 --> 00:29:48,160
Well, what do you do if you get sore?
456
00:29:48,202 --> 00:29:49,846
Well, I'll show you,
I'm bigger than you are.
457
00:29:49,870 --> 00:29:51,580
Yes, well...
458
00:29:51,622 --> 00:29:53,892
- Give me the napkin.
- Not look, you'll get your hands all dirty.
459
00:29:53,916 --> 00:29:55,959
Give me that rag.
Give me that rag.
460
00:29:56,002 --> 00:29:58,629
I'm telling you, there's nothing...
461
00:29:58,671 --> 00:29:59,713
Bob, now, stop it.
462
00:29:59,755 --> 00:30:01,858
You're nothing but a big baby.
463
00:30:01,882 --> 00:30:04,152
NOW Will you stop it?
464
00:30:04,176 --> 00:30:05,218
Let go.
465
00:30:07,430 --> 00:30:10,617
Say, Bob, now who do you think I am?
466
00:30:10,641 --> 00:30:12,577
You're not fighting with
that fella down there!
467
00:30:12,601 --> 00:30:14,936
Yeah, I'm working with you, Mom.
468
00:30:19,775 --> 00:30:21,234
Stop it!
469
00:30:21,277 --> 00:30:23,570
Bob, please! Ow!
470
00:31:27,301 --> 00:31:29,219
Go on, get out of here. Beat it.
471
00:31:39,855 --> 00:31:41,356
I can't find her.
472
00:31:41,399 --> 00:31:44,568
Well, now don't worry, she's only gone
to the grocer's or something.
473
00:31:44,610 --> 00:31:47,446
I know, but she's been gone
such a long time.
474
00:31:47,488 --> 00:31:49,698
But here's her pocketbook and gloves.
475
00:31:49,740 --> 00:31:51,843
- She'll be back soon.
- Now, I'm worried.
476
00:31:51,867 --> 00:31:53,345
Well, I'm the one
that ought to be worried
477
00:31:53,369 --> 00:31:56,080
with the dinner getting cold
and everything.
478
00:31:56,122 --> 00:31:58,082
Do you think we oughta call
the police?
479
00:31:58,124 --> 00:32:02,169
Now, Bob, don't be so silly.
480
00:32:02,211 --> 00:32:04,922
She'll be back in less than no time.
481
00:32:08,300 --> 00:32:09,342
Hello?
482
00:32:38,664 --> 00:32:41,583
Katie! Katie!
483
00:32:42,835 --> 00:32:43,877
Yes?
484
00:32:44,753 --> 00:32:46,296
Are you calling me, Annie?
485
00:32:46,338 --> 00:32:48,150
You and Bill better come right up.
486
00:32:48,174 --> 00:32:49,925
The radio's working again.
487
00:32:49,967 --> 00:32:52,886
I'll be up in a minute,
Bill ain't home yet.
488
00:33:20,539 --> 00:33:22,832
Hey, listen,
I thought I told you to beat it.
489
00:33:22,875 --> 00:33:24,001
Now, come on, go home.
490
00:33:24,043 --> 00:33:26,211
I got work to do. Come on, boy.
491
00:33:26,253 --> 00:33:28,630
Nice little dog. Come on.
492
00:33:30,299 --> 00:33:31,735
Come on.
493
00:33:31,759 --> 00:33:34,136
Come on, come on.
494
00:33:35,346 --> 00:33:36,388
Come on.
495
00:33:38,098 --> 00:33:40,118
Come on, boy.
496
00:33:40,142 --> 00:33:41,578
Come on.
497
00:33:41,602 --> 00:33:42,829
Come on, boy.
498
00:33:42,853 --> 00:33:43,895
Come on.
499
00:33:47,316 --> 00:33:48,400
Come on, boy.
500
00:33:48,442 --> 00:33:49,484
Come on, boy.
501
00:33:50,653 --> 00:33:51,820
Come on!
502
00:33:51,862 --> 00:33:53,780
Come on, boy.
503
00:33:59,370 --> 00:34:01,121
Come on, boy.
504
00:34:01,163 --> 00:34:02,205
Come on.
505
00:34:05,376 --> 00:34:07,878
Come on, boy.
506
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,254
Come on.
507
00:34:09,296 --> 00:34:10,690
Come on, boy.
508
00:34:10,714 --> 00:34:11,756
Come on.
509
00:34:21,850 --> 00:34:24,102
Ain't he cute?
510
00:34:28,691 --> 00:34:32,695
I just love dogs.
511
00:34:43,998 --> 00:34:45,040
Come on.
512
00:34:48,127 --> 00:34:49,461
Come on.
513
00:34:49,503 --> 00:34:51,254
Come on, get out of here, get out.
514
00:34:51,297 --> 00:34:53,340
Go on, get out. Beat it!
515
00:34:54,383 --> 00:34:55,425
Stay out.
516
00:35:18,490 --> 00:35:20,051
Now, Bob, don't go near that door.
517
00:35:20,075 --> 00:35:21,659
I'm not going near the door, Mom.
518
00:35:21,702 --> 00:35:23,662
Come on away now.
519
00:35:33,297 --> 00:35:34,774
There's that bark again.
520
00:35:34,798 --> 00:35:37,068
Well, what if a dog does bark?
521
00:35:37,092 --> 00:35:39,279
I didn't know there was a dog in the house.
522
00:35:39,303 --> 00:35:41,823
Don't go out, Bob.
523
00:35:41,847 --> 00:35:43,992
Please, for my sake.
524
00:35:44,016 --> 00:35:46,768
Don't go out until Mary returns.
525
00:35:48,937 --> 00:35:50,332
What are you barking for?
526
00:35:50,356 --> 00:35:52,107
I thought I told you to beat it.
527
00:35:52,191 --> 00:35:54,234
You're going for a walk.
528
00:36:09,708 --> 00:36:11,251
You poor little mutt.
529
00:36:11,293 --> 00:36:12,544
Go on home.
530
00:36:12,586 --> 00:36:14,296
If you've got a home.
531
00:36:14,338 --> 00:36:16,131
I've got no time to play with you now.
532
00:36:16,173 --> 00:36:19,384
Put up your hands,
you're under arrest.
533
00:36:26,266 --> 00:36:27,600
All right, put 'em up.
534
00:36:29,144 --> 00:36:30,979
And keep 'em up.
535
00:36:33,315 --> 00:36:34,983
Frisk him, Bill.
536
00:36:51,166 --> 00:36:53,168
Slip the bracelets on him.
537
00:37:05,013 --> 00:37:06,574
Get back up there.
What are you doing up here?
538
00:37:06,598 --> 00:37:09,077
Go on, go wait upstairs.
539
00:37:09,101 --> 00:37:11,061
Go on, upstairs, everybody.
540
00:37:12,855 --> 00:37:15,023
Come on, keep movin' there, keep movin'.
541
00:37:17,609 --> 00:37:20,194
Wait up there, now go on,
now get back up there.
542
00:37:23,991 --> 00:37:27,703
Well, well, well, Thunderbolt.
543
00:37:29,163 --> 00:37:31,748
Long time no see.
544
00:37:42,801 --> 00:37:45,321
You guys are all alike.
545
00:37:45,345 --> 00:37:49,845
No brains, no brains.
546
00:37:49,933 --> 00:37:52,894
Your dame told us
you were coming here.
547
00:38:00,486 --> 00:38:03,572
A lot of help you were.
548
00:38:03,614 --> 00:38:07,326
To think it took a mutt like you
to send me up.
549
00:38:07,367 --> 00:38:08,618
I didn't know you had a dog.
550
00:38:08,660 --> 00:38:10,161
Is he yours?
551
00:38:10,204 --> 00:38:12,289
He is now.
552
00:38:12,331 --> 00:38:15,083
He cost me plenty.
553
00:38:16,460 --> 00:38:18,128
Ain't he beautiful?
554
00:38:18,170 --> 00:38:19,963
I wouldn't brag about him.
555
00:38:20,005 --> 00:38:21,756
Come on, boys.
556
00:39:00,462 --> 00:39:01,671
Let me go down there.
557
00:39:01,713 --> 00:39:02,714
Let me!
558
00:39:02,756 --> 00:39:04,359
What right have you got
to keep me back?
559
00:39:04,383 --> 00:39:05,425
Just stay back.
560
00:39:07,302 --> 00:39:08,363
Oh, Bob.
561
00:39:08,387 --> 00:39:09,781
What is the matter, Mary,
what happened?
562
00:39:09,805 --> 00:39:12,283
Go into the... go into the house,
go on, children.
563
00:39:12,307 --> 00:39:14,911
I wonder what she's got to do with it.
564
00:39:14,935 --> 00:39:15,977
I don't know.
565
00:39:41,712 --> 00:39:44,131
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
566
00:39:44,172 --> 00:39:46,442
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
567
00:39:46,466 --> 00:39:50,966
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
568
00:39:51,847 --> 00:39:54,349
<i>Brother, you ought to been there</i>
569
00:39:54,391 --> 00:39:56,870
<i>Yes, my Lord</i>
570
00:39:56,894 --> 00:40:01,394
<i>A-sitting in the kingdom
for to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
571
00:40:01,982 --> 00:40:04,335
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
572
00:40:04,359 --> 00:40:06,569
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
573
00:40:06,612 --> 00:40:11,112
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
574
00:40:11,533 --> 00:40:14,702
<i>Sister, you ought to been there</i>
575
00:40:14,745 --> 00:40:18,123
<i>Yes, my Lord</i>
576
00:40:18,165 --> 00:40:22,665
<i>A-sitting in the kingdom
for to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
577
00:40:24,630 --> 00:40:27,483
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
578
00:40:27,507 --> 00:40:30,236
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
579
00:40:30,260 --> 00:40:34,760
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
580
00:40:36,725 --> 00:40:39,579
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
581
00:40:39,603 --> 00:40:42,897
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
582
00:40:42,940 --> 00:40:47,440
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
583
00:41:02,334 --> 00:41:06,834
Say,
this piano will need tuning pretty soon.
584
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,756
Yes.
585
00:41:11,009 --> 00:41:15,509
I wish there were a way of telling
when a human being's out of tune.
586
00:41:22,646 --> 00:41:25,523
Couldn't be more comfortable at the Ritz.
587
00:41:25,565 --> 00:41:26,941
One-Way Street, huh?
588
00:41:26,984 --> 00:41:29,987
Everything coming in
and nothing going out.
589
00:41:44,459 --> 00:41:47,378
Now take care of yourself
and don't catch cold.
590
00:41:47,421 --> 00:41:49,256
Plenty of blankets here.
591
00:41:49,297 --> 00:41:50,775
And look out for pneumonia.
592
00:41:50,799 --> 00:41:53,510
Don't want to give this place
a bad name.
593
00:42:09,234 --> 00:42:13,613
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
594
00:42:13,655 --> 00:42:17,367
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
595
00:42:18,285 --> 00:42:22,785
<i>I want to go to Heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
596
00:42:27,836 --> 00:42:31,172
Hey, Number 3!
597
00:42:32,549 --> 00:42:35,236
Hey you, new guy.
598
00:42:35,260 --> 00:42:37,238
You're Number 3.
599
00:42:37,262 --> 00:42:39,323
You might as well get
me right from the start.
600
00:42:39,347 --> 00:42:42,744
I'm Number 1 anywhere.
601
00:42:42,768 --> 00:42:47,268
Well, Number 3 or... or Number 1
or whatever you are,
602
00:42:47,439 --> 00:42:50,775
do you sing tenor?
603
00:42:50,817 --> 00:42:52,151
Who me?
604
00:42:52,194 --> 00:42:54,362
I kill tenors.
605
00:42:55,864 --> 00:42:58,658
Oh, a tough guy, hey?
606
00:42:58,700 --> 00:43:01,119
Too bad you ain't a tenor.
607
00:43:01,161 --> 00:43:04,414
We had a swell quartet,
608
00:43:04,456 --> 00:43:07,041
but they took our tenor yesterday.
609
00:43:08,168 --> 00:43:10,336
Hey, Number 4.
610
00:43:10,378 --> 00:43:12,838
What does that new bird look like?
611
00:43:14,299 --> 00:43:18,780
Well, ain't much to be said about him.
612
00:43:18,804 --> 00:43:19,888
Pretty big.
613
00:43:21,223 --> 00:43:25,723
Got a mug on him
like they use to scare babies with.
614
00:43:25,977 --> 00:43:27,663
Looks like he cuts his hair with a...
615
00:43:27,687 --> 00:43:30,022
Oh, close your trap.
616
00:43:30,065 --> 00:43:33,544
Say, is that you, Thunderbolt?
617
00:43:33,568 --> 00:43:35,319
That's me.
618
00:43:35,362 --> 00:43:39,862
Reading from left to right, Thunderbolt.
619
00:43:39,991 --> 00:43:41,534
Who wants to know?
620
00:43:41,576 --> 00:43:44,829
Don't tell me that you've forgotten me.
621
00:43:44,871 --> 00:43:47,248
Wait, that sounds like Chuck.
622
00:43:47,290 --> 00:43:49,125
Is that you, kid?
623
00:43:49,167 --> 00:43:52,336
The kid himself, sure thing.
624
00:43:52,379 --> 00:43:56,192
Say, what are you in for, big boy?
625
00:43:56,216 --> 00:43:58,402
Being kind to animals.
626
00:43:58,426 --> 00:44:02,740
I just got too interested in a dog,
that's all.
627
00:44:02,764 --> 00:44:05,076
You know any more jokes?
628
00:44:05,100 --> 00:44:08,103
This place is for killers.
629
00:44:12,858 --> 00:44:14,985
Who is that, a friend of yours, Chuck?
630
00:44:15,026 --> 00:44:18,487
Friend of mine?
I should say not.
631
00:44:18,530 --> 00:44:22,033
How long you gonna stop in our hotel, Jim?
632
00:44:22,075 --> 00:44:23,993
About eight weeks.
633
00:44:24,035 --> 00:44:27,204
Anybody else in here I oughta know?
634
00:44:27,247 --> 00:44:29,374
Holler roll for him, boys.
635
00:44:29,416 --> 00:44:33,916
Joe Ripley, been here so long
I've forgotten what I'm in for.
636
00:44:33,962 --> 00:44:36,506
Kentucky Sampson.
637
00:44:36,548 --> 00:44:39,443
Caught on the 13th job.
638
00:44:39,467 --> 00:44:43,967
I was that good, the jury brought in a verdict
of guilty before they went out to lunch.
639
00:44:44,472 --> 00:44:47,975
I'm next door, Jim, Number 5.
640
00:44:50,103 --> 00:44:52,415
Hey, Pat, give me a light, will ya?
641
00:44:52,439 --> 00:44:54,649
<i>Everybody talkin' 'bout Heaven
ain't goin' there</i>
642
00:44:54,733 --> 00:44:57,152
<i>Heaven, Heaven</i>
643
00:44:57,194 --> 00:45:00,739
<i>Gonna shout all over,
goin' to Heaven</i>
644
00:45:00,780 --> 00:45:03,115
Leave those matches here, will you, Pat?
645
00:45:03,158 --> 00:45:05,034
I would (unintelligible).
646
00:45:05,076 --> 00:45:07,578
Sure, you know it's against the rules.
647
00:45:07,621 --> 00:45:11,291
And furthermore, my name is not Pat.
648
00:45:11,333 --> 00:45:13,376
- What is your name?
- Don't tell him!
649
00:45:13,418 --> 00:45:16,254
Make him guess!
650
00:45:16,296 --> 00:45:18,089
Number 6.
651
00:45:18,131 --> 00:45:21,676
Making my exit today.
652
00:45:21,718 --> 00:45:24,447
<i>I got a song, you got a song</i>
653
00:45:24,471 --> 00:45:27,366
<i>All of God's children got a song</i>
654
00:45:27,390 --> 00:45:30,912
Number 7 is at the piano.
655
00:45:30,936 --> 00:45:34,123
Special dispensation from the warden.
656
00:45:34,147 --> 00:45:37,668
Number 8, (unintelligible) Roberts.
657
00:45:37,692 --> 00:45:40,027
Murder in the first degree.
658
00:45:40,070 --> 00:45:42,113
Brought up by honest parents.
659
00:45:42,155 --> 00:45:45,491
At least, they was honest as far as I know.
660
00:45:45,533 --> 00:45:50,033
Absolutely on the level
until my 12th birthday.
661
00:45:55,335 --> 00:45:59,774
Number 9's still in the hospital, I guess.
662
00:45:59,798 --> 00:46:03,277
Number 10, now broadcasting.
663
00:46:03,301 --> 00:46:06,155
Bad AI Frieberg, that's me.
664
00:46:06,179 --> 00:46:09,909
I guess I don't have to tell you who I am.
665
00:46:09,933 --> 00:46:12,078
Maybe you should.
666
00:46:12,102 --> 00:46:14,288
I never heard of you.
667
00:46:14,312 --> 00:46:15,998
Don't kid me.
668
00:46:16,022 --> 00:46:18,107
Everybody heard about me.
669
00:46:18,149 --> 00:46:21,443
There was whole pages in
the papers when I was caught
670
00:46:21,486 --> 00:46:23,529
Pictures and everything.
671
00:46:23,571 --> 00:46:28,071
The Machine Gun Terror,
that's what they call me.
672
00:46:29,077 --> 00:46:31,954
Oh yes, I remember you now.
673
00:46:31,997 --> 00:46:35,166
The Machine Gun Terror, huh?
674
00:46:35,208 --> 00:46:39,420
Well,
down my way they call you Squirt Gun AI.
675
00:46:39,462 --> 00:46:41,630
I'll squirt gun you, you big stick.
If I ever...
676
00:46:41,673 --> 00:46:46,010
Oh, you big fat head,
I bet you bragged your way into the joint.
677
00:46:48,513 --> 00:46:49,824
Come on, Number 7.
678
00:46:49,848 --> 00:46:51,850
Back to your cell.
679
00:47:13,538 --> 00:47:18,038
As I was saying, I was absolutely
on the level until my 12th birthday,
680
00:47:19,502 --> 00:47:24,002
and then, well,
nothing much happened until I was 37.
681
00:47:25,008 --> 00:47:27,844
Then I blew up over a dame!
682
00:47:29,304 --> 00:47:31,657
You're not the only one.
683
00:47:31,681 --> 00:47:33,242
You said it.
684
00:47:33,266 --> 00:47:36,162
There's a dame behind
every guy in this joint.
685
00:47:36,186 --> 00:47:38,456
That was the trouble with me.
686
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,149
The dames wouldn't let me alone.
687
00:47:41,191 --> 00:47:45,691
I wouldn't be here now if two skirts
hadn't fell for me at the same time.
688
00:47:48,198 --> 00:47:50,450
Yeah, I know.
689
00:47:50,492 --> 00:47:54,992
Fell for you, you mean tripped
trying to get out of your way.
690
00:47:57,707 --> 00:47:59,625
Say, listen.
691
00:47:59,667 --> 00:48:01,669
I've had about enough out of you.
692
00:48:01,711 --> 00:48:05,066
I'd show you something if they let
me out of here a couple of minutes.
693
00:48:05,090 --> 00:48:06,567
You big cluck!
694
00:48:06,591 --> 00:48:09,153
What would you do, big boy?
695
00:48:09,177 --> 00:48:10,821
I'd do plenty.
696
00:48:10,845 --> 00:48:12,847
Don't you worry about that.
697
00:48:12,889 --> 00:48:16,285
I ain't afraid of you or that
phony right hand of yours.
698
00:48:16,309 --> 00:48:19,580
Sure you're not,
699
00:48:19,604 --> 00:48:22,523
with these bars between us.
700
00:48:33,868 --> 00:48:36,161
- Hello, Mr. Moran.
- Hello, Jack.
701
00:48:36,204 --> 00:48:38,372
- How are you?
- Fine.
702
00:48:55,056 --> 00:48:57,618
Well, what can I do for you?
703
00:48:57,642 --> 00:49:00,246
Well, you sent for me, Mr. Corwin.
704
00:49:00,270 --> 00:49:02,289
I did nothing of the sort.
705
00:49:02,313 --> 00:49:04,023
That's funny.
706
00:49:04,065 --> 00:49:08,319
Your secretary phoned the house yesterday
and left word that you wanted to see me.
707
00:49:16,453 --> 00:49:18,037
Miss Randall has gone to lunch.
708
00:49:18,079 --> 00:49:20,164
Is there anything I can do for you, sir?
709
00:49:20,206 --> 00:49:22,374
No, never mind.
710
00:49:22,417 --> 00:49:25,044
I don't see why she
should've called you up.
711
00:49:25,086 --> 00:49:27,671
There's nothing I want to see you about.
712
00:49:30,049 --> 00:49:32,968
Then I'm sorry I bothered you.
713
00:49:46,065 --> 00:49:48,233
Got a match, buddy?
714
00:49:56,451 --> 00:49:58,244
Take it easy, Moran.
715
00:49:58,286 --> 00:50:01,455
Come on there, all of you,
get your hands up.
716
00:50:01,498 --> 00:50:02,624
Keep 'em up!
717
00:50:02,665 --> 00:50:06,043
High up there, face the wall!
718
00:50:06,085 --> 00:50:08,670
Come on, do as I tell you.
719
00:50:23,478 --> 00:50:27,978
Even a bank ain't safe
from these gangsters.
720
00:50:29,526 --> 00:50:32,487

721
00:50:46,167 --> 00:50:48,085

You seem happy tonight.
730
00:51:34,299 --> 00:51:36,968
Just got some great news.

What would you call great news?
732
00:51:41,681 --> 00:51:43,033
Getting out of here?
733
00:51:43,057 --> 00:51:44,785
That doesn't worry me.
734
00:51:44,809 --> 00:51:48,062
I've always paid my way.

this minute, do you hear?

This is my last warning.

We've got to execute you tonight.
760
00:53:07,934 --> 00:53:10,412
Besides, you haven't got a chance, AI.
761
00:53:10,436 --> 00:53:12,915
That gun's empty.
762
00:53:12,939 --> 00:53:16,317
- How do you know?
- We caught the guy who sold it to you.
763
00:53:16,359 --> 00:53:19,070
I'll show you whether it's empty or not!

Ah, don't point that thing at me!
765

I don't care how I die
as long as I die shooting!
767
00:53:27,328 --> 00:53:29,621
Yeah, you'll die shooting.

I'll fill you full of lead
if it's the last thing I do!
772
00:53:39,465 --> 00:53:43,965
Yes, and if I was the warden I'd take that gat
away from you and shove it down your throat.
773
00:53:44,512 --> 00:53:48,325
If I could only get close enough
to take a crack at you!
774
00:53:48,349 --> 00:53:52,849
You haven't got the nerve it takes
to crack a slot machine.

Get out of the way, boys!
776
00:54:03,740 --> 00:54:05,158
Clear the deck!
777
00:54:05,199 --> 00:54:07,177
Give me that gun, you rat.
778
00:54:07,201 --> 00:54:09,620
Give it to you?
779
00:54:09,662 --> 00:54:11,872

Thanks, Mike.
791
00:55:06,093 --> 00:55:08,864
My name is not Mike.
792
00:55:08,888 --> 00:55:10,848
I'll guess it.
793
00:55:15,186 --> 00:55:16,914
Just a little accident, doc.
794
00:55:16,938 --> 00:55:19,899
Somebody hit him.
795
00:55:19,941 --> 00:55:22,485
What'd he hit him with, a Sledgehammer?
796
00:55:28,407 --> 00:55:30,117
Looks a like a very dangerous concussion.
797
00:55:30,159 --> 00:55:33,662
It won't be fatal, will it?
798
00:55:33,704 --> 00:55:36,665
Listen, doc,
you've just got to see that this man lives.
799
00:55:36,707 --> 00:55:38,041
Do something!
800
00:55:38,084 --> 00:55:39,835
I've got to execute him tonight.
801
00:55:39,877 --> 00:55:42,504
Take him to the hospital
and put him on the table.
802
00:55:45,216 --> 00:55:47,801
He's certainly had a terrible shock.
803
00:55:49,345 --> 00:55:51,221
Be careful with him, boys.
804
00:55:54,976 --> 00:55:57,162
You shouldn't have hit that man so hard,
Jim.
805
00:55:57,186 --> 00:55:59,665
Don't worry about him, warden.
806
00:55:59,689 --> 00:56:01,399
He'll come out of it in a couple of hours.
807
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,651
I just tapped him.
808
00:56:04,694 --> 00:56:06,779
Well, anyway, I'm much obliged to you,
809
00:56:06,821 --> 00:56:11,033
and if there's any little favor I could
do for you, that is, within reason.
810
00:56:11,075 --> 00:56:14,745
Well, if it isn't asking too much,
811
00:56:14,787 --> 00:56:18,665
I would like to have that
dog of mine in here with me.
812
00:56:18,708 --> 00:56:21,419
Well, I guess we can
fix that up for you all right.
813
00:56:21,460 --> 00:56:25,960
<i>(unintelligible)</i>
814
00:56:26,215 --> 00:56:28,569
I thought I had that quartet broken up.
815
00:56:28,593 --> 00:56:31,989
But I no sooner get rid of one
than they send me another.
816
00:56:32,013 --> 00:56:34,992
You sure pulled me out of an awful mess.
817
00:56:35,016 --> 00:56:36,869
It was a pleasure, warden.
818
00:56:36,893 --> 00:56:40,163
I'd have been in a tough spot
if this thing had broken in the papers.
819
00:56:40,187 --> 00:56:42,541
Think of the scandal!
820
00:56:42,565 --> 00:56:45,276
I'll fix that dog thing up
for you in a day or two.
821
00:56:45,318 --> 00:56:48,029
<i>That brings me back again</i>
822
00:56:48,070 --> 00:56:50,572
<i>Down home where I remain</i>
823
00:56:50,615 --> 00:56:54,410
<i>Where my honey lamb am</i>
824
00:56:54,452 --> 00:56:57,079
<i>I will be right there with bells</i>
825
00:56:57,121 --> 00:56:59,498
<i>When that old conductor yells</i>
826
00:56:59,540 --> 00:57:02,251
<i>All aboard, all aboard</i>
827
00:57:02,293 --> 00:57:05,254
<i>All aboard for Alabam</i>
828
00:57:05,296 --> 00:57:09,796
<i>Alabam, Alabam</i>
829
00:57:16,933 --> 00:57:19,870
Couldn't be more comfortable at the Ritz.
830
00:57:19,894 --> 00:57:21,955
And don't you give me any trouble!
831
00:57:21,979 --> 00:57:24,398
I'm having trouble enough around here.
832
00:57:28,694 --> 00:57:31,530
I'll see you later, Number 4.
833
00:57:50,216 --> 00:57:52,718
Hey, Number 4!
834
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,077
He's calling you, new guy.
835
00:58:00,101 --> 00:58:01,954
You're Number 4.
836
00:58:01,978 --> 00:58:04,498
What are you in for, new guy?
837
00:58:04,522 --> 00:58:07,399
They were robbing a bank
and someone got killed,
838
00:58:07,441 --> 00:58:10,610
and they found a revolver in my pocket.
839
00:58:10,653 --> 00:58:13,197
You didn't have anything to do with it,
did you?
840
00:58:13,239 --> 00:58:14,531
Not a thing.
841
00:58:14,573 --> 00:58:16,241
That's fine.
842
00:58:16,283 --> 00:58:18,702
Now tell us another bedtime story.
843
00:58:21,038 --> 00:58:24,750
Hey, what does he look like, Number 3?
844
00:58:28,963 --> 00:58:33,402
Swing around there, buddy,
so I can get a good look at you.
845
00:58:33,426 --> 00:58:37,096
Don't be bashful, I'm not gonna bite you.
846
00:58:40,099 --> 00:58:44,413
Well, he ain't so bad to look at, I guess.
847
00:58:44,437 --> 00:58:48,458
He's got a face like those fellows
on the collar ads,
848
00:58:48,482 --> 00:58:52,611
and I ain't sure but what
he's got a dimple or two.
849
00:58:52,653 --> 00:58:57,153
Beautiful hair and kind of a mushy mouth.
850
00:58:57,366 --> 00:59:00,994
Looks like one of those lady killers,
if you ask me.
851
00:59:02,496 --> 00:59:06,996
The kind a silly dame is bound to fall for.
852
00:59:09,211 --> 00:59:11,713
What's your name, new guy?
853
00:59:15,217 --> 00:59:17,612
Moran, Bob Moran.
854
00:59:17,636 --> 00:59:19,512
Moran, huh?
855
00:59:19,555 --> 00:59:24,055
Say, ain't you the guy I been reading about
that stole Thunderbolt's girl?
856
00:59:24,852 --> 00:59:28,081
<i>Take me out to the ball game</i>
857
00:59:28,105 --> 00:59:30,982
<i>Take me out with the crowd</i>
858
00:59:31,025 --> 00:59:32,526
<i>Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack</i>
859
00:59:32,610 --> 00:59:37,110
It might interest you to know
the guy across the way from you
860
00:59:37,239 --> 00:59:40,992
is a party by the name of Thunderbolt.
861
00:59:41,035 --> 00:59:43,662
You two guys oughta know each other better.
862
00:59:43,704 --> 00:59:48,204
<i>One, two, three strikes, you're out,
at the old ball game</i>
863
00:59:49,418 --> 00:59:52,003
You put me in here, you framed me!
864
00:59:52,046 --> 00:59:54,465
You know I'm innocent, you're in on it!
865
00:59:54,507 --> 00:59:57,360
I'd like to get my hands on you just once!
866
00:59:57,384 --> 01:00:00,072
Just once, just once!
867
01:00:00,096 --> 01:00:02,741
<i>If I never get back,
let me root, root, root</i>
868
01:00:02,765 --> 01:00:04,618
You've got me wrong, kid.
869
01:00:04,642 --> 01:00:06,536
I've never done anything to you.
870
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:11,060
You're a dirty liar, you framed me,
you got me into this!
871
01:00:11,273 --> 01:00:14,776
I'm not afraid of you, I'm not scared!
872
01:00:14,819 --> 01:00:17,571
I'm not afraid to die!
873
01:00:28,499 --> 01:00:32,377
Over, lay over.
874
01:00:32,419 --> 01:00:35,380
Thatta boy, there.
875
01:00:37,508 --> 01:00:39,402
Say, Thunderbolt!
876
01:00:39,426 --> 01:00:43,865
If it's all the same to you, will you stop
teaching that dog to roll over and play dead?
877
01:00:43,889 --> 01:00:46,099
He's giving me the willies.
878
01:01:22,469 --> 01:01:24,489
Get the handcuff crew.
879
01:01:24,513 --> 01:01:27,576
Hey, up there on the upper deck,
front and center.
880
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:29,435
Yo!
881
01:01:38,736 --> 01:01:42,740
The district attorney wants to see you,
down in my office.
882
01:01:45,618 --> 01:01:46,827
What does he want?
883
01:01:46,869 --> 01:01:48,245
I don't know.
884
01:01:49,997 --> 01:01:53,583
Well,
I don't want him bothering me anymore.
885
01:01:53,626 --> 01:01:56,170
I got enough to worry about as it is.
886
01:01:56,212 --> 01:02:00,712
Well, you haven't got much longer
to worry about anything.
887
01:02:01,425 --> 01:02:04,571
So you've set the date for my kick-off,
have you?
888
01:02:04,595 --> 01:02:06,031
Yup.
889
01:02:06,055 --> 01:02:09,367
I've got two for the
week of January the 7th.
890
01:02:09,391 --> 01:02:11,995
Who's the other one?
891
01:02:12,019 --> 01:02:15,957
Moran goes on Monday
and you're set for Saturday.
892
01:02:15,981 --> 01:02:18,066
That's great.
893
01:02:20,152 --> 01:02:23,238
You know, I was glad that your lawyers
got you that temporary reprieve
894
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,490
so that you could be
around a little while longer.
895
01:02:25,532 --> 01:02:27,784
You don't take it so hard.
896
01:02:27,826 --> 01:02:30,370
But some of these other fellas...
897
01:02:30,412 --> 01:02:33,498
- Come on, get him out of there.
- Hey, warden!
898
01:02:37,419 --> 01:02:41,464
I may be seconds to death,
but you've got no right to make me listen
899
01:02:41,507 --> 01:02:45,362
to that same piece of music
every time that band plays here.
900
01:02:45,386 --> 01:02:47,447
It's cruel and inhuman.
901
01:02:47,471 --> 01:02:51,224
I come here for rest and recreation.
902
01:02:53,185 --> 01:02:55,789
You're just plain ungrateful, that's all.
903
01:02:55,813 --> 01:02:57,666
I'm sorry you ever came here.
904
01:02:57,690 --> 01:03:00,192
So am I!
905
01:03:03,654 --> 01:03:06,239
Come on, bring him out.
906
01:03:49,783 --> 01:03:51,993
Sit down, Jim.
907
01:03:55,748 --> 01:03:57,458
How are you, McKay?
908
01:03:57,499 --> 01:03:59,751
Let's get down to cases, Jim.
909
01:03:59,793 --> 01:04:02,128
You know me and you
know the kind of a man I am.
910
01:04:02,171 --> 01:04:03,255
Yeah.
911
01:04:03,297 --> 01:04:06,151
I don't want to send an
innocent man to his death.
912
01:04:06,175 --> 01:04:10,030
As a matter of fact, I'd fight just as hard
to get an innocent man out of here
913
01:04:10,054 --> 01:04:12,490
as I would fight to put
a guilty man in here.
914
01:04:12,514 --> 01:04:14,075
All right, I'll vote for you.
915
01:04:14,099 --> 01:04:16,578
What are you running for?
916
01:04:16,602 --> 01:04:18,812
This is a serious matter, Jim.
917
01:04:18,854 --> 01:04:20,749
It'll pay you to be serious about it.
918
01:04:20,773 --> 01:04:23,984
I may be helping to snuff out the life
of an innocent man.
919
01:04:24,026 --> 01:04:26,611
You mean you're sorry for railroading me?
920
01:04:26,653 --> 01:04:29,947
Several people have been to see me
about Bob Moran.
921
01:04:29,990 --> 01:04:34,490
He's the man you were going to kill
the night you were caught.
922
01:04:35,621 --> 01:04:37,748
I was going to kill?
923
01:04:37,790 --> 01:04:40,250
You got me mixed up with somebody.
924
01:04:40,292 --> 01:04:43,920
I make it a point never to kill any Morans.
925
01:04:45,756 --> 01:04:47,984
Then why did you go
to his apartment that night?
926
01:04:48,008 --> 01:04:49,819
I'll bite, why did I?
927
01:04:49,843 --> 01:04:52,530
You tell me, you know everything.
928
01:04:52,554 --> 01:04:54,449
That kind of an attitude won't help you...
929
01:04:54,473 --> 01:04:56,826
I'm not looking for help.
930
01:04:56,850 --> 01:04:59,978
When I want your help, I'll let you know.
931
01:05:27,005 --> 01:05:29,007
Do you know this lady?
932
01:05:30,717 --> 01:05:33,863
No, who is she?
933
01:05:33,887 --> 01:05:36,931
Bob Moran is my son.
934
01:05:40,769 --> 01:05:42,979
He's my only child.
935
01:05:46,608 --> 01:05:51,108
I came down here to ask you
to help me to save him.
936
01:05:56,243 --> 01:06:00,080
Well, I guess it's no use, is it?
937
01:06:00,122 --> 01:06:03,667
What's the idea of pulling
this sob stuff on me?
938
01:06:03,709 --> 01:06:05,794
Just a minute.
939
01:06:12,551 --> 01:06:15,738
Oh, Mary.
940
01:06:15,762 --> 01:06:17,221
Oh!
941
01:06:21,310 --> 01:06:23,937
Jim, you're not going
through with this, are you?
942
01:06:23,979 --> 01:06:26,940
What are you talking about?
943
01:06:27,024 --> 01:06:28,316
I know you, Jim.
944
01:06:28,358 --> 01:06:31,903
You're a killer, but you were always fair.
945
01:06:31,945 --> 01:06:33,655
You were never mean.
946
01:06:33,697 --> 01:06:35,699
You were never cruel.
947
01:06:35,741 --> 01:06:38,452
Have I got to listen
to all this junk, warden?
948
01:06:38,494 --> 01:06:40,871
No, not if you don't want to.
949
01:06:40,913 --> 01:06:42,873
You listen to me, Jim.
950
01:06:42,915 --> 01:06:45,792
You had Bob framed for that killing.
951
01:06:45,834 --> 01:06:48,044
You said you would get him and you did.
952
01:06:48,086 --> 01:06:50,254
What's the idea?
953
01:06:50,297 --> 01:06:53,383
What are you trying
to frame up on me here?
954
01:07:00,057 --> 01:07:04,037
I guess that'll be all, warden.
955
01:07:04,061 --> 01:07:05,937
Oh, Mary.
956
01:07:13,946 --> 01:07:17,199
Jim, those two women need that boy.
957
01:07:17,241 --> 01:07:21,741
If there's anything you can say
that will help them, say it now.
958
01:07:24,122 --> 01:07:26,624
Home, James.
959
01:07:39,805 --> 01:07:44,244
I don't see how I can
win him off for you folks.
960
01:07:44,268 --> 01:07:48,164
You mean,
you mean you won't reopen the case?
961
01:07:48,188 --> 01:07:50,416
There's nothing I can do.
962
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:52,608
The only chance we had
was for him to confess.
963
01:07:52,651 --> 01:07:54,277
But it was clear from his attitude.
964
01:07:54,319 --> 01:07:57,989
- Surely you could see...
- Attitudes don't count, I'm sorry.
965
01:07:58,031 --> 01:08:00,450
We need evidence.
966
01:08:28,478 --> 01:08:30,813
All right, lock him up!
967
01:08:58,050 --> 01:09:00,486
I guess you'd like to get close to Moran,
wouldn't you?
968
01:09:00,510 --> 01:09:02,155
Well, you're not going to!
969
01:09:02,179 --> 01:09:03,865
Why not?
970
01:09:03,889 --> 01:09:05,098
I wouldn't hurt him.
971
01:09:05,140 --> 01:09:06,909
Not much, you wouldn't.
972
01:09:06,933 --> 01:09:08,703
I can't quite get your angle.
973
01:09:08,727 --> 01:09:11,080
Aren't you satisfied he's
going to be executed?
974
01:09:11,104 --> 01:09:12,540
What more do you want?
975
01:09:12,564 --> 01:09:15,650
I don't settle my debts that way.
976
01:09:15,692 --> 01:09:18,277
I'm going to get him myself.
977
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:21,197
If you ever get any closer to him
than you are right now,
978
01:09:21,239 --> 01:09:23,866
it'll be over my dead body!
979
01:10:03,031 --> 01:10:07,531
Dearly beloved, we are gathered together
here in sight of God
980
01:10:08,370 --> 01:10:12,870
and in the face of this company to join together
this man and this woman in holy matrimony,
981
01:10:16,253 --> 01:10:20,753
which is an honorable estate
and is not by any to be entered into
982
01:10:20,966 --> 01:10:25,466
unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently.
983
01:10:26,179 --> 01:10:30,679
Into this holy estate, these two
persons present come now to be joined.
984
01:10:31,309 --> 01:10:35,809
If any man can show just cause why
they may not lawfully be joined together,
985
01:10:36,606 --> 01:10:41,106
let him now speak or else hereafter
forever hold his peace.
986
01:10:43,321 --> 01:10:46,907
Wilt thou have this woman
to be thy wedded wife?
987
01:10:46,950 --> 01:10:51,450
Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor
and keep her in sickness and in health,
988
01:10:53,582 --> 01:10:58,082
and forsaking all others, keep thee only
unto her so long as you both shall live?
989
01:11:02,174 --> 01:11:03,651
I Will.
990
01:11:03,675 --> 01:11:06,946
Wilt thou have this man
to be thy wedded husband?
991
01:11:06,970 --> 01:11:11,470
Wilt thou obey him and serve him, love,
honor, and keep him in sickness and in health,
992
01:11:14,102 --> 01:11:18,602
and forsaking all others, keep thee only
unto him so long as you both shall live?
993
01:11:22,611 --> 01:11:24,112
I Will.
994
01:11:24,154 --> 01:11:28,032
Who giveth this woman
to be married to this man?
995
01:11:29,868 --> 01:11:31,619
I do.
996
01:11:34,372 --> 01:11:37,041
Repeat after me.
997
01:11:37,083 --> 01:11:41,583
- With this ring I thee wed.
- With this ring I thee wed.
998
01:11:42,923 --> 01:11:47,423
- And with all my worldly goods, I thee endow.
- And with all my worldly goods, I thee endow.
999
01:11:53,016 --> 01:11:57,516
Those whom God hath joined together,
let no man put asunder.
1000
01:11:58,271 --> 01:12:02,441
I now pronounce you man and wife.
1001
01:12:02,484 --> 01:12:04,235
Oh, my poor children.
1002
01:12:04,277 --> 01:12:06,862
Oh, my poor children!
1003
01:12:06,905 --> 01:12:10,116
I'm sorry but your time is up.
1004
01:12:12,118 --> 01:12:13,744
You'll have to go now, Mrs. Moran.
1005
01:12:13,787 --> 01:12:15,246
Oh, my boy!
1006
01:12:15,288 --> 01:12:17,790
Just a minute, warden.
1007
01:12:19,835 --> 01:12:24,335
Let me be the first
to give them a wedding present.
1008
01:12:24,923 --> 01:12:28,444
Moran doesn't belong in here.
1009
01:12:28,468 --> 01:12:30,947
They were right.
1010
01:12:30,971 --> 01:12:33,765
I had him framed.
1011
01:12:39,729 --> 01:12:42,208
Jim.
1012
01:12:42,232 --> 01:12:44,234
You keep out of this.
1013
01:12:44,276 --> 01:12:48,776
I'm talking to the warden,
and get away from me
1014
01:12:49,239 --> 01:12:52,659
before I change my mind.
1015
01:12:52,701 --> 01:12:55,245
What did he say, dear?
What did he say?
1016
01:12:55,287 --> 01:12:58,581
He means that Bob is going to be free now.
1017
01:13:05,881 --> 01:13:08,174
You're to blame for this!
1018
01:13:08,216 --> 01:13:11,070
I've been in this racket now for 30 years
1019
01:13:11,094 --> 01:13:14,198
and this is the first time
I ever saw anything like this happen.
1020
01:13:14,222 --> 01:13:17,577
Four hours before an execution!
1021
01:13:17,601 --> 01:13:21,539
Before anything else happens, I'm going
to call up the governor and get a stay.
1022
01:13:21,563 --> 01:13:24,524
Maybe you better take my statement first.
1023
01:13:24,566 --> 01:13:26,234
I know what to do!
1024
01:13:26,276 --> 01:13:28,486
I've been running a jail all my life.
1025
01:13:28,528 --> 01:13:32,240
Don't you try to teach me my business.
1026
01:13:32,282 --> 01:13:35,535
Come on, you two,
you've just got to go now.
1027
01:13:35,577 --> 01:13:37,704
You'll have to leave now, madam.
1028
01:13:40,624 --> 01:13:42,292
I knew you'd come through, Jim.
1029
01:13:42,334 --> 01:13:44,252
Oh, leave me alone.
1030
01:13:44,294 --> 01:13:46,379
Oh, thank you.
1031
01:13:46,421 --> 01:13:49,006
Thank you, Mr. Thunderbolt.
1032
01:14:04,564 --> 01:14:06,649
Go on, close it.
1033
01:14:23,166 --> 01:14:25,251
You've done a wonderful thing, Jim.
1034
01:14:27,462 --> 01:14:30,882
Well, I've been here a long time now
1035
01:14:30,924 --> 01:14:35,424
and I'm shuffling off
at the end of the week.
1036
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:40,220
I've had a lot of time
to think things over.
1037
01:14:50,193 --> 01:14:52,195
Better lie down, Bob.
1038
01:14:52,237 --> 01:14:55,114
Try and get some sleep.
1039
01:14:55,156 --> 01:14:56,782
I wanna speak to him.
1040
01:14:56,825 --> 01:14:58,785
I wanna thank him.
1041
01:14:58,827 --> 01:15:02,080
I wanna shake his hand.
1042
01:15:02,122 --> 01:15:06,622
We'll shake hands on Saturday when I go.
1043
01:15:10,171 --> 01:15:12,381
Hey, Thunderbolt!
1044
01:15:12,424 --> 01:15:15,069
What's the idea, you going nuts?
1045
01:15:15,093 --> 01:15:18,012
I thought you didn't like that guy!
1046
01:15:25,937 --> 01:15:28,791
A little music, professor.
1047
01:15:28,815 --> 01:15:33,315
<i>Summertime, summertime</i>
1048
01:15:33,695 --> 01:15:38,195
<i>We will be together in sunny weather</i>
1049
01:15:38,366 --> 01:15:42,703
<i>Down the lane once again</i>
1050
01:15:42,746 --> 01:15:46,875
<i>Sweetheart, you and I!</i>
1051
01:15:46,916 --> 01:15:51,211
<i>Summertime, summertime</i>
1052
01:15:51,254 --> 01:15:55,754
<i>Wedding bells will chime</i>
1053
01:15:56,426 --> 01:15:59,196
<i>All will be sunny</i>
1054
01:15:59,220 --> 01:16:01,513
<i>Peaches, cream, and honey</i>
1055
01:16:01,556 --> 01:16:06,056
<i>In the summertime</i>
1056
01:16:10,690 --> 01:16:12,983
Aw, now don't argue with me.
1057
01:16:13,026 --> 01:16:17,526
I just left Thunderbolt playing checkers
with Moran and I know what I'm talking about.
1058
01:16:18,239 --> 01:16:20,407
He had to get Moran reprieved.
1059
01:16:20,450 --> 01:16:24,162
He's always had his mind set on
bumping off this cluck all by his self
1060
01:16:24,204 --> 01:16:27,999
and this is the only way he could do it.
1061
01:16:28,041 --> 01:16:31,252
You guys give me a pain.
1062
01:16:31,294 --> 01:16:33,713
No imagination.
1063
01:16:36,091 --> 01:16:40,591
He's gonna wait until they opens up the
door to take him for the last walk, see?
1064
01:16:42,472 --> 01:16:46,869
Then he's gonna go over to say goodbye
to the boyfriend.
1065
01:16:46,893 --> 01:16:48,871
Now, get me.
1066
01:16:48,895 --> 01:16:51,791
I'm Thunderbolt and you're the kid, see?
1067
01:16:51,815 --> 01:16:55,544
They opens up the cell door
and starts me for the walk.
1068
01:16:55,568 --> 01:17:00,068
Then I goes over to say goodbye
to the boyfriend.
1069
01:17:01,116 --> 01:17:03,952
I sticks out the left hand.
1070
01:17:03,993 --> 01:17:05,285
See, boys?
1071
01:17:05,328 --> 01:17:09,540
This is the minute
that Thunderbolt's been waiting for.
1072
01:17:09,582 --> 01:17:13,961
Well, "80 long, pal," I says.
1073
01:17:14,003 --> 01:17:18,503
And then socko right through the bar.
1074
01:17:32,272 --> 01:17:33,690
All right.
1075
01:17:36,359 --> 01:17:39,195
Hey, wait a minute.
1076
01:17:39,237 --> 01:17:42,156
This invitation is for
last week's execution.
1077
01:17:42,198 --> 01:17:46,698
What do you think we do here,
give out rain checks?
1078
01:17:46,870 --> 01:17:48,162
Out.
1079
01:17:51,624 --> 01:17:53,208
What a heart.
1080
01:17:53,251 --> 01:17:55,294
Good for a hundred years.
1081
01:17:57,380 --> 01:17:59,632
It oughta be.
1082
01:17:59,674 --> 01:18:02,259
It's only been jilted once.
1083
01:18:04,345 --> 01:18:07,848
She's Mrs. Moran now.
1084
01:18:22,989 --> 01:18:25,783
Hey, gimme a light, will you, Timothy?
1085
01:18:33,333 --> 01:18:34,500
What's the matter, Moran?
1086
01:18:34,542 --> 01:18:39,042
Aren't you happy
now that you're getting out of here?
1087
01:18:39,088 --> 01:18:40,798
I'm not worried about myself.
1088
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:43,652
I'm getting out in a couple of weeks
the warden said.
1089
01:18:43,676 --> 01:18:45,905
I'm worried about you.
1090
01:18:45,929 --> 01:18:48,640
Don't you worry about me.
1091
01:18:53,144 --> 01:18:56,457
Hey, Timothy, these clothes don't fit me.
1092
01:18:56,481 --> 01:18:58,083
Take a squint at them.
1093
01:18:58,107 --> 01:19:00,609
How do you think I'm going to look?
1094
01:19:00,652 --> 01:19:03,154
What do you care how you're going to look?
1095
01:19:03,196 --> 01:19:06,032
You're not going anywhere.
1096
01:19:06,074 --> 01:19:09,452
And my name is not Timothy!
1097
01:19:09,494 --> 01:19:11,078
Well, don't get sore about it.
1098
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:13,872
I'll guess it before I'm through.
1099
01:19:19,087 --> 01:19:22,882
Come on, boy, we got
a couple of minutes more to play.
1100
01:20:14,017 --> 01:20:18,517
Whereas... give me your attention, Jim.
1101
01:20:18,563 --> 01:20:21,065
Whereas at a trial time on the...
1102
01:20:23,568 --> 01:20:27,280
You don't need to read
that death warrant to me, warden.
1103
01:20:27,322 --> 01:20:30,450
I know it backwards.
1104
01:20:30,491 --> 01:20:32,261
- I beg your pardon...
- Don't you bother me now
1105
01:20:32,285 --> 01:20:34,662
when I've got my mind
full of a million details.
1106
01:20:34,704 --> 01:20:36,414
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir, no, sir!
1107
01:20:36,456 --> 01:20:38,207
Yes, sir.
1108
01:20:40,501 --> 01:20:42,669
I knew I'd forgotten something.
1109
01:20:42,712 --> 01:20:43,921
What do you want for lunch?
1110
01:20:43,963 --> 01:20:45,441
You can have anything you want, you know.
1111
01:20:45,465 --> 01:20:47,276
All we've got to do is to bring it in.
1112
01:20:47,300 --> 01:20:49,802
Lunch, what time is it?
1113
01:20:49,844 --> 01:20:51,238
Three minutes after eleven.
1114
01:20:51,262 --> 01:20:53,032
What time is the big show?
1115
01:20:53,056 --> 01:20:55,159
11:20.
1116
01:20:55,183 --> 01:20:59,496
So you're going to give
me 17 minutes to eat it, huh?
1117
01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:03,208
Well, I'm not going to bolt
my food down in a hurry.
1118
01:21:03,232 --> 01:21:07,732
I'd have indigestion all afternoon.
1119
01:21:07,820 --> 01:21:09,780
I'll tell you what I would like to have,
warden.
1120
01:21:09,822 --> 01:21:12,282
Anything within reason, Jim.
1121
01:21:12,325 --> 01:21:14,994
- I'd like to have a good shot of...
- Nothing doing.
1122
01:21:15,036 --> 01:21:18,456
The only stuff we've got is in the hospital
and you've got to be sick to get it.
1123
01:21:18,498 --> 01:21:19,582
Well, I'm sick.
1124
01:21:19,624 --> 01:21:21,667
Who's got a better right to be?
1125
01:21:21,709 --> 01:21:23,794
You are sick, aren't you?
1126
01:21:23,836 --> 01:21:26,046
On the level, you don't feel good, do you?
1127
01:21:26,089 --> 01:21:27,882
I feel terrible.
1128
01:21:27,924 --> 01:21:30,527
I feel like I'm going to die.
1129
01:21:30,551 --> 01:21:34,198
Hey, guys, Thunderbolt
says he don't feel so good!
1130
01:21:34,222 --> 01:21:36,724
He feels like he's gonna die!
1131
01:21:42,772 --> 01:21:46,275
Well, I'll see what I can do about
getting you a little something.
1132
01:21:51,656 --> 01:21:53,157
How do you feel, Jim?
1133
01:21:53,199 --> 01:21:54,325
Same as ever.
1134
01:21:54,367 --> 01:21:56,452
The same as ever?
1135
01:21:56,494 --> 01:21:57,953
Yup.
1136
01:21:57,995 --> 01:22:00,497
You and me can't do any business.
1137
01:22:00,540 --> 01:22:04,669
I've lived all my life
without what you stand for
1138
01:22:04,710 --> 01:22:08,213
and I guess I'll have to die the same way.
1139
01:22:08,256 --> 01:22:12,756
You don't mind my sticking around
in case you change your mind?
1140
01:22:13,136 --> 01:22:15,888
Make yourself right at home.
1141
01:22:15,930 --> 01:22:18,033
Hey, Thunderbolt.
1142
01:22:18,057 --> 01:22:22,371
What do you want us to sing
when you're going to your dance?
1143
01:22:22,395 --> 01:22:26,625
I don't know, what have you got?
1144
01:22:26,649 --> 01:22:29,360
Well, how about Brokenhearted?
1145
01:22:29,402 --> 01:22:31,987
That oughta fit you like a glove.
1146
01:22:32,029 --> 01:22:36,158
<i>There she is, my old gal</i>
1147
01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:40,700
<i>There he is, my old pal</i>
1148
01:22:40,913 --> 01:22:45,413
<i>And here am I, brokenhearted</i>
1149
01:22:48,129 --> 01:22:50,840
How do you like that?
1150
01:22:50,882 --> 01:22:53,050
That's not so bad.
1151
01:22:55,219 --> 01:22:57,763
How do you like it, Moran?
1152
01:23:10,276 --> 01:23:12,236
Here you are.
1153
01:23:24,081 --> 01:23:26,208
You better take this, warden.
1154
01:23:26,250 --> 01:23:28,835
You need it worse than I do.
1155
01:23:36,886 --> 01:23:39,323
I certainly did need it.
1156
01:23:39,347 --> 01:23:41,783
You ought to be glad
you haven't got my job.
1157
01:23:41,807 --> 01:23:44,601
You have no idea what I go through.
1158
01:23:57,949 --> 01:23:59,617
Don't you worry, boy.
1159
01:23:59,659 --> 01:24:02,536
It's me that's going, not you.
1160
01:24:02,578 --> 01:24:05,122
- Everything all set?
- Yup!
1161
01:24:12,797 --> 01:24:14,673
Let's go.
1162
01:24:24,684 --> 01:24:26,703
So long, Shorty.
1163
01:24:26,727 --> 01:24:27,829
See you soon.
1164
01:24:27,853 --> 01:24:28,997
Thanks, Thunderbolt.
1165
01:24:29,021 --> 01:24:30,374
Send us a postcard.
1166
01:24:30,398 --> 01:24:34,151
Sure, "X marks my room,
wish you were here."
1167
01:24:34,193 --> 01:24:36,820
Jim, aren't you gonna say goodbye to me?
1168
01:24:36,862 --> 01:24:39,155
Me not say goodbye to you?
1169
01:24:39,198 --> 01:24:41,575
I'll be back in a minute, Moran.
1170
01:24:41,617 --> 01:24:44,286
I'm saving you for the last.
1171
01:24:44,328 --> 01:24:48,165
<i>There she is, my old gal</i>
1172
01:24:48,207 --> 01:24:51,835
<i>There he is, my old pal</i>
1173
01:24:51,877 --> 01:24:56,377
<i>And here am I, brokenhearted</i>
1174
01:25:00,303 --> 01:25:04,616
<i>Mine in May, his in June</i>
1175
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:08,495
<i>She forgot mighty soon</i>
1176
01:25:08,519 --> 01:25:12,291
<i>And here am I, right here</i>
1177
01:25:12,315 --> 01:25:16,068
<i>Brokenhearted</i>
1178
01:25:16,152 --> 01:25:20,614
<i>The last time that we said goodbye</i>
1179
01:25:20,656 --> 01:25:24,534
<i>I knew that she was through</i>
1180
01:25:24,577 --> 01:25:29,077
<i>It's bad enough that I lost her</i>
1181
01:25:29,206 --> 01:25:33,706
<i>I had to lose him too</i>
1182
01:25:33,961 --> 01:25:38,423
<i>There they go, feel their joy</i>
1183
01:25:38,466 --> 01:25:42,779
<i>Happy girl, lucky boy</i>
1184
01:25:42,803 --> 01:25:47,303
<i>And here am I</i>
1185
01:25:47,642 --> 01:25:52,142
<i>Brokenhearted</i>
1186
01:25:59,528 --> 01:26:02,531
So long, pal.
1187
01:26:02,573 --> 01:26:06,243
I wish I could help you now, Jim,
the way you helped me.
1188
01:26:13,876 --> 01:26:18,005
Funny, sizing us two up,
1189
01:26:18,047 --> 01:26:22,547
nobody would ever think
you were the better man.
1190
01:26:23,427 --> 01:26:25,572
You're the better man, Jim.
1191
01:26:25,596 --> 01:26:28,116
You've taught me a let
these last couple of days.
1192
01:26:28,140 --> 01:26:32,640
You'll be seeing Ritzie soon,
won't you, Moran?
1193
01:26:36,315 --> 01:26:40,815
She's a great little girl, isn't she?
1194
01:26:41,153 --> 01:26:45,653
You were pretty lucky
to take her away from me, weren't you?
1195
01:26:46,617 --> 01:26:49,745
I didn't mean to tell you, Jim,
but I guess I will.
1196
01:26:49,787 --> 01:26:51,997
Somehow I think you ought to know.
1197
01:26:52,039 --> 01:26:53,832
I oughta know what?
1198
01:26:53,874 --> 01:26:56,585
I didn't take her away from you, Jim.
1199
01:26:56,627 --> 01:26:59,504
It was you that took her away from me.
1200
01:27:04,510 --> 01:27:07,155
I took her away from you?
1201
01:27:07,179 --> 01:27:11,679
We've always been sweethearts,
since we were kids, and then she met you.
1202
01:27:12,601 --> 01:27:16,498
I didn't amount to much
and she thought you were wonderful.
1203
01:27:16,522 --> 01:27:21,022
She never told me anything about that.
1204
01:27:23,195 --> 01:27:26,198
I guess I was nothing to brag about.
1205
01:27:32,163 --> 01:27:36,663
I always did have a peculiar habit of
taking things that didn't belong to me.
1206
01:27:40,004 --> 01:27:42,589
That's why I'm here.
1207
01:27:53,225 --> 01:27:57,725
You're kinda crazy about her, aren't you?
1208
01:27:57,855 --> 01:28:01,042
I love her, Jim.
1209
01:28:01,066 --> 01:28:05,566
Well, I guess I do too.
1210
01:28:05,696 --> 01:28:08,365
I still do.
1211
01:28:20,169 --> 01:28:21,795
Good luck, kid.
1212
01:28:21,837 --> 01:28:24,089
Good luck to you both.
1213
01:28:24,131 --> 01:28:27,134
Give her my love.
1214
01:28:27,176 --> 01:28:30,304
And take care of her, whatever you do.
1215
01:28:54,912 --> 01:28:59,412
Well, chaplain,
I might as well give you a break too.
1216
01:28:59,875 --> 01:29:01,918
Come on.
1217
01:29:27,736 --> 01:29:30,029
So long, old timer.
1218
01:29:30,072 --> 01:29:33,241
And don't take any wooden biscuits.
1219
01:29:39,039 --> 01:29:41,124
Hey, Dinty.
1220
01:29:41,166 --> 01:29:45,420
Come here, will ya,
and give me one more light?
1221
01:30:01,770 --> 01:30:04,791
Here, Dinty, I guess I'll quit smoking.
1222
01:30:04,815 --> 01:30:08,193
Thanks, and my name isn't Dinty.
1223
01:30:08,235 --> 01:30:12,322
And before you go, I want you to know
that my name is Aloysius
1224
01:30:12,364 --> 01:30:14,324
and you didn't guess it.
1225
01:30:16,076 --> 01:30:18,995
- Your name is what?
- Aloysius.
1226
01:30:22,458 --> 01:30:24,751
What did you say your name was?
1227
01:30:24,793 --> 01:30:27,754
Aloysius and you didn't guess it.
1228
01:30:31,342 --> 01:30:33,987
Who would've guessed it?
1229
01:30:34,011 --> 01:30:35,804
<i>No...</i>
1230
01:30:46,857 --> 01:30:48,984
He said...

Thunderbolt Jim Lang (George Bancroft), wanted on robbery and murder charges, ventures out with his girl, "Ritzy" (Fay Wray), to a Harlem nightclub, where she informs him that she is going straight. During a raid on the club, Thunderbolt escapes. His gang shadows Ritzy and reports that she is living with Mrs. Moran (Eugenie Besserer), whose son, Bob (Richard Arlen), a bank clerk, is in love with Ritzy. Fearing for Bob's safety, Ritzy engineers a police trap for Thunderbolt; he escapes but is later captured, tried, and sentenced to be executed at Sing Sing. From the death house, he successfully plots to frame Bob in a bank robbery and killing. Bob is placed in the facing cell, and guards frustrate Thunderbolt's attempts to get to his rival. When Ritzy marries Bob in the death house, Thunderbolt confesses his part in Bob's conviction. He plots to kill the boy on the night of his execution, but instead at the last minute his hand falls on Bob's shoulder in a gesture of friendship.

1
00:01:56,866 --> 00:01:58,051
Eleven o'clock.
2
00:01:58,075 --> 00:02:00,035
I didn't know it was so late.
3
00:02:06,584 --> 00:02:07,751
Goodnight.
4
00:02:07,793 --> 00:02:09,503
Goodnight, dear.
5
00:02:19,180 --> 00:02:21,015
Oh, Bob!
6
00:02:24,185 --> 00:02:26,103
You've got my gloves.
7
00:02:27,688 --> 00:02:30,899
That's funny, there's a pair of gloves
in my pocket.
8
00:02:30,941 --> 00:02:32,776
Are these yours?
9
00:02:33,778 --> 00:02:36,030
Let me put them on for you.
10
00:02:41,410 --> 00:02:43,829
Bob, I really must go now.
11
00:02:47,208 --> 00:02:48,709
Goodnight.
12
00:02:48,751 --> 00:02:53,251
And, honey, you will be on time
tomorrow night, won't you?
13
00:02:53,297 --> 00:02:55,859
You were late tonight
and I was worried.
14
00:02:55,883 --> 00:02:58,510
I'll try awfully hard, Bob.
15
00:03:16,862 --> 00:03:19,865
Just drive down the street a bit,
I'll tell you where to go later.
16
00:03:25,162 --> 00:03:26,830
I'll tell you where to go right now.
17
00:03:26,872 --> 00:03:28,832
Police headquarters.
18
00:03:47,727 --> 00:03:49,770
Go on, get up there.
19
00:03:56,026 --> 00:03:58,570
Well, well, well, if it isn't Ritzie.
20
00:03:58,612 --> 00:04:01,281
This is indeed an honor and a pleasure.
21
00:04:03,868 --> 00:04:06,370
It takes so little to give some
people pleasure, doesn't it?
22
00:04:06,412 --> 00:04:08,247
Where's Thunderbolt?
23
00:04:08,289 --> 00:04:10,541
- Who?
- Don't try any of that stuff on me.
24
00:04:10,583 --> 00:04:12,293
You know who I mean.
25
00:04:12,334 --> 00:04:13,974
In case your memory
has suddenly left you,
26
00:04:14,003 --> 00:04:17,149
let me remind you of Jim Lang,
sometimes called Jim Carson,
27
00:04:17,173 --> 00:04:20,277
sometimes called... well, sometimes
called anything in the world
28
00:04:20,301 --> 00:04:22,678
but always known as Thunderbolt.
29
00:04:26,557 --> 00:04:29,619
I suppose that you've never even heard
of the Hellinger case.
30
00:04:29,643 --> 00:04:32,228
Or the million-dollar
St. Louis Terminal job.
31
00:04:32,313 --> 00:04:36,813
Or the time that he held up
the Iroquois Bank single-handed.
32
00:04:36,984 --> 00:04:40,404
He's wanted right now by nine states
for bank robbery,
33
00:04:40,446 --> 00:04:44,946
and there's two more that'd like to
talk to him on a little matter of murder.
34
00:04:45,242 --> 00:04:47,953
Now maybe you can remember who he is.
35
00:04:49,371 --> 00:04:52,165
Quit your stalling. Where is he?
36
00:04:52,208 --> 00:04:54,418
I don't know what you're talking about.
37
00:04:54,460 --> 00:04:58,297
Don't you try to Ritz me, Ritzie.
38
00:05:02,384 --> 00:05:04,196
Where did you see him last?
39
00:05:04,220 --> 00:05:05,655
I don't remember.
40
00:05:05,679 --> 00:05:07,449
Oh, you won't talk, eh?
41
00:05:07,473 --> 00:05:09,534
Well, maybe you can tell me this.
42
00:05:09,558 --> 00:05:13,538
Who was the other half of the bench picnic
in the park tonight?
43
00:05:13,562 --> 00:05:15,730
Bench picnic?
44
00:05:15,773 --> 00:05:18,525
I was in the park tonight
but I was alone.
45
00:05:18,567 --> 00:05:20,735
Your men must be seeing double, Inspector.
46
00:05:20,778 --> 00:05:24,114
Oh, my men were seeing double,
were they?
47
00:05:26,575 --> 00:05:29,828
Well, here's the other half
of what they saw.
48
00:05:38,671 --> 00:05:40,190
I've had enough of this stalling.
49
00:05:40,214 --> 00:05:43,235
You two have been meeting night after night
for months and I know it.
50
00:05:43,259 --> 00:05:44,986
Well, supposing we have been meeting.
51
00:05:45,010 --> 00:05:46,655
Being in love is no crime yet.
52
00:05:46,679 --> 00:05:48,490
Maybe not,
but being in love with her
53
00:05:48,514 --> 00:05:51,642
is apt to cause you a lot of trouble,
young fellow.
54
00:05:53,561 --> 00:05:55,437
I wonder if you know
that she is the girlfriend
55
00:05:55,479 --> 00:05:58,190
of the most notorious criminal
this state has ever known.
56
00:05:58,232 --> 00:05:59,918
She's been a member of his gang
for two years,
57
00:05:59,942 --> 00:06:01,360
ever since she met him.
58
00:06:01,402 --> 00:06:02,820
I don't know
a woman in this city
59
00:06:02,862 --> 00:06:05,281
that knows more about him
and his affairs than she does.
60
00:06:05,322 --> 00:06:07,824
I know all about that.
That's all over now.
61
00:06:07,867 --> 00:06:09,761
- Where's Thunderbolt?
- I don't know and I don't care.
62
00:06:09,785 --> 00:06:12,496
- What do you do for a living?
- I work at a bank.
63
00:06:13,622 --> 00:06:17,917
How would you like to lose your job
and maybe work in a penitentiary?
64
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,062
That's where you're headed...
65
00:06:19,086 --> 00:06:21,129
You let him alone.
66
00:06:22,256 --> 00:06:23,483
He's on the level.
67
00:06:23,507 --> 00:06:25,443
He's got nothing to do with that crowd.
68
00:06:25,467 --> 00:06:28,613
Listen, Ritzie, you're a smart girl
and you can save yourself a lot of trouble
69
00:06:28,637 --> 00:06:30,740
by giving us a line on Thunderbolt.
70
00:06:30,764 --> 00:06:33,201
You know we can make it pretty hot for you.
71
00:06:33,225 --> 00:06:35,537
You've got nothing on me
and you know it.
72
00:06:35,561 --> 00:06:38,355
If you had,
you'd have locked me up long ago.
73
00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:40,858
I'm through with that mob for good.
74
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:45,400
Whatever mistakes I've made,
I've paid for in my own way.
75
00:06:47,865 --> 00:06:48,907
What do you say, Chief?
76
00:06:48,949 --> 00:06:51,034
Shall I take 'em down and book 'em?
77
00:06:51,076 --> 00:06:52,577
Never mind.
78
00:06:52,620 --> 00:06:55,456
You can go now.
79
00:06:55,497 --> 00:06:57,540
Let her go.
80
00:07:08,427 --> 00:07:10,429
Goodnight, Inspector.
81
00:07:11,555 --> 00:07:13,223
And thank you.
82
00:07:19,939 --> 00:07:22,358
Don't let that dame out of your sight.
83
00:07:22,399 --> 00:07:26,361
Thunderbolt will go through an iron wall
to see her.
84
00:07:26,403 --> 00:07:29,114
And we want to be there
when they meet.
85
00:07:29,156 --> 00:07:31,616
There's always the chance
of nabbing him
86
00:07:31,659 --> 00:07:34,244
as long as she's out.
87
00:08:05,234 --> 00:08:08,320
Good evening, Mr. Th-Th-Thunderbolt.
88
00:08:08,362 --> 00:08:09,946
I got your phone call.
89
00:08:09,989 --> 00:08:13,409
- The the best in the house.
- All right, Oscar.
90
00:08:16,745 --> 00:08:18,788
Check your hat, sir?
91
00:08:19,957 --> 00:08:21,458
No thanks.
92
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:24,377
I never know
when I'm going to leave in a hurry.
93
00:08:25,587 --> 00:08:28,506
I always like to have my hat be with me.
94
00:08:30,801 --> 00:08:34,280
Say, boy, am I seeing right?
95
00:08:34,304 --> 00:08:35,907
Is that Thunderbolt?
96
00:08:35,931 --> 00:08:38,159
Does that mean
there's gonna be any trouble?
97
00:08:38,183 --> 00:08:39,244
Maybe not.
98
00:08:39,268 --> 00:08:41,770
I'm keeping one foot (unintelligible).
99
00:09:12,885 --> 00:09:16,406
Say, (unintelligible) Thunderbolt?
100
00:09:16,430 --> 00:09:20,930
He hits you with that big right soupbone
and just ruins you,
101
00:09:21,060 --> 00:09:23,520
all in one little smackeroo.
102
00:09:23,604 --> 00:09:25,522
That's why they call him Thunderbolt.
103
00:09:25,606 --> 00:09:27,858
Say, one little piece of lead
104
00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:31,612
and the littlest guy'
leave even
as big... The biggest man dead.
105
00:09:31,653 --> 00:09:34,656
Say, why don't nobody take a shot at him?
106
00:09:34,698 --> 00:09:37,409
Well,
the cemetery's full of them that missed.
107
00:09:38,494 --> 00:09:40,662
Let's have some real service, Oscar.
108
00:09:40,704 --> 00:09:43,415
And your r-r-regular order, sir?
109
00:09:43,457 --> 00:09:44,499
Right.
110
00:09:44,541 --> 00:09:46,459
What are you going to have, baby?
111
00:09:46,502 --> 00:09:47,628
Nothing.
112
00:09:48,754 --> 00:09:52,192
That means she'll have a chicken sandwich
and a glass of milk.
113
00:09:52,216 --> 00:09:54,468
Y-y-yes, boss, yes.
114
00:09:57,721 --> 00:09:59,908
What's the matter, Ritzie,
what are you sore about?
115
00:09:59,932 --> 00:10:01,409
I'm not sore.
116
00:10:01,433 --> 00:10:03,810
What good would it do if I were?
117
00:10:07,272 --> 00:10:08,356
What are you looking at?
118
00:10:08,398 --> 00:10:12,777
I'm looking at nothing,
and it's wearing a tuxedo.
119
00:10:14,863 --> 00:10:15,989
Who are you talking to?
120
00:10:16,031 --> 00:10:18,259
Stay right with him, baby.
Don't let him get away with anything.
121
00:10:18,283 --> 00:10:20,410
You might be lightning
to a lot of people,
122
00:10:20,452 --> 00:10:23,580
but you're just a wet match to me.
123
00:10:37,094 --> 00:10:39,280
Say, you big bozo.
124
00:10:39,304 --> 00:10:41,533
That ain't no way to treat a lady.
125
00:10:41,557 --> 00:10:42,599
No?
126
00:10:44,226 --> 00:10:45,268
Give me that gun.
127
00:10:49,398 --> 00:10:52,943
So you don't like the way I treat a lady,
huh?
128
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,699
I ain't gonna wait
for that ham sandwich another minute.
129
00:10:58,740 --> 00:11:00,199
I ain't hungry. Is you?
130
00:11:00,242 --> 00:11:01,886
Oh boy, somebody better call an ambulance.
131
00:11:01,910 --> 00:11:04,203
You wait till I get home,
I'm gonna tell my husband.
132
00:11:04,246 --> 00:11:07,290
L-I-lady, why don't you stop?
133
00:11:07,332 --> 00:11:09,769
- There's gonna be trouble in here in a minute.
- I'm all wet.
134
00:11:09,793 --> 00:11:12,587
I told you he was gon' hit her.
135
00:11:12,629 --> 00:11:16,132
- Take it easy, huh, be careful.
- Are they gonna shoot again?
136
00:11:19,219 --> 00:11:21,239
- Snapper.
- Wait a minute.
137
00:11:21,263 --> 00:11:22,740
Get back there.
138
00:11:22,764 --> 00:11:25,285
Where do you guys think you're going?
139
00:11:25,309 --> 00:11:26,578
Watch 'em, Jimmy.
140
00:11:26,602 --> 00:11:28,204
I wanna go home.
141
00:11:28,228 --> 00:11:29,270
Sit down.
142
00:11:29,313 --> 00:11:32,733
Hey, the two of you men,
143
00:11:32,774 --> 00:11:34,692
clean up this mess out here.
144
00:11:34,735 --> 00:11:36,278
(unintelligible).
145
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,696
Everything all right, chief?
146
00:11:37,738 --> 00:11:38,905
Tough crowd here tonight.
147
00:11:38,947 --> 00:11:40,633
Yeah, how do you feel tonight, Snapper?
148
00:11:40,657 --> 00:11:42,367
Oh, fine, chief.
149
00:11:42,409 --> 00:11:43,827
Hello there, Ritzie.
150
00:11:43,869 --> 00:11:45,036
Have some nuts.
151
00:11:45,078 --> 00:11:46,245
Great for the system.
152
00:11:46,288 --> 00:11:48,415
Fills up the body.
153
00:11:48,457 --> 00:11:50,709
How about your mind?
154
00:11:55,172 --> 00:11:57,066
What do we do with her, Snapper?
155
00:11:57,090 --> 00:12:01,362
Oh, drag that cluck outta here, will ya?
156
00:12:01,386 --> 00:12:04,490
A couple of yous guys.
157
00:12:04,514 --> 00:12:06,265
Let me help you, Snapper.
158
00:12:07,142 --> 00:12:09,329
Hey, lay off that, will ya?
159
00:12:09,353 --> 00:12:11,897
That's my trigger finger.
160
00:12:11,939 --> 00:12:14,191
What a fine night this is.
161
00:12:15,234 --> 00:12:18,237
Oh, uh, listen up, boy.
162
00:12:18,278 --> 00:12:21,197
Oh, uh, oh, uh, get out of here.
163
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,282
Music, boys.
164
00:12:29,706 --> 00:12:33,251
I suppose you thought it was funny
starting that ruckus.
165
00:12:34,127 --> 00:12:37,023
Strikes me you could stand
a little cooling off.
166
00:12:37,047 --> 00:12:39,067
How would you like
a dose of it yourself?
167
00:12:39,091 --> 00:12:40,151
Go right ahead.
168
00:12:40,175 --> 00:12:42,760
I wouldn't put it past you for a minute.
169
00:12:49,393 --> 00:12:53,438
<i>When night is creepin'
and I should be sleepin' in bed</i>
170
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,608
What are you trying to do, baby,
get me sore?
171
00:12:56,650 --> 00:13:00,713
<i>If you were peepin'
you'd find that I'm weepin' instead</i>
172
00:13:00,737 --> 00:13:03,573
Jim, I'm going to quit.
173
00:13:03,615 --> 00:13:05,241
What, again?
174
00:13:05,284 --> 00:13:06,493
I mean it this time.
175
00:13:06,535 --> 00:13:08,245
I've been trying to tell you.
176
00:13:08,287 --> 00:13:10,539
I'm not going on with it anymore.
177
00:13:10,580 --> 00:13:13,082
- <i>I'm</i> through.
<i>- Night after night</i>
178
00:13:13,125 --> 00:13:14,543
Through with what?
179
00:13:14,584 --> 00:13:17,897
What are you talking about?
180
00:13:17,921 --> 00:13:19,399
All this.
181
00:13:19,423 --> 00:13:21,401
These people.
182
00:13:21,425 --> 00:13:22,467
You.
183
00:13:25,887 --> 00:13:29,075
<i>No one can fill
that vacant chair</i>
184
00:13:29,099 --> 00:13:31,035
We're going to have this out right now.
185
00:13:31,059 --> 00:13:32,870
<i>When you're not there</i>
186
00:13:32,894 --> 00:13:37,394
<i>No need to knock,
the door is open for you</i>
187
00:13:38,608 --> 00:13:41,944
<i>-Please, daddy</i>
-We'll <i>find</i> a place where <i>we can</i> talk.
188
00:13:43,947 --> 00:13:44,989
Come on.
189
00:13:47,075 --> 00:13:51,162
<i>Daddy, do you have to roam so very long?</i>
190
00:13:51,204 --> 00:13:52,872
Come on.
191
00:13:52,914 --> 00:13:57,414
<i>There's lots of other new sheiks
who would like to be sheikin'</i>
192
00:13:57,961 --> 00:13:59,837
Come on, baby.
193
00:14:00,881 --> 00:14:05,381
<i>Daddy, daddy, daddy,
won't you please come home?</i>
194
00:14:08,597 --> 00:14:11,743
<i>Night after night, I'm or yin'</i>
195
00:14:11,767 --> 00:14:15,079
<i>Daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
196
00:14:15,103 --> 00:14:18,022
<i>Daddy,
won't you please come home?</i>
197
00:14:18,065 --> 00:14:22,069
<i>I'm so lonesome</i>
198
00:14:22,110 --> 00:14:25,196
<i>No one can fill
that vacant chair</i>
199
00:14:25,238 --> 00:14:28,532
<i>Home isn't home
if you're not there</i>
200
00:14:28,575 --> 00:14:33,075
<i>No need to knock,
the door is open for you</i>
201
00:14:33,955 --> 00:14:35,373
<i>Sweet daddy</i>
202
00:14:35,415 --> 00:14:38,626
<i>Even the clock keeps tickin'</i>
203
00:14:38,668 --> 00:14:41,981
<i>Daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
204
00:14:42,005 --> 00:14:46,505
<i>Daddy, do you have to roam so very long?</i>
205
00:14:47,552 --> 00:14:52,052
<i>There's lots of other new sheiks
who would like to be sheikin'</i>
206
00:14:52,140 --> 00:14:55,453
<i>Haven't slipped yet,
but I'm liable to weaken</i>
207
00:14:55,477 --> 00:14:59,977
<i>Daddy, daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
208
00:15:13,787 --> 00:15:15,747
I don't get you at all.
209
00:15:15,789 --> 00:15:19,584
You tell me you want to step out tonight,
go somewhere that's lively.
210
00:15:19,626 --> 00:15:22,045
I risk my neck
by walking into this joint,
211
00:15:22,087 --> 00:15:25,191
with all the cops
in the world on my trail.
212
00:15:25,215 --> 00:15:26,984
There's a 10-to-1 shot
there's a couple of dicks
213
00:15:27,008 --> 00:15:30,613
shadowing you right now to get to me.
214
00:15:30,637 --> 00:15:32,657
It's all right with me.
215
00:15:32,681 --> 00:15:35,326
I can take care of myself.
216
00:15:35,350 --> 00:15:38,895
But I do all this,
I take this big chance,
217
00:15:38,937 --> 00:15:40,563
and your idea
of the way to behave
218
00:15:40,605 --> 00:15:44,877
is to start that foolishness
all over again.
219
00:15:44,901 --> 00:15:46,569
What's the big idea?
220
00:15:46,611 --> 00:15:48,070
It's just this, Jim.
221
00:15:48,113 --> 00:15:50,448
I want to be decent again.
222
00:15:50,490 --> 00:15:54,160
Well, babe, you've always been
the most decent kid in the racket.
223
00:15:58,039 --> 00:16:01,917
You know, I used to get a big kick
out of being your girl,
224
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,896
out of knowing that
you'd take a chance on your life
225
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,213
just to see me
for a few minutes.
226
00:16:18,894 --> 00:16:22,105
You're the swellest girl
I ever knew.
227
00:16:25,317 --> 00:16:28,862
You wouldn't want to keep me
if I didn't want to stay, would you, Jim?
228
00:16:28,904 --> 00:16:30,947
Wouldn't I?
229
00:16:32,199 --> 00:16:36,661
I'd keep you with me
if the whole world didn't want you to stay
230
00:16:36,703 --> 00:16:38,663
and make them like it.
231
00:16:38,705 --> 00:16:40,665
That's just it.
232
00:16:40,707 --> 00:16:43,751
I don't want people to respect me
because they're afraid
233
00:16:43,793 --> 00:16:45,753
you'll crush their heads
if they don't.
234
00:16:45,795 --> 00:16:48,733
I don't want the police trailing me
wherever I go.
235
00:16:48,757 --> 00:16:51,968
I don't want people pointing at me
and whispering about me.
236
00:16:52,010 --> 00:16:55,281
All this Ritzie talk, boiled down,
means that you...
237
00:16:55,305 --> 00:16:57,366
You're ashamed of me, huh?
238
00:16:57,390 --> 00:17:00,976
No, just ashamed of myself.
239
00:17:01,019 --> 00:17:03,646
I want to know people
who are different from you and me,
240
00:17:03,688 --> 00:17:06,315
people who lead decent, normal lives.
241
00:17:06,358 --> 00:17:09,194
People who get up in the morning
to go to work.
242
00:17:09,236 --> 00:17:10,779
Regular people.
243
00:17:10,820 --> 00:17:12,905
Oh, don't be a fool.
244
00:17:12,948 --> 00:17:14,824
I don't care what you call me, Jim.
245
00:17:14,866 --> 00:17:17,326
That's the way I'm going
to live from now on.
246
00:17:17,369 --> 00:17:18,995
I'm going to quit.
247
00:17:20,372 --> 00:17:22,874
Well, let me tell you something, Ritzie.
248
00:17:22,916 --> 00:17:25,376
Maybe I'd like to go straight too.
249
00:17:25,418 --> 00:17:27,461
I haven't thought about it much.
250
00:17:27,504 --> 00:17:29,649
Maybe I don't know how.
251
00:17:29,673 --> 00:17:33,468
But as long as I'm going my way,
you're going with me.
252
00:17:35,262 --> 00:17:38,115
You're all I've got
that means anything to me.
253
00:17:38,139 --> 00:17:39,492
Do you think I would...
254
00:17:39,516 --> 00:17:42,352
Oh, come on, let's have a good time.
255
00:17:44,312 --> 00:17:46,897
You'll feel better
in the morning.
256
00:17:57,033 --> 00:17:59,702
Wait a minute.
257
00:17:59,744 --> 00:18:03,330
You haven't fallen for another guy,
have you?
258
00:18:03,373 --> 00:18:05,792
- Who is he?
- There is no other guy, Jim.
259
00:18:05,834 --> 00:18:07,627
It's just that we're through.
260
00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:09,837
You and me will never be through, Ritzie.
261
00:18:09,879 --> 00:18:11,566
Get that straight.
262
00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:15,528
You're my girl and nobody on earth
can take you away from me.
263
00:18:15,552 --> 00:18:19,448
Do you think you could hold me
if I didn't love you anymore?
264
00:18:19,472 --> 00:18:20,992
That don't worry me.
265
00:18:21,016 --> 00:18:24,787
It's the guy that tries to take you away
from me that's got the worrying to do.
266
00:18:24,811 --> 00:18:29,311
Oh, I know, it would be easy enough for you
to get your gang to do anything.
267
00:18:29,482 --> 00:18:33,777
That's one job
I wouldn't let anybody do for me.
268
00:18:36,740 --> 00:18:39,200
Come on, baby.
269
00:18:39,242 --> 00:18:41,327
Come on.
270
00:18:52,213 --> 00:18:55,651
I'd get that guy by myself
271
00:18:55,675 --> 00:19:00,175
if it was the last thing
in this world I ever did.
272
00:19:15,904 --> 00:19:17,196
Uh-oh.
273
00:19:17,238 --> 00:19:21,242
W-w—w-what... what's that n-n-now?
274
00:19:21,284 --> 00:19:24,245
I told you this was gonna happen.
275
00:19:24,287 --> 00:19:27,999
Hey, get off my foot.
276
00:19:28,041 --> 00:19:29,459
Find that light switch.
277
00:19:29,501 --> 00:19:32,003
Don't get excited, folks,
it's only a little raid.
278
00:19:32,045 --> 00:19:34,857
Everybody who can stand to pitch
will kindly keep their seats.
279
00:19:34,881 --> 00:19:38,259
Stand still there or I'll shoot.
280
00:19:40,929 --> 00:19:42,281
Don't move.
281
00:19:42,305 --> 00:19:43,699
I ain't movin', boss.
282
00:19:43,723 --> 00:19:45,975
I've been pushed.
283
00:20:09,833 --> 00:20:11,668
Where is Thunderbolt?
Come clean.
284
00:20:11,710 --> 00:20:13,002
Where is he?
285
00:20:14,587 --> 00:20:16,380
I don't know.
286
00:20:19,008 --> 00:20:21,969
And I don't ever want to know.
287
00:20:45,410 --> 00:20:49,789
I want you men to get this
and get it straight.
288
00:20:49,831 --> 00:20:52,166
It's been two months since Thunderbolt
got away from you
289
00:20:52,208 --> 00:20:54,960
and he's got to be found.
290
00:20:55,003 --> 00:20:58,983
Thunderbolt's girl's been living up
at Young Moran's house for weeks
291
00:20:59,007 --> 00:21:01,277
with the kid and his mother.
292
00:21:01,301 --> 00:21:05,801
Don't tell me that that kid doesn't know
something about Thunderbolt.
293
00:21:07,015 --> 00:21:08,826
Put the works on him.
294
00:21:08,850 --> 00:21:10,578
He'll talk
295
00:21:10,602 --> 00:21:15,102
when it's a question of talking
or being out of a job.
296
00:21:27,035 --> 00:21:28,578
Mr. Corwin wants to see you, Bob.
297
00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:30,622
Okay, Jimmy.
298
00:21:44,427 --> 00:21:46,489
You sent for me, Mr. Corwin?
299
00:21:46,513 --> 00:21:47,555
Yes.
300
00:21:48,723 --> 00:21:49,765
Sit down.
301
00:22:03,279 --> 00:22:04,280
Hello, Mom.
302
00:22:05,448 --> 00:22:07,825
- You're late, Bob.
- Yeah, I stayed overtime.
303
00:22:07,867 --> 00:22:09,827
- Hello, dear.
- Hello.
304
00:22:09,869 --> 00:22:12,162
I'm so glad you're here, Bob,
we were worried.
305
00:22:12,205 --> 00:22:14,790
Oh, I'm sorry, Mary,
but there's nothing to worry about.
306
00:22:14,833 --> 00:22:16,477
Everything was all right at the bank,
wasn't it?
307
00:22:16,501 --> 00:22:18,669
Everything was perfect.
308
00:22:21,506 --> 00:22:23,776
Yes, sir, everything was perfect.
309
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,737
- Until about 4:00.
- What happened about 4:00?
310
00:22:26,761 --> 00:22:27,863
Nothing much.
311
00:22:27,887 --> 00:22:29,740
I just got fired.
312
00:22:29,764 --> 00:22:32,284
That's why I stayed late
to turn over my accounts.
313
00:22:32,308 --> 00:22:33,452
You're joking?
314
00:22:33,476 --> 00:22:35,621
I'm not joking, it's the truth.
315
00:22:35,645 --> 00:22:37,438
What was it, Bob?
What was the matter?
316
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,901
Nothing, Mr. Corwin and I just couldn't
agree on how a bank should be run.
317
00:22:43,069 --> 00:22:44,779
It was on my account, wasn't it?
318
00:22:44,821 --> 00:22:46,298
Don't be silly.
319
00:22:46,322 --> 00:22:48,991
Tell me, Bob, I've got to know.
320
00:22:49,033 --> 00:22:51,201
They just told me
I'd have to make a choice.
321
00:22:51,244 --> 00:22:52,847
Either I'd have to give you up or else...
322
00:22:52,871 --> 00:22:53,955
Or else what?
323
00:22:53,997 --> 00:22:56,082
Just or else, that's all.
324
00:22:56,124 --> 00:22:58,376
Well, I'm glad you quit.
325
00:22:58,418 --> 00:23:02,213
I never could understand
why you wanted to stay at that bank anyhow.
326
00:23:02,255 --> 00:23:04,275
I don't think there was much chance
for you there.
327
00:23:04,299 --> 00:23:07,152
Wherever you go,
they'll always be finding out about me.
328
00:23:07,176 --> 00:23:09,446
Let 'em,
there's nothing to find out about you.
329
00:23:09,470 --> 00:23:12,283
You know, I always thought
you were too good for that place.
330
00:23:12,307 --> 00:23:14,767
They didn't appreciate you.
331
00:23:17,395 --> 00:23:19,438
Oh, don't start crying, dear.
332
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,333
You'll get your nose red.
333
00:23:21,357 --> 00:23:23,734
A thing like this doesn't bother us,
does it, Mom?
334
00:23:23,776 --> 00:23:25,778
We've looked for jobs before.
335
00:23:25,820 --> 00:23:27,298
I should never have come here at all.
336
00:23:27,322 --> 00:23:28,489
I knew it wasn't right.
337
00:23:28,531 --> 00:23:30,533
What wasn't right?
338
00:23:30,575 --> 00:23:34,120
Coming to live here
with you and your mother.
339
00:23:34,162 --> 00:23:36,247
You've been wonderful to me.
340
00:23:36,289 --> 00:23:38,666
And this is the way
I'm repaying you,
341
00:23:38,708 --> 00:23:39,792
getting you discharged.
342
00:23:39,834 --> 00:23:42,419
You're working yourself up
over nothing, Mary.
343
00:23:42,462 --> 00:23:44,815
What if I do lose a job now and then?
344
00:23:44,839 --> 00:23:46,567
What difference does it make?
345
00:23:46,591 --> 00:23:50,070
Come on, let's all go out
and have a good time tonight.
346
00:23:50,094 --> 00:23:52,698
Oh, Bob, your mother's
fixed a lovely supper for us.
347
00:23:52,722 --> 00:23:54,283
The lovely supper will keep.
348
00:23:54,307 --> 00:23:55,367
Bob is right.
349
00:23:55,391 --> 00:23:57,870
What you two need is to go out
and enjoy yourselves.
350
00:23:57,894 --> 00:24:00,289
Yeah,
we can't let a chance like this go by.
351
00:24:00,313 --> 00:24:02,690
I may not get fired again
for a long time.
352
00:24:02,732 --> 00:24:04,483
I've got some mending to do.
353
00:24:04,525 --> 00:24:06,318
You children go along by yourselves.
354
00:24:06,361 --> 00:24:09,030
Come now.
Come and get all dressed up.
355
00:24:09,072 --> 00:24:10,698
There you are.
356
00:24:16,371 --> 00:24:19,832
(unintelligible).
357
00:24:25,755 --> 00:24:27,900
Did someone knock, Bob?
358
00:24:27,924 --> 00:24:30,986
I thought I heard a knock.
359
00:24:31,010 --> 00:24:32,886
There's no one out here.
360
00:24:34,681 --> 00:24:37,117
Come on, get your hat, Bob.
361
00:24:37,141 --> 00:24:38,202
Run along, dear.
362
00:24:38,226 --> 00:24:40,353
- Have a good time.
- Goodnight.
363
00:24:41,396 --> 00:24:43,689
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight, Mom.
364
00:25:15,596 --> 00:25:18,283
Now, don't feel that way.
365
00:25:18,307 --> 00:25:20,475
Nothing important has happened.
366
00:25:20,518 --> 00:25:23,747
The thing that gets me
is that I was expecting a promotion,
367
00:25:23,771 --> 00:25:25,689
and you know what that meant.
368
00:25:25,732 --> 00:25:26,983
I'm not gonna wait any longer.
369
00:25:27,025 --> 00:25:29,861
As soon as I get a job again,
we're going to be married.
370
00:25:29,902 --> 00:25:32,112
There's no sense in waiting.
371
00:25:34,449 --> 00:25:36,409
Well, if it ain't the long lost child.
372
00:25:36,451 --> 00:25:37,469
Hello there, Ritzie.
373
00:25:37,493 --> 00:25:40,162
Well, it was a long time finding ya.
374
00:25:40,204 --> 00:25:41,622
I think you've made a mistake.
375
00:25:41,664 --> 00:25:44,208
You made a mistake, baby,
thinking you could keep out of sight.
376
00:25:44,250 --> 00:25:47,253
- Come on, Bob.
- So this is the old hideaway, is it?
377
00:25:47,295 --> 00:25:50,506
Well, I guess you know Thunderbolt's
been looking high and low for ya, don't ya?
378
00:25:50,548 --> 00:25:51,984
Why didn't you let him know
where you were?
379
00:25:52,008 --> 00:25:53,318
Drop him a postcard or something.
380
00:25:53,342 --> 00:25:55,112
I'm not interested in Thunderbolt.
381
00:25:55,136 --> 00:25:57,698
You're not, huh?
382
00:25:57,722 --> 00:26:02,222
And this is the Kewpie that made a sucker
out of Thunderbolt, huh?
383
00:26:02,643 --> 00:26:05,914
Well, I wouldn't be in your shoes
for all the rice in China.
384
00:26:05,938 --> 00:26:07,397
Stay on the level, Ritzie.
385
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,817
What have you been doing
with yourself all this time?
386
00:26:09,859 --> 00:26:11,277
Take your hand off her.
387
00:26:11,319 --> 00:26:12,504
Don't shove me.
388
00:26:12,528 --> 00:26:14,071
I'll shove ya.
389
00:26:14,113 --> 00:26:15,507
Well, I'll teach you to shove me.
390
00:26:15,531 --> 00:26:17,616
Look out, Bob, he's got a gun!
391
00:26:23,164 --> 00:26:24,641
Come on, Bob, let's go back upstairs.
392
00:26:24,665 --> 00:26:26,875
I'd like to take another sock at that guy.
393
00:26:26,918 --> 00:26:28,252
You've hurt your hand too.
394
00:26:28,294 --> 00:26:29,336
Come on, Bob.
395
00:26:31,714 --> 00:26:35,069
Did you fall downstairs?
396
00:26:35,093 --> 00:26:39,114
- Why, what happened?
- He fell downstairs, the poor man.
397
00:26:39,138 --> 00:26:42,201
I'd put a piece of fresh beef steak
on that eye if I were you.
398
00:26:42,225 --> 00:26:43,786
Well, you ain't me.
399
00:26:43,810 --> 00:26:46,705
My sister always puts a key
down the back of her neck
400
00:26:46,729 --> 00:26:48,480
to stop a nosebleed.
401
00:26:48,523 --> 00:26:51,484
I'll slip something down the back of
your neck if you don't leave me alone.
402
00:26:51,526 --> 00:26:54,195
Where's the nearest telephone
around here?
403
00:26:54,237 --> 00:26:56,781
Well, here,
don't you dare go near there.
404
00:26:56,823 --> 00:27:00,076
Oh, I just hate to see anybody hurt.
405
00:27:01,786 --> 00:27:04,079
Oh, now a squalling baby.
406
00:27:06,165 --> 00:27:08,041
Why, what's the matter?
407
00:27:08,084 --> 00:27:11,128
Nothing.
She talked me out of going out.
408
00:27:11,170 --> 00:27:13,463
You've hurt your hand.
What's happened?
409
00:27:13,506 --> 00:27:15,925
I guess I knocked it
against something.
410
00:27:18,803 --> 00:27:21,597
What's happened, Mary?
411
00:27:21,639 --> 00:27:24,118
We ran into a man I used to know.
412
00:27:24,142 --> 00:27:27,246
He tried to get fresh
and Bob had to hit him.
413
00:27:27,270 --> 00:27:29,814
Oh, I... I see, I...
414
00:27:31,149 --> 00:27:33,151
Well, we'll put something on it.
415
00:27:33,192 --> 00:27:34,419
- Don't bother, Mom.
- No, come on,
416
00:27:34,443 --> 00:27:36,088
we'll wash it out
and put some iodine on it.
417
00:27:36,112 --> 00:27:37,422
I don't want any of that stuff on it.
418
00:27:37,446 --> 00:27:40,240
Took a week for it to
wear off the last time.
419
00:27:41,826 --> 00:27:43,702
I don't want anything on it.
420
00:27:45,037 --> 00:27:46,913
That water could be hot.
421
00:27:48,207 --> 00:27:50,250
Mom, you treat me like I was a baby.
422
00:27:50,293 --> 00:27:51,919
That's all you act like
when you're hurt.
423
00:27:51,961 --> 00:27:53,045
Well, I ain't hurt.
424
00:27:53,087 --> 00:27:55,274
You got me mixed up
with the other guy.
425
00:27:55,298 --> 00:27:56,692
I'll bet you never touched
the other guy.
426
00:27:56,716 --> 00:27:59,820
Yeah? Well, no mother'
be able
to fix him up for a long time.
427
00:27:59,844 --> 00:28:03,013
That's what you say.
I'd like to see him to believe that.
428
00:28:07,143 --> 00:28:09,645
Answer the telephone, Mary.
429
00:28:18,446 --> 00:28:21,907
Mary, answer the telephone.
430
00:28:27,496 --> 00:28:28,538
Hello?
431
00:28:33,711 --> 00:28:36,088
How's every little thing?
432
00:28:40,676 --> 00:28:43,261
I'll be coming up your way.
433
00:28:47,767 --> 00:28:50,370
I can't, eh?
434
00:28:50,394 --> 00:28:52,771
I'll come right down.
435
00:28:52,813 --> 00:28:54,773
What for?
436
00:28:54,815 --> 00:28:57,317
It won't make any difference
to your boyfriend.
437
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,945
You might as well say goodbye
to him now.
438
00:28:59,987 --> 00:29:03,365
I just called up
to give you fair warning.
439
00:29:10,831 --> 00:29:12,976
- Let's put this iodine on it.
- I don't want any iodine.
440
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,752
Now hold still, hold still.
441
00:29:16,545 --> 00:29:18,296
Ouch. Ow!
442
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,277
Now look what you've done.
443
00:29:22,301 --> 00:29:23,820
All over my clean floor.
444
00:29:23,844 --> 00:29:25,679
I'll clean it up.
445
00:29:27,139 --> 00:29:28,325
Not my towels!
446
00:29:28,349 --> 00:29:29,993
Ouch.
447
00:29:30,017 --> 00:29:32,829
Do nothing but buy towels for this place.
448
00:29:32,853 --> 00:29:34,414
Look out there now.
449
00:29:34,438 --> 00:29:37,816
You know I keep
the floor cloths under here.
450
00:29:37,858 --> 00:29:39,067
Look at that iodine.
451
00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:40,486
You never can get that up.
452
00:29:40,528 --> 00:29:42,714
Well, I told you not to bring it out,
didn't I?
453
00:29:42,738 --> 00:29:44,030
I'd like to put some on your...
454
00:29:44,073 --> 00:29:45,908
Jiggers, Mom, I'm gettin' sore now.
455
00:29:45,950 --> 00:29:48,160
Well, what do you do if you get sore?
456
00:29:48,202 --> 00:29:49,846
Well, I'll show you,
I'm bigger than you are.
457
00:29:49,870 --> 00:29:51,580
Yes, well...
458
00:29:51,622 --> 00:29:53,892
- Give me the napkin.
- Not look, you'll get your hands all dirty.
459
00:29:53,916 --> 00:29:55,959
Give me that rag.
Give me that rag.
460
00:29:56,002 --> 00:29:58,629
I'm telling you, there's nothing...
461
00:29:58,671 --> 00:29:59,713
Bob, now, stop it.
462
00:29:59,755 --> 00:30:01,858
You're nothing but a big baby.
463
00:30:01,882 --> 00:30:04,152
NOW Will you stop it?
464
00:30:04,176 --> 00:30:05,218
Let go.
465
00:30:07,430 --> 00:30:10,617
Say, Bob, now who do you think I am?
466
00:30:10,641 --> 00:30:12,577
You're not fighting with
that fella down there!
467
00:30:12,601 --> 00:30:14,936
Yeah, I'm working with you, Mom.
468
00:30:19,775 --> 00:30:21,234
Stop it!
469
00:30:21,277 --> 00:30:23,570
Bob, please! Ow!
470
00:31:27,301 --> 00:31:29,219
Go on, get out of here. Beat it.
471
00:31:39,855 --> 00:31:41,356
I can't find her.
472
00:31:41,399 --> 00:31:44,568
Well, now don't worry, she's only gone
to the grocer's or something.
473
00:31:44,610 --> 00:31:47,446
I know, but she's been gone
such a long time.
474
00:31:47,488 --> 00:31:49,698
But here's her pocketbook and gloves.
475
00:31:49,740 --> 00:31:51,843
- She'll be back soon.
- Now, I'm worried.
476
00:31:51,867 --> 00:31:53,345
Well, I'm the one
that ought to be worried
477
00:31:53,369 --> 00:31:56,080
with the dinner getting cold
and everything.
478
00:31:56,122 --> 00:31:58,082
Do you think we oughta call
the police?
479
00:31:58,124 --> 00:32:02,169
Now, Bob, don't be so silly.
480
00:32:02,211 --> 00:32:04,922
She'll be back in less than no time.
481
00:32:08,300 --> 00:32:09,342
Hello?
482
00:32:38,664 --> 00:32:41,583
Katie! Katie!
483
00:32:42,835 --> 00:32:43,877
Yes?
484
00:32:44,753 --> 00:32:46,296
Are you calling me, Annie?
485
00:32:46,338 --> 00:32:48,150
You and Bill better come right up.
486
00:32:48,174 --> 00:32:49,925
The radio's working again.
487
00:32:49,967 --> 00:32:52,886
I'll be up in a minute,
Bill ain't home yet.
488
00:33:20,539 --> 00:33:22,832
Hey, listen,
I thought I told you to beat it.
489
00:33:22,875 --> 00:33:24,001
Now, come on, go home.
490
00:33:24,043 --> 00:33:26,211
I got work to do. Come on, boy.
491
00:33:26,253 --> 00:33:28,630
Nice little dog. Come on.
492
00:33:30,299 --> 00:33:31,735
Come on.
493
00:33:31,759 --> 00:33:34,136
Come on, come on.
494
00:33:35,346 --> 00:33:36,388
Come on.
495
00:33:38,098 --> 00:33:40,118
Come on, boy.
496
00:33:40,142 --> 00:33:41,578
Come on.
497
00:33:41,602 --> 00:33:42,829
Come on, boy.
498
00:33:42,853 --> 00:33:43,895
Come on.
499
00:33:47,316 --> 00:33:48,400
Come on, boy.
500
00:33:48,442 --> 00:33:49,484
Come on, boy.
501
00:33:50,653 --> 00:33:51,820
Come on!
502
00:33:51,862 --> 00:33:53,780
Come on, boy.
503
00:33:59,370 --> 00:34:01,121
Come on, boy.
504
00:34:01,163 --> 00:34:02,205
Come on.
505
00:34:05,376 --> 00:34:07,878
Come on, boy.
506
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,254
Come on.
507
00:34:09,296 --> 00:34:10,690
Come on, boy.
508
00:34:10,714 --> 00:34:11,756
Come on.
509
00:34:21,850 --> 00:34:24,102
Ain't he cute?
510
00:34:28,691 --> 00:34:32,695
I just love dogs.
511
00:34:43,998 --> 00:34:45,040
Come on.
512
00:34:48,127 --> 00:34:49,461
Come on.
513
00:34:49,503 --> 00:34:51,254
Come on, get out of here, get out.
514
00:34:51,297 --> 00:34:53,340
Go on, get out. Beat it!
515
00:34:54,383 --> 00:34:55,425
Stay out.
516
00:35:18,490 --> 00:35:20,051
Now, Bob, don't go near that door.
517
00:35:20,075 --> 00:35:21,659
I'm not going near the door, Mom.
518
00:35:21,702 --> 00:35:23,662
Come on away now.
519
00:35:33,297 --> 00:35:34,774
There's that bark again.
520
00:35:34,798 --> 00:35:37,068
Well, what if a dog does bark?
521
00:35:37,092 --> 00:35:39,279
I didn't know there was a dog in the house.
522
00:35:39,303 --> 00:35:41,823
Don't go out, Bob.
523
00:35:41,847 --> 00:35:43,992
Please, for my sake.
524
00:35:44,016 --> 00:35:46,768
Don't go out until Mary returns.
525
00:35:48,937 --> 00:35:50,332
What are you barking for?
526
00:35:50,356 --> 00:35:52,107
I thought I told you to beat it.
527
00:35:52,191 --> 00:35:54,234
You're going for a walk.
528
00:36:09,708 --> 00:36:11,251
You poor little mutt.
529
00:36:11,293 --> 00:36:12,544
Go on home.
530
00:36:12,586 --> 00:36:14,296
If you've got a home.
531
00:36:14,338 --> 00:36:16,131
I've got no time to play with you now.
532
00:36:16,173 --> 00:36:19,384
Put up your hands,
you're under arrest.
533
00:36:26,266 --> 00:36:27,600
All right, put 'em up.
534
00:36:29,144 --> 00:36:30,979
And keep 'em up.
535
00:36:33,315 --> 00:36:34,983
Frisk him, Bill.
536
00:36:51,166 --> 00:36:53,168
Slip the bracelets on him.
537
00:37:05,013 --> 00:37:06,574
Get back up there.
What are you doing up here?
538
00:37:06,598 --> 00:37:09,077
Go on, go wait upstairs.
539
00:37:09,101 --> 00:37:11,061
Go on, upstairs, everybody.
540
00:37:12,855 --> 00:37:15,023
Come on, keep movin' there, keep movin'.
541
00:37:17,609 --> 00:37:20,194
Wait up there, now go on,
now get back up there.
542
00:37:23,991 --> 00:37:27,703
Well, well, well, Thunderbolt.
543
00:37:29,163 --> 00:37:31,748
Long time no see.
544
00:37:42,801 --> 00:37:45,321
You guys are all alike.
545
00:37:45,345 --> 00:37:49,845
No brains, no brains.
546
00:37:49,933 --> 00:37:52,894
Your dame told us
you were coming here.
547
00:38:00,486 --> 00:38:03,572
A lot of help you were.
548
00:38:03,614 --> 00:38:07,326
To think it took a mutt like you
to send me up.
549
00:38:07,367 --> 00:38:08,618
I didn't know you had a dog.
550
00:38:08,660 --> 00:38:10,161
Is he yours?
551
00:38:10,204 --> 00:38:12,289
He is now.
552
00:38:12,331 --> 00:38:15,083
He cost me plenty.
553
00:38:16,460 --> 00:38:18,128
Ain't he beautiful?
554
00:38:18,170 --> 00:38:19,963
I wouldn't brag about him.
555
00:38:20,005 --> 00:38:21,756
Come on, boys.
556
00:39:00,462 --> 00:39:01,671
Let me go down there.
557
00:39:01,713 --> 00:39:02,714
Let me!
558
00:39:02,756 --> 00:39:04,359
What right have you got
to keep me back?
559
00:39:04,383 --> 00:39:05,425
Just stay back.
560
00:39:07,302 --> 00:39:08,363
Oh, Bob.
561
00:39:08,387 --> 00:39:09,781
What is the matter, Mary,
what happened?
562
00:39:09,805 --> 00:39:12,283
Go into the... go into the house,
go on, children.
563
00:39:12,307 --> 00:39:14,911
I wonder what she's got to do with it.
564
00:39:14,935 --> 00:39:15,977
I don't know.
565
00:39:41,712 --> 00:39:44,131
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
566
00:39:44,172 --> 00:39:46,442
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
567
00:39:46,466 --> 00:39:50,966
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
568
00:39:51,847 --> 00:39:54,349
<i>Brother, you ought to been there</i>
569
00:39:54,391 --> 00:39:56,870
<i>Yes, my Lord</i>
570
00:39:56,894 --> 00:40:01,394
<i>A-sitting in the kingdom
for to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
571
00:40:01,982 --> 00:40:04,335
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
572
00:40:04,359 --> 00:40:06,569
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
573
00:40:06,612 --> 00:40:11,112
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
574
00:40:11,533 --> 00:40:14,702
<i>Sister, you ought to been there</i>
575
00:40:14,745 --> 00:40:18,123
<i>Yes, my Lord</i>
576
00:40:18,165 --> 00:40:22,665
<i>A-sitting in the kingdom
for to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
577
00:40:24,630 --> 00:40:27,483
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
578
00:40:27,507 --> 00:40:30,236
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
579
00:40:30,260 --> 00:40:34,760
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
580
00:40:36,725 --> 00:40:39,579
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
581
00:40:39,603 --> 00:40:42,897
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
582
00:40:42,940 --> 00:40:47,440
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
583
00:41:02,334 --> 00:41:06,834
Say,
this piano will need tuning pretty soon.
584
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,756
Yes.
585
00:41:11,009 --> 00:41:15,509
I wish there were a way of telling
when a human being's out of tune.
586
00:41:22,646 --> 00:41:25,523
Couldn't be more comfortable at the Ritz.
587
00:41:25,565 --> 00:41:26,941
One-Way Street, huh?
588
00:41:26,984 --> 00:41:29,987
Everything coming in
and nothing going out.
589
00:41:44,459 --> 00:41:47,378
Now take care of yourself
and don't catch cold.
590
00:41:47,421 --> 00:41:49,256
Plenty of blankets here.
591
00:41:49,297 --> 00:41:50,775
And look out for pneumonia.
592
00:41:50,799 --> 00:41:53,510
Don't want to give this place
a bad name.
593
00:42:09,234 --> 00:42:13,613
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
594
00:42:13,655 --> 00:42:17,367
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
595
00:42:18,285 --> 00:42:22,785
<i>I want to go to Heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
596
00:42:27,836 --> 00:42:31,172
Hey, Number 3!
597
00:42:32,549 --> 00:42:35,236
Hey you, new guy.
598
00:42:35,260 --> 00:42:37,238
You're Number 3.
599
00:42:37,262 --> 00:42:39,323
You might as well get
me right from the start.
600
00:42:39,347 --> 00:42:42,744
I'm Number 1 anywhere.
601
00:42:42,768 --> 00:42:47,268
Well, Number 3 or... or Number 1
or whatever you are,
602
00:42:47,439 --> 00:42:50,775
do you sing tenor?
603
00:42:50,817 --> 00:42:52,151
Who me?
604
00:42:52,194 --> 00:42:54,362
I kill tenors.
605
00:42:55,864 --> 00:42:58,658
Oh, a tough guy, hey?
606
00:42:58,700 --> 00:43:01,119
Too bad you ain't a tenor.
607
00:43:01,161 --> 00:43:04,414
We had a swell quartet,
608
00:43:04,456 --> 00:43:07,041
but they took our tenor yesterday.
609
00:43:08,168 --> 00:43:10,336
Hey, Number 4.
610
00:43:10,378 --> 00:43:12,838
What does that new bird look like?
611
00:43:14,299 --> 00:43:18,780
Well, ain't much to be said about him.
612
00:43:18,804 --> 00:43:19,888
Pretty big.
613
00:43:21,223 --> 00:43:25,723
Got a mug on him
like they use to scare babies with.
614
00:43:25,977 --> 00:43:27,663
Looks like he cuts his hair with a...
615
00:43:27,687 --> 00:43:30,022
Oh, close your trap.
616
00:43:30,065 --> 00:43:33,544
Say, is that you, Thunderbolt?
617
00:43:33,568 --> 00:43:35,319
That's me.
618
00:43:35,362 --> 00:43:39,862
Reading from left to right, Thunderbolt.
619
00:43:39,991 --> 00:43:41,534
Who wants to know?
620
00:43:41,576 --> 00:43:44,829
Don't tell me that you've forgotten me.
621
00:43:44,871 --> 00:43:47,248
Wait, that sounds like Chuck.
622
00:43:47,290 --> 00:43:49,125
Is that you, kid?
623
00:43:49,167 --> 00:43:52,336
The kid himself, sure thing.
624
00:43:52,379 --> 00:43:56,192
Say, what are you in for, big boy?
625
00:43:56,216 --> 00:43:58,402
Being kind to animals.
626
00:43:58,426 --> 00:44:02,740
I just got too interested in a dog,
that's all.
627
00:44:02,764 --> 00:44:05,076
You know any more jokes?
628
00:44:05,100 --> 00:44:08,103
This place is for killers.
629
00:44:12,858 --> 00:44:14,985
Who is that, a friend of yours, Chuck?
630
00:44:15,026 --> 00:44:18,487
Friend of mine?
I should say not.
631
00:44:18,530 --> 00:44:22,033
How long you gonna stop in our hotel, Jim?
632
00:44:22,075 --> 00:44:23,993
About eight weeks.
633
00:44:24,035 --> 00:44:27,204
Anybody else in here I oughta know?
634
00:44:27,247 --> 00:44:29,374
Holler roll for him, boys.
635
00:44:29,416 --> 00:44:33,916
Joe Ripley, been here so long
I've forgotten what I'm in for.
636
00:44:33,962 --> 00:44:36,506
Kentucky Sampson.
637
00:44:36,548 --> 00:44:39,443
Caught on the 13th job.
638
00:44:39,467 --> 00:44:43,967
I was that good, the jury brought in a verdict
of guilty before they went out to lunch.
639
00:44:44,472 --> 00:44:47,975
I'm next door, Jim, Number 5.
640
00:44:50,103 --> 00:44:52,415
Hey, Pat, give me a light, will ya?
641
00:44:52,439 --> 00:44:54,649
<i>Everybody talkin' 'bout Heaven
ain't goin' there</i>
642
00:44:54,733 --> 00:44:57,152
<i>Heaven, Heaven</i>
643
00:44:57,194 --> 00:45:00,739
<i>Gonna shout all over,
goin' to Heaven</i>
644
00:45:00,780 --> 00:45:03,115
Leave those matches here, will you, Pat?
645
00:45:03,158 --> 00:45:05,034
I would (unintelligible).
646
00:45:05,076 --> 00:45:07,578
Sure, you know it's against the rules.
647
00:45:07,621 --> 00:45:11,291
And furthermore, my name is not Pat.
648
00:45:11,333 --> 00:45:13,376
- What is your name?
- Don't tell him!
649
00:45:13,418 --> 00:45:16,254
Make him guess!
650
00:45:16,296 --> 00:45:18,089
Number 6.
651
00:45:18,131 --> 00:45:21,676
Making my exit today.
652
00:45:21,718 --> 00:45:24,447
<i>I got a song, you got a song</i>
653
00:45:24,471 --> 00:45:27,366
<i>All of God's children got a song</i>
654
00:45:27,390 --> 00:45:30,912
Number 7 is at the piano.
655
00:45:30,936 --> 00:45:34,123
Special dispensation from the warden.
656
00:45:34,147 --> 00:45:37,668
Number 8, (unintelligible) Roberts.
657
00:45:37,692 --> 00:45:40,027
Murder in the first degree.
658
00:45:40,070 --> 00:45:42,113
Brought up by honest parents.
659
00:45:42,155 --> 00:45:45,491
At least, they was honest as far as I know.
660
00:45:45,533 --> 00:45:50,033
Absolutely on the level
until my 12th birthday.
661
00:45:55,335 --> 00:45:59,774
Number 9's still in the hospital, I guess.
662
00:45:59,798 --> 00:46:03,277
Number 10, now broadcasting.
663
00:46:03,301 --> 00:46:06,155
Bad AI Frieberg, that's me.
664
00:46:06,179 --> 00:46:09,909
I guess I don't have to tell you who I am.
665
00:46:09,933 --> 00:46:12,078
Maybe you should.
666
00:46:12,102 --> 00:46:14,288
I never heard of you.
667
00:46:14,312 --> 00:46:15,998
Don't kid me.
668
00:46:16,022 --> 00:46:18,107
Everybody heard about me.
669
00:46:18,149 --> 00:46:21,443
There was whole pages in
the papers when I was caught
670
00:46:21,486 --> 00:46:23,529
Pictures and everything.
671
00:46:23,571 --> 00:46:28,071
The Machine Gun Terror,
that's what they call me.
672
00:46:29,077 --> 00:46:31,954
Oh yes, I remember you now.
673
00:46:31,997 --> 00:46:35,166
The Machine Gun Terror, huh?
674
00:46:35,208 --> 00:46:39,420
Well,
down my way they call you Squirt Gun AI.
675
00:46:39,462 --> 00:46:41,630
I'll squirt gun you, you big stick.
If I ever...
676
00:46:41,673 --> 00:46:46,010
Oh, you big fat head,
I bet you bragged your way into the joint.
677
00:46:48,513 --> 00:46:49,824
Come on, Number 7.
678
00:46:49,848 --> 00:46:51,850
Back to your cell.
679
00:47:13,538 --> 00:47:18,038
As I was saying, I was absolutely
on the level until my 12th birthday,
680
00:47:19,502 --> 00:47:24,002
and then, well,
nothing much happened until I was 37.
681
00:47:25,008 --> 00:47:27,844
Then I blew up over a dame!
682
00:47:29,304 --> 00:47:31,657
You're not the only one.
683
00:47:31,681 --> 00:47:33,242
You said it.
684
00:47:33,266 --> 00:47:36,162
There's a dame behind
every guy in this joint.
685
00:47:36,186 --> 00:47:38,456
That was the trouble with me.
686
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,149
The dames wouldn't let me alone.
687
00:47:41,191 --> 00:47:45,691
I wouldn't be here now if two skirts
hadn't fell for me at the same time.
688
00:47:48,198 --> 00:47:50,450
Yeah, I know.
689
00:47:50,492 --> 00:47:54,992
Fell for you, you mean tripped
trying to get out of your way.
690
00:47:57,707 --> 00:47:59,625
Say, listen.
691
00:47:59,667 --> 00:48:01,669
I've had about enough out of you.
692
00:48:01,711 --> 00:48:05,066
I'd show you something if they let
me out of here a couple of minutes.
693
00:48:05,090 --> 00:48:06,567
You big cluck!
694
00:48:06,591 --> 00:48:09,153
What would you do, big boy?
695
00:48:09,177 --> 00:48:10,821
I'd do plenty.
696
00:48:10,845 --> 00:48:12,847
Don't you worry about that.
697
00:48:12,889 --> 00:48:16,285
I ain't afraid of you or that
phony right hand of yours.
698
00:48:16,309 --> 00:48:19,580
Sure you're not,
699
00:48:19,604 --> 00:48:22,523
with these bars between us.
700
00:48:33,868 --> 00:48:36,161
- Hello, Mr. Moran.
- Hello, Jack.
701
00:48:36,204 --> 00:48:38,372
- How are you?
- Fine.
702
00:48:55,056 --> 00:48:57,618
Well, what can I do for you?
703
00:48:57,642 --> 00:49:00,246
Well, you sent for me, Mr. Corwin.
704
00:49:00,270 --> 00:49:02,289
I did nothing of the sort.
705
00:49:02,313 --> 00:49:04,023
That's funny.
706
00:49:04,065 --> 00:49:08,319
Your secretary phoned the house yesterday
and left word that you wanted to see me.
707
00:49:16,453 --> 00:49:18,037
Miss Randall has gone to lunch.
708
00:49:18,079 --> 00:49:20,164
Is there anything I can do for you, sir?
709
00:49:20,206 --> 00:49:22,374
No, never mind.
710
00:49:22,417 --> 00:49:25,044
I don't see why she
should've called you up.
711
00:49:25,086 --> 00:49:27,671
There's nothing I want to see you about.
712
00:49:30,049 --> 00:49:32,968
Then I'm sorry I bothered you.
713
00:49:46,065 --> 00:49:48,233
Got a match, buddy?
714
00:49:56,451 --> 00:49:58,244
Take it easy, Moran.
715
00:49:58,286 --> 00:50:01,455
Come on there, all of you,
get your hands up.
716
00:50:01,498 --> 00:50:02,624
Keep 'em up!
717
00:50:02,665 --> 00:50:06,043
High up there, face the wall!
718
00:50:06,085 --> 00:50:08,670
Come on, do as I tell you.
719
00:50:23,478 --> 00:50:27,978
Even a bank ain't safe
from these gangsters.
720
00:50:29,526 --> 00:50:32,487
- Come on, come on.
- Hey!
721
00:50:46,167 --> 00:50:48,085

Besides, you haven't got a chance, AI.
761
00:53:10,436 --> 00:53:12,915
That gun's empty.
762
00:53:12,939 --> 00:53:16,317
- How do you know?
- We caught the guy who sold it to you.

away from you and shove it down your throat.
773
00:53:44,512 --> 00:53:48,325
If I could only get close enough
to take a crack at you!
774
00:53:48,349 --> 00:53:52,849
You haven't got the nerve it takes
to crack a slot machine.
775
00:54:02,363 --> 00:54:03,697
Get out of the way, boys!
776
00:54:03,740 --> 00:54:05,158
Clear the deck!
777
00:54:05,199 --> 00:54:07,177
Give me that gun, you rat.
778
00:54:07,201 --> 00:54:09,620
Give it to you?
779
00:54:09,662 --> 00:54:11,872
I'll give it to you all right!
780
00:54:17,128 --> 00:54:21,048
<i>Rock-a—bye baby, on the treetops</i>
781
00:54:21,090 --> 00:54:24,945
<i>When the wind blows, the cradle will rock</i>
782
00:54:24,969 --> 00:54:28,824
<i>When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall</i>
783
00:54:28,848 --> 00:54:33,348
<i>Down will come baby, cradle and all</i>
784
00:54:33,436 --> 00:54:36,415
Here's a souvenir for you, warden.
785
00:54:36,439 --> 00:54:39,567
<i>When the wind blows, the cradle will rock</i>
786
00:54:39,609 --> 00:54:41,211
Get the doctor!
787
00:54:41,235 --> 00:54:42,903
You get back in your cell!
788
00:54:42,945 --> 00:54:44,154
Go on now!
789
00:54:44,197 --> 00:54:48,697
<i>Down will come baby, cradle and all</i>
790
00:55:04,342 --> 00:55:06,069
Thanks, Mike.
791
00:55:06,093 --> 00:55:08,864
My name is not Mike.
792
00:55:08,888 --> 00:55:10,848
I'll guess it.
793
00:55:15,186 --> 00:55:16,914
Just a little accident, doc.
794
00:55:16,938 --> 00:55:19,899
Somebody hit him.
795
00:55:19,941 --> 00:55:22,485
What'd he hit him with, a Sledgehammer?
796
00:55:28,407 --> 00:55:30,117
Looks a like a very dangerous concussion.
797
00:55:30,159 --> 00:55:33,662
It won't be fatal, will it?
798
00:55:33,704 --> 00:55:36,665
Listen, doc,
you've just got to see that this man lives.
799
00:55:36,707 --> 00:55:38,041
Do something!
800
00:55:38,084 --> 00:55:39,835
I've got to execute him tonight.
801
00:55:39,877 --> 00:55:42,504
Take him to the hospital
and put him on the table.
802
00:55:45,216 --> 00:55:47,801
He's certainly had a terrible shock.
803
00:55:49,345 --> 00:55:51,221
Be careful with him, boys.
804
00:55:54,976 --> 00:55:57,162
You shouldn't have hit that man so hard,
Jim.
805
00:55:57,186 --> 00:55:59,665
Don't worry about him, warden.
806
00:55:59,689 --> 00:56:01,399
He'll come out of it in a couple of hours.
807
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,651
I just tapped him.
808
00:56:04,694 --> 00:56:06,779
Well, anyway, I'm much obliged to you,
809
00:56:06,821 --> 00:56:11,033
and if there's any little favor I could
do for you, that is, within reason.
810
00:56:11,075 --> 00:56:14,745
Well, if it isn't asking too much,
811
00:56:14,787 --> 00:56:18,665
I would like to have that
dog of mine in here with me.
812
00:56:18,708 --> 00:56:21,419
Well, I guess we can
fix that up for you all right.
813
00:56:21,460 --> 00:56:25,960
<i>(unintelligible)</i>
814
00:56:26,215 --> 00:56:28,569
I thought I had that quartet broken up.
815
00:56:28,593 --> 00:56:31,989
But I no sooner get rid of one
than they send me another.
816
00:56:32,013 --> 00:56:34,992
You sure pulled me out of an awful mess.
817
00:56:35,016 --> 00:56:36,869
It was a pleasure, warden.
818
00:56:36,893 --> 00:56:40,163
I'd have been in a tough spot
if this thing had broken in the papers.
819
00:56:40,187 --> 00:56:42,541
Think of the scandal!
820
00:56:42,565 --> 00:56:45,276
I'll fix that dog thing up
for you in a day or two.
821
00:56:45,318 --> 00:56:48,029
<i>That brings me back again</i>
822
00:56:48,070 --> 00:56:50,572
<i>Down home where I remain</i>
823
00:56:50,615 --> 00:56:54,410
<i>Where my honey lamb am</i>
824
00:56:54,452 --> 00:56:57,079
<i>I will be right there with bells</i>
825
00:56:57,121 --> 00:56:59,498
<i>When that old conductor yells</i>
826
00:56:59,540 --> 00:57:02,251
<i>All aboard, all aboard</i>
827
00:57:02,293 --> 00:57:05,254
<i>All aboard for Alabam</i>
828
00:57:05,296 --> 00:57:09,796
<i>Alabam, Alabam</i>
829
00:57:16,933 --> 00:57:19,870
Couldn't be more comfortable at the Ritz.
830
00:57:19,894 --> 00:57:21,955
And don't you give me any trouble!
831
00:57:21,979 --> 00:57:24,398
I'm having trouble enough around here.
832
00:57:28,694 --> 00:57:31,530
I'll see you later, Number 4.
833
00:57:50,216 --> 00:57:52,718
Hey, Number 4!
834
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,077
He's calling you, new guy.
835
00:58:00,101 --> 00:58:01,954
You're Number 4.
836
00:58:01,978 --> 00:58:04,498
What are you in for, new guy?
837
00:58:04,522 --> 00:58:07,399
They were robbing a bank
and someone got killed,
838
00:58:07,441 --> 00:58:10,610
and they found a revolver in my pocket.
839
00:58:10,653 --> 00:58:13,197
You didn't have anything to do with it,
did you?
840
00:58:13,239 --> 00:58:14,531
Not a thing.
841
00:58:14,573 --> 00:58:16,241
That's fine.
842
00:58:16,283 --> 00:58:18,702
Now tell us another bedtime story.
843
00:58:21,038 --> 00:58:24,750
Hey, what does he look like, Number 3?
844
00:58:28,963 --> 00:58:33,402
Swing around there, buddy,
so I can get a good look at you.
845
00:58:33,426 --> 00:58:37,096
Don't be bashful, I'm not gonna bite you.
846
00:58:40,099 --> 00:58:44,413
Well, he ain't so bad to look at, I guess.
847
00:58:44,437 --> 00:58:48,458
He's got a face like those fellows
on the collar ads,
848
00:58:48,482 --> 00:58:52,611
and I ain't sure but what
he's got a dimple or two.
849
00:58:52,653 --> 00:58:57,153
Beautiful hair and kind of a mushy mouth.
850
00:58:57,366 --> 00:59:00,994
Looks like one of those lady killers,
if you ask me.
851
00:59:02,496 --> 00:59:06,996
The kind a silly dame is bound to fall for.
852
00:59:09,211 --> 00:59:11,713
What's your name, new guy?
853
00:59:15,217 --> 00:59:17,612
Moran, Bob Moran.
854
00:59:17,636 --> 00:59:19,512
Moran, huh?
855
00:59:19,555 --> 00:59:24,055
Say, ain't you the guy I been reading about
that stole Thunderbolt's girl?
856
00:59:24,852 --> 00:59:28,081
<i>Take me out to the ball game</i>
857
00:59:28,105 --> 00:59:30,982
<i>Take me out with the crowd</i>
858
00:59:31,025 --> 00:59:32,526
<i>Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack</i>
859
00:59:32,610 --> 00:59:37,110
It might interest you to know
the guy across the way from you
860
00:59:37,239 --> 00:59:40,992
is a party by the name of Thunderbolt.
861
00:59:41,035 --> 00:59:43,662
You two guys oughta know each other better.
862
00:59:43,704 --> 00:59:48,204
<i>One, two, three strikes, you're out,
at the old ball game</i>
863
00:59:49,418 --> 00:59:52,003
You put me in here, you framed me!
864
00:59:52,046 --> 00:59:54,465
You know I'm innocent, you're in on it!
865
00:59:54,507 --> 00:59:57,360
I'd like to get my hands on you just once!
866
00:59:57,384 --> 01:00:00,072
Just once, just once!
867
01:00:00,096 --> 01:00:02,741
<i>If I never get back,
let me root, root, root</i>
868
01:00:02,765 --> 01:00:04,618
You've got me wrong, kid.
869
01:00:04,642 --> 01:00:06,536
I've never done anything to you.
870
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:11,060
You're a dirty liar, you framed me,
you got me into this!
871
01:00:11,273 --> 01:00:14,776
I'm not afraid of you, I'm not scared!
872
01:00:14,819 --> 01:00:17,571
I'm not afraid to die!
873
01:00:28,499 --> 01:00:32,377
Over, lay over.
874
01:00:32,419 --> 01:00:35,380
Thatta boy, there.
875
01:00:37,508 --> 01:00:39,402
Say, Thunderbolt!
876
01:00:39,426 --> 01:00:43,865
If it's all the same to you, will you stop
teaching that dog to roll over and play dead?
877
01:00:43,889 --> 01:00:46,099
He's giving me the willies.
878
01:01:22,469 --> 01:01:24,489
Get the handcuff crew.
879
01:01:24,513 --> 01:01:27,576
Hey, up there on the upper deck,
front and center.
880
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:29,435
Yo!
881
01:01:38,736 --> 01:01:42,740
The district attorney wants to see you,
down in my office.
882
01:01:45,618 --> 01:01:46,827
What does he want?
883
01:01:46,869 --> 01:01:48,245
I don't know.
884
01:01:49,997 --> 01:01:53,583
Well,
I don't want him bothering me anymore.
885
01:01:53,626 --> 01:01:56,170
I got enough to worry about as it is.
886
01:01:56,212 --> 01:02:00,712
Well, you haven't got much longer
to worry about anything.
887
01:02:01,425 --> 01:02:04,571
So you've set the date for my kick-off,
have you?
888
01:02:04,595 --> 01:02:06,031
Yup.
889
01:02:06,055 --> 01:02:09,367
I've got two for the
week of January the 7th.
890
01:02:09,391 --> 01:02:11,995
Who's the other one?
891
01:02:12,019 --> 01:02:15,957
Moran goes on Monday
and you're set for Saturday.
892
01:02:15,981 --> 01:02:18,066
That's great.
893
01:02:20,152 --> 01:02:23,238
You know, I was glad that your lawyers
got you that temporary reprieve
894
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,490
so that you could be
around a little while longer.
895
01:02:25,532 --> 01:02:27,784
You don't take it so hard.
896
01:02:27,826 --> 01:02:30,370
But some of these other fellas...
897
01:02:30,412 --> 01:02:33,498
- Come on, get him out of there.
- Hey, warden!
898
01:02:37,419 --> 01:02:41,464
I may be seconds to death,
but you've got no right to make me listen
899
01:02:41,507 --> 01:02:45,362
to that same piece of music
every time that band plays here.
900
01:02:45,386 --> 01:02:47,447
It's cruel and inhuman.
901
01:02:47,471 --> 01:02:51,224
I come here for rest and recreation.
902
01:02:53,185 --> 01:02:55,789
You're just plain ungrateful, that's all.
903
01:02:55,813 --> 01:02:57,666
I'm sorry you ever came here.
904
01:02:57,690 --> 01:03:00,192
So am I!
905
01:03:03,654 --> 01:03:06,239
Come on, bring him out.
906
01:03:49,783 --> 01:03:51,993
Sit down, Jim.
907
01:03:55,748 --> 01:03:57,458
How are you, McKay?
908
01:03:57,499 --> 01:03:59,751
Let's get down to cases, Jim.
909
01:03:59,793 --> 01:04:02,128
You know me and you
know the kind of a man I am.
910
01:04:02,171 --> 01:04:03,255
Yeah.
911
01:04:03,297 --> 01:04:06,151
I don't want to send an
innocent man to his death.
912
01:04:06,175 --> 01:04:10,030
As a matter of fact, I'd fight just as hard
to get an innocent man out of here
913
01:04:10,054 --> 01:04:12,490
as I would fight to put
a guilty man in here.
914
01:04:12,514 --> 01:04:14,075
All right, I'll vote for you.
915
01:04:14,099 --> 01:04:16,578
What are you running for?
916
01:04:16,602 --> 01:04:18,812
This is a serious matter, Jim.
917
01:04:18,854 --> 01:04:20,749
It'll pay you to be serious about it.
918
01:04:20,773 --> 01:04:23,984
I may be helping to snuff out the life
of an innocent man.
919
01:04:24,026 --> 01:04:26,611
You mean you're sorry for railroading me?
920
01:04:26,653 --> 01:04:29,947
Several people have been to see me
about Bob Moran.
921
01:04:29,990 --> 01:04:34,490
He's the man you were going to kill
the night you were caught.
922
01:04:35,621 --> 01:04:37,748
I was going to kill?
923
01:04:37,790 --> 01:04:40,250
You got me mixed up with somebody.
924
01:04:40,292 --> 01:04:43,920
I make it a point never to kill any Morans.
925
01:04:45,756 --> 01:04:47,984
Then why did you go
to his apartment that night?
926
01:04:48,008 --> 01:04:49,819
I'll bite, why did I?
927
01:04:49,843 --> 01:04:52,530
You tell me, you know everything.
928
01:04:52,554 --> 01:04:54,449
That kind of an attitude won't help you...
929
01:04:54,473 --> 01:04:56,826
I'm not looking for help.
930
01:04:56,850 --> 01:04:59,978
When I want your help, I'll let you know.
931
01:05:27,005 --> 01:05:29,007
Do you know this lady?
932
01:05:30,717 --> 01:05:33,863
No, who is she?
933
01:05:33,887 --> 01:05:36,931
Bob Moran is my son.
934
01:05:40,769 --> 01:05:42,979
He's my only child.
935
01:05:46,608 --> 01:05:51,108
I came down here to ask you
to help me to save him.
936
01:05:56,243 --> 01:06:00,080
Well, I guess it's no use, is it?
937
01:06:00,122 --> 01:06:03,667
What's the idea of pulling
this sob stuff on me?
938
01:06:03,709 --> 01:06:05,794
Just a minute.
939
01:06:12,551 --> 01:06:15,738
Oh, Mary.
940
01:06:15,762 --> 01:06:17,221
Oh!
941
01:06:21,310 --> 01:06:23,937
Jim, you're not going
through with this, are you?
942
01:06:23,979 --> 01:06:26,940
What are you talking about?
943
01:06:27,024 --> 01:06:28,316
I know you, Jim.
944
01:06:28,358 --> 01:06:31,903
You're a killer, but you were always fair.
945
01:06:31,945 --> 01:06:33,655
You were never mean.
946
01:06:33,697 --> 01:06:35,699
You were never cruel.
947
01:06:35,741 --> 01:06:38,452
Have I got to listen
to all this junk, warden?
948
01:06:38,494 --> 01:06:40,871
No, not if you don't want to.
949
01:06:40,913 --> 01:06:42,873
You listen to me, Jim.
950
01:06:42,915 --> 01:06:45,792
You had Bob framed for that killing.
951
01:06:45,834 --> 01:06:48,044
You said you would get him and you did.
952
01:06:48,086 --> 01:06:50,254
What's the idea?
953
01:06:50,297 --> 01:06:53,383
What are you trying
to frame up on me here?
954
01:07:00,057 --> 01:07:04,037
I guess that'll be all, warden.
955
01:07:04,061 --> 01:07:05,937
Oh, Mary.
956
01:07:13,946 --> 01:07:17,199
Jim, those two women need that boy.
957
01:07:17,241 --> 01:07:21,741
If there's anything you can say
that will help them, say it now.
958
01:07:24,122 --> 01:07:26,624
Home, James.
959
01:07:39,805 --> 01:07:44,244
I don't see how I can
win him off for you folks.
960
01:07:44,268 --> 01:07:48,164
You mean,
you mean you won't reopen the case?
961
01:07:48,188 --> 01:07:50,416
There's nothing I can do.
962
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:52,608
The only chance we had
was for him to confess.
963
01:07:52,651 --> 01:07:54,277
But it was clear from his attitude.
964
01:07:54,319 --> 01:07:57,989
- Surely you could see...
- Attitudes don't count, I'm sorry.
965
01:07:58,031 --> 01:08:00,450
We need evidence.
966
01:08:28,478 --> 01:08:30,813
All right, lock him up!
967
01:08:58,050 --> 01:09:00,486
I guess you'd like to get close to Moran,
wouldn't you?
968
01:09:00,510 --> 01:09:02,155
Well, you're not going to!
969
01:09:02,179 --> 01:09:03,865
Why not?
970
01:09:03,889 --> 01:09:05,098
I wouldn't hurt him.
971
01:09:05,140 --> 01:09:06,909
Not much, you wouldn't.
972
01:09:06,933 --> 01:09:08,703
I can't quite get your angle.
973
01:09:08,727 --> 01:09:11,080
Aren't you satisfied he's
going to be executed?
974
01:09:11,104 --> 01:09:12,540
What more do you want?
975
01:09:12,564 --> 01:09:15,650
I don't settle my debts that way.
976
01:09:15,692 --> 01:09:18,277
I'm going to get him myself.
977
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:21,197
If you ever get any closer to him
than you are right now,
978
01:09:21,239 --> 01:09:23,866
it'll be over my dead body!
979
01:10:03,031 --> 01:10:07,531
Dearly beloved, we are gathered together
here in sight of God
980
01:10:08,370 --> 01:10:12,870
and in the face of this company to join together
this man and this woman in holy matrimony,
981
01:10:16,253 --> 01:10:20,753
which is an honorable estate
and is not by any to be entered into
982
01:10:20,966 --> 01:10:25,466
unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently.
983
01:10:26,179 --> 01:10:30,679
Into this holy estate, these two
persons present come now to be joined.
984
01:10:31,309 --> 01:10:35,809
If any man can show just cause why
they may not lawfully be joined together,
985
01:10:36,606 --> 01:10:41,106
let him now speak or else hereafter
forever hold his peace.
986
01:10:43,321 --> 01:10:46,907
Wilt thou have this woman
to be thy wedded wife?
987
01:10:46,950 --> 01:10:51,450
Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor
and keep her in sickness and in health,
988
01:10:53,582 --> 01:10:58,082
and forsaking all others, keep thee only
unto her so long as you both shall live?
989
01:11:02,174 --> 01:11:03,651
I Will.
990
01:11:03,675 --> 01:11:06,946
Wilt thou have this man
to be thy wedded husband?
991
01:11:06,970 --> 01:11:11,470
Wilt thou obey him and serve him, love,
honor, and keep him in sickness and in health,
992
01:11:14,102 --> 01:11:18,602
and forsaking all others, keep thee only
unto him so long as you both shall live?
993
01:11:22,611 --> 01:11:24,112
I Will.
994
01:11:24,154 --> 01:11:28,032
Who giveth this woman
to be married to this man?
995
01:11:29,868 --> 01:11:31,619
I do.
996
01:11:34,372 --> 01:11:37,041
Repeat after me.
997
01:11:37,083 --> 01:11:41,583
- With this ring I thee wed.
- With this ring I thee wed.
998
01:11:42,923 --> 01:11:47,423
- And with all my worldly goods, I thee endow.
- And with all my worldly goods, I thee endow.
999
01:11:53,016 --> 01:11:57,516
Those whom God hath joined together,
let no man put asunder.
1000
01:11:58,271 --> 01:12:02,441
I now pronounce you man and wife.
1001
01:12:02,484 --> 01:12:04,235
Oh, my poor children.
1002
01:12:04,277 --> 01:12:06,862
Oh, my poor children!
1003
01:12:06,905 --> 01:12:10,116
I'm sorry but your time is up.
1004
01:12:12,118 --> 01:12:13,744
You'll have to go now, Mrs. Moran.
1005
01:12:13,787 --> 01:12:15,246
Oh, my boy!
1006
01:12:15,288 --> 01:12:17,790
Just a minute, warden.
1007
01:12:19,835 --> 01:12:24,335
Let me be the first
to give them a wedding present.
1008
01:12:24,923 --> 01:12:28,444
Moran doesn't belong in here.
1009
01:12:28,468 --> 01:12:30,947
They were right.
1010
01:12:30,971 --> 01:12:33,765
I had him framed.
1011
01:12:39,729 --> 01:12:42,208
Jim.
1012
01:12:42,232 --> 01:12:44,234
You keep out of this.
1013
01:12:44,276 --> 01:12:48,776
I'm talking to the warden,
and get away from me
1014
01:12:49,239 --> 01:12:52,659
before I change my mind.
1015
01:12:52,701 --> 01:12:55,245
What did he say, dear?
What did he say?
1016
01:12:55,287 --> 01:12:58,581
He means that Bob is going to be free now.
1017
01:13:05,881 --> 01:13:08,174
You're to blame for this!
1018
01:13:08,216 --> 01:13:11,070
I've been in this racket now for 30 years
1019
01:13:11,094 --> 01:13:14,198
and this is the first time
I ever saw anything like this happen.
1020
01:13:14,222 --> 01:13:17,577
Four hours before an execution!
1021
01:13:17,601 --> 01:13:21,539
Before anything else happens, I'm going
to call up the governor and get a stay.
1022
01:13:21,563 --> 01:13:24,524
Maybe you better take my statement first.
1023
01:13:24,566 --> 01:13:26,234
I know what to do!
1024
01:13:26,276 --> 01:13:28,486
I've been running a jail all my life.
1025
01:13:28,528 --> 01:13:32,240
Don't you try to teach me my business.
1026
01:13:32,282 --> 01:13:35,535
Come on, you two,
you've just got to go now.
1027
01:13:35,577 --> 01:13:37,704
You'll have to leave now, madam.
1028
01:13:40,624 --> 01:13:42,292
I knew you'd come through, Jim.
1029
01:13:42,334 --> 01:13:44,252
Oh, leave me alone.
1030
01:13:44,294 --> 01:13:46,379
Oh, thank you.
1031
01:13:46,421 --> 01:13:49,006
Thank you, Mr. Thunderbolt.
1032
01:14:04,564 --> 01:14:06,649
Go on, close it.
1033
01:14:23,166 --> 01:14:25,251
You've done a wonderful thing, Jim.
1034
01:14:27,462 --> 01:14:30,882
Well, I've been here a long time now
1035
01:14:30,924 --> 01:14:35,424
and I'm shuffling off
at the end of the week.
1036
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:40,220
I've had a lot of time
to think things over.
1037
01:14:50,193 --> 01:14:52,195
Better lie down, Bob.
1038
01:14:52,237 --> 01:14:55,114
Try and get some sleep.
1039
01:14:55,156 --> 01:14:56,782
I wanna speak to him.
1040
01:14:56,825 --> 01:14:58,785
I wanna thank him.
1041
01:14:58,827 --> 01:15:02,080
I wanna shake his hand.
1042
01:15:02,122 --> 01:15:06,622
We'll shake hands on Saturday when I go.
1043
01:15:10,171 --> 01:15:12,381
Hey, Thunderbolt!
1044
01:15:12,424 --> 01:15:15,069
What's the idea, you going nuts?
1045
01:15:15,093 --> 01:15:18,012
I thought you didn't like that guy!
1046
01:15:25,937 --> 01:15:28,791
A little music, professor.
1047
01:15:28,815 --> 01:15:33,315
<i>Summertime, summertime</i>
1048
01:15:33,695 --> 01:15:38,195
<i>We will be together in sunny weather</i>
1049
01:15:38,366 --> 01:15:42,703
<i>Down the lane once again</i>
1050
01:15:42,746 --> 01:15:46,875
<i>Sweetheart, you and I!</i>
1051
01:15:46,916 --> 01:15:51,211
<i>Summertime, summertime</i>
1052
01:15:51,254 --> 01:15:55,754
<i>Wedding bells will chime</i>
1053
01:15:56,426 --> 01:15:59,196
<i>All will be sunny</i>
1054
01:15:59,220 --> 01:16:01,513
<i>Peaches, cream, and honey</i>
1055
01:16:01,556 --> 01:16:06,056
<i>In the summertime</i>
1056
01:16:10,690 --> 01:16:12,983
Aw, now don't argue with me.
1057
01:16:13,026 --> 01:16:17,526
I just left Thunderbolt playing checkers
with Moran and I know what I'm talking about.
1058
01:16:18,239 --> 01:16:20,407
He had to get Moran reprieved.
1059
01:16:20,450 --> 01:16:24,162
He's always had his mind set on
bumping off this cluck all by his self
1060
01:16:24,204 --> 01:16:27,999
and this is the only way he could do it.
1061
01:16:28,041 --> 01:16:31,252
You guys give me a pain.
1062
01:16:31,294 --> 01:16:33,713
No imagination.
1063
01:16:36,091 --> 01:16:40,591
He's gonna wait until they opens up the
door to take him for the last walk, see?
1064
01:16:42,472 --> 01:16:46,869
Then he's gonna go over to say goodbye
to the boyfriend.
1065
01:16:46,893 --> 01:16:48,871
Now, get me.
1066
01:16:48,895 --> 01:16:51,791
I'm Thunderbolt and you're the kid, see?
1067
01:16:51,815 --> 01:16:55,544
They opens up the cell door
and starts me for the walk.
1068
01:16:55,568 --> 01:17:00,068
Then I goes over to say goodbye
to the boyfriend.
1069
01:17:01,116 --> 01:17:03,952
I sticks out the left hand.
1070
01:17:03,993 --> 01:17:05,285
See, boys?
1071
01:17:05,328 --> 01:17:09,540
This is the minute
that Thunderbolt's been waiting for.
1072
01:17:09,582 --> 01:17:13,961
Well, "80 long, pal," I says.
1073
01:17:14,003 --> 01:17:18,503
And then socko right through the bar.
1074
01:17:32,272 --> 01:17:33,690
All right.
1075
01:17:36,359 --> 01:17:39,195
Hey, wait a minute.
1076
01:17:39,237 --> 01:17:42,156
This invitation is for
last week's execution.
1077
01:17:42,198 --> 01:17:46,698
What do you think we do here,
give out rain checks?
1078
01:17:46,870 --> 01:17:48,162
Out.
1079
01:17:51,624 --> 01:17:53,208
What a heart.
1080
01:17:53,251 --> 01:17:55,294
Good for a hundred years.
1081
01:17:57,380 --> 01:17:59,632
It oughta be.
1082
01:17:59,674 --> 01:18:02,259
It's only been jilted once.
1083
01:18:04,345 --> 01:18:07,848
She's Mrs. Moran now.
1084
01:18:22,989 --> 01:18:25,783
Hey, gimme a light, will you, Timothy?
1085
01:18:33,333 --> 01:18:34,500
What's the matter, Moran?
1086
01:18:34,542 --> 01:18:39,042
Aren't you happy
now that you're getting out of here?
1087
01:18:39,088 --> 01:18:40,798
I'm not worried about myself.
1088
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:43,652
I'm getting out in a couple of weeks
the warden said.
1089
01:18:43,676 --> 01:18:45,905
I'm worried about you.
1090
01:18:45,929 --> 01:18:48,640
Don't you worry about me.
1091
01:18:53,144 --> 01:18:56,457
Hey, Timothy, these clothes don't fit me.
1092
01:18:56,481 --> 01:18:58,083
Take a squint at them.
1093
01:18:58,107 --> 01:19:00,609
How do you think I'm going to look?
1094
01:19:00,652 --> 01:19:03,154
What do you care how you're going to look?
1095
01:19:03,196 --> 01:19:06,032
You're not going anywhere.
1096
01:19:06,074 --> 01:19:09,452
And my name is not Timothy!
1097
01:19:09,494 --> 01:19:11,078
Well, don't get sore about it.
1098
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:13,872
I'll guess it before I'm through.
1099
01:19:19,087 --> 01:19:22,882
Come on, boy, we got
a couple of minutes more to play.
1100
01:20:14,017 --> 01:20:18,517
Whereas... give me your attention, Jim.
1101
01:20:18,563 --> 01:20:21,065
Whereas at a trial time on the...
1102
01:20:23,568 --> 01:20:27,280
You don't need to read
that death warrant to me, warden.
1103
01:20:27,322 --> 01:20:30,450
I know it backwards.
1104
01:20:30,491 --> 01:20:32,261
- I beg your pardon...
- Don't you bother me now
1105
01:20:32,285 --> 01:20:34,662
when I've got my mind
full of a million details.
1106
01:20:34,704 --> 01:20:36,414
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir, no, sir!
1107
01:20:36,456 --> 01:20:38,207
Yes, sir.
1108
01:20:40,501 --> 01:20:42,669
I knew I'd forgotten something.
1109
01:20:42,712 --> 01:20:43,921
What do you want for lunch?
1110
01:20:43,963 --> 01:20:45,441
You can have anything you want, you know.
1111
01:20:45,465 --> 01:20:47,276
All we've got to do is to bring it in.
1112
01:20:47,300 --> 01:20:49,802
Lunch, what time is it?
1113
01:20:49,844 --> 01:20:51,238
Three minutes after eleven.
1114
01:20:51,262 --> 01:20:53,032
What time is the big show?
1115
01:20:53,056 --> 01:20:55,159
11:20.
1116
01:20:55,183 --> 01:20:59,496
So you're going to give
me 17 minutes to eat it, huh?
1117
01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:03,208
Well, I'm not going to bolt
my food down in a hurry.
1118
01:21:03,232 --> 01:21:07,732
I'd have indigestion all afternoon.
1119
01:21:07,820 --> 01:21:09,780
I'll tell you what I would like to have,
warden.
1120
01:21:09,822 --> 01:21:12,282
Anything within reason, Jim.
1121
01:21:12,325 --> 01:21:14,994
- I'd like to have a good shot of...
- Nothing doing.
1122
01:21:15,036 --> 01:21:18,456
The only stuff we've got is in the hospital
and you've got to be sick to get it.
1123
01:21:18,498 --> 01:21:19,582
Well, I'm sick.
1124
01:21:19,624 --> 01:21:21,667
Who's got a better right to be?
1125
01:21:21,709 --> 01:21:23,794
You are sick, aren't you?
1126
01:21:23,836 --> 01:21:26,046
On the level, you don't feel good, do you?
1127
01:21:26,089 --> 01:21:27,882
I feel terrible.
1128
01:21:27,924 --> 01:21:30,527
I feel like I'm going to die.
1129
01:21:30,551 --> 01:21:34,198
Hey, guys, Thunderbolt
says he don't feel so good!
1130
01:21:34,222 --> 01:21:36,724
He feels like he's gonna die!
1131
01:21:42,772 --> 01:21:46,275
Well, I'll see what I can do about
getting you a little something.
1132
01:21:51,656 --> 01:21:53,157
How do you feel, Jim?
1133
01:21:53,199 --> 01:21:54,325
Same as ever.
1134
01:21:54,367 --> 01:21:56,452
The same as ever?
1135
01:21:56,494 --> 01:21:57,953
Yup.
1136
01:21:57,995 --> 01:22:00,497
You and me can't do any business.
1137
01:22:00,540 --> 01:22:04,669
I've lived all my life
without what you stand for
1138
01:22:04,710 --> 01:22:08,213
and I guess I'll have to die the same way.
1139
01:22:08,256 --> 01:22:12,756
You don't mind my sticking around
in case you change your mind?
1140
01:22:13,136 --> 01:22:15,888
Make yourself right at home.
1141
01:22:15,930 --> 01:22:18,033
Hey, Thunderbolt.
1142
01:22:18,057 --> 01:22:22,371
What do you want us to sing
when you're going to your dance?
1143
01:22:22,395 --> 01:22:26,625
I don't know, what have you got?
1144
01:22:26,649 --> 01:22:29,360
Well, how about Brokenhearted?
1145
01:22:29,402 --> 01:22:31,987
That oughta fit you like a glove.
1146
01:22:32,029 --> 01:22:36,158
<i>There she is, my old gal</i>
1147
01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:40,700
<i>There he is, my old pal</i>
1148
01:22:40,913 --> 01:22:45,413
<i>And here am I, brokenhearted</i>
1149
01:22:48,129 --> 01:22:50,840
How do you like that?
1150
01:22:50,882 --> 01:22:53,050
That's not so bad.
1151
01:22:55,219 --> 01:22:57,763
How do you like it, Moran?
1152
01:23:10,276 --> 01:23:12,236
Here you are.
1153
01:23:24,081 --> 01:23:26,208
You better take this, warden.
1154
01:23:26,250 --> 01:23:28,835
You need it worse than I do.
1155
01:23:36,886 --> 01:23:39,323
I certainly did need it.
1156
01:23:39,347 --> 01:23:41,783
You ought to be glad
you haven't got my job.
1157
01:23:41,807 --> 01:23:44,601
You have no idea what I go through.
1158
01:23:57,949 --> 01:23:59,617
Don't you worry, boy.
1159
01:23:59,659 --> 01:24:02,536
It's me that's going, not you.
1160
01:24:02,578 --> 01:24:05,122
- Everything all set?
- Yup!
1161
01:24:12,797 --> 01:24:14,673
Let's go.
1162
01:24:24,684 --> 01:24:26,703
So long, Shorty.
1163
01:24:26,727 --> 01:24:27,829
See you soon.
1164
01:24:27,853 --> 01:24:28,997
Thanks, Thunderbolt.
1165
01:24:29,021 --> 01:24:30,374
Send us a postcard.
1166
01:24:30,398 --> 01:24:34,151
Sure, "X marks my room,
wish you were here."
1167
01:24:34,193 --> 01:24:36,820
Jim, aren't you gonna say goodbye to me?
1168
01:24:36,862 --> 01:24:39,155
Me not say goodbye to you?
1169
01:24:39,198 --> 01:24:41,575
I'll be back in a minute, Moran.
1170
01:24:41,617 --> 01:24:44,286
I'm saving you for the last.
1171
01:24:44,328 --> 01:24:48,165
<i>There she is, my old gal</i>
1172
01:24:48,207 --> 01:24:51,835
<i>There he is, my old pal</i>
1173
01:24:51,877 --> 01:24:56,377
<i>And here am I, brokenhearted</i>
1174
01:25:00,303 --> 01:25:04,616
<i>Mine in May, his in June</i>
1175
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:08,495
<i>She forgot mighty soon</i>
1176
01:25:08,519 --> 01:25:12,291
<i>And here am I, right here</i>
1177
01:25:12,315 --> 01:25:16,068
<i>Brokenhearted</i>
1178
01:25:16,152 --> 01:25:20,614
<i>The last time that we said goodbye</i>
1179
01:25:20,656 --> 01:25:24,534
<i>I knew that she was through</i>
1180
01:25:24,577 --> 01:25:29,077
<i>It's bad enough that I lost her</i>
1181
01:25:29,206 --> 01:25:33,706
<i>I had to lose him too</i>
1182
01:25:33,961 --> 01:25:38,423
<i>There they go, feel their joy</i>
1183
01:25:38,466 --> 01:25:42,779
<i>Happy girl, lucky boy</i>
1184
01:25:42,803 --> 01:25:47,303
<i>And here am I</i>
1185
01:25:47,642 --> 01:25:52,142
<i>Brokenhearted</i>
1186
01:25:59,528 --> 01:26:02,531
So long, pal.
1187
01:26:02,573 --> 01:26:06,243
I wish I could help you now, Jim,
the way you helped me.
1188
01:26:13,876 --> 01:26:18,005
Funny, sizing us two up,
1189
01:26:18,047 --> 01:26:22,547
nobody would ever think
you were the better man.
1190
01:26:23,427 --> 01:26:25,572
You're the better man, Jim.
1191
01:26:25,596 --> 01:26:28,116
You've taught me a let
these last couple of days.
1192
01:26:28,140 --> 01:26:32,640
You'll be seeing Ritzie soon,
won't you, Moran?
1193
01:26:36,315 --> 01:26:40,815
She's a great little girl, isn't she?
1194
01:26:41,153 --> 01:26:45,653
You were pretty lucky
to take her away from me, weren't you?
1195
01:26:46,617 --> 01:26:49,745
I didn't mean to tell you, Jim,
but I guess I will.
1196
01:26:49,787 --> 01:26:51,997
Somehow I think you ought to know.
1197
01:26:52,039 --> 01:26:53,832
I oughta know what?
1198
01:26:53,874 --> 01:26:56,585
I didn't take her away from you, Jim.
1199
01:26:56,627 --> 01:26:59,504
It was you that took her away from me.
1200
01:27:04,510 --> 01:27:07,155
I took her away from you?
1201
01:27:07,179 --> 01:27:11,679
We've always been sweethearts,
since we were kids, and then she met you.
1202
01:27:12,601 --> 01:27:16,498
I didn't amount to much
and she thought you were wonderful.
1203
01:27:16,522 --> 01:27:21,022
She never told me anything about that.
1204
01:27:23,195 --> 01:27:26,198
I guess I was nothing to brag about.
1205
01:27:32,163 --> 01:27:36,663
I always did have a peculiar habit of
taking things that didn't belong to me.
1206
01:27:40,004 --> 01:27:42,589
That's why I'm here.
1207
01:27:53,225 --> 01:27:57,725
You're kinda crazy about her, aren't you?
1208
01:27:57,855 --> 01:28:01,042
I love her, Jim.
1209
01:28:01,066 --> 01:28:05,566
Well, I guess I do too.
1210
01:28:05,696 --> 01:28:08,365
I still do.
1211
01:28:20,169 --> 01:28:21,795
Good luck, kid.
1212
01:28:21,837 --> 01:28:24,089
Good luck to you both.
1213
01:28:24,131 --> 01:28:27,134
Give her my love.
1214
01:28:27,176 --> 01:28:30,304
And take care of her, whatever you do.
1215
01:28:54,912 --> 01:28:59,412
Well, chaplain,
I might as well give you a break too.
1216
01:28:59,875 --> 01:29:01,918
Come on.
1217
01:29:27,736 --> 01:29:30,029
So long, old timer.
1218
01:29:30,072 --> 01:29:33,241
And don't take any wooden biscuits.
1219
01:29:39,039 --> 01:29:41,124
Hey, Dinty.
1220
01:29:41,166 --> 01:29:45,420
Come here, will ya,
and give me one more light?
1221
01:30:01,770 --> 01:30:04,791
Here, Dinty, I guess I'll quit smoking.
1222
01:30:04,815 --> 01:30:08,193
Thanks, and my name isn't Dinty.
1223
01:30:08,235 --> 01:30:12,322
And before you go, I want you to know
that my name is Aloysius
1224
01:30:12,364 --> 01:30:14,324
and you didn't guess it.
1225
01:30:16,076 --> 01:30:18,995
- Your name is what?
- Aloysius.
1226
01:30:22,458 --> 01:30:24,751
What did you say your name was?
1227
01:30:24,793 --> 01:30:27,754
Aloysius and you didn't guess it.
1228
01:30:31,342 --> 01:30:33,987
Who would've guessed it?
1229
01:30:34,011 --> 01:30:35,804
<i>No...</i>
1230
01:30:46,857 --> 01:30:48,984
He said...

Thunderbolt Jim Lang (George Bancroft), wanted on robbery and murder charges, ventures out with his girl, "Ritzy" (Fay Wray), to a Harlem nightclub, where she informs him that she is going straight. During a raid on the club, Thunderbolt escapes. His gang shadows Ritzy and reports that she is living with Mrs. Moran (Eugenie Besserer), whose son, Bob (Richard Arlen), a bank clerk, is in love with Ritzy. Fearing for Bob's safety, Ritzy engineers a police trap for Thunderbolt; he escapes but is later captured, tried, and sentenced to be executed at Sing Sing. From the death house, he successfully plots to frame Bob in a bank robbery and killing. Bob is placed in the facing cell, and guards frustrate Thunderbolt's attempts to get to his rival. When Ritzy marries Bob in the death house, Thunderbolt confesses his part in Bob's conviction. He plots to kill the boy on the night of his execution, but instead at the last minute his hand falls on Bob's shoulder in a gesture of friendship.

1
00:01:56,866 --> 00:01:58,051
Eleven o'clock.
2
00:01:58,075 --> 00:02:00,035
I didn't know it was so late.
3
00:02:06,584 --> 00:02:07,751
Goodnight.
4
00:02:07,793 --> 00:02:09,503
Goodnight, dear.
5
00:02:19,180 --> 00:02:21,015
Oh, Bob!
6
00:02:24,185 --> 00:02:26,103
You've got my gloves.
7
00:02:27,688 --> 00:02:30,899
That's funny, there's a pair of gloves
in my pocket.
8
00:02:30,941 --> 00:02:32,776
Are these yours?
9
00:02:33,778 --> 00:02:36,030
Let me put them on for you.
10
00:02:41,410 --> 00:02:43,829
Bob, I really must go now.
11
00:02:47,208 --> 00:02:48,709
Goodnight.
12
00:02:48,751 --> 00:02:53,251
And, honey, you will be on time
tomorrow night, won't you?
13
00:02:53,297 --> 00:02:55,859
You were late tonight
and I was worried.
14
00:02:55,883 --> 00:02:58,510
I'll try awfully hard, Bob.
15
00:03:16,862 --> 00:03:19,865
Just drive down the street a bit,
I'll tell you where to go later.
16
00:03:25,162 --> 00:03:26,830
I'll tell you where to go right now.
17
00:03:26,872 --> 00:03:28,832
Police headquarters.
18
00:03:47,727 --> 00:03:49,770
Go on, get up there.
19
00:03:56,026 --> 00:03:58,570
Well, well, well, if it isn't Ritzie.
20
00:03:58,612 --> 00:04:01,281
This is indeed an honor and a pleasure.
21
00:04:03,868 --> 00:04:06,370
It takes so little to give some
people pleasure, doesn't it?
22
00:04:06,412 --> 00:04:08,247
Where's Thunderbolt?
23
00:04:08,289 --> 00:04:10,541
- Who?
- Don't try any of that stuff on me.
24
00:04:10,583 --> 00:04:12,293
You know who I mean.
25
00:04:12,334 --> 00:04:13,974
In case your memory
has suddenly left you,
26
00:04:14,003 --> 00:04:17,149
let me remind you of Jim Lang,
sometimes called Jim Carson,
27
00:04:17,173 --> 00:04:20,277
sometimes called... well, sometimes
called anything in the world
28
00:04:20,301 --> 00:04:22,678
but always known as Thunderbolt.
29
00:04:26,557 --> 00:04:29,619
I suppose that you've never even heard
of the Hellinger case.
30
00:04:29,643 --> 00:04:32,228
Or the million-dollar
St. Louis Terminal job.
31
00:04:32,313 --> 00:04:36,813
Or the time that he held up
the Iroquois Bank single-handed.
32
00:04:36,984 --> 00:04:40,404
He's wanted right now by nine states
for bank robbery,
33
00:04:40,446 --> 00:04:44,946
and there's two more that'd like to
talk to him on a little matter of murder.
34
00:04:45,242 --> 00:04:47,953
Now maybe you can remember who he is.
35
00:04:49,371 --> 00:04:52,165
Quit your stalling. Where is he?
36
00:04:52,208 --> 00:04:54,418
I don't know what you're talking about.
37
00:04:54,460 --> 00:04:58,297
Don't you try to Ritz me, Ritzie.
38
00:05:02,384 --> 00:05:04,196
Where did you see him last?
39
00:05:04,220 --> 00:05:05,655
I don't remember.
40
00:05:05,679 --> 00:05:07,449
Oh, you won't talk, eh?
41
00:05:07,473 --> 00:05:09,534
Well, maybe you can tell me this.
42
00:05:09,558 --> 00:05:13,538
Who was the other half of the bench picnic
in the park tonight?
43
00:05:13,562 --> 00:05:15,730
Bench picnic?
44
00:05:15,773 --> 00:05:18,525
I was in the park tonight
but I was alone.
45
00:05:18,567 --> 00:05:20,735
Your men must be seeing double, Inspector.
46
00:05:20,778 --> 00:05:24,114
Oh, my men were seeing double,
were they?
47
00:05:26,575 --> 00:05:29,828
Well, here's the other half
of what they saw.
48
00:05:38,671 --> 00:05:40,190
I've had enough of this stalling.
49
00:05:40,214 --> 00:05:43,235
You two have been meeting night after night
for months and I know it.
50
00:05:43,259 --> 00:05:44,986
Well, supposing we have been meeting.
51
00:05:45,010 --> 00:05:46,655
Being in love is no crime yet.
52
00:05:46,679 --> 00:05:48,490
Maybe not,
but being in love with her
53
00:05:48,514 --> 00:05:51,642
is apt to cause you a lot of trouble,
young fellow.
54
00:05:53,561 --> 00:05:55,437
I wonder if you know
that she is the girlfriend
55
00:05:55,479 --> 00:05:58,190
of the most notorious criminal
this state has ever known.
56
00:05:58,232 --> 00:05:59,918
She's been a member of his gang
for two years,
57
00:05:59,942 --> 00:06:01,360
ever since she met him.
58
00:06:01,402 --> 00:06:02,820
I don't know
a woman in this city
59
00:06:02,862 --> 00:06:05,281
that knows more about him
and his affairs than she does.
60
00:06:05,322 --> 00:06:07,824
I know all about that.
That's all over now.
61
00:06:07,867 --> 00:06:09,761
- Where's Thunderbolt?
- I don't know and I don't care.
62
00:06:09,785 --> 00:06:12,496
- What do you do for a living?
- I work at a bank.
63
00:06:13,622 --> 00:06:17,917
How would you like to lose your job
and maybe work in a penitentiary?
64
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,062
That's where you're headed...
65
00:06:19,086 --> 00:06:21,129
You let him alone.
66
00:06:22,256 --> 00:06:23,483
He's on the level.
67
00:06:23,507 --> 00:06:25,443
He's got nothing to do with that crowd.
68
00:06:25,467 --> 00:06:28,613
Listen, Ritzie, you're a smart girl
and you can save yourself a lot of trouble
69
00:06:28,637 --> 00:06:30,740
by giving us a line on Thunderbolt.
70
00:06:30,764 --> 00:06:33,201
You know we can make it pretty hot for you.
71
00:06:33,225 --> 00:06:35,537
You've got nothing on me
and you know it.
72
00:06:35,561 --> 00:06:38,355
If you had,
you'd have locked me up long ago.
73
00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:40,858
I'm through with that mob for good.
74
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:45,400
Whatever mistakes I've made,
I've paid for in my own way.
75
00:06:47,865 --> 00:06:48,907
What do you say, Chief?
76
00:06:48,949 --> 00:06:51,034
Shall I take 'em down and book 'em?
77
00:06:51,076 --> 00:06:52,577
Never mind.
78
00:06:52,620 --> 00:06:55,456
You can go now.
79
00:06:55,497 --> 00:06:57,540
Let her go.
80
00:07:08,427 --> 00:07:10,429
Goodnight, Inspector.
81
00:07:11,555 --> 00:07:13,223
And thank you.
82
00:07:19,939 --> 00:07:22,358
Don't let that dame out of your sight.
83
00:07:22,399 --> 00:07:26,361
Thunderbolt will go through an iron wall
to see her.
84
00:07:26,403 --> 00:07:29,114
And we want to be there
when they meet.
85
00:07:29,156 --> 00:07:31,616
There's always the chance
of nabbing him
86
00:07:31,659 --> 00:07:34,244
as long as she's out.
87
00:08:05,234 --> 00:08:08,320
Good evening, Mr. Th-Th-Thunderbolt.
88
00:08:08,362 --> 00:08:09,946
I got your phone call.
89
00:08:09,989 --> 00:08:13,409
- The the best in the house.
- All right, Oscar.
90
00:08:16,745 --> 00:08:18,788
Check your hat, sir?
91
00:08:19,957 --> 00:08:21,458
No thanks.
92
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:24,377
I never know
when I'm going to leave in a hurry.
93
00:08:25,587 --> 00:08:28,506
I always like to have my hat be with me.
94
00:08:30,801 --> 00:08:34,280
Say, boy, am I seeing right?
95
00:08:34,304 --> 00:08:35,907
Is that Thunderbolt?
96
00:08:35,931 --> 00:08:38,159
Does that mean
there's gonna be any trouble?
97
00:08:38,183 --> 00:08:39,244
Maybe not.
98
00:08:39,268 --> 00:08:41,770
I'm keeping one foot (unintelligible).
99
00:09:12,885 --> 00:09:16,406
Say, (unintelligible) Thunderbolt?
100
00:09:16,430 --> 00:09:20,930
He hits you with that big right soupbone
and just ruins you,
101
00:09:21,060 --> 00:09:23,520
all in one little smackeroo.
102
00:09:23,604 --> 00:09:25,522
That's why they call him Thunderbolt.
103
00:09:25,606 --> 00:09:27,858
Say, one little piece of lead
104
00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:31,612
and the littlest guy'
leave even
as big... The biggest man dead.
105
00:09:31,653 --> 00:09:34,656
Say, why don't nobody take a shot at him?
106
00:09:34,698 --> 00:09:37,409
Well,
the cemetery's full of them that missed.
107
00:09:38,494 --> 00:09:40,662
Let's have some real service, Oscar.
108
00:09:40,704 --> 00:09:43,415
And your r-r-regular order, sir?
109
00:09:43,457 --> 00:09:44,499
Right.
110
00:09:44,541 --> 00:09:46,459
What are you going to have, baby?
111
00:09:46,502 --> 00:09:47,628
Nothing.
112
00:09:48,754 --> 00:09:52,192
That means she'll have a chicken sandwich
and a glass of milk.
113
00:09:52,216 --> 00:09:54,468
Y-y-yes, boss, yes.
114
00:09:57,721 --> 00:09:59,908
What's the matter, Ritzie,
what are you sore about?
115
00:09:59,932 --> 00:10:01,409
I'm not sore.
116
00:10:01,433 --> 00:10:03,810
What good would it do if I were?
117
00:10:07,272 --> 00:10:08,356
What are you looking at?
118
00:10:08,398 --> 00:10:12,777
I'm looking at nothing,
and it's wearing a tuxedo.
119
00:10:14,863 --> 00:10:15,989
Who are you talking to?
120
00:10:16,031 --> 00:10:18,259
Stay right with him, baby.
Don't let him get away with anything.
121
00:10:18,283 --> 00:10:20,410
You might be lightning
to a lot of people,
122
00:10:20,452 --> 00:10:23,580
but you're just a wet match to me.
123
00:10:37,094 --> 00:10:39,280
Say, you big bozo.
124
00:10:39,304 --> 00:10:41,533
That ain't no way to treat a lady.
125
00:10:41,557 --> 00:10:42,599
No?
126
00:10:44,226 --> 00:10:45,268
Give me that gun.
127
00:10:49,398 --> 00:10:52,943
So you don't like the way I treat a lady,
huh?
128
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,699
I ain't gonna wait
for that ham sandwich another minute.
129
00:10:58,740 --> 00:11:00,199
I ain't hungry. Is you?
130
00:11:00,242 --> 00:11:01,886
Oh boy, somebody better call an ambulance.
131
00:11:01,910 --> 00:11:04,203
You wait till I get home,
I'm gonna tell my husband.
132
00:11:04,246 --> 00:11:07,290
L-I-lady, why don't you stop?
133
00:11:07,332 --> 00:11:09,769
- There's gonna be trouble in here in a minute.
- I'm all wet.
134
00:11:09,793 --> 00:11:12,587
I told you he was gon' hit her.
135
00:11:12,629 --> 00:11:16,132
- Take it easy, huh, be careful.
- Are they gonna shoot again?
136
00:11:19,219 --> 00:11:21,239
- Snapper.
- Wait a minute.
137
00:11:21,263 --> 00:11:22,740
Get back there.
138
00:11:22,764 --> 00:11:25,285
Where do you guys think you're going?
139
00:11:25,309 --> 00:11:26,578
Watch 'em, Jimmy.
140
00:11:26,602 --> 00:11:28,204
I wanna go home.
141
00:11:28,228 --> 00:11:29,270
Sit down.
142
00:11:29,313 --> 00:11:32,733
Hey, the two of you men,
143
00:11:32,774 --> 00:11:34,692
clean up this mess out here.
144
00:11:34,735 --> 00:11:36,278
(unintelligible).
145
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,696
Everything all right, chief?
146
00:11:37,738 --> 00:11:38,905
Tough crowd here tonight.
147
00:11:38,947 --> 00:11:40,633
Yeah, how do you feel tonight, Snapper?
148
00:11:40,657 --> 00:11:42,367
Oh, fine, chief.
149
00:11:42,409 --> 00:11:43,827
Hello there, Ritzie.
150
00:11:43,869 --> 00:11:45,036
Have some nuts.
151
00:11:45,078 --> 00:11:46,245
Great for the system.
152
00:11:46,288 --> 00:11:48,415
Fills up the body.
153
00:11:48,457 --> 00:11:50,709
How about your mind?
154
00:11:55,172 --> 00:11:57,066
What do we do with her, Snapper?
155
00:11:57,090 --> 00:12:01,362
Oh, drag that cluck outta here, will ya?
156
00:12:01,386 --> 00:12:04,490
A couple of yous guys.
157
00:12:04,514 --> 00:12:06,265
Let me help you, Snapper.
158
00:12:07,142 --> 00:12:09,329
Hey, lay off that, will ya?
159
00:12:09,353 --> 00:12:11,897
That's my trigger finger.
160
00:12:11,939 --> 00:12:14,191
What a fine night this is.
161
00:12:15,234 --> 00:12:18,237
Oh, uh, listen up, boy.
162
00:12:18,278 --> 00:12:21,197
Oh, uh, oh, uh, get out of here.
163
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,282
Music, boys.
164
00:12:29,706 --> 00:12:33,251
I suppose you thought it was funny
starting that ruckus.
165
00:12:34,127 --> 00:12:37,023
Strikes me you could stand
a little cooling off.
166
00:12:37,047 --> 00:12:39,067
How would you like
a dose of it yourself?
167
00:12:39,091 --> 00:12:40,151
Go right ahead.
168
00:12:40,175 --> 00:12:42,760
I wouldn't put it past you for a minute.
169
00:12:49,393 --> 00:12:53,438
<i>When night is creepin'
and I should be sleepin' in bed</i>
170
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,608
What are you trying to do, baby,
get me sore?
171
00:12:56,650 --> 00:13:00,713
<i>If you were peepin'
you'd find that I'm weepin' instead</i>
172
00:13:00,737 --> 00:13:03,573
Jim, I'm going to quit.
173
00:13:03,615 --> 00:13:05,241
What, again?
174
00:13:05,284 --> 00:13:06,493
I mean it this time.
175
00:13:06,535 --> 00:13:08,245
I've been trying to tell you.
176
00:13:08,287 --> 00:13:10,539
I'm not going on with it anymore.
177
00:13:10,580 --> 00:13:13,082
- <i>I'm</i> through.
<i>- Night after night</i>
178
00:13:13,125 --> 00:13:14,543
Through with what?
179
00:13:14,584 --> 00:13:17,897
What are you talking about?
180
00:13:17,921 --> 00:13:19,399
All this.
181
00:13:19,423 --> 00:13:21,401
These people.
182
00:13:21,425 --> 00:13:22,467
You.
183
00:13:25,887 --> 00:13:29,075
<i>No one can fill
that vacant chair</i>
184
00:13:29,099 --> 00:13:31,035
We're going to have this out right now.
185
00:13:31,059 --> 00:13:32,870
<i>When you're not there</i>
186
00:13:32,894 --> 00:13:37,394
<i>No need to knock,
the door is open for you</i>
187
00:13:38,608 --> 00:13:41,944
<i>-Please, daddy</i>
-We'll <i>find</i> a place where <i>we can</i> talk.
188
00:13:43,947 --> 00:13:44,989
Come on.
189
00:13:47,075 --> 00:13:51,162
<i>Daddy, do you have to roam so very long?</i>
190
00:13:51,204 --> 00:13:52,872
Come on.
191
00:13:52,914 --> 00:13:57,414
<i>There's lots of other new sheiks
who would like to be sheikin'</i>
192
00:13:57,961 --> 00:13:59,837
Come on, baby.
193
00:14:00,881 --> 00:14:05,381
<i>Daddy, daddy, daddy,
won't you please come home?</i>
194
00:14:08,597 --> 00:14:11,743
<i>Night after night, I'm or yin'</i>
195
00:14:11,767 --> 00:14:15,079
<i>Daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
196
00:14:15,103 --> 00:14:18,022
<i>Daddy,
won't you please come home?</i>
197
00:14:18,065 --> 00:14:22,069
<i>I'm so lonesome</i>
198
00:14:22,110 --> 00:14:25,196
<i>No one can fill
that vacant chair</i>
199
00:14:25,238 --> 00:14:28,532
<i>Home isn't home
if you're not there</i>
200
00:14:28,575 --> 00:14:33,075
<i>No need to knock,
the door is open for you</i>
201
00:14:33,955 --> 00:14:35,373
<i>Sweet daddy</i>
202
00:14:35,415 --> 00:14:38,626
<i>Even the clock keeps tickin'</i>
203
00:14:38,668 --> 00:14:41,981
<i>Daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
204
00:14:42,005 --> 00:14:46,505
<i>Daddy, do you have to roam so very long?</i>
205
00:14:47,552 --> 00:14:52,052
<i>There's lots of other new sheiks
who would like to be sheikin'</i>
206
00:14:52,140 --> 00:14:55,453
<i>Haven't slipped yet,
but I'm liable to weaken</i>
207
00:14:55,477 --> 00:14:59,977
<i>Daddy, daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
208
00:15:13,787 --> 00:15:15,747
I don't get you at all.
209
00:15:15,789 --> 00:15:19,584
You tell me you want to step out tonight,
go somewhere that's lively.
210
00:15:19,626 --> 00:15:22,045
I risk my neck
by walking into this joint,
211
00:15:22,087 --> 00:15:25,191
with all the cops
in the world on my trail.
212
00:15:25,215 --> 00:15:26,984
There's a 10-to-1 shot
there's a couple of dicks
213
00:15:27,008 --> 00:15:30,613
shadowing you right now to get to me.
214
00:15:30,637 --> 00:15:32,657
It's all right with me.
215
00:15:32,681 --> 00:15:35,326
I can take care of myself.
216
00:15:35,350 --> 00:15:38,895
But I do all this,
I take this big chance,
217
00:15:38,937 --> 00:15:40,563
and your idea
of the way to behave
218
00:15:40,605 --> 00:15:44,877
is to start that foolishness
all over again.
219
00:15:44,901 --> 00:15:46,569
What's the big idea?
220
00:15:46,611 --> 00:15:48,070
It's just this, Jim.
221
00:15:48,113 --> 00:15:50,448
I want to be decent again.
222
00:15:50,490 --> 00:15:54,160
Well, babe, you've always been
the most decent kid in the racket.
223
00:15:58,039 --> 00:16:01,917
You know, I used to get a big kick
out of being your girl,
224
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,896
out of knowing that
you'd take a chance on your life
225
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,213
just to see me
for a few minutes.
226
00:16:18,894 --> 00:16:22,105
You're the swellest girl
I ever knew.
227
00:16:25,317 --> 00:16:28,862
You wouldn't want to keep me
if I didn't want to stay, would you, Jim?
228
00:16:28,904 --> 00:16:30,947
Wouldn't I?
229
00:16:32,199 --> 00:16:36,661
I'd keep you with me
if the whole world didn't want you to stay
230
00:16:36,703 --> 00:16:38,663
and make them like it.
231
00:16:38,705 --> 00:16:40,665
That's just it.
232
00:16:40,707 --> 00:16:43,751
I don't want people to respect me
because they're afraid
233
00:16:43,793 --> 00:16:45,753
you'll crush their heads
if they don't.
234
00:16:45,795 --> 00:16:48,733
I don't want the police trailing me
wherever I go.
235
00:16:48,757 --> 00:16:51,968
I don't want people pointing at me
and whispering about me.
236
00:16:52,010 --> 00:16:55,281
All this Ritzie talk, boiled down,
means that you...
237
00:16:55,305 --> 00:16:57,366
You're ashamed of me, huh?
238
00:16:57,390 --> 00:17:00,976
No, just ashamed of myself.
239
00:17:01,019 --> 00:17:03,646
I want to know people
who are different from you and me,
240
00:17:03,688 --> 00:17:06,315
people who lead decent, normal lives.
241
00:17:06,358 --> 00:17:09,194
People who get up in the morning
to go to work.
242
00:17:09,236 --> 00:17:10,779
Regular people.
243
00:17:10,820 --> 00:17:12,905
Oh, don't be a fool.
244
00:17:12,948 --> 00:17:14,824
I don't care what you call me, Jim.
245
00:17:14,866 --> 00:17:17,326
That's the way I'm going
to live from now on.
246
00:17:17,369 --> 00:17:18,995
I'm going to quit.
247
00:17:20,372 --> 00:17:22,874
Well, let me tell you something, Ritzie.
248
00:17:22,916 --> 00:17:25,376
Maybe I'd like to go straight too.
249
00:17:25,418 --> 00:17:27,461
I haven't thought about it much.
250
00:17:27,504 --> 00:17:29,649
Maybe I don't know how.
251
00:17:29,673 --> 00:17:33,468
But as long as I'm going my way,
you're going with me.
252
00:17:35,262 --> 00:17:38,115
You're all I've got
that means anything to me.
253
00:17:38,139 --> 00:17:39,492
Do you think I would...
254
00:17:39,516 --> 00:17:42,352
Oh, come on, let's have a good time.
255
00:17:44,312 --> 00:17:46,897
You'll feel better
in the morning.
256
00:17:57,033 --> 00:17:59,702
Wait a minute.
257
00:17:59,744 --> 00:18:03,330
You haven't fallen for another guy,
have you?
258
00:18:03,373 --> 00:18:05,792
- Who is he?
- There is no other guy, Jim.
259
00:18:05,834 --> 00:18:07,627
It's just that we're through.
260
00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:09,837
You and me will never be through, Ritzie.
261
00:18:09,879 --> 00:18:11,566
Get that straight.
262
00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:15,528
You're my girl and nobody on earth
can take you away from me.
263
00:18:15,552 --> 00:18:19,448
Do you think you could hold me
if I didn't love you anymore?
264
00:18:19,472 --> 00:18:20,992
That don't worry me.
265
00:18:21,016 --> 00:18:24,787
It's the guy that tries to take you away
from me that's got the worrying to do.
266
00:18:24,811 --> 00:18:29,311
Oh, I know, it would be easy enough for you
to get your gang to do anything.
267
00:18:29,482 --> 00:18:33,777
That's one job
I wouldn't let anybody do for me.
268
00:18:36,740 --> 00:18:39,200
Come on, baby.
269
00:18:39,242 --> 00:18:41,327
Come on.
270
00:18:52,213 --> 00:18:55,651
I'd get that guy by myself
271
00:18:55,675 --> 00:19:00,175
if it was the last thing
in this world I ever did.
272
00:19:15,904 --> 00:19:17,196
Uh-oh.
273
00:19:17,238 --> 00:19:21,242
W-w—w-what... what's that n-n-now?
274
00:19:21,284 --> 00:19:24,245
I told you this was gonna happen.
275
00:19:24,287 --> 00:19:27,999
Hey, get off my foot.
276
00:19:28,041 --> 00:19:29,459
Find that light switch.
277
00:19:29,501 --> 00:19:32,003
Don't get excited, folks,
it's only a little raid.
278
00:19:32,045 --> 00:19:34,857
Everybody who can stand to pitch
will kindly keep their seats.
279
00:19:34,881 --> 00:19:38,259
Stand still there or I'll shoot.
280
00:19:40,929 --> 00:19:42,281
Don't move.
281
00:19:42,305 --> 00:19:43,699
I ain't movin', boss.
282
00:19:43,723 --> 00:19:45,975
I've been pushed.
283
00:20:09,833 --> 00:20:11,668
Where is Thunderbolt?
Come clean.
284
00:20:11,710 --> 00:20:13,002
Where is he?
285
00:20:14,587 --> 00:20:16,380
I don't know.
286
00:20:19,008 --> 00:20:21,969
And I don't ever want to know.
287
00:20:45,410 --> 00:20:49,789
I want you men to get this
and get it straight.
288
00:20:49,831 --> 00:20:52,166
It's been two months since Thunderbolt
got away from you
289
00:20:52,208 --> 00:20:54,960
and he's got to be found.
290
00:20:55,003 --> 00:20:58,983
Thunderbolt's girl's been living up
at Young Moran's house for weeks
291
00:20:59,007 --> 00:21:01,277
with the kid and his mother.
292
00:21:01,301 --> 00:21:05,801
Don't tell me that that kid doesn't know
something about Thunderbolt.
293
00:21:07,015 --> 00:21:08,826
Put the works on him.
294
00:21:08,850 --> 00:21:10,578
He'll talk
295
00:21:10,602 --> 00:21:15,102
when it's a question of talking
or being out of a job.
296
00:21:27,035 --> 00:21:28,578
Mr. Corwin wants to see you, Bob.
297
00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:30,622
Okay, Jimmy.
298
00:21:44,427 --> 00:21:46,489
You sent for me, Mr. Corwin?
299
00:21:46,513 --> 00:21:47,555
Yes.
300
00:21:48,723 --> 00:21:49,765
Sit down.
301
00:22:03,279 --> 00:22:04,280
Hello, Mom.
302
00:22:05,448 --> 00:22:07,825
- You're late, Bob.
- Yeah, I stayed overtime.
303
00:22:07,867 --> 00:22:09,827
- Hello, dear.
- Hello.
304
00:22:09,869 --> 00:22:12,162
I'm so glad you're here, Bob,
we were worried.
305
00:22:12,205 --> 00:22:14,790
Oh, I'm sorry, Mary,
but there's nothing to worry about.
306
00:22:14,833 --> 00:22:16,477
Everything was all right at the bank,
wasn't it?
307
00:22:16,501 --> 00:22:18,669
Everything was perfect.
308
00:22:21,506 --> 00:22:23,776
Yes, sir, everything was perfect.
309
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,737
- Until about 4:00.
- What happened about 4:00?
310
00:22:26,761 --> 00:22:27,863
Nothing much.
311
00:22:27,887 --> 00:22:29,740
I just got fired.
312
00:22:29,764 --> 00:22:32,284
That's why I stayed late
to turn over my accounts.
313
00:22:32,308 --> 00:22:33,452
You're joking?
314
00:22:33,476 --> 00:22:35,621
I'm not joking, it's the truth.
315
00:22:35,645 --> 00:22:37,438
What was it, Bob?
What was the matter?
316
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,901
Nothing, Mr. Corwin and I just couldn't
agree on how a bank should be run.
317
00:22:43,069 --> 00:22:44,779
It was on my account, wasn't it?
318
00:22:44,821 --> 00:22:46,298
Don't be silly.
319
00:22:46,322 --> 00:22:48,991
Tell me, Bob, I've got to know.
320
00:22:49,033 --> 00:22:51,201
They just told me
I'd have to make a choice.
321
00:22:51,244 --> 00:22:52,847
Either I'd have to give you up or else...
322
00:22:52,871 --> 00:22:53,955
Or else what?
323
00:22:53,997 --> 00:22:56,082
Just or else, that's all.
324
00:22:56,124 --> 00:22:58,376
Well, I'm glad you quit.
325
00:22:58,418 --> 00:23:02,213
I never could understand
why you wanted to stay at that bank anyhow.
326
00:23:02,255 --> 00:23:04,275
I don't think there was much chance
for you there.
327
00:23:04,299 --> 00:23:07,152
Wherever you go,
they'll always be finding out about me.
328
00:23:07,176 --> 00:23:09,446
Let 'em,
there's nothing to find out about you.
329
00:23:09,470 --> 00:23:12,283
You know, I always thought
you were too good for that place.
330
00:23:12,307 --> 00:23:14,767
They didn't appreciate you.
331
00:23:17,395 --> 00:23:19,438
Oh, don't start crying, dear.
332
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,333
You'll get your nose red.
333
00:23:21,357 --> 00:23:23,734
A thing like this doesn't bother us,
does it, Mom?
334
00:23:23,776 --> 00:23:25,778
We've looked for jobs before.
335
00:23:25,820 --> 00:23:27,298
I should never have come here at all.
336
00:23:27,322 --> 00:23:28,489
I knew it wasn't right.
337
00:23:28,531 --> 00:23:30,533
What wasn't right?
338
00:23:30,575 --> 00:23:34,120
Coming to live here
with you and your mother.
339
00:23:34,162 --> 00:23:36,247
You've been wonderful to me.
340
00:23:36,289 --> 00:23:38,666
And this is the way
I'm repaying you,
341
00:23:38,708 --> 00:23:39,792
getting you discharged.
342
00:23:39,834 --> 00:23:42,419
You're working yourself up
over nothing, Mary.
343
00:23:42,462 --> 00:23:44,815
What if I do lose a job now and then?
344
00:23:44,839 --> 00:23:46,567
What difference does it make?
345
00:23:46,591 --> 00:23:50,070
Come on, let's all go out
and have a good time tonight.
346
00:23:50,094 --> 00:23:52,698
Oh, Bob, your mother's
fixed a lovely supper for us.
347
00:23:52,722 --> 00:23:54,283
The lovely supper will keep.
348
00:23:54,307 --> 00:23:55,367
Bob is right.
349
00:23:55,391 --> 00:23:57,870
What you two need is to go out
and enjoy yourselves.
350
00:23:57,894 --> 00:24:00,289
Yeah,
we can't let a chance like this go by.
351
00:24:00,313 --> 00:24:02,690
I may not get fired again
for a long time.
352
00:24:02,732 --> 00:24:04,483
I've got some mending to do.
353
00:24:04,525 --> 00:24:06,318
You children go along by yourselves.
354
00:24:06,361 --> 00:24:09,030
Come now.
Come and get all dressed up.
355
00:24:09,072 --> 00:24:10,698
There you are.
356
00:24:16,371 --> 00:24:19,832
(unintelligible).
357
00:24:25,755 --> 00:24:27,900
Did someone knock, Bob?
358
00:24:27,924 --> 00:24:30,986
I thought I heard a knock.
359
00:24:31,010 --> 00:24:32,886
There's no one out here.
360
00:24:34,681 --> 00:24:37,117
Come on, get your hat, Bob.
361
00:24:37,141 --> 00:24:38,202
Run along, dear.
362
00:24:38,226 --> 00:24:40,353
- Have a good time.
- Goodnight.
363
00:24:41,396 --> 00:24:43,689
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight, Mom.
364
00:25:15,596 --> 00:25:18,283
Now, don't feel that way.
365
00:25:18,307 --> 00:25:20,475
Nothing important has happened.
366
00:25:20,518 --> 00:25:23,747
The thing that gets me
is that I was expecting a promotion,
367
00:25:23,771 --> 00:25:25,689
and you know what that meant.
368
00:25:25,732 --> 00:25:26,983
I'm not gonna wait any longer.
369
00:25:27,025 --> 00:25:29,861
As soon as I get a job again,
we're going to be married.
370
00:25:29,902 --> 00:25:32,112
There's no sense in waiting.
371
00:25:34,449 --> 00:25:36,409
Well, if it ain't the long lost child.
372
00:25:36,451 --> 00:25:37,469
Hello there, Ritzie.
373
00:25:37,493 --> 00:25:40,162
Well, it was a long time finding ya.
374
00:25:40,204 --> 00:25:41,622
I think you've made a mistake.
375
00:25:41,664 --> 00:25:44,208
You made a mistake, baby,
thinking you could keep out of sight.
376
00:25:44,250 --> 00:25:47,253
- Come on, Bob.
- So this is the old hideaway, is it?
377
00:25:47,295 --> 00:25:50,506
Well, I guess you know Thunderbolt's
been looking high and low for ya, don't ya?
378
00:25:50,548 --> 00:25:51,984
Why didn't you let him know
where you were?
379
00:25:52,008 --> 00:25:53,318
Drop him a postcard or something.
380
00:25:53,342 --> 00:25:55,112
I'm not interested in Thunderbolt.
381
00:25:55,136 --> 00:25:57,698
You're not, huh?
382
00:25:57,722 --> 00:26:02,222
And this is the Kewpie that made a sucker
out of Thunderbolt, huh?
383
00:26:02,643 --> 00:26:05,914
Well, I wouldn't be in your shoes
for all the rice in China.
384
00:26:05,938 --> 00:26:07,397
Stay on the level, Ritzie.
385
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,817
What have you been doing
with yourself all this time?
386
00:26:09,859 --> 00:26:11,277
Take your hand off her.
387
00:26:11,319 --> 00:26:12,504
Don't shove me.
388
00:26:12,528 --> 00:26:14,071
I'll shove ya.
389
00:26:14,113 --> 00:26:15,507
Well, I'll teach you to shove me.
390
00:26:15,531 --> 00:26:17,616
Look out, Bob, he's got a gun!
391
00:26:23,164 --> 00:26:24,641
Come on, Bob, let's go back upstairs.
392
00:26:24,665 --> 00:26:26,875
I'd like to take another sock at that guy.
393
00:26:26,918 --> 00:26:28,252
You've hurt your hand too.
394
00:26:28,294 --> 00:26:29,336
Come on, Bob.
395
00:26:31,714 --> 00:26:35,069
Did you fall downstairs?
396
00:26:35,093 --> 00:26:39,114
- Why, what happened?
- He fell downstairs, the poor man.
397
00:26:39,138 --> 00:26:42,201
I'd put a piece of fresh beef steak
on that eye if I were you.
398
00:26:42,225 --> 00:26:43,786
Well, you ain't me.
399
00:26:43,810 --> 00:26:46,705
My sister always puts a key
down the back of her neck
400
00:26:46,729 --> 00:26:48,480
to stop a nosebleed.
401
00:26:48,523 --> 00:26:51,484
I'll slip something down the back of
your neck if you don't leave me alone.
402
00:26:51,526 --> 00:26:54,195
Where's the nearest telephone
around here?
403
00:26:54,237 --> 00:26:56,781
Well, here,
don't you dare go near there.
404
00:26:56,823 --> 00:27:00,076
Oh, I just hate to see anybody hurt.
405
00:27:01,786 --> 00:27:04,079
Oh, now a squalling baby.
406
00:27:06,165 --> 00:27:08,041
Why, what's the matter?
407
00:27:08,084 --> 00:27:11,128
Nothing.
She talked me out of going out.
408
00:27:11,170 --> 00:27:13,463
You've hurt your hand.
What's happened?
409
00:27:13,506 --> 00:27:15,925
I guess I knocked it
against something.
410
00:27:18,803 --> 00:27:21,597
What's happened, Mary?
411
00:27:21,639 --> 00:27:24,118
We ran into a man I used to know.
412
00:27:24,142 --> 00:27:27,246
He tried to get fresh
and Bob had to hit him.
413
00:27:27,270 --> 00:27:29,814
Oh, I... I see, I...
414
00:27:31,149 --> 00:27:33,151
Well, we'll put something on it.
415
00:27:33,192 --> 00:27:34,419
- Don't bother, Mom.
- No, come on,
416
00:27:34,443 --> 00:27:36,088
we'll wash it out
and put some iodine on it.
417
00:27:36,112 --> 00:27:37,422
I don't want any of that stuff on it.
418
00:27:37,446 --> 00:27:40,240
Took a week for it to
wear off the last time.
419
00:27:41,826 --> 00:27:43,702
I don't want anything on it.
420
00:27:45,037 --> 00:27:46,913
That water could be hot.
421
00:27:48,207 --> 00:27:50,250
Mom, you treat me like I was a baby.
422
00:27:50,293 --> 00:27:51,919
That's all you act like
when you're hurt.
423
00:27:51,961 --> 00:27:53,045
Well, I ain't hurt.
424
00:27:53,087 --> 00:27:55,274
You got me mixed up
with the other guy.
425
00:27:55,298 --> 00:27:56,692
I'll bet you never touched
the other guy.
426
00:27:56,716 --> 00:27:59,820
Yeah? Well, no mother'
be able
to fix him up for a long time.
427
00:27:59,844 --> 00:28:03,013
That's what you say.
I'd like to see him to believe that.
428
00:28:07,143 --> 00:28:09,645
Answer the telephone, Mary.
429
00:28:18,446 --> 00:28:21,907
Mary, answer the telephone.
430
00:28:27,496 --> 00:28:28,538
Hello?
431
00:28:33,711 --> 00:28:36,088
How's every little thing?
432
00:28:40,676 --> 00:28:43,261
I'll be coming up your way.
433
00:28:47,767 --> 00:28:50,370
I can't, eh?
434
00:28:50,394 --> 00:28:52,771
I'll come right down.
435
00:28:52,813 --> 00:28:54,773
What for?
436
00:28:54,815 --> 00:28:57,317
It won't make any difference
to your boyfriend.
437
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,945
You might as well say goodbye
to him now.
438
00:28:59,987 --> 00:29:03,365
I just called up
to give you fair warning.
439
00:29:10,831 --> 00:29:12,976
- Let's put this iodine on it.
- I don't want any iodine.
440
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,752
Now hold still, hold still.
441
00:29:16,545 --> 00:29:18,296
Ouch. Ow!
442
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,277
Now look what you've done.
443
00:29:22,301 --> 00:29:23,820
All over my clean floor.
444
00:29:23,844 --> 00:29:25,679
I'll clean it up.
445
00:29:27,139 --> 00:29:28,325
Not my towels!
446
00:29:28,349 --> 00:29:29,993
Ouch.
447
00:29:30,017 --> 00:29:32,829
Do nothing but buy towels for this place.
448
00:29:32,853 --> 00:29:34,414
Look out there now.
449
00:29:34,438 --> 00:29:37,816
You know I keep
the floor cloths under here.
450
00:29:37,858 --> 00:29:39,067
Look at that iodine.
451
00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:40,486
You never can get that up.
452
00:29:40,528 --> 00:29:42,714
Well, I told you not to bring it out,
didn't I?
453
00:29:42,738 --> 00:29:44,030
I'd like to put some on your...
454
00:29:44,073 --> 00:29:45,908
Jiggers, Mom, I'm gettin' sore now.
455
00:29:45,950 --> 00:29:48,160
Well, what do you do if you get sore?
456
00:29:48,202 --> 00:29:49,846
Well, I'll show you,
I'm bigger than you are.
457
00:29:49,870 --> 00:29:51,580
Yes, well...
458
00:29:51,622 --> 00:29:53,892
- Give me the napkin.
- Not look, you'll get your hands all dirty.
459
00:29:53,916 --> 00:29:55,959
Give me that rag.
Give me that rag.
460
00:29:56,002 --> 00:29:58,629
I'm telling you, there's nothing...
461
00:29:58,671 --> 00:29:59,713
Bob, now, stop it.
462
00:29:59,755 --> 00:30:01,858
You're nothing but a big baby.
463
00:30:01,882 --> 00:30:04,152
NOW Will you stop it?
464
00:30:04,176 --> 00:30:05,218
Let go.
465
00:30:07,430 --> 00:30:10,617
Say, Bob, now who do you think I am?
466
00:30:10,641 --> 00:30:12,577
You're not fighting with
that fella down there!
467
00:30:12,601 --> 00:30:14,936
Yeah, I'm working with you, Mom.
468
00:30:19,775 --> 00:30:21,234
Stop it!
469
00:30:21,277 --> 00:30:23,570
Bob, please! Ow!
470
00:31:27,301 --> 00:31:29,219
Go on, get out of here. Beat it.
471
00:31:39,855 --> 00:31:41,356
I can't find her.
472
00:31:41,399 --> 00:31:44,568
Well, now don't worry, she's only gone
to the grocer's or something.
473
00:31:44,610 --> 00:31:47,446
I know, but she's been gone
such a long time.
474
00:31:47,488 --> 00:31:49,698
But here's her pocketbook and gloves.
475
00:31:49,740 --> 00:31:51,843
- She'll be back soon.
- Now, I'm worried.
476
00:31:51,867 --> 00:31:53,345
Well, I'm the one
that ought to be worried
477
00:31:53,369 --> 00:31:56,080
with the dinner getting cold
and everything.
478
00:31:56,122 --> 00:31:58,082
Do you think we oughta call
the police?
479
00:31:58,124 --> 00:32:02,169
Now, Bob, don't be so silly.
480
00:32:02,211 --> 00:32:04,922
She'll be back in less than no time.
481
00:32:08,300 --> 00:32:09,342
Hello?
482
00:32:38,664 --> 00:32:41,583
Katie! Katie!
483
00:32:42,835 --> 00:32:43,877
Yes?
484
00:32:44,753 --> 00:32:46,296
Are you calling me, Annie?
485
00:32:46,338 --> 00:32:48,150
You and Bill better come right up.
486
00:32:48,174 --> 00:32:49,925
The radio's working again.
487
00:32:49,967 --> 00:32:52,886
I'll be up in a minute,
Bill ain't home yet.
488
00:33:20,539 --> 00:33:22,832
Hey, listen,
I thought I told you to beat it.
489
00:33:22,875 --> 00:33:24,001
Now, come on, go home.
490
00:33:24,043 --> 00:33:26,211
I got work to do. Come on, boy.
491
00:33:26,253 --> 00:33:28,630
Nice little dog. Come on.
492
00:33:30,299 --> 00:33:31,735
Come on.
493
00:33:31,759 --> 00:33:34,136
Come on, come on.
494
00:33:35,346 --> 00:33:36,388
Come on.
495
00:33:38,098 --> 00:33:40,118
Come on, boy.
496
00:33:40,142 --> 00:33:41,578
Come on.
497
00:33:41,602 --> 00:33:42,829
Come on, boy.
498
00:33:42,853 --> 00:33:43,895
Come on.
499
00:33:47,316 --> 00:33:48,400
Come on, boy.
500
00:33:48,442 --> 00:33:49,484
Come on, boy.
501
00:33:50,653 --> 00:33:51,820
Come on!
502
00:33:51,862 --> 00:33:53,780
Come on, boy.
503
00:33:59,370 --> 00:34:01,121
Come on, boy.
504
00:34:01,163 --> 00:34:02,205
Come on.
505
00:34:05,376 --> 00:34:07,878
Come on, boy.
506
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,254
Come on.
507
00:34:09,296 --> 00:34:10,690
Come on, boy.
508
00:34:10,714 --> 00:34:11,756
Come on.
509
00:34:21,850 --> 00:34:24,102
Ain't he cute?
510
00:34:28,691 --> 00:34:32,695
I just love dogs.
511
00:34:43,998 --> 00:34:45,040
Come on.
512
00:34:48,127 --> 00:34:49,461
Come on.
513
00:34:49,503 --> 00:34:51,254
Come on, get out of here, get out.
514
00:34:51,297 --> 00:34:53,340
Go on, get out. Beat it!
515
00:34:54,383 --> 00:34:55,425
Stay out.
516
00:35:18,490 --> 00:35:20,051
Now, Bob, don't go near that door.
517
00:35:20,075 --> 00:35:21,659
I'm not going near the door, Mom.
518
00:35:21,702 --> 00:35:23,662
Come on away now.
519
00:35:33,297 --> 00:35:34,774
There's that bark again.
520
00:35:34,798 --> 00:35:37,068
Well, what if a dog does bark?
521
00:35:37,092 --> 00:35:39,279
I didn't know there was a dog in the house.
522
00:35:39,303 --> 00:35:41,823
Don't go out, Bob.
523
00:35:41,847 --> 00:35:43,992
Please, for my sake.
524
00:35:44,016 --> 00:35:46,768
Don't go out until Mary returns.
525
00:35:48,937 --> 00:35:50,332
What are you barking for?
526
00:35:50,356 --> 00:35:52,107
I thought I told you to beat it.
527
00:35:52,191 --> 00:35:54,234
You're going for a walk.
528
00:36:09,708 --> 00:36:11,251
You poor little mutt.
529
00:36:11,293 --> 00:36:12,544
Go on home.
530
00:36:12,586 --> 00:36:14,296
If you've got a home.
531
00:36:14,338 --> 00:36:16,131
I've got no time to play with you now.
532
00:36:16,173 --> 00:36:19,384
Put up your hands,
you're under arrest.
533
00:36:26,266 --> 00:36:27,600
All right, put 'em up.
534
00:36:29,144 --> 00:36:30,979
And keep 'em up.
535
00:36:33,315 --> 00:36:34,983
Frisk him, Bill.
536
00:36:51,166 --> 00:36:53,168
Slip the bracelets on him.
537
00:37:05,013 --> 00:37:06,574
Get back up there.
What are you doing up here?
538
00:37:06,598 --> 00:37:09,077
Go on, go wait upstairs.
539
00:37:09,101 --> 00:37:11,061
Go on, upstairs, everybody.
540
00:37:12,855 --> 00:37:15,023
Come on, keep movin' there, keep movin'.
541
00:37:17,609 --> 00:37:20,194
Wait up there, now go on,
now get back up there.
542
00:37:23,991 --> 00:37:27,703
Well, well, well, Thunderbolt.
543
00:37:29,163 --> 00:37:31,748
Long time no see.
544
00:37:42,801 --> 00:37:45,321
You guys are all alike.
545
00:37:45,345 --> 00:37:49,845
No brains, no brains.
546
00:37:49,933 --> 00:37:52,894
Your dame told us
you were coming here.
547
00:38:00,486 --> 00:38:03,572
A lot of help you were.
548
00:38:03,614 --> 00:38:07,326
To think it took a mutt like you
to send me up.
549
00:38:07,367 --> 00:38:08,618
I didn't know you had a dog.
550
00:38:08,660 --> 00:38:10,161
Is he yours?
551
00:38:10,204 --> 00:38:12,289
He is now.
552
00:38:12,331 --> 00:38:15,083
He cost me plenty.
553
00:38:16,460 --> 00:38:18,128
Ain't he beautiful?
554
00:38:18,170 --> 00:38:19,963
I wouldn't brag about him.
555
00:38:20,005 --> 00:38:21,756
Come on, boys.
556
00:39:00,462 --> 00:39:01,671
Let me go down there.
557
00:39:01,713 --> 00:39:02,714
Let me!
558
00:39:02,756 --> 00:39:04,359
What right have you got
to keep me back?
559
00:39:04,383 --> 00:39:05,425
Just stay back.
560
00:39:07,302 --> 00:39:08,363
Oh, Bob.
561
00:39:08,387 --> 00:39:09,781
What is the matter, Mary,
what happened?
562
00:39:09,805 --> 00:39:12,283
Go into the... go into the house,
go on, children.
563
00:39:12,307 --> 00:39:14,911
I wonder what she's got to do with it.
564
00:39:14,935 --> 00:39:15,977
I don't know.
565
00:39:41,712 --> 00:39:44,131
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
566
00:39:44,172 --> 00:39:46,442
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
567
00:39:46,466 --> 00:39:50,966
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
568
00:39:51,847 --> 00:39:54,349
<i>Brother, you ought to been there</i>
569
00:39:54,391 --> 00:39:56,870
<i>Yes, my Lord</i>
570
00:39:56,894 --> 00:40:01,394
<i>A-sitting in the kingdom
for to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
571
00:40:01,982 --> 00:40:04,335
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
572
00:40:04,359 --> 00:40:06,569
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
573
00:40:06,612 --> 00:40:11,112
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
574
00:40:11,533 --> 00:40:14,702
<i>Sister, you ought to been there</i>
575
00:40:14,745 --> 00:40:18,123
<i>Yes, my Lord</i>
576
00:40:18,165 --> 00:40:22,665
<i>A-sitting in the kingdom
for to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
577
00:40:24,630 --> 00:40:27,483
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
578
00:40:27,507 --> 00:40:30,236
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
579
00:40:30,260 --> 00:40:34,760
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
580
00:40:36,725 --> 00:40:39,579
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
581
00:40:39,603 --> 00:40:42,897
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
582
00:40:42,940 --> 00:40:47,440
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
583
00:41:02,334 --> 00:41:06,834
Say,
this piano will need tuning pretty soon.
584
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,756
Yes.
585
00:41:11,009 --> 00:41:15,509
I wish there were a way of telling
when a human being's out of tune.
586
00:41:22,646 --> 00:41:25,523
Couldn't be more comfortable at the Ritz.
587
00:41:25,565 --> 00:41:26,941
One-Way Street, huh?
588
00:41:26,984 --> 00:41:29,987
Everything coming in
and nothing going out.
589
00:41:44,459 --> 00:41:47,378
Now take care of yourself
and don't catch cold.
590
00:41:47,421 --> 00:41:49,256
Plenty of blankets here.
591
00:41:49,297 --> 00:41:50,775
And look out for pneumonia.
592
00:41:50,799 --> 00:41:53,510
Don't want to give this place
a bad name.
593
00:42:09,234 --> 00:42:13,613
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
594
00:42:13,655 --> 00:42:17,367
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
595
00:42:18,285 --> 00:42:22,785
<i>I want to go to Heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
596
00:42:27,836 --> 00:42:31,172
Hey, Number 3!
597
00:42:32,549 --> 00:42:35,236
Hey you, new guy.
598
00:42:35,260 --> 00:42:37,238
You're Number 3.
599
00:42:37,262 --> 00:42:39,323
You might as well get
me right from the start.
600
00:42:39,347 --> 00:42:42,744
I'm Number 1 anywhere.
601
00:42:42,768 --> 00:42:47,268
Well, Number 3 or... or Number 1
or whatever you are,
602
00:42:47,439 --> 00:42:50,775
do you sing tenor?
603
00:42:50,817 --> 00:42:52,151
Who me?
604
00:42:52,194 --> 00:42:54,362
I kill tenors.
605
00:42:55,864 --> 00:42:58,658
Oh, a tough guy, hey?
606
00:42:58,700 --> 00:43:01,119
Too bad you ain't a tenor.
607
00:43:01,161 --> 00:43:04,414
We had a swell quartet,
608
00:43:04,456 --> 00:43:07,041
but they took our tenor yesterday.
609
00:43:08,168 --> 00:43:10,336
Hey, Number 4.
610
00:43:10,378 --> 00:43:12,838
What does that new bird look like?
611
00:43:14,299 --> 00:43:18,780
Well, ain't much to be said about him.
612
00:43:18,804 --> 00:43:19,888
Pretty big.
613
00:43:21,223 --> 00:43:25,723
Got a mug on him
like they use to scare babies with.
614
00:43:25,977 --> 00:43:27,663
Looks like he cuts his hair with a...
615
00:43:27,687 --> 00:43:30,022
Oh, close your trap.
616
00:43:30,065 --> 00:43:33,544
Say, is that you, Thunderbolt?
617
00:43:33,568 --> 00:43:35,319
That's me.
618
00:43:35,362 --> 00:43:39,862
Reading from left to right, Thunderbolt.
619
00:43:39,991 --> 00:43:41,534
Who wants to know?
620
00:43:41,576 --> 00:43:44,829
Don't tell me that you've forgotten me.
621
00:43:44,871 --> 00:43:47,248
Wait, that sounds like Chuck.
622
00:43:47,290 --> 00:43:49,125
Is that you, kid?
623
00:43:49,167 --> 00:43:52,336
The kid himself, sure thing.
624
00:43:52,379 --> 00:43:56,192
Say, what are you in for, big boy?
625
00:43:56,216 --> 00:43:58,402
Being kind to animals.
626
00:43:58,426 --> 00:44:02,740
I just got too interested in a dog,
that's all.
627
00:44:02,764 --> 00:44:05,076
You know any more jokes?
628
00:44:05,100 --> 00:44:08,103
This place is for killers.
629
00:44:12,858 --> 00:44:14,985
Who is that, a friend of yours, Chuck?
630
00:44:15,026 --> 00:44:18,487
Friend of mine?
I should say not.
631
00:44:18,530 --> 00:44:22,033
How long you gonna stop in our hotel, Jim?
632
00:44:22,075 --> 00:44:23,993
About eight weeks.
633
00:44:24,035 --> 00:44:27,204
Anybody else in here I oughta know?
634
00:44:27,247 --> 00:44:29,374
Holler roll for him, boys.
635
00:44:29,416 --> 00:44:33,916
Joe Ripley, been here so long
I've forgotten what I'm in for.
636
00:44:33,962 --> 00:44:36,506
Kentucky Sampson.
637
00:44:36,548 --> 00:44:39,443
Caught on the 13th job.
638
00:44:39,467 --> 00:44:43,967
I was that good, the jury brought in a verdict
of guilty before they went out to lunch.
639
00:44:44,472 --> 00:44:47,975
I'm next door, Jim, Number 5.
640
00:44:50,103 --> 00:44:52,415
Hey, Pat, give me a light, will ya?
641
00:44:52,439 --> 00:44:54,649
<i>Everybody talkin' 'bout Heaven
ain't goin' there</i>
642
00:44:54,733 --> 00:44:57,152
<i>Heaven, Heaven</i>
643
00:44:57,194 --> 00:45:00,739
<i>Gonna shout all over,
goin' to Heaven</i>
644
00:45:00,780 --> 00:45:03,115
Leave those matches here, will you, Pat?
645
00:45:03,158 --> 00:45:05,034
I would (unintelligible).
646
00:45:05,076 --> 00:45:07,578
Sure, you know it's against the rules.
647
00:45:07,621 --> 00:45:11,291
And furthermore, my name is not Pat.
648
00:45:11,333 --> 00:45:13,376
- What is your name?
- Don't tell him!
649
00:45:13,418 --> 00:45:16,254
Make him guess!
650
00:45:16,296 --> 00:45:18,089
Number 6.
651
00:45:18,131 --> 00:45:21,676
Making my exit today.
652
00:45:21,718 --> 00:45:24,447
<i>I got a song, you got a song</i>
653
00:45:24,471 --> 00:45:27,366
<i>All of God's children got a song</i>
654
00:45:27,390 --> 00:45:30,912
Number 7 is at the piano.
655
00:45:30,936 --> 00:45:34,123
Special dispensation from the warden.
656
00:45:34,147 --> 00:45:37,668
Number 8, (unintelligible) Roberts.
657
00:45:37,692 --> 00:45:40,027
Murder in the first degree.
658
00:45:40,070 --> 00:45:42,113
Brought up by honest parents.
659
00:45:42,155 --> 00:45:45,491
At least, they was honest as far as I know.
660
00:45:45,533 --> 00:45:50,033
Absolutely on the level
until my 12th birthday.
661
00:45:55,335 --> 00:45:59,774
Number 9's still in the hospital, I guess.
662
00:45:59,798 --> 00:46:03,277
Number 10, now broadcasting.
663
00:46:03,301 --> 00:46:06,155
Bad AI Frieberg, that's me.
664
00:46:06,179 --> 00:46:09,909
I guess I don't have to tell you who I am.
665
00:46:09,933 --> 00:46:12,078
Maybe you should.
666
00:46:12,102 --> 00:46:14,288
I never heard of you.
667
00:46:14,312 --> 00:46:15,998
Don't kid me.
668
00:46:16,022 --> 00:46:18,107
Everybody heard about me.
669
00:46:18,149 --> 00:46:21,443
There was whole pages in
the papers when I was caught
670
00:46:21,486 --> 00:46:23,529
Pictures and everything.
671
00:46:23,571 --> 00:46:28,071
The Machine Gun Terror,
that's what they call me.
672
00:46:29,077 --> 00:46:31,954
Oh yes, I remember you now.
673
00:46:31,997 --> 00:46:35,166
The Machine Gun Terror, huh?
674
00:46:35,208 --> 00:46:39,420
Well,
down my way they call you Squirt Gun AI.
675
00:46:39,462 --> 00:46:41,630
I'll squirt gun you, you big stick.
If I ever...
676
00:46:41,673 --> 00:46:46,010
Oh, you big fat head,
I bet you bragged your way into the joint.
677
00:46:48,513 --> 00:46:49,824
Come on, Number 7.
678
00:46:49,848 --> 00:46:51,850
Back to your cell.
679
00:47:13,538 --> 00:47:18,038
As I was saying, I was absolutely
on the level until my 12th birthday,
680
00:47:19,502 --> 00:47:24,002
and then, well,
nothing much happened until I was 37.
681
00:47:25,008 --> 00:47:27,844
Then I blew up over a dame!
682
00:47:29,304 --> 00:47:31,657
You're not the only one.
683
00:47:31,681 --> 00:47:33,242
You said it.
684
00:47:33,266 --> 00:47:36,162
There's a dame behind
every guy in this joint.
685
00:47:36,186 --> 00:47:38,456
That was the trouble with me.
686
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,149
The dames wouldn't let me alone.
687
00:47:41,191 --> 00:47:45,691
I wouldn't be here now if two skirts
hadn't fell for me at the same time.
688
00:47:48,198 --> 00:47:50,450
Yeah, I know.
689
00:47:50,492 --> 00:47:54,992
Fell for you, you mean tripped
trying to get out of your way.
690
00:47:57,707 --> 00:47:59,625
Say, listen.
691
00:47:59,667 --> 00:48:01,669
I've had about enough out of you.
692
00:48:01,711 --> 00:48:05,066
I'd show you something if they let
me out of here a couple of minutes.
693
00:48:05,090 --> 00:48:06,567
You big cluck!
694
00:48:06,591 --> 00:48:09,153
What would you do, big boy?
695
00:48:09,177 --> 00:48:10,821
I'd do plenty.
696
00:48:10,845 --> 00:48:12,847
Don't you worry about that.
697
00:48:12,889 --> 00:48:16,285
I ain't afraid of you or that
phony right hand of yours.
698
00:48:16,309 --> 00:48:19,580
Sure you're not,
699
00:48:19,604 --> 00:48:22,523
with these bars between us.
700
00:48:33,868 --> 00:48:36,161
- Hello, Mr. Moran.
- Hello, Jack.
701
00:48:36,204 --> 00:48:38,372
- How are you?
- Fine.
702
00:48:55,056 --> 00:48:57,618
Well, what can I do for you?
703
00:48:57,642 --> 00:49:00,246
Well, you sent for me, Mr. Corwin.
704
00:49:00,270 --> 00:49:02,289
I did nothing of the sort.
705
00:49:02,313 --> 00:49:04,023
That's funny.
706
00:49:04,065 --> 00:49:08,319
Your secretary phoned the house yesterday
and left word that you wanted to see me.
707
00:49:16,453 --> 00:49:18,037
Miss Randall has gone to lunch.
708
00:49:18,079 --> 00:49:20,164
Is there anything I can do for you, sir?
709
00:49:20,206 --> 00:49:22,374
No, never mind.
710
00:49:22,417 --> 00:49:25,044
I don't see why she
should've called you up.
711
00:49:25,086 --> 00:49:27,671
There's nothing I want to see you about.
712
00:49:30,049 --> 00:49:32,968
Then I'm sorry I bothered you.
713
00:49:46,065 --> 00:49:48,233
Got a match, buddy?
714
00:49:56,451 --> 00:49:58,244
Take it easy, Moran.
715
00:49:58,286 --> 00:50:01,455
Come on there, all of you,
get your hands up.
716
00:50:01,498 --> 00:50:02,624
Keep 'em up!
717
00:50:02,665 --> 00:50:06,043
High up there, face the wall!
718
00:50:06,085 --> 00:50:08,670
Come on, do as I tell you.
719

Even a bank ain't safe
from these gangsters.
720
00:50:29,526 --> 00:50:32,487

00:52:32,774 --> 00:52:36,235
Get back, get back.
748
00:52:36,277 --> 00:52:38,779
You men will only get me into trouble.
749
00:52:38,821 --> 00:52:41,156
I'll handle this.
750
00:52:41,199 --> 00:52:42,867
Watch me!
751
00:52:42,909 --> 00:52:45,453
Now you turn over that gun
this minute, do you hear?
752
00:52:45,495 --> 00:52:47,079
This is my last warning.
753
00:52:47,121 --> 00:52:49,790
If you don't, we'll just
have to fill you full of bullets!
754
00:52:49,832 --> 00:52:52,292
Go ahead, that's what I want you to do!
755
00:52:52,335 --> 00:52:55,880
I don't care how I croak
as long as I beat you to it.
756
00:52:55,922 --> 00:52:57,650
Bad AI Frieberg!
757
00:52:57,674 --> 00:53:00,569
That's me!
758
00:53:00,593 --> 00:53:04,865
Now listen, AI, listen to reason.
759
00:53:04,889 --> 00:53:07,910
We've got to execute you tonight.
760
00:53:07,934 --> 00:53:10,412
Besides, you haven't got a chance, AI.
761
00:53:10,436 --> 00:53:12,915
That gun's empty.
762
00:53:12,939 --> 00:53:16,317
- How do you know?
- We caught the guy who sold it to you.
763
00:53:16,359 --> 00:53:19,070
I'll show you whether it's empty or not!
764
00:53:19,112 --> 00:53:21,531
Ah, don't point that thing at me!
765
00:53:21,572 --> 00:53:23,198
Bring on your gang.
766
00:53:23,241 --> 00:53:27,286
I don't care how I die
as long as I die shooting!
767
00:53:27,328 --> 00:53:29,621
Yeah, you'll die shooting.
768
00:53:29,664 --> 00:53:31,957
Shooting off your mouth.
769
00:53:31,999 --> 00:53:34,334
I'll get you too before I'm through!
770
00:53:34,377 --> 00:53:37,088
You ain't big enough, little boy.
771
00:53:37,130 --> 00:53:39,441
I'll fill you full of lead
if it's the last thing I do!
772
00:53:39,465 --> 00:53:43,965
Yes, and if I was the warden I'd take that gat
away from you and shove it down your throat.
773
00:53:44,512 --> 00:53:48,325
If I could only get close enough
to take a crack at you!
774
00:53:48,349 --> 00:53:52,849
You haven't got the nerve it takes
to crack a slot machine.
775
00:54:02,363 --> 00:54:03,697
Get out of the way, boys!
776
00:54:03,740 --> 00:54:05,158
Clear the deck!
777
00:54:05,199 --> 00:54:07,177
Give me that gun, you rat.
778
00:54:07,201 --> 00:54:09,620
Give it to you?
779
00:54:09,662 --> 00:54:11,872
I'll give it to you all right!
780
00:54:17,128 --> 00:54:21,048
<i>Rock-a—bye baby, on the treetops</i>
781
00:54:21,090 --> 00:54:24,945
<i>When the wind blows, the cradle will rock</i>
782
00:54:24,969 --> 00:54:28,824
<i>When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall</i>
783
00:54:28,848 --> 00:54:33,348
<i>Down will come baby, cradle and all</i>
784
00:54:33,436 --> 00:54:36,415
Here's a souvenir for you, warden.
785
00:54:36,439 --> 00:54:39,567
<i>When the wind blows, the cradle will rock</i>
786
00:54:39,609 --> 00:54:41,211
Get the doctor!
787
00:54:41,235 --> 00:54:42,903
You get back in your cell!
788
00:54:42,945 --> 00:54:44,154
Go on now!
789
00:54:44,197 --> 00:54:48,697
<i>Down will come baby, cradle and all</i>
790
00:55:04,342 --> 00:55:06,069
Thanks, Mike.
791
00:55:06,093 --> 00:55:08,864
My name is not Mike.
792
00:55:08,888 --> 00:55:10,848
I'll guess it.
793
00:55:15,186 --> 00:55:16,914
Just a little accident, doc.
794
00:55:16,938 --> 00:55:19,899
Somebody hit him.
795
00:55:19,941 --> 00:55:22,485
What'd he hit him with, a Sledgehammer?
796
00:55:28,407 --> 00:55:30,117
Looks a like a very dangerous concussion.
797
00:55:30,159 --> 00:55:33,662
It won't be fatal, will it?
798
00:55:33,704 --> 00:55:36,665
Listen, doc,
you've just got to see that this man lives.
799
00:55:36,707 --> 00:55:38,041
Do something!
800
00:55:38,084 --> 00:55:39,835
I've got to execute him tonight.
801
00:55:39,877 --> 00:55:42,504
Take him to the hospital
and put him on the table.
802
00:55:45,216 --> 00:55:47,801
He's certainly had a terrible shock.
803
00:55:49,345 --> 00:55:51,221
Be careful with him, boys.
804
00:55:54,976 --> 00:55:57,162
You shouldn't have hit that man so hard,
Jim.
805
00:55:57,186 --> 00:55:59,665
Don't worry about him, warden.
806
00:55:59,689 --> 00:56:01,399
He'll come out of it in a couple of hours.
807
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,651
I just tapped him.
808
00:56:04,694 --> 00:56:06,779
Well, anyway, I'm much obliged to you,
809
00:56:06,821 --> 00:56:11,033
and if there's any little favor I could
do for you, that is, within reason.
810
00:56:11,075 --> 00:56:14,745
Well, if it isn't asking too much,
811
00:56:14,787 --> 00:56:18,665
I would like to have that
dog of mine in here with me.
812
00:56:18,708 --> 00:56:21,419
Well, I guess we can
fix that up for you all right.
813
00:56:21,460 --> 00:56:25,960
<i>(unintelligible)</i>
814
00:56:26,215 --> 00:56:28,569
I thought I had that quartet broken up.
815
00:56:28,593 --> 00:56:31,989
But I no sooner get rid of one
than they send me another.
816
00:56:32,013 --> 00:56:34,992
You sure pulled me out of an awful mess.
817
00:56:35,016 --> 00:56:36,869
It was a pleasure, warden.
818
00:56:36,893 --> 00:56:40,163
I'd have been in a tough spot
if this thing had broken in the papers.
819
00:56:40,187 --> 00:56:42,541
Think of the scandal!
820
00:56:42,565 --> 00:56:45,276
I'll fix that dog thing up
for you in a day or two.
821
00:56:45,318 --> 00:56:48,029
<i>That brings me back again</i>
822
00:56:48,070 --> 00:56:50,572
<i>Down home where I remain</i>
823
00:56:50,615 --> 00:56:54,410
<i>Where my honey lamb am</i>
824
00:56:54,452 --> 00:56:57,079
<i>I will be right there with bells</i>
825
00:56:57,121 --> 00:56:59,498
<i>When that old conductor yells</i>
826
00:56:59,540 --> 00:57:02,251
<i>All aboard, all aboard</i>
827
00:57:02,293 --> 00:57:05,254
<i>All aboard for Alabam</i>
828
00:57:05,296 --> 00:57:09,796
<i>Alabam, Alabam</i>
829
00:57:16,933 --> 00:57:19,870
Couldn't be more comfortable at the Ritz.
830
00:57:19,894 --> 00:57:21,955
And don't you give me any trouble!
831
00:57:21,979 --> 00:57:24,398
I'm having trouble enough around here.
832
00:57:28,694 --> 00:57:31,530
I'll see you later, Number 4.
833
00:57:50,216 --> 00:57:52,718
Hey, Number 4!
834
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,077
He's calling you, new guy.
835
00:58:00,101 --> 00:58:01,954
You're Number 4.
836
00:58:01,978 --> 00:58:04,498
What are you in for, new guy?
837
00:58:04,522 --> 00:58:07,399
They were robbing a bank
and someone got killed,
838
00:58:07,441 --> 00:58:10,610
and they found a revolver in my pocket.
839
00:58:10,653 --> 00:58:13,197
You didn't have anything to do with it,
did you?
840
00:58:13,239 --> 00:58:14,531
Not a thing.
841
00:58:14,573 --> 00:58:16,241
That's fine.
842
00:58:16,283 --> 00:58:18,702
Now tell us another bedtime story.
843
00:58:21,038 --> 00:58:24,750
Hey, what does he look like, Number 3?
844
00:58:28,963 --> 00:58:33,402
Swing around there, buddy,
so I can get a good look at you.
845
00:58:33,426 --> 00:58:37,096
Don't be bashful, I'm not gonna bite you.
846
00:58:40,099 --> 00:58:44,413
Well, he ain't so bad to look at, I guess.
847
00:58:44,437 --> 00:58:48,458
He's got a face like those fellows
on the collar ads,
848
00:58:48,482 --> 00:58:52,611
and I ain't sure but what
he's got a dimple or two.
849
00:58:52,653 --> 00:58:57,153
Beautiful hair and kind of a mushy mouth.
850
00:58:57,366 --> 00:59:00,994
Looks like one of those lady killers,
if you ask me.
851
00:59:02,496 --> 00:59:06,996
The kind a silly dame is bound to fall for.
852
00:59:09,211 --> 00:59:11,713
What's your name, new guy?
853
00:59:15,217 --> 00:59:17,612
Moran, Bob Moran.
854
00:59:17,636 --> 00:59:19,512
Moran, huh?
855
00:59:19,555 --> 00:59:24,055
Say, ain't you the guy I been reading about
that stole Thunderbolt's girl?
856
00:59:24,852 --> 00:59:28,081
<i>Take me out to the ball game</i>
857
00:59:28,105 --> 00:59:30,982
<i>Take me out with the crowd</i>
858
00:59:31,025 --> 00:59:32,526
<i>Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack</i>
859
00:59:32,610 --> 00:59:37,110
It might interest you to know
the guy across the way from you
860
00:59:37,239 --> 00:59:40,992
is a party by the name of Thunderbolt.
861
00:59:41,035 --> 00:59:43,662
You two guys oughta know each other better.
862
00:59:43,704 --> 00:59:48,204
<i>One, two, three strikes, you're out,
at the old ball game</i>
863
00:59:49,418 --> 00:59:52,003
You put me in here, you framed me!
864
00:59:52,046 --> 00:59:54,465
You know I'm innocent, you're in on it!
865
00:59:54,507 --> 00:59:57,360
I'd like to get my hands on you just once!
866
00:59:57,384 --> 01:00:00,072
Just once, just once!
867
01:00:00,096 --> 01:00:02,741
<i>If I never get back,
let me root, root, root</i>
868
01:00:02,765 --> 01:00:04,618
You've got me wrong, kid.
869
01:00:04,642 --> 01:00:06,536
I've never done anything to you.
870
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:11,060
You're a dirty liar, you framed me,
you got me into this!
871
01:00:11,273 --> 01:00:14,776
I'm not afraid of you, I'm not scared!
872
01:00:14,819 --> 01:00:17,571
I'm not afraid to die!
873
01:00:28,499 --> 01:00:32,377
Over, lay over.
874
01:00:32,419 --> 01:00:35,380
Thatta boy, there.
875
01:00:37,508 --> 01:00:39,402
Say, Thunderbolt!
876
01:00:39,426 --> 01:00:43,865
If it's all the same to you, will you stop
teaching that dog to roll over and play dead?
877
01:00:43,889 --> 01:00:46,099
He's giving me the willies.
878
01:01:22,469 --> 01:01:24,489
Get the handcuff crew.
879
01:01:24,513 --> 01:01:27,576
Hey, up there on the upper deck,
front and center.
880
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:29,435
Yo!
881
01:01:38,736 --> 01:01:42,740
The district attorney wants to see you,
down in my office.
882
01:01:45,618 --> 01:01:46,827
What does he want?
883
01:01:46,869 --> 01:01:48,245
I don't know.
884
01:01:49,997 --> 01:01:53,583
Well,
I don't want him bothering me anymore.
885
01:01:53,626 --> 01:01:56,170
I got enough to worry about as it is.
886
01:01:56,212 --> 01:02:00,712
Well, you haven't got much longer
to worry about anything.
887
01:02:01,425 --> 01:02:04,571
So you've set the date for my kick-off,
have you?
888
01:02:04,595 --> 01:02:06,031
Yup.
889
01:02:06,055 --> 01:02:09,367
I've got two for the
week of January the 7th.
890
01:02:09,391 --> 01:02:11,995
Who's the other one?
891
01:02:12,019 --> 01:02:15,957
Moran goes on Monday
and you're set for Saturday.
892
01:02:15,981 --> 01:02:18,066
That's great.
893
01:02:20,152 --> 01:02:23,238
You know, I was glad that your lawyers
got you that temporary reprieve
894
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,490
so that you could be
around a little while longer.
895
01:02:25,532 --> 01:02:27,784
You don't take it so hard.
896
01:02:27,826 --> 01:02:30,370
But some of these other fellas...
897
01:02:30,412 --> 01:02:33,498
- Come on, get him out of there.
- Hey, warden!
898
01:02:37,419 --> 01:02:41,464
I may be seconds to death,
but you've got no right to make me listen
899
01:02:41,507 --> 01:02:45,362
to that same piece of music
every time that band plays here.
900
01:02:45,386 --> 01:02:47,447
It's cruel and inhuman.
901
01:02:47,471 --> 01:02:51,224
I come here for rest and recreation.
902
01:02:53,185 --> 01:02:55,789
You're just plain ungrateful, that's all.
903
01:02:55,813 --> 01:02:57,666
I'm sorry you ever came here.
904
01:02:57,690 --> 01:03:00,192
So am I!
905
01:03:03,654 --> 01:03:06,239
Come on, bring him out.
906
01:03:49,783 --> 01:03:51,993
Sit down, Jim.
907
01:03:55,748 --> 01:03:57,458
How are you, McKay?
908
01:03:57,499 --> 01:03:59,751
Let's get down to cases, Jim.
909
01:03:59,793 --> 01:04:02,128
You know me and you
know the kind of a man I am.
910
01:04:02,171 --> 01:04:03,255
Yeah.
911
01:04:03,297 --> 01:04:06,151
I don't want to send an
innocent man to his death.
912
01:04:06,175 --> 01:04:10,030
As a matter of fact, I'd fight just as hard
to get an innocent man out of here
913
01:04:10,054 --> 01:04:12,490
as I would fight to put
a guilty man in here.
914
01:04:12,514 --> 01:04:14,075
All right, I'll vote for you.
915
01:04:14,099 --> 01:04:16,578
What are you running for?
916
01:04:16,602 --> 01:04:18,812
This is a serious matter, Jim.
917
01:04:18,854 --> 01:04:20,749
It'll pay you to be serious about it.
918
01:04:20,773 --> 01:04:23,984
I may be helping to snuff out the life
of an innocent man.
919
01:04:24,026 --> 01:04:26,611
You mean you're sorry for railroading me?
920
01:04:26,653 --> 01:04:29,947
Several people have been to see me
about Bob Moran.
921
01:04:29,990 --> 01:04:34,490
He's the man you were going to kill
the night you were caught.
922
01:04:35,621 --> 01:04:37,748
I was going to kill?
923
01:04:37,790 --> 01:04:40,250
You got me mixed up with somebody.
924
01:04:40,292 --> 01:04:43,920
I make it a point never to kill any Morans.
925
01:04:45,756 --> 01:04:47,984
Then why did you go
to his apartment that night?
926
01:04:48,008 --> 01:04:49,819
I'll bite, why did I?
927
01:04:49,843 --> 01:04:52,530
You tell me, you know everything.
928
01:04:52,554 --> 01:04:54,449
That kind of an attitude won't help you...
929
01:04:54,473 --> 01:04:56,826
I'm not looking for help.
930
01:04:56,850 --> 01:04:59,978
When I want your help, I'll let you know.
931
01:05:27,005 --> 01:05:29,007
Do you know this lady?
932
01:05:30,717 --> 01:05:33,863
No, who is she?
933
01:05:33,887 --> 01:05:36,931
Bob Moran is my son.
934
01:05:40,769 --> 01:05:42,979
He's my only child.
935
01:05:46,608 --> 01:05:51,108
I came down here to ask you
to help me to save him.
936
01:05:56,243 --> 01:06:00,080
Well, I guess it's no use, is it?
937
01:06:00,122 --> 01:06:03,667
What's the idea of pulling
this sob stuff on me?
938
01:06:03,709 --> 01:06:05,794
Just a minute.
939
01:06:12,551 --> 01:06:15,738
Oh, Mary.
940
01:06:15,762 --> 01:06:17,221
Oh!
941
01:06:21,310 --> 01:06:23,937
Jim, you're not going
through with this, are you?
942
01:06:23,979 --> 01:06:26,940
What are you talking about?
943
01:06:27,024 --> 01:06:28,316
I know you, Jim.
944
01:06:28,358 --> 01:06:31,903
You're a killer, but you were always fair.
945
01:06:31,945 --> 01:06:33,655
You were never mean.
946
01:06:33,697 --> 01:06:35,699
You were never cruel.
947
01:06:35,741 --> 01:06:38,452
Have I got to listen
to all this junk, warden?
948
01:06:38,494 --> 01:06:40,871
No, not if you don't want to.
949
01:06:40,913 --> 01:06:42,873
You listen to me, Jim.
950
01:06:42,915 --> 01:06:45,792
You had Bob framed for that killing.
951
01:06:45,834 --> 01:06:48,044
You said you would get him and you did.
952
01:06:48,086 --> 01:06:50,254
What's the idea?
953
01:06:50,297 --> 01:06:53,383
What are you trying
to frame up on me here?
954
01:07:00,057 --> 01:07:04,037
I guess that'll be all, warden.
955
01:07:04,061 --> 01:07:05,937
Oh, Mary.
956
01:07:13,946 --> 01:07:17,199
Jim, those two women need that boy.
957
01:07:17,241 --> 01:07:21,741
If there's anything you can say
that will help them, say it now.
958
01:07:24,122 --> 01:07:26,624
Home, James.
959
01:07:39,805 --> 01:07:44,244
I don't see how I can
win him off for you folks.
960
01:07:44,268 --> 01:07:48,164
You mean,
you mean you won't reopen the case?
961
01:07:48,188 --> 01:07:50,416
There's nothing I can do.
962
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:52,608
The only chance we had
was for him to confess.
963
01:07:52,651 --> 01:07:54,277
But it was clear from his attitude.
964
01:07:54,319 --> 01:07:57,989
- Surely you could see...
- Attitudes don't count, I'm sorry.
965
01:07:58,031 --> 01:08:00,450
We need evidence.
966
01:08:28,478 --> 01:08:30,813
All right, lock him up!
967
01:08:58,050 --> 01:09:00,486
I guess you'd like to get close to Moran,
wouldn't you?
968
01:09:00,510 --> 01:09:02,155
Well, you're not going to!
969
01:09:02,179 --> 01:09:03,865
Why not?
970
01:09:03,889 --> 01:09:05,098
I wouldn't hurt him.
971
01:09:05,140 --> 01:09:06,909
Not much, you wouldn't.
972
01:09:06,933 --> 01:09:08,703
I can't quite get your angle.
973
01:09:08,727 --> 01:09:11,080
Aren't you satisfied he's
going to be executed?
974
01:09:11,104 --> 01:09:12,540
What more do you want?
975
01:09:12,564 --> 01:09:15,650
I don't settle my debts that way.
976
01:09:15,692 --> 01:09:18,277
I'm going to get him myself.
977
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:21,197
If you ever get any closer to him
than you are right now,
978
01:09:21,239 --> 01:09:23,866
it'll be over my dead body!
979
01:10:03,031 --> 01:10:07,531
Dearly beloved, we are gathered together
here in sight of God
980
01:10:08,370 --> 01:10:12,870
and in the face of this company to join together
this man and this woman in holy matrimony,
981
01:10:16,253 --> 01:10:20,753
which is an honorable estate
and is not by any to be entered into
982
01:10:20,966 --> 01:10:25,466
unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently.
983
01:10:26,179 --> 01:10:30,679
Into this holy estate, these two
persons present come now to be joined.
984
01:10:31,309 --> 01:10:35,809
If any man can show just cause why
they may not lawfully be joined together,
985
01:10:36,606 --> 01:10:41,106
let him now speak or else hereafter
forever hold his peace.
986
01:10:43,321 --> 01:10:46,907
Wilt thou have this woman
to be thy wedded wife?
987
01:10:46,950 --> 01:10:51,450
Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor
and keep her in sickness and in health,
988
01:10:53,582 --> 01:10:58,082
and forsaking all others, keep thee only
unto her so long as you both shall live?
989
01:11:02,174 --> 01:11:03,651
I Will.
990
01:11:03,675 --> 01:11:06,946
Wilt thou have this man
to be thy wedded husband?
991
01:11:06,970 --> 01:11:11,470
Wilt thou obey him and serve him, love,
honor, and keep him in sickness and in health,
992
01:11:14,102 --> 01:11:18,602
and forsaking all others, keep thee only
unto him so long as you both shall live?
993
01:11:22,611 --> 01:11:24,112
I Will.
994
01:11:24,154 --> 01:11:28,032
Who giveth this woman
to be married to this man?
995
01:11:29,868 --> 01:11:31,619
I do.
996
01:11:34,372 --> 01:11:37,041
Repeat after me.
997
01:11:37,083 --> 01:11:41,583
- With this ring I thee wed.
- With this ring I thee wed.
998
01:11:42,923 --> 01:11:47,423
- And with all my worldly goods, I thee endow.
- And with all my worldly goods, I thee endow.
999
01:11:53,016 --> 01:11:57,516
Those whom God hath joined together,
let no man put asunder.
1000
01:11:58,271 --> 01:12:02,441
I now pronounce you man and wife.
1001
01:12:02,484 --> 01:12:04,235
Oh, my poor children.
1002
01:12:04,277 --> 01:12:06,862
Oh, my poor children!
1003
01:12:06,905 --> 01:12:10,116
I'm sorry but your time is up.
1004
01:12:12,118 --> 01:12:13,744
You'll have to go now, Mrs. Moran.
1005
01:12:13,787 --> 01:12:15,246
Oh, my boy!
1006
01:12:15,288 --> 01:12:17,790
Just a minute, warden.
1007
01:12:19,835 --> 01:12:24,335
Let me be the first
to give them a wedding present.
1008
01:12:24,923 --> 01:12:28,444
Moran doesn't belong in here.
1009
01:12:28,468 --> 01:12:30,947
They were right.
1010
01:12:30,971 --> 01:12:33,765
I had him framed.
1011
01:12:39,729 --> 01:12:42,208
Jim.
1012
01:12:42,232 --> 01:12:44,234
You keep out of this.
1013
01:12:44,276 --> 01:12:48,776
I'm talking to the warden,
and get away from me
1014
01:12:49,239 --> 01:12:52,659
before I change my mind.
1015
01:12:52,701 --> 01:12:55,245
What did he say, dear?
What did he say?
1016
01:12:55,287 --> 01:12:58,581
He means that Bob is going to be free now.
1017
01:13:05,881 --> 01:13:08,174
You're to blame for this!
1018
01:13:08,216 --> 01:13:11,070
I've been in this racket now for 30 years
1019
01:13:11,094 --> 01:13:14,198
and this is the first time
I ever saw anything like this happen.
1020
01:13:14,222 --> 01:13:17,577
Four hours before an execution!
1021
01:13:17,601 --> 01:13:21,539
Before anything else happens, I'm going
to call up the governor and get a stay.
1022
01:13:21,563 --> 01:13:24,524
Maybe you better take my statement first.
1023
01:13:24,566 --> 01:13:26,234
I know what to do!
1024
01:13:26,276 --> 01:13:28,486
I've been running a jail all my life.
1025
01:13:28,528 --> 01:13:32,240
Don't you try to teach me my business.
1026
01:13:32,282 --> 01:13:35,535
Come on, you two,
you've just got to go now.
1027
01:13:35,577 --> 01:13:37,704
You'll have to leave now, madam.
1028
01:13:40,624 --> 01:13:42,292
I knew you'd come through, Jim.
1029
01:13:42,334 --> 01:13:44,252
Oh, leave me alone.
1030
01:13:44,294 --> 01:13:46,379
Oh, thank you.
1031
01:13:46,421 --> 01:13:49,006
Thank you, Mr. Thunderbolt.
1032
01:14:04,564 --> 01:14:06,649
Go on, close it.
1033
01:14:23,166 --> 01:14:25,251
You've done a wonderful thing, Jim.
1034
01:14:27,462 --> 01:14:30,882
Well, I've been here a long time now
1035
01:14:30,924 --> 01:14:35,424
and I'm shuffling off
at the end of the week.
1036
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:40,220
I've had a lot of time
to think things over.
1037
01:14:50,193 --> 01:14:52,195
Better lie down, Bob.
1038
01:14:52,237 --> 01:14:55,114
Try and get some sleep.
1039
01:14:55,156 --> 01:14:56,782
I wanna speak to him.
1040
01:14:56,825 --> 01:14:58,785
I wanna thank him.
1041
01:14:58,827 --> 01:15:02,080
I wanna shake his hand.
1042
01:15:02,122 --> 01:15:06,622
We'll shake hands on Saturday when I go.
1043
01:15:10,171 --> 01:15:12,381
Hey, Thunderbolt!
1044
01:15:12,424 --> 01:15:15,069
What's the idea, you going nuts?
1045
01:15:15,093 --> 01:15:18,012
I thought you didn't like that guy!
1046
01:15:25,937 --> 01:15:28,791
A little music, professor.
1047
01:15:28,815 --> 01:15:33,315
<i>Summertime, summertime</i>
1048
01:15:33,695 --> 01:15:38,195
<i>We will be together in sunny weather</i>
1049
01:15:38,366 --> 01:15:42,703
<i>Down the lane once again</i>
1050
01:15:42,746 --> 01:15:46,875
<i>Sweetheart, you and I!</i>
1051
01:15:46,916 --> 01:15:51,211
<i>Summertime, summertime</i>
1052
01:15:51,254 --> 01:15:55,754
<i>Wedding bells will chime</i>
1053
01:15:56,426 --> 01:15:59,196
<i>All will be sunny</i>
1054
01:15:59,220 --> 01:16:01,513
<i>Peaches, cream, and honey</i>
1055
01:16:01,556 --> 01:16:06,056
<i>In the summertime</i>
1056
01:16:10,690 --> 01:16:12,983
Aw, now don't argue with me.
1057
01:16:13,026 --> 01:16:17,526
I just left Thunderbolt playing checkers
with Moran and I know what I'm talking about.
1058
01:16:18,239 --> 01:16:20,407
He had to get Moran reprieved.
1059
01:16:20,450 --> 01:16:24,162
He's always had his mind set on
bumping off this cluck all by his self
1060
01:16:24,204 --> 01:16:27,999
and this is the only way he could do it.
1061
01:16:28,041 --> 01:16:31,252
You guys give me a pain.
1062
01:16:31,294 --> 01:16:33,713
No imagination.
1063
01:16:36,091 --> 01:16:40,591
He's gonna wait until they opens up the
door to take him for the last walk, see?
1064
01:16:42,472 --> 01:16:46,869
Then he's gonna go over to say goodbye
to the boyfriend.
1065
01:16:46,893 --> 01:16:48,871
Now, get me.
1066
01:16:48,895 --> 01:16:51,791
I'm Thunderbolt and you're the kid, see?
1067
01:16:51,815 --> 01:16:55,544
They opens up the cell door
and starts me for the walk.
1068
01:16:55,568 --> 01:17:00,068
Then I goes over to say goodbye
to the boyfriend.
1069
01:17:01,116 --> 01:17:03,952
I sticks out the left hand.
1070
01:17:03,993 --> 01:17:05,285
See, boys?
1071
01:17:05,328 --> 01:17:09,540
This is the minute
that Thunderbolt's been waiting for.
1072
01:17:09,582 --> 01:17:13,961
Well, "80 long, pal," I says.
1073
01:17:14,003 --> 01:17:18,503
And then socko right through the bar.
1074
01:17:32,272 --> 01:17:33,690
All right.
1075
01:17:36,359 --> 01:17:39,195
Hey, wait a minute.
1076
01:17:39,237 --> 01:17:42,156
This invitation is for
last week's execution.
1077
01:17:42,198 --> 01:17:46,698
What do you think we do here,
give out rain checks?
1078
01:17:46,870 --> 01:17:48,162
Out.
1079
01:17:51,624 --> 01:17:53,208
What a heart.
1080
01:17:53,251 --> 01:17:55,294
Good for a hundred years.
1081
01:17:57,380 --> 01:17:59,632
It oughta be.
1082
01:17:59,674 --> 01:18:02,259
It's only been jilted once.
1083
01:18:04,345 --> 01:18:07,848
She's Mrs. Moran now.
1084
01:18:22,989 --> 01:18:25,783
Hey, gimme a light, will you, Timothy?
1085
01:18:33,333 --> 01:18:34,500
What's the matter, Moran?
1086
01:18:34,542 --> 01:18:39,042
Aren't you happy
now that you're getting out of here?
1087
01:18:39,088 --> 01:18:40,798
I'm not worried about myself.
1088
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:43,652
I'm getting out in a couple of weeks
the warden said.
1089
01:18:43,676 --> 01:18:45,905
I'm worried about you.
1090
01:18:45,929 --> 01:18:48,640
Don't you worry about me.
1091
01:18:53,144 --> 01:18:56,457
Hey, Timothy, these clothes don't fit me.
1092
01:18:56,481 --> 01:18:58,083
Take a squint at them.
1093
01:18:58,107 --> 01:19:00,609
How do you think I'm going to look?
1094
01:19:00,652 --> 01:19:03,154
What do you care how you're going to look?
1095
01:19:03,196 --> 01:19:06,032
You're not going anywhere.
1096
01:19:06,074 --> 01:19:09,452
And my name is not Timothy!
1097
01:19:09,494 --> 01:19:11,078
Well, don't get sore about it.
1098
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:13,872
I'll guess it before I'm through.
1099
01:19:19,087 --> 01:19:22,882
Come on, boy, we got
a couple of minutes more to play.
1100
01:20:14,017 --> 01:20:18,517
Whereas... give me your attention, Jim.
1101
01:20:18,563 --> 01:20:21,065
Whereas at a trial time on the...
1102
01:20:23,568 --> 01:20:27,280
You don't need to read
that death warrant to me, warden.
1103
01:20:27,322 --> 01:20:30,450
I know it backwards.
1104
01:20:30,491 --> 01:20:32,261
- I beg your pardon...
- Don't you bother me now
1105
01:20:32,285 --> 01:20:34,662
when I've got my mind
full of a million details.
1106
01:20:34,704 --> 01:20:36,414
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir, no, sir!
1107
01:20:36,456 --> 01:20:38,207
Yes, sir.
1108
01:20:40,501 --> 01:20:42,669
I knew I'd forgotten something.
1109
01:20:42,712 --> 01:20:43,921
What do you want for lunch?
1110
01:20:43,963 --> 01:20:45,441
You can have anything you want, you know.
1111
01:20:45,465 --> 01:20:47,276
All we've got to do is to bring it in.
1112
01:20:47,300 --> 01:20:49,802
Lunch, what time is it?
1113
01:20:49,844 --> 01:20:51,238
Three minutes after eleven.
1114
01:20:51,262 --> 01:20:53,032
What time is the big show?
1115
01:20:53,056 --> 01:20:55,159
11:20.
1116
01:20:55,183 --> 01:20:59,496
So you're going to give
me 17 minutes to eat it, huh?
1117
01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:03,208
Well, I'm not going to bolt
my food down in a hurry.
1118
01:21:03,232 --> 01:21:07,732
I'd have indigestion all afternoon.
1119
01:21:07,820 --> 01:21:09,780
I'll tell you what I would like to have,
warden.
1120
01:21:09,822 --> 01:21:12,282
Anything within reason, Jim.
1121
01:21:12,325 --> 01:21:14,994
- I'd like to have a good shot of...
- Nothing doing.
1122
01:21:15,036 --> 01:21:18,456
The only stuff we've got is in the hospital
and you've got to be sick to get it.
1123
01:21:18,498 --> 01:21:19,582
Well, I'm sick.
1124
01:21:19,624 --> 01:21:21,667
Who's got a better right to be?
1125
01:21:21,709 --> 01:21:23,794
You are sick, aren't you?
1126
01:21:23,836 --> 01:21:26,046
On the level, you don't feel good, do you?
1127
01:21:26,089 --> 01:21:27,882
I feel terrible.
1128
01:21:27,924 --> 01:21:30,527
I feel like I'm going to die.
1129
01:21:30,551 --> 01:21:34,198
Hey, guys, Thunderbolt
says he don't feel so good!
1130
01:21:34,222 --> 01:21:36,724
He feels like he's gonna die!
1131
01:21:42,772 --> 01:21:46,275
Well, I'll see what I can do about
getting you a little something.
1132
01:21:51,656 --> 01:21:53,157
How do you feel, Jim?
1133
01:21:53,199 --> 01:21:54,325
Same as ever.
1134
01:21:54,367 --> 01:21:56,452
The same as ever?
1135
01:21:56,494 --> 01:21:57,953
Yup.
1136
01:21:57,995 --> 01:22:00,497
You and me can't do any business.
1137
01:22:00,540 --> 01:22:04,669
I've lived all my life
without what you stand for
1138
01:22:04,710 --> 01:22:08,213
and I guess I'll have to die the same way.
1139
01:22:08,256 --> 01:22:12,756
You don't mind my sticking around
in case you change your mind?
1140
01:22:13,136 --> 01:22:15,888
Make yourself right at home.
1141
01:22:15,930 --> 01:22:18,033
Hey, Thunderbolt.
1142
01:22:18,057 --> 01:22:22,371
What do you want us to sing
when you're going to your dance?
1143
01:22:22,395 --> 01:22:26,625
I don't know, what have you got?
1144
01:22:26,649 --> 01:22:29,360
Well, how about Brokenhearted?
1145
01:22:29,402 --> 01:22:31,987
That oughta fit you like a glove.
1146
01:22:32,029 --> 01:22:36,158
<i>There she is, my old gal</i>
1147
01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:40,700
<i>There he is, my old pal</i>
1148
01:22:40,913 --> 01:22:45,413
<i>And here am I, brokenhearted</i>
1149
01:22:48,129 --> 01:22:50,840
How do you like that?
1150
01:22:50,882 --> 01:22:53,050
That's not so bad.
1151
01:22:55,219 --> 01:22:57,763
How do you like it, Moran?
1152
01:23:10,276 --> 01:23:12,236
Here you are.
1153
01:23:24,081 --> 01:23:26,208
You better take this, warden.
1154
01:23:26,250 --> 01:23:28,835
You need it worse than I do.
1155
01:23:36,886 --> 01:23:39,323
I certainly did need it.
1156
01:23:39,347 --> 01:23:41,783
You ought to be glad
you haven't got my job.
1157
01:23:41,807 --> 01:23:44,601
You have no idea what I go through.
1158
01:23:57,949 --> 01:23:59,617
Don't you worry, boy.
1159
01:23:59,659 --> 01:24:02,536
It's me that's going, not you.
1160
01:24:02,578 --> 01:24:05,122
- Everything all set?
- Yup!
1161
01:24:12,797 --> 01:24:14,673
Let's go.
1162
01:24:24,684 --> 01:24:26,703
So long, Shorty.
1163
01:24:26,727 --> 01:24:27,829
See you soon.
1164
01:24:27,853 --> 01:24:28,997
Thanks, Thunderbolt.
1165
01:24:29,021 --> 01:24:30,374
Send us a postcard.
1166
01:24:30,398 --> 01:24:34,151
Sure, "X marks my room,
wish you were here."
1167
01:24:34,193 --> 01:24:36,820
Jim, aren't you gonna say goodbye to me?
1168
01:24:36,862 --> 01:24:39,155
Me not say goodbye to you?
1169
01:24:39,198 --> 01:24:41,575
I'll be back in a minute, Moran.
1170
01:24:41,617 --> 01:24:44,286
I'm saving you for the last.
1171
01:24:44,328 --> 01:24:48,165
<i>There she is, my old gal</i>
1172
01:24:48,207 --> 01:24:51,835
<i>There he is, my old pal</i>
1173
01:24:51,877 --> 01:24:56,377
<i>And here am I, brokenhearted</i>
1174
01:25:00,303 --> 01:25:04,616
<i>Mine in May, his in June</i>
1175
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:08,495
<i>She forgot mighty soon</i>
1176
01:25:08,519 --> 01:25:12,291
<i>And here am I, right here</i>
1177
01:25:12,315 --> 01:25:16,068
<i>Brokenhearted</i>
1178
01:25:16,152 --> 01:25:20,614
<i>The last time that we said goodbye</i>
1179
01:25:20,656 --> 01:25:24,534
<i>I knew that she was through</i>
1180
01:25:24,577 --> 01:25:29,077
<i>It's bad enough that I lost her</i>
1181
01:25:29,206 --> 01:25:33,706
<i>I had to lose him too</i>
1182
01:25:33,961 --> 01:25:38,423
<i>There they go, feel their joy</i>
1183
01:25:38,466 --> 01:25:42,779
<i>Happy girl, lucky boy</i>
1184
01:25:42,803 --> 01:25:47,303
<i>And here am I</i>
1185
01:25:47,642 --> 01:25:52,142
<i>Brokenhearted</i>
1186
01:25:59,528 --> 01:26:02,531
So long, pal.
1187
01:26:02,573 --> 01:26:06,243
I wish I could help you now, Jim,
the way you helped me.
1188
01:26:13,876 --> 01:26:18,005
Funny, sizing us two up,
1189
01:26:18,047 --> 01:26:22,547
nobody would ever think
you were the better man.
1190
01:26:23,427 --> 01:26:25,572
You're the better man, Jim.
1191
01:26:25,596 --> 01:26:28,116
You've taught me a let
these last couple of days.
1192
01:26:28,140 --> 01:26:32,640
You'll be seeing Ritzie soon,
won't you, Moran?
1193
01:26:36,315 --> 01:26:40,815
She's a great little girl, isn't she?
1194
01:26:41,153 --> 01:26:45,653
You were pretty lucky
to take her away from me, weren't you?
1195
01:26:46,617 --> 01:26:49,745
I didn't mean to tell you, Jim,
but I guess I will.
1196
01:26:49,787 --> 01:26:51,997
Somehow I think you ought to know.
1197
01:26:52,039 --> 01:26:53,832
I oughta know what?
1198
01:26:53,874 --> 01:26:56,585
I didn't take her away from you, Jim.
1199
01:26:56,627 --> 01:26:59,504
It was you that took her away from me.
1200
01:27:04,510 --> 01:27:07,155
I took her away from you?
1201
01:27:07,179 --> 01:27:11,679
We've always been sweethearts,
since we were kids, and then she met you.
1202
01:27:12,601 --> 01:27:16,498
I didn't amount to much
and she thought you were wonderful.
1203
01:27:16,522 --> 01:27:21,022
She never told me anything about that.
1204
01:27:23,195 --> 01:27:26,198
I guess I was nothing to brag about.
1205
01:27:32,163 --> 01:27:36,663
I always did have a peculiar habit of
taking things that didn't belong to me.
1206
01:27:40,004 --> 01:27:42,589
That's why I'm here.
1207
01:27:53,225 --> 01:27:57,725
You're kinda crazy about her, aren't you?
1208
01:27:57,855 --> 01:28:01,042
I love her, Jim.
1209
01:28:01,066 --> 01:28:05,566
Well, I guess I do too.
1210
01:28:05,696 --> 01:28:08,365
I still do.
1211
01:28:20,169 --> 01:28:21,795
Good luck, kid.
1212
01:28:21,837 --> 01:28:24,089
Good luck to you both.
1213
01:28:24,131 --> 01:28:27,134
Give her my love.
1214
01:28:27,176 --> 01:28:30,304
And take care of her, whatever you do.
1215
01:28:54,912 --> 01:28:59,412
Well, chaplain,
I might as well give you a break too.
1216
01:28:59,875 --> 01:29:01,918
Come on.
1217
01:29:27,736 --> 01:29:30,029
So long, old timer.
1218
01:29:30,072 --> 01:29:33,241
And don't take any wooden biscuits.
1219
01:29:39,039 --> 01:29:41,124
Hey, Dinty.
1220
01:29:41,166 --> 01:29:45,420
Come here, will ya,
and give me one more light?
1221
01:30:01,770 --> 01:30:04,791
Here, Dinty, I guess I'll quit smoking.
1222
01:30:04,815 --> 01:30:08,193
Thanks, and my name isn't Dinty.
1223
01:30:08,235 --> 01:30:12,322
And before you go, I want you to know
that my name is Aloysius
1224
01:30:12,364 --> 01:30:14,324
and you didn't guess it.
1225
01:30:16,076 --> 01:30:18,995
- Your name is what?
- Aloysius.
1226
01:30:22,458 --> 01:30:24,751
What did you say your name was?
1227
01:30:24,793 --> 01:30:27,754
Aloysius and you didn't guess it.
1228
01:30:31,342 --> 01:30:33,987
Who would've guessed it?
1229
01:30:34,011 --> 01:30:35,804
<i>No...</i>
1230
01:30:46,857 --> 01:30:48,984
He said...

Thunderbolt Jim Lang (George Bancroft), wanted on robbery and murder charges, ventures out with his girl, "Ritzy" (Fay Wray), to a Harlem nightclub, where she informs him that she is going straight. During a raid on the club, Thunderbolt escapes. His gang shadows Ritzy and reports that she is living with Mrs. Moran (Eugenie Besserer), whose son, Bob (Richard Arlen), a bank clerk, is in love with Ritzy. Fearing for Bob's safety, Ritzy engineers a police trap for Thunderbolt; he escapes but is later captured, tried, and sentenced to be executed at Sing Sing. From the death house, he successfully plots to frame Bob in a bank robbery and killing. Bob is placed in the facing cell, and guards frustrate Thunderbolt's attempts to get to his rival. When Ritzy marries Bob in the death house, Thunderbolt confesses his part in Bob's conviction. He plots to kill the boy on the night of his execution, but instead at the last minute his hand falls on Bob's shoulder in a gesture of friendship.

1
00:01:56,866 --> 00:01:58,051
Eleven o'clock.
2
00:01:58,075 --> 00:02:00,035
I didn't know it was so late.
3
00:02:06,584 --> 00:02:07,751
Goodnight.
4
00:02:07,793 --> 00:02:09,503
Goodnight, dear.
5
00:02:19,180 --> 00:02:21,015
Oh, Bob!
6
00:02:24,185 --> 00:02:26,103
You've got my gloves.
7
00:02:27,688 --> 00:02:30,899
That's funny, there's a pair of gloves
in my pocket.
8
00:02:30,941 --> 00:02:32,776
Are these yours?
9
00:02:33,778 --> 00:02:36,030
Let me put them on for you.
10
00:02:41,410 --> 00:02:43,829
Bob, I really must go now.
11
00:02:47,208 --> 00:02:48,709
Goodnight.
12
00:02:48,751 --> 00:02:53,251
And, honey, you will be on time
tomorrow night, won't you?
13
00:02:53,297 --> 00:02:55,859
You were late tonight
and I was worried.
14
00:02:55,883 --> 00:02:58,510
I'll try awfully hard, Bob.
15
00:03:16,862 --> 00:03:19,865
Just drive down the street a bit,
I'll tell you where to go later.
16
00:03:25,162 --> 00:03:26,830
I'll tell you where to go right now.
17
00:03:26,872 --> 00:03:28,832
Police headquarters.
18
00:03:47,727 --> 00:03:49,770
Go on, get up there.
19
00:03:56,026 --> 00:03:58,570
Well, well, well, if it isn't Ritzie.
20
00:03:58,612 --> 00:04:01,281
This is indeed an honor and a pleasure.
21
00:04:03,868 --> 00:04:06,370
It takes so little to give some
people pleasure, doesn't it?
22
00:04:06,412 --> 00:04:08,247
Where's Thunderbolt?
23
00:04:08,289 --> 00:04:10,541
- Who?
- Don't try any of that stuff on me.
24
00:04:10,583 --> 00:04:12,293
You know who I mean.
25
00:04:12,334 --> 00:04:13,974
In case your memory
has suddenly left you,
26
00:04:14,003 --> 00:04:17,149
let me remind you of Jim Lang,
sometimes called Jim Carson,
27
00:04:17,173 --> 00:04:20,277
sometimes called... well, sometimes
called anything in the world
28
00:04:20,301 --> 00:04:22,678
but always known as Thunderbolt.
29
00:04:26,557 --> 00:04:29,619
I suppose that you've never even heard
of the Hellinger case.
30
00:04:29,643 --> 00:04:32,228
Or the million-dollar
St. Louis Terminal job.
31
00:04:32,313 --> 00:04:36,813
Or the time that he held up
the Iroquois Bank single-handed.
32
00:04:36,984 --> 00:04:40,404
He's wanted right now by nine states
for bank robbery,
33
00:04:40,446 --> 00:04:44,946
and there's two more that'd like to
talk to him on a little matter of murder.
34
00:04:45,242 --> 00:04:47,953
Now maybe you can remember who he is.
35
00:04:49,371 --> 00:04:52,165
Quit your stalling. Where is he?
36
00:04:52,208 --> 00:04:54,418
I don't know what you're talking about.
37
00:04:54,460 --> 00:04:58,297
Don't you try to Ritz me, Ritzie.
38
00:05:02,384 --> 00:05:04,196
Where did you see him last?
39
00:05:04,220 --> 00:05:05,655
I don't remember.
40
00:05:05,679 --> 00:05:07,449
Oh, you won't talk, eh?
41
00:05:07,473 --> 00:05:09,534
Well, maybe you can tell me this.
42
00:05:09,558 --> 00:05:13,538
Who was the other half of the bench picnic
in the park tonight?
43
00:05:13,562 --> 00:05:15,730
Bench picnic?
44
00:05:15,773 --> 00:05:18,525
I was in the park tonight
but I was alone.
45
00:05:18,567 --> 00:05:20,735
Your men must be seeing double, Inspector.
46
00:05:20,778 --> 00:05:24,114
Oh, my men were seeing double,
were they?
47
00:05:26,575 --> 00:05:29,828
Well, here's the other half
of what they saw.
48
00:05:38,671 --> 00:05:40,190
I've had enough of this stalling.
49
00:05:40,214 --> 00:05:43,235
You two have been meeting night after night
for months and I know it.
50
00:05:43,259 --> 00:05:44,986
Well, supposing we have been meeting.
51
00:05:45,010 --> 00:05:46,655
Being in love is no crime yet.
52
00:05:46,679 --> 00:05:48,490
Maybe not,
but being in love with her
53
00:05:48,514 --> 00:05:51,642
is apt to cause you a lot of trouble,
young fellow.
54
00:05:53,561 --> 00:05:55,437
I wonder if you know
that she is the girlfriend
55
00:05:55,479 --> 00:05:58,190
of the most notorious criminal
this state has ever known.
56
00:05:58,232 --> 00:05:59,918
She's been a member of his gang
for two years,
57
00:05:59,942 --> 00:06:01,360
ever since she met him.
58
00:06:01,402 --> 00:06:02,820
I don't know
a woman in this city
59
00:06:02,862 --> 00:06:05,281
that knows more about him
and his affairs than she does.
60
00:06:05,322 --> 00:06:07,824
I know all about that.
That's all over now.
61
00:06:07,867 --> 00:06:09,761
- Where's Thunderbolt?
- I don't know and I don't care.
62
00:06:09,785 --> 00:06:12,496
- What do you do for a living?
- I work at a bank.
63
00:06:13,622 --> 00:06:17,917
How would you like to lose your job
and maybe work in a penitentiary?
64
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,062
That's where you're headed...
65
00:06:19,086 --> 00:06:21,129
You let him alone.
66
00:06:22,256 --> 00:06:23,483
He's on the level.
67
00:06:23,507 --> 00:06:25,443
He's got nothing to do with that crowd.
68
00:06:25,467 --> 00:06:28,613
Listen, Ritzie, you're a smart girl
and you can save yourself a lot of trouble
69
00:06:28,637 --> 00:06:30,740
by giving us a line on Thunderbolt.
70
00:06:30,764 --> 00:06:33,201
You know we can make it pretty hot for you.
71
00:06:33,225 --> 00:06:35,537
You've got nothing on me
and you know it.
72
00:06:35,561 --> 00:06:38,355
If you had,
you'd have locked me up long ago.
73
00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:40,858
I'm through with that mob for good.
74
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:45,400
Whatever mistakes I've made,
I've paid for in my own way.
75
00:06:47,865 --> 00:06:48,907
What do you say, Chief?
76
00:06:48,949 --> 00:06:51,034
Shall I take 'em down and book 'em?
77
00:06:51,076 --> 00:06:52,577
Never mind.
78
00:06:52,620 --> 00:06:55,456
You can go now.
79
00:06:55,497 --> 00:06:57,540
Let her go.
80
00:07:08,427 --> 00:07:10,429
Goodnight, Inspector.
81
00:07:11,555 --> 00:07:13,223
And thank you.
82
00:07:19,939 --> 00:07:22,358
Don't let that dame out of your sight.
83
00:07:22,399 --> 00:07:26,361
Thunderbolt will go through an iron wall
to see her.
84
00:07:26,403 --> 00:07:29,114
And we want to be there
when they meet.
85
00:07:29,156 --> 00:07:31,616
There's always the chance
of nabbing him
86
00:07:31,659 --> 00:07:34,244
as long as she's out.
87
00:08:05,234 --> 00:08:08,320
Good evening, Mr. Th-Th-Thunderbolt.
88
00:08:08,362 --> 00:08:09,946
I got your phone call.
89
00:08:09,989 --> 00:08:13,409
- The the best in the house.
- All right, Oscar.
90
00:08:16,745 --> 00:08:18,788
Check your hat, sir?
91
00:08:19,957 --> 00:08:21,458
No thanks.
92
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:24,377
I never know
when I'm going to leave in a hurry.
93
00:08:25,587 --> 00:08:28,506
I always like to have my hat be with me.
94
00:08:30,801 --> 00:08:34,280
Say, boy, am I seeing right?
95
00:08:34,304 --> 00:08:35,907
Is that Thunderbolt?
96
00:08:35,931 --> 00:08:38,159
Does that mean
there's gonna be any trouble?
97
00:08:38,183 --> 00:08:39,244
Maybe not.
98
00:08:39,268 --> 00:08:41,770
I'm keeping one foot (unintelligible).
99
00:09:12,885 --> 00:09:16,406
Say, (unintelligible) Thunderbolt?
100
00:09:16,430 --> 00:09:20,930
He hits you with that big right soupbone
and just ruins you,
101
00:09:21,060 --> 00:09:23,520
all in one little smackeroo.
102
00:09:23,604 --> 00:09:25,522
That's why they call him Thunderbolt.
103
00:09:25,606 --> 00:09:27,858
Say, one little piece of lead
104
00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:31,612
and the littlest guy'
leave even
as big... The biggest man dead.
105
00:09:31,653 --> 00:09:34,656
Say, why don't nobody take a shot at him?
106
00:09:34,698 --> 00:09:37,409
Well,
the cemetery's full of them that missed.
107
00:09:38,494 --> 00:09:40,662
Let's have some real service, Oscar.
108
00:09:40,704 --> 00:09:43,415
And your r-r-regular order, sir?
109
00:09:43,457 --> 00:09:44,499
Right.
110
00:09:44,541 --> 00:09:46,459
What are you going to have, baby?
111
00:09:46,502 --> 00:09:47,628
Nothing.
112
00:09:48,754 --> 00:09:52,192
That means she'll have a chicken sandwich
and a glass of milk.
113
00:09:52,216 --> 00:09:54,468
Y-y-yes, boss, yes.
114
00:09:57,721 --> 00:09:59,908
What's the matter, Ritzie,
what are you sore about?
115
00:09:59,932 --> 00:10:01,409
I'm not sore.
116
00:10:01,433 --> 00:10:03,810
What good would it do if I were?
117
00:10:07,272 --> 00:10:08,356
What are you looking at?
118
00:10:08,398 --> 00:10:12,777
I'm looking at nothing,
and it's wearing a tuxedo.
119
00:10:14,863 --> 00:10:15,989
Who are you talking to?
120
00:10:16,031 --> 00:10:18,259
Stay right with him, baby.
Don't let him get away with anything.
121
00:10:18,283 --> 00:10:20,410
You might be lightning
to a lot of people,
122
00:10:20,452 --> 00:10:23,580
but you're just a wet match to me.
123
00:10:37,094 --> 00:10:39,280
Say, you big bozo.
124
00:10:39,304 --> 00:10:41,533
That ain't no way to treat a lady.
125
00:10:41,557 --> 00:10:42,599
No?
126
00:10:44,226 --> 00:10:45,268
Give me that gun.
127
00:10:49,398 --> 00:10:52,943
So you don't like the way I treat a lady,
huh?
128
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,699
I ain't gonna wait
for that ham sandwich another minute.
129
00:10:58,740 --> 00:11:00,199
I ain't hungry. Is you?
130
00:11:00,242 --> 00:11:01,886
Oh boy, somebody better call an ambulance.
131
00:11:01,910 --> 00:11:04,203
You wait till I get home,
I'm gonna tell my husband.
132
00:11:04,246 --> 00:11:07,290
L-I-lady, why don't you stop?
133
00:11:07,332 --> 00:11:09,769
- There's gonna be trouble in here in a minute.
- I'm all wet.
134
00:11:09,793 --> 00:11:12,587
I told you he was gon' hit her.
135
00:11:12,629 --> 00:11:16,132
- Take it easy, huh, be careful.
- Are they gonna shoot again?
136
00:11:19,219 --> 00:11:21,239
- Snapper.
- Wait a minute.
137
00:11:21,263 --> 00:11:22,740
Get back there.
138
00:11:22,764 --> 00:11:25,285
Where do you guys think you're going?
139
00:11:25,309 --> 00:11:26,578
Watch 'em, Jimmy.
140
00:11:26,602 --> 00:11:28,204
I wanna go home.
141
00:11:28,228 --> 00:11:29,270
Sit down.
142
00:11:29,313 --> 00:11:32,733
Hey, the two of you men,
143
00:11:32,774 --> 00:11:34,692
clean up this mess out here.
144
00:11:34,735 --> 00:11:36,278
(unintelligible).
145
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,696
Everything all right, chief?
146
00:11:37,738 --> 00:11:38,905
Tough crowd here tonight.
147
00:11:38,947 --> 00:11:40,633
Yeah, how do you feel tonight, Snapper?
148
00:11:40,657 --> 00:11:42,367
Oh, fine, chief.
149
00:11:42,409 --> 00:11:43,827
Hello there, Ritzie.
150
00:11:43,869 --> 00:11:45,036
Have some nuts.
151
00:11:45,078 --> 00:11:46,245
Great for the system.
152
00:11:46,288 --> 00:11:48,415
Fills up the body.
153
00:11:48,457 --> 00:11:50,709
How about your mind?
154
00:11:55,172 --> 00:11:57,066
What do we do with her, Snapper?
155
00:11:57,090 --> 00:12:01,362
Oh, drag that cluck outta here, will ya?
156
00:12:01,386 --> 00:12:04,490
A couple of yous guys.
157
00:12:04,514 --> 00:12:06,265
Let me help you, Snapper.
158
00:12:07,142 --> 00:12:09,329
Hey, lay off that, will ya?
159
00:12:09,353 --> 00:12:11,897
That's my trigger finger.
160
00:12:11,939 --> 00:12:14,191
What a fine night this is.
161
00:12:15,234 --> 00:12:18,237
Oh, uh, listen up, boy.
162
00:12:18,278 --> 00:12:21,197
Oh, uh, oh, uh, get out of here.
163
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,282
Music, boys.
164
00:12:29,706 --> 00:12:33,251
I suppose you thought it was funny
starting that ruckus.
165
00:12:34,127 --> 00:12:37,023
Strikes me you could stand
a little cooling off.
166
00:12:37,047 --> 00:12:39,067
How would you like
a dose of it yourself?
167
00:12:39,091 --> 00:12:40,151
Go right ahead.
168
00:12:40,175 --> 00:12:42,760
I wouldn't put it past you for a minute.
169
00:12:49,393 --> 00:12:53,438
<i>When night is creepin'
and I should be sleepin' in bed</i>
170
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,608
What are you trying to do, baby,
get me sore?
171
00:12:56,650 --> 00:13:00,713
<i>If you were peepin'
you'd find that I'm weepin' instead</i>
172
00:13:00,737 --> 00:13:03,573
Jim, I'm going to quit.
173
00:13:03,615 --> 00:13:05,241
What, again?
174
00:13:05,284 --> 00:13:06,493
I mean it this time.
175
00:13:06,535 --> 00:13:08,245
I've been trying to tell you.
176
00:13:08,287 --> 00:13:10,539
I'm not going on with it anymore.
177
00:13:10,580 --> 00:13:13,082
- <i>I'm</i> through.
<i>- Night after night</i>
178
00:13:13,125 --> 00:13:14,543
Through with what?
179
00:13:14,584 --> 00:13:17,897
What are you talking about?
180
00:13:17,921 --> 00:13:19,399
All this.
181
00:13:19,423 --> 00:13:21,401
These people.
182
00:13:21,425 --> 00:13:22,467
You.
183
00:13:25,887 --> 00:13:29,075
<i>No one can fill
that vacant chair</i>
184
00:13:29,099 --> 00:13:31,035
We're going to have this out right now.
185
00:13:31,059 --> 00:13:32,870
<i>When you're not there</i>
186
00:13:32,894 --> 00:13:37,394
<i>No need to knock,
the door is open for you</i>
187
00:13:38,608 --> 00:13:41,944
<i>-Please, daddy</i>
-We'll <i>find</i> a place where <i>we can</i> talk.
188
00:13:43,947 --> 00:13:44,989
Come on.
189
00:13:47,075 --> 00:13:51,162
<i>Daddy, do you have to roam so very long?</i>
190
00:13:51,204 --> 00:13:52,872
Come on.
191
00:13:52,914 --> 00:13:57,414
<i>There's lots of other new sheiks
who would like to be sheikin'</i>
192
00:13:57,961 --> 00:13:59,837
Come on, baby.
193
00:14:00,881 --> 00:14:05,381
<i>Daddy, daddy, daddy,
won't you please come home?</i>
194
00:14:08,597 --> 00:14:11,743
<i>Night after night, I'm or yin'</i>
195
00:14:11,767 --> 00:14:15,079
<i>Daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
196
00:14:15,103 --> 00:14:18,022
<i>Daddy,
won't you please come home?</i>
197
00:14:18,065 --> 00:14:22,069
<i>I'm so lonesome</i>
198
00:14:22,110 --> 00:14:25,196
<i>No one can fill
that vacant chair</i>
199
00:14:25,238 --> 00:14:28,532
<i>Home isn't home
if you're not there</i>
200
00:14:28,575 --> 00:14:33,075
<i>No need to knock,
the door is open for you</i>
201
00:14:33,955 --> 00:14:35,373
<i>Sweet daddy</i>
202
00:14:35,415 --> 00:14:38,626
<i>Even the clock keeps tickin'</i>
203
00:14:38,668 --> 00:14:41,981
<i>Daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
204
00:14:42,005 --> 00:14:46,505
<i>Daddy, do you have to roam so very long?</i>
205
00:14:47,552 --> 00:14:52,052
<i>There's lots of other new sheiks
who would like to be sheikin'</i>
206
00:14:52,140 --> 00:14:55,453
<i>Haven't slipped yet,
but I'm liable to weaken</i>
207
00:14:55,477 --> 00:14:59,977
<i>Daddy, daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
208
00:15:13,787 --> 00:15:15,747
I don't get you at all.
209
00:15:15,789 --> 00:15:19,584
You tell me you want to step out tonight,
go somewhere that's lively.
210
00:15:19,626 --> 00:15:22,045
I risk my neck
by walking into this joint,
211
00:15:22,087 --> 00:15:25,191
with all the cops
in the world on my trail.
212
00:15:25,215 --> 00:15:26,984
There's a 10-to-1 shot
there's a couple of dicks
213
00:15:27,008 --> 00:15:30,613
shadowing you right now to get to me.
214
00:15:30,637 --> 00:15:32,657
It's all right with me.
215
00:15:32,681 --> 00:15:35,326
I can take care of myself.
216
00:15:35,350 --> 00:15:38,895
But I do all this,
I take this big chance,
217
00:15:38,937 --> 00:15:40,563
and your idea
of the way to behave
218
00:15:40,605 --> 00:15:44,877
is to start that foolishness
all over again.
219
00:15:44,901 --> 00:15:46,569
What's the big idea?
220
00:15:46,611 --> 00:15:48,070
It's just this, Jim.
221
00:15:48,113 --> 00:15:50,448
I want to be decent again.
222
00:15:50,490 --> 00:15:54,160
Well, babe, you've always been
the most decent kid in the racket.
223
00:15:58,039 --> 00:16:01,917
You know, I used to get a big kick
out of being your girl,
224
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,896
out of knowing that
you'd take a chance on your life
225
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,213
just to see me
for a few minutes.
226
00:16:18,894 --> 00:16:22,105
You're the swellest girl
I ever knew.
227
00:16:25,317 --> 00:16:28,862
You wouldn't want to keep me
if I didn't want to stay, would you, Jim?
228
00:16:28,904 --> 00:16:30,947
Wouldn't I?
229
00:16:32,199 --> 00:16:36,661
I'd keep you with me
if the whole world didn't want you to stay
230
00:16:36,703 --> 00:16:38,663
and make them like it.
231
00:16:38,705 --> 00:16:40,665
That's just it.
232
00:16:40,707 --> 00:16:43,751
I don't want people to respect me
because they're afraid
233
00:16:43,793 --> 00:16:45,753
you'll crush their heads
if they don't.
234
00:16:45,795 --> 00:16:48,733
I don't want the police trailing me
wherever I go.
235
00:16:48,757 --> 00:16:51,968
I don't want people pointing at me
and whispering about me.
236
00:16:52,010 --> 00:16:55,281
All this Ritzie talk, boiled down,
means that you...
237
00:16:55,305 --> 00:16:57,366
You're ashamed of me, huh?
238
00:16:57,390 --> 00:17:00,976
No, just ashamed of myself.
239
00:17:01,019 --> 00:17:03,646
I want to know people
who are different from you and me,
240
00:17:03,688 --> 00:17:06,315
people who lead decent, normal lives.
241
00:17:06,358 --> 00:17:09,194
People who get up in the morning
to go to work.
242
00:17:09,236 --> 00:17:10,779
Regular people.
243
00:17:10,820 --> 00:17:12,905
Oh, don't be a fool.
244
00:17:12,948 --> 00:17:14,824
I don't care what you call me, Jim.
245
00:17:14,866 --> 00:17:17,326
That's the way I'm going
to live from now on.
246
00:17:17,369 --> 00:17:18,995
I'm going to quit.
247
00:17:20,372 --> 00:17:22,874
Well, let me tell you something, Ritzie.
248
00:17:22,916 --> 00:17:25,376
Maybe I'd like to go straight too.
249
00:17:25,418 --> 00:17:27,461
I haven't thought about it much.
250
00:17:27,504 --> 00:17:29,649
Maybe I don't know how.
251
00:17:29,673 --> 00:17:33,468
But as long as I'm going my way,
you're going with me.
252
00:17:35,262 --> 00:17:38,115
You're all I've got
that means anything to me.
253
00:17:38,139 --> 00:17:39,492
Do you think I would...
254
00:17:39,516 --> 00:17:42,352
Oh, come on, let's have a good time.
255
00:17:44,312 --> 00:17:46,897
You'll feel better
in the morning.
256
00:17:57,033 --> 00:17:59,702
Wait a minute.
257
00:17:59,744 --> 00:18:03,330
You haven't fallen for another guy,
have you?
258
00:18:03,373 --> 00:18:05,792
- Who is he?
- There is no other guy, Jim.
259
00:18:05,834 --> 00:18:07,627
It's just that we're through.
260
00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:09,837
You and me will never be through, Ritzie.
261
00:18:09,879 --> 00:18:11,566
Get that straight.
262
00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:15,528
You're my girl and nobody on earth
can take you away from me.
263
00:18:15,552 --> 00:18:19,448
Do you think you could hold me
if I didn't love you anymore?
264
00:18:19,472 --> 00:18:20,992
That don't worry me.
265
00:18:21,016 --> 00:18:24,787
It's the guy that tries to take you away
from me that's got the worrying to do.
266
00:18:24,811 --> 00:18:29,311
Oh, I know, it would be easy enough for you
to get your gang to do anything.
267
00:18:29,482 --> 00:18:33,777
That's one job
I wouldn't let anybody do for me.
268
00:18:36,740 --> 00:18:39,200
Come on, baby.
269
00:18:39,242 --> 00:18:41,327
Come on.
270
00:18:52,213 --> 00:18:55,651
I'd get that guy by myself
271
00:18:55,675 --> 00:19:00,175
if it was the last thing
in this world I ever did.
272
00:19:15,904 --> 00:19:17,196
Uh-oh.
273
00:19:17,238 --> 00:19:21,242
W-w—w-what... what's that n-n-now?
274
00:19:21,284 --> 00:19:24,245
I told you this was gonna happen.
275
00:19:24,287 --> 00:19:27,999
Hey, get off my foot.
276
00:19:28,041 --> 00:19:29,459
Find that light switch.
277
00:19:29,501 --> 00:19:32,003
Don't get excited, folks,
it's only a little raid.
278
00:19:32,045 --> 00:19:34,857
Everybody who can stand to pitch
will kindly keep their seats.
279
00:19:34,881 --> 00:19:38,259
Stand still there or I'll shoot.
280
00:19:40,929 --> 00:19:42,281
Don't move.
281
00:19:42,305 --> 00:19:43,699
I ain't movin', boss.
282
00:19:43,723 --> 00:19:45,975
I've been pushed.
283
00:20:09,833 --> 00:20:11,668
Where is Thunderbolt?
Come clean.
284
00:20:11,710 --> 00:20:13,002
Where is he?
285
00:20:14,587 --> 00:20:16,380
I don't know.
286
00:20:19,008 --> 00:20:21,969
And I don't ever want to know.
287
00:20:45,410 --> 00:20:49,789
I want you men to get this
and get it straight.
288
00:20:49,831 --> 00:20:52,166
It's been two months since Thunderbolt
got away from you
289
00:20:52,208 --> 00:20:54,960
and he's got to be found.
290
00:20:55,003 --> 00:20:58,983
Thunderbolt's girl's been living up
at Young Moran's house for weeks
291
00:20:59,007 --> 00:21:01,277
with the kid and his mother.
292
00:21:01,301 --> 00:21:05,801
Don't tell me that that kid doesn't know
something about Thunderbolt.
293
00:21:07,015 --> 00:21:08,826
Put the works on him.
294
00:21:08,850 --> 00:21:10,578
He'll talk
295
00:21:10,602 --> 00:21:15,102
when it's a question of talking
or being out of a job.
296
00:21:27,035 --> 00:21:28,578
Mr. Corwin wants to see you, Bob.
297
00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:30,622
Okay, Jimmy.
298
00:21:44,427 --> 00:21:46,489
You sent for me, Mr. Corwin?
299
00:21:46,513 --> 00:21:47,555
Yes.
300
00:21:48,723 --> 00:21:49,765
Sit down.
301
00:22:03,279 --> 00:22:04,280
Hello, Mom.
302
00:22:05,448 --> 00:22:07,825
- You're late, Bob.
- Yeah, I stayed overtime.
303
00:22:07,867 --> 00:22:09,827
- Hello, dear.
- Hello.
304
00:22:09,869 --> 00:22:12,162
I'm so glad you're here, Bob,
we were worried.
305
00:22:12,205 --> 00:22:14,790
Oh, I'm sorry, Mary,
but there's nothing to worry about.
306
00:22:14,833 --> 00:22:16,477
Everything was all right at the bank,
wasn't it?
307
00:22:16,501 --> 00:22:18,669
Everything was perfect.
308
00:22:21,506 --> 00:22:23,776
Yes, sir, everything was perfect.
309
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,737
- Until about 4:00.
- What happened about 4:00?
310
00:22:26,761 --> 00:22:27,863
Nothing much.
311
00:22:27,887 --> 00:22:29,740
I just got fired.
312
00:22:29,764 --> 00:22:32,284
That's why I stayed late
to turn over my accounts.
313
00:22:32,308 --> 00:22:33,452
You're joking?
314
00:22:33,476 --> 00:22:35,621
I'm not joking, it's the truth.
315
00:22:35,645 --> 00:22:37,438
What was it, Bob?
What was the matter?
316
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,901
Nothing, Mr. Corwin and I just couldn't
agree on how a bank should be run.
317
00:22:43,069 --> 00:22:44,779
It was on my account, wasn't it?
318
00:22:44,821 --> 00:22:46,298
Don't be silly.
319
00:22:46,322 --> 00:22:48,991
Tell me, Bob, I've got to know.
320
00:22:49,033 --> 00:22:51,201
They just told me
I'd have to make a choice.
321
00:22:51,244 --> 00:22:52,847
Either I'd have to give you up or else...
322
00:22:52,871 --> 00:22:53,955
Or else what?
323
00:22:53,997 --> 00:22:56,082
Just or else, that's all.
324
00:22:56,124 --> 00:22:58,376
Well, I'm glad you quit.
325
00:22:58,418 --> 00:23:02,213
I never could understand
why you wanted to stay at that bank anyhow.
326
00:23:02,255 --> 00:23:04,275
I don't think there was much chance
for you there.
327
00:23:04,299 --> 00:23:07,152
Wherever you go,
they'll always be finding out about me.
328
00:23:07,176 --> 00:23:09,446
Let 'em,
there's nothing to find out about you.
329
00:23:09,470 --> 00:23:12,283
You know, I always thought
you were too good for that place.
330
00:23:12,307 --> 00:23:14,767
They didn't appreciate you.
331
00:23:17,395 --> 00:23:19,438
Oh, don't start crying, dear.
332
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,333
You'll get your nose red.
333
00:23:21,357 --> 00:23:23,734
A thing like this doesn't bother us,
does it, Mom?
334
00:23:23,776 --> 00:23:25,778
We've looked for jobs before.
335
00:23:25,820 --> 00:23:27,298
I should never have come here at all.
336
00:23:27,322 --> 00:23:28,489
I knew it wasn't right.
337
00:23:28,531 --> 00:23:30,533
What wasn't right?
338
00:23:30,575 --> 00:23:34,120
Coming to live here
with you and your mother.
339
00:23:34,162 --> 00:23:36,247
You've been wonderful to me.
340
00:23:36,289 --> 00:23:38,666
And this is the way
I'm repaying you,
341
00:23:38,708 --> 00:23:39,792
getting you discharged.
342
00:23:39,834 --> 00:23:42,419
You're working yourself up
over nothing, Mary.
343
00:23:42,462 --> 00:23:44,815
What if I do lose a job now and then?
344
00:23:44,839 --> 00:23:46,567
What difference does it make?
345
00:23:46,591 --> 00:23:50,070
Come on, let's all go out
and have a good time tonight.
346
00:23:50,094 --> 00:23:52,698
Oh, Bob, your mother's
fixed a lovely supper for us.
347
00:23:52,722 --> 00:23:54,283
The lovely supper will keep.
348
00:23:54,307 --> 00:23:55,367
Bob is right.
349
00:23:55,391 --> 00:23:57,870
What you two need is to go out
and enjoy yourselves.
350
00:23:57,894 --> 00:24:00,289
Yeah,
we can't let a chance like this go by.
351
00:24:00,313 --> 00:24:02,690
I may not get fired again
for a long time.
352
00:24:02,732 --> 00:24:04,483
I've got some mending to do.
353
00:24:04,525 --> 00:24:06,318
You children go along by yourselves.
354
00:24:06,361 --> 00:24:09,030
Come now.
Come and get all dressed up.
355
00:24:09,072 --> 00:24:10,698
There you are.
356
00:24:16,371 --> 00:24:19,832
(unintelligible).
357
00:24:25,755 --> 00:24:27,900
Did someone knock, Bob?
358
00:24:27,924 --> 00:24:30,986
I thought I heard a knock.
359
00:24:31,010 --> 00:24:32,886
There's no one out here.
360
00:24:34,681 --> 00:24:37,117
Come on, get your hat, Bob.
361
00:24:37,141 --> 00:24:38,202
Run along, dear.
362
00:24:38,226 --> 00:24:40,353
- Have a good time.
- Goodnight.
363
00:24:41,396 --> 00:24:43,689
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight, Mom.
364
00:25:15,596 --> 00:25:18,283
Now, don't feel that way.
365
00:25:18,307 --> 00:25:20,475
Nothing important has happened.
366
00:25:20,518 --> 00:25:23,747
The thing that gets me
is that I was expecting a promotion,
367
00:25:23,771 --> 00:25:25,689
and you know what that meant.
368
00:25:25,732 --> 00:25:26,983
I'm not gonna wait any longer.
369
00:25:27,025 --> 00:25:29,861
As soon as I get a job again,
we're going to be married.
370
00:25:29,902 --> 00:25:32,112
There's no sense in waiting.
371
00:25:34,449 --> 00:25:36,409
Well, if it ain't the long lost child.
372
00:25:36,451 --> 00:25:37,469
Hello there, Ritzie.
373
00:25:37,493 --> 00:25:40,162
Well, it was a long time finding ya.
374
00:25:40,204 --> 00:25:41,622
I think you've made a mistake.
375
00:25:41,664 --> 00:25:44,208
You made a mistake, baby,
thinking you could keep out of sight.
376
00:25:44,250 --> 00:25:47,253
- Come on, Bob.
- So this is the old hideaway, is it?
377
00:25:47,295 --> 00:25:50,506
Well, I guess you know Thunderbolt's
been looking high and low for ya, don't ya?
378
00:25:50,548 --> 00:25:51,984
Why didn't you let him know
where you were?
379
00:25:52,008 --> 00:25:53,318
Drop him a postcard or something.
380
00:25:53,342 --> 00:25:55,112
I'm not interested in Thunderbolt.
381
00:25:55,136 --> 00:25:57,698
You're not, huh?
382
00:25:57,722 --> 00:26:02,222
And this is the Kewpie that made a sucker
out of Thunderbolt, huh?
383
00:26:02,643 --> 00:26:05,914
Well, I wouldn't be in your shoes
for all the rice in China.
384
00:26:05,938 --> 00:26:07,397
Stay on the level, Ritzie.
385
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,817
What have you been doing
with yourself all this time?
386
00:26:09,859 --> 00:26:11,277
Take your hand off her.
387
00:26:11,319 --> 00:26:12,504
Don't shove me.
388
00:26:12,528 --> 00:26:14,071
I'll shove ya.
389
00:26:14,113 --> 00:26:15,507
Well, I'll teach you to shove me.
390
00:26:15,531 --> 00:26:17,616
Look out, Bob, he's got a gun!
391
00:26:23,164 --> 00:26:24,641
Come on, Bob, let's go back upstairs.
392
00:26:24,665 --> 00:26:26,875
I'd like to take another sock at that guy.
393
00:26:26,918 --> 00:26:28,252
You've hurt your hand too.
394
00:26:28,294 --> 00:26:29,336
Come on, Bob.
395
00:26:31,714 --> 00:26:35,069
Did you fall downstairs?
396
00:26:35,093 --> 00:26:39,114
- Why, what happened?
- He fell downstairs, the poor man.
397
00:26:39,138 --> 00:26:42,201
I'd put a piece of fresh beef steak
on that eye if I were you.
398
00:26:42,225 --> 00:26:43,786
Well, you ain't me.
399
00:26:43,810 --> 00:26:46,705
My sister always puts a key
down the back of her neck
400
00:26:46,729 --> 00:26:48,480
to stop a nosebleed.
401
00:26:48,523 --> 00:26:51,484
I'll slip something down the back of
your neck if you don't leave me alone.
402
00:26:51,526 --> 00:26:54,195
Where's the nearest telephone
around here?
403
00:26:54,237 --> 00:26:56,781
Well, here,
don't you dare go near there.
404
00:26:56,823 --> 00:27:00,076
Oh, I just hate to see anybody hurt.
405
00:27:01,786 --> 00:27:04,079
Oh, now a squalling baby.
406
00:27:06,165 --> 00:27:08,041
Why, what's the matter?
407
00:27:08,084 --> 00:27:11,128
Nothing.
She talked me out of going out.
408
00:27:11,170 --> 00:27:13,463
You've hurt your hand.
What's happened?
409
00:27:13,506 --> 00:27:15,925
I guess I knocked it
against something.
410
00:27:18,803 --> 00:27:21,597
What's happened, Mary?
411
00:27:21,639 --> 00:27:24,118
We ran into a man I used to know.
412
00:27:24,142 --> 00:27:27,246
He tried to get fresh
and Bob had to hit him.
413
00:27:27,270 --> 00:27:29,814
Oh, I... I see, I...
414
00:27:31,149 --> 00:27:33,151
Well, we'll put something on it.
415
00:27:33,192 --> 00:27:34,419
- Don't bother, Mom.
- No, come on,
416
00:27:34,443 --> 00:27:36,088
we'll wash it out
and put some iodine on it.
417
00:27:36,112 --> 00:27:37,422
I don't want any of that stuff on it.
418
00:27:37,446 --> 00:27:40,240
Took a week for it to
wear off the last time.
419
00:27:41,826 --> 00:27:43,702
I don't want anything on it.
420
00:27:45,037 --> 00:27:46,913
That water could be hot.
421
00:27:48,207 --> 00:27:50,250
Mom, you treat me like I was a baby.
422
00:27:50,293 --> 00:27:51,919
That's all you act like
when you're hurt.
423
00:27:51,961 --> 00:27:53,045
Well, I ain't hurt.
424
00:27:53,087 --> 00:27:55,274
You got me mixed up
with the other guy.
425
00:27:55,298 --> 00:27:56,692
I'll bet you never touched
the other guy.
426
00:27:56,716 --> 00:27:59,820
Yeah? Well, no mother'
be able
to fix him up for a long time.
427
00:27:59,844 --> 00:28:03,013
That's what you say.
I'd like to see him to believe that.
428
00:28:07,143 --> 00:28:09,645
Answer the telephone, Mary.
429
00:28:18,446 --> 00:28:21,907
Mary, answer the telephone.
430
00:28:27,496 --> 00:28:28,538
Hello?
431
00:28:33,711 --> 00:28:36,088
How's every little thing?
432
00:28:40,676 --> 00:28:43,261
I'll be coming up your way.
433
00:28:47,767 --> 00:28:50,370
I can't, eh?
434
00:28:50,394 --> 00:28:52,771
I'll come right down.
435
00:28:52,813 --> 00:28:54,773
What for?
436
00:28:54,815 --> 00:28:57,317
It won't make any difference
to your boyfriend.
437
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,945
You might as well say goodbye
to him now.
438
00:28:59,987 --> 00:29:03,365
I just called up
to give you fair warning.
439
00:29:10,831 --> 00:29:12,976
- Let's put this iodine on it.
- I don't want any iodine.
440
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,752
Now hold still, hold still.
441
00:29:16,545 --> 00:29:18,296
Ouch. Ow!
442
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,277
Now look what you've done.
443
00:29:22,301 --> 00:29:23,820
All over my clean floor.
444
00:29:23,844 --> 00:29:25,679
I'll clean it up.
445
00:29:27,139 --> 00:29:28,325
Not my towels!
446
00:29:28,349 --> 00:29:29,993
Ouch.
447
00:29:30,017 --> 00:29:32,829
Do nothing but buy towels for this place.
448
00:29:32,853 --> 00:29:34,414
Look out there now.
449
00:29:34,438 --> 00:29:37,816
You know I keep
the floor cloths under here.
450
00:29:37,858 --> 00:29:39,067
Look at that iodine.
451
00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:40,486
You never can get that up.
452
00:29:40,528 --> 00:29:42,714
Well, I told you not to bring it out,
didn't I?
453
00:29:42,738 --> 00:29:44,030
I'd like to put some on your...
454
00:29:44,073 --> 00:29:45,908
Jiggers, Mom, I'm gettin' sore now.
455
00:29:45,950 --> 00:29:48,160
Well, what do you do if you get sore?
456
00:29:48,202 --> 00:29:49,846
Well, I'll show you,
I'm bigger than you are.
457
00:29:49,870 --> 00:29:51,580
Yes, well...
458
00:29:51,622 --> 00:29:53,892
- Give me the napkin.
- Not look, you'll get your hands all dirty.
459
00:29:53,916 --> 00:29:55,959
Give me that rag.
Give me that rag.
460
00:29:56,002 --> 00:29:58,629
I'm telling you, there's nothing...
461
00:29:58,671 --> 00:29:59,713
Bob, now, stop it.
462
00:29:59,755 --> 00:30:01,858
You're nothing but a big baby.
463
00:30:01,882 --> 00:30:04,152
NOW Will you stop it?
464
00:30:04,176 --> 00:30:05,218
Let go.
465
00:30:07,430 --> 00:30:10,617
Say, Bob, now who do you think I am?
466
00:30:10,641 --> 00:30:12,577
You're not fighting with
that fella down there!
467
00:30:12,601 --> 00:30:14,936
Yeah, I'm working with you, Mom.
468
00:30:19,775 --> 00:30:21,234
Stop it!
469
00:30:21,277 --> 00:30:23,570
Bob, please! Ow!
470
00:31:27,301 --> 00:31:29,219
Go on, get out of here. Beat it.
471
00:31:39,855 --> 00:31:41,356
I can't find her.
472
00:31:41,399 --> 00:31:44,568
Well, now don't worry, she's only gone
to the grocer's or something.
473
00:31:44,610 --> 00:31:47,446
I know, but she's been gone
such a long time.
474
00:31:47,488 --> 00:31:49,698
But here's her pocketbook and gloves.
475
00:31:49,740 --> 00:31:51,843
- She'll be back soon.
- Now, I'm worried.
476
00:31:51,867 --> 00:31:53,345
Well, I'm the one
that ought to be worried
477
00:31:53,369 --> 00:31:56,080
with the dinner getting cold
and everything.
478
00:31:56,122 --> 00:31:58,082
Do you think we oughta call
the police?
479
00:31:58,124 --> 00:32:02,169
Now, Bob, don't be so silly.
480
00:32:02,211 --> 00:32:04,922
She'll be back in less than no time.
481
00:32:08,300 --> 00:32:09,342
Hello?
482
00:32:38,664 --> 00:32:41,583
Katie! Katie!
483
00:32:42,835 --> 00:32:43,877
Yes?
484
00:32:44,753 --> 00:32:46,296
Are you calling me, Annie?
485
00:32:46,338 --> 00:32:48,150
You and Bill better come right up.
486
00:32:48,174 --> 00:32:49,925
The radio's working again.
487
00:32:49,967 --> 00:32:52,886
I'll be up in a minute,
Bill ain't home yet.
488
00:33:20,539 --> 00:33:22,832
Hey, listen,
I thought I told you to beat it.
489
00:33:22,875 --> 00:33:24,001
Now, come on, go home.
490
00:33:24,043 --> 00:33:26,211
I got work to do. Come on, boy.
491
00:33:26,253 --> 00:33:28,630
Nice little dog. Come on.
492
00:33:30,299 --> 00:33:31,735
Come on.
493
00:33:31,759 --> 00:33:34,136
Come on, come on.
494
00:33:35,346 --> 00:33:36,388
Come on.
495
00:33:38,098 --> 00:33:40,118
Come on, boy.
496
00:33:40,142 --> 00:33:41,578
Come on.
497
00:33:41,602 --> 00:33:42,829
Come on, boy.
498
00:33:42,853 --> 00:33:43,895
Come on.
499
00:33:47,316 --> 00:33:48,400
Come on, boy.
500
00:33:48,442 --> 00:33:49,484
Come on, boy.
501
00:33:50,653 --> 00:33:51,820
Come on!
502
00:33:51,862 --> 00:33:53,780
Come on, boy.
503
00:33:59,370 --> 00:34:01,121
Come on, boy.
504
00:34:01,163 --> 00:34:02,205
Come on.
505
00:34:05,376 --> 00:34:07,878
Come on, boy.
506
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,254
Come on.
507
00:34:09,296 --> 00:34:10,690
Come on, boy.
508
00:34:10,714 --> 00:34:11,756
Come on.
509
00:34:21,850 --> 00:34:24,102
Ain't he cute?
510
00:34:28,691 --> 00:34:32,695
I just love dogs.
511
00:34:43,998 --> 00:34:45,040
Come on.
512
00:34:48,127 --> 00:34:49,461
Come on.
513
00:34:49,503 --> 00:34:51,254
Come on, get out of here, get out.
514
00:34:51,297 --> 00:34:53,340
Go on, get out. Beat it!
515
00:34:54,383 --> 00:34:55,425
Stay out.
516
00:35:18,490 --> 00:35:20,051
Now, Bob, don't go near that door.
517
00:35:20,075 --> 00:35:21,659
I'm not going near the door, Mom.
518
00:35:21,702 --> 00:35:23,662
Come on away now.
519
00:35:33,297 --> 00:35:34,774
There's that bark again.
520
00:35:34,798 --> 00:35:37,068
Well, what if a dog does bark?
521
00:35:37,092 --> 00:35:39,279
I didn't know there was a dog in the house.
522
00:35:39,303 --> 00:35:41,823
Don't go out, Bob.
523
00:35:41,847 --> 00:35:43,992
Please, for my sake.
524
00:35:44,016 --> 00:35:46,768
Don't go out until Mary returns.
525
00:35:48,937 --> 00:35:50,332
What are you barking for?
526
00:35:50,356 --> 00:35:52,107
I thought I told you to beat it.
527
00:35:52,191 --> 00:35:54,234
You're going for a walk.
528
00:36:09,708 --> 00:36:11,251
You poor little mutt.
529
00:36:11,293 --> 00:36:12,544
Go on home.
530
00:36:12,586 --> 00:36:14,296
If you've got a home.
531
00:36:14,338 --> 00:36:16,131
I've got no time to play with you now.
532
00:36:16,173 --> 00:36:19,384
Put up your hands,
you're under arrest.
533
00:36:26,266 --> 00:36:27,600
All right, put 'em up.
534
00:36:29,144 --> 00:36:30,979
And keep 'em up.
535
00:36:33,315 --> 00:36:34,983
Frisk him, Bill.
536
00:36:51,166 --> 00:36:53,168
Slip the bracelets on him.
537
00:37:05,013 --> 00:37:06,574
Get back up there.
What are you doing up here?
538
00:37:06,598 --> 00:37:09,077
Go on, go wait upstairs.
539
00:37:09,101 --> 00:37:11,061
Go on, upstairs, everybody.
540
00:37:12,855 --> 00:37:15,023
Come on, keep movin' there, keep movin'.
541
00:37:17,609 --> 00:37:20,194
Wait up there, now go on,
now get back up there.
542
00:37:23,991 --> 00:37:27,703
Well, well, well, Thunderbolt.
543
00:37:29,163 --> 00:37:31,748
Long time no see.
544
00:37:42,801 --> 00:37:45,321
You guys are all alike.
545
00:37:45,345 --> 00:37:49,845
No brains, no brains.
546
00:37:49,933 --> 00:37:52,894
Your dame told us
you were coming here.
547
00:38:00,486 --> 00:38:03,572
A lot of help you were.
548
00:38:03,614 --> 00:38:07,326
To think it took a mutt like you
to send me up.
549
00:38:07,367 --> 00:38:08,618
I didn't know you had a dog.
550
00:38:08,660 --> 00:38:10,161
Is he yours?
551
00:38:10,204 --> 00:38:12,289
He is now.
552
00:38:12,331 --> 00:38:15,083
He cost me plenty.
553
00:38:16,460 --> 00:38:18,128
Ain't he beautiful?
554
00:38:18,170 --> 00:38:19,963
I wouldn't brag about him.
555
00:38:20,005 --> 00:38:21,756
Come on, boys.
556
00:39:00,462 --> 00:39:01,671
Let me go down there.
557
00:39:01,713 --> 00:39:02,714
Let me!
558
00:39:02,756 --> 00:39:04,359
What right have you got
to keep me back?
559
00:39:04,383 --> 00:39:05,425
Just stay back.
560
00:39:07,302 --> 00:39:08,363
Oh, Bob.
561
00:39:08,387 --> 00:39:09,781
What is the matter, Mary,
what happened?
562
00:39:09,805 --> 00:39:12,283
Go into the... go into the house,
go on, children.
563
00:39:12,307 --> 00:39:14,911
I wonder what she's got to do with it.
564
00:39:14,935 --> 00:39:15,977
I don't know.
565
00:39:41,712 --> 00:39:44,131
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
566
00:39:44,172 --> 00:39:46,442
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
567
00:39:46,466 --> 00:39:50,966
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
568
00:39:51,847 --> 00:39:54,349
<i>Brother, you ought to been there</i>
569
00:39:54,391 --> 00:39:56,870
<i>Yes, my Lord</i>
570
00:39:56,894 --> 00:40:01,394
<i>A-sitting in the kingdom
for to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
571
00:40:01,982 --> 00:40:04,335
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
572
00:40:04,359 --> 00:40:06,569
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
573
00:40:06,612 --> 00:40:11,112
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
574
00:40:11,533 --> 00:40:14,702
<i>Sister, you ought to been there</i>
575
00:40:14,745 --> 00:40:18,123
<i>Yes, my Lord</i>
576
00:40:18,165 --> 00:40:22,665
<i>A-sitting in the kingdom
for to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
577
00:40:24,630 --> 00:40:27,483
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
578
00:40:27,507 --> 00:40:30,236
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
579
00:40:30,260 --> 00:40:34,760
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
580
00:40:36,725 --> 00:40:39,579
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
581
00:40:39,603 --> 00:40:42,897
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
582
00:40:42,940 --> 00:40:47,440
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
583
00:41:02,334 --> 00:41:06,834
Say,
this piano will need tuning pretty soon.
584
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,756
Yes.
585
00:41:11,009 --> 00:41:15,509
I wish there were a way of telling
when a human being's out of tune.
586
00:41:22,646 --> 00:41:25,523
Couldn't be more comfortable at the Ritz.
587
00:41:25,565 --> 00:41:26,941
One-Way Street, huh?
588
00:41:26,984 --> 00:41:29,987
Everything coming in
and nothing going out.
589
00:41:44,459 --> 00:41:47,378
Now take care of yourself
and don't catch cold.
590
00:41:47,421 --> 00:41:49,256
Plenty of blankets here.
591
00:41:49,297 --> 00:41:50,775
And look out for pneumonia.
592
00:41:50,799 --> 00:41:53,510
Don't want to give this place
a bad name.
593
00:42:09,234 --> 00:42:13,613
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
594
00:42:13,655 --> 00:42:17,367
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
595
00:42:18,285 --> 00:42:22,785
<i>I want to go to Heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
596
00:42:27,836 --> 00:42:31,172
Hey, Number 3!
597
00:42:32,549 --> 00:42:35,236
Hey you, new guy.
598
00:42:35,260 --> 00:42:37,238
You're Number 3.
599
00:42:37,262 --> 00:42:39,323
You might as well get
me right from the start.
600
00:42:39,347 --> 00:42:42,744
I'm Number 1 anywhere.
601
00:42:42,768 --> 00:42:47,268
Well, Number 3 or... or Number 1
or whatever you are,
602
00:42:47,439 --> 00:42:50,775
do you sing tenor?
603
00:42:50,817 --> 00:42:52,151
Who me?
604
00:42:52,194 --> 00:42:54,362
I kill tenors.
605
00:42:55,864 --> 00:42:58,658
Oh, a tough guy, hey?
606
00:42:58,700 --> 00:43:01,119
Too bad you ain't a tenor.
607
00:43:01,161 --> 00:43:04,414
We had a swell quartet,
608
00:43:04,456 --> 00:43:07,041
but they took our tenor yesterday.
609
00:43:08,168 --> 00:43:10,336
Hey, Number 4.
610
00:43:10,378 --> 00:43:12,838
What does that new bird look like?
611
00:43:14,299 --> 00:43:18,780
Well, ain't much to be said about him.
612
00:43:18,804 --> 00:43:19,888
Pretty big.
613
00:43:21,223 --> 00:43:25,723
Got a mug on him
like they use to scare babies with.
614
00:43:25,977 --> 00:43:27,663
Looks like he cuts his hair with a...
615
00:43:27,687 --> 00:43:30,022
Oh, close your trap.
616
00:43:30,065 --> 00:43:33,544
Say, is that you, Thunderbolt?
617
00:43:33,568 --> 00:43:35,319
That's me.
618
00:43:35,362 --> 00:43:39,862
Reading from left to right, Thunderbolt.
619
00:43:39,991 --> 00:43:41,534
Who wants to know?
620
00:43:41,576 --> 00:43:44,829
Don't tell me that you've forgotten me.
621
00:43:44,871 --> 00:43:47,248
Wait, that sounds like Chuck.
622
00:43:47,290 --> 00:43:49,125
Is that you, kid?
623
00:43:49,167 --> 00:43:52,336
The kid himself, sure thing.
624
00:43:52,379 --> 00:43:56,192
Say, what are you in for, big boy?
625
00:43:56,216 --> 00:43:58,402
Being kind to animals.
626
00:43:58,426 --> 00:44:02,740
I just got too interested in a dog,
that's all.
627
00:44:02,764 --> 00:44:05,076
You know any more jokes?
628
00:44:05,100 --> 00:44:08,103
This place is for killers.
629
00:44:12,858 --> 00:44:14,985
Who is that, a friend of yours, Chuck?
630
00:44:15,026 --> 00:44:18,487
Friend of mine?
I should say not.
631
00:44:18,530 --> 00:44:22,033
How long you gonna stop in our hotel, Jim?
632
00:44:22,075 --> 00:44:23,993
About eight weeks.
633
00:44:24,035 --> 00:44:27,204
Anybody else in here I oughta know?
634
00:44:27,247 --> 00:44:29,374
Holler roll for him, boys.
635
00:44:29,416 --> 00:44:33,916
Joe Ripley, been here so long
I've forgotten what I'm in for.
636
00:44:33,962 --> 00:44:36,506
Kentucky Sampson.
637
00:44:36,548 --> 00:44:39,443
Caught on the 13th job.
638
00:44:39,467 --> 00:44:43,967
I was that good, the jury brought in a verdict
of guilty before they went out to lunch.
639
00:44:44,472 --> 00:44:47,975
I'm next door, Jim, Number 5.
640
00:44:50,103 --> 00:44:52,415
Hey, Pat, give me a light, will ya?
641
00:44:52,439 --> 00:44:54,649
<i>Everybody talkin' 'bout Heaven
ain't goin' there</i>
642
00:44:54,733 --> 00:44:57,152
<i>Heaven, Heaven</i>
643
00:44:57,194 --> 00:45:00,739
<i>Gonna shout all over,
goin' to Heaven</i>
644
00:45:00,780 --> 00:45:03,115
Leave those matches here, will you, Pat?
645
00:45:03,158 --> 00:45:05,034
I would (unintelligible).
646
00:45:05,076 --> 00:45:07,578
Sure, you know it's against the rules.
647
00:45:07,621 --> 00:45:11,291
And furthermore, my name is not Pat.
648
00:45:11,333 --> 00:45:13,376
- What is your name?
- Don't tell him!
649
00:45:13,418 --> 00:45:16,254
Make him guess!
650
00:45:16,296 --> 00:45:18,089
Number 6.
651
00:45:18,131 --> 00:45:21,676
Making my exit today.
652
00:45:21,718 --> 00:45:24,447
<i>I got a song, you got a song</i>
653
00:45:24,471 --> 00:45:27,366
<i>All of God's children got a song</i>
654
00:45:27,390 --> 00:45:30,912
Number 7 is at the piano.
655
00:45:30,936 --> 00:45:34,123
Special dispensation from the warden.
656
00:45:34,147 --> 00:45:37,668
Number 8, (unintelligible) Roberts.
657
00:45:37,692 --> 00:45:40,027
Murder in the first degree.
658
00:45:40,070 --> 00:45:42,113
Brought up by honest parents.
659
00:45:42,155 --> 00:45:45,491
At least, they was honest as far as I know.
660
00:45:45,533 --> 00:45:50,033
Absolutely on the level
until my 12th birthday.
661
00:45:55,335 --> 00:45:59,774
Number 9's still in the hospital, I guess.
662
00:45:59,798 --> 00:46:03,277
Number 10, now broadcasting.
663
00:46:03,301 --> 00:46:06,155
Bad AI Frieberg, that's me.
664
00:46:06,179 --> 00:46:09,909
I guess I don't have to tell you who I am.
665
00:46:09,933 --> 00:46:12,078
Maybe you should.
666
00:46:12,102 --> 00:46:14,288
I never heard of you.
667
00:46:14,312 --> 00:46:15,998
Don't kid me.
668
00:46:16,022 --> 00:46:18,107
Everybody heard about me.
669
00:46:18,149 --> 00:46:21,443
There was whole pages in
the papers when I was caught
670
00:46:21,486 --> 00:46:23,529
Pictures and everything.
671
00:46:23,571 --> 00:46:28,071
The Machine Gun Terror,
that's what they call me.
672
00:46:29,077 --> 00:46:31,954
Oh yes, I remember you now.
673
00:46:31,997 --> 00:46:35,166
The Machine Gun Terror, huh?
674
00:46:35,208 --> 00:46:39,420
Well,
down my way they call you Squirt Gun AI.
675
00:46:39,462 --> 00:46:41,630
I'll squirt gun you, you big stick.
If I ever...
676
00:46:41,673 --> 00:46:46,010
Oh, you big fat head,
I bet you bragged your way into the joint.
677
00:46:48,513 --> 00:46:49,824
Come on, Number 7.
678
00:46:49,848 --> 00:46:51,850
Back to your cell.
679
00:47:13,538 --> 00:47:18,038
As I was saying, I was absolutely
on the level until my 12th birthday,
680
00:47:19,502 --> 00:47:24,002
and then, well,
nothing much happened until I was 37.
681
00:47:25,008 --> 00:47:27,844
Then I blew up over a dame!
682
00:47:29,304 --> 00:47:31,657
You're not the only one.
683
00:47:31,681 --> 00:47:33,242
You said it.
684
00:47:33,266 --> 00:47:36,162
There's a dame behind
every guy in this joint.
685
00:47:36,186 --> 00:47:38,456
That was the trouble with me.
686
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,149
The dames wouldn't let me alone.
687
00:47:41,191 --> 00:47:45,691
I wouldn't be here now if two skirts
hadn't fell for me at the same time.
688
00:47:48,198 --> 00:47:50,450
Yeah, I know.
689
00:47:50,492 --> 00:47:54,992
Fell for you, you mean tripped
trying to get out of your way.
690
00:47:57,707 --> 00:47:59,625
Say, listen.
691
00:47:59,667 --> 00:48:01,669
I've had about enough out of you.
692
00:48:01,711 --> 00:48:05,066
I'd show you something if they let
me out of here a couple of minutes.
693
00:48:05,090 --> 00:48:06,567
You big cluck!
694
00:48:06,591 --> 00:48:09,153
What would you do, big boy?
695
00:48:09,177 --> 00:48:10,821
I'd do plenty.
696
00:48:10,845 --> 00:48:12,847
Don't you worry about that.
697
00:48:12,889 --> 00:48:16,285
I ain't afraid of you or that
phony right hand of yours.
698
00:48:16,309 --> 00:48:19,580
Sure you're not,
699
00:48:19,604 --> 00:48:22,523
with these bars between us.
700
00:48:33,868 --> 00:48:36,161
- Hello, Mr. Moran.
- Hello, Jack.
701
00:48:36,204 --> 00:48:38,372
- How are you?
- Fine.
702
00:48:55,056 --> 00:48:57,618
Well, what can I do for you?
703
00:48:57,642 --> 00:49:00,246
Well, you sent for me, Mr. Corwin.
704
00:49:00,270 --> 00:49:02,289
I did nothing of the sort.
705
00:49:02,313 --> 00:49:04,023
That's funny.
706
00:49:04,065 --> 00:49:08,319
Your secretary phoned the house yesterday
and left word that you wanted to see me.
707
00:49:16,453 --> 00:49:18,037
Miss Randall has gone to lunch.
708
00:49:18,079 --> 00:49:20,164
Is there anything I can do for you, sir?
709
00:49:20,206 --> 00:49:22,374
No, never mind.
710
00:49:22,417 --> 00:49:25,044
I don't see why she
should've called you up.
711
00:49:25,086 --> 00:49:27,671
There's nothing I want to see you about.
712
00:49:30,049 --> 00:49:32,968
Then I'm sorry I bothered you.
713
00:49:46,065 --> 00:49:48,233
Got a match, buddy?
714
00:49:56,451 --> 00:49:58,244
Take it easy, Moran.
715
00:49:58,286 --> 00:50:01,455
Come on there, all of you,
get your hands up.
716
00:50:01,498 --> 00:50:02,624
Keep 'em up!
717
00:50:02,665 --> 00:50:06,043
High up there, face the wall!
718
00:50:06,085 --> 00:50:08,670
Come on, do as I tell you.
719
00:50:23,478 --> 00:50:27,978
Even a bank ain't safe

00:50:29,526 --> 00:50:32,487

00:50:46,167 --> 00:50:48,085

- Good evening, chaplain.
729
00:51:32,088 --> 00:51:34,275
You seem happy tonight.
730
00:51:34,299 --> 00:51:36,968
Just got some great news.
731
00:51:38,845 --> 00:51:41,657
What would you call great news?
732
00:51:41,681 --> 00:51:43,033
Getting out of here?
733
00:51:43,057 --> 00:51:44,785
That doesn't worry me.
734
00:51:44,809 --> 00:51:48,062
I've always paid my way.
735
00:51:48,104 --> 00:51:51,000
What does worry you?
736
00:51:51,024 --> 00:51:52,525
Maybe I can help you.

You couldn't help me with this.

I've got to do this myself.

Come and get me!
747
00:52:32,774 --> 00:52:36,235
Get back, get back.
748
00:52:36,277 --> 00:52:38,779
You men will only get me into trouble.
749
00:52:38,821 --> 00:52:41,156
I'll handle this.
750
00:52:41,199 --> 00:52:42,867
Watch me!
751
00:52:42,909 --> 00:52:45,453
Now you turn over that gun
this minute, do you hear?
752
00:52:45,495 --> 00:52:47,079
This is my last warning.
753
00:52:47,121 --> 00:52:49,790
If you don't, we'll just
have to fill you full of bullets!
754
00:52:49,832 --> 00:52:52,292
Go ahead, that's what I want you to do!
755
00:52:52,335 --> 00:52:55,880
I don't care how I croak
as long as I beat you to it.
756
00:52:55,922 --> 00:52:57,650
Bad AI Frieberg!
757
00:52:57,674 --> 00:53:00,569
That's me!
758
00:53:00,593 --> 00:53:04,865
Now listen, AI, listen to reason.
759
00:53:04,889 --> 00:53:07,910
We've got to execute you tonight.
760
00:53:07,934 --> 00:53:10,412
Besides, you haven't got a chance, AI.
761
00:53:10,436 --> 00:53:12,915
That gun's empty.
762
00:53:12,939 --> 00:53:16,317
- How do you know?
- We caught the guy who sold it to you.
763
00:53:16,359 --> 00:53:19,070
I'll show you whether it's empty or not!
764
00:53:19,112 --> 00:53:21,531
Ah, don't point that thing at me!
765
00:53:21,572 --> 00:53:23,198
Bring on your gang.
766
00:53:23,241 --> 00:53:27,286
I don't care how I die
as long as I die shooting!
767
00:53:27,328 --> 00:53:29,621
Yeah, you'll die shooting.
768
00:53:29,664 --> 00:53:31,957
Shooting off your mouth.
769
00:53:31,999 --> 00:53:34,334
I'll get you too before I'm through!
770
00:53:34,377 --> 00:53:37,088
You ain't big enough, little boy.
771
00:53:37,130 --> 00:53:39,441
I'll fill you full of lead
if it's the last thing I do!
772
00:53:39,465 --> 00:53:43,965
Yes, and if I was the warden I'd take that gat
away from you and shove it down your throat.
773
00:53:44,512 --> 00:53:48,325
If I could only get close enough
to take a crack at you!
774
00:53:48,349 --> 00:53:52,849
You haven't got the nerve it takes
to crack a slot machine.
775
00:54:02,363 --> 00:54:03,697
Get out of the way, boys!
776
00:54:03,740 --> 00:54:05,158
Clear the deck!
777
00:54:05,199 --> 00:54:07,177
Give me that gun, you rat.
778
00:54:07,201 --> 00:54:09,620
Give it to you?
779
00:54:09,662 --> 00:54:11,872
I'll give it to you all right!
780
00:54:17,128 --> 00:54:21,048
<i>Rock-a—bye baby, on the treetops</i>
781
00:54:21,090 --> 00:54:24,945
<i>When the wind blows, the cradle will rock</i>
782
00:54:24,969 --> 00:54:28,824
<i>When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall</i>

00:54:28,848 --> 00:54:33,348
<i>Down will come baby, cradle and all</i>
784
00:54:33,436 --> 00:54:36,415
Here's a souvenir for you, warden.
785
00:54:36,439 --> 00:54:39,567
<i>When the wind blows, the cradle will rock</i>
786
00:54:39,609 --> 00:54:41,211
Get the doctor!
787
00:54:41,235 --> 00:54:42,903
You get back in your cell!
788
00:54:42,945 --> 00:54:44,154
Go on now!
789
00:54:44,197 --> 00:54:48,697
<i>Down will come baby, cradle and all</i>
790
00:55:04,342 --> 00:55:06,069
Thanks, Mike.
791
00:55:06,093 --> 00:55:08,864
My name is not Mike.
792
00:55:08,888 --> 00:55:10,848
I'll guess it.
793
00:55:15,186 --> 00:55:16,914
Just a little accident, doc.
794
00:55:16,938 --> 00:55:19,899
Somebody hit him.
795
00:55:19,941 --> 00:55:22,485
What'd he hit him with, a Sledgehammer?
796
00:55:28,407 --> 00:55:30,117
Looks a like a very dangerous concussion.
797
00:55:30,159 --> 00:55:33,662
It won't be fatal, will it?
798
00:55:33,704 --> 00:55:36,665
Listen, doc,
you've just got to see that this man lives.
799
00:55:36,707 --> 00:55:38,041
Do something!
800
00:55:38,084 --> 00:55:39,835
I've got to execute him tonight.
801
00:55:39,877 --> 00:55:42,504
Take him to the hospital
and put him on the table.
802
00:55:45,216 --> 00:55:47,801
He's certainly had a terrible shock.
803
00:55:49,345 --> 00:55:51,221
Be careful with him, boys.
804
00:55:54,976 --> 00:55:57,162
You shouldn't have hit that man so hard,
Jim.
805
00:55:57,186 --> 00:55:59,665
Don't worry about him, warden.
806
00:55:59,689 --> 00:56:01,399
He'll come out of it in a couple of hours.
807
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,651
I just tapped him.
808
00:56:04,694 --> 00:56:06,779
Well, anyway, I'm much obliged to you,
809
00:56:06,821 --> 00:56:11,033
and if there's any little favor I could
do for you, that is, within reason.
810
00:56:11,075 --> 00:56:14,745
Well, if it isn't asking too much,
811
00:56:14,787 --> 00:56:18,665
I would like to have that
dog of mine in here with me.
812
00:56:18,708 --> 00:56:21,419
Well, I guess we can
fix that up for you all right.
813
00:56:21,460 --> 00:56:25,960
<i>(unintelligible)</i>
814
00:56:26,215 --> 00:56:28,569
I thought I had that quartet broken up.
815
00:56:28,593 --> 00:56:31,989
But I no sooner get rid of one
than they send me another.
816
00:56:32,013 --> 00:56:34,992
You sure pulled me out of an awful mess.
817
00:56:35,016 --> 00:56:36,869
It was a pleasure, warden.
818
00:56:36,893 --> 00:56:40,163
I'd have been in a tough spot
if this thing had broken in the papers.
819
00:56:40,187 --> 00:56:42,541
Think of the scandal!
820
00:56:42,565 --> 00:56:45,276
I'll fix that dog thing up
for you in a day or two.
821
00:56:45,318 --> 00:56:48,029
<i>That brings me back again</i>
822
00:56:48,070 --> 00:56:50,572
<i>Down home where I remain</i>
823
00:56:50,615 --> 00:56:54,410
<i>Where my honey lamb am</i>
824
00:56:54,452 --> 00:56:57,079
<i>I will be right there with bells</i>
825
00:56:57,121 --> 00:56:59,498
<i>When that old conductor yells</i>
826
00:56:59,540 --> 00:57:02,251
<i>All aboard, all aboard</i>
827
00:57:02,293 --> 00:57:05,254
<i>All aboard for Alabam</i>
828
00:57:05,296 --> 00:57:09,796
<i>Alabam, Alabam</i>
829
00:57:16,933 --> 00:57:19,870
Couldn't be more comfortable at the Ritz.
830
00:57:19,894 --> 00:57:21,955
And don't you give me any trouble!
831
00:57:21,979 --> 00:57:24,398
I'm having trouble enough around here.
832
00:57:28,694 --> 00:57:31,530
I'll see you later, Number 4.
833
00:57:50,216 --> 00:57:52,718
Hey, Number 4!
834
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,077
He's calling you, new guy.
835
00:58:00,101 --> 00:58:01,954
You're Number 4.
836
00:58:01,978 --> 00:58:04,498
What are you in for, new guy?
837
00:58:04,522 --> 00:58:07,399
They were robbing a bank
and someone got killed,
838
00:58:07,441 --> 00:58:10,610
and they found a revolver in my pocket.
839
00:58:10,653 --> 00:58:13,197
You didn't have anything to do with it,
did you?
840
00:58:13,239 --> 00:58:14,531
Not a thing.
841
00:58:14,573 --> 00:58:16,241
That's fine.
842
00:58:16,283 --> 00:58:18,702
Now tell us another bedtime story.
843
00:58:21,038 --> 00:58:24,750
Hey, what does he look like, Number 3?
844
00:58:28,963 --> 00:58:33,402
Swing around there, buddy,
so I can get a good look at you.
845
00:58:33,426 --> 00:58:37,096
Don't be bashful, I'm not gonna bite you.
846
00:58:40,099 --> 00:58:44,413
Well, he ain't so bad to look at, I guess.
847
00:58:44,437 --> 00:58:48,458
He's got a face like those fellows
on the collar ads,
848
00:58:48,482 --> 00:58:52,611
and I ain't sure but what
he's got a dimple or two.
849
00:58:52,653 --> 00:58:57,153
Beautiful hair and kind of a mushy mouth.
850
00:58:57,366 --> 00:59:00,994
Looks like one of those lady killers,
if you ask me.
851
00:59:02,496 --> 00:59:06,996
The kind a silly dame is bound to fall for.
852
00:59:09,211 --> 00:59:11,713
What's your name, new guy?
853
00:59:15,217 --> 00:59:17,612
Moran, Bob Moran.
854
00:59:17,636 --> 00:59:19,512
Moran, huh?
855
00:59:19,555 --> 00:59:24,055
Say, ain't you the guy I been reading about
that stole Thunderbolt's girl?
856
00:59:24,852 --> 00:59:28,081
<i>Take me out to the ball game</i>
857
00:59:28,105 --> 00:59:30,982
<i>Take me out with the crowd</i>
858
00:59:31,025 --> 00:59:32,526
<i>Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack</i>
859
00:59:32,610 --> 00:59:37,110
It might interest you to know
the guy across the way from you
860
00:59:37,239 --> 00:59:40,992
is a party by the name of Thunderbolt.
861
00:59:41,035 --> 00:59:43,662
You two guys oughta know each other better.
862
00:59:43,704 --> 00:59:48,204
<i>One, two, three strikes, you're out,
at the old ball game</i>
863
00:59:49,418 --> 00:59:52,003
You put me in here, you framed me!
864
00:59:52,046 --> 00:59:54,465
You know I'm innocent, you're in on it!
865
00:59:54,507 --> 00:59:57,360
I'd like to get my hands on you just once!
866
00:59:57,384 --> 01:00:00,072
Just once, just once!
867
01:00:00,096 --> 01:00:02,741
<i>If I never get back,
let me root, root, root</i>
868
01:00:02,765 --> 01:00:04,618
You've got me wrong, kid.
869
01:00:04,642 --> 01:00:06,536
I've never done anything to you.
870
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:11,060
You're a dirty liar, you framed me,
you got me into this!
871
01:00:11,273 --> 01:00:14,776
I'm not afraid of you, I'm not scared!
872
01:00:14,819 --> 01:00:17,571
I'm not afraid to die!
873
01:00:28,499 --> 01:00:32,377
Over, lay over.
874
01:00:32,419 --> 01:00:35,380
Thatta boy, there.
875
01:00:37,508 --> 01:00:39,402
Say, Thunderbolt!
876
01:00:39,426 --> 01:00:43,865
If it's all the same to you, will you stop
teaching that dog to roll over and play dead?
877
01:00:43,889 --> 01:00:46,099
He's giving me the willies.
878
01:01:22,469 --> 01:01:24,489
Get the handcuff crew.
879
01:01:24,513 --> 01:01:27,576
Hey, up there on the upper deck,
front and center.
880
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:29,435
Yo!
881
01:01:38,736 --> 01:01:42,740
The district attorney wants to see you,
down in my office.
882
01:01:45,618 --> 01:01:46,827
What does he want?
883
01:01:46,869 --> 01:01:48,245
I don't know.
884
01:01:49,997 --> 01:01:53,583
Well,
I don't want him bothering me anymore.
885
01:01:53,626 --> 01:01:56,170
I got enough to worry about as it is.
886
01:01:56,212 --> 01:02:00,712
Well, you haven't got much longer
to worry about anything.
887
01:02:01,425 --> 01:02:04,571
So you've set the date for my kick-off,
have you?
888
01:02:04,595 --> 01:02:06,031
Yup.
889
01:02:06,055 --> 01:02:09,367
I've got two for the
week of January the 7th.
890
01:02:09,391 --> 01:02:11,995
Who's the other one?
891
01:02:12,019 --> 01:02:15,957
Moran goes on Monday
and you're set for Saturday.
892
01:02:15,981 --> 01:02:18,066
That's great.
893
01:02:20,152 --> 01:02:23,238
You know, I was glad that your lawyers
got you that temporary reprieve
894
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,490
so that you could be
around a little while longer.
895
01:02:25,532 --> 01:02:27,784
You don't take it so hard.
896
01:02:27,826 --> 01:02:30,370
But some of these other fellas...
897
01:02:30,412 --> 01:02:33,498
- Come on, get him out of there.
- Hey, warden!
898
01:02:37,419 --> 01:02:41,464
I may be seconds to death,
but you've got no right to make me listen
899
01:02:41,507 --> 01:02:45,362
to that same piece of music
every time that band plays here.
900
01:02:45,386 --> 01:02:47,447
It's cruel and inhuman.
901
01:02:47,471 --> 01:02:51,224
I come here for rest and recreation.
902
01:02:53,185 --> 01:02:55,789
You're just plain ungrateful, that's all.
903
01:02:55,813 --> 01:02:57,666
I'm sorry you ever came here.
904
01:02:57,690 --> 01:03:00,192
So am I!
905
01:03:03,654 --> 01:03:06,239
Come on, bring him out.
906
01:03:49,783 --> 01:03:51,993
Sit down, Jim.
907
01:03:55,748 --> 01:03:57,458
How are you, McKay?
908
01:03:57,499 --> 01:03:59,751
Let's get down to cases, Jim.
909
01:03:59,793 --> 01:04:02,128
You know me and you
know the kind of a man I am.
910
01:04:02,171 --> 01:04:03,255
Yeah.
911
01:04:03,297 --> 01:04:06,151
I don't want to send an
innocent man to his death.
912
01:04:06,175 --> 01:04:10,030
As a matter of fact, I'd fight just as hard
to get an innocent man out of here
913
01:04:10,054 --> 01:04:12,490
as I would fight to put
a guilty man in here.
914
01:04:12,514 --> 01:04:14,075
All right, I'll vote for you.
915
01:04:14,099 --> 01:04:16,578
What are you running for?
916
01:04:16,602 --> 01:04:18,812
This is a serious matter, Jim.
917
01:04:18,854 --> 01:04:20,749
It'll pay you to be serious about it.
918
01:04:20,773 --> 01:04:23,984
I may be helping to snuff out the life
of an innocent man.
919
01:04:24,026 --> 01:04:26,611
You mean you're sorry for railroading me?
920
01:04:26,653 --> 01:04:29,947
Several people have been to see me
about Bob Moran.
921
01:04:29,990 --> 01:04:34,490
He's the man you were going to kill
the night you were caught.
922
01:04:35,621 --> 01:04:37,748
I was going to kill?
923
01:04:37,790 --> 01:04:40,250
You got me mixed up with somebody.
924
01:04:40,292 --> 01:04:43,920
I make it a point never to kill any Morans.
925
01:04:45,756 --> 01:04:47,984
Then why did you go
to his apartment that night?
926
01:04:48,008 --> 01:04:49,819
I'll bite, why did I?
927
01:04:49,843 --> 01:04:52,530
You tell me, you know everything.
928
01:04:52,554 --> 01:04:54,449
That kind of an attitude won't help you...
929
01:04:54,473 --> 01:04:56,826
I'm not looking for help.
930
01:04:56,850 --> 01:04:59,978
When I want your help, I'll let you know.
931
01:05:27,005 --> 01:05:29,007
Do you know this lady?
932
01:05:30,717 --> 01:05:33,863
No, who is she?
933
01:05:33,887 --> 01:05:36,931
Bob Moran is my son.
934
01:05:40,769 --> 01:05:42,979
He's my only child.
935
01:05:46,608 --> 01:05:51,108
I came down here to ask you
to help me to save him.
936
01:05:56,243 --> 01:06:00,080
Well, I guess it's no use, is it?
937
01:06:00,122 --> 01:06:03,667
What's the idea of pulling
this sob stuff on me?
938
01:06:03,709 --> 01:06:05,794
Just a minute.
939
01:06:12,551 --> 01:06:15,738
Oh, Mary.
940
01:06:15,762 --> 01:06:17,221
Oh!
941
01:06:21,310 --> 01:06:23,937
Jim, you're not going
through with this, are you?
942
01:06:23,979 --> 01:06:26,940
What are you talking about?
943
01:06:27,024 --> 01:06:28,316
I know you, Jim.
944
01:06:28,358 --> 01:06:31,903
You're a killer, but you were always fair.
945
01:06:31,945 --> 01:06:33,655
You were never mean.
946
01:06:33,697 --> 01:06:35,699
You were never cruel.
947
01:06:35,741 --> 01:06:38,452
Have I got to listen
to all this junk, warden?
948
01:06:38,494 --> 01:06:40,871
No, not if you don't want to.
949
01:06:40,913 --> 01:06:42,873
You listen to me, Jim.
950
01:06:42,915 --> 01:06:45,792
You had Bob framed for that killing.
951
01:06:45,834 --> 01:06:48,044
You said you would get him and you did.
952
01:06:48,086 --> 01:06:50,254
What's the idea?
953
01:06:50,297 --> 01:06:53,383
What are you trying
to frame up on me here?
954
01:07:00,057 --> 01:07:04,037
I guess that'll be all, warden.
955
01:07:04,061 --> 01:07:05,937
Oh, Mary.
956
01:07:13,946 --> 01:07:17,199
Jim, those two women need that boy.
957
01:07:17,241 --> 01:07:21,741
If there's anything you can say
that will help them, say it now.
958
01:07:24,122 --> 01:07:26,624
Home, James.
959
01:07:39,805 --> 01:07:44,244
I don't see how I can
win him off for you folks.
960
01:07:44,268 --> 01:07:48,164
You mean,
you mean you won't reopen the case?
961
01:07:48,188 --> 01:07:50,416
There's nothing I can do.
962
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:52,608
The only chance we had
was for him to confess.
963
01:07:52,651 --> 01:07:54,277
But it was clear from his attitude.
964
01:07:54,319 --> 01:07:57,989
- Surely you could see...
- Attitudes don't count, I'm sorry.
965
01:07:58,031 --> 01:08:00,450
We need evidence.
966
01:08:28,478 --> 01:08:30,813
All right, lock him up!
967
01:08:58,050 --> 01:09:00,486
I guess you'd like to get close to Moran,
wouldn't you?
968
01:09:00,510 --> 01:09:02,155
Well, you're not going to!
969
01:09:02,179 --> 01:09:03,865
Why not?
970
01:09:03,889 --> 01:09:05,098
I wouldn't hurt him.
971
01:09:05,140 --> 01:09:06,909
Not much, you wouldn't.
972
01:09:06,933 --> 01:09:08,703
I can't quite get your angle.
973
01:09:08,727 --> 01:09:11,080
Aren't you satisfied he's
going to be executed?
974
01:09:11,104 --> 01:09:12,540
What more do you want?
975
01:09:12,564 --> 01:09:15,650
I don't settle my debts that way.
976
01:09:15,692 --> 01:09:18,277
I'm going to get him myself.
977
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:21,197
If you ever get any closer to him
than you are right now,
978
01:09:21,239 --> 01:09:23,866
it'll be over my dead body!
979
01:10:03,031 --> 01:10:07,531
Dearly beloved, we are gathered together
here in sight of God
980
01:10:08,370 --> 01:10:12,870
and in the face of this company to join together
this man and this woman in holy matrimony,
981
01:10:16,253 --> 01:10:20,753
which is an honorable estate
and is not by any to be entered into
982
01:10:20,966 --> 01:10:25,466
unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently.
983
01:10:26,179 --> 01:10:30,679
Into this holy estate, these two
persons present come now to be joined.
984
01:10:31,309 --> 01:10:35,809
If any man can show just cause why
they may not lawfully be joined together,
985
01:10:36,606 --> 01:10:41,106
let him now speak or else hereafter
forever hold his peace.
986
01:10:43,321 --> 01:10:46,907
Wilt thou have this woman
to be thy wedded wife?
987
01:10:46,950 --> 01:10:51,450
Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor
and keep her in sickness and in health,
988
01:10:53,582 --> 01:10:58,082
and forsaking all others, keep thee only
unto her so long as you both shall live?
989
01:11:02,174 --> 01:11:03,651
I Will.
990
01:11:03,675 --> 01:11:06,946
Wilt thou have this man
to be thy wedded husband?
991
01:11:06,970 --> 01:11:11,470
Wilt thou obey him and serve him, love,
honor, and keep him in sickness and in health,
992
01:11:14,102 --> 01:11:18,602
and forsaking all others, keep thee only
unto him so long as you both shall live?
993
01:11:22,611 --> 01:11:24,112
I Will.
994
01:11:24,154 --> 01:11:28,032
Who giveth this woman
to be married to this man?
995
01:11:29,868 --> 01:11:31,619
I do.
996
01:11:34,372 --> 01:11:37,041
Repeat after me.
997
01:11:37,083 --> 01:11:41,583
- With this ring I thee wed.
- With this ring I thee wed.
998
01:11:42,923 --> 01:11:47,423
- And with all my worldly goods, I thee endow.
- And with all my worldly goods, I thee endow.
999
01:11:53,016 --> 01:11:57,516
Those whom God hath joined together,
let no man put asunder.
1000
01:11:58,271 --> 01:12:02,441
I now pronounce you man and wife.
1001
01:12:02,484 --> 01:12:04,235
Oh, my poor children.
1002
01:12:04,277 --> 01:12:06,862
Oh, my poor children!
1003
01:12:06,905 --> 01:12:10,116
I'm sorry but your time is up.
1004
01:12:12,118 --> 01:12:13,744
You'll have to go now, Mrs. Moran.
1005
01:12:13,787 --> 01:12:15,246
Oh, my boy!
1006
01:12:15,288 --> 01:12:17,790
Just a minute, warden.
1007
01:12:19,835 --> 01:12:24,335
Let me be the first
to give them a wedding present.
1008
01:12:24,923 --> 01:12:28,444
Moran doesn't belong in here.
1009
01:12:28,468 --> 01:12:30,947
They were right.
1010
01:12:30,971 --> 01:12:33,765
I had him framed.
1011
01:12:39,729 --> 01:12:42,208
Jim.
1012
01:12:42,232 --> 01:12:44,234
You keep out of this.
1013
01:12:44,276 --> 01:12:48,776
I'm talking to the warden,
and get away from me
1014
01:12:49,239 --> 01:12:52,659
before I change my mind.
1015
01:12:52,701 --> 01:12:55,245
What did he say, dear?
What did he say?
1016
01:12:55,287 --> 01:12:58,581
He means that Bob is going to be free now.
1017
01:13:05,881 --> 01:13:08,174
You're to blame for this!
1018
01:13:08,216 --> 01:13:11,070
I've been in this racket now for 30 years
1019
01:13:11,094 --> 01:13:14,198
and this is the first time
I ever saw anything like this happen.
1020
01:13:14,222 --> 01:13:17,577
Four hours before an execution!
1021
01:13:17,601 --> 01:13:21,539
Before anything else happens, I'm going
to call up the governor and get a stay.
1022
01:13:21,563 --> 01:13:24,524
Maybe you better take my statement first.
1023
01:13:24,566 --> 01:13:26,234
I know what to do!
1024
01:13:26,276 --> 01:13:28,486
I've been running a jail all my life.
1025
01:13:28,528 --> 01:13:32,240
Don't you try to teach me my business.
1026
01:13:32,282 --> 01:13:35,535
Come on, you two,
you've just got to go now.
1027
01:13:35,577 --> 01:13:37,704
You'll have to leave now, madam.
1028
01:13:40,624 --> 01:13:42,292
I knew you'd come through, Jim.
1029
01:13:42,334 --> 01:13:44,252
Oh, leave me alone.
1030
01:13:44,294 --> 01:13:46,379
Oh, thank you.
1031
01:13:46,421 --> 01:13:49,006
Thank you, Mr. Thunderbolt.
1032
01:14:04,564 --> 01:14:06,649
Go on, close it.
1033
01:14:23,166 --> 01:14:25,251
You've done a wonderful thing, Jim.
1034
01:14:27,462 --> 01:14:30,882
Well, I've been here a long time now
1035
01:14:30,924 --> 01:14:35,424
and I'm shuffling off
at the end of the week.
1036
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:40,220
I've had a lot of time
to think things over.
1037
01:14:50,193 --> 01:14:52,195
Better lie down, Bob.
1038
01:14:52,237 --> 01:14:55,114
Try and get some sleep.
1039
01:14:55,156 --> 01:14:56,782
I wanna speak to him.
1040
01:14:56,825 --> 01:14:58,785
I wanna thank him.
1041
01:14:58,827 --> 01:15:02,080
I wanna shake his hand.
1042
01:15:02,122 --> 01:15:06,622
We'll shake hands on Saturday when I go.
1043
01:15:10,171 --> 01:15:12,381
Hey, Thunderbolt!
1044
01:15:12,424 --> 01:15:15,069
What's the idea, you going nuts?
1045
01:15:15,093 --> 01:15:18,012
I thought you didn't like that guy!
1046
01:15:25,937 --> 01:15:28,791
A little music, professor.
1047
01:15:28,815 --> 01:15:33,315
<i>Summertime, summertime</i>
1048
01:15:33,695 --> 01:15:38,195
<i>We will be together in sunny weather</i>
1049
01:15:38,366 --> 01:15:42,703
<i>Down the lane once again</i>
1050
01:15:42,746 --> 01:15:46,875
<i>Sweetheart, you and I!</i>
1051
01:15:46,916 --> 01:15:51,211
<i>Summertime, summertime</i>
1052
01:15:51,254 --> 01:15:55,754
<i>Wedding bells will chime</i>
1053
01:15:56,426 --> 01:15:59,196
<i>All will be sunny</i>
1054
01:15:59,220 --> 01:16:01,513
<i>Peaches, cream, and honey</i>
1055
01:16:01,556 --> 01:16:06,056
<i>In the summertime</i>
1056
01:16:10,690 --> 01:16:12,983
Aw, now don't argue with me.
1057
01:16:13,026 --> 01:16:17,526
I just left Thunderbolt playing checkers
with Moran and I know what I'm talking about.
1058
01:16:18,239 --> 01:16:20,407
He had to get Moran reprieved.
1059
01:16:20,450 --> 01:16:24,162
He's always had his mind set on
bumping off this cluck all by his self
1060
01:16:24,204 --> 01:16:27,999
and this is the only way he could do it.
1061
01:16:28,041 --> 01:16:31,252
You guys give me a pain.
1062
01:16:31,294 --> 01:16:33,713
No imagination.
1063
01:16:36,091 --> 01:16:40,591
He's gonna wait until they opens up the
door to take him for the last walk, see?
1064
01:16:42,472 --> 01:16:46,869
Then he's gonna go over to say goodbye
to the boyfriend.
1065
01:16:46,893 --> 01:16:48,871
Now, get me.
1066
01:16:48,895 --> 01:16:51,791
I'm Thunderbolt and you're the kid, see?
1067
01:16:51,815 --> 01:16:55,544
They opens up the cell door
and starts me for the walk.
1068
01:16:55,568 --> 01:17:00,068
Then I goes over to say goodbye
to the boyfriend.
1069
01:17:01,116 --> 01:17:03,952
I sticks out the left hand.
1070
01:17:03,993 --> 01:17:05,285
See, boys?
1071
01:17:05,328 --> 01:17:09,540
This is the minute
that Thunderbolt's been waiting for.
1072
01:17:09,582 --> 01:17:13,961
Well, "80 long, pal," I says.
1073
01:17:14,003 --> 01:17:18,503
And then socko right through the bar.
1074
01:17:32,272 --> 01:17:33,690
All right.
1075
01:17:36,359 --> 01:17:39,195
Hey, wait a minute.
1076
01:17:39,237 --> 01:17:42,156
This invitation is for
last week's execution.
1077
01:17:42,198 --> 01:17:46,698
What do you think we do here,
give out rain checks?
1078
01:17:46,870 --> 01:17:48,162
Out.
1079
01:17:51,624 --> 01:17:53,208
What a heart.
1080
01:17:53,251 --> 01:17:55,294
Good for a hundred years.
1081
01:17:57,380 --> 01:17:59,632
It oughta be.
1082
01:17:59,674 --> 01:18:02,259
It's only been jilted once.
1083
01:18:04,345 --> 01:18:07,848
She's Mrs. Moran now.
1084
01:18:22,989 --> 01:18:25,783
Hey, gimme a light, will you, Timothy?
1085
01:18:33,333 --> 01:18:34,500
What's the matter, Moran?
1086
01:18:34,542 --> 01:18:39,042
Aren't you happy
now that you're getting out of here?
1087
01:18:39,088 --> 01:18:40,798
I'm not worried about myself.
1088
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:43,652
I'm getting out in a couple of weeks
the warden said.
1089
01:18:43,676 --> 01:18:45,905
I'm worried about you.
1090
01:18:45,929 --> 01:18:48,640
Don't you worry about me.
1091
01:18:53,144 --> 01:18:56,457
Hey, Timothy, these clothes don't fit me.
1092
01:18:56,481 --> 01:18:58,083
Take a squint at them.
1093
01:18:58,107 --> 01:19:00,609
How do you think I'm going to look?
1094
01:19:00,652 --> 01:19:03,154
What do you care how you're going to look?
1095
01:19:03,196 --> 01:19:06,032
You're not going anywhere.
1096
01:19:06,074 --> 01:19:09,452
And my name is not Timothy!
1097
01:19:09,494 --> 01:19:11,078
Well, don't get sore about it.
1098
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:13,872
I'll guess it before I'm through.
1099
01:19:19,087 --> 01:19:22,882
Come on, boy, we got
a couple of minutes more to play.
1100
01:20:14,017 --> 01:20:18,517
Whereas... give me your attention, Jim.
1101
01:20:18,563 --> 01:20:21,065
Whereas at a trial time on the...
1102
01:20:23,568 --> 01:20:27,280
You don't need to read
that death warrant to me, warden.
1103
01:20:27,322 --> 01:20:30,450
I know it backwards.
1104
01:20:30,491 --> 01:20:32,261
- I beg your pardon...
- Don't you bother me now
1105
01:20:32,285 --> 01:20:34,662
when I've got my mind
full of a million details.
1106
01:20:34,704 --> 01:20:36,414
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir, no, sir!
1107
01:20:36,456 --> 01:20:38,207
Yes, sir.
1108
01:20:40,501 --> 01:20:42,669
I knew I'd forgotten something.
1109
01:20:42,712 --> 01:20:43,921
What do you want for lunch?
1110
01:20:43,963 --> 01:20:45,441
You can have anything you want, you know.
1111
01:20:45,465 --> 01:20:47,276
All we've got to do is to bring it in.
1112
01:20:47,300 --> 01:20:49,802
Lunch, what time is it?
1113
01:20:49,844 --> 01:20:51,238
Three minutes after eleven.
1114
01:20:51,262 --> 01:20:53,032
What time is the big show?
1115
01:20:53,056 --> 01:20:55,159
11:20.
1116
01:20:55,183 --> 01:20:59,496
So you're going to give
me 17 minutes to eat it, huh?
1117
01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:03,208
Well, I'm not going to bolt
my food down in a hurry.
1118
01:21:03,232 --> 01:21:07,732
I'd have indigestion all afternoon.
1119
01:21:07,820 --> 01:21:09,780
I'll tell you what I would like to have,
warden.
1120
01:21:09,822 --> 01:21:12,282
Anything within reason, Jim.
1121
01:21:12,325 --> 01:21:14,994
- I'd like to have a good shot of...
- Nothing doing.
1122
01:21:15,036 --> 01:21:18,456
The only stuff we've got is in the hospital
and you've got to be sick to get it.
1123
01:21:18,498 --> 01:21:19,582
Well, I'm sick.
1124
01:21:19,624 --> 01:21:21,667
Who's got a better right to be?
1125
01:21:21,709 --> 01:21:23,794
You are sick, aren't you?
1126
01:21:23,836 --> 01:21:26,046
On the level, you don't feel good, do you?
1127
01:21:26,089 --> 01:21:27,882
I feel terrible.
1128
01:21:27,924 --> 01:21:30,527
I feel like I'm going to die.
1129
01:21:30,551 --> 01:21:34,198
Hey, guys, Thunderbolt
says he don't feel so good!
1130
01:21:34,222 --> 01:21:36,724
He feels like he's gonna die!
1131
01:21:42,772 --> 01:21:46,275
Well, I'll see what I can do about
getting you a little something.
1132
01:21:51,656 --> 01:21:53,157
How do you feel, Jim?
1133
01:21:53,199 --> 01:21:54,325
Same as ever.
1134
01:21:54,367 --> 01:21:56,452
The same as ever?
1135
01:21:56,494 --> 01:21:57,953
Yup.
1136
01:21:57,995 --> 01:22:00,497
You and me can't do any business.
1137
01:22:00,540 --> 01:22:04,669
I've lived all my life
without what you stand for
1138
01:22:04,710 --> 01:22:08,213
and I guess I'll have to die the same way.
1139
01:22:08,256 --> 01:22:12,756
You don't mind my sticking around
in case you change your mind?
1140
01:22:13,136 --> 01:22:15,888
Make yourself right at home.
1141
01:22:15,930 --> 01:22:18,033
Hey, Thunderbolt.
1142
01:22:18,057 --> 01:22:22,371
What do you want us to sing
when you're going to your dance?
1143
01:22:22,395 --> 01:22:26,625
I don't know, what have you got?
1144
01:22:26,649 --> 01:22:29,360
Well, how about Brokenhearted?
1145
01:22:29,402 --> 01:22:31,987
That oughta fit you like a glove.
1146
01:22:32,029 --> 01:22:36,158
<i>There she is, my old gal</i>
1147
01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:40,700
<i>There he is, my old pal</i>
1148
01:22:40,913 --> 01:22:45,413
<i>And here am I, brokenhearted</i>
1149
01:22:48,129 --> 01:22:50,840
How do you like that?
1150
01:22:50,882 --> 01:22:53,050
That's not so bad.
1151
01:22:55,219 --> 01:22:57,763
How do you like it, Moran?
1152
01:23:10,276 --> 01:23:12,236
Here you are.
1153
01:23:24,081 --> 01:23:26,208
You better take this, warden.
1154
01:23:26,250 --> 01:23:28,835
You need it worse than I do.
1155
01:23:36,886 --> 01:23:39,323
I certainly did need it.
1156
01:23:39,347 --> 01:23:41,783
You ought to be glad
you haven't got my job.
1157
01:23:41,807 --> 01:23:44,601
You have no idea what I go through.
1158
01:23:57,949 --> 01:23:59,617
Don't you worry, boy.
1159
01:23:59,659 --> 01:24:02,536
It's me that's going, not you.
1160
01:24:02,578 --> 01:24:05,122
- Everything all set?
- Yup!
1161
01:24:12,797 --> 01:24:14,673
Let's go.
1162
01:24:24,684 --> 01:24:26,703
So long, Shorty.
1163
01:24:26,727 --> 01:24:27,829
See you soon.
1164
01:24:27,853 --> 01:24:28,997
Thanks, Thunderbolt.
1165
01:24:29,021 --> 01:24:30,374
Send us a postcard.
1166
01:24:30,398 --> 01:24:34,151
Sure, "X marks my room,
wish you were here."
1167
01:24:34,193 --> 01:24:36,820
Jim, aren't you gonna say goodbye to me?
1168
01:24:36,862 --> 01:24:39,155
Me not say goodbye to you?
1169
01:24:39,198 --> 01:24:41,575
I'll be back in a minute, Moran.
1170
01:24:41,617 --> 01:24:44,286
I'm saving you for the last.
1171
01:24:44,328 --> 01:24:48,165
<i>There she is, my old gal</i>
1172
01:24:48,207 --> 01:24:51,835
<i>There he is, my old pal</i>
1173
01:24:51,877 --> 01:24:56,377
<i>And here am I, brokenhearted</i>
1174
01:25:00,303 --> 01:25:04,616
<i>Mine in May, his in June</i>
1175
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:08,495
<i>She forgot mighty soon</i>
1176
01:25:08,519 --> 01:25:12,291
<i>And here am I, right here</i>
1177
01:25:12,315 --> 01:25:16,068
<i>Brokenhearted</i>
1178
01:25:16,152 --> 01:25:20,614
<i>The last time that we said goodbye</i>
1179
01:25:20,656 --> 01:25:24,534
<i>I knew that she was through</i>
1180
01:25:24,577 --> 01:25:29,077
<i>It's bad enough that I lost her</i>
1181
01:25:29,206 --> 01:25:33,706
<i>I had to lose him too</i>
1182
01:25:33,961 --> 01:25:38,423
<i>There they go, feel their joy</i>
1183
01:25:38,466 --> 01:25:42,779
<i>Happy girl, lucky boy</i>
1184
01:25:42,803 --> 01:25:47,303
<i>And here am I</i>
1185
01:25:47,642 --> 01:25:52,142
<i>Brokenhearted</i>
1186
01:25:59,528 --> 01:26:02,531
So long, pal.
1187
01:26:02,573 --> 01:26:06,243
I wish I could help you now, Jim,
the way you helped me.
1188
01:26:13,876 --> 01:26:18,005
Funny, sizing us two up,
1189
01:26:18,047 --> 01:26:22,547
nobody would ever think
you were the better man.
1190
01:26:23,427 --> 01:26:25,572
You're the better man, Jim.
1191
01:26:25,596 --> 01:26:28,116
You've taught me a let
these last couple of days.
1192
01:26:28,140 --> 01:26:32,640
You'll be seeing Ritzie soon,
won't you, Moran?
1193
01:26:36,315 --> 01:26:40,815
She's a great little girl, isn't she?
1194
01:26:41,153 --> 01:26:45,653
You were pretty lucky
to take her away from me, weren't you?
1195
01:26:46,617 --> 01:26:49,745
I didn't mean to tell you, Jim,
but I guess I will.
1196
01:26:49,787 --> 01:26:51,997
Somehow I think you ought to know.
1197
01:26:52,039 --> 01:26:53,832
I oughta know what?
1198
01:26:53,874 --> 01:26:56,585
I didn't take her away from you, Jim.
1199
01:26:56,627 --> 01:26:59,504
It was you that took her away from me.
1200
01:27:04,510 --> 01:27:07,155
I took her away from you?
1201
01:27:07,179 --> 01:27:11,679
We've always been sweethearts,
since we were kids, and then she met you.
1202
01:27:12,601 --> 01:27:16,498
I didn't amount to much
and she thought you were wonderful.
1203
01:27:16,522 --> 01:27:21,022
She never told me anything about that.
1204
01:27:23,195 --> 01:27:26,198
I guess I was nothing to brag about.
1205
01:27:32,163 --> 01:27:36,663
I always did have a peculiar habit of
taking things that didn't belong to me.
1206
01:27:40,004 --> 01:27:42,589
That's why I'm here.
1207
01:27:53,225 --> 01:27:57,725
You're kinda crazy about her, aren't you?
1208
01:27:57,855 --> 01:28:01,042
I love her, Jim.
1209
01:28:01,066 --> 01:28:05,566
Well, I guess I do too.
1210
01:28:05,696 --> 01:28:08,365
I still do.
1211
01:28:20,169 --> 01:28:21,795
Good luck, kid.
1212
01:28:21,837 --> 01:28:24,089
Good luck to you both.
1213
01:28:24,131 --> 01:28:27,134
Give her my love.
1214
01:28:27,176 --> 01:28:30,304
And take care of her, whatever you do.
1215
01:28:54,912 --> 01:28:59,412
Well, chaplain,
I might as well give you a break too.
1216
01:28:59,875 --> 01:29:01,918
Come on.
1217
01:29:27,736 --> 01:29:30,029
So long, old timer.
1218
01:29:30,072 --> 01:29:33,241
And don't take any wooden biscuits.
1219
01:29:39,039 --> 01:29:41,124
Hey, Dinty.
1220
01:29:41,166 --> 01:29:45,420
Come here, will ya,
and give me one more light?
1221
01:30:01,770 --> 01:30:04,791
Here, Dinty, I guess I'll quit smoking.
1222
01:30:04,815 --> 01:30:08,193
Thanks, and my name isn't Dinty.
1223
01:30:08,235 --> 01:30:12,322
And before you go, I want you to know
that my name is Aloysius
1224
01:30:12,364 --> 01:30:14,324
and you didn't guess it.
1225
01:30:16,076 --> 01:30:18,995
- Your name is what?
- Aloysius.
1226
01:30:22,458 --> 01:30:24,751
What did you say your name was?
1227
01:30:24,793 --> 01:30:27,754
Aloysius and you didn't guess it.
1228
01:30:31,342 --> 01:30:33,987
Who would've guessed it?
1229
01:30:34,011 --> 01:30:35,804
<i>No...</i>
1230
01:30:46,857 --> 01:30:48,984

Thunderbolt Jim Lang (George Bancroft), wanted on robbery and murder charges, ventures out with his girl, "Ritzy" (Fay Wray), to a Harlem nightclub, where she informs him that she is going straight. During a raid on the club, Thunderbolt escapes. His gang shadows Ritzy and reports that she is living with Mrs. Moran (Eugenie Besserer), whose son, Bob (Richard Arlen), a bank clerk, is in love with Ritzy. Fearing for Bob's safety, Ritzy engineers a police trap for Thunderbolt; he escapes but is later captured, tried, and sentenced to be executed at Sing Sing. From the death house, he successfully plots to frame Bob in a bank robbery and killing. Bob is placed in the facing cell, and guards frustrate Thunderbolt's attempts to get to his rival. When Ritzy marries Bob in the death house, Thunderbolt confesses his part in Bob's conviction. He plots to kill the boy on the night of his execution, but instead at the last minute his hand falls on Bob's shoulder in a gesture of friendship.

1
00:01:56,866 --> 00:01:58,051
Eleven o'clock.
2
00:01:58,075 --> 00:02:00,035
I didn't know it was so late.
3
00:02:06,584 --> 00:02:07,751
Goodnight.
4
00:02:07,793 --> 00:02:09,503
Goodnight, dear.
5
00:02:19,180 --> 00:02:21,015
Oh, Bob!
6
00:02:24,185 --> 00:02:26,103
You've got my gloves.
7
00:02:27,688 --> 00:02:30,899
That's funny, there's a pair of gloves
in my pocket.
8
00:02:30,941 --> 00:02:32,776
Are these yours?
9
00:02:33,778 --> 00:02:36,030
Let me put them on for you.
10
00:02:41,410 --> 00:02:43,829
Bob, I really must go now.
11
00:02:47,208 --> 00:02:48,709
Goodnight.
12
00:02:48,751 --> 00:02:53,251
And, honey, you will be on time
tomorrow night, won't you?
13
00:02:53,297 --> 00:02:55,859
You were late tonight
and I was worried.
14
00:02:55,883 --> 00:02:58,510
I'll try awfully hard, Bob.
15
00:03:16,862 --> 00:03:19,865
Just drive down the street a bit,
I'll tell you where to go later.
16
00:03:25,162 --> 00:03:26,830
I'll tell you where to go right now.
17
00:03:26,872 --> 00:03:28,832
Police headquarters.
18
00:03:47,727 --> 00:03:49,770
Go on, get up there.
19
00:03:56,026 --> 00:03:58,570
Well, well, well, if it isn't Ritzie.
20
00:03:58,612 --> 00:04:01,281
This is indeed an honor and a pleasure.
21
00:04:03,868 --> 00:04:06,370
It takes so little to give some
people pleasure, doesn't it?
22
00:04:06,412 --> 00:04:08,247
Where's Thunderbolt?
23
00:04:08,289 --> 00:04:10,541
- Who?
- Don't try any of that stuff on me.
24
00:04:10,583 --> 00:04:12,293
You know who I mean.
25
00:04:12,334 --> 00:04:13,974
In case your memory
has suddenly left you,
26
00:04:14,003 --> 00:04:17,149
let me remind you of Jim Lang,
sometimes called Jim Carson,
27
00:04:17,173 --> 00:04:20,277
sometimes called... well, sometimes
called anything in the world
28
00:04:20,301 --> 00:04:22,678
but always known as Thunderbolt.
29
00:04:26,557 --> 00:04:29,619
I suppose that you've never even heard
of the Hellinger case.
30
00:04:29,643 --> 00:04:32,228
Or the million-dollar
St. Louis Terminal job.
31
00:04:32,313 --> 00:04:36,813
Or the time that he held up
the Iroquois Bank single-handed.
32
00:04:36,984 --> 00:04:40,404
He's wanted right now by nine states
for bank robbery,
33
00:04:40,446 --> 00:04:44,946
and there's two more that'd like to
talk to him on a little matter of murder.
34
00:04:45,242 --> 00:04:47,953
Now maybe you can remember who he is.
35
00:04:49,371 --> 00:04:52,165
Quit your stalling. Where is he?
36
00:04:52,208 --> 00:04:54,418
I don't know what you're talking about.
37
00:04:54,460 --> 00:04:58,297
Don't you try to Ritz me, Ritzie.
38
00:05:02,384 --> 00:05:04,196
Where did you see him last?
39
00:05:04,220 --> 00:05:05,655
I don't remember.
40
00:05:05,679 --> 00:05:07,449
Oh, you won't talk, eh?
41
00:05:07,473 --> 00:05:09,534
Well, maybe you can tell me this.
42
00:05:09,558 --> 00:05:13,538
Who was the other half of the bench picnic
in the park tonight?
43
00:05:13,562 --> 00:05:15,730
Bench picnic?
44
00:05:15,773 --> 00:05:18,525
I was in the park tonight
but I was alone.
45
00:05:18,567 --> 00:05:20,735
Your men must be seeing double, Inspector.
46
00:05:20,778 --> 00:05:24,114
Oh, my men were seeing double,
were they?
47
00:05:26,575 --> 00:05:29,828
Well, here's the other half
of what they saw.
48
00:05:38,671 --> 00:05:40,190
I've had enough of this stalling.
49
00:05:40,214 --> 00:05:43,235
You two have been meeting night after night
for months and I know it.
50
00:05:43,259 --> 00:05:44,986
Well, supposing we have been meeting.
51
00:05:45,010 --> 00:05:46,655
Being in love is no crime yet.
52
00:05:46,679 --> 00:05:48,490
Maybe not,
but being in love with her
53
00:05:48,514 --> 00:05:51,642
is apt to cause you a lot of trouble,
young fellow.
54
00:05:53,561 --> 00:05:55,437
I wonder if you know
that she is the girlfriend
55
00:05:55,479 --> 00:05:58,190
of the most notorious criminal
this state has ever known.
56
00:05:58,232 --> 00:05:59,918
She's been a member of his gang
for two years,
57
00:05:59,942 --> 00:06:01,360
ever since she met him.
58
00:06:01,402 --> 00:06:02,820
I don't know
a woman in this city
59
00:06:02,862 --> 00:06:05,281
that knows more about him
and his affairs than she does.
60
00:06:05,322 --> 00:06:07,824
I know all about that.
That's all over now.
61
00:06:07,867 --> 00:06:09,761
- Where's Thunderbolt?
- I don't know and I don't care.
62
00:06:09,785 --> 00:06:12,496
- What do you do for a living?
- I work at a bank.
63
00:06:13,622 --> 00:06:17,917
How would you like to lose your job
and maybe work in a penitentiary?
64
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,062
That's where you're headed...
65
00:06:19,086 --> 00:06:21,129
You let him alone.
66
00:06:22,256 --> 00:06:23,483
He's on the level.
67
00:06:23,507 --> 00:06:25,443
He's got nothing to do with that crowd.
68
00:06:25,467 --> 00:06:28,613
Listen, Ritzie, you're a smart girl
and you can save yourself a lot of trouble
69
00:06:28,637 --> 00:06:30,740
by giving us a line on Thunderbolt.
70
00:06:30,764 --> 00:06:33,201
You know we can make it pretty hot for you.
71
00:06:33,225 --> 00:06:35,537
You've got nothing on me
and you know it.
72
00:06:35,561 --> 00:06:38,355
If you had,
you'd have locked me up long ago.
73
00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:40,858
I'm through with that mob for good.
74
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:45,400
Whatever mistakes I've made,
I've paid for in my own way.
75
00:06:47,865 --> 00:06:48,907
What do you say, Chief?
76
00:06:48,949 --> 00:06:51,034
Shall I take 'em down and book 'em?
77
00:06:51,076 --> 00:06:52,577
Never mind.
78
00:06:52,620 --> 00:06:55,456
You can go now.
79
00:06:55,497 --> 00:06:57,540
Let her go.
80
00:07:08,427 --> 00:07:10,429
Goodnight, Inspector.
81
00:07:11,555 --> 00:07:13,223
And thank you.
82
00:07:19,939 --> 00:07:22,358
Don't let that dame out of your sight.
83
00:07:22,399 --> 00:07:26,361
Thunderbolt will go through an iron wall
to see her.
84
00:07:26,403 --> 00:07:29,114
And we want to be there
when they meet.
85
00:07:29,156 --> 00:07:31,616
There's always the chance
of nabbing him
86
00:07:31,659 --> 00:07:34,244
as long as she's out.
87
00:08:05,234 --> 00:08:08,320
Good evening, Mr. Th-Th-Thunderbolt.
88
00:08:08,362 --> 00:08:09,946
I got your phone call.
89
00:08:09,989 --> 00:08:13,409
- The the best in the house.
- All right, Oscar.
90
00:08:16,745 --> 00:08:18,788
Check your hat, sir?
91
00:08:19,957 --> 00:08:21,458
No thanks.
92
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:24,377
I never know
when I'm going to leave in a hurry.
93
00:08:25,587 --> 00:08:28,506
I always like to have my hat be with me.
94
00:08:30,801 --> 00:08:34,280
Say, boy, am I seeing right?
95
00:08:34,304 --> 00:08:35,907
Is that Thunderbolt?
96
00:08:35,931 --> 00:08:38,159
Does that mean
there's gonna be any trouble?
97
00:08:38,183 --> 00:08:39,244
Maybe not.
98
00:08:39,268 --> 00:08:41,770
I'm keeping one foot (unintelligible).
99
00:09:12,885 --> 00:09:16,406
Say, (unintelligible) Thunderbolt?
100
00:09:16,430 --> 00:09:20,930
He hits you with that big right soupbone
and just ruins you,
101
00:09:21,060 --> 00:09:23,520
all in one little smackeroo.
102
00:09:23,604 --> 00:09:25,522
That's why they call him Thunderbolt.
103
00:09:25,606 --> 00:09:27,858
Say, one little piece of lead
104
00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:31,612
and the littlest guy'
leave even
as big... The biggest man dead.
105
00:09:31,653 --> 00:09:34,656
Say, why don't nobody take a shot at him?
106
00:09:34,698 --> 00:09:37,409
Well,
the cemetery's full of them that missed.
107
00:09:38,494 --> 00:09:40,662
Let's have some real service, Oscar.
108
00:09:40,704 --> 00:09:43,415
And your r-r-regular order, sir?
109
00:09:43,457 --> 00:09:44,499
Right.
110
00:09:44,541 --> 00:09:46,459
What are you going to have, baby?
111
00:09:46,502 --> 00:09:47,628
Nothing.
112
00:09:48,754 --> 00:09:52,192
That means she'll have a chicken sandwich
and a glass of milk.
113
00:09:52,216 --> 00:09:54,468
Y-y-yes, boss, yes.
114
00:09:57,721 --> 00:09:59,908
What's the matter, Ritzie,
what are you sore about?
115
00:09:59,932 --> 00:10:01,409
I'm not sore.
116
00:10:01,433 --> 00:10:03,810
What good would it do if I were?
117
00:10:07,272 --> 00:10:08,356
What are you looking at?
118
00:10:08,398 --> 00:10:12,777
I'm looking at nothing,
and it's wearing a tuxedo.
119
00:10:14,863 --> 00:10:15,989
Who are you talking to?
120
00:10:16,031 --> 00:10:18,259
Stay right with him, baby.
Don't let him get away with anything.
121
00:10:18,283 --> 00:10:20,410
You might be lightning
to a lot of people,
122
00:10:20,452 --> 00:10:23,580
but you're just a wet match to me.
123
00:10:37,094 --> 00:10:39,280
Say, you big bozo.
124
00:10:39,304 --> 00:10:41,533
That ain't no way to treat a lady.
125
00:10:41,557 --> 00:10:42,599
No?
126
00:10:44,226 --> 00:10:45,268
Give me that gun.
127
00:10:49,398 --> 00:10:52,943
So you don't like the way I treat a lady,
huh?
128
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,699
I ain't gonna wait
for that ham sandwich another minute.
129
00:10:58,740 --> 00:11:00,199
I ain't hungry. Is you?
130
00:11:00,242 --> 00:11:01,886
Oh boy, somebody better call an ambulance.
131
00:11:01,910 --> 00:11:04,203
You wait till I get home,
I'm gonna tell my husband.
132
00:11:04,246 --> 00:11:07,290
L-I-lady, why don't you stop?
133
00:11:07,332 --> 00:11:09,769
- There's gonna be trouble in here in a minute.
- I'm all wet.
134
00:11:09,793 --> 00:11:12,587
I told you he was gon' hit her.
135
00:11:12,629 --> 00:11:16,132
- Take it easy, huh, be careful.
- Are they gonna shoot again?
136
00:11:19,219 --> 00:11:21,239
- Snapper.
- Wait a minute.
137
00:11:21,263 --> 00:11:22,740
Get back there.
138
00:11:22,764 --> 00:11:25,285
Where do you guys think you're going?
139
00:11:25,309 --> 00:11:26,578
Watch 'em, Jimmy.
140
00:11:26,602 --> 00:11:28,204
I wanna go home.
141
00:11:28,228 --> 00:11:29,270
Sit down.
142
00:11:29,313 --> 00:11:32,733
Hey, the two of you men,
143
00:11:32,774 --> 00:11:34,692
clean up this mess out here.
144
00:11:34,735 --> 00:11:36,278
(unintelligible).
145
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,696
Everything all right, chief?
146
00:11:37,738 --> 00:11:38,905
Tough crowd here tonight.
147
00:11:38,947 --> 00:11:40,633
Yeah, how do you feel tonight, Snapper?
148
00:11:40,657 --> 00:11:42,367
Oh, fine, chief.
149
00:11:42,409 --> 00:11:43,827
Hello there, Ritzie.
150
00:11:43,869 --> 00:11:45,036
Have some nuts.
151
00:11:45,078 --> 00:11:46,245
Great for the system.
152
00:11:46,288 --> 00:11:48,415
Fills up the body.
153
00:11:48,457 --> 00:11:50,709
How about your mind?
154
00:11:55,172 --> 00:11:57,066
What do we do with her, Snapper?
155
00:11:57,090 --> 00:12:01,362
Oh, drag that cluck outta here, will ya?
156
00:12:01,386 --> 00:12:04,490
A couple of yous guys.
157
00:12:04,514 --> 00:12:06,265
Let me help you, Snapper.
158
00:12:07,142 --> 00:12:09,329
Hey, lay off that, will ya?
159
00:12:09,353 --> 00:12:11,897
That's my trigger finger.
160
00:12:11,939 --> 00:12:14,191
What a fine night this is.
161
00:12:15,234 --> 00:12:18,237
Oh, uh, listen up, boy.
162
00:12:18,278 --> 00:12:21,197
Oh, uh, oh, uh, get out of here.
163
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,282
Music, boys.
164
00:12:29,706 --> 00:12:33,251
I suppose you thought it was funny
starting that ruckus.
165
00:12:34,127 --> 00:12:37,023
Strikes me you could stand
a little cooling off.
166
00:12:37,047 --> 00:12:39,067
How would you like
a dose of it yourself?
167
00:12:39,091 --> 00:12:40,151
Go right ahead.
168
00:12:40,175 --> 00:12:42,760
I wouldn't put it past you for a minute.
169
00:12:49,393 --> 00:12:53,438
<i>When night is creepin'
and I should be sleepin' in bed</i>
170
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,608
What are you trying to do, baby,
get me sore?
171
00:12:56,650 --> 00:13:00,713
<i>If you were peepin'
you'd find that I'm weepin' instead</i>
172
00:13:00,737 --> 00:13:03,573
Jim, I'm going to quit.
173
00:13:03,615 --> 00:13:05,241
What, again?
174
00:13:05,284 --> 00:13:06,493
I mean it this time.
175
00:13:06,535 --> 00:13:08,245
I've been trying to tell you.
176
00:13:08,287 --> 00:13:10,539
I'm not going on with it anymore.
177
00:13:10,580 --> 00:13:13,082
- <i>I'm</i> through.
<i>- Night after night</i>
178
00:13:13,125 --> 00:13:14,543
Through with what?
179
00:13:14,584 --> 00:13:17,897
What are you talking about?
180
00:13:17,921 --> 00:13:19,399
All this.
181
00:13:19,423 --> 00:13:21,401
These people.
182
00:13:21,425 --> 00:13:22,467
You.
183
00:13:25,887 --> 00:13:29,075
<i>No one can fill
that vacant chair</i>
184
00:13:29,099 --> 00:13:31,035
We're going to have this out right now.
185
00:13:31,059 --> 00:13:32,870
<i>When you're not there</i>
186
00:13:32,894 --> 00:13:37,394
<i>No need to knock,
the door is open for you</i>
187
00:13:38,608 --> 00:13:41,944
<i>-Please, daddy</i>
-We'll <i>find</i> a place where <i>we can</i> talk.
188
00:13:43,947 --> 00:13:44,989
Come on.
189
00:13:47,075 --> 00:13:51,162
<i>Daddy, do you have to roam so very long?</i>
190
00:13:51,204 --> 00:13:52,872
Come on.
191
00:13:52,914 --> 00:13:57,414
<i>There's lots of other new sheiks
who would like to be sheikin'</i>
192
00:13:57,961 --> 00:13:59,837
Come on, baby.
193
00:14:00,881 --> 00:14:05,381
<i>Daddy, daddy, daddy,
won't you please come home?</i>
194
00:14:08,597 --> 00:14:11,743
<i>Night after night, I'm or yin'</i>
195
00:14:11,767 --> 00:14:15,079
<i>Daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
196
00:14:15,103 --> 00:14:18,022
<i>Daddy,
won't you please come home?</i>
197
00:14:18,065 --> 00:14:22,069
<i>I'm so lonesome</i>
198
00:14:22,110 --> 00:14:25,196
<i>No one can fill
that vacant chair</i>
199
00:14:25,238 --> 00:14:28,532
<i>Home isn't home
if you're not there</i>
200
00:14:28,575 --> 00:14:33,075
<i>No need to knock,
the door is open for you</i>
201
00:14:33,955 --> 00:14:35,373
<i>Sweet daddy</i>
202
00:14:35,415 --> 00:14:38,626
<i>Even the clock keeps tickin'</i>
203
00:14:38,668 --> 00:14:41,981
<i>Daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
204
00:14:42,005 --> 00:14:46,505
<i>Daddy, do you have to roam so very long?</i>
205
00:14:47,552 --> 00:14:52,052
<i>There's lots of other new sheiks
who would like to be sheikin'</i>
206
00:14:52,140 --> 00:14:55,453
<i>Haven't slipped yet,
but I'm liable to weaken</i>
207
00:14:55,477 --> 00:14:59,977
<i>Daddy, daddy, won't you please come home?</i>
208
00:15:13,787 --> 00:15:15,747
I don't get you at all.
209
00:15:15,789 --> 00:15:19,584
You tell me you want to step out tonight,
go somewhere that's lively.
210
00:15:19,626 --> 00:15:22,045
I risk my neck
by walking into this joint,
211
00:15:22,087 --> 00:15:25,191
with all the cops
in the world on my trail.
212
00:15:25,215 --> 00:15:26,984
There's a 10-to-1 shot
there's a couple of dicks
213
00:15:27,008 --> 00:15:30,613
shadowing you right now to get to me.
214
00:15:30,637 --> 00:15:32,657
It's all right with me.
215
00:15:32,681 --> 00:15:35,326
I can take care of myself.
216
00:15:35,350 --> 00:15:38,895
But I do all this,
I take this big chance,
217
00:15:38,937 --> 00:15:40,563
and your idea
of the way to behave
218
00:15:40,605 --> 00:15:44,877
is to start that foolishness
all over again.
219
00:15:44,901 --> 00:15:46,569
What's the big idea?
220
00:15:46,611 --> 00:15:48,070
It's just this, Jim.
221
00:15:48,113 --> 00:15:50,448
I want to be decent again.
222
00:15:50,490 --> 00:15:54,160
Well, babe, you've always been
the most decent kid in the racket.
223
00:15:58,039 --> 00:16:01,917
You know, I used to get a big kick
out of being your girl,
224
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,896
out of knowing that
you'd take a chance on your life
225
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,213
just to see me
for a few minutes.
226
00:16:18,894 --> 00:16:22,105
You're the swellest girl
I ever knew.
227
00:16:25,317 --> 00:16:28,862
You wouldn't want to keep me
if I didn't want to stay, would you, Jim?
228
00:16:28,904 --> 00:16:30,947
Wouldn't I?
229
00:16:32,199 --> 00:16:36,661
I'd keep you with me
if the whole world didn't want you to stay
230
00:16:36,703 --> 00:16:38,663
and make them like it.
231
00:16:38,705 --> 00:16:40,665
That's just it.
232
00:16:40,707 --> 00:16:43,751
I don't want people to respect me
because they're afraid
233
00:16:43,793 --> 00:16:45,753
you'll crush their heads
if they don't.
234
00:16:45,795 --> 00:16:48,733
I don't want the police trailing me
wherever I go.
235
00:16:48,757 --> 00:16:51,968
I don't want people pointing at me
and whispering about me.
236
00:16:52,010 --> 00:16:55,281
All this Ritzie talk, boiled down,
means that you...
237
00:16:55,305 --> 00:16:57,366
You're ashamed of me, huh?
238
00:16:57,390 --> 00:17:00,976
No, just ashamed of myself.
239
00:17:01,019 --> 00:17:03,646
I want to know people
who are different from you and me,
240
00:17:03,688 --> 00:17:06,315
people who lead decent, normal lives.
241
00:17:06,358 --> 00:17:09,194
People who get up in the morning
to go to work.
242
00:17:09,236 --> 00:17:10,779
Regular people.
243
00:17:10,820 --> 00:17:12,905
Oh, don't be a fool.
244
00:17:12,948 --> 00:17:14,824
I don't care what you call me, Jim.
245
00:17:14,866 --> 00:17:17,326
That's the way I'm going
to live from now on.
246
00:17:17,369 --> 00:17:18,995
I'm going to quit.
247
00:17:20,372 --> 00:17:22,874
Well, let me tell you something, Ritzie.
248
00:17:22,916 --> 00:17:25,376
Maybe I'd like to go straight too.
249
00:17:25,418 --> 00:17:27,461
I haven't thought about it much.
250
00:17:27,504 --> 00:17:29,649
Maybe I don't know how.
251
00:17:29,673 --> 00:17:33,468
But as long as I'm going my way,
you're going with me.
252
00:17:35,262 --> 00:17:38,115
You're all I've got
that means anything to me.
253
00:17:38,139 --> 00:17:39,492
Do you think I would...
254
00:17:39,516 --> 00:17:42,352
Oh, come on, let's have a good time.
255
00:17:44,312 --> 00:17:46,897
You'll feel better
in the morning.
256
00:17:57,033 --> 00:17:59,702
Wait a minute.
257
00:17:59,744 --> 00:18:03,330
You haven't fallen for another guy,
have you?
258
00:18:03,373 --> 00:18:05,792
- Who is he?
- There is no other guy, Jim.
259
00:18:05,834 --> 00:18:07,627
It's just that we're through.
260
00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:09,837
You and me will never be through, Ritzie.
261
00:18:09,879 --> 00:18:11,566
Get that straight.
262
00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:15,528
You're my girl and nobody on earth
can take you away from me.
263
00:18:15,552 --> 00:18:19,448
Do you think you could hold me
if I didn't love you anymore?
264
00:18:19,472 --> 00:18:20,992
That don't worry me.
265
00:18:21,016 --> 00:18:24,787
It's the guy that tries to take you away
from me that's got the worrying to do.
266
00:18:24,811 --> 00:18:29,311
Oh, I know, it would be easy enough for you
to get your gang to do anything.
267
00:18:29,482 --> 00:18:33,777
That's one job
I wouldn't let anybody do for me.
268
00:18:36,740 --> 00:18:39,200
Come on, baby.
269
00:18:39,242 --> 00:18:41,327
Come on.
270
00:18:52,213 --> 00:18:55,651
I'd get that guy by myself
271
00:18:55,675 --> 00:19:00,175
if it was the last thing
in this world I ever did.
272
00:19:15,904 --> 00:19:17,196
Uh-oh.
273
00:19:17,238 --> 00:19:21,242
W-w—w-what... what's that n-n-now?
274
00:19:21,284 --> 00:19:24,245
I told you this was gonna happen.
275
00:19:24,287 --> 00:19:27,999
Hey, get off my foot.
276
00:19:28,041 --> 00:19:29,459
Find that light switch.
277
00:19:29,501 --> 00:19:32,003
Don't get excited, folks,
it's only a little raid.
278
00:19:32,045 --> 00:19:34,857
Everybody who can stand to pitch
will kindly keep their seats.
279
00:19:34,881 --> 00:19:38,259
Stand still there or I'll shoot.
280
00:19:40,929 --> 00:19:42,281
Don't move.
281
00:19:42,305 --> 00:19:43,699
I ain't movin', boss.
282
00:19:43,723 --> 00:19:45,975
I've been pushed.
283
00:20:09,833 --> 00:20:11,668
Where is Thunderbolt?
Come clean.
284
00:20:11,710 --> 00:20:13,002
Where is he?
285
00:20:14,587 --> 00:20:16,380
I don't know.
286
00:20:19,008 --> 00:20:21,969
And I don't ever want to know.
287
00:20:45,410 --> 00:20:49,789
I want you men to get this
and get it straight.
288
00:20:49,831 --> 00:20:52,166
It's been two months since Thunderbolt
got away from you
289
00:20:52,208 --> 00:20:54,960
and he's got to be found.
290
00:20:55,003 --> 00:20:58,983
Thunderbolt's girl's been living up
at Young Moran's house for weeks
291
00:20:59,007 --> 00:21:01,277
with the kid and his mother.
292
00:21:01,301 --> 00:21:05,801
Don't tell me that that kid doesn't know
something about Thunderbolt.
293
00:21:07,015 --> 00:21:08,826
Put the works on him.
294
00:21:08,850 --> 00:21:10,578
He'll talk
295
00:21:10,602 --> 00:21:15,102
when it's a question of talking
or being out of a job.
296
00:21:27,035 --> 00:21:28,578
Mr. Corwin wants to see you, Bob.
297
00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:30,622
Okay, Jimmy.
298
00:21:44,427 --> 00:21:46,489
You sent for me, Mr. Corwin?
299
00:21:46,513 --> 00:21:47,555
Yes.
300
00:21:48,723 --> 00:21:49,765
Sit down.
301
00:22:03,279 --> 00:22:04,280
Hello, Mom.
302
00:22:05,448 --> 00:22:07,825
- You're late, Bob.
- Yeah, I stayed overtime.
303
00:22:07,867 --> 00:22:09,827
- Hello, dear.
- Hello.
304
00:22:09,869 --> 00:22:12,162
I'm so glad you're here, Bob,
we were worried.
305
00:22:12,205 --> 00:22:14,790
Oh, I'm sorry, Mary,
but there's nothing to worry about.
306
00:22:14,833 --> 00:22:16,477
Everything was all right at the bank,
wasn't it?
307
00:22:16,501 --> 00:22:18,669
Everything was perfect.
308
00:22:21,506 --> 00:22:23,776
Yes, sir, everything was perfect.
309
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,737
- Until about 4:00.
- What happened about 4:00?
310
00:22:26,761 --> 00:22:27,863
Nothing much.
311
00:22:27,887 --> 00:22:29,740
I just got fired.
312
00:22:29,764 --> 00:22:32,284
That's why I stayed late
to turn over my accounts.
313
00:22:32,308 --> 00:22:33,452
You're joking?
314
00:22:33,476 --> 00:22:35,621
I'm not joking, it's the truth.
315
00:22:35,645 --> 00:22:37,438
What was it, Bob?
What was the matter?
316
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,901
Nothing, Mr. Corwin and I just couldn't
agree on how a bank should be run.
317
00:22:43,069 --> 00:22:44,779
It was on my account, wasn't it?
318
00:22:44,821 --> 00:22:46,298
Don't be silly.
319
00:22:46,322 --> 00:22:48,991
Tell me, Bob, I've got to know.
320
00:22:49,033 --> 00:22:51,201
They just told me
I'd have to make a choice.
321
00:22:51,244 --> 00:22:52,847
Either I'd have to give you up or else...
322
00:22:52,871 --> 00:22:53,955
Or else what?
323
00:22:53,997 --> 00:22:56,082
Just or else, that's all.
324
00:22:56,124 --> 00:22:58,376
Well, I'm glad you quit.
325
00:22:58,418 --> 00:23:02,213
I never could understand
why you wanted to stay at that bank anyhow.
326
00:23:02,255 --> 00:23:04,275
I don't think there was much chance
for you there.
327
00:23:04,299 --> 00:23:07,152
Wherever you go,
they'll always be finding out about me.
328
00:23:07,176 --> 00:23:09,446
Let 'em,
there's nothing to find out about you.
329
00:23:09,470 --> 00:23:12,283
You know, I always thought
you were too good for that place.
330
00:23:12,307 --> 00:23:14,767
They didn't appreciate you.
331
00:23:17,395 --> 00:23:19,438
Oh, don't start crying, dear.
332
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,333
You'll get your nose red.
333
00:23:21,357 --> 00:23:23,734
A thing like this doesn't bother us,
does it, Mom?
334
00:23:23,776 --> 00:23:25,778
We've looked for jobs before.
335
00:23:25,820 --> 00:23:27,298
I should never have come here at all.
336
00:23:27,322 --> 00:23:28,489
I knew it wasn't right.
337
00:23:28,531 --> 00:23:30,533
What wasn't right?
338
00:23:30,575 --> 00:23:34,120
Coming to live here
with you and your mother.
339
00:23:34,162 --> 00:23:36,247
You've been wonderful to me.
340
00:23:36,289 --> 00:23:38,666
And this is the way
I'm repaying you,
341
00:23:38,708 --> 00:23:39,792
getting you discharged.
342
00:23:39,834 --> 00:23:42,419
You're working yourself up
over nothing, Mary.
343
00:23:42,462 --> 00:23:44,815
What if I do lose a job now and then?
344
00:23:44,839 --> 00:23:46,567
What difference does it make?
345
00:23:46,591 --> 00:23:50,070
Come on, let's all go out
and have a good time tonight.
346
00:23:50,094 --> 00:23:52,698
Oh, Bob, your mother's
fixed a lovely supper for us.
347
00:23:52,722 --> 00:23:54,283
The lovely supper will keep.
348
00:23:54,307 --> 00:23:55,367
Bob is right.
349
00:23:55,391 --> 00:23:57,870
What you two need is to go out
and enjoy yourselves.
350
00:23:57,894 --> 00:24:00,289
Yeah,
we can't let a chance like this go by.
351
00:24:00,313 --> 00:24:02,690
I may not get fired again
for a long time.
352
00:24:02,732 --> 00:24:04,483
I've got some mending to do.
353
00:24:04,525 --> 00:24:06,318
You children go along by yourselves.
354
00:24:06,361 --> 00:24:09,030
Come now.
Come and get all dressed up.
355
00:24:09,072 --> 00:24:10,698
There you are.
356
00:24:16,371 --> 00:24:19,832
(unintelligible).
357
00:24:25,755 --> 00:24:27,900
Did someone knock, Bob?
358
00:24:27,924 --> 00:24:30,986
I thought I heard a knock.
359
00:24:31,010 --> 00:24:32,886
There's no one out here.
360
00:24:34,681 --> 00:24:37,117
Come on, get your hat, Bob.
361
00:24:37,141 --> 00:24:38,202
Run along, dear.
362
00:24:38,226 --> 00:24:40,353
- Have a good time.
- Goodnight.
363
00:24:41,396 --> 00:24:43,689
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight, Mom.
364
00:25:15,596 --> 00:25:18,283
Now, don't feel that way.
365
00:25:18,307 --> 00:25:20,475
Nothing important has happened.
366
00:25:20,518 --> 00:25:23,747
The thing that gets me
is that I was expecting a promotion,
367
00:25:23,771 --> 00:25:25,689
and you know what that meant.
368
00:25:25,732 --> 00:25:26,983
I'm not gonna wait any longer.
369
00:25:27,025 --> 00:25:29,861
As soon as I get a job again,
we're going to be married.
370
00:25:29,902 --> 00:25:32,112
There's no sense in waiting.
371
00:25:34,449 --> 00:25:36,409
Well, if it ain't the long lost child.
372
00:25:36,451 --> 00:25:37,469
Hello there, Ritzie.
373
00:25:37,493 --> 00:25:40,162
Well, it was a long time finding ya.
374
00:25:40,204 --> 00:25:41,622
I think you've made a mistake.
375
00:25:41,664 --> 00:25:44,208
You made a mistake, baby,
thinking you could keep out of sight.
376
00:25:44,250 --> 00:25:47,253
- Come on, Bob.
- So this is the old hideaway, is it?
377
00:25:47,295 --> 00:25:50,506
Well, I guess you know Thunderbolt's
been looking high and low for ya, don't ya?
378
00:25:50,548 --> 00:25:51,984
Why didn't you let him know
where you were?
379
00:25:52,008 --> 00:25:53,318
Drop him a postcard or something.
380
00:25:53,342 --> 00:25:55,112
I'm not interested in Thunderbolt.
381
00:25:55,136 --> 00:25:57,698
You're not, huh?
382
00:25:57,722 --> 00:26:02,222
And this is the Kewpie that made a sucker
out of Thunderbolt, huh?
383
00:26:02,643 --> 00:26:05,914
Well, I wouldn't be in your shoes
for all the rice in China.
384
00:26:05,938 --> 00:26:07,397
Stay on the level, Ritzie.
385
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,817
What have you been doing
with yourself all this time?
386
00:26:09,859 --> 00:26:11,277
Take your hand off her.
387
00:26:11,319 --> 00:26:12,504
Don't shove me.
388
00:26:12,528 --> 00:26:14,071
I'll shove ya.
389
00:26:14,113 --> 00:26:15,507
Well, I'll teach you to shove me.
390
00:26:15,531 --> 00:26:17,616
Look out, Bob, he's got a gun!
391
00:26:23,164 --> 00:26:24,641
Come on, Bob, let's go back upstairs.
392
00:26:24,665 --> 00:26:26,875
I'd like to take another sock at that guy.
393
00:26:26,918 --> 00:26:28,252
You've hurt your hand too.
394
00:26:28,294 --> 00:26:29,336
Come on, Bob.
395
00:26:31,714 --> 00:26:35,069
Did you fall downstairs?
396
00:26:35,093 --> 00:26:39,114
- Why, what happened?
- He fell downstairs, the poor man.
397
00:26:39,138 --> 00:26:42,201
I'd put a piece of fresh beef steak
on that eye if I were you.
398
00:26:42,225 --> 00:26:43,786
Well, you ain't me.
399
00:26:43,810 --> 00:26:46,705
My sister always puts a key
down the back of her neck
400
00:26:46,729 --> 00:26:48,480
to stop a nosebleed.
401
00:26:48,523 --> 00:26:51,484
I'll slip something down the back of
your neck if you don't leave me alone.
402
00:26:51,526 --> 00:26:54,195
Where's the nearest telephone
around here?
403
00:26:54,237 --> 00:26:56,781
Well, here,
don't you dare go near there.
404
00:26:56,823 --> 00:27:00,076
Oh, I just hate to see anybody hurt.
405
00:27:01,786 --> 00:27:04,079
Oh, now a squalling baby.
406
00:27:06,165 --> 00:27:08,041
Why, what's the matter?
407
00:27:08,084 --> 00:27:11,128
Nothing.
She talked me out of going out.
408
00:27:11,170 --> 00:27:13,463
You've hurt your hand.
What's happened?
409
00:27:13,506 --> 00:27:15,925
I guess I knocked it
against something.
410
00:27:18,803 --> 00:27:21,597
What's happened, Mary?
411
00:27:21,639 --> 00:27:24,118
We ran into a man I used to know.
412
00:27:24,142 --> 00:27:27,246
He tried to get fresh
and Bob had to hit him.
413
00:27:27,270 --> 00:27:29,814
Oh, I... I see, I...
414
00:27:31,149 --> 00:27:33,151
Well, we'll put something on it.
415
00:27:33,192 --> 00:27:34,419
- Don't bother, Mom.
- No, come on,
416
00:27:34,443 --> 00:27:36,088
we'll wash it out
and put some iodine on it.
417
00:27:36,112 --> 00:27:37,422
I don't want any of that stuff on it.
418
00:27:37,446 --> 00:27:40,240
Took a week for it to
wear off the last time.
419
00:27:41,826 --> 00:27:43,702
I don't want anything on it.
420
00:27:45,037 --> 00:27:46,913
That water could be hot.
421
00:27:48,207 --> 00:27:50,250
Mom, you treat me like I was a baby.
422
00:27:50,293 --> 00:27:51,919
That's all you act like
when you're hurt.
423
00:27:51,961 --> 00:27:53,045
Well, I ain't hurt.
424
00:27:53,087 --> 00:27:55,274
You got me mixed up
with the other guy.
425
00:27:55,298 --> 00:27:56,692
I'll bet you never touched
the other guy.
426
00:27:56,716 --> 00:27:59,820
Yeah? Well, no mother'
be able
to fix him up for a long time.
427
00:27:59,844 --> 00:28:03,013
That's what you say.
I'd like to see him to believe that.
428
00:28:07,143 --> 00:28:09,645
Answer the telephone, Mary.
429
00:28:18,446 --> 00:28:21,907
Mary, answer the telephone.
430
00:28:27,496 --> 00:28:28,538
Hello?
431
00:28:33,711 --> 00:28:36,088
How's every little thing?
432
00:28:40,676 --> 00:28:43,261
I'll be coming up your way.
433
00:28:47,767 --> 00:28:50,370
I can't, eh?
434
00:28:50,394 --> 00:28:52,771
I'll come right down.
435
00:28:52,813 --> 00:28:54,773
What for?
436
00:28:54,815 --> 00:28:57,317
It won't make any difference
to your boyfriend.
437
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,945
You might as well say goodbye
to him now.
438
00:28:59,987 --> 00:29:03,365
I just called up
to give you fair warning.
439
00:29:10,831 --> 00:29:12,976
- Let's put this iodine on it.
- I don't want any iodine.
440
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,752
Now hold still, hold still.
441
00:29:16,545 --> 00:29:18,296
Ouch. Ow!
442
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,277
Now look what you've done.
443
00:29:22,301 --> 00:29:23,820
All over my clean floor.
444
00:29:23,844 --> 00:29:25,679
I'll clean it up.
445
00:29:27,139 --> 00:29:28,325
Not my towels!
446
00:29:28,349 --> 00:29:29,993
Ouch.
447
00:29:30,017 --> 00:29:32,829
Do nothing but buy towels for this place.
448
00:29:32,853 --> 00:29:34,414
Look out there now.
449
00:29:34,438 --> 00:29:37,816
You know I keep
the floor cloths under here.
450
00:29:37,858 --> 00:29:39,067
Look at that iodine.
451
00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:40,486
You never can get that up.
452
00:29:40,528 --> 00:29:42,714
Well, I told you not to bring it out,
didn't I?
453
00:29:42,738 --> 00:29:44,030
I'd like to put some on your...
454
00:29:44,073 --> 00:29:45,908
Jiggers, Mom, I'm gettin' sore now.
455
00:29:45,950 --> 00:29:48,160
Well, what do you do if you get sore?
456
00:29:48,202 --> 00:29:49,846
Well, I'll show you,
I'm bigger than you are.
457
00:29:49,870 --> 00:29:51,580
Yes, well...
458
00:29:51,622 --> 00:29:53,892
- Give me the napkin.
- Not look, you'll get your hands all dirty.
459
00:29:53,916 --> 00:29:55,959
Give me that rag.
Give me that rag.
460
00:29:56,002 --> 00:29:58,629
I'm telling you, there's nothing...
461
00:29:58,671 --> 00:29:59,713
Bob, now, stop it.
462
00:29:59,755 --> 00:30:01,858
You're nothing but a big baby.
463
00:30:01,882 --> 00:30:04,152
NOW Will you stop it?
464
00:30:04,176 --> 00:30:05,218
Let go.
465
00:30:07,430 --> 00:30:10,617
Say, Bob, now who do you think I am?
466
00:30:10,641 --> 00:30:12,577
You're not fighting with
that fella down there!
467
00:30:12,601 --> 00:30:14,936
Yeah, I'm working with you, Mom.
468
00:30:19,775 --> 00:30:21,234
Stop it!
469
00:30:21,277 --> 00:30:23,570
Bob, please! Ow!
470
00:31:27,301 --> 00:31:29,219
Go on, get out of here. Beat it.
471
00:31:39,855 --> 00:31:41,356
I can't find her.
472
00:31:41,399 --> 00:31:44,568
Well, now don't worry, she's only gone
to the grocer's or something.
473
00:31:44,610 --> 00:31:47,446
I know, but she's been gone
such a long time.
474
00:31:47,488 --> 00:31:49,698
But here's her pocketbook and gloves.
475
00:31:49,740 --> 00:31:51,843
- She'll be back soon.
- Now, I'm worried.
476
00:31:51,867 --> 00:31:53,345
Well, I'm the one
that ought to be worried
477
00:31:53,369 --> 00:31:56,080
with the dinner getting cold
and everything.
478
00:31:56,122 --> 00:31:58,082
Do you think we oughta call
the police?
479
00:31:58,124 --> 00:32:02,169
Now, Bob, don't be so silly.
480
00:32:02,211 --> 00:32:04,922
She'll be back in less than no time.
481
00:32:08,300 --> 00:32:09,342
Hello?
482
00:32:38,664 --> 00:32:41,583
Katie! Katie!
483
00:32:42,835 --> 00:32:43,877
Yes?
484
00:32:44,753 --> 00:32:46,296
Are you calling me, Annie?
485
00:32:46,338 --> 00:32:48,150
You and Bill better come right up.
486
00:32:48,174 --> 00:32:49,925
The radio's working again.
487
00:32:49,967 --> 00:32:52,886
I'll be up in a minute,
Bill ain't home yet.
488
00:33:20,539 --> 00:33:22,832
Hey, listen,
I thought I told you to beat it.
489
00:33:22,875 --> 00:33:24,001
Now, come on, go home.
490
00:33:24,043 --> 00:33:26,211
I got work to do. Come on, boy.
491
00:33:26,253 --> 00:33:28,630
Nice little dog. Come on.
492
00:33:30,299 --> 00:33:31,735
Come on.
493
00:33:31,759 --> 00:33:34,136
Come on, come on.
494
00:33:35,346 --> 00:33:36,388
Come on.
495
00:33:38,098 --> 00:33:40,118
Come on, boy.
496
00:33:40,142 --> 00:33:41,578
Come on.
497
00:33:41,602 --> 00:33:42,829
Come on, boy.
498
00:33:42,853 --> 00:33:43,895
Come on.
499
00:33:47,316 --> 00:33:48,400
Come on, boy.
500
00:33:48,442 --> 00:33:49,484
Come on, boy.
501
00:33:50,653 --> 00:33:51,820
Come on!
502
00:33:51,862 --> 00:33:53,780
Come on, boy.
503
00:33:59,370 --> 00:34:01,121
Come on, boy.
504
00:34:01,163 --> 00:34:02,205
Come on.
505
00:34:05,376 --> 00:34:07,878
Come on, boy.
506
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,254
Come on.
507
00:34:09,296 --> 00:34:10,690
Come on, boy.
508
00:34:10,714 --> 00:34:11,756
Come on.
509
00:34:21,850 --> 00:34:24,102
Ain't he cute?
510
00:34:28,691 --> 00:34:32,695
I just love dogs.
511
00:34:43,998 --> 00:34:45,040
Come on.
512
00:34:48,127 --> 00:34:49,461
Come on.
513
00:34:49,503 --> 00:34:51,254
Come on, get out of here, get out.
514
00:34:51,297 --> 00:34:53,340
Go on, get out. Beat it!
515
00:34:54,383 --> 00:34:55,425
Stay out.
516
00:35:18,490 --> 00:35:20,051
Now, Bob, don't go near that door.
517
00:35:20,075 --> 00:35:21,659
I'm not going near the door, Mom.
518
00:35:21,702 --> 00:35:23,662
Come on away now.
519
00:35:33,297 --> 00:35:34,774
There's that bark again.
520
00:35:34,798 --> 00:35:37,068
Well, what if a dog does bark?
521
00:35:37,092 --> 00:35:39,279
I didn't know there was a dog in the house.
522
00:35:39,303 --> 00:35:41,823
Don't go out, Bob.
523
00:35:41,847 --> 00:35:43,992
Please, for my sake.
524
00:35:44,016 --> 00:35:46,768
Don't go out until Mary returns.
525
00:35:48,937 --> 00:35:50,332
What are you barking for?
526
00:35:50,356 --> 00:35:52,107
I thought I told you to beat it.
527
00:35:52,191 --> 00:35:54,234
You're going for a walk.
528
00:36:09,708 --> 00:36:11,251
You poor little mutt.
529
00:36:11,293 --> 00:36:12,544
Go on home.
530
00:36:12,586 --> 00:36:14,296
If you've got a home.
531
00:36:14,338 --> 00:36:16,131
I've got no time to play with you now.
532
00:36:16,173 --> 00:36:19,384
Put up your hands,
you're under arrest.
533
00:36:26,266 --> 00:36:27,600
All right, put 'em up.
534
00:36:29,144 --> 00:36:30,979
And keep 'em up.
535
00:36:33,315 --> 00:36:34,983
Frisk him, Bill.
536
00:36:51,166 --> 00:36:53,168
Slip the bracelets on him.
537
00:37:05,013 --> 00:37:06,574
Get back up there.
What are you doing up here?
538
00:37:06,598 --> 00:37:09,077
Go on, go wait upstairs.
539
00:37:09,101 --> 00:37:11,061
Go on, upstairs, everybody.
540
00:37:12,855 --> 00:37:15,023
Come on, keep movin' there, keep movin'.
541
00:37:17,609 --> 00:37:20,194
Wait up there, now go on,
now get back up there.
542
00:37:23,991 --> 00:37:27,703
Well, well, well, Thunderbolt.
543
00:37:29,163 --> 00:37:31,748
Long time no see.
544
00:37:42,801 --> 00:37:45,321
You guys are all alike.
545
00:37:45,345 --> 00:37:49,845
No brains, no brains.
546
00:37:49,933 --> 00:37:52,894
Your dame told us
you were coming here.
547
00:38:00,486 --> 00:38:03,572
A lot of help you were.
548
00:38:03,614 --> 00:38:07,326
To think it took a mutt like you
to send me up.
549
00:38:07,367 --> 00:38:08,618
I didn't know you had a dog.
550
00:38:08,660 --> 00:38:10,161
Is he yours?
551
00:38:10,204 --> 00:38:12,289
He is now.
552
00:38:12,331 --> 00:38:15,083
He cost me plenty.
553
00:38:16,460 --> 00:38:18,128
Ain't he beautiful?
554
00:38:18,170 --> 00:38:19,963
I wouldn't brag about him.
555
00:38:20,005 --> 00:38:21,756
Come on, boys.
556
00:39:00,462 --> 00:39:01,671
Let me go down there.
557
00:39:01,713 --> 00:39:02,714
Let me!
558
00:39:02,756 --> 00:39:04,359
What right have you got
to keep me back?
559
00:39:04,383 --> 00:39:05,425
Just stay back.
560
00:39:07,302 --> 00:39:08,363
Oh, Bob.
561
00:39:08,387 --> 00:39:09,781
What is the matter, Mary,
what happened?
562
00:39:09,805 --> 00:39:12,283
Go into the... go into the house,
go on, children.
563
00:39:12,307 --> 00:39:14,911
I wonder what she's got to do with it.
564
00:39:14,935 --> 00:39:15,977
I don't know.
565
00:39:41,712 --> 00:39:44,131
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
566
00:39:44,172 --> 00:39:46,442
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
567
00:39:46,466 --> 00:39:50,966
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
568
00:39:51,847 --> 00:39:54,349
<i>Brother, you ought to been there</i>
569
00:39:54,391 --> 00:39:56,870
<i>Yes, my Lord</i>
570
00:39:56,894 --> 00:40:01,394
<i>A-sitting in the kingdom
for to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
571
00:40:01,982 --> 00:40:04,335
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
572
00:40:04,359 --> 00:40:06,569
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
573
00:40:06,612 --> 00:40:11,112
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
574
00:40:11,533 --> 00:40:14,702
<i>Sister, you ought to been there</i>
575
00:40:14,745 --> 00:40:18,123
<i>Yes, my Lord</i>
576
00:40:18,165 --> 00:40:22,665
<i>A-sitting in the kingdom
for to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
577
00:40:24,630 --> 00:40:27,483
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
578
00:40:27,507 --> 00:40:30,236
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
579
00:40:30,260 --> 00:40:34,760
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
580
00:40:36,725 --> 00:40:39,579
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
581
00:40:39,603 --> 00:40:42,897
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
582
00:40:42,940 --> 00:40:47,440
<i>I want to go to heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
583
00:41:02,334 --> 00:41:06,834
Say,
this piano will need tuning pretty soon.
584
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,756
Yes.
585
00:41:11,009 --> 00:41:15,509
I wish there were a way of telling
when a human being's out of tune.
586
00:41:22,646 --> 00:41:25,523
Couldn't be more comfortable at the Ritz.
587
00:41:25,565 --> 00:41:26,941
One-Way Street, huh?
588
00:41:26,984 --> 00:41:29,987
Everything coming in
and nothing going out.
589
00:41:44,459 --> 00:41:47,378
Now take care of yourself
and don't catch cold.
590
00:41:47,421 --> 00:41:49,256
Plenty of blankets here.
591
00:41:49,297 --> 00:41:50,775
And look out for pneumonia.
592
00:41:50,799 --> 00:41:53,510
Don't want to give this place
a bad name.
593
00:42:09,234 --> 00:42:13,613
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
594
00:42:13,655 --> 00:42:17,367
<i>Roll, Jordan, roll</i>
595
00:42:18,285 --> 00:42:22,785
<i>I want to go to Heaven when I die
to hear sweet Jordan roll</i>
596
00:42:27,836 --> 00:42:31,172
Hey, Number 3!
597
00:42:32,549 --> 00:42:35,236
Hey you, new guy.
598
00:42:35,260 --> 00:42:37,238
You're Number 3.
599
00:42:37,262 --> 00:42:39,323
You might as well get
me right from the start.
600
00:42:39,347 --> 00:42:42,744
I'm Number 1 anywhere.
601
00:42:42,768 --> 00:42:47,268
Well, Number 3 or... or Number 1
or whatever you are,
602
00:42:47,439 --> 00:42:50,775
do you sing tenor?
603
00:42:50,817 --> 00:42:52,151
Who me?
604
00:42:52,194 --> 00:42:54,362
I kill tenors.
605
00:42:55,864 --> 00:42:58,658
Oh, a tough guy, hey?
606
00:42:58,700 --> 00:43:01,119
Too bad you ain't a tenor.
607
00:43:01,161 --> 00:43:04,414
We had a swell quartet,
608
00:43:04,456 --> 00:43:07,041
but they took our tenor yesterday.
609
00:43:08,168 --> 00:43:10,336
Hey, Number 4.
610
00:43:10,378 --> 00:43:12,838
What does that new bird look like?
611
00:43:14,299 --> 00:43:18,780
Well, ain't much to be said about him.
612
00:43:18,804 --> 00:43:19,888
Pretty big.
613
00:43:21,223 --> 00:43:25,723
Got a mug on him
like they use to scare babies with.
614
00:43:25,977 --> 00:43:27,663
Looks like he cuts his hair with a...
615
00:43:27,687 --> 00:43:30,022
Oh, close your trap.
616
00:43:30,065 --> 00:43:33,544
Say, is that you, Thunderbolt?
617
00:43:33,568 --> 00:43:35,319
That's me.
618
00:43:35,362 --> 00:43:39,862
Reading from left to right, Thunderbolt.
619
00:43:39,991 --> 00:43:41,534
Who wants to know?
620
00:43:41,576 --> 00:43:44,829
Don't tell me that you've forgotten me.
621
00:43:44,871 --> 00:43:47,248
Wait, that sounds like Chuck.
622
00:43:47,290 --> 00:43:49,125
Is that you, kid?
623
00:43:49,167 --> 00:43:52,336
The kid himself, sure thing.
624
00:43:52,379 --> 00:43:56,192
Say, what are you in for, big boy?
625
00:43:56,216 --> 00:43:58,402
Being kind to animals.
626
00:43:58,426 --> 00:44:02,740
I just got too interested in a dog,
that's all.
627
00:44:02,764 --> 00:44:05,076
You know any more jokes?
628
00:44:05,100 --> 00:44:08,103
This place is for killers.
629
00:44:12,858 --> 00:44:14,985
Who is that, a friend of yours, Chuck?
630
00:44:15,026 --> 00:44:18,487
Friend of mine?
I should say not.
631
00:44:18,530 --> 00:44:22,033
How long you gonna stop in our hotel, Jim?
632
00:44:22,075 --> 00:44:23,993
About eight weeks.
633
00:44:24,035 --> 00:44:27,204
Anybody else in here I oughta know?
634
00:44:27,247 --> 00:44:29,374
Holler roll for him, boys.
635
00:44:29,416 --> 00:44:33,916
Joe Ripley, been here so long
I've forgotten what I'm in for.
636
00:44:33,962 --> 00:44:36,506
Kentucky Sampson.
637
00:44:36,548 --> 00:44:39,443
Caught on the 13th job.
638
00:44:39,467 --> 00:44:43,967
I was that good, the jury brought in a verdict
of guilty before they went out to lunch.
639
00:44:44,472 --> 00:44:47,975
I'm next door, Jim, Number 5.
640
00:44:50,103 --> 00:44:52,415
Hey, Pat, give me a light, will ya?
641
00:44:52,439 --> 00:44:54,649
<i>Everybody talkin' 'bout Heaven
ain't goin' there</i>
642
00:44:54,733 --> 00:44:57,152
<i>Heaven, Heaven</i>
643
00:44:57,194 --> 00:45:00,739
<i>Gonna shout all over,
goin' to Heaven</i>
644
00:45:00,780 --> 00:45:03,115
Leave those matches here, will you, Pat?
645
00:45:03,158 --> 00:45:05,034
I would (unintelligible).
646
00:45:05,076 --> 00:45:07,578
Sure, you know it's against the rules.
647
00:45:07,621 --> 00:45:11,291
And furthermore, my name is not Pat.
648
00:45:11,333 --> 00:45:13,376
- What is your name?
- Don't tell him!
649
00:45:13,418 --> 00:45:16,254
Make him guess!
650
00:45:16,296 --> 00:45:18,089
Number 6.
651
00:45:18,131 --> 00:45:21,676
Making my exit today.
652
00:45:21,718 --> 00:45:24,447
<i>I got a song, you got a song</i>
653
00:45:24,471 --> 00:45:27,366
<i>All of God's children got a song</i>
654
00:45:27,390 --> 00:45:30,912
Number 7 is at the piano.
655
00:45:30,936 --> 00:45:34,123
Special dispensation from the warden.
656
00:45:34,147 --> 00:45:37,668
Number 8, (unintelligible) Roberts.
657
00:45:37,692 --> 00:45:40,027
Murder in the first degree.
658
00:45:40,070 --> 00:45:42,113
Brought up by honest parents.
659
00:45:42,155 --> 00:45:45,491
At least, they was honest as far as I know.
660
00:45:45,533 --> 00:45:50,033
Absolutely on the level
until my 12th birthday.
661
00:45:55,335 --> 00:45:59,774
Number 9's still in the hospital, I guess.
662
00:45:59,798 --> 00:46:03,277
Number 10, now broadcasting.
663
00:46:03,301 --> 00:46:06,155
Bad AI Frieberg, that's me.
664
00:46:06,179 --> 00:46:09,909
I guess I don't have to tell you who I am.
665
00:46:09,933 --> 00:46:12,078
Maybe you should.
666
00:46:12,102 --> 00:46:14,288
I never heard of you.
667
00:46:14,312 --> 00:46:15,998
Don't kid me.
668
00:46:16,022 --> 00:46:18,107
Everybody heard about me.
669
00:46:18,149 --> 00:46:21,443
There was whole pages in
the papers when I was caught
670
00:46:21,486 --> 00:46:23,529
Pictures and everything.
671
00:46:23,571 --> 00:46:28,071
The Machine Gun Terror,
that's what they call me.
672
00:46:29,077 --> 00:46:31,954
Oh yes, I remember you now.
673
00:46:31,997 --> 00:46:35,166
The Machine Gun Terror, huh?
674
00:46:35,208 --> 00:46:39,420
Well,
down my way they call you Squirt Gun AI.
675
00:46:39,462 --> 00:46:41,630
I'll squirt gun you, you big stick.
If I ever...
676
00:46:41,673 --> 00:46:46,010
Oh, you big fat head,
I bet you bragged your way into the joint.
677
00:46:48,513 --> 00:46:49,824
Come on, Number 7.
678
00:46:49,848 --> 00:46:51,850
Back to your cell.
679
00:47:13,538 --> 00:47:18,038
As I was saying, I was absolutely
on the level until my 12th birthday,
680
00:47:19,502 --> 00:47:24,002
and then, well,
nothing much happened until I was 37.
681
00:47:25,008 --> 00:47:27,844
Then I blew up over a dame!
682
00:47:29,304 --> 00:47:31,657
You're not the only one.
683
00:47:31,681 --> 00:47:33,242
You said it.
684
00:47:33,266 --> 00:47:36,162
There's a dame behind
every guy in this joint.
685
00:47:36,186 --> 00:47:38,456
That was the trouble with me.
686
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,149
The dames wouldn't let me alone.
687
00:47:41,191 --> 00:47:45,691
I wouldn't be here now if two skirts
hadn't fell for me at the same time.
688
00:47:48,198 --> 00:47:50,450
Yeah, I know.
689
00:47:50,492 --> 00:47:54,992
Fell for you, you mean tripped
trying to get out of your way.
690
00:47:57,707 --> 00:47:59,625
Say, listen.
691
00:47:59,667 --> 00:48:01,669
I've had about enough out of you.
692
00:48:01,711 --> 00:48:05,066
I'd show you something if they let
me out of here a couple of minutes.
693
00:48:05,090 --> 00:48:06,567
You big cluck!
694
00:48:06,591 --> 00:48:09,153
What would you do, big boy?
695
00:48:09,177 --> 00:48:10,821
I'd do plenty.
696
00:48:10,845 --> 00:48:12,847
Don't you worry about that.
697
00:48:12,889 --> 00:48:16,285
I ain't afraid of you or that
phony right hand of yours.
698
00:48:16,309 --> 00:48:19,580
Sure you're not,
699
00:48:19,604 --> 00:48:22,523
with these bars between us.
700
00:48:33,868 --> 00:48:36,161
- Hello, Mr. Moran.
- Hello, Jack.
701
00:48:36,204 --> 00:48:38,372
- How are you?
- Fine.
702
00:48:55,056 --> 00:48:57,618
Well, what can I do for you?
703
00:48:57,642 --> 00:49:00,246
Well, you sent for me, Mr. Corwin.
704
00:49:00,270 --> 00:49:02,289
I did nothing of the sort.
705
00:49:02,313 --> 00:49:04,023
That's funny.
706
00:49:04,065 --> 00:49:08,319
Your secretary phoned the house yesterday
and left word that you wanted to see me.
707
00:49:16,453 --> 00:49:18,037
Miss Randall has gone to lunch.
708
00:49:18,079 --> 00:49:20,164
Is there anything I can do for you, sir?
709
00:49:20,206 --> 00:49:22,374
No, never mind.
710
00:49:22,417 --> 00:49:25,044
I don't see why she
should've called you up.
711
00:49:25,086 --> 00:49:27,671
There's nothing I want to see you about.
712
00:49:30,049 --> 00:49:32,968
Then I'm sorry I bothered you.
713
00:49:46,065 --> 00:49:48,233
Got a match, buddy?
714
00:49:56,451 --> 00:49:58,244
Take it easy, Moran.
715
00:49:58,286 --> 00:50:01,455
Come on there, all of you,
get your hands up.
716
00:50:01,498 --> 00:50:02,624
Keep 'em up!
717
00:50:02,665 --> 00:50:06,043
High up there, face the wall!
718
00:50:06,085 --> 00:50:08,670
Come on, do as I tell you.
719
00:50:23,478 --> 00:50:27,978
Even a bank ain't safe
from these gangsters.
720
00:50:29,526 --> 00:50:32,487
- Come on, come on.
- Hey!
721
00:50:46,167 --> 00:50:48,085
Come on!

You seem happy tonight.
730
00:51:34,299 --> 00:51:36,968
Just got some great news.

What would you call great news?
732
00:51:41,681 --> 00:51:43,033
Getting out of here?
733
00:51:43,057 --> 00:51:44,785
That doesn't worry me.
734

I'll handle this.

Watch me!

00:52:42,909 --> 00:52:45,453
Now you turn over that gun
this minute, do you hear?

This is my last warning.

have to fill you full of bullets!

Go ahead, that's what I want you to do!

We've got to execute you tonight.
760
00:53:07,934 --> 00:53:10,412
Besides, you haven't got a chance, AI.
761
00:53:10,436 --> 00:53:12,915
That gun's empty.
762
00:53:12,939 --> 00:53:16,317
- How do you know?
- We caught the guy who sold it to you.
763
00:53:16,359 --> 00:53:19,070
I'll show you whether it's empty or not!
764
00:53:19,112 --> 00:53:21,531
Ah, don't point that thing at me!
765
00:53:21,572 --> 00:53:23,198
Bring on your gang.
766
00:53:23,241 --> 00:53:27,286
I don't care how I die
as long as I die shooting!
767
00:53:27,328 --> 00:53:29,621
Yeah, you'll die shooting.

You ain't big enough, little boy.
771
00:53:37,130 --> 00:53:39,441
I'll fill you full of lead
if it's the last thing I do!
772
00:53:39,465 --> 00:53:43,965
Yes, and if I was the warden I'd take that gat
away from you and shove it down your throat.
773
00:53:44,512 --> 00:53:48,325
If I could only get close enough
to take a crack at you!
774
00:53:48,349 --> 00:53:52,849
You haven't got the nerve it takes
to crack a slot machine.
775
00:54:02,363 --> 00:54:03,697
Get out of the way, boys!
776
00:54:03,740 --> 00:54:05,158
Clear the deck!
777
00:54:05,199 --> 00:54:07,177
Give me that gun, you rat.
778
00:54:07,201 --> 00:54:09,620
Give it to you?
779
00:54:09,662 --> 00:54:11,872
I'll give it to you all right!

<i>When the wind blows, the cradle will rock</i>
786
00:54:39,609 --> 00:54:41,211

00:54:44,197 --> 00:54:48,697
<i>Down will come baby, cradle and all</i>
790
00:55:04,342 --> 00:55:06,069
Thanks, Mike.
791
00:55:06,093 --> 00:55:08,864
My name is not Mike.
792
00:55:08,888 --> 00:55:10,848
I'll guess it.
793
00:55:15,186 --> 00:55:16,914
Just a little accident, doc.
794
00:55:16,938 --> 00:55:19,899
Somebody hit him.
795
00:55:19,941 --> 00:55:22,485
What'd he hit him with, a Sledgehammer?
796
00:55:28,407 --> 00:55:30,117
Looks a like a very dangerous concussion.
797
00:55:30,159 --> 00:55:33,662
It won't be fatal, will it?
798
00:55:33,704 --> 00:55:36,665
Listen, doc,
you've just got to see that this man lives.
799
00:55:36,707 --> 00:55:38,041
Do something!
800
00:55:38,084 --> 00:55:39,835
I've got to execute him tonight.
801
00:55:39,877 --> 00:55:42,504
Take him to the hospital
and put him on the table.
802
00:55:45,216 --> 00:55:47,801
He's certainly had a terrible shock.
803
00:55:49,345 --> 00:55:51,221
Be careful with him, boys.
804
00:55:54,976 --> 00:55:57,162
You shouldn't have hit that man so hard,
Jim.
805
00:55:57,186 --> 00:55:59,665
Don't worry about him, warden.
806
00:55:59,689 --> 00:56:01,399
He'll come out of it in a couple of hours.
807
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,651
I just tapped him.
808
00:56:04,694 --> 00:56:06,779
Well, anyway, I'm much obliged to you,
809
00:56:06,821 --> 00:56:11,033
and if there's any little favor I could
do for you, that is, within reason.
810
00:56:11,075 --> 00:56:14,745
Well, if it isn't asking too much,
811
00:56:14,787 --> 00:56:18,665
I would like to have that
dog of mine in here with me.
812
00:56:18,708 --> 00:56:21,419
Well, I guess we can
fix that up for you all right.
813
00:56:21,460 --> 00:56:25,960
<i>(unintelligible)</i>
814
00:56:26,215 --> 00:56:28,569
I thought I had that quartet broken up.
815
00:56:28,593 --> 00:56:31,989
But I no sooner get rid of one
than they send me another.
816
00:56:32,013 --> 00:56:34,992
You sure pulled me out of an awful mess.
817
00:56:35,016 --> 00:56:36,869
It was a pleasure, warden.
818
00:56:36,893 --> 00:56:40,163
I'd have been in a tough spot
if this thing had broken in the papers.
819
00:56:40,187 --> 00:56:42,541
Think of the scandal!
820
00:56:42,565 --> 00:56:45,276
I'll fix that dog thing up
for you in a day or two.
821
00:56:45,318 --> 00:56:48,029
<i>That brings me back again</i>
822
00:56:48,070 --> 00:56:50,572

<i>Alabam, Alabam</i>
829
00:57:16,933 --> 00:57:19,870
Couldn't be more comfortable at the Ritz.
830
00:57:19,894 --> 00:57:21,955
And don't you give me any trouble!
831
00:57:21,979 --> 00:57:24,398
I'm having trouble enough around here.
832
00:57:28,694 --> 00:57:31,530
I'll see you later, Number 4.
833
00:57:50,216 --> 00:57:52,718
Hey, Number 4!
834
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,077
He's calling you, new guy.
835
00:58:00,101 --> 00:58:01,954
You're Number 4.
836
00:58:01,978 --> 00:58:04,498
What are you in for, new guy?
837
00:58:04,522 --> 00:58:07,399
They were robbing a bank
and someone got killed,
838
00:58:07,441 --> 00:58:10,610
and they found a revolver in my pocket.
839
00:58:10,653 --> 00:58:13,197
You didn't have anything to do with it,
did you?
840
00:58:13,239 --> 00:58:14,531
Not a thing.
841
00:58:14,573 --> 00:58:16,241
That's fine.
842
00:58:16,283 --> 00:58:18,702
Now tell us another bedtime story.
843
00:58:21,038 --> 00:58:24,750
Hey, what does he look like, Number 3?
844
00:58:28,963 --> 00:58:33,402
Swing around there, buddy,
so I can get a good look at you.
845
00:58:33,426 --> 00:58:37,096
Don't be bashful, I'm not gonna bite you.
846
00:58:40,099 --> 00:58:44,413
Well, he ain't so bad to look at, I guess.
847
00:58:44,437 --> 00:58:48,458
He's got a face like those fellows
on the collar ads,
848
00:58:48,482 --> 00:58:52,611
and I ain't sure but what
he's got a dimple or two.
849
00:58:52,653 --> 00:58:57,153
Beautiful hair and kind of a mushy mouth.
850
00:58:57,366 --> 00:59:00,994
Looks like one of those lady killers,
if you ask me.
851
00:59:02,496 --> 00:59:06,996
The kind a silly dame is bound to fall for.
852
00:59:09,211 --> 00:59:11,713
What's your name, new guy?
853
00:59:15,217 --> 00:59:17,612
Moran, Bob Moran.
854
00:59:17,636 --> 00:59:19,512
Moran, huh?
855
00:59:19,555 --> 00:59:24,055
Say, ain't you the guy I been reading about
that stole Thunderbolt's girl?
856
00:59:24,852 --> 00:59:28,081
<i>Take me out to the ball game</i>

<i>Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack</i>

It might interest you to know
the guy across the way from you
860
00:59:37,239 --> 00:59:40,992
is a party by the name of Thunderbolt.
861
00:59:41,035 --> 00:59:43,662
You two guys oughta know each other better.
862
00:59:43,704 --> 00:59:48,204
<i>One, two, three strikes, you're out,
at the old ball game</i>
863
00:59:49,418 --> 00:59:52,003
You put me in here, you framed me!
864
00:59:52,046 --> 00:59:54,465
You know I'm innocent, you're in on it!
865
00:59:54,507 --> 00:59:57,360
I'd like to get my hands on you just once!
866
00:59:57,384 --> 01:00:00,072
Just once, just once!
867
01:00:00,096 --> 01:00:02,741
<i>If I never get back,
let me root, root, root</i>
868
01:00:02,765 --> 01:00:04,618
You've got me wrong, kid.
869
01:00:04,642 --> 01:00:06,536
I've never done anything to you.
870
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:11,060
You're a dirty liar, you framed me,
you got me into this!
871
01:00:11,273 --> 01:00:14,776
I'm not afraid of you, I'm not scared!
872
01:00:14,819 --> 01:00:17,571
I'm not afraid to die!
873
01:00:28,499 --> 01:00:32,377
Over, lay over.
874
01:00:32,419 --> 01:00:35,380
Thatta boy, there.
875
01:00:37,508 --> 01:00:39,402
Say, Thunderbolt!
876
01:00:39,426 --> 01:00:43,865
If it's all the same to you, will you stop
teaching that dog to roll over and play dead?
877
01:00:43,889 --> 01:00:46,099
He's giving me the willies.
878
01:01:22,469 --> 01:01:24,489
Get the handcuff crew.
879
01:01:24,513 --> 01:01:27,576
Hey, up there on the upper deck,
front and center.
880
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:29,435
Yo!
881
01:01:38,736 --> 01:01:42,740
The district attorney wants to see you,
down in my office.
882
01:01:45,618 --> 01:01:46,827
What does he want?
883
01:01:46,869 --> 01:01:48,245
I don't know.
884
01:01:49,997 --> 01:01:53,583
Well,
I don't want him bothering me anymore.
885
01:01:53,626 --> 01:01:56,170
I got enough to worry about as it is.
886
01:01:56,212 --> 01:02:00,712
Well, you haven't got much longer
to worry about anything.
887
01:02:01,425 --> 01:02:04,571
So you've set the date for my kick-off,
have you?
888
01:02:04,595 --> 01:02:06,031
Yup.
889
01:02:06,055 --> 01:02:09,367
I've got two for the
week of January the 7th.
890
01:02:09,391 --> 01:02:11,995
Who's the other one?
891
01:02:12,019 --> 01:02:15,957
Moran goes on Monday
and you're set for Saturday.
892
01:02:15,981 --> 01:02:18,066
That's great.
893
01:02:20,152 --> 01:02:23,238
You know, I was glad that your lawyers
got you that temporary reprieve
894
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,490
so that you could be
around a little while longer.
895
01:02:25,532 --> 01:02:27,784
You don't take it so hard.
896
01:02:27,826 --> 01:02:30,370
But some of these other fellas...
897
01:02:30,412 --> 01:02:33,498
- Come on, get him out of there.
- Hey, warden!
898
01:02:37,419 --> 01:02:41,464
I may be seconds to death,
but you've got no right to make me listen
899
01:02:41,507 --> 01:02:45,362
to that same piece of music
every time that band plays here.
900
01:02:45,386 --> 01:02:47,447
It's cruel and inhuman.
901
01:02:47,471 --> 01:02:51,224
I come here for rest and recreation.
902
01:02:53,185 --> 01:02:55,789
You're just plain ungrateful, that's all.
903
01:02:55,813 --> 01:02:57,666
I'm sorry you ever came here.
904
01:02:57,690 --> 01:03:00,192
So am I!
905
01:03:03,654 --> 01:03:06,239
Come on, bring him out.
906
01:03:49,783 --> 01:03:51,993
Sit down, Jim.
907
01:03:55,748 --> 01:03:57,458
How are you, McKay?
908
01:03:57,499 --> 01:03:59,751
Let's get down to cases, Jim.
909
01:03:59,793 --> 01:04:02,128
You know me and you
know the kind of a man I am.
910
01:04:02,171 --> 01:04:03,255
Yeah.
911
01:04:03,297 --> 01:04:06,151
I don't want to send an
innocent man to his death.
912
01:04:06,175 --> 01:04:10,030
As a matter of fact, I'd fight just as hard
to get an innocent man out of here
913
01:04:10,054 --> 01:04:12,490
as I would fight to put
a guilty man in here.
914
01:04:12,514 --> 01:04:14,075
All right, I'll vote for you.
915
01:04:14,099 --> 01:04:16,578
What are you running for?
916
01:04:16,602 --> 01:04:18,812
This is a serious matter, Jim.
917
01:04:18,854 --> 01:04:20,749
It'll pay you to be serious about it.
918
01:04:20,773 --> 01:04:23,984
I may be helping to snuff out the life
of an innocent man.
919
01:04:24,026 --> 01:04:26,611
You mean you're sorry for railroading me?
920
01:04:26,653 --> 01:04:29,947
Several people have been to see me
about Bob Moran.
921
01:04:29,990 --> 01:04:34,490
He's the man you were going to kill
the night you were caught.
922
01:04:35,621 --> 01:04:37,748
I was going to kill?
923
01:04:37,790 --> 01:04:40,250
You got me mixed up with somebody.
924
01:04:40,292 --> 01:04:43,920
I make it a point never to kill any Morans.
925
01:04:45,756 --> 01:04:47,984
Then why did you go
to his apartment that night?
926
01:04:48,008 --> 01:04:49,819
I'll bite, why did I?
927
01:04:49,843 --> 01:04:52,530
You tell me, you know everything.
928
01:04:52,554 --> 01:04:54,449
That kind of an attitude won't help you...
929
01:04:54,473 --> 01:04:56,826
I'm not looking for help.
930
01:04:56,850 --> 01:04:59,978
When I want your help, I'll let you know.
931
01:05:27,005 --> 01:05:29,007
Do you know this lady?
932
01:05:30,717 --> 01:05:33,863
No, who is she?
933
01:05:33,887 --> 01:05:36,931
Bob Moran is my son.
934
01:05:40,769 --> 01:05:42,979
He's my only child.
935
01:05:46,608 --> 01:05:51,108
I came down here to ask you
to help me to save him.
936
01:05:56,243 --> 01:06:00,080
Well, I guess it's no use, is it?
937
01:06:00,122 --> 01:06:03,667
What's the idea of pulling
this sob stuff on me?
938
01:06:03,709 --> 01:06:05,794
Just a minute.
939
01:06:12,551 --> 01:06:15,738
Oh, Mary.
940
01:06:15,762 --> 01:06:17,221
Oh!
941
01:06:21,310 --> 01:06:23,937
Jim, you're not going
through with this, are you?
942
01:06:23,979 --> 01:06:26,940
What are you talking about?
943
01:06:27,024 --> 01:06:28,316
I know you, Jim.
944
01:06:28,358 --> 01:06:31,903
You're a killer, but you were always fair.
945
01:06:31,945 --> 01:06:33,655
You were never mean.
946
01:06:33,697 --> 01:06:35,699
You were never cruel.
947
01:06:35,741 --> 01:06:38,452
Have I got to listen
to all this junk, warden?
948
01:06:38,494 --> 01:06:40,871
No, not if you don't want to.
949
01:06:40,913 --> 01:06:42,873
You listen to me, Jim.
950
01:06:42,915 --> 01:06:45,792
You had Bob framed for that killing.
951
01:06:45,834 --> 01:06:48,044
You said you would get him and you did.
952
01:06:48,086 --> 01:06:50,254
What's the idea?
953
01:06:50,297 --> 01:06:53,383
What are you trying
to frame up on me here?
954
01:07:00,057 --> 01:07:04,037
I guess that'll be all, warden.
955
01:07:04,061 --> 01:07:05,937
Oh, Mary.
956
01:07:13,946 --> 01:07:17,199
Jim, those two women need that boy.
957
01:07:17,241 --> 01:07:21,741
If there's anything you can say
that will help them, say it now.
958
01:07:24,122 --> 01:07:26,624
Home, James.
959
01:07:39,805 --> 01:07:44,244
I don't see how I can
win him off for you folks.
960
01:07:44,268 --> 01:07:48,164
You mean,
you mean you won't reopen the case?
961
01:07:48,188 --> 01:07:50,416
There's nothing I can do.
962
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:52,608
The only chance we had
was for him to confess.
963
01:07:52,651 --> 01:07:54,277
But it was clear from his attitude.
964
01:07:54,319 --> 01:07:57,989
- Surely you could see...
- Attitudes don't count, I'm sorry.
965
01:07:58,031 --> 01:08:00,450
We need evidence.
966
01:08:28,478 --> 01:08:30,813
All right, lock him up!
967
01:08:58,050 --> 01:09:00,486
I guess you'd like to get close to Moran,
wouldn't you?
968
01:09:00,510 --> 01:09:02,155
Well, you're not going to!
969
01:09:02,179 --> 01:09:03,865
Why not?
970
01:09:03,889 --> 01:09:05,098
I wouldn't hurt him.
971
01:09:05,140 --> 01:09:06,909
Not much, you wouldn't.
972
01:09:06,933 --> 01:09:08,703
I can't quite get your angle.
973
01:09:08,727 --> 01:09:11,080
Aren't you satisfied he's
going to be executed?
974
01:09:11,104 --> 01:09:12,540
What more do you want?
975
01:09:12,564 --> 01:09:15,650
I don't settle my debts that way.
976
01:09:15,692 --> 01:09:18,277
I'm going to get him myself.
977
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:21,197
If you ever get any closer to him
than you are right now,
978
01:09:21,239 --> 01:09:23,866
it'll be over my dead body!
979
01:10:03,031 --> 01:10:07,531
Dearly beloved, we are gathered together
here in sight of God
980
01:10:08,370 --> 01:10:12,870
and in the face of this company to join together
this man and this woman in holy matrimony,
981
01:10:16,253 --> 01:10:20,753
which is an honorable estate
and is not by any to be entered into
982
01:10:20,966 --> 01:10:25,466
unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently.
983
01:10:26,179 --> 01:10:30,679
Into this holy estate, these two
persons present come now to be joined.
984
01:10:31,309 --> 01:10:35,809
If any man can show just cause why
they may not lawfully be joined together,
985
01:10:36,606 --> 01:10:41,106
let him now speak or else hereafter
forever hold his peace.
986
01:10:43,321 --> 01:10:46,907
Wilt thou have this woman
to be thy wedded wife?
987
01:10:46,950 --> 01:10:51,450
Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor
and keep her in sickness and in health,
988
01:10:53,582 --> 01:10:58,082
and forsaking all others, keep thee only
unto her so long as you both shall live?
989
01:11:02,174 --> 01:11:03,651
I Will.
990
01:11:03,675 --> 01:11:06,946
Wilt thou have this man
to be thy wedded husband?
991
01:11:06,970 --> 01:11:11,470
Wilt thou obey him and serve him, love,
honor, and keep him in sickness and in health,
992
01:11:14,102 --> 01:11:18,602
and forsaking all others, keep thee only
unto him so long as you both shall live?
993
01:11:22,611 --> 01:11:24,112
I Will.
994
01:11:24,154 --> 01:11:28,032
Who giveth this woman
to be married to this man?
995
01:11:29,868 --> 01:11:31,619
I do.
996
01:11:34,372 --> 01:11:37,041
Repeat after me.
997
01:11:37,083 --> 01:11:41,583
- With this ring I thee wed.
- With this ring I thee wed.
998
01:11:42,923 --> 01:11:47,423
- And with all my worldly goods, I thee endow.
- And with all my worldly goods, I thee endow.
999
01:11:53,016 --> 01:11:57,516
Those whom God hath joined together,
let no man put asunder.
1000
01:11:58,271 --> 01:12:02,441
I now pronounce you man and wife.
1001
01:12:02,484 --> 01:12:04,235
Oh, my poor children.
1002
01:12:04,277 --> 01:12:06,862
Oh, my poor children!
1003
01:12:06,905 --> 01:12:10,116
I'm sorry but your time is up.
1004
01:12:12,118 --> 01:12:13,744
You'll have to go now, Mrs. Moran.
1005
01:12:13,787 --> 01:12:15,246
Oh, my boy!
1006
01:12:15,288 --> 01:12:17,790
Just a minute, warden.
1007
01:12:19,835 --> 01:12:24,335
Let me be the first
to give them a wedding present.
1008
01:12:24,923 --> 01:12:28,444
Moran doesn't belong in here.
1009
01:12:28,468 --> 01:12:30,947
They were right.
1010
01:12:30,971 --> 01:12:33,765
I had him framed.
1011
01:12:39,729 --> 01:12:42,208
Jim.
1012
01:12:42,232 --> 01:12:44,234
You keep out of this.
1013
01:12:44,276 --> 01:12:48,776
I'm talking to the warden,
and get away from me
1014
01:12:49,239 --> 01:12:52,659
before I change my mind.
1015
01:12:52,701 --> 01:12:55,245
What did he say, dear?
What did he say?
1016
01:12:55,287 --> 01:12:58,581
He means that Bob is going to be free now.
1017
01:13:05,881 --> 01:13:08,174
You're to blame for this!
1018
01:13:08,216 --> 01:13:11,070
I've been in this racket now for 30 years
1019
01:13:11,094 --> 01:13:14,198
and this is the first time
I ever saw anything like this happen.
1020
01:13:14,222 --> 01:13:17,577
Four hours before an execution!
1021
01:13:17,601 --> 01:13:21,539
Before anything else happens, I'm going
to call up the governor and get a stay.
1022
01:13:21,563 --> 01:13:24,524
Maybe you better take my statement first.
1023
01:13:24,566 --> 01:13:26,234
I know what to do!
1024
01:13:26,276 --> 01:13:28,486
I've been running a jail all my life.
1025
01:13:28,528 --> 01:13:32,240
Don't you try to teach me my business.
1026
01:13:32,282 --> 01:13:35,535
Come on, you two,
you've just got to go now.
1027
01:13:35,577 --> 01:13:37,704
You'll have to leave now, madam.
1028
01:13:40,624 --> 01:13:42,292
I knew you'd come through, Jim.
1029
01:13:42,334 --> 01:13:44,252
Oh, leave me alone.
1030
01:13:44,294 --> 01:13:46,379
Oh, thank you.
1031
01:13:46,421 --> 01:13:49,006
Thank you, Mr. Thunderbolt.
1032
01:14:04,564 --> 01:14:06,649
Go on, close it.
1033
01:14:23,166 --> 01:14:25,251
You've done a wonderful thing, Jim.
1034
01:14:27,462 --> 01:14:30,882
Well, I've been here a long time now
1035
01:14:30,924 --> 01:14:35,424
and I'm shuffling off
at the end of the week.
1036
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:40,220
I've had a lot of time
to think things over.
1037
01:14:50,193 --> 01:14:52,195
Better lie down, Bob.
1038
01:14:52,237 --> 01:14:55,114
Try and get some sleep.
1039
01:14:55,156 --> 01:14:56,782
I wanna speak to him.
1040
01:14:56,825 --> 01:14:58,785
I wanna thank him.
1041
01:14:58,827 --> 01:15:02,080
I wanna shake his hand.
1042
01:15:02,122 --> 01:15:06,622
We'll shake hands on Saturday when I go.
1043
01:15:10,171 --> 01:15:12,381
Hey, Thunderbolt!
1044
01:15:12,424 --> 01:15:15,069
What's the idea, you going nuts?
1045
01:15:15,093 --> 01:15:18,012
I thought you didn't like that guy!
1046
01:15:25,937 --> 01:15:28,791
A little music, professor.
1047
01:15:28,815 --> 01:15:33,315
<i>Summertime, summertime</i>
1048
01:15:33,695 --> 01:15:38,195
<i>We will be together in sunny weather</i>
1049
01:15:38,366 --> 01:15:42,703
<i>Down the lane once again</i>
1050
01:15:42,746 --> 01:15:46,875
<i>Sweetheart, you and I!</i>
1051
01:15:46,916 --> 01:15:51,211
<i>Summertime, summertime</i>
1052
01:15:51,254 --> 01:15:55,754
<i>Wedding bells will chime</i>
1053
01:15:56,426 --> 01:15:59,196
<i>All will be sunny</i>
1054
01:15:59,220 --> 01:16:01,513
<i>Peaches, cream, and honey</i>
1055
01:16:01,556 --> 01:16:06,056
<i>In the summertime</i>
1056
01:16:10,690 --> 01:16:12,983
Aw, now don't argue with me.
1057
01:16:13,026 --> 01:16:17,526
I just left Thunderbolt playing checkers
with Moran and I know what I'm talking about.
1058
01:16:18,239 --> 01:16:20,407
He had to get Moran reprieved.
1059
01:16:20,450 --> 01:16:24,162
He's always had his mind set on
bumping off this cluck all by his self
1060
01:16:24,204 --> 01:16:27,999
and this is the only way he could do it.
1061
01:16:28,041 --> 01:16:31,252
You guys give me a pain.
1062
01:16:31,294 --> 01:16:33,713
No imagination.
1063
01:16:36,091 --> 01:16:40,591
He's gonna wait until they opens up the
door to take him for the last walk, see?
1064
01:16:42,472 --> 01:16:46,869
Then he's gonna go over to say goodbye
to the boyfriend.
1065
01:16:46,893 --> 01:16:48,871
Now, get me.
1066
01:16:48,895 --> 01:16:51,791
I'm Thunderbolt and you're the kid, see?
1067
01:16:51,815 --> 01:16:55,544
They opens up the cell door
and starts me for the walk.
1068
01:16:55,568 --> 01:17:00,068
Then I goes over to say goodbye
to the boyfriend.
1069
01:17:01,116 --> 01:17:03,952
I sticks out the left hand.
1070
01:17:03,993 --> 01:17:05,285
See, boys?
1071
01:17:05,328 --> 01:17:09,540
This is the minute
that Thunderbolt's been waiting for.
1072
01:17:09,582 --> 01:17:13,961
Well, "80 long, pal," I says.
1073
01:17:14,003 --> 01:17:18,503
And then socko right through the bar.
1074
01:17:32,272 --> 01:17:33,690
All right.
1075
01:17:36,359 --> 01:17:39,195
Hey, wait a minute.
1076
01:17:39,237 --> 01:17:42,156
This invitation is for
last week's execution.
1077
01:17:42,198 --> 01:17:46,698
What do you think we do here,
give out rain checks?
1078
01:17:46,870 --> 01:17:48,162
Out.
1079
01:17:51,624 --> 01:17:53,208
What a heart.
1080
01:17:53,251 --> 01:17:55,294
Good for a hundred years.
1081
01:17:57,380 --> 01:17:59,632
It oughta be.
1082
01:17:59,674 --> 01:18:02,259
It's only been jilted once.
1083
01:18:04,345 --> 01:18:07,848
She's Mrs. Moran now.
1084
01:18:22,989 --> 01:18:25,783
Hey, gimme a light, will you, Timothy?
1085
01:18:33,333 --> 01:18:34,500
What's the matter, Moran?
1086
01:18:34,542 --> 01:18:39,042
Aren't you happy
now that you're getting out of here?
1087
01:18:39,088 --> 01:18:40,798
I'm not worried about myself.
1088
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:43,652
I'm getting out in a couple of weeks
the warden said.
1089
01:18:43,676 --> 01:18:45,905
I'm worried about you.
1090
01:18:45,929 --> 01:18:48,640
Don't you worry about me.
1091
01:18:53,144 --> 01:18:56,457
Hey, Timothy, these clothes don't fit me.
1092
01:18:56,481 --> 01:18:58,083
Take a squint at them.
1093
01:18:58,107 --> 01:19:00,609
How do you think I'm going to look?
1094
01:19:00,652 --> 01:19:03,154
What do you care how you're going to look?
1095
01:19:03,196 --> 01:19:06,032
You're not going anywhere.
1096
01:19:06,074 --> 01:19:09,452
And my name is not Timothy!
1097
01:19:09,494 --> 01:19:11,078
Well, don't get sore about it.
1098
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:13,872
I'll guess it before I'm through.
1099
01:19:19,087 --> 01:19:22,882
Come on, boy, we got
a couple of minutes more to play.
1100
01:20:14,017 --> 01:20:18,517
Whereas... give me your attention, Jim.
1101
01:20:18,563 --> 01:20:21,065
Whereas at a trial time on the...
1102
01:20:23,568 --> 01:20:27,280
You don't need to read
that death warrant to me, warden.
1103
01:20:27,322 --> 01:20:30,450
I know it backwards.
1104
01:20:30,491 --> 01:20:32,261
- I beg your pardon...
- Don't you bother me now
1105
01:20:32,285 --> 01:20:34,662
when I've got my mind
full of a million details.
1106
01:20:34,704 --> 01:20:36,414
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir, no, sir!
1107
01:20:36,456 --> 01:20:38,207
Yes, sir.
1108
01:20:40,501 --> 01:20:42,669
I knew I'd forgotten something.
1109
01:20:42,712 --> 01:20:43,921
What do you want for lunch?
1110
01:20:43,963 --> 01:20:45,441
You can have anything you want, you know.
1111
01:20:45,465 --> 01:20:47,276
All we've got to do is to bring it in.
1112
01:20:47,300 --> 01:20:49,802
Lunch, what time is it?
1113
01:20:49,844 --> 01:20:51,238
Three minutes after eleven.
1114
01:20:51,262 --> 01:20:53,032
What time is the big show?
1115
01:20:53,056 --> 01:20:55,159
11:20.
1116
01:20:55,183 --> 01:20:59,496
So you're going to give
me 17 minutes to eat it, huh?
1117
01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:03,208
Well, I'm not going to bolt
my food down in a hurry.
1118
01:21:03,232 --> 01:21:07,732
I'd have indigestion all afternoon.
1119
01:21:07,820 --> 01:21:09,780
I'll tell you what I would like to have,
warden.
1120
01:21:09,822 --> 01:21:12,282
Anything within reason, Jim.
1121
01:21:12,325 --> 01:21:14,994
- I'd like to have a good shot of...
- Nothing doing.
1122
01:21:15,036 --> 01:21:18,456
The only stuff we've got is in the hospital
and you've got to be sick to get it.
1123
01:21:18,498 --> 01:21:19,582
Well, I'm sick.
1124
01:21:19,624 --> 01:21:21,667
Who's got a better right to be?
1125
01:21:21,709 --> 01:21:23,794
You are sick, aren't you?
1126
01:21:23,836 --> 01:21:26,046
On the level, you don't feel good, do you?
1127
01:21:26,089 --> 01:21:27,882
I feel terrible.
1128
01:21:27,924 --> 01:21:30,527
I feel like I'm going to die.
1129
01:21:30,551 --> 01:21:34,198
Hey, guys, Thunderbolt
says he don't feel so good!
1130
01:21:34,222 --> 01:21:36,724
He feels like he's gonna die!
1131
01:21:42,772 --> 01:21:46,275
Well, I'll see what I can do about
getting you a little something.
1132
01:21:51,656 --> 01:21:53,157
How do you feel, Jim?
1133
01:21:53,199 --> 01:21:54,325
Same as ever.
1134
01:21:54,367 --> 01:21:56,452
The same as ever?
1135
01:21:56,494 --> 01:21:57,953
Yup.
1136
01:21:57,995 --> 01:22:00,497
You and me can't do any business.
1137
01:22:00,540 --> 01:22:04,669
I've lived all my life
without what you stand for
1138
01:22:04,710 --> 01:22:08,213
and I guess I'll have to die the same way.
1139
01:22:08,256 --> 01:22:12,756
You don't mind my sticking around
in case you change your mind?
1140
01:22:13,136 --> 01:22:15,888
Make yourself right at home.
1141
01:22:15,930 --> 01:22:18,033
Hey, Thunderbolt.
1142
01:22:18,057 --> 01:22:22,371
What do you want us to sing
when you're going to your dance?
1143
01:22:22,395 --> 01:22:26,625
I don't know, what have you got?
1144
01:22:26,649 --> 01:22:29,360
Well, how about Brokenhearted?
1145
01:22:29,402 --> 01:22:31,987
That oughta fit you like a glove.
1146
01:22:32,029 --> 01:22:36,158
<i>There she is, my old gal</i>
1147
01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:40,700
<i>There he is, my old pal</i>
1148
01:22:40,913 --> 01:22:45,413
<i>And here am I, brokenhearted</i>
1149
01:22:48,129 --> 01:22:50,840
How do you like that?
1150
01:22:50,882 --> 01:22:53,050
That's not so bad.
1151
01:22:55,219 --> 01:22:57,763
How do you like it, Moran?
1152
01:23:10,276 --> 01:23:12,236
Here you are.
1153
01:23:24,081 --> 01:23:26,208
You better take this, warden.
1154
01:23:26,250 --> 01:23:28,835
You need it worse than I do.
1155
01:23:36,886 --> 01:23:39,323
I certainly did need it.
1156
01:23:39,347 --> 01:23:41,783
You ought to be glad
you haven't got my job.
1157
01:23:41,807 --> 01:23:44,601
You have no idea what I go through.
1158
01:23:57,949 --> 01:23:59,617
Don't you worry, boy.
1159
01:23:59,659 --> 01:24:02,536
It's me that's going, not you.
1160
01:24:02,578 --> 01:24:05,122
- Everything all set?
- Yup!
1161
01:24:12,797 --> 01:24:14,673
Let's go.
1162
01:24:24,684 --> 01:24:26,703
So long, Shorty.
1163
01:24:26,727 --> 01:24:27,829
See you soon.
1164
01:24:27,853 --> 01:24:28,997
Thanks, Thunderbolt.
1165
01:24:29,021 --> 01:24:30,374
Send us a postcard.
1166
01:24:30,398 --> 01:24:34,151
Sure, "X marks my room,
wish you were here."
1167
01:24:34,193 --> 01:24:36,820
Jim, aren't you gonna say goodbye to me?
1168
01:24:36,862 --> 01:24:39,155
Me not say goodbye to you?
1169
01:24:39,198 --> 01:24:41,575
I'll be back in a minute, Moran.
1170
01:24:41,617 --> 01:24:44,286
I'm saving you for the last.
1171
01:24:44,328 --> 01:24:48,165
<i>There she is, my old gal</i>
1172
01:24:48,207 --> 01:24:51,835
<i>There he is, my old pal</i>
1173
01:24:51,877 --> 01:24:56,377
<i>And here am I, brokenhearted</i>
1174
01:25:00,303 --> 01:25:04,616
<i>Mine in May, his in June</i>
1175
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:08,495
<i>She forgot mighty soon</i>
1176
01:25:08,519 --> 01:25:12,291
<i>And here am I, right here</i>
1177
01:25:12,315 --> 01:25:16,068
<i>Brokenhearted</i>
1178
01:25:16,152 --> 01:25:20,614
<i>The last time that we said goodbye</i>
1179
01:25:20,656 --> 01:25:24,534
<i>I knew that she was through</i>
1180
01:25:24,577 --> 01:25:29,077
<i>It's bad enough that I lost her</i>
1181
01:25:29,206 --> 01:25:33,706
<i>I had to lose him too</i>
1182
01:25:33,961 --> 01:25:38,423
<i>There they go, feel their joy</i>
1183
01:25:38,466 --> 01:25:42,779
<i>Happy girl, lucky boy</i>
1184
01:25:42,803 --> 01:25:47,303
<i>And here am I</i>
1185
01:25:47,642 --> 01:25:52,142
<i>Brokenhearted</i>
1186
01:25:59,528 --> 01:26:02,531
So long, pal.
1187
01:26:02,573 --> 01:26:06,243
I wish I could help you now, Jim,
the way you helped me.
1188
01:26:13,876 --> 01:26:18,005
Funny, sizing us two up,
1189
01:26:18,047 --> 01:26:22,547
nobody would ever think
you were the better man.
1190
01:26:23,427 --> 01:26:25,572
You're the better man, Jim.
1191
01:26:25,596 --> 01:26:28,116
You've taught me a let
these last couple of days.
1192
01:26:28,140 --> 01:26:32,640
You'll be seeing Ritzie soon,
won't you, Moran?
1193
01:26:36,315 --> 01:26:40,815
She's a great little girl, isn't she?
1194
01:26:41,153 --> 01:26:45,653
You were pretty lucky
to take her away from me, weren't you?
1195
01:26:46,617 --> 01:26:49,745
I didn't mean to tell you, Jim,
but I guess I will.
1196
01:26:49,787 --> 01:26:51,997
Somehow I think you ought to know.
1197
01:26:52,039 --> 01:26:53,832
I oughta know what?
1198
01:26:53,874 --> 01:26:56,585
I didn't take her away from you, Jim.
1199
01:26:56,627 --> 01:26:59,504
It was you that took her away from me.
1200
01:27:04,510 --> 01:27:07,155
I took her away from you?
1201
01:27:07,179 --> 01:27:11,679
We've always been sweethearts,
since we were kids, and then she met you.
1202
01:27:12,601 --> 01:27:16,498
I didn't amount to much
and she thought you were wonderful.
1203
01:27:16,522 --> 01:27:21,022
She never told me anything about that.
1204
01:27:23,195 --> 01:27:26,198
I guess I was nothing to brag about.
1205
01:27:32,163 --> 01:27:36,663
I always did have a peculiar habit of
taking things that didn't belong to me.
1206
01:27:40,004 --> 01:27:42,589
That's why I'm here.
1207
01:27:53,225 --> 01:27:57,725
You're kinda crazy about her, aren't you?
1208
01:27:57,855 --> 01:28:01,042
I love her, Jim.
1209
01:28:01,066 --> 01:28:05,566
Well, I guess I do too.
1210
01:28:05,696 --> 01:28:08,365
I still do.
1211
01:28:20,169 --> 01:28:21,795
Good luck, kid.
1212
01:28:21,837 --> 01:28:24,089
Good luck to you both.
1213
01:28:24,131 --> 01:28:27,134
Give her my love.
1214
01:28:27,176 --> 01:28:30,304
And take care of her, whatever you do.
1215
01:28:54,912 --> 01:28:59,412
Well, chaplain,
I might as well give you a break too.
1216
01:28:59,875 --> 01:29:01,918
Come on.
1217
01:29:27,736 --> 01:29:30,029
So long, old timer.
1218
01:29:30,072 --> 01:29:33,241
And don't take any wooden biscuits.
1219
01:29:39,039 --> 01:29:41,124
Hey, Dinty.
1220
01:29:41,166 --> 01:29:45,420
Come here, will ya,
and give me one more light?
1221
01:30:01,770 --> 01:30:04,791
Here, Dinty, I guess I'll quit smoking.
1222
01:30:04,815 --> 01:30:08,193
Thanks, and my name isn't Dinty.
1223
01:30:08,235 --> 01:30:12,322
And before you go, I want you to know
that my name is Aloysius
1224
01:30:12,364 --> 01:30:14,324
and you didn't guess it.
1225
01:30:16,076 --> 01:30:18,995
- Your name is what?
- Aloysius.
1226
01:30:22,458 --> 01:30:24,751
What did you say your name was?
1227
01:30:24,793 --> 01:30:27,754
Aloysius and you didn't guess it.
1228
01:30:31,342 --> 01:30:33,987
Who would've guessed it?
1229
01:30:34,011 --> 01:30:35,804
<i>No...</i>
1230
01:30:46,857 --> 01:30:48,984
He said...

Thunderbolt Jim Lang (George Bancroft), wanted on robbery and murder charges, ventures out with his girl, "Ritzy" (Fay Wray), to a Harlem nightclub, where she informs him that she is going straight. During a raid on the club, Thunderbolt escapes. His gang shadows Ritzy and reports that she is living with Mrs. Moran (Eugenie Besserer), whose son, Bob (Richard Arlen), a bank clerk, is in love with Ritzy. Fearing for Bob's safety, Ritzy engineers a police trap for Thunderbolt; he escapes but is later captured, tried, and sentenced to be executed at Sing Sing. From the death house, he successfully plots to frame Bob in a bank robbery and killing. Bob is placed in the facing cell, and guards frustrate Thunderbolt's attempts to get to his rival. When Ritzy marries Bob in the death house, Thunderbolt confesses his part in Bob's conviction. He plots to kill the boy on the night of his execution, but instead at the last minute his hand falls on Bob's shoulder in a gesture of friendship.

00:01:58,150 --> 00:02:01,030
(applause)
2
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,210
(applause continues)
3
00:02:26,210 --> 00:02:29,890
<i>Thrice happy he who hides
from pomp and power</i>
4
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:33,590
<i>in sylvan shade
or solitary bower</i>
5
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,630
<i>where balmy zephyrs
fan his burning cheeks...</i>
6
00:02:37,660 --> 00:02:41,460
- Clown! The king of clowns!
Leave the stage at once!
7
00:02:43,970 --> 00:02:44,620
- Who is it?
8
00:02:44,650 --> 00:02:47,570
It's Cyrano.
I was afraid he'd do this.
9
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,250
<i>Thrice happy he
who hides from pomp and power...</i>
10
00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:54,910
- Wretch! Did I not forbid
you to appear this month?
11
00:02:57,940 --> 00:02:59,260
- Let's be quiet.
- Quiet!
12
00:03:00,190 --> 00:03:01,380
- Go on Montfleury.
13
00:03:04,270 --> 00:03:06,400
<i>Thrice happy he who...</i>
14
00:03:06,430 --> 00:03:07,630
- He who, indeed.
15
00:03:07,660 --> 00:03:10,730
- Donkeys say rather Hee-Haw!
16
00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:17,790
Begone! Or must I come and
help you off the stage myself?
17
00:03:21,130 --> 00:03:24,000
What! Still there?
18
00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:28,220
<i>Where balmy zephyrs
fan his burning cheeks... </i>
19
00:03:28,250 --> 00:03:32,050
Fat swine, if you dare breathe
on balmy zephyr more
20
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,640
I'll fan your cheeks
for you!
21
00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:36,480
Monsieur, won't you all
protect me?
22
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,090
- Proceed, proceed.
- Go on.
23
00:03:38,130 --> 00:03:40,880
Sir, I will not allow you
to insult me in this manner.
24
00:03:40,910 --> 00:03:43,520
Really?
What manner would you prefer?
25
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:44,850
Quiet, down there!
26
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,940
- We'll tolerate
no more of this.
27
00:03:47,870 --> 00:03:49,720
Go on with the play,
Montfleury.
28
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:52,380
(shouting criticisms)
29
00:03:52,410 --> 00:03:54,480
Unless these gentlemen
retain your seats
30
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,790
my sword may
bite their ribbons.
31
00:03:56,830 --> 00:03:58,650
Who is this braggart?
32
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,070
My cousin, sir.
33
00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:04,710
Well, Montfleury,
still no exit?
34
00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:06,930
- Very well then,
I enter
35
00:04:06,970 --> 00:04:11,740
with knife, to carve
this fat, stuffed goose.
36
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:14,800
(ominous music begins)
37
00:04:14,830 --> 00:04:18,080
(crowd clamors)
38
00:04:20,030 --> 00:04:22,170
I pray, do not crowd
my scabbard here.
39
00:04:22,210 --> 00:04:24,320
She may put her
tongue out at you.
40
00:04:24,350 --> 00:04:27,140
(shouted recriminations)
41
00:04:29,870 --> 00:04:30,990
Silence.
42
00:04:31,910 --> 00:04:33,830
I say be silent!
43
00:04:35,450 --> 00:04:38,260
And I offer one universal
challenge to you all:
44
00:04:38,460 --> 00:04:41,410
Will all who wish to die,
please raise their hands.
45
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,360
Approach, young heroes.
I will take your names.
46
00:04:45,140 --> 00:04:47,830
To the first man who falls
I'll build a monument.
47
00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:49,710
Who will head the list?
48
00:04:50,010 --> 00:04:50,780
You, sir?
49
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,000
No.
50
00:04:52,830 --> 00:04:53,610
You?
51
00:04:54,470 --> 00:04:55,170
No, no.
52
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,770
Anyone?
53
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,600
Anyone at all?
54
00:05:01,110 --> 00:05:03,550
Not one...name?
55
00:05:04,260 --> 00:05:06,420
Not one finger?
56
00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:10,260
Very well then,
I go on.
57
00:05:16,130 --> 00:05:18,810
Attend to me, Full Moon.
58
00:05:21,340 --> 00:05:24,190
I clap my hands three times, thus.
59
00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:26,740
(three claps)
60
00:05:26,770 --> 00:05:30,320
At the third, you will...
eclipse yourself.
61
00:05:30,490 --> 00:05:31,390
Ready!
62
00:05:32,110 --> 00:05:32,910
One.
63
00:05:34,010 --> 00:05:34,900
(clap)
64
00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:36,070
How dare you.
65
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:37,210
I demand!
66
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,070
I insist.
67
00:05:38,110 --> 00:05:40,150
- I call upon all the nobles...
- Two!
68
00:05:41,010 --> 00:05:42,080
(clap)
69
00:05:42,110 --> 00:05:43,090
This is an outrage.
70
00:05:43,130 --> 00:05:44,040
You hear, an outrage.
71
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:46,620
Nothing on earth
will move me from this stage.
72
00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:48,800
Three!
73
00:05:49,570 --> 00:05:49,910
(clap)
74
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:55,410
(laughter)
75
00:05:56,260 --> 00:05:59,210
Fair ladies and noble gentlemen...
- Boo!
76
00:05:59,250 --> 00:06:02,560
(laughter)
77
00:06:02,950 --> 00:06:04,210
But, Monsieur de Bergerac,
78
00:06:04,250 --> 00:06:07,490
why have you done this
to our Montfleury, an admirable actor?
79
00:06:07,530 --> 00:06:10,090
I have two reasons,
either one conclusive.
80
00:06:10,670 --> 00:06:12,800
First, he is an
abominable actor,
81
00:06:12,830 --> 00:06:15,870
who mouths his verse
and moans his tragedy.
82
00:06:16,350 --> 00:06:17,630
Second,....
83
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:20,970
Well, that's my secret.
84
00:06:22,530 --> 00:06:25,280
But...
But you've closed the play!
85
00:06:25,310 --> 00:06:26,880
It is not a very good play.
86
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:28,970
Huh!
And of their money?
87
00:06:29,010 --> 00:06:31,080
Possibly you would like
that returned to these good people.
88
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:31,960
Yes?
89
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,360
Yes.
90
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:35,830
Here,...catch!
91
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:37,920
(crowd murmurs)
92
00:06:38,410 --> 00:06:41,960
Well, Monsieur, you are hereby
authorized to close our play every night.
93
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,200
On these terms.
94
00:06:43,230 --> 00:06:43,740
(laughter)
95
00:06:43,780 --> 00:06:46,400
Ladies and gentlemen,
your money will be returned.
96
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,250
Kindly pass out, quietly.
97
00:06:48,290 --> 00:06:50,030
Goodnight, goodnight.
98
00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:53,220
(crowd accepts
in good spirits)
99
00:06:55,740 --> 00:06:57,120
(until...)
100
00:06:59,530 --> 00:07:02,610
Your cousin is an
extraordinary man, Madame.
101
00:07:02,650 --> 00:07:04,080
Oh, I agree.
102
00:07:04,410 --> 00:07:08,550
Soldier, poet, philosopher,
musician, playwright.
103
00:07:08,580 --> 00:07:09,570
All those?
104
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,360
Yes, and the best
swordsman in Paris.
105
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,310
Really?
106
00:07:14,340 --> 00:07:17,060
Now, I should have thought
the Vicomte here had that honor.
107
00:07:17,310 --> 00:07:21,360
Tell me, Madame, that
comic mask, that nose,
108
00:07:21,390 --> 00:07:23,300
presently he will take it off?
109
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:25,950
No, Monsieur, he keeps it.
110
00:07:26,450 --> 00:07:29,350
And heaven help
the man who smiles.
111
00:07:29,850 --> 00:07:31,060
Good night.
112
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,880
Oh, Monsieur!
113
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,980
Monsieur!
114
00:07:40,020 --> 00:07:42,710
Uh, when do you leave Paris?
115
00:07:43,210 --> 00:07:44,100
Sir?
116
00:07:44,250 --> 00:07:46,280
Why, after what you've
just done to Montfleury,
117
00:07:46,310 --> 00:07:48,750
did you not know that
the Compte de Guiche was his patron?
118
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:50,190
Who's yours?
119
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:52,140
No one.
120
00:07:52,170 --> 00:07:52,940
No one?
121
00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:53,870
No patron?
122
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:54,630
I said not.
123
00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:56,900
But the Compte de Guiche
has a long arm.
124
00:07:56,930 --> 00:07:58,900
Mine is longer
by three feet of steel.
125
00:07:59,530 --> 00:08:00,180
Yes, but..
126
00:08:00,860 --> 00:08:02,160
but, what a scare...
127
00:08:02,190 --> 00:08:02,990
You may go now.
128
00:08:03,020 --> 00:08:04,510
- but...
- You may go.
129
00:08:05,810 --> 00:08:08,620
Well, tell me,
why are you staring at my nose?
130
00:08:08,650 --> 00:08:10,160
Oh, I was not staring.
131
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:11,630
Does it astonish you?
132
00:08:11,660 --> 00:08:13,920
Why n...Why no, I've been careful
not to look.
133
00:08:13,950 --> 00:08:15,510
Oh, and why not, if you please?
134
00:08:15,550 --> 00:08:16,730
It disgusts you, then?
135
00:08:16,770 --> 00:08:17,880
But, no, I just...
136
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,700
Does its color appear
to you unwholesome?
137
00:08:19,730 --> 00:08:20,480
By no means.
138
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,310
Then, possibly you find it
just a trifle large?
139
00:08:22,340 --> 00:08:24,500
No, small, very small, tiny!
140
00:08:24,530 --> 00:08:25,640
Infinitesimal!
141
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,960
What?
You accuse me of absurdity?
142
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,730
Small, my nose?
Why magnificent, my nose!
143
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,900
You pug, you knob,
you button head,
144
00:08:34,930 --> 00:08:37,170
know that I glory
in this nose of mine!
145
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,400
For a great nose
indicates a great man,
146
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:45,440
congenial, courteous,
intellectual, virile, courageous.
147
00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:48,050
Whilst that face of yours,
148
00:08:48,370 --> 00:08:54,070
that blank, inglorious concavity
which my right hand finds on top of you,
149
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:59,630
is as devoid of pride, of poetry,
of soul, of picturesqueness,
150
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:04,810
of contour, of character,
of nose, in short,
151
00:09:04,850 --> 00:09:09,740
as that which is at the bottom of
that limp spine of yours my left foot...
- Oh, help!
152
00:09:09,780 --> 00:09:11,550
(laughter)
153
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:13,840
Presently, this fellow
will grow tiresome.
154
00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:16,590
Oh, he blows his horn.
155
00:09:17,330 --> 00:09:19,800
- Well, will no one
put him in his place?
156
00:09:20,270 --> 00:09:22,660
If you would all me.
Observe.
157
00:09:25,090 --> 00:09:31,260
Monsieur, your nose,
your nose is rather large.
158
00:09:34,450 --> 00:09:35,400
Rather?
159
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,350
Oh, well.
160
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:37,620
Is that all?
161
00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:38,540
Well, of course, you...
162
00:09:38,570 --> 00:09:40,400
Ah, no young sir, you're too simple.
163
00:09:40,430 --> 00:09:42,620
Why, you might have
said a great many things.
164
00:09:42,650 --> 00:09:44,800
Why waste your opportunity?
165
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:45,860
For example, thus...
166
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:47,450
Aggressive---
167
00:09:47,490 --> 00:09:51,040
I, sir, if that great nose were mine,
I would have it amputated on the spot.
168
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:52,710
Practical---
169
00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:56,570
How do you drink with such a nose.
You must have had a cup made especially.
170
00:09:56,850 --> 00:09:57,880
Descriptive---
171
00:09:57,910 --> 00:10:00,570
'Tis a rock, a crag, a cape.
172
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,510
A cape, say rather, a peninsula.
173
00:10:05,890 --> 00:10:06,990
Inquisitive---
174
00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:11,400
Uh, what is that receptacle,
a razor case or a portfolio?
175
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,680
Kindly---
176
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,840
Ah, do you love the little birds so much
that when they come and sing to you,
177
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,690
you give them this to perch on?
178
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,570
Cautious---
179
00:10:20,610 --> 00:10:24,120
Take care. A weight like that
might make you top-heavy.
180
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,250
Eloquent---
181
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,510
When it blows the typhoon howls
and the clouds darken.
182
00:10:29,580 --> 00:10:30,400
Dramatic---
183
00:10:30,430 --> 00:10:34,690
When it bleeds...the Red Sea.
184
00:10:35,540 --> 00:10:36,530
Simple---
185
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:39,640
Eh, when do they
unveil the monument?
186
00:10:40,020 --> 00:10:40,900
Military---
187
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:43,510
Beware, a secret weapon!
188
00:10:44,290 --> 00:10:45,620
Enterprising---
189
00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:48,080
What a sigh for some perfumer!
190
00:10:48,490 --> 00:10:49,300
Respectful---
191
00:10:49,330 --> 00:10:52,050
Uh sir, I recognize in you
a man of parts,
192
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,740
a man of...prominence.
193
00:10:54,770 --> 00:10:56,500
Or, Literary---
194
00:10:56,530 --> 00:10:59,360
Was this the nose
that launched a thousand ships?
195
00:11:00,010 --> 00:11:02,850
These, my dear sir, are things
you might have said had you
196
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,690
some tinge of letters or of wit
to color your discourse.
197
00:11:05,810 --> 00:11:07,970
Bit wit not so.
You never had an atom.
198
00:11:08,270 --> 00:11:14,480
And of letters, you need
but three to write you down, a..s..s.
199
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:16,530
Ass.
200
00:11:16,570 --> 00:11:18,040
- (laughter)
- You, sir!
201
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,600
Dolt! Bumpkin! Fool!
202
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:26,620
How do you do, and I,
Cyrano Savinien Hercule de Bergerac.
203
00:11:26,650 --> 00:11:28,050
Vicomte, come.
204
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,650
Such arrogance.
This scarecrow who...
205
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:31,850
Look at him!
206
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,120
No ribbons. No lace.
Not even gloves!
207
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,700
True. I carry my adornments
only on my soul.
208
00:11:39,740 --> 00:11:41,860
Decked with deeds
instead of ribbons.
209
00:11:41,890 --> 00:11:43,420
Mantled in my good name,
210
00:11:43,460 --> 00:11:45,350
and crowned with a
white plume of freedom.
211
00:11:45,380 --> 00:11:46,130
But..
212
00:11:46,170 --> 00:11:47,510
But, I have no gloves.
213
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:48,630
A pity, too.
214
00:11:48,670 --> 00:11:51,630
I had one, the last one of an old pair,
and lost that.
215
00:11:51,660 --> 00:11:53,250
Very careless of me.
216
00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:55,750
Some gentleman offered me
an impertinence.
217
00:11:55,790 --> 00:11:59,840
I left it in his face.
218
00:11:59,870 --> 00:12:00,840
So be it!
219
00:12:02,110 --> 00:12:05,050
You shall die exquisitely
220
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,160
Oh, a poet.
221
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,640
Oh, yes, a poet if you will.
222
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:11,510
So, uh, while we fight,
I'll improvise a ballad for you,
223
00:12:11,540 --> 00:12:15,270
and as I end the refrain,
...skhrch!...thrust home.
224
00:12:15,310 --> 00:12:16,280
Will you?
225
00:12:17,180 --> 00:12:18,130
I will.
226
00:12:21,820 --> 00:12:23,420
(excited crowd)
227
00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:26,890
Ballad au Duel
at the Theatre de Burgoyne
228
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,320
between de Bergerac,
and uh.....a barbarian.
229
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,240
What do you mean by that?
230
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,000
Oh, that?
231
00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:34,960
The title.
232
00:12:34,990 --> 00:12:36,570
(laughter)
233
00:12:36,610 --> 00:12:38,200
Stop. Let me choose my rhyme.
234
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:47,640
So. Here we go.
235
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:50,070
Lightly I toss my hat away.
236
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:55,440
Languidly o'er my arm let fall
the cloak that covers my bright array.
237
00:12:55,510 --> 00:13:00,770
Then, out swords,
and to work withal.
238
00:13:02,660 --> 00:13:05,720
A Lancelot in his lady's hall,
239
00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:10,580
A Spartacus at the Hippodrome,
240
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,340
I dally a while with you..
241
00:13:13,380 --> 00:13:14,750
you jackall.
242
00:13:32,810 --> 00:13:34,360
Just as I end the refrain,
243
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,380
thrust home!
244
00:13:51,290 --> 00:13:54,220
Where shall I skewer my peacock again?
245
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,160
Nay, better for you
to have shunned this brawl.
246
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,010
Here in the heart
or your ribbons, gay,
247
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,610
in the belly
'neath you silken shawl?
248
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,130
Now, come my points floats,
light as the foam
249
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,640
ready to drive you
back to the wall,
250
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:20,030
and then as I end the refrain,
251
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,440
thrust home.
252
00:14:21,930 --> 00:14:23,210
Oh, for a rhyme.
253
00:14:23,580 --> 00:14:25,060
Why, your fight is fading.
254
00:14:25,420 --> 00:14:26,040
You break.
255
00:14:26,350 --> 00:14:26,970
You cower.
256
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:27,600
You cringe.
257
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:28,200
You crawl.
258
00:14:29,310 --> 00:14:30,740
How can I tell
you're allowed to say
259
00:14:30,780 --> 00:14:31,750
something to turn on my head
260
00:14:31,790 --> 00:14:32,720
forestall.....
261
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:33,660
Life with a tunny
262
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:34,970
death with a scall.
263
00:14:35,010 --> 00:14:36,760
Something to turn on my fancy roam,
264
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,670
free for a time till the rhyme's recall,
265
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,620
then as I end the refrain,
266
00:14:40,650 --> 00:14:41,620
thrust home!
267
00:14:43,810 --> 00:14:44,670
Refrain.
268
00:14:45,550 --> 00:14:48,960
Prince,
pray God that is Lord of all,
269
00:14:48,990 --> 00:14:50,840
pardon you soul,
270
00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:54,190
for your time has come.
271
00:14:56,860 --> 00:14:58,820
Pass! I fling you aslant, asprawl.
272
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:00,590
Then as I end the refrain,
273
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,680
thrust home!
274
00:15:41,820 --> 00:15:45,390
(shouts of hurray
and congratulation)
275
00:15:47,130 --> 00:15:49,470
Ladies and gentlemen,
please, please,
276
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:50,790
not until the performance is over.
277
00:15:51,070 --> 00:15:51,980
Close the house.
278
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:52,820
A strike,
279
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,340
but leave the lights.
280
00:15:54,380 --> 00:15:56,070
We rehearse the new
farce tonight.
281
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,240
Wait.
282
00:16:04,110 --> 00:16:05,570
You have only to watch a fight,
283
00:16:05,610 --> 00:16:07,530
or have you ruined
if you listen to them.
284
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:11,570
Think of the enemies you've made,
285
00:16:11,610 --> 00:16:14,050
Montfleury, the Vicomte,
if he lives,
286
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,380
all those foppish marquis,
the Comte de Guiche.
287
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:18,970
That politician.
288
00:16:19,010 --> 00:16:21,910
He's the Cardinal's nephew.
There's power there!
289
00:16:21,950 --> 00:16:23,330
And power here.
290
00:16:23,370 --> 00:16:24,680
Young fool!
291
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,540
Take an example from me.
292
00:16:26,570 --> 00:16:29,810
20 years a captain,
while others who know only
293
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,750
how to deploy their
forces at court
294
00:16:31,780 --> 00:16:33,890
now dangle a marshal's baton.
295
00:16:33,930 --> 00:16:37,360
Well, uh, someday
I will avenge you, too.
296
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,530
Impossible.
Come on, let's go to dinner.
297
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,830
Dinner?
No, not I.
298
00:16:41,860 --> 00:16:42,540
Why not?
299
00:16:42,580 --> 00:16:44,530
Because I have no money.
300
00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:46,150
But, the purse of gold.
301
00:16:46,180 --> 00:16:48,140
Farewell paternal pension.
302
00:16:48,180 --> 00:16:51,430
And you have
until the first of next month?
303
00:16:51,470 --> 00:16:52,310
Nothing.
304
00:16:53,140 --> 00:16:54,460
What a fool.
305
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:56,770
Yes, but, what a moment.
306
00:16:56,810 --> 00:16:57,670
- Pardon, Monsieur.
307
00:17:00,010 --> 00:17:01,770
A man ought
never to go hungry.
308
00:17:02,690 --> 00:17:04,150
I have everything here.
309
00:17:05,490 --> 00:17:06,360
Please.
310
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,080
My dear child, I cannot bend this Gascon
pride of mine to accept such a kindness.
311
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:11,820
But, I...
312
00:17:12,910 --> 00:17:15,810
Yet, for fear that
I may give you pain if I refuse,
313
00:17:16,550 --> 00:17:18,190
I will take something.
314
00:17:19,630 --> 00:17:20,660
A grape.
315
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:25,160
One only.
316
00:17:25,820 --> 00:17:27,170
And a glass of water.
317
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,650
No, clear.
318
00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:35,750
And, uh,...half a macaroon.
319
00:17:37,010 --> 00:17:38,100
Nothing more?
320
00:17:39,060 --> 00:17:39,920
Why, yes.
321
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,230
Your hand to kiss.
322
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,510
Thank you, sir.
323
00:18:02,090 --> 00:18:03,100
Good night.
324
00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:10,290
Idiot.
325
00:18:13,170 --> 00:18:13,890
Dinner.
326
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,160
Drink.
327
00:18:18,830 --> 00:18:19,720
Desert.
328
00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:24,670
Mon Dieux, I was hungry,
abominably.
329
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:26,320
Tell me.
330
00:18:26,590 --> 00:18:27,440
Anything.
331
00:18:27,790 --> 00:18:29,920
Why to you hate
this Montfleury?
332
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:32,860
A very bad actor.
333
00:18:32,890 --> 00:18:34,860
Ah, come now, the real
reason, the truth.
334
00:18:36,610 --> 00:18:39,600
That fat goat who cannot hold
his belly in his arms,
335
00:18:39,630 --> 00:18:42,590
still dreams of being
sweetly dangerous among the women.
336
00:18:43,230 --> 00:18:47,610
Sighs and languishes, making sheep's
eyes out of his great frog's face.
337
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:52,750
I hate him ever since one day
he dared smile upon....
338
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,220
Oh, my friend, I seemed to see over
some flower a great snail crawling.
339
00:19:00,090 --> 00:19:01,180
Eh, what?
340
00:19:02,170 --> 00:19:03,340
Is it possible?
341
00:19:04,890 --> 00:19:06,180
For me to love?
342
00:19:08,770 --> 00:19:09,660
I love.
343
00:19:10,370 --> 00:19:12,570
Whom?
May I know?
344
00:19:12,610 --> 00:19:13,620
Whom I love?
345
00:19:15,070 --> 00:19:16,000
Think a moment.
346
00:19:16,210 --> 00:19:17,280
Think of me.
347
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,670
Me, whom the plainest
woman would despise.
348
00:19:21,030 --> 00:19:25,010
Me, with this nose of mine that
marches on before me by a quarter of an hour.
349
00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:28,000
Whom shall I love.
350
00:19:29,890 --> 00:19:34,930
Why, of course, it must be the
woman in the world most beautiful.
351
00:19:35,780 --> 00:19:37,170
Most beautiful?
352
00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:42,920
In these eyes of mine....
beyond compare.
353
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:44,070
Wait.
354
00:19:44,510 --> 00:19:46,440
Your cousin, Roxane.
355
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,300
Yes.
356
00:19:50,170 --> 00:19:51,080
Roxane.
357
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,810
Well?
358
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,020
Why not?
If you love her, tell her so.
359
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,170
My old friend.
360
00:20:01,150 --> 00:20:03,550
Look at me and tell me how
much hope remains for me
361
00:20:03,580 --> 00:20:04,970
with this protuberance.
362
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,360
Ahhh, I have no more illusions.
363
00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:12,140
Now and then I may grow tender
walking alone in the blue of evening
364
00:20:12,170 --> 00:20:16,130
through some garden fresh with flowers
after the benediction of the rain.
365
00:20:16,980 --> 00:20:20,930
My poor big devil of a nose
inhales April.
366
00:20:21,460 --> 00:20:26,950
And I follow with my eyes where
some boy with a girl upon his arm,
367
00:20:27,510 --> 00:20:32,130
passes a patch of silver...
and I feel somehow....
368
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,490
I wish I had a woman, too,
369
00:20:36,670 --> 00:20:41,660
walking with me under the moon,
and holding my arm and smiling.
370
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:44,240
Then I dream.
371
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:46,140
I forget.
372
00:20:49,510 --> 00:20:53,210
And then I see the shadow
of my profile on the wall.
373
00:20:54,750 --> 00:20:56,050
My friend.
374
00:20:57,180 --> 00:20:58,230
My friend.
375
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,370
I have my bitter days,
knowing myself so ugly, so alone.
376
00:21:03,410 --> 00:21:05,260
Ah, but your wit, your courage,
377
00:21:05,540 --> 00:21:08,170
why that poor child who just
now offered you your dinner,
378
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,710
your saw it, her eyes
did not avoid you.
379
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,920
That is true.
380
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,930
Well, then, Roxane herself,
watching your duel, pale.
381
00:21:18,970 --> 00:21:19,480
Pale?
382
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,670
Yes, her lips parted.
Her hand at her breast, thus.
383
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,020
I saw it.
384
00:21:24,260 --> 00:21:27,260
Speak to her. Speak, man.
385
00:21:35,890 --> 00:21:37,550
She might laugh at me.
386
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:42,480
It is the one thing
in this world I fear.
387
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,490
Pardon, Monsieur,
a lady outside asking for you.
388
00:21:48,410 --> 00:21:49,750
Monsieur.
389
00:21:50,340 --> 00:21:51,270
A Duenna.
390
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,530
I have a message for you
from a...a certain lady.
391
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,760
She desires to know when
and where she may see you privately.
392
00:21:57,810 --> 00:22:00,070
She has certain
things to tell you.
393
00:22:00,690 --> 00:22:01,850
Certain...
394
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,010
Things!
395
00:22:04,230 --> 00:22:05,720
She wishes to see me?
396
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,410
We go tomorrow at dawn
to hear mass at St. Rupe
397
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,070
And afterwards, where
would you suggest?
398
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:12,630
Well, then, I...
399
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:15,300
- Where?
- Well?
400
00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:17,070
Ah....I am thinking.
401
00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:18,080
And you think?
402
00:22:19,770 --> 00:22:20,590
Where?
403
00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:22,060
The shop at Ragueneau's.
404
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:24,580
Yes, yes, Ragueneau,
the pastry cook.
405
00:22:24,620 --> 00:22:25,400
Who dwells?
406
00:22:26,650 --> 00:22:27,590
Rue Saint Honore.
407
00:22:27,630 --> 00:22:28,690
Eh...Rue Saint Honore.
408
00:22:28,730 --> 00:22:33,530
We are agreed. At 7 o'clock.
Until then. Adieu.
409
00:22:38,790 --> 00:22:39,940
I'll be there.
410
00:22:41,620 --> 00:22:44,110
Me! To see me!
411
00:22:44,260 --> 00:22:45,830
Ah, not quite so gloomy.
412
00:22:45,870 --> 00:22:47,580
After all, she knows
that I exist.
413
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,060
Imagine, she has
asked to see me!
414
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:52,240
So, now you're
going to be happy?
415
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,350
Happy.
I'm going to be a storm.
A flame!
416
00:22:55,390 --> 00:22:58,430
I need to fight whole
armies all alone!
417
00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,840
I have ten hearts!
418
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,280
I have a hundred arms!.
419
00:23:01,310 --> 00:23:04,450
I feel too strong
to war with mortals!
420
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,150
BRING ME GIANTS!
421
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:11,240
Quiet, please, shhh.
We are rehearsing back here.
422
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,600
So sorry.
Ha, ha, ha.
423
00:23:21,490 --> 00:23:22,280
Cyrano.
424
00:23:22,830 --> 00:23:23,630
Cyrano.
425
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,590
Ragueneau.
426
00:23:26,150 --> 00:23:27,910
Oh, thank goodness
you're still here.
427
00:23:27,950 --> 00:23:29,180
Well, what's the matter.
428
00:23:29,210 --> 00:23:30,410
I'm afraid to go home.
429
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,040
Why?
430
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,050
You know those
comic verses I wrote?
431
00:23:33,090 --> 00:23:34,830
About the congregation.
432
00:23:34,860 --> 00:23:37,260
Cyrano, he's hired ruffians.
Bullies.
433
00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:39,740
A hundred, waiting for
me on the way home.
434
00:23:39,780 --> 00:23:41,620
They're gonna beat me.
Cane me!
435
00:23:41,650 --> 00:23:44,450
Please, would you permit me
to spend the night with you?
436
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,420
A hundred men,
is that all?
437
00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:49,610
Ragueneau, you're
going home tonight.
438
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,630
But they're armed.
They're cutthroats!
439
00:23:51,690 --> 00:23:53,620
Take this lantern.
Forward march.
440
00:23:53,660 --> 00:23:55,760
I say that I'll be the man
to see you to your shop.
441
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,150
Not you, I want no help from you.
442
00:23:57,190 --> 00:23:58,510
For even for a hundred,
you're mad.
443
00:23:58,550 --> 00:23:59,730
Those are the odds I want.
444
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,420
Why for this pastry cook?
445
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,820
First, because this
pastry cook is a friend of mine.
446
00:24:04,930 --> 00:24:07,820
Second, because this
pastry cook is also a poet.
447
00:24:07,950 --> 00:24:09,360
And, most important,
448
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:12,000
if anything should
happen to this pastry cook,
449
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:16,870
tomorrow morning at seven
his shop will be closed.
450
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:19,590
Goodnight.
451
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,060
(a whistle signal)
452
00:25:37,430 --> 00:25:38,480
Cyrano. Help!
453
00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:43,580
Look out behind you!
454
00:26:22,750 --> 00:26:23,810
I have been robbed.
455
00:26:24,370 --> 00:26:26,070
- There are no hundred here.
456
00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:32,360
It's, it's, it's...
457
00:26:33,820 --> 00:26:35,230
Be quick. Inside.
458
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,550
Bolt the door!
459
00:26:48,510 --> 00:26:49,310
Ah!
460
00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:08,660
Yah!
461
00:27:10,460 --> 00:27:12,210
(ruffians shouting)
462
00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:01,010
Ah!
463
00:28:03,860 --> 00:28:04,560
Awk.
464
00:28:05,860 --> 00:28:08,030
(ruffians shouting)
465
00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:17,280
(Le Bret)
- Cyrano!
466
00:28:17,310 --> 00:28:18,320
- Hold!
467
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:34,330
Ah.
468
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,420
How do you feel?
469
00:28:37,460 --> 00:28:39,540
Oh, pleasantly exhilarated.
470
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:42,990
- Come, I know a little tavern not far...
- Where's Ragueneau?
471
00:28:43,310 --> 00:28:46,320
Ragueneau?
Ragueneau!
472
00:28:46,730 --> 00:28:49,510
Little boy, come out.
All's well!
473
00:28:50,330 --> 00:28:51,990
- Is it over?
- All over.
474
00:28:52,220 --> 00:28:53,020
Really?
475
00:28:54,500 --> 00:28:55,340
So soon?
476
00:28:55,370 --> 00:28:56,140
Ha, ha, ha.
477
00:28:56,170 --> 00:28:59,480
Oh, if only I'd had my sword.
How many did we kill?
478
00:28:59,510 --> 00:29:00,330
Oh, about eight.
479
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:00,960
Eight.
480
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,410
Eight!
481
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,420
Ohhhh.
482
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,910
This.....gentleman
begins to annoy me.
483
00:29:31,980 --> 00:29:33,630
(Ragueneau is a poet, too.)
484
00:29:35,060 --> 00:29:40,010
No. The sauce and meat must rhyme.
Add a pinch of marigold and thyme.
485
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,960
Your house, of course, needs a stronger roof.
Eh? There's proof.
486
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:45,830
Cyrano.
487
00:29:46,830 --> 00:29:47,500
Cyrano.
488
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,100
Come in and eat.
489
00:29:49,130 --> 00:29:51,110
- What time is it?
- Not quite seven.
490
00:29:51,130 --> 00:29:54,140
Oh, now, please, Cyrano.
A man without breakfast is like...
491
00:29:54,180 --> 00:29:56,720
No.
Could she have changed her mind?
492
00:29:56,750 --> 00:29:57,920
Aw, she wouldn't dare.
493
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,900
We were magnificent last night.
494
00:30:00,370 --> 00:30:01,830
And at the theater, too.
495
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,320
'Then, as I end the refrain'....
496
00:30:04,350 --> 00:30:07,390
When she arrives.
Where can we converse undisturbed?
497
00:30:07,420 --> 00:30:09,190
Wherever you like.
My shop is yours.
498
00:30:09,310 --> 00:30:11,900
The little dining room
is quite romantic.
499
00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:14,490
'Thrust home!'
Yea gods, what a line.
500
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,650
- 'Then as I end the re....'
- Vanish.
501
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:18,110
- Uh, huh, she's come?
- Shhhh.
502
00:30:18,140 --> 00:30:18,920
I swear.
503
00:30:27,340 --> 00:30:28,170
Welcome.
504
00:30:38,470 --> 00:30:40,510
- A pardon, one word.
- Oh, yes?
505
00:30:40,550 --> 00:30:41,520
Have you a good digestion?
506
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,430
Oh, wonderful.
507
00:30:43,290 --> 00:30:48,800
Eh, here are some éclairs.
Uh, creampuffs.
508
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,160
Some, uh, jellyrolls.
And do you like nature?
509
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,400
I adore it.
510
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,760
Go out and eat these in the sunshine.
Do not return.
511
00:30:56,790 --> 00:30:57,440
But why?
512
00:30:57,470 --> 00:30:58,910
Until you have finished them.
513
00:30:58,940 --> 00:31:00,340
(outside)
- What do I do then?
514
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,750
(door closes)
515
00:31:09,970 --> 00:31:13,000
Blessed above all others be the hour
when you remember to remember me,
516
00:31:13,230 --> 00:31:15,800
and came to tell me......what?
517
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,750
To tell you that....
518
00:31:19,060 --> 00:31:21,810
Before I dare tell you I....
519
00:31:22,020 --> 00:31:24,850
Are you, I wonder, still
the same big brother almost
520
00:31:24,890 --> 00:31:26,720
that you used to be
when we were children,
521
00:31:26,750 --> 00:31:29,570
playing by the pond
in the old garden down there?
522
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,570
At Bergerac.
Those lovely summers.
523
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,700
You use to make swords
out of bulrushes.
524
00:31:33,740 --> 00:31:35,810
And you, dandelions
also golden hair.
525
00:31:35,890 --> 00:31:37,930
In those days
I could tell you everything.
526
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,860
And you did
everything I wished.
527
00:31:40,060 --> 00:31:44,830
Little Roxane, a sweet tyrone
with short skirts and long hair.
528
00:31:44,860 --> 00:31:45,780
Was I pretty?
529
00:31:49,830 --> 00:31:51,270
Not too plain.
530
00:31:52,150 --> 00:31:54,490
Sometimes when you had fallen
or hurt your hand,
531
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,670
you used to come running to me,
and I would be your mother and say,
532
00:31:57,710 --> 00:32:02,770
oh, with a very grownup voice,
'Now, what have you been doing to yourself?'
533
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,300
'Let me see.'
534
00:32:05,890 --> 00:32:07,060
- Oh!
- No one that.
535
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:08,230
Wait, let me see.
536
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,540
Still. At your age?
537
00:32:12,010 --> 00:32:13,810
Now, how did you do that?
538
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,910
Playing with the big boys
at the Place de Neanne.
539
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:18,410
Come here.
540
00:32:19,330 --> 00:32:21,020
Such a wise little mother.
541
00:32:21,030 --> 00:32:24,740
And tell me, while I wash this
blood away, how many you played with?
542
00:32:24,770 --> 00:32:26,840
- Oh, about a hundred.
- A hundred?
543
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,950
- More or less.
- It can't be.
544
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:31,080
No.
545
00:32:31,670 --> 00:32:33,720
Tell me what you were
going to tell me.....
546
00:32:34,130 --> 00:32:35,320
if you dared.
547
00:32:36,190 --> 00:32:38,060
I think I do dare, now.
548
00:32:38,860 --> 00:32:41,450
It seems so like
those happy days long ago.
549
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,780
Yes, I dare.
550
00:32:44,350 --> 00:32:47,190
Listen....I love someone.
551
00:32:47,850 --> 00:32:48,440
Yes?
552
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,150
Someone who does not know.
553
00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:51,340
Yes?
554
00:32:51,450 --> 00:32:54,970
Someone who loves me, too,
but is afraid of me and keeps away
555
00:32:55,010 --> 00:32:56,340
and never says one word.
556
00:32:57,570 --> 00:32:58,270
(softly)
Yes.
557
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,210
Give my that hand.
558
00:33:01,870 --> 00:33:03,080
Why, how hot it is.
559
00:33:04,390 --> 00:33:06,390
Yes, he loves me.
I am sure of it.
560
00:33:06,740 --> 00:33:07,530
(softly)
Yes.
561
00:33:08,110 --> 00:33:10,730
And he is a soldier, too,
in your own regiment,
562
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,710
your own company.
563
00:33:11,740 --> 00:33:12,750
(loud)
Yes.
564
00:33:13,340 --> 00:33:14,480
Such a man.
565
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,280
He is proud, noble, young, brave,
566
00:33:18,610 --> 00:33:19,700
beautiful!
567
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:22,550
(softly)
Beautiful.
568
00:33:25,180 --> 00:33:26,040
What's the matter?
569
00:33:26,460 --> 00:33:27,160
Oh, nothing.
570
00:33:28,110 --> 00:33:30,210
It's this, my hand.
571
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,280
I love him.
That is all.
572
00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:38,230
And I have never seen him
anywhere except in the theater.
573
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,710
You have never spoken?
574
00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:42,790
Only with our hearts.
575
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,080
Well, then, how do you know?
576
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:50,270
Well, people talk about people,
and I hear things, and...
577
00:33:51,370 --> 00:33:52,700
and I know.
578
00:33:53,890 --> 00:33:55,540
(firmly)
You say he is in the guards?
579
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,530
His name?
580
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,270
Baron Christian de Neuvillette.
581
00:34:02,790 --> 00:34:03,910
You know him?
582
00:34:04,290 --> 00:34:05,650
He is not in the guards.
583
00:34:05,690 --> 00:34:07,020
Yes, since last week.
584
00:34:07,770 --> 00:34:09,550
He is only lately
come to Paris...
585
00:34:09,730 --> 00:34:11,140
from Normandy.
586
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,070
So soon.
So soon we lose our hearts.
587
00:34:15,570 --> 00:34:16,160
What...
(door opens)
588
00:34:16,190 --> 00:34:17,220
(Duenna)
- Monsieur de Bergerac
589
00:34:17,250 --> 00:34:18,850
- I have eaten all the cakes.
590
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,280
Good.
Now, go out and enjoy nature.
591
00:34:23,020 --> 00:34:26,110
But my dear child, you love
only words, wit, poetry.
592
00:34:26,150 --> 00:34:29,950
Why, for all you know,
the man may be a savage or a fool.
593
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:34,290
Not with such eyes.
I read his soul in them.
594
00:34:35,270 --> 00:34:38,360
Yes, all our souls are
written in our eyes.
595
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,720
And you have brought
me here to tell me this?
596
00:34:42,980 --> 00:34:45,890
I do not yet quite understand,
madam, the reason for your confidence.
597
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:52,640
They say, that in your company,
it frightens me, you are all Gascon.
598
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,850
We pick a quarrel with any outsider
who intrudes himself.
599
00:34:54,890 --> 00:34:56,250
Is that what you have heard?
600
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,150
- I'm so afraid for him.
- Not without reason.
601
00:34:59,190 --> 00:35:03,730
And I thought you...
it's you whom they all respect and fear.
602
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,590
You want me to defend
your little Baron?
603
00:35:08,630 --> 00:35:09,740
Will you?
604
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:11,670
Just for me.
605
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,440
Because I have always
been your friend.
606
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,790
And this is what
you want of me?
607
00:35:16,820 --> 00:35:18,430
Will you be his friend?
608
00:35:20,450 --> 00:35:22,200
I will be his friend.
609
00:35:22,230 --> 00:35:23,040
And never let him
fight a duel.
610
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,060
No, never.
611
00:35:24,090 --> 00:35:24,750
Promise?
612
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:26,980
I promise.
613
00:35:27,420 --> 00:35:30,860
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
I knew I could rely on you.
614
00:35:33,930 --> 00:35:35,410
Well, now I must go.
615
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,480
Oh, you never told
me about last night.
616
00:35:43,970 --> 00:35:45,790
Why, you must
have been a hero.
617
00:35:45,820 --> 00:35:50,240
Have write and tell me all about it,
and...about himself.
618
00:35:51,420 --> 00:35:54,330
Oh, you are a darling.
We are great friends, are we not?
619
00:35:54,860 --> 00:35:56,330
He must write to me.
620
00:35:58,390 --> 00:36:01,490
A hundred men against one.
You shall tell me the whole story
621
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:02,980
someday when we have time.
622
00:36:06,570 --> 00:36:10,170
A hundred men.
What courage!
623
00:36:14,030 --> 00:36:16,810
I have done better.
624
00:36:21,820 --> 00:36:22,450
Well?
625
00:36:24,890 --> 00:36:26,050
Let us leave this place.
626
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,620
But the whole company
is on its way here.
627
00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:28,330
Oh, no.
628
00:36:28,370 --> 00:36:30,870
On my heels. Naturally I told
them all about last night.
629
00:36:30,900 --> 00:36:31,880
They're wild.
630
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:32,830
Here they are.
631
00:36:32,860 --> 00:36:35,420
- Yes, but, why did you?
- Perhaps I can stop them.
632
00:36:36,210 --> 00:36:36,870
Never mind.
633
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,220
Cyrano!
634
00:36:39,260 --> 00:36:46,070
(greetings and cheers to Cyrano)
635
00:36:49,130 --> 00:36:51,570
Eight dead men in the street.
Scandalous.
636
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,010
You know my edict
against dueling, nephew.
637
00:36:54,050 --> 00:36:55,580
I expect to have it enforced.
638
00:36:55,610 --> 00:36:58,940
Furthermore, I wish to know
who was responsible for last night's
639
00:36:58,970 --> 00:37:00,410
outrage at the Place de Neanne.
640
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:01,840
I understand, Your Eminence.
641
00:37:02,050 --> 00:37:04,180
Very well.
And now I have news
642
00:37:04,210 --> 00:37:06,310
that should be more
to you liking.
643
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:13,410
I fear, in confidence, our
uneasy armistice with Spain is doomed.
644
00:37:13,450 --> 00:37:14,410
My colonelcy?
645
00:37:14,450 --> 00:37:16,670
You commission has been prepared.
646
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:18,890
Oh, thank you, uncle, thank you.
647
00:37:19,230 --> 00:37:20,630
Oh, one thing more.
648
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,600
Last night at the theater,
the duel in rhyme,
649
00:37:24,790 --> 00:37:26,970
that guardsman with a nose.
650
00:37:27,010 --> 00:37:30,240
- Bergerac, that impossible Gascon.
- Yes, impossible.
651
00:37:30,260 --> 00:37:32,300
- His treatment of Montfleury.
- Abominable.
652
00:37:32,330 --> 00:37:35,230
- The arrogance with which he closed the play.
- Incredible.
653
00:37:35,260 --> 00:37:38,130
- It will be a miracle if the Vicomte survives.
- A sorrow.
654
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,720
What will you do
with him, Your Eminence?
655
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,100
I? Nothing.
656
00:37:41,140 --> 00:37:43,290
I thought I might
leave that to you.
657
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,500
To me?
658
00:37:44,530 --> 00:37:48,270
Yes. Place him somewhere
in your service,
659
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:49,890
with a comfortable allowance.
660
00:37:49,930 --> 00:37:51,390
He looked a little threadbare.
661
00:37:51,430 --> 00:37:55,020
I...You...But, Your Eminence.
You detest dueling.
662
00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:55,960
Of course I do.
663
00:37:56,350 --> 00:37:58,070
Why didn't you prevent it?
664
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,350
I should much prefer
that monsieur de Beregrac
665
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,300
live by the pen,
rather than die by the sword.
666
00:38:06,590 --> 00:38:08,470
Do you not agree, Antoine?
667
00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:12,560
By all means, Your Eminence.
By all means.
668
00:38:14,830 --> 00:38:21,650
'And then, as I end the refrain...
thrust home.'
669
00:38:24,790 --> 00:38:28,740
(Carousing at Ragueneau's)
670
00:38:33,220 --> 00:38:39,860
(noisy celebration of Cyrano's
defeat of 'a hundred' ruffians)
671
00:38:44,210 --> 00:38:46,580
(Antoine Comte de Guiche enters)
672
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:48,620
Monsieur de Bergerac.
673
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,390
Your Excellency.
674
00:38:51,970 --> 00:38:54,750
I have come to express my....
675
00:38:54,790 --> 00:38:58,550
admiration for both
your exploits last night.
676
00:38:58,590 --> 00:39:01,290
Indeed. Thank you.
677
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,900
My dear fellow,
we may have had our differences,
678
00:39:04,930 --> 00:39:07,550
but I am disposed
to forget them.
679
00:39:07,570 --> 00:39:09,710
That is very generous
of you, sir.
680
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:10,560
No, truly.
681
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,970
You are, it seems, a man
of many skills.
682
00:39:14,010 --> 00:39:17,350
A rare combination
soldier and poet.
683
00:39:18,060 --> 00:39:21,750
- Would you care to join my following?
- No, sir.
684
00:39:21,790 --> 00:39:23,260
I do not follow.
685
00:39:23,770 --> 00:39:25,980
I am told you have
written a play.
686
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,510
As you know, my uncle,
the Cardinal, is also a dramatist.
687
00:39:29,540 --> 00:39:30,990
I might help you there.
688
00:39:31,150 --> 00:39:34,050
Cyrano, now at last
you can have it performed.
689
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,200
Why not?
690
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:36,620
I could take it to him.
691
00:39:37,860 --> 00:39:39,330
Really?
692
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,460
Of course.
Let him rewrite a few lines
693
00:39:41,490 --> 00:39:43,770
here and there, and
he'll find a theater for you.
694
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,230
Rewrite...my lines?
695
00:39:47,670 --> 00:39:49,150
Impossible.
696
00:39:49,190 --> 00:39:52,040
Uh, when he likes a thing,
he pays well.
697
00:39:52,070 --> 00:39:53,240
Yes, but not so well as I.
698
00:39:53,270 --> 00:39:55,460
When I have made a line
that sings itself
699
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:57,220
I pay myself a hundred times.
700
00:39:57,250 --> 00:39:58,940
You are proud, my friend.
701
00:39:58,970 --> 00:40:00,020
You have observed that?
702
00:40:00,060 --> 00:40:02,460
- Cyrano.
See what we found in the street.
703
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:05,140
Plumes dropped in their flight
by those fine birds
704
00:40:05,170 --> 00:40:06,860
who showed their
tail feathers!
705
00:40:06,890 --> 00:40:08,590
(laughter)
706
00:40:08,620 --> 00:40:10,180
The man who hired
those scoundrels,
707
00:40:10,210 --> 00:40:12,010
he must be an
angry man today.
708
00:40:12,050 --> 00:40:13,430
Who was it?
Do you know?
709
00:40:13,850 --> 00:40:14,790
It was I.
710
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,870
I hired them to do the sort
of work we do not soil our hands with.
711
00:40:20,660 --> 00:40:22,940
Punishing an insolent poet.
712
00:40:22,970 --> 00:40:25,610
They ought to be mounted
before they spoil.
713
00:40:25,650 --> 00:40:27,850
(laughter)
What shall we do with them?
714
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:36,460
Sir, will you not return these
to your friends?
715
00:40:40,310 --> 00:40:42,190
Have you read Don Quixote?
716
00:40:42,230 --> 00:40:44,650
I have and found
myself the hero.
717
00:40:44,690 --> 00:40:47,770
Be so good as to read once more
the capture of the windmills.
718
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,010
Chapter 13.
719
00:40:50,150 --> 00:40:52,200
Windmills, remember,
if you fight with them...
720
00:40:52,230 --> 00:40:56,590
may swing round their huge arms
and cast you down into the mire.
721
00:40:56,630 --> 00:40:59,010
Or up among the stars.
722
00:41:01,250 --> 00:41:01,970
Gentlemen.
723
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:03,320
Gentlemen.
724
00:41:03,570 --> 00:41:04,550
Gentlemen.
725
00:41:05,220 --> 00:41:06,610
You've done it, now.
726
00:41:06,650 --> 00:41:07,860
You've made your fortune.
727
00:41:07,890 --> 00:41:09,070
He was willing to forget.
728
00:41:09,490 --> 00:41:11,180
There you go again, growling.
729
00:41:11,210 --> 00:41:13,460
Yesss,
this latest pose of yours,
730
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:16,070
ruining every opportunity
that comes you way,
731
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:17,100
becomes exaggerated.
732
00:41:17,140 --> 00:41:18,250
Very well, then, I exaggerate.
733
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:19,710
There are certain things
in this world
734
00:41:19,740 --> 00:41:21,100
a man does well
to carry to extremes.
735
00:41:21,140 --> 00:41:23,710
Your precious independence.
Your white plume.
736
00:41:23,740 --> 00:41:25,410
How do you expect
to succeed in life?
737
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,400
What would you have me do?
738
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,590
Seek for the patronage
of some great man
739
00:41:28,630 --> 00:41:31,880
and like a creeping vine
on a tall tree crawl upward
740
00:41:31,910 --> 00:41:33,520
where I cannot stand alone?
741
00:41:33,940 --> 00:41:34,850
No, thank you.
742
00:41:35,210 --> 00:41:39,880
Be a buffoon in the vile hope
of teasing out a smile on some cold face.
743
00:41:40,340 --> 00:41:41,710
No, thank you.
744
00:41:42,050 --> 00:41:44,260
Eat a toad for breakfast
every morning.
745
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:47,530
Make my knees calloused.
Cultivate a supple spine.
746
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,320
Wear out my belly
groveling in the dust.
747
00:41:49,590 --> 00:41:50,400
No, thank you.
748
00:41:50,860 --> 00:41:54,880
With my left hand scratch the back
of any swine that roots up gold for me
749
00:41:54,910 --> 00:41:58,910
while my right, too proud to know
his partner's business, takes in the fee.
750
00:41:58,940 --> 00:41:59,920
No, thank you.
751
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,810
Shall I use the fire God gave me
to burn incense all day long?
752
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,020
No, thank you.
753
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,410
Struggle to insinuate my name
into the columns of the Gazette?
754
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:13,250
Calculate, scheme, be afraid?
Love more to make a visit than a poem?
755
00:42:13,290 --> 00:42:15,990
Seek introductions, favors,
influences?
756
00:42:16,020 --> 00:42:17,050
No, thank you.
757
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,270
No, I thank you, and
again I thank you.
758
00:42:23,930 --> 00:42:30,320
But, to sing, to laugh, to dream,
to walk in my own way,
759
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,510
free with and eye
to see things as they are.
760
00:42:33,380 --> 00:42:35,240
A voice that means manhood.
761
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,640
To cut my have
the right shoes.
762
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:46,150
And a word, a yes, a no,
to fight, or write,
763
00:42:46,830 --> 00:42:48,440
but never to make
a line I have not heard
764
00:42:48,470 --> 00:42:49,780
in my own heart.
765
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,380
To travel any
road under the sun,
766
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,780
under the stars,
767
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,520
nor care if fame or fortune
lie beyond the bourne.
768
00:43:00,370 --> 00:43:02,250
Yet, with all modesty to say,
769
00:43:03,250 --> 00:43:05,830
my soul be satisfied
with flowers,
770
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:08,000
with weeds,
771
00:43:09,210 --> 00:43:10,840
with thorns, even,
772
00:43:11,910 --> 00:43:14,940
but gather them in the one garden
you may call your own.
773
00:43:16,230 --> 00:43:18,450
In a word, I'm too proud
to be a parasite.
774
00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:21,470
And if mine intellect the germ
that grows towering to heaven
775
00:43:21,500 --> 00:43:22,770
like the mountain pine
776
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,570
I stand not high, it may be,
777
00:43:27,260 --> 00:43:28,460
but alone.
778
00:43:28,500 --> 00:43:31,170
Alone, yes, but why
go about making enemies?
779
00:43:32,100 --> 00:43:35,850
Watching other people
making friends...everywhere,
780
00:43:35,890 --> 00:43:37,980
as a dog makes friends.
781
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,550
I mark the manner of
these canine courtesies,
782
00:43:41,580 --> 00:43:46,770
and think, here comes,
thank heaven, another enemy.
783
00:43:46,810 --> 00:43:52,760
Yes, tell this to all the world,
and then to me say very softly
784
00:43:52,790 --> 00:43:55,540
that she loves you not.
785
00:43:58,830 --> 00:44:00,940
Let me be alone
for a moment.
786
00:44:03,990 --> 00:44:05,050
Cyrano, wait.
787
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,760
Give us your story
of the fight.
788
00:44:07,530 --> 00:44:08,400
Presently.
789
00:44:08,430 --> 00:44:10,010
No, the story, now!
790
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,970
Oh, let him alone.
There's time enough.
791
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,360
I want it now!
792
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,090
As an example for that young
tadpole sneaking out the doorway.
793
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,040
You, there.
794
00:44:25,310 --> 00:44:26,820
Are you addressing me?
795
00:44:28,190 --> 00:44:32,770
Yes, you flat-footed
Norman farmer.
796
00:44:36,190 --> 00:44:37,470
You wish something of me?
797
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:39,950
Listen, Monsieur de...de...de
whatever your name is.
798
00:44:39,980 --> 00:44:40,920
de Neuvillette!
799
00:44:41,090 --> 00:44:43,230
Baron Christan de Neuvillette.
800
00:44:43,270 --> 00:44:45,370
Very well, de Neuvillette.
801
00:44:45,670 --> 00:44:48,080
As you are a newcomer here,
you should know there is a
802
00:44:48,110 --> 00:44:52,300
certain subject or object, if you prefer,
that is never mentioned among us.
803
00:44:52,340 --> 00:44:53,340
And that is....?
804
00:44:53,370 --> 00:44:54,500
Look at me!
805
00:44:54,540 --> 00:44:55,980
(touching his nose)
806
00:44:56,020 --> 00:44:57,360
You understand?
807
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:58,670
You mean....?
808
00:44:58,700 --> 00:45:01,090
Thus we never speak that word.
809
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,390
To even breathe it is
to have to do with him.
810
00:45:04,420 --> 00:45:08,760
He has exterminated several
whose mere tone of voice suggested...
811
00:45:08,790 --> 00:45:12,920
Would you die before your time?
Just mention anything convex.
812
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,530
Or cartilaginous.
813
00:45:14,570 --> 00:45:18,540
One word. One syllable.
One gesture. Nay, one sneeze.
814
00:45:18,570 --> 00:45:21,330
And your handkerchief
becomes your winding sheet.
815
00:45:24,110 --> 00:45:24,920
Captain.
816
00:45:25,430 --> 00:45:26,290
Sir?
817
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:30,090
What is the proper thing to do
when Gascons grow too boastful?
818
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,820
Prove to them that one may
be a Norman and still have courage.
819
00:45:33,850 --> 00:45:35,100
I thank you.
820
00:45:41,330 --> 00:45:43,360
Come on, Cyrano, your story.
821
00:45:44,420 --> 00:45:47,330
(shouts of encouragement)
822
00:45:47,740 --> 00:45:49,540
Now, let me see.
Where shall we begin?
823
00:45:50,450 --> 00:45:52,510
I followed with our host
to meet those scoundrels
824
00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:53,640
not knowing where
they might attack.
825
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,340
No lamps in those narrow
back streets.
826
00:45:57,500 --> 00:45:58,600
No moon in the sky.
827
00:45:59,340 --> 00:46:01,220
Dark. Everything dark.
828
00:46:01,430 --> 00:46:04,040
It was so dark, Mon Dieux,
you could not see beyond...
829
00:46:04,070 --> 00:46:05,470
Your nose!
830
00:46:05,850 --> 00:46:08,480
(Christian shows his courage.)
831
00:46:25,250 --> 00:46:33,250
Who...is that...man...there?
832
00:46:34,260 --> 00:46:35,380
- A new recruit.
833
00:46:36,070 --> 00:46:37,550
- Arrived last week.
834
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,080
A recruit, eh?
835
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:41,940
Ha, ha---.
836
00:46:41,970 --> 00:46:45,320
His name is Christian de Neuvillette.
837
00:46:45,350 --> 00:46:48,660
(Cyrano remembers his
promise to Roxane.)
838
00:46:58,510 --> 00:46:59,570
I see.
839
00:47:02,670 --> 00:47:03,510
Very well.
840
00:47:04,850 --> 00:47:06,470
As I was saying.
841
00:47:10,830 --> 00:47:11,930
It grew dark.
842
00:47:12,460 --> 00:47:15,180
You could not see
your hand before your eyes.
843
00:47:16,310 --> 00:47:19,470
I marched on thinking our all for
the sake of one amateur poet
844
00:47:19,510 --> 00:47:22,660
- who wrote a verse whenever he took a..
- A nose full.
845
00:47:24,370 --> 00:47:25,770
...whenever he took a notion.,
846
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,600
and might antagonize
some dangerous man.
847
00:47:28,630 --> 00:47:30,830
One powerful enough
to make me pay...
848
00:47:30,860 --> 00:47:31,980
Through the nose!
849
00:47:32,010 --> 00:47:33,090
...pay the piper!
850
00:47:33,410 --> 00:47:35,430
After all, I thought,
why am I putting in my..
851
00:47:35,470 --> 00:47:36,310
- Nose!
852
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:39,170
...putting in my oar in a quarrel
that was none of mine,
853
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,240
however now that I am here,
I may as well go through with it.
854
00:47:41,270 --> 00:47:42,840
Come Gascon, do your duty.
855
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,850
Suddenly a sword
flashed in the dark!
856
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:45,810
I caught it fair...
857
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:46,810
On the nose!
858
00:47:47,940 --> 00:47:49,130
...on my blade!
859
00:47:49,170 --> 00:47:50,530
Before I knew it,
there I was...
860
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:51,690
Rubbing noses!
861
00:47:51,730 --> 00:47:53,840
...crossing swords with
harvard's joy once.
862
00:47:53,870 --> 00:47:54,940
I had the bottom then...
863
00:47:54,980 --> 00:47:55,900
A nosegay!
864
00:47:55,940 --> 00:47:57,160
...a monstrous crab tree.
865
00:47:57,610 --> 00:48:00,170
(breathing heavily)
He went down for as a wave.
866
00:48:00,380 --> 00:48:00,990
I charged...
867
00:48:01,030 --> 00:48:02,590
Who was in the air hard.
868
00:48:02,620 --> 00:48:03,450
...at the two of them.
869
00:48:04,750 --> 00:48:05,900
Another lunged,
and I parried...
870
00:48:05,940 --> 00:48:07,220
Through your nose!
871
00:48:07,250 --> 00:48:09,310
Right out of here!
All of you go!
872
00:48:09,340 --> 00:48:10,120
Leave me with him.
873
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,660
To my arms, sir.
You have courage.
874
00:48:28,690 --> 00:48:29,880
- That pleases me.
- Why?
875
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,820
Come, do you not know
I am her brother?
876
00:48:31,850 --> 00:48:32,460
Whose?
877
00:48:32,500 --> 00:48:34,250
Hers. Roxane.
878
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:38,390
Brother?
879
00:48:39,260 --> 00:48:40,170
You?
880
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,150
Well, a distant cousin.
Much the same.
881
00:48:42,510 --> 00:48:44,450
- Then she has told you?
- Everything.
882
00:48:44,580 --> 00:48:46,680
- She loves me?
- Perhaps.
883
00:48:47,610 --> 00:48:49,950
My dear sir, more than I can say.
I am honored.
884
00:48:49,990 --> 00:48:52,040
- Rather sudden.
- Oh, please, forgive me.
885
00:48:52,260 --> 00:48:54,270
If you knew how
much I have admired you.
886
00:48:54,310 --> 00:48:57,620
- Yes, yes, and all those noses.
- Please. I apologize.
887
00:48:59,060 --> 00:49:00,680
Roxane expects a letter.
888
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:02,300
- From me?
- Yes, why not?
889
00:49:02,340 --> 00:49:03,180
Oh,, No.
890
00:49:03,530 --> 00:49:05,880
- Once I write, that ruins everything.
- Why?
891
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,020
Because, any schoolboy can write
to her more gracefully than I.
892
00:49:09,590 --> 00:49:10,730
A fool!
893
00:49:10,900 --> 00:49:14,560
- You did not attack me like a fool.
- Anyone can pick a quarrel.
894
00:49:14,740 --> 00:49:16,580
No, I'm never at loss
for words among men,
895
00:49:16,610 --> 00:49:21,260
but with any women...
paralyzed...speechless, dumb.
896
00:49:21,460 --> 00:49:23,600
I'm one of those
stammering idiots
897
00:49:23,630 --> 00:49:25,270
who can not court a woman.
898
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:26,170
Really?
899
00:49:26,810 --> 00:49:28,700
As for myself,
it seems to me that
900
00:49:28,730 --> 00:49:32,300
given the opportunity,
and if I put my mind to it,
901
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,390
I could do that..
rather well.
902
00:49:35,420 --> 00:49:37,870
Oh, is I had words to say
what I have here!
903
00:49:37,900 --> 00:49:39,450
If I were handsome
like you.
904
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,780
Together, we could make
one mighty hero of romance.
905
00:49:43,820 --> 00:49:45,330
If only I had your wit.
906
00:49:50,570 --> 00:49:51,710
Borrow it, then.
907
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:53,150
What?
908
00:49:54,670 --> 00:49:55,490
Tell me,
909
00:49:56,910 --> 00:49:59,770
would you dare repeat to her
the words I gave you day by day?
910
00:50:00,330 --> 00:50:02,420
Send to her
the letters that I write?
911
00:50:02,460 --> 00:50:04,800
I mean, that Roxane
should have no disillusionment.
912
00:50:05,180 --> 00:50:06,820
Come, shall we win her
both together?
913
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:07,800
For you?
914
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,970
- Why, Cyrano...
- Christian, why not?
915
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,850
I...I'm afraid.
916
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,030
Afraid that when you
have her all alone, you will lose her.
917
00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:16,420
Have not fear,
it is your self she loves.
918
00:50:16,450 --> 00:50:17,920
Give her yourself.
919
00:50:17,950 --> 00:50:23,670
Put into words,
my words...upon your lips.
920
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:25,180
Will you?
921
00:50:26,780 --> 00:50:28,030
Will you?
922
00:50:28,910 --> 00:50:30,740
Does it mean
so much to you?
923
00:50:30,770 --> 00:50:32,360
It means....
924
00:50:34,110 --> 00:50:37,060
It means a comedy,
a situation for a poet.
925
00:50:37,190 --> 00:50:38,350
Come, shall we collaborate?
926
00:50:38,390 --> 00:50:42,420
I'll be your cloak of darkness,
your enchanted sword,
927
00:50:42,460 --> 00:50:45,330
your ring to charm
the fairy princess.
928
00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:49,180
Think!
Is the prize not worth the danger?
929
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:52,980
My friend!
930
00:50:54,620 --> 00:50:55,740
My friend.
931
00:50:56,890 --> 00:51:00,100
Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
932
00:51:00,350 --> 00:51:03,650
Plucking the flowers,
we will keep the plant in bloom.
933
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,010
Thus do I love thee,
my darling.
934
00:51:08,890 --> 00:51:09,670
Idiot.
935
00:51:09,910 --> 00:51:12,200
There are a dozen
ways to read that line.
936
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:14,500
Can't you give it some meaning?
Any meaning!
937
00:51:14,530 --> 00:51:15,950
THUS do I love thee!
938
00:51:15,980 --> 00:51:17,280
Thus do "I" love thee.
939
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:18,550
Thus do I LOVE thee.
940
00:51:18,580 --> 00:51:20,930
Thus do I love THEE,
THEE, THEE.
941
00:51:22,580 --> 00:51:25,680
Who knows your smile
has known a perfect thing.
942
00:51:25,710 --> 00:51:28,400
You are a white rose,
wherein love lies in ambush
943
00:51:28,430 --> 00:51:30,180
for its natural prey.
944
00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:33,760
In the garden of my heart,
you are the most...
945
00:51:33,930 --> 00:51:35,680
eh, the most....
946
00:51:37,450 --> 00:51:39,750
fragrant blossom.
947
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,780
As the tender sapling
thirsts for rain,
948
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,900
as the eagle seeks the sky,
949
00:51:48,030 --> 00:51:51,050
as the wave
hurtles toward the shore,
950
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,990
my heart yearns for you.
951
00:51:54,460 --> 00:51:55,820
Good, good.
952
00:51:55,970 --> 00:51:58,740
You know, you're beginning
to have a feel for words.
953
00:51:58,770 --> 00:52:02,010
- Words. I'm sick of words.
- Those are your weapons.
954
00:52:02,050 --> 00:52:03,190
How else do you conquer?
955
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,130
Yes, but when, when?
956
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,190
They're fighting in the north, now.
You know that.
957
00:52:06,230 --> 00:52:07,690
The Regiment will be
called up any day,
958
00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:08,840
and I've never
even kissed her.
959
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,940
Patience, my boy, patience.
960
00:52:11,980 --> 00:52:13,110
I've been patient.
961
00:52:13,140 --> 00:52:16,280
Why, she sees the Compte de Guiche
as often as she does me.
962
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,120
Do you suppose
she's playing with me?
963
00:52:21,260 --> 00:52:22,500
Making a fool of me?
964
00:52:23,850 --> 00:52:24,880
Impossible.
965
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,210
How can you say?
How do you know?
966
00:52:27,210 --> 00:52:31,390
Cyrano, you have her confidence.
You could find out.
967
00:52:39,300 --> 00:52:40,690
Nonsense, I say.
968
00:52:42,260 --> 00:52:43,440
Oh, very well.
969
00:52:43,870 --> 00:52:45,190
I'll scout the terrain.
970
00:52:45,230 --> 00:52:47,200
Listen, Cyrano,
intelligently, discreetly.
971
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:48,160
Yes.
972
00:52:48,190 --> 00:52:49,340
With finesse.
973
00:52:52,010 --> 00:52:55,510
And, uh, what do you think
of Christian after all these weeks?
974
00:52:55,620 --> 00:52:58,030
He is beautiful,
but he's brilliant.
975
00:52:58,070 --> 00:52:59,760
- And I love him.
- Good!
976
00:52:59,870 --> 00:53:01,750
Uh, do you find him intellectual?
977
00:53:01,790 --> 00:53:03,600
- More so than you, even.
- Huh?
978
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,470
- Oh, I didn't mean.
- No, no, no, I am glad.
979
00:53:06,500 --> 00:53:09,290
No man ever so beautifully
said those things.
980
00:53:09,330 --> 00:53:11,900
Those pretty nothings
to everything.
981
00:53:12,310 --> 00:53:15,780
Sometimes, he,. he, he falls
into a reverie.
982
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,110
His inspiration..fails.
983
00:53:20,050 --> 00:53:23,940
But, then all at once,
he will say something absolutely...
984
00:53:23,980 --> 00:53:25,370
Ah!
985
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:26,760
Really?
986
00:53:27,470 --> 00:53:28,910
How like a man!
987
00:53:28,940 --> 00:53:32,220
You think because a man
has a handsome face he must be a fool.
988
00:53:33,330 --> 00:53:34,790
Not necessarily.
989
00:53:34,830 --> 00:53:38,410
Uh, he talks well about, uh,
matters of the heart?
990
00:53:38,450 --> 00:53:42,420
He does not talk.
He rhapsodizes. He dreams.
991
00:53:42,460 --> 00:53:46,360
Only the other night he said to me,
extemporaneously, mind you.
992
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:47,220
Oh, of course.
993
00:53:47,980 --> 00:53:50,660
'Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
994
00:53:50,700 --> 00:53:54,760
'Plucking the flowers
we will keep the plants in bloom.'
995
00:53:55,720 --> 00:53:56,730
Well?
996
00:53:56,770 --> 00:53:58,530
Umm, passable.
997
00:53:58,950 --> 00:54:00,010
He writes well?
998
00:54:00,050 --> 00:54:02,080
Wonderfully, listen:
999
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,510
'Knowing you have in store
more heart to give
1000
00:54:05,550 --> 00:54:08,160
- 'than I to find heart room...'
- The first he has too much heart,
1001
00:54:08,190 --> 00:54:10,400
then too little. Just how much heart
does he need?
1002
00:54:10,470 --> 00:54:11,740
You are teasing.
1003
00:54:11,870 --> 00:54:12,870
You are jealous!
1004
00:54:12,910 --> 00:54:13,690
Jealous?
1005
00:54:13,730 --> 00:54:14,440
Yes.
1006
00:54:14,470 --> 00:54:15,840
Poets are all alike.
1007
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:19,660
Would you dare
criticize these lines?
1008
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:25,100
'Only believe that unto you
my whole heart gives one cry.
1009
00:54:25,540 --> 00:54:29,470
'And writing, writes down
more than you receive.
1010
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,010
'Sending you kisses
through my fingertips.
1011
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,020
'Lady, oh, read my letter
with your lips.'
1012
00:54:39,340 --> 00:54:43,820
Yes, those last lines,
but he overwrites.
1013
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:44,970
Listen to this.
1014
00:54:45,010 --> 00:54:46,000
Do you know
them all by heart?
1015
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,070
Every one.
1016
00:54:47,110 --> 00:54:48,500
Well, I may call
that flattering.
1017
00:54:48,530 --> 00:54:49,310
He is a master.
1018
00:54:49,350 --> 00:54:51,850
- Oh, come..
- Yes, a master.
1019
00:54:51,860 --> 00:54:55,270
Huh, a master,...
if you will.
1020
00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:00,520
And, uh, when do you
bestow the laurel wreath?
1021
00:55:00,540 --> 00:55:05,290
How many prodigies of poetry
must this new Hercules perform?
1022
00:55:05,390 --> 00:55:06,490
I do not know.
1023
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:11,580
My friend, you men own the world
and all that's in it.
1024
00:55:12,020 --> 00:55:17,990
Woman is at best a prize, a property
valued much the same as a horse or a dog,
1025
00:55:18,150 --> 00:55:22,010
unlike the pear and sheen of skin
and soundness of teeth and limb.
1026
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:27,870
Well, if I must be chattel,
then the terms shall be mine,
1027
00:55:27,910 --> 00:55:31,480
and the price according
to my own values.
1028
00:55:31,510 --> 00:55:32,670
There.
1029
00:55:34,070 --> 00:55:35,460
I see.
1030
00:55:37,060 --> 00:55:39,880
Christian tells me
that you meet tonight.
1031
00:55:42,510 --> 00:55:45,210
What would you have him
speak about?
1032
00:55:46,230 --> 00:55:47,910
Oh, nothing,
1033
00:55:48,260 --> 00:55:49,530
and everything.
1034
00:55:49,980 --> 00:55:54,140
I shall say, speak to me
of love in your own words.
1035
00:55:54,550 --> 00:55:56,810
Improvise, rhapsodize.
1036
00:55:57,540 --> 00:55:58,790
Be eloquent.
1037
00:55:59,910 --> 00:56:01,540
But you will not tell him,
will you?
1038
00:56:01,570 --> 00:56:03,270
Ah, perish the thought.
1039
00:56:03,590 --> 00:56:06,370
Madame, Compte de Guiche.
1040
00:56:10,720 --> 00:56:12,820
(Sigh)
Madame.
1041
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:16,880
Monsieur.
1042
00:56:17,770 --> 00:56:18,770
Madame.
1043
00:56:21,570 --> 00:56:24,270
Monsieur.
(Crunch)
1044
00:56:33,430 --> 00:56:35,090
- Christian, quick.
- No.
1045
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,030
There's still time to learn your lines.
No.
1046
00:56:37,070 --> 00:56:39,760
I have some brilliant phrases for you,
brilliant, sensitive...
1047
00:56:39,790 --> 00:56:40,500
No.
1048
00:56:41,150 --> 00:56:42,160
I'll have not more of it.
1049
00:56:42,190 --> 00:56:44,250
Taking all my words, my sentences
all from you,
1050
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,490
- making our love a little comedy.
- Don't you real...
1051
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,480
It was a game at first,
but now she cares.
1052
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:49,390
Huh?
1053
00:56:49,430 --> 00:56:50,750
Thanks to you.
Uh.
1054
00:56:50,790 --> 00:56:53,060
I'm not afraid any longer.
I'll speak for myself, now.
1055
00:56:53,090 --> 00:56:53,720
Oh, undoubtedly.
1056
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,990
I will. You shall see!
1057
00:56:56,500 --> 00:56:59,110
Besides, I know enough
to take a woman in my arms,
1058
00:56:59,150 --> 00:57:00,870
and tonight, I will.
1059
00:57:04,070 --> 00:57:05,420
(knocking on door)
- Christian!
1060
00:57:05,450 --> 00:57:07,210
Thank you, my friend,
and goodbye.
1061
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:09,040
- Christian, I beg of you.
- Leave me!
1062
00:57:09,070 --> 00:57:10,830
- You're making a grave error.
- Go away!
1063
00:57:13,540 --> 00:57:14,540
So be it.
1064
00:57:16,950 --> 00:57:18,600
(door opens)
1065
00:57:20,300 --> 00:57:21,440
Christian.
1066
00:57:21,470 --> 00:57:22,580
Roxane.
1067
00:57:23,190 --> 00:57:25,330
I'm so glad you are early.
1068
00:57:26,430 --> 00:57:28,400
Let us stay out here
in the moonlight.
1069
00:57:29,150 --> 00:57:30,490
It's so pleasant.
1070
00:57:32,780 --> 00:57:33,630
Sit down.
1071
00:57:36,450 --> 00:57:37,720
There, so.
1072
00:57:40,770 --> 00:57:43,780
Now, speak to me.
1073
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:45,470
I love you.
1074
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,330
Yes, speak to me of love.
1075
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,390
I...love you.
1076
00:57:53,430 --> 00:57:55,640
Now, be eloquent.
Be brilliant for me.
1077
00:57:56,300 --> 00:57:57,940
Tonight of all nights.
1078
00:57:58,250 --> 00:58:01,560
I love you....so.
1079
00:58:03,610 --> 00:58:07,630
You have your scene.
Now, improvise, rhapsodize.
1080
00:58:07,660 --> 00:58:11,570
I love you...
very much!
1081
00:58:14,500 --> 00:58:17,600
I ask for cream,
and you give me milk and water.
1082
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:22,490
Tell me firstly,
how you love me.
1083
00:58:22,530 --> 00:58:23,780
Very much!
1084
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:26,440
Is that all you feel?
1085
00:58:26,470 --> 00:58:29,360
Your throat, if only
I might kiss it.
1086
00:58:29,390 --> 00:58:30,170
Christian!
1087
00:58:30,210 --> 00:58:31,520
But, Roxane, I love you.
1088
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:32,860
Again.
1089
00:58:32,890 --> 00:58:34,450
No, not again.
I do not love you.
1090
00:58:37,490 --> 00:58:38,540
That is better.
1091
00:58:39,380 --> 00:58:42,870
I...I adore you!
1092
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:43,870
Oh!
1093
00:58:44,570 --> 00:58:46,070
I know I grow absurd.
1094
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:48,870
And that distresses me as much
as if you had grown ugly!
1095
00:58:51,020 --> 00:58:54,910
Please. Gather your dreams
together into words.
1096
00:58:54,950 --> 00:58:57,830
I...um, I...
1097
00:58:57,870 --> 00:59:00,280
I know. You love me!
Good night!
1098
00:59:00,310 --> 00:59:01,440
Oh, but wait, please!
1099
00:59:01,470 --> 00:59:02,530
I was going to say...
1100
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:04,510
That you adore me.
Yes, I know that, too.
1101
00:59:04,540 --> 00:59:06,720
-No, go away.
- I....
1102
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,290
(door slams shut)
1103
00:59:25,170 --> 00:59:28,330
(Cyrano claps his hands)
1104
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:29,870
A great success.
1105
00:59:30,940 --> 00:59:31,720
Help me.
1106
00:59:31,750 --> 00:59:33,620
Not I.
Speak for yourself, my friend.
1107
00:59:33,660 --> 00:59:35,220
Why I...I can't.
1108
00:59:35,250 --> 00:59:38,040
Well, at least you know enough
to take a woman in your arms.
1109
00:59:38,070 --> 00:59:39,680
Oh, Cyrano, please!
1110
00:59:39,790 --> 00:59:41,610
What, and make your love
a little comedy.
1111
00:59:41,650 --> 00:59:44,060
Cyrano, I cannot live
unless I win her back, now.
1112
00:59:44,100 --> 00:59:44,610
This moment!
1113
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,890
This moment. How the devil
am I to teach you now, this mo...
1114
00:59:47,980 --> 00:59:48,940
(Christian)
Her window.
1115
00:59:49,510 --> 00:59:51,690
- Help me, Cyrano, help me.
- Shhhh.
1116
00:59:53,290 --> 00:59:54,800
(Cyrano)
It does seem fairly dark.
1117
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:55,780
(Christian)
Well? Well?
1118
00:59:57,490 --> 00:59:59,190
(Cyrano)
It is more than
you deserve.
1119
01:00:00,550 --> 01:00:02,010
(Cyrano)
I must try out what
can be done.
1120
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:03,040
(Cyrano)
Stand over there.
1121
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,500
(Cyrano)
Idiot, here, before the balcony.
I'll whisper you what to say.
1122
01:00:09,540 --> 01:00:11,380
- She'll hear..
- Shhhh. Call her.
1123
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:13,690
(Christian)
Roxane.
1124
01:00:14,950 --> 01:00:17,330
(Christian louder)
Roxane.
1125
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,220
(balcony window opens)
1126
01:00:21,690 --> 01:00:22,760
Who's calling?
1127
01:00:23,430 --> 01:00:24,240
Christian.
1128
01:00:24,570 --> 01:00:25,670
You again.
1129
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:27,420
I...had to tell you.
1130
01:00:27,710 --> 01:00:29,340
No. Go away.
You tell me nothing.
1131
01:00:29,370 --> 01:00:30,390
Please.
1132
01:00:30,430 --> 01:00:32,240
You do not
love me anymore.
1133
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:34,810
(Christian copies Cyrano)
No, not anymore.
1134
01:00:35,530 --> 01:00:37,340
I love you evermore,
1135
01:00:38,150 --> 01:00:40,050
and evermore and more.
1136
01:00:41,190 --> 01:00:42,640
Oh, a little better.
1137
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,160
Love grows and struggles
like an angry child.
1138
01:00:48,710 --> 01:00:50,620
Breaking my heart.
1139
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,070
His cradle...
1140
01:00:53,110 --> 01:00:54,630
Better still.
1141
01:00:55,230 --> 01:00:57,390
But such a babe is dangerous.
1142
01:00:57,910 --> 01:01:00,140
Why not have
smothered it newborn?
1143
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:03,290
And so I do.
1144
01:01:03,650 --> 01:01:05,290
And yet he lives.
1145
01:01:06,340 --> 01:01:08,910
I found as you sha...
you shall find
1146
01:01:10,250 --> 01:01:14,400
this newborn babe...
and infant Hercules!
1147
01:01:14,900 --> 01:01:15,430
Good.
1148
01:01:15,460 --> 01:01:16,820
Strong enough at birth
1149
01:01:17,740 --> 01:01:19,600
to strangle
those two serpents
1150
01:01:20,010 --> 01:01:20,550
doubt and
1151
01:01:20,590 --> 01:01:21,090
<i>What?</i>
1152
01:01:21,250 --> 01:01:22,600
pride!
1153
01:01:23,410 --> 01:01:24,440
Why, very good.
1154
01:01:25,330 --> 01:01:27,880
Only, tell me why
you speak so haltingly.
1155
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,580
Has your imagination
gone....lame?
1156
01:01:33,260 --> 01:01:35,130
(Cyrano)
This grows too difficult.
1157
01:01:35,530 --> 01:01:38,320
Your words tonight
hesitate, why?
1158
01:01:38,630 --> 01:01:42,970
Through the warm summer gloom,
they grope in darkness
1159
01:01:43,170 --> 01:01:44,690
toward the light of you.
1160
01:01:46,010 --> 01:01:47,860
My words are
heavy with honey,
1161
01:01:47,900 --> 01:01:49,360
like returning bees.
1162
01:01:50,190 --> 01:01:52,310
Yet they must fly so high.
1163
01:01:52,530 --> 01:01:54,140
Come nearer then.
Stand you on the bench.
1164
01:01:54,170 --> 01:01:55,000
No.
1165
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:56,190
Then I'll come down.
1166
01:01:56,230 --> 01:01:57,110
NO!
1167
01:01:57,570 --> 01:01:59,380
And why so great a no?
1168
01:02:00,490 --> 01:02:02,920
Let me enjoy the one
moment I ever...
1169
01:02:03,710 --> 01:02:07,110
My one chance
to speak to you...unseen.
1170
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:08,290
Unseen?
1171
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:09,740
Yes. Yes.
1172
01:02:10,070 --> 01:02:12,380
Night making all things
dimly beautiful
1173
01:02:12,410 --> 01:02:13,770
one veil over us both.
1174
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,040
You need no eyes
to hear my heart.
1175
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:20,410
Oh, tonight, let it seem as if
I speak for the first time.
1176
01:02:21,150 --> 01:02:22,110
For the first time?
1177
01:02:22,140 --> 01:02:23,000
Yes.
1178
01:02:23,940 --> 01:02:25,780
Your voice, even,
is not the same.
1179
01:02:25,810 --> 01:02:26,990
How should it be.
1180
01:02:27,030 --> 01:02:28,450
I have another
voice tonight.
1181
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:31,250
My own, myself,... daring!
1182
01:02:31,610 --> 01:02:32,610
Why daring?
1183
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,600
Because, what am I, what is any man
would he dare ask for you?
1184
01:02:36,630 --> 01:02:40,780
Therefore my heart has hidden behind
poetic words and tinsel phrases.
1185
01:02:41,260 --> 01:02:43,640
But are they not sweet,
those pretty phrases?
1186
01:02:43,670 --> 01:02:45,630
Not enough sweet
for you and me tonight.
1187
01:02:47,530 --> 01:02:49,240
You never spoke
to me like this.
1188
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,510
I tell you, there comes
one moment, once,
1189
01:02:51,540 --> 01:02:53,800
and heaven help those
who pass that moment by,
1190
01:02:53,830 --> 01:02:56,110
when beauty stands
looking into the soul
1191
01:02:56,150 --> 01:03:01,810
with grave, sweet eyes,
that sicken at pretty words.
1192
01:03:02,650 --> 01:03:06,260
Yes...that is love.
1193
01:03:06,290 --> 01:03:07,010
Love.
1194
01:03:07,050 --> 01:03:09,260
A love beyond breath,
beyond reason,
1195
01:03:09,290 --> 01:03:11,590
beyond love's own
power of loving.
1196
01:03:11,630 --> 01:03:14,200
Your name is like a golden bell
hung in my heart,
1197
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:18,450
and when I think of you I tremble,
and the bell swings and rings,
1198
01:03:18,610 --> 01:03:28,580
Roxane! Roxane!
Along my veins...Roxane.
1199
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,970
Yes...that is love.
1200
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,770
(Cyrano)
Yes...that is love.
1201
01:03:36,090 --> 01:03:38,920
That wind of terrible
and jealous beauty,
1202
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:44,200
that dark fire,
that soaring, blinding music.
1203
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,690
Yet, you may take my happiness
to make you happier
1204
01:03:47,730 --> 01:03:49,410
even though you
never know I gave it to you.
1205
01:03:49,940 --> 01:03:55,700
Only let me hear, sometimes, all alone,
the distant laughter of your joy.
1206
01:03:56,740 --> 01:03:58,470
Do you begin
to understand a little?
1207
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,200
Can you feel my soul there
in the darkness breathe on you?
1208
01:04:03,230 --> 01:04:06,630
Oh, only tonight,
now I dare say these things.
1209
01:04:06,790 --> 01:04:09,400
I to you, and you hear them.
1210
01:04:10,030 --> 01:04:12,650
It is my voice, mine, my own
that makes you tremble
1211
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,390
there in the green gloom,
above me, for you do tremble
1212
01:04:15,430 --> 01:04:18,110
as a blossom among the leaves,
you tremble, and I can feel
1213
01:04:18,140 --> 01:04:19,670
all the way down along
this jasmine branch
1214
01:04:19,710 --> 01:04:23,700
whether you will unhold
the passion of you trembling.
1215
01:04:24,340 --> 01:04:25,960
Yes, I do tremble.
1216
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,880
And I weep, and I love you,
and I am yours,
1217
01:04:29,910 --> 01:04:31,720
and you have made me thus.
1218
01:04:36,710 --> 01:04:38,250
I have done this to you.
1219
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,380
I myself.
1220
01:04:44,970 --> 01:04:47,240
Only let me ask
one thing more.
1221
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:48,900
I want a kiss!
1222
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:52,080
You ask me for...
1223
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:53,060
I...yes.
1224
01:04:53,100 --> 01:04:54,260
That is to say...
1225
01:04:54,780 --> 01:04:55,770
I mean...
1226
01:04:56,140 --> 01:04:57,450
You've gone too far.
1227
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,370
If she's willing, why
not make the most of it?
1228
01:04:59,410 --> 01:05:04,270
I, I ask.
I know I ask too much.
1229
01:05:05,150 --> 01:05:06,420
Only one?
1230
01:05:07,550 --> 01:05:08,630
Is that all?
1231
01:05:09,150 --> 01:05:12,210
All?
How much more than all?
1232
01:05:12,250 --> 01:05:16,030
I know I startle you,
I...I ask, I ask you to refuse.
1233
01:05:16,070 --> 01:05:17,200
Why? Why? Why?
1234
01:05:17,230 --> 01:05:18,350
Christian, be quiet.
1235
01:05:18,390 --> 01:05:19,430
What is that your say?
1236
01:05:19,470 --> 01:05:21,810
I am angry with myself,
because I know I go too far
1237
01:05:21,850 --> 01:05:26,270
and so I say to myself,
CHRISTIAN, BE QUIET!
1238
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:28,300
Watch it, someone comes.
1239
01:05:36,390 --> 01:05:39,180
Well, sir, I am looking
for the house of madame Roxane Robin.
1240
01:05:39,220 --> 01:05:43,450
This is not the house. That way.
To the right. Keep to the right.
1241
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:44,330
I thank you sir.
1242
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,880
I shall say my beads for you
to the very last bead.
1243
01:05:49,340 --> 01:05:50,680
Win me that kiss?
1244
01:05:51,370 --> 01:05:52,070
No!
1245
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:53,780
Sooner or later.
1246
01:05:59,170 --> 01:06:00,510
So that is true.
1247
01:06:01,460 --> 01:06:07,540
Sooner or later must be so, because,
she is young, and you are handsome.
1248
01:06:09,170 --> 01:06:15,240
Since it must be, I'd rather be
myself the cause, if it must be.
1249
01:06:16,990 --> 01:06:19,620
(balcony window opens)
1250
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:24,660
Are you still there?
1251
01:06:24,690 --> 01:06:25,470
(Cyrano)
Yes.
1252
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:28,740
We were speaking of...
1253
01:06:30,090 --> 01:06:32,450
A kiss.
- A kiss.
1254
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,340
And what is a kiss
when all is done?
1255
01:06:34,930 --> 01:06:37,080
A vow taken before
the shrine of memory.
1256
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,650
A rosy dot
over the "i" of loving.
1257
01:06:39,790 --> 01:06:42,950
- A secret whisper
to listen if the past.
1258
01:06:42,980 --> 01:06:43,650
Shhh.
1259
01:06:43,690 --> 01:06:46,720
A moment free to mortal
with a rush of wing from Ceden.
1260
01:06:46,750 --> 01:06:48,220
A sacrament of blossoms.
1261
01:06:48,260 --> 01:06:53,250
A new song sung by two hearts
to an old, simple tune.
1262
01:06:53,290 --> 01:06:54,430
Hush.
1263
01:06:54,460 --> 01:06:56,050
Why? What shame?
1264
01:06:58,010 --> 01:07:01,310
No.
No shame.
1265
01:07:01,610 --> 01:07:02,770
Then come.
1266
01:07:03,550 --> 01:07:05,680
Gather your sacred blossoms.
1267
01:07:07,250 --> 01:07:09,230
Your moment made immortal.
1268
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:09,860
Climb!
1269
01:07:10,660 --> 01:07:12,300
- But, climb?
- Many more!
1270
01:07:22,410 --> 01:07:23,760
Roxane.
1271
01:07:33,870 --> 01:07:34,690
(sigh)
1272
01:07:36,090 --> 01:07:39,770
Ah, Roxane.
I have won what I have wanted.
1273
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:45,410
A feast of love,
and I am faint with hunger.
1274
01:07:48,110 --> 01:07:51,040
Yet, I have something here
that is mine now,...
1275
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,380
and was not mine before.
1276
01:07:54,220 --> 01:07:56,790
I spoke the words
that won her.
1277
01:07:57,890 --> 01:08:05,890
She kisses my words.
My words...upon his lips.
1278
01:08:07,230 --> 01:08:08,650
(gate opens)
1279
01:08:13,250 --> 01:08:14,670
What, dear Father,
lost your way again?
1280
01:08:14,710 --> 01:08:16,270
But, she lives here,
Madame Robin.
1281
01:08:16,300 --> 01:08:17,830
Oh, I thought
you said, Rolen?
1282
01:08:17,860 --> 01:08:19,850
No, r..o..b..i..n, Robin.
1283
01:08:19,890 --> 01:08:21,030
Oh, Robin, I see.
1284
01:08:21,070 --> 01:08:23,090
I'm too old
to chase wild geese
1285
01:08:23,130 --> 01:08:25,080
- my feet...
- Oh, what a shame,
1286
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,920
(knocking on door)
however, I'm sure there's someone at home.
1287
01:08:29,330 --> 01:08:30,120
(door opens)
1288
01:08:30,150 --> 01:08:30,860
What is it?
1289
01:08:30,890 --> 01:08:34,570
Yeah, I'm looking for
the young lady, Madam Rolen
1290
01:08:34,610 --> 01:08:35,840
Rolen?
1291
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:37,080
Robin!
1292
01:08:37,950 --> 01:08:40,050
Madame!
A letter for you.
1293
01:08:40,590 --> 01:08:42,070
Yes, yes, I heard.
1294
01:08:42,970 --> 01:08:43,650
Cyrano.
1295
01:08:43,690 --> 01:08:46,080
Uh, passing by cousin,
I saw this light.
1296
01:08:46,700 --> 01:08:50,330
Uh, some matter
profitable to the soul.
1297
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:52,550
A very noble lord gave it to me.
1298
01:08:52,750 --> 01:08:53,640
(Christian)
What is it?
1299
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,100
<i>My regiment has been
ordered to the front. </i>
1300
01:08:57,130 --> 01:08:59,490
<i>I cannot allow you
to delay any longer.</i>
1301
01:08:59,530 --> 01:09:01,820
<i>This simple old monk,
who knows nothing,</i>
1302
01:09:01,850 --> 01:09:04,190
<i>will marry us tonight.
My love, Antoine de Guiche.</i>
1303
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,110
(Roxane changes everything)
1304
01:09:07,150 --> 01:09:08,880
Father, this letter
concerns you.
1305
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,930
"Madame, the Cardinal
will have his way,
1306
01:09:13,970 --> 01:09:15,530
"although against your will.
1307
01:09:15,710 --> 01:09:18,150
"That is why I am
sending this to you,
1308
01:09:18,180 --> 01:09:20,470
"by a most holy man.
1309
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,160
"Intelligent, discreet.
1310
01:09:23,580 --> 01:09:26,660
"You will communicate
to him our order to perform
1311
01:09:26,900 --> 01:09:31,160
"here and at once
the rite of holy matrimony.
1312
01:09:32,570 --> 01:09:35,910
"You and Christian will be
married privately in your house.
1313
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,760
"Be resigned to the
Cardinal's command,
1314
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:41,930
"who sends herewith
his blessings.
1315
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,060
"Your very humble,
and etcetera..."
1316
01:09:44,940 --> 01:09:46,750
Oh, this is terrible.
1317
01:09:48,220 --> 01:09:49,850
Oh, you're to be
the, uh...
1318
01:09:49,890 --> 01:09:51,490
I am to be the bridegroom.
1319
01:09:53,950 --> 01:09:56,230
Uh, look here.
A postscript.
1320
01:09:56,780 --> 01:10:02,320
"Give to the monastery,
in my name 120 pieces of gold."
1321
01:10:02,350 --> 01:10:04,070
One hundred and twenty...
1322
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,530
Oh, a worthy lord.
A very worthy lord.
1323
01:10:09,470 --> 01:10:12,030
Daughter, resign yourself.
1324
01:10:12,070 --> 01:10:14,080
I am resigned.
1325
01:10:22,350 --> 01:10:24,500
The Guiche is coming, too.
Don't let him enter.
1326
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:25,730
Not let him enter?
1327
01:10:25,770 --> 01:10:27,790
Until we're married, please.
1328
01:10:28,610 --> 01:10:30,340
(door slams shut)
1329
01:10:44,330 --> 01:10:45,250
(Count)
What is that?
1330
01:10:45,340 --> 01:10:46,330
(Cyrano)
Me?
1331
01:10:46,370 --> 01:10:48,360
- Why, where did you come from?
- The moon.
1332
01:10:48,390 --> 01:10:49,330
- You...
- From the moon.
1333
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:50,690
I have just returned
from the moon.
1334
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:52,420
- The fellow's mad!
-Like a bomb, I tell you,
1335
01:10:52,460 --> 01:10:54,130
- I fell from the moon!
- Your feet must...
1336
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:55,450
- I say THE MOON!
1337
01:10:55,480 --> 01:10:57,580
- Very well, if you say so.
- Thank you.
1338
01:10:57,610 --> 01:10:58,610
- Raving mad.
1339
01:11:00,660 --> 01:11:02,850
- Where am I?
- My dear sir!
1340
01:11:02,890 --> 01:11:04,080
- What place is this?
What country?
1341
01:11:04,110 --> 01:11:06,170
- Please, let me pass.
- This face, good heavens!
1342
01:11:06,210 --> 01:11:08,710
Maul, a robber.
Where am I?
1343
01:11:08,750 --> 01:11:12,830
- A lady is waiting for me.
- Oh, this is Paris, huh?
1344
01:11:12,870 --> 01:11:13,620
You fool!
1345
01:11:13,650 --> 01:11:14,800
Dear old Paris.
1346
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,750
Excuse my appearance.
I arrived by the last thunderbolt.
1347
01:11:17,790 --> 01:11:19,970
A trifled singed
as I passed through the ether.
1348
01:11:20,470 --> 01:11:21,320
Monsieur!
1349
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:22,080
Sir?
1350
01:11:22,130 --> 01:11:23,750
That will do, now. I wish...
1351
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,600
I know, you wish to look for
my own list of nature for moons
1352
01:11:25,630 --> 01:11:27,820
and happiness and character
of it's surface, if any.
1353
01:11:27,850 --> 01:11:29,060
I desire no such thing, I...
1354
01:11:29,100 --> 01:11:30,060
Of course not.
1355
01:11:32,940 --> 01:11:34,330
You wish to know
by what mysterious
1356
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:35,570
means I reached the moon.
1357
01:11:35,610 --> 01:11:37,870
Well, a very secret affair of state,
1358
01:11:37,900 --> 01:11:41,770
but confidentially
a new invention of my own.
1359
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:43,190
Drunk, two ways.
Well a man..
1360
01:11:43,230 --> 01:11:46,050
Oh, no. In truth I have
my choice of several inventions.
1361
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:46,600
Uh?
1362
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:50,850
Yes, several ways
to violate the virgin sky.
1363
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:52,210
Several?
1364
01:11:52,250 --> 01:11:53,510
Several.
1365
01:11:53,540 --> 01:11:57,520
As, for instance, smoke
having a natural tendency to rise,
1366
01:11:57,550 --> 01:12:02,050
blow in a globe
enough to raise me.
1367
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:03,300
Yes, that makes one.
1368
01:12:03,330 --> 01:12:06,780
Again, I might construct a rocket
in the shape of a HUGE locust
1369
01:12:06,820 --> 01:12:10,810
driven by impulses up within
a saltpeter from the rear
1370
01:12:10,850 --> 01:12:14,050
and thus speed upwards,
like, thus!
1371
01:12:14,260 --> 01:12:15,260
Yes, another?
1372
01:12:15,290 --> 01:12:18,950
Finally, seated on an iron plate,
hurl a magnet into the air.
1373
01:12:18,980 --> 01:12:21,810
The iron follows.
I catch the magnet.
1374
01:12:21,850 --> 01:12:25,330
Throw it again, and
so proceed indefinitely.
1375
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,460
Excellent, and
which did you adopt?
1376
01:12:31,450 --> 01:12:32,370
Why none of them.
1377
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:34,350
Yet another.
1378
01:12:34,390 --> 01:12:35,740
Which was...?
1379
01:12:46,810 --> 01:12:47,500
Guess.
1380
01:12:47,860 --> 01:12:49,370
Ahhh, I can't!
1381
01:12:50,090 --> 01:12:51,100
Try.
1382
01:12:52,340 --> 01:12:53,980
Interesting idiot, this.
1383
01:13:05,350 --> 01:13:06,540
Have you guessed it yet?
1384
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:07,960
Why, no, what is it?
1385
01:13:13,780 --> 01:13:15,870
Alas, you will never know,
but no matter.
1386
01:13:15,910 --> 01:13:18,470
You are free and
they are bound in wedlock.
1387
01:13:18,510 --> 01:13:21,010
I drunk that voice,
and that nose, Cyrano!
1388
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:23,710
Cyrano. This very moment
they have exchanged vows.
1389
01:13:23,750 --> 01:13:24,460
Who?
1390
01:13:29,820 --> 01:13:31,530
My sincere compliments.
1391
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,900
You, also, my traveler in space.
1392
01:13:34,940 --> 01:13:37,800
My Lord, the heads of Capathieu
and Joyce have joined together.
1393
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:38,750
Quite so!
1394
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:44,160
Madame, kindly bid
your... husband farewell.
1395
01:13:44,190 --> 01:13:46,670
Your regiment leaves tonight, sir.
Report at once!
1396
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:49,320
But, the Cadets are not called.
1397
01:13:49,350 --> 01:13:51,850
They are, indeed, and
under my command.
1398
01:13:52,710 --> 01:13:55,080
Out there we may
have an accounting.
1399
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:58,130
Somehow, that news
fails to disquiet me.
1400
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,190
Here are the orders.
Baron, deliver this.
1401
01:14:02,500 --> 01:14:03,650
Christian!
1402
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,660
The bridal night
is not so near.
1403
01:14:10,090 --> 01:14:13,400
Somehow that news
fails to disquiet me.
1404
01:14:17,710 --> 01:14:19,340
Baron, you have your orders.
1405
01:14:36,270 --> 01:14:37,530
Farewell, Roxane.
1406
01:14:38,290 --> 01:14:40,490
Take care of him, for me.
Promise me never to let him
1407
01:14:40,530 --> 01:14:41,400
do anything dangerous.
1408
01:14:41,430 --> 01:14:42,890
I will do my best.
I cannot promise.
1409
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:44,970
I thought you brave always.
Make him be careful.
1410
01:14:45,010 --> 01:14:46,070
Yes, yes, I'll try.
1411
01:14:46,110 --> 01:14:47,840
Be sure to keep him
warm and dry!
1412
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:49,150
Yes, if possible.
1413
01:14:49,190 --> 01:14:51,820
Have him write to me
every single day!
1414
01:14:51,860 --> 01:14:54,090
That, I promise you.
1415
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,970
(the war with Spain)
1416
01:15:40,820 --> 01:15:41,540
Halt!
1417
01:16:03,370 --> 01:16:03,920
Uh!
1418
01:16:13,930 --> 01:16:18,590
(Madame Baroness de Neuvillette,
Rue Marais No. 12, Paris)
1419
01:16:46,610 --> 01:16:48,170
The situation
is simple, gentlemen.
1420
01:16:48,420 --> 01:16:53,340
We have besieged Arras.
The Prince of Spain has besieged us.
1421
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,960
Consequently, we
are surrounded.
1422
01:16:56,050 --> 01:16:58,920
- A fine war. Where
the besiegers are besieged
1423
01:16:58,950 --> 01:17:00,020
and starve to death.
1424
01:17:00,060 --> 01:17:01,990
Yes, but the Marshal has
devised a brilliant plan
1425
01:17:02,030 --> 01:17:03,480
for bringing in food
this very night.
1426
01:17:03,510 --> 01:17:04,460
Now, see here.
1427
01:17:04,500 --> 01:17:06,240
Spare us the details, Colonel.
1428
01:17:06,270 --> 01:17:08,820
Merely inform us
when the food arrives.
1429
01:17:08,860 --> 01:17:11,380
True, we are hungry.
But why blame me?
1430
01:17:11,700 --> 01:17:13,320
I'm only your Colonel.
1431
01:17:14,700 --> 01:17:16,910
Oh, yes, I know
you disprove of me.
1432
01:17:17,020 --> 01:17:18,940
Call me courtier, politician.
1433
01:17:19,430 --> 01:17:22,080
Well, I can afford you little hates.
1434
01:17:22,110 --> 01:17:24,730
My conduct under fire
is well known.
1435
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,170
It was only yesterday
I repelled a Spanish attack.
1436
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,070
Pouring my men down
like an avalanche.
1437
01:17:29,250 --> 01:17:30,710
I, myself lead the charge.
1438
01:17:30,900 --> 01:17:33,330
- And your white scarf?
(through a cannon barrel)
1439
01:17:33,370 --> 01:17:34,130
Cyrano!
1440
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:39,140
And your white scarf?
1441
01:17:39,150 --> 01:17:40,480
Eh, you heard that episode?
1442
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:44,110
Yes, I was so far in advance
I was in danger of being captured.
1443
01:17:44,180 --> 01:17:46,570
But I thought quickly,
took off and flung away
1444
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,290
the scarf that marked
my military rank.
1445
01:17:48,420 --> 01:17:51,150
And so being inconspicuous
escaped among my own force,
1446
01:17:51,410 --> 01:17:54,250
rallied them, returned,
and won the day.
1447
01:17:54,290 --> 01:17:55,500
What do you say to that?
1448
01:17:55,540 --> 01:17:58,550
Still, enough that is not likely
to resign the privilege of being a target.
1449
01:17:58,580 --> 01:18:01,690
How pleasant for you
that you are denied that privilege.
1450
01:18:01,730 --> 01:18:03,650
Pleasant?
Lend me your scarf.
1451
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:05,570
With your permission I shall
lead the first charge tonight
1452
01:18:05,610 --> 01:18:06,890
wearing it over my shoulder.
1453
01:18:06,930 --> 01:18:07,720
What bluster.
1454
01:18:07,750 --> 01:18:09,630
You're safe making that offer,
and you know it.
1455
01:18:09,670 --> 01:18:12,620
My scarf lies on the
river bank between the lines.
1456
01:18:12,650 --> 01:18:15,560
A spot swept by artillery.
Impossible to reach alive.
1457
01:18:15,700 --> 01:18:16,700
Yes.
1458
01:18:16,730 --> 01:18:20,500
(displays the Colonel's scarf)
1459
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:22,410
Here.
1460
01:18:22,580 --> 01:18:24,590
(laughter)
1461
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:26,500
Thank you.
1462
01:18:28,180 --> 01:18:31,000
This bit of white is
what I need to make a signal.
1463
01:18:31,820 --> 01:18:33,360
I was hesitating.
1464
01:18:33,940 --> 01:18:35,720
You have decided me.
1465
01:18:41,370 --> 01:18:43,010
- Stand or I'll fire!
- Hold you fire.
1466
01:18:43,050 --> 01:18:44,650
There's a man down
there running away.
1467
01:18:44,690 --> 01:18:46,700
Yes, a Spaniard.
1468
01:18:47,440 --> 01:18:50,310
But very useful as a spy
to both sides.
1469
01:18:51,270 --> 01:18:52,480
As I was about
to tell you.
1470
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,100
The Marshal has withdrawn
more than half our forces here.
1471
01:18:55,140 --> 01:18:57,190
Fortunately, the Spaniards
do not know that.
1472
01:18:57,230 --> 01:19:00,470
Oh, yes, they do now,
and they will attack tonight.
1473
01:19:00,510 --> 01:19:02,240
At this point.
1474
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:04,520
Your revenge, eh?
1475
01:19:04,550 --> 01:19:06,670
I make not great
pretense in loving you.
1476
01:19:06,770 --> 01:19:10,170
But since you gentlemen
esteem yourselves invincible,
1477
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,710
the bravest of the brave,
and all that.
1478
01:19:12,750 --> 01:19:14,120
Why need we be personal.
1479
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,710
The Marshal needs
a diversion, and I serve him
1480
01:19:16,740 --> 01:19:19,040
in choosing as I chose.
1481
01:19:19,210 --> 01:19:21,440
As you can see, Captain,
the great thing is to gain time.
1482
01:19:21,470 --> 01:19:23,070
To hold until the Marshal returns.
1483
01:19:23,180 --> 01:19:24,980
- And to gain time?
1484
01:19:25,490 --> 01:19:31,370
You will all be so kind
as to lay down your lives.
1485
01:19:39,610 --> 01:19:40,700
Christian?
1486
01:19:40,740 --> 01:19:41,400
Yes.
1487
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:46,130
Roxane?
1488
01:19:46,940 --> 01:19:49,260
I should like to say
farewell to her
1489
01:19:49,290 --> 01:19:51,580
with my whole
heart for her to keep.
1490
01:19:53,630 --> 01:19:55,610
I have taken the liberty of...
1491
01:19:58,580 --> 01:20:03,760
(the first letter
Christian is aware of)
1492
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:05,110
But, wait.
1493
01:20:07,270 --> 01:20:08,180
This little spot.
1494
01:20:08,620 --> 01:20:09,360
Spot?
1495
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:10,100
Yes.
1496
01:20:10,470 --> 01:20:11,550
A tear.
1497
01:20:13,500 --> 01:20:14,210
Is nothing.
1498
01:20:14,250 --> 01:20:16,860
A poet while he writes
is like a lover in his lady's arms,
1499
01:20:16,890 --> 01:20:19,060
believing his imagination,
everything seems real.
1500
01:20:19,090 --> 01:20:20,710
There's half the charm
of writing.
1501
01:20:21,230 --> 01:20:24,000
Now, I made this letter
so pathetic, that,
1502
01:20:24,030 --> 01:20:27,290
while I was writing it,
I wept.
1503
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:28,110
You wept?
1504
01:20:28,650 --> 01:20:31,590
Why, yes, because
it is a little thing to die,
1505
01:20:32,500 --> 01:20:36,710
but not to see her,...
that is terrible.
1506
01:20:37,700 --> 01:20:41,890
I shall never...,
you will never...
1507
01:20:42,480 --> 01:20:43,690
Give me that.
1508
01:20:45,190 --> 01:20:48,500
- Halt. Who goes there.
- On the service of the King.
1509
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:01,330
- The King!
- Fall in...
1510
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:11,620
Good evening.
1511
01:21:11,650 --> 01:21:13,540
On the King's service, you?
1512
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:25,850
- Gentlemen,...
- What are you doing here?
1513
01:21:25,890 --> 01:21:28,300
- We heard rumors at home
you were hungry,
1514
01:21:28,340 --> 01:21:29,810
- so we came prepared.
1515
01:21:29,850 --> 01:21:34,500
The Spaniards adored the fare,
but they missed the fowl!
1516
01:21:34,530 --> 01:21:37,560
(soldiers clamor for food)
1517
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:47,020
But why did you come here
into this, this danger?
1518
01:21:47,060 --> 01:21:49,420
They said in Paris
there was no fighting.
1519
01:21:50,450 --> 01:21:53,620
Besides, it was your own fault.
1520
01:22:01,410 --> 01:22:03,770
Think of the
letters you have written me.
1521
01:22:04,050 --> 01:22:06,510
How many times!
Every day!
1522
01:22:06,550 --> 01:22:07,680
Every day?
1523
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:08,820
Of course.
1524
01:22:08,980 --> 01:22:11,560
And each one
more wonderful than the last.
1525
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:14,820
All this, for a few absurd love letters.
1526
01:22:14,860 --> 01:22:18,050
Hush. Absurd?
Your letters...no, never.
1527
01:22:19,030 --> 01:22:22,730
Every one was like hearing your voice
that night in the dark. Remember?
1528
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:26,590
Like your arms around me.
I read them over and over.
1529
01:22:26,630 --> 01:22:30,420
Every page was like
a petal fallen from you soul.
1530
01:22:30,460 --> 01:22:33,350
Like the light
and the fire of a great love.
1531
01:22:33,390 --> 01:22:36,020
- Sweet and strong and true.
- Sweet.
1532
01:22:36,180 --> 01:22:37,280
Strong.
1533
01:22:37,590 --> 01:22:38,490
True?
1534
01:22:41,570 --> 01:22:43,090
Oh, my Christian.
1535
01:22:43,690 --> 01:22:46,420
I came here to ask forgiveness.
1536
01:22:47,660 --> 01:22:49,380
It is time to be forgiven.
1537
01:22:49,860 --> 01:22:51,950
Now, when we
may die so soon.
1538
01:22:53,780 --> 01:22:55,380
Forgive me for being
light and vain
1539
01:22:55,410 --> 01:22:57,570
and loving you only
because you were handsome.
1540
01:22:57,600 --> 01:22:59,230
- For now...
- Now?
1541
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:01,940
I love you for yourself.
1542
01:23:02,350 --> 01:23:04,090
For what you are.
1543
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:05,340
Roxane.
1544
01:23:05,910 --> 01:23:09,000
How you must have suffered.
For you saw how frivolous I was.
1545
01:23:09,030 --> 01:23:11,300
And to be loved
for the mere costume,
1546
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,090
for the poor, casual
body you went about in.
1547
01:23:14,750 --> 01:23:17,620
To a soul like yours,
that must have been torture.
1548
01:23:17,650 --> 01:23:18,390
No.
1549
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:23,140
I understand.
1550
01:23:23,790 --> 01:23:25,930
You cannot perfectly
believe in me,
1551
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:27,530
a...a love like this...
1552
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:29,090
I want no love like this.
1553
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,020
I want love only for...
1554
01:23:31,050 --> 01:23:33,090
Only for what every
woman sees in you.
1555
01:23:33,700 --> 01:23:35,030
I can to better than that.
1556
01:23:35,060 --> 01:23:37,240
No, it...it was best before.
1557
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,090
You do not
altogether know me.
1558
01:23:40,540 --> 01:23:42,260
I was a child.
1559
01:23:42,350 --> 01:23:43,650
I'm a woman now.
1560
01:23:44,250 --> 01:23:46,720
- If...if you were less handsome,
- No.
1561
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:50,130
unattractive, ugly even,
I should love you, still.
1562
01:23:50,770 --> 01:23:51,900
Do you mean that?
1563
01:23:52,510 --> 01:23:53,750
I do mean that.
1564
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:55,020
Ugly?
1565
01:23:55,100 --> 01:23:56,200
Even then.
1566
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:58,050
Now, are you happy?
1567
01:24:03,470 --> 01:24:04,650
Yes.
1568
01:24:04,690 --> 01:24:05,500
What is it?
1569
01:24:06,190 --> 01:24:08,690
Nothing, only, Cyrano...
1570
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:10,830
Cyrano.
1571
01:24:12,050 --> 01:24:14,090
he has something
to tell you.
1572
01:24:16,180 --> 01:24:17,200
Where are you going?
1573
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:20,690
I...will...return...in a moment.
1574
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:30,050
Cyrano.
1575
01:24:30,650 --> 01:24:32,480
Your wife, sir,
she goes with me?
1576
01:24:32,510 --> 01:24:33,340
No, sir, she remains.
1577
01:24:33,380 --> 01:24:34,670
There is still time
for her to escape.
1578
01:24:34,710 --> 01:24:35,640
She stays!
1579
01:24:36,030 --> 01:24:36,790
Very well.
1580
01:24:36,820 --> 01:24:38,950
Someone give me a musket.
I stay here also.
1581
01:24:39,420 --> 01:24:40,640
Sir, you show courage.
1582
01:24:40,670 --> 01:24:42,890
What, shall I run away,
and leave a woman?
1583
01:24:43,450 --> 01:24:45,320
Colonel, my compliments, sir.
1584
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:47,810
What of Roxane?
1585
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:48,470
Wait.
1586
01:24:49,350 --> 01:24:50,860
Well, what is it?
You look so...
1587
01:24:52,830 --> 01:24:54,580
She does not love me.
1588
01:24:54,990 --> 01:24:57,310
- You think not?
- She loves you.
1589
01:24:57,340 --> 01:24:59,630
- No.
- She loves only my soul.
1590
01:24:59,660 --> 01:25:00,370
- No.
- Yes!
1591
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:03,140
That means you.
And you love her.
1592
01:25:03,170 --> 01:25:05,300
- I?
- I see. I know.
1593
01:25:05,340 --> 01:25:08,310
You wrote her,
everyday, every day!
1594
01:25:08,820 --> 01:25:10,030
- Perfectly simple.
- Simple?
1595
01:25:10,060 --> 01:25:11,700
For a month,
we've been blockaded here.
1596
01:25:11,740 --> 01:25:13,340
How did you send
all those letters?
1597
01:25:13,370 --> 01:25:14,500
Before daylight
I managed...
1598
01:25:14,530 --> 01:25:16,070
To face death
everyday.
1599
01:25:16,820 --> 01:25:17,950
You love her.
1600
01:25:19,020 --> 01:25:20,190
Yes.
1601
01:25:26,950 --> 01:25:27,890
Tell her so.
1602
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:29,250
- No.
- Why not?
1603
01:25:29,350 --> 01:25:32,290
Why?
Look at me.
1604
01:25:32,590 --> 01:25:35,420
She would love me
if I were ugly.
1605
01:25:35,990 --> 01:25:38,820
- She said that?
- Yes. Now, go to her.
1606
01:25:40,090 --> 01:25:42,410
Nonsense. Do not
believe any such madness.
1607
01:25:42,440 --> 01:25:44,730
Go back to her.
You never will be ugly.
1608
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:45,810
Go!
It is you she loves.
1609
01:25:45,850 --> 01:25:46,870
That is what
we shall see.
1610
01:25:46,900 --> 01:25:47,840
No, no!
1611
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:49,480
- Let her chose between us.
- No.
1612
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:51,510
- Tell her everything.
- Why do you torture me?
1613
01:25:51,550 --> 01:25:54,700
Shall I ruin your happiness,
because I was born with a pretty face?
1614
01:25:54,740 --> 01:25:57,210
Am I to ruin yours,
because I happen to have power
1615
01:25:57,250 --> 01:25:58,750
to say what you perhaps feel?
1616
01:25:58,780 --> 01:26:00,910
- Tell her!
- Don't drive me too far!
1617
01:26:00,950 --> 01:26:03,210
- I'm tired of being my own rival.
- Hard to know.
1618
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:05,470
My secret marriage, that
can be annulled, I expect.
1619
01:26:05,500 --> 01:26:07,790
I want her love
for the poor fool than I am,
1620
01:26:07,860 --> 01:26:09,020
or not at all.
1621
01:26:09,390 --> 01:26:12,090
Oh, I'm going through with this.
I'll know one way or the other.
1622
01:26:12,870 --> 01:26:15,280
Now, go!....Tell her.
1623
01:26:15,480 --> 01:26:16,790
Let her chose one of us.
1624
01:26:17,570 --> 01:26:18,780
It will be you.
1625
01:26:19,670 --> 01:26:21,330
I hope so.
1626
01:26:33,070 --> 01:26:33,820
- Captain!
1627
01:26:36,570 --> 01:26:38,100
The Spanish fires are going out.
1628
01:26:41,030 --> 01:26:42,160
It begins.
1629
01:26:42,220 --> 01:26:44,140
I need a scout. Where's Cyrano.
1630
01:26:44,490 --> 01:26:45,280
Captain.
1631
01:26:45,850 --> 01:26:46,740
Let me go.
1632
01:26:46,780 --> 01:26:49,490
No, my boy, Cyrano knows
the terrain. He knows their lines.
1633
01:26:49,530 --> 01:26:51,550
So do I.
Please, allow me.
1634
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:56,070
Very well.
We must know from which
1635
01:26:56,110 --> 01:26:58,810
direction the advance comes.
Their weight and numbers.
1636
01:26:58,840 --> 01:26:59,560
I understand.
1637
01:27:11,940 --> 01:27:12,780
Roxane.
1638
01:27:13,430 --> 01:27:14,450
Cyrano.
1639
01:27:14,480 --> 01:27:15,930
Christian thinks...
1640
01:27:17,470 --> 01:27:19,190
Christian thinks you
ought to know that...
1641
01:27:19,220 --> 01:27:20,240
But I do know.
1642
01:27:20,770 --> 01:27:22,850
He still doubts what I
just told him, just now.
1643
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:23,860
I saw that.
1644
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:27,560
Yes, but,...was it true,
what you told him just now?
1645
01:27:27,590 --> 01:27:28,900
It was true.
1646
01:27:28,990 --> 01:27:32,270
I said that I should love him,
even if he were....
1647
01:27:33,020 --> 01:27:34,580
The word comes
hard before me?
1648
01:27:37,420 --> 01:27:38,860
Say it, I shall
not be hurt.
1649
01:27:39,370 --> 01:27:40,620
Ugly?
1650
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:42,130
Even, then
I should love him.
1651
01:27:43,500 --> 01:27:44,690
Disfigured.
1652
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:45,870
Or disfigured.
1653
01:27:46,480 --> 01:27:49,620
Even....grotesque.
1654
01:27:49,650 --> 01:27:51,350
How could he
every be grotesque,
1655
01:27:51,810 --> 01:27:52,950
ever to me?
1656
01:27:52,990 --> 01:27:55,580
But, you could love him so,
as much as?
1657
01:27:55,610 --> 01:27:56,790
Yes, and more.
1658
01:27:57,320 --> 01:27:58,320
Roxane...
1659
01:27:58,350 --> 01:27:59,300
(gunshot)
1660
01:27:59,340 --> 01:28:00,260
What is it?
1661
01:28:01,550 --> 01:28:02,600
Are they fighting?
1662
01:28:05,250 --> 01:28:06,510
What is happening?
1663
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:08,010
- The Spaniards advance,
1664
01:28:08,940 --> 01:28:09,930
but there is time.
1665
01:28:10,480 --> 01:28:12,370
- Where is Christian?
- At the parapet.
1666
01:28:12,820 --> 01:28:13,890
Oh, of course.
1667
01:28:14,930 --> 01:28:16,750
What is it
that you wish to tell me?
1668
01:28:16,780 --> 01:28:18,140
Roxane,...
1669
01:28:18,810 --> 01:28:21,690
believe me this is difficult,
and for once I lack words.
1670
01:28:24,690 --> 01:28:26,330
Christian asked me to...
1671
01:28:26,440 --> 01:28:27,850
He told me...
1672
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:38,220
Christian!
1673
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:42,970
To your places, gentlemen.
1674
01:28:43,970 --> 01:28:45,130
Is he dead?
1675
01:28:45,170 --> 01:28:46,260
No, but dying.
1676
01:28:46,300 --> 01:28:47,660
I will not let him!
1677
01:28:51,870 --> 01:28:54,530
Cyrano...did you?
1678
01:28:54,570 --> 01:28:56,610
Yes, my friend.
I have told her.
1679
01:28:58,350 --> 01:28:59,450
She loves you.
1680
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:02,190
Roxane.
1681
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:03,570
Yes, my darling.
1682
01:29:06,020 --> 01:29:07,320
Christian!
1683
01:29:08,170 --> 01:29:09,370
He is not dead?
1684
01:29:10,930 --> 01:29:11,830
Yes.
1685
01:29:12,310 --> 01:29:13,640
(gasp)
1686
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:22,890
Time you must go, now.
1687
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:25,860
Really, he is dead.
1688
01:29:25,890 --> 01:29:27,740
No one else
knew him but you.
1689
01:29:28,250 --> 01:29:29,630
Was he not a hero?
1690
01:29:29,670 --> 01:29:30,700
Yes, Roxane.
1691
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:33,340
A heart deeper
than we knew.
1692
01:29:33,380 --> 01:29:34,930
Yes, Roxane.
1693
01:29:35,010 --> 01:29:39,310
A poet.
A soul magnificently tender.
1694
01:29:41,750 --> 01:29:43,660
Yes, Roxane.
1695
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:46,740
But he is dead now.
1696
01:29:48,390 --> 01:29:50,030
(collapses sobbing)
1697
01:29:50,070 --> 01:29:51,230
Why, so am I.
1698
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:55,060
For I am dead
and my love mourns for me
1699
01:29:55,100 --> 01:29:56,550
and does not know.
1700
01:29:58,190 --> 01:29:59,530
Will never know.
1701
01:29:59,570 --> 01:30:00,990
(rapid gunfire)
1702
01:30:01,030 --> 01:30:02,410
(bugle calls)
1703
01:30:03,030 --> 01:30:04,030
Take her away quickly.
1704
01:30:05,670 --> 01:30:06,500
Wait.
1705
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:09,220
A letter over his heart.
1706
01:30:11,490 --> 01:30:12,850
(sobbing)
1707
01:30:16,740 --> 01:30:18,460
I have two deaths
to avenge, now,
1708
01:30:19,090 --> 01:30:22,670
Christian's...and my own.
1709
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:42,210
(fighting becomes intense)
1710
01:30:43,330 --> 01:30:46,820
(the Spanish army advances)
1711
01:30:49,450 --> 01:30:50,280
Fire!
1712
01:31:00,270 --> 01:31:02,810
Surrender or you die!
1713
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:51,720
(de Guiche)
Look! The signal!
1714
01:32:59,940 --> 01:33:00,940
Ah!
1715
01:33:07,070 --> 01:33:09,610
We fought. We died.
We fought again.
1716
01:33:09,750 --> 01:33:12,760
Who are these men who are
so fond of death, one Spaniard cried.
1717
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:14,440
On and on, they came.
1718
01:33:14,570 --> 01:33:17,210
Then, when all seemed lost,
we heard the trumpets
1719
01:33:17,250 --> 01:33:19,850
of our returning troops.
The battle was ours!
1720
01:33:20,690 --> 01:33:24,050
Ah, you have been fortunate,
Ms. de Bergerac, you have lived!
1721
01:33:24,090 --> 01:33:28,870
While we, we waste our youth.
There is no war and not hope for any.
1722
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:30,880
No hope for any?
1723
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:34,220
My fellow, I just realize,
we are both fools.
1724
01:33:34,630 --> 01:33:37,550
But mine is the greater folly,
for I am an older fool.
1725
01:33:38,170 --> 01:33:42,320
What is more......
Everything I told you was a lie.
1726
01:33:47,550 --> 01:33:49,680
Another satire
for the Gazette?
1727
01:33:49,710 --> 01:33:50,410
Yes.
1728
01:33:50,820 --> 01:33:53,480
Another glove flung
in the face of power?
1729
01:33:53,650 --> 01:33:55,400
Oh, why do you
do it, Cyrano?
1730
01:33:55,430 --> 01:33:57,860
- Why do you attack...
- Stupidity?
1731
01:33:57,880 --> 01:34:01,180
Deceit? Corruption?
I'm too old to change.
1732
01:34:01,370 --> 01:34:03,980
I'm an old dog
with nothing left but his teeth.
1733
01:34:04,010 --> 01:34:06,580
Ah, but teeth can be pulled.
That can be painful.
1734
01:34:10,440 --> 01:34:14,580
That insolent wretch.
That scoundrel de Bergerac.
1735
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:17,180
This time he's gone too far.
I swear it.
1736
01:34:17,210 --> 01:34:18,790
He's signed his death warrant.
1737
01:34:19,950 --> 01:34:21,730
And who will deliver it?
1738
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:25,040
His sword is still very
powerful, my friend.
1739
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:27,230
There are may ways
a man can die.
1740
01:34:27,990 --> 01:34:29,550
Who knows?
1741
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:31,430
He may meet
with an accident.
1742
01:34:32,550 --> 01:34:33,570
Soon.
1743
01:34:35,100 --> 01:34:38,710
(church chimes)
1744
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:46,060
But, uh, tell me, Madame.
1745
01:34:46,180 --> 01:34:50,830
How long will you continue
to remain here, forever in mourning?
1746
01:34:51,670 --> 01:34:52,570
Forever.
1747
01:34:53,060 --> 01:34:55,080
Was Christian all that?
1748
01:34:55,770 --> 01:34:57,400
If you knew him
you would not ask.
1749
01:34:57,950 --> 01:35:00,150
His last letter
is still in my heart.
1750
01:35:00,820 --> 01:35:04,770
And, uh, Cyrano?
Do you see him often?
1751
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:09,240
Every week. My old friend
takes the place of my Gazette.
1752
01:35:09,620 --> 01:35:11,320
He brings me all the news.
1753
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:14,940
Every Saturday under
that tree out there.
1754
01:35:14,980 --> 01:35:17,070
I wait for him embroidering.
1755
01:35:17,430 --> 01:35:20,240
The hour strikes.
I need not turn to look.
1756
01:35:20,570 --> 01:35:24,070
At the last stroke,
I hear his cane tapping the walk.
1757
01:35:24,100 --> 01:35:26,430
His satires have made
him many enemies.
1758
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:29,740
But, they still fear
that sword of his.
1759
01:35:30,330 --> 01:35:32,130
No one dare touch him.
1760
01:35:32,510 --> 01:35:33,670
Hm, that may be so.
1761
01:35:35,620 --> 01:35:38,160
It is not violence
I fear for him,
1762
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:42,560
but solitude, poverty.
Old gray Decembers
1763
01:35:42,590 --> 01:35:45,350
stealing on wolf's feet
into his darkened room.
1764
01:35:46,010 --> 01:35:48,230
It seems to me he's
worn the same old coat
1765
01:35:48,260 --> 01:35:49,610
for many months, now.
1766
01:35:49,650 --> 01:35:51,740
Eh, that is nothing
strange in this world.
1767
01:35:51,780 --> 01:35:53,820
You need not pity
him overmuch.
1768
01:35:53,860 --> 01:35:56,930
He lives his life,
his own life his own way,
1769
01:35:56,970 --> 01:36:00,300
thought, word and deed free.
1770
01:36:00,450 --> 01:36:01,610
My Lord Duke.
1771
01:36:01,750 --> 01:36:05,860
Oh, yes, I know.
I have all. He has nothing.
1772
01:36:06,370 --> 01:36:12,170
Nevertheless, today,
I should be proud to shake his hand.
1773
01:36:12,350 --> 01:36:14,000
Ah, well, adieu.
1774
01:36:14,670 --> 01:36:16,300
Will I ever see you again?
1775
01:36:16,340 --> 01:36:17,970
Come whenever you like.
1776
01:36:18,010 --> 01:36:19,610
Then, you have forgiven me.
1777
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:21,680
I am here.
1778
01:36:22,950 --> 01:36:25,380
Do you know?
When a man wins
1779
01:36:25,420 --> 01:36:29,750
everything in this world,
when he succeeds too much,
1780
01:36:29,790 --> 01:36:34,190
he feels, somehow,
a thousand small displeasures
1781
01:36:34,230 --> 01:36:38,560
with himself, whose whole sum
is not quite remorse
1782
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:45,570
but rather a sort of vague
disgust, dry illusions, pained regrets.
1783
01:36:45,870 --> 01:36:48,730
Yes, now and then,
I envy your Cyrano.
1784
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:50,860
The sentiment
does you honor.
1785
01:36:50,890 --> 01:36:52,250
(chuckling)
1786
01:36:59,350 --> 01:37:04,280
Madame, I must tell you,
it is true that no one has yet
1787
01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:06,490
dared to attack
your friend Cyrano.
1788
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:11,380
Nevertheless, at the theater
last night, I heard some things.
1789
01:37:12,260 --> 01:37:13,720
Keep him at home all you can.
1790
01:37:14,090 --> 01:37:17,330
Tomorrow when you see him,
tell him to be careful.
1791
01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:19,130
I thank you.
1792
01:37:32,050 --> 01:37:33,140
(Cyrano)
Good night, Ragueneau.
1793
01:37:33,180 --> 01:37:35,120
(Ragueneau)
Cyrano, you not leaving?
1794
01:37:35,150 --> 01:37:37,030
You will not have
dinner here with me?
1795
01:37:37,060 --> 01:37:38,860
(Cyrano)
My regrets. I have a magnificent
1796
01:37:38,900 --> 01:37:42,450
roast waiting for me, a rare wine,
a gift from my publisher.
1797
01:37:42,490 --> 01:37:43,890
(Ragueneau)
Fine, to be sure.
1798
01:37:44,650 --> 01:37:47,490
Uh, have you seen
Moliere's new play?
1799
01:37:47,530 --> 01:37:48,160
No.
1800
01:37:48,340 --> 01:37:49,650
Heh, ah, well....
1801
01:37:49,690 --> 01:37:50,580
What is it?
1802
01:37:50,610 --> 01:37:51,460
Well, he...
1803
01:37:51,500 --> 01:37:52,250
Speak.
1804
01:37:52,290 --> 01:37:55,220
He stole a scene
from you, word for word.
1805
01:37:55,250 --> 01:37:57,140
You know, "What the devil
was he doing there?"
1806
01:37:57,170 --> 01:37:57,730
That one.
1807
01:37:57,770 --> 01:37:59,040
He stole it, bodily.
1808
01:37:59,070 --> 01:38:01,300
Well, he showed
good taste.
1809
01:38:01,340 --> 01:38:03,020
It, uh, played well?
1810
01:38:03,060 --> 01:38:05,450
Oh, beautifully. They
laughed and laughed.
1811
01:38:05,480 --> 01:38:06,810
Oh, how they laughed.
1812
01:38:07,250 --> 01:38:08,560
Moliere has genius.
1813
01:38:09,370 --> 01:38:11,010
Christian had good looks.
1814
01:38:12,170 --> 01:38:13,610
With me, it was
always thus.
1815
01:38:16,050 --> 01:38:17,240
Good night, my friend.
1816
01:38:32,340 --> 01:38:32,950
(man)
Hold, there.
1817
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:33,950
(man)
You!
1818
01:38:35,650 --> 01:38:36,850
(Cyrano)
Are you addressing me?
1819
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:38,990
Yes, you, Monsieur
of the long nose.
1820
01:38:39,100 --> 01:38:40,000
Insolence.
1821
01:38:40,290 --> 01:38:41,990
- Foulmouthed scribbler.
- What?
1822
01:38:42,020 --> 01:38:43,440
- Lair, plagiarist!
- Liar.
1823
01:38:47,910 --> 01:38:49,660
(whistling to wagon)
1824
01:39:08,630 --> 01:39:10,920
(driver whips horses)
1825
01:39:27,570 --> 01:39:28,490
Doctor.
1826
01:39:29,930 --> 01:39:31,260
Why pretend?
1827
01:39:31,550 --> 01:39:32,910
It is very grave.
1828
01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:35,500
Keep him quiet
at all costs.
1829
01:39:35,540 --> 01:39:38,500
If he attempts
to rise, he will die.
1830
01:39:38,540 --> 01:39:39,810
Shhhh.
1831
01:39:43,220 --> 01:39:43,930
Thank you.
1832
01:39:44,980 --> 01:39:47,240
(door closes)
1833
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:55,820
(gate bell rings)
1834
01:39:59,820 --> 01:40:01,490
(gate opens)
1835
01:40:01,530 --> 01:40:03,170
Monsieur.
1836
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:03,860
Ah, Sister.
1837
01:40:09,810 --> 01:40:10,880
(gasp)
1838
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:12,350
What is the matter
with you?
1839
01:40:14,480 --> 01:40:15,900
Shall I tell you
something, Sister?
1840
01:40:16,540 --> 01:40:20,470
Yesterday, Friday, mind you,
I ate meat again.
1841
01:40:21,930 --> 01:40:23,000
Yes, I know.
1842
01:40:23,350 --> 01:40:25,080
That is why you
are so pale.
1843
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:27,930
Please come to me
to the refectory before you go.
1844
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,250
I'll make you a great
bowl of hot soup.
1845
01:40:30,280 --> 01:40:31,630
Of course, of course.
1846
01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:33,950
You're quite reasonable today.
1847
01:40:33,990 --> 01:40:36,120
Perhaps you'll convert me.
1848
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:38,260
Oh, no! Not for the world.
1849
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:40,690
Why, now I think of it,
that is so.
1850
01:40:41,070 --> 01:40:44,560
You, bursting with holiness,
and yet you never preach.
1851
01:40:45,470 --> 01:40:46,760
Astonishing.
1852
01:40:47,060 --> 01:40:49,100
And now I shall astonish you.
1853
01:40:49,690 --> 01:40:54,110
I'm going to let you
pray for me tonight, at Vespers.
1854
01:40:55,830 --> 01:40:58,700
Absolutely struck dumb, eh?
1855
01:41:02,550 --> 01:41:05,180
I did not wait for you
to say I might.
1856
01:41:14,930 --> 01:41:17,450
Now may the devil admire
me if never hope to see
1857
01:41:17,490 --> 01:41:19,570
the end of that embroidery.
1858
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:23,440
After 14 years,
late for the first time.
1859
01:41:23,480 --> 01:41:26,550
Yes.
Yes, maddening.
1860
01:41:27,330 --> 01:41:31,480
I was detained by
a visitor. Most unexpected.
1861
01:41:32,150 --> 01:41:33,660
An old friend of mine.
1862
01:41:34,540 --> 01:41:36,830
At least a very
old acquaintance.
1863
01:41:36,870 --> 01:41:38,320
Did you tell him
to go away?
1864
01:41:38,980 --> 01:41:40,410
For the time being, yes.
1865
01:41:40,440 --> 01:41:45,270
I said excuse me,
I see that it's Saturday,
1866
01:41:45,620 --> 01:41:48,200
I have a previous
engagement.
1867
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:49,620
One I cannot miss.
1868
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:52,340
Even for you.
1869
01:41:53,250 --> 01:41:55,310
Come back an hour from now.
1870
01:41:55,420 --> 01:41:59,170
Your friend will have to wait.
I shall not let you go till dark.
1871
01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:04,970
Perhaps a little before dark,
I must go.
1872
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:09,080
Oh, then tell me now
the court news. My Gazette.
1873
01:42:10,390 --> 01:42:14,190
Ah, yes, well, let me see.
1874
01:42:16,350 --> 01:42:20,840
Saturday, 19th, the King
fell ill after eight helpings of
1875
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:22,170
grape marmalade.
1876
01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:26,320
Grape marmalade will
no longer be served at court.
1877
01:42:28,190 --> 01:42:33,010
Sunday, the royal pulse
is now normal.
1878
01:42:34,630 --> 01:42:37,930
Monday, everyone was
talking about the success
1879
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:39,600
of Moliere's new play.
1880
01:42:40,830 --> 01:42:46,110
Tuesday, the King fell ill
after six helpings of marone glacee.
1881
01:42:47,910 --> 01:42:50,130
Marone glacee will no
longer be served at court.
1882
01:42:51,710 --> 01:42:55,700
Wednesday, the Compte de Firske
spoke to Madame de Monte Glas.
1883
01:42:56,500 --> 01:42:59,380
She said....no.
1884
01:43:01,480 --> 01:43:07,450
Thursday.... Nothing.
1885
01:43:07,490 --> 01:43:10,580
Friday, Madame de Monte Glas
said yes.
1886
01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:18,800
Saturday, 25th....
1887
01:43:19,450 --> 01:43:20,520
Cyrano!
1888
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:24,010
What is it?
Cyrano!
1889
01:43:28,660 --> 01:43:31,300
- Oh, no, no, it is nothing.
- What?
1890
01:43:31,750 --> 01:43:34,200
The old wound at Arras
sometimes...
1891
01:43:34,230 --> 01:43:36,980
- My poor friend.
- No, no, no, it is nothing.
1892
01:43:37,830 --> 01:43:39,350
It will soon be gone.
1893
01:43:41,010 --> 01:43:44,990
(gasp) There. 'Tis gone.
1894
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:48,480
We all have
our old wounds.
1895
01:43:49,020 --> 01:43:53,920
I have mine here,
under this faded scrap of writing.
1896
01:43:55,380 --> 01:43:57,340
It's hard to read now.
1897
01:43:58,370 --> 01:44:01,340
All for the blots
and tears.
1898
01:44:01,370 --> 01:44:02,560
His letter?
1899
01:44:03,480 --> 01:44:06,650
Did you not promise me,
that someday you would let me read it?
1900
01:44:07,090 --> 01:44:12,350
- This letter? You wish...?
- I do wish it....today.
1901
01:44:22,650 --> 01:44:24,230
Open it and read.
1902
01:44:49,700 --> 01:44:54,660
"Farewell, Roxane,
because today I die."
1903
01:44:54,690 --> 01:44:56,000
Aloud?
1904
01:44:57,180 --> 01:45:00,150
"I know that it will be today,
my own dearly beloved.
1905
01:45:01,630 --> 01:45:04,900
"Yet, my heart still so heavy
with love I have not told.
1906
01:45:06,440 --> 01:45:11,330
"And I shall die without telling you.
1907
01:45:11,900 --> 01:45:15,740
"No more shall my eyes
drink the sight of you like wine,
1908
01:45:16,230 --> 01:45:19,180
"never more with a look
that is a kiss,
1909
01:45:19,740 --> 01:45:22,430
"follow the sweet
grace of you."
1910
01:45:22,470 --> 01:45:24,400
How you read it.
His letter.
1911
01:45:24,440 --> 01:45:26,300
"I remember now the way you have
1912
01:45:26,340 --> 01:45:30,280
"of pushing back a lock of hair
with one hand from your forehead,
1913
01:45:30,860 --> 01:45:33,270
- "and my heart cries out..."
- His letter!
1914
01:45:33,310 --> 01:45:35,000
- "cries out and keeps crying."
1915
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:38,240
- You read it so...
- "Farewell, my dear, my dearest,"
1916
01:45:38,270 --> 01:45:40,650
- In a voice...
- "my own heart's own,"
1917
01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:44,230
- "my own treasure,"
- In such a voice!
- "my...love."
1918
01:45:44,260 --> 01:45:47,140
Yes, I remember hearing long ago.
1919
01:45:47,490 --> 01:45:52,210
"I am never away from you.
Even now I shall not leave you.
1920
01:45:53,110 --> 01:45:56,360
"In another world, I shall
still be that one who loves you,
1921
01:45:56,390 --> 01:46:00,110
"loves you beyond measure,
beyond..."
1922
01:46:09,180 --> 01:46:11,130
But, how can you read it now?
1923
01:46:14,420 --> 01:46:17,810
And all those 14 years
he has been the old friend
1924
01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:19,650
who came to me to be amusing.
1925
01:46:20,930 --> 01:46:23,170
- Roxane.
- It was you.
1926
01:46:23,910 --> 01:46:24,880
No, no, Roxane, no.
1927
01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:28,100
And I might have know it every time
that I heard you speak my name.
1928
01:46:28,130 --> 01:46:31,690
- No, it was not I.
- It was you!
- I swear.
1929
01:46:32,460 --> 01:46:34,810
- The letters. That was you.
- No.
1930
01:46:35,140 --> 01:46:38,960
- And the dear foolish words.
That was you.
- No.
1931
01:46:39,190 --> 01:46:43,290
- And the voice in the dark.
That was you.
- On my honor!
1932
01:46:43,330 --> 01:46:47,170
And the soul.
It was all you.
1933
01:46:47,270 --> 01:46:49,180
I never loved you.
1934
01:46:49,350 --> 01:46:50,850
Yes, you loved me.
1935
01:46:50,970 --> 01:46:52,740
Even now you love me.
1936
01:46:53,660 --> 01:46:55,610
(gasp)
No!
1937
01:46:55,650 --> 01:46:57,920
And twice you're great to know.
1938
01:46:57,950 --> 01:47:00,760
Oh, no, no, my own dear love,
I love you not.
1939
01:47:03,340 --> 01:47:05,840
Why were you silent
for so many years?
1940
01:47:06,580 --> 01:47:07,860
All the while.
1941
01:47:08,090 --> 01:47:11,110
Every night, and every day,
he gave me nothing.
1942
01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:13,120
You knew that.
1943
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:16,680
You knew in that letter
lying on my breast.
1944
01:47:17,940 --> 01:47:19,230
Your tears.
1945
01:47:20,580 --> 01:47:22,770
You knew they
were your tears.
1946
01:47:26,390 --> 01:47:28,270
The blood was his.
1947
01:47:29,370 --> 01:47:30,200
Cyrano!
1948
01:47:32,690 --> 01:47:34,320
Here! He's here.
1949
01:47:34,490 --> 01:47:36,270
Oh, what recklessness.
1950
01:47:36,310 --> 01:47:36,570
No.
1951
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:37,430
I knew it!
1952
01:47:37,490 --> 01:47:40,440
- Oh Madame he has killed
himself coming here.
- No. Shh.
1953
01:47:40,700 --> 01:47:42,220
That drink is, what is it?
1954
01:47:42,290 --> 01:47:45,510
Nothing. I did not
finish my Gazette.
1955
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:49,970
Saturday, 26th, an hour
or so before dinner
1956
01:47:50,540 --> 01:47:55,340
Ms. de Bergerac died,
foully murdered.
1957
01:47:55,690 --> 01:47:57,470
Cyrano, what have
they done to you?
1958
01:47:57,600 --> 01:47:59,540
How fate loves a jest.
1959
01:47:59,980 --> 01:48:03,000
Behold me ambushed,
taken unawares.
1960
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:08,830
My noble foe, a lackey.
My battlefield, a gutter.
1961
01:48:09,490 --> 01:48:10,950
It seems too logical.
1962
01:48:11,370 --> 01:48:13,040
They have missed everything,
1963
01:48:13,820 --> 01:48:15,290
even my death.
1964
01:48:16,330 --> 01:48:17,950
Sisters! Sisters!
1965
01:48:17,990 --> 01:48:21,350
No, do not go away.
I may not be here when you return.
1966
01:48:22,030 --> 01:48:23,760
You shall not die.
1967
01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:25,460
(sobbing)
I love you.
1968
01:48:25,490 --> 01:48:27,410
No, my lady,
it's not in the story.
1969
01:48:28,100 --> 01:48:29,900
When beauty said
I love you to the beast
1970
01:48:29,930 --> 01:48:32,990
all his ugliness changed
and dissolved, like magic.
1971
01:48:33,550 --> 01:48:37,370
But, you see,
I am still the same.
1972
01:48:37,440 --> 01:48:39,430
And I have
done this to you.
1973
01:48:39,470 --> 01:48:40,620
You? Why no.
1974
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:42,060
All my fault, mine!
1975
01:48:42,100 --> 01:48:43,320
On the contrary.
1976
01:48:44,060 --> 01:48:47,080
I have never know womanhood
in its sweetness, but for you.
1977
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:50,750
My mother did not
like to look at me.
1978
01:48:52,050 --> 01:48:53,530
I never had a sister.
1979
01:48:54,880 --> 01:49:01,130
Later, I feared those sweethearts
with mockery behind her smile.
1980
01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:06,150
But, because of you,
I have had across my life
1981
01:49:06,930 --> 01:49:10,600
one whispering, silken gown.
1982
01:49:12,780 --> 01:49:15,200
I never loved but
one man in my life.
1983
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:18,680
I have lost him, twice.
1984
01:49:19,660 --> 01:49:23,540
(sobbing)
1985
01:49:23,570 --> 01:49:27,890
I would not have you mourning
any less that good, noble Christian.
1986
01:49:28,980 --> 01:49:32,570
But, perhaps, I ask only this,
1987
01:49:34,100 --> 01:49:36,370
when the great cold
gathers around my bones,
1988
01:49:37,770 --> 01:49:42,590
you may give a double
meaning to your widow's weeds.
1989
01:49:43,910 --> 01:49:50,900
The tears you let fall for him,
may for a little, be my tears.
1990
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:53,040
Oh, my love!
1991
01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:58,400
No, not here.
Not lying down.
1992
01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:01,300
Let no one help me.
No one need help me.
1993
01:50:06,310 --> 01:50:07,430
It is coming.
1994
01:50:08,260 --> 01:50:11,460
I feel already shod with marble.
1995
01:50:12,720 --> 01:50:13,950
Gloved with lead.
1996
01:50:14,730 --> 01:50:16,700
Very well,
let the old fellow come now.
1997
01:50:17,190 --> 01:50:19,600
He shall find me
on my feet.
1998
01:50:21,670 --> 01:50:23,120
Sword in hand.
1999
01:50:23,160 --> 01:50:24,110
Cyrano!
2000
01:50:24,500 --> 01:50:25,890
He'd delirious.
2001
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:28,000
I see him now.
2002
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:28,700
He grins.
2003
01:50:28,740 --> 01:50:30,750
He is looking at my nose!
2004
01:50:30,790 --> 01:50:31,820
That skeleton.
2005
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:33,730
You there.
2006
01:50:33,970 --> 01:50:34,670
Who are you?
2007
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:36,950
A hundred against one, eh?
2008
01:50:37,300 --> 01:50:40,020
I know them now,
my ancient enemies.
2009
01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:40,960
Falsehood, there!
2010
01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:42,470
There, Prejudice!
2011
01:50:42,490 --> 01:50:44,100
Compromise, Cowardice.
2012
01:50:44,580 --> 01:50:47,160
What's that?
Surrender? No, never!
2013
01:50:47,190 --> 01:50:48,430
Never!
2014
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:50,820
Ah, you too, Vanity.
2015
01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:54,180
I knew you would
overthrow me in the end.
2016
01:50:54,210 --> 01:50:57,310
No, I fight, I fight on,
I fight....ow!
2017
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:01,000
(gasping)
2018
01:51:06,540 --> 01:51:08,550
All my laurels
you have riven away.
2019
01:51:10,290 --> 01:51:11,770
And my roses.
2020
01:51:12,940 --> 01:51:15,600
Yet, in spite of you,
there is one crown
2021
01:51:15,630 --> 01:51:16,980
I made away with me.
2022
01:51:17,020 --> 01:51:20,380
And tonight when I
enter before God,
2023
01:51:21,850 --> 01:51:27,140
my salute shall sweep away
the stars from the blue threshold.
2024
01:51:28,310 --> 01:51:33,240
One thing without stain,
unspotted from the world,
2025
01:51:34,240 --> 01:51:40,610
in spite of doom, mine own,
...and that is...
2026
01:51:43,220 --> 01:51:51,220
my...white...plume...

In seventeenth-century Paris, poet and supreme swordsman Cyrano de Bergerac (José Ferrer) stops a play from being shown because he ostensibly cannot stand the bombastic style of the principal actor, Montfleury (Arthur Blake). An annoyed aristocratic fop, the Vicomte de Valvert (Albert Cavens), provokes him into a duel by tritely insulting Cyrano's enormous nose. Cyrano first mocks his lack of wit, improvising numerous inventive ways in which Valvert could have phrased it (much to the amusement of the audience). He then composes a ballade for the occasion on the spot and recites it during the sword fight. With the last line, he stabs his opponent.
Cyrano's friend Le Bret (Morris Carnovsky), Captain of the Gascony Guards, warns him he has made powerful enemies of his victim's friends, but he is unconcerned. When Le Bret presses him to reveal the real reason he hates Montfleury, Cyrano admits that he became jealous when he saw the actor smiling at his beautiful cousin Roxane (Mala Powers). He confesses that he is in love with her, but harbors no hope of it being returned because of his nose. When he receives a request from Roxane to see her in the morning, he is finally emboldened to act.
Then pastry chef and fellow poet Ragueneau (Lloyd Corrigan) approaches him for help. Ragueneau has learned that a nobleman he had mocked with his verses, the Comte De Guiche (Ralph Clanton), has hired a hundred ruffians to teach him a lesson. Cyrano escorts him, kills eight of the horde, and drives off the rest.
The next day, before he can tell Roxane of his feelings, she informs him that she has fallen in love with a handsome guardsman, Christian de Neuvillette (William Prince), though she has not even spoken to him. Cyrano hides his devastation and agrees to help her.
Cyrano befriends the young man, who is in Cyrano's guards' unit, and discovers that he is infatuated with Roxane, but is too inept with words to woo her. To help him, Cyrano composes Christian's love letters to Roxane, which she finds irresistible. Later, Christian decides he wants no more help and tries to speak to Roxane face to face, but fails miserably and she re-enters her house in an angry huff. Cyrano, hiding in the bushes, comes to his rescue, but this time by imitating Christian's voice and speaking to Roxane from under her balcony. He is so eloquent that he (unintentionally) wins a kiss for Christian from Roxane.
When the arrogant Comte De Guiche, who is also wooing Roxane, pressures her to marry him, Cyrano delays him long enough for her to wed Christian instead. Furious, De Guiche, Christian's commander, orders him to join his unit immediately for a war against the Spanish, preventing the couple from spending their wedding night together.
With Cyrano under his command as well, De Guiche earns the swordsman's respect by his conduct in the war. From the field, Cyrano sends Roxane letters every day, supposedly written by Christian. Roxane visits her husband in camp and tells him that she now has fallen in love with him not merely for his looks but because of his words, and would love him even if he were ugly. Realizing that she really loves Cyrano, Christian gets his rival to agree to tell Roxane the truth and let her decide between them. But before the opportunity arises, Christian volunteers for a dangerous mission and is fatally wounded, silencing Cyrano.
Roxane enters a convent in mourning. Years pass, with Cyrano visiting Roxane weekly, having retired from the military and writing satirical articles mocking the nobility. De Guiche, who has also befriended her and has come to respect Cyrano, has overheard a courtier plotting against Cyrano. De Guiche warns Roxane that Cyrano's life may be in danger. One night, Cyrano is lured into an ambush; the poet is run down by a carriage. Near death, he hides his injuries and goes to keep his appointment with Roxane for the last time. His secret love for Roxane is finally revealed when he recites from memory the last of his love letters, which she has kept, but it is too late. Cyrano first slips into delirium, then dies, leaving Roxane to mourn a second time.

00:02:37,660 --> 00:02:41,460
- Clown! The king of clowns!
Leave the stage at once!
7
00:02:43,970 --> 00:02:44,620
- Who is it?
8
00:02:44,650 --> 00:02:47,570
It's Cyrano.
I was afraid he'd do this.

11
00:02:57,940 --> 00:02:59,260
- Let's be quiet.
- Quiet!
12
00:03:00,190 --> 00:03:01,380

- Donkeys say rather Hee-Haw!
16
00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:17,790
Begone! Or must I come and
help you off the stage myself?
17
00:03:21,130 --> 00:03:24,000
What! Still there?

<i>Where balmy zephyrs

19
00:03:28,250 --> 00:03:32,050
Fat swine, if you dare breathe

20
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,640
I'll fan your cheeks
for you!
21
00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:36,480
Monsieur, won't you all
protect me?
22
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,090
- Proceed, proceed.
- Go on.
23
00:03:38,130 --> 00:03:40,880
Sir, I will not allow you
to insult me in this manner.
24
00:03:40,910 --> 00:03:43,520
Really?
What manner would you prefer?
25
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:44,850
Quiet, down there!

00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,940

00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,790
my sword may
bite their ribbons.
31
00:03:56,830 --> 00:03:58,650
Who is this braggart?
32
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,070
My cousin, sir.
33
00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:04,710
Well, Montfleury,
still no exit?
34
00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:06,930
- Very well then,
I enter
35
00:04:06,970 --> 00:04:11,740
with knife, to carve
this fat, stuffed goose.
36
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:14,800
(ominous music begins)
37
00:04:14,830 --> 00:04:18,080
(crowd clamors)
38
00:04:20,030 --> 00:04:22,170
I pray, do not crowd
my scabbard here.
39
00:04:22,210 --> 00:04:24,320
She may put her
tongue out at you.
40
00:04:24,350 --> 00:04:27,140
(shouted recriminations)
41
00:04:29,870 --> 00:04:30,990
Silence.
42
00:04:31,910 --> 00:04:33,830
I say be silent!
43
00:04:35,450 --> 00:04:38,260
And I offer one universal
challenge to you all:
44
00:04:38,460 --> 00:04:41,410
Will all who wish to die,
please raise their hands.
45
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,360
Approach, young heroes.
I will take your names.
46
00:04:45,140 --> 00:04:47,830
To the first man who falls
I'll build a monument.
47
00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:49,710
Who will head the list?
48
00:04:50,010 --> 00:04:50,780
You, sir?
49
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,000
No.
50
00:04:52,830 --> 00:04:53,610
You?
51
00:04:54,470 --> 00:04:55,170
No, no.
52
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,770
Anyone?
53
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,600
Anyone at all?
54
00:05:01,110 --> 00:05:03,550
Not one...name?
55
00:05:04,260 --> 00:05:06,420
Not one finger?
56
00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:10,260
Very well then,
I go on.
57
00:05:16,130 --> 00:05:18,810
Attend to me, Full Moon.
58
00:05:21,340 --> 00:05:24,190
I clap my hands three times, thus.
59
00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:26,740
(three claps)
60
00:05:26,770 --> 00:05:30,320
At the third, you will...
eclipse yourself.
61
00:05:30,490 --> 00:05:31,390
Ready!
62
00:05:32,110 --> 00:05:32,910
One.
63
00:05:34,010 --> 00:05:34,900
(clap)
64
00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:36,070
How dare you.
65
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:37,210
I demand!
66
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,070
I insist.
67
00:05:38,110 --> 00:05:40,150
- I call upon all the nobles...
- Two!
68
00:05:41,010 --> 00:05:42,080
(clap)
69
00:05:42,110 --> 00:05:43,090
This is an outrage.
70
00:05:43,130 --> 00:05:44,040
You hear, an outrage.
71
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:46,620
Nothing on earth
will move me from this stage.
72
00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:48,800
Three!
73
00:05:49,570 --> 00:05:49,910
(clap)
74
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:55,410
(laughter)
75
00:05:56,260 --> 00:05:59,210
Fair ladies and noble gentlemen...
- Boo!
76
00:05:59,250 --> 00:06:02,560
(laughter)
77
00:06:02,950 --> 00:06:04,210
But, Monsieur de Bergerac,
78
00:06:04,250 --> 00:06:07,490
why have you done this
to our Montfleury, an admirable actor?
79
00:06:07,530 --> 00:06:10,090
I have two reasons,
either one conclusive.
80
00:06:10,670 --> 00:06:12,800
First, he is an
abominable actor,
81
00:06:12,830 --> 00:06:15,870
who mouths his verse
and moans his tragedy.
82
00:06:16,350 --> 00:06:17,630
Second,....
83
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:20,970
Well, that's my secret.
84
00:06:22,530 --> 00:06:25,280
But...
But you've closed the play!
85
00:06:25,310 --> 00:06:26,880
It is not a very good play.
86
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:28,970
Huh!
And of their money?
87
00:06:29,010 --> 00:06:31,080
Possibly you would like
that returned to these good people.
88
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:31,960
Yes?
89
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,360
Yes.
90
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:35,830
Here,...catch!
91
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:37,920
(crowd murmurs)
92
00:06:38,410 --> 00:06:41,960
Well, Monsieur, you are hereby
authorized to close our play every night.
93
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,200
On these terms.
94
00:06:43,230 --> 00:06:43,740
(laughter)
95
00:06:43,780 --> 00:06:46,400
Ladies and gentlemen,
your money will be returned.
96
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,250
Kindly pass out, quietly.
97
00:06:48,290 --> 00:06:50,030
Goodnight, goodnight.
98
00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:53,220
(crowd accepts
in good spirits)
99
00:06:55,740 --> 00:06:57,120
(until...)
100
00:06:59,530 --> 00:07:02,610
Your cousin is an
extraordinary man, Madame.
101
00:07:02,650 --> 00:07:04,080
Oh, I agree.
102
00:07:04,410 --> 00:07:08,550
Soldier, poet, philosopher,
musician, playwright.
103
00:07:08,580 --> 00:07:09,570
All those?
104
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,360
Yes, and the best
swordsman in Paris.
105
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,310
Really?
106
00:07:14,340 --> 00:07:17,060
Now, I should have thought
the Vicomte here had that honor.
107
00:07:17,310 --> 00:07:21,360
Tell me, Madame, that
comic mask, that nose,
108
00:07:21,390 --> 00:07:23,300
presently he will take it off?
109
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:25,950
No, Monsieur, he keeps it.
110
00:07:26,450 --> 00:07:29,350
And heaven help
the man who smiles.
111
00:07:29,850 --> 00:07:31,060
Good night.
112
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,880
Oh, Monsieur!
113
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,980
Monsieur!
114
00:07:40,020 --> 00:07:42,710
Uh, when do you leave Paris?
115
00:07:43,210 --> 00:07:44,100
Sir?
116
00:07:44,250 --> 00:07:46,280
Why, after what you've
just done to Montfleury,
117
00:07:46,310 --> 00:07:48,750
did you not know that
the Compte de Guiche was his patron?
118
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:50,190
Who's yours?
119
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:52,140
No one.
120
00:07:52,170 --> 00:07:52,940
No one?
121
00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:53,870
No patron?
122
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:54,630
I said not.
123
00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:56,900
But the Compte de Guiche
has a long arm.
124
00:07:56,930 --> 00:07:58,900
Mine is longer
by three feet of steel.
125
00:07:59,530 --> 00:08:00,180
Yes, but..
126
00:08:00,860 --> 00:08:02,160
but, what a scare...
127
00:08:02,190 --> 00:08:02,990
You may go now.
128
00:08:03,020 --> 00:08:04,510
- but...
- You may go.
129
00:08:05,810 --> 00:08:08,620
Well, tell me,
why are you staring at my nose?
130
00:08:08,650 --> 00:08:10,160
Oh, I was not staring.
131
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:11,630
Does it astonish you?
132
00:08:11,660 --> 00:08:13,920
Why n...Why no, I've been careful
not to look.
133
00:08:13,950 --> 00:08:15,510
Oh, and why not, if you please?
134
00:08:15,550 --> 00:08:16,730
It disgusts you, then?
135
00:08:16,770 --> 00:08:17,880
But, no, I just...
136
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,700
Does its color appear
to you unwholesome?
137
00:08:19,730 --> 00:08:20,480
By no means.
138
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,310
Then, possibly you find it
just a trifle large?
139
00:08:22,340 --> 00:08:24,500
No, small, very small, tiny!
140
00:08:24,530 --> 00:08:25,640
Infinitesimal!
141
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,960
What?
You accuse me of absurdity?
142
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,730
Small, my nose?
Why magnificent, my nose!
143
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,900
You pug, you knob,
you button head,
144
00:08:34,930 --> 00:08:37,170
know that I glory
in this nose of mine!
145
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,400
For a great nose
indicates a great man,
146
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:45,440
congenial, courteous,
intellectual, virile, courageous.
147
00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:48,050
Whilst that face of yours,
148
00:08:48,370 --> 00:08:54,070
that blank, inglorious concavity
which my right hand finds on top of you,
149
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:59,630
is as devoid of pride, of poetry,
of soul, of picturesqueness,
150
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:04,810
of contour, of character,
of nose, in short,
151
00:09:04,850 --> 00:09:09,740
as that which is at the bottom of
that limp spine of yours my left foot...
- Oh, help!
152
00:09:09,780 --> 00:09:11,550
(laughter)
153
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:13,840
Presently, this fellow
will grow tiresome.
154
00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:16,590
Oh, he blows his horn.
155
00:09:17,330 --> 00:09:19,800
- Well, will no one
put him in his place?
156
00:09:20,270 --> 00:09:22,660
If you would all me.
Observe.
157
00:09:25,090 --> 00:09:31,260
Monsieur, your nose,
your nose is rather large.
158
00:09:34,450 --> 00:09:35,400
Rather?
159
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,350
Oh, well.
160
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:37,620
Is that all?
161
00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:38,540
Well, of course, you...
162
00:09:38,570 --> 00:09:40,400
Ah, no young sir, you're too simple.
163
00:09:40,430 --> 00:09:42,620
Why, you might have
said a great many things.
164
00:09:42,650 --> 00:09:44,800
Why waste your opportunity?
165
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:45,860
For example, thus...
166
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:47,450
Aggressive---
167
00:09:47,490 --> 00:09:51,040
I, sir, if that great nose were mine,
I would have it amputated on the spot.
168
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:52,710
Practical---
169
00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:56,570
How do you drink with such a nose.
You must have had a cup made especially.
170
00:09:56,850 --> 00:09:57,880
Descriptive---
171
00:09:57,910 --> 00:10:00,570
'Tis a rock, a crag, a cape.
172
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,510
A cape, say rather, a peninsula.
173
00:10:05,890 --> 00:10:06,990
Inquisitive---
174
00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:11,400
Uh, what is that receptacle,
a razor case or a portfolio?
175
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,680
Kindly---
176
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,840
Ah, do you love the little birds so much
that when they come and sing to you,
177
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,690
you give them this to perch on?
178
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,570
Cautious---
179
00:10:20,610 --> 00:10:24,120
Take care. A weight like that
might make you top-heavy.
180
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,250
Eloquent---
181
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,510
When it blows the typhoon howls
and the clouds darken.
182
00:10:29,580 --> 00:10:30,400
Dramatic---
183
00:10:30,430 --> 00:10:34,690
When it bleeds...the Red Sea.
184
00:10:35,540 --> 00:10:36,530
Simple---
185
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:39,640
Eh, when do they
unveil the monument?
186
00:10:40,020 --> 00:10:40,900
Military---
187
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:43,510
Beware, a secret weapon!
188
00:10:44,290 --> 00:10:45,620
Enterprising---
189
00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:48,080
What a sigh for some perfumer!
190
00:10:48,490 --> 00:10:49,300
Respectful---
191
00:10:49,330 --> 00:10:52,050
Uh sir, I recognize in you
a man of parts,
192
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,740
a man of...prominence.
193
00:10:54,770 --> 00:10:56,500
Or, Literary---
194
00:10:56,530 --> 00:10:59,360
Was this the nose
that launched a thousand ships?
195
00:11:00,010 --> 00:11:02,850
These, my dear sir, are things
you might have said had you
196
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,690
some tinge of letters or of wit
to color your discourse.
197
00:11:05,810 --> 00:11:07,970
Bit wit not so.
You never had an atom.
198
00:11:08,270 --> 00:11:14,480
And of letters, you need
but three to write you down, a..s..s.
199
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:16,530
Ass.
200
00:11:16,570 --> 00:11:18,040
- (laughter)
- You, sir!
201
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,600
Dolt! Bumpkin! Fool!
202
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:26,620
How do you do, and I,
Cyrano Savinien Hercule de Bergerac.
203
00:11:26,650 --> 00:11:28,050
Vicomte, come.
204
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,650
Such arrogance.
This scarecrow who...
205
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:31,850
Look at him!
206
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,120
No ribbons. No lace.
Not even gloves!
207
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,700
True. I carry my adornments
only on my soul.
208
00:11:39,740 --> 00:11:41,860
Decked with deeds
instead of ribbons.
209
00:11:41,890 --> 00:11:43,420
Mantled in my good name,
210
00:11:43,460 --> 00:11:45,350
and crowned with a
white plume of freedom.
211
00:11:45,380 --> 00:11:46,130
But..
212
00:11:46,170 --> 00:11:47,510
But, I have no gloves.
213
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:48,630
A pity, too.
214
00:11:48,670 --> 00:11:51,630
I had one, the last one of an old pair,
and lost that.
215
00:11:51,660 --> 00:11:53,250
Very careless of me.
216
00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:55,750
Some gentleman offered me
an impertinence.
217
00:11:55,790 --> 00:11:59,840
I left it in his face.
218
00:11:59,870 --> 00:12:00,840
So be it!
219
00:12:02,110 --> 00:12:05,050
You shall die exquisitely
220
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,160
Oh, a poet.
221
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,640
Oh, yes, a poet if you will.
222
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:11,510
So, uh, while we fight,
I'll improvise a ballad for you,
223
00:12:11,540 --> 00:12:15,270
and as I end the refrain,
...skhrch!...thrust home.
224
00:12:15,310 --> 00:12:16,280
Will you?
225
00:12:17,180 --> 00:12:18,130
I will.
226
00:12:21,820 --> 00:12:23,420
(excited crowd)
227
00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:26,890
Ballad au Duel
at the Theatre de Burgoyne
228
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,320
between de Bergerac,
and uh.....a barbarian.
229
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,240
What do you mean by that?
230
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,000
Oh, that?
231
00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:34,960
The title.
232
00:12:34,990 --> 00:12:36,570
(laughter)
233
00:12:36,610 --> 00:12:38,200
Stop. Let me choose my rhyme.
234
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:47,640
So. Here we go.
235
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:50,070
Lightly I toss my hat away.
236
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:55,440
Languidly o'er my arm let fall
the cloak that covers my bright array.
237
00:12:55,510 --> 00:13:00,770
Then, out swords,
and to work withal.
238
00:13:02,660 --> 00:13:05,720
A Lancelot in his lady's hall,
239
00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:10,580
A Spartacus at the Hippodrome,
240
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,340
I dally a while with you..
241
00:13:13,380 --> 00:13:14,750
you jackall.
242
00:13:32,810 --> 00:13:34,360
Just as I end the refrain,
243
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,380
thrust home!
244
00:13:51,290 --> 00:13:54,220
Where shall I skewer my peacock again?
245
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,160
Nay, better for you
to have shunned this brawl.
246
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,010
Here in the heart
or your ribbons, gay,
247
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,610
in the belly
'neath you silken shawl?
248
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,130
Now, come my points floats,
light as the foam
249
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,640
ready to drive you
back to the wall,
250
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:20,030
and then as I end the refrain,
251
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,440
thrust home.
252
00:14:21,930 --> 00:14:23,210
Oh, for a rhyme.
253
00:14:23,580 --> 00:14:25,060
Why, your fight is fading.
254
00:14:25,420 --> 00:14:26,040
You break.
255
00:14:26,350 --> 00:14:26,970
You cower.
256
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:27,600
You cringe.
257
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:28,200
You crawl.
258
00:14:29,310 --> 00:14:30,740
How can I tell
you're allowed to say
259
00:14:30,780 --> 00:14:31,750
something to turn on my head
260
00:14:31,790 --> 00:14:32,720
forestall.....
261
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:33,660
Life with a tunny
262
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:34,970
death with a scall.
263
00:14:35,010 --> 00:14:36,760
Something to turn on my fancy roam,
264
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,670
free for a time till the rhyme's recall,
265
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,620
then as I end the refrain,
266
00:14:40,650 --> 00:14:41,620
thrust home!
267
00:14:43,810 --> 00:14:44,670
Refrain.
268
00:14:45,550 --> 00:14:48,960
Prince,
pray God that is Lord of all,
269
00:14:48,990 --> 00:14:50,840
pardon you soul,
270
00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:54,190
for your time has come.
271
00:14:56,860 --> 00:14:58,820
Pass! I fling you aslant, asprawl.
272
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:00,590
Then as I end the refrain,
273
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,680
thrust home!
274
00:15:41,820 --> 00:15:45,390
(shouts of hurray
and congratulation)
275
00:15:47,130 --> 00:15:49,470
Ladies and gentlemen,
please, please,
276
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:50,790
not until the performance is over.
277
00:15:51,070 --> 00:15:51,980
Close the house.
278
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:52,820
A strike,
279
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,340
but leave the lights.
280
00:15:54,380 --> 00:15:56,070
We rehearse the new
farce tonight.
281
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,240
Wait.
282
00:16:04,110 --> 00:16:05,570
You have only to watch a fight,
283
00:16:05,610 --> 00:16:07,530
or have you ruined
if you listen to them.
284
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:11,570
Think of the enemies you've made,
285
00:16:11,610 --> 00:16:14,050
Montfleury, the Vicomte,
if he lives,
286
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,380
all those foppish marquis,
the Comte de Guiche.
287
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:18,970
That politician.
288
00:16:19,010 --> 00:16:21,910
He's the Cardinal's nephew.
There's power there!
289
00:16:21,950 --> 00:16:23,330
And power here.
290
00:16:23,370 --> 00:16:24,680
Young fool!
291
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,540
Take an example from me.
292
00:16:26,570 --> 00:16:29,810
20 years a captain,
while others who know only
293
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,750
how to deploy their
forces at court
294
00:16:31,780 --> 00:16:33,890
now dangle a marshal's baton.
295
00:16:33,930 --> 00:16:37,360
Well, uh, someday
I will avenge you, too.
296
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,530
Impossible.
Come on, let's go to dinner.
297
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,830
Dinner?
No, not I.
298
00:16:41,860 --> 00:16:42,540
Why not?
299
00:16:42,580 --> 00:16:44,530
Because I have no money.
300
00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:46,150
But, the purse of gold.
301
00:16:46,180 --> 00:16:48,140
Farewell paternal pension.
302
00:16:48,180 --> 00:16:51,430
And you have
until the first of next month?
303
00:16:51,470 --> 00:16:52,310
Nothing.
304
00:16:53,140 --> 00:16:54,460
What a fool.
305
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:56,770
Yes, but, what a moment.
306
00:16:56,810 --> 00:16:57,670
- Pardon, Monsieur.
307
00:17:00,010 --> 00:17:01,770
A man ought
never to go hungry.
308
00:17:02,690 --> 00:17:04,150
I have everything here.
309
00:17:05,490 --> 00:17:06,360
Please.
310
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,080
My dear child, I cannot bend this Gascon
pride of mine to accept such a kindness.
311
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:11,820
But, I...
312
00:17:12,910 --> 00:17:15,810
Yet, for fear that
I may give you pain if I refuse,
313
00:17:16,550 --> 00:17:18,190
I will take something.
314
00:17:19,630 --> 00:17:20,660
A grape.
315
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:25,160
One only.
316
00:17:25,820 --> 00:17:27,170
And a glass of water.
317
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,650
No, clear.
318
00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:35,750
And, uh,...half a macaroon.
319
00:17:37,010 --> 00:17:38,100
Nothing more?
320
00:17:39,060 --> 00:17:39,920
Why, yes.
321
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,230
Your hand to kiss.
322
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,510
Thank you, sir.
323
00:18:02,090 --> 00:18:03,100
Good night.
324
00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:10,290
Idiot.
325
00:18:13,170 --> 00:18:13,890
Dinner.
326
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,160
Drink.
327
00:18:18,830 --> 00:18:19,720
Desert.
328
00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:24,670
Mon Dieux, I was hungry,
abominably.
329
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:26,320
Tell me.
330
00:18:26,590 --> 00:18:27,440
Anything.
331
00:18:27,790 --> 00:18:29,920
Why to you hate
this Montfleury?
332
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:32,860
A very bad actor.
333
00:18:32,890 --> 00:18:34,860
Ah, come now, the real
reason, the truth.
334
00:18:36,610 --> 00:18:39,600
That fat goat who cannot hold
his belly in his arms,
335
00:18:39,630 --> 00:18:42,590
still dreams of being
sweetly dangerous among the women.
336
00:18:43,230 --> 00:18:47,610
Sighs and languishes, making sheep's
eyes out of his great frog's face.
337
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:52,750
I hate him ever since one day
he dared smile upon....
338
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,220
Oh, my friend, I seemed to see over
some flower a great snail crawling.
339
00:19:00,090 --> 00:19:01,180
Eh, what?
340
00:19:02,170 --> 00:19:03,340
Is it possible?
341
00:19:04,890 --> 00:19:06,180
For me to love?
342
00:19:08,770 --> 00:19:09,660
I love.
343
00:19:10,370 --> 00:19:12,570
Whom?
May I know?
344
00:19:12,610 --> 00:19:13,620
Whom I love?
345
00:19:15,070 --> 00:19:16,000
Think a moment.
346
00:19:16,210 --> 00:19:17,280
Think of me.
347
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,670
Me, whom the plainest
woman would despise.
348
00:19:21,030 --> 00:19:25,010
Me, with this nose of mine that
marches on before me by a quarter of an hour.
349
00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:28,000
Whom shall I love.
350
00:19:29,890 --> 00:19:34,930
Why, of course, it must be the
woman in the world most beautiful.
351
00:19:35,780 --> 00:19:37,170
Most beautiful?
352
00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:42,920
In these eyes of mine....
beyond compare.
353
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:44,070
Wait.
354
00:19:44,510 --> 00:19:46,440
Your cousin, Roxane.
355
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,300
Yes.
356
00:19:50,170 --> 00:19:51,080
Roxane.
357
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,810
Well?
358
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,020
Why not?
If you love her, tell her so.
359
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,170
My old friend.
360
00:20:01,150 --> 00:20:03,550
Look at me and tell me how
much hope remains for me
361
00:20:03,580 --> 00:20:04,970
with this protuberance.
362
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,360
Ahhh, I have no more illusions.
363
00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:12,140
Now and then I may grow tender
walking alone in the blue of evening
364
00:20:12,170 --> 00:20:16,130
through some garden fresh with flowers
after the benediction of the rain.
365
00:20:16,980 --> 00:20:20,930
My poor big devil of a nose
inhales April.
366
00:20:21,460 --> 00:20:26,950
And I follow with my eyes where
some boy with a girl upon his arm,
367
00:20:27,510 --> 00:20:32,130
passes a patch of silver...
and I feel somehow....
368
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,490
I wish I had a woman, too,
369
00:20:36,670 --> 00:20:41,660
walking with me under the moon,
and holding my arm and smiling.
370
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:44,240
Then I dream.
371
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:46,140
I forget.
372
00:20:49,510 --> 00:20:53,210
And then I see the shadow
of my profile on the wall.
373
00:20:54,750 --> 00:20:56,050
My friend.
374
00:20:57,180 --> 00:20:58,230
My friend.
375
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,370
I have my bitter days,
knowing myself so ugly, so alone.
376
00:21:03,410 --> 00:21:05,260
Ah, but your wit, your courage,
377
00:21:05,540 --> 00:21:08,170
why that poor child who just
now offered you your dinner,
378
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,710
your saw it, her eyes
did not avoid you.
379
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,920
That is true.
380
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,930
Well, then, Roxane herself,
watching your duel, pale.
381
00:21:18,970 --> 00:21:19,480
Pale?
382
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,670
Yes, her lips parted.
Her hand at her breast, thus.
383
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,020
I saw it.
384
00:21:24,260 --> 00:21:27,260
Speak to her. Speak, man.
385
00:21:35,890 --> 00:21:37,550
She might laugh at me.
386
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:42,480
It is the one thing
in this world I fear.
387
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,490
Pardon, Monsieur,
a lady outside asking for you.
388
00:21:48,410 --> 00:21:49,750
Monsieur.
389
00:21:50,340 --> 00:21:51,270
A Duenna.
390
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,530
I have a message for you
from a...a certain lady.
391
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,760
She desires to know when
and where she may see you privately.
392
00:21:57,810 --> 00:22:00,070
She has certain
things to tell you.
393
00:22:00,690 --> 00:22:01,850
Certain...
394
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,010
Things!
395
00:22:04,230 --> 00:22:05,720
She wishes to see me?
396
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,410
We go tomorrow at dawn
to hear mass at St. Rupe
397
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,070
And afterwards, where
would you suggest?
398
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:12,630
Well, then, I...
399
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:15,300
- Where?
- Well?
400
00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:17,070
Ah....I am thinking.
401
00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:18,080
And you think?
402
00:22:19,770 --> 00:22:20,590
Where?
403
00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:22,060
The shop at Ragueneau's.
404
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:24,580
Yes, yes, Ragueneau,
the pastry cook.
405
00:22:24,620 --> 00:22:25,400
Who dwells?
406
00:22:26,650 --> 00:22:27,590
Rue Saint Honore.
407
00:22:27,630 --> 00:22:28,690
Eh...Rue Saint Honore.
408
00:22:28,730 --> 00:22:33,530
We are agreed. At 7 o'clock.
Until then. Adieu.
409
00:22:38,790 --> 00:22:39,940
I'll be there.
410
00:22:41,620 --> 00:22:44,110
Me! To see me!
411
00:22:44,260 --> 00:22:45,830
Ah, not quite so gloomy.
412
00:22:45,870 --> 00:22:47,580
After all, she knows
that I exist.
413
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,060
Imagine, she has
asked to see me!
414
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:52,240
So, now you're
going to be happy?
415
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,350
Happy.
I'm going to be a storm.
A flame!
416
00:22:55,390 --> 00:22:58,430
I need to fight whole
armies all alone!
417
00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,840
I have ten hearts!
418
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,280
I have a hundred arms!.
419
00:23:01,310 --> 00:23:04,450
I feel too strong
to war with mortals!
420
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,150
BRING ME GIANTS!
421
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:11,240
Quiet, please, shhh.
We are rehearsing back here.
422
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,600
So sorry.
Ha, ha, ha.
423
00:23:21,490 --> 00:23:22,280
Cyrano.
424
00:23:22,830 --> 00:23:23,630
Cyrano.
425
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,590
Ragueneau.
426
00:23:26,150 --> 00:23:27,910
Oh, thank goodness
you're still here.
427
00:23:27,950 --> 00:23:29,180
Well, what's the matter.
428
00:23:29,210 --> 00:23:30,410
I'm afraid to go home.
429
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,040
Why?
430
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,050
You know those
comic verses I wrote?
431
00:23:33,090 --> 00:23:34,830
About the congregation.
432
00:23:34,860 --> 00:23:37,260
Cyrano, he's hired ruffians.
Bullies.
433
00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:39,740
A hundred, waiting for
me on the way home.
434
00:23:39,780 --> 00:23:41,620
They're gonna beat me.
Cane me!
435
00:23:41,650 --> 00:23:44,450
Please, would you permit me
to spend the night with you?
436
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,420
A hundred men,
is that all?
437
00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:49,610
Ragueneau, you're
going home tonight.
438
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,630
But they're armed.
They're cutthroats!
439
00:23:51,690 --> 00:23:53,620
Take this lantern.
Forward march.
440
00:23:53,660 --> 00:23:55,760
I say that I'll be the man
to see you to your shop.
441
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,150
Not you, I want no help from you.
442
00:23:57,190 --> 00:23:58,510
For even for a hundred,
you're mad.
443
00:23:58,550 --> 00:23:59,730
Those are the odds I want.
444
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,420
Why for this pastry cook?
445
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,820
First, because this
pastry cook is a friend of mine.
446
00:24:04,930 --> 00:24:07,820
Second, because this
pastry cook is also a poet.
447
00:24:07,950 --> 00:24:09,360
And, most important,
448
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:12,000
if anything should
happen to this pastry cook,
449
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:16,870
tomorrow morning at seven
his shop will be closed.
450
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:19,590
Goodnight.
451
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,060
(a whistle signal)
452
00:25:37,430 --> 00:25:38,480
Cyrano. Help!
453
00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:43,580
Look out behind you!
454
00:26:22,750 --> 00:26:23,810
I have been robbed.
455
00:26:24,370 --> 00:26:26,070
- There are no hundred here.
456
00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:32,360
It's, it's, it's...
457
00:26:33,820 --> 00:26:35,230
Be quick. Inside.
458
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,550
Bolt the door!
459
00:26:48,510 --> 00:26:49,310
Ah!
460
00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:08,660
Yah!
461
00:27:10,460 --> 00:27:12,210
(ruffians shouting)
462
00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:01,010
Ah!
463
00:28:03,860 --> 00:28:04,560
Awk.
464
00:28:05,860 --> 00:28:08,030
(ruffians shouting)
465
00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:17,280
(Le Bret)
- Cyrano!
466
00:28:17,310 --> 00:28:18,320
- Hold!
467
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:34,330
Ah.
468
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,420
How do you feel?
469
00:28:37,460 --> 00:28:39,540
Oh, pleasantly exhilarated.
470
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:42,990
- Come, I know a little tavern not far...
- Where's Ragueneau?
471
00:28:43,310 --> 00:28:46,320
Ragueneau?
Ragueneau!
472
00:28:46,730 --> 00:28:49,510
Little boy, come out.
All's well!
473
00:28:50,330 --> 00:28:51,990
- Is it over?
- All over.
474
00:28:52,220 --> 00:28:53,020
Really?
475
00:28:54,500 --> 00:28:55,340
So soon?
476
00:28:55,370 --> 00:28:56,140
Ha, ha, ha.
477
00:28:56,170 --> 00:28:59,480
Oh, if only I'd had my sword.
How many did we kill?
478
00:28:59,510 --> 00:29:00,330
Oh, about eight.
479
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:00,960
Eight.
480
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,410
Eight!
481
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,420
Ohhhh.
482
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,910
This.....gentleman
begins to annoy me.
483
00:29:31,980 --> 00:29:33,630
(Ragueneau is a poet, too.)
484
00:29:35,060 --> 00:29:40,010
No. The sauce and meat must rhyme.
Add a pinch of marigold and thyme.
485
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,960
Your house, of course, needs a stronger roof.
Eh? There's proof.
486
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:45,830
Cyrano.
487
00:29:46,830 --> 00:29:47,500
Cyrano.
488
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,100
Come in and eat.
489
00:29:49,130 --> 00:29:51,110
- What time is it?
- Not quite seven.
490
00:29:51,130 --> 00:29:54,140
Oh, now, please, Cyrano.
A man without breakfast is like...
491
00:29:54,180 --> 00:29:56,720
No.
Could she have changed her mind?
492
00:29:56,750 --> 00:29:57,920
Aw, she wouldn't dare.
493
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,900
We were magnificent last night.
494
00:30:00,370 --> 00:30:01,830
And at the theater, too.
495
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,320
'Then, as I end the refrain'....
496
00:30:04,350 --> 00:30:07,390
When she arrives.
Where can we converse undisturbed?
497
00:30:07,420 --> 00:30:09,190
Wherever you like.
My shop is yours.
498
00:30:09,310 --> 00:30:11,900
The little dining room
is quite romantic.
499
00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:14,490
'Thrust home!'
Yea gods, what a line.
500
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,650
- 'Then as I end the re....'
- Vanish.
501
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:18,110
- Uh, huh, she's come?
- Shhhh.
502
00:30:18,140 --> 00:30:18,920
I swear.
503
00:30:27,340 --> 00:30:28,170
Welcome.
504
00:30:38,470 --> 00:30:40,510
- A pardon, one word.
- Oh, yes?
505
00:30:40,550 --> 00:30:41,520
Have you a good digestion?
506
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,430
Oh, wonderful.
507
00:30:43,290 --> 00:30:48,800
Eh, here are some éclairs.
Uh, creampuffs.
508
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,160
Some, uh, jellyrolls.
And do you like nature?
509
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,400
I adore it.
510
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,760
Go out and eat these in the sunshine.
Do not return.
511
00:30:56,790 --> 00:30:57,440
But why?
512
00:30:57,470 --> 00:30:58,910
Until you have finished them.
513
00:30:58,940 --> 00:31:00,340
(outside)
- What do I do then?
514
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,750
(door closes)
515
00:31:09,970 --> 00:31:13,000
Blessed above all others be the hour
when you remember to remember me,
516
00:31:13,230 --> 00:31:15,800
and came to tell me......what?
517
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,750
To tell you that....
518
00:31:19,060 --> 00:31:21,810
Before I dare tell you I....
519
00:31:22,020 --> 00:31:24,850
Are you, I wonder, still
the same big brother almost
520
00:31:24,890 --> 00:31:26,720
that you used to be
when we were children,
521
00:31:26,750 --> 00:31:29,570
playing by the pond
in the old garden down there?
522
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,570
At Bergerac.
Those lovely summers.
523
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,700
You use to make swords
out of bulrushes.
524
00:31:33,740 --> 00:31:35,810
And you, dandelions
also golden hair.
525
00:31:35,890 --> 00:31:37,930
In those days
I could tell you everything.
526
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,860
And you did
everything I wished.
527
00:31:40,060 --> 00:31:44,830
Little Roxane, a sweet tyrone
with short skirts and long hair.
528
00:31:44,860 --> 00:31:45,780
Was I pretty?
529
00:31:49,830 --> 00:31:51,270
Not too plain.
530
00:31:52,150 --> 00:31:54,490
Sometimes when you had fallen
or hurt your hand,
531
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,670
you used to come running to me,
and I would be your mother and say,
532
00:31:57,710 --> 00:32:02,770
oh, with a very grownup voice,
'Now, what have you been doing to yourself?'
533
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,300
'Let me see.'
534
00:32:05,890 --> 00:32:07,060
- Oh!
- No one that.
535
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:08,230
Wait, let me see.
536
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,540
Still. At your age?
537
00:32:12,010 --> 00:32:13,810
Now, how did you do that?
538
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,910
Playing with the big boys
at the Place de Neanne.
539
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:18,410
Come here.
540
00:32:19,330 --> 00:32:21,020
Such a wise little mother.
541
00:32:21,030 --> 00:32:24,740
And tell me, while I wash this
blood away, how many you played with?
542
00:32:24,770 --> 00:32:26,840
- Oh, about a hundred.
- A hundred?
543
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,950
- More or less.
- It can't be.
544
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:31,080
No.
545
00:32:31,670 --> 00:32:33,720
Tell me what you were
going to tell me.....
546
00:32:34,130 --> 00:32:35,320
if you dared.
547
00:32:36,190 --> 00:32:38,060
I think I do dare, now.
548
00:32:38,860 --> 00:32:41,450
It seems so like
those happy days long ago.
549
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,780
Yes, I dare.
550
00:32:44,350 --> 00:32:47,190
Listen....I love someone.
551
00:32:47,850 --> 00:32:48,440
Yes?
552
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,150
Someone who does not know.
553
00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:51,340
Yes?
554
00:32:51,450 --> 00:32:54,970
Someone who loves me, too,
but is afraid of me and keeps away
555
00:32:55,010 --> 00:32:56,340
and never says one word.
556
00:32:57,570 --> 00:32:58,270
(softly)
Yes.
557
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,210
Give my that hand.
558
00:33:01,870 --> 00:33:03,080
Why, how hot it is.
559
00:33:04,390 --> 00:33:06,390
Yes, he loves me.
I am sure of it.
560
00:33:06,740 --> 00:33:07,530
(softly)
Yes.
561
00:33:08,110 --> 00:33:10,730
And he is a soldier, too,
in your own regiment,
562
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,710
your own company.
563
00:33:11,740 --> 00:33:12,750
(loud)
Yes.
564
00:33:13,340 --> 00:33:14,480
Such a man.
565
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,280
He is proud, noble, young, brave,
566
00:33:18,610 --> 00:33:19,700
beautiful!
567
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:22,550
(softly)
Beautiful.
568
00:33:25,180 --> 00:33:26,040
What's the matter?
569
00:33:26,460 --> 00:33:27,160
Oh, nothing.
570
00:33:28,110 --> 00:33:30,210
It's this, my hand.
571
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,280
I love him.
That is all.
572
00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:38,230
And I have never seen him
anywhere except in the theater.
573
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,710
You have never spoken?
574
00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:42,790
Only with our hearts.
575
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,080
Well, then, how do you know?
576
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:50,270
Well, people talk about people,
and I hear things, and...
577
00:33:51,370 --> 00:33:52,700
and I know.
578
00:33:53,890 --> 00:33:55,540
(firmly)
You say he is in the guards?
579
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,530
His name?
580
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,270
Baron Christian de Neuvillette.
581
00:34:02,790 --> 00:34:03,910
You know him?
582
00:34:04,290 --> 00:34:05,650
He is not in the guards.
583
00:34:05,690 --> 00:34:07,020
Yes, since last week.
584
00:34:07,770 --> 00:34:09,550
He is only lately
come to Paris...
585
00:34:09,730 --> 00:34:11,140
from Normandy.
586
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,070
So soon.
So soon we lose our hearts.
587
00:34:15,570 --> 00:34:16,160
What...
(door opens)
588
00:34:16,190 --> 00:34:17,220
(Duenna)
- Monsieur de Bergerac
589
00:34:17,250 --> 00:34:18,850
- I have eaten all the cakes.
590
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,280
Good.
Now, go out and enjoy nature.
591
00:34:23,020 --> 00:34:26,110
But my dear child, you love
only words, wit, poetry.
592
00:34:26,150 --> 00:34:29,950
Why, for all you know,
the man may be a savage or a fool.
593
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:34,290
Not with such eyes.
I read his soul in them.
594
00:34:35,270 --> 00:34:38,360
Yes, all our souls are
written in our eyes.
595
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,720
And you have brought
me here to tell me this?
596
00:34:42,980 --> 00:34:45,890
I do not yet quite understand,
madam, the reason for your confidence.
597
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:52,640
They say, that in your company,
it frightens me, you are all Gascon.
598
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,850
We pick a quarrel with any outsider
who intrudes himself.
599
00:34:54,890 --> 00:34:56,250
Is that what you have heard?
600
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,150
- I'm so afraid for him.
- Not without reason.
601
00:34:59,190 --> 00:35:03,730
And I thought you...
it's you whom they all respect and fear.
602
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,590
You want me to defend
your little Baron?
603
00:35:08,630 --> 00:35:09,740
Will you?
604
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:11,670
Just for me.
605
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,440
Because I have always
been your friend.
606
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,790
And this is what
you want of me?
607
00:35:16,820 --> 00:35:18,430
Will you be his friend?
608
00:35:20,450 --> 00:35:22,200
I will be his friend.
609
00:35:22,230 --> 00:35:23,040
And never let him
fight a duel.
610
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,060
No, never.
611
00:35:24,090 --> 00:35:24,750
Promise?
612
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:26,980
I promise.
613
00:35:27,420 --> 00:35:30,860
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
I knew I could rely on you.
614
00:35:33,930 --> 00:35:35,410
Well, now I must go.
615
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,480
Oh, you never told
me about last night.
616
00:35:43,970 --> 00:35:45,790
Why, you must
have been a hero.
617
00:35:45,820 --> 00:35:50,240
Have write and tell me all about it,
and...about himself.
618
00:35:51,420 --> 00:35:54,330
Oh, you are a darling.
We are great friends, are we not?
619
00:35:54,860 --> 00:35:56,330
He must write to me.
620
00:35:58,390 --> 00:36:01,490
A hundred men against one.
You shall tell me the whole story
621
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:02,980
someday when we have time.
622
00:36:06,570 --> 00:36:10,170
A hundred men.
What courage!
623
00:36:14,030 --> 00:36:16,810
I have done better.
624
00:36:21,820 --> 00:36:22,450
Well?
625
00:36:24,890 --> 00:36:26,050
Let us leave this place.
626
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,620
But the whole company
is on its way here.
627
00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:28,330
Oh, no.
628
00:36:28,370 --> 00:36:30,870
On my heels. Naturally I told
them all about last night.
629
00:36:30,900 --> 00:36:31,880
They're wild.
630
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:32,830
Here they are.
631
00:36:32,860 --> 00:36:35,420
- Yes, but, why did you?
- Perhaps I can stop them.
632
00:36:36,210 --> 00:36:36,870
Never mind.
633
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,220
Cyrano!
634
00:36:39,260 --> 00:36:46,070
(greetings and cheers to Cyrano)
635
00:36:49,130 --> 00:36:51,570
Eight dead men in the street.
Scandalous.
636
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,010
You know my edict
against dueling, nephew.
637
00:36:54,050 --> 00:36:55,580
I expect to have it enforced.
638
00:36:55,610 --> 00:36:58,940
Furthermore, I wish to know
who was responsible for last night's
639
00:36:58,970 --> 00:37:00,410
outrage at the Place de Neanne.
640
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:01,840
I understand, Your Eminence.
641
00:37:02,050 --> 00:37:04,180
Very well.
And now I have news
642
00:37:04,210 --> 00:37:06,310
that should be more
to you liking.
643
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:13,410
I fear, in confidence, our
uneasy armistice with Spain is doomed.
644
00:37:13,450 --> 00:37:14,410
My colonelcy?
645
00:37:14,450 --> 00:37:16,670
You commission has been prepared.
646
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:18,890
Oh, thank you, uncle, thank you.
647
00:37:19,230 --> 00:37:20,630
Oh, one thing more.
648
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,600
Last night at the theater,
the duel in rhyme,
649
00:37:24,790 --> 00:37:26,970
that guardsman with a nose.
650
00:37:27,010 --> 00:37:30,240
- Bergerac, that impossible Gascon.
- Yes, impossible.
651
00:37:30,260 --> 00:37:32,300
- His treatment of Montfleury.
- Abominable.
652
00:37:32,330 --> 00:37:35,230
- The arrogance with which he closed the play.
- Incredible.
653
00:37:35,260 --> 00:37:38,130
- It will be a miracle if the Vicomte survives.
- A sorrow.
654
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,720
What will you do
with him, Your Eminence?
655
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,100
I? Nothing.
656
00:37:41,140 --> 00:37:43,290
I thought I might
leave that to you.
657
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,500
To me?
658
00:37:44,530 --> 00:37:48,270
Yes. Place him somewhere
in your service,
659
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:49,890
with a comfortable allowance.
660
00:37:49,930 --> 00:37:51,390
He looked a little threadbare.
661
00:37:51,430 --> 00:37:55,020
I...You...But, Your Eminence.
You detest dueling.
662
00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:55,960
Of course I do.
663
00:37:56,350 --> 00:37:58,070
Why didn't you prevent it?
664
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,350
I should much prefer
that monsieur de Beregrac
665
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,300
live by the pen,
rather than die by the sword.
666
00:38:06,590 --> 00:38:08,470
Do you not agree, Antoine?
667
00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:12,560
By all means, Your Eminence.
By all means.
668
00:38:14,830 --> 00:38:21,650
'And then, as I end the refrain...
thrust home.'
669
00:38:24,790 --> 00:38:28,740
(Carousing at Ragueneau's)
670
00:38:33,220 --> 00:38:39,860
(noisy celebration of Cyrano's
defeat of 'a hundred' ruffians)
671
00:38:44,210 --> 00:38:46,580
(Antoine Comte de Guiche enters)
672
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:48,620
Monsieur de Bergerac.
673
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,390
Your Excellency.
674
00:38:51,970 --> 00:38:54,750
I have come to express my....
675
00:38:54,790 --> 00:38:58,550
admiration for both
your exploits last night.
676
00:38:58,590 --> 00:39:01,290
Indeed. Thank you.
677
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,900
My dear fellow,
we may have had our differences,
678
00:39:04,930 --> 00:39:07,550
but I am disposed
to forget them.
679
00:39:07,570 --> 00:39:09,710
That is very generous
of you, sir.
680
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:10,560
No, truly.
681
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,970
You are, it seems, a man
of many skills.
682
00:39:14,010 --> 00:39:17,350
A rare combination
soldier and poet.
683
00:39:18,060 --> 00:39:21,750
- Would you care to join my following?
- No, sir.
684
00:39:21,790 --> 00:39:23,260
I do not follow.
685
00:39:23,770 --> 00:39:25,980
I am told you have
written a play.
686
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,510
As you know, my uncle,
the Cardinal, is also a dramatist.
687
00:39:29,540 --> 00:39:30,990
I might help you there.
688
00:39:31,150 --> 00:39:34,050
Cyrano, now at last
you can have it performed.
689
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,200
Why not?
690
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:36,620
I could take it to him.
691
00:39:37,860 --> 00:39:39,330
Really?
692
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,460
Of course.
Let him rewrite a few lines
693
00:39:41,490 --> 00:39:43,770
here and there, and
he'll find a theater for you.
694
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,230
Rewrite...my lines?
695
00:39:47,670 --> 00:39:49,150
Impossible.
696
00:39:49,190 --> 00:39:52,040
Uh, when he likes a thing,
he pays well.
697
00:39:52,070 --> 00:39:53,240
Yes, but not so well as I.
698
00:39:53,270 --> 00:39:55,460
When I have made a line
that sings itself
699
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:57,220
I pay myself a hundred times.
700
00:39:57,250 --> 00:39:58,940
You are proud, my friend.
701
00:39:58,970 --> 00:40:00,020
You have observed that?
702
00:40:00,060 --> 00:40:02,460
- Cyrano.
See what we found in the street.
703
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:05,140
Plumes dropped in their flight
by those fine birds
704
00:40:05,170 --> 00:40:06,860
who showed their
tail feathers!
705
00:40:06,890 --> 00:40:08,590
(laughter)
706
00:40:08,620 --> 00:40:10,180
The man who hired
those scoundrels,
707
00:40:10,210 --> 00:40:12,010
he must be an
angry man today.
708
00:40:12,050 --> 00:40:13,430
Who was it?
Do you know?
709
00:40:13,850 --> 00:40:14,790
It was I.
710
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,870
I hired them to do the sort
of work we do not soil our hands with.
711
00:40:20,660 --> 00:40:22,940
Punishing an insolent poet.
712
00:40:22,970 --> 00:40:25,610
They ought to be mounted
before they spoil.
713
00:40:25,650 --> 00:40:27,850
(laughter)
What shall we do with them?
714
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:36,460
Sir, will you not return these
to your friends?
715
00:40:40,310 --> 00:40:42,190
Have you read Don Quixote?
716
00:40:42,230 --> 00:40:44,650
I have and found
myself the hero.
717
00:40:44,690 --> 00:40:47,770
Be so good as to read once more
the capture of the windmills.
718
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,010
Chapter 13.
719
00:40:50,150 --> 00:40:52,200
Windmills, remember,
if you fight with them...
720
00:40:52,230 --> 00:40:56,590
may swing round their huge arms
and cast you down into the mire.
721
00:40:56,630 --> 00:40:59,010
Or up among the stars.
722
00:41:01,250 --> 00:41:01,970
Gentlemen.
723
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:03,320
Gentlemen.
724
00:41:03,570 --> 00:41:04,550
Gentlemen.
725
00:41:05,220 --> 00:41:06,610
You've done it, now.
726
00:41:06,650 --> 00:41:07,860
You've made your fortune.
727
00:41:07,890 --> 00:41:09,070
He was willing to forget.
728
00:41:09,490 --> 00:41:11,180
There you go again, growling.
729
00:41:11,210 --> 00:41:13,460
Yesss,
this latest pose of yours,
730
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:16,070
ruining every opportunity
that comes you way,
731
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:17,100
becomes exaggerated.
732
00:41:17,140 --> 00:41:18,250
Very well, then, I exaggerate.
733
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:19,710
There are certain things
in this world
734
00:41:19,740 --> 00:41:21,100
a man does well
to carry to extremes.
735
00:41:21,140 --> 00:41:23,710
Your precious independence.
Your white plume.
736
00:41:23,740 --> 00:41:25,410
How do you expect
to succeed in life?
737
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,400
What would you have me do?
738
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,590
Seek for the patronage
of some great man
739
00:41:28,630 --> 00:41:31,880
and like a creeping vine
on a tall tree crawl upward
740
00:41:31,910 --> 00:41:33,520
where I cannot stand alone?
741
00:41:33,940 --> 00:41:34,850
No, thank you.
742
00:41:35,210 --> 00:41:39,880
Be a buffoon in the vile hope
of teasing out a smile on some cold face.
743
00:41:40,340 --> 00:41:41,710
No, thank you.
744
00:41:42,050 --> 00:41:44,260
Eat a toad for breakfast
every morning.
745
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:47,530
Make my knees calloused.
Cultivate a supple spine.
746
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,320
Wear out my belly
groveling in the dust.
747
00:41:49,590 --> 00:41:50,400
No, thank you.
748
00:41:50,860 --> 00:41:54,880
With my left hand scratch the back
of any swine that roots up gold for me
749
00:41:54,910 --> 00:41:58,910
while my right, too proud to know
his partner's business, takes in the fee.
750
00:41:58,940 --> 00:41:59,920
No, thank you.
751
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,810
Shall I use the fire God gave me
to burn incense all day long?
752
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,020
No, thank you.
753
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,410
Struggle to insinuate my name
into the columns of the Gazette?
754
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:13,250
Calculate, scheme, be afraid?
Love more to make a visit than a poem?
755
00:42:13,290 --> 00:42:15,990
Seek introductions, favors,
influences?
756
00:42:16,020 --> 00:42:17,050
No, thank you.
757
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,270
No, I thank you, and
again I thank you.
758
00:42:23,930 --> 00:42:30,320
But, to sing, to laugh, to dream,
to walk in my own way,
759
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,510
free with and eye
to see things as they are.
760
00:42:33,380 --> 00:42:35,240
A voice that means manhood.
761
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,640
To cut my have
the right shoes.
762
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:46,150
And a word, a yes, a no,
to fight, or write,
763
00:42:46,830 --> 00:42:48,440
but never to make
a line I have not heard
764
00:42:48,470 --> 00:42:49,780
in my own heart.
765
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,380
To travel any
road under the sun,
766
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,780
under the stars,
767
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,520
nor care if fame or fortune
lie beyond the bourne.
768
00:43:00,370 --> 00:43:02,250
Yet, with all modesty to say,
769
00:43:03,250 --> 00:43:05,830
my soul be satisfied
with flowers,
770
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:08,000
with weeds,
771
00:43:09,210 --> 00:43:10,840
with thorns, even,
772
00:43:11,910 --> 00:43:14,940
but gather them in the one garden
you may call your own.
773
00:43:16,230 --> 00:43:18,450
In a word, I'm too proud
to be a parasite.
774
00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:21,470
And if mine intellect the germ
that grows towering to heaven
775
00:43:21,500 --> 00:43:22,770
like the mountain pine
776
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,570
I stand not high, it may be,
777
00:43:27,260 --> 00:43:28,460
but alone.
778
00:43:28,500 --> 00:43:31,170
Alone, yes, but why
go about making enemies?
779
00:43:32,100 --> 00:43:35,850
Watching other people
making friends...everywhere,
780
00:43:35,890 --> 00:43:37,980
as a dog makes friends.
781
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,550
I mark the manner of
these canine courtesies,
782
00:43:41,580 --> 00:43:46,770
and think, here comes,
thank heaven, another enemy.
783
00:43:46,810 --> 00:43:52,760
Yes, tell this to all the world,
and then to me say very softly
784
00:43:52,790 --> 00:43:55,540
that she loves you not.
785
00:43:58,830 --> 00:44:00,940
Let me be alone
for a moment.
786
00:44:03,990 --> 00:44:05,050
Cyrano, wait.
787
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,760
Give us your story
of the fight.
788
00:44:07,530 --> 00:44:08,400
Presently.
789
00:44:08,430 --> 00:44:10,010
No, the story, now!
790
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,970
Oh, let him alone.
There's time enough.
791
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,360
I want it now!
792
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,090
As an example for that young
tadpole sneaking out the doorway.
793
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,040
You, there.
794
00:44:25,310 --> 00:44:26,820
Are you addressing me?
795
00:44:28,190 --> 00:44:32,770
Yes, you flat-footed
Norman farmer.
796
00:44:36,190 --> 00:44:37,470
You wish something of me?
797
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:39,950
Listen, Monsieur de...de...de
whatever your name is.
798
00:44:39,980 --> 00:44:40,920
de Neuvillette!
799
00:44:41,090 --> 00:44:43,230
Baron Christan de Neuvillette.
800
00:44:43,270 --> 00:44:45,370
Very well, de Neuvillette.
801
00:44:45,670 --> 00:44:48,080
As you are a newcomer here,
you should know there is a
802
00:44:48,110 --> 00:44:52,300
certain subject or object, if you prefer,
that is never mentioned among us.
803
00:44:52,340 --> 00:44:53,340
And that is....?
804
00:44:53,370 --> 00:44:54,500
Look at me!
805
00:44:54,540 --> 00:44:55,980
(touching his nose)
806
00:44:56,020 --> 00:44:57,360
You understand?
807
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:58,670
You mean....?
808
00:44:58,700 --> 00:45:01,090
Thus we never speak that word.
809
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,390
To even breathe it is
to have to do with him.
810
00:45:04,420 --> 00:45:08,760
He has exterminated several
whose mere tone of voice suggested...
811
00:45:08,790 --> 00:45:12,920
Would you die before your time?
Just mention anything convex.
812
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,530
Or cartilaginous.
813
00:45:14,570 --> 00:45:18,540
One word. One syllable.
One gesture. Nay, one sneeze.
814
00:45:18,570 --> 00:45:21,330
And your handkerchief
becomes your winding sheet.
815
00:45:24,110 --> 00:45:24,920
Captain.
816
00:45:25,430 --> 00:45:26,290
Sir?
817
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:30,090
What is the proper thing to do
when Gascons grow too boastful?
818
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,820
Prove to them that one may
be a Norman and still have courage.
819
00:45:33,850 --> 00:45:35,100
I thank you.
820
00:45:41,330 --> 00:45:43,360
Come on, Cyrano, your story.
821
00:45:44,420 --> 00:45:47,330
(shouts of encouragement)
822
00:45:47,740 --> 00:45:49,540
Now, let me see.
Where shall we begin?
823
00:45:50,450 --> 00:45:52,510
I followed with our host
to meet those scoundrels
824
00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:53,640
not knowing where
they might attack.
825
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,340
No lamps in those narrow
back streets.
826
00:45:57,500 --> 00:45:58,600
No moon in the sky.
827
00:45:59,340 --> 00:46:01,220
Dark. Everything dark.
828
00:46:01,430 --> 00:46:04,040
It was so dark, Mon Dieux,
you could not see beyond...
829
00:46:04,070 --> 00:46:05,470
Your nose!
830
00:46:05,850 --> 00:46:08,480
(Christian shows his courage.)
831
00:46:25,250 --> 00:46:33,250
Who...is that...man...there?
832
00:46:34,260 --> 00:46:35,380
- A new recruit.
833
00:46:36,070 --> 00:46:37,550
- Arrived last week.
834
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,080
A recruit, eh?
835
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:41,940
Ha, ha---.
836
00:46:41,970 --> 00:46:45,320
His name is Christian de Neuvillette.
837
00:46:45,350 --> 00:46:48,660
(Cyrano remembers his
promise to Roxane.)
838
00:46:58,510 --> 00:46:59,570
I see.
839
00:47:02,670 --> 00:47:03,510
Very well.
840
00:47:04,850 --> 00:47:06,470
As I was saying.
841
00:47:10,830 --> 00:47:11,930
It grew dark.
842
00:47:12,460 --> 00:47:15,180
You could not see
your hand before your eyes.
843
00:47:16,310 --> 00:47:19,470
I marched on thinking our all for
the sake of one amateur poet
844
00:47:19,510 --> 00:47:22,660
- who wrote a verse whenever he took a..
- A nose full.
845
00:47:24,370 --> 00:47:25,770
...whenever he took a notion.,
846
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,600
and might antagonize
some dangerous man.
847
00:47:28,630 --> 00:47:30,830
One powerful enough
to make me pay...
848
00:47:30,860 --> 00:47:31,980
Through the nose!
849
00:47:32,010 --> 00:47:33,090
...pay the piper!
850
00:47:33,410 --> 00:47:35,430
After all, I thought,
why am I putting in my..
851
00:47:35,470 --> 00:47:36,310
- Nose!
852
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:39,170
...putting in my oar in a quarrel
that was none of mine,
853
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,240
however now that I am here,
I may as well go through with it.
854
00:47:41,270 --> 00:47:42,840
Come Gascon, do your duty.
855
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,850
Suddenly a sword
flashed in the dark!
856
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:45,810
I caught it fair...
857
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:46,810
On the nose!
858
00:47:47,940 --> 00:47:49,130
...on my blade!
859
00:47:49,170 --> 00:47:50,530
Before I knew it,
there I was...
860
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:51,690
Rubbing noses!
861
00:47:51,730 --> 00:47:53,840
...crossing swords with
harvard's joy once.
862
00:47:53,870 --> 00:47:54,940
I had the bottom then...
863
00:47:54,980 --> 00:47:55,900
A nosegay!
864
00:47:55,940 --> 00:47:57,160
...a monstrous crab tree.
865
00:47:57,610 --> 00:48:00,170
(breathing heavily)
He went down for as a wave.
866
00:48:00,380 --> 00:48:00,990
I charged...
867
00:48:01,030 --> 00:48:02,590
Who was in the air hard.
868
00:48:02,620 --> 00:48:03,450
...at the two of them.
869
00:48:04,750 --> 00:48:05,900
Another lunged,
and I parried...
870
00:48:05,940 --> 00:48:07,220
Through your nose!
871
00:48:07,250 --> 00:48:09,310
Right out of here!
All of you go!
872
00:48:09,340 --> 00:48:10,120
Leave me with him.
873
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,660
To my arms, sir.
You have courage.
874
00:48:28,690 --> 00:48:29,880
- That pleases me.
- Why?
875
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,820
Come, do you not know
I am her brother?
876
00:48:31,850 --> 00:48:32,460
Whose?
877
00:48:32,500 --> 00:48:34,250
Hers. Roxane.
878
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:38,390
Brother?
879
00:48:39,260 --> 00:48:40,170
You?
880
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,150
Well, a distant cousin.
Much the same.
881
00:48:42,510 --> 00:48:44,450
- Then she has told you?
- Everything.
882
00:48:44,580 --> 00:48:46,680
- She loves me?
- Perhaps.
883
00:48:47,610 --> 00:48:49,950
My dear sir, more than I can say.
I am honored.
884
00:48:49,990 --> 00:48:52,040
- Rather sudden.
- Oh, please, forgive me.
885
00:48:52,260 --> 00:48:54,270
If you knew how
much I have admired you.
886
00:48:54,310 --> 00:48:57,620
- Yes, yes, and all those noses.
- Please. I apologize.
887
00:48:59,060 --> 00:49:00,680
Roxane expects a letter.
888
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:02,300
- From me?
- Yes, why not?
889
00:49:02,340 --> 00:49:03,180
Oh,, No.
890
00:49:03,530 --> 00:49:05,880
- Once I write, that ruins everything.
- Why?
891
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,020
Because, any schoolboy can write
to her more gracefully than I.
892
00:49:09,590 --> 00:49:10,730
A fool!
893
00:49:10,900 --> 00:49:14,560
- You did not attack me like a fool.
- Anyone can pick a quarrel.
894
00:49:14,740 --> 00:49:16,580
No, I'm never at loss
for words among men,
895
00:49:16,610 --> 00:49:21,260
but with any women...
paralyzed...speechless, dumb.
896
00:49:21,460 --> 00:49:23,600
I'm one of those
stammering idiots
897
00:49:23,630 --> 00:49:25,270
who can not court a woman.
898
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:26,170
Really?
899
00:49:26,810 --> 00:49:28,700
As for myself,
it seems to me that
900
00:49:28,730 --> 00:49:32,300
given the opportunity,
and if I put my mind to it,
901
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,390
I could do that..
rather well.
902
00:49:35,420 --> 00:49:37,870
Oh, is I had words to say
what I have here!
903
00:49:37,900 --> 00:49:39,450
If I were handsome
like you.
904
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,780
Together, we could make
one mighty hero of romance.
905
00:49:43,820 --> 00:49:45,330
If only I had your wit.
906
00:49:50,570 --> 00:49:51,710
Borrow it, then.
907
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:53,150
What?
908
00:49:54,670 --> 00:49:55,490
Tell me,
909
00:49:56,910 --> 00:49:59,770
would you dare repeat to her
the words I gave you day by day?
910
00:50:00,330 --> 00:50:02,420
Send to her
the letters that I write?
911
00:50:02,460 --> 00:50:04,800
I mean, that Roxane
should have no disillusionment.
912
00:50:05,180 --> 00:50:06,820
Come, shall we win her
both together?
913
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:07,800
For you?
914
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,970
- Why, Cyrano...
- Christian, why not?
915
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,850
I...I'm afraid.
916
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,030
Afraid that when you
have her all alone, you will lose her.
917
00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:16,420
Have not fear,
it is your self she loves.
918
00:50:16,450 --> 00:50:17,920
Give her yourself.
919
00:50:17,950 --> 00:50:23,670
Put into words,
my words...upon your lips.
920
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:25,180
Will you?
921
00:50:26,780 --> 00:50:28,030
Will you?
922
00:50:28,910 --> 00:50:30,740
Does it mean
so much to you?
923
00:50:30,770 --> 00:50:32,360
It means....
924
00:50:34,110 --> 00:50:37,060
It means a comedy,
a situation for a poet.
925
00:50:37,190 --> 00:50:38,350
Come, shall we collaborate?
926
00:50:38,390 --> 00:50:42,420
I'll be your cloak of darkness,
your enchanted sword,
927
00:50:42,460 --> 00:50:45,330
your ring to charm
the fairy princess.
928
00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:49,180
Think!
Is the prize not worth the danger?
929
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:52,980
My friend!
930
00:50:54,620 --> 00:50:55,740
My friend.
931
00:50:56,890 --> 00:51:00,100
Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
932
00:51:00,350 --> 00:51:03,650
Plucking the flowers,
we will keep the plant in bloom.
933
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,010
Thus do I love thee,
my darling.
934
00:51:08,890 --> 00:51:09,670
Idiot.
935
00:51:09,910 --> 00:51:12,200
There are a dozen
ways to read that line.
936
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:14,500
Can't you give it some meaning?
Any meaning!
937
00:51:14,530 --> 00:51:15,950
THUS do I love thee!
938
00:51:15,980 --> 00:51:17,280
Thus do "I" love thee.
939
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:18,550
Thus do I LOVE thee.
940
00:51:18,580 --> 00:51:20,930
Thus do I love THEE,
THEE, THEE.
941
00:51:22,580 --> 00:51:25,680
Who knows your smile
has known a perfect thing.
942
00:51:25,710 --> 00:51:28,400
You are a white rose,
wherein love lies in ambush
943
00:51:28,430 --> 00:51:30,180
for its natural prey.
944
00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:33,760
In the garden of my heart,
you are the most...
945
00:51:33,930 --> 00:51:35,680
eh, the most....
946
00:51:37,450 --> 00:51:39,750
fragrant blossom.
947
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,780
As the tender sapling
thirsts for rain,
948
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,900
as the eagle seeks the sky,
949
00:51:48,030 --> 00:51:51,050
as the wave
hurtles toward the shore,
950
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,990
my heart yearns for you.
951
00:51:54,460 --> 00:51:55,820
Good, good.
952
00:51:55,970 --> 00:51:58,740
You know, you're beginning
to have a feel for words.
953
00:51:58,770 --> 00:52:02,010
- Words. I'm sick of words.
- Those are your weapons.
954
00:52:02,050 --> 00:52:03,190
How else do you conquer?
955
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,130
Yes, but when, when?
956
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,190
They're fighting in the north, now.
You know that.
957
00:52:06,230 --> 00:52:07,690
The Regiment will be
called up any day,
958
00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:08,840
and I've never
even kissed her.
959
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,940
Patience, my boy, patience.
960
00:52:11,980 --> 00:52:13,110
I've been patient.
961
00:52:13,140 --> 00:52:16,280
Why, she sees the Compte de Guiche
as often as she does me.
962
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,120
Do you suppose
she's playing with me?
963
00:52:21,260 --> 00:52:22,500
Making a fool of me?
964
00:52:23,850 --> 00:52:24,880
Impossible.
965
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,210
How can you say?
How do you know?
966
00:52:27,210 --> 00:52:31,390
Cyrano, you have her confidence.
You could find out.
967
00:52:39,300 --> 00:52:40,690
Nonsense, I say.
968
00:52:42,260 --> 00:52:43,440
Oh, very well.
969
00:52:43,870 --> 00:52:45,190
I'll scout the terrain.
970
00:52:45,230 --> 00:52:47,200
Listen, Cyrano,
intelligently, discreetly.
971
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:48,160
Yes.
972
00:52:48,190 --> 00:52:49,340
With finesse.
973
00:52:52,010 --> 00:52:55,510
And, uh, what do you think
of Christian after all these weeks?
974
00:52:55,620 --> 00:52:58,030
He is beautiful,
but he's brilliant.
975
00:52:58,070 --> 00:52:59,760
- And I love him.
- Good!
976
00:52:59,870 --> 00:53:01,750
Uh, do you find him intellectual?
977
00:53:01,790 --> 00:53:03,600
- More so than you, even.
- Huh?
978
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,470
- Oh, I didn't mean.
- No, no, no, I am glad.
979
00:53:06,500 --> 00:53:09,290
No man ever so beautifully
said those things.
980
00:53:09,330 --> 00:53:11,900
Those pretty nothings
to everything.
981
00:53:12,310 --> 00:53:15,780
Sometimes, he,. he, he falls
into a reverie.
982
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,110
His inspiration..fails.
983
00:53:20,050 --> 00:53:23,940
But, then all at once,
he will say something absolutely...
984
00:53:23,980 --> 00:53:25,370
Ah!
985
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:26,760
Really?
986
00:53:27,470 --> 00:53:28,910
How like a man!
987
00:53:28,940 --> 00:53:32,220
You think because a man
has a handsome face he must be a fool.
988
00:53:33,330 --> 00:53:34,790
Not necessarily.
989
00:53:34,830 --> 00:53:38,410
Uh, he talks well about, uh,
matters of the heart?
990
00:53:38,450 --> 00:53:42,420
He does not talk.
He rhapsodizes. He dreams.
991
00:53:42,460 --> 00:53:46,360
Only the other night he said to me,
extemporaneously, mind you.
992
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:47,220
Oh, of course.
993
00:53:47,980 --> 00:53:50,660
'Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
994
00:53:50,700 --> 00:53:54,760
'Plucking the flowers
we will keep the plants in bloom.'
995
00:53:55,720 --> 00:53:56,730
Well?
996
00:53:56,770 --> 00:53:58,530
Umm, passable.
997
00:53:58,950 --> 00:54:00,010
He writes well?
998
00:54:00,050 --> 00:54:02,080
Wonderfully, listen:
999
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,510
'Knowing you have in store
more heart to give
1000
00:54:05,550 --> 00:54:08,160
- 'than I to find heart room...'
- The first he has too much heart,
1001
00:54:08,190 --> 00:54:10,400
then too little. Just how much heart
does he need?
1002
00:54:10,470 --> 00:54:11,740
You are teasing.
1003
00:54:11,870 --> 00:54:12,870
You are jealous!
1004
00:54:12,910 --> 00:54:13,690
Jealous?
1005
00:54:13,730 --> 00:54:14,440
Yes.
1006
00:54:14,470 --> 00:54:15,840
Poets are all alike.
1007
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:19,660
Would you dare
criticize these lines?
1008
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:25,100
'Only believe that unto you
my whole heart gives one cry.
1009
00:54:25,540 --> 00:54:29,470
'And writing, writes down
more than you receive.
1010
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,010
'Sending you kisses
through my fingertips.
1011
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,020
'Lady, oh, read my letter
with your lips.'
1012
00:54:39,340 --> 00:54:43,820
Yes, those last lines,
but he overwrites.
1013
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:44,970
Listen to this.
1014
00:54:45,010 --> 00:54:46,000
Do you know
them all by heart?
1015
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,070
Every one.
1016
00:54:47,110 --> 00:54:48,500
Well, I may call
that flattering.
1017
00:54:48,530 --> 00:54:49,310
He is a master.
1018
00:54:49,350 --> 00:54:51,850
- Oh, come..
- Yes, a master.
1019
00:54:51,860 --> 00:54:55,270
Huh, a master,...
if you will.
1020
00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:00,520
And, uh, when do you
bestow the laurel wreath?
1021
00:55:00,540 --> 00:55:05,290
How many prodigies of poetry
must this new Hercules perform?
1022
00:55:05,390 --> 00:55:06,490
I do not know.
1023
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:11,580
My friend, you men own the world
and all that's in it.
1024
00:55:12,020 --> 00:55:17,990
Woman is at best a prize, a property
valued much the same as a horse or a dog,
1025
00:55:18,150 --> 00:55:22,010
unlike the pear and sheen of skin
and soundness of teeth and limb.
1026
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:27,870
Well, if I must be chattel,
then the terms shall be mine,
1027
00:55:27,910 --> 00:55:31,480
and the price according
to my own values.
1028
00:55:31,510 --> 00:55:32,670
There.
1029
00:55:34,070 --> 00:55:35,460
I see.
1030
00:55:37,060 --> 00:55:39,880
Christian tells me
that you meet tonight.
1031
00:55:42,510 --> 00:55:45,210
What would you have him
speak about?
1032
00:55:46,230 --> 00:55:47,910
Oh, nothing,
1033
00:55:48,260 --> 00:55:49,530
and everything.
1034
00:55:49,980 --> 00:55:54,140
I shall say, speak to me
of love in your own words.
1035
00:55:54,550 --> 00:55:56,810
Improvise, rhapsodize.
1036
00:55:57,540 --> 00:55:58,790
Be eloquent.
1037
00:55:59,910 --> 00:56:01,540
But you will not tell him,
will you?
1038
00:56:01,570 --> 00:56:03,270
Ah, perish the thought.
1039
00:56:03,590 --> 00:56:06,370
Madame, Compte de Guiche.
1040
00:56:10,720 --> 00:56:12,820
(Sigh)
Madame.
1041
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:16,880
Monsieur.
1042
00:56:17,770 --> 00:56:18,770
Madame.
1043
00:56:21,570 --> 00:56:24,270
Monsieur.
(Crunch)
1044
00:56:33,430 --> 00:56:35,090
- Christian, quick.
- No.
1045
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,030
There's still time to learn your lines.
No.
1046
00:56:37,070 --> 00:56:39,760
I have some brilliant phrases for you,
brilliant, sensitive...
1047
00:56:39,790 --> 00:56:40,500
No.
1048
00:56:41,150 --> 00:56:42,160
I'll have not more of it.
1049
00:56:42,190 --> 00:56:44,250
Taking all my words, my sentences
all from you,
1050
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,490
- making our love a little comedy.
- Don't you real...
1051
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,480
It was a game at first,
but now she cares.
1052
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:49,390
Huh?
1053
00:56:49,430 --> 00:56:50,750
Thanks to you.
Uh.
1054
00:56:50,790 --> 00:56:53,060
I'm not afraid any longer.
I'll speak for myself, now.
1055
00:56:53,090 --> 00:56:53,720
Oh, undoubtedly.
1056
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,990
I will. You shall see!
1057
00:56:56,500 --> 00:56:59,110
Besides, I know enough
to take a woman in my arms,
1058
00:56:59,150 --> 00:57:00,870
and tonight, I will.
1059
00:57:04,070 --> 00:57:05,420
(knocking on door)
- Christian!
1060
00:57:05,450 --> 00:57:07,210
Thank you, my friend,
and goodbye.
1061
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:09,040
- Christian, I beg of you.
- Leave me!
1062
00:57:09,070 --> 00:57:10,830
- You're making a grave error.
- Go away!
1063
00:57:13,540 --> 00:57:14,540
So be it.
1064
00:57:16,950 --> 00:57:18,600
(door opens)
1065
00:57:20,300 --> 00:57:21,440
Christian.
1066
00:57:21,470 --> 00:57:22,580
Roxane.
1067
00:57:23,190 --> 00:57:25,330
I'm so glad you are early.
1068
00:57:26,430 --> 00:57:28,400
Let us stay out here
in the moonlight.
1069
00:57:29,150 --> 00:57:30,490
It's so pleasant.
1070
00:57:32,780 --> 00:57:33,630
Sit down.
1071
00:57:36,450 --> 00:57:37,720
There, so.
1072
00:57:40,770 --> 00:57:43,780
Now, speak to me.
1073
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:45,470
I love you.
1074
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,330
Yes, speak to me of love.
1075
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,390
I...love you.
1076
00:57:53,430 --> 00:57:55,640
Now, be eloquent.
Be brilliant for me.
1077
00:57:56,300 --> 00:57:57,940
Tonight of all nights.
1078
00:57:58,250 --> 00:58:01,560
I love you....so.
1079
00:58:03,610 --> 00:58:07,630
You have your scene.
Now, improvise, rhapsodize.
1080
00:58:07,660 --> 00:58:11,570
I love you...
very much!
1081
00:58:14,500 --> 00:58:17,600
I ask for cream,
and you give me milk and water.
1082
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:22,490
Tell me firstly,
how you love me.
1083
00:58:22,530 --> 00:58:23,780
Very much!
1084
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:26,440
Is that all you feel?
1085
00:58:26,470 --> 00:58:29,360
Your throat, if only
I might kiss it.
1086
00:58:29,390 --> 00:58:30,170
Christian!
1087
00:58:30,210 --> 00:58:31,520
But, Roxane, I love you.
1088
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:32,860
Again.
1089
00:58:32,890 --> 00:58:34,450
No, not again.
I do not love you.
1090
00:58:37,490 --> 00:58:38,540
That is better.
1091
00:58:39,380 --> 00:58:42,870
I...I adore you!
1092
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:43,870
Oh!
1093
00:58:44,570 --> 00:58:46,070
I know I grow absurd.
1094
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:48,870
And that distresses me as much
as if you had grown ugly!
1095
00:58:51,020 --> 00:58:54,910
Please. Gather your dreams
together into words.
1096
00:58:54,950 --> 00:58:57,830
I...um, I...
1097
00:58:57,870 --> 00:59:00,280
I know. You love me!
Good night!
1098
00:59:00,310 --> 00:59:01,440
Oh, but wait, please!
1099
00:59:01,470 --> 00:59:02,530
I was going to say...
1100
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:04,510
That you adore me.
Yes, I know that, too.
1101
00:59:04,540 --> 00:59:06,720
-No, go away.
- I....
1102
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,290
(door slams shut)
1103
00:59:25,170 --> 00:59:28,330
(Cyrano claps his hands)
1104
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:29,870
A great success.
1105
00:59:30,940 --> 00:59:31,720
Help me.
1106
00:59:31,750 --> 00:59:33,620
Not I.
Speak for yourself, my friend.
1107
00:59:33,660 --> 00:59:35,220
Why I...I can't.
1108
00:59:35,250 --> 00:59:38,040
Well, at least you know enough
to take a woman in your arms.
1109
00:59:38,070 --> 00:59:39,680
Oh, Cyrano, please!
1110
00:59:39,790 --> 00:59:41,610
What, and make your love
a little comedy.
1111
00:59:41,650 --> 00:59:44,060
Cyrano, I cannot live
unless I win her back, now.
1112
00:59:44,100 --> 00:59:44,610
This moment!
1113
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,890
This moment. How the devil
am I to teach you now, this mo...
1114
00:59:47,980 --> 00:59:48,940
(Christian)
Her window.
1115
00:59:49,510 --> 00:59:51,690
- Help me, Cyrano, help me.
- Shhhh.
1116
00:59:53,290 --> 00:59:54,800
(Cyrano)
It does seem fairly dark.
1117
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:55,780
(Christian)
Well? Well?
1118
00:59:57,490 --> 00:59:59,190
(Cyrano)
It is more than
you deserve.
1119
01:00:00,550 --> 01:00:02,010
(Cyrano)
I must try out what
can be done.
1120
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:03,040
(Cyrano)
Stand over there.
1121
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,500
(Cyrano)
Idiot, here, before the balcony.
I'll whisper you what to say.
1122
01:00:09,540 --> 01:00:11,380
- She'll hear..
- Shhhh. Call her.
1123
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:13,690
(Christian)
Roxane.
1124
01:00:14,950 --> 01:00:17,330
(Christian louder)
Roxane.
1125
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,220
(balcony window opens)
1126
01:00:21,690 --> 01:00:22,760
Who's calling?
1127
01:00:23,430 --> 01:00:24,240
Christian.
1128
01:00:24,570 --> 01:00:25,670
You again.
1129
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:27,420
I...had to tell you.
1130
01:00:27,710 --> 01:00:29,340
No. Go away.
You tell me nothing.
1131
01:00:29,370 --> 01:00:30,390
Please.
1132
01:00:30,430 --> 01:00:32,240
You do not
love me anymore.
1133
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:34,810
(Christian copies Cyrano)
No, not anymore.
1134
01:00:35,530 --> 01:00:37,340
I love you evermore,
1135
01:00:38,150 --> 01:00:40,050
and evermore and more.
1136
01:00:41,190 --> 01:00:42,640
Oh, a little better.
1137
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,160
Love grows and struggles
like an angry child.
1138
01:00:48,710 --> 01:00:50,620
Breaking my heart.
1139
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,070
His cradle...
1140
01:00:53,110 --> 01:00:54,630
Better still.
1141
01:00:55,230 --> 01:00:57,390
But such a babe is dangerous.
1142
01:00:57,910 --> 01:01:00,140
Why not have
smothered it newborn?
1143
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:03,290
And so I do.
1144
01:01:03,650 --> 01:01:05,290
And yet he lives.
1145
01:01:06,340 --> 01:01:08,910
I found as you sha...
you shall find
1146
01:01:10,250 --> 01:01:14,400
this newborn babe...
and infant Hercules!
1147
01:01:14,900 --> 01:01:15,430
Good.
1148
01:01:15,460 --> 01:01:16,820
Strong enough at birth
1149
01:01:17,740 --> 01:01:19,600
to strangle
those two serpents
1150
01:01:20,010 --> 01:01:20,550
doubt and
1151
01:01:20,590 --> 01:01:21,090
<i>What?</i>
1152
01:01:21,250 --> 01:01:22,600
pride!
1153
01:01:23,410 --> 01:01:24,440
Why, very good.
1154
01:01:25,330 --> 01:01:27,880
Only, tell me why
you speak so haltingly.
1155
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,580
Has your imagination
gone....lame?
1156
01:01:33,260 --> 01:01:35,130
(Cyrano)
This grows too difficult.
1157
01:01:35,530 --> 01:01:38,320
Your words tonight
hesitate, why?
1158
01:01:38,630 --> 01:01:42,970
Through the warm summer gloom,
they grope in darkness
1159
01:01:43,170 --> 01:01:44,690
toward the light of you.
1160
01:01:46,010 --> 01:01:47,860
My words are
heavy with honey,
1161
01:01:47,900 --> 01:01:49,360
like returning bees.
1162
01:01:50,190 --> 01:01:52,310
Yet they must fly so high.
1163
01:01:52,530 --> 01:01:54,140
Come nearer then.
Stand you on the bench.
1164
01:01:54,170 --> 01:01:55,000
No.
1165
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:56,190
Then I'll come down.
1166
01:01:56,230 --> 01:01:57,110
NO!
1167
01:01:57,570 --> 01:01:59,380
And why so great a no?
1168
01:02:00,490 --> 01:02:02,920
Let me enjoy the one
moment I ever...
1169
01:02:03,710 --> 01:02:07,110
My one chance
to speak to you...unseen.
1170
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:08,290
Unseen?
1171
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:09,740
Yes. Yes.
1172
01:02:10,070 --> 01:02:12,380
Night making all things
dimly beautiful
1173
01:02:12,410 --> 01:02:13,770
one veil over us both.
1174
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,040
You need no eyes
to hear my heart.
1175
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:20,410
Oh, tonight, let it seem as if
I speak for the first time.
1176
01:02:21,150 --> 01:02:22,110
For the first time?
1177
01:02:22,140 --> 01:02:23,000
Yes.
1178
01:02:23,940 --> 01:02:25,780
Your voice, even,
is not the same.
1179
01:02:25,810 --> 01:02:26,990
How should it be.
1180
01:02:27,030 --> 01:02:28,450
I have another
voice tonight.
1181
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:31,250
My own, myself,... daring!
1182
01:02:31,610 --> 01:02:32,610
Why daring?
1183
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,600
Because, what am I, what is any man
would he dare ask for you?
1184
01:02:36,630 --> 01:02:40,780
Therefore my heart has hidden behind
poetic words and tinsel phrases.
1185
01:02:41,260 --> 01:02:43,640
But are they not sweet,
those pretty phrases?
1186
01:02:43,670 --> 01:02:45,630
Not enough sweet
for you and me tonight.
1187
01:02:47,530 --> 01:02:49,240
You never spoke
to me like this.
1188
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,510
I tell you, there comes
one moment, once,
1189
01:02:51,540 --> 01:02:53,800
and heaven help those
who pass that moment by,
1190
01:02:53,830 --> 01:02:56,110
when beauty stands
looking into the soul
1191
01:02:56,150 --> 01:03:01,810
with grave, sweet eyes,
that sicken at pretty words.
1192
01:03:02,650 --> 01:03:06,260
Yes...that is love.
1193
01:03:06,290 --> 01:03:07,010
Love.
1194
01:03:07,050 --> 01:03:09,260
A love beyond breath,
beyond reason,
1195
01:03:09,290 --> 01:03:11,590
beyond love's own
power of loving.
1196
01:03:11,630 --> 01:03:14,200
Your name is like a golden bell
hung in my heart,
1197
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:18,450
and when I think of you I tremble,
and the bell swings and rings,
1198
01:03:18,610 --> 01:03:28,580
Roxane! Roxane!
Along my veins...Roxane.
1199
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,970
Yes...that is love.
1200
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,770
(Cyrano)
Yes...that is love.
1201
01:03:36,090 --> 01:03:38,920
That wind of terrible
and jealous beauty,
1202
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:44,200
that dark fire,
that soaring, blinding music.
1203
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,690
Yet, you may take my happiness
to make you happier
1204
01:03:47,730 --> 01:03:49,410
even though you
never know I gave it to you.
1205
01:03:49,940 --> 01:03:55,700
Only let me hear, sometimes, all alone,
the distant laughter of your joy.
1206
01:03:56,740 --> 01:03:58,470
Do you begin
to understand a little?
1207
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,200
Can you feel my soul there
in the darkness breathe on you?
1208
01:04:03,230 --> 01:04:06,630
Oh, only tonight,
now I dare say these things.
1209
01:04:06,790 --> 01:04:09,400
I to you, and you hear them.
1210
01:04:10,030 --> 01:04:12,650
It is my voice, mine, my own
that makes you tremble
1211
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,390
there in the green gloom,
above me, for you do tremble
1212
01:04:15,430 --> 01:04:18,110
as a blossom among the leaves,
you tremble, and I can feel
1213
01:04:18,140 --> 01:04:19,670
all the way down along
this jasmine branch
1214
01:04:19,710 --> 01:04:23,700
whether you will unhold
the passion of you trembling.
1215
01:04:24,340 --> 01:04:25,960
Yes, I do tremble.
1216
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,880
And I weep, and I love you,
and I am yours,
1217
01:04:29,910 --> 01:04:31,720
and you have made me thus.
1218
01:04:36,710 --> 01:04:38,250
I have done this to you.
1219
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,380
I myself.
1220
01:04:44,970 --> 01:04:47,240
Only let me ask
one thing more.
1221
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:48,900
I want a kiss!
1222
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:52,080
You ask me for...
1223
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:53,060
I...yes.
1224
01:04:53,100 --> 01:04:54,260
That is to say...
1225
01:04:54,780 --> 01:04:55,770
I mean...
1226
01:04:56,140 --> 01:04:57,450
You've gone too far.
1227
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,370
If she's willing, why
not make the most of it?
1228
01:04:59,410 --> 01:05:04,270
I, I ask.
I know I ask too much.
1229
01:05:05,150 --> 01:05:06,420
Only one?
1230
01:05:07,550 --> 01:05:08,630
Is that all?
1231
01:05:09,150 --> 01:05:12,210
All?
How much more than all?
1232
01:05:12,250 --> 01:05:16,030
I know I startle you,
I...I ask, I ask you to refuse.
1233
01:05:16,070 --> 01:05:17,200
Why? Why? Why?
1234
01:05:17,230 --> 01:05:18,350
Christian, be quiet.
1235
01:05:18,390 --> 01:05:19,430
What is that your say?
1236
01:05:19,470 --> 01:05:21,810
I am angry with myself,
because I know I go too far
1237
01:05:21,850 --> 01:05:26,270
and so I say to myself,
CHRISTIAN, BE QUIET!
1238
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:28,300
Watch it, someone comes.
1239
01:05:36,390 --> 01:05:39,180
Well, sir, I am looking
for the house of madame Roxane Robin.
1240
01:05:39,220 --> 01:05:43,450
This is not the house. That way.
To the right. Keep to the right.
1241
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:44,330
I thank you sir.
1242
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,880
I shall say my beads for you
to the very last bead.
1243
01:05:49,340 --> 01:05:50,680
Win me that kiss?
1244
01:05:51,370 --> 01:05:52,070
No!
1245
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:53,780
Sooner or later.
1246
01:05:59,170 --> 01:06:00,510
So that is true.
1247
01:06:01,460 --> 01:06:07,540
Sooner or later must be so, because,
she is young, and you are handsome.
1248
01:06:09,170 --> 01:06:15,240
Since it must be, I'd rather be
myself the cause, if it must be.
1249
01:06:16,990 --> 01:06:19,620
(balcony window opens)
1250
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:24,660
Are you still there?
1251
01:06:24,690 --> 01:06:25,470
(Cyrano)
Yes.
1252
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:28,740
We were speaking of...
1253
01:06:30,090 --> 01:06:32,450
A kiss.
- A kiss.
1254
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,340
And what is a kiss
when all is done?
1255
01:06:34,930 --> 01:06:37,080
A vow taken before
the shrine of memory.
1256
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,650
A rosy dot
over the "i" of loving.
1257
01:06:39,790 --> 01:06:42,950
- A secret whisper
to listen if the past.
1258
01:06:42,980 --> 01:06:43,650
Shhh.
1259
01:06:43,690 --> 01:06:46,720
A moment free to mortal
with a rush of wing from Ceden.
1260
01:06:46,750 --> 01:06:48,220
A sacrament of blossoms.
1261
01:06:48,260 --> 01:06:53,250
A new song sung by two hearts
to an old, simple tune.
1262
01:06:53,290 --> 01:06:54,430
Hush.
1263
01:06:54,460 --> 01:06:56,050
Why? What shame?
1264
01:06:58,010 --> 01:07:01,310
No.
No shame.
1265
01:07:01,610 --> 01:07:02,770
Then come.
1266
01:07:03,550 --> 01:07:05,680
Gather your sacred blossoms.
1267
01:07:07,250 --> 01:07:09,230
Your moment made immortal.
1268
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:09,860
Climb!
1269
01:07:10,660 --> 01:07:12,300
- But, climb?
- Many more!
1270
01:07:22,410 --> 01:07:23,760
Roxane.
1271
01:07:33,870 --> 01:07:34,690
(sigh)
1272
01:07:36,090 --> 01:07:39,770
Ah, Roxane.
I have won what I have wanted.
1273
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:45,410
A feast of love,
and I am faint with hunger.
1274
01:07:48,110 --> 01:07:51,040
Yet, I have something here
that is mine now,...
1275
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,380
and was not mine before.
1276
01:07:54,220 --> 01:07:56,790
I spoke the words
that won her.
1277
01:07:57,890 --> 01:08:05,890
She kisses my words.
My words...upon his lips.
1278
01:08:07,230 --> 01:08:08,650
(gate opens)
1279
01:08:13,250 --> 01:08:14,670
What, dear Father,
lost your way again?
1280
01:08:14,710 --> 01:08:16,270
But, she lives here,
Madame Robin.
1281
01:08:16,300 --> 01:08:17,830
Oh, I thought
you said, Rolen?
1282
01:08:17,860 --> 01:08:19,850
No, r..o..b..i..n, Robin.
1283
01:08:19,890 --> 01:08:21,030
Oh, Robin, I see.
1284
01:08:21,070 --> 01:08:23,090
I'm too old
to chase wild geese
1285
01:08:23,130 --> 01:08:25,080
- my feet...
- Oh, what a shame,
1286
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,920
(knocking on door)
however, I'm sure there's someone at home.
1287
01:08:29,330 --> 01:08:30,120
(door opens)
1288
01:08:30,150 --> 01:08:30,860
What is it?
1289
01:08:30,890 --> 01:08:34,570
Yeah, I'm looking for
the young lady, Madam Rolen
1290
01:08:34,610 --> 01:08:35,840
Rolen?
1291
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:37,080
Robin!
1292
01:08:37,950 --> 01:08:40,050
Madame!
A letter for you.
1293
01:08:40,590 --> 01:08:42,070
Yes, yes, I heard.
1294
01:08:42,970 --> 01:08:43,650
Cyrano.
1295
01:08:43,690 --> 01:08:46,080
Uh, passing by cousin,
I saw this light.
1296
01:08:46,700 --> 01:08:50,330
Uh, some matter
profitable to the soul.
1297
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:52,550
A very noble lord gave it to me.
1298
01:08:52,750 --> 01:08:53,640
(Christian)
What is it?
1299
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,100
<i>My regiment has been
ordered to the front. </i>
1300
01:08:57,130 --> 01:08:59,490
<i>I cannot allow you
to delay any longer.</i>
1301
01:08:59,530 --> 01:09:01,820
<i>This simple old monk,
who knows nothing,</i>
1302
01:09:01,850 --> 01:09:04,190
<i>will marry us tonight.
My love, Antoine de Guiche.</i>
1303
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,110
(Roxane changes everything)
1304
01:09:07,150 --> 01:09:08,880
Father, this letter
concerns you.
1305
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,930
"Madame, the Cardinal
will have his way,
1306
01:09:13,970 --> 01:09:15,530
"although against your will.
1307
01:09:15,710 --> 01:09:18,150
"That is why I am
sending this to you,
1308
01:09:18,180 --> 01:09:20,470
"by a most holy man.
1309
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,160
"Intelligent, discreet.
1310
01:09:23,580 --> 01:09:26,660
"You will communicate
to him our order to perform
1311
01:09:26,900 --> 01:09:31,160
"here and at once
the rite of holy matrimony.
1312
01:09:32,570 --> 01:09:35,910
"You and Christian will be
married privately in your house.
1313
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,760
"Be resigned to the
Cardinal's command,
1314
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:41,930
"who sends herewith
his blessings.
1315
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,060
"Your very humble,
and etcetera..."
1316
01:09:44,940 --> 01:09:46,750
Oh, this is terrible.
1317
01:09:48,220 --> 01:09:49,850
Oh, you're to be
the, uh...
1318
01:09:49,890 --> 01:09:51,490
I am to be the bridegroom.
1319
01:09:53,950 --> 01:09:56,230
Uh, look here.
A postscript.
1320
01:09:56,780 --> 01:10:02,320
"Give to the monastery,
in my name 120 pieces of gold."
1321
01:10:02,350 --> 01:10:04,070
One hundred and twenty...
1322
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,530
Oh, a worthy lord.
A very worthy lord.
1323
01:10:09,470 --> 01:10:12,030
Daughter, resign yourself.
1324
01:10:12,070 --> 01:10:14,080
I am resigned.
1325
01:10:22,350 --> 01:10:24,500
The Guiche is coming, too.
Don't let him enter.
1326
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:25,730
Not let him enter?
1327
01:10:25,770 --> 01:10:27,790
Until we're married, please.
1328
01:10:28,610 --> 01:10:30,340
(door slams shut)
1329
01:10:44,330 --> 01:10:45,250
(Count)
What is that?
1330
01:10:45,340 --> 01:10:46,330
(Cyrano)
Me?
1331
01:10:46,370 --> 01:10:48,360
- Why, where did you come from?
- The moon.
1332
01:10:48,390 --> 01:10:49,330
- You...
- From the moon.
1333
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:50,690
I have just returned
from the moon.
1334
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:52,420
- The fellow's mad!
-Like a bomb, I tell you,
1335
01:10:52,460 --> 01:10:54,130
- I fell from the moon!
- Your feet must...
1336
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:55,450
- I say THE MOON!
1337
01:10:55,480 --> 01:10:57,580
- Very well, if you say so.
- Thank you.
1338
01:10:57,610 --> 01:10:58,610
- Raving mad.
1339
01:11:00,660 --> 01:11:02,850
- Where am I?
- My dear sir!
1340
01:11:02,890 --> 01:11:04,080
- What place is this?
What country?
1341
01:11:04,110 --> 01:11:06,170
- Please, let me pass.
- This face, good heavens!
1342
01:11:06,210 --> 01:11:08,710
Maul, a robber.
Where am I?
1343
01:11:08,750 --> 01:11:12,830
- A lady is waiting for me.
- Oh, this is Paris, huh?
1344
01:11:12,870 --> 01:11:13,620
You fool!
1345
01:11:13,650 --> 01:11:14,800
Dear old Paris.
1346
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,750
Excuse my appearance.
I arrived by the last thunderbolt.
1347
01:11:17,790 --> 01:11:19,970
A trifled singed
as I passed through the ether.
1348
01:11:20,470 --> 01:11:21,320
Monsieur!
1349
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:22,080
Sir?
1350
01:11:22,130 --> 01:11:23,750
That will do, now. I wish...
1351
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,600
I know, you wish to look for
my own list of nature for moons
1352
01:11:25,630 --> 01:11:27,820
and happiness and character
of it's surface, if any.
1353
01:11:27,850 --> 01:11:29,060
I desire no such thing, I...
1354
01:11:29,100 --> 01:11:30,060
Of course not.
1355
01:11:32,940 --> 01:11:34,330
You wish to know
by what mysterious
1356
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:35,570
means I reached the moon.
1357
01:11:35,610 --> 01:11:37,870
Well, a very secret affair of state,
1358
01:11:37,900 --> 01:11:41,770
but confidentially
a new invention of my own.
1359
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:43,190
Drunk, two ways.
Well a man..
1360
01:11:43,230 --> 01:11:46,050
Oh, no. In truth I have
my choice of several inventions.
1361
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:46,600
Uh?
1362
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:50,850
Yes, several ways
to violate the virgin sky.
1363
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:52,210
Several?
1364
01:11:52,250 --> 01:11:53,510
Several.
1365
01:11:53,540 --> 01:11:57,520
As, for instance, smoke
having a natural tendency to rise,
1366
01:11:57,550 --> 01:12:02,050
blow in a globe
enough to raise me.
1367
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:03,300
Yes, that makes one.
1368
01:12:03,330 --> 01:12:06,780
Again, I might construct a rocket
in the shape of a HUGE locust
1369
01:12:06,820 --> 01:12:10,810
driven by impulses up within
a saltpeter from the rear
1370
01:12:10,850 --> 01:12:14,050
and thus speed upwards,
like, thus!
1371
01:12:14,260 --> 01:12:15,260
Yes, another?
1372
01:12:15,290 --> 01:12:18,950
Finally, seated on an iron plate,
hurl a magnet into the air.
1373
01:12:18,980 --> 01:12:21,810
The iron follows.
I catch the magnet.
1374
01:12:21,850 --> 01:12:25,330
Throw it again, and
so proceed indefinitely.
1375
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,460
Excellent, and
which did you adopt?
1376
01:12:31,450 --> 01:12:32,370
Why none of them.
1377
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:34,350
Yet another.
1378
01:12:34,390 --> 01:12:35,740
Which was...?
1379
01:12:46,810 --> 01:12:47,500
Guess.
1380
01:12:47,860 --> 01:12:49,370
Ahhh, I can't!
1381
01:12:50,090 --> 01:12:51,100
Try.
1382
01:12:52,340 --> 01:12:53,980
Interesting idiot, this.
1383
01:13:05,350 --> 01:13:06,540
Have you guessed it yet?
1384
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:07,960
Why, no, what is it?
1385
01:13:13,780 --> 01:13:15,870
Alas, you will never know,
but no matter.
1386
01:13:15,910 --> 01:13:18,470
You are free and
they are bound in wedlock.
1387
01:13:18,510 --> 01:13:21,010
I drunk that voice,
and that nose, Cyrano!
1388
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:23,710
Cyrano. This very moment
they have exchanged vows.
1389
01:13:23,750 --> 01:13:24,460
Who?
1390
01:13:29,820 --> 01:13:31,530
My sincere compliments.
1391
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,900
You, also, my traveler in space.
1392
01:13:34,940 --> 01:13:37,800
My Lord, the heads of Capathieu
and Joyce have joined together.
1393
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:38,750
Quite so!
1394
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:44,160
Madame, kindly bid
your... husband farewell.
1395
01:13:44,190 --> 01:13:46,670
Your regiment leaves tonight, sir.
Report at once!
1396
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:49,320
But, the Cadets are not called.
1397
01:13:49,350 --> 01:13:51,850
They are, indeed, and
under my command.
1398
01:13:52,710 --> 01:13:55,080
Out there we may
have an accounting.
1399
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:58,130
Somehow, that news
fails to disquiet me.
1400
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,190
Here are the orders.
Baron, deliver this.
1401
01:14:02,500 --> 01:14:03,650
Christian!
1402
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,660
The bridal night
is not so near.
1403
01:14:10,090 --> 01:14:13,400
Somehow that news
fails to disquiet me.
1404
01:14:17,710 --> 01:14:19,340
Baron, you have your orders.
1405
01:14:36,270 --> 01:14:37,530
Farewell, Roxane.
1406
01:14:38,290 --> 01:14:40,490
Take care of him, for me.
Promise me never to let him
1407
01:14:40,530 --> 01:14:41,400
do anything dangerous.
1408
01:14:41,430 --> 01:14:42,890
I will do my best.
I cannot promise.
1409
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:44,970
I thought you brave always.
Make him be careful.
1410
01:14:45,010 --> 01:14:46,070
Yes, yes, I'll try.
1411
01:14:46,110 --> 01:14:47,840
Be sure to keep him
warm and dry!
1412
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:49,150
Yes, if possible.
1413
01:14:49,190 --> 01:14:51,820
Have him write to me
every single day!
1414
01:14:51,860 --> 01:14:54,090
That, I promise you.
1415
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,970
(the war with Spain)
1416
01:15:40,820 --> 01:15:41,540
Halt!
1417
01:16:03,370 --> 01:16:03,920
Uh!
1418
01:16:13,930 --> 01:16:18,590
(Madame Baroness de Neuvillette,
Rue Marais No. 12, Paris)
1419
01:16:46,610 --> 01:16:48,170
The situation
is simple, gentlemen.
1420
01:16:48,420 --> 01:16:53,340
We have besieged Arras.
The Prince of Spain has besieged us.
1421
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,960
Consequently, we
are surrounded.
1422
01:16:56,050 --> 01:16:58,920
- A fine war. Where
the besiegers are besieged
1423
01:16:58,950 --> 01:17:00,020
and starve to death.
1424
01:17:00,060 --> 01:17:01,990
Yes, but the Marshal has
devised a brilliant plan
1425
01:17:02,030 --> 01:17:03,480
for bringing in food
this very night.
1426
01:17:03,510 --> 01:17:04,460
Now, see here.
1427
01:17:04,500 --> 01:17:06,240
Spare us the details, Colonel.
1428
01:17:06,270 --> 01:17:08,820
Merely inform us
when the food arrives.
1429
01:17:08,860 --> 01:17:11,380
True, we are hungry.
But why blame me?
1430
01:17:11,700 --> 01:17:13,320
I'm only your Colonel.
1431
01:17:14,700 --> 01:17:16,910
Oh, yes, I know
you disprove of me.
1432
01:17:17,020 --> 01:17:18,940
Call me courtier, politician.
1433
01:17:19,430 --> 01:17:22,080
Well, I can afford you little hates.
1434
01:17:22,110 --> 01:17:24,730
My conduct under fire
is well known.
1435
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,170
It was only yesterday
I repelled a Spanish attack.
1436
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,070
Pouring my men down
like an avalanche.
1437
01:17:29,250 --> 01:17:30,710
I, myself lead the charge.
1438
01:17:30,900 --> 01:17:33,330
- And your white scarf?
(through a cannon barrel)
1439
01:17:33,370 --> 01:17:34,130
Cyrano!
1440
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:39,140
And your white scarf?
1441
01:17:39,150 --> 01:17:40,480
Eh, you heard that episode?
1442
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:44,110
Yes, I was so far in advance
I was in danger of being captured.
1443
01:17:44,180 --> 01:17:46,570
But I thought quickly,
took off and flung away
1444
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,290
the scarf that marked
my military rank.
1445
01:17:48,420 --> 01:17:51,150
And so being inconspicuous
escaped among my own force,
1446
01:17:51,410 --> 01:17:54,250
rallied them, returned,
and won the day.
1447
01:17:54,290 --> 01:17:55,500
What do you say to that?
1448
01:17:55,540 --> 01:17:58,550
Still, enough that is not likely
to resign the privilege of being a target.
1449
01:17:58,580 --> 01:18:01,690
How pleasant for you
that you are denied that privilege.
1450
01:18:01,730 --> 01:18:03,650
Pleasant?
Lend me your scarf.
1451
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:05,570
With your permission I shall
lead the first charge tonight
1452
01:18:05,610 --> 01:18:06,890
wearing it over my shoulder.
1453
01:18:06,930 --> 01:18:07,720
What bluster.
1454
01:18:07,750 --> 01:18:09,630
You're safe making that offer,
and you know it.
1455
01:18:09,670 --> 01:18:12,620
My scarf lies on the
river bank between the lines.
1456
01:18:12,650 --> 01:18:15,560
A spot swept by artillery.
Impossible to reach alive.
1457
01:18:15,700 --> 01:18:16,700
Yes.
1458
01:18:16,730 --> 01:18:20,500
(displays the Colonel's scarf)
1459
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:22,410
Here.
1460
01:18:22,580 --> 01:18:24,590
(laughter)
1461
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:26,500
Thank you.
1462
01:18:28,180 --> 01:18:31,000
This bit of white is
what I need to make a signal.
1463
01:18:31,820 --> 01:18:33,360
I was hesitating.
1464
01:18:33,940 --> 01:18:35,720
You have decided me.
1465
01:18:41,370 --> 01:18:43,010
- Stand or I'll fire!
- Hold you fire.
1466
01:18:43,050 --> 01:18:44,650
There's a man down
there running away.
1467
01:18:44,690 --> 01:18:46,700
Yes, a Spaniard.
1468
01:18:47,440 --> 01:18:50,310
But very useful as a spy
to both sides.
1469
01:18:51,270 --> 01:18:52,480
As I was about
to tell you.
1470
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,100
The Marshal has withdrawn
more than half our forces here.
1471
01:18:55,140 --> 01:18:57,190
Fortunately, the Spaniards
do not know that.
1472
01:18:57,230 --> 01:19:00,470
Oh, yes, they do now,
and they will attack tonight.
1473
01:19:00,510 --> 01:19:02,240
At this point.
1474
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:04,520
Your revenge, eh?
1475
01:19:04,550 --> 01:19:06,670
I make not great
pretense in loving you.
1476
01:19:06,770 --> 01:19:10,170
But since you gentlemen
esteem yourselves invincible,
1477
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,710
the bravest of the brave,
and all that.
1478
01:19:12,750 --> 01:19:14,120
Why need we be personal.
1479
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,710
The Marshal needs
a diversion, and I serve him
1480
01:19:16,740 --> 01:19:19,040
in choosing as I chose.
1481
01:19:19,210 --> 01:19:21,440
As you can see, Captain,
the great thing is to gain time.
1482
01:19:21,470 --> 01:19:23,070
To hold until the Marshal returns.
1483
01:19:23,180 --> 01:19:24,980
- And to gain time?
1484
01:19:25,490 --> 01:19:31,370
You will all be so kind
as to lay down your lives.
1485
01:19:39,610 --> 01:19:40,700
Christian?
1486
01:19:40,740 --> 01:19:41,400
Yes.
1487
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:46,130
Roxane?
1488
01:19:46,940 --> 01:19:49,260
I should like to say
farewell to her
1489
01:19:49,290 --> 01:19:51,580
with my whole
heart for her to keep.
1490
01:19:53,630 --> 01:19:55,610
I have taken the liberty of...
1491
01:19:58,580 --> 01:20:03,760
(the first letter
Christian is aware of)
1492
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:05,110
But, wait.
1493
01:20:07,270 --> 01:20:08,180
This little spot.
1494
01:20:08,620 --> 01:20:09,360
Spot?
1495
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:10,100
Yes.
1496
01:20:10,470 --> 01:20:11,550
A tear.
1497
01:20:13,500 --> 01:20:14,210
Is nothing.
1498
01:20:14,250 --> 01:20:16,860
A poet while he writes
is like a lover in his lady's arms,
1499
01:20:16,890 --> 01:20:19,060
believing his imagination,
everything seems real.
1500
01:20:19,090 --> 01:20:20,710
There's half the charm
of writing.
1501
01:20:21,230 --> 01:20:24,000
Now, I made this letter
so pathetic, that,
1502
01:20:24,030 --> 01:20:27,290
while I was writing it,
I wept.
1503
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:28,110
You wept?
1504
01:20:28,650 --> 01:20:31,590
Why, yes, because
it is a little thing to die,
1505
01:20:32,500 --> 01:20:36,710
but not to see her,...
that is terrible.
1506
01:20:37,700 --> 01:20:41,890
I shall never...,
you will never...
1507
01:20:42,480 --> 01:20:43,690
Give me that.
1508
01:20:45,190 --> 01:20:48,500
- Halt. Who goes there.
- On the service of the King.
1509
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:01,330
- The King!
- Fall in...
1510
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:11,620
Good evening.
1511
01:21:11,650 --> 01:21:13,540
On the King's service, you?
1512
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:25,850
- Gentlemen,...
- What are you doing here?
1513
01:21:25,890 --> 01:21:28,300
- We heard rumors at home
you were hungry,
1514
01:21:28,340 --> 01:21:29,810
- so we came prepared.
1515
01:21:29,850 --> 01:21:34,500
The Spaniards adored the fare,
but they missed the fowl!
1516
01:21:34,530 --> 01:21:37,560
(soldiers clamor for food)
1517
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:47,020
But why did you come here
into this, this danger?
1518
01:21:47,060 --> 01:21:49,420
They said in Paris
there was no fighting.
1519
01:21:50,450 --> 01:21:53,620
Besides, it was your own fault.
1520
01:22:01,410 --> 01:22:03,770
Think of the
letters you have written me.
1521
01:22:04,050 --> 01:22:06,510
How many times!
Every day!
1522
01:22:06,550 --> 01:22:07,680
Every day?
1523
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:08,820
Of course.
1524
01:22:08,980 --> 01:22:11,560
And each one
more wonderful than the last.
1525
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:14,820
All this, for a few absurd love letters.
1526
01:22:14,860 --> 01:22:18,050
Hush. Absurd?
Your letters...no, never.
1527
01:22:19,030 --> 01:22:22,730
Every one was like hearing your voice
that night in the dark. Remember?
1528
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:26,590
Like your arms around me.
I read them over and over.
1529
01:22:26,630 --> 01:22:30,420
Every page was like
a petal fallen from you soul.
1530
01:22:30,460 --> 01:22:33,350
Like the light
and the fire of a great love.
1531
01:22:33,390 --> 01:22:36,020
- Sweet and strong and true.
- Sweet.
1532
01:22:36,180 --> 01:22:37,280
Strong.
1533
01:22:37,590 --> 01:22:38,490
True?
1534
01:22:41,570 --> 01:22:43,090
Oh, my Christian.
1535
01:22:43,690 --> 01:22:46,420
I came here to ask forgiveness.
1536
01:22:47,660 --> 01:22:49,380
It is time to be forgiven.
1537
01:22:49,860 --> 01:22:51,950
Now, when we
may die so soon.
1538
01:22:53,780 --> 01:22:55,380
Forgive me for being
light and vain
1539
01:22:55,410 --> 01:22:57,570
and loving you only
because you were handsome.
1540
01:22:57,600 --> 01:22:59,230
- For now...
- Now?
1541
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:01,940
I love you for yourself.
1542
01:23:02,350 --> 01:23:04,090
For what you are.
1543
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:05,340
Roxane.
1544
01:23:05,910 --> 01:23:09,000
How you must have suffered.
For you saw how frivolous I was.
1545
01:23:09,030 --> 01:23:11,300
And to be loved
for the mere costume,
1546
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,090
for the poor, casual
body you went about in.
1547
01:23:14,750 --> 01:23:17,620
To a soul like yours,
that must have been torture.
1548
01:23:17,650 --> 01:23:18,390
No.
1549
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:23,140
I understand.
1550
01:23:23,790 --> 01:23:25,930
You cannot perfectly
believe in me,
1551
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:27,530
a...a love like this...
1552
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:29,090
I want no love like this.
1553
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,020
I want love only for...
1554
01:23:31,050 --> 01:23:33,090
Only for what every
woman sees in you.
1555
01:23:33,700 --> 01:23:35,030
I can to better than that.
1556
01:23:35,060 --> 01:23:37,240
No, it...it was best before.
1557
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,090
You do not
altogether know me.
1558
01:23:40,540 --> 01:23:42,260
I was a child.
1559
01:23:42,350 --> 01:23:43,650
I'm a woman now.
1560
01:23:44,250 --> 01:23:46,720
- If...if you were less handsome,
- No.
1561
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:50,130
unattractive, ugly even,
I should love you, still.
1562
01:23:50,770 --> 01:23:51,900
Do you mean that?
1563
01:23:52,510 --> 01:23:53,750
I do mean that.
1564
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:55,020
Ugly?
1565
01:23:55,100 --> 01:23:56,200
Even then.
1566
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:58,050
Now, are you happy?
1567
01:24:03,470 --> 01:24:04,650
Yes.
1568
01:24:04,690 --> 01:24:05,500
What is it?
1569
01:24:06,190 --> 01:24:08,690
Nothing, only, Cyrano...
1570
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:10,830
Cyrano.
1571
01:24:12,050 --> 01:24:14,090
he has something
to tell you.
1572
01:24:16,180 --> 01:24:17,200
Where are you going?
1573
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:20,690
I...will...return...in a moment.
1574
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:30,050
Cyrano.
1575
01:24:30,650 --> 01:24:32,480
Your wife, sir,
she goes with me?
1576
01:24:32,510 --> 01:24:33,340
No, sir, she remains.
1577
01:24:33,380 --> 01:24:34,670
There is still time
for her to escape.
1578
01:24:34,710 --> 01:24:35,640
She stays!
1579
01:24:36,030 --> 01:24:36,790
Very well.
1580
01:24:36,820 --> 01:24:38,950
Someone give me a musket.
I stay here also.
1581
01:24:39,420 --> 01:24:40,640
Sir, you show courage.
1582
01:24:40,670 --> 01:24:42,890
What, shall I run away,
and leave a woman?
1583
01:24:43,450 --> 01:24:45,320
Colonel, my compliments, sir.
1584
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:47,810
What of Roxane?
1585
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:48,470
Wait.
1586
01:24:49,350 --> 01:24:50,860
Well, what is it?
You look so...
1587
01:24:52,830 --> 01:24:54,580
She does not love me.
1588
01:24:54,990 --> 01:24:57,310
- You think not?
- She loves you.
1589
01:24:57,340 --> 01:24:59,630
- No.
- She loves only my soul.
1590
01:24:59,660 --> 01:25:00,370
- No.
- Yes!
1591
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:03,140
That means you.
And you love her.
1592
01:25:03,170 --> 01:25:05,300
- I?
- I see. I know.
1593
01:25:05,340 --> 01:25:08,310
You wrote her,
everyday, every day!
1594
01:25:08,820 --> 01:25:10,030
- Perfectly simple.
- Simple?
1595
01:25:10,060 --> 01:25:11,700
For a month,
we've been blockaded here.
1596
01:25:11,740 --> 01:25:13,340
How did you send
all those letters?
1597
01:25:13,370 --> 01:25:14,500
Before daylight
I managed...
1598
01:25:14,530 --> 01:25:16,070
To face death
everyday.
1599
01:25:16,820 --> 01:25:17,950
You love her.
1600
01:25:19,020 --> 01:25:20,190
Yes.
1601
01:25:26,950 --> 01:25:27,890
Tell her so.
1602
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:29,250
- No.
- Why not?
1603
01:25:29,350 --> 01:25:32,290
Why?
Look at me.
1604
01:25:32,590 --> 01:25:35,420
She would love me
if I were ugly.
1605
01:25:35,990 --> 01:25:38,820
- She said that?
- Yes. Now, go to her.
1606
01:25:40,090 --> 01:25:42,410
Nonsense. Do not
believe any such madness.
1607
01:25:42,440 --> 01:25:44,730
Go back to her.
You never will be ugly.
1608
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:45,810
Go!
It is you she loves.
1609
01:25:45,850 --> 01:25:46,870
That is what
we shall see.
1610
01:25:46,900 --> 01:25:47,840
No, no!
1611
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:49,480
- Let her chose between us.
- No.
1612
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:51,510
- Tell her everything.
- Why do you torture me?
1613
01:25:51,550 --> 01:25:54,700
Shall I ruin your happiness,
because I was born with a pretty face?
1614
01:25:54,740 --> 01:25:57,210
Am I to ruin yours,
because I happen to have power
1615
01:25:57,250 --> 01:25:58,750
to say what you perhaps feel?
1616
01:25:58,780 --> 01:26:00,910
- Tell her!
- Don't drive me too far!
1617
01:26:00,950 --> 01:26:03,210
- I'm tired of being my own rival.
- Hard to know.
1618
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:05,470
My secret marriage, that
can be annulled, I expect.
1619
01:26:05,500 --> 01:26:07,790
I want her love
for the poor fool than I am,
1620
01:26:07,860 --> 01:26:09,020
or not at all.
1621
01:26:09,390 --> 01:26:12,090
Oh, I'm going through with this.
I'll know one way or the other.
1622
01:26:12,870 --> 01:26:15,280
Now, go!....Tell her.
1623
01:26:15,480 --> 01:26:16,790
Let her chose one of us.
1624
01:26:17,570 --> 01:26:18,780
It will be you.
1625
01:26:19,670 --> 01:26:21,330
I hope so.
1626
01:26:33,070 --> 01:26:33,820
- Captain!
1627
01:26:36,570 --> 01:26:38,100
The Spanish fires are going out.
1628
01:26:41,030 --> 01:26:42,160
It begins.
1629
01:26:42,220 --> 01:26:44,140
I need a scout. Where's Cyrano.
1630
01:26:44,490 --> 01:26:45,280
Captain.
1631
01:26:45,850 --> 01:26:46,740
Let me go.
1632
01:26:46,780 --> 01:26:49,490
No, my boy, Cyrano knows
the terrain. He knows their lines.
1633
01:26:49,530 --> 01:26:51,550
So do I.
Please, allow me.
1634
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:56,070
Very well.
We must know from which
1635
01:26:56,110 --> 01:26:58,810
direction the advance comes.
Their weight and numbers.
1636
01:26:58,840 --> 01:26:59,560
I understand.
1637
01:27:11,940 --> 01:27:12,780
Roxane.
1638
01:27:13,430 --> 01:27:14,450
Cyrano.
1639
01:27:14,480 --> 01:27:15,930
Christian thinks...
1640
01:27:17,470 --> 01:27:19,190
Christian thinks you
ought to know that...
1641
01:27:19,220 --> 01:27:20,240
But I do know.
1642
01:27:20,770 --> 01:27:22,850
He still doubts what I
just told him, just now.
1643
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:23,860
I saw that.
1644
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:27,560
Yes, but,...was it true,
what you told him just now?
1645
01:27:27,590 --> 01:27:28,900
It was true.
1646
01:27:28,990 --> 01:27:32,270
I said that I should love him,
even if he were....
1647
01:27:33,020 --> 01:27:34,580
The word comes
hard before me?
1648
01:27:37,420 --> 01:27:38,860
Say it, I shall
not be hurt.
1649
01:27:39,370 --> 01:27:40,620
Ugly?
1650
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:42,130
Even, then
I should love him.
1651
01:27:43,500 --> 01:27:44,690
Disfigured.
1652
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:45,870
Or disfigured.
1653
01:27:46,480 --> 01:27:49,620
Even....grotesque.
1654
01:27:49,650 --> 01:27:51,350
How could he
every be grotesque,
1655
01:27:51,810 --> 01:27:52,950
ever to me?
1656
01:27:52,990 --> 01:27:55,580
But, you could love him so,
as much as?
1657
01:27:55,610 --> 01:27:56,790
Yes, and more.
1658
01:27:57,320 --> 01:27:58,320
Roxane...
1659
01:27:58,350 --> 01:27:59,300
(gunshot)
1660
01:27:59,340 --> 01:28:00,260
What is it?
1661
01:28:01,550 --> 01:28:02,600
Are they fighting?
1662
01:28:05,250 --> 01:28:06,510
What is happening?
1663
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:08,010
- The Spaniards advance,
1664
01:28:08,940 --> 01:28:09,930
but there is time.
1665
01:28:10,480 --> 01:28:12,370
- Where is Christian?
- At the parapet.
1666
01:28:12,820 --> 01:28:13,890
Oh, of course.
1667
01:28:14,930 --> 01:28:16,750
What is it
that you wish to tell me?
1668
01:28:16,780 --> 01:28:18,140
Roxane,...
1669
01:28:18,810 --> 01:28:21,690
believe me this is difficult,
and for once I lack words.
1670
01:28:24,690 --> 01:28:26,330
Christian asked me to...
1671
01:28:26,440 --> 01:28:27,850
He told me...
1672
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:38,220
Christian!
1673
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:42,970
To your places, gentlemen.
1674
01:28:43,970 --> 01:28:45,130
Is he dead?
1675
01:28:45,170 --> 01:28:46,260
No, but dying.
1676
01:28:46,300 --> 01:28:47,660
I will not let him!
1677
01:28:51,870 --> 01:28:54,530
Cyrano...did you?
1678
01:28:54,570 --> 01:28:56,610
Yes, my friend.
I have told her.
1679
01:28:58,350 --> 01:28:59,450
She loves you.
1680
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:02,190
Roxane.
1681
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:03,570
Yes, my darling.
1682
01:29:06,020 --> 01:29:07,320
Christian!
1683
01:29:08,170 --> 01:29:09,370
He is not dead?
1684
01:29:10,930 --> 01:29:11,830
Yes.
1685
01:29:12,310 --> 01:29:13,640
(gasp)
1686
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:22,890
Time you must go, now.
1687
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:25,860
Really, he is dead.
1688
01:29:25,890 --> 01:29:27,740
No one else
knew him but you.
1689
01:29:28,250 --> 01:29:29,630
Was he not a hero?
1690
01:29:29,670 --> 01:29:30,700
Yes, Roxane.
1691
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:33,340
A heart deeper
than we knew.
1692
01:29:33,380 --> 01:29:34,930
Yes, Roxane.
1693
01:29:35,010 --> 01:29:39,310
A poet.
A soul magnificently tender.
1694
01:29:41,750 --> 01:29:43,660
Yes, Roxane.
1695
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:46,740
But he is dead now.
1696
01:29:48,390 --> 01:29:50,030
(collapses sobbing)
1697
01:29:50,070 --> 01:29:51,230
Why, so am I.
1698
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:55,060
For I am dead
and my love mourns for me
1699
01:29:55,100 --> 01:29:56,550
and does not know.
1700
01:29:58,190 --> 01:29:59,530
Will never know.
1701
01:29:59,570 --> 01:30:00,990
(rapid gunfire)
1702
01:30:01,030 --> 01:30:02,410
(bugle calls)
1703
01:30:03,030 --> 01:30:04,030
Take her away quickly.
1704
01:30:05,670 --> 01:30:06,500
Wait.
1705
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:09,220
A letter over his heart.
1706
01:30:11,490 --> 01:30:12,850
(sobbing)
1707
01:30:16,740 --> 01:30:18,460
I have two deaths
to avenge, now,
1708
01:30:19,090 --> 01:30:22,670
Christian's...and my own.
1709
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:42,210
(fighting becomes intense)
1710
01:30:43,330 --> 01:30:46,820
(the Spanish army advances)
1711
01:30:49,450 --> 01:30:50,280
Fire!
1712
01:31:00,270 --> 01:31:02,810
Surrender or you die!
1713
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:51,720
(de Guiche)
Look! The signal!
1714
01:32:59,940 --> 01:33:00,940
Ah!
1715
01:33:07,070 --> 01:33:09,610
We fought. We died.
We fought again.
1716
01:33:09,750 --> 01:33:12,760
Who are these men who are
so fond of death, one Spaniard cried.
1717
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:14,440
On and on, they came.
1718
01:33:14,570 --> 01:33:17,210
Then, when all seemed lost,
we heard the trumpets
1719
01:33:17,250 --> 01:33:19,850
of our returning troops.
The battle was ours!
1720
01:33:20,690 --> 01:33:24,050
Ah, you have been fortunate,
Ms. de Bergerac, you have lived!
1721
01:33:24,090 --> 01:33:28,870
While we, we waste our youth.
There is no war and not hope for any.
1722
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:30,880
No hope for any?
1723
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:34,220
My fellow, I just realize,
we are both fools.
1724
01:33:34,630 --> 01:33:37,550
But mine is the greater folly,
for I am an older fool.
1725
01:33:38,170 --> 01:33:42,320
What is more......
Everything I told you was a lie.
1726
01:33:47,550 --> 01:33:49,680
Another satire
for the Gazette?
1727
01:33:49,710 --> 01:33:50,410
Yes.
1728
01:33:50,820 --> 01:33:53,480
Another glove flung
in the face of power?
1729
01:33:53,650 --> 01:33:55,400
Oh, why do you
do it, Cyrano?
1730
01:33:55,430 --> 01:33:57,860
- Why do you attack...
- Stupidity?
1731
01:33:57,880 --> 01:34:01,180
Deceit? Corruption?
I'm too old to change.
1732
01:34:01,370 --> 01:34:03,980
I'm an old dog
with nothing left but his teeth.
1733
01:34:04,010 --> 01:34:06,580
Ah, but teeth can be pulled.
That can be painful.
1734
01:34:10,440 --> 01:34:14,580
That insolent wretch.
That scoundrel de Bergerac.
1735
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:17,180
This time he's gone too far.
I swear it.
1736
01:34:17,210 --> 01:34:18,790
He's signed his death warrant.
1737
01:34:19,950 --> 01:34:21,730
And who will deliver it?
1738
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:25,040
His sword is still very
powerful, my friend.
1739
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:27,230
There are may ways
a man can die.
1740
01:34:27,990 --> 01:34:29,550
Who knows?
1741
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:31,430
He may meet
with an accident.
1742
01:34:32,550 --> 01:34:33,570
Soon.
1743
01:34:35,100 --> 01:34:38,710
(church chimes)
1744
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:46,060
But, uh, tell me, Madame.
1745
01:34:46,180 --> 01:34:50,830
How long will you continue
to remain here, forever in mourning?
1746
01:34:51,670 --> 01:34:52,570
Forever.
1747
01:34:53,060 --> 01:34:55,080
Was Christian all that?
1748
01:34:55,770 --> 01:34:57,400
If you knew him
you would not ask.
1749
01:34:57,950 --> 01:35:00,150
His last letter
is still in my heart.
1750
01:35:00,820 --> 01:35:04,770
And, uh, Cyrano?
Do you see him often?
1751
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:09,240
Every week. My old friend
takes the place of my Gazette.
1752
01:35:09,620 --> 01:35:11,320
He brings me all the news.
1753
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:14,940
Every Saturday under
that tree out there.
1754
01:35:14,980 --> 01:35:17,070
I wait for him embroidering.
1755
01:35:17,430 --> 01:35:20,240
The hour strikes.
I need not turn to look.
1756
01:35:20,570 --> 01:35:24,070
At the last stroke,
I hear his cane tapping the walk.
1757
01:35:24,100 --> 01:35:26,430
His satires have made
him many enemies.
1758
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:29,740
But, they still fear
that sword of his.
1759
01:35:30,330 --> 01:35:32,130
No one dare touch him.
1760
01:35:32,510 --> 01:35:33,670
Hm, that may be so.
1761
01:35:35,620 --> 01:35:38,160
It is not violence
I fear for him,
1762
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:42,560
but solitude, poverty.
Old gray Decembers
1763
01:35:42,590 --> 01:35:45,350
stealing on wolf's feet
into his darkened room.
1764
01:35:46,010 --> 01:35:48,230
It seems to me he's
worn the same old coat
1765
01:35:48,260 --> 01:35:49,610
for many months, now.
1766
01:35:49,650 --> 01:35:51,740
Eh, that is nothing
strange in this world.
1767
01:35:51,780 --> 01:35:53,820
You need not pity
him overmuch.
1768
01:35:53,860 --> 01:35:56,930
He lives his life,
his own life his own way,
1769
01:35:56,970 --> 01:36:00,300
thought, word and deed free.
1770
01:36:00,450 --> 01:36:01,610
My Lord Duke.
1771
01:36:01,750 --> 01:36:05,860
Oh, yes, I know.
I have all. He has nothing.
1772
01:36:06,370 --> 01:36:12,170
Nevertheless, today,
I should be proud to shake his hand.
1773
01:36:12,350 --> 01:36:14,000
Ah, well, adieu.
1774
01:36:14,670 --> 01:36:16,300
Will I ever see you again?
1775
01:36:16,340 --> 01:36:17,970
Come whenever you like.
1776
01:36:18,010 --> 01:36:19,610
Then, you have forgiven me.
1777
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:21,680
I am here.
1778
01:36:22,950 --> 01:36:25,380
Do you know?
When a man wins
1779
01:36:25,420 --> 01:36:29,750
everything in this world,
when he succeeds too much,
1780
01:36:29,790 --> 01:36:34,190
he feels, somehow,
a thousand small displeasures
1781
01:36:34,230 --> 01:36:38,560
with himself, whose whole sum
is not quite remorse
1782
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:45,570
but rather a sort of vague
disgust, dry illusions, pained regrets.
1783
01:36:45,870 --> 01:36:48,730
Yes, now and then,
I envy your Cyrano.
1784
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:50,860
The sentiment
does you honor.
1785
01:36:50,890 --> 01:36:52,250
(chuckling)
1786
01:36:59,350 --> 01:37:04,280
Madame, I must tell you,
it is true that no one has yet
1787
01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:06,490
dared to attack
your friend Cyrano.
1788
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:11,380
Nevertheless, at the theater
last night, I heard some things.
1789
01:37:12,260 --> 01:37:13,720
Keep him at home all you can.
1790
01:37:14,090 --> 01:37:17,330
Tomorrow when you see him,
tell him to be careful.
1791
01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:19,130
I thank you.
1792
01:37:32,050 --> 01:37:33,140
(Cyrano)
Good night, Ragueneau.
1793
01:37:33,180 --> 01:37:35,120
(Ragueneau)
Cyrano, you not leaving?
1794
01:37:35,150 --> 01:37:37,030
You will not have
dinner here with me?
1795
01:37:37,060 --> 01:37:38,860
(Cyrano)
My regrets. I have a magnificent
1796
01:37:38,900 --> 01:37:42,450
roast waiting for me, a rare wine,
a gift from my publisher.
1797
01:37:42,490 --> 01:37:43,890
(Ragueneau)
Fine, to be sure.
1798
01:37:44,650 --> 01:37:47,490
Uh, have you seen
Moliere's new play?
1799
01:37:47,530 --> 01:37:48,160
No.
1800
01:37:48,340 --> 01:37:49,650
Heh, ah, well....
1801
01:37:49,690 --> 01:37:50,580
What is it?
1802
01:37:50,610 --> 01:37:51,460
Well, he...
1803
01:37:51,500 --> 01:37:52,250
Speak.
1804
01:37:52,290 --> 01:37:55,220
He stole a scene
from you, word for word.
1805
01:37:55,250 --> 01:37:57,140
You know, "What the devil
was he doing there?"
1806
01:37:57,170 --> 01:37:57,730
That one.
1807
01:37:57,770 --> 01:37:59,040
He stole it, bodily.
1808
01:37:59,070 --> 01:38:01,300
Well, he showed
good taste.
1809
01:38:01,340 --> 01:38:03,020
It, uh, played well?
1810
01:38:03,060 --> 01:38:05,450
Oh, beautifully. They
laughed and laughed.
1811
01:38:05,480 --> 01:38:06,810
Oh, how they laughed.
1812
01:38:07,250 --> 01:38:08,560
Moliere has genius.
1813
01:38:09,370 --> 01:38:11,010
Christian had good looks.
1814
01:38:12,170 --> 01:38:13,610
With me, it was
always thus.
1815
01:38:16,050 --> 01:38:17,240
Good night, my friend.
1816
01:38:32,340 --> 01:38:32,950
(man)
Hold, there.
1817
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:33,950
(man)
You!
1818
01:38:35,650 --> 01:38:36,850
(Cyrano)
Are you addressing me?
1819
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:38,990
Yes, you, Monsieur
of the long nose.
1820
01:38:39,100 --> 01:38:40,000
Insolence.
1821
01:38:40,290 --> 01:38:41,990
- Foulmouthed scribbler.
- What?
1822
01:38:42,020 --> 01:38:43,440
- Lair, plagiarist!
- Liar.
1823
01:38:47,910 --> 01:38:49,660
(whistling to wagon)
1824
01:39:08,630 --> 01:39:10,920
(driver whips horses)
1825
01:39:27,570 --> 01:39:28,490
Doctor.
1826
01:39:29,930 --> 01:39:31,260
Why pretend?
1827
01:39:31,550 --> 01:39:32,910
It is very grave.
1828
01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:35,500
Keep him quiet
at all costs.
1829
01:39:35,540 --> 01:39:38,500
If he attempts
to rise, he will die.
1830
01:39:38,540 --> 01:39:39,810
Shhhh.
1831
01:39:43,220 --> 01:39:43,930
Thank you.
1832
01:39:44,980 --> 01:39:47,240
(door closes)
1833
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:55,820
(gate bell rings)
1834
01:39:59,820 --> 01:40:01,490
(gate opens)
1835
01:40:01,530 --> 01:40:03,170
Monsieur.
1836
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:03,860
Ah, Sister.
1837
01:40:09,810 --> 01:40:10,880
(gasp)
1838
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:12,350
What is the matter
with you?
1839
01:40:14,480 --> 01:40:15,900
Shall I tell you
something, Sister?
1840
01:40:16,540 --> 01:40:20,470
Yesterday, Friday, mind you,
I ate meat again.
1841
01:40:21,930 --> 01:40:23,000
Yes, I know.
1842
01:40:23,350 --> 01:40:25,080
That is why you
are so pale.
1843
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:27,930
Please come to me
to the refectory before you go.
1844
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,250
I'll make you a great
bowl of hot soup.
1845
01:40:30,280 --> 01:40:31,630
Of course, of course.
1846
01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:33,950
You're quite reasonable today.
1847
01:40:33,990 --> 01:40:36,120
Perhaps you'll convert me.
1848
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:38,260
Oh, no! Not for the world.
1849
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:40,690
Why, now I think of it,
that is so.
1850
01:40:41,070 --> 01:40:44,560
You, bursting with holiness,
and yet you never preach.
1851
01:40:45,470 --> 01:40:46,760
Astonishing.
1852
01:40:47,060 --> 01:40:49,100
And now I shall astonish you.
1853
01:40:49,690 --> 01:40:54,110
I'm going to let you
pray for me tonight, at Vespers.
1854
01:40:55,830 --> 01:40:58,700
Absolutely struck dumb, eh?
1855
01:41:02,550 --> 01:41:05,180
I did not wait for you
to say I might.
1856
01:41:14,930 --> 01:41:17,450
Now may the devil admire
me if never hope to see
1857
01:41:17,490 --> 01:41:19,570
the end of that embroidery.
1858
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:23,440
After 14 years,
late for the first time.
1859
01:41:23,480 --> 01:41:26,550
Yes.
Yes, maddening.
1860
01:41:27,330 --> 01:41:31,480
I was detained by
a visitor. Most unexpected.
1861
01:41:32,150 --> 01:41:33,660
An old friend of mine.
1862
01:41:34,540 --> 01:41:36,830
At least a very
old acquaintance.
1863
01:41:36,870 --> 01:41:38,320
Did you tell him
to go away?
1864
01:41:38,980 --> 01:41:40,410
For the time being, yes.
1865
01:41:40,440 --> 01:41:45,270
I said excuse me,
I see that it's Saturday,
1866
01:41:45,620 --> 01:41:48,200
I have a previous
engagement.
1867
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:49,620
One I cannot miss.
1868
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:52,340
Even for you.
1869
01:41:53,250 --> 01:41:55,310
Come back an hour from now.
1870
01:41:55,420 --> 01:41:59,170
Your friend will have to wait.
I shall not let you go till dark.
1871
01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:04,970
Perhaps a little before dark,
I must go.
1872
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:09,080
Oh, then tell me now
the court news. My Gazette.
1873
01:42:10,390 --> 01:42:14,190
Ah, yes, well, let me see.
1874
01:42:16,350 --> 01:42:20,840
Saturday, 19th, the King
fell ill after eight helpings of
1875
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:22,170
grape marmalade.
1876
01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:26,320
Grape marmalade will
no longer be served at court.
1877
01:42:28,190 --> 01:42:33,010
Sunday, the royal pulse
is now normal.
1878
01:42:34,630 --> 01:42:37,930
Monday, everyone was
talking about the success
1879
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:39,600
of Moliere's new play.
1880
01:42:40,830 --> 01:42:46,110
Tuesday, the King fell ill
after six helpings of marone glacee.
1881
01:42:47,910 --> 01:42:50,130
Marone glacee will no
longer be served at court.
1882
01:42:51,710 --> 01:42:55,700
Wednesday, the Compte de Firske
spoke to Madame de Monte Glas.
1883
01:42:56,500 --> 01:42:59,380
She said....no.
1884
01:43:01,480 --> 01:43:07,450
Thursday.... Nothing.
1885
01:43:07,490 --> 01:43:10,580
Friday, Madame de Monte Glas
said yes.
1886
01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:18,800
Saturday, 25th....
1887
01:43:19,450 --> 01:43:20,520
Cyrano!
1888
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:24,010
What is it?
Cyrano!
1889
01:43:28,660 --> 01:43:31,300
- Oh, no, no, it is nothing.
- What?
1890
01:43:31,750 --> 01:43:34,200
The old wound at Arras
sometimes...
1891
01:43:34,230 --> 01:43:36,980
- My poor friend.
- No, no, no, it is nothing.
1892
01:43:37,830 --> 01:43:39,350
It will soon be gone.
1893
01:43:41,010 --> 01:43:44,990
(gasp) There. 'Tis gone.
1894
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:48,480
We all have
our old wounds.
1895
01:43:49,020 --> 01:43:53,920
I have mine here,
under this faded scrap of writing.
1896
01:43:55,380 --> 01:43:57,340
It's hard to read now.
1897
01:43:58,370 --> 01:44:01,340
All for the blots
and tears.
1898
01:44:01,370 --> 01:44:02,560
His letter?
1899
01:44:03,480 --> 01:44:06,650
Did you not promise me,
that someday you would let me read it?
1900
01:44:07,090 --> 01:44:12,350
- This letter? You wish...?
- I do wish it....today.
1901
01:44:22,650 --> 01:44:24,230
Open it and read.
1902
01:44:49,700 --> 01:44:54,660
"Farewell, Roxane,
because today I die."
1903
01:44:54,690 --> 01:44:56,000
Aloud?
1904
01:44:57,180 --> 01:45:00,150
"I know that it will be today,
my own dearly beloved.
1905
01:45:01,630 --> 01:45:04,900
"Yet, my heart still so heavy
with love I have not told.
1906
01:45:06,440 --> 01:45:11,330
"And I shall die without telling you.
1907
01:45:11,900 --> 01:45:15,740
"No more shall my eyes
drink the sight of you like wine,
1908
01:45:16,230 --> 01:45:19,180
"never more with a look
that is a kiss,
1909
01:45:19,740 --> 01:45:22,430
"follow the sweet
grace of you."
1910
01:45:22,470 --> 01:45:24,400
How you read it.
His letter.
1911
01:45:24,440 --> 01:45:26,300
"I remember now the way you have
1912
01:45:26,340 --> 01:45:30,280
"of pushing back a lock of hair
with one hand from your forehead,
1913
01:45:30,860 --> 01:45:33,270
- "and my heart cries out..."
- His letter!
1914
01:45:33,310 --> 01:45:35,000
- "cries out and keeps crying."
1915
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:38,240
- You read it so...
- "Farewell, my dear, my dearest,"
1916
01:45:38,270 --> 01:45:40,650
- In a voice...
- "my own heart's own,"
1917
01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:44,230
- "my own treasure,"
- In such a voice!
- "my...love."
1918
01:45:44,260 --> 01:45:47,140
Yes, I remember hearing long ago.
1919
01:45:47,490 --> 01:45:52,210
"I am never away from you.
Even now I shall not leave you.
1920
01:45:53,110 --> 01:45:56,360
"In another world, I shall
still be that one who loves you,
1921
01:45:56,390 --> 01:46:00,110
"loves you beyond measure,
beyond..."
1922
01:46:09,180 --> 01:46:11,130
But, how can you read it now?
1923
01:46:14,420 --> 01:46:17,810
And all those 14 years
he has been the old friend
1924
01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:19,650
who came to me to be amusing.
1925
01:46:20,930 --> 01:46:23,170
- Roxane.
- It was you.
1926
01:46:23,910 --> 01:46:24,880
No, no, Roxane, no.
1927
01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:28,100
And I might have know it every time
that I heard you speak my name.
1928
01:46:28,130 --> 01:46:31,690
- No, it was not I.
- It was you!
- I swear.
1929
01:46:32,460 --> 01:46:34,810
- The letters. That was you.
- No.
1930
01:46:35,140 --> 01:46:38,960
- And the dear foolish words.
That was you.
- No.
1931
01:46:39,190 --> 01:46:43,290
- And the voice in the dark.
That was you.
- On my honor!
1932
01:46:43,330 --> 01:46:47,170
And the soul.
It was all you.
1933
01:46:47,270 --> 01:46:49,180
I never loved you.
1934
01:46:49,350 --> 01:46:50,850
Yes, you loved me.
1935
01:46:50,970 --> 01:46:52,740
Even now you love me.
1936
01:46:53,660 --> 01:46:55,610
(gasp)
No!
1937
01:46:55,650 --> 01:46:57,920
And twice you're great to know.
1938
01:46:57,950 --> 01:47:00,760
Oh, no, no, my own dear love,
I love you not.
1939
01:47:03,340 --> 01:47:05,840
Why were you silent
for so many years?
1940
01:47:06,580 --> 01:47:07,860
All the while.
1941
01:47:08,090 --> 01:47:11,110
Every night, and every day,
he gave me nothing.
1942
01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:13,120
You knew that.
1943
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:16,680
You knew in that letter
lying on my breast.
1944
01:47:17,940 --> 01:47:19,230
Your tears.
1945
01:47:20,580 --> 01:47:22,770
You knew they
were your tears.
1946
01:47:26,390 --> 01:47:28,270
The blood was his.
1947
01:47:29,370 --> 01:47:30,200
Cyrano!
1948
01:47:32,690 --> 01:47:34,320
Here! He's here.
1949
01:47:34,490 --> 01:47:36,270
Oh, what recklessness.
1950
01:47:36,310 --> 01:47:36,570
No.
1951
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:37,430
I knew it!
1952
01:47:37,490 --> 01:47:40,440
- Oh Madame he has killed
himself coming here.
- No. Shh.
1953
01:47:40,700 --> 01:47:42,220
That drink is, what is it?
1954
01:47:42,290 --> 01:47:45,510
Nothing. I did not
finish my Gazette.
1955
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:49,970
Saturday, 26th, an hour
or so before dinner
1956
01:47:50,540 --> 01:47:55,340
Ms. de Bergerac died,
foully murdered.
1957
01:47:55,690 --> 01:47:57,470
Cyrano, what have
they done to you?
1958
01:47:57,600 --> 01:47:59,540
How fate loves a jest.
1959
01:47:59,980 --> 01:48:03,000
Behold me ambushed,
taken unawares.
1960
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:08,830
My noble foe, a lackey.
My battlefield, a gutter.
1961
01:48:09,490 --> 01:48:10,950
It seems too logical.
1962
01:48:11,370 --> 01:48:13,040
They have missed everything,
1963
01:48:13,820 --> 01:48:15,290
even my death.
1964
01:48:16,330 --> 01:48:17,950
Sisters! Sisters!
1965
01:48:17,990 --> 01:48:21,350
No, do not go away.
I may not be here when you return.
1966
01:48:22,030 --> 01:48:23,760
You shall not die.
1967
01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:25,460
(sobbing)
I love you.
1968
01:48:25,490 --> 01:48:27,410
No, my lady,
it's not in the story.
1969
01:48:28,100 --> 01:48:29,900
When beauty said
I love you to the beast
1970
01:48:29,930 --> 01:48:32,990
all his ugliness changed
and dissolved, like magic.
1971
01:48:33,550 --> 01:48:37,370
But, you see,
I am still the same.
1972
01:48:37,440 --> 01:48:39,430
And I have
done this to you.
1973
01:48:39,470 --> 01:48:40,620
You? Why no.
1974
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:42,060
All my fault, mine!
1975
01:48:42,100 --> 01:48:43,320
On the contrary.
1976
01:48:44,060 --> 01:48:47,080
I have never know womanhood
in its sweetness, but for you.
1977
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:50,750
My mother did not
like to look at me.
1978
01:48:52,050 --> 01:48:53,530
I never had a sister.
1979
01:48:54,880 --> 01:49:01,130
Later, I feared those sweethearts
with mockery behind her smile.
1980
01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:06,150
But, because of you,
I have had across my life
1981
01:49:06,930 --> 01:49:10,600
one whispering, silken gown.
1982
01:49:12,780 --> 01:49:15,200
I never loved but
one man in my life.
1983
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:18,680
I have lost him, twice.
1984
01:49:19,660 --> 01:49:23,540
(sobbing)
1985
01:49:23,570 --> 01:49:27,890
I would not have you mourning
any less that good, noble Christian.
1986
01:49:28,980 --> 01:49:32,570
But, perhaps, I ask only this,
1987
01:49:34,100 --> 01:49:36,370
when the great cold
gathers around my bones,
1988
01:49:37,770 --> 01:49:42,590
you may give a double
meaning to your widow's weeds.
1989
01:49:43,910 --> 01:49:50,900
The tears you let fall for him,
may for a little, be my tears.
1990
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:53,040
Oh, my love!
1991
01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:58,400
No, not here.
Not lying down.
1992
01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:01,300
Let no one help me.
No one need help me.
1993
01:50:06,310 --> 01:50:07,430
It is coming.
1994
01:50:08,260 --> 01:50:11,460
I feel already shod with marble.
1995
01:50:12,720 --> 01:50:13,950
Gloved with lead.
1996
01:50:14,730 --> 01:50:16,700
Very well,
let the old fellow come now.
1997
01:50:17,190 --> 01:50:19,600
He shall find me
on my feet.
1998
01:50:21,670 --> 01:50:23,120
Sword in hand.
1999
01:50:23,160 --> 01:50:24,110
Cyrano!
2000
01:50:24,500 --> 01:50:25,890
He'd delirious.
2001
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:28,000
I see him now.
2002
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:28,700
He grins.
2003
01:50:28,740 --> 01:50:30,750
He is looking at my nose!
2004
01:50:30,790 --> 01:50:31,820
That skeleton.
2005
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:33,730
You there.
2006
01:50:33,970 --> 01:50:34,670
Who are you?
2007
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:36,950
A hundred against one, eh?
2008
01:50:37,300 --> 01:50:40,020
I know them now,
my ancient enemies.
2009
01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:40,960
Falsehood, there!
2010
01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:42,470
There, Prejudice!
2011
01:50:42,490 --> 01:50:44,100
Compromise, Cowardice.
2012
01:50:44,580 --> 01:50:47,160
What's that?
Surrender? No, never!
2013
01:50:47,190 --> 01:50:48,430
Never!
2014
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:50,820
Ah, you too, Vanity.
2015
01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:54,180
I knew you would
overthrow me in the end.
2016
01:50:54,210 --> 01:50:57,310
No, I fight, I fight on,
I fight....ow!
2017
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:01,000
(gasping)
2018
01:51:06,540 --> 01:51:08,550
All my laurels
you have riven away.
2019
01:51:10,290 --> 01:51:11,770
And my roses.
2020
01:51:12,940 --> 01:51:15,600
Yet, in spite of you,
there is one crown
2021
01:51:15,630 --> 01:51:16,980
I made away with me.
2022
01:51:17,020 --> 01:51:20,380
And tonight when I
enter before God,
2023
01:51:21,850 --> 01:51:27,140
my salute shall sweep away
the stars from the blue threshold.
2024
01:51:28,310 --> 01:51:33,240
One thing without stain,
unspotted from the world,
2025
01:51:34,240 --> 01:51:40,610
in spite of doom, mine own,
...and that is...
2026
01:51:43,220 --> 01:51:51,220
my...white...plume...

In seventeenth-century Paris, poet and supreme swordsman Cyrano de Bergerac (José Ferrer) stops a play from being shown because he ostensibly cannot stand the bombastic style of the principal actor, Montfleury (Arthur Blake). An annoyed aristocratic fop, the Vicomte de Valvert (Albert Cavens), provokes him into a duel by tritely insulting Cyrano's enormous nose. Cyrano first mocks his lack of wit, improvising numerous inventive ways in which Valvert could have phrased it (much to the amusement of the audience). He then composes a ballade for the occasion on the spot and recites it during the sword fight. With the last line, he stabs his opponent.
Cyrano's friend Le Bret (Morris Carnovsky), Captain of the Gascony Guards, warns him he has made powerful enemies of his victim's friends, but he is unconcerned. When Le Bret presses him to reveal the real reason he hates Montfleury, Cyrano admits that he became jealous when he saw the actor smiling at his beautiful cousin Roxane (Mala Powers). He confesses that he is in love with her, but harbors no hope of it being returned because of his nose. When he receives a request from Roxane to see her in the morning, he is finally emboldened to act.
Then pastry chef and fellow poet Ragueneau (Lloyd Corrigan) approaches him for help. Ragueneau has learned that a nobleman he had mocked with his verses, the Comte De Guiche (Ralph Clanton), has hired a hundred ruffians to teach him a lesson. Cyrano escorts him, kills eight of the horde, and drives off the rest.
The next day, before he can tell Roxane of his feelings, she informs him that she has fallen in love with a handsome guardsman, Christian de Neuvillette (William Prince), though she has not even spoken to him. Cyrano hides his devastation and agrees to help her.
Cyrano befriends the young man, who is in Cyrano's guards' unit, and discovers that he is infatuated with Roxane, but is too inept with words to woo her. To help him, Cyrano composes Christian's love letters to Roxane, which she finds irresistible. Later, Christian decides he wants no more help and tries to speak to Roxane face to face, but fails miserably and she re-enters her house in an angry huff. Cyrano, hiding in the bushes, comes to his rescue, but this time by imitating Christian's voice and speaking to Roxane from under her balcony. He is so eloquent that he (unintentionally) wins a kiss for Christian from Roxane.
When the arrogant Comte De Guiche, who is also wooing Roxane, pressures her to marry him, Cyrano delays him long enough for her to wed Christian instead. Furious, De Guiche, Christian's commander, orders him to join his unit immediately for a war against the Spanish, preventing the couple from spending their wedding night together.
With Cyrano under his command as well, De Guiche earns the swordsman's respect by his conduct in the war. From the field, Cyrano sends Roxane letters every day, supposedly written by Christian. Roxane visits her husband in camp and tells him that she now has fallen in love with him not merely for his looks but because of his words, and would love him even if he were ugly. Realizing that she really loves Cyrano, Christian gets his rival to agree to tell Roxane the truth and let her decide between them. But before the opportunity arises, Christian volunteers for a dangerous mission and is fatally wounded, silencing Cyrano.
Roxane enters a convent in mourning. Years pass, with Cyrano visiting Roxane weekly, having retired from the military and writing satirical articles mocking the nobility. De Guiche, who has also befriended her and has come to respect Cyrano, has overheard a courtier plotting against Cyrano. De Guiche warns Roxane that Cyrano's life may be in danger. One night, Cyrano is lured into an ambush; the poet is run down by a carriage. Near death, he hides his injuries and goes to keep his appointment with Roxane for the last time. His secret love for Roxane is finally revealed when he recites from memory the last of his love letters, which she has kept, but it is too late. Cyrano first slips into delirium, then dies, leaving Roxane to mourn a second time.

<i>where balmy zephyrs

6
00:02:37,660 --> 00:02:41,460
- Clown! The king of clowns!
Leave the stage at once!
7
00:02:43,970 --> 00:02:44,620
- Who is it?
8
00:02:44,650 --> 00:02:47,570
It's Cyrano.
I was afraid he'd do this.
9
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,250
<i>Thrice happy he
who hides from pomp and power...</i>
10
00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:54,910
- Wretch! Did I not forbid
you to appear this month?
11
00:02:57,940 --> 00:02:59,260
- Let's be quiet.
- Quiet!
12
00:03:00,190 --> 00:03:01,380
- Go on Montfleury.
13
00:03:04,270 --> 00:03:06,400
<i>Thrice happy he who...</i>
14
00:03:06,430 --> 00:03:07,630
- He who, indeed.
15
00:03:07,660 --> 00:03:10,730
- Donkeys say rather Hee-Haw!
16
00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:17,790
Begone! Or must I come and
help you off the stage myself?
17
00:03:21,130 --> 00:03:24,000
What! Still there?
18
00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:28,220
<i>Where balmy zephyrs
fan his burning cheeks... </i>
19
00:03:28,250 --> 00:03:32,050
Fat swine, if you dare breathe
on balmy zephyr more
20
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,640
I'll fan your cheeks
for you!
21
00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:36,480
Monsieur, won't you all
protect me?
22
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,090
- Proceed, proceed.
- Go on.
23
00:03:38,130 --> 00:03:40,880
Sir, I will not allow you
to insult me in this manner.
24
00:03:40,910 --> 00:03:43,520
Really?
What manner would you prefer?
25
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:44,850
Quiet, down there!
26
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,940
- We'll tolerate
no more of this.
27
00:03:47,870 --> 00:03:49,720
Go on with the play,
Montfleury.
28
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:52,380

Unless these gentlemen
retain your seats
30
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,790
my sword may
bite their ribbons.
31
00:03:56,830 --> 00:03:58,650
Who is this braggart?
32
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,070
My cousin, sir.
33
00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:04,710
Well, Montfleury,
still no exit?
34
00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:06,930
- Very well then,
I enter
35
00:04:06,970 --> 00:04:11,740
with knife, to carve
this fat, stuffed goose.
36
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:14,800
(ominous music begins)

00:04:20,030 --> 00:04:22,170
I pray, do not crowd
my scabbard here.
39
00:04:22,210 --> 00:04:24,320
She may put her
tongue out at you.
40
00:04:24,350 --> 00:04:27,140
(shouted recriminations)
41
00:04:29,870 --> 00:04:30,990
Silence.
42
00:04:31,910 --> 00:04:33,830
I say be silent!
43
00:04:35,450 --> 00:04:38,260
And I offer one universal
challenge to you all:
44
00:04:38,460 --> 00:04:41,410
Will all who wish to die,
please raise their hands.
45
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,360
Approach, young heroes.
I will take your names.
46
00:04:45,140 --> 00:04:47,830
To the first man who falls
I'll build a monument.
47
00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:49,710
Who will head the list?
48
00:04:50,010 --> 00:04:50,780
You, sir?
49
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,000
No.
50
00:04:52,830 --> 00:04:53,610
You?
51
00:04:54,470 --> 00:04:55,170
No, no.
52
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,770
Anyone?
53
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,600
Anyone at all?
54
00:05:01,110 --> 00:05:03,550
Not one...name?
55
00:05:04,260 --> 00:05:06,420
Not one finger?
56
00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:10,260
Very well then,
I go on.
57
00:05:16,130 --> 00:05:18,810
Attend to me, Full Moon.
58
00:05:21,340 --> 00:05:24,190
I clap my hands three times, thus.
59
00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:26,740
(three claps)
60
00:05:26,770 --> 00:05:30,320
At the third, you will...
eclipse yourself.
61
00:05:30,490 --> 00:05:31,390
Ready!
62
00:05:32,110 --> 00:05:32,910
One.
63
00:05:34,010 --> 00:05:34,900
(clap)
64
00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:36,070
How dare you.
65
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:37,210
I demand!
66
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,070
I insist.
67
00:05:38,110 --> 00:05:40,150
- I call upon all the nobles...
- Two!
68
00:05:41,010 --> 00:05:42,080
(clap)
69
00:05:42,110 --> 00:05:43,090
This is an outrage.
70
00:05:43,130 --> 00:05:44,040
You hear, an outrage.
71
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:46,620
Nothing on earth
will move me from this stage.
72
00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:48,800
Three!
73
00:05:49,570 --> 00:05:49,910
(clap)
74
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:55,410
(laughter)
75
00:05:56,260 --> 00:05:59,210
Fair ladies and noble gentlemen...
- Boo!
76
00:05:59,250 --> 00:06:02,560
(laughter)
77
00:06:02,950 --> 00:06:04,210
But, Monsieur de Bergerac,
78
00:06:04,250 --> 00:06:07,490
why have you done this
to our Montfleury, an admirable actor?
79
00:06:07,530 --> 00:06:10,090
I have two reasons,
either one conclusive.
80
00:06:10,670 --> 00:06:12,800
First, he is an
abominable actor,
81
00:06:12,830 --> 00:06:15,870
who mouths his verse
and moans his tragedy.
82
00:06:16,350 --> 00:06:17,630
Second,....
83
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:20,970
Well, that's my secret.
84
00:06:22,530 --> 00:06:25,280
But...
But you've closed the play!
85
00:06:25,310 --> 00:06:26,880
It is not a very good play.
86
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:28,970
Huh!
And of their money?
87
00:06:29,010 --> 00:06:31,080
Possibly you would like
that returned to these good people.
88
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:31,960
Yes?
89
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,360
Yes.
90
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:35,830
Here,...catch!
91
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:37,920
(crowd murmurs)
92
00:06:38,410 --> 00:06:41,960
Well, Monsieur, you are hereby
authorized to close our play every night.
93
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,200
On these terms.
94
00:06:43,230 --> 00:06:43,740
(laughter)
95
00:06:43,780 --> 00:06:46,400
Ladies and gentlemen,
your money will be returned.
96
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,250
Kindly pass out, quietly.
97
00:06:48,290 --> 00:06:50,030
Goodnight, goodnight.
98
00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:53,220
(crowd accepts
in good spirits)
99
00:06:55,740 --> 00:06:57,120
(until...)
100
00:06:59,530 --> 00:07:02,610
Your cousin is an
extraordinary man, Madame.
101
00:07:02,650 --> 00:07:04,080
Oh, I agree.
102
00:07:04,410 --> 00:07:08,550
Soldier, poet, philosopher,
musician, playwright.
103
00:07:08,580 --> 00:07:09,570
All those?
104
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,360
Yes, and the best
swordsman in Paris.
105
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,310
Really?
106
00:07:14,340 --> 00:07:17,060
Now, I should have thought
the Vicomte here had that honor.
107
00:07:17,310 --> 00:07:21,360
Tell me, Madame, that
comic mask, that nose,
108
00:07:21,390 --> 00:07:23,300
presently he will take it off?
109
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:25,950
No, Monsieur, he keeps it.
110
00:07:26,450 --> 00:07:29,350
And heaven help
the man who smiles.
111
00:07:29,850 --> 00:07:31,060
Good night.
112
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,880
Oh, Monsieur!
113
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,980
Monsieur!
114
00:07:40,020 --> 00:07:42,710
Uh, when do you leave Paris?
115
00:07:43,210 --> 00:07:44,100
Sir?
116
00:07:44,250 --> 00:07:46,280
Why, after what you've
just done to Montfleury,
117
00:07:46,310 --> 00:07:48,750
did you not know that
the Compte de Guiche was his patron?
118
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:50,190
Who's yours?
119
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:52,140
No one.
120
00:07:52,170 --> 00:07:52,940
No one?
121
00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:53,870
No patron?
122
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:54,630
I said not.
123
00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:56,900
But the Compte de Guiche
has a long arm.
124
00:07:56,930 --> 00:07:58,900
Mine is longer
by three feet of steel.
125
00:07:59,530 --> 00:08:00,180
Yes, but..
126
00:08:00,860 --> 00:08:02,160
but, what a scare...
127
00:08:02,190 --> 00:08:02,990
You may go now.
128
00:08:03,020 --> 00:08:04,510
- but...
- You may go.
129
00:08:05,810 --> 00:08:08,620
Well, tell me,
why are you staring at my nose?
130
00:08:08,650 --> 00:08:10,160
Oh, I was not staring.
131
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:11,630
Does it astonish you?
132
00:08:11,660 --> 00:08:13,920
Why n...Why no, I've been careful
not to look.
133
00:08:13,950 --> 00:08:15,510
Oh, and why not, if you please?
134
00:08:15,550 --> 00:08:16,730
It disgusts you, then?
135
00:08:16,770 --> 00:08:17,880
But, no, I just...
136
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,700
Does its color appear
to you unwholesome?
137
00:08:19,730 --> 00:08:20,480
By no means.
138
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,310
Then, possibly you find it
just a trifle large?
139
00:08:22,340 --> 00:08:24,500
No, small, very small, tiny!
140
00:08:24,530 --> 00:08:25,640
Infinitesimal!
141
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,960
What?
You accuse me of absurdity?
142
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,730
Small, my nose?
Why magnificent, my nose!
143
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,900
You pug, you knob,
you button head,
144
00:08:34,930 --> 00:08:37,170
know that I glory
in this nose of mine!
145
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,400
For a great nose
indicates a great man,
146
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:45,440
congenial, courteous,
intellectual, virile, courageous.
147
00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:48,050
Whilst that face of yours,
148
00:08:48,370 --> 00:08:54,070
that blank, inglorious concavity
which my right hand finds on top of you,
149
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:59,630
is as devoid of pride, of poetry,
of soul, of picturesqueness,
150
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:04,810
of contour, of character,
of nose, in short,
151
00:09:04,850 --> 00:09:09,740
as that which is at the bottom of
that limp spine of yours my left foot...
- Oh, help!
152
00:09:09,780 --> 00:09:11,550
(laughter)
153
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:13,840
Presently, this fellow
will grow tiresome.
154
00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:16,590
Oh, he blows his horn.
155
00:09:17,330 --> 00:09:19,800
- Well, will no one
put him in his place?
156
00:09:20,270 --> 00:09:22,660
If you would all me.
Observe.
157
00:09:25,090 --> 00:09:31,260
Monsieur, your nose,
your nose is rather large.
158
00:09:34,450 --> 00:09:35,400
Rather?
159
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,350
Oh, well.
160
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:37,620
Is that all?
161
00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:38,540
Well, of course, you...
162
00:09:38,570 --> 00:09:40,400
Ah, no young sir, you're too simple.
163
00:09:40,430 --> 00:09:42,620
Why, you might have
said a great many things.
164
00:09:42,650 --> 00:09:44,800
Why waste your opportunity?
165
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:45,860
For example, thus...
166
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:47,450
Aggressive---
167
00:09:47,490 --> 00:09:51,040
I, sir, if that great nose were mine,
I would have it amputated on the spot.
168
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:52,710
Practical---
169
00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:56,570
How do you drink with such a nose.
You must have had a cup made especially.
170
00:09:56,850 --> 00:09:57,880
Descriptive---
171
00:09:57,910 --> 00:10:00,570
'Tis a rock, a crag, a cape.
172
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,510
A cape, say rather, a peninsula.
173
00:10:05,890 --> 00:10:06,990
Inquisitive---
174
00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:11,400
Uh, what is that receptacle,
a razor case or a portfolio?
175
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,680
Kindly---
176
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,840
Ah, do you love the little birds so much
that when they come and sing to you,
177
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,690
you give them this to perch on?
178
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,570
Cautious---
179
00:10:20,610 --> 00:10:24,120
Take care. A weight like that
might make you top-heavy.
180
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,250
Eloquent---
181
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,510
When it blows the typhoon howls
and the clouds darken.
182
00:10:29,580 --> 00:10:30,400
Dramatic---
183
00:10:30,430 --> 00:10:34,690
When it bleeds...the Red Sea.
184
00:10:35,540 --> 00:10:36,530
Simple---
185
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:39,640
Eh, when do they
unveil the monument?
186
00:10:40,020 --> 00:10:40,900
Military---
187
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:43,510
Beware, a secret weapon!
188
00:10:44,290 --> 00:10:45,620
Enterprising---
189
00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:48,080
What a sigh for some perfumer!
190
00:10:48,490 --> 00:10:49,300
Respectful---
191
00:10:49,330 --> 00:10:52,050
Uh sir, I recognize in you
a man of parts,
192
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,740
a man of...prominence.
193
00:10:54,770 --> 00:10:56,500
Or, Literary---
194
00:10:56,530 --> 00:10:59,360
Was this the nose
that launched a thousand ships?
195
00:11:00,010 --> 00:11:02,850
These, my dear sir, are things
you might have said had you
196
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,690
some tinge of letters or of wit
to color your discourse.
197
00:11:05,810 --> 00:11:07,970
Bit wit not so.
You never had an atom.
198
00:11:08,270 --> 00:11:14,480
And of letters, you need
but three to write you down, a..s..s.
199
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:16,530
Ass.
200
00:11:16,570 --> 00:11:18,040
- (laughter)
- You, sir!
201
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,600
Dolt! Bumpkin! Fool!
202
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:26,620
How do you do, and I,
Cyrano Savinien Hercule de Bergerac.
203
00:11:26,650 --> 00:11:28,050
Vicomte, come.
204
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,650
Such arrogance.
This scarecrow who...
205
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:31,850
Look at him!
206
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,120
No ribbons. No lace.
Not even gloves!
207
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,700
True. I carry my adornments
only on my soul.
208
00:11:39,740 --> 00:11:41,860
Decked with deeds
instead of ribbons.
209
00:11:41,890 --> 00:11:43,420
Mantled in my good name,
210
00:11:43,460 --> 00:11:45,350
and crowned with a
white plume of freedom.
211
00:11:45,380 --> 00:11:46,130
But..
212
00:11:46,170 --> 00:11:47,510
But, I have no gloves.
213
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:48,630
A pity, too.
214
00:11:48,670 --> 00:11:51,630
I had one, the last one of an old pair,
and lost that.
215
00:11:51,660 --> 00:11:53,250
Very careless of me.
216
00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:55,750
Some gentleman offered me
an impertinence.
217
00:11:55,790 --> 00:11:59,840
I left it in his face.
218
00:11:59,870 --> 00:12:00,840
So be it!
219
00:12:02,110 --> 00:12:05,050
You shall die exquisitely
220
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,160
Oh, a poet.
221
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,640
Oh, yes, a poet if you will.
222
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:11,510
So, uh, while we fight,
I'll improvise a ballad for you,
223
00:12:11,540 --> 00:12:15,270
and as I end the refrain,
...skhrch!...thrust home.
224
00:12:15,310 --> 00:12:16,280
Will you?
225
00:12:17,180 --> 00:12:18,130
I will.
226
00:12:21,820 --> 00:12:23,420
(excited crowd)
227
00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:26,890
Ballad au Duel
at the Theatre de Burgoyne
228
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,320
between de Bergerac,
and uh.....a barbarian.
229
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,240
What do you mean by that?
230
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,000
Oh, that?
231
00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:34,960
The title.
232
00:12:34,990 --> 00:12:36,570
(laughter)
233
00:12:36,610 --> 00:12:38,200
Stop. Let me choose my rhyme.
234
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:47,640
So. Here we go.
235
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:50,070
Lightly I toss my hat away.
236
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:55,440
Languidly o'er my arm let fall
the cloak that covers my bright array.
237
00:12:55,510 --> 00:13:00,770
Then, out swords,
and to work withal.
238
00:13:02,660 --> 00:13:05,720
A Lancelot in his lady's hall,
239
00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:10,580
A Spartacus at the Hippodrome,
240
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,340
I dally a while with you..
241
00:13:13,380 --> 00:13:14,750
you jackall.
242
00:13:32,810 --> 00:13:34,360
Just as I end the refrain,
243
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,380
thrust home!
244
00:13:51,290 --> 00:13:54,220
Where shall I skewer my peacock again?
245
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,160
Nay, better for you
to have shunned this brawl.
246
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,010
Here in the heart
or your ribbons, gay,
247
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,610
in the belly
'neath you silken shawl?
248
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,130
Now, come my points floats,
light as the foam
249
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,640
ready to drive you
back to the wall,
250
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:20,030
and then as I end the refrain,
251
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,440
thrust home.
252
00:14:21,930 --> 00:14:23,210
Oh, for a rhyme.
253
00:14:23,580 --> 00:14:25,060
Why, your fight is fading.
254
00:14:25,420 --> 00:14:26,040
You break.
255
00:14:26,350 --> 00:14:26,970
You cower.
256
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:27,600
You cringe.
257
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:28,200
You crawl.
258
00:14:29,310 --> 00:14:30,740
How can I tell
you're allowed to say
259
00:14:30,780 --> 00:14:31,750
something to turn on my head
260
00:14:31,790 --> 00:14:32,720
forestall.....
261
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:33,660
Life with a tunny
262
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:34,970
death with a scall.
263
00:14:35,010 --> 00:14:36,760
Something to turn on my fancy roam,
264
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,670
free for a time till the rhyme's recall,
265
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,620
then as I end the refrain,
266
00:14:40,650 --> 00:14:41,620
thrust home!
267
00:14:43,810 --> 00:14:44,670
Refrain.
268
00:14:45,550 --> 00:14:48,960
Prince,
pray God that is Lord of all,
269
00:14:48,990 --> 00:14:50,840
pardon you soul,
270
00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:54,190
for your time has come.
271
00:14:56,860 --> 00:14:58,820
Pass! I fling you aslant, asprawl.
272
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:00,590
Then as I end the refrain,
273
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,680
thrust home!
274
00:15:41,820 --> 00:15:45,390
(shouts of hurray
and congratulation)
275
00:15:47,130 --> 00:15:49,470
Ladies and gentlemen,
please, please,
276
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:50,790
not until the performance is over.
277
00:15:51,070 --> 00:15:51,980
Close the house.
278
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:52,820
A strike,
279
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,340
but leave the lights.
280
00:15:54,380 --> 00:15:56,070
We rehearse the new
farce tonight.
281
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,240
Wait.
282
00:16:04,110 --> 00:16:05,570
You have only to watch a fight,
283
00:16:05,610 --> 00:16:07,530
or have you ruined
if you listen to them.
284
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:11,570
Think of the enemies you've made,
285
00:16:11,610 --> 00:16:14,050
Montfleury, the Vicomte,
if he lives,
286
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,380
all those foppish marquis,
the Comte de Guiche.
287
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:18,970
That politician.
288
00:16:19,010 --> 00:16:21,910
He's the Cardinal's nephew.
There's power there!
289
00:16:21,950 --> 00:16:23,330
And power here.
290
00:16:23,370 --> 00:16:24,680
Young fool!
291
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,540
Take an example from me.
292
00:16:26,570 --> 00:16:29,810
20 years a captain,
while others who know only
293
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,750
how to deploy their
forces at court
294
00:16:31,780 --> 00:16:33,890
now dangle a marshal's baton.
295
00:16:33,930 --> 00:16:37,360
Well, uh, someday
I will avenge you, too.
296
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,530
Impossible.
Come on, let's go to dinner.
297
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,830
Dinner?
No, not I.
298
00:16:41,860 --> 00:16:42,540
Why not?
299
00:16:42,580 --> 00:16:44,530
Because I have no money.
300
00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:46,150
But, the purse of gold.
301
00:16:46,180 --> 00:16:48,140
Farewell paternal pension.
302
00:16:48,180 --> 00:16:51,430
And you have
until the first of next month?
303
00:16:51,470 --> 00:16:52,310
Nothing.
304
00:16:53,140 --> 00:16:54,460
What a fool.
305
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:56,770
Yes, but, what a moment.
306
00:16:56,810 --> 00:16:57,670
- Pardon, Monsieur.
307
00:17:00,010 --> 00:17:01,770
A man ought
never to go hungry.
308
00:17:02,690 --> 00:17:04,150
I have everything here.
309
00:17:05,490 --> 00:17:06,360
Please.
310
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,080
My dear child, I cannot bend this Gascon
pride of mine to accept such a kindness.
311
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:11,820
But, I...
312
00:17:12,910 --> 00:17:15,810
Yet, for fear that
I may give you pain if I refuse,
313
00:17:16,550 --> 00:17:18,190
I will take something.
314
00:17:19,630 --> 00:17:20,660
A grape.
315
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:25,160
One only.
316
00:17:25,820 --> 00:17:27,170
And a glass of water.
317
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,650
No, clear.
318
00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:35,750
And, uh,...half a macaroon.
319
00:17:37,010 --> 00:17:38,100
Nothing more?
320
00:17:39,060 --> 00:17:39,920
Why, yes.
321
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,230
Your hand to kiss.
322
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,510
Thank you, sir.
323
00:18:02,090 --> 00:18:03,100
Good night.
324
00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:10,290
Idiot.
325
00:18:13,170 --> 00:18:13,890
Dinner.
326
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,160
Drink.
327
00:18:18,830 --> 00:18:19,720
Desert.
328
00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:24,670
Mon Dieux, I was hungry,
abominably.
329
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:26,320
Tell me.
330
00:18:26,590 --> 00:18:27,440
Anything.
331
00:18:27,790 --> 00:18:29,920
Why to you hate
this Montfleury?
332
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:32,860
A very bad actor.
333
00:18:32,890 --> 00:18:34,860
Ah, come now, the real
reason, the truth.
334
00:18:36,610 --> 00:18:39,600
That fat goat who cannot hold
his belly in his arms,
335
00:18:39,630 --> 00:18:42,590
still dreams of being
sweetly dangerous among the women.
336
00:18:43,230 --> 00:18:47,610
Sighs and languishes, making sheep's
eyes out of his great frog's face.
337
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:52,750
I hate him ever since one day
he dared smile upon....
338
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,220
Oh, my friend, I seemed to see over
some flower a great snail crawling.
339
00:19:00,090 --> 00:19:01,180
Eh, what?
340
00:19:02,170 --> 00:19:03,340
Is it possible?
341
00:19:04,890 --> 00:19:06,180
For me to love?
342
00:19:08,770 --> 00:19:09,660
I love.
343
00:19:10,370 --> 00:19:12,570
Whom?
May I know?
344
00:19:12,610 --> 00:19:13,620
Whom I love?
345
00:19:15,070 --> 00:19:16,000
Think a moment.
346
00:19:16,210 --> 00:19:17,280
Think of me.
347
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,670
Me, whom the plainest
woman would despise.
348
00:19:21,030 --> 00:19:25,010
Me, with this nose of mine that
marches on before me by a quarter of an hour.
349
00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:28,000
Whom shall I love.
350
00:19:29,890 --> 00:19:34,930
Why, of course, it must be the
woman in the world most beautiful.
351
00:19:35,780 --> 00:19:37,170
Most beautiful?
352
00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:42,920
In these eyes of mine....
beyond compare.
353
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:44,070
Wait.
354
00:19:44,510 --> 00:19:46,440
Your cousin, Roxane.
355
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,300
Yes.
356
00:19:50,170 --> 00:19:51,080
Roxane.
357
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,810
Well?
358
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,020
Why not?
If you love her, tell her so.
359
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,170
My old friend.
360
00:20:01,150 --> 00:20:03,550
Look at me and tell me how
much hope remains for me
361
00:20:03,580 --> 00:20:04,970
with this protuberance.
362
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,360
Ahhh, I have no more illusions.
363
00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:12,140
Now and then I may grow tender
walking alone in the blue of evening
364
00:20:12,170 --> 00:20:16,130
through some garden fresh with flowers
after the benediction of the rain.
365
00:20:16,980 --> 00:20:20,930
My poor big devil of a nose
inhales April.
366
00:20:21,460 --> 00:20:26,950
And I follow with my eyes where
some boy with a girl upon his arm,
367
00:20:27,510 --> 00:20:32,130
passes a patch of silver...
and I feel somehow....
368
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,490
I wish I had a woman, too,
369
00:20:36,670 --> 00:20:41,660
walking with me under the moon,
and holding my arm and smiling.
370
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:44,240
Then I dream.
371
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:46,140
I forget.
372
00:20:49,510 --> 00:20:53,210
And then I see the shadow
of my profile on the wall.
373
00:20:54,750 --> 00:20:56,050
My friend.
374
00:20:57,180 --> 00:20:58,230
My friend.
375
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,370
I have my bitter days,
knowing myself so ugly, so alone.
376
00:21:03,410 --> 00:21:05,260
Ah, but your wit, your courage,
377
00:21:05,540 --> 00:21:08,170
why that poor child who just
now offered you your dinner,
378
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,710
your saw it, her eyes
did not avoid you.
379
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,920
That is true.
380
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,930
Well, then, Roxane herself,
watching your duel, pale.
381
00:21:18,970 --> 00:21:19,480
Pale?
382
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,670
Yes, her lips parted.
Her hand at her breast, thus.
383
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,020
I saw it.
384
00:21:24,260 --> 00:21:27,260
Speak to her. Speak, man.
385
00:21:35,890 --> 00:21:37,550
She might laugh at me.
386
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:42,480
It is the one thing
in this world I fear.
387
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,490
Pardon, Monsieur,
a lady outside asking for you.
388
00:21:48,410 --> 00:21:49,750
Monsieur.
389
00:21:50,340 --> 00:21:51,270
A Duenna.
390
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,530
I have a message for you
from a...a certain lady.
391
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,760
She desires to know when
and where she may see you privately.
392
00:21:57,810 --> 00:22:00,070
She has certain
things to tell you.
393
00:22:00,690 --> 00:22:01,850
Certain...
394
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,010
Things!
395
00:22:04,230 --> 00:22:05,720
She wishes to see me?
396
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,410
We go tomorrow at dawn
to hear mass at St. Rupe
397
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,070
And afterwards, where
would you suggest?
398
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:12,630
Well, then, I...
399
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:15,300
- Where?
- Well?
400
00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:17,070
Ah....I am thinking.
401
00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:18,080
And you think?
402
00:22:19,770 --> 00:22:20,590
Where?
403
00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:22,060
The shop at Ragueneau's.
404
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:24,580
Yes, yes, Ragueneau,
the pastry cook.
405
00:22:24,620 --> 00:22:25,400
Who dwells?
406
00:22:26,650 --> 00:22:27,590
Rue Saint Honore.
407
00:22:27,630 --> 00:22:28,690
Eh...Rue Saint Honore.
408
00:22:28,730 --> 00:22:33,530
We are agreed. At 7 o'clock.
Until then. Adieu.
409
00:22:38,790 --> 00:22:39,940
I'll be there.
410
00:22:41,620 --> 00:22:44,110
Me! To see me!
411
00:22:44,260 --> 00:22:45,830
Ah, not quite so gloomy.
412
00:22:45,870 --> 00:22:47,580
After all, she knows
that I exist.
413
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,060
Imagine, she has
asked to see me!
414
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:52,240
So, now you're
going to be happy?
415
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,350
Happy.
I'm going to be a storm.
A flame!
416
00:22:55,390 --> 00:22:58,430
I need to fight whole
armies all alone!
417
00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,840
I have ten hearts!
418
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,280
I have a hundred arms!.
419
00:23:01,310 --> 00:23:04,450
I feel too strong
to war with mortals!
420
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,150
BRING ME GIANTS!
421
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:11,240
Quiet, please, shhh.
We are rehearsing back here.
422
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,600
So sorry.
Ha, ha, ha.
423
00:23:21,490 --> 00:23:22,280
Cyrano.
424
00:23:22,830 --> 00:23:23,630
Cyrano.
425
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,590
Ragueneau.
426
00:23:26,150 --> 00:23:27,910
Oh, thank goodness
you're still here.
427
00:23:27,950 --> 00:23:29,180
Well, what's the matter.
428
00:23:29,210 --> 00:23:30,410
I'm afraid to go home.
429
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,040
Why?
430
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,050
You know those
comic verses I wrote?
431
00:23:33,090 --> 00:23:34,830
About the congregation.
432
00:23:34,860 --> 00:23:37,260
Cyrano, he's hired ruffians.
Bullies.
433
00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:39,740
A hundred, waiting for
me on the way home.
434
00:23:39,780 --> 00:23:41,620
They're gonna beat me.
Cane me!
435
00:23:41,650 --> 00:23:44,450
Please, would you permit me
to spend the night with you?
436
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,420
A hundred men,
is that all?
437
00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:49,610
Ragueneau, you're
going home tonight.
438
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,630
But they're armed.
They're cutthroats!
439
00:23:51,690 --> 00:23:53,620
Take this lantern.
Forward march.
440
00:23:53,660 --> 00:23:55,760
I say that I'll be the man
to see you to your shop.
441
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,150
Not you, I want no help from you.
442
00:23:57,190 --> 00:23:58,510
For even for a hundred,
you're mad.
443
00:23:58,550 --> 00:23:59,730
Those are the odds I want.
444
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,420
Why for this pastry cook?
445
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,820
First, because this
pastry cook is a friend of mine.
446
00:24:04,930 --> 00:24:07,820
Second, because this
pastry cook is also a poet.
447
00:24:07,950 --> 00:24:09,360
And, most important,
448
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:12,000
if anything should
happen to this pastry cook,
449
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:16,870
tomorrow morning at seven
his shop will be closed.
450
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:19,590
Goodnight.
451
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,060
(a whistle signal)
452
00:25:37,430 --> 00:25:38,480
Cyrano. Help!
453
00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:43,580
Look out behind you!
454
00:26:22,750 --> 00:26:23,810
I have been robbed.
455
00:26:24,370 --> 00:26:26,070
- There are no hundred here.
456
00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:32,360
It's, it's, it's...
457
00:26:33,820 --> 00:26:35,230
Be quick. Inside.
458
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,550
Bolt the door!
459
00:26:48,510 --> 00:26:49,310
Ah!
460
00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:08,660
Yah!
461
00:27:10,460 --> 00:27:12,210
(ruffians shouting)
462
00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:01,010
Ah!
463
00:28:03,860 --> 00:28:04,560
Awk.
464
00:28:05,860 --> 00:28:08,030
(ruffians shouting)
465
00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:17,280
(Le Bret)
- Cyrano!
466
00:28:17,310 --> 00:28:18,320
- Hold!
467
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:34,330
Ah.
468
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,420
How do you feel?
469
00:28:37,460 --> 00:28:39,540
Oh, pleasantly exhilarated.
470
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:42,990
- Come, I know a little tavern not far...
- Where's Ragueneau?
471
00:28:43,310 --> 00:28:46,320
Ragueneau?
Ragueneau!
472
00:28:46,730 --> 00:28:49,510
Little boy, come out.
All's well!
473
00:28:50,330 --> 00:28:51,990
- Is it over?
- All over.
474
00:28:52,220 --> 00:28:53,020
Really?
475
00:28:54,500 --> 00:28:55,340
So soon?
476
00:28:55,370 --> 00:28:56,140
Ha, ha, ha.
477
00:28:56,170 --> 00:28:59,480
Oh, if only I'd had my sword.
How many did we kill?
478
00:28:59,510 --> 00:29:00,330
Oh, about eight.
479
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:00,960
Eight.
480
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,410
Eight!
481
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,420
Ohhhh.
482
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,910
This.....gentleman
begins to annoy me.
483
00:29:31,980 --> 00:29:33,630
(Ragueneau is a poet, too.)
484
00:29:35,060 --> 00:29:40,010
No. The sauce and meat must rhyme.
Add a pinch of marigold and thyme.
485
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,960
Your house, of course, needs a stronger roof.
Eh? There's proof.
486
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:45,830
Cyrano.
487
00:29:46,830 --> 00:29:47,500
Cyrano.
488
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,100
Come in and eat.
489
00:29:49,130 --> 00:29:51,110
- What time is it?
- Not quite seven.
490
00:29:51,130 --> 00:29:54,140
Oh, now, please, Cyrano.
A man without breakfast is like...
491
00:29:54,180 --> 00:29:56,720
No.
Could she have changed her mind?
492
00:29:56,750 --> 00:29:57,920
Aw, she wouldn't dare.
493
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,900
We were magnificent last night.
494
00:30:00,370 --> 00:30:01,830
And at the theater, too.
495
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,320
'Then, as I end the refrain'....
496
00:30:04,350 --> 00:30:07,390
When she arrives.
Where can we converse undisturbed?
497
00:30:07,420 --> 00:30:09,190
Wherever you like.
My shop is yours.
498
00:30:09,310 --> 00:30:11,900
The little dining room
is quite romantic.
499
00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:14,490
'Thrust home!'
Yea gods, what a line.
500
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,650
- 'Then as I end the re....'
- Vanish.
501
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:18,110
- Uh, huh, she's come?
- Shhhh.
502
00:30:18,140 --> 00:30:18,920
I swear.
503
00:30:27,340 --> 00:30:28,170
Welcome.
504
00:30:38,470 --> 00:30:40,510
- A pardon, one word.
- Oh, yes?
505
00:30:40,550 --> 00:30:41,520
Have you a good digestion?
506
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,430
Oh, wonderful.
507
00:30:43,290 --> 00:30:48,800
Eh, here are some éclairs.
Uh, creampuffs.
508
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,160
Some, uh, jellyrolls.
And do you like nature?
509
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,400
I adore it.
510
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,760
Go out and eat these in the sunshine.
Do not return.
511
00:30:56,790 --> 00:30:57,440
But why?
512
00:30:57,470 --> 00:30:58,910
Until you have finished them.
513
00:30:58,940 --> 00:31:00,340
(outside)
- What do I do then?
514
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,750
(door closes)
515
00:31:09,970 --> 00:31:13,000
Blessed above all others be the hour
when you remember to remember me,
516
00:31:13,230 --> 00:31:15,800
and came to tell me......what?
517
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,750
To tell you that....
518
00:31:19,060 --> 00:31:21,810
Before I dare tell you I....
519
00:31:22,020 --> 00:31:24,850
Are you, I wonder, still
the same big brother almost
520
00:31:24,890 --> 00:31:26,720
that you used to be
when we were children,
521
00:31:26,750 --> 00:31:29,570
playing by the pond
in the old garden down there?
522
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,570
At Bergerac.
Those lovely summers.
523
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,700
You use to make swords
out of bulrushes.
524
00:31:33,740 --> 00:31:35,810
And you, dandelions
also golden hair.
525
00:31:35,890 --> 00:31:37,930
In those days
I could tell you everything.
526
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,860
And you did
everything I wished.
527
00:31:40,060 --> 00:31:44,830
Little Roxane, a sweet tyrone
with short skirts and long hair.
528
00:31:44,860 --> 00:31:45,780
Was I pretty?
529
00:31:49,830 --> 00:31:51,270
Not too plain.
530
00:31:52,150 --> 00:31:54,490
Sometimes when you had fallen
or hurt your hand,
531
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,670
you used to come running to me,
and I would be your mother and say,
532
00:31:57,710 --> 00:32:02,770
oh, with a very grownup voice,
'Now, what have you been doing to yourself?'
533
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,300
'Let me see.'
534
00:32:05,890 --> 00:32:07,060
- Oh!
- No one that.
535
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:08,230
Wait, let me see.
536
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,540
Still. At your age?
537
00:32:12,010 --> 00:32:13,810
Now, how did you do that?
538
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,910
Playing with the big boys
at the Place de Neanne.
539
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:18,410
Come here.
540
00:32:19,330 --> 00:32:21,020
Such a wise little mother.
541
00:32:21,030 --> 00:32:24,740
And tell me, while I wash this
blood away, how many you played with?
542
00:32:24,770 --> 00:32:26,840
- Oh, about a hundred.
- A hundred?
543
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,950
- More or less.
- It can't be.
544
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:31,080
No.
545
00:32:31,670 --> 00:32:33,720
Tell me what you were
going to tell me.....
546
00:32:34,130 --> 00:32:35,320
if you dared.
547
00:32:36,190 --> 00:32:38,060
I think I do dare, now.
548
00:32:38,860 --> 00:32:41,450
It seems so like
those happy days long ago.
549
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,780
Yes, I dare.
550
00:32:44,350 --> 00:32:47,190
Listen....I love someone.
551
00:32:47,850 --> 00:32:48,440
Yes?
552
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,150
Someone who does not know.
553
00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:51,340
Yes?
554
00:32:51,450 --> 00:32:54,970
Someone who loves me, too,
but is afraid of me and keeps away
555
00:32:55,010 --> 00:32:56,340
and never says one word.
556
00:32:57,570 --> 00:32:58,270
(softly)
Yes.
557
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,210
Give my that hand.
558
00:33:01,870 --> 00:33:03,080
Why, how hot it is.
559
00:33:04,390 --> 00:33:06,390
Yes, he loves me.
I am sure of it.
560
00:33:06,740 --> 00:33:07,530
(softly)
Yes.
561
00:33:08,110 --> 00:33:10,730
And he is a soldier, too,
in your own regiment,
562
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,710
your own company.
563
00:33:11,740 --> 00:33:12,750
(loud)
Yes.
564
00:33:13,340 --> 00:33:14,480
Such a man.
565
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,280
He is proud, noble, young, brave,
566
00:33:18,610 --> 00:33:19,700
beautiful!
567
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:22,550
(softly)
Beautiful.
568
00:33:25,180 --> 00:33:26,040
What's the matter?
569
00:33:26,460 --> 00:33:27,160
Oh, nothing.
570
00:33:28,110 --> 00:33:30,210
It's this, my hand.
571
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,280
I love him.
That is all.
572
00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:38,230
And I have never seen him
anywhere except in the theater.
573
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,710
You have never spoken?
574
00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:42,790
Only with our hearts.
575
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,080
Well, then, how do you know?
576
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:50,270
Well, people talk about people,
and I hear things, and...
577
00:33:51,370 --> 00:33:52,700
and I know.
578
00:33:53,890 --> 00:33:55,540
(firmly)
You say he is in the guards?
579
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,530
His name?
580
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,270
Baron Christian de Neuvillette.
581
00:34:02,790 --> 00:34:03,910
You know him?
582
00:34:04,290 --> 00:34:05,650
He is not in the guards.
583
00:34:05,690 --> 00:34:07,020
Yes, since last week.
584
00:34:07,770 --> 00:34:09,550
He is only lately
come to Paris...
585
00:34:09,730 --> 00:34:11,140
from Normandy.
586
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,070
So soon.
So soon we lose our hearts.
587
00:34:15,570 --> 00:34:16,160
What...
(door opens)
588
00:34:16,190 --> 00:34:17,220
(Duenna)
- Monsieur de Bergerac
589
00:34:17,250 --> 00:34:18,850
- I have eaten all the cakes.
590
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,280
Good.
Now, go out and enjoy nature.
591
00:34:23,020 --> 00:34:26,110
But my dear child, you love
only words, wit, poetry.
592
00:34:26,150 --> 00:34:29,950
Why, for all you know,
the man may be a savage or a fool.
593
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:34,290
Not with such eyes.
I read his soul in them.
594
00:34:35,270 --> 00:34:38,360
Yes, all our souls are
written in our eyes.
595
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,720
And you have brought
me here to tell me this?
596
00:34:42,980 --> 00:34:45,890
I do not yet quite understand,
madam, the reason for your confidence.
597
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:52,640
They say, that in your company,
it frightens me, you are all Gascon.
598
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,850
We pick a quarrel with any outsider
who intrudes himself.
599
00:34:54,890 --> 00:34:56,250
Is that what you have heard?
600
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,150
- I'm so afraid for him.
- Not without reason.
601
00:34:59,190 --> 00:35:03,730
And I thought you...
it's you whom they all respect and fear.
602
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,590
You want me to defend
your little Baron?
603
00:35:08,630 --> 00:35:09,740
Will you?
604
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:11,670
Just for me.
605
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,440
Because I have always
been your friend.
606
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,790
And this is what
you want of me?
607
00:35:16,820 --> 00:35:18,430
Will you be his friend?
608
00:35:20,450 --> 00:35:22,200
I will be his friend.
609
00:35:22,230 --> 00:35:23,040
And never let him
fight a duel.
610
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,060
No, never.
611
00:35:24,090 --> 00:35:24,750
Promise?
612
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:26,980
I promise.
613
00:35:27,420 --> 00:35:30,860
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
I knew I could rely on you.
614
00:35:33,930 --> 00:35:35,410
Well, now I must go.
615
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,480
Oh, you never told
me about last night.
616
00:35:43,970 --> 00:35:45,790
Why, you must
have been a hero.
617
00:35:45,820 --> 00:35:50,240
Have write and tell me all about it,
and...about himself.
618
00:35:51,420 --> 00:35:54,330
Oh, you are a darling.
We are great friends, are we not?
619
00:35:54,860 --> 00:35:56,330
He must write to me.
620
00:35:58,390 --> 00:36:01,490
A hundred men against one.
You shall tell me the whole story
621
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:02,980
someday when we have time.
622
00:36:06,570 --> 00:36:10,170
A hundred men.
What courage!
623
00:36:14,030 --> 00:36:16,810
I have done better.
624
00:36:21,820 --> 00:36:22,450
Well?
625
00:36:24,890 --> 00:36:26,050
Let us leave this place.
626
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,620
But the whole company
is on its way here.
627
00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:28,330
Oh, no.
628
00:36:28,370 --> 00:36:30,870
On my heels. Naturally I told
them all about last night.
629
00:36:30,900 --> 00:36:31,880
They're wild.
630
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:32,830
Here they are.
631
00:36:32,860 --> 00:36:35,420
- Yes, but, why did you?
- Perhaps I can stop them.
632
00:36:36,210 --> 00:36:36,870
Never mind.
633
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,220
Cyrano!
634
00:36:39,260 --> 00:36:46,070
(greetings and cheers to Cyrano)
635
00:36:49,130 --> 00:36:51,570
Eight dead men in the street.
Scandalous.
636
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,010
You know my edict
against dueling, nephew.
637
00:36:54,050 --> 00:36:55,580
I expect to have it enforced.
638
00:36:55,610 --> 00:36:58,940
Furthermore, I wish to know
who was responsible for last night's
639
00:36:58,970 --> 00:37:00,410
outrage at the Place de Neanne.
640
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:01,840
I understand, Your Eminence.
641
00:37:02,050 --> 00:37:04,180
Very well.
And now I have news
642
00:37:04,210 --> 00:37:06,310
that should be more
to you liking.
643
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:13,410
I fear, in confidence, our
uneasy armistice with Spain is doomed.
644
00:37:13,450 --> 00:37:14,410
My colonelcy?
645
00:37:14,450 --> 00:37:16,670
You commission has been prepared.
646
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:18,890
Oh, thank you, uncle, thank you.
647
00:37:19,230 --> 00:37:20,630
Oh, one thing more.
648
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,600
Last night at the theater,
the duel in rhyme,
649
00:37:24,790 --> 00:37:26,970
that guardsman with a nose.
650
00:37:27,010 --> 00:37:30,240
- Bergerac, that impossible Gascon.
- Yes, impossible.
651
00:37:30,260 --> 00:37:32,300
- His treatment of Montfleury.
- Abominable.
652
00:37:32,330 --> 00:37:35,230
- The arrogance with which he closed the play.
- Incredible.
653
00:37:35,260 --> 00:37:38,130
- It will be a miracle if the Vicomte survives.
- A sorrow.
654
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,720
What will you do
with him, Your Eminence?
655
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,100
I? Nothing.
656
00:37:41,140 --> 00:37:43,290
I thought I might
leave that to you.
657
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,500
To me?
658
00:37:44,530 --> 00:37:48,270
Yes. Place him somewhere
in your service,
659
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:49,890
with a comfortable allowance.
660
00:37:49,930 --> 00:37:51,390
He looked a little threadbare.
661
00:37:51,430 --> 00:37:55,020
I...You...But, Your Eminence.
You detest dueling.
662
00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:55,960
Of course I do.
663
00:37:56,350 --> 00:37:58,070
Why didn't you prevent it?
664
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,350
I should much prefer
that monsieur de Beregrac
665
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,300
live by the pen,
rather than die by the sword.
666
00:38:06,590 --> 00:38:08,470
Do you not agree, Antoine?
667
00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:12,560
By all means, Your Eminence.
By all means.
668
00:38:14,830 --> 00:38:21,650
'And then, as I end the refrain...
thrust home.'
669
00:38:24,790 --> 00:38:28,740
(Carousing at Ragueneau's)
670
00:38:33,220 --> 00:38:39,860
(noisy celebration of Cyrano's
defeat of 'a hundred' ruffians)
671
00:38:44,210 --> 00:38:46,580
(Antoine Comte de Guiche enters)
672
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:48,620
Monsieur de Bergerac.
673
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,390
Your Excellency.
674
00:38:51,970 --> 00:38:54,750
I have come to express my....
675
00:38:54,790 --> 00:38:58,550
admiration for both
your exploits last night.
676
00:38:58,590 --> 00:39:01,290
Indeed. Thank you.
677
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,900
My dear fellow,
we may have had our differences,
678
00:39:04,930 --> 00:39:07,550
but I am disposed
to forget them.
679
00:39:07,570 --> 00:39:09,710
That is very generous
of you, sir.
680
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:10,560
No, truly.
681
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,970
You are, it seems, a man
of many skills.
682
00:39:14,010 --> 00:39:17,350
A rare combination
soldier and poet.
683
00:39:18,060 --> 00:39:21,750
- Would you care to join my following?
- No, sir.
684
00:39:21,790 --> 00:39:23,260
I do not follow.
685
00:39:23,770 --> 00:39:25,980
I am told you have
written a play.
686
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,510
As you know, my uncle,
the Cardinal, is also a dramatist.
687
00:39:29,540 --> 00:39:30,990
I might help you there.
688
00:39:31,150 --> 00:39:34,050
Cyrano, now at last
you can have it performed.
689
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,200
Why not?
690
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:36,620
I could take it to him.
691
00:39:37,860 --> 00:39:39,330
Really?
692
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,460
Of course.
Let him rewrite a few lines
693
00:39:41,490 --> 00:39:43,770
here and there, and
he'll find a theater for you.
694
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,230
Rewrite...my lines?
695
00:39:47,670 --> 00:39:49,150
Impossible.
696
00:39:49,190 --> 00:39:52,040
Uh, when he likes a thing,
he pays well.
697
00:39:52,070 --> 00:39:53,240
Yes, but not so well as I.
698
00:39:53,270 --> 00:39:55,460
When I have made a line
that sings itself
699
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:57,220
I pay myself a hundred times.
700
00:39:57,250 --> 00:39:58,940
You are proud, my friend.
701
00:39:58,970 --> 00:40:00,020
You have observed that?
702
00:40:00,060 --> 00:40:02,460
- Cyrano.
See what we found in the street.
703
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:05,140
Plumes dropped in their flight
by those fine birds
704
00:40:05,170 --> 00:40:06,860
who showed their
tail feathers!
705
00:40:06,890 --> 00:40:08,590
(laughter)
706
00:40:08,620 --> 00:40:10,180
The man who hired
those scoundrels,
707
00:40:10,210 --> 00:40:12,010
he must be an
angry man today.
708
00:40:12,050 --> 00:40:13,430
Who was it?
Do you know?
709
00:40:13,850 --> 00:40:14,790
It was I.
710
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,870
I hired them to do the sort
of work we do not soil our hands with.
711
00:40:20,660 --> 00:40:22,940
Punishing an insolent poet.
712
00:40:22,970 --> 00:40:25,610
They ought to be mounted
before they spoil.
713
00:40:25,650 --> 00:40:27,850
(laughter)
What shall we do with them?
714
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:36,460
Sir, will you not return these
to your friends?
715
00:40:40,310 --> 00:40:42,190
Have you read Don Quixote?
716
00:40:42,230 --> 00:40:44,650
I have and found
myself the hero.
717
00:40:44,690 --> 00:40:47,770
Be so good as to read once more
the capture of the windmills.
718
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,010
Chapter 13.
719
00:40:50,150 --> 00:40:52,200
Windmills, remember,
if you fight with them...
720
00:40:52,230 --> 00:40:56,590
may swing round their huge arms
and cast you down into the mire.
721
00:40:56,630 --> 00:40:59,010
Or up among the stars.
722
00:41:01,250 --> 00:41:01,970
Gentlemen.
723
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:03,320
Gentlemen.
724
00:41:03,570 --> 00:41:04,550
Gentlemen.
725
00:41:05,220 --> 00:41:06,610
You've done it, now.
726
00:41:06,650 --> 00:41:07,860
You've made your fortune.
727
00:41:07,890 --> 00:41:09,070
He was willing to forget.
728
00:41:09,490 --> 00:41:11,180
There you go again, growling.
729
00:41:11,210 --> 00:41:13,460
Yesss,
this latest pose of yours,
730
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:16,070
ruining every opportunity
that comes you way,
731
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:17,100
becomes exaggerated.
732
00:41:17,140 --> 00:41:18,250
Very well, then, I exaggerate.
733
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:19,710
There are certain things
in this world
734
00:41:19,740 --> 00:41:21,100
a man does well
to carry to extremes.
735
00:41:21,140 --> 00:41:23,710
Your precious independence.
Your white plume.
736
00:41:23,740 --> 00:41:25,410
How do you expect
to succeed in life?
737
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,400
What would you have me do?
738
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,590
Seek for the patronage
of some great man
739
00:41:28,630 --> 00:41:31,880
and like a creeping vine
on a tall tree crawl upward
740
00:41:31,910 --> 00:41:33,520
where I cannot stand alone?
741
00:41:33,940 --> 00:41:34,850
No, thank you.
742
00:41:35,210 --> 00:41:39,880
Be a buffoon in the vile hope
of teasing out a smile on some cold face.
743
00:41:40,340 --> 00:41:41,710
No, thank you.
744
00:41:42,050 --> 00:41:44,260
Eat a toad for breakfast
every morning.
745
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:47,530
Make my knees calloused.
Cultivate a supple spine.
746
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,320
Wear out my belly
groveling in the dust.
747
00:41:49,590 --> 00:41:50,400
No, thank you.
748
00:41:50,860 --> 00:41:54,880
With my left hand scratch the back
of any swine that roots up gold for me
749
00:41:54,910 --> 00:41:58,910
while my right, too proud to know
his partner's business, takes in the fee.
750
00:41:58,940 --> 00:41:59,920
No, thank you.
751
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,810
Shall I use the fire God gave me
to burn incense all day long?
752
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,020
No, thank you.
753
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,410
Struggle to insinuate my name
into the columns of the Gazette?
754
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:13,250
Calculate, scheme, be afraid?
Love more to make a visit than a poem?
755
00:42:13,290 --> 00:42:15,990
Seek introductions, favors,
influences?
756
00:42:16,020 --> 00:42:17,050
No, thank you.
757
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,270
No, I thank you, and
again I thank you.
758
00:42:23,930 --> 00:42:30,320
But, to sing, to laugh, to dream,
to walk in my own way,
759
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,510
free with and eye
to see things as they are.
760
00:42:33,380 --> 00:42:35,240
A voice that means manhood.
761
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,640
To cut my have
the right shoes.
762
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:46,150
And a word, a yes, a no,
to fight, or write,
763
00:42:46,830 --> 00:42:48,440
but never to make
a line I have not heard
764
00:42:48,470 --> 00:42:49,780
in my own heart.
765
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,380
To travel any
road under the sun,
766
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,780
under the stars,
767
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,520
nor care if fame or fortune
lie beyond the bourne.
768
00:43:00,370 --> 00:43:02,250
Yet, with all modesty to say,
769
00:43:03,250 --> 00:43:05,830
my soul be satisfied
with flowers,
770
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:08,000
with weeds,
771
00:43:09,210 --> 00:43:10,840
with thorns, even,
772
00:43:11,910 --> 00:43:14,940
but gather them in the one garden
you may call your own.
773
00:43:16,230 --> 00:43:18,450
In a word, I'm too proud
to be a parasite.
774
00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:21,470
And if mine intellect the germ
that grows towering to heaven
775
00:43:21,500 --> 00:43:22,770
like the mountain pine
776
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,570
I stand not high, it may be,
777
00:43:27,260 --> 00:43:28,460
but alone.
778
00:43:28,500 --> 00:43:31,170
Alone, yes, but why
go about making enemies?
779
00:43:32,100 --> 00:43:35,850
Watching other people
making friends...everywhere,
780
00:43:35,890 --> 00:43:37,980
as a dog makes friends.
781
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,550
I mark the manner of
these canine courtesies,
782
00:43:41,580 --> 00:43:46,770
and think, here comes,
thank heaven, another enemy.
783
00:43:46,810 --> 00:43:52,760
Yes, tell this to all the world,
and then to me say very softly
784
00:43:52,790 --> 00:43:55,540
that she loves you not.
785
00:43:58,830 --> 00:44:00,940
Let me be alone
for a moment.
786
00:44:03,990 --> 00:44:05,050
Cyrano, wait.
787
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,760
Give us your story
of the fight.
788
00:44:07,530 --> 00:44:08,400
Presently.
789
00:44:08,430 --> 00:44:10,010
No, the story, now!
790
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,970
Oh, let him alone.
There's time enough.
791
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,360
I want it now!
792
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,090
As an example for that young
tadpole sneaking out the doorway.
793
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,040
You, there.
794
00:44:25,310 --> 00:44:26,820
Are you addressing me?
795
00:44:28,190 --> 00:44:32,770
Yes, you flat-footed
Norman farmer.
796
00:44:36,190 --> 00:44:37,470
You wish something of me?
797
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:39,950
Listen, Monsieur de...de...de
whatever your name is.
798
00:44:39,980 --> 00:44:40,920
de Neuvillette!
799
00:44:41,090 --> 00:44:43,230
Baron Christan de Neuvillette.
800
00:44:43,270 --> 00:44:45,370
Very well, de Neuvillette.
801
00:44:45,670 --> 00:44:48,080
As you are a newcomer here,
you should know there is a
802
00:44:48,110 --> 00:44:52,300
certain subject or object, if you prefer,
that is never mentioned among us.
803
00:44:52,340 --> 00:44:53,340
And that is....?
804
00:44:53,370 --> 00:44:54,500
Look at me!
805
00:44:54,540 --> 00:44:55,980
(touching his nose)
806
00:44:56,020 --> 00:44:57,360
You understand?
807
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:58,670
You mean....?
808
00:44:58,700 --> 00:45:01,090
Thus we never speak that word.
809
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,390
To even breathe it is
to have to do with him.
810
00:45:04,420 --> 00:45:08,760
He has exterminated several
whose mere tone of voice suggested...
811
00:45:08,790 --> 00:45:12,920
Would you die before your time?
Just mention anything convex.
812
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,530
Or cartilaginous.
813
00:45:14,570 --> 00:45:18,540
One word. One syllable.
One gesture. Nay, one sneeze.
814
00:45:18,570 --> 00:45:21,330
And your handkerchief
becomes your winding sheet.
815
00:45:24,110 --> 00:45:24,920
Captain.
816
00:45:25,430 --> 00:45:26,290
Sir?
817
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:30,090
What is the proper thing to do
when Gascons grow too boastful?
818
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,820
Prove to them that one may
be a Norman and still have courage.
819
00:45:33,850 --> 00:45:35,100
I thank you.
820
00:45:41,330 --> 00:45:43,360
Come on, Cyrano, your story.
821
00:45:44,420 --> 00:45:47,330
(shouts of encouragement)
822
00:45:47,740 --> 00:45:49,540
Now, let me see.
Where shall we begin?
823
00:45:50,450 --> 00:45:52,510
I followed with our host
to meet those scoundrels
824
00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:53,640
not knowing where
they might attack.
825
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,340
No lamps in those narrow
back streets.
826
00:45:57,500 --> 00:45:58,600
No moon in the sky.
827
00:45:59,340 --> 00:46:01,220
Dark. Everything dark.
828
00:46:01,430 --> 00:46:04,040
It was so dark, Mon Dieux,
you could not see beyond...
829
00:46:04,070 --> 00:46:05,470
Your nose!
830
00:46:05,850 --> 00:46:08,480
(Christian shows his courage.)
831
00:46:25,250 --> 00:46:33,250
Who...is that...man...there?
832
00:46:34,260 --> 00:46:35,380
- A new recruit.
833
00:46:36,070 --> 00:46:37,550
- Arrived last week.
834
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,080
A recruit, eh?
835
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:41,940
Ha, ha---.
836
00:46:41,970 --> 00:46:45,320
His name is Christian de Neuvillette.
837
00:46:45,350 --> 00:46:48,660
(Cyrano remembers his
promise to Roxane.)
838
00:46:58,510 --> 00:46:59,570
I see.
839
00:47:02,670 --> 00:47:03,510
Very well.
840
00:47:04,850 --> 00:47:06,470
As I was saying.
841
00:47:10,830 --> 00:47:11,930
It grew dark.
842
00:47:12,460 --> 00:47:15,180
You could not see
your hand before your eyes.
843
00:47:16,310 --> 00:47:19,470
I marched on thinking our all for
the sake of one amateur poet
844
00:47:19,510 --> 00:47:22,660
- who wrote a verse whenever he took a..
- A nose full.
845
00:47:24,370 --> 00:47:25,770
...whenever he took a notion.,
846
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,600
and might antagonize
some dangerous man.
847
00:47:28,630 --> 00:47:30,830
One powerful enough
to make me pay...
848
00:47:30,860 --> 00:47:31,980
Through the nose!
849
00:47:32,010 --> 00:47:33,090
...pay the piper!
850
00:47:33,410 --> 00:47:35,430
After all, I thought,
why am I putting in my..
851
00:47:35,470 --> 00:47:36,310
- Nose!
852
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:39,170
...putting in my oar in a quarrel
that was none of mine,
853
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,240
however now that I am here,
I may as well go through with it.
854
00:47:41,270 --> 00:47:42,840
Come Gascon, do your duty.
855
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,850
Suddenly a sword
flashed in the dark!
856
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:45,810
I caught it fair...
857
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:46,810
On the nose!
858
00:47:47,940 --> 00:47:49,130
...on my blade!
859
00:47:49,170 --> 00:47:50,530
Before I knew it,
there I was...
860
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:51,690
Rubbing noses!
861
00:47:51,730 --> 00:47:53,840
...crossing swords with
harvard's joy once.
862
00:47:53,870 --> 00:47:54,940
I had the bottom then...
863
00:47:54,980 --> 00:47:55,900
A nosegay!
864
00:47:55,940 --> 00:47:57,160
...a monstrous crab tree.
865
00:47:57,610 --> 00:48:00,170
(breathing heavily)
He went down for as a wave.
866
00:48:00,380 --> 00:48:00,990
I charged...
867
00:48:01,030 --> 00:48:02,590
Who was in the air hard.
868
00:48:02,620 --> 00:48:03,450
...at the two of them.
869
00:48:04,750 --> 00:48:05,900
Another lunged,
and I parried...
870
00:48:05,940 --> 00:48:07,220
Through your nose!
871
00:48:07,250 --> 00:48:09,310
Right out of here!
All of you go!
872
00:48:09,340 --> 00:48:10,120
Leave me with him.
873
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,660
To my arms, sir.
You have courage.
874
00:48:28,690 --> 00:48:29,880
- That pleases me.
- Why?
875
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,820
Come, do you not know
I am her brother?
876
00:48:31,850 --> 00:48:32,460
Whose?
877
00:48:32,500 --> 00:48:34,250
Hers. Roxane.
878
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:38,390
Brother?
879
00:48:39,260 --> 00:48:40,170
You?
880
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,150
Well, a distant cousin.
Much the same.
881
00:48:42,510 --> 00:48:44,450
- Then she has told you?
- Everything.
882
00:48:44,580 --> 00:48:46,680
- She loves me?
- Perhaps.
883
00:48:47,610 --> 00:48:49,950
My dear sir, more than I can say.
I am honored.
884
00:48:49,990 --> 00:48:52,040
- Rather sudden.
- Oh, please, forgive me.
885
00:48:52,260 --> 00:48:54,270
If you knew how
much I have admired you.
886
00:48:54,310 --> 00:48:57,620
- Yes, yes, and all those noses.
- Please. I apologize.
887
00:48:59,060 --> 00:49:00,680
Roxane expects a letter.
888
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:02,300
- From me?
- Yes, why not?
889
00:49:02,340 --> 00:49:03,180
Oh,, No.
890
00:49:03,530 --> 00:49:05,880
- Once I write, that ruins everything.
- Why?
891
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,020
Because, any schoolboy can write
to her more gracefully than I.
892
00:49:09,590 --> 00:49:10,730
A fool!
893
00:49:10,900 --> 00:49:14,560
- You did not attack me like a fool.
- Anyone can pick a quarrel.
894
00:49:14,740 --> 00:49:16,580
No, I'm never at loss
for words among men,
895
00:49:16,610 --> 00:49:21,260
but with any women...
paralyzed...speechless, dumb.
896
00:49:21,460 --> 00:49:23,600
I'm one of those
stammering idiots
897
00:49:23,630 --> 00:49:25,270
who can not court a woman.
898
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:26,170
Really?
899
00:49:26,810 --> 00:49:28,700
As for myself,
it seems to me that
900
00:49:28,730 --> 00:49:32,300
given the opportunity,
and if I put my mind to it,
901
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,390
I could do that..
rather well.
902
00:49:35,420 --> 00:49:37,870
Oh, is I had words to say
what I have here!
903
00:49:37,900 --> 00:49:39,450
If I were handsome
like you.
904
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,780
Together, we could make
one mighty hero of romance.
905
00:49:43,820 --> 00:49:45,330
If only I had your wit.
906
00:49:50,570 --> 00:49:51,710
Borrow it, then.
907
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:53,150
What?
908
00:49:54,670 --> 00:49:55,490
Tell me,
909
00:49:56,910 --> 00:49:59,770
would you dare repeat to her
the words I gave you day by day?
910
00:50:00,330 --> 00:50:02,420
Send to her
the letters that I write?
911
00:50:02,460 --> 00:50:04,800
I mean, that Roxane
should have no disillusionment.
912
00:50:05,180 --> 00:50:06,820
Come, shall we win her
both together?
913
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:07,800
For you?
914
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,970
- Why, Cyrano...
- Christian, why not?
915
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,850
I...I'm afraid.
916
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,030
Afraid that when you
have her all alone, you will lose her.
917
00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:16,420
Have not fear,
it is your self she loves.
918
00:50:16,450 --> 00:50:17,920
Give her yourself.
919
00:50:17,950 --> 00:50:23,670
Put into words,
my words...upon your lips.
920
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:25,180
Will you?
921
00:50:26,780 --> 00:50:28,030
Will you?
922
00:50:28,910 --> 00:50:30,740
Does it mean
so much to you?
923
00:50:30,770 --> 00:50:32,360
It means....
924
00:50:34,110 --> 00:50:37,060
It means a comedy,
a situation for a poet.
925
00:50:37,190 --> 00:50:38,350
Come, shall we collaborate?
926
00:50:38,390 --> 00:50:42,420
I'll be your cloak of darkness,
your enchanted sword,
927
00:50:42,460 --> 00:50:45,330
your ring to charm
the fairy princess.
928
00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:49,180
Think!
Is the prize not worth the danger?
929
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:52,980
My friend!
930
00:50:54,620 --> 00:50:55,740
My friend.
931
00:50:56,890 --> 00:51:00,100
Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
932
00:51:00,350 --> 00:51:03,650
Plucking the flowers,
we will keep the plant in bloom.
933
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,010
Thus do I love thee,
my darling.
934
00:51:08,890 --> 00:51:09,670
Idiot.
935
00:51:09,910 --> 00:51:12,200
There are a dozen
ways to read that line.
936
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:14,500
Can't you give it some meaning?
Any meaning!
937
00:51:14,530 --> 00:51:15,950
THUS do I love thee!
938
00:51:15,980 --> 00:51:17,280
Thus do "I" love thee.
939
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:18,550
Thus do I LOVE thee.
940
00:51:18,580 --> 00:51:20,930
Thus do I love THEE,
THEE, THEE.
941
00:51:22,580 --> 00:51:25,680
Who knows your smile
has known a perfect thing.
942
00:51:25,710 --> 00:51:28,400
You are a white rose,
wherein love lies in ambush
943
00:51:28,430 --> 00:51:30,180
for its natural prey.
944
00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:33,760
In the garden of my heart,
you are the most...
945
00:51:33,930 --> 00:51:35,680
eh, the most....
946
00:51:37,450 --> 00:51:39,750
fragrant blossom.
947
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,780
As the tender sapling
thirsts for rain,
948
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,900
as the eagle seeks the sky,
949
00:51:48,030 --> 00:51:51,050
as the wave
hurtles toward the shore,
950
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,990
my heart yearns for you.
951
00:51:54,460 --> 00:51:55,820
Good, good.
952
00:51:55,970 --> 00:51:58,740
You know, you're beginning
to have a feel for words.
953
00:51:58,770 --> 00:52:02,010
- Words. I'm sick of words.
- Those are your weapons.
954
00:52:02,050 --> 00:52:03,190
How else do you conquer?
955
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,130
Yes, but when, when?
956
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,190
They're fighting in the north, now.
You know that.
957
00:52:06,230 --> 00:52:07,690
The Regiment will be
called up any day,
958
00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:08,840
and I've never
even kissed her.
959
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,940
Patience, my boy, patience.
960
00:52:11,980 --> 00:52:13,110
I've been patient.
961
00:52:13,140 --> 00:52:16,280
Why, she sees the Compte de Guiche
as often as she does me.
962
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,120
Do you suppose
she's playing with me?
963
00:52:21,260 --> 00:52:22,500
Making a fool of me?
964
00:52:23,850 --> 00:52:24,880
Impossible.
965
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,210
How can you say?
How do you know?
966
00:52:27,210 --> 00:52:31,390
Cyrano, you have her confidence.
You could find out.
967
00:52:39,300 --> 00:52:40,690
Nonsense, I say.
968
00:52:42,260 --> 00:52:43,440
Oh, very well.
969
00:52:43,870 --> 00:52:45,190
I'll scout the terrain.
970
00:52:45,230 --> 00:52:47,200
Listen, Cyrano,
intelligently, discreetly.
971
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:48,160
Yes.
972
00:52:48,190 --> 00:52:49,340
With finesse.
973
00:52:52,010 --> 00:52:55,510
And, uh, what do you think
of Christian after all these weeks?
974
00:52:55,620 --> 00:52:58,030
He is beautiful,
but he's brilliant.
975
00:52:58,070 --> 00:52:59,760
- And I love him.
- Good!
976
00:52:59,870 --> 00:53:01,750
Uh, do you find him intellectual?
977
00:53:01,790 --> 00:53:03,600
- More so than you, even.
- Huh?
978
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,470
- Oh, I didn't mean.
- No, no, no, I am glad.
979
00:53:06,500 --> 00:53:09,290
No man ever so beautifully
said those things.
980
00:53:09,330 --> 00:53:11,900
Those pretty nothings
to everything.
981
00:53:12,310 --> 00:53:15,780
Sometimes, he,. he, he falls
into a reverie.
982
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,110
His inspiration..fails.
983
00:53:20,050 --> 00:53:23,940
But, then all at once,
he will say something absolutely...
984
00:53:23,980 --> 00:53:25,370
Ah!
985
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:26,760
Really?
986
00:53:27,470 --> 00:53:28,910
How like a man!
987
00:53:28,940 --> 00:53:32,220
You think because a man
has a handsome face he must be a fool.
988
00:53:33,330 --> 00:53:34,790
Not necessarily.
989
00:53:34,830 --> 00:53:38,410
Uh, he talks well about, uh,
matters of the heart?
990
00:53:38,450 --> 00:53:42,420
He does not talk.
He rhapsodizes. He dreams.
991
00:53:42,460 --> 00:53:46,360
Only the other night he said to me,
extemporaneously, mind you.
992
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:47,220
Oh, of course.
993
00:53:47,980 --> 00:53:50,660
'Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
994
00:53:50,700 --> 00:53:54,760
'Plucking the flowers
we will keep the plants in bloom.'
995
00:53:55,720 --> 00:53:56,730
Well?
996
00:53:56,770 --> 00:53:58,530
Umm, passable.
997
00:53:58,950 --> 00:54:00,010
He writes well?
998
00:54:00,050 --> 00:54:02,080
Wonderfully, listen:
999
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,510
'Knowing you have in store
more heart to give
1000
00:54:05,550 --> 00:54:08,160
- 'than I to find heart room...'
- The first he has too much heart,
1001
00:54:08,190 --> 00:54:10,400
then too little. Just how much heart
does he need?
1002
00:54:10,470 --> 00:54:11,740
You are teasing.
1003
00:54:11,870 --> 00:54:12,870
You are jealous!
1004
00:54:12,910 --> 00:54:13,690
Jealous?
1005
00:54:13,730 --> 00:54:14,440
Yes.
1006
00:54:14,470 --> 00:54:15,840
Poets are all alike.
1007
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:19,660
Would you dare
criticize these lines?
1008
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:25,100
'Only believe that unto you
my whole heart gives one cry.
1009
00:54:25,540 --> 00:54:29,470
'And writing, writes down
more than you receive.
1010
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,010
'Sending you kisses
through my fingertips.
1011
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,020
'Lady, oh, read my letter
with your lips.'
1012
00:54:39,340 --> 00:54:43,820
Yes, those last lines,
but he overwrites.
1013
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:44,970
Listen to this.
1014
00:54:45,010 --> 00:54:46,000
Do you know
them all by heart?
1015
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,070
Every one.
1016
00:54:47,110 --> 00:54:48,500
Well, I may call
that flattering.
1017
00:54:48,530 --> 00:54:49,310
He is a master.
1018
00:54:49,350 --> 00:54:51,850
- Oh, come..
- Yes, a master.
1019
00:54:51,860 --> 00:54:55,270
Huh, a master,...
if you will.
1020
00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:00,520
And, uh, when do you
bestow the laurel wreath?
1021
00:55:00,540 --> 00:55:05,290
How many prodigies of poetry
must this new Hercules perform?
1022
00:55:05,390 --> 00:55:06,490
I do not know.
1023
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:11,580
My friend, you men own the world
and all that's in it.
1024
00:55:12,020 --> 00:55:17,990
Woman is at best a prize, a property
valued much the same as a horse or a dog,
1025
00:55:18,150 --> 00:55:22,010
unlike the pear and sheen of skin
and soundness of teeth and limb.
1026
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:27,870
Well, if I must be chattel,
then the terms shall be mine,
1027
00:55:27,910 --> 00:55:31,480
and the price according
to my own values.
1028
00:55:31,510 --> 00:55:32,670
There.
1029
00:55:34,070 --> 00:55:35,460
I see.
1030
00:55:37,060 --> 00:55:39,880
Christian tells me
that you meet tonight.
1031
00:55:42,510 --> 00:55:45,210
What would you have him
speak about?
1032
00:55:46,230 --> 00:55:47,910
Oh, nothing,
1033
00:55:48,260 --> 00:55:49,530
and everything.
1034
00:55:49,980 --> 00:55:54,140
I shall say, speak to me
of love in your own words.
1035
00:55:54,550 --> 00:55:56,810
Improvise, rhapsodize.
1036
00:55:57,540 --> 00:55:58,790
Be eloquent.
1037
00:55:59,910 --> 00:56:01,540
But you will not tell him,
will you?
1038
00:56:01,570 --> 00:56:03,270
Ah, perish the thought.
1039
00:56:03,590 --> 00:56:06,370
Madame, Compte de Guiche.
1040
00:56:10,720 --> 00:56:12,820
(Sigh)
Madame.
1041
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:16,880
Monsieur.
1042
00:56:17,770 --> 00:56:18,770
Madame.
1043
00:56:21,570 --> 00:56:24,270
Monsieur.
(Crunch)
1044
00:56:33,430 --> 00:56:35,090
- Christian, quick.
- No.
1045
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,030
There's still time to learn your lines.
No.
1046
00:56:37,070 --> 00:56:39,760
I have some brilliant phrases for you,
brilliant, sensitive...
1047
00:56:39,790 --> 00:56:40,500
No.
1048
00:56:41,150 --> 00:56:42,160
I'll have not more of it.
1049
00:56:42,190 --> 00:56:44,250
Taking all my words, my sentences
all from you,
1050
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,490
- making our love a little comedy.
- Don't you real...
1051
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,480
It was a game at first,
but now she cares.
1052
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:49,390
Huh?
1053
00:56:49,430 --> 00:56:50,750
Thanks to you.
Uh.
1054
00:56:50,790 --> 00:56:53,060
I'm not afraid any longer.
I'll speak for myself, now.
1055
00:56:53,090 --> 00:56:53,720
Oh, undoubtedly.
1056
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,990
I will. You shall see!
1057
00:56:56,500 --> 00:56:59,110
Besides, I know enough
to take a woman in my arms,
1058
00:56:59,150 --> 00:57:00,870
and tonight, I will.
1059
00:57:04,070 --> 00:57:05,420
(knocking on door)
- Christian!
1060
00:57:05,450 --> 00:57:07,210
Thank you, my friend,
and goodbye.
1061
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:09,040
- Christian, I beg of you.
- Leave me!
1062
00:57:09,070 --> 00:57:10,830
- You're making a grave error.
- Go away!
1063
00:57:13,540 --> 00:57:14,540
So be it.
1064
00:57:16,950 --> 00:57:18,600
(door opens)
1065
00:57:20,300 --> 00:57:21,440
Christian.
1066
00:57:21,470 --> 00:57:22,580
Roxane.
1067
00:57:23,190 --> 00:57:25,330
I'm so glad you are early.
1068
00:57:26,430 --> 00:57:28,400
Let us stay out here
in the moonlight.
1069
00:57:29,150 --> 00:57:30,490
It's so pleasant.
1070
00:57:32,780 --> 00:57:33,630
Sit down.
1071
00:57:36,450 --> 00:57:37,720
There, so.
1072
00:57:40,770 --> 00:57:43,780
Now, speak to me.
1073
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:45,470
I love you.
1074
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,330
Yes, speak to me of love.
1075
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,390
I...love you.
1076
00:57:53,430 --> 00:57:55,640
Now, be eloquent.
Be brilliant for me.
1077
00:57:56,300 --> 00:57:57,940
Tonight of all nights.
1078
00:57:58,250 --> 00:58:01,560
I love you....so.
1079
00:58:03,610 --> 00:58:07,630
You have your scene.
Now, improvise, rhapsodize.
1080
00:58:07,660 --> 00:58:11,570
I love you...
very much!
1081
00:58:14,500 --> 00:58:17,600
I ask for cream,
and you give me milk and water.
1082
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:22,490
Tell me firstly,
how you love me.
1083
00:58:22,530 --> 00:58:23,780
Very much!
1084
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:26,440
Is that all you feel?
1085
00:58:26,470 --> 00:58:29,360
Your throat, if only
I might kiss it.
1086
00:58:29,390 --> 00:58:30,170
Christian!
1087
00:58:30,210 --> 00:58:31,520
But, Roxane, I love you.
1088
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:32,860
Again.
1089
00:58:32,890 --> 00:58:34,450
No, not again.
I do not love you.
1090
00:58:37,490 --> 00:58:38,540
That is better.
1091
00:58:39,380 --> 00:58:42,870
I...I adore you!
1092
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:43,870
Oh!
1093
00:58:44,570 --> 00:58:46,070
I know I grow absurd.
1094
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:48,870
And that distresses me as much
as if you had grown ugly!
1095
00:58:51,020 --> 00:58:54,910
Please. Gather your dreams
together into words.
1096
00:58:54,950 --> 00:58:57,830
I...um, I...
1097
00:58:57,870 --> 00:59:00,280
I know. You love me!
Good night!
1098
00:59:00,310 --> 00:59:01,440
Oh, but wait, please!
1099
00:59:01,470 --> 00:59:02,530
I was going to say...
1100
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:04,510
That you adore me.
Yes, I know that, too.
1101
00:59:04,540 --> 00:59:06,720
-No, go away.
- I....
1102
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,290
(door slams shut)
1103
00:59:25,170 --> 00:59:28,330
(Cyrano claps his hands)
1104
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:29,870
A great success.
1105
00:59:30,940 --> 00:59:31,720
Help me.
1106
00:59:31,750 --> 00:59:33,620
Not I.
Speak for yourself, my friend.
1107
00:59:33,660 --> 00:59:35,220
Why I...I can't.
1108
00:59:35,250 --> 00:59:38,040
Well, at least you know enough
to take a woman in your arms.
1109
00:59:38,070 --> 00:59:39,680
Oh, Cyrano, please!
1110
00:59:39,790 --> 00:59:41,610
What, and make your love
a little comedy.
1111
00:59:41,650 --> 00:59:44,060
Cyrano, I cannot live
unless I win her back, now.
1112
00:59:44,100 --> 00:59:44,610
This moment!
1113
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,890
This moment. How the devil
am I to teach you now, this mo...
1114
00:59:47,980 --> 00:59:48,940
(Christian)
Her window.
1115
00:59:49,510 --> 00:59:51,690
- Help me, Cyrano, help me.
- Shhhh.
1116
00:59:53,290 --> 00:59:54,800
(Cyrano)
It does seem fairly dark.
1117
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:55,780
(Christian)
Well? Well?
1118
00:59:57,490 --> 00:59:59,190
(Cyrano)
It is more than
you deserve.
1119
01:00:00,550 --> 01:00:02,010
(Cyrano)
I must try out what
can be done.
1120
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:03,040
(Cyrano)
Stand over there.
1121
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,500
(Cyrano)
Idiot, here, before the balcony.
I'll whisper you what to say.
1122
01:00:09,540 --> 01:00:11,380
- She'll hear..
- Shhhh. Call her.
1123
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:13,690
(Christian)
Roxane.
1124
01:00:14,950 --> 01:00:17,330
(Christian louder)
Roxane.
1125
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,220
(balcony window opens)
1126
01:00:21,690 --> 01:00:22,760
Who's calling?
1127
01:00:23,430 --> 01:00:24,240
Christian.
1128
01:00:24,570 --> 01:00:25,670
You again.
1129
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:27,420
I...had to tell you.
1130
01:00:27,710 --> 01:00:29,340
No. Go away.
You tell me nothing.
1131
01:00:29,370 --> 01:00:30,390
Please.
1132
01:00:30,430 --> 01:00:32,240
You do not
love me anymore.
1133
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:34,810
(Christian copies Cyrano)
No, not anymore.
1134
01:00:35,530 --> 01:00:37,340
I love you evermore,
1135
01:00:38,150 --> 01:00:40,050
and evermore and more.
1136
01:00:41,190 --> 01:00:42,640
Oh, a little better.
1137
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,160
Love grows and struggles
like an angry child.
1138
01:00:48,710 --> 01:00:50,620
Breaking my heart.
1139
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,070
His cradle...
1140
01:00:53,110 --> 01:00:54,630
Better still.
1141
01:00:55,230 --> 01:00:57,390
But such a babe is dangerous.
1142
01:00:57,910 --> 01:01:00,140
Why not have
smothered it newborn?
1143
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:03,290
And so I do.
1144
01:01:03,650 --> 01:01:05,290
And yet he lives.
1145
01:01:06,340 --> 01:01:08,910
I found as you sha...
you shall find
1146
01:01:10,250 --> 01:01:14,400
this newborn babe...
and infant Hercules!
1147
01:01:14,900 --> 01:01:15,430
Good.
1148
01:01:15,460 --> 01:01:16,820
Strong enough at birth
1149
01:01:17,740 --> 01:01:19,600
to strangle
those two serpents
1150
01:01:20,010 --> 01:01:20,550
doubt and
1151
01:01:20,590 --> 01:01:21,090
<i>What?</i>
1152
01:01:21,250 --> 01:01:22,600
pride!
1153
01:01:23,410 --> 01:01:24,440
Why, very good.
1154
01:01:25,330 --> 01:01:27,880
Only, tell me why
you speak so haltingly.
1155
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,580
Has your imagination
gone....lame?
1156
01:01:33,260 --> 01:01:35,130
(Cyrano)
This grows too difficult.
1157
01:01:35,530 --> 01:01:38,320
Your words tonight
hesitate, why?
1158
01:01:38,630 --> 01:01:42,970
Through the warm summer gloom,
they grope in darkness
1159
01:01:43,170 --> 01:01:44,690
toward the light of you.
1160
01:01:46,010 --> 01:01:47,860
My words are
heavy with honey,
1161
01:01:47,900 --> 01:01:49,360
like returning bees.
1162
01:01:50,190 --> 01:01:52,310
Yet they must fly so high.
1163
01:01:52,530 --> 01:01:54,140
Come nearer then.
Stand you on the bench.
1164
01:01:54,170 --> 01:01:55,000
No.
1165
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:56,190
Then I'll come down.
1166
01:01:56,230 --> 01:01:57,110
NO!
1167
01:01:57,570 --> 01:01:59,380
And why so great a no?
1168
01:02:00,490 --> 01:02:02,920
Let me enjoy the one
moment I ever...
1169
01:02:03,710 --> 01:02:07,110
My one chance
to speak to you...unseen.
1170
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:08,290
Unseen?
1171
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:09,740
Yes. Yes.
1172
01:02:10,070 --> 01:02:12,380
Night making all things
dimly beautiful
1173
01:02:12,410 --> 01:02:13,770
one veil over us both.
1174
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,040
You need no eyes
to hear my heart.
1175
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:20,410
Oh, tonight, let it seem as if
I speak for the first time.
1176
01:02:21,150 --> 01:02:22,110
For the first time?
1177
01:02:22,140 --> 01:02:23,000
Yes.
1178
01:02:23,940 --> 01:02:25,780
Your voice, even,
is not the same.
1179
01:02:25,810 --> 01:02:26,990
How should it be.
1180
01:02:27,030 --> 01:02:28,450
I have another
voice tonight.
1181
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:31,250
My own, myself,... daring!
1182
01:02:31,610 --> 01:02:32,610
Why daring?
1183
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,600
Because, what am I, what is any man
would he dare ask for you?
1184
01:02:36,630 --> 01:02:40,780
Therefore my heart has hidden behind
poetic words and tinsel phrases.
1185
01:02:41,260 --> 01:02:43,640
But are they not sweet,
those pretty phrases?
1186
01:02:43,670 --> 01:02:45,630
Not enough sweet
for you and me tonight.
1187
01:02:47,530 --> 01:02:49,240
You never spoke
to me like this.
1188
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,510
I tell you, there comes
one moment, once,
1189
01:02:51,540 --> 01:02:53,800
and heaven help those
who pass that moment by,
1190
01:02:53,830 --> 01:02:56,110
when beauty stands
looking into the soul
1191
01:02:56,150 --> 01:03:01,810
with grave, sweet eyes,
that sicken at pretty words.
1192
01:03:02,650 --> 01:03:06,260
Yes...that is love.
1193
01:03:06,290 --> 01:03:07,010
Love.
1194
01:03:07,050 --> 01:03:09,260
A love beyond breath,
beyond reason,
1195
01:03:09,290 --> 01:03:11,590
beyond love's own
power of loving.
1196
01:03:11,630 --> 01:03:14,200
Your name is like a golden bell
hung in my heart,
1197
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:18,450
and when I think of you I tremble,
and the bell swings and rings,
1198
01:03:18,610 --> 01:03:28,580
Roxane! Roxane!
Along my veins...Roxane.
1199
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,970
Yes...that is love.
1200
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,770
(Cyrano)
Yes...that is love.
1201
01:03:36,090 --> 01:03:38,920
That wind of terrible
and jealous beauty,
1202
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:44,200
that dark fire,
that soaring, blinding music.
1203
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,690
Yet, you may take my happiness
to make you happier
1204
01:03:47,730 --> 01:03:49,410
even though you
never know I gave it to you.
1205
01:03:49,940 --> 01:03:55,700
Only let me hear, sometimes, all alone,
the distant laughter of your joy.
1206
01:03:56,740 --> 01:03:58,470
Do you begin
to understand a little?
1207
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,200
Can you feel my soul there
in the darkness breathe on you?
1208
01:04:03,230 --> 01:04:06,630
Oh, only tonight,
now I dare say these things.
1209
01:04:06,790 --> 01:04:09,400
I to you, and you hear them.
1210
01:04:10,030 --> 01:04:12,650
It is my voice, mine, my own
that makes you tremble
1211
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,390
there in the green gloom,
above me, for you do tremble
1212
01:04:15,430 --> 01:04:18,110
as a blossom among the leaves,
you tremble, and I can feel
1213
01:04:18,140 --> 01:04:19,670
all the way down along
this jasmine branch
1214
01:04:19,710 --> 01:04:23,700
whether you will unhold
the passion of you trembling.
1215
01:04:24,340 --> 01:04:25,960
Yes, I do tremble.
1216
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,880
And I weep, and I love you,
and I am yours,
1217
01:04:29,910 --> 01:04:31,720
and you have made me thus.
1218
01:04:36,710 --> 01:04:38,250
I have done this to you.
1219
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,380
I myself.
1220
01:04:44,970 --> 01:04:47,240
Only let me ask
one thing more.
1221
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:48,900
I want a kiss!
1222
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:52,080
You ask me for...
1223
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:53,060
I...yes.
1224
01:04:53,100 --> 01:04:54,260
That is to say...
1225
01:04:54,780 --> 01:04:55,770
I mean...
1226
01:04:56,140 --> 01:04:57,450
You've gone too far.
1227
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,370
If she's willing, why
not make the most of it?
1228
01:04:59,410 --> 01:05:04,270
I, I ask.
I know I ask too much.
1229
01:05:05,150 --> 01:05:06,420
Only one?
1230
01:05:07,550 --> 01:05:08,630
Is that all?
1231
01:05:09,150 --> 01:05:12,210
All?
How much more than all?
1232
01:05:12,250 --> 01:05:16,030
I know I startle you,
I...I ask, I ask you to refuse.
1233
01:05:16,070 --> 01:05:17,200
Why? Why? Why?
1234
01:05:17,230 --> 01:05:18,350
Christian, be quiet.
1235
01:05:18,390 --> 01:05:19,430
What is that your say?
1236
01:05:19,470 --> 01:05:21,810
I am angry with myself,
because I know I go too far
1237
01:05:21,850 --> 01:05:26,270
and so I say to myself,
CHRISTIAN, BE QUIET!
1238
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:28,300
Watch it, someone comes.
1239
01:05:36,390 --> 01:05:39,180
Well, sir, I am looking
for the house of madame Roxane Robin.
1240
01:05:39,220 --> 01:05:43,450
This is not the house. That way.
To the right. Keep to the right.
1241
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:44,330
I thank you sir.
1242
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,880
I shall say my beads for you
to the very last bead.
1243
01:05:49,340 --> 01:05:50,680
Win me that kiss?
1244
01:05:51,370 --> 01:05:52,070
No!
1245
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:53,780
Sooner or later.
1246
01:05:59,170 --> 01:06:00,510
So that is true.
1247
01:06:01,460 --> 01:06:07,540
Sooner or later must be so, because,
she is young, and you are handsome.
1248
01:06:09,170 --> 01:06:15,240
Since it must be, I'd rather be
myself the cause, if it must be.
1249
01:06:16,990 --> 01:06:19,620
(balcony window opens)
1250
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:24,660
Are you still there?
1251
01:06:24,690 --> 01:06:25,470
(Cyrano)
Yes.
1252
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:28,740
We were speaking of...
1253
01:06:30,090 --> 01:06:32,450
A kiss.
- A kiss.
1254
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,340
And what is a kiss
when all is done?
1255
01:06:34,930 --> 01:06:37,080
A vow taken before
the shrine of memory.
1256
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,650
A rosy dot
over the "i" of loving.
1257
01:06:39,790 --> 01:06:42,950
- A secret whisper
to listen if the past.
1258
01:06:42,980 --> 01:06:43,650
Shhh.
1259
01:06:43,690 --> 01:06:46,720
A moment free to mortal
with a rush of wing from Ceden.
1260
01:06:46,750 --> 01:06:48,220
A sacrament of blossoms.
1261
01:06:48,260 --> 01:06:53,250
A new song sung by two hearts
to an old, simple tune.
1262
01:06:53,290 --> 01:06:54,430
Hush.
1263
01:06:54,460 --> 01:06:56,050
Why? What shame?
1264
01:06:58,010 --> 01:07:01,310
No.
No shame.
1265
01:07:01,610 --> 01:07:02,770
Then come.
1266
01:07:03,550 --> 01:07:05,680
Gather your sacred blossoms.
1267
01:07:07,250 --> 01:07:09,230
Your moment made immortal.
1268
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:09,860
Climb!
1269
01:07:10,660 --> 01:07:12,300
- But, climb?
- Many more!
1270
01:07:22,410 --> 01:07:23,760
Roxane.
1271
01:07:33,870 --> 01:07:34,690
(sigh)
1272
01:07:36,090 --> 01:07:39,770
Ah, Roxane.
I have won what I have wanted.
1273
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:45,410
A feast of love,
and I am faint with hunger.
1274
01:07:48,110 --> 01:07:51,040
Yet, I have something here
that is mine now,...
1275
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,380
and was not mine before.
1276
01:07:54,220 --> 01:07:56,790
I spoke the words
that won her.
1277
01:07:57,890 --> 01:08:05,890
She kisses my words.
My words...upon his lips.
1278
01:08:07,230 --> 01:08:08,650
(gate opens)
1279
01:08:13,250 --> 01:08:14,670
What, dear Father,
lost your way again?
1280
01:08:14,710 --> 01:08:16,270
But, she lives here,
Madame Robin.
1281
01:08:16,300 --> 01:08:17,830
Oh, I thought
you said, Rolen?
1282
01:08:17,860 --> 01:08:19,850
No, r..o..b..i..n, Robin.
1283
01:08:19,890 --> 01:08:21,030
Oh, Robin, I see.
1284
01:08:21,070 --> 01:08:23,090
I'm too old
to chase wild geese
1285
01:08:23,130 --> 01:08:25,080
- my feet...
- Oh, what a shame,
1286
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,920
(knocking on door)
however, I'm sure there's someone at home.
1287
01:08:29,330 --> 01:08:30,120
(door opens)
1288
01:08:30,150 --> 01:08:30,860
What is it?
1289
01:08:30,890 --> 01:08:34,570
Yeah, I'm looking for
the young lady, Madam Rolen
1290
01:08:34,610 --> 01:08:35,840
Rolen?
1291
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:37,080
Robin!
1292
01:08:37,950 --> 01:08:40,050
Madame!
A letter for you.
1293
01:08:40,590 --> 01:08:42,070
Yes, yes, I heard.
1294
01:08:42,970 --> 01:08:43,650
Cyrano.
1295
01:08:43,690 --> 01:08:46,080
Uh, passing by cousin,
I saw this light.
1296
01:08:46,700 --> 01:08:50,330
Uh, some matter
profitable to the soul.
1297
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:52,550
A very noble lord gave it to me.
1298
01:08:52,750 --> 01:08:53,640
(Christian)
What is it?
1299
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,100
<i>My regiment has been
ordered to the front. </i>
1300
01:08:57,130 --> 01:08:59,490
<i>I cannot allow you
to delay any longer.</i>
1301
01:08:59,530 --> 01:09:01,820
<i>This simple old monk,
who knows nothing,</i>
1302
01:09:01,850 --> 01:09:04,190
<i>will marry us tonight.
My love, Antoine de Guiche.</i>
1303
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,110
(Roxane changes everything)
1304
01:09:07,150 --> 01:09:08,880
Father, this letter
concerns you.
1305
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,930
"Madame, the Cardinal
will have his way,
1306
01:09:13,970 --> 01:09:15,530
"although against your will.
1307
01:09:15,710 --> 01:09:18,150
"That is why I am
sending this to you,
1308
01:09:18,180 --> 01:09:20,470
"by a most holy man.
1309
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,160
"Intelligent, discreet.
1310
01:09:23,580 --> 01:09:26,660
"You will communicate
to him our order to perform
1311
01:09:26,900 --> 01:09:31,160
"here and at once
the rite of holy matrimony.
1312
01:09:32,570 --> 01:09:35,910
"You and Christian will be
married privately in your house.
1313
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,760
"Be resigned to the
Cardinal's command,
1314
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:41,930
"who sends herewith
his blessings.
1315
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,060
"Your very humble,
and etcetera..."
1316
01:09:44,940 --> 01:09:46,750
Oh, this is terrible.
1317
01:09:48,220 --> 01:09:49,850
Oh, you're to be
the, uh...
1318
01:09:49,890 --> 01:09:51,490
I am to be the bridegroom.
1319
01:09:53,950 --> 01:09:56,230
Uh, look here.
A postscript.
1320
01:09:56,780 --> 01:10:02,320
"Give to the monastery,
in my name 120 pieces of gold."
1321
01:10:02,350 --> 01:10:04,070
One hundred and twenty...
1322
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,530
Oh, a worthy lord.
A very worthy lord.
1323
01:10:09,470 --> 01:10:12,030
Daughter, resign yourself.
1324
01:10:12,070 --> 01:10:14,080
I am resigned.
1325
01:10:22,350 --> 01:10:24,500
The Guiche is coming, too.
Don't let him enter.
1326
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:25,730
Not let him enter?
1327
01:10:25,770 --> 01:10:27,790
Until we're married, please.
1328
01:10:28,610 --> 01:10:30,340
(door slams shut)
1329
01:10:44,330 --> 01:10:45,250
(Count)
What is that?
1330
01:10:45,340 --> 01:10:46,330
(Cyrano)
Me?
1331
01:10:46,370 --> 01:10:48,360
- Why, where did you come from?
- The moon.
1332
01:10:48,390 --> 01:10:49,330
- You...
- From the moon.
1333
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:50,690
I have just returned
from the moon.
1334
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:52,420
- The fellow's mad!
-Like a bomb, I tell you,
1335
01:10:52,460 --> 01:10:54,130
- I fell from the moon!
- Your feet must...
1336
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:55,450
- I say THE MOON!
1337
01:10:55,480 --> 01:10:57,580
- Very well, if you say so.
- Thank you.
1338
01:10:57,610 --> 01:10:58,610
- Raving mad.
1339
01:11:00,660 --> 01:11:02,850
- Where am I?
- My dear sir!
1340
01:11:02,890 --> 01:11:04,080
- What place is this?
What country?
1341
01:11:04,110 --> 01:11:06,170
- Please, let me pass.
- This face, good heavens!
1342
01:11:06,210 --> 01:11:08,710
Maul, a robber.
Where am I?
1343
01:11:08,750 --> 01:11:12,830
- A lady is waiting for me.
- Oh, this is Paris, huh?
1344
01:11:12,870 --> 01:11:13,620
You fool!
1345
01:11:13,650 --> 01:11:14,800
Dear old Paris.
1346
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,750
Excuse my appearance.
I arrived by the last thunderbolt.
1347
01:11:17,790 --> 01:11:19,970
A trifled singed
as I passed through the ether.
1348
01:11:20,470 --> 01:11:21,320
Monsieur!
1349
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:22,080
Sir?
1350
01:11:22,130 --> 01:11:23,750
That will do, now. I wish...
1351
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,600
I know, you wish to look for
my own list of nature for moons
1352
01:11:25,630 --> 01:11:27,820
and happiness and character
of it's surface, if any.
1353
01:11:27,850 --> 01:11:29,060
I desire no such thing, I...
1354
01:11:29,100 --> 01:11:30,060
Of course not.
1355
01:11:32,940 --> 01:11:34,330
You wish to know
by what mysterious
1356
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:35,570
means I reached the moon.
1357
01:11:35,610 --> 01:11:37,870
Well, a very secret affair of state,
1358
01:11:37,900 --> 01:11:41,770
but confidentially
a new invention of my own.
1359
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:43,190
Drunk, two ways.
Well a man..
1360
01:11:43,230 --> 01:11:46,050
Oh, no. In truth I have
my choice of several inventions.
1361
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:46,600
Uh?
1362
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:50,850
Yes, several ways
to violate the virgin sky.
1363
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:52,210
Several?
1364
01:11:52,250 --> 01:11:53,510
Several.
1365
01:11:53,540 --> 01:11:57,520
As, for instance, smoke
having a natural tendency to rise,
1366
01:11:57,550 --> 01:12:02,050
blow in a globe
enough to raise me.
1367
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:03,300
Yes, that makes one.
1368
01:12:03,330 --> 01:12:06,780
Again, I might construct a rocket
in the shape of a HUGE locust
1369
01:12:06,820 --> 01:12:10,810
driven by impulses up within
a saltpeter from the rear
1370
01:12:10,850 --> 01:12:14,050
and thus speed upwards,
like, thus!
1371
01:12:14,260 --> 01:12:15,260
Yes, another?
1372
01:12:15,290 --> 01:12:18,950
Finally, seated on an iron plate,
hurl a magnet into the air.
1373
01:12:18,980 --> 01:12:21,810
The iron follows.
I catch the magnet.
1374
01:12:21,850 --> 01:12:25,330
Throw it again, and
so proceed indefinitely.
1375
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,460
Excellent, and
which did you adopt?
1376
01:12:31,450 --> 01:12:32,370
Why none of them.
1377
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:34,350
Yet another.
1378
01:12:34,390 --> 01:12:35,740
Which was...?
1379
01:12:46,810 --> 01:12:47,500
Guess.
1380
01:12:47,860 --> 01:12:49,370
Ahhh, I can't!
1381
01:12:50,090 --> 01:12:51,100
Try.
1382
01:12:52,340 --> 01:12:53,980
Interesting idiot, this.
1383
01:13:05,350 --> 01:13:06,540
Have you guessed it yet?
1384
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:07,960
Why, no, what is it?
1385
01:13:13,780 --> 01:13:15,870
Alas, you will never know,
but no matter.
1386
01:13:15,910 --> 01:13:18,470
You are free and
they are bound in wedlock.
1387
01:13:18,510 --> 01:13:21,010
I drunk that voice,
and that nose, Cyrano!
1388
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:23,710
Cyrano. This very moment
they have exchanged vows.
1389
01:13:23,750 --> 01:13:24,460
Who?
1390
01:13:29,820 --> 01:13:31,530
My sincere compliments.
1391
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,900
You, also, my traveler in space.
1392
01:13:34,940 --> 01:13:37,800
My Lord, the heads of Capathieu
and Joyce have joined together.
1393
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:38,750
Quite so!
1394
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:44,160
Madame, kindly bid
your... husband farewell.
1395
01:13:44,190 --> 01:13:46,670
Your regiment leaves tonight, sir.
Report at once!
1396
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:49,320
But, the Cadets are not called.
1397
01:13:49,350 --> 01:13:51,850
They are, indeed, and
under my command.
1398
01:13:52,710 --> 01:13:55,080
Out there we may
have an accounting.
1399
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:58,130
Somehow, that news
fails to disquiet me.
1400
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,190
Here are the orders.
Baron, deliver this.
1401
01:14:02,500 --> 01:14:03,650
Christian!
1402
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,660
The bridal night
is not so near.
1403
01:14:10,090 --> 01:14:13,400
Somehow that news
fails to disquiet me.
1404
01:14:17,710 --> 01:14:19,340
Baron, you have your orders.
1405
01:14:36,270 --> 01:14:37,530
Farewell, Roxane.
1406
01:14:38,290 --> 01:14:40,490
Take care of him, for me.
Promise me never to let him
1407
01:14:40,530 --> 01:14:41,400
do anything dangerous.
1408
01:14:41,430 --> 01:14:42,890
I will do my best.
I cannot promise.
1409
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:44,970
I thought you brave always.
Make him be careful.
1410
01:14:45,010 --> 01:14:46,070
Yes, yes, I'll try.
1411
01:14:46,110 --> 01:14:47,840
Be sure to keep him
warm and dry!
1412
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:49,150
Yes, if possible.
1413
01:14:49,190 --> 01:14:51,820
Have him write to me
every single day!
1414
01:14:51,860 --> 01:14:54,090
That, I promise you.
1415
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,970
(the war with Spain)
1416
01:15:40,820 --> 01:15:41,540
Halt!
1417
01:16:03,370 --> 01:16:03,920
Uh!
1418
01:16:13,930 --> 01:16:18,590
(Madame Baroness de Neuvillette,
Rue Marais No. 12, Paris)
1419
01:16:46,610 --> 01:16:48,170
The situation
is simple, gentlemen.
1420
01:16:48,420 --> 01:16:53,340
We have besieged Arras.
The Prince of Spain has besieged us.
1421
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,960
Consequently, we
are surrounded.
1422
01:16:56,050 --> 01:16:58,920
- A fine war. Where
the besiegers are besieged
1423
01:16:58,950 --> 01:17:00,020
and starve to death.
1424
01:17:00,060 --> 01:17:01,990
Yes, but the Marshal has
devised a brilliant plan
1425
01:17:02,030 --> 01:17:03,480
for bringing in food
this very night.
1426
01:17:03,510 --> 01:17:04,460
Now, see here.
1427
01:17:04,500 --> 01:17:06,240
Spare us the details, Colonel.
1428
01:17:06,270 --> 01:17:08,820
Merely inform us
when the food arrives.
1429
01:17:08,860 --> 01:17:11,380
True, we are hungry.
But why blame me?
1430
01:17:11,700 --> 01:17:13,320
I'm only your Colonel.
1431
01:17:14,700 --> 01:17:16,910
Oh, yes, I know
you disprove of me.
1432
01:17:17,020 --> 01:17:18,940
Call me courtier, politician.
1433
01:17:19,430 --> 01:17:22,080
Well, I can afford you little hates.
1434
01:17:22,110 --> 01:17:24,730
My conduct under fire
is well known.
1435
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,170
It was only yesterday
I repelled a Spanish attack.
1436
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,070
Pouring my men down
like an avalanche.
1437
01:17:29,250 --> 01:17:30,710
I, myself lead the charge.
1438
01:17:30,900 --> 01:17:33,330
- And your white scarf?
(through a cannon barrel)
1439
01:17:33,370 --> 01:17:34,130
Cyrano!
1440
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:39,140
And your white scarf?
1441
01:17:39,150 --> 01:17:40,480
Eh, you heard that episode?
1442
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:44,110
Yes, I was so far in advance
I was in danger of being captured.
1443
01:17:44,180 --> 01:17:46,570
But I thought quickly,
took off and flung away
1444
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,290
the scarf that marked
my military rank.
1445
01:17:48,420 --> 01:17:51,150
And so being inconspicuous
escaped among my own force,
1446
01:17:51,410 --> 01:17:54,250
rallied them, returned,
and won the day.
1447
01:17:54,290 --> 01:17:55,500
What do you say to that?
1448
01:17:55,540 --> 01:17:58,550
Still, enough that is not likely
to resign the privilege of being a target.
1449
01:17:58,580 --> 01:18:01,690
How pleasant for you
that you are denied that privilege.
1450
01:18:01,730 --> 01:18:03,650
Pleasant?
Lend me your scarf.
1451
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:05,570
With your permission I shall
lead the first charge tonight
1452
01:18:05,610 --> 01:18:06,890
wearing it over my shoulder.
1453
01:18:06,930 --> 01:18:07,720
What bluster.
1454
01:18:07,750 --> 01:18:09,630
You're safe making that offer,
and you know it.
1455
01:18:09,670 --> 01:18:12,620
My scarf lies on the
river bank between the lines.
1456
01:18:12,650 --> 01:18:15,560
A spot swept by artillery.
Impossible to reach alive.
1457
01:18:15,700 --> 01:18:16,700
Yes.
1458
01:18:16,730 --> 01:18:20,500
(displays the Colonel's scarf)
1459
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:22,410
Here.
1460
01:18:22,580 --> 01:18:24,590
(laughter)
1461
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:26,500
Thank you.
1462
01:18:28,180 --> 01:18:31,000
This bit of white is
what I need to make a signal.
1463
01:18:31,820 --> 01:18:33,360
I was hesitating.
1464
01:18:33,940 --> 01:18:35,720
You have decided me.
1465
01:18:41,370 --> 01:18:43,010
- Stand or I'll fire!
- Hold you fire.
1466
01:18:43,050 --> 01:18:44,650
There's a man down
there running away.
1467
01:18:44,690 --> 01:18:46,700
Yes, a Spaniard.
1468
01:18:47,440 --> 01:18:50,310
But very useful as a spy
to both sides.
1469
01:18:51,270 --> 01:18:52,480
As I was about
to tell you.
1470
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,100
The Marshal has withdrawn
more than half our forces here.
1471
01:18:55,140 --> 01:18:57,190
Fortunately, the Spaniards
do not know that.
1472
01:18:57,230 --> 01:19:00,470
Oh, yes, they do now,
and they will attack tonight.
1473
01:19:00,510 --> 01:19:02,240
At this point.
1474
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:04,520
Your revenge, eh?
1475
01:19:04,550 --> 01:19:06,670
I make not great
pretense in loving you.
1476
01:19:06,770 --> 01:19:10,170
But since you gentlemen
esteem yourselves invincible,
1477
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,710
the bravest of the brave,
and all that.
1478
01:19:12,750 --> 01:19:14,120
Why need we be personal.
1479
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,710
The Marshal needs
a diversion, and I serve him
1480
01:19:16,740 --> 01:19:19,040
in choosing as I chose.
1481
01:19:19,210 --> 01:19:21,440
As you can see, Captain,
the great thing is to gain time.
1482
01:19:21,470 --> 01:19:23,070
To hold until the Marshal returns.
1483
01:19:23,180 --> 01:19:24,980
- And to gain time?
1484
01:19:25,490 --> 01:19:31,370
You will all be so kind
as to lay down your lives.
1485
01:19:39,610 --> 01:19:40,700
Christian?
1486
01:19:40,740 --> 01:19:41,400
Yes.
1487
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:46,130
Roxane?
1488
01:19:46,940 --> 01:19:49,260
I should like to say
farewell to her
1489
01:19:49,290 --> 01:19:51,580
with my whole
heart for her to keep.
1490
01:19:53,630 --> 01:19:55,610
I have taken the liberty of...
1491
01:19:58,580 --> 01:20:03,760
(the first letter
Christian is aware of)
1492
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:05,110
But, wait.
1493
01:20:07,270 --> 01:20:08,180
This little spot.
1494
01:20:08,620 --> 01:20:09,360
Spot?
1495
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:10,100
Yes.
1496
01:20:10,470 --> 01:20:11,550
A tear.
1497
01:20:13,500 --> 01:20:14,210
Is nothing.
1498
01:20:14,250 --> 01:20:16,860
A poet while he writes
is like a lover in his lady's arms,
1499
01:20:16,890 --> 01:20:19,060
believing his imagination,
everything seems real.
1500
01:20:19,090 --> 01:20:20,710
There's half the charm
of writing.
1501
01:20:21,230 --> 01:20:24,000
Now, I made this letter
so pathetic, that,
1502
01:20:24,030 --> 01:20:27,290
while I was writing it,
I wept.
1503
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:28,110
You wept?
1504
01:20:28,650 --> 01:20:31,590
Why, yes, because
it is a little thing to die,
1505
01:20:32,500 --> 01:20:36,710
but not to see her,...
that is terrible.
1506
01:20:37,700 --> 01:20:41,890
I shall never...,
you will never...
1507
01:20:42,480 --> 01:20:43,690
Give me that.
1508
01:20:45,190 --> 01:20:48,500
- Halt. Who goes there.
- On the service of the King.
1509
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:01,330
- The King!
- Fall in...
1510
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:11,620
Good evening.
1511
01:21:11,650 --> 01:21:13,540
On the King's service, you?
1512
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:25,850
- Gentlemen,...
- What are you doing here?
1513
01:21:25,890 --> 01:21:28,300
- We heard rumors at home
you were hungry,
1514
01:21:28,340 --> 01:21:29,810
- so we came prepared.
1515
01:21:29,850 --> 01:21:34,500
The Spaniards adored the fare,
but they missed the fowl!
1516
01:21:34,530 --> 01:21:37,560
(soldiers clamor for food)
1517
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:47,020
But why did you come here
into this, this danger?
1518
01:21:47,060 --> 01:21:49,420
They said in Paris
there was no fighting.
1519
01:21:50,450 --> 01:21:53,620
Besides, it was your own fault.
1520
01:22:01,410 --> 01:22:03,770
Think of the
letters you have written me.
1521
01:22:04,050 --> 01:22:06,510
How many times!
Every day!
1522
01:22:06,550 --> 01:22:07,680
Every day?
1523
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:08,820
Of course.
1524
01:22:08,980 --> 01:22:11,560
And each one
more wonderful than the last.
1525
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:14,820
All this, for a few absurd love letters.
1526
01:22:14,860 --> 01:22:18,050
Hush. Absurd?
Your letters...no, never.
1527
01:22:19,030 --> 01:22:22,730
Every one was like hearing your voice
that night in the dark. Remember?
1528
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:26,590
Like your arms around me.
I read them over and over.
1529
01:22:26,630 --> 01:22:30,420
Every page was like
a petal fallen from you soul.
1530
01:22:30,460 --> 01:22:33,350
Like the light
and the fire of a great love.
1531
01:22:33,390 --> 01:22:36,020
- Sweet and strong and true.
- Sweet.
1532
01:22:36,180 --> 01:22:37,280
Strong.
1533
01:22:37,590 --> 01:22:38,490
True?
1534
01:22:41,570 --> 01:22:43,090
Oh, my Christian.
1535
01:22:43,690 --> 01:22:46,420
I came here to ask forgiveness.
1536
01:22:47,660 --> 01:22:49,380
It is time to be forgiven.
1537
01:22:49,860 --> 01:22:51,950
Now, when we
may die so soon.
1538
01:22:53,780 --> 01:22:55,380
Forgive me for being
light and vain
1539
01:22:55,410 --> 01:22:57,570
and loving you only
because you were handsome.
1540
01:22:57,600 --> 01:22:59,230
- For now...
- Now?
1541
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:01,940
I love you for yourself.
1542
01:23:02,350 --> 01:23:04,090
For what you are.
1543
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:05,340
Roxane.
1544
01:23:05,910 --> 01:23:09,000
How you must have suffered.
For you saw how frivolous I was.
1545
01:23:09,030 --> 01:23:11,300
And to be loved
for the mere costume,
1546
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,090
for the poor, casual
body you went about in.
1547
01:23:14,750 --> 01:23:17,620
To a soul like yours,
that must have been torture.
1548
01:23:17,650 --> 01:23:18,390
No.
1549
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:23,140
I understand.
1550
01:23:23,790 --> 01:23:25,930
You cannot perfectly
believe in me,
1551
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:27,530
a...a love like this...
1552
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:29,090
I want no love like this.
1553
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,020
I want love only for...
1554
01:23:31,050 --> 01:23:33,090
Only for what every
woman sees in you.
1555
01:23:33,700 --> 01:23:35,030
I can to better than that.
1556
01:23:35,060 --> 01:23:37,240
No, it...it was best before.
1557
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,090
You do not
altogether know me.
1558
01:23:40,540 --> 01:23:42,260
I was a child.
1559
01:23:42,350 --> 01:23:43,650
I'm a woman now.
1560
01:23:44,250 --> 01:23:46,720
- If...if you were less handsome,
- No.
1561
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:50,130
unattractive, ugly even,
I should love you, still.
1562
01:23:50,770 --> 01:23:51,900
Do you mean that?
1563
01:23:52,510 --> 01:23:53,750
I do mean that.
1564
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:55,020
Ugly?
1565
01:23:55,100 --> 01:23:56,200
Even then.
1566
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:58,050
Now, are you happy?
1567
01:24:03,470 --> 01:24:04,650
Yes.
1568
01:24:04,690 --> 01:24:05,500
What is it?
1569
01:24:06,190 --> 01:24:08,690
Nothing, only, Cyrano...
1570
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:10,830
Cyrano.
1571
01:24:12,050 --> 01:24:14,090
he has something
to tell you.
1572
01:24:16,180 --> 01:24:17,200
Where are you going?
1573
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:20,690
I...will...return...in a moment.
1574
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:30,050
Cyrano.
1575
01:24:30,650 --> 01:24:32,480
Your wife, sir,
she goes with me?
1576
01:24:32,510 --> 01:24:33,340
No, sir, she remains.
1577
01:24:33,380 --> 01:24:34,670
There is still time
for her to escape.
1578
01:24:34,710 --> 01:24:35,640
She stays!
1579
01:24:36,030 --> 01:24:36,790
Very well.
1580
01:24:36,820 --> 01:24:38,950
Someone give me a musket.
I stay here also.
1581
01:24:39,420 --> 01:24:40,640
Sir, you show courage.
1582
01:24:40,670 --> 01:24:42,890
What, shall I run away,
and leave a woman?
1583
01:24:43,450 --> 01:24:45,320
Colonel, my compliments, sir.
1584
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:47,810
What of Roxane?
1585
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:48,470
Wait.
1586
01:24:49,350 --> 01:24:50,860
Well, what is it?
You look so...
1587
01:24:52,830 --> 01:24:54,580
She does not love me.
1588
01:24:54,990 --> 01:24:57,310
- You think not?
- She loves you.
1589
01:24:57,340 --> 01:24:59,630
- No.
- She loves only my soul.
1590
01:24:59,660 --> 01:25:00,370
- No.
- Yes!
1591
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:03,140
That means you.
And you love her.
1592
01:25:03,170 --> 01:25:05,300
- I?
- I see. I know.
1593
01:25:05,340 --> 01:25:08,310
You wrote her,
everyday, every day!
1594
01:25:08,820 --> 01:25:10,030
- Perfectly simple.
- Simple?
1595
01:25:10,060 --> 01:25:11,700
For a month,
we've been blockaded here.
1596
01:25:11,740 --> 01:25:13,340
How did you send
all those letters?
1597
01:25:13,370 --> 01:25:14,500
Before daylight
I managed...
1598
01:25:14,530 --> 01:25:16,070
To face death
everyday.
1599
01:25:16,820 --> 01:25:17,950
You love her.
1600
01:25:19,020 --> 01:25:20,190
Yes.
1601
01:25:26,950 --> 01:25:27,890
Tell her so.
1602
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:29,250
- No.
- Why not?
1603
01:25:29,350 --> 01:25:32,290
Why?
Look at me.
1604
01:25:32,590 --> 01:25:35,420
She would love me
if I were ugly.
1605
01:25:35,990 --> 01:25:38,820
- She said that?
- Yes. Now, go to her.
1606
01:25:40,090 --> 01:25:42,410
Nonsense. Do not
believe any such madness.
1607
01:25:42,440 --> 01:25:44,730
Go back to her.
You never will be ugly.
1608
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:45,810
Go!
It is you she loves.
1609
01:25:45,850 --> 01:25:46,870
That is what
we shall see.
1610
01:25:46,900 --> 01:25:47,840
No, no!
1611
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:49,480
- Let her chose between us.
- No.
1612
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:51,510
- Tell her everything.
- Why do you torture me?
1613
01:25:51,550 --> 01:25:54,700
Shall I ruin your happiness,
because I was born with a pretty face?
1614
01:25:54,740 --> 01:25:57,210
Am I to ruin yours,
because I happen to have power
1615
01:25:57,250 --> 01:25:58,750
to say what you perhaps feel?
1616
01:25:58,780 --> 01:26:00,910
- Tell her!
- Don't drive me too far!
1617
01:26:00,950 --> 01:26:03,210
- I'm tired of being my own rival.
- Hard to know.
1618
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:05,470
My secret marriage, that
can be annulled, I expect.
1619
01:26:05,500 --> 01:26:07,790
I want her love
for the poor fool than I am,
1620
01:26:07,860 --> 01:26:09,020
or not at all.
1621
01:26:09,390 --> 01:26:12,090
Oh, I'm going through with this.
I'll know one way or the other.
1622
01:26:12,870 --> 01:26:15,280
Now, go!....Tell her.
1623
01:26:15,480 --> 01:26:16,790
Let her chose one of us.
1624
01:26:17,570 --> 01:26:18,780
It will be you.
1625
01:26:19,670 --> 01:26:21,330
I hope so.
1626
01:26:33,070 --> 01:26:33,820
- Captain!
1627
01:26:36,570 --> 01:26:38,100
The Spanish fires are going out.
1628
01:26:41,030 --> 01:26:42,160
It begins.
1629
01:26:42,220 --> 01:26:44,140
I need a scout. Where's Cyrano.
1630
01:26:44,490 --> 01:26:45,280
Captain.
1631
01:26:45,850 --> 01:26:46,740
Let me go.
1632
01:26:46,780 --> 01:26:49,490
No, my boy, Cyrano knows
the terrain. He knows their lines.
1633
01:26:49,530 --> 01:26:51,550
So do I.
Please, allow me.
1634
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:56,070
Very well.
We must know from which
1635
01:26:56,110 --> 01:26:58,810
direction the advance comes.
Their weight and numbers.
1636
01:26:58,840 --> 01:26:59,560
I understand.
1637
01:27:11,940 --> 01:27:12,780
Roxane.
1638
01:27:13,430 --> 01:27:14,450
Cyrano.
1639
01:27:14,480 --> 01:27:15,930
Christian thinks...
1640
01:27:17,470 --> 01:27:19,190
Christian thinks you
ought to know that...
1641
01:27:19,220 --> 01:27:20,240
But I do know.
1642
01:27:20,770 --> 01:27:22,850
He still doubts what I
just told him, just now.
1643
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:23,860
I saw that.
1644
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:27,560
Yes, but,...was it true,
what you told him just now?
1645
01:27:27,590 --> 01:27:28,900
It was true.
1646
01:27:28,990 --> 01:27:32,270
I said that I should love him,
even if he were....
1647
01:27:33,020 --> 01:27:34,580
The word comes
hard before me?
1648
01:27:37,420 --> 01:27:38,860
Say it, I shall
not be hurt.
1649
01:27:39,370 --> 01:27:40,620
Ugly?
1650
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:42,130
Even, then
I should love him.
1651
01:27:43,500 --> 01:27:44,690
Disfigured.
1652
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:45,870
Or disfigured.
1653
01:27:46,480 --> 01:27:49,620
Even....grotesque.
1654
01:27:49,650 --> 01:27:51,350
How could he
every be grotesque,
1655
01:27:51,810 --> 01:27:52,950
ever to me?
1656
01:27:52,990 --> 01:27:55,580
But, you could love him so,
as much as?
1657
01:27:55,610 --> 01:27:56,790
Yes, and more.
1658
01:27:57,320 --> 01:27:58,320
Roxane...
1659
01:27:58,350 --> 01:27:59,300
(gunshot)
1660
01:27:59,340 --> 01:28:00,260
What is it?
1661
01:28:01,550 --> 01:28:02,600
Are they fighting?
1662
01:28:05,250 --> 01:28:06,510
What is happening?
1663
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:08,010
- The Spaniards advance,
1664
01:28:08,940 --> 01:28:09,930
but there is time.
1665
01:28:10,480 --> 01:28:12,370
- Where is Christian?
- At the parapet.
1666
01:28:12,820 --> 01:28:13,890
Oh, of course.
1667
01:28:14,930 --> 01:28:16,750
What is it
that you wish to tell me?
1668
01:28:16,780 --> 01:28:18,140
Roxane,...
1669
01:28:18,810 --> 01:28:21,690
believe me this is difficult,
and for once I lack words.
1670
01:28:24,690 --> 01:28:26,330
Christian asked me to...
1671
01:28:26,440 --> 01:28:27,850
He told me...
1672
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:38,220
Christian!
1673
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:42,970
To your places, gentlemen.
1674
01:28:43,970 --> 01:28:45,130
Is he dead?
1675
01:28:45,170 --> 01:28:46,260
No, but dying.
1676
01:28:46,300 --> 01:28:47,660
I will not let him!
1677
01:28:51,870 --> 01:28:54,530
Cyrano...did you?
1678
01:28:54,570 --> 01:28:56,610
Yes, my friend.
I have told her.
1679
01:28:58,350 --> 01:28:59,450
She loves you.
1680
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:02,190
Roxane.
1681
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:03,570
Yes, my darling.
1682
01:29:06,020 --> 01:29:07,320
Christian!
1683
01:29:08,170 --> 01:29:09,370
He is not dead?
1684
01:29:10,930 --> 01:29:11,830
Yes.
1685
01:29:12,310 --> 01:29:13,640
(gasp)
1686
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:22,890
Time you must go, now.
1687
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:25,860
Really, he is dead.
1688
01:29:25,890 --> 01:29:27,740
No one else
knew him but you.
1689
01:29:28,250 --> 01:29:29,630
Was he not a hero?
1690
01:29:29,670 --> 01:29:30,700
Yes, Roxane.
1691
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:33,340
A heart deeper
than we knew.
1692
01:29:33,380 --> 01:29:34,930
Yes, Roxane.
1693
01:29:35,010 --> 01:29:39,310
A poet.
A soul magnificently tender.
1694
01:29:41,750 --> 01:29:43,660
Yes, Roxane.
1695
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:46,740
But he is dead now.
1696
01:29:48,390 --> 01:29:50,030
(collapses sobbing)
1697
01:29:50,070 --> 01:29:51,230
Why, so am I.
1698
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:55,060
For I am dead
and my love mourns for me
1699
01:29:55,100 --> 01:29:56,550
and does not know.
1700
01:29:58,190 --> 01:29:59,530
Will never know.
1701
01:29:59,570 --> 01:30:00,990
(rapid gunfire)
1702
01:30:01,030 --> 01:30:02,410
(bugle calls)
1703
01:30:03,030 --> 01:30:04,030
Take her away quickly.
1704
01:30:05,670 --> 01:30:06,500
Wait.
1705
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:09,220
A letter over his heart.
1706
01:30:11,490 --> 01:30:12,850
(sobbing)
1707
01:30:16,740 --> 01:30:18,460
I have two deaths
to avenge, now,
1708
01:30:19,090 --> 01:30:22,670
Christian's...and my own.
1709
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:42,210
(fighting becomes intense)
1710
01:30:43,330 --> 01:30:46,820
(the Spanish army advances)
1711
01:30:49,450 --> 01:30:50,280
Fire!
1712
01:31:00,270 --> 01:31:02,810
Surrender or you die!
1713
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:51,720
(de Guiche)
Look! The signal!
1714
01:32:59,940 --> 01:33:00,940
Ah!
1715
01:33:07,070 --> 01:33:09,610
We fought. We died.
We fought again.
1716
01:33:09,750 --> 01:33:12,760
Who are these men who are
so fond of death, one Spaniard cried.
1717
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:14,440
On and on, they came.
1718
01:33:14,570 --> 01:33:17,210
Then, when all seemed lost,
we heard the trumpets
1719
01:33:17,250 --> 01:33:19,850
of our returning troops.
The battle was ours!
1720
01:33:20,690 --> 01:33:24,050
Ah, you have been fortunate,
Ms. de Bergerac, you have lived!
1721
01:33:24,090 --> 01:33:28,870
While we, we waste our youth.
There is no war and not hope for any.
1722
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:30,880
No hope for any?
1723
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:34,220
My fellow, I just realize,
we are both fools.
1724
01:33:34,630 --> 01:33:37,550
But mine is the greater folly,
for I am an older fool.
1725
01:33:38,170 --> 01:33:42,320
What is more......
Everything I told you was a lie.
1726
01:33:47,550 --> 01:33:49,680
Another satire
for the Gazette?
1727
01:33:49,710 --> 01:33:50,410
Yes.
1728
01:33:50,820 --> 01:33:53,480
Another glove flung
in the face of power?
1729
01:33:53,650 --> 01:33:55,400
Oh, why do you
do it, Cyrano?
1730
01:33:55,430 --> 01:33:57,860
- Why do you attack...
- Stupidity?
1731
01:33:57,880 --> 01:34:01,180
Deceit? Corruption?
I'm too old to change.
1732
01:34:01,370 --> 01:34:03,980
I'm an old dog
with nothing left but his teeth.
1733
01:34:04,010 --> 01:34:06,580
Ah, but teeth can be pulled.
That can be painful.
1734
01:34:10,440 --> 01:34:14,580
That insolent wretch.
That scoundrel de Bergerac.
1735
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:17,180
This time he's gone too far.
I swear it.
1736
01:34:17,210 --> 01:34:18,790
He's signed his death warrant.
1737
01:34:19,950 --> 01:34:21,730
And who will deliver it?
1738
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:25,040
His sword is still very
powerful, my friend.
1739
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:27,230
There are may ways
a man can die.
1740
01:34:27,990 --> 01:34:29,550
Who knows?
1741
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:31,430
He may meet
with an accident.
1742
01:34:32,550 --> 01:34:33,570
Soon.
1743
01:34:35,100 --> 01:34:38,710
(church chimes)
1744
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:46,060
But, uh, tell me, Madame.
1745
01:34:46,180 --> 01:34:50,830
How long will you continue
to remain here, forever in mourning?
1746
01:34:51,670 --> 01:34:52,570
Forever.
1747
01:34:53,060 --> 01:34:55,080
Was Christian all that?
1748
01:34:55,770 --> 01:34:57,400
If you knew him
you would not ask.
1749
01:34:57,950 --> 01:35:00,150
His last letter
is still in my heart.
1750
01:35:00,820 --> 01:35:04,770
And, uh, Cyrano?
Do you see him often?
1751
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:09,240
Every week. My old friend
takes the place of my Gazette.
1752
01:35:09,620 --> 01:35:11,320
He brings me all the news.
1753
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:14,940
Every Saturday under
that tree out there.
1754
01:35:14,980 --> 01:35:17,070
I wait for him embroidering.
1755
01:35:17,430 --> 01:35:20,240
The hour strikes.
I need not turn to look.
1756
01:35:20,570 --> 01:35:24,070
At the last stroke,
I hear his cane tapping the walk.
1757
01:35:24,100 --> 01:35:26,430
His satires have made
him many enemies.
1758
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:29,740
But, they still fear
that sword of his.
1759
01:35:30,330 --> 01:35:32,130
No one dare touch him.
1760
01:35:32,510 --> 01:35:33,670
Hm, that may be so.
1761
01:35:35,620 --> 01:35:38,160
It is not violence
I fear for him,
1762
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:42,560
but solitude, poverty.
Old gray Decembers
1763
01:35:42,590 --> 01:35:45,350
stealing on wolf's feet
into his darkened room.
1764
01:35:46,010 --> 01:35:48,230
It seems to me he's
worn the same old coat
1765
01:35:48,260 --> 01:35:49,610
for many months, now.
1766
01:35:49,650 --> 01:35:51,740
Eh, that is nothing
strange in this world.
1767
01:35:51,780 --> 01:35:53,820
You need not pity
him overmuch.
1768
01:35:53,860 --> 01:35:56,930
He lives his life,
his own life his own way,
1769
01:35:56,970 --> 01:36:00,300
thought, word and deed free.
1770
01:36:00,450 --> 01:36:01,610
My Lord Duke.
1771
01:36:01,750 --> 01:36:05,860
Oh, yes, I know.
I have all. He has nothing.
1772
01:36:06,370 --> 01:36:12,170
Nevertheless, today,
I should be proud to shake his hand.
1773
01:36:12,350 --> 01:36:14,000
Ah, well, adieu.
1774
01:36:14,670 --> 01:36:16,300
Will I ever see you again?
1775
01:36:16,340 --> 01:36:17,970
Come whenever you like.
1776
01:36:18,010 --> 01:36:19,610
Then, you have forgiven me.
1777
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:21,680
I am here.
1778
01:36:22,950 --> 01:36:25,380
Do you know?
When a man wins
1779
01:36:25,420 --> 01:36:29,750
everything in this world,
when he succeeds too much,
1780
01:36:29,790 --> 01:36:34,190
he feels, somehow,
a thousand small displeasures
1781
01:36:34,230 --> 01:36:38,560
with himself, whose whole sum
is not quite remorse
1782
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:45,570
but rather a sort of vague
disgust, dry illusions, pained regrets.
1783
01:36:45,870 --> 01:36:48,730
Yes, now and then,
I envy your Cyrano.
1784
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:50,860
The sentiment
does you honor.
1785
01:36:50,890 --> 01:36:52,250
(chuckling)
1786
01:36:59,350 --> 01:37:04,280
Madame, I must tell you,
it is true that no one has yet
1787
01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:06,490
dared to attack
your friend Cyrano.
1788
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:11,380
Nevertheless, at the theater
last night, I heard some things.
1789
01:37:12,260 --> 01:37:13,720
Keep him at home all you can.
1790
01:37:14,090 --> 01:37:17,330
Tomorrow when you see him,
tell him to be careful.
1791
01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:19,130
I thank you.
1792
01:37:32,050 --> 01:37:33,140
(Cyrano)
Good night, Ragueneau.
1793
01:37:33,180 --> 01:37:35,120
(Ragueneau)
Cyrano, you not leaving?
1794
01:37:35,150 --> 01:37:37,030
You will not have
dinner here with me?
1795
01:37:37,060 --> 01:37:38,860
(Cyrano)
My regrets. I have a magnificent
1796
01:37:38,900 --> 01:37:42,450
roast waiting for me, a rare wine,
a gift from my publisher.
1797
01:37:42,490 --> 01:37:43,890
(Ragueneau)
Fine, to be sure.
1798
01:37:44,650 --> 01:37:47,490
Uh, have you seen
Moliere's new play?
1799
01:37:47,530 --> 01:37:48,160
No.
1800
01:37:48,340 --> 01:37:49,650
Heh, ah, well....
1801
01:37:49,690 --> 01:37:50,580
What is it?
1802
01:37:50,610 --> 01:37:51,460
Well, he...
1803
01:37:51,500 --> 01:37:52,250
Speak.
1804
01:37:52,290 --> 01:37:55,220
He stole a scene
from you, word for word.
1805
01:37:55,250 --> 01:37:57,140
You know, "What the devil
was he doing there?"
1806
01:37:57,170 --> 01:37:57,730
That one.
1807
01:37:57,770 --> 01:37:59,040
He stole it, bodily.
1808
01:37:59,070 --> 01:38:01,300
Well, he showed
good taste.
1809
01:38:01,340 --> 01:38:03,020
It, uh, played well?
1810
01:38:03,060 --> 01:38:05,450
Oh, beautifully. They
laughed and laughed.
1811
01:38:05,480 --> 01:38:06,810
Oh, how they laughed.
1812
01:38:07,250 --> 01:38:08,560
Moliere has genius.
1813
01:38:09,370 --> 01:38:11,010
Christian had good looks.
1814
01:38:12,170 --> 01:38:13,610
With me, it was
always thus.
1815
01:38:16,050 --> 01:38:17,240
Good night, my friend.
1816
01:38:32,340 --> 01:38:32,950
(man)
Hold, there.
1817
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:33,950
(man)
You!
1818
01:38:35,650 --> 01:38:36,850
(Cyrano)
Are you addressing me?
1819
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:38,990
Yes, you, Monsieur
of the long nose.
1820
01:38:39,100 --> 01:38:40,000
Insolence.
1821
01:38:40,290 --> 01:38:41,990
- Foulmouthed scribbler.
- What?
1822
01:38:42,020 --> 01:38:43,440
- Lair, plagiarist!
- Liar.
1823
01:38:47,910 --> 01:38:49,660
(whistling to wagon)
1824
01:39:08,630 --> 01:39:10,920
(driver whips horses)
1825
01:39:27,570 --> 01:39:28,490
Doctor.
1826
01:39:29,930 --> 01:39:31,260
Why pretend?
1827
01:39:31,550 --> 01:39:32,910
It is very grave.
1828
01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:35,500
Keep him quiet
at all costs.
1829
01:39:35,540 --> 01:39:38,500
If he attempts
to rise, he will die.
1830
01:39:38,540 --> 01:39:39,810
Shhhh.
1831
01:39:43,220 --> 01:39:43,930
Thank you.
1832
01:39:44,980 --> 01:39:47,240
(door closes)
1833
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:55,820
(gate bell rings)
1834
01:39:59,820 --> 01:40:01,490
(gate opens)
1835
01:40:01,530 --> 01:40:03,170
Monsieur.
1836
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:03,860
Ah, Sister.
1837
01:40:09,810 --> 01:40:10,880
(gasp)
1838
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:12,350
What is the matter
with you?
1839
01:40:14,480 --> 01:40:15,900
Shall I tell you
something, Sister?
1840
01:40:16,540 --> 01:40:20,470
Yesterday, Friday, mind you,
I ate meat again.
1841
01:40:21,930 --> 01:40:23,000
Yes, I know.
1842
01:40:23,350 --> 01:40:25,080
That is why you
are so pale.
1843
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:27,930
Please come to me
to the refectory before you go.
1844
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,250
I'll make you a great
bowl of hot soup.
1845
01:40:30,280 --> 01:40:31,630
Of course, of course.
1846
01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:33,950
You're quite reasonable today.
1847
01:40:33,990 --> 01:40:36,120
Perhaps you'll convert me.
1848
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:38,260
Oh, no! Not for the world.
1849
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:40,690
Why, now I think of it,
that is so.
1850
01:40:41,070 --> 01:40:44,560
You, bursting with holiness,
and yet you never preach.
1851
01:40:45,470 --> 01:40:46,760
Astonishing.
1852
01:40:47,060 --> 01:40:49,100
And now I shall astonish you.
1853
01:40:49,690 --> 01:40:54,110
I'm going to let you
pray for me tonight, at Vespers.
1854
01:40:55,830 --> 01:40:58,700
Absolutely struck dumb, eh?
1855
01:41:02,550 --> 01:41:05,180
I did not wait for you
to say I might.
1856
01:41:14,930 --> 01:41:17,450
Now may the devil admire
me if never hope to see
1857
01:41:17,490 --> 01:41:19,570
the end of that embroidery.
1858
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:23,440
After 14 years,
late for the first time.
1859
01:41:23,480 --> 01:41:26,550
Yes.
Yes, maddening.
1860
01:41:27,330 --> 01:41:31,480
I was detained by
a visitor. Most unexpected.
1861
01:41:32,150 --> 01:41:33,660
An old friend of mine.
1862
01:41:34,540 --> 01:41:36,830
At least a very
old acquaintance.
1863
01:41:36,870 --> 01:41:38,320
Did you tell him
to go away?
1864
01:41:38,980 --> 01:41:40,410
For the time being, yes.
1865
01:41:40,440 --> 01:41:45,270
I said excuse me,
I see that it's Saturday,
1866
01:41:45,620 --> 01:41:48,200
I have a previous
engagement.
1867
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:49,620
One I cannot miss.
1868
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:52,340
Even for you.
1869
01:41:53,250 --> 01:41:55,310
Come back an hour from now.
1870
01:41:55,420 --> 01:41:59,170
Your friend will have to wait.
I shall not let you go till dark.
1871
01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:04,970
Perhaps a little before dark,
I must go.
1872
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:09,080
Oh, then tell me now
the court news. My Gazette.
1873
01:42:10,390 --> 01:42:14,190
Ah, yes, well, let me see.
1874
01:42:16,350 --> 01:42:20,840
Saturday, 19th, the King
fell ill after eight helpings of
1875
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:22,170
grape marmalade.
1876
01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:26,320
Grape marmalade will
no longer be served at court.
1877
01:42:28,190 --> 01:42:33,010
Sunday, the royal pulse
is now normal.
1878
01:42:34,630 --> 01:42:37,930
Monday, everyone was
talking about the success
1879
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:39,600
of Moliere's new play.
1880
01:42:40,830 --> 01:42:46,110
Tuesday, the King fell ill
after six helpings of marone glacee.
1881
01:42:47,910 --> 01:42:50,130
Marone glacee will no
longer be served at court.
1882
01:42:51,710 --> 01:42:55,700
Wednesday, the Compte de Firske
spoke to Madame de Monte Glas.
1883
01:42:56,500 --> 01:42:59,380
She said....no.
1884
01:43:01,480 --> 01:43:07,450
Thursday.... Nothing.
1885
01:43:07,490 --> 01:43:10,580
Friday, Madame de Monte Glas
said yes.
1886
01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:18,800
Saturday, 25th....
1887
01:43:19,450 --> 01:43:20,520
Cyrano!
1888
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:24,010
What is it?
Cyrano!
1889
01:43:28,660 --> 01:43:31,300
- Oh, no, no, it is nothing.
- What?
1890
01:43:31,750 --> 01:43:34,200
The old wound at Arras
sometimes...
1891
01:43:34,230 --> 01:43:36,980
- My poor friend.
- No, no, no, it is nothing.
1892
01:43:37,830 --> 01:43:39,350
It will soon be gone.
1893
01:43:41,010 --> 01:43:44,990
(gasp) There. 'Tis gone.
1894
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:48,480
We all have
our old wounds.
1895
01:43:49,020 --> 01:43:53,920
I have mine here,
under this faded scrap of writing.
1896
01:43:55,380 --> 01:43:57,340
It's hard to read now.
1897
01:43:58,370 --> 01:44:01,340
All for the blots
and tears.
1898
01:44:01,370 --> 01:44:02,560
His letter?
1899
01:44:03,480 --> 01:44:06,650
Did you not promise me,
that someday you would let me read it?
1900
01:44:07,090 --> 01:44:12,350
- This letter? You wish...?
- I do wish it....today.
1901
01:44:22,650 --> 01:44:24,230
Open it and read.
1902
01:44:49,700 --> 01:44:54,660
"Farewell, Roxane,
because today I die."
1903
01:44:54,690 --> 01:44:56,000
Aloud?
1904
01:44:57,180 --> 01:45:00,150
"I know that it will be today,
my own dearly beloved.
1905
01:45:01,630 --> 01:45:04,900
"Yet, my heart still so heavy
with love I have not told.
1906
01:45:06,440 --> 01:45:11,330
"And I shall die without telling you.
1907
01:45:11,900 --> 01:45:15,740
"No more shall my eyes
drink the sight of you like wine,
1908
01:45:16,230 --> 01:45:19,180
"never more with a look
that is a kiss,
1909
01:45:19,740 --> 01:45:22,430
"follow the sweet
grace of you."
1910
01:45:22,470 --> 01:45:24,400
How you read it.
His letter.
1911
01:45:24,440 --> 01:45:26,300
"I remember now the way you have
1912
01:45:26,340 --> 01:45:30,280
"of pushing back a lock of hair
with one hand from your forehead,
1913
01:45:30,860 --> 01:45:33,270
- "and my heart cries out..."
- His letter!
1914
01:45:33,310 --> 01:45:35,000
- "cries out and keeps crying."
1915
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:38,240
- You read it so...
- "Farewell, my dear, my dearest,"
1916
01:45:38,270 --> 01:45:40,650
- In a voice...
- "my own heart's own,"
1917
01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:44,230
- "my own treasure,"
- In such a voice!
- "my...love."
1918
01:45:44,260 --> 01:45:47,140
Yes, I remember hearing long ago.
1919
01:45:47,490 --> 01:45:52,210
"I am never away from you.
Even now I shall not leave you.
1920
01:45:53,110 --> 01:45:56,360
"In another world, I shall
still be that one who loves you,
1921
01:45:56,390 --> 01:46:00,110
"loves you beyond measure,
beyond..."
1922
01:46:09,180 --> 01:46:11,130
But, how can you read it now?
1923
01:46:14,420 --> 01:46:17,810
And all those 14 years
he has been the old friend
1924
01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:19,650
who came to me to be amusing.
1925
01:46:20,930 --> 01:46:23,170
- Roxane.
- It was you.
1926
01:46:23,910 --> 01:46:24,880
No, no, Roxane, no.
1927
01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:28,100
And I might have know it every time
that I heard you speak my name.
1928
01:46:28,130 --> 01:46:31,690
- No, it was not I.
- It was you!
- I swear.
1929
01:46:32,460 --> 01:46:34,810
- The letters. That was you.
- No.
1930
01:46:35,140 --> 01:46:38,960
- And the dear foolish words.
That was you.
- No.
1931
01:46:39,190 --> 01:46:43,290
- And the voice in the dark.
That was you.
- On my honor!
1932
01:46:43,330 --> 01:46:47,170
And the soul.
It was all you.
1933
01:46:47,270 --> 01:46:49,180
I never loved you.
1934
01:46:49,350 --> 01:46:50,850
Yes, you loved me.
1935
01:46:50,970 --> 01:46:52,740
Even now you love me.
1936
01:46:53,660 --> 01:46:55,610
(gasp)
No!
1937
01:46:55,650 --> 01:46:57,920
And twice you're great to know.
1938
01:46:57,950 --> 01:47:00,760
Oh, no, no, my own dear love,
I love you not.
1939
01:47:03,340 --> 01:47:05,840
Why were you silent
for so many years?
1940
01:47:06,580 --> 01:47:07,860
All the while.
1941
01:47:08,090 --> 01:47:11,110
Every night, and every day,
he gave me nothing.
1942
01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:13,120
You knew that.
1943
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:16,680
You knew in that letter
lying on my breast.
1944
01:47:17,940 --> 01:47:19,230
Your tears.
1945
01:47:20,580 --> 01:47:22,770
You knew they
were your tears.
1946
01:47:26,390 --> 01:47:28,270
The blood was his.
1947
01:47:29,370 --> 01:47:30,200
Cyrano!
1948
01:47:32,690 --> 01:47:34,320
Here! He's here.
1949
01:47:34,490 --> 01:47:36,270
Oh, what recklessness.
1950
01:47:36,310 --> 01:47:36,570
No.
1951
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:37,430
I knew it!
1952
01:47:37,490 --> 01:47:40,440
- Oh Madame he has killed
himself coming here.
- No. Shh.
1953
01:47:40,700 --> 01:47:42,220
That drink is, what is it?
1954
01:47:42,290 --> 01:47:45,510
Nothing. I did not
finish my Gazette.
1955
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:49,970
Saturday, 26th, an hour
or so before dinner
1956
01:47:50,540 --> 01:47:55,340
Ms. de Bergerac died,
foully murdered.
1957
01:47:55,690 --> 01:47:57,470
Cyrano, what have
they done to you?
1958
01:47:57,600 --> 01:47:59,540
How fate loves a jest.
1959
01:47:59,980 --> 01:48:03,000
Behold me ambushed,
taken unawares.
1960
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:08,830
My noble foe, a lackey.
My battlefield, a gutter.
1961
01:48:09,490 --> 01:48:10,950
It seems too logical.
1962
01:48:11,370 --> 01:48:13,040
They have missed everything,
1963
01:48:13,820 --> 01:48:15,290
even my death.
1964
01:48:16,330 --> 01:48:17,950
Sisters! Sisters!
1965
01:48:17,990 --> 01:48:21,350
No, do not go away.
I may not be here when you return.
1966
01:48:22,030 --> 01:48:23,760
You shall not die.
1967
01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:25,460
(sobbing)
I love you.
1968
01:48:25,490 --> 01:48:27,410
No, my lady,
it's not in the story.
1969
01:48:28,100 --> 01:48:29,900
When beauty said
I love you to the beast
1970
01:48:29,930 --> 01:48:32,990
all his ugliness changed
and dissolved, like magic.
1971
01:48:33,550 --> 01:48:37,370
But, you see,
I am still the same.
1972
01:48:37,440 --> 01:48:39,430
And I have
done this to you.
1973
01:48:39,470 --> 01:48:40,620
You? Why no.
1974
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:42,060
All my fault, mine!
1975
01:48:42,100 --> 01:48:43,320
On the contrary.
1976
01:48:44,060 --> 01:48:47,080
I have never know womanhood
in its sweetness, but for you.
1977
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:50,750
My mother did not
like to look at me.
1978
01:48:52,050 --> 01:48:53,530
I never had a sister.
1979
01:48:54,880 --> 01:49:01,130
Later, I feared those sweethearts
with mockery behind her smile.
1980
01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:06,150
But, because of you,
I have had across my life
1981
01:49:06,930 --> 01:49:10,600
one whispering, silken gown.
1982
01:49:12,780 --> 01:49:15,200
I never loved but
one man in my life.
1983
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:18,680
I have lost him, twice.
1984
01:49:19,660 --> 01:49:23,540
(sobbing)
1985
01:49:23,570 --> 01:49:27,890
I would not have you mourning
any less that good, noble Christian.
1986
01:49:28,980 --> 01:49:32,570
But, perhaps, I ask only this,
1987
01:49:34,100 --> 01:49:36,370
when the great cold
gathers around my bones,
1988
01:49:37,770 --> 01:49:42,590
you may give a double
meaning to your widow's weeds.
1989
01:49:43,910 --> 01:49:50,900
The tears you let fall for him,
may for a little, be my tears.
1990
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:53,040
Oh, my love!
1991
01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:58,400
No, not here.
Not lying down.
1992
01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:01,300
Let no one help me.
No one need help me.
1993
01:50:06,310 --> 01:50:07,430
It is coming.
1994
01:50:08,260 --> 01:50:11,460
I feel already shod with marble.
1995
01:50:12,720 --> 01:50:13,950
Gloved with lead.
1996
01:50:14,730 --> 01:50:16,700
Very well,
let the old fellow come now.
1997
01:50:17,190 --> 01:50:19,600
He shall find me
on my feet.
1998
01:50:21,670 --> 01:50:23,120
Sword in hand.
1999
01:50:23,160 --> 01:50:24,110
Cyrano!
2000
01:50:24,500 --> 01:50:25,890
He'd delirious.
2001
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:28,000
I see him now.
2002
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:28,700
He grins.
2003
01:50:28,740 --> 01:50:30,750
He is looking at my nose!
2004
01:50:30,790 --> 01:50:31,820
That skeleton.
2005
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:33,730
You there.
2006
01:50:33,970 --> 01:50:34,670
Who are you?
2007
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:36,950
A hundred against one, eh?
2008
01:50:37,300 --> 01:50:40,020
I know them now,
my ancient enemies.
2009
01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:40,960
Falsehood, there!
2010
01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:42,470
There, Prejudice!
2011
01:50:42,490 --> 01:50:44,100
Compromise, Cowardice.
2012
01:50:44,580 --> 01:50:47,160
What's that?
Surrender? No, never!
2013
01:50:47,190 --> 01:50:48,430
Never!
2014
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:50,820
Ah, you too, Vanity.
2015
01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:54,180
I knew you would
overthrow me in the end.
2016
01:50:54,210 --> 01:50:57,310
No, I fight, I fight on,
I fight....ow!
2017
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:01,000
(gasping)
2018
01:51:06,540 --> 01:51:08,550
All my laurels
you have riven away.
2019
01:51:10,290 --> 01:51:11,770
And my roses.
2020
01:51:12,940 --> 01:51:15,600
Yet, in spite of you,
there is one crown
2021
01:51:15,630 --> 01:51:16,980
I made away with me.
2022
01:51:17,020 --> 01:51:20,380
And tonight when I
enter before God,
2023
01:51:21,850 --> 01:51:27,140
my salute shall sweep away

In seventeenth-century Paris, poet and supreme swordsman Cyrano de Bergerac (José Ferrer) stops a play from being shown because he ostensibly cannot stand the bombastic style of the principal actor, Montfleury (Arthur Blake). An annoyed aristocratic fop, the Vicomte de Valvert (Albert Cavens), provokes him into a duel by tritely insulting Cyrano's enormous nose. Cyrano first mocks his lack of wit, improvising numerous inventive ways in which Valvert could have phrased it (much to the amusement of the audience). He then composes a ballade for the occasion on the spot and recites it during the sword fight. With the last line, he stabs his opponent.
Cyrano's friend Le Bret (Morris Carnovsky), Captain of the Gascony Guards, warns him he has made powerful enemies of his victim's friends, but he is unconcerned. When Le Bret presses him to reveal the real reason he hates Montfleury, Cyrano admits that he became jealous when he saw the actor smiling at his beautiful cousin Roxane (Mala Powers). He confesses that he is in love with her, but harbors no hope of it being returned because of his nose. When he receives a request from Roxane to see her in the morning, he is finally emboldened to act.
Then pastry chef and fellow poet Ragueneau (Lloyd Corrigan) approaches him for help. Ragueneau has learned that a nobleman he had mocked with his verses, the Comte De Guiche (Ralph Clanton), has hired a hundred ruffians to teach him a lesson. Cyrano escorts him, kills eight of the horde, and drives off the rest.
The next day, before he can tell Roxane of his feelings, she informs him that she has fallen in love with a handsome guardsman, Christian de Neuvillette (William Prince), though she has not even spoken to him. Cyrano hides his devastation and agrees to help her.
Cyrano befriends the young man, who is in Cyrano's guards' unit, and discovers that he is infatuated with Roxane, but is too inept with words to woo her. To help him, Cyrano composes Christian's love letters to Roxane, which she finds irresistible. Later, Christian decides he wants no more help and tries to speak to Roxane face to face, but fails miserably and she re-enters her house in an angry huff. Cyrano, hiding in the bushes, comes to his rescue, but this time by imitating Christian's voice and speaking to Roxane from under her balcony. He is so eloquent that he (unintentionally) wins a kiss for Christian from Roxane.
When the arrogant Comte De Guiche, who is also wooing Roxane, pressures her to marry him, Cyrano delays him long enough for her to wed Christian instead. Furious, De Guiche, Christian's commander, orders him to join his unit immediately for a war against the Spanish, preventing the couple from spending their wedding night together.
With Cyrano under his command as well, De Guiche earns the swordsman's respect by his conduct in the war. From the field, Cyrano sends Roxane letters every day, supposedly written by Christian. Roxane visits her husband in camp and tells him that she now has fallen in love with him not merely for his looks but because of his words, and would love him even if he were ugly. Realizing that she really loves Cyrano, Christian gets his rival to agree to tell Roxane the truth and let her decide between them. But before the opportunity arises, Christian volunteers for a dangerous mission and is fatally wounded, silencing Cyrano.
Roxane enters a convent in mourning. Years pass, with Cyrano visiting Roxane weekly, having retired from the military and writing satirical articles mocking the nobility. De Guiche, who has also befriended her and has come to respect Cyrano, has overheard a courtier plotting against Cyrano. De Guiche warns Roxane that Cyrano's life may be in danger. One night, Cyrano is lured into an ambush; the poet is run down by a carriage. Near death, he hides his injuries and goes to keep his appointment with Roxane for the last time. His secret love for Roxane is finally revealed when he recites from memory the last of his love letters, which she has kept, but it is too late. Cyrano first slips into delirium, then dies, leaving Roxane to mourn a second time.

<i>where balmy zephyrs

6
00:02:37,660 --> 00:02:41,460
- Clown! The king of clowns!
Leave the stage at once!
7
00:02:43,970 --> 00:02:44,620
- Who is it?
8
00:02:44,650 --> 00:02:47,570
It's Cyrano.
I was afraid he'd do this.
9
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,250
<i>Thrice happy he
who hides from pomp and power...</i>
10
00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:54,910
- Wretch! Did I not forbid
you to appear this month?
11
00:02:57,940 --> 00:02:59,260
- Let's be quiet.
- Quiet!
12
00:03:00,190 --> 00:03:01,380
- Go on Montfleury.
13
00:03:04,270 --> 00:03:06,400
<i>Thrice happy he who...</i>
14
00:03:06,430 --> 00:03:07,630
- He who, indeed.
15
00:03:07,660 --> 00:03:10,730
- Donkeys say rather Hee-Haw!
16
00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:17,790
Begone! Or must I come and
help you off the stage myself?
17
00:03:21,130 --> 00:03:24,000
What! Still there?
18
00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:28,220
<i>Where balmy zephyrs
fan his burning cheeks... </i>
19
00:03:28,250 --> 00:03:32,050
Fat swine, if you dare breathe
on balmy zephyr more
20
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,640
I'll fan your cheeks
for you!
21
00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:36,480
Monsieur, won't you all
protect me?
22
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,090
- Proceed, proceed.
- Go on.
23
00:03:38,130 --> 00:03:40,880
Sir, I will not allow you
to insult me in this manner.
24
00:03:40,910 --> 00:03:43,520
Really?
What manner would you prefer?
25
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:44,850
Quiet, down there!
26
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,940
- We'll tolerate
no more of this.
27
00:03:47,870 --> 00:03:49,720
Go on with the play,
Montfleury.
28
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:52,380
(shouting criticisms)
29
00:03:52,410 --> 00:03:54,480
Unless these gentlemen
retain your seats
30
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,790
my sword may
bite their ribbons.
31
00:03:56,830 --> 00:03:58,650
Who is this braggart?
32
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,070
My cousin, sir.
33
00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:04,710
Well, Montfleury,
still no exit?
34
00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:06,930
- Very well then,
I enter
35
00:04:06,970 --> 00:04:11,740
with knife, to carve
this fat, stuffed goose.
36
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:14,800
(ominous music begins)
37
00:04:14,830 --> 00:04:18,080
(crowd clamors)
38
00:04:20,030 --> 00:04:22,170
I pray, do not crowd
my scabbard here.
39
00:04:22,210 --> 00:04:24,320
She may put her
tongue out at you.
40
00:04:24,350 --> 00:04:27,140
(shouted recriminations)
41
00:04:29,870 --> 00:04:30,990
Silence.
42
00:04:31,910 --> 00:04:33,830
I say be silent!
43
00:04:35,450 --> 00:04:38,260
And I offer one universal
challenge to you all:
44
00:04:38,460 --> 00:04:41,410
Will all who wish to die,
please raise their hands.
45
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,360
Approach, young heroes.
I will take your names.
46
00:04:45,140 --> 00:04:47,830
To the first man who falls
I'll build a monument.
47
00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:49,710
Who will head the list?
48
00:04:50,010 --> 00:04:50,780
You, sir?
49
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,000
No.
50
00:04:52,830 --> 00:04:53,610
You?
51
00:04:54,470 --> 00:04:55,170
No, no.
52
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,770
Anyone?
53
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,600
Anyone at all?
54
00:05:01,110 --> 00:05:03,550
Not one...name?
55
00:05:04,260 --> 00:05:06,420
Not one finger?
56
00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:10,260
Very well then,
I go on.
57
00:05:16,130 --> 00:05:18,810
Attend to me, Full Moon.
58
00:05:21,340 --> 00:05:24,190
I clap my hands three times, thus.
59
00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:26,740
(three claps)
60
00:05:26,770 --> 00:05:30,320
At the third, you will...
eclipse yourself.
61
00:05:30,490 --> 00:05:31,390
Ready!
62
00:05:32,110 --> 00:05:32,910
One.
63
00:05:34,010 --> 00:05:34,900
(clap)
64
00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:36,070
How dare you.
65
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:37,210
I demand!
66
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,070
I insist.
67
00:05:38,110 --> 00:05:40,150
- I call upon all the nobles...
- Two!
68
00:05:41,010 --> 00:05:42,080
(clap)
69
00:05:42,110 --> 00:05:43,090
This is an outrage.
70
00:05:43,130 --> 00:05:44,040
You hear, an outrage.
71
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:46,620
Nothing on earth
will move me from this stage.
72
00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:48,800
Three!
73
00:05:49,570 --> 00:05:49,910
(clap)
74
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:55,410
(laughter)
75
00:05:56,260 --> 00:05:59,210
Fair ladies and noble gentlemen...
- Boo!
76
00:05:59,250 --> 00:06:02,560
(laughter)
77
00:06:02,950 --> 00:06:04,210
But, Monsieur de Bergerac,
78
00:06:04,250 --> 00:06:07,490
why have you done this
to our Montfleury, an admirable actor?
79
00:06:07,530 --> 00:06:10,090
I have two reasons,
either one conclusive.
80
00:06:10,670 --> 00:06:12,800
First, he is an
abominable actor,
81
00:06:12,830 --> 00:06:15,870
who mouths his verse
and moans his tragedy.
82
00:06:16,350 --> 00:06:17,630
Second,....
83
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:20,970
Well, that's my secret.
84
00:06:22,530 --> 00:06:25,280
But...
But you've closed the play!
85
00:06:25,310 --> 00:06:26,880
It is not a very good play.
86
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:28,970
Huh!
And of their money?
87
00:06:29,010 --> 00:06:31,080
Possibly you would like
that returned to these good people.
88
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:31,960
Yes?
89
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,360
Yes.
90
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:35,830
Here,...catch!
91
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:37,920
(crowd murmurs)
92
00:06:38,410 --> 00:06:41,960
Well, Monsieur, you are hereby
authorized to close our play every night.
93
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,200
On these terms.
94
00:06:43,230 --> 00:06:43,740
(laughter)
95
00:06:43,780 --> 00:06:46,400
Ladies and gentlemen,
your money will be returned.
96
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,250
Kindly pass out, quietly.
97
00:06:48,290 --> 00:06:50,030
Goodnight, goodnight.
98
00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:53,220
(crowd accepts
in good spirits)
99
00:06:55,740 --> 00:06:57,120
(until...)
100
00:06:59,530 --> 00:07:02,610
Your cousin is an
extraordinary man, Madame.
101
00:07:02,650 --> 00:07:04,080
Oh, I agree.
102
00:07:04,410 --> 00:07:08,550
Soldier, poet, philosopher,
musician, playwright.
103
00:07:08,580 --> 00:07:09,570
All those?
104
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,360
Yes, and the best
swordsman in Paris.
105
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,310
Really?
106
00:07:14,340 --> 00:07:17,060
Now, I should have thought
the Vicomte here had that honor.
107
00:07:17,310 --> 00:07:21,360
Tell me, Madame, that
comic mask, that nose,
108
00:07:21,390 --> 00:07:23,300
presently he will take it off?
109
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:25,950
No, Monsieur, he keeps it.
110
00:07:26,450 --> 00:07:29,350
And heaven help
the man who smiles.
111
00:07:29,850 --> 00:07:31,060
Good night.
112
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,880
Oh, Monsieur!
113
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,980
Monsieur!
114
00:07:40,020 --> 00:07:42,710
Uh, when do you leave Paris?
115
00:07:43,210 --> 00:07:44,100
Sir?
116
00:07:44,250 --> 00:07:46,280
Why, after what you've
just done to Montfleury,
117
00:07:46,310 --> 00:07:48,750
did you not know that
the Compte de Guiche was his patron?
118
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:50,190
Who's yours?
119
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:52,140
No one.
120
00:07:52,170 --> 00:07:52,940
No one?
121
00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:53,870
No patron?
122
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:54,630
I said not.
123
00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:56,900
But the Compte de Guiche
has a long arm.
124
00:07:56,930 --> 00:07:58,900
Mine is longer
by three feet of steel.
125
00:07:59,530 --> 00:08:00,180
Yes, but..
126
00:08:00,860 --> 00:08:02,160
but, what a scare...
127
00:08:02,190 --> 00:08:02,990
You may go now.
128
00:08:03,020 --> 00:08:04,510
- but...
- You may go.
129
00:08:05,810 --> 00:08:08,620
Well, tell me,
why are you staring at my nose?
130
00:08:08,650 --> 00:08:10,160
Oh, I was not staring.
131
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:11,630
Does it astonish you?
132
00:08:11,660 --> 00:08:13,920
Why n...Why no, I've been careful
not to look.
133
00:08:13,950 --> 00:08:15,510
Oh, and why not, if you please?
134
00:08:15,550 --> 00:08:16,730
It disgusts you, then?
135
00:08:16,770 --> 00:08:17,880
But, no, I just...
136
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,700
Does its color appear
to you unwholesome?
137
00:08:19,730 --> 00:08:20,480
By no means.
138
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,310
Then, possibly you find it
just a trifle large?
139
00:08:22,340 --> 00:08:24,500
No, small, very small, tiny!
140
00:08:24,530 --> 00:08:25,640
Infinitesimal!
141
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,960
What?
You accuse me of absurdity?
142
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,730
Small, my nose?
Why magnificent, my nose!
143
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,900
You pug, you knob,
you button head,
144
00:08:34,930 --> 00:08:37,170
know that I glory
in this nose of mine!
145
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,400
For a great nose
indicates a great man,
146
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:45,440
congenial, courteous,
intellectual, virile, courageous.
147
00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:48,050
Whilst that face of yours,
148
00:08:48,370 --> 00:08:54,070
that blank, inglorious concavity
which my right hand finds on top of you,
149
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:59,630
is as devoid of pride, of poetry,
of soul, of picturesqueness,
150
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:04,810
of contour, of character,
of nose, in short,
151
00:09:04,850 --> 00:09:09,740
as that which is at the bottom of
that limp spine of yours my left foot...
- Oh, help!
152
00:09:09,780 --> 00:09:11,550
(laughter)
153
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:13,840
Presently, this fellow
will grow tiresome.
154
00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:16,590
Oh, he blows his horn.
155
00:09:17,330 --> 00:09:19,800
- Well, will no one
put him in his place?
156
00:09:20,270 --> 00:09:22,660
If you would all me.
Observe.
157
00:09:25,090 --> 00:09:31,260
Monsieur, your nose,
your nose is rather large.
158
00:09:34,450 --> 00:09:35,400
Rather?
159
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,350
Oh, well.
160
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:37,620
Is that all?
161
00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:38,540
Well, of course, you...
162
00:09:38,570 --> 00:09:40,400
Ah, no young sir, you're too simple.
163
00:09:40,430 --> 00:09:42,620
Why, you might have
said a great many things.
164
00:09:42,650 --> 00:09:44,800
Why waste your opportunity?
165
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:45,860
For example, thus...
166
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:47,450
Aggressive---
167
00:09:47,490 --> 00:09:51,040
I, sir, if that great nose were mine,
I would have it amputated on the spot.
168
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:52,710
Practical---
169
00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:56,570
How do you drink with such a nose.
You must have had a cup made especially.
170
00:09:56,850 --> 00:09:57,880
Descriptive---
171
00:09:57,910 --> 00:10:00,570
'Tis a rock, a crag, a cape.
172
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,510
A cape, say rather, a peninsula.
173
00:10:05,890 --> 00:10:06,990
Inquisitive---
174
00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:11,400
Uh, what is that receptacle,
a razor case or a portfolio?
175
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,680
Kindly---
176
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,840
Ah, do you love the little birds so much
that when they come and sing to you,
177
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,690
you give them this to perch on?
178
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,570
Cautious---
179
00:10:20,610 --> 00:10:24,120
Take care. A weight like that
might make you top-heavy.
180
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,250
Eloquent---
181
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,510
When it blows the typhoon howls
and the clouds darken.
182
00:10:29,580 --> 00:10:30,400
Dramatic---
183
00:10:30,430 --> 00:10:34,690
When it bleeds...the Red Sea.
184
00:10:35,540 --> 00:10:36,530
Simple---
185
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:39,640
Eh, when do they
unveil the monument?
186
00:10:40,020 --> 00:10:40,900
Military---
187
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:43,510
Beware, a secret weapon!
188
00:10:44,290 --> 00:10:45,620
Enterprising---
189
00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:48,080
What a sigh for some perfumer!
190
00:10:48,490 --> 00:10:49,300
Respectful---
191
00:10:49,330 --> 00:10:52,050
Uh sir, I recognize in you
a man of parts,
192
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,740
a man of...prominence.
193
00:10:54,770 --> 00:10:56,500
Or, Literary---
194
00:10:56,530 --> 00:10:59,360
Was this the nose
that launched a thousand ships?
195
00:11:00,010 --> 00:11:02,850
These, my dear sir, are things
you might have said had you
196
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,690
some tinge of letters or of wit
to color your discourse.
197
00:11:05,810 --> 00:11:07,970
Bit wit not so.
You never had an atom.
198
00:11:08,270 --> 00:11:14,480
And of letters, you need
but three to write you down, a..s..s.
199
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:16,530
Ass.
200
00:11:16,570 --> 00:11:18,040
- (laughter)
- You, sir!
201
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,600
Dolt! Bumpkin! Fool!
202
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:26,620
How do you do, and I,
Cyrano Savinien Hercule de Bergerac.
203
00:11:26,650 --> 00:11:28,050
Vicomte, come.
204
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,650
Such arrogance.
This scarecrow who...
205
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:31,850
Look at him!
206
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,120
No ribbons. No lace.
Not even gloves!
207
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,700
True. I carry my adornments
only on my soul.
208
00:11:39,740 --> 00:11:41,860
Decked with deeds
instead of ribbons.
209
00:11:41,890 --> 00:11:43,420
Mantled in my good name,
210
00:11:43,460 --> 00:11:45,350
and crowned with a
white plume of freedom.
211
00:11:45,380 --> 00:11:46,130
But..
212
00:11:46,170 --> 00:11:47,510
But, I have no gloves.
213
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:48,630
A pity, too.
214
00:11:48,670 --> 00:11:51,630
I had one, the last one of an old pair,
and lost that.
215
00:11:51,660 --> 00:11:53,250
Very careless of me.
216
00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:55,750
Some gentleman offered me
an impertinence.
217
00:11:55,790 --> 00:11:59,840
I left it in his face.
218
00:11:59,870 --> 00:12:00,840
So be it!
219
00:12:02,110 --> 00:12:05,050
You shall die exquisitely
220
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,160
Oh, a poet.
221
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,640
Oh, yes, a poet if you will.
222
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:11,510
So, uh, while we fight,
I'll improvise a ballad for you,
223
00:12:11,540 --> 00:12:15,270
and as I end the refrain,
...skhrch!...thrust home.
224
00:12:15,310 --> 00:12:16,280
Will you?
225
00:12:17,180 --> 00:12:18,130
I will.
226
00:12:21,820 --> 00:12:23,420
(excited crowd)
227
00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:26,890
Ballad au Duel
at the Theatre de Burgoyne
228
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,320
between de Bergerac,
and uh.....a barbarian.
229
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,240
What do you mean by that?
230
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,000
Oh, that?
231
00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:34,960
The title.
232
00:12:34,990 --> 00:12:36,570
(laughter)
233
00:12:36,610 --> 00:12:38,200
Stop. Let me choose my rhyme.
234
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:47,640
So. Here we go.
235
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:50,070
Lightly I toss my hat away.
236
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:55,440
Languidly o'er my arm let fall
the cloak that covers my bright array.
237
00:12:55,510 --> 00:13:00,770
Then, out swords,
and to work withal.
238
00:13:02,660 --> 00:13:05,720
A Lancelot in his lady's hall,
239
00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:10,580
A Spartacus at the Hippodrome,
240
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,340
I dally a while with you..
241
00:13:13,380 --> 00:13:14,750
you jackall.
242
00:13:32,810 --> 00:13:34,360
Just as I end the refrain,
243
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,380
thrust home!
244
00:13:51,290 --> 00:13:54,220
Where shall I skewer my peacock again?
245
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,160
Nay, better for you
to have shunned this brawl.
246
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,010
Here in the heart
or your ribbons, gay,
247
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,610
in the belly
'neath you silken shawl?
248
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,130
Now, come my points floats,
light as the foam
249
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,640
ready to drive you
back to the wall,
250
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:20,030
and then as I end the refrain,
251
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,440
thrust home.
252
00:14:21,930 --> 00:14:23,210
Oh, for a rhyme.
253
00:14:23,580 --> 00:14:25,060
Why, your fight is fading.
254
00:14:25,420 --> 00:14:26,040
You break.
255
00:14:26,350 --> 00:14:26,970
You cower.
256
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:27,600
You cringe.
257
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:28,200
You crawl.
258
00:14:29,310 --> 00:14:30,740
How can I tell
you're allowed to say
259
00:14:30,780 --> 00:14:31,750
something to turn on my head
260
00:14:31,790 --> 00:14:32,720
forestall.....
261
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:33,660
Life with a tunny
262
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:34,970
death with a scall.
263
00:14:35,010 --> 00:14:36,760
Something to turn on my fancy roam,
264
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,670
free for a time till the rhyme's recall,
265
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,620
then as I end the refrain,
266
00:14:40,650 --> 00:14:41,620
thrust home!
267
00:14:43,810 --> 00:14:44,670
Refrain.
268
00:14:45,550 --> 00:14:48,960
Prince,
pray God that is Lord of all,
269
00:14:48,990 --> 00:14:50,840
pardon you soul,
270
00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:54,190
for your time has come.
271
00:14:56,860 --> 00:14:58,820
Pass! I fling you aslant, asprawl.
272
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:00,590
Then as I end the refrain,
273
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,680
thrust home!
274
00:15:41,820 --> 00:15:45,390
(shouts of hurray
and congratulation)
275
00:15:47,130 --> 00:15:49,470
Ladies and gentlemen,
please, please,
276
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:50,790
not until the performance is over.
277
00:15:51,070 --> 00:15:51,980
Close the house.
278
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:52,820
A strike,
279
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,340
but leave the lights.
280
00:15:54,380 --> 00:15:56,070
We rehearse the new
farce tonight.
281
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,240
Wait.
282
00:16:04,110 --> 00:16:05,570
You have only to watch a fight,
283
00:16:05,610 --> 00:16:07,530
or have you ruined
if you listen to them.
284
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:11,570
Think of the enemies you've made,
285
00:16:11,610 --> 00:16:14,050
Montfleury, the Vicomte,
if he lives,
286
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,380
all those foppish marquis,
the Comte de Guiche.
287
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:18,970
That politician.
288
00:16:19,010 --> 00:16:21,910
He's the Cardinal's nephew.
There's power there!
289
00:16:21,950 --> 00:16:23,330
And power here.
290
00:16:23,370 --> 00:16:24,680
Young fool!
291
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,540
Take an example from me.
292
00:16:26,570 --> 00:16:29,810
20 years a captain,
while others who know only
293
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,750
how to deploy their
forces at court
294
00:16:31,780 --> 00:16:33,890
now dangle a marshal's baton.
295
00:16:33,930 --> 00:16:37,360
Well, uh, someday
I will avenge you, too.
296
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,530
Impossible.
Come on, let's go to dinner.
297
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,830
Dinner?
No, not I.
298
00:16:41,860 --> 00:16:42,540
Why not?
299
00:16:42,580 --> 00:16:44,530
Because I have no money.
300
00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:46,150
But, the purse of gold.
301
00:16:46,180 --> 00:16:48,140
Farewell paternal pension.
302
00:16:48,180 --> 00:16:51,430
And you have
until the first of next month?
303
00:16:51,470 --> 00:16:52,310
Nothing.
304
00:16:53,140 --> 00:16:54,460
What a fool.
305
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:56,770
Yes, but, what a moment.
306
00:16:56,810 --> 00:16:57,670
- Pardon, Monsieur.
307
00:17:00,010 --> 00:17:01,770
A man ought
never to go hungry.
308
00:17:02,690 --> 00:17:04,150
I have everything here.
309
00:17:05,490 --> 00:17:06,360
Please.
310
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,080
My dear child, I cannot bend this Gascon
pride of mine to accept such a kindness.
311
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:11,820
But, I...
312
00:17:12,910 --> 00:17:15,810
Yet, for fear that
I may give you pain if I refuse,
313
00:17:16,550 --> 00:17:18,190
I will take something.
314
00:17:19,630 --> 00:17:20,660
A grape.
315
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:25,160
One only.
316
00:17:25,820 --> 00:17:27,170
And a glass of water.
317
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,650
No, clear.
318
00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:35,750
And, uh,...half a macaroon.
319
00:17:37,010 --> 00:17:38,100
Nothing more?
320
00:17:39,060 --> 00:17:39,920
Why, yes.
321
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,230
Your hand to kiss.
322
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,510
Thank you, sir.
323
00:18:02,090 --> 00:18:03,100
Good night.
324
00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:10,290
Idiot.
325
00:18:13,170 --> 00:18:13,890
Dinner.
326
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,160
Drink.
327
00:18:18,830 --> 00:18:19,720
Desert.
328
00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:24,670
Mon Dieux, I was hungry,
abominably.
329
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:26,320
Tell me.
330
00:18:26,590 --> 00:18:27,440
Anything.
331
00:18:27,790 --> 00:18:29,920
Why to you hate
this Montfleury?
332
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:32,860
A very bad actor.
333
00:18:32,890 --> 00:18:34,860
Ah, come now, the real
reason, the truth.
334
00:18:36,610 --> 00:18:39,600
That fat goat who cannot hold
his belly in his arms,
335
00:18:39,630 --> 00:18:42,590
still dreams of being
sweetly dangerous among the women.
336
00:18:43,230 --> 00:18:47,610
Sighs and languishes, making sheep's
eyes out of his great frog's face.
337
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:52,750
I hate him ever since one day
he dared smile upon....
338
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,220
Oh, my friend, I seemed to see over
some flower a great snail crawling.
339
00:19:00,090 --> 00:19:01,180
Eh, what?
340
00:19:02,170 --> 00:19:03,340
Is it possible?
341
00:19:04,890 --> 00:19:06,180
For me to love?
342
00:19:08,770 --> 00:19:09,660
I love.
343
00:19:10,370 --> 00:19:12,570
Whom?
May I know?
344
00:19:12,610 --> 00:19:13,620
Whom I love?
345
00:19:15,070 --> 00:19:16,000
Think a moment.
346
00:19:16,210 --> 00:19:17,280
Think of me.
347
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,670
Me, whom the plainest
woman would despise.
348
00:19:21,030 --> 00:19:25,010
Me, with this nose of mine that
marches on before me by a quarter of an hour.
349
00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:28,000
Whom shall I love.
350
00:19:29,890 --> 00:19:34,930
Why, of course, it must be the
woman in the world most beautiful.
351
00:19:35,780 --> 00:19:37,170
Most beautiful?
352
00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:42,920
In these eyes of mine....
beyond compare.
353
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:44,070
Wait.
354
00:19:44,510 --> 00:19:46,440
Your cousin, Roxane.
355
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,300
Yes.
356
00:19:50,170 --> 00:19:51,080
Roxane.
357
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,810
Well?
358
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,020
Why not?
If you love her, tell her so.
359
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,170
My old friend.
360
00:20:01,150 --> 00:20:03,550
Look at me and tell me how
much hope remains for me
361
00:20:03,580 --> 00:20:04,970
with this protuberance.
362
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,360
Ahhh, I have no more illusions.
363
00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:12,140
Now and then I may grow tender
walking alone in the blue of evening
364
00:20:12,170 --> 00:20:16,130
through some garden fresh with flowers
after the benediction of the rain.
365
00:20:16,980 --> 00:20:20,930
My poor big devil of a nose
inhales April.
366
00:20:21,460 --> 00:20:26,950
And I follow with my eyes where
some boy with a girl upon his arm,
367
00:20:27,510 --> 00:20:32,130
passes a patch of silver...
and I feel somehow....
368
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,490
I wish I had a woman, too,
369
00:20:36,670 --> 00:20:41,660
walking with me under the moon,
and holding my arm and smiling.
370
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:44,240
Then I dream.
371
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:46,140
I forget.
372
00:20:49,510 --> 00:20:53,210
And then I see the shadow
of my profile on the wall.
373
00:20:54,750 --> 00:20:56,050
My friend.
374
00:20:57,180 --> 00:20:58,230
My friend.
375
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,370
I have my bitter days,
knowing myself so ugly, so alone.
376
00:21:03,410 --> 00:21:05,260
Ah, but your wit, your courage,
377
00:21:05,540 --> 00:21:08,170
why that poor child who just
now offered you your dinner,
378
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,710
your saw it, her eyes
did not avoid you.
379
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,920
That is true.
380
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,930
Well, then, Roxane herself,
watching your duel, pale.
381
00:21:18,970 --> 00:21:19,480
Pale?
382
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,670
Yes, her lips parted.
Her hand at her breast, thus.
383
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,020
I saw it.
384
00:21:24,260 --> 00:21:27,260
Speak to her. Speak, man.
385
00:21:35,890 --> 00:21:37,550
She might laugh at me.
386
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:42,480
It is the one thing
in this world I fear.
387
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,490
Pardon, Monsieur,
a lady outside asking for you.
388
00:21:48,410 --> 00:21:49,750
Monsieur.
389
00:21:50,340 --> 00:21:51,270
A Duenna.
390
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,530
I have a message for you
from a...a certain lady.
391
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,760
She desires to know when
and where she may see you privately.
392
00:21:57,810 --> 00:22:00,070
She has certain
things to tell you.
393
00:22:00,690 --> 00:22:01,850
Certain...
394
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,010
Things!
395
00:22:04,230 --> 00:22:05,720
She wishes to see me?
396
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,410
We go tomorrow at dawn
to hear mass at St. Rupe
397
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,070
And afterwards, where
would you suggest?
398
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:12,630
Well, then, I...
399
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:15,300
- Where?
- Well?
400
00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:17,070
Ah....I am thinking.
401
00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:18,080
And you think?
402
00:22:19,770 --> 00:22:20,590
Where?
403
00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:22,060
The shop at Ragueneau's.
404
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:24,580
Yes, yes, Ragueneau,
the pastry cook.
405
00:22:24,620 --> 00:22:25,400
Who dwells?
406
00:22:26,650 --> 00:22:27,590
Rue Saint Honore.
407
00:22:27,630 --> 00:22:28,690
Eh...Rue Saint Honore.
408
00:22:28,730 --> 00:22:33,530
We are agreed. At 7 o'clock.
Until then. Adieu.
409
00:22:38,790 --> 00:22:39,940
I'll be there.
410
00:22:41,620 --> 00:22:44,110
Me! To see me!
411
00:22:44,260 --> 00:22:45,830
Ah, not quite so gloomy.
412
00:22:45,870 --> 00:22:47,580
After all, she knows
that I exist.
413
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,060
Imagine, she has
asked to see me!
414
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:52,240
So, now you're
going to be happy?
415
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,350
Happy.
I'm going to be a storm.
A flame!
416
00:22:55,390 --> 00:22:58,430
I need to fight whole
armies all alone!
417
00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,840
I have ten hearts!
418
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,280
I have a hundred arms!.
419
00:23:01,310 --> 00:23:04,450
I feel too strong
to war with mortals!
420
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,150
BRING ME GIANTS!
421
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:11,240
Quiet, please, shhh.
We are rehearsing back here.
422
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,600
So sorry.
Ha, ha, ha.
423
00:23:21,490 --> 00:23:22,280
Cyrano.
424
00:23:22,830 --> 00:23:23,630
Cyrano.
425
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,590
Ragueneau.
426
00:23:26,150 --> 00:23:27,910
Oh, thank goodness
you're still here.
427
00:23:27,950 --> 00:23:29,180
Well, what's the matter.
428
00:23:29,210 --> 00:23:30,410
I'm afraid to go home.
429
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,040
Why?
430
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,050
You know those
comic verses I wrote?
431
00:23:33,090 --> 00:23:34,830
About the congregation.
432
00:23:34,860 --> 00:23:37,260
Cyrano, he's hired ruffians.
Bullies.
433
00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:39,740
A hundred, waiting for
me on the way home.
434
00:23:39,780 --> 00:23:41,620
They're gonna beat me.
Cane me!
435
00:23:41,650 --> 00:23:44,450
Please, would you permit me
to spend the night with you?
436
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,420
A hundred men,
is that all?
437
00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:49,610
Ragueneau, you're
going home tonight.
438
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,630
But they're armed.
They're cutthroats!
439
00:23:51,690 --> 00:23:53,620
Take this lantern.
Forward march.
440
00:23:53,660 --> 00:23:55,760
I say that I'll be the man
to see you to your shop.
441
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,150
Not you, I want no help from you.
442
00:23:57,190 --> 00:23:58,510
For even for a hundred,
you're mad.
443
00:23:58,550 --> 00:23:59,730
Those are the odds I want.
444
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,420
Why for this pastry cook?
445
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,820
First, because this
pastry cook is a friend of mine.
446
00:24:04,930 --> 00:24:07,820
Second, because this
pastry cook is also a poet.
447
00:24:07,950 --> 00:24:09,360
And, most important,
448
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:12,000
if anything should
happen to this pastry cook,
449
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:16,870
tomorrow morning at seven
his shop will be closed.
450
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:19,590
Goodnight.
451
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,060
(a whistle signal)
452
00:25:37,430 --> 00:25:38,480
Cyrano. Help!
453
00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:43,580
Look out behind you!
454
00:26:22,750 --> 00:26:23,810
I have been robbed.
455
00:26:24,370 --> 00:26:26,070
- There are no hundred here.
456
00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:32,360
It's, it's, it's...
457
00:26:33,820 --> 00:26:35,230
Be quick. Inside.
458
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,550
Bolt the door!
459
00:26:48,510 --> 00:26:49,310
Ah!
460
00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:08,660
Yah!
461
00:27:10,460 --> 00:27:12,210
(ruffians shouting)
462
00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:01,010
Ah!
463
00:28:03,860 --> 00:28:04,560
Awk.
464
00:28:05,860 --> 00:28:08,030
(ruffians shouting)
465
00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:17,280
(Le Bret)
- Cyrano!
466
00:28:17,310 --> 00:28:18,320
- Hold!
467
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:34,330
Ah.
468
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,420
How do you feel?
469
00:28:37,460 --> 00:28:39,540
Oh, pleasantly exhilarated.
470
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:42,990
- Come, I know a little tavern not far...
- Where's Ragueneau?
471
00:28:43,310 --> 00:28:46,320
Ragueneau?
Ragueneau!
472
00:28:46,730 --> 00:28:49,510
Little boy, come out.
All's well!
473
00:28:50,330 --> 00:28:51,990
- Is it over?
- All over.
474
00:28:52,220 --> 00:28:53,020
Really?
475
00:28:54,500 --> 00:28:55,340
So soon?
476
00:28:55,370 --> 00:28:56,140
Ha, ha, ha.
477
00:28:56,170 --> 00:28:59,480
Oh, if only I'd had my sword.
How many did we kill?
478
00:28:59,510 --> 00:29:00,330
Oh, about eight.
479
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:00,960
Eight.
480
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,410
Eight!
481
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,420
Ohhhh.
482
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,910
This.....gentleman
begins to annoy me.
483
00:29:31,980 --> 00:29:33,630
(Ragueneau is a poet, too.)
484
00:29:35,060 --> 00:29:40,010
No. The sauce and meat must rhyme.
Add a pinch of marigold and thyme.
485
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,960
Your house, of course, needs a stronger roof.
Eh? There's proof.
486
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:45,830
Cyrano.
487
00:29:46,830 --> 00:29:47,500
Cyrano.
488
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,100
Come in and eat.
489
00:29:49,130 --> 00:29:51,110
- What time is it?
- Not quite seven.
490
00:29:51,130 --> 00:29:54,140
Oh, now, please, Cyrano.
A man without breakfast is like...
491
00:29:54,180 --> 00:29:56,720
No.
Could she have changed her mind?
492
00:29:56,750 --> 00:29:57,920
Aw, she wouldn't dare.
493
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,900
We were magnificent last night.
494
00:30:00,370 --> 00:30:01,830
And at the theater, too.
495
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,320
'Then, as I end the refrain'....
496
00:30:04,350 --> 00:30:07,390
When she arrives.
Where can we converse undisturbed?
497
00:30:07,420 --> 00:30:09,190
Wherever you like.
My shop is yours.
498
00:30:09,310 --> 00:30:11,900
The little dining room
is quite romantic.
499
00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:14,490
'Thrust home!'
Yea gods, what a line.
500
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,650
- 'Then as I end the re....'
- Vanish.
501
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:18,110
- Uh, huh, she's come?
- Shhhh.
502
00:30:18,140 --> 00:30:18,920
I swear.
503
00:30:27,340 --> 00:30:28,170
Welcome.
504
00:30:38,470 --> 00:30:40,510
- A pardon, one word.
- Oh, yes?
505
00:30:40,550 --> 00:30:41,520
Have you a good digestion?
506
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,430
Oh, wonderful.
507
00:30:43,290 --> 00:30:48,800
Eh, here are some éclairs.
Uh, creampuffs.
508
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,160
Some, uh, jellyrolls.
And do you like nature?
509
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,400
I adore it.
510
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,760
Go out and eat these in the sunshine.
Do not return.
511
00:30:56,790 --> 00:30:57,440
But why?
512
00:30:57,470 --> 00:30:58,910
Until you have finished them.
513
00:30:58,940 --> 00:31:00,340
(outside)
- What do I do then?
514
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,750
(door closes)
515
00:31:09,970 --> 00:31:13,000
Blessed above all others be the hour
when you remember to remember me,
516
00:31:13,230 --> 00:31:15,800
and came to tell me......what?
517
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,750
To tell you that....
518
00:31:19,060 --> 00:31:21,810
Before I dare tell you I....
519
00:31:22,020 --> 00:31:24,850
Are you, I wonder, still
the same big brother almost
520
00:31:24,890 --> 00:31:26,720
that you used to be
when we were children,
521
00:31:26,750 --> 00:31:29,570
playing by the pond
in the old garden down there?
522
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,570
At Bergerac.
Those lovely summers.
523
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,700
You use to make swords
out of bulrushes.
524
00:31:33,740 --> 00:31:35,810
And you, dandelions
also golden hair.
525
00:31:35,890 --> 00:31:37,930
In those days
I could tell you everything.
526
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,860
And you did
everything I wished.
527
00:31:40,060 --> 00:31:44,830
Little Roxane, a sweet tyrone
with short skirts and long hair.
528
00:31:44,860 --> 00:31:45,780
Was I pretty?
529
00:31:49,830 --> 00:31:51,270
Not too plain.
530
00:31:52,150 --> 00:31:54,490
Sometimes when you had fallen
or hurt your hand,
531
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,670
you used to come running to me,
and I would be your mother and say,
532
00:31:57,710 --> 00:32:02,770
oh, with a very grownup voice,
'Now, what have you been doing to yourself?'
533
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,300
'Let me see.'
534
00:32:05,890 --> 00:32:07,060
- Oh!
- No one that.
535
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:08,230
Wait, let me see.
536
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,540
Still. At your age?
537
00:32:12,010 --> 00:32:13,810
Now, how did you do that?
538
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,910
Playing with the big boys
at the Place de Neanne.
539
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:18,410
Come here.
540
00:32:19,330 --> 00:32:21,020
Such a wise little mother.
541
00:32:21,030 --> 00:32:24,740
And tell me, while I wash this
blood away, how many you played with?
542
00:32:24,770 --> 00:32:26,840
- Oh, about a hundred.
- A hundred?
543
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,950
- More or less.
- It can't be.
544
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:31,080
No.
545
00:32:31,670 --> 00:32:33,720
Tell me what you were
going to tell me.....
546
00:32:34,130 --> 00:32:35,320
if you dared.
547
00:32:36,190 --> 00:32:38,060
I think I do dare, now.
548
00:32:38,860 --> 00:32:41,450
It seems so like
those happy days long ago.
549
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,780
Yes, I dare.
550
00:32:44,350 --> 00:32:47,190
Listen....I love someone.
551
00:32:47,850 --> 00:32:48,440
Yes?
552
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,150
Someone who does not know.
553
00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:51,340
Yes?
554
00:32:51,450 --> 00:32:54,970
Someone who loves me, too,
but is afraid of me and keeps away
555
00:32:55,010 --> 00:32:56,340
and never says one word.
556
00:32:57,570 --> 00:32:58,270
(softly)
Yes.
557
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,210
Give my that hand.
558
00:33:01,870 --> 00:33:03,080
Why, how hot it is.
559
00:33:04,390 --> 00:33:06,390
Yes, he loves me.
I am sure of it.
560
00:33:06,740 --> 00:33:07,530
(softly)
Yes.
561
00:33:08,110 --> 00:33:10,730
And he is a soldier, too,
in your own regiment,
562
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,710
your own company.
563
00:33:11,740 --> 00:33:12,750
(loud)
Yes.
564
00:33:13,340 --> 00:33:14,480
Such a man.
565
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,280
He is proud, noble, young, brave,
566
00:33:18,610 --> 00:33:19,700
beautiful!
567
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:22,550
(softly)
Beautiful.
568
00:33:25,180 --> 00:33:26,040
What's the matter?
569
00:33:26,460 --> 00:33:27,160
Oh, nothing.
570
00:33:28,110 --> 00:33:30,210
It's this, my hand.
571
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,280
I love him.
That is all.
572
00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:38,230
And I have never seen him
anywhere except in the theater.
573
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,710
You have never spoken?
574
00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:42,790
Only with our hearts.
575
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,080
Well, then, how do you know?
576
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:50,270
Well, people talk about people,
and I hear things, and...
577
00:33:51,370 --> 00:33:52,700
and I know.
578
00:33:53,890 --> 00:33:55,540
(firmly)
You say he is in the guards?
579
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,530
His name?
580
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,270
Baron Christian de Neuvillette.
581
00:34:02,790 --> 00:34:03,910
You know him?
582
00:34:04,290 --> 00:34:05,650
He is not in the guards.
583
00:34:05,690 --> 00:34:07,020
Yes, since last week.
584
00:34:07,770 --> 00:34:09,550
He is only lately
come to Paris...
585
00:34:09,730 --> 00:34:11,140
from Normandy.
586
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,070
So soon.
So soon we lose our hearts.
587
00:34:15,570 --> 00:34:16,160
What...
(door opens)
588
00:34:16,190 --> 00:34:17,220
(Duenna)
- Monsieur de Bergerac
589
00:34:17,250 --> 00:34:18,850
- I have eaten all the cakes.
590
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,280
Good.
Now, go out and enjoy nature.
591
00:34:23,020 --> 00:34:26,110
But my dear child, you love
only words, wit, poetry.
592
00:34:26,150 --> 00:34:29,950
Why, for all you know,
the man may be a savage or a fool.
593
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:34,290
Not with such eyes.
I read his soul in them.
594
00:34:35,270 --> 00:34:38,360
Yes, all our souls are
written in our eyes.
595
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,720
And you have brought
me here to tell me this?
596
00:34:42,980 --> 00:34:45,890
I do not yet quite understand,
madam, the reason for your confidence.
597
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:52,640
They say, that in your company,
it frightens me, you are all Gascon.
598
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,850
We pick a quarrel with any outsider
who intrudes himself.
599
00:34:54,890 --> 00:34:56,250
Is that what you have heard?
600
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,150
- I'm so afraid for him.
- Not without reason.
601
00:34:59,190 --> 00:35:03,730
And I thought you...
it's you whom they all respect and fear.
602
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,590
You want me to defend
your little Baron?
603
00:35:08,630 --> 00:35:09,740
Will you?
604
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:11,670
Just for me.
605
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,440
Because I have always
been your friend.
606
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,790
And this is what
you want of me?
607
00:35:16,820 --> 00:35:18,430
Will you be his friend?
608
00:35:20,450 --> 00:35:22,200
I will be his friend.
609
00:35:22,230 --> 00:35:23,040
And never let him
fight a duel.
610
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,060
No, never.
611
00:35:24,090 --> 00:35:24,750
Promise?
612
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:26,980
I promise.
613
00:35:27,420 --> 00:35:30,860
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
I knew I could rely on you.
614
00:35:33,930 --> 00:35:35,410
Well, now I must go.
615
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,480
Oh, you never told
me about last night.
616
00:35:43,970 --> 00:35:45,790
Why, you must
have been a hero.
617
00:35:45,820 --> 00:35:50,240
Have write and tell me all about it,
and...about himself.
618
00:35:51,420 --> 00:35:54,330
Oh, you are a darling.
We are great friends, are we not?
619
00:35:54,860 --> 00:35:56,330
He must write to me.
620
00:35:58,390 --> 00:36:01,490
A hundred men against one.
You shall tell me the whole story
621
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:02,980
someday when we have time.
622
00:36:06,570 --> 00:36:10,170
A hundred men.
What courage!
623
00:36:14,030 --> 00:36:16,810
I have done better.
624
00:36:21,820 --> 00:36:22,450
Well?
625
00:36:24,890 --> 00:36:26,050
Let us leave this place.
626
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,620
But the whole company
is on its way here.
627
00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:28,330
Oh, no.
628
00:36:28,370 --> 00:36:30,870
On my heels. Naturally I told
them all about last night.
629
00:36:30,900 --> 00:36:31,880
They're wild.
630
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:32,830
Here they are.
631
00:36:32,860 --> 00:36:35,420
- Yes, but, why did you?
- Perhaps I can stop them.
632
00:36:36,210 --> 00:36:36,870
Never mind.
633
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,220
Cyrano!
634
00:36:39,260 --> 00:36:46,070
(greetings and cheers to Cyrano)
635
00:36:49,130 --> 00:36:51,570
Eight dead men in the street.
Scandalous.
636
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,010
You know my edict
against dueling, nephew.
637
00:36:54,050 --> 00:36:55,580
I expect to have it enforced.
638
00:36:55,610 --> 00:36:58,940
Furthermore, I wish to know
who was responsible for last night's
639
00:36:58,970 --> 00:37:00,410
outrage at the Place de Neanne.
640
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:01,840
I understand, Your Eminence.
641
00:37:02,050 --> 00:37:04,180
Very well.
And now I have news
642
00:37:04,210 --> 00:37:06,310
that should be more
to you liking.
643
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:13,410
I fear, in confidence, our
uneasy armistice with Spain is doomed.
644
00:37:13,450 --> 00:37:14,410
My colonelcy?
645
00:37:14,450 --> 00:37:16,670
You commission has been prepared.
646
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:18,890
Oh, thank you, uncle, thank you.
647
00:37:19,230 --> 00:37:20,630
Oh, one thing more.
648
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,600
Last night at the theater,
the duel in rhyme,
649
00:37:24,790 --> 00:37:26,970
that guardsman with a nose.
650
00:37:27,010 --> 00:37:30,240
- Bergerac, that impossible Gascon.
- Yes, impossible.
651
00:37:30,260 --> 00:37:32,300
- His treatment of Montfleury.
- Abominable.
652
00:37:32,330 --> 00:37:35,230
- The arrogance with which he closed the play.
- Incredible.
653
00:37:35,260 --> 00:37:38,130
- It will be a miracle if the Vicomte survives.
- A sorrow.
654
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,720
What will you do
with him, Your Eminence?
655
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,100
I? Nothing.
656
00:37:41,140 --> 00:37:43,290
I thought I might
leave that to you.
657
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,500
To me?
658
00:37:44,530 --> 00:37:48,270
Yes. Place him somewhere
in your service,
659
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:49,890
with a comfortable allowance.
660
00:37:49,930 --> 00:37:51,390
He looked a little threadbare.
661
00:37:51,430 --> 00:37:55,020
I...You...But, Your Eminence.
You detest dueling.
662
00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:55,960
Of course I do.
663
00:37:56,350 --> 00:37:58,070
Why didn't you prevent it?
664
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,350
I should much prefer
that monsieur de Beregrac
665
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,300
live by the pen,
rather than die by the sword.
666
00:38:06,590 --> 00:38:08,470
Do you not agree, Antoine?
667
00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:12,560
By all means, Your Eminence.
By all means.
668
00:38:14,830 --> 00:38:21,650
'And then, as I end the refrain...
thrust home.'
669
00:38:24,790 --> 00:38:28,740
(Carousing at Ragueneau's)
670
00:38:33,220 --> 00:38:39,860
(noisy celebration of Cyrano's
defeat of 'a hundred' ruffians)
671
00:38:44,210 --> 00:38:46,580
(Antoine Comte de Guiche enters)
672
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:48,620
Monsieur de Bergerac.
673
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,390
Your Excellency.
674
00:38:51,970 --> 00:38:54,750
I have come to express my....
675
00:38:54,790 --> 00:38:58,550
admiration for both
your exploits last night.
676
00:38:58,590 --> 00:39:01,290
Indeed. Thank you.
677
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,900
My dear fellow,
we may have had our differences,
678
00:39:04,930 --> 00:39:07,550
but I am disposed
to forget them.
679
00:39:07,570 --> 00:39:09,710
That is very generous
of you, sir.
680
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:10,560
No, truly.
681
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,970
You are, it seems, a man
of many skills.
682
00:39:14,010 --> 00:39:17,350
A rare combination
soldier and poet.
683
00:39:18,060 --> 00:39:21,750
- Would you care to join my following?
- No, sir.
684
00:39:21,790 --> 00:39:23,260
I do not follow.
685
00:39:23,770 --> 00:39:25,980
I am told you have
written a play.
686
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,510
As you know, my uncle,
the Cardinal, is also a dramatist.
687
00:39:29,540 --> 00:39:30,990
I might help you there.
688
00:39:31,150 --> 00:39:34,050
Cyrano, now at last
you can have it performed.
689
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,200
Why not?
690
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:36,620
I could take it to him.
691
00:39:37,860 --> 00:39:39,330
Really?
692
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,460
Of course.
Let him rewrite a few lines
693
00:39:41,490 --> 00:39:43,770
here and there, and
he'll find a theater for you.
694
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,230
Rewrite...my lines?
695
00:39:47,670 --> 00:39:49,150
Impossible.
696
00:39:49,190 --> 00:39:52,040
Uh, when he likes a thing,
he pays well.
697
00:39:52,070 --> 00:39:53,240
Yes, but not so well as I.
698
00:39:53,270 --> 00:39:55,460
When I have made a line
that sings itself
699
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:57,220
I pay myself a hundred times.
700
00:39:57,250 --> 00:39:58,940
You are proud, my friend.
701
00:39:58,970 --> 00:40:00,020
You have observed that?
702
00:40:00,060 --> 00:40:02,460
- Cyrano.
See what we found in the street.
703
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:05,140
Plumes dropped in their flight
by those fine birds
704
00:40:05,170 --> 00:40:06,860
who showed their
tail feathers!
705
00:40:06,890 --> 00:40:08,590
(laughter)
706
00:40:08,620 --> 00:40:10,180
The man who hired
those scoundrels,
707
00:40:10,210 --> 00:40:12,010
he must be an
angry man today.
708
00:40:12,050 --> 00:40:13,430
Who was it?
Do you know?
709
00:40:13,850 --> 00:40:14,790
It was I.
710
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,870
I hired them to do the sort
of work we do not soil our hands with.
711
00:40:20,660 --> 00:40:22,940
Punishing an insolent poet.
712
00:40:22,970 --> 00:40:25,610
They ought to be mounted
before they spoil.
713
00:40:25,650 --> 00:40:27,850
(laughter)
What shall we do with them?
714
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:36,460
Sir, will you not return these
to your friends?
715
00:40:40,310 --> 00:40:42,190
Have you read Don Quixote?
716
00:40:42,230 --> 00:40:44,650
I have and found
myself the hero.
717
00:40:44,690 --> 00:40:47,770
Be so good as to read once more
the capture of the windmills.
718
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,010
Chapter 13.
719
00:40:50,150 --> 00:40:52,200
Windmills, remember,
if you fight with them...
720
00:40:52,230 --> 00:40:56,590
may swing round their huge arms
and cast you down into the mire.
721
00:40:56,630 --> 00:40:59,010
Or up among the stars.
722
00:41:01,250 --> 00:41:01,970
Gentlemen.
723
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:03,320
Gentlemen.
724
00:41:03,570 --> 00:41:04,550
Gentlemen.
725
00:41:05,220 --> 00:41:06,610
You've done it, now.
726
00:41:06,650 --> 00:41:07,860
You've made your fortune.
727
00:41:07,890 --> 00:41:09,070
He was willing to forget.
728
00:41:09,490 --> 00:41:11,180
There you go again, growling.
729
00:41:11,210 --> 00:41:13,460
Yesss,
this latest pose of yours,
730
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:16,070
ruining every opportunity
that comes you way,
731
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:17,100
becomes exaggerated.
732
00:41:17,140 --> 00:41:18,250
Very well, then, I exaggerate.
733
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:19,710
There are certain things
in this world
734
00:41:19,740 --> 00:41:21,100
a man does well
to carry to extremes.
735
00:41:21,140 --> 00:41:23,710
Your precious independence.
Your white plume.
736
00:41:23,740 --> 00:41:25,410
How do you expect
to succeed in life?
737
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,400
What would you have me do?
738
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,590
Seek for the patronage
of some great man
739
00:41:28,630 --> 00:41:31,880
and like a creeping vine
on a tall tree crawl upward
740
00:41:31,910 --> 00:41:33,520
where I cannot stand alone?
741
00:41:33,940 --> 00:41:34,850
No, thank you.
742
00:41:35,210 --> 00:41:39,880
Be a buffoon in the vile hope
of teasing out a smile on some cold face.
743
00:41:40,340 --> 00:41:41,710
No, thank you.
744
00:41:42,050 --> 00:41:44,260
Eat a toad for breakfast
every morning.
745
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:47,530
Make my knees calloused.
Cultivate a supple spine.
746
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,320
Wear out my belly
groveling in the dust.
747
00:41:49,590 --> 00:41:50,400
No, thank you.
748
00:41:50,860 --> 00:41:54,880
With my left hand scratch the back
of any swine that roots up gold for me
749
00:41:54,910 --> 00:41:58,910
while my right, too proud to know
his partner's business, takes in the fee.
750
00:41:58,940 --> 00:41:59,920
No, thank you.
751
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,810
Shall I use the fire God gave me
to burn incense all day long?
752
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,020
No, thank you.
753
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,410
Struggle to insinuate my name
into the columns of the Gazette?
754
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:13,250
Calculate, scheme, be afraid?
Love more to make a visit than a poem?
755
00:42:13,290 --> 00:42:15,990
Seek introductions, favors,
influences?
756
00:42:16,020 --> 00:42:17,050
No, thank you.
757
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,270
No, I thank you, and
again I thank you.
758
00:42:23,930 --> 00:42:30,320
But, to sing, to laugh, to dream,
to walk in my own way,
759
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,510
free with and eye
to see things as they are.
760
00:42:33,380 --> 00:42:35,240
A voice that means manhood.
761
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,640
To cut my have
the right shoes.
762
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:46,150
And a word, a yes, a no,
to fight, or write,
763
00:42:46,830 --> 00:42:48,440
but never to make
a line I have not heard
764
00:42:48,470 --> 00:42:49,780
in my own heart.
765
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,380
To travel any
road under the sun,
766
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,780
under the stars,
767
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,520
nor care if fame or fortune
lie beyond the bourne.
768
00:43:00,370 --> 00:43:02,250
Yet, with all modesty to say,
769
00:43:03,250 --> 00:43:05,830
my soul be satisfied
with flowers,
770
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:08,000
with weeds,
771
00:43:09,210 --> 00:43:10,840
with thorns, even,
772
00:43:11,910 --> 00:43:14,940
but gather them in the one garden
you may call your own.
773
00:43:16,230 --> 00:43:18,450
In a word, I'm too proud
to be a parasite.
774
00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:21,470
And if mine intellect the germ
that grows towering to heaven
775
00:43:21,500 --> 00:43:22,770
like the mountain pine
776
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,570
I stand not high, it may be,
777
00:43:27,260 --> 00:43:28,460
but alone.
778
00:43:28,500 --> 00:43:31,170
Alone, yes, but why
go about making enemies?
779
00:43:32,100 --> 00:43:35,850
Watching other people
making friends...everywhere,
780
00:43:35,890 --> 00:43:37,980
as a dog makes friends.
781
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,550
I mark the manner of
these canine courtesies,
782
00:43:41,580 --> 00:43:46,770
and think, here comes,
thank heaven, another enemy.
783
00:43:46,810 --> 00:43:52,760
Yes, tell this to all the world,
and then to me say very softly
784
00:43:52,790 --> 00:43:55,540
that she loves you not.
785
00:43:58,830 --> 00:44:00,940
Let me be alone
for a moment.
786
00:44:03,990 --> 00:44:05,050
Cyrano, wait.
787
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,760
Give us your story
of the fight.
788
00:44:07,530 --> 00:44:08,400
Presently.
789
00:44:08,430 --> 00:44:10,010
No, the story, now!
790
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,970
Oh, let him alone.
There's time enough.
791
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,360
I want it now!
792
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,090
As an example for that young
tadpole sneaking out the doorway.
793
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,040
You, there.
794
00:44:25,310 --> 00:44:26,820
Are you addressing me?
795
00:44:28,190 --> 00:44:32,770
Yes, you flat-footed
Norman farmer.
796
00:44:36,190 --> 00:44:37,470
You wish something of me?
797
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:39,950
Listen, Monsieur de...de...de
whatever your name is.
798
00:44:39,980 --> 00:44:40,920
de Neuvillette!
799
00:44:41,090 --> 00:44:43,230
Baron Christan de Neuvillette.
800
00:44:43,270 --> 00:44:45,370
Very well, de Neuvillette.
801
00:44:45,670 --> 00:44:48,080
As you are a newcomer here,
you should know there is a
802
00:44:48,110 --> 00:44:52,300
certain subject or object, if you prefer,
that is never mentioned among us.
803
00:44:52,340 --> 00:44:53,340
And that is....?
804
00:44:53,370 --> 00:44:54,500
Look at me!
805
00:44:54,540 --> 00:44:55,980
(touching his nose)
806
00:44:56,020 --> 00:44:57,360
You understand?
807
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:58,670
You mean....?
808
00:44:58,700 --> 00:45:01,090
Thus we never speak that word.
809
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,390
To even breathe it is
to have to do with him.
810
00:45:04,420 --> 00:45:08,760
He has exterminated several
whose mere tone of voice suggested...
811
00:45:08,790 --> 00:45:12,920
Would you die before your time?
Just mention anything convex.
812
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,530
Or cartilaginous.
813
00:45:14,570 --> 00:45:18,540
One word. One syllable.
One gesture. Nay, one sneeze.
814
00:45:18,570 --> 00:45:21,330
And your handkerchief
becomes your winding sheet.
815
00:45:24,110 --> 00:45:24,920
Captain.
816
00:45:25,430 --> 00:45:26,290
Sir?
817
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:30,090
What is the proper thing to do
when Gascons grow too boastful?
818
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,820
Prove to them that one may
be a Norman and still have courage.
819
00:45:33,850 --> 00:45:35,100
I thank you.
820
00:45:41,330 --> 00:45:43,360
Come on, Cyrano, your story.
821
00:45:44,420 --> 00:45:47,330
(shouts of encouragement)
822
00:45:47,740 --> 00:45:49,540
Now, let me see.
Where shall we begin?
823
00:45:50,450 --> 00:45:52,510
I followed with our host
to meet those scoundrels
824
00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:53,640
not knowing where
they might attack.
825
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,340
No lamps in those narrow
back streets.
826
00:45:57,500 --> 00:45:58,600
No moon in the sky.
827
00:45:59,340 --> 00:46:01,220
Dark. Everything dark.
828
00:46:01,430 --> 00:46:04,040
It was so dark, Mon Dieux,
you could not see beyond...
829
00:46:04,070 --> 00:46:05,470
Your nose!
830
00:46:05,850 --> 00:46:08,480
(Christian shows his courage.)
831
00:46:25,250 --> 00:46:33,250
Who...is that...man...there?
832
00:46:34,260 --> 00:46:35,380
- A new recruit.
833
00:46:36,070 --> 00:46:37,550
- Arrived last week.
834
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,080
A recruit, eh?
835
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:41,940
Ha, ha---.
836
00:46:41,970 --> 00:46:45,320
His name is Christian de Neuvillette.
837
00:46:45,350 --> 00:46:48,660
(Cyrano remembers his
promise to Roxane.)
838
00:46:58,510 --> 00:46:59,570
I see.
839
00:47:02,670 --> 00:47:03,510
Very well.
840
00:47:04,850 --> 00:47:06,470
As I was saying.
841
00:47:10,830 --> 00:47:11,930
It grew dark.
842
00:47:12,460 --> 00:47:15,180
You could not see
your hand before your eyes.
843
00:47:16,310 --> 00:47:19,470
I marched on thinking our all for
the sake of one amateur poet
844
00:47:19,510 --> 00:47:22,660
- who wrote a verse whenever he took a..
- A nose full.
845
00:47:24,370 --> 00:47:25,770
...whenever he took a notion.,
846
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,600
and might antagonize
some dangerous man.
847
00:47:28,630 --> 00:47:30,830
One powerful enough
to make me pay...
848
00:47:30,860 --> 00:47:31,980
Through the nose!
849
00:47:32,010 --> 00:47:33,090
...pay the piper!
850
00:47:33,410 --> 00:47:35,430
After all, I thought,
why am I putting in my..
851
00:47:35,470 --> 00:47:36,310
- Nose!
852
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:39,170
...putting in my oar in a quarrel
that was none of mine,
853
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,240
however now that I am here,
I may as well go through with it.
854
00:47:41,270 --> 00:47:42,840
Come Gascon, do your duty.
855
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,850
Suddenly a sword
flashed in the dark!
856
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:45,810
I caught it fair...
857
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:46,810
On the nose!
858
00:47:47,940 --> 00:47:49,130
...on my blade!
859
00:47:49,170 --> 00:47:50,530
Before I knew it,
there I was...
860
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:51,690
Rubbing noses!
861
00:47:51,730 --> 00:47:53,840
...crossing swords with
harvard's joy once.
862
00:47:53,870 --> 00:47:54,940
I had the bottom then...
863
00:47:54,980 --> 00:47:55,900
A nosegay!
864
00:47:55,940 --> 00:47:57,160
...a monstrous crab tree.
865
00:47:57,610 --> 00:48:00,170
(breathing heavily)
He went down for as a wave.
866
00:48:00,380 --> 00:48:00,990
I charged...
867
00:48:01,030 --> 00:48:02,590
Who was in the air hard.
868
00:48:02,620 --> 00:48:03,450
...at the two of them.
869
00:48:04,750 --> 00:48:05,900
Another lunged,
and I parried...
870
00:48:05,940 --> 00:48:07,220
Through your nose!
871
00:48:07,250 --> 00:48:09,310
Right out of here!
All of you go!
872
00:48:09,340 --> 00:48:10,120
Leave me with him.
873
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,660
To my arms, sir.
You have courage.
874
00:48:28,690 --> 00:48:29,880
- That pleases me.
- Why?
875
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,820
Come, do you not know
I am her brother?
876
00:48:31,850 --> 00:48:32,460
Whose?
877
00:48:32,500 --> 00:48:34,250
Hers. Roxane.
878
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:38,390
Brother?
879
00:48:39,260 --> 00:48:40,170
You?
880
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,150
Well, a distant cousin.
Much the same.
881
00:48:42,510 --> 00:48:44,450
- Then she has told you?
- Everything.
882
00:48:44,580 --> 00:48:46,680
- She loves me?
- Perhaps.
883
00:48:47,610 --> 00:48:49,950
My dear sir, more than I can say.
I am honored.
884
00:48:49,990 --> 00:48:52,040
- Rather sudden.
- Oh, please, forgive me.
885
00:48:52,260 --> 00:48:54,270
If you knew how
much I have admired you.
886
00:48:54,310 --> 00:48:57,620
- Yes, yes, and all those noses.
- Please. I apologize.
887
00:48:59,060 --> 00:49:00,680
Roxane expects a letter.
888
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:02,300
- From me?
- Yes, why not?
889
00:49:02,340 --> 00:49:03,180
Oh,, No.
890
00:49:03,530 --> 00:49:05,880
- Once I write, that ruins everything.
- Why?
891
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,020
Because, any schoolboy can write
to her more gracefully than I.
892
00:49:09,590 --> 00:49:10,730
A fool!
893
00:49:10,900 --> 00:49:14,560
- You did not attack me like a fool.
- Anyone can pick a quarrel.
894
00:49:14,740 --> 00:49:16,580
No, I'm never at loss
for words among men,
895
00:49:16,610 --> 00:49:21,260
but with any women...
paralyzed...speechless, dumb.
896
00:49:21,460 --> 00:49:23,600
I'm one of those
stammering idiots
897
00:49:23,630 --> 00:49:25,270
who can not court a woman.
898
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:26,170
Really?
899
00:49:26,810 --> 00:49:28,700
As for myself,
it seems to me that
900
00:49:28,730 --> 00:49:32,300
given the opportunity,
and if I put my mind to it,
901
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,390
I could do that..
rather well.
902
00:49:35,420 --> 00:49:37,870
Oh, is I had words to say
what I have here!
903
00:49:37,900 --> 00:49:39,450
If I were handsome
like you.
904
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,780
Together, we could make
one mighty hero of romance.
905
00:49:43,820 --> 00:49:45,330
If only I had your wit.
906
00:49:50,570 --> 00:49:51,710
Borrow it, then.
907
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:53,150
What?
908
00:49:54,670 --> 00:49:55,490
Tell me,
909
00:49:56,910 --> 00:49:59,770
would you dare repeat to her
the words I gave you day by day?
910
00:50:00,330 --> 00:50:02,420
Send to her
the letters that I write?
911
00:50:02,460 --> 00:50:04,800
I mean, that Roxane
should have no disillusionment.
912
00:50:05,180 --> 00:50:06,820
Come, shall we win her
both together?
913
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:07,800
For you?
914
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,970
- Why, Cyrano...
- Christian, why not?
915
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,850
I...I'm afraid.
916
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,030
Afraid that when you
have her all alone, you will lose her.
917
00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:16,420
Have not fear,
it is your self she loves.
918
00:50:16,450 --> 00:50:17,920
Give her yourself.
919
00:50:17,950 --> 00:50:23,670
Put into words,
my words...upon your lips.
920
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:25,180
Will you?
921
00:50:26,780 --> 00:50:28,030
Will you?
922
00:50:28,910 --> 00:50:30,740
Does it mean
so much to you?
923
00:50:30,770 --> 00:50:32,360
It means....
924
00:50:34,110 --> 00:50:37,060
It means a comedy,
a situation for a poet.
925
00:50:37,190 --> 00:50:38,350
Come, shall we collaborate?
926
00:50:38,390 --> 00:50:42,420
I'll be your cloak of darkness,
your enchanted sword,
927
00:50:42,460 --> 00:50:45,330
your ring to charm
the fairy princess.
928
00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:49,180
Think!
Is the prize not worth the danger?
929
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:52,980
My friend!
930
00:50:54,620 --> 00:50:55,740
My friend.
931
00:50:56,890 --> 00:51:00,100
Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
932
00:51:00,350 --> 00:51:03,650
Plucking the flowers,
we will keep the plant in bloom.
933
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,010
Thus do I love thee,
my darling.
934
00:51:08,890 --> 00:51:09,670
Idiot.
935
00:51:09,910 --> 00:51:12,200
There are a dozen
ways to read that line.
936
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:14,500
Can't you give it some meaning?
Any meaning!
937
00:51:14,530 --> 00:51:15,950
THUS do I love thee!
938
00:51:15,980 --> 00:51:17,280
Thus do "I" love thee.
939
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:18,550
Thus do I LOVE thee.
940
00:51:18,580 --> 00:51:20,930
Thus do I love THEE,
THEE, THEE.
941
00:51:22,580 --> 00:51:25,680
Who knows your smile
has known a perfect thing.
942
00:51:25,710 --> 00:51:28,400
You are a white rose,
wherein love lies in ambush
943
00:51:28,430 --> 00:51:30,180
for its natural prey.
944
00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:33,760
In the garden of my heart,
you are the most...
945
00:51:33,930 --> 00:51:35,680
eh, the most....
946
00:51:37,450 --> 00:51:39,750
fragrant blossom.
947
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,780
As the tender sapling
thirsts for rain,
948
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,900
as the eagle seeks the sky,
949
00:51:48,030 --> 00:51:51,050
as the wave
hurtles toward the shore,
950
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,990
my heart yearns for you.
951
00:51:54,460 --> 00:51:55,820
Good, good.
952
00:51:55,970 --> 00:51:58,740
You know, you're beginning
to have a feel for words.
953
00:51:58,770 --> 00:52:02,010
- Words. I'm sick of words.
- Those are your weapons.
954
00:52:02,050 --> 00:52:03,190
How else do you conquer?
955
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,130
Yes, but when, when?
956
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,190
They're fighting in the north, now.
You know that.
957
00:52:06,230 --> 00:52:07,690
The Regiment will be
called up any day,
958
00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:08,840
and I've never
even kissed her.
959
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,940
Patience, my boy, patience.
960
00:52:11,980 --> 00:52:13,110
I've been patient.
961
00:52:13,140 --> 00:52:16,280
Why, she sees the Compte de Guiche
as often as she does me.
962
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,120
Do you suppose
she's playing with me?
963
00:52:21,260 --> 00:52:22,500
Making a fool of me?
964
00:52:23,850 --> 00:52:24,880
Impossible.
965
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,210
How can you say?
How do you know?
966
00:52:27,210 --> 00:52:31,390
Cyrano, you have her confidence.
You could find out.
967
00:52:39,300 --> 00:52:40,690
Nonsense, I say.
968
00:52:42,260 --> 00:52:43,440
Oh, very well.
969
00:52:43,870 --> 00:52:45,190
I'll scout the terrain.
970
00:52:45,230 --> 00:52:47,200
Listen, Cyrano,
intelligently, discreetly.
971
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:48,160
Yes.
972
00:52:48,190 --> 00:52:49,340
With finesse.
973
00:52:52,010 --> 00:52:55,510
And, uh, what do you think
of Christian after all these weeks?
974
00:52:55,620 --> 00:52:58,030
He is beautiful,
but he's brilliant.
975
00:52:58,070 --> 00:52:59,760
- And I love him.
- Good!
976
00:52:59,870 --> 00:53:01,750
Uh, do you find him intellectual?
977
00:53:01,790 --> 00:53:03,600
- More so than you, even.
- Huh?
978
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,470
- Oh, I didn't mean.
- No, no, no, I am glad.
979
00:53:06,500 --> 00:53:09,290
No man ever so beautifully
said those things.
980
00:53:09,330 --> 00:53:11,900
Those pretty nothings
to everything.
981
00:53:12,310 --> 00:53:15,780
Sometimes, he,. he, he falls
into a reverie.
982
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,110
His inspiration..fails.
983
00:53:20,050 --> 00:53:23,940
But, then all at once,
he will say something absolutely...
984
00:53:23,980 --> 00:53:25,370
Ah!
985
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:26,760
Really?
986
00:53:27,470 --> 00:53:28,910
How like a man!
987
00:53:28,940 --> 00:53:32,220
You think because a man
has a handsome face he must be a fool.
988
00:53:33,330 --> 00:53:34,790
Not necessarily.
989
00:53:34,830 --> 00:53:38,410
Uh, he talks well about, uh,
matters of the heart?
990
00:53:38,450 --> 00:53:42,420
He does not talk.
He rhapsodizes. He dreams.
991
00:53:42,460 --> 00:53:46,360
Only the other night he said to me,
extemporaneously, mind you.
992
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:47,220
Oh, of course.
993
00:53:47,980 --> 00:53:50,660
'Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
994
00:53:50,700 --> 00:53:54,760
'Plucking the flowers
we will keep the plants in bloom.'
995
00:53:55,720 --> 00:53:56,730
Well?
996
00:53:56,770 --> 00:53:58,530
Umm, passable.
997
00:53:58,950 --> 00:54:00,010
He writes well?
998
00:54:00,050 --> 00:54:02,080
Wonderfully, listen:
999
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,510
'Knowing you have in store
more heart to give
1000
00:54:05,550 --> 00:54:08,160
- 'than I to find heart room...'
- The first he has too much heart,
1001
00:54:08,190 --> 00:54:10,400
then too little. Just how much heart
does he need?
1002
00:54:10,470 --> 00:54:11,740
You are teasing.
1003
00:54:11,870 --> 00:54:12,870
You are jealous!
1004
00:54:12,910 --> 00:54:13,690
Jealous?
1005
00:54:13,730 --> 00:54:14,440
Yes.
1006
00:54:14,470 --> 00:54:15,840
Poets are all alike.
1007
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:19,660
Would you dare
criticize these lines?
1008
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:25,100
'Only believe that unto you
my whole heart gives one cry.
1009
00:54:25,540 --> 00:54:29,470
'And writing, writes down
more than you receive.
1010
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,010
'Sending you kisses
through my fingertips.
1011
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,020
'Lady, oh, read my letter
with your lips.'
1012
00:54:39,340 --> 00:54:43,820
Yes, those last lines,
but he overwrites.
1013
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:44,970
Listen to this.
1014
00:54:45,010 --> 00:54:46,000
Do you know
them all by heart?
1015
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,070
Every one.
1016
00:54:47,110 --> 00:54:48,500
Well, I may call
that flattering.
1017
00:54:48,530 --> 00:54:49,310
He is a master.
1018
00:54:49,350 --> 00:54:51,850
- Oh, come..
- Yes, a master.
1019
00:54:51,860 --> 00:54:55,270
Huh, a master,...
if you will.
1020
00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:00,520
And, uh, when do you
bestow the laurel wreath?
1021
00:55:00,540 --> 00:55:05,290
How many prodigies of poetry
must this new Hercules perform?
1022
00:55:05,390 --> 00:55:06,490
I do not know.
1023
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:11,580
My friend, you men own the world
and all that's in it.
1024
00:55:12,020 --> 00:55:17,990
Woman is at best a prize, a property
valued much the same as a horse or a dog,
1025
00:55:18,150 --> 00:55:22,010
unlike the pear and sheen of skin
and soundness of teeth and limb.
1026
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:27,870
Well, if I must be chattel,
then the terms shall be mine,
1027
00:55:27,910 --> 00:55:31,480
and the price according
to my own values.
1028
00:55:31,510 --> 00:55:32,670
There.
1029
00:55:34,070 --> 00:55:35,460
I see.
1030
00:55:37,060 --> 00:55:39,880
Christian tells me
that you meet tonight.
1031
00:55:42,510 --> 00:55:45,210
What would you have him
speak about?
1032
00:55:46,230 --> 00:55:47,910
Oh, nothing,
1033
00:55:48,260 --> 00:55:49,530
and everything.
1034
00:55:49,980 --> 00:55:54,140
I shall say, speak to me
of love in your own words.
1035
00:55:54,550 --> 00:55:56,810
Improvise, rhapsodize.
1036
00:55:57,540 --> 00:55:58,790
Be eloquent.
1037
00:55:59,910 --> 00:56:01,540
But you will not tell him,
will you?
1038
00:56:01,570 --> 00:56:03,270
Ah, perish the thought.
1039
00:56:03,590 --> 00:56:06,370
Madame, Compte de Guiche.
1040
00:56:10,720 --> 00:56:12,820
(Sigh)
Madame.
1041
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:16,880
Monsieur.
1042
00:56:17,770 --> 00:56:18,770
Madame.
1043
00:56:21,570 --> 00:56:24,270
Monsieur.
(Crunch)
1044
00:56:33,430 --> 00:56:35,090
- Christian, quick.
- No.
1045
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,030
There's still time to learn your lines.
No.
1046
00:56:37,070 --> 00:56:39,760
I have some brilliant phrases for you,
brilliant, sensitive...
1047
00:56:39,790 --> 00:56:40,500
No.
1048
00:56:41,150 --> 00:56:42,160
I'll have not more of it.
1049
00:56:42,190 --> 00:56:44,250
Taking all my words, my sentences
all from you,
1050
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,490
- making our love a little comedy.
- Don't you real...
1051
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,480
It was a game at first,
but now she cares.
1052
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:49,390
Huh?
1053
00:56:49,430 --> 00:56:50,750
Thanks to you.
Uh.
1054
00:56:50,790 --> 00:56:53,060
I'm not afraid any longer.
I'll speak for myself, now.
1055
00:56:53,090 --> 00:56:53,720
Oh, undoubtedly.
1056
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,990
I will. You shall see!
1057
00:56:56,500 --> 00:56:59,110
Besides, I know enough
to take a woman in my arms,
1058
00:56:59,150 --> 00:57:00,870
and tonight, I will.
1059
00:57:04,070 --> 00:57:05,420
(knocking on door)
- Christian!
1060
00:57:05,450 --> 00:57:07,210
Thank you, my friend,
and goodbye.
1061
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:09,040
- Christian, I beg of you.
- Leave me!
1062
00:57:09,070 --> 00:57:10,830
- You're making a grave error.
- Go away!
1063
00:57:13,540 --> 00:57:14,540
So be it.
1064
00:57:16,950 --> 00:57:18,600
(door opens)
1065
00:57:20,300 --> 00:57:21,440
Christian.
1066
00:57:21,470 --> 00:57:22,580
Roxane.
1067
00:57:23,190 --> 00:57:25,330
I'm so glad you are early.
1068
00:57:26,430 --> 00:57:28,400
Let us stay out here
in the moonlight.
1069
00:57:29,150 --> 00:57:30,490
It's so pleasant.
1070
00:57:32,780 --> 00:57:33,630
Sit down.
1071
00:57:36,450 --> 00:57:37,720
There, so.
1072
00:57:40,770 --> 00:57:43,780
Now, speak to me.
1073
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:45,470
I love you.
1074
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,330
Yes, speak to me of love.
1075
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,390
I...love you.
1076
00:57:53,430 --> 00:57:55,640
Now, be eloquent.
Be brilliant for me.
1077
00:57:56,300 --> 00:57:57,940
Tonight of all nights.
1078
00:57:58,250 --> 00:58:01,560
I love you....so.
1079
00:58:03,610 --> 00:58:07,630
You have your scene.
Now, improvise, rhapsodize.
1080
00:58:07,660 --> 00:58:11,570
I love you...
very much!
1081
00:58:14,500 --> 00:58:17,600
I ask for cream,
and you give me milk and water.
1082
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:22,490
Tell me firstly,
how you love me.
1083
00:58:22,530 --> 00:58:23,780
Very much!
1084
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:26,440
Is that all you feel?
1085
00:58:26,470 --> 00:58:29,360
Your throat, if only
I might kiss it.
1086
00:58:29,390 --> 00:58:30,170
Christian!
1087
00:58:30,210 --> 00:58:31,520
But, Roxane, I love you.
1088
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:32,860
Again.
1089
00:58:32,890 --> 00:58:34,450
No, not again.
I do not love you.
1090
00:58:37,490 --> 00:58:38,540
That is better.
1091
00:58:39,380 --> 00:58:42,870
I...I adore you!
1092
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:43,870
Oh!
1093
00:58:44,570 --> 00:58:46,070
I know I grow absurd.
1094
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:48,870
And that distresses me as much
as if you had grown ugly!
1095
00:58:51,020 --> 00:58:54,910
Please. Gather your dreams
together into words.
1096
00:58:54,950 --> 00:58:57,830
I...um, I...
1097
00:58:57,870 --> 00:59:00,280
I know. You love me!
Good night!
1098
00:59:00,310 --> 00:59:01,440
Oh, but wait, please!
1099
00:59:01,470 --> 00:59:02,530
I was going to say...
1100
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:04,510
That you adore me.
Yes, I know that, too.
1101
00:59:04,540 --> 00:59:06,720
-No, go away.
- I....
1102
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,290
(door slams shut)
1103
00:59:25,170 --> 00:59:28,330
(Cyrano claps his hands)
1104
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:29,870
A great success.
1105
00:59:30,940 --> 00:59:31,720
Help me.
1106
00:59:31,750 --> 00:59:33,620
Not I.
Speak for yourself, my friend.
1107
00:59:33,660 --> 00:59:35,220
Why I...I can't.
1108
00:59:35,250 --> 00:59:38,040
Well, at least you know enough
to take a woman in your arms.
1109
00:59:38,070 --> 00:59:39,680
Oh, Cyrano, please!
1110
00:59:39,790 --> 00:59:41,610
What, and make your love
a little comedy.
1111
00:59:41,650 --> 00:59:44,060
Cyrano, I cannot live
unless I win her back, now.
1112
00:59:44,100 --> 00:59:44,610
This moment!
1113
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,890
This moment. How the devil
am I to teach you now, this mo...
1114
00:59:47,980 --> 00:59:48,940
(Christian)
Her window.
1115
00:59:49,510 --> 00:59:51,690
- Help me, Cyrano, help me.
- Shhhh.
1116
00:59:53,290 --> 00:59:54,800
(Cyrano)
It does seem fairly dark.
1117
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:55,780
(Christian)
Well? Well?
1118
00:59:57,490 --> 00:59:59,190
(Cyrano)
It is more than
you deserve.
1119
01:00:00,550 --> 01:00:02,010
(Cyrano)
I must try out what
can be done.
1120
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:03,040
(Cyrano)
Stand over there.
1121
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,500
(Cyrano)
Idiot, here, before the balcony.
I'll whisper you what to say.
1122
01:00:09,540 --> 01:00:11,380
- She'll hear..
- Shhhh. Call her.
1123
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:13,690
(Christian)
Roxane.
1124
01:00:14,950 --> 01:00:17,330
(Christian louder)
Roxane.
1125
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,220
(balcony window opens)
1126
01:00:21,690 --> 01:00:22,760
Who's calling?
1127
01:00:23,430 --> 01:00:24,240
Christian.
1128
01:00:24,570 --> 01:00:25,670
You again.
1129
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:27,420
I...had to tell you.
1130
01:00:27,710 --> 01:00:29,340
No. Go away.
You tell me nothing.
1131
01:00:29,370 --> 01:00:30,390
Please.
1132
01:00:30,430 --> 01:00:32,240
You do not
love me anymore.
1133
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:34,810
(Christian copies Cyrano)
No, not anymore.
1134
01:00:35,530 --> 01:00:37,340
I love you evermore,
1135
01:00:38,150 --> 01:00:40,050
and evermore and more.
1136
01:00:41,190 --> 01:00:42,640
Oh, a little better.
1137
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,160
Love grows and struggles
like an angry child.
1138
01:00:48,710 --> 01:00:50,620
Breaking my heart.
1139
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,070
His cradle...
1140
01:00:53,110 --> 01:00:54,630
Better still.
1141
01:00:55,230 --> 01:00:57,390
But such a babe is dangerous.
1142
01:00:57,910 --> 01:01:00,140
Why not have
smothered it newborn?
1143
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:03,290
And so I do.
1144
01:01:03,650 --> 01:01:05,290
And yet he lives.
1145
01:01:06,340 --> 01:01:08,910
I found as you sha...
you shall find
1146
01:01:10,250 --> 01:01:14,400
this newborn babe...
and infant Hercules!
1147
01:01:14,900 --> 01:01:15,430
Good.
1148
01:01:15,460 --> 01:01:16,820
Strong enough at birth
1149
01:01:17,740 --> 01:01:19,600
to strangle
those two serpents
1150
01:01:20,010 --> 01:01:20,550
doubt and
1151
01:01:20,590 --> 01:01:21,090
<i>What?</i>
1152
01:01:21,250 --> 01:01:22,600
pride!
1153
01:01:23,410 --> 01:01:24,440
Why, very good.
1154
01:01:25,330 --> 01:01:27,880
Only, tell me why
you speak so haltingly.
1155
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,580
Has your imagination
gone....lame?
1156
01:01:33,260 --> 01:01:35,130
(Cyrano)
This grows too difficult.
1157
01:01:35,530 --> 01:01:38,320
Your words tonight
hesitate, why?
1158
01:01:38,630 --> 01:01:42,970
Through the warm summer gloom,
they grope in darkness
1159
01:01:43,170 --> 01:01:44,690
toward the light of you.
1160
01:01:46,010 --> 01:01:47,860
My words are
heavy with honey,
1161
01:01:47,900 --> 01:01:49,360
like returning bees.
1162
01:01:50,190 --> 01:01:52,310
Yet they must fly so high.
1163
01:01:52,530 --> 01:01:54,140
Come nearer then.
Stand you on the bench.
1164
01:01:54,170 --> 01:01:55,000
No.
1165
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:56,190
Then I'll come down.
1166
01:01:56,230 --> 01:01:57,110
NO!
1167
01:01:57,570 --> 01:01:59,380
And why so great a no?
1168
01:02:00,490 --> 01:02:02,920
Let me enjoy the one
moment I ever...
1169
01:02:03,710 --> 01:02:07,110
My one chance
to speak to you...unseen.
1170
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:08,290
Unseen?
1171
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:09,740
Yes. Yes.
1172
01:02:10,070 --> 01:02:12,380
Night making all things
dimly beautiful
1173
01:02:12,410 --> 01:02:13,770
one veil over us both.
1174
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,040
You need no eyes
to hear my heart.
1175
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:20,410
Oh, tonight, let it seem as if
I speak for the first time.
1176
01:02:21,150 --> 01:02:22,110
For the first time?
1177
01:02:22,140 --> 01:02:23,000
Yes.
1178
01:02:23,940 --> 01:02:25,780
Your voice, even,
is not the same.
1179
01:02:25,810 --> 01:02:26,990
How should it be.
1180
01:02:27,030 --> 01:02:28,450
I have another
voice tonight.
1181
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:31,250
My own, myself,... daring!
1182
01:02:31,610 --> 01:02:32,610
Why daring?
1183
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,600
Because, what am I, what is any man
would he dare ask for you?
1184
01:02:36,630 --> 01:02:40,780
Therefore my heart has hidden behind
poetic words and tinsel phrases.
1185
01:02:41,260 --> 01:02:43,640
But are they not sweet,
those pretty phrases?
1186
01:02:43,670 --> 01:02:45,630
Not enough sweet
for you and me tonight.
1187
01:02:47,530 --> 01:02:49,240
You never spoke
to me like this.
1188
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,510
I tell you, there comes
one moment, once,
1189
01:02:51,540 --> 01:02:53,800
and heaven help those
who pass that moment by,
1190
01:02:53,830 --> 01:02:56,110
when beauty stands
looking into the soul
1191
01:02:56,150 --> 01:03:01,810
with grave, sweet eyes,
that sicken at pretty words.
1192
01:03:02,650 --> 01:03:06,260
Yes...that is love.
1193
01:03:06,290 --> 01:03:07,010
Love.
1194
01:03:07,050 --> 01:03:09,260
A love beyond breath,
beyond reason,
1195
01:03:09,290 --> 01:03:11,590
beyond love's own
power of loving.
1196
01:03:11,630 --> 01:03:14,200
Your name is like a golden bell
hung in my heart,
1197
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:18,450
and when I think of you I tremble,
and the bell swings and rings,
1198
01:03:18,610 --> 01:03:28,580
Roxane! Roxane!
Along my veins...Roxane.
1199
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,970
Yes...that is love.
1200
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,770
(Cyrano)
Yes...that is love.
1201
01:03:36,090 --> 01:03:38,920
That wind of terrible
and jealous beauty,
1202
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:44,200
that dark fire,
that soaring, blinding music.
1203
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,690
Yet, you may take my happiness
to make you happier
1204
01:03:47,730 --> 01:03:49,410
even though you
never know I gave it to you.
1205
01:03:49,940 --> 01:03:55,700
Only let me hear, sometimes, all alone,
the distant laughter of your joy.
1206
01:03:56,740 --> 01:03:58,470
Do you begin
to understand a little?
1207
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,200
Can you feel my soul there
in the darkness breathe on you?
1208
01:04:03,230 --> 01:04:06,630
Oh, only tonight,
now I dare say these things.
1209
01:04:06,790 --> 01:04:09,400
I to you, and you hear them.
1210
01:04:10,030 --> 01:04:12,650
It is my voice, mine, my own
that makes you tremble
1211
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,390
there in the green gloom,
above me, for you do tremble
1212
01:04:15,430 --> 01:04:18,110
as a blossom among the leaves,
you tremble, and I can feel
1213
01:04:18,140 --> 01:04:19,670
all the way down along
this jasmine branch
1214
01:04:19,710 --> 01:04:23,700
whether you will unhold
the passion of you trembling.
1215
01:04:24,340 --> 01:04:25,960
Yes, I do tremble.
1216
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,880
And I weep, and I love you,
and I am yours,
1217
01:04:29,910 --> 01:04:31,720
and you have made me thus.
1218
01:04:36,710 --> 01:04:38,250
I have done this to you.
1219
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,380
I myself.
1220
01:04:44,970 --> 01:04:47,240
Only let me ask
one thing more.
1221
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:48,900
I want a kiss!
1222
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:52,080
You ask me for...
1223
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:53,060
I...yes.
1224
01:04:53,100 --> 01:04:54,260
That is to say...
1225
01:04:54,780 --> 01:04:55,770
I mean...
1226
01:04:56,140 --> 01:04:57,450
You've gone too far.
1227
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,370
If she's willing, why
not make the most of it?
1228
01:04:59,410 --> 01:05:04,270
I, I ask.
I know I ask too much.
1229
01:05:05,150 --> 01:05:06,420
Only one?
1230
01:05:07,550 --> 01:05:08,630
Is that all?
1231
01:05:09,150 --> 01:05:12,210
All?
How much more than all?
1232
01:05:12,250 --> 01:05:16,030
I know I startle you,
I...I ask, I ask you to refuse.
1233
01:05:16,070 --> 01:05:17,200
Why? Why? Why?
1234
01:05:17,230 --> 01:05:18,350
Christian, be quiet.
1235
01:05:18,390 --> 01:05:19,430
What is that your say?
1236
01:05:19,470 --> 01:05:21,810
I am angry with myself,
because I know I go too far
1237
01:05:21,850 --> 01:05:26,270
and so I say to myself,
CHRISTIAN, BE QUIET!
1238
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:28,300
Watch it, someone comes.
1239
01:05:36,390 --> 01:05:39,180
Well, sir, I am looking
for the house of madame Roxane Robin.
1240
01:05:39,220 --> 01:05:43,450
This is not the house. That way.
To the right. Keep to the right.
1241
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:44,330
I thank you sir.
1242
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,880
I shall say my beads for you
to the very last bead.
1243
01:05:49,340 --> 01:05:50,680
Win me that kiss?
1244
01:05:51,370 --> 01:05:52,070
No!
1245
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:53,780
Sooner or later.
1246
01:05:59,170 --> 01:06:00,510
So that is true.
1247
01:06:01,460 --> 01:06:07,540
Sooner or later must be so, because,
she is young, and you are handsome.
1248
01:06:09,170 --> 01:06:15,240
Since it must be, I'd rather be
myself the cause, if it must be.
1249
01:06:16,990 --> 01:06:19,620
(balcony window opens)
1250
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:24,660
Are you still there?
1251
01:06:24,690 --> 01:06:25,470
(Cyrano)
Yes.
1252
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:28,740
We were speaking of...
1253
01:06:30,090 --> 01:06:32,450
A kiss.
- A kiss.
1254
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,340
And what is a kiss
when all is done?
1255
01:06:34,930 --> 01:06:37,080
A vow taken before
the shrine of memory.
1256
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,650
A rosy dot
over the "i" of loving.
1257
01:06:39,790 --> 01:06:42,950
- A secret whisper
to listen if the past.
1258
01:06:42,980 --> 01:06:43,650
Shhh.
1259
01:06:43,690 --> 01:06:46,720
A moment free to mortal
with a rush of wing from Ceden.
1260
01:06:46,750 --> 01:06:48,220
A sacrament of blossoms.
1261
01:06:48,260 --> 01:06:53,250
A new song sung by two hearts
to an old, simple tune.
1262
01:06:53,290 --> 01:06:54,430
Hush.
1263
01:06:54,460 --> 01:06:56,050
Why? What shame?
1264
01:06:58,010 --> 01:07:01,310
No.
No shame.
1265
01:07:01,610 --> 01:07:02,770
Then come.
1266
01:07:03,550 --> 01:07:05,680
Gather your sacred blossoms.
1267
01:07:07,250 --> 01:07:09,230
Your moment made immortal.
1268
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:09,860
Climb!
1269
01:07:10,660 --> 01:07:12,300
- But, climb?
- Many more!
1270
01:07:22,410 --> 01:07:23,760
Roxane.
1271
01:07:33,870 --> 01:07:34,690
(sigh)
1272
01:07:36,090 --> 01:07:39,770
Ah, Roxane.
I have won what I have wanted.
1273
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:45,410
A feast of love,
and I am faint with hunger.
1274
01:07:48,110 --> 01:07:51,040
Yet, I have something here
that is mine now,...
1275
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,380
and was not mine before.
1276
01:07:54,220 --> 01:07:56,790
I spoke the words
that won her.
1277
01:07:57,890 --> 01:08:05,890
She kisses my words.
My words...upon his lips.
1278
01:08:07,230 --> 01:08:08,650
(gate opens)
1279
01:08:13,250 --> 01:08:14,670
What, dear Father,
lost your way again?
1280
01:08:14,710 --> 01:08:16,270
But, she lives here,
Madame Robin.
1281
01:08:16,300 --> 01:08:17,830
Oh, I thought
you said, Rolen?
1282
01:08:17,860 --> 01:08:19,850
No, r..o..b..i..n, Robin.
1283
01:08:19,890 --> 01:08:21,030
Oh, Robin, I see.
1284
01:08:21,070 --> 01:08:23,090
I'm too old
to chase wild geese
1285
01:08:23,130 --> 01:08:25,080
- my feet...
- Oh, what a shame,
1286
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,920
(knocking on door)
however, I'm sure there's someone at home.
1287
01:08:29,330 --> 01:08:30,120
(door opens)
1288
01:08:30,150 --> 01:08:30,860
What is it?
1289
01:08:30,890 --> 01:08:34,570
Yeah, I'm looking for
the young lady, Madam Rolen
1290
01:08:34,610 --> 01:08:35,840
Rolen?
1291
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:37,080
Robin!
1292
01:08:37,950 --> 01:08:40,050
Madame!
A letter for you.
1293
01:08:40,590 --> 01:08:42,070
Yes, yes, I heard.
1294
01:08:42,970 --> 01:08:43,650
Cyrano.
1295
01:08:43,690 --> 01:08:46,080
Uh, passing by cousin,
I saw this light.
1296
01:08:46,700 --> 01:08:50,330
Uh, some matter
profitable to the soul.
1297
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:52,550
A very noble lord gave it to me.
1298
01:08:52,750 --> 01:08:53,640
(Christian)
What is it?
1299
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,100
<i>My regiment has been
ordered to the front. </i>
1300
01:08:57,130 --> 01:08:59,490
<i>I cannot allow you
to delay any longer.</i>
1301
01:08:59,530 --> 01:09:01,820
<i>This simple old monk,
who knows nothing,</i>
1302
01:09:01,850 --> 01:09:04,190
<i>will marry us tonight.
My love, Antoine de Guiche.</i>
1303
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,110
(Roxane changes everything)
1304
01:09:07,150 --> 01:09:08,880
Father, this letter
concerns you.
1305
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,930
"Madame, the Cardinal
will have his way,
1306
01:09:13,970 --> 01:09:15,530
"although against your will.
1307
01:09:15,710 --> 01:09:18,150
"That is why I am
sending this to you,
1308
01:09:18,180 --> 01:09:20,470
"by a most holy man.
1309
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,160
"Intelligent, discreet.
1310
01:09:23,580 --> 01:09:26,660
"You will communicate
to him our order to perform
1311
01:09:26,900 --> 01:09:31,160
"here and at once
the rite of holy matrimony.
1312
01:09:32,570 --> 01:09:35,910
"You and Christian will be
married privately in your house.
1313
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,760
"Be resigned to the
Cardinal's command,
1314
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:41,930
"who sends herewith
his blessings.
1315
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,060
"Your very humble,
and etcetera..."
1316
01:09:44,940 --> 01:09:46,750
Oh, this is terrible.
1317
01:09:48,220 --> 01:09:49,850
Oh, you're to be
the, uh...
1318
01:09:49,890 --> 01:09:51,490
I am to be the bridegroom.
1319
01:09:53,950 --> 01:09:56,230
Uh, look here.
A postscript.
1320
01:09:56,780 --> 01:10:02,320
"Give to the monastery,
in my name 120 pieces of gold."
1321
01:10:02,350 --> 01:10:04,070
One hundred and twenty...
1322
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,530
Oh, a worthy lord.
A very worthy lord.
1323
01:10:09,470 --> 01:10:12,030
Daughter, resign yourself.
1324
01:10:12,070 --> 01:10:14,080
I am resigned.
1325
01:10:22,350 --> 01:10:24,500
The Guiche is coming, too.
Don't let him enter.
1326
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:25,730
Not let him enter?
1327
01:10:25,770 --> 01:10:27,790
Until we're married, please.
1328
01:10:28,610 --> 01:10:30,340
(door slams shut)
1329
01:10:44,330 --> 01:10:45,250
(Count)
What is that?
1330
01:10:45,340 --> 01:10:46,330
(Cyrano)
Me?
1331
01:10:46,370 --> 01:10:48,360
- Why, where did you come from?
- The moon.
1332
01:10:48,390 --> 01:10:49,330
- You...
- From the moon.
1333
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:50,690
I have just returned
from the moon.
1334
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:52,420
- The fellow's mad!
-Like a bomb, I tell you,
1335
01:10:52,460 --> 01:10:54,130
- I fell from the moon!
- Your feet must...
1336
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:55,450
- I say THE MOON!
1337
01:10:55,480 --> 01:10:57,580
- Very well, if you say so.
- Thank you.
1338
01:10:57,610 --> 01:10:58,610
- Raving mad.
1339
01:11:00,660 --> 01:11:02,850
- Where am I?
- My dear sir!
1340
01:11:02,890 --> 01:11:04,080
- What place is this?
What country?
1341
01:11:04,110 --> 01:11:06,170
- Please, let me pass.
- This face, good heavens!
1342
01:11:06,210 --> 01:11:08,710
Maul, a robber.
Where am I?
1343
01:11:08,750 --> 01:11:12,830
- A lady is waiting for me.
- Oh, this is Paris, huh?
1344
01:11:12,870 --> 01:11:13,620
You fool!
1345
01:11:13,650 --> 01:11:14,800
Dear old Paris.
1346
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,750
Excuse my appearance.
I arrived by the last thunderbolt.
1347
01:11:17,790 --> 01:11:19,970
A trifled singed
as I passed through the ether.
1348
01:11:20,470 --> 01:11:21,320
Monsieur!
1349
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:22,080
Sir?
1350
01:11:22,130 --> 01:11:23,750
That will do, now. I wish...
1351
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,600
I know, you wish to look for
my own list of nature for moons
1352
01:11:25,630 --> 01:11:27,820
and happiness and character
of it's surface, if any.
1353
01:11:27,850 --> 01:11:29,060
I desire no such thing, I...
1354
01:11:29,100 --> 01:11:30,060
Of course not.
1355
01:11:32,940 --> 01:11:34,330
You wish to know
by what mysterious
1356
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:35,570
means I reached the moon.
1357
01:11:35,610 --> 01:11:37,870
Well, a very secret affair of state,
1358
01:11:37,900 --> 01:11:41,770
but confidentially
a new invention of my own.
1359
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:43,190
Drunk, two ways.
Well a man..
1360
01:11:43,230 --> 01:11:46,050
Oh, no. In truth I have
my choice of several inventions.
1361
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:46,600
Uh?
1362
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:50,850
Yes, several ways
to violate the virgin sky.
1363
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:52,210
Several?
1364
01:11:52,250 --> 01:11:53,510
Several.
1365
01:11:53,540 --> 01:11:57,520
As, for instance, smoke
having a natural tendency to rise,
1366
01:11:57,550 --> 01:12:02,050
blow in a globe
enough to raise me.
1367
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:03,300
Yes, that makes one.
1368
01:12:03,330 --> 01:12:06,780
Again, I might construct a rocket
in the shape of a HUGE locust
1369
01:12:06,820 --> 01:12:10,810
driven by impulses up within
a saltpeter from the rear
1370
01:12:10,850 --> 01:12:14,050
and thus speed upwards,
like, thus!
1371
01:12:14,260 --> 01:12:15,260
Yes, another?
1372
01:12:15,290 --> 01:12:18,950
Finally, seated on an iron plate,
hurl a magnet into the air.
1373
01:12:18,980 --> 01:12:21,810
The iron follows.
I catch the magnet.
1374
01:12:21,850 --> 01:12:25,330
Throw it again, and
so proceed indefinitely.
1375
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,460
Excellent, and
which did you adopt?
1376
01:12:31,450 --> 01:12:32,370
Why none of them.
1377
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:34,350
Yet another.
1378
01:12:34,390 --> 01:12:35,740
Which was...?
1379
01:12:46,810 --> 01:12:47,500
Guess.
1380
01:12:47,860 --> 01:12:49,370
Ahhh, I can't!
1381
01:12:50,090 --> 01:12:51,100
Try.
1382
01:12:52,340 --> 01:12:53,980
Interesting idiot, this.
1383
01:13:05,350 --> 01:13:06,540
Have you guessed it yet?
1384
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:07,960
Why, no, what is it?
1385
01:13:13,780 --> 01:13:15,870
Alas, you will never know,
but no matter.
1386
01:13:15,910 --> 01:13:18,470
You are free and
they are bound in wedlock.
1387
01:13:18,510 --> 01:13:21,010
I drunk that voice,
and that nose, Cyrano!
1388
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:23,710
Cyrano. This very moment
they have exchanged vows.
1389
01:13:23,750 --> 01:13:24,460
Who?
1390
01:13:29,820 --> 01:13:31,530
My sincere compliments.
1391
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,900
You, also, my traveler in space.
1392
01:13:34,940 --> 01:13:37,800
My Lord, the heads of Capathieu
and Joyce have joined together.
1393
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:38,750
Quite so!
1394
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:44,160
Madame, kindly bid
your... husband farewell.
1395
01:13:44,190 --> 01:13:46,670
Your regiment leaves tonight, sir.
Report at once!
1396
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:49,320
But, the Cadets are not called.
1397
01:13:49,350 --> 01:13:51,850
They are, indeed, and
under my command.
1398
01:13:52,710 --> 01:13:55,080
Out there we may
have an accounting.
1399
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:58,130
Somehow, that news
fails to disquiet me.
1400
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,190
Here are the orders.
Baron, deliver this.
1401
01:14:02,500 --> 01:14:03,650
Christian!
1402
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,660
The bridal night
is not so near.
1403
01:14:10,090 --> 01:14:13,400
Somehow that news
fails to disquiet me.
1404
01:14:17,710 --> 01:14:19,340
Baron, you have your orders.
1405
01:14:36,270 --> 01:14:37,530
Farewell, Roxane.
1406
01:14:38,290 --> 01:14:40,490
Take care of him, for me.
Promise me never to let him
1407
01:14:40,530 --> 01:14:41,400
do anything dangerous.
1408
01:14:41,430 --> 01:14:42,890
I will do my best.
I cannot promise.
1409
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:44,970
I thought you brave always.
Make him be careful.
1410
01:14:45,010 --> 01:14:46,070
Yes, yes, I'll try.
1411
01:14:46,110 --> 01:14:47,840
Be sure to keep him
warm and dry!
1412
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:49,150
Yes, if possible.
1413
01:14:49,190 --> 01:14:51,820
Have him write to me
every single day!
1414
01:14:51,860 --> 01:14:54,090
That, I promise you.
1415
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,970
(the war with Spain)
1416
01:15:40,820 --> 01:15:41,540
Halt!
1417
01:16:03,370 --> 01:16:03,920
Uh!
1418
01:16:13,930 --> 01:16:18,590
(Madame Baroness de Neuvillette,
Rue Marais No. 12, Paris)
1419
01:16:46,610 --> 01:16:48,170
The situation
is simple, gentlemen.
1420
01:16:48,420 --> 01:16:53,340
We have besieged Arras.
The Prince of Spain has besieged us.
1421
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,960
Consequently, we
are surrounded.
1422
01:16:56,050 --> 01:16:58,920
- A fine war. Where
the besiegers are besieged
1423
01:16:58,950 --> 01:17:00,020
and starve to death.
1424
01:17:00,060 --> 01:17:01,990
Yes, but the Marshal has
devised a brilliant plan
1425
01:17:02,030 --> 01:17:03,480
for bringing in food
this very night.
1426
01:17:03,510 --> 01:17:04,460
Now, see here.
1427
01:17:04,500 --> 01:17:06,240
Spare us the details, Colonel.
1428
01:17:06,270 --> 01:17:08,820
Merely inform us
when the food arrives.
1429
01:17:08,860 --> 01:17:11,380
True, we are hungry.
But why blame me?
1430
01:17:11,700 --> 01:17:13,320
I'm only your Colonel.
1431
01:17:14,700 --> 01:17:16,910
Oh, yes, I know
you disprove of me.
1432
01:17:17,020 --> 01:17:18,940
Call me courtier, politician.
1433
01:17:19,430 --> 01:17:22,080
Well, I can afford you little hates.
1434
01:17:22,110 --> 01:17:24,730
My conduct under fire
is well known.
1435
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,170
It was only yesterday
I repelled a Spanish attack.
1436
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,070
Pouring my men down
like an avalanche.
1437
01:17:29,250 --> 01:17:30,710
I, myself lead the charge.
1438
01:17:30,900 --> 01:17:33,330
- And your white scarf?
(through a cannon barrel)
1439
01:17:33,370 --> 01:17:34,130
Cyrano!
1440
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:39,140
And your white scarf?
1441
01:17:39,150 --> 01:17:40,480
Eh, you heard that episode?
1442
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:44,110
Yes, I was so far in advance
I was in danger of being captured.
1443
01:17:44,180 --> 01:17:46,570
But I thought quickly,
took off and flung away
1444
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,290
the scarf that marked
my military rank.
1445
01:17:48,420 --> 01:17:51,150
And so being inconspicuous
escaped among my own force,
1446
01:17:51,410 --> 01:17:54,250
rallied them, returned,
and won the day.
1447
01:17:54,290 --> 01:17:55,500
What do you say to that?
1448
01:17:55,540 --> 01:17:58,550
Still, enough that is not likely
to resign the privilege of being a target.
1449
01:17:58,580 --> 01:18:01,690
How pleasant for you
that you are denied that privilege.
1450
01:18:01,730 --> 01:18:03,650
Pleasant?
Lend me your scarf.
1451
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:05,570
With your permission I shall
lead the first charge tonight
1452
01:18:05,610 --> 01:18:06,890
wearing it over my shoulder.
1453
01:18:06,930 --> 01:18:07,720
What bluster.
1454
01:18:07,750 --> 01:18:09,630
You're safe making that offer,
and you know it.
1455
01:18:09,670 --> 01:18:12,620
My scarf lies on the
river bank between the lines.
1456
01:18:12,650 --> 01:18:15,560
A spot swept by artillery.
Impossible to reach alive.
1457
01:18:15,700 --> 01:18:16,700
Yes.
1458
01:18:16,730 --> 01:18:20,500
(displays the Colonel's scarf)
1459
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:22,410
Here.
1460
01:18:22,580 --> 01:18:24,590
(laughter)
1461
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:26,500
Thank you.
1462
01:18:28,180 --> 01:18:31,000
This bit of white is
what I need to make a signal.
1463
01:18:31,820 --> 01:18:33,360
I was hesitating.
1464
01:18:33,940 --> 01:18:35,720
You have decided me.
1465
01:18:41,370 --> 01:18:43,010
- Stand or I'll fire!
- Hold you fire.
1466
01:18:43,050 --> 01:18:44,650
There's a man down
there running away.
1467
01:18:44,690 --> 01:18:46,700
Yes, a Spaniard.
1468
01:18:47,440 --> 01:18:50,310
But very useful as a spy
to both sides.
1469
01:18:51,270 --> 01:18:52,480
As I was about
to tell you.
1470
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,100
The Marshal has withdrawn
more than half our forces here.
1471
01:18:55,140 --> 01:18:57,190
Fortunately, the Spaniards
do not know that.
1472
01:18:57,230 --> 01:19:00,470
Oh, yes, they do now,
and they will attack tonight.
1473
01:19:00,510 --> 01:19:02,240
At this point.
1474
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:04,520
Your revenge, eh?
1475
01:19:04,550 --> 01:19:06,670
I make not great
pretense in loving you.
1476
01:19:06,770 --> 01:19:10,170
But since you gentlemen
esteem yourselves invincible,
1477
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,710
the bravest of the brave,
and all that.
1478
01:19:12,750 --> 01:19:14,120
Why need we be personal.
1479
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,710
The Marshal needs
a diversion, and I serve him
1480
01:19:16,740 --> 01:19:19,040
in choosing as I chose.
1481
01:19:19,210 --> 01:19:21,440
As you can see, Captain,
the great thing is to gain time.
1482
01:19:21,470 --> 01:19:23,070
To hold until the Marshal returns.
1483
01:19:23,180 --> 01:19:24,980
- And to gain time?
1484
01:19:25,490 --> 01:19:31,370
You will all be so kind
as to lay down your lives.
1485
01:19:39,610 --> 01:19:40,700
Christian?
1486
01:19:40,740 --> 01:19:41,400
Yes.
1487
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:46,130
Roxane?
1488
01:19:46,940 --> 01:19:49,260
I should like to say
farewell to her
1489
01:19:49,290 --> 01:19:51,580
with my whole
heart for her to keep.
1490
01:19:53,630 --> 01:19:55,610
I have taken the liberty of...
1491
01:19:58,580 --> 01:20:03,760
(the first letter
Christian is aware of)
1492
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:05,110
But, wait.
1493
01:20:07,270 --> 01:20:08,180
This little spot.
1494
01:20:08,620 --> 01:20:09,360
Spot?
1495
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:10,100
Yes.
1496
01:20:10,470 --> 01:20:11,550
A tear.
1497
01:20:13,500 --> 01:20:14,210
Is nothing.
1498
01:20:14,250 --> 01:20:16,860
A poet while he writes
is like a lover in his lady's arms,
1499
01:20:16,890 --> 01:20:19,060
believing his imagination,
everything seems real.
1500
01:20:19,090 --> 01:20:20,710
There's half the charm
of writing.
1501
01:20:21,230 --> 01:20:24,000
Now, I made this letter
so pathetic, that,
1502
01:20:24,030 --> 01:20:27,290
while I was writing it,
I wept.
1503
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:28,110
You wept?
1504
01:20:28,650 --> 01:20:31,590
Why, yes, because
it is a little thing to die,
1505
01:20:32,500 --> 01:20:36,710
but not to see her,...
that is terrible.
1506
01:20:37,700 --> 01:20:41,890
I shall never...,
you will never...
1507
01:20:42,480 --> 01:20:43,690
Give me that.
1508
01:20:45,190 --> 01:20:48,500
- Halt. Who goes there.
- On the service of the King.
1509
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:01,330
- The King!
- Fall in...
1510
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:11,620
Good evening.
1511
01:21:11,650 --> 01:21:13,540
On the King's service, you?
1512
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:25,850
- Gentlemen,...
- What are you doing here?
1513
01:21:25,890 --> 01:21:28,300
- We heard rumors at home
you were hungry,
1514
01:21:28,340 --> 01:21:29,810
- so we came prepared.
1515
01:21:29,850 --> 01:21:34,500
The Spaniards adored the fare,
but they missed the fowl!
1516
01:21:34,530 --> 01:21:37,560
(soldiers clamor for food)
1517
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:47,020
But why did you come here
into this, this danger?
1518
01:21:47,060 --> 01:21:49,420
They said in Paris
there was no fighting.
1519
01:21:50,450 --> 01:21:53,620
Besides, it was your own fault.
1520
01:22:01,410 --> 01:22:03,770
Think of the
letters you have written me.
1521
01:22:04,050 --> 01:22:06,510
How many times!
Every day!
1522
01:22:06,550 --> 01:22:07,680
Every day?
1523
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:08,820
Of course.
1524
01:22:08,980 --> 01:22:11,560
And each one
more wonderful than the last.
1525
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:14,820
All this, for a few absurd love letters.
1526
01:22:14,860 --> 01:22:18,050
Hush. Absurd?
Your letters...no, never.
1527
01:22:19,030 --> 01:22:22,730
Every one was like hearing your voice
that night in the dark. Remember?
1528
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:26,590
Like your arms around me.
I read them over and over.
1529
01:22:26,630 --> 01:22:30,420
Every page was like
a petal fallen from you soul.
1530
01:22:30,460 --> 01:22:33,350
Like the light
and the fire of a great love.
1531
01:22:33,390 --> 01:22:36,020
- Sweet and strong and true.
- Sweet.
1532
01:22:36,180 --> 01:22:37,280
Strong.
1533
01:22:37,590 --> 01:22:38,490
True?
1534
01:22:41,570 --> 01:22:43,090
Oh, my Christian.
1535
01:22:43,690 --> 01:22:46,420
I came here to ask forgiveness.
1536
01:22:47,660 --> 01:22:49,380
It is time to be forgiven.
1537
01:22:49,860 --> 01:22:51,950
Now, when we
may die so soon.
1538
01:22:53,780 --> 01:22:55,380
Forgive me for being
light and vain
1539
01:22:55,410 --> 01:22:57,570
and loving you only
because you were handsome.
1540
01:22:57,600 --> 01:22:59,230
- For now...
- Now?
1541
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:01,940
I love you for yourself.
1542
01:23:02,350 --> 01:23:04,090
For what you are.
1543
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:05,340
Roxane.
1544
01:23:05,910 --> 01:23:09,000
How you must have suffered.
For you saw how frivolous I was.
1545
01:23:09,030 --> 01:23:11,300
And to be loved
for the mere costume,
1546
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,090
for the poor, casual
body you went about in.
1547
01:23:14,750 --> 01:23:17,620
To a soul like yours,
that must have been torture.
1548
01:23:17,650 --> 01:23:18,390
No.
1549
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:23,140
I understand.
1550
01:23:23,790 --> 01:23:25,930
You cannot perfectly
believe in me,
1551
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:27,530
a...a love like this...
1552
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:29,090
I want no love like this.
1553
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,020
I want love only for...
1554
01:23:31,050 --> 01:23:33,090
Only for what every
woman sees in you.
1555
01:23:33,700 --> 01:23:35,030
I can to better than that.
1556
01:23:35,060 --> 01:23:37,240
No, it...it was best before.
1557
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,090
You do not
altogether know me.
1558
01:23:40,540 --> 01:23:42,260
I was a child.
1559
01:23:42,350 --> 01:23:43,650
I'm a woman now.
1560
01:23:44,250 --> 01:23:46,720
- If...if you were less handsome,
- No.
1561
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:50,130
unattractive, ugly even,
I should love you, still.
1562
01:23:50,770 --> 01:23:51,900
Do you mean that?
1563
01:23:52,510 --> 01:23:53,750
I do mean that.
1564
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:55,020
Ugly?
1565
01:23:55,100 --> 01:23:56,200
Even then.
1566
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:58,050
Now, are you happy?
1567
01:24:03,470 --> 01:24:04,650
Yes.
1568
01:24:04,690 --> 01:24:05,500
What is it?
1569
01:24:06,190 --> 01:24:08,690
Nothing, only, Cyrano...
1570
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:10,830
Cyrano.
1571
01:24:12,050 --> 01:24:14,090
he has something
to tell you.
1572
01:24:16,180 --> 01:24:17,200
Where are you going?
1573
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:20,690
I...will...return...in a moment.
1574
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:30,050
Cyrano.
1575
01:24:30,650 --> 01:24:32,480
Your wife, sir,
she goes with me?
1576
01:24:32,510 --> 01:24:33,340
No, sir, she remains.
1577
01:24:33,380 --> 01:24:34,670
There is still time
for her to escape.
1578
01:24:34,710 --> 01:24:35,640
She stays!
1579
01:24:36,030 --> 01:24:36,790
Very well.
1580
01:24:36,820 --> 01:24:38,950
Someone give me a musket.
I stay here also.
1581
01:24:39,420 --> 01:24:40,640
Sir, you show courage.
1582
01:24:40,670 --> 01:24:42,890
What, shall I run away,
and leave a woman?
1583
01:24:43,450 --> 01:24:45,320
Colonel, my compliments, sir.
1584
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:47,810
What of Roxane?
1585
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:48,470
Wait.
1586
01:24:49,350 --> 01:24:50,860
Well, what is it?
You look so...
1587
01:24:52,830 --> 01:24:54,580
She does not love me.
1588
01:24:54,990 --> 01:24:57,310
- You think not?
- She loves you.
1589
01:24:57,340 --> 01:24:59,630
- No.
- She loves only my soul.
1590
01:24:59,660 --> 01:25:00,370
- No.
- Yes!
1591
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:03,140
That means you.
And you love her.
1592
01:25:03,170 --> 01:25:05,300
- I?
- I see. I know.
1593
01:25:05,340 --> 01:25:08,310
You wrote her,
everyday, every day!
1594
01:25:08,820 --> 01:25:10,030
- Perfectly simple.
- Simple?
1595
01:25:10,060 --> 01:25:11,700
For a month,
we've been blockaded here.
1596
01:25:11,740 --> 01:25:13,340
How did you send
all those letters?
1597
01:25:13,370 --> 01:25:14,500
Before daylight
I managed...
1598
01:25:14,530 --> 01:25:16,070
To face death
everyday.
1599
01:25:16,820 --> 01:25:17,950
You love her.
1600
01:25:19,020 --> 01:25:20,190
Yes.
1601
01:25:26,950 --> 01:25:27,890
Tell her so.
1602
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:29,250
- No.
- Why not?
1603
01:25:29,350 --> 01:25:32,290
Why?
Look at me.
1604
01:25:32,590 --> 01:25:35,420
She would love me
if I were ugly.
1605
01:25:35,990 --> 01:25:38,820
- She said that?
- Yes. Now, go to her.
1606
01:25:40,090 --> 01:25:42,410
Nonsense. Do not
believe any such madness.
1607
01:25:42,440 --> 01:25:44,730
Go back to her.
You never will be ugly.
1608
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:45,810
Go!
It is you she loves.
1609
01:25:45,850 --> 01:25:46,870
That is what
we shall see.
1610
01:25:46,900 --> 01:25:47,840
No, no!
1611
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:49,480
- Let her chose between us.
- No.
1612
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:51,510
- Tell her everything.
- Why do you torture me?
1613
01:25:51,550 --> 01:25:54,700
Shall I ruin your happiness,
because I was born with a pretty face?
1614
01:25:54,740 --> 01:25:57,210
Am I to ruin yours,
because I happen to have power
1615
01:25:57,250 --> 01:25:58,750
to say what you perhaps feel?
1616
01:25:58,780 --> 01:26:00,910
- Tell her!
- Don't drive me too far!
1617
01:26:00,950 --> 01:26:03,210
- I'm tired of being my own rival.
- Hard to know.
1618
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:05,470
My secret marriage, that
can be annulled, I expect.
1619
01:26:05,500 --> 01:26:07,790
I want her love
for the poor fool than I am,
1620
01:26:07,860 --> 01:26:09,020
or not at all.
1621
01:26:09,390 --> 01:26:12,090
Oh, I'm going through with this.
I'll know one way or the other.
1622
01:26:12,870 --> 01:26:15,280
Now, go!....Tell her.
1623
01:26:15,480 --> 01:26:16,790
Let her chose one of us.
1624
01:26:17,570 --> 01:26:18,780
It will be you.
1625
01:26:19,670 --> 01:26:21,330
I hope so.
1626
01:26:33,070 --> 01:26:33,820
- Captain!
1627
01:26:36,570 --> 01:26:38,100
The Spanish fires are going out.
1628
01:26:41,030 --> 01:26:42,160
It begins.
1629
01:26:42,220 --> 01:26:44,140
I need a scout. Where's Cyrano.
1630
01:26:44,490 --> 01:26:45,280
Captain.
1631
01:26:45,850 --> 01:26:46,740
Let me go.
1632
01:26:46,780 --> 01:26:49,490
No, my boy, Cyrano knows
the terrain. He knows their lines.
1633
01:26:49,530 --> 01:26:51,550
So do I.
Please, allow me.
1634
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:56,070
Very well.
We must know from which
1635
01:26:56,110 --> 01:26:58,810
direction the advance comes.
Their weight and numbers.
1636
01:26:58,840 --> 01:26:59,560
I understand.
1637
01:27:11,940 --> 01:27:12,780
Roxane.
1638
01:27:13,430 --> 01:27:14,450
Cyrano.
1639
01:27:14,480 --> 01:27:15,930
Christian thinks...
1640
01:27:17,470 --> 01:27:19,190
Christian thinks you
ought to know that...
1641
01:27:19,220 --> 01:27:20,240
But I do know.
1642
01:27:20,770 --> 01:27:22,850
He still doubts what I
just told him, just now.
1643
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:23,860
I saw that.
1644
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:27,560
Yes, but,...was it true,
what you told him just now?
1645
01:27:27,590 --> 01:27:28,900
It was true.
1646
01:27:28,990 --> 01:27:32,270
I said that I should love him,
even if he were....
1647
01:27:33,020 --> 01:27:34,580
The word comes
hard before me?
1648
01:27:37,420 --> 01:27:38,860
Say it, I shall
not be hurt.
1649
01:27:39,370 --> 01:27:40,620
Ugly?
1650
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:42,130
Even, then
I should love him.
1651
01:27:43,500 --> 01:27:44,690
Disfigured.
1652
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:45,870
Or disfigured.
1653
01:27:46,480 --> 01:27:49,620
Even....grotesque.
1654
01:27:49,650 --> 01:27:51,350
How could he
every be grotesque,
1655
01:27:51,810 --> 01:27:52,950
ever to me?
1656
01:27:52,990 --> 01:27:55,580
But, you could love him so,
as much as?
1657
01:27:55,610 --> 01:27:56,790
Yes, and more.
1658
01:27:57,320 --> 01:27:58,320
Roxane...
1659
01:27:58,350 --> 01:27:59,300
(gunshot)
1660
01:27:59,340 --> 01:28:00,260
What is it?
1661
01:28:01,550 --> 01:28:02,600
Are they fighting?
1662
01:28:05,250 --> 01:28:06,510
What is happening?
1663
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:08,010
- The Spaniards advance,
1664
01:28:08,940 --> 01:28:09,930
but there is time.
1665
01:28:10,480 --> 01:28:12,370
- Where is Christian?
- At the parapet.
1666
01:28:12,820 --> 01:28:13,890
Oh, of course.
1667
01:28:14,930 --> 01:28:16,750
What is it
that you wish to tell me?
1668
01:28:16,780 --> 01:28:18,140
Roxane,...
1669
01:28:18,810 --> 01:28:21,690
believe me this is difficult,
and for once I lack words.
1670
01:28:24,690 --> 01:28:26,330
Christian asked me to...
1671
01:28:26,440 --> 01:28:27,850
He told me...
1672
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:38,220
Christian!
1673
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:42,970
To your places, gentlemen.
1674
01:28:43,970 --> 01:28:45,130
Is he dead?
1675
01:28:45,170 --> 01:28:46,260
No, but dying.
1676
01:28:46,300 --> 01:28:47,660
I will not let him!
1677
01:28:51,870 --> 01:28:54,530
Cyrano...did you?
1678
01:28:54,570 --> 01:28:56,610
Yes, my friend.
I have told her.
1679
01:28:58,350 --> 01:28:59,450
She loves you.
1680
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:02,190
Roxane.
1681
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:03,570
Yes, my darling.
1682
01:29:06,020 --> 01:29:07,320
Christian!
1683
01:29:08,170 --> 01:29:09,370
He is not dead?
1684
01:29:10,930 --> 01:29:11,830
Yes.
1685
01:29:12,310 --> 01:29:13,640
(gasp)
1686
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:22,890
Time you must go, now.
1687
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:25,860
Really, he is dead.
1688
01:29:25,890 --> 01:29:27,740
No one else
knew him but you.
1689
01:29:28,250 --> 01:29:29,630
Was he not a hero?
1690
01:29:29,670 --> 01:29:30,700
Yes, Roxane.
1691
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:33,340
A heart deeper
than we knew.
1692
01:29:33,380 --> 01:29:34,930
Yes, Roxane.
1693
01:29:35,010 --> 01:29:39,310
A poet.
A soul magnificently tender.
1694
01:29:41,750 --> 01:29:43,660
Yes, Roxane.
1695
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:46,740
But he is dead now.
1696
01:29:48,390 --> 01:29:50,030
(collapses sobbing)
1697
01:29:50,070 --> 01:29:51,230
Why, so am I.
1698
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:55,060
For I am dead
and my love mourns for me
1699
01:29:55,100 --> 01:29:56,550
and does not know.
1700
01:29:58,190 --> 01:29:59,530
Will never know.
1701
01:29:59,570 --> 01:30:00,990
(rapid gunfire)
1702
01:30:01,030 --> 01:30:02,410
(bugle calls)
1703
01:30:03,030 --> 01:30:04,030
Take her away quickly.
1704
01:30:05,670 --> 01:30:06,500
Wait.
1705
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:09,220
A letter over his heart.
1706
01:30:11,490 --> 01:30:12,850
(sobbing)
1707
01:30:16,740 --> 01:30:18,460
I have two deaths
to avenge, now,
1708
01:30:19,090 --> 01:30:22,670
Christian's...and my own.
1709
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:42,210
(fighting becomes intense)
1710
01:30:43,330 --> 01:30:46,820
(the Spanish army advances)
1711
01:30:49,450 --> 01:30:50,280
Fire!
1712
01:31:00,270 --> 01:31:02,810
Surrender or you die!
1713
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:51,720
(de Guiche)
Look! The signal!
1714
01:32:59,940 --> 01:33:00,940
Ah!
1715
01:33:07,070 --> 01:33:09,610
We fought. We died.
We fought again.
1716
01:33:09,750 --> 01:33:12,760
Who are these men who are
so fond of death, one Spaniard cried.
1717
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:14,440
On and on, they came.
1718
01:33:14,570 --> 01:33:17,210
Then, when all seemed lost,
we heard the trumpets
1719
01:33:17,250 --> 01:33:19,850
of our returning troops.
The battle was ours!
1720
01:33:20,690 --> 01:33:24,050
Ah, you have been fortunate,
Ms. de Bergerac, you have lived!
1721
01:33:24,090 --> 01:33:28,870
While we, we waste our youth.
There is no war and not hope for any.
1722
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:30,880
No hope for any?
1723
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:34,220
My fellow, I just realize,
we are both fools.
1724
01:33:34,630 --> 01:33:37,550
But mine is the greater folly,
for I am an older fool.
1725
01:33:38,170 --> 01:33:42,320
What is more......
Everything I told you was a lie.
1726
01:33:47,550 --> 01:33:49,680
Another satire
for the Gazette?
1727
01:33:49,710 --> 01:33:50,410
Yes.
1728
01:33:50,820 --> 01:33:53,480
Another glove flung
in the face of power?
1729
01:33:53,650 --> 01:33:55,400
Oh, why do you
do it, Cyrano?
1730
01:33:55,430 --> 01:33:57,860
- Why do you attack...
- Stupidity?
1731
01:33:57,880 --> 01:34:01,180
Deceit? Corruption?
I'm too old to change.
1732
01:34:01,370 --> 01:34:03,980
I'm an old dog
with nothing left but his teeth.
1733
01:34:04,010 --> 01:34:06,580
Ah, but teeth can be pulled.
That can be painful.
1734
01:34:10,440 --> 01:34:14,580
That insolent wretch.
That scoundrel de Bergerac.
1735
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:17,180
This time he's gone too far.
I swear it.
1736
01:34:17,210 --> 01:34:18,790
He's signed his death warrant.
1737
01:34:19,950 --> 01:34:21,730
And who will deliver it?
1738
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:25,040
His sword is still very
powerful, my friend.
1739
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:27,230
There are may ways
a man can die.
1740
01:34:27,990 --> 01:34:29,550
Who knows?
1741
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:31,430
He may meet
with an accident.
1742
01:34:32,550 --> 01:34:33,570
Soon.
1743
01:34:35,100 --> 01:34:38,710
(church chimes)
1744
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:46,060
But, uh, tell me, Madame.
1745
01:34:46,180 --> 01:34:50,830
How long will you continue
to remain here, forever in mourning?
1746
01:34:51,670 --> 01:34:52,570
Forever.
1747
01:34:53,060 --> 01:34:55,080
Was Christian all that?
1748
01:34:55,770 --> 01:34:57,400
If you knew him
you would not ask.
1749
01:34:57,950 --> 01:35:00,150
His last letter
is still in my heart.
1750
01:35:00,820 --> 01:35:04,770
And, uh, Cyrano?
Do you see him often?
1751
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:09,240
Every week. My old friend
takes the place of my Gazette.
1752
01:35:09,620 --> 01:35:11,320
He brings me all the news.
1753
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:14,940
Every Saturday under
that tree out there.
1754
01:35:14,980 --> 01:35:17,070
I wait for him embroidering.
1755
01:35:17,430 --> 01:35:20,240
The hour strikes.
I need not turn to look.
1756
01:35:20,570 --> 01:35:24,070
At the last stroke,
I hear his cane tapping the walk.
1757
01:35:24,100 --> 01:35:26,430
His satires have made
him many enemies.
1758
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:29,740
But, they still fear
that sword of his.
1759
01:35:30,330 --> 01:35:32,130
No one dare touch him.
1760
01:35:32,510 --> 01:35:33,670
Hm, that may be so.
1761
01:35:35,620 --> 01:35:38,160
It is not violence
I fear for him,
1762
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:42,560
but solitude, poverty.
Old gray Decembers
1763
01:35:42,590 --> 01:35:45,350
stealing on wolf's feet
into his darkened room.
1764
01:35:46,010 --> 01:35:48,230
It seems to me he's
worn the same old coat
1765
01:35:48,260 --> 01:35:49,610
for many months, now.
1766
01:35:49,650 --> 01:35:51,740
Eh, that is nothing
strange in this world.
1767
01:35:51,780 --> 01:35:53,820
You need not pity
him overmuch.
1768
01:35:53,860 --> 01:35:56,930
He lives his life,
his own life his own way,
1769
01:35:56,970 --> 01:36:00,300
thought, word and deed free.
1770
01:36:00,450 --> 01:36:01,610
My Lord Duke.
1771
01:36:01,750 --> 01:36:05,860
Oh, yes, I know.
I have all. He has nothing.
1772
01:36:06,370 --> 01:36:12,170
Nevertheless, today,
I should be proud to shake his hand.
1773
01:36:12,350 --> 01:36:14,000
Ah, well, adieu.
1774
01:36:14,670 --> 01:36:16,300
Will I ever see you again?
1775
01:36:16,340 --> 01:36:17,970
Come whenever you like.
1776
01:36:18,010 --> 01:36:19,610
Then, you have forgiven me.
1777
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:21,680
I am here.
1778
01:36:22,950 --> 01:36:25,380
Do you know?
When a man wins
1779
01:36:25,420 --> 01:36:29,750
everything in this world,
when he succeeds too much,
1780
01:36:29,790 --> 01:36:34,190
he feels, somehow,
a thousand small displeasures
1781
01:36:34,230 --> 01:36:38,560
with himself, whose whole sum
is not quite remorse
1782
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:45,570
but rather a sort of vague
disgust, dry illusions, pained regrets.
1783
01:36:45,870 --> 01:36:48,730
Yes, now and then,
I envy your Cyrano.
1784
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:50,860
The sentiment
does you honor.
1785
01:36:50,890 --> 01:36:52,250
(chuckling)
1786
01:36:59,350 --> 01:37:04,280
Madame, I must tell you,
it is true that no one has yet
1787
01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:06,490
dared to attack
your friend Cyrano.
1788
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:11,380
Nevertheless, at the theater
last night, I heard some things.
1789
01:37:12,260 --> 01:37:13,720
Keep him at home all you can.
1790
01:37:14,090 --> 01:37:17,330
Tomorrow when you see him,
tell him to be careful.
1791
01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:19,130
I thank you.
1792
01:37:32,050 --> 01:37:33,140
(Cyrano)
Good night, Ragueneau.
1793
01:37:33,180 --> 01:37:35,120
(Ragueneau)
Cyrano, you not leaving?
1794
01:37:35,150 --> 01:37:37,030
You will not have
dinner here with me?
1795
01:37:37,060 --> 01:37:38,860
(Cyrano)
My regrets. I have a magnificent
1796
01:37:38,900 --> 01:37:42,450
roast waiting for me, a rare wine,
a gift from my publisher.
1797
01:37:42,490 --> 01:37:43,890
(Ragueneau)
Fine, to be sure.
1798
01:37:44,650 --> 01:37:47,490
Uh, have you seen
Moliere's new play?
1799
01:37:47,530 --> 01:37:48,160
No.
1800
01:37:48,340 --> 01:37:49,650
Heh, ah, well....
1801
01:37:49,690 --> 01:37:50,580
What is it?
1802
01:37:50,610 --> 01:37:51,460
Well, he...
1803
01:37:51,500 --> 01:37:52,250
Speak.
1804
01:37:52,290 --> 01:37:55,220
He stole a scene
from you, word for word.
1805
01:37:55,250 --> 01:37:57,140
You know, "What the devil
was he doing there?"
1806
01:37:57,170 --> 01:37:57,730
That one.
1807
01:37:57,770 --> 01:37:59,040
He stole it, bodily.
1808
01:37:59,070 --> 01:38:01,300
Well, he showed
good taste.
1809
01:38:01,340 --> 01:38:03,020
It, uh, played well?
1810
01:38:03,060 --> 01:38:05,450
Oh, beautifully. They
laughed and laughed.
1811
01:38:05,480 --> 01:38:06,810
Oh, how they laughed.
1812
01:38:07,250 --> 01:38:08,560
Moliere has genius.
1813
01:38:09,370 --> 01:38:11,010
Christian had good looks.
1814
01:38:12,170 --> 01:38:13,610
With me, it was
always thus.
1815
01:38:16,050 --> 01:38:17,240
Good night, my friend.
1816
01:38:32,340 --> 01:38:32,950
(man)
Hold, there.
1817
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:33,950
(man)
You!
1818
01:38:35,650 --> 01:38:36,850
(Cyrano)
Are you addressing me?
1819
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:38,990
Yes, you, Monsieur
of the long nose.
1820
01:38:39,100 --> 01:38:40,000
Insolence.
1821
01:38:40,290 --> 01:38:41,990
- Foulmouthed scribbler.
- What?
1822
01:38:42,020 --> 01:38:43,440
- Lair, plagiarist!
- Liar.
1823
01:38:47,910 --> 01:38:49,660
(whistling to wagon)
1824
01:39:08,630 --> 01:39:10,920
(driver whips horses)
1825
01:39:27,570 --> 01:39:28,490
Doctor.
1826
01:39:29,930 --> 01:39:31,260
Why pretend?
1827
01:39:31,550 --> 01:39:32,910
It is very grave.
1828
01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:35,500
Keep him quiet
at all costs.
1829
01:39:35,540 --> 01:39:38,500
If he attempts
to rise, he will die.
1830
01:39:38,540 --> 01:39:39,810
Shhhh.
1831
01:39:43,220 --> 01:39:43,930
Thank you.
1832
01:39:44,980 --> 01:39:47,240
(door closes)
1833
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:55,820
(gate bell rings)
1834
01:39:59,820 --> 01:40:01,490
(gate opens)
1835
01:40:01,530 --> 01:40:03,170
Monsieur.
1836
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:03,860
Ah, Sister.
1837
01:40:09,810 --> 01:40:10,880
(gasp)
1838
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:12,350
What is the matter
with you?
1839
01:40:14,480 --> 01:40:15,900
Shall I tell you
something, Sister?
1840
01:40:16,540 --> 01:40:20,470
Yesterday, Friday, mind you,
I ate meat again.
1841
01:40:21,930 --> 01:40:23,000
Yes, I know.
1842
01:40:23,350 --> 01:40:25,080
That is why you
are so pale.
1843
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:27,930
Please come to me
to the refectory before you go.
1844
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,250
I'll make you a great
bowl of hot soup.
1845
01:40:30,280 --> 01:40:31,630
Of course, of course.
1846
01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:33,950
You're quite reasonable today.
1847
01:40:33,990 --> 01:40:36,120
Perhaps you'll convert me.
1848
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:38,260
Oh, no! Not for the world.
1849
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:40,690
Why, now I think of it,
that is so.
1850
01:40:41,070 --> 01:40:44,560
You, bursting with holiness,
and yet you never preach.
1851
01:40:45,470 --> 01:40:46,760
Astonishing.
1852
01:40:47,060 --> 01:40:49,100
And now I shall astonish you.
1853
01:40:49,690 --> 01:40:54,110
I'm going to let you
pray for me tonight, at Vespers.
1854
01:40:55,830 --> 01:40:58,700
Absolutely struck dumb, eh?
1855
01:41:02,550 --> 01:41:05,180
I did not wait for you
to say I might.
1856
01:41:14,930 --> 01:41:17,450
Now may the devil admire
me if never hope to see
1857
01:41:17,490 --> 01:41:19,570
the end of that embroidery.
1858
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:23,440
After 14 years,
late for the first time.
1859
01:41:23,480 --> 01:41:26,550
Yes.
Yes, maddening.
1860
01:41:27,330 --> 01:41:31,480
I was detained by
a visitor. Most unexpected.
1861
01:41:32,150 --> 01:41:33,660
An old friend of mine.
1862
01:41:34,540 --> 01:41:36,830
At least a very
old acquaintance.
1863
01:41:36,870 --> 01:41:38,320
Did you tell him
to go away?
1864
01:41:38,980 --> 01:41:40,410
For the time being, yes.
1865
01:41:40,440 --> 01:41:45,270
I said excuse me,
I see that it's Saturday,
1866
01:41:45,620 --> 01:41:48,200
I have a previous
engagement.
1867
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:49,620
One I cannot miss.
1868
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:52,340
Even for you.
1869
01:41:53,250 --> 01:41:55,310
Come back an hour from now.
1870
01:41:55,420 --> 01:41:59,170
Your friend will have to wait.
I shall not let you go till dark.
1871
01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:04,970
Perhaps a little before dark,
I must go.
1872
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:09,080
Oh, then tell me now
the court news. My Gazette.
1873
01:42:10,390 --> 01:42:14,190
Ah, yes, well, let me see.
1874
01:42:16,350 --> 01:42:20,840
Saturday, 19th, the King
fell ill after eight helpings of
1875
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:22,170
grape marmalade.
1876
01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:26,320
Grape marmalade will
no longer be served at court.
1877
01:42:28,190 --> 01:42:33,010
Sunday, the royal pulse
is now normal.
1878
01:42:34,630 --> 01:42:37,930
Monday, everyone was
talking about the success
1879
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:39,600
of Moliere's new play.
1880
01:42:40,830 --> 01:42:46,110
Tuesday, the King fell ill
after six helpings of marone glacee.
1881
01:42:47,910 --> 01:42:50,130
Marone glacee will no
longer be served at court.
1882
01:42:51,710 --> 01:42:55,700
Wednesday, the Compte de Firske
spoke to Madame de Monte Glas.
1883
01:42:56,500 --> 01:42:59,380
She said....no.
1884
01:43:01,480 --> 01:43:07,450
Thursday.... Nothing.
1885
01:43:07,490 --> 01:43:10,580
Friday, Madame de Monte Glas
said yes.
1886
01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:18,800
Saturday, 25th....
1887
01:43:19,450 --> 01:43:20,520
Cyrano!
1888
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:24,010
What is it?
Cyrano!
1889
01:43:28,660 --> 01:43:31,300
- Oh, no, no, it is nothing.
- What?
1890
01:43:31,750 --> 01:43:34,200
The old wound at Arras
sometimes...
1891
01:43:34,230 --> 01:43:36,980
- My poor friend.
- No, no, no, it is nothing.
1892
01:43:37,830 --> 01:43:39,350
It will soon be gone.
1893
01:43:41,010 --> 01:43:44,990
(gasp) There. 'Tis gone.
1894
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:48,480
We all have
our old wounds.
1895
01:43:49,020 --> 01:43:53,920
I have mine here,
under this faded scrap of writing.
1896
01:43:55,380 --> 01:43:57,340
It's hard to read now.
1897
01:43:58,370 --> 01:44:01,340
All for the blots
and tears.
1898
01:44:01,370 --> 01:44:02,560
His letter?
1899
01:44:03,480 --> 01:44:06,650
Did you not promise me,
that someday you would let me read it?
1900
01:44:07,090 --> 01:44:12,350
- This letter? You wish...?
- I do wish it....today.
1901
01:44:22,650 --> 01:44:24,230
Open it and read.
1902
01:44:49,700 --> 01:44:54,660
"Farewell, Roxane,
because today I die."
1903
01:44:54,690 --> 01:44:56,000
Aloud?
1904
01:44:57,180 --> 01:45:00,150
"I know that it will be today,
my own dearly beloved.
1905
01:45:01,630 --> 01:45:04,900
"Yet, my heart still so heavy
with love I have not told.
1906
01:45:06,440 --> 01:45:11,330
"And I shall die without telling you.
1907
01:45:11,900 --> 01:45:15,740
"No more shall my eyes
drink the sight of you like wine,
1908
01:45:16,230 --> 01:45:19,180
"never more with a look
that is a kiss,
1909
01:45:19,740 --> 01:45:22,430
"follow the sweet
grace of you."
1910
01:45:22,470 --> 01:45:24,400
How you read it.
His letter.
1911
01:45:24,440 --> 01:45:26,300
"I remember now the way you have
1912
01:45:26,340 --> 01:45:30,280
"of pushing back a lock of hair
with one hand from your forehead,
1913
01:45:30,860 --> 01:45:33,270
- "and my heart cries out..."
- His letter!
1914
01:45:33,310 --> 01:45:35,000
- "cries out and keeps crying."
1915
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:38,240
- You read it so...
- "Farewell, my dear, my dearest,"
1916
01:45:38,270 --> 01:45:40,650
- In a voice...
- "my own heart's own,"
1917
01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:44,230
- "my own treasure,"
- In such a voice!
- "my...love."
1918
01:45:44,260 --> 01:45:47,140
Yes, I remember hearing long ago.
1919
01:45:47,490 --> 01:45:52,210
"I am never away from you.
Even now I shall not leave you.
1920
01:45:53,110 --> 01:45:56,360
"In another world, I shall
still be that one who loves you,
1921
01:45:56,390 --> 01:46:00,110
"loves you beyond measure,
beyond..."
1922
01:46:09,180 --> 01:46:11,130
But, how can you read it now?
1923
01:46:14,420 --> 01:46:17,810
And all those 14 years
he has been the old friend
1924
01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:19,650
who came to me to be amusing.
1925
01:46:20,930 --> 01:46:23,170
- Roxane.
- It was you.
1926
01:46:23,910 --> 01:46:24,880
No, no, Roxane, no.
1927
01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:28,100
And I might have know it every time
that I heard you speak my name.
1928
01:46:28,130 --> 01:46:31,690
- No, it was not I.
- It was you!
- I swear.
1929
01:46:32,460 --> 01:46:34,810
- The letters. That was you.
- No.
1930
01:46:35,140 --> 01:46:38,960
- And the dear foolish words.
That was you.
- No.
1931
01:46:39,190 --> 01:46:43,290
- And the voice in the dark.
That was you.
- On my honor!
1932
01:46:43,330 --> 01:46:47,170
And the soul.
It was all you.
1933
01:46:47,270 --> 01:46:49,180
I never loved you.
1934
01:46:49,350 --> 01:46:50,850
Yes, you loved me.
1935
01:46:50,970 --> 01:46:52,740
Even now you love me.
1936
01:46:53,660 --> 01:46:55,610
(gasp)
No!
1937
01:46:55,650 --> 01:46:57,920
And twice you're great to know.
1938
01:46:57,950 --> 01:47:00,760
Oh, no, no, my own dear love,
I love you not.
1939
01:47:03,340 --> 01:47:05,840
Why were you silent
for so many years?
1940
01:47:06,580 --> 01:47:07,860
All the while.
1941
01:47:08,090 --> 01:47:11,110
Every night, and every day,
he gave me nothing.
1942
01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:13,120
You knew that.
1943
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:16,680
You knew in that letter
lying on my breast.
1944
01:47:17,940 --> 01:47:19,230
Your tears.
1945
01:47:20,580 --> 01:47:22,770
You knew they
were your tears.
1946
01:47:26,390 --> 01:47:28,270
The blood was his.
1947
01:47:29,370 --> 01:47:30,200
Cyrano!
1948
01:47:32,690 --> 01:47:34,320
Here! He's here.
1949
01:47:34,490 --> 01:47:36,270
Oh, what recklessness.
1950
01:47:36,310 --> 01:47:36,570
No.
1951
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:37,430
I knew it!
1952
01:47:37,490 --> 01:47:40,440
- Oh Madame he has killed
himself coming here.
- No. Shh.
1953
01:47:40,700 --> 01:47:42,220
That drink is, what is it?
1954
01:47:42,290 --> 01:47:45,510
Nothing. I did not
finish my Gazette.
1955
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:49,970
Saturday, 26th, an hour
or so before dinner
1956
01:47:50,540 --> 01:47:55,340
Ms. de Bergerac died,
foully murdered.
1957
01:47:55,690 --> 01:47:57,470
Cyrano, what have
they done to you?
1958
01:47:57,600 --> 01:47:59,540
How fate loves a jest.
1959
01:47:59,980 --> 01:48:03,000
Behold me ambushed,
taken unawares.
1960
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:08,830
My noble foe, a lackey.
My battlefield, a gutter.
1961
01:48:09,490 --> 01:48:10,950
It seems too logical.
1962
01:48:11,370 --> 01:48:13,040
They have missed everything,
1963
01:48:13,820 --> 01:48:15,290
even my death.
1964
01:48:16,330 --> 01:48:17,950
Sisters! Sisters!
1965
01:48:17,990 --> 01:48:21,350
No, do not go away.
I may not be here when you return.
1966
01:48:22,030 --> 01:48:23,760
You shall not die.
1967
01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:25,460
(sobbing)
I love you.
1968
01:48:25,490 --> 01:48:27,410
No, my lady,
it's not in the story.
1969
01:48:28,100 --> 01:48:29,900
When beauty said
I love you to the beast
1970
01:48:29,930 --> 01:48:32,990
all his ugliness changed
and dissolved, like magic.
1971
01:48:33,550 --> 01:48:37,370
But, you see,
I am still the same.
1972
01:48:37,440 --> 01:48:39,430
And I have
done this to you.
1973
01:48:39,470 --> 01:48:40,620
You? Why no.
1974
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:42,060
All my fault, mine!
1975
01:48:42,100 --> 01:48:43,320
On the contrary.
1976
01:48:44,060 --> 01:48:47,080
I have never know womanhood
in its sweetness, but for you.
1977
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:50,750
My mother did not
like to look at me.
1978
01:48:52,050 --> 01:48:53,530
I never had a sister.
1979
01:48:54,880 --> 01:49:01,130
Later, I feared those sweethearts
with mockery behind her smile.
1980
01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:06,150
But, because of you,
I have had across my life
1981
01:49:06,930 --> 01:49:10,600
one whispering, silken gown.
1982
01:49:12,780 --> 01:49:15,200
I never loved but
one man in my life.
1983
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:18,680
I have lost him, twice.
1984
01:49:19,660 --> 01:49:23,540
(sobbing)
1985
01:49:23,570 --> 01:49:27,890
I would not have you mourning
any less that good, noble Christian.
1986
01:49:28,980 --> 01:49:32,570
But, perhaps, I ask only this,
1987
01:49:34,100 --> 01:49:36,370
when the great cold
gathers around my bones,
1988
01:49:37,770 --> 01:49:42,590
you may give a double
meaning to your widow's weeds.
1989
01:49:43,910 --> 01:49:50,900
The tears you let fall for him,
may for a little, be my tears.
1990
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:53,040
Oh, my love!
1991
01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:58,400
No, not here.
Not lying down.
1992
01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:01,300
Let no one help me.
No one need help me.
1993
01:50:06,310 --> 01:50:07,430
It is coming.
1994
01:50:08,260 --> 01:50:11,460
I feel already shod with marble.
1995
01:50:12,720 --> 01:50:13,950
Gloved with lead.
1996
01:50:14,730 --> 01:50:16,700
Very well,
let the old fellow come now.
1997
01:50:17,190 --> 01:50:19,600
He shall find me
on my feet.
1998
01:50:21,670 --> 01:50:23,120
Sword in hand.
1999
01:50:23,160 --> 01:50:24,110
Cyrano!
2000
01:50:24,500 --> 01:50:25,890
He'd delirious.
2001
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:28,000
I see him now.
2002
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:28,700
He grins.
2003
01:50:28,740 --> 01:50:30,750
He is looking at my nose!
2004
01:50:30,790 --> 01:50:31,820
That skeleton.
2005
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:33,730
You there.
2006
01:50:33,970 --> 01:50:34,670
Who are you?
2007
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:36,950
A hundred against one, eh?
2008
01:50:37,300 --> 01:50:40,020
I know them now,
my ancient enemies.
2009
01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:40,960
Falsehood, there!
2010
01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:42,470
There, Prejudice!
2011
01:50:42,490 --> 01:50:44,100
Compromise, Cowardice.
2012
01:50:44,580 --> 01:50:47,160
What's that?
Surrender? No, never!
2013
01:50:47,190 --> 01:50:48,430
Never!
2014
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:50,820
Ah, you too, Vanity.
2015
01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:54,180
I knew you would
overthrow me in the end.
2016
01:50:54,210 --> 01:50:57,310
No, I fight, I fight on,
I fight....ow!
2017
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:01,000
(gasping)
2018
01:51:06,540 --> 01:51:08,550
All my laurels
you have riven away.
2019
01:51:10,290 --> 01:51:11,770
And my roses.
2020
01:51:12,940 --> 01:51:15,600
Yet, in spite of you,
there is one crown
2021
01:51:15,630 --> 01:51:16,980
I made away with me.
2022
01:51:17,020 --> 01:51:20,380
And tonight when I
enter before God,
2023
01:51:21,850 --> 01:51:27,140
my salute shall sweep away
the stars from the blue threshold.
2024
01:51:28,310 --> 01:51:33,240
One thing without stain,
unspotted from the world,
2025
01:51:34,240 --> 01:51:40,610
in spite of doom, mine own,
...and that is...
2026
01:51:43,220 --> 01:51:51,220
my...white...plume...

In seventeenth-century Paris, poet and supreme swordsman Cyrano de Bergerac (José Ferrer) stops a play from being shown because he ostensibly cannot stand the bombastic style of the principal actor, Montfleury (Arthur Blake). An annoyed aristocratic fop, the Vicomte de Valvert (Albert Cavens), provokes him into a duel by tritely insulting Cyrano's enormous nose. Cyrano first mocks his lack of wit, improvising numerous inventive ways in which Valvert could have phrased it (much to the amusement of the audience). He then composes a ballade for the occasion on the spot and recites it during the sword fight. With the last line, he stabs his opponent.
Cyrano's friend Le Bret (Morris Carnovsky), Captain of the Gascony Guards, warns him he has made powerful enemies of his victim's friends, but he is unconcerned. When Le Bret presses him to reveal the real reason he hates Montfleury, Cyrano admits that he became jealous when he saw the actor smiling at his beautiful cousin Roxane (Mala Powers). He confesses that he is in love with her, but harbors no hope of it being returned because of his nose. When he receives a request from Roxane to see her in the morning, he is finally emboldened to act.
Then pastry chef and fellow poet Ragueneau (Lloyd Corrigan) approaches him for help. Ragueneau has learned that a nobleman he had mocked with his verses, the Comte De Guiche (Ralph Clanton), has hired a hundred ruffians to teach him a lesson. Cyrano escorts him, kills eight of the horde, and drives off the rest.
The next day, before he can tell Roxane of his feelings, she informs him that she has fallen in love with a handsome guardsman, Christian de Neuvillette (William Prince), though she has not even spoken to him. Cyrano hides his devastation and agrees to help her.
Cyrano befriends the young man, who is in Cyrano's guards' unit, and discovers that he is infatuated with Roxane, but is too inept with words to woo her. To help him, Cyrano composes Christian's love letters to Roxane, which she finds irresistible. Later, Christian decides he wants no more help and tries to speak to Roxane face to face, but fails miserably and she re-enters her house in an angry huff. Cyrano, hiding in the bushes, comes to his rescue, but this time by imitating Christian's voice and speaking to Roxane from under her balcony. He is so eloquent that he (unintentionally) wins a kiss for Christian from Roxane.
When the arrogant Comte De Guiche, who is also wooing Roxane, pressures her to marry him, Cyrano delays him long enough for her to wed Christian instead. Furious, De Guiche, Christian's commander, orders him to join his unit immediately for a war against the Spanish, preventing the couple from spending their wedding night together.
With Cyrano under his command as well, De Guiche earns the swordsman's respect by his conduct in the war. From the field, Cyrano sends Roxane letters every day, supposedly written by Christian. Roxane visits her husband in camp and tells him that she now has fallen in love with him not merely for his looks but because of his words, and would love him even if he were ugly. Realizing that she really loves Cyrano, Christian gets his rival to agree to tell Roxane the truth and let her decide between them. But before the opportunity arises, Christian volunteers for a dangerous mission and is fatally wounded, silencing Cyrano.
Roxane enters a convent in mourning. Years pass, with Cyrano visiting Roxane weekly, having retired from the military and writing satirical articles mocking the nobility. De Guiche, who has also befriended her and has come to respect Cyrano, has overheard a courtier plotting against Cyrano. De Guiche warns Roxane that Cyrano's life may be in danger. One night, Cyrano is lured into an ambush; the poet is run down by a carriage. Near death, he hides his injuries and goes to keep his appointment with Roxane for the last time. His secret love for Roxane is finally revealed when he recites from memory the last of his love letters, which she has kept, but it is too late. Cyrano first slips into delirium, then dies, leaving Roxane to mourn a second time.

- Clown! The king of clowns!
Leave the stage at once!
7
00:02:43,970 --> 00:02:44,620
- Who is it?
8
00:02:44,650 --> 00:02:47,570
It's Cyrano.
I was afraid he'd do this.

11
00:02:57,940 --> 00:02:59,260
- Let's be quiet.
- Quiet!
12
00:03:00,190 --> 00:03:01,380

- Donkeys say rather Hee-Haw!
16
00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:17,790
Begone! Or must I come and
help you off the stage myself?
17
00:03:21,130 --> 00:03:24,000
What! Still there?

<i>Where balmy zephyrs

19
00:03:28,250 --> 00:03:32,050
Fat swine, if you dare breathe

20
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,640
I'll fan your cheeks
for you!
21
00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:36,480
Monsieur, won't you all
protect me?
22
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,090
- Proceed, proceed.
- Go on.
23
00:03:38,130 --> 00:03:40,880
Sir, I will not allow you
to insult me in this manner.
24
00:03:40,910 --> 00:03:43,520
Really?
What manner would you prefer?
25
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:44,850
Quiet, down there!
26
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,940
- We'll tolerate
no more of this.
27
00:03:47,870 --> 00:03:49,720
Go on with the play,
Montfleury.

My cousin, sir.
33
00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:04,710
Well, Montfleury,
still no exit?
34
00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:06,930
- Very well then,
I enter
35
00:04:06,970 --> 00:04:11,740
with knife, to carve
this fat, stuffed goose.
36
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:14,800
(ominous music begins)
37
00:04:14,830 --> 00:04:18,080
(crowd clamors)
38
00:04:20,030 --> 00:04:22,170
I pray, do not crowd
my scabbard here.
39
00:04:22,210 --> 00:04:24,320
She may put her
tongue out at you.
40
00:04:24,350 --> 00:04:27,140
(shouted recriminations)
41
00:04:29,870 --> 00:04:30,990
Silence.
42
00:04:31,910 --> 00:04:33,830
I say be silent!
43
00:04:35,450 --> 00:04:38,260
And I offer one universal
challenge to you all:
44
00:04:38,460 --> 00:04:41,410
Will all who wish to die,
please raise their hands.
45
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,360
Approach, young heroes.
I will take your names.
46
00:04:45,140 --> 00:04:47,830
To the first man who falls
I'll build a monument.
47
00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:49,710
Who will head the list?
48
00:04:50,010 --> 00:04:50,780
You, sir?
49
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,000
No.
50
00:04:52,830 --> 00:04:53,610
You?
51
00:04:54,470 --> 00:04:55,170
No, no.
52
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,770
Anyone?
53
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,600
Anyone at all?
54
00:05:01,110 --> 00:05:03,550
Not one...name?
55
00:05:04,260 --> 00:05:06,420
Not one finger?
56
00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:10,260
Very well then,
I go on.
57
00:05:16,130 --> 00:05:18,810
Attend to me, Full Moon.
58
00:05:21,340 --> 00:05:24,190
I clap my hands three times, thus.
59
00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:26,740
(three claps)
60
00:05:26,770 --> 00:05:30,320
At the third, you will...
eclipse yourself.
61
00:05:30,490 --> 00:05:31,390
Ready!
62
00:05:32,110 --> 00:05:32,910
One.
63
00:05:34,010 --> 00:05:34,900
(clap)
64
00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:36,070
How dare you.
65
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:37,210
I demand!
66
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,070
I insist.
67
00:05:38,110 --> 00:05:40,150
- I call upon all the nobles...
- Two!
68
00:05:41,010 --> 00:05:42,080
(clap)
69
00:05:42,110 --> 00:05:43,090
This is an outrage.
70
00:05:43,130 --> 00:05:44,040
You hear, an outrage.
71
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:46,620
Nothing on earth
will move me from this stage.
72
00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:48,800
Three!
73
00:05:49,570 --> 00:05:49,910
(clap)
74
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:55,410
(laughter)
75
00:05:56,260 --> 00:05:59,210
Fair ladies and noble gentlemen...
- Boo!
76
00:05:59,250 --> 00:06:02,560
(laughter)
77
00:06:02,950 --> 00:06:04,210
But, Monsieur de Bergerac,
78
00:06:04,250 --> 00:06:07,490
why have you done this
to our Montfleury, an admirable actor?
79
00:06:07,530 --> 00:06:10,090
I have two reasons,
either one conclusive.
80
00:06:10,670 --> 00:06:12,800
First, he is an
abominable actor,
81
00:06:12,830 --> 00:06:15,870
who mouths his verse
and moans his tragedy.
82
00:06:16,350 --> 00:06:17,630
Second,....
83
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:20,970
Well, that's my secret.
84
00:06:22,530 --> 00:06:25,280
But...
But you've closed the play!
85
00:06:25,310 --> 00:06:26,880
It is not a very good play.
86
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:28,970
Huh!
And of their money?
87
00:06:29,010 --> 00:06:31,080
Possibly you would like
that returned to these good people.
88
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:31,960
Yes?
89
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,360
Yes.
90
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:35,830
Here,...catch!
91
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:37,920
(crowd murmurs)
92
00:06:38,410 --> 00:06:41,960
Well, Monsieur, you are hereby
authorized to close our play every night.
93
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,200
On these terms.
94
00:06:43,230 --> 00:06:43,740
(laughter)
95
00:06:43,780 --> 00:06:46,400
Ladies and gentlemen,
your money will be returned.
96
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,250
Kindly pass out, quietly.
97
00:06:48,290 --> 00:06:50,030
Goodnight, goodnight.
98
00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:53,220
(crowd accepts
in good spirits)
99
00:06:55,740 --> 00:06:57,120
(until...)
100
00:06:59,530 --> 00:07:02,610
Your cousin is an
extraordinary man, Madame.
101
00:07:02,650 --> 00:07:04,080
Oh, I agree.
102
00:07:04,410 --> 00:07:08,550
Soldier, poet, philosopher,
musician, playwright.
103
00:07:08,580 --> 00:07:09,570
All those?
104
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,360
Yes, and the best
swordsman in Paris.
105
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,310
Really?
106
00:07:14,340 --> 00:07:17,060
Now, I should have thought
the Vicomte here had that honor.
107
00:07:17,310 --> 00:07:21,360
Tell me, Madame, that
comic mask, that nose,
108
00:07:21,390 --> 00:07:23,300
presently he will take it off?
109
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:25,950
No, Monsieur, he keeps it.
110
00:07:26,450 --> 00:07:29,350
And heaven help
the man who smiles.
111
00:07:29,850 --> 00:07:31,060
Good night.
112
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,880
Oh, Monsieur!
113
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,980
Monsieur!
114
00:07:40,020 --> 00:07:42,710
Uh, when do you leave Paris?
115
00:07:43,210 --> 00:07:44,100
Sir?
116
00:07:44,250 --> 00:07:46,280
Why, after what you've
just done to Montfleury,
117
00:07:46,310 --> 00:07:48,750
did you not know that
the Compte de Guiche was his patron?
118
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:50,190
Who's yours?
119
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:52,140
No one.
120
00:07:52,170 --> 00:07:52,940
No one?
121
00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:53,870
No patron?
122
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:54,630
I said not.
123
00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:56,900
But the Compte de Guiche
has a long arm.
124
00:07:56,930 --> 00:07:58,900
Mine is longer
by three feet of steel.
125
00:07:59,530 --> 00:08:00,180
Yes, but..
126
00:08:00,860 --> 00:08:02,160
but, what a scare...
127
00:08:02,190 --> 00:08:02,990
You may go now.
128
00:08:03,020 --> 00:08:04,510
- but...
- You may go.
129
00:08:05,810 --> 00:08:08,620
Well, tell me,
why are you staring at my nose?
130
00:08:08,650 --> 00:08:10,160
Oh, I was not staring.
131
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:11,630
Does it astonish you?
132
00:08:11,660 --> 00:08:13,920
Why n...Why no, I've been careful
not to look.
133
00:08:13,950 --> 00:08:15,510
Oh, and why not, if you please?
134
00:08:15,550 --> 00:08:16,730
It disgusts you, then?
135
00:08:16,770 --> 00:08:17,880
But, no, I just...
136
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,700
Does its color appear
to you unwholesome?
137
00:08:19,730 --> 00:08:20,480
By no means.
138
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,310
Then, possibly you find it
just a trifle large?
139
00:08:22,340 --> 00:08:24,500
No, small, very small, tiny!
140
00:08:24,530 --> 00:08:25,640
Infinitesimal!
141
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,960
What?
You accuse me of absurdity?
142
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,730
Small, my nose?
Why magnificent, my nose!
143
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,900
You pug, you knob,
you button head,
144
00:08:34,930 --> 00:08:37,170
know that I glory
in this nose of mine!
145
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,400
For a great nose
indicates a great man,
146
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:45,440
congenial, courteous,
intellectual, virile, courageous.
147
00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:48,050
Whilst that face of yours,
148
00:08:48,370 --> 00:08:54,070
that blank, inglorious concavity
which my right hand finds on top of you,
149
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:59,630
is as devoid of pride, of poetry,
of soul, of picturesqueness,
150
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:04,810
of contour, of character,
of nose, in short,
151
00:09:04,850 --> 00:09:09,740
as that which is at the bottom of
that limp spine of yours my left foot...
- Oh, help!
152
00:09:09,780 --> 00:09:11,550
(laughter)
153
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:13,840
Presently, this fellow
will grow tiresome.
154
00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:16,590
Oh, he blows his horn.
155
00:09:17,330 --> 00:09:19,800
- Well, will no one
put him in his place?
156
00:09:20,270 --> 00:09:22,660
If you would all me.
Observe.
157
00:09:25,090 --> 00:09:31,260
Monsieur, your nose,
your nose is rather large.
158
00:09:34,450 --> 00:09:35,400
Rather?
159
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,350
Oh, well.
160
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:37,620
Is that all?
161
00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:38,540
Well, of course, you...
162
00:09:38,570 --> 00:09:40,400
Ah, no young sir, you're too simple.
163
00:09:40,430 --> 00:09:42,620
Why, you might have
said a great many things.
164
00:09:42,650 --> 00:09:44,800
Why waste your opportunity?
165
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:45,860
For example, thus...
166
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:47,450
Aggressive---
167
00:09:47,490 --> 00:09:51,040
I, sir, if that great nose were mine,
I would have it amputated on the spot.
168
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:52,710
Practical---
169
00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:56,570
How do you drink with such a nose.
You must have had a cup made especially.
170
00:09:56,850 --> 00:09:57,880
Descriptive---
171
00:09:57,910 --> 00:10:00,570
'Tis a rock, a crag, a cape.
172
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,510
A cape, say rather, a peninsula.
173
00:10:05,890 --> 00:10:06,990
Inquisitive---
174
00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:11,400
Uh, what is that receptacle,
a razor case or a portfolio?
175
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,680
Kindly---
176
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,840
Ah, do you love the little birds so much
that when they come and sing to you,
177
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,690
you give them this to perch on?
178
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,570
Cautious---
179
00:10:20,610 --> 00:10:24,120
Take care. A weight like that
might make you top-heavy.
180
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,250
Eloquent---
181
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,510
When it blows the typhoon howls
and the clouds darken.
182
00:10:29,580 --> 00:10:30,400
Dramatic---
183
00:10:30,430 --> 00:10:34,690
When it bleeds...the Red Sea.
184
00:10:35,540 --> 00:10:36,530
Simple---
185
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:39,640
Eh, when do they
unveil the monument?
186
00:10:40,020 --> 00:10:40,900
Military---
187
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:43,510
Beware, a secret weapon!
188
00:10:44,290 --> 00:10:45,620
Enterprising---
189
00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:48,080
What a sigh for some perfumer!
190
00:10:48,490 --> 00:10:49,300
Respectful---
191
00:10:49,330 --> 00:10:52,050
Uh sir, I recognize in you
a man of parts,
192
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,740
a man of...prominence.
193
00:10:54,770 --> 00:10:56,500
Or, Literary---
194
00:10:56,530 --> 00:10:59,360
Was this the nose
that launched a thousand ships?
195
00:11:00,010 --> 00:11:02,850
These, my dear sir, are things
you might have said had you
196
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,690
some tinge of letters or of wit
to color your discourse.
197
00:11:05,810 --> 00:11:07,970
Bit wit not so.
You never had an atom.
198
00:11:08,270 --> 00:11:14,480
And of letters, you need
but three to write you down, a..s..s.
199
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:16,530
Ass.
200
00:11:16,570 --> 00:11:18,040
- (laughter)
- You, sir!
201
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,600
Dolt! Bumpkin! Fool!
202
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:26,620
How do you do, and I,
Cyrano Savinien Hercule de Bergerac.
203
00:11:26,650 --> 00:11:28,050
Vicomte, come.
204
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,650
Such arrogance.
This scarecrow who...
205
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:31,850
Look at him!
206
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,120
No ribbons. No lace.
Not even gloves!
207
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,700
True. I carry my adornments
only on my soul.
208
00:11:39,740 --> 00:11:41,860
Decked with deeds
instead of ribbons.
209
00:11:41,890 --> 00:11:43,420
Mantled in my good name,
210
00:11:43,460 --> 00:11:45,350
and crowned with a
white plume of freedom.
211
00:11:45,380 --> 00:11:46,130
But..
212
00:11:46,170 --> 00:11:47,510
But, I have no gloves.
213
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:48,630
A pity, too.
214
00:11:48,670 --> 00:11:51,630
I had one, the last one of an old pair,
and lost that.
215
00:11:51,660 --> 00:11:53,250
Very careless of me.
216
00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:55,750
Some gentleman offered me
an impertinence.
217
00:11:55,790 --> 00:11:59,840
I left it in his face.
218
00:11:59,870 --> 00:12:00,840
So be it!
219
00:12:02,110 --> 00:12:05,050
You shall die exquisitely
220
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,160
Oh, a poet.
221
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,640
Oh, yes, a poet if you will.
222
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:11,510
So, uh, while we fight,
I'll improvise a ballad for you,
223
00:12:11,540 --> 00:12:15,270
and as I end the refrain,
...skhrch!...thrust home.
224
00:12:15,310 --> 00:12:16,280
Will you?
225
00:12:17,180 --> 00:12:18,130
I will.
226
00:12:21,820 --> 00:12:23,420
(excited crowd)
227
00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:26,890
Ballad au Duel
at the Theatre de Burgoyne
228
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,320
between de Bergerac,
and uh.....a barbarian.
229
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,240
What do you mean by that?
230
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,000
Oh, that?
231
00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:34,960
The title.
232
00:12:34,990 --> 00:12:36,570
(laughter)
233
00:12:36,610 --> 00:12:38,200
Stop. Let me choose my rhyme.
234
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:47,640
So. Here we go.
235
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:50,070
Lightly I toss my hat away.
236
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:55,440
Languidly o'er my arm let fall
the cloak that covers my bright array.
237
00:12:55,510 --> 00:13:00,770
Then, out swords,
and to work withal.
238
00:13:02,660 --> 00:13:05,720
A Lancelot in his lady's hall,
239
00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:10,580
A Spartacus at the Hippodrome,
240
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,340
I dally a while with you..
241
00:13:13,380 --> 00:13:14,750
you jackall.
242
00:13:32,810 --> 00:13:34,360
Just as I end the refrain,
243
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,380
thrust home!
244
00:13:51,290 --> 00:13:54,220
Where shall I skewer my peacock again?
245
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,160
Nay, better for you
to have shunned this brawl.
246
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,010
Here in the heart
or your ribbons, gay,
247
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,610
in the belly
'neath you silken shawl?
248
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,130
Now, come my points floats,
light as the foam
249
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,640
ready to drive you
back to the wall,
250
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:20,030
and then as I end the refrain,
251
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,440
thrust home.
252
00:14:21,930 --> 00:14:23,210
Oh, for a rhyme.
253
00:14:23,580 --> 00:14:25,060
Why, your fight is fading.
254
00:14:25,420 --> 00:14:26,040
You break.
255
00:14:26,350 --> 00:14:26,970
You cower.
256
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:27,600
You cringe.
257
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:28,200
You crawl.
258
00:14:29,310 --> 00:14:30,740
How can I tell
you're allowed to say
259
00:14:30,780 --> 00:14:31,750
something to turn on my head
260
00:14:31,790 --> 00:14:32,720
forestall.....
261
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:33,660
Life with a tunny
262
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:34,970
death with a scall.
263
00:14:35,010 --> 00:14:36,760
Something to turn on my fancy roam,
264
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,670
free for a time till the rhyme's recall,
265
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,620
then as I end the refrain,
266
00:14:40,650 --> 00:14:41,620
thrust home!
267
00:14:43,810 --> 00:14:44,670
Refrain.
268
00:14:45,550 --> 00:14:48,960
Prince,
pray God that is Lord of all,
269
00:14:48,990 --> 00:14:50,840
pardon you soul,
270
00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:54,190
for your time has come.
271
00:14:56,860 --> 00:14:58,820
Pass! I fling you aslant, asprawl.
272
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:00,590
Then as I end the refrain,
273
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,680
thrust home!
274
00:15:41,820 --> 00:15:45,390
(shouts of hurray
and congratulation)
275
00:15:47,130 --> 00:15:49,470
Ladies and gentlemen,
please, please,
276
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:50,790
not until the performance is over.
277
00:15:51,070 --> 00:15:51,980
Close the house.
278
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:52,820
A strike,
279
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,340
but leave the lights.
280
00:15:54,380 --> 00:15:56,070
We rehearse the new
farce tonight.
281
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,240
Wait.
282
00:16:04,110 --> 00:16:05,570
You have only to watch a fight,
283
00:16:05,610 --> 00:16:07,530
or have you ruined
if you listen to them.
284
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:11,570
Think of the enemies you've made,
285
00:16:11,610 --> 00:16:14,050
Montfleury, the Vicomte,
if he lives,
286
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,380
all those foppish marquis,
the Comte de Guiche.
287
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:18,970
That politician.
288
00:16:19,010 --> 00:16:21,910
He's the Cardinal's nephew.
There's power there!
289
00:16:21,950 --> 00:16:23,330
And power here.
290
00:16:23,370 --> 00:16:24,680
Young fool!
291
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,540
Take an example from me.
292
00:16:26,570 --> 00:16:29,810
20 years a captain,
while others who know only
293
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,750
how to deploy their
forces at court
294
00:16:31,780 --> 00:16:33,890
now dangle a marshal's baton.
295
00:16:33,930 --> 00:16:37,360
Well, uh, someday
I will avenge you, too.
296
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,530
Impossible.
Come on, let's go to dinner.
297
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,830
Dinner?
No, not I.
298
00:16:41,860 --> 00:16:42,540
Why not?
299
00:16:42,580 --> 00:16:44,530
Because I have no money.
300
00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:46,150
But, the purse of gold.
301
00:16:46,180 --> 00:16:48,140
Farewell paternal pension.
302
00:16:48,180 --> 00:16:51,430
And you have
until the first of next month?
303
00:16:51,470 --> 00:16:52,310
Nothing.
304
00:16:53,140 --> 00:16:54,460
What a fool.
305
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:56,770
Yes, but, what a moment.
306
00:16:56,810 --> 00:16:57,670
- Pardon, Monsieur.
307
00:17:00,010 --> 00:17:01,770
A man ought
never to go hungry.
308
00:17:02,690 --> 00:17:04,150
I have everything here.
309
00:17:05,490 --> 00:17:06,360
Please.
310
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,080
My dear child, I cannot bend this Gascon
pride of mine to accept such a kindness.
311
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:11,820
But, I...
312
00:17:12,910 --> 00:17:15,810
Yet, for fear that
I may give you pain if I refuse,
313
00:17:16,550 --> 00:17:18,190
I will take something.
314
00:17:19,630 --> 00:17:20,660
A grape.
315
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:25,160
One only.
316
00:17:25,820 --> 00:17:27,170
And a glass of water.
317
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,650
No, clear.
318
00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:35,750
And, uh,...half a macaroon.
319
00:17:37,010 --> 00:17:38,100
Nothing more?
320
00:17:39,060 --> 00:17:39,920
Why, yes.
321
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,230
Your hand to kiss.
322
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,510
Thank you, sir.
323
00:18:02,090 --> 00:18:03,100
Good night.
324
00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:10,290
Idiot.
325
00:18:13,170 --> 00:18:13,890
Dinner.
326
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,160
Drink.
327
00:18:18,830 --> 00:18:19,720
Desert.
328
00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:24,670
Mon Dieux, I was hungry,
abominably.
329
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:26,320
Tell me.
330
00:18:26,590 --> 00:18:27,440
Anything.
331
00:18:27,790 --> 00:18:29,920
Why to you hate
this Montfleury?
332
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:32,860
A very bad actor.
333
00:18:32,890 --> 00:18:34,860
Ah, come now, the real
reason, the truth.
334
00:18:36,610 --> 00:18:39,600
That fat goat who cannot hold
his belly in his arms,
335
00:18:39,630 --> 00:18:42,590
still dreams of being
sweetly dangerous among the women.
336
00:18:43,230 --> 00:18:47,610
Sighs and languishes, making sheep's
eyes out of his great frog's face.
337
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:52,750
I hate him ever since one day
he dared smile upon....
338
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,220
Oh, my friend, I seemed to see over
some flower a great snail crawling.
339
00:19:00,090 --> 00:19:01,180
Eh, what?
340
00:19:02,170 --> 00:19:03,340
Is it possible?
341
00:19:04,890 --> 00:19:06,180
For me to love?
342
00:19:08,770 --> 00:19:09,660
I love.
343
00:19:10,370 --> 00:19:12,570
Whom?
May I know?
344
00:19:12,610 --> 00:19:13,620
Whom I love?
345
00:19:15,070 --> 00:19:16,000
Think a moment.
346
00:19:16,210 --> 00:19:17,280
Think of me.
347
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,670
Me, whom the plainest
woman would despise.
348
00:19:21,030 --> 00:19:25,010
Me, with this nose of mine that
marches on before me by a quarter of an hour.
349
00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:28,000
Whom shall I love.
350
00:19:29,890 --> 00:19:34,930
Why, of course, it must be the
woman in the world most beautiful.
351
00:19:35,780 --> 00:19:37,170
Most beautiful?
352
00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:42,920
In these eyes of mine....
beyond compare.
353
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:44,070
Wait.
354
00:19:44,510 --> 00:19:46,440
Your cousin, Roxane.
355
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,300
Yes.
356
00:19:50,170 --> 00:19:51,080
Roxane.
357
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,810
Well?
358
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,020
Why not?
If you love her, tell her so.
359
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,170
My old friend.
360
00:20:01,150 --> 00:20:03,550
Look at me and tell me how
much hope remains for me
361
00:20:03,580 --> 00:20:04,970
with this protuberance.
362
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,360
Ahhh, I have no more illusions.
363
00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:12,140
Now and then I may grow tender
walking alone in the blue of evening
364
00:20:12,170 --> 00:20:16,130
through some garden fresh with flowers
after the benediction of the rain.
365
00:20:16,980 --> 00:20:20,930
My poor big devil of a nose
inhales April.
366
00:20:21,460 --> 00:20:26,950
And I follow with my eyes where
some boy with a girl upon his arm,
367
00:20:27,510 --> 00:20:32,130
passes a patch of silver...
and I feel somehow....
368
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,490
I wish I had a woman, too,
369
00:20:36,670 --> 00:20:41,660
walking with me under the moon,
and holding my arm and smiling.
370
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:44,240
Then I dream.
371
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:46,140
I forget.
372
00:20:49,510 --> 00:20:53,210
And then I see the shadow
of my profile on the wall.
373
00:20:54,750 --> 00:20:56,050
My friend.
374
00:20:57,180 --> 00:20:58,230
My friend.
375
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,370
I have my bitter days,
knowing myself so ugly, so alone.
376
00:21:03,410 --> 00:21:05,260
Ah, but your wit, your courage,
377
00:21:05,540 --> 00:21:08,170
why that poor child who just
now offered you your dinner,
378
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,710
your saw it, her eyes
did not avoid you.
379
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,920
That is true.
380
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,930
Well, then, Roxane herself,
watching your duel, pale.
381
00:21:18,970 --> 00:21:19,480
Pale?
382
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,670
Yes, her lips parted.
Her hand at her breast, thus.
383
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,020
I saw it.
384
00:21:24,260 --> 00:21:27,260
Speak to her. Speak, man.
385
00:21:35,890 --> 00:21:37,550
She might laugh at me.
386
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:42,480
It is the one thing
in this world I fear.
387
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,490
Pardon, Monsieur,
a lady outside asking for you.
388
00:21:48,410 --> 00:21:49,750
Monsieur.
389
00:21:50,340 --> 00:21:51,270
A Duenna.
390
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,530
I have a message for you
from a...a certain lady.
391
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,760
She desires to know when
and where she may see you privately.
392
00:21:57,810 --> 00:22:00,070
She has certain
things to tell you.
393
00:22:00,690 --> 00:22:01,850
Certain...
394
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,010
Things!
395
00:22:04,230 --> 00:22:05,720
She wishes to see me?
396
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,410
We go tomorrow at dawn
to hear mass at St. Rupe
397
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,070
And afterwards, where
would you suggest?
398
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:12,630
Well, then, I...
399
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:15,300
- Where?
- Well?
400
00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:17,070
Ah....I am thinking.
401
00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:18,080
And you think?
402
00:22:19,770 --> 00:22:20,590
Where?
403
00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:22,060
The shop at Ragueneau's.
404
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:24,580
Yes, yes, Ragueneau,
the pastry cook.
405
00:22:24,620 --> 00:22:25,400
Who dwells?
406
00:22:26,650 --> 00:22:27,590
Rue Saint Honore.
407
00:22:27,630 --> 00:22:28,690
Eh...Rue Saint Honore.
408
00:22:28,730 --> 00:22:33,530
We are agreed. At 7 o'clock.
Until then. Adieu.
409
00:22:38,790 --> 00:22:39,940
I'll be there.
410
00:22:41,620 --> 00:22:44,110
Me! To see me!
411
00:22:44,260 --> 00:22:45,830
Ah, not quite so gloomy.
412
00:22:45,870 --> 00:22:47,580
After all, she knows
that I exist.
413
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,060
Imagine, she has
asked to see me!
414
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:52,240
So, now you're
going to be happy?
415
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,350
Happy.
I'm going to be a storm.
A flame!
416
00:22:55,390 --> 00:22:58,430
I need to fight whole
armies all alone!
417
00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,840
I have ten hearts!
418
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,280
I have a hundred arms!.
419
00:23:01,310 --> 00:23:04,450
I feel too strong
to war with mortals!
420
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,150
BRING ME GIANTS!
421
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:11,240
Quiet, please, shhh.
We are rehearsing back here.
422
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,600
So sorry.
Ha, ha, ha.
423
00:23:21,490 --> 00:23:22,280
Cyrano.
424
00:23:22,830 --> 00:23:23,630
Cyrano.
425
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,590
Ragueneau.
426
00:23:26,150 --> 00:23:27,910
Oh, thank goodness
you're still here.
427
00:23:27,950 --> 00:23:29,180
Well, what's the matter.
428
00:23:29,210 --> 00:23:30,410
I'm afraid to go home.
429
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,040
Why?
430
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,050
You know those
comic verses I wrote?
431
00:23:33,090 --> 00:23:34,830
About the congregation.
432
00:23:34,860 --> 00:23:37,260
Cyrano, he's hired ruffians.
Bullies.
433
00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:39,740
A hundred, waiting for
me on the way home.
434
00:23:39,780 --> 00:23:41,620
They're gonna beat me.
Cane me!
435
00:23:41,650 --> 00:23:44,450
Please, would you permit me
to spend the night with you?
436
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,420
A hundred men,
is that all?
437
00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:49,610
Ragueneau, you're
going home tonight.
438
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,630
But they're armed.
They're cutthroats!
439
00:23:51,690 --> 00:23:53,620
Take this lantern.
Forward march.
440
00:23:53,660 --> 00:23:55,760
I say that I'll be the man
to see you to your shop.
441
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,150
Not you, I want no help from you.
442
00:23:57,190 --> 00:23:58,510
For even for a hundred,
you're mad.
443
00:23:58,550 --> 00:23:59,730
Those are the odds I want.
444
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,420
Why for this pastry cook?
445
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,820
First, because this
pastry cook is a friend of mine.
446
00:24:04,930 --> 00:24:07,820
Second, because this
pastry cook is also a poet.
447
00:24:07,950 --> 00:24:09,360
And, most important,
448
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:12,000
if anything should
happen to this pastry cook,
449
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:16,870
tomorrow morning at seven
his shop will be closed.
450
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:19,590
Goodnight.
451
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,060
(a whistle signal)
452
00:25:37,430 --> 00:25:38,480
Cyrano. Help!
453
00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:43,580
Look out behind you!
454
00:26:22,750 --> 00:26:23,810
I have been robbed.
455
00:26:24,370 --> 00:26:26,070
- There are no hundred here.
456
00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:32,360
It's, it's, it's...
457
00:26:33,820 --> 00:26:35,230
Be quick. Inside.
458
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,550
Bolt the door!
459
00:26:48,510 --> 00:26:49,310
Ah!
460
00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:08,660
Yah!
461
00:27:10,460 --> 00:27:12,210
(ruffians shouting)
462
00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:01,010
Ah!
463
00:28:03,860 --> 00:28:04,560
Awk.
464
00:28:05,860 --> 00:28:08,030
(ruffians shouting)
465
00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:17,280
(Le Bret)
- Cyrano!
466
00:28:17,310 --> 00:28:18,320
- Hold!
467
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:34,330
Ah.
468
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,420
How do you feel?
469
00:28:37,460 --> 00:28:39,540
Oh, pleasantly exhilarated.
470
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:42,990
- Come, I know a little tavern not far...
- Where's Ragueneau?
471
00:28:43,310 --> 00:28:46,320
Ragueneau?
Ragueneau!
472
00:28:46,730 --> 00:28:49,510
Little boy, come out.
All's well!
473
00:28:50,330 --> 00:28:51,990
- Is it over?
- All over.
474
00:28:52,220 --> 00:28:53,020
Really?
475
00:28:54,500 --> 00:28:55,340
So soon?
476
00:28:55,370 --> 00:28:56,140
Ha, ha, ha.
477
00:28:56,170 --> 00:28:59,480
Oh, if only I'd had my sword.
How many did we kill?
478
00:28:59,510 --> 00:29:00,330
Oh, about eight.
479
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:00,960
Eight.
480
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,410
Eight!
481
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,420
Ohhhh.
482
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,910
This.....gentleman
begins to annoy me.
483
00:29:31,980 --> 00:29:33,630
(Ragueneau is a poet, too.)
484
00:29:35,060 --> 00:29:40,010
No. The sauce and meat must rhyme.
Add a pinch of marigold and thyme.
485
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,960
Your house, of course, needs a stronger roof.
Eh? There's proof.
486
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:45,830
Cyrano.
487
00:29:46,830 --> 00:29:47,500
Cyrano.
488
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,100
Come in and eat.
489
00:29:49,130 --> 00:29:51,110
- What time is it?
- Not quite seven.
490
00:29:51,130 --> 00:29:54,140
Oh, now, please, Cyrano.
A man without breakfast is like...
491
00:29:54,180 --> 00:29:56,720
No.
Could she have changed her mind?
492
00:29:56,750 --> 00:29:57,920
Aw, she wouldn't dare.
493
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,900
We were magnificent last night.
494
00:30:00,370 --> 00:30:01,830
And at the theater, too.
495
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,320
'Then, as I end the refrain'....
496
00:30:04,350 --> 00:30:07,390
When she arrives.
Where can we converse undisturbed?
497
00:30:07,420 --> 00:30:09,190
Wherever you like.
My shop is yours.
498
00:30:09,310 --> 00:30:11,900
The little dining room
is quite romantic.
499
00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:14,490
'Thrust home!'
Yea gods, what a line.
500
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,650
- 'Then as I end the re....'
- Vanish.
501
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:18,110
- Uh, huh, she's come?
- Shhhh.
502
00:30:18,140 --> 00:30:18,920
I swear.
503
00:30:27,340 --> 00:30:28,170
Welcome.
504
00:30:38,470 --> 00:30:40,510
- A pardon, one word.
- Oh, yes?
505
00:30:40,550 --> 00:30:41,520
Have you a good digestion?
506
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,430
Oh, wonderful.
507
00:30:43,290 --> 00:30:48,800
Eh, here are some éclairs.
Uh, creampuffs.
508
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,160
Some, uh, jellyrolls.
And do you like nature?
509
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,400
I adore it.
510
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,760
Go out and eat these in the sunshine.
Do not return.
511
00:30:56,790 --> 00:30:57,440
But why?
512
00:30:57,470 --> 00:30:58,910
Until you have finished them.
513
00:30:58,940 --> 00:31:00,340
(outside)
- What do I do then?
514
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,750
(door closes)
515
00:31:09,970 --> 00:31:13,000
Blessed above all others be the hour
when you remember to remember me,
516
00:31:13,230 --> 00:31:15,800
and came to tell me......what?
517
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,750
To tell you that....
518
00:31:19,060 --> 00:31:21,810
Before I dare tell you I....
519
00:31:22,020 --> 00:31:24,850
Are you, I wonder, still
the same big brother almost
520
00:31:24,890 --> 00:31:26,720
that you used to be
when we were children,
521
00:31:26,750 --> 00:31:29,570
playing by the pond
in the old garden down there?
522
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,570
At Bergerac.
Those lovely summers.
523
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,700
You use to make swords
out of bulrushes.
524
00:31:33,740 --> 00:31:35,810
And you, dandelions
also golden hair.
525
00:31:35,890 --> 00:31:37,930
In those days
I could tell you everything.
526
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,860
And you did
everything I wished.
527
00:31:40,060 --> 00:31:44,830
Little Roxane, a sweet tyrone
with short skirts and long hair.
528
00:31:44,860 --> 00:31:45,780
Was I pretty?
529
00:31:49,830 --> 00:31:51,270
Not too plain.
530
00:31:52,150 --> 00:31:54,490
Sometimes when you had fallen
or hurt your hand,
531
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,670
you used to come running to me,
and I would be your mother and say,
532
00:31:57,710 --> 00:32:02,770
oh, with a very grownup voice,
'Now, what have you been doing to yourself?'
533
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,300
'Let me see.'
534
00:32:05,890 --> 00:32:07,060
- Oh!
- No one that.
535
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:08,230
Wait, let me see.
536
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,540
Still. At your age?
537
00:32:12,010 --> 00:32:13,810
Now, how did you do that?
538
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,910
Playing with the big boys
at the Place de Neanne.
539
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:18,410
Come here.
540
00:32:19,330 --> 00:32:21,020
Such a wise little mother.
541
00:32:21,030 --> 00:32:24,740
And tell me, while I wash this
blood away, how many you played with?
542
00:32:24,770 --> 00:32:26,840
- Oh, about a hundred.
- A hundred?
543
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,950
- More or less.
- It can't be.
544
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:31,080
No.
545
00:32:31,670 --> 00:32:33,720
Tell me what you were
going to tell me.....
546
00:32:34,130 --> 00:32:35,320
if you dared.
547
00:32:36,190 --> 00:32:38,060
I think I do dare, now.
548
00:32:38,860 --> 00:32:41,450
It seems so like
those happy days long ago.
549
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,780
Yes, I dare.
550
00:32:44,350 --> 00:32:47,190
Listen....I love someone.
551
00:32:47,850 --> 00:32:48,440
Yes?
552
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,150
Someone who does not know.
553
00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:51,340
Yes?
554
00:32:51,450 --> 00:32:54,970
Someone who loves me, too,
but is afraid of me and keeps away
555
00:32:55,010 --> 00:32:56,340
and never says one word.
556
00:32:57,570 --> 00:32:58,270
(softly)
Yes.
557
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,210
Give my that hand.
558
00:33:01,870 --> 00:33:03,080
Why, how hot it is.
559
00:33:04,390 --> 00:33:06,390
Yes, he loves me.
I am sure of it.
560
00:33:06,740 --> 00:33:07,530
(softly)
Yes.
561
00:33:08,110 --> 00:33:10,730
And he is a soldier, too,
in your own regiment,
562
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,710
your own company.
563
00:33:11,740 --> 00:33:12,750
(loud)
Yes.
564
00:33:13,340 --> 00:33:14,480
Such a man.
565
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,280
He is proud, noble, young, brave,
566
00:33:18,610 --> 00:33:19,700
beautiful!
567
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:22,550
(softly)
Beautiful.
568
00:33:25,180 --> 00:33:26,040
What's the matter?
569
00:33:26,460 --> 00:33:27,160
Oh, nothing.
570
00:33:28,110 --> 00:33:30,210
It's this, my hand.
571
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,280
I love him.
That is all.
572
00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:38,230
And I have never seen him
anywhere except in the theater.
573
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,710
You have never spoken?
574
00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:42,790
Only with our hearts.
575
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,080
Well, then, how do you know?
576
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:50,270
Well, people talk about people,
and I hear things, and...
577
00:33:51,370 --> 00:33:52,700
and I know.
578
00:33:53,890 --> 00:33:55,540
(firmly)
You say he is in the guards?
579
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,530
His name?
580
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,270
Baron Christian de Neuvillette.
581
00:34:02,790 --> 00:34:03,910
You know him?
582
00:34:04,290 --> 00:34:05,650
He is not in the guards.
583
00:34:05,690 --> 00:34:07,020
Yes, since last week.
584
00:34:07,770 --> 00:34:09,550
He is only lately
come to Paris...
585
00:34:09,730 --> 00:34:11,140
from Normandy.
586
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,070
So soon.
So soon we lose our hearts.
587
00:34:15,570 --> 00:34:16,160
What...
(door opens)
588
00:34:16,190 --> 00:34:17,220
(Duenna)
- Monsieur de Bergerac
589
00:34:17,250 --> 00:34:18,850
- I have eaten all the cakes.
590
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,280
Good.
Now, go out and enjoy nature.
591
00:34:23,020 --> 00:34:26,110
But my dear child, you love
only words, wit, poetry.
592
00:34:26,150 --> 00:34:29,950
Why, for all you know,
the man may be a savage or a fool.
593
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:34,290
Not with such eyes.
I read his soul in them.
594
00:34:35,270 --> 00:34:38,360
Yes, all our souls are
written in our eyes.
595
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,720
And you have brought
me here to tell me this?
596
00:34:42,980 --> 00:34:45,890
I do not yet quite understand,
madam, the reason for your confidence.
597
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:52,640
They say, that in your company,
it frightens me, you are all Gascon.
598
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,850
We pick a quarrel with any outsider
who intrudes himself.
599
00:34:54,890 --> 00:34:56,250
Is that what you have heard?
600
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,150
- I'm so afraid for him.
- Not without reason.
601
00:34:59,190 --> 00:35:03,730
And I thought you...
it's you whom they all respect and fear.
602
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,590
You want me to defend
your little Baron?
603
00:35:08,630 --> 00:35:09,740
Will you?
604
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:11,670
Just for me.
605
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,440
Because I have always
been your friend.
606
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,790
And this is what
you want of me?
607
00:35:16,820 --> 00:35:18,430
Will you be his friend?
608
00:35:20,450 --> 00:35:22,200
I will be his friend.
609
00:35:22,230 --> 00:35:23,040
And never let him
fight a duel.
610
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,060
No, never.
611
00:35:24,090 --> 00:35:24,750
Promise?
612
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:26,980
I promise.
613
00:35:27,420 --> 00:35:30,860
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
I knew I could rely on you.
614
00:35:33,930 --> 00:35:35,410
Well, now I must go.
615
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,480
Oh, you never told
me about last night.
616
00:35:43,970 --> 00:35:45,790
Why, you must
have been a hero.
617
00:35:45,820 --> 00:35:50,240
Have write and tell me all about it,
and...about himself.
618
00:35:51,420 --> 00:35:54,330
Oh, you are a darling.
We are great friends, are we not?
619
00:35:54,860 --> 00:35:56,330
He must write to me.
620
00:35:58,390 --> 00:36:01,490
A hundred men against one.
You shall tell me the whole story
621
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:02,980
someday when we have time.
622
00:36:06,570 --> 00:36:10,170
A hundred men.
What courage!
623
00:36:14,030 --> 00:36:16,810
I have done better.
624
00:36:21,820 --> 00:36:22,450
Well?
625
00:36:24,890 --> 00:36:26,050
Let us leave this place.
626
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,620
But the whole company
is on its way here.
627
00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:28,330
Oh, no.
628
00:36:28,370 --> 00:36:30,870
On my heels. Naturally I told
them all about last night.
629
00:36:30,900 --> 00:36:31,880
They're wild.
630
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:32,830
Here they are.
631
00:36:32,860 --> 00:36:35,420
- Yes, but, why did you?
- Perhaps I can stop them.
632
00:36:36,210 --> 00:36:36,870
Never mind.
633
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,220
Cyrano!
634
00:36:39,260 --> 00:36:46,070
(greetings and cheers to Cyrano)
635
00:36:49,130 --> 00:36:51,570
Eight dead men in the street.
Scandalous.
636
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,010
You know my edict
against dueling, nephew.
637
00:36:54,050 --> 00:36:55,580
I expect to have it enforced.
638
00:36:55,610 --> 00:36:58,940
Furthermore, I wish to know
who was responsible for last night's
639
00:36:58,970 --> 00:37:00,410
outrage at the Place de Neanne.
640
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:01,840
I understand, Your Eminence.
641
00:37:02,050 --> 00:37:04,180
Very well.
And now I have news
642
00:37:04,210 --> 00:37:06,310
that should be more
to you liking.
643
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:13,410
I fear, in confidence, our
uneasy armistice with Spain is doomed.
644
00:37:13,450 --> 00:37:14,410
My colonelcy?
645
00:37:14,450 --> 00:37:16,670
You commission has been prepared.
646
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:18,890
Oh, thank you, uncle, thank you.
647
00:37:19,230 --> 00:37:20,630
Oh, one thing more.
648
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,600
Last night at the theater,
the duel in rhyme,
649
00:37:24,790 --> 00:37:26,970
that guardsman with a nose.
650
00:37:27,010 --> 00:37:30,240
- Bergerac, that impossible Gascon.
- Yes, impossible.
651
00:37:30,260 --> 00:37:32,300
- His treatment of Montfleury.
- Abominable.
652
00:37:32,330 --> 00:37:35,230
- The arrogance with which he closed the play.
- Incredible.
653
00:37:35,260 --> 00:37:38,130
- It will be a miracle if the Vicomte survives.
- A sorrow.
654
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,720
What will you do
with him, Your Eminence?
655
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,100
I? Nothing.
656
00:37:41,140 --> 00:37:43,290
I thought I might
leave that to you.
657
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,500
To me?
658
00:37:44,530 --> 00:37:48,270
Yes. Place him somewhere
in your service,
659
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:49,890
with a comfortable allowance.
660
00:37:49,930 --> 00:37:51,390
He looked a little threadbare.
661
00:37:51,430 --> 00:37:55,020
I...You...But, Your Eminence.
You detest dueling.
662
00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:55,960
Of course I do.
663
00:37:56,350 --> 00:37:58,070
Why didn't you prevent it?
664
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,350
I should much prefer
that monsieur de Beregrac
665
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,300
live by the pen,
rather than die by the sword.
666
00:38:06,590 --> 00:38:08,470
Do you not agree, Antoine?
667
00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:12,560
By all means, Your Eminence.
By all means.
668
00:38:14,830 --> 00:38:21,650
'And then, as I end the refrain...
thrust home.'
669
00:38:24,790 --> 00:38:28,740
(Carousing at Ragueneau's)
670
00:38:33,220 --> 00:38:39,860
(noisy celebration of Cyrano's
defeat of 'a hundred' ruffians)
671
00:38:44,210 --> 00:38:46,580
(Antoine Comte de Guiche enters)
672
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:48,620
Monsieur de Bergerac.
673
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,390
Your Excellency.
674
00:38:51,970 --> 00:38:54,750
I have come to express my....
675
00:38:54,790 --> 00:38:58,550
admiration for both
your exploits last night.
676
00:38:58,590 --> 00:39:01,290
Indeed. Thank you.
677
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,900
My dear fellow,
we may have had our differences,
678
00:39:04,930 --> 00:39:07,550
but I am disposed
to forget them.
679
00:39:07,570 --> 00:39:09,710
That is very generous
of you, sir.
680
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:10,560
No, truly.
681
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,970
You are, it seems, a man
of many skills.
682
00:39:14,010 --> 00:39:17,350
A rare combination
soldier and poet.
683
00:39:18,060 --> 00:39:21,750
- Would you care to join my following?
- No, sir.
684
00:39:21,790 --> 00:39:23,260
I do not follow.
685
00:39:23,770 --> 00:39:25,980
I am told you have
written a play.
686
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,510
As you know, my uncle,
the Cardinal, is also a dramatist.
687
00:39:29,540 --> 00:39:30,990
I might help you there.
688
00:39:31,150 --> 00:39:34,050
Cyrano, now at last
you can have it performed.
689
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,200
Why not?
690
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:36,620
I could take it to him.
691
00:39:37,860 --> 00:39:39,330
Really?
692
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,460
Of course.
Let him rewrite a few lines
693
00:39:41,490 --> 00:39:43,770
here and there, and
he'll find a theater for you.
694
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,230
Rewrite...my lines?
695
00:39:47,670 --> 00:39:49,150
Impossible.
696
00:39:49,190 --> 00:39:52,040
Uh, when he likes a thing,
he pays well.
697
00:39:52,070 --> 00:39:53,240
Yes, but not so well as I.
698
00:39:53,270 --> 00:39:55,460
When I have made a line
that sings itself
699
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:57,220
I pay myself a hundred times.
700
00:39:57,250 --> 00:39:58,940
You are proud, my friend.
701
00:39:58,970 --> 00:40:00,020
You have observed that?
702
00:40:00,060 --> 00:40:02,460
- Cyrano.
See what we found in the street.
703
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:05,140
Plumes dropped in their flight
by those fine birds
704
00:40:05,170 --> 00:40:06,860
who showed their
tail feathers!
705
00:40:06,890 --> 00:40:08,590
(laughter)
706
00:40:08,620 --> 00:40:10,180
The man who hired
those scoundrels,
707
00:40:10,210 --> 00:40:12,010
he must be an
angry man today.
708
00:40:12,050 --> 00:40:13,430
Who was it?
Do you know?
709
00:40:13,850 --> 00:40:14,790
It was I.
710
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,870
I hired them to do the sort
of work we do not soil our hands with.
711
00:40:20,660 --> 00:40:22,940
Punishing an insolent poet.
712
00:40:22,970 --> 00:40:25,610
They ought to be mounted
before they spoil.
713
00:40:25,650 --> 00:40:27,850
(laughter)
What shall we do with them?
714
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:36,460
Sir, will you not return these
to your friends?
715
00:40:40,310 --> 00:40:42,190
Have you read Don Quixote?
716
00:40:42,230 --> 00:40:44,650
I have and found
myself the hero.
717
00:40:44,690 --> 00:40:47,770
Be so good as to read once more
the capture of the windmills.
718
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,010
Chapter 13.
719
00:40:50,150 --> 00:40:52,200
Windmills, remember,
if you fight with them...
720
00:40:52,230 --> 00:40:56,590
may swing round their huge arms
and cast you down into the mire.
721
00:40:56,630 --> 00:40:59,010
Or up among the stars.
722
00:41:01,250 --> 00:41:01,970
Gentlemen.
723
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:03,320
Gentlemen.
724
00:41:03,570 --> 00:41:04,550
Gentlemen.
725
00:41:05,220 --> 00:41:06,610
You've done it, now.
726
00:41:06,650 --> 00:41:07,860
You've made your fortune.
727
00:41:07,890 --> 00:41:09,070
He was willing to forget.
728
00:41:09,490 --> 00:41:11,180
There you go again, growling.
729
00:41:11,210 --> 00:41:13,460
Yesss,
this latest pose of yours,
730
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:16,070
ruining every opportunity
that comes you way,
731
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:17,100
becomes exaggerated.
732
00:41:17,140 --> 00:41:18,250
Very well, then, I exaggerate.
733
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:19,710
There are certain things
in this world
734
00:41:19,740 --> 00:41:21,100
a man does well
to carry to extremes.
735
00:41:21,140 --> 00:41:23,710
Your precious independence.
Your white plume.
736
00:41:23,740 --> 00:41:25,410
How do you expect
to succeed in life?
737
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,400
What would you have me do?
738
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,590
Seek for the patronage
of some great man
739
00:41:28,630 --> 00:41:31,880
and like a creeping vine
on a tall tree crawl upward
740
00:41:31,910 --> 00:41:33,520
where I cannot stand alone?
741
00:41:33,940 --> 00:41:34,850
No, thank you.
742
00:41:35,210 --> 00:41:39,880
Be a buffoon in the vile hope
of teasing out a smile on some cold face.
743
00:41:40,340 --> 00:41:41,710
No, thank you.
744
00:41:42,050 --> 00:41:44,260
Eat a toad for breakfast
every morning.
745
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:47,530
Make my knees calloused.
Cultivate a supple spine.
746
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,320
Wear out my belly
groveling in the dust.
747
00:41:49,590 --> 00:41:50,400
No, thank you.
748
00:41:50,860 --> 00:41:54,880
With my left hand scratch the back
of any swine that roots up gold for me
749
00:41:54,910 --> 00:41:58,910
while my right, too proud to know
his partner's business, takes in the fee.
750
00:41:58,940 --> 00:41:59,920
No, thank you.
751
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,810
Shall I use the fire God gave me
to burn incense all day long?
752
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,020
No, thank you.
753
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,410
Struggle to insinuate my name
into the columns of the Gazette?
754
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:13,250
Calculate, scheme, be afraid?
Love more to make a visit than a poem?
755
00:42:13,290 --> 00:42:15,990
Seek introductions, favors,
influences?
756
00:42:16,020 --> 00:42:17,050
No, thank you.
757
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,270
No, I thank you, and
again I thank you.
758
00:42:23,930 --> 00:42:30,320
But, to sing, to laugh, to dream,
to walk in my own way,
759
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,510
free with and eye
to see things as they are.
760
00:42:33,380 --> 00:42:35,240
A voice that means manhood.
761
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,640
To cut my have
the right shoes.
762
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:46,150
And a word, a yes, a no,
to fight, or write,
763
00:42:46,830 --> 00:42:48,440
but never to make
a line I have not heard
764
00:42:48,470 --> 00:42:49,780
in my own heart.
765
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,380
To travel any
road under the sun,
766
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,780
under the stars,
767
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,520
nor care if fame or fortune
lie beyond the bourne.
768
00:43:00,370 --> 00:43:02,250
Yet, with all modesty to say,
769
00:43:03,250 --> 00:43:05,830
my soul be satisfied
with flowers,
770
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:08,000
with weeds,
771
00:43:09,210 --> 00:43:10,840
with thorns, even,
772
00:43:11,910 --> 00:43:14,940
but gather them in the one garden
you may call your own.
773
00:43:16,230 --> 00:43:18,450
In a word, I'm too proud
to be a parasite.
774
00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:21,470
And if mine intellect the germ
that grows towering to heaven
775
00:43:21,500 --> 00:43:22,770
like the mountain pine
776
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,570
I stand not high, it may be,
777
00:43:27,260 --> 00:43:28,460
but alone.
778
00:43:28,500 --> 00:43:31,170
Alone, yes, but why
go about making enemies?
779
00:43:32,100 --> 00:43:35,850
Watching other people
making friends...everywhere,
780
00:43:35,890 --> 00:43:37,980
as a dog makes friends.
781
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,550
I mark the manner of
these canine courtesies,
782
00:43:41,580 --> 00:43:46,770
and think, here comes,
thank heaven, another enemy.
783
00:43:46,810 --> 00:43:52,760
Yes, tell this to all the world,
and then to me say very softly
784
00:43:52,790 --> 00:43:55,540
that she loves you not.
785
00:43:58,830 --> 00:44:00,940
Let me be alone
for a moment.
786
00:44:03,990 --> 00:44:05,050
Cyrano, wait.
787
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,760
Give us your story
of the fight.
788
00:44:07,530 --> 00:44:08,400
Presently.
789
00:44:08,430 --> 00:44:10,010
No, the story, now!
790
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,970
Oh, let him alone.
There's time enough.
791
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,360
I want it now!
792
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,090
As an example for that young
tadpole sneaking out the doorway.
793
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,040
You, there.
794
00:44:25,310 --> 00:44:26,820
Are you addressing me?
795
00:44:28,190 --> 00:44:32,770
Yes, you flat-footed
Norman farmer.
796
00:44:36,190 --> 00:44:37,470
You wish something of me?
797
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:39,950
Listen, Monsieur de...de...de
whatever your name is.
798
00:44:39,980 --> 00:44:40,920
de Neuvillette!
799
00:44:41,090 --> 00:44:43,230
Baron Christan de Neuvillette.
800
00:44:43,270 --> 00:44:45,370
Very well, de Neuvillette.
801
00:44:45,670 --> 00:44:48,080
As you are a newcomer here,
you should know there is a
802
00:44:48,110 --> 00:44:52,300
certain subject or object, if you prefer,
that is never mentioned among us.
803
00:44:52,340 --> 00:44:53,340
And that is....?
804
00:44:53,370 --> 00:44:54,500
Look at me!
805
00:44:54,540 --> 00:44:55,980
(touching his nose)
806
00:44:56,020 --> 00:44:57,360
You understand?
807
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:58,670
You mean....?
808
00:44:58,700 --> 00:45:01,090
Thus we never speak that word.
809
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,390
To even breathe it is
to have to do with him.
810
00:45:04,420 --> 00:45:08,760
He has exterminated several
whose mere tone of voice suggested...
811
00:45:08,790 --> 00:45:12,920
Would you die before your time?
Just mention anything convex.
812
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,530
Or cartilaginous.
813
00:45:14,570 --> 00:45:18,540
One word. One syllable.
One gesture. Nay, one sneeze.
814
00:45:18,570 --> 00:45:21,330
And your handkerchief
becomes your winding sheet.
815
00:45:24,110 --> 00:45:24,920
Captain.
816
00:45:25,430 --> 00:45:26,290
Sir?
817
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:30,090
What is the proper thing to do
when Gascons grow too boastful?
818
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,820
Prove to them that one may
be a Norman and still have courage.
819
00:45:33,850 --> 00:45:35,100
I thank you.
820
00:45:41,330 --> 00:45:43,360
Come on, Cyrano, your story.
821
00:45:44,420 --> 00:45:47,330
(shouts of encouragement)
822
00:45:47,740 --> 00:45:49,540
Now, let me see.
Where shall we begin?
823
00:45:50,450 --> 00:45:52,510
I followed with our host
to meet those scoundrels
824
00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:53,640
not knowing where
they might attack.
825
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,340
No lamps in those narrow
back streets.
826
00:45:57,500 --> 00:45:58,600
No moon in the sky.
827
00:45:59,340 --> 00:46:01,220
Dark. Everything dark.
828
00:46:01,430 --> 00:46:04,040
It was so dark, Mon Dieux,
you could not see beyond...
829
00:46:04,070 --> 00:46:05,470
Your nose!
830
00:46:05,850 --> 00:46:08,480
(Christian shows his courage.)
831
00:46:25,250 --> 00:46:33,250
Who...is that...man...there?
832
00:46:34,260 --> 00:46:35,380
- A new recruit.
833
00:46:36,070 --> 00:46:37,550
- Arrived last week.
834
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,080
A recruit, eh?
835
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:41,940
Ha, ha---.
836
00:46:41,970 --> 00:46:45,320
His name is Christian de Neuvillette.
837
00:46:45,350 --> 00:46:48,660
(Cyrano remembers his
promise to Roxane.)
838
00:46:58,510 --> 00:46:59,570
I see.
839
00:47:02,670 --> 00:47:03,510
Very well.
840
00:47:04,850 --> 00:47:06,470
As I was saying.
841
00:47:10,830 --> 00:47:11,930
It grew dark.
842
00:47:12,460 --> 00:47:15,180
You could not see
your hand before your eyes.
843
00:47:16,310 --> 00:47:19,470
I marched on thinking our all for
the sake of one amateur poet
844
00:47:19,510 --> 00:47:22,660
- who wrote a verse whenever he took a..
- A nose full.
845
00:47:24,370 --> 00:47:25,770
...whenever he took a notion.,
846
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,600
and might antagonize
some dangerous man.
847
00:47:28,630 --> 00:47:30,830
One powerful enough
to make me pay...
848
00:47:30,860 --> 00:47:31,980
Through the nose!
849
00:47:32,010 --> 00:47:33,090
...pay the piper!
850
00:47:33,410 --> 00:47:35,430
After all, I thought,
why am I putting in my..
851
00:47:35,470 --> 00:47:36,310
- Nose!
852
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:39,170
...putting in my oar in a quarrel
that was none of mine,
853
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,240
however now that I am here,
I may as well go through with it.
854
00:47:41,270 --> 00:47:42,840
Come Gascon, do your duty.
855
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,850
Suddenly a sword
flashed in the dark!
856
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:45,810
I caught it fair...
857
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:46,810
On the nose!
858
00:47:47,940 --> 00:47:49,130
...on my blade!
859
00:47:49,170 --> 00:47:50,530
Before I knew it,
there I was...
860
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:51,690
Rubbing noses!
861
00:47:51,730 --> 00:47:53,840
...crossing swords with
harvard's joy once.
862
00:47:53,870 --> 00:47:54,940
I had the bottom then...
863
00:47:54,980 --> 00:47:55,900
A nosegay!
864
00:47:55,940 --> 00:47:57,160
...a monstrous crab tree.
865
00:47:57,610 --> 00:48:00,170
(breathing heavily)
He went down for as a wave.
866
00:48:00,380 --> 00:48:00,990
I charged...
867
00:48:01,030 --> 00:48:02,590
Who was in the air hard.
868
00:48:02,620 --> 00:48:03,450
...at the two of them.
869
00:48:04,750 --> 00:48:05,900
Another lunged,
and I parried...
870
00:48:05,940 --> 00:48:07,220
Through your nose!
871
00:48:07,250 --> 00:48:09,310
Right out of here!
All of you go!
872
00:48:09,340 --> 00:48:10,120
Leave me with him.
873
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,660
To my arms, sir.
You have courage.
874
00:48:28,690 --> 00:48:29,880
- That pleases me.
- Why?
875
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,820
Come, do you not know
I am her brother?
876
00:48:31,850 --> 00:48:32,460
Whose?
877
00:48:32,500 --> 00:48:34,250
Hers. Roxane.
878
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:38,390
Brother?
879
00:48:39,260 --> 00:48:40,170
You?
880
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,150
Well, a distant cousin.
Much the same.
881
00:48:42,510 --> 00:48:44,450
- Then she has told you?
- Everything.
882
00:48:44,580 --> 00:48:46,680
- She loves me?
- Perhaps.
883
00:48:47,610 --> 00:48:49,950
My dear sir, more than I can say.
I am honored.
884
00:48:49,990 --> 00:48:52,040
- Rather sudden.
- Oh, please, forgive me.
885
00:48:52,260 --> 00:48:54,270
If you knew how
much I have admired you.
886
00:48:54,310 --> 00:48:57,620
- Yes, yes, and all those noses.
- Please. I apologize.
887
00:48:59,060 --> 00:49:00,680
Roxane expects a letter.
888
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:02,300
- From me?
- Yes, why not?
889
00:49:02,340 --> 00:49:03,180
Oh,, No.
890
00:49:03,530 --> 00:49:05,880
- Once I write, that ruins everything.
- Why?
891
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,020
Because, any schoolboy can write
to her more gracefully than I.
892
00:49:09,590 --> 00:49:10,730
A fool!
893
00:49:10,900 --> 00:49:14,560
- You did not attack me like a fool.
- Anyone can pick a quarrel.
894
00:49:14,740 --> 00:49:16,580
No, I'm never at loss
for words among men,
895
00:49:16,610 --> 00:49:21,260
but with any women...
paralyzed...speechless, dumb.
896
00:49:21,460 --> 00:49:23,600
I'm one of those
stammering idiots
897
00:49:23,630 --> 00:49:25,270
who can not court a woman.
898
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:26,170
Really?
899
00:49:26,810 --> 00:49:28,700
As for myself,
it seems to me that
900
00:49:28,730 --> 00:49:32,300
given the opportunity,
and if I put my mind to it,
901
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,390
I could do that..
rather well.
902
00:49:35,420 --> 00:49:37,870
Oh, is I had words to say
what I have here!
903
00:49:37,900 --> 00:49:39,450
If I were handsome
like you.
904
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,780
Together, we could make
one mighty hero of romance.
905
00:49:43,820 --> 00:49:45,330
If only I had your wit.
906
00:49:50,570 --> 00:49:51,710
Borrow it, then.
907
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:53,150
What?
908
00:49:54,670 --> 00:49:55,490
Tell me,
909
00:49:56,910 --> 00:49:59,770
would you dare repeat to her
the words I gave you day by day?
910
00:50:00,330 --> 00:50:02,420
Send to her
the letters that I write?
911
00:50:02,460 --> 00:50:04,800
I mean, that Roxane
should have no disillusionment.
912
00:50:05,180 --> 00:50:06,820
Come, shall we win her
both together?
913
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:07,800
For you?
914
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,970
- Why, Cyrano...
- Christian, why not?
915
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,850
I...I'm afraid.
916
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,030
Afraid that when you
have her all alone, you will lose her.
917
00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:16,420
Have not fear,
it is your self she loves.
918
00:50:16,450 --> 00:50:17,920
Give her yourself.
919
00:50:17,950 --> 00:50:23,670
Put into words,
my words...upon your lips.
920
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:25,180
Will you?
921
00:50:26,780 --> 00:50:28,030
Will you?
922
00:50:28,910 --> 00:50:30,740
Does it mean
so much to you?
923
00:50:30,770 --> 00:50:32,360
It means....
924
00:50:34,110 --> 00:50:37,060
It means a comedy,
a situation for a poet.
925
00:50:37,190 --> 00:50:38,350
Come, shall we collaborate?
926
00:50:38,390 --> 00:50:42,420
I'll be your cloak of darkness,
your enchanted sword,
927
00:50:42,460 --> 00:50:45,330
your ring to charm
the fairy princess.
928
00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:49,180
Think!
Is the prize not worth the danger?
929
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:52,980
My friend!
930
00:50:54,620 --> 00:50:55,740
My friend.
931
00:50:56,890 --> 00:51:00,100
Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
932
00:51:00,350 --> 00:51:03,650
Plucking the flowers,
we will keep the plant in bloom.
933
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,010
Thus do I love thee,
my darling.
934
00:51:08,890 --> 00:51:09,670
Idiot.
935
00:51:09,910 --> 00:51:12,200
There are a dozen
ways to read that line.
936
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:14,500
Can't you give it some meaning?
Any meaning!
937
00:51:14,530 --> 00:51:15,950
THUS do I love thee!
938
00:51:15,980 --> 00:51:17,280
Thus do "I" love thee.
939
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:18,550
Thus do I LOVE thee.
940
00:51:18,580 --> 00:51:20,930
Thus do I love THEE,
THEE, THEE.
941
00:51:22,580 --> 00:51:25,680
Who knows your smile
has known a perfect thing.
942
00:51:25,710 --> 00:51:28,400
You are a white rose,
wherein love lies in ambush
943
00:51:28,430 --> 00:51:30,180
for its natural prey.
944
00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:33,760
In the garden of my heart,
you are the most...
945
00:51:33,930 --> 00:51:35,680
eh, the most....
946
00:51:37,450 --> 00:51:39,750
fragrant blossom.
947
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,780
As the tender sapling
thirsts for rain,
948
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,900
as the eagle seeks the sky,
949
00:51:48,030 --> 00:51:51,050
as the wave
hurtles toward the shore,
950
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,990
my heart yearns for you.
951
00:51:54,460 --> 00:51:55,820
Good, good.
952
00:51:55,970 --> 00:51:58,740
You know, you're beginning
to have a feel for words.
953
00:51:58,770 --> 00:52:02,010
- Words. I'm sick of words.
- Those are your weapons.
954
00:52:02,050 --> 00:52:03,190
How else do you conquer?
955
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,130
Yes, but when, when?
956
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,190
They're fighting in the north, now.
You know that.
957
00:52:06,230 --> 00:52:07,690
The Regiment will be
called up any day,
958
00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:08,840
and I've never
even kissed her.
959
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,940
Patience, my boy, patience.
960
00:52:11,980 --> 00:52:13,110
I've been patient.
961
00:52:13,140 --> 00:52:16,280
Why, she sees the Compte de Guiche
as often as she does me.
962
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,120
Do you suppose
she's playing with me?
963
00:52:21,260 --> 00:52:22,500
Making a fool of me?
964
00:52:23,850 --> 00:52:24,880
Impossible.
965
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,210
How can you say?
How do you know?
966
00:52:27,210 --> 00:52:31,390
Cyrano, you have her confidence.
You could find out.
967
00:52:39,300 --> 00:52:40,690
Nonsense, I say.
968
00:52:42,260 --> 00:52:43,440
Oh, very well.
969
00:52:43,870 --> 00:52:45,190
I'll scout the terrain.
970
00:52:45,230 --> 00:52:47,200
Listen, Cyrano,
intelligently, discreetly.
971
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:48,160
Yes.
972
00:52:48,190 --> 00:52:49,340
With finesse.
973
00:52:52,010 --> 00:52:55,510
And, uh, what do you think
of Christian after all these weeks?
974
00:52:55,620 --> 00:52:58,030
He is beautiful,
but he's brilliant.
975
00:52:58,070 --> 00:52:59,760
- And I love him.
- Good!
976
00:52:59,870 --> 00:53:01,750
Uh, do you find him intellectual?
977
00:53:01,790 --> 00:53:03,600
- More so than you, even.
- Huh?
978
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,470
- Oh, I didn't mean.
- No, no, no, I am glad.
979
00:53:06,500 --> 00:53:09,290
No man ever so beautifully
said those things.
980
00:53:09,330 --> 00:53:11,900
Those pretty nothings
to everything.
981
00:53:12,310 --> 00:53:15,780
Sometimes, he,. he, he falls
into a reverie.
982
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,110
His inspiration..fails.
983
00:53:20,050 --> 00:53:23,940
But, then all at once,
he will say something absolutely...
984
00:53:23,980 --> 00:53:25,370
Ah!
985
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:26,760
Really?
986
00:53:27,470 --> 00:53:28,910
How like a man!
987
00:53:28,940 --> 00:53:32,220
You think because a man
has a handsome face he must be a fool.
988
00:53:33,330 --> 00:53:34,790
Not necessarily.
989
00:53:34,830 --> 00:53:38,410
Uh, he talks well about, uh,
matters of the heart?
990
00:53:38,450 --> 00:53:42,420
He does not talk.
He rhapsodizes. He dreams.
991
00:53:42,460 --> 00:53:46,360
Only the other night he said to me,
extemporaneously, mind you.
992
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:47,220
Oh, of course.
993
00:53:47,980 --> 00:53:50,660
'Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
994
00:53:50,700 --> 00:53:54,760
'Plucking the flowers
we will keep the plants in bloom.'
995
00:53:55,720 --> 00:53:56,730
Well?
996
00:53:56,770 --> 00:53:58,530
Umm, passable.
997
00:53:58,950 --> 00:54:00,010
He writes well?
998
00:54:00,050 --> 00:54:02,080
Wonderfully, listen:
999
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,510
'Knowing you have in store
more heart to give
1000
00:54:05,550 --> 00:54:08,160
- 'than I to find heart room...'
- The first he has too much heart,
1001
00:54:08,190 --> 00:54:10,400
then too little. Just how much heart
does he need?
1002
00:54:10,470 --> 00:54:11,740
You are teasing.
1003
00:54:11,870 --> 00:54:12,870
You are jealous!
1004
00:54:12,910 --> 00:54:13,690
Jealous?
1005
00:54:13,730 --> 00:54:14,440
Yes.
1006
00:54:14,470 --> 00:54:15,840
Poets are all alike.
1007
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:19,660
Would you dare
criticize these lines?
1008
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:25,100
'Only believe that unto you
my whole heart gives one cry.
1009
00:54:25,540 --> 00:54:29,470
'And writing, writes down
more than you receive.
1010
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,010
'Sending you kisses
through my fingertips.
1011
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,020
'Lady, oh, read my letter
with your lips.'
1012
00:54:39,340 --> 00:54:43,820
Yes, those last lines,
but he overwrites.
1013
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:44,970
Listen to this.
1014
00:54:45,010 --> 00:54:46,000
Do you know
them all by heart?
1015
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,070
Every one.
1016
00:54:47,110 --> 00:54:48,500
Well, I may call
that flattering.
1017
00:54:48,530 --> 00:54:49,310
He is a master.
1018
00:54:49,350 --> 00:54:51,850
- Oh, come..
- Yes, a master.
1019
00:54:51,860 --> 00:54:55,270
Huh, a master,...
if you will.
1020
00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:00,520
And, uh, when do you
bestow the laurel wreath?
1021
00:55:00,540 --> 00:55:05,290
How many prodigies of poetry
must this new Hercules perform?
1022
00:55:05,390 --> 00:55:06,490
I do not know.
1023
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:11,580
My friend, you men own the world
and all that's in it.
1024
00:55:12,020 --> 00:55:17,990
Woman is at best a prize, a property
valued much the same as a horse or a dog,
1025
00:55:18,150 --> 00:55:22,010
unlike the pear and sheen of skin
and soundness of teeth and limb.
1026
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:27,870
Well, if I must be chattel,
then the terms shall be mine,
1027
00:55:27,910 --> 00:55:31,480
and the price according
to my own values.
1028
00:55:31,510 --> 00:55:32,670
There.
1029
00:55:34,070 --> 00:55:35,460
I see.
1030
00:55:37,060 --> 00:55:39,880
Christian tells me
that you meet tonight.
1031
00:55:42,510 --> 00:55:45,210
What would you have him
speak about?
1032
00:55:46,230 --> 00:55:47,910
Oh, nothing,
1033
00:55:48,260 --> 00:55:49,530
and everything.
1034
00:55:49,980 --> 00:55:54,140
I shall say, speak to me
of love in your own words.
1035
00:55:54,550 --> 00:55:56,810
Improvise, rhapsodize.
1036
00:55:57,540 --> 00:55:58,790
Be eloquent.
1037
00:55:59,910 --> 00:56:01,540
But you will not tell him,
will you?
1038
00:56:01,570 --> 00:56:03,270
Ah, perish the thought.
1039
00:56:03,590 --> 00:56:06,370
Madame, Compte de Guiche.
1040
00:56:10,720 --> 00:56:12,820
(Sigh)
Madame.
1041
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:16,880
Monsieur.
1042
00:56:17,770 --> 00:56:18,770
Madame.
1043
00:56:21,570 --> 00:56:24,270
Monsieur.
(Crunch)
1044
00:56:33,430 --> 00:56:35,090
- Christian, quick.
- No.
1045
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,030
There's still time to learn your lines.
No.
1046
00:56:37,070 --> 00:56:39,760
I have some brilliant phrases for you,
brilliant, sensitive...
1047
00:56:39,790 --> 00:56:40,500
No.
1048
00:56:41,150 --> 00:56:42,160
I'll have not more of it.
1049
00:56:42,190 --> 00:56:44,250
Taking all my words, my sentences
all from you,
1050
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,490
- making our love a little comedy.
- Don't you real...
1051
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,480
It was a game at first,
but now she cares.
1052
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:49,390
Huh?
1053
00:56:49,430 --> 00:56:50,750
Thanks to you.
Uh.
1054
00:56:50,790 --> 00:56:53,060
I'm not afraid any longer.
I'll speak for myself, now.
1055
00:56:53,090 --> 00:56:53,720
Oh, undoubtedly.
1056
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,990
I will. You shall see!
1057
00:56:56,500 --> 00:56:59,110
Besides, I know enough
to take a woman in my arms,
1058
00:56:59,150 --> 00:57:00,870
and tonight, I will.
1059
00:57:04,070 --> 00:57:05,420
(knocking on door)
- Christian!
1060
00:57:05,450 --> 00:57:07,210
Thank you, my friend,
and goodbye.
1061
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:09,040
- Christian, I beg of you.
- Leave me!
1062
00:57:09,070 --> 00:57:10,830
- You're making a grave error.
- Go away!
1063
00:57:13,540 --> 00:57:14,540
So be it.
1064
00:57:16,950 --> 00:57:18,600
(door opens)
1065
00:57:20,300 --> 00:57:21,440
Christian.
1066
00:57:21,470 --> 00:57:22,580
Roxane.
1067
00:57:23,190 --> 00:57:25,330
I'm so glad you are early.
1068
00:57:26,430 --> 00:57:28,400
Let us stay out here
in the moonlight.
1069
00:57:29,150 --> 00:57:30,490
It's so pleasant.
1070
00:57:32,780 --> 00:57:33,630
Sit down.
1071
00:57:36,450 --> 00:57:37,720
There, so.
1072
00:57:40,770 --> 00:57:43,780
Now, speak to me.
1073
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:45,470
I love you.
1074
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,330
Yes, speak to me of love.
1075
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,390
I...love you.
1076
00:57:53,430 --> 00:57:55,640
Now, be eloquent.
Be brilliant for me.
1077
00:57:56,300 --> 00:57:57,940
Tonight of all nights.
1078
00:57:58,250 --> 00:58:01,560
I love you....so.
1079
00:58:03,610 --> 00:58:07,630
You have your scene.
Now, improvise, rhapsodize.
1080
00:58:07,660 --> 00:58:11,570
I love you...
very much!
1081
00:58:14,500 --> 00:58:17,600
I ask for cream,
and you give me milk and water.
1082
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:22,490
Tell me firstly,
how you love me.
1083
00:58:22,530 --> 00:58:23,780
Very much!
1084
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:26,440
Is that all you feel?
1085
00:58:26,470 --> 00:58:29,360
Your throat, if only
I might kiss it.
1086
00:58:29,390 --> 00:58:30,170
Christian!
1087
00:58:30,210 --> 00:58:31,520
But, Roxane, I love you.
1088
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:32,860
Again.
1089
00:58:32,890 --> 00:58:34,450
No, not again.
I do not love you.
1090
00:58:37,490 --> 00:58:38,540
That is better.
1091
00:58:39,380 --> 00:58:42,870
I...I adore you!
1092
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:43,870
Oh!
1093
00:58:44,570 --> 00:58:46,070
I know I grow absurd.
1094
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:48,870
And that distresses me as much
as if you had grown ugly!
1095
00:58:51,020 --> 00:58:54,910
Please. Gather your dreams
together into words.
1096
00:58:54,950 --> 00:58:57,830
I...um, I...
1097
00:58:57,870 --> 00:59:00,280
I know. You love me!
Good night!
1098
00:59:00,310 --> 00:59:01,440
Oh, but wait, please!
1099
00:59:01,470 --> 00:59:02,530
I was going to say...
1100
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:04,510
That you adore me.
Yes, I know that, too.
1101
00:59:04,540 --> 00:59:06,720
-No, go away.
- I....
1102
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,290
(door slams shut)
1103
00:59:25,170 --> 00:59:28,330
(Cyrano claps his hands)
1104
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:29,870
A great success.
1105
00:59:30,940 --> 00:59:31,720
Help me.
1106
00:59:31,750 --> 00:59:33,620
Not I.
Speak for yourself, my friend.
1107
00:59:33,660 --> 00:59:35,220
Why I...I can't.
1108
00:59:35,250 --> 00:59:38,040
Well, at least you know enough
to take a woman in your arms.
1109
00:59:38,070 --> 00:59:39,680
Oh, Cyrano, please!
1110
00:59:39,790 --> 00:59:41,610
What, and make your love
a little comedy.
1111
00:59:41,650 --> 00:59:44,060
Cyrano, I cannot live
unless I win her back, now.
1112
00:59:44,100 --> 00:59:44,610
This moment!
1113
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,890
This moment. How the devil
am I to teach you now, this mo...
1114
00:59:47,980 --> 00:59:48,940
(Christian)
Her window.
1115
00:59:49,510 --> 00:59:51,690
- Help me, Cyrano, help me.
- Shhhh.
1116
00:59:53,290 --> 00:59:54,800
(Cyrano)
It does seem fairly dark.
1117
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:55,780
(Christian)
Well? Well?
1118
00:59:57,490 --> 00:59:59,190
(Cyrano)
It is more than
you deserve.
1119
01:00:00,550 --> 01:00:02,010
(Cyrano)
I must try out what
can be done.
1120
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:03,040
(Cyrano)
Stand over there.
1121
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,500
(Cyrano)
Idiot, here, before the balcony.
I'll whisper you what to say.
1122
01:00:09,540 --> 01:00:11,380
- She'll hear..
- Shhhh. Call her.
1123
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:13,690
(Christian)
Roxane.
1124
01:00:14,950 --> 01:00:17,330
(Christian louder)
Roxane.
1125
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,220
(balcony window opens)
1126
01:00:21,690 --> 01:00:22,760
Who's calling?
1127
01:00:23,430 --> 01:00:24,240
Christian.
1128
01:00:24,570 --> 01:00:25,670
You again.
1129
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:27,420
I...had to tell you.
1130
01:00:27,710 --> 01:00:29,340
No. Go away.
You tell me nothing.
1131
01:00:29,370 --> 01:00:30,390
Please.
1132
01:00:30,430 --> 01:00:32,240
You do not
love me anymore.
1133
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:34,810
(Christian copies Cyrano)
No, not anymore.
1134
01:00:35,530 --> 01:00:37,340
I love you evermore,
1135
01:00:38,150 --> 01:00:40,050
and evermore and more.
1136
01:00:41,190 --> 01:00:42,640
Oh, a little better.
1137
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,160
Love grows and struggles
like an angry child.
1138
01:00:48,710 --> 01:00:50,620
Breaking my heart.
1139
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,070
His cradle...
1140
01:00:53,110 --> 01:00:54,630
Better still.
1141
01:00:55,230 --> 01:00:57,390
But such a babe is dangerous.
1142
01:00:57,910 --> 01:01:00,140
Why not have
smothered it newborn?
1143
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:03,290
And so I do.
1144
01:01:03,650 --> 01:01:05,290
And yet he lives.
1145
01:01:06,340 --> 01:01:08,910
I found as you sha...
you shall find
1146
01:01:10,250 --> 01:01:14,400
this newborn babe...
and infant Hercules!
1147
01:01:14,900 --> 01:01:15,430
Good.
1148
01:01:15,460 --> 01:01:16,820
Strong enough at birth
1149
01:01:17,740 --> 01:01:19,600
to strangle
those two serpents
1150
01:01:20,010 --> 01:01:20,550
doubt and
1151
01:01:20,590 --> 01:01:21,090
<i>What?</i>
1152
01:01:21,250 --> 01:01:22,600
pride!
1153
01:01:23,410 --> 01:01:24,440
Why, very good.
1154
01:01:25,330 --> 01:01:27,880
Only, tell me why
you speak so haltingly.
1155
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,580
Has your imagination
gone....lame?
1156
01:01:33,260 --> 01:01:35,130
(Cyrano)
This grows too difficult.
1157
01:01:35,530 --> 01:01:38,320
Your words tonight
hesitate, why?
1158
01:01:38,630 --> 01:01:42,970
Through the warm summer gloom,
they grope in darkness
1159
01:01:43,170 --> 01:01:44,690
toward the light of you.
1160
01:01:46,010 --> 01:01:47,860
My words are
heavy with honey,
1161
01:01:47,900 --> 01:01:49,360
like returning bees.
1162
01:01:50,190 --> 01:01:52,310
Yet they must fly so high.
1163
01:01:52,530 --> 01:01:54,140
Come nearer then.
Stand you on the bench.
1164
01:01:54,170 --> 01:01:55,000
No.
1165
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:56,190
Then I'll come down.
1166
01:01:56,230 --> 01:01:57,110
NO!
1167
01:01:57,570 --> 01:01:59,380
And why so great a no?
1168
01:02:00,490 --> 01:02:02,920
Let me enjoy the one
moment I ever...
1169
01:02:03,710 --> 01:02:07,110
My one chance
to speak to you...unseen.
1170
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:08,290
Unseen?
1171
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:09,740
Yes. Yes.
1172
01:02:10,070 --> 01:02:12,380
Night making all things
dimly beautiful
1173
01:02:12,410 --> 01:02:13,770
one veil over us both.
1174
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,040
You need no eyes
to hear my heart.
1175
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:20,410
Oh, tonight, let it seem as if
I speak for the first time.
1176
01:02:21,150 --> 01:02:22,110
For the first time?
1177
01:02:22,140 --> 01:02:23,000
Yes.
1178
01:02:23,940 --> 01:02:25,780
Your voice, even,
is not the same.
1179
01:02:25,810 --> 01:02:26,990
How should it be.
1180
01:02:27,030 --> 01:02:28,450
I have another
voice tonight.
1181
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:31,250
My own, myself,... daring!
1182
01:02:31,610 --> 01:02:32,610
Why daring?
1183
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,600
Because, what am I, what is any man
would he dare ask for you?
1184
01:02:36,630 --> 01:02:40,780
Therefore my heart has hidden behind
poetic words and tinsel phrases.
1185
01:02:41,260 --> 01:02:43,640
But are they not sweet,
those pretty phrases?
1186
01:02:43,670 --> 01:02:45,630
Not enough sweet
for you and me tonight.
1187
01:02:47,530 --> 01:02:49,240
You never spoke
to me like this.
1188
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,510
I tell you, there comes
one moment, once,
1189
01:02:51,540 --> 01:02:53,800
and heaven help those
who pass that moment by,
1190
01:02:53,830 --> 01:02:56,110
when beauty stands
looking into the soul
1191
01:02:56,150 --> 01:03:01,810
with grave, sweet eyes,
that sicken at pretty words.
1192
01:03:02,650 --> 01:03:06,260
Yes...that is love.
1193
01:03:06,290 --> 01:03:07,010
Love.
1194
01:03:07,050 --> 01:03:09,260
A love beyond breath,
beyond reason,
1195
01:03:09,290 --> 01:03:11,590
beyond love's own
power of loving.
1196
01:03:11,630 --> 01:03:14,200
Your name is like a golden bell
hung in my heart,
1197
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:18,450
and when I think of you I tremble,
and the bell swings and rings,
1198
01:03:18,610 --> 01:03:28,580
Roxane! Roxane!
Along my veins...Roxane.
1199
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,970
Yes...that is love.
1200
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,770
(Cyrano)
Yes...that is love.
1201
01:03:36,090 --> 01:03:38,920
That wind of terrible
and jealous beauty,
1202
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:44,200
that dark fire,
that soaring, blinding music.
1203
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,690
Yet, you may take my happiness
to make you happier
1204
01:03:47,730 --> 01:03:49,410
even though you
never know I gave it to you.
1205
01:03:49,940 --> 01:03:55,700
Only let me hear, sometimes, all alone,
the distant laughter of your joy.
1206
01:03:56,740 --> 01:03:58,470
Do you begin
to understand a little?
1207
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,200
Can you feel my soul there
in the darkness breathe on you?
1208
01:04:03,230 --> 01:04:06,630
Oh, only tonight,
now I dare say these things.
1209
01:04:06,790 --> 01:04:09,400
I to you, and you hear them.
1210
01:04:10,030 --> 01:04:12,650
It is my voice, mine, my own
that makes you tremble
1211
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,390
there in the green gloom,
above me, for you do tremble
1212
01:04:15,430 --> 01:04:18,110
as a blossom among the leaves,
you tremble, and I can feel
1213
01:04:18,140 --> 01:04:19,670
all the way down along
this jasmine branch
1214
01:04:19,710 --> 01:04:23,700
whether you will unhold
the passion of you trembling.
1215
01:04:24,340 --> 01:04:25,960
Yes, I do tremble.
1216
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,880
And I weep, and I love you,
and I am yours,
1217
01:04:29,910 --> 01:04:31,720
and you have made me thus.
1218
01:04:36,710 --> 01:04:38,250
I have done this to you.
1219
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,380
I myself.
1220
01:04:44,970 --> 01:04:47,240
Only let me ask
one thing more.
1221
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:48,900
I want a kiss!
1222
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:52,080
You ask me for...
1223
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:53,060
I...yes.
1224
01:04:53,100 --> 01:04:54,260
That is to say...
1225
01:04:54,780 --> 01:04:55,770
I mean...
1226
01:04:56,140 --> 01:04:57,450
You've gone too far.
1227
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,370
If she's willing, why
not make the most of it?
1228
01:04:59,410 --> 01:05:04,270
I, I ask.
I know I ask too much.
1229
01:05:05,150 --> 01:05:06,420
Only one?
1230
01:05:07,550 --> 01:05:08,630
Is that all?
1231
01:05:09,150 --> 01:05:12,210
All?
How much more than all?
1232
01:05:12,250 --> 01:05:16,030
I know I startle you,
I...I ask, I ask you to refuse.
1233
01:05:16,070 --> 01:05:17,200
Why? Why? Why?
1234
01:05:17,230 --> 01:05:18,350
Christian, be quiet.
1235
01:05:18,390 --> 01:05:19,430
What is that your say?
1236
01:05:19,470 --> 01:05:21,810
I am angry with myself,
because I know I go too far
1237
01:05:21,850 --> 01:05:26,270
and so I say to myself,
CHRISTIAN, BE QUIET!
1238
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:28,300
Watch it, someone comes.
1239
01:05:36,390 --> 01:05:39,180
Well, sir, I am looking
for the house of madame Roxane Robin.
1240
01:05:39,220 --> 01:05:43,450
This is not the house. That way.
To the right. Keep to the right.
1241
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:44,330
I thank you sir.
1242
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,880
I shall say my beads for you
to the very last bead.
1243
01:05:49,340 --> 01:05:50,680
Win me that kiss?
1244
01:05:51,370 --> 01:05:52,070
No!
1245
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:53,780
Sooner or later.
1246
01:05:59,170 --> 01:06:00,510
So that is true.
1247
01:06:01,460 --> 01:06:07,540
Sooner or later must be so, because,
she is young, and you are handsome.
1248
01:06:09,170 --> 01:06:15,240
Since it must be, I'd rather be
myself the cause, if it must be.
1249
01:06:16,990 --> 01:06:19,620
(balcony window opens)
1250
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:24,660
Are you still there?
1251
01:06:24,690 --> 01:06:25,470
(Cyrano)
Yes.
1252
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:28,740
We were speaking of...
1253
01:06:30,090 --> 01:06:32,450
A kiss.
- A kiss.
1254
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,340
And what is a kiss
when all is done?
1255
01:06:34,930 --> 01:06:37,080
A vow taken before
the shrine of memory.
1256
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,650
A rosy dot
over the "i" of loving.
1257
01:06:39,790 --> 01:06:42,950
- A secret whisper
to listen if the past.
1258
01:06:42,980 --> 01:06:43,650
Shhh.
1259
01:06:43,690 --> 01:06:46,720
A moment free to mortal
with a rush of wing from Ceden.
1260
01:06:46,750 --> 01:06:48,220
A sacrament of blossoms.
1261
01:06:48,260 --> 01:06:53,250
A new song sung by two hearts
to an old, simple tune.
1262
01:06:53,290 --> 01:06:54,430
Hush.
1263
01:06:54,460 --> 01:06:56,050
Why? What shame?
1264
01:06:58,010 --> 01:07:01,310
No.
No shame.
1265
01:07:01,610 --> 01:07:02,770
Then come.
1266
01:07:03,550 --> 01:07:05,680
Gather your sacred blossoms.
1267
01:07:07,250 --> 01:07:09,230
Your moment made immortal.
1268
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:09,860
Climb!
1269
01:07:10,660 --> 01:07:12,300
- But, climb?
- Many more!
1270
01:07:22,410 --> 01:07:23,760
Roxane.
1271
01:07:33,870 --> 01:07:34,690
(sigh)
1272
01:07:36,090 --> 01:07:39,770
Ah, Roxane.
I have won what I have wanted.
1273
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:45,410
A feast of love,
and I am faint with hunger.
1274
01:07:48,110 --> 01:07:51,040
Yet, I have something here
that is mine now,...
1275
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,380
and was not mine before.
1276
01:07:54,220 --> 01:07:56,790
I spoke the words
that won her.
1277
01:07:57,890 --> 01:08:05,890
She kisses my words.
My words...upon his lips.
1278
01:08:07,230 --> 01:08:08,650
(gate opens)
1279
01:08:13,250 --> 01:08:14,670
What, dear Father,
lost your way again?
1280
01:08:14,710 --> 01:08:16,270
But, she lives here,
Madame Robin.
1281
01:08:16,300 --> 01:08:17,830
Oh, I thought
you said, Rolen?
1282
01:08:17,860 --> 01:08:19,850
No, r..o..b..i..n, Robin.
1283
01:08:19,890 --> 01:08:21,030
Oh, Robin, I see.
1284
01:08:21,070 --> 01:08:23,090
I'm too old
to chase wild geese
1285
01:08:23,130 --> 01:08:25,080
- my feet...
- Oh, what a shame,
1286
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,920
(knocking on door)
however, I'm sure there's someone at home.
1287
01:08:29,330 --> 01:08:30,120
(door opens)
1288
01:08:30,150 --> 01:08:30,860
What is it?
1289
01:08:30,890 --> 01:08:34,570
Yeah, I'm looking for
the young lady, Madam Rolen
1290
01:08:34,610 --> 01:08:35,840
Rolen?
1291
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:37,080
Robin!
1292
01:08:37,950 --> 01:08:40,050
Madame!
A letter for you.
1293
01:08:40,590 --> 01:08:42,070
Yes, yes, I heard.
1294
01:08:42,970 --> 01:08:43,650
Cyrano.
1295
01:08:43,690 --> 01:08:46,080
Uh, passing by cousin,
I saw this light.
1296
01:08:46,700 --> 01:08:50,330
Uh, some matter
profitable to the soul.
1297
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:52,550
A very noble lord gave it to me.
1298
01:08:52,750 --> 01:08:53,640
(Christian)
What is it?
1299
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,100
<i>My regiment has been
ordered to the front. </i>
1300
01:08:57,130 --> 01:08:59,490
<i>I cannot allow you
to delay any longer.</i>
1301
01:08:59,530 --> 01:09:01,820
<i>This simple old monk,
who knows nothing,</i>
1302
01:09:01,850 --> 01:09:04,190
<i>will marry us tonight.
My love, Antoine de Guiche.</i>
1303
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,110
(Roxane changes everything)
1304
01:09:07,150 --> 01:09:08,880
Father, this letter
concerns you.
1305
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,930
"Madame, the Cardinal
will have his way,
1306
01:09:13,970 --> 01:09:15,530
"although against your will.
1307
01:09:15,710 --> 01:09:18,150
"That is why I am
sending this to you,
1308
01:09:18,180 --> 01:09:20,470
"by a most holy man.
1309
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,160
"Intelligent, discreet.
1310
01:09:23,580 --> 01:09:26,660
"You will communicate
to him our order to perform
1311
01:09:26,900 --> 01:09:31,160
"here and at once
the rite of holy matrimony.
1312
01:09:32,570 --> 01:09:35,910
"You and Christian will be
married privately in your house.
1313
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,760
"Be resigned to the
Cardinal's command,
1314
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:41,930
"who sends herewith
his blessings.
1315
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,060
"Your very humble,
and etcetera..."
1316
01:09:44,940 --> 01:09:46,750
Oh, this is terrible.
1317
01:09:48,220 --> 01:09:49,850
Oh, you're to be
the, uh...
1318
01:09:49,890 --> 01:09:51,490
I am to be the bridegroom.
1319
01:09:53,950 --> 01:09:56,230
Uh, look here.
A postscript.
1320
01:09:56,780 --> 01:10:02,320
"Give to the monastery,
in my name 120 pieces of gold."
1321
01:10:02,350 --> 01:10:04,070
One hundred and twenty...
1322
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,530
Oh, a worthy lord.
A very worthy lord.
1323
01:10:09,470 --> 01:10:12,030
Daughter, resign yourself.
1324
01:10:12,070 --> 01:10:14,080
I am resigned.
1325
01:10:22,350 --> 01:10:24,500
The Guiche is coming, too.
Don't let him enter.
1326
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:25,730
Not let him enter?
1327
01:10:25,770 --> 01:10:27,790
Until we're married, please.
1328
01:10:28,610 --> 01:10:30,340
(door slams shut)
1329
01:10:44,330 --> 01:10:45,250
(Count)
What is that?
1330
01:10:45,340 --> 01:10:46,330
(Cyrano)
Me?
1331
01:10:46,370 --> 01:10:48,360
- Why, where did you come from?
- The moon.
1332
01:10:48,390 --> 01:10:49,330
- You...
- From the moon.
1333
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:50,690
I have just returned
from the moon.
1334
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:52,420
- The fellow's mad!
-Like a bomb, I tell you,
1335
01:10:52,460 --> 01:10:54,130
- I fell from the moon!
- Your feet must...
1336
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:55,450
- I say THE MOON!
1337
01:10:55,480 --> 01:10:57,580
- Very well, if you say so.
- Thank you.
1338
01:10:57,610 --> 01:10:58,610
- Raving mad.
1339
01:11:00,660 --> 01:11:02,850
- Where am I?
- My dear sir!
1340
01:11:02,890 --> 01:11:04,080
- What place is this?
What country?
1341
01:11:04,110 --> 01:11:06,170
- Please, let me pass.
- This face, good heavens!
1342
01:11:06,210 --> 01:11:08,710
Maul, a robber.
Where am I?
1343
01:11:08,750 --> 01:11:12,830
- A lady is waiting for me.
- Oh, this is Paris, huh?
1344
01:11:12,870 --> 01:11:13,620
You fool!
1345
01:11:13,650 --> 01:11:14,800
Dear old Paris.
1346
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,750
Excuse my appearance.
I arrived by the last thunderbolt.
1347
01:11:17,790 --> 01:11:19,970
A trifled singed
as I passed through the ether.
1348
01:11:20,470 --> 01:11:21,320
Monsieur!
1349
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:22,080
Sir?
1350
01:11:22,130 --> 01:11:23,750
That will do, now. I wish...
1351
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,600
I know, you wish to look for
my own list of nature for moons
1352
01:11:25,630 --> 01:11:27,820
and happiness and character
of it's surface, if any.
1353
01:11:27,850 --> 01:11:29,060
I desire no such thing, I...
1354
01:11:29,100 --> 01:11:30,060
Of course not.
1355
01:11:32,940 --> 01:11:34,330
You wish to know
by what mysterious
1356
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:35,570
means I reached the moon.
1357
01:11:35,610 --> 01:11:37,870
Well, a very secret affair of state,
1358
01:11:37,900 --> 01:11:41,770
but confidentially
a new invention of my own.
1359
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:43,190
Drunk, two ways.
Well a man..
1360
01:11:43,230 --> 01:11:46,050
Oh, no. In truth I have
my choice of several inventions.
1361
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:46,600
Uh?
1362
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:50,850
Yes, several ways
to violate the virgin sky.
1363
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:52,210
Several?
1364
01:11:52,250 --> 01:11:53,510
Several.
1365
01:11:53,540 --> 01:11:57,520
As, for instance, smoke
having a natural tendency to rise,
1366
01:11:57,550 --> 01:12:02,050
blow in a globe
enough to raise me.
1367
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:03,300
Yes, that makes one.
1368
01:12:03,330 --> 01:12:06,780
Again, I might construct a rocket
in the shape of a HUGE locust
1369
01:12:06,820 --> 01:12:10,810
driven by impulses up within
a saltpeter from the rear
1370
01:12:10,850 --> 01:12:14,050
and thus speed upwards,
like, thus!
1371
01:12:14,260 --> 01:12:15,260
Yes, another?
1372
01:12:15,290 --> 01:12:18,950
Finally, seated on an iron plate,
hurl a magnet into the air.
1373
01:12:18,980 --> 01:12:21,810
The iron follows.
I catch the magnet.
1374
01:12:21,850 --> 01:12:25,330
Throw it again, and
so proceed indefinitely.
1375
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,460
Excellent, and
which did you adopt?
1376
01:12:31,450 --> 01:12:32,370
Why none of them.
1377
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:34,350
Yet another.
1378
01:12:34,390 --> 01:12:35,740
Which was...?
1379
01:12:46,810 --> 01:12:47,500
Guess.
1380
01:12:47,860 --> 01:12:49,370
Ahhh, I can't!
1381
01:12:50,090 --> 01:12:51,100
Try.
1382
01:12:52,340 --> 01:12:53,980
Interesting idiot, this.
1383
01:13:05,350 --> 01:13:06,540
Have you guessed it yet?
1384
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:07,960
Why, no, what is it?
1385
01:13:13,780 --> 01:13:15,870
Alas, you will never know,
but no matter.
1386
01:13:15,910 --> 01:13:18,470
You are free and
they are bound in wedlock.
1387
01:13:18,510 --> 01:13:21,010
I drunk that voice,
and that nose, Cyrano!
1388
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:23,710
Cyrano. This very moment
they have exchanged vows.
1389
01:13:23,750 --> 01:13:24,460
Who?
1390
01:13:29,820 --> 01:13:31,530
My sincere compliments.
1391
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,900
You, also, my traveler in space.
1392
01:13:34,940 --> 01:13:37,800
My Lord, the heads of Capathieu
and Joyce have joined together.
1393
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:38,750
Quite so!
1394
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:44,160
Madame, kindly bid
your... husband farewell.
1395
01:13:44,190 --> 01:13:46,670
Your regiment leaves tonight, sir.
Report at once!
1396
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:49,320
But, the Cadets are not called.
1397
01:13:49,350 --> 01:13:51,850
They are, indeed, and
under my command.
1398
01:13:52,710 --> 01:13:55,080
Out there we may
have an accounting.
1399
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:58,130
Somehow, that news
fails to disquiet me.
1400
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,190
Here are the orders.
Baron, deliver this.
1401
01:14:02,500 --> 01:14:03,650
Christian!
1402
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,660
The bridal night
is not so near.
1403
01:14:10,090 --> 01:14:13,400
Somehow that news
fails to disquiet me.
1404
01:14:17,710 --> 01:14:19,340
Baron, you have your orders.
1405
01:14:36,270 --> 01:14:37,530
Farewell, Roxane.
1406
01:14:38,290 --> 01:14:40,490
Take care of him, for me.
Promise me never to let him
1407
01:14:40,530 --> 01:14:41,400
do anything dangerous.
1408
01:14:41,430 --> 01:14:42,890
I will do my best.
I cannot promise.
1409
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:44,970
I thought you brave always.
Make him be careful.
1410
01:14:45,010 --> 01:14:46,070
Yes, yes, I'll try.
1411
01:14:46,110 --> 01:14:47,840
Be sure to keep him
warm and dry!
1412
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:49,150
Yes, if possible.
1413
01:14:49,190 --> 01:14:51,820
Have him write to me
every single day!
1414
01:14:51,860 --> 01:14:54,090
That, I promise you.
1415
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,970
(the war with Spain)
1416
01:15:40,820 --> 01:15:41,540
Halt!
1417
01:16:03,370 --> 01:16:03,920
Uh!
1418
01:16:13,930 --> 01:16:18,590
(Madame Baroness de Neuvillette,
Rue Marais No. 12, Paris)
1419
01:16:46,610 --> 01:16:48,170
The situation
is simple, gentlemen.
1420
01:16:48,420 --> 01:16:53,340
We have besieged Arras.
The Prince of Spain has besieged us.
1421
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,960
Consequently, we
are surrounded.
1422
01:16:56,050 --> 01:16:58,920
- A fine war. Where
the besiegers are besieged
1423
01:16:58,950 --> 01:17:00,020
and starve to death.
1424
01:17:00,060 --> 01:17:01,990
Yes, but the Marshal has
devised a brilliant plan
1425
01:17:02,030 --> 01:17:03,480
for bringing in food
this very night.
1426
01:17:03,510 --> 01:17:04,460
Now, see here.
1427
01:17:04,500 --> 01:17:06,240
Spare us the details, Colonel.
1428
01:17:06,270 --> 01:17:08,820
Merely inform us
when the food arrives.
1429
01:17:08,860 --> 01:17:11,380
True, we are hungry.
But why blame me?
1430
01:17:11,700 --> 01:17:13,320
I'm only your Colonel.
1431
01:17:14,700 --> 01:17:16,910
Oh, yes, I know
you disprove of me.
1432
01:17:17,020 --> 01:17:18,940
Call me courtier, politician.
1433
01:17:19,430 --> 01:17:22,080
Well, I can afford you little hates.
1434
01:17:22,110 --> 01:17:24,730
My conduct under fire
is well known.
1435
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,170
It was only yesterday
I repelled a Spanish attack.
1436
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,070
Pouring my men down
like an avalanche.
1437
01:17:29,250 --> 01:17:30,710
I, myself lead the charge.
1438
01:17:30,900 --> 01:17:33,330
- And your white scarf?
(through a cannon barrel)
1439
01:17:33,370 --> 01:17:34,130
Cyrano!
1440
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:39,140
And your white scarf?
1441
01:17:39,150 --> 01:17:40,480
Eh, you heard that episode?
1442
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:44,110
Yes, I was so far in advance
I was in danger of being captured.
1443
01:17:44,180 --> 01:17:46,570
But I thought quickly,
took off and flung away
1444
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,290
the scarf that marked
my military rank.
1445
01:17:48,420 --> 01:17:51,150
And so being inconspicuous
escaped among my own force,
1446
01:17:51,410 --> 01:17:54,250
rallied them, returned,
and won the day.
1447
01:17:54,290 --> 01:17:55,500
What do you say to that?
1448
01:17:55,540 --> 01:17:58,550
Still, enough that is not likely
to resign the privilege of being a target.
1449
01:17:58,580 --> 01:18:01,690
How pleasant for you
that you are denied that privilege.
1450
01:18:01,730 --> 01:18:03,650
Pleasant?
Lend me your scarf.
1451
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:05,570
With your permission I shall
lead the first charge tonight
1452
01:18:05,610 --> 01:18:06,890
wearing it over my shoulder.
1453
01:18:06,930 --> 01:18:07,720
What bluster.
1454
01:18:07,750 --> 01:18:09,630
You're safe making that offer,
and you know it.
1455
01:18:09,670 --> 01:18:12,620
My scarf lies on the
river bank between the lines.
1456
01:18:12,650 --> 01:18:15,560
A spot swept by artillery.
Impossible to reach alive.
1457
01:18:15,700 --> 01:18:16,700
Yes.
1458
01:18:16,730 --> 01:18:20,500
(displays the Colonel's scarf)
1459
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:22,410
Here.
1460
01:18:22,580 --> 01:18:24,590
(laughter)
1461
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:26,500
Thank you.
1462
01:18:28,180 --> 01:18:31,000
This bit of white is
what I need to make a signal.
1463
01:18:31,820 --> 01:18:33,360
I was hesitating.
1464
01:18:33,940 --> 01:18:35,720
You have decided me.
1465
01:18:41,370 --> 01:18:43,010
- Stand or I'll fire!
- Hold you fire.
1466
01:18:43,050 --> 01:18:44,650
There's a man down
there running away.
1467
01:18:44,690 --> 01:18:46,700
Yes, a Spaniard.
1468
01:18:47,440 --> 01:18:50,310
But very useful as a spy
to both sides.
1469
01:18:51,270 --> 01:18:52,480
As I was about
to tell you.
1470
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,100
The Marshal has withdrawn
more than half our forces here.
1471
01:18:55,140 --> 01:18:57,190
Fortunately, the Spaniards
do not know that.
1472
01:18:57,230 --> 01:19:00,470
Oh, yes, they do now,
and they will attack tonight.
1473
01:19:00,510 --> 01:19:02,240
At this point.
1474
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:04,520
Your revenge, eh?
1475
01:19:04,550 --> 01:19:06,670
I make not great
pretense in loving you.
1476
01:19:06,770 --> 01:19:10,170
But since you gentlemen
esteem yourselves invincible,
1477
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,710
the bravest of the brave,
and all that.
1478
01:19:12,750 --> 01:19:14,120
Why need we be personal.
1479
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,710
The Marshal needs
a diversion, and I serve him
1480
01:19:16,740 --> 01:19:19,040
in choosing as I chose.
1481
01:19:19,210 --> 01:19:21,440
As you can see, Captain,
the great thing is to gain time.
1482
01:19:21,470 --> 01:19:23,070
To hold until the Marshal returns.
1483
01:19:23,180 --> 01:19:24,980
- And to gain time?
1484
01:19:25,490 --> 01:19:31,370
You will all be so kind
as to lay down your lives.
1485
01:19:39,610 --> 01:19:40,700
Christian?
1486
01:19:40,740 --> 01:19:41,400
Yes.
1487
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:46,130
Roxane?
1488
01:19:46,940 --> 01:19:49,260
I should like to say
farewell to her
1489
01:19:49,290 --> 01:19:51,580
with my whole
heart for her to keep.
1490
01:19:53,630 --> 01:19:55,610
I have taken the liberty of...
1491
01:19:58,580 --> 01:20:03,760
(the first letter
Christian is aware of)
1492
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:05,110
But, wait.
1493
01:20:07,270 --> 01:20:08,180
This little spot.
1494
01:20:08,620 --> 01:20:09,360
Spot?
1495
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:10,100
Yes.
1496
01:20:10,470 --> 01:20:11,550
A tear.
1497
01:20:13,500 --> 01:20:14,210
Is nothing.
1498
01:20:14,250 --> 01:20:16,860
A poet while he writes
is like a lover in his lady's arms,
1499
01:20:16,890 --> 01:20:19,060
believing his imagination,
everything seems real.
1500
01:20:19,090 --> 01:20:20,710
There's half the charm
of writing.
1501
01:20:21,230 --> 01:20:24,000
Now, I made this letter
so pathetic, that,
1502
01:20:24,030 --> 01:20:27,290
while I was writing it,
I wept.
1503
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:28,110
You wept?
1504
01:20:28,650 --> 01:20:31,590
Why, yes, because
it is a little thing to die,
1505
01:20:32,500 --> 01:20:36,710
but not to see her,...
that is terrible.
1506
01:20:37,700 --> 01:20:41,890
I shall never...,
you will never...
1507
01:20:42,480 --> 01:20:43,690
Give me that.
1508
01:20:45,190 --> 01:20:48,500
- Halt. Who goes there.
- On the service of the King.
1509
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:01,330
- The King!
- Fall in...
1510
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:11,620
Good evening.
1511
01:21:11,650 --> 01:21:13,540
On the King's service, you?
1512
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:25,850
- Gentlemen,...
- What are you doing here?
1513
01:21:25,890 --> 01:21:28,300
- We heard rumors at home
you were hungry,
1514
01:21:28,340 --> 01:21:29,810
- so we came prepared.
1515
01:21:29,850 --> 01:21:34,500
The Spaniards adored the fare,
but they missed the fowl!
1516
01:21:34,530 --> 01:21:37,560
(soldiers clamor for food)
1517
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:47,020
But why did you come here
into this, this danger?
1518
01:21:47,060 --> 01:21:49,420
They said in Paris
there was no fighting.
1519
01:21:50,450 --> 01:21:53,620
Besides, it was your own fault.
1520
01:22:01,410 --> 01:22:03,770
Think of the
letters you have written me.
1521
01:22:04,050 --> 01:22:06,510
How many times!
Every day!
1522
01:22:06,550 --> 01:22:07,680
Every day?
1523
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:08,820
Of course.
1524
01:22:08,980 --> 01:22:11,560
And each one
more wonderful than the last.
1525
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:14,820
All this, for a few absurd love letters.
1526
01:22:14,860 --> 01:22:18,050
Hush. Absurd?
Your letters...no, never.
1527
01:22:19,030 --> 01:22:22,730
Every one was like hearing your voice
that night in the dark. Remember?
1528
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:26,590
Like your arms around me.
I read them over and over.
1529
01:22:26,630 --> 01:22:30,420
Every page was like
a petal fallen from you soul.
1530
01:22:30,460 --> 01:22:33,350
Like the light
and the fire of a great love.
1531
01:22:33,390 --> 01:22:36,020
- Sweet and strong and true.
- Sweet.
1532
01:22:36,180 --> 01:22:37,280
Strong.
1533
01:22:37,590 --> 01:22:38,490
True?
1534
01:22:41,570 --> 01:22:43,090
Oh, my Christian.
1535
01:22:43,690 --> 01:22:46,420
I came here to ask forgiveness.
1536
01:22:47,660 --> 01:22:49,380
It is time to be forgiven.
1537
01:22:49,860 --> 01:22:51,950
Now, when we
may die so soon.
1538
01:22:53,780 --> 01:22:55,380
Forgive me for being
light and vain
1539
01:22:55,410 --> 01:22:57,570
and loving you only
because you were handsome.
1540
01:22:57,600 --> 01:22:59,230
- For now...
- Now?
1541
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:01,940
I love you for yourself.
1542
01:23:02,350 --> 01:23:04,090
For what you are.
1543
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:05,340
Roxane.
1544
01:23:05,910 --> 01:23:09,000
How you must have suffered.
For you saw how frivolous I was.
1545
01:23:09,030 --> 01:23:11,300
And to be loved
for the mere costume,
1546
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,090
for the poor, casual
body you went about in.
1547
01:23:14,750 --> 01:23:17,620
To a soul like yours,
that must have been torture.
1548
01:23:17,650 --> 01:23:18,390
No.
1549
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:23,140
I understand.
1550
01:23:23,790 --> 01:23:25,930
You cannot perfectly
believe in me,
1551
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:27,530
a...a love like this...
1552
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:29,090
I want no love like this.
1553
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,020
I want love only for...
1554
01:23:31,050 --> 01:23:33,090
Only for what every
woman sees in you.
1555
01:23:33,700 --> 01:23:35,030
I can to better than that.
1556
01:23:35,060 --> 01:23:37,240
No, it...it was best before.
1557
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,090
You do not
altogether know me.
1558
01:23:40,540 --> 01:23:42,260
I was a child.
1559
01:23:42,350 --> 01:23:43,650
I'm a woman now.
1560
01:23:44,250 --> 01:23:46,720
- If...if you were less handsome,
- No.
1561
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:50,130
unattractive, ugly even,
I should love you, still.
1562
01:23:50,770 --> 01:23:51,900
Do you mean that?
1563
01:23:52,510 --> 01:23:53,750
I do mean that.
1564
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:55,020
Ugly?
1565
01:23:55,100 --> 01:23:56,200
Even then.
1566
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:58,050
Now, are you happy?
1567
01:24:03,470 --> 01:24:04,650
Yes.
1568
01:24:04,690 --> 01:24:05,500
What is it?
1569
01:24:06,190 --> 01:24:08,690
Nothing, only, Cyrano...
1570
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:10,830
Cyrano.
1571
01:24:12,050 --> 01:24:14,090
he has something
to tell you.
1572
01:24:16,180 --> 01:24:17,200
Where are you going?
1573
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:20,690
I...will...return...in a moment.
1574
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:30,050
Cyrano.
1575
01:24:30,650 --> 01:24:32,480
Your wife, sir,
she goes with me?
1576
01:24:32,510 --> 01:24:33,340
No, sir, she remains.
1577
01:24:33,380 --> 01:24:34,670
There is still time
for her to escape.
1578
01:24:34,710 --> 01:24:35,640
She stays!
1579
01:24:36,030 --> 01:24:36,790
Very well.
1580
01:24:36,820 --> 01:24:38,950
Someone give me a musket.
I stay here also.
1581
01:24:39,420 --> 01:24:40,640
Sir, you show courage.
1582
01:24:40,670 --> 01:24:42,890
What, shall I run away,
and leave a woman?
1583
01:24:43,450 --> 01:24:45,320
Colonel, my compliments, sir.
1584
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:47,810
What of Roxane?
1585
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:48,470
Wait.
1586
01:24:49,350 --> 01:24:50,860
Well, what is it?
You look so...
1587
01:24:52,830 --> 01:24:54,580
She does not love me.
1588
01:24:54,990 --> 01:24:57,310
- You think not?
- She loves you.
1589
01:24:57,340 --> 01:24:59,630
- No.
- She loves only my soul.
1590
01:24:59,660 --> 01:25:00,370
- No.
- Yes!
1591
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:03,140
That means you.
And you love her.
1592
01:25:03,170 --> 01:25:05,300
- I?
- I see. I know.
1593
01:25:05,340 --> 01:25:08,310
You wrote her,
everyday, every day!
1594
01:25:08,820 --> 01:25:10,030
- Perfectly simple.
- Simple?
1595
01:25:10,060 --> 01:25:11,700
For a month,
we've been blockaded here.
1596
01:25:11,740 --> 01:25:13,340
How did you send
all those letters?
1597
01:25:13,370 --> 01:25:14,500
Before daylight
I managed...
1598
01:25:14,530 --> 01:25:16,070
To face death
everyday.
1599
01:25:16,820 --> 01:25:17,950
You love her.
1600
01:25:19,020 --> 01:25:20,190
Yes.
1601
01:25:26,950 --> 01:25:27,890
Tell her so.
1602
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:29,250
- No.
- Why not?
1603
01:25:29,350 --> 01:25:32,290
Why?
Look at me.
1604
01:25:32,590 --> 01:25:35,420
She would love me
if I were ugly.
1605
01:25:35,990 --> 01:25:38,820
- She said that?
- Yes. Now, go to her.
1606
01:25:40,090 --> 01:25:42,410
Nonsense. Do not
believe any such madness.
1607
01:25:42,440 --> 01:25:44,730
Go back to her.
You never will be ugly.
1608
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:45,810
Go!
It is you she loves.
1609
01:25:45,850 --> 01:25:46,870
That is what
we shall see.
1610
01:25:46,900 --> 01:25:47,840
No, no!
1611
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:49,480
- Let her chose between us.
- No.
1612
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:51,510
- Tell her everything.
- Why do you torture me?
1613
01:25:51,550 --> 01:25:54,700
Shall I ruin your happiness,
because I was born with a pretty face?
1614
01:25:54,740 --> 01:25:57,210
Am I to ruin yours,
because I happen to have power
1615
01:25:57,250 --> 01:25:58,750
to say what you perhaps feel?
1616
01:25:58,780 --> 01:26:00,910
- Tell her!
- Don't drive me too far!
1617
01:26:00,950 --> 01:26:03,210
- I'm tired of being my own rival.
- Hard to know.
1618
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:05,470
My secret marriage, that
can be annulled, I expect.
1619
01:26:05,500 --> 01:26:07,790
I want her love
for the poor fool than I am,
1620
01:26:07,860 --> 01:26:09,020
or not at all.
1621
01:26:09,390 --> 01:26:12,090
Oh, I'm going through with this.
I'll know one way or the other.
1622
01:26:12,870 --> 01:26:15,280
Now, go!....Tell her.
1623
01:26:15,480 --> 01:26:16,790
Let her chose one of us.
1624
01:26:17,570 --> 01:26:18,780
It will be you.
1625
01:26:19,670 --> 01:26:21,330
I hope so.
1626
01:26:33,070 --> 01:26:33,820
- Captain!
1627
01:26:36,570 --> 01:26:38,100
The Spanish fires are going out.
1628
01:26:41,030 --> 01:26:42,160
It begins.
1629
01:26:42,220 --> 01:26:44,140
I need a scout. Where's Cyrano.
1630
01:26:44,490 --> 01:26:45,280
Captain.
1631
01:26:45,850 --> 01:26:46,740
Let me go.
1632
01:26:46,780 --> 01:26:49,490
No, my boy, Cyrano knows
the terrain. He knows their lines.
1633
01:26:49,530 --> 01:26:51,550
So do I.
Please, allow me.
1634
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:56,070
Very well.
We must know from which
1635
01:26:56,110 --> 01:26:58,810
direction the advance comes.
Their weight and numbers.
1636
01:26:58,840 --> 01:26:59,560
I understand.
1637
01:27:11,940 --> 01:27:12,780
Roxane.
1638
01:27:13,430 --> 01:27:14,450
Cyrano.
1639
01:27:14,480 --> 01:27:15,930
Christian thinks...
1640
01:27:17,470 --> 01:27:19,190
Christian thinks you
ought to know that...
1641
01:27:19,220 --> 01:27:20,240
But I do know.
1642
01:27:20,770 --> 01:27:22,850
He still doubts what I
just told him, just now.
1643
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:23,860
I saw that.
1644
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:27,560
Yes, but,...was it true,
what you told him just now?
1645
01:27:27,590 --> 01:27:28,900
It was true.
1646
01:27:28,990 --> 01:27:32,270
I said that I should love him,
even if he were....
1647
01:27:33,020 --> 01:27:34,580
The word comes
hard before me?
1648
01:27:37,420 --> 01:27:38,860
Say it, I shall
not be hurt.
1649
01:27:39,370 --> 01:27:40,620
Ugly?
1650
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:42,130
Even, then
I should love him.
1651
01:27:43,500 --> 01:27:44,690
Disfigured.
1652
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:45,870
Or disfigured.
1653
01:27:46,480 --> 01:27:49,620
Even....grotesque.
1654
01:27:49,650 --> 01:27:51,350
How could he
every be grotesque,
1655
01:27:51,810 --> 01:27:52,950
ever to me?
1656
01:27:52,990 --> 01:27:55,580
But, you could love him so,
as much as?
1657
01:27:55,610 --> 01:27:56,790
Yes, and more.
1658
01:27:57,320 --> 01:27:58,320
Roxane...
1659
01:27:58,350 --> 01:27:59,300
(gunshot)
1660
01:27:59,340 --> 01:28:00,260
What is it?
1661
01:28:01,550 --> 01:28:02,600
Are they fighting?
1662
01:28:05,250 --> 01:28:06,510
What is happening?
1663
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:08,010
- The Spaniards advance,
1664
01:28:08,940 --> 01:28:09,930
but there is time.
1665
01:28:10,480 --> 01:28:12,370
- Where is Christian?
- At the parapet.
1666
01:28:12,820 --> 01:28:13,890
Oh, of course.
1667
01:28:14,930 --> 01:28:16,750
What is it
that you wish to tell me?
1668
01:28:16,780 --> 01:28:18,140
Roxane,...
1669
01:28:18,810 --> 01:28:21,690
believe me this is difficult,
and for once I lack words.
1670
01:28:24,690 --> 01:28:26,330
Christian asked me to...
1671
01:28:26,440 --> 01:28:27,850
He told me...
1672
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:38,220
Christian!
1673
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:42,970
To your places, gentlemen.
1674
01:28:43,970 --> 01:28:45,130
Is he dead?
1675
01:28:45,170 --> 01:28:46,260
No, but dying.
1676
01:28:46,300 --> 01:28:47,660
I will not let him!
1677
01:28:51,870 --> 01:28:54,530
Cyrano...did you?
1678
01:28:54,570 --> 01:28:56,610
Yes, my friend.
I have told her.
1679
01:28:58,350 --> 01:28:59,450
She loves you.
1680
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:02,190
Roxane.
1681
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:03,570
Yes, my darling.
1682
01:29:06,020 --> 01:29:07,320
Christian!
1683
01:29:08,170 --> 01:29:09,370
He is not dead?
1684
01:29:10,930 --> 01:29:11,830
Yes.
1685
01:29:12,310 --> 01:29:13,640
(gasp)
1686
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:22,890
Time you must go, now.
1687
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:25,860
Really, he is dead.
1688
01:29:25,890 --> 01:29:27,740
No one else
knew him but you.
1689
01:29:28,250 --> 01:29:29,630
Was he not a hero?
1690
01:29:29,670 --> 01:29:30,700
Yes, Roxane.
1691
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:33,340
A heart deeper
than we knew.
1692
01:29:33,380 --> 01:29:34,930
Yes, Roxane.
1693
01:29:35,010 --> 01:29:39,310
A poet.
A soul magnificently tender.
1694
01:29:41,750 --> 01:29:43,660
Yes, Roxane.
1695
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:46,740
But he is dead now.
1696
01:29:48,390 --> 01:29:50,030
(collapses sobbing)
1697
01:29:50,070 --> 01:29:51,230
Why, so am I.
1698
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:55,060
For I am dead
and my love mourns for me
1699
01:29:55,100 --> 01:29:56,550
and does not know.
1700
01:29:58,190 --> 01:29:59,530
Will never know.
1701
01:29:59,570 --> 01:30:00,990
(rapid gunfire)
1702
01:30:01,030 --> 01:30:02,410
(bugle calls)
1703
01:30:03,030 --> 01:30:04,030
Take her away quickly.
1704
01:30:05,670 --> 01:30:06,500
Wait.
1705
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:09,220
A letter over his heart.
1706
01:30:11,490 --> 01:30:12,850
(sobbing)
1707
01:30:16,740 --> 01:30:18,460
I have two deaths
to avenge, now,
1708
01:30:19,090 --> 01:30:22,670
Christian's...and my own.
1709
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:42,210
(fighting becomes intense)
1710
01:30:43,330 --> 01:30:46,820
(the Spanish army advances)
1711
01:30:49,450 --> 01:30:50,280
Fire!
1712
01:31:00,270 --> 01:31:02,810
Surrender or you die!
1713
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:51,720
(de Guiche)
Look! The signal!
1714
01:32:59,940 --> 01:33:00,940
Ah!
1715
01:33:07,070 --> 01:33:09,610
We fought. We died.
We fought again.
1716
01:33:09,750 --> 01:33:12,760
Who are these men who are
so fond of death, one Spaniard cried.
1717
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:14,440
On and on, they came.
1718
01:33:14,570 --> 01:33:17,210
Then, when all seemed lost,
we heard the trumpets
1719
01:33:17,250 --> 01:33:19,850
of our returning troops.
The battle was ours!
1720
01:33:20,690 --> 01:33:24,050
Ah, you have been fortunate,
Ms. de Bergerac, you have lived!
1721
01:33:24,090 --> 01:33:28,870
While we, we waste our youth.
There is no war and not hope for any.
1722
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:30,880
No hope for any?
1723
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:34,220
My fellow, I just realize,
we are both fools.
1724
01:33:34,630 --> 01:33:37,550
But mine is the greater folly,
for I am an older fool.
1725
01:33:38,170 --> 01:33:42,320
What is more......
Everything I told you was a lie.
1726
01:33:47,550 --> 01:33:49,680
Another satire
for the Gazette?
1727
01:33:49,710 --> 01:33:50,410
Yes.
1728
01:33:50,820 --> 01:33:53,480
Another glove flung
in the face of power?
1729
01:33:53,650 --> 01:33:55,400
Oh, why do you
do it, Cyrano?
1730
01:33:55,430 --> 01:33:57,860
- Why do you attack...
- Stupidity?
1731
01:33:57,880 --> 01:34:01,180
Deceit? Corruption?
I'm too old to change.
1732
01:34:01,370 --> 01:34:03,980
I'm an old dog
with nothing left but his teeth.
1733
01:34:04,010 --> 01:34:06,580
Ah, but teeth can be pulled.
That can be painful.
1734
01:34:10,440 --> 01:34:14,580
That insolent wretch.
That scoundrel de Bergerac.
1735
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:17,180
This time he's gone too far.
I swear it.
1736
01:34:17,210 --> 01:34:18,790
He's signed his death warrant.
1737
01:34:19,950 --> 01:34:21,730
And who will deliver it?
1738
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:25,040
His sword is still very
powerful, my friend.
1739
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:27,230
There are may ways
a man can die.
1740
01:34:27,990 --> 01:34:29,550
Who knows?
1741
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:31,430
He may meet
with an accident.
1742
01:34:32,550 --> 01:34:33,570
Soon.
1743
01:34:35,100 --> 01:34:38,710
(church chimes)
1744
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:46,060
But, uh, tell me, Madame.
1745
01:34:46,180 --> 01:34:50,830
How long will you continue
to remain here, forever in mourning?
1746
01:34:51,670 --> 01:34:52,570
Forever.
1747
01:34:53,060 --> 01:34:55,080
Was Christian all that?
1748
01:34:55,770 --> 01:34:57,400
If you knew him
you would not ask.
1749
01:34:57,950 --> 01:35:00,150
His last letter
is still in my heart.
1750
01:35:00,820 --> 01:35:04,770
And, uh, Cyrano?
Do you see him often?
1751
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:09,240
Every week. My old friend
takes the place of my Gazette.
1752
01:35:09,620 --> 01:35:11,320
He brings me all the news.
1753
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:14,940
Every Saturday under
that tree out there.
1754
01:35:14,980 --> 01:35:17,070
I wait for him embroidering.
1755
01:35:17,430 --> 01:35:20,240
The hour strikes.
I need not turn to look.
1756
01:35:20,570 --> 01:35:24,070
At the last stroke,
I hear his cane tapping the walk.
1757
01:35:24,100 --> 01:35:26,430
His satires have made
him many enemies.
1758
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:29,740
But, they still fear
that sword of his.
1759
01:35:30,330 --> 01:35:32,130
No one dare touch him.
1760
01:35:32,510 --> 01:35:33,670
Hm, that may be so.
1761
01:35:35,620 --> 01:35:38,160
It is not violence
I fear for him,
1762
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:42,560
but solitude, poverty.
Old gray Decembers
1763
01:35:42,590 --> 01:35:45,350
stealing on wolf's feet
into his darkened room.
1764
01:35:46,010 --> 01:35:48,230
It seems to me he's
worn the same old coat
1765
01:35:48,260 --> 01:35:49,610
for many months, now.
1766
01:35:49,650 --> 01:35:51,740
Eh, that is nothing
strange in this world.
1767
01:35:51,780 --> 01:35:53,820
You need not pity
him overmuch.
1768
01:35:53,860 --> 01:35:56,930
He lives his life,
his own life his own way,
1769
01:35:56,970 --> 01:36:00,300
thought, word and deed free.
1770
01:36:00,450 --> 01:36:01,610
My Lord Duke.
1771
01:36:01,750 --> 01:36:05,860
Oh, yes, I know.
I have all. He has nothing.
1772
01:36:06,370 --> 01:36:12,170
Nevertheless, today,
I should be proud to shake his hand.
1773
01:36:12,350 --> 01:36:14,000
Ah, well, adieu.
1774
01:36:14,670 --> 01:36:16,300
Will I ever see you again?
1775
01:36:16,340 --> 01:36:17,970
Come whenever you like.
1776
01:36:18,010 --> 01:36:19,610
Then, you have forgiven me.
1777
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:21,680
I am here.
1778
01:36:22,950 --> 01:36:25,380
Do you know?
When a man wins
1779
01:36:25,420 --> 01:36:29,750
everything in this world,
when he succeeds too much,
1780
01:36:29,790 --> 01:36:34,190
he feels, somehow,
a thousand small displeasures
1781
01:36:34,230 --> 01:36:38,560
with himself, whose whole sum
is not quite remorse
1782
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:45,570
but rather a sort of vague
disgust, dry illusions, pained regrets.
1783
01:36:45,870 --> 01:36:48,730
Yes, now and then,
I envy your Cyrano.
1784
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:50,860
The sentiment
does you honor.
1785
01:36:50,890 --> 01:36:52,250
(chuckling)
1786
01:36:59,350 --> 01:37:04,280
Madame, I must tell you,
it is true that no one has yet
1787
01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:06,490
dared to attack
your friend Cyrano.
1788
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:11,380
Nevertheless, at the theater
last night, I heard some things.
1789
01:37:12,260 --> 01:37:13,720
Keep him at home all you can.
1790
01:37:14,090 --> 01:37:17,330
Tomorrow when you see him,
tell him to be careful.
1791
01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:19,130
I thank you.
1792
01:37:32,050 --> 01:37:33,140
(Cyrano)
Good night, Ragueneau.
1793
01:37:33,180 --> 01:37:35,120
(Ragueneau)
Cyrano, you not leaving?
1794
01:37:35,150 --> 01:37:37,030
You will not have
dinner here with me?
1795
01:37:37,060 --> 01:37:38,860
(Cyrano)
My regrets. I have a magnificent
1796
01:37:38,900 --> 01:37:42,450
roast waiting for me, a rare wine,
a gift from my publisher.
1797
01:37:42,490 --> 01:37:43,890
(Ragueneau)
Fine, to be sure.
1798
01:37:44,650 --> 01:37:47,490
Uh, have you seen
Moliere's new play?
1799
01:37:47,530 --> 01:37:48,160
No.
1800
01:37:48,340 --> 01:37:49,650
Heh, ah, well....
1801
01:37:49,690 --> 01:37:50,580
What is it?
1802
01:37:50,610 --> 01:37:51,460
Well, he...
1803
01:37:51,500 --> 01:37:52,250
Speak.
1804
01:37:52,290 --> 01:37:55,220
He stole a scene
from you, word for word.
1805
01:37:55,250 --> 01:37:57,140
You know, "What the devil
was he doing there?"
1806
01:37:57,170 --> 01:37:57,730
That one.
1807
01:37:57,770 --> 01:37:59,040
He stole it, bodily.
1808
01:37:59,070 --> 01:38:01,300
Well, he showed
good taste.
1809
01:38:01,340 --> 01:38:03,020
It, uh, played well?
1810
01:38:03,060 --> 01:38:05,450
Oh, beautifully. They
laughed and laughed.
1811
01:38:05,480 --> 01:38:06,810
Oh, how they laughed.
1812
01:38:07,250 --> 01:38:08,560
Moliere has genius.
1813
01:38:09,370 --> 01:38:11,010
Christian had good looks.
1814
01:38:12,170 --> 01:38:13,610
With me, it was
always thus.
1815
01:38:16,050 --> 01:38:17,240
Good night, my friend.
1816
01:38:32,340 --> 01:38:32,950
(man)
Hold, there.
1817
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:33,950
(man)
You!
1818
01:38:35,650 --> 01:38:36,850
(Cyrano)
Are you addressing me?
1819
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:38,990
Yes, you, Monsieur
of the long nose.
1820
01:38:39,100 --> 01:38:40,000
Insolence.
1821
01:38:40,290 --> 01:38:41,990
- Foulmouthed scribbler.
- What?
1822
01:38:42,020 --> 01:38:43,440
- Lair, plagiarist!
- Liar.
1823
01:38:47,910 --> 01:38:49,660
(whistling to wagon)
1824
01:39:08,630 --> 01:39:10,920
(driver whips horses)
1825
01:39:27,570 --> 01:39:28,490
Doctor.
1826
01:39:29,930 --> 01:39:31,260
Why pretend?
1827
01:39:31,550 --> 01:39:32,910
It is very grave.
1828
01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:35,500
Keep him quiet
at all costs.
1829
01:39:35,540 --> 01:39:38,500
If he attempts
to rise, he will die.
1830
01:39:38,540 --> 01:39:39,810
Shhhh.
1831
01:39:43,220 --> 01:39:43,930
Thank you.
1832
01:39:44,980 --> 01:39:47,240
(door closes)
1833
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:55,820
(gate bell rings)
1834
01:39:59,820 --> 01:40:01,490
(gate opens)
1835
01:40:01,530 --> 01:40:03,170
Monsieur.
1836
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:03,860
Ah, Sister.
1837
01:40:09,810 --> 01:40:10,880
(gasp)
1838
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:12,350
What is the matter
with you?
1839
01:40:14,480 --> 01:40:15,900
Shall I tell you
something, Sister?
1840
01:40:16,540 --> 01:40:20,470
Yesterday, Friday, mind you,
I ate meat again.
1841
01:40:21,930 --> 01:40:23,000
Yes, I know.
1842
01:40:23,350 --> 01:40:25,080
That is why you
are so pale.
1843
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:27,930
Please come to me
to the refectory before you go.
1844
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,250
I'll make you a great
bowl of hot soup.
1845
01:40:30,280 --> 01:40:31,630
Of course, of course.
1846
01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:33,950
You're quite reasonable today.
1847
01:40:33,990 --> 01:40:36,120
Perhaps you'll convert me.
1848
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:38,260
Oh, no! Not for the world.
1849
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:40,690
Why, now I think of it,
that is so.
1850
01:40:41,070 --> 01:40:44,560
You, bursting with holiness,
and yet you never preach.
1851
01:40:45,470 --> 01:40:46,760
Astonishing.
1852
01:40:47,060 --> 01:40:49,100
And now I shall astonish you.
1853
01:40:49,690 --> 01:40:54,110
I'm going to let you
pray for me tonight, at Vespers.
1854
01:40:55,830 --> 01:40:58,700
Absolutely struck dumb, eh?
1855
01:41:02,550 --> 01:41:05,180
I did not wait for you
to say I might.
1856
01:41:14,930 --> 01:41:17,450
Now may the devil admire
me if never hope to see
1857
01:41:17,490 --> 01:41:19,570
the end of that embroidery.
1858
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:23,440
After 14 years,
late for the first time.
1859
01:41:23,480 --> 01:41:26,550
Yes.
Yes, maddening.
1860
01:41:27,330 --> 01:41:31,480
I was detained by
a visitor. Most unexpected.
1861
01:41:32,150 --> 01:41:33,660
An old friend of mine.
1862
01:41:34,540 --> 01:41:36,830
At least a very
old acquaintance.
1863
01:41:36,870 --> 01:41:38,320
Did you tell him
to go away?
1864
01:41:38,980 --> 01:41:40,410
For the time being, yes.
1865
01:41:40,440 --> 01:41:45,270
I said excuse me,
I see that it's Saturday,
1866
01:41:45,620 --> 01:41:48,200
I have a previous
engagement.
1867
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:49,620
One I cannot miss.
1868
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:52,340
Even for you.
1869
01:41:53,250 --> 01:41:55,310
Come back an hour from now.
1870
01:41:55,420 --> 01:41:59,170
Your friend will have to wait.
I shall not let you go till dark.
1871
01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:04,970
Perhaps a little before dark,
I must go.
1872
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:09,080
Oh, then tell me now
the court news. My Gazette.
1873
01:42:10,390 --> 01:42:14,190
Ah, yes, well, let me see.
1874
01:42:16,350 --> 01:42:20,840
Saturday, 19th, the King
fell ill after eight helpings of
1875
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:22,170
grape marmalade.
1876
01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:26,320
Grape marmalade will
no longer be served at court.
1877
01:42:28,190 --> 01:42:33,010
Sunday, the royal pulse
is now normal.
1878
01:42:34,630 --> 01:42:37,930
Monday, everyone was
talking about the success
1879
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:39,600
of Moliere's new play.
1880
01:42:40,830 --> 01:42:46,110
Tuesday, the King fell ill
after six helpings of marone glacee.
1881
01:42:47,910 --> 01:42:50,130
Marone glacee will no
longer be served at court.
1882
01:42:51,710 --> 01:42:55,700
Wednesday, the Compte de Firske
spoke to Madame de Monte Glas.
1883
01:42:56,500 --> 01:42:59,380
She said....no.
1884
01:43:01,480 --> 01:43:07,450
Thursday.... Nothing.
1885
01:43:07,490 --> 01:43:10,580
Friday, Madame de Monte Glas
said yes.
1886
01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:18,800
Saturday, 25th....
1887
01:43:19,450 --> 01:43:20,520
Cyrano!
1888
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:24,010
What is it?
Cyrano!
1889
01:43:28,660 --> 01:43:31,300
- Oh, no, no, it is nothing.
- What?
1890
01:43:31,750 --> 01:43:34,200
The old wound at Arras
sometimes...
1891
01:43:34,230 --> 01:43:36,980
- My poor friend.
- No, no, no, it is nothing.
1892
01:43:37,830 --> 01:43:39,350
It will soon be gone.
1893
01:43:41,010 --> 01:43:44,990
(gasp) There. 'Tis gone.
1894
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:48,480
We all have
our old wounds.
1895
01:43:49,020 --> 01:43:53,920
I have mine here,
under this faded scrap of writing.
1896
01:43:55,380 --> 01:43:57,340
It's hard to read now.
1897
01:43:58,370 --> 01:44:01,340
All for the blots
and tears.
1898
01:44:01,370 --> 01:44:02,560
His letter?
1899
01:44:03,480 --> 01:44:06,650
Did you not promise me,
that someday you would let me read it?
1900
01:44:07,090 --> 01:44:12,350
- This letter? You wish...?
- I do wish it....today.
1901
01:44:22,650 --> 01:44:24,230
Open it and read.
1902
01:44:49,700 --> 01:44:54,660
"Farewell, Roxane,
because today I die."
1903
01:44:54,690 --> 01:44:56,000
Aloud?
1904
01:44:57,180 --> 01:45:00,150
"I know that it will be today,
my own dearly beloved.
1905
01:45:01,630 --> 01:45:04,900
"Yet, my heart still so heavy
with love I have not told.
1906
01:45:06,440 --> 01:45:11,330
"And I shall die without telling you.
1907
01:45:11,900 --> 01:45:15,740
"No more shall my eyes
drink the sight of you like wine,
1908
01:45:16,230 --> 01:45:19,180
"never more with a look
that is a kiss,
1909
01:45:19,740 --> 01:45:22,430
"follow the sweet
grace of you."
1910
01:45:22,470 --> 01:45:24,400
How you read it.
His letter.
1911
01:45:24,440 --> 01:45:26,300
"I remember now the way you have
1912
01:45:26,340 --> 01:45:30,280
"of pushing back a lock of hair
with one hand from your forehead,
1913
01:45:30,860 --> 01:45:33,270
- "and my heart cries out..."
- His letter!
1914
01:45:33,310 --> 01:45:35,000
- "cries out and keeps crying."
1915
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:38,240
- You read it so...
- "Farewell, my dear, my dearest,"
1916
01:45:38,270 --> 01:45:40,650
- In a voice...
- "my own heart's own,"
1917
01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:44,230
- "my own treasure,"
- In such a voice!
- "my...love."
1918
01:45:44,260 --> 01:45:47,140
Yes, I remember hearing long ago.
1919
01:45:47,490 --> 01:45:52,210
"I am never away from you.
Even now I shall not leave you.
1920
01:45:53,110 --> 01:45:56,360
"In another world, I shall
still be that one who loves you,
1921
01:45:56,390 --> 01:46:00,110
"loves you beyond measure,
beyond..."
1922
01:46:09,180 --> 01:46:11,130
But, how can you read it now?
1923
01:46:14,420 --> 01:46:17,810
And all those 14 years
he has been the old friend
1924
01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:19,650
who came to me to be amusing.
1925
01:46:20,930 --> 01:46:23,170
- Roxane.
- It was you.
1926
01:46:23,910 --> 01:46:24,880
No, no, Roxane, no.
1927
01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:28,100
And I might have know it every time
that I heard you speak my name.
1928
01:46:28,130 --> 01:46:31,690
- No, it was not I.
- It was you!
- I swear.
1929
01:46:32,460 --> 01:46:34,810
- The letters. That was you.
- No.
1930
01:46:35,140 --> 01:46:38,960
- And the dear foolish words.
That was you.
- No.
1931
01:46:39,190 --> 01:46:43,290
- And the voice in the dark.
That was you.
- On my honor!
1932
01:46:43,330 --> 01:46:47,170
And the soul.
It was all you.
1933
01:46:47,270 --> 01:46:49,180
I never loved you.
1934
01:46:49,350 --> 01:46:50,850
Yes, you loved me.
1935
01:46:50,970 --> 01:46:52,740
Even now you love me.
1936
01:46:53,660 --> 01:46:55,610
(gasp)
No!
1937
01:46:55,650 --> 01:46:57,920
And twice you're great to know.
1938
01:46:57,950 --> 01:47:00,760
Oh, no, no, my own dear love,
I love you not.
1939
01:47:03,340 --> 01:47:05,840
Why were you silent
for so many years?
1940
01:47:06,580 --> 01:47:07,860
All the while.
1941
01:47:08,090 --> 01:47:11,110
Every night, and every day,
he gave me nothing.
1942
01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:13,120
You knew that.
1943
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:16,680
You knew in that letter
lying on my breast.
1944
01:47:17,940 --> 01:47:19,230
Your tears.
1945
01:47:20,580 --> 01:47:22,770
You knew they
were your tears.
1946
01:47:26,390 --> 01:47:28,270
The blood was his.
1947
01:47:29,370 --> 01:47:30,200
Cyrano!
1948
01:47:32,690 --> 01:47:34,320
Here! He's here.
1949
01:47:34,490 --> 01:47:36,270
Oh, what recklessness.
1950
01:47:36,310 --> 01:47:36,570
No.
1951
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:37,430
I knew it!
1952
01:47:37,490 --> 01:47:40,440
- Oh Madame he has killed
himself coming here.
- No. Shh.
1953
01:47:40,700 --> 01:47:42,220
That drink is, what is it?
1954
01:47:42,290 --> 01:47:45,510
Nothing. I did not
finish my Gazette.
1955
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:49,970
Saturday, 26th, an hour
or so before dinner
1956
01:47:50,540 --> 01:47:55,340
Ms. de Bergerac died,
foully murdered.
1957
01:47:55,690 --> 01:47:57,470
Cyrano, what have
they done to you?
1958
01:47:57,600 --> 01:47:59,540
How fate loves a jest.
1959
01:47:59,980 --> 01:48:03,000
Behold me ambushed,
taken unawares.
1960
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:08,830
My noble foe, a lackey.
My battlefield, a gutter.
1961
01:48:09,490 --> 01:48:10,950
It seems too logical.
1962
01:48:11,370 --> 01:48:13,040
They have missed everything,
1963
01:48:13,820 --> 01:48:15,290
even my death.
1964
01:48:16,330 --> 01:48:17,950
Sisters! Sisters!
1965
01:48:17,990 --> 01:48:21,350
No, do not go away.
I may not be here when you return.
1966
01:48:22,030 --> 01:48:23,760
You shall not die.
1967
01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:25,460
(sobbing)
I love you.
1968
01:48:25,490 --> 01:48:27,410
No, my lady,
it's not in the story.
1969
01:48:28,100 --> 01:48:29,900
When beauty said
I love you to the beast
1970
01:48:29,930 --> 01:48:32,990
all his ugliness changed
and dissolved, like magic.
1971
01:48:33,550 --> 01:48:37,370
But, you see,
I am still the same.
1972
01:48:37,440 --> 01:48:39,430
And I have
done this to you.
1973
01:48:39,470 --> 01:48:40,620
You? Why no.
1974
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:42,060
All my fault, mine!
1975
01:48:42,100 --> 01:48:43,320
On the contrary.
1976
01:48:44,060 --> 01:48:47,080
I have never know womanhood
in its sweetness, but for you.
1977
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:50,750
My mother did not
like to look at me.
1978
01:48:52,050 --> 01:48:53,530
I never had a sister.
1979
01:48:54,880 --> 01:49:01,130
Later, I feared those sweethearts
with mockery behind her smile.
1980
01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:06,150
But, because of you,
I have had across my life
1981
01:49:06,930 --> 01:49:10,600
one whispering, silken gown.
1982
01:49:12,780 --> 01:49:15,200
I never loved but
one man in my life.
1983
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:18,680
I have lost him, twice.
1984
01:49:19,660 --> 01:49:23,540
(sobbing)
1985
01:49:23,570 --> 01:49:27,890
I would not have you mourning
any less that good, noble Christian.
1986
01:49:28,980 --> 01:49:32,570
But, perhaps, I ask only this,
1987
01:49:34,100 --> 01:49:36,370
when the great cold
gathers around my bones,
1988
01:49:37,770 --> 01:49:42,590
you may give a double
meaning to your widow's weeds.
1989
01:49:43,910 --> 01:49:50,900
The tears you let fall for him,
may for a little, be my tears.
1990
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:53,040
Oh, my love!
1991
01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:58,400
No, not here.
Not lying down.
1992
01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:01,300
Let no one help me.
No one need help me.
1993
01:50:06,310 --> 01:50:07,430
It is coming.
1994
01:50:08,260 --> 01:50:11,460
I feel already shod with marble.
1995
01:50:12,720 --> 01:50:13,950
Gloved with lead.
1996
01:50:14,730 --> 01:50:16,700
Very well,
let the old fellow come now.
1997
01:50:17,190 --> 01:50:19,600
He shall find me
on my feet.
1998
01:50:21,670 --> 01:50:23,120
Sword in hand.
1999
01:50:23,160 --> 01:50:24,110
Cyrano!
2000
01:50:24,500 --> 01:50:25,890
He'd delirious.
2001
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:28,000
I see him now.
2002
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:28,700
He grins.
2003
01:50:28,740 --> 01:50:30,750
He is looking at my nose!
2004
01:50:30,790 --> 01:50:31,820
That skeleton.
2005
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:33,730
You there.
2006
01:50:33,970 --> 01:50:34,670
Who are you?
2007
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:36,950
A hundred against one, eh?
2008
01:50:37,300 --> 01:50:40,020
I know them now,
my ancient enemies.
2009
01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:40,960
Falsehood, there!
2010
01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:42,470
There, Prejudice!
2011
01:50:42,490 --> 01:50:44,100
Compromise, Cowardice.
2012
01:50:44,580 --> 01:50:47,160
What's that?
Surrender? No, never!
2013
01:50:47,190 --> 01:50:48,430
Never!
2014
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:50,820
Ah, you too, Vanity.
2015
01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:54,180
I knew you would
overthrow me in the end.
2016
01:50:54,210 --> 01:50:57,310
No, I fight, I fight on,
I fight....ow!
2017
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:01,000
(gasping)
2018
01:51:06,540 --> 01:51:08,550
All my laurels
you have riven away.
2019
01:51:10,290 --> 01:51:11,770
And my roses.
2020
01:51:12,940 --> 01:51:15,600
Yet, in spite of you,
there is one crown
2021
01:51:15,630 --> 01:51:16,980
I made away with me.
2022
01:51:17,020 --> 01:51:20,380
And tonight when I
enter before God,
2023
01:51:21,850 --> 01:51:27,140
my salute shall sweep away
the stars from the blue threshold.
2024
01:51:28,310 --> 01:51:33,240
One thing without stain,
unspotted from the world,
2025
01:51:34,240 --> 01:51:40,610
in spite of doom, mine own,
...and that is...
2026
01:51:43,220 --> 01:51:51,220
my...white...plume...

In seventeenth-century Paris, poet and supreme swordsman Cyrano de Bergerac (José Ferrer) stops a play from being shown because he ostensibly cannot stand the bombastic style of the principal actor, Montfleury (Arthur Blake). An annoyed aristocratic fop, the Vicomte de Valvert (Albert Cavens), provokes him into a duel by tritely insulting Cyrano's enormous nose. Cyrano first mocks his lack of wit, improvising numerous inventive ways in which Valvert could have phrased it (much to the amusement of the audience). He then composes a ballade for the occasion on the spot and recites it during the sword fight. With the last line, he stabs his opponent.
Cyrano's friend Le Bret (Morris Carnovsky), Captain of the Gascony Guards, warns him he has made powerful enemies of his victim's friends, but he is unconcerned. When Le Bret presses him to reveal the real reason he hates Montfleury, Cyrano admits that he became jealous when he saw the actor smiling at his beautiful cousin Roxane (Mala Powers). He confesses that he is in love with her, but harbors no hope of it being returned because of his nose. When he receives a request from Roxane to see her in the morning, he is finally emboldened to act.
Then pastry chef and fellow poet Ragueneau (Lloyd Corrigan) approaches him for help. Ragueneau has learned that a nobleman he had mocked with his verses, the Comte De Guiche (Ralph Clanton), has hired a hundred ruffians to teach him a lesson. Cyrano escorts him, kills eight of the horde, and drives off the rest.
The next day, before he can tell Roxane of his feelings, she informs him that she has fallen in love with a handsome guardsman, Christian de Neuvillette (William Prince), though she has not even spoken to him. Cyrano hides his devastation and agrees to help her.
Cyrano befriends the young man, who is in Cyrano's guards' unit, and discovers that he is infatuated with Roxane, but is too inept with words to woo her. To help him, Cyrano composes Christian's love letters to Roxane, which she finds irresistible. Later, Christian decides he wants no more help and tries to speak to Roxane face to face, but fails miserably and she re-enters her house in an angry huff. Cyrano, hiding in the bushes, comes to his rescue, but this time by imitating Christian's voice and speaking to Roxane from under her balcony. He is so eloquent that he (unintentionally) wins a kiss for Christian from Roxane.
When the arrogant Comte De Guiche, who is also wooing Roxane, pressures her to marry him, Cyrano delays him long enough for her to wed Christian instead. Furious, De Guiche, Christian's commander, orders him to join his unit immediately for a war against the Spanish, preventing the couple from spending their wedding night together.
With Cyrano under his command as well, De Guiche earns the swordsman's respect by his conduct in the war. From the field, Cyrano sends Roxane letters every day, supposedly written by Christian. Roxane visits her husband in camp and tells him that she now has fallen in love with him not merely for his looks but because of his words, and would love him even if he were ugly. Realizing that she really loves Cyrano, Christian gets his rival to agree to tell Roxane the truth and let her decide between them. But before the opportunity arises, Christian volunteers for a dangerous mission and is fatally wounded, silencing Cyrano.
Roxane enters a convent in mourning. Years pass, with Cyrano visiting Roxane weekly, having retired from the military and writing satirical articles mocking the nobility. De Guiche, who has also befriended her and has come to respect Cyrano, has overheard a courtier plotting against Cyrano. De Guiche warns Roxane that Cyrano's life may be in danger. One night, Cyrano is lured into an ambush; the poet is run down by a carriage. Near death, he hides his injuries and goes to keep his appointment with Roxane for the last time. His secret love for Roxane is finally revealed when he recites from memory the last of his love letters, which she has kept, but it is too late. Cyrano first slips into delirium, then dies, leaving Roxane to mourn a second time.

(applause continues)
3
00:02:26,210 --> 00:02:29,890
<i>Thrice happy he who hides
from pomp and power</i>
4
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:33,590
<i>in sylvan shade
or solitary bower</i>
5
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,630
<i>where balmy zephyrs
fan his burning cheeks...</i>
6
00:02:37,660 --> 00:02:41,460
- Clown! The king of clowns!
Leave the stage at once!
7
00:02:43,970 --> 00:02:44,620
- Who is it?
8
00:02:44,650 --> 00:02:47,570
It's Cyrano.
I was afraid he'd do this.
9
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,250
<i>Thrice happy he
who hides from pomp and power...</i>
10
00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:54,910
- Wretch! Did I not forbid
you to appear this month?
11
00:02:57,940 --> 00:02:59,260
- Let's be quiet.
- Quiet!
12
00:03:00,190 --> 00:03:01,380
- Go on Montfleury.
13
00:03:04,270 --> 00:03:06,400
<i>Thrice happy he who...</i>
14
00:03:06,430 --> 00:03:07,630
- He who, indeed.
15
00:03:07,660 --> 00:03:10,730
- Donkeys say rather Hee-Haw!
16
00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:17,790
Begone! Or must I come and
help you off the stage myself?
17
00:03:21,130 --> 00:03:24,000
What! Still there?
18
00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:28,220
<i>Where balmy zephyrs
fan his burning cheeks... </i>
19
00:03:28,250 --> 00:03:32,050
Fat swine, if you dare breathe
on balmy zephyr more
20
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,640
I'll fan your cheeks
for you!
21
00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:36,480
Monsieur, won't you all
protect me?
22
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,090
- Proceed, proceed.
- Go on.
23
00:03:38,130 --> 00:03:40,880
Sir, I will not allow you
to insult me in this manner.
24
00:03:40,910 --> 00:03:43,520
Really?
What manner would you prefer?
25
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:44,850
Quiet, down there!
26
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,940
- We'll tolerate
no more of this.
27
00:03:47,870 --> 00:03:49,720
Go on with the play,
Montfleury.
28
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:52,380
(shouting criticisms)
29
00:03:52,410 --> 00:03:54,480
Unless these gentlemen
retain your seats
30
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,790
my sword may
bite their ribbons.
31
00:03:56,830 --> 00:03:58,650
Who is this braggart?
32
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,070
My cousin, sir.
33
00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:04,710
Well, Montfleury,
still no exit?
34
00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:06,930
- Very well then,
I enter
35
00:04:06,970 --> 00:04:11,740
with knife, to carve
this fat, stuffed goose.
36
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:14,800
(ominous music begins)
37
00:04:14,830 --> 00:04:18,080
(crowd clamors)
38
00:04:20,030 --> 00:04:22,170
I pray, do not crowd
my scabbard here.
39
00:04:22,210 --> 00:04:24,320
She may put her
tongue out at you.
40
00:04:24,350 --> 00:04:27,140
(shouted recriminations)
41
00:04:29,870 --> 00:04:30,990
Silence.
42
00:04:31,910 --> 00:04:33,830
I say be silent!
43
00:04:35,450 --> 00:04:38,260
And I offer one universal
challenge to you all:
44
00:04:38,460 --> 00:04:41,410
Will all who wish to die,
please raise their hands.
45
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,360
Approach, young heroes.
I will take your names.
46
00:04:45,140 --> 00:04:47,830
To the first man who falls
I'll build a monument.
47
00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:49,710
Who will head the list?
48
00:04:50,010 --> 00:04:50,780
You, sir?
49
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,000
No.
50
00:04:52,830 --> 00:04:53,610
You?
51
00:04:54,470 --> 00:04:55,170
No, no.
52
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,770
Anyone?
53
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,600
Anyone at all?
54
00:05:01,110 --> 00:05:03,550
Not one...name?
55
00:05:04,260 --> 00:05:06,420
Not one finger?
56
00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:10,260
Very well then,
I go on.
57
00:05:16,130 --> 00:05:18,810
Attend to me, Full Moon.
58
00:05:21,340 --> 00:05:24,190
I clap my hands three times, thus.
59
00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:26,740
(three claps)
60
00:05:26,770 --> 00:05:30,320
At the third, you will...
eclipse yourself.
61
00:05:30,490 --> 00:05:31,390
Ready!
62
00:05:32,110 --> 00:05:32,910
One.
63
00:05:34,010 --> 00:05:34,900
(clap)
64
00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:36,070
How dare you.
65
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:37,210
I demand!
66
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,070
I insist.
67
00:05:38,110 --> 00:05:40,150
- I call upon all the nobles...
- Two!
68
00:05:41,010 --> 00:05:42,080
(clap)
69
00:05:42,110 --> 00:05:43,090
This is an outrage.
70
00:05:43,130 --> 00:05:44,040
You hear, an outrage.
71
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:46,620
Nothing on earth
will move me from this stage.
72
00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:48,800
Three!
73
00:05:49,570 --> 00:05:49,910
(clap)
74
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:55,410
(laughter)
75
00:05:56,260 --> 00:05:59,210
Fair ladies and noble gentlemen...
- Boo!
76
00:05:59,250 --> 00:06:02,560
(laughter)
77
00:06:02,950 --> 00:06:04,210
But, Monsieur de Bergerac,
78
00:06:04,250 --> 00:06:07,490
why have you done this
to our Montfleury, an admirable actor?
79
00:06:07,530 --> 00:06:10,090
I have two reasons,
either one conclusive.
80
00:06:10,670 --> 00:06:12,800
First, he is an
abominable actor,
81
00:06:12,830 --> 00:06:15,870
who mouths his verse
and moans his tragedy.
82
00:06:16,350 --> 00:06:17,630
Second,....
83
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:20,970
Well, that's my secret.
84
00:06:22,530 --> 00:06:25,280
But...
But you've closed the play!
85
00:06:25,310 --> 00:06:26,880
It is not a very good play.
86
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:28,970
Huh!
And of their money?
87
00:06:29,010 --> 00:06:31,080
Possibly you would like
that returned to these good people.
88
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:31,960
Yes?
89
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,360
Yes.
90
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:35,830
Here,...catch!
91
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:37,920
(crowd murmurs)
92
00:06:38,410 --> 00:06:41,960
Well, Monsieur, you are hereby
authorized to close our play every night.
93
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,200
On these terms.
94
00:06:43,230 --> 00:06:43,740
(laughter)
95
00:06:43,780 --> 00:06:46,400
Ladies and gentlemen,
your money will be returned.
96
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,250
Kindly pass out, quietly.
97
00:06:48,290 --> 00:06:50,030
Goodnight, goodnight.
98
00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:53,220
(crowd accepts
in good spirits)
99
00:06:55,740 --> 00:06:57,120
(until...)
100
00:06:59,530 --> 00:07:02,610
Your cousin is an
extraordinary man, Madame.
101
00:07:02,650 --> 00:07:04,080
Oh, I agree.
102
00:07:04,410 --> 00:07:08,550
Soldier, poet, philosopher,
musician, playwright.
103
00:07:08,580 --> 00:07:09,570
All those?
104
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,360
Yes, and the best
swordsman in Paris.
105
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,310
Really?
106
00:07:14,340 --> 00:07:17,060
Now, I should have thought
the Vicomte here had that honor.
107
00:07:17,310 --> 00:07:21,360
Tell me, Madame, that
comic mask, that nose,
108
00:07:21,390 --> 00:07:23,300
presently he will take it off?
109
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:25,950
No, Monsieur, he keeps it.
110
00:07:26,450 --> 00:07:29,350
And heaven help
the man who smiles.
111
00:07:29,850 --> 00:07:31,060
Good night.
112
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,880
Oh, Monsieur!
113
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,980
Monsieur!
114
00:07:40,020 --> 00:07:42,710
Uh, when do you leave Paris?
115
00:07:43,210 --> 00:07:44,100
Sir?
116
00:07:44,250 --> 00:07:46,280
Why, after what you've
just done to Montfleury,
117
00:07:46,310 --> 00:07:48,750
did you not know that
the Compte de Guiche was his patron?
118
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:50,190
Who's yours?
119
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:52,140
No one.
120
00:07:52,170 --> 00:07:52,940
No one?
121
00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:53,870
No patron?
122
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:54,630
I said not.
123
00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:56,900
But the Compte de Guiche
has a long arm.
124
00:07:56,930 --> 00:07:58,900
Mine is longer
by three feet of steel.
125
00:07:59,530 --> 00:08:00,180
Yes, but..
126
00:08:00,860 --> 00:08:02,160
but, what a scare...
127
00:08:02,190 --> 00:08:02,990
You may go now.
128
00:08:03,020 --> 00:08:04,510
- but...
- You may go.
129
00:08:05,810 --> 00:08:08,620
Well, tell me,
why are you staring at my nose?
130
00:08:08,650 --> 00:08:10,160
Oh, I was not staring.
131
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:11,630
Does it astonish you?
132
00:08:11,660 --> 00:08:13,920
Why n...Why no, I've been careful
not to look.
133
00:08:13,950 --> 00:08:15,510
Oh, and why not, if you please?
134
00:08:15,550 --> 00:08:16,730
It disgusts you, then?
135
00:08:16,770 --> 00:08:17,880
But, no, I just...
136
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,700
Does its color appear
to you unwholesome?
137
00:08:19,730 --> 00:08:20,480
By no means.
138
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,310
Then, possibly you find it
just a trifle large?
139
00:08:22,340 --> 00:08:24,500
No, small, very small, tiny!
140
00:08:24,530 --> 00:08:25,640
Infinitesimal!
141
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,960
What?
You accuse me of absurdity?
142
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,730
Small, my nose?
Why magnificent, my nose!
143
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,900
You pug, you knob,
you button head,
144
00:08:34,930 --> 00:08:37,170
know that I glory
in this nose of mine!
145
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,400
For a great nose
indicates a great man,
146
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:45,440
congenial, courteous,
intellectual, virile, courageous.
147
00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:48,050
Whilst that face of yours,
148
00:08:48,370 --> 00:08:54,070
that blank, inglorious concavity
which my right hand finds on top of you,
149
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:59,630
is as devoid of pride, of poetry,
of soul, of picturesqueness,
150
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:04,810
of contour, of character,
of nose, in short,
151
00:09:04,850 --> 00:09:09,740
as that which is at the bottom of
that limp spine of yours my left foot...
- Oh, help!
152
00:09:09,780 --> 00:09:11,550
(laughter)
153
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:13,840
Presently, this fellow
will grow tiresome.
154
00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:16,590
Oh, he blows his horn.
155
00:09:17,330 --> 00:09:19,800
- Well, will no one
put him in his place?
156
00:09:20,270 --> 00:09:22,660
If you would all me.
Observe.
157
00:09:25,090 --> 00:09:31,260
Monsieur, your nose,
your nose is rather large.
158
00:09:34,450 --> 00:09:35,400
Rather?
159
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,350
Oh, well.
160
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:37,620
Is that all?
161
00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:38,540
Well, of course, you...
162
00:09:38,570 --> 00:09:40,400
Ah, no young sir, you're too simple.
163
00:09:40,430 --> 00:09:42,620
Why, you might have
said a great many things.
164
00:09:42,650 --> 00:09:44,800
Why waste your opportunity?
165
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:45,860
For example, thus...
166
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:47,450
Aggressive---
167
00:09:47,490 --> 00:09:51,040
I, sir, if that great nose were mine,
I would have it amputated on the spot.
168
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:52,710
Practical---
169
00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:56,570
How do you drink with such a nose.
You must have had a cup made especially.
170
00:09:56,850 --> 00:09:57,880
Descriptive---
171
00:09:57,910 --> 00:10:00,570
'Tis a rock, a crag, a cape.
172
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,510
A cape, say rather, a peninsula.
173
00:10:05,890 --> 00:10:06,990
Inquisitive---
174
00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:11,400
Uh, what is that receptacle,
a razor case or a portfolio?
175
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,680
Kindly---
176
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,840
Ah, do you love the little birds so much
that when they come and sing to you,
177
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,690
you give them this to perch on?
178
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,570
Cautious---
179
00:10:20,610 --> 00:10:24,120
Take care. A weight like that
might make you top-heavy.
180
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,250
Eloquent---
181
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,510
When it blows the typhoon howls
and the clouds darken.
182
00:10:29,580 --> 00:10:30,400
Dramatic---
183
00:10:30,430 --> 00:10:34,690
When it bleeds...the Red Sea.
184
00:10:35,540 --> 00:10:36,530
Simple---
185
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:39,640
Eh, when do they
unveil the monument?
186
00:10:40,020 --> 00:10:40,900
Military---
187
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:43,510
Beware, a secret weapon!
188
00:10:44,290 --> 00:10:45,620
Enterprising---
189
00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:48,080
What a sigh for some perfumer!
190
00:10:48,490 --> 00:10:49,300
Respectful---
191
00:10:49,330 --> 00:10:52,050
Uh sir, I recognize in you
a man of parts,
192
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,740
a man of...prominence.
193
00:10:54,770 --> 00:10:56,500
Or, Literary---
194
00:10:56,530 --> 00:10:59,360
Was this the nose
that launched a thousand ships?
195
00:11:00,010 --> 00:11:02,850
These, my dear sir, are things
you might have said had you
196
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,690
some tinge of letters or of wit
to color your discourse.
197
00:11:05,810 --> 00:11:07,970
Bit wit not so.
You never had an atom.
198
00:11:08,270 --> 00:11:14,480
And of letters, you need
but three to write you down, a..s..s.
199
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:16,530
Ass.
200
00:11:16,570 --> 00:11:18,040
- (laughter)
- You, sir!
201
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,600
Dolt! Bumpkin! Fool!
202
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:26,620
How do you do, and I,
Cyrano Savinien Hercule de Bergerac.
203
00:11:26,650 --> 00:11:28,050
Vicomte, come.
204
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,650
Such arrogance.
This scarecrow who...
205
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:31,850
Look at him!
206
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,120
No ribbons. No lace.
Not even gloves!
207
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,700
True. I carry my adornments
only on my soul.
208
00:11:39,740 --> 00:11:41,860
Decked with deeds
instead of ribbons.
209
00:11:41,890 --> 00:11:43,420
Mantled in my good name,
210
00:11:43,460 --> 00:11:45,350
and crowned with a
white plume of freedom.
211
00:11:45,380 --> 00:11:46,130
But..
212
00:11:46,170 --> 00:11:47,510
But, I have no gloves.
213
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:48,630
A pity, too.
214
00:11:48,670 --> 00:11:51,630
I had one, the last one of an old pair,
and lost that.
215
00:11:51,660 --> 00:11:53,250
Very careless of me.
216
00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:55,750
Some gentleman offered me
an impertinence.
217
00:11:55,790 --> 00:11:59,840
I left it in his face.
218
00:11:59,870 --> 00:12:00,840
So be it!
219
00:12:02,110 --> 00:12:05,050
You shall die exquisitely
220
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,160
Oh, a poet.
221
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,640
Oh, yes, a poet if you will.
222
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:11,510
So, uh, while we fight,
I'll improvise a ballad for you,
223
00:12:11,540 --> 00:12:15,270
and as I end the refrain,
...skhrch!...thrust home.
224
00:12:15,310 --> 00:12:16,280
Will you?
225
00:12:17,180 --> 00:12:18,130
I will.
226
00:12:21,820 --> 00:12:23,420
(excited crowd)
227
00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:26,890
Ballad au Duel
at the Theatre de Burgoyne
228
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,320
between de Bergerac,
and uh.....a barbarian.
229
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,240
What do you mean by that?
230
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,000
Oh, that?
231
00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:34,960
The title.
232
00:12:34,990 --> 00:12:36,570
(laughter)
233
00:12:36,610 --> 00:12:38,200
Stop. Let me choose my rhyme.
234
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:47,640
So. Here we go.
235
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:50,070
Lightly I toss my hat away.
236
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:55,440
Languidly o'er my arm let fall
the cloak that covers my bright array.
237
00:12:55,510 --> 00:13:00,770
Then, out swords,
and to work withal.
238
00:13:02,660 --> 00:13:05,720
A Lancelot in his lady's hall,
239
00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:10,580
A Spartacus at the Hippodrome,
240
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,340
I dally a while with you..
241
00:13:13,380 --> 00:13:14,750
you jackall.
242
00:13:32,810 --> 00:13:34,360
Just as I end the refrain,
243
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,380
thrust home!
244
00:13:51,290 --> 00:13:54,220
Where shall I skewer my peacock again?
245
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,160
Nay, better for you
to have shunned this brawl.
246
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,010
Here in the heart
or your ribbons, gay,
247
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,610
in the belly
'neath you silken shawl?
248
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,130
Now, come my points floats,
light as the foam
249
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,640
ready to drive you
back to the wall,
250
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:20,030
and then as I end the refrain,
251
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,440
thrust home.
252
00:14:21,930 --> 00:14:23,210
Oh, for a rhyme.
253
00:14:23,580 --> 00:14:25,060
Why, your fight is fading.
254
00:14:25,420 --> 00:14:26,040
You break.
255
00:14:26,350 --> 00:14:26,970
You cower.
256
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:27,600
You cringe.
257
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:28,200
You crawl.
258
00:14:29,310 --> 00:14:30,740
How can I tell
you're allowed to say
259
00:14:30,780 --> 00:14:31,750
something to turn on my head
260
00:14:31,790 --> 00:14:32,720
forestall.....
261
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:33,660
Life with a tunny
262
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:34,970
death with a scall.
263
00:14:35,010 --> 00:14:36,760
Something to turn on my fancy roam,
264
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,670
free for a time till the rhyme's recall,
265
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,620
then as I end the refrain,
266
00:14:40,650 --> 00:14:41,620
thrust home!
267
00:14:43,810 --> 00:14:44,670
Refrain.
268
00:14:45,550 --> 00:14:48,960
Prince,
pray God that is Lord of all,
269
00:14:48,990 --> 00:14:50,840
pardon you soul,
270
00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:54,190
for your time has come.
271
00:14:56,860 --> 00:14:58,820
Pass! I fling you aslant, asprawl.
272
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:00,590
Then as I end the refrain,
273
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,680
thrust home!
274
00:15:41,820 --> 00:15:45,390
(shouts of hurray
and congratulation)
275
00:15:47,130 --> 00:15:49,470
Ladies and gentlemen,
please, please,
276
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:50,790
not until the performance is over.
277
00:15:51,070 --> 00:15:51,980
Close the house.
278
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:52,820
A strike,
279
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,340
but leave the lights.
280
00:15:54,380 --> 00:15:56,070
We rehearse the new
farce tonight.
281
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,240
Wait.
282
00:16:04,110 --> 00:16:05,570
You have only to watch a fight,
283
00:16:05,610 --> 00:16:07,530
or have you ruined
if you listen to them.
284
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:11,570
Think of the enemies you've made,
285
00:16:11,610 --> 00:16:14,050
Montfleury, the Vicomte,
if he lives,
286
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,380
all those foppish marquis,
the Comte de Guiche.
287
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:18,970
That politician.
288
00:16:19,010 --> 00:16:21,910
He's the Cardinal's nephew.
There's power there!
289
00:16:21,950 --> 00:16:23,330
And power here.
290
00:16:23,370 --> 00:16:24,680
Young fool!
291
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,540
Take an example from me.
292
00:16:26,570 --> 00:16:29,810
20 years a captain,
while others who know only
293
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,750
how to deploy their
forces at court
294
00:16:31,780 --> 00:16:33,890
now dangle a marshal's baton.
295
00:16:33,930 --> 00:16:37,360
Well, uh, someday
I will avenge you, too.
296
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,530
Impossible.
Come on, let's go to dinner.
297
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,830
Dinner?
No, not I.
298
00:16:41,860 --> 00:16:42,540
Why not?
299
00:16:42,580 --> 00:16:44,530
Because I have no money.
300
00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:46,150
But, the purse of gold.
301
00:16:46,180 --> 00:16:48,140
Farewell paternal pension.
302
00:16:48,180 --> 00:16:51,430
And you have
until the first of next month?
303
00:16:51,470 --> 00:16:52,310
Nothing.
304
00:16:53,140 --> 00:16:54,460
What a fool.
305
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:56,770
Yes, but, what a moment.
306
00:16:56,810 --> 00:16:57,670
- Pardon, Monsieur.
307
00:17:00,010 --> 00:17:01,770
A man ought
never to go hungry.
308
00:17:02,690 --> 00:17:04,150
I have everything here.
309
00:17:05,490 --> 00:17:06,360
Please.
310
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,080
My dear child, I cannot bend this Gascon
pride of mine to accept such a kindness.
311
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:11,820
But, I...
312
00:17:12,910 --> 00:17:15,810
Yet, for fear that
I may give you pain if I refuse,
313
00:17:16,550 --> 00:17:18,190
I will take something.
314
00:17:19,630 --> 00:17:20,660
A grape.
315
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:25,160
One only.
316
00:17:25,820 --> 00:17:27,170
And a glass of water.
317
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,650
No, clear.
318
00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:35,750
And, uh,...half a macaroon.
319
00:17:37,010 --> 00:17:38,100
Nothing more?
320
00:17:39,060 --> 00:17:39,920
Why, yes.
321
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,230
Your hand to kiss.
322
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,510
Thank you, sir.
323
00:18:02,090 --> 00:18:03,100
Good night.
324
00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:10,290
Idiot.
325
00:18:13,170 --> 00:18:13,890
Dinner.
326
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,160
Drink.
327
00:18:18,830 --> 00:18:19,720
Desert.
328
00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:24,670
Mon Dieux, I was hungry,
abominably.
329
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:26,320
Tell me.
330
00:18:26,590 --> 00:18:27,440
Anything.
331
00:18:27,790 --> 00:18:29,920
Why to you hate
this Montfleury?
332
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:32,860
A very bad actor.
333
00:18:32,890 --> 00:18:34,860
Ah, come now, the real
reason, the truth.
334
00:18:36,610 --> 00:18:39,600
That fat goat who cannot hold
his belly in his arms,
335
00:18:39,630 --> 00:18:42,590
still dreams of being
sweetly dangerous among the women.
336
00:18:43,230 --> 00:18:47,610
Sighs and languishes, making sheep's
eyes out of his great frog's face.
337
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:52,750
I hate him ever since one day
he dared smile upon....
338
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,220
Oh, my friend, I seemed to see over
some flower a great snail crawling.
339
00:19:00,090 --> 00:19:01,180
Eh, what?
340
00:19:02,170 --> 00:19:03,340
Is it possible?
341
00:19:04,890 --> 00:19:06,180
For me to love?
342
00:19:08,770 --> 00:19:09,660
I love.
343
00:19:10,370 --> 00:19:12,570
Whom?
May I know?
344
00:19:12,610 --> 00:19:13,620
Whom I love?
345
00:19:15,070 --> 00:19:16,000
Think a moment.
346
00:19:16,210 --> 00:19:17,280
Think of me.
347
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,670
Me, whom the plainest
woman would despise.
348
00:19:21,030 --> 00:19:25,010
Me, with this nose of mine that
marches on before me by a quarter of an hour.
349
00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:28,000
Whom shall I love.
350
00:19:29,890 --> 00:19:34,930
Why, of course, it must be the
woman in the world most beautiful.
351
00:19:35,780 --> 00:19:37,170
Most beautiful?
352
00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:42,920
In these eyes of mine....
beyond compare.
353
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:44,070
Wait.
354
00:19:44,510 --> 00:19:46,440
Your cousin, Roxane.
355
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,300
Yes.
356
00:19:50,170 --> 00:19:51,080
Roxane.
357
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,810
Well?
358
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,020
Why not?
If you love her, tell her so.
359
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,170
My old friend.
360
00:20:01,150 --> 00:20:03,550
Look at me and tell me how
much hope remains for me
361
00:20:03,580 --> 00:20:04,970
with this protuberance.
362
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,360
Ahhh, I have no more illusions.
363
00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:12,140
Now and then I may grow tender
walking alone in the blue of evening
364
00:20:12,170 --> 00:20:16,130
through some garden fresh with flowers
after the benediction of the rain.
365
00:20:16,980 --> 00:20:20,930
My poor big devil of a nose
inhales April.
366
00:20:21,460 --> 00:20:26,950
And I follow with my eyes where
some boy with a girl upon his arm,
367
00:20:27,510 --> 00:20:32,130
passes a patch of silver...
and I feel somehow....
368
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,490
I wish I had a woman, too,
369
00:20:36,670 --> 00:20:41,660
walking with me under the moon,
and holding my arm and smiling.
370
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:44,240
Then I dream.
371
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:46,140
I forget.
372
00:20:49,510 --> 00:20:53,210
And then I see the shadow
of my profile on the wall.
373
00:20:54,750 --> 00:20:56,050
My friend.
374
00:20:57,180 --> 00:20:58,230
My friend.
375
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,370
I have my bitter days,
knowing myself so ugly, so alone.
376
00:21:03,410 --> 00:21:05,260
Ah, but your wit, your courage,
377
00:21:05,540 --> 00:21:08,170
why that poor child who just
now offered you your dinner,
378
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,710
your saw it, her eyes
did not avoid you.
379
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,920
That is true.
380
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,930
Well, then, Roxane herself,
watching your duel, pale.
381
00:21:18,970 --> 00:21:19,480
Pale?
382
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,670
Yes, her lips parted.
Her hand at her breast, thus.
383
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,020
I saw it.
384
00:21:24,260 --> 00:21:27,260
Speak to her. Speak, man.
385
00:21:35,890 --> 00:21:37,550
She might laugh at me.
386
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:42,480
It is the one thing
in this world I fear.
387
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,490
Pardon, Monsieur,
a lady outside asking for you.
388
00:21:48,410 --> 00:21:49,750
Monsieur.
389
00:21:50,340 --> 00:21:51,270
A Duenna.
390
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,530
I have a message for you
from a...a certain lady.
391
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,760
She desires to know when
and where she may see you privately.
392
00:21:57,810 --> 00:22:00,070
She has certain
things to tell you.
393
00:22:00,690 --> 00:22:01,850
Certain...
394
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,010
Things!
395
00:22:04,230 --> 00:22:05,720
She wishes to see me?
396
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,410
We go tomorrow at dawn
to hear mass at St. Rupe
397
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,070
And afterwards, where
would you suggest?
398
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:12,630
Well, then, I...
399
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:15,300
- Where?
- Well?
400
00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:17,070
Ah....I am thinking.
401
00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:18,080
And you think?
402
00:22:19,770 --> 00:22:20,590
Where?
403
00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:22,060
The shop at Ragueneau's.
404
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:24,580
Yes, yes, Ragueneau,
the pastry cook.
405
00:22:24,620 --> 00:22:25,400
Who dwells?
406
00:22:26,650 --> 00:22:27,590
Rue Saint Honore.
407
00:22:27,630 --> 00:22:28,690
Eh...Rue Saint Honore.
408
00:22:28,730 --> 00:22:33,530
We are agreed. At 7 o'clock.
Until then. Adieu.
409
00:22:38,790 --> 00:22:39,940
I'll be there.
410
00:22:41,620 --> 00:22:44,110
Me! To see me!
411
00:22:44,260 --> 00:22:45,830
Ah, not quite so gloomy.
412
00:22:45,870 --> 00:22:47,580
After all, she knows
that I exist.
413
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,060
Imagine, she has
asked to see me!
414
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:52,240
So, now you're
going to be happy?
415
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,350
Happy.
I'm going to be a storm.
A flame!
416
00:22:55,390 --> 00:22:58,430
I need to fight whole
armies all alone!
417
00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,840
I have ten hearts!
418
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,280
I have a hundred arms!.
419
00:23:01,310 --> 00:23:04,450
I feel too strong
to war with mortals!
420
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,150
BRING ME GIANTS!
421
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:11,240
Quiet, please, shhh.
We are rehearsing back here.
422
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,600
So sorry.
Ha, ha, ha.
423
00:23:21,490 --> 00:23:22,280
Cyrano.
424
00:23:22,830 --> 00:23:23,630
Cyrano.
425
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,590
Ragueneau.
426
00:23:26,150 --> 00:23:27,910
Oh, thank goodness
you're still here.
427
00:23:27,950 --> 00:23:29,180
Well, what's the matter.
428
00:23:29,210 --> 00:23:30,410
I'm afraid to go home.
429
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,040
Why?
430
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,050
You know those
comic verses I wrote?
431
00:23:33,090 --> 00:23:34,830
About the congregation.
432
00:23:34,860 --> 00:23:37,260
Cyrano, he's hired ruffians.
Bullies.
433
00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:39,740
A hundred, waiting for
me on the way home.
434
00:23:39,780 --> 00:23:41,620
They're gonna beat me.
Cane me!
435
00:23:41,650 --> 00:23:44,450
Please, would you permit me
to spend the night with you?
436
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,420
A hundred men,
is that all?
437
00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:49,610
Ragueneau, you're
going home tonight.
438
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,630
But they're armed.
They're cutthroats!
439
00:23:51,690 --> 00:23:53,620
Take this lantern.
Forward march.
440
00:23:53,660 --> 00:23:55,760
I say that I'll be the man
to see you to your shop.
441
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,150
Not you, I want no help from you.
442
00:23:57,190 --> 00:23:58,510
For even for a hundred,
you're mad.
443
00:23:58,550 --> 00:23:59,730
Those are the odds I want.
444
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,420
Why for this pastry cook?
445
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,820
First, because this
pastry cook is a friend of mine.
446
00:24:04,930 --> 00:24:07,820
Second, because this
pastry cook is also a poet.
447
00:24:07,950 --> 00:24:09,360
And, most important,
448
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:12,000
if anything should
happen to this pastry cook,
449
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:16,870
tomorrow morning at seven
his shop will be closed.
450
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:19,590
Goodnight.
451
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,060
(a whistle signal)
452
00:25:37,430 --> 00:25:38,480
Cyrano. Help!
453
00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:43,580
Look out behind you!
454
00:26:22,750 --> 00:26:23,810
I have been robbed.
455
00:26:24,370 --> 00:26:26,070
- There are no hundred here.
456
00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:32,360
It's, it's, it's...
457
00:26:33,820 --> 00:26:35,230
Be quick. Inside.
458
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,550
Bolt the door!
459
00:26:48,510 --> 00:26:49,310
Ah!
460
00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:08,660
Yah!
461
00:27:10,460 --> 00:27:12,210
(ruffians shouting)
462
00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:01,010
Ah!
463
00:28:03,860 --> 00:28:04,560
Awk.
464
00:28:05,860 --> 00:28:08,030
(ruffians shouting)
465
00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:17,280
(Le Bret)
- Cyrano!
466
00:28:17,310 --> 00:28:18,320
- Hold!
467
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:34,330
Ah.
468
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,420
How do you feel?
469
00:28:37,460 --> 00:28:39,540
Oh, pleasantly exhilarated.
470
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:42,990
- Come, I know a little tavern not far...
- Where's Ragueneau?
471
00:28:43,310 --> 00:28:46,320
Ragueneau?
Ragueneau!
472
00:28:46,730 --> 00:28:49,510
Little boy, come out.
All's well!
473
00:28:50,330 --> 00:28:51,990
- Is it over?
- All over.
474
00:28:52,220 --> 00:28:53,020
Really?
475
00:28:54,500 --> 00:28:55,340
So soon?
476
00:28:55,370 --> 00:28:56,140
Ha, ha, ha.
477
00:28:56,170 --> 00:28:59,480
Oh, if only I'd had my sword.
How many did we kill?
478
00:28:59,510 --> 00:29:00,330
Oh, about eight.
479
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:00,960
Eight.
480
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,410
Eight!
481
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,420
Ohhhh.
482
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,910
This.....gentleman
begins to annoy me.
483
00:29:31,980 --> 00:29:33,630
(Ragueneau is a poet, too.)
484
00:29:35,060 --> 00:29:40,010
No. The sauce and meat must rhyme.
Add a pinch of marigold and thyme.
485
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,960
Your house, of course, needs a stronger roof.
Eh? There's proof.
486
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:45,830
Cyrano.
487
00:29:46,830 --> 00:29:47,500
Cyrano.
488
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,100
Come in and eat.
489
00:29:49,130 --> 00:29:51,110
- What time is it?
- Not quite seven.
490
00:29:51,130 --> 00:29:54,140
Oh, now, please, Cyrano.
A man without breakfast is like...
491
00:29:54,180 --> 00:29:56,720
No.
Could she have changed her mind?
492
00:29:56,750 --> 00:29:57,920
Aw, she wouldn't dare.
493
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,900
We were magnificent last night.
494
00:30:00,370 --> 00:30:01,830
And at the theater, too.
495
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,320
'Then, as I end the refrain'....
496
00:30:04,350 --> 00:30:07,390
When she arrives.
Where can we converse undisturbed?
497
00:30:07,420 --> 00:30:09,190
Wherever you like.
My shop is yours.
498
00:30:09,310 --> 00:30:11,900
The little dining room
is quite romantic.
499
00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:14,490
'Thrust home!'
Yea gods, what a line.
500
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,650
- 'Then as I end the re....'
- Vanish.
501
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:18,110
- Uh, huh, she's come?
- Shhhh.
502
00:30:18,140 --> 00:30:18,920
I swear.
503
00:30:27,340 --> 00:30:28,170
Welcome.
504
00:30:38,470 --> 00:30:40,510
- A pardon, one word.
- Oh, yes?
505
00:30:40,550 --> 00:30:41,520
Have you a good digestion?
506
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,430
Oh, wonderful.
507
00:30:43,290 --> 00:30:48,800
Eh, here are some éclairs.
Uh, creampuffs.
508
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,160
Some, uh, jellyrolls.
And do you like nature?
509
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,400
I adore it.
510
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,760
Go out and eat these in the sunshine.
Do not return.
511
00:30:56,790 --> 00:30:57,440
But why?
512
00:30:57,470 --> 00:30:58,910
Until you have finished them.
513
00:30:58,940 --> 00:31:00,340
(outside)
- What do I do then?
514
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,750
(door closes)
515
00:31:09,970 --> 00:31:13,000
Blessed above all others be the hour
when you remember to remember me,
516
00:31:13,230 --> 00:31:15,800
and came to tell me......what?
517
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,750
To tell you that....
518
00:31:19,060 --> 00:31:21,810
Before I dare tell you I....
519
00:31:22,020 --> 00:31:24,850
Are you, I wonder, still
the same big brother almost
520
00:31:24,890 --> 00:31:26,720
that you used to be
when we were children,
521
00:31:26,750 --> 00:31:29,570
playing by the pond
in the old garden down there?
522
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,570
At Bergerac.
Those lovely summers.
523
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,700
You use to make swords
out of bulrushes.
524
00:31:33,740 --> 00:31:35,810
And you, dandelions
also golden hair.
525
00:31:35,890 --> 00:31:37,930
In those days
I could tell you everything.
526
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,860
And you did
everything I wished.
527
00:31:40,060 --> 00:31:44,830
Little Roxane, a sweet tyrone
with short skirts and long hair.
528
00:31:44,860 --> 00:31:45,780
Was I pretty?
529
00:31:49,830 --> 00:31:51,270
Not too plain.
530
00:31:52,150 --> 00:31:54,490
Sometimes when you had fallen
or hurt your hand,
531
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,670
you used to come running to me,
and I would be your mother and say,
532
00:31:57,710 --> 00:32:02,770
oh, with a very grownup voice,
'Now, what have you been doing to yourself?'
533
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,300
'Let me see.'
534
00:32:05,890 --> 00:32:07,060
- Oh!
- No one that.
535
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:08,230
Wait, let me see.
536
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,540
Still. At your age?
537
00:32:12,010 --> 00:32:13,810
Now, how did you do that?
538
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,910
Playing with the big boys
at the Place de Neanne.
539
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:18,410
Come here.
540
00:32:19,330 --> 00:32:21,020
Such a wise little mother.
541
00:32:21,030 --> 00:32:24,740
And tell me, while I wash this
blood away, how many you played with?
542
00:32:24,770 --> 00:32:26,840
- Oh, about a hundred.
- A hundred?
543
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,950
- More or less.
- It can't be.
544
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:31,080
No.
545
00:32:31,670 --> 00:32:33,720
Tell me what you were
going to tell me.....
546
00:32:34,130 --> 00:32:35,320
if you dared.
547
00:32:36,190 --> 00:32:38,060
I think I do dare, now.
548
00:32:38,860 --> 00:32:41,450
It seems so like
those happy days long ago.
549
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,780
Yes, I dare.
550
00:32:44,350 --> 00:32:47,190
Listen....I love someone.
551
00:32:47,850 --> 00:32:48,440
Yes?
552
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,150
Someone who does not know.
553
00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:51,340
Yes?
554
00:32:51,450 --> 00:32:54,970
Someone who loves me, too,
but is afraid of me and keeps away
555
00:32:55,010 --> 00:32:56,340
and never says one word.
556
00:32:57,570 --> 00:32:58,270
(softly)
Yes.
557
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,210
Give my that hand.
558
00:33:01,870 --> 00:33:03,080
Why, how hot it is.
559
00:33:04,390 --> 00:33:06,390
Yes, he loves me.
I am sure of it.
560
00:33:06,740 --> 00:33:07,530
(softly)
Yes.
561
00:33:08,110 --> 00:33:10,730
And he is a soldier, too,
in your own regiment,
562
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,710
your own company.
563
00:33:11,740 --> 00:33:12,750
(loud)
Yes.
564
00:33:13,340 --> 00:33:14,480
Such a man.
565
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,280
He is proud, noble, young, brave,
566
00:33:18,610 --> 00:33:19,700
beautiful!
567
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:22,550
(softly)
Beautiful.
568
00:33:25,180 --> 00:33:26,040
What's the matter?
569
00:33:26,460 --> 00:33:27,160
Oh, nothing.
570
00:33:28,110 --> 00:33:30,210
It's this, my hand.
571
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,280
I love him.
That is all.
572
00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:38,230
And I have never seen him
anywhere except in the theater.
573
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,710
You have never spoken?
574
00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:42,790
Only with our hearts.
575
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,080
Well, then, how do you know?
576
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:50,270
Well, people talk about people,
and I hear things, and...
577
00:33:51,370 --> 00:33:52,700
and I know.
578
00:33:53,890 --> 00:33:55,540
(firmly)
You say he is in the guards?
579
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,530
His name?
580
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,270
Baron Christian de Neuvillette.
581
00:34:02,790 --> 00:34:03,910
You know him?
582
00:34:04,290 --> 00:34:05,650
He is not in the guards.
583
00:34:05,690 --> 00:34:07,020
Yes, since last week.
584
00:34:07,770 --> 00:34:09,550
He is only lately
come to Paris...
585
00:34:09,730 --> 00:34:11,140
from Normandy.
586
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,070
So soon.
So soon we lose our hearts.
587
00:34:15,570 --> 00:34:16,160
What...
(door opens)
588
00:34:16,190 --> 00:34:17,220
(Duenna)
- Monsieur de Bergerac
589
00:34:17,250 --> 00:34:18,850
- I have eaten all the cakes.
590
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,280
Good.
Now, go out and enjoy nature.
591
00:34:23,020 --> 00:34:26,110
But my dear child, you love
only words, wit, poetry.
592
00:34:26,150 --> 00:34:29,950
Why, for all you know,
the man may be a savage or a fool.
593
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:34,290
Not with such eyes.
I read his soul in them.
594
00:34:35,270 --> 00:34:38,360
Yes, all our souls are
written in our eyes.
595
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,720
And you have brought
me here to tell me this?
596
00:34:42,980 --> 00:34:45,890
I do not yet quite understand,
madam, the reason for your confidence.
597
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:52,640
They say, that in your company,
it frightens me, you are all Gascon.
598
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,850
We pick a quarrel with any outsider
who intrudes himself.
599
00:34:54,890 --> 00:34:56,250
Is that what you have heard?
600
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,150
- I'm so afraid for him.
- Not without reason.
601
00:34:59,190 --> 00:35:03,730
And I thought you...
it's you whom they all respect and fear.
602
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,590
You want me to defend
your little Baron?
603
00:35:08,630 --> 00:35:09,740
Will you?
604
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:11,670
Just for me.
605
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,440
Because I have always
been your friend.
606
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,790
And this is what
you want of me?
607
00:35:16,820 --> 00:35:18,430
Will you be his friend?
608
00:35:20,450 --> 00:35:22,200
I will be his friend.
609
00:35:22,230 --> 00:35:23,040
And never let him
fight a duel.
610
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,060
No, never.
611
00:35:24,090 --> 00:35:24,750
Promise?
612
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:26,980
I promise.
613
00:35:27,420 --> 00:35:30,860
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
I knew I could rely on you.
614
00:35:33,930 --> 00:35:35,410
Well, now I must go.
615
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,480
Oh, you never told
me about last night.
616
00:35:43,970 --> 00:35:45,790
Why, you must
have been a hero.
617
00:35:45,820 --> 00:35:50,240
Have write and tell me all about it,
and...about himself.
618
00:35:51,420 --> 00:35:54,330
Oh, you are a darling.
We are great friends, are we not?
619
00:35:54,860 --> 00:35:56,330
He must write to me.
620
00:35:58,390 --> 00:36:01,490
A hundred men against one.
You shall tell me the whole story
621
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:02,980
someday when we have time.
622
00:36:06,570 --> 00:36:10,170
A hundred men.
What courage!
623
00:36:14,030 --> 00:36:16,810
I have done better.
624
00:36:21,820 --> 00:36:22,450
Well?
625
00:36:24,890 --> 00:36:26,050
Let us leave this place.
626
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,620
But the whole company
is on its way here.
627
00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:28,330
Oh, no.
628
00:36:28,370 --> 00:36:30,870
On my heels. Naturally I told
them all about last night.
629
00:36:30,900 --> 00:36:31,880
They're wild.
630
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:32,830
Here they are.
631
00:36:32,860 --> 00:36:35,420
- Yes, but, why did you?
- Perhaps I can stop them.
632
00:36:36,210 --> 00:36:36,870
Never mind.
633
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,220
Cyrano!
634
00:36:39,260 --> 00:36:46,070
(greetings and cheers to Cyrano)
635
00:36:49,130 --> 00:36:51,570
Eight dead men in the street.
Scandalous.
636
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,010
You know my edict
against dueling, nephew.
637
00:36:54,050 --> 00:36:55,580
I expect to have it enforced.
638
00:36:55,610 --> 00:36:58,940
Furthermore, I wish to know
who was responsible for last night's
639
00:36:58,970 --> 00:37:00,410
outrage at the Place de Neanne.
640
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:01,840
I understand, Your Eminence.
641
00:37:02,050 --> 00:37:04,180
Very well.
And now I have news
642
00:37:04,210 --> 00:37:06,310
that should be more
to you liking.
643
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:13,410
I fear, in confidence, our
uneasy armistice with Spain is doomed.
644
00:37:13,450 --> 00:37:14,410
My colonelcy?
645
00:37:14,450 --> 00:37:16,670
You commission has been prepared.
646
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:18,890
Oh, thank you, uncle, thank you.
647
00:37:19,230 --> 00:37:20,630
Oh, one thing more.
648
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,600
Last night at the theater,
the duel in rhyme,
649
00:37:24,790 --> 00:37:26,970
that guardsman with a nose.
650
00:37:27,010 --> 00:37:30,240
- Bergerac, that impossible Gascon.
- Yes, impossible.
651
00:37:30,260 --> 00:37:32,300
- His treatment of Montfleury.
- Abominable.
652
00:37:32,330 --> 00:37:35,230
- The arrogance with which he closed the play.
- Incredible.
653
00:37:35,260 --> 00:37:38,130
- It will be a miracle if the Vicomte survives.
- A sorrow.
654
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,720
What will you do
with him, Your Eminence?
655
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,100
I? Nothing.
656
00:37:41,140 --> 00:37:43,290
I thought I might
leave that to you.
657
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,500
To me?
658
00:37:44,530 --> 00:37:48,270
Yes. Place him somewhere
in your service,
659
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:49,890
with a comfortable allowance.
660
00:37:49,930 --> 00:37:51,390
He looked a little threadbare.
661
00:37:51,430 --> 00:37:55,020
I...You...But, Your Eminence.
You detest dueling.
662
00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:55,960
Of course I do.
663
00:37:56,350 --> 00:37:58,070
Why didn't you prevent it?
664
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,350
I should much prefer
that monsieur de Beregrac
665
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,300
live by the pen,
rather than die by the sword.
666
00:38:06,590 --> 00:38:08,470
Do you not agree, Antoine?
667
00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:12,560
By all means, Your Eminence.
By all means.
668
00:38:14,830 --> 00:38:21,650
'And then, as I end the refrain...
thrust home.'
669
00:38:24,790 --> 00:38:28,740
(Carousing at Ragueneau's)
670
00:38:33,220 --> 00:38:39,860
(noisy celebration of Cyrano's
defeat of 'a hundred' ruffians)
671
00:38:44,210 --> 00:38:46,580
(Antoine Comte de Guiche enters)
672
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:48,620
Monsieur de Bergerac.
673
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,390
Your Excellency.
674
00:38:51,970 --> 00:38:54,750
I have come to express my....
675
00:38:54,790 --> 00:38:58,550
admiration for both
your exploits last night.
676
00:38:58,590 --> 00:39:01,290
Indeed. Thank you.
677
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,900
My dear fellow,
we may have had our differences,
678
00:39:04,930 --> 00:39:07,550
but I am disposed
to forget them.
679
00:39:07,570 --> 00:39:09,710
That is very generous
of you, sir.
680
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:10,560
No, truly.
681
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,970
You are, it seems, a man
of many skills.
682
00:39:14,010 --> 00:39:17,350
A rare combination
soldier and poet.
683
00:39:18,060 --> 00:39:21,750
- Would you care to join my following?
- No, sir.
684
00:39:21,790 --> 00:39:23,260
I do not follow.
685
00:39:23,770 --> 00:39:25,980
I am told you have
written a play.
686
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,510
As you know, my uncle,
the Cardinal, is also a dramatist.
687
00:39:29,540 --> 00:39:30,990
I might help you there.
688
00:39:31,150 --> 00:39:34,050
Cyrano, now at last
you can have it performed.
689
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,200
Why not?
690
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:36,620
I could take it to him.
691
00:39:37,860 --> 00:39:39,330
Really?
692
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,460
Of course.
Let him rewrite a few lines
693
00:39:41,490 --> 00:39:43,770
here and there, and
he'll find a theater for you.
694
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,230
Rewrite...my lines?
695
00:39:47,670 --> 00:39:49,150
Impossible.
696
00:39:49,190 --> 00:39:52,040
Uh, when he likes a thing,
he pays well.
697
00:39:52,070 --> 00:39:53,240
Yes, but not so well as I.
698
00:39:53,270 --> 00:39:55,460
When I have made a line
that sings itself
699
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:57,220
I pay myself a hundred times.
700
00:39:57,250 --> 00:39:58,940
You are proud, my friend.
701
00:39:58,970 --> 00:40:00,020
You have observed that?
702
00:40:00,060 --> 00:40:02,460
- Cyrano.
See what we found in the street.
703
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:05,140
Plumes dropped in their flight
by those fine birds
704
00:40:05,170 --> 00:40:06,860
who showed their
tail feathers!
705
00:40:06,890 --> 00:40:08,590
(laughter)
706
00:40:08,620 --> 00:40:10,180
The man who hired
those scoundrels,
707
00:40:10,210 --> 00:40:12,010
he must be an
angry man today.
708
00:40:12,050 --> 00:40:13,430
Who was it?
Do you know?
709
00:40:13,850 --> 00:40:14,790
It was I.
710
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,870
I hired them to do the sort
of work we do not soil our hands with.
711
00:40:20,660 --> 00:40:22,940
Punishing an insolent poet.
712
00:40:22,970 --> 00:40:25,610
They ought to be mounted
before they spoil.
713
00:40:25,650 --> 00:40:27,850
(laughter)
What shall we do with them?
714
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:36,460
Sir, will you not return these
to your friends?
715
00:40:40,310 --> 00:40:42,190
Have you read Don Quixote?
716
00:40:42,230 --> 00:40:44,650
I have and found
myself the hero.
717
00:40:44,690 --> 00:40:47,770
Be so good as to read once more
the capture of the windmills.
718
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,010
Chapter 13.
719
00:40:50,150 --> 00:40:52,200
Windmills, remember,
if you fight with them...
720
00:40:52,230 --> 00:40:56,590
may swing round their huge arms
and cast you down into the mire.
721
00:40:56,630 --> 00:40:59,010
Or up among the stars.
722
00:41:01,250 --> 00:41:01,970
Gentlemen.
723
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:03,320
Gentlemen.
724
00:41:03,570 --> 00:41:04,550
Gentlemen.
725
00:41:05,220 --> 00:41:06,610
You've done it, now.
726
00:41:06,650 --> 00:41:07,860
You've made your fortune.
727
00:41:07,890 --> 00:41:09,070
He was willing to forget.
728
00:41:09,490 --> 00:41:11,180
There you go again, growling.
729
00:41:11,210 --> 00:41:13,460
Yesss,
this latest pose of yours,
730
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:16,070
ruining every opportunity
that comes you way,
731
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:17,100
becomes exaggerated.
732
00:41:17,140 --> 00:41:18,250
Very well, then, I exaggerate.
733
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:19,710
There are certain things
in this world
734
00:41:19,740 --> 00:41:21,100
a man does well
to carry to extremes.
735
00:41:21,140 --> 00:41:23,710
Your precious independence.
Your white plume.
736
00:41:23,740 --> 00:41:25,410
How do you expect
to succeed in life?
737
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,400
What would you have me do?
738
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,590
Seek for the patronage
of some great man
739
00:41:28,630 --> 00:41:31,880
and like a creeping vine
on a tall tree crawl upward
740
00:41:31,910 --> 00:41:33,520
where I cannot stand alone?
741
00:41:33,940 --> 00:41:34,850
No, thank you.
742
00:41:35,210 --> 00:41:39,880
Be a buffoon in the vile hope
of teasing out a smile on some cold face.
743
00:41:40,340 --> 00:41:41,710
No, thank you.
744
00:41:42,050 --> 00:41:44,260
Eat a toad for breakfast
every morning.
745
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:47,530
Make my knees calloused.
Cultivate a supple spine.
746
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,320
Wear out my belly
groveling in the dust.
747
00:41:49,590 --> 00:41:50,400
No, thank you.
748
00:41:50,860 --> 00:41:54,880
With my left hand scratch the back
of any swine that roots up gold for me
749
00:41:54,910 --> 00:41:58,910
while my right, too proud to know
his partner's business, takes in the fee.
750
00:41:58,940 --> 00:41:59,920
No, thank you.
751
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,810
Shall I use the fire God gave me
to burn incense all day long?
752
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,020
No, thank you.
753
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,410
Struggle to insinuate my name
into the columns of the Gazette?
754
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:13,250
Calculate, scheme, be afraid?
Love more to make a visit than a poem?
755
00:42:13,290 --> 00:42:15,990
Seek introductions, favors,
influences?
756
00:42:16,020 --> 00:42:17,050
No, thank you.
757
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,270
No, I thank you, and
again I thank you.
758
00:42:23,930 --> 00:42:30,320
But, to sing, to laugh, to dream,
to walk in my own way,
759
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,510
free with and eye
to see things as they are.
760
00:42:33,380 --> 00:42:35,240
A voice that means manhood.
761
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,640
To cut my have
the right shoes.
762
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:46,150
And a word, a yes, a no,
to fight, or write,
763
00:42:46,830 --> 00:42:48,440
but never to make
a line I have not heard
764
00:42:48,470 --> 00:42:49,780
in my own heart.
765
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,380
To travel any
road under the sun,
766
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,780
under the stars,
767
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,520
nor care if fame or fortune
lie beyond the bourne.
768
00:43:00,370 --> 00:43:02,250
Yet, with all modesty to say,
769
00:43:03,250 --> 00:43:05,830
my soul be satisfied
with flowers,
770
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:08,000
with weeds,
771
00:43:09,210 --> 00:43:10,840
with thorns, even,
772
00:43:11,910 --> 00:43:14,940
but gather them in the one garden
you may call your own.
773
00:43:16,230 --> 00:43:18,450
In a word, I'm too proud
to be a parasite.
774
00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:21,470
And if mine intellect the germ
that grows towering to heaven
775
00:43:21,500 --> 00:43:22,770
like the mountain pine
776
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,570
I stand not high, it may be,
777
00:43:27,260 --> 00:43:28,460
but alone.
778
00:43:28,500 --> 00:43:31,170
Alone, yes, but why
go about making enemies?
779
00:43:32,100 --> 00:43:35,850
Watching other people
making friends...everywhere,
780
00:43:35,890 --> 00:43:37,980
as a dog makes friends.
781
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,550
I mark the manner of
these canine courtesies,
782
00:43:41,580 --> 00:43:46,770
and think, here comes,
thank heaven, another enemy.
783
00:43:46,810 --> 00:43:52,760
Yes, tell this to all the world,
and then to me say very softly
784
00:43:52,790 --> 00:43:55,540
that she loves you not.
785
00:43:58,830 --> 00:44:00,940
Let me be alone
for a moment.
786
00:44:03,990 --> 00:44:05,050
Cyrano, wait.
787
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,760
Give us your story
of the fight.
788
00:44:07,530 --> 00:44:08,400
Presently.
789
00:44:08,430 --> 00:44:10,010
No, the story, now!
790
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,970
Oh, let him alone.
There's time enough.
791
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,360
I want it now!
792
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,090
As an example for that young
tadpole sneaking out the doorway.
793
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,040
You, there.
794
00:44:25,310 --> 00:44:26,820
Are you addressing me?
795
00:44:28,190 --> 00:44:32,770
Yes, you flat-footed
Norman farmer.
796
00:44:36,190 --> 00:44:37,470
You wish something of me?
797
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:39,950
Listen, Monsieur de...de...de
whatever your name is.
798
00:44:39,980 --> 00:44:40,920
de Neuvillette!
799
00:44:41,090 --> 00:44:43,230
Baron Christan de Neuvillette.
800
00:44:43,270 --> 00:44:45,370
Very well, de Neuvillette.
801
00:44:45,670 --> 00:44:48,080
As you are a newcomer here,
you should know there is a
802
00:44:48,110 --> 00:44:52,300
certain subject or object, if you prefer,
that is never mentioned among us.
803
00:44:52,340 --> 00:44:53,340
And that is....?
804
00:44:53,370 --> 00:44:54,500
Look at me!
805
00:44:54,540 --> 00:44:55,980
(touching his nose)
806
00:44:56,020 --> 00:44:57,360
You understand?
807
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:58,670
You mean....?
808
00:44:58,700 --> 00:45:01,090
Thus we never speak that word.
809
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,390
To even breathe it is
to have to do with him.
810
00:45:04,420 --> 00:45:08,760
He has exterminated several
whose mere tone of voice suggested...
811
00:45:08,790 --> 00:45:12,920
Would you die before your time?
Just mention anything convex.
812
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,530
Or cartilaginous.
813
00:45:14,570 --> 00:45:18,540
One word. One syllable.
One gesture. Nay, one sneeze.
814
00:45:18,570 --> 00:45:21,330
And your handkerchief
becomes your winding sheet.
815
00:45:24,110 --> 00:45:24,920
Captain.
816
00:45:25,430 --> 00:45:26,290
Sir?
817
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:30,090
What is the proper thing to do
when Gascons grow too boastful?
818
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,820
Prove to them that one may
be a Norman and still have courage.
819
00:45:33,850 --> 00:45:35,100
I thank you.
820
00:45:41,330 --> 00:45:43,360
Come on, Cyrano, your story.
821
00:45:44,420 --> 00:45:47,330
(shouts of encouragement)
822
00:45:47,740 --> 00:45:49,540
Now, let me see.
Where shall we begin?
823
00:45:50,450 --> 00:45:52,510
I followed with our host
to meet those scoundrels
824
00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:53,640
not knowing where
they might attack.
825
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,340
No lamps in those narrow
back streets.
826
00:45:57,500 --> 00:45:58,600
No moon in the sky.
827
00:45:59,340 --> 00:46:01,220
Dark. Everything dark.
828
00:46:01,430 --> 00:46:04,040
It was so dark, Mon Dieux,
you could not see beyond...
829
00:46:04,070 --> 00:46:05,470
Your nose!
830
00:46:05,850 --> 00:46:08,480
(Christian shows his courage.)
831
00:46:25,250 --> 00:46:33,250
Who...is that...man...there?
832
00:46:34,260 --> 00:46:35,380
- A new recruit.
833
00:46:36,070 --> 00:46:37,550
- Arrived last week.
834
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,080
A recruit, eh?
835
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:41,940
Ha, ha---.
836
00:46:41,970 --> 00:46:45,320
His name is Christian de Neuvillette.
837
00:46:45,350 --> 00:46:48,660
(Cyrano remembers his
promise to Roxane.)
838
00:46:58,510 --> 00:46:59,570
I see.
839
00:47:02,670 --> 00:47:03,510
Very well.
840
00:47:04,850 --> 00:47:06,470
As I was saying.
841
00:47:10,830 --> 00:47:11,930
It grew dark.
842
00:47:12,460 --> 00:47:15,180
You could not see
your hand before your eyes.
843
00:47:16,310 --> 00:47:19,470
I marched on thinking our all for
the sake of one amateur poet
844
00:47:19,510 --> 00:47:22,660
- who wrote a verse whenever he took a..
- A nose full.
845
00:47:24,370 --> 00:47:25,770
...whenever he took a notion.,
846
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,600
and might antagonize
some dangerous man.
847
00:47:28,630 --> 00:47:30,830
One powerful enough
to make me pay...
848
00:47:30,860 --> 00:47:31,980
Through the nose!
849
00:47:32,010 --> 00:47:33,090
...pay the piper!
850
00:47:33,410 --> 00:47:35,430
After all, I thought,
why am I putting in my..
851
00:47:35,470 --> 00:47:36,310
- Nose!
852
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:39,170
...putting in my oar in a quarrel
that was none of mine,
853
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,240
however now that I am here,
I may as well go through with it.
854
00:47:41,270 --> 00:47:42,840
Come Gascon, do your duty.
855
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,850
Suddenly a sword
flashed in the dark!
856
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:45,810
I caught it fair...
857
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:46,810
On the nose!
858
00:47:47,940 --> 00:47:49,130
...on my blade!
859
00:47:49,170 --> 00:47:50,530
Before I knew it,
there I was...
860
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:51,690
Rubbing noses!
861
00:47:51,730 --> 00:47:53,840
...crossing swords with
harvard's joy once.
862
00:47:53,870 --> 00:47:54,940
I had the bottom then...
863
00:47:54,980 --> 00:47:55,900
A nosegay!
864
00:47:55,940 --> 00:47:57,160
...a monstrous crab tree.
865
00:47:57,610 --> 00:48:00,170
(breathing heavily)
He went down for as a wave.
866
00:48:00,380 --> 00:48:00,990
I charged...
867
00:48:01,030 --> 00:48:02,590
Who was in the air hard.
868
00:48:02,620 --> 00:48:03,450
...at the two of them.
869
00:48:04,750 --> 00:48:05,900
Another lunged,
and I parried...
870
00:48:05,940 --> 00:48:07,220
Through your nose!
871
00:48:07,250 --> 00:48:09,310
Right out of here!
All of you go!
872
00:48:09,340 --> 00:48:10,120
Leave me with him.
873
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,660
To my arms, sir.
You have courage.
874
00:48:28,690 --> 00:48:29,880
- That pleases me.
- Why?
875
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,820
Come, do you not know
I am her brother?
876
00:48:31,850 --> 00:48:32,460
Whose?
877
00:48:32,500 --> 00:48:34,250
Hers. Roxane.
878
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:38,390
Brother?
879
00:48:39,260 --> 00:48:40,170
You?
880
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,150
Well, a distant cousin.
Much the same.
881
00:48:42,510 --> 00:48:44,450
- Then she has told you?
- Everything.
882
00:48:44,580 --> 00:48:46,680
- She loves me?
- Perhaps.
883
00:48:47,610 --> 00:48:49,950
My dear sir, more than I can say.
I am honored.
884
00:48:49,990 --> 00:48:52,040
- Rather sudden.
- Oh, please, forgive me.
885
00:48:52,260 --> 00:48:54,270
If you knew how
much I have admired you.
886
00:48:54,310 --> 00:48:57,620
- Yes, yes, and all those noses.
- Please. I apologize.
887
00:48:59,060 --> 00:49:00,680
Roxane expects a letter.
888
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:02,300
- From me?
- Yes, why not?
889
00:49:02,340 --> 00:49:03,180
Oh,, No.
890
00:49:03,530 --> 00:49:05,880
- Once I write, that ruins everything.
- Why?
891
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,020
Because, any schoolboy can write
to her more gracefully than I.
892
00:49:09,590 --> 00:49:10,730
A fool!
893
00:49:10,900 --> 00:49:14,560
- You did not attack me like a fool.
- Anyone can pick a quarrel.
894
00:49:14,740 --> 00:49:16,580
No, I'm never at loss
for words among men,
895
00:49:16,610 --> 00:49:21,260
but with any women...
paralyzed...speechless, dumb.
896
00:49:21,460 --> 00:49:23,600
I'm one of those
stammering idiots
897
00:49:23,630 --> 00:49:25,270
who can not court a woman.
898
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:26,170
Really?
899
00:49:26,810 --> 00:49:28,700
As for myself,
it seems to me that
900
00:49:28,730 --> 00:49:32,300
given the opportunity,
and if I put my mind to it,
901
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,390
I could do that..
rather well.
902
00:49:35,420 --> 00:49:37,870
Oh, is I had words to say
what I have here!
903
00:49:37,900 --> 00:49:39,450
If I were handsome
like you.
904
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,780
Together, we could make
one mighty hero of romance.
905
00:49:43,820 --> 00:49:45,330
If only I had your wit.
906
00:49:50,570 --> 00:49:51,710
Borrow it, then.
907
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:53,150
What?
908
00:49:54,670 --> 00:49:55,490
Tell me,
909
00:49:56,910 --> 00:49:59,770
would you dare repeat to her
the words I gave you day by day?
910
00:50:00,330 --> 00:50:02,420
Send to her
the letters that I write?
911
00:50:02,460 --> 00:50:04,800
I mean, that Roxane
should have no disillusionment.
912
00:50:05,180 --> 00:50:06,820
Come, shall we win her
both together?
913
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:07,800
For you?
914
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,970
- Why, Cyrano...
- Christian, why not?
915
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,850
I...I'm afraid.
916
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,030
Afraid that when you
have her all alone, you will lose her.
917
00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:16,420
Have not fear,
it is your self she loves.
918
00:50:16,450 --> 00:50:17,920
Give her yourself.
919
00:50:17,950 --> 00:50:23,670
Put into words,
my words...upon your lips.
920
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:25,180
Will you?
921
00:50:26,780 --> 00:50:28,030
Will you?
922
00:50:28,910 --> 00:50:30,740
Does it mean
so much to you?
923
00:50:30,770 --> 00:50:32,360
It means....
924
00:50:34,110 --> 00:50:37,060
It means a comedy,
a situation for a poet.
925
00:50:37,190 --> 00:50:38,350
Come, shall we collaborate?
926
00:50:38,390 --> 00:50:42,420
I'll be your cloak of darkness,
your enchanted sword,
927
00:50:42,460 --> 00:50:45,330
your ring to charm
the fairy princess.
928
00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:49,180
Think!
Is the prize not worth the danger?
929
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:52,980
My friend!
930
00:50:54,620 --> 00:50:55,740
My friend.
931
00:50:56,890 --> 00:51:00,100
Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
932
00:51:00,350 --> 00:51:03,650
Plucking the flowers,
we will keep the plant in bloom.
933
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,010
Thus do I love thee,
my darling.
934
00:51:08,890 --> 00:51:09,670
Idiot.
935
00:51:09,910 --> 00:51:12,200
There are a dozen
ways to read that line.
936
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:14,500
Can't you give it some meaning?
Any meaning!
937
00:51:14,530 --> 00:51:15,950
THUS do I love thee!
938
00:51:15,980 --> 00:51:17,280
Thus do "I" love thee.
939
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:18,550
Thus do I LOVE thee.
940
00:51:18,580 --> 00:51:20,930
Thus do I love THEE,
THEE, THEE.
941
00:51:22,580 --> 00:51:25,680
Who knows your smile
has known a perfect thing.
942
00:51:25,710 --> 00:51:28,400
You are a white rose,
wherein love lies in ambush
943
00:51:28,430 --> 00:51:30,180
for its natural prey.
944
00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:33,760
In the garden of my heart,
you are the most...
945
00:51:33,930 --> 00:51:35,680
eh, the most....
946
00:51:37,450 --> 00:51:39,750
fragrant blossom.
947
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,780
As the tender sapling
thirsts for rain,
948
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,900
as the eagle seeks the sky,
949
00:51:48,030 --> 00:51:51,050
as the wave
hurtles toward the shore,
950
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,990
my heart yearns for you.
951
00:51:54,460 --> 00:51:55,820
Good, good.
952
00:51:55,970 --> 00:51:58,740
You know, you're beginning
to have a feel for words.
953
00:51:58,770 --> 00:52:02,010
- Words. I'm sick of words.
- Those are your weapons.
954
00:52:02,050 --> 00:52:03,190
How else do you conquer?
955
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,130
Yes, but when, when?
956
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,190
They're fighting in the north, now.
You know that.
957
00:52:06,230 --> 00:52:07,690
The Regiment will be
called up any day,
958
00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:08,840
and I've never
even kissed her.
959
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,940
Patience, my boy, patience.
960
00:52:11,980 --> 00:52:13,110
I've been patient.
961
00:52:13,140 --> 00:52:16,280
Why, she sees the Compte de Guiche
as often as she does me.
962
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,120
Do you suppose
she's playing with me?
963
00:52:21,260 --> 00:52:22,500
Making a fool of me?
964
00:52:23,850 --> 00:52:24,880
Impossible.
965
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,210
How can you say?
How do you know?
966
00:52:27,210 --> 00:52:31,390
Cyrano, you have her confidence.
You could find out.
967
00:52:39,300 --> 00:52:40,690
Nonsense, I say.
968
00:52:42,260 --> 00:52:43,440
Oh, very well.
969
00:52:43,870 --> 00:52:45,190
I'll scout the terrain.
970
00:52:45,230 --> 00:52:47,200
Listen, Cyrano,
intelligently, discreetly.
971
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:48,160
Yes.
972
00:52:48,190 --> 00:52:49,340
With finesse.
973
00:52:52,010 --> 00:52:55,510
And, uh, what do you think
of Christian after all these weeks?
974
00:52:55,620 --> 00:52:58,030
He is beautiful,
but he's brilliant.
975
00:52:58,070 --> 00:52:59,760
- And I love him.
- Good!
976
00:52:59,870 --> 00:53:01,750
Uh, do you find him intellectual?
977
00:53:01,790 --> 00:53:03,600
- More so than you, even.
- Huh?
978
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,470
- Oh, I didn't mean.
- No, no, no, I am glad.
979
00:53:06,500 --> 00:53:09,290
No man ever so beautifully
said those things.
980
00:53:09,330 --> 00:53:11,900
Those pretty nothings
to everything.
981
00:53:12,310 --> 00:53:15,780
Sometimes, he,. he, he falls
into a reverie.
982
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,110
His inspiration..fails.
983
00:53:20,050 --> 00:53:23,940
But, then all at once,
he will say something absolutely...
984
00:53:23,980 --> 00:53:25,370
Ah!
985
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:26,760
Really?
986
00:53:27,470 --> 00:53:28,910
How like a man!
987
00:53:28,940 --> 00:53:32,220
You think because a man
has a handsome face he must be a fool.
988
00:53:33,330 --> 00:53:34,790
Not necessarily.
989
00:53:34,830 --> 00:53:38,410
Uh, he talks well about, uh,
matters of the heart?
990
00:53:38,450 --> 00:53:42,420
He does not talk.
He rhapsodizes. He dreams.
991
00:53:42,460 --> 00:53:46,360
Only the other night he said to me,
extemporaneously, mind you.
992
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:47,220
Oh, of course.
993
00:53:47,980 --> 00:53:50,660
'Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
994
00:53:50,700 --> 00:53:54,760
'Plucking the flowers
we will keep the plants in bloom.'
995
00:53:55,720 --> 00:53:56,730
Well?
996
00:53:56,770 --> 00:53:58,530
Umm, passable.
997
00:53:58,950 --> 00:54:00,010
He writes well?
998
00:54:00,050 --> 00:54:02,080
Wonderfully, listen:
999
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,510
'Knowing you have in store
more heart to give
1000
00:54:05,550 --> 00:54:08,160
- 'than I to find heart room...'
- The first he has too much heart,
1001
00:54:08,190 --> 00:54:10,400
then too little. Just how much heart
does he need?
1002
00:54:10,470 --> 00:54:11,740
You are teasing.
1003
00:54:11,870 --> 00:54:12,870
You are jealous!
1004
00:54:12,910 --> 00:54:13,690
Jealous?
1005
00:54:13,730 --> 00:54:14,440
Yes.
1006
00:54:14,470 --> 00:54:15,840
Poets are all alike.
1007
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:19,660
Would you dare
criticize these lines?
1008
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:25,100
'Only believe that unto you
my whole heart gives one cry.
1009
00:54:25,540 --> 00:54:29,470
'And writing, writes down
more than you receive.
1010
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,010
'Sending you kisses
through my fingertips.
1011
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,020
'Lady, oh, read my letter
with your lips.'
1012
00:54:39,340 --> 00:54:43,820
Yes, those last lines,
but he overwrites.
1013
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:44,970
Listen to this.
1014
00:54:45,010 --> 00:54:46,000
Do you know
them all by heart?
1015
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,070
Every one.
1016
00:54:47,110 --> 00:54:48,500
Well, I may call
that flattering.
1017
00:54:48,530 --> 00:54:49,310
He is a master.
1018
00:54:49,350 --> 00:54:51,850
- Oh, come..
- Yes, a master.
1019
00:54:51,860 --> 00:54:55,270
Huh, a master,...
if you will.
1020
00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:00,520
And, uh, when do you
bestow the laurel wreath?
1021
00:55:00,540 --> 00:55:05,290
How many prodigies of poetry
must this new Hercules perform?
1022
00:55:05,390 --> 00:55:06,490
I do not know.
1023
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:11,580
My friend, you men own the world
and all that's in it.
1024
00:55:12,020 --> 00:55:17,990
Woman is at best a prize, a property
valued much the same as a horse or a dog,
1025
00:55:18,150 --> 00:55:22,010
unlike the pear and sheen of skin
and soundness of teeth and limb.
1026
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:27,870
Well, if I must be chattel,
then the terms shall be mine,
1027
00:55:27,910 --> 00:55:31,480
and the price according
to my own values.
1028
00:55:31,510 --> 00:55:32,670
There.
1029
00:55:34,070 --> 00:55:35,460
I see.
1030
00:55:37,060 --> 00:55:39,880
Christian tells me
that you meet tonight.
1031
00:55:42,510 --> 00:55:45,210
What would you have him
speak about?
1032
00:55:46,230 --> 00:55:47,910
Oh, nothing,
1033
00:55:48,260 --> 00:55:49,530
and everything.
1034
00:55:49,980 --> 00:55:54,140
I shall say, speak to me
of love in your own words.
1035
00:55:54,550 --> 00:55:56,810
Improvise, rhapsodize.
1036
00:55:57,540 --> 00:55:58,790
Be eloquent.
1037
00:55:59,910 --> 00:56:01,540
But you will not tell him,
will you?
1038
00:56:01,570 --> 00:56:03,270
Ah, perish the thought.
1039
00:56:03,590 --> 00:56:06,370
Madame, Compte de Guiche.
1040
00:56:10,720 --> 00:56:12,820
(Sigh)
Madame.
1041
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:16,880
Monsieur.
1042
00:56:17,770 --> 00:56:18,770
Madame.
1043
00:56:21,570 --> 00:56:24,270
Monsieur.
(Crunch)
1044
00:56:33,430 --> 00:56:35,090
- Christian, quick.
- No.
1045
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,030
There's still time to learn your lines.
No.
1046
00:56:37,070 --> 00:56:39,760
I have some brilliant phrases for you,
brilliant, sensitive...
1047
00:56:39,790 --> 00:56:40,500
No.
1048
00:56:41,150 --> 00:56:42,160
I'll have not more of it.
1049
00:56:42,190 --> 00:56:44,250
Taking all my words, my sentences
all from you,
1050
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,490
- making our love a little comedy.
- Don't you real...
1051
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,480
It was a game at first,
but now she cares.
1052
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:49,390
Huh?
1053
00:56:49,430 --> 00:56:50,750
Thanks to you.
Uh.
1054
00:56:50,790 --> 00:56:53,060
I'm not afraid any longer.
I'll speak for myself, now.
1055
00:56:53,090 --> 00:56:53,720
Oh, undoubtedly.
1056
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,990
I will. You shall see!
1057
00:56:56,500 --> 00:56:59,110
Besides, I know enough
to take a woman in my arms,
1058
00:56:59,150 --> 00:57:00,870
and tonight, I will.
1059
00:57:04,070 --> 00:57:05,420
(knocking on door)
- Christian!
1060
00:57:05,450 --> 00:57:07,210
Thank you, my friend,
and goodbye.
1061
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:09,040
- Christian, I beg of you.
- Leave me!
1062
00:57:09,070 --> 00:57:10,830
- You're making a grave error.
- Go away!
1063
00:57:13,540 --> 00:57:14,540
So be it.
1064
00:57:16,950 --> 00:57:18,600
(door opens)
1065
00:57:20,300 --> 00:57:21,440
Christian.
1066
00:57:21,470 --> 00:57:22,580
Roxane.
1067
00:57:23,190 --> 00:57:25,330
I'm so glad you are early.
1068
00:57:26,430 --> 00:57:28,400
Let us stay out here
in the moonlight.
1069
00:57:29,150 --> 00:57:30,490
It's so pleasant.
1070
00:57:32,780 --> 00:57:33,630
Sit down.
1071
00:57:36,450 --> 00:57:37,720
There, so.
1072
00:57:40,770 --> 00:57:43,780
Now, speak to me.
1073
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:45,470
I love you.
1074
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,330
Yes, speak to me of love.
1075
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,390
I...love you.
1076
00:57:53,430 --> 00:57:55,640
Now, be eloquent.
Be brilliant for me.
1077
00:57:56,300 --> 00:57:57,940
Tonight of all nights.
1078
00:57:58,250 --> 00:58:01,560
I love you....so.
1079
00:58:03,610 --> 00:58:07,630
You have your scene.
Now, improvise, rhapsodize.
1080
00:58:07,660 --> 00:58:11,570
I love you...
very much!
1081
00:58:14,500 --> 00:58:17,600
I ask for cream,
and you give me milk and water.
1082
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:22,490
Tell me firstly,
how you love me.
1083
00:58:22,530 --> 00:58:23,780
Very much!
1084
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:26,440
Is that all you feel?
1085
00:58:26,470 --> 00:58:29,360
Your throat, if only
I might kiss it.
1086
00:58:29,390 --> 00:58:30,170
Christian!
1087
00:58:30,210 --> 00:58:31,520
But, Roxane, I love you.
1088
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:32,860
Again.
1089
00:58:32,890 --> 00:58:34,450
No, not again.
I do not love you.
1090
00:58:37,490 --> 00:58:38,540
That is better.
1091
00:58:39,380 --> 00:58:42,870
I...I adore you!
1092
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:43,870
Oh!
1093
00:58:44,570 --> 00:58:46,070
I know I grow absurd.
1094
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:48,870
And that distresses me as much
as if you had grown ugly!
1095
00:58:51,020 --> 00:58:54,910
Please. Gather your dreams
together into words.
1096
00:58:54,950 --> 00:58:57,830
I...um, I...
1097
00:58:57,870 --> 00:59:00,280
I know. You love me!
Good night!
1098
00:59:00,310 --> 00:59:01,440
Oh, but wait, please!
1099
00:59:01,470 --> 00:59:02,530
I was going to say...
1100
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:04,510
That you adore me.
Yes, I know that, too.
1101
00:59:04,540 --> 00:59:06,720
-No, go away.
- I....
1102
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,290
(door slams shut)
1103
00:59:25,170 --> 00:59:28,330
(Cyrano claps his hands)
1104
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:29,870
A great success.
1105
00:59:30,940 --> 00:59:31,720
Help me.
1106
00:59:31,750 --> 00:59:33,620
Not I.
Speak for yourself, my friend.
1107
00:59:33,660 --> 00:59:35,220
Why I...I can't.
1108
00:59:35,250 --> 00:59:38,040
Well, at least you know enough
to take a woman in your arms.
1109
00:59:38,070 --> 00:59:39,680
Oh, Cyrano, please!
1110
00:59:39,790 --> 00:59:41,610
What, and make your love
a little comedy.
1111
00:59:41,650 --> 00:59:44,060
Cyrano, I cannot live
unless I win her back, now.
1112
00:59:44,100 --> 00:59:44,610
This moment!
1113
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,890
This moment. How the devil
am I to teach you now, this mo...
1114
00:59:47,980 --> 00:59:48,940
(Christian)
Her window.
1115
00:59:49,510 --> 00:59:51,690
- Help me, Cyrano, help me.
- Shhhh.
1116
00:59:53,290 --> 00:59:54,800
(Cyrano)
It does seem fairly dark.
1117
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:55,780
(Christian)
Well? Well?
1118
00:59:57,490 --> 00:59:59,190
(Cyrano)
It is more than
you deserve.
1119
01:00:00,550 --> 01:00:02,010
(Cyrano)
I must try out what
can be done.
1120
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:03,040
(Cyrano)
Stand over there.
1121
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,500
(Cyrano)
Idiot, here, before the balcony.
I'll whisper you what to say.
1122
01:00:09,540 --> 01:00:11,380
- She'll hear..
- Shhhh. Call her.
1123
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:13,690
(Christian)
Roxane.
1124
01:00:14,950 --> 01:00:17,330
(Christian louder)
Roxane.
1125
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,220
(balcony window opens)
1126
01:00:21,690 --> 01:00:22,760
Who's calling?
1127
01:00:23,430 --> 01:00:24,240
Christian.
1128
01:00:24,570 --> 01:00:25,670
You again.
1129
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:27,420
I...had to tell you.
1130
01:00:27,710 --> 01:00:29,340
No. Go away.
You tell me nothing.
1131
01:00:29,370 --> 01:00:30,390
Please.
1132
01:00:30,430 --> 01:00:32,240
You do not
love me anymore.
1133
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:34,810
(Christian copies Cyrano)
No, not anymore.
1134
01:00:35,530 --> 01:00:37,340
I love you evermore,
1135
01:00:38,150 --> 01:00:40,050
and evermore and more.
1136
01:00:41,190 --> 01:00:42,640
Oh, a little better.
1137
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,160
Love grows and struggles
like an angry child.
1138
01:00:48,710 --> 01:00:50,620
Breaking my heart.
1139
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,070
His cradle...
1140
01:00:53,110 --> 01:00:54,630
Better still.
1141
01:00:55,230 --> 01:00:57,390
But such a babe is dangerous.
1142
01:00:57,910 --> 01:01:00,140
Why not have
smothered it newborn?
1143
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:03,290
And so I do.
1144
01:01:03,650 --> 01:01:05,290
And yet he lives.
1145
01:01:06,340 --> 01:01:08,910
I found as you sha...
you shall find
1146
01:01:10,250 --> 01:01:14,400
this newborn babe...
and infant Hercules!
1147
01:01:14,900 --> 01:01:15,430
Good.
1148
01:01:15,460 --> 01:01:16,820
Strong enough at birth
1149
01:01:17,740 --> 01:01:19,600
to strangle
those two serpents
1150
01:01:20,010 --> 01:01:20,550
doubt and
1151
01:01:20,590 --> 01:01:21,090
<i>What?</i>
1152
01:01:21,250 --> 01:01:22,600
pride!
1153
01:01:23,410 --> 01:01:24,440
Why, very good.
1154
01:01:25,330 --> 01:01:27,880
Only, tell me why
you speak so haltingly.
1155
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,580
Has your imagination
gone....lame?
1156
01:01:33,260 --> 01:01:35,130
(Cyrano)
This grows too difficult.
1157
01:01:35,530 --> 01:01:38,320
Your words tonight
hesitate, why?
1158
01:01:38,630 --> 01:01:42,970
Through the warm summer gloom,
they grope in darkness
1159
01:01:43,170 --> 01:01:44,690
toward the light of you.
1160
01:01:46,010 --> 01:01:47,860
My words are
heavy with honey,
1161
01:01:47,900 --> 01:01:49,360
like returning bees.
1162
01:01:50,190 --> 01:01:52,310
Yet they must fly so high.
1163
01:01:52,530 --> 01:01:54,140
Come nearer then.
Stand you on the bench.
1164
01:01:54,170 --> 01:01:55,000
No.
1165
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:56,190
Then I'll come down.
1166
01:01:56,230 --> 01:01:57,110
NO!
1167
01:01:57,570 --> 01:01:59,380
And why so great a no?
1168
01:02:00,490 --> 01:02:02,920
Let me enjoy the one
moment I ever...
1169
01:02:03,710 --> 01:02:07,110
My one chance
to speak to you...unseen.
1170
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:08,290
Unseen?
1171
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:09,740
Yes. Yes.
1172
01:02:10,070 --> 01:02:12,380
Night making all things
dimly beautiful
1173
01:02:12,410 --> 01:02:13,770
one veil over us both.
1174
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,040
You need no eyes
to hear my heart.
1175
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:20,410
Oh, tonight, let it seem as if
I speak for the first time.
1176
01:02:21,150 --> 01:02:22,110
For the first time?
1177
01:02:22,140 --> 01:02:23,000
Yes.
1178
01:02:23,940 --> 01:02:25,780
Your voice, even,
is not the same.
1179
01:02:25,810 --> 01:02:26,990
How should it be.
1180
01:02:27,030 --> 01:02:28,450
I have another
voice tonight.
1181
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:31,250
My own, myself,... daring!
1182
01:02:31,610 --> 01:02:32,610
Why daring?
1183
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,600
Because, what am I, what is any man
would he dare ask for you?
1184
01:02:36,630 --> 01:02:40,780
Therefore my heart has hidden behind
poetic words and tinsel phrases.
1185
01:02:41,260 --> 01:02:43,640
But are they not sweet,
those pretty phrases?
1186
01:02:43,670 --> 01:02:45,630
Not enough sweet
for you and me tonight.
1187
01:02:47,530 --> 01:02:49,240
You never spoke
to me like this.
1188
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,510
I tell you, there comes
one moment, once,
1189
01:02:51,540 --> 01:02:53,800
and heaven help those
who pass that moment by,
1190
01:02:53,830 --> 01:02:56,110
when beauty stands
looking into the soul
1191
01:02:56,150 --> 01:03:01,810
with grave, sweet eyes,
that sicken at pretty words.
1192
01:03:02,650 --> 01:03:06,260
Yes...that is love.
1193
01:03:06,290 --> 01:03:07,010
Love.
1194
01:03:07,050 --> 01:03:09,260
A love beyond breath,
beyond reason,
1195
01:03:09,290 --> 01:03:11,590
beyond love's own
power of loving.
1196
01:03:11,630 --> 01:03:14,200
Your name is like a golden bell
hung in my heart,
1197
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:18,450
and when I think of you I tremble,
and the bell swings and rings,
1198
01:03:18,610 --> 01:03:28,580
Roxane! Roxane!
Along my veins...Roxane.
1199
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,970
Yes...that is love.
1200
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,770
(Cyrano)
Yes...that is love.
1201
01:03:36,090 --> 01:03:38,920
That wind of terrible
and jealous beauty,
1202
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:44,200
that dark fire,
that soaring, blinding music.
1203
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,690
Yet, you may take my happiness
to make you happier
1204
01:03:47,730 --> 01:03:49,410
even though you
never know I gave it to you.
1205
01:03:49,940 --> 01:03:55,700
Only let me hear, sometimes, all alone,
the distant laughter of your joy.
1206
01:03:56,740 --> 01:03:58,470
Do you begin
to understand a little?
1207
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,200
Can you feel my soul there
in the darkness breathe on you?
1208
01:04:03,230 --> 01:04:06,630
Oh, only tonight,
now I dare say these things.
1209
01:04:06,790 --> 01:04:09,400
I to you, and you hear them.
1210
01:04:10,030 --> 01:04:12,650
It is my voice, mine, my own
that makes you tremble
1211
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,390
there in the green gloom,
above me, for you do tremble
1212
01:04:15,430 --> 01:04:18,110
as a blossom among the leaves,
you tremble, and I can feel
1213
01:04:18,140 --> 01:04:19,670
all the way down along
this jasmine branch
1214
01:04:19,710 --> 01:04:23,700
whether you will unhold
the passion of you trembling.
1215
01:04:24,340 --> 01:04:25,960
Yes, I do tremble.
1216
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,880
And I weep, and I love you,
and I am yours,
1217
01:04:29,910 --> 01:04:31,720
and you have made me thus.
1218
01:04:36,710 --> 01:04:38,250
I have done this to you.
1219
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,380
I myself.
1220
01:04:44,970 --> 01:04:47,240
Only let me ask
one thing more.
1221
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:48,900
I want a kiss!
1222
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:52,080
You ask me for...
1223
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:53,060
I...yes.
1224
01:04:53,100 --> 01:04:54,260
That is to say...
1225
01:04:54,780 --> 01:04:55,770
I mean...
1226
01:04:56,140 --> 01:04:57,450
You've gone too far.
1227
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,370
If she's willing, why
not make the most of it?
1228
01:04:59,410 --> 01:05:04,270
I, I ask.
I know I ask too much.
1229
01:05:05,150 --> 01:05:06,420
Only one?
1230
01:05:07,550 --> 01:05:08,630
Is that all?
1231
01:05:09,150 --> 01:05:12,210
All?
How much more than all?
1232
01:05:12,250 --> 01:05:16,030
I know I startle you,
I...I ask, I ask you to refuse.
1233
01:05:16,070 --> 01:05:17,200
Why? Why? Why?
1234
01:05:17,230 --> 01:05:18,350
Christian, be quiet.
1235
01:05:18,390 --> 01:05:19,430
What is that your say?
1236
01:05:19,470 --> 01:05:21,810
I am angry with myself,
because I know I go too far
1237
01:05:21,850 --> 01:05:26,270
and so I say to myself,
CHRISTIAN, BE QUIET!
1238
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:28,300
Watch it, someone comes.
1239
01:05:36,390 --> 01:05:39,180
Well, sir, I am looking
for the house of madame Roxane Robin.
1240
01:05:39,220 --> 01:05:43,450
This is not the house. That way.
To the right. Keep to the right.
1241
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:44,330
I thank you sir.
1242
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,880
I shall say my beads for you
to the very last bead.
1243
01:05:49,340 --> 01:05:50,680
Win me that kiss?
1244
01:05:51,370 --> 01:05:52,070
No!
1245
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:53,780
Sooner or later.
1246
01:05:59,170 --> 01:06:00,510
So that is true.
1247
01:06:01,460 --> 01:06:07,540
Sooner or later must be so, because,
she is young, and you are handsome.
1248
01:06:09,170 --> 01:06:15,240
Since it must be, I'd rather be
myself the cause, if it must be.
1249
01:06:16,990 --> 01:06:19,620
(balcony window opens)
1250
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:24,660
Are you still there?
1251
01:06:24,690 --> 01:06:25,470
(Cyrano)
Yes.
1252
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:28,740
We were speaking of...
1253
01:06:30,090 --> 01:06:32,450
A kiss.
- A kiss.
1254
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,340
And what is a kiss
when all is done?
1255
01:06:34,930 --> 01:06:37,080
A vow taken before
the shrine of memory.
1256
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,650
A rosy dot
over the "i" of loving.
1257
01:06:39,790 --> 01:06:42,950
- A secret whisper
to listen if the past.
1258
01:06:42,980 --> 01:06:43,650
Shhh.
1259
01:06:43,690 --> 01:06:46,720
A moment free to mortal
with a rush of wing from Ceden.
1260
01:06:46,750 --> 01:06:48,220
A sacrament of blossoms.
1261
01:06:48,260 --> 01:06:53,250
A new song sung by two hearts
to an old, simple tune.
1262
01:06:53,290 --> 01:06:54,430
Hush.
1263
01:06:54,460 --> 01:06:56,050
Why? What shame?
1264
01:06:58,010 --> 01:07:01,310
No.
No shame.
1265
01:07:01,610 --> 01:07:02,770
Then come.
1266
01:07:03,550 --> 01:07:05,680
Gather your sacred blossoms.
1267
01:07:07,250 --> 01:07:09,230
Your moment made immortal.
1268
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:09,860
Climb!
1269
01:07:10,660 --> 01:07:12,300
- But, climb?
- Many more!
1270
01:07:22,410 --> 01:07:23,760
Roxane.
1271
01:07:33,870 --> 01:07:34,690
(sigh)
1272
01:07:36,090 --> 01:07:39,770
Ah, Roxane.
I have won what I have wanted.
1273
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:45,410
A feast of love,
and I am faint with hunger.
1274
01:07:48,110 --> 01:07:51,040
Yet, I have something here
that is mine now,...
1275
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,380
and was not mine before.
1276
01:07:54,220 --> 01:07:56,790
I spoke the words
that won her.
1277
01:07:57,890 --> 01:08:05,890
She kisses my words.
My words...upon his lips.
1278
01:08:07,230 --> 01:08:08,650
(gate opens)
1279
01:08:13,250 --> 01:08:14,670
What, dear Father,
lost your way again?
1280
01:08:14,710 --> 01:08:16,270
But, she lives here,
Madame Robin.
1281
01:08:16,300 --> 01:08:17,830
Oh, I thought
you said, Rolen?
1282
01:08:17,860 --> 01:08:19,850
No, r..o..b..i..n, Robin.
1283
01:08:19,890 --> 01:08:21,030
Oh, Robin, I see.
1284
01:08:21,070 --> 01:08:23,090
I'm too old
to chase wild geese
1285
01:08:23,130 --> 01:08:25,080
- my feet...
- Oh, what a shame,
1286
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,920
(knocking on door)
however, I'm sure there's someone at home.
1287
01:08:29,330 --> 01:08:30,120
(door opens)
1288
01:08:30,150 --> 01:08:30,860
What is it?
1289
01:08:30,890 --> 01:08:34,570
Yeah, I'm looking for
the young lady, Madam Rolen
1290
01:08:34,610 --> 01:08:35,840
Rolen?
1291
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:37,080
Robin!
1292
01:08:37,950 --> 01:08:40,050
Madame!
A letter for you.
1293
01:08:40,590 --> 01:08:42,070
Yes, yes, I heard.
1294
01:08:42,970 --> 01:08:43,650
Cyrano.
1295
01:08:43,690 --> 01:08:46,080
Uh, passing by cousin,
I saw this light.
1296
01:08:46,700 --> 01:08:50,330
Uh, some matter
profitable to the soul.
1297
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:52,550
A very noble lord gave it to me.
1298
01:08:52,750 --> 01:08:53,640
(Christian)
What is it?
1299
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,100
<i>My regiment has been
ordered to the front. </i>
1300
01:08:57,130 --> 01:08:59,490
<i>I cannot allow you
to delay any longer.</i>
1301
01:08:59,530 --> 01:09:01,820
<i>This simple old monk,
who knows nothing,</i>
1302
01:09:01,850 --> 01:09:04,190
<i>will marry us tonight.
My love, Antoine de Guiche.</i>
1303
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,110
(Roxane changes everything)
1304
01:09:07,150 --> 01:09:08,880
Father, this letter
concerns you.
1305
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,930
"Madame, the Cardinal
will have his way,
1306
01:09:13,970 --> 01:09:15,530
"although against your will.
1307
01:09:15,710 --> 01:09:18,150
"That is why I am
sending this to you,
1308
01:09:18,180 --> 01:09:20,470
"by a most holy man.
1309
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,160
"Intelligent, discreet.
1310
01:09:23,580 --> 01:09:26,660
"You will communicate
to him our order to perform
1311
01:09:26,900 --> 01:09:31,160
"here and at once
the rite of holy matrimony.
1312
01:09:32,570 --> 01:09:35,910
"You and Christian will be
married privately in your house.
1313
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,760
"Be resigned to the
Cardinal's command,
1314
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:41,930
"who sends herewith
his blessings.
1315
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,060
"Your very humble,
and etcetera..."
1316
01:09:44,940 --> 01:09:46,750
Oh, this is terrible.
1317
01:09:48,220 --> 01:09:49,850
Oh, you're to be
the, uh...
1318
01:09:49,890 --> 01:09:51,490
I am to be the bridegroom.
1319
01:09:53,950 --> 01:09:56,230
Uh, look here.
A postscript.
1320
01:09:56,780 --> 01:10:02,320
"Give to the monastery,
in my name 120 pieces of gold."
1321
01:10:02,350 --> 01:10:04,070
One hundred and twenty...
1322
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,530
Oh, a worthy lord.
A very worthy lord.
1323
01:10:09,470 --> 01:10:12,030
Daughter, resign yourself.
1324
01:10:12,070 --> 01:10:14,080
I am resigned.
1325
01:10:22,350 --> 01:10:24,500
The Guiche is coming, too.
Don't let him enter.
1326
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:25,730
Not let him enter?
1327
01:10:25,770 --> 01:10:27,790
Until we're married, please.
1328
01:10:28,610 --> 01:10:30,340
(door slams shut)
1329
01:10:44,330 --> 01:10:45,250
(Count)
What is that?
1330
01:10:45,340 --> 01:10:46,330
(Cyrano)
Me?
1331
01:10:46,370 --> 01:10:48,360
- Why, where did you come from?
- The moon.
1332
01:10:48,390 --> 01:10:49,330
- You...
- From the moon.
1333
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:50,690
I have just returned
from the moon.
1334
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:52,420
- The fellow's mad!
-Like a bomb, I tell you,
1335
01:10:52,460 --> 01:10:54,130
- I fell from the moon!
- Your feet must...
1336
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:55,450
- I say THE MOON!
1337
01:10:55,480 --> 01:10:57,580
- Very well, if you say so.
- Thank you.
1338
01:10:57,610 --> 01:10:58,610
- Raving mad.
1339
01:11:00,660 --> 01:11:02,850
- Where am I?
- My dear sir!
1340
01:11:02,890 --> 01:11:04,080
- What place is this?
What country?
1341
01:11:04,110 --> 01:11:06,170
- Please, let me pass.
- This face, good heavens!
1342
01:11:06,210 --> 01:11:08,710
Maul, a robber.
Where am I?
1343
01:11:08,750 --> 01:11:12,830
- A lady is waiting for me.
- Oh, this is Paris, huh?
1344
01:11:12,870 --> 01:11:13,620
You fool!
1345
01:11:13,650 --> 01:11:14,800
Dear old Paris.
1346
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,750
Excuse my appearance.
I arrived by the last thunderbolt.
1347
01:11:17,790 --> 01:11:19,970
A trifled singed
as I passed through the ether.
1348
01:11:20,470 --> 01:11:21,320
Monsieur!
1349
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:22,080
Sir?
1350
01:11:22,130 --> 01:11:23,750
That will do, now. I wish...
1351
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,600
I know, you wish to look for
my own list of nature for moons
1352
01:11:25,630 --> 01:11:27,820
and happiness and character
of it's surface, if any.
1353
01:11:27,850 --> 01:11:29,060
I desire no such thing, I...
1354
01:11:29,100 --> 01:11:30,060
Of course not.
1355
01:11:32,940 --> 01:11:34,330
You wish to know
by what mysterious
1356
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:35,570
means I reached the moon.
1357
01:11:35,610 --> 01:11:37,870
Well, a very secret affair of state,
1358
01:11:37,900 --> 01:11:41,770
but confidentially
a new invention of my own.
1359
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:43,190
Drunk, two ways.
Well a man..
1360
01:11:43,230 --> 01:11:46,050
Oh, no. In truth I have
my choice of several inventions.
1361
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:46,600
Uh?
1362
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:50,850
Yes, several ways
to violate the virgin sky.
1363
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:52,210
Several?
1364
01:11:52,250 --> 01:11:53,510
Several.
1365
01:11:53,540 --> 01:11:57,520
As, for instance, smoke
having a natural tendency to rise,
1366
01:11:57,550 --> 01:12:02,050
blow in a globe
enough to raise me.
1367
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:03,300
Yes, that makes one.
1368
01:12:03,330 --> 01:12:06,780
Again, I might construct a rocket
in the shape of a HUGE locust
1369
01:12:06,820 --> 01:12:10,810
driven by impulses up within
a saltpeter from the rear
1370
01:12:10,850 --> 01:12:14,050
and thus speed upwards,
like, thus!
1371
01:12:14,260 --> 01:12:15,260
Yes, another?
1372
01:12:15,290 --> 01:12:18,950
Finally, seated on an iron plate,
hurl a magnet into the air.
1373
01:12:18,980 --> 01:12:21,810
The iron follows.
I catch the magnet.
1374
01:12:21,850 --> 01:12:25,330
Throw it again, and
so proceed indefinitely.
1375
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,460
Excellent, and
which did you adopt?
1376
01:12:31,450 --> 01:12:32,370
Why none of them.
1377
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:34,350
Yet another.
1378
01:12:34,390 --> 01:12:35,740
Which was...?
1379
01:12:46,810 --> 01:12:47,500
Guess.
1380
01:12:47,860 --> 01:12:49,370
Ahhh, I can't!
1381
01:12:50,090 --> 01:12:51,100
Try.
1382
01:12:52,340 --> 01:12:53,980
Interesting idiot, this.
1383
01:13:05,350 --> 01:13:06,540
Have you guessed it yet?
1384
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:07,960
Why, no, what is it?
1385
01:13:13,780 --> 01:13:15,870
Alas, you will never know,
but no matter.
1386
01:13:15,910 --> 01:13:18,470
You are free and
they are bound in wedlock.
1387
01:13:18,510 --> 01:13:21,010
I drunk that voice,
and that nose, Cyrano!
1388
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:23,710
Cyrano. This very moment
they have exchanged vows.
1389
01:13:23,750 --> 01:13:24,460
Who?
1390
01:13:29,820 --> 01:13:31,530
My sincere compliments.
1391
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,900
You, also, my traveler in space.
1392
01:13:34,940 --> 01:13:37,800
My Lord, the heads of Capathieu
and Joyce have joined together.
1393
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:38,750
Quite so!
1394
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:44,160
Madame, kindly bid
your... husband farewell.
1395
01:13:44,190 --> 01:13:46,670
Your regiment leaves tonight, sir.
Report at once!
1396
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:49,320
But, the Cadets are not called.
1397
01:13:49,350 --> 01:13:51,850
They are, indeed, and
under my command.
1398
01:13:52,710 --> 01:13:55,080
Out there we may
have an accounting.
1399
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:58,130
Somehow, that news
fails to disquiet me.
1400
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,190
Here are the orders.
Baron, deliver this.
1401
01:14:02,500 --> 01:14:03,650
Christian!
1402
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,660
The bridal night
is not so near.
1403
01:14:10,090 --> 01:14:13,400
Somehow that news
fails to disquiet me.
1404
01:14:17,710 --> 01:14:19,340
Baron, you have your orders.
1405
01:14:36,270 --> 01:14:37,530
Farewell, Roxane.
1406
01:14:38,290 --> 01:14:40,490
Take care of him, for me.
Promise me never to let him
1407
01:14:40,530 --> 01:14:41,400
do anything dangerous.
1408
01:14:41,430 --> 01:14:42,890
I will do my best.
I cannot promise.
1409
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:44,970
I thought you brave always.
Make him be careful.
1410
01:14:45,010 --> 01:14:46,070
Yes, yes, I'll try.
1411
01:14:46,110 --> 01:14:47,840
Be sure to keep him
warm and dry!
1412
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:49,150
Yes, if possible.
1413
01:14:49,190 --> 01:14:51,820
Have him write to me
every single day!
1414
01:14:51,860 --> 01:14:54,090
That, I promise you.
1415
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,970
(the war with Spain)
1416
01:15:40,820 --> 01:15:41,540
Halt!
1417
01:16:03,370 --> 01:16:03,920
Uh!
1418
01:16:13,930 --> 01:16:18,590
(Madame Baroness de Neuvillette,
Rue Marais No. 12, Paris)
1419
01:16:46,610 --> 01:16:48,170
The situation
is simple, gentlemen.
1420
01:16:48,420 --> 01:16:53,340
We have besieged Arras.
The Prince of Spain has besieged us.
1421
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,960
Consequently, we
are surrounded.
1422
01:16:56,050 --> 01:16:58,920
- A fine war. Where
the besiegers are besieged
1423
01:16:58,950 --> 01:17:00,020
and starve to death.
1424
01:17:00,060 --> 01:17:01,990
Yes, but the Marshal has
devised a brilliant plan
1425
01:17:02,030 --> 01:17:03,480
for bringing in food
this very night.
1426
01:17:03,510 --> 01:17:04,460
Now, see here.
1427
01:17:04,500 --> 01:17:06,240
Spare us the details, Colonel.
1428
01:17:06,270 --> 01:17:08,820
Merely inform us
when the food arrives.
1429
01:17:08,860 --> 01:17:11,380
True, we are hungry.
But why blame me?
1430
01:17:11,700 --> 01:17:13,320
I'm only your Colonel.
1431
01:17:14,700 --> 01:17:16,910
Oh, yes, I know
you disprove of me.
1432
01:17:17,020 --> 01:17:18,940
Call me courtier, politician.
1433
01:17:19,430 --> 01:17:22,080
Well, I can afford you little hates.
1434
01:17:22,110 --> 01:17:24,730
My conduct under fire
is well known.
1435
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,170
It was only yesterday
I repelled a Spanish attack.
1436
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,070
Pouring my men down
like an avalanche.
1437
01:17:29,250 --> 01:17:30,710
I, myself lead the charge.
1438
01:17:30,900 --> 01:17:33,330
- And your white scarf?
(through a cannon barrel)
1439
01:17:33,370 --> 01:17:34,130
Cyrano!
1440
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:39,140
And your white scarf?
1441
01:17:39,150 --> 01:17:40,480
Eh, you heard that episode?
1442
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:44,110
Yes, I was so far in advance
I was in danger of being captured.
1443
01:17:44,180 --> 01:17:46,570
But I thought quickly,
took off and flung away
1444
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,290
the scarf that marked
my military rank.
1445
01:17:48,420 --> 01:17:51,150
And so being inconspicuous
escaped among my own force,
1446
01:17:51,410 --> 01:17:54,250
rallied them, returned,
and won the day.
1447
01:17:54,290 --> 01:17:55,500
What do you say to that?
1448
01:17:55,540 --> 01:17:58,550
Still, enough that is not likely
to resign the privilege of being a target.
1449
01:17:58,580 --> 01:18:01,690
How pleasant for you
that you are denied that privilege.
1450
01:18:01,730 --> 01:18:03,650
Pleasant?
Lend me your scarf.
1451
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:05,570
With your permission I shall
lead the first charge tonight
1452
01:18:05,610 --> 01:18:06,890
wearing it over my shoulder.
1453
01:18:06,930 --> 01:18:07,720
What bluster.
1454
01:18:07,750 --> 01:18:09,630
You're safe making that offer,
and you know it.
1455
01:18:09,670 --> 01:18:12,620
My scarf lies on the
river bank between the lines.
1456
01:18:12,650 --> 01:18:15,560
A spot swept by artillery.
Impossible to reach alive.
1457
01:18:15,700 --> 01:18:16,700
Yes.
1458
01:18:16,730 --> 01:18:20,500
(displays the Colonel's scarf)
1459
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:22,410
Here.
1460
01:18:22,580 --> 01:18:24,590
(laughter)
1461
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:26,500
Thank you.
1462
01:18:28,180 --> 01:18:31,000
This bit of white is
what I need to make a signal.
1463
01:18:31,820 --> 01:18:33,360
I was hesitating.
1464
01:18:33,940 --> 01:18:35,720
You have decided me.
1465
01:18:41,370 --> 01:18:43,010
- Stand or I'll fire!
- Hold you fire.
1466
01:18:43,050 --> 01:18:44,650
There's a man down
there running away.
1467
01:18:44,690 --> 01:18:46,700
Yes, a Spaniard.
1468
01:18:47,440 --> 01:18:50,310
But very useful as a spy
to both sides.
1469
01:18:51,270 --> 01:18:52,480
As I was about
to tell you.
1470
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,100
The Marshal has withdrawn
more than half our forces here.
1471
01:18:55,140 --> 01:18:57,190
Fortunately, the Spaniards
do not know that.
1472
01:18:57,230 --> 01:19:00,470
Oh, yes, they do now,
and they will attack tonight.
1473
01:19:00,510 --> 01:19:02,240
At this point.
1474
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:04,520
Your revenge, eh?
1475
01:19:04,550 --> 01:19:06,670
I make not great
pretense in loving you.
1476
01:19:06,770 --> 01:19:10,170
But since you gentlemen
esteem yourselves invincible,
1477
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,710
the bravest of the brave,
and all that.
1478
01:19:12,750 --> 01:19:14,120
Why need we be personal.
1479
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,710
The Marshal needs
a diversion, and I serve him
1480
01:19:16,740 --> 01:19:19,040
in choosing as I chose.
1481
01:19:19,210 --> 01:19:21,440
As you can see, Captain,
the great thing is to gain time.
1482
01:19:21,470 --> 01:19:23,070
To hold until the Marshal returns.
1483
01:19:23,180 --> 01:19:24,980
- And to gain time?
1484
01:19:25,490 --> 01:19:31,370
You will all be so kind
as to lay down your lives.
1485
01:19:39,610 --> 01:19:40,700
Christian?
1486
01:19:40,740 --> 01:19:41,400
Yes.
1487
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:46,130
Roxane?
1488
01:19:46,940 --> 01:19:49,260
I should like to say
farewell to her
1489
01:19:49,290 --> 01:19:51,580
with my whole
heart for her to keep.
1490
01:19:53,630 --> 01:19:55,610
I have taken the liberty of...
1491
01:19:58,580 --> 01:20:03,760
(the first letter
Christian is aware of)
1492
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:05,110
But, wait.
1493
01:20:07,270 --> 01:20:08,180
This little spot.
1494
01:20:08,620 --> 01:20:09,360
Spot?
1495
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:10,100
Yes.
1496
01:20:10,470 --> 01:20:11,550
A tear.
1497
01:20:13,500 --> 01:20:14,210
Is nothing.
1498
01:20:14,250 --> 01:20:16,860
A poet while he writes
is like a lover in his lady's arms,
1499
01:20:16,890 --> 01:20:19,060
believing his imagination,
everything seems real.
1500
01:20:19,090 --> 01:20:20,710
There's half the charm
of writing.
1501
01:20:21,230 --> 01:20:24,000
Now, I made this letter
so pathetic, that,
1502
01:20:24,030 --> 01:20:27,290
while I was writing it,
I wept.
1503
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:28,110
You wept?
1504
01:20:28,650 --> 01:20:31,590
Why, yes, because
it is a little thing to die,
1505
01:20:32,500 --> 01:20:36,710
but not to see her,...
that is terrible.
1506
01:20:37,700 --> 01:20:41,890
I shall never...,
you will never...
1507
01:20:42,480 --> 01:20:43,690
Give me that.
1508
01:20:45,190 --> 01:20:48,500
- Halt. Who goes there.
- On the service of the King.
1509
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:01,330
- The King!
- Fall in...
1510
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:11,620
Good evening.
1511
01:21:11,650 --> 01:21:13,540
On the King's service, you?
1512
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:25,850
- Gentlemen,...
- What are you doing here?
1513
01:21:25,890 --> 01:21:28,300
- We heard rumors at home
you were hungry,
1514
01:21:28,340 --> 01:21:29,810
- so we came prepared.
1515
01:21:29,850 --> 01:21:34,500
The Spaniards adored the fare,
but they missed the fowl!
1516
01:21:34,530 --> 01:21:37,560
(soldiers clamor for food)
1517
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:47,020
But why did you come here
into this, this danger?
1518
01:21:47,060 --> 01:21:49,420
They said in Paris
there was no fighting.
1519
01:21:50,450 --> 01:21:53,620
Besides, it was your own fault.
1520
01:22:01,410 --> 01:22:03,770
Think of the
letters you have written me.
1521
01:22:04,050 --> 01:22:06,510
How many times!
Every day!
1522
01:22:06,550 --> 01:22:07,680
Every day?
1523
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:08,820
Of course.
1524
01:22:08,980 --> 01:22:11,560
And each one
more wonderful than the last.
1525
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:14,820
All this, for a few absurd love letters.
1526
01:22:14,860 --> 01:22:18,050
Hush. Absurd?
Your letters...no, never.
1527
01:22:19,030 --> 01:22:22,730
Every one was like hearing your voice
that night in the dark. Remember?
1528
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:26,590
Like your arms around me.
I read them over and over.
1529
01:22:26,630 --> 01:22:30,420
Every page was like
a petal fallen from you soul.
1530
01:22:30,460 --> 01:22:33,350
Like the light
and the fire of a great love.
1531
01:22:33,390 --> 01:22:36,020
- Sweet and strong and true.
- Sweet.
1532
01:22:36,180 --> 01:22:37,280
Strong.
1533
01:22:37,590 --> 01:22:38,490
True?
1534
01:22:41,570 --> 01:22:43,090
Oh, my Christian.
1535
01:22:43,690 --> 01:22:46,420
I came here to ask forgiveness.
1536
01:22:47,660 --> 01:22:49,380
It is time to be forgiven.
1537
01:22:49,860 --> 01:22:51,950
Now, when we
may die so soon.
1538
01:22:53,780 --> 01:22:55,380
Forgive me for being
light and vain
1539
01:22:55,410 --> 01:22:57,570
and loving you only
because you were handsome.
1540
01:22:57,600 --> 01:22:59,230
- For now...
- Now?
1541
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:01,940
I love you for yourself.
1542
01:23:02,350 --> 01:23:04,090
For what you are.
1543
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:05,340
Roxane.
1544
01:23:05,910 --> 01:23:09,000
How you must have suffered.
For you saw how frivolous I was.
1545
01:23:09,030 --> 01:23:11,300
And to be loved
for the mere costume,
1546
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,090
for the poor, casual
body you went about in.
1547
01:23:14,750 --> 01:23:17,620
To a soul like yours,
that must have been torture.
1548
01:23:17,650 --> 01:23:18,390
No.
1549
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:23,140
I understand.
1550
01:23:23,790 --> 01:23:25,930
You cannot perfectly
believe in me,
1551
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:27,530
a...a love like this...
1552
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:29,090
I want no love like this.
1553
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,020
I want love only for...
1554
01:23:31,050 --> 01:23:33,090
Only for what every
woman sees in you.
1555
01:23:33,700 --> 01:23:35,030
I can to better than that.
1556
01:23:35,060 --> 01:23:37,240
No, it...it was best before.
1557
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,090
You do not
altogether know me.
1558
01:23:40,540 --> 01:23:42,260
I was a child.
1559
01:23:42,350 --> 01:23:43,650
I'm a woman now.
1560
01:23:44,250 --> 01:23:46,720
- If...if you were less handsome,
- No.
1561
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:50,130
unattractive, ugly even,
I should love you, still.
1562
01:23:50,770 --> 01:23:51,900
Do you mean that?
1563
01:23:52,510 --> 01:23:53,750
I do mean that.
1564
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:55,020
Ugly?
1565
01:23:55,100 --> 01:23:56,200
Even then.
1566
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:58,050
Now, are you happy?
1567
01:24:03,470 --> 01:24:04,650
Yes.
1568
01:24:04,690 --> 01:24:05,500
What is it?
1569
01:24:06,190 --> 01:24:08,690
Nothing, only, Cyrano...
1570
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:10,830
Cyrano.
1571
01:24:12,050 --> 01:24:14,090
he has something
to tell you.
1572
01:24:16,180 --> 01:24:17,200
Where are you going?
1573
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:20,690
I...will...return...in a moment.
1574
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:30,050
Cyrano.
1575
01:24:30,650 --> 01:24:32,480
Your wife, sir,
she goes with me?
1576
01:24:32,510 --> 01:24:33,340
No, sir, she remains.
1577
01:24:33,380 --> 01:24:34,670
There is still time
for her to escape.
1578
01:24:34,710 --> 01:24:35,640
She stays!
1579
01:24:36,030 --> 01:24:36,790
Very well.
1580
01:24:36,820 --> 01:24:38,950
Someone give me a musket.
I stay here also.
1581
01:24:39,420 --> 01:24:40,640
Sir, you show courage.
1582
01:24:40,670 --> 01:24:42,890
What, shall I run away,
and leave a woman?
1583
01:24:43,450 --> 01:24:45,320
Colonel, my compliments, sir.
1584
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:47,810
What of Roxane?
1585
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:48,470
Wait.
1586
01:24:49,350 --> 01:24:50,860
Well, what is it?
You look so...
1587
01:24:52,830 --> 01:24:54,580
She does not love me.
1588
01:24:54,990 --> 01:24:57,310
- You think not?
- She loves you.
1589
01:24:57,340 --> 01:24:59,630
- No.
- She loves only my soul.
1590
01:24:59,660 --> 01:25:00,370
- No.
- Yes!
1591
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:03,140
That means you.
And you love her.
1592
01:25:03,170 --> 01:25:05,300
- I?
- I see. I know.
1593
01:25:05,340 --> 01:25:08,310
You wrote her,
everyday, every day!
1594
01:25:08,820 --> 01:25:10,030
- Perfectly simple.
- Simple?
1595
01:25:10,060 --> 01:25:11,700
For a month,
we've been blockaded here.
1596
01:25:11,740 --> 01:25:13,340
How did you send
all those letters?
1597
01:25:13,370 --> 01:25:14,500
Before daylight
I managed...
1598
01:25:14,530 --> 01:25:16,070
To face death
everyday.
1599
01:25:16,820 --> 01:25:17,950
You love her.
1600
01:25:19,020 --> 01:25:20,190
Yes.
1601
01:25:26,950 --> 01:25:27,890
Tell her so.
1602
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:29,250
- No.
- Why not?
1603
01:25:29,350 --> 01:25:32,290
Why?
Look at me.
1604
01:25:32,590 --> 01:25:35,420
She would love me
if I were ugly.
1605
01:25:35,990 --> 01:25:38,820
- She said that?
- Yes. Now, go to her.
1606
01:25:40,090 --> 01:25:42,410
Nonsense. Do not
believe any such madness.
1607
01:25:42,440 --> 01:25:44,730
Go back to her.
You never will be ugly.
1608
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:45,810
Go!
It is you she loves.
1609
01:25:45,850 --> 01:25:46,870
That is what
we shall see.
1610
01:25:46,900 --> 01:25:47,840
No, no!
1611
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:49,480
- Let her chose between us.
- No.
1612
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:51,510
- Tell her everything.
- Why do you torture me?
1613
01:25:51,550 --> 01:25:54,700
Shall I ruin your happiness,
because I was born with a pretty face?
1614
01:25:54,740 --> 01:25:57,210
Am I to ruin yours,
because I happen to have power
1615
01:25:57,250 --> 01:25:58,750
to say what you perhaps feel?
1616
01:25:58,780 --> 01:26:00,910
- Tell her!
- Don't drive me too far!
1617
01:26:00,950 --> 01:26:03,210
- I'm tired of being my own rival.
- Hard to know.
1618
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:05,470
My secret marriage, that
can be annulled, I expect.
1619
01:26:05,500 --> 01:26:07,790
I want her love
for the poor fool than I am,
1620
01:26:07,860 --> 01:26:09,020
or not at all.
1621
01:26:09,390 --> 01:26:12,090
Oh, I'm going through with this.
I'll know one way or the other.
1622
01:26:12,870 --> 01:26:15,280
Now, go!....Tell her.
1623
01:26:15,480 --> 01:26:16,790
Let her chose one of us.
1624
01:26:17,570 --> 01:26:18,780
It will be you.
1625
01:26:19,670 --> 01:26:21,330
I hope so.
1626
01:26:33,070 --> 01:26:33,820
- Captain!
1627
01:26:36,570 --> 01:26:38,100
The Spanish fires are going out.
1628
01:26:41,030 --> 01:26:42,160
It begins.
1629
01:26:42,220 --> 01:26:44,140
I need a scout. Where's Cyrano.
1630
01:26:44,490 --> 01:26:45,280
Captain.
1631
01:26:45,850 --> 01:26:46,740
Let me go.
1632
01:26:46,780 --> 01:26:49,490
No, my boy, Cyrano knows
the terrain. He knows their lines.
1633
01:26:49,530 --> 01:26:51,550
So do I.
Please, allow me.
1634
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:56,070
Very well.
We must know from which
1635
01:26:56,110 --> 01:26:58,810
direction the advance comes.
Their weight and numbers.
1636
01:26:58,840 --> 01:26:59,560
I understand.
1637
01:27:11,940 --> 01:27:12,780
Roxane.
1638
01:27:13,430 --> 01:27:14,450
Cyrano.
1639
01:27:14,480 --> 01:27:15,930
Christian thinks...
1640
01:27:17,470 --> 01:27:19,190
Christian thinks you
ought to know that...
1641
01:27:19,220 --> 01:27:20,240
But I do know.
1642
01:27:20,770 --> 01:27:22,850
He still doubts what I
just told him, just now.
1643
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:23,860
I saw that.
1644
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:27,560
Yes, but,...was it true,
what you told him just now?
1645
01:27:27,590 --> 01:27:28,900
It was true.
1646
01:27:28,990 --> 01:27:32,270
I said that I should love him,
even if he were....
1647
01:27:33,020 --> 01:27:34,580
The word comes
hard before me?
1648
01:27:37,420 --> 01:27:38,860
Say it, I shall
not be hurt.
1649
01:27:39,370 --> 01:27:40,620
Ugly?
1650
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:42,130
Even, then
I should love him.
1651
01:27:43,500 --> 01:27:44,690
Disfigured.
1652
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:45,870
Or disfigured.
1653
01:27:46,480 --> 01:27:49,620
Even....grotesque.
1654
01:27:49,650 --> 01:27:51,350
How could he
every be grotesque,
1655
01:27:51,810 --> 01:27:52,950
ever to me?
1656
01:27:52,990 --> 01:27:55,580
But, you could love him so,
as much as?
1657
01:27:55,610 --> 01:27:56,790
Yes, and more.
1658
01:27:57,320 --> 01:27:58,320
Roxane...
1659
01:27:58,350 --> 01:27:59,300
(gunshot)
1660
01:27:59,340 --> 01:28:00,260
What is it?
1661
01:28:01,550 --> 01:28:02,600
Are they fighting?
1662
01:28:05,250 --> 01:28:06,510
What is happening?
1663
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:08,010
- The Spaniards advance,
1664
01:28:08,940 --> 01:28:09,930
but there is time.
1665
01:28:10,480 --> 01:28:12,370
- Where is Christian?
- At the parapet.
1666
01:28:12,820 --> 01:28:13,890
Oh, of course.
1667
01:28:14,930 --> 01:28:16,750
What is it
that you wish to tell me?
1668
01:28:16,780 --> 01:28:18,140
Roxane,...
1669
01:28:18,810 --> 01:28:21,690
believe me this is difficult,
and for once I lack words.
1670
01:28:24,690 --> 01:28:26,330
Christian asked me to...
1671
01:28:26,440 --> 01:28:27,850
He told me...
1672
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:38,220
Christian!
1673
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:42,970
To your places, gentlemen.
1674
01:28:43,970 --> 01:28:45,130
Is he dead?
1675
01:28:45,170 --> 01:28:46,260
No, but dying.
1676
01:28:46,300 --> 01:28:47,660
I will not let him!
1677
01:28:51,870 --> 01:28:54,530
Cyrano...did you?
1678
01:28:54,570 --> 01:28:56,610
Yes, my friend.
I have told her.
1679
01:28:58,350 --> 01:28:59,450
She loves you.
1680
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:02,190
Roxane.
1681
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:03,570
Yes, my darling.
1682
01:29:06,020 --> 01:29:07,320
Christian!
1683
01:29:08,170 --> 01:29:09,370
He is not dead?
1684
01:29:10,930 --> 01:29:11,830
Yes.
1685
01:29:12,310 --> 01:29:13,640
(gasp)
1686
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:22,890
Time you must go, now.
1687
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:25,860
Really, he is dead.
1688
01:29:25,890 --> 01:29:27,740
No one else
knew him but you.
1689
01:29:28,250 --> 01:29:29,630
Was he not a hero?
1690
01:29:29,670 --> 01:29:30,700
Yes, Roxane.
1691
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:33,340
A heart deeper
than we knew.
1692
01:29:33,380 --> 01:29:34,930
Yes, Roxane.
1693
01:29:35,010 --> 01:29:39,310
A poet.
A soul magnificently tender.
1694
01:29:41,750 --> 01:29:43,660
Yes, Roxane.
1695
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:46,740
But he is dead now.
1696
01:29:48,390 --> 01:29:50,030
(collapses sobbing)
1697
01:29:50,070 --> 01:29:51,230
Why, so am I.
1698
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:55,060
For I am dead
and my love mourns for me
1699
01:29:55,100 --> 01:29:56,550
and does not know.
1700
01:29:58,190 --> 01:29:59,530
Will never know.
1701
01:29:59,570 --> 01:30:00,990
(rapid gunfire)
1702
01:30:01,030 --> 01:30:02,410
(bugle calls)
1703
01:30:03,030 --> 01:30:04,030
Take her away quickly.
1704
01:30:05,670 --> 01:30:06,500
Wait.
1705
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:09,220
A letter over his heart.
1706
01:30:11,490 --> 01:30:12,850
(sobbing)
1707
01:30:16,740 --> 01:30:18,460
I have two deaths
to avenge, now,
1708
01:30:19,090 --> 01:30:22,670
Christian's...and my own.
1709
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:42,210
(fighting becomes intense)
1710
01:30:43,330 --> 01:30:46,820
(the Spanish army advances)
1711
01:30:49,450 --> 01:30:50,280
Fire!
1712
01:31:00,270 --> 01:31:02,810
Surrender or you die!
1713
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:51,720
(de Guiche)
Look! The signal!
1714
01:32:59,940 --> 01:33:00,940
Ah!
1715
01:33:07,070 --> 01:33:09,610
We fought. We died.
We fought again.
1716
01:33:09,750 --> 01:33:12,760
Who are these men who are
so fond of death, one Spaniard cried.
1717
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:14,440
On and on, they came.
1718
01:33:14,570 --> 01:33:17,210
Then, when all seemed lost,
we heard the trumpets
1719
01:33:17,250 --> 01:33:19,850
of our returning troops.
The battle was ours!
1720
01:33:20,690 --> 01:33:24,050
Ah, you have been fortunate,
Ms. de Bergerac, you have lived!
1721
01:33:24,090 --> 01:33:28,870
While we, we waste our youth.
There is no war and not hope for any.
1722
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:30,880
No hope for any?
1723
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:34,220
My fellow, I just realize,
we are both fools.
1724
01:33:34,630 --> 01:33:37,550
But mine is the greater folly,
for I am an older fool.
1725
01:33:38,170 --> 01:33:42,320
What is more......
Everything I told you was a lie.
1726
01:33:47,550 --> 01:33:49,680
Another satire
for the Gazette?
1727
01:33:49,710 --> 01:33:50,410
Yes.
1728
01:33:50,820 --> 01:33:53,480
Another glove flung
in the face of power?
1729
01:33:53,650 --> 01:33:55,400
Oh, why do you
do it, Cyrano?
1730
01:33:55,430 --> 01:33:57,860
- Why do you attack...
- Stupidity?
1731
01:33:57,880 --> 01:34:01,180
Deceit? Corruption?
I'm too old to change.
1732
01:34:01,370 --> 01:34:03,980
I'm an old dog
with nothing left but his teeth.
1733
01:34:04,010 --> 01:34:06,580
Ah, but teeth can be pulled.
That can be painful.
1734
01:34:10,440 --> 01:34:14,580
That insolent wretch.
That scoundrel de Bergerac.
1735
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:17,180
This time he's gone too far.
I swear it.
1736
01:34:17,210 --> 01:34:18,790
He's signed his death warrant.
1737
01:34:19,950 --> 01:34:21,730
And who will deliver it?
1738
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:25,040
His sword is still very
powerful, my friend.
1739
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:27,230
There are may ways
a man can die.
1740
01:34:27,990 --> 01:34:29,550
Who knows?
1741
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:31,430
He may meet
with an accident.
1742
01:34:32,550 --> 01:34:33,570
Soon.
1743
01:34:35,100 --> 01:34:38,710
(church chimes)
1744
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:46,060
But, uh, tell me, Madame.
1745
01:34:46,180 --> 01:34:50,830
How long will you continue
to remain here, forever in mourning?
1746
01:34:51,670 --> 01:34:52,570
Forever.
1747
01:34:53,060 --> 01:34:55,080
Was Christian all that?
1748
01:34:55,770 --> 01:34:57,400
If you knew him
you would not ask.
1749
01:34:57,950 --> 01:35:00,150
His last letter
is still in my heart.
1750
01:35:00,820 --> 01:35:04,770
And, uh, Cyrano?
Do you see him often?
1751
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:09,240
Every week. My old friend
takes the place of my Gazette.
1752
01:35:09,620 --> 01:35:11,320
He brings me all the news.
1753
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:14,940
Every Saturday under
that tree out there.
1754
01:35:14,980 --> 01:35:17,070
I wait for him embroidering.
1755
01:35:17,430 --> 01:35:20,240
The hour strikes.
I need not turn to look.
1756
01:35:20,570 --> 01:35:24,070
At the last stroke,
I hear his cane tapping the walk.
1757
01:35:24,100 --> 01:35:26,430
His satires have made
him many enemies.
1758
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:29,740
But, they still fear
that sword of his.
1759
01:35:30,330 --> 01:35:32,130
No one dare touch him.
1760
01:35:32,510 --> 01:35:33,670
Hm, that may be so.
1761
01:35:35,620 --> 01:35:38,160
It is not violence
I fear for him,
1762
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:42,560
but solitude, poverty.
Old gray Decembers
1763
01:35:42,590 --> 01:35:45,350
stealing on wolf's feet
into his darkened room.
1764
01:35:46,010 --> 01:35:48,230
It seems to me he's
worn the same old coat
1765
01:35:48,260 --> 01:35:49,610
for many months, now.
1766
01:35:49,650 --> 01:35:51,740
Eh, that is nothing
strange in this world.
1767
01:35:51,780 --> 01:35:53,820
You need not pity
him overmuch.
1768
01:35:53,860 --> 01:35:56,930
He lives his life,
his own life his own way,
1769
01:35:56,970 --> 01:36:00,300
thought, word and deed free.
1770
01:36:00,450 --> 01:36:01,610
My Lord Duke.
1771
01:36:01,750 --> 01:36:05,860
Oh, yes, I know.
I have all. He has nothing.
1772
01:36:06,370 --> 01:36:12,170
Nevertheless, today,
I should be proud to shake his hand.
1773
01:36:12,350 --> 01:36:14,000
Ah, well, adieu.
1774
01:36:14,670 --> 01:36:16,300
Will I ever see you again?
1775
01:36:16,340 --> 01:36:17,970
Come whenever you like.
1776
01:36:18,010 --> 01:36:19,610
Then, you have forgiven me.
1777
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:21,680
I am here.
1778
01:36:22,950 --> 01:36:25,380
Do you know?
When a man wins
1779
01:36:25,420 --> 01:36:29,750
everything in this world,
when he succeeds too much,
1780
01:36:29,790 --> 01:36:34,190
he feels, somehow,
a thousand small displeasures
1781
01:36:34,230 --> 01:36:38,560
with himself, whose whole sum
is not quite remorse
1782
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:45,570
but rather a sort of vague
disgust, dry illusions, pained regrets.
1783
01:36:45,870 --> 01:36:48,730
Yes, now and then,
I envy your Cyrano.
1784
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:50,860
The sentiment
does you honor.
1785
01:36:50,890 --> 01:36:52,250
(chuckling)
1786
01:36:59,350 --> 01:37:04,280
Madame, I must tell you,
it is true that no one has yet
1787
01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:06,490
dared to attack
your friend Cyrano.
1788
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:11,380
Nevertheless, at the theater
last night, I heard some things.
1789
01:37:12,260 --> 01:37:13,720
Keep him at home all you can.
1790
01:37:14,090 --> 01:37:17,330
Tomorrow when you see him,
tell him to be careful.
1791
01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:19,130
I thank you.
1792
01:37:32,050 --> 01:37:33,140
(Cyrano)
Good night, Ragueneau.
1793
01:37:33,180 --> 01:37:35,120
(Ragueneau)
Cyrano, you not leaving?
1794
01:37:35,150 --> 01:37:37,030
You will not have
dinner here with me?
1795
01:37:37,060 --> 01:37:38,860
(Cyrano)
My regrets. I have a magnificent
1796
01:37:38,900 --> 01:37:42,450
roast waiting for me, a rare wine,
a gift from my publisher.
1797
01:37:42,490 --> 01:37:43,890
(Ragueneau)
Fine, to be sure.
1798
01:37:44,650 --> 01:37:47,490
Uh, have you seen
Moliere's new play?
1799
01:37:47,530 --> 01:37:48,160
No.
1800
01:37:48,340 --> 01:37:49,650
Heh, ah, well....
1801
01:37:49,690 --> 01:37:50,580
What is it?
1802
01:37:50,610 --> 01:37:51,460
Well, he...
1803
01:37:51,500 --> 01:37:52,250
Speak.
1804
01:37:52,290 --> 01:37:55,220
He stole a scene
from you, word for word.
1805
01:37:55,250 --> 01:37:57,140
You know, "What the devil
was he doing there?"
1806
01:37:57,170 --> 01:37:57,730
That one.
1807
01:37:57,770 --> 01:37:59,040
He stole it, bodily.
1808
01:37:59,070 --> 01:38:01,300
Well, he showed
good taste.
1809
01:38:01,340 --> 01:38:03,020
It, uh, played well?
1810
01:38:03,060 --> 01:38:05,450
Oh, beautifully. They
laughed and laughed.
1811
01:38:05,480 --> 01:38:06,810
Oh, how they laughed.
1812
01:38:07,250 --> 01:38:08,560
Moliere has genius.
1813
01:38:09,370 --> 01:38:11,010
Christian had good looks.
1814
01:38:12,170 --> 01:38:13,610
With me, it was
always thus.
1815
01:38:16,050 --> 01:38:17,240
Good night, my friend.
1816
01:38:32,340 --> 01:38:32,950
(man)
Hold, there.
1817
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:33,950
(man)
You!
1818
01:38:35,650 --> 01:38:36,850
(Cyrano)
Are you addressing me?
1819
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:38,990
Yes, you, Monsieur
of the long nose.
1820
01:38:39,100 --> 01:38:40,000
Insolence.
1821
01:38:40,290 --> 01:38:41,990
- Foulmouthed scribbler.
- What?
1822
01:38:42,020 --> 01:38:43,440
- Lair, plagiarist!
- Liar.
1823
01:38:47,910 --> 01:38:49,660
(whistling to wagon)
1824
01:39:08,630 --> 01:39:10,920
(driver whips horses)
1825
01:39:27,570 --> 01:39:28,490
Doctor.
1826
01:39:29,930 --> 01:39:31,260
Why pretend?
1827
01:39:31,550 --> 01:39:32,910
It is very grave.
1828
01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:35,500
Keep him quiet
at all costs.
1829
01:39:35,540 --> 01:39:38,500
If he attempts
to rise, he will die.
1830
01:39:38,540 --> 01:39:39,810
Shhhh.
1831
01:39:43,220 --> 01:39:43,930
Thank you.
1832
01:39:44,980 --> 01:39:47,240
(door closes)
1833
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:55,820
(gate bell rings)
1834
01:39:59,820 --> 01:40:01,490
(gate opens)
1835
01:40:01,530 --> 01:40:03,170
Monsieur.
1836
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:03,860
Ah, Sister.
1837
01:40:09,810 --> 01:40:10,880
(gasp)
1838
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:12,350
What is the matter
with you?
1839
01:40:14,480 --> 01:40:15,900
Shall I tell you
something, Sister?
1840
01:40:16,540 --> 01:40:20,470
Yesterday, Friday, mind you,
I ate meat again.
1841
01:40:21,930 --> 01:40:23,000
Yes, I know.
1842
01:40:23,350 --> 01:40:25,080
That is why you
are so pale.
1843
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:27,930
Please come to me
to the refectory before you go.
1844
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,250
I'll make you a great
bowl of hot soup.
1845
01:40:30,280 --> 01:40:31,630
Of course, of course.
1846
01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:33,950
You're quite reasonable today.
1847
01:40:33,990 --> 01:40:36,120
Perhaps you'll convert me.
1848
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:38,260
Oh, no! Not for the world.
1849
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:40,690
Why, now I think of it,
that is so.
1850
01:40:41,070 --> 01:40:44,560
You, bursting with holiness,
and yet you never preach.
1851
01:40:45,470 --> 01:40:46,760
Astonishing.
1852
01:40:47,060 --> 01:40:49,100
And now I shall astonish you.
1853
01:40:49,690 --> 01:40:54,110
I'm going to let you
pray for me tonight, at Vespers.
1854
01:40:55,830 --> 01:40:58,700
Absolutely struck dumb, eh?
1855
01:41:02,550 --> 01:41:05,180
I did not wait for you
to say I might.
1856
01:41:14,930 --> 01:41:17,450
Now may the devil admire
me if never hope to see
1857
01:41:17,490 --> 01:41:19,570
the end of that embroidery.
1858
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:23,440
After 14 years,
late for the first time.
1859
01:41:23,480 --> 01:41:26,550
Yes.
Yes, maddening.
1860
01:41:27,330 --> 01:41:31,480
I was detained by
a visitor. Most unexpected.
1861
01:41:32,150 --> 01:41:33,660
An old friend of mine.
1862
01:41:34,540 --> 01:41:36,830
At least a very
old acquaintance.
1863
01:41:36,870 --> 01:41:38,320
Did you tell him
to go away?
1864
01:41:38,980 --> 01:41:40,410
For the time being, yes.
1865
01:41:40,440 --> 01:41:45,270
I said excuse me,
I see that it's Saturday,
1866
01:41:45,620 --> 01:41:48,200
I have a previous
engagement.
1867
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:49,620
One I cannot miss.
1868
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:52,340
Even for you.
1869
01:41:53,250 --> 01:41:55,310
Come back an hour from now.
1870
01:41:55,420 --> 01:41:59,170
Your friend will have to wait.
I shall not let you go till dark.
1871
01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:04,970
Perhaps a little before dark,
I must go.
1872
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:09,080
Oh, then tell me now
the court news. My Gazette.
1873
01:42:10,390 --> 01:42:14,190
Ah, yes, well, let me see.
1874
01:42:16,350 --> 01:42:20,840
Saturday, 19th, the King
fell ill after eight helpings of
1875
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:22,170
grape marmalade.
1876
01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:26,320
Grape marmalade will
no longer be served at court.
1877
01:42:28,190 --> 01:42:33,010
Sunday, the royal pulse
is now normal.
1878
01:42:34,630 --> 01:42:37,930
Monday, everyone was
talking about the success
1879
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:39,600
of Moliere's new play.
1880
01:42:40,830 --> 01:42:46,110
Tuesday, the King fell ill
after six helpings of marone glacee.
1881
01:42:47,910 --> 01:42:50,130
Marone glacee will no
longer be served at court.
1882
01:42:51,710 --> 01:42:55,700
Wednesday, the Compte de Firske
spoke to Madame de Monte Glas.
1883
01:42:56,500 --> 01:42:59,380
She said....no.
1884
01:43:01,480 --> 01:43:07,450
Thursday.... Nothing.
1885
01:43:07,490 --> 01:43:10,580
Friday, Madame de Monte Glas
said yes.
1886
01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:18,800
Saturday, 25th....
1887
01:43:19,450 --> 01:43:20,520
Cyrano!
1888
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:24,010
What is it?
Cyrano!
1889
01:43:28,660 --> 01:43:31,300
- Oh, no, no, it is nothing.
- What?
1890
01:43:31,750 --> 01:43:34,200
The old wound at Arras
sometimes...
1891
01:43:34,230 --> 01:43:36,980
- My poor friend.
- No, no, no, it is nothing.
1892
01:43:37,830 --> 01:43:39,350
It will soon be gone.
1893
01:43:41,010 --> 01:43:44,990
(gasp) There. 'Tis gone.
1894
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:48,480
We all have
our old wounds.
1895
01:43:49,020 --> 01:43:53,920
I have mine here,
under this faded scrap of writing.
1896
01:43:55,380 --> 01:43:57,340
It's hard to read now.
1897
01:43:58,370 --> 01:44:01,340
All for the blots
and tears.
1898
01:44:01,370 --> 01:44:02,560
His letter?
1899
01:44:03,480 --> 01:44:06,650
Did you not promise me,
that someday you would let me read it?
1900
01:44:07,090 --> 01:44:12,350
- This letter? You wish...?
- I do wish it....today.
1901
01:44:22,650 --> 01:44:24,230
Open it and read.
1902
01:44:49,700 --> 01:44:54,660
"Farewell, Roxane,
because today I die."
1903
01:44:54,690 --> 01:44:56,000
Aloud?
1904
01:44:57,180 --> 01:45:00,150
"I know that it will be today,
my own dearly beloved.
1905
01:45:01,630 --> 01:45:04,900
"Yet, my heart still so heavy
with love I have not told.
1906
01:45:06,440 --> 01:45:11,330
"And I shall die without telling you.
1907
01:45:11,900 --> 01:45:15,740
"No more shall my eyes
drink the sight of you like wine,
1908
01:45:16,230 --> 01:45:19,180
"never more with a look
that is a kiss,
1909
01:45:19,740 --> 01:45:22,430
"follow the sweet
grace of you."
1910
01:45:22,470 --> 01:45:24,400
How you read it.
His letter.
1911
01:45:24,440 --> 01:45:26,300
"I remember now the way you have
1912
01:45:26,340 --> 01:45:30,280
"of pushing back a lock of hair
with one hand from your forehead,
1913
01:45:30,860 --> 01:45:33,270
- "and my heart cries out..."
- His letter!
1914
01:45:33,310 --> 01:45:35,000
- "cries out and keeps crying."
1915
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:38,240
- You read it so...
- "Farewell, my dear, my dearest,"
1916
01:45:38,270 --> 01:45:40,650
- In a voice...
- "my own heart's own,"
1917
01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:44,230
- "my own treasure,"
- In such a voice!
- "my...love."
1918
01:45:44,260 --> 01:45:47,140
Yes, I remember hearing long ago.
1919
01:45:47,490 --> 01:45:52,210
"I am never away from you.
Even now I shall not leave you.
1920
01:45:53,110 --> 01:45:56,360
"In another world, I shall
still be that one who loves you,
1921
01:45:56,390 --> 01:46:00,110
"loves you beyond measure,
beyond..."
1922
01:46:09,180 --> 01:46:11,130
But, how can you read it now?
1923
01:46:14,420 --> 01:46:17,810
And all those 14 years
he has been the old friend
1924
01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:19,650
who came to me to be amusing.
1925
01:46:20,930 --> 01:46:23,170
- Roxane.
- It was you.
1926
01:46:23,910 --> 01:46:24,880
No, no, Roxane, no.
1927
01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:28,100
And I might have know it every time
that I heard you speak my name.
1928
01:46:28,130 --> 01:46:31,690
- No, it was not I.
- It was you!
- I swear.
1929
01:46:32,460 --> 01:46:34,810
- The letters. That was you.
- No.
1930
01:46:35,140 --> 01:46:38,960
- And the dear foolish words.
That was you.
- No.
1931
01:46:39,190 --> 01:46:43,290
- And the voice in the dark.
That was you.
- On my honor!
1932
01:46:43,330 --> 01:46:47,170
And the soul.
It was all you.
1933
01:46:47,270 --> 01:46:49,180
I never loved you.
1934
01:46:49,350 --> 01:46:50,850
Yes, you loved me.
1935
01:46:50,970 --> 01:46:52,740
Even now you love me.
1936
01:46:53,660 --> 01:46:55,610
(gasp)
No!
1937
01:46:55,650 --> 01:46:57,920
And twice you're great to know.
1938
01:46:57,950 --> 01:47:00,760
Oh, no, no, my own dear love,
I love you not.
1939
01:47:03,340 --> 01:47:05,840
Why were you silent
for so many years?
1940
01:47:06,580 --> 01:47:07,860
All the while.
1941
01:47:08,090 --> 01:47:11,110
Every night, and every day,
he gave me nothing.
1942
01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:13,120
You knew that.
1943
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:16,680
You knew in that letter
lying on my breast.
1944
01:47:17,940 --> 01:47:19,230
Your tears.
1945
01:47:20,580 --> 01:47:22,770
You knew they
were your tears.
1946
01:47:26,390 --> 01:47:28,270
The blood was his.
1947
01:47:29,370 --> 01:47:30,200
Cyrano!
1948
01:47:32,690 --> 01:47:34,320
Here! He's here.
1949
01:47:34,490 --> 01:47:36,270
Oh, what recklessness.
1950
01:47:36,310 --> 01:47:36,570
No.
1951
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:37,430
I knew it!
1952
01:47:37,490 --> 01:47:40,440
- Oh Madame he has killed
himself coming here.
- No. Shh.
1953
01:47:40,700 --> 01:47:42,220
That drink is, what is it?
1954
01:47:42,290 --> 01:47:45,510
Nothing. I did not
finish my Gazette.
1955
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:49,970
Saturday, 26th, an hour
or so before dinner
1956
01:47:50,540 --> 01:47:55,340
Ms. de Bergerac died,
foully murdered.
1957
01:47:55,690 --> 01:47:57,470
Cyrano, what have
they done to you?
1958
01:47:57,600 --> 01:47:59,540
How fate loves a jest.
1959
01:47:59,980 --> 01:48:03,000
Behold me ambushed,
taken unawares.
1960
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:08,830
My noble foe, a lackey.
My battlefield, a gutter.
1961
01:48:09,490 --> 01:48:10,950
It seems too logical.
1962
01:48:11,370 --> 01:48:13,040
They have missed everything,
1963
01:48:13,820 --> 01:48:15,290
even my death.
1964
01:48:16,330 --> 01:48:17,950
Sisters! Sisters!
1965
01:48:17,990 --> 01:48:21,350
No, do not go away.
I may not be here when you return.
1966
01:48:22,030 --> 01:48:23,760
You shall not die.
1967
01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:25,460
(sobbing)
I love you.
1968
01:48:25,490 --> 01:48:27,410
No, my lady,
it's not in the story.
1969
01:48:28,100 --> 01:48:29,900
When beauty said
I love you to the beast
1970
01:48:29,930 --> 01:48:32,990
all his ugliness changed
and dissolved, like magic.
1971
01:48:33,550 --> 01:48:37,370
But, you see,
I am still the same.
1972
01:48:37,440 --> 01:48:39,430
And I have
done this to you.
1973
01:48:39,470 --> 01:48:40,620
You? Why no.
1974
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:42,060
All my fault, mine!
1975
01:48:42,100 --> 01:48:43,320
On the contrary.
1976
01:48:44,060 --> 01:48:47,080
I have never know womanhood
in its sweetness, but for you.
1977
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:50,750
My mother did not
like to look at me.
1978
01:48:52,050 --> 01:48:53,530
I never had a sister.
1979
01:48:54,880 --> 01:49:01,130
Later, I feared those sweethearts
with mockery behind her smile.
1980
01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:06,150
But, because of you,
I have had across my life
1981
01:49:06,930 --> 01:49:10,600
one whispering, silken gown.
1982
01:49:12,780 --> 01:49:15,200
I never loved but
one man in my life.
1983
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:18,680
I have lost him, twice.
1984
01:49:19,660 --> 01:49:23,540
(sobbing)
1985
01:49:23,570 --> 01:49:27,890
I would not have you mourning
any less that good, noble Christian.
1986
01:49:28,980 --> 01:49:32,570
But, perhaps, I ask only this,
1987
01:49:34,100 --> 01:49:36,370
when the great cold
gathers around my bones,
1988
01:49:37,770 --> 01:49:42,590
you may give a double
meaning to your widow's weeds.
1989
01:49:43,910 --> 01:49:50,900
The tears you let fall for him,
may for a little, be my tears.
1990
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:53,040
Oh, my love!
1991
01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:58,400
No, not here.
Not lying down.
1992
01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:01,300
Let no one help me.
No one need help me.
1993
01:50:06,310 --> 01:50:07,430
It is coming.
1994
01:50:08,260 --> 01:50:11,460
I feel already shod with marble.
1995
01:50:12,720 --> 01:50:13,950
Gloved with lead.
1996
01:50:14,730 --> 01:50:16,700
Very well,
let the old fellow come now.
1997
01:50:17,190 --> 01:50:19,600
He shall find me
on my feet.
1998
01:50:21,670 --> 01:50:23,120
Sword in hand.
1999
01:50:23,160 --> 01:50:24,110
Cyrano!
2000
01:50:24,500 --> 01:50:25,890
He'd delirious.
2001
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:28,000
I see him now.
2002
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:28,700
He grins.
2003
01:50:28,740 --> 01:50:30,750
He is looking at my nose!
2004
01:50:30,790 --> 01:50:31,820
That skeleton.
2005
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:33,730
You there.
2006
01:50:33,970 --> 01:50:34,670
Who are you?
2007
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:36,950
A hundred against one, eh?
2008
01:50:37,300 --> 01:50:40,020
I know them now,
my ancient enemies.
2009
01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:40,960
Falsehood, there!
2010
01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:42,470
There, Prejudice!
2011
01:50:42,490 --> 01:50:44,100
Compromise, Cowardice.
2012
01:50:44,580 --> 01:50:47,160
What's that?
Surrender? No, never!
2013
01:50:47,190 --> 01:50:48,430
Never!
2014
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:50,820
Ah, you too, Vanity.
2015
01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:54,180
I knew you would
overthrow me in the end.
2016
01:50:54,210 --> 01:50:57,310
No, I fight, I fight on,
I fight....ow!
2017
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:01,000
(gasping)
2018
01:51:06,540 --> 01:51:08,550
All my laurels
you have riven away.
2019
01:51:10,290 --> 01:51:11,770
And my roses.
2020
01:51:12,940 --> 01:51:15,600
Yet, in spite of you,
there is one crown
2021
01:51:15,630 --> 01:51:16,980
I made away with me.
2022
01:51:17,020 --> 01:51:20,380
And tonight when I
enter before God,
2023
01:51:21,850 --> 01:51:27,140
my salute shall sweep away
the stars from the blue threshold.
2024
01:51:28,310 --> 01:51:33,240
One thing without stain,
unspotted from the world,
2025
01:51:34,240 --> 01:51:40,610

In seventeenth-century Paris, poet and supreme swordsman Cyrano de Bergerac (José Ferrer) stops a play from being shown because he ostensibly cannot stand the bombastic style of the principal actor, Montfleury (Arthur Blake). An annoyed aristocratic fop, the Vicomte de Valvert (Albert Cavens), provokes him into a duel by tritely insulting Cyrano's enormous nose. Cyrano first mocks his lack of wit, improvising numerous inventive ways in which Valvert could have phrased it (much to the amusement of the audience). He then composes a ballade for the occasion on the spot and recites it during the sword fight. With the last line, he stabs his opponent.
Cyrano's friend Le Bret (Morris Carnovsky), Captain of the Gascony Guards, warns him he has made powerful enemies of his victim's friends, but he is unconcerned. When Le Bret presses him to reveal the real reason he hates Montfleury, Cyrano admits that he became jealous when he saw the actor smiling at his beautiful cousin Roxane (Mala Powers). He confesses that he is in love with her, but harbors no hope of it being returned because of his nose. When he receives a request from Roxane to see her in the morning, he is finally emboldened to act.
Then pastry chef and fellow poet Ragueneau (Lloyd Corrigan) approaches him for help. Ragueneau has learned that a nobleman he had mocked with his verses, the Comte De Guiche (Ralph Clanton), has hired a hundred ruffians to teach him a lesson. Cyrano escorts him, kills eight of the horde, and drives off the rest.
The next day, before he can tell Roxane of his feelings, she informs him that she has fallen in love with a handsome guardsman, Christian de Neuvillette (William Prince), though she has not even spoken to him. Cyrano hides his devastation and agrees to help her.
Cyrano befriends the young man, who is in Cyrano's guards' unit, and discovers that he is infatuated with Roxane, but is too inept with words to woo her. To help him, Cyrano composes Christian's love letters to Roxane, which she finds irresistible. Later, Christian decides he wants no more help and tries to speak to Roxane face to face, but fails miserably and she re-enters her house in an angry huff. Cyrano, hiding in the bushes, comes to his rescue, but this time by imitating Christian's voice and speaking to Roxane from under her balcony. He is so eloquent that he (unintentionally) wins a kiss for Christian from Roxane.
When the arrogant Comte De Guiche, who is also wooing Roxane, pressures her to marry him, Cyrano delays him long enough for her to wed Christian instead. Furious, De Guiche, Christian's commander, orders him to join his unit immediately for a war against the Spanish, preventing the couple from spending their wedding night together.
With Cyrano under his command as well, De Guiche earns the swordsman's respect by his conduct in the war. From the field, Cyrano sends Roxane letters every day, supposedly written by Christian. Roxane visits her husband in camp and tells him that she now has fallen in love with him not merely for his looks but because of his words, and would love him even if he were ugly. Realizing that she really loves Cyrano, Christian gets his rival to agree to tell Roxane the truth and let her decide between them. But before the opportunity arises, Christian volunteers for a dangerous mission and is fatally wounded, silencing Cyrano.
Roxane enters a convent in mourning. Years pass, with Cyrano visiting Roxane weekly, having retired from the military and writing satirical articles mocking the nobility. De Guiche, who has also befriended her and has come to respect Cyrano, has overheard a courtier plotting against Cyrano. De Guiche warns Roxane that Cyrano's life may be in danger. One night, Cyrano is lured into an ambush; the poet is run down by a carriage. Near death, he hides his injuries and goes to keep his appointment with Roxane for the last time. His secret love for Roxane is finally revealed when he recites from memory the last of his love letters, which she has kept, but it is too late. Cyrano first slips into delirium, then dies, leaving Roxane to mourn a second time.

(applause continues)
3
00:02:26,210 --> 00:02:29,890
<i>Thrice happy he who hides
from pomp and power</i>
4
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:33,590
<i>in sylvan shade
or solitary bower</i>
5
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,630
<i>where balmy zephyrs
fan his burning cheeks...</i>
6
00:02:37,660 --> 00:02:41,460
- Clown! The king of clowns!
Leave the stage at once!
7
00:02:43,970 --> 00:02:44,620
- Who is it?
8
00:02:44,650 --> 00:02:47,570
It's Cyrano.
I was afraid he'd do this.
9
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,250
<i>Thrice happy he
who hides from pomp and power...</i>
10
00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:54,910
- Wretch! Did I not forbid
you to appear this month?
11
00:02:57,940 --> 00:02:59,260
- Let's be quiet.
- Quiet!
12
00:03:00,190 --> 00:03:01,380
- Go on Montfleury.
13
00:03:04,270 --> 00:03:06,400
<i>Thrice happy he who...</i>
14
00:03:06,430 --> 00:03:07,630
- He who, indeed.
15
00:03:07,660 --> 00:03:10,730
- Donkeys say rather Hee-Haw!
16
00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:17,790
Begone! Or must I come and
help you off the stage myself?
17
00:03:21,130 --> 00:03:24,000
What! Still there?
18
00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:28,220
<i>Where balmy zephyrs
fan his burning cheeks... </i>
19
00:03:28,250 --> 00:03:32,050
Fat swine, if you dare breathe
on balmy zephyr more
20
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,640
I'll fan your cheeks
for you!
21
00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:36,480
Monsieur, won't you all
protect me?
22
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,090
- Proceed, proceed.
- Go on.
23
00:03:38,130 --> 00:03:40,880
Sir, I will not allow you
to insult me in this manner.
24
00:03:40,910 --> 00:03:43,520
Really?
What manner would you prefer?
25
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:44,850
Quiet, down there!
26
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,940
- We'll tolerate
no more of this.
27
00:03:47,870 --> 00:03:49,720
Go on with the play,
Montfleury.
28
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:52,380
(shouting criticisms)
29
00:03:52,410 --> 00:03:54,480
Unless these gentlemen
retain your seats
30
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,790
my sword may
bite their ribbons.
31
00:03:56,830 --> 00:03:58,650
Who is this braggart?
32
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,070
My cousin, sir.
33
00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:04,710
Well, Montfleury,
still no exit?
34
00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:06,930
- Very well then,
I enter
35
00:04:06,970 --> 00:04:11,740
with knife, to carve
this fat, stuffed goose.
36
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:14,800
(ominous music begins)
37
00:04:14,830 --> 00:04:18,080
(crowd clamors)
38
00:04:20,030 --> 00:04:22,170
I pray, do not crowd
my scabbard here.
39
00:04:22,210 --> 00:04:24,320
She may put her
tongue out at you.
40
00:04:24,350 --> 00:04:27,140
(shouted recriminations)
41
00:04:29,870 --> 00:04:30,990
Silence.
42
00:04:31,910 --> 00:04:33,830
I say be silent!
43
00:04:35,450 --> 00:04:38,260
And I offer one universal
challenge to you all:
44
00:04:38,460 --> 00:04:41,410
Will all who wish to die,
please raise their hands.
45
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,360
Approach, young heroes.
I will take your names.
46
00:04:45,140 --> 00:04:47,830
To the first man who falls
I'll build a monument.
47
00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:49,710
Who will head the list?
48
00:04:50,010 --> 00:04:50,780
You, sir?
49
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,000
No.
50
00:04:52,830 --> 00:04:53,610
You?
51
00:04:54,470 --> 00:04:55,170
No, no.
52
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,770
Anyone?
53
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,600
Anyone at all?
54
00:05:01,110 --> 00:05:03,550
Not one...name?
55
00:05:04,260 --> 00:05:06,420
Not one finger?
56
00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:10,260
Very well then,
I go on.
57
00:05:16,130 --> 00:05:18,810
Attend to me, Full Moon.
58
00:05:21,340 --> 00:05:24,190
I clap my hands three times, thus.
59
00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:26,740
(three claps)
60
00:05:26,770 --> 00:05:30,320
At the third, you will...
eclipse yourself.
61
00:05:30,490 --> 00:05:31,390
Ready!
62
00:05:32,110 --> 00:05:32,910
One.
63
00:05:34,010 --> 00:05:34,900
(clap)
64
00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:36,070
How dare you.
65
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:37,210
I demand!
66
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,070
I insist.
67
00:05:38,110 --> 00:05:40,150
- I call upon all the nobles...
- Two!
68
00:05:41,010 --> 00:05:42,080
(clap)
69
00:05:42,110 --> 00:05:43,090
This is an outrage.
70
00:05:43,130 --> 00:05:44,040
You hear, an outrage.
71
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:46,620
Nothing on earth
will move me from this stage.
72
00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:48,800
Three!
73
00:05:49,570 --> 00:05:49,910
(clap)
74
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:55,410
(laughter)
75
00:05:56,260 --> 00:05:59,210
Fair ladies and noble gentlemen...
- Boo!
76
00:05:59,250 --> 00:06:02,560
(laughter)
77
00:06:02,950 --> 00:06:04,210
But, Monsieur de Bergerac,
78
00:06:04,250 --> 00:06:07,490
why have you done this
to our Montfleury, an admirable actor?
79
00:06:07,530 --> 00:06:10,090
I have two reasons,
either one conclusive.
80
00:06:10,670 --> 00:06:12,800
First, he is an
abominable actor,
81
00:06:12,830 --> 00:06:15,870
who mouths his verse
and moans his tragedy.
82
00:06:16,350 --> 00:06:17,630
Second,....
83
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:20,970
Well, that's my secret.
84
00:06:22,530 --> 00:06:25,280
But...
But you've closed the play!
85
00:06:25,310 --> 00:06:26,880
It is not a very good play.
86
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:28,970
Huh!
And of their money?
87
00:06:29,010 --> 00:06:31,080
Possibly you would like
that returned to these good people.
88
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:31,960
Yes?
89
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,360
Yes.
90
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:35,830
Here,...catch!
91
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:37,920
(crowd murmurs)
92
00:06:38,410 --> 00:06:41,960
Well, Monsieur, you are hereby
authorized to close our play every night.
93
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,200
On these terms.
94
00:06:43,230 --> 00:06:43,740
(laughter)
95
00:06:43,780 --> 00:06:46,400
Ladies and gentlemen,
your money will be returned.
96
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,250
Kindly pass out, quietly.
97
00:06:48,290 --> 00:06:50,030
Goodnight, goodnight.
98
00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:53,220
(crowd accepts
in good spirits)
99
00:06:55,740 --> 00:06:57,120
(until...)
100
00:06:59,530 --> 00:07:02,610
Your cousin is an
extraordinary man, Madame.
101
00:07:02,650 --> 00:07:04,080
Oh, I agree.
102
00:07:04,410 --> 00:07:08,550
Soldier, poet, philosopher,
musician, playwright.
103
00:07:08,580 --> 00:07:09,570
All those?
104
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,360
Yes, and the best
swordsman in Paris.
105
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,310
Really?
106
00:07:14,340 --> 00:07:17,060
Now, I should have thought
the Vicomte here had that honor.
107
00:07:17,310 --> 00:07:21,360
Tell me, Madame, that
comic mask, that nose,
108
00:07:21,390 --> 00:07:23,300
presently he will take it off?
109
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:25,950
No, Monsieur, he keeps it.
110
00:07:26,450 --> 00:07:29,350
And heaven help
the man who smiles.
111
00:07:29,850 --> 00:07:31,060
Good night.
112
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,880
Oh, Monsieur!
113
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,980
Monsieur!
114
00:07:40,020 --> 00:07:42,710
Uh, when do you leave Paris?
115
00:07:43,210 --> 00:07:44,100
Sir?
116
00:07:44,250 --> 00:07:46,280
Why, after what you've
just done to Montfleury,
117
00:07:46,310 --> 00:07:48,750
did you not know that
the Compte de Guiche was his patron?
118
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:50,190
Who's yours?
119
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:52,140
No one.
120
00:07:52,170 --> 00:07:52,940
No one?
121
00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:53,870
No patron?
122
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:54,630
I said not.
123
00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:56,900
But the Compte de Guiche
has a long arm.
124
00:07:56,930 --> 00:07:58,900
Mine is longer
by three feet of steel.
125
00:07:59,530 --> 00:08:00,180
Yes, but..
126
00:08:00,860 --> 00:08:02,160
but, what a scare...
127
00:08:02,190 --> 00:08:02,990
You may go now.
128
00:08:03,020 --> 00:08:04,510
- but...
- You may go.
129
00:08:05,810 --> 00:08:08,620
Well, tell me,
why are you staring at my nose?
130
00:08:08,650 --> 00:08:10,160
Oh, I was not staring.
131
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:11,630
Does it astonish you?
132
00:08:11,660 --> 00:08:13,920
Why n...Why no, I've been careful
not to look.
133
00:08:13,950 --> 00:08:15,510
Oh, and why not, if you please?
134
00:08:15,550 --> 00:08:16,730
It disgusts you, then?
135
00:08:16,770 --> 00:08:17,880
But, no, I just...
136
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,700
Does its color appear
to you unwholesome?
137
00:08:19,730 --> 00:08:20,480
By no means.
138
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,310
Then, possibly you find it
just a trifle large?
139
00:08:22,340 --> 00:08:24,500
No, small, very small, tiny!
140
00:08:24,530 --> 00:08:25,640
Infinitesimal!
141
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,960
What?
You accuse me of absurdity?
142
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,730
Small, my nose?
Why magnificent, my nose!
143
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,900
You pug, you knob,
you button head,
144
00:08:34,930 --> 00:08:37,170
know that I glory
in this nose of mine!
145
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,400
For a great nose
indicates a great man,
146
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:45,440
congenial, courteous,
intellectual, virile, courageous.
147
00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:48,050
Whilst that face of yours,
148
00:08:48,370 --> 00:08:54,070
that blank, inglorious concavity
which my right hand finds on top of you,
149
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:59,630
is as devoid of pride, of poetry,
of soul, of picturesqueness,
150
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:04,810
of contour, of character,
of nose, in short,
151
00:09:04,850 --> 00:09:09,740
as that which is at the bottom of
that limp spine of yours my left foot...
- Oh, help!
152
00:09:09,780 --> 00:09:11,550
(laughter)
153
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:13,840
Presently, this fellow
will grow tiresome.
154
00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:16,590
Oh, he blows his horn.
155
00:09:17,330 --> 00:09:19,800
- Well, will no one
put him in his place?
156
00:09:20,270 --> 00:09:22,660
If you would all me.
Observe.
157
00:09:25,090 --> 00:09:31,260
Monsieur, your nose,
your nose is rather large.
158
00:09:34,450 --> 00:09:35,400
Rather?
159
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,350
Oh, well.
160
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:37,620
Is that all?
161
00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:38,540
Well, of course, you...
162
00:09:38,570 --> 00:09:40,400
Ah, no young sir, you're too simple.
163
00:09:40,430 --> 00:09:42,620
Why, you might have
said a great many things.
164
00:09:42,650 --> 00:09:44,800
Why waste your opportunity?
165
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:45,860
For example, thus...
166
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:47,450
Aggressive---
167
00:09:47,490 --> 00:09:51,040
I, sir, if that great nose were mine,
I would have it amputated on the spot.
168
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:52,710
Practical---
169
00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:56,570
How do you drink with such a nose.
You must have had a cup made especially.
170
00:09:56,850 --> 00:09:57,880
Descriptive---
171
00:09:57,910 --> 00:10:00,570
'Tis a rock, a crag, a cape.
172
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,510
A cape, say rather, a peninsula.
173
00:10:05,890 --> 00:10:06,990
Inquisitive---
174
00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:11,400
Uh, what is that receptacle,
a razor case or a portfolio?
175
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,680
Kindly---
176
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,840
Ah, do you love the little birds so much
that when they come and sing to you,
177
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,690
you give them this to perch on?
178
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,570
Cautious---
179
00:10:20,610 --> 00:10:24,120
Take care. A weight like that
might make you top-heavy.
180
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,250
Eloquent---
181
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,510
When it blows the typhoon howls
and the clouds darken.
182
00:10:29,580 --> 00:10:30,400
Dramatic---
183
00:10:30,430 --> 00:10:34,690
When it bleeds...the Red Sea.
184
00:10:35,540 --> 00:10:36,530
Simple---
185
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:39,640
Eh, when do they
unveil the monument?
186
00:10:40,020 --> 00:10:40,900
Military---
187
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:43,510
Beware, a secret weapon!
188
00:10:44,290 --> 00:10:45,620
Enterprising---
189
00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:48,080
What a sigh for some perfumer!
190
00:10:48,490 --> 00:10:49,300
Respectful---
191
00:10:49,330 --> 00:10:52,050
Uh sir, I recognize in you
a man of parts,
192
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,740
a man of...prominence.
193
00:10:54,770 --> 00:10:56,500
Or, Literary---
194
00:10:56,530 --> 00:10:59,360
Was this the nose
that launched a thousand ships?
195
00:11:00,010 --> 00:11:02,850
These, my dear sir, are things
you might have said had you
196
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,690
some tinge of letters or of wit
to color your discourse.
197
00:11:05,810 --> 00:11:07,970
Bit wit not so.
You never had an atom.
198
00:11:08,270 --> 00:11:14,480
And of letters, you need
but three to write you down, a..s..s.
199
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:16,530
Ass.
200
00:11:16,570 --> 00:11:18,040
- (laughter)
- You, sir!
201
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,600
Dolt! Bumpkin! Fool!
202
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:26,620
How do you do, and I,
Cyrano Savinien Hercule de Bergerac.
203
00:11:26,650 --> 00:11:28,050
Vicomte, come.
204
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,650
Such arrogance.
This scarecrow who...
205
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:31,850
Look at him!
206
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,120
No ribbons. No lace.
Not even gloves!
207
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,700
True. I carry my adornments
only on my soul.
208
00:11:39,740 --> 00:11:41,860
Decked with deeds
instead of ribbons.
209
00:11:41,890 --> 00:11:43,420
Mantled in my good name,
210
00:11:43,460 --> 00:11:45,350
and crowned with a
white plume of freedom.
211
00:11:45,380 --> 00:11:46,130
But..
212
00:11:46,170 --> 00:11:47,510
But, I have no gloves.
213
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:48,630
A pity, too.
214
00:11:48,670 --> 00:11:51,630
I had one, the last one of an old pair,
and lost that.
215
00:11:51,660 --> 00:11:53,250
Very careless of me.
216
00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:55,750
Some gentleman offered me
an impertinence.
217
00:11:55,790 --> 00:11:59,840
I left it in his face.
218
00:11:59,870 --> 00:12:00,840
So be it!
219
00:12:02,110 --> 00:12:05,050
You shall die exquisitely
220
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,160
Oh, a poet.
221
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,640
Oh, yes, a poet if you will.
222
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:11,510
So, uh, while we fight,
I'll improvise a ballad for you,
223
00:12:11,540 --> 00:12:15,270
and as I end the refrain,
...skhrch!...thrust home.
224
00:12:15,310 --> 00:12:16,280
Will you?
225
00:12:17,180 --> 00:12:18,130
I will.
226
00:12:21,820 --> 00:12:23,420
(excited crowd)
227
00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:26,890
Ballad au Duel
at the Theatre de Burgoyne
228
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,320
between de Bergerac,
and uh.....a barbarian.
229
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,240
What do you mean by that?
230
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,000
Oh, that?
231
00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:34,960
The title.
232
00:12:34,990 --> 00:12:36,570
(laughter)
233
00:12:36,610 --> 00:12:38,200
Stop. Let me choose my rhyme.
234
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:47,640
So. Here we go.
235
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:50,070
Lightly I toss my hat away.
236
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:55,440
Languidly o'er my arm let fall
the cloak that covers my bright array.
237
00:12:55,510 --> 00:13:00,770
Then, out swords,
and to work withal.
238
00:13:02,660 --> 00:13:05,720
A Lancelot in his lady's hall,
239
00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:10,580
A Spartacus at the Hippodrome,
240
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,340
I dally a while with you..
241
00:13:13,380 --> 00:13:14,750
you jackall.
242
00:13:32,810 --> 00:13:34,360
Just as I end the refrain,
243
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,380
thrust home!
244
00:13:51,290 --> 00:13:54,220
Where shall I skewer my peacock again?
245
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,160
Nay, better for you
to have shunned this brawl.
246
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,010
Here in the heart
or your ribbons, gay,
247
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,610
in the belly
'neath you silken shawl?
248
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,130
Now, come my points floats,
light as the foam
249
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,640
ready to drive you
back to the wall,
250
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:20,030
and then as I end the refrain,
251
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,440
thrust home.
252
00:14:21,930 --> 00:14:23,210
Oh, for a rhyme.
253
00:14:23,580 --> 00:14:25,060
Why, your fight is fading.
254
00:14:25,420 --> 00:14:26,040
You break.
255
00:14:26,350 --> 00:14:26,970
You cower.
256
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:27,600
You cringe.
257
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:28,200
You crawl.
258
00:14:29,310 --> 00:14:30,740
How can I tell
you're allowed to say
259
00:14:30,780 --> 00:14:31,750
something to turn on my head
260
00:14:31,790 --> 00:14:32,720
forestall.....
261
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:33,660
Life with a tunny
262
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:34,970
death with a scall.
263
00:14:35,010 --> 00:14:36,760
Something to turn on my fancy roam,
264
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,670
free for a time till the rhyme's recall,
265
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,620
then as I end the refrain,
266
00:14:40,650 --> 00:14:41,620
thrust home!
267
00:14:43,810 --> 00:14:44,670
Refrain.
268
00:14:45,550 --> 00:14:48,960
Prince,
pray God that is Lord of all,
269
00:14:48,990 --> 00:14:50,840
pardon you soul,
270
00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:54,190
for your time has come.
271
00:14:56,860 --> 00:14:58,820
Pass! I fling you aslant, asprawl.
272
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:00,590
Then as I end the refrain,
273
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,680
thrust home!
274
00:15:41,820 --> 00:15:45,390
(shouts of hurray
and congratulation)
275
00:15:47,130 --> 00:15:49,470
Ladies and gentlemen,
please, please,
276
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:50,790
not until the performance is over.
277
00:15:51,070 --> 00:15:51,980
Close the house.
278
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:52,820
A strike,
279
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,340
but leave the lights.
280
00:15:54,380 --> 00:15:56,070
We rehearse the new
farce tonight.
281
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,240
Wait.
282
00:16:04,110 --> 00:16:05,570
You have only to watch a fight,
283
00:16:05,610 --> 00:16:07,530
or have you ruined
if you listen to them.
284
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:11,570
Think of the enemies you've made,
285
00:16:11,610 --> 00:16:14,050
Montfleury, the Vicomte,
if he lives,
286
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,380
all those foppish marquis,
the Comte de Guiche.
287
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:18,970
That politician.
288
00:16:19,010 --> 00:16:21,910
He's the Cardinal's nephew.
There's power there!
289
00:16:21,950 --> 00:16:23,330
And power here.
290
00:16:23,370 --> 00:16:24,680
Young fool!
291
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,540
Take an example from me.
292
00:16:26,570 --> 00:16:29,810
20 years a captain,
while others who know only
293
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,750
how to deploy their
forces at court
294
00:16:31,780 --> 00:16:33,890
now dangle a marshal's baton.
295
00:16:33,930 --> 00:16:37,360
Well, uh, someday
I will avenge you, too.
296
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,530
Impossible.
Come on, let's go to dinner.
297
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,830
Dinner?
No, not I.
298
00:16:41,860 --> 00:16:42,540
Why not?
299
00:16:42,580 --> 00:16:44,530
Because I have no money.
300
00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:46,150
But, the purse of gold.
301
00:16:46,180 --> 00:16:48,140
Farewell paternal pension.
302
00:16:48,180 --> 00:16:51,430
And you have
until the first of next month?
303
00:16:51,470 --> 00:16:52,310
Nothing.
304
00:16:53,140 --> 00:16:54,460
What a fool.
305
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:56,770
Yes, but, what a moment.
306
00:16:56,810 --> 00:16:57,670
- Pardon, Monsieur.
307
00:17:00,010 --> 00:17:01,770
A man ought
never to go hungry.
308
00:17:02,690 --> 00:17:04,150
I have everything here.
309
00:17:05,490 --> 00:17:06,360
Please.
310
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,080
My dear child, I cannot bend this Gascon
pride of mine to accept such a kindness.
311
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:11,820
But, I...
312
00:17:12,910 --> 00:17:15,810
Yet, for fear that
I may give you pain if I refuse,
313
00:17:16,550 --> 00:17:18,190
I will take something.
314
00:17:19,630 --> 00:17:20,660
A grape.
315
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:25,160
One only.
316
00:17:25,820 --> 00:17:27,170
And a glass of water.
317
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,650
No, clear.
318
00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:35,750
And, uh,...half a macaroon.
319
00:17:37,010 --> 00:17:38,100
Nothing more?
320
00:17:39,060 --> 00:17:39,920
Why, yes.
321
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,230
Your hand to kiss.
322
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,510
Thank you, sir.
323
00:18:02,090 --> 00:18:03,100
Good night.
324
00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:10,290
Idiot.
325
00:18:13,170 --> 00:18:13,890
Dinner.
326
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,160
Drink.
327
00:18:18,830 --> 00:18:19,720
Desert.
328
00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:24,670
Mon Dieux, I was hungry,
abominably.
329
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:26,320
Tell me.
330
00:18:26,590 --> 00:18:27,440
Anything.
331
00:18:27,790 --> 00:18:29,920
Why to you hate
this Montfleury?
332
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:32,860
A very bad actor.
333
00:18:32,890 --> 00:18:34,860
Ah, come now, the real
reason, the truth.
334
00:18:36,610 --> 00:18:39,600
That fat goat who cannot hold
his belly in his arms,
335
00:18:39,630 --> 00:18:42,590
still dreams of being
sweetly dangerous among the women.
336
00:18:43,230 --> 00:18:47,610
Sighs and languishes, making sheep's
eyes out of his great frog's face.
337
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:52,750
I hate him ever since one day
he dared smile upon....
338
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,220
Oh, my friend, I seemed to see over
some flower a great snail crawling.
339
00:19:00,090 --> 00:19:01,180
Eh, what?
340
00:19:02,170 --> 00:19:03,340
Is it possible?
341
00:19:04,890 --> 00:19:06,180
For me to love?
342
00:19:08,770 --> 00:19:09,660
I love.
343
00:19:10,370 --> 00:19:12,570
Whom?
May I know?
344
00:19:12,610 --> 00:19:13,620
Whom I love?
345
00:19:15,070 --> 00:19:16,000
Think a moment.
346
00:19:16,210 --> 00:19:17,280
Think of me.
347
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,670
Me, whom the plainest
woman would despise.
348
00:19:21,030 --> 00:19:25,010
Me, with this nose of mine that
marches on before me by a quarter of an hour.
349
00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:28,000
Whom shall I love.
350
00:19:29,890 --> 00:19:34,930
Why, of course, it must be the
woman in the world most beautiful.
351
00:19:35,780 --> 00:19:37,170
Most beautiful?
352
00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:42,920
In these eyes of mine....
beyond compare.
353
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:44,070
Wait.
354
00:19:44,510 --> 00:19:46,440
Your cousin, Roxane.
355
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,300
Yes.
356
00:19:50,170 --> 00:19:51,080
Roxane.
357
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,810
Well?
358
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,020
Why not?
If you love her, tell her so.
359
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,170
My old friend.
360
00:20:01,150 --> 00:20:03,550
Look at me and tell me how
much hope remains for me
361
00:20:03,580 --> 00:20:04,970
with this protuberance.
362
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,360
Ahhh, I have no more illusions.
363
00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:12,140
Now and then I may grow tender
walking alone in the blue of evening
364
00:20:12,170 --> 00:20:16,130
through some garden fresh with flowers
after the benediction of the rain.
365
00:20:16,980 --> 00:20:20,930
My poor big devil of a nose
inhales April.
366
00:20:21,460 --> 00:20:26,950
And I follow with my eyes where
some boy with a girl upon his arm,
367
00:20:27,510 --> 00:20:32,130
passes a patch of silver...
and I feel somehow....
368
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,490
I wish I had a woman, too,
369
00:20:36,670 --> 00:20:41,660
walking with me under the moon,
and holding my arm and smiling.
370
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:44,240
Then I dream.
371
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:46,140
I forget.
372
00:20:49,510 --> 00:20:53,210
And then I see the shadow
of my profile on the wall.
373
00:20:54,750 --> 00:20:56,050
My friend.
374
00:20:57,180 --> 00:20:58,230
My friend.
375
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,370
I have my bitter days,
knowing myself so ugly, so alone.
376
00:21:03,410 --> 00:21:05,260
Ah, but your wit, your courage,
377
00:21:05,540 --> 00:21:08,170
why that poor child who just
now offered you your dinner,
378
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,710
your saw it, her eyes
did not avoid you.
379
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,920
That is true.
380
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,930
Well, then, Roxane herself,
watching your duel, pale.
381
00:21:18,970 --> 00:21:19,480
Pale?
382
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,670
Yes, her lips parted.
Her hand at her breast, thus.
383
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,020
I saw it.
384
00:21:24,260 --> 00:21:27,260
Speak to her. Speak, man.
385
00:21:35,890 --> 00:21:37,550
She might laugh at me.
386
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:42,480
It is the one thing
in this world I fear.
387
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,490
Pardon, Monsieur,
a lady outside asking for you.
388
00:21:48,410 --> 00:21:49,750
Monsieur.
389
00:21:50,340 --> 00:21:51,270
A Duenna.
390
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,530
I have a message for you
from a...a certain lady.
391
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,760
She desires to know when
and where she may see you privately.
392
00:21:57,810 --> 00:22:00,070
She has certain
things to tell you.
393
00:22:00,690 --> 00:22:01,850
Certain...
394
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,010
Things!
395
00:22:04,230 --> 00:22:05,720
She wishes to see me?
396
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,410
We go tomorrow at dawn
to hear mass at St. Rupe
397
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,070
And afterwards, where
would you suggest?
398
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:12,630
Well, then, I...
399
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:15,300
- Where?
- Well?
400
00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:17,070
Ah....I am thinking.
401
00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:18,080
And you think?
402
00:22:19,770 --> 00:22:20,590
Where?
403
00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:22,060
The shop at Ragueneau's.
404
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:24,580
Yes, yes, Ragueneau,
the pastry cook.
405
00:22:24,620 --> 00:22:25,400
Who dwells?
406
00:22:26,650 --> 00:22:27,590
Rue Saint Honore.
407
00:22:27,630 --> 00:22:28,690
Eh...Rue Saint Honore.
408
00:22:28,730 --> 00:22:33,530
We are agreed. At 7 o'clock.
Until then. Adieu.
409
00:22:38,790 --> 00:22:39,940
I'll be there.
410
00:22:41,620 --> 00:22:44,110
Me! To see me!
411
00:22:44,260 --> 00:22:45,830
Ah, not quite so gloomy.
412
00:22:45,870 --> 00:22:47,580
After all, she knows
that I exist.
413
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,060
Imagine, she has
asked to see me!
414
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:52,240
So, now you're
going to be happy?
415
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,350
Happy.
I'm going to be a storm.
A flame!
416
00:22:55,390 --> 00:22:58,430
I need to fight whole
armies all alone!
417
00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,840
I have ten hearts!
418
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,280
I have a hundred arms!.
419
00:23:01,310 --> 00:23:04,450
I feel too strong
to war with mortals!
420
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,150
BRING ME GIANTS!
421
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:11,240
Quiet, please, shhh.
We are rehearsing back here.
422
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,600
So sorry.
Ha, ha, ha.
423
00:23:21,490 --> 00:23:22,280
Cyrano.
424
00:23:22,830 --> 00:23:23,630
Cyrano.
425
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,590
Ragueneau.
426
00:23:26,150 --> 00:23:27,910
Oh, thank goodness
you're still here.
427
00:23:27,950 --> 00:23:29,180
Well, what's the matter.
428
00:23:29,210 --> 00:23:30,410
I'm afraid to go home.
429
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,040
Why?
430
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,050
You know those
comic verses I wrote?
431
00:23:33,090 --> 00:23:34,830
About the congregation.
432
00:23:34,860 --> 00:23:37,260
Cyrano, he's hired ruffians.
Bullies.
433
00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:39,740
A hundred, waiting for
me on the way home.
434
00:23:39,780 --> 00:23:41,620
They're gonna beat me.
Cane me!
435
00:23:41,650 --> 00:23:44,450
Please, would you permit me
to spend the night with you?
436
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,420
A hundred men,
is that all?
437
00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:49,610
Ragueneau, you're
going home tonight.
438
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,630
But they're armed.
They're cutthroats!
439
00:23:51,690 --> 00:23:53,620
Take this lantern.
Forward march.
440
00:23:53,660 --> 00:23:55,760
I say that I'll be the man
to see you to your shop.
441
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,150
Not you, I want no help from you.
442
00:23:57,190 --> 00:23:58,510
For even for a hundred,
you're mad.
443
00:23:58,550 --> 00:23:59,730
Those are the odds I want.
444
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,420
Why for this pastry cook?
445
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,820
First, because this
pastry cook is a friend of mine.
446
00:24:04,930 --> 00:24:07,820
Second, because this
pastry cook is also a poet.
447
00:24:07,950 --> 00:24:09,360
And, most important,
448
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:12,000
if anything should
happen to this pastry cook,
449
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:16,870
tomorrow morning at seven
his shop will be closed.
450
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:19,590
Goodnight.
451
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,060
(a whistle signal)
452
00:25:37,430 --> 00:25:38,480
Cyrano. Help!
453
00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:43,580
Look out behind you!
454
00:26:22,750 --> 00:26:23,810
I have been robbed.
455
00:26:24,370 --> 00:26:26,070
- There are no hundred here.
456
00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:32,360
It's, it's, it's...
457
00:26:33,820 --> 00:26:35,230
Be quick. Inside.
458
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,550
Bolt the door!
459
00:26:48,510 --> 00:26:49,310
Ah!
460
00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:08,660
Yah!
461
00:27:10,460 --> 00:27:12,210
(ruffians shouting)
462
00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:01,010
Ah!
463
00:28:03,860 --> 00:28:04,560
Awk.
464
00:28:05,860 --> 00:28:08,030
(ruffians shouting)
465
00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:17,280
(Le Bret)
- Cyrano!
466
00:28:17,310 --> 00:28:18,320
- Hold!
467
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:34,330
Ah.
468
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,420
How do you feel?
469
00:28:37,460 --> 00:28:39,540
Oh, pleasantly exhilarated.
470
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:42,990
- Come, I know a little tavern not far...
- Where's Ragueneau?
471
00:28:43,310 --> 00:28:46,320
Ragueneau?
Ragueneau!
472
00:28:46,730 --> 00:28:49,510
Little boy, come out.
All's well!
473
00:28:50,330 --> 00:28:51,990
- Is it over?
- All over.
474
00:28:52,220 --> 00:28:53,020
Really?
475
00:28:54,500 --> 00:28:55,340
So soon?
476
00:28:55,370 --> 00:28:56,140
Ha, ha, ha.
477
00:28:56,170 --> 00:28:59,480
Oh, if only I'd had my sword.
How many did we kill?
478
00:28:59,510 --> 00:29:00,330
Oh, about eight.
479
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:00,960
Eight.
480
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,410
Eight!
481
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,420
Ohhhh.
482
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,910
This.....gentleman
begins to annoy me.
483
00:29:31,980 --> 00:29:33,630
(Ragueneau is a poet, too.)
484
00:29:35,060 --> 00:29:40,010
No. The sauce and meat must rhyme.
Add a pinch of marigold and thyme.
485
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,960
Your house, of course, needs a stronger roof.
Eh? There's proof.
486
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:45,830
Cyrano.
487
00:29:46,830 --> 00:29:47,500
Cyrano.
488
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,100
Come in and eat.
489
00:29:49,130 --> 00:29:51,110
- What time is it?
- Not quite seven.
490
00:29:51,130 --> 00:29:54,140
Oh, now, please, Cyrano.
A man without breakfast is like...
491
00:29:54,180 --> 00:29:56,720
No.
Could she have changed her mind?
492
00:29:56,750 --> 00:29:57,920
Aw, she wouldn't dare.
493
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,900
We were magnificent last night.
494
00:30:00,370 --> 00:30:01,830
And at the theater, too.
495
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,320
'Then, as I end the refrain'....
496
00:30:04,350 --> 00:30:07,390
When she arrives.
Where can we converse undisturbed?
497
00:30:07,420 --> 00:30:09,190
Wherever you like.
My shop is yours.
498
00:30:09,310 --> 00:30:11,900
The little dining room
is quite romantic.
499
00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:14,490
'Thrust home!'
Yea gods, what a line.
500
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,650
- 'Then as I end the re....'
- Vanish.
501
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:18,110
- Uh, huh, she's come?
- Shhhh.
502
00:30:18,140 --> 00:30:18,920
I swear.
503
00:30:27,340 --> 00:30:28,170
Welcome.
504
00:30:38,470 --> 00:30:40,510
- A pardon, one word.
- Oh, yes?
505
00:30:40,550 --> 00:30:41,520
Have you a good digestion?
506
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,430
Oh, wonderful.
507
00:30:43,290 --> 00:30:48,800
Eh, here are some éclairs.
Uh, creampuffs.
508
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,160
Some, uh, jellyrolls.
And do you like nature?
509
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,400
I adore it.
510
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,760
Go out and eat these in the sunshine.
Do not return.
511
00:30:56,790 --> 00:30:57,440
But why?
512
00:30:57,470 --> 00:30:58,910
Until you have finished them.
513
00:30:58,940 --> 00:31:00,340
(outside)
- What do I do then?
514
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,750
(door closes)
515
00:31:09,970 --> 00:31:13,000
Blessed above all others be the hour
when you remember to remember me,
516
00:31:13,230 --> 00:31:15,800
and came to tell me......what?
517
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,750
To tell you that....
518
00:31:19,060 --> 00:31:21,810
Before I dare tell you I....
519
00:31:22,020 --> 00:31:24,850
Are you, I wonder, still
the same big brother almost
520
00:31:24,890 --> 00:31:26,720
that you used to be
when we were children,
521
00:31:26,750 --> 00:31:29,570
playing by the pond
in the old garden down there?
522
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,570
At Bergerac.
Those lovely summers.
523
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,700
You use to make swords
out of bulrushes.
524
00:31:33,740 --> 00:31:35,810
And you, dandelions
also golden hair.
525
00:31:35,890 --> 00:31:37,930
In those days
I could tell you everything.
526
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,860
And you did
everything I wished.
527
00:31:40,060 --> 00:31:44,830
Little Roxane, a sweet tyrone
with short skirts and long hair.
528
00:31:44,860 --> 00:31:45,780
Was I pretty?
529
00:31:49,830 --> 00:31:51,270
Not too plain.
530
00:31:52,150 --> 00:31:54,490
Sometimes when you had fallen
or hurt your hand,
531
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,670
you used to come running to me,
and I would be your mother and say,
532
00:31:57,710 --> 00:32:02,770
oh, with a very grownup voice,
'Now, what have you been doing to yourself?'
533
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,300
'Let me see.'
534
00:32:05,890 --> 00:32:07,060
- Oh!
- No one that.
535
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:08,230
Wait, let me see.
536
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,540
Still. At your age?
537
00:32:12,010 --> 00:32:13,810
Now, how did you do that?
538
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,910
Playing with the big boys
at the Place de Neanne.
539
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:18,410
Come here.
540
00:32:19,330 --> 00:32:21,020
Such a wise little mother.
541
00:32:21,030 --> 00:32:24,740
And tell me, while I wash this
blood away, how many you played with?
542
00:32:24,770 --> 00:32:26,840
- Oh, about a hundred.
- A hundred?
543
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,950
- More or less.
- It can't be.
544
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:31,080
No.
545
00:32:31,670 --> 00:32:33,720
Tell me what you were
going to tell me.....
546
00:32:34,130 --> 00:32:35,320
if you dared.
547
00:32:36,190 --> 00:32:38,060
I think I do dare, now.
548
00:32:38,860 --> 00:32:41,450
It seems so like
those happy days long ago.
549
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,780
Yes, I dare.
550
00:32:44,350 --> 00:32:47,190
Listen....I love someone.
551
00:32:47,850 --> 00:32:48,440
Yes?
552
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,150
Someone who does not know.
553
00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:51,340
Yes?
554
00:32:51,450 --> 00:32:54,970
Someone who loves me, too,
but is afraid of me and keeps away
555
00:32:55,010 --> 00:32:56,340
and never says one word.
556
00:32:57,570 --> 00:32:58,270
(softly)
Yes.
557
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,210
Give my that hand.
558
00:33:01,870 --> 00:33:03,080
Why, how hot it is.
559
00:33:04,390 --> 00:33:06,390
Yes, he loves me.
I am sure of it.
560
00:33:06,740 --> 00:33:07,530
(softly)
Yes.
561
00:33:08,110 --> 00:33:10,730
And he is a soldier, too,
in your own regiment,
562
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,710
your own company.
563
00:33:11,740 --> 00:33:12,750
(loud)
Yes.
564
00:33:13,340 --> 00:33:14,480
Such a man.
565
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,280
He is proud, noble, young, brave,
566
00:33:18,610 --> 00:33:19,700
beautiful!
567
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:22,550
(softly)
Beautiful.
568
00:33:25,180 --> 00:33:26,040
What's the matter?
569
00:33:26,460 --> 00:33:27,160
Oh, nothing.
570
00:33:28,110 --> 00:33:30,210
It's this, my hand.
571
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,280
I love him.
That is all.
572
00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:38,230
And I have never seen him
anywhere except in the theater.
573
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,710
You have never spoken?
574
00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:42,790
Only with our hearts.
575
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,080
Well, then, how do you know?
576
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:50,270
Well, people talk about people,
and I hear things, and...
577
00:33:51,370 --> 00:33:52,700
and I know.
578
00:33:53,890 --> 00:33:55,540
(firmly)
You say he is in the guards?
579
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,530
His name?
580
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,270
Baron Christian de Neuvillette.
581
00:34:02,790 --> 00:34:03,910
You know him?
582
00:34:04,290 --> 00:34:05,650
He is not in the guards.
583
00:34:05,690 --> 00:34:07,020
Yes, since last week.
584
00:34:07,770 --> 00:34:09,550
He is only lately
come to Paris...
585
00:34:09,730 --> 00:34:11,140
from Normandy.
586
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,070
So soon.
So soon we lose our hearts.
587
00:34:15,570 --> 00:34:16,160
What...
(door opens)
588
00:34:16,190 --> 00:34:17,220
(Duenna)
- Monsieur de Bergerac
589
00:34:17,250 --> 00:34:18,850
- I have eaten all the cakes.
590
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,280
Good.
Now, go out and enjoy nature.
591
00:34:23,020 --> 00:34:26,110
But my dear child, you love
only words, wit, poetry.
592
00:34:26,150 --> 00:34:29,950
Why, for all you know,
the man may be a savage or a fool.
593
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:34,290
Not with such eyes.
I read his soul in them.
594
00:34:35,270 --> 00:34:38,360
Yes, all our souls are
written in our eyes.
595
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,720
And you have brought
me here to tell me this?
596
00:34:42,980 --> 00:34:45,890
I do not yet quite understand,
madam, the reason for your confidence.
597
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:52,640
They say, that in your company,
it frightens me, you are all Gascon.
598
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,850
We pick a quarrel with any outsider
who intrudes himself.
599
00:34:54,890 --> 00:34:56,250
Is that what you have heard?
600
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,150
- I'm so afraid for him.
- Not without reason.
601
00:34:59,190 --> 00:35:03,730
And I thought you...
it's you whom they all respect and fear.
602
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,590
You want me to defend
your little Baron?
603
00:35:08,630 --> 00:35:09,740
Will you?
604
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:11,670
Just for me.
605
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,440
Because I have always
been your friend.
606
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,790
And this is what
you want of me?
607
00:35:16,820 --> 00:35:18,430
Will you be his friend?
608
00:35:20,450 --> 00:35:22,200
I will be his friend.
609
00:35:22,230 --> 00:35:23,040
And never let him
fight a duel.
610
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,060
No, never.
611
00:35:24,090 --> 00:35:24,750
Promise?
612
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:26,980
I promise.
613
00:35:27,420 --> 00:35:30,860
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
I knew I could rely on you.
614
00:35:33,930 --> 00:35:35,410
Well, now I must go.
615
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,480
Oh, you never told
me about last night.
616
00:35:43,970 --> 00:35:45,790
Why, you must
have been a hero.
617
00:35:45,820 --> 00:35:50,240
Have write and tell me all about it,
and...about himself.
618
00:35:51,420 --> 00:35:54,330
Oh, you are a darling.
We are great friends, are we not?
619
00:35:54,860 --> 00:35:56,330
He must write to me.
620
00:35:58,390 --> 00:36:01,490
A hundred men against one.
You shall tell me the whole story
621
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:02,980
someday when we have time.
622
00:36:06,570 --> 00:36:10,170
A hundred men.
What courage!
623
00:36:14,030 --> 00:36:16,810
I have done better.
624
00:36:21,820 --> 00:36:22,450
Well?
625
00:36:24,890 --> 00:36:26,050
Let us leave this place.
626
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,620
But the whole company
is on its way here.
627
00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:28,330
Oh, no.
628
00:36:28,370 --> 00:36:30,870
On my heels. Naturally I told
them all about last night.
629
00:36:30,900 --> 00:36:31,880
They're wild.
630
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:32,830
Here they are.
631
00:36:32,860 --> 00:36:35,420
- Yes, but, why did you?
- Perhaps I can stop them.
632
00:36:36,210 --> 00:36:36,870
Never mind.
633
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,220
Cyrano!
634
00:36:39,260 --> 00:36:46,070
(greetings and cheers to Cyrano)
635
00:36:49,130 --> 00:36:51,570
Eight dead men in the street.
Scandalous.
636
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,010
You know my edict
against dueling, nephew.
637
00:36:54,050 --> 00:36:55,580
I expect to have it enforced.
638
00:36:55,610 --> 00:36:58,940
Furthermore, I wish to know
who was responsible for last night's
639
00:36:58,970 --> 00:37:00,410
outrage at the Place de Neanne.
640
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:01,840
I understand, Your Eminence.
641
00:37:02,050 --> 00:37:04,180
Very well.
And now I have news
642
00:37:04,210 --> 00:37:06,310
that should be more
to you liking.
643
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:13,410
I fear, in confidence, our
uneasy armistice with Spain is doomed.
644
00:37:13,450 --> 00:37:14,410
My colonelcy?
645
00:37:14,450 --> 00:37:16,670
You commission has been prepared.
646
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:18,890
Oh, thank you, uncle, thank you.
647
00:37:19,230 --> 00:37:20,630
Oh, one thing more.
648
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,600
Last night at the theater,
the duel in rhyme,
649
00:37:24,790 --> 00:37:26,970
that guardsman with a nose.
650
00:37:27,010 --> 00:37:30,240
- Bergerac, that impossible Gascon.
- Yes, impossible.
651
00:37:30,260 --> 00:37:32,300
- His treatment of Montfleury.
- Abominable.
652
00:37:32,330 --> 00:37:35,230
- The arrogance with which he closed the play.
- Incredible.
653
00:37:35,260 --> 00:37:38,130
- It will be a miracle if the Vicomte survives.
- A sorrow.
654
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,720
What will you do
with him, Your Eminence?
655
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,100
I? Nothing.
656
00:37:41,140 --> 00:37:43,290
I thought I might
leave that to you.
657
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,500
To me?
658
00:37:44,530 --> 00:37:48,270
Yes. Place him somewhere
in your service,
659
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:49,890
with a comfortable allowance.
660
00:37:49,930 --> 00:37:51,390
He looked a little threadbare.
661
00:37:51,430 --> 00:37:55,020
I...You...But, Your Eminence.
You detest dueling.
662
00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:55,960
Of course I do.
663
00:37:56,350 --> 00:37:58,070
Why didn't you prevent it?
664
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,350
I should much prefer
that monsieur de Beregrac
665
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,300
live by the pen,
rather than die by the sword.
666
00:38:06,590 --> 00:38:08,470
Do you not agree, Antoine?
667
00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:12,560
By all means, Your Eminence.
By all means.
668
00:38:14,830 --> 00:38:21,650
'And then, as I end the refrain...
thrust home.'
669
00:38:24,790 --> 00:38:28,740
(Carousing at Ragueneau's)
670
00:38:33,220 --> 00:38:39,860
(noisy celebration of Cyrano's
defeat of 'a hundred' ruffians)
671
00:38:44,210 --> 00:38:46,580
(Antoine Comte de Guiche enters)
672
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:48,620
Monsieur de Bergerac.
673
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,390
Your Excellency.
674
00:38:51,970 --> 00:38:54,750
I have come to express my....
675
00:38:54,790 --> 00:38:58,550
admiration for both
your exploits last night.
676
00:38:58,590 --> 00:39:01,290
Indeed. Thank you.
677
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,900
My dear fellow,
we may have had our differences,
678
00:39:04,930 --> 00:39:07,550
but I am disposed
to forget them.
679
00:39:07,570 --> 00:39:09,710
That is very generous
of you, sir.
680
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:10,560
No, truly.
681
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,970
You are, it seems, a man
of many skills.
682
00:39:14,010 --> 00:39:17,350
A rare combination
soldier and poet.
683
00:39:18,060 --> 00:39:21,750
- Would you care to join my following?
- No, sir.
684
00:39:21,790 --> 00:39:23,260
I do not follow.
685
00:39:23,770 --> 00:39:25,980
I am told you have
written a play.
686
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,510
As you know, my uncle,
the Cardinal, is also a dramatist.
687
00:39:29,540 --> 00:39:30,990
I might help you there.
688
00:39:31,150 --> 00:39:34,050
Cyrano, now at last
you can have it performed.
689
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,200
Why not?
690
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:36,620
I could take it to him.
691
00:39:37,860 --> 00:39:39,330
Really?
692
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,460
Of course.
Let him rewrite a few lines
693
00:39:41,490 --> 00:39:43,770
here and there, and
he'll find a theater for you.
694
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,230
Rewrite...my lines?
695
00:39:47,670 --> 00:39:49,150
Impossible.
696
00:39:49,190 --> 00:39:52,040
Uh, when he likes a thing,
he pays well.
697
00:39:52,070 --> 00:39:53,240
Yes, but not so well as I.
698
00:39:53,270 --> 00:39:55,460
When I have made a line
that sings itself
699
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:57,220
I pay myself a hundred times.
700
00:39:57,250 --> 00:39:58,940
You are proud, my friend.
701
00:39:58,970 --> 00:40:00,020
You have observed that?
702
00:40:00,060 --> 00:40:02,460
- Cyrano.
See what we found in the street.
703
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:05,140
Plumes dropped in their flight
by those fine birds
704
00:40:05,170 --> 00:40:06,860
who showed their
tail feathers!
705
00:40:06,890 --> 00:40:08,590
(laughter)
706
00:40:08,620 --> 00:40:10,180
The man who hired
those scoundrels,
707
00:40:10,210 --> 00:40:12,010
he must be an
angry man today.
708
00:40:12,050 --> 00:40:13,430
Who was it?
Do you know?
709
00:40:13,850 --> 00:40:14,790
It was I.
710
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,870
I hired them to do the sort
of work we do not soil our hands with.
711
00:40:20,660 --> 00:40:22,940
Punishing an insolent poet.
712
00:40:22,970 --> 00:40:25,610
They ought to be mounted
before they spoil.
713
00:40:25,650 --> 00:40:27,850
(laughter)
What shall we do with them?
714
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:36,460
Sir, will you not return these
to your friends?
715
00:40:40,310 --> 00:40:42,190
Have you read Don Quixote?
716
00:40:42,230 --> 00:40:44,650
I have and found
myself the hero.
717
00:40:44,690 --> 00:40:47,770
Be so good as to read once more
the capture of the windmills.
718
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,010
Chapter 13.
719
00:40:50,150 --> 00:40:52,200
Windmills, remember,
if you fight with them...
720
00:40:52,230 --> 00:40:56,590
may swing round their huge arms
and cast you down into the mire.
721
00:40:56,630 --> 00:40:59,010
Or up among the stars.
722
00:41:01,250 --> 00:41:01,970
Gentlemen.
723
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:03,320
Gentlemen.
724
00:41:03,570 --> 00:41:04,550
Gentlemen.
725
00:41:05,220 --> 00:41:06,610
You've done it, now.
726
00:41:06,650 --> 00:41:07,860
You've made your fortune.
727
00:41:07,890 --> 00:41:09,070
He was willing to forget.
728
00:41:09,490 --> 00:41:11,180
There you go again, growling.
729
00:41:11,210 --> 00:41:13,460
Yesss,
this latest pose of yours,
730
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:16,070
ruining every opportunity
that comes you way,
731
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:17,100
becomes exaggerated.
732
00:41:17,140 --> 00:41:18,250
Very well, then, I exaggerate.
733
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:19,710
There are certain things
in this world
734
00:41:19,740 --> 00:41:21,100
a man does well
to carry to extremes.
735
00:41:21,140 --> 00:41:23,710
Your precious independence.
Your white plume.
736
00:41:23,740 --> 00:41:25,410
How do you expect
to succeed in life?
737
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,400
What would you have me do?
738
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,590
Seek for the patronage
of some great man
739
00:41:28,630 --> 00:41:31,880
and like a creeping vine
on a tall tree crawl upward
740
00:41:31,910 --> 00:41:33,520
where I cannot stand alone?
741
00:41:33,940 --> 00:41:34,850
No, thank you.
742
00:41:35,210 --> 00:41:39,880
Be a buffoon in the vile hope
of teasing out a smile on some cold face.
743
00:41:40,340 --> 00:41:41,710
No, thank you.
744
00:41:42,050 --> 00:41:44,260
Eat a toad for breakfast
every morning.
745
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:47,530
Make my knees calloused.
Cultivate a supple spine.
746
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,320
Wear out my belly
groveling in the dust.
747
00:41:49,590 --> 00:41:50,400
No, thank you.
748
00:41:50,860 --> 00:41:54,880
With my left hand scratch the back
of any swine that roots up gold for me
749
00:41:54,910 --> 00:41:58,910
while my right, too proud to know
his partner's business, takes in the fee.
750
00:41:58,940 --> 00:41:59,920
No, thank you.
751
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,810
Shall I use the fire God gave me
to burn incense all day long?
752
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,020
No, thank you.
753
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,410
Struggle to insinuate my name
into the columns of the Gazette?
754
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:13,250
Calculate, scheme, be afraid?
Love more to make a visit than a poem?
755
00:42:13,290 --> 00:42:15,990
Seek introductions, favors,
influences?
756
00:42:16,020 --> 00:42:17,050
No, thank you.
757
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,270
No, I thank you, and
again I thank you.
758
00:42:23,930 --> 00:42:30,320
But, to sing, to laugh, to dream,
to walk in my own way,
759
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,510
free with and eye
to see things as they are.
760
00:42:33,380 --> 00:42:35,240
A voice that means manhood.
761
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,640
To cut my have
the right shoes.
762
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:46,150
And a word, a yes, a no,
to fight, or write,
763
00:42:46,830 --> 00:42:48,440
but never to make
a line I have not heard
764
00:42:48,470 --> 00:42:49,780
in my own heart.
765
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,380
To travel any
road under the sun,
766
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,780
under the stars,
767
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,520
nor care if fame or fortune
lie beyond the bourne.
768
00:43:00,370 --> 00:43:02,250
Yet, with all modesty to say,
769
00:43:03,250 --> 00:43:05,830
my soul be satisfied
with flowers,
770
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:08,000
with weeds,
771
00:43:09,210 --> 00:43:10,840
with thorns, even,
772
00:43:11,910 --> 00:43:14,940
but gather them in the one garden
you may call your own.
773
00:43:16,230 --> 00:43:18,450
In a word, I'm too proud
to be a parasite.
774
00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:21,470
And if mine intellect the germ
that grows towering to heaven
775
00:43:21,500 --> 00:43:22,770
like the mountain pine
776
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,570
I stand not high, it may be,
777
00:43:27,260 --> 00:43:28,460
but alone.
778
00:43:28,500 --> 00:43:31,170
Alone, yes, but why
go about making enemies?
779
00:43:32,100 --> 00:43:35,850
Watching other people
making friends...everywhere,
780
00:43:35,890 --> 00:43:37,980
as a dog makes friends.
781
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,550
I mark the manner of
these canine courtesies,
782
00:43:41,580 --> 00:43:46,770
and think, here comes,
thank heaven, another enemy.
783
00:43:46,810 --> 00:43:52,760
Yes, tell this to all the world,
and then to me say very softly
784
00:43:52,790 --> 00:43:55,540
that she loves you not.
785
00:43:58,830 --> 00:44:00,940
Let me be alone
for a moment.
786
00:44:03,990 --> 00:44:05,050
Cyrano, wait.
787
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,760
Give us your story
of the fight.
788
00:44:07,530 --> 00:44:08,400
Presently.
789
00:44:08,430 --> 00:44:10,010
No, the story, now!
790
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,970
Oh, let him alone.
There's time enough.
791
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,360
I want it now!
792
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,090
As an example for that young
tadpole sneaking out the doorway.
793
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,040
You, there.
794
00:44:25,310 --> 00:44:26,820
Are you addressing me?
795
00:44:28,190 --> 00:44:32,770
Yes, you flat-footed
Norman farmer.
796
00:44:36,190 --> 00:44:37,470
You wish something of me?
797
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:39,950
Listen, Monsieur de...de...de
whatever your name is.
798
00:44:39,980 --> 00:44:40,920
de Neuvillette!
799
00:44:41,090 --> 00:44:43,230
Baron Christan de Neuvillette.
800
00:44:43,270 --> 00:44:45,370
Very well, de Neuvillette.
801
00:44:45,670 --> 00:44:48,080
As you are a newcomer here,
you should know there is a
802
00:44:48,110 --> 00:44:52,300
certain subject or object, if you prefer,
that is never mentioned among us.
803
00:44:52,340 --> 00:44:53,340
And that is....?
804
00:44:53,370 --> 00:44:54,500
Look at me!
805
00:44:54,540 --> 00:44:55,980
(touching his nose)
806
00:44:56,020 --> 00:44:57,360
You understand?
807
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:58,670
You mean....?
808
00:44:58,700 --> 00:45:01,090
Thus we never speak that word.
809
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,390
To even breathe it is
to have to do with him.
810
00:45:04,420 --> 00:45:08,760
He has exterminated several
whose mere tone of voice suggested...
811
00:45:08,790 --> 00:45:12,920
Would you die before your time?
Just mention anything convex.
812
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,530
Or cartilaginous.
813
00:45:14,570 --> 00:45:18,540
One word. One syllable.
One gesture. Nay, one sneeze.
814
00:45:18,570 --> 00:45:21,330
And your handkerchief
becomes your winding sheet.
815
00:45:24,110 --> 00:45:24,920
Captain.
816
00:45:25,430 --> 00:45:26,290
Sir?
817
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:30,090
What is the proper thing to do
when Gascons grow too boastful?
818
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,820
Prove to them that one may
be a Norman and still have courage.
819
00:45:33,850 --> 00:45:35,100
I thank you.
820
00:45:41,330 --> 00:45:43,360
Come on, Cyrano, your story.
821
00:45:44,420 --> 00:45:47,330
(shouts of encouragement)
822
00:45:47,740 --> 00:45:49,540
Now, let me see.
Where shall we begin?
823
00:45:50,450 --> 00:45:52,510
I followed with our host
to meet those scoundrels
824
00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:53,640
not knowing where
they might attack.
825
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,340
No lamps in those narrow
back streets.
826
00:45:57,500 --> 00:45:58,600
No moon in the sky.
827
00:45:59,340 --> 00:46:01,220
Dark. Everything dark.
828
00:46:01,430 --> 00:46:04,040
It was so dark, Mon Dieux,
you could not see beyond...
829
00:46:04,070 --> 00:46:05,470
Your nose!
830
00:46:05,850 --> 00:46:08,480
(Christian shows his courage.)
831
00:46:25,250 --> 00:46:33,250
Who...is that...man...there?
832
00:46:34,260 --> 00:46:35,380
- A new recruit.
833
00:46:36,070 --> 00:46:37,550
- Arrived last week.
834
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,080
A recruit, eh?
835
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:41,940
Ha, ha---.
836
00:46:41,970 --> 00:46:45,320
His name is Christian de Neuvillette.
837
00:46:45,350 --> 00:46:48,660
(Cyrano remembers his
promise to Roxane.)
838
00:46:58,510 --> 00:46:59,570
I see.
839
00:47:02,670 --> 00:47:03,510
Very well.
840
00:47:04,850 --> 00:47:06,470
As I was saying.
841
00:47:10,830 --> 00:47:11,930
It grew dark.
842
00:47:12,460 --> 00:47:15,180
You could not see
your hand before your eyes.
843
00:47:16,310 --> 00:47:19,470
I marched on thinking our all for
the sake of one amateur poet
844
00:47:19,510 --> 00:47:22,660
- who wrote a verse whenever he took a..
- A nose full.
845
00:47:24,370 --> 00:47:25,770
...whenever he took a notion.,
846
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,600
and might antagonize
some dangerous man.
847
00:47:28,630 --> 00:47:30,830
One powerful enough
to make me pay...
848
00:47:30,860 --> 00:47:31,980
Through the nose!
849
00:47:32,010 --> 00:47:33,090
...pay the piper!
850
00:47:33,410 --> 00:47:35,430
After all, I thought,
why am I putting in my..
851
00:47:35,470 --> 00:47:36,310
- Nose!
852
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:39,170
...putting in my oar in a quarrel
that was none of mine,
853
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,240
however now that I am here,
I may as well go through with it.
854
00:47:41,270 --> 00:47:42,840
Come Gascon, do your duty.
855
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,850
Suddenly a sword
flashed in the dark!
856
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:45,810
I caught it fair...
857
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:46,810
On the nose!
858
00:47:47,940 --> 00:47:49,130
...on my blade!
859
00:47:49,170 --> 00:47:50,530
Before I knew it,
there I was...
860
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:51,690
Rubbing noses!
861
00:47:51,730 --> 00:47:53,840
...crossing swords with
harvard's joy once.
862
00:47:53,870 --> 00:47:54,940
I had the bottom then...
863
00:47:54,980 --> 00:47:55,900
A nosegay!
864
00:47:55,940 --> 00:47:57,160
...a monstrous crab tree.
865
00:47:57,610 --> 00:48:00,170
(breathing heavily)
He went down for as a wave.
866
00:48:00,380 --> 00:48:00,990
I charged...
867
00:48:01,030 --> 00:48:02,590
Who was in the air hard.
868
00:48:02,620 --> 00:48:03,450
...at the two of them.
869
00:48:04,750 --> 00:48:05,900
Another lunged,
and I parried...
870
00:48:05,940 --> 00:48:07,220
Through your nose!
871
00:48:07,250 --> 00:48:09,310
Right out of here!
All of you go!
872
00:48:09,340 --> 00:48:10,120
Leave me with him.
873
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,660
To my arms, sir.
You have courage.
874
00:48:28,690 --> 00:48:29,880
- That pleases me.
- Why?
875
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,820
Come, do you not know
I am her brother?
876
00:48:31,850 --> 00:48:32,460
Whose?
877
00:48:32,500 --> 00:48:34,250
Hers. Roxane.
878
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:38,390
Brother?
879
00:48:39,260 --> 00:48:40,170
You?
880
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,150
Well, a distant cousin.
Much the same.
881
00:48:42,510 --> 00:48:44,450
- Then she has told you?
- Everything.
882
00:48:44,580 --> 00:48:46,680
- She loves me?
- Perhaps.
883
00:48:47,610 --> 00:48:49,950
My dear sir, more than I can say.
I am honored.
884
00:48:49,990 --> 00:48:52,040
- Rather sudden.
- Oh, please, forgive me.
885
00:48:52,260 --> 00:48:54,270
If you knew how
much I have admired you.
886
00:48:54,310 --> 00:48:57,620
- Yes, yes, and all those noses.
- Please. I apologize.
887
00:48:59,060 --> 00:49:00,680
Roxane expects a letter.
888
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:02,300
- From me?
- Yes, why not?
889
00:49:02,340 --> 00:49:03,180
Oh,, No.
890
00:49:03,530 --> 00:49:05,880
- Once I write, that ruins everything.
- Why?
891
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,020
Because, any schoolboy can write
to her more gracefully than I.
892
00:49:09,590 --> 00:49:10,730
A fool!
893
00:49:10,900 --> 00:49:14,560
- You did not attack me like a fool.
- Anyone can pick a quarrel.
894
00:49:14,740 --> 00:49:16,580
No, I'm never at loss
for words among men,
895
00:49:16,610 --> 00:49:21,260
but with any women...
paralyzed...speechless, dumb.
896
00:49:21,460 --> 00:49:23,600
I'm one of those
stammering idiots
897
00:49:23,630 --> 00:49:25,270
who can not court a woman.
898
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:26,170
Really?
899
00:49:26,810 --> 00:49:28,700
As for myself,
it seems to me that
900
00:49:28,730 --> 00:49:32,300
given the opportunity,
and if I put my mind to it,
901
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,390
I could do that..
rather well.
902
00:49:35,420 --> 00:49:37,870
Oh, is I had words to say
what I have here!
903
00:49:37,900 --> 00:49:39,450
If I were handsome
like you.
904
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,780
Together, we could make
one mighty hero of romance.
905
00:49:43,820 --> 00:49:45,330
If only I had your wit.
906
00:49:50,570 --> 00:49:51,710
Borrow it, then.
907
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:53,150
What?
908
00:49:54,670 --> 00:49:55,490
Tell me,
909
00:49:56,910 --> 00:49:59,770
would you dare repeat to her
the words I gave you day by day?
910
00:50:00,330 --> 00:50:02,420
Send to her
the letters that I write?
911
00:50:02,460 --> 00:50:04,800
I mean, that Roxane
should have no disillusionment.
912
00:50:05,180 --> 00:50:06,820
Come, shall we win her
both together?
913
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:07,800
For you?
914
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,970
- Why, Cyrano...
- Christian, why not?
915
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,850
I...I'm afraid.
916
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,030
Afraid that when you
have her all alone, you will lose her.
917
00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:16,420
Have not fear,
it is your self she loves.
918
00:50:16,450 --> 00:50:17,920
Give her yourself.
919
00:50:17,950 --> 00:50:23,670
Put into words,
my words...upon your lips.
920
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:25,180
Will you?
921
00:50:26,780 --> 00:50:28,030
Will you?
922
00:50:28,910 --> 00:50:30,740
Does it mean
so much to you?
923
00:50:30,770 --> 00:50:32,360
It means....
924
00:50:34,110 --> 00:50:37,060
It means a comedy,
a situation for a poet.
925
00:50:37,190 --> 00:50:38,350
Come, shall we collaborate?
926
00:50:38,390 --> 00:50:42,420
I'll be your cloak of darkness,
your enchanted sword,
927
00:50:42,460 --> 00:50:45,330
your ring to charm
the fairy princess.
928
00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:49,180
Think!
Is the prize not worth the danger?
929
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:52,980
My friend!
930
00:50:54,620 --> 00:50:55,740
My friend.
931
00:50:56,890 --> 00:51:00,100
Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
932
00:51:00,350 --> 00:51:03,650
Plucking the flowers,
we will keep the plant in bloom.
933
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,010
Thus do I love thee,
my darling.
934
00:51:08,890 --> 00:51:09,670
Idiot.
935
00:51:09,910 --> 00:51:12,200
There are a dozen
ways to read that line.
936
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:14,500
Can't you give it some meaning?
Any meaning!
937
00:51:14,530 --> 00:51:15,950
THUS do I love thee!
938
00:51:15,980 --> 00:51:17,280
Thus do "I" love thee.
939
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:18,550
Thus do I LOVE thee.
940
00:51:18,580 --> 00:51:20,930
Thus do I love THEE,
THEE, THEE.
941
00:51:22,580 --> 00:51:25,680
Who knows your smile
has known a perfect thing.
942
00:51:25,710 --> 00:51:28,400
You are a white rose,
wherein love lies in ambush
943
00:51:28,430 --> 00:51:30,180
for its natural prey.
944
00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:33,760
In the garden of my heart,
you are the most...
945
00:51:33,930 --> 00:51:35,680
eh, the most....
946
00:51:37,450 --> 00:51:39,750
fragrant blossom.
947
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,780
As the tender sapling
thirsts for rain,
948
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,900
as the eagle seeks the sky,
949
00:51:48,030 --> 00:51:51,050
as the wave
hurtles toward the shore,
950
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,990
my heart yearns for you.
951
00:51:54,460 --> 00:51:55,820
Good, good.
952
00:51:55,970 --> 00:51:58,740
You know, you're beginning
to have a feel for words.
953
00:51:58,770 --> 00:52:02,010
- Words. I'm sick of words.
- Those are your weapons.
954
00:52:02,050 --> 00:52:03,190
How else do you conquer?
955
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,130
Yes, but when, when?
956
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,190
They're fighting in the north, now.
You know that.
957
00:52:06,230 --> 00:52:07,690
The Regiment will be
called up any day,
958
00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:08,840
and I've never
even kissed her.
959
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,940
Patience, my boy, patience.
960
00:52:11,980 --> 00:52:13,110
I've been patient.
961
00:52:13,140 --> 00:52:16,280
Why, she sees the Compte de Guiche
as often as she does me.
962
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,120
Do you suppose
she's playing with me?
963
00:52:21,260 --> 00:52:22,500
Making a fool of me?
964
00:52:23,850 --> 00:52:24,880
Impossible.
965
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,210
How can you say?
How do you know?
966
00:52:27,210 --> 00:52:31,390
Cyrano, you have her confidence.
You could find out.
967
00:52:39,300 --> 00:52:40,690
Nonsense, I say.
968
00:52:42,260 --> 00:52:43,440
Oh, very well.
969
00:52:43,870 --> 00:52:45,190
I'll scout the terrain.
970
00:52:45,230 --> 00:52:47,200
Listen, Cyrano,
intelligently, discreetly.
971
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:48,160
Yes.
972
00:52:48,190 --> 00:52:49,340
With finesse.
973
00:52:52,010 --> 00:52:55,510
And, uh, what do you think
of Christian after all these weeks?
974
00:52:55,620 --> 00:52:58,030
He is beautiful,
but he's brilliant.
975
00:52:58,070 --> 00:52:59,760
- And I love him.
- Good!
976
00:52:59,870 --> 00:53:01,750
Uh, do you find him intellectual?
977
00:53:01,790 --> 00:53:03,600
- More so than you, even.
- Huh?
978
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,470
- Oh, I didn't mean.
- No, no, no, I am glad.
979
00:53:06,500 --> 00:53:09,290
No man ever so beautifully
said those things.
980
00:53:09,330 --> 00:53:11,900
Those pretty nothings
to everything.
981
00:53:12,310 --> 00:53:15,780
Sometimes, he,. he, he falls
into a reverie.
982
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,110
His inspiration..fails.
983
00:53:20,050 --> 00:53:23,940
But, then all at once,
he will say something absolutely...
984
00:53:23,980 --> 00:53:25,370
Ah!
985
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:26,760
Really?
986
00:53:27,470 --> 00:53:28,910
How like a man!
987
00:53:28,940 --> 00:53:32,220
You think because a man
has a handsome face he must be a fool.
988
00:53:33,330 --> 00:53:34,790
Not necessarily.
989
00:53:34,830 --> 00:53:38,410
Uh, he talks well about, uh,
matters of the heart?
990
00:53:38,450 --> 00:53:42,420
He does not talk.
He rhapsodizes. He dreams.
991
00:53:42,460 --> 00:53:46,360
Only the other night he said to me,
extemporaneously, mind you.
992
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:47,220
Oh, of course.
993
00:53:47,980 --> 00:53:50,660
'Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
994
00:53:50,700 --> 00:53:54,760
'Plucking the flowers
we will keep the plants in bloom.'
995
00:53:55,720 --> 00:53:56,730
Well?
996
00:53:56,770 --> 00:53:58,530
Umm, passable.
997
00:53:58,950 --> 00:54:00,010
He writes well?
998
00:54:00,050 --> 00:54:02,080
Wonderfully, listen:
999
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,510
'Knowing you have in store
more heart to give
1000
00:54:05,550 --> 00:54:08,160
- 'than I to find heart room...'
- The first he has too much heart,
1001
00:54:08,190 --> 00:54:10,400
then too little. Just how much heart
does he need?
1002
00:54:10,470 --> 00:54:11,740
You are teasing.
1003
00:54:11,870 --> 00:54:12,870
You are jealous!
1004
00:54:12,910 --> 00:54:13,690
Jealous?
1005
00:54:13,730 --> 00:54:14,440
Yes.
1006
00:54:14,470 --> 00:54:15,840
Poets are all alike.
1007
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:19,660
Would you dare
criticize these lines?
1008
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:25,100
'Only believe that unto you
my whole heart gives one cry.
1009
00:54:25,540 --> 00:54:29,470
'And writing, writes down
more than you receive.
1010
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,010
'Sending you kisses
through my fingertips.
1011
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,020
'Lady, oh, read my letter
with your lips.'
1012
00:54:39,340 --> 00:54:43,820
Yes, those last lines,
but he overwrites.
1013
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:44,970
Listen to this.
1014
00:54:45,010 --> 00:54:46,000
Do you know
them all by heart?
1015
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,070
Every one.
1016
00:54:47,110 --> 00:54:48,500
Well, I may call
that flattering.
1017
00:54:48,530 --> 00:54:49,310
He is a master.
1018
00:54:49,350 --> 00:54:51,850
- Oh, come..
- Yes, a master.
1019
00:54:51,860 --> 00:54:55,270
Huh, a master,...
if you will.
1020
00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:00,520
And, uh, when do you
bestow the laurel wreath?
1021
00:55:00,540 --> 00:55:05,290
How many prodigies of poetry
must this new Hercules perform?
1022
00:55:05,390 --> 00:55:06,490
I do not know.
1023
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:11,580
My friend, you men own the world
and all that's in it.
1024
00:55:12,020 --> 00:55:17,990
Woman is at best a prize, a property
valued much the same as a horse or a dog,
1025
00:55:18,150 --> 00:55:22,010
unlike the pear and sheen of skin
and soundness of teeth and limb.
1026
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:27,870
Well, if I must be chattel,
then the terms shall be mine,
1027
00:55:27,910 --> 00:55:31,480
and the price according
to my own values.
1028
00:55:31,510 --> 00:55:32,670
There.
1029
00:55:34,070 --> 00:55:35,460
I see.
1030
00:55:37,060 --> 00:55:39,880
Christian tells me
that you meet tonight.
1031
00:55:42,510 --> 00:55:45,210
What would you have him
speak about?
1032
00:55:46,230 --> 00:55:47,910
Oh, nothing,
1033
00:55:48,260 --> 00:55:49,530
and everything.
1034
00:55:49,980 --> 00:55:54,140
I shall say, speak to me
of love in your own words.
1035
00:55:54,550 --> 00:55:56,810
Improvise, rhapsodize.
1036
00:55:57,540 --> 00:55:58,790
Be eloquent.
1037
00:55:59,910 --> 00:56:01,540
But you will not tell him,
will you?
1038
00:56:01,570 --> 00:56:03,270
Ah, perish the thought.
1039
00:56:03,590 --> 00:56:06,370
Madame, Compte de Guiche.
1040
00:56:10,720 --> 00:56:12,820
(Sigh)
Madame.
1041
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:16,880
Monsieur.
1042
00:56:17,770 --> 00:56:18,770
Madame.
1043
00:56:21,570 --> 00:56:24,270
Monsieur.
(Crunch)
1044
00:56:33,430 --> 00:56:35,090
- Christian, quick.
- No.
1045
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,030
There's still time to learn your lines.
No.
1046
00:56:37,070 --> 00:56:39,760
I have some brilliant phrases for you,
brilliant, sensitive...
1047
00:56:39,790 --> 00:56:40,500
No.
1048
00:56:41,150 --> 00:56:42,160
I'll have not more of it.
1049
00:56:42,190 --> 00:56:44,250
Taking all my words, my sentences
all from you,
1050
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,490
- making our love a little comedy.
- Don't you real...
1051
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,480
It was a game at first,
but now she cares.
1052
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:49,390
Huh?
1053
00:56:49,430 --> 00:56:50,750
Thanks to you.
Uh.
1054
00:56:50,790 --> 00:56:53,060
I'm not afraid any longer.
I'll speak for myself, now.
1055
00:56:53,090 --> 00:56:53,720
Oh, undoubtedly.
1056
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,990
I will. You shall see!
1057
00:56:56,500 --> 00:56:59,110
Besides, I know enough
to take a woman in my arms,
1058
00:56:59,150 --> 00:57:00,870
and tonight, I will.
1059
00:57:04,070 --> 00:57:05,420
(knocking on door)
- Christian!
1060
00:57:05,450 --> 00:57:07,210
Thank you, my friend,
and goodbye.
1061
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:09,040
- Christian, I beg of you.
- Leave me!
1062
00:57:09,070 --> 00:57:10,830
- You're making a grave error.
- Go away!
1063
00:57:13,540 --> 00:57:14,540
So be it.
1064
00:57:16,950 --> 00:57:18,600
(door opens)
1065
00:57:20,300 --> 00:57:21,440
Christian.
1066
00:57:21,470 --> 00:57:22,580
Roxane.
1067
00:57:23,190 --> 00:57:25,330
I'm so glad you are early.
1068
00:57:26,430 --> 00:57:28,400
Let us stay out here
in the moonlight.
1069
00:57:29,150 --> 00:57:30,490
It's so pleasant.
1070
00:57:32,780 --> 00:57:33,630
Sit down.
1071
00:57:36,450 --> 00:57:37,720
There, so.
1072
00:57:40,770 --> 00:57:43,780
Now, speak to me.
1073
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:45,470
I love you.
1074
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,330
Yes, speak to me of love.
1075
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,390
I...love you.
1076
00:57:53,430 --> 00:57:55,640
Now, be eloquent.
Be brilliant for me.
1077
00:57:56,300 --> 00:57:57,940
Tonight of all nights.
1078
00:57:58,250 --> 00:58:01,560
I love you....so.
1079
00:58:03,610 --> 00:58:07,630
You have your scene.
Now, improvise, rhapsodize.
1080
00:58:07,660 --> 00:58:11,570
I love you...
very much!
1081
00:58:14,500 --> 00:58:17,600
I ask for cream,
and you give me milk and water.
1082
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:22,490
Tell me firstly,
how you love me.
1083
00:58:22,530 --> 00:58:23,780
Very much!
1084
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:26,440
Is that all you feel?
1085
00:58:26,470 --> 00:58:29,360
Your throat, if only
I might kiss it.
1086
00:58:29,390 --> 00:58:30,170
Christian!
1087
00:58:30,210 --> 00:58:31,520
But, Roxane, I love you.
1088
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:32,860
Again.
1089
00:58:32,890 --> 00:58:34,450
No, not again.
I do not love you.
1090
00:58:37,490 --> 00:58:38,540
That is better.
1091
00:58:39,380 --> 00:58:42,870
I...I adore you!
1092
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:43,870
Oh!
1093
00:58:44,570 --> 00:58:46,070
I know I grow absurd.
1094
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:48,870
And that distresses me as much
as if you had grown ugly!
1095
00:58:51,020 --> 00:58:54,910
Please. Gather your dreams
together into words.
1096
00:58:54,950 --> 00:58:57,830
I...um, I...
1097
00:58:57,870 --> 00:59:00,280
I know. You love me!
Good night!
1098
00:59:00,310 --> 00:59:01,440
Oh, but wait, please!
1099
00:59:01,470 --> 00:59:02,530
I was going to say...
1100
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:04,510
That you adore me.
Yes, I know that, too.
1101
00:59:04,540 --> 00:59:06,720
-No, go away.
- I....
1102
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,290
(door slams shut)
1103
00:59:25,170 --> 00:59:28,330
(Cyrano claps his hands)
1104
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:29,870
A great success.
1105
00:59:30,940 --> 00:59:31,720
Help me.
1106
00:59:31,750 --> 00:59:33,620
Not I.
Speak for yourself, my friend.
1107
00:59:33,660 --> 00:59:35,220
Why I...I can't.
1108
00:59:35,250 --> 00:59:38,040
Well, at least you know enough
to take a woman in your arms.
1109
00:59:38,070 --> 00:59:39,680
Oh, Cyrano, please!
1110
00:59:39,790 --> 00:59:41,610
What, and make your love
a little comedy.
1111
00:59:41,650 --> 00:59:44,060
Cyrano, I cannot live
unless I win her back, now.
1112
00:59:44,100 --> 00:59:44,610
This moment!
1113
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,890
This moment. How the devil
am I to teach you now, this mo...
1114
00:59:47,980 --> 00:59:48,940
(Christian)
Her window.
1115
00:59:49,510 --> 00:59:51,690
- Help me, Cyrano, help me.
- Shhhh.
1116
00:59:53,290 --> 00:59:54,800
(Cyrano)
It does seem fairly dark.
1117
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:55,780
(Christian)
Well? Well?
1118
00:59:57,490 --> 00:59:59,190
(Cyrano)
It is more than
you deserve.
1119
01:00:00,550 --> 01:00:02,010
(Cyrano)
I must try out what
can be done.
1120
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:03,040
(Cyrano)
Stand over there.
1121
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,500
(Cyrano)
Idiot, here, before the balcony.
I'll whisper you what to say.
1122
01:00:09,540 --> 01:00:11,380
- She'll hear..
- Shhhh. Call her.
1123
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:13,690
(Christian)
Roxane.
1124
01:00:14,950 --> 01:00:17,330
(Christian louder)
Roxane.
1125
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,220
(balcony window opens)
1126
01:00:21,690 --> 01:00:22,760
Who's calling?
1127
01:00:23,430 --> 01:00:24,240
Christian.
1128
01:00:24,570 --> 01:00:25,670
You again.
1129
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:27,420
I...had to tell you.
1130
01:00:27,710 --> 01:00:29,340
No. Go away.
You tell me nothing.
1131
01:00:29,370 --> 01:00:30,390
Please.
1132
01:00:30,430 --> 01:00:32,240
You do not
love me anymore.
1133
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:34,810
(Christian copies Cyrano)
No, not anymore.
1134
01:00:35,530 --> 01:00:37,340
I love you evermore,
1135
01:00:38,150 --> 01:00:40,050
and evermore and more.
1136
01:00:41,190 --> 01:00:42,640
Oh, a little better.
1137
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,160
Love grows and struggles
like an angry child.
1138
01:00:48,710 --> 01:00:50,620
Breaking my heart.
1139
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,070
His cradle...
1140
01:00:53,110 --> 01:00:54,630
Better still.
1141
01:00:55,230 --> 01:00:57,390
But such a babe is dangerous.
1142
01:00:57,910 --> 01:01:00,140
Why not have
smothered it newborn?
1143
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:03,290
And so I do.
1144
01:01:03,650 --> 01:01:05,290
And yet he lives.
1145
01:01:06,340 --> 01:01:08,910
I found as you sha...
you shall find
1146
01:01:10,250 --> 01:01:14,400
this newborn babe...
and infant Hercules!
1147
01:01:14,900 --> 01:01:15,430
Good.
1148
01:01:15,460 --> 01:01:16,820
Strong enough at birth
1149
01:01:17,740 --> 01:01:19,600
to strangle
those two serpents
1150
01:01:20,010 --> 01:01:20,550
doubt and
1151
01:01:20,590 --> 01:01:21,090
<i>What?</i>
1152
01:01:21,250 --> 01:01:22,600
pride!
1153
01:01:23,410 --> 01:01:24,440
Why, very good.
1154
01:01:25,330 --> 01:01:27,880
Only, tell me why
you speak so haltingly.
1155
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,580
Has your imagination
gone....lame?
1156
01:01:33,260 --> 01:01:35,130
(Cyrano)
This grows too difficult.
1157
01:01:35,530 --> 01:01:38,320
Your words tonight
hesitate, why?
1158
01:01:38,630 --> 01:01:42,970
Through the warm summer gloom,
they grope in darkness
1159
01:01:43,170 --> 01:01:44,690
toward the light of you.
1160
01:01:46,010 --> 01:01:47,860
My words are
heavy with honey,
1161
01:01:47,900 --> 01:01:49,360
like returning bees.
1162
01:01:50,190 --> 01:01:52,310
Yet they must fly so high.
1163
01:01:52,530 --> 01:01:54,140
Come nearer then.
Stand you on the bench.
1164
01:01:54,170 --> 01:01:55,000
No.
1165
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:56,190
Then I'll come down.
1166
01:01:56,230 --> 01:01:57,110
NO!
1167
01:01:57,570 --> 01:01:59,380
And why so great a no?
1168
01:02:00,490 --> 01:02:02,920
Let me enjoy the one
moment I ever...
1169
01:02:03,710 --> 01:02:07,110
My one chance
to speak to you...unseen.
1170
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:08,290
Unseen?
1171
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:09,740
Yes. Yes.
1172
01:02:10,070 --> 01:02:12,380
Night making all things
dimly beautiful
1173
01:02:12,410 --> 01:02:13,770
one veil over us both.
1174
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,040
You need no eyes
to hear my heart.
1175
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:20,410
Oh, tonight, let it seem as if
I speak for the first time.
1176
01:02:21,150 --> 01:02:22,110
For the first time?
1177
01:02:22,140 --> 01:02:23,000
Yes.
1178
01:02:23,940 --> 01:02:25,780
Your voice, even,
is not the same.
1179
01:02:25,810 --> 01:02:26,990
How should it be.
1180
01:02:27,030 --> 01:02:28,450
I have another
voice tonight.
1181
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:31,250
My own, myself,... daring!
1182
01:02:31,610 --> 01:02:32,610
Why daring?
1183
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,600
Because, what am I, what is any man
would he dare ask for you?
1184
01:02:36,630 --> 01:02:40,780
Therefore my heart has hidden behind
poetic words and tinsel phrases.
1185
01:02:41,260 --> 01:02:43,640
But are they not sweet,
those pretty phrases?
1186
01:02:43,670 --> 01:02:45,630
Not enough sweet
for you and me tonight.
1187
01:02:47,530 --> 01:02:49,240
You never spoke
to me like this.
1188
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,510
I tell you, there comes
one moment, once,
1189
01:02:51,540 --> 01:02:53,800
and heaven help those
who pass that moment by,
1190
01:02:53,830 --> 01:02:56,110
when beauty stands
looking into the soul
1191
01:02:56,150 --> 01:03:01,810
with grave, sweet eyes,
that sicken at pretty words.
1192
01:03:02,650 --> 01:03:06,260
Yes...that is love.
1193
01:03:06,290 --> 01:03:07,010
Love.
1194
01:03:07,050 --> 01:03:09,260
A love beyond breath,
beyond reason,
1195
01:03:09,290 --> 01:03:11,590
beyond love's own
power of loving.
1196
01:03:11,630 --> 01:03:14,200
Your name is like a golden bell
hung in my heart,
1197
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:18,450
and when I think of you I tremble,
and the bell swings and rings,
1198
01:03:18,610 --> 01:03:28,580
Roxane! Roxane!
Along my veins...Roxane.
1199
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,970
Yes...that is love.
1200
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,770
(Cyrano)
Yes...that is love.
1201
01:03:36,090 --> 01:03:38,920
That wind of terrible
and jealous beauty,
1202
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:44,200
that dark fire,
that soaring, blinding music.
1203
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,690
Yet, you may take my happiness
to make you happier
1204
01:03:47,730 --> 01:03:49,410
even though you
never know I gave it to you.
1205
01:03:49,940 --> 01:03:55,700
Only let me hear, sometimes, all alone,
the distant laughter of your joy.
1206
01:03:56,740 --> 01:03:58,470
Do you begin
to understand a little?
1207
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,200
Can you feel my soul there
in the darkness breathe on you?
1208
01:04:03,230 --> 01:04:06,630
Oh, only tonight,
now I dare say these things.
1209
01:04:06,790 --> 01:04:09,400
I to you, and you hear them.
1210
01:04:10,030 --> 01:04:12,650
It is my voice, mine, my own
that makes you tremble
1211
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,390
there in the green gloom,
above me, for you do tremble
1212
01:04:15,430 --> 01:04:18,110
as a blossom among the leaves,
you tremble, and I can feel
1213
01:04:18,140 --> 01:04:19,670
all the way down along
this jasmine branch
1214
01:04:19,710 --> 01:04:23,700
whether you will unhold
the passion of you trembling.
1215
01:04:24,340 --> 01:04:25,960
Yes, I do tremble.
1216
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,880
And I weep, and I love you,
and I am yours,
1217
01:04:29,910 --> 01:04:31,720
and you have made me thus.
1218
01:04:36,710 --> 01:04:38,250
I have done this to you.
1219
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,380
I myself.
1220
01:04:44,970 --> 01:04:47,240
Only let me ask
one thing more.
1221
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:48,900
I want a kiss!
1222
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:52,080
You ask me for...
1223
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:53,060
I...yes.
1224
01:04:53,100 --> 01:04:54,260
That is to say...
1225
01:04:54,780 --> 01:04:55,770
I mean...
1226
01:04:56,140 --> 01:04:57,450
You've gone too far.
1227
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,370
If she's willing, why
not make the most of it?
1228
01:04:59,410 --> 01:05:04,270
I, I ask.
I know I ask too much.
1229
01:05:05,150 --> 01:05:06,420
Only one?
1230
01:05:07,550 --> 01:05:08,630
Is that all?
1231
01:05:09,150 --> 01:05:12,210
All?
How much more than all?
1232
01:05:12,250 --> 01:05:16,030
I know I startle you,
I...I ask, I ask you to refuse.
1233
01:05:16,070 --> 01:05:17,200
Why? Why? Why?
1234
01:05:17,230 --> 01:05:18,350
Christian, be quiet.
1235
01:05:18,390 --> 01:05:19,430
What is that your say?
1236
01:05:19,470 --> 01:05:21,810
I am angry with myself,
because I know I go too far
1237
01:05:21,850 --> 01:05:26,270
and so I say to myself,
CHRISTIAN, BE QUIET!
1238
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:28,300
Watch it, someone comes.
1239
01:05:36,390 --> 01:05:39,180
Well, sir, I am looking
for the house of madame Roxane Robin.
1240
01:05:39,220 --> 01:05:43,450
This is not the house. That way.
To the right. Keep to the right.
1241
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:44,330
I thank you sir.
1242
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,880
I shall say my beads for you
to the very last bead.
1243
01:05:49,340 --> 01:05:50,680
Win me that kiss?
1244
01:05:51,370 --> 01:05:52,070
No!
1245
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:53,780
Sooner or later.
1246
01:05:59,170 --> 01:06:00,510
So that is true.
1247
01:06:01,460 --> 01:06:07,540
Sooner or later must be so, because,
she is young, and you are handsome.
1248
01:06:09,170 --> 01:06:15,240
Since it must be, I'd rather be
myself the cause, if it must be.
1249
01:06:16,990 --> 01:06:19,620
(balcony window opens)
1250
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:24,660
Are you still there?
1251
01:06:24,690 --> 01:06:25,470
(Cyrano)
Yes.
1252
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:28,740
We were speaking of...
1253
01:06:30,090 --> 01:06:32,450
A kiss.
- A kiss.
1254
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,340
And what is a kiss
when all is done?
1255
01:06:34,930 --> 01:06:37,080
A vow taken before
the shrine of memory.
1256
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,650
A rosy dot
over the "i" of loving.
1257
01:06:39,790 --> 01:06:42,950
- A secret whisper
to listen if the past.
1258
01:06:42,980 --> 01:06:43,650
Shhh.
1259
01:06:43,690 --> 01:06:46,720
A moment free to mortal
with a rush of wing from Ceden.
1260
01:06:46,750 --> 01:06:48,220
A sacrament of blossoms.
1261
01:06:48,260 --> 01:06:53,250
A new song sung by two hearts
to an old, simple tune.
1262
01:06:53,290 --> 01:06:54,430
Hush.
1263
01:06:54,460 --> 01:06:56,050
Why? What shame?
1264
01:06:58,010 --> 01:07:01,310
No.
No shame.
1265
01:07:01,610 --> 01:07:02,770
Then come.
1266
01:07:03,550 --> 01:07:05,680
Gather your sacred blossoms.
1267
01:07:07,250 --> 01:07:09,230
Your moment made immortal.
1268
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:09,860
Climb!
1269
01:07:10,660 --> 01:07:12,300
- But, climb?
- Many more!
1270
01:07:22,410 --> 01:07:23,760
Roxane.
1271
01:07:33,870 --> 01:07:34,690
(sigh)
1272
01:07:36,090 --> 01:07:39,770
Ah, Roxane.
I have won what I have wanted.
1273
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:45,410
A feast of love,
and I am faint with hunger.
1274
01:07:48,110 --> 01:07:51,040
Yet, I have something here
that is mine now,...
1275
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,380
and was not mine before.
1276
01:07:54,220 --> 01:07:56,790
I spoke the words
that won her.
1277
01:07:57,890 --> 01:08:05,890
She kisses my words.
My words...upon his lips.
1278
01:08:07,230 --> 01:08:08,650
(gate opens)
1279
01:08:13,250 --> 01:08:14,670
What, dear Father,
lost your way again?
1280
01:08:14,710 --> 01:08:16,270
But, she lives here,
Madame Robin.
1281
01:08:16,300 --> 01:08:17,830
Oh, I thought
you said, Rolen?
1282
01:08:17,860 --> 01:08:19,850
No, r..o..b..i..n, Robin.
1283
01:08:19,890 --> 01:08:21,030
Oh, Robin, I see.
1284
01:08:21,070 --> 01:08:23,090
I'm too old
to chase wild geese
1285
01:08:23,130 --> 01:08:25,080
- my feet...
- Oh, what a shame,
1286
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,920
(knocking on door)
however, I'm sure there's someone at home.
1287
01:08:29,330 --> 01:08:30,120
(door opens)
1288
01:08:30,150 --> 01:08:30,860
What is it?
1289
01:08:30,890 --> 01:08:34,570
Yeah, I'm looking for
the young lady, Madam Rolen
1290
01:08:34,610 --> 01:08:35,840
Rolen?
1291
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:37,080
Robin!
1292
01:08:37,950 --> 01:08:40,050
Madame!
A letter for you.
1293
01:08:40,590 --> 01:08:42,070
Yes, yes, I heard.
1294
01:08:42,970 --> 01:08:43,650
Cyrano.
1295
01:08:43,690 --> 01:08:46,080
Uh, passing by cousin,
I saw this light.
1296
01:08:46,700 --> 01:08:50,330
Uh, some matter
profitable to the soul.
1297
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:52,550
A very noble lord gave it to me.
1298
01:08:52,750 --> 01:08:53,640
(Christian)
What is it?
1299
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,100
<i>My regiment has been
ordered to the front. </i>
1300
01:08:57,130 --> 01:08:59,490
<i>I cannot allow you
to delay any longer.</i>
1301
01:08:59,530 --> 01:09:01,820
<i>This simple old monk,
who knows nothing,</i>
1302
01:09:01,850 --> 01:09:04,190
<i>will marry us tonight.
My love, Antoine de Guiche.</i>
1303
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,110
(Roxane changes everything)
1304
01:09:07,150 --> 01:09:08,880
Father, this letter
concerns you.
1305
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,930
"Madame, the Cardinal
will have his way,
1306
01:09:13,970 --> 01:09:15,530
"although against your will.
1307
01:09:15,710 --> 01:09:18,150
"That is why I am
sending this to you,
1308
01:09:18,180 --> 01:09:20,470
"by a most holy man.
1309
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,160
"Intelligent, discreet.
1310
01:09:23,580 --> 01:09:26,660
"You will communicate
to him our order to perform
1311
01:09:26,900 --> 01:09:31,160
"here and at once
the rite of holy matrimony.
1312
01:09:32,570 --> 01:09:35,910
"You and Christian will be
married privately in your house.
1313
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,760
"Be resigned to the
Cardinal's command,
1314
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:41,930
"who sends herewith
his blessings.
1315
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,060
"Your very humble,
and etcetera..."
1316
01:09:44,940 --> 01:09:46,750
Oh, this is terrible.
1317
01:09:48,220 --> 01:09:49,850
Oh, you're to be
the, uh...
1318
01:09:49,890 --> 01:09:51,490
I am to be the bridegroom.
1319
01:09:53,950 --> 01:09:56,230
Uh, look here.
A postscript.
1320
01:09:56,780 --> 01:10:02,320
"Give to the monastery,
in my name 120 pieces of gold."
1321
01:10:02,350 --> 01:10:04,070
One hundred and twenty...
1322
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,530
Oh, a worthy lord.
A very worthy lord.
1323
01:10:09,470 --> 01:10:12,030
Daughter, resign yourself.
1324
01:10:12,070 --> 01:10:14,080
I am resigned.
1325
01:10:22,350 --> 01:10:24,500
The Guiche is coming, too.
Don't let him enter.
1326
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:25,730
Not let him enter?
1327
01:10:25,770 --> 01:10:27,790
Until we're married, please.
1328
01:10:28,610 --> 01:10:30,340
(door slams shut)
1329
01:10:44,330 --> 01:10:45,250
(Count)
What is that?
1330
01:10:45,340 --> 01:10:46,330
(Cyrano)
Me?
1331
01:10:46,370 --> 01:10:48,360
- Why, where did you come from?
- The moon.
1332
01:10:48,390 --> 01:10:49,330
- You...
- From the moon.
1333
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:50,690
I have just returned
from the moon.
1334
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:52,420
- The fellow's mad!
-Like a bomb, I tell you,
1335
01:10:52,460 --> 01:10:54,130
- I fell from the moon!
- Your feet must...
1336
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:55,450
- I say THE MOON!
1337
01:10:55,480 --> 01:10:57,580
- Very well, if you say so.
- Thank you.
1338
01:10:57,610 --> 01:10:58,610
- Raving mad.
1339
01:11:00,660 --> 01:11:02,850
- Where am I?
- My dear sir!
1340
01:11:02,890 --> 01:11:04,080
- What place is this?
What country?
1341
01:11:04,110 --> 01:11:06,170
- Please, let me pass.
- This face, good heavens!
1342
01:11:06,210 --> 01:11:08,710
Maul, a robber.
Where am I?
1343
01:11:08,750 --> 01:11:12,830
- A lady is waiting for me.
- Oh, this is Paris, huh?
1344
01:11:12,870 --> 01:11:13,620
You fool!
1345
01:11:13,650 --> 01:11:14,800
Dear old Paris.
1346
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,750
Excuse my appearance.
I arrived by the last thunderbolt.
1347
01:11:17,790 --> 01:11:19,970
A trifled singed
as I passed through the ether.
1348
01:11:20,470 --> 01:11:21,320
Monsieur!
1349
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:22,080
Sir?
1350
01:11:22,130 --> 01:11:23,750
That will do, now. I wish...
1351
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,600
I know, you wish to look for
my own list of nature for moons
1352
01:11:25,630 --> 01:11:27,820
and happiness and character
of it's surface, if any.
1353
01:11:27,850 --> 01:11:29,060
I desire no such thing, I...
1354
01:11:29,100 --> 01:11:30,060
Of course not.
1355
01:11:32,940 --> 01:11:34,330
You wish to know
by what mysterious
1356
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:35,570
means I reached the moon.
1357
01:11:35,610 --> 01:11:37,870
Well, a very secret affair of state,
1358
01:11:37,900 --> 01:11:41,770
but confidentially
a new invention of my own.
1359
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:43,190
Drunk, two ways.
Well a man..
1360
01:11:43,230 --> 01:11:46,050
Oh, no. In truth I have
my choice of several inventions.
1361
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:46,600
Uh?
1362
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:50,850
Yes, several ways
to violate the virgin sky.
1363
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:52,210
Several?
1364
01:11:52,250 --> 01:11:53,510
Several.
1365
01:11:53,540 --> 01:11:57,520
As, for instance, smoke
having a natural tendency to rise,
1366
01:11:57,550 --> 01:12:02,050
blow in a globe
enough to raise me.
1367
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:03,300
Yes, that makes one.
1368
01:12:03,330 --> 01:12:06,780
Again, I might construct a rocket
in the shape of a HUGE locust
1369
01:12:06,820 --> 01:12:10,810
driven by impulses up within
a saltpeter from the rear
1370
01:12:10,850 --> 01:12:14,050
and thus speed upwards,
like, thus!
1371
01:12:14,260 --> 01:12:15,260
Yes, another?
1372
01:12:15,290 --> 01:12:18,950
Finally, seated on an iron plate,
hurl a magnet into the air.
1373
01:12:18,980 --> 01:12:21,810
The iron follows.
I catch the magnet.
1374
01:12:21,850 --> 01:12:25,330
Throw it again, and
so proceed indefinitely.
1375
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,460
Excellent, and
which did you adopt?
1376
01:12:31,450 --> 01:12:32,370
Why none of them.
1377
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:34,350
Yet another.
1378
01:12:34,390 --> 01:12:35,740
Which was...?
1379
01:12:46,810 --> 01:12:47,500
Guess.
1380
01:12:47,860 --> 01:12:49,370
Ahhh, I can't!
1381
01:12:50,090 --> 01:12:51,100
Try.
1382
01:12:52,340 --> 01:12:53,980
Interesting idiot, this.
1383
01:13:05,350 --> 01:13:06,540
Have you guessed it yet?
1384
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:07,960
Why, no, what is it?
1385
01:13:13,780 --> 01:13:15,870
Alas, you will never know,
but no matter.
1386
01:13:15,910 --> 01:13:18,470
You are free and
they are bound in wedlock.
1387
01:13:18,510 --> 01:13:21,010
I drunk that voice,
and that nose, Cyrano!
1388
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:23,710
Cyrano. This very moment
they have exchanged vows.
1389
01:13:23,750 --> 01:13:24,460
Who?
1390
01:13:29,820 --> 01:13:31,530
My sincere compliments.
1391
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,900
You, also, my traveler in space.
1392
01:13:34,940 --> 01:13:37,800
My Lord, the heads of Capathieu
and Joyce have joined together.
1393
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:38,750
Quite so!
1394
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:44,160
Madame, kindly bid
your... husband farewell.
1395
01:13:44,190 --> 01:13:46,670
Your regiment leaves tonight, sir.
Report at once!
1396
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:49,320
But, the Cadets are not called.
1397
01:13:49,350 --> 01:13:51,850
They are, indeed, and
under my command.
1398
01:13:52,710 --> 01:13:55,080
Out there we may
have an accounting.
1399
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:58,130
Somehow, that news
fails to disquiet me.
1400
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,190
Here are the orders.
Baron, deliver this.
1401
01:14:02,500 --> 01:14:03,650
Christian!
1402
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,660
The bridal night
is not so near.
1403
01:14:10,090 --> 01:14:13,400
Somehow that news
fails to disquiet me.
1404
01:14:17,710 --> 01:14:19,340
Baron, you have your orders.
1405
01:14:36,270 --> 01:14:37,530
Farewell, Roxane.
1406
01:14:38,290 --> 01:14:40,490
Take care of him, for me.
Promise me never to let him
1407
01:14:40,530 --> 01:14:41,400
do anything dangerous.
1408
01:14:41,430 --> 01:14:42,890
I will do my best.
I cannot promise.
1409
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:44,970
I thought you brave always.
Make him be careful.
1410
01:14:45,010 --> 01:14:46,070
Yes, yes, I'll try.
1411
01:14:46,110 --> 01:14:47,840
Be sure to keep him
warm and dry!
1412
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:49,150
Yes, if possible.
1413
01:14:49,190 --> 01:14:51,820
Have him write to me
every single day!
1414
01:14:51,860 --> 01:14:54,090
That, I promise you.
1415
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,970
(the war with Spain)
1416
01:15:40,820 --> 01:15:41,540
Halt!
1417
01:16:03,370 --> 01:16:03,920
Uh!
1418
01:16:13,930 --> 01:16:18,590
(Madame Baroness de Neuvillette,
Rue Marais No. 12, Paris)
1419
01:16:46,610 --> 01:16:48,170
The situation
is simple, gentlemen.
1420
01:16:48,420 --> 01:16:53,340
We have besieged Arras.
The Prince of Spain has besieged us.
1421
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,960
Consequently, we
are surrounded.
1422
01:16:56,050 --> 01:16:58,920
- A fine war. Where
the besiegers are besieged
1423
01:16:58,950 --> 01:17:00,020
and starve to death.
1424
01:17:00,060 --> 01:17:01,990
Yes, but the Marshal has
devised a brilliant plan
1425
01:17:02,030 --> 01:17:03,480
for bringing in food
this very night.
1426
01:17:03,510 --> 01:17:04,460
Now, see here.
1427
01:17:04,500 --> 01:17:06,240
Spare us the details, Colonel.
1428
01:17:06,270 --> 01:17:08,820
Merely inform us
when the food arrives.
1429
01:17:08,860 --> 01:17:11,380
True, we are hungry.
But why blame me?
1430
01:17:11,700 --> 01:17:13,320
I'm only your Colonel.
1431
01:17:14,700 --> 01:17:16,910
Oh, yes, I know
you disprove of me.
1432
01:17:17,020 --> 01:17:18,940
Call me courtier, politician.
1433
01:17:19,430 --> 01:17:22,080
Well, I can afford you little hates.
1434
01:17:22,110 --> 01:17:24,730
My conduct under fire
is well known.
1435
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,170
It was only yesterday
I repelled a Spanish attack.
1436
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,070
Pouring my men down
like an avalanche.
1437
01:17:29,250 --> 01:17:30,710
I, myself lead the charge.
1438
01:17:30,900 --> 01:17:33,330
- And your white scarf?
(through a cannon barrel)
1439
01:17:33,370 --> 01:17:34,130
Cyrano!
1440
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:39,140
And your white scarf?
1441
01:17:39,150 --> 01:17:40,480
Eh, you heard that episode?
1442
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:44,110
Yes, I was so far in advance
I was in danger of being captured.
1443
01:17:44,180 --> 01:17:46,570
But I thought quickly,
took off and flung away
1444
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,290
the scarf that marked
my military rank.
1445
01:17:48,420 --> 01:17:51,150
And so being inconspicuous
escaped among my own force,
1446
01:17:51,410 --> 01:17:54,250
rallied them, returned,
and won the day.
1447
01:17:54,290 --> 01:17:55,500
What do you say to that?
1448
01:17:55,540 --> 01:17:58,550
Still, enough that is not likely
to resign the privilege of being a target.
1449
01:17:58,580 --> 01:18:01,690
How pleasant for you
that you are denied that privilege.
1450
01:18:01,730 --> 01:18:03,650
Pleasant?
Lend me your scarf.
1451
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:05,570
With your permission I shall
lead the first charge tonight
1452
01:18:05,610 --> 01:18:06,890
wearing it over my shoulder.
1453
01:18:06,930 --> 01:18:07,720
What bluster.
1454
01:18:07,750 --> 01:18:09,630
You're safe making that offer,
and you know it.
1455
01:18:09,670 --> 01:18:12,620
My scarf lies on the
river bank between the lines.
1456
01:18:12,650 --> 01:18:15,560
A spot swept by artillery.
Impossible to reach alive.
1457
01:18:15,700 --> 01:18:16,700
Yes.
1458
01:18:16,730 --> 01:18:20,500
(displays the Colonel's scarf)
1459
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:22,410
Here.
1460
01:18:22,580 --> 01:18:24,590
(laughter)
1461
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:26,500
Thank you.
1462
01:18:28,180 --> 01:18:31,000
This bit of white is
what I need to make a signal.
1463
01:18:31,820 --> 01:18:33,360
I was hesitating.
1464
01:18:33,940 --> 01:18:35,720
You have decided me.
1465
01:18:41,370 --> 01:18:43,010
- Stand or I'll fire!
- Hold you fire.
1466
01:18:43,050 --> 01:18:44,650
There's a man down
there running away.
1467
01:18:44,690 --> 01:18:46,700
Yes, a Spaniard.
1468
01:18:47,440 --> 01:18:50,310
But very useful as a spy
to both sides.
1469
01:18:51,270 --> 01:18:52,480
As I was about
to tell you.
1470
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,100
The Marshal has withdrawn
more than half our forces here.
1471
01:18:55,140 --> 01:18:57,190
Fortunately, the Spaniards
do not know that.
1472
01:18:57,230 --> 01:19:00,470
Oh, yes, they do now,
and they will attack tonight.
1473
01:19:00,510 --> 01:19:02,240
At this point.
1474
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:04,520
Your revenge, eh?
1475
01:19:04,550 --> 01:19:06,670
I make not great
pretense in loving you.
1476
01:19:06,770 --> 01:19:10,170
But since you gentlemen
esteem yourselves invincible,
1477
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,710
the bravest of the brave,
and all that.
1478
01:19:12,750 --> 01:19:14,120
Why need we be personal.
1479
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,710
The Marshal needs
a diversion, and I serve him
1480
01:19:16,740 --> 01:19:19,040
in choosing as I chose.
1481
01:19:19,210 --> 01:19:21,440
As you can see, Captain,
the great thing is to gain time.
1482
01:19:21,470 --> 01:19:23,070
To hold until the Marshal returns.
1483
01:19:23,180 --> 01:19:24,980
- And to gain time?
1484
01:19:25,490 --> 01:19:31,370
You will all be so kind
as to lay down your lives.
1485
01:19:39,610 --> 01:19:40,700
Christian?
1486
01:19:40,740 --> 01:19:41,400
Yes.
1487
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:46,130
Roxane?
1488
01:19:46,940 --> 01:19:49,260
I should like to say
farewell to her
1489
01:19:49,290 --> 01:19:51,580
with my whole
heart for her to keep.
1490
01:19:53,630 --> 01:19:55,610
I have taken the liberty of...
1491
01:19:58,580 --> 01:20:03,760
(the first letter
Christian is aware of)
1492
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:05,110
But, wait.
1493
01:20:07,270 --> 01:20:08,180
This little spot.
1494
01:20:08,620 --> 01:20:09,360
Spot?
1495
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:10,100
Yes.
1496
01:20:10,470 --> 01:20:11,550
A tear.
1497
01:20:13,500 --> 01:20:14,210
Is nothing.
1498
01:20:14,250 --> 01:20:16,860
A poet while he writes
is like a lover in his lady's arms,
1499
01:20:16,890 --> 01:20:19,060
believing his imagination,
everything seems real.
1500
01:20:19,090 --> 01:20:20,710
There's half the charm
of writing.
1501
01:20:21,230 --> 01:20:24,000
Now, I made this letter
so pathetic, that,
1502
01:20:24,030 --> 01:20:27,290
while I was writing it,
I wept.
1503
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:28,110
You wept?
1504
01:20:28,650 --> 01:20:31,590
Why, yes, because
it is a little thing to die,
1505
01:20:32,500 --> 01:20:36,710
but not to see her,...
that is terrible.
1506
01:20:37,700 --> 01:20:41,890
I shall never...,
you will never...
1507
01:20:42,480 --> 01:20:43,690
Give me that.
1508
01:20:45,190 --> 01:20:48,500
- Halt. Who goes there.
- On the service of the King.
1509
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:01,330
- The King!
- Fall in...
1510
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:11,620
Good evening.
1511
01:21:11,650 --> 01:21:13,540
On the King's service, you?
1512
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:25,850
- Gentlemen,...
- What are you doing here?
1513
01:21:25,890 --> 01:21:28,300
- We heard rumors at home
you were hungry,
1514
01:21:28,340 --> 01:21:29,810
- so we came prepared.
1515
01:21:29,850 --> 01:21:34,500
The Spaniards adored the fare,
but they missed the fowl!
1516
01:21:34,530 --> 01:21:37,560
(soldiers clamor for food)
1517
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:47,020
But why did you come here
into this, this danger?
1518
01:21:47,060 --> 01:21:49,420
They said in Paris
there was no fighting.
1519
01:21:50,450 --> 01:21:53,620
Besides, it was your own fault.
1520
01:22:01,410 --> 01:22:03,770
Think of the
letters you have written me.
1521
01:22:04,050 --> 01:22:06,510
How many times!
Every day!
1522
01:22:06,550 --> 01:22:07,680
Every day?
1523
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:08,820
Of course.
1524
01:22:08,980 --> 01:22:11,560
And each one
more wonderful than the last.
1525
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:14,820
All this, for a few absurd love letters.
1526
01:22:14,860 --> 01:22:18,050
Hush. Absurd?
Your letters...no, never.
1527
01:22:19,030 --> 01:22:22,730
Every one was like hearing your voice
that night in the dark. Remember?
1528
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:26,590
Like your arms around me.
I read them over and over.
1529
01:22:26,630 --> 01:22:30,420
Every page was like
a petal fallen from you soul.
1530
01:22:30,460 --> 01:22:33,350
Like the light
and the fire of a great love.
1531
01:22:33,390 --> 01:22:36,020
- Sweet and strong and true.
- Sweet.
1532
01:22:36,180 --> 01:22:37,280
Strong.
1533
01:22:37,590 --> 01:22:38,490
True?
1534
01:22:41,570 --> 01:22:43,090
Oh, my Christian.
1535
01:22:43,690 --> 01:22:46,420
I came here to ask forgiveness.
1536
01:22:47,660 --> 01:22:49,380
It is time to be forgiven.
1537
01:22:49,860 --> 01:22:51,950
Now, when we
may die so soon.
1538
01:22:53,780 --> 01:22:55,380
Forgive me for being
light and vain
1539
01:22:55,410 --> 01:22:57,570
and loving you only
because you were handsome.
1540
01:22:57,600 --> 01:22:59,230
- For now...
- Now?
1541
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:01,940
I love you for yourself.
1542
01:23:02,350 --> 01:23:04,090
For what you are.
1543
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:05,340
Roxane.
1544
01:23:05,910 --> 01:23:09,000
How you must have suffered.
For you saw how frivolous I was.
1545
01:23:09,030 --> 01:23:11,300
And to be loved
for the mere costume,
1546
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,090
for the poor, casual
body you went about in.
1547
01:23:14,750 --> 01:23:17,620
To a soul like yours,
that must have been torture.
1548
01:23:17,650 --> 01:23:18,390
No.
1549
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:23,140
I understand.
1550
01:23:23,790 --> 01:23:25,930
You cannot perfectly
believe in me,
1551
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:27,530
a...a love like this...
1552
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:29,090
I want no love like this.
1553
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,020
I want love only for...
1554
01:23:31,050 --> 01:23:33,090
Only for what every
woman sees in you.
1555
01:23:33,700 --> 01:23:35,030
I can to better than that.
1556
01:23:35,060 --> 01:23:37,240
No, it...it was best before.
1557
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,090
You do not
altogether know me.
1558
01:23:40,540 --> 01:23:42,260
I was a child.
1559
01:23:42,350 --> 01:23:43,650
I'm a woman now.
1560
01:23:44,250 --> 01:23:46,720
- If...if you were less handsome,
- No.
1561
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:50,130
unattractive, ugly even,
I should love you, still.
1562
01:23:50,770 --> 01:23:51,900
Do you mean that?
1563
01:23:52,510 --> 01:23:53,750
I do mean that.
1564
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:55,020
Ugly?
1565
01:23:55,100 --> 01:23:56,200
Even then.
1566
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:58,050
Now, are you happy?
1567
01:24:03,470 --> 01:24:04,650
Yes.
1568
01:24:04,690 --> 01:24:05,500
What is it?
1569
01:24:06,190 --> 01:24:08,690
Nothing, only, Cyrano...
1570
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:10,830
Cyrano.
1571
01:24:12,050 --> 01:24:14,090
he has something
to tell you.
1572
01:24:16,180 --> 01:24:17,200
Where are you going?
1573
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:20,690
I...will...return...in a moment.
1574
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:30,050
Cyrano.
1575
01:24:30,650 --> 01:24:32,480
Your wife, sir,
she goes with me?
1576
01:24:32,510 --> 01:24:33,340
No, sir, she remains.
1577
01:24:33,380 --> 01:24:34,670
There is still time
for her to escape.
1578
01:24:34,710 --> 01:24:35,640
She stays!
1579
01:24:36,030 --> 01:24:36,790
Very well.
1580
01:24:36,820 --> 01:24:38,950
Someone give me a musket.
I stay here also.
1581
01:24:39,420 --> 01:24:40,640
Sir, you show courage.
1582
01:24:40,670 --> 01:24:42,890
What, shall I run away,
and leave a woman?
1583
01:24:43,450 --> 01:24:45,320
Colonel, my compliments, sir.
1584
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:47,810
What of Roxane?
1585
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:48,470
Wait.
1586
01:24:49,350 --> 01:24:50,860
Well, what is it?
You look so...
1587
01:24:52,830 --> 01:24:54,580
She does not love me.
1588
01:24:54,990 --> 01:24:57,310
- You think not?
- She loves you.
1589
01:24:57,340 --> 01:24:59,630
- No.
- She loves only my soul.
1590
01:24:59,660 --> 01:25:00,370
- No.
- Yes!
1591
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:03,140
That means you.
And you love her.
1592
01:25:03,170 --> 01:25:05,300
- I?
- I see. I know.
1593
01:25:05,340 --> 01:25:08,310
You wrote her,
everyday, every day!
1594
01:25:08,820 --> 01:25:10,030
- Perfectly simple.
- Simple?
1595
01:25:10,060 --> 01:25:11,700
For a month,
we've been blockaded here.
1596
01:25:11,740 --> 01:25:13,340
How did you send
all those letters?
1597
01:25:13,370 --> 01:25:14,500
Before daylight
I managed...
1598
01:25:14,530 --> 01:25:16,070
To face death
everyday.
1599
01:25:16,820 --> 01:25:17,950
You love her.
1600
01:25:19,020 --> 01:25:20,190
Yes.
1601
01:25:26,950 --> 01:25:27,890
Tell her so.
1602
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:29,250
- No.
- Why not?
1603
01:25:29,350 --> 01:25:32,290
Why?
Look at me.
1604
01:25:32,590 --> 01:25:35,420
She would love me
if I were ugly.
1605
01:25:35,990 --> 01:25:38,820
- She said that?
- Yes. Now, go to her.
1606
01:25:40,090 --> 01:25:42,410
Nonsense. Do not
believe any such madness.
1607
01:25:42,440 --> 01:25:44,730
Go back to her.
You never will be ugly.
1608
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:45,810
Go!
It is you she loves.
1609
01:25:45,850 --> 01:25:46,870
That is what
we shall see.
1610
01:25:46,900 --> 01:25:47,840
No, no!
1611
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:49,480
- Let her chose between us.
- No.
1612
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:51,510
- Tell her everything.
- Why do you torture me?
1613
01:25:51,550 --> 01:25:54,700
Shall I ruin your happiness,
because I was born with a pretty face?
1614
01:25:54,740 --> 01:25:57,210
Am I to ruin yours,
because I happen to have power
1615
01:25:57,250 --> 01:25:58,750
to say what you perhaps feel?
1616
01:25:58,780 --> 01:26:00,910
- Tell her!
- Don't drive me too far!
1617
01:26:00,950 --> 01:26:03,210
- I'm tired of being my own rival.
- Hard to know.
1618
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:05,470
My secret marriage, that
can be annulled, I expect.
1619
01:26:05,500 --> 01:26:07,790
I want her love
for the poor fool than I am,
1620
01:26:07,860 --> 01:26:09,020
or not at all.
1621
01:26:09,390 --> 01:26:12,090
Oh, I'm going through with this.
I'll know one way or the other.
1622
01:26:12,870 --> 01:26:15,280
Now, go!....Tell her.
1623
01:26:15,480 --> 01:26:16,790
Let her chose one of us.
1624
01:26:17,570 --> 01:26:18,780
It will be you.
1625
01:26:19,670 --> 01:26:21,330
I hope so.
1626
01:26:33,070 --> 01:26:33,820
- Captain!
1627
01:26:36,570 --> 01:26:38,100
The Spanish fires are going out.
1628
01:26:41,030 --> 01:26:42,160
It begins.
1629
01:26:42,220 --> 01:26:44,140
I need a scout. Where's Cyrano.
1630
01:26:44,490 --> 01:26:45,280
Captain.
1631
01:26:45,850 --> 01:26:46,740
Let me go.
1632
01:26:46,780 --> 01:26:49,490
No, my boy, Cyrano knows
the terrain. He knows their lines.
1633
01:26:49,530 --> 01:26:51,550
So do I.
Please, allow me.
1634
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:56,070
Very well.
We must know from which
1635
01:26:56,110 --> 01:26:58,810
direction the advance comes.
Their weight and numbers.
1636
01:26:58,840 --> 01:26:59,560
I understand.
1637
01:27:11,940 --> 01:27:12,780
Roxane.
1638
01:27:13,430 --> 01:27:14,450
Cyrano.
1639
01:27:14,480 --> 01:27:15,930
Christian thinks...
1640
01:27:17,470 --> 01:27:19,190
Christian thinks you
ought to know that...
1641
01:27:19,220 --> 01:27:20,240
But I do know.
1642
01:27:20,770 --> 01:27:22,850
He still doubts what I
just told him, just now.
1643
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:23,860
I saw that.
1644
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:27,560
Yes, but,...was it true,
what you told him just now?
1645
01:27:27,590 --> 01:27:28,900
It was true.
1646
01:27:28,990 --> 01:27:32,270
I said that I should love him,
even if he were....
1647
01:27:33,020 --> 01:27:34,580
The word comes
hard before me?
1648
01:27:37,420 --> 01:27:38,860
Say it, I shall
not be hurt.
1649
01:27:39,370 --> 01:27:40,620
Ugly?
1650
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:42,130
Even, then
I should love him.
1651
01:27:43,500 --> 01:27:44,690
Disfigured.
1652
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:45,870
Or disfigured.
1653
01:27:46,480 --> 01:27:49,620
Even....grotesque.
1654
01:27:49,650 --> 01:27:51,350
How could he
every be grotesque,
1655
01:27:51,810 --> 01:27:52,950
ever to me?
1656
01:27:52,990 --> 01:27:55,580
But, you could love him so,
as much as?
1657
01:27:55,610 --> 01:27:56,790
Yes, and more.
1658
01:27:57,320 --> 01:27:58,320
Roxane...
1659
01:27:58,350 --> 01:27:59,300
(gunshot)
1660
01:27:59,340 --> 01:28:00,260
What is it?
1661
01:28:01,550 --> 01:28:02,600
Are they fighting?
1662
01:28:05,250 --> 01:28:06,510
What is happening?
1663
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:08,010
- The Spaniards advance,
1664
01:28:08,940 --> 01:28:09,930
but there is time.
1665
01:28:10,480 --> 01:28:12,370
- Where is Christian?
- At the parapet.
1666
01:28:12,820 --> 01:28:13,890
Oh, of course.
1667
01:28:14,930 --> 01:28:16,750
What is it
that you wish to tell me?
1668
01:28:16,780 --> 01:28:18,140
Roxane,...
1669
01:28:18,810 --> 01:28:21,690
believe me this is difficult,
and for once I lack words.
1670
01:28:24,690 --> 01:28:26,330
Christian asked me to...
1671
01:28:26,440 --> 01:28:27,850
He told me...
1672
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:38,220
Christian!
1673
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:42,970
To your places, gentlemen.
1674
01:28:43,970 --> 01:28:45,130
Is he dead?
1675
01:28:45,170 --> 01:28:46,260
No, but dying.
1676
01:28:46,300 --> 01:28:47,660
I will not let him!
1677
01:28:51,870 --> 01:28:54,530
Cyrano...did you?
1678
01:28:54,570 --> 01:28:56,610
Yes, my friend.
I have told her.
1679
01:28:58,350 --> 01:28:59,450
She loves you.
1680
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:02,190
Roxane.
1681
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:03,570
Yes, my darling.
1682
01:29:06,020 --> 01:29:07,320
Christian!
1683
01:29:08,170 --> 01:29:09,370
He is not dead?
1684
01:29:10,930 --> 01:29:11,830
Yes.
1685
01:29:12,310 --> 01:29:13,640
(gasp)
1686
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:22,890
Time you must go, now.
1687
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:25,860
Really, he is dead.
1688
01:29:25,890 --> 01:29:27,740
No one else
knew him but you.
1689
01:29:28,250 --> 01:29:29,630
Was he not a hero?
1690
01:29:29,670 --> 01:29:30,700
Yes, Roxane.
1691
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:33,340
A heart deeper
than we knew.
1692
01:29:33,380 --> 01:29:34,930
Yes, Roxane.
1693
01:29:35,010 --> 01:29:39,310
A poet.
A soul magnificently tender.
1694
01:29:41,750 --> 01:29:43,660
Yes, Roxane.
1695
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:46,740
But he is dead now.
1696
01:29:48,390 --> 01:29:50,030
(collapses sobbing)
1697
01:29:50,070 --> 01:29:51,230
Why, so am I.
1698
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:55,060
For I am dead
and my love mourns for me
1699
01:29:55,100 --> 01:29:56,550
and does not know.
1700
01:29:58,190 --> 01:29:59,530
Will never know.
1701
01:29:59,570 --> 01:30:00,990
(rapid gunfire)
1702
01:30:01,030 --> 01:30:02,410
(bugle calls)
1703
01:30:03,030 --> 01:30:04,030
Take her away quickly.
1704
01:30:05,670 --> 01:30:06,500
Wait.
1705
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:09,220
A letter over his heart.
1706
01:30:11,490 --> 01:30:12,850
(sobbing)
1707
01:30:16,740 --> 01:30:18,460
I have two deaths
to avenge, now,
1708
01:30:19,090 --> 01:30:22,670
Christian's...and my own.
1709
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:42,210
(fighting becomes intense)
1710
01:30:43,330 --> 01:30:46,820
(the Spanish army advances)
1711
01:30:49,450 --> 01:30:50,280
Fire!
1712
01:31:00,270 --> 01:31:02,810
Surrender or you die!
1713
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:51,720
(de Guiche)
Look! The signal!
1714
01:32:59,940 --> 01:33:00,940
Ah!
1715
01:33:07,070 --> 01:33:09,610
We fought. We died.
We fought again.
1716
01:33:09,750 --> 01:33:12,760
Who are these men who are
so fond of death, one Spaniard cried.
1717
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:14,440
On and on, they came.
1718
01:33:14,570 --> 01:33:17,210
Then, when all seemed lost,
we heard the trumpets
1719
01:33:17,250 --> 01:33:19,850
of our returning troops.
The battle was ours!
1720
01:33:20,690 --> 01:33:24,050
Ah, you have been fortunate,
Ms. de Bergerac, you have lived!
1721
01:33:24,090 --> 01:33:28,870
While we, we waste our youth.
There is no war and not hope for any.
1722
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:30,880
No hope for any?
1723
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:34,220
My fellow, I just realize,
we are both fools.
1724
01:33:34,630 --> 01:33:37,550
But mine is the greater folly,
for I am an older fool.
1725
01:33:38,170 --> 01:33:42,320
What is more......
Everything I told you was a lie.
1726
01:33:47,550 --> 01:33:49,680
Another satire
for the Gazette?
1727
01:33:49,710 --> 01:33:50,410
Yes.
1728
01:33:50,820 --> 01:33:53,480
Another glove flung
in the face of power?
1729
01:33:53,650 --> 01:33:55,400
Oh, why do you
do it, Cyrano?
1730
01:33:55,430 --> 01:33:57,860
- Why do you attack...
- Stupidity?
1731
01:33:57,880 --> 01:34:01,180
Deceit? Corruption?
I'm too old to change.
1732
01:34:01,370 --> 01:34:03,980
I'm an old dog
with nothing left but his teeth.
1733
01:34:04,010 --> 01:34:06,580
Ah, but teeth can be pulled.
That can be painful.
1734
01:34:10,440 --> 01:34:14,580
That insolent wretch.
That scoundrel de Bergerac.
1735
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:17,180
This time he's gone too far.
I swear it.
1736
01:34:17,210 --> 01:34:18,790
He's signed his death warrant.
1737
01:34:19,950 --> 01:34:21,730
And who will deliver it?
1738
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:25,040
His sword is still very
powerful, my friend.
1739
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:27,230
There are may ways
a man can die.
1740
01:34:27,990 --> 01:34:29,550
Who knows?
1741
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:31,430
He may meet
with an accident.
1742
01:34:32,550 --> 01:34:33,570
Soon.
1743
01:34:35,100 --> 01:34:38,710
(church chimes)
1744
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:46,060
But, uh, tell me, Madame.
1745
01:34:46,180 --> 01:34:50,830
How long will you continue
to remain here, forever in mourning?
1746
01:34:51,670 --> 01:34:52,570
Forever.
1747
01:34:53,060 --> 01:34:55,080
Was Christian all that?
1748
01:34:55,770 --> 01:34:57,400
If you knew him
you would not ask.
1749
01:34:57,950 --> 01:35:00,150
His last letter
is still in my heart.
1750
01:35:00,820 --> 01:35:04,770
And, uh, Cyrano?
Do you see him often?
1751
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:09,240
Every week. My old friend
takes the place of my Gazette.
1752
01:35:09,620 --> 01:35:11,320
He brings me all the news.
1753
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:14,940
Every Saturday under
that tree out there.
1754
01:35:14,980 --> 01:35:17,070
I wait for him embroidering.
1755
01:35:17,430 --> 01:35:20,240
The hour strikes.
I need not turn to look.
1756
01:35:20,570 --> 01:35:24,070
At the last stroke,
I hear his cane tapping the walk.
1757
01:35:24,100 --> 01:35:26,430
His satires have made
him many enemies.
1758
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:29,740
But, they still fear
that sword of his.
1759
01:35:30,330 --> 01:35:32,130
No one dare touch him.
1760
01:35:32,510 --> 01:35:33,670
Hm, that may be so.
1761
01:35:35,620 --> 01:35:38,160
It is not violence
I fear for him,
1762
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:42,560
but solitude, poverty.
Old gray Decembers
1763
01:35:42,590 --> 01:35:45,350
stealing on wolf's feet
into his darkened room.
1764
01:35:46,010 --> 01:35:48,230
It seems to me he's
worn the same old coat
1765
01:35:48,260 --> 01:35:49,610
for many months, now.
1766
01:35:49,650 --> 01:35:51,740
Eh, that is nothing
strange in this world.
1767
01:35:51,780 --> 01:35:53,820
You need not pity
him overmuch.
1768
01:35:53,860 --> 01:35:56,930
He lives his life,
his own life his own way,
1769
01:35:56,970 --> 01:36:00,300
thought, word and deed free.
1770
01:36:00,450 --> 01:36:01,610
My Lord Duke.
1771
01:36:01,750 --> 01:36:05,860
Oh, yes, I know.
I have all. He has nothing.
1772
01:36:06,370 --> 01:36:12,170
Nevertheless, today,
I should be proud to shake his hand.
1773
01:36:12,350 --> 01:36:14,000
Ah, well, adieu.
1774
01:36:14,670 --> 01:36:16,300
Will I ever see you again?
1775
01:36:16,340 --> 01:36:17,970
Come whenever you like.
1776
01:36:18,010 --> 01:36:19,610
Then, you have forgiven me.
1777
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:21,680
I am here.
1778
01:36:22,950 --> 01:36:25,380
Do you know?
When a man wins
1779
01:36:25,420 --> 01:36:29,750
everything in this world,
when he succeeds too much,
1780
01:36:29,790 --> 01:36:34,190
he feels, somehow,
a thousand small displeasures
1781
01:36:34,230 --> 01:36:38,560
with himself, whose whole sum
is not quite remorse
1782
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:45,570
but rather a sort of vague
disgust, dry illusions, pained regrets.
1783
01:36:45,870 --> 01:36:48,730
Yes, now and then,
I envy your Cyrano.
1784
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:50,860
The sentiment
does you honor.
1785
01:36:50,890 --> 01:36:52,250
(chuckling)
1786
01:36:59,350 --> 01:37:04,280
Madame, I must tell you,
it is true that no one has yet
1787
01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:06,490
dared to attack
your friend Cyrano.
1788
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:11,380
Nevertheless, at the theater
last night, I heard some things.
1789
01:37:12,260 --> 01:37:13,720
Keep him at home all you can.
1790
01:37:14,090 --> 01:37:17,330
Tomorrow when you see him,
tell him to be careful.
1791
01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:19,130
I thank you.
1792
01:37:32,050 --> 01:37:33,140
(Cyrano)
Good night, Ragueneau.
1793
01:37:33,180 --> 01:37:35,120
(Ragueneau)
Cyrano, you not leaving?
1794
01:37:35,150 --> 01:37:37,030
You will not have
dinner here with me?
1795
01:37:37,060 --> 01:37:38,860
(Cyrano)
My regrets. I have a magnificent
1796
01:37:38,900 --> 01:37:42,450
roast waiting for me, a rare wine,
a gift from my publisher.
1797
01:37:42,490 --> 01:37:43,890
(Ragueneau)
Fine, to be sure.
1798
01:37:44,650 --> 01:37:47,490
Uh, have you seen
Moliere's new play?
1799
01:37:47,530 --> 01:37:48,160
No.
1800
01:37:48,340 --> 01:37:49,650
Heh, ah, well....
1801
01:37:49,690 --> 01:37:50,580
What is it?
1802
01:37:50,610 --> 01:37:51,460
Well, he...
1803
01:37:51,500 --> 01:37:52,250
Speak.
1804
01:37:52,290 --> 01:37:55,220
He stole a scene
from you, word for word.
1805
01:37:55,250 --> 01:37:57,140
You know, "What the devil
was he doing there?"
1806
01:37:57,170 --> 01:37:57,730
That one.
1807
01:37:57,770 --> 01:37:59,040
He stole it, bodily.
1808
01:37:59,070 --> 01:38:01,300
Well, he showed
good taste.
1809
01:38:01,340 --> 01:38:03,020
It, uh, played well?
1810
01:38:03,060 --> 01:38:05,450
Oh, beautifully. They
laughed and laughed.
1811
01:38:05,480 --> 01:38:06,810
Oh, how they laughed.
1812
01:38:07,250 --> 01:38:08,560
Moliere has genius.
1813
01:38:09,370 --> 01:38:11,010
Christian had good looks.
1814
01:38:12,170 --> 01:38:13,610
With me, it was
always thus.
1815
01:38:16,050 --> 01:38:17,240
Good night, my friend.
1816
01:38:32,340 --> 01:38:32,950
(man)
Hold, there.
1817
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:33,950
(man)
You!
1818
01:38:35,650 --> 01:38:36,850
(Cyrano)
Are you addressing me?
1819
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:38,990
Yes, you, Monsieur
of the long nose.
1820
01:38:39,100 --> 01:38:40,000
Insolence.
1821
01:38:40,290 --> 01:38:41,990
- Foulmouthed scribbler.
- What?
1822
01:38:42,020 --> 01:38:43,440
- Lair, plagiarist!
- Liar.
1823
01:38:47,910 --> 01:38:49,660
(whistling to wagon)
1824
01:39:08,630 --> 01:39:10,920
(driver whips horses)
1825
01:39:27,570 --> 01:39:28,490
Doctor.
1826
01:39:29,930 --> 01:39:31,260
Why pretend?
1827
01:39:31,550 --> 01:39:32,910
It is very grave.
1828
01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:35,500
Keep him quiet
at all costs.
1829
01:39:35,540 --> 01:39:38,500
If he attempts
to rise, he will die.
1830
01:39:38,540 --> 01:39:39,810
Shhhh.
1831
01:39:43,220 --> 01:39:43,930
Thank you.
1832
01:39:44,980 --> 01:39:47,240
(door closes)
1833
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:55,820
(gate bell rings)
1834
01:39:59,820 --> 01:40:01,490
(gate opens)
1835
01:40:01,530 --> 01:40:03,170
Monsieur.
1836
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:03,860
Ah, Sister.
1837
01:40:09,810 --> 01:40:10,880
(gasp)
1838
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:12,350
What is the matter
with you?
1839
01:40:14,480 --> 01:40:15,900
Shall I tell you
something, Sister?
1840
01:40:16,540 --> 01:40:20,470
Yesterday, Friday, mind you,
I ate meat again.
1841
01:40:21,930 --> 01:40:23,000
Yes, I know.
1842
01:40:23,350 --> 01:40:25,080
That is why you
are so pale.
1843
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:27,930
Please come to me
to the refectory before you go.
1844
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,250
I'll make you a great
bowl of hot soup.
1845
01:40:30,280 --> 01:40:31,630
Of course, of course.
1846
01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:33,950
You're quite reasonable today.
1847
01:40:33,990 --> 01:40:36,120
Perhaps you'll convert me.
1848
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:38,260
Oh, no! Not for the world.
1849
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:40,690
Why, now I think of it,
that is so.
1850
01:40:41,070 --> 01:40:44,560
You, bursting with holiness,
and yet you never preach.
1851
01:40:45,470 --> 01:40:46,760
Astonishing.
1852
01:40:47,060 --> 01:40:49,100
And now I shall astonish you.
1853
01:40:49,690 --> 01:40:54,110
I'm going to let you
pray for me tonight, at Vespers.
1854
01:40:55,830 --> 01:40:58,700
Absolutely struck dumb, eh?
1855
01:41:02,550 --> 01:41:05,180
I did not wait for you
to say I might.
1856
01:41:14,930 --> 01:41:17,450
Now may the devil admire
me if never hope to see
1857
01:41:17,490 --> 01:41:19,570
the end of that embroidery.
1858
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:23,440
After 14 years,
late for the first time.
1859
01:41:23,480 --> 01:41:26,550
Yes.
Yes, maddening.
1860
01:41:27,330 --> 01:41:31,480
I was detained by
a visitor. Most unexpected.
1861
01:41:32,150 --> 01:41:33,660
An old friend of mine.
1862
01:41:34,540 --> 01:41:36,830
At least a very
old acquaintance.
1863
01:41:36,870 --> 01:41:38,320
Did you tell him
to go away?
1864
01:41:38,980 --> 01:41:40,410
For the time being, yes.
1865
01:41:40,440 --> 01:41:45,270
I said excuse me,
I see that it's Saturday,
1866
01:41:45,620 --> 01:41:48,200
I have a previous
engagement.
1867
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:49,620
One I cannot miss.
1868
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:52,340
Even for you.
1869
01:41:53,250 --> 01:41:55,310
Come back an hour from now.
1870
01:41:55,420 --> 01:41:59,170
Your friend will have to wait.
I shall not let you go till dark.
1871
01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:04,970
Perhaps a little before dark,
I must go.
1872
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:09,080
Oh, then tell me now
the court news. My Gazette.
1873
01:42:10,390 --> 01:42:14,190
Ah, yes, well, let me see.
1874
01:42:16,350 --> 01:42:20,840
Saturday, 19th, the King
fell ill after eight helpings of
1875
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:22,170
grape marmalade.
1876
01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:26,320
Grape marmalade will
no longer be served at court.
1877
01:42:28,190 --> 01:42:33,010
Sunday, the royal pulse
is now normal.
1878
01:42:34,630 --> 01:42:37,930
Monday, everyone was
talking about the success
1879
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:39,600
of Moliere's new play.
1880
01:42:40,830 --> 01:42:46,110
Tuesday, the King fell ill
after six helpings of marone glacee.
1881
01:42:47,910 --> 01:42:50,130
Marone glacee will no
longer be served at court.
1882
01:42:51,710 --> 01:42:55,700
Wednesday, the Compte de Firske
spoke to Madame de Monte Glas.
1883
01:42:56,500 --> 01:42:59,380
She said....no.
1884
01:43:01,480 --> 01:43:07,450
Thursday.... Nothing.
1885
01:43:07,490 --> 01:43:10,580
Friday, Madame de Monte Glas
said yes.
1886
01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:18,800
Saturday, 25th....
1887
01:43:19,450 --> 01:43:20,520
Cyrano!
1888
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:24,010
What is it?
Cyrano!
1889
01:43:28,660 --> 01:43:31,300
- Oh, no, no, it is nothing.
- What?
1890
01:43:31,750 --> 01:43:34,200
The old wound at Arras
sometimes...
1891
01:43:34,230 --> 01:43:36,980
- My poor friend.
- No, no, no, it is nothing.
1892
01:43:37,830 --> 01:43:39,350
It will soon be gone.
1893
01:43:41,010 --> 01:43:44,990
(gasp) There. 'Tis gone.
1894
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:48,480
We all have
our old wounds.
1895
01:43:49,020 --> 01:43:53,920
I have mine here,
under this faded scrap of writing.
1896
01:43:55,380 --> 01:43:57,340
It's hard to read now.
1897
01:43:58,370 --> 01:44:01,340
All for the blots
and tears.
1898
01:44:01,370 --> 01:44:02,560
His letter?
1899
01:44:03,480 --> 01:44:06,650
Did you not promise me,
that someday you would let me read it?
1900
01:44:07,090 --> 01:44:12,350
- This letter? You wish...?
- I do wish it....today.
1901
01:44:22,650 --> 01:44:24,230
Open it and read.
1902
01:44:49,700 --> 01:44:54,660
"Farewell, Roxane,
because today I die."
1903
01:44:54,690 --> 01:44:56,000
Aloud?
1904
01:44:57,180 --> 01:45:00,150
"I know that it will be today,
my own dearly beloved.
1905
01:45:01,630 --> 01:45:04,900
"Yet, my heart still so heavy
with love I have not told.
1906
01:45:06,440 --> 01:45:11,330
"And I shall die without telling you.
1907
01:45:11,900 --> 01:45:15,740
"No more shall my eyes
drink the sight of you like wine,
1908
01:45:16,230 --> 01:45:19,180
"never more with a look
that is a kiss,
1909
01:45:19,740 --> 01:45:22,430
"follow the sweet
grace of you."
1910
01:45:22,470 --> 01:45:24,400
How you read it.
His letter.
1911
01:45:24,440 --> 01:45:26,300
"I remember now the way you have
1912
01:45:26,340 --> 01:45:30,280
"of pushing back a lock of hair
with one hand from your forehead,
1913
01:45:30,860 --> 01:45:33,270
- "and my heart cries out..."
- His letter!
1914
01:45:33,310 --> 01:45:35,000
- "cries out and keeps crying."
1915
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:38,240
- You read it so...
- "Farewell, my dear, my dearest,"
1916
01:45:38,270 --> 01:45:40,650
- In a voice...
- "my own heart's own,"
1917
01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:44,230
- "my own treasure,"
- In such a voice!
- "my...love."
1918
01:45:44,260 --> 01:45:47,140
Yes, I remember hearing long ago.
1919
01:45:47,490 --> 01:45:52,210
"I am never away from you.
Even now I shall not leave you.
1920
01:45:53,110 --> 01:45:56,360
"In another world, I shall
still be that one who loves you,
1921
01:45:56,390 --> 01:46:00,110
"loves you beyond measure,
beyond..."
1922
01:46:09,180 --> 01:46:11,130
But, how can you read it now?
1923
01:46:14,420 --> 01:46:17,810
And all those 14 years
he has been the old friend
1924
01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:19,650
who came to me to be amusing.
1925
01:46:20,930 --> 01:46:23,170
- Roxane.
- It was you.
1926
01:46:23,910 --> 01:46:24,880
No, no, Roxane, no.
1927
01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:28,100
And I might have know it every time
that I heard you speak my name.
1928
01:46:28,130 --> 01:46:31,690
- No, it was not I.
- It was you!
- I swear.
1929
01:46:32,460 --> 01:46:34,810
- The letters. That was you.
- No.
1930
01:46:35,140 --> 01:46:38,960
- And the dear foolish words.
That was you.
- No.
1931
01:46:39,190 --> 01:46:43,290
- And the voice in the dark.
That was you.
- On my honor!
1932
01:46:43,330 --> 01:46:47,170
And the soul.
It was all you.
1933
01:46:47,270 --> 01:46:49,180
I never loved you.
1934
01:46:49,350 --> 01:46:50,850
Yes, you loved me.
1935
01:46:50,970 --> 01:46:52,740
Even now you love me.
1936
01:46:53,660 --> 01:46:55,610
(gasp)
No!
1937
01:46:55,650 --> 01:46:57,920
And twice you're great to know.
1938
01:46:57,950 --> 01:47:00,760
Oh, no, no, my own dear love,
I love you not.
1939
01:47:03,340 --> 01:47:05,840
Why were you silent
for so many years?
1940
01:47:06,580 --> 01:47:07,860
All the while.
1941
01:47:08,090 --> 01:47:11,110
Every night, and every day,
he gave me nothing.
1942
01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:13,120
You knew that.
1943
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:16,680
You knew in that letter
lying on my breast.
1944
01:47:17,940 --> 01:47:19,230
Your tears.
1945
01:47:20,580 --> 01:47:22,770
You knew they
were your tears.
1946
01:47:26,390 --> 01:47:28,270
The blood was his.
1947
01:47:29,370 --> 01:47:30,200
Cyrano!
1948
01:47:32,690 --> 01:47:34,320
Here! He's here.
1949
01:47:34,490 --> 01:47:36,270
Oh, what recklessness.
1950
01:47:36,310 --> 01:47:36,570
No.
1951
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:37,430
I knew it!
1952
01:47:37,490 --> 01:47:40,440
- Oh Madame he has killed
himself coming here.
- No. Shh.
1953
01:47:40,700 --> 01:47:42,220
That drink is, what is it?
1954
01:47:42,290 --> 01:47:45,510
Nothing. I did not
finish my Gazette.
1955
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:49,970
Saturday, 26th, an hour
or so before dinner
1956
01:47:50,540 --> 01:47:55,340
Ms. de Bergerac died,
foully murdered.
1957
01:47:55,690 --> 01:47:57,470
Cyrano, what have
they done to you?
1958
01:47:57,600 --> 01:47:59,540
How fate loves a jest.
1959
01:47:59,980 --> 01:48:03,000
Behold me ambushed,
taken unawares.
1960
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:08,830
My noble foe, a lackey.
My battlefield, a gutter.
1961
01:48:09,490 --> 01:48:10,950
It seems too logical.
1962
01:48:11,370 --> 01:48:13,040
They have missed everything,
1963
01:48:13,820 --> 01:48:15,290
even my death.
1964
01:48:16,330 --> 01:48:17,950
Sisters! Sisters!
1965
01:48:17,990 --> 01:48:21,350
No, do not go away.
I may not be here when you return.
1966
01:48:22,030 --> 01:48:23,760
You shall not die.
1967
01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:25,460
(sobbing)
I love you.
1968
01:48:25,490 --> 01:48:27,410
No, my lady,
it's not in the story.
1969
01:48:28,100 --> 01:48:29,900
When beauty said
I love you to the beast
1970
01:48:29,930 --> 01:48:32,990
all his ugliness changed
and dissolved, like magic.
1971
01:48:33,550 --> 01:48:37,370
But, you see,
I am still the same.
1972
01:48:37,440 --> 01:48:39,430
And I have
done this to you.
1973
01:48:39,470 --> 01:48:40,620
You? Why no.
1974
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:42,060
All my fault, mine!
1975
01:48:42,100 --> 01:48:43,320
On the contrary.
1976
01:48:44,060 --> 01:48:47,080
I have never know womanhood
in its sweetness, but for you.
1977
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:50,750
My mother did not
like to look at me.
1978
01:48:52,050 --> 01:48:53,530
I never had a sister.
1979
01:48:54,880 --> 01:49:01,130
Later, I feared those sweethearts
with mockery behind her smile.
1980
01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:06,150
But, because of you,
I have had across my life
1981
01:49:06,930 --> 01:49:10,600
one whispering, silken gown.
1982
01:49:12,780 --> 01:49:15,200
I never loved but
one man in my life.
1983
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:18,680
I have lost him, twice.
1984
01:49:19,660 --> 01:49:23,540
(sobbing)
1985
01:49:23,570 --> 01:49:27,890
I would not have you mourning
any less that good, noble Christian.
1986
01:49:28,980 --> 01:49:32,570
But, perhaps, I ask only this,
1987
01:49:34,100 --> 01:49:36,370
when the great cold
gathers around my bones,
1988
01:49:37,770 --> 01:49:42,590
you may give a double
meaning to your widow's weeds.
1989
01:49:43,910 --> 01:49:50,900
The tears you let fall for him,
may for a little, be my tears.
1990
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:53,040
Oh, my love!
1991
01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:58,400
No, not here.
Not lying down.
1992
01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:01,300
Let no one help me.
No one need help me.
1993
01:50:06,310 --> 01:50:07,430
It is coming.
1994
01:50:08,260 --> 01:50:11,460
I feel already shod with marble.
1995
01:50:12,720 --> 01:50:13,950
Gloved with lead.
1996
01:50:14,730 --> 01:50:16,700
Very well,
let the old fellow come now.
1997
01:50:17,190 --> 01:50:19,600
He shall find me
on my feet.
1998
01:50:21,670 --> 01:50:23,120
Sword in hand.
1999
01:50:23,160 --> 01:50:24,110
Cyrano!
2000
01:50:24,500 --> 01:50:25,890
He'd delirious.
2001
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:28,000
I see him now.
2002
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:28,700
He grins.
2003
01:50:28,740 --> 01:50:30,750
He is looking at my nose!
2004
01:50:30,790 --> 01:50:31,820
That skeleton.
2005
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:33,730
You there.
2006
01:50:33,970 --> 01:50:34,670
Who are you?
2007
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:36,950
A hundred against one, eh?
2008
01:50:37,300 --> 01:50:40,020
I know them now,
my ancient enemies.
2009
01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:40,960
Falsehood, there!
2010
01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:42,470
There, Prejudice!
2011
01:50:42,490 --> 01:50:44,100
Compromise, Cowardice.
2012
01:50:44,580 --> 01:50:47,160
What's that?
Surrender? No, never!
2013
01:50:47,190 --> 01:50:48,430
Never!
2014
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:50,820
Ah, you too, Vanity.
2015
01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:54,180
I knew you would
overthrow me in the end.
2016
01:50:54,210 --> 01:50:57,310
No, I fight, I fight on,
I fight....ow!
2017
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:01,000
(gasping)
2018
01:51:06,540 --> 01:51:08,550
All my laurels
you have riven away.
2019
01:51:10,290 --> 01:51:11,770
And my roses.
2020
01:51:12,940 --> 01:51:15,600
Yet, in spite of you,
there is one crown
2021
01:51:15,630 --> 01:51:16,980
I made away with me.
2022
01:51:17,020 --> 01:51:20,380
And tonight when I
enter before God,
2023
01:51:21,850 --> 01:51:27,140
my salute shall sweep away
the stars from the blue threshold.
2024
01:51:28,310 --> 01:51:33,240
One thing without stain,
unspotted from the world,
2025
01:51:34,240 --> 01:51:40,610
in spite of doom, mine own,
...and that is...
2026
01:51:43,220 --> 01:51:51,220
my...white...plume...

In seventeenth-century Paris, poet and supreme swordsman Cyrano de Bergerac (José Ferrer) stops a play from being shown because he ostensibly cannot stand the bombastic style of the principal actor, Montfleury (Arthur Blake). An annoyed aristocratic fop, the Vicomte de Valvert (Albert Cavens), provokes him into a duel by tritely insulting Cyrano's enormous nose. Cyrano first mocks his lack of wit, improvising numerous inventive ways in which Valvert could have phrased it (much to the amusement of the audience). He then composes a ballade for the occasion on the spot and recites it during the sword fight. With the last line, he stabs his opponent.
Cyrano's friend Le Bret (Morris Carnovsky), Captain of the Gascony Guards, warns him he has made powerful enemies of his victim's friends, but he is unconcerned. When Le Bret presses him to reveal the real reason he hates Montfleury, Cyrano admits that he became jealous when he saw the actor smiling at his beautiful cousin Roxane (Mala Powers). He confesses that he is in love with her, but harbors no hope of it being returned because of his nose. When he receives a request from Roxane to see her in the morning, he is finally emboldened to act.
Then pastry chef and fellow poet Ragueneau (Lloyd Corrigan) approaches him for help. Ragueneau has learned that a nobleman he had mocked with his verses, the Comte De Guiche (Ralph Clanton), has hired a hundred ruffians to teach him a lesson. Cyrano escorts him, kills eight of the horde, and drives off the rest.
The next day, before he can tell Roxane of his feelings, she informs him that she has fallen in love with a handsome guardsman, Christian de Neuvillette (William Prince), though she has not even spoken to him. Cyrano hides his devastation and agrees to help her.
Cyrano befriends the young man, who is in Cyrano's guards' unit, and discovers that he is infatuated with Roxane, but is too inept with words to woo her. To help him, Cyrano composes Christian's love letters to Roxane, which she finds irresistible. Later, Christian decides he wants no more help and tries to speak to Roxane face to face, but fails miserably and she re-enters her house in an angry huff. Cyrano, hiding in the bushes, comes to his rescue, but this time by imitating Christian's voice and speaking to Roxane from under her balcony. He is so eloquent that he (unintentionally) wins a kiss for Christian from Roxane.
When the arrogant Comte De Guiche, who is also wooing Roxane, pressures her to marry him, Cyrano delays him long enough for her to wed Christian instead. Furious, De Guiche, Christian's commander, orders him to join his unit immediately for a war against the Spanish, preventing the couple from spending their wedding night together.
With Cyrano under his command as well, De Guiche earns the swordsman's respect by his conduct in the war. From the field, Cyrano sends Roxane letters every day, supposedly written by Christian. Roxane visits her husband in camp and tells him that she now has fallen in love with him not merely for his looks but because of his words, and would love him even if he were ugly. Realizing that she really loves Cyrano, Christian gets his rival to agree to tell Roxane the truth and let her decide between them. But before the opportunity arises, Christian volunteers for a dangerous mission and is fatally wounded, silencing Cyrano.
Roxane enters a convent in mourning. Years pass, with Cyrano visiting Roxane weekly, having retired from the military and writing satirical articles mocking the nobility. De Guiche, who has also befriended her and has come to respect Cyrano, has overheard a courtier plotting against Cyrano. De Guiche warns Roxane that Cyrano's life may be in danger. One night, Cyrano is lured into an ambush; the poet is run down by a carriage. Near death, he hides his injuries and goes to keep his appointment with Roxane for the last time. His secret love for Roxane is finally revealed when he recites from memory the last of his love letters, which she has kept, but it is too late. Cyrano first slips into delirium, then dies, leaving Roxane to mourn a second time.

00:02:26,210 --> 00:02:29,890
<i>Thrice happy he who hides

<i>where balmy zephyrs

6
00:02:37,660 --> 00:02:41,460
- Clown! The king of clowns!
Leave the stage at once!
7
00:02:43,970 --> 00:02:44,620
- Who is it?
8
00:02:44,650 --> 00:02:47,570
It's Cyrano.
I was afraid he'd do this.
9
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,250
<i>Thrice happy he
who hides from pomp and power...</i>
10
00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:54,910
- Wretch! Did I not forbid
you to appear this month?
11
00:02:57,940 --> 00:02:59,260
- Let's be quiet.
- Quiet!
12
00:03:00,190 --> 00:03:01,380
- Go on Montfleury.
13
00:03:04,270 --> 00:03:06,400
<i>Thrice happy he who...</i>
14
00:03:06,430 --> 00:03:07,630
- He who, indeed.
15
00:03:07,660 --> 00:03:10,730
- Donkeys say rather Hee-Haw!
16
00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:17,790
Begone! Or must I come and
help you off the stage myself?
17
00:03:21,130 --> 00:03:24,000
What! Still there?
18
00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:28,220
<i>Where balmy zephyrs
fan his burning cheeks... </i>
19
00:03:28,250 --> 00:03:32,050
Fat swine, if you dare breathe
on balmy zephyr more
20
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,640
I'll fan your cheeks
for you!
21
00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:36,480
Monsieur, won't you all
protect me?
22
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,090
- Proceed, proceed.
- Go on.
23
00:03:38,130 --> 00:03:40,880
Sir, I will not allow you
to insult me in this manner.
24
00:03:40,910 --> 00:03:43,520
Really?
What manner would you prefer?
25
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:44,850
Quiet, down there!
26
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,940
- We'll tolerate
no more of this.
27
00:03:47,870 --> 00:03:49,720
Go on with the play,
Montfleury.
28
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:52,380
(shouting criticisms)
29
00:03:52,410 --> 00:03:54,480
Unless these gentlemen
retain your seats
30
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,790
my sword may
bite their ribbons.
31
00:03:56,830 --> 00:03:58,650
Who is this braggart?
32
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,070
My cousin, sir.
33
00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:04,710
Well, Montfleury,
still no exit?
34
00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:06,930
- Very well then,
I enter
35
00:04:06,970 --> 00:04:11,740
with knife, to carve
this fat, stuffed goose.
36
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:14,800
(ominous music begins)

00:04:14,830 --> 00:04:18,080
(crowd clamors)
38
00:04:20,030 --> 00:04:22,170
I pray, do not crowd
my scabbard here.
39
00:04:22,210 --> 00:04:24,320
She may put her
tongue out at you.
40
00:04:24,350 --> 00:04:27,140
(shouted recriminations)
41
00:04:29,870 --> 00:04:30,990
Silence.
42
00:04:31,910 --> 00:04:33,830
I say be silent!
43
00:04:35,450 --> 00:04:38,260
And I offer one universal
challenge to you all:
44
00:04:38,460 --> 00:04:41,410
Will all who wish to die,
please raise their hands.
45
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,360
Approach, young heroes.
I will take your names.
46
00:04:45,140 --> 00:04:47,830
To the first man who falls
I'll build a monument.
47
00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:49,710
Who will head the list?
48
00:04:50,010 --> 00:04:50,780
You, sir?
49
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,000
No.
50
00:04:52,830 --> 00:04:53,610
You?
51
00:04:54,470 --> 00:04:55,170
No, no.
52
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,770
Anyone?
53
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,600
Anyone at all?
54
00:05:01,110 --> 00:05:03,550
Not one...name?
55
00:05:04,260 --> 00:05:06,420
Not one finger?
56
00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:10,260
Very well then,
I go on.
57
00:05:16,130 --> 00:05:18,810
Attend to me, Full Moon.
58
00:05:21,340 --> 00:05:24,190
I clap my hands three times, thus.
59
00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:26,740
(three claps)
60
00:05:26,770 --> 00:05:30,320
At the third, you will...
eclipse yourself.
61
00:05:30,490 --> 00:05:31,390
Ready!
62
00:05:32,110 --> 00:05:32,910
One.
63
00:05:34,010 --> 00:05:34,900
(clap)
64
00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:36,070
How dare you.
65
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:37,210
I demand!
66
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,070
I insist.
67
00:05:38,110 --> 00:05:40,150
- I call upon all the nobles...
- Two!
68
00:05:41,010 --> 00:05:42,080
(clap)
69
00:05:42,110 --> 00:05:43,090
This is an outrage.
70
00:05:43,130 --> 00:05:44,040
You hear, an outrage.
71
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:46,620
Nothing on earth
will move me from this stage.
72
00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:48,800
Three!
73
00:05:49,570 --> 00:05:49,910
(clap)
74
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:55,410
(laughter)
75
00:05:56,260 --> 00:05:59,210
Fair ladies and noble gentlemen...
- Boo!
76
00:05:59,250 --> 00:06:02,560
(laughter)
77
00:06:02,950 --> 00:06:04,210
But, Monsieur de Bergerac,
78
00:06:04,250 --> 00:06:07,490
why have you done this
to our Montfleury, an admirable actor?
79
00:06:07,530 --> 00:06:10,090
I have two reasons,
either one conclusive.
80
00:06:10,670 --> 00:06:12,800
First, he is an
abominable actor,
81
00:06:12,830 --> 00:06:15,870
who mouths his verse
and moans his tragedy.
82
00:06:16,350 --> 00:06:17,630
Second,....
83
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:20,970
Well, that's my secret.
84
00:06:22,530 --> 00:06:25,280
But...
But you've closed the play!
85
00:06:25,310 --> 00:06:26,880
It is not a very good play.
86
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:28,970
Huh!
And of their money?
87
00:06:29,010 --> 00:06:31,080
Possibly you would like
that returned to these good people.
88
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:31,960
Yes?
89
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,360
Yes.
90
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:35,830
Here,...catch!
91
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:37,920
(crowd murmurs)
92
00:06:38,410 --> 00:06:41,960
Well, Monsieur, you are hereby
authorized to close our play every night.
93
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,200
On these terms.
94
00:06:43,230 --> 00:06:43,740
(laughter)
95
00:06:43,780 --> 00:06:46,400
Ladies and gentlemen,
your money will be returned.
96
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,250
Kindly pass out, quietly.
97
00:06:48,290 --> 00:06:50,030
Goodnight, goodnight.
98
00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:53,220
(crowd accepts
in good spirits)
99
00:06:55,740 --> 00:06:57,120
(until...)
100
00:06:59,530 --> 00:07:02,610
Your cousin is an
extraordinary man, Madame.
101
00:07:02,650 --> 00:07:04,080
Oh, I agree.
102
00:07:04,410 --> 00:07:08,550
Soldier, poet, philosopher,
musician, playwright.
103
00:07:08,580 --> 00:07:09,570
All those?
104
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,360
Yes, and the best
swordsman in Paris.
105
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,310
Really?
106
00:07:14,340 --> 00:07:17,060
Now, I should have thought
the Vicomte here had that honor.
107
00:07:17,310 --> 00:07:21,360
Tell me, Madame, that
comic mask, that nose,
108
00:07:21,390 --> 00:07:23,300
presently he will take it off?
109
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:25,950
No, Monsieur, he keeps it.
110
00:07:26,450 --> 00:07:29,350
And heaven help
the man who smiles.
111
00:07:29,850 --> 00:07:31,060
Good night.
112
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,880
Oh, Monsieur!
113
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,980
Monsieur!
114
00:07:40,020 --> 00:07:42,710
Uh, when do you leave Paris?
115
00:07:43,210 --> 00:07:44,100
Sir?
116
00:07:44,250 --> 00:07:46,280
Why, after what you've
just done to Montfleury,
117
00:07:46,310 --> 00:07:48,750
did you not know that
the Compte de Guiche was his patron?
118
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:50,190
Who's yours?
119
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:52,140
No one.
120
00:07:52,170 --> 00:07:52,940
No one?
121
00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:53,870
No patron?
122
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:54,630
I said not.
123
00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:56,900
But the Compte de Guiche
has a long arm.
124
00:07:56,930 --> 00:07:58,900
Mine is longer
by three feet of steel.
125
00:07:59,530 --> 00:08:00,180
Yes, but..
126
00:08:00,860 --> 00:08:02,160
but, what a scare...
127
00:08:02,190 --> 00:08:02,990
You may go now.
128
00:08:03,020 --> 00:08:04,510
- but...
- You may go.
129
00:08:05,810 --> 00:08:08,620
Well, tell me,
why are you staring at my nose?
130
00:08:08,650 --> 00:08:10,160
Oh, I was not staring.
131
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:11,630
Does it astonish you?
132
00:08:11,660 --> 00:08:13,920
Why n...Why no, I've been careful
not to look.
133
00:08:13,950 --> 00:08:15,510
Oh, and why not, if you please?
134
00:08:15,550 --> 00:08:16,730
It disgusts you, then?
135
00:08:16,770 --> 00:08:17,880
But, no, I just...
136
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,700
Does its color appear
to you unwholesome?
137
00:08:19,730 --> 00:08:20,480
By no means.
138
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,310
Then, possibly you find it
just a trifle large?
139
00:08:22,340 --> 00:08:24,500
No, small, very small, tiny!
140
00:08:24,530 --> 00:08:25,640
Infinitesimal!
141
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,960
What?
You accuse me of absurdity?
142
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,730
Small, my nose?
Why magnificent, my nose!
143
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,900
You pug, you knob,
you button head,
144
00:08:34,930 --> 00:08:37,170
know that I glory
in this nose of mine!
145
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,400
For a great nose
indicates a great man,
146
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:45,440
congenial, courteous,
intellectual, virile, courageous.
147
00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:48,050
Whilst that face of yours,
148
00:08:48,370 --> 00:08:54,070
that blank, inglorious concavity
which my right hand finds on top of you,
149
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:59,630
is as devoid of pride, of poetry,
of soul, of picturesqueness,
150
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:04,810
of contour, of character,
of nose, in short,
151
00:09:04,850 --> 00:09:09,740
as that which is at the bottom of
that limp spine of yours my left foot...
- Oh, help!
152
00:09:09,780 --> 00:09:11,550
(laughter)
153
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:13,840
Presently, this fellow
will grow tiresome.
154
00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:16,590
Oh, he blows his horn.
155
00:09:17,330 --> 00:09:19,800
- Well, will no one
put him in his place?
156
00:09:20,270 --> 00:09:22,660
If you would all me.
Observe.
157
00:09:25,090 --> 00:09:31,260
Monsieur, your nose,
your nose is rather large.
158
00:09:34,450 --> 00:09:35,400
Rather?
159
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,350
Oh, well.
160
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:37,620
Is that all?
161
00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:38,540
Well, of course, you...
162
00:09:38,570 --> 00:09:40,400
Ah, no young sir, you're too simple.
163
00:09:40,430 --> 00:09:42,620
Why, you might have
said a great many things.
164
00:09:42,650 --> 00:09:44,800
Why waste your opportunity?
165
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:45,860
For example, thus...
166
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:47,450
Aggressive---
167
00:09:47,490 --> 00:09:51,040
I, sir, if that great nose were mine,
I would have it amputated on the spot.
168
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:52,710
Practical---
169
00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:56,570
How do you drink with such a nose.
You must have had a cup made especially.
170
00:09:56,850 --> 00:09:57,880
Descriptive---
171
00:09:57,910 --> 00:10:00,570
'Tis a rock, a crag, a cape.
172
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,510
A cape, say rather, a peninsula.
173
00:10:05,890 --> 00:10:06,990
Inquisitive---
174
00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:11,400
Uh, what is that receptacle,
a razor case or a portfolio?
175
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,680
Kindly---
176
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,840
Ah, do you love the little birds so much
that when they come and sing to you,
177
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,690
you give them this to perch on?
178
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,570
Cautious---
179
00:10:20,610 --> 00:10:24,120
Take care. A weight like that
might make you top-heavy.
180
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,250
Eloquent---
181
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,510
When it blows the typhoon howls
and the clouds darken.
182
00:10:29,580 --> 00:10:30,400
Dramatic---
183
00:10:30,430 --> 00:10:34,690
When it bleeds...the Red Sea.
184
00:10:35,540 --> 00:10:36,530
Simple---
185
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:39,640
Eh, when do they
unveil the monument?
186
00:10:40,020 --> 00:10:40,900
Military---
187
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:43,510
Beware, a secret weapon!
188
00:10:44,290 --> 00:10:45,620
Enterprising---
189
00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:48,080
What a sigh for some perfumer!
190
00:10:48,490 --> 00:10:49,300
Respectful---
191
00:10:49,330 --> 00:10:52,050
Uh sir, I recognize in you
a man of parts,
192
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,740
a man of...prominence.
193
00:10:54,770 --> 00:10:56,500
Or, Literary---
194
00:10:56,530 --> 00:10:59,360
Was this the nose
that launched a thousand ships?
195
00:11:00,010 --> 00:11:02,850
These, my dear sir, are things
you might have said had you
196
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,690
some tinge of letters or of wit
to color your discourse.
197
00:11:05,810 --> 00:11:07,970
Bit wit not so.
You never had an atom.
198
00:11:08,270 --> 00:11:14,480
And of letters, you need
but three to write you down, a..s..s.
199
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:16,530
Ass.
200
00:11:16,570 --> 00:11:18,040
- (laughter)
- You, sir!
201
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,600
Dolt! Bumpkin! Fool!
202
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:26,620
How do you do, and I,
Cyrano Savinien Hercule de Bergerac.
203
00:11:26,650 --> 00:11:28,050
Vicomte, come.
204
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,650
Such arrogance.
This scarecrow who...
205
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:31,850
Look at him!
206
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,120
No ribbons. No lace.
Not even gloves!
207
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,700
True. I carry my adornments
only on my soul.
208
00:11:39,740 --> 00:11:41,860
Decked with deeds
instead of ribbons.
209
00:11:41,890 --> 00:11:43,420
Mantled in my good name,
210
00:11:43,460 --> 00:11:45,350
and crowned with a
white plume of freedom.
211
00:11:45,380 --> 00:11:46,130
But..
212
00:11:46,170 --> 00:11:47,510
But, I have no gloves.
213
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:48,630
A pity, too.
214
00:11:48,670 --> 00:11:51,630
I had one, the last one of an old pair,
and lost that.
215
00:11:51,660 --> 00:11:53,250
Very careless of me.
216
00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:55,750
Some gentleman offered me
an impertinence.
217
00:11:55,790 --> 00:11:59,840
I left it in his face.
218
00:11:59,870 --> 00:12:00,840
So be it!
219
00:12:02,110 --> 00:12:05,050
You shall die exquisitely
220
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,160
Oh, a poet.
221
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,640
Oh, yes, a poet if you will.
222
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:11,510
So, uh, while we fight,
I'll improvise a ballad for you,
223
00:12:11,540 --> 00:12:15,270
and as I end the refrain,
...skhrch!...thrust home.
224
00:12:15,310 --> 00:12:16,280
Will you?
225
00:12:17,180 --> 00:12:18,130
I will.
226
00:12:21,820 --> 00:12:23,420
(excited crowd)
227
00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:26,890
Ballad au Duel
at the Theatre de Burgoyne
228
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,320
between de Bergerac,
and uh.....a barbarian.
229
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,240
What do you mean by that?
230
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,000
Oh, that?
231
00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:34,960
The title.
232
00:12:34,990 --> 00:12:36,570
(laughter)
233
00:12:36,610 --> 00:12:38,200
Stop. Let me choose my rhyme.
234
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:47,640
So. Here we go.
235
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:50,070
Lightly I toss my hat away.
236
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:55,440
Languidly o'er my arm let fall
the cloak that covers my bright array.
237
00:12:55,510 --> 00:13:00,770
Then, out swords,
and to work withal.
238
00:13:02,660 --> 00:13:05,720
A Lancelot in his lady's hall,
239
00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:10,580
A Spartacus at the Hippodrome,
240
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,340
I dally a while with you..
241
00:13:13,380 --> 00:13:14,750
you jackall.
242
00:13:32,810 --> 00:13:34,360
Just as I end the refrain,
243
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,380
thrust home!
244
00:13:51,290 --> 00:13:54,220
Where shall I skewer my peacock again?
245
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,160
Nay, better for you
to have shunned this brawl.
246
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,010
Here in the heart
or your ribbons, gay,
247
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,610
in the belly
'neath you silken shawl?
248
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,130
Now, come my points floats,
light as the foam
249
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,640
ready to drive you
back to the wall,
250
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:20,030
and then as I end the refrain,
251
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,440
thrust home.
252
00:14:21,930 --> 00:14:23,210
Oh, for a rhyme.
253
00:14:23,580 --> 00:14:25,060
Why, your fight is fading.
254
00:14:25,420 --> 00:14:26,040
You break.
255
00:14:26,350 --> 00:14:26,970
You cower.
256
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:27,600
You cringe.
257
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:28,200
You crawl.
258
00:14:29,310 --> 00:14:30,740
How can I tell
you're allowed to say
259
00:14:30,780 --> 00:14:31,750
something to turn on my head
260
00:14:31,790 --> 00:14:32,720
forestall.....
261
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:33,660
Life with a tunny
262
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:34,970
death with a scall.
263
00:14:35,010 --> 00:14:36,760
Something to turn on my fancy roam,
264
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,670
free for a time till the rhyme's recall,
265
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,620
then as I end the refrain,
266
00:14:40,650 --> 00:14:41,620
thrust home!
267
00:14:43,810 --> 00:14:44,670
Refrain.
268
00:14:45,550 --> 00:14:48,960
Prince,
pray God that is Lord of all,
269
00:14:48,990 --> 00:14:50,840
pardon you soul,
270
00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:54,190
for your time has come.
271
00:14:56,860 --> 00:14:58,820
Pass! I fling you aslant, asprawl.
272
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:00,590
Then as I end the refrain,
273
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,680
thrust home!
274
00:15:41,820 --> 00:15:45,390
(shouts of hurray
and congratulation)
275
00:15:47,130 --> 00:15:49,470
Ladies and gentlemen,
please, please,
276
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:50,790
not until the performance is over.
277
00:15:51,070 --> 00:15:51,980
Close the house.
278
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:52,820
A strike,
279
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,340
but leave the lights.
280
00:15:54,380 --> 00:15:56,070
We rehearse the new
farce tonight.
281
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,240
Wait.
282
00:16:04,110 --> 00:16:05,570
You have only to watch a fight,
283
00:16:05,610 --> 00:16:07,530
or have you ruined
if you listen to them.
284
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:11,570
Think of the enemies you've made,
285
00:16:11,610 --> 00:16:14,050
Montfleury, the Vicomte,
if he lives,
286
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,380
all those foppish marquis,
the Comte de Guiche.
287
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:18,970
That politician.
288
00:16:19,010 --> 00:16:21,910
He's the Cardinal's nephew.
There's power there!
289
00:16:21,950 --> 00:16:23,330
And power here.
290
00:16:23,370 --> 00:16:24,680
Young fool!
291
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,540
Take an example from me.
292
00:16:26,570 --> 00:16:29,810
20 years a captain,
while others who know only
293
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,750
how to deploy their
forces at court
294
00:16:31,780 --> 00:16:33,890
now dangle a marshal's baton.
295
00:16:33,930 --> 00:16:37,360
Well, uh, someday
I will avenge you, too.
296
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,530
Impossible.
Come on, let's go to dinner.
297
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,830
Dinner?
No, not I.
298
00:16:41,860 --> 00:16:42,540
Why not?
299
00:16:42,580 --> 00:16:44,530
Because I have no money.
300
00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:46,150
But, the purse of gold.
301
00:16:46,180 --> 00:16:48,140
Farewell paternal pension.
302
00:16:48,180 --> 00:16:51,430
And you have
until the first of next month?
303
00:16:51,470 --> 00:16:52,310
Nothing.
304
00:16:53,140 --> 00:16:54,460
What a fool.
305
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:56,770
Yes, but, what a moment.
306
00:16:56,810 --> 00:16:57,670
- Pardon, Monsieur.
307
00:17:00,010 --> 00:17:01,770
A man ought
never to go hungry.
308
00:17:02,690 --> 00:17:04,150
I have everything here.
309
00:17:05,490 --> 00:17:06,360
Please.
310
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,080
My dear child, I cannot bend this Gascon
pride of mine to accept such a kindness.
311
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:11,820
But, I...
312
00:17:12,910 --> 00:17:15,810
Yet, for fear that
I may give you pain if I refuse,
313
00:17:16,550 --> 00:17:18,190
I will take something.
314
00:17:19,630 --> 00:17:20,660
A grape.
315
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:25,160
One only.
316
00:17:25,820 --> 00:17:27,170
And a glass of water.
317
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,650
No, clear.
318
00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:35,750
And, uh,...half a macaroon.
319
00:17:37,010 --> 00:17:38,100
Nothing more?
320
00:17:39,060 --> 00:17:39,920
Why, yes.
321
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,230
Your hand to kiss.
322
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,510
Thank you, sir.
323
00:18:02,090 --> 00:18:03,100
Good night.
324
00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:10,290
Idiot.
325
00:18:13,170 --> 00:18:13,890
Dinner.
326
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,160
Drink.
327
00:18:18,830 --> 00:18:19,720
Desert.
328
00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:24,670
Mon Dieux, I was hungry,
abominably.
329
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:26,320
Tell me.
330
00:18:26,590 --> 00:18:27,440
Anything.
331
00:18:27,790 --> 00:18:29,920
Why to you hate
this Montfleury?
332
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:32,860
A very bad actor.
333
00:18:32,890 --> 00:18:34,860
Ah, come now, the real
reason, the truth.
334
00:18:36,610 --> 00:18:39,600
That fat goat who cannot hold
his belly in his arms,
335
00:18:39,630 --> 00:18:42,590
still dreams of being
sweetly dangerous among the women.
336
00:18:43,230 --> 00:18:47,610
Sighs and languishes, making sheep's
eyes out of his great frog's face.
337
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:52,750
I hate him ever since one day
he dared smile upon....
338
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,220
Oh, my friend, I seemed to see over
some flower a great snail crawling.
339
00:19:00,090 --> 00:19:01,180
Eh, what?
340
00:19:02,170 --> 00:19:03,340
Is it possible?
341
00:19:04,890 --> 00:19:06,180
For me to love?
342
00:19:08,770 --> 00:19:09,660
I love.
343
00:19:10,370 --> 00:19:12,570
Whom?
May I know?
344
00:19:12,610 --> 00:19:13,620
Whom I love?
345
00:19:15,070 --> 00:19:16,000
Think a moment.
346
00:19:16,210 --> 00:19:17,280
Think of me.
347
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,670
Me, whom the plainest
woman would despise.
348
00:19:21,030 --> 00:19:25,010
Me, with this nose of mine that
marches on before me by a quarter of an hour.
349
00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:28,000
Whom shall I love.
350
00:19:29,890 --> 00:19:34,930
Why, of course, it must be the
woman in the world most beautiful.
351
00:19:35,780 --> 00:19:37,170
Most beautiful?
352
00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:42,920
In these eyes of mine....
beyond compare.
353
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:44,070
Wait.
354
00:19:44,510 --> 00:19:46,440
Your cousin, Roxane.
355
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,300
Yes.
356
00:19:50,170 --> 00:19:51,080
Roxane.
357
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,810
Well?
358
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,020
Why not?
If you love her, tell her so.
359
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,170
My old friend.
360
00:20:01,150 --> 00:20:03,550
Look at me and tell me how
much hope remains for me
361
00:20:03,580 --> 00:20:04,970
with this protuberance.
362
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,360
Ahhh, I have no more illusions.
363
00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:12,140
Now and then I may grow tender
walking alone in the blue of evening
364
00:20:12,170 --> 00:20:16,130
through some garden fresh with flowers
after the benediction of the rain.
365
00:20:16,980 --> 00:20:20,930
My poor big devil of a nose
inhales April.
366
00:20:21,460 --> 00:20:26,950
And I follow with my eyes where
some boy with a girl upon his arm,
367
00:20:27,510 --> 00:20:32,130
passes a patch of silver...
and I feel somehow....
368
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,490
I wish I had a woman, too,
369
00:20:36,670 --> 00:20:41,660
walking with me under the moon,
and holding my arm and smiling.
370
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:44,240
Then I dream.
371
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:46,140
I forget.
372
00:20:49,510 --> 00:20:53,210
And then I see the shadow
of my profile on the wall.
373
00:20:54,750 --> 00:20:56,050
My friend.
374
00:20:57,180 --> 00:20:58,230
My friend.
375
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,370
I have my bitter days,
knowing myself so ugly, so alone.
376
00:21:03,410 --> 00:21:05,260
Ah, but your wit, your courage,
377
00:21:05,540 --> 00:21:08,170
why that poor child who just
now offered you your dinner,
378
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,710
your saw it, her eyes
did not avoid you.
379
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,920
That is true.
380
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,930
Well, then, Roxane herself,
watching your duel, pale.
381
00:21:18,970 --> 00:21:19,480
Pale?
382
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,670
Yes, her lips parted.
Her hand at her breast, thus.
383
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,020
I saw it.
384
00:21:24,260 --> 00:21:27,260
Speak to her. Speak, man.
385
00:21:35,890 --> 00:21:37,550
She might laugh at me.
386
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:42,480
It is the one thing
in this world I fear.
387
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,490
Pardon, Monsieur,
a lady outside asking for you.
388
00:21:48,410 --> 00:21:49,750
Monsieur.
389
00:21:50,340 --> 00:21:51,270
A Duenna.
390
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,530
I have a message for you
from a...a certain lady.
391
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,760
She desires to know when
and where she may see you privately.
392
00:21:57,810 --> 00:22:00,070
She has certain
things to tell you.
393
00:22:00,690 --> 00:22:01,850
Certain...
394
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,010
Things!
395
00:22:04,230 --> 00:22:05,720
She wishes to see me?
396
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,410
We go tomorrow at dawn
to hear mass at St. Rupe
397
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,070
And afterwards, where
would you suggest?
398
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:12,630
Well, then, I...
399
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:15,300
- Where?
- Well?
400
00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:17,070
Ah....I am thinking.
401
00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:18,080
And you think?
402
00:22:19,770 --> 00:22:20,590
Where?
403
00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:22,060
The shop at Ragueneau's.
404
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:24,580
Yes, yes, Ragueneau,
the pastry cook.
405
00:22:24,620 --> 00:22:25,400
Who dwells?
406
00:22:26,650 --> 00:22:27,590
Rue Saint Honore.
407
00:22:27,630 --> 00:22:28,690
Eh...Rue Saint Honore.
408
00:22:28,730 --> 00:22:33,530
We are agreed. At 7 o'clock.
Until then. Adieu.
409
00:22:38,790 --> 00:22:39,940
I'll be there.
410
00:22:41,620 --> 00:22:44,110
Me! To see me!
411
00:22:44,260 --> 00:22:45,830
Ah, not quite so gloomy.
412
00:22:45,870 --> 00:22:47,580
After all, she knows
that I exist.
413
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,060
Imagine, she has
asked to see me!
414
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:52,240
So, now you're
going to be happy?
415
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,350
Happy.
I'm going to be a storm.
A flame!
416
00:22:55,390 --> 00:22:58,430
I need to fight whole
armies all alone!
417
00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,840
I have ten hearts!
418
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,280
I have a hundred arms!.
419
00:23:01,310 --> 00:23:04,450
I feel too strong
to war with mortals!
420
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,150
BRING ME GIANTS!
421
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:11,240
Quiet, please, shhh.
We are rehearsing back here.
422
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,600
So sorry.
Ha, ha, ha.
423
00:23:21,490 --> 00:23:22,280
Cyrano.
424
00:23:22,830 --> 00:23:23,630
Cyrano.
425
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,590
Ragueneau.
426
00:23:26,150 --> 00:23:27,910
Oh, thank goodness
you're still here.
427
00:23:27,950 --> 00:23:29,180
Well, what's the matter.
428
00:23:29,210 --> 00:23:30,410
I'm afraid to go home.
429
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,040
Why?
430
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,050
You know those
comic verses I wrote?
431
00:23:33,090 --> 00:23:34,830
About the congregation.
432
00:23:34,860 --> 00:23:37,260
Cyrano, he's hired ruffians.
Bullies.
433
00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:39,740
A hundred, waiting for
me on the way home.
434
00:23:39,780 --> 00:23:41,620
They're gonna beat me.
Cane me!
435
00:23:41,650 --> 00:23:44,450
Please, would you permit me
to spend the night with you?
436
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,420
A hundred men,
is that all?
437
00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:49,610
Ragueneau, you're
going home tonight.
438
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,630
But they're armed.
They're cutthroats!
439
00:23:51,690 --> 00:23:53,620
Take this lantern.
Forward march.
440
00:23:53,660 --> 00:23:55,760
I say that I'll be the man
to see you to your shop.
441
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,150
Not you, I want no help from you.
442
00:23:57,190 --> 00:23:58,510
For even for a hundred,
you're mad.
443
00:23:58,550 --> 00:23:59,730
Those are the odds I want.
444
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,420
Why for this pastry cook?
445
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,820
First, because this
pastry cook is a friend of mine.
446
00:24:04,930 --> 00:24:07,820
Second, because this
pastry cook is also a poet.
447
00:24:07,950 --> 00:24:09,360
And, most important,
448
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:12,000
if anything should
happen to this pastry cook,
449
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:16,870
tomorrow morning at seven
his shop will be closed.
450
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:19,590
Goodnight.
451
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,060
(a whistle signal)
452
00:25:37,430 --> 00:25:38,480
Cyrano. Help!
453
00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:43,580
Look out behind you!
454
00:26:22,750 --> 00:26:23,810
I have been robbed.
455
00:26:24,370 --> 00:26:26,070
- There are no hundred here.
456
00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:32,360
It's, it's, it's...
457
00:26:33,820 --> 00:26:35,230
Be quick. Inside.
458
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,550
Bolt the door!
459
00:26:48,510 --> 00:26:49,310
Ah!
460
00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:08,660
Yah!
461
00:27:10,460 --> 00:27:12,210
(ruffians shouting)
462
00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:01,010
Ah!
463
00:28:03,860 --> 00:28:04,560
Awk.
464
00:28:05,860 --> 00:28:08,030
(ruffians shouting)
465
00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:17,280
(Le Bret)
- Cyrano!
466
00:28:17,310 --> 00:28:18,320
- Hold!
467
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:34,330
Ah.
468
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,420
How do you feel?
469
00:28:37,460 --> 00:28:39,540
Oh, pleasantly exhilarated.
470
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:42,990
- Come, I know a little tavern not far...
- Where's Ragueneau?
471
00:28:43,310 --> 00:28:46,320
Ragueneau?
Ragueneau!
472
00:28:46,730 --> 00:28:49,510
Little boy, come out.
All's well!
473
00:28:50,330 --> 00:28:51,990
- Is it over?
- All over.
474
00:28:52,220 --> 00:28:53,020
Really?
475
00:28:54,500 --> 00:28:55,340
So soon?
476
00:28:55,370 --> 00:28:56,140
Ha, ha, ha.
477
00:28:56,170 --> 00:28:59,480
Oh, if only I'd had my sword.
How many did we kill?
478
00:28:59,510 --> 00:29:00,330
Oh, about eight.
479
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:00,960
Eight.
480
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,410
Eight!
481
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,420
Ohhhh.
482
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,910
This.....gentleman
begins to annoy me.
483
00:29:31,980 --> 00:29:33,630
(Ragueneau is a poet, too.)
484
00:29:35,060 --> 00:29:40,010
No. The sauce and meat must rhyme.
Add a pinch of marigold and thyme.
485
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,960
Your house, of course, needs a stronger roof.
Eh? There's proof.
486
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:45,830
Cyrano.
487
00:29:46,830 --> 00:29:47,500
Cyrano.
488
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,100
Come in and eat.
489
00:29:49,130 --> 00:29:51,110
- What time is it?
- Not quite seven.
490
00:29:51,130 --> 00:29:54,140
Oh, now, please, Cyrano.
A man without breakfast is like...
491
00:29:54,180 --> 00:29:56,720
No.
Could she have changed her mind?
492
00:29:56,750 --> 00:29:57,920
Aw, she wouldn't dare.
493
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,900
We were magnificent last night.
494
00:30:00,370 --> 00:30:01,830
And at the theater, too.
495
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,320
'Then, as I end the refrain'....
496
00:30:04,350 --> 00:30:07,390
When she arrives.
Where can we converse undisturbed?
497
00:30:07,420 --> 00:30:09,190
Wherever you like.
My shop is yours.
498
00:30:09,310 --> 00:30:11,900
The little dining room
is quite romantic.
499
00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:14,490
'Thrust home!'
Yea gods, what a line.
500
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,650
- 'Then as I end the re....'
- Vanish.
501
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:18,110
- Uh, huh, she's come?
- Shhhh.
502
00:30:18,140 --> 00:30:18,920
I swear.
503
00:30:27,340 --> 00:30:28,170
Welcome.
504
00:30:38,470 --> 00:30:40,510
- A pardon, one word.
- Oh, yes?
505
00:30:40,550 --> 00:30:41,520
Have you a good digestion?
506
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,430
Oh, wonderful.
507
00:30:43,290 --> 00:30:48,800
Eh, here are some éclairs.
Uh, creampuffs.
508
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,160
Some, uh, jellyrolls.
And do you like nature?
509
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,400
I adore it.
510
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,760
Go out and eat these in the sunshine.
Do not return.
511
00:30:56,790 --> 00:30:57,440
But why?
512
00:30:57,470 --> 00:30:58,910
Until you have finished them.
513
00:30:58,940 --> 00:31:00,340
(outside)
- What do I do then?
514
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,750
(door closes)
515
00:31:09,970 --> 00:31:13,000
Blessed above all others be the hour
when you remember to remember me,
516
00:31:13,230 --> 00:31:15,800
and came to tell me......what?
517
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,750
To tell you that....
518
00:31:19,060 --> 00:31:21,810
Before I dare tell you I....
519
00:31:22,020 --> 00:31:24,850
Are you, I wonder, still
the same big brother almost
520
00:31:24,890 --> 00:31:26,720
that you used to be
when we were children,
521
00:31:26,750 --> 00:31:29,570
playing by the pond
in the old garden down there?
522
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,570
At Bergerac.
Those lovely summers.
523
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,700
You use to make swords
out of bulrushes.
524
00:31:33,740 --> 00:31:35,810
And you, dandelions
also golden hair.
525
00:31:35,890 --> 00:31:37,930
In those days
I could tell you everything.
526
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,860
And you did
everything I wished.
527
00:31:40,060 --> 00:31:44,830
Little Roxane, a sweet tyrone
with short skirts and long hair.
528
00:31:44,860 --> 00:31:45,780
Was I pretty?
529
00:31:49,830 --> 00:31:51,270
Not too plain.
530
00:31:52,150 --> 00:31:54,490
Sometimes when you had fallen
or hurt your hand,
531
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,670
you used to come running to me,
and I would be your mother and say,
532
00:31:57,710 --> 00:32:02,770
oh, with a very grownup voice,
'Now, what have you been doing to yourself?'
533
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,300
'Let me see.'
534
00:32:05,890 --> 00:32:07,060
- Oh!
- No one that.
535
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:08,230
Wait, let me see.
536
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,540
Still. At your age?
537
00:32:12,010 --> 00:32:13,810
Now, how did you do that?
538
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,910
Playing with the big boys
at the Place de Neanne.
539
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:18,410
Come here.
540
00:32:19,330 --> 00:32:21,020
Such a wise little mother.
541
00:32:21,030 --> 00:32:24,740
And tell me, while I wash this
blood away, how many you played with?
542
00:32:24,770 --> 00:32:26,840
- Oh, about a hundred.
- A hundred?
543
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,950
- More or less.
- It can't be.
544
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:31,080
No.
545
00:32:31,670 --> 00:32:33,720
Tell me what you were
going to tell me.....
546
00:32:34,130 --> 00:32:35,320
if you dared.
547
00:32:36,190 --> 00:32:38,060
I think I do dare, now.
548
00:32:38,860 --> 00:32:41,450
It seems so like
those happy days long ago.
549
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,780
Yes, I dare.
550
00:32:44,350 --> 00:32:47,190
Listen....I love someone.
551
00:32:47,850 --> 00:32:48,440
Yes?
552
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,150
Someone who does not know.
553
00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:51,340
Yes?
554
00:32:51,450 --> 00:32:54,970
Someone who loves me, too,
but is afraid of me and keeps away
555
00:32:55,010 --> 00:32:56,340
and never says one word.
556
00:32:57,570 --> 00:32:58,270
(softly)
Yes.
557
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,210
Give my that hand.
558
00:33:01,870 --> 00:33:03,080
Why, how hot it is.
559
00:33:04,390 --> 00:33:06,390
Yes, he loves me.
I am sure of it.
560
00:33:06,740 --> 00:33:07,530
(softly)
Yes.
561
00:33:08,110 --> 00:33:10,730
And he is a soldier, too,
in your own regiment,
562
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,710
your own company.
563
00:33:11,740 --> 00:33:12,750
(loud)
Yes.
564
00:33:13,340 --> 00:33:14,480
Such a man.
565
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,280
He is proud, noble, young, brave,
566
00:33:18,610 --> 00:33:19,700
beautiful!
567
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:22,550
(softly)
Beautiful.
568
00:33:25,180 --> 00:33:26,040
What's the matter?
569
00:33:26,460 --> 00:33:27,160
Oh, nothing.
570
00:33:28,110 --> 00:33:30,210
It's this, my hand.
571
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,280
I love him.
That is all.
572
00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:38,230
And I have never seen him
anywhere except in the theater.
573
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,710
You have never spoken?
574
00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:42,790
Only with our hearts.
575
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,080
Well, then, how do you know?
576
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:50,270
Well, people talk about people,
and I hear things, and...
577
00:33:51,370 --> 00:33:52,700
and I know.
578
00:33:53,890 --> 00:33:55,540
(firmly)
You say he is in the guards?
579
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,530
His name?
580
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,270
Baron Christian de Neuvillette.
581
00:34:02,790 --> 00:34:03,910
You know him?
582
00:34:04,290 --> 00:34:05,650
He is not in the guards.
583
00:34:05,690 --> 00:34:07,020
Yes, since last week.
584
00:34:07,770 --> 00:34:09,550
He is only lately
come to Paris...
585
00:34:09,730 --> 00:34:11,140
from Normandy.
586
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,070
So soon.
So soon we lose our hearts.
587
00:34:15,570 --> 00:34:16,160
What...
(door opens)
588
00:34:16,190 --> 00:34:17,220
(Duenna)
- Monsieur de Bergerac
589
00:34:17,250 --> 00:34:18,850
- I have eaten all the cakes.
590
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,280
Good.
Now, go out and enjoy nature.
591
00:34:23,020 --> 00:34:26,110
But my dear child, you love
only words, wit, poetry.
592
00:34:26,150 --> 00:34:29,950
Why, for all you know,
the man may be a savage or a fool.
593
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:34,290
Not with such eyes.
I read his soul in them.
594
00:34:35,270 --> 00:34:38,360
Yes, all our souls are
written in our eyes.
595
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,720
And you have brought
me here to tell me this?
596
00:34:42,980 --> 00:34:45,890
I do not yet quite understand,
madam, the reason for your confidence.
597
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:52,640
They say, that in your company,
it frightens me, you are all Gascon.
598
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,850
We pick a quarrel with any outsider
who intrudes himself.
599
00:34:54,890 --> 00:34:56,250
Is that what you have heard?
600
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,150
- I'm so afraid for him.
- Not without reason.
601
00:34:59,190 --> 00:35:03,730
And I thought you...
it's you whom they all respect and fear.
602
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,590
You want me to defend
your little Baron?
603
00:35:08,630 --> 00:35:09,740
Will you?
604
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:11,670
Just for me.
605
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,440
Because I have always
been your friend.
606
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,790
And this is what
you want of me?
607
00:35:16,820 --> 00:35:18,430
Will you be his friend?
608
00:35:20,450 --> 00:35:22,200
I will be his friend.
609
00:35:22,230 --> 00:35:23,040
And never let him
fight a duel.
610
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,060
No, never.
611
00:35:24,090 --> 00:35:24,750
Promise?
612
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:26,980
I promise.
613
00:35:27,420 --> 00:35:30,860
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
I knew I could rely on you.
614
00:35:33,930 --> 00:35:35,410
Well, now I must go.
615
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,480
Oh, you never told
me about last night.
616
00:35:43,970 --> 00:35:45,790
Why, you must
have been a hero.
617
00:35:45,820 --> 00:35:50,240
Have write and tell me all about it,
and...about himself.
618
00:35:51,420 --> 00:35:54,330
Oh, you are a darling.
We are great friends, are we not?
619
00:35:54,860 --> 00:35:56,330
He must write to me.
620
00:35:58,390 --> 00:36:01,490
A hundred men against one.
You shall tell me the whole story
621
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:02,980
someday when we have time.
622
00:36:06,570 --> 00:36:10,170
A hundred men.
What courage!
623
00:36:14,030 --> 00:36:16,810
I have done better.
624
00:36:21,820 --> 00:36:22,450
Well?
625
00:36:24,890 --> 00:36:26,050
Let us leave this place.
626
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,620
But the whole company
is on its way here.
627
00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:28,330
Oh, no.
628
00:36:28,370 --> 00:36:30,870
On my heels. Naturally I told
them all about last night.
629
00:36:30,900 --> 00:36:31,880
They're wild.
630
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:32,830
Here they are.
631
00:36:32,860 --> 00:36:35,420
- Yes, but, why did you?
- Perhaps I can stop them.
632
00:36:36,210 --> 00:36:36,870
Never mind.
633
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,220
Cyrano!
634
00:36:39,260 --> 00:36:46,070
(greetings and cheers to Cyrano)
635
00:36:49,130 --> 00:36:51,570
Eight dead men in the street.
Scandalous.
636
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,010
You know my edict
against dueling, nephew.
637
00:36:54,050 --> 00:36:55,580
I expect to have it enforced.
638
00:36:55,610 --> 00:36:58,940
Furthermore, I wish to know
who was responsible for last night's
639
00:36:58,970 --> 00:37:00,410
outrage at the Place de Neanne.
640
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:01,840
I understand, Your Eminence.
641
00:37:02,050 --> 00:37:04,180
Very well.
And now I have news
642
00:37:04,210 --> 00:37:06,310
that should be more
to you liking.
643
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:13,410
I fear, in confidence, our
uneasy armistice with Spain is doomed.
644
00:37:13,450 --> 00:37:14,410
My colonelcy?
645
00:37:14,450 --> 00:37:16,670
You commission has been prepared.
646
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:18,890
Oh, thank you, uncle, thank you.
647
00:37:19,230 --> 00:37:20,630
Oh, one thing more.
648
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,600
Last night at the theater,
the duel in rhyme,
649
00:37:24,790 --> 00:37:26,970
that guardsman with a nose.
650
00:37:27,010 --> 00:37:30,240
- Bergerac, that impossible Gascon.
- Yes, impossible.
651
00:37:30,260 --> 00:37:32,300
- His treatment of Montfleury.
- Abominable.
652
00:37:32,330 --> 00:37:35,230
- The arrogance with which he closed the play.
- Incredible.
653
00:37:35,260 --> 00:37:38,130
- It will be a miracle if the Vicomte survives.
- A sorrow.
654
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,720
What will you do
with him, Your Eminence?
655
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,100
I? Nothing.
656
00:37:41,140 --> 00:37:43,290
I thought I might
leave that to you.
657
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,500
To me?
658
00:37:44,530 --> 00:37:48,270
Yes. Place him somewhere
in your service,
659
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:49,890
with a comfortable allowance.
660
00:37:49,930 --> 00:37:51,390
He looked a little threadbare.
661
00:37:51,430 --> 00:37:55,020
I...You...But, Your Eminence.
You detest dueling.
662
00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:55,960
Of course I do.
663
00:37:56,350 --> 00:37:58,070
Why didn't you prevent it?
664
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,350
I should much prefer
that monsieur de Beregrac
665
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,300
live by the pen,
rather than die by the sword.
666
00:38:06,590 --> 00:38:08,470
Do you not agree, Antoine?
667
00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:12,560
By all means, Your Eminence.
By all means.
668
00:38:14,830 --> 00:38:21,650
'And then, as I end the refrain...
thrust home.'
669
00:38:24,790 --> 00:38:28,740
(Carousing at Ragueneau's)
670
00:38:33,220 --> 00:38:39,860
(noisy celebration of Cyrano's
defeat of 'a hundred' ruffians)
671
00:38:44,210 --> 00:38:46,580
(Antoine Comte de Guiche enters)
672
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:48,620
Monsieur de Bergerac.
673
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,390
Your Excellency.
674
00:38:51,970 --> 00:38:54,750
I have come to express my....
675
00:38:54,790 --> 00:38:58,550
admiration for both
your exploits last night.
676
00:38:58,590 --> 00:39:01,290
Indeed. Thank you.
677
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,900
My dear fellow,
we may have had our differences,
678
00:39:04,930 --> 00:39:07,550
but I am disposed
to forget them.
679
00:39:07,570 --> 00:39:09,710
That is very generous
of you, sir.
680
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:10,560
No, truly.
681
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,970
You are, it seems, a man
of many skills.
682
00:39:14,010 --> 00:39:17,350
A rare combination
soldier and poet.
683
00:39:18,060 --> 00:39:21,750
- Would you care to join my following?
- No, sir.
684
00:39:21,790 --> 00:39:23,260
I do not follow.
685
00:39:23,770 --> 00:39:25,980
I am told you have
written a play.
686
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,510
As you know, my uncle,
the Cardinal, is also a dramatist.
687
00:39:29,540 --> 00:39:30,990
I might help you there.
688
00:39:31,150 --> 00:39:34,050
Cyrano, now at last
you can have it performed.
689
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,200
Why not?
690
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:36,620
I could take it to him.
691
00:39:37,860 --> 00:39:39,330
Really?
692
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,460
Of course.
Let him rewrite a few lines
693
00:39:41,490 --> 00:39:43,770
here and there, and
he'll find a theater for you.
694
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,230
Rewrite...my lines?
695
00:39:47,670 --> 00:39:49,150
Impossible.
696
00:39:49,190 --> 00:39:52,040
Uh, when he likes a thing,
he pays well.
697
00:39:52,070 --> 00:39:53,240
Yes, but not so well as I.
698
00:39:53,270 --> 00:39:55,460
When I have made a line
that sings itself
699
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:57,220
I pay myself a hundred times.
700
00:39:57,250 --> 00:39:58,940
You are proud, my friend.
701
00:39:58,970 --> 00:40:00,020
You have observed that?
702
00:40:00,060 --> 00:40:02,460
- Cyrano.
See what we found in the street.
703
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:05,140
Plumes dropped in their flight
by those fine birds
704
00:40:05,170 --> 00:40:06,860
who showed their
tail feathers!
705
00:40:06,890 --> 00:40:08,590
(laughter)
706
00:40:08,620 --> 00:40:10,180
The man who hired
those scoundrels,
707
00:40:10,210 --> 00:40:12,010
he must be an
angry man today.
708
00:40:12,050 --> 00:40:13,430
Who was it?
Do you know?
709
00:40:13,850 --> 00:40:14,790
It was I.
710
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,870
I hired them to do the sort
of work we do not soil our hands with.
711
00:40:20,660 --> 00:40:22,940
Punishing an insolent poet.
712
00:40:22,970 --> 00:40:25,610
They ought to be mounted
before they spoil.
713
00:40:25,650 --> 00:40:27,850
(laughter)
What shall we do with them?
714
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:36,460
Sir, will you not return these
to your friends?
715
00:40:40,310 --> 00:40:42,190
Have you read Don Quixote?
716
00:40:42,230 --> 00:40:44,650
I have and found
myself the hero.
717
00:40:44,690 --> 00:40:47,770
Be so good as to read once more
the capture of the windmills.
718
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,010
Chapter 13.
719
00:40:50,150 --> 00:40:52,200
Windmills, remember,
if you fight with them...
720
00:40:52,230 --> 00:40:56,590
may swing round their huge arms
and cast you down into the mire.
721
00:40:56,630 --> 00:40:59,010
Or up among the stars.
722
00:41:01,250 --> 00:41:01,970
Gentlemen.
723
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:03,320
Gentlemen.
724
00:41:03,570 --> 00:41:04,550
Gentlemen.
725
00:41:05,220 --> 00:41:06,610
You've done it, now.
726
00:41:06,650 --> 00:41:07,860
You've made your fortune.
727
00:41:07,890 --> 00:41:09,070
He was willing to forget.
728
00:41:09,490 --> 00:41:11,180
There you go again, growling.
729
00:41:11,210 --> 00:41:13,460
Yesss,
this latest pose of yours,
730
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:16,070
ruining every opportunity
that comes you way,
731
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:17,100
becomes exaggerated.
732
00:41:17,140 --> 00:41:18,250
Very well, then, I exaggerate.
733
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:19,710
There are certain things
in this world
734
00:41:19,740 --> 00:41:21,100
a man does well
to carry to extremes.
735
00:41:21,140 --> 00:41:23,710
Your precious independence.
Your white plume.
736
00:41:23,740 --> 00:41:25,410
How do you expect
to succeed in life?
737
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,400
What would you have me do?
738
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,590
Seek for the patronage
of some great man
739
00:41:28,630 --> 00:41:31,880
and like a creeping vine
on a tall tree crawl upward
740
00:41:31,910 --> 00:41:33,520
where I cannot stand alone?
741
00:41:33,940 --> 00:41:34,850
No, thank you.
742
00:41:35,210 --> 00:41:39,880
Be a buffoon in the vile hope
of teasing out a smile on some cold face.
743
00:41:40,340 --> 00:41:41,710
No, thank you.
744
00:41:42,050 --> 00:41:44,260
Eat a toad for breakfast
every morning.
745
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:47,530
Make my knees calloused.
Cultivate a supple spine.
746
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,320
Wear out my belly
groveling in the dust.
747
00:41:49,590 --> 00:41:50,400
No, thank you.
748
00:41:50,860 --> 00:41:54,880
With my left hand scratch the back
of any swine that roots up gold for me
749
00:41:54,910 --> 00:41:58,910
while my right, too proud to know
his partner's business, takes in the fee.
750
00:41:58,940 --> 00:41:59,920
No, thank you.
751
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,810
Shall I use the fire God gave me
to burn incense all day long?
752
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,020
No, thank you.
753
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,410
Struggle to insinuate my name
into the columns of the Gazette?
754
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:13,250
Calculate, scheme, be afraid?
Love more to make a visit than a poem?
755
00:42:13,290 --> 00:42:15,990
Seek introductions, favors,
influences?
756
00:42:16,020 --> 00:42:17,050
No, thank you.
757
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,270
No, I thank you, and
again I thank you.
758
00:42:23,930 --> 00:42:30,320
But, to sing, to laugh, to dream,
to walk in my own way,
759
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,510
free with and eye
to see things as they are.
760
00:42:33,380 --> 00:42:35,240
A voice that means manhood.
761
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,640
To cut my have
the right shoes.
762
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:46,150
And a word, a yes, a no,
to fight, or write,
763
00:42:46,830 --> 00:42:48,440
but never to make
a line I have not heard
764
00:42:48,470 --> 00:42:49,780
in my own heart.
765
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,380
To travel any
road under the sun,
766
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,780
under the stars,
767
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,520
nor care if fame or fortune
lie beyond the bourne.
768
00:43:00,370 --> 00:43:02,250
Yet, with all modesty to say,
769
00:43:03,250 --> 00:43:05,830
my soul be satisfied
with flowers,
770
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:08,000
with weeds,
771
00:43:09,210 --> 00:43:10,840
with thorns, even,
772
00:43:11,910 --> 00:43:14,940
but gather them in the one garden
you may call your own.
773
00:43:16,230 --> 00:43:18,450
In a word, I'm too proud
to be a parasite.
774
00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:21,470
And if mine intellect the germ
that grows towering to heaven
775
00:43:21,500 --> 00:43:22,770
like the mountain pine
776
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,570
I stand not high, it may be,
777
00:43:27,260 --> 00:43:28,460
but alone.
778
00:43:28,500 --> 00:43:31,170
Alone, yes, but why
go about making enemies?
779
00:43:32,100 --> 00:43:35,850
Watching other people
making friends...everywhere,
780
00:43:35,890 --> 00:43:37,980
as a dog makes friends.
781
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,550
I mark the manner of
these canine courtesies,
782
00:43:41,580 --> 00:43:46,770
and think, here comes,
thank heaven, another enemy.
783
00:43:46,810 --> 00:43:52,760
Yes, tell this to all the world,
and then to me say very softly
784
00:43:52,790 --> 00:43:55,540
that she loves you not.
785
00:43:58,830 --> 00:44:00,940
Let me be alone
for a moment.
786
00:44:03,990 --> 00:44:05,050
Cyrano, wait.
787
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,760
Give us your story
of the fight.
788
00:44:07,530 --> 00:44:08,400
Presently.
789
00:44:08,430 --> 00:44:10,010
No, the story, now!
790
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,970
Oh, let him alone.
There's time enough.
791
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,360
I want it now!
792
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,090
As an example for that young
tadpole sneaking out the doorway.
793
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,040
You, there.
794
00:44:25,310 --> 00:44:26,820
Are you addressing me?
795
00:44:28,190 --> 00:44:32,770
Yes, you flat-footed
Norman farmer.
796
00:44:36,190 --> 00:44:37,470
You wish something of me?
797
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:39,950
Listen, Monsieur de...de...de
whatever your name is.
798
00:44:39,980 --> 00:44:40,920
de Neuvillette!
799
00:44:41,090 --> 00:44:43,230
Baron Christan de Neuvillette.
800
00:44:43,270 --> 00:44:45,370
Very well, de Neuvillette.
801
00:44:45,670 --> 00:44:48,080
As you are a newcomer here,
you should know there is a
802
00:44:48,110 --> 00:44:52,300
certain subject or object, if you prefer,
that is never mentioned among us.
803
00:44:52,340 --> 00:44:53,340
And that is....?
804
00:44:53,370 --> 00:44:54,500
Look at me!
805
00:44:54,540 --> 00:44:55,980
(touching his nose)
806
00:44:56,020 --> 00:44:57,360
You understand?
807
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:58,670
You mean....?
808
00:44:58,700 --> 00:45:01,090
Thus we never speak that word.
809
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,390
To even breathe it is
to have to do with him.
810
00:45:04,420 --> 00:45:08,760
He has exterminated several
whose mere tone of voice suggested...
811
00:45:08,790 --> 00:45:12,920
Would you die before your time?
Just mention anything convex.
812
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,530
Or cartilaginous.
813
00:45:14,570 --> 00:45:18,540
One word. One syllable.
One gesture. Nay, one sneeze.
814
00:45:18,570 --> 00:45:21,330
And your handkerchief
becomes your winding sheet.
815
00:45:24,110 --> 00:45:24,920
Captain.
816
00:45:25,430 --> 00:45:26,290
Sir?
817
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:30,090
What is the proper thing to do
when Gascons grow too boastful?
818
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,820
Prove to them that one may
be a Norman and still have courage.
819
00:45:33,850 --> 00:45:35,100
I thank you.
820
00:45:41,330 --> 00:45:43,360
Come on, Cyrano, your story.
821
00:45:44,420 --> 00:45:47,330
(shouts of encouragement)
822
00:45:47,740 --> 00:45:49,540
Now, let me see.
Where shall we begin?
823
00:45:50,450 --> 00:45:52,510
I followed with our host
to meet those scoundrels
824
00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:53,640
not knowing where
they might attack.
825
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,340
No lamps in those narrow
back streets.
826
00:45:57,500 --> 00:45:58,600
No moon in the sky.
827
00:45:59,340 --> 00:46:01,220
Dark. Everything dark.
828
00:46:01,430 --> 00:46:04,040
It was so dark, Mon Dieux,
you could not see beyond...
829
00:46:04,070 --> 00:46:05,470
Your nose!
830
00:46:05,850 --> 00:46:08,480
(Christian shows his courage.)
831
00:46:25,250 --> 00:46:33,250
Who...is that...man...there?
832
00:46:34,260 --> 00:46:35,380
- A new recruit.
833
00:46:36,070 --> 00:46:37,550
- Arrived last week.
834
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,080
A recruit, eh?
835
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:41,940
Ha, ha---.
836
00:46:41,970 --> 00:46:45,320
His name is Christian de Neuvillette.
837
00:46:45,350 --> 00:46:48,660
(Cyrano remembers his
promise to Roxane.)
838
00:46:58,510 --> 00:46:59,570
I see.
839
00:47:02,670 --> 00:47:03,510
Very well.
840
00:47:04,850 --> 00:47:06,470
As I was saying.
841
00:47:10,830 --> 00:47:11,930
It grew dark.
842
00:47:12,460 --> 00:47:15,180
You could not see
your hand before your eyes.
843
00:47:16,310 --> 00:47:19,470
I marched on thinking our all for
the sake of one amateur poet
844
00:47:19,510 --> 00:47:22,660
- who wrote a verse whenever he took a..
- A nose full.
845
00:47:24,370 --> 00:47:25,770
...whenever he took a notion.,
846
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,600
and might antagonize
some dangerous man.
847
00:47:28,630 --> 00:47:30,830
One powerful enough
to make me pay...
848
00:47:30,860 --> 00:47:31,980
Through the nose!
849
00:47:32,010 --> 00:47:33,090
...pay the piper!
850
00:47:33,410 --> 00:47:35,430
After all, I thought,
why am I putting in my..
851
00:47:35,470 --> 00:47:36,310
- Nose!
852
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:39,170
...putting in my oar in a quarrel
that was none of mine,
853
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,240
however now that I am here,
I may as well go through with it.
854
00:47:41,270 --> 00:47:42,840
Come Gascon, do your duty.
855
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,850
Suddenly a sword
flashed in the dark!
856
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:45,810
I caught it fair...
857
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:46,810
On the nose!
858
00:47:47,940 --> 00:47:49,130
...on my blade!
859
00:47:49,170 --> 00:47:50,530
Before I knew it,
there I was...
860
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:51,690
Rubbing noses!
861
00:47:51,730 --> 00:47:53,840
...crossing swords with
harvard's joy once.
862
00:47:53,870 --> 00:47:54,940
I had the bottom then...
863
00:47:54,980 --> 00:47:55,900
A nosegay!
864
00:47:55,940 --> 00:47:57,160
...a monstrous crab tree.
865
00:47:57,610 --> 00:48:00,170
(breathing heavily)
He went down for as a wave.
866
00:48:00,380 --> 00:48:00,990
I charged...
867
00:48:01,030 --> 00:48:02,590
Who was in the air hard.
868
00:48:02,620 --> 00:48:03,450
...at the two of them.
869
00:48:04,750 --> 00:48:05,900
Another lunged,
and I parried...
870
00:48:05,940 --> 00:48:07,220
Through your nose!
871
00:48:07,250 --> 00:48:09,310
Right out of here!
All of you go!
872
00:48:09,340 --> 00:48:10,120
Leave me with him.
873
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,660
To my arms, sir.
You have courage.
874
00:48:28,690 --> 00:48:29,880
- That pleases me.
- Why?
875
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,820
Come, do you not know
I am her brother?
876
00:48:31,850 --> 00:48:32,460
Whose?
877
00:48:32,500 --> 00:48:34,250
Hers. Roxane.
878
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:38,390
Brother?
879
00:48:39,260 --> 00:48:40,170
You?
880
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,150
Well, a distant cousin.
Much the same.
881
00:48:42,510 --> 00:48:44,450
- Then she has told you?
- Everything.
882
00:48:44,580 --> 00:48:46,680
- She loves me?
- Perhaps.
883
00:48:47,610 --> 00:48:49,950
My dear sir, more than I can say.
I am honored.
884
00:48:49,990 --> 00:48:52,040
- Rather sudden.
- Oh, please, forgive me.
885
00:48:52,260 --> 00:48:54,270
If you knew how
much I have admired you.
886
00:48:54,310 --> 00:48:57,620
- Yes, yes, and all those noses.
- Please. I apologize.
887
00:48:59,060 --> 00:49:00,680
Roxane expects a letter.
888
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:02,300
- From me?
- Yes, why not?
889
00:49:02,340 --> 00:49:03,180
Oh,, No.
890
00:49:03,530 --> 00:49:05,880
- Once I write, that ruins everything.
- Why?
891
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,020
Because, any schoolboy can write
to her more gracefully than I.
892
00:49:09,590 --> 00:49:10,730
A fool!
893
00:49:10,900 --> 00:49:14,560
- You did not attack me like a fool.
- Anyone can pick a quarrel.
894
00:49:14,740 --> 00:49:16,580
No, I'm never at loss
for words among men,
895
00:49:16,610 --> 00:49:21,260
but with any women...
paralyzed...speechless, dumb.
896
00:49:21,460 --> 00:49:23,600
I'm one of those
stammering idiots
897
00:49:23,630 --> 00:49:25,270
who can not court a woman.
898
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:26,170
Really?
899
00:49:26,810 --> 00:49:28,700
As for myself,
it seems to me that
900
00:49:28,730 --> 00:49:32,300
given the opportunity,
and if I put my mind to it,
901
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,390
I could do that..
rather well.
902
00:49:35,420 --> 00:49:37,870
Oh, is I had words to say
what I have here!
903
00:49:37,900 --> 00:49:39,450
If I were handsome
like you.
904
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,780
Together, we could make
one mighty hero of romance.
905
00:49:43,820 --> 00:49:45,330
If only I had your wit.
906
00:49:50,570 --> 00:49:51,710
Borrow it, then.
907
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:53,150
What?
908
00:49:54,670 --> 00:49:55,490
Tell me,
909
00:49:56,910 --> 00:49:59,770
would you dare repeat to her
the words I gave you day by day?
910
00:50:00,330 --> 00:50:02,420
Send to her
the letters that I write?
911
00:50:02,460 --> 00:50:04,800
I mean, that Roxane
should have no disillusionment.
912
00:50:05,180 --> 00:50:06,820
Come, shall we win her
both together?
913
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:07,800
For you?
914
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,970
- Why, Cyrano...
- Christian, why not?
915
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,850
I...I'm afraid.
916
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,030
Afraid that when you
have her all alone, you will lose her.
917
00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:16,420
Have not fear,
it is your self she loves.
918
00:50:16,450 --> 00:50:17,920
Give her yourself.
919
00:50:17,950 --> 00:50:23,670
Put into words,
my words...upon your lips.
920
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:25,180
Will you?
921
00:50:26,780 --> 00:50:28,030
Will you?
922
00:50:28,910 --> 00:50:30,740
Does it mean
so much to you?
923
00:50:30,770 --> 00:50:32,360
It means....
924
00:50:34,110 --> 00:50:37,060
It means a comedy,
a situation for a poet.
925
00:50:37,190 --> 00:50:38,350
Come, shall we collaborate?
926
00:50:38,390 --> 00:50:42,420
I'll be your cloak of darkness,
your enchanted sword,
927
00:50:42,460 --> 00:50:45,330
your ring to charm
the fairy princess.
928
00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:49,180
Think!
Is the prize not worth the danger?
929
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:52,980
My friend!
930
00:50:54,620 --> 00:50:55,740
My friend.
931
00:50:56,890 --> 00:51:00,100
Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
932
00:51:00,350 --> 00:51:03,650
Plucking the flowers,
we will keep the plant in bloom.
933
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,010
Thus do I love thee,
my darling.
934
00:51:08,890 --> 00:51:09,670
Idiot.
935
00:51:09,910 --> 00:51:12,200
There are a dozen
ways to read that line.
936
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:14,500
Can't you give it some meaning?
Any meaning!
937
00:51:14,530 --> 00:51:15,950
THUS do I love thee!
938
00:51:15,980 --> 00:51:17,280
Thus do "I" love thee.
939
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:18,550
Thus do I LOVE thee.
940
00:51:18,580 --> 00:51:20,930
Thus do I love THEE,
THEE, THEE.
941
00:51:22,580 --> 00:51:25,680
Who knows your smile
has known a perfect thing.
942
00:51:25,710 --> 00:51:28,400
You are a white rose,
wherein love lies in ambush
943
00:51:28,430 --> 00:51:30,180
for its natural prey.
944
00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:33,760
In the garden of my heart,
you are the most...
945
00:51:33,930 --> 00:51:35,680
eh, the most....
946
00:51:37,450 --> 00:51:39,750
fragrant blossom.
947
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,780
As the tender sapling
thirsts for rain,
948
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,900
as the eagle seeks the sky,
949
00:51:48,030 --> 00:51:51,050
as the wave
hurtles toward the shore,
950
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,990
my heart yearns for you.
951
00:51:54,460 --> 00:51:55,820
Good, good.
952
00:51:55,970 --> 00:51:58,740
You know, you're beginning
to have a feel for words.
953
00:51:58,770 --> 00:52:02,010
- Words. I'm sick of words.
- Those are your weapons.
954
00:52:02,050 --> 00:52:03,190
How else do you conquer?
955
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,130
Yes, but when, when?
956
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,190
They're fighting in the north, now.
You know that.
957
00:52:06,230 --> 00:52:07,690
The Regiment will be
called up any day,
958
00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:08,840
and I've never
even kissed her.
959
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,940
Patience, my boy, patience.
960
00:52:11,980 --> 00:52:13,110
I've been patient.
961
00:52:13,140 --> 00:52:16,280
Why, she sees the Compte de Guiche
as often as she does me.
962
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,120
Do you suppose
she's playing with me?
963
00:52:21,260 --> 00:52:22,500
Making a fool of me?
964
00:52:23,850 --> 00:52:24,880
Impossible.
965
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,210
How can you say?
How do you know?
966
00:52:27,210 --> 00:52:31,390
Cyrano, you have her confidence.
You could find out.
967
00:52:39,300 --> 00:52:40,690
Nonsense, I say.
968
00:52:42,260 --> 00:52:43,440
Oh, very well.
969
00:52:43,870 --> 00:52:45,190
I'll scout the terrain.
970
00:52:45,230 --> 00:52:47,200
Listen, Cyrano,
intelligently, discreetly.
971
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:48,160
Yes.
972
00:52:48,190 --> 00:52:49,340
With finesse.
973
00:52:52,010 --> 00:52:55,510
And, uh, what do you think
of Christian after all these weeks?
974
00:52:55,620 --> 00:52:58,030
He is beautiful,
but he's brilliant.
975
00:52:58,070 --> 00:52:59,760
- And I love him.
- Good!
976
00:52:59,870 --> 00:53:01,750
Uh, do you find him intellectual?
977
00:53:01,790 --> 00:53:03,600
- More so than you, even.
- Huh?
978
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,470
- Oh, I didn't mean.
- No, no, no, I am glad.
979
00:53:06,500 --> 00:53:09,290
No man ever so beautifully
said those things.
980
00:53:09,330 --> 00:53:11,900
Those pretty nothings
to everything.
981
00:53:12,310 --> 00:53:15,780
Sometimes, he,. he, he falls
into a reverie.
982
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,110
His inspiration..fails.
983
00:53:20,050 --> 00:53:23,940
But, then all at once,
he will say something absolutely...
984
00:53:23,980 --> 00:53:25,370
Ah!
985
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:26,760
Really?
986
00:53:27,470 --> 00:53:28,910
How like a man!
987
00:53:28,940 --> 00:53:32,220
You think because a man
has a handsome face he must be a fool.
988
00:53:33,330 --> 00:53:34,790
Not necessarily.
989
00:53:34,830 --> 00:53:38,410
Uh, he talks well about, uh,
matters of the heart?
990
00:53:38,450 --> 00:53:42,420
He does not talk.
He rhapsodizes. He dreams.
991
00:53:42,460 --> 00:53:46,360
Only the other night he said to me,
extemporaneously, mind you.
992
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:47,220
Oh, of course.
993
00:53:47,980 --> 00:53:50,660
'Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
994
00:53:50,700 --> 00:53:54,760
'Plucking the flowers
we will keep the plants in bloom.'
995
00:53:55,720 --> 00:53:56,730
Well?
996
00:53:56,770 --> 00:53:58,530
Umm, passable.
997
00:53:58,950 --> 00:54:00,010
He writes well?
998
00:54:00,050 --> 00:54:02,080
Wonderfully, listen:
999
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,510
'Knowing you have in store
more heart to give
1000
00:54:05,550 --> 00:54:08,160
- 'than I to find heart room...'
- The first he has too much heart,
1001
00:54:08,190 --> 00:54:10,400
then too little. Just how much heart
does he need?
1002
00:54:10,470 --> 00:54:11,740
You are teasing.
1003
00:54:11,870 --> 00:54:12,870
You are jealous!
1004
00:54:12,910 --> 00:54:13,690
Jealous?
1005
00:54:13,730 --> 00:54:14,440
Yes.
1006
00:54:14,470 --> 00:54:15,840
Poets are all alike.
1007
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:19,660
Would you dare
criticize these lines?
1008
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:25,100
'Only believe that unto you
my whole heart gives one cry.
1009
00:54:25,540 --> 00:54:29,470
'And writing, writes down
more than you receive.
1010
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,010
'Sending you kisses
through my fingertips.
1011
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,020
'Lady, oh, read my letter
with your lips.'
1012
00:54:39,340 --> 00:54:43,820
Yes, those last lines,
but he overwrites.
1013
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:44,970
Listen to this.
1014
00:54:45,010 --> 00:54:46,000
Do you know
them all by heart?
1015
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,070
Every one.
1016
00:54:47,110 --> 00:54:48,500
Well, I may call
that flattering.
1017
00:54:48,530 --> 00:54:49,310
He is a master.
1018
00:54:49,350 --> 00:54:51,850
- Oh, come..
- Yes, a master.
1019
00:54:51,860 --> 00:54:55,270
Huh, a master,...
if you will.
1020
00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:00,520
And, uh, when do you
bestow the laurel wreath?
1021
00:55:00,540 --> 00:55:05,290
How many prodigies of poetry
must this new Hercules perform?
1022
00:55:05,390 --> 00:55:06,490
I do not know.
1023
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:11,580
My friend, you men own the world
and all that's in it.
1024
00:55:12,020 --> 00:55:17,990
Woman is at best a prize, a property
valued much the same as a horse or a dog,
1025
00:55:18,150 --> 00:55:22,010
unlike the pear and sheen of skin
and soundness of teeth and limb.
1026
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:27,870
Well, if I must be chattel,
then the terms shall be mine,
1027
00:55:27,910 --> 00:55:31,480
and the price according
to my own values.
1028
00:55:31,510 --> 00:55:32,670
There.
1029
00:55:34,070 --> 00:55:35,460
I see.
1030
00:55:37,060 --> 00:55:39,880
Christian tells me
that you meet tonight.
1031
00:55:42,510 --> 00:55:45,210
What would you have him
speak about?
1032
00:55:46,230 --> 00:55:47,910
Oh, nothing,
1033
00:55:48,260 --> 00:55:49,530
and everything.
1034
00:55:49,980 --> 00:55:54,140
I shall say, speak to me
of love in your own words.
1035
00:55:54,550 --> 00:55:56,810
Improvise, rhapsodize.
1036
00:55:57,540 --> 00:55:58,790
Be eloquent.
1037
00:55:59,910 --> 00:56:01,540
But you will not tell him,
will you?
1038
00:56:01,570 --> 00:56:03,270
Ah, perish the thought.
1039
00:56:03,590 --> 00:56:06,370
Madame, Compte de Guiche.
1040
00:56:10,720 --> 00:56:12,820
(Sigh)
Madame.
1041
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:16,880
Monsieur.
1042
00:56:17,770 --> 00:56:18,770
Madame.
1043
00:56:21,570 --> 00:56:24,270
Monsieur.
(Crunch)
1044
00:56:33,430 --> 00:56:35,090
- Christian, quick.
- No.
1045
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,030
There's still time to learn your lines.
No.
1046
00:56:37,070 --> 00:56:39,760
I have some brilliant phrases for you,
brilliant, sensitive...
1047
00:56:39,790 --> 00:56:40,500
No.
1048
00:56:41,150 --> 00:56:42,160
I'll have not more of it.
1049
00:56:42,190 --> 00:56:44,250
Taking all my words, my sentences
all from you,
1050
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,490
- making our love a little comedy.
- Don't you real...
1051
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,480
It was a game at first,
but now she cares.
1052
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:49,390
Huh?
1053
00:56:49,430 --> 00:56:50,750
Thanks to you.
Uh.
1054
00:56:50,790 --> 00:56:53,060
I'm not afraid any longer.
I'll speak for myself, now.
1055
00:56:53,090 --> 00:56:53,720
Oh, undoubtedly.
1056
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,990
I will. You shall see!
1057
00:56:56,500 --> 00:56:59,110
Besides, I know enough
to take a woman in my arms,
1058
00:56:59,150 --> 00:57:00,870
and tonight, I will.
1059
00:57:04,070 --> 00:57:05,420
(knocking on door)
- Christian!
1060
00:57:05,450 --> 00:57:07,210
Thank you, my friend,
and goodbye.
1061
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:09,040
- Christian, I beg of you.
- Leave me!
1062
00:57:09,070 --> 00:57:10,830
- You're making a grave error.
- Go away!
1063
00:57:13,540 --> 00:57:14,540
So be it.
1064
00:57:16,950 --> 00:57:18,600
(door opens)
1065
00:57:20,300 --> 00:57:21,440
Christian.
1066
00:57:21,470 --> 00:57:22,580
Roxane.
1067
00:57:23,190 --> 00:57:25,330
I'm so glad you are early.
1068
00:57:26,430 --> 00:57:28,400
Let us stay out here
in the moonlight.
1069
00:57:29,150 --> 00:57:30,490
It's so pleasant.
1070
00:57:32,780 --> 00:57:33,630
Sit down.
1071
00:57:36,450 --> 00:57:37,720
There, so.
1072
00:57:40,770 --> 00:57:43,780
Now, speak to me.
1073
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:45,470
I love you.
1074
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,330
Yes, speak to me of love.
1075
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,390
I...love you.
1076
00:57:53,430 --> 00:57:55,640
Now, be eloquent.
Be brilliant for me.
1077
00:57:56,300 --> 00:57:57,940
Tonight of all nights.
1078
00:57:58,250 --> 00:58:01,560
I love you....so.
1079
00:58:03,610 --> 00:58:07,630
You have your scene.
Now, improvise, rhapsodize.
1080
00:58:07,660 --> 00:58:11,570
I love you...
very much!
1081
00:58:14,500 --> 00:58:17,600
I ask for cream,
and you give me milk and water.
1082
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:22,490
Tell me firstly,
how you love me.
1083
00:58:22,530 --> 00:58:23,780
Very much!
1084
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:26,440
Is that all you feel?
1085
00:58:26,470 --> 00:58:29,360
Your throat, if only
I might kiss it.
1086
00:58:29,390 --> 00:58:30,170
Christian!
1087
00:58:30,210 --> 00:58:31,520
But, Roxane, I love you.
1088
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:32,860
Again.
1089
00:58:32,890 --> 00:58:34,450
No, not again.
I do not love you.
1090
00:58:37,490 --> 00:58:38,540
That is better.
1091
00:58:39,380 --> 00:58:42,870
I...I adore you!
1092
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:43,870
Oh!
1093
00:58:44,570 --> 00:58:46,070
I know I grow absurd.
1094
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:48,870
And that distresses me as much
as if you had grown ugly!
1095
00:58:51,020 --> 00:58:54,910
Please. Gather your dreams
together into words.
1096
00:58:54,950 --> 00:58:57,830
I...um, I...
1097
00:58:57,870 --> 00:59:00,280
I know. You love me!
Good night!
1098
00:59:00,310 --> 00:59:01,440
Oh, but wait, please!
1099
00:59:01,470 --> 00:59:02,530
I was going to say...
1100
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:04,510
That you adore me.
Yes, I know that, too.
1101
00:59:04,540 --> 00:59:06,720
-No, go away.
- I....
1102
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,290
(door slams shut)
1103
00:59:25,170 --> 00:59:28,330
(Cyrano claps his hands)
1104
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:29,870
A great success.
1105
00:59:30,940 --> 00:59:31,720
Help me.
1106
00:59:31,750 --> 00:59:33,620
Not I.
Speak for yourself, my friend.
1107
00:59:33,660 --> 00:59:35,220
Why I...I can't.
1108
00:59:35,250 --> 00:59:38,040
Well, at least you know enough
to take a woman in your arms.
1109
00:59:38,070 --> 00:59:39,680
Oh, Cyrano, please!
1110
00:59:39,790 --> 00:59:41,610
What, and make your love
a little comedy.
1111
00:59:41,650 --> 00:59:44,060
Cyrano, I cannot live
unless I win her back, now.
1112
00:59:44,100 --> 00:59:44,610
This moment!
1113
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,890
This moment. How the devil
am I to teach you now, this mo...
1114
00:59:47,980 --> 00:59:48,940
(Christian)
Her window.
1115
00:59:49,510 --> 00:59:51,690
- Help me, Cyrano, help me.
- Shhhh.
1116
00:59:53,290 --> 00:59:54,800
(Cyrano)
It does seem fairly dark.
1117
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:55,780
(Christian)
Well? Well?
1118
00:59:57,490 --> 00:59:59,190
(Cyrano)
It is more than
you deserve.
1119
01:00:00,550 --> 01:00:02,010
(Cyrano)
I must try out what
can be done.
1120
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:03,040
(Cyrano)
Stand over there.
1121
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,500
(Cyrano)
Idiot, here, before the balcony.
I'll whisper you what to say.
1122
01:00:09,540 --> 01:00:11,380
- She'll hear..
- Shhhh. Call her.
1123
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:13,690
(Christian)
Roxane.
1124
01:00:14,950 --> 01:00:17,330
(Christian louder)
Roxane.
1125
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,220
(balcony window opens)
1126
01:00:21,690 --> 01:00:22,760
Who's calling?
1127
01:00:23,430 --> 01:00:24,240
Christian.
1128
01:00:24,570 --> 01:00:25,670
You again.
1129
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:27,420
I...had to tell you.
1130
01:00:27,710 --> 01:00:29,340
No. Go away.
You tell me nothing.
1131
01:00:29,370 --> 01:00:30,390
Please.
1132
01:00:30,430 --> 01:00:32,240
You do not
love me anymore.
1133
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:34,810
(Christian copies Cyrano)
No, not anymore.
1134
01:00:35,530 --> 01:00:37,340
I love you evermore,
1135
01:00:38,150 --> 01:00:40,050
and evermore and more.
1136
01:00:41,190 --> 01:00:42,640
Oh, a little better.
1137
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,160
Love grows and struggles
like an angry child.
1138
01:00:48,710 --> 01:00:50,620
Breaking my heart.
1139
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,070
His cradle...
1140
01:00:53,110 --> 01:00:54,630
Better still.
1141
01:00:55,230 --> 01:00:57,390
But such a babe is dangerous.
1142
01:00:57,910 --> 01:01:00,140
Why not have
smothered it newborn?
1143
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:03,290
And so I do.
1144
01:01:03,650 --> 01:01:05,290
And yet he lives.
1145
01:01:06,340 --> 01:01:08,910
I found as you sha...
you shall find
1146
01:01:10,250 --> 01:01:14,400
this newborn babe...
and infant Hercules!
1147
01:01:14,900 --> 01:01:15,430
Good.
1148
01:01:15,460 --> 01:01:16,820
Strong enough at birth
1149
01:01:17,740 --> 01:01:19,600
to strangle
those two serpents
1150
01:01:20,010 --> 01:01:20,550
doubt and
1151
01:01:20,590 --> 01:01:21,090
<i>What?</i>
1152
01:01:21,250 --> 01:01:22,600
pride!
1153
01:01:23,410 --> 01:01:24,440
Why, very good.
1154
01:01:25,330 --> 01:01:27,880
Only, tell me why
you speak so haltingly.
1155
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,580
Has your imagination
gone....lame?
1156
01:01:33,260 --> 01:01:35,130
(Cyrano)
This grows too difficult.
1157
01:01:35,530 --> 01:01:38,320
Your words tonight
hesitate, why?
1158
01:01:38,630 --> 01:01:42,970
Through the warm summer gloom,
they grope in darkness
1159
01:01:43,170 --> 01:01:44,690
toward the light of you.
1160
01:01:46,010 --> 01:01:47,860
My words are
heavy with honey,
1161
01:01:47,900 --> 01:01:49,360
like returning bees.
1162
01:01:50,190 --> 01:01:52,310
Yet they must fly so high.
1163
01:01:52,530 --> 01:01:54,140
Come nearer then.
Stand you on the bench.
1164
01:01:54,170 --> 01:01:55,000
No.
1165
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:56,190
Then I'll come down.
1166
01:01:56,230 --> 01:01:57,110
NO!
1167
01:01:57,570 --> 01:01:59,380
And why so great a no?
1168
01:02:00,490 --> 01:02:02,920
Let me enjoy the one
moment I ever...
1169
01:02:03,710 --> 01:02:07,110
My one chance
to speak to you...unseen.
1170
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:08,290
Unseen?
1171
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:09,740
Yes. Yes.
1172
01:02:10,070 --> 01:02:12,380
Night making all things
dimly beautiful
1173
01:02:12,410 --> 01:02:13,770
one veil over us both.
1174
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,040
You need no eyes
to hear my heart.
1175
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:20,410
Oh, tonight, let it seem as if
I speak for the first time.
1176
01:02:21,150 --> 01:02:22,110
For the first time?
1177
01:02:22,140 --> 01:02:23,000
Yes.
1178
01:02:23,940 --> 01:02:25,780
Your voice, even,
is not the same.
1179
01:02:25,810 --> 01:02:26,990
How should it be.
1180
01:02:27,030 --> 01:02:28,450
I have another
voice tonight.
1181
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:31,250
My own, myself,... daring!
1182
01:02:31,610 --> 01:02:32,610
Why daring?
1183
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,600
Because, what am I, what is any man
would he dare ask for you?
1184
01:02:36,630 --> 01:02:40,780
Therefore my heart has hidden behind
poetic words and tinsel phrases.
1185
01:02:41,260 --> 01:02:43,640
But are they not sweet,
those pretty phrases?
1186
01:02:43,670 --> 01:02:45,630
Not enough sweet
for you and me tonight.
1187
01:02:47,530 --> 01:02:49,240
You never spoke
to me like this.
1188
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,510
I tell you, there comes
one moment, once,
1189
01:02:51,540 --> 01:02:53,800
and heaven help those
who pass that moment by,
1190
01:02:53,830 --> 01:02:56,110
when beauty stands
looking into the soul
1191
01:02:56,150 --> 01:03:01,810
with grave, sweet eyes,
that sicken at pretty words.
1192
01:03:02,650 --> 01:03:06,260
Yes...that is love.
1193
01:03:06,290 --> 01:03:07,010
Love.
1194
01:03:07,050 --> 01:03:09,260
A love beyond breath,
beyond reason,
1195
01:03:09,290 --> 01:03:11,590
beyond love's own
power of loving.
1196
01:03:11,630 --> 01:03:14,200
Your name is like a golden bell
hung in my heart,
1197
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:18,450
and when I think of you I tremble,
and the bell swings and rings,
1198
01:03:18,610 --> 01:03:28,580
Roxane! Roxane!
Along my veins...Roxane.
1199
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,970
Yes...that is love.
1200
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,770
(Cyrano)
Yes...that is love.
1201
01:03:36,090 --> 01:03:38,920
That wind of terrible
and jealous beauty,
1202
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:44,200
that dark fire,
that soaring, blinding music.
1203
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,690
Yet, you may take my happiness
to make you happier
1204
01:03:47,730 --> 01:03:49,410
even though you
never know I gave it to you.
1205
01:03:49,940 --> 01:03:55,700
Only let me hear, sometimes, all alone,
the distant laughter of your joy.
1206
01:03:56,740 --> 01:03:58,470
Do you begin
to understand a little?
1207
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,200
Can you feel my soul there
in the darkness breathe on you?
1208
01:04:03,230 --> 01:04:06,630
Oh, only tonight,
now I dare say these things.
1209
01:04:06,790 --> 01:04:09,400
I to you, and you hear them.
1210
01:04:10,030 --> 01:04:12,650
It is my voice, mine, my own
that makes you tremble
1211
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,390
there in the green gloom,
above me, for you do tremble
1212
01:04:15,430 --> 01:04:18,110
as a blossom among the leaves,
you tremble, and I can feel
1213
01:04:18,140 --> 01:04:19,670
all the way down along
this jasmine branch
1214
01:04:19,710 --> 01:04:23,700
whether you will unhold
the passion of you trembling.
1215
01:04:24,340 --> 01:04:25,960
Yes, I do tremble.
1216
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,880
And I weep, and I love you,
and I am yours,
1217
01:04:29,910 --> 01:04:31,720
and you have made me thus.
1218
01:04:36,710 --> 01:04:38,250
I have done this to you.
1219
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,380
I myself.
1220
01:04:44,970 --> 01:04:47,240
Only let me ask
one thing more.
1221
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:48,900
I want a kiss!
1222
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:52,080
You ask me for...
1223
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:53,060
I...yes.
1224
01:04:53,100 --> 01:04:54,260
That is to say...
1225
01:04:54,780 --> 01:04:55,770
I mean...
1226
01:04:56,140 --> 01:04:57,450
You've gone too far.
1227
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,370
If she's willing, why
not make the most of it?
1228
01:04:59,410 --> 01:05:04,270
I, I ask.
I know I ask too much.
1229
01:05:05,150 --> 01:05:06,420
Only one?
1230
01:05:07,550 --> 01:05:08,630
Is that all?
1231
01:05:09,150 --> 01:05:12,210
All?
How much more than all?
1232
01:05:12,250 --> 01:05:16,030
I know I startle you,
I...I ask, I ask you to refuse.
1233
01:05:16,070 --> 01:05:17,200
Why? Why? Why?
1234
01:05:17,230 --> 01:05:18,350
Christian, be quiet.
1235
01:05:18,390 --> 01:05:19,430
What is that your say?
1236
01:05:19,470 --> 01:05:21,810
I am angry with myself,
because I know I go too far
1237
01:05:21,850 --> 01:05:26,270
and so I say to myself,
CHRISTIAN, BE QUIET!
1238
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:28,300
Watch it, someone comes.
1239
01:05:36,390 --> 01:05:39,180
Well, sir, I am looking
for the house of madame Roxane Robin.
1240
01:05:39,220 --> 01:05:43,450
This is not the house. That way.
To the right. Keep to the right.
1241
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:44,330
I thank you sir.
1242
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,880
I shall say my beads for you
to the very last bead.
1243
01:05:49,340 --> 01:05:50,680
Win me that kiss?
1244
01:05:51,370 --> 01:05:52,070
No!
1245
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:53,780
Sooner or later.
1246
01:05:59,170 --> 01:06:00,510
So that is true.
1247
01:06:01,460 --> 01:06:07,540
Sooner or later must be so, because,
she is young, and you are handsome.
1248
01:06:09,170 --> 01:06:15,240
Since it must be, I'd rather be
myself the cause, if it must be.
1249
01:06:16,990 --> 01:06:19,620
(balcony window opens)
1250
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:24,660
Are you still there?
1251
01:06:24,690 --> 01:06:25,470
(Cyrano)
Yes.
1252
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:28,740
We were speaking of...
1253
01:06:30,090 --> 01:06:32,450
A kiss.
- A kiss.
1254
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,340
And what is a kiss
when all is done?
1255
01:06:34,930 --> 01:06:37,080
A vow taken before
the shrine of memory.
1256
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,650
A rosy dot
over the "i" of loving.
1257
01:06:39,790 --> 01:06:42,950
- A secret whisper
to listen if the past.
1258
01:06:42,980 --> 01:06:43,650
Shhh.
1259
01:06:43,690 --> 01:06:46,720
A moment free to mortal
with a rush of wing from Ceden.
1260
01:06:46,750 --> 01:06:48,220
A sacrament of blossoms.
1261
01:06:48,260 --> 01:06:53,250
A new song sung by two hearts
to an old, simple tune.
1262
01:06:53,290 --> 01:06:54,430
Hush.
1263
01:06:54,460 --> 01:06:56,050
Why? What shame?
1264
01:06:58,010 --> 01:07:01,310
No.
No shame.
1265
01:07:01,610 --> 01:07:02,770
Then come.
1266
01:07:03,550 --> 01:07:05,680
Gather your sacred blossoms.
1267
01:07:07,250 --> 01:07:09,230
Your moment made immortal.
1268
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:09,860
Climb!
1269
01:07:10,660 --> 01:07:12,300
- But, climb?
- Many more!
1270
01:07:22,410 --> 01:07:23,760
Roxane.
1271
01:07:33,870 --> 01:07:34,690
(sigh)
1272
01:07:36,090 --> 01:07:39,770
Ah, Roxane.
I have won what I have wanted.
1273
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:45,410
A feast of love,
and I am faint with hunger.
1274
01:07:48,110 --> 01:07:51,040
Yet, I have something here
that is mine now,...
1275
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,380
and was not mine before.
1276
01:07:54,220 --> 01:07:56,790
I spoke the words
that won her.
1277
01:07:57,890 --> 01:08:05,890
She kisses my words.
My words...upon his lips.
1278
01:08:07,230 --> 01:08:08,650
(gate opens)
1279
01:08:13,250 --> 01:08:14,670
What, dear Father,
lost your way again?
1280
01:08:14,710 --> 01:08:16,270
But, she lives here,
Madame Robin.
1281
01:08:16,300 --> 01:08:17,830
Oh, I thought
you said, Rolen?
1282
01:08:17,860 --> 01:08:19,850
No, r..o..b..i..n, Robin.
1283
01:08:19,890 --> 01:08:21,030
Oh, Robin, I see.
1284
01:08:21,070 --> 01:08:23,090
I'm too old
to chase wild geese
1285
01:08:23,130 --> 01:08:25,080
- my feet...
- Oh, what a shame,
1286
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,920
(knocking on door)
however, I'm sure there's someone at home.
1287
01:08:29,330 --> 01:08:30,120
(door opens)
1288
01:08:30,150 --> 01:08:30,860
What is it?
1289
01:08:30,890 --> 01:08:34,570
Yeah, I'm looking for
the young lady, Madam Rolen
1290
01:08:34,610 --> 01:08:35,840
Rolen?
1291
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:37,080
Robin!
1292
01:08:37,950 --> 01:08:40,050
Madame!
A letter for you.
1293
01:08:40,590 --> 01:08:42,070
Yes, yes, I heard.
1294
01:08:42,970 --> 01:08:43,650
Cyrano.
1295
01:08:43,690 --> 01:08:46,080
Uh, passing by cousin,
I saw this light.
1296
01:08:46,700 --> 01:08:50,330
Uh, some matter
profitable to the soul.
1297
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:52,550
A very noble lord gave it to me.
1298
01:08:52,750 --> 01:08:53,640
(Christian)
What is it?
1299
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,100
<i>My regiment has been
ordered to the front. </i>
1300
01:08:57,130 --> 01:08:59,490
<i>I cannot allow you
to delay any longer.</i>
1301
01:08:59,530 --> 01:09:01,820
<i>This simple old monk,
who knows nothing,</i>
1302
01:09:01,850 --> 01:09:04,190
<i>will marry us tonight.
My love, Antoine de Guiche.</i>
1303
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,110
(Roxane changes everything)
1304
01:09:07,150 --> 01:09:08,880
Father, this letter
concerns you.
1305
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,930
"Madame, the Cardinal
will have his way,
1306
01:09:13,970 --> 01:09:15,530
"although against your will.
1307
01:09:15,710 --> 01:09:18,150
"That is why I am
sending this to you,
1308
01:09:18,180 --> 01:09:20,470
"by a most holy man.
1309
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,160
"Intelligent, discreet.
1310
01:09:23,580 --> 01:09:26,660
"You will communicate
to him our order to perform
1311
01:09:26,900 --> 01:09:31,160
"here and at once
the rite of holy matrimony.
1312
01:09:32,570 --> 01:09:35,910
"You and Christian will be
married privately in your house.
1313
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,760
"Be resigned to the
Cardinal's command,
1314
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:41,930
"who sends herewith
his blessings.
1315
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,060
"Your very humble,
and etcetera..."
1316
01:09:44,940 --> 01:09:46,750
Oh, this is terrible.
1317
01:09:48,220 --> 01:09:49,850
Oh, you're to be
the, uh...
1318
01:09:49,890 --> 01:09:51,490
I am to be the bridegroom.
1319
01:09:53,950 --> 01:09:56,230
Uh, look here.
A postscript.
1320
01:09:56,780 --> 01:10:02,320
"Give to the monastery,
in my name 120 pieces of gold."
1321
01:10:02,350 --> 01:10:04,070
One hundred and twenty...
1322
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,530
Oh, a worthy lord.
A very worthy lord.
1323
01:10:09,470 --> 01:10:12,030
Daughter, resign yourself.
1324
01:10:12,070 --> 01:10:14,080
I am resigned.
1325
01:10:22,350 --> 01:10:24,500
The Guiche is coming, too.
Don't let him enter.
1326
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:25,730
Not let him enter?
1327
01:10:25,770 --> 01:10:27,790
Until we're married, please.
1328
01:10:28,610 --> 01:10:30,340
(door slams shut)
1329
01:10:44,330 --> 01:10:45,250
(Count)
What is that?
1330
01:10:45,340 --> 01:10:46,330
(Cyrano)
Me?
1331
01:10:46,370 --> 01:10:48,360
- Why, where did you come from?
- The moon.
1332
01:10:48,390 --> 01:10:49,330
- You...
- From the moon.
1333
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:50,690
I have just returned
from the moon.
1334
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:52,420
- The fellow's mad!
-Like a bomb, I tell you,
1335
01:10:52,460 --> 01:10:54,130
- I fell from the moon!
- Your feet must...
1336
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:55,450
- I say THE MOON!
1337
01:10:55,480 --> 01:10:57,580
- Very well, if you say so.
- Thank you.
1338
01:10:57,610 --> 01:10:58,610
- Raving mad.
1339
01:11:00,660 --> 01:11:02,850
- Where am I?
- My dear sir!
1340
01:11:02,890 --> 01:11:04,080
- What place is this?
What country?
1341
01:11:04,110 --> 01:11:06,170
- Please, let me pass.
- This face, good heavens!
1342
01:11:06,210 --> 01:11:08,710
Maul, a robber.
Where am I?
1343
01:11:08,750 --> 01:11:12,830
- A lady is waiting for me.
- Oh, this is Paris, huh?
1344
01:11:12,870 --> 01:11:13,620
You fool!
1345
01:11:13,650 --> 01:11:14,800
Dear old Paris.
1346
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,750
Excuse my appearance.
I arrived by the last thunderbolt.
1347
01:11:17,790 --> 01:11:19,970
A trifled singed
as I passed through the ether.
1348
01:11:20,470 --> 01:11:21,320
Monsieur!
1349
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:22,080
Sir?
1350
01:11:22,130 --> 01:11:23,750
That will do, now. I wish...
1351
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,600
I know, you wish to look for
my own list of nature for moons
1352
01:11:25,630 --> 01:11:27,820
and happiness and character
of it's surface, if any.
1353
01:11:27,850 --> 01:11:29,060
I desire no such thing, I...
1354
01:11:29,100 --> 01:11:30,060
Of course not.
1355
01:11:32,940 --> 01:11:34,330
You wish to know
by what mysterious
1356
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:35,570
means I reached the moon.
1357
01:11:35,610 --> 01:11:37,870
Well, a very secret affair of state,
1358
01:11:37,900 --> 01:11:41,770
but confidentially
a new invention of my own.
1359
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:43,190
Drunk, two ways.
Well a man..
1360
01:11:43,230 --> 01:11:46,050
Oh, no. In truth I have
my choice of several inventions.
1361
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:46,600
Uh?
1362
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:50,850
Yes, several ways
to violate the virgin sky.
1363
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:52,210
Several?
1364
01:11:52,250 --> 01:11:53,510
Several.
1365
01:11:53,540 --> 01:11:57,520
As, for instance, smoke
having a natural tendency to rise,
1366
01:11:57,550 --> 01:12:02,050
blow in a globe
enough to raise me.
1367
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:03,300
Yes, that makes one.
1368
01:12:03,330 --> 01:12:06,780
Again, I might construct a rocket
in the shape of a HUGE locust
1369
01:12:06,820 --> 01:12:10,810
driven by impulses up within
a saltpeter from the rear
1370
01:12:10,850 --> 01:12:14,050
and thus speed upwards,
like, thus!
1371
01:12:14,260 --> 01:12:15,260
Yes, another?
1372
01:12:15,290 --> 01:12:18,950
Finally, seated on an iron plate,
hurl a magnet into the air.
1373
01:12:18,980 --> 01:12:21,810
The iron follows.
I catch the magnet.
1374
01:12:21,850 --> 01:12:25,330
Throw it again, and
so proceed indefinitely.
1375
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,460
Excellent, and
which did you adopt?
1376
01:12:31,450 --> 01:12:32,370
Why none of them.
1377
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:34,350
Yet another.
1378
01:12:34,390 --> 01:12:35,740
Which was...?
1379
01:12:46,810 --> 01:12:47,500
Guess.
1380
01:12:47,860 --> 01:12:49,370
Ahhh, I can't!
1381
01:12:50,090 --> 01:12:51,100
Try.
1382
01:12:52,340 --> 01:12:53,980
Interesting idiot, this.
1383
01:13:05,350 --> 01:13:06,540
Have you guessed it yet?
1384
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:07,960
Why, no, what is it?
1385
01:13:13,780 --> 01:13:15,870
Alas, you will never know,
but no matter.
1386
01:13:15,910 --> 01:13:18,470
You are free and
they are bound in wedlock.
1387
01:13:18,510 --> 01:13:21,010
I drunk that voice,
and that nose, Cyrano!
1388
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:23,710
Cyrano. This very moment
they have exchanged vows.
1389
01:13:23,750 --> 01:13:24,460
Who?
1390
01:13:29,820 --> 01:13:31,530
My sincere compliments.
1391
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,900
You, also, my traveler in space.
1392
01:13:34,940 --> 01:13:37,800
My Lord, the heads of Capathieu
and Joyce have joined together.
1393
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:38,750
Quite so!
1394
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:44,160
Madame, kindly bid
your... husband farewell.
1395
01:13:44,190 --> 01:13:46,670
Your regiment leaves tonight, sir.
Report at once!
1396
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:49,320
But, the Cadets are not called.
1397
01:13:49,350 --> 01:13:51,850
They are, indeed, and
under my command.
1398
01:13:52,710 --> 01:13:55,080
Out there we may
have an accounting.
1399
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:58,130
Somehow, that news
fails to disquiet me.
1400
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,190
Here are the orders.
Baron, deliver this.
1401
01:14:02,500 --> 01:14:03,650
Christian!
1402
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,660
The bridal night
is not so near.
1403
01:14:10,090 --> 01:14:13,400
Somehow that news
fails to disquiet me.
1404
01:14:17,710 --> 01:14:19,340
Baron, you have your orders.
1405
01:14:36,270 --> 01:14:37,530
Farewell, Roxane.
1406
01:14:38,290 --> 01:14:40,490
Take care of him, for me.
Promise me never to let him
1407
01:14:40,530 --> 01:14:41,400
do anything dangerous.
1408
01:14:41,430 --> 01:14:42,890
I will do my best.
I cannot promise.
1409
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:44,970
I thought you brave always.
Make him be careful.
1410
01:14:45,010 --> 01:14:46,070
Yes, yes, I'll try.
1411
01:14:46,110 --> 01:14:47,840
Be sure to keep him
warm and dry!
1412
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:49,150
Yes, if possible.
1413
01:14:49,190 --> 01:14:51,820
Have him write to me
every single day!
1414
01:14:51,860 --> 01:14:54,090
That, I promise you.
1415
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,970
(the war with Spain)
1416
01:15:40,820 --> 01:15:41,540
Halt!
1417
01:16:03,370 --> 01:16:03,920
Uh!
1418
01:16:13,930 --> 01:16:18,590
(Madame Baroness de Neuvillette,
Rue Marais No. 12, Paris)
1419
01:16:46,610 --> 01:16:48,170
The situation
is simple, gentlemen.
1420
01:16:48,420 --> 01:16:53,340
We have besieged Arras.
The Prince of Spain has besieged us.
1421
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,960
Consequently, we
are surrounded.
1422
01:16:56,050 --> 01:16:58,920
- A fine war. Where
the besiegers are besieged
1423
01:16:58,950 --> 01:17:00,020
and starve to death.
1424
01:17:00,060 --> 01:17:01,990
Yes, but the Marshal has
devised a brilliant plan
1425
01:17:02,030 --> 01:17:03,480
for bringing in food
this very night.
1426
01:17:03,510 --> 01:17:04,460
Now, see here.
1427
01:17:04,500 --> 01:17:06,240
Spare us the details, Colonel.
1428
01:17:06,270 --> 01:17:08,820
Merely inform us
when the food arrives.
1429
01:17:08,860 --> 01:17:11,380
True, we are hungry.
But why blame me?
1430
01:17:11,700 --> 01:17:13,320
I'm only your Colonel.
1431
01:17:14,700 --> 01:17:16,910
Oh, yes, I know
you disprove of me.
1432
01:17:17,020 --> 01:17:18,940
Call me courtier, politician.
1433
01:17:19,430 --> 01:17:22,080
Well, I can afford you little hates.
1434
01:17:22,110 --> 01:17:24,730
My conduct under fire
is well known.
1435
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,170
It was only yesterday
I repelled a Spanish attack.
1436
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,070
Pouring my men down
like an avalanche.
1437
01:17:29,250 --> 01:17:30,710
I, myself lead the charge.
1438
01:17:30,900 --> 01:17:33,330
- And your white scarf?
(through a cannon barrel)
1439
01:17:33,370 --> 01:17:34,130
Cyrano!
1440
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:39,140
And your white scarf?
1441
01:17:39,150 --> 01:17:40,480
Eh, you heard that episode?
1442
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:44,110
Yes, I was so far in advance
I was in danger of being captured.
1443
01:17:44,180 --> 01:17:46,570
But I thought quickly,
took off and flung away
1444
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,290
the scarf that marked
my military rank.
1445
01:17:48,420 --> 01:17:51,150
And so being inconspicuous
escaped among my own force,
1446
01:17:51,410 --> 01:17:54,250
rallied them, returned,
and won the day.
1447
01:17:54,290 --> 01:17:55,500
What do you say to that?
1448
01:17:55,540 --> 01:17:58,550
Still, enough that is not likely
to resign the privilege of being a target.
1449
01:17:58,580 --> 01:18:01,690
How pleasant for you
that you are denied that privilege.
1450
01:18:01,730 --> 01:18:03,650
Pleasant?
Lend me your scarf.
1451
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:05,570
With your permission I shall
lead the first charge tonight
1452
01:18:05,610 --> 01:18:06,890
wearing it over my shoulder.
1453
01:18:06,930 --> 01:18:07,720
What bluster.
1454
01:18:07,750 --> 01:18:09,630
You're safe making that offer,
and you know it.
1455
01:18:09,670 --> 01:18:12,620
My scarf lies on the
river bank between the lines.
1456
01:18:12,650 --> 01:18:15,560
A spot swept by artillery.
Impossible to reach alive.
1457
01:18:15,700 --> 01:18:16,700
Yes.
1458
01:18:16,730 --> 01:18:20,500
(displays the Colonel's scarf)
1459
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:22,410
Here.
1460
01:18:22,580 --> 01:18:24,590
(laughter)
1461
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:26,500
Thank you.
1462
01:18:28,180 --> 01:18:31,000
This bit of white is
what I need to make a signal.
1463
01:18:31,820 --> 01:18:33,360
I was hesitating.
1464
01:18:33,940 --> 01:18:35,720
You have decided me.
1465
01:18:41,370 --> 01:18:43,010
- Stand or I'll fire!
- Hold you fire.
1466
01:18:43,050 --> 01:18:44,650
There's a man down
there running away.
1467
01:18:44,690 --> 01:18:46,700
Yes, a Spaniard.
1468
01:18:47,440 --> 01:18:50,310
But very useful as a spy
to both sides.
1469
01:18:51,270 --> 01:18:52,480
As I was about
to tell you.
1470
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,100
The Marshal has withdrawn
more than half our forces here.
1471
01:18:55,140 --> 01:18:57,190
Fortunately, the Spaniards
do not know that.
1472
01:18:57,230 --> 01:19:00,470
Oh, yes, they do now,
and they will attack tonight.
1473
01:19:00,510 --> 01:19:02,240
At this point.
1474
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:04,520
Your revenge, eh?
1475
01:19:04,550 --> 01:19:06,670
I make not great
pretense in loving you.
1476
01:19:06,770 --> 01:19:10,170
But since you gentlemen
esteem yourselves invincible,
1477
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,710
the bravest of the brave,
and all that.
1478
01:19:12,750 --> 01:19:14,120
Why need we be personal.
1479
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,710
The Marshal needs
a diversion, and I serve him
1480
01:19:16,740 --> 01:19:19,040
in choosing as I chose.
1481
01:19:19,210 --> 01:19:21,440
As you can see, Captain,
the great thing is to gain time.
1482
01:19:21,470 --> 01:19:23,070
To hold until the Marshal returns.
1483
01:19:23,180 --> 01:19:24,980
- And to gain time?
1484
01:19:25,490 --> 01:19:31,370
You will all be so kind
as to lay down your lives.
1485
01:19:39,610 --> 01:19:40,700
Christian?
1486
01:19:40,740 --> 01:19:41,400
Yes.
1487
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:46,130
Roxane?
1488
01:19:46,940 --> 01:19:49,260
I should like to say
farewell to her
1489
01:19:49,290 --> 01:19:51,580
with my whole
heart for her to keep.
1490
01:19:53,630 --> 01:19:55,610
I have taken the liberty of...
1491
01:19:58,580 --> 01:20:03,760
(the first letter
Christian is aware of)
1492
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:05,110
But, wait.
1493
01:20:07,270 --> 01:20:08,180
This little spot.
1494
01:20:08,620 --> 01:20:09,360
Spot?
1495
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:10,100
Yes.
1496
01:20:10,470 --> 01:20:11,550
A tear.
1497
01:20:13,500 --> 01:20:14,210
Is nothing.
1498
01:20:14,250 --> 01:20:16,860
A poet while he writes
is like a lover in his lady's arms,
1499
01:20:16,890 --> 01:20:19,060
believing his imagination,
everything seems real.
1500
01:20:19,090 --> 01:20:20,710
There's half the charm
of writing.
1501
01:20:21,230 --> 01:20:24,000
Now, I made this letter
so pathetic, that,
1502
01:20:24,030 --> 01:20:27,290
while I was writing it,
I wept.
1503
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:28,110
You wept?
1504
01:20:28,650 --> 01:20:31,590
Why, yes, because
it is a little thing to die,
1505
01:20:32,500 --> 01:20:36,710
but not to see her,...
that is terrible.
1506
01:20:37,700 --> 01:20:41,890
I shall never...,
you will never...
1507
01:20:42,480 --> 01:20:43,690
Give me that.
1508
01:20:45,190 --> 01:20:48,500
- Halt. Who goes there.
- On the service of the King.
1509
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:01,330
- The King!
- Fall in...
1510
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:11,620
Good evening.
1511
01:21:11,650 --> 01:21:13,540
On the King's service, you?
1512
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:25,850
- Gentlemen,...
- What are you doing here?
1513
01:21:25,890 --> 01:21:28,300
- We heard rumors at home
you were hungry,
1514
01:21:28,340 --> 01:21:29,810
- so we came prepared.
1515
01:21:29,850 --> 01:21:34,500
The Spaniards adored the fare,
but they missed the fowl!
1516
01:21:34,530 --> 01:21:37,560
(soldiers clamor for food)
1517
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:47,020
But why did you come here
into this, this danger?
1518
01:21:47,060 --> 01:21:49,420
They said in Paris
there was no fighting.
1519
01:21:50,450 --> 01:21:53,620
Besides, it was your own fault.
1520
01:22:01,410 --> 01:22:03,770
Think of the
letters you have written me.
1521
01:22:04,050 --> 01:22:06,510
How many times!
Every day!
1522
01:22:06,550 --> 01:22:07,680
Every day?
1523
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:08,820
Of course.
1524
01:22:08,980 --> 01:22:11,560
And each one
more wonderful than the last.
1525
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:14,820
All this, for a few absurd love letters.
1526
01:22:14,860 --> 01:22:18,050
Hush. Absurd?
Your letters...no, never.
1527
01:22:19,030 --> 01:22:22,730
Every one was like hearing your voice
that night in the dark. Remember?
1528
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:26,590
Like your arms around me.
I read them over and over.
1529
01:22:26,630 --> 01:22:30,420
Every page was like
a petal fallen from you soul.
1530
01:22:30,460 --> 01:22:33,350
Like the light
and the fire of a great love.
1531
01:22:33,390 --> 01:22:36,020
- Sweet and strong and true.
- Sweet.
1532
01:22:36,180 --> 01:22:37,280
Strong.
1533
01:22:37,590 --> 01:22:38,490
True?
1534
01:22:41,570 --> 01:22:43,090
Oh, my Christian.
1535
01:22:43,690 --> 01:22:46,420
I came here to ask forgiveness.
1536
01:22:47,660 --> 01:22:49,380
It is time to be forgiven.
1537
01:22:49,860 --> 01:22:51,950
Now, when we
may die so soon.
1538
01:22:53,780 --> 01:22:55,380
Forgive me for being
light and vain
1539
01:22:55,410 --> 01:22:57,570
and loving you only
because you were handsome.
1540
01:22:57,600 --> 01:22:59,230
- For now...
- Now?
1541
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:01,940
I love you for yourself.
1542
01:23:02,350 --> 01:23:04,090
For what you are.
1543
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:05,340
Roxane.
1544
01:23:05,910 --> 01:23:09,000
How you must have suffered.
For you saw how frivolous I was.
1545
01:23:09,030 --> 01:23:11,300
And to be loved
for the mere costume,
1546
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,090
for the poor, casual
body you went about in.
1547
01:23:14,750 --> 01:23:17,620
To a soul like yours,
that must have been torture.
1548
01:23:17,650 --> 01:23:18,390
No.
1549
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:23,140
I understand.
1550
01:23:23,790 --> 01:23:25,930
You cannot perfectly
believe in me,
1551
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:27,530
a...a love like this...
1552
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:29,090
I want no love like this.
1553
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,020
I want love only for...
1554
01:23:31,050 --> 01:23:33,090
Only for what every
woman sees in you.
1555
01:23:33,700 --> 01:23:35,030
I can to better than that.
1556
01:23:35,060 --> 01:23:37,240
No, it...it was best before.
1557
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,090
You do not
altogether know me.
1558
01:23:40,540 --> 01:23:42,260
I was a child.
1559
01:23:42,350 --> 01:23:43,650
I'm a woman now.
1560
01:23:44,250 --> 01:23:46,720
- If...if you were less handsome,
- No.
1561
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:50,130
unattractive, ugly even,
I should love you, still.
1562
01:23:50,770 --> 01:23:51,900
Do you mean that?
1563
01:23:52,510 --> 01:23:53,750
I do mean that.
1564
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:55,020
Ugly?
1565
01:23:55,100 --> 01:23:56,200
Even then.
1566
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:58,050
Now, are you happy?
1567
01:24:03,470 --> 01:24:04,650
Yes.
1568
01:24:04,690 --> 01:24:05,500
What is it?
1569
01:24:06,190 --> 01:24:08,690
Nothing, only, Cyrano...
1570
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:10,830
Cyrano.
1571
01:24:12,050 --> 01:24:14,090
he has something
to tell you.
1572
01:24:16,180 --> 01:24:17,200
Where are you going?
1573
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:20,690
I...will...return...in a moment.
1574
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:30,050
Cyrano.
1575
01:24:30,650 --> 01:24:32,480
Your wife, sir,
she goes with me?
1576
01:24:32,510 --> 01:24:33,340
No, sir, she remains.
1577
01:24:33,380 --> 01:24:34,670
There is still time
for her to escape.
1578
01:24:34,710 --> 01:24:35,640
She stays!
1579
01:24:36,030 --> 01:24:36,790
Very well.
1580
01:24:36,820 --> 01:24:38,950
Someone give me a musket.
I stay here also.
1581
01:24:39,420 --> 01:24:40,640
Sir, you show courage.
1582
01:24:40,670 --> 01:24:42,890
What, shall I run away,
and leave a woman?
1583
01:24:43,450 --> 01:24:45,320
Colonel, my compliments, sir.
1584
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:47,810
What of Roxane?
1585
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:48,470
Wait.
1586
01:24:49,350 --> 01:24:50,860
Well, what is it?
You look so...
1587
01:24:52,830 --> 01:24:54,580
She does not love me.
1588
01:24:54,990 --> 01:24:57,310
- You think not?
- She loves you.
1589
01:24:57,340 --> 01:24:59,630
- No.
- She loves only my soul.
1590
01:24:59,660 --> 01:25:00,370
- No.
- Yes!
1591
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:03,140
That means you.
And you love her.
1592
01:25:03,170 --> 01:25:05,300
- I?
- I see. I know.
1593
01:25:05,340 --> 01:25:08,310
You wrote her,
everyday, every day!
1594
01:25:08,820 --> 01:25:10,030
- Perfectly simple.
- Simple?
1595
01:25:10,060 --> 01:25:11,700
For a month,
we've been blockaded here.
1596
01:25:11,740 --> 01:25:13,340
How did you send
all those letters?
1597
01:25:13,370 --> 01:25:14,500
Before daylight
I managed...
1598
01:25:14,530 --> 01:25:16,070
To face death
everyday.
1599
01:25:16,820 --> 01:25:17,950
You love her.
1600
01:25:19,020 --> 01:25:20,190
Yes.
1601
01:25:26,950 --> 01:25:27,890
Tell her so.
1602
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:29,250
- No.
- Why not?
1603
01:25:29,350 --> 01:25:32,290
Why?
Look at me.
1604
01:25:32,590 --> 01:25:35,420
She would love me
if I were ugly.
1605
01:25:35,990 --> 01:25:38,820
- She said that?
- Yes. Now, go to her.
1606
01:25:40,090 --> 01:25:42,410
Nonsense. Do not
believe any such madness.
1607
01:25:42,440 --> 01:25:44,730
Go back to her.
You never will be ugly.
1608
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:45,810
Go!
It is you she loves.
1609
01:25:45,850 --> 01:25:46,870
That is what
we shall see.
1610
01:25:46,900 --> 01:25:47,840
No, no!
1611
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:49,480
- Let her chose between us.
- No.
1612
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:51,510
- Tell her everything.
- Why do you torture me?
1613
01:25:51,550 --> 01:25:54,700
Shall I ruin your happiness,
because I was born with a pretty face?
1614
01:25:54,740 --> 01:25:57,210
Am I to ruin yours,
because I happen to have power
1615
01:25:57,250 --> 01:25:58,750
to say what you perhaps feel?
1616
01:25:58,780 --> 01:26:00,910
- Tell her!
- Don't drive me too far!
1617
01:26:00,950 --> 01:26:03,210
- I'm tired of being my own rival.
- Hard to know.
1618
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:05,470
My secret marriage, that
can be annulled, I expect.
1619
01:26:05,500 --> 01:26:07,790
I want her love
for the poor fool than I am,
1620
01:26:07,860 --> 01:26:09,020
or not at all.
1621
01:26:09,390 --> 01:26:12,090
Oh, I'm going through with this.
I'll know one way or the other.
1622
01:26:12,870 --> 01:26:15,280
Now, go!....Tell her.
1623
01:26:15,480 --> 01:26:16,790
Let her chose one of us.
1624
01:26:17,570 --> 01:26:18,780
It will be you.
1625
01:26:19,670 --> 01:26:21,330
I hope so.
1626
01:26:33,070 --> 01:26:33,820
- Captain!
1627
01:26:36,570 --> 01:26:38,100
The Spanish fires are going out.
1628
01:26:41,030 --> 01:26:42,160
It begins.
1629
01:26:42,220 --> 01:26:44,140
I need a scout. Where's Cyrano.
1630
01:26:44,490 --> 01:26:45,280
Captain.
1631
01:26:45,850 --> 01:26:46,740
Let me go.
1632
01:26:46,780 --> 01:26:49,490
No, my boy, Cyrano knows
the terrain. He knows their lines.
1633
01:26:49,530 --> 01:26:51,550
So do I.
Please, allow me.
1634
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:56,070
Very well.
We must know from which
1635
01:26:56,110 --> 01:26:58,810
direction the advance comes.
Their weight and numbers.
1636
01:26:58,840 --> 01:26:59,560
I understand.
1637
01:27:11,940 --> 01:27:12,780
Roxane.
1638
01:27:13,430 --> 01:27:14,450
Cyrano.
1639
01:27:14,480 --> 01:27:15,930
Christian thinks...
1640
01:27:17,470 --> 01:27:19,190
Christian thinks you
ought to know that...
1641
01:27:19,220 --> 01:27:20,240
But I do know.
1642
01:27:20,770 --> 01:27:22,850
He still doubts what I
just told him, just now.
1643
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:23,860
I saw that.
1644
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:27,560
Yes, but,...was it true,
what you told him just now?
1645
01:27:27,590 --> 01:27:28,900
It was true.
1646
01:27:28,990 --> 01:27:32,270
I said that I should love him,
even if he were....
1647
01:27:33,020 --> 01:27:34,580
The word comes
hard before me?
1648
01:27:37,420 --> 01:27:38,860
Say it, I shall
not be hurt.
1649
01:27:39,370 --> 01:27:40,620
Ugly?
1650
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:42,130
Even, then
I should love him.
1651
01:27:43,500 --> 01:27:44,690
Disfigured.
1652
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:45,870
Or disfigured.
1653
01:27:46,480 --> 01:27:49,620
Even....grotesque.
1654
01:27:49,650 --> 01:27:51,350
How could he
every be grotesque,
1655
01:27:51,810 --> 01:27:52,950
ever to me?
1656
01:27:52,990 --> 01:27:55,580
But, you could love him so,
as much as?
1657
01:27:55,610 --> 01:27:56,790
Yes, and more.
1658
01:27:57,320 --> 01:27:58,320
Roxane...
1659
01:27:58,350 --> 01:27:59,300
(gunshot)
1660
01:27:59,340 --> 01:28:00,260
What is it?
1661
01:28:01,550 --> 01:28:02,600
Are they fighting?
1662
01:28:05,250 --> 01:28:06,510
What is happening?
1663
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:08,010
- The Spaniards advance,
1664
01:28:08,940 --> 01:28:09,930
but there is time.
1665
01:28:10,480 --> 01:28:12,370
- Where is Christian?
- At the parapet.
1666
01:28:12,820 --> 01:28:13,890
Oh, of course.
1667
01:28:14,930 --> 01:28:16,750
What is it
that you wish to tell me?
1668
01:28:16,780 --> 01:28:18,140
Roxane,...
1669
01:28:18,810 --> 01:28:21,690
believe me this is difficult,
and for once I lack words.
1670
01:28:24,690 --> 01:28:26,330
Christian asked me to...
1671
01:28:26,440 --> 01:28:27,850
He told me...
1672
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:38,220
Christian!
1673
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:42,970
To your places, gentlemen.
1674
01:28:43,970 --> 01:28:45,130
Is he dead?
1675
01:28:45,170 --> 01:28:46,260
No, but dying.
1676
01:28:46,300 --> 01:28:47,660
I will not let him!
1677
01:28:51,870 --> 01:28:54,530
Cyrano...did you?
1678
01:28:54,570 --> 01:28:56,610
Yes, my friend.
I have told her.
1679
01:28:58,350 --> 01:28:59,450
She loves you.
1680
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:02,190
Roxane.
1681
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:03,570
Yes, my darling.
1682
01:29:06,020 --> 01:29:07,320
Christian!
1683
01:29:08,170 --> 01:29:09,370
He is not dead?
1684
01:29:10,930 --> 01:29:11,830
Yes.
1685
01:29:12,310 --> 01:29:13,640
(gasp)
1686
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:22,890
Time you must go, now.
1687
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:25,860
Really, he is dead.
1688
01:29:25,890 --> 01:29:27,740
No one else
knew him but you.
1689
01:29:28,250 --> 01:29:29,630
Was he not a hero?
1690
01:29:29,670 --> 01:29:30,700
Yes, Roxane.
1691
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:33,340
A heart deeper
than we knew.
1692
01:29:33,380 --> 01:29:34,930
Yes, Roxane.
1693
01:29:35,010 --> 01:29:39,310
A poet.
A soul magnificently tender.
1694
01:29:41,750 --> 01:29:43,660
Yes, Roxane.
1695
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:46,740
But he is dead now.
1696
01:29:48,390 --> 01:29:50,030
(collapses sobbing)
1697
01:29:50,070 --> 01:29:51,230
Why, so am I.
1698
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:55,060
For I am dead
and my love mourns for me
1699
01:29:55,100 --> 01:29:56,550
and does not know.
1700
01:29:58,190 --> 01:29:59,530
Will never know.
1701
01:29:59,570 --> 01:30:00,990
(rapid gunfire)
1702
01:30:01,030 --> 01:30:02,410
(bugle calls)
1703
01:30:03,030 --> 01:30:04,030
Take her away quickly.
1704
01:30:05,670 --> 01:30:06,500
Wait.
1705
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:09,220
A letter over his heart.
1706
01:30:11,490 --> 01:30:12,850
(sobbing)
1707
01:30:16,740 --> 01:30:18,460
I have two deaths
to avenge, now,
1708
01:30:19,090 --> 01:30:22,670
Christian's...and my own.
1709
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:42,210
(fighting becomes intense)
1710
01:30:43,330 --> 01:30:46,820
(the Spanish army advances)
1711
01:30:49,450 --> 01:30:50,280
Fire!
1712
01:31:00,270 --> 01:31:02,810
Surrender or you die!
1713
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:51,720
(de Guiche)
Look! The signal!
1714
01:32:59,940 --> 01:33:00,940
Ah!
1715
01:33:07,070 --> 01:33:09,610
We fought. We died.
We fought again.
1716
01:33:09,750 --> 01:33:12,760
Who are these men who are
so fond of death, one Spaniard cried.
1717
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:14,440
On and on, they came.
1718
01:33:14,570 --> 01:33:17,210
Then, when all seemed lost,
we heard the trumpets
1719
01:33:17,250 --> 01:33:19,850
of our returning troops.
The battle was ours!
1720
01:33:20,690 --> 01:33:24,050
Ah, you have been fortunate,
Ms. de Bergerac, you have lived!
1721
01:33:24,090 --> 01:33:28,870
While we, we waste our youth.
There is no war and not hope for any.
1722
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:30,880
No hope for any?
1723
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:34,220
My fellow, I just realize,
we are both fools.
1724
01:33:34,630 --> 01:33:37,550
But mine is the greater folly,
for I am an older fool.
1725
01:33:38,170 --> 01:33:42,320
What is more......
Everything I told you was a lie.
1726
01:33:47,550 --> 01:33:49,680
Another satire
for the Gazette?
1727
01:33:49,710 --> 01:33:50,410
Yes.
1728
01:33:50,820 --> 01:33:53,480
Another glove flung
in the face of power?
1729
01:33:53,650 --> 01:33:55,400
Oh, why do you
do it, Cyrano?
1730
01:33:55,430 --> 01:33:57,860
- Why do you attack...
- Stupidity?
1731
01:33:57,880 --> 01:34:01,180
Deceit? Corruption?
I'm too old to change.
1732
01:34:01,370 --> 01:34:03,980
I'm an old dog
with nothing left but his teeth.
1733
01:34:04,010 --> 01:34:06,580
Ah, but teeth can be pulled.
That can be painful.
1734
01:34:10,440 --> 01:34:14,580
That insolent wretch.
That scoundrel de Bergerac.
1735
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:17,180
This time he's gone too far.
I swear it.
1736
01:34:17,210 --> 01:34:18,790
He's signed his death warrant.
1737
01:34:19,950 --> 01:34:21,730
And who will deliver it?
1738
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:25,040
His sword is still very
powerful, my friend.
1739
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:27,230
There are may ways
a man can die.
1740
01:34:27,990 --> 01:34:29,550
Who knows?
1741
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:31,430
He may meet
with an accident.
1742
01:34:32,550 --> 01:34:33,570
Soon.
1743
01:34:35,100 --> 01:34:38,710
(church chimes)
1744
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:46,060
But, uh, tell me, Madame.
1745
01:34:46,180 --> 01:34:50,830
How long will you continue
to remain here, forever in mourning?
1746
01:34:51,670 --> 01:34:52,570
Forever.
1747
01:34:53,060 --> 01:34:55,080
Was Christian all that?
1748
01:34:55,770 --> 01:34:57,400
If you knew him
you would not ask.
1749
01:34:57,950 --> 01:35:00,150
His last letter
is still in my heart.
1750
01:35:00,820 --> 01:35:04,770
And, uh, Cyrano?
Do you see him often?
1751
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:09,240
Every week. My old friend
takes the place of my Gazette.
1752
01:35:09,620 --> 01:35:11,320
He brings me all the news.
1753
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:14,940
Every Saturday under
that tree out there.
1754
01:35:14,980 --> 01:35:17,070
I wait for him embroidering.
1755
01:35:17,430 --> 01:35:20,240
The hour strikes.
I need not turn to look.
1756
01:35:20,570 --> 01:35:24,070
At the last stroke,
I hear his cane tapping the walk.
1757
01:35:24,100 --> 01:35:26,430
His satires have made
him many enemies.
1758
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:29,740
But, they still fear
that sword of his.
1759
01:35:30,330 --> 01:35:32,130
No one dare touch him.
1760
01:35:32,510 --> 01:35:33,670
Hm, that may be so.
1761
01:35:35,620 --> 01:35:38,160
It is not violence
I fear for him,
1762
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:42,560
but solitude, poverty.
Old gray Decembers
1763
01:35:42,590 --> 01:35:45,350
stealing on wolf's feet
into his darkened room.
1764
01:35:46,010 --> 01:35:48,230
It seems to me he's
worn the same old coat
1765
01:35:48,260 --> 01:35:49,610
for many months, now.
1766
01:35:49,650 --> 01:35:51,740
Eh, that is nothing
strange in this world.
1767
01:35:51,780 --> 01:35:53,820
You need not pity
him overmuch.
1768
01:35:53,860 --> 01:35:56,930
He lives his life,
his own life his own way,
1769
01:35:56,970 --> 01:36:00,300
thought, word and deed free.
1770
01:36:00,450 --> 01:36:01,610
My Lord Duke.
1771
01:36:01,750 --> 01:36:05,860
Oh, yes, I know.
I have all. He has nothing.
1772
01:36:06,370 --> 01:36:12,170
Nevertheless, today,
I should be proud to shake his hand.
1773
01:36:12,350 --> 01:36:14,000
Ah, well, adieu.
1774
01:36:14,670 --> 01:36:16,300
Will I ever see you again?
1775
01:36:16,340 --> 01:36:17,970
Come whenever you like.
1776
01:36:18,010 --> 01:36:19,610
Then, you have forgiven me.
1777
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:21,680
I am here.
1778
01:36:22,950 --> 01:36:25,380
Do you know?
When a man wins
1779
01:36:25,420 --> 01:36:29,750
everything in this world,
when he succeeds too much,
1780
01:36:29,790 --> 01:36:34,190
he feels, somehow,
a thousand small displeasures
1781
01:36:34,230 --> 01:36:38,560
with himself, whose whole sum
is not quite remorse
1782
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:45,570
but rather a sort of vague
disgust, dry illusions, pained regrets.
1783
01:36:45,870 --> 01:36:48,730
Yes, now and then,
I envy your Cyrano.
1784
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:50,860
The sentiment
does you honor.
1785
01:36:50,890 --> 01:36:52,250
(chuckling)
1786
01:36:59,350 --> 01:37:04,280
Madame, I must tell you,
it is true that no one has yet
1787
01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:06,490
dared to attack
your friend Cyrano.
1788
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:11,380
Nevertheless, at the theater
last night, I heard some things.
1789
01:37:12,260 --> 01:37:13,720
Keep him at home all you can.
1790
01:37:14,090 --> 01:37:17,330
Tomorrow when you see him,
tell him to be careful.
1791
01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:19,130
I thank you.
1792
01:37:32,050 --> 01:37:33,140
(Cyrano)
Good night, Ragueneau.
1793
01:37:33,180 --> 01:37:35,120
(Ragueneau)
Cyrano, you not leaving?
1794
01:37:35,150 --> 01:37:37,030
You will not have
dinner here with me?
1795
01:37:37,060 --> 01:37:38,860
(Cyrano)
My regrets. I have a magnificent
1796
01:37:38,900 --> 01:37:42,450
roast waiting for me, a rare wine,
a gift from my publisher.
1797
01:37:42,490 --> 01:37:43,890
(Ragueneau)
Fine, to be sure.
1798
01:37:44,650 --> 01:37:47,490
Uh, have you seen
Moliere's new play?
1799
01:37:47,530 --> 01:37:48,160
No.
1800
01:37:48,340 --> 01:37:49,650
Heh, ah, well....
1801
01:37:49,690 --> 01:37:50,580
What is it?
1802
01:37:50,610 --> 01:37:51,460
Well, he...
1803
01:37:51,500 --> 01:37:52,250
Speak.
1804
01:37:52,290 --> 01:37:55,220
He stole a scene
from you, word for word.
1805
01:37:55,250 --> 01:37:57,140
You know, "What the devil
was he doing there?"
1806
01:37:57,170 --> 01:37:57,730
That one.
1807
01:37:57,770 --> 01:37:59,040
He stole it, bodily.
1808
01:37:59,070 --> 01:38:01,300
Well, he showed
good taste.
1809
01:38:01,340 --> 01:38:03,020
It, uh, played well?
1810
01:38:03,060 --> 01:38:05,450
Oh, beautifully. They
laughed and laughed.
1811
01:38:05,480 --> 01:38:06,810
Oh, how they laughed.
1812
01:38:07,250 --> 01:38:08,560
Moliere has genius.
1813
01:38:09,370 --> 01:38:11,010
Christian had good looks.
1814
01:38:12,170 --> 01:38:13,610
With me, it was
always thus.
1815
01:38:16,050 --> 01:38:17,240
Good night, my friend.
1816
01:38:32,340 --> 01:38:32,950
(man)
Hold, there.
1817
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:33,950
(man)
You!
1818
01:38:35,650 --> 01:38:36,850
(Cyrano)
Are you addressing me?
1819
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:38,990
Yes, you, Monsieur
of the long nose.
1820
01:38:39,100 --> 01:38:40,000
Insolence.
1821
01:38:40,290 --> 01:38:41,990
- Foulmouthed scribbler.
- What?
1822
01:38:42,020 --> 01:38:43,440
- Lair, plagiarist!
- Liar.
1823
01:38:47,910 --> 01:38:49,660
(whistling to wagon)
1824
01:39:08,630 --> 01:39:10,920
(driver whips horses)
1825
01:39:27,570 --> 01:39:28,490
Doctor.
1826
01:39:29,930 --> 01:39:31,260
Why pretend?
1827
01:39:31,550 --> 01:39:32,910
It is very grave.
1828
01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:35,500
Keep him quiet
at all costs.
1829
01:39:35,540 --> 01:39:38,500
If he attempts
to rise, he will die.
1830
01:39:38,540 --> 01:39:39,810
Shhhh.
1831
01:39:43,220 --> 01:39:43,930
Thank you.
1832
01:39:44,980 --> 01:39:47,240
(door closes)
1833
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:55,820
(gate bell rings)
1834
01:39:59,820 --> 01:40:01,490
(gate opens)
1835
01:40:01,530 --> 01:40:03,170
Monsieur.
1836
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:03,860
Ah, Sister.
1837
01:40:09,810 --> 01:40:10,880
(gasp)
1838
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:12,350
What is the matter
with you?
1839
01:40:14,480 --> 01:40:15,900
Shall I tell you
something, Sister?
1840
01:40:16,540 --> 01:40:20,470
Yesterday, Friday, mind you,
I ate meat again.
1841
01:40:21,930 --> 01:40:23,000
Yes, I know.
1842
01:40:23,350 --> 01:40:25,080
That is why you
are so pale.
1843
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:27,930
Please come to me
to the refectory before you go.
1844
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,250
I'll make you a great
bowl of hot soup.
1845
01:40:30,280 --> 01:40:31,630
Of course, of course.
1846
01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:33,950
You're quite reasonable today.
1847
01:40:33,990 --> 01:40:36,120
Perhaps you'll convert me.
1848
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:38,260
Oh, no! Not for the world.
1849
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:40,690
Why, now I think of it,
that is so.
1850
01:40:41,070 --> 01:40:44,560
You, bursting with holiness,
and yet you never preach.
1851
01:40:45,470 --> 01:40:46,760
Astonishing.
1852
01:40:47,060 --> 01:40:49,100
And now I shall astonish you.
1853
01:40:49,690 --> 01:40:54,110
I'm going to let you
pray for me tonight, at Vespers.
1854
01:40:55,830 --> 01:40:58,700
Absolutely struck dumb, eh?
1855
01:41:02,550 --> 01:41:05,180
I did not wait for you
to say I might.
1856
01:41:14,930 --> 01:41:17,450
Now may the devil admire
me if never hope to see
1857
01:41:17,490 --> 01:41:19,570
the end of that embroidery.
1858
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:23,440
After 14 years,
late for the first time.
1859
01:41:23,480 --> 01:41:26,550
Yes.
Yes, maddening.
1860
01:41:27,330 --> 01:41:31,480
I was detained by
a visitor. Most unexpected.
1861
01:41:32,150 --> 01:41:33,660
An old friend of mine.
1862
01:41:34,540 --> 01:41:36,830
At least a very
old acquaintance.
1863
01:41:36,870 --> 01:41:38,320
Did you tell him
to go away?
1864
01:41:38,980 --> 01:41:40,410
For the time being, yes.
1865
01:41:40,440 --> 01:41:45,270
I said excuse me,
I see that it's Saturday,
1866
01:41:45,620 --> 01:41:48,200
I have a previous
engagement.
1867
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:49,620
One I cannot miss.
1868
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:52,340
Even for you.
1869
01:41:53,250 --> 01:41:55,310
Come back an hour from now.
1870
01:41:55,420 --> 01:41:59,170
Your friend will have to wait.
I shall not let you go till dark.
1871
01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:04,970
Perhaps a little before dark,
I must go.
1872
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:09,080
Oh, then tell me now
the court news. My Gazette.
1873
01:42:10,390 --> 01:42:14,190
Ah, yes, well, let me see.
1874
01:42:16,350 --> 01:42:20,840
Saturday, 19th, the King
fell ill after eight helpings of
1875
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:22,170
grape marmalade.
1876
01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:26,320
Grape marmalade will
no longer be served at court.
1877
01:42:28,190 --> 01:42:33,010
Sunday, the royal pulse
is now normal.
1878
01:42:34,630 --> 01:42:37,930
Monday, everyone was
talking about the success
1879
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:39,600
of Moliere's new play.
1880
01:42:40,830 --> 01:42:46,110
Tuesday, the King fell ill
after six helpings of marone glacee.
1881
01:42:47,910 --> 01:42:50,130
Marone glacee will no
longer be served at court.
1882
01:42:51,710 --> 01:42:55,700
Wednesday, the Compte de Firske
spoke to Madame de Monte Glas.
1883
01:42:56,500 --> 01:42:59,380
She said....no.
1884
01:43:01,480 --> 01:43:07,450
Thursday.... Nothing.
1885
01:43:07,490 --> 01:43:10,580
Friday, Madame de Monte Glas
said yes.
1886
01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:18,800
Saturday, 25th....
1887
01:43:19,450 --> 01:43:20,520
Cyrano!
1888
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:24,010
What is it?
Cyrano!
1889
01:43:28,660 --> 01:43:31,300
- Oh, no, no, it is nothing.
- What?
1890
01:43:31,750 --> 01:43:34,200
The old wound at Arras
sometimes...
1891
01:43:34,230 --> 01:43:36,980
- My poor friend.
- No, no, no, it is nothing.
1892
01:43:37,830 --> 01:43:39,350
It will soon be gone.
1893
01:43:41,010 --> 01:43:44,990
(gasp) There. 'Tis gone.
1894
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:48,480
We all have
our old wounds.
1895
01:43:49,020 --> 01:43:53,920
I have mine here,
under this faded scrap of writing.
1896
01:43:55,380 --> 01:43:57,340
It's hard to read now.
1897
01:43:58,370 --> 01:44:01,340
All for the blots
and tears.
1898
01:44:01,370 --> 01:44:02,560
His letter?
1899
01:44:03,480 --> 01:44:06,650
Did you not promise me,
that someday you would let me read it?
1900
01:44:07,090 --> 01:44:12,350
- This letter? You wish...?
- I do wish it....today.
1901
01:44:22,650 --> 01:44:24,230
Open it and read.
1902
01:44:49,700 --> 01:44:54,660
"Farewell, Roxane,
because today I die."
1903
01:44:54,690 --> 01:44:56,000
Aloud?
1904
01:44:57,180 --> 01:45:00,150
"I know that it will be today,
my own dearly beloved.
1905
01:45:01,630 --> 01:45:04,900
"Yet, my heart still so heavy
with love I have not told.
1906
01:45:06,440 --> 01:45:11,330
"And I shall die without telling you.
1907
01:45:11,900 --> 01:45:15,740
"No more shall my eyes
drink the sight of you like wine,
1908
01:45:16,230 --> 01:45:19,180
"never more with a look
that is a kiss,
1909
01:45:19,740 --> 01:45:22,430
"follow the sweet
grace of you."
1910
01:45:22,470 --> 01:45:24,400
How you read it.
His letter.
1911
01:45:24,440 --> 01:45:26,300
"I remember now the way you have
1912
01:45:26,340 --> 01:45:30,280
"of pushing back a lock of hair
with one hand from your forehead,
1913
01:45:30,860 --> 01:45:33,270
- "and my heart cries out..."
- His letter!
1914
01:45:33,310 --> 01:45:35,000
- "cries out and keeps crying."
1915
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:38,240
- You read it so...
- "Farewell, my dear, my dearest,"
1916
01:45:38,270 --> 01:45:40,650
- In a voice...
- "my own heart's own,"
1917
01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:44,230
- "my own treasure,"
- In such a voice!
- "my...love."
1918
01:45:44,260 --> 01:45:47,140
Yes, I remember hearing long ago.
1919
01:45:47,490 --> 01:45:52,210
"I am never away from you.
Even now I shall not leave you.
1920
01:45:53,110 --> 01:45:56,360
"In another world, I shall
still be that one who loves you,
1921
01:45:56,390 --> 01:46:00,110
"loves you beyond measure,
beyond..."
1922
01:46:09,180 --> 01:46:11,130
But, how can you read it now?
1923
01:46:14,420 --> 01:46:17,810
And all those 14 years
he has been the old friend
1924
01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:19,650
who came to me to be amusing.
1925
01:46:20,930 --> 01:46:23,170
- Roxane.
- It was you.
1926
01:46:23,910 --> 01:46:24,880
No, no, Roxane, no.
1927
01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:28,100
And I might have know it every time
that I heard you speak my name.
1928
01:46:28,130 --> 01:46:31,690
- No, it was not I.
- It was you!
- I swear.
1929
01:46:32,460 --> 01:46:34,810
- The letters. That was you.
- No.
1930
01:46:35,140 --> 01:46:38,960
- And the dear foolish words.
That was you.
- No.
1931
01:46:39,190 --> 01:46:43,290
- And the voice in the dark.
That was you.
- On my honor!
1932
01:46:43,330 --> 01:46:47,170
And the soul.
It was all you.
1933
01:46:47,270 --> 01:46:49,180
I never loved you.
1934
01:46:49,350 --> 01:46:50,850
Yes, you loved me.
1935
01:46:50,970 --> 01:46:52,740
Even now you love me.
1936
01:46:53,660 --> 01:46:55,610
(gasp)
No!
1937
01:46:55,650 --> 01:46:57,920
And twice you're great to know.
1938
01:46:57,950 --> 01:47:00,760
Oh, no, no, my own dear love,
I love you not.
1939
01:47:03,340 --> 01:47:05,840
Why were you silent
for so many years?
1940
01:47:06,580 --> 01:47:07,860
All the while.
1941
01:47:08,090 --> 01:47:11,110
Every night, and every day,
he gave me nothing.
1942
01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:13,120
You knew that.
1943
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:16,680
You knew in that letter
lying on my breast.
1944
01:47:17,940 --> 01:47:19,230
Your tears.
1945
01:47:20,580 --> 01:47:22,770
You knew they
were your tears.
1946
01:47:26,390 --> 01:47:28,270
The blood was his.
1947
01:47:29,370 --> 01:47:30,200
Cyrano!
1948
01:47:32,690 --> 01:47:34,320
Here! He's here.
1949
01:47:34,490 --> 01:47:36,270
Oh, what recklessness.
1950
01:47:36,310 --> 01:47:36,570
No.
1951
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:37,430
I knew it!
1952
01:47:37,490 --> 01:47:40,440
- Oh Madame he has killed
himself coming here.
- No. Shh.
1953
01:47:40,700 --> 01:47:42,220
That drink is, what is it?
1954
01:47:42,290 --> 01:47:45,510
Nothing. I did not
finish my Gazette.
1955
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:49,970
Saturday, 26th, an hour
or so before dinner
1956
01:47:50,540 --> 01:47:55,340
Ms. de Bergerac died,
foully murdered.
1957
01:47:55,690 --> 01:47:57,470
Cyrano, what have
they done to you?
1958
01:47:57,600 --> 01:47:59,540
How fate loves a jest.
1959
01:47:59,980 --> 01:48:03,000
Behold me ambushed,
taken unawares.
1960
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:08,830
My noble foe, a lackey.
My battlefield, a gutter.
1961
01:48:09,490 --> 01:48:10,950
It seems too logical.
1962
01:48:11,370 --> 01:48:13,040
They have missed everything,
1963
01:48:13,820 --> 01:48:15,290
even my death.
1964
01:48:16,330 --> 01:48:17,950
Sisters! Sisters!
1965
01:48:17,990 --> 01:48:21,350
No, do not go away.
I may not be here when you return.
1966
01:48:22,030 --> 01:48:23,760
You shall not die.
1967
01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:25,460
(sobbing)
I love you.
1968
01:48:25,490 --> 01:48:27,410
No, my lady,
it's not in the story.
1969
01:48:28,100 --> 01:48:29,900
When beauty said
I love you to the beast
1970
01:48:29,930 --> 01:48:32,990
all his ugliness changed
and dissolved, like magic.
1971
01:48:33,550 --> 01:48:37,370
But, you see,
I am still the same.
1972
01:48:37,440 --> 01:48:39,430
And I have
done this to you.
1973
01:48:39,470 --> 01:48:40,620
You? Why no.
1974
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:42,060
All my fault, mine!
1975
01:48:42,100 --> 01:48:43,320
On the contrary.
1976
01:48:44,060 --> 01:48:47,080
I have never know womanhood
in its sweetness, but for you.
1977
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:50,750
My mother did not
like to look at me.
1978
01:48:52,050 --> 01:48:53,530
I never had a sister.
1979
01:48:54,880 --> 01:49:01,130
Later, I feared those sweethearts
with mockery behind her smile.
1980
01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:06,150
But, because of you,
I have had across my life
1981
01:49:06,930 --> 01:49:10,600
one whispering, silken gown.
1982
01:49:12,780 --> 01:49:15,200
I never loved but
one man in my life.
1983
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:18,680
I have lost him, twice.
1984
01:49:19,660 --> 01:49:23,540
(sobbing)
1985
01:49:23,570 --> 01:49:27,890
I would not have you mourning
any less that good, noble Christian.
1986
01:49:28,980 --> 01:49:32,570
But, perhaps, I ask only this,
1987
01:49:34,100 --> 01:49:36,370
when the great cold
gathers around my bones,
1988
01:49:37,770 --> 01:49:42,590
you may give a double
meaning to your widow's weeds.
1989
01:49:43,910 --> 01:49:50,900
The tears you let fall for him,
may for a little, be my tears.
1990
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:53,040
Oh, my love!
1991
01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:58,400
No, not here.
Not lying down.
1992
01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:01,300
Let no one help me.
No one need help me.
1993
01:50:06,310 --> 01:50:07,430
It is coming.
1994
01:50:08,260 --> 01:50:11,460
I feel already shod with marble.
1995
01:50:12,720 --> 01:50:13,950
Gloved with lead.
1996
01:50:14,730 --> 01:50:16,700
Very well,
let the old fellow come now.
1997
01:50:17,190 --> 01:50:19,600
He shall find me
on my feet.
1998
01:50:21,670 --> 01:50:23,120
Sword in hand.
1999
01:50:23,160 --> 01:50:24,110
Cyrano!
2000
01:50:24,500 --> 01:50:25,890
He'd delirious.
2001
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:28,000
I see him now.
2002
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:28,700
He grins.
2003
01:50:28,740 --> 01:50:30,750
He is looking at my nose!
2004
01:50:30,790 --> 01:50:31,820
That skeleton.
2005
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:33,730
You there.
2006
01:50:33,970 --> 01:50:34,670
Who are you?
2007
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:36,950
A hundred against one, eh?
2008
01:50:37,300 --> 01:50:40,020
I know them now,
my ancient enemies.
2009
01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:40,960
Falsehood, there!
2010
01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:42,470
There, Prejudice!
2011
01:50:42,490 --> 01:50:44,100
Compromise, Cowardice.
2012
01:50:44,580 --> 01:50:47,160
What's that?
Surrender? No, never!
2013
01:50:47,190 --> 01:50:48,430
Never!
2014
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:50,820
Ah, you too, Vanity.
2015
01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:54,180
I knew you would
overthrow me in the end.
2016
01:50:54,210 --> 01:50:57,310
No, I fight, I fight on,
I fight....ow!
2017
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:01,000
(gasping)
2018
01:51:06,540 --> 01:51:08,550
All my laurels
you have riven away.
2019
01:51:10,290 --> 01:51:11,770
And my roses.
2020
01:51:12,940 --> 01:51:15,600
Yet, in spite of you,
there is one crown
2021
01:51:15,630 --> 01:51:16,980
I made away with me.
2022
01:51:17,020 --> 01:51:20,380
And tonight when I
enter before God,
2023
01:51:21,850 --> 01:51:27,140
my salute shall sweep away
the stars from the blue threshold.
2024
01:51:28,310 --> 01:51:33,240
One thing without stain,
unspotted from the world,
2025
01:51:34,240 --> 01:51:40,610
in spite of doom, mine own,
...and that is...
2026
01:51:43,220 --> 01:51:51,220
my...white...plume...

In seventeenth-century Paris, poet and supreme swordsman Cyrano de Bergerac (José Ferrer) stops a play from being shown because he ostensibly cannot stand the bombastic style of the principal actor, Montfleury (Arthur Blake). An annoyed aristocratic fop, the Vicomte de Valvert (Albert Cavens), provokes him into a duel by tritely insulting Cyrano's enormous nose. Cyrano first mocks his lack of wit, improvising numerous inventive ways in which Valvert could have phrased it (much to the amusement of the audience). He then composes a ballade for the occasion on the spot and recites it during the sword fight. With the last line, he stabs his opponent.
Cyrano's friend Le Bret (Morris Carnovsky), Captain of the Gascony Guards, warns him he has made powerful enemies of his victim's friends, but he is unconcerned. When Le Bret presses him to reveal the real reason he hates Montfleury, Cyrano admits that he became jealous when he saw the actor smiling at his beautiful cousin Roxane (Mala Powers). He confesses that he is in love with her, but harbors no hope of it being returned because of his nose. When he receives a request from Roxane to see her in the morning, he is finally emboldened to act.
Then pastry chef and fellow poet Ragueneau (Lloyd Corrigan) approaches him for help. Ragueneau has learned that a nobleman he had mocked with his verses, the Comte De Guiche (Ralph Clanton), has hired a hundred ruffians to teach him a lesson. Cyrano escorts him, kills eight of the horde, and drives off the rest.
The next day, before he can tell Roxane of his feelings, she informs him that she has fallen in love with a handsome guardsman, Christian de Neuvillette (William Prince), though she has not even spoken to him. Cyrano hides his devastation and agrees to help her.
Cyrano befriends the young man, who is in Cyrano's guards' unit, and discovers that he is infatuated with Roxane, but is too inept with words to woo her. To help him, Cyrano composes Christian's love letters to Roxane, which she finds irresistible. Later, Christian decides he wants no more help and tries to speak to Roxane face to face, but fails miserably and she re-enters her house in an angry huff. Cyrano, hiding in the bushes, comes to his rescue, but this time by imitating Christian's voice and speaking to Roxane from under her balcony. He is so eloquent that he (unintentionally) wins a kiss for Christian from Roxane.
When the arrogant Comte De Guiche, who is also wooing Roxane, pressures her to marry him, Cyrano delays him long enough for her to wed Christian instead. Furious, De Guiche, Christian's commander, orders him to join his unit immediately for a war against the Spanish, preventing the couple from spending their wedding night together.
With Cyrano under his command as well, De Guiche earns the swordsman's respect by his conduct in the war. From the field, Cyrano sends Roxane letters every day, supposedly written by Christian. Roxane visits her husband in camp and tells him that she now has fallen in love with him not merely for his looks but because of his words, and would love him even if he were ugly. Realizing that she really loves Cyrano, Christian gets his rival to agree to tell Roxane the truth and let her decide between them. But before the opportunity arises, Christian volunteers for a dangerous mission and is fatally wounded, silencing Cyrano.
Roxane enters a convent in mourning. Years pass, with Cyrano visiting Roxane weekly, having retired from the military and writing satirical articles mocking the nobility. De Guiche, who has also befriended her and has come to respect Cyrano, has overheard a courtier plotting against Cyrano. De Guiche warns Roxane that Cyrano's life may be in danger. One night, Cyrano is lured into an ambush; the poet is run down by a carriage. Near death, he hides his injuries and goes to keep his appointment with Roxane for the last time. His secret love for Roxane is finally revealed when he recites from memory the last of his love letters, which she has kept, but it is too late. Cyrano first slips into delirium, then dies, leaving Roxane to mourn a second time.

6
00:02:37,660 --> 00:02:41,460
- Clown! The king of clowns!
Leave the stage at once!
7
00:02:43,970 --> 00:02:44,620
- Who is it?
8
00:02:44,650 --> 00:02:47,570
It's Cyrano.
I was afraid he'd do this.
9
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,250
<i>Thrice happy he
who hides from pomp and power...</i>
10
00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:54,910
- Wretch! Did I not forbid
you to appear this month?
11
00:02:57,940 --> 00:02:59,260
- Let's be quiet.
- Quiet!
12
00:03:00,190 --> 00:03:01,380
- Go on Montfleury.
13
00:03:04,270 --> 00:03:06,400
<i>Thrice happy he who...</i>
14
00:03:06,430 --> 00:03:07,630
- He who, indeed.
15
00:03:07,660 --> 00:03:10,730
- Donkeys say rather Hee-Haw!
16
00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:17,790
Begone! Or must I come and
help you off the stage myself?
17
00:03:21,130 --> 00:03:24,000
What! Still there?
18
00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:28,220
<i>Where balmy zephyrs
fan his burning cheeks... </i>
19
00:03:28,250 --> 00:03:32,050
Fat swine, if you dare breathe
on balmy zephyr more
20
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,640
I'll fan your cheeks
for you!
21
00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:36,480
Monsieur, won't you all
protect me?
22
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,090
- Proceed, proceed.
- Go on.
23
00:03:38,130 --> 00:03:40,880
Sir, I will not allow you
to insult me in this manner.
24
00:03:40,910 --> 00:03:43,520
Really?
What manner would you prefer?
25
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:44,850
Quiet, down there!
26
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,940
- We'll tolerate
no more of this.
27
00:03:47,870 --> 00:03:49,720
Go on with the play,
Montfleury.
28
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:52,380
(shouting criticisms)
29
00:03:52,410 --> 00:03:54,480
Unless these gentlemen
retain your seats
30
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,790
my sword may
bite their ribbons.
31
00:03:56,830 --> 00:03:58,650
Who is this braggart?
32
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,070
My cousin, sir.
33
00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:04,710
Well, Montfleury,
still no exit?
34
00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:06,930
- Very well then,
I enter
35
00:04:06,970 --> 00:04:11,740
with knife, to carve
this fat, stuffed goose.
36
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:14,800
(ominous music begins)
37
00:04:14,830 --> 00:04:18,080
(crowd clamors)
38
00:04:20,030 --> 00:04:22,170
I pray, do not crowd
my scabbard here.
39
00:04:22,210 --> 00:04:24,320
She may put her
tongue out at you.
40
00:04:24,350 --> 00:04:27,140
(shouted recriminations)
41
00:04:29,870 --> 00:04:30,990
Silence.
42
00:04:31,910 --> 00:04:33,830
I say be silent!
43
00:04:35,450 --> 00:04:38,260
And I offer one universal
challenge to you all:
44
00:04:38,460 --> 00:04:41,410
Will all who wish to die,
please raise their hands.
45
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,360
Approach, young heroes.
I will take your names.
46
00:04:45,140 --> 00:04:47,830
To the first man who falls
I'll build a monument.
47
00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:49,710
Who will head the list?
48
00:04:50,010 --> 00:04:50,780
You, sir?
49
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,000
No.
50
00:04:52,830 --> 00:04:53,610
You?
51
00:04:54,470 --> 00:04:55,170
No, no.
52
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,770
Anyone?
53
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,600
Anyone at all?
54
00:05:01,110 --> 00:05:03,550
Not one...name?
55
00:05:04,260 --> 00:05:06,420
Not one finger?
56
00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:10,260
Very well then,
I go on.
57
00:05:16,130 --> 00:05:18,810
Attend to me, Full Moon.
58
00:05:21,340 --> 00:05:24,190
I clap my hands three times, thus.
59
00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:26,740
(three claps)
60
00:05:26,770 --> 00:05:30,320
At the third, you will...
eclipse yourself.
61
00:05:30,490 --> 00:05:31,390
Ready!
62
00:05:32,110 --> 00:05:32,910
One.
63
00:05:34,010 --> 00:05:34,900
(clap)
64
00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:36,070
How dare you.
65
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:37,210
I demand!
66
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,070
I insist.
67
00:05:38,110 --> 00:05:40,150
- I call upon all the nobles...
- Two!
68
00:05:41,010 --> 00:05:42,080
(clap)
69
00:05:42,110 --> 00:05:43,090
This is an outrage.
70
00:05:43,130 --> 00:05:44,040
You hear, an outrage.
71
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:46,620
Nothing on earth
will move me from this stage.
72
00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:48,800
Three!
73
00:05:49,570 --> 00:05:49,910
(clap)
74
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:55,410
(laughter)
75
00:05:56,260 --> 00:05:59,210
Fair ladies and noble gentlemen...
- Boo!
76
00:05:59,250 --> 00:06:02,560
(laughter)
77
00:06:02,950 --> 00:06:04,210
But, Monsieur de Bergerac,
78
00:06:04,250 --> 00:06:07,490
why have you done this
to our Montfleury, an admirable actor?
79
00:06:07,530 --> 00:06:10,090
I have two reasons,
either one conclusive.
80
00:06:10,670 --> 00:06:12,800
First, he is an
abominable actor,
81
00:06:12,830 --> 00:06:15,870
who mouths his verse
and moans his tragedy.
82
00:06:16,350 --> 00:06:17,630
Second,....
83
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:20,970
Well, that's my secret.
84
00:06:22,530 --> 00:06:25,280
But...
But you've closed the play!
85
00:06:25,310 --> 00:06:26,880
It is not a very good play.
86
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:28,970
Huh!
And of their money?
87
00:06:29,010 --> 00:06:31,080
Possibly you would like
that returned to these good people.
88
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:31,960
Yes?
89
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,360
Yes.
90
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:35,830
Here,...catch!
91
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:37,920
(crowd murmurs)
92
00:06:38,410 --> 00:06:41,960
Well, Monsieur, you are hereby
authorized to close our play every night.
93
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,200
On these terms.
94
00:06:43,230 --> 00:06:43,740
(laughter)
95
00:06:43,780 --> 00:06:46,400
Ladies and gentlemen,
your money will be returned.
96
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,250
Kindly pass out, quietly.
97
00:06:48,290 --> 00:06:50,030
Goodnight, goodnight.
98
00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:53,220
(crowd accepts
in good spirits)
99
00:06:55,740 --> 00:06:57,120
(until...)
100
00:06:59,530 --> 00:07:02,610
Your cousin is an
extraordinary man, Madame.
101
00:07:02,650 --> 00:07:04,080
Oh, I agree.
102
00:07:04,410 --> 00:07:08,550
Soldier, poet, philosopher,
musician, playwright.
103
00:07:08,580 --> 00:07:09,570
All those?
104
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,360
Yes, and the best
swordsman in Paris.
105
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,310
Really?
106
00:07:14,340 --> 00:07:17,060
Now, I should have thought
the Vicomte here had that honor.
107
00:07:17,310 --> 00:07:21,360
Tell me, Madame, that
comic mask, that nose,
108
00:07:21,390 --> 00:07:23,300
presently he will take it off?
109
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:25,950
No, Monsieur, he keeps it.
110
00:07:26,450 --> 00:07:29,350
And heaven help
the man who smiles.
111
00:07:29,850 --> 00:07:31,060
Good night.
112
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,880
Oh, Monsieur!
113
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,980
Monsieur!
114
00:07:40,020 --> 00:07:42,710
Uh, when do you leave Paris?
115
00:07:43,210 --> 00:07:44,100
Sir?
116
00:07:44,250 --> 00:07:46,280
Why, after what you've
just done to Montfleury,
117
00:07:46,310 --> 00:07:48,750
did you not know that
the Compte de Guiche was his patron?
118
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:50,190
Who's yours?
119
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:52,140
No one.
120
00:07:52,170 --> 00:07:52,940
No one?
121
00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:53,870
No patron?
122
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:54,630
I said not.
123
00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:56,900
But the Compte de Guiche
has a long arm.
124
00:07:56,930 --> 00:07:58,900
Mine is longer
by three feet of steel.
125
00:07:59,530 --> 00:08:00,180
Yes, but..
126
00:08:00,860 --> 00:08:02,160
but, what a scare...
127
00:08:02,190 --> 00:08:02,990
You may go now.
128
00:08:03,020 --> 00:08:04,510
- but...
- You may go.
129
00:08:05,810 --> 00:08:08,620
Well, tell me,
why are you staring at my nose?
130
00:08:08,650 --> 00:08:10,160
Oh, I was not staring.
131
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:11,630
Does it astonish you?
132
00:08:11,660 --> 00:08:13,920
Why n...Why no, I've been careful
not to look.
133
00:08:13,950 --> 00:08:15,510
Oh, and why not, if you please?
134
00:08:15,550 --> 00:08:16,730
It disgusts you, then?
135
00:08:16,770 --> 00:08:17,880
But, no, I just...
136
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,700
Does its color appear
to you unwholesome?
137
00:08:19,730 --> 00:08:20,480
By no means.
138
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,310
Then, possibly you find it
just a trifle large?
139
00:08:22,340 --> 00:08:24,500
No, small, very small, tiny!
140
00:08:24,530 --> 00:08:25,640
Infinitesimal!
141
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,960
What?
You accuse me of absurdity?
142
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,730
Small, my nose?
Why magnificent, my nose!
143
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,900
You pug, you knob,
you button head,
144
00:08:34,930 --> 00:08:37,170
know that I glory
in this nose of mine!
145
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,400
For a great nose
indicates a great man,
146
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:45,440
congenial, courteous,
intellectual, virile, courageous.
147
00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:48,050
Whilst that face of yours,
148
00:08:48,370 --> 00:08:54,070
that blank, inglorious concavity
which my right hand finds on top of you,
149
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:59,630
is as devoid of pride, of poetry,
of soul, of picturesqueness,
150
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:04,810
of contour, of character,
of nose, in short,
151
00:09:04,850 --> 00:09:09,740
as that which is at the bottom of
that limp spine of yours my left foot...
- Oh, help!
152
00:09:09,780 --> 00:09:11,550
(laughter)
153
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:13,840
Presently, this fellow
will grow tiresome.
154
00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:16,590
Oh, he blows his horn.
155
00:09:17,330 --> 00:09:19,800
- Well, will no one
put him in his place?
156
00:09:20,270 --> 00:09:22,660
If you would all me.
Observe.
157
00:09:25,090 --> 00:09:31,260
Monsieur, your nose,
your nose is rather large.
158
00:09:34,450 --> 00:09:35,400
Rather?
159
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,350
Oh, well.
160
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:37,620
Is that all?
161
00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:38,540
Well, of course, you...
162
00:09:38,570 --> 00:09:40,400
Ah, no young sir, you're too simple.
163
00:09:40,430 --> 00:09:42,620
Why, you might have
said a great many things.
164
00:09:42,650 --> 00:09:44,800
Why waste your opportunity?
165
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:45,860
For example, thus...
166
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:47,450
Aggressive---
167
00:09:47,490 --> 00:09:51,040
I, sir, if that great nose were mine,
I would have it amputated on the spot.
168
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:52,710
Practical---
169
00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:56,570
How do you drink with such a nose.
You must have had a cup made especially.
170
00:09:56,850 --> 00:09:57,880
Descriptive---
171
00:09:57,910 --> 00:10:00,570
'Tis a rock, a crag, a cape.
172
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,510
A cape, say rather, a peninsula.
173
00:10:05,890 --> 00:10:06,990
Inquisitive---
174
00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:11,400
Uh, what is that receptacle,
a razor case or a portfolio?
175
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,680
Kindly---
176
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,840
Ah, do you love the little birds so much
that when they come and sing to you,
177
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,690
you give them this to perch on?
178
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,570
Cautious---
179
00:10:20,610 --> 00:10:24,120
Take care. A weight like that
might make you top-heavy.
180
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,250
Eloquent---
181
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,510
When it blows the typhoon howls
and the clouds darken.
182
00:10:29,580 --> 00:10:30,400
Dramatic---
183
00:10:30,430 --> 00:10:34,690
When it bleeds...the Red Sea.
184
00:10:35,540 --> 00:10:36,530
Simple---
185
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:39,640
Eh, when do they
unveil the monument?
186
00:10:40,020 --> 00:10:40,900
Military---
187
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:43,510
Beware, a secret weapon!
188
00:10:44,290 --> 00:10:45,620
Enterprising---
189
00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:48,080
What a sigh for some perfumer!
190
00:10:48,490 --> 00:10:49,300
Respectful---
191
00:10:49,330 --> 00:10:52,050
Uh sir, I recognize in you
a man of parts,
192
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,740
a man of...prominence.
193
00:10:54,770 --> 00:10:56,500
Or, Literary---
194
00:10:56,530 --> 00:10:59,360
Was this the nose
that launched a thousand ships?
195
00:11:00,010 --> 00:11:02,850
These, my dear sir, are things
you might have said had you
196
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,690
some tinge of letters or of wit
to color your discourse.
197
00:11:05,810 --> 00:11:07,970
Bit wit not so.
You never had an atom.
198
00:11:08,270 --> 00:11:14,480
And of letters, you need
but three to write you down, a..s..s.
199
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:16,530
Ass.
200
00:11:16,570 --> 00:11:18,040
- (laughter)
- You, sir!
201
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,600
Dolt! Bumpkin! Fool!
202
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:26,620
How do you do, and I,
Cyrano Savinien Hercule de Bergerac.
203
00:11:26,650 --> 00:11:28,050
Vicomte, come.
204
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,650
Such arrogance.
This scarecrow who...
205
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:31,850
Look at him!
206
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,120
No ribbons. No lace.
Not even gloves!
207
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,700
True. I carry my adornments
only on my soul.
208
00:11:39,740 --> 00:11:41,860
Decked with deeds
instead of ribbons.
209
00:11:41,890 --> 00:11:43,420
Mantled in my good name,
210
00:11:43,460 --> 00:11:45,350
and crowned with a
white plume of freedom.
211
00:11:45,380 --> 00:11:46,130
But..
212
00:11:46,170 --> 00:11:47,510
But, I have no gloves.
213
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:48,630
A pity, too.
214
00:11:48,670 --> 00:11:51,630
I had one, the last one of an old pair,
and lost that.
215
00:11:51,660 --> 00:11:53,250
Very careless of me.
216
00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:55,750
Some gentleman offered me
an impertinence.
217
00:11:55,790 --> 00:11:59,840
I left it in his face.
218
00:11:59,870 --> 00:12:00,840
So be it!
219
00:12:02,110 --> 00:12:05,050
You shall die exquisitely
220
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,160
Oh, a poet.
221
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,640
Oh, yes, a poet if you will.
222
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:11,510
So, uh, while we fight,
I'll improvise a ballad for you,
223
00:12:11,540 --> 00:12:15,270
and as I end the refrain,
...skhrch!...thrust home.
224
00:12:15,310 --> 00:12:16,280
Will you?
225
00:12:17,180 --> 00:12:18,130
I will.
226
00:12:21,820 --> 00:12:23,420
(excited crowd)
227
00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:26,890
Ballad au Duel
at the Theatre de Burgoyne
228
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,320
between de Bergerac,
and uh.....a barbarian.
229
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,240
What do you mean by that?
230
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,000
Oh, that?
231
00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:34,960
The title.
232
00:12:34,990 --> 00:12:36,570
(laughter)
233
00:12:36,610 --> 00:12:38,200
Stop. Let me choose my rhyme.
234
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:47,640
So. Here we go.
235
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:50,070
Lightly I toss my hat away.
236
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:55,440
Languidly o'er my arm let fall
the cloak that covers my bright array.
237
00:12:55,510 --> 00:13:00,770
Then, out swords,
and to work withal.
238
00:13:02,660 --> 00:13:05,720
A Lancelot in his lady's hall,
239
00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:10,580
A Spartacus at the Hippodrome,
240
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,340
I dally a while with you..
241
00:13:13,380 --> 00:13:14,750
you jackall.
242
00:13:32,810 --> 00:13:34,360
Just as I end the refrain,
243
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,380
thrust home!
244
00:13:51,290 --> 00:13:54,220
Where shall I skewer my peacock again?
245
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,160
Nay, better for you
to have shunned this brawl.
246
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,010
Here in the heart
or your ribbons, gay,
247
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,610
in the belly
'neath you silken shawl?
248
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,130
Now, come my points floats,
light as the foam
249
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,640
ready to drive you
back to the wall,
250
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:20,030
and then as I end the refrain,
251
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,440
thrust home.
252
00:14:21,930 --> 00:14:23,210
Oh, for a rhyme.
253
00:14:23,580 --> 00:14:25,060
Why, your fight is fading.
254
00:14:25,420 --> 00:14:26,040
You break.
255
00:14:26,350 --> 00:14:26,970
You cower.
256
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:27,600
You cringe.
257
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:28,200
You crawl.
258
00:14:29,310 --> 00:14:30,740
How can I tell
you're allowed to say
259
00:14:30,780 --> 00:14:31,750
something to turn on my head
260
00:14:31,790 --> 00:14:32,720
forestall.....
261
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:33,660
Life with a tunny
262
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:34,970
death with a scall.
263
00:14:35,010 --> 00:14:36,760
Something to turn on my fancy roam,
264
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,670
free for a time till the rhyme's recall,
265
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,620
then as I end the refrain,
266
00:14:40,650 --> 00:14:41,620
thrust home!
267
00:14:43,810 --> 00:14:44,670
Refrain.
268
00:14:45,550 --> 00:14:48,960
Prince,
pray God that is Lord of all,
269
00:14:48,990 --> 00:14:50,840
pardon you soul,
270
00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:54,190
for your time has come.
271
00:14:56,860 --> 00:14:58,820
Pass! I fling you aslant, asprawl.
272
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:00,590
Then as I end the refrain,
273
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,680
thrust home!
274
00:15:41,820 --> 00:15:45,390
(shouts of hurray
and congratulation)
275
00:15:47,130 --> 00:15:49,470
Ladies and gentlemen,
please, please,
276
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:50,790
not until the performance is over.
277
00:15:51,070 --> 00:15:51,980
Close the house.
278
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:52,820
A strike,
279
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,340
but leave the lights.
280
00:15:54,380 --> 00:15:56,070
We rehearse the new
farce tonight.
281
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,240
Wait.
282
00:16:04,110 --> 00:16:05,570
You have only to watch a fight,
283
00:16:05,610 --> 00:16:07,530
or have you ruined
if you listen to them.
284
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:11,570
Think of the enemies you've made,
285
00:16:11,610 --> 00:16:14,050
Montfleury, the Vicomte,
if he lives,
286
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,380
all those foppish marquis,
the Comte de Guiche.
287
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:18,970
That politician.
288
00:16:19,010 --> 00:16:21,910
He's the Cardinal's nephew.
There's power there!
289
00:16:21,950 --> 00:16:23,330
And power here.
290
00:16:23,370 --> 00:16:24,680
Young fool!
291
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,540
Take an example from me.
292
00:16:26,570 --> 00:16:29,810
20 years a captain,
while others who know only
293
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,750
how to deploy their
forces at court
294
00:16:31,780 --> 00:16:33,890
now dangle a marshal's baton.
295
00:16:33,930 --> 00:16:37,360
Well, uh, someday
I will avenge you, too.
296
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,530
Impossible.
Come on, let's go to dinner.
297
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,830
Dinner?
No, not I.
298
00:16:41,860 --> 00:16:42,540
Why not?
299
00:16:42,580 --> 00:16:44,530
Because I have no money.
300
00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:46,150
But, the purse of gold.
301
00:16:46,180 --> 00:16:48,140
Farewell paternal pension.
302
00:16:48,180 --> 00:16:51,430
And you have
until the first of next month?
303
00:16:51,470 --> 00:16:52,310
Nothing.
304
00:16:53,140 --> 00:16:54,460
What a fool.
305
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:56,770
Yes, but, what a moment.
306
00:16:56,810 --> 00:16:57,670
- Pardon, Monsieur.
307
00:17:00,010 --> 00:17:01,770
A man ought
never to go hungry.
308
00:17:02,690 --> 00:17:04,150
I have everything here.
309
00:17:05,490 --> 00:17:06,360
Please.
310
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,080
My dear child, I cannot bend this Gascon
pride of mine to accept such a kindness.
311
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:11,820
But, I...
312
00:17:12,910 --> 00:17:15,810
Yet, for fear that
I may give you pain if I refuse,
313
00:17:16,550 --> 00:17:18,190
I will take something.
314
00:17:19,630 --> 00:17:20,660
A grape.
315
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:25,160
One only.
316
00:17:25,820 --> 00:17:27,170
And a glass of water.
317
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,650
No, clear.
318
00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:35,750
And, uh,...half a macaroon.
319
00:17:37,010 --> 00:17:38,100
Nothing more?
320
00:17:39,060 --> 00:17:39,920
Why, yes.
321
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,230
Your hand to kiss.
322
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,510
Thank you, sir.
323
00:18:02,090 --> 00:18:03,100
Good night.
324
00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:10,290
Idiot.
325
00:18:13,170 --> 00:18:13,890
Dinner.
326
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,160
Drink.
327
00:18:18,830 --> 00:18:19,720
Desert.
328
00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:24,670
Mon Dieux, I was hungry,
abominably.
329
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:26,320
Tell me.
330
00:18:26,590 --> 00:18:27,440
Anything.
331
00:18:27,790 --> 00:18:29,920
Why to you hate
this Montfleury?
332
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:32,860
A very bad actor.
333
00:18:32,890 --> 00:18:34,860
Ah, come now, the real
reason, the truth.
334
00:18:36,610 --> 00:18:39,600
That fat goat who cannot hold
his belly in his arms,
335
00:18:39,630 --> 00:18:42,590
still dreams of being
sweetly dangerous among the women.
336
00:18:43,230 --> 00:18:47,610
Sighs and languishes, making sheep's
eyes out of his great frog's face.
337
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:52,750
I hate him ever since one day
he dared smile upon....
338
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,220
Oh, my friend, I seemed to see over
some flower a great snail crawling.
339
00:19:00,090 --> 00:19:01,180
Eh, what?
340
00:19:02,170 --> 00:19:03,340
Is it possible?
341
00:19:04,890 --> 00:19:06,180
For me to love?
342
00:19:08,770 --> 00:19:09,660
I love.
343
00:19:10,370 --> 00:19:12,570
Whom?
May I know?
344
00:19:12,610 --> 00:19:13,620
Whom I love?
345
00:19:15,070 --> 00:19:16,000
Think a moment.
346
00:19:16,210 --> 00:19:17,280
Think of me.
347
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,670
Me, whom the plainest
woman would despise.
348
00:19:21,030 --> 00:19:25,010
Me, with this nose of mine that
marches on before me by a quarter of an hour.
349
00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:28,000
Whom shall I love.
350
00:19:29,890 --> 00:19:34,930
Why, of course, it must be the
woman in the world most beautiful.
351
00:19:35,780 --> 00:19:37,170
Most beautiful?
352
00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:42,920
In these eyes of mine....
beyond compare.
353
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:44,070
Wait.
354
00:19:44,510 --> 00:19:46,440
Your cousin, Roxane.
355
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,300
Yes.
356
00:19:50,170 --> 00:19:51,080
Roxane.
357
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,810
Well?
358
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,020
Why not?
If you love her, tell her so.
359
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,170
My old friend.
360
00:20:01,150 --> 00:20:03,550
Look at me and tell me how
much hope remains for me
361
00:20:03,580 --> 00:20:04,970
with this protuberance.
362
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,360
Ahhh, I have no more illusions.
363
00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:12,140
Now and then I may grow tender
walking alone in the blue of evening
364
00:20:12,170 --> 00:20:16,130
through some garden fresh with flowers
after the benediction of the rain.
365
00:20:16,980 --> 00:20:20,930
My poor big devil of a nose
inhales April.
366
00:20:21,460 --> 00:20:26,950
And I follow with my eyes where
some boy with a girl upon his arm,
367
00:20:27,510 --> 00:20:32,130
passes a patch of silver...
and I feel somehow....
368
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,490
I wish I had a woman, too,
369
00:20:36,670 --> 00:20:41,660
walking with me under the moon,
and holding my arm and smiling.
370
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:44,240
Then I dream.
371
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:46,140
I forget.
372
00:20:49,510 --> 00:20:53,210
And then I see the shadow
of my profile on the wall.
373
00:20:54,750 --> 00:20:56,050
My friend.
374
00:20:57,180 --> 00:20:58,230
My friend.
375
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,370
I have my bitter days,
knowing myself so ugly, so alone.
376
00:21:03,410 --> 00:21:05,260
Ah, but your wit, your courage,
377
00:21:05,540 --> 00:21:08,170
why that poor child who just
now offered you your dinner,
378
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,710
your saw it, her eyes
did not avoid you.
379
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,920
That is true.
380
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,930
Well, then, Roxane herself,
watching your duel, pale.
381
00:21:18,970 --> 00:21:19,480
Pale?
382
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,670
Yes, her lips parted.
Her hand at her breast, thus.
383
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,020
I saw it.
384
00:21:24,260 --> 00:21:27,260
Speak to her. Speak, man.
385
00:21:35,890 --> 00:21:37,550
She might laugh at me.
386
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:42,480
It is the one thing
in this world I fear.
387
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,490
Pardon, Monsieur,
a lady outside asking for you.
388
00:21:48,410 --> 00:21:49,750
Monsieur.
389
00:21:50,340 --> 00:21:51,270
A Duenna.
390
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,530
I have a message for you
from a...a certain lady.
391
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,760
She desires to know when
and where she may see you privately.
392
00:21:57,810 --> 00:22:00,070
She has certain
things to tell you.
393
00:22:00,690 --> 00:22:01,850
Certain...
394
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,010
Things!
395
00:22:04,230 --> 00:22:05,720
She wishes to see me?
396
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,410
We go tomorrow at dawn
to hear mass at St. Rupe
397
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,070
And afterwards, where
would you suggest?
398
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:12,630
Well, then, I...
399
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:15,300
- Where?
- Well?
400
00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:17,070
Ah....I am thinking.
401
00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:18,080
And you think?
402
00:22:19,770 --> 00:22:20,590
Where?
403
00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:22,060
The shop at Ragueneau's.
404
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:24,580
Yes, yes, Ragueneau,
the pastry cook.
405
00:22:24,620 --> 00:22:25,400
Who dwells?
406
00:22:26,650 --> 00:22:27,590
Rue Saint Honore.
407
00:22:27,630 --> 00:22:28,690
Eh...Rue Saint Honore.
408
00:22:28,730 --> 00:22:33,530
We are agreed. At 7 o'clock.
Until then. Adieu.
409
00:22:38,790 --> 00:22:39,940
I'll be there.
410
00:22:41,620 --> 00:22:44,110
Me! To see me!
411
00:22:44,260 --> 00:22:45,830
Ah, not quite so gloomy.
412
00:22:45,870 --> 00:22:47,580
After all, she knows
that I exist.
413
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,060
Imagine, she has
asked to see me!
414
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:52,240
So, now you're
going to be happy?
415
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,350
Happy.
I'm going to be a storm.
A flame!
416
00:22:55,390 --> 00:22:58,430
I need to fight whole
armies all alone!
417
00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,840
I have ten hearts!
418
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,280
I have a hundred arms!.
419
00:23:01,310 --> 00:23:04,450
I feel too strong
to war with mortals!
420
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,150
BRING ME GIANTS!
421
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:11,240
Quiet, please, shhh.
We are rehearsing back here.
422
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,600
So sorry.
Ha, ha, ha.
423
00:23:21,490 --> 00:23:22,280
Cyrano.
424
00:23:22,830 --> 00:23:23,630
Cyrano.
425
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,590
Ragueneau.
426
00:23:26,150 --> 00:23:27,910
Oh, thank goodness
you're still here.
427
00:23:27,950 --> 00:23:29,180
Well, what's the matter.
428
00:23:29,210 --> 00:23:30,410
I'm afraid to go home.
429
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,040
Why?
430
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,050
You know those
comic verses I wrote?
431
00:23:33,090 --> 00:23:34,830
About the congregation.
432
00:23:34,860 --> 00:23:37,260
Cyrano, he's hired ruffians.
Bullies.
433
00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:39,740
A hundred, waiting for
me on the way home.
434
00:23:39,780 --> 00:23:41,620
They're gonna beat me.
Cane me!
435
00:23:41,650 --> 00:23:44,450
Please, would you permit me
to spend the night with you?
436
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,420
A hundred men,
is that all?
437
00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:49,610
Ragueneau, you're
going home tonight.
438
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,630
But they're armed.
They're cutthroats!
439
00:23:51,690 --> 00:23:53,620
Take this lantern.
Forward march.
440
00:23:53,660 --> 00:23:55,760
I say that I'll be the man
to see you to your shop.
441
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,150
Not you, I want no help from you.
442
00:23:57,190 --> 00:23:58,510
For even for a hundred,
you're mad.
443
00:23:58,550 --> 00:23:59,730
Those are the odds I want.
444
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,420
Why for this pastry cook?
445
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,820
First, because this
pastry cook is a friend of mine.
446
00:24:04,930 --> 00:24:07,820
Second, because this
pastry cook is also a poet.
447
00:24:07,950 --> 00:24:09,360
And, most important,
448
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:12,000
if anything should
happen to this pastry cook,
449
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:16,870
tomorrow morning at seven
his shop will be closed.
450
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:19,590
Goodnight.
451
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,060
(a whistle signal)
452
00:25:37,430 --> 00:25:38,480
Cyrano. Help!
453
00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:43,580
Look out behind you!
454
00:26:22,750 --> 00:26:23,810
I have been robbed.
455
00:26:24,370 --> 00:26:26,070
- There are no hundred here.
456
00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:32,360
It's, it's, it's...
457
00:26:33,820 --> 00:26:35,230
Be quick. Inside.
458
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,550
Bolt the door!
459
00:26:48,510 --> 00:26:49,310
Ah!
460
00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:08,660
Yah!
461
00:27:10,460 --> 00:27:12,210
(ruffians shouting)
462
00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:01,010
Ah!
463
00:28:03,860 --> 00:28:04,560
Awk.
464
00:28:05,860 --> 00:28:08,030
(ruffians shouting)
465
00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:17,280
(Le Bret)
- Cyrano!
466
00:28:17,310 --> 00:28:18,320
- Hold!
467
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:34,330
Ah.
468
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,420
How do you feel?
469
00:28:37,460 --> 00:28:39,540
Oh, pleasantly exhilarated.
470
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:42,990
- Come, I know a little tavern not far...
- Where's Ragueneau?
471
00:28:43,310 --> 00:28:46,320
Ragueneau?
Ragueneau!
472
00:28:46,730 --> 00:28:49,510
Little boy, come out.
All's well!
473
00:28:50,330 --> 00:28:51,990
- Is it over?
- All over.
474
00:28:52,220 --> 00:28:53,020
Really?
475
00:28:54,500 --> 00:28:55,340
So soon?
476
00:28:55,370 --> 00:28:56,140
Ha, ha, ha.
477
00:28:56,170 --> 00:28:59,480
Oh, if only I'd had my sword.
How many did we kill?
478
00:28:59,510 --> 00:29:00,330
Oh, about eight.
479
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:00,960
Eight.
480
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,410
Eight!
481
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,420
Ohhhh.
482
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,910
This.....gentleman
begins to annoy me.
483
00:29:31,980 --> 00:29:33,630
(Ragueneau is a poet, too.)
484
00:29:35,060 --> 00:29:40,010
No. The sauce and meat must rhyme.
Add a pinch of marigold and thyme.
485
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,960
Your house, of course, needs a stronger roof.
Eh? There's proof.
486
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:45,830
Cyrano.
487
00:29:46,830 --> 00:29:47,500
Cyrano.
488
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,100
Come in and eat.
489
00:29:49,130 --> 00:29:51,110
- What time is it?
- Not quite seven.
490
00:29:51,130 --> 00:29:54,140
Oh, now, please, Cyrano.
A man without breakfast is like...
491
00:29:54,180 --> 00:29:56,720
No.
Could she have changed her mind?
492
00:29:56,750 --> 00:29:57,920
Aw, she wouldn't dare.
493
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,900
We were magnificent last night.
494
00:30:00,370 --> 00:30:01,830
And at the theater, too.
495
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,320
'Then, as I end the refrain'....
496
00:30:04,350 --> 00:30:07,390
When she arrives.
Where can we converse undisturbed?
497
00:30:07,420 --> 00:30:09,190
Wherever you like.
My shop is yours.
498
00:30:09,310 --> 00:30:11,900
The little dining room
is quite romantic.
499
00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:14,490
'Thrust home!'
Yea gods, what a line.
500
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,650
- 'Then as I end the re....'
- Vanish.
501
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:18,110
- Uh, huh, she's come?
- Shhhh.
502
00:30:18,140 --> 00:30:18,920
I swear.
503
00:30:27,340 --> 00:30:28,170
Welcome.
504
00:30:38,470 --> 00:30:40,510
- A pardon, one word.
- Oh, yes?
505
00:30:40,550 --> 00:30:41,520
Have you a good digestion?
506
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,430
Oh, wonderful.
507
00:30:43,290 --> 00:30:48,800
Eh, here are some éclairs.
Uh, creampuffs.
508
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,160
Some, uh, jellyrolls.
And do you like nature?
509
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,400
I adore it.
510
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,760
Go out and eat these in the sunshine.
Do not return.
511
00:30:56,790 --> 00:30:57,440
But why?
512
00:30:57,470 --> 00:30:58,910
Until you have finished them.
513
00:30:58,940 --> 00:31:00,340
(outside)
- What do I do then?
514
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,750
(door closes)
515
00:31:09,970 --> 00:31:13,000
Blessed above all others be the hour
when you remember to remember me,
516
00:31:13,230 --> 00:31:15,800
and came to tell me......what?
517
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,750
To tell you that....
518
00:31:19,060 --> 00:31:21,810
Before I dare tell you I....
519
00:31:22,020 --> 00:31:24,850
Are you, I wonder, still
the same big brother almost
520
00:31:24,890 --> 00:31:26,720
that you used to be
when we were children,
521
00:31:26,750 --> 00:31:29,570
playing by the pond
in the old garden down there?
522
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,570
At Bergerac.
Those lovely summers.
523
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,700
You use to make swords
out of bulrushes.
524
00:31:33,740 --> 00:31:35,810
And you, dandelions
also golden hair.
525
00:31:35,890 --> 00:31:37,930
In those days
I could tell you everything.
526
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,860
And you did
everything I wished.
527
00:31:40,060 --> 00:31:44,830
Little Roxane, a sweet tyrone
with short skirts and long hair.
528
00:31:44,860 --> 00:31:45,780
Was I pretty?
529
00:31:49,830 --> 00:31:51,270
Not too plain.
530
00:31:52,150 --> 00:31:54,490
Sometimes when you had fallen
or hurt your hand,
531
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,670
you used to come running to me,
and I would be your mother and say,
532
00:31:57,710 --> 00:32:02,770
oh, with a very grownup voice,
'Now, what have you been doing to yourself?'
533
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,300
'Let me see.'
534
00:32:05,890 --> 00:32:07,060
- Oh!
- No one that.
535
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:08,230
Wait, let me see.
536
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,540
Still. At your age?
537
00:32:12,010 --> 00:32:13,810
Now, how did you do that?
538
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,910
Playing with the big boys
at the Place de Neanne.
539
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:18,410
Come here.
540
00:32:19,330 --> 00:32:21,020
Such a wise little mother.
541
00:32:21,030 --> 00:32:24,740
And tell me, while I wash this
blood away, how many you played with?
542
00:32:24,770 --> 00:32:26,840
- Oh, about a hundred.
- A hundred?
543
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,950
- More or less.
- It can't be.
544
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:31,080
No.
545
00:32:31,670 --> 00:32:33,720
Tell me what you were
going to tell me.....
546
00:32:34,130 --> 00:32:35,320
if you dared.
547
00:32:36,190 --> 00:32:38,060
I think I do dare, now.
548
00:32:38,860 --> 00:32:41,450
It seems so like
those happy days long ago.
549
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,780
Yes, I dare.
550
00:32:44,350 --> 00:32:47,190
Listen....I love someone.
551
00:32:47,850 --> 00:32:48,440
Yes?
552
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,150
Someone who does not know.
553
00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:51,340
Yes?
554
00:32:51,450 --> 00:32:54,970
Someone who loves me, too,
but is afraid of me and keeps away
555
00:32:55,010 --> 00:32:56,340
and never says one word.
556
00:32:57,570 --> 00:32:58,270
(softly)
Yes.
557
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,210
Give my that hand.
558
00:33:01,870 --> 00:33:03,080
Why, how hot it is.
559
00:33:04,390 --> 00:33:06,390
Yes, he loves me.
I am sure of it.
560
00:33:06,740 --> 00:33:07,530
(softly)
Yes.
561
00:33:08,110 --> 00:33:10,730
And he is a soldier, too,
in your own regiment,
562
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,710
your own company.
563
00:33:11,740 --> 00:33:12,750
(loud)
Yes.
564
00:33:13,340 --> 00:33:14,480
Such a man.
565
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,280
He is proud, noble, young, brave,
566
00:33:18,610 --> 00:33:19,700
beautiful!
567
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:22,550
(softly)
Beautiful.
568
00:33:25,180 --> 00:33:26,040
What's the matter?
569
00:33:26,460 --> 00:33:27,160
Oh, nothing.
570
00:33:28,110 --> 00:33:30,210
It's this, my hand.
571
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,280
I love him.
That is all.
572
00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:38,230
And I have never seen him
anywhere except in the theater.
573
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,710
You have never spoken?
574
00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:42,790
Only with our hearts.
575
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,080
Well, then, how do you know?
576
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:50,270
Well, people talk about people,
and I hear things, and...
577
00:33:51,370 --> 00:33:52,700
and I know.
578
00:33:53,890 --> 00:33:55,540
(firmly)
You say he is in the guards?
579
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,530
His name?
580
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,270
Baron Christian de Neuvillette.
581
00:34:02,790 --> 00:34:03,910
You know him?
582
00:34:04,290 --> 00:34:05,650
He is not in the guards.
583
00:34:05,690 --> 00:34:07,020
Yes, since last week.
584
00:34:07,770 --> 00:34:09,550
He is only lately
come to Paris...
585
00:34:09,730 --> 00:34:11,140
from Normandy.
586
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,070
So soon.
So soon we lose our hearts.
587
00:34:15,570 --> 00:34:16,160
What...
(door opens)
588
00:34:16,190 --> 00:34:17,220
(Duenna)
- Monsieur de Bergerac
589
00:34:17,250 --> 00:34:18,850
- I have eaten all the cakes.
590
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,280
Good.
Now, go out and enjoy nature.
591
00:34:23,020 --> 00:34:26,110
But my dear child, you love
only words, wit, poetry.
592
00:34:26,150 --> 00:34:29,950
Why, for all you know,
the man may be a savage or a fool.
593
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:34,290
Not with such eyes.
I read his soul in them.
594
00:34:35,270 --> 00:34:38,360
Yes, all our souls are
written in our eyes.
595
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,720
And you have brought
me here to tell me this?
596
00:34:42,980 --> 00:34:45,890
I do not yet quite understand,
madam, the reason for your confidence.
597
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:52,640
They say, that in your company,
it frightens me, you are all Gascon.
598
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,850
We pick a quarrel with any outsider
who intrudes himself.
599
00:34:54,890 --> 00:34:56,250
Is that what you have heard?
600
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,150
- I'm so afraid for him.
- Not without reason.
601
00:34:59,190 --> 00:35:03,730
And I thought you...
it's you whom they all respect and fear.
602
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,590
You want me to defend
your little Baron?
603
00:35:08,630 --> 00:35:09,740
Will you?
604
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:11,670
Just for me.
605
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,440
Because I have always
been your friend.
606
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,790
And this is what
you want of me?
607
00:35:16,820 --> 00:35:18,430
Will you be his friend?
608
00:35:20,450 --> 00:35:22,200
I will be his friend.
609
00:35:22,230 --> 00:35:23,040
And never let him
fight a duel.
610
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,060
No, never.
611
00:35:24,090 --> 00:35:24,750
Promise?
612
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:26,980
I promise.
613
00:35:27,420 --> 00:35:30,860
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
I knew I could rely on you.
614
00:35:33,930 --> 00:35:35,410
Well, now I must go.
615
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,480
Oh, you never told
me about last night.
616
00:35:43,970 --> 00:35:45,790
Why, you must
have been a hero.
617
00:35:45,820 --> 00:35:50,240
Have write and tell me all about it,
and...about himself.
618
00:35:51,420 --> 00:35:54,330
Oh, you are a darling.
We are great friends, are we not?
619
00:35:54,860 --> 00:35:56,330
He must write to me.
620
00:35:58,390 --> 00:36:01,490
A hundred men against one.
You shall tell me the whole story
621
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:02,980
someday when we have time.
622
00:36:06,570 --> 00:36:10,170
A hundred men.
What courage!
623
00:36:14,030 --> 00:36:16,810
I have done better.
624
00:36:21,820 --> 00:36:22,450
Well?
625
00:36:24,890 --> 00:36:26,050
Let us leave this place.
626
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,620
But the whole company
is on its way here.
627
00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:28,330
Oh, no.
628
00:36:28,370 --> 00:36:30,870
On my heels. Naturally I told
them all about last night.
629
00:36:30,900 --> 00:36:31,880
They're wild.
630
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:32,830
Here they are.
631
00:36:32,860 --> 00:36:35,420
- Yes, but, why did you?
- Perhaps I can stop them.
632
00:36:36,210 --> 00:36:36,870
Never mind.
633
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,220
Cyrano!
634
00:36:39,260 --> 00:36:46,070
(greetings and cheers to Cyrano)
635
00:36:49,130 --> 00:36:51,570
Eight dead men in the street.
Scandalous.
636
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,010
You know my edict
against dueling, nephew.
637
00:36:54,050 --> 00:36:55,580
I expect to have it enforced.
638
00:36:55,610 --> 00:36:58,940
Furthermore, I wish to know
who was responsible for last night's
639
00:36:58,970 --> 00:37:00,410
outrage at the Place de Neanne.
640
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:01,840
I understand, Your Eminence.
641
00:37:02,050 --> 00:37:04,180
Very well.
And now I have news
642
00:37:04,210 --> 00:37:06,310
that should be more
to you liking.
643
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:13,410
I fear, in confidence, our
uneasy armistice with Spain is doomed.
644
00:37:13,450 --> 00:37:14,410
My colonelcy?
645
00:37:14,450 --> 00:37:16,670
You commission has been prepared.
646
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:18,890
Oh, thank you, uncle, thank you.
647
00:37:19,230 --> 00:37:20,630
Oh, one thing more.
648
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,600
Last night at the theater,
the duel in rhyme,
649
00:37:24,790 --> 00:37:26,970
that guardsman with a nose.
650
00:37:27,010 --> 00:37:30,240
- Bergerac, that impossible Gascon.
- Yes, impossible.
651
00:37:30,260 --> 00:37:32,300
- His treatment of Montfleury.
- Abominable.
652
00:37:32,330 --> 00:37:35,230
- The arrogance with which he closed the play.
- Incredible.
653
00:37:35,260 --> 00:37:38,130
- It will be a miracle if the Vicomte survives.
- A sorrow.
654
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,720
What will you do
with him, Your Eminence?
655
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,100
I? Nothing.
656
00:37:41,140 --> 00:37:43,290
I thought I might
leave that to you.
657
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,500
To me?
658
00:37:44,530 --> 00:37:48,270
Yes. Place him somewhere
in your service,
659
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:49,890
with a comfortable allowance.
660
00:37:49,930 --> 00:37:51,390
He looked a little threadbare.
661
00:37:51,430 --> 00:37:55,020
I...You...But, Your Eminence.
You detest dueling.
662
00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:55,960
Of course I do.
663
00:37:56,350 --> 00:37:58,070
Why didn't you prevent it?
664
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,350
I should much prefer
that monsieur de Beregrac
665
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,300
live by the pen,
rather than die by the sword.
666
00:38:06,590 --> 00:38:08,470
Do you not agree, Antoine?
667
00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:12,560
By all means, Your Eminence.
By all means.
668
00:38:14,830 --> 00:38:21,650
'And then, as I end the refrain...
thrust home.'
669
00:38:24,790 --> 00:38:28,740
(Carousing at Ragueneau's)
670
00:38:33,220 --> 00:38:39,860
(noisy celebration of Cyrano's
defeat of 'a hundred' ruffians)
671
00:38:44,210 --> 00:38:46,580
(Antoine Comte de Guiche enters)
672
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:48,620
Monsieur de Bergerac.
673
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,390
Your Excellency.
674
00:38:51,970 --> 00:38:54,750
I have come to express my....
675
00:38:54,790 --> 00:38:58,550
admiration for both
your exploits last night.
676
00:38:58,590 --> 00:39:01,290
Indeed. Thank you.
677
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,900
My dear fellow,
we may have had our differences,
678
00:39:04,930 --> 00:39:07,550
but I am disposed
to forget them.
679
00:39:07,570 --> 00:39:09,710
That is very generous
of you, sir.
680
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:10,560
No, truly.
681
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,970
You are, it seems, a man
of many skills.
682
00:39:14,010 --> 00:39:17,350
A rare combination
soldier and poet.
683
00:39:18,060 --> 00:39:21,750
- Would you care to join my following?
- No, sir.
684
00:39:21,790 --> 00:39:23,260
I do not follow.
685
00:39:23,770 --> 00:39:25,980
I am told you have
written a play.
686
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,510
As you know, my uncle,
the Cardinal, is also a dramatist.
687
00:39:29,540 --> 00:39:30,990
I might help you there.
688
00:39:31,150 --> 00:39:34,050
Cyrano, now at last
you can have it performed.
689
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,200
Why not?
690
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:36,620
I could take it to him.
691
00:39:37,860 --> 00:39:39,330
Really?
692
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,460
Of course.
Let him rewrite a few lines
693
00:39:41,490 --> 00:39:43,770
here and there, and
he'll find a theater for you.
694
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,230
Rewrite...my lines?
695
00:39:47,670 --> 00:39:49,150
Impossible.
696
00:39:49,190 --> 00:39:52,040
Uh, when he likes a thing,
he pays well.
697
00:39:52,070 --> 00:39:53,240
Yes, but not so well as I.
698
00:39:53,270 --> 00:39:55,460
When I have made a line
that sings itself
699
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:57,220
I pay myself a hundred times.
700
00:39:57,250 --> 00:39:58,940
You are proud, my friend.
701
00:39:58,970 --> 00:40:00,020
You have observed that?
702
00:40:00,060 --> 00:40:02,460
- Cyrano.
See what we found in the street.
703
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:05,140
Plumes dropped in their flight
by those fine birds
704
00:40:05,170 --> 00:40:06,860
who showed their
tail feathers!
705
00:40:06,890 --> 00:40:08,590
(laughter)
706
00:40:08,620 --> 00:40:10,180
The man who hired
those scoundrels,
707
00:40:10,210 --> 00:40:12,010
he must be an
angry man today.
708
00:40:12,050 --> 00:40:13,430
Who was it?
Do you know?
709
00:40:13,850 --> 00:40:14,790
It was I.
710
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,870
I hired them to do the sort
of work we do not soil our hands with.
711
00:40:20,660 --> 00:40:22,940
Punishing an insolent poet.
712
00:40:22,970 --> 00:40:25,610
They ought to be mounted
before they spoil.
713
00:40:25,650 --> 00:40:27,850
(laughter)
What shall we do with them?
714
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:36,460
Sir, will you not return these
to your friends?
715
00:40:40,310 --> 00:40:42,190
Have you read Don Quixote?
716
00:40:42,230 --> 00:40:44,650
I have and found
myself the hero.
717
00:40:44,690 --> 00:40:47,770
Be so good as to read once more
the capture of the windmills.
718
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,010
Chapter 13.
719
00:40:50,150 --> 00:40:52,200
Windmills, remember,
if you fight with them...
720
00:40:52,230 --> 00:40:56,590
may swing round their huge arms
and cast you down into the mire.
721
00:40:56,630 --> 00:40:59,010
Or up among the stars.
722
00:41:01,250 --> 00:41:01,970
Gentlemen.
723
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:03,320
Gentlemen.
724
00:41:03,570 --> 00:41:04,550
Gentlemen.
725
00:41:05,220 --> 00:41:06,610
You've done it, now.
726
00:41:06,650 --> 00:41:07,860
You've made your fortune.
727
00:41:07,890 --> 00:41:09,070
He was willing to forget.
728
00:41:09,490 --> 00:41:11,180
There you go again, growling.
729
00:41:11,210 --> 00:41:13,460
Yesss,
this latest pose of yours,
730
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:16,070
ruining every opportunity
that comes you way,
731
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:17,100
becomes exaggerated.
732
00:41:17,140 --> 00:41:18,250
Very well, then, I exaggerate.
733
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:19,710
There are certain things
in this world
734
00:41:19,740 --> 00:41:21,100
a man does well
to carry to extremes.
735
00:41:21,140 --> 00:41:23,710
Your precious independence.
Your white plume.
736
00:41:23,740 --> 00:41:25,410
How do you expect
to succeed in life?
737
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,400
What would you have me do?
738
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,590
Seek for the patronage
of some great man
739
00:41:28,630 --> 00:41:31,880
and like a creeping vine
on a tall tree crawl upward
740
00:41:31,910 --> 00:41:33,520
where I cannot stand alone?
741
00:41:33,940 --> 00:41:34,850
No, thank you.
742
00:41:35,210 --> 00:41:39,880
Be a buffoon in the vile hope
of teasing out a smile on some cold face.
743
00:41:40,340 --> 00:41:41,710
No, thank you.
744
00:41:42,050 --> 00:41:44,260
Eat a toad for breakfast
every morning.
745
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:47,530
Make my knees calloused.
Cultivate a supple spine.
746
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,320
Wear out my belly
groveling in the dust.
747
00:41:49,590 --> 00:41:50,400
No, thank you.
748
00:41:50,860 --> 00:41:54,880
With my left hand scratch the back
of any swine that roots up gold for me
749
00:41:54,910 --> 00:41:58,910
while my right, too proud to know
his partner's business, takes in the fee.
750
00:41:58,940 --> 00:41:59,920
No, thank you.
751
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,810
Shall I use the fire God gave me
to burn incense all day long?
752
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,020
No, thank you.
753
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,410
Struggle to insinuate my name
into the columns of the Gazette?
754
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:13,250
Calculate, scheme, be afraid?
Love more to make a visit than a poem?
755
00:42:13,290 --> 00:42:15,990
Seek introductions, favors,
influences?
756
00:42:16,020 --> 00:42:17,050
No, thank you.
757
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,270
No, I thank you, and
again I thank you.
758
00:42:23,930 --> 00:42:30,320
But, to sing, to laugh, to dream,
to walk in my own way,
759
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,510
free with and eye
to see things as they are.
760
00:42:33,380 --> 00:42:35,240
A voice that means manhood.
761
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,640
To cut my have
the right shoes.
762
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:46,150
And a word, a yes, a no,
to fight, or write,
763
00:42:46,830 --> 00:42:48,440
but never to make
a line I have not heard
764
00:42:48,470 --> 00:42:49,780
in my own heart.
765
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,380
To travel any
road under the sun,
766
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,780
under the stars,
767
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,520
nor care if fame or fortune
lie beyond the bourne.
768
00:43:00,370 --> 00:43:02,250
Yet, with all modesty to say,
769
00:43:03,250 --> 00:43:05,830
my soul be satisfied
with flowers,
770
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:08,000
with weeds,
771
00:43:09,210 --> 00:43:10,840
with thorns, even,
772
00:43:11,910 --> 00:43:14,940
but gather them in the one garden
you may call your own.
773
00:43:16,230 --> 00:43:18,450
In a word, I'm too proud
to be a parasite.
774
00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:21,470
And if mine intellect the germ
that grows towering to heaven
775
00:43:21,500 --> 00:43:22,770
like the mountain pine
776
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,570
I stand not high, it may be,
777
00:43:27,260 --> 00:43:28,460
but alone.
778
00:43:28,500 --> 00:43:31,170
Alone, yes, but why
go about making enemies?
779
00:43:32,100 --> 00:43:35,850
Watching other people
making friends...everywhere,
780
00:43:35,890 --> 00:43:37,980
as a dog makes friends.
781
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,550
I mark the manner of
these canine courtesies,
782
00:43:41,580 --> 00:43:46,770
and think, here comes,
thank heaven, another enemy.
783
00:43:46,810 --> 00:43:52,760
Yes, tell this to all the world,
and then to me say very softly
784
00:43:52,790 --> 00:43:55,540
that she loves you not.
785
00:43:58,830 --> 00:44:00,940
Let me be alone
for a moment.
786
00:44:03,990 --> 00:44:05,050
Cyrano, wait.
787
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,760
Give us your story
of the fight.
788
00:44:07,530 --> 00:44:08,400
Presently.
789
00:44:08,430 --> 00:44:10,010
No, the story, now!
790
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,970
Oh, let him alone.
There's time enough.
791
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,360
I want it now!
792
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,090
As an example for that young
tadpole sneaking out the doorway.
793
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,040
You, there.
794
00:44:25,310 --> 00:44:26,820
Are you addressing me?
795
00:44:28,190 --> 00:44:32,770
Yes, you flat-footed
Norman farmer.
796
00:44:36,190 --> 00:44:37,470
You wish something of me?
797
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:39,950
Listen, Monsieur de...de...de
whatever your name is.
798
00:44:39,980 --> 00:44:40,920
de Neuvillette!
799
00:44:41,090 --> 00:44:43,230
Baron Christan de Neuvillette.
800
00:44:43,270 --> 00:44:45,370
Very well, de Neuvillette.
801
00:44:45,670 --> 00:44:48,080
As you are a newcomer here,
you should know there is a
802
00:44:48,110 --> 00:44:52,300
certain subject or object, if you prefer,
that is never mentioned among us.
803
00:44:52,340 --> 00:44:53,340
And that is....?
804
00:44:53,370 --> 00:44:54,500
Look at me!
805
00:44:54,540 --> 00:44:55,980
(touching his nose)
806
00:44:56,020 --> 00:44:57,360
You understand?
807
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:58,670
You mean....?
808
00:44:58,700 --> 00:45:01,090
Thus we never speak that word.
809
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,390
To even breathe it is
to have to do with him.
810
00:45:04,420 --> 00:45:08,760
He has exterminated several
whose mere tone of voice suggested...
811
00:45:08,790 --> 00:45:12,920
Would you die before your time?
Just mention anything convex.
812
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,530
Or cartilaginous.
813
00:45:14,570 --> 00:45:18,540
One word. One syllable.
One gesture. Nay, one sneeze.
814
00:45:18,570 --> 00:45:21,330
And your handkerchief
becomes your winding sheet.
815
00:45:24,110 --> 00:45:24,920
Captain.
816
00:45:25,430 --> 00:45:26,290
Sir?
817
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:30,090
What is the proper thing to do
when Gascons grow too boastful?
818
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,820
Prove to them that one may
be a Norman and still have courage.
819
00:45:33,850 --> 00:45:35,100
I thank you.
820
00:45:41,330 --> 00:45:43,360
Come on, Cyrano, your story.
821
00:45:44,420 --> 00:45:47,330
(shouts of encouragement)
822
00:45:47,740 --> 00:45:49,540
Now, let me see.
Where shall we begin?
823
00:45:50,450 --> 00:45:52,510
I followed with our host
to meet those scoundrels
824
00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:53,640
not knowing where
they might attack.
825
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,340
No lamps in those narrow
back streets.
826
00:45:57,500 --> 00:45:58,600
No moon in the sky.
827
00:45:59,340 --> 00:46:01,220
Dark. Everything dark.
828
00:46:01,430 --> 00:46:04,040
It was so dark, Mon Dieux,
you could not see beyond...
829
00:46:04,070 --> 00:46:05,470
Your nose!
830
00:46:05,850 --> 00:46:08,480
(Christian shows his courage.)
831
00:46:25,250 --> 00:46:33,250
Who...is that...man...there?
832
00:46:34,260 --> 00:46:35,380
- A new recruit.
833
00:46:36,070 --> 00:46:37,550
- Arrived last week.
834
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,080
A recruit, eh?
835
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:41,940
Ha, ha---.
836
00:46:41,970 --> 00:46:45,320
His name is Christian de Neuvillette.
837
00:46:45,350 --> 00:46:48,660
(Cyrano remembers his
promise to Roxane.)
838
00:46:58,510 --> 00:46:59,570
I see.
839
00:47:02,670 --> 00:47:03,510
Very well.
840
00:47:04,850 --> 00:47:06,470
As I was saying.
841
00:47:10,830 --> 00:47:11,930
It grew dark.
842
00:47:12,460 --> 00:47:15,180
You could not see
your hand before your eyes.
843
00:47:16,310 --> 00:47:19,470
I marched on thinking our all for
the sake of one amateur poet
844
00:47:19,510 --> 00:47:22,660
- who wrote a verse whenever he took a..
- A nose full.
845
00:47:24,370 --> 00:47:25,770
...whenever he took a notion.,
846
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,600
and might antagonize
some dangerous man.
847
00:47:28,630 --> 00:47:30,830
One powerful enough
to make me pay...
848
00:47:30,860 --> 00:47:31,980
Through the nose!
849
00:47:32,010 --> 00:47:33,090
...pay the piper!
850
00:47:33,410 --> 00:47:35,430
After all, I thought,
why am I putting in my..
851
00:47:35,470 --> 00:47:36,310
- Nose!
852
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:39,170
...putting in my oar in a quarrel
that was none of mine,
853
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,240
however now that I am here,
I may as well go through with it.
854
00:47:41,270 --> 00:47:42,840
Come Gascon, do your duty.
855
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,850
Suddenly a sword
flashed in the dark!
856
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:45,810
I caught it fair...
857
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:46,810
On the nose!
858
00:47:47,940 --> 00:47:49,130
...on my blade!
859
00:47:49,170 --> 00:47:50,530
Before I knew it,
there I was...
860
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:51,690
Rubbing noses!
861
00:47:51,730 --> 00:47:53,840
...crossing swords with
harvard's joy once.
862
00:47:53,870 --> 00:47:54,940
I had the bottom then...
863
00:47:54,980 --> 00:47:55,900
A nosegay!
864
00:47:55,940 --> 00:47:57,160
...a monstrous crab tree.
865
00:47:57,610 --> 00:48:00,170
(breathing heavily)
He went down for as a wave.
866
00:48:00,380 --> 00:48:00,990
I charged...
867
00:48:01,030 --> 00:48:02,590
Who was in the air hard.
868
00:48:02,620 --> 00:48:03,450
...at the two of them.
869
00:48:04,750 --> 00:48:05,900
Another lunged,
and I parried...
870
00:48:05,940 --> 00:48:07,220
Through your nose!
871
00:48:07,250 --> 00:48:09,310
Right out of here!
All of you go!
872
00:48:09,340 --> 00:48:10,120
Leave me with him.
873
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,660
To my arms, sir.
You have courage.
874
00:48:28,690 --> 00:48:29,880
- That pleases me.
- Why?
875
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,820
Come, do you not know
I am her brother?
876
00:48:31,850 --> 00:48:32,460
Whose?
877
00:48:32,500 --> 00:48:34,250
Hers. Roxane.
878
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:38,390
Brother?
879
00:48:39,260 --> 00:48:40,170
You?
880
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,150
Well, a distant cousin.
Much the same.
881
00:48:42,510 --> 00:48:44,450
- Then she has told you?
- Everything.
882
00:48:44,580 --> 00:48:46,680
- She loves me?
- Perhaps.
883
00:48:47,610 --> 00:48:49,950
My dear sir, more than I can say.
I am honored.
884
00:48:49,990 --> 00:48:52,040
- Rather sudden.
- Oh, please, forgive me.
885
00:48:52,260 --> 00:48:54,270
If you knew how
much I have admired you.
886
00:48:54,310 --> 00:48:57,620
- Yes, yes, and all those noses.
- Please. I apologize.
887
00:48:59,060 --> 00:49:00,680
Roxane expects a letter.
888
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:02,300
- From me?
- Yes, why not?
889
00:49:02,340 --> 00:49:03,180
Oh,, No.
890
00:49:03,530 --> 00:49:05,880
- Once I write, that ruins everything.
- Why?
891
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,020
Because, any schoolboy can write
to her more gracefully than I.
892
00:49:09,590 --> 00:49:10,730
A fool!
893
00:49:10,900 --> 00:49:14,560
- You did not attack me like a fool.
- Anyone can pick a quarrel.
894
00:49:14,740 --> 00:49:16,580
No, I'm never at loss
for words among men,
895
00:49:16,610 --> 00:49:21,260
but with any women...
paralyzed...speechless, dumb.
896
00:49:21,460 --> 00:49:23,600
I'm one of those
stammering idiots
897
00:49:23,630 --> 00:49:25,270
who can not court a woman.
898
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:26,170
Really?
899
00:49:26,810 --> 00:49:28,700
As for myself,
it seems to me that
900
00:49:28,730 --> 00:49:32,300
given the opportunity,
and if I put my mind to it,
901
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,390
I could do that..
rather well.
902
00:49:35,420 --> 00:49:37,870
Oh, is I had words to say
what I have here!
903
00:49:37,900 --> 00:49:39,450
If I were handsome
like you.
904
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,780
Together, we could make
one mighty hero of romance.
905
00:49:43,820 --> 00:49:45,330
If only I had your wit.
906
00:49:50,570 --> 00:49:51,710
Borrow it, then.
907
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:53,150
What?
908
00:49:54,670 --> 00:49:55,490
Tell me,
909
00:49:56,910 --> 00:49:59,770
would you dare repeat to her
the words I gave you day by day?
910
00:50:00,330 --> 00:50:02,420
Send to her
the letters that I write?
911
00:50:02,460 --> 00:50:04,800
I mean, that Roxane
should have no disillusionment.
912
00:50:05,180 --> 00:50:06,820
Come, shall we win her
both together?
913
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:07,800
For you?
914
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,970
- Why, Cyrano...
- Christian, why not?
915
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,850
I...I'm afraid.
916
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,030
Afraid that when you
have her all alone, you will lose her.
917
00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:16,420
Have not fear,
it is your self she loves.
918
00:50:16,450 --> 00:50:17,920
Give her yourself.
919
00:50:17,950 --> 00:50:23,670
Put into words,
my words...upon your lips.
920
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:25,180
Will you?
921
00:50:26,780 --> 00:50:28,030
Will you?
922
00:50:28,910 --> 00:50:30,740
Does it mean
so much to you?
923
00:50:30,770 --> 00:50:32,360
It means....
924
00:50:34,110 --> 00:50:37,060
It means a comedy,
a situation for a poet.
925
00:50:37,190 --> 00:50:38,350
Come, shall we collaborate?
926
00:50:38,390 --> 00:50:42,420
I'll be your cloak of darkness,
your enchanted sword,
927
00:50:42,460 --> 00:50:45,330
your ring to charm
the fairy princess.
928
00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:49,180
Think!
Is the prize not worth the danger?
929
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:52,980
My friend!
930
00:50:54,620 --> 00:50:55,740
My friend.
931
00:50:56,890 --> 00:51:00,100
Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
932
00:51:00,350 --> 00:51:03,650
Plucking the flowers,
we will keep the plant in bloom.
933
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,010
Thus do I love thee,
my darling.
934
00:51:08,890 --> 00:51:09,670
Idiot.
935
00:51:09,910 --> 00:51:12,200
There are a dozen
ways to read that line.
936
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:14,500
Can't you give it some meaning?
Any meaning!
937
00:51:14,530 --> 00:51:15,950
THUS do I love thee!
938
00:51:15,980 --> 00:51:17,280
Thus do "I" love thee.
939
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:18,550
Thus do I LOVE thee.
940
00:51:18,580 --> 00:51:20,930
Thus do I love THEE,
THEE, THEE.
941
00:51:22,580 --> 00:51:25,680
Who knows your smile
has known a perfect thing.
942
00:51:25,710 --> 00:51:28,400
You are a white rose,
wherein love lies in ambush
943
00:51:28,430 --> 00:51:30,180
for its natural prey.
944
00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:33,760
In the garden of my heart,
you are the most...
945
00:51:33,930 --> 00:51:35,680
eh, the most....
946
00:51:37,450 --> 00:51:39,750
fragrant blossom.
947
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,780
As the tender sapling
thirsts for rain,
948
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,900
as the eagle seeks the sky,
949
00:51:48,030 --> 00:51:51,050
as the wave
hurtles toward the shore,
950
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,990
my heart yearns for you.
951
00:51:54,460 --> 00:51:55,820
Good, good.
952
00:51:55,970 --> 00:51:58,740
You know, you're beginning
to have a feel for words.
953
00:51:58,770 --> 00:52:02,010
- Words. I'm sick of words.
- Those are your weapons.
954
00:52:02,050 --> 00:52:03,190
How else do you conquer?
955
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,130
Yes, but when, when?
956
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,190
They're fighting in the north, now.
You know that.
957
00:52:06,230 --> 00:52:07,690
The Regiment will be
called up any day,
958
00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:08,840
and I've never
even kissed her.
959
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,940
Patience, my boy, patience.
960
00:52:11,980 --> 00:52:13,110
I've been patient.
961
00:52:13,140 --> 00:52:16,280
Why, she sees the Compte de Guiche
as often as she does me.
962
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,120
Do you suppose
she's playing with me?
963
00:52:21,260 --> 00:52:22,500
Making a fool of me?
964
00:52:23,850 --> 00:52:24,880
Impossible.
965
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,210
How can you say?
How do you know?
966
00:52:27,210 --> 00:52:31,390
Cyrano, you have her confidence.
You could find out.
967
00:52:39,300 --> 00:52:40,690
Nonsense, I say.
968
00:52:42,260 --> 00:52:43,440
Oh, very well.
969
00:52:43,870 --> 00:52:45,190
I'll scout the terrain.
970
00:52:45,230 --> 00:52:47,200
Listen, Cyrano,
intelligently, discreetly.
971
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:48,160
Yes.
972
00:52:48,190 --> 00:52:49,340
With finesse.
973
00:52:52,010 --> 00:52:55,510
And, uh, what do you think
of Christian after all these weeks?
974
00:52:55,620 --> 00:52:58,030
He is beautiful,
but he's brilliant.
975
00:52:58,070 --> 00:52:59,760
- And I love him.
- Good!
976
00:52:59,870 --> 00:53:01,750
Uh, do you find him intellectual?
977
00:53:01,790 --> 00:53:03,600
- More so than you, even.
- Huh?
978
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,470
- Oh, I didn't mean.
- No, no, no, I am glad.
979
00:53:06,500 --> 00:53:09,290
No man ever so beautifully
said those things.
980
00:53:09,330 --> 00:53:11,900
Those pretty nothings
to everything.
981
00:53:12,310 --> 00:53:15,780
Sometimes, he,. he, he falls
into a reverie.
982
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,110
His inspiration..fails.
983
00:53:20,050 --> 00:53:23,940
But, then all at once,
he will say something absolutely...
984
00:53:23,980 --> 00:53:25,370
Ah!
985
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:26,760
Really?
986
00:53:27,470 --> 00:53:28,910
How like a man!
987
00:53:28,940 --> 00:53:32,220
You think because a man
has a handsome face he must be a fool.
988
00:53:33,330 --> 00:53:34,790
Not necessarily.
989
00:53:34,830 --> 00:53:38,410
Uh, he talks well about, uh,
matters of the heart?
990
00:53:38,450 --> 00:53:42,420
He does not talk.
He rhapsodizes. He dreams.
991
00:53:42,460 --> 00:53:46,360
Only the other night he said to me,
extemporaneously, mind you.
992
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:47,220
Oh, of course.
993
00:53:47,980 --> 00:53:50,660
'Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
994
00:53:50,700 --> 00:53:54,760
'Plucking the flowers
we will keep the plants in bloom.'
995
00:53:55,720 --> 00:53:56,730
Well?
996
00:53:56,770 --> 00:53:58,530
Umm, passable.
997
00:53:58,950 --> 00:54:00,010
He writes well?
998
00:54:00,050 --> 00:54:02,080
Wonderfully, listen:
999
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,510
'Knowing you have in store
more heart to give
1000
00:54:05,550 --> 00:54:08,160
- 'than I to find heart room...'
- The first he has too much heart,
1001
00:54:08,190 --> 00:54:10,400
then too little. Just how much heart
does he need?
1002
00:54:10,470 --> 00:54:11,740
You are teasing.
1003
00:54:11,870 --> 00:54:12,870
You are jealous!
1004
00:54:12,910 --> 00:54:13,690
Jealous?
1005
00:54:13,730 --> 00:54:14,440
Yes.
1006
00:54:14,470 --> 00:54:15,840
Poets are all alike.
1007
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:19,660
Would you dare
criticize these lines?
1008
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:25,100
'Only believe that unto you
my whole heart gives one cry.
1009
00:54:25,540 --> 00:54:29,470
'And writing, writes down
more than you receive.
1010
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,010
'Sending you kisses
through my fingertips.
1011
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,020
'Lady, oh, read my letter
with your lips.'
1012
00:54:39,340 --> 00:54:43,820
Yes, those last lines,
but he overwrites.
1013
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:44,970
Listen to this.
1014
00:54:45,010 --> 00:54:46,000
Do you know
them all by heart?
1015
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,070
Every one.
1016
00:54:47,110 --> 00:54:48,500
Well, I may call
that flattering.
1017
00:54:48,530 --> 00:54:49,310
He is a master.
1018
00:54:49,350 --> 00:54:51,850
- Oh, come..
- Yes, a master.
1019
00:54:51,860 --> 00:54:55,270
Huh, a master,...
if you will.
1020
00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:00,520
And, uh, when do you
bestow the laurel wreath?
1021
00:55:00,540 --> 00:55:05,290
How many prodigies of poetry
must this new Hercules perform?
1022
00:55:05,390 --> 00:55:06,490
I do not know.
1023
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:11,580
My friend, you men own the world
and all that's in it.
1024
00:55:12,020 --> 00:55:17,990
Woman is at best a prize, a property
valued much the same as a horse or a dog,
1025
00:55:18,150 --> 00:55:22,010
unlike the pear and sheen of skin
and soundness of teeth and limb.
1026
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:27,870
Well, if I must be chattel,
then the terms shall be mine,
1027
00:55:27,910 --> 00:55:31,480
and the price according
to my own values.
1028
00:55:31,510 --> 00:55:32,670
There.
1029
00:55:34,070 --> 00:55:35,460
I see.
1030
00:55:37,060 --> 00:55:39,880
Christian tells me
that you meet tonight.
1031
00:55:42,510 --> 00:55:45,210
What would you have him
speak about?
1032
00:55:46,230 --> 00:55:47,910
Oh, nothing,
1033
00:55:48,260 --> 00:55:49,530
and everything.
1034
00:55:49,980 --> 00:55:54,140
I shall say, speak to me
of love in your own words.
1035
00:55:54,550 --> 00:55:56,810
Improvise, rhapsodize.
1036
00:55:57,540 --> 00:55:58,790
Be eloquent.
1037
00:55:59,910 --> 00:56:01,540
But you will not tell him,
will you?
1038
00:56:01,570 --> 00:56:03,270
Ah, perish the thought.
1039
00:56:03,590 --> 00:56:06,370
Madame, Compte de Guiche.
1040
00:56:10,720 --> 00:56:12,820
(Sigh)
Madame.
1041
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:16,880
Monsieur.
1042
00:56:17,770 --> 00:56:18,770
Madame.
1043
00:56:21,570 --> 00:56:24,270
Monsieur.
(Crunch)
1044
00:56:33,430 --> 00:56:35,090
- Christian, quick.
- No.
1045
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,030
There's still time to learn your lines.
No.
1046
00:56:37,070 --> 00:56:39,760
I have some brilliant phrases for you,
brilliant, sensitive...
1047
00:56:39,790 --> 00:56:40,500
No.
1048
00:56:41,150 --> 00:56:42,160
I'll have not more of it.
1049
00:56:42,190 --> 00:56:44,250
Taking all my words, my sentences
all from you,
1050
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,490
- making our love a little comedy.
- Don't you real...
1051
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,480
It was a game at first,
but now she cares.
1052
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:49,390
Huh?
1053
00:56:49,430 --> 00:56:50,750
Thanks to you.
Uh.
1054
00:56:50,790 --> 00:56:53,060
I'm not afraid any longer.
I'll speak for myself, now.
1055
00:56:53,090 --> 00:56:53,720
Oh, undoubtedly.
1056
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,990
I will. You shall see!
1057
00:56:56,500 --> 00:56:59,110
Besides, I know enough
to take a woman in my arms,
1058
00:56:59,150 --> 00:57:00,870
and tonight, I will.
1059
00:57:04,070 --> 00:57:05,420
(knocking on door)
- Christian!
1060
00:57:05,450 --> 00:57:07,210
Thank you, my friend,
and goodbye.
1061
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:09,040
- Christian, I beg of you.
- Leave me!
1062
00:57:09,070 --> 00:57:10,830
- You're making a grave error.
- Go away!
1063
00:57:13,540 --> 00:57:14,540
So be it.
1064
00:57:16,950 --> 00:57:18,600
(door opens)
1065
00:57:20,300 --> 00:57:21,440
Christian.
1066
00:57:21,470 --> 00:57:22,580
Roxane.
1067
00:57:23,190 --> 00:57:25,330
I'm so glad you are early.
1068
00:57:26,430 --> 00:57:28,400
Let us stay out here
in the moonlight.
1069
00:57:29,150 --> 00:57:30,490
It's so pleasant.
1070
00:57:32,780 --> 00:57:33,630
Sit down.
1071
00:57:36,450 --> 00:57:37,720
There, so.
1072
00:57:40,770 --> 00:57:43,780
Now, speak to me.
1073
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:45,470
I love you.
1074
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,330
Yes, speak to me of love.
1075
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,390
I...love you.
1076
00:57:53,430 --> 00:57:55,640
Now, be eloquent.
Be brilliant for me.
1077
00:57:56,300 --> 00:57:57,940
Tonight of all nights.
1078
00:57:58,250 --> 00:58:01,560
I love you....so.
1079
00:58:03,610 --> 00:58:07,630
You have your scene.
Now, improvise, rhapsodize.
1080
00:58:07,660 --> 00:58:11,570
I love you...
very much!
1081
00:58:14,500 --> 00:58:17,600
I ask for cream,
and you give me milk and water.
1082
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:22,490
Tell me firstly,
how you love me.
1083
00:58:22,530 --> 00:58:23,780
Very much!
1084
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:26,440
Is that all you feel?
1085
00:58:26,470 --> 00:58:29,360
Your throat, if only
I might kiss it.
1086
00:58:29,390 --> 00:58:30,170
Christian!
1087
00:58:30,210 --> 00:58:31,520
But, Roxane, I love you.
1088
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:32,860
Again.
1089
00:58:32,890 --> 00:58:34,450
No, not again.
I do not love you.
1090
00:58:37,490 --> 00:58:38,540
That is better.
1091
00:58:39,380 --> 00:58:42,870
I...I adore you!
1092
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:43,870
Oh!
1093
00:58:44,570 --> 00:58:46,070
I know I grow absurd.
1094
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:48,870
And that distresses me as much
as if you had grown ugly!
1095
00:58:51,020 --> 00:58:54,910
Please. Gather your dreams
together into words.
1096
00:58:54,950 --> 00:58:57,830
I...um, I...
1097
00:58:57,870 --> 00:59:00,280
I know. You love me!
Good night!
1098
00:59:00,310 --> 00:59:01,440
Oh, but wait, please!
1099
00:59:01,470 --> 00:59:02,530
I was going to say...
1100
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:04,510
That you adore me.
Yes, I know that, too.
1101
00:59:04,540 --> 00:59:06,720
-No, go away.
- I....
1102
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,290
(door slams shut)
1103
00:59:25,170 --> 00:59:28,330
(Cyrano claps his hands)
1104
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:29,870
A great success.
1105
00:59:30,940 --> 00:59:31,720
Help me.
1106
00:59:31,750 --> 00:59:33,620
Not I.
Speak for yourself, my friend.
1107
00:59:33,660 --> 00:59:35,220
Why I...I can't.
1108
00:59:35,250 --> 00:59:38,040
Well, at least you know enough
to take a woman in your arms.
1109
00:59:38,070 --> 00:59:39,680
Oh, Cyrano, please!
1110
00:59:39,790 --> 00:59:41,610
What, and make your love
a little comedy.
1111
00:59:41,650 --> 00:59:44,060
Cyrano, I cannot live
unless I win her back, now.
1112
00:59:44,100 --> 00:59:44,610
This moment!
1113
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,890
This moment. How the devil
am I to teach you now, this mo...
1114
00:59:47,980 --> 00:59:48,940
(Christian)
Her window.
1115
00:59:49,510 --> 00:59:51,690
- Help me, Cyrano, help me.
- Shhhh.
1116
00:59:53,290 --> 00:59:54,800
(Cyrano)
It does seem fairly dark.
1117
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:55,780
(Christian)
Well? Well?
1118
00:59:57,490 --> 00:59:59,190
(Cyrano)
It is more than
you deserve.
1119
01:00:00,550 --> 01:00:02,010
(Cyrano)
I must try out what
can be done.
1120
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:03,040
(Cyrano)
Stand over there.
1121
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,500
(Cyrano)
Idiot, here, before the balcony.
I'll whisper you what to say.
1122
01:00:09,540 --> 01:00:11,380
- She'll hear..
- Shhhh. Call her.
1123
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:13,690
(Christian)
Roxane.
1124
01:00:14,950 --> 01:00:17,330
(Christian louder)
Roxane.
1125
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,220
(balcony window opens)
1126
01:00:21,690 --> 01:00:22,760
Who's calling?
1127
01:00:23,430 --> 01:00:24,240
Christian.
1128
01:00:24,570 --> 01:00:25,670
You again.
1129
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:27,420
I...had to tell you.
1130
01:00:27,710 --> 01:00:29,340
No. Go away.
You tell me nothing.
1131
01:00:29,370 --> 01:00:30,390
Please.
1132
01:00:30,430 --> 01:00:32,240
You do not
love me anymore.
1133
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:34,810
(Christian copies Cyrano)
No, not anymore.
1134
01:00:35,530 --> 01:00:37,340
I love you evermore,
1135
01:00:38,150 --> 01:00:40,050
and evermore and more.
1136
01:00:41,190 --> 01:00:42,640
Oh, a little better.
1137
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,160
Love grows and struggles
like an angry child.
1138
01:00:48,710 --> 01:00:50,620
Breaking my heart.
1139
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,070
His cradle...
1140
01:00:53,110 --> 01:00:54,630
Better still.
1141
01:00:55,230 --> 01:00:57,390
But such a babe is dangerous.
1142
01:00:57,910 --> 01:01:00,140
Why not have
smothered it newborn?
1143
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:03,290
And so I do.
1144
01:01:03,650 --> 01:01:05,290
And yet he lives.
1145
01:01:06,340 --> 01:01:08,910
I found as you sha...
you shall find
1146
01:01:10,250 --> 01:01:14,400
this newborn babe...
and infant Hercules!
1147
01:01:14,900 --> 01:01:15,430
Good.
1148
01:01:15,460 --> 01:01:16,820
Strong enough at birth
1149
01:01:17,740 --> 01:01:19,600
to strangle
those two serpents
1150
01:01:20,010 --> 01:01:20,550
doubt and
1151
01:01:20,590 --> 01:01:21,090
<i>What?</i>
1152
01:01:21,250 --> 01:01:22,600
pride!
1153
01:01:23,410 --> 01:01:24,440
Why, very good.
1154
01:01:25,330 --> 01:01:27,880
Only, tell me why
you speak so haltingly.
1155
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,580
Has your imagination
gone....lame?
1156
01:01:33,260 --> 01:01:35,130
(Cyrano)
This grows too difficult.
1157
01:01:35,530 --> 01:01:38,320
Your words tonight
hesitate, why?
1158
01:01:38,630 --> 01:01:42,970
Through the warm summer gloom,
they grope in darkness
1159
01:01:43,170 --> 01:01:44,690
toward the light of you.
1160
01:01:46,010 --> 01:01:47,860
My words are
heavy with honey,
1161
01:01:47,900 --> 01:01:49,360
like returning bees.
1162
01:01:50,190 --> 01:01:52,310
Yet they must fly so high.
1163
01:01:52,530 --> 01:01:54,140
Come nearer then.
Stand you on the bench.
1164
01:01:54,170 --> 01:01:55,000
No.
1165
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:56,190
Then I'll come down.
1166
01:01:56,230 --> 01:01:57,110
NO!
1167
01:01:57,570 --> 01:01:59,380
And why so great a no?
1168
01:02:00,490 --> 01:02:02,920
Let me enjoy the one
moment I ever...
1169
01:02:03,710 --> 01:02:07,110
My one chance
to speak to you...unseen.
1170
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:08,290
Unseen?
1171
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:09,740
Yes. Yes.
1172
01:02:10,070 --> 01:02:12,380
Night making all things
dimly beautiful
1173
01:02:12,410 --> 01:02:13,770
one veil over us both.
1174
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,040
You need no eyes
to hear my heart.
1175
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:20,410
Oh, tonight, let it seem as if
I speak for the first time.
1176
01:02:21,150 --> 01:02:22,110
For the first time?
1177
01:02:22,140 --> 01:02:23,000
Yes.
1178
01:02:23,940 --> 01:02:25,780
Your voice, even,
is not the same.
1179
01:02:25,810 --> 01:02:26,990
How should it be.
1180
01:02:27,030 --> 01:02:28,450
I have another
voice tonight.
1181
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:31,250
My own, myself,... daring!
1182
01:02:31,610 --> 01:02:32,610
Why daring?
1183
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,600
Because, what am I, what is any man
would he dare ask for you?
1184
01:02:36,630 --> 01:02:40,780
Therefore my heart has hidden behind
poetic words and tinsel phrases.
1185
01:02:41,260 --> 01:02:43,640
But are they not sweet,
those pretty phrases?
1186
01:02:43,670 --> 01:02:45,630
Not enough sweet
for you and me tonight.
1187
01:02:47,530 --> 01:02:49,240
You never spoke
to me like this.
1188
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,510
I tell you, there comes
one moment, once,
1189
01:02:51,540 --> 01:02:53,800
and heaven help those
who pass that moment by,
1190
01:02:53,830 --> 01:02:56,110
when beauty stands
looking into the soul
1191
01:02:56,150 --> 01:03:01,810
with grave, sweet eyes,
that sicken at pretty words.
1192
01:03:02,650 --> 01:03:06,260
Yes...that is love.
1193
01:03:06,290 --> 01:03:07,010
Love.
1194
01:03:07,050 --> 01:03:09,260
A love beyond breath,
beyond reason,
1195
01:03:09,290 --> 01:03:11,590
beyond love's own
power of loving.
1196
01:03:11,630 --> 01:03:14,200
Your name is like a golden bell
hung in my heart,
1197
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:18,450
and when I think of you I tremble,
and the bell swings and rings,
1198
01:03:18,610 --> 01:03:28,580
Roxane! Roxane!
Along my veins...Roxane.
1199
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,970
Yes...that is love.
1200
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,770
(Cyrano)
Yes...that is love.
1201
01:03:36,090 --> 01:03:38,920
That wind of terrible
and jealous beauty,
1202
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:44,200
that dark fire,
that soaring, blinding music.
1203
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,690
Yet, you may take my happiness
to make you happier
1204
01:03:47,730 --> 01:03:49,410
even though you
never know I gave it to you.
1205
01:03:49,940 --> 01:03:55,700
Only let me hear, sometimes, all alone,
the distant laughter of your joy.
1206
01:03:56,740 --> 01:03:58,470
Do you begin
to understand a little?
1207
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,200
Can you feel my soul there
in the darkness breathe on you?
1208
01:04:03,230 --> 01:04:06,630
Oh, only tonight,
now I dare say these things.
1209
01:04:06,790 --> 01:04:09,400
I to you, and you hear them.
1210
01:04:10,030 --> 01:04:12,650
It is my voice, mine, my own
that makes you tremble
1211
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,390
there in the green gloom,
above me, for you do tremble
1212
01:04:15,430 --> 01:04:18,110
as a blossom among the leaves,
you tremble, and I can feel
1213
01:04:18,140 --> 01:04:19,670
all the way down along
this jasmine branch
1214
01:04:19,710 --> 01:04:23,700
whether you will unhold
the passion of you trembling.
1215
01:04:24,340 --> 01:04:25,960
Yes, I do tremble.
1216
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,880
And I weep, and I love you,
and I am yours,
1217
01:04:29,910 --> 01:04:31,720
and you have made me thus.
1218
01:04:36,710 --> 01:04:38,250
I have done this to you.
1219
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,380
I myself.
1220
01:04:44,970 --> 01:04:47,240
Only let me ask
one thing more.
1221
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:48,900
I want a kiss!
1222
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:52,080
You ask me for...
1223
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:53,060
I...yes.
1224
01:04:53,100 --> 01:04:54,260
That is to say...
1225
01:04:54,780 --> 01:04:55,770
I mean...
1226
01:04:56,140 --> 01:04:57,450
You've gone too far.
1227
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,370
If she's willing, why
not make the most of it?
1228
01:04:59,410 --> 01:05:04,270
I, I ask.
I know I ask too much.
1229
01:05:05,150 --> 01:05:06,420
Only one?
1230
01:05:07,550 --> 01:05:08,630
Is that all?
1231
01:05:09,150 --> 01:05:12,210
All?
How much more than all?
1232
01:05:12,250 --> 01:05:16,030
I know I startle you,
I...I ask, I ask you to refuse.
1233
01:05:16,070 --> 01:05:17,200
Why? Why? Why?
1234
01:05:17,230 --> 01:05:18,350
Christian, be quiet.
1235
01:05:18,390 --> 01:05:19,430
What is that your say?
1236
01:05:19,470 --> 01:05:21,810
I am angry with myself,
because I know I go too far
1237
01:05:21,850 --> 01:05:26,270
and so I say to myself,
CHRISTIAN, BE QUIET!
1238
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:28,300
Watch it, someone comes.
1239
01:05:36,390 --> 01:05:39,180
Well, sir, I am looking
for the house of madame Roxane Robin.
1240
01:05:39,220 --> 01:05:43,450
This is not the house. That way.
To the right. Keep to the right.
1241
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:44,330
I thank you sir.
1242
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,880
I shall say my beads for you
to the very last bead.
1243
01:05:49,340 --> 01:05:50,680
Win me that kiss?
1244
01:05:51,370 --> 01:05:52,070
No!
1245
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:53,780
Sooner or later.
1246
01:05:59,170 --> 01:06:00,510
So that is true.
1247
01:06:01,460 --> 01:06:07,540
Sooner or later must be so, because,
she is young, and you are handsome.
1248
01:06:09,170 --> 01:06:15,240
Since it must be, I'd rather be
myself the cause, if it must be.
1249
01:06:16,990 --> 01:06:19,620
(balcony window opens)
1250
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:24,660
Are you still there?
1251
01:06:24,690 --> 01:06:25,470
(Cyrano)
Yes.
1252
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:28,740
We were speaking of...
1253
01:06:30,090 --> 01:06:32,450
A kiss.
- A kiss.
1254
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,340
And what is a kiss
when all is done?
1255
01:06:34,930 --> 01:06:37,080
A vow taken before
the shrine of memory.
1256
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,650
A rosy dot
over the "i" of loving.
1257
01:06:39,790 --> 01:06:42,950
- A secret whisper
to listen if the past.
1258
01:06:42,980 --> 01:06:43,650
Shhh.
1259
01:06:43,690 --> 01:06:46,720
A moment free to mortal
with a rush of wing from Ceden.
1260
01:06:46,750 --> 01:06:48,220
A sacrament of blossoms.
1261
01:06:48,260 --> 01:06:53,250
A new song sung by two hearts
to an old, simple tune.
1262
01:06:53,290 --> 01:06:54,430
Hush.
1263
01:06:54,460 --> 01:06:56,050
Why? What shame?
1264
01:06:58,010 --> 01:07:01,310
No.
No shame.
1265
01:07:01,610 --> 01:07:02,770
Then come.
1266
01:07:03,550 --> 01:07:05,680
Gather your sacred blossoms.
1267
01:07:07,250 --> 01:07:09,230
Your moment made immortal.
1268
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:09,860
Climb!
1269
01:07:10,660 --> 01:07:12,300
- But, climb?
- Many more!
1270
01:07:22,410 --> 01:07:23,760
Roxane.
1271
01:07:33,870 --> 01:07:34,690
(sigh)
1272
01:07:36,090 --> 01:07:39,770
Ah, Roxane.
I have won what I have wanted.
1273
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:45,410
A feast of love,
and I am faint with hunger.
1274
01:07:48,110 --> 01:07:51,040
Yet, I have something here
that is mine now,...
1275
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,380
and was not mine before.
1276
01:07:54,220 --> 01:07:56,790
I spoke the words
that won her.
1277
01:07:57,890 --> 01:08:05,890
She kisses my words.
My words...upon his lips.
1278
01:08:07,230 --> 01:08:08,650
(gate opens)
1279
01:08:13,250 --> 01:08:14,670
What, dear Father,
lost your way again?
1280
01:08:14,710 --> 01:08:16,270
But, she lives here,
Madame Robin.
1281
01:08:16,300 --> 01:08:17,830
Oh, I thought
you said, Rolen?
1282
01:08:17,860 --> 01:08:19,850
No, r..o..b..i..n, Robin.
1283
01:08:19,890 --> 01:08:21,030
Oh, Robin, I see.
1284
01:08:21,070 --> 01:08:23,090
I'm too old
to chase wild geese
1285
01:08:23,130 --> 01:08:25,080
- my feet...
- Oh, what a shame,
1286
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,920
(knocking on door)
however, I'm sure there's someone at home.
1287
01:08:29,330 --> 01:08:30,120
(door opens)
1288
01:08:30,150 --> 01:08:30,860
What is it?
1289
01:08:30,890 --> 01:08:34,570
Yeah, I'm looking for
the young lady, Madam Rolen
1290
01:08:34,610 --> 01:08:35,840
Rolen?
1291
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:37,080
Robin!
1292
01:08:37,950 --> 01:08:40,050
Madame!
A letter for you.
1293
01:08:40,590 --> 01:08:42,070
Yes, yes, I heard.
1294
01:08:42,970 --> 01:08:43,650
Cyrano.
1295
01:08:43,690 --> 01:08:46,080
Uh, passing by cousin,
I saw this light.
1296
01:08:46,700 --> 01:08:50,330
Uh, some matter
profitable to the soul.
1297
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:52,550
A very noble lord gave it to me.
1298
01:08:52,750 --> 01:08:53,640
(Christian)
What is it?
1299
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,100
<i>My regiment has been
ordered to the front. </i>
1300
01:08:57,130 --> 01:08:59,490
<i>I cannot allow you
to delay any longer.</i>
1301
01:08:59,530 --> 01:09:01,820
<i>This simple old monk,
who knows nothing,</i>
1302
01:09:01,850 --> 01:09:04,190
<i>will marry us tonight.
My love, Antoine de Guiche.</i>
1303
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,110
(Roxane changes everything)
1304
01:09:07,150 --> 01:09:08,880
Father, this letter
concerns you.
1305
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,930
"Madame, the Cardinal
will have his way,
1306
01:09:13,970 --> 01:09:15,530
"although against your will.
1307
01:09:15,710 --> 01:09:18,150
"That is why I am
sending this to you,
1308
01:09:18,180 --> 01:09:20,470
"by a most holy man.
1309
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,160
"Intelligent, discreet.
1310
01:09:23,580 --> 01:09:26,660
"You will communicate
to him our order to perform
1311
01:09:26,900 --> 01:09:31,160
"here and at once
the rite of holy matrimony.
1312
01:09:32,570 --> 01:09:35,910
"You and Christian will be
married privately in your house.
1313
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,760
"Be resigned to the
Cardinal's command,
1314
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:41,930
"who sends herewith
his blessings.
1315
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,060
"Your very humble,
and etcetera..."
1316
01:09:44,940 --> 01:09:46,750
Oh, this is terrible.
1317
01:09:48,220 --> 01:09:49,850
Oh, you're to be
the, uh...
1318
01:09:49,890 --> 01:09:51,490
I am to be the bridegroom.
1319
01:09:53,950 --> 01:09:56,230
Uh, look here.
A postscript.
1320
01:09:56,780 --> 01:10:02,320
"Give to the monastery,
in my name 120 pieces of gold."
1321
01:10:02,350 --> 01:10:04,070
One hundred and twenty...
1322
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,530
Oh, a worthy lord.
A very worthy lord.
1323
01:10:09,470 --> 01:10:12,030
Daughter, resign yourself.
1324
01:10:12,070 --> 01:10:14,080
I am resigned.
1325
01:10:22,350 --> 01:10:24,500
The Guiche is coming, too.
Don't let him enter.
1326
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:25,730
Not let him enter?
1327
01:10:25,770 --> 01:10:27,790
Until we're married, please.
1328
01:10:28,610 --> 01:10:30,340
(door slams shut)
1329
01:10:44,330 --> 01:10:45,250
(Count)
What is that?
1330
01:10:45,340 --> 01:10:46,330
(Cyrano)
Me?
1331
01:10:46,370 --> 01:10:48,360
- Why, where did you come from?
- The moon.
1332
01:10:48,390 --> 01:10:49,330
- You...
- From the moon.
1333
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:50,690
I have just returned
from the moon.
1334
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:52,420
- The fellow's mad!
-Like a bomb, I tell you,
1335
01:10:52,460 --> 01:10:54,130
- I fell from the moon!
- Your feet must...
1336
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:55,450
- I say THE MOON!
1337
01:10:55,480 --> 01:10:57,580
- Very well, if you say so.
- Thank you.
1338
01:10:57,610 --> 01:10:58,610
- Raving mad.
1339
01:11:00,660 --> 01:11:02,850
- Where am I?
- My dear sir!
1340
01:11:02,890 --> 01:11:04,080
- What place is this?
What country?
1341
01:11:04,110 --> 01:11:06,170
- Please, let me pass.
- This face, good heavens!
1342
01:11:06,210 --> 01:11:08,710
Maul, a robber.
Where am I?
1343
01:11:08,750 --> 01:11:12,830
- A lady is waiting for me.
- Oh, this is Paris, huh?
1344
01:11:12,870 --> 01:11:13,620
You fool!
1345
01:11:13,650 --> 01:11:14,800
Dear old Paris.
1346
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,750
Excuse my appearance.
I arrived by the last thunderbolt.
1347
01:11:17,790 --> 01:11:19,970
A trifled singed
as I passed through the ether.
1348
01:11:20,470 --> 01:11:21,320
Monsieur!
1349
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:22,080
Sir?
1350
01:11:22,130 --> 01:11:23,750
That will do, now. I wish...
1351
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,600
I know, you wish to look for
my own list of nature for moons
1352
01:11:25,630 --> 01:11:27,820
and happiness and character
of it's surface, if any.
1353
01:11:27,850 --> 01:11:29,060
I desire no such thing, I...
1354
01:11:29,100 --> 01:11:30,060
Of course not.
1355
01:11:32,940 --> 01:11:34,330
You wish to know
by what mysterious
1356
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:35,570
means I reached the moon.
1357
01:11:35,610 --> 01:11:37,870
Well, a very secret affair of state,
1358
01:11:37,900 --> 01:11:41,770
but confidentially
a new invention of my own.
1359
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:43,190
Drunk, two ways.
Well a man..
1360
01:11:43,230 --> 01:11:46,050
Oh, no. In truth I have
my choice of several inventions.
1361
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:46,600
Uh?
1362
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:50,850
Yes, several ways
to violate the virgin sky.
1363
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:52,210
Several?
1364
01:11:52,250 --> 01:11:53,510
Several.
1365
01:11:53,540 --> 01:11:57,520
As, for instance, smoke
having a natural tendency to rise,
1366
01:11:57,550 --> 01:12:02,050
blow in a globe
enough to raise me.
1367
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:03,300
Yes, that makes one.
1368
01:12:03,330 --> 01:12:06,780
Again, I might construct a rocket
in the shape of a HUGE locust
1369
01:12:06,820 --> 01:12:10,810
driven by impulses up within
a saltpeter from the rear
1370
01:12:10,850 --> 01:12:14,050
and thus speed upwards,
like, thus!
1371
01:12:14,260 --> 01:12:15,260
Yes, another?
1372
01:12:15,290 --> 01:12:18,950
Finally, seated on an iron plate,
hurl a magnet into the air.
1373
01:12:18,980 --> 01:12:21,810
The iron follows.
I catch the magnet.
1374
01:12:21,850 --> 01:12:25,330
Throw it again, and
so proceed indefinitely.
1375
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,460
Excellent, and
which did you adopt?
1376
01:12:31,450 --> 01:12:32,370
Why none of them.
1377
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:34,350
Yet another.
1378
01:12:34,390 --> 01:12:35,740
Which was...?
1379
01:12:46,810 --> 01:12:47,500
Guess.
1380
01:12:47,860 --> 01:12:49,370
Ahhh, I can't!
1381
01:12:50,090 --> 01:12:51,100
Try.
1382
01:12:52,340 --> 01:12:53,980
Interesting idiot, this.
1383
01:13:05,350 --> 01:13:06,540
Have you guessed it yet?
1384
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:07,960
Why, no, what is it?
1385
01:13:13,780 --> 01:13:15,870
Alas, you will never know,
but no matter.
1386
01:13:15,910 --> 01:13:18,470
You are free and
they are bound in wedlock.
1387
01:13:18,510 --> 01:13:21,010
I drunk that voice,
and that nose, Cyrano!
1388
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:23,710
Cyrano. This very moment
they have exchanged vows.
1389
01:13:23,750 --> 01:13:24,460
Who?
1390
01:13:29,820 --> 01:13:31,530
My sincere compliments.
1391
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,900
You, also, my traveler in space.
1392
01:13:34,940 --> 01:13:37,800
My Lord, the heads of Capathieu
and Joyce have joined together.
1393
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:38,750
Quite so!
1394
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:44,160
Madame, kindly bid
your... husband farewell.
1395
01:13:44,190 --> 01:13:46,670
Your regiment leaves tonight, sir.
Report at once!
1396
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:49,320
But, the Cadets are not called.
1397
01:13:49,350 --> 01:13:51,850
They are, indeed, and
under my command.
1398
01:13:52,710 --> 01:13:55,080
Out there we may
have an accounting.
1399
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:58,130
Somehow, that news
fails to disquiet me.
1400
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,190
Here are the orders.
Baron, deliver this.
1401
01:14:02,500 --> 01:14:03,650
Christian!
1402
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,660
The bridal night
is not so near.
1403
01:14:10,090 --> 01:14:13,400
Somehow that news
fails to disquiet me.
1404
01:14:17,710 --> 01:14:19,340
Baron, you have your orders.
1405
01:14:36,270 --> 01:14:37,530
Farewell, Roxane.
1406
01:14:38,290 --> 01:14:40,490
Take care of him, for me.
Promise me never to let him
1407
01:14:40,530 --> 01:14:41,400
do anything dangerous.
1408
01:14:41,430 --> 01:14:42,890
I will do my best.
I cannot promise.
1409
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:44,970
I thought you brave always.
Make him be careful.
1410
01:14:45,010 --> 01:14:46,070
Yes, yes, I'll try.
1411
01:14:46,110 --> 01:14:47,840
Be sure to keep him
warm and dry!
1412
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:49,150
Yes, if possible.
1413
01:14:49,190 --> 01:14:51,820
Have him write to me
every single day!
1414
01:14:51,860 --> 01:14:54,090
That, I promise you.
1415
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,970
(the war with Spain)
1416
01:15:40,820 --> 01:15:41,540
Halt!
1417
01:16:03,370 --> 01:16:03,920
Uh!
1418
01:16:13,930 --> 01:16:18,590
(Madame Baroness de Neuvillette,
Rue Marais No. 12, Paris)
1419
01:16:46,610 --> 01:16:48,170
The situation
is simple, gentlemen.
1420
01:16:48,420 --> 01:16:53,340
We have besieged Arras.
The Prince of Spain has besieged us.
1421
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,960
Consequently, we
are surrounded.
1422
01:16:56,050 --> 01:16:58,920
- A fine war. Where
the besiegers are besieged
1423
01:16:58,950 --> 01:17:00,020
and starve to death.
1424
01:17:00,060 --> 01:17:01,990
Yes, but the Marshal has
devised a brilliant plan
1425
01:17:02,030 --> 01:17:03,480
for bringing in food
this very night.
1426
01:17:03,510 --> 01:17:04,460
Now, see here.
1427
01:17:04,500 --> 01:17:06,240
Spare us the details, Colonel.
1428
01:17:06,270 --> 01:17:08,820
Merely inform us
when the food arrives.
1429
01:17:08,860 --> 01:17:11,380
True, we are hungry.
But why blame me?
1430
01:17:11,700 --> 01:17:13,320
I'm only your Colonel.
1431
01:17:14,700 --> 01:17:16,910
Oh, yes, I know
you disprove of me.
1432
01:17:17,020 --> 01:17:18,940
Call me courtier, politician.
1433
01:17:19,430 --> 01:17:22,080
Well, I can afford you little hates.
1434
01:17:22,110 --> 01:17:24,730
My conduct under fire
is well known.
1435
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,170
It was only yesterday
I repelled a Spanish attack.
1436
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,070
Pouring my men down
like an avalanche.
1437
01:17:29,250 --> 01:17:30,710
I, myself lead the charge.
1438
01:17:30,900 --> 01:17:33,330
- And your white scarf?
(through a cannon barrel)
1439
01:17:33,370 --> 01:17:34,130
Cyrano!
1440
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:39,140
And your white scarf?
1441
01:17:39,150 --> 01:17:40,480
Eh, you heard that episode?
1442
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:44,110
Yes, I was so far in advance
I was in danger of being captured.
1443
01:17:44,180 --> 01:17:46,570
But I thought quickly,
took off and flung away
1444
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,290
the scarf that marked
my military rank.
1445
01:17:48,420 --> 01:17:51,150
And so being inconspicuous
escaped among my own force,
1446
01:17:51,410 --> 01:17:54,250
rallied them, returned,
and won the day.
1447
01:17:54,290 --> 01:17:55,500
What do you say to that?
1448
01:17:55,540 --> 01:17:58,550
Still, enough that is not likely
to resign the privilege of being a target.
1449
01:17:58,580 --> 01:18:01,690
How pleasant for you
that you are denied that privilege.
1450
01:18:01,730 --> 01:18:03,650
Pleasant?
Lend me your scarf.
1451
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:05,570
With your permission I shall
lead the first charge tonight
1452
01:18:05,610 --> 01:18:06,890
wearing it over my shoulder.
1453
01:18:06,930 --> 01:18:07,720
What bluster.
1454
01:18:07,750 --> 01:18:09,630
You're safe making that offer,
and you know it.
1455
01:18:09,670 --> 01:18:12,620
My scarf lies on the
river bank between the lines.
1456
01:18:12,650 --> 01:18:15,560
A spot swept by artillery.
Impossible to reach alive.
1457
01:18:15,700 --> 01:18:16,700
Yes.
1458
01:18:16,730 --> 01:18:20,500
(displays the Colonel's scarf)
1459
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:22,410
Here.
1460
01:18:22,580 --> 01:18:24,590
(laughter)
1461
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:26,500
Thank you.
1462
01:18:28,180 --> 01:18:31,000
This bit of white is
what I need to make a signal.
1463
01:18:31,820 --> 01:18:33,360
I was hesitating.
1464
01:18:33,940 --> 01:18:35,720
You have decided me.
1465
01:18:41,370 --> 01:18:43,010
- Stand or I'll fire!
- Hold you fire.
1466
01:18:43,050 --> 01:18:44,650
There's a man down
there running away.
1467
01:18:44,690 --> 01:18:46,700
Yes, a Spaniard.
1468
01:18:47,440 --> 01:18:50,310
But very useful as a spy
to both sides.
1469
01:18:51,270 --> 01:18:52,480
As I was about
to tell you.
1470
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,100
The Marshal has withdrawn
more than half our forces here.
1471
01:18:55,140 --> 01:18:57,190
Fortunately, the Spaniards
do not know that.
1472
01:18:57,230 --> 01:19:00,470
Oh, yes, they do now,
and they will attack tonight.
1473
01:19:00,510 --> 01:19:02,240
At this point.
1474
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:04,520
Your revenge, eh?
1475
01:19:04,550 --> 01:19:06,670
I make not great
pretense in loving you.
1476
01:19:06,770 --> 01:19:10,170
But since you gentlemen
esteem yourselves invincible,
1477
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,710
the bravest of the brave,
and all that.
1478
01:19:12,750 --> 01:19:14,120
Why need we be personal.
1479
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,710
The Marshal needs
a diversion, and I serve him
1480
01:19:16,740 --> 01:19:19,040
in choosing as I chose.
1481
01:19:19,210 --> 01:19:21,440
As you can see, Captain,
the great thing is to gain time.
1482
01:19:21,470 --> 01:19:23,070
To hold until the Marshal returns.
1483
01:19:23,180 --> 01:19:24,980
- And to gain time?
1484
01:19:25,490 --> 01:19:31,370
You will all be so kind
as to lay down your lives.
1485
01:19:39,610 --> 01:19:40,700
Christian?
1486
01:19:40,740 --> 01:19:41,400
Yes.
1487
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:46,130
Roxane?
1488
01:19:46,940 --> 01:19:49,260
I should like to say
farewell to her
1489
01:19:49,290 --> 01:19:51,580
with my whole
heart for her to keep.
1490
01:19:53,630 --> 01:19:55,610
I have taken the liberty of...
1491
01:19:58,580 --> 01:20:03,760
(the first letter
Christian is aware of)
1492
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:05,110
But, wait.
1493
01:20:07,270 --> 01:20:08,180
This little spot.
1494
01:20:08,620 --> 01:20:09,360
Spot?
1495
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:10,100
Yes.
1496
01:20:10,470 --> 01:20:11,550
A tear.
1497
01:20:13,500 --> 01:20:14,210
Is nothing.
1498
01:20:14,250 --> 01:20:16,860
A poet while he writes
is like a lover in his lady's arms,
1499
01:20:16,890 --> 01:20:19,060
believing his imagination,
everything seems real.
1500
01:20:19,090 --> 01:20:20,710
There's half the charm
of writing.
1501
01:20:21,230 --> 01:20:24,000
Now, I made this letter
so pathetic, that,
1502
01:20:24,030 --> 01:20:27,290
while I was writing it,
I wept.
1503
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:28,110
You wept?
1504
01:20:28,650 --> 01:20:31,590
Why, yes, because
it is a little thing to die,
1505
01:20:32,500 --> 01:20:36,710
but not to see her,...
that is terrible.
1506
01:20:37,700 --> 01:20:41,890
I shall never...,
you will never...
1507
01:20:42,480 --> 01:20:43,690
Give me that.
1508
01:20:45,190 --> 01:20:48,500
- Halt. Who goes there.
- On the service of the King.
1509
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:01,330
- The King!
- Fall in...
1510
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:11,620
Good evening.
1511
01:21:11,650 --> 01:21:13,540
On the King's service, you?
1512
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:25,850
- Gentlemen,...
- What are you doing here?
1513
01:21:25,890 --> 01:21:28,300
- We heard rumors at home
you were hungry,
1514
01:21:28,340 --> 01:21:29,810
- so we came prepared.
1515
01:21:29,850 --> 01:21:34,500
The Spaniards adored the fare,
but they missed the fowl!
1516
01:21:34,530 --> 01:21:37,560
(soldiers clamor for food)
1517
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:47,020
But why did you come here
into this, this danger?
1518
01:21:47,060 --> 01:21:49,420
They said in Paris
there was no fighting.
1519
01:21:50,450 --> 01:21:53,620
Besides, it was your own fault.
1520
01:22:01,410 --> 01:22:03,770
Think of the
letters you have written me.
1521
01:22:04,050 --> 01:22:06,510
How many times!
Every day!
1522
01:22:06,550 --> 01:22:07,680
Every day?
1523
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:08,820
Of course.
1524
01:22:08,980 --> 01:22:11,560
And each one
more wonderful than the last.
1525
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:14,820
All this, for a few absurd love letters.
1526
01:22:14,860 --> 01:22:18,050
Hush. Absurd?
Your letters...no, never.
1527
01:22:19,030 --> 01:22:22,730
Every one was like hearing your voice
that night in the dark. Remember?
1528
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:26,590
Like your arms around me.
I read them over and over.
1529
01:22:26,630 --> 01:22:30,420
Every page was like
a petal fallen from you soul.
1530
01:22:30,460 --> 01:22:33,350
Like the light
and the fire of a great love.
1531
01:22:33,390 --> 01:22:36,020
- Sweet and strong and true.
- Sweet.
1532
01:22:36,180 --> 01:22:37,280
Strong.
1533
01:22:37,590 --> 01:22:38,490
True?
1534
01:22:41,570 --> 01:22:43,090
Oh, my Christian.
1535
01:22:43,690 --> 01:22:46,420
I came here to ask forgiveness.
1536
01:22:47,660 --> 01:22:49,380
It is time to be forgiven.
1537
01:22:49,860 --> 01:22:51,950
Now, when we
may die so soon.
1538
01:22:53,780 --> 01:22:55,380
Forgive me for being
light and vain
1539
01:22:55,410 --> 01:22:57,570
and loving you only
because you were handsome.
1540
01:22:57,600 --> 01:22:59,230
- For now...
- Now?
1541
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:01,940
I love you for yourself.
1542
01:23:02,350 --> 01:23:04,090
For what you are.
1543
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:05,340
Roxane.
1544
01:23:05,910 --> 01:23:09,000
How you must have suffered.
For you saw how frivolous I was.
1545
01:23:09,030 --> 01:23:11,300
And to be loved
for the mere costume,
1546
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,090
for the poor, casual
body you went about in.
1547
01:23:14,750 --> 01:23:17,620
To a soul like yours,
that must have been torture.
1548
01:23:17,650 --> 01:23:18,390
No.
1549
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:23,140
I understand.
1550
01:23:23,790 --> 01:23:25,930
You cannot perfectly
believe in me,
1551
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:27,530
a...a love like this...
1552
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:29,090
I want no love like this.
1553
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,020
I want love only for...
1554
01:23:31,050 --> 01:23:33,090
Only for what every
woman sees in you.
1555
01:23:33,700 --> 01:23:35,030
I can to better than that.
1556
01:23:35,060 --> 01:23:37,240
No, it...it was best before.
1557
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,090
You do not
altogether know me.
1558
01:23:40,540 --> 01:23:42,260
I was a child.
1559
01:23:42,350 --> 01:23:43,650
I'm a woman now.
1560
01:23:44,250 --> 01:23:46,720
- If...if you were less handsome,
- No.
1561
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:50,130
unattractive, ugly even,
I should love you, still.
1562
01:23:50,770 --> 01:23:51,900
Do you mean that?
1563
01:23:52,510 --> 01:23:53,750
I do mean that.
1564
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:55,020
Ugly?
1565
01:23:55,100 --> 01:23:56,200
Even then.
1566
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:58,050
Now, are you happy?
1567
01:24:03,470 --> 01:24:04,650
Yes.
1568
01:24:04,690 --> 01:24:05,500
What is it?
1569
01:24:06,190 --> 01:24:08,690
Nothing, only, Cyrano...
1570
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:10,830
Cyrano.
1571
01:24:12,050 --> 01:24:14,090
he has something
to tell you.
1572
01:24:16,180 --> 01:24:17,200
Where are you going?
1573
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:20,690
I...will...return...in a moment.
1574
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:30,050
Cyrano.
1575
01:24:30,650 --> 01:24:32,480
Your wife, sir,
she goes with me?
1576
01:24:32,510 --> 01:24:33,340
No, sir, she remains.
1577
01:24:33,380 --> 01:24:34,670
There is still time
for her to escape.
1578
01:24:34,710 --> 01:24:35,640
She stays!
1579
01:24:36,030 --> 01:24:36,790
Very well.
1580
01:24:36,820 --> 01:24:38,950
Someone give me a musket.
I stay here also.
1581
01:24:39,420 --> 01:24:40,640
Sir, you show courage.
1582
01:24:40,670 --> 01:24:42,890
What, shall I run away,
and leave a woman?
1583
01:24:43,450 --> 01:24:45,320
Colonel, my compliments, sir.
1584
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:47,810
What of Roxane?
1585
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:48,470
Wait.
1586
01:24:49,350 --> 01:24:50,860
Well, what is it?
You look so...
1587
01:24:52,830 --> 01:24:54,580
She does not love me.
1588
01:24:54,990 --> 01:24:57,310
- You think not?
- She loves you.
1589
01:24:57,340 --> 01:24:59,630
- No.
- She loves only my soul.
1590
01:24:59,660 --> 01:25:00,370
- No.
- Yes!
1591
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:03,140
That means you.
And you love her.
1592
01:25:03,170 --> 01:25:05,300
- I?
- I see. I know.
1593
01:25:05,340 --> 01:25:08,310
You wrote her,
everyday, every day!
1594
01:25:08,820 --> 01:25:10,030
- Perfectly simple.
- Simple?
1595
01:25:10,060 --> 01:25:11,700
For a month,
we've been blockaded here.
1596
01:25:11,740 --> 01:25:13,340
How did you send
all those letters?
1597
01:25:13,370 --> 01:25:14,500
Before daylight
I managed...
1598
01:25:14,530 --> 01:25:16,070
To face death
everyday.
1599
01:25:16,820 --> 01:25:17,950
You love her.
1600
01:25:19,020 --> 01:25:20,190
Yes.
1601
01:25:26,950 --> 01:25:27,890
Tell her so.
1602
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:29,250
- No.
- Why not?
1603
01:25:29,350 --> 01:25:32,290
Why?
Look at me.
1604
01:25:32,590 --> 01:25:35,420
She would love me
if I were ugly.
1605
01:25:35,990 --> 01:25:38,820
- She said that?
- Yes. Now, go to her.
1606
01:25:40,090 --> 01:25:42,410
Nonsense. Do not
believe any such madness.
1607
01:25:42,440 --> 01:25:44,730
Go back to her.
You never will be ugly.
1608
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:45,810
Go!
It is you she loves.
1609
01:25:45,850 --> 01:25:46,870
That is what
we shall see.
1610
01:25:46,900 --> 01:25:47,840
No, no!
1611
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:49,480
- Let her chose between us.
- No.
1612
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:51,510
- Tell her everything.
- Why do you torture me?
1613
01:25:51,550 --> 01:25:54,700
Shall I ruin your happiness,
because I was born with a pretty face?
1614
01:25:54,740 --> 01:25:57,210
Am I to ruin yours,
because I happen to have power
1615
01:25:57,250 --> 01:25:58,750
to say what you perhaps feel?
1616
01:25:58,780 --> 01:26:00,910
- Tell her!
- Don't drive me too far!
1617
01:26:00,950 --> 01:26:03,210
- I'm tired of being my own rival.
- Hard to know.
1618
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:05,470
My secret marriage, that
can be annulled, I expect.
1619
01:26:05,500 --> 01:26:07,790
I want her love
for the poor fool than I am,
1620
01:26:07,860 --> 01:26:09,020
or not at all.
1621
01:26:09,390 --> 01:26:12,090
Oh, I'm going through with this.
I'll know one way or the other.
1622
01:26:12,870 --> 01:26:15,280
Now, go!....Tell her.
1623
01:26:15,480 --> 01:26:16,790
Let her chose one of us.
1624
01:26:17,570 --> 01:26:18,780
It will be you.
1625
01:26:19,670 --> 01:26:21,330
I hope so.
1626
01:26:33,070 --> 01:26:33,820
- Captain!
1627
01:26:36,570 --> 01:26:38,100
The Spanish fires are going out.
1628
01:26:41,030 --> 01:26:42,160
It begins.
1629
01:26:42,220 --> 01:26:44,140
I need a scout. Where's Cyrano.
1630
01:26:44,490 --> 01:26:45,280
Captain.
1631
01:26:45,850 --> 01:26:46,740
Let me go.
1632
01:26:46,780 --> 01:26:49,490
No, my boy, Cyrano knows
the terrain. He knows their lines.
1633
01:26:49,530 --> 01:26:51,550
So do I.
Please, allow me.
1634
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:56,070
Very well.
We must know from which
1635
01:26:56,110 --> 01:26:58,810
direction the advance comes.
Their weight and numbers.
1636
01:26:58,840 --> 01:26:59,560
I understand.
1637
01:27:11,940 --> 01:27:12,780
Roxane.
1638
01:27:13,430 --> 01:27:14,450
Cyrano.
1639
01:27:14,480 --> 01:27:15,930
Christian thinks...
1640
01:27:17,470 --> 01:27:19,190
Christian thinks you
ought to know that...
1641
01:27:19,220 --> 01:27:20,240
But I do know.
1642
01:27:20,770 --> 01:27:22,850
He still doubts what I
just told him, just now.
1643
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:23,860
I saw that.
1644
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:27,560
Yes, but,...was it true,
what you told him just now?
1645
01:27:27,590 --> 01:27:28,900
It was true.
1646
01:27:28,990 --> 01:27:32,270
I said that I should love him,
even if he were....
1647
01:27:33,020 --> 01:27:34,580
The word comes
hard before me?
1648
01:27:37,420 --> 01:27:38,860
Say it, I shall
not be hurt.
1649
01:27:39,370 --> 01:27:40,620
Ugly?
1650
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:42,130
Even, then
I should love him.
1651
01:27:43,500 --> 01:27:44,690
Disfigured.
1652
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:45,870
Or disfigured.
1653
01:27:46,480 --> 01:27:49,620
Even....grotesque.
1654
01:27:49,650 --> 01:27:51,350
How could he
every be grotesque,
1655
01:27:51,810 --> 01:27:52,950
ever to me?
1656
01:27:52,990 --> 01:27:55,580
But, you could love him so,
as much as?
1657
01:27:55,610 --> 01:27:56,790
Yes, and more.
1658
01:27:57,320 --> 01:27:58,320
Roxane...
1659
01:27:58,350 --> 01:27:59,300
(gunshot)
1660
01:27:59,340 --> 01:28:00,260
What is it?
1661
01:28:01,550 --> 01:28:02,600
Are they fighting?
1662
01:28:05,250 --> 01:28:06,510
What is happening?
1663
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:08,010
- The Spaniards advance,
1664
01:28:08,940 --> 01:28:09,930
but there is time.
1665
01:28:10,480 --> 01:28:12,370
- Where is Christian?
- At the parapet.
1666
01:28:12,820 --> 01:28:13,890
Oh, of course.
1667
01:28:14,930 --> 01:28:16,750
What is it
that you wish to tell me?
1668
01:28:16,780 --> 01:28:18,140
Roxane,...
1669
01:28:18,810 --> 01:28:21,690
believe me this is difficult,
and for once I lack words.
1670
01:28:24,690 --> 01:28:26,330
Christian asked me to...
1671
01:28:26,440 --> 01:28:27,850
He told me...
1672
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:38,220
Christian!
1673
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:42,970
To your places, gentlemen.
1674
01:28:43,970 --> 01:28:45,130
Is he dead?
1675
01:28:45,170 --> 01:28:46,260
No, but dying.
1676
01:28:46,300 --> 01:28:47,660
I will not let him!
1677
01:28:51,870 --> 01:28:54,530
Cyrano...did you?
1678
01:28:54,570 --> 01:28:56,610
Yes, my friend.
I have told her.
1679
01:28:58,350 --> 01:28:59,450
She loves you.
1680
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:02,190
Roxane.
1681
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:03,570
Yes, my darling.
1682
01:29:06,020 --> 01:29:07,320
Christian!
1683
01:29:08,170 --> 01:29:09,370
He is not dead?
1684
01:29:10,930 --> 01:29:11,830
Yes.
1685
01:29:12,310 --> 01:29:13,640
(gasp)
1686
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:22,890
Time you must go, now.
1687
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:25,860
Really, he is dead.
1688
01:29:25,890 --> 01:29:27,740
No one else
knew him but you.
1689
01:29:28,250 --> 01:29:29,630
Was he not a hero?
1690
01:29:29,670 --> 01:29:30,700
Yes, Roxane.
1691
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:33,340
A heart deeper
than we knew.
1692
01:29:33,380 --> 01:29:34,930
Yes, Roxane.
1693
01:29:35,010 --> 01:29:39,310
A poet.
A soul magnificently tender.
1694
01:29:41,750 --> 01:29:43,660
Yes, Roxane.
1695
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:46,740
But he is dead now.
1696
01:29:48,390 --> 01:29:50,030
(collapses sobbing)
1697
01:29:50,070 --> 01:29:51,230
Why, so am I.
1698
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:55,060
For I am dead
and my love mourns for me
1699
01:29:55,100 --> 01:29:56,550
and does not know.
1700
01:29:58,190 --> 01:29:59,530
Will never know.
1701
01:29:59,570 --> 01:30:00,990
(rapid gunfire)
1702
01:30:01,030 --> 01:30:02,410
(bugle calls)
1703
01:30:03,030 --> 01:30:04,030
Take her away quickly.
1704
01:30:05,670 --> 01:30:06,500
Wait.
1705
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:09,220
A letter over his heart.
1706
01:30:11,490 --> 01:30:12,850
(sobbing)
1707
01:30:16,740 --> 01:30:18,460
I have two deaths
to avenge, now,
1708
01:30:19,090 --> 01:30:22,670
Christian's...and my own.
1709
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:42,210
(fighting becomes intense)
1710
01:30:43,330 --> 01:30:46,820
(the Spanish army advances)
1711
01:30:49,450 --> 01:30:50,280
Fire!
1712
01:31:00,270 --> 01:31:02,810
Surrender or you die!
1713
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:51,720
(de Guiche)
Look! The signal!
1714
01:32:59,940 --> 01:33:00,940
Ah!
1715
01:33:07,070 --> 01:33:09,610
We fought. We died.
We fought again.
1716
01:33:09,750 --> 01:33:12,760
Who are these men who are
so fond of death, one Spaniard cried.
1717
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:14,440
On and on, they came.
1718
01:33:14,570 --> 01:33:17,210
Then, when all seemed lost,
we heard the trumpets
1719
01:33:17,250 --> 01:33:19,850
of our returning troops.
The battle was ours!
1720
01:33:20,690 --> 01:33:24,050
Ah, you have been fortunate,
Ms. de Bergerac, you have lived!
1721
01:33:24,090 --> 01:33:28,870
While we, we waste our youth.
There is no war and not hope for any.
1722
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:30,880
No hope for any?
1723
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:34,220
My fellow, I just realize,
we are both fools.
1724
01:33:34,630 --> 01:33:37,550
But mine is the greater folly,
for I am an older fool.
1725
01:33:38,170 --> 01:33:42,320
What is more......
Everything I told you was a lie.
1726
01:33:47,550 --> 01:33:49,680
Another satire
for the Gazette?
1727
01:33:49,710 --> 01:33:50,410
Yes.
1728
01:33:50,820 --> 01:33:53,480
Another glove flung
in the face of power?
1729
01:33:53,650 --> 01:33:55,400
Oh, why do you
do it, Cyrano?
1730
01:33:55,430 --> 01:33:57,860
- Why do you attack...
- Stupidity?
1731
01:33:57,880 --> 01:34:01,180
Deceit? Corruption?
I'm too old to change.
1732
01:34:01,370 --> 01:34:03,980
I'm an old dog
with nothing left but his teeth.
1733
01:34:04,010 --> 01:34:06,580
Ah, but teeth can be pulled.
That can be painful.
1734
01:34:10,440 --> 01:34:14,580
That insolent wretch.
That scoundrel de Bergerac.
1735
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:17,180
This time he's gone too far.
I swear it.
1736
01:34:17,210 --> 01:34:18,790
He's signed his death warrant.
1737
01:34:19,950 --> 01:34:21,730
And who will deliver it?
1738
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:25,040
His sword is still very
powerful, my friend.
1739
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:27,230
There are may ways
a man can die.
1740
01:34:27,990 --> 01:34:29,550
Who knows?
1741
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:31,430
He may meet
with an accident.
1742
01:34:32,550 --> 01:34:33,570
Soon.
1743
01:34:35,100 --> 01:34:38,710
(church chimes)
1744
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:46,060
But, uh, tell me, Madame.
1745
01:34:46,180 --> 01:34:50,830
How long will you continue
to remain here, forever in mourning?
1746
01:34:51,670 --> 01:34:52,570
Forever.
1747
01:34:53,060 --> 01:34:55,080
Was Christian all that?
1748
01:34:55,770 --> 01:34:57,400
If you knew him
you would not ask.
1749
01:34:57,950 --> 01:35:00,150
His last letter
is still in my heart.
1750
01:35:00,820 --> 01:35:04,770
And, uh, Cyrano?
Do you see him often?
1751
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:09,240
Every week. My old friend
takes the place of my Gazette.
1752
01:35:09,620 --> 01:35:11,320
He brings me all the news.
1753
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:14,940
Every Saturday under
that tree out there.
1754
01:35:14,980 --> 01:35:17,070
I wait for him embroidering.
1755
01:35:17,430 --> 01:35:20,240
The hour strikes.
I need not turn to look.
1756
01:35:20,570 --> 01:35:24,070
At the last stroke,
I hear his cane tapping the walk.
1757
01:35:24,100 --> 01:35:26,430
His satires have made
him many enemies.
1758
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:29,740
But, they still fear
that sword of his.
1759
01:35:30,330 --> 01:35:32,130
No one dare touch him.
1760
01:35:32,510 --> 01:35:33,670
Hm, that may be so.
1761
01:35:35,620 --> 01:35:38,160
It is not violence
I fear for him,
1762
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:42,560
but solitude, poverty.
Old gray Decembers
1763
01:35:42,590 --> 01:35:45,350
stealing on wolf's feet
into his darkened room.
1764
01:35:46,010 --> 01:35:48,230
It seems to me he's
worn the same old coat
1765
01:35:48,260 --> 01:35:49,610
for many months, now.
1766
01:35:49,650 --> 01:35:51,740
Eh, that is nothing
strange in this world.
1767
01:35:51,780 --> 01:35:53,820
You need not pity
him overmuch.
1768
01:35:53,860 --> 01:35:56,930
He lives his life,
his own life his own way,
1769
01:35:56,970 --> 01:36:00,300
thought, word and deed free.
1770
01:36:00,450 --> 01:36:01,610
My Lord Duke.
1771
01:36:01,750 --> 01:36:05,860
Oh, yes, I know.
I have all. He has nothing.
1772
01:36:06,370 --> 01:36:12,170
Nevertheless, today,
I should be proud to shake his hand.
1773
01:36:12,350 --> 01:36:14,000
Ah, well, adieu.
1774
01:36:14,670 --> 01:36:16,300
Will I ever see you again?
1775
01:36:16,340 --> 01:36:17,970
Come whenever you like.
1776
01:36:18,010 --> 01:36:19,610
Then, you have forgiven me.
1777
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:21,680
I am here.
1778
01:36:22,950 --> 01:36:25,380
Do you know?
When a man wins
1779
01:36:25,420 --> 01:36:29,750
everything in this world,
when he succeeds too much,
1780
01:36:29,790 --> 01:36:34,190
he feels, somehow,
a thousand small displeasures
1781
01:36:34,230 --> 01:36:38,560
with himself, whose whole sum
is not quite remorse
1782
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:45,570
but rather a sort of vague
disgust, dry illusions, pained regrets.
1783
01:36:45,870 --> 01:36:48,730
Yes, now and then,
I envy your Cyrano.
1784
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:50,860
The sentiment
does you honor.
1785
01:36:50,890 --> 01:36:52,250
(chuckling)
1786
01:36:59,350 --> 01:37:04,280
Madame, I must tell you,
it is true that no one has yet
1787
01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:06,490
dared to attack
your friend Cyrano.
1788
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:11,380
Nevertheless, at the theater
last night, I heard some things.
1789
01:37:12,260 --> 01:37:13,720
Keep him at home all you can.
1790
01:37:14,090 --> 01:37:17,330
Tomorrow when you see him,
tell him to be careful.
1791
01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:19,130
I thank you.
1792
01:37:32,050 --> 01:37:33,140
(Cyrano)
Good night, Ragueneau.
1793
01:37:33,180 --> 01:37:35,120
(Ragueneau)
Cyrano, you not leaving?
1794
01:37:35,150 --> 01:37:37,030
You will not have
dinner here with me?
1795
01:37:37,060 --> 01:37:38,860
(Cyrano)
My regrets. I have a magnificent
1796
01:37:38,900 --> 01:37:42,450
roast waiting for me, a rare wine,
a gift from my publisher.
1797
01:37:42,490 --> 01:37:43,890
(Ragueneau)
Fine, to be sure.
1798
01:37:44,650 --> 01:37:47,490
Uh, have you seen
Moliere's new play?
1799
01:37:47,530 --> 01:37:48,160
No.
1800
01:37:48,340 --> 01:37:49,650
Heh, ah, well....
1801
01:37:49,690 --> 01:37:50,580
What is it?
1802
01:37:50,610 --> 01:37:51,460
Well, he...
1803
01:37:51,500 --> 01:37:52,250
Speak.
1804
01:37:52,290 --> 01:37:55,220
He stole a scene
from you, word for word.
1805
01:37:55,250 --> 01:37:57,140
You know, "What the devil
was he doing there?"
1806
01:37:57,170 --> 01:37:57,730
That one.
1807
01:37:57,770 --> 01:37:59,040
He stole it, bodily.
1808
01:37:59,070 --> 01:38:01,300
Well, he showed
good taste.
1809
01:38:01,340 --> 01:38:03,020
It, uh, played well?
1810
01:38:03,060 --> 01:38:05,450
Oh, beautifully. They
laughed and laughed.
1811
01:38:05,480 --> 01:38:06,810
Oh, how they laughed.
1812
01:38:07,250 --> 01:38:08,560
Moliere has genius.
1813
01:38:09,370 --> 01:38:11,010
Christian had good looks.
1814
01:38:12,170 --> 01:38:13,610
With me, it was
always thus.
1815
01:38:16,050 --> 01:38:17,240
Good night, my friend.
1816
01:38:32,340 --> 01:38:32,950
(man)
Hold, there.
1817
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:33,950
(man)
You!
1818
01:38:35,650 --> 01:38:36,850
(Cyrano)
Are you addressing me?
1819
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:38,990
Yes, you, Monsieur
of the long nose.
1820
01:38:39,100 --> 01:38:40,000
Insolence.
1821
01:38:40,290 --> 01:38:41,990
- Foulmouthed scribbler.
- What?
1822
01:38:42,020 --> 01:38:43,440
- Lair, plagiarist!
- Liar.
1823
01:38:47,910 --> 01:38:49,660
(whistling to wagon)
1824
01:39:08,630 --> 01:39:10,920
(driver whips horses)
1825
01:39:27,570 --> 01:39:28,490
Doctor.
1826
01:39:29,930 --> 01:39:31,260
Why pretend?
1827
01:39:31,550 --> 01:39:32,910
It is very grave.
1828
01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:35,500
Keep him quiet
at all costs.
1829
01:39:35,540 --> 01:39:38,500
If he attempts
to rise, he will die.
1830
01:39:38,540 --> 01:39:39,810
Shhhh.
1831
01:39:43,220 --> 01:39:43,930
Thank you.
1832
01:39:44,980 --> 01:39:47,240
(door closes)
1833
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:55,820
(gate bell rings)
1834
01:39:59,820 --> 01:40:01,490
(gate opens)
1835
01:40:01,530 --> 01:40:03,170
Monsieur.
1836
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:03,860
Ah, Sister.
1837
01:40:09,810 --> 01:40:10,880
(gasp)
1838
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:12,350
What is the matter
with you?
1839
01:40:14,480 --> 01:40:15,900
Shall I tell you
something, Sister?
1840
01:40:16,540 --> 01:40:20,470
Yesterday, Friday, mind you,
I ate meat again.
1841
01:40:21,930 --> 01:40:23,000
Yes, I know.
1842
01:40:23,350 --> 01:40:25,080
That is why you
are so pale.
1843
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:27,930
Please come to me
to the refectory before you go.
1844
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,250
I'll make you a great
bowl of hot soup.
1845
01:40:30,280 --> 01:40:31,630
Of course, of course.
1846
01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:33,950
You're quite reasonable today.
1847
01:40:33,990 --> 01:40:36,120
Perhaps you'll convert me.
1848
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:38,260
Oh, no! Not for the world.
1849
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:40,690
Why, now I think of it,
that is so.
1850
01:40:41,070 --> 01:40:44,560
You, bursting with holiness,
and yet you never preach.
1851
01:40:45,470 --> 01:40:46,760
Astonishing.
1852
01:40:47,060 --> 01:40:49,100
And now I shall astonish you.
1853
01:40:49,690 --> 01:40:54,110
I'm going to let you
pray for me tonight, at Vespers.
1854
01:40:55,830 --> 01:40:58,700
Absolutely struck dumb, eh?
1855
01:41:02,550 --> 01:41:05,180
I did not wait for you
to say I might.
1856
01:41:14,930 --> 01:41:17,450
Now may the devil admire
me if never hope to see
1857
01:41:17,490 --> 01:41:19,570
the end of that embroidery.
1858
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:23,440
After 14 years,
late for the first time.
1859
01:41:23,480 --> 01:41:26,550
Yes.
Yes, maddening.
1860
01:41:27,330 --> 01:41:31,480
I was detained by
a visitor. Most unexpected.
1861
01:41:32,150 --> 01:41:33,660
An old friend of mine.
1862
01:41:34,540 --> 01:41:36,830
At least a very
old acquaintance.
1863
01:41:36,870 --> 01:41:38,320
Did you tell him
to go away?
1864
01:41:38,980 --> 01:41:40,410
For the time being, yes.
1865
01:41:40,440 --> 01:41:45,270
I said excuse me,
I see that it's Saturday,
1866
01:41:45,620 --> 01:41:48,200
I have a previous
engagement.
1867
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:49,620
One I cannot miss.
1868
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:52,340
Even for you.
1869
01:41:53,250 --> 01:41:55,310
Come back an hour from now.
1870
01:41:55,420 --> 01:41:59,170
Your friend will have to wait.
I shall not let you go till dark.
1871
01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:04,970
Perhaps a little before dark,
I must go.
1872
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:09,080
Oh, then tell me now
the court news. My Gazette.
1873
01:42:10,390 --> 01:42:14,190
Ah, yes, well, let me see.
1874
01:42:16,350 --> 01:42:20,840
Saturday, 19th, the King
fell ill after eight helpings of
1875
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:22,170
grape marmalade.
1876
01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:26,320
Grape marmalade will
no longer be served at court.
1877
01:42:28,190 --> 01:42:33,010
Sunday, the royal pulse
is now normal.
1878
01:42:34,630 --> 01:42:37,930
Monday, everyone was
talking about the success
1879
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:39,600
of Moliere's new play.
1880
01:42:40,830 --> 01:42:46,110
Tuesday, the King fell ill
after six helpings of marone glacee.
1881
01:42:47,910 --> 01:42:50,130
Marone glacee will no
longer be served at court.
1882
01:42:51,710 --> 01:42:55,700
Wednesday, the Compte de Firske
spoke to Madame de Monte Glas.
1883
01:42:56,500 --> 01:42:59,380
She said....no.
1884
01:43:01,480 --> 01:43:07,450
Thursday.... Nothing.
1885
01:43:07,490 --> 01:43:10,580
Friday, Madame de Monte Glas
said yes.
1886
01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:18,800
Saturday, 25th....
1887
01:43:19,450 --> 01:43:20,520
Cyrano!
1888
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:24,010
What is it?
Cyrano!
1889
01:43:28,660 --> 01:43:31,300
- Oh, no, no, it is nothing.
- What?
1890
01:43:31,750 --> 01:43:34,200
The old wound at Arras
sometimes...
1891
01:43:34,230 --> 01:43:36,980
- My poor friend.
- No, no, no, it is nothing.
1892
01:43:37,830 --> 01:43:39,350
It will soon be gone.
1893
01:43:41,010 --> 01:43:44,990
(gasp) There. 'Tis gone.
1894
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:48,480
We all have
our old wounds.
1895
01:43:49,020 --> 01:43:53,920
I have mine here,
under this faded scrap of writing.
1896
01:43:55,380 --> 01:43:57,340
It's hard to read now.
1897
01:43:58,370 --> 01:44:01,340
All for the blots
and tears.
1898
01:44:01,370 --> 01:44:02,560
His letter?
1899
01:44:03,480 --> 01:44:06,650
Did you not promise me,
that someday you would let me read it?
1900
01:44:07,090 --> 01:44:12,350
- This letter? You wish...?
- I do wish it....today.
1901
01:44:22,650 --> 01:44:24,230
Open it and read.
1902
01:44:49,700 --> 01:44:54,660
"Farewell, Roxane,
because today I die."
1903
01:44:54,690 --> 01:44:56,000
Aloud?
1904
01:44:57,180 --> 01:45:00,150
"I know that it will be today,
my own dearly beloved.
1905
01:45:01,630 --> 01:45:04,900
"Yet, my heart still so heavy
with love I have not told.
1906
01:45:06,440 --> 01:45:11,330
"And I shall die without telling you.
1907
01:45:11,900 --> 01:45:15,740
"No more shall my eyes
drink the sight of you like wine,
1908
01:45:16,230 --> 01:45:19,180
"never more with a look
that is a kiss,
1909
01:45:19,740 --> 01:45:22,430
"follow the sweet
grace of you."
1910
01:45:22,470 --> 01:45:24,400
How you read it.
His letter.
1911
01:45:24,440 --> 01:45:26,300
"I remember now the way you have
1912
01:45:26,340 --> 01:45:30,280
"of pushing back a lock of hair
with one hand from your forehead,
1913
01:45:30,860 --> 01:45:33,270
- "and my heart cries out..."
- His letter!
1914
01:45:33,310 --> 01:45:35,000
- "cries out and keeps crying."
1915
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:38,240
- You read it so...
- "Farewell, my dear, my dearest,"
1916
01:45:38,270 --> 01:45:40,650
- In a voice...
- "my own heart's own,"
1917
01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:44,230
- "my own treasure,"
- In such a voice!
- "my...love."
1918
01:45:44,260 --> 01:45:47,140
Yes, I remember hearing long ago.
1919
01:45:47,490 --> 01:45:52,210
"I am never away from you.
Even now I shall not leave you.
1920
01:45:53,110 --> 01:45:56,360
"In another world, I shall
still be that one who loves you,
1921
01:45:56,390 --> 01:46:00,110
"loves you beyond measure,
beyond..."
1922
01:46:09,180 --> 01:46:11,130
But, how can you read it now?
1923
01:46:14,420 --> 01:46:17,810
And all those 14 years
he has been the old friend
1924
01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:19,650
who came to me to be amusing.
1925
01:46:20,930 --> 01:46:23,170
- Roxane.
- It was you.
1926
01:46:23,910 --> 01:46:24,880
No, no, Roxane, no.
1927
01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:28,100
And I might have know it every time
that I heard you speak my name.
1928
01:46:28,130 --> 01:46:31,690
- No, it was not I.
- It was you!
- I swear.
1929
01:46:32,460 --> 01:46:34,810
- The letters. That was you.
- No.
1930
01:46:35,140 --> 01:46:38,960
- And the dear foolish words.
That was you.
- No.
1931
01:46:39,190 --> 01:46:43,290
- And the voice in the dark.
That was you.
- On my honor!
1932
01:46:43,330 --> 01:46:47,170
And the soul.
It was all you.
1933
01:46:47,270 --> 01:46:49,180
I never loved you.
1934
01:46:49,350 --> 01:46:50,850
Yes, you loved me.
1935
01:46:50,970 --> 01:46:52,740
Even now you love me.
1936
01:46:53,660 --> 01:46:55,610
(gasp)
No!
1937
01:46:55,650 --> 01:46:57,920
And twice you're great to know.
1938
01:46:57,950 --> 01:47:00,760
Oh, no, no, my own dear love,
I love you not.
1939
01:47:03,340 --> 01:47:05,840
Why were you silent
for so many years?
1940
01:47:06,580 --> 01:47:07,860
All the while.
1941
01:47:08,090 --> 01:47:11,110
Every night, and every day,
he gave me nothing.
1942
01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:13,120
You knew that.
1943
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:16,680
You knew in that letter
lying on my breast.
1944
01:47:17,940 --> 01:47:19,230
Your tears.
1945
01:47:20,580 --> 01:47:22,770
You knew they
were your tears.
1946
01:47:26,390 --> 01:47:28,270
The blood was his.
1947
01:47:29,370 --> 01:47:30,200
Cyrano!
1948
01:47:32,690 --> 01:47:34,320
Here! He's here.
1949
01:47:34,490 --> 01:47:36,270
Oh, what recklessness.
1950
01:47:36,310 --> 01:47:36,570
No.
1951
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:37,430
I knew it!
1952
01:47:37,490 --> 01:47:40,440
- Oh Madame he has killed
himself coming here.
- No. Shh.
1953
01:47:40,700 --> 01:47:42,220
That drink is, what is it?
1954
01:47:42,290 --> 01:47:45,510
Nothing. I did not
finish my Gazette.
1955
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:49,970
Saturday, 26th, an hour
or so before dinner
1956
01:47:50,540 --> 01:47:55,340
Ms. de Bergerac died,
foully murdered.
1957
01:47:55,690 --> 01:47:57,470
Cyrano, what have
they done to you?
1958
01:47:57,600 --> 01:47:59,540
How fate loves a jest.
1959
01:47:59,980 --> 01:48:03,000
Behold me ambushed,
taken unawares.
1960
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:08,830
My noble foe, a lackey.
My battlefield, a gutter.
1961
01:48:09,490 --> 01:48:10,950
It seems too logical.
1962
01:48:11,370 --> 01:48:13,040
They have missed everything,
1963
01:48:13,820 --> 01:48:15,290
even my death.
1964
01:48:16,330 --> 01:48:17,950
Sisters! Sisters!
1965
01:48:17,990 --> 01:48:21,350
No, do not go away.
I may not be here when you return.
1966
01:48:22,030 --> 01:48:23,760
You shall not die.
1967
01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:25,460
(sobbing)
I love you.
1968
01:48:25,490 --> 01:48:27,410
No, my lady,
it's not in the story.
1969
01:48:28,100 --> 01:48:29,900
When beauty said
I love you to the beast
1970
01:48:29,930 --> 01:48:32,990
all his ugliness changed
and dissolved, like magic.
1971
01:48:33,550 --> 01:48:37,370
But, you see,
I am still the same.
1972
01:48:37,440 --> 01:48:39,430
And I have
done this to you.
1973
01:48:39,470 --> 01:48:40,620
You? Why no.
1974
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:42,060
All my fault, mine!
1975
01:48:42,100 --> 01:48:43,320
On the contrary.
1976
01:48:44,060 --> 01:48:47,080
I have never know womanhood
in its sweetness, but for you.
1977
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:50,750
My mother did not
like to look at me.
1978
01:48:52,050 --> 01:48:53,530
I never had a sister.
1979
01:48:54,880 --> 01:49:01,130
Later, I feared those sweethearts
with mockery behind her smile.
1980
01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:06,150
But, because of you,
I have had across my life
1981
01:49:06,930 --> 01:49:10,600
one whispering, silken gown.
1982
01:49:12,780 --> 01:49:15,200
I never loved but
one man in my life.
1983
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:18,680
I have lost him, twice.
1984
01:49:19,660 --> 01:49:23,540
(sobbing)
1985
01:49:23,570 --> 01:49:27,890
I would not have you mourning
any less that good, noble Christian.
1986
01:49:28,980 --> 01:49:32,570
But, perhaps, I ask only this,
1987
01:49:34,100 --> 01:49:36,370
when the great cold
gathers around my bones,
1988
01:49:37,770 --> 01:49:42,590
you may give a double
meaning to your widow's weeds.
1989
01:49:43,910 --> 01:49:50,900
The tears you let fall for him,
may for a little, be my tears.
1990
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:53,040
Oh, my love!
1991
01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:58,400
No, not here.
Not lying down.
1992
01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:01,300
Let no one help me.
No one need help me.
1993
01:50:06,310 --> 01:50:07,430
It is coming.
1994
01:50:08,260 --> 01:50:11,460
I feel already shod with marble.
1995
01:50:12,720 --> 01:50:13,950
Gloved with lead.
1996
01:50:14,730 --> 01:50:16,700
Very well,
let the old fellow come now.
1997
01:50:17,190 --> 01:50:19,600
He shall find me
on my feet.
1998
01:50:21,670 --> 01:50:23,120
Sword in hand.
1999
01:50:23,160 --> 01:50:24,110
Cyrano!
2000
01:50:24,500 --> 01:50:25,890
He'd delirious.
2001
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:28,000
I see him now.
2002
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:28,700
He grins.
2003
01:50:28,740 --> 01:50:30,750
He is looking at my nose!
2004
01:50:30,790 --> 01:50:31,820
That skeleton.
2005
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:33,730
You there.
2006
01:50:33,970 --> 01:50:34,670
Who are you?
2007
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:36,950
A hundred against one, eh?
2008
01:50:37,300 --> 01:50:40,020
I know them now,
my ancient enemies.
2009
01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:40,960
Falsehood, there!
2010
01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:42,470
There, Prejudice!
2011
01:50:42,490 --> 01:50:44,100
Compromise, Cowardice.
2012
01:50:44,580 --> 01:50:47,160
What's that?
Surrender? No, never!
2013
01:50:47,190 --> 01:50:48,430
Never!
2014
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:50,820
Ah, you too, Vanity.
2015
01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:54,180
I knew you would
overthrow me in the end.
2016
01:50:54,210 --> 01:50:57,310
No, I fight, I fight on,
I fight....ow!
2017
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:01,000
(gasping)
2018
01:51:06,540 --> 01:51:08,550
All my laurels
you have riven away.
2019
01:51:10,290 --> 01:51:11,770
And my roses.
2020
01:51:12,940 --> 01:51:15,600
Yet, in spite of you,
there is one crown
2021
01:51:15,630 --> 01:51:16,980
I made away with me.
2022
01:51:17,020 --> 01:51:20,380
And tonight when I
enter before God,
2023
01:51:21,850 --> 01:51:27,140
my salute shall sweep away
the stars from the blue threshold.
2024
01:51:28,310 --> 01:51:33,240
One thing without stain,
unspotted from the world,
2025
01:51:34,240 --> 01:51:40,610
in spite of doom, mine own,
...and that is...
2026
01:51:43,220 --> 01:51:51,220
my...white...plume...

In seventeenth-century Paris, poet and supreme swordsman Cyrano de Bergerac (José Ferrer) stops a play from being shown because he ostensibly cannot stand the bombastic style of the principal actor, Montfleury (Arthur Blake). An annoyed aristocratic fop, the Vicomte de Valvert (Albert Cavens), provokes him into a duel by tritely insulting Cyrano's enormous nose. Cyrano first mocks his lack of wit, improvising numerous inventive ways in which Valvert could have phrased it (much to the amusement of the audience). He then composes a ballade for the occasion on the spot and recites it during the sword fight. With the last line, he stabs his opponent.
Cyrano's friend Le Bret (Morris Carnovsky), Captain of the Gascony Guards, warns him he has made powerful enemies of his victim's friends, but he is unconcerned. When Le Bret presses him to reveal the real reason he hates Montfleury, Cyrano admits that he became jealous when he saw the actor smiling at his beautiful cousin Roxane (Mala Powers). He confesses that he is in love with her, but harbors no hope of it being returned because of his nose. When he receives a request from Roxane to see her in the morning, he is finally emboldened to act.
Then pastry chef and fellow poet Ragueneau (Lloyd Corrigan) approaches him for help. Ragueneau has learned that a nobleman he had mocked with his verses, the Comte De Guiche (Ralph Clanton), has hired a hundred ruffians to teach him a lesson. Cyrano escorts him, kills eight of the horde, and drives off the rest.
The next day, before he can tell Roxane of his feelings, she informs him that she has fallen in love with a handsome guardsman, Christian de Neuvillette (William Prince), though she has not even spoken to him. Cyrano hides his devastation and agrees to help her.
Cyrano befriends the young man, who is in Cyrano's guards' unit, and discovers that he is infatuated with Roxane, but is too inept with words to woo her. To help him, Cyrano composes Christian's love letters to Roxane, which she finds irresistible. Later, Christian decides he wants no more help and tries to speak to Roxane face to face, but fails miserably and she re-enters her house in an angry huff. Cyrano, hiding in the bushes, comes to his rescue, but this time by imitating Christian's voice and speaking to Roxane from under her balcony. He is so eloquent that he (unintentionally) wins a kiss for Christian from Roxane.
When the arrogant Comte De Guiche, who is also wooing Roxane, pressures her to marry him, Cyrano delays him long enough for her to wed Christian instead. Furious, De Guiche, Christian's commander, orders him to join his unit immediately for a war against the Spanish, preventing the couple from spending their wedding night together.
With Cyrano under his command as well, De Guiche earns the swordsman's respect by his conduct in the war. From the field, Cyrano sends Roxane letters every day, supposedly written by Christian. Roxane visits her husband in camp and tells him that she now has fallen in love with him not merely for his looks but because of his words, and would love him even if he were ugly. Realizing that she really loves Cyrano, Christian gets his rival to agree to tell Roxane the truth and let her decide between them. But before the opportunity arises, Christian volunteers for a dangerous mission and is fatally wounded, silencing Cyrano.
Roxane enters a convent in mourning. Years pass, with Cyrano visiting Roxane weekly, having retired from the military and writing satirical articles mocking the nobility. De Guiche, who has also befriended her and has come to respect Cyrano, has overheard a courtier plotting against Cyrano. De Guiche warns Roxane that Cyrano's life may be in danger. One night, Cyrano is lured into an ambush; the poet is run down by a carriage. Near death, he hides his injuries and goes to keep his appointment with Roxane for the last time. His secret love for Roxane is finally revealed when he recites from memory the last of his love letters, which she has kept, but it is too late. Cyrano first slips into delirium, then dies, leaving Roxane to mourn a second time.

00:01:58,150 --> 00:02:01,030
(applause)
2
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,210
(applause continues)
3
00:02:26,210 --> 00:02:29,890
<i>Thrice happy he who hides
from pomp and power</i>
4
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:33,590
<i>in sylvan shade
or solitary bower</i>
5
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,630
<i>where balmy zephyrs
fan his burning cheeks...</i>
6
00:02:37,660 --> 00:02:41,460
- Clown! The king of clowns!
Leave the stage at once!
7
00:02:43,970 --> 00:02:44,620
- Who is it?
8
00:02:44,650 --> 00:02:47,570
It's Cyrano.
I was afraid he'd do this.
9
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,250
<i>Thrice happy he
who hides from pomp and power...</i>
10
00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:54,910
- Wretch! Did I not forbid
you to appear this month?
11
00:02:57,940 --> 00:02:59,260
- Let's be quiet.
- Quiet!
12
00:03:00,190 --> 00:03:01,380
- Go on Montfleury.
13
00:03:04,270 --> 00:03:06,400
<i>Thrice happy he who...</i>
14
00:03:06,430 --> 00:03:07,630
- He who, indeed.
15
00:03:07,660 --> 00:03:10,730
- Donkeys say rather Hee-Haw!
16
00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:17,790
Begone! Or must I come and
help you off the stage myself?
17
00:03:21,130 --> 00:03:24,000
What! Still there?
18
00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:28,220
<i>Where balmy zephyrs
fan his burning cheeks... </i>
19
00:03:28,250 --> 00:03:32,050
Fat swine, if you dare breathe
on balmy zephyr more
20
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,640
I'll fan your cheeks
for you!
21
00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:36,480
Monsieur, won't you all
protect me?
22
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,090
- Proceed, proceed.
- Go on.
23
00:03:38,130 --> 00:03:40,880
Sir, I will not allow you
to insult me in this manner.
24
00:03:40,910 --> 00:03:43,520
Really?
What manner would you prefer?
25
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:44,850
Quiet, down there!
26
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,940
- We'll tolerate
no more of this.
27
00:03:47,870 --> 00:03:49,720
Go on with the play,
Montfleury.
28
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:52,380
(shouting criticisms)
29
00:03:52,410 --> 00:03:54,480
Unless these gentlemen
retain your seats
30
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,790
my sword may
bite their ribbons.
31
00:03:56,830 --> 00:03:58,650
Who is this braggart?
32
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,070
My cousin, sir.
33
00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:04,710
Well, Montfleury,
still no exit?
34
00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:06,930
- Very well then,
I enter
35
00:04:06,970 --> 00:04:11,740
with knife, to carve
this fat, stuffed goose.
36
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:14,800
(ominous music begins)
37
00:04:14,830 --> 00:04:18,080
(crowd clamors)
38
00:04:20,030 --> 00:04:22,170
I pray, do not crowd
my scabbard here.
39
00:04:22,210 --> 00:04:24,320
She may put her
tongue out at you.
40
00:04:24,350 --> 00:04:27,140
(shouted recriminations)
41
00:04:29,870 --> 00:04:30,990
Silence.
42
00:04:31,910 --> 00:04:33,830
I say be silent!
43
00:04:35,450 --> 00:04:38,260
And I offer one universal
challenge to you all:
44
00:04:38,460 --> 00:04:41,410
Will all who wish to die,
please raise their hands.
45
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,360
Approach, young heroes.
I will take your names.
46
00:04:45,140 --> 00:04:47,830
To the first man who falls
I'll build a monument.
47
00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:49,710
Who will head the list?
48
00:04:50,010 --> 00:04:50,780
You, sir?
49
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,000
No.
50
00:04:52,830 --> 00:04:53,610
You?
51
00:04:54,470 --> 00:04:55,170
No, no.
52
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,770
Anyone?
53
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,600
Anyone at all?
54
00:05:01,110 --> 00:05:03,550
Not one...name?
55
00:05:04,260 --> 00:05:06,420
Not one finger?
56
00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:10,260
Very well then,
I go on.
57
00:05:16,130 --> 00:05:18,810
Attend to me, Full Moon.
58
00:05:21,340 --> 00:05:24,190
I clap my hands three times, thus.
59
00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:26,740
(three claps)
60
00:05:26,770 --> 00:05:30,320
At the third, you will...
eclipse yourself.
61
00:05:30,490 --> 00:05:31,390
Ready!
62
00:05:32,110 --> 00:05:32,910
One.
63
00:05:34,010 --> 00:05:34,900
(clap)
64
00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:36,070
How dare you.
65
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:37,210
I demand!
66
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,070
I insist.
67
00:05:38,110 --> 00:05:40,150
- I call upon all the nobles...
- Two!
68
00:05:41,010 --> 00:05:42,080
(clap)
69
00:05:42,110 --> 00:05:43,090
This is an outrage.
70
00:05:43,130 --> 00:05:44,040
You hear, an outrage.
71
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:46,620
Nothing on earth
will move me from this stage.
72
00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:48,800
Three!
73
00:05:49,570 --> 00:05:49,910
(clap)
74
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:55,410
(laughter)
75
00:05:56,260 --> 00:05:59,210
Fair ladies and noble gentlemen...
- Boo!
76
00:05:59,250 --> 00:06:02,560
(laughter)
77
00:06:02,950 --> 00:06:04,210
But, Monsieur de Bergerac,
78
00:06:04,250 --> 00:06:07,490
why have you done this
to our Montfleury, an admirable actor?
79
00:06:07,530 --> 00:06:10,090
I have two reasons,
either one conclusive.
80
00:06:10,670 --> 00:06:12,800
First, he is an
abominable actor,
81
00:06:12,830 --> 00:06:15,870
who mouths his verse
and moans his tragedy.
82
00:06:16,350 --> 00:06:17,630
Second,....
83
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:20,970
Well, that's my secret.
84
00:06:22,530 --> 00:06:25,280
But...
But you've closed the play!
85
00:06:25,310 --> 00:06:26,880
It is not a very good play.
86
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:28,970
Huh!
And of their money?
87
00:06:29,010 --> 00:06:31,080
Possibly you would like
that returned to these good people.
88
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:31,960
Yes?
89
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,360
Yes.
90
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:35,830
Here,...catch!
91
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:37,920
(crowd murmurs)
92
00:06:38,410 --> 00:06:41,960
Well, Monsieur, you are hereby
authorized to close our play every night.
93
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,200
On these terms.
94
00:06:43,230 --> 00:06:43,740
(laughter)
95
00:06:43,780 --> 00:06:46,400
Ladies and gentlemen,
your money will be returned.
96
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,250
Kindly pass out, quietly.
97
00:06:48,290 --> 00:06:50,030
Goodnight, goodnight.
98
00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:53,220
(crowd accepts
in good spirits)
99
00:06:55,740 --> 00:06:57,120
(until...)
100
00:06:59,530 --> 00:07:02,610
Your cousin is an
extraordinary man, Madame.
101
00:07:02,650 --> 00:07:04,080
Oh, I agree.
102
00:07:04,410 --> 00:07:08,550
Soldier, poet, philosopher,
musician, playwright.
103
00:07:08,580 --> 00:07:09,570
All those?
104
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,360
Yes, and the best
swordsman in Paris.
105
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,310
Really?
106
00:07:14,340 --> 00:07:17,060
Now, I should have thought
the Vicomte here had that honor.
107
00:07:17,310 --> 00:07:21,360
Tell me, Madame, that
comic mask, that nose,
108
00:07:21,390 --> 00:07:23,300
presently he will take it off?
109
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:25,950
No, Monsieur, he keeps it.
110
00:07:26,450 --> 00:07:29,350
And heaven help
the man who smiles.
111
00:07:29,850 --> 00:07:31,060
Good night.
112
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,880
Oh, Monsieur!
113
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,980
Monsieur!
114
00:07:40,020 --> 00:07:42,710
Uh, when do you leave Paris?
115
00:07:43,210 --> 00:07:44,100
Sir?
116
00:07:44,250 --> 00:07:46,280
Why, after what you've
just done to Montfleury,
117
00:07:46,310 --> 00:07:48,750
did you not know that
the Compte de Guiche was his patron?
118
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:50,190
Who's yours?
119
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:52,140
No one.
120
00:07:52,170 --> 00:07:52,940
No one?
121
00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:53,870
No patron?
122
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:54,630
I said not.
123
00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:56,900
But the Compte de Guiche
has a long arm.
124
00:07:56,930 --> 00:07:58,900
Mine is longer
by three feet of steel.
125
00:07:59,530 --> 00:08:00,180
Yes, but..
126
00:08:00,860 --> 00:08:02,160
but, what a scare...
127
00:08:02,190 --> 00:08:02,990
You may go now.
128
00:08:03,020 --> 00:08:04,510
- but...
- You may go.
129
00:08:05,810 --> 00:08:08,620
Well, tell me,
why are you staring at my nose?
130
00:08:08,650 --> 00:08:10,160
Oh, I was not staring.
131
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:11,630
Does it astonish you?
132
00:08:11,660 --> 00:08:13,920
Why n...Why no, I've been careful
not to look.
133
00:08:13,950 --> 00:08:15,510
Oh, and why not, if you please?
134
00:08:15,550 --> 00:08:16,730
It disgusts you, then?
135
00:08:16,770 --> 00:08:17,880
But, no, I just...
136
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,700
Does its color appear
to you unwholesome?
137
00:08:19,730 --> 00:08:20,480
By no means.
138
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,310
Then, possibly you find it
just a trifle large?
139
00:08:22,340 --> 00:08:24,500
No, small, very small, tiny!
140
00:08:24,530 --> 00:08:25,640
Infinitesimal!
141
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,960
What?
You accuse me of absurdity?
142
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,730
Small, my nose?
Why magnificent, my nose!
143
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,900
You pug, you knob,
you button head,
144
00:08:34,930 --> 00:08:37,170
know that I glory
in this nose of mine!
145
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,400
For a great nose
indicates a great man,
146
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:45,440
congenial, courteous,
intellectual, virile, courageous.
147
00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:48,050
Whilst that face of yours,
148
00:08:48,370 --> 00:08:54,070
that blank, inglorious concavity
which my right hand finds on top of you,
149
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:59,630
is as devoid of pride, of poetry,
of soul, of picturesqueness,
150
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:04,810
of contour, of character,
of nose, in short,
151
00:09:04,850 --> 00:09:09,740
as that which is at the bottom of
that limp spine of yours my left foot...
- Oh, help!
152
00:09:09,780 --> 00:09:11,550
(laughter)
153
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:13,840
Presently, this fellow
will grow tiresome.
154
00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:16,590
Oh, he blows his horn.
155
00:09:17,330 --> 00:09:19,800
- Well, will no one
put him in his place?
156
00:09:20,270 --> 00:09:22,660
If you would all me.
Observe.
157
00:09:25,090 --> 00:09:31,260
Monsieur, your nose,
your nose is rather large.
158
00:09:34,450 --> 00:09:35,400
Rather?
159
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,350
Oh, well.
160
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:37,620
Is that all?
161
00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:38,540
Well, of course, you...
162
00:09:38,570 --> 00:09:40,400
Ah, no young sir, you're too simple.
163
00:09:40,430 --> 00:09:42,620
Why, you might have
said a great many things.
164
00:09:42,650 --> 00:09:44,800
Why waste your opportunity?
165
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:45,860
For example, thus...
166
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:47,450
Aggressive---
167
00:09:47,490 --> 00:09:51,040
I, sir, if that great nose were mine,
I would have it amputated on the spot.
168
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:52,710
Practical---
169
00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:56,570
How do you drink with such a nose.
You must have had a cup made especially.
170
00:09:56,850 --> 00:09:57,880
Descriptive---
171
00:09:57,910 --> 00:10:00,570
'Tis a rock, a crag, a cape.
172
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,510
A cape, say rather, a peninsula.
173
00:10:05,890 --> 00:10:06,990
Inquisitive---
174
00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:11,400
Uh, what is that receptacle,
a razor case or a portfolio?
175
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,680
Kindly---
176
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,840
Ah, do you love the little birds so much
that when they come and sing to you,
177
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,690
you give them this to perch on?
178
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,570
Cautious---
179
00:10:20,610 --> 00:10:24,120
Take care. A weight like that
might make you top-heavy.
180
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,250
Eloquent---
181
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,510
When it blows the typhoon howls
and the clouds darken.
182
00:10:29,580 --> 00:10:30,400
Dramatic---
183
00:10:30,430 --> 00:10:34,690
When it bleeds...the Red Sea.
184
00:10:35,540 --> 00:10:36,530
Simple---
185
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:39,640
Eh, when do they
unveil the monument?
186
00:10:40,020 --> 00:10:40,900
Military---
187
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:43,510
Beware, a secret weapon!
188
00:10:44,290 --> 00:10:45,620
Enterprising---
189
00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:48,080
What a sigh for some perfumer!
190
00:10:48,490 --> 00:10:49,300
Respectful---
191
00:10:49,330 --> 00:10:52,050
Uh sir, I recognize in you
a man of parts,
192
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,740
a man of...prominence.
193
00:10:54,770 --> 00:10:56,500
Or, Literary---
194
00:10:56,530 --> 00:10:59,360
Was this the nose
that launched a thousand ships?
195
00:11:00,010 --> 00:11:02,850
These, my dear sir, are things
you might have said had you
196
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,690
some tinge of letters or of wit
to color your discourse.
197
00:11:05,810 --> 00:11:07,970
Bit wit not so.
You never had an atom.
198
00:11:08,270 --> 00:11:14,480
And of letters, you need
but three to write you down, a..s..s.
199
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:16,530
Ass.
200
00:11:16,570 --> 00:11:18,040
- (laughter)
- You, sir!
201
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,600
Dolt! Bumpkin! Fool!
202
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:26,620
How do you do, and I,
Cyrano Savinien Hercule de Bergerac.
203
00:11:26,650 --> 00:11:28,050
Vicomte, come.
204
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,650
Such arrogance.
This scarecrow who...
205
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:31,850
Look at him!
206
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,120
No ribbons. No lace.
Not even gloves!
207
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,700
True. I carry my adornments
only on my soul.
208
00:11:39,740 --> 00:11:41,860
Decked with deeds
instead of ribbons.
209
00:11:41,890 --> 00:11:43,420
Mantled in my good name,
210
00:11:43,460 --> 00:11:45,350
and crowned with a
white plume of freedom.
211
00:11:45,380 --> 00:11:46,130
But..
212
00:11:46,170 --> 00:11:47,510
But, I have no gloves.
213
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:48,630
A pity, too.
214
00:11:48,670 --> 00:11:51,630
I had one, the last one of an old pair,
and lost that.
215
00:11:51,660 --> 00:11:53,250
Very careless of me.
216
00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:55,750
Some gentleman offered me
an impertinence.
217
00:11:55,790 --> 00:11:59,840
I left it in his face.
218
00:11:59,870 --> 00:12:00,840
So be it!
219
00:12:02,110 --> 00:12:05,050
You shall die exquisitely
220
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,160
Oh, a poet.
221
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,640
Oh, yes, a poet if you will.
222
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:11,510
So, uh, while we fight,
I'll improvise a ballad for you,
223
00:12:11,540 --> 00:12:15,270
and as I end the refrain,
...skhrch!...thrust home.
224
00:12:15,310 --> 00:12:16,280
Will you?
225
00:12:17,180 --> 00:12:18,130
I will.
226
00:12:21,820 --> 00:12:23,420
(excited crowd)
227
00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:26,890
Ballad au Duel
at the Theatre de Burgoyne
228
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,320
between de Bergerac,
and uh.....a barbarian.
229
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,240
What do you mean by that?
230
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,000
Oh, that?
231
00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:34,960
The title.
232
00:12:34,990 --> 00:12:36,570
(laughter)
233
00:12:36,610 --> 00:12:38,200
Stop. Let me choose my rhyme.
234
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:47,640
So. Here we go.
235
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:50,070
Lightly I toss my hat away.
236
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:55,440
Languidly o'er my arm let fall
the cloak that covers my bright array.
237
00:12:55,510 --> 00:13:00,770
Then, out swords,
and to work withal.
238
00:13:02,660 --> 00:13:05,720
A Lancelot in his lady's hall,
239
00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:10,580
A Spartacus at the Hippodrome,
240
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,340
I dally a while with you..
241
00:13:13,380 --> 00:13:14,750
you jackall.
242
00:13:32,810 --> 00:13:34,360
Just as I end the refrain,
243
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,380
thrust home!
244
00:13:51,290 --> 00:13:54,220
Where shall I skewer my peacock again?
245
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,160
Nay, better for you
to have shunned this brawl.
246
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,010
Here in the heart
or your ribbons, gay,
247
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,610
in the belly
'neath you silken shawl?
248
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,130
Now, come my points floats,
light as the foam
249
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,640
ready to drive you
back to the wall,
250
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:20,030
and then as I end the refrain,
251
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,440
thrust home.
252
00:14:21,930 --> 00:14:23,210
Oh, for a rhyme.
253
00:14:23,580 --> 00:14:25,060
Why, your fight is fading.
254
00:14:25,420 --> 00:14:26,040
You break.
255
00:14:26,350 --> 00:14:26,970
You cower.
256
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:27,600
You cringe.
257
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:28,200
You crawl.
258
00:14:29,310 --> 00:14:30,740
How can I tell
you're allowed to say
259
00:14:30,780 --> 00:14:31,750
something to turn on my head
260
00:14:31,790 --> 00:14:32,720
forestall.....
261
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:33,660
Life with a tunny
262
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:34,970
death with a scall.
263
00:14:35,010 --> 00:14:36,760
Something to turn on my fancy roam,
264
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,670
free for a time till the rhyme's recall,
265
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,620
then as I end the refrain,
266
00:14:40,650 --> 00:14:41,620
thrust home!
267
00:14:43,810 --> 00:14:44,670
Refrain.
268
00:14:45,550 --> 00:14:48,960
Prince,
pray God that is Lord of all,
269
00:14:48,990 --> 00:14:50,840
pardon you soul,
270
00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:54,190
for your time has come.
271
00:14:56,860 --> 00:14:58,820
Pass! I fling you aslant, asprawl.
272
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:00,590
Then as I end the refrain,
273
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,680
thrust home!
274
00:15:41,820 --> 00:15:45,390
(shouts of hurray
and congratulation)
275
00:15:47,130 --> 00:15:49,470
Ladies and gentlemen,
please, please,
276
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:50,790
not until the performance is over.
277
00:15:51,070 --> 00:15:51,980
Close the house.
278
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:52,820
A strike,
279
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,340
but leave the lights.
280
00:15:54,380 --> 00:15:56,070
We rehearse the new
farce tonight.
281
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,240
Wait.
282
00:16:04,110 --> 00:16:05,570
You have only to watch a fight,
283
00:16:05,610 --> 00:16:07,530
or have you ruined
if you listen to them.
284
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:11,570
Think of the enemies you've made,
285
00:16:11,610 --> 00:16:14,050
Montfleury, the Vicomte,
if he lives,
286
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,380
all those foppish marquis,
the Comte de Guiche.
287
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:18,970
That politician.
288
00:16:19,010 --> 00:16:21,910
He's the Cardinal's nephew.
There's power there!
289
00:16:21,950 --> 00:16:23,330
And power here.
290
00:16:23,370 --> 00:16:24,680
Young fool!
291
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,540
Take an example from me.
292
00:16:26,570 --> 00:16:29,810
20 years a captain,
while others who know only
293
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,750
how to deploy their
forces at court
294
00:16:31,780 --> 00:16:33,890
now dangle a marshal's baton.
295
00:16:33,930 --> 00:16:37,360
Well, uh, someday
I will avenge you, too.
296
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,530
Impossible.
Come on, let's go to dinner.
297
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,830
Dinner?
No, not I.
298
00:16:41,860 --> 00:16:42,540
Why not?
299
00:16:42,580 --> 00:16:44,530
Because I have no money.
300
00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:46,150
But, the purse of gold.
301
00:16:46,180 --> 00:16:48,140
Farewell paternal pension.
302
00:16:48,180 --> 00:16:51,430
And you have
until the first of next month?
303
00:16:51,470 --> 00:16:52,310
Nothing.
304
00:16:53,140 --> 00:16:54,460
What a fool.
305
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:56,770
Yes, but, what a moment.
306
00:16:56,810 --> 00:16:57,670
- Pardon, Monsieur.
307
00:17:00,010 --> 00:17:01,770
A man ought
never to go hungry.
308
00:17:02,690 --> 00:17:04,150
I have everything here.
309
00:17:05,490 --> 00:17:06,360
Please.
310
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,080
My dear child, I cannot bend this Gascon
pride of mine to accept such a kindness.
311
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:11,820
But, I...
312
00:17:12,910 --> 00:17:15,810
Yet, for fear that
I may give you pain if I refuse,
313
00:17:16,550 --> 00:17:18,190
I will take something.
314
00:17:19,630 --> 00:17:20,660
A grape.
315
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:25,160
One only.
316
00:17:25,820 --> 00:17:27,170
And a glass of water.
317
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,650
No, clear.
318
00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:35,750
And, uh,...half a macaroon.
319
00:17:37,010 --> 00:17:38,100
Nothing more?
320
00:17:39,060 --> 00:17:39,920
Why, yes.
321
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,230
Your hand to kiss.
322
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,510
Thank you, sir.
323
00:18:02,090 --> 00:18:03,100
Good night.
324
00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:10,290
Idiot.
325
00:18:13,170 --> 00:18:13,890
Dinner.
326
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,160
Drink.
327
00:18:18,830 --> 00:18:19,720
Desert.
328
00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:24,670
Mon Dieux, I was hungry,
abominably.
329
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:26,320
Tell me.
330
00:18:26,590 --> 00:18:27,440
Anything.
331
00:18:27,790 --> 00:18:29,920
Why to you hate
this Montfleury?
332
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:32,860
A very bad actor.
333
00:18:32,890 --> 00:18:34,860
Ah, come now, the real
reason, the truth.
334
00:18:36,610 --> 00:18:39,600
That fat goat who cannot hold
his belly in his arms,
335
00:18:39,630 --> 00:18:42,590
still dreams of being
sweetly dangerous among the women.
336
00:18:43,230 --> 00:18:47,610
Sighs and languishes, making sheep's
eyes out of his great frog's face.
337
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:52,750
I hate him ever since one day
he dared smile upon....
338
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,220
Oh, my friend, I seemed to see over
some flower a great snail crawling.
339
00:19:00,090 --> 00:19:01,180
Eh, what?
340
00:19:02,170 --> 00:19:03,340
Is it possible?
341
00:19:04,890 --> 00:19:06,180
For me to love?
342
00:19:08,770 --> 00:19:09,660
I love.
343
00:19:10,370 --> 00:19:12,570
Whom?
May I know?
344
00:19:12,610 --> 00:19:13,620
Whom I love?
345
00:19:15,070 --> 00:19:16,000
Think a moment.
346
00:19:16,210 --> 00:19:17,280
Think of me.
347
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,670
Me, whom the plainest
woman would despise.
348
00:19:21,030 --> 00:19:25,010
Me, with this nose of mine that
marches on before me by a quarter of an hour.
349
00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:28,000
Whom shall I love.
350
00:19:29,890 --> 00:19:34,930
Why, of course, it must be the
woman in the world most beautiful.
351
00:19:35,780 --> 00:19:37,170
Most beautiful?
352
00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:42,920
In these eyes of mine....
beyond compare.
353
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:44,070
Wait.
354
00:19:44,510 --> 00:19:46,440
Your cousin, Roxane.
355
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,300
Yes.
356
00:19:50,170 --> 00:19:51,080
Roxane.
357
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,810
Well?
358
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,020
Why not?
If you love her, tell her so.
359
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,170
My old friend.
360
00:20:01,150 --> 00:20:03,550
Look at me and tell me how
much hope remains for me
361
00:20:03,580 --> 00:20:04,970
with this protuberance.
362
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,360
Ahhh, I have no more illusions.
363
00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:12,140
Now and then I may grow tender
walking alone in the blue of evening
364
00:20:12,170 --> 00:20:16,130
through some garden fresh with flowers
after the benediction of the rain.
365
00:20:16,980 --> 00:20:20,930
My poor big devil of a nose
inhales April.
366
00:20:21,460 --> 00:20:26,950
And I follow with my eyes where
some boy with a girl upon his arm,
367
00:20:27,510 --> 00:20:32,130
passes a patch of silver...
and I feel somehow....
368
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,490
I wish I had a woman, too,
369
00:20:36,670 --> 00:20:41,660
walking with me under the moon,
and holding my arm and smiling.
370
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:44,240
Then I dream.
371
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:46,140
I forget.
372
00:20:49,510 --> 00:20:53,210
And then I see the shadow
of my profile on the wall.
373
00:20:54,750 --> 00:20:56,050
My friend.
374
00:20:57,180 --> 00:20:58,230
My friend.
375
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,370
I have my bitter days,
knowing myself so ugly, so alone.
376
00:21:03,410 --> 00:21:05,260
Ah, but your wit, your courage,
377
00:21:05,540 --> 00:21:08,170
why that poor child who just
now offered you your dinner,
378
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,710
your saw it, her eyes
did not avoid you.
379
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,920
That is true.
380
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,930
Well, then, Roxane herself,
watching your duel, pale.
381
00:21:18,970 --> 00:21:19,480
Pale?
382
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,670
Yes, her lips parted.
Her hand at her breast, thus.
383
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,020
I saw it.
384
00:21:24,260 --> 00:21:27,260
Speak to her. Speak, man.
385
00:21:35,890 --> 00:21:37,550
She might laugh at me.
386
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:42,480
It is the one thing
in this world I fear.
387
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,490
Pardon, Monsieur,
a lady outside asking for you.
388
00:21:48,410 --> 00:21:49,750
Monsieur.
389
00:21:50,340 --> 00:21:51,270
A Duenna.
390
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,530
I have a message for you
from a...a certain lady.
391
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,760
She desires to know when
and where she may see you privately.
392
00:21:57,810 --> 00:22:00,070
She has certain
things to tell you.
393
00:22:00,690 --> 00:22:01,850
Certain...
394
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,010
Things!
395
00:22:04,230 --> 00:22:05,720
She wishes to see me?
396
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,410
We go tomorrow at dawn
to hear mass at St. Rupe
397
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,070
And afterwards, where
would you suggest?
398
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:12,630
Well, then, I...
399
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:15,300
- Where?
- Well?
400
00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:17,070
Ah....I am thinking.
401
00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:18,080
And you think?
402
00:22:19,770 --> 00:22:20,590
Where?
403
00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:22,060
The shop at Ragueneau's.
404
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:24,580
Yes, yes, Ragueneau,
the pastry cook.
405
00:22:24,620 --> 00:22:25,400
Who dwells?
406
00:22:26,650 --> 00:22:27,590
Rue Saint Honore.
407
00:22:27,630 --> 00:22:28,690
Eh...Rue Saint Honore.
408
00:22:28,730 --> 00:22:33,530
We are agreed. At 7 o'clock.
Until then. Adieu.
409
00:22:38,790 --> 00:22:39,940
I'll be there.
410
00:22:41,620 --> 00:22:44,110
Me! To see me!
411
00:22:44,260 --> 00:22:45,830
Ah, not quite so gloomy.
412
00:22:45,870 --> 00:22:47,580
After all, she knows
that I exist.
413
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,060
Imagine, she has
asked to see me!
414
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:52,240
So, now you're
going to be happy?
415
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,350
Happy.
I'm going to be a storm.
A flame!
416
00:22:55,390 --> 00:22:58,430
I need to fight whole
armies all alone!
417
00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,840
I have ten hearts!
418
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,280
I have a hundred arms!.
419
00:23:01,310 --> 00:23:04,450
I feel too strong
to war with mortals!
420
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,150
BRING ME GIANTS!
421
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:11,240
Quiet, please, shhh.
We are rehearsing back here.
422
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,600
So sorry.
Ha, ha, ha.
423
00:23:21,490 --> 00:23:22,280
Cyrano.
424
00:23:22,830 --> 00:23:23,630
Cyrano.
425
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,590
Ragueneau.
426
00:23:26,150 --> 00:23:27,910
Oh, thank goodness
you're still here.
427
00:23:27,950 --> 00:23:29,180
Well, what's the matter.
428
00:23:29,210 --> 00:23:30,410
I'm afraid to go home.
429
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,040
Why?
430
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,050
You know those
comic verses I wrote?
431
00:23:33,090 --> 00:23:34,830
About the congregation.
432
00:23:34,860 --> 00:23:37,260
Cyrano, he's hired ruffians.
Bullies.
433
00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:39,740
A hundred, waiting for
me on the way home.
434
00:23:39,780 --> 00:23:41,620
They're gonna beat me.
Cane me!
435
00:23:41,650 --> 00:23:44,450
Please, would you permit me
to spend the night with you?
436
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,420
A hundred men,
is that all?
437
00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:49,610
Ragueneau, you're
going home tonight.
438
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,630
But they're armed.
They're cutthroats!
439
00:23:51,690 --> 00:23:53,620
Take this lantern.
Forward march.
440
00:23:53,660 --> 00:23:55,760
I say that I'll be the man
to see you to your shop.
441
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,150
Not you, I want no help from you.
442
00:23:57,190 --> 00:23:58,510
For even for a hundred,
you're mad.
443
00:23:58,550 --> 00:23:59,730
Those are the odds I want.
444
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,420
Why for this pastry cook?
445
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,820
First, because this
pastry cook is a friend of mine.
446
00:24:04,930 --> 00:24:07,820
Second, because this
pastry cook is also a poet.
447
00:24:07,950 --> 00:24:09,360
And, most important,
448
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:12,000
if anything should
happen to this pastry cook,
449
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:16,870
tomorrow morning at seven
his shop will be closed.
450
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:19,590
Goodnight.
451
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,060
(a whistle signal)
452
00:25:37,430 --> 00:25:38,480
Cyrano. Help!
453
00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:43,580
Look out behind you!
454
00:26:22,750 --> 00:26:23,810
I have been robbed.
455
00:26:24,370 --> 00:26:26,070
- There are no hundred here.
456
00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:32,360
It's, it's, it's...
457
00:26:33,820 --> 00:26:35,230
Be quick. Inside.
458
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,550
Bolt the door!
459
00:26:48,510 --> 00:26:49,310
Ah!
460
00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:08,660
Yah!
461
00:27:10,460 --> 00:27:12,210
(ruffians shouting)
462
00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:01,010
Ah!
463
00:28:03,860 --> 00:28:04,560
Awk.
464
00:28:05,860 --> 00:28:08,030
(ruffians shouting)
465
00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:17,280
(Le Bret)
- Cyrano!
466
00:28:17,310 --> 00:28:18,320
- Hold!
467
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:34,330
Ah.
468
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,420
How do you feel?
469
00:28:37,460 --> 00:28:39,540
Oh, pleasantly exhilarated.
470
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:42,990
- Come, I know a little tavern not far...
- Where's Ragueneau?
471
00:28:43,310 --> 00:28:46,320
Ragueneau?
Ragueneau!
472
00:28:46,730 --> 00:28:49,510
Little boy, come out.
All's well!
473
00:28:50,330 --> 00:28:51,990
- Is it over?
- All over.
474
00:28:52,220 --> 00:28:53,020
Really?
475
00:28:54,500 --> 00:28:55,340
So soon?
476
00:28:55,370 --> 00:28:56,140
Ha, ha, ha.
477
00:28:56,170 --> 00:28:59,480
Oh, if only I'd had my sword.
How many did we kill?
478
00:28:59,510 --> 00:29:00,330
Oh, about eight.
479
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:00,960
Eight.
480
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,410
Eight!
481
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,420
Ohhhh.
482
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,910
This.....gentleman
begins to annoy me.
483
00:29:31,980 --> 00:29:33,630
(Ragueneau is a poet, too.)
484
00:29:35,060 --> 00:29:40,010
No. The sauce and meat must rhyme.
Add a pinch of marigold and thyme.
485
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,960
Your house, of course, needs a stronger roof.
Eh? There's proof.
486
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:45,830
Cyrano.
487
00:29:46,830 --> 00:29:47,500
Cyrano.
488
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,100
Come in and eat.
489
00:29:49,130 --> 00:29:51,110
- What time is it?
- Not quite seven.
490
00:29:51,130 --> 00:29:54,140
Oh, now, please, Cyrano.
A man without breakfast is like...
491
00:29:54,180 --> 00:29:56,720
No.
Could she have changed her mind?
492
00:29:56,750 --> 00:29:57,920
Aw, she wouldn't dare.
493
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,900
We were magnificent last night.
494
00:30:00,370 --> 00:30:01,830
And at the theater, too.
495
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,320
'Then, as I end the refrain'....
496
00:30:04,350 --> 00:30:07,390
When she arrives.
Where can we converse undisturbed?
497
00:30:07,420 --> 00:30:09,190
Wherever you like.
My shop is yours.
498
00:30:09,310 --> 00:30:11,900
The little dining room
is quite romantic.
499
00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:14,490
'Thrust home!'
Yea gods, what a line.
500
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,650
- 'Then as I end the re....'
- Vanish.
501
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:18,110
- Uh, huh, she's come?
- Shhhh.
502
00:30:18,140 --> 00:30:18,920
I swear.
503
00:30:27,340 --> 00:30:28,170
Welcome.
504
00:30:38,470 --> 00:30:40,510
- A pardon, one word.
- Oh, yes?
505
00:30:40,550 --> 00:30:41,520
Have you a good digestion?
506
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,430
Oh, wonderful.
507
00:30:43,290 --> 00:30:48,800
Eh, here are some éclairs.
Uh, creampuffs.
508
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,160
Some, uh, jellyrolls.
And do you like nature?
509
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,400
I adore it.
510
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,760
Go out and eat these in the sunshine.
Do not return.
511
00:30:56,790 --> 00:30:57,440
But why?
512
00:30:57,470 --> 00:30:58,910
Until you have finished them.
513
00:30:58,940 --> 00:31:00,340
(outside)
- What do I do then?
514
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,750
(door closes)
515
00:31:09,970 --> 00:31:13,000
Blessed above all others be the hour
when you remember to remember me,
516
00:31:13,230 --> 00:31:15,800
and came to tell me......what?
517
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,750
To tell you that....
518
00:31:19,060 --> 00:31:21,810
Before I dare tell you I....
519
00:31:22,020 --> 00:31:24,850
Are you, I wonder, still
the same big brother almost
520
00:31:24,890 --> 00:31:26,720
that you used to be
when we were children,
521
00:31:26,750 --> 00:31:29,570
playing by the pond
in the old garden down there?
522
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,570
At Bergerac.
Those lovely summers.
523
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,700
You use to make swords
out of bulrushes.
524
00:31:33,740 --> 00:31:35,810
And you, dandelions
also golden hair.
525
00:31:35,890 --> 00:31:37,930
In those days
I could tell you everything.
526
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,860
And you did
everything I wished.
527
00:31:40,060 --> 00:31:44,830
Little Roxane, a sweet tyrone
with short skirts and long hair.
528
00:31:44,860 --> 00:31:45,780
Was I pretty?
529
00:31:49,830 --> 00:31:51,270
Not too plain.
530
00:31:52,150 --> 00:31:54,490
Sometimes when you had fallen
or hurt your hand,
531
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,670
you used to come running to me,
and I would be your mother and say,
532
00:31:57,710 --> 00:32:02,770
oh, with a very grownup voice,
'Now, what have you been doing to yourself?'
533
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,300
'Let me see.'
534
00:32:05,890 --> 00:32:07,060
- Oh!
- No one that.
535
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:08,230
Wait, let me see.
536
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,540
Still. At your age?
537
00:32:12,010 --> 00:32:13,810
Now, how did you do that?
538
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,910
Playing with the big boys
at the Place de Neanne.
539
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:18,410
Come here.
540
00:32:19,330 --> 00:32:21,020
Such a wise little mother.
541
00:32:21,030 --> 00:32:24,740
And tell me, while I wash this
blood away, how many you played with?
542
00:32:24,770 --> 00:32:26,840
- Oh, about a hundred.
- A hundred?
543
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,950
- More or less.
- It can't be.
544
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:31,080
No.
545
00:32:31,670 --> 00:32:33,720
Tell me what you were
going to tell me.....
546
00:32:34,130 --> 00:32:35,320
if you dared.
547
00:32:36,190 --> 00:32:38,060
I think I do dare, now.
548
00:32:38,860 --> 00:32:41,450
It seems so like
those happy days long ago.
549
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,780
Yes, I dare.
550
00:32:44,350 --> 00:32:47,190
Listen....I love someone.
551
00:32:47,850 --> 00:32:48,440
Yes?
552
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,150
Someone who does not know.
553
00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:51,340
Yes?
554
00:32:51,450 --> 00:32:54,970
Someone who loves me, too,
but is afraid of me and keeps away
555
00:32:55,010 --> 00:32:56,340
and never says one word.
556
00:32:57,570 --> 00:32:58,270
(softly)
Yes.
557
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,210
Give my that hand.
558
00:33:01,870 --> 00:33:03,080
Why, how hot it is.
559
00:33:04,390 --> 00:33:06,390
Yes, he loves me.
I am sure of it.
560
00:33:06,740 --> 00:33:07,530
(softly)
Yes.
561
00:33:08,110 --> 00:33:10,730
And he is a soldier, too,
in your own regiment,
562
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,710
your own company.
563
00:33:11,740 --> 00:33:12,750
(loud)
Yes.
564
00:33:13,340 --> 00:33:14,480
Such a man.
565
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,280
He is proud, noble, young, brave,
566
00:33:18,610 --> 00:33:19,700
beautiful!
567
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:22,550
(softly)
Beautiful.
568
00:33:25,180 --> 00:33:26,040
What's the matter?
569
00:33:26,460 --> 00:33:27,160
Oh, nothing.
570
00:33:28,110 --> 00:33:30,210
It's this, my hand.
571
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,280
I love him.
That is all.
572
00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:38,230
And I have never seen him
anywhere except in the theater.
573
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,710
You have never spoken?
574
00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:42,790
Only with our hearts.
575
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,080
Well, then, how do you know?
576
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:50,270
Well, people talk about people,
and I hear things, and...
577
00:33:51,370 --> 00:33:52,700
and I know.
578
00:33:53,890 --> 00:33:55,540
(firmly)
You say he is in the guards?
579
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,530
His name?
580
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,270
Baron Christian de Neuvillette.
581
00:34:02,790 --> 00:34:03,910
You know him?
582
00:34:04,290 --> 00:34:05,650
He is not in the guards.
583
00:34:05,690 --> 00:34:07,020
Yes, since last week.
584
00:34:07,770 --> 00:34:09,550
He is only lately
come to Paris...
585
00:34:09,730 --> 00:34:11,140
from Normandy.
586
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,070
So soon.
So soon we lose our hearts.
587
00:34:15,570 --> 00:34:16,160
What...
(door opens)
588
00:34:16,190 --> 00:34:17,220
(Duenna)
- Monsieur de Bergerac
589
00:34:17,250 --> 00:34:18,850
- I have eaten all the cakes.
590
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,280
Good.
Now, go out and enjoy nature.
591
00:34:23,020 --> 00:34:26,110
But my dear child, you love
only words, wit, poetry.
592
00:34:26,150 --> 00:34:29,950
Why, for all you know,
the man may be a savage or a fool.
593
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:34,290
Not with such eyes.
I read his soul in them.
594
00:34:35,270 --> 00:34:38,360
Yes, all our souls are
written in our eyes.
595
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,720
And you have brought
me here to tell me this?
596
00:34:42,980 --> 00:34:45,890
I do not yet quite understand,
madam, the reason for your confidence.
597
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:52,640
They say, that in your company,
it frightens me, you are all Gascon.
598
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,850
We pick a quarrel with any outsider
who intrudes himself.
599
00:34:54,890 --> 00:34:56,250
Is that what you have heard?
600
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,150
- I'm so afraid for him.
- Not without reason.
601
00:34:59,190 --> 00:35:03,730
And I thought you...
it's you whom they all respect and fear.
602
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,590
You want me to defend
your little Baron?
603
00:35:08,630 --> 00:35:09,740
Will you?
604
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:11,670
Just for me.
605
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,440
Because I have always
been your friend.
606
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,790
And this is what
you want of me?
607
00:35:16,820 --> 00:35:18,430
Will you be his friend?
608
00:35:20,450 --> 00:35:22,200
I will be his friend.
609
00:35:22,230 --> 00:35:23,040
And never let him
fight a duel.
610
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,060
No, never.
611
00:35:24,090 --> 00:35:24,750
Promise?
612
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:26,980
I promise.
613
00:35:27,420 --> 00:35:30,860
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
I knew I could rely on you.
614
00:35:33,930 --> 00:35:35,410
Well, now I must go.
615
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,480
Oh, you never told
me about last night.
616
00:35:43,970 --> 00:35:45,790
Why, you must
have been a hero.
617
00:35:45,820 --> 00:35:50,240
Have write and tell me all about it,
and...about himself.
618
00:35:51,420 --> 00:35:54,330
Oh, you are a darling.
We are great friends, are we not?
619
00:35:54,860 --> 00:35:56,330
He must write to me.
620
00:35:58,390 --> 00:36:01,490
A hundred men against one.
You shall tell me the whole story
621
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:02,980
someday when we have time.
622
00:36:06,570 --> 00:36:10,170
A hundred men.
What courage!
623
00:36:14,030 --> 00:36:16,810
I have done better.
624
00:36:21,820 --> 00:36:22,450
Well?
625
00:36:24,890 --> 00:36:26,050
Let us leave this place.
626
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,620
But the whole company
is on its way here.
627
00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:28,330
Oh, no.
628
00:36:28,370 --> 00:36:30,870
On my heels. Naturally I told
them all about last night.
629
00:36:30,900 --> 00:36:31,880
They're wild.
630
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:32,830
Here they are.
631
00:36:32,860 --> 00:36:35,420
- Yes, but, why did you?
- Perhaps I can stop them.
632
00:36:36,210 --> 00:36:36,870
Never mind.
633
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,220
Cyrano!
634
00:36:39,260 --> 00:36:46,070
(greetings and cheers to Cyrano)
635
00:36:49,130 --> 00:36:51,570
Eight dead men in the street.
Scandalous.
636
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,010
You know my edict
against dueling, nephew.
637
00:36:54,050 --> 00:36:55,580
I expect to have it enforced.
638
00:36:55,610 --> 00:36:58,940
Furthermore, I wish to know
who was responsible for last night's
639
00:36:58,970 --> 00:37:00,410
outrage at the Place de Neanne.
640
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:01,840
I understand, Your Eminence.
641
00:37:02,050 --> 00:37:04,180
Very well.
And now I have news
642
00:37:04,210 --> 00:37:06,310
that should be more
to you liking.
643
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:13,410
I fear, in confidence, our
uneasy armistice with Spain is doomed.
644
00:37:13,450 --> 00:37:14,410
My colonelcy?
645
00:37:14,450 --> 00:37:16,670
You commission has been prepared.
646
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:18,890
Oh, thank you, uncle, thank you.
647
00:37:19,230 --> 00:37:20,630
Oh, one thing more.
648
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,600
Last night at the theater,
the duel in rhyme,
649
00:37:24,790 --> 00:37:26,970
that guardsman with a nose.
650
00:37:27,010 --> 00:37:30,240
- Bergerac, that impossible Gascon.
- Yes, impossible.
651
00:37:30,260 --> 00:37:32,300
- His treatment of Montfleury.
- Abominable.
652
00:37:32,330 --> 00:37:35,230
- The arrogance with which he closed the play.
- Incredible.
653
00:37:35,260 --> 00:37:38,130
- It will be a miracle if the Vicomte survives.
- A sorrow.
654
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,720
What will you do
with him, Your Eminence?
655
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,100
I? Nothing.
656
00:37:41,140 --> 00:37:43,290
I thought I might
leave that to you.
657
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,500
To me?
658
00:37:44,530 --> 00:37:48,270
Yes. Place him somewhere
in your service,
659
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:49,890
with a comfortable allowance.
660
00:37:49,930 --> 00:37:51,390
He looked a little threadbare.
661
00:37:51,430 --> 00:37:55,020
I...You...But, Your Eminence.
You detest dueling.
662
00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:55,960
Of course I do.
663
00:37:56,350 --> 00:37:58,070
Why didn't you prevent it?
664
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,350
I should much prefer
that monsieur de Beregrac
665
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,300
live by the pen,
rather than die by the sword.
666
00:38:06,590 --> 00:38:08,470
Do you not agree, Antoine?
667
00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:12,560
By all means, Your Eminence.
By all means.
668
00:38:14,830 --> 00:38:21,650
'And then, as I end the refrain...
thrust home.'
669
00:38:24,790 --> 00:38:28,740
(Carousing at Ragueneau's)
670
00:38:33,220 --> 00:38:39,860
(noisy celebration of Cyrano's
defeat of 'a hundred' ruffians)
671
00:38:44,210 --> 00:38:46,580
(Antoine Comte de Guiche enters)
672
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:48,620
Monsieur de Bergerac.
673
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,390
Your Excellency.
674
00:38:51,970 --> 00:38:54,750
I have come to express my....
675
00:38:54,790 --> 00:38:58,550
admiration for both
your exploits last night.
676
00:38:58,590 --> 00:39:01,290
Indeed. Thank you.
677
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,900
My dear fellow,
we may have had our differences,
678
00:39:04,930 --> 00:39:07,550
but I am disposed
to forget them.
679
00:39:07,570 --> 00:39:09,710
That is very generous
of you, sir.
680
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:10,560
No, truly.
681
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,970
You are, it seems, a man
of many skills.
682
00:39:14,010 --> 00:39:17,350
A rare combination
soldier and poet.
683
00:39:18,060 --> 00:39:21,750
- Would you care to join my following?
- No, sir.
684
00:39:21,790 --> 00:39:23,260
I do not follow.
685
00:39:23,770 --> 00:39:25,980
I am told you have
written a play.
686
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,510
As you know, my uncle,
the Cardinal, is also a dramatist.
687
00:39:29,540 --> 00:39:30,990
I might help you there.
688
00:39:31,150 --> 00:39:34,050
Cyrano, now at last
you can have it performed.
689
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,200
Why not?
690
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:36,620
I could take it to him.
691
00:39:37,860 --> 00:39:39,330
Really?
692
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,460
Of course.
Let him rewrite a few lines
693
00:39:41,490 --> 00:39:43,770
here and there, and
he'll find a theater for you.
694
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,230
Rewrite...my lines?
695
00:39:47,670 --> 00:39:49,150
Impossible.
696
00:39:49,190 --> 00:39:52,040
Uh, when he likes a thing,
he pays well.
697
00:39:52,070 --> 00:39:53,240
Yes, but not so well as I.
698
00:39:53,270 --> 00:39:55,460
When I have made a line
that sings itself
699
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:57,220
I pay myself a hundred times.
700
00:39:57,250 --> 00:39:58,940
You are proud, my friend.
701
00:39:58,970 --> 00:40:00,020
You have observed that?
702
00:40:00,060 --> 00:40:02,460
- Cyrano.
See what we found in the street.
703
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:05,140
Plumes dropped in their flight
by those fine birds
704
00:40:05,170 --> 00:40:06,860
who showed their
tail feathers!
705
00:40:06,890 --> 00:40:08,590
(laughter)
706
00:40:08,620 --> 00:40:10,180
The man who hired
those scoundrels,
707
00:40:10,210 --> 00:40:12,010
he must be an
angry man today.
708
00:40:12,050 --> 00:40:13,430
Who was it?
Do you know?
709
00:40:13,850 --> 00:40:14,790
It was I.
710
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,870
I hired them to do the sort
of work we do not soil our hands with.
711
00:40:20,660 --> 00:40:22,940
Punishing an insolent poet.
712
00:40:22,970 --> 00:40:25,610
They ought to be mounted
before they spoil.
713
00:40:25,650 --> 00:40:27,850
(laughter)
What shall we do with them?
714
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:36,460
Sir, will you not return these
to your friends?
715
00:40:40,310 --> 00:40:42,190
Have you read Don Quixote?
716
00:40:42,230 --> 00:40:44,650
I have and found
myself the hero.
717
00:40:44,690 --> 00:40:47,770
Be so good as to read once more
the capture of the windmills.
718
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,010
Chapter 13.
719
00:40:50,150 --> 00:40:52,200
Windmills, remember,
if you fight with them...
720
00:40:52,230 --> 00:40:56,590
may swing round their huge arms
and cast you down into the mire.
721
00:40:56,630 --> 00:40:59,010
Or up among the stars.
722
00:41:01,250 --> 00:41:01,970
Gentlemen.
723
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:03,320
Gentlemen.
724
00:41:03,570 --> 00:41:04,550
Gentlemen.
725
00:41:05,220 --> 00:41:06,610
You've done it, now.
726
00:41:06,650 --> 00:41:07,860
You've made your fortune.
727
00:41:07,890 --> 00:41:09,070
He was willing to forget.
728
00:41:09,490 --> 00:41:11,180
There you go again, growling.
729
00:41:11,210 --> 00:41:13,460
Yesss,
this latest pose of yours,
730
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:16,070
ruining every opportunity
that comes you way,
731
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:17,100
becomes exaggerated.
732
00:41:17,140 --> 00:41:18,250
Very well, then, I exaggerate.
733
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:19,710
There are certain things
in this world
734
00:41:19,740 --> 00:41:21,100
a man does well
to carry to extremes.
735
00:41:21,140 --> 00:41:23,710
Your precious independence.
Your white plume.
736
00:41:23,740 --> 00:41:25,410
How do you expect
to succeed in life?
737
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,400
What would you have me do?
738
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,590
Seek for the patronage
of some great man
739
00:41:28,630 --> 00:41:31,880
and like a creeping vine
on a tall tree crawl upward
740
00:41:31,910 --> 00:41:33,520
where I cannot stand alone?
741
00:41:33,940 --> 00:41:34,850
No, thank you.
742
00:41:35,210 --> 00:41:39,880
Be a buffoon in the vile hope
of teasing out a smile on some cold face.
743
00:41:40,340 --> 00:41:41,710
No, thank you.
744
00:41:42,050 --> 00:41:44,260
Eat a toad for breakfast
every morning.
745
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:47,530
Make my knees calloused.
Cultivate a supple spine.
746
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,320
Wear out my belly
groveling in the dust.
747
00:41:49,590 --> 00:41:50,400
No, thank you.
748
00:41:50,860 --> 00:41:54,880
With my left hand scratch the back
of any swine that roots up gold for me
749
00:41:54,910 --> 00:41:58,910
while my right, too proud to know
his partner's business, takes in the fee.
750
00:41:58,940 --> 00:41:59,920
No, thank you.
751
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,810
Shall I use the fire God gave me
to burn incense all day long?
752
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,020
No, thank you.
753
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,410
Struggle to insinuate my name
into the columns of the Gazette?
754
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:13,250
Calculate, scheme, be afraid?
Love more to make a visit than a poem?
755
00:42:13,290 --> 00:42:15,990
Seek introductions, favors,
influences?
756
00:42:16,020 --> 00:42:17,050
No, thank you.
757
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,270
No, I thank you, and
again I thank you.
758
00:42:23,930 --> 00:42:30,320
But, to sing, to laugh, to dream,
to walk in my own way,
759
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,510
free with and eye
to see things as they are.
760
00:42:33,380 --> 00:42:35,240
A voice that means manhood.
761
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,640
To cut my have
the right shoes.
762
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:46,150
And a word, a yes, a no,
to fight, or write,
763
00:42:46,830 --> 00:42:48,440
but never to make
a line I have not heard
764
00:42:48,470 --> 00:42:49,780
in my own heart.
765
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,380
To travel any
road under the sun,
766
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,780
under the stars,
767
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,520
nor care if fame or fortune
lie beyond the bourne.
768
00:43:00,370 --> 00:43:02,250
Yet, with all modesty to say,
769
00:43:03,250 --> 00:43:05,830
my soul be satisfied
with flowers,
770
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:08,000
with weeds,
771
00:43:09,210 --> 00:43:10,840
with thorns, even,
772
00:43:11,910 --> 00:43:14,940
but gather them in the one garden
you may call your own.
773
00:43:16,230 --> 00:43:18,450
In a word, I'm too proud
to be a parasite.
774
00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:21,470
And if mine intellect the germ
that grows towering to heaven
775
00:43:21,500 --> 00:43:22,770
like the mountain pine
776
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,570
I stand not high, it may be,
777
00:43:27,260 --> 00:43:28,460
but alone.
778
00:43:28,500 --> 00:43:31,170
Alone, yes, but why
go about making enemies?
779
00:43:32,100 --> 00:43:35,850
Watching other people
making friends...everywhere,
780
00:43:35,890 --> 00:43:37,980
as a dog makes friends.
781
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,550
I mark the manner of
these canine courtesies,
782
00:43:41,580 --> 00:43:46,770
and think, here comes,
thank heaven, another enemy.
783
00:43:46,810 --> 00:43:52,760
Yes, tell this to all the world,
and then to me say very softly
784
00:43:52,790 --> 00:43:55,540
that she loves you not.
785
00:43:58,830 --> 00:44:00,940
Let me be alone
for a moment.
786
00:44:03,990 --> 00:44:05,050
Cyrano, wait.
787
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,760
Give us your story
of the fight.
788
00:44:07,530 --> 00:44:08,400
Presently.
789
00:44:08,430 --> 00:44:10,010
No, the story, now!
790
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,970
Oh, let him alone.
There's time enough.
791
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,360
I want it now!
792
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,090
As an example for that young
tadpole sneaking out the doorway.
793
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,040
You, there.
794
00:44:25,310 --> 00:44:26,820
Are you addressing me?
795
00:44:28,190 --> 00:44:32,770
Yes, you flat-footed
Norman farmer.
796
00:44:36,190 --> 00:44:37,470
You wish something of me?
797
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:39,950
Listen, Monsieur de...de...de
whatever your name is.
798
00:44:39,980 --> 00:44:40,920
de Neuvillette!
799
00:44:41,090 --> 00:44:43,230
Baron Christan de Neuvillette.
800
00:44:43,270 --> 00:44:45,370
Very well, de Neuvillette.
801
00:44:45,670 --> 00:44:48,080
As you are a newcomer here,
you should know there is a
802
00:44:48,110 --> 00:44:52,300
certain subject or object, if you prefer,
that is never mentioned among us.
803
00:44:52,340 --> 00:44:53,340
And that is....?
804
00:44:53,370 --> 00:44:54,500
Look at me!
805
00:44:54,540 --> 00:44:55,980
(touching his nose)
806
00:44:56,020 --> 00:44:57,360
You understand?
807
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:58,670
You mean....?
808
00:44:58,700 --> 00:45:01,090
Thus we never speak that word.
809
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,390
To even breathe it is
to have to do with him.
810
00:45:04,420 --> 00:45:08,760
He has exterminated several
whose mere tone of voice suggested...
811
00:45:08,790 --> 00:45:12,920
Would you die before your time?
Just mention anything convex.
812
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,530
Or cartilaginous.
813
00:45:14,570 --> 00:45:18,540
One word. One syllable.
One gesture. Nay, one sneeze.
814
00:45:18,570 --> 00:45:21,330
And your handkerchief
becomes your winding sheet.
815
00:45:24,110 --> 00:45:24,920
Captain.
816
00:45:25,430 --> 00:45:26,290
Sir?
817
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:30,090
What is the proper thing to do
when Gascons grow too boastful?
818
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,820
Prove to them that one may
be a Norman and still have courage.
819
00:45:33,850 --> 00:45:35,100
I thank you.
820
00:45:41,330 --> 00:45:43,360
Come on, Cyrano, your story.
821
00:45:44,420 --> 00:45:47,330
(shouts of encouragement)
822
00:45:47,740 --> 00:45:49,540
Now, let me see.
Where shall we begin?
823
00:45:50,450 --> 00:45:52,510
I followed with our host
to meet those scoundrels
824
00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:53,640
not knowing where
they might attack.
825
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,340
No lamps in those narrow
back streets.
826
00:45:57,500 --> 00:45:58,600
No moon in the sky.
827
00:45:59,340 --> 00:46:01,220
Dark. Everything dark.
828
00:46:01,430 --> 00:46:04,040
It was so dark, Mon Dieux,
you could not see beyond...
829
00:46:04,070 --> 00:46:05,470
Your nose!
830
00:46:05,850 --> 00:46:08,480
(Christian shows his courage.)
831
00:46:25,250 --> 00:46:33,250
Who...is that...man...there?
832
00:46:34,260 --> 00:46:35,380
- A new recruit.
833
00:46:36,070 --> 00:46:37,550
- Arrived last week.
834
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,080
A recruit, eh?
835
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:41,940
Ha, ha---.
836
00:46:41,970 --> 00:46:45,320
His name is Christian de Neuvillette.
837
00:46:45,350 --> 00:46:48,660
(Cyrano remembers his
promise to Roxane.)
838
00:46:58,510 --> 00:46:59,570
I see.
839
00:47:02,670 --> 00:47:03,510
Very well.
840
00:47:04,850 --> 00:47:06,470
As I was saying.
841
00:47:10,830 --> 00:47:11,930
It grew dark.
842
00:47:12,460 --> 00:47:15,180
You could not see
your hand before your eyes.
843
00:47:16,310 --> 00:47:19,470
I marched on thinking our all for
the sake of one amateur poet
844
00:47:19,510 --> 00:47:22,660
- who wrote a verse whenever he took a..
- A nose full.
845
00:47:24,370 --> 00:47:25,770
...whenever he took a notion.,
846
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,600
and might antagonize
some dangerous man.
847
00:47:28,630 --> 00:47:30,830
One powerful enough
to make me pay...
848
00:47:30,860 --> 00:47:31,980
Through the nose!
849
00:47:32,010 --> 00:47:33,090
...pay the piper!
850
00:47:33,410 --> 00:47:35,430
After all, I thought,
why am I putting in my..
851
00:47:35,470 --> 00:47:36,310
- Nose!
852
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:39,170
...putting in my oar in a quarrel
that was none of mine,
853
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,240
however now that I am here,
I may as well go through with it.
854
00:47:41,270 --> 00:47:42,840
Come Gascon, do your duty.
855
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,850
Suddenly a sword
flashed in the dark!
856
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:45,810
I caught it fair...
857
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:46,810
On the nose!
858
00:47:47,940 --> 00:47:49,130
...on my blade!
859
00:47:49,170 --> 00:47:50,530
Before I knew it,
there I was...
860
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:51,690
Rubbing noses!
861
00:47:51,730 --> 00:47:53,840
...crossing swords with
harvard's joy once.
862
00:47:53,870 --> 00:47:54,940
I had the bottom then...
863
00:47:54,980 --> 00:47:55,900
A nosegay!
864
00:47:55,940 --> 00:47:57,160
...a monstrous crab tree.
865
00:47:57,610 --> 00:48:00,170
(breathing heavily)
He went down for as a wave.
866
00:48:00,380 --> 00:48:00,990
I charged...
867
00:48:01,030 --> 00:48:02,590
Who was in the air hard.
868
00:48:02,620 --> 00:48:03,450
...at the two of them.
869
00:48:04,750 --> 00:48:05,900
Another lunged,
and I parried...
870
00:48:05,940 --> 00:48:07,220
Through your nose!
871
00:48:07,250 --> 00:48:09,310
Right out of here!
All of you go!
872
00:48:09,340 --> 00:48:10,120
Leave me with him.
873
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,660
To my arms, sir.
You have courage.
874
00:48:28,690 --> 00:48:29,880
- That pleases me.
- Why?
875
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,820
Come, do you not know
I am her brother?
876
00:48:31,850 --> 00:48:32,460
Whose?
877
00:48:32,500 --> 00:48:34,250
Hers. Roxane.
878
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:38,390
Brother?
879
00:48:39,260 --> 00:48:40,170
You?
880
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,150
Well, a distant cousin.
Much the same.
881
00:48:42,510 --> 00:48:44,450
- Then she has told you?
- Everything.
882
00:48:44,580 --> 00:48:46,680
- She loves me?
- Perhaps.
883
00:48:47,610 --> 00:48:49,950
My dear sir, more than I can say.
I am honored.
884
00:48:49,990 --> 00:48:52,040
- Rather sudden.
- Oh, please, forgive me.
885
00:48:52,260 --> 00:48:54,270
If you knew how
much I have admired you.
886
00:48:54,310 --> 00:48:57,620
- Yes, yes, and all those noses.
- Please. I apologize.
887
00:48:59,060 --> 00:49:00,680
Roxane expects a letter.
888
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:02,300
- From me?
- Yes, why not?
889
00:49:02,340 --> 00:49:03,180
Oh,, No.
890
00:49:03,530 --> 00:49:05,880
- Once I write, that ruins everything.
- Why?
891
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,020
Because, any schoolboy can write
to her more gracefully than I.
892
00:49:09,590 --> 00:49:10,730
A fool!
893
00:49:10,900 --> 00:49:14,560
- You did not attack me like a fool.
- Anyone can pick a quarrel.
894
00:49:14,740 --> 00:49:16,580
No, I'm never at loss
for words among men,
895
00:49:16,610 --> 00:49:21,260
but with any women...
paralyzed...speechless, dumb.
896
00:49:21,460 --> 00:49:23,600
I'm one of those
stammering idiots
897
00:49:23,630 --> 00:49:25,270
who can not court a woman.
898
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:26,170
Really?
899
00:49:26,810 --> 00:49:28,700
As for myself,
it seems to me that
900
00:49:28,730 --> 00:49:32,300
given the opportunity,
and if I put my mind to it,
901
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,390
I could do that..
rather well.
902
00:49:35,420 --> 00:49:37,870
Oh, is I had words to say
what I have here!
903
00:49:37,900 --> 00:49:39,450
If I were handsome
like you.
904
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,780
Together, we could make
one mighty hero of romance.
905
00:49:43,820 --> 00:49:45,330
If only I had your wit.
906
00:49:50,570 --> 00:49:51,710
Borrow it, then.
907
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:53,150
What?
908
00:49:54,670 --> 00:49:55,490
Tell me,
909
00:49:56,910 --> 00:49:59,770
would you dare repeat to her
the words I gave you day by day?
910
00:50:00,330 --> 00:50:02,420
Send to her
the letters that I write?
911
00:50:02,460 --> 00:50:04,800
I mean, that Roxane
should have no disillusionment.
912
00:50:05,180 --> 00:50:06,820
Come, shall we win her
both together?
913
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:07,800
For you?
914
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,970
- Why, Cyrano...
- Christian, why not?
915
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,850
I...I'm afraid.
916
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,030
Afraid that when you
have her all alone, you will lose her.
917
00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:16,420
Have not fear,
it is your self she loves.
918
00:50:16,450 --> 00:50:17,920
Give her yourself.
919
00:50:17,950 --> 00:50:23,670
Put into words,
my words...upon your lips.
920
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:25,180
Will you?
921
00:50:26,780 --> 00:50:28,030
Will you?
922
00:50:28,910 --> 00:50:30,740
Does it mean
so much to you?
923
00:50:30,770 --> 00:50:32,360
It means....
924
00:50:34,110 --> 00:50:37,060
It means a comedy,
a situation for a poet.
925
00:50:37,190 --> 00:50:38,350
Come, shall we collaborate?
926
00:50:38,390 --> 00:50:42,420
I'll be your cloak of darkness,
your enchanted sword,
927
00:50:42,460 --> 00:50:45,330
your ring to charm
the fairy princess.
928
00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:49,180
Think!
Is the prize not worth the danger?
929
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:52,980
My friend!
930
00:50:54,620 --> 00:50:55,740
My friend.
931
00:50:56,890 --> 00:51:00,100
Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
932
00:51:00,350 --> 00:51:03,650
Plucking the flowers,
we will keep the plant in bloom.
933
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,010
Thus do I love thee,
my darling.
934
00:51:08,890 --> 00:51:09,670
Idiot.
935
00:51:09,910 --> 00:51:12,200
There are a dozen
ways to read that line.
936
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:14,500
Can't you give it some meaning?
Any meaning!
937
00:51:14,530 --> 00:51:15,950
THUS do I love thee!
938
00:51:15,980 --> 00:51:17,280
Thus do "I" love thee.
939
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:18,550
Thus do I LOVE thee.
940
00:51:18,580 --> 00:51:20,930
Thus do I love THEE,
THEE, THEE.
941
00:51:22,580 --> 00:51:25,680
Who knows your smile
has known a perfect thing.
942
00:51:25,710 --> 00:51:28,400
You are a white rose,
wherein love lies in ambush
943
00:51:28,430 --> 00:51:30,180
for its natural prey.
944
00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:33,760
In the garden of my heart,
you are the most...
945
00:51:33,930 --> 00:51:35,680
eh, the most....
946
00:51:37,450 --> 00:51:39,750
fragrant blossom.
947
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,780
As the tender sapling
thirsts for rain,
948
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,900
as the eagle seeks the sky,
949
00:51:48,030 --> 00:51:51,050
as the wave
hurtles toward the shore,
950
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,990
my heart yearns for you.
951
00:51:54,460 --> 00:51:55,820
Good, good.
952
00:51:55,970 --> 00:51:58,740
You know, you're beginning
to have a feel for words.
953
00:51:58,770 --> 00:52:02,010
- Words. I'm sick of words.
- Those are your weapons.
954
00:52:02,050 --> 00:52:03,190
How else do you conquer?
955
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,130
Yes, but when, when?
956
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,190
They're fighting in the north, now.
You know that.
957
00:52:06,230 --> 00:52:07,690
The Regiment will be
called up any day,
958
00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:08,840
and I've never
even kissed her.
959
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,940
Patience, my boy, patience.
960
00:52:11,980 --> 00:52:13,110
I've been patient.
961
00:52:13,140 --> 00:52:16,280
Why, she sees the Compte de Guiche
as often as she does me.
962
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,120
Do you suppose
she's playing with me?
963
00:52:21,260 --> 00:52:22,500
Making a fool of me?
964
00:52:23,850 --> 00:52:24,880
Impossible.
965
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,210
How can you say?
How do you know?
966
00:52:27,210 --> 00:52:31,390
Cyrano, you have her confidence.
You could find out.
967
00:52:39,300 --> 00:52:40,690
Nonsense, I say.
968
00:52:42,260 --> 00:52:43,440
Oh, very well.
969
00:52:43,870 --> 00:52:45,190
I'll scout the terrain.
970
00:52:45,230 --> 00:52:47,200
Listen, Cyrano,
intelligently, discreetly.
971
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:48,160
Yes.
972
00:52:48,190 --> 00:52:49,340
With finesse.
973
00:52:52,010 --> 00:52:55,510
And, uh, what do you think
of Christian after all these weeks?
974
00:52:55,620 --> 00:52:58,030
He is beautiful,
but he's brilliant.
975
00:52:58,070 --> 00:52:59,760
- And I love him.
- Good!
976
00:52:59,870 --> 00:53:01,750
Uh, do you find him intellectual?
977
00:53:01,790 --> 00:53:03,600
- More so than you, even.
- Huh?
978
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,470
- Oh, I didn't mean.
- No, no, no, I am glad.
979
00:53:06,500 --> 00:53:09,290
No man ever so beautifully
said those things.
980
00:53:09,330 --> 00:53:11,900
Those pretty nothings
to everything.
981
00:53:12,310 --> 00:53:15,780
Sometimes, he,. he, he falls
into a reverie.
982
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,110
His inspiration..fails.
983
00:53:20,050 --> 00:53:23,940
But, then all at once,
he will say something absolutely...
984
00:53:23,980 --> 00:53:25,370
Ah!
985
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:26,760
Really?
986
00:53:27,470 --> 00:53:28,910
How like a man!
987
00:53:28,940 --> 00:53:32,220
You think because a man
has a handsome face he must be a fool.
988
00:53:33,330 --> 00:53:34,790
Not necessarily.
989
00:53:34,830 --> 00:53:38,410
Uh, he talks well about, uh,
matters of the heart?
990
00:53:38,450 --> 00:53:42,420
He does not talk.
He rhapsodizes. He dreams.
991
00:53:42,460 --> 00:53:46,360
Only the other night he said to me,
extemporaneously, mind you.
992
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:47,220
Oh, of course.
993
00:53:47,980 --> 00:53:50,660
'Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
994
00:53:50,700 --> 00:53:54,760
'Plucking the flowers
we will keep the plants in bloom.'
995
00:53:55,720 --> 00:53:56,730
Well?
996
00:53:56,770 --> 00:53:58,530
Umm, passable.
997
00:53:58,950 --> 00:54:00,010
He writes well?
998
00:54:00,050 --> 00:54:02,080
Wonderfully, listen:
999
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,510
'Knowing you have in store
more heart to give
1000
00:54:05,550 --> 00:54:08,160
- 'than I to find heart room...'
- The first he has too much heart,
1001
00:54:08,190 --> 00:54:10,400
then too little. Just how much heart
does he need?
1002
00:54:10,470 --> 00:54:11,740
You are teasing.
1003
00:54:11,870 --> 00:54:12,870
You are jealous!
1004
00:54:12,910 --> 00:54:13,690
Jealous?
1005
00:54:13,730 --> 00:54:14,440
Yes.
1006
00:54:14,470 --> 00:54:15,840
Poets are all alike.
1007
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:19,660
Would you dare
criticize these lines?
1008
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:25,100
'Only believe that unto you
my whole heart gives one cry.
1009
00:54:25,540 --> 00:54:29,470
'And writing, writes down
more than you receive.
1010
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,010
'Sending you kisses
through my fingertips.
1011
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,020
'Lady, oh, read my letter
with your lips.'
1012
00:54:39,340 --> 00:54:43,820
Yes, those last lines,
but he overwrites.
1013
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:44,970
Listen to this.
1014
00:54:45,010 --> 00:54:46,000
Do you know
them all by heart?
1015
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,070
Every one.
1016
00:54:47,110 --> 00:54:48,500
Well, I may call
that flattering.
1017
00:54:48,530 --> 00:54:49,310
He is a master.
1018
00:54:49,350 --> 00:54:51,850
- Oh, come..
- Yes, a master.
1019
00:54:51,860 --> 00:54:55,270
Huh, a master,...
if you will.
1020
00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:00,520
And, uh, when do you
bestow the laurel wreath?
1021
00:55:00,540 --> 00:55:05,290
How many prodigies of poetry
must this new Hercules perform?
1022
00:55:05,390 --> 00:55:06,490
I do not know.
1023
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:11,580
My friend, you men own the world
and all that's in it.
1024
00:55:12,020 --> 00:55:17,990
Woman is at best a prize, a property
valued much the same as a horse or a dog,
1025
00:55:18,150 --> 00:55:22,010
unlike the pear and sheen of skin
and soundness of teeth and limb.
1026
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:27,870
Well, if I must be chattel,
then the terms shall be mine,
1027
00:55:27,910 --> 00:55:31,480
and the price according
to my own values.
1028
00:55:31,510 --> 00:55:32,670
There.
1029
00:55:34,070 --> 00:55:35,460
I see.
1030
00:55:37,060 --> 00:55:39,880
Christian tells me
that you meet tonight.
1031
00:55:42,510 --> 00:55:45,210
What would you have him
speak about?
1032
00:55:46,230 --> 00:55:47,910
Oh, nothing,
1033
00:55:48,260 --> 00:55:49,530
and everything.
1034
00:55:49,980 --> 00:55:54,140
I shall say, speak to me
of love in your own words.
1035
00:55:54,550 --> 00:55:56,810
Improvise, rhapsodize.
1036
00:55:57,540 --> 00:55:58,790
Be eloquent.
1037
00:55:59,910 --> 00:56:01,540
But you will not tell him,
will you?
1038
00:56:01,570 --> 00:56:03,270
Ah, perish the thought.
1039
00:56:03,590 --> 00:56:06,370
Madame, Compte de Guiche.
1040
00:56:10,720 --> 00:56:12,820
(Sigh)
Madame.
1041
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:16,880
Monsieur.
1042
00:56:17,770 --> 00:56:18,770
Madame.
1043
00:56:21,570 --> 00:56:24,270
Monsieur.
(Crunch)
1044
00:56:33,430 --> 00:56:35,090
- Christian, quick.
- No.
1045
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,030
There's still time to learn your lines.
No.
1046
00:56:37,070 --> 00:56:39,760
I have some brilliant phrases for you,
brilliant, sensitive...
1047
00:56:39,790 --> 00:56:40,500
No.
1048
00:56:41,150 --> 00:56:42,160
I'll have not more of it.
1049
00:56:42,190 --> 00:56:44,250
Taking all my words, my sentences
all from you,
1050
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,490
- making our love a little comedy.
- Don't you real...
1051
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,480
It was a game at first,
but now she cares.
1052
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:49,390
Huh?
1053
00:56:49,430 --> 00:56:50,750
Thanks to you.
Uh.
1054
00:56:50,790 --> 00:56:53,060
I'm not afraid any longer.
I'll speak for myself, now.
1055
00:56:53,090 --> 00:56:53,720
Oh, undoubtedly.
1056
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,990
I will. You shall see!
1057
00:56:56,500 --> 00:56:59,110
Besides, I know enough
to take a woman in my arms,
1058
00:56:59,150 --> 00:57:00,870
and tonight, I will.
1059
00:57:04,070 --> 00:57:05,420
(knocking on door)
- Christian!
1060
00:57:05,450 --> 00:57:07,210
Thank you, my friend,
and goodbye.
1061
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:09,040
- Christian, I beg of you.
- Leave me!
1062
00:57:09,070 --> 00:57:10,830
- You're making a grave error.
- Go away!
1063
00:57:13,540 --> 00:57:14,540
So be it.
1064
00:57:16,950 --> 00:57:18,600
(door opens)
1065
00:57:20,300 --> 00:57:21,440
Christian.
1066
00:57:21,470 --> 00:57:22,580
Roxane.
1067
00:57:23,190 --> 00:57:25,330
I'm so glad you are early.
1068
00:57:26,430 --> 00:57:28,400
Let us stay out here
in the moonlight.
1069
00:57:29,150 --> 00:57:30,490
It's so pleasant.
1070
00:57:32,780 --> 00:57:33,630
Sit down.
1071
00:57:36,450 --> 00:57:37,720
There, so.
1072
00:57:40,770 --> 00:57:43,780
Now, speak to me.
1073
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:45,470
I love you.
1074
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,330
Yes, speak to me of love.
1075
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,390
I...love you.
1076
00:57:53,430 --> 00:57:55,640
Now, be eloquent.
Be brilliant for me.
1077
00:57:56,300 --> 00:57:57,940
Tonight of all nights.
1078
00:57:58,250 --> 00:58:01,560
I love you....so.
1079
00:58:03,610 --> 00:58:07,630
You have your scene.
Now, improvise, rhapsodize.
1080
00:58:07,660 --> 00:58:11,570
I love you...
very much!
1081
00:58:14,500 --> 00:58:17,600
I ask for cream,
and you give me milk and water.
1082
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:22,490
Tell me firstly,
how you love me.
1083
00:58:22,530 --> 00:58:23,780
Very much!
1084
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:26,440
Is that all you feel?
1085
00:58:26,470 --> 00:58:29,360
Your throat, if only
I might kiss it.
1086
00:58:29,390 --> 00:58:30,170
Christian!
1087
00:58:30,210 --> 00:58:31,520
But, Roxane, I love you.
1088
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:32,860
Again.
1089
00:58:32,890 --> 00:58:34,450
No, not again.
I do not love you.
1090
00:58:37,490 --> 00:58:38,540
That is better.
1091
00:58:39,380 --> 00:58:42,870
I...I adore you!
1092
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:43,870
Oh!
1093
00:58:44,570 --> 00:58:46,070
I know I grow absurd.
1094
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:48,870
And that distresses me as much
as if you had grown ugly!
1095
00:58:51,020 --> 00:58:54,910
Please. Gather your dreams
together into words.
1096
00:58:54,950 --> 00:58:57,830
I...um, I...
1097
00:58:57,870 --> 00:59:00,280
I know. You love me!
Good night!
1098
00:59:00,310 --> 00:59:01,440
Oh, but wait, please!
1099
00:59:01,470 --> 00:59:02,530
I was going to say...
1100
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:04,510
That you adore me.
Yes, I know that, too.
1101
00:59:04,540 --> 00:59:06,720
-No, go away.
- I....
1102
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,290
(door slams shut)
1103
00:59:25,170 --> 00:59:28,330
(Cyrano claps his hands)
1104
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:29,870
A great success.
1105
00:59:30,940 --> 00:59:31,720
Help me.
1106
00:59:31,750 --> 00:59:33,620
Not I.
Speak for yourself, my friend.
1107
00:59:33,660 --> 00:59:35,220
Why I...I can't.
1108
00:59:35,250 --> 00:59:38,040
Well, at least you know enough
to take a woman in your arms.
1109
00:59:38,070 --> 00:59:39,680
Oh, Cyrano, please!
1110
00:59:39,790 --> 00:59:41,610
What, and make your love
a little comedy.
1111
00:59:41,650 --> 00:59:44,060
Cyrano, I cannot live
unless I win her back, now.
1112
00:59:44,100 --> 00:59:44,610
This moment!
1113
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,890
This moment. How the devil
am I to teach you now, this mo...
1114
00:59:47,980 --> 00:59:48,940
(Christian)
Her window.
1115
00:59:49,510 --> 00:59:51,690
- Help me, Cyrano, help me.
- Shhhh.
1116
00:59:53,290 --> 00:59:54,800
(Cyrano)
It does seem fairly dark.
1117
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:55,780
(Christian)
Well? Well?
1118
00:59:57,490 --> 00:59:59,190
(Cyrano)
It is more than
you deserve.
1119
01:00:00,550 --> 01:00:02,010
(Cyrano)
I must try out what
can be done.
1120
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:03,040
(Cyrano)
Stand over there.
1121
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,500
(Cyrano)
Idiot, here, before the balcony.
I'll whisper you what to say.
1122
01:00:09,540 --> 01:00:11,380
- She'll hear..
- Shhhh. Call her.
1123
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:13,690
(Christian)
Roxane.
1124
01:00:14,950 --> 01:00:17,330
(Christian louder)
Roxane.
1125
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,220
(balcony window opens)
1126
01:00:21,690 --> 01:00:22,760
Who's calling?
1127
01:00:23,430 --> 01:00:24,240
Christian.
1128
01:00:24,570 --> 01:00:25,670
You again.
1129
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:27,420
I...had to tell you.
1130
01:00:27,710 --> 01:00:29,340
No. Go away.
You tell me nothing.
1131
01:00:29,370 --> 01:00:30,390
Please.
1132
01:00:30,430 --> 01:00:32,240
You do not
love me anymore.
1133
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:34,810
(Christian copies Cyrano)
No, not anymore.
1134
01:00:35,530 --> 01:00:37,340
I love you evermore,
1135
01:00:38,150 --> 01:00:40,050
and evermore and more.
1136
01:00:41,190 --> 01:00:42,640
Oh, a little better.
1137
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,160
Love grows and struggles
like an angry child.
1138
01:00:48,710 --> 01:00:50,620
Breaking my heart.
1139
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,070
His cradle...
1140
01:00:53,110 --> 01:00:54,630
Better still.
1141
01:00:55,230 --> 01:00:57,390
But such a babe is dangerous.
1142
01:00:57,910 --> 01:01:00,140
Why not have
smothered it newborn?
1143
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:03,290
And so I do.
1144
01:01:03,650 --> 01:01:05,290
And yet he lives.
1145
01:01:06,340 --> 01:01:08,910
I found as you sha...
you shall find
1146
01:01:10,250 --> 01:01:14,400
this newborn babe...
and infant Hercules!
1147
01:01:14,900 --> 01:01:15,430
Good.
1148
01:01:15,460 --> 01:01:16,820
Strong enough at birth
1149
01:01:17,740 --> 01:01:19,600
to strangle
those two serpents
1150
01:01:20,010 --> 01:01:20,550
doubt and
1151
01:01:20,590 --> 01:01:21,090
<i>What?</i>
1152
01:01:21,250 --> 01:01:22,600
pride!
1153
01:01:23,410 --> 01:01:24,440
Why, very good.
1154
01:01:25,330 --> 01:01:27,880
Only, tell me why
you speak so haltingly.
1155
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,580
Has your imagination
gone....lame?
1156
01:01:33,260 --> 01:01:35,130
(Cyrano)
This grows too difficult.
1157
01:01:35,530 --> 01:01:38,320
Your words tonight
hesitate, why?
1158
01:01:38,630 --> 01:01:42,970
Through the warm summer gloom,
they grope in darkness
1159
01:01:43,170 --> 01:01:44,690
toward the light of you.
1160
01:01:46,010 --> 01:01:47,860
My words are
heavy with honey,
1161
01:01:47,900 --> 01:01:49,360
like returning bees.
1162
01:01:50,190 --> 01:01:52,310
Yet they must fly so high.
1163
01:01:52,530 --> 01:01:54,140
Come nearer then.
Stand you on the bench.
1164
01:01:54,170 --> 01:01:55,000
No.
1165
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:56,190
Then I'll come down.
1166
01:01:56,230 --> 01:01:57,110
NO!
1167
01:01:57,570 --> 01:01:59,380
And why so great a no?
1168
01:02:00,490 --> 01:02:02,920
Let me enjoy the one
moment I ever...
1169
01:02:03,710 --> 01:02:07,110
My one chance
to speak to you...unseen.
1170
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:08,290
Unseen?
1171
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:09,740
Yes. Yes.
1172
01:02:10,070 --> 01:02:12,380
Night making all things
dimly beautiful
1173
01:02:12,410 --> 01:02:13,770
one veil over us both.
1174
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,040
You need no eyes
to hear my heart.
1175
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:20,410
Oh, tonight, let it seem as if
I speak for the first time.
1176
01:02:21,150 --> 01:02:22,110
For the first time?
1177
01:02:22,140 --> 01:02:23,000
Yes.
1178
01:02:23,940 --> 01:02:25,780
Your voice, even,
is not the same.
1179
01:02:25,810 --> 01:02:26,990
How should it be.
1180
01:02:27,030 --> 01:02:28,450
I have another
voice tonight.
1181
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:31,250
My own, myself,... daring!
1182
01:02:31,610 --> 01:02:32,610
Why daring?
1183
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,600
Because, what am I, what is any man
would he dare ask for you?
1184
01:02:36,630 --> 01:02:40,780
Therefore my heart has hidden behind
poetic words and tinsel phrases.
1185
01:02:41,260 --> 01:02:43,640
But are they not sweet,
those pretty phrases?
1186
01:02:43,670 --> 01:02:45,630
Not enough sweet
for you and me tonight.
1187
01:02:47,530 --> 01:02:49,240
You never spoke
to me like this.
1188
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,510
I tell you, there comes
one moment, once,
1189
01:02:51,540 --> 01:02:53,800
and heaven help those
who pass that moment by,
1190
01:02:53,830 --> 01:02:56,110
when beauty stands
looking into the soul
1191
01:02:56,150 --> 01:03:01,810
with grave, sweet eyes,
that sicken at pretty words.
1192
01:03:02,650 --> 01:03:06,260
Yes...that is love.
1193
01:03:06,290 --> 01:03:07,010
Love.
1194
01:03:07,050 --> 01:03:09,260
A love beyond breath,
beyond reason,
1195
01:03:09,290 --> 01:03:11,590
beyond love's own
power of loving.
1196
01:03:11,630 --> 01:03:14,200
Your name is like a golden bell
hung in my heart,
1197
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:18,450
and when I think of you I tremble,
and the bell swings and rings,
1198
01:03:18,610 --> 01:03:28,580
Roxane! Roxane!
Along my veins...Roxane.
1199
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,970
Yes...that is love.
1200
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,770
(Cyrano)
Yes...that is love.
1201
01:03:36,090 --> 01:03:38,920
That wind of terrible
and jealous beauty,
1202
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:44,200
that dark fire,
that soaring, blinding music.
1203
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,690
Yet, you may take my happiness
to make you happier
1204
01:03:47,730 --> 01:03:49,410
even though you
never know I gave it to you.
1205
01:03:49,940 --> 01:03:55,700
Only let me hear, sometimes, all alone,
the distant laughter of your joy.
1206
01:03:56,740 --> 01:03:58,470
Do you begin
to understand a little?
1207
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,200
Can you feel my soul there
in the darkness breathe on you?
1208
01:04:03,230 --> 01:04:06,630
Oh, only tonight,
now I dare say these things.
1209
01:04:06,790 --> 01:04:09,400
I to you, and you hear them.
1210
01:04:10,030 --> 01:04:12,650
It is my voice, mine, my own
that makes you tremble
1211
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,390
there in the green gloom,
above me, for you do tremble
1212
01:04:15,430 --> 01:04:18,110
as a blossom among the leaves,
you tremble, and I can feel
1213
01:04:18,140 --> 01:04:19,670
all the way down along
this jasmine branch
1214
01:04:19,710 --> 01:04:23,700
whether you will unhold
the passion of you trembling.
1215
01:04:24,340 --> 01:04:25,960
Yes, I do tremble.
1216
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,880
And I weep, and I love you,
and I am yours,
1217
01:04:29,910 --> 01:04:31,720
and you have made me thus.
1218
01:04:36,710 --> 01:04:38,250
I have done this to you.
1219
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,380
I myself.
1220
01:04:44,970 --> 01:04:47,240
Only let me ask
one thing more.
1221
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:48,900
I want a kiss!
1222
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:52,080
You ask me for...
1223
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:53,060
I...yes.
1224
01:04:53,100 --> 01:04:54,260
That is to say...
1225
01:04:54,780 --> 01:04:55,770
I mean...
1226
01:04:56,140 --> 01:04:57,450
You've gone too far.
1227
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,370
If she's willing, why
not make the most of it?
1228
01:04:59,410 --> 01:05:04,270
I, I ask.
I know I ask too much.
1229
01:05:05,150 --> 01:05:06,420
Only one?
1230
01:05:07,550 --> 01:05:08,630
Is that all?
1231
01:05:09,150 --> 01:05:12,210
All?
How much more than all?
1232
01:05:12,250 --> 01:05:16,030
I know I startle you,
I...I ask, I ask you to refuse.
1233
01:05:16,070 --> 01:05:17,200
Why? Why? Why?
1234
01:05:17,230 --> 01:05:18,350
Christian, be quiet.
1235
01:05:18,390 --> 01:05:19,430
What is that your say?
1236
01:05:19,470 --> 01:05:21,810
I am angry with myself,
because I know I go too far
1237
01:05:21,850 --> 01:05:26,270
and so I say to myself,
CHRISTIAN, BE QUIET!
1238
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:28,300
Watch it, someone comes.
1239
01:05:36,390 --> 01:05:39,180
Well, sir, I am looking
for the house of madame Roxane Robin.
1240
01:05:39,220 --> 01:05:43,450
This is not the house. That way.
To the right. Keep to the right.
1241
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:44,330
I thank you sir.
1242
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,880
I shall say my beads for you
to the very last bead.
1243
01:05:49,340 --> 01:05:50,680
Win me that kiss?
1244
01:05:51,370 --> 01:05:52,070
No!
1245
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:53,780
Sooner or later.
1246
01:05:59,170 --> 01:06:00,510
So that is true.
1247
01:06:01,460 --> 01:06:07,540
Sooner or later must be so, because,
she is young, and you are handsome.
1248
01:06:09,170 --> 01:06:15,240
Since it must be, I'd rather be
myself the cause, if it must be.
1249
01:06:16,990 --> 01:06:19,620
(balcony window opens)
1250
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:24,660
Are you still there?
1251
01:06:24,690 --> 01:06:25,470
(Cyrano)
Yes.
1252
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:28,740
We were speaking of...
1253
01:06:30,090 --> 01:06:32,450
A kiss.
- A kiss.
1254
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,340
And what is a kiss
when all is done?
1255
01:06:34,930 --> 01:06:37,080
A vow taken before
the shrine of memory.
1256
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,650
A rosy dot
over the "i" of loving.
1257
01:06:39,790 --> 01:06:42,950
- A secret whisper
to listen if the past.
1258
01:06:42,980 --> 01:06:43,650
Shhh.
1259
01:06:43,690 --> 01:06:46,720
A moment free to mortal
with a rush of wing from Ceden.
1260
01:06:46,750 --> 01:06:48,220
A sacrament of blossoms.
1261
01:06:48,260 --> 01:06:53,250
A new song sung by two hearts
to an old, simple tune.
1262
01:06:53,290 --> 01:06:54,430
Hush.
1263
01:06:54,460 --> 01:06:56,050
Why? What shame?
1264
01:06:58,010 --> 01:07:01,310
No.
No shame.
1265
01:07:01,610 --> 01:07:02,770
Then come.
1266
01:07:03,550 --> 01:07:05,680
Gather your sacred blossoms.
1267
01:07:07,250 --> 01:07:09,230
Your moment made immortal.
1268
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:09,860
Climb!
1269
01:07:10,660 --> 01:07:12,300
- But, climb?
- Many more!
1270
01:07:22,410 --> 01:07:23,760
Roxane.
1271
01:07:33,870 --> 01:07:34,690
(sigh)
1272
01:07:36,090 --> 01:07:39,770
Ah, Roxane.
I have won what I have wanted.
1273
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:45,410
A feast of love,
and I am faint with hunger.
1274
01:07:48,110 --> 01:07:51,040
Yet, I have something here
that is mine now,...
1275
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,380
and was not mine before.
1276
01:07:54,220 --> 01:07:56,790
I spoke the words
that won her.
1277
01:07:57,890 --> 01:08:05,890
She kisses my words.
My words...upon his lips.
1278
01:08:07,230 --> 01:08:08,650
(gate opens)
1279
01:08:13,250 --> 01:08:14,670
What, dear Father,
lost your way again?
1280
01:08:14,710 --> 01:08:16,270
But, she lives here,
Madame Robin.
1281
01:08:16,300 --> 01:08:17,830
Oh, I thought
you said, Rolen?
1282
01:08:17,860 --> 01:08:19,850
No, r..o..b..i..n, Robin.
1283
01:08:19,890 --> 01:08:21,030
Oh, Robin, I see.
1284
01:08:21,070 --> 01:08:23,090
I'm too old
to chase wild geese
1285
01:08:23,130 --> 01:08:25,080
- my feet...
- Oh, what a shame,
1286
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,920
(knocking on door)
however, I'm sure there's someone at home.
1287
01:08:29,330 --> 01:08:30,120
(door opens)
1288
01:08:30,150 --> 01:08:30,860
What is it?
1289
01:08:30,890 --> 01:08:34,570
Yeah, I'm looking for
the young lady, Madam Rolen
1290
01:08:34,610 --> 01:08:35,840
Rolen?
1291
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:37,080
Robin!
1292
01:08:37,950 --> 01:08:40,050
Madame!
A letter for you.
1293
01:08:40,590 --> 01:08:42,070
Yes, yes, I heard.
1294
01:08:42,970 --> 01:08:43,650
Cyrano.
1295
01:08:43,690 --> 01:08:46,080
Uh, passing by cousin,
I saw this light.
1296
01:08:46,700 --> 01:08:50,330
Uh, some matter
profitable to the soul.
1297
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:52,550
A very noble lord gave it to me.
1298
01:08:52,750 --> 01:08:53,640
(Christian)
What is it?
1299
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,100
<i>My regiment has been
ordered to the front. </i>
1300
01:08:57,130 --> 01:08:59,490
<i>I cannot allow you
to delay any longer.</i>
1301
01:08:59,530 --> 01:09:01,820
<i>This simple old monk,
who knows nothing,</i>
1302
01:09:01,850 --> 01:09:04,190
<i>will marry us tonight.
My love, Antoine de Guiche.</i>
1303
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,110
(Roxane changes everything)
1304
01:09:07,150 --> 01:09:08,880
Father, this letter
concerns you.
1305
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,930
"Madame, the Cardinal
will have his way,
1306
01:09:13,970 --> 01:09:15,530
"although against your will.
1307
01:09:15,710 --> 01:09:18,150
"That is why I am
sending this to you,
1308
01:09:18,180 --> 01:09:20,470
"by a most holy man.
1309
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,160
"Intelligent, discreet.
1310
01:09:23,580 --> 01:09:26,660
"You will communicate
to him our order to perform
1311
01:09:26,900 --> 01:09:31,160
"here and at once
the rite of holy matrimony.
1312
01:09:32,570 --> 01:09:35,910
"You and Christian will be
married privately in your house.
1313
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,760
"Be resigned to the
Cardinal's command,
1314
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:41,930
"who sends herewith
his blessings.
1315
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,060
"Your very humble,
and etcetera..."
1316
01:09:44,940 --> 01:09:46,750
Oh, this is terrible.
1317
01:09:48,220 --> 01:09:49,850
Oh, you're to be
the, uh...
1318
01:09:49,890 --> 01:09:51,490
I am to be the bridegroom.
1319
01:09:53,950 --> 01:09:56,230
Uh, look here.
A postscript.
1320
01:09:56,780 --> 01:10:02,320
"Give to the monastery,
in my name 120 pieces of gold."
1321
01:10:02,350 --> 01:10:04,070
One hundred and twenty...
1322
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,530
Oh, a worthy lord.
A very worthy lord.
1323
01:10:09,470 --> 01:10:12,030
Daughter, resign yourself.
1324
01:10:12,070 --> 01:10:14,080
I am resigned.
1325
01:10:22,350 --> 01:10:24,500
The Guiche is coming, too.
Don't let him enter.
1326
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:25,730
Not let him enter?
1327
01:10:25,770 --> 01:10:27,790
Until we're married, please.
1328
01:10:28,610 --> 01:10:30,340
(door slams shut)
1329
01:10:44,330 --> 01:10:45,250
(Count)
What is that?
1330
01:10:45,340 --> 01:10:46,330
(Cyrano)
Me?
1331
01:10:46,370 --> 01:10:48,360
- Why, where did you come from?
- The moon.
1332
01:10:48,390 --> 01:10:49,330
- You...
- From the moon.
1333
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:50,690
I have just returned
from the moon.
1334
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:52,420
- The fellow's mad!
-Like a bomb, I tell you,
1335
01:10:52,460 --> 01:10:54,130
- I fell from the moon!
- Your feet must...
1336
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:55,450
- I say THE MOON!
1337
01:10:55,480 --> 01:10:57,580
- Very well, if you say so.
- Thank you.
1338
01:10:57,610 --> 01:10:58,610
- Raving mad.
1339
01:11:00,660 --> 01:11:02,850
- Where am I?
- My dear sir!
1340
01:11:02,890 --> 01:11:04,080
- What place is this?
What country?
1341
01:11:04,110 --> 01:11:06,170
- Please, let me pass.
- This face, good heavens!
1342
01:11:06,210 --> 01:11:08,710
Maul, a robber.
Where am I?
1343
01:11:08,750 --> 01:11:12,830
- A lady is waiting for me.
- Oh, this is Paris, huh?
1344
01:11:12,870 --> 01:11:13,620
You fool!
1345
01:11:13,650 --> 01:11:14,800
Dear old Paris.
1346
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,750
Excuse my appearance.
I arrived by the last thunderbolt.
1347
01:11:17,790 --> 01:11:19,970
A trifled singed
as I passed through the ether.
1348
01:11:20,470 --> 01:11:21,320
Monsieur!
1349
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:22,080
Sir?
1350
01:11:22,130 --> 01:11:23,750
That will do, now. I wish...
1351
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,600
I know, you wish to look for
my own list of nature for moons
1352
01:11:25,630 --> 01:11:27,820
and happiness and character
of it's surface, if any.
1353
01:11:27,850 --> 01:11:29,060
I desire no such thing, I...
1354
01:11:29,100 --> 01:11:30,060
Of course not.
1355
01:11:32,940 --> 01:11:34,330
You wish to know
by what mysterious
1356
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:35,570
means I reached the moon.
1357
01:11:35,610 --> 01:11:37,870
Well, a very secret affair of state,
1358
01:11:37,900 --> 01:11:41,770
but confidentially
a new invention of my own.
1359
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:43,190
Drunk, two ways.
Well a man..
1360
01:11:43,230 --> 01:11:46,050
Oh, no. In truth I have
my choice of several inventions.
1361
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:46,600
Uh?
1362
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:50,850
Yes, several ways
to violate the virgin sky.
1363
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:52,210
Several?
1364
01:11:52,250 --> 01:11:53,510
Several.
1365
01:11:53,540 --> 01:11:57,520
As, for instance, smoke
having a natural tendency to rise,
1366
01:11:57,550 --> 01:12:02,050
blow in a globe
enough to raise me.
1367
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:03,300
Yes, that makes one.
1368
01:12:03,330 --> 01:12:06,780
Again, I might construct a rocket
in the shape of a HUGE locust
1369
01:12:06,820 --> 01:12:10,810
driven by impulses up within
a saltpeter from the rear
1370
01:12:10,850 --> 01:12:14,050
and thus speed upwards,
like, thus!
1371
01:12:14,260 --> 01:12:15,260
Yes, another?
1372
01:12:15,290 --> 01:12:18,950
Finally, seated on an iron plate,
hurl a magnet into the air.
1373
01:12:18,980 --> 01:12:21,810
The iron follows.
I catch the magnet.
1374
01:12:21,850 --> 01:12:25,330
Throw it again, and
so proceed indefinitely.
1375
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,460
Excellent, and
which did you adopt?
1376
01:12:31,450 --> 01:12:32,370
Why none of them.
1377
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:34,350
Yet another.
1378
01:12:34,390 --> 01:12:35,740
Which was...?
1379
01:12:46,810 --> 01:12:47,500
Guess.
1380
01:12:47,860 --> 01:12:49,370
Ahhh, I can't!
1381
01:12:50,090 --> 01:12:51,100
Try.
1382
01:12:52,340 --> 01:12:53,980
Interesting idiot, this.
1383
01:13:05,350 --> 01:13:06,540
Have you guessed it yet?
1384
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:07,960
Why, no, what is it?
1385
01:13:13,780 --> 01:13:15,870
Alas, you will never know,
but no matter.
1386
01:13:15,910 --> 01:13:18,470
You are free and
they are bound in wedlock.
1387
01:13:18,510 --> 01:13:21,010
I drunk that voice,
and that nose, Cyrano!
1388
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:23,710
Cyrano. This very moment
they have exchanged vows.
1389
01:13:23,750 --> 01:13:24,460
Who?
1390
01:13:29,820 --> 01:13:31,530
My sincere compliments.
1391
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,900
You, also, my traveler in space.
1392
01:13:34,940 --> 01:13:37,800
My Lord, the heads of Capathieu
and Joyce have joined together.
1393
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:38,750
Quite so!
1394
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:44,160
Madame, kindly bid
your... husband farewell.
1395
01:13:44,190 --> 01:13:46,670
Your regiment leaves tonight, sir.
Report at once!
1396
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:49,320
But, the Cadets are not called.
1397
01:13:49,350 --> 01:13:51,850
They are, indeed, and
under my command.
1398
01:13:52,710 --> 01:13:55,080
Out there we may
have an accounting.
1399
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:58,130
Somehow, that news
fails to disquiet me.
1400
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,190
Here are the orders.
Baron, deliver this.
1401
01:14:02,500 --> 01:14:03,650
Christian!
1402
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,660
The bridal night
is not so near.
1403
01:14:10,090 --> 01:14:13,400
Somehow that news
fails to disquiet me.
1404
01:14:17,710 --> 01:14:19,340
Baron, you have your orders.
1405
01:14:36,270 --> 01:14:37,530
Farewell, Roxane.
1406
01:14:38,290 --> 01:14:40,490
Take care of him, for me.
Promise me never to let him
1407
01:14:40,530 --> 01:14:41,400
do anything dangerous.
1408
01:14:41,430 --> 01:14:42,890
I will do my best.
I cannot promise.
1409
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:44,970
I thought you brave always.
Make him be careful.
1410
01:14:45,010 --> 01:14:46,070
Yes, yes, I'll try.
1411
01:14:46,110 --> 01:14:47,840
Be sure to keep him
warm and dry!
1412
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:49,150
Yes, if possible.
1413
01:14:49,190 --> 01:14:51,820
Have him write to me
every single day!
1414
01:14:51,860 --> 01:14:54,090
That, I promise you.
1415
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,970
(the war with Spain)
1416
01:15:40,820 --> 01:15:41,540
Halt!
1417
01:16:03,370 --> 01:16:03,920
Uh!
1418
01:16:13,930 --> 01:16:18,590
(Madame Baroness de Neuvillette,
Rue Marais No. 12, Paris)
1419
01:16:46,610 --> 01:16:48,170
The situation
is simple, gentlemen.
1420
01:16:48,420 --> 01:16:53,340
We have besieged Arras.
The Prince of Spain has besieged us.
1421
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,960
Consequently, we
are surrounded.
1422
01:16:56,050 --> 01:16:58,920
- A fine war. Where
the besiegers are besieged
1423
01:16:58,950 --> 01:17:00,020
and starve to death.
1424
01:17:00,060 --> 01:17:01,990
Yes, but the Marshal has
devised a brilliant plan
1425
01:17:02,030 --> 01:17:03,480
for bringing in food
this very night.
1426
01:17:03,510 --> 01:17:04,460
Now, see here.
1427
01:17:04,500 --> 01:17:06,240
Spare us the details, Colonel.
1428
01:17:06,270 --> 01:17:08,820
Merely inform us
when the food arrives.
1429
01:17:08,860 --> 01:17:11,380
True, we are hungry.
But why blame me?
1430
01:17:11,700 --> 01:17:13,320
I'm only your Colonel.
1431
01:17:14,700 --> 01:17:16,910
Oh, yes, I know
you disprove of me.
1432
01:17:17,020 --> 01:17:18,940
Call me courtier, politician.
1433
01:17:19,430 --> 01:17:22,080
Well, I can afford you little hates.
1434
01:17:22,110 --> 01:17:24,730
My conduct under fire
is well known.
1435
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,170
It was only yesterday
I repelled a Spanish attack.
1436
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,070
Pouring my men down
like an avalanche.
1437
01:17:29,250 --> 01:17:30,710
I, myself lead the charge.
1438
01:17:30,900 --> 01:17:33,330
- And your white scarf?
(through a cannon barrel)
1439
01:17:33,370 --> 01:17:34,130
Cyrano!
1440
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:39,140
And your white scarf?
1441
01:17:39,150 --> 01:17:40,480
Eh, you heard that episode?
1442
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:44,110
Yes, I was so far in advance
I was in danger of being captured.
1443
01:17:44,180 --> 01:17:46,570
But I thought quickly,
took off and flung away
1444
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,290
the scarf that marked
my military rank.
1445
01:17:48,420 --> 01:17:51,150
And so being inconspicuous
escaped among my own force,
1446
01:17:51,410 --> 01:17:54,250
rallied them, returned,
and won the day.
1447
01:17:54,290 --> 01:17:55,500
What do you say to that?
1448
01:17:55,540 --> 01:17:58,550
Still, enough that is not likely
to resign the privilege of being a target.
1449
01:17:58,580 --> 01:18:01,690
How pleasant for you
that you are denied that privilege.
1450
01:18:01,730 --> 01:18:03,650
Pleasant?
Lend me your scarf.
1451
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:05,570
With your permission I shall
lead the first charge tonight
1452
01:18:05,610 --> 01:18:06,890
wearing it over my shoulder.
1453
01:18:06,930 --> 01:18:07,720
What bluster.
1454
01:18:07,750 --> 01:18:09,630
You're safe making that offer,
and you know it.
1455
01:18:09,670 --> 01:18:12,620
My scarf lies on the
river bank between the lines.
1456
01:18:12,650 --> 01:18:15,560
A spot swept by artillery.
Impossible to reach alive.
1457
01:18:15,700 --> 01:18:16,700
Yes.
1458
01:18:16,730 --> 01:18:20,500
(displays the Colonel's scarf)
1459
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:22,410
Here.
1460
01:18:22,580 --> 01:18:24,590
(laughter)
1461
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:26,500
Thank you.
1462
01:18:28,180 --> 01:18:31,000
This bit of white is
what I need to make a signal.
1463
01:18:31,820 --> 01:18:33,360
I was hesitating.
1464
01:18:33,940 --> 01:18:35,720
You have decided me.
1465
01:18:41,370 --> 01:18:43,010
- Stand or I'll fire!
- Hold you fire.
1466
01:18:43,050 --> 01:18:44,650
There's a man down
there running away.
1467
01:18:44,690 --> 01:18:46,700
Yes, a Spaniard.
1468
01:18:47,440 --> 01:18:50,310
But very useful as a spy
to both sides.
1469
01:18:51,270 --> 01:18:52,480
As I was about
to tell you.
1470
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,100
The Marshal has withdrawn
more than half our forces here.
1471
01:18:55,140 --> 01:18:57,190
Fortunately, the Spaniards
do not know that.
1472
01:18:57,230 --> 01:19:00,470
Oh, yes, they do now,
and they will attack tonight.
1473
01:19:00,510 --> 01:19:02,240
At this point.
1474
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:04,520
Your revenge, eh?
1475
01:19:04,550 --> 01:19:06,670
I make not great
pretense in loving you.
1476
01:19:06,770 --> 01:19:10,170
But since you gentlemen
esteem yourselves invincible,
1477
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,710
the bravest of the brave,
and all that.
1478
01:19:12,750 --> 01:19:14,120
Why need we be personal.
1479
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,710
The Marshal needs
a diversion, and I serve him
1480
01:19:16,740 --> 01:19:19,040
in choosing as I chose.
1481
01:19:19,210 --> 01:19:21,440
As you can see, Captain,
the great thing is to gain time.
1482
01:19:21,470 --> 01:19:23,070
To hold until the Marshal returns.
1483
01:19:23,180 --> 01:19:24,980
- And to gain time?
1484
01:19:25,490 --> 01:19:31,370
You will all be so kind
as to lay down your lives.
1485
01:19:39,610 --> 01:19:40,700
Christian?
1486
01:19:40,740 --> 01:19:41,400
Yes.
1487
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:46,130
Roxane?
1488
01:19:46,940 --> 01:19:49,260
I should like to say
farewell to her
1489
01:19:49,290 --> 01:19:51,580
with my whole
heart for her to keep.
1490
01:19:53,630 --> 01:19:55,610
I have taken the liberty of...
1491
01:19:58,580 --> 01:20:03,760
(the first letter
Christian is aware of)
1492
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:05,110
But, wait.
1493
01:20:07,270 --> 01:20:08,180
This little spot.
1494
01:20:08,620 --> 01:20:09,360
Spot?
1495
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:10,100
Yes.
1496
01:20:10,470 --> 01:20:11,550
A tear.
1497
01:20:13,500 --> 01:20:14,210
Is nothing.
1498
01:20:14,250 --> 01:20:16,860
A poet while he writes
is like a lover in his lady's arms,
1499
01:20:16,890 --> 01:20:19,060
believing his imagination,
everything seems real.
1500
01:20:19,090 --> 01:20:20,710
There's half the charm
of writing.
1501
01:20:21,230 --> 01:20:24,000
Now, I made this letter
so pathetic, that,
1502
01:20:24,030 --> 01:20:27,290
while I was writing it,
I wept.
1503
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:28,110
You wept?
1504
01:20:28,650 --> 01:20:31,590
Why, yes, because
it is a little thing to die,
1505
01:20:32,500 --> 01:20:36,710
but not to see her,...
that is terrible.
1506
01:20:37,700 --> 01:20:41,890
I shall never...,
you will never...
1507
01:20:42,480 --> 01:20:43,690
Give me that.
1508
01:20:45,190 --> 01:20:48,500
- Halt. Who goes there.
- On the service of the King.
1509
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:01,330
- The King!
- Fall in...
1510
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:11,620
Good evening.
1511
01:21:11,650 --> 01:21:13,540
On the King's service, you?
1512
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:25,850
- Gentlemen,...
- What are you doing here?
1513
01:21:25,890 --> 01:21:28,300
- We heard rumors at home
you were hungry,
1514
01:21:28,340 --> 01:21:29,810
- so we came prepared.
1515
01:21:29,850 --> 01:21:34,500
The Spaniards adored the fare,
but they missed the fowl!
1516
01:21:34,530 --> 01:21:37,560
(soldiers clamor for food)
1517
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:47,020
But why did you come here
into this, this danger?
1518
01:21:47,060 --> 01:21:49,420
They said in Paris
there was no fighting.
1519
01:21:50,450 --> 01:21:53,620
Besides, it was your own fault.
1520
01:22:01,410 --> 01:22:03,770
Think of the
letters you have written me.
1521
01:22:04,050 --> 01:22:06,510
How many times!
Every day!
1522
01:22:06,550 --> 01:22:07,680
Every day?
1523
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:08,820
Of course.
1524
01:22:08,980 --> 01:22:11,560
And each one
more wonderful than the last.
1525
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:14,820
All this, for a few absurd love letters.
1526
01:22:14,860 --> 01:22:18,050
Hush. Absurd?
Your letters...no, never.
1527
01:22:19,030 --> 01:22:22,730
Every one was like hearing your voice
that night in the dark. Remember?
1528
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:26,590
Like your arms around me.
I read them over and over.
1529
01:22:26,630 --> 01:22:30,420
Every page was like
a petal fallen from you soul.
1530
01:22:30,460 --> 01:22:33,350
Like the light
and the fire of a great love.
1531
01:22:33,390 --> 01:22:36,020
- Sweet and strong and true.
- Sweet.
1532
01:22:36,180 --> 01:22:37,280
Strong.
1533
01:22:37,590 --> 01:22:38,490
True?
1534
01:22:41,570 --> 01:22:43,090
Oh, my Christian.
1535
01:22:43,690 --> 01:22:46,420
I came here to ask forgiveness.
1536
01:22:47,660 --> 01:22:49,380
It is time to be forgiven.
1537
01:22:49,860 --> 01:22:51,950
Now, when we
may die so soon.
1538
01:22:53,780 --> 01:22:55,380
Forgive me for being
light and vain
1539
01:22:55,410 --> 01:22:57,570
and loving you only
because you were handsome.
1540
01:22:57,600 --> 01:22:59,230
- For now...
- Now?
1541
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:01,940
I love you for yourself.
1542
01:23:02,350 --> 01:23:04,090
For what you are.
1543
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:05,340
Roxane.
1544
01:23:05,910 --> 01:23:09,000
How you must have suffered.
For you saw how frivolous I was.
1545
01:23:09,030 --> 01:23:11,300
And to be loved
for the mere costume,
1546
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,090
for the poor, casual
body you went about in.
1547
01:23:14,750 --> 01:23:17,620
To a soul like yours,
that must have been torture.
1548
01:23:17,650 --> 01:23:18,390
No.
1549
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:23,140
I understand.
1550
01:23:23,790 --> 01:23:25,930
You cannot perfectly
believe in me,
1551
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:27,530
a...a love like this...
1552
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:29,090
I want no love like this.
1553
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,020
I want love only for...
1554
01:23:31,050 --> 01:23:33,090
Only for what every
woman sees in you.
1555
01:23:33,700 --> 01:23:35,030
I can to better than that.
1556
01:23:35,060 --> 01:23:37,240
No, it...it was best before.
1557
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,090
You do not
altogether know me.
1558
01:23:40,540 --> 01:23:42,260
I was a child.
1559
01:23:42,350 --> 01:23:43,650
I'm a woman now.
1560
01:23:44,250 --> 01:23:46,720
- If...if you were less handsome,
- No.
1561
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:50,130
unattractive, ugly even,
I should love you, still.
1562
01:23:50,770 --> 01:23:51,900
Do you mean that?
1563
01:23:52,510 --> 01:23:53,750
I do mean that.
1564
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:55,020
Ugly?
1565
01:23:55,100 --> 01:23:56,200
Even then.
1566
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:58,050
Now, are you happy?
1567
01:24:03,470 --> 01:24:04,650
Yes.
1568
01:24:04,690 --> 01:24:05,500
What is it?
1569
01:24:06,190 --> 01:24:08,690
Nothing, only, Cyrano...
1570
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:10,830
Cyrano.
1571
01:24:12,050 --> 01:24:14,090
he has something
to tell you.
1572
01:24:16,180 --> 01:24:17,200
Where are you going?
1573
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:20,690
I...will...return...in a moment.
1574
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:30,050
Cyrano.
1575
01:24:30,650 --> 01:24:32,480
Your wife, sir,
she goes with me?
1576
01:24:32,510 --> 01:24:33,340
No, sir, she remains.
1577
01:24:33,380 --> 01:24:34,670
There is still time
for her to escape.
1578
01:24:34,710 --> 01:24:35,640
She stays!
1579
01:24:36,030 --> 01:24:36,790
Very well.
1580
01:24:36,820 --> 01:24:38,950
Someone give me a musket.
I stay here also.
1581
01:24:39,420 --> 01:24:40,640
Sir, you show courage.
1582
01:24:40,670 --> 01:24:42,890
What, shall I run away,
and leave a woman?
1583
01:24:43,450 --> 01:24:45,320
Colonel, my compliments, sir.
1584
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:47,810
What of Roxane?
1585
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:48,470
Wait.
1586
01:24:49,350 --> 01:24:50,860
Well, what is it?
You look so...
1587
01:24:52,830 --> 01:24:54,580
She does not love me.
1588
01:24:54,990 --> 01:24:57,310
- You think not?
- She loves you.
1589
01:24:57,340 --> 01:24:59,630
- No.
- She loves only my soul.
1590
01:24:59,660 --> 01:25:00,370
- No.
- Yes!
1591
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:03,140
That means you.
And you love her.
1592
01:25:03,170 --> 01:25:05,300
- I?
- I see. I know.
1593
01:25:05,340 --> 01:25:08,310
You wrote her,
everyday, every day!
1594
01:25:08,820 --> 01:25:10,030
- Perfectly simple.
- Simple?
1595
01:25:10,060 --> 01:25:11,700
For a month,
we've been blockaded here.
1596
01:25:11,740 --> 01:25:13,340
How did you send
all those letters?
1597
01:25:13,370 --> 01:25:14,500
Before daylight
I managed...
1598
01:25:14,530 --> 01:25:16,070
To face death
everyday.
1599
01:25:16,820 --> 01:25:17,950
You love her.
1600
01:25:19,020 --> 01:25:20,190
Yes.
1601
01:25:26,950 --> 01:25:27,890
Tell her so.
1602
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:29,250
- No.
- Why not?
1603
01:25:29,350 --> 01:25:32,290
Why?
Look at me.
1604
01:25:32,590 --> 01:25:35,420
She would love me
if I were ugly.
1605
01:25:35,990 --> 01:25:38,820
- She said that?
- Yes. Now, go to her.
1606
01:25:40,090 --> 01:25:42,410
Nonsense. Do not
believe any such madness.
1607
01:25:42,440 --> 01:25:44,730
Go back to her.
You never will be ugly.
1608
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:45,810
Go!
It is you she loves.
1609
01:25:45,850 --> 01:25:46,870
That is what
we shall see.
1610
01:25:46,900 --> 01:25:47,840
No, no!
1611
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:49,480
- Let her chose between us.
- No.
1612
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:51,510
- Tell her everything.
- Why do you torture me?
1613
01:25:51,550 --> 01:25:54,700
Shall I ruin your happiness,
because I was born with a pretty face?
1614
01:25:54,740 --> 01:25:57,210
Am I to ruin yours,
because I happen to have power
1615
01:25:57,250 --> 01:25:58,750
to say what you perhaps feel?
1616
01:25:58,780 --> 01:26:00,910
- Tell her!
- Don't drive me too far!
1617
01:26:00,950 --> 01:26:03,210
- I'm tired of being my own rival.
- Hard to know.
1618
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:05,470
My secret marriage, that
can be annulled, I expect.
1619
01:26:05,500 --> 01:26:07,790
I want her love
for the poor fool than I am,
1620
01:26:07,860 --> 01:26:09,020
or not at all.
1621
01:26:09,390 --> 01:26:12,090
Oh, I'm going through with this.
I'll know one way or the other.
1622
01:26:12,870 --> 01:26:15,280
Now, go!....Tell her.
1623
01:26:15,480 --> 01:26:16,790
Let her chose one of us.
1624
01:26:17,570 --> 01:26:18,780
It will be you.
1625
01:26:19,670 --> 01:26:21,330
I hope so.
1626
01:26:33,070 --> 01:26:33,820
- Captain!
1627
01:26:36,570 --> 01:26:38,100
The Spanish fires are going out.
1628
01:26:41,030 --> 01:26:42,160
It begins.
1629
01:26:42,220 --> 01:26:44,140
I need a scout. Where's Cyrano.
1630
01:26:44,490 --> 01:26:45,280
Captain.
1631
01:26:45,850 --> 01:26:46,740
Let me go.
1632
01:26:46,780 --> 01:26:49,490
No, my boy, Cyrano knows
the terrain. He knows their lines.
1633
01:26:49,530 --> 01:26:51,550
So do I.
Please, allow me.
1634
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:56,070
Very well.
We must know from which
1635
01:26:56,110 --> 01:26:58,810
direction the advance comes.
Their weight and numbers.
1636
01:26:58,840 --> 01:26:59,560
I understand.
1637
01:27:11,940 --> 01:27:12,780
Roxane.
1638
01:27:13,430 --> 01:27:14,450
Cyrano.
1639
01:27:14,480 --> 01:27:15,930
Christian thinks...
1640
01:27:17,470 --> 01:27:19,190
Christian thinks you
ought to know that...
1641
01:27:19,220 --> 01:27:20,240
But I do know.
1642
01:27:20,770 --> 01:27:22,850
He still doubts what I
just told him, just now.
1643
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:23,860
I saw that.
1644
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:27,560
Yes, but,...was it true,
what you told him just now?
1645
01:27:27,590 --> 01:27:28,900
It was true.
1646
01:27:28,990 --> 01:27:32,270
I said that I should love him,
even if he were....
1647
01:27:33,020 --> 01:27:34,580
The word comes
hard before me?
1648
01:27:37,420 --> 01:27:38,860
Say it, I shall
not be hurt.
1649
01:27:39,370 --> 01:27:40,620
Ugly?
1650
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:42,130
Even, then
I should love him.
1651
01:27:43,500 --> 01:27:44,690
Disfigured.
1652
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:45,870
Or disfigured.
1653
01:27:46,480 --> 01:27:49,620
Even....grotesque.
1654
01:27:49,650 --> 01:27:51,350
How could he
every be grotesque,
1655
01:27:51,810 --> 01:27:52,950
ever to me?
1656
01:27:52,990 --> 01:27:55,580
But, you could love him so,
as much as?
1657
01:27:55,610 --> 01:27:56,790
Yes, and more.
1658
01:27:57,320 --> 01:27:58,320
Roxane...
1659
01:27:58,350 --> 01:27:59,300
(gunshot)
1660
01:27:59,340 --> 01:28:00,260
What is it?
1661
01:28:01,550 --> 01:28:02,600
Are they fighting?
1662
01:28:05,250 --> 01:28:06,510
What is happening?
1663
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:08,010
- The Spaniards advance,
1664
01:28:08,940 --> 01:28:09,930
but there is time.
1665
01:28:10,480 --> 01:28:12,370
- Where is Christian?
- At the parapet.
1666
01:28:12,820 --> 01:28:13,890
Oh, of course.
1667
01:28:14,930 --> 01:28:16,750
What is it
that you wish to tell me?
1668
01:28:16,780 --> 01:28:18,140
Roxane,...
1669
01:28:18,810 --> 01:28:21,690
believe me this is difficult,
and for once I lack words.
1670
01:28:24,690 --> 01:28:26,330
Christian asked me to...
1671
01:28:26,440 --> 01:28:27,850
He told me...
1672
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:38,220
Christian!
1673
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:42,970
To your places, gentlemen.
1674
01:28:43,970 --> 01:28:45,130
Is he dead?
1675
01:28:45,170 --> 01:28:46,260
No, but dying.
1676
01:28:46,300 --> 01:28:47,660
I will not let him!
1677
01:28:51,870 --> 01:28:54,530
Cyrano...did you?
1678
01:28:54,570 --> 01:28:56,610
Yes, my friend.
I have told her.
1679
01:28:58,350 --> 01:28:59,450
She loves you.
1680
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:02,190
Roxane.
1681
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:03,570
Yes, my darling.
1682
01:29:06,020 --> 01:29:07,320
Christian!
1683
01:29:08,170 --> 01:29:09,370
He is not dead?
1684
01:29:10,930 --> 01:29:11,830
Yes.
1685
01:29:12,310 --> 01:29:13,640
(gasp)
1686
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:22,890
Time you must go, now.
1687
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:25,860
Really, he is dead.
1688
01:29:25,890 --> 01:29:27,740
No one else
knew him but you.
1689
01:29:28,250 --> 01:29:29,630
Was he not a hero?
1690
01:29:29,670 --> 01:29:30,700
Yes, Roxane.
1691
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:33,340
A heart deeper
than we knew.
1692
01:29:33,380 --> 01:29:34,930
Yes, Roxane.
1693
01:29:35,010 --> 01:29:39,310
A poet.
A soul magnificently tender.
1694
01:29:41,750 --> 01:29:43,660
Yes, Roxane.
1695
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:46,740
But he is dead now.
1696
01:29:48,390 --> 01:29:50,030
(collapses sobbing)
1697
01:29:50,070 --> 01:29:51,230
Why, so am I.
1698
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:55,060
For I am dead
and my love mourns for me
1699
01:29:55,100 --> 01:29:56,550
and does not know.
1700
01:29:58,190 --> 01:29:59,530
Will never know.
1701
01:29:59,570 --> 01:30:00,990
(rapid gunfire)
1702
01:30:01,030 --> 01:30:02,410
(bugle calls)
1703
01:30:03,030 --> 01:30:04,030
Take her away quickly.
1704
01:30:05,670 --> 01:30:06,500
Wait.
1705
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:09,220
A letter over his heart.
1706
01:30:11,490 --> 01:30:12,850
(sobbing)
1707
01:30:16,740 --> 01:30:18,460
I have two deaths
to avenge, now,
1708
01:30:19,090 --> 01:30:22,670
Christian's...and my own.
1709
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:42,210
(fighting becomes intense)
1710
01:30:43,330 --> 01:30:46,820
(the Spanish army advances)
1711
01:30:49,450 --> 01:30:50,280
Fire!
1712
01:31:00,270 --> 01:31:02,810
Surrender or you die!
1713
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:51,720
(de Guiche)
Look! The signal!
1714
01:32:59,940 --> 01:33:00,940
Ah!
1715
01:33:07,070 --> 01:33:09,610
We fought. We died.
We fought again.
1716
01:33:09,750 --> 01:33:12,760
Who are these men who are
so fond of death, one Spaniard cried.
1717
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:14,440
On and on, they came.
1718
01:33:14,570 --> 01:33:17,210
Then, when all seemed lost,
we heard the trumpets
1719
01:33:17,250 --> 01:33:19,850
of our returning troops.
The battle was ours!
1720
01:33:20,690 --> 01:33:24,050
Ah, you have been fortunate,
Ms. de Bergerac, you have lived!
1721
01:33:24,090 --> 01:33:28,870
While we, we waste our youth.
There is no war and not hope for any.
1722
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:30,880
No hope for any?
1723
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:34,220
My fellow, I just realize,
we are both fools.
1724
01:33:34,630 --> 01:33:37,550
But mine is the greater folly,
for I am an older fool.
1725
01:33:38,170 --> 01:33:42,320
What is more......
Everything I told you was a lie.
1726
01:33:47,550 --> 01:33:49,680
Another satire
for the Gazette?
1727
01:33:49,710 --> 01:33:50,410
Yes.
1728
01:33:50,820 --> 01:33:53,480
Another glove flung
in the face of power?
1729
01:33:53,650 --> 01:33:55,400
Oh, why do you
do it, Cyrano?
1730
01:33:55,430 --> 01:33:57,860
- Why do you attack...
- Stupidity?
1731
01:33:57,880 --> 01:34:01,180
Deceit? Corruption?
I'm too old to change.
1732
01:34:01,370 --> 01:34:03,980
I'm an old dog
with nothing left but his teeth.
1733
01:34:04,010 --> 01:34:06,580
Ah, but teeth can be pulled.
That can be painful.
1734
01:34:10,440 --> 01:34:14,580
That insolent wretch.
That scoundrel de Bergerac.
1735
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:17,180
This time he's gone too far.
I swear it.
1736
01:34:17,210 --> 01:34:18,790
He's signed his death warrant.
1737
01:34:19,950 --> 01:34:21,730
And who will deliver it?
1738
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:25,040
His sword is still very
powerful, my friend.
1739
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:27,230
There are may ways
a man can die.
1740
01:34:27,990 --> 01:34:29,550
Who knows?
1741
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:31,430
He may meet
with an accident.
1742
01:34:32,550 --> 01:34:33,570
Soon.
1743
01:34:35,100 --> 01:34:38,710
(church chimes)
1744
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:46,060
But, uh, tell me, Madame.
1745
01:34:46,180 --> 01:34:50,830
How long will you continue
to remain here, forever in mourning?
1746
01:34:51,670 --> 01:34:52,570
Forever.
1747
01:34:53,060 --> 01:34:55,080
Was Christian all that?
1748
01:34:55,770 --> 01:34:57,400
If you knew him
you would not ask.
1749
01:34:57,950 --> 01:35:00,150
His last letter
is still in my heart.
1750
01:35:00,820 --> 01:35:04,770
And, uh, Cyrano?
Do you see him often?
1751
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:09,240
Every week. My old friend
takes the place of my Gazette.
1752
01:35:09,620 --> 01:35:11,320
He brings me all the news.
1753
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:14,940
Every Saturday under
that tree out there.
1754
01:35:14,980 --> 01:35:17,070
I wait for him embroidering.
1755
01:35:17,430 --> 01:35:20,240
The hour strikes.
I need not turn to look.
1756
01:35:20,570 --> 01:35:24,070
At the last stroke,
I hear his cane tapping the walk.
1757
01:35:24,100 --> 01:35:26,430
His satires have made
him many enemies.
1758
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:29,740
But, they still fear
that sword of his.
1759
01:35:30,330 --> 01:35:32,130
No one dare touch him.
1760
01:35:32,510 --> 01:35:33,670
Hm, that may be so.
1761
01:35:35,620 --> 01:35:38,160
It is not violence
I fear for him,
1762
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:42,560
but solitude, poverty.
Old gray Decembers
1763
01:35:42,590 --> 01:35:45,350
stealing on wolf's feet
into his darkened room.
1764
01:35:46,010 --> 01:35:48,230
It seems to me he's
worn the same old coat
1765
01:35:48,260 --> 01:35:49,610
for many months, now.
1766
01:35:49,650 --> 01:35:51,740
Eh, that is nothing
strange in this world.
1767
01:35:51,780 --> 01:35:53,820
You need not pity
him overmuch.
1768
01:35:53,860 --> 01:35:56,930
He lives his life,
his own life his own way,
1769
01:35:56,970 --> 01:36:00,300
thought, word and deed free.
1770
01:36:00,450 --> 01:36:01,610
My Lord Duke.
1771
01:36:01,750 --> 01:36:05,860
Oh, yes, I know.
I have all. He has nothing.
1772
01:36:06,370 --> 01:36:12,170
Nevertheless, today,
I should be proud to shake his hand.
1773
01:36:12,350 --> 01:36:14,000
Ah, well, adieu.
1774
01:36:14,670 --> 01:36:16,300
Will I ever see you again?
1775
01:36:16,340 --> 01:36:17,970
Come whenever you like.
1776
01:36:18,010 --> 01:36:19,610
Then, you have forgiven me.
1777
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:21,680
I am here.
1778
01:36:22,950 --> 01:36:25,380
Do you know?
When a man wins
1779
01:36:25,420 --> 01:36:29,750
everything in this world,
when he succeeds too much,
1780
01:36:29,790 --> 01:36:34,190
he feels, somehow,
a thousand small displeasures
1781
01:36:34,230 --> 01:36:38,560
with himself, whose whole sum
is not quite remorse
1782
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:45,570
but rather a sort of vague
disgust, dry illusions, pained regrets.
1783
01:36:45,870 --> 01:36:48,730
Yes, now and then,
I envy your Cyrano.
1784
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:50,860
The sentiment
does you honor.
1785
01:36:50,890 --> 01:36:52,250
(chuckling)
1786
01:36:59,350 --> 01:37:04,280
Madame, I must tell you,
it is true that no one has yet
1787
01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:06,490
dared to attack
your friend Cyrano.
1788
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:11,380
Nevertheless, at the theater
last night, I heard some things.
1789
01:37:12,260 --> 01:37:13,720
Keep him at home all you can.
1790
01:37:14,090 --> 01:37:17,330
Tomorrow when you see him,
tell him to be careful.
1791
01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:19,130
I thank you.
1792
01:37:32,050 --> 01:37:33,140
(Cyrano)
Good night, Ragueneau.
1793
01:37:33,180 --> 01:37:35,120
(Ragueneau)
Cyrano, you not leaving?
1794
01:37:35,150 --> 01:37:37,030
You will not have
dinner here with me?
1795
01:37:37,060 --> 01:37:38,860
(Cyrano)
My regrets. I have a magnificent
1796
01:37:38,900 --> 01:37:42,450
roast waiting for me, a rare wine,
a gift from my publisher.
1797
01:37:42,490 --> 01:37:43,890
(Ragueneau)
Fine, to be sure.
1798
01:37:44,650 --> 01:37:47,490
Uh, have you seen
Moliere's new play?
1799
01:37:47,530 --> 01:37:48,160
No.
1800
01:37:48,340 --> 01:37:49,650
Heh, ah, well....
1801
01:37:49,690 --> 01:37:50,580
What is it?
1802
01:37:50,610 --> 01:37:51,460
Well, he...
1803
01:37:51,500 --> 01:37:52,250
Speak.
1804
01:37:52,290 --> 01:37:55,220
He stole a scene
from you, word for word.
1805
01:37:55,250 --> 01:37:57,140
You know, "What the devil
was he doing there?"
1806
01:37:57,170 --> 01:37:57,730
That one.
1807
01:37:57,770 --> 01:37:59,040
He stole it, bodily.
1808
01:37:59,070 --> 01:38:01,300
Well, he showed
good taste.
1809
01:38:01,340 --> 01:38:03,020
It, uh, played well?
1810
01:38:03,060 --> 01:38:05,450
Oh, beautifully. They
laughed and laughed.
1811
01:38:05,480 --> 01:38:06,810
Oh, how they laughed.
1812
01:38:07,250 --> 01:38:08,560
Moliere has genius.
1813
01:38:09,370 --> 01:38:11,010
Christian had good looks.
1814
01:38:12,170 --> 01:38:13,610
With me, it was
always thus.
1815
01:38:16,050 --> 01:38:17,240
Good night, my friend.
1816
01:38:32,340 --> 01:38:32,950
(man)
Hold, there.
1817
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:33,950
(man)
You!
1818
01:38:35,650 --> 01:38:36,850
(Cyrano)
Are you addressing me?
1819
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:38,990
Yes, you, Monsieur
of the long nose.
1820
01:38:39,100 --> 01:38:40,000
Insolence.
1821
01:38:40,290 --> 01:38:41,990
- Foulmouthed scribbler.
- What?
1822
01:38:42,020 --> 01:38:43,440
- Lair, plagiarist!
- Liar.
1823
01:38:47,910 --> 01:38:49,660
(whistling to wagon)
1824
01:39:08,630 --> 01:39:10,920
(driver whips horses)
1825
01:39:27,570 --> 01:39:28,490
Doctor.
1826
01:39:29,930 --> 01:39:31,260
Why pretend?
1827
01:39:31,550 --> 01:39:32,910
It is very grave.
1828
01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:35,500
Keep him quiet
at all costs.
1829
01:39:35,540 --> 01:39:38,500
If he attempts
to rise, he will die.
1830
01:39:38,540 --> 01:39:39,810
Shhhh.
1831
01:39:43,220 --> 01:39:43,930
Thank you.
1832
01:39:44,980 --> 01:39:47,240
(door closes)
1833
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:55,820
(gate bell rings)
1834
01:39:59,820 --> 01:40:01,490
(gate opens)
1835
01:40:01,530 --> 01:40:03,170
Monsieur.
1836
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:03,860
Ah, Sister.
1837
01:40:09,810 --> 01:40:10,880
(gasp)
1838
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:12,350
What is the matter
with you?
1839
01:40:14,480 --> 01:40:15,900
Shall I tell you
something, Sister?
1840
01:40:16,540 --> 01:40:20,470
Yesterday, Friday, mind you,
I ate meat again.
1841
01:40:21,930 --> 01:40:23,000
Yes, I know.
1842
01:40:23,350 --> 01:40:25,080
That is why you
are so pale.
1843
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:27,930
Please come to me
to the refectory before you go.
1844
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,250
I'll make you a great
bowl of hot soup.
1845
01:40:30,280 --> 01:40:31,630
Of course, of course.
1846
01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:33,950
You're quite reasonable today.
1847
01:40:33,990 --> 01:40:36,120
Perhaps you'll convert me.
1848
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:38,260
Oh, no! Not for the world.
1849
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:40,690
Why, now I think of it,
that is so.
1850
01:40:41,070 --> 01:40:44,560
You, bursting with holiness,
and yet you never preach.
1851
01:40:45,470 --> 01:40:46,760
Astonishing.
1852
01:40:47,060 --> 01:40:49,100
And now I shall astonish you.
1853
01:40:49,690 --> 01:40:54,110
I'm going to let you
pray for me tonight, at Vespers.
1854
01:40:55,830 --> 01:40:58,700
Absolutely struck dumb, eh?
1855
01:41:02,550 --> 01:41:05,180
I did not wait for you
to say I might.
1856
01:41:14,930 --> 01:41:17,450
Now may the devil admire
me if never hope to see
1857
01:41:17,490 --> 01:41:19,570
the end of that embroidery.
1858
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:23,440
After 14 years,
late for the first time.
1859
01:41:23,480 --> 01:41:26,550
Yes.
Yes, maddening.
1860
01:41:27,330 --> 01:41:31,480
I was detained by
a visitor. Most unexpected.
1861
01:41:32,150 --> 01:41:33,660
An old friend of mine.
1862
01:41:34,540 --> 01:41:36,830
At least a very
old acquaintance.
1863
01:41:36,870 --> 01:41:38,320
Did you tell him
to go away?
1864
01:41:38,980 --> 01:41:40,410
For the time being, yes.
1865
01:41:40,440 --> 01:41:45,270
I said excuse me,
I see that it's Saturday,
1866
01:41:45,620 --> 01:41:48,200
I have a previous
engagement.
1867
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:49,620
One I cannot miss.
1868
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:52,340
Even for you.
1869
01:41:53,250 --> 01:41:55,310
Come back an hour from now.
1870
01:41:55,420 --> 01:41:59,170
Your friend will have to wait.
I shall not let you go till dark.
1871
01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:04,970
Perhaps a little before dark,
I must go.
1872
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:09,080
Oh, then tell me now
the court news. My Gazette.
1873
01:42:10,390 --> 01:42:14,190
Ah, yes, well, let me see.
1874
01:42:16,350 --> 01:42:20,840
Saturday, 19th, the King
fell ill after eight helpings of
1875
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:22,170
grape marmalade.
1876
01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:26,320
Grape marmalade will
no longer be served at court.
1877
01:42:28,190 --> 01:42:33,010
Sunday, the royal pulse
is now normal.
1878
01:42:34,630 --> 01:42:37,930
Monday, everyone was
talking about the success
1879
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:39,600
of Moliere's new play.
1880
01:42:40,830 --> 01:42:46,110
Tuesday, the King fell ill
after six helpings of marone glacee.
1881
01:42:47,910 --> 01:42:50,130
Marone glacee will no
longer be served at court.
1882
01:42:51,710 --> 01:42:55,700
Wednesday, the Compte de Firske
spoke to Madame de Monte Glas.
1883
01:42:56,500 --> 01:42:59,380
She said....no.
1884
01:43:01,480 --> 01:43:07,450
Thursday.... Nothing.
1885
01:43:07,490 --> 01:43:10,580
Friday, Madame de Monte Glas
said yes.
1886
01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:18,800
Saturday, 25th....
1887
01:43:19,450 --> 01:43:20,520
Cyrano!
1888
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:24,010
What is it?
Cyrano!
1889
01:43:28,660 --> 01:43:31,300
- Oh, no, no, it is nothing.
- What?
1890
01:43:31,750 --> 01:43:34,200
The old wound at Arras
sometimes...
1891
01:43:34,230 --> 01:43:36,980
- My poor friend.
- No, no, no, it is nothing.
1892
01:43:37,830 --> 01:43:39,350
It will soon be gone.
1893
01:43:41,010 --> 01:43:44,990
(gasp) There. 'Tis gone.
1894
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:48,480
We all have
our old wounds.
1895
01:43:49,020 --> 01:43:53,920
I have mine here,
under this faded scrap of writing.
1896
01:43:55,380 --> 01:43:57,340
It's hard to read now.
1897
01:43:58,370 --> 01:44:01,340
All for the blots
and tears.
1898
01:44:01,370 --> 01:44:02,560
His letter?
1899
01:44:03,480 --> 01:44:06,650
Did you not promise me,
that someday you would let me read it?
1900
01:44:07,090 --> 01:44:12,350
- This letter? You wish...?
- I do wish it....today.
1901
01:44:22,650 --> 01:44:24,230
Open it and read.
1902
01:44:49,700 --> 01:44:54,660
"Farewell, Roxane,
because today I die."
1903
01:44:54,690 --> 01:44:56,000
Aloud?
1904
01:44:57,180 --> 01:45:00,150
"I know that it will be today,
my own dearly beloved.
1905
01:45:01,630 --> 01:45:04,900
"Yet, my heart still so heavy
with love I have not told.
1906
01:45:06,440 --> 01:45:11,330
"And I shall die without telling you.
1907
01:45:11,900 --> 01:45:15,740
"No more shall my eyes
drink the sight of you like wine,
1908
01:45:16,230 --> 01:45:19,180
"never more with a look
that is a kiss,
1909
01:45:19,740 --> 01:45:22,430
"follow the sweet
grace of you."
1910
01:45:22,470 --> 01:45:24,400
How you read it.
His letter.
1911
01:45:24,440 --> 01:45:26,300
"I remember now the way you have
1912
01:45:26,340 --> 01:45:30,280
"of pushing back a lock of hair
with one hand from your forehead,
1913
01:45:30,860 --> 01:45:33,270
- "and my heart cries out..."
- His letter!
1914
01:45:33,310 --> 01:45:35,000
- "cries out and keeps crying."
1915
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:38,240
- You read it so...
- "Farewell, my dear, my dearest,"
1916
01:45:38,270 --> 01:45:40,650
- In a voice...
- "my own heart's own,"
1917
01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:44,230
- "my own treasure,"
- In such a voice!
- "my...love."
1918
01:45:44,260 --> 01:45:47,140
Yes, I remember hearing long ago.
1919
01:45:47,490 --> 01:45:52,210
"I am never away from you.
Even now I shall not leave you.
1920
01:45:53,110 --> 01:45:56,360
"In another world, I shall
still be that one who loves you,
1921
01:45:56,390 --> 01:46:00,110
"loves you beyond measure,
beyond..."
1922
01:46:09,180 --> 01:46:11,130
But, how can you read it now?
1923
01:46:14,420 --> 01:46:17,810
And all those 14 years
he has been the old friend
1924
01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:19,650
who came to me to be amusing.
1925
01:46:20,930 --> 01:46:23,170
- Roxane.
- It was you.
1926
01:46:23,910 --> 01:46:24,880
No, no, Roxane, no.
1927
01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:28,100
And I might have know it every time
that I heard you speak my name.
1928
01:46:28,130 --> 01:46:31,690
- No, it was not I.
- It was you!
- I swear.
1929
01:46:32,460 --> 01:46:34,810
- The letters. That was you.
- No.
1930
01:46:35,140 --> 01:46:38,960
- And the dear foolish words.
That was you.
- No.
1931
01:46:39,190 --> 01:46:43,290
- And the voice in the dark.
That was you.
- On my honor!
1932
01:46:43,330 --> 01:46:47,170
And the soul.
It was all you.
1933
01:46:47,270 --> 01:46:49,180
I never loved you.
1934
01:46:49,350 --> 01:46:50,850
Yes, you loved me.
1935
01:46:50,970 --> 01:46:52,740
Even now you love me.
1936
01:46:53,660 --> 01:46:55,610
(gasp)
No!
1937
01:46:55,650 --> 01:46:57,920
And twice you're great to know.
1938
01:46:57,950 --> 01:47:00,760
Oh, no, no, my own dear love,
I love you not.
1939
01:47:03,340 --> 01:47:05,840
Why were you silent
for so many years?
1940
01:47:06,580 --> 01:47:07,860
All the while.
1941
01:47:08,090 --> 01:47:11,110
Every night, and every day,
he gave me nothing.
1942
01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:13,120
You knew that.
1943
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:16,680
You knew in that letter
lying on my breast.
1944
01:47:17,940 --> 01:47:19,230
Your tears.
1945
01:47:20,580 --> 01:47:22,770
You knew they
were your tears.
1946
01:47:26,390 --> 01:47:28,270
The blood was his.
1947
01:47:29,370 --> 01:47:30,200
Cyrano!
1948
01:47:32,690 --> 01:47:34,320
Here! He's here.
1949
01:47:34,490 --> 01:47:36,270
Oh, what recklessness.
1950
01:47:36,310 --> 01:47:36,570
No.
1951
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:37,430
I knew it!
1952
01:47:37,490 --> 01:47:40,440
- Oh Madame he has killed
himself coming here.
- No. Shh.
1953
01:47:40,700 --> 01:47:42,220
That drink is, what is it?
1954
01:47:42,290 --> 01:47:45,510
Nothing. I did not
finish my Gazette.
1955
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:49,970
Saturday, 26th, an hour
or so before dinner
1956
01:47:50,540 --> 01:47:55,340
Ms. de Bergerac died,
foully murdered.
1957
01:47:55,690 --> 01:47:57,470
Cyrano, what have
they done to you?
1958
01:47:57,600 --> 01:47:59,540
How fate loves a jest.
1959
01:47:59,980 --> 01:48:03,000
Behold me ambushed,
taken unawares.
1960
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:08,830
My noble foe, a lackey.
My battlefield, a gutter.
1961
01:48:09,490 --> 01:48:10,950
It seems too logical.
1962
01:48:11,370 --> 01:48:13,040
They have missed everything,
1963
01:48:13,820 --> 01:48:15,290
even my death.
1964
01:48:16,330 --> 01:48:17,950
Sisters! Sisters!
1965
01:48:17,990 --> 01:48:21,350
No, do not go away.
I may not be here when you return.
1966
01:48:22,030 --> 01:48:23,760
You shall not die.
1967
01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:25,460
(sobbing)
I love you.
1968
01:48:25,490 --> 01:48:27,410
No, my lady,
it's not in the story.
1969
01:48:28,100 --> 01:48:29,900
When beauty said
I love you to the beast
1970
01:48:29,930 --> 01:48:32,990
all his ugliness changed
and dissolved, like magic.
1971
01:48:33,550 --> 01:48:37,370
But, you see,
I am still the same.
1972
01:48:37,440 --> 01:48:39,430
And I have
done this to you.
1973
01:48:39,470 --> 01:48:40,620
You? Why no.
1974
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:42,060
All my fault, mine!
1975
01:48:42,100 --> 01:48:43,320
On the contrary.
1976
01:48:44,060 --> 01:48:47,080
I have never know womanhood
in its sweetness, but for you.
1977
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:50,750
My mother did not
like to look at me.
1978
01:48:52,050 --> 01:48:53,530
I never had a sister.
1979
01:48:54,880 --> 01:49:01,130
Later, I feared those sweethearts
with mockery behind her smile.
1980
01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:06,150
But, because of you,
I have had across my life
1981
01:49:06,930 --> 01:49:10,600
one whispering, silken gown.
1982
01:49:12,780 --> 01:49:15,200
I never loved but
one man in my life.
1983
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:18,680
I have lost him, twice.
1984
01:49:19,660 --> 01:49:23,540
(sobbing)
1985
01:49:23,570 --> 01:49:27,890
I would not have you mourning
any less that good, noble Christian.
1986
01:49:28,980 --> 01:49:32,570
But, perhaps, I ask only this,
1987
01:49:34,100 --> 01:49:36,370
when the great cold
gathers around my bones,
1988
01:49:37,770 --> 01:49:42,590
you may give a double
meaning to your widow's weeds.
1989
01:49:43,910 --> 01:49:50,900
The tears you let fall for him,
may for a little, be my tears.
1990
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:53,040
Oh, my love!
1991
01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:58,400
No, not here.
Not lying down.
1992
01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:01,300
Let no one help me.
No one need help me.
1993
01:50:06,310 --> 01:50:07,430
It is coming.
1994
01:50:08,260 --> 01:50:11,460
I feel already shod with marble.
1995
01:50:12,720 --> 01:50:13,950
Gloved with lead.
1996
01:50:14,730 --> 01:50:16,700
Very well,
let the old fellow come now.
1997
01:50:17,190 --> 01:50:19,600
He shall find me
on my feet.
1998
01:50:21,670 --> 01:50:23,120
Sword in hand.
1999
01:50:23,160 --> 01:50:24,110
Cyrano!
2000
01:50:24,500 --> 01:50:25,890
He'd delirious.
2001
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:28,000
I see him now.
2002
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:28,700
He grins.
2003
01:50:28,740 --> 01:50:30,750
He is looking at my nose!
2004
01:50:30,790 --> 01:50:31,820
That skeleton.
2005
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:33,730
You there.
2006
01:50:33,970 --> 01:50:34,670
Who are you?
2007
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:36,950
A hundred against one, eh?
2008
01:50:37,300 --> 01:50:40,020
I know them now,
my ancient enemies.
2009
01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:40,960
Falsehood, there!
2010
01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:42,470
There, Prejudice!
2011
01:50:42,490 --> 01:50:44,100
Compromise, Cowardice.
2012
01:50:44,580 --> 01:50:47,160
What's that?
Surrender? No, never!
2013
01:50:47,190 --> 01:50:48,430
Never!
2014
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:50,820
Ah, you too, Vanity.
2015
01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:54,180
I knew you would
overthrow me in the end.
2016
01:50:54,210 --> 01:50:57,310
No, I fight, I fight on,
I fight....ow!
2017
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:01,000
(gasping)
2018
01:51:06,540 --> 01:51:08,550
All my laurels
you have riven away.
2019
01:51:10,290 --> 01:51:11,770
And my roses.
2020
01:51:12,940 --> 01:51:15,600
Yet, in spite of you,
there is one crown
2021
01:51:15,630 --> 01:51:16,980
I made away with me.
2022
01:51:17,020 --> 01:51:20,380
And tonight when I
enter before God,
2023
01:51:21,850 --> 01:51:27,140
my salute shall sweep away
the stars from the blue threshold.
2024
01:51:28,310 --> 01:51:33,240
One thing without stain,
unspotted from the world,
2025
01:51:34,240 --> 01:51:40,610
in spite of doom, mine own,
...and that is...
2026
01:51:43,220 --> 01:51:51,220
my...white...plume...

In seventeenth-century Paris, poet and supreme swordsman Cyrano de Bergerac (José Ferrer) stops a play from being shown because he ostensibly cannot stand the bombastic style of the principal actor, Montfleury (Arthur Blake). An annoyed aristocratic fop, the Vicomte de Valvert (Albert Cavens), provokes him into a duel by tritely insulting Cyrano's enormous nose. Cyrano first mocks his lack of wit, improvising numerous inventive ways in which Valvert could have phrased it (much to the amusement of the audience). He then composes a ballade for the occasion on the spot and recites it during the sword fight. With the last line, he stabs his opponent.
Cyrano's friend Le Bret (Morris Carnovsky), Captain of the Gascony Guards, warns him he has made powerful enemies of his victim's friends, but he is unconcerned. When Le Bret presses him to reveal the real reason he hates Montfleury, Cyrano admits that he became jealous when he saw the actor smiling at his beautiful cousin Roxane (Mala Powers). He confesses that he is in love with her, but harbors no hope of it being returned because of his nose. When he receives a request from Roxane to see her in the morning, he is finally emboldened to act.
Then pastry chef and fellow poet Ragueneau (Lloyd Corrigan) approaches him for help. Ragueneau has learned that a nobleman he had mocked with his verses, the Comte De Guiche (Ralph Clanton), has hired a hundred ruffians to teach him a lesson. Cyrano escorts him, kills eight of the horde, and drives off the rest.
The next day, before he can tell Roxane of his feelings, she informs him that she has fallen in love with a handsome guardsman, Christian de Neuvillette (William Prince), though she has not even spoken to him. Cyrano hides his devastation and agrees to help her.
Cyrano befriends the young man, who is in Cyrano's guards' unit, and discovers that he is infatuated with Roxane, but is too inept with words to woo her. To help him, Cyrano composes Christian's love letters to Roxane, which she finds irresistible. Later, Christian decides he wants no more help and tries to speak to Roxane face to face, but fails miserably and she re-enters her house in an angry huff. Cyrano, hiding in the bushes, comes to his rescue, but this time by imitating Christian's voice and speaking to Roxane from under her balcony. He is so eloquent that he (unintentionally) wins a kiss for Christian from Roxane.
When the arrogant Comte De Guiche, who is also wooing Roxane, pressures her to marry him, Cyrano delays him long enough for her to wed Christian instead. Furious, De Guiche, Christian's commander, orders him to join his unit immediately for a war against the Spanish, preventing the couple from spending their wedding night together.
With Cyrano under his command as well, De Guiche earns the swordsman's respect by his conduct in the war. From the field, Cyrano sends Roxane letters every day, supposedly written by Christian. Roxane visits her husband in camp and tells him that she now has fallen in love with him not merely for his looks but because of his words, and would love him even if he were ugly. Realizing that she really loves Cyrano, Christian gets his rival to agree to tell Roxane the truth and let her decide between them. But before the opportunity arises, Christian volunteers for a dangerous mission and is fatally wounded, silencing Cyrano.
Roxane enters a convent in mourning. Years pass, with Cyrano visiting Roxane weekly, having retired from the military and writing satirical articles mocking the nobility. De Guiche, who has also befriended her and has come to respect Cyrano, has overheard a courtier plotting against Cyrano. De Guiche warns Roxane that Cyrano's life may be in danger. One night, Cyrano is lured into an ambush; the poet is run down by a carriage. Near death, he hides his injuries and goes to keep his appointment with Roxane for the last time. His secret love for Roxane is finally revealed when he recites from memory the last of his love letters, which she has kept, but it is too late. Cyrano first slips into delirium, then dies, leaving Roxane to mourn a second time.

(applause continues)

00:02:26,210 --> 00:02:29,890
<i>Thrice happy he who hides
from pomp and power</i>
4
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:33,590
<i>in sylvan shade
or solitary bower</i>
5
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,630
<i>where balmy zephyrs
fan his burning cheeks...</i>
6
00:02:37,660 --> 00:02:41,460
- Clown! The king of clowns!
Leave the stage at once!
7
00:02:43,970 --> 00:02:44,620
- Who is it?
8
00:02:44,650 --> 00:02:47,570
It's Cyrano.
I was afraid he'd do this.
9
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,250
<i>Thrice happy he
who hides from pomp and power...</i>
10
00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:54,910
- Wretch! Did I not forbid
you to appear this month?
11
00:02:57,940 --> 00:02:59,260
- Let's be quiet.
- Quiet!
12
00:03:00,190 --> 00:03:01,380
- Go on Montfleury.
13
00:03:04,270 --> 00:03:06,400
<i>Thrice happy he who...</i>
14
00:03:06,430 --> 00:03:07,630
- He who, indeed.
15
00:03:07,660 --> 00:03:10,730
- Donkeys say rather Hee-Haw!
16
00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:17,790
Begone! Or must I come and
help you off the stage myself?
17
00:03:21,130 --> 00:03:24,000
What! Still there?
18
00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:28,220
<i>Where balmy zephyrs
fan his burning cheeks... </i>
19
00:03:28,250 --> 00:03:32,050
Fat swine, if you dare breathe
on balmy zephyr more
20
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,640
I'll fan your cheeks
for you!
21
00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:36,480
Monsieur, won't you all
protect me?
22
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,090
- Proceed, proceed.
- Go on.
23
00:03:38,130 --> 00:03:40,880
Sir, I will not allow you
to insult me in this manner.
24
00:03:40,910 --> 00:03:43,520
Really?
What manner would you prefer?
25
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:44,850
Quiet, down there!
26
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,940
- We'll tolerate
no more of this.
27
00:03:47,870 --> 00:03:49,720
Go on with the play,
Montfleury.
28
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:52,380
(shouting criticisms)
29
00:03:52,410 --> 00:03:54,480
Unless these gentlemen
retain your seats
30
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,790
my sword may
bite their ribbons.
31
00:03:56,830 --> 00:03:58,650
Who is this braggart?
32
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,070
My cousin, sir.
33
00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:04,710
Well, Montfleury,
still no exit?
34
00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:06,930
- Very well then,
I enter
35
00:04:06,970 --> 00:04:11,740
with knife, to carve
this fat, stuffed goose.
36
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:14,800
(ominous music begins)
37
00:04:14,830 --> 00:04:18,080
(crowd clamors)
38
00:04:20,030 --> 00:04:22,170
I pray, do not crowd
my scabbard here.
39
00:04:22,210 --> 00:04:24,320
She may put her
tongue out at you.

00:04:24,350 --> 00:04:27,140
(shouted recriminations)
41
00:04:29,870 --> 00:04:30,990
Silence.
42
00:04:31,910 --> 00:04:33,830
I say be silent!
43
00:04:35,450 --> 00:04:38,260
And I offer one universal
challenge to you all:
44
00:04:38,460 --> 00:04:41,410
Will all who wish to die,
please raise their hands.
45
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,360
Approach, young heroes.
I will take your names.
46
00:04:45,140 --> 00:04:47,830
To the first man who falls
I'll build a monument.
47
00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:49,710
Who will head the list?
48
00:04:50,010 --> 00:04:50,780
You, sir?
49
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,000
No.
50
00:04:52,830 --> 00:04:53,610
You?
51
00:04:54,470 --> 00:04:55,170
No, no.
52
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,770
Anyone?
53
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,600
Anyone at all?
54
00:05:01,110 --> 00:05:03,550
Not one...name?
55
00:05:04,260 --> 00:05:06,420
Not one finger?
56
00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:10,260
Very well then,
I go on.
57
00:05:16,130 --> 00:05:18,810
Attend to me, Full Moon.
58
00:05:21,340 --> 00:05:24,190
I clap my hands three times, thus.
59
00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:26,740
(three claps)
60
00:05:26,770 --> 00:05:30,320
At the third, you will...
eclipse yourself.
61
00:05:30,490 --> 00:05:31,390
Ready!
62
00:05:32,110 --> 00:05:32,910
One.
63
00:05:34,010 --> 00:05:34,900
(clap)
64
00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:36,070
How dare you.
65
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:37,210
I demand!
66
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,070
I insist.
67
00:05:38,110 --> 00:05:40,150
- I call upon all the nobles...
- Two!
68
00:05:41,010 --> 00:05:42,080
(clap)
69
00:05:42,110 --> 00:05:43,090
This is an outrage.
70
00:05:43,130 --> 00:05:44,040
You hear, an outrage.
71
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:46,620
Nothing on earth
will move me from this stage.
72
00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:48,800
Three!
73
00:05:49,570 --> 00:05:49,910
(clap)
74
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:55,410
(laughter)
75
00:05:56,260 --> 00:05:59,210
Fair ladies and noble gentlemen...
- Boo!
76
00:05:59,250 --> 00:06:02,560
(laughter)
77
00:06:02,950 --> 00:06:04,210
But, Monsieur de Bergerac,
78
00:06:04,250 --> 00:06:07,490
why have you done this
to our Montfleury, an admirable actor?
79
00:06:07,530 --> 00:06:10,090
I have two reasons,
either one conclusive.
80
00:06:10,670 --> 00:06:12,800
First, he is an
abominable actor,
81
00:06:12,830 --> 00:06:15,870
who mouths his verse
and moans his tragedy.
82
00:06:16,350 --> 00:06:17,630
Second,....
83
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:20,970
Well, that's my secret.
84
00:06:22,530 --> 00:06:25,280
But...
But you've closed the play!
85
00:06:25,310 --> 00:06:26,880
It is not a very good play.
86
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:28,970
Huh!
And of their money?
87
00:06:29,010 --> 00:06:31,080
Possibly you would like
that returned to these good people.
88
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:31,960
Yes?
89
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,360
Yes.
90
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:35,830
Here,...catch!
91
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:37,920
(crowd murmurs)
92
00:06:38,410 --> 00:06:41,960
Well, Monsieur, you are hereby
authorized to close our play every night.
93
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,200
On these terms.
94
00:06:43,230 --> 00:06:43,740
(laughter)
95
00:06:43,780 --> 00:06:46,400
Ladies and gentlemen,
your money will be returned.
96
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,250
Kindly pass out, quietly.
97
00:06:48,290 --> 00:06:50,030
Goodnight, goodnight.
98
00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:53,220
(crowd accepts
in good spirits)
99
00:06:55,740 --> 00:06:57,120
(until...)
100
00:06:59,530 --> 00:07:02,610
Your cousin is an
extraordinary man, Madame.
101
00:07:02,650 --> 00:07:04,080
Oh, I agree.
102
00:07:04,410 --> 00:07:08,550
Soldier, poet, philosopher,
musician, playwright.
103
00:07:08,580 --> 00:07:09,570
All those?
104
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,360
Yes, and the best
swordsman in Paris.
105
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,310
Really?
106
00:07:14,340 --> 00:07:17,060
Now, I should have thought
the Vicomte here had that honor.
107
00:07:17,310 --> 00:07:21,360
Tell me, Madame, that
comic mask, that nose,
108
00:07:21,390 --> 00:07:23,300
presently he will take it off?
109
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:25,950
No, Monsieur, he keeps it.
110
00:07:26,450 --> 00:07:29,350
And heaven help
the man who smiles.
111
00:07:29,850 --> 00:07:31,060
Good night.
112
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,880
Oh, Monsieur!
113
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,980
Monsieur!
114
00:07:40,020 --> 00:07:42,710
Uh, when do you leave Paris?
115
00:07:43,210 --> 00:07:44,100
Sir?
116
00:07:44,250 --> 00:07:46,280
Why, after what you've
just done to Montfleury,
117
00:07:46,310 --> 00:07:48,750
did you not know that
the Compte de Guiche was his patron?
118
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:50,190
Who's yours?
119
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:52,140
No one.
120
00:07:52,170 --> 00:07:52,940
No one?
121
00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:53,870
No patron?
122
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:54,630
I said not.
123
00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:56,900
But the Compte de Guiche
has a long arm.
124
00:07:56,930 --> 00:07:58,900
Mine is longer
by three feet of steel.
125
00:07:59,530 --> 00:08:00,180
Yes, but..
126
00:08:00,860 --> 00:08:02,160
but, what a scare...
127
00:08:02,190 --> 00:08:02,990
You may go now.
128
00:08:03,020 --> 00:08:04,510
- but...
- You may go.
129
00:08:05,810 --> 00:08:08,620
Well, tell me,
why are you staring at my nose?
130
00:08:08,650 --> 00:08:10,160
Oh, I was not staring.
131
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:11,630
Does it astonish you?
132
00:08:11,660 --> 00:08:13,920
Why n...Why no, I've been careful
not to look.
133
00:08:13,950 --> 00:08:15,510
Oh, and why not, if you please?
134
00:08:15,550 --> 00:08:16,730
It disgusts you, then?
135
00:08:16,770 --> 00:08:17,880
But, no, I just...
136
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,700
Does its color appear
to you unwholesome?
137
00:08:19,730 --> 00:08:20,480
By no means.
138
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,310
Then, possibly you find it
just a trifle large?
139
00:08:22,340 --> 00:08:24,500
No, small, very small, tiny!
140
00:08:24,530 --> 00:08:25,640
Infinitesimal!
141
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,960
What?
You accuse me of absurdity?
142
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,730
Small, my nose?
Why magnificent, my nose!
143
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,900
You pug, you knob,
you button head,
144
00:08:34,930 --> 00:08:37,170
know that I glory
in this nose of mine!
145
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,400
For a great nose
indicates a great man,
146
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:45,440
congenial, courteous,
intellectual, virile, courageous.
147
00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:48,050
Whilst that face of yours,
148
00:08:48,370 --> 00:08:54,070
that blank, inglorious concavity
which my right hand finds on top of you,
149
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:59,630
is as devoid of pride, of poetry,
of soul, of picturesqueness,
150
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:04,810
of contour, of character,
of nose, in short,
151
00:09:04,850 --> 00:09:09,740
as that which is at the bottom of
that limp spine of yours my left foot...
- Oh, help!
152
00:09:09,780 --> 00:09:11,550
(laughter)
153
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:13,840
Presently, this fellow
will grow tiresome.
154
00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:16,590
Oh, he blows his horn.
155
00:09:17,330 --> 00:09:19,800
- Well, will no one
put him in his place?
156
00:09:20,270 --> 00:09:22,660
If you would all me.
Observe.
157
00:09:25,090 --> 00:09:31,260
Monsieur, your nose,
your nose is rather large.
158
00:09:34,450 --> 00:09:35,400
Rather?
159
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,350
Oh, well.
160
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:37,620
Is that all?
161
00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:38,540
Well, of course, you...
162
00:09:38,570 --> 00:09:40,400
Ah, no young sir, you're too simple.
163
00:09:40,430 --> 00:09:42,620
Why, you might have
said a great many things.
164
00:09:42,650 --> 00:09:44,800
Why waste your opportunity?
165
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:45,860
For example, thus...
166
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:47,450
Aggressive---
167
00:09:47,490 --> 00:09:51,040
I, sir, if that great nose were mine,
I would have it amputated on the spot.
168
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:52,710
Practical---
169
00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:56,570
How do you drink with such a nose.
You must have had a cup made especially.
170
00:09:56,850 --> 00:09:57,880
Descriptive---
171
00:09:57,910 --> 00:10:00,570
'Tis a rock, a crag, a cape.
172
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,510
A cape, say rather, a peninsula.
173
00:10:05,890 --> 00:10:06,990
Inquisitive---
174
00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:11,400
Uh, what is that receptacle,
a razor case or a portfolio?
175
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,680
Kindly---
176
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,840
Ah, do you love the little birds so much
that when they come and sing to you,
177
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,690
you give them this to perch on?
178
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,570
Cautious---
179
00:10:20,610 --> 00:10:24,120
Take care. A weight like that
might make you top-heavy.
180
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,250
Eloquent---
181
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,510
When it blows the typhoon howls
and the clouds darken.
182
00:10:29,580 --> 00:10:30,400
Dramatic---
183
00:10:30,430 --> 00:10:34,690
When it bleeds...the Red Sea.
184
00:10:35,540 --> 00:10:36,530
Simple---
185
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:39,640
Eh, when do they
unveil the monument?
186
00:10:40,020 --> 00:10:40,900
Military---
187
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:43,510
Beware, a secret weapon!
188
00:10:44,290 --> 00:10:45,620
Enterprising---
189
00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:48,080
What a sigh for some perfumer!
190
00:10:48,490 --> 00:10:49,300
Respectful---
191
00:10:49,330 --> 00:10:52,050
Uh sir, I recognize in you
a man of parts,
192
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,740
a man of...prominence.
193
00:10:54,770 --> 00:10:56,500
Or, Literary---
194
00:10:56,530 --> 00:10:59,360
Was this the nose
that launched a thousand ships?
195
00:11:00,010 --> 00:11:02,850
These, my dear sir, are things
you might have said had you
196
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,690
some tinge of letters or of wit
to color your discourse.
197
00:11:05,810 --> 00:11:07,970
Bit wit not so.
You never had an atom.
198
00:11:08,270 --> 00:11:14,480
And of letters, you need
but three to write you down, a..s..s.
199
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:16,530
Ass.
200
00:11:16,570 --> 00:11:18,040
- (laughter)
- You, sir!
201
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,600
Dolt! Bumpkin! Fool!
202
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:26,620
How do you do, and I,
Cyrano Savinien Hercule de Bergerac.
203
00:11:26,650 --> 00:11:28,050
Vicomte, come.
204
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,650
Such arrogance.
This scarecrow who...
205
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:31,850
Look at him!
206
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,120
No ribbons. No lace.
Not even gloves!
207
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,700
True. I carry my adornments
only on my soul.
208
00:11:39,740 --> 00:11:41,860
Decked with deeds
instead of ribbons.
209
00:11:41,890 --> 00:11:43,420
Mantled in my good name,
210
00:11:43,460 --> 00:11:45,350
and crowned with a
white plume of freedom.
211
00:11:45,380 --> 00:11:46,130
But..
212
00:11:46,170 --> 00:11:47,510
But, I have no gloves.
213
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:48,630
A pity, too.
214
00:11:48,670 --> 00:11:51,630
I had one, the last one of an old pair,
and lost that.
215
00:11:51,660 --> 00:11:53,250
Very careless of me.
216
00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:55,750
Some gentleman offered me
an impertinence.
217
00:11:55,790 --> 00:11:59,840
I left it in his face.
218
00:11:59,870 --> 00:12:00,840
So be it!
219
00:12:02,110 --> 00:12:05,050
You shall die exquisitely
220
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,160
Oh, a poet.
221
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,640
Oh, yes, a poet if you will.
222
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:11,510
So, uh, while we fight,
I'll improvise a ballad for you,
223
00:12:11,540 --> 00:12:15,270
and as I end the refrain,
...skhrch!...thrust home.
224
00:12:15,310 --> 00:12:16,280
Will you?
225
00:12:17,180 --> 00:12:18,130
I will.
226
00:12:21,820 --> 00:12:23,420
(excited crowd)
227
00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:26,890
Ballad au Duel
at the Theatre de Burgoyne
228
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,320
between de Bergerac,
and uh.....a barbarian.
229
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,240
What do you mean by that?
230
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,000
Oh, that?
231
00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:34,960
The title.
232
00:12:34,990 --> 00:12:36,570
(laughter)
233
00:12:36,610 --> 00:12:38,200
Stop. Let me choose my rhyme.
234
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:47,640
So. Here we go.
235
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:50,070
Lightly I toss my hat away.
236
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:55,440
Languidly o'er my arm let fall
the cloak that covers my bright array.
237
00:12:55,510 --> 00:13:00,770
Then, out swords,
and to work withal.
238
00:13:02,660 --> 00:13:05,720
A Lancelot in his lady's hall,
239
00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:10,580
A Spartacus at the Hippodrome,
240
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,340
I dally a while with you..
241
00:13:13,380 --> 00:13:14,750
you jackall.
242
00:13:32,810 --> 00:13:34,360
Just as I end the refrain,
243
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,380
thrust home!
244
00:13:51,290 --> 00:13:54,220
Where shall I skewer my peacock again?
245
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,160
Nay, better for you
to have shunned this brawl.
246
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,010
Here in the heart
or your ribbons, gay,
247
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,610
in the belly
'neath you silken shawl?
248
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,130
Now, come my points floats,
light as the foam
249
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,640
ready to drive you
back to the wall,
250
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:20,030
and then as I end the refrain,
251
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,440
thrust home.
252
00:14:21,930 --> 00:14:23,210
Oh, for a rhyme.
253
00:14:23,580 --> 00:14:25,060
Why, your fight is fading.
254
00:14:25,420 --> 00:14:26,040
You break.
255
00:14:26,350 --> 00:14:26,970
You cower.
256
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:27,600
You cringe.
257
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:28,200
You crawl.
258
00:14:29,310 --> 00:14:30,740
How can I tell
you're allowed to say
259
00:14:30,780 --> 00:14:31,750
something to turn on my head
260
00:14:31,790 --> 00:14:32,720
forestall.....
261
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:33,660
Life with a tunny
262
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:34,970
death with a scall.
263
00:14:35,010 --> 00:14:36,760
Something to turn on my fancy roam,
264
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,670
free for a time till the rhyme's recall,
265
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,620
then as I end the refrain,
266
00:14:40,650 --> 00:14:41,620
thrust home!
267
00:14:43,810 --> 00:14:44,670
Refrain.
268
00:14:45,550 --> 00:14:48,960
Prince,
pray God that is Lord of all,
269
00:14:48,990 --> 00:14:50,840
pardon you soul,
270
00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:54,190
for your time has come.
271
00:14:56,860 --> 00:14:58,820
Pass! I fling you aslant, asprawl.
272
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:00,590
Then as I end the refrain,
273
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,680
thrust home!
274
00:15:41,820 --> 00:15:45,390
(shouts of hurray
and congratulation)
275
00:15:47,130 --> 00:15:49,470
Ladies and gentlemen,
please, please,
276
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:50,790
not until the performance is over.
277
00:15:51,070 --> 00:15:51,980
Close the house.
278
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:52,820
A strike,
279
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,340
but leave the lights.
280
00:15:54,380 --> 00:15:56,070
We rehearse the new
farce tonight.
281
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,240
Wait.
282
00:16:04,110 --> 00:16:05,570
You have only to watch a fight,
283
00:16:05,610 --> 00:16:07,530
or have you ruined
if you listen to them.
284
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:11,570
Think of the enemies you've made,
285
00:16:11,610 --> 00:16:14,050
Montfleury, the Vicomte,
if he lives,
286
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,380
all those foppish marquis,
the Comte de Guiche.
287
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:18,970
That politician.
288
00:16:19,010 --> 00:16:21,910
He's the Cardinal's nephew.
There's power there!
289
00:16:21,950 --> 00:16:23,330
And power here.
290
00:16:23,370 --> 00:16:24,680
Young fool!
291
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,540
Take an example from me.
292
00:16:26,570 --> 00:16:29,810
20 years a captain,
while others who know only
293
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,750
how to deploy their
forces at court
294
00:16:31,780 --> 00:16:33,890
now dangle a marshal's baton.
295
00:16:33,930 --> 00:16:37,360
Well, uh, someday
I will avenge you, too.
296
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,530
Impossible.
Come on, let's go to dinner.
297
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,830
Dinner?
No, not I.
298
00:16:41,860 --> 00:16:42,540
Why not?
299
00:16:42,580 --> 00:16:44,530
Because I have no money.
300
00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:46,150
But, the purse of gold.
301
00:16:46,180 --> 00:16:48,140
Farewell paternal pension.
302
00:16:48,180 --> 00:16:51,430
And you have
until the first of next month?
303
00:16:51,470 --> 00:16:52,310
Nothing.
304
00:16:53,140 --> 00:16:54,460
What a fool.
305
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:56,770
Yes, but, what a moment.
306
00:16:56,810 --> 00:16:57,670
- Pardon, Monsieur.
307
00:17:00,010 --> 00:17:01,770
A man ought
never to go hungry.
308
00:17:02,690 --> 00:17:04,150
I have everything here.
309
00:17:05,490 --> 00:17:06,360
Please.
310
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,080
My dear child, I cannot bend this Gascon
pride of mine to accept such a kindness.
311
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:11,820
But, I...
312
00:17:12,910 --> 00:17:15,810
Yet, for fear that
I may give you pain if I refuse,
313
00:17:16,550 --> 00:17:18,190
I will take something.
314
00:17:19,630 --> 00:17:20,660
A grape.
315
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:25,160
One only.
316
00:17:25,820 --> 00:17:27,170
And a glass of water.
317
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,650
No, clear.
318
00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:35,750
And, uh,...half a macaroon.
319
00:17:37,010 --> 00:17:38,100
Nothing more?
320
00:17:39,060 --> 00:17:39,920
Why, yes.
321
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,230
Your hand to kiss.
322
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,510
Thank you, sir.
323
00:18:02,090 --> 00:18:03,100
Good night.
324
00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:10,290
Idiot.
325
00:18:13,170 --> 00:18:13,890
Dinner.
326
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,160
Drink.
327
00:18:18,830 --> 00:18:19,720
Desert.
328
00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:24,670
Mon Dieux, I was hungry,
abominably.
329
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:26,320
Tell me.
330
00:18:26,590 --> 00:18:27,440
Anything.
331
00:18:27,790 --> 00:18:29,920
Why to you hate
this Montfleury?
332
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:32,860
A very bad actor.
333
00:18:32,890 --> 00:18:34,860
Ah, come now, the real
reason, the truth.
334
00:18:36,610 --> 00:18:39,600
That fat goat who cannot hold
his belly in his arms,
335
00:18:39,630 --> 00:18:42,590
still dreams of being
sweetly dangerous among the women.
336
00:18:43,230 --> 00:18:47,610
Sighs and languishes, making sheep's
eyes out of his great frog's face.
337
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:52,750
I hate him ever since one day
he dared smile upon....
338
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,220
Oh, my friend, I seemed to see over
some flower a great snail crawling.
339
00:19:00,090 --> 00:19:01,180
Eh, what?
340
00:19:02,170 --> 00:19:03,340
Is it possible?
341
00:19:04,890 --> 00:19:06,180
For me to love?
342
00:19:08,770 --> 00:19:09,660
I love.
343
00:19:10,370 --> 00:19:12,570
Whom?
May I know?
344
00:19:12,610 --> 00:19:13,620
Whom I love?
345
00:19:15,070 --> 00:19:16,000
Think a moment.
346
00:19:16,210 --> 00:19:17,280
Think of me.
347
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,670
Me, whom the plainest
woman would despise.
348
00:19:21,030 --> 00:19:25,010
Me, with this nose of mine that
marches on before me by a quarter of an hour.
349
00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:28,000
Whom shall I love.
350
00:19:29,890 --> 00:19:34,930
Why, of course, it must be the
woman in the world most beautiful.
351
00:19:35,780 --> 00:19:37,170
Most beautiful?
352
00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:42,920
In these eyes of mine....
beyond compare.
353
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:44,070
Wait.
354
00:19:44,510 --> 00:19:46,440
Your cousin, Roxane.
355
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,300
Yes.
356
00:19:50,170 --> 00:19:51,080
Roxane.
357
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,810
Well?
358
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,020
Why not?
If you love her, tell her so.
359
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,170
My old friend.
360
00:20:01,150 --> 00:20:03,550
Look at me and tell me how
much hope remains for me
361
00:20:03,580 --> 00:20:04,970
with this protuberance.
362
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,360
Ahhh, I have no more illusions.
363
00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:12,140
Now and then I may grow tender
walking alone in the blue of evening
364
00:20:12,170 --> 00:20:16,130
through some garden fresh with flowers
after the benediction of the rain.
365
00:20:16,980 --> 00:20:20,930
My poor big devil of a nose
inhales April.
366
00:20:21,460 --> 00:20:26,950
And I follow with my eyes where
some boy with a girl upon his arm,
367
00:20:27,510 --> 00:20:32,130
passes a patch of silver...
and I feel somehow....
368
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,490
I wish I had a woman, too,
369
00:20:36,670 --> 00:20:41,660
walking with me under the moon,
and holding my arm and smiling.
370
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:44,240
Then I dream.
371
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:46,140
I forget.
372
00:20:49,510 --> 00:20:53,210
And then I see the shadow
of my profile on the wall.
373
00:20:54,750 --> 00:20:56,050
My friend.
374
00:20:57,180 --> 00:20:58,230
My friend.
375
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,370
I have my bitter days,
knowing myself so ugly, so alone.
376
00:21:03,410 --> 00:21:05,260
Ah, but your wit, your courage,
377
00:21:05,540 --> 00:21:08,170
why that poor child who just
now offered you your dinner,
378
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,710
your saw it, her eyes
did not avoid you.
379
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,920
That is true.
380
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,930
Well, then, Roxane herself,
watching your duel, pale.
381
00:21:18,970 --> 00:21:19,480
Pale?
382
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,670
Yes, her lips parted.
Her hand at her breast, thus.
383
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,020
I saw it.
384
00:21:24,260 --> 00:21:27,260
Speak to her. Speak, man.
385
00:21:35,890 --> 00:21:37,550
She might laugh at me.
386
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:42,480
It is the one thing
in this world I fear.
387
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,490
Pardon, Monsieur,
a lady outside asking for you.
388
00:21:48,410 --> 00:21:49,750
Monsieur.
389
00:21:50,340 --> 00:21:51,270
A Duenna.
390
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,530
I have a message for you
from a...a certain lady.
391
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,760
She desires to know when
and where she may see you privately.
392
00:21:57,810 --> 00:22:00,070
She has certain
things to tell you.
393
00:22:00,690 --> 00:22:01,850
Certain...
394
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,010
Things!
395
00:22:04,230 --> 00:22:05,720
She wishes to see me?
396
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,410
We go tomorrow at dawn
to hear mass at St. Rupe
397
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,070
And afterwards, where
would you suggest?
398
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:12,630
Well, then, I...
399
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:15,300
- Where?
- Well?
400
00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:17,070
Ah....I am thinking.
401
00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:18,080
And you think?
402
00:22:19,770 --> 00:22:20,590
Where?
403
00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:22,060
The shop at Ragueneau's.
404
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:24,580
Yes, yes, Ragueneau,
the pastry cook.
405
00:22:24,620 --> 00:22:25,400
Who dwells?
406
00:22:26,650 --> 00:22:27,590
Rue Saint Honore.
407
00:22:27,630 --> 00:22:28,690
Eh...Rue Saint Honore.
408
00:22:28,730 --> 00:22:33,530
We are agreed. At 7 o'clock.
Until then. Adieu.
409
00:22:38,790 --> 00:22:39,940
I'll be there.
410
00:22:41,620 --> 00:22:44,110
Me! To see me!
411
00:22:44,260 --> 00:22:45,830
Ah, not quite so gloomy.
412
00:22:45,870 --> 00:22:47,580
After all, she knows
that I exist.
413
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,060
Imagine, she has
asked to see me!
414
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:52,240
So, now you're
going to be happy?
415
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,350
Happy.
I'm going to be a storm.
A flame!
416
00:22:55,390 --> 00:22:58,430
I need to fight whole
armies all alone!
417
00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,840
I have ten hearts!
418
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,280
I have a hundred arms!.
419
00:23:01,310 --> 00:23:04,450
I feel too strong
to war with mortals!
420
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,150
BRING ME GIANTS!
421
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:11,240
Quiet, please, shhh.
We are rehearsing back here.
422
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,600
So sorry.
Ha, ha, ha.
423
00:23:21,490 --> 00:23:22,280
Cyrano.
424
00:23:22,830 --> 00:23:23,630
Cyrano.
425
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,590
Ragueneau.
426
00:23:26,150 --> 00:23:27,910
Oh, thank goodness
you're still here.
427
00:23:27,950 --> 00:23:29,180
Well, what's the matter.
428
00:23:29,210 --> 00:23:30,410
I'm afraid to go home.
429
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,040
Why?
430
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,050
You know those
comic verses I wrote?
431
00:23:33,090 --> 00:23:34,830
About the congregation.
432
00:23:34,860 --> 00:23:37,260
Cyrano, he's hired ruffians.
Bullies.
433
00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:39,740
A hundred, waiting for
me on the way home.
434
00:23:39,780 --> 00:23:41,620
They're gonna beat me.
Cane me!
435
00:23:41,650 --> 00:23:44,450
Please, would you permit me
to spend the night with you?
436
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,420
A hundred men,
is that all?
437
00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:49,610
Ragueneau, you're
going home tonight.
438
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,630
But they're armed.
They're cutthroats!
439
00:23:51,690 --> 00:23:53,620
Take this lantern.
Forward march.
440
00:23:53,660 --> 00:23:55,760
I say that I'll be the man
to see you to your shop.
441
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,150
Not you, I want no help from you.
442
00:23:57,190 --> 00:23:58,510
For even for a hundred,
you're mad.
443
00:23:58,550 --> 00:23:59,730
Those are the odds I want.
444
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,420
Why for this pastry cook?
445
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,820
First, because this
pastry cook is a friend of mine.
446
00:24:04,930 --> 00:24:07,820
Second, because this
pastry cook is also a poet.
447
00:24:07,950 --> 00:24:09,360
And, most important,
448
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:12,000
if anything should
happen to this pastry cook,
449
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:16,870
tomorrow morning at seven
his shop will be closed.
450
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:19,590
Goodnight.
451
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,060
(a whistle signal)
452
00:25:37,430 --> 00:25:38,480
Cyrano. Help!
453
00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:43,580
Look out behind you!
454
00:26:22,750 --> 00:26:23,810
I have been robbed.
455
00:26:24,370 --> 00:26:26,070
- There are no hundred here.
456
00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:32,360
It's, it's, it's...
457
00:26:33,820 --> 00:26:35,230
Be quick. Inside.
458
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,550
Bolt the door!
459
00:26:48,510 --> 00:26:49,310
Ah!
460
00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:08,660
Yah!
461
00:27:10,460 --> 00:27:12,210
(ruffians shouting)
462
00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:01,010
Ah!
463
00:28:03,860 --> 00:28:04,560
Awk.
464
00:28:05,860 --> 00:28:08,030
(ruffians shouting)
465
00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:17,280
(Le Bret)
- Cyrano!
466
00:28:17,310 --> 00:28:18,320
- Hold!
467
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:34,330
Ah.
468
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,420
How do you feel?
469
00:28:37,460 --> 00:28:39,540
Oh, pleasantly exhilarated.
470
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:42,990
- Come, I know a little tavern not far...
- Where's Ragueneau?
471
00:28:43,310 --> 00:28:46,320
Ragueneau?
Ragueneau!
472
00:28:46,730 --> 00:28:49,510
Little boy, come out.
All's well!
473
00:28:50,330 --> 00:28:51,990
- Is it over?
- All over.
474
00:28:52,220 --> 00:28:53,020
Really?
475
00:28:54,500 --> 00:28:55,340
So soon?
476
00:28:55,370 --> 00:28:56,140
Ha, ha, ha.
477
00:28:56,170 --> 00:28:59,480
Oh, if only I'd had my sword.
How many did we kill?
478
00:28:59,510 --> 00:29:00,330
Oh, about eight.
479
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:00,960
Eight.
480
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,410
Eight!
481
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,420
Ohhhh.
482
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,910
This.....gentleman
begins to annoy me.
483
00:29:31,980 --> 00:29:33,630
(Ragueneau is a poet, too.)
484
00:29:35,060 --> 00:29:40,010
No. The sauce and meat must rhyme.
Add a pinch of marigold and thyme.
485
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,960
Your house, of course, needs a stronger roof.
Eh? There's proof.
486
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:45,830
Cyrano.
487
00:29:46,830 --> 00:29:47,500
Cyrano.
488
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,100
Come in and eat.
489
00:29:49,130 --> 00:29:51,110
- What time is it?
- Not quite seven.
490
00:29:51,130 --> 00:29:54,140
Oh, now, please, Cyrano.
A man without breakfast is like...
491
00:29:54,180 --> 00:29:56,720
No.
Could she have changed her mind?
492
00:29:56,750 --> 00:29:57,920
Aw, she wouldn't dare.
493
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,900
We were magnificent last night.
494
00:30:00,370 --> 00:30:01,830
And at the theater, too.
495
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,320
'Then, as I end the refrain'....
496
00:30:04,350 --> 00:30:07,390
When she arrives.
Where can we converse undisturbed?
497
00:30:07,420 --> 00:30:09,190
Wherever you like.
My shop is yours.
498
00:30:09,310 --> 00:30:11,900
The little dining room
is quite romantic.
499
00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:14,490
'Thrust home!'
Yea gods, what a line.
500
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,650
- 'Then as I end the re....'
- Vanish.
501
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:18,110
- Uh, huh, she's come?
- Shhhh.
502
00:30:18,140 --> 00:30:18,920
I swear.
503
00:30:27,340 --> 00:30:28,170
Welcome.
504
00:30:38,470 --> 00:30:40,510
- A pardon, one word.
- Oh, yes?
505
00:30:40,550 --> 00:30:41,520
Have you a good digestion?
506
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,430
Oh, wonderful.
507
00:30:43,290 --> 00:30:48,800
Eh, here are some éclairs.
Uh, creampuffs.
508
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,160
Some, uh, jellyrolls.
And do you like nature?
509
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,400
I adore it.
510
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,760
Go out and eat these in the sunshine.
Do not return.
511
00:30:56,790 --> 00:30:57,440
But why?
512
00:30:57,470 --> 00:30:58,910
Until you have finished them.
513
00:30:58,940 --> 00:31:00,340
(outside)
- What do I do then?
514
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,750
(door closes)
515
00:31:09,970 --> 00:31:13,000
Blessed above all others be the hour
when you remember to remember me,
516
00:31:13,230 --> 00:31:15,800
and came to tell me......what?
517
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,750
To tell you that....
518
00:31:19,060 --> 00:31:21,810
Before I dare tell you I....
519
00:31:22,020 --> 00:31:24,850
Are you, I wonder, still
the same big brother almost
520
00:31:24,890 --> 00:31:26,720
that you used to be
when we were children,
521
00:31:26,750 --> 00:31:29,570
playing by the pond
in the old garden down there?
522
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,570
At Bergerac.
Those lovely summers.
523
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,700
You use to make swords
out of bulrushes.
524
00:31:33,740 --> 00:31:35,810
And you, dandelions
also golden hair.
525
00:31:35,890 --> 00:31:37,930
In those days
I could tell you everything.
526
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,860
And you did
everything I wished.
527
00:31:40,060 --> 00:31:44,830
Little Roxane, a sweet tyrone
with short skirts and long hair.
528
00:31:44,860 --> 00:31:45,780
Was I pretty?
529
00:31:49,830 --> 00:31:51,270
Not too plain.
530
00:31:52,150 --> 00:31:54,490
Sometimes when you had fallen
or hurt your hand,
531
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,670
you used to come running to me,
and I would be your mother and say,
532
00:31:57,710 --> 00:32:02,770
oh, with a very grownup voice,
'Now, what have you been doing to yourself?'
533
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,300
'Let me see.'
534
00:32:05,890 --> 00:32:07,060
- Oh!
- No one that.
535
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:08,230
Wait, let me see.
536
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,540
Still. At your age?
537
00:32:12,010 --> 00:32:13,810
Now, how did you do that?
538
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,910
Playing with the big boys
at the Place de Neanne.
539
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:18,410
Come here.
540
00:32:19,330 --> 00:32:21,020
Such a wise little mother.
541
00:32:21,030 --> 00:32:24,740
And tell me, while I wash this
blood away, how many you played with?
542
00:32:24,770 --> 00:32:26,840
- Oh, about a hundred.
- A hundred?
543
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,950
- More or less.
- It can't be.
544
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:31,080
No.
545
00:32:31,670 --> 00:32:33,720
Tell me what you were
going to tell me.....
546
00:32:34,130 --> 00:32:35,320
if you dared.
547
00:32:36,190 --> 00:32:38,060
I think I do dare, now.
548
00:32:38,860 --> 00:32:41,450
It seems so like
those happy days long ago.
549
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,780
Yes, I dare.
550
00:32:44,350 --> 00:32:47,190
Listen....I love someone.
551
00:32:47,850 --> 00:32:48,440
Yes?
552
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,150
Someone who does not know.
553
00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:51,340
Yes?
554
00:32:51,450 --> 00:32:54,970
Someone who loves me, too,
but is afraid of me and keeps away
555
00:32:55,010 --> 00:32:56,340
and never says one word.
556
00:32:57,570 --> 00:32:58,270
(softly)
Yes.
557
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,210
Give my that hand.
558
00:33:01,870 --> 00:33:03,080
Why, how hot it is.
559
00:33:04,390 --> 00:33:06,390
Yes, he loves me.
I am sure of it.
560
00:33:06,740 --> 00:33:07,530
(softly)
Yes.
561
00:33:08,110 --> 00:33:10,730
And he is a soldier, too,
in your own regiment,
562
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,710
your own company.
563
00:33:11,740 --> 00:33:12,750
(loud)
Yes.
564
00:33:13,340 --> 00:33:14,480
Such a man.
565
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,280
He is proud, noble, young, brave,
566
00:33:18,610 --> 00:33:19,700
beautiful!
567
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:22,550
(softly)
Beautiful.
568
00:33:25,180 --> 00:33:26,040
What's the matter?
569
00:33:26,460 --> 00:33:27,160
Oh, nothing.
570
00:33:28,110 --> 00:33:30,210
It's this, my hand.
571
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,280
I love him.
That is all.
572
00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:38,230
And I have never seen him
anywhere except in the theater.
573
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,710
You have never spoken?
574
00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:42,790
Only with our hearts.
575
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,080
Well, then, how do you know?
576
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:50,270
Well, people talk about people,
and I hear things, and...
577
00:33:51,370 --> 00:33:52,700
and I know.
578
00:33:53,890 --> 00:33:55,540
(firmly)
You say he is in the guards?
579
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,530
His name?
580
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,270
Baron Christian de Neuvillette.
581
00:34:02,790 --> 00:34:03,910
You know him?
582
00:34:04,290 --> 00:34:05,650
He is not in the guards.
583
00:34:05,690 --> 00:34:07,020
Yes, since last week.
584
00:34:07,770 --> 00:34:09,550
He is only lately
come to Paris...
585
00:34:09,730 --> 00:34:11,140
from Normandy.
586
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,070
So soon.
So soon we lose our hearts.
587
00:34:15,570 --> 00:34:16,160
What...
(door opens)
588
00:34:16,190 --> 00:34:17,220
(Duenna)
- Monsieur de Bergerac
589
00:34:17,250 --> 00:34:18,850
- I have eaten all the cakes.
590
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,280
Good.
Now, go out and enjoy nature.
591
00:34:23,020 --> 00:34:26,110
But my dear child, you love
only words, wit, poetry.
592
00:34:26,150 --> 00:34:29,950
Why, for all you know,
the man may be a savage or a fool.
593
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:34,290
Not with such eyes.
I read his soul in them.
594
00:34:35,270 --> 00:34:38,360
Yes, all our souls are
written in our eyes.
595
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,720
And you have brought
me here to tell me this?
596
00:34:42,980 --> 00:34:45,890
I do not yet quite understand,
madam, the reason for your confidence.
597
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:52,640
They say, that in your company,
it frightens me, you are all Gascon.
598
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,850
We pick a quarrel with any outsider
who intrudes himself.
599
00:34:54,890 --> 00:34:56,250
Is that what you have heard?
600
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,150
- I'm so afraid for him.
- Not without reason.
601
00:34:59,190 --> 00:35:03,730
And I thought you...
it's you whom they all respect and fear.
602
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,590
You want me to defend
your little Baron?
603
00:35:08,630 --> 00:35:09,740
Will you?
604
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:11,670
Just for me.
605
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,440
Because I have always
been your friend.
606
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,790
And this is what
you want of me?
607
00:35:16,820 --> 00:35:18,430
Will you be his friend?
608
00:35:20,450 --> 00:35:22,200
I will be his friend.
609
00:35:22,230 --> 00:35:23,040
And never let him
fight a duel.
610
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,060
No, never.
611
00:35:24,090 --> 00:35:24,750
Promise?
612
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:26,980
I promise.
613
00:35:27,420 --> 00:35:30,860
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
I knew I could rely on you.
614
00:35:33,930 --> 00:35:35,410
Well, now I must go.
615
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,480
Oh, you never told
me about last night.
616
00:35:43,970 --> 00:35:45,790
Why, you must
have been a hero.
617
00:35:45,820 --> 00:35:50,240
Have write and tell me all about it,
and...about himself.
618
00:35:51,420 --> 00:35:54,330
Oh, you are a darling.
We are great friends, are we not?
619
00:35:54,860 --> 00:35:56,330
He must write to me.
620
00:35:58,390 --> 00:36:01,490
A hundred men against one.
You shall tell me the whole story
621
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:02,980
someday when we have time.
622
00:36:06,570 --> 00:36:10,170
A hundred men.
What courage!
623
00:36:14,030 --> 00:36:16,810
I have done better.
624
00:36:21,820 --> 00:36:22,450
Well?
625
00:36:24,890 --> 00:36:26,050
Let us leave this place.
626
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,620
But the whole company
is on its way here.
627
00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:28,330
Oh, no.
628
00:36:28,370 --> 00:36:30,870
On my heels. Naturally I told
them all about last night.
629
00:36:30,900 --> 00:36:31,880
They're wild.
630
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:32,830
Here they are.
631
00:36:32,860 --> 00:36:35,420
- Yes, but, why did you?
- Perhaps I can stop them.
632
00:36:36,210 --> 00:36:36,870
Never mind.
633
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,220
Cyrano!
634
00:36:39,260 --> 00:36:46,070
(greetings and cheers to Cyrano)
635
00:36:49,130 --> 00:36:51,570
Eight dead men in the street.
Scandalous.
636
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,010
You know my edict
against dueling, nephew.
637
00:36:54,050 --> 00:36:55,580
I expect to have it enforced.
638
00:36:55,610 --> 00:36:58,940
Furthermore, I wish to know
who was responsible for last night's
639
00:36:58,970 --> 00:37:00,410
outrage at the Place de Neanne.
640
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:01,840
I understand, Your Eminence.
641
00:37:02,050 --> 00:37:04,180
Very well.
And now I have news
642
00:37:04,210 --> 00:37:06,310
that should be more
to you liking.
643
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:13,410
I fear, in confidence, our
uneasy armistice with Spain is doomed.
644
00:37:13,450 --> 00:37:14,410
My colonelcy?
645
00:37:14,450 --> 00:37:16,670
You commission has been prepared.
646
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:18,890
Oh, thank you, uncle, thank you.
647
00:37:19,230 --> 00:37:20,630
Oh, one thing more.
648
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,600
Last night at the theater,
the duel in rhyme,
649
00:37:24,790 --> 00:37:26,970
that guardsman with a nose.
650
00:37:27,010 --> 00:37:30,240
- Bergerac, that impossible Gascon.
- Yes, impossible.
651
00:37:30,260 --> 00:37:32,300
- His treatment of Montfleury.
- Abominable.
652
00:37:32,330 --> 00:37:35,230
- The arrogance with which he closed the play.
- Incredible.
653
00:37:35,260 --> 00:37:38,130
- It will be a miracle if the Vicomte survives.
- A sorrow.
654
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,720
What will you do
with him, Your Eminence?
655
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,100
I? Nothing.
656
00:37:41,140 --> 00:37:43,290
I thought I might
leave that to you.
657
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,500
To me?
658
00:37:44,530 --> 00:37:48,270
Yes. Place him somewhere
in your service,
659
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:49,890
with a comfortable allowance.
660
00:37:49,930 --> 00:37:51,390
He looked a little threadbare.
661
00:37:51,430 --> 00:37:55,020
I...You...But, Your Eminence.
You detest dueling.
662
00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:55,960
Of course I do.
663
00:37:56,350 --> 00:37:58,070
Why didn't you prevent it?
664
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,350
I should much prefer
that monsieur de Beregrac
665
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,300
live by the pen,
rather than die by the sword.
666
00:38:06,590 --> 00:38:08,470
Do you not agree, Antoine?
667
00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:12,560
By all means, Your Eminence.
By all means.
668
00:38:14,830 --> 00:38:21,650
'And then, as I end the refrain...
thrust home.'
669
00:38:24,790 --> 00:38:28,740
(Carousing at Ragueneau's)
670
00:38:33,220 --> 00:38:39,860
(noisy celebration of Cyrano's
defeat of 'a hundred' ruffians)
671
00:38:44,210 --> 00:38:46,580
(Antoine Comte de Guiche enters)
672
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:48,620
Monsieur de Bergerac.
673
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,390
Your Excellency.
674
00:38:51,970 --> 00:38:54,750
I have come to express my....
675
00:38:54,790 --> 00:38:58,550
admiration for both
your exploits last night.
676
00:38:58,590 --> 00:39:01,290
Indeed. Thank you.
677
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,900
My dear fellow,
we may have had our differences,
678
00:39:04,930 --> 00:39:07,550
but I am disposed
to forget them.
679
00:39:07,570 --> 00:39:09,710
That is very generous
of you, sir.
680
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:10,560
No, truly.
681
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,970
You are, it seems, a man
of many skills.
682
00:39:14,010 --> 00:39:17,350
A rare combination
soldier and poet.
683
00:39:18,060 --> 00:39:21,750
- Would you care to join my following?
- No, sir.
684
00:39:21,790 --> 00:39:23,260
I do not follow.
685
00:39:23,770 --> 00:39:25,980
I am told you have
written a play.
686
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,510
As you know, my uncle,
the Cardinal, is also a dramatist.
687
00:39:29,540 --> 00:39:30,990
I might help you there.
688
00:39:31,150 --> 00:39:34,050
Cyrano, now at last
you can have it performed.
689
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,200
Why not?
690
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:36,620
I could take it to him.
691
00:39:37,860 --> 00:39:39,330
Really?
692
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,460
Of course.
Let him rewrite a few lines
693
00:39:41,490 --> 00:39:43,770
here and there, and
he'll find a theater for you.
694
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,230
Rewrite...my lines?
695
00:39:47,670 --> 00:39:49,150
Impossible.
696
00:39:49,190 --> 00:39:52,040
Uh, when he likes a thing,
he pays well.
697
00:39:52,070 --> 00:39:53,240
Yes, but not so well as I.
698
00:39:53,270 --> 00:39:55,460
When I have made a line
that sings itself
699
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:57,220
I pay myself a hundred times.
700
00:39:57,250 --> 00:39:58,940
You are proud, my friend.
701
00:39:58,970 --> 00:40:00,020
You have observed that?
702
00:40:00,060 --> 00:40:02,460
- Cyrano.
See what we found in the street.
703
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:05,140
Plumes dropped in their flight
by those fine birds
704
00:40:05,170 --> 00:40:06,860
who showed their
tail feathers!
705
00:40:06,890 --> 00:40:08,590
(laughter)
706
00:40:08,620 --> 00:40:10,180
The man who hired
those scoundrels,
707
00:40:10,210 --> 00:40:12,010
he must be an
angry man today.
708
00:40:12,050 --> 00:40:13,430
Who was it?
Do you know?
709
00:40:13,850 --> 00:40:14,790
It was I.
710
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,870
I hired them to do the sort
of work we do not soil our hands with.
711
00:40:20,660 --> 00:40:22,940
Punishing an insolent poet.
712
00:40:22,970 --> 00:40:25,610
They ought to be mounted
before they spoil.
713
00:40:25,650 --> 00:40:27,850
(laughter)
What shall we do with them?
714
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:36,460
Sir, will you not return these
to your friends?
715
00:40:40,310 --> 00:40:42,190
Have you read Don Quixote?
716
00:40:42,230 --> 00:40:44,650
I have and found
myself the hero.
717
00:40:44,690 --> 00:40:47,770
Be so good as to read once more
the capture of the windmills.
718
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,010
Chapter 13.
719
00:40:50,150 --> 00:40:52,200
Windmills, remember,
if you fight with them...
720
00:40:52,230 --> 00:40:56,590
may swing round their huge arms
and cast you down into the mire.
721
00:40:56,630 --> 00:40:59,010
Or up among the stars.
722
00:41:01,250 --> 00:41:01,970
Gentlemen.
723
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:03,320
Gentlemen.
724
00:41:03,570 --> 00:41:04,550
Gentlemen.
725
00:41:05,220 --> 00:41:06,610
You've done it, now.
726
00:41:06,650 --> 00:41:07,860
You've made your fortune.
727
00:41:07,890 --> 00:41:09,070
He was willing to forget.
728
00:41:09,490 --> 00:41:11,180
There you go again, growling.
729
00:41:11,210 --> 00:41:13,460
Yesss,
this latest pose of yours,
730
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:16,070
ruining every opportunity
that comes you way,
731
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:17,100
becomes exaggerated.
732
00:41:17,140 --> 00:41:18,250
Very well, then, I exaggerate.
733
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:19,710
There are certain things
in this world
734
00:41:19,740 --> 00:41:21,100
a man does well
to carry to extremes.
735
00:41:21,140 --> 00:41:23,710
Your precious independence.
Your white plume.
736
00:41:23,740 --> 00:41:25,410
How do you expect
to succeed in life?
737
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,400
What would you have me do?
738
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,590
Seek for the patronage
of some great man
739
00:41:28,630 --> 00:41:31,880
and like a creeping vine
on a tall tree crawl upward
740
00:41:31,910 --> 00:41:33,520
where I cannot stand alone?
741
00:41:33,940 --> 00:41:34,850
No, thank you.
742
00:41:35,210 --> 00:41:39,880
Be a buffoon in the vile hope
of teasing out a smile on some cold face.
743
00:41:40,340 --> 00:41:41,710
No, thank you.
744
00:41:42,050 --> 00:41:44,260
Eat a toad for breakfast
every morning.
745
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:47,530
Make my knees calloused.
Cultivate a supple spine.
746
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,320
Wear out my belly
groveling in the dust.
747
00:41:49,590 --> 00:41:50,400
No, thank you.
748
00:41:50,860 --> 00:41:54,880
With my left hand scratch the back
of any swine that roots up gold for me
749
00:41:54,910 --> 00:41:58,910
while my right, too proud to know
his partner's business, takes in the fee.
750
00:41:58,940 --> 00:41:59,920
No, thank you.
751
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,810
Shall I use the fire God gave me
to burn incense all day long?
752
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,020
No, thank you.
753
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,410
Struggle to insinuate my name
into the columns of the Gazette?
754
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:13,250
Calculate, scheme, be afraid?
Love more to make a visit than a poem?
755
00:42:13,290 --> 00:42:15,990
Seek introductions, favors,
influences?
756
00:42:16,020 --> 00:42:17,050
No, thank you.
757
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,270
No, I thank you, and
again I thank you.
758
00:42:23,930 --> 00:42:30,320
But, to sing, to laugh, to dream,
to walk in my own way,
759
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,510
free with and eye
to see things as they are.
760
00:42:33,380 --> 00:42:35,240
A voice that means manhood.
761
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,640
To cut my have
the right shoes.
762
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:46,150
And a word, a yes, a no,
to fight, or write,
763
00:42:46,830 --> 00:42:48,440
but never to make
a line I have not heard
764
00:42:48,470 --> 00:42:49,780
in my own heart.
765
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,380
To travel any
road under the sun,
766
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,780
under the stars,
767
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,520
nor care if fame or fortune
lie beyond the bourne.
768
00:43:00,370 --> 00:43:02,250
Yet, with all modesty to say,
769
00:43:03,250 --> 00:43:05,830
my soul be satisfied
with flowers,
770
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:08,000
with weeds,
771
00:43:09,210 --> 00:43:10,840
with thorns, even,
772
00:43:11,910 --> 00:43:14,940
but gather them in the one garden
you may call your own.
773
00:43:16,230 --> 00:43:18,450
In a word, I'm too proud
to be a parasite.
774
00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:21,470
And if mine intellect the germ
that grows towering to heaven
775
00:43:21,500 --> 00:43:22,770
like the mountain pine
776
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,570
I stand not high, it may be,
777
00:43:27,260 --> 00:43:28,460
but alone.
778
00:43:28,500 --> 00:43:31,170
Alone, yes, but why
go about making enemies?
779
00:43:32,100 --> 00:43:35,850
Watching other people
making friends...everywhere,
780
00:43:35,890 --> 00:43:37,980
as a dog makes friends.
781
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,550
I mark the manner of
these canine courtesies,
782
00:43:41,580 --> 00:43:46,770
and think, here comes,
thank heaven, another enemy.
783
00:43:46,810 --> 00:43:52,760
Yes, tell this to all the world,
and then to me say very softly
784
00:43:52,790 --> 00:43:55,540
that she loves you not.
785
00:43:58,830 --> 00:44:00,940
Let me be alone
for a moment.
786
00:44:03,990 --> 00:44:05,050
Cyrano, wait.
787
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,760
Give us your story
of the fight.
788
00:44:07,530 --> 00:44:08,400
Presently.
789
00:44:08,430 --> 00:44:10,010
No, the story, now!
790
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,970
Oh, let him alone.
There's time enough.
791
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,360
I want it now!
792
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,090
As an example for that young
tadpole sneaking out the doorway.
793
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,040
You, there.
794
00:44:25,310 --> 00:44:26,820
Are you addressing me?
795
00:44:28,190 --> 00:44:32,770
Yes, you flat-footed
Norman farmer.
796
00:44:36,190 --> 00:44:37,470
You wish something of me?
797
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:39,950
Listen, Monsieur de...de...de
whatever your name is.
798
00:44:39,980 --> 00:44:40,920
de Neuvillette!
799
00:44:41,090 --> 00:44:43,230
Baron Christan de Neuvillette.
800
00:44:43,270 --> 00:44:45,370
Very well, de Neuvillette.
801
00:44:45,670 --> 00:44:48,080
As you are a newcomer here,
you should know there is a
802
00:44:48,110 --> 00:44:52,300
certain subject or object, if you prefer,
that is never mentioned among us.
803
00:44:52,340 --> 00:44:53,340
And that is....?
804
00:44:53,370 --> 00:44:54,500
Look at me!
805
00:44:54,540 --> 00:44:55,980
(touching his nose)
806
00:44:56,020 --> 00:44:57,360
You understand?
807
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:58,670
You mean....?
808
00:44:58,700 --> 00:45:01,090
Thus we never speak that word.
809
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,390
To even breathe it is
to have to do with him.
810
00:45:04,420 --> 00:45:08,760
He has exterminated several
whose mere tone of voice suggested...
811
00:45:08,790 --> 00:45:12,920
Would you die before your time?
Just mention anything convex.
812
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,530
Or cartilaginous.
813
00:45:14,570 --> 00:45:18,540
One word. One syllable.
One gesture. Nay, one sneeze.
814
00:45:18,570 --> 00:45:21,330
And your handkerchief
becomes your winding sheet.
815
00:45:24,110 --> 00:45:24,920
Captain.
816
00:45:25,430 --> 00:45:26,290
Sir?
817
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:30,090
What is the proper thing to do
when Gascons grow too boastful?
818
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,820
Prove to them that one may
be a Norman and still have courage.
819
00:45:33,850 --> 00:45:35,100
I thank you.
820
00:45:41,330 --> 00:45:43,360
Come on, Cyrano, your story.
821
00:45:44,420 --> 00:45:47,330
(shouts of encouragement)
822
00:45:47,740 --> 00:45:49,540
Now, let me see.
Where shall we begin?
823
00:45:50,450 --> 00:45:52,510
I followed with our host
to meet those scoundrels
824
00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:53,640
not knowing where
they might attack.
825
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,340
No lamps in those narrow
back streets.
826
00:45:57,500 --> 00:45:58,600
No moon in the sky.
827
00:45:59,340 --> 00:46:01,220
Dark. Everything dark.
828
00:46:01,430 --> 00:46:04,040
It was so dark, Mon Dieux,
you could not see beyond...
829
00:46:04,070 --> 00:46:05,470
Your nose!
830
00:46:05,850 --> 00:46:08,480
(Christian shows his courage.)
831
00:46:25,250 --> 00:46:33,250
Who...is that...man...there?
832
00:46:34,260 --> 00:46:35,380
- A new recruit.
833
00:46:36,070 --> 00:46:37,550
- Arrived last week.
834
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,080
A recruit, eh?
835
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:41,940
Ha, ha---.
836
00:46:41,970 --> 00:46:45,320
His name is Christian de Neuvillette.
837
00:46:45,350 --> 00:46:48,660
(Cyrano remembers his
promise to Roxane.)
838
00:46:58,510 --> 00:46:59,570
I see.
839
00:47:02,670 --> 00:47:03,510
Very well.
840
00:47:04,850 --> 00:47:06,470
As I was saying.
841
00:47:10,830 --> 00:47:11,930
It grew dark.
842
00:47:12,460 --> 00:47:15,180
You could not see
your hand before your eyes.
843
00:47:16,310 --> 00:47:19,470
I marched on thinking our all for
the sake of one amateur poet
844
00:47:19,510 --> 00:47:22,660
- who wrote a verse whenever he took a..
- A nose full.
845
00:47:24,370 --> 00:47:25,770
...whenever he took a notion.,
846
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,600
and might antagonize
some dangerous man.
847
00:47:28,630 --> 00:47:30,830
One powerful enough
to make me pay...
848
00:47:30,860 --> 00:47:31,980
Through the nose!
849
00:47:32,010 --> 00:47:33,090
...pay the piper!
850
00:47:33,410 --> 00:47:35,430
After all, I thought,
why am I putting in my..
851
00:47:35,470 --> 00:47:36,310
- Nose!
852
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:39,170
...putting in my oar in a quarrel
that was none of mine,
853
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,240
however now that I am here,
I may as well go through with it.
854
00:47:41,270 --> 00:47:42,840
Come Gascon, do your duty.
855
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,850
Suddenly a sword
flashed in the dark!
856
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:45,810
I caught it fair...
857
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:46,810
On the nose!
858
00:47:47,940 --> 00:47:49,130
...on my blade!
859
00:47:49,170 --> 00:47:50,530
Before I knew it,
there I was...
860
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:51,690
Rubbing noses!
861
00:47:51,730 --> 00:47:53,840
...crossing swords with
harvard's joy once.
862
00:47:53,870 --> 00:47:54,940
I had the bottom then...
863
00:47:54,980 --> 00:47:55,900
A nosegay!
864
00:47:55,940 --> 00:47:57,160
...a monstrous crab tree.
865
00:47:57,610 --> 00:48:00,170
(breathing heavily)
He went down for as a wave.
866
00:48:00,380 --> 00:48:00,990
I charged...
867
00:48:01,030 --> 00:48:02,590
Who was in the air hard.
868
00:48:02,620 --> 00:48:03,450
...at the two of them.
869
00:48:04,750 --> 00:48:05,900
Another lunged,
and I parried...
870
00:48:05,940 --> 00:48:07,220
Through your nose!
871
00:48:07,250 --> 00:48:09,310
Right out of here!
All of you go!
872
00:48:09,340 --> 00:48:10,120
Leave me with him.
873
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,660
To my arms, sir.
You have courage.
874
00:48:28,690 --> 00:48:29,880
- That pleases me.
- Why?
875
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,820
Come, do you not know
I am her brother?
876
00:48:31,850 --> 00:48:32,460
Whose?
877
00:48:32,500 --> 00:48:34,250
Hers. Roxane.
878
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:38,390
Brother?
879
00:48:39,260 --> 00:48:40,170
You?
880
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,150
Well, a distant cousin.
Much the same.
881
00:48:42,510 --> 00:48:44,450
- Then she has told you?
- Everything.
882
00:48:44,580 --> 00:48:46,680
- She loves me?
- Perhaps.
883
00:48:47,610 --> 00:48:49,950
My dear sir, more than I can say.
I am honored.
884
00:48:49,990 --> 00:48:52,040
- Rather sudden.
- Oh, please, forgive me.
885
00:48:52,260 --> 00:48:54,270
If you knew how
much I have admired you.
886
00:48:54,310 --> 00:48:57,620
- Yes, yes, and all those noses.
- Please. I apologize.
887
00:48:59,060 --> 00:49:00,680
Roxane expects a letter.
888
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:02,300
- From me?
- Yes, why not?
889
00:49:02,340 --> 00:49:03,180
Oh,, No.
890
00:49:03,530 --> 00:49:05,880
- Once I write, that ruins everything.
- Why?
891
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,020
Because, any schoolboy can write
to her more gracefully than I.
892
00:49:09,590 --> 00:49:10,730
A fool!
893
00:49:10,900 --> 00:49:14,560
- You did not attack me like a fool.
- Anyone can pick a quarrel.
894
00:49:14,740 --> 00:49:16,580
No, I'm never at loss
for words among men,
895
00:49:16,610 --> 00:49:21,260
but with any women...
paralyzed...speechless, dumb.
896
00:49:21,460 --> 00:49:23,600
I'm one of those
stammering idiots
897
00:49:23,630 --> 00:49:25,270
who can not court a woman.
898
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:26,170
Really?
899
00:49:26,810 --> 00:49:28,700
As for myself,
it seems to me that
900
00:49:28,730 --> 00:49:32,300
given the opportunity,
and if I put my mind to it,
901
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,390
I could do that..
rather well.
902
00:49:35,420 --> 00:49:37,870
Oh, is I had words to say
what I have here!
903
00:49:37,900 --> 00:49:39,450
If I were handsome
like you.
904
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,780
Together, we could make
one mighty hero of romance.
905
00:49:43,820 --> 00:49:45,330
If only I had your wit.
906
00:49:50,570 --> 00:49:51,710
Borrow it, then.
907
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:53,150
What?
908
00:49:54,670 --> 00:49:55,490
Tell me,
909
00:49:56,910 --> 00:49:59,770
would you dare repeat to her
the words I gave you day by day?
910
00:50:00,330 --> 00:50:02,420
Send to her
the letters that I write?
911
00:50:02,460 --> 00:50:04,800
I mean, that Roxane
should have no disillusionment.
912
00:50:05,180 --> 00:50:06,820
Come, shall we win her
both together?
913
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:07,800
For you?
914
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,970
- Why, Cyrano...
- Christian, why not?
915
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,850
I...I'm afraid.
916
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,030
Afraid that when you
have her all alone, you will lose her.
917
00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:16,420
Have not fear,
it is your self she loves.
918
00:50:16,450 --> 00:50:17,920
Give her yourself.
919
00:50:17,950 --> 00:50:23,670
Put into words,
my words...upon your lips.
920
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:25,180
Will you?
921
00:50:26,780 --> 00:50:28,030
Will you?
922
00:50:28,910 --> 00:50:30,740
Does it mean
so much to you?
923
00:50:30,770 --> 00:50:32,360
It means....
924
00:50:34,110 --> 00:50:37,060
It means a comedy,
a situation for a poet.
925
00:50:37,190 --> 00:50:38,350
Come, shall we collaborate?
926
00:50:38,390 --> 00:50:42,420
I'll be your cloak of darkness,
your enchanted sword,
927
00:50:42,460 --> 00:50:45,330
your ring to charm
the fairy princess.
928
00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:49,180
Think!
Is the prize not worth the danger?
929
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:52,980
My friend!
930
00:50:54,620 --> 00:50:55,740
My friend.
931
00:50:56,890 --> 00:51:00,100
Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
932
00:51:00,350 --> 00:51:03,650
Plucking the flowers,
we will keep the plant in bloom.
933
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,010
Thus do I love thee,
my darling.
934
00:51:08,890 --> 00:51:09,670
Idiot.
935
00:51:09,910 --> 00:51:12,200
There are a dozen
ways to read that line.
936
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:14,500
Can't you give it some meaning?
Any meaning!
937
00:51:14,530 --> 00:51:15,950
THUS do I love thee!
938
00:51:15,980 --> 00:51:17,280
Thus do "I" love thee.
939
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:18,550
Thus do I LOVE thee.
940
00:51:18,580 --> 00:51:20,930
Thus do I love THEE,
THEE, THEE.
941
00:51:22,580 --> 00:51:25,680
Who knows your smile
has known a perfect thing.
942
00:51:25,710 --> 00:51:28,400
You are a white rose,
wherein love lies in ambush
943
00:51:28,430 --> 00:51:30,180
for its natural prey.
944
00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:33,760
In the garden of my heart,
you are the most...
945
00:51:33,930 --> 00:51:35,680
eh, the most....
946
00:51:37,450 --> 00:51:39,750
fragrant blossom.
947
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,780
As the tender sapling
thirsts for rain,
948
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,900
as the eagle seeks the sky,
949
00:51:48,030 --> 00:51:51,050
as the wave
hurtles toward the shore,
950
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,990
my heart yearns for you.
951
00:51:54,460 --> 00:51:55,820
Good, good.
952
00:51:55,970 --> 00:51:58,740
You know, you're beginning
to have a feel for words.
953
00:51:58,770 --> 00:52:02,010
- Words. I'm sick of words.
- Those are your weapons.
954
00:52:02,050 --> 00:52:03,190
How else do you conquer?
955
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,130
Yes, but when, when?
956
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,190
They're fighting in the north, now.
You know that.
957
00:52:06,230 --> 00:52:07,690
The Regiment will be
called up any day,
958
00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:08,840
and I've never
even kissed her.
959
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,940
Patience, my boy, patience.
960
00:52:11,980 --> 00:52:13,110
I've been patient.
961
00:52:13,140 --> 00:52:16,280
Why, she sees the Compte de Guiche
as often as she does me.
962
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,120
Do you suppose
she's playing with me?
963
00:52:21,260 --> 00:52:22,500
Making a fool of me?
964
00:52:23,850 --> 00:52:24,880
Impossible.
965
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,210
How can you say?
How do you know?
966
00:52:27,210 --> 00:52:31,390
Cyrano, you have her confidence.
You could find out.
967
00:52:39,300 --> 00:52:40,690
Nonsense, I say.
968
00:52:42,260 --> 00:52:43,440
Oh, very well.
969
00:52:43,870 --> 00:52:45,190
I'll scout the terrain.
970
00:52:45,230 --> 00:52:47,200
Listen, Cyrano,
intelligently, discreetly.
971
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:48,160
Yes.
972
00:52:48,190 --> 00:52:49,340
With finesse.
973
00:52:52,010 --> 00:52:55,510
And, uh, what do you think
of Christian after all these weeks?
974
00:52:55,620 --> 00:52:58,030
He is beautiful,
but he's brilliant.
975
00:52:58,070 --> 00:52:59,760
- And I love him.
- Good!
976
00:52:59,870 --> 00:53:01,750
Uh, do you find him intellectual?
977
00:53:01,790 --> 00:53:03,600
- More so than you, even.
- Huh?
978
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,470
- Oh, I didn't mean.
- No, no, no, I am glad.
979
00:53:06,500 --> 00:53:09,290
No man ever so beautifully
said those things.
980
00:53:09,330 --> 00:53:11,900
Those pretty nothings
to everything.
981
00:53:12,310 --> 00:53:15,780
Sometimes, he,. he, he falls
into a reverie.
982
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,110
His inspiration..fails.
983
00:53:20,050 --> 00:53:23,940
But, then all at once,
he will say something absolutely...
984
00:53:23,980 --> 00:53:25,370
Ah!
985
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:26,760
Really?
986
00:53:27,470 --> 00:53:28,910
How like a man!
987
00:53:28,940 --> 00:53:32,220
You think because a man
has a handsome face he must be a fool.
988
00:53:33,330 --> 00:53:34,790
Not necessarily.
989
00:53:34,830 --> 00:53:38,410
Uh, he talks well about, uh,
matters of the heart?
990
00:53:38,450 --> 00:53:42,420
He does not talk.
He rhapsodizes. He dreams.
991
00:53:42,460 --> 00:53:46,360
Only the other night he said to me,
extemporaneously, mind you.
992
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:47,220
Oh, of course.
993
00:53:47,980 --> 00:53:50,660
'Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
994
00:53:50,700 --> 00:53:54,760
'Plucking the flowers
we will keep the plants in bloom.'
995
00:53:55,720 --> 00:53:56,730
Well?
996
00:53:56,770 --> 00:53:58,530
Umm, passable.
997
00:53:58,950 --> 00:54:00,010
He writes well?
998
00:54:00,050 --> 00:54:02,080
Wonderfully, listen:
999
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,510
'Knowing you have in store
more heart to give
1000
00:54:05,550 --> 00:54:08,160
- 'than I to find heart room...'
- The first he has too much heart,
1001
00:54:08,190 --> 00:54:10,400
then too little. Just how much heart
does he need?
1002
00:54:10,470 --> 00:54:11,740
You are teasing.
1003
00:54:11,870 --> 00:54:12,870
You are jealous!
1004
00:54:12,910 --> 00:54:13,690
Jealous?
1005
00:54:13,730 --> 00:54:14,440
Yes.
1006
00:54:14,470 --> 00:54:15,840
Poets are all alike.
1007
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:19,660
Would you dare
criticize these lines?
1008
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:25,100
'Only believe that unto you
my whole heart gives one cry.
1009
00:54:25,540 --> 00:54:29,470
'And writing, writes down
more than you receive.
1010
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,010
'Sending you kisses
through my fingertips.
1011
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,020
'Lady, oh, read my letter
with your lips.'
1012
00:54:39,340 --> 00:54:43,820
Yes, those last lines,
but he overwrites.
1013
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:44,970
Listen to this.
1014
00:54:45,010 --> 00:54:46,000
Do you know
them all by heart?
1015
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,070
Every one.
1016
00:54:47,110 --> 00:54:48,500
Well, I may call
that flattering.
1017
00:54:48,530 --> 00:54:49,310
He is a master.
1018
00:54:49,350 --> 00:54:51,850
- Oh, come..
- Yes, a master.
1019
00:54:51,860 --> 00:54:55,270
Huh, a master,...
if you will.
1020
00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:00,520
And, uh, when do you
bestow the laurel wreath?
1021
00:55:00,540 --> 00:55:05,290
How many prodigies of poetry
must this new Hercules perform?
1022
00:55:05,390 --> 00:55:06,490
I do not know.
1023
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:11,580
My friend, you men own the world
and all that's in it.
1024
00:55:12,020 --> 00:55:17,990
Woman is at best a prize, a property
valued much the same as a horse or a dog,
1025
00:55:18,150 --> 00:55:22,010
unlike the pear and sheen of skin
and soundness of teeth and limb.
1026
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:27,870
Well, if I must be chattel,
then the terms shall be mine,
1027
00:55:27,910 --> 00:55:31,480
and the price according
to my own values.
1028
00:55:31,510 --> 00:55:32,670
There.
1029
00:55:34,070 --> 00:55:35,460
I see.
1030
00:55:37,060 --> 00:55:39,880
Christian tells me
that you meet tonight.
1031
00:55:42,510 --> 00:55:45,210
What would you have him
speak about?
1032
00:55:46,230 --> 00:55:47,910
Oh, nothing,
1033
00:55:48,260 --> 00:55:49,530
and everything.
1034
00:55:49,980 --> 00:55:54,140
I shall say, speak to me
of love in your own words.
1035
00:55:54,550 --> 00:55:56,810
Improvise, rhapsodize.
1036
00:55:57,540 --> 00:55:58,790
Be eloquent.
1037
00:55:59,910 --> 00:56:01,540
But you will not tell him,
will you?
1038
00:56:01,570 --> 00:56:03,270
Ah, perish the thought.
1039
00:56:03,590 --> 00:56:06,370
Madame, Compte de Guiche.
1040
00:56:10,720 --> 00:56:12,820
(Sigh)
Madame.
1041
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:16,880
Monsieur.
1042
00:56:17,770 --> 00:56:18,770
Madame.
1043
00:56:21,570 --> 00:56:24,270
Monsieur.
(Crunch)
1044
00:56:33,430 --> 00:56:35,090
- Christian, quick.
- No.
1045
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,030
There's still time to learn your lines.
No.
1046
00:56:37,070 --> 00:56:39,760
I have some brilliant phrases for you,
brilliant, sensitive...
1047
00:56:39,790 --> 00:56:40,500
No.
1048
00:56:41,150 --> 00:56:42,160
I'll have not more of it.
1049
00:56:42,190 --> 00:56:44,250
Taking all my words, my sentences
all from you,
1050
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,490
- making our love a little comedy.
- Don't you real...
1051
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,480
It was a game at first,
but now she cares.
1052
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:49,390
Huh?
1053
00:56:49,430 --> 00:56:50,750
Thanks to you.
Uh.
1054
00:56:50,790 --> 00:56:53,060
I'm not afraid any longer.
I'll speak for myself, now.
1055
00:56:53,090 --> 00:56:53,720
Oh, undoubtedly.
1056
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,990
I will. You shall see!
1057
00:56:56,500 --> 00:56:59,110
Besides, I know enough
to take a woman in my arms,
1058
00:56:59,150 --> 00:57:00,870
and tonight, I will.
1059
00:57:04,070 --> 00:57:05,420
(knocking on door)
- Christian!
1060
00:57:05,450 --> 00:57:07,210
Thank you, my friend,
and goodbye.
1061
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:09,040
- Christian, I beg of you.
- Leave me!
1062
00:57:09,070 --> 00:57:10,830
- You're making a grave error.
- Go away!
1063
00:57:13,540 --> 00:57:14,540
So be it.
1064
00:57:16,950 --> 00:57:18,600
(door opens)
1065
00:57:20,300 --> 00:57:21,440
Christian.
1066
00:57:21,470 --> 00:57:22,580
Roxane.
1067
00:57:23,190 --> 00:57:25,330
I'm so glad you are early.
1068
00:57:26,430 --> 00:57:28,400
Let us stay out here
in the moonlight.
1069
00:57:29,150 --> 00:57:30,490
It's so pleasant.
1070
00:57:32,780 --> 00:57:33,630
Sit down.
1071
00:57:36,450 --> 00:57:37,720
There, so.
1072
00:57:40,770 --> 00:57:43,780
Now, speak to me.
1073
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:45,470
I love you.
1074
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,330
Yes, speak to me of love.
1075
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,390
I...love you.
1076
00:57:53,430 --> 00:57:55,640
Now, be eloquent.
Be brilliant for me.
1077
00:57:56,300 --> 00:57:57,940
Tonight of all nights.
1078
00:57:58,250 --> 00:58:01,560
I love you....so.
1079
00:58:03,610 --> 00:58:07,630
You have your scene.
Now, improvise, rhapsodize.
1080
00:58:07,660 --> 00:58:11,570
I love you...
very much!
1081
00:58:14,500 --> 00:58:17,600
I ask for cream,
and you give me milk and water.
1082
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:22,490
Tell me firstly,
how you love me.
1083
00:58:22,530 --> 00:58:23,780
Very much!
1084
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:26,440
Is that all you feel?
1085
00:58:26,470 --> 00:58:29,360
Your throat, if only
I might kiss it.
1086
00:58:29,390 --> 00:58:30,170
Christian!
1087
00:58:30,210 --> 00:58:31,520
But, Roxane, I love you.
1088
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:32,860
Again.
1089
00:58:32,890 --> 00:58:34,450
No, not again.
I do not love you.
1090
00:58:37,490 --> 00:58:38,540
That is better.
1091
00:58:39,380 --> 00:58:42,870
I...I adore you!
1092
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:43,870
Oh!
1093
00:58:44,570 --> 00:58:46,070
I know I grow absurd.
1094
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:48,870
And that distresses me as much
as if you had grown ugly!
1095
00:58:51,020 --> 00:58:54,910
Please. Gather your dreams
together into words.
1096
00:58:54,950 --> 00:58:57,830
I...um, I...
1097
00:58:57,870 --> 00:59:00,280
I know. You love me!
Good night!
1098
00:59:00,310 --> 00:59:01,440
Oh, but wait, please!
1099
00:59:01,470 --> 00:59:02,530
I was going to say...
1100
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:04,510
That you adore me.
Yes, I know that, too.
1101
00:59:04,540 --> 00:59:06,720
-No, go away.
- I....
1102
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,290
(door slams shut)
1103
00:59:25,170 --> 00:59:28,330
(Cyrano claps his hands)
1104
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:29,870
A great success.
1105
00:59:30,940 --> 00:59:31,720
Help me.
1106
00:59:31,750 --> 00:59:33,620
Not I.
Speak for yourself, my friend.
1107
00:59:33,660 --> 00:59:35,220
Why I...I can't.
1108
00:59:35,250 --> 00:59:38,040
Well, at least you know enough
to take a woman in your arms.
1109
00:59:38,070 --> 00:59:39,680
Oh, Cyrano, please!
1110
00:59:39,790 --> 00:59:41,610
What, and make your love
a little comedy.
1111
00:59:41,650 --> 00:59:44,060
Cyrano, I cannot live
unless I win her back, now.
1112
00:59:44,100 --> 00:59:44,610
This moment!
1113
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,890
This moment. How the devil
am I to teach you now, this mo...
1114
00:59:47,980 --> 00:59:48,940
(Christian)
Her window.
1115
00:59:49,510 --> 00:59:51,690
- Help me, Cyrano, help me.
- Shhhh.
1116
00:59:53,290 --> 00:59:54,800
(Cyrano)
It does seem fairly dark.
1117
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:55,780
(Christian)
Well? Well?
1118
00:59:57,490 --> 00:59:59,190
(Cyrano)
It is more than
you deserve.
1119
01:00:00,550 --> 01:00:02,010
(Cyrano)
I must try out what
can be done.
1120
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:03,040
(Cyrano)
Stand over there.
1121
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,500
(Cyrano)
Idiot, here, before the balcony.
I'll whisper you what to say.
1122
01:00:09,540 --> 01:00:11,380
- She'll hear..
- Shhhh. Call her.
1123
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:13,690
(Christian)
Roxane.
1124
01:00:14,950 --> 01:00:17,330
(Christian louder)
Roxane.
1125
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,220
(balcony window opens)
1126
01:00:21,690 --> 01:00:22,760
Who's calling?
1127
01:00:23,430 --> 01:00:24,240
Christian.
1128
01:00:24,570 --> 01:00:25,670
You again.
1129
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:27,420
I...had to tell you.
1130
01:00:27,710 --> 01:00:29,340
No. Go away.
You tell me nothing.
1131
01:00:29,370 --> 01:00:30,390
Please.
1132
01:00:30,430 --> 01:00:32,240
You do not
love me anymore.
1133
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:34,810
(Christian copies Cyrano)
No, not anymore.
1134
01:00:35,530 --> 01:00:37,340
I love you evermore,
1135
01:00:38,150 --> 01:00:40,050
and evermore and more.
1136
01:00:41,190 --> 01:00:42,640
Oh, a little better.
1137
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,160
Love grows and struggles
like an angry child.
1138
01:00:48,710 --> 01:00:50,620
Breaking my heart.
1139
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,070
His cradle...
1140
01:00:53,110 --> 01:00:54,630
Better still.
1141
01:00:55,230 --> 01:00:57,390
But such a babe is dangerous.
1142
01:00:57,910 --> 01:01:00,140
Why not have
smothered it newborn?
1143
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:03,290
And so I do.
1144
01:01:03,650 --> 01:01:05,290
And yet he lives.
1145
01:01:06,340 --> 01:01:08,910
I found as you sha...
you shall find
1146
01:01:10,250 --> 01:01:14,400
this newborn babe...
and infant Hercules!
1147
01:01:14,900 --> 01:01:15,430
Good.
1148
01:01:15,460 --> 01:01:16,820
Strong enough at birth
1149
01:01:17,740 --> 01:01:19,600
to strangle
those two serpents
1150
01:01:20,010 --> 01:01:20,550
doubt and
1151
01:01:20,590 --> 01:01:21,090
<i>What?</i>
1152
01:01:21,250 --> 01:01:22,600
pride!
1153
01:01:23,410 --> 01:01:24,440
Why, very good.
1154
01:01:25,330 --> 01:01:27,880
Only, tell me why
you speak so haltingly.
1155
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,580
Has your imagination
gone....lame?
1156
01:01:33,260 --> 01:01:35,130
(Cyrano)
This grows too difficult.
1157
01:01:35,530 --> 01:01:38,320
Your words tonight
hesitate, why?
1158
01:01:38,630 --> 01:01:42,970
Through the warm summer gloom,
they grope in darkness
1159
01:01:43,170 --> 01:01:44,690
toward the light of you.
1160
01:01:46,010 --> 01:01:47,860
My words are
heavy with honey,
1161
01:01:47,900 --> 01:01:49,360
like returning bees.
1162
01:01:50,190 --> 01:01:52,310
Yet they must fly so high.
1163
01:01:52,530 --> 01:01:54,140
Come nearer then.
Stand you on the bench.
1164
01:01:54,170 --> 01:01:55,000
No.
1165
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:56,190
Then I'll come down.
1166
01:01:56,230 --> 01:01:57,110
NO!
1167
01:01:57,570 --> 01:01:59,380
And why so great a no?
1168
01:02:00,490 --> 01:02:02,920
Let me enjoy the one
moment I ever...
1169
01:02:03,710 --> 01:02:07,110
My one chance
to speak to you...unseen.
1170
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:08,290
Unseen?
1171
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:09,740
Yes. Yes.
1172
01:02:10,070 --> 01:02:12,380
Night making all things
dimly beautiful
1173
01:02:12,410 --> 01:02:13,770
one veil over us both.
1174
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,040
You need no eyes
to hear my heart.
1175
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:20,410
Oh, tonight, let it seem as if
I speak for the first time.
1176
01:02:21,150 --> 01:02:22,110
For the first time?
1177
01:02:22,140 --> 01:02:23,000
Yes.
1178
01:02:23,940 --> 01:02:25,780
Your voice, even,
is not the same.
1179
01:02:25,810 --> 01:02:26,990
How should it be.
1180
01:02:27,030 --> 01:02:28,450
I have another
voice tonight.
1181
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:31,250
My own, myself,... daring!
1182
01:02:31,610 --> 01:02:32,610
Why daring?
1183
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,600
Because, what am I, what is any man
would he dare ask for you?
1184
01:02:36,630 --> 01:02:40,780
Therefore my heart has hidden behind
poetic words and tinsel phrases.
1185
01:02:41,260 --> 01:02:43,640
But are they not sweet,
those pretty phrases?
1186
01:02:43,670 --> 01:02:45,630
Not enough sweet
for you and me tonight.
1187
01:02:47,530 --> 01:02:49,240
You never spoke
to me like this.
1188
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,510
I tell you, there comes
one moment, once,
1189
01:02:51,540 --> 01:02:53,800
and heaven help those
who pass that moment by,
1190
01:02:53,830 --> 01:02:56,110
when beauty stands
looking into the soul
1191
01:02:56,150 --> 01:03:01,810
with grave, sweet eyes,
that sicken at pretty words.
1192
01:03:02,650 --> 01:03:06,260
Yes...that is love.
1193
01:03:06,290 --> 01:03:07,010
Love.
1194
01:03:07,050 --> 01:03:09,260
A love beyond breath,
beyond reason,
1195
01:03:09,290 --> 01:03:11,590
beyond love's own
power of loving.
1196
01:03:11,630 --> 01:03:14,200
Your name is like a golden bell
hung in my heart,
1197
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:18,450
and when I think of you I tremble,
and the bell swings and rings,
1198
01:03:18,610 --> 01:03:28,580
Roxane! Roxane!
Along my veins...Roxane.
1199
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,970
Yes...that is love.
1200
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,770
(Cyrano)
Yes...that is love.
1201
01:03:36,090 --> 01:03:38,920
That wind of terrible
and jealous beauty,
1202
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:44,200
that dark fire,
that soaring, blinding music.
1203
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,690
Yet, you may take my happiness
to make you happier
1204
01:03:47,730 --> 01:03:49,410
even though you
never know I gave it to you.
1205
01:03:49,940 --> 01:03:55,700
Only let me hear, sometimes, all alone,
the distant laughter of your joy.
1206
01:03:56,740 --> 01:03:58,470
Do you begin
to understand a little?
1207
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,200
Can you feel my soul there
in the darkness breathe on you?
1208
01:04:03,230 --> 01:04:06,630
Oh, only tonight,
now I dare say these things.
1209
01:04:06,790 --> 01:04:09,400
I to you, and you hear them.
1210
01:04:10,030 --> 01:04:12,650
It is my voice, mine, my own
that makes you tremble
1211
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,390
there in the green gloom,
above me, for you do tremble
1212
01:04:15,430 --> 01:04:18,110
as a blossom among the leaves,
you tremble, and I can feel
1213
01:04:18,140 --> 01:04:19,670
all the way down along
this jasmine branch
1214
01:04:19,710 --> 01:04:23,700
whether you will unhold
the passion of you trembling.
1215
01:04:24,340 --> 01:04:25,960
Yes, I do tremble.
1216
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,880
And I weep, and I love you,
and I am yours,
1217
01:04:29,910 --> 01:04:31,720
and you have made me thus.
1218
01:04:36,710 --> 01:04:38,250
I have done this to you.
1219
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,380
I myself.
1220
01:04:44,970 --> 01:04:47,240
Only let me ask
one thing more.
1221
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:48,900
I want a kiss!
1222
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:52,080
You ask me for...
1223
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:53,060
I...yes.
1224
01:04:53,100 --> 01:04:54,260
That is to say...
1225
01:04:54,780 --> 01:04:55,770
I mean...
1226
01:04:56,140 --> 01:04:57,450
You've gone too far.
1227
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,370
If she's willing, why
not make the most of it?
1228
01:04:59,410 --> 01:05:04,270
I, I ask.
I know I ask too much.
1229
01:05:05,150 --> 01:05:06,420
Only one?
1230
01:05:07,550 --> 01:05:08,630
Is that all?
1231
01:05:09,150 --> 01:05:12,210
All?
How much more than all?
1232
01:05:12,250 --> 01:05:16,030
I know I startle you,
I...I ask, I ask you to refuse.
1233
01:05:16,070 --> 01:05:17,200
Why? Why? Why?
1234
01:05:17,230 --> 01:05:18,350
Christian, be quiet.
1235
01:05:18,390 --> 01:05:19,430
What is that your say?
1236
01:05:19,470 --> 01:05:21,810
I am angry with myself,
because I know I go too far
1237
01:05:21,850 --> 01:05:26,270
and so I say to myself,
CHRISTIAN, BE QUIET!
1238
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:28,300
Watch it, someone comes.
1239
01:05:36,390 --> 01:05:39,180
Well, sir, I am looking
for the house of madame Roxane Robin.
1240
01:05:39,220 --> 01:05:43,450
This is not the house. That way.
To the right. Keep to the right.
1241
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:44,330
I thank you sir.
1242
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,880
I shall say my beads for you
to the very last bead.
1243
01:05:49,340 --> 01:05:50,680
Win me that kiss?
1244
01:05:51,370 --> 01:05:52,070
No!
1245
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:53,780
Sooner or later.
1246
01:05:59,170 --> 01:06:00,510
So that is true.
1247
01:06:01,460 --> 01:06:07,540
Sooner or later must be so, because,
she is young, and you are handsome.
1248
01:06:09,170 --> 01:06:15,240
Since it must be, I'd rather be
myself the cause, if it must be.
1249
01:06:16,990 --> 01:06:19,620
(balcony window opens)
1250
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:24,660
Are you still there?
1251
01:06:24,690 --> 01:06:25,470
(Cyrano)
Yes.
1252
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:28,740
We were speaking of...
1253
01:06:30,090 --> 01:06:32,450
A kiss.
- A kiss.
1254
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,340
And what is a kiss
when all is done?
1255
01:06:34,930 --> 01:06:37,080
A vow taken before
the shrine of memory.
1256
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,650
A rosy dot
over the "i" of loving.
1257
01:06:39,790 --> 01:06:42,950
- A secret whisper
to listen if the past.
1258
01:06:42,980 --> 01:06:43,650
Shhh.
1259
01:06:43,690 --> 01:06:46,720
A moment free to mortal
with a rush of wing from Ceden.
1260
01:06:46,750 --> 01:06:48,220
A sacrament of blossoms.
1261
01:06:48,260 --> 01:06:53,250
A new song sung by two hearts
to an old, simple tune.
1262
01:06:53,290 --> 01:06:54,430
Hush.
1263
01:06:54,460 --> 01:06:56,050
Why? What shame?
1264
01:06:58,010 --> 01:07:01,310
No.
No shame.
1265
01:07:01,610 --> 01:07:02,770
Then come.
1266
01:07:03,550 --> 01:07:05,680
Gather your sacred blossoms.
1267
01:07:07,250 --> 01:07:09,230
Your moment made immortal.
1268
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:09,860
Climb!
1269
01:07:10,660 --> 01:07:12,300
- But, climb?
- Many more!
1270
01:07:22,410 --> 01:07:23,760
Roxane.
1271
01:07:33,870 --> 01:07:34,690
(sigh)
1272
01:07:36,090 --> 01:07:39,770
Ah, Roxane.
I have won what I have wanted.
1273
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:45,410
A feast of love,
and I am faint with hunger.
1274
01:07:48,110 --> 01:07:51,040
Yet, I have something here
that is mine now,...
1275
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,380
and was not mine before.
1276
01:07:54,220 --> 01:07:56,790
I spoke the words
that won her.
1277
01:07:57,890 --> 01:08:05,890
She kisses my words.
My words...upon his lips.
1278
01:08:07,230 --> 01:08:08,650
(gate opens)
1279
01:08:13,250 --> 01:08:14,670
What, dear Father,
lost your way again?
1280
01:08:14,710 --> 01:08:16,270
But, she lives here,
Madame Robin.
1281
01:08:16,300 --> 01:08:17,830
Oh, I thought
you said, Rolen?
1282
01:08:17,860 --> 01:08:19,850
No, r..o..b..i..n, Robin.
1283
01:08:19,890 --> 01:08:21,030
Oh, Robin, I see.
1284
01:08:21,070 --> 01:08:23,090
I'm too old
to chase wild geese
1285
01:08:23,130 --> 01:08:25,080
- my feet...
- Oh, what a shame,
1286
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,920
(knocking on door)
however, I'm sure there's someone at home.
1287
01:08:29,330 --> 01:08:30,120
(door opens)
1288
01:08:30,150 --> 01:08:30,860
What is it?
1289
01:08:30,890 --> 01:08:34,570
Yeah, I'm looking for
the young lady, Madam Rolen
1290
01:08:34,610 --> 01:08:35,840
Rolen?
1291
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:37,080
Robin!
1292
01:08:37,950 --> 01:08:40,050
Madame!
A letter for you.
1293
01:08:40,590 --> 01:08:42,070
Yes, yes, I heard.
1294
01:08:42,970 --> 01:08:43,650
Cyrano.
1295
01:08:43,690 --> 01:08:46,080
Uh, passing by cousin,
I saw this light.
1296
01:08:46,700 --> 01:08:50,330
Uh, some matter
profitable to the soul.
1297
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:52,550
A very noble lord gave it to me.
1298
01:08:52,750 --> 01:08:53,640
(Christian)
What is it?
1299
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,100
<i>My regiment has been
ordered to the front. </i>
1300
01:08:57,130 --> 01:08:59,490
<i>I cannot allow you
to delay any longer.</i>
1301
01:08:59,530 --> 01:09:01,820
<i>This simple old monk,
who knows nothing,</i>
1302
01:09:01,850 --> 01:09:04,190
<i>will marry us tonight.
My love, Antoine de Guiche.</i>
1303
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,110
(Roxane changes everything)
1304
01:09:07,150 --> 01:09:08,880
Father, this letter
concerns you.
1305
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,930
"Madame, the Cardinal
will have his way,
1306
01:09:13,970 --> 01:09:15,530
"although against your will.
1307
01:09:15,710 --> 01:09:18,150
"That is why I am
sending this to you,
1308
01:09:18,180 --> 01:09:20,470
"by a most holy man.
1309
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,160
"Intelligent, discreet.
1310
01:09:23,580 --> 01:09:26,660
"You will communicate
to him our order to perform
1311
01:09:26,900 --> 01:09:31,160
"here and at once
the rite of holy matrimony.
1312
01:09:32,570 --> 01:09:35,910
"You and Christian will be
married privately in your house.
1313
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,760
"Be resigned to the
Cardinal's command,
1314
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:41,930
"who sends herewith
his blessings.
1315
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,060
"Your very humble,
and etcetera..."
1316
01:09:44,940 --> 01:09:46,750
Oh, this is terrible.
1317
01:09:48,220 --> 01:09:49,850
Oh, you're to be
the, uh...
1318
01:09:49,890 --> 01:09:51,490
I am to be the bridegroom.
1319
01:09:53,950 --> 01:09:56,230
Uh, look here.
A postscript.
1320
01:09:56,780 --> 01:10:02,320
"Give to the monastery,
in my name 120 pieces of gold."
1321
01:10:02,350 --> 01:10:04,070
One hundred and twenty...
1322
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,530
Oh, a worthy lord.
A very worthy lord.
1323
01:10:09,470 --> 01:10:12,030
Daughter, resign yourself.
1324
01:10:12,070 --> 01:10:14,080
I am resigned.
1325
01:10:22,350 --> 01:10:24,500
The Guiche is coming, too.
Don't let him enter.
1326
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:25,730
Not let him enter?
1327
01:10:25,770 --> 01:10:27,790
Until we're married, please.
1328
01:10:28,610 --> 01:10:30,340
(door slams shut)
1329
01:10:44,330 --> 01:10:45,250
(Count)
What is that?
1330
01:10:45,340 --> 01:10:46,330
(Cyrano)
Me?
1331
01:10:46,370 --> 01:10:48,360
- Why, where did you come from?
- The moon.
1332
01:10:48,390 --> 01:10:49,330
- You...
- From the moon.
1333
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:50,690
I have just returned
from the moon.
1334
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:52,420
- The fellow's mad!
-Like a bomb, I tell you,
1335
01:10:52,460 --> 01:10:54,130
- I fell from the moon!
- Your feet must...
1336
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:55,450
- I say THE MOON!
1337
01:10:55,480 --> 01:10:57,580
- Very well, if you say so.
- Thank you.
1338
01:10:57,610 --> 01:10:58,610
- Raving mad.
1339
01:11:00,660 --> 01:11:02,850
- Where am I?
- My dear sir!
1340
01:11:02,890 --> 01:11:04,080
- What place is this?
What country?
1341
01:11:04,110 --> 01:11:06,170
- Please, let me pass.
- This face, good heavens!
1342
01:11:06,210 --> 01:11:08,710
Maul, a robber.
Where am I?
1343
01:11:08,750 --> 01:11:12,830
- A lady is waiting for me.
- Oh, this is Paris, huh?
1344
01:11:12,870 --> 01:11:13,620
You fool!
1345
01:11:13,650 --> 01:11:14,800
Dear old Paris.
1346
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,750
Excuse my appearance.
I arrived by the last thunderbolt.
1347
01:11:17,790 --> 01:11:19,970
A trifled singed
as I passed through the ether.
1348
01:11:20,470 --> 01:11:21,320
Monsieur!
1349
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:22,080
Sir?
1350
01:11:22,130 --> 01:11:23,750
That will do, now. I wish...
1351
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,600
I know, you wish to look for
my own list of nature for moons
1352
01:11:25,630 --> 01:11:27,820
and happiness and character
of it's surface, if any.
1353
01:11:27,850 --> 01:11:29,060
I desire no such thing, I...
1354
01:11:29,100 --> 01:11:30,060
Of course not.
1355
01:11:32,940 --> 01:11:34,330
You wish to know
by what mysterious
1356
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:35,570
means I reached the moon.
1357
01:11:35,610 --> 01:11:37,870
Well, a very secret affair of state,
1358
01:11:37,900 --> 01:11:41,770
but confidentially
a new invention of my own.
1359
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:43,190
Drunk, two ways.
Well a man..
1360
01:11:43,230 --> 01:11:46,050
Oh, no. In truth I have
my choice of several inventions.
1361
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:46,600
Uh?
1362
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:50,850
Yes, several ways
to violate the virgin sky.
1363
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:52,210
Several?
1364
01:11:52,250 --> 01:11:53,510
Several.
1365
01:11:53,540 --> 01:11:57,520
As, for instance, smoke
having a natural tendency to rise,
1366
01:11:57,550 --> 01:12:02,050
blow in a globe
enough to raise me.
1367
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:03,300
Yes, that makes one.
1368
01:12:03,330 --> 01:12:06,780
Again, I might construct a rocket
in the shape of a HUGE locust
1369
01:12:06,820 --> 01:12:10,810
driven by impulses up within
a saltpeter from the rear
1370
01:12:10,850 --> 01:12:14,050
and thus speed upwards,
like, thus!
1371
01:12:14,260 --> 01:12:15,260
Yes, another?
1372
01:12:15,290 --> 01:12:18,950
Finally, seated on an iron plate,
hurl a magnet into the air.
1373
01:12:18,980 --> 01:12:21,810
The iron follows.
I catch the magnet.
1374
01:12:21,850 --> 01:12:25,330
Throw it again, and
so proceed indefinitely.
1375
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,460
Excellent, and
which did you adopt?
1376
01:12:31,450 --> 01:12:32,370
Why none of them.
1377
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:34,350
Yet another.
1378
01:12:34,390 --> 01:12:35,740
Which was...?
1379
01:12:46,810 --> 01:12:47,500
Guess.
1380
01:12:47,860 --> 01:12:49,370
Ahhh, I can't!
1381
01:12:50,090 --> 01:12:51,100
Try.
1382
01:12:52,340 --> 01:12:53,980
Interesting idiot, this.
1383
01:13:05,350 --> 01:13:06,540
Have you guessed it yet?
1384
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:07,960
Why, no, what is it?
1385
01:13:13,780 --> 01:13:15,870
Alas, you will never know,
but no matter.
1386
01:13:15,910 --> 01:13:18,470
You are free and
they are bound in wedlock.
1387
01:13:18,510 --> 01:13:21,010
I drunk that voice,
and that nose, Cyrano!
1388
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:23,710
Cyrano. This very moment
they have exchanged vows.
1389
01:13:23,750 --> 01:13:24,460
Who?
1390
01:13:29,820 --> 01:13:31,530
My sincere compliments.
1391
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,900
You, also, my traveler in space.
1392
01:13:34,940 --> 01:13:37,800
My Lord, the heads of Capathieu
and Joyce have joined together.
1393
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:38,750
Quite so!
1394
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:44,160
Madame, kindly bid
your... husband farewell.
1395
01:13:44,190 --> 01:13:46,670
Your regiment leaves tonight, sir.
Report at once!
1396
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:49,320
But, the Cadets are not called.
1397
01:13:49,350 --> 01:13:51,850
They are, indeed, and
under my command.
1398
01:13:52,710 --> 01:13:55,080
Out there we may
have an accounting.
1399
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:58,130
Somehow, that news
fails to disquiet me.
1400
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,190
Here are the orders.
Baron, deliver this.
1401
01:14:02,500 --> 01:14:03,650
Christian!
1402
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,660
The bridal night
is not so near.
1403
01:14:10,090 --> 01:14:13,400
Somehow that news
fails to disquiet me.
1404
01:14:17,710 --> 01:14:19,340
Baron, you have your orders.
1405
01:14:36,270 --> 01:14:37,530
Farewell, Roxane.
1406
01:14:38,290 --> 01:14:40,490
Take care of him, for me.
Promise me never to let him
1407
01:14:40,530 --> 01:14:41,400
do anything dangerous.
1408
01:14:41,430 --> 01:14:42,890
I will do my best.
I cannot promise.
1409
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:44,970
I thought you brave always.
Make him be careful.
1410
01:14:45,010 --> 01:14:46,070
Yes, yes, I'll try.
1411
01:14:46,110 --> 01:14:47,840
Be sure to keep him
warm and dry!
1412
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:49,150
Yes, if possible.
1413
01:14:49,190 --> 01:14:51,820
Have him write to me
every single day!
1414
01:14:51,860 --> 01:14:54,090
That, I promise you.
1415
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,970
(the war with Spain)
1416
01:15:40,820 --> 01:15:41,540
Halt!
1417
01:16:03,370 --> 01:16:03,920
Uh!
1418
01:16:13,930 --> 01:16:18,590
(Madame Baroness de Neuvillette,
Rue Marais No. 12, Paris)
1419
01:16:46,610 --> 01:16:48,170
The situation
is simple, gentlemen.
1420
01:16:48,420 --> 01:16:53,340
We have besieged Arras.
The Prince of Spain has besieged us.
1421
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,960
Consequently, we
are surrounded.
1422
01:16:56,050 --> 01:16:58,920
- A fine war. Where
the besiegers are besieged
1423
01:16:58,950 --> 01:17:00,020
and starve to death.
1424
01:17:00,060 --> 01:17:01,990
Yes, but the Marshal has
devised a brilliant plan
1425
01:17:02,030 --> 01:17:03,480
for bringing in food
this very night.
1426
01:17:03,510 --> 01:17:04,460
Now, see here.
1427
01:17:04,500 --> 01:17:06,240
Spare us the details, Colonel.
1428
01:17:06,270 --> 01:17:08,820
Merely inform us
when the food arrives.
1429
01:17:08,860 --> 01:17:11,380
True, we are hungry.
But why blame me?
1430
01:17:11,700 --> 01:17:13,320
I'm only your Colonel.
1431
01:17:14,700 --> 01:17:16,910
Oh, yes, I know
you disprove of me.
1432
01:17:17,020 --> 01:17:18,940
Call me courtier, politician.
1433
01:17:19,430 --> 01:17:22,080
Well, I can afford you little hates.
1434
01:17:22,110 --> 01:17:24,730
My conduct under fire
is well known.
1435
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,170
It was only yesterday
I repelled a Spanish attack.
1436
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,070
Pouring my men down
like an avalanche.
1437
01:17:29,250 --> 01:17:30,710
I, myself lead the charge.
1438
01:17:30,900 --> 01:17:33,330
- And your white scarf?
(through a cannon barrel)
1439
01:17:33,370 --> 01:17:34,130
Cyrano!
1440
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:39,140
And your white scarf?
1441
01:17:39,150 --> 01:17:40,480
Eh, you heard that episode?
1442
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:44,110
Yes, I was so far in advance
I was in danger of being captured.
1443
01:17:44,180 --> 01:17:46,570
But I thought quickly,
took off and flung away
1444
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,290
the scarf that marked
my military rank.
1445
01:17:48,420 --> 01:17:51,150
And so being inconspicuous
escaped among my own force,
1446
01:17:51,410 --> 01:17:54,250
rallied them, returned,
and won the day.
1447
01:17:54,290 --> 01:17:55,500
What do you say to that?
1448
01:17:55,540 --> 01:17:58,550
Still, enough that is not likely
to resign the privilege of being a target.
1449
01:17:58,580 --> 01:18:01,690
How pleasant for you
that you are denied that privilege.
1450
01:18:01,730 --> 01:18:03,650
Pleasant?
Lend me your scarf.
1451
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:05,570
With your permission I shall
lead the first charge tonight
1452
01:18:05,610 --> 01:18:06,890
wearing it over my shoulder.
1453
01:18:06,930 --> 01:18:07,720
What bluster.
1454
01:18:07,750 --> 01:18:09,630
You're safe making that offer,
and you know it.
1455
01:18:09,670 --> 01:18:12,620
My scarf lies on the
river bank between the lines.
1456
01:18:12,650 --> 01:18:15,560
A spot swept by artillery.
Impossible to reach alive.
1457
01:18:15,700 --> 01:18:16,700
Yes.
1458
01:18:16,730 --> 01:18:20,500
(displays the Colonel's scarf)
1459
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:22,410
Here.
1460
01:18:22,580 --> 01:18:24,590
(laughter)
1461
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:26,500
Thank you.
1462
01:18:28,180 --> 01:18:31,000
This bit of white is
what I need to make a signal.
1463
01:18:31,820 --> 01:18:33,360
I was hesitating.
1464
01:18:33,940 --> 01:18:35,720
You have decided me.
1465
01:18:41,370 --> 01:18:43,010
- Stand or I'll fire!
- Hold you fire.
1466
01:18:43,050 --> 01:18:44,650
There's a man down
there running away.
1467
01:18:44,690 --> 01:18:46,700
Yes, a Spaniard.
1468
01:18:47,440 --> 01:18:50,310
But very useful as a spy
to both sides.
1469
01:18:51,270 --> 01:18:52,480
As I was about
to tell you.
1470
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,100
The Marshal has withdrawn
more than half our forces here.
1471
01:18:55,140 --> 01:18:57,190
Fortunately, the Spaniards
do not know that.
1472
01:18:57,230 --> 01:19:00,470
Oh, yes, they do now,
and they will attack tonight.
1473
01:19:00,510 --> 01:19:02,240
At this point.
1474
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:04,520
Your revenge, eh?
1475
01:19:04,550 --> 01:19:06,670
I make not great
pretense in loving you.
1476
01:19:06,770 --> 01:19:10,170
But since you gentlemen
esteem yourselves invincible,
1477
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,710
the bravest of the brave,
and all that.
1478
01:19:12,750 --> 01:19:14,120
Why need we be personal.
1479
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,710
The Marshal needs
a diversion, and I serve him
1480
01:19:16,740 --> 01:19:19,040
in choosing as I chose.
1481
01:19:19,210 --> 01:19:21,440
As you can see, Captain,
the great thing is to gain time.
1482
01:19:21,470 --> 01:19:23,070
To hold until the Marshal returns.
1483
01:19:23,180 --> 01:19:24,980
- And to gain time?
1484
01:19:25,490 --> 01:19:31,370
You will all be so kind
as to lay down your lives.
1485
01:19:39,610 --> 01:19:40,700
Christian?
1486
01:19:40,740 --> 01:19:41,400
Yes.
1487
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:46,130
Roxane?
1488
01:19:46,940 --> 01:19:49,260
I should like to say
farewell to her
1489
01:19:49,290 --> 01:19:51,580
with my whole
heart for her to keep.
1490
01:19:53,630 --> 01:19:55,610
I have taken the liberty of...
1491
01:19:58,580 --> 01:20:03,760
(the first letter
Christian is aware of)
1492
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:05,110
But, wait.
1493
01:20:07,270 --> 01:20:08,180
This little spot.
1494
01:20:08,620 --> 01:20:09,360
Spot?
1495
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:10,100
Yes.
1496
01:20:10,470 --> 01:20:11,550
A tear.
1497
01:20:13,500 --> 01:20:14,210
Is nothing.
1498
01:20:14,250 --> 01:20:16,860
A poet while he writes
is like a lover in his lady's arms,
1499
01:20:16,890 --> 01:20:19,060
believing his imagination,
everything seems real.
1500
01:20:19,090 --> 01:20:20,710
There's half the charm
of writing.
1501
01:20:21,230 --> 01:20:24,000
Now, I made this letter
so pathetic, that,
1502
01:20:24,030 --> 01:20:27,290
while I was writing it,
I wept.
1503
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:28,110
You wept?
1504
01:20:28,650 --> 01:20:31,590
Why, yes, because
it is a little thing to die,
1505
01:20:32,500 --> 01:20:36,710
but not to see her,...
that is terrible.
1506
01:20:37,700 --> 01:20:41,890
I shall never...,
you will never...
1507
01:20:42,480 --> 01:20:43,690
Give me that.
1508
01:20:45,190 --> 01:20:48,500
- Halt. Who goes there.
- On the service of the King.
1509
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:01,330
- The King!
- Fall in...
1510
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:11,620
Good evening.
1511
01:21:11,650 --> 01:21:13,540
On the King's service, you?
1512
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:25,850
- Gentlemen,...
- What are you doing here?
1513
01:21:25,890 --> 01:21:28,300
- We heard rumors at home
you were hungry,
1514
01:21:28,340 --> 01:21:29,810
- so we came prepared.
1515
01:21:29,850 --> 01:21:34,500
The Spaniards adored the fare,
but they missed the fowl!
1516
01:21:34,530 --> 01:21:37,560
(soldiers clamor for food)
1517
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:47,020
But why did you come here
into this, this danger?
1518
01:21:47,060 --> 01:21:49,420
They said in Paris
there was no fighting.
1519
01:21:50,450 --> 01:21:53,620
Besides, it was your own fault.
1520
01:22:01,410 --> 01:22:03,770
Think of the
letters you have written me.
1521
01:22:04,050 --> 01:22:06,510
How many times!
Every day!
1522
01:22:06,550 --> 01:22:07,680
Every day?
1523
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:08,820
Of course.
1524
01:22:08,980 --> 01:22:11,560
And each one
more wonderful than the last.
1525
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:14,820
All this, for a few absurd love letters.
1526
01:22:14,860 --> 01:22:18,050
Hush. Absurd?
Your letters...no, never.
1527
01:22:19,030 --> 01:22:22,730
Every one was like hearing your voice
that night in the dark. Remember?
1528
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:26,590
Like your arms around me.
I read them over and over.
1529
01:22:26,630 --> 01:22:30,420
Every page was like
a petal fallen from you soul.
1530
01:22:30,460 --> 01:22:33,350
Like the light
and the fire of a great love.
1531
01:22:33,390 --> 01:22:36,020
- Sweet and strong and true.
- Sweet.
1532
01:22:36,180 --> 01:22:37,280
Strong.
1533
01:22:37,590 --> 01:22:38,490
True?
1534
01:22:41,570 --> 01:22:43,090
Oh, my Christian.
1535
01:22:43,690 --> 01:22:46,420
I came here to ask forgiveness.
1536
01:22:47,660 --> 01:22:49,380
It is time to be forgiven.
1537
01:22:49,860 --> 01:22:51,950
Now, when we
may die so soon.
1538
01:22:53,780 --> 01:22:55,380
Forgive me for being
light and vain
1539
01:22:55,410 --> 01:22:57,570
and loving you only
because you were handsome.
1540
01:22:57,600 --> 01:22:59,230
- For now...
- Now?
1541
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:01,940
I love you for yourself.
1542
01:23:02,350 --> 01:23:04,090
For what you are.
1543
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:05,340
Roxane.
1544
01:23:05,910 --> 01:23:09,000
How you must have suffered.
For you saw how frivolous I was.
1545
01:23:09,030 --> 01:23:11,300
And to be loved
for the mere costume,
1546
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,090
for the poor, casual
body you went about in.
1547
01:23:14,750 --> 01:23:17,620
To a soul like yours,
that must have been torture.
1548
01:23:17,650 --> 01:23:18,390
No.
1549
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:23,140
I understand.
1550
01:23:23,790 --> 01:23:25,930
You cannot perfectly
believe in me,
1551
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:27,530
a...a love like this...
1552
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:29,090
I want no love like this.
1553
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,020
I want love only for...
1554
01:23:31,050 --> 01:23:33,090
Only for what every
woman sees in you.
1555
01:23:33,700 --> 01:23:35,030
I can to better than that.
1556
01:23:35,060 --> 01:23:37,240
No, it...it was best before.
1557
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,090
You do not
altogether know me.
1558
01:23:40,540 --> 01:23:42,260
I was a child.
1559
01:23:42,350 --> 01:23:43,650
I'm a woman now.
1560
01:23:44,250 --> 01:23:46,720
- If...if you were less handsome,
- No.
1561
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:50,130
unattractive, ugly even,
I should love you, still.
1562
01:23:50,770 --> 01:23:51,900
Do you mean that?
1563
01:23:52,510 --> 01:23:53,750
I do mean that.
1564
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:55,020
Ugly?
1565
01:23:55,100 --> 01:23:56,200
Even then.
1566
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:58,050
Now, are you happy?
1567
01:24:03,470 --> 01:24:04,650
Yes.
1568
01:24:04,690 --> 01:24:05,500
What is it?
1569
01:24:06,190 --> 01:24:08,690
Nothing, only, Cyrano...
1570
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:10,830
Cyrano.
1571
01:24:12,050 --> 01:24:14,090
he has something
to tell you.
1572
01:24:16,180 --> 01:24:17,200
Where are you going?
1573
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:20,690
I...will...return...in a moment.
1574
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:30,050
Cyrano.
1575
01:24:30,650 --> 01:24:32,480
Your wife, sir,
she goes with me?
1576
01:24:32,510 --> 01:24:33,340
No, sir, she remains.
1577
01:24:33,380 --> 01:24:34,670
There is still time
for her to escape.
1578
01:24:34,710 --> 01:24:35,640
She stays!
1579
01:24:36,030 --> 01:24:36,790
Very well.
1580
01:24:36,820 --> 01:24:38,950
Someone give me a musket.
I stay here also.
1581
01:24:39,420 --> 01:24:40,640
Sir, you show courage.
1582
01:24:40,670 --> 01:24:42,890
What, shall I run away,
and leave a woman?
1583
01:24:43,450 --> 01:24:45,320
Colonel, my compliments, sir.
1584
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:47,810
What of Roxane?
1585
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:48,470
Wait.
1586
01:24:49,350 --> 01:24:50,860
Well, what is it?
You look so...
1587
01:24:52,830 --> 01:24:54,580
She does not love me.
1588
01:24:54,990 --> 01:24:57,310
- You think not?
- She loves you.
1589
01:24:57,340 --> 01:24:59,630
- No.
- She loves only my soul.
1590
01:24:59,660 --> 01:25:00,370
- No.
- Yes!
1591
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:03,140
That means you.
And you love her.
1592
01:25:03,170 --> 01:25:05,300
- I?
- I see. I know.
1593
01:25:05,340 --> 01:25:08,310
You wrote her,
everyday, every day!
1594
01:25:08,820 --> 01:25:10,030
- Perfectly simple.
- Simple?
1595
01:25:10,060 --> 01:25:11,700
For a month,
we've been blockaded here.
1596
01:25:11,740 --> 01:25:13,340
How did you send
all those letters?
1597
01:25:13,370 --> 01:25:14,500
Before daylight
I managed...
1598
01:25:14,530 --> 01:25:16,070
To face death
everyday.
1599
01:25:16,820 --> 01:25:17,950
You love her.
1600
01:25:19,020 --> 01:25:20,190
Yes.
1601
01:25:26,950 --> 01:25:27,890
Tell her so.
1602
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:29,250
- No.
- Why not?
1603
01:25:29,350 --> 01:25:32,290
Why?
Look at me.
1604
01:25:32,590 --> 01:25:35,420
She would love me
if I were ugly.
1605
01:25:35,990 --> 01:25:38,820
- She said that?
- Yes. Now, go to her.
1606
01:25:40,090 --> 01:25:42,410
Nonsense. Do not
believe any such madness.
1607
01:25:42,440 --> 01:25:44,730
Go back to her.
You never will be ugly.
1608
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:45,810
Go!
It is you she loves.
1609
01:25:45,850 --> 01:25:46,870
That is what
we shall see.
1610
01:25:46,900 --> 01:25:47,840
No, no!
1611
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:49,480
- Let her chose between us.
- No.
1612
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:51,510
- Tell her everything.
- Why do you torture me?
1613
01:25:51,550 --> 01:25:54,700
Shall I ruin your happiness,
because I was born with a pretty face?
1614
01:25:54,740 --> 01:25:57,210
Am I to ruin yours,
because I happen to have power
1615
01:25:57,250 --> 01:25:58,750
to say what you perhaps feel?
1616
01:25:58,780 --> 01:26:00,910
- Tell her!
- Don't drive me too far!
1617
01:26:00,950 --> 01:26:03,210
- I'm tired of being my own rival.
- Hard to know.
1618
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:05,470
My secret marriage, that
can be annulled, I expect.
1619
01:26:05,500 --> 01:26:07,790
I want her love
for the poor fool than I am,
1620
01:26:07,860 --> 01:26:09,020
or not at all.
1621
01:26:09,390 --> 01:26:12,090
Oh, I'm going through with this.
I'll know one way or the other.
1622
01:26:12,870 --> 01:26:15,280
Now, go!....Tell her.
1623
01:26:15,480 --> 01:26:16,790
Let her chose one of us.
1624
01:26:17,570 --> 01:26:18,780
It will be you.
1625
01:26:19,670 --> 01:26:21,330
I hope so.
1626
01:26:33,070 --> 01:26:33,820
- Captain!
1627
01:26:36,570 --> 01:26:38,100
The Spanish fires are going out.
1628
01:26:41,030 --> 01:26:42,160
It begins.
1629
01:26:42,220 --> 01:26:44,140
I need a scout. Where's Cyrano.
1630
01:26:44,490 --> 01:26:45,280
Captain.
1631
01:26:45,850 --> 01:26:46,740
Let me go.
1632
01:26:46,780 --> 01:26:49,490
No, my boy, Cyrano knows
the terrain. He knows their lines.
1633
01:26:49,530 --> 01:26:51,550
So do I.
Please, allow me.
1634
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:56,070
Very well.
We must know from which
1635
01:26:56,110 --> 01:26:58,810
direction the advance comes.
Their weight and numbers.
1636
01:26:58,840 --> 01:26:59,560
I understand.
1637
01:27:11,940 --> 01:27:12,780
Roxane.
1638
01:27:13,430 --> 01:27:14,450
Cyrano.
1639
01:27:14,480 --> 01:27:15,930
Christian thinks...
1640
01:27:17,470 --> 01:27:19,190
Christian thinks you
ought to know that...
1641
01:27:19,220 --> 01:27:20,240
But I do know.
1642
01:27:20,770 --> 01:27:22,850
He still doubts what I
just told him, just now.
1643
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:23,860
I saw that.
1644
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:27,560
Yes, but,...was it true,
what you told him just now?
1645
01:27:27,590 --> 01:27:28,900
It was true.
1646
01:27:28,990 --> 01:27:32,270
I said that I should love him,
even if he were....
1647
01:27:33,020 --> 01:27:34,580
The word comes
hard before me?
1648
01:27:37,420 --> 01:27:38,860
Say it, I shall
not be hurt.
1649
01:27:39,370 --> 01:27:40,620
Ugly?
1650
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:42,130
Even, then
I should love him.
1651
01:27:43,500 --> 01:27:44,690
Disfigured.
1652
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:45,870
Or disfigured.
1653
01:27:46,480 --> 01:27:49,620
Even....grotesque.
1654
01:27:49,650 --> 01:27:51,350
How could he
every be grotesque,
1655
01:27:51,810 --> 01:27:52,950
ever to me?
1656
01:27:52,990 --> 01:27:55,580
But, you could love him so,
as much as?
1657
01:27:55,610 --> 01:27:56,790
Yes, and more.
1658
01:27:57,320 --> 01:27:58,320
Roxane...
1659
01:27:58,350 --> 01:27:59,300
(gunshot)
1660
01:27:59,340 --> 01:28:00,260
What is it?
1661
01:28:01,550 --> 01:28:02,600
Are they fighting?
1662
01:28:05,250 --> 01:28:06,510
What is happening?
1663
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:08,010
- The Spaniards advance,
1664
01:28:08,940 --> 01:28:09,930
but there is time.
1665
01:28:10,480 --> 01:28:12,370
- Where is Christian?
- At the parapet.
1666
01:28:12,820 --> 01:28:13,890
Oh, of course.
1667
01:28:14,930 --> 01:28:16,750
What is it
that you wish to tell me?
1668
01:28:16,780 --> 01:28:18,140
Roxane,...
1669
01:28:18,810 --> 01:28:21,690
believe me this is difficult,
and for once I lack words.
1670
01:28:24,690 --> 01:28:26,330
Christian asked me to...
1671
01:28:26,440 --> 01:28:27,850
He told me...
1672
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:38,220
Christian!
1673
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:42,970
To your places, gentlemen.
1674
01:28:43,970 --> 01:28:45,130
Is he dead?
1675
01:28:45,170 --> 01:28:46,260
No, but dying.
1676
01:28:46,300 --> 01:28:47,660
I will not let him!
1677
01:28:51,870 --> 01:28:54,530
Cyrano...did you?
1678
01:28:54,570 --> 01:28:56,610
Yes, my friend.
I have told her.
1679
01:28:58,350 --> 01:28:59,450
She loves you.
1680
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:02,190
Roxane.
1681
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:03,570
Yes, my darling.
1682
01:29:06,020 --> 01:29:07,320
Christian!
1683
01:29:08,170 --> 01:29:09,370
He is not dead?
1684
01:29:10,930 --> 01:29:11,830
Yes.
1685
01:29:12,310 --> 01:29:13,640
(gasp)
1686
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:22,890
Time you must go, now.
1687
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:25,860
Really, he is dead.
1688
01:29:25,890 --> 01:29:27,740
No one else
knew him but you.
1689
01:29:28,250 --> 01:29:29,630
Was he not a hero?
1690
01:29:29,670 --> 01:29:30,700
Yes, Roxane.
1691
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:33,340
A heart deeper
than we knew.
1692
01:29:33,380 --> 01:29:34,930
Yes, Roxane.
1693
01:29:35,010 --> 01:29:39,310
A poet.
A soul magnificently tender.
1694
01:29:41,750 --> 01:29:43,660
Yes, Roxane.
1695
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:46,740
But he is dead now.
1696
01:29:48,390 --> 01:29:50,030
(collapses sobbing)
1697
01:29:50,070 --> 01:29:51,230
Why, so am I.
1698
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:55,060
For I am dead
and my love mourns for me
1699
01:29:55,100 --> 01:29:56,550
and does not know.
1700
01:29:58,190 --> 01:29:59,530
Will never know.
1701
01:29:59,570 --> 01:30:00,990
(rapid gunfire)
1702
01:30:01,030 --> 01:30:02,410
(bugle calls)
1703
01:30:03,030 --> 01:30:04,030
Take her away quickly.
1704
01:30:05,670 --> 01:30:06,500
Wait.
1705
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:09,220
A letter over his heart.
1706
01:30:11,490 --> 01:30:12,850
(sobbing)
1707
01:30:16,740 --> 01:30:18,460
I have two deaths
to avenge, now,
1708
01:30:19,090 --> 01:30:22,670
Christian's...and my own.
1709
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:42,210
(fighting becomes intense)
1710
01:30:43,330 --> 01:30:46,820
(the Spanish army advances)
1711
01:30:49,450 --> 01:30:50,280
Fire!
1712
01:31:00,270 --> 01:31:02,810
Surrender or you die!
1713
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:51,720
(de Guiche)
Look! The signal!
1714
01:32:59,940 --> 01:33:00,940
Ah!
1715
01:33:07,070 --> 01:33:09,610
We fought. We died.
We fought again.
1716
01:33:09,750 --> 01:33:12,760
Who are these men who are
so fond of death, one Spaniard cried.
1717
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:14,440
On and on, they came.
1718
01:33:14,570 --> 01:33:17,210
Then, when all seemed lost,
we heard the trumpets
1719
01:33:17,250 --> 01:33:19,850
of our returning troops.
The battle was ours!
1720
01:33:20,690 --> 01:33:24,050
Ah, you have been fortunate,
Ms. de Bergerac, you have lived!
1721
01:33:24,090 --> 01:33:28,870
While we, we waste our youth.
There is no war and not hope for any.
1722
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:30,880
No hope for any?
1723
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:34,220
My fellow, I just realize,
we are both fools.
1724
01:33:34,630 --> 01:33:37,550
But mine is the greater folly,
for I am an older fool.
1725
01:33:38,170 --> 01:33:42,320
What is more......
Everything I told you was a lie.
1726
01:33:47,550 --> 01:33:49,680
Another satire
for the Gazette?
1727
01:33:49,710 --> 01:33:50,410
Yes.
1728
01:33:50,820 --> 01:33:53,480
Another glove flung
in the face of power?
1729
01:33:53,650 --> 01:33:55,400
Oh, why do you
do it, Cyrano?
1730
01:33:55,430 --> 01:33:57,860
- Why do you attack...
- Stupidity?
1731
01:33:57,880 --> 01:34:01,180
Deceit? Corruption?
I'm too old to change.
1732
01:34:01,370 --> 01:34:03,980
I'm an old dog
with nothing left but his teeth.
1733
01:34:04,010 --> 01:34:06,580
Ah, but teeth can be pulled.
That can be painful.
1734
01:34:10,440 --> 01:34:14,580
That insolent wretch.
That scoundrel de Bergerac.
1735
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:17,180
This time he's gone too far.
I swear it.
1736
01:34:17,210 --> 01:34:18,790
He's signed his death warrant.
1737
01:34:19,950 --> 01:34:21,730
And who will deliver it?
1738
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:25,040
His sword is still very
powerful, my friend.
1739
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:27,230
There are may ways
a man can die.
1740
01:34:27,990 --> 01:34:29,550
Who knows?
1741
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:31,430
He may meet
with an accident.
1742
01:34:32,550 --> 01:34:33,570
Soon.
1743
01:34:35,100 --> 01:34:38,710
(church chimes)
1744
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:46,060
But, uh, tell me, Madame.
1745
01:34:46,180 --> 01:34:50,830
How long will you continue
to remain here, forever in mourning?
1746
01:34:51,670 --> 01:34:52,570
Forever.
1747
01:34:53,060 --> 01:34:55,080
Was Christian all that?
1748
01:34:55,770 --> 01:34:57,400
If you knew him
you would not ask.
1749
01:34:57,950 --> 01:35:00,150
His last letter
is still in my heart.
1750
01:35:00,820 --> 01:35:04,770
And, uh, Cyrano?
Do you see him often?
1751
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:09,240
Every week. My old friend
takes the place of my Gazette.
1752
01:35:09,620 --> 01:35:11,320
He brings me all the news.
1753
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:14,940
Every Saturday under
that tree out there.
1754
01:35:14,980 --> 01:35:17,070
I wait for him embroidering.
1755
01:35:17,430 --> 01:35:20,240
The hour strikes.
I need not turn to look.
1756
01:35:20,570 --> 01:35:24,070
At the last stroke,
I hear his cane tapping the walk.
1757
01:35:24,100 --> 01:35:26,430
His satires have made
him many enemies.
1758
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:29,740
But, they still fear
that sword of his.
1759
01:35:30,330 --> 01:35:32,130
No one dare touch him.
1760
01:35:32,510 --> 01:35:33,670
Hm, that may be so.
1761
01:35:35,620 --> 01:35:38,160
It is not violence
I fear for him,
1762
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:42,560
but solitude, poverty.
Old gray Decembers
1763
01:35:42,590 --> 01:35:45,350
stealing on wolf's feet
into his darkened room.
1764
01:35:46,010 --> 01:35:48,230
It seems to me he's
worn the same old coat
1765
01:35:48,260 --> 01:35:49,610
for many months, now.
1766
01:35:49,650 --> 01:35:51,740
Eh, that is nothing
strange in this world.
1767
01:35:51,780 --> 01:35:53,820
You need not pity
him overmuch.
1768
01:35:53,860 --> 01:35:56,930
He lives his life,
his own life his own way,
1769
01:35:56,970 --> 01:36:00,300
thought, word and deed free.
1770
01:36:00,450 --> 01:36:01,610
My Lord Duke.
1771
01:36:01,750 --> 01:36:05,860
Oh, yes, I know.
I have all. He has nothing.
1772
01:36:06,370 --> 01:36:12,170
Nevertheless, today,
I should be proud to shake his hand.
1773
01:36:12,350 --> 01:36:14,000
Ah, well, adieu.
1774
01:36:14,670 --> 01:36:16,300
Will I ever see you again?
1775
01:36:16,340 --> 01:36:17,970
Come whenever you like.
1776
01:36:18,010 --> 01:36:19,610
Then, you have forgiven me.
1777
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:21,680
I am here.
1778
01:36:22,950 --> 01:36:25,380
Do you know?
When a man wins
1779
01:36:25,420 --> 01:36:29,750
everything in this world,
when he succeeds too much,
1780
01:36:29,790 --> 01:36:34,190
he feels, somehow,
a thousand small displeasures
1781
01:36:34,230 --> 01:36:38,560
with himself, whose whole sum
is not quite remorse
1782
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:45,570
but rather a sort of vague
disgust, dry illusions, pained regrets.
1783
01:36:45,870 --> 01:36:48,730
Yes, now and then,
I envy your Cyrano.
1784
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:50,860
The sentiment
does you honor.
1785
01:36:50,890 --> 01:36:52,250
(chuckling)
1786
01:36:59,350 --> 01:37:04,280
Madame, I must tell you,
it is true that no one has yet
1787
01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:06,490
dared to attack
your friend Cyrano.
1788
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:11,380
Nevertheless, at the theater
last night, I heard some things.
1789
01:37:12,260 --> 01:37:13,720
Keep him at home all you can.
1790
01:37:14,090 --> 01:37:17,330
Tomorrow when you see him,
tell him to be careful.
1791
01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:19,130
I thank you.
1792
01:37:32,050 --> 01:37:33,140
(Cyrano)
Good night, Ragueneau.
1793
01:37:33,180 --> 01:37:35,120
(Ragueneau)
Cyrano, you not leaving?
1794
01:37:35,150 --> 01:37:37,030
You will not have
dinner here with me?
1795
01:37:37,060 --> 01:37:38,860
(Cyrano)
My regrets. I have a magnificent
1796
01:37:38,900 --> 01:37:42,450
roast waiting for me, a rare wine,
a gift from my publisher.
1797
01:37:42,490 --> 01:37:43,890
(Ragueneau)
Fine, to be sure.
1798
01:37:44,650 --> 01:37:47,490
Uh, have you seen
Moliere's new play?
1799
01:37:47,530 --> 01:37:48,160
No.
1800
01:37:48,340 --> 01:37:49,650
Heh, ah, well....
1801
01:37:49,690 --> 01:37:50,580
What is it?
1802
01:37:50,610 --> 01:37:51,460
Well, he...
1803
01:37:51,500 --> 01:37:52,250
Speak.
1804
01:37:52,290 --> 01:37:55,220
He stole a scene
from you, word for word.
1805
01:37:55,250 --> 01:37:57,140
You know, "What the devil
was he doing there?"
1806
01:37:57,170 --> 01:37:57,730
That one.
1807
01:37:57,770 --> 01:37:59,040
He stole it, bodily.
1808
01:37:59,070 --> 01:38:01,300
Well, he showed
good taste.
1809
01:38:01,340 --> 01:38:03,020
It, uh, played well?
1810
01:38:03,060 --> 01:38:05,450
Oh, beautifully. They
laughed and laughed.
1811
01:38:05,480 --> 01:38:06,810
Oh, how they laughed.
1812
01:38:07,250 --> 01:38:08,560
Moliere has genius.
1813
01:38:09,370 --> 01:38:11,010
Christian had good looks.
1814
01:38:12,170 --> 01:38:13,610
With me, it was
always thus.
1815
01:38:16,050 --> 01:38:17,240
Good night, my friend.
1816
01:38:32,340 --> 01:38:32,950
(man)
Hold, there.
1817
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:33,950
(man)
You!
1818
01:38:35,650 --> 01:38:36,850
(Cyrano)
Are you addressing me?
1819
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:38,990
Yes, you, Monsieur
of the long nose.
1820
01:38:39,100 --> 01:38:40,000
Insolence.
1821
01:38:40,290 --> 01:38:41,990
- Foulmouthed scribbler.
- What?
1822
01:38:42,020 --> 01:38:43,440
- Lair, plagiarist!
- Liar.
1823
01:38:47,910 --> 01:38:49,660
(whistling to wagon)
1824
01:39:08,630 --> 01:39:10,920
(driver whips horses)
1825
01:39:27,570 --> 01:39:28,490
Doctor.
1826
01:39:29,930 --> 01:39:31,260
Why pretend?
1827
01:39:31,550 --> 01:39:32,910
It is very grave.
1828
01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:35,500
Keep him quiet
at all costs.
1829
01:39:35,540 --> 01:39:38,500
If he attempts
to rise, he will die.
1830
01:39:38,540 --> 01:39:39,810
Shhhh.
1831
01:39:43,220 --> 01:39:43,930
Thank you.
1832
01:39:44,980 --> 01:39:47,240
(door closes)
1833
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:55,820
(gate bell rings)
1834
01:39:59,820 --> 01:40:01,490
(gate opens)
1835
01:40:01,530 --> 01:40:03,170
Monsieur.
1836
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:03,860
Ah, Sister.
1837
01:40:09,810 --> 01:40:10,880
(gasp)
1838
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:12,350
What is the matter
with you?
1839
01:40:14,480 --> 01:40:15,900
Shall I tell you
something, Sister?
1840
01:40:16,540 --> 01:40:20,470
Yesterday, Friday, mind you,
I ate meat again.
1841
01:40:21,930 --> 01:40:23,000
Yes, I know.
1842
01:40:23,350 --> 01:40:25,080
That is why you
are so pale.
1843
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:27,930
Please come to me
to the refectory before you go.
1844
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,250
I'll make you a great
bowl of hot soup.
1845
01:40:30,280 --> 01:40:31,630
Of course, of course.
1846
01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:33,950
You're quite reasonable today.
1847
01:40:33,990 --> 01:40:36,120
Perhaps you'll convert me.
1848
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:38,260
Oh, no! Not for the world.
1849
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:40,690
Why, now I think of it,
that is so.
1850
01:40:41,070 --> 01:40:44,560
You, bursting with holiness,
and yet you never preach.
1851
01:40:45,470 --> 01:40:46,760
Astonishing.
1852
01:40:47,060 --> 01:40:49,100
And now I shall astonish you.
1853
01:40:49,690 --> 01:40:54,110
I'm going to let you
pray for me tonight, at Vespers.
1854
01:40:55,830 --> 01:40:58,700
Absolutely struck dumb, eh?
1855
01:41:02,550 --> 01:41:05,180
I did not wait for you
to say I might.
1856
01:41:14,930 --> 01:41:17,450
Now may the devil admire
me if never hope to see
1857
01:41:17,490 --> 01:41:19,570
the end of that embroidery.
1858
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:23,440
After 14 years,
late for the first time.
1859
01:41:23,480 --> 01:41:26,550
Yes.
Yes, maddening.
1860
01:41:27,330 --> 01:41:31,480
I was detained by
a visitor. Most unexpected.
1861
01:41:32,150 --> 01:41:33,660
An old friend of mine.
1862
01:41:34,540 --> 01:41:36,830
At least a very
old acquaintance.
1863
01:41:36,870 --> 01:41:38,320
Did you tell him
to go away?
1864
01:41:38,980 --> 01:41:40,410
For the time being, yes.
1865
01:41:40,440 --> 01:41:45,270
I said excuse me,
I see that it's Saturday,
1866
01:41:45,620 --> 01:41:48,200
I have a previous
engagement.
1867
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:49,620
One I cannot miss.
1868
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:52,340
Even for you.
1869
01:41:53,250 --> 01:41:55,310
Come back an hour from now.
1870
01:41:55,420 --> 01:41:59,170
Your friend will have to wait.
I shall not let you go till dark.
1871
01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:04,970
Perhaps a little before dark,
I must go.
1872
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:09,080
Oh, then tell me now
the court news. My Gazette.
1873
01:42:10,390 --> 01:42:14,190
Ah, yes, well, let me see.
1874
01:42:16,350 --> 01:42:20,840
Saturday, 19th, the King
fell ill after eight helpings of
1875
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:22,170
grape marmalade.
1876
01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:26,320
Grape marmalade will
no longer be served at court.
1877
01:42:28,190 --> 01:42:33,010
Sunday, the royal pulse
is now normal.
1878
01:42:34,630 --> 01:42:37,930
Monday, everyone was
talking about the success
1879
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:39,600
of Moliere's new play.
1880
01:42:40,830 --> 01:42:46,110
Tuesday, the King fell ill
after six helpings of marone glacee.
1881
01:42:47,910 --> 01:42:50,130
Marone glacee will no
longer be served at court.
1882
01:42:51,710 --> 01:42:55,700
Wednesday, the Compte de Firske
spoke to Madame de Monte Glas.
1883
01:42:56,500 --> 01:42:59,380
She said....no.
1884
01:43:01,480 --> 01:43:07,450
Thursday.... Nothing.
1885
01:43:07,490 --> 01:43:10,580
Friday, Madame de Monte Glas
said yes.
1886
01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:18,800
Saturday, 25th....
1887
01:43:19,450 --> 01:43:20,520
Cyrano!
1888
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:24,010
What is it?
Cyrano!
1889
01:43:28,660 --> 01:43:31,300
- Oh, no, no, it is nothing.
- What?
1890
01:43:31,750 --> 01:43:34,200
The old wound at Arras
sometimes...
1891
01:43:34,230 --> 01:43:36,980
- My poor friend.
- No, no, no, it is nothing.
1892
01:43:37,830 --> 01:43:39,350
It will soon be gone.
1893
01:43:41,010 --> 01:43:44,990
(gasp) There. 'Tis gone.
1894
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:48,480
We all have
our old wounds.
1895
01:43:49,020 --> 01:43:53,920
I have mine here,
under this faded scrap of writing.
1896
01:43:55,380 --> 01:43:57,340
It's hard to read now.
1897
01:43:58,370 --> 01:44:01,340
All for the blots
and tears.
1898
01:44:01,370 --> 01:44:02,560
His letter?
1899
01:44:03,480 --> 01:44:06,650
Did you not promise me,
that someday you would let me read it?
1900
01:44:07,090 --> 01:44:12,350
- This letter? You wish...?
- I do wish it....today.
1901
01:44:22,650 --> 01:44:24,230
Open it and read.
1902
01:44:49,700 --> 01:44:54,660
"Farewell, Roxane,
because today I die."
1903
01:44:54,690 --> 01:44:56,000
Aloud?
1904
01:44:57,180 --> 01:45:00,150
"I know that it will be today,
my own dearly beloved.
1905
01:45:01,630 --> 01:45:04,900
"Yet, my heart still so heavy
with love I have not told.
1906
01:45:06,440 --> 01:45:11,330
"And I shall die without telling you.
1907
01:45:11,900 --> 01:45:15,740
"No more shall my eyes
drink the sight of you like wine,
1908
01:45:16,230 --> 01:45:19,180
"never more with a look
that is a kiss,
1909
01:45:19,740 --> 01:45:22,430
"follow the sweet
grace of you."
1910
01:45:22,470 --> 01:45:24,400
How you read it.
His letter.
1911
01:45:24,440 --> 01:45:26,300
"I remember now the way you have
1912
01:45:26,340 --> 01:45:30,280
"of pushing back a lock of hair
with one hand from your forehead,
1913
01:45:30,860 --> 01:45:33,270
- "and my heart cries out..."
- His letter!
1914
01:45:33,310 --> 01:45:35,000
- "cries out and keeps crying."
1915
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:38,240
- You read it so...
- "Farewell, my dear, my dearest,"
1916
01:45:38,270 --> 01:45:40,650
- In a voice...
- "my own heart's own,"
1917
01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:44,230
- "my own treasure,"
- In such a voice!
- "my...love."
1918
01:45:44,260 --> 01:45:47,140
Yes, I remember hearing long ago.
1919
01:45:47,490 --> 01:45:52,210
"I am never away from you.
Even now I shall not leave you.
1920
01:45:53,110 --> 01:45:56,360
"In another world, I shall
still be that one who loves you,
1921
01:45:56,390 --> 01:46:00,110
"loves you beyond measure,
beyond..."
1922
01:46:09,180 --> 01:46:11,130
But, how can you read it now?
1923
01:46:14,420 --> 01:46:17,810
And all those 14 years
he has been the old friend
1924
01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:19,650
who came to me to be amusing.
1925
01:46:20,930 --> 01:46:23,170
- Roxane.
- It was you.
1926
01:46:23,910 --> 01:46:24,880
No, no, Roxane, no.
1927
01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:28,100
And I might have know it every time
that I heard you speak my name.
1928
01:46:28,130 --> 01:46:31,690
- No, it was not I.
- It was you!
- I swear.
1929
01:46:32,460 --> 01:46:34,810
- The letters. That was you.
- No.
1930
01:46:35,140 --> 01:46:38,960
- And the dear foolish words.
That was you.
- No.
1931
01:46:39,190 --> 01:46:43,290
- And the voice in the dark.
That was you.
- On my honor!
1932
01:46:43,330 --> 01:46:47,170
And the soul.
It was all you.
1933
01:46:47,270 --> 01:46:49,180
I never loved you.
1934
01:46:49,350 --> 01:46:50,850
Yes, you loved me.
1935
01:46:50,970 --> 01:46:52,740
Even now you love me.
1936
01:46:53,660 --> 01:46:55,610
(gasp)
No!
1937
01:46:55,650 --> 01:46:57,920
And twice you're great to know.
1938
01:46:57,950 --> 01:47:00,760
Oh, no, no, my own dear love,
I love you not.
1939
01:47:03,340 --> 01:47:05,840
Why were you silent
for so many years?
1940
01:47:06,580 --> 01:47:07,860
All the while.
1941
01:47:08,090 --> 01:47:11,110
Every night, and every day,
he gave me nothing.
1942
01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:13,120
You knew that.
1943
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:16,680
You knew in that letter
lying on my breast.
1944
01:47:17,940 --> 01:47:19,230
Your tears.
1945
01:47:20,580 --> 01:47:22,770
You knew they
were your tears.
1946
01:47:26,390 --> 01:47:28,270
The blood was his.
1947
01:47:29,370 --> 01:47:30,200
Cyrano!
1948
01:47:32,690 --> 01:47:34,320
Here! He's here.
1949
01:47:34,490 --> 01:47:36,270
Oh, what recklessness.
1950
01:47:36,310 --> 01:47:36,570
No.
1951
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:37,430
I knew it!
1952
01:47:37,490 --> 01:47:40,440
- Oh Madame he has killed
himself coming here.
- No. Shh.
1953
01:47:40,700 --> 01:47:42,220
That drink is, what is it?
1954
01:47:42,290 --> 01:47:45,510
Nothing. I did not
finish my Gazette.
1955
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:49,970
Saturday, 26th, an hour
or so before dinner
1956
01:47:50,540 --> 01:47:55,340
Ms. de Bergerac died,
foully murdered.
1957
01:47:55,690 --> 01:47:57,470
Cyrano, what have
they done to you?
1958
01:47:57,600 --> 01:47:59,540
How fate loves a jest.
1959
01:47:59,980 --> 01:48:03,000
Behold me ambushed,
taken unawares.
1960
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:08,830
My noble foe, a lackey.
My battlefield, a gutter.
1961
01:48:09,490 --> 01:48:10,950
It seems too logical.
1962
01:48:11,370 --> 01:48:13,040
They have missed everything,
1963
01:48:13,820 --> 01:48:15,290
even my death.
1964
01:48:16,330 --> 01:48:17,950
Sisters! Sisters!
1965
01:48:17,990 --> 01:48:21,350
No, do not go away.
I may not be here when you return.
1966
01:48:22,030 --> 01:48:23,760
You shall not die.
1967
01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:25,460
(sobbing)
I love you.
1968
01:48:25,490 --> 01:48:27,410
No, my lady,
it's not in the story.
1969
01:48:28,100 --> 01:48:29,900
When beauty said
I love you to the beast
1970
01:48:29,930 --> 01:48:32,990
all his ugliness changed
and dissolved, like magic.
1971
01:48:33,550 --> 01:48:37,370
But, you see,
I am still the same.
1972
01:48:37,440 --> 01:48:39,430
And I have
done this to you.
1973
01:48:39,470 --> 01:48:40,620
You? Why no.
1974
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:42,060
All my fault, mine!
1975
01:48:42,100 --> 01:48:43,320
On the contrary.
1976
01:48:44,060 --> 01:48:47,080
I have never know womanhood
in its sweetness, but for you.
1977
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:50,750
My mother did not
like to look at me.
1978
01:48:52,050 --> 01:48:53,530
I never had a sister.
1979
01:48:54,880 --> 01:49:01,130
Later, I feared those sweethearts
with mockery behind her smile.
1980
01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:06,150
But, because of you,
I have had across my life
1981
01:49:06,930 --> 01:49:10,600
one whispering, silken gown.
1982
01:49:12,780 --> 01:49:15,200
I never loved but
one man in my life.
1983
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:18,680
I have lost him, twice.
1984
01:49:19,660 --> 01:49:23,540
(sobbing)
1985
01:49:23,570 --> 01:49:27,890
I would not have you mourning
any less that good, noble Christian.
1986
01:49:28,980 --> 01:49:32,570
But, perhaps, I ask only this,
1987
01:49:34,100 --> 01:49:36,370
when the great cold
gathers around my bones,
1988
01:49:37,770 --> 01:49:42,590
you may give a double
meaning to your widow's weeds.
1989
01:49:43,910 --> 01:49:50,900
The tears you let fall for him,
may for a little, be my tears.
1990
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:53,040
Oh, my love!
1991
01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:58,400
No, not here.
Not lying down.
1992
01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:01,300
Let no one help me.
No one need help me.
1993
01:50:06,310 --> 01:50:07,430
It is coming.
1994
01:50:08,260 --> 01:50:11,460
I feel already shod with marble.
1995
01:50:12,720 --> 01:50:13,950
Gloved with lead.
1996
01:50:14,730 --> 01:50:16,700
Very well,
let the old fellow come now.
1997
01:50:17,190 --> 01:50:19,600
He shall find me
on my feet.
1998
01:50:21,670 --> 01:50:23,120
Sword in hand.
1999
01:50:23,160 --> 01:50:24,110
Cyrano!
2000
01:50:24,500 --> 01:50:25,890
He'd delirious.
2001
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:28,000
I see him now.
2002
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:28,700
He grins.
2003
01:50:28,740 --> 01:50:30,750
He is looking at my nose!
2004
01:50:30,790 --> 01:50:31,820
That skeleton.
2005
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:33,730
You there.
2006
01:50:33,970 --> 01:50:34,670
Who are you?
2007
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:36,950
A hundred against one, eh?
2008
01:50:37,300 --> 01:50:40,020
I know them now,
my ancient enemies.
2009
01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:40,960
Falsehood, there!
2010
01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:42,470
There, Prejudice!
2011
01:50:42,490 --> 01:50:44,100
Compromise, Cowardice.
2012
01:50:44,580 --> 01:50:47,160
What's that?
Surrender? No, never!
2013
01:50:47,190 --> 01:50:48,430
Never!
2014
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:50,820
Ah, you too, Vanity.
2015
01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:54,180
I knew you would
overthrow me in the end.
2016
01:50:54,210 --> 01:50:57,310
No, I fight, I fight on,
I fight....ow!
2017
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:01,000
(gasping)
2018
01:51:06,540 --> 01:51:08,550
All my laurels
you have riven away.
2019
01:51:10,290 --> 01:51:11,770
And my roses.
2020
01:51:12,940 --> 01:51:15,600
Yet, in spite of you,
there is one crown
2021
01:51:15,630 --> 01:51:16,980
I made away with me.
2022
01:51:17,020 --> 01:51:20,380
And tonight when I
enter before God,
2023
01:51:21,850 --> 01:51:27,140
my salute shall sweep away
the stars from the blue threshold.
2024
01:51:28,310 --> 01:51:33,240
One thing without stain,
unspotted from the world,
2025
01:51:34,240 --> 01:51:40,610
in spite of doom, mine own,
...and that is...
2026
01:51:43,220 --> 01:51:51,220
my...white...plume...

In seventeenth-century Paris, poet and supreme swordsman Cyrano de Bergerac (José Ferrer) stops a play from being shown because he ostensibly cannot stand the bombastic style of the principal actor, Montfleury (Arthur Blake). An annoyed aristocratic fop, the Vicomte de Valvert (Albert Cavens), provokes him into a duel by tritely insulting Cyrano's enormous nose. Cyrano first mocks his lack of wit, improvising numerous inventive ways in which Valvert could have phrased it (much to the amusement of the audience). He then composes a ballade for the occasion on the spot and recites it during the sword fight. With the last line, he stabs his opponent.
Cyrano's friend Le Bret (Morris Carnovsky), Captain of the Gascony Guards, warns him he has made powerful enemies of his victim's friends, but he is unconcerned. When Le Bret presses him to reveal the real reason he hates Montfleury, Cyrano admits that he became jealous when he saw the actor smiling at his beautiful cousin Roxane (Mala Powers). He confesses that he is in love with her, but harbors no hope of it being returned because of his nose. When he receives a request from Roxane to see her in the morning, he is finally emboldened to act.
Then pastry chef and fellow poet Ragueneau (Lloyd Corrigan) approaches him for help. Ragueneau has learned that a nobleman he had mocked with his verses, the Comte De Guiche (Ralph Clanton), has hired a hundred ruffians to teach him a lesson. Cyrano escorts him, kills eight of the horde, and drives off the rest.
The next day, before he can tell Roxane of his feelings, she informs him that she has fallen in love with a handsome guardsman, Christian de Neuvillette (William Prince), though she has not even spoken to him. Cyrano hides his devastation and agrees to help her.
Cyrano befriends the young man, who is in Cyrano's guards' unit, and discovers that he is infatuated with Roxane, but is too inept with words to woo her. To help him, Cyrano composes Christian's love letters to Roxane, which she finds irresistible. Later, Christian decides he wants no more help and tries to speak to Roxane face to face, but fails miserably and she re-enters her house in an angry huff. Cyrano, hiding in the bushes, comes to his rescue, but this time by imitating Christian's voice and speaking to Roxane from under her balcony. He is so eloquent that he (unintentionally) wins a kiss for Christian from Roxane.
When the arrogant Comte De Guiche, who is also wooing Roxane, pressures her to marry him, Cyrano delays him long enough for her to wed Christian instead. Furious, De Guiche, Christian's commander, orders him to join his unit immediately for a war against the Spanish, preventing the couple from spending their wedding night together.
With Cyrano under his command as well, De Guiche earns the swordsman's respect by his conduct in the war. From the field, Cyrano sends Roxane letters every day, supposedly written by Christian. Roxane visits her husband in camp and tells him that she now has fallen in love with him not merely for his looks but because of his words, and would love him even if he were ugly. Realizing that she really loves Cyrano, Christian gets his rival to agree to tell Roxane the truth and let her decide between them. But before the opportunity arises, Christian volunteers for a dangerous mission and is fatally wounded, silencing Cyrano.
Roxane enters a convent in mourning. Years pass, with Cyrano visiting Roxane weekly, having retired from the military and writing satirical articles mocking the nobility. De Guiche, who has also befriended her and has come to respect Cyrano, has overheard a courtier plotting against Cyrano. De Guiche warns Roxane that Cyrano's life may be in danger. One night, Cyrano is lured into an ambush; the poet is run down by a carriage. Near death, he hides his injuries and goes to keep his appointment with Roxane for the last time. His secret love for Roxane is finally revealed when he recites from memory the last of his love letters, which she has kept, but it is too late. Cyrano first slips into delirium, then dies, leaving Roxane to mourn a second time.

(applause continues)
3
00:02:26,210 --> 00:02:29,890
<i>Thrice happy he who hides
from pomp and power</i>
4
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:33,590
<i>in sylvan shade
or solitary bower</i>
5
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,630
<i>where balmy zephyrs
fan his burning cheeks...</i>
6
00:02:37,660 --> 00:02:41,460
- Clown! The king of clowns!
Leave the stage at once!
7
00:02:43,970 --> 00:02:44,620
- Who is it?
8
00:02:44,650 --> 00:02:47,570
It's Cyrano.
I was afraid he'd do this.
9
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,250
<i>Thrice happy he
who hides from pomp and power...</i>
10
00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:54,910
- Wretch! Did I not forbid
you to appear this month?
11
00:02:57,940 --> 00:02:59,260
- Let's be quiet.
- Quiet!
12
00:03:00,190 --> 00:03:01,380
- Go on Montfleury.
13
00:03:04,270 --> 00:03:06,400
<i>Thrice happy he who...</i>
14
00:03:06,430 --> 00:03:07,630
- He who, indeed.
15
00:03:07,660 --> 00:03:10,730
- Donkeys say rather Hee-Haw!
16
00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:17,790
Begone! Or must I come and
help you off the stage myself?
17
00:03:21,130 --> 00:03:24,000
What! Still there?
18
00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:28,220
<i>Where balmy zephyrs
fan his burning cheeks... </i>
19
00:03:28,250 --> 00:03:32,050
Fat swine, if you dare breathe
on balmy zephyr more
20
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,640
I'll fan your cheeks
for you!
21
00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:36,480
Monsieur, won't you all
protect me?
22
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,090
- Proceed, proceed.
- Go on.
23
00:03:38,130 --> 00:03:40,880
Sir, I will not allow you
to insult me in this manner.
24
00:03:40,910 --> 00:03:43,520
Really?
What manner would you prefer?
25
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:44,850
Quiet, down there!
26
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,940
- We'll tolerate
no more of this.
27
00:03:47,870 --> 00:03:49,720
Go on with the play,
Montfleury.
28
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:52,380
(shouting criticisms)
29
00:03:52,410 --> 00:03:54,480
Unless these gentlemen
retain your seats
30
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,790
my sword may
bite their ribbons.
31
00:03:56,830 --> 00:03:58,650
Who is this braggart?
32
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,070
My cousin, sir.
33
00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:04,710
Well, Montfleury,
still no exit?
34
00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:06,930
- Very well then,
I enter
35
00:04:06,970 --> 00:04:11,740
with knife, to carve
this fat, stuffed goose.
36
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:14,800
(ominous music begins)
37
00:04:14,830 --> 00:04:18,080
(crowd clamors)
38
00:04:20,030 --> 00:04:22,170
I pray, do not crowd
my scabbard here.
39
00:04:22,210 --> 00:04:24,320
She may put her
tongue out at you.
40
00:04:24,350 --> 00:04:27,140
(shouted recriminations)
41
00:04:29,870 --> 00:04:30,990
Silence.
42
00:04:31,910 --> 00:04:33,830
I say be silent!
43
00:04:35,450 --> 00:04:38,260
And I offer one universal
challenge to you all:
44
00:04:38,460 --> 00:04:41,410
Will all who wish to die,
please raise their hands.
45
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,360
Approach, young heroes.
I will take your names.
46
00:04:45,140 --> 00:04:47,830
To the first man who falls
I'll build a monument.
47
00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:49,710
Who will head the list?
48
00:04:50,010 --> 00:04:50,780
You, sir?
49
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,000
No.
50
00:04:52,830 --> 00:04:53,610
You?
51
00:04:54,470 --> 00:04:55,170
No, no.
52
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,770
Anyone?
53
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,600
Anyone at all?
54
00:05:01,110 --> 00:05:03,550
Not one...name?
55
00:05:04,260 --> 00:05:06,420
Not one finger?
56
00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:10,260
Very well then,
I go on.
57
00:05:16,130 --> 00:05:18,810
Attend to me, Full Moon.
58
00:05:21,340 --> 00:05:24,190
I clap my hands three times, thus.
59
00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:26,740
(three claps)
60
00:05:26,770 --> 00:05:30,320
At the third, you will...
eclipse yourself.
61
00:05:30,490 --> 00:05:31,390
Ready!
62
00:05:32,110 --> 00:05:32,910
One.
63
00:05:34,010 --> 00:05:34,900
(clap)
64
00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:36,070
How dare you.
65
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:37,210
I demand!
66
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,070
I insist.
67
00:05:38,110 --> 00:05:40,150
- I call upon all the nobles...
- Two!
68
00:05:41,010 --> 00:05:42,080
(clap)
69
00:05:42,110 --> 00:05:43,090
This is an outrage.
70
00:05:43,130 --> 00:05:44,040
You hear, an outrage.
71
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:46,620
Nothing on earth
will move me from this stage.
72
00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:48,800
Three!
73
00:05:49,570 --> 00:05:49,910
(clap)
74
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:55,410
(laughter)
75
00:05:56,260 --> 00:05:59,210
Fair ladies and noble gentlemen...
- Boo!
76
00:05:59,250 --> 00:06:02,560
(laughter)
77
00:06:02,950 --> 00:06:04,210
But, Monsieur de Bergerac,
78
00:06:04,250 --> 00:06:07,490
why have you done this
to our Montfleury, an admirable actor?
79
00:06:07,530 --> 00:06:10,090
I have two reasons,
either one conclusive.
80
00:06:10,670 --> 00:06:12,800
First, he is an
abominable actor,
81
00:06:12,830 --> 00:06:15,870
who mouths his verse
and moans his tragedy.
82
00:06:16,350 --> 00:06:17,630
Second,....
83
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:20,970
Well, that's my secret.
84
00:06:22,530 --> 00:06:25,280
But...
But you've closed the play!
85
00:06:25,310 --> 00:06:26,880
It is not a very good play.
86
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:28,970
Huh!
And of their money?
87
00:06:29,010 --> 00:06:31,080
Possibly you would like
that returned to these good people.
88
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:31,960
Yes?
89
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,360
Yes.
90
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:35,830
Here,...catch!
91
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:37,920
(crowd murmurs)
92
00:06:38,410 --> 00:06:41,960
Well, Monsieur, you are hereby
authorized to close our play every night.
93
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,200
On these terms.
94
00:06:43,230 --> 00:06:43,740
(laughter)
95
00:06:43,780 --> 00:06:46,400
Ladies and gentlemen,
your money will be returned.
96
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,250
Kindly pass out, quietly.
97
00:06:48,290 --> 00:06:50,030
Goodnight, goodnight.
98
00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:53,220
(crowd accepts
in good spirits)
99
00:06:55,740 --> 00:06:57,120
(until...)
100
00:06:59,530 --> 00:07:02,610
Your cousin is an
extraordinary man, Madame.
101
00:07:02,650 --> 00:07:04,080
Oh, I agree.
102
00:07:04,410 --> 00:07:08,550
Soldier, poet, philosopher,
musician, playwright.
103
00:07:08,580 --> 00:07:09,570
All those?
104
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,360
Yes, and the best
swordsman in Paris.
105
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,310
Really?
106
00:07:14,340 --> 00:07:17,060
Now, I should have thought
the Vicomte here had that honor.
107
00:07:17,310 --> 00:07:21,360
Tell me, Madame, that
comic mask, that nose,
108
00:07:21,390 --> 00:07:23,300
presently he will take it off?
109
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:25,950
No, Monsieur, he keeps it.
110
00:07:26,450 --> 00:07:29,350
And heaven help
the man who smiles.
111
00:07:29,850 --> 00:07:31,060
Good night.
112
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,880
Oh, Monsieur!
113
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,980
Monsieur!
114
00:07:40,020 --> 00:07:42,710
Uh, when do you leave Paris?
115
00:07:43,210 --> 00:07:44,100
Sir?
116
00:07:44,250 --> 00:07:46,280
Why, after what you've
just done to Montfleury,
117
00:07:46,310 --> 00:07:48,750
did you not know that
the Compte de Guiche was his patron?
118
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:50,190
Who's yours?
119
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:52,140
No one.
120
00:07:52,170 --> 00:07:52,940
No one?
121
00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:53,870
No patron?
122
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:54,630
I said not.
123
00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:56,900
But the Compte de Guiche
has a long arm.
124
00:07:56,930 --> 00:07:58,900
Mine is longer
by three feet of steel.
125
00:07:59,530 --> 00:08:00,180
Yes, but..
126
00:08:00,860 --> 00:08:02,160
but, what a scare...
127
00:08:02,190 --> 00:08:02,990
You may go now.
128
00:08:03,020 --> 00:08:04,510
- but...
- You may go.
129
00:08:05,810 --> 00:08:08,620
Well, tell me,
why are you staring at my nose?
130
00:08:08,650 --> 00:08:10,160
Oh, I was not staring.
131
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:11,630
Does it astonish you?
132
00:08:11,660 --> 00:08:13,920
Why n...Why no, I've been careful
not to look.
133
00:08:13,950 --> 00:08:15,510
Oh, and why not, if you please?
134
00:08:15,550 --> 00:08:16,730
It disgusts you, then?
135
00:08:16,770 --> 00:08:17,880
But, no, I just...
136
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,700
Does its color appear
to you unwholesome?
137
00:08:19,730 --> 00:08:20,480
By no means.
138
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,310
Then, possibly you find it
just a trifle large?
139
00:08:22,340 --> 00:08:24,500
No, small, very small, tiny!
140
00:08:24,530 --> 00:08:25,640
Infinitesimal!
141
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,960
What?
You accuse me of absurdity?
142
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,730
Small, my nose?
Why magnificent, my nose!
143
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,900
You pug, you knob,
you button head,
144
00:08:34,930 --> 00:08:37,170
know that I glory
in this nose of mine!
145
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,400
For a great nose
indicates a great man,
146
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:45,440
congenial, courteous,
intellectual, virile, courageous.
147
00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:48,050
Whilst that face of yours,
148
00:08:48,370 --> 00:08:54,070
that blank, inglorious concavity
which my right hand finds on top of you,
149
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:59,630
is as devoid of pride, of poetry,
of soul, of picturesqueness,
150
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:04,810
of contour, of character,
of nose, in short,
151
00:09:04,850 --> 00:09:09,740
as that which is at the bottom of
that limp spine of yours my left foot...
- Oh, help!
152
00:09:09,780 --> 00:09:11,550
(laughter)
153
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:13,840
Presently, this fellow
will grow tiresome.
154
00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:16,590
Oh, he blows his horn.
155
00:09:17,330 --> 00:09:19,800
- Well, will no one
put him in his place?
156
00:09:20,270 --> 00:09:22,660
If you would all me.
Observe.
157
00:09:25,090 --> 00:09:31,260
Monsieur, your nose,
your nose is rather large.
158
00:09:34,450 --> 00:09:35,400
Rather?
159
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,350
Oh, well.
160
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:37,620
Is that all?
161
00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:38,540
Well, of course, you...
162
00:09:38,570 --> 00:09:40,400
Ah, no young sir, you're too simple.
163
00:09:40,430 --> 00:09:42,620
Why, you might have
said a great many things.
164
00:09:42,650 --> 00:09:44,800
Why waste your opportunity?
165
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:45,860
For example, thus...
166
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:47,450
Aggressive---
167
00:09:47,490 --> 00:09:51,040
I, sir, if that great nose were mine,
I would have it amputated on the spot.
168
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:52,710
Practical---
169
00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:56,570
How do you drink with such a nose.
You must have had a cup made especially.
170
00:09:56,850 --> 00:09:57,880
Descriptive---
171
00:09:57,910 --> 00:10:00,570
'Tis a rock, a crag, a cape.
172
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,510
A cape, say rather, a peninsula.
173
00:10:05,890 --> 00:10:06,990
Inquisitive---
174
00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:11,400
Uh, what is that receptacle,
a razor case or a portfolio?
175
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,680
Kindly---
176
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,840
Ah, do you love the little birds so much
that when they come and sing to you,
177
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,690
you give them this to perch on?
178
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,570
Cautious---
179
00:10:20,610 --> 00:10:24,120
Take care. A weight like that
might make you top-heavy.
180
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,250
Eloquent---
181
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,510
When it blows the typhoon howls
and the clouds darken.
182
00:10:29,580 --> 00:10:30,400
Dramatic---
183
00:10:30,430 --> 00:10:34,690
When it bleeds...the Red Sea.
184
00:10:35,540 --> 00:10:36,530
Simple---
185
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:39,640
Eh, when do they
unveil the monument?
186
00:10:40,020 --> 00:10:40,900
Military---
187
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:43,510
Beware, a secret weapon!
188
00:10:44,290 --> 00:10:45,620
Enterprising---
189
00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:48,080
What a sigh for some perfumer!
190
00:10:48,490 --> 00:10:49,300
Respectful---
191
00:10:49,330 --> 00:10:52,050
Uh sir, I recognize in you
a man of parts,
192
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,740
a man of...prominence.
193
00:10:54,770 --> 00:10:56,500
Or, Literary---
194
00:10:56,530 --> 00:10:59,360
Was this the nose
that launched a thousand ships?
195
00:11:00,010 --> 00:11:02,850
These, my dear sir, are things
you might have said had you
196
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,690
some tinge of letters or of wit
to color your discourse.
197
00:11:05,810 --> 00:11:07,970
Bit wit not so.
You never had an atom.
198
00:11:08,270 --> 00:11:14,480
And of letters, you need
but three to write you down, a..s..s.
199
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:16,530
Ass.
200
00:11:16,570 --> 00:11:18,040
- (laughter)
- You, sir!
201
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,600
Dolt! Bumpkin! Fool!
202
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:26,620
How do you do, and I,
Cyrano Savinien Hercule de Bergerac.
203
00:11:26,650 --> 00:11:28,050
Vicomte, come.
204
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,650
Such arrogance.
This scarecrow who...
205
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:31,850
Look at him!
206
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,120
No ribbons. No lace.
Not even gloves!
207
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,700
True. I carry my adornments
only on my soul.
208
00:11:39,740 --> 00:11:41,860
Decked with deeds
instead of ribbons.
209
00:11:41,890 --> 00:11:43,420
Mantled in my good name,
210
00:11:43,460 --> 00:11:45,350
and crowned with a
white plume of freedom.
211
00:11:45,380 --> 00:11:46,130
But..
212
00:11:46,170 --> 00:11:47,510
But, I have no gloves.
213
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:48,630
A pity, too.
214
00:11:48,670 --> 00:11:51,630
I had one, the last one of an old pair,
and lost that.
215
00:11:51,660 --> 00:11:53,250
Very careless of me.
216
00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:55,750
Some gentleman offered me
an impertinence.
217
00:11:55,790 --> 00:11:59,840
I left it in his face.
218
00:11:59,870 --> 00:12:00,840
So be it!
219
00:12:02,110 --> 00:12:05,050
You shall die exquisitely
220
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,160
Oh, a poet.
221
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,640
Oh, yes, a poet if you will.
222
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:11,510
So, uh, while we fight,
I'll improvise a ballad for you,
223
00:12:11,540 --> 00:12:15,270
and as I end the refrain,
...skhrch!...thrust home.
224
00:12:15,310 --> 00:12:16,280
Will you?
225
00:12:17,180 --> 00:12:18,130
I will.
226
00:12:21,820 --> 00:12:23,420
(excited crowd)
227
00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:26,890
Ballad au Duel
at the Theatre de Burgoyne
228
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,320
between de Bergerac,
and uh.....a barbarian.
229
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,240
What do you mean by that?
230
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,000
Oh, that?
231
00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:34,960
The title.
232
00:12:34,990 --> 00:12:36,570
(laughter)
233
00:12:36,610 --> 00:12:38,200
Stop. Let me choose my rhyme.
234
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:47,640
So. Here we go.
235
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:50,070
Lightly I toss my hat away.
236
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:55,440
Languidly o'er my arm let fall
the cloak that covers my bright array.
237
00:12:55,510 --> 00:13:00,770
Then, out swords,
and to work withal.
238
00:13:02,660 --> 00:13:05,720
A Lancelot in his lady's hall,
239
00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:10,580
A Spartacus at the Hippodrome,
240
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,340
I dally a while with you..
241
00:13:13,380 --> 00:13:14,750
you jackall.
242
00:13:32,810 --> 00:13:34,360
Just as I end the refrain,
243
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,380
thrust home!
244
00:13:51,290 --> 00:13:54,220
Where shall I skewer my peacock again?
245
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,160
Nay, better for you
to have shunned this brawl.
246
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,010
Here in the heart
or your ribbons, gay,
247
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,610
in the belly
'neath you silken shawl?
248
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,130
Now, come my points floats,
light as the foam
249
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,640
ready to drive you
back to the wall,
250
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:20,030
and then as I end the refrain,
251
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,440
thrust home.
252
00:14:21,930 --> 00:14:23,210
Oh, for a rhyme.
253
00:14:23,580 --> 00:14:25,060
Why, your fight is fading.
254
00:14:25,420 --> 00:14:26,040
You break.
255
00:14:26,350 --> 00:14:26,970
You cower.
256
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:27,600
You cringe.
257
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:28,200
You crawl.
258
00:14:29,310 --> 00:14:30,740
How can I tell
you're allowed to say
259
00:14:30,780 --> 00:14:31,750
something to turn on my head
260
00:14:31,790 --> 00:14:32,720
forestall.....
261
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:33,660
Life with a tunny
262
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:34,970
death with a scall.
263
00:14:35,010 --> 00:14:36,760
Something to turn on my fancy roam,
264
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,670
free for a time till the rhyme's recall,
265
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,620
then as I end the refrain,
266
00:14:40,650 --> 00:14:41,620
thrust home!
267
00:14:43,810 --> 00:14:44,670
Refrain.
268
00:14:45,550 --> 00:14:48,960
Prince,
pray God that is Lord of all,
269
00:14:48,990 --> 00:14:50,840
pardon you soul,
270
00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:54,190
for your time has come.
271
00:14:56,860 --> 00:14:58,820
Pass! I fling you aslant, asprawl.
272
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:00,590
Then as I end the refrain,
273
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,680
thrust home!
274
00:15:41,820 --> 00:15:45,390
(shouts of hurray
and congratulation)
275
00:15:47,130 --> 00:15:49,470
Ladies and gentlemen,
please, please,
276
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:50,790
not until the performance is over.
277
00:15:51,070 --> 00:15:51,980
Close the house.
278
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:52,820
A strike,
279
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,340
but leave the lights.
280
00:15:54,380 --> 00:15:56,070
We rehearse the new
farce tonight.
281
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,240
Wait.
282
00:16:04,110 --> 00:16:05,570
You have only to watch a fight,
283
00:16:05,610 --> 00:16:07,530
or have you ruined
if you listen to them.
284
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:11,570
Think of the enemies you've made,
285
00:16:11,610 --> 00:16:14,050
Montfleury, the Vicomte,
if he lives,
286
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,380
all those foppish marquis,
the Comte de Guiche.
287
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:18,970
That politician.
288
00:16:19,010 --> 00:16:21,910
He's the Cardinal's nephew.
There's power there!
289
00:16:21,950 --> 00:16:23,330
And power here.
290
00:16:23,370 --> 00:16:24,680
Young fool!
291
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,540
Take an example from me.
292
00:16:26,570 --> 00:16:29,810
20 years a captain,
while others who know only
293
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,750
how to deploy their
forces at court
294
00:16:31,780 --> 00:16:33,890
now dangle a marshal's baton.
295
00:16:33,930 --> 00:16:37,360
Well, uh, someday
I will avenge you, too.
296
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,530
Impossible.
Come on, let's go to dinner.
297
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,830
Dinner?
No, not I.
298
00:16:41,860 --> 00:16:42,540
Why not?
299
00:16:42,580 --> 00:16:44,530
Because I have no money.
300
00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:46,150
But, the purse of gold.
301
00:16:46,180 --> 00:16:48,140
Farewell paternal pension.
302
00:16:48,180 --> 00:16:51,430
And you have
until the first of next month?
303
00:16:51,470 --> 00:16:52,310
Nothing.
304
00:16:53,140 --> 00:16:54,460
What a fool.
305
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:56,770
Yes, but, what a moment.
306
00:16:56,810 --> 00:16:57,670
- Pardon, Monsieur.
307
00:17:00,010 --> 00:17:01,770
A man ought
never to go hungry.
308
00:17:02,690 --> 00:17:04,150
I have everything here.
309
00:17:05,490 --> 00:17:06,360
Please.
310
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,080
My dear child, I cannot bend this Gascon
pride of mine to accept such a kindness.
311
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:11,820
But, I...
312
00:17:12,910 --> 00:17:15,810
Yet, for fear that
I may give you pain if I refuse,
313
00:17:16,550 --> 00:17:18,190
I will take something.
314
00:17:19,630 --> 00:17:20,660
A grape.
315
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:25,160
One only.
316
00:17:25,820 --> 00:17:27,170
And a glass of water.
317
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,650
No, clear.
318
00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:35,750
And, uh,...half a macaroon.
319
00:17:37,010 --> 00:17:38,100
Nothing more?
320
00:17:39,060 --> 00:17:39,920
Why, yes.
321
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,230
Your hand to kiss.
322
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,510
Thank you, sir.
323
00:18:02,090 --> 00:18:03,100
Good night.
324
00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:10,290
Idiot.
325
00:18:13,170 --> 00:18:13,890
Dinner.
326
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,160
Drink.
327
00:18:18,830 --> 00:18:19,720
Desert.
328
00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:24,670
Mon Dieux, I was hungry,
abominably.
329
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:26,320
Tell me.
330
00:18:26,590 --> 00:18:27,440
Anything.
331
00:18:27,790 --> 00:18:29,920
Why to you hate
this Montfleury?
332
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:32,860
A very bad actor.
333
00:18:32,890 --> 00:18:34,860
Ah, come now, the real
reason, the truth.
334
00:18:36,610 --> 00:18:39,600
That fat goat who cannot hold
his belly in his arms,
335
00:18:39,630 --> 00:18:42,590
still dreams of being
sweetly dangerous among the women.
336
00:18:43,230 --> 00:18:47,610
Sighs and languishes, making sheep's
eyes out of his great frog's face.
337
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:52,750
I hate him ever since one day
he dared smile upon....
338
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,220
Oh, my friend, I seemed to see over
some flower a great snail crawling.
339
00:19:00,090 --> 00:19:01,180
Eh, what?
340
00:19:02,170 --> 00:19:03,340
Is it possible?
341
00:19:04,890 --> 00:19:06,180
For me to love?
342
00:19:08,770 --> 00:19:09,660
I love.
343
00:19:10,370 --> 00:19:12,570
Whom?
May I know?
344
00:19:12,610 --> 00:19:13,620
Whom I love?
345
00:19:15,070 --> 00:19:16,000
Think a moment.
346
00:19:16,210 --> 00:19:17,280
Think of me.
347
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,670
Me, whom the plainest
woman would despise.
348
00:19:21,030 --> 00:19:25,010
Me, with this nose of mine that
marches on before me by a quarter of an hour.
349
00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:28,000
Whom shall I love.
350
00:19:29,890 --> 00:19:34,930
Why, of course, it must be the
woman in the world most beautiful.
351
00:19:35,780 --> 00:19:37,170
Most beautiful?
352
00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:42,920
In these eyes of mine....
beyond compare.
353
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:44,070
Wait.
354
00:19:44,510 --> 00:19:46,440
Your cousin, Roxane.
355
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,300
Yes.
356
00:19:50,170 --> 00:19:51,080
Roxane.
357
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,810
Well?
358
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,020
Why not?
If you love her, tell her so.
359
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,170
My old friend.
360
00:20:01,150 --> 00:20:03,550
Look at me and tell me how
much hope remains for me
361
00:20:03,580 --> 00:20:04,970
with this protuberance.
362
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,360
Ahhh, I have no more illusions.
363
00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:12,140
Now and then I may grow tender
walking alone in the blue of evening
364
00:20:12,170 --> 00:20:16,130
through some garden fresh with flowers
after the benediction of the rain.
365
00:20:16,980 --> 00:20:20,930
My poor big devil of a nose
inhales April.
366
00:20:21,460 --> 00:20:26,950
And I follow with my eyes where
some boy with a girl upon his arm,
367
00:20:27,510 --> 00:20:32,130
passes a patch of silver...
and I feel somehow....
368
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,490
I wish I had a woman, too,
369
00:20:36,670 --> 00:20:41,660
walking with me under the moon,
and holding my arm and smiling.
370
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:44,240
Then I dream.
371
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:46,140
I forget.
372
00:20:49,510 --> 00:20:53,210
And then I see the shadow
of my profile on the wall.
373
00:20:54,750 --> 00:20:56,050
My friend.
374
00:20:57,180 --> 00:20:58,230
My friend.
375
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,370
I have my bitter days,
knowing myself so ugly, so alone.
376
00:21:03,410 --> 00:21:05,260
Ah, but your wit, your courage,
377
00:21:05,540 --> 00:21:08,170
why that poor child who just
now offered you your dinner,
378
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,710
your saw it, her eyes
did not avoid you.
379
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,920
That is true.
380
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,930
Well, then, Roxane herself,
watching your duel, pale.
381
00:21:18,970 --> 00:21:19,480
Pale?
382
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,670
Yes, her lips parted.
Her hand at her breast, thus.
383
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,020
I saw it.
384
00:21:24,260 --> 00:21:27,260
Speak to her. Speak, man.
385
00:21:35,890 --> 00:21:37,550
She might laugh at me.
386
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:42,480
It is the one thing
in this world I fear.
387
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,490
Pardon, Monsieur,
a lady outside asking for you.
388
00:21:48,410 --> 00:21:49,750
Monsieur.
389
00:21:50,340 --> 00:21:51,270
A Duenna.
390
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,530
I have a message for you
from a...a certain lady.
391
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,760
She desires to know when
and where she may see you privately.
392
00:21:57,810 --> 00:22:00,070
She has certain
things to tell you.
393
00:22:00,690 --> 00:22:01,850
Certain...
394
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,010
Things!
395
00:22:04,230 --> 00:22:05,720
She wishes to see me?
396
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,410
We go tomorrow at dawn
to hear mass at St. Rupe
397
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,070
And afterwards, where
would you suggest?
398
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:12,630
Well, then, I...
399
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:15,300
- Where?
- Well?
400
00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:17,070
Ah....I am thinking.
401
00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:18,080
And you think?
402
00:22:19,770 --> 00:22:20,590
Where?
403
00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:22,060
The shop at Ragueneau's.
404
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:24,580
Yes, yes, Ragueneau,
the pastry cook.
405
00:22:24,620 --> 00:22:25,400
Who dwells?
406
00:22:26,650 --> 00:22:27,590
Rue Saint Honore.
407
00:22:27,630 --> 00:22:28,690
Eh...Rue Saint Honore.
408
00:22:28,730 --> 00:22:33,530
We are agreed. At 7 o'clock.
Until then. Adieu.
409
00:22:38,790 --> 00:22:39,940
I'll be there.
410
00:22:41,620 --> 00:22:44,110
Me! To see me!
411
00:22:44,260 --> 00:22:45,830
Ah, not quite so gloomy.
412
00:22:45,870 --> 00:22:47,580
After all, she knows
that I exist.
413
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,060
Imagine, she has
asked to see me!
414
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:52,240
So, now you're
going to be happy?
415
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,350
Happy.
I'm going to be a storm.
A flame!
416
00:22:55,390 --> 00:22:58,430
I need to fight whole
armies all alone!
417
00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,840
I have ten hearts!
418
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,280
I have a hundred arms!.
419
00:23:01,310 --> 00:23:04,450
I feel too strong
to war with mortals!
420
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,150
BRING ME GIANTS!
421
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:11,240
Quiet, please, shhh.
We are rehearsing back here.
422
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,600
So sorry.
Ha, ha, ha.
423
00:23:21,490 --> 00:23:22,280
Cyrano.
424
00:23:22,830 --> 00:23:23,630
Cyrano.
425
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,590
Ragueneau.
426
00:23:26,150 --> 00:23:27,910
Oh, thank goodness
you're still here.
427
00:23:27,950 --> 00:23:29,180
Well, what's the matter.
428
00:23:29,210 --> 00:23:30,410
I'm afraid to go home.
429
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,040
Why?
430
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,050
You know those
comic verses I wrote?
431
00:23:33,090 --> 00:23:34,830
About the congregation.
432
00:23:34,860 --> 00:23:37,260
Cyrano, he's hired ruffians.
Bullies.
433
00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:39,740
A hundred, waiting for
me on the way home.
434
00:23:39,780 --> 00:23:41,620
They're gonna beat me.
Cane me!
435
00:23:41,650 --> 00:23:44,450
Please, would you permit me
to spend the night with you?
436
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,420
A hundred men,
is that all?
437
00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:49,610
Ragueneau, you're
going home tonight.
438
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,630
But they're armed.
They're cutthroats!
439
00:23:51,690 --> 00:23:53,620
Take this lantern.
Forward march.
440
00:23:53,660 --> 00:23:55,760
I say that I'll be the man
to see you to your shop.
441
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,150
Not you, I want no help from you.
442
00:23:57,190 --> 00:23:58,510
For even for a hundred,
you're mad.
443
00:23:58,550 --> 00:23:59,730
Those are the odds I want.
444
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,420
Why for this pastry cook?
445
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,820
First, because this
pastry cook is a friend of mine.
446
00:24:04,930 --> 00:24:07,820
Second, because this
pastry cook is also a poet.
447
00:24:07,950 --> 00:24:09,360
And, most important,
448
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:12,000
if anything should
happen to this pastry cook,
449
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:16,870
tomorrow morning at seven
his shop will be closed.
450
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:19,590
Goodnight.
451
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,060
(a whistle signal)
452
00:25:37,430 --> 00:25:38,480
Cyrano. Help!
453
00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:43,580
Look out behind you!
454
00:26:22,750 --> 00:26:23,810
I have been robbed.
455
00:26:24,370 --> 00:26:26,070
- There are no hundred here.
456
00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:32,360
It's, it's, it's...
457
00:26:33,820 --> 00:26:35,230
Be quick. Inside.
458
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,550
Bolt the door!
459
00:26:48,510 --> 00:26:49,310
Ah!
460
00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:08,660
Yah!
461
00:27:10,460 --> 00:27:12,210
(ruffians shouting)
462
00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:01,010
Ah!
463
00:28:03,860 --> 00:28:04,560
Awk.
464
00:28:05,860 --> 00:28:08,030
(ruffians shouting)
465
00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:17,280
(Le Bret)
- Cyrano!
466
00:28:17,310 --> 00:28:18,320
- Hold!
467
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:34,330
Ah.
468
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,420
How do you feel?
469
00:28:37,460 --> 00:28:39,540
Oh, pleasantly exhilarated.
470
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:42,990
- Come, I know a little tavern not far...
- Where's Ragueneau?
471
00:28:43,310 --> 00:28:46,320
Ragueneau?
Ragueneau!
472
00:28:46,730 --> 00:28:49,510
Little boy, come out.
All's well!
473
00:28:50,330 --> 00:28:51,990
- Is it over?
- All over.
474
00:28:52,220 --> 00:28:53,020
Really?
475
00:28:54,500 --> 00:28:55,340
So soon?
476
00:28:55,370 --> 00:28:56,140
Ha, ha, ha.
477
00:28:56,170 --> 00:28:59,480
Oh, if only I'd had my sword.
How many did we kill?
478
00:28:59,510 --> 00:29:00,330
Oh, about eight.
479
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:00,960
Eight.
480
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,410
Eight!
481
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,420
Ohhhh.
482
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,910
This.....gentleman
begins to annoy me.
483
00:29:31,980 --> 00:29:33,630
(Ragueneau is a poet, too.)
484
00:29:35,060 --> 00:29:40,010
No. The sauce and meat must rhyme.
Add a pinch of marigold and thyme.
485
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,960
Your house, of course, needs a stronger roof.
Eh? There's proof.
486
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:45,830
Cyrano.
487
00:29:46,830 --> 00:29:47,500
Cyrano.
488
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,100
Come in and eat.
489
00:29:49,130 --> 00:29:51,110
- What time is it?
- Not quite seven.
490
00:29:51,130 --> 00:29:54,140
Oh, now, please, Cyrano.
A man without breakfast is like...
491
00:29:54,180 --> 00:29:56,720
No.
Could she have changed her mind?
492
00:29:56,750 --> 00:29:57,920
Aw, she wouldn't dare.
493
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,900
We were magnificent last night.
494
00:30:00,370 --> 00:30:01,830
And at the theater, too.
495
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,320
'Then, as I end the refrain'....
496
00:30:04,350 --> 00:30:07,390
When she arrives.
Where can we converse undisturbed?
497
00:30:07,420 --> 00:30:09,190
Wherever you like.
My shop is yours.
498
00:30:09,310 --> 00:30:11,900
The little dining room
is quite romantic.
499
00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:14,490
'Thrust home!'
Yea gods, what a line.
500
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,650
- 'Then as I end the re....'
- Vanish.
501
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:18,110
- Uh, huh, she's come?
- Shhhh.
502
00:30:18,140 --> 00:30:18,920
I swear.
503
00:30:27,340 --> 00:30:28,170
Welcome.
504
00:30:38,470 --> 00:30:40,510
- A pardon, one word.
- Oh, yes?
505
00:30:40,550 --> 00:30:41,520
Have you a good digestion?
506
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,430
Oh, wonderful.
507
00:30:43,290 --> 00:30:48,800
Eh, here are some éclairs.
Uh, creampuffs.
508
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,160
Some, uh, jellyrolls.
And do you like nature?
509
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,400
I adore it.
510
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,760
Go out and eat these in the sunshine.
Do not return.
511
00:30:56,790 --> 00:30:57,440
But why?
512
00:30:57,470 --> 00:30:58,910
Until you have finished them.
513
00:30:58,940 --> 00:31:00,340
(outside)
- What do I do then?
514
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,750
(door closes)
515
00:31:09,970 --> 00:31:13,000
Blessed above all others be the hour
when you remember to remember me,
516
00:31:13,230 --> 00:31:15,800
and came to tell me......what?
517
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,750
To tell you that....
518
00:31:19,060 --> 00:31:21,810
Before I dare tell you I....
519
00:31:22,020 --> 00:31:24,850
Are you, I wonder, still
the same big brother almost
520
00:31:24,890 --> 00:31:26,720
that you used to be
when we were children,
521
00:31:26,750 --> 00:31:29,570
playing by the pond
in the old garden down there?
522
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,570
At Bergerac.
Those lovely summers.
523
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,700
You use to make swords
out of bulrushes.
524
00:31:33,740 --> 00:31:35,810
And you, dandelions
also golden hair.
525
00:31:35,890 --> 00:31:37,930
In those days
I could tell you everything.
526
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,860
And you did
everything I wished.
527
00:31:40,060 --> 00:31:44,830
Little Roxane, a sweet tyrone
with short skirts and long hair.
528
00:31:44,860 --> 00:31:45,780
Was I pretty?
529
00:31:49,830 --> 00:31:51,270
Not too plain.
530
00:31:52,150 --> 00:31:54,490
Sometimes when you had fallen
or hurt your hand,
531
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,670
you used to come running to me,
and I would be your mother and say,
532
00:31:57,710 --> 00:32:02,770
oh, with a very grownup voice,
'Now, what have you been doing to yourself?'
533
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,300
'Let me see.'
534
00:32:05,890 --> 00:32:07,060
- Oh!
- No one that.
535
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:08,230
Wait, let me see.
536
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,540
Still. At your age?
537
00:32:12,010 --> 00:32:13,810
Now, how did you do that?
538
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,910
Playing with the big boys
at the Place de Neanne.
539
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:18,410
Come here.
540
00:32:19,330 --> 00:32:21,020
Such a wise little mother.
541
00:32:21,030 --> 00:32:24,740
And tell me, while I wash this
blood away, how many you played with?
542
00:32:24,770 --> 00:32:26,840
- Oh, about a hundred.
- A hundred?
543
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,950
- More or less.
- It can't be.
544
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:31,080
No.
545
00:32:31,670 --> 00:32:33,720
Tell me what you were
going to tell me.....
546
00:32:34,130 --> 00:32:35,320
if you dared.
547
00:32:36,190 --> 00:32:38,060
I think I do dare, now.
548
00:32:38,860 --> 00:32:41,450
It seems so like
those happy days long ago.
549
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,780
Yes, I dare.
550
00:32:44,350 --> 00:32:47,190
Listen....I love someone.
551
00:32:47,850 --> 00:32:48,440
Yes?
552
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,150
Someone who does not know.
553
00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:51,340
Yes?
554
00:32:51,450 --> 00:32:54,970
Someone who loves me, too,
but is afraid of me and keeps away
555
00:32:55,010 --> 00:32:56,340
and never says one word.
556
00:32:57,570 --> 00:32:58,270
(softly)
Yes.
557
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,210
Give my that hand.
558
00:33:01,870 --> 00:33:03,080
Why, how hot it is.
559
00:33:04,390 --> 00:33:06,390
Yes, he loves me.
I am sure of it.
560
00:33:06,740 --> 00:33:07,530
(softly)
Yes.
561
00:33:08,110 --> 00:33:10,730
And he is a soldier, too,
in your own regiment,
562
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,710
your own company.
563
00:33:11,740 --> 00:33:12,750
(loud)
Yes.
564
00:33:13,340 --> 00:33:14,480
Such a man.
565
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,280
He is proud, noble, young, brave,
566
00:33:18,610 --> 00:33:19,700
beautiful!
567
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:22,550
(softly)
Beautiful.
568
00:33:25,180 --> 00:33:26,040
What's the matter?
569
00:33:26,460 --> 00:33:27,160
Oh, nothing.
570
00:33:28,110 --> 00:33:30,210
It's this, my hand.
571
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,280
I love him.
That is all.
572
00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:38,230
And I have never seen him
anywhere except in the theater.
573
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,710
You have never spoken?
574
00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:42,790
Only with our hearts.
575
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,080
Well, then, how do you know?
576
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:50,270
Well, people talk about people,
and I hear things, and...
577
00:33:51,370 --> 00:33:52,700
and I know.
578
00:33:53,890 --> 00:33:55,540
(firmly)
You say he is in the guards?
579
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,530
His name?
580
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,270
Baron Christian de Neuvillette.
581
00:34:02,790 --> 00:34:03,910
You know him?
582
00:34:04,290 --> 00:34:05,650
He is not in the guards.
583
00:34:05,690 --> 00:34:07,020
Yes, since last week.
584
00:34:07,770 --> 00:34:09,550
He is only lately
come to Paris...
585
00:34:09,730 --> 00:34:11,140
from Normandy.
586
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,070
So soon.
So soon we lose our hearts.
587
00:34:15,570 --> 00:34:16,160
What...
(door opens)
588
00:34:16,190 --> 00:34:17,220
(Duenna)
- Monsieur de Bergerac
589
00:34:17,250 --> 00:34:18,850
- I have eaten all the cakes.
590
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,280
Good.
Now, go out and enjoy nature.
591
00:34:23,020 --> 00:34:26,110
But my dear child, you love
only words, wit, poetry.
592
00:34:26,150 --> 00:34:29,950
Why, for all you know,
the man may be a savage or a fool.
593
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:34,290
Not with such eyes.
I read his soul in them.
594
00:34:35,270 --> 00:34:38,360
Yes, all our souls are
written in our eyes.
595
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,720
And you have brought
me here to tell me this?
596
00:34:42,980 --> 00:34:45,890
I do not yet quite understand,
madam, the reason for your confidence.
597
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:52,640
They say, that in your company,
it frightens me, you are all Gascon.
598
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,850
We pick a quarrel with any outsider
who intrudes himself.
599
00:34:54,890 --> 00:34:56,250
Is that what you have heard?
600
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,150
- I'm so afraid for him.
- Not without reason.
601
00:34:59,190 --> 00:35:03,730
And I thought you...
it's you whom they all respect and fear.
602
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,590
You want me to defend
your little Baron?
603
00:35:08,630 --> 00:35:09,740
Will you?
604
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:11,670
Just for me.
605
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,440
Because I have always
been your friend.
606
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,790
And this is what
you want of me?
607
00:35:16,820 --> 00:35:18,430
Will you be his friend?
608
00:35:20,450 --> 00:35:22,200
I will be his friend.
609
00:35:22,230 --> 00:35:23,040
And never let him
fight a duel.
610
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,060
No, never.
611
00:35:24,090 --> 00:35:24,750
Promise?
612
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:26,980
I promise.
613
00:35:27,420 --> 00:35:30,860
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
I knew I could rely on you.
614
00:35:33,930 --> 00:35:35,410
Well, now I must go.
615
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,480
Oh, you never told
me about last night.
616
00:35:43,970 --> 00:35:45,790
Why, you must
have been a hero.
617
00:35:45,820 --> 00:35:50,240
Have write and tell me all about it,
and...about himself.
618
00:35:51,420 --> 00:35:54,330
Oh, you are a darling.
We are great friends, are we not?
619
00:35:54,860 --> 00:35:56,330
He must write to me.
620
00:35:58,390 --> 00:36:01,490
A hundred men against one.
You shall tell me the whole story
621
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:02,980
someday when we have time.
622
00:36:06,570 --> 00:36:10,170
A hundred men.
What courage!
623
00:36:14,030 --> 00:36:16,810
I have done better.
624
00:36:21,820 --> 00:36:22,450
Well?
625
00:36:24,890 --> 00:36:26,050
Let us leave this place.
626
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,620
But the whole company
is on its way here.
627
00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:28,330
Oh, no.
628
00:36:28,370 --> 00:36:30,870
On my heels. Naturally I told
them all about last night.
629
00:36:30,900 --> 00:36:31,880
They're wild.
630
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:32,830
Here they are.
631
00:36:32,860 --> 00:36:35,420
- Yes, but, why did you?
- Perhaps I can stop them.
632
00:36:36,210 --> 00:36:36,870
Never mind.
633
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,220
Cyrano!
634
00:36:39,260 --> 00:36:46,070
(greetings and cheers to Cyrano)
635
00:36:49,130 --> 00:36:51,570
Eight dead men in the street.
Scandalous.
636
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,010
You know my edict
against dueling, nephew.
637
00:36:54,050 --> 00:36:55,580
I expect to have it enforced.
638
00:36:55,610 --> 00:36:58,940
Furthermore, I wish to know
who was responsible for last night's
639
00:36:58,970 --> 00:37:00,410
outrage at the Place de Neanne.
640
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:01,840
I understand, Your Eminence.
641
00:37:02,050 --> 00:37:04,180
Very well.
And now I have news
642
00:37:04,210 --> 00:37:06,310
that should be more
to you liking.
643
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:13,410
I fear, in confidence, our
uneasy armistice with Spain is doomed.
644
00:37:13,450 --> 00:37:14,410
My colonelcy?
645
00:37:14,450 --> 00:37:16,670
You commission has been prepared.
646
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:18,890
Oh, thank you, uncle, thank you.
647
00:37:19,230 --> 00:37:20,630
Oh, one thing more.
648
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,600
Last night at the theater,
the duel in rhyme,
649
00:37:24,790 --> 00:37:26,970
that guardsman with a nose.
650
00:37:27,010 --> 00:37:30,240
- Bergerac, that impossible Gascon.
- Yes, impossible.
651
00:37:30,260 --> 00:37:32,300
- His treatment of Montfleury.
- Abominable.
652
00:37:32,330 --> 00:37:35,230
- The arrogance with which he closed the play.
- Incredible.
653
00:37:35,260 --> 00:37:38,130
- It will be a miracle if the Vicomte survives.
- A sorrow.
654
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,720
What will you do
with him, Your Eminence?
655
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,100
I? Nothing.
656
00:37:41,140 --> 00:37:43,290
I thought I might
leave that to you.
657
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,500
To me?
658
00:37:44,530 --> 00:37:48,270
Yes. Place him somewhere
in your service,
659
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:49,890
with a comfortable allowance.
660
00:37:49,930 --> 00:37:51,390
He looked a little threadbare.
661
00:37:51,430 --> 00:37:55,020
I...You...But, Your Eminence.
You detest dueling.
662
00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:55,960
Of course I do.
663
00:37:56,350 --> 00:37:58,070
Why didn't you prevent it?
664
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,350
I should much prefer
that monsieur de Beregrac
665
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,300
live by the pen,
rather than die by the sword.
666
00:38:06,590 --> 00:38:08,470
Do you not agree, Antoine?
667
00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:12,560
By all means, Your Eminence.
By all means.
668
00:38:14,830 --> 00:38:21,650
'And then, as I end the refrain...
thrust home.'
669
00:38:24,790 --> 00:38:28,740
(Carousing at Ragueneau's)
670
00:38:33,220 --> 00:38:39,860
(noisy celebration of Cyrano's
defeat of 'a hundred' ruffians)
671
00:38:44,210 --> 00:38:46,580
(Antoine Comte de Guiche enters)
672
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:48,620
Monsieur de Bergerac.
673
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,390
Your Excellency.
674
00:38:51,970 --> 00:38:54,750
I have come to express my....
675
00:38:54,790 --> 00:38:58,550
admiration for both
your exploits last night.
676
00:38:58,590 --> 00:39:01,290
Indeed. Thank you.
677
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,900
My dear fellow,
we may have had our differences,
678
00:39:04,930 --> 00:39:07,550
but I am disposed
to forget them.
679
00:39:07,570 --> 00:39:09,710
That is very generous
of you, sir.
680
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:10,560
No, truly.
681
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,970
You are, it seems, a man
of many skills.
682
00:39:14,010 --> 00:39:17,350
A rare combination
soldier and poet.
683
00:39:18,060 --> 00:39:21,750
- Would you care to join my following?
- No, sir.
684
00:39:21,790 --> 00:39:23,260
I do not follow.
685
00:39:23,770 --> 00:39:25,980
I am told you have
written a play.
686
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,510
As you know, my uncle,
the Cardinal, is also a dramatist.
687
00:39:29,540 --> 00:39:30,990
I might help you there.
688
00:39:31,150 --> 00:39:34,050
Cyrano, now at last
you can have it performed.
689
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,200
Why not?
690
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:36,620
I could take it to him.
691
00:39:37,860 --> 00:39:39,330
Really?
692
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,460
Of course.
Let him rewrite a few lines
693
00:39:41,490 --> 00:39:43,770
here and there, and
he'll find a theater for you.
694
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,230
Rewrite...my lines?
695
00:39:47,670 --> 00:39:49,150
Impossible.
696
00:39:49,190 --> 00:39:52,040
Uh, when he likes a thing,
he pays well.
697
00:39:52,070 --> 00:39:53,240
Yes, but not so well as I.
698
00:39:53,270 --> 00:39:55,460
When I have made a line
that sings itself
699
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:57,220
I pay myself a hundred times.
700
00:39:57,250 --> 00:39:58,940
You are proud, my friend.
701
00:39:58,970 --> 00:40:00,020
You have observed that?
702
00:40:00,060 --> 00:40:02,460
- Cyrano.
See what we found in the street.
703
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:05,140
Plumes dropped in their flight
by those fine birds
704
00:40:05,170 --> 00:40:06,860
who showed their
tail feathers!
705
00:40:06,890 --> 00:40:08,590
(laughter)
706
00:40:08,620 --> 00:40:10,180
The man who hired
those scoundrels,
707
00:40:10,210 --> 00:40:12,010
he must be an
angry man today.
708
00:40:12,050 --> 00:40:13,430
Who was it?
Do you know?
709
00:40:13,850 --> 00:40:14,790
It was I.
710
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,870
I hired them to do the sort
of work we do not soil our hands with.
711
00:40:20,660 --> 00:40:22,940
Punishing an insolent poet.
712
00:40:22,970 --> 00:40:25,610
They ought to be mounted
before they spoil.
713
00:40:25,650 --> 00:40:27,850
(laughter)
What shall we do with them?
714
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:36,460
Sir, will you not return these
to your friends?
715
00:40:40,310 --> 00:40:42,190
Have you read Don Quixote?
716
00:40:42,230 --> 00:40:44,650
I have and found
myself the hero.
717
00:40:44,690 --> 00:40:47,770
Be so good as to read once more
the capture of the windmills.
718
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,010
Chapter 13.
719
00:40:50,150 --> 00:40:52,200
Windmills, remember,
if you fight with them...
720
00:40:52,230 --> 00:40:56,590
may swing round their huge arms
and cast you down into the mire.
721
00:40:56,630 --> 00:40:59,010
Or up among the stars.
722
00:41:01,250 --> 00:41:01,970
Gentlemen.
723
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:03,320
Gentlemen.
724
00:41:03,570 --> 00:41:04,550
Gentlemen.
725
00:41:05,220 --> 00:41:06,610
You've done it, now.
726
00:41:06,650 --> 00:41:07,860
You've made your fortune.
727
00:41:07,890 --> 00:41:09,070
He was willing to forget.
728
00:41:09,490 --> 00:41:11,180
There you go again, growling.
729
00:41:11,210 --> 00:41:13,460
Yesss,
this latest pose of yours,
730
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:16,070
ruining every opportunity
that comes you way,
731
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:17,100
becomes exaggerated.
732
00:41:17,140 --> 00:41:18,250
Very well, then, I exaggerate.
733
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:19,710
There are certain things
in this world
734
00:41:19,740 --> 00:41:21,100
a man does well
to carry to extremes.
735
00:41:21,140 --> 00:41:23,710
Your precious independence.
Your white plume.
736
00:41:23,740 --> 00:41:25,410
How do you expect
to succeed in life?
737
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,400
What would you have me do?
738
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,590
Seek for the patronage
of some great man
739
00:41:28,630 --> 00:41:31,880
and like a creeping vine
on a tall tree crawl upward
740
00:41:31,910 --> 00:41:33,520
where I cannot stand alone?
741
00:41:33,940 --> 00:41:34,850
No, thank you.
742
00:41:35,210 --> 00:41:39,880
Be a buffoon in the vile hope
of teasing out a smile on some cold face.
743
00:41:40,340 --> 00:41:41,710
No, thank you.
744
00:41:42,050 --> 00:41:44,260
Eat a toad for breakfast
every morning.
745
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:47,530
Make my knees calloused.
Cultivate a supple spine.
746
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,320
Wear out my belly
groveling in the dust.
747
00:41:49,590 --> 00:41:50,400
No, thank you.
748
00:41:50,860 --> 00:41:54,880
With my left hand scratch the back
of any swine that roots up gold for me
749
00:41:54,910 --> 00:41:58,910
while my right, too proud to know
his partner's business, takes in the fee.
750
00:41:58,940 --> 00:41:59,920
No, thank you.
751
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,810
Shall I use the fire God gave me
to burn incense all day long?
752
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,020
No, thank you.
753
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,410
Struggle to insinuate my name
into the columns of the Gazette?
754
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:13,250
Calculate, scheme, be afraid?
Love more to make a visit than a poem?
755
00:42:13,290 --> 00:42:15,990
Seek introductions, favors,
influences?
756
00:42:16,020 --> 00:42:17,050
No, thank you.
757
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,270
No, I thank you, and
again I thank you.
758
00:42:23,930 --> 00:42:30,320
But, to sing, to laugh, to dream,
to walk in my own way,
759
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,510
free with and eye
to see things as they are.
760
00:42:33,380 --> 00:42:35,240
A voice that means manhood.
761
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,640
To cut my have
the right shoes.
762
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:46,150
And a word, a yes, a no,
to fight, or write,
763
00:42:46,830 --> 00:42:48,440
but never to make
a line I have not heard
764
00:42:48,470 --> 00:42:49,780
in my own heart.
765
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,380
To travel any
road under the sun,
766
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,780
under the stars,
767
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,520
nor care if fame or fortune
lie beyond the bourne.
768
00:43:00,370 --> 00:43:02,250
Yet, with all modesty to say,
769
00:43:03,250 --> 00:43:05,830
my soul be satisfied
with flowers,
770
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:08,000
with weeds,
771
00:43:09,210 --> 00:43:10,840
with thorns, even,
772
00:43:11,910 --> 00:43:14,940
but gather them in the one garden
you may call your own.
773
00:43:16,230 --> 00:43:18,450
In a word, I'm too proud
to be a parasite.
774
00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:21,470
And if mine intellect the germ
that grows towering to heaven
775
00:43:21,500 --> 00:43:22,770
like the mountain pine
776
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,570
I stand not high, it may be,
777
00:43:27,260 --> 00:43:28,460
but alone.
778
00:43:28,500 --> 00:43:31,170
Alone, yes, but why
go about making enemies?
779
00:43:32,100 --> 00:43:35,850
Watching other people
making friends...everywhere,
780
00:43:35,890 --> 00:43:37,980
as a dog makes friends.
781
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,550
I mark the manner of
these canine courtesies,
782
00:43:41,580 --> 00:43:46,770
and think, here comes,
thank heaven, another enemy.
783
00:43:46,810 --> 00:43:52,760
Yes, tell this to all the world,
and then to me say very softly
784
00:43:52,790 --> 00:43:55,540
that she loves you not.
785
00:43:58,830 --> 00:44:00,940
Let me be alone
for a moment.
786
00:44:03,990 --> 00:44:05,050
Cyrano, wait.
787
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,760
Give us your story
of the fight.
788
00:44:07,530 --> 00:44:08,400
Presently.
789
00:44:08,430 --> 00:44:10,010
No, the story, now!
790
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,970
Oh, let him alone.
There's time enough.
791
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,360
I want it now!
792
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,090
As an example for that young
tadpole sneaking out the doorway.
793
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,040
You, there.
794
00:44:25,310 --> 00:44:26,820
Are you addressing me?
795
00:44:28,190 --> 00:44:32,770
Yes, you flat-footed
Norman farmer.
796
00:44:36,190 --> 00:44:37,470
You wish something of me?
797
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:39,950
Listen, Monsieur de...de...de
whatever your name is.
798
00:44:39,980 --> 00:44:40,920
de Neuvillette!
799
00:44:41,090 --> 00:44:43,230
Baron Christan de Neuvillette.
800
00:44:43,270 --> 00:44:45,370
Very well, de Neuvillette.
801
00:44:45,670 --> 00:44:48,080
As you are a newcomer here,
you should know there is a
802
00:44:48,110 --> 00:44:52,300
certain subject or object, if you prefer,
that is never mentioned among us.
803
00:44:52,340 --> 00:44:53,340
And that is....?
804
00:44:53,370 --> 00:44:54,500
Look at me!
805
00:44:54,540 --> 00:44:55,980
(touching his nose)
806
00:44:56,020 --> 00:44:57,360
You understand?
807
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:58,670
You mean....?
808
00:44:58,700 --> 00:45:01,090
Thus we never speak that word.
809
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,390
To even breathe it is
to have to do with him.
810
00:45:04,420 --> 00:45:08,760
He has exterminated several
whose mere tone of voice suggested...
811
00:45:08,790 --> 00:45:12,920
Would you die before your time?
Just mention anything convex.
812
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,530
Or cartilaginous.
813
00:45:14,570 --> 00:45:18,540
One word. One syllable.
One gesture. Nay, one sneeze.
814
00:45:18,570 --> 00:45:21,330
And your handkerchief
becomes your winding sheet.
815
00:45:24,110 --> 00:45:24,920
Captain.
816
00:45:25,430 --> 00:45:26,290
Sir?
817
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:30,090
What is the proper thing to do
when Gascons grow too boastful?
818
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,820
Prove to them that one may
be a Norman and still have courage.
819
00:45:33,850 --> 00:45:35,100
I thank you.
820
00:45:41,330 --> 00:45:43,360
Come on, Cyrano, your story.
821
00:45:44,420 --> 00:45:47,330
(shouts of encouragement)
822
00:45:47,740 --> 00:45:49,540
Now, let me see.
Where shall we begin?
823
00:45:50,450 --> 00:45:52,510
I followed with our host
to meet those scoundrels
824
00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:53,640
not knowing where
they might attack.
825
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,340
No lamps in those narrow
back streets.
826
00:45:57,500 --> 00:45:58,600
No moon in the sky.
827
00:45:59,340 --> 00:46:01,220
Dark. Everything dark.
828
00:46:01,430 --> 00:46:04,040
It was so dark, Mon Dieux,
you could not see beyond...
829
00:46:04,070 --> 00:46:05,470
Your nose!
830
00:46:05,850 --> 00:46:08,480
(Christian shows his courage.)
831
00:46:25,250 --> 00:46:33,250
Who...is that...man...there?
832
00:46:34,260 --> 00:46:35,380
- A new recruit.
833
00:46:36,070 --> 00:46:37,550
- Arrived last week.
834
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,080
A recruit, eh?
835
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:41,940
Ha, ha---.
836
00:46:41,970 --> 00:46:45,320
His name is Christian de Neuvillette.
837
00:46:45,350 --> 00:46:48,660
(Cyrano remembers his
promise to Roxane.)
838
00:46:58,510 --> 00:46:59,570
I see.
839
00:47:02,670 --> 00:47:03,510
Very well.
840
00:47:04,850 --> 00:47:06,470
As I was saying.
841
00:47:10,830 --> 00:47:11,930
It grew dark.
842
00:47:12,460 --> 00:47:15,180
You could not see
your hand before your eyes.
843
00:47:16,310 --> 00:47:19,470
I marched on thinking our all for
the sake of one amateur poet
844
00:47:19,510 --> 00:47:22,660
- who wrote a verse whenever he took a..
- A nose full.
845
00:47:24,370 --> 00:47:25,770
...whenever he took a notion.,
846
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,600
and might antagonize
some dangerous man.
847
00:47:28,630 --> 00:47:30,830
One powerful enough
to make me pay...
848
00:47:30,860 --> 00:47:31,980
Through the nose!
849
00:47:32,010 --> 00:47:33,090
...pay the piper!
850
00:47:33,410 --> 00:47:35,430
After all, I thought,
why am I putting in my..
851
00:47:35,470 --> 00:47:36,310
- Nose!
852
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:39,170
...putting in my oar in a quarrel
that was none of mine,
853
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,240
however now that I am here,
I may as well go through with it.
854
00:47:41,270 --> 00:47:42,840
Come Gascon, do your duty.
855
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,850
Suddenly a sword
flashed in the dark!
856
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:45,810
I caught it fair...
857
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:46,810
On the nose!
858
00:47:47,940 --> 00:47:49,130
...on my blade!
859
00:47:49,170 --> 00:47:50,530
Before I knew it,
there I was...
860
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:51,690
Rubbing noses!
861
00:47:51,730 --> 00:47:53,840
...crossing swords with
harvard's joy once.
862
00:47:53,870 --> 00:47:54,940
I had the bottom then...
863
00:47:54,980 --> 00:47:55,900
A nosegay!
864
00:47:55,940 --> 00:47:57,160
...a monstrous crab tree.
865
00:47:57,610 --> 00:48:00,170
(breathing heavily)
He went down for as a wave.
866
00:48:00,380 --> 00:48:00,990
I charged...
867
00:48:01,030 --> 00:48:02,590
Who was in the air hard.
868
00:48:02,620 --> 00:48:03,450
...at the two of them.
869
00:48:04,750 --> 00:48:05,900
Another lunged,
and I parried...
870
00:48:05,940 --> 00:48:07,220
Through your nose!
871
00:48:07,250 --> 00:48:09,310
Right out of here!
All of you go!
872
00:48:09,340 --> 00:48:10,120
Leave me with him.
873
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,660
To my arms, sir.
You have courage.
874
00:48:28,690 --> 00:48:29,880
- That pleases me.
- Why?
875
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,820
Come, do you not know
I am her brother?
876
00:48:31,850 --> 00:48:32,460
Whose?
877
00:48:32,500 --> 00:48:34,250
Hers. Roxane.
878
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:38,390
Brother?
879
00:48:39,260 --> 00:48:40,170
You?
880
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,150
Well, a distant cousin.
Much the same.
881
00:48:42,510 --> 00:48:44,450
- Then she has told you?
- Everything.
882
00:48:44,580 --> 00:48:46,680
- She loves me?
- Perhaps.
883
00:48:47,610 --> 00:48:49,950
My dear sir, more than I can say.
I am honored.
884
00:48:49,990 --> 00:48:52,040
- Rather sudden.
- Oh, please, forgive me.
885
00:48:52,260 --> 00:48:54,270
If you knew how
much I have admired you.
886
00:48:54,310 --> 00:48:57,620
- Yes, yes, and all those noses.
- Please. I apologize.
887
00:48:59,060 --> 00:49:00,680
Roxane expects a letter.
888
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:02,300
- From me?
- Yes, why not?
889
00:49:02,340 --> 00:49:03,180
Oh,, No.
890
00:49:03,530 --> 00:49:05,880
- Once I write, that ruins everything.
- Why?
891
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,020
Because, any schoolboy can write
to her more gracefully than I.
892
00:49:09,590 --> 00:49:10,730
A fool!
893
00:49:10,900 --> 00:49:14,560
- You did not attack me like a fool.
- Anyone can pick a quarrel.
894
00:49:14,740 --> 00:49:16,580
No, I'm never at loss
for words among men,
895
00:49:16,610 --> 00:49:21,260
but with any women...
paralyzed...speechless, dumb.
896
00:49:21,460 --> 00:49:23,600
I'm one of those
stammering idiots
897
00:49:23,630 --> 00:49:25,270
who can not court a woman.
898
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:26,170
Really?
899
00:49:26,810 --> 00:49:28,700
As for myself,
it seems to me that
900
00:49:28,730 --> 00:49:32,300
given the opportunity,
and if I put my mind to it,
901
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,390
I could do that..
rather well.
902
00:49:35,420 --> 00:49:37,870
Oh, is I had words to say
what I have here!
903
00:49:37,900 --> 00:49:39,450
If I were handsome
like you.
904
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,780
Together, we could make
one mighty hero of romance.
905
00:49:43,820 --> 00:49:45,330
If only I had your wit.
906
00:49:50,570 --> 00:49:51,710
Borrow it, then.
907
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:53,150
What?
908
00:49:54,670 --> 00:49:55,490
Tell me,
909
00:49:56,910 --> 00:49:59,770
would you dare repeat to her
the words I gave you day by day?
910
00:50:00,330 --> 00:50:02,420
Send to her
the letters that I write?
911
00:50:02,460 --> 00:50:04,800
I mean, that Roxane
should have no disillusionment.
912
00:50:05,180 --> 00:50:06,820
Come, shall we win her
both together?
913
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:07,800
For you?
914
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,970
- Why, Cyrano...
- Christian, why not?
915
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,850
I...I'm afraid.
916
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,030
Afraid that when you
have her all alone, you will lose her.
917
00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:16,420
Have not fear,
it is your self she loves.
918
00:50:16,450 --> 00:50:17,920
Give her yourself.
919
00:50:17,950 --> 00:50:23,670
Put into words,
my words...upon your lips.
920
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:25,180
Will you?
921
00:50:26,780 --> 00:50:28,030
Will you?
922
00:50:28,910 --> 00:50:30,740
Does it mean
so much to you?
923
00:50:30,770 --> 00:50:32,360
It means....
924
00:50:34,110 --> 00:50:37,060
It means a comedy,
a situation for a poet.
925
00:50:37,190 --> 00:50:38,350
Come, shall we collaborate?
926
00:50:38,390 --> 00:50:42,420
I'll be your cloak of darkness,
your enchanted sword,
927
00:50:42,460 --> 00:50:45,330
your ring to charm
the fairy princess.
928
00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:49,180
Think!
Is the prize not worth the danger?
929
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:52,980
My friend!
930
00:50:54,620 --> 00:50:55,740
My friend.
931
00:50:56,890 --> 00:51:00,100
Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
932
00:51:00,350 --> 00:51:03,650
Plucking the flowers,
we will keep the plant in bloom.
933
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,010
Thus do I love thee,
my darling.
934
00:51:08,890 --> 00:51:09,670
Idiot.
935
00:51:09,910 --> 00:51:12,200
There are a dozen
ways to read that line.
936
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:14,500
Can't you give it some meaning?
Any meaning!
937
00:51:14,530 --> 00:51:15,950
THUS do I love thee!
938
00:51:15,980 --> 00:51:17,280
Thus do "I" love thee.
939
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:18,550
Thus do I LOVE thee.
940
00:51:18,580 --> 00:51:20,930
Thus do I love THEE,
THEE, THEE.
941
00:51:22,580 --> 00:51:25,680
Who knows your smile
has known a perfect thing.
942
00:51:25,710 --> 00:51:28,400
You are a white rose,
wherein love lies in ambush
943
00:51:28,430 --> 00:51:30,180
for its natural prey.
944
00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:33,760
In the garden of my heart,
you are the most...
945
00:51:33,930 --> 00:51:35,680
eh, the most....
946
00:51:37,450 --> 00:51:39,750
fragrant blossom.
947
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,780
As the tender sapling
thirsts for rain,
948
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,900
as the eagle seeks the sky,
949
00:51:48,030 --> 00:51:51,050
as the wave
hurtles toward the shore,
950
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,990
my heart yearns for you.
951
00:51:54,460 --> 00:51:55,820
Good, good.
952
00:51:55,970 --> 00:51:58,740
You know, you're beginning
to have a feel for words.
953
00:51:58,770 --> 00:52:02,010
- Words. I'm sick of words.
- Those are your weapons.
954
00:52:02,050 --> 00:52:03,190
How else do you conquer?
955
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,130
Yes, but when, when?
956
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,190
They're fighting in the north, now.
You know that.
957
00:52:06,230 --> 00:52:07,690
The Regiment will be
called up any day,
958
00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:08,840
and I've never
even kissed her.
959
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,940
Patience, my boy, patience.
960
00:52:11,980 --> 00:52:13,110
I've been patient.
961
00:52:13,140 --> 00:52:16,280
Why, she sees the Compte de Guiche
as often as she does me.
962
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,120
Do you suppose
she's playing with me?
963
00:52:21,260 --> 00:52:22,500
Making a fool of me?
964
00:52:23,850 --> 00:52:24,880
Impossible.
965
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,210
How can you say?
How do you know?
966
00:52:27,210 --> 00:52:31,390
Cyrano, you have her confidence.
You could find out.
967
00:52:39,300 --> 00:52:40,690
Nonsense, I say.
968
00:52:42,260 --> 00:52:43,440
Oh, very well.
969
00:52:43,870 --> 00:52:45,190
I'll scout the terrain.
970
00:52:45,230 --> 00:52:47,200
Listen, Cyrano,
intelligently, discreetly.
971
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:48,160
Yes.
972
00:52:48,190 --> 00:52:49,340
With finesse.
973
00:52:52,010 --> 00:52:55,510
And, uh, what do you think
of Christian after all these weeks?
974
00:52:55,620 --> 00:52:58,030
He is beautiful,
but he's brilliant.
975
00:52:58,070 --> 00:52:59,760
- And I love him.
- Good!
976
00:52:59,870 --> 00:53:01,750
Uh, do you find him intellectual?
977
00:53:01,790 --> 00:53:03,600
- More so than you, even.
- Huh?
978
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,470
- Oh, I didn't mean.
- No, no, no, I am glad.
979
00:53:06,500 --> 00:53:09,290
No man ever so beautifully
said those things.
980
00:53:09,330 --> 00:53:11,900
Those pretty nothings
to everything.
981
00:53:12,310 --> 00:53:15,780
Sometimes, he,. he, he falls
into a reverie.
982
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,110
His inspiration..fails.
983
00:53:20,050 --> 00:53:23,940
But, then all at once,
he will say something absolutely...
984
00:53:23,980 --> 00:53:25,370
Ah!
985
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:26,760
Really?
986
00:53:27,470 --> 00:53:28,910
How like a man!
987
00:53:28,940 --> 00:53:32,220
You think because a man
has a handsome face he must be a fool.
988
00:53:33,330 --> 00:53:34,790
Not necessarily.
989
00:53:34,830 --> 00:53:38,410
Uh, he talks well about, uh,
matters of the heart?
990
00:53:38,450 --> 00:53:42,420
He does not talk.
He rhapsodizes. He dreams.
991
00:53:42,460 --> 00:53:46,360
Only the other night he said to me,
extemporaneously, mind you.
992
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:47,220
Oh, of course.
993
00:53:47,980 --> 00:53:50,660
'Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
994
00:53:50,700 --> 00:53:54,760
'Plucking the flowers
we will keep the plants in bloom.'
995
00:53:55,720 --> 00:53:56,730
Well?
996
00:53:56,770 --> 00:53:58,530
Umm, passable.
997
00:53:58,950 --> 00:54:00,010
He writes well?
998
00:54:00,050 --> 00:54:02,080
Wonderfully, listen:
999
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,510
'Knowing you have in store
more heart to give
1000
00:54:05,550 --> 00:54:08,160
- 'than I to find heart room...'
- The first he has too much heart,
1001
00:54:08,190 --> 00:54:10,400
then too little. Just how much heart
does he need?
1002
00:54:10,470 --> 00:54:11,740
You are teasing.
1003
00:54:11,870 --> 00:54:12,870
You are jealous!
1004
00:54:12,910 --> 00:54:13,690
Jealous?
1005
00:54:13,730 --> 00:54:14,440
Yes.
1006
00:54:14,470 --> 00:54:15,840
Poets are all alike.
1007
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:19,660
Would you dare
criticize these lines?
1008
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:25,100
'Only believe that unto you
my whole heart gives one cry.
1009
00:54:25,540 --> 00:54:29,470
'And writing, writes down
more than you receive.
1010
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,010
'Sending you kisses
through my fingertips.
1011
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,020
'Lady, oh, read my letter
with your lips.'
1012
00:54:39,340 --> 00:54:43,820
Yes, those last lines,
but he overwrites.
1013
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:44,970
Listen to this.
1014
00:54:45,010 --> 00:54:46,000
Do you know
them all by heart?
1015
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,070
Every one.
1016
00:54:47,110 --> 00:54:48,500
Well, I may call
that flattering.
1017
00:54:48,530 --> 00:54:49,310
He is a master.
1018
00:54:49,350 --> 00:54:51,850
- Oh, come..
- Yes, a master.
1019
00:54:51,860 --> 00:54:55,270
Huh, a master,...
if you will.
1020
00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:00,520
And, uh, when do you
bestow the laurel wreath?
1021
00:55:00,540 --> 00:55:05,290
How many prodigies of poetry
must this new Hercules perform?
1022
00:55:05,390 --> 00:55:06,490
I do not know.
1023
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:11,580
My friend, you men own the world
and all that's in it.
1024
00:55:12,020 --> 00:55:17,990
Woman is at best a prize, a property
valued much the same as a horse or a dog,
1025
00:55:18,150 --> 00:55:22,010
unlike the pear and sheen of skin
and soundness of teeth and limb.
1026
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:27,870
Well, if I must be chattel,
then the terms shall be mine,
1027
00:55:27,910 --> 00:55:31,480
and the price according
to my own values.
1028
00:55:31,510 --> 00:55:32,670
There.
1029
00:55:34,070 --> 00:55:35,460
I see.
1030
00:55:37,060 --> 00:55:39,880
Christian tells me
that you meet tonight.
1031
00:55:42,510 --> 00:55:45,210
What would you have him
speak about?
1032
00:55:46,230 --> 00:55:47,910
Oh, nothing,
1033
00:55:48,260 --> 00:55:49,530
and everything.
1034
00:55:49,980 --> 00:55:54,140
I shall say, speak to me
of love in your own words.
1035
00:55:54,550 --> 00:55:56,810
Improvise, rhapsodize.
1036
00:55:57,540 --> 00:55:58,790
Be eloquent.
1037
00:55:59,910 --> 00:56:01,540
But you will not tell him,
will you?
1038
00:56:01,570 --> 00:56:03,270
Ah, perish the thought.
1039
00:56:03,590 --> 00:56:06,370
Madame, Compte de Guiche.
1040
00:56:10,720 --> 00:56:12,820
(Sigh)
Madame.
1041
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:16,880
Monsieur.
1042
00:56:17,770 --> 00:56:18,770
Madame.
1043
00:56:21,570 --> 00:56:24,270
Monsieur.
(Crunch)
1044
00:56:33,430 --> 00:56:35,090
- Christian, quick.
- No.
1045
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,030
There's still time to learn your lines.
No.
1046
00:56:37,070 --> 00:56:39,760
I have some brilliant phrases for you,
brilliant, sensitive...
1047
00:56:39,790 --> 00:56:40,500
No.
1048
00:56:41,150 --> 00:56:42,160
I'll have not more of it.
1049
00:56:42,190 --> 00:56:44,250
Taking all my words, my sentences
all from you,
1050
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,490
- making our love a little comedy.
- Don't you real...
1051
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,480
It was a game at first,
but now she cares.
1052
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:49,390
Huh?
1053
00:56:49,430 --> 00:56:50,750
Thanks to you.
Uh.
1054
00:56:50,790 --> 00:56:53,060
I'm not afraid any longer.
I'll speak for myself, now.
1055
00:56:53,090 --> 00:56:53,720
Oh, undoubtedly.
1056
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,990
I will. You shall see!
1057
00:56:56,500 --> 00:56:59,110
Besides, I know enough
to take a woman in my arms,
1058
00:56:59,150 --> 00:57:00,870
and tonight, I will.
1059
00:57:04,070 --> 00:57:05,420
(knocking on door)
- Christian!
1060
00:57:05,450 --> 00:57:07,210
Thank you, my friend,
and goodbye.
1061
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:09,040
- Christian, I beg of you.
- Leave me!
1062
00:57:09,070 --> 00:57:10,830
- You're making a grave error.
- Go away!
1063
00:57:13,540 --> 00:57:14,540
So be it.
1064
00:57:16,950 --> 00:57:18,600
(door opens)
1065
00:57:20,300 --> 00:57:21,440
Christian.
1066
00:57:21,470 --> 00:57:22,580
Roxane.
1067
00:57:23,190 --> 00:57:25,330
I'm so glad you are early.
1068
00:57:26,430 --> 00:57:28,400
Let us stay out here
in the moonlight.
1069
00:57:29,150 --> 00:57:30,490
It's so pleasant.
1070
00:57:32,780 --> 00:57:33,630
Sit down.
1071
00:57:36,450 --> 00:57:37,720
There, so.
1072
00:57:40,770 --> 00:57:43,780
Now, speak to me.
1073
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:45,470
I love you.
1074
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,330
Yes, speak to me of love.
1075
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,390
I...love you.
1076
00:57:53,430 --> 00:57:55,640
Now, be eloquent.
Be brilliant for me.
1077
00:57:56,300 --> 00:57:57,940
Tonight of all nights.
1078
00:57:58,250 --> 00:58:01,560
I love you....so.
1079
00:58:03,610 --> 00:58:07,630
You have your scene.
Now, improvise, rhapsodize.
1080
00:58:07,660 --> 00:58:11,570
I love you...
very much!
1081
00:58:14,500 --> 00:58:17,600
I ask for cream,
and you give me milk and water.
1082
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:22,490
Tell me firstly,
how you love me.
1083
00:58:22,530 --> 00:58:23,780
Very much!
1084
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:26,440
Is that all you feel?
1085
00:58:26,470 --> 00:58:29,360
Your throat, if only
I might kiss it.
1086
00:58:29,390 --> 00:58:30,170
Christian!
1087
00:58:30,210 --> 00:58:31,520
But, Roxane, I love you.
1088
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:32,860
Again.
1089
00:58:32,890 --> 00:58:34,450
No, not again.
I do not love you.
1090
00:58:37,490 --> 00:58:38,540
That is better.
1091
00:58:39,380 --> 00:58:42,870
I...I adore you!
1092
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:43,870
Oh!
1093
00:58:44,570 --> 00:58:46,070
I know I grow absurd.
1094
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:48,870
And that distresses me as much
as if you had grown ugly!
1095
00:58:51,020 --> 00:58:54,910
Please. Gather your dreams
together into words.
1096
00:58:54,950 --> 00:58:57,830
I...um, I...
1097
00:58:57,870 --> 00:59:00,280
I know. You love me!
Good night!
1098
00:59:00,310 --> 00:59:01,440
Oh, but wait, please!
1099
00:59:01,470 --> 00:59:02,530
I was going to say...
1100
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:04,510
That you adore me.
Yes, I know that, too.
1101
00:59:04,540 --> 00:59:06,720
-No, go away.
- I....
1102
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,290
(door slams shut)
1103
00:59:25,170 --> 00:59:28,330
(Cyrano claps his hands)
1104
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:29,870
A great success.
1105
00:59:30,940 --> 00:59:31,720
Help me.
1106
00:59:31,750 --> 00:59:33,620
Not I.
Speak for yourself, my friend.
1107
00:59:33,660 --> 00:59:35,220
Why I...I can't.
1108
00:59:35,250 --> 00:59:38,040
Well, at least you know enough
to take a woman in your arms.
1109
00:59:38,070 --> 00:59:39,680
Oh, Cyrano, please!
1110
00:59:39,790 --> 00:59:41,610
What, and make your love
a little comedy.
1111
00:59:41,650 --> 00:59:44,060
Cyrano, I cannot live
unless I win her back, now.
1112
00:59:44,100 --> 00:59:44,610
This moment!
1113
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,890
This moment. How the devil
am I to teach you now, this mo...
1114
00:59:47,980 --> 00:59:48,940
(Christian)
Her window.
1115
00:59:49,510 --> 00:59:51,690
- Help me, Cyrano, help me.
- Shhhh.
1116
00:59:53,290 --> 00:59:54,800
(Cyrano)
It does seem fairly dark.
1117
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:55,780
(Christian)
Well? Well?
1118
00:59:57,490 --> 00:59:59,190
(Cyrano)
It is more than
you deserve.
1119
01:00:00,550 --> 01:00:02,010
(Cyrano)
I must try out what
can be done.
1120
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:03,040
(Cyrano)
Stand over there.
1121
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,500
(Cyrano)
Idiot, here, before the balcony.
I'll whisper you what to say.
1122
01:00:09,540 --> 01:00:11,380
- She'll hear..
- Shhhh. Call her.
1123
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:13,690
(Christian)
Roxane.
1124
01:00:14,950 --> 01:00:17,330
(Christian louder)
Roxane.
1125
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,220
(balcony window opens)
1126
01:00:21,690 --> 01:00:22,760
Who's calling?
1127
01:00:23,430 --> 01:00:24,240
Christian.
1128
01:00:24,570 --> 01:00:25,670
You again.
1129
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:27,420
I...had to tell you.
1130
01:00:27,710 --> 01:00:29,340
No. Go away.
You tell me nothing.
1131
01:00:29,370 --> 01:00:30,390
Please.
1132
01:00:30,430 --> 01:00:32,240
You do not
love me anymore.
1133
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:34,810
(Christian copies Cyrano)
No, not anymore.
1134
01:00:35,530 --> 01:00:37,340
I love you evermore,
1135
01:00:38,150 --> 01:00:40,050
and evermore and more.
1136
01:00:41,190 --> 01:00:42,640
Oh, a little better.
1137
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,160
Love grows and struggles
like an angry child.
1138
01:00:48,710 --> 01:00:50,620
Breaking my heart.
1139
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,070
His cradle...
1140
01:00:53,110 --> 01:00:54,630
Better still.
1141
01:00:55,230 --> 01:00:57,390
But such a babe is dangerous.
1142
01:00:57,910 --> 01:01:00,140
Why not have
smothered it newborn?
1143
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:03,290
And so I do.
1144
01:01:03,650 --> 01:01:05,290
And yet he lives.
1145
01:01:06,340 --> 01:01:08,910
I found as you sha...
you shall find
1146
01:01:10,250 --> 01:01:14,400
this newborn babe...
and infant Hercules!
1147
01:01:14,900 --> 01:01:15,430
Good.
1148
01:01:15,460 --> 01:01:16,820
Strong enough at birth
1149
01:01:17,740 --> 01:01:19,600
to strangle
those two serpents
1150
01:01:20,010 --> 01:01:20,550
doubt and
1151
01:01:20,590 --> 01:01:21,090
<i>What?</i>
1152
01:01:21,250 --> 01:01:22,600
pride!
1153
01:01:23,410 --> 01:01:24,440
Why, very good.
1154
01:01:25,330 --> 01:01:27,880
Only, tell me why
you speak so haltingly.
1155
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,580
Has your imagination
gone....lame?
1156
01:01:33,260 --> 01:01:35,130
(Cyrano)
This grows too difficult.
1157
01:01:35,530 --> 01:01:38,320
Your words tonight
hesitate, why?
1158
01:01:38,630 --> 01:01:42,970
Through the warm summer gloom,
they grope in darkness
1159
01:01:43,170 --> 01:01:44,690
toward the light of you.
1160
01:01:46,010 --> 01:01:47,860
My words are
heavy with honey,
1161
01:01:47,900 --> 01:01:49,360
like returning bees.
1162
01:01:50,190 --> 01:01:52,310
Yet they must fly so high.
1163
01:01:52,530 --> 01:01:54,140
Come nearer then.
Stand you on the bench.
1164
01:01:54,170 --> 01:01:55,000
No.
1165
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:56,190
Then I'll come down.
1166
01:01:56,230 --> 01:01:57,110
NO!
1167
01:01:57,570 --> 01:01:59,380
And why so great a no?
1168
01:02:00,490 --> 01:02:02,920
Let me enjoy the one
moment I ever...
1169
01:02:03,710 --> 01:02:07,110
My one chance
to speak to you...unseen.
1170
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:08,290
Unseen?
1171
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:09,740
Yes. Yes.
1172
01:02:10,070 --> 01:02:12,380
Night making all things
dimly beautiful
1173
01:02:12,410 --> 01:02:13,770
one veil over us both.
1174
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,040
You need no eyes
to hear my heart.
1175
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:20,410
Oh, tonight, let it seem as if
I speak for the first time.
1176
01:02:21,150 --> 01:02:22,110
For the first time?
1177
01:02:22,140 --> 01:02:23,000
Yes.
1178
01:02:23,940 --> 01:02:25,780
Your voice, even,
is not the same.
1179
01:02:25,810 --> 01:02:26,990
How should it be.
1180
01:02:27,030 --> 01:02:28,450
I have another
voice tonight.
1181
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:31,250
My own, myself,... daring!
1182
01:02:31,610 --> 01:02:32,610
Why daring?
1183
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,600
Because, what am I, what is any man
would he dare ask for you?
1184
01:02:36,630 --> 01:02:40,780
Therefore my heart has hidden behind
poetic words and tinsel phrases.
1185
01:02:41,260 --> 01:02:43,640
But are they not sweet,
those pretty phrases?
1186
01:02:43,670 --> 01:02:45,630
Not enough sweet
for you and me tonight.
1187
01:02:47,530 --> 01:02:49,240
You never spoke
to me like this.
1188
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,510
I tell you, there comes
one moment, once,
1189
01:02:51,540 --> 01:02:53,800
and heaven help those
who pass that moment by,
1190
01:02:53,830 --> 01:02:56,110
when beauty stands
looking into the soul
1191
01:02:56,150 --> 01:03:01,810
with grave, sweet eyes,
that sicken at pretty words.
1192
01:03:02,650 --> 01:03:06,260
Yes...that is love.
1193
01:03:06,290 --> 01:03:07,010
Love.
1194
01:03:07,050 --> 01:03:09,260
A love beyond breath,
beyond reason,
1195
01:03:09,290 --> 01:03:11,590
beyond love's own
power of loving.
1196
01:03:11,630 --> 01:03:14,200
Your name is like a golden bell
hung in my heart,
1197
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:18,450
and when I think of you I tremble,
and the bell swings and rings,
1198
01:03:18,610 --> 01:03:28,580
Roxane! Roxane!
Along my veins...Roxane.
1199
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,970
Yes...that is love.
1200
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,770
(Cyrano)
Yes...that is love.
1201
01:03:36,090 --> 01:03:38,920
That wind of terrible
and jealous beauty,
1202
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:44,200
that dark fire,
that soaring, blinding music.
1203
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,690
Yet, you may take my happiness
to make you happier
1204
01:03:47,730 --> 01:03:49,410
even though you
never know I gave it to you.
1205
01:03:49,940 --> 01:03:55,700
Only let me hear, sometimes, all alone,
the distant laughter of your joy.
1206
01:03:56,740 --> 01:03:58,470
Do you begin
to understand a little?
1207
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,200
Can you feel my soul there
in the darkness breathe on you?
1208
01:04:03,230 --> 01:04:06,630
Oh, only tonight,
now I dare say these things.
1209
01:04:06,790 --> 01:04:09,400
I to you, and you hear them.
1210
01:04:10,030 --> 01:04:12,650
It is my voice, mine, my own
that makes you tremble
1211
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,390
there in the green gloom,
above me, for you do tremble
1212
01:04:15,430 --> 01:04:18,110
as a blossom among the leaves,
you tremble, and I can feel
1213
01:04:18,140 --> 01:04:19,670
all the way down along
this jasmine branch
1214
01:04:19,710 --> 01:04:23,700
whether you will unhold
the passion of you trembling.
1215
01:04:24,340 --> 01:04:25,960
Yes, I do tremble.
1216
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,880
And I weep, and I love you,
and I am yours,
1217
01:04:29,910 --> 01:04:31,720
and you have made me thus.
1218
01:04:36,710 --> 01:04:38,250
I have done this to you.
1219
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,380
I myself.
1220
01:04:44,970 --> 01:04:47,240
Only let me ask
one thing more.
1221
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:48,900
I want a kiss!
1222
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:52,080
You ask me for...
1223
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:53,060
I...yes.
1224
01:04:53,100 --> 01:04:54,260
That is to say...
1225
01:04:54,780 --> 01:04:55,770
I mean...
1226
01:04:56,140 --> 01:04:57,450
You've gone too far.
1227
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,370
If she's willing, why
not make the most of it?
1228
01:04:59,410 --> 01:05:04,270
I, I ask.
I know I ask too much.
1229
01:05:05,150 --> 01:05:06,420
Only one?
1230
01:05:07,550 --> 01:05:08,630
Is that all?
1231
01:05:09,150 --> 01:05:12,210
All?
How much more than all?
1232
01:05:12,250 --> 01:05:16,030
I know I startle you,
I...I ask, I ask you to refuse.
1233
01:05:16,070 --> 01:05:17,200
Why? Why? Why?
1234
01:05:17,230 --> 01:05:18,350
Christian, be quiet.
1235
01:05:18,390 --> 01:05:19,430
What is that your say?
1236
01:05:19,470 --> 01:05:21,810
I am angry with myself,
because I know I go too far
1237
01:05:21,850 --> 01:05:26,270
and so I say to myself,
CHRISTIAN, BE QUIET!
1238
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:28,300
Watch it, someone comes.
1239
01:05:36,390 --> 01:05:39,180
Well, sir, I am looking
for the house of madame Roxane Robin.
1240
01:05:39,220 --> 01:05:43,450
This is not the house. That way.
To the right. Keep to the right.
1241
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:44,330
I thank you sir.
1242
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,880
I shall say my beads for you
to the very last bead.
1243
01:05:49,340 --> 01:05:50,680
Win me that kiss?
1244
01:05:51,370 --> 01:05:52,070
No!
1245
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:53,780
Sooner or later.
1246
01:05:59,170 --> 01:06:00,510
So that is true.
1247
01:06:01,460 --> 01:06:07,540
Sooner or later must be so, because,
she is young, and you are handsome.
1248
01:06:09,170 --> 01:06:15,240
Since it must be, I'd rather be
myself the cause, if it must be.
1249
01:06:16,990 --> 01:06:19,620
(balcony window opens)
1250
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:24,660
Are you still there?
1251
01:06:24,690 --> 01:06:25,470
(Cyrano)
Yes.
1252
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:28,740
We were speaking of...
1253
01:06:30,090 --> 01:06:32,450
A kiss.
- A kiss.
1254
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,340
And what is a kiss
when all is done?
1255
01:06:34,930 --> 01:06:37,080
A vow taken before
the shrine of memory.
1256
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,650
A rosy dot
over the "i" of loving.
1257
01:06:39,790 --> 01:06:42,950
- A secret whisper
to listen if the past.
1258
01:06:42,980 --> 01:06:43,650
Shhh.
1259
01:06:43,690 --> 01:06:46,720
A moment free to mortal
with a rush of wing from Ceden.
1260
01:06:46,750 --> 01:06:48,220
A sacrament of blossoms.
1261
01:06:48,260 --> 01:06:53,250
A new song sung by two hearts
to an old, simple tune.
1262
01:06:53,290 --> 01:06:54,430
Hush.
1263
01:06:54,460 --> 01:06:56,050
Why? What shame?
1264
01:06:58,010 --> 01:07:01,310
No.
No shame.
1265
01:07:01,610 --> 01:07:02,770
Then come.
1266
01:07:03,550 --> 01:07:05,680
Gather your sacred blossoms.
1267
01:07:07,250 --> 01:07:09,230
Your moment made immortal.
1268
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:09,860
Climb!
1269
01:07:10,660 --> 01:07:12,300
- But, climb?
- Many more!
1270
01:07:22,410 --> 01:07:23,760
Roxane.
1271
01:07:33,870 --> 01:07:34,690
(sigh)
1272
01:07:36,090 --> 01:07:39,770
Ah, Roxane.
I have won what I have wanted.
1273
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:45,410
A feast of love,
and I am faint with hunger.
1274
01:07:48,110 --> 01:07:51,040
Yet, I have something here
that is mine now,...
1275
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,380
and was not mine before.
1276
01:07:54,220 --> 01:07:56,790
I spoke the words
that won her.
1277
01:07:57,890 --> 01:08:05,890
She kisses my words.
My words...upon his lips.
1278
01:08:07,230 --> 01:08:08,650
(gate opens)
1279
01:08:13,250 --> 01:08:14,670
What, dear Father,
lost your way again?
1280
01:08:14,710 --> 01:08:16,270
But, she lives here,
Madame Robin.
1281
01:08:16,300 --> 01:08:17,830
Oh, I thought
you said, Rolen?
1282
01:08:17,860 --> 01:08:19,850
No, r..o..b..i..n, Robin.
1283
01:08:19,890 --> 01:08:21,030
Oh, Robin, I see.
1284
01:08:21,070 --> 01:08:23,090
I'm too old
to chase wild geese
1285
01:08:23,130 --> 01:08:25,080
- my feet...
- Oh, what a shame,
1286
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,920
(knocking on door)
however, I'm sure there's someone at home.
1287
01:08:29,330 --> 01:08:30,120
(door opens)
1288
01:08:30,150 --> 01:08:30,860
What is it?
1289
01:08:30,890 --> 01:08:34,570
Yeah, I'm looking for
the young lady, Madam Rolen
1290
01:08:34,610 --> 01:08:35,840
Rolen?
1291
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:37,080
Robin!
1292
01:08:37,950 --> 01:08:40,050
Madame!
A letter for you.
1293
01:08:40,590 --> 01:08:42,070
Yes, yes, I heard.
1294
01:08:42,970 --> 01:08:43,650
Cyrano.
1295
01:08:43,690 --> 01:08:46,080
Uh, passing by cousin,
I saw this light.
1296
01:08:46,700 --> 01:08:50,330
Uh, some matter
profitable to the soul.
1297
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:52,550
A very noble lord gave it to me.
1298
01:08:52,750 --> 01:08:53,640
(Christian)
What is it?
1299
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,100
<i>My regiment has been
ordered to the front. </i>
1300
01:08:57,130 --> 01:08:59,490
<i>I cannot allow you
to delay any longer.</i>
1301
01:08:59,530 --> 01:09:01,820
<i>This simple old monk,
who knows nothing,</i>
1302
01:09:01,850 --> 01:09:04,190
<i>will marry us tonight.
My love, Antoine de Guiche.</i>
1303
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,110
(Roxane changes everything)
1304
01:09:07,150 --> 01:09:08,880
Father, this letter
concerns you.
1305
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,930
"Madame, the Cardinal
will have his way,
1306
01:09:13,970 --> 01:09:15,530
"although against your will.
1307
01:09:15,710 --> 01:09:18,150
"That is why I am
sending this to you,
1308
01:09:18,180 --> 01:09:20,470
"by a most holy man.
1309
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,160
"Intelligent, discreet.
1310
01:09:23,580 --> 01:09:26,660
"You will communicate
to him our order to perform
1311
01:09:26,900 --> 01:09:31,160
"here and at once
the rite of holy matrimony.
1312
01:09:32,570 --> 01:09:35,910
"You and Christian will be
married privately in your house.
1313
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,760
"Be resigned to the
Cardinal's command,
1314
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:41,930
"who sends herewith
his blessings.
1315
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,060
"Your very humble,
and etcetera..."
1316
01:09:44,940 --> 01:09:46,750
Oh, this is terrible.
1317
01:09:48,220 --> 01:09:49,850
Oh, you're to be
the, uh...
1318
01:09:49,890 --> 01:09:51,490
I am to be the bridegroom.
1319
01:09:53,950 --> 01:09:56,230
Uh, look here.
A postscript.
1320
01:09:56,780 --> 01:10:02,320
"Give to the monastery,
in my name 120 pieces of gold."
1321
01:10:02,350 --> 01:10:04,070
One hundred and twenty...
1322
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,530
Oh, a worthy lord.
A very worthy lord.
1323
01:10:09,470 --> 01:10:12,030
Daughter, resign yourself.
1324
01:10:12,070 --> 01:10:14,080
I am resigned.
1325
01:10:22,350 --> 01:10:24,500
The Guiche is coming, too.
Don't let him enter.
1326
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:25,730
Not let him enter?
1327
01:10:25,770 --> 01:10:27,790
Until we're married, please.
1328
01:10:28,610 --> 01:10:30,340
(door slams shut)
1329
01:10:44,330 --> 01:10:45,250
(Count)
What is that?
1330
01:10:45,340 --> 01:10:46,330
(Cyrano)
Me?
1331
01:10:46,370 --> 01:10:48,360
- Why, where did you come from?
- The moon.
1332
01:10:48,390 --> 01:10:49,330
- You...
- From the moon.
1333
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:50,690
I have just returned
from the moon.
1334
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:52,420
- The fellow's mad!
-Like a bomb, I tell you,
1335
01:10:52,460 --> 01:10:54,130
- I fell from the moon!
- Your feet must...
1336
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:55,450
- I say THE MOON!
1337
01:10:55,480 --> 01:10:57,580
- Very well, if you say so.
- Thank you.
1338
01:10:57,610 --> 01:10:58,610
- Raving mad.
1339
01:11:00,660 --> 01:11:02,850
- Where am I?
- My dear sir!
1340
01:11:02,890 --> 01:11:04,080
- What place is this?
What country?
1341
01:11:04,110 --> 01:11:06,170
- Please, let me pass.
- This face, good heavens!
1342
01:11:06,210 --> 01:11:08,710
Maul, a robber.
Where am I?
1343
01:11:08,750 --> 01:11:12,830
- A lady is waiting for me.
- Oh, this is Paris, huh?
1344
01:11:12,870 --> 01:11:13,620
You fool!
1345
01:11:13,650 --> 01:11:14,800
Dear old Paris.
1346
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,750
Excuse my appearance.
I arrived by the last thunderbolt.
1347
01:11:17,790 --> 01:11:19,970
A trifled singed
as I passed through the ether.
1348
01:11:20,470 --> 01:11:21,320
Monsieur!
1349
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:22,080
Sir?
1350
01:11:22,130 --> 01:11:23,750
That will do, now. I wish...
1351
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,600
I know, you wish to look for
my own list of nature for moons
1352
01:11:25,630 --> 01:11:27,820
and happiness and character
of it's surface, if any.
1353
01:11:27,850 --> 01:11:29,060
I desire no such thing, I...
1354
01:11:29,100 --> 01:11:30,060
Of course not.
1355
01:11:32,940 --> 01:11:34,330
You wish to know
by what mysterious
1356
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:35,570
means I reached the moon.
1357
01:11:35,610 --> 01:11:37,870
Well, a very secret affair of state,
1358
01:11:37,900 --> 01:11:41,770
but confidentially
a new invention of my own.
1359
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:43,190
Drunk, two ways.
Well a man..
1360
01:11:43,230 --> 01:11:46,050
Oh, no. In truth I have
my choice of several inventions.
1361
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:46,600
Uh?
1362
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:50,850
Yes, several ways
to violate the virgin sky.
1363
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:52,210
Several?
1364
01:11:52,250 --> 01:11:53,510
Several.
1365
01:11:53,540 --> 01:11:57,520
As, for instance, smoke
having a natural tendency to rise,
1366
01:11:57,550 --> 01:12:02,050
blow in a globe
enough to raise me.
1367
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:03,300
Yes, that makes one.
1368
01:12:03,330 --> 01:12:06,780
Again, I might construct a rocket
in the shape of a HUGE locust
1369
01:12:06,820 --> 01:12:10,810
driven by impulses up within
a saltpeter from the rear
1370
01:12:10,850 --> 01:12:14,050
and thus speed upwards,
like, thus!
1371
01:12:14,260 --> 01:12:15,260
Yes, another?
1372
01:12:15,290 --> 01:12:18,950
Finally, seated on an iron plate,
hurl a magnet into the air.
1373
01:12:18,980 --> 01:12:21,810
The iron follows.
I catch the magnet.
1374
01:12:21,850 --> 01:12:25,330
Throw it again, and
so proceed indefinitely.
1375
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,460
Excellent, and
which did you adopt?
1376
01:12:31,450 --> 01:12:32,370
Why none of them.
1377
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:34,350
Yet another.
1378
01:12:34,390 --> 01:12:35,740
Which was...?
1379
01:12:46,810 --> 01:12:47,500
Guess.
1380
01:12:47,860 --> 01:12:49,370
Ahhh, I can't!
1381
01:12:50,090 --> 01:12:51,100
Try.
1382
01:12:52,340 --> 01:12:53,980
Interesting idiot, this.
1383
01:13:05,350 --> 01:13:06,540
Have you guessed it yet?
1384
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:07,960
Why, no, what is it?
1385
01:13:13,780 --> 01:13:15,870
Alas, you will never know,
but no matter.
1386
01:13:15,910 --> 01:13:18,470
You are free and
they are bound in wedlock.
1387
01:13:18,510 --> 01:13:21,010
I drunk that voice,
and that nose, Cyrano!
1388
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:23,710
Cyrano. This very moment
they have exchanged vows.
1389
01:13:23,750 --> 01:13:24,460
Who?
1390
01:13:29,820 --> 01:13:31,530
My sincere compliments.
1391
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,900
You, also, my traveler in space.
1392
01:13:34,940 --> 01:13:37,800
My Lord, the heads of Capathieu
and Joyce have joined together.
1393
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:38,750
Quite so!
1394
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:44,160
Madame, kindly bid
your... husband farewell.
1395
01:13:44,190 --> 01:13:46,670
Your regiment leaves tonight, sir.
Report at once!
1396
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:49,320
But, the Cadets are not called.
1397
01:13:49,350 --> 01:13:51,850
They are, indeed, and
under my command.
1398
01:13:52,710 --> 01:13:55,080
Out there we may
have an accounting.
1399
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:58,130
Somehow, that news
fails to disquiet me.
1400
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,190
Here are the orders.
Baron, deliver this.
1401
01:14:02,500 --> 01:14:03,650
Christian!
1402
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,660
The bridal night
is not so near.
1403
01:14:10,090 --> 01:14:13,400
Somehow that news
fails to disquiet me.
1404
01:14:17,710 --> 01:14:19,340
Baron, you have your orders.
1405
01:14:36,270 --> 01:14:37,530
Farewell, Roxane.
1406
01:14:38,290 --> 01:14:40,490
Take care of him, for me.
Promise me never to let him
1407
01:14:40,530 --> 01:14:41,400
do anything dangerous.
1408
01:14:41,430 --> 01:14:42,890
I will do my best.
I cannot promise.
1409
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:44,970
I thought you brave always.
Make him be careful.
1410
01:14:45,010 --> 01:14:46,070
Yes, yes, I'll try.
1411
01:14:46,110 --> 01:14:47,840
Be sure to keep him
warm and dry!
1412
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:49,150
Yes, if possible.
1413
01:14:49,190 --> 01:14:51,820
Have him write to me
every single day!
1414
01:14:51,860 --> 01:14:54,090
That, I promise you.
1415
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,970
(the war with Spain)
1416
01:15:40,820 --> 01:15:41,540
Halt!
1417
01:16:03,370 --> 01:16:03,920
Uh!
1418
01:16:13,930 --> 01:16:18,590
(Madame Baroness de Neuvillette,
Rue Marais No. 12, Paris)
1419
01:16:46,610 --> 01:16:48,170
The situation
is simple, gentlemen.
1420
01:16:48,420 --> 01:16:53,340
We have besieged Arras.
The Prince of Spain has besieged us.
1421
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,960
Consequently, we
are surrounded.
1422
01:16:56,050 --> 01:16:58,920
- A fine war. Where
the besiegers are besieged
1423
01:16:58,950 --> 01:17:00,020
and starve to death.
1424
01:17:00,060 --> 01:17:01,990
Yes, but the Marshal has
devised a brilliant plan
1425
01:17:02,030 --> 01:17:03,480
for bringing in food
this very night.
1426
01:17:03,510 --> 01:17:04,460
Now, see here.
1427
01:17:04,500 --> 01:17:06,240
Spare us the details, Colonel.
1428
01:17:06,270 --> 01:17:08,820
Merely inform us
when the food arrives.
1429
01:17:08,860 --> 01:17:11,380
True, we are hungry.
But why blame me?
1430
01:17:11,700 --> 01:17:13,320
I'm only your Colonel.
1431
01:17:14,700 --> 01:17:16,910
Oh, yes, I know
you disprove of me.
1432
01:17:17,020 --> 01:17:18,940
Call me courtier, politician.
1433
01:17:19,430 --> 01:17:22,080
Well, I can afford you little hates.
1434
01:17:22,110 --> 01:17:24,730
My conduct under fire
is well known.
1435
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,170
It was only yesterday
I repelled a Spanish attack.
1436
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,070
Pouring my men down
like an avalanche.
1437
01:17:29,250 --> 01:17:30,710
I, myself lead the charge.
1438
01:17:30,900 --> 01:17:33,330
- And your white scarf?
(through a cannon barrel)
1439
01:17:33,370 --> 01:17:34,130
Cyrano!
1440
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:39,140
And your white scarf?
1441
01:17:39,150 --> 01:17:40,480
Eh, you heard that episode?
1442
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:44,110
Yes, I was so far in advance
I was in danger of being captured.
1443
01:17:44,180 --> 01:17:46,570
But I thought quickly,
took off and flung away
1444
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,290
the scarf that marked
my military rank.
1445
01:17:48,420 --> 01:17:51,150
And so being inconspicuous
escaped among my own force,
1446
01:17:51,410 --> 01:17:54,250
rallied them, returned,
and won the day.
1447
01:17:54,290 --> 01:17:55,500
What do you say to that?
1448
01:17:55,540 --> 01:17:58,550
Still, enough that is not likely
to resign the privilege of being a target.
1449
01:17:58,580 --> 01:18:01,690
How pleasant for you
that you are denied that privilege.
1450
01:18:01,730 --> 01:18:03,650
Pleasant?
Lend me your scarf.
1451
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:05,570
With your permission I shall
lead the first charge tonight
1452
01:18:05,610 --> 01:18:06,890
wearing it over my shoulder.
1453
01:18:06,930 --> 01:18:07,720
What bluster.
1454
01:18:07,750 --> 01:18:09,630
You're safe making that offer,
and you know it.
1455
01:18:09,670 --> 01:18:12,620
My scarf lies on the
river bank between the lines.
1456
01:18:12,650 --> 01:18:15,560
A spot swept by artillery.
Impossible to reach alive.
1457
01:18:15,700 --> 01:18:16,700
Yes.
1458
01:18:16,730 --> 01:18:20,500
(displays the Colonel's scarf)
1459
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:22,410
Here.
1460
01:18:22,580 --> 01:18:24,590
(laughter)
1461
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:26,500
Thank you.
1462
01:18:28,180 --> 01:18:31,000
This bit of white is
what I need to make a signal.
1463
01:18:31,820 --> 01:18:33,360
I was hesitating.
1464
01:18:33,940 --> 01:18:35,720
You have decided me.
1465
01:18:41,370 --> 01:18:43,010
- Stand or I'll fire!
- Hold you fire.
1466
01:18:43,050 --> 01:18:44,650
There's a man down
there running away.
1467
01:18:44,690 --> 01:18:46,700
Yes, a Spaniard.
1468
01:18:47,440 --> 01:18:50,310
But very useful as a spy
to both sides.
1469
01:18:51,270 --> 01:18:52,480
As I was about
to tell you.
1470
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,100
The Marshal has withdrawn
more than half our forces here.
1471
01:18:55,140 --> 01:18:57,190
Fortunately, the Spaniards
do not know that.
1472
01:18:57,230 --> 01:19:00,470
Oh, yes, they do now,
and they will attack tonight.
1473
01:19:00,510 --> 01:19:02,240
At this point.
1474
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:04,520
Your revenge, eh?
1475
01:19:04,550 --> 01:19:06,670
I make not great
pretense in loving you.
1476
01:19:06,770 --> 01:19:10,170
But since you gentlemen
esteem yourselves invincible,
1477
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,710
the bravest of the brave,
and all that.
1478
01:19:12,750 --> 01:19:14,120
Why need we be personal.
1479
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,710
The Marshal needs
a diversion, and I serve him
1480
01:19:16,740 --> 01:19:19,040
in choosing as I chose.
1481
01:19:19,210 --> 01:19:21,440
As you can see, Captain,
the great thing is to gain time.
1482
01:19:21,470 --> 01:19:23,070
To hold until the Marshal returns.
1483
01:19:23,180 --> 01:19:24,980
- And to gain time?
1484
01:19:25,490 --> 01:19:31,370
You will all be so kind
as to lay down your lives.
1485
01:19:39,610 --> 01:19:40,700
Christian?
1486
01:19:40,740 --> 01:19:41,400
Yes.
1487
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:46,130
Roxane?
1488
01:19:46,940 --> 01:19:49,260
I should like to say
farewell to her
1489
01:19:49,290 --> 01:19:51,580
with my whole
heart for her to keep.
1490
01:19:53,630 --> 01:19:55,610
I have taken the liberty of...
1491
01:19:58,580 --> 01:20:03,760
(the first letter
Christian is aware of)
1492
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:05,110
But, wait.
1493
01:20:07,270 --> 01:20:08,180
This little spot.
1494
01:20:08,620 --> 01:20:09,360
Spot?
1495
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:10,100
Yes.
1496
01:20:10,470 --> 01:20:11,550
A tear.
1497
01:20:13,500 --> 01:20:14,210
Is nothing.
1498
01:20:14,250 --> 01:20:16,860
A poet while he writes
is like a lover in his lady's arms,
1499
01:20:16,890 --> 01:20:19,060
believing his imagination,
everything seems real.
1500
01:20:19,090 --> 01:20:20,710
There's half the charm
of writing.
1501
01:20:21,230 --> 01:20:24,000
Now, I made this letter
so pathetic, that,
1502
01:20:24,030 --> 01:20:27,290
while I was writing it,
I wept.
1503
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:28,110
You wept?
1504
01:20:28,650 --> 01:20:31,590
Why, yes, because
it is a little thing to die,
1505
01:20:32,500 --> 01:20:36,710
but not to see her,...
that is terrible.
1506
01:20:37,700 --> 01:20:41,890
I shall never...,
you will never...
1507
01:20:42,480 --> 01:20:43,690
Give me that.
1508
01:20:45,190 --> 01:20:48,500
- Halt. Who goes there.
- On the service of the King.
1509
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:01,330
- The King!
- Fall in...
1510
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:11,620
Good evening.
1511
01:21:11,650 --> 01:21:13,540
On the King's service, you?
1512
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:25,850
- Gentlemen,...
- What are you doing here?
1513
01:21:25,890 --> 01:21:28,300
- We heard rumors at home
you were hungry,
1514
01:21:28,340 --> 01:21:29,810
- so we came prepared.
1515
01:21:29,850 --> 01:21:34,500
The Spaniards adored the fare,
but they missed the fowl!
1516
01:21:34,530 --> 01:21:37,560
(soldiers clamor for food)
1517
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:47,020
But why did you come here
into this, this danger?
1518
01:21:47,060 --> 01:21:49,420
They said in Paris
there was no fighting.
1519
01:21:50,450 --> 01:21:53,620
Besides, it was your own fault.
1520
01:22:01,410 --> 01:22:03,770
Think of the
letters you have written me.
1521
01:22:04,050 --> 01:22:06,510
How many times!
Every day!
1522
01:22:06,550 --> 01:22:07,680
Every day?
1523
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:08,820
Of course.
1524
01:22:08,980 --> 01:22:11,560
And each one
more wonderful than the last.
1525
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:14,820
All this, for a few absurd love letters.
1526
01:22:14,860 --> 01:22:18,050
Hush. Absurd?
Your letters...no, never.
1527
01:22:19,030 --> 01:22:22,730
Every one was like hearing your voice
that night in the dark. Remember?
1528
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:26,590
Like your arms around me.
I read them over and over.
1529
01:22:26,630 --> 01:22:30,420
Every page was like
a petal fallen from you soul.
1530
01:22:30,460 --> 01:22:33,350
Like the light
and the fire of a great love.
1531
01:22:33,390 --> 01:22:36,020
- Sweet and strong and true.
- Sweet.
1532
01:22:36,180 --> 01:22:37,280
Strong.
1533
01:22:37,590 --> 01:22:38,490
True?
1534
01:22:41,570 --> 01:22:43,090
Oh, my Christian.
1535
01:22:43,690 --> 01:22:46,420
I came here to ask forgiveness.
1536
01:22:47,660 --> 01:22:49,380
It is time to be forgiven.
1537
01:22:49,860 --> 01:22:51,950
Now, when we
may die so soon.
1538
01:22:53,780 --> 01:22:55,380
Forgive me for being
light and vain
1539
01:22:55,410 --> 01:22:57,570
and loving you only
because you were handsome.
1540
01:22:57,600 --> 01:22:59,230
- For now...
- Now?
1541
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:01,940
I love you for yourself.
1542
01:23:02,350 --> 01:23:04,090
For what you are.
1543
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:05,340
Roxane.
1544
01:23:05,910 --> 01:23:09,000
How you must have suffered.
For you saw how frivolous I was.
1545
01:23:09,030 --> 01:23:11,300
And to be loved
for the mere costume,
1546
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,090
for the poor, casual
body you went about in.
1547
01:23:14,750 --> 01:23:17,620
To a soul like yours,
that must have been torture.
1548
01:23:17,650 --> 01:23:18,390
No.
1549
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:23,140
I understand.
1550
01:23:23,790 --> 01:23:25,930
You cannot perfectly
believe in me,
1551
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:27,530
a...a love like this...
1552
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:29,090
I want no love like this.
1553
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,020
I want love only for...
1554
01:23:31,050 --> 01:23:33,090
Only for what every
woman sees in you.
1555
01:23:33,700 --> 01:23:35,030
I can to better than that.
1556
01:23:35,060 --> 01:23:37,240
No, it...it was best before.
1557
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,090
You do not
altogether know me.
1558
01:23:40,540 --> 01:23:42,260
I was a child.
1559
01:23:42,350 --> 01:23:43,650
I'm a woman now.
1560
01:23:44,250 --> 01:23:46,720
- If...if you were less handsome,
- No.
1561
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:50,130
unattractive, ugly even,
I should love you, still.
1562
01:23:50,770 --> 01:23:51,900
Do you mean that?
1563
01:23:52,510 --> 01:23:53,750
I do mean that.
1564
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:55,020
Ugly?
1565
01:23:55,100 --> 01:23:56,200
Even then.
1566
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:58,050
Now, are you happy?
1567
01:24:03,470 --> 01:24:04,650
Yes.
1568
01:24:04,690 --> 01:24:05,500
What is it?
1569
01:24:06,190 --> 01:24:08,690
Nothing, only, Cyrano...
1570
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:10,830
Cyrano.
1571
01:24:12,050 --> 01:24:14,090
he has something
to tell you.
1572
01:24:16,180 --> 01:24:17,200
Where are you going?
1573
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:20,690
I...will...return...in a moment.
1574
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:30,050
Cyrano.
1575
01:24:30,650 --> 01:24:32,480
Your wife, sir,
she goes with me?
1576
01:24:32,510 --> 01:24:33,340
No, sir, she remains.
1577
01:24:33,380 --> 01:24:34,670
There is still time
for her to escape.
1578
01:24:34,710 --> 01:24:35,640
She stays!
1579
01:24:36,030 --> 01:24:36,790
Very well.
1580
01:24:36,820 --> 01:24:38,950
Someone give me a musket.
I stay here also.
1581
01:24:39,420 --> 01:24:40,640
Sir, you show courage.
1582
01:24:40,670 --> 01:24:42,890
What, shall I run away,
and leave a woman?
1583
01:24:43,450 --> 01:24:45,320
Colonel, my compliments, sir.
1584
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:47,810
What of Roxane?
1585
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:48,470
Wait.
1586
01:24:49,350 --> 01:24:50,860
Well, what is it?
You look so...
1587
01:24:52,830 --> 01:24:54,580
She does not love me.
1588
01:24:54,990 --> 01:24:57,310
- You think not?
- She loves you.
1589
01:24:57,340 --> 01:24:59,630
- No.
- She loves only my soul.
1590
01:24:59,660 --> 01:25:00,370
- No.
- Yes!
1591
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:03,140
That means you.
And you love her.
1592
01:25:03,170 --> 01:25:05,300
- I?
- I see. I know.
1593
01:25:05,340 --> 01:25:08,310
You wrote her,
everyday, every day!
1594
01:25:08,820 --> 01:25:10,030
- Perfectly simple.
- Simple?
1595
01:25:10,060 --> 01:25:11,700
For a month,
we've been blockaded here.
1596
01:25:11,740 --> 01:25:13,340
How did you send
all those letters?
1597
01:25:13,370 --> 01:25:14,500
Before daylight
I managed...
1598
01:25:14,530 --> 01:25:16,070
To face death
everyday.
1599
01:25:16,820 --> 01:25:17,950
You love her.
1600
01:25:19,020 --> 01:25:20,190
Yes.
1601
01:25:26,950 --> 01:25:27,890
Tell her so.
1602
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:29,250
- No.
- Why not?
1603
01:25:29,350 --> 01:25:32,290
Why?
Look at me.
1604
01:25:32,590 --> 01:25:35,420
She would love me
if I were ugly.
1605
01:25:35,990 --> 01:25:38,820
- She said that?
- Yes. Now, go to her.
1606
01:25:40,090 --> 01:25:42,410
Nonsense. Do not
believe any such madness.
1607
01:25:42,440 --> 01:25:44,730
Go back to her.
You never will be ugly.
1608
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:45,810
Go!
It is you she loves.
1609
01:25:45,850 --> 01:25:46,870
That is what
we shall see.
1610
01:25:46,900 --> 01:25:47,840
No, no!
1611
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:49,480
- Let her chose between us.
- No.
1612
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:51,510
- Tell her everything.
- Why do you torture me?
1613
01:25:51,550 --> 01:25:54,700
Shall I ruin your happiness,
because I was born with a pretty face?
1614
01:25:54,740 --> 01:25:57,210
Am I to ruin yours,
because I happen to have power
1615
01:25:57,250 --> 01:25:58,750
to say what you perhaps feel?
1616
01:25:58,780 --> 01:26:00,910
- Tell her!
- Don't drive me too far!
1617
01:26:00,950 --> 01:26:03,210
- I'm tired of being my own rival.
- Hard to know.
1618
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:05,470
My secret marriage, that
can be annulled, I expect.
1619
01:26:05,500 --> 01:26:07,790
I want her love
for the poor fool than I am,
1620
01:26:07,860 --> 01:26:09,020
or not at all.
1621
01:26:09,390 --> 01:26:12,090
Oh, I'm going through with this.
I'll know one way or the other.
1622
01:26:12,870 --> 01:26:15,280
Now, go!....Tell her.
1623
01:26:15,480 --> 01:26:16,790
Let her chose one of us.
1624
01:26:17,570 --> 01:26:18,780
It will be you.
1625
01:26:19,670 --> 01:26:21,330
I hope so.
1626
01:26:33,070 --> 01:26:33,820
- Captain!
1627
01:26:36,570 --> 01:26:38,100
The Spanish fires are going out.
1628
01:26:41,030 --> 01:26:42,160
It begins.
1629
01:26:42,220 --> 01:26:44,140
I need a scout. Where's Cyrano.
1630
01:26:44,490 --> 01:26:45,280
Captain.
1631
01:26:45,850 --> 01:26:46,740
Let me go.
1632
01:26:46,780 --> 01:26:49,490
No, my boy, Cyrano knows
the terrain. He knows their lines.
1633
01:26:49,530 --> 01:26:51,550
So do I.
Please, allow me.
1634
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:56,070
Very well.
We must know from which
1635
01:26:56,110 --> 01:26:58,810
direction the advance comes.
Their weight and numbers.
1636
01:26:58,840 --> 01:26:59,560
I understand.
1637
01:27:11,940 --> 01:27:12,780
Roxane.
1638
01:27:13,430 --> 01:27:14,450
Cyrano.
1639
01:27:14,480 --> 01:27:15,930
Christian thinks...
1640
01:27:17,470 --> 01:27:19,190
Christian thinks you
ought to know that...
1641
01:27:19,220 --> 01:27:20,240
But I do know.
1642
01:27:20,770 --> 01:27:22,850
He still doubts what I
just told him, just now.
1643
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:23,860
I saw that.
1644
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:27,560
Yes, but,...was it true,
what you told him just now?
1645
01:27:27,590 --> 01:27:28,900
It was true.
1646
01:27:28,990 --> 01:27:32,270
I said that I should love him,
even if he were....
1647
01:27:33,020 --> 01:27:34,580
The word comes
hard before me?
1648
01:27:37,420 --> 01:27:38,860
Say it, I shall
not be hurt.
1649
01:27:39,370 --> 01:27:40,620
Ugly?
1650
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:42,130
Even, then
I should love him.
1651
01:27:43,500 --> 01:27:44,690
Disfigured.
1652
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:45,870
Or disfigured.
1653
01:27:46,480 --> 01:27:49,620
Even....grotesque.
1654
01:27:49,650 --> 01:27:51,350
How could he
every be grotesque,
1655
01:27:51,810 --> 01:27:52,950
ever to me?
1656
01:27:52,990 --> 01:27:55,580
But, you could love him so,
as much as?
1657
01:27:55,610 --> 01:27:56,790
Yes, and more.
1658
01:27:57,320 --> 01:27:58,320
Roxane...
1659
01:27:58,350 --> 01:27:59,300
(gunshot)
1660
01:27:59,340 --> 01:28:00,260
What is it?
1661
01:28:01,550 --> 01:28:02,600
Are they fighting?
1662
01:28:05,250 --> 01:28:06,510
What is happening?
1663
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:08,010
- The Spaniards advance,
1664
01:28:08,940 --> 01:28:09,930
but there is time.
1665
01:28:10,480 --> 01:28:12,370
- Where is Christian?
- At the parapet.
1666
01:28:12,820 --> 01:28:13,890
Oh, of course.
1667
01:28:14,930 --> 01:28:16,750
What is it
that you wish to tell me?
1668
01:28:16,780 --> 01:28:18,140
Roxane,...
1669
01:28:18,810 --> 01:28:21,690
believe me this is difficult,
and for once I lack words.
1670
01:28:24,690 --> 01:28:26,330
Christian asked me to...
1671
01:28:26,440 --> 01:28:27,850
He told me...
1672
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:38,220
Christian!
1673
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:42,970
To your places, gentlemen.
1674
01:28:43,970 --> 01:28:45,130
Is he dead?
1675
01:28:45,170 --> 01:28:46,260
No, but dying.
1676
01:28:46,300 --> 01:28:47,660
I will not let him!
1677
01:28:51,870 --> 01:28:54,530
Cyrano...did you?
1678
01:28:54,570 --> 01:28:56,610
Yes, my friend.
I have told her.
1679
01:28:58,350 --> 01:28:59,450
She loves you.
1680
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:02,190
Roxane.
1681
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:03,570
Yes, my darling.
1682
01:29:06,020 --> 01:29:07,320
Christian!
1683
01:29:08,170 --> 01:29:09,370
He is not dead?
1684
01:29:10,930 --> 01:29:11,830
Yes.
1685
01:29:12,310 --> 01:29:13,640
(gasp)
1686
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:22,890
Time you must go, now.
1687
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:25,860
Really, he is dead.
1688
01:29:25,890 --> 01:29:27,740
No one else
knew him but you.
1689
01:29:28,250 --> 01:29:29,630
Was he not a hero?
1690
01:29:29,670 --> 01:29:30,700
Yes, Roxane.
1691
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:33,340
A heart deeper
than we knew.
1692
01:29:33,380 --> 01:29:34,930
Yes, Roxane.
1693
01:29:35,010 --> 01:29:39,310
A poet.
A soul magnificently tender.
1694
01:29:41,750 --> 01:29:43,660
Yes, Roxane.
1695
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:46,740
But he is dead now.
1696
01:29:48,390 --> 01:29:50,030
(collapses sobbing)
1697
01:29:50,070 --> 01:29:51,230
Why, so am I.
1698
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:55,060
For I am dead
and my love mourns for me
1699
01:29:55,100 --> 01:29:56,550
and does not know.
1700
01:29:58,190 --> 01:29:59,530
Will never know.
1701
01:29:59,570 --> 01:30:00,990
(rapid gunfire)
1702
01:30:01,030 --> 01:30:02,410
(bugle calls)
1703
01:30:03,030 --> 01:30:04,030
Take her away quickly.
1704
01:30:05,670 --> 01:30:06,500
Wait.
1705
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:09,220
A letter over his heart.
1706
01:30:11,490 --> 01:30:12,850
(sobbing)
1707
01:30:16,740 --> 01:30:18,460
I have two deaths
to avenge, now,
1708
01:30:19,090 --> 01:30:22,670
Christian's...and my own.
1709
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:42,210
(fighting becomes intense)
1710
01:30:43,330 --> 01:30:46,820
(the Spanish army advances)
1711
01:30:49,450 --> 01:30:50,280
Fire!
1712
01:31:00,270 --> 01:31:02,810
Surrender or you die!
1713
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:51,720
(de Guiche)
Look! The signal!
1714
01:32:59,940 --> 01:33:00,940
Ah!
1715
01:33:07,070 --> 01:33:09,610
We fought. We died.
We fought again.
1716
01:33:09,750 --> 01:33:12,760
Who are these men who are
so fond of death, one Spaniard cried.
1717
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:14,440
On and on, they came.
1718
01:33:14,570 --> 01:33:17,210
Then, when all seemed lost,
we heard the trumpets
1719
01:33:17,250 --> 01:33:19,850
of our returning troops.
The battle was ours!
1720
01:33:20,690 --> 01:33:24,050
Ah, you have been fortunate,
Ms. de Bergerac, you have lived!
1721
01:33:24,090 --> 01:33:28,870
While we, we waste our youth.
There is no war and not hope for any.
1722
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:30,880
No hope for any?
1723
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:34,220
My fellow, I just realize,
we are both fools.
1724
01:33:34,630 --> 01:33:37,550
But mine is the greater folly,
for I am an older fool.
1725
01:33:38,170 --> 01:33:42,320
What is more......
Everything I told you was a lie.
1726
01:33:47,550 --> 01:33:49,680
Another satire
for the Gazette?
1727
01:33:49,710 --> 01:33:50,410
Yes.
1728
01:33:50,820 --> 01:33:53,480
Another glove flung
in the face of power?
1729
01:33:53,650 --> 01:33:55,400
Oh, why do you
do it, Cyrano?
1730
01:33:55,430 --> 01:33:57,860
- Why do you attack...
- Stupidity?
1731
01:33:57,880 --> 01:34:01,180
Deceit? Corruption?
I'm too old to change.
1732
01:34:01,370 --> 01:34:03,980
I'm an old dog
with nothing left but his teeth.
1733
01:34:04,010 --> 01:34:06,580
Ah, but teeth can be pulled.
That can be painful.
1734
01:34:10,440 --> 01:34:14,580
That insolent wretch.
That scoundrel de Bergerac.
1735
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:17,180
This time he's gone too far.
I swear it.
1736
01:34:17,210 --> 01:34:18,790
He's signed his death warrant.
1737
01:34:19,950 --> 01:34:21,730
And who will deliver it?
1738
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:25,040
His sword is still very
powerful, my friend.
1739
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:27,230
There are may ways
a man can die.
1740
01:34:27,990 --> 01:34:29,550
Who knows?
1741
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:31,430
He may meet
with an accident.
1742
01:34:32,550 --> 01:34:33,570
Soon.
1743
01:34:35,100 --> 01:34:38,710
(church chimes)
1744
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:46,060
But, uh, tell me, Madame.
1745
01:34:46,180 --> 01:34:50,830
How long will you continue
to remain here, forever in mourning?
1746
01:34:51,670 --> 01:34:52,570
Forever.
1747
01:34:53,060 --> 01:34:55,080
Was Christian all that?
1748
01:34:55,770 --> 01:34:57,400
If you knew him
you would not ask.
1749
01:34:57,950 --> 01:35:00,150
His last letter
is still in my heart.
1750
01:35:00,820 --> 01:35:04,770
And, uh, Cyrano?
Do you see him often?
1751
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:09,240
Every week. My old friend
takes the place of my Gazette.
1752
01:35:09,620 --> 01:35:11,320
He brings me all the news.
1753
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:14,940
Every Saturday under
that tree out there.
1754
01:35:14,980 --> 01:35:17,070
I wait for him embroidering.
1755
01:35:17,430 --> 01:35:20,240
The hour strikes.
I need not turn to look.
1756
01:35:20,570 --> 01:35:24,070
At the last stroke,
I hear his cane tapping the walk.
1757
01:35:24,100 --> 01:35:26,430
His satires have made
him many enemies.
1758
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:29,740
But, they still fear
that sword of his.
1759
01:35:30,330 --> 01:35:32,130
No one dare touch him.
1760
01:35:32,510 --> 01:35:33,670
Hm, that may be so.
1761
01:35:35,620 --> 01:35:38,160
It is not violence
I fear for him,
1762
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:42,560
but solitude, poverty.
Old gray Decembers
1763
01:35:42,590 --> 01:35:45,350
stealing on wolf's feet
into his darkened room.
1764
01:35:46,010 --> 01:35:48,230
It seems to me he's
worn the same old coat
1765
01:35:48,260 --> 01:35:49,610
for many months, now.
1766
01:35:49,650 --> 01:35:51,740
Eh, that is nothing
strange in this world.
1767
01:35:51,780 --> 01:35:53,820
You need not pity
him overmuch.
1768
01:35:53,860 --> 01:35:56,930
He lives his life,
his own life his own way,
1769
01:35:56,970 --> 01:36:00,300
thought, word and deed free.
1770
01:36:00,450 --> 01:36:01,610
My Lord Duke.
1771
01:36:01,750 --> 01:36:05,860
Oh, yes, I know.
I have all. He has nothing.
1772
01:36:06,370 --> 01:36:12,170
Nevertheless, today,
I should be proud to shake his hand.
1773
01:36:12,350 --> 01:36:14,000
Ah, well, adieu.
1774
01:36:14,670 --> 01:36:16,300
Will I ever see you again?
1775
01:36:16,340 --> 01:36:17,970
Come whenever you like.
1776
01:36:18,010 --> 01:36:19,610
Then, you have forgiven me.
1777
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:21,680
I am here.
1778
01:36:22,950 --> 01:36:25,380
Do you know?
When a man wins
1779
01:36:25,420 --> 01:36:29,750
everything in this world,
when he succeeds too much,
1780
01:36:29,790 --> 01:36:34,190
he feels, somehow,
a thousand small displeasures
1781
01:36:34,230 --> 01:36:38,560
with himself, whose whole sum
is not quite remorse
1782
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:45,570
but rather a sort of vague
disgust, dry illusions, pained regrets.
1783
01:36:45,870 --> 01:36:48,730
Yes, now and then,
I envy your Cyrano.
1784
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:50,860
The sentiment
does you honor.
1785
01:36:50,890 --> 01:36:52,250
(chuckling)
1786
01:36:59,350 --> 01:37:04,280
Madame, I must tell you,
it is true that no one has yet
1787
01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:06,490
dared to attack
your friend Cyrano.
1788
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:11,380
Nevertheless, at the theater
last night, I heard some things.
1789
01:37:12,260 --> 01:37:13,720
Keep him at home all you can.
1790
01:37:14,090 --> 01:37:17,330
Tomorrow when you see him,
tell him to be careful.
1791
01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:19,130
I thank you.
1792
01:37:32,050 --> 01:37:33,140
(Cyrano)
Good night, Ragueneau.
1793
01:37:33,180 --> 01:37:35,120
(Ragueneau)
Cyrano, you not leaving?
1794
01:37:35,150 --> 01:37:37,030
You will not have
dinner here with me?
1795
01:37:37,060 --> 01:37:38,860
(Cyrano)
My regrets. I have a magnificent
1796
01:37:38,900 --> 01:37:42,450
roast waiting for me, a rare wine,
a gift from my publisher.
1797
01:37:42,490 --> 01:37:43,890
(Ragueneau)
Fine, to be sure.
1798
01:37:44,650 --> 01:37:47,490
Uh, have you seen
Moliere's new play?
1799
01:37:47,530 --> 01:37:48,160
No.
1800
01:37:48,340 --> 01:37:49,650
Heh, ah, well....
1801
01:37:49,690 --> 01:37:50,580
What is it?
1802
01:37:50,610 --> 01:37:51,460
Well, he...
1803
01:37:51,500 --> 01:37:52,250
Speak.
1804
01:37:52,290 --> 01:37:55,220
He stole a scene
from you, word for word.
1805
01:37:55,250 --> 01:37:57,140
You know, "What the devil
was he doing there?"
1806
01:37:57,170 --> 01:37:57,730
That one.
1807
01:37:57,770 --> 01:37:59,040
He stole it, bodily.
1808
01:37:59,070 --> 01:38:01,300
Well, he showed
good taste.
1809
01:38:01,340 --> 01:38:03,020
It, uh, played well?
1810
01:38:03,060 --> 01:38:05,450
Oh, beautifully. They
laughed and laughed.
1811
01:38:05,480 --> 01:38:06,810
Oh, how they laughed.
1812
01:38:07,250 --> 01:38:08,560
Moliere has genius.
1813
01:38:09,370 --> 01:38:11,010
Christian had good looks.
1814
01:38:12,170 --> 01:38:13,610
With me, it was
always thus.
1815
01:38:16,050 --> 01:38:17,240
Good night, my friend.
1816
01:38:32,340 --> 01:38:32,950
(man)
Hold, there.
1817
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:33,950
(man)
You!
1818
01:38:35,650 --> 01:38:36,850
(Cyrano)
Are you addressing me?
1819
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:38,990
Yes, you, Monsieur
of the long nose.
1820
01:38:39,100 --> 01:38:40,000
Insolence.
1821
01:38:40,290 --> 01:38:41,990
- Foulmouthed scribbler.
- What?
1822
01:38:42,020 --> 01:38:43,440
- Lair, plagiarist!
- Liar.
1823
01:38:47,910 --> 01:38:49,660
(whistling to wagon)
1824
01:39:08,630 --> 01:39:10,920
(driver whips horses)
1825
01:39:27,570 --> 01:39:28,490
Doctor.
1826
01:39:29,930 --> 01:39:31,260
Why pretend?
1827
01:39:31,550 --> 01:39:32,910
It is very grave.
1828
01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:35,500
Keep him quiet
at all costs.
1829
01:39:35,540 --> 01:39:38,500
If he attempts
to rise, he will die.
1830
01:39:38,540 --> 01:39:39,810
Shhhh.
1831
01:39:43,220 --> 01:39:43,930
Thank you.
1832
01:39:44,980 --> 01:39:47,240
(door closes)
1833
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:55,820
(gate bell rings)
1834
01:39:59,820 --> 01:40:01,490
(gate opens)
1835
01:40:01,530 --> 01:40:03,170
Monsieur.
1836
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:03,860
Ah, Sister.
1837
01:40:09,810 --> 01:40:10,880
(gasp)
1838
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:12,350
What is the matter
with you?
1839
01:40:14,480 --> 01:40:15,900
Shall I tell you
something, Sister?
1840
01:40:16,540 --> 01:40:20,470
Yesterday, Friday, mind you,
I ate meat again.
1841
01:40:21,930 --> 01:40:23,000
Yes, I know.
1842
01:40:23,350 --> 01:40:25,080
That is why you
are so pale.
1843
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:27,930
Please come to me
to the refectory before you go.
1844
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,250
I'll make you a great
bowl of hot soup.
1845
01:40:30,280 --> 01:40:31,630
Of course, of course.
1846
01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:33,950
You're quite reasonable today.
1847
01:40:33,990 --> 01:40:36,120
Perhaps you'll convert me.
1848
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:38,260
Oh, no! Not for the world.
1849
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:40,690
Why, now I think of it,
that is so.
1850
01:40:41,070 --> 01:40:44,560
You, bursting with holiness,
and yet you never preach.
1851
01:40:45,470 --> 01:40:46,760
Astonishing.
1852
01:40:47,060 --> 01:40:49,100
And now I shall astonish you.
1853
01:40:49,690 --> 01:40:54,110
I'm going to let you
pray for me tonight, at Vespers.
1854
01:40:55,830 --> 01:40:58,700
Absolutely struck dumb, eh?
1855
01:41:02,550 --> 01:41:05,180
I did not wait for you
to say I might.
1856
01:41:14,930 --> 01:41:17,450
Now may the devil admire
me if never hope to see
1857
01:41:17,490 --> 01:41:19,570
the end of that embroidery.
1858
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:23,440
After 14 years,
late for the first time.
1859
01:41:23,480 --> 01:41:26,550
Yes.
Yes, maddening.
1860
01:41:27,330 --> 01:41:31,480
I was detained by
a visitor. Most unexpected.
1861
01:41:32,150 --> 01:41:33,660
An old friend of mine.
1862
01:41:34,540 --> 01:41:36,830
At least a very
old acquaintance.
1863
01:41:36,870 --> 01:41:38,320
Did you tell him
to go away?
1864
01:41:38,980 --> 01:41:40,410
For the time being, yes.
1865
01:41:40,440 --> 01:41:45,270
I said excuse me,
I see that it's Saturday,
1866
01:41:45,620 --> 01:41:48,200
I have a previous
engagement.
1867
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:49,620
One I cannot miss.
1868
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:52,340
Even for you.
1869
01:41:53,250 --> 01:41:55,310
Come back an hour from now.
1870
01:41:55,420 --> 01:41:59,170
Your friend will have to wait.
I shall not let you go till dark.
1871
01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:04,970
Perhaps a little before dark,
I must go.
1872
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:09,080
Oh, then tell me now
the court news. My Gazette.
1873
01:42:10,390 --> 01:42:14,190
Ah, yes, well, let me see.
1874
01:42:16,350 --> 01:42:20,840
Saturday, 19th, the King
fell ill after eight helpings of
1875
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:22,170
grape marmalade.
1876
01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:26,320
Grape marmalade will
no longer be served at court.
1877
01:42:28,190 --> 01:42:33,010
Sunday, the royal pulse
is now normal.
1878
01:42:34,630 --> 01:42:37,930
Monday, everyone was
talking about the success
1879
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:39,600
of Moliere's new play.
1880
01:42:40,830 --> 01:42:46,110
Tuesday, the King fell ill
after six helpings of marone glacee.
1881
01:42:47,910 --> 01:42:50,130
Marone glacee will no
longer be served at court.
1882
01:42:51,710 --> 01:42:55,700
Wednesday, the Compte de Firske
spoke to Madame de Monte Glas.
1883
01:42:56,500 --> 01:42:59,380
She said....no.
1884
01:43:01,480 --> 01:43:07,450
Thursday.... Nothing.
1885
01:43:07,490 --> 01:43:10,580
Friday, Madame de Monte Glas
said yes.
1886
01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:18,800
Saturday, 25th....
1887
01:43:19,450 --> 01:43:20,520
Cyrano!
1888
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:24,010
What is it?
Cyrano!
1889
01:43:28,660 --> 01:43:31,300
- Oh, no, no, it is nothing.
- What?
1890
01:43:31,750 --> 01:43:34,200
The old wound at Arras
sometimes...
1891
01:43:34,230 --> 01:43:36,980
- My poor friend.
- No, no, no, it is nothing.
1892
01:43:37,830 --> 01:43:39,350
It will soon be gone.
1893
01:43:41,010 --> 01:43:44,990
(gasp) There. 'Tis gone.
1894
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:48,480
We all have
our old wounds.
1895
01:43:49,020 --> 01:43:53,920
I have mine here,
under this faded scrap of writing.
1896
01:43:55,380 --> 01:43:57,340
It's hard to read now.
1897
01:43:58,370 --> 01:44:01,340
All for the blots
and tears.
1898
01:44:01,370 --> 01:44:02,560
His letter?
1899
01:44:03,480 --> 01:44:06,650
Did you not promise me,
that someday you would let me read it?
1900
01:44:07,090 --> 01:44:12,350
- This letter? You wish...?
- I do wish it....today.
1901
01:44:22,650 --> 01:44:24,230
Open it and read.
1902
01:44:49,700 --> 01:44:54,660
"Farewell, Roxane,
because today I die."
1903
01:44:54,690 --> 01:44:56,000
Aloud?
1904
01:44:57,180 --> 01:45:00,150
"I know that it will be today,
my own dearly beloved.
1905
01:45:01,630 --> 01:45:04,900
"Yet, my heart still so heavy
with love I have not told.
1906
01:45:06,440 --> 01:45:11,330
"And I shall die without telling you.
1907
01:45:11,900 --> 01:45:15,740
"No more shall my eyes
drink the sight of you like wine,
1908
01:45:16,230 --> 01:45:19,180
"never more with a look
that is a kiss,
1909
01:45:19,740 --> 01:45:22,430
"follow the sweet
grace of you."
1910
01:45:22,470 --> 01:45:24,400
How you read it.
His letter.
1911
01:45:24,440 --> 01:45:26,300
"I remember now the way you have
1912
01:45:26,340 --> 01:45:30,280
"of pushing back a lock of hair
with one hand from your forehead,
1913
01:45:30,860 --> 01:45:33,270
- "and my heart cries out..."
- His letter!
1914
01:45:33,310 --> 01:45:35,000
- "cries out and keeps crying."
1915
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:38,240
- You read it so...
- "Farewell, my dear, my dearest,"
1916
01:45:38,270 --> 01:45:40,650
- In a voice...
- "my own heart's own,"
1917
01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:44,230
- "my own treasure,"
- In such a voice!
- "my...love."
1918
01:45:44,260 --> 01:45:47,140
Yes, I remember hearing long ago.
1919
01:45:47,490 --> 01:45:52,210
"I am never away from you.
Even now I shall not leave you.
1920
01:45:53,110 --> 01:45:56,360
"In another world, I shall
still be that one who loves you,
1921
01:45:56,390 --> 01:46:00,110
"loves you beyond measure,
beyond..."
1922
01:46:09,180 --> 01:46:11,130
But, how can you read it now?
1923
01:46:14,420 --> 01:46:17,810
And all those 14 years
he has been the old friend
1924
01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:19,650
who came to me to be amusing.
1925
01:46:20,930 --> 01:46:23,170
- Roxane.
- It was you.
1926
01:46:23,910 --> 01:46:24,880
No, no, Roxane, no.
1927
01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:28,100
And I might have know it every time
that I heard you speak my name.
1928
01:46:28,130 --> 01:46:31,690
- No, it was not I.
- It was you!
- I swear.
1929
01:46:32,460 --> 01:46:34,810
- The letters. That was you.
- No.
1930
01:46:35,140 --> 01:46:38,960
- And the dear foolish words.
That was you.
- No.
1931
01:46:39,190 --> 01:46:43,290
- And the voice in the dark.
That was you.
- On my honor!
1932
01:46:43,330 --> 01:46:47,170
And the soul.
It was all you.
1933
01:46:47,270 --> 01:46:49,180
I never loved you.
1934
01:46:49,350 --> 01:46:50,850
Yes, you loved me.
1935
01:46:50,970 --> 01:46:52,740
Even now you love me.
1936
01:46:53,660 --> 01:46:55,610
(gasp)
No!
1937
01:46:55,650 --> 01:46:57,920
And twice you're great to know.
1938
01:46:57,950 --> 01:47:00,760
Oh, no, no, my own dear love,
I love you not.
1939
01:47:03,340 --> 01:47:05,840
Why were you silent
for so many years?
1940
01:47:06,580 --> 01:47:07,860
All the while.
1941
01:47:08,090 --> 01:47:11,110
Every night, and every day,
he gave me nothing.
1942
01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:13,120
You knew that.
1943
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:16,680
You knew in that letter
lying on my breast.
1944
01:47:17,940 --> 01:47:19,230
Your tears.
1945
01:47:20,580 --> 01:47:22,770
You knew they
were your tears.
1946
01:47:26,390 --> 01:47:28,270
The blood was his.
1947
01:47:29,370 --> 01:47:30,200
Cyrano!
1948
01:47:32,690 --> 01:47:34,320
Here! He's here.
1949
01:47:34,490 --> 01:47:36,270
Oh, what recklessness.
1950
01:47:36,310 --> 01:47:36,570
No.
1951
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:37,430
I knew it!
1952
01:47:37,490 --> 01:47:40,440
- Oh Madame he has killed
himself coming here.
- No. Shh.
1953
01:47:40,700 --> 01:47:42,220
That drink is, what is it?
1954
01:47:42,290 --> 01:47:45,510
Nothing. I did not
finish my Gazette.
1955
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:49,970
Saturday, 26th, an hour
or so before dinner
1956
01:47:50,540 --> 01:47:55,340
Ms. de Bergerac died,
foully murdered.
1957
01:47:55,690 --> 01:47:57,470
Cyrano, what have
they done to you?
1958
01:47:57,600 --> 01:47:59,540
How fate loves a jest.
1959
01:47:59,980 --> 01:48:03,000
Behold me ambushed,
taken unawares.
1960
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:08,830
My noble foe, a lackey.
My battlefield, a gutter.
1961
01:48:09,490 --> 01:48:10,950
It seems too logical.
1962
01:48:11,370 --> 01:48:13,040
They have missed everything,
1963
01:48:13,820 --> 01:48:15,290
even my death.
1964
01:48:16,330 --> 01:48:17,950
Sisters! Sisters!
1965
01:48:17,990 --> 01:48:21,350
No, do not go away.
I may not be here when you return.
1966
01:48:22,030 --> 01:48:23,760
You shall not die.
1967
01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:25,460
(sobbing)
I love you.
1968
01:48:25,490 --> 01:48:27,410
No, my lady,
it's not in the story.
1969
01:48:28,100 --> 01:48:29,900
When beauty said
I love you to the beast
1970
01:48:29,930 --> 01:48:32,990
all his ugliness changed
and dissolved, like magic.
1971
01:48:33,550 --> 01:48:37,370
But, you see,
I am still the same.
1972
01:48:37,440 --> 01:48:39,430
And I have
done this to you.
1973
01:48:39,470 --> 01:48:40,620
You? Why no.
1974
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:42,060
All my fault, mine!
1975
01:48:42,100 --> 01:48:43,320
On the contrary.
1976
01:48:44,060 --> 01:48:47,080
I have never know womanhood
in its sweetness, but for you.
1977
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:50,750
My mother did not
like to look at me.
1978
01:48:52,050 --> 01:48:53,530
I never had a sister.
1979
01:48:54,880 --> 01:49:01,130
Later, I feared those sweethearts
with mockery behind her smile.
1980
01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:06,150
But, because of you,
I have had across my life
1981
01:49:06,930 --> 01:49:10,600
one whispering, silken gown.
1982
01:49:12,780 --> 01:49:15,200
I never loved but
one man in my life.
1983
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:18,680
I have lost him, twice.
1984
01:49:19,660 --> 01:49:23,540
(sobbing)
1985
01:49:23,570 --> 01:49:27,890
I would not have you mourning
any less that good, noble Christian.
1986
01:49:28,980 --> 01:49:32,570
But, perhaps, I ask only this,
1987
01:49:34,100 --> 01:49:36,370
when the great cold
gathers around my bones,
1988
01:49:37,770 --> 01:49:42,590
you may give a double
meaning to your widow's weeds.
1989
01:49:43,910 --> 01:49:50,900
The tears you let fall for him,
may for a little, be my tears.
1990
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:53,040
Oh, my love!
1991
01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:58,400
No, not here.
Not lying down.
1992
01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:01,300
Let no one help me.
No one need help me.
1993
01:50:06,310 --> 01:50:07,430
It is coming.
1994
01:50:08,260 --> 01:50:11,460
I feel already shod with marble.
1995
01:50:12,720 --> 01:50:13,950
Gloved with lead.
1996
01:50:14,730 --> 01:50:16,700
Very well,
let the old fellow come now.
1997
01:50:17,190 --> 01:50:19,600
He shall find me
on my feet.
1998
01:50:21,670 --> 01:50:23,120
Sword in hand.
1999
01:50:23,160 --> 01:50:24,110
Cyrano!
2000
01:50:24,500 --> 01:50:25,890
He'd delirious.
2001
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:28,000
I see him now.
2002
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:28,700
He grins.
2003
01:50:28,740 --> 01:50:30,750
He is looking at my nose!
2004
01:50:30,790 --> 01:50:31,820
That skeleton.
2005
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:33,730
You there.
2006
01:50:33,970 --> 01:50:34,670
Who are you?
2007
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:36,950
A hundred against one, eh?
2008
01:50:37,300 --> 01:50:40,020
I know them now,
my ancient enemies.
2009
01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:40,960
Falsehood, there!
2010
01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:42,470
There, Prejudice!
2011
01:50:42,490 --> 01:50:44,100
Compromise, Cowardice.
2012
01:50:44,580 --> 01:50:47,160
What's that?
Surrender? No, never!
2013
01:50:47,190 --> 01:50:48,430
Never!
2014
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:50,820
Ah, you too, Vanity.
2015
01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:54,180
I knew you would
overthrow me in the end.
2016
01:50:54,210 --> 01:50:57,310
No, I fight, I fight on,
I fight....ow!
2017
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:01,000
(gasping)
2018
01:51:06,540 --> 01:51:08,550
All my laurels
you have riven away.
2019
01:51:10,290 --> 01:51:11,770
And my roses.
2020
01:51:12,940 --> 01:51:15,600
Yet, in spite of you,
there is one crown
2021
01:51:15,630 --> 01:51:16,980
I made away with me.
2022
01:51:17,020 --> 01:51:20,380
And tonight when I
enter before God,
2023
01:51:21,850 --> 01:51:27,140
my salute shall sweep away
the stars from the blue threshold.
2024
01:51:28,310 --> 01:51:33,240
One thing without stain,
unspotted from the world,
2025
01:51:34,240 --> 01:51:40,610
in spite of doom, mine own,
...and that is...
2026
01:51:43,220 --> 01:51:51,220
my...white...plume...

In seventeenth-century Paris, poet and supreme swordsman Cyrano de Bergerac (José Ferrer) stops a play from being shown because he ostensibly cannot stand the bombastic style of the principal actor, Montfleury (Arthur Blake). An annoyed aristocratic fop, the Vicomte de Valvert (Albert Cavens), provokes him into a duel by tritely insulting Cyrano's enormous nose. Cyrano first mocks his lack of wit, improvising numerous inventive ways in which Valvert could have phrased it (much to the amusement of the audience). He then composes a ballade for the occasion on the spot and recites it during the sword fight. With the last line, he stabs his opponent.
Cyrano's friend Le Bret (Morris Carnovsky), Captain of the Gascony Guards, warns him he has made powerful enemies of his victim's friends, but he is unconcerned. When Le Bret presses him to reveal the real reason he hates Montfleury, Cyrano admits that he became jealous when he saw the actor smiling at his beautiful cousin Roxane (Mala Powers). He confesses that he is in love with her, but harbors no hope of it being returned because of his nose. When he receives a request from Roxane to see her in the morning, he is finally emboldened to act.
Then pastry chef and fellow poet Ragueneau (Lloyd Corrigan) approaches him for help. Ragueneau has learned that a nobleman he had mocked with his verses, the Comte De Guiche (Ralph Clanton), has hired a hundred ruffians to teach him a lesson. Cyrano escorts him, kills eight of the horde, and drives off the rest.
The next day, before he can tell Roxane of his feelings, she informs him that she has fallen in love with a handsome guardsman, Christian de Neuvillette (William Prince), though she has not even spoken to him. Cyrano hides his devastation and agrees to help her.
Cyrano befriends the young man, who is in Cyrano's guards' unit, and discovers that he is infatuated with Roxane, but is too inept with words to woo her. To help him, Cyrano composes Christian's love letters to Roxane, which she finds irresistible. Later, Christian decides he wants no more help and tries to speak to Roxane face to face, but fails miserably and she re-enters her house in an angry huff. Cyrano, hiding in the bushes, comes to his rescue, but this time by imitating Christian's voice and speaking to Roxane from under her balcony. He is so eloquent that he (unintentionally) wins a kiss for Christian from Roxane.
When the arrogant Comte De Guiche, who is also wooing Roxane, pressures her to marry him, Cyrano delays him long enough for her to wed Christian instead. Furious, De Guiche, Christian's commander, orders him to join his unit immediately for a war against the Spanish, preventing the couple from spending their wedding night together.
With Cyrano under his command as well, De Guiche earns the swordsman's respect by his conduct in the war. From the field, Cyrano sends Roxane letters every day, supposedly written by Christian. Roxane visits her husband in camp and tells him that she now has fallen in love with him not merely for his looks but because of his words, and would love him even if he were ugly. Realizing that she really loves Cyrano, Christian gets his rival to agree to tell Roxane the truth and let her decide between them. But before the opportunity arises, Christian volunteers for a dangerous mission and is fatally wounded, silencing Cyrano.
Roxane enters a convent in mourning. Years pass, with Cyrano visiting Roxane weekly, having retired from the military and writing satirical articles mocking the nobility. De Guiche, who has also befriended her and has come to respect Cyrano, has overheard a courtier plotting against Cyrano. De Guiche warns Roxane that Cyrano's life may be in danger. One night, Cyrano is lured into an ambush; the poet is run down by a carriage. Near death, he hides his injuries and goes to keep his appointment with Roxane for the last time. His secret love for Roxane is finally revealed when he recites from memory the last of his love letters, which she has kept, but it is too late. Cyrano first slips into delirium, then dies, leaving Roxane to mourn a second time.

00:01:58,150 --> 00:02:01,030
(applause)
2
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,210
(applause continues)
3
00:02:26,210 --> 00:02:29,890
<i>Thrice happy he who hides
from pomp and power</i>
4
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:33,590
<i>in sylvan shade
or solitary bower</i>
5
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,630
<i>where balmy zephyrs
fan his burning cheeks...</i>
6
00:02:37,660 --> 00:02:41,460
- Clown! The king of clowns!
Leave the stage at once!
7
00:02:43,970 --> 00:02:44,620
- Who is it?
8
00:02:44,650 --> 00:02:47,570
It's Cyrano.
I was afraid he'd do this.
9
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,250
<i>Thrice happy he
who hides from pomp and power...</i>
10
00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:54,910
- Wretch! Did I not forbid
you to appear this month?
11
00:02:57,940 --> 00:02:59,260
- Let's be quiet.
- Quiet!
12
00:03:00,190 --> 00:03:01,380
- Go on Montfleury.
13
00:03:04,270 --> 00:03:06,400
<i>Thrice happy he who...</i>
14
00:03:06,430 --> 00:03:07,630
- He who, indeed.
15
00:03:07,660 --> 00:03:10,730
- Donkeys say rather Hee-Haw!
16
00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:17,790
Begone! Or must I come and
help you off the stage myself?
17
00:03:21,130 --> 00:03:24,000
What! Still there?
18
00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:28,220
<i>Where balmy zephyrs
fan his burning cheeks... </i>
19
00:03:28,250 --> 00:03:32,050
Fat swine, if you dare breathe
on balmy zephyr more
20
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,640
I'll fan your cheeks
for you!
21
00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:36,480
Monsieur, won't you all
protect me?
22
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,090
- Proceed, proceed.
- Go on.
23
00:03:38,130 --> 00:03:40,880
Sir, I will not allow you
to insult me in this manner.
24
00:03:40,910 --> 00:03:43,520
Really?
What manner would you prefer?
25
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:44,850
Quiet, down there!
26
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,940
- We'll tolerate
no more of this.
27
00:03:47,870 --> 00:03:49,720
Go on with the play,
Montfleury.
28
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:52,380
(shouting criticisms)
29
00:03:52,410 --> 00:03:54,480
Unless these gentlemen
retain your seats
30
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,790
my sword may
bite their ribbons.
31
00:03:56,830 --> 00:03:58,650
Who is this braggart?
32
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,070
My cousin, sir.
33
00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:04,710
Well, Montfleury,
still no exit?
34
00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:06,930
- Very well then,
I enter
35
00:04:06,970 --> 00:04:11,740
with knife, to carve
this fat, stuffed goose.
36
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:14,800
(ominous music begins)
37
00:04:14,830 --> 00:04:18,080
(crowd clamors)
38
00:04:20,030 --> 00:04:22,170
I pray, do not crowd
my scabbard here.
39
00:04:22,210 --> 00:04:24,320
She may put her
tongue out at you.
40
00:04:24,350 --> 00:04:27,140
(shouted recriminations)
41
00:04:29,870 --> 00:04:30,990
Silence.
42
00:04:31,910 --> 00:04:33,830
I say be silent!
43
00:04:35,450 --> 00:04:38,260
And I offer one universal
challenge to you all:
44
00:04:38,460 --> 00:04:41,410
Will all who wish to die,
please raise their hands.
45
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,360
Approach, young heroes.
I will take your names.
46
00:04:45,140 --> 00:04:47,830
To the first man who falls
I'll build a monument.
47
00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:49,710
Who will head the list?
48
00:04:50,010 --> 00:04:50,780
You, sir?
49
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,000
No.
50
00:04:52,830 --> 00:04:53,610
You?
51
00:04:54,470 --> 00:04:55,170
No, no.
52
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,770
Anyone?
53
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,600
Anyone at all?
54
00:05:01,110 --> 00:05:03,550
Not one...name?
55
00:05:04,260 --> 00:05:06,420
Not one finger?
56
00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:10,260
Very well then,
I go on.
57
00:05:16,130 --> 00:05:18,810
Attend to me, Full Moon.
58
00:05:21,340 --> 00:05:24,190
I clap my hands three times, thus.
59
00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:26,740
(three claps)
60
00:05:26,770 --> 00:05:30,320
At the third, you will...
eclipse yourself.
61
00:05:30,490 --> 00:05:31,390
Ready!
62
00:05:32,110 --> 00:05:32,910
One.
63
00:05:34,010 --> 00:05:34,900
(clap)
64
00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:36,070
How dare you.
65
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:37,210
I demand!
66
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,070
I insist.
67
00:05:38,110 --> 00:05:40,150
- I call upon all the nobles...
- Two!
68
00:05:41,010 --> 00:05:42,080
(clap)
69
00:05:42,110 --> 00:05:43,090
This is an outrage.
70
00:05:43,130 --> 00:05:44,040
You hear, an outrage.
71
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:46,620
Nothing on earth
will move me from this stage.
72
00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:48,800
Three!
73
00:05:49,570 --> 00:05:49,910
(clap)
74
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:55,410
(laughter)
75
00:05:56,260 --> 00:05:59,210
Fair ladies and noble gentlemen...
- Boo!
76
00:05:59,250 --> 00:06:02,560
(laughter)
77
00:06:02,950 --> 00:06:04,210
But, Monsieur de Bergerac,
78
00:06:04,250 --> 00:06:07,490
why have you done this
to our Montfleury, an admirable actor?
79
00:06:07,530 --> 00:06:10,090
I have two reasons,
either one conclusive.
80
00:06:10,670 --> 00:06:12,800
First, he is an
abominable actor,
81
00:06:12,830 --> 00:06:15,870
who mouths his verse
and moans his tragedy.
82
00:06:16,350 --> 00:06:17,630
Second,....
83
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:20,970
Well, that's my secret.
84
00:06:22,530 --> 00:06:25,280
But...
But you've closed the play!
85
00:06:25,310 --> 00:06:26,880
It is not a very good play.
86
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:28,970
Huh!
And of their money?
87
00:06:29,010 --> 00:06:31,080
Possibly you would like
that returned to these good people.
88
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:31,960
Yes?
89
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,360
Yes.
90
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:35,830
Here,...catch!
91
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:37,920
(crowd murmurs)
92
00:06:38,410 --> 00:06:41,960
Well, Monsieur, you are hereby
authorized to close our play every night.
93
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,200
On these terms.
94
00:06:43,230 --> 00:06:43,740
(laughter)
95
00:06:43,780 --> 00:06:46,400
Ladies and gentlemen,
your money will be returned.
96
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,250
Kindly pass out, quietly.
97
00:06:48,290 --> 00:06:50,030
Goodnight, goodnight.
98
00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:53,220
(crowd accepts
in good spirits)
99
00:06:55,740 --> 00:06:57,120
(until...)
100
00:06:59,530 --> 00:07:02,610
Your cousin is an
extraordinary man, Madame.
101
00:07:02,650 --> 00:07:04,080
Oh, I agree.
102
00:07:04,410 --> 00:07:08,550
Soldier, poet, philosopher,
musician, playwright.
103
00:07:08,580 --> 00:07:09,570
All those?
104
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,360
Yes, and the best
swordsman in Paris.
105
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,310
Really?
106
00:07:14,340 --> 00:07:17,060
Now, I should have thought
the Vicomte here had that honor.
107
00:07:17,310 --> 00:07:21,360
Tell me, Madame, that
comic mask, that nose,
108
00:07:21,390 --> 00:07:23,300
presently he will take it off?
109
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:25,950
No, Monsieur, he keeps it.
110
00:07:26,450 --> 00:07:29,350
And heaven help
the man who smiles.
111
00:07:29,850 --> 00:07:31,060
Good night.
112
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,880
Oh, Monsieur!
113
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,980
Monsieur!
114
00:07:40,020 --> 00:07:42,710
Uh, when do you leave Paris?
115
00:07:43,210 --> 00:07:44,100
Sir?
116
00:07:44,250 --> 00:07:46,280
Why, after what you've
just done to Montfleury,
117
00:07:46,310 --> 00:07:48,750
did you not know that
the Compte de Guiche was his patron?
118
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:50,190
Who's yours?
119
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:52,140
No one.
120
00:07:52,170 --> 00:07:52,940
No one?
121
00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:53,870
No patron?
122
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:54,630
I said not.
123
00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:56,900
But the Compte de Guiche
has a long arm.
124
00:07:56,930 --> 00:07:58,900
Mine is longer
by three feet of steel.
125
00:07:59,530 --> 00:08:00,180
Yes, but..
126
00:08:00,860 --> 00:08:02,160
but, what a scare...
127
00:08:02,190 --> 00:08:02,990
You may go now.
128
00:08:03,020 --> 00:08:04,510
- but...
- You may go.
129
00:08:05,810 --> 00:08:08,620
Well, tell me,
why are you staring at my nose?
130
00:08:08,650 --> 00:08:10,160
Oh, I was not staring.
131
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:11,630
Does it astonish you?
132
00:08:11,660 --> 00:08:13,920
Why n...Why no, I've been careful
not to look.
133
00:08:13,950 --> 00:08:15,510
Oh, and why not, if you please?
134
00:08:15,550 --> 00:08:16,730
It disgusts you, then?
135
00:08:16,770 --> 00:08:17,880
But, no, I just...
136
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,700
Does its color appear
to you unwholesome?
137
00:08:19,730 --> 00:08:20,480
By no means.
138
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,310
Then, possibly you find it
just a trifle large?
139
00:08:22,340 --> 00:08:24,500
No, small, very small, tiny!
140
00:08:24,530 --> 00:08:25,640
Infinitesimal!
141
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,960
What?
You accuse me of absurdity?
142
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,730
Small, my nose?
Why magnificent, my nose!
143
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,900
You pug, you knob,
you button head,
144
00:08:34,930 --> 00:08:37,170
know that I glory
in this nose of mine!
145
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,400
For a great nose
indicates a great man,
146
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:45,440
congenial, courteous,
intellectual, virile, courageous.
147
00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:48,050
Whilst that face of yours,
148
00:08:48,370 --> 00:08:54,070
that blank, inglorious concavity
which my right hand finds on top of you,
149
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:59,630
is as devoid of pride, of poetry,
of soul, of picturesqueness,
150
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:04,810
of contour, of character,
of nose, in short,
151
00:09:04,850 --> 00:09:09,740
as that which is at the bottom of
that limp spine of yours my left foot...
- Oh, help!
152
00:09:09,780 --> 00:09:11,550
(laughter)
153
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:13,840
Presently, this fellow
will grow tiresome.
154
00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:16,590
Oh, he blows his horn.
155
00:09:17,330 --> 00:09:19,800
- Well, will no one
put him in his place?
156
00:09:20,270 --> 00:09:22,660
If you would all me.
Observe.
157
00:09:25,090 --> 00:09:31,260
Monsieur, your nose,
your nose is rather large.
158
00:09:34,450 --> 00:09:35,400
Rather?
159
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,350
Oh, well.
160
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:37,620
Is that all?
161
00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:38,540
Well, of course, you...
162
00:09:38,570 --> 00:09:40,400
Ah, no young sir, you're too simple.
163
00:09:40,430 --> 00:09:42,620
Why, you might have
said a great many things.
164
00:09:42,650 --> 00:09:44,800
Why waste your opportunity?
165
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:45,860
For example, thus...
166
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:47,450
Aggressive---
167
00:09:47,490 --> 00:09:51,040
I, sir, if that great nose were mine,
I would have it amputated on the spot.
168
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:52,710
Practical---
169
00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:56,570
How do you drink with such a nose.
You must have had a cup made especially.
170
00:09:56,850 --> 00:09:57,880
Descriptive---
171
00:09:57,910 --> 00:10:00,570
'Tis a rock, a crag, a cape.
172
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,510
A cape, say rather, a peninsula.
173
00:10:05,890 --> 00:10:06,990
Inquisitive---
174
00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:11,400
Uh, what is that receptacle,
a razor case or a portfolio?
175
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,680
Kindly---
176
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,840
Ah, do you love the little birds so much
that when they come and sing to you,
177
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,690
you give them this to perch on?
178
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,570
Cautious---
179
00:10:20,610 --> 00:10:24,120
Take care. A weight like that
might make you top-heavy.
180
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,250
Eloquent---
181
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,510
When it blows the typhoon howls
and the clouds darken.
182
00:10:29,580 --> 00:10:30,400
Dramatic---
183
00:10:30,430 --> 00:10:34,690
When it bleeds...the Red Sea.
184
00:10:35,540 --> 00:10:36,530
Simple---
185
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:39,640
Eh, when do they
unveil the monument?
186
00:10:40,020 --> 00:10:40,900
Military---
187
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:43,510
Beware, a secret weapon!
188
00:10:44,290 --> 00:10:45,620
Enterprising---
189
00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:48,080
What a sigh for some perfumer!
190
00:10:48,490 --> 00:10:49,300
Respectful---
191
00:10:49,330 --> 00:10:52,050
Uh sir, I recognize in you
a man of parts,
192
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,740
a man of...prominence.
193
00:10:54,770 --> 00:10:56,500
Or, Literary---
194
00:10:56,530 --> 00:10:59,360
Was this the nose
that launched a thousand ships?
195
00:11:00,010 --> 00:11:02,850
These, my dear sir, are things
you might have said had you
196
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,690
some tinge of letters or of wit
to color your discourse.
197
00:11:05,810 --> 00:11:07,970
Bit wit not so.
You never had an atom.
198
00:11:08,270 --> 00:11:14,480
And of letters, you need
but three to write you down, a..s..s.
199
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:16,530
Ass.
200
00:11:16,570 --> 00:11:18,040
- (laughter)
- You, sir!
201
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,600
Dolt! Bumpkin! Fool!
202
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:26,620
How do you do, and I,
Cyrano Savinien Hercule de Bergerac.
203
00:11:26,650 --> 00:11:28,050
Vicomte, come.
204
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,650
Such arrogance.
This scarecrow who...
205
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:31,850
Look at him!
206
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,120
No ribbons. No lace.
Not even gloves!
207
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,700
True. I carry my adornments
only on my soul.
208
00:11:39,740 --> 00:11:41,860
Decked with deeds
instead of ribbons.
209
00:11:41,890 --> 00:11:43,420
Mantled in my good name,
210
00:11:43,460 --> 00:11:45,350
and crowned with a
white plume of freedom.
211
00:11:45,380 --> 00:11:46,130
But..
212
00:11:46,170 --> 00:11:47,510
But, I have no gloves.
213
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:48,630
A pity, too.
214
00:11:48,670 --> 00:11:51,630
I had one, the last one of an old pair,
and lost that.
215
00:11:51,660 --> 00:11:53,250
Very careless of me.
216
00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:55,750
Some gentleman offered me
an impertinence.
217
00:11:55,790 --> 00:11:59,840
I left it in his face.
218
00:11:59,870 --> 00:12:00,840
So be it!
219
00:12:02,110 --> 00:12:05,050
You shall die exquisitely
220
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,160
Oh, a poet.
221
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,640
Oh, yes, a poet if you will.
222
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:11,510
So, uh, while we fight,
I'll improvise a ballad for you,
223
00:12:11,540 --> 00:12:15,270
and as I end the refrain,
...skhrch!...thrust home.
224
00:12:15,310 --> 00:12:16,280
Will you?
225
00:12:17,180 --> 00:12:18,130
I will.
226
00:12:21,820 --> 00:12:23,420
(excited crowd)
227
00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:26,890
Ballad au Duel
at the Theatre de Burgoyne
228
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,320
between de Bergerac,
and uh.....a barbarian.
229
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,240
What do you mean by that?
230
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,000
Oh, that?
231
00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:34,960
The title.
232
00:12:34,990 --> 00:12:36,570
(laughter)
233
00:12:36,610 --> 00:12:38,200
Stop. Let me choose my rhyme.
234
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:47,640
So. Here we go.
235
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:50,070
Lightly I toss my hat away.
236
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:55,440
Languidly o'er my arm let fall
the cloak that covers my bright array.
237
00:12:55,510 --> 00:13:00,770
Then, out swords,
and to work withal.
238
00:13:02,660 --> 00:13:05,720
A Lancelot in his lady's hall,
239
00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:10,580
A Spartacus at the Hippodrome,
240
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,340
I dally a while with you..
241
00:13:13,380 --> 00:13:14,750
you jackall.
242
00:13:32,810 --> 00:13:34,360
Just as I end the refrain,
243
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,380
thrust home!
244
00:13:51,290 --> 00:13:54,220
Where shall I skewer my peacock again?
245
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,160
Nay, better for you
to have shunned this brawl.
246
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,010
Here in the heart
or your ribbons, gay,
247
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,610
in the belly
'neath you silken shawl?
248
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,130
Now, come my points floats,
light as the foam
249
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,640
ready to drive you
back to the wall,
250
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:20,030
and then as I end the refrain,
251
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,440
thrust home.
252
00:14:21,930 --> 00:14:23,210
Oh, for a rhyme.
253
00:14:23,580 --> 00:14:25,060
Why, your fight is fading.
254
00:14:25,420 --> 00:14:26,040
You break.
255
00:14:26,350 --> 00:14:26,970
You cower.
256
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:27,600
You cringe.
257
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:28,200
You crawl.
258
00:14:29,310 --> 00:14:30,740
How can I tell
you're allowed to say
259
00:14:30,780 --> 00:14:31,750
something to turn on my head
260
00:14:31,790 --> 00:14:32,720
forestall.....
261
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:33,660
Life with a tunny
262
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:34,970
death with a scall.
263
00:14:35,010 --> 00:14:36,760
Something to turn on my fancy roam,
264
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,670
free for a time till the rhyme's recall,
265
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,620
then as I end the refrain,
266
00:14:40,650 --> 00:14:41,620
thrust home!
267
00:14:43,810 --> 00:14:44,670
Refrain.
268
00:14:45,550 --> 00:14:48,960
Prince,
pray God that is Lord of all,
269
00:14:48,990 --> 00:14:50,840
pardon you soul,
270
00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:54,190
for your time has come.
271
00:14:56,860 --> 00:14:58,820
Pass! I fling you aslant, asprawl.
272
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:00,590
Then as I end the refrain,
273
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,680
thrust home!
274
00:15:41,820 --> 00:15:45,390
(shouts of hurray
and congratulation)
275
00:15:47,130 --> 00:15:49,470
Ladies and gentlemen,
please, please,
276
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:50,790
not until the performance is over.
277
00:15:51,070 --> 00:15:51,980
Close the house.
278
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:52,820
A strike,
279
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,340
but leave the lights.
280
00:15:54,380 --> 00:15:56,070
We rehearse the new
farce tonight.
281
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,240
Wait.
282
00:16:04,110 --> 00:16:05,570
You have only to watch a fight,
283
00:16:05,610 --> 00:16:07,530
or have you ruined
if you listen to them.
284
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:11,570
Think of the enemies you've made,
285
00:16:11,610 --> 00:16:14,050
Montfleury, the Vicomte,
if he lives,
286
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,380
all those foppish marquis,
the Comte de Guiche.
287
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:18,970
That politician.
288
00:16:19,010 --> 00:16:21,910
He's the Cardinal's nephew.
There's power there!
289
00:16:21,950 --> 00:16:23,330
And power here.
290
00:16:23,370 --> 00:16:24,680
Young fool!
291
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,540
Take an example from me.
292
00:16:26,570 --> 00:16:29,810
20 years a captain,
while others who know only
293
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,750
how to deploy their
forces at court
294
00:16:31,780 --> 00:16:33,890
now dangle a marshal's baton.
295
00:16:33,930 --> 00:16:37,360
Well, uh, someday
I will avenge you, too.
296
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,530
Impossible.
Come on, let's go to dinner.
297
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,830
Dinner?
No, not I.
298
00:16:41,860 --> 00:16:42,540
Why not?
299
00:16:42,580 --> 00:16:44,530
Because I have no money.
300
00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:46,150
But, the purse of gold.
301
00:16:46,180 --> 00:16:48,140
Farewell paternal pension.
302
00:16:48,180 --> 00:16:51,430
And you have
until the first of next month?
303
00:16:51,470 --> 00:16:52,310
Nothing.
304
00:16:53,140 --> 00:16:54,460
What a fool.
305
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:56,770
Yes, but, what a moment.
306
00:16:56,810 --> 00:16:57,670
- Pardon, Monsieur.
307
00:17:00,010 --> 00:17:01,770
A man ought
never to go hungry.
308
00:17:02,690 --> 00:17:04,150
I have everything here.
309
00:17:05,490 --> 00:17:06,360
Please.
310
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,080
My dear child, I cannot bend this Gascon
pride of mine to accept such a kindness.
311
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:11,820
But, I...
312
00:17:12,910 --> 00:17:15,810
Yet, for fear that
I may give you pain if I refuse,
313
00:17:16,550 --> 00:17:18,190
I will take something.
314
00:17:19,630 --> 00:17:20,660
A grape.
315
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:25,160
One only.
316
00:17:25,820 --> 00:17:27,170
And a glass of water.
317
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,650
No, clear.
318
00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:35,750
And, uh,...half a macaroon.
319
00:17:37,010 --> 00:17:38,100
Nothing more?
320
00:17:39,060 --> 00:17:39,920
Why, yes.
321
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,230
Your hand to kiss.
322
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,510
Thank you, sir.
323
00:18:02,090 --> 00:18:03,100
Good night.
324
00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:10,290
Idiot.
325
00:18:13,170 --> 00:18:13,890
Dinner.
326
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,160
Drink.
327
00:18:18,830 --> 00:18:19,720
Desert.
328
00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:24,670
Mon Dieux, I was hungry,
abominably.
329
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:26,320
Tell me.
330
00:18:26,590 --> 00:18:27,440
Anything.
331
00:18:27,790 --> 00:18:29,920
Why to you hate
this Montfleury?
332
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:32,860
A very bad actor.
333
00:18:32,890 --> 00:18:34,860
Ah, come now, the real
reason, the truth.
334
00:18:36,610 --> 00:18:39,600
That fat goat who cannot hold
his belly in his arms,
335
00:18:39,630 --> 00:18:42,590
still dreams of being
sweetly dangerous among the women.
336
00:18:43,230 --> 00:18:47,610
Sighs and languishes, making sheep's
eyes out of his great frog's face.
337
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:52,750
I hate him ever since one day
he dared smile upon....
338
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,220
Oh, my friend, I seemed to see over
some flower a great snail crawling.
339
00:19:00,090 --> 00:19:01,180
Eh, what?
340
00:19:02,170 --> 00:19:03,340
Is it possible?
341
00:19:04,890 --> 00:19:06,180
For me to love?
342
00:19:08,770 --> 00:19:09,660
I love.
343
00:19:10,370 --> 00:19:12,570
Whom?
May I know?
344
00:19:12,610 --> 00:19:13,620
Whom I love?
345
00:19:15,070 --> 00:19:16,000
Think a moment.
346
00:19:16,210 --> 00:19:17,280
Think of me.
347
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,670
Me, whom the plainest
woman would despise.
348
00:19:21,030 --> 00:19:25,010
Me, with this nose of mine that
marches on before me by a quarter of an hour.
349
00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:28,000
Whom shall I love.
350
00:19:29,890 --> 00:19:34,930
Why, of course, it must be the
woman in the world most beautiful.
351
00:19:35,780 --> 00:19:37,170
Most beautiful?
352
00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:42,920
In these eyes of mine....
beyond compare.
353
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:44,070
Wait.
354
00:19:44,510 --> 00:19:46,440
Your cousin, Roxane.
355
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,300
Yes.
356
00:19:50,170 --> 00:19:51,080
Roxane.
357
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,810
Well?
358
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,020
Why not?
If you love her, tell her so.
359
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,170
My old friend.
360
00:20:01,150 --> 00:20:03,550
Look at me and tell me how
much hope remains for me
361
00:20:03,580 --> 00:20:04,970
with this protuberance.
362
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,360
Ahhh, I have no more illusions.
363
00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:12,140
Now and then I may grow tender
walking alone in the blue of evening
364
00:20:12,170 --> 00:20:16,130
through some garden fresh with flowers
after the benediction of the rain.
365
00:20:16,980 --> 00:20:20,930
My poor big devil of a nose
inhales April.
366
00:20:21,460 --> 00:20:26,950
And I follow with my eyes where
some boy with a girl upon his arm,
367
00:20:27,510 --> 00:20:32,130
passes a patch of silver...
and I feel somehow....
368
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,490
I wish I had a woman, too,
369
00:20:36,670 --> 00:20:41,660
walking with me under the moon,
and holding my arm and smiling.
370
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:44,240
Then I dream.
371
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:46,140
I forget.
372
00:20:49,510 --> 00:20:53,210
And then I see the shadow
of my profile on the wall.
373
00:20:54,750 --> 00:20:56,050
My friend.
374
00:20:57,180 --> 00:20:58,230
My friend.
375
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,370
I have my bitter days,
knowing myself so ugly, so alone.
376
00:21:03,410 --> 00:21:05,260
Ah, but your wit, your courage,
377
00:21:05,540 --> 00:21:08,170
why that poor child who just
now offered you your dinner,
378
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,710
your saw it, her eyes
did not avoid you.
379
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,920
That is true.
380
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,930
Well, then, Roxane herself,
watching your duel, pale.
381
00:21:18,970 --> 00:21:19,480
Pale?
382
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,670
Yes, her lips parted.
Her hand at her breast, thus.
383
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,020
I saw it.
384
00:21:24,260 --> 00:21:27,260
Speak to her. Speak, man.
385
00:21:35,890 --> 00:21:37,550
She might laugh at me.
386
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:42,480
It is the one thing
in this world I fear.
387
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,490
Pardon, Monsieur,
a lady outside asking for you.
388
00:21:48,410 --> 00:21:49,750
Monsieur.
389
00:21:50,340 --> 00:21:51,270
A Duenna.
390
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,530
I have a message for you
from a...a certain lady.
391
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,760
She desires to know when
and where she may see you privately.
392
00:21:57,810 --> 00:22:00,070
She has certain
things to tell you.
393
00:22:00,690 --> 00:22:01,850
Certain...
394
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,010
Things!
395
00:22:04,230 --> 00:22:05,720
She wishes to see me?
396
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,410
We go tomorrow at dawn
to hear mass at St. Rupe
397
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,070
And afterwards, where
would you suggest?
398
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:12,630
Well, then, I...
399
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:15,300
- Where?
- Well?
400
00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:17,070
Ah....I am thinking.
401
00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:18,080
And you think?
402
00:22:19,770 --> 00:22:20,590
Where?
403
00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:22,060
The shop at Ragueneau's.
404
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:24,580
Yes, yes, Ragueneau,
the pastry cook.
405
00:22:24,620 --> 00:22:25,400
Who dwells?
406
00:22:26,650 --> 00:22:27,590
Rue Saint Honore.
407
00:22:27,630 --> 00:22:28,690
Eh...Rue Saint Honore.
408
00:22:28,730 --> 00:22:33,530
We are agreed. At 7 o'clock.
Until then. Adieu.
409
00:22:38,790 --> 00:22:39,940
I'll be there.
410
00:22:41,620 --> 00:22:44,110
Me! To see me!
411
00:22:44,260 --> 00:22:45,830
Ah, not quite so gloomy.
412
00:22:45,870 --> 00:22:47,580
After all, she knows
that I exist.
413
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,060
Imagine, she has
asked to see me!
414
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:52,240
So, now you're
going to be happy?
415
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,350
Happy.
I'm going to be a storm.
A flame!
416
00:22:55,390 --> 00:22:58,430
I need to fight whole
armies all alone!
417
00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,840
I have ten hearts!
418
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,280
I have a hundred arms!.
419
00:23:01,310 --> 00:23:04,450
I feel too strong
to war with mortals!
420
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,150
BRING ME GIANTS!
421
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:11,240
Quiet, please, shhh.
We are rehearsing back here.
422
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,600
So sorry.
Ha, ha, ha.
423
00:23:21,490 --> 00:23:22,280
Cyrano.
424
00:23:22,830 --> 00:23:23,630
Cyrano.
425
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,590
Ragueneau.
426
00:23:26,150 --> 00:23:27,910
Oh, thank goodness
you're still here.
427
00:23:27,950 --> 00:23:29,180
Well, what's the matter.
428
00:23:29,210 --> 00:23:30,410
I'm afraid to go home.
429
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,040
Why?
430
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,050
You know those
comic verses I wrote?
431
00:23:33,090 --> 00:23:34,830
About the congregation.
432
00:23:34,860 --> 00:23:37,260
Cyrano, he's hired ruffians.
Bullies.
433
00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:39,740
A hundred, waiting for
me on the way home.
434
00:23:39,780 --> 00:23:41,620
They're gonna beat me.
Cane me!
435
00:23:41,650 --> 00:23:44,450
Please, would you permit me
to spend the night with you?
436
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,420
A hundred men,
is that all?
437
00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:49,610
Ragueneau, you're
going home tonight.
438
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,630
But they're armed.
They're cutthroats!
439
00:23:51,690 --> 00:23:53,620
Take this lantern.
Forward march.
440
00:23:53,660 --> 00:23:55,760
I say that I'll be the man
to see you to your shop.
441
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,150
Not you, I want no help from you.
442
00:23:57,190 --> 00:23:58,510
For even for a hundred,
you're mad.
443
00:23:58,550 --> 00:23:59,730
Those are the odds I want.
444
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,420
Why for this pastry cook?
445
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,820
First, because this
pastry cook is a friend of mine.
446
00:24:04,930 --> 00:24:07,820
Second, because this
pastry cook is also a poet.
447
00:24:07,950 --> 00:24:09,360
And, most important,
448
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:12,000
if anything should
happen to this pastry cook,
449
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:16,870
tomorrow morning at seven
his shop will be closed.
450
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:19,590
Goodnight.
451
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,060
(a whistle signal)
452
00:25:37,430 --> 00:25:38,480
Cyrano. Help!
453
00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:43,580
Look out behind you!
454
00:26:22,750 --> 00:26:23,810
I have been robbed.
455
00:26:24,370 --> 00:26:26,070
- There are no hundred here.
456
00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:32,360
It's, it's, it's...
457
00:26:33,820 --> 00:26:35,230
Be quick. Inside.
458
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,550
Bolt the door!
459
00:26:48,510 --> 00:26:49,310
Ah!
460
00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:08,660
Yah!
461
00:27:10,460 --> 00:27:12,210
(ruffians shouting)
462
00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:01,010
Ah!
463
00:28:03,860 --> 00:28:04,560
Awk.
464
00:28:05,860 --> 00:28:08,030
(ruffians shouting)
465
00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:17,280
(Le Bret)
- Cyrano!
466
00:28:17,310 --> 00:28:18,320
- Hold!
467
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:34,330
Ah.
468
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,420
How do you feel?
469
00:28:37,460 --> 00:28:39,540
Oh, pleasantly exhilarated.
470
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:42,990
- Come, I know a little tavern not far...
- Where's Ragueneau?
471
00:28:43,310 --> 00:28:46,320
Ragueneau?
Ragueneau!
472
00:28:46,730 --> 00:28:49,510
Little boy, come out.
All's well!
473
00:28:50,330 --> 00:28:51,990
- Is it over?
- All over.
474
00:28:52,220 --> 00:28:53,020
Really?
475
00:28:54,500 --> 00:28:55,340
So soon?
476
00:28:55,370 --> 00:28:56,140
Ha, ha, ha.
477
00:28:56,170 --> 00:28:59,480
Oh, if only I'd had my sword.
How many did we kill?
478
00:28:59,510 --> 00:29:00,330
Oh, about eight.
479
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:00,960
Eight.
480
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,410
Eight!
481
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,420
Ohhhh.
482
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,910
This.....gentleman
begins to annoy me.
483
00:29:31,980 --> 00:29:33,630
(Ragueneau is a poet, too.)
484
00:29:35,060 --> 00:29:40,010
No. The sauce and meat must rhyme.
Add a pinch of marigold and thyme.
485
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,960
Your house, of course, needs a stronger roof.
Eh? There's proof.
486
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:45,830
Cyrano.
487
00:29:46,830 --> 00:29:47,500
Cyrano.
488
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,100
Come in and eat.
489
00:29:49,130 --> 00:29:51,110
- What time is it?
- Not quite seven.
490
00:29:51,130 --> 00:29:54,140
Oh, now, please, Cyrano.
A man without breakfast is like...
491
00:29:54,180 --> 00:29:56,720
No.
Could she have changed her mind?
492
00:29:56,750 --> 00:29:57,920
Aw, she wouldn't dare.
493
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,900
We were magnificent last night.
494
00:30:00,370 --> 00:30:01,830
And at the theater, too.
495
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,320
'Then, as I end the refrain'....
496
00:30:04,350 --> 00:30:07,390
When she arrives.
Where can we converse undisturbed?
497
00:30:07,420 --> 00:30:09,190
Wherever you like.
My shop is yours.
498
00:30:09,310 --> 00:30:11,900
The little dining room
is quite romantic.
499
00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:14,490
'Thrust home!'
Yea gods, what a line.
500
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,650
- 'Then as I end the re....'
- Vanish.
501
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:18,110
- Uh, huh, she's come?
- Shhhh.
502
00:30:18,140 --> 00:30:18,920
I swear.
503
00:30:27,340 --> 00:30:28,170
Welcome.
504
00:30:38,470 --> 00:30:40,510
- A pardon, one word.
- Oh, yes?
505
00:30:40,550 --> 00:30:41,520
Have you a good digestion?
506
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,430
Oh, wonderful.
507
00:30:43,290 --> 00:30:48,800
Eh, here are some éclairs.
Uh, creampuffs.
508
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,160
Some, uh, jellyrolls.
And do you like nature?
509
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,400
I adore it.
510
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,760
Go out and eat these in the sunshine.
Do not return.
511
00:30:56,790 --> 00:30:57,440
But why?
512
00:30:57,470 --> 00:30:58,910
Until you have finished them.
513
00:30:58,940 --> 00:31:00,340
(outside)
- What do I do then?
514
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,750
(door closes)
515
00:31:09,970 --> 00:31:13,000
Blessed above all others be the hour
when you remember to remember me,
516
00:31:13,230 --> 00:31:15,800
and came to tell me......what?
517
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,750
To tell you that....
518
00:31:19,060 --> 00:31:21,810
Before I dare tell you I....
519
00:31:22,020 --> 00:31:24,850
Are you, I wonder, still
the same big brother almost
520
00:31:24,890 --> 00:31:26,720
that you used to be
when we were children,
521
00:31:26,750 --> 00:31:29,570
playing by the pond
in the old garden down there?
522
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,570
At Bergerac.
Those lovely summers.
523
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,700
You use to make swords
out of bulrushes.
524
00:31:33,740 --> 00:31:35,810
And you, dandelions
also golden hair.
525
00:31:35,890 --> 00:31:37,930
In those days
I could tell you everything.
526
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,860
And you did
everything I wished.
527
00:31:40,060 --> 00:31:44,830
Little Roxane, a sweet tyrone
with short skirts and long hair.
528
00:31:44,860 --> 00:31:45,780
Was I pretty?
529
00:31:49,830 --> 00:31:51,270
Not too plain.
530
00:31:52,150 --> 00:31:54,490
Sometimes when you had fallen
or hurt your hand,
531
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,670
you used to come running to me,
and I would be your mother and say,
532
00:31:57,710 --> 00:32:02,770
oh, with a very grownup voice,
'Now, what have you been doing to yourself?'
533
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,300
'Let me see.'
534
00:32:05,890 --> 00:32:07,060
- Oh!
- No one that.
535
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:08,230
Wait, let me see.
536
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,540
Still. At your age?
537
00:32:12,010 --> 00:32:13,810
Now, how did you do that?
538
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,910
Playing with the big boys
at the Place de Neanne.
539
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:18,410
Come here.
540
00:32:19,330 --> 00:32:21,020
Such a wise little mother.
541
00:32:21,030 --> 00:32:24,740
And tell me, while I wash this
blood away, how many you played with?
542
00:32:24,770 --> 00:32:26,840
- Oh, about a hundred.
- A hundred?
543
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,950
- More or less.
- It can't be.
544
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:31,080
No.
545
00:32:31,670 --> 00:32:33,720
Tell me what you were
going to tell me.....
546
00:32:34,130 --> 00:32:35,320
if you dared.
547
00:32:36,190 --> 00:32:38,060
I think I do dare, now.
548
00:32:38,860 --> 00:32:41,450
It seems so like
those happy days long ago.
549
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,780
Yes, I dare.
550
00:32:44,350 --> 00:32:47,190
Listen....I love someone.
551
00:32:47,850 --> 00:32:48,440
Yes?
552
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,150
Someone who does not know.
553
00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:51,340
Yes?
554
00:32:51,450 --> 00:32:54,970
Someone who loves me, too,
but is afraid of me and keeps away
555
00:32:55,010 --> 00:32:56,340
and never says one word.
556
00:32:57,570 --> 00:32:58,270
(softly)
Yes.
557
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,210
Give my that hand.
558
00:33:01,870 --> 00:33:03,080
Why, how hot it is.
559
00:33:04,390 --> 00:33:06,390
Yes, he loves me.
I am sure of it.
560
00:33:06,740 --> 00:33:07,530
(softly)
Yes.
561
00:33:08,110 --> 00:33:10,730
And he is a soldier, too,
in your own regiment,
562
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,710
your own company.
563
00:33:11,740 --> 00:33:12,750
(loud)
Yes.
564
00:33:13,340 --> 00:33:14,480
Such a man.
565
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,280
He is proud, noble, young, brave,
566
00:33:18,610 --> 00:33:19,700
beautiful!
567
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:22,550
(softly)
Beautiful.
568
00:33:25,180 --> 00:33:26,040
What's the matter?
569
00:33:26,460 --> 00:33:27,160
Oh, nothing.
570
00:33:28,110 --> 00:33:30,210
It's this, my hand.
571
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,280
I love him.
That is all.
572
00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:38,230
And I have never seen him
anywhere except in the theater.
573
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,710
You have never spoken?
574
00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:42,790
Only with our hearts.
575
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,080
Well, then, how do you know?
576
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:50,270
Well, people talk about people,
and I hear things, and...
577
00:33:51,370 --> 00:33:52,700
and I know.
578
00:33:53,890 --> 00:33:55,540
(firmly)
You say he is in the guards?
579
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,530
His name?
580
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,270
Baron Christian de Neuvillette.
581
00:34:02,790 --> 00:34:03,910
You know him?
582
00:34:04,290 --> 00:34:05,650
He is not in the guards.
583
00:34:05,690 --> 00:34:07,020
Yes, since last week.
584
00:34:07,770 --> 00:34:09,550
He is only lately
come to Paris...
585
00:34:09,730 --> 00:34:11,140
from Normandy.
586
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,070
So soon.
So soon we lose our hearts.
587
00:34:15,570 --> 00:34:16,160
What...
(door opens)
588
00:34:16,190 --> 00:34:17,220
(Duenna)
- Monsieur de Bergerac
589
00:34:17,250 --> 00:34:18,850
- I have eaten all the cakes.
590
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,280
Good.
Now, go out and enjoy nature.
591
00:34:23,020 --> 00:34:26,110
But my dear child, you love
only words, wit, poetry.
592
00:34:26,150 --> 00:34:29,950
Why, for all you know,
the man may be a savage or a fool.
593
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:34,290
Not with such eyes.
I read his soul in them.
594
00:34:35,270 --> 00:34:38,360
Yes, all our souls are
written in our eyes.
595
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,720
And you have brought
me here to tell me this?
596
00:34:42,980 --> 00:34:45,890
I do not yet quite understand,
madam, the reason for your confidence.
597
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:52,640
They say, that in your company,
it frightens me, you are all Gascon.
598
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,850
We pick a quarrel with any outsider
who intrudes himself.
599
00:34:54,890 --> 00:34:56,250
Is that what you have heard?
600
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,150
- I'm so afraid for him.
- Not without reason.
601
00:34:59,190 --> 00:35:03,730
And I thought you...
it's you whom they all respect and fear.
602
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,590
You want me to defend
your little Baron?
603
00:35:08,630 --> 00:35:09,740
Will you?
604
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:11,670
Just for me.
605
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,440
Because I have always
been your friend.
606
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,790
And this is what
you want of me?
607
00:35:16,820 --> 00:35:18,430
Will you be his friend?
608
00:35:20,450 --> 00:35:22,200
I will be his friend.
609
00:35:22,230 --> 00:35:23,040
And never let him
fight a duel.
610
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,060
No, never.
611
00:35:24,090 --> 00:35:24,750
Promise?
612
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:26,980
I promise.
613
00:35:27,420 --> 00:35:30,860
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
I knew I could rely on you.
614
00:35:33,930 --> 00:35:35,410
Well, now I must go.
615
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,480
Oh, you never told
me about last night.
616
00:35:43,970 --> 00:35:45,790
Why, you must
have been a hero.
617
00:35:45,820 --> 00:35:50,240
Have write and tell me all about it,
and...about himself.
618
00:35:51,420 --> 00:35:54,330
Oh, you are a darling.
We are great friends, are we not?
619
00:35:54,860 --> 00:35:56,330
He must write to me.
620
00:35:58,390 --> 00:36:01,490
A hundred men against one.
You shall tell me the whole story
621
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:02,980
someday when we have time.
622
00:36:06,570 --> 00:36:10,170
A hundred men.
What courage!
623
00:36:14,030 --> 00:36:16,810
I have done better.
624
00:36:21,820 --> 00:36:22,450
Well?
625
00:36:24,890 --> 00:36:26,050
Let us leave this place.
626
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,620
But the whole company
is on its way here.
627
00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:28,330
Oh, no.
628
00:36:28,370 --> 00:36:30,870
On my heels. Naturally I told
them all about last night.
629
00:36:30,900 --> 00:36:31,880
They're wild.
630
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:32,830
Here they are.
631
00:36:32,860 --> 00:36:35,420
- Yes, but, why did you?
- Perhaps I can stop them.
632
00:36:36,210 --> 00:36:36,870
Never mind.
633
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,220
Cyrano!
634
00:36:39,260 --> 00:36:46,070
(greetings and cheers to Cyrano)
635
00:36:49,130 --> 00:36:51,570
Eight dead men in the street.
Scandalous.
636
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,010
You know my edict
against dueling, nephew.
637
00:36:54,050 --> 00:36:55,580
I expect to have it enforced.
638
00:36:55,610 --> 00:36:58,940
Furthermore, I wish to know
who was responsible for last night's
639
00:36:58,970 --> 00:37:00,410
outrage at the Place de Neanne.
640
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:01,840
I understand, Your Eminence.
641
00:37:02,050 --> 00:37:04,180
Very well.
And now I have news
642
00:37:04,210 --> 00:37:06,310
that should be more
to you liking.
643
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:13,410
I fear, in confidence, our
uneasy armistice with Spain is doomed.
644
00:37:13,450 --> 00:37:14,410
My colonelcy?
645
00:37:14,450 --> 00:37:16,670
You commission has been prepared.
646
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:18,890
Oh, thank you, uncle, thank you.
647
00:37:19,230 --> 00:37:20,630
Oh, one thing more.
648
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,600
Last night at the theater,
the duel in rhyme,
649
00:37:24,790 --> 00:37:26,970
that guardsman with a nose.
650
00:37:27,010 --> 00:37:30,240
- Bergerac, that impossible Gascon.
- Yes, impossible.
651
00:37:30,260 --> 00:37:32,300
- His treatment of Montfleury.
- Abominable.
652
00:37:32,330 --> 00:37:35,230
- The arrogance with which he closed the play.
- Incredible.
653
00:37:35,260 --> 00:37:38,130
- It will be a miracle if the Vicomte survives.
- A sorrow.
654
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,720
What will you do
with him, Your Eminence?
655
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,100
I? Nothing.
656
00:37:41,140 --> 00:37:43,290
I thought I might
leave that to you.
657
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,500
To me?
658
00:37:44,530 --> 00:37:48,270
Yes. Place him somewhere
in your service,
659
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:49,890
with a comfortable allowance.
660
00:37:49,930 --> 00:37:51,390
He looked a little threadbare.
661
00:37:51,430 --> 00:37:55,020
I...You...But, Your Eminence.
You detest dueling.
662
00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:55,960
Of course I do.
663
00:37:56,350 --> 00:37:58,070
Why didn't you prevent it?
664
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,350
I should much prefer
that monsieur de Beregrac
665
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,300
live by the pen,
rather than die by the sword.
666
00:38:06,590 --> 00:38:08,470
Do you not agree, Antoine?
667
00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:12,560
By all means, Your Eminence.
By all means.
668
00:38:14,830 --> 00:38:21,650
'And then, as I end the refrain...
thrust home.'
669
00:38:24,790 --> 00:38:28,740
(Carousing at Ragueneau's)
670
00:38:33,220 --> 00:38:39,860
(noisy celebration of Cyrano's
defeat of 'a hundred' ruffians)
671
00:38:44,210 --> 00:38:46,580
(Antoine Comte de Guiche enters)
672
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:48,620
Monsieur de Bergerac.
673
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,390
Your Excellency.
674
00:38:51,970 --> 00:38:54,750
I have come to express my....
675
00:38:54,790 --> 00:38:58,550
admiration for both
your exploits last night.
676
00:38:58,590 --> 00:39:01,290
Indeed. Thank you.
677
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,900
My dear fellow,
we may have had our differences,
678
00:39:04,930 --> 00:39:07,550
but I am disposed
to forget them.
679
00:39:07,570 --> 00:39:09,710
That is very generous
of you, sir.
680
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:10,560
No, truly.
681
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,970
You are, it seems, a man
of many skills.
682
00:39:14,010 --> 00:39:17,350
A rare combination
soldier and poet.
683
00:39:18,060 --> 00:39:21,750
- Would you care to join my following?
- No, sir.
684
00:39:21,790 --> 00:39:23,260
I do not follow.
685
00:39:23,770 --> 00:39:25,980
I am told you have
written a play.
686
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,510
As you know, my uncle,
the Cardinal, is also a dramatist.
687
00:39:29,540 --> 00:39:30,990
I might help you there.
688
00:39:31,150 --> 00:39:34,050
Cyrano, now at last
you can have it performed.
689
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,200
Why not?
690
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:36,620
I could take it to him.
691
00:39:37,860 --> 00:39:39,330
Really?
692
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,460
Of course.
Let him rewrite a few lines
693
00:39:41,490 --> 00:39:43,770
here and there, and
he'll find a theater for you.
694
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,230
Rewrite...my lines?
695
00:39:47,670 --> 00:39:49,150
Impossible.
696
00:39:49,190 --> 00:39:52,040
Uh, when he likes a thing,
he pays well.
697
00:39:52,070 --> 00:39:53,240
Yes, but not so well as I.
698
00:39:53,270 --> 00:39:55,460
When I have made a line
that sings itself
699
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:57,220
I pay myself a hundred times.
700
00:39:57,250 --> 00:39:58,940
You are proud, my friend.
701
00:39:58,970 --> 00:40:00,020
You have observed that?
702
00:40:00,060 --> 00:40:02,460
- Cyrano.
See what we found in the street.
703
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:05,140
Plumes dropped in their flight
by those fine birds
704
00:40:05,170 --> 00:40:06,860
who showed their
tail feathers!
705
00:40:06,890 --> 00:40:08,590
(laughter)
706
00:40:08,620 --> 00:40:10,180
The man who hired
those scoundrels,
707
00:40:10,210 --> 00:40:12,010
he must be an
angry man today.
708
00:40:12,050 --> 00:40:13,430
Who was it?
Do you know?
709
00:40:13,850 --> 00:40:14,790
It was I.
710
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,870
I hired them to do the sort
of work we do not soil our hands with.
711
00:40:20,660 --> 00:40:22,940
Punishing an insolent poet.
712
00:40:22,970 --> 00:40:25,610
They ought to be mounted
before they spoil.
713
00:40:25,650 --> 00:40:27,850
(laughter)
What shall we do with them?
714
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:36,460
Sir, will you not return these
to your friends?
715
00:40:40,310 --> 00:40:42,190
Have you read Don Quixote?
716
00:40:42,230 --> 00:40:44,650
I have and found
myself the hero.
717
00:40:44,690 --> 00:40:47,770
Be so good as to read once more
the capture of the windmills.
718
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,010
Chapter 13.
719
00:40:50,150 --> 00:40:52,200
Windmills, remember,
if you fight with them...
720
00:40:52,230 --> 00:40:56,590
may swing round their huge arms
and cast you down into the mire.
721
00:40:56,630 --> 00:40:59,010
Or up among the stars.
722
00:41:01,250 --> 00:41:01,970
Gentlemen.
723
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:03,320
Gentlemen.
724
00:41:03,570 --> 00:41:04,550
Gentlemen.
725
00:41:05,220 --> 00:41:06,610
You've done it, now.
726
00:41:06,650 --> 00:41:07,860
You've made your fortune.
727
00:41:07,890 --> 00:41:09,070
He was willing to forget.
728
00:41:09,490 --> 00:41:11,180
There you go again, growling.
729
00:41:11,210 --> 00:41:13,460
Yesss,
this latest pose of yours,
730
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:16,070
ruining every opportunity
that comes you way,
731
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:17,100
becomes exaggerated.
732
00:41:17,140 --> 00:41:18,250
Very well, then, I exaggerate.
733
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:19,710
There are certain things
in this world
734
00:41:19,740 --> 00:41:21,100
a man does well
to carry to extremes.
735
00:41:21,140 --> 00:41:23,710
Your precious independence.
Your white plume.
736
00:41:23,740 --> 00:41:25,410
How do you expect
to succeed in life?
737
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,400
What would you have me do?
738
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,590
Seek for the patronage
of some great man
739
00:41:28,630 --> 00:41:31,880
and like a creeping vine
on a tall tree crawl upward
740
00:41:31,910 --> 00:41:33,520
where I cannot stand alone?
741
00:41:33,940 --> 00:41:34,850
No, thank you.
742
00:41:35,210 --> 00:41:39,880
Be a buffoon in the vile hope
of teasing out a smile on some cold face.
743
00:41:40,340 --> 00:41:41,710
No, thank you.
744
00:41:42,050 --> 00:41:44,260
Eat a toad for breakfast
every morning.
745
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:47,530
Make my knees calloused.
Cultivate a supple spine.
746
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,320
Wear out my belly
groveling in the dust.
747
00:41:49,590 --> 00:41:50,400
No, thank you.
748
00:41:50,860 --> 00:41:54,880
With my left hand scratch the back
of any swine that roots up gold for me
749
00:41:54,910 --> 00:41:58,910
while my right, too proud to know
his partner's business, takes in the fee.
750
00:41:58,940 --> 00:41:59,920
No, thank you.
751
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,810
Shall I use the fire God gave me
to burn incense all day long?
752
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,020
No, thank you.
753
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,410
Struggle to insinuate my name
into the columns of the Gazette?
754
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:13,250
Calculate, scheme, be afraid?
Love more to make a visit than a poem?
755
00:42:13,290 --> 00:42:15,990
Seek introductions, favors,
influences?
756
00:42:16,020 --> 00:42:17,050
No, thank you.
757
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,270
No, I thank you, and
again I thank you.
758
00:42:23,930 --> 00:42:30,320
But, to sing, to laugh, to dream,
to walk in my own way,
759
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,510
free with and eye
to see things as they are.
760
00:42:33,380 --> 00:42:35,240
A voice that means manhood.
761
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,640
To cut my have
the right shoes.
762
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:46,150
And a word, a yes, a no,
to fight, or write,
763
00:42:46,830 --> 00:42:48,440
but never to make
a line I have not heard
764
00:42:48,470 --> 00:42:49,780
in my own heart.
765
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,380
To travel any
road under the sun,
766
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,780
under the stars,
767
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,520
nor care if fame or fortune
lie beyond the bourne.
768
00:43:00,370 --> 00:43:02,250
Yet, with all modesty to say,
769
00:43:03,250 --> 00:43:05,830
my soul be satisfied
with flowers,
770
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:08,000
with weeds,
771
00:43:09,210 --> 00:43:10,840
with thorns, even,
772
00:43:11,910 --> 00:43:14,940
but gather them in the one garden
you may call your own.
773
00:43:16,230 --> 00:43:18,450
In a word, I'm too proud
to be a parasite.
774
00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:21,470
And if mine intellect the germ
that grows towering to heaven
775
00:43:21,500 --> 00:43:22,770
like the mountain pine
776
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,570
I stand not high, it may be,
777
00:43:27,260 --> 00:43:28,460
but alone.
778
00:43:28,500 --> 00:43:31,170
Alone, yes, but why
go about making enemies?
779
00:43:32,100 --> 00:43:35,850
Watching other people
making friends...everywhere,
780
00:43:35,890 --> 00:43:37,980
as a dog makes friends.
781
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,550
I mark the manner of
these canine courtesies,
782
00:43:41,580 --> 00:43:46,770
and think, here comes,
thank heaven, another enemy.
783
00:43:46,810 --> 00:43:52,760
Yes, tell this to all the world,
and then to me say very softly
784
00:43:52,790 --> 00:43:55,540
that she loves you not.
785
00:43:58,830 --> 00:44:00,940
Let me be alone
for a moment.
786
00:44:03,990 --> 00:44:05,050
Cyrano, wait.
787
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,760
Give us your story
of the fight.
788
00:44:07,530 --> 00:44:08,400
Presently.
789
00:44:08,430 --> 00:44:10,010
No, the story, now!
790
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,970
Oh, let him alone.
There's time enough.
791
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,360
I want it now!
792
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,090
As an example for that young
tadpole sneaking out the doorway.
793
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,040
You, there.
794
00:44:25,310 --> 00:44:26,820
Are you addressing me?
795
00:44:28,190 --> 00:44:32,770
Yes, you flat-footed
Norman farmer.
796
00:44:36,190 --> 00:44:37,470
You wish something of me?
797
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:39,950
Listen, Monsieur de...de...de
whatever your name is.
798
00:44:39,980 --> 00:44:40,920
de Neuvillette!
799
00:44:41,090 --> 00:44:43,230
Baron Christan de Neuvillette.
800
00:44:43,270 --> 00:44:45,370
Very well, de Neuvillette.
801
00:44:45,670 --> 00:44:48,080
As you are a newcomer here,
you should know there is a
802
00:44:48,110 --> 00:44:52,300
certain subject or object, if you prefer,
that is never mentioned among us.
803
00:44:52,340 --> 00:44:53,340
And that is....?
804
00:44:53,370 --> 00:44:54,500
Look at me!
805
00:44:54,540 --> 00:44:55,980
(touching his nose)
806
00:44:56,020 --> 00:44:57,360
You understand?
807
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:58,670
You mean....?
808
00:44:58,700 --> 00:45:01,090
Thus we never speak that word.
809
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,390
To even breathe it is
to have to do with him.
810
00:45:04,420 --> 00:45:08,760
He has exterminated several
whose mere tone of voice suggested...
811
00:45:08,790 --> 00:45:12,920
Would you die before your time?
Just mention anything convex.
812
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,530
Or cartilaginous.
813
00:45:14,570 --> 00:45:18,540
One word. One syllable.
One gesture. Nay, one sneeze.
814
00:45:18,570 --> 00:45:21,330
And your handkerchief
becomes your winding sheet.
815
00:45:24,110 --> 00:45:24,920
Captain.
816
00:45:25,430 --> 00:45:26,290
Sir?
817
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:30,090
What is the proper thing to do
when Gascons grow too boastful?
818
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,820
Prove to them that one may
be a Norman and still have courage.
819
00:45:33,850 --> 00:45:35,100
I thank you.
820
00:45:41,330 --> 00:45:43,360
Come on, Cyrano, your story.
821
00:45:44,420 --> 00:45:47,330
(shouts of encouragement)
822
00:45:47,740 --> 00:45:49,540
Now, let me see.
Where shall we begin?
823
00:45:50,450 --> 00:45:52,510
I followed with our host
to meet those scoundrels
824
00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:53,640
not knowing where
they might attack.
825
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,340
No lamps in those narrow
back streets.
826
00:45:57,500 --> 00:45:58,600
No moon in the sky.
827
00:45:59,340 --> 00:46:01,220
Dark. Everything dark.
828
00:46:01,430 --> 00:46:04,040
It was so dark, Mon Dieux,
you could not see beyond...
829
00:46:04,070 --> 00:46:05,470
Your nose!
830
00:46:05,850 --> 00:46:08,480
(Christian shows his courage.)
831
00:46:25,250 --> 00:46:33,250
Who...is that...man...there?
832
00:46:34,260 --> 00:46:35,380
- A new recruit.
833
00:46:36,070 --> 00:46:37,550
- Arrived last week.
834
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,080
A recruit, eh?
835
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:41,940
Ha, ha---.
836
00:46:41,970 --> 00:46:45,320
His name is Christian de Neuvillette.
837
00:46:45,350 --> 00:46:48,660
(Cyrano remembers his
promise to Roxane.)
838
00:46:58,510 --> 00:46:59,570
I see.
839
00:47:02,670 --> 00:47:03,510
Very well.
840
00:47:04,850 --> 00:47:06,470
As I was saying.
841
00:47:10,830 --> 00:47:11,930
It grew dark.
842
00:47:12,460 --> 00:47:15,180
You could not see
your hand before your eyes.
843
00:47:16,310 --> 00:47:19,470
I marched on thinking our all for
the sake of one amateur poet
844
00:47:19,510 --> 00:47:22,660
- who wrote a verse whenever he took a..
- A nose full.
845
00:47:24,370 --> 00:47:25,770
...whenever he took a notion.,
846
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,600
and might antagonize
some dangerous man.
847
00:47:28,630 --> 00:47:30,830
One powerful enough
to make me pay...
848
00:47:30,860 --> 00:47:31,980
Through the nose!
849
00:47:32,010 --> 00:47:33,090
...pay the piper!
850
00:47:33,410 --> 00:47:35,430
After all, I thought,
why am I putting in my..
851
00:47:35,470 --> 00:47:36,310
- Nose!
852
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:39,170
...putting in my oar in a quarrel
that was none of mine,
853
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,240
however now that I am here,
I may as well go through with it.
854
00:47:41,270 --> 00:47:42,840
Come Gascon, do your duty.
855
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,850
Suddenly a sword
flashed in the dark!
856
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:45,810
I caught it fair...
857
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:46,810
On the nose!
858
00:47:47,940 --> 00:47:49,130
...on my blade!
859
00:47:49,170 --> 00:47:50,530
Before I knew it,
there I was...
860
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:51,690
Rubbing noses!
861
00:47:51,730 --> 00:47:53,840
...crossing swords with
harvard's joy once.
862
00:47:53,870 --> 00:47:54,940
I had the bottom then...
863
00:47:54,980 --> 00:47:55,900
A nosegay!
864
00:47:55,940 --> 00:47:57,160
...a monstrous crab tree.
865
00:47:57,610 --> 00:48:00,170
(breathing heavily)
He went down for as a wave.
866
00:48:00,380 --> 00:48:00,990
I charged...
867
00:48:01,030 --> 00:48:02,590
Who was in the air hard.
868
00:48:02,620 --> 00:48:03,450
...at the two of them.
869
00:48:04,750 --> 00:48:05,900
Another lunged,
and I parried...
870
00:48:05,940 --> 00:48:07,220
Through your nose!
871
00:48:07,250 --> 00:48:09,310
Right out of here!
All of you go!
872
00:48:09,340 --> 00:48:10,120
Leave me with him.
873
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,660
To my arms, sir.
You have courage.
874
00:48:28,690 --> 00:48:29,880
- That pleases me.
- Why?
875
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,820
Come, do you not know
I am her brother?
876
00:48:31,850 --> 00:48:32,460
Whose?
877
00:48:32,500 --> 00:48:34,250
Hers. Roxane.
878
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:38,390
Brother?
879
00:48:39,260 --> 00:48:40,170
You?
880
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,150
Well, a distant cousin.
Much the same.
881
00:48:42,510 --> 00:48:44,450
- Then she has told you?
- Everything.
882
00:48:44,580 --> 00:48:46,680
- She loves me?
- Perhaps.
883
00:48:47,610 --> 00:48:49,950
My dear sir, more than I can say.
I am honored.
884
00:48:49,990 --> 00:48:52,040
- Rather sudden.
- Oh, please, forgive me.
885
00:48:52,260 --> 00:48:54,270
If you knew how
much I have admired you.
886
00:48:54,310 --> 00:48:57,620
- Yes, yes, and all those noses.
- Please. I apologize.
887
00:48:59,060 --> 00:49:00,680
Roxane expects a letter.
888
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:02,300
- From me?
- Yes, why not?
889
00:49:02,340 --> 00:49:03,180
Oh,, No.
890
00:49:03,530 --> 00:49:05,880
- Once I write, that ruins everything.
- Why?
891
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,020
Because, any schoolboy can write
to her more gracefully than I.
892
00:49:09,590 --> 00:49:10,730
A fool!
893
00:49:10,900 --> 00:49:14,560
- You did not attack me like a fool.
- Anyone can pick a quarrel.
894
00:49:14,740 --> 00:49:16,580
No, I'm never at loss
for words among men,
895
00:49:16,610 --> 00:49:21,260
but with any women...
paralyzed...speechless, dumb.
896
00:49:21,460 --> 00:49:23,600
I'm one of those
stammering idiots
897
00:49:23,630 --> 00:49:25,270
who can not court a woman.
898
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:26,170
Really?
899
00:49:26,810 --> 00:49:28,700
As for myself,
it seems to me that
900
00:49:28,730 --> 00:49:32,300
given the opportunity,
and if I put my mind to it,
901
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,390
I could do that..
rather well.
902
00:49:35,420 --> 00:49:37,870
Oh, is I had words to say
what I have here!
903
00:49:37,900 --> 00:49:39,450
If I were handsome
like you.
904
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,780
Together, we could make
one mighty hero of romance.
905
00:49:43,820 --> 00:49:45,330
If only I had your wit.
906
00:49:50,570 --> 00:49:51,710
Borrow it, then.
907
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:53,150
What?
908
00:49:54,670 --> 00:49:55,490
Tell me,
909
00:49:56,910 --> 00:49:59,770
would you dare repeat to her
the words I gave you day by day?
910
00:50:00,330 --> 00:50:02,420
Send to her
the letters that I write?
911
00:50:02,460 --> 00:50:04,800
I mean, that Roxane
should have no disillusionment.
912
00:50:05,180 --> 00:50:06,820
Come, shall we win her
both together?
913
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:07,800
For you?
914
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,970
- Why, Cyrano...
- Christian, why not?
915
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,850
I...I'm afraid.
916
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,030
Afraid that when you
have her all alone, you will lose her.
917
00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:16,420
Have not fear,
it is your self she loves.
918
00:50:16,450 --> 00:50:17,920
Give her yourself.
919
00:50:17,950 --> 00:50:23,670
Put into words,
my words...upon your lips.
920
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:25,180
Will you?
921
00:50:26,780 --> 00:50:28,030
Will you?
922
00:50:28,910 --> 00:50:30,740
Does it mean
so much to you?
923
00:50:30,770 --> 00:50:32,360
It means....
924
00:50:34,110 --> 00:50:37,060
It means a comedy,
a situation for a poet.
925
00:50:37,190 --> 00:50:38,350
Come, shall we collaborate?
926
00:50:38,390 --> 00:50:42,420
I'll be your cloak of darkness,
your enchanted sword,
927
00:50:42,460 --> 00:50:45,330
your ring to charm
the fairy princess.
928
00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:49,180
Think!
Is the prize not worth the danger?
929
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:52,980
My friend!
930
00:50:54,620 --> 00:50:55,740
My friend.
931
00:50:56,890 --> 00:51:00,100
Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
932
00:51:00,350 --> 00:51:03,650
Plucking the flowers,
we will keep the plant in bloom.
933
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,010
Thus do I love thee,
my darling.
934
00:51:08,890 --> 00:51:09,670
Idiot.
935
00:51:09,910 --> 00:51:12,200
There are a dozen
ways to read that line.
936
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:14,500
Can't you give it some meaning?
Any meaning!
937
00:51:14,530 --> 00:51:15,950
THUS do I love thee!
938
00:51:15,980 --> 00:51:17,280
Thus do "I" love thee.
939
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:18,550
Thus do I LOVE thee.
940
00:51:18,580 --> 00:51:20,930
Thus do I love THEE,
THEE, THEE.
941
00:51:22,580 --> 00:51:25,680
Who knows your smile
has known a perfect thing.
942
00:51:25,710 --> 00:51:28,400
You are a white rose,
wherein love lies in ambush
943
00:51:28,430 --> 00:51:30,180
for its natural prey.
944
00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:33,760
In the garden of my heart,
you are the most...
945
00:51:33,930 --> 00:51:35,680
eh, the most....
946
00:51:37,450 --> 00:51:39,750
fragrant blossom.
947
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,780
As the tender sapling
thirsts for rain,
948
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,900
as the eagle seeks the sky,
949
00:51:48,030 --> 00:51:51,050
as the wave
hurtles toward the shore,
950
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,990
my heart yearns for you.
951
00:51:54,460 --> 00:51:55,820
Good, good.
952
00:51:55,970 --> 00:51:58,740
You know, you're beginning
to have a feel for words.
953
00:51:58,770 --> 00:52:02,010
- Words. I'm sick of words.
- Those are your weapons.
954
00:52:02,050 --> 00:52:03,190
How else do you conquer?
955
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,130
Yes, but when, when?
956
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,190
They're fighting in the north, now.
You know that.
957
00:52:06,230 --> 00:52:07,690
The Regiment will be
called up any day,
958
00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:08,840
and I've never
even kissed her.
959
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,940
Patience, my boy, patience.
960
00:52:11,980 --> 00:52:13,110
I've been patient.
961
00:52:13,140 --> 00:52:16,280
Why, she sees the Compte de Guiche
as often as she does me.
962
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,120
Do you suppose
she's playing with me?
963
00:52:21,260 --> 00:52:22,500
Making a fool of me?
964
00:52:23,850 --> 00:52:24,880
Impossible.
965
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,210
How can you say?
How do you know?
966
00:52:27,210 --> 00:52:31,390
Cyrano, you have her confidence.
You could find out.
967
00:52:39,300 --> 00:52:40,690
Nonsense, I say.
968
00:52:42,260 --> 00:52:43,440
Oh, very well.
969
00:52:43,870 --> 00:52:45,190
I'll scout the terrain.
970
00:52:45,230 --> 00:52:47,200
Listen, Cyrano,
intelligently, discreetly.
971
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:48,160
Yes.
972
00:52:48,190 --> 00:52:49,340
With finesse.
973
00:52:52,010 --> 00:52:55,510
And, uh, what do you think
of Christian after all these weeks?
974
00:52:55,620 --> 00:52:58,030
He is beautiful,
but he's brilliant.
975
00:52:58,070 --> 00:52:59,760
- And I love him.
- Good!
976
00:52:59,870 --> 00:53:01,750
Uh, do you find him intellectual?
977
00:53:01,790 --> 00:53:03,600
- More so than you, even.
- Huh?
978
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,470
- Oh, I didn't mean.
- No, no, no, I am glad.
979
00:53:06,500 --> 00:53:09,290
No man ever so beautifully
said those things.
980
00:53:09,330 --> 00:53:11,900
Those pretty nothings
to everything.
981
00:53:12,310 --> 00:53:15,780
Sometimes, he,. he, he falls
into a reverie.
982
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,110
His inspiration..fails.
983
00:53:20,050 --> 00:53:23,940
But, then all at once,
he will say something absolutely...
984
00:53:23,980 --> 00:53:25,370
Ah!
985
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:26,760
Really?
986
00:53:27,470 --> 00:53:28,910
How like a man!
987
00:53:28,940 --> 00:53:32,220
You think because a man
has a handsome face he must be a fool.
988
00:53:33,330 --> 00:53:34,790
Not necessarily.
989
00:53:34,830 --> 00:53:38,410
Uh, he talks well about, uh,
matters of the heart?
990
00:53:38,450 --> 00:53:42,420
He does not talk.
He rhapsodizes. He dreams.
991
00:53:42,460 --> 00:53:46,360
Only the other night he said to me,
extemporaneously, mind you.
992
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:47,220
Oh, of course.
993
00:53:47,980 --> 00:53:50,660
'Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
994
00:53:50,700 --> 00:53:54,760
'Plucking the flowers
we will keep the plants in bloom.'
995
00:53:55,720 --> 00:53:56,730
Well?
996
00:53:56,770 --> 00:53:58,530
Umm, passable.
997
00:53:58,950 --> 00:54:00,010
He writes well?
998
00:54:00,050 --> 00:54:02,080
Wonderfully, listen:
999
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,510
'Knowing you have in store
more heart to give
1000
00:54:05,550 --> 00:54:08,160
- 'than I to find heart room...'
- The first he has too much heart,
1001
00:54:08,190 --> 00:54:10,400
then too little. Just how much heart
does he need?
1002
00:54:10,470 --> 00:54:11,740
You are teasing.
1003
00:54:11,870 --> 00:54:12,870
You are jealous!
1004
00:54:12,910 --> 00:54:13,690
Jealous?
1005
00:54:13,730 --> 00:54:14,440
Yes.
1006
00:54:14,470 --> 00:54:15,840
Poets are all alike.
1007
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:19,660
Would you dare
criticize these lines?
1008
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:25,100
'Only believe that unto you
my whole heart gives one cry.
1009
00:54:25,540 --> 00:54:29,470
'And writing, writes down
more than you receive.
1010
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,010
'Sending you kisses
through my fingertips.
1011
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,020
'Lady, oh, read my letter
with your lips.'
1012
00:54:39,340 --> 00:54:43,820
Yes, those last lines,
but he overwrites.
1013
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:44,970
Listen to this.
1014
00:54:45,010 --> 00:54:46,000
Do you know
them all by heart?
1015
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,070
Every one.
1016
00:54:47,110 --> 00:54:48,500
Well, I may call
that flattering.
1017
00:54:48,530 --> 00:54:49,310
He is a master.
1018
00:54:49,350 --> 00:54:51,850
- Oh, come..
- Yes, a master.
1019
00:54:51,860 --> 00:54:55,270
Huh, a master,...
if you will.
1020
00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:00,520
And, uh, when do you
bestow the laurel wreath?
1021
00:55:00,540 --> 00:55:05,290
How many prodigies of poetry
must this new Hercules perform?
1022
00:55:05,390 --> 00:55:06,490
I do not know.
1023
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:11,580
My friend, you men own the world
and all that's in it.
1024
00:55:12,020 --> 00:55:17,990
Woman is at best a prize, a property
valued much the same as a horse or a dog,
1025
00:55:18,150 --> 00:55:22,010
unlike the pear and sheen of skin
and soundness of teeth and limb.
1026
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:27,870
Well, if I must be chattel,
then the terms shall be mine,
1027
00:55:27,910 --> 00:55:31,480
and the price according
to my own values.
1028
00:55:31,510 --> 00:55:32,670
There.
1029
00:55:34,070 --> 00:55:35,460
I see.
1030
00:55:37,060 --> 00:55:39,880
Christian tells me
that you meet tonight.
1031
00:55:42,510 --> 00:55:45,210
What would you have him
speak about?
1032
00:55:46,230 --> 00:55:47,910
Oh, nothing,
1033
00:55:48,260 --> 00:55:49,530
and everything.
1034
00:55:49,980 --> 00:55:54,140
I shall say, speak to me
of love in your own words.
1035
00:55:54,550 --> 00:55:56,810
Improvise, rhapsodize.
1036
00:55:57,540 --> 00:55:58,790
Be eloquent.
1037
00:55:59,910 --> 00:56:01,540
But you will not tell him,
will you?
1038
00:56:01,570 --> 00:56:03,270
Ah, perish the thought.
1039
00:56:03,590 --> 00:56:06,370
Madame, Compte de Guiche.
1040
00:56:10,720 --> 00:56:12,820
(Sigh)
Madame.
1041
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:16,880
Monsieur.
1042
00:56:17,770 --> 00:56:18,770
Madame.
1043
00:56:21,570 --> 00:56:24,270
Monsieur.
(Crunch)
1044
00:56:33,430 --> 00:56:35,090
- Christian, quick.
- No.
1045
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,030
There's still time to learn your lines.
No.
1046
00:56:37,070 --> 00:56:39,760
I have some brilliant phrases for you,
brilliant, sensitive...
1047
00:56:39,790 --> 00:56:40,500
No.
1048
00:56:41,150 --> 00:56:42,160
I'll have not more of it.
1049
00:56:42,190 --> 00:56:44,250
Taking all my words, my sentences
all from you,
1050
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,490
- making our love a little comedy.
- Don't you real...
1051
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,480
It was a game at first,
but now she cares.
1052
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:49,390
Huh?
1053
00:56:49,430 --> 00:56:50,750
Thanks to you.
Uh.
1054
00:56:50,790 --> 00:56:53,060
I'm not afraid any longer.
I'll speak for myself, now.
1055
00:56:53,090 --> 00:56:53,720
Oh, undoubtedly.
1056
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,990
I will. You shall see!
1057
00:56:56,500 --> 00:56:59,110
Besides, I know enough
to take a woman in my arms,
1058
00:56:59,150 --> 00:57:00,870
and tonight, I will.
1059
00:57:04,070 --> 00:57:05,420
(knocking on door)
- Christian!
1060
00:57:05,450 --> 00:57:07,210
Thank you, my friend,
and goodbye.
1061
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:09,040
- Christian, I beg of you.
- Leave me!
1062
00:57:09,070 --> 00:57:10,830
- You're making a grave error.
- Go away!
1063
00:57:13,540 --> 00:57:14,540
So be it.
1064
00:57:16,950 --> 00:57:18,600
(door opens)
1065
00:57:20,300 --> 00:57:21,440
Christian.
1066
00:57:21,470 --> 00:57:22,580
Roxane.
1067
00:57:23,190 --> 00:57:25,330
I'm so glad you are early.
1068
00:57:26,430 --> 00:57:28,400
Let us stay out here
in the moonlight.
1069
00:57:29,150 --> 00:57:30,490
It's so pleasant.
1070
00:57:32,780 --> 00:57:33,630
Sit down.
1071
00:57:36,450 --> 00:57:37,720
There, so.
1072
00:57:40,770 --> 00:57:43,780
Now, speak to me.
1073
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:45,470
I love you.
1074
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,330
Yes, speak to me of love.
1075
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,390
I...love you.
1076
00:57:53,430 --> 00:57:55,640
Now, be eloquent.
Be brilliant for me.
1077
00:57:56,300 --> 00:57:57,940
Tonight of all nights.
1078
00:57:58,250 --> 00:58:01,560
I love you....so.
1079
00:58:03,610 --> 00:58:07,630
You have your scene.
Now, improvise, rhapsodize.
1080
00:58:07,660 --> 00:58:11,570
I love you...
very much!
1081
00:58:14,500 --> 00:58:17,600
I ask for cream,
and you give me milk and water.
1082
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:22,490
Tell me firstly,
how you love me.
1083
00:58:22,530 --> 00:58:23,780
Very much!
1084
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:26,440
Is that all you feel?
1085
00:58:26,470 --> 00:58:29,360
Your throat, if only
I might kiss it.
1086
00:58:29,390 --> 00:58:30,170
Christian!
1087
00:58:30,210 --> 00:58:31,520
But, Roxane, I love you.
1088
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:32,860
Again.
1089
00:58:32,890 --> 00:58:34,450
No, not again.
I do not love you.
1090
00:58:37,490 --> 00:58:38,540
That is better.
1091
00:58:39,380 --> 00:58:42,870
I...I adore you!
1092
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:43,870
Oh!
1093
00:58:44,570 --> 00:58:46,070
I know I grow absurd.
1094
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:48,870
And that distresses me as much
as if you had grown ugly!
1095
00:58:51,020 --> 00:58:54,910
Please. Gather your dreams
together into words.
1096
00:58:54,950 --> 00:58:57,830
I...um, I...
1097
00:58:57,870 --> 00:59:00,280
I know. You love me!
Good night!
1098
00:59:00,310 --> 00:59:01,440
Oh, but wait, please!
1099
00:59:01,470 --> 00:59:02,530
I was going to say...
1100
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:04,510
That you adore me.
Yes, I know that, too.
1101
00:59:04,540 --> 00:59:06,720
-No, go away.
- I....
1102
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,290
(door slams shut)
1103
00:59:25,170 --> 00:59:28,330
(Cyrano claps his hands)
1104
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:29,870
A great success.
1105
00:59:30,940 --> 00:59:31,720
Help me.
1106
00:59:31,750 --> 00:59:33,620
Not I.
Speak for yourself, my friend.
1107
00:59:33,660 --> 00:59:35,220
Why I...I can't.
1108
00:59:35,250 --> 00:59:38,040
Well, at least you know enough
to take a woman in your arms.
1109
00:59:38,070 --> 00:59:39,680
Oh, Cyrano, please!
1110
00:59:39,790 --> 00:59:41,610
What, and make your love
a little comedy.
1111
00:59:41,650 --> 00:59:44,060
Cyrano, I cannot live
unless I win her back, now.
1112
00:59:44,100 --> 00:59:44,610
This moment!
1113
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,890
This moment. How the devil
am I to teach you now, this mo...
1114
00:59:47,980 --> 00:59:48,940
(Christian)
Her window.
1115
00:59:49,510 --> 00:59:51,690
- Help me, Cyrano, help me.
- Shhhh.
1116
00:59:53,290 --> 00:59:54,800
(Cyrano)
It does seem fairly dark.
1117
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:55,780
(Christian)
Well? Well?
1118
00:59:57,490 --> 00:59:59,190
(Cyrano)
It is more than
you deserve.
1119
01:00:00,550 --> 01:00:02,010
(Cyrano)
I must try out what
can be done.
1120
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:03,040
(Cyrano)
Stand over there.
1121
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,500
(Cyrano)
Idiot, here, before the balcony.
I'll whisper you what to say.
1122
01:00:09,540 --> 01:00:11,380
- She'll hear..
- Shhhh. Call her.
1123
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:13,690
(Christian)
Roxane.
1124
01:00:14,950 --> 01:00:17,330
(Christian louder)
Roxane.
1125
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,220
(balcony window opens)
1126
01:00:21,690 --> 01:00:22,760
Who's calling?
1127
01:00:23,430 --> 01:00:24,240
Christian.
1128
01:00:24,570 --> 01:00:25,670
You again.
1129
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:27,420
I...had to tell you.
1130
01:00:27,710 --> 01:00:29,340
No. Go away.
You tell me nothing.
1131
01:00:29,370 --> 01:00:30,390
Please.
1132
01:00:30,430 --> 01:00:32,240
You do not
love me anymore.
1133
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:34,810
(Christian copies Cyrano)
No, not anymore.
1134
01:00:35,530 --> 01:00:37,340
I love you evermore,
1135
01:00:38,150 --> 01:00:40,050
and evermore and more.
1136
01:00:41,190 --> 01:00:42,640
Oh, a little better.
1137
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,160
Love grows and struggles
like an angry child.
1138
01:00:48,710 --> 01:00:50,620
Breaking my heart.
1139
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,070
His cradle...
1140
01:00:53,110 --> 01:00:54,630
Better still.
1141
01:00:55,230 --> 01:00:57,390
But such a babe is dangerous.
1142
01:00:57,910 --> 01:01:00,140
Why not have
smothered it newborn?
1143
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:03,290
And so I do.
1144
01:01:03,650 --> 01:01:05,290
And yet he lives.
1145
01:01:06,340 --> 01:01:08,910
I found as you sha...
you shall find
1146
01:01:10,250 --> 01:01:14,400
this newborn babe...
and infant Hercules!
1147
01:01:14,900 --> 01:01:15,430
Good.
1148
01:01:15,460 --> 01:01:16,820
Strong enough at birth
1149
01:01:17,740 --> 01:01:19,600
to strangle
those two serpents
1150
01:01:20,010 --> 01:01:20,550
doubt and
1151
01:01:20,590 --> 01:01:21,090
<i>What?</i>
1152
01:01:21,250 --> 01:01:22,600
pride!
1153
01:01:23,410 --> 01:01:24,440
Why, very good.
1154
01:01:25,330 --> 01:01:27,880
Only, tell me why
you speak so haltingly.
1155
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,580
Has your imagination
gone....lame?
1156
01:01:33,260 --> 01:01:35,130
(Cyrano)
This grows too difficult.
1157
01:01:35,530 --> 01:01:38,320
Your words tonight
hesitate, why?
1158
01:01:38,630 --> 01:01:42,970
Through the warm summer gloom,
they grope in darkness
1159
01:01:43,170 --> 01:01:44,690
toward the light of you.
1160
01:01:46,010 --> 01:01:47,860
My words are
heavy with honey,
1161
01:01:47,900 --> 01:01:49,360
like returning bees.
1162
01:01:50,190 --> 01:01:52,310
Yet they must fly so high.
1163
01:01:52,530 --> 01:01:54,140
Come nearer then.
Stand you on the bench.
1164
01:01:54,170 --> 01:01:55,000
No.
1165
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:56,190
Then I'll come down.
1166
01:01:56,230 --> 01:01:57,110
NO!
1167
01:01:57,570 --> 01:01:59,380
And why so great a no?
1168
01:02:00,490 --> 01:02:02,920
Let me enjoy the one
moment I ever...
1169
01:02:03,710 --> 01:02:07,110
My one chance
to speak to you...unseen.
1170
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:08,290
Unseen?
1171
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:09,740
Yes. Yes.
1172
01:02:10,070 --> 01:02:12,380
Night making all things
dimly beautiful
1173
01:02:12,410 --> 01:02:13,770
one veil over us both.
1174
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,040
You need no eyes
to hear my heart.
1175
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:20,410
Oh, tonight, let it seem as if
I speak for the first time.
1176
01:02:21,150 --> 01:02:22,110
For the first time?
1177
01:02:22,140 --> 01:02:23,000
Yes.
1178
01:02:23,940 --> 01:02:25,780
Your voice, even,
is not the same.
1179
01:02:25,810 --> 01:02:26,990
How should it be.
1180
01:02:27,030 --> 01:02:28,450
I have another
voice tonight.
1181
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:31,250
My own, myself,... daring!
1182
01:02:31,610 --> 01:02:32,610
Why daring?
1183
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,600
Because, what am I, what is any man
would he dare ask for you?
1184
01:02:36,630 --> 01:02:40,780
Therefore my heart has hidden behind
poetic words and tinsel phrases.
1185
01:02:41,260 --> 01:02:43,640
But are they not sweet,
those pretty phrases?
1186
01:02:43,670 --> 01:02:45,630
Not enough sweet
for you and me tonight.
1187
01:02:47,530 --> 01:02:49,240
You never spoke
to me like this.
1188
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,510
I tell you, there comes
one moment, once,
1189
01:02:51,540 --> 01:02:53,800
and heaven help those
who pass that moment by,
1190
01:02:53,830 --> 01:02:56,110
when beauty stands
looking into the soul
1191
01:02:56,150 --> 01:03:01,810
with grave, sweet eyes,
that sicken at pretty words.
1192
01:03:02,650 --> 01:03:06,260
Yes...that is love.
1193
01:03:06,290 --> 01:03:07,010
Love.
1194
01:03:07,050 --> 01:03:09,260
A love beyond breath,
beyond reason,
1195
01:03:09,290 --> 01:03:11,590
beyond love's own
power of loving.
1196
01:03:11,630 --> 01:03:14,200
Your name is like a golden bell
hung in my heart,
1197
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:18,450
and when I think of you I tremble,
and the bell swings and rings,
1198
01:03:18,610 --> 01:03:28,580
Roxane! Roxane!
Along my veins...Roxane.
1199
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,970
Yes...that is love.
1200
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,770
(Cyrano)
Yes...that is love.
1201
01:03:36,090 --> 01:03:38,920
That wind of terrible
and jealous beauty,
1202
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:44,200
that dark fire,
that soaring, blinding music.
1203
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,690
Yet, you may take my happiness
to make you happier
1204
01:03:47,730 --> 01:03:49,410
even though you
never know I gave it to you.
1205
01:03:49,940 --> 01:03:55,700
Only let me hear, sometimes, all alone,
the distant laughter of your joy.
1206
01:03:56,740 --> 01:03:58,470
Do you begin
to understand a little?
1207
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,200
Can you feel my soul there
in the darkness breathe on you?
1208
01:04:03,230 --> 01:04:06,630
Oh, only tonight,
now I dare say these things.
1209
01:04:06,790 --> 01:04:09,400
I to you, and you hear them.
1210
01:04:10,030 --> 01:04:12,650
It is my voice, mine, my own
that makes you tremble
1211
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,390
there in the green gloom,
above me, for you do tremble
1212
01:04:15,430 --> 01:04:18,110
as a blossom among the leaves,
you tremble, and I can feel
1213
01:04:18,140 --> 01:04:19,670
all the way down along
this jasmine branch
1214
01:04:19,710 --> 01:04:23,700
whether you will unhold
the passion of you trembling.
1215
01:04:24,340 --> 01:04:25,960
Yes, I do tremble.
1216
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,880
And I weep, and I love you,
and I am yours,
1217
01:04:29,910 --> 01:04:31,720
and you have made me thus.
1218
01:04:36,710 --> 01:04:38,250
I have done this to you.
1219
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,380
I myself.
1220
01:04:44,970 --> 01:04:47,240
Only let me ask
one thing more.
1221
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:48,900
I want a kiss!
1222
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:52,080
You ask me for...
1223
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:53,060
I...yes.
1224
01:04:53,100 --> 01:04:54,260
That is to say...
1225
01:04:54,780 --> 01:04:55,770
I mean...
1226
01:04:56,140 --> 01:04:57,450
You've gone too far.
1227
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,370
If she's willing, why
not make the most of it?
1228
01:04:59,410 --> 01:05:04,270
I, I ask.
I know I ask too much.
1229
01:05:05,150 --> 01:05:06,420
Only one?
1230
01:05:07,550 --> 01:05:08,630
Is that all?
1231
01:05:09,150 --> 01:05:12,210
All?
How much more than all?
1232
01:05:12,250 --> 01:05:16,030
I know I startle you,
I...I ask, I ask you to refuse.
1233
01:05:16,070 --> 01:05:17,200
Why? Why? Why?
1234
01:05:17,230 --> 01:05:18,350
Christian, be quiet.
1235
01:05:18,390 --> 01:05:19,430
What is that your say?
1236
01:05:19,470 --> 01:05:21,810
I am angry with myself,
because I know I go too far
1237
01:05:21,850 --> 01:05:26,270
and so I say to myself,
CHRISTIAN, BE QUIET!
1238
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:28,300
Watch it, someone comes.
1239
01:05:36,390 --> 01:05:39,180
Well, sir, I am looking
for the house of madame Roxane Robin.
1240
01:05:39,220 --> 01:05:43,450
This is not the house. That way.
To the right. Keep to the right.
1241
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:44,330
I thank you sir.
1242
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,880
I shall say my beads for you
to the very last bead.
1243
01:05:49,340 --> 01:05:50,680
Win me that kiss?
1244
01:05:51,370 --> 01:05:52,070
No!
1245
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:53,780
Sooner or later.
1246
01:05:59,170 --> 01:06:00,510
So that is true.
1247
01:06:01,460 --> 01:06:07,540
Sooner or later must be so, because,
she is young, and you are handsome.
1248
01:06:09,170 --> 01:06:15,240
Since it must be, I'd rather be
myself the cause, if it must be.
1249
01:06:16,990 --> 01:06:19,620
(balcony window opens)
1250
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:24,660
Are you still there?
1251
01:06:24,690 --> 01:06:25,470
(Cyrano)
Yes.
1252
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:28,740
We were speaking of...
1253
01:06:30,090 --> 01:06:32,450
A kiss.
- A kiss.
1254
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,340
And what is a kiss
when all is done?
1255
01:06:34,930 --> 01:06:37,080
A vow taken before
the shrine of memory.
1256
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,650
A rosy dot
over the "i" of loving.
1257
01:06:39,790 --> 01:06:42,950
- A secret whisper
to listen if the past.
1258
01:06:42,980 --> 01:06:43,650
Shhh.
1259
01:06:43,690 --> 01:06:46,720
A moment free to mortal
with a rush of wing from Ceden.
1260
01:06:46,750 --> 01:06:48,220
A sacrament of blossoms.
1261
01:06:48,260 --> 01:06:53,250
A new song sung by two hearts
to an old, simple tune.
1262
01:06:53,290 --> 01:06:54,430
Hush.
1263
01:06:54,460 --> 01:06:56,050
Why? What shame?
1264
01:06:58,010 --> 01:07:01,310
No.
No shame.
1265
01:07:01,610 --> 01:07:02,770
Then come.
1266
01:07:03,550 --> 01:07:05,680
Gather your sacred blossoms.
1267
01:07:07,250 --> 01:07:09,230
Your moment made immortal.
1268
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:09,860
Climb!
1269
01:07:10,660 --> 01:07:12,300
- But, climb?
- Many more!
1270
01:07:22,410 --> 01:07:23,760
Roxane.
1271
01:07:33,870 --> 01:07:34,690
(sigh)
1272
01:07:36,090 --> 01:07:39,770
Ah, Roxane.
I have won what I have wanted.
1273
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:45,410
A feast of love,
and I am faint with hunger.
1274
01:07:48,110 --> 01:07:51,040
Yet, I have something here
that is mine now,...
1275
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,380
and was not mine before.
1276
01:07:54,220 --> 01:07:56,790
I spoke the words
that won her.
1277
01:07:57,890 --> 01:08:05,890
She kisses my words.
My words...upon his lips.
1278
01:08:07,230 --> 01:08:08,650
(gate opens)
1279
01:08:13,250 --> 01:08:14,670
What, dear Father,
lost your way again?
1280
01:08:14,710 --> 01:08:16,270
But, she lives here,
Madame Robin.
1281
01:08:16,300 --> 01:08:17,830
Oh, I thought
you said, Rolen?
1282
01:08:17,860 --> 01:08:19,850
No, r..o..b..i..n, Robin.
1283
01:08:19,890 --> 01:08:21,030
Oh, Robin, I see.
1284
01:08:21,070 --> 01:08:23,090
I'm too old
to chase wild geese
1285
01:08:23,130 --> 01:08:25,080
- my feet...
- Oh, what a shame,
1286
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,920
(knocking on door)
however, I'm sure there's someone at home.
1287
01:08:29,330 --> 01:08:30,120
(door opens)
1288
01:08:30,150 --> 01:08:30,860
What is it?
1289
01:08:30,890 --> 01:08:34,570
Yeah, I'm looking for
the young lady, Madam Rolen
1290
01:08:34,610 --> 01:08:35,840
Rolen?
1291
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:37,080
Robin!
1292
01:08:37,950 --> 01:08:40,050
Madame!
A letter for you.
1293
01:08:40,590 --> 01:08:42,070
Yes, yes, I heard.
1294
01:08:42,970 --> 01:08:43,650
Cyrano.
1295
01:08:43,690 --> 01:08:46,080
Uh, passing by cousin,
I saw this light.
1296
01:08:46,700 --> 01:08:50,330
Uh, some matter
profitable to the soul.
1297
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:52,550
A very noble lord gave it to me.
1298
01:08:52,750 --> 01:08:53,640
(Christian)
What is it?
1299
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,100
<i>My regiment has been
ordered to the front. </i>
1300
01:08:57,130 --> 01:08:59,490
<i>I cannot allow you
to delay any longer.</i>
1301
01:08:59,530 --> 01:09:01,820
<i>This simple old monk,
who knows nothing,</i>
1302
01:09:01,850 --> 01:09:04,190
<i>will marry us tonight.
My love, Antoine de Guiche.</i>
1303
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,110
(Roxane changes everything)
1304
01:09:07,150 --> 01:09:08,880
Father, this letter
concerns you.
1305
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,930
"Madame, the Cardinal
will have his way,
1306
01:09:13,970 --> 01:09:15,530
"although against your will.
1307
01:09:15,710 --> 01:09:18,150
"That is why I am
sending this to you,
1308
01:09:18,180 --> 01:09:20,470
"by a most holy man.
1309
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,160
"Intelligent, discreet.
1310
01:09:23,580 --> 01:09:26,660
"You will communicate
to him our order to perform
1311
01:09:26,900 --> 01:09:31,160
"here and at once
the rite of holy matrimony.
1312
01:09:32,570 --> 01:09:35,910
"You and Christian will be
married privately in your house.
1313
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,760
"Be resigned to the
Cardinal's command,
1314
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:41,930
"who sends herewith
his blessings.
1315
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,060
"Your very humble,
and etcetera..."
1316
01:09:44,940 --> 01:09:46,750
Oh, this is terrible.
1317
01:09:48,220 --> 01:09:49,850
Oh, you're to be
the, uh...
1318
01:09:49,890 --> 01:09:51,490
I am to be the bridegroom.
1319
01:09:53,950 --> 01:09:56,230
Uh, look here.
A postscript.
1320
01:09:56,780 --> 01:10:02,320
"Give to the monastery,
in my name 120 pieces of gold."
1321
01:10:02,350 --> 01:10:04,070
One hundred and twenty...
1322
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,530
Oh, a worthy lord.
A very worthy lord.
1323
01:10:09,470 --> 01:10:12,030
Daughter, resign yourself.
1324
01:10:12,070 --> 01:10:14,080
I am resigned.
1325
01:10:22,350 --> 01:10:24,500
The Guiche is coming, too.
Don't let him enter.
1326
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:25,730
Not let him enter?
1327
01:10:25,770 --> 01:10:27,790
Until we're married, please.
1328
01:10:28,610 --> 01:10:30,340
(door slams shut)
1329
01:10:44,330 --> 01:10:45,250
(Count)
What is that?
1330
01:10:45,340 --> 01:10:46,330
(Cyrano)
Me?
1331
01:10:46,370 --> 01:10:48,360
- Why, where did you come from?
- The moon.
1332
01:10:48,390 --> 01:10:49,330
- You...
- From the moon.
1333
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:50,690
I have just returned
from the moon.
1334
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:52,420
- The fellow's mad!
-Like a bomb, I tell you,
1335
01:10:52,460 --> 01:10:54,130
- I fell from the moon!
- Your feet must...
1336
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:55,450
- I say THE MOON!
1337
01:10:55,480 --> 01:10:57,580
- Very well, if you say so.
- Thank you.
1338
01:10:57,610 --> 01:10:58,610
- Raving mad.
1339
01:11:00,660 --> 01:11:02,850
- Where am I?
- My dear sir!
1340
01:11:02,890 --> 01:11:04,080
- What place is this?
What country?
1341
01:11:04,110 --> 01:11:06,170
- Please, let me pass.
- This face, good heavens!
1342
01:11:06,210 --> 01:11:08,710
Maul, a robber.
Where am I?
1343
01:11:08,750 --> 01:11:12,830
- A lady is waiting for me.
- Oh, this is Paris, huh?
1344
01:11:12,870 --> 01:11:13,620
You fool!
1345
01:11:13,650 --> 01:11:14,800
Dear old Paris.
1346
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,750
Excuse my appearance.
I arrived by the last thunderbolt.
1347
01:11:17,790 --> 01:11:19,970
A trifled singed
as I passed through the ether.
1348
01:11:20,470 --> 01:11:21,320
Monsieur!
1349
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:22,080
Sir?
1350
01:11:22,130 --> 01:11:23,750
That will do, now. I wish...
1351
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,600
I know, you wish to look for
my own list of nature for moons
1352
01:11:25,630 --> 01:11:27,820
and happiness and character
of it's surface, if any.
1353
01:11:27,850 --> 01:11:29,060
I desire no such thing, I...
1354
01:11:29,100 --> 01:11:30,060
Of course not.
1355
01:11:32,940 --> 01:11:34,330
You wish to know
by what mysterious
1356
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:35,570
means I reached the moon.
1357
01:11:35,610 --> 01:11:37,870
Well, a very secret affair of state,
1358
01:11:37,900 --> 01:11:41,770
but confidentially
a new invention of my own.
1359
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:43,190
Drunk, two ways.
Well a man..
1360
01:11:43,230 --> 01:11:46,050
Oh, no. In truth I have
my choice of several inventions.
1361
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:46,600
Uh?
1362
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:50,850
Yes, several ways
to violate the virgin sky.
1363
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:52,210
Several?
1364
01:11:52,250 --> 01:11:53,510
Several.
1365
01:11:53,540 --> 01:11:57,520
As, for instance, smoke
having a natural tendency to rise,
1366
01:11:57,550 --> 01:12:02,050
blow in a globe
enough to raise me.
1367
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:03,300
Yes, that makes one.
1368
01:12:03,330 --> 01:12:06,780
Again, I might construct a rocket
in the shape of a HUGE locust
1369
01:12:06,820 --> 01:12:10,810
driven by impulses up within
a saltpeter from the rear
1370
01:12:10,850 --> 01:12:14,050
and thus speed upwards,
like, thus!
1371
01:12:14,260 --> 01:12:15,260
Yes, another?
1372
01:12:15,290 --> 01:12:18,950
Finally, seated on an iron plate,
hurl a magnet into the air.
1373
01:12:18,980 --> 01:12:21,810
The iron follows.
I catch the magnet.
1374
01:12:21,850 --> 01:12:25,330
Throw it again, and
so proceed indefinitely.
1375
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,460
Excellent, and
which did you adopt?
1376
01:12:31,450 --> 01:12:32,370
Why none of them.
1377
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:34,350
Yet another.
1378
01:12:34,390 --> 01:12:35,740
Which was...?
1379
01:12:46,810 --> 01:12:47,500
Guess.
1380
01:12:47,860 --> 01:12:49,370
Ahhh, I can't!
1381
01:12:50,090 --> 01:12:51,100
Try.
1382
01:12:52,340 --> 01:12:53,980
Interesting idiot, this.
1383
01:13:05,350 --> 01:13:06,540
Have you guessed it yet?
1384
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:07,960
Why, no, what is it?
1385
01:13:13,780 --> 01:13:15,870
Alas, you will never know,
but no matter.
1386
01:13:15,910 --> 01:13:18,470
You are free and
they are bound in wedlock.
1387
01:13:18,510 --> 01:13:21,010
I drunk that voice,
and that nose, Cyrano!
1388
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:23,710
Cyrano. This very moment
they have exchanged vows.
1389
01:13:23,750 --> 01:13:24,460
Who?
1390
01:13:29,820 --> 01:13:31,530
My sincere compliments.
1391
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,900
You, also, my traveler in space.
1392
01:13:34,940 --> 01:13:37,800
My Lord, the heads of Capathieu
and Joyce have joined together.
1393
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:38,750
Quite so!
1394
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:44,160
Madame, kindly bid
your... husband farewell.
1395
01:13:44,190 --> 01:13:46,670
Your regiment leaves tonight, sir.
Report at once!
1396
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:49,320
But, the Cadets are not called.
1397
01:13:49,350 --> 01:13:51,850
They are, indeed, and
under my command.
1398
01:13:52,710 --> 01:13:55,080
Out there we may
have an accounting.
1399
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:58,130
Somehow, that news
fails to disquiet me.
1400
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,190
Here are the orders.
Baron, deliver this.
1401
01:14:02,500 --> 01:14:03,650
Christian!
1402
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,660
The bridal night
is not so near.
1403
01:14:10,090 --> 01:14:13,400
Somehow that news
fails to disquiet me.
1404
01:14:17,710 --> 01:14:19,340
Baron, you have your orders.
1405
01:14:36,270 --> 01:14:37,530
Farewell, Roxane.
1406
01:14:38,290 --> 01:14:40,490
Take care of him, for me.
Promise me never to let him
1407
01:14:40,530 --> 01:14:41,400
do anything dangerous.
1408
01:14:41,430 --> 01:14:42,890
I will do my best.
I cannot promise.
1409
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:44,970
I thought you brave always.
Make him be careful.
1410
01:14:45,010 --> 01:14:46,070
Yes, yes, I'll try.
1411
01:14:46,110 --> 01:14:47,840
Be sure to keep him
warm and dry!
1412
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:49,150
Yes, if possible.
1413
01:14:49,190 --> 01:14:51,820
Have him write to me
every single day!
1414
01:14:51,860 --> 01:14:54,090
That, I promise you.
1415
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,970
(the war with Spain)
1416
01:15:40,820 --> 01:15:41,540
Halt!
1417
01:16:03,370 --> 01:16:03,920
Uh!
1418
01:16:13,930 --> 01:16:18,590
(Madame Baroness de Neuvillette,
Rue Marais No. 12, Paris)
1419
01:16:46,610 --> 01:16:48,170
The situation
is simple, gentlemen.
1420
01:16:48,420 --> 01:16:53,340
We have besieged Arras.
The Prince of Spain has besieged us.
1421
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,960
Consequently, we
are surrounded.
1422
01:16:56,050 --> 01:16:58,920
- A fine war. Where
the besiegers are besieged
1423
01:16:58,950 --> 01:17:00,020
and starve to death.
1424
01:17:00,060 --> 01:17:01,990
Yes, but the Marshal has
devised a brilliant plan
1425
01:17:02,030 --> 01:17:03,480
for bringing in food
this very night.
1426
01:17:03,510 --> 01:17:04,460
Now, see here.
1427
01:17:04,500 --> 01:17:06,240
Spare us the details, Colonel.
1428
01:17:06,270 --> 01:17:08,820
Merely inform us
when the food arrives.
1429
01:17:08,860 --> 01:17:11,380
True, we are hungry.
But why blame me?
1430
01:17:11,700 --> 01:17:13,320
I'm only your Colonel.
1431
01:17:14,700 --> 01:17:16,910
Oh, yes, I know
you disprove of me.
1432
01:17:17,020 --> 01:17:18,940
Call me courtier, politician.
1433
01:17:19,430 --> 01:17:22,080
Well, I can afford you little hates.
1434
01:17:22,110 --> 01:17:24,730
My conduct under fire
is well known.
1435
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,170
It was only yesterday
I repelled a Spanish attack.
1436
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,070
Pouring my men down
like an avalanche.
1437
01:17:29,250 --> 01:17:30,710
I, myself lead the charge.
1438
01:17:30,900 --> 01:17:33,330
- And your white scarf?
(through a cannon barrel)
1439
01:17:33,370 --> 01:17:34,130
Cyrano!
1440
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:39,140
And your white scarf?
1441
01:17:39,150 --> 01:17:40,480
Eh, you heard that episode?
1442
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:44,110
Yes, I was so far in advance
I was in danger of being captured.
1443
01:17:44,180 --> 01:17:46,570
But I thought quickly,
took off and flung away
1444
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,290
the scarf that marked
my military rank.
1445
01:17:48,420 --> 01:17:51,150
And so being inconspicuous
escaped among my own force,
1446
01:17:51,410 --> 01:17:54,250
rallied them, returned,
and won the day.
1447
01:17:54,290 --> 01:17:55,500
What do you say to that?
1448
01:17:55,540 --> 01:17:58,550
Still, enough that is not likely
to resign the privilege of being a target.
1449
01:17:58,580 --> 01:18:01,690
How pleasant for you
that you are denied that privilege.
1450
01:18:01,730 --> 01:18:03,650
Pleasant?
Lend me your scarf.
1451
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:05,570
With your permission I shall
lead the first charge tonight
1452
01:18:05,610 --> 01:18:06,890
wearing it over my shoulder.
1453
01:18:06,930 --> 01:18:07,720
What bluster.
1454
01:18:07,750 --> 01:18:09,630
You're safe making that offer,
and you know it.
1455
01:18:09,670 --> 01:18:12,620
My scarf lies on the
river bank between the lines.
1456
01:18:12,650 --> 01:18:15,560
A spot swept by artillery.
Impossible to reach alive.
1457
01:18:15,700 --> 01:18:16,700
Yes.
1458
01:18:16,730 --> 01:18:20,500
(displays the Colonel's scarf)
1459
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:22,410
Here.
1460
01:18:22,580 --> 01:18:24,590
(laughter)
1461
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:26,500
Thank you.
1462
01:18:28,180 --> 01:18:31,000
This bit of white is
what I need to make a signal.
1463
01:18:31,820 --> 01:18:33,360
I was hesitating.
1464
01:18:33,940 --> 01:18:35,720
You have decided me.
1465
01:18:41,370 --> 01:18:43,010
- Stand or I'll fire!
- Hold you fire.
1466
01:18:43,050 --> 01:18:44,650
There's a man down
there running away.
1467
01:18:44,690 --> 01:18:46,700
Yes, a Spaniard.
1468
01:18:47,440 --> 01:18:50,310
But very useful as a spy
to both sides.
1469
01:18:51,270 --> 01:18:52,480
As I was about
to tell you.
1470
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,100
The Marshal has withdrawn
more than half our forces here.
1471
01:18:55,140 --> 01:18:57,190
Fortunately, the Spaniards
do not know that.
1472
01:18:57,230 --> 01:19:00,470
Oh, yes, they do now,
and they will attack tonight.
1473
01:19:00,510 --> 01:19:02,240
At this point.
1474
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:04,520
Your revenge, eh?
1475
01:19:04,550 --> 01:19:06,670
I make not great
pretense in loving you.
1476
01:19:06,770 --> 01:19:10,170
But since you gentlemen
esteem yourselves invincible,
1477
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,710
the bravest of the brave,
and all that.
1478
01:19:12,750 --> 01:19:14,120
Why need we be personal.
1479
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,710
The Marshal needs
a diversion, and I serve him
1480
01:19:16,740 --> 01:19:19,040
in choosing as I chose.
1481
01:19:19,210 --> 01:19:21,440
As you can see, Captain,
the great thing is to gain time.
1482
01:19:21,470 --> 01:19:23,070
To hold until the Marshal returns.
1483
01:19:23,180 --> 01:19:24,980
- And to gain time?
1484
01:19:25,490 --> 01:19:31,370
You will all be so kind
as to lay down your lives.
1485
01:19:39,610 --> 01:19:40,700
Christian?
1486
01:19:40,740 --> 01:19:41,400
Yes.
1487
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:46,130
Roxane?
1488
01:19:46,940 --> 01:19:49,260
I should like to say
farewell to her
1489
01:19:49,290 --> 01:19:51,580
with my whole
heart for her to keep.
1490
01:19:53,630 --> 01:19:55,610
I have taken the liberty of...
1491
01:19:58,580 --> 01:20:03,760
(the first letter
Christian is aware of)
1492
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:05,110
But, wait.
1493
01:20:07,270 --> 01:20:08,180
This little spot.
1494
01:20:08,620 --> 01:20:09,360
Spot?
1495
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:10,100
Yes.
1496
01:20:10,470 --> 01:20:11,550
A tear.
1497
01:20:13,500 --> 01:20:14,210
Is nothing.
1498
01:20:14,250 --> 01:20:16,860
A poet while he writes
is like a lover in his lady's arms,
1499
01:20:16,890 --> 01:20:19,060
believing his imagination,
everything seems real.
1500
01:20:19,090 --> 01:20:20,710
There's half the charm
of writing.
1501
01:20:21,230 --> 01:20:24,000
Now, I made this letter
so pathetic, that,
1502
01:20:24,030 --> 01:20:27,290
while I was writing it,
I wept.
1503
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:28,110
You wept?
1504
01:20:28,650 --> 01:20:31,590
Why, yes, because
it is a little thing to die,
1505
01:20:32,500 --> 01:20:36,710
but not to see her,...
that is terrible.
1506
01:20:37,700 --> 01:20:41,890
I shall never...,
you will never...
1507
01:20:42,480 --> 01:20:43,690
Give me that.
1508
01:20:45,190 --> 01:20:48,500
- Halt. Who goes there.
- On the service of the King.
1509
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:01,330
- The King!
- Fall in...
1510
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:11,620
Good evening.
1511
01:21:11,650 --> 01:21:13,540
On the King's service, you?
1512
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:25,850
- Gentlemen,...
- What are you doing here?
1513
01:21:25,890 --> 01:21:28,300
- We heard rumors at home
you were hungry,
1514
01:21:28,340 --> 01:21:29,810
- so we came prepared.
1515
01:21:29,850 --> 01:21:34,500
The Spaniards adored the fare,
but they missed the fowl!
1516
01:21:34,530 --> 01:21:37,560
(soldiers clamor for food)
1517
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:47,020
But why did you come here
into this, this danger?
1518
01:21:47,060 --> 01:21:49,420
They said in Paris
there was no fighting.
1519
01:21:50,450 --> 01:21:53,620
Besides, it was your own fault.
1520
01:22:01,410 --> 01:22:03,770
Think of the
letters you have written me.
1521
01:22:04,050 --> 01:22:06,510
How many times!
Every day!
1522
01:22:06,550 --> 01:22:07,680
Every day?
1523
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:08,820
Of course.
1524
01:22:08,980 --> 01:22:11,560
And each one
more wonderful than the last.
1525
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:14,820
All this, for a few absurd love letters.
1526
01:22:14,860 --> 01:22:18,050
Hush. Absurd?
Your letters...no, never.
1527
01:22:19,030 --> 01:22:22,730
Every one was like hearing your voice
that night in the dark. Remember?
1528
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:26,590
Like your arms around me.
I read them over and over.
1529
01:22:26,630 --> 01:22:30,420
Every page was like
a petal fallen from you soul.
1530
01:22:30,460 --> 01:22:33,350
Like the light
and the fire of a great love.
1531
01:22:33,390 --> 01:22:36,020
- Sweet and strong and true.
- Sweet.
1532
01:22:36,180 --> 01:22:37,280
Strong.
1533
01:22:37,590 --> 01:22:38,490
True?
1534
01:22:41,570 --> 01:22:43,090
Oh, my Christian.
1535
01:22:43,690 --> 01:22:46,420
I came here to ask forgiveness.
1536
01:22:47,660 --> 01:22:49,380
It is time to be forgiven.
1537
01:22:49,860 --> 01:22:51,950
Now, when we
may die so soon.
1538
01:22:53,780 --> 01:22:55,380
Forgive me for being
light and vain
1539
01:22:55,410 --> 01:22:57,570
and loving you only
because you were handsome.
1540
01:22:57,600 --> 01:22:59,230
- For now...
- Now?
1541
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:01,940
I love you for yourself.
1542
01:23:02,350 --> 01:23:04,090
For what you are.
1543
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:05,340
Roxane.
1544
01:23:05,910 --> 01:23:09,000
How you must have suffered.
For you saw how frivolous I was.
1545
01:23:09,030 --> 01:23:11,300
And to be loved
for the mere costume,
1546
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,090
for the poor, casual
body you went about in.
1547
01:23:14,750 --> 01:23:17,620
To a soul like yours,
that must have been torture.
1548
01:23:17,650 --> 01:23:18,390
No.
1549
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:23,140
I understand.
1550
01:23:23,790 --> 01:23:25,930
You cannot perfectly
believe in me,
1551
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:27,530
a...a love like this...
1552
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:29,090
I want no love like this.
1553
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,020
I want love only for...
1554
01:23:31,050 --> 01:23:33,090
Only for what every
woman sees in you.
1555
01:23:33,700 --> 01:23:35,030
I can to better than that.
1556
01:23:35,060 --> 01:23:37,240
No, it...it was best before.
1557
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,090
You do not
altogether know me.
1558
01:23:40,540 --> 01:23:42,260
I was a child.
1559
01:23:42,350 --> 01:23:43,650
I'm a woman now.
1560
01:23:44,250 --> 01:23:46,720
- If...if you were less handsome,
- No.
1561
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:50,130
unattractive, ugly even,
I should love you, still.
1562
01:23:50,770 --> 01:23:51,900
Do you mean that?
1563
01:23:52,510 --> 01:23:53,750
I do mean that.
1564
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:55,020
Ugly?
1565
01:23:55,100 --> 01:23:56,200
Even then.
1566
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:58,050
Now, are you happy?
1567
01:24:03,470 --> 01:24:04,650
Yes.
1568
01:24:04,690 --> 01:24:05,500
What is it?
1569
01:24:06,190 --> 01:24:08,690
Nothing, only, Cyrano...
1570
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:10,830
Cyrano.
1571
01:24:12,050 --> 01:24:14,090
he has something
to tell you.
1572
01:24:16,180 --> 01:24:17,200
Where are you going?
1573
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:20,690
I...will...return...in a moment.
1574
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:30,050
Cyrano.
1575
01:24:30,650 --> 01:24:32,480
Your wife, sir,
she goes with me?
1576
01:24:32,510 --> 01:24:33,340
No, sir, she remains.
1577
01:24:33,380 --> 01:24:34,670
There is still time
for her to escape.
1578
01:24:34,710 --> 01:24:35,640
She stays!
1579
01:24:36,030 --> 01:24:36,790
Very well.
1580
01:24:36,820 --> 01:24:38,950
Someone give me a musket.
I stay here also.
1581
01:24:39,420 --> 01:24:40,640
Sir, you show courage.
1582
01:24:40,670 --> 01:24:42,890
What, shall I run away,
and leave a woman?
1583
01:24:43,450 --> 01:24:45,320
Colonel, my compliments, sir.
1584
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:47,810
What of Roxane?
1585
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:48,470
Wait.
1586
01:24:49,350 --> 01:24:50,860
Well, what is it?
You look so...
1587
01:24:52,830 --> 01:24:54,580
She does not love me.
1588
01:24:54,990 --> 01:24:57,310
- You think not?
- She loves you.
1589
01:24:57,340 --> 01:24:59,630
- No.
- She loves only my soul.
1590
01:24:59,660 --> 01:25:00,370
- No.
- Yes!
1591
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:03,140
That means you.
And you love her.
1592
01:25:03,170 --> 01:25:05,300
- I?
- I see. I know.
1593
01:25:05,340 --> 01:25:08,310
You wrote her,
everyday, every day!
1594
01:25:08,820 --> 01:25:10,030
- Perfectly simple.
- Simple?
1595
01:25:10,060 --> 01:25:11,700
For a month,
we've been blockaded here.
1596
01:25:11,740 --> 01:25:13,340
How did you send
all those letters?
1597
01:25:13,370 --> 01:25:14,500
Before daylight
I managed...
1598
01:25:14,530 --> 01:25:16,070
To face death
everyday.
1599
01:25:16,820 --> 01:25:17,950
You love her.
1600
01:25:19,020 --> 01:25:20,190
Yes.
1601
01:25:26,950 --> 01:25:27,890
Tell her so.
1602
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:29,250
- No.
- Why not?
1603
01:25:29,350 --> 01:25:32,290
Why?
Look at me.
1604
01:25:32,590 --> 01:25:35,420
She would love me
if I were ugly.
1605
01:25:35,990 --> 01:25:38,820
- She said that?
- Yes. Now, go to her.
1606
01:25:40,090 --> 01:25:42,410
Nonsense. Do not
believe any such madness.
1607
01:25:42,440 --> 01:25:44,730
Go back to her.
You never will be ugly.
1608
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:45,810
Go!
It is you she loves.
1609
01:25:45,850 --> 01:25:46,870
That is what
we shall see.
1610
01:25:46,900 --> 01:25:47,840
No, no!
1611
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:49,480
- Let her chose between us.
- No.
1612
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:51,510
- Tell her everything.
- Why do you torture me?
1613
01:25:51,550 --> 01:25:54,700
Shall I ruin your happiness,
because I was born with a pretty face?
1614
01:25:54,740 --> 01:25:57,210
Am I to ruin yours,
because I happen to have power
1615
01:25:57,250 --> 01:25:58,750
to say what you perhaps feel?
1616
01:25:58,780 --> 01:26:00,910
- Tell her!
- Don't drive me too far!
1617
01:26:00,950 --> 01:26:03,210
- I'm tired of being my own rival.
- Hard to know.
1618
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:05,470
My secret marriage, that
can be annulled, I expect.
1619
01:26:05,500 --> 01:26:07,790
I want her love
for the poor fool than I am,
1620
01:26:07,860 --> 01:26:09,020
or not at all.
1621
01:26:09,390 --> 01:26:12,090
Oh, I'm going through with this.
I'll know one way or the other.
1622
01:26:12,870 --> 01:26:15,280
Now, go!....Tell her.
1623
01:26:15,480 --> 01:26:16,790
Let her chose one of us.
1624
01:26:17,570 --> 01:26:18,780
It will be you.
1625
01:26:19,670 --> 01:26:21,330
I hope so.
1626
01:26:33,070 --> 01:26:33,820
- Captain!
1627
01:26:36,570 --> 01:26:38,100
The Spanish fires are going out.
1628
01:26:41,030 --> 01:26:42,160
It begins.
1629
01:26:42,220 --> 01:26:44,140
I need a scout. Where's Cyrano.
1630
01:26:44,490 --> 01:26:45,280
Captain.
1631
01:26:45,850 --> 01:26:46,740
Let me go.
1632
01:26:46,780 --> 01:26:49,490
No, my boy, Cyrano knows
the terrain. He knows their lines.
1633
01:26:49,530 --> 01:26:51,550
So do I.
Please, allow me.
1634
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:56,070
Very well.
We must know from which
1635
01:26:56,110 --> 01:26:58,810
direction the advance comes.
Their weight and numbers.
1636
01:26:58,840 --> 01:26:59,560
I understand.
1637
01:27:11,940 --> 01:27:12,780
Roxane.
1638
01:27:13,430 --> 01:27:14,450
Cyrano.
1639
01:27:14,480 --> 01:27:15,930
Christian thinks...
1640
01:27:17,470 --> 01:27:19,190
Christian thinks you
ought to know that...
1641
01:27:19,220 --> 01:27:20,240
But I do know.
1642
01:27:20,770 --> 01:27:22,850
He still doubts what I
just told him, just now.
1643
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:23,860
I saw that.
1644
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:27,560
Yes, but,...was it true,
what you told him just now?
1645
01:27:27,590 --> 01:27:28,900
It was true.
1646
01:27:28,990 --> 01:27:32,270
I said that I should love him,
even if he were....
1647
01:27:33,020 --> 01:27:34,580
The word comes
hard before me?
1648
01:27:37,420 --> 01:27:38,860
Say it, I shall
not be hurt.
1649
01:27:39,370 --> 01:27:40,620
Ugly?
1650
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:42,130
Even, then
I should love him.
1651
01:27:43,500 --> 01:27:44,690
Disfigured.
1652
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:45,870
Or disfigured.
1653
01:27:46,480 --> 01:27:49,620
Even....grotesque.
1654
01:27:49,650 --> 01:27:51,350
How could he
every be grotesque,
1655
01:27:51,810 --> 01:27:52,950
ever to me?
1656
01:27:52,990 --> 01:27:55,580
But, you could love him so,
as much as?
1657
01:27:55,610 --> 01:27:56,790
Yes, and more.
1658
01:27:57,320 --> 01:27:58,320
Roxane...
1659
01:27:58,350 --> 01:27:59,300
(gunshot)
1660
01:27:59,340 --> 01:28:00,260
What is it?
1661
01:28:01,550 --> 01:28:02,600
Are they fighting?
1662
01:28:05,250 --> 01:28:06,510
What is happening?
1663
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:08,010
- The Spaniards advance,
1664
01:28:08,940 --> 01:28:09,930
but there is time.
1665
01:28:10,480 --> 01:28:12,370
- Where is Christian?
- At the parapet.
1666
01:28:12,820 --> 01:28:13,890
Oh, of course.
1667
01:28:14,930 --> 01:28:16,750
What is it
that you wish to tell me?
1668
01:28:16,780 --> 01:28:18,140
Roxane,...
1669
01:28:18,810 --> 01:28:21,690
believe me this is difficult,
and for once I lack words.
1670
01:28:24,690 --> 01:28:26,330
Christian asked me to...
1671
01:28:26,440 --> 01:28:27,850
He told me...
1672
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:38,220
Christian!
1673
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:42,970
To your places, gentlemen.
1674
01:28:43,970 --> 01:28:45,130
Is he dead?
1675
01:28:45,170 --> 01:28:46,260
No, but dying.
1676
01:28:46,300 --> 01:28:47,660
I will not let him!
1677
01:28:51,870 --> 01:28:54,530
Cyrano...did you?
1678
01:28:54,570 --> 01:28:56,610
Yes, my friend.
I have told her.
1679
01:28:58,350 --> 01:28:59,450
She loves you.
1680
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:02,190
Roxane.
1681
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:03,570
Yes, my darling.
1682
01:29:06,020 --> 01:29:07,320
Christian!
1683
01:29:08,170 --> 01:29:09,370
He is not dead?
1684
01:29:10,930 --> 01:29:11,830
Yes.
1685
01:29:12,310 --> 01:29:13,640
(gasp)
1686
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:22,890
Time you must go, now.
1687
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:25,860
Really, he is dead.
1688
01:29:25,890 --> 01:29:27,740
No one else
knew him but you.
1689
01:29:28,250 --> 01:29:29,630
Was he not a hero?
1690
01:29:29,670 --> 01:29:30,700
Yes, Roxane.
1691
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:33,340
A heart deeper
than we knew.
1692
01:29:33,380 --> 01:29:34,930
Yes, Roxane.
1693
01:29:35,010 --> 01:29:39,310
A poet.
A soul magnificently tender.
1694
01:29:41,750 --> 01:29:43,660
Yes, Roxane.
1695
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:46,740
But he is dead now.
1696
01:29:48,390 --> 01:29:50,030
(collapses sobbing)
1697
01:29:50,070 --> 01:29:51,230
Why, so am I.
1698
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:55,060
For I am dead
and my love mourns for me
1699
01:29:55,100 --> 01:29:56,550
and does not know.
1700
01:29:58,190 --> 01:29:59,530
Will never know.
1701
01:29:59,570 --> 01:30:00,990
(rapid gunfire)
1702
01:30:01,030 --> 01:30:02,410
(bugle calls)
1703
01:30:03,030 --> 01:30:04,030
Take her away quickly.
1704
01:30:05,670 --> 01:30:06,500
Wait.
1705
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:09,220
A letter over his heart.
1706
01:30:11,490 --> 01:30:12,850
(sobbing)
1707
01:30:16,740 --> 01:30:18,460
I have two deaths
to avenge, now,
1708
01:30:19,090 --> 01:30:22,670
Christian's...and my own.
1709
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:42,210
(fighting becomes intense)
1710
01:30:43,330 --> 01:30:46,820
(the Spanish army advances)
1711
01:30:49,450 --> 01:30:50,280
Fire!
1712
01:31:00,270 --> 01:31:02,810
Surrender or you die!
1713
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:51,720
(de Guiche)
Look! The signal!
1714
01:32:59,940 --> 01:33:00,940
Ah!
1715
01:33:07,070 --> 01:33:09,610
We fought. We died.
We fought again.
1716
01:33:09,750 --> 01:33:12,760
Who are these men who are
so fond of death, one Spaniard cried.
1717
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:14,440
On and on, they came.
1718
01:33:14,570 --> 01:33:17,210
Then, when all seemed lost,
we heard the trumpets
1719
01:33:17,250 --> 01:33:19,850
of our returning troops.
The battle was ours!
1720
01:33:20,690 --> 01:33:24,050
Ah, you have been fortunate,
Ms. de Bergerac, you have lived!
1721
01:33:24,090 --> 01:33:28,870
While we, we waste our youth.
There is no war and not hope for any.
1722
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:30,880
No hope for any?
1723
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:34,220
My fellow, I just realize,
we are both fools.
1724
01:33:34,630 --> 01:33:37,550
But mine is the greater folly,
for I am an older fool.
1725
01:33:38,170 --> 01:33:42,320
What is more......
Everything I told you was a lie.
1726
01:33:47,550 --> 01:33:49,680
Another satire
for the Gazette?
1727
01:33:49,710 --> 01:33:50,410
Yes.
1728
01:33:50,820 --> 01:33:53,480
Another glove flung
in the face of power?
1729
01:33:53,650 --> 01:33:55,400
Oh, why do you
do it, Cyrano?
1730
01:33:55,430 --> 01:33:57,860
- Why do you attack...
- Stupidity?
1731
01:33:57,880 --> 01:34:01,180
Deceit? Corruption?
I'm too old to change.
1732
01:34:01,370 --> 01:34:03,980
I'm an old dog
with nothing left but his teeth.
1733
01:34:04,010 --> 01:34:06,580
Ah, but teeth can be pulled.
That can be painful.
1734
01:34:10,440 --> 01:34:14,580
That insolent wretch.
That scoundrel de Bergerac.
1735
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:17,180
This time he's gone too far.
I swear it.
1736
01:34:17,210 --> 01:34:18,790
He's signed his death warrant.
1737
01:34:19,950 --> 01:34:21,730
And who will deliver it?
1738
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:25,040
His sword is still very
powerful, my friend.
1739
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:27,230
There are may ways
a man can die.
1740
01:34:27,990 --> 01:34:29,550
Who knows?
1741
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:31,430
He may meet
with an accident.
1742
01:34:32,550 --> 01:34:33,570
Soon.
1743
01:34:35,100 --> 01:34:38,710
(church chimes)
1744
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:46,060
But, uh, tell me, Madame.
1745
01:34:46,180 --> 01:34:50,830
How long will you continue
to remain here, forever in mourning?
1746
01:34:51,670 --> 01:34:52,570
Forever.
1747
01:34:53,060 --> 01:34:55,080
Was Christian all that?
1748
01:34:55,770 --> 01:34:57,400
If you knew him
you would not ask.
1749
01:34:57,950 --> 01:35:00,150
His last letter
is still in my heart.
1750
01:35:00,820 --> 01:35:04,770
And, uh, Cyrano?
Do you see him often?
1751
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:09,240
Every week. My old friend
takes the place of my Gazette.
1752
01:35:09,620 --> 01:35:11,320
He brings me all the news.
1753
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:14,940
Every Saturday under
that tree out there.
1754
01:35:14,980 --> 01:35:17,070
I wait for him embroidering.
1755
01:35:17,430 --> 01:35:20,240
The hour strikes.
I need not turn to look.
1756
01:35:20,570 --> 01:35:24,070
At the last stroke,
I hear his cane tapping the walk.
1757
01:35:24,100 --> 01:35:26,430
His satires have made
him many enemies.
1758
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:29,740
But, they still fear
that sword of his.
1759
01:35:30,330 --> 01:35:32,130
No one dare touch him.
1760
01:35:32,510 --> 01:35:33,670
Hm, that may be so.
1761
01:35:35,620 --> 01:35:38,160
It is not violence
I fear for him,
1762
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:42,560
but solitude, poverty.
Old gray Decembers
1763
01:35:42,590 --> 01:35:45,350
stealing on wolf's feet
into his darkened room.
1764
01:35:46,010 --> 01:35:48,230
It seems to me he's
worn the same old coat
1765
01:35:48,260 --> 01:35:49,610
for many months, now.
1766
01:35:49,650 --> 01:35:51,740
Eh, that is nothing
strange in this world.
1767
01:35:51,780 --> 01:35:53,820
You need not pity
him overmuch.
1768
01:35:53,860 --> 01:35:56,930
He lives his life,
his own life his own way,
1769
01:35:56,970 --> 01:36:00,300
thought, word and deed free.
1770
01:36:00,450 --> 01:36:01,610
My Lord Duke.
1771
01:36:01,750 --> 01:36:05,860
Oh, yes, I know.
I have all. He has nothing.
1772
01:36:06,370 --> 01:36:12,170
Nevertheless, today,
I should be proud to shake his hand.
1773
01:36:12,350 --> 01:36:14,000
Ah, well, adieu.
1774
01:36:14,670 --> 01:36:16,300
Will I ever see you again?
1775
01:36:16,340 --> 01:36:17,970
Come whenever you like.
1776
01:36:18,010 --> 01:36:19,610
Then, you have forgiven me.
1777
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:21,680
I am here.
1778
01:36:22,950 --> 01:36:25,380
Do you know?
When a man wins
1779
01:36:25,420 --> 01:36:29,750
everything in this world,
when he succeeds too much,
1780
01:36:29,790 --> 01:36:34,190
he feels, somehow,
a thousand small displeasures
1781
01:36:34,230 --> 01:36:38,560
with himself, whose whole sum
is not quite remorse
1782
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:45,570
but rather a sort of vague
disgust, dry illusions, pained regrets.
1783
01:36:45,870 --> 01:36:48,730
Yes, now and then,
I envy your Cyrano.
1784
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:50,860
The sentiment
does you honor.
1785
01:36:50,890 --> 01:36:52,250
(chuckling)
1786
01:36:59,350 --> 01:37:04,280
Madame, I must tell you,
it is true that no one has yet
1787
01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:06,490
dared to attack
your friend Cyrano.
1788
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:11,380
Nevertheless, at the theater
last night, I heard some things.
1789
01:37:12,260 --> 01:37:13,720
Keep him at home all you can.
1790
01:37:14,090 --> 01:37:17,330
Tomorrow when you see him,
tell him to be careful.
1791
01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:19,130
I thank you.
1792
01:37:32,050 --> 01:37:33,140
(Cyrano)
Good night, Ragueneau.
1793
01:37:33,180 --> 01:37:35,120
(Ragueneau)
Cyrano, you not leaving?
1794
01:37:35,150 --> 01:37:37,030
You will not have
dinner here with me?
1795
01:37:37,060 --> 01:37:38,860
(Cyrano)
My regrets. I have a magnificent
1796
01:37:38,900 --> 01:37:42,450
roast waiting for me, a rare wine,
a gift from my publisher.
1797
01:37:42,490 --> 01:37:43,890
(Ragueneau)
Fine, to be sure.
1798
01:37:44,650 --> 01:37:47,490
Uh, have you seen
Moliere's new play?
1799
01:37:47,530 --> 01:37:48,160
No.
1800
01:37:48,340 --> 01:37:49,650
Heh, ah, well....
1801
01:37:49,690 --> 01:37:50,580
What is it?
1802
01:37:50,610 --> 01:37:51,460
Well, he...
1803
01:37:51,500 --> 01:37:52,250
Speak.
1804
01:37:52,290 --> 01:37:55,220
He stole a scene
from you, word for word.
1805
01:37:55,250 --> 01:37:57,140
You know, "What the devil
was he doing there?"
1806
01:37:57,170 --> 01:37:57,730
That one.
1807
01:37:57,770 --> 01:37:59,040
He stole it, bodily.
1808
01:37:59,070 --> 01:38:01,300
Well, he showed
good taste.
1809
01:38:01,340 --> 01:38:03,020
It, uh, played well?
1810
01:38:03,060 --> 01:38:05,450
Oh, beautifully. They
laughed and laughed.
1811
01:38:05,480 --> 01:38:06,810
Oh, how they laughed.
1812
01:38:07,250 --> 01:38:08,560
Moliere has genius.
1813
01:38:09,370 --> 01:38:11,010
Christian had good looks.
1814
01:38:12,170 --> 01:38:13,610
With me, it was
always thus.
1815
01:38:16,050 --> 01:38:17,240
Good night, my friend.
1816
01:38:32,340 --> 01:38:32,950
(man)
Hold, there.
1817
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:33,950
(man)
You!
1818
01:38:35,650 --> 01:38:36,850
(Cyrano)
Are you addressing me?
1819
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:38,990
Yes, you, Monsieur
of the long nose.
1820
01:38:39,100 --> 01:38:40,000
Insolence.
1821
01:38:40,290 --> 01:38:41,990
- Foulmouthed scribbler.
- What?
1822
01:38:42,020 --> 01:38:43,440
- Lair, plagiarist!
- Liar.
1823
01:38:47,910 --> 01:38:49,660
(whistling to wagon)
1824
01:39:08,630 --> 01:39:10,920
(driver whips horses)
1825
01:39:27,570 --> 01:39:28,490
Doctor.
1826
01:39:29,930 --> 01:39:31,260
Why pretend?
1827
01:39:31,550 --> 01:39:32,910
It is very grave.
1828
01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:35,500
Keep him quiet
at all costs.
1829
01:39:35,540 --> 01:39:38,500
If he attempts
to rise, he will die.
1830
01:39:38,540 --> 01:39:39,810
Shhhh.
1831
01:39:43,220 --> 01:39:43,930
Thank you.
1832
01:39:44,980 --> 01:39:47,240
(door closes)
1833
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:55,820
(gate bell rings)
1834
01:39:59,820 --> 01:40:01,490
(gate opens)
1835
01:40:01,530 --> 01:40:03,170
Monsieur.
1836
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:03,860
Ah, Sister.
1837
01:40:09,810 --> 01:40:10,880
(gasp)
1838
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:12,350
What is the matter
with you?
1839
01:40:14,480 --> 01:40:15,900
Shall I tell you
something, Sister?
1840
01:40:16,540 --> 01:40:20,470
Yesterday, Friday, mind you,
I ate meat again.
1841
01:40:21,930 --> 01:40:23,000
Yes, I know.
1842
01:40:23,350 --> 01:40:25,080
That is why you
are so pale.
1843
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:27,930
Please come to me
to the refectory before you go.
1844
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,250
I'll make you a great
bowl of hot soup.
1845
01:40:30,280 --> 01:40:31,630
Of course, of course.
1846
01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:33,950
You're quite reasonable today.
1847
01:40:33,990 --> 01:40:36,120
Perhaps you'll convert me.
1848
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:38,260
Oh, no! Not for the world.
1849
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:40,690
Why, now I think of it,
that is so.
1850
01:40:41,070 --> 01:40:44,560
You, bursting with holiness,
and yet you never preach.
1851
01:40:45,470 --> 01:40:46,760
Astonishing.
1852
01:40:47,060 --> 01:40:49,100
And now I shall astonish you.
1853
01:40:49,690 --> 01:40:54,110
I'm going to let you
pray for me tonight, at Vespers.
1854
01:40:55,830 --> 01:40:58,700
Absolutely struck dumb, eh?
1855
01:41:02,550 --> 01:41:05,180
I did not wait for you
to say I might.
1856
01:41:14,930 --> 01:41:17,450
Now may the devil admire
me if never hope to see
1857
01:41:17,490 --> 01:41:19,570
the end of that embroidery.
1858
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:23,440
After 14 years,
late for the first time.
1859
01:41:23,480 --> 01:41:26,550
Yes.
Yes, maddening.
1860
01:41:27,330 --> 01:41:31,480
I was detained by
a visitor. Most unexpected.
1861
01:41:32,150 --> 01:41:33,660
An old friend of mine.
1862
01:41:34,540 --> 01:41:36,830
At least a very
old acquaintance.
1863
01:41:36,870 --> 01:41:38,320
Did you tell him
to go away?
1864
01:41:38,980 --> 01:41:40,410
For the time being, yes.
1865
01:41:40,440 --> 01:41:45,270
I said excuse me,
I see that it's Saturday,
1866
01:41:45,620 --> 01:41:48,200
I have a previous
engagement.
1867
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:49,620
One I cannot miss.
1868
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:52,340
Even for you.
1869
01:41:53,250 --> 01:41:55,310
Come back an hour from now.
1870
01:41:55,420 --> 01:41:59,170
Your friend will have to wait.
I shall not let you go till dark.
1871
01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:04,970
Perhaps a little before dark,
I must go.
1872
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:09,080
Oh, then tell me now
the court news. My Gazette.
1873
01:42:10,390 --> 01:42:14,190
Ah, yes, well, let me see.
1874
01:42:16,350 --> 01:42:20,840
Saturday, 19th, the King
fell ill after eight helpings of
1875
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:22,170
grape marmalade.
1876
01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:26,320
Grape marmalade will
no longer be served at court.
1877
01:42:28,190 --> 01:42:33,010
Sunday, the royal pulse
is now normal.
1878
01:42:34,630 --> 01:42:37,930
Monday, everyone was
talking about the success
1879
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:39,600
of Moliere's new play.
1880
01:42:40,830 --> 01:42:46,110
Tuesday, the King fell ill
after six helpings of marone glacee.
1881
01:42:47,910 --> 01:42:50,130
Marone glacee will no
longer be served at court.
1882
01:42:51,710 --> 01:42:55,700
Wednesday, the Compte de Firske
spoke to Madame de Monte Glas.
1883
01:42:56,500 --> 01:42:59,380
She said....no.
1884
01:43:01,480 --> 01:43:07,450
Thursday.... Nothing.
1885
01:43:07,490 --> 01:43:10,580
Friday, Madame de Monte Glas
said yes.
1886
01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:18,800
Saturday, 25th....
1887
01:43:19,450 --> 01:43:20,520
Cyrano!
1888
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:24,010
What is it?
Cyrano!
1889
01:43:28,660 --> 01:43:31,300
- Oh, no, no, it is nothing.
- What?
1890
01:43:31,750 --> 01:43:34,200
The old wound at Arras
sometimes...
1891
01:43:34,230 --> 01:43:36,980
- My poor friend.
- No, no, no, it is nothing.
1892
01:43:37,830 --> 01:43:39,350
It will soon be gone.
1893
01:43:41,010 --> 01:43:44,990
(gasp) There. 'Tis gone.
1894
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:48,480
We all have
our old wounds.
1895
01:43:49,020 --> 01:43:53,920
I have mine here,
under this faded scrap of writing.
1896
01:43:55,380 --> 01:43:57,340
It's hard to read now.
1897
01:43:58,370 --> 01:44:01,340
All for the blots
and tears.
1898
01:44:01,370 --> 01:44:02,560
His letter?
1899
01:44:03,480 --> 01:44:06,650
Did you not promise me,
that someday you would let me read it?
1900
01:44:07,090 --> 01:44:12,350
- This letter? You wish...?
- I do wish it....today.
1901
01:44:22,650 --> 01:44:24,230
Open it and read.
1902
01:44:49,700 --> 01:44:54,660
"Farewell, Roxane,
because today I die."
1903
01:44:54,690 --> 01:44:56,000
Aloud?
1904
01:44:57,180 --> 01:45:00,150
"I know that it will be today,
my own dearly beloved.
1905
01:45:01,630 --> 01:45:04,900
"Yet, my heart still so heavy
with love I have not told.
1906
01:45:06,440 --> 01:45:11,330
"And I shall die without telling you.
1907
01:45:11,900 --> 01:45:15,740
"No more shall my eyes
drink the sight of you like wine,
1908
01:45:16,230 --> 01:45:19,180
"never more with a look
that is a kiss,
1909
01:45:19,740 --> 01:45:22,430
"follow the sweet
grace of you."
1910
01:45:22,470 --> 01:45:24,400
How you read it.
His letter.
1911
01:45:24,440 --> 01:45:26,300
"I remember now the way you have
1912
01:45:26,340 --> 01:45:30,280
"of pushing back a lock of hair
with one hand from your forehead,
1913
01:45:30,860 --> 01:45:33,270
- "and my heart cries out..."
- His letter!
1914
01:45:33,310 --> 01:45:35,000
- "cries out and keeps crying."
1915
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:38,240
- You read it so...
- "Farewell, my dear, my dearest,"
1916
01:45:38,270 --> 01:45:40,650
- In a voice...
- "my own heart's own,"
1917
01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:44,230
- "my own treasure,"
- In such a voice!
- "my...love."
1918
01:45:44,260 --> 01:45:47,140
Yes, I remember hearing long ago.
1919
01:45:47,490 --> 01:45:52,210
"I am never away from you.
Even now I shall not leave you.
1920
01:45:53,110 --> 01:45:56,360
"In another world, I shall
still be that one who loves you,
1921
01:45:56,390 --> 01:46:00,110
"loves you beyond measure,
beyond..."
1922
01:46:09,180 --> 01:46:11,130
But, how can you read it now?
1923
01:46:14,420 --> 01:46:17,810
And all those 14 years
he has been the old friend
1924
01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:19,650
who came to me to be amusing.
1925
01:46:20,930 --> 01:46:23,170
- Roxane.
- It was you.
1926
01:46:23,910 --> 01:46:24,880
No, no, Roxane, no.
1927
01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:28,100
And I might have know it every time
that I heard you speak my name.
1928
01:46:28,130 --> 01:46:31,690
- No, it was not I.
- It was you!
- I swear.
1929
01:46:32,460 --> 01:46:34,810
- The letters. That was you.
- No.
1930
01:46:35,140 --> 01:46:38,960
- And the dear foolish words.
That was you.
- No.
1931
01:46:39,190 --> 01:46:43,290
- And the voice in the dark.
That was you.
- On my honor!
1932
01:46:43,330 --> 01:46:47,170
And the soul.
It was all you.
1933
01:46:47,270 --> 01:46:49,180
I never loved you.
1934
01:46:49,350 --> 01:46:50,850
Yes, you loved me.
1935
01:46:50,970 --> 01:46:52,740
Even now you love me.
1936
01:46:53,660 --> 01:46:55,610
(gasp)
No!
1937
01:46:55,650 --> 01:46:57,920
And twice you're great to know.
1938
01:46:57,950 --> 01:47:00,760
Oh, no, no, my own dear love,
I love you not.
1939
01:47:03,340 --> 01:47:05,840
Why were you silent
for so many years?
1940
01:47:06,580 --> 01:47:07,860
All the while.
1941
01:47:08,090 --> 01:47:11,110
Every night, and every day,
he gave me nothing.
1942
01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:13,120
You knew that.
1943
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:16,680
You knew in that letter
lying on my breast.
1944
01:47:17,940 --> 01:47:19,230
Your tears.
1945
01:47:20,580 --> 01:47:22,770
You knew they
were your tears.
1946
01:47:26,390 --> 01:47:28,270
The blood was his.
1947
01:47:29,370 --> 01:47:30,200
Cyrano!
1948
01:47:32,690 --> 01:47:34,320
Here! He's here.
1949
01:47:34,490 --> 01:47:36,270
Oh, what recklessness.
1950
01:47:36,310 --> 01:47:36,570
No.
1951
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:37,430
I knew it!
1952
01:47:37,490 --> 01:47:40,440
- Oh Madame he has killed
himself coming here.
- No. Shh.
1953
01:47:40,700 --> 01:47:42,220
That drink is, what is it?
1954
01:47:42,290 --> 01:47:45,510
Nothing. I did not
finish my Gazette.
1955
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:49,970
Saturday, 26th, an hour
or so before dinner
1956
01:47:50,540 --> 01:47:55,340
Ms. de Bergerac died,
foully murdered.
1957
01:47:55,690 --> 01:47:57,470
Cyrano, what have
they done to you?
1958
01:47:57,600 --> 01:47:59,540
How fate loves a jest.
1959
01:47:59,980 --> 01:48:03,000
Behold me ambushed,
taken unawares.
1960
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:08,830
My noble foe, a lackey.
My battlefield, a gutter.
1961
01:48:09,490 --> 01:48:10,950
It seems too logical.
1962
01:48:11,370 --> 01:48:13,040
They have missed everything,
1963
01:48:13,820 --> 01:48:15,290
even my death.
1964
01:48:16,330 --> 01:48:17,950
Sisters! Sisters!
1965
01:48:17,990 --> 01:48:21,350
No, do not go away.
I may not be here when you return.
1966
01:48:22,030 --> 01:48:23,760
You shall not die.
1967
01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:25,460
(sobbing)
I love you.
1968
01:48:25,490 --> 01:48:27,410
No, my lady,
it's not in the story.
1969
01:48:28,100 --> 01:48:29,900
When beauty said
I love you to the beast
1970
01:48:29,930 --> 01:48:32,990
all his ugliness changed
and dissolved, like magic.
1971
01:48:33,550 --> 01:48:37,370
But, you see,
I am still the same.
1972
01:48:37,440 --> 01:48:39,430
And I have
done this to you.
1973
01:48:39,470 --> 01:48:40,620
You? Why no.
1974
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:42,060
All my fault, mine!
1975
01:48:42,100 --> 01:48:43,320
On the contrary.
1976
01:48:44,060 --> 01:48:47,080
I have never know womanhood
in its sweetness, but for you.
1977
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:50,750
My mother did not
like to look at me.
1978
01:48:52,050 --> 01:48:53,530
I never had a sister.
1979
01:48:54,880 --> 01:49:01,130
Later, I feared those sweethearts
with mockery behind her smile.
1980
01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:06,150
But, because of you,
I have had across my life
1981
01:49:06,930 --> 01:49:10,600
one whispering, silken gown.
1982
01:49:12,780 --> 01:49:15,200
I never loved but
one man in my life.
1983
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:18,680
I have lost him, twice.
1984
01:49:19,660 --> 01:49:23,540
(sobbing)
1985
01:49:23,570 --> 01:49:27,890
I would not have you mourning
any less that good, noble Christian.
1986
01:49:28,980 --> 01:49:32,570
But, perhaps, I ask only this,
1987
01:49:34,100 --> 01:49:36,370
when the great cold
gathers around my bones,
1988
01:49:37,770 --> 01:49:42,590
you may give a double
meaning to your widow's weeds.
1989
01:49:43,910 --> 01:49:50,900
The tears you let fall for him,
may for a little, be my tears.
1990
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:53,040
Oh, my love!
1991
01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:58,400
No, not here.
Not lying down.
1992
01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:01,300
Let no one help me.
No one need help me.
1993
01:50:06,310 --> 01:50:07,430
It is coming.
1994
01:50:08,260 --> 01:50:11,460
I feel already shod with marble.
1995
01:50:12,720 --> 01:50:13,950
Gloved with lead.
1996
01:50:14,730 --> 01:50:16,700
Very well,
let the old fellow come now.
1997
01:50:17,190 --> 01:50:19,600
He shall find me
on my feet.
1998
01:50:21,670 --> 01:50:23,120
Sword in hand.
1999
01:50:23,160 --> 01:50:24,110
Cyrano!
2000
01:50:24,500 --> 01:50:25,890
He'd delirious.
2001
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:28,000
I see him now.
2002
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:28,700
He grins.
2003
01:50:28,740 --> 01:50:30,750
He is looking at my nose!
2004
01:50:30,790 --> 01:50:31,820
That skeleton.
2005
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:33,730
You there.
2006
01:50:33,970 --> 01:50:34,670
Who are you?
2007
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:36,950
A hundred against one, eh?
2008
01:50:37,300 --> 01:50:40,020
I know them now,
my ancient enemies.
2009
01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:40,960
Falsehood, there!
2010
01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:42,470
There, Prejudice!
2011
01:50:42,490 --> 01:50:44,100
Compromise, Cowardice.
2012
01:50:44,580 --> 01:50:47,160
What's that?
Surrender? No, never!
2013
01:50:47,190 --> 01:50:48,430
Never!
2014
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:50,820
Ah, you too, Vanity.
2015
01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:54,180
I knew you would
overthrow me in the end.
2016
01:50:54,210 --> 01:50:57,310
No, I fight, I fight on,
I fight....ow!
2017
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:01,000
(gasping)
2018
01:51:06,540 --> 01:51:08,550
All my laurels
you have riven away.
2019
01:51:10,290 --> 01:51:11,770
And my roses.
2020
01:51:12,940 --> 01:51:15,600
Yet, in spite of you,
there is one crown
2021
01:51:15,630 --> 01:51:16,980
I made away with me.
2022
01:51:17,020 --> 01:51:20,380
And tonight when I
enter before God,
2023
01:51:21,850 --> 01:51:27,140
my salute shall sweep away
the stars from the blue threshold.
2024
01:51:28,310 --> 01:51:33,240
One thing without stain,
unspotted from the world,
2025
01:51:34,240 --> 01:51:40,610
in spite of doom, mine own,
...and that is...
2026
01:51:43,220 --> 01:51:51,220
my...white...plume...

In seventeenth-century Paris, poet and supreme swordsman Cyrano de Bergerac (José Ferrer) stops a play from being shown because he ostensibly cannot stand the bombastic style of the principal actor, Montfleury (Arthur Blake). An annoyed aristocratic fop, the Vicomte de Valvert (Albert Cavens), provokes him into a duel by tritely insulting Cyrano's enormous nose. Cyrano first mocks his lack of wit, improvising numerous inventive ways in which Valvert could have phrased it (much to the amusement of the audience). He then composes a ballade for the occasion on the spot and recites it during the sword fight. With the last line, he stabs his opponent.
Cyrano's friend Le Bret (Morris Carnovsky), Captain of the Gascony Guards, warns him he has made powerful enemies of his victim's friends, but he is unconcerned. When Le Bret presses him to reveal the real reason he hates Montfleury, Cyrano admits that he became jealous when he saw the actor smiling at his beautiful cousin Roxane (Mala Powers). He confesses that he is in love with her, but harbors no hope of it being returned because of his nose. When he receives a request from Roxane to see her in the morning, he is finally emboldened to act.
Then pastry chef and fellow poet Ragueneau (Lloyd Corrigan) approaches him for help. Ragueneau has learned that a nobleman he had mocked with his verses, the Comte De Guiche (Ralph Clanton), has hired a hundred ruffians to teach him a lesson. Cyrano escorts him, kills eight of the horde, and drives off the rest.
The next day, before he can tell Roxane of his feelings, she informs him that she has fallen in love with a handsome guardsman, Christian de Neuvillette (William Prince), though she has not even spoken to him. Cyrano hides his devastation and agrees to help her.
Cyrano befriends the young man, who is in Cyrano's guards' unit, and discovers that he is infatuated with Roxane, but is too inept with words to woo her. To help him, Cyrano composes Christian's love letters to Roxane, which she finds irresistible. Later, Christian decides he wants no more help and tries to speak to Roxane face to face, but fails miserably and she re-enters her house in an angry huff. Cyrano, hiding in the bushes, comes to his rescue, but this time by imitating Christian's voice and speaking to Roxane from under her balcony. He is so eloquent that he (unintentionally) wins a kiss for Christian from Roxane.
When the arrogant Comte De Guiche, who is also wooing Roxane, pressures her to marry him, Cyrano delays him long enough for her to wed Christian instead. Furious, De Guiche, Christian's commander, orders him to join his unit immediately for a war against the Spanish, preventing the couple from spending their wedding night together.
With Cyrano under his command as well, De Guiche earns the swordsman's respect by his conduct in the war. From the field, Cyrano sends Roxane letters every day, supposedly written by Christian. Roxane visits her husband in camp and tells him that she now has fallen in love with him not merely for his looks but because of his words, and would love him even if he were ugly. Realizing that she really loves Cyrano, Christian gets his rival to agree to tell Roxane the truth and let her decide between them. But before the opportunity arises, Christian volunteers for a dangerous mission and is fatally wounded, silencing Cyrano.
Roxane enters a convent in mourning. Years pass, with Cyrano visiting Roxane weekly, having retired from the military and writing satirical articles mocking the nobility. De Guiche, who has also befriended her and has come to respect Cyrano, has overheard a courtier plotting against Cyrano. De Guiche warns Roxane that Cyrano's life may be in danger. One night, Cyrano is lured into an ambush; the poet is run down by a carriage. Near death, he hides his injuries and goes to keep his appointment with Roxane for the last time. His secret love for Roxane is finally revealed when he recites from memory the last of his love letters, which she has kept, but it is too late. Cyrano first slips into delirium, then dies, leaving Roxane to mourn a second time.

00:02:37,660 --> 00:02:41,460
- Clown! The king of clowns!
Leave the stage at once!
7
00:02:43,970 --> 00:02:44,620
- Who is it?
8
00:02:44,650 --> 00:02:47,570
It's Cyrano.
I was afraid he'd do this.

<i>Thrice happy he

11
00:02:57,940 --> 00:02:59,260
- Let's be quiet.
- Quiet!
12
00:03:00,190 --> 00:03:01,380

- Donkeys say rather Hee-Haw!
16
00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:17,790
Begone! Or must I come and
help you off the stage myself?
17
00:03:21,130 --> 00:03:24,000
What! Still there?

00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:28,220
<i>Where balmy zephyrs

19
00:03:28,250 --> 00:03:32,050
Fat swine, if you dare breathe

20
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,640
I'll fan your cheeks
for you!
21
00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:36,480
Monsieur, won't you all
protect me?
22
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,090
- Proceed, proceed.
- Go on.
23
00:03:38,130 --> 00:03:40,880
Sir, I will not allow you
to insult me in this manner.
24
00:03:40,910 --> 00:03:43,520
Really?
What manner would you prefer?
25
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:44,850
Quiet, down there!
26
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,940
- We'll tolerate
no more of this.
27
00:03:47,870 --> 00:03:49,720
Go on with the play,
Montfleury.

My cousin, sir.
33
00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:04,710
Well, Montfleury,
still no exit?
34
00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:06,930
- Very well then,
I enter
35
00:04:06,970 --> 00:04:11,740
with knife, to carve
this fat, stuffed goose.
36
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:14,800

I pray, do not crowd
my scabbard here.

00:04:22,210 --> 00:04:24,320
She may put her
tongue out at you.

00:04:29,870 --> 00:04:30,990
Silence.

00:04:31,910 --> 00:04:33,830
I say be silent!
43
00:04:35,450 --> 00:04:38,260
And I offer one universal
challenge to you all:
44
00:04:38,460 --> 00:04:41,410
Will all who wish to die,
please raise their hands.
45
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,360
Approach, young heroes.
I will take your names.
46
00:04:45,140 --> 00:04:47,830
To the first man who falls
I'll build a monument.
47
00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:49,710
Who will head the list?
48
00:04:50,010 --> 00:04:50,780
You, sir?
49
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,000
No.
50
00:04:52,830 --> 00:04:53,610
You?
51
00:04:54,470 --> 00:04:55,170
No, no.
52
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,770
Anyone?
53
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,600
Anyone at all?
54
00:05:01,110 --> 00:05:03,550
Not one...name?
55
00:05:04,260 --> 00:05:06,420
Not one finger?
56
00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:10,260
Very well then,
I go on.
57
00:05:16,130 --> 00:05:18,810
Attend to me, Full Moon.
58
00:05:21,340 --> 00:05:24,190
I clap my hands three times, thus.
59
00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:26,740
(three claps)
60
00:05:26,770 --> 00:05:30,320
At the third, you will...
eclipse yourself.
61
00:05:30,490 --> 00:05:31,390
Ready!
62
00:05:32,110 --> 00:05:32,910
One.
63
00:05:34,010 --> 00:05:34,900
(clap)
64
00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:36,070
How dare you.
65
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:37,210
I demand!
66
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,070
I insist.
67
00:05:38,110 --> 00:05:40,150
- I call upon all the nobles...
- Two!
68
00:05:41,010 --> 00:05:42,080
(clap)
69
00:05:42,110 --> 00:05:43,090
This is an outrage.
70
00:05:43,130 --> 00:05:44,040
You hear, an outrage.
71
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:46,620
Nothing on earth
will move me from this stage.
72
00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:48,800
Three!
73
00:05:49,570 --> 00:05:49,910
(clap)
74
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:55,410
(laughter)
75
00:05:56,260 --> 00:05:59,210
Fair ladies and noble gentlemen...
- Boo!
76
00:05:59,250 --> 00:06:02,560
(laughter)
77
00:06:02,950 --> 00:06:04,210
But, Monsieur de Bergerac,
78
00:06:04,250 --> 00:06:07,490
why have you done this
to our Montfleury, an admirable actor?
79
00:06:07,530 --> 00:06:10,090
I have two reasons,
either one conclusive.
80
00:06:10,670 --> 00:06:12,800
First, he is an
abominable actor,
81
00:06:12,830 --> 00:06:15,870
who mouths his verse
and moans his tragedy.
82
00:06:16,350 --> 00:06:17,630
Second,....
83
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:20,970
Well, that's my secret.
84
00:06:22,530 --> 00:06:25,280
But...
But you've closed the play!
85
00:06:25,310 --> 00:06:26,880
It is not a very good play.
86
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:28,970
Huh!
And of their money?
87
00:06:29,010 --> 00:06:31,080
Possibly you would like
that returned to these good people.
88
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:31,960
Yes?
89
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,360
Yes.
90
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:35,830
Here,...catch!
91
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:37,920
(crowd murmurs)
92
00:06:38,410 --> 00:06:41,960
Well, Monsieur, you are hereby
authorized to close our play every night.
93
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,200
On these terms.
94
00:06:43,230 --> 00:06:43,740
(laughter)
95
00:06:43,780 --> 00:06:46,400
Ladies and gentlemen,
your money will be returned.
96
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,250
Kindly pass out, quietly.
97
00:06:48,290 --> 00:06:50,030
Goodnight, goodnight.
98
00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:53,220
(crowd accepts
in good spirits)
99
00:06:55,740 --> 00:06:57,120
(until...)
100
00:06:59,530 --> 00:07:02,610
Your cousin is an
extraordinary man, Madame.
101
00:07:02,650 --> 00:07:04,080
Oh, I agree.
102
00:07:04,410 --> 00:07:08,550
Soldier, poet, philosopher,
musician, playwright.
103
00:07:08,580 --> 00:07:09,570
All those?
104
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,360
Yes, and the best
swordsman in Paris.
105
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,310
Really?
106
00:07:14,340 --> 00:07:17,060
Now, I should have thought
the Vicomte here had that honor.
107
00:07:17,310 --> 00:07:21,360
Tell me, Madame, that
comic mask, that nose,
108
00:07:21,390 --> 00:07:23,300
presently he will take it off?
109
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:25,950
No, Monsieur, he keeps it.
110
00:07:26,450 --> 00:07:29,350
And heaven help
the man who smiles.
111
00:07:29,850 --> 00:07:31,060
Good night.
112
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,880
Oh, Monsieur!
113
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,980
Monsieur!
114
00:07:40,020 --> 00:07:42,710
Uh, when do you leave Paris?
115
00:07:43,210 --> 00:07:44,100
Sir?
116
00:07:44,250 --> 00:07:46,280
Why, after what you've
just done to Montfleury,
117
00:07:46,310 --> 00:07:48,750
did you not know that
the Compte de Guiche was his patron?
118
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:50,190
Who's yours?
119
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:52,140
No one.
120
00:07:52,170 --> 00:07:52,940
No one?
121
00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:53,870
No patron?
122
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:54,630
I said not.
123
00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:56,900
But the Compte de Guiche
has a long arm.
124
00:07:56,930 --> 00:07:58,900
Mine is longer
by three feet of steel.
125
00:07:59,530 --> 00:08:00,180
Yes, but..
126
00:08:00,860 --> 00:08:02,160
but, what a scare...
127
00:08:02,190 --> 00:08:02,990
You may go now.
128
00:08:03,020 --> 00:08:04,510
- but...
- You may go.
129
00:08:05,810 --> 00:08:08,620
Well, tell me,
why are you staring at my nose?
130
00:08:08,650 --> 00:08:10,160
Oh, I was not staring.
131
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:11,630
Does it astonish you?
132
00:08:11,660 --> 00:08:13,920
Why n...Why no, I've been careful
not to look.
133
00:08:13,950 --> 00:08:15,510
Oh, and why not, if you please?
134
00:08:15,550 --> 00:08:16,730
It disgusts you, then?
135
00:08:16,770 --> 00:08:17,880
But, no, I just...
136
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,700
Does its color appear
to you unwholesome?
137
00:08:19,730 --> 00:08:20,480
By no means.
138
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,310
Then, possibly you find it
just a trifle large?
139
00:08:22,340 --> 00:08:24,500
No, small, very small, tiny!
140
00:08:24,530 --> 00:08:25,640
Infinitesimal!
141
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,960
What?
You accuse me of absurdity?
142
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,730
Small, my nose?
Why magnificent, my nose!
143
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,900
You pug, you knob,
you button head,
144
00:08:34,930 --> 00:08:37,170
know that I glory
in this nose of mine!
145
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,400
For a great nose
indicates a great man,
146
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:45,440
congenial, courteous,
intellectual, virile, courageous.
147
00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:48,050
Whilst that face of yours,
148
00:08:48,370 --> 00:08:54,070
that blank, inglorious concavity
which my right hand finds on top of you,
149
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:59,630
is as devoid of pride, of poetry,
of soul, of picturesqueness,
150
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:04,810
of contour, of character,
of nose, in short,
151
00:09:04,850 --> 00:09:09,740
as that which is at the bottom of
that limp spine of yours my left foot...
- Oh, help!
152
00:09:09,780 --> 00:09:11,550
(laughter)
153
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:13,840
Presently, this fellow
will grow tiresome.
154
00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:16,590
Oh, he blows his horn.
155
00:09:17,330 --> 00:09:19,800
- Well, will no one
put him in his place?
156
00:09:20,270 --> 00:09:22,660
If you would all me.
Observe.
157
00:09:25,090 --> 00:09:31,260
Monsieur, your nose,
your nose is rather large.
158
00:09:34,450 --> 00:09:35,400
Rather?
159
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,350
Oh, well.
160
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:37,620
Is that all?
161
00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:38,540
Well, of course, you...
162
00:09:38,570 --> 00:09:40,400
Ah, no young sir, you're too simple.
163
00:09:40,430 --> 00:09:42,620
Why, you might have
said a great many things.
164
00:09:42,650 --> 00:09:44,800
Why waste your opportunity?
165
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:45,860
For example, thus...
166
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:47,450
Aggressive---
167
00:09:47,490 --> 00:09:51,040
I, sir, if that great nose were mine,
I would have it amputated on the spot.
168
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:52,710
Practical---
169
00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:56,570
How do you drink with such a nose.
You must have had a cup made especially.
170
00:09:56,850 --> 00:09:57,880
Descriptive---
171
00:09:57,910 --> 00:10:00,570
'Tis a rock, a crag, a cape.
172
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,510
A cape, say rather, a peninsula.
173
00:10:05,890 --> 00:10:06,990
Inquisitive---
174
00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:11,400
Uh, what is that receptacle,
a razor case or a portfolio?
175
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,680
Kindly---
176
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,840
Ah, do you love the little birds so much
that when they come and sing to you,
177
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,690
you give them this to perch on?
178
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,570
Cautious---
179
00:10:20,610 --> 00:10:24,120
Take care. A weight like that
might make you top-heavy.
180
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,250
Eloquent---
181
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,510
When it blows the typhoon howls
and the clouds darken.
182
00:10:29,580 --> 00:10:30,400
Dramatic---
183
00:10:30,430 --> 00:10:34,690
When it bleeds...the Red Sea.
184
00:10:35,540 --> 00:10:36,530
Simple---
185
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:39,640
Eh, when do they
unveil the monument?
186
00:10:40,020 --> 00:10:40,900
Military---
187
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:43,510
Beware, a secret weapon!
188
00:10:44,290 --> 00:10:45,620
Enterprising---
189
00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:48,080
What a sigh for some perfumer!
190
00:10:48,490 --> 00:10:49,300
Respectful---
191
00:10:49,330 --> 00:10:52,050
Uh sir, I recognize in you
a man of parts,
192
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,740
a man of...prominence.
193
00:10:54,770 --> 00:10:56,500
Or, Literary---
194
00:10:56,530 --> 00:10:59,360
Was this the nose
that launched a thousand ships?
195
00:11:00,010 --> 00:11:02,850
These, my dear sir, are things
you might have said had you
196
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,690
some tinge of letters or of wit
to color your discourse.
197
00:11:05,810 --> 00:11:07,970
Bit wit not so.
You never had an atom.
198
00:11:08,270 --> 00:11:14,480
And of letters, you need
but three to write you down, a..s..s.
199
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:16,530
Ass.
200
00:11:16,570 --> 00:11:18,040
- (laughter)
- You, sir!
201
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,600
Dolt! Bumpkin! Fool!
202
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:26,620
How do you do, and I,
Cyrano Savinien Hercule de Bergerac.
203
00:11:26,650 --> 00:11:28,050
Vicomte, come.
204
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,650
Such arrogance.
This scarecrow who...
205
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:31,850
Look at him!
206
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,120
No ribbons. No lace.
Not even gloves!
207
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,700
True. I carry my adornments
only on my soul.
208
00:11:39,740 --> 00:11:41,860
Decked with deeds
instead of ribbons.
209
00:11:41,890 --> 00:11:43,420
Mantled in my good name,
210
00:11:43,460 --> 00:11:45,350
and crowned with a
white plume of freedom.
211
00:11:45,380 --> 00:11:46,130
But..
212
00:11:46,170 --> 00:11:47,510
But, I have no gloves.
213
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:48,630
A pity, too.
214
00:11:48,670 --> 00:11:51,630
I had one, the last one of an old pair,
and lost that.
215
00:11:51,660 --> 00:11:53,250
Very careless of me.
216
00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:55,750
Some gentleman offered me
an impertinence.
217
00:11:55,790 --> 00:11:59,840
I left it in his face.
218
00:11:59,870 --> 00:12:00,840
So be it!
219
00:12:02,110 --> 00:12:05,050
You shall die exquisitely
220
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,160
Oh, a poet.
221
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,640
Oh, yes, a poet if you will.
222
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:11,510
So, uh, while we fight,
I'll improvise a ballad for you,
223
00:12:11,540 --> 00:12:15,270
and as I end the refrain,
...skhrch!...thrust home.
224
00:12:15,310 --> 00:12:16,280
Will you?
225
00:12:17,180 --> 00:12:18,130
I will.
226
00:12:21,820 --> 00:12:23,420
(excited crowd)
227
00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:26,890
Ballad au Duel
at the Theatre de Burgoyne
228
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,320
between de Bergerac,
and uh.....a barbarian.
229
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,240
What do you mean by that?
230
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,000
Oh, that?
231
00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:34,960
The title.
232
00:12:34,990 --> 00:12:36,570
(laughter)
233
00:12:36,610 --> 00:12:38,200
Stop. Let me choose my rhyme.
234
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:47,640
So. Here we go.
235
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:50,070
Lightly I toss my hat away.
236
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:55,440
Languidly o'er my arm let fall
the cloak that covers my bright array.
237
00:12:55,510 --> 00:13:00,770
Then, out swords,
and to work withal.
238
00:13:02,660 --> 00:13:05,720
A Lancelot in his lady's hall,
239
00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:10,580
A Spartacus at the Hippodrome,
240
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,340
I dally a while with you..
241
00:13:13,380 --> 00:13:14,750
you jackall.
242
00:13:32,810 --> 00:13:34,360
Just as I end the refrain,
243
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,380
thrust home!
244
00:13:51,290 --> 00:13:54,220
Where shall I skewer my peacock again?
245
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,160
Nay, better for you
to have shunned this brawl.
246
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,010
Here in the heart
or your ribbons, gay,
247
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,610
in the belly
'neath you silken shawl?
248
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,130
Now, come my points floats,
light as the foam
249
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,640
ready to drive you
back to the wall,
250
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:20,030
and then as I end the refrain,
251
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,440
thrust home.
252
00:14:21,930 --> 00:14:23,210
Oh, for a rhyme.
253
00:14:23,580 --> 00:14:25,060
Why, your fight is fading.
254
00:14:25,420 --> 00:14:26,040
You break.
255
00:14:26,350 --> 00:14:26,970
You cower.
256
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:27,600
You cringe.
257
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:28,200
You crawl.
258
00:14:29,310 --> 00:14:30,740
How can I tell
you're allowed to say
259
00:14:30,780 --> 00:14:31,750
something to turn on my head
260
00:14:31,790 --> 00:14:32,720
forestall.....
261
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:33,660
Life with a tunny
262
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:34,970
death with a scall.
263
00:14:35,010 --> 00:14:36,760
Something to turn on my fancy roam,
264
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,670
free for a time till the rhyme's recall,
265
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,620
then as I end the refrain,
266
00:14:40,650 --> 00:14:41,620
thrust home!
267
00:14:43,810 --> 00:14:44,670
Refrain.
268
00:14:45,550 --> 00:14:48,960
Prince,
pray God that is Lord of all,
269
00:14:48,990 --> 00:14:50,840
pardon you soul,
270
00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:54,190
for your time has come.
271
00:14:56,860 --> 00:14:58,820
Pass! I fling you aslant, asprawl.
272
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:00,590
Then as I end the refrain,
273
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,680
thrust home!
274
00:15:41,820 --> 00:15:45,390
(shouts of hurray
and congratulation)
275
00:15:47,130 --> 00:15:49,470
Ladies and gentlemen,
please, please,
276
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:50,790
not until the performance is over.
277
00:15:51,070 --> 00:15:51,980
Close the house.
278
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:52,820
A strike,
279
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,340
but leave the lights.
280
00:15:54,380 --> 00:15:56,070
We rehearse the new
farce tonight.
281
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,240
Wait.
282
00:16:04,110 --> 00:16:05,570
You have only to watch a fight,
283
00:16:05,610 --> 00:16:07,530
or have you ruined
if you listen to them.
284
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:11,570
Think of the enemies you've made,
285
00:16:11,610 --> 00:16:14,050
Montfleury, the Vicomte,
if he lives,
286
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,380
all those foppish marquis,
the Comte de Guiche.
287
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:18,970
That politician.
288
00:16:19,010 --> 00:16:21,910
He's the Cardinal's nephew.
There's power there!
289
00:16:21,950 --> 00:16:23,330
And power here.
290
00:16:23,370 --> 00:16:24,680
Young fool!
291
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,540
Take an example from me.
292
00:16:26,570 --> 00:16:29,810
20 years a captain,
while others who know only
293
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,750
how to deploy their
forces at court
294
00:16:31,780 --> 00:16:33,890
now dangle a marshal's baton.
295
00:16:33,930 --> 00:16:37,360
Well, uh, someday
I will avenge you, too.
296
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,530
Impossible.
Come on, let's go to dinner.
297
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,830
Dinner?
No, not I.
298
00:16:41,860 --> 00:16:42,540
Why not?
299
00:16:42,580 --> 00:16:44,530
Because I have no money.
300
00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:46,150
But, the purse of gold.
301
00:16:46,180 --> 00:16:48,140
Farewell paternal pension.
302
00:16:48,180 --> 00:16:51,430
And you have
until the first of next month?
303
00:16:51,470 --> 00:16:52,310
Nothing.
304
00:16:53,140 --> 00:16:54,460
What a fool.
305
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:56,770
Yes, but, what a moment.
306
00:16:56,810 --> 00:16:57,670
- Pardon, Monsieur.
307
00:17:00,010 --> 00:17:01,770
A man ought
never to go hungry.
308
00:17:02,690 --> 00:17:04,150
I have everything here.
309
00:17:05,490 --> 00:17:06,360
Please.
310
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,080
My dear child, I cannot bend this Gascon
pride of mine to accept such a kindness.
311
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:11,820
But, I...
312
00:17:12,910 --> 00:17:15,810
Yet, for fear that
I may give you pain if I refuse,
313
00:17:16,550 --> 00:17:18,190
I will take something.
314
00:17:19,630 --> 00:17:20,660
A grape.
315
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:25,160
One only.
316
00:17:25,820 --> 00:17:27,170
And a glass of water.
317
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,650
No, clear.
318
00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:35,750
And, uh,...half a macaroon.
319
00:17:37,010 --> 00:17:38,100
Nothing more?
320
00:17:39,060 --> 00:17:39,920
Why, yes.
321
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,230
Your hand to kiss.
322
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,510
Thank you, sir.
323
00:18:02,090 --> 00:18:03,100
Good night.
324
00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:10,290
Idiot.
325
00:18:13,170 --> 00:18:13,890
Dinner.
326
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,160
Drink.
327
00:18:18,830 --> 00:18:19,720
Desert.
328
00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:24,670
Mon Dieux, I was hungry,
abominably.
329
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:26,320
Tell me.
330
00:18:26,590 --> 00:18:27,440
Anything.
331
00:18:27,790 --> 00:18:29,920
Why to you hate
this Montfleury?
332
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:32,860
A very bad actor.
333
00:18:32,890 --> 00:18:34,860
Ah, come now, the real
reason, the truth.
334
00:18:36,610 --> 00:18:39,600
That fat goat who cannot hold
his belly in his arms,
335
00:18:39,630 --> 00:18:42,590
still dreams of being
sweetly dangerous among the women.
336
00:18:43,230 --> 00:18:47,610
Sighs and languishes, making sheep's
eyes out of his great frog's face.
337
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:52,750
I hate him ever since one day
he dared smile upon....
338
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,220
Oh, my friend, I seemed to see over
some flower a great snail crawling.
339
00:19:00,090 --> 00:19:01,180
Eh, what?
340
00:19:02,170 --> 00:19:03,340
Is it possible?
341
00:19:04,890 --> 00:19:06,180
For me to love?
342
00:19:08,770 --> 00:19:09,660
I love.
343
00:19:10,370 --> 00:19:12,570
Whom?
May I know?
344
00:19:12,610 --> 00:19:13,620
Whom I love?
345
00:19:15,070 --> 00:19:16,000
Think a moment.
346
00:19:16,210 --> 00:19:17,280
Think of me.
347
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,670
Me, whom the plainest
woman would despise.
348
00:19:21,030 --> 00:19:25,010
Me, with this nose of mine that
marches on before me by a quarter of an hour.
349
00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:28,000
Whom shall I love.
350
00:19:29,890 --> 00:19:34,930
Why, of course, it must be the
woman in the world most beautiful.
351
00:19:35,780 --> 00:19:37,170
Most beautiful?
352
00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:42,920
In these eyes of mine....
beyond compare.
353
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:44,070
Wait.
354
00:19:44,510 --> 00:19:46,440
Your cousin, Roxane.
355
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,300
Yes.
356
00:19:50,170 --> 00:19:51,080
Roxane.
357
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,810
Well?
358
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,020
Why not?
If you love her, tell her so.
359
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,170
My old friend.
360
00:20:01,150 --> 00:20:03,550
Look at me and tell me how
much hope remains for me
361
00:20:03,580 --> 00:20:04,970
with this protuberance.
362
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,360
Ahhh, I have no more illusions.
363
00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:12,140
Now and then I may grow tender
walking alone in the blue of evening
364
00:20:12,170 --> 00:20:16,130
through some garden fresh with flowers
after the benediction of the rain.
365
00:20:16,980 --> 00:20:20,930
My poor big devil of a nose
inhales April.
366
00:20:21,460 --> 00:20:26,950
And I follow with my eyes where
some boy with a girl upon his arm,
367
00:20:27,510 --> 00:20:32,130
passes a patch of silver...
and I feel somehow....
368
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,490
I wish I had a woman, too,
369
00:20:36,670 --> 00:20:41,660
walking with me under the moon,
and holding my arm and smiling.
370
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:44,240
Then I dream.
371
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:46,140
I forget.
372
00:20:49,510 --> 00:20:53,210
And then I see the shadow
of my profile on the wall.
373
00:20:54,750 --> 00:20:56,050
My friend.
374
00:20:57,180 --> 00:20:58,230
My friend.
375
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,370
I have my bitter days,
knowing myself so ugly, so alone.
376
00:21:03,410 --> 00:21:05,260
Ah, but your wit, your courage,
377
00:21:05,540 --> 00:21:08,170
why that poor child who just
now offered you your dinner,
378
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,710
your saw it, her eyes
did not avoid you.
379
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,920
That is true.
380
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,930
Well, then, Roxane herself,
watching your duel, pale.
381
00:21:18,970 --> 00:21:19,480
Pale?
382
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,670
Yes, her lips parted.
Her hand at her breast, thus.
383
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,020
I saw it.
384
00:21:24,260 --> 00:21:27,260
Speak to her. Speak, man.
385
00:21:35,890 --> 00:21:37,550
She might laugh at me.
386
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:42,480
It is the one thing
in this world I fear.
387
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,490
Pardon, Monsieur,
a lady outside asking for you.
388
00:21:48,410 --> 00:21:49,750
Monsieur.
389
00:21:50,340 --> 00:21:51,270
A Duenna.
390
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,530
I have a message for you
from a...a certain lady.
391
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,760
She desires to know when
and where she may see you privately.
392
00:21:57,810 --> 00:22:00,070
She has certain
things to tell you.
393
00:22:00,690 --> 00:22:01,850
Certain...
394
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,010
Things!
395
00:22:04,230 --> 00:22:05,720
She wishes to see me?
396
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,410
We go tomorrow at dawn
to hear mass at St. Rupe
397
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,070
And afterwards, where
would you suggest?
398
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:12,630
Well, then, I...
399
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:15,300
- Where?
- Well?
400
00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:17,070
Ah....I am thinking.
401
00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:18,080
And you think?
402
00:22:19,770 --> 00:22:20,590
Where?
403
00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:22,060
The shop at Ragueneau's.
404
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:24,580
Yes, yes, Ragueneau,
the pastry cook.
405
00:22:24,620 --> 00:22:25,400
Who dwells?
406
00:22:26,650 --> 00:22:27,590
Rue Saint Honore.
407
00:22:27,630 --> 00:22:28,690
Eh...Rue Saint Honore.
408
00:22:28,730 --> 00:22:33,530
We are agreed. At 7 o'clock.
Until then. Adieu.
409
00:22:38,790 --> 00:22:39,940
I'll be there.
410
00:22:41,620 --> 00:22:44,110
Me! To see me!
411
00:22:44,260 --> 00:22:45,830
Ah, not quite so gloomy.
412
00:22:45,870 --> 00:22:47,580
After all, she knows
that I exist.
413
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,060
Imagine, she has
asked to see me!
414
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:52,240
So, now you're
going to be happy?
415
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,350
Happy.
I'm going to be a storm.
A flame!
416
00:22:55,390 --> 00:22:58,430
I need to fight whole
armies all alone!
417
00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,840
I have ten hearts!
418
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,280
I have a hundred arms!.
419
00:23:01,310 --> 00:23:04,450
I feel too strong
to war with mortals!
420
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,150
BRING ME GIANTS!
421
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:11,240
Quiet, please, shhh.
We are rehearsing back here.
422
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,600
So sorry.
Ha, ha, ha.
423
00:23:21,490 --> 00:23:22,280
Cyrano.
424
00:23:22,830 --> 00:23:23,630
Cyrano.
425
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,590
Ragueneau.
426
00:23:26,150 --> 00:23:27,910
Oh, thank goodness
you're still here.
427
00:23:27,950 --> 00:23:29,180
Well, what's the matter.
428
00:23:29,210 --> 00:23:30,410
I'm afraid to go home.
429
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,040
Why?
430
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,050
You know those
comic verses I wrote?
431
00:23:33,090 --> 00:23:34,830
About the congregation.
432
00:23:34,860 --> 00:23:37,260
Cyrano, he's hired ruffians.
Bullies.
433
00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:39,740
A hundred, waiting for
me on the way home.
434
00:23:39,780 --> 00:23:41,620
They're gonna beat me.
Cane me!
435
00:23:41,650 --> 00:23:44,450
Please, would you permit me
to spend the night with you?
436
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,420
A hundred men,
is that all?
437
00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:49,610
Ragueneau, you're
going home tonight.
438
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,630
But they're armed.
They're cutthroats!
439
00:23:51,690 --> 00:23:53,620
Take this lantern.
Forward march.
440
00:23:53,660 --> 00:23:55,760
I say that I'll be the man
to see you to your shop.
441
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,150
Not you, I want no help from you.
442
00:23:57,190 --> 00:23:58,510
For even for a hundred,
you're mad.
443
00:23:58,550 --> 00:23:59,730
Those are the odds I want.
444
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,420
Why for this pastry cook?
445
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,820
First, because this
pastry cook is a friend of mine.
446
00:24:04,930 --> 00:24:07,820
Second, because this
pastry cook is also a poet.
447
00:24:07,950 --> 00:24:09,360
And, most important,
448
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:12,000
if anything should
happen to this pastry cook,
449
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:16,870
tomorrow morning at seven
his shop will be closed.
450
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:19,590
Goodnight.
451
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,060
(a whistle signal)
452
00:25:37,430 --> 00:25:38,480
Cyrano. Help!
453
00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:43,580
Look out behind you!
454
00:26:22,750 --> 00:26:23,810
I have been robbed.
455
00:26:24,370 --> 00:26:26,070
- There are no hundred here.
456
00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:32,360
It's, it's, it's...
457
00:26:33,820 --> 00:26:35,230
Be quick. Inside.
458
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,550
Bolt the door!
459
00:26:48,510 --> 00:26:49,310
Ah!
460
00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:08,660
Yah!
461
00:27:10,460 --> 00:27:12,210
(ruffians shouting)
462
00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:01,010
Ah!
463
00:28:03,860 --> 00:28:04,560
Awk.
464
00:28:05,860 --> 00:28:08,030
(ruffians shouting)
465
00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:17,280
(Le Bret)
- Cyrano!
466
00:28:17,310 --> 00:28:18,320
- Hold!
467
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:34,330
Ah.
468
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,420
How do you feel?
469
00:28:37,460 --> 00:28:39,540
Oh, pleasantly exhilarated.
470
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:42,990
- Come, I know a little tavern not far...
- Where's Ragueneau?
471
00:28:43,310 --> 00:28:46,320
Ragueneau?
Ragueneau!
472
00:28:46,730 --> 00:28:49,510
Little boy, come out.
All's well!
473
00:28:50,330 --> 00:28:51,990
- Is it over?
- All over.
474
00:28:52,220 --> 00:28:53,020
Really?
475
00:28:54,500 --> 00:28:55,340
So soon?
476
00:28:55,370 --> 00:28:56,140
Ha, ha, ha.
477
00:28:56,170 --> 00:28:59,480
Oh, if only I'd had my sword.
How many did we kill?
478
00:28:59,510 --> 00:29:00,330
Oh, about eight.
479
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:00,960
Eight.
480
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,410
Eight!
481
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,420
Ohhhh.
482
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,910
This.....gentleman
begins to annoy me.
483
00:29:31,980 --> 00:29:33,630
(Ragueneau is a poet, too.)
484
00:29:35,060 --> 00:29:40,010
No. The sauce and meat must rhyme.
Add a pinch of marigold and thyme.
485
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,960
Your house, of course, needs a stronger roof.
Eh? There's proof.
486
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:45,830
Cyrano.
487
00:29:46,830 --> 00:29:47,500
Cyrano.
488
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,100
Come in and eat.
489
00:29:49,130 --> 00:29:51,110
- What time is it?
- Not quite seven.
490
00:29:51,130 --> 00:29:54,140
Oh, now, please, Cyrano.
A man without breakfast is like...
491
00:29:54,180 --> 00:29:56,720
No.
Could she have changed her mind?
492
00:29:56,750 --> 00:29:57,920
Aw, she wouldn't dare.
493
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,900
We were magnificent last night.
494
00:30:00,370 --> 00:30:01,830
And at the theater, too.
495
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,320
'Then, as I end the refrain'....
496
00:30:04,350 --> 00:30:07,390
When she arrives.
Where can we converse undisturbed?
497
00:30:07,420 --> 00:30:09,190
Wherever you like.
My shop is yours.
498
00:30:09,310 --> 00:30:11,900
The little dining room
is quite romantic.
499
00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:14,490
'Thrust home!'
Yea gods, what a line.
500
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,650
- 'Then as I end the re....'
- Vanish.
501
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:18,110
- Uh, huh, she's come?
- Shhhh.
502
00:30:18,140 --> 00:30:18,920
I swear.
503
00:30:27,340 --> 00:30:28,170
Welcome.
504
00:30:38,470 --> 00:30:40,510
- A pardon, one word.
- Oh, yes?
505
00:30:40,550 --> 00:30:41,520
Have you a good digestion?
506
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,430
Oh, wonderful.
507
00:30:43,290 --> 00:30:48,800
Eh, here are some éclairs.
Uh, creampuffs.
508
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,160
Some, uh, jellyrolls.
And do you like nature?
509
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,400
I adore it.
510
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,760
Go out and eat these in the sunshine.
Do not return.
511
00:30:56,790 --> 00:30:57,440
But why?
512
00:30:57,470 --> 00:30:58,910
Until you have finished them.
513
00:30:58,940 --> 00:31:00,340
(outside)
- What do I do then?
514
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,750
(door closes)
515
00:31:09,970 --> 00:31:13,000
Blessed above all others be the hour
when you remember to remember me,
516
00:31:13,230 --> 00:31:15,800
and came to tell me......what?
517
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,750
To tell you that....
518
00:31:19,060 --> 00:31:21,810
Before I dare tell you I....
519
00:31:22,020 --> 00:31:24,850
Are you, I wonder, still
the same big brother almost
520
00:31:24,890 --> 00:31:26,720
that you used to be
when we were children,
521
00:31:26,750 --> 00:31:29,570
playing by the pond
in the old garden down there?
522
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,570
At Bergerac.
Those lovely summers.
523
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,700
You use to make swords
out of bulrushes.
524
00:31:33,740 --> 00:31:35,810
And you, dandelions
also golden hair.
525
00:31:35,890 --> 00:31:37,930
In those days
I could tell you everything.
526
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,860
And you did
everything I wished.
527
00:31:40,060 --> 00:31:44,830
Little Roxane, a sweet tyrone
with short skirts and long hair.
528
00:31:44,860 --> 00:31:45,780
Was I pretty?
529
00:31:49,830 --> 00:31:51,270
Not too plain.
530
00:31:52,150 --> 00:31:54,490
Sometimes when you had fallen
or hurt your hand,
531
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,670
you used to come running to me,
and I would be your mother and say,
532
00:31:57,710 --> 00:32:02,770
oh, with a very grownup voice,
'Now, what have you been doing to yourself?'
533
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,300
'Let me see.'
534
00:32:05,890 --> 00:32:07,060
- Oh!
- No one that.
535
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:08,230
Wait, let me see.
536
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,540
Still. At your age?
537
00:32:12,010 --> 00:32:13,810
Now, how did you do that?
538
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,910
Playing with the big boys
at the Place de Neanne.
539
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:18,410
Come here.
540
00:32:19,330 --> 00:32:21,020
Such a wise little mother.
541
00:32:21,030 --> 00:32:24,740
And tell me, while I wash this
blood away, how many you played with?
542
00:32:24,770 --> 00:32:26,840
- Oh, about a hundred.
- A hundred?
543
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,950
- More or less.
- It can't be.
544
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:31,080
No.
545
00:32:31,670 --> 00:32:33,720
Tell me what you were
going to tell me.....
546
00:32:34,130 --> 00:32:35,320
if you dared.
547
00:32:36,190 --> 00:32:38,060
I think I do dare, now.
548
00:32:38,860 --> 00:32:41,450
It seems so like
those happy days long ago.
549
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,780
Yes, I dare.
550
00:32:44,350 --> 00:32:47,190
Listen....I love someone.
551
00:32:47,850 --> 00:32:48,440
Yes?
552
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,150
Someone who does not know.
553
00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:51,340
Yes?
554
00:32:51,450 --> 00:32:54,970
Someone who loves me, too,
but is afraid of me and keeps away
555
00:32:55,010 --> 00:32:56,340
and never says one word.
556
00:32:57,570 --> 00:32:58,270
(softly)
Yes.
557
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,210
Give my that hand.
558
00:33:01,870 --> 00:33:03,080
Why, how hot it is.
559
00:33:04,390 --> 00:33:06,390
Yes, he loves me.
I am sure of it.
560
00:33:06,740 --> 00:33:07,530
(softly)
Yes.
561
00:33:08,110 --> 00:33:10,730
And he is a soldier, too,
in your own regiment,
562
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,710
your own company.
563
00:33:11,740 --> 00:33:12,750
(loud)
Yes.
564
00:33:13,340 --> 00:33:14,480
Such a man.
565
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,280
He is proud, noble, young, brave,
566
00:33:18,610 --> 00:33:19,700
beautiful!
567
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:22,550
(softly)
Beautiful.
568
00:33:25,180 --> 00:33:26,040
What's the matter?
569
00:33:26,460 --> 00:33:27,160
Oh, nothing.
570
00:33:28,110 --> 00:33:30,210
It's this, my hand.
571
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,280
I love him.
That is all.
572
00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:38,230
And I have never seen him
anywhere except in the theater.
573
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,710
You have never spoken?
574
00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:42,790
Only with our hearts.
575
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,080
Well, then, how do you know?
576
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:50,270
Well, people talk about people,
and I hear things, and...
577
00:33:51,370 --> 00:33:52,700
and I know.
578
00:33:53,890 --> 00:33:55,540
(firmly)
You say he is in the guards?
579
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,530
His name?
580
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,270
Baron Christian de Neuvillette.
581
00:34:02,790 --> 00:34:03,910
You know him?
582
00:34:04,290 --> 00:34:05,650
He is not in the guards.
583
00:34:05,690 --> 00:34:07,020
Yes, since last week.
584
00:34:07,770 --> 00:34:09,550
He is only lately
come to Paris...
585
00:34:09,730 --> 00:34:11,140
from Normandy.
586
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,070
So soon.
So soon we lose our hearts.
587
00:34:15,570 --> 00:34:16,160
What...
(door opens)
588
00:34:16,190 --> 00:34:17,220
(Duenna)
- Monsieur de Bergerac
589
00:34:17,250 --> 00:34:18,850
- I have eaten all the cakes.
590
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,280
Good.
Now, go out and enjoy nature.
591
00:34:23,020 --> 00:34:26,110
But my dear child, you love
only words, wit, poetry.
592
00:34:26,150 --> 00:34:29,950
Why, for all you know,
the man may be a savage or a fool.
593
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:34,290
Not with such eyes.
I read his soul in them.
594
00:34:35,270 --> 00:34:38,360
Yes, all our souls are
written in our eyes.
595
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,720
And you have brought
me here to tell me this?
596
00:34:42,980 --> 00:34:45,890
I do not yet quite understand,
madam, the reason for your confidence.
597
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:52,640
They say, that in your company,
it frightens me, you are all Gascon.
598
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,850
We pick a quarrel with any outsider
who intrudes himself.
599
00:34:54,890 --> 00:34:56,250
Is that what you have heard?
600
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,150
- I'm so afraid for him.
- Not without reason.
601
00:34:59,190 --> 00:35:03,730
And I thought you...
it's you whom they all respect and fear.
602
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,590
You want me to defend
your little Baron?
603
00:35:08,630 --> 00:35:09,740
Will you?
604
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:11,670
Just for me.
605
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,440
Because I have always
been your friend.
606
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,790
And this is what
you want of me?
607
00:35:16,820 --> 00:35:18,430
Will you be his friend?
608
00:35:20,450 --> 00:35:22,200
I will be his friend.
609
00:35:22,230 --> 00:35:23,040
And never let him
fight a duel.
610
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,060
No, never.
611
00:35:24,090 --> 00:35:24,750
Promise?
612
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:26,980
I promise.
613
00:35:27,420 --> 00:35:30,860
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
I knew I could rely on you.
614
00:35:33,930 --> 00:35:35,410
Well, now I must go.
615
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,480
Oh, you never told
me about last night.
616
00:35:43,970 --> 00:35:45,790
Why, you must
have been a hero.
617
00:35:45,820 --> 00:35:50,240
Have write and tell me all about it,
and...about himself.
618
00:35:51,420 --> 00:35:54,330
Oh, you are a darling.
We are great friends, are we not?
619
00:35:54,860 --> 00:35:56,330
He must write to me.
620
00:35:58,390 --> 00:36:01,490
A hundred men against one.
You shall tell me the whole story
621
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:02,980
someday when we have time.
622
00:36:06,570 --> 00:36:10,170
A hundred men.
What courage!
623
00:36:14,030 --> 00:36:16,810
I have done better.
624
00:36:21,820 --> 00:36:22,450
Well?
625
00:36:24,890 --> 00:36:26,050
Let us leave this place.
626
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,620
But the whole company
is on its way here.
627
00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:28,330
Oh, no.
628
00:36:28,370 --> 00:36:30,870
On my heels. Naturally I told
them all about last night.
629
00:36:30,900 --> 00:36:31,880
They're wild.
630
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:32,830
Here they are.
631
00:36:32,860 --> 00:36:35,420
- Yes, but, why did you?
- Perhaps I can stop them.
632
00:36:36,210 --> 00:36:36,870
Never mind.
633
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,220
Cyrano!
634
00:36:39,260 --> 00:36:46,070
(greetings and cheers to Cyrano)
635
00:36:49,130 --> 00:36:51,570
Eight dead men in the street.
Scandalous.
636
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,010
You know my edict
against dueling, nephew.
637
00:36:54,050 --> 00:36:55,580
I expect to have it enforced.
638
00:36:55,610 --> 00:36:58,940
Furthermore, I wish to know
who was responsible for last night's
639
00:36:58,970 --> 00:37:00,410
outrage at the Place de Neanne.
640
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:01,840
I understand, Your Eminence.
641
00:37:02,050 --> 00:37:04,180
Very well.
And now I have news
642
00:37:04,210 --> 00:37:06,310
that should be more
to you liking.
643
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:13,410
I fear, in confidence, our
uneasy armistice with Spain is doomed.
644
00:37:13,450 --> 00:37:14,410
My colonelcy?
645
00:37:14,450 --> 00:37:16,670
You commission has been prepared.
646
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:18,890
Oh, thank you, uncle, thank you.
647
00:37:19,230 --> 00:37:20,630
Oh, one thing more.
648
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,600
Last night at the theater,
the duel in rhyme,
649
00:37:24,790 --> 00:37:26,970
that guardsman with a nose.
650
00:37:27,010 --> 00:37:30,240
- Bergerac, that impossible Gascon.
- Yes, impossible.
651
00:37:30,260 --> 00:37:32,300
- His treatment of Montfleury.
- Abominable.
652
00:37:32,330 --> 00:37:35,230
- The arrogance with which he closed the play.
- Incredible.
653
00:37:35,260 --> 00:37:38,130
- It will be a miracle if the Vicomte survives.
- A sorrow.
654
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,720
What will you do
with him, Your Eminence?
655
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,100
I? Nothing.
656
00:37:41,140 --> 00:37:43,290
I thought I might
leave that to you.
657
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,500
To me?
658
00:37:44,530 --> 00:37:48,270
Yes. Place him somewhere
in your service,
659
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:49,890
with a comfortable allowance.
660
00:37:49,930 --> 00:37:51,390
He looked a little threadbare.
661
00:37:51,430 --> 00:37:55,020
I...You...But, Your Eminence.
You detest dueling.
662
00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:55,960
Of course I do.
663
00:37:56,350 --> 00:37:58,070
Why didn't you prevent it?
664
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,350
I should much prefer
that monsieur de Beregrac
665
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,300
live by the pen,
rather than die by the sword.
666
00:38:06,590 --> 00:38:08,470
Do you not agree, Antoine?
667
00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:12,560
By all means, Your Eminence.
By all means.
668
00:38:14,830 --> 00:38:21,650
'And then, as I end the refrain...
thrust home.'
669
00:38:24,790 --> 00:38:28,740
(Carousing at Ragueneau's)
670
00:38:33,220 --> 00:38:39,860
(noisy celebration of Cyrano's
defeat of 'a hundred' ruffians)
671
00:38:44,210 --> 00:38:46,580
(Antoine Comte de Guiche enters)
672
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:48,620
Monsieur de Bergerac.
673
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,390
Your Excellency.
674
00:38:51,970 --> 00:38:54,750
I have come to express my....
675
00:38:54,790 --> 00:38:58,550
admiration for both
your exploits last night.
676
00:38:58,590 --> 00:39:01,290
Indeed. Thank you.
677
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,900
My dear fellow,
we may have had our differences,
678
00:39:04,930 --> 00:39:07,550
but I am disposed
to forget them.
679
00:39:07,570 --> 00:39:09,710
That is very generous
of you, sir.
680
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:10,560
No, truly.
681
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,970
You are, it seems, a man
of many skills.
682
00:39:14,010 --> 00:39:17,350
A rare combination
soldier and poet.
683
00:39:18,060 --> 00:39:21,750
- Would you care to join my following?
- No, sir.
684
00:39:21,790 --> 00:39:23,260
I do not follow.
685
00:39:23,770 --> 00:39:25,980
I am told you have
written a play.
686
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,510
As you know, my uncle,
the Cardinal, is also a dramatist.
687
00:39:29,540 --> 00:39:30,990
I might help you there.
688
00:39:31,150 --> 00:39:34,050
Cyrano, now at last
you can have it performed.
689
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,200
Why not?
690
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:36,620
I could take it to him.
691
00:39:37,860 --> 00:39:39,330
Really?
692
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,460
Of course.
Let him rewrite a few lines
693
00:39:41,490 --> 00:39:43,770
here and there, and
he'll find a theater for you.
694
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,230
Rewrite...my lines?
695
00:39:47,670 --> 00:39:49,150
Impossible.
696
00:39:49,190 --> 00:39:52,040
Uh, when he likes a thing,
he pays well.
697
00:39:52,070 --> 00:39:53,240
Yes, but not so well as I.
698
00:39:53,270 --> 00:39:55,460
When I have made a line
that sings itself
699
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:57,220
I pay myself a hundred times.
700
00:39:57,250 --> 00:39:58,940
You are proud, my friend.
701
00:39:58,970 --> 00:40:00,020
You have observed that?
702
00:40:00,060 --> 00:40:02,460
- Cyrano.
See what we found in the street.
703
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:05,140
Plumes dropped in their flight
by those fine birds
704
00:40:05,170 --> 00:40:06,860
who showed their
tail feathers!
705
00:40:06,890 --> 00:40:08,590
(laughter)
706
00:40:08,620 --> 00:40:10,180
The man who hired
those scoundrels,
707
00:40:10,210 --> 00:40:12,010
he must be an
angry man today.
708
00:40:12,050 --> 00:40:13,430
Who was it?
Do you know?
709
00:40:13,850 --> 00:40:14,790
It was I.
710
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,870
I hired them to do the sort
of work we do not soil our hands with.
711
00:40:20,660 --> 00:40:22,940
Punishing an insolent poet.
712
00:40:22,970 --> 00:40:25,610
They ought to be mounted
before they spoil.
713
00:40:25,650 --> 00:40:27,850
(laughter)
What shall we do with them?
714
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:36,460
Sir, will you not return these
to your friends?
715
00:40:40,310 --> 00:40:42,190
Have you read Don Quixote?
716
00:40:42,230 --> 00:40:44,650
I have and found
myself the hero.
717
00:40:44,690 --> 00:40:47,770
Be so good as to read once more
the capture of the windmills.
718
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,010
Chapter 13.
719
00:40:50,150 --> 00:40:52,200
Windmills, remember,
if you fight with them...
720
00:40:52,230 --> 00:40:56,590
may swing round their huge arms
and cast you down into the mire.
721
00:40:56,630 --> 00:40:59,010
Or up among the stars.
722
00:41:01,250 --> 00:41:01,970
Gentlemen.
723
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:03,320
Gentlemen.
724
00:41:03,570 --> 00:41:04,550
Gentlemen.
725
00:41:05,220 --> 00:41:06,610
You've done it, now.
726
00:41:06,650 --> 00:41:07,860
You've made your fortune.
727
00:41:07,890 --> 00:41:09,070
He was willing to forget.
728
00:41:09,490 --> 00:41:11,180
There you go again, growling.
729
00:41:11,210 --> 00:41:13,460
Yesss,
this latest pose of yours,
730
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:16,070
ruining every opportunity
that comes you way,
731
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:17,100
becomes exaggerated.
732
00:41:17,140 --> 00:41:18,250
Very well, then, I exaggerate.
733
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:19,710
There are certain things
in this world
734
00:41:19,740 --> 00:41:21,100
a man does well
to carry to extremes.
735
00:41:21,140 --> 00:41:23,710
Your precious independence.
Your white plume.
736
00:41:23,740 --> 00:41:25,410
How do you expect
to succeed in life?
737
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,400
What would you have me do?
738
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,590
Seek for the patronage
of some great man
739
00:41:28,630 --> 00:41:31,880
and like a creeping vine
on a tall tree crawl upward
740
00:41:31,910 --> 00:41:33,520
where I cannot stand alone?
741
00:41:33,940 --> 00:41:34,850
No, thank you.
742
00:41:35,210 --> 00:41:39,880
Be a buffoon in the vile hope
of teasing out a smile on some cold face.
743
00:41:40,340 --> 00:41:41,710
No, thank you.
744
00:41:42,050 --> 00:41:44,260
Eat a toad for breakfast
every morning.
745
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:47,530
Make my knees calloused.
Cultivate a supple spine.
746
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,320
Wear out my belly
groveling in the dust.
747
00:41:49,590 --> 00:41:50,400
No, thank you.
748
00:41:50,860 --> 00:41:54,880
With my left hand scratch the back
of any swine that roots up gold for me
749
00:41:54,910 --> 00:41:58,910
while my right, too proud to know
his partner's business, takes in the fee.
750
00:41:58,940 --> 00:41:59,920
No, thank you.
751
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,810
Shall I use the fire God gave me
to burn incense all day long?
752
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,020
No, thank you.
753
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,410
Struggle to insinuate my name
into the columns of the Gazette?
754
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:13,250
Calculate, scheme, be afraid?
Love more to make a visit than a poem?
755
00:42:13,290 --> 00:42:15,990
Seek introductions, favors,
influences?
756
00:42:16,020 --> 00:42:17,050
No, thank you.
757
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,270
No, I thank you, and
again I thank you.
758
00:42:23,930 --> 00:42:30,320
But, to sing, to laugh, to dream,
to walk in my own way,
759
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,510
free with and eye
to see things as they are.
760
00:42:33,380 --> 00:42:35,240
A voice that means manhood.
761
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,640
To cut my have
the right shoes.
762
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:46,150
And a word, a yes, a no,
to fight, or write,
763
00:42:46,830 --> 00:42:48,440
but never to make
a line I have not heard
764
00:42:48,470 --> 00:42:49,780
in my own heart.
765
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,380
To travel any
road under the sun,
766
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,780
under the stars,
767
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,520
nor care if fame or fortune
lie beyond the bourne.
768
00:43:00,370 --> 00:43:02,250
Yet, with all modesty to say,
769
00:43:03,250 --> 00:43:05,830
my soul be satisfied
with flowers,
770
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:08,000
with weeds,
771
00:43:09,210 --> 00:43:10,840
with thorns, even,
772
00:43:11,910 --> 00:43:14,940
but gather them in the one garden
you may call your own.
773
00:43:16,230 --> 00:43:18,450
In a word, I'm too proud
to be a parasite.
774
00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:21,470
And if mine intellect the germ
that grows towering to heaven
775
00:43:21,500 --> 00:43:22,770
like the mountain pine
776
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,570
I stand not high, it may be,
777
00:43:27,260 --> 00:43:28,460
but alone.
778
00:43:28,500 --> 00:43:31,170
Alone, yes, but why
go about making enemies?
779
00:43:32,100 --> 00:43:35,850
Watching other people
making friends...everywhere,
780
00:43:35,890 --> 00:43:37,980
as a dog makes friends.
781
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,550
I mark the manner of
these canine courtesies,
782
00:43:41,580 --> 00:43:46,770
and think, here comes,
thank heaven, another enemy.
783
00:43:46,810 --> 00:43:52,760
Yes, tell this to all the world,
and then to me say very softly
784
00:43:52,790 --> 00:43:55,540
that she loves you not.
785
00:43:58,830 --> 00:44:00,940
Let me be alone
for a moment.
786
00:44:03,990 --> 00:44:05,050
Cyrano, wait.
787
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,760
Give us your story
of the fight.
788
00:44:07,530 --> 00:44:08,400
Presently.
789
00:44:08,430 --> 00:44:10,010
No, the story, now!
790
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,970
Oh, let him alone.
There's time enough.
791
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,360
I want it now!
792
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,090
As an example for that young
tadpole sneaking out the doorway.
793
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,040
You, there.
794
00:44:25,310 --> 00:44:26,820
Are you addressing me?
795
00:44:28,190 --> 00:44:32,770
Yes, you flat-footed
Norman farmer.
796
00:44:36,190 --> 00:44:37,470
You wish something of me?
797
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:39,950
Listen, Monsieur de...de...de
whatever your name is.
798
00:44:39,980 --> 00:44:40,920
de Neuvillette!
799
00:44:41,090 --> 00:44:43,230
Baron Christan de Neuvillette.
800
00:44:43,270 --> 00:44:45,370
Very well, de Neuvillette.
801
00:44:45,670 --> 00:44:48,080
As you are a newcomer here,
you should know there is a
802
00:44:48,110 --> 00:44:52,300
certain subject or object, if you prefer,
that is never mentioned among us.
803
00:44:52,340 --> 00:44:53,340
And that is....?
804
00:44:53,370 --> 00:44:54,500
Look at me!
805
00:44:54,540 --> 00:44:55,980
(touching his nose)
806
00:44:56,020 --> 00:44:57,360
You understand?
807
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:58,670
You mean....?
808
00:44:58,700 --> 00:45:01,090
Thus we never speak that word.
809
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,390
To even breathe it is
to have to do with him.
810
00:45:04,420 --> 00:45:08,760
He has exterminated several
whose mere tone of voice suggested...
811
00:45:08,790 --> 00:45:12,920
Would you die before your time?
Just mention anything convex.
812
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,530
Or cartilaginous.
813
00:45:14,570 --> 00:45:18,540
One word. One syllable.
One gesture. Nay, one sneeze.
814
00:45:18,570 --> 00:45:21,330
And your handkerchief
becomes your winding sheet.
815
00:45:24,110 --> 00:45:24,920
Captain.
816
00:45:25,430 --> 00:45:26,290
Sir?
817
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:30,090
What is the proper thing to do
when Gascons grow too boastful?
818
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,820
Prove to them that one may
be a Norman and still have courage.
819
00:45:33,850 --> 00:45:35,100
I thank you.
820
00:45:41,330 --> 00:45:43,360
Come on, Cyrano, your story.
821
00:45:44,420 --> 00:45:47,330
(shouts of encouragement)
822
00:45:47,740 --> 00:45:49,540
Now, let me see.
Where shall we begin?
823
00:45:50,450 --> 00:45:52,510
I followed with our host
to meet those scoundrels
824
00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:53,640
not knowing where
they might attack.
825
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,340
No lamps in those narrow
back streets.
826
00:45:57,500 --> 00:45:58,600
No moon in the sky.
827
00:45:59,340 --> 00:46:01,220
Dark. Everything dark.
828
00:46:01,430 --> 00:46:04,040
It was so dark, Mon Dieux,
you could not see beyond...
829
00:46:04,070 --> 00:46:05,470
Your nose!
830
00:46:05,850 --> 00:46:08,480
(Christian shows his courage.)
831
00:46:25,250 --> 00:46:33,250
Who...is that...man...there?
832
00:46:34,260 --> 00:46:35,380
- A new recruit.
833
00:46:36,070 --> 00:46:37,550
- Arrived last week.
834
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,080
A recruit, eh?
835
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:41,940
Ha, ha---.
836
00:46:41,970 --> 00:46:45,320
His name is Christian de Neuvillette.
837
00:46:45,350 --> 00:46:48,660
(Cyrano remembers his
promise to Roxane.)
838
00:46:58,510 --> 00:46:59,570
I see.
839
00:47:02,670 --> 00:47:03,510
Very well.
840
00:47:04,850 --> 00:47:06,470
As I was saying.
841
00:47:10,830 --> 00:47:11,930
It grew dark.
842
00:47:12,460 --> 00:47:15,180
You could not see
your hand before your eyes.
843
00:47:16,310 --> 00:47:19,470
I marched on thinking our all for
the sake of one amateur poet
844
00:47:19,510 --> 00:47:22,660
- who wrote a verse whenever he took a..
- A nose full.
845
00:47:24,370 --> 00:47:25,770
...whenever he took a notion.,
846
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,600
and might antagonize
some dangerous man.
847
00:47:28,630 --> 00:47:30,830
One powerful enough
to make me pay...
848
00:47:30,860 --> 00:47:31,980
Through the nose!
849
00:47:32,010 --> 00:47:33,090
...pay the piper!
850
00:47:33,410 --> 00:47:35,430
After all, I thought,
why am I putting in my..
851
00:47:35,470 --> 00:47:36,310
- Nose!
852
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:39,170
...putting in my oar in a quarrel
that was none of mine,
853
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,240
however now that I am here,
I may as well go through with it.
854
00:47:41,270 --> 00:47:42,840
Come Gascon, do your duty.
855
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,850
Suddenly a sword
flashed in the dark!
856
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:45,810
I caught it fair...
857
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:46,810
On the nose!
858
00:47:47,940 --> 00:47:49,130
...on my blade!
859
00:47:49,170 --> 00:47:50,530
Before I knew it,
there I was...
860
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:51,690
Rubbing noses!
861
00:47:51,730 --> 00:47:53,840
...crossing swords with
harvard's joy once.
862
00:47:53,870 --> 00:47:54,940
I had the bottom then...
863
00:47:54,980 --> 00:47:55,900
A nosegay!
864
00:47:55,940 --> 00:47:57,160
...a monstrous crab tree.
865
00:47:57,610 --> 00:48:00,170
(breathing heavily)
He went down for as a wave.
866
00:48:00,380 --> 00:48:00,990
I charged...
867
00:48:01,030 --> 00:48:02,590
Who was in the air hard.
868
00:48:02,620 --> 00:48:03,450
...at the two of them.
869
00:48:04,750 --> 00:48:05,900
Another lunged,
and I parried...
870
00:48:05,940 --> 00:48:07,220
Through your nose!
871
00:48:07,250 --> 00:48:09,310
Right out of here!
All of you go!
872
00:48:09,340 --> 00:48:10,120
Leave me with him.
873
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,660
To my arms, sir.
You have courage.
874
00:48:28,690 --> 00:48:29,880
- That pleases me.
- Why?
875
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,820
Come, do you not know
I am her brother?
876
00:48:31,850 --> 00:48:32,460
Whose?
877
00:48:32,500 --> 00:48:34,250
Hers. Roxane.
878
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:38,390
Brother?
879
00:48:39,260 --> 00:48:40,170
You?
880
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,150
Well, a distant cousin.
Much the same.
881
00:48:42,510 --> 00:48:44,450
- Then she has told you?
- Everything.
882
00:48:44,580 --> 00:48:46,680
- She loves me?
- Perhaps.
883
00:48:47,610 --> 00:48:49,950
My dear sir, more than I can say.
I am honored.
884
00:48:49,990 --> 00:48:52,040
- Rather sudden.
- Oh, please, forgive me.
885
00:48:52,260 --> 00:48:54,270
If you knew how
much I have admired you.
886
00:48:54,310 --> 00:48:57,620
- Yes, yes, and all those noses.
- Please. I apologize.
887
00:48:59,060 --> 00:49:00,680
Roxane expects a letter.
888
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:02,300
- From me?
- Yes, why not?
889
00:49:02,340 --> 00:49:03,180
Oh,, No.
890
00:49:03,530 --> 00:49:05,880
- Once I write, that ruins everything.
- Why?
891
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,020
Because, any schoolboy can write
to her more gracefully than I.
892
00:49:09,590 --> 00:49:10,730
A fool!
893
00:49:10,900 --> 00:49:14,560
- You did not attack me like a fool.
- Anyone can pick a quarrel.
894
00:49:14,740 --> 00:49:16,580
No, I'm never at loss
for words among men,
895
00:49:16,610 --> 00:49:21,260
but with any women...
paralyzed...speechless, dumb.
896
00:49:21,460 --> 00:49:23,600
I'm one of those
stammering idiots
897
00:49:23,630 --> 00:49:25,270
who can not court a woman.
898
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:26,170
Really?
899
00:49:26,810 --> 00:49:28,700
As for myself,
it seems to me that
900
00:49:28,730 --> 00:49:32,300
given the opportunity,
and if I put my mind to it,
901
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,390
I could do that..
rather well.
902
00:49:35,420 --> 00:49:37,870
Oh, is I had words to say
what I have here!
903
00:49:37,900 --> 00:49:39,450
If I were handsome
like you.
904
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,780
Together, we could make
one mighty hero of romance.
905
00:49:43,820 --> 00:49:45,330
If only I had your wit.
906
00:49:50,570 --> 00:49:51,710
Borrow it, then.
907
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:53,150
What?
908
00:49:54,670 --> 00:49:55,490
Tell me,
909
00:49:56,910 --> 00:49:59,770
would you dare repeat to her
the words I gave you day by day?
910
00:50:00,330 --> 00:50:02,420
Send to her
the letters that I write?
911
00:50:02,460 --> 00:50:04,800
I mean, that Roxane
should have no disillusionment.
912
00:50:05,180 --> 00:50:06,820
Come, shall we win her
both together?
913
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:07,800
For you?
914
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,970
- Why, Cyrano...
- Christian, why not?
915
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,850
I...I'm afraid.
916
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,030
Afraid that when you
have her all alone, you will lose her.
917
00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:16,420
Have not fear,
it is your self she loves.
918
00:50:16,450 --> 00:50:17,920
Give her yourself.
919
00:50:17,950 --> 00:50:23,670
Put into words,
my words...upon your lips.
920
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:25,180
Will you?
921
00:50:26,780 --> 00:50:28,030
Will you?
922
00:50:28,910 --> 00:50:30,740
Does it mean
so much to you?
923
00:50:30,770 --> 00:50:32,360
It means....
924
00:50:34,110 --> 00:50:37,060
It means a comedy,
a situation for a poet.
925
00:50:37,190 --> 00:50:38,350
Come, shall we collaborate?
926
00:50:38,390 --> 00:50:42,420
I'll be your cloak of darkness,
your enchanted sword,
927
00:50:42,460 --> 00:50:45,330
your ring to charm
the fairy princess.
928
00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:49,180
Think!
Is the prize not worth the danger?
929
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:52,980
My friend!
930
00:50:54,620 --> 00:50:55,740
My friend.
931
00:50:56,890 --> 00:51:00,100
Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
932
00:51:00,350 --> 00:51:03,650
Plucking the flowers,
we will keep the plant in bloom.
933
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,010
Thus do I love thee,
my darling.
934
00:51:08,890 --> 00:51:09,670
Idiot.
935
00:51:09,910 --> 00:51:12,200
There are a dozen
ways to read that line.
936
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:14,500
Can't you give it some meaning?
Any meaning!
937
00:51:14,530 --> 00:51:15,950
THUS do I love thee!
938
00:51:15,980 --> 00:51:17,280
Thus do "I" love thee.
939
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:18,550
Thus do I LOVE thee.
940
00:51:18,580 --> 00:51:20,930
Thus do I love THEE,
THEE, THEE.
941
00:51:22,580 --> 00:51:25,680
Who knows your smile
has known a perfect thing.
942
00:51:25,710 --> 00:51:28,400
You are a white rose,
wherein love lies in ambush
943
00:51:28,430 --> 00:51:30,180
for its natural prey.
944
00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:33,760
In the garden of my heart,
you are the most...
945
00:51:33,930 --> 00:51:35,680
eh, the most....
946
00:51:37,450 --> 00:51:39,750
fragrant blossom.
947
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,780
As the tender sapling
thirsts for rain,
948
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,900
as the eagle seeks the sky,
949
00:51:48,030 --> 00:51:51,050
as the wave
hurtles toward the shore,
950
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,990
my heart yearns for you.
951
00:51:54,460 --> 00:51:55,820
Good, good.
952
00:51:55,970 --> 00:51:58,740
You know, you're beginning
to have a feel for words.
953
00:51:58,770 --> 00:52:02,010
- Words. I'm sick of words.
- Those are your weapons.
954
00:52:02,050 --> 00:52:03,190
How else do you conquer?
955
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,130
Yes, but when, when?
956
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,190
They're fighting in the north, now.
You know that.
957
00:52:06,230 --> 00:52:07,690
The Regiment will be
called up any day,
958
00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:08,840
and I've never
even kissed her.
959
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,940
Patience, my boy, patience.
960
00:52:11,980 --> 00:52:13,110
I've been patient.
961
00:52:13,140 --> 00:52:16,280
Why, she sees the Compte de Guiche
as often as she does me.
962
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,120
Do you suppose
she's playing with me?
963
00:52:21,260 --> 00:52:22,500
Making a fool of me?
964
00:52:23,850 --> 00:52:24,880
Impossible.
965
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,210
How can you say?
How do you know?
966
00:52:27,210 --> 00:52:31,390
Cyrano, you have her confidence.
You could find out.
967
00:52:39,300 --> 00:52:40,690
Nonsense, I say.
968
00:52:42,260 --> 00:52:43,440
Oh, very well.
969
00:52:43,870 --> 00:52:45,190
I'll scout the terrain.
970
00:52:45,230 --> 00:52:47,200
Listen, Cyrano,
intelligently, discreetly.
971
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:48,160
Yes.
972
00:52:48,190 --> 00:52:49,340
With finesse.
973
00:52:52,010 --> 00:52:55,510
And, uh, what do you think
of Christian after all these weeks?
974
00:52:55,620 --> 00:52:58,030
He is beautiful,
but he's brilliant.
975
00:52:58,070 --> 00:52:59,760
- And I love him.
- Good!
976
00:52:59,870 --> 00:53:01,750
Uh, do you find him intellectual?
977
00:53:01,790 --> 00:53:03,600
- More so than you, even.
- Huh?
978
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,470
- Oh, I didn't mean.
- No, no, no, I am glad.
979
00:53:06,500 --> 00:53:09,290
No man ever so beautifully
said those things.
980
00:53:09,330 --> 00:53:11,900
Those pretty nothings
to everything.
981
00:53:12,310 --> 00:53:15,780
Sometimes, he,. he, he falls
into a reverie.
982
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,110
His inspiration..fails.
983
00:53:20,050 --> 00:53:23,940
But, then all at once,
he will say something absolutely...
984
00:53:23,980 --> 00:53:25,370
Ah!
985
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:26,760
Really?
986
00:53:27,470 --> 00:53:28,910
How like a man!
987
00:53:28,940 --> 00:53:32,220
You think because a man
has a handsome face he must be a fool.
988
00:53:33,330 --> 00:53:34,790
Not necessarily.
989
00:53:34,830 --> 00:53:38,410
Uh, he talks well about, uh,
matters of the heart?
990
00:53:38,450 --> 00:53:42,420
He does not talk.
He rhapsodizes. He dreams.
991
00:53:42,460 --> 00:53:46,360
Only the other night he said to me,
extemporaneously, mind you.
992
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:47,220
Oh, of course.
993
00:53:47,980 --> 00:53:50,660
'Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
994
00:53:50,700 --> 00:53:54,760
'Plucking the flowers
we will keep the plants in bloom.'
995
00:53:55,720 --> 00:53:56,730
Well?
996
00:53:56,770 --> 00:53:58,530
Umm, passable.
997
00:53:58,950 --> 00:54:00,010
He writes well?
998
00:54:00,050 --> 00:54:02,080
Wonderfully, listen:
999
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,510
'Knowing you have in store
more heart to give
1000
00:54:05,550 --> 00:54:08,160
- 'than I to find heart room...'
- The first he has too much heart,
1001
00:54:08,190 --> 00:54:10,400
then too little. Just how much heart
does he need?
1002
00:54:10,470 --> 00:54:11,740
You are teasing.
1003
00:54:11,870 --> 00:54:12,870
You are jealous!
1004
00:54:12,910 --> 00:54:13,690
Jealous?
1005
00:54:13,730 --> 00:54:14,440
Yes.
1006
00:54:14,470 --> 00:54:15,840
Poets are all alike.
1007
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:19,660
Would you dare
criticize these lines?
1008
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:25,100
'Only believe that unto you
my whole heart gives one cry.
1009
00:54:25,540 --> 00:54:29,470
'And writing, writes down
more than you receive.
1010
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,010
'Sending you kisses
through my fingertips.
1011
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,020
'Lady, oh, read my letter
with your lips.'
1012
00:54:39,340 --> 00:54:43,820
Yes, those last lines,
but he overwrites.
1013
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:44,970
Listen to this.
1014
00:54:45,010 --> 00:54:46,000
Do you know
them all by heart?
1015
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,070
Every one.
1016
00:54:47,110 --> 00:54:48,500
Well, I may call
that flattering.
1017
00:54:48,530 --> 00:54:49,310
He is a master.
1018
00:54:49,350 --> 00:54:51,850
- Oh, come..
- Yes, a master.
1019
00:54:51,860 --> 00:54:55,270
Huh, a master,...
if you will.
1020
00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:00,520
And, uh, when do you
bestow the laurel wreath?
1021
00:55:00,540 --> 00:55:05,290
How many prodigies of poetry
must this new Hercules perform?
1022
00:55:05,390 --> 00:55:06,490
I do not know.
1023
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:11,580
My friend, you men own the world
and all that's in it.
1024
00:55:12,020 --> 00:55:17,990
Woman is at best a prize, a property
valued much the same as a horse or a dog,
1025
00:55:18,150 --> 00:55:22,010
unlike the pear and sheen of skin
and soundness of teeth and limb.
1026
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:27,870
Well, if I must be chattel,
then the terms shall be mine,
1027
00:55:27,910 --> 00:55:31,480
and the price according
to my own values.
1028
00:55:31,510 --> 00:55:32,670
There.
1029
00:55:34,070 --> 00:55:35,460
I see.
1030
00:55:37,060 --> 00:55:39,880
Christian tells me
that you meet tonight.
1031
00:55:42,510 --> 00:55:45,210
What would you have him
speak about?
1032
00:55:46,230 --> 00:55:47,910
Oh, nothing,
1033
00:55:48,260 --> 00:55:49,530
and everything.
1034
00:55:49,980 --> 00:55:54,140
I shall say, speak to me
of love in your own words.
1035
00:55:54,550 --> 00:55:56,810
Improvise, rhapsodize.
1036
00:55:57,540 --> 00:55:58,790
Be eloquent.
1037
00:55:59,910 --> 00:56:01,540
But you will not tell him,
will you?
1038
00:56:01,570 --> 00:56:03,270
Ah, perish the thought.
1039
00:56:03,590 --> 00:56:06,370
Madame, Compte de Guiche.
1040
00:56:10,720 --> 00:56:12,820
(Sigh)
Madame.
1041
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:16,880
Monsieur.
1042
00:56:17,770 --> 00:56:18,770
Madame.
1043
00:56:21,570 --> 00:56:24,270
Monsieur.
(Crunch)
1044
00:56:33,430 --> 00:56:35,090
- Christian, quick.
- No.
1045
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,030
There's still time to learn your lines.
No.
1046
00:56:37,070 --> 00:56:39,760
I have some brilliant phrases for you,
brilliant, sensitive...
1047
00:56:39,790 --> 00:56:40,500
No.
1048
00:56:41,150 --> 00:56:42,160
I'll have not more of it.
1049
00:56:42,190 --> 00:56:44,250
Taking all my words, my sentences
all from you,
1050
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,490
- making our love a little comedy.
- Don't you real...
1051
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,480
It was a game at first,
but now she cares.
1052
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:49,390
Huh?
1053
00:56:49,430 --> 00:56:50,750
Thanks to you.
Uh.
1054
00:56:50,790 --> 00:56:53,060
I'm not afraid any longer.
I'll speak for myself, now.
1055
00:56:53,090 --> 00:56:53,720
Oh, undoubtedly.
1056
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,990
I will. You shall see!
1057
00:56:56,500 --> 00:56:59,110
Besides, I know enough
to take a woman in my arms,
1058
00:56:59,150 --> 00:57:00,870
and tonight, I will.
1059
00:57:04,070 --> 00:57:05,420
(knocking on door)
- Christian!
1060
00:57:05,450 --> 00:57:07,210
Thank you, my friend,
and goodbye.
1061
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:09,040
- Christian, I beg of you.
- Leave me!
1062
00:57:09,070 --> 00:57:10,830
- You're making a grave error.
- Go away!
1063
00:57:13,540 --> 00:57:14,540
So be it.
1064
00:57:16,950 --> 00:57:18,600
(door opens)
1065
00:57:20,300 --> 00:57:21,440
Christian.
1066
00:57:21,470 --> 00:57:22,580
Roxane.
1067
00:57:23,190 --> 00:57:25,330
I'm so glad you are early.
1068
00:57:26,430 --> 00:57:28,400
Let us stay out here
in the moonlight.
1069
00:57:29,150 --> 00:57:30,490
It's so pleasant.
1070
00:57:32,780 --> 00:57:33,630
Sit down.
1071
00:57:36,450 --> 00:57:37,720
There, so.
1072
00:57:40,770 --> 00:57:43,780
Now, speak to me.
1073
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:45,470
I love you.
1074
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,330
Yes, speak to me of love.
1075
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,390
I...love you.
1076
00:57:53,430 --> 00:57:55,640
Now, be eloquent.
Be brilliant for me.
1077
00:57:56,300 --> 00:57:57,940
Tonight of all nights.
1078
00:57:58,250 --> 00:58:01,560
I love you....so.
1079
00:58:03,610 --> 00:58:07,630
You have your scene.
Now, improvise, rhapsodize.
1080
00:58:07,660 --> 00:58:11,570
I love you...
very much!
1081
00:58:14,500 --> 00:58:17,600
I ask for cream,
and you give me milk and water.
1082
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:22,490
Tell me firstly,
how you love me.
1083
00:58:22,530 --> 00:58:23,780
Very much!
1084
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:26,440
Is that all you feel?
1085
00:58:26,470 --> 00:58:29,360
Your throat, if only
I might kiss it.
1086
00:58:29,390 --> 00:58:30,170
Christian!
1087
00:58:30,210 --> 00:58:31,520
But, Roxane, I love you.
1088
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:32,860
Again.
1089
00:58:32,890 --> 00:58:34,450
No, not again.
I do not love you.
1090
00:58:37,490 --> 00:58:38,540
That is better.
1091
00:58:39,380 --> 00:58:42,870
I...I adore you!
1092
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:43,870
Oh!
1093
00:58:44,570 --> 00:58:46,070
I know I grow absurd.
1094
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:48,870
And that distresses me as much
as if you had grown ugly!
1095
00:58:51,020 --> 00:58:54,910
Please. Gather your dreams
together into words.
1096
00:58:54,950 --> 00:58:57,830
I...um, I...
1097
00:58:57,870 --> 00:59:00,280
I know. You love me!
Good night!
1098
00:59:00,310 --> 00:59:01,440
Oh, but wait, please!
1099
00:59:01,470 --> 00:59:02,530
I was going to say...
1100
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:04,510
That you adore me.
Yes, I know that, too.
1101
00:59:04,540 --> 00:59:06,720
-No, go away.
- I....
1102
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,290
(door slams shut)
1103
00:59:25,170 --> 00:59:28,330
(Cyrano claps his hands)
1104
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:29,870
A great success.
1105
00:59:30,940 --> 00:59:31,720
Help me.
1106
00:59:31,750 --> 00:59:33,620
Not I.
Speak for yourself, my friend.
1107
00:59:33,660 --> 00:59:35,220
Why I...I can't.
1108
00:59:35,250 --> 00:59:38,040
Well, at least you know enough
to take a woman in your arms.
1109
00:59:38,070 --> 00:59:39,680
Oh, Cyrano, please!
1110
00:59:39,790 --> 00:59:41,610
What, and make your love
a little comedy.
1111
00:59:41,650 --> 00:59:44,060
Cyrano, I cannot live
unless I win her back, now.
1112
00:59:44,100 --> 00:59:44,610
This moment!
1113
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,890
This moment. How the devil
am I to teach you now, this mo...
1114
00:59:47,980 --> 00:59:48,940
(Christian)
Her window.
1115
00:59:49,510 --> 00:59:51,690
- Help me, Cyrano, help me.
- Shhhh.
1116
00:59:53,290 --> 00:59:54,800
(Cyrano)
It does seem fairly dark.
1117
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:55,780
(Christian)
Well? Well?
1118
00:59:57,490 --> 00:59:59,190
(Cyrano)
It is more than
you deserve.
1119
01:00:00,550 --> 01:00:02,010
(Cyrano)
I must try out what
can be done.
1120
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:03,040
(Cyrano)
Stand over there.
1121
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,500
(Cyrano)
Idiot, here, before the balcony.
I'll whisper you what to say.
1122
01:00:09,540 --> 01:00:11,380
- She'll hear..
- Shhhh. Call her.
1123
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:13,690
(Christian)
Roxane.
1124
01:00:14,950 --> 01:00:17,330
(Christian louder)
Roxane.
1125
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,220
(balcony window opens)
1126
01:00:21,690 --> 01:00:22,760
Who's calling?
1127
01:00:23,430 --> 01:00:24,240
Christian.
1128
01:00:24,570 --> 01:00:25,670
You again.
1129
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:27,420
I...had to tell you.
1130
01:00:27,710 --> 01:00:29,340
No. Go away.
You tell me nothing.
1131
01:00:29,370 --> 01:00:30,390
Please.
1132
01:00:30,430 --> 01:00:32,240
You do not
love me anymore.
1133
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:34,810
(Christian copies Cyrano)
No, not anymore.
1134
01:00:35,530 --> 01:00:37,340
I love you evermore,
1135
01:00:38,150 --> 01:00:40,050
and evermore and more.
1136
01:00:41,190 --> 01:00:42,640
Oh, a little better.
1137
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,160
Love grows and struggles
like an angry child.
1138
01:00:48,710 --> 01:00:50,620
Breaking my heart.
1139
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,070
His cradle...
1140
01:00:53,110 --> 01:00:54,630
Better still.
1141
01:00:55,230 --> 01:00:57,390
But such a babe is dangerous.
1142
01:00:57,910 --> 01:01:00,140
Why not have
smothered it newborn?
1143
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:03,290
And so I do.
1144
01:01:03,650 --> 01:01:05,290
And yet he lives.
1145
01:01:06,340 --> 01:01:08,910
I found as you sha...
you shall find
1146
01:01:10,250 --> 01:01:14,400
this newborn babe...
and infant Hercules!
1147
01:01:14,900 --> 01:01:15,430
Good.
1148
01:01:15,460 --> 01:01:16,820
Strong enough at birth
1149
01:01:17,740 --> 01:01:19,600
to strangle
those two serpents
1150
01:01:20,010 --> 01:01:20,550
doubt and
1151
01:01:20,590 --> 01:01:21,090
<i>What?</i>
1152
01:01:21,250 --> 01:01:22,600
pride!
1153
01:01:23,410 --> 01:01:24,440
Why, very good.
1154
01:01:25,330 --> 01:01:27,880
Only, tell me why
you speak so haltingly.
1155
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,580
Has your imagination
gone....lame?
1156
01:01:33,260 --> 01:01:35,130
(Cyrano)
This grows too difficult.
1157
01:01:35,530 --> 01:01:38,320
Your words tonight
hesitate, why?
1158
01:01:38,630 --> 01:01:42,970
Through the warm summer gloom,
they grope in darkness
1159
01:01:43,170 --> 01:01:44,690
toward the light of you.
1160
01:01:46,010 --> 01:01:47,860
My words are
heavy with honey,
1161
01:01:47,900 --> 01:01:49,360
like returning bees.
1162
01:01:50,190 --> 01:01:52,310
Yet they must fly so high.
1163
01:01:52,530 --> 01:01:54,140
Come nearer then.
Stand you on the bench.
1164
01:01:54,170 --> 01:01:55,000
No.
1165
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:56,190
Then I'll come down.
1166
01:01:56,230 --> 01:01:57,110
NO!
1167
01:01:57,570 --> 01:01:59,380
And why so great a no?
1168
01:02:00,490 --> 01:02:02,920
Let me enjoy the one
moment I ever...
1169
01:02:03,710 --> 01:02:07,110
My one chance
to speak to you...unseen.
1170
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:08,290
Unseen?
1171
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:09,740
Yes. Yes.
1172
01:02:10,070 --> 01:02:12,380
Night making all things
dimly beautiful
1173
01:02:12,410 --> 01:02:13,770
one veil over us both.
1174
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,040
You need no eyes
to hear my heart.
1175
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:20,410
Oh, tonight, let it seem as if
I speak for the first time.
1176
01:02:21,150 --> 01:02:22,110
For the first time?
1177
01:02:22,140 --> 01:02:23,000
Yes.
1178
01:02:23,940 --> 01:02:25,780
Your voice, even,
is not the same.
1179
01:02:25,810 --> 01:02:26,990
How should it be.
1180
01:02:27,030 --> 01:02:28,450
I have another
voice tonight.
1181
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:31,250
My own, myself,... daring!
1182
01:02:31,610 --> 01:02:32,610
Why daring?
1183
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,600
Because, what am I, what is any man
would he dare ask for you?
1184
01:02:36,630 --> 01:02:40,780
Therefore my heart has hidden behind
poetic words and tinsel phrases.
1185
01:02:41,260 --> 01:02:43,640
But are they not sweet,
those pretty phrases?
1186
01:02:43,670 --> 01:02:45,630
Not enough sweet
for you and me tonight.
1187
01:02:47,530 --> 01:02:49,240
You never spoke
to me like this.
1188
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,510
I tell you, there comes
one moment, once,
1189
01:02:51,540 --> 01:02:53,800
and heaven help those
who pass that moment by,
1190
01:02:53,830 --> 01:02:56,110
when beauty stands
looking into the soul
1191
01:02:56,150 --> 01:03:01,810
with grave, sweet eyes,
that sicken at pretty words.
1192
01:03:02,650 --> 01:03:06,260
Yes...that is love.
1193
01:03:06,290 --> 01:03:07,010
Love.
1194
01:03:07,050 --> 01:03:09,260
A love beyond breath,
beyond reason,
1195
01:03:09,290 --> 01:03:11,590
beyond love's own
power of loving.
1196
01:03:11,630 --> 01:03:14,200
Your name is like a golden bell
hung in my heart,
1197
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:18,450
and when I think of you I tremble,
and the bell swings and rings,
1198
01:03:18,610 --> 01:03:28,580
Roxane! Roxane!
Along my veins...Roxane.
1199
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,970
Yes...that is love.
1200
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,770
(Cyrano)
Yes...that is love.
1201
01:03:36,090 --> 01:03:38,920
That wind of terrible
and jealous beauty,
1202
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:44,200
that dark fire,
that soaring, blinding music.
1203
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,690
Yet, you may take my happiness
to make you happier
1204
01:03:47,730 --> 01:03:49,410
even though you
never know I gave it to you.
1205
01:03:49,940 --> 01:03:55,700
Only let me hear, sometimes, all alone,
the distant laughter of your joy.
1206
01:03:56,740 --> 01:03:58,470
Do you begin
to understand a little?
1207
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,200
Can you feel my soul there
in the darkness breathe on you?
1208
01:04:03,230 --> 01:04:06,630
Oh, only tonight,
now I dare say these things.
1209
01:04:06,790 --> 01:04:09,400
I to you, and you hear them.
1210
01:04:10,030 --> 01:04:12,650
It is my voice, mine, my own
that makes you tremble
1211
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,390
there in the green gloom,
above me, for you do tremble
1212
01:04:15,430 --> 01:04:18,110
as a blossom among the leaves,
you tremble, and I can feel
1213
01:04:18,140 --> 01:04:19,670
all the way down along
this jasmine branch
1214
01:04:19,710 --> 01:04:23,700
whether you will unhold
the passion of you trembling.
1215
01:04:24,340 --> 01:04:25,960
Yes, I do tremble.
1216
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,880
And I weep, and I love you,
and I am yours,
1217
01:04:29,910 --> 01:04:31,720
and you have made me thus.
1218
01:04:36,710 --> 01:04:38,250
I have done this to you.
1219
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,380
I myself.
1220
01:04:44,970 --> 01:04:47,240
Only let me ask
one thing more.
1221
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:48,900
I want a kiss!
1222
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:52,080
You ask me for...
1223
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:53,060
I...yes.
1224
01:04:53,100 --> 01:04:54,260
That is to say...
1225
01:04:54,780 --> 01:04:55,770
I mean...
1226
01:04:56,140 --> 01:04:57,450
You've gone too far.
1227
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,370
If she's willing, why
not make the most of it?
1228
01:04:59,410 --> 01:05:04,270
I, I ask.
I know I ask too much.
1229
01:05:05,150 --> 01:05:06,420
Only one?
1230
01:05:07,550 --> 01:05:08,630
Is that all?
1231
01:05:09,150 --> 01:05:12,210
All?
How much more than all?
1232
01:05:12,250 --> 01:05:16,030
I know I startle you,
I...I ask, I ask you to refuse.
1233
01:05:16,070 --> 01:05:17,200
Why? Why? Why?
1234
01:05:17,230 --> 01:05:18,350
Christian, be quiet.
1235
01:05:18,390 --> 01:05:19,430
What is that your say?
1236
01:05:19,470 --> 01:05:21,810
I am angry with myself,
because I know I go too far
1237
01:05:21,850 --> 01:05:26,270
and so I say to myself,
CHRISTIAN, BE QUIET!
1238
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:28,300
Watch it, someone comes.
1239
01:05:36,390 --> 01:05:39,180
Well, sir, I am looking
for the house of madame Roxane Robin.
1240
01:05:39,220 --> 01:05:43,450
This is not the house. That way.
To the right. Keep to the right.
1241
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:44,330
I thank you sir.
1242
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,880
I shall say my beads for you
to the very last bead.
1243
01:05:49,340 --> 01:05:50,680
Win me that kiss?
1244
01:05:51,370 --> 01:05:52,070
No!
1245
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:53,780
Sooner or later.
1246
01:05:59,170 --> 01:06:00,510
So that is true.
1247
01:06:01,460 --> 01:06:07,540
Sooner or later must be so, because,
she is young, and you are handsome.
1248
01:06:09,170 --> 01:06:15,240
Since it must be, I'd rather be
myself the cause, if it must be.
1249
01:06:16,990 --> 01:06:19,620
(balcony window opens)
1250
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:24,660
Are you still there?
1251
01:06:24,690 --> 01:06:25,470
(Cyrano)
Yes.
1252
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:28,740
We were speaking of...
1253
01:06:30,090 --> 01:06:32,450
A kiss.
- A kiss.
1254
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,340
And what is a kiss
when all is done?
1255
01:06:34,930 --> 01:06:37,080
A vow taken before
the shrine of memory.
1256
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,650
A rosy dot
over the "i" of loving.
1257
01:06:39,790 --> 01:06:42,950
- A secret whisper
to listen if the past.
1258
01:06:42,980 --> 01:06:43,650
Shhh.
1259
01:06:43,690 --> 01:06:46,720
A moment free to mortal
with a rush of wing from Ceden.
1260
01:06:46,750 --> 01:06:48,220
A sacrament of blossoms.
1261
01:06:48,260 --> 01:06:53,250
A new song sung by two hearts
to an old, simple tune.
1262
01:06:53,290 --> 01:06:54,430
Hush.
1263
01:06:54,460 --> 01:06:56,050
Why? What shame?
1264
01:06:58,010 --> 01:07:01,310
No.
No shame.
1265
01:07:01,610 --> 01:07:02,770
Then come.
1266
01:07:03,550 --> 01:07:05,680
Gather your sacred blossoms.
1267
01:07:07,250 --> 01:07:09,230
Your moment made immortal.
1268
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:09,860
Climb!
1269
01:07:10,660 --> 01:07:12,300
- But, climb?
- Many more!
1270
01:07:22,410 --> 01:07:23,760
Roxane.
1271
01:07:33,870 --> 01:07:34,690
(sigh)
1272
01:07:36,090 --> 01:07:39,770
Ah, Roxane.
I have won what I have wanted.
1273
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:45,410
A feast of love,
and I am faint with hunger.
1274
01:07:48,110 --> 01:07:51,040
Yet, I have something here
that is mine now,...
1275
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,380
and was not mine before.
1276
01:07:54,220 --> 01:07:56,790
I spoke the words
that won her.
1277
01:07:57,890 --> 01:08:05,890
She kisses my words.
My words...upon his lips.
1278
01:08:07,230 --> 01:08:08,650
(gate opens)
1279
01:08:13,250 --> 01:08:14,670
What, dear Father,
lost your way again?
1280
01:08:14,710 --> 01:08:16,270
But, she lives here,
Madame Robin.
1281
01:08:16,300 --> 01:08:17,830
Oh, I thought
you said, Rolen?
1282
01:08:17,860 --> 01:08:19,850
No, r..o..b..i..n, Robin.
1283
01:08:19,890 --> 01:08:21,030
Oh, Robin, I see.
1284
01:08:21,070 --> 01:08:23,090
I'm too old
to chase wild geese
1285
01:08:23,130 --> 01:08:25,080
- my feet...
- Oh, what a shame,
1286
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,920
(knocking on door)
however, I'm sure there's someone at home.
1287
01:08:29,330 --> 01:08:30,120
(door opens)
1288
01:08:30,150 --> 01:08:30,860
What is it?
1289
01:08:30,890 --> 01:08:34,570
Yeah, I'm looking for
the young lady, Madam Rolen
1290
01:08:34,610 --> 01:08:35,840
Rolen?
1291
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:37,080
Robin!
1292
01:08:37,950 --> 01:08:40,050
Madame!
A letter for you.
1293
01:08:40,590 --> 01:08:42,070
Yes, yes, I heard.
1294
01:08:42,970 --> 01:08:43,650
Cyrano.
1295
01:08:43,690 --> 01:08:46,080
Uh, passing by cousin,
I saw this light.
1296
01:08:46,700 --> 01:08:50,330
Uh, some matter
profitable to the soul.
1297
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:52,550
A very noble lord gave it to me.
1298
01:08:52,750 --> 01:08:53,640
(Christian)
What is it?
1299
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,100
<i>My regiment has been
ordered to the front. </i>
1300
01:08:57,130 --> 01:08:59,490
<i>I cannot allow you
to delay any longer.</i>
1301
01:08:59,530 --> 01:09:01,820
<i>This simple old monk,
who knows nothing,</i>
1302
01:09:01,850 --> 01:09:04,190
<i>will marry us tonight.
My love, Antoine de Guiche.</i>
1303
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,110
(Roxane changes everything)
1304
01:09:07,150 --> 01:09:08,880
Father, this letter
concerns you.
1305
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,930
"Madame, the Cardinal
will have his way,
1306
01:09:13,970 --> 01:09:15,530
"although against your will.
1307
01:09:15,710 --> 01:09:18,150
"That is why I am
sending this to you,
1308
01:09:18,180 --> 01:09:20,470
"by a most holy man.
1309
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,160
"Intelligent, discreet.
1310
01:09:23,580 --> 01:09:26,660
"You will communicate
to him our order to perform
1311
01:09:26,900 --> 01:09:31,160
"here and at once
the rite of holy matrimony.
1312
01:09:32,570 --> 01:09:35,910
"You and Christian will be
married privately in your house.
1313
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,760
"Be resigned to the
Cardinal's command,
1314
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:41,930
"who sends herewith
his blessings.
1315
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,060
"Your very humble,
and etcetera..."
1316
01:09:44,940 --> 01:09:46,750
Oh, this is terrible.
1317
01:09:48,220 --> 01:09:49,850
Oh, you're to be
the, uh...
1318
01:09:49,890 --> 01:09:51,490
I am to be the bridegroom.
1319
01:09:53,950 --> 01:09:56,230
Uh, look here.
A postscript.
1320
01:09:56,780 --> 01:10:02,320
"Give to the monastery,
in my name 120 pieces of gold."
1321
01:10:02,350 --> 01:10:04,070
One hundred and twenty...
1322
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,530
Oh, a worthy lord.
A very worthy lord.
1323
01:10:09,470 --> 01:10:12,030
Daughter, resign yourself.
1324
01:10:12,070 --> 01:10:14,080
I am resigned.
1325
01:10:22,350 --> 01:10:24,500
The Guiche is coming, too.
Don't let him enter.
1326
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:25,730
Not let him enter?
1327
01:10:25,770 --> 01:10:27,790
Until we're married, please.
1328
01:10:28,610 --> 01:10:30,340
(door slams shut)
1329
01:10:44,330 --> 01:10:45,250
(Count)
What is that?
1330
01:10:45,340 --> 01:10:46,330
(Cyrano)
Me?
1331
01:10:46,370 --> 01:10:48,360
- Why, where did you come from?
- The moon.
1332
01:10:48,390 --> 01:10:49,330
- You...
- From the moon.
1333
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:50,690
I have just returned
from the moon.
1334
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:52,420
- The fellow's mad!
-Like a bomb, I tell you,
1335
01:10:52,460 --> 01:10:54,130
- I fell from the moon!
- Your feet must...
1336
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:55,450
- I say THE MOON!
1337
01:10:55,480 --> 01:10:57,580
- Very well, if you say so.
- Thank you.
1338
01:10:57,610 --> 01:10:58,610
- Raving mad.
1339
01:11:00,660 --> 01:11:02,850
- Where am I?
- My dear sir!
1340
01:11:02,890 --> 01:11:04,080
- What place is this?
What country?
1341
01:11:04,110 --> 01:11:06,170
- Please, let me pass.
- This face, good heavens!
1342
01:11:06,210 --> 01:11:08,710
Maul, a robber.
Where am I?
1343
01:11:08,750 --> 01:11:12,830
- A lady is waiting for me.
- Oh, this is Paris, huh?
1344
01:11:12,870 --> 01:11:13,620
You fool!
1345
01:11:13,650 --> 01:11:14,800
Dear old Paris.
1346
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,750
Excuse my appearance.
I arrived by the last thunderbolt.
1347
01:11:17,790 --> 01:11:19,970
A trifled singed
as I passed through the ether.
1348
01:11:20,470 --> 01:11:21,320
Monsieur!
1349
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:22,080
Sir?
1350
01:11:22,130 --> 01:11:23,750
That will do, now. I wish...
1351
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,600
I know, you wish to look for
my own list of nature for moons
1352
01:11:25,630 --> 01:11:27,820
and happiness and character
of it's surface, if any.
1353
01:11:27,850 --> 01:11:29,060
I desire no such thing, I...
1354
01:11:29,100 --> 01:11:30,060
Of course not.
1355
01:11:32,940 --> 01:11:34,330
You wish to know
by what mysterious
1356
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:35,570
means I reached the moon.
1357
01:11:35,610 --> 01:11:37,870
Well, a very secret affair of state,
1358
01:11:37,900 --> 01:11:41,770
but confidentially
a new invention of my own.
1359
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:43,190
Drunk, two ways.
Well a man..
1360
01:11:43,230 --> 01:11:46,050
Oh, no. In truth I have
my choice of several inventions.
1361
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:46,600
Uh?
1362
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:50,850
Yes, several ways
to violate the virgin sky.
1363
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:52,210
Several?
1364
01:11:52,250 --> 01:11:53,510
Several.
1365
01:11:53,540 --> 01:11:57,520
As, for instance, smoke
having a natural tendency to rise,
1366
01:11:57,550 --> 01:12:02,050
blow in a globe
enough to raise me.
1367
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:03,300
Yes, that makes one.
1368
01:12:03,330 --> 01:12:06,780
Again, I might construct a rocket
in the shape of a HUGE locust
1369
01:12:06,820 --> 01:12:10,810
driven by impulses up within
a saltpeter from the rear
1370
01:12:10,850 --> 01:12:14,050
and thus speed upwards,
like, thus!
1371
01:12:14,260 --> 01:12:15,260
Yes, another?
1372
01:12:15,290 --> 01:12:18,950
Finally, seated on an iron plate,
hurl a magnet into the air.
1373
01:12:18,980 --> 01:12:21,810
The iron follows.
I catch the magnet.
1374
01:12:21,850 --> 01:12:25,330
Throw it again, and
so proceed indefinitely.
1375
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,460
Excellent, and
which did you adopt?
1376
01:12:31,450 --> 01:12:32,370
Why none of them.
1377
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:34,350
Yet another.
1378
01:12:34,390 --> 01:12:35,740
Which was...?
1379
01:12:46,810 --> 01:12:47,500
Guess.
1380
01:12:47,860 --> 01:12:49,370
Ahhh, I can't!
1381
01:12:50,090 --> 01:12:51,100
Try.
1382
01:12:52,340 --> 01:12:53,980
Interesting idiot, this.
1383
01:13:05,350 --> 01:13:06,540
Have you guessed it yet?
1384
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:07,960
Why, no, what is it?
1385
01:13:13,780 --> 01:13:15,870
Alas, you will never know,
but no matter.
1386
01:13:15,910 --> 01:13:18,470
You are free and
they are bound in wedlock.
1387
01:13:18,510 --> 01:13:21,010
I drunk that voice,
and that nose, Cyrano!
1388
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:23,710
Cyrano. This very moment
they have exchanged vows.
1389
01:13:23,750 --> 01:13:24,460
Who?
1390
01:13:29,820 --> 01:13:31,530
My sincere compliments.
1391
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,900
You, also, my traveler in space.
1392
01:13:34,940 --> 01:13:37,800
My Lord, the heads of Capathieu
and Joyce have joined together.
1393
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:38,750
Quite so!
1394
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:44,160
Madame, kindly bid
your... husband farewell.
1395
01:13:44,190 --> 01:13:46,670
Your regiment leaves tonight, sir.
Report at once!
1396
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:49,320
But, the Cadets are not called.
1397
01:13:49,350 --> 01:13:51,850
They are, indeed, and
under my command.
1398
01:13:52,710 --> 01:13:55,080
Out there we may
have an accounting.
1399
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:58,130
Somehow, that news
fails to disquiet me.
1400
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,190
Here are the orders.
Baron, deliver this.
1401
01:14:02,500 --> 01:14:03,650
Christian!
1402
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,660
The bridal night
is not so near.
1403
01:14:10,090 --> 01:14:13,400
Somehow that news
fails to disquiet me.
1404
01:14:17,710 --> 01:14:19,340
Baron, you have your orders.
1405
01:14:36,270 --> 01:14:37,530
Farewell, Roxane.
1406
01:14:38,290 --> 01:14:40,490
Take care of him, for me.
Promise me never to let him
1407
01:14:40,530 --> 01:14:41,400
do anything dangerous.
1408
01:14:41,430 --> 01:14:42,890
I will do my best.
I cannot promise.
1409
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:44,970
I thought you brave always.
Make him be careful.
1410
01:14:45,010 --> 01:14:46,070
Yes, yes, I'll try.
1411
01:14:46,110 --> 01:14:47,840
Be sure to keep him
warm and dry!
1412
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:49,150
Yes, if possible.
1413
01:14:49,190 --> 01:14:51,820
Have him write to me
every single day!
1414
01:14:51,860 --> 01:14:54,090
That, I promise you.
1415
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,970
(the war with Spain)
1416
01:15:40,820 --> 01:15:41,540
Halt!
1417
01:16:03,370 --> 01:16:03,920
Uh!
1418
01:16:13,930 --> 01:16:18,590
(Madame Baroness de Neuvillette,
Rue Marais No. 12, Paris)
1419
01:16:46,610 --> 01:16:48,170
The situation
is simple, gentlemen.
1420
01:16:48,420 --> 01:16:53,340
We have besieged Arras.
The Prince of Spain has besieged us.
1421
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,960
Consequently, we
are surrounded.
1422
01:16:56,050 --> 01:16:58,920
- A fine war. Where
the besiegers are besieged
1423
01:16:58,950 --> 01:17:00,020
and starve to death.
1424
01:17:00,060 --> 01:17:01,990
Yes, but the Marshal has
devised a brilliant plan
1425
01:17:02,030 --> 01:17:03,480
for bringing in food
this very night.
1426
01:17:03,510 --> 01:17:04,460
Now, see here.
1427
01:17:04,500 --> 01:17:06,240
Spare us the details, Colonel.
1428
01:17:06,270 --> 01:17:08,820
Merely inform us
when the food arrives.
1429
01:17:08,860 --> 01:17:11,380
True, we are hungry.
But why blame me?
1430
01:17:11,700 --> 01:17:13,320
I'm only your Colonel.
1431
01:17:14,700 --> 01:17:16,910
Oh, yes, I know
you disprove of me.
1432
01:17:17,020 --> 01:17:18,940
Call me courtier, politician.
1433
01:17:19,430 --> 01:17:22,080
Well, I can afford you little hates.
1434
01:17:22,110 --> 01:17:24,730
My conduct under fire
is well known.
1435
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,170
It was only yesterday
I repelled a Spanish attack.
1436
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,070
Pouring my men down
like an avalanche.
1437
01:17:29,250 --> 01:17:30,710
I, myself lead the charge.
1438
01:17:30,900 --> 01:17:33,330
- And your white scarf?
(through a cannon barrel)
1439
01:17:33,370 --> 01:17:34,130
Cyrano!
1440
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:39,140
And your white scarf?
1441
01:17:39,150 --> 01:17:40,480
Eh, you heard that episode?
1442
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:44,110
Yes, I was so far in advance
I was in danger of being captured.
1443
01:17:44,180 --> 01:17:46,570
But I thought quickly,
took off and flung away
1444
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,290
the scarf that marked
my military rank.
1445
01:17:48,420 --> 01:17:51,150
And so being inconspicuous
escaped among my own force,
1446
01:17:51,410 --> 01:17:54,250
rallied them, returned,
and won the day.
1447
01:17:54,290 --> 01:17:55,500
What do you say to that?
1448
01:17:55,540 --> 01:17:58,550
Still, enough that is not likely
to resign the privilege of being a target.
1449
01:17:58,580 --> 01:18:01,690
How pleasant for you
that you are denied that privilege.
1450
01:18:01,730 --> 01:18:03,650
Pleasant?
Lend me your scarf.
1451
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:05,570
With your permission I shall
lead the first charge tonight
1452
01:18:05,610 --> 01:18:06,890
wearing it over my shoulder.
1453
01:18:06,930 --> 01:18:07,720
What bluster.
1454
01:18:07,750 --> 01:18:09,630
You're safe making that offer,
and you know it.
1455
01:18:09,670 --> 01:18:12,620
My scarf lies on the
river bank between the lines.
1456
01:18:12,650 --> 01:18:15,560
A spot swept by artillery.
Impossible to reach alive.
1457
01:18:15,700 --> 01:18:16,700
Yes.
1458
01:18:16,730 --> 01:18:20,500
(displays the Colonel's scarf)
1459
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:22,410
Here.
1460
01:18:22,580 --> 01:18:24,590
(laughter)
1461
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:26,500
Thank you.
1462
01:18:28,180 --> 01:18:31,000
This bit of white is
what I need to make a signal.
1463
01:18:31,820 --> 01:18:33,360
I was hesitating.
1464
01:18:33,940 --> 01:18:35,720
You have decided me.
1465
01:18:41,370 --> 01:18:43,010
- Stand or I'll fire!
- Hold you fire.
1466
01:18:43,050 --> 01:18:44,650
There's a man down
there running away.
1467
01:18:44,690 --> 01:18:46,700
Yes, a Spaniard.
1468
01:18:47,440 --> 01:18:50,310
But very useful as a spy
to both sides.
1469
01:18:51,270 --> 01:18:52,480
As I was about
to tell you.
1470
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,100
The Marshal has withdrawn
more than half our forces here.
1471
01:18:55,140 --> 01:18:57,190
Fortunately, the Spaniards
do not know that.
1472
01:18:57,230 --> 01:19:00,470
Oh, yes, they do now,
and they will attack tonight.
1473
01:19:00,510 --> 01:19:02,240
At this point.
1474
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:04,520
Your revenge, eh?
1475
01:19:04,550 --> 01:19:06,670
I make not great
pretense in loving you.
1476
01:19:06,770 --> 01:19:10,170
But since you gentlemen
esteem yourselves invincible,
1477
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,710
the bravest of the brave,
and all that.
1478
01:19:12,750 --> 01:19:14,120
Why need we be personal.
1479
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,710
The Marshal needs
a diversion, and I serve him
1480
01:19:16,740 --> 01:19:19,040
in choosing as I chose.
1481
01:19:19,210 --> 01:19:21,440
As you can see, Captain,
the great thing is to gain time.
1482
01:19:21,470 --> 01:19:23,070
To hold until the Marshal returns.
1483
01:19:23,180 --> 01:19:24,980
- And to gain time?
1484
01:19:25,490 --> 01:19:31,370
You will all be so kind
as to lay down your lives.
1485
01:19:39,610 --> 01:19:40,700
Christian?
1486
01:19:40,740 --> 01:19:41,400
Yes.
1487
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:46,130
Roxane?
1488
01:19:46,940 --> 01:19:49,260
I should like to say
farewell to her
1489
01:19:49,290 --> 01:19:51,580
with my whole
heart for her to keep.
1490
01:19:53,630 --> 01:19:55,610
I have taken the liberty of...
1491
01:19:58,580 --> 01:20:03,760
(the first letter
Christian is aware of)
1492
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:05,110
But, wait.
1493
01:20:07,270 --> 01:20:08,180
This little spot.
1494
01:20:08,620 --> 01:20:09,360
Spot?
1495
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:10,100
Yes.
1496
01:20:10,470 --> 01:20:11,550
A tear.
1497
01:20:13,500 --> 01:20:14,210
Is nothing.
1498
01:20:14,250 --> 01:20:16,860
A poet while he writes
is like a lover in his lady's arms,
1499
01:20:16,890 --> 01:20:19,060
believing his imagination,
everything seems real.
1500
01:20:19,090 --> 01:20:20,710
There's half the charm
of writing.
1501
01:20:21,230 --> 01:20:24,000
Now, I made this letter
so pathetic, that,
1502
01:20:24,030 --> 01:20:27,290
while I was writing it,
I wept.
1503
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:28,110
You wept?
1504
01:20:28,650 --> 01:20:31,590
Why, yes, because
it is a little thing to die,
1505
01:20:32,500 --> 01:20:36,710
but not to see her,...
that is terrible.
1506
01:20:37,700 --> 01:20:41,890
I shall never...,
you will never...
1507
01:20:42,480 --> 01:20:43,690
Give me that.
1508
01:20:45,190 --> 01:20:48,500
- Halt. Who goes there.
- On the service of the King.
1509
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:01,330
- The King!
- Fall in...
1510
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:11,620
Good evening.
1511
01:21:11,650 --> 01:21:13,540
On the King's service, you?
1512
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:25,850
- Gentlemen,...
- What are you doing here?
1513
01:21:25,890 --> 01:21:28,300
- We heard rumors at home
you were hungry,
1514
01:21:28,340 --> 01:21:29,810
- so we came prepared.
1515
01:21:29,850 --> 01:21:34,500
The Spaniards adored the fare,
but they missed the fowl!
1516
01:21:34,530 --> 01:21:37,560
(soldiers clamor for food)
1517
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:47,020
But why did you come here
into this, this danger?
1518
01:21:47,060 --> 01:21:49,420
They said in Paris
there was no fighting.
1519
01:21:50,450 --> 01:21:53,620
Besides, it was your own fault.
1520
01:22:01,410 --> 01:22:03,770
Think of the
letters you have written me.
1521
01:22:04,050 --> 01:22:06,510
How many times!
Every day!
1522
01:22:06,550 --> 01:22:07,680
Every day?
1523
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:08,820
Of course.
1524
01:22:08,980 --> 01:22:11,560
And each one
more wonderful than the last.
1525
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:14,820
All this, for a few absurd love letters.
1526
01:22:14,860 --> 01:22:18,050
Hush. Absurd?
Your letters...no, never.
1527
01:22:19,030 --> 01:22:22,730
Every one was like hearing your voice
that night in the dark. Remember?
1528
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:26,590
Like your arms around me.
I read them over and over.
1529
01:22:26,630 --> 01:22:30,420
Every page was like
a petal fallen from you soul.
1530
01:22:30,460 --> 01:22:33,350
Like the light
and the fire of a great love.
1531
01:22:33,390 --> 01:22:36,020
- Sweet and strong and true.
- Sweet.
1532
01:22:36,180 --> 01:22:37,280
Strong.
1533
01:22:37,590 --> 01:22:38,490
True?
1534
01:22:41,570 --> 01:22:43,090
Oh, my Christian.
1535
01:22:43,690 --> 01:22:46,420
I came here to ask forgiveness.
1536
01:22:47,660 --> 01:22:49,380
It is time to be forgiven.
1537
01:22:49,860 --> 01:22:51,950
Now, when we
may die so soon.
1538
01:22:53,780 --> 01:22:55,380
Forgive me for being
light and vain
1539
01:22:55,410 --> 01:22:57,570
and loving you only
because you were handsome.
1540
01:22:57,600 --> 01:22:59,230
- For now...
- Now?
1541
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:01,940
I love you for yourself.
1542
01:23:02,350 --> 01:23:04,090
For what you are.
1543
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:05,340
Roxane.
1544
01:23:05,910 --> 01:23:09,000
How you must have suffered.
For you saw how frivolous I was.
1545
01:23:09,030 --> 01:23:11,300
And to be loved
for the mere costume,
1546
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,090
for the poor, casual
body you went about in.
1547
01:23:14,750 --> 01:23:17,620
To a soul like yours,
that must have been torture.
1548
01:23:17,650 --> 01:23:18,390
No.
1549
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:23,140
I understand.
1550
01:23:23,790 --> 01:23:25,930
You cannot perfectly
believe in me,
1551
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:27,530
a...a love like this...
1552
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:29,090
I want no love like this.
1553
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,020
I want love only for...
1554
01:23:31,050 --> 01:23:33,090
Only for what every
woman sees in you.
1555
01:23:33,700 --> 01:23:35,030
I can to better than that.
1556
01:23:35,060 --> 01:23:37,240
No, it...it was best before.
1557
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,090
You do not
altogether know me.
1558
01:23:40,540 --> 01:23:42,260
I was a child.
1559
01:23:42,350 --> 01:23:43,650
I'm a woman now.
1560
01:23:44,250 --> 01:23:46,720
- If...if you were less handsome,
- No.
1561
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:50,130
unattractive, ugly even,
I should love you, still.
1562
01:23:50,770 --> 01:23:51,900
Do you mean that?
1563
01:23:52,510 --> 01:23:53,750
I do mean that.
1564
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:55,020
Ugly?
1565
01:23:55,100 --> 01:23:56,200
Even then.
1566
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:58,050
Now, are you happy?
1567
01:24:03,470 --> 01:24:04,650
Yes.
1568
01:24:04,690 --> 01:24:05,500
What is it?
1569
01:24:06,190 --> 01:24:08,690
Nothing, only, Cyrano...
1570
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:10,830
Cyrano.
1571
01:24:12,050 --> 01:24:14,090
he has something
to tell you.
1572
01:24:16,180 --> 01:24:17,200
Where are you going?
1573
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:20,690
I...will...return...in a moment.
1574
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:30,050
Cyrano.
1575
01:24:30,650 --> 01:24:32,480
Your wife, sir,
she goes with me?
1576
01:24:32,510 --> 01:24:33,340
No, sir, she remains.
1577
01:24:33,380 --> 01:24:34,670
There is still time
for her to escape.
1578
01:24:34,710 --> 01:24:35,640
She stays!
1579
01:24:36,030 --> 01:24:36,790
Very well.
1580
01:24:36,820 --> 01:24:38,950
Someone give me a musket.
I stay here also.
1581
01:24:39,420 --> 01:24:40,640
Sir, you show courage.
1582
01:24:40,670 --> 01:24:42,890
What, shall I run away,
and leave a woman?
1583
01:24:43,450 --> 01:24:45,320
Colonel, my compliments, sir.
1584
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:47,810
What of Roxane?
1585
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:48,470
Wait.
1586
01:24:49,350 --> 01:24:50,860
Well, what is it?
You look so...
1587
01:24:52,830 --> 01:24:54,580
She does not love me.
1588
01:24:54,990 --> 01:24:57,310
- You think not?
- She loves you.
1589
01:24:57,340 --> 01:24:59,630
- No.
- She loves only my soul.
1590
01:24:59,660 --> 01:25:00,370
- No.
- Yes!
1591
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:03,140
That means you.
And you love her.
1592
01:25:03,170 --> 01:25:05,300
- I?
- I see. I know.
1593
01:25:05,340 --> 01:25:08,310
You wrote her,
everyday, every day!
1594
01:25:08,820 --> 01:25:10,030
- Perfectly simple.
- Simple?
1595
01:25:10,060 --> 01:25:11,700
For a month,
we've been blockaded here.
1596
01:25:11,740 --> 01:25:13,340
How did you send
all those letters?
1597
01:25:13,370 --> 01:25:14,500
Before daylight
I managed...
1598
01:25:14,530 --> 01:25:16,070
To face death
everyday.
1599
01:25:16,820 --> 01:25:17,950
You love her.
1600
01:25:19,020 --> 01:25:20,190
Yes.
1601
01:25:26,950 --> 01:25:27,890
Tell her so.
1602
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:29,250
- No.
- Why not?
1603
01:25:29,350 --> 01:25:32,290
Why?
Look at me.
1604
01:25:32,590 --> 01:25:35,420
She would love me
if I were ugly.
1605
01:25:35,990 --> 01:25:38,820
- She said that?
- Yes. Now, go to her.
1606
01:25:40,090 --> 01:25:42,410
Nonsense. Do not
believe any such madness.
1607
01:25:42,440 --> 01:25:44,730
Go back to her.
You never will be ugly.
1608
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:45,810
Go!
It is you she loves.
1609
01:25:45,850 --> 01:25:46,870
That is what
we shall see.
1610
01:25:46,900 --> 01:25:47,840
No, no!
1611
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:49,480
- Let her chose between us.
- No.
1612
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:51,510
- Tell her everything.
- Why do you torture me?
1613
01:25:51,550 --> 01:25:54,700
Shall I ruin your happiness,
because I was born with a pretty face?
1614
01:25:54,740 --> 01:25:57,210
Am I to ruin yours,
because I happen to have power
1615
01:25:57,250 --> 01:25:58,750
to say what you perhaps feel?
1616
01:25:58,780 --> 01:26:00,910
- Tell her!
- Don't drive me too far!
1617
01:26:00,950 --> 01:26:03,210
- I'm tired of being my own rival.
- Hard to know.
1618
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:05,470
My secret marriage, that
can be annulled, I expect.
1619
01:26:05,500 --> 01:26:07,790
I want her love
for the poor fool than I am,
1620
01:26:07,860 --> 01:26:09,020
or not at all.
1621
01:26:09,390 --> 01:26:12,090
Oh, I'm going through with this.
I'll know one way or the other.
1622
01:26:12,870 --> 01:26:15,280
Now, go!....Tell her.
1623
01:26:15,480 --> 01:26:16,790
Let her chose one of us.
1624
01:26:17,570 --> 01:26:18,780
It will be you.
1625
01:26:19,670 --> 01:26:21,330
I hope so.
1626
01:26:33,070 --> 01:26:33,820
- Captain!
1627
01:26:36,570 --> 01:26:38,100
The Spanish fires are going out.
1628
01:26:41,030 --> 01:26:42,160
It begins.
1629
01:26:42,220 --> 01:26:44,140
I need a scout. Where's Cyrano.
1630
01:26:44,490 --> 01:26:45,280
Captain.
1631
01:26:45,850 --> 01:26:46,740
Let me go.
1632
01:26:46,780 --> 01:26:49,490
No, my boy, Cyrano knows
the terrain. He knows their lines.
1633
01:26:49,530 --> 01:26:51,550
So do I.
Please, allow me.
1634
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:56,070
Very well.
We must know from which
1635
01:26:56,110 --> 01:26:58,810
direction the advance comes.
Their weight and numbers.
1636
01:26:58,840 --> 01:26:59,560
I understand.
1637
01:27:11,940 --> 01:27:12,780
Roxane.
1638
01:27:13,430 --> 01:27:14,450
Cyrano.
1639
01:27:14,480 --> 01:27:15,930
Christian thinks...
1640
01:27:17,470 --> 01:27:19,190
Christian thinks you
ought to know that...
1641
01:27:19,220 --> 01:27:20,240
But I do know.
1642
01:27:20,770 --> 01:27:22,850
He still doubts what I
just told him, just now.
1643
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:23,860
I saw that.
1644
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:27,560
Yes, but,...was it true,
what you told him just now?
1645
01:27:27,590 --> 01:27:28,900
It was true.
1646
01:27:28,990 --> 01:27:32,270
I said that I should love him,
even if he were....
1647
01:27:33,020 --> 01:27:34,580
The word comes
hard before me?
1648
01:27:37,420 --> 01:27:38,860
Say it, I shall
not be hurt.
1649
01:27:39,370 --> 01:27:40,620
Ugly?
1650
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:42,130
Even, then
I should love him.
1651
01:27:43,500 --> 01:27:44,690
Disfigured.
1652
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:45,870
Or disfigured.
1653
01:27:46,480 --> 01:27:49,620
Even....grotesque.
1654
01:27:49,650 --> 01:27:51,350
How could he
every be grotesque,
1655
01:27:51,810 --> 01:27:52,950
ever to me?
1656
01:27:52,990 --> 01:27:55,580
But, you could love him so,
as much as?
1657
01:27:55,610 --> 01:27:56,790
Yes, and more.
1658
01:27:57,320 --> 01:27:58,320
Roxane...
1659
01:27:58,350 --> 01:27:59,300
(gunshot)
1660
01:27:59,340 --> 01:28:00,260
What is it?
1661
01:28:01,550 --> 01:28:02,600
Are they fighting?
1662
01:28:05,250 --> 01:28:06,510
What is happening?
1663
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:08,010
- The Spaniards advance,
1664
01:28:08,940 --> 01:28:09,930
but there is time.
1665
01:28:10,480 --> 01:28:12,370
- Where is Christian?
- At the parapet.
1666
01:28:12,820 --> 01:28:13,890
Oh, of course.
1667
01:28:14,930 --> 01:28:16,750
What is it
that you wish to tell me?
1668
01:28:16,780 --> 01:28:18,140
Roxane,...
1669
01:28:18,810 --> 01:28:21,690
believe me this is difficult,
and for once I lack words.
1670
01:28:24,690 --> 01:28:26,330
Christian asked me to...
1671
01:28:26,440 --> 01:28:27,850
He told me...
1672
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:38,220
Christian!
1673
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:42,970
To your places, gentlemen.
1674
01:28:43,970 --> 01:28:45,130
Is he dead?
1675
01:28:45,170 --> 01:28:46,260
No, but dying.
1676
01:28:46,300 --> 01:28:47,660
I will not let him!
1677
01:28:51,870 --> 01:28:54,530
Cyrano...did you?
1678
01:28:54,570 --> 01:28:56,610
Yes, my friend.
I have told her.
1679
01:28:58,350 --> 01:28:59,450
She loves you.
1680
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:02,190
Roxane.
1681
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:03,570
Yes, my darling.
1682
01:29:06,020 --> 01:29:07,320
Christian!
1683
01:29:08,170 --> 01:29:09,370
He is not dead?
1684
01:29:10,930 --> 01:29:11,830
Yes.
1685
01:29:12,310 --> 01:29:13,640
(gasp)
1686
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:22,890
Time you must go, now.
1687
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:25,860
Really, he is dead.
1688
01:29:25,890 --> 01:29:27,740
No one else
knew him but you.
1689
01:29:28,250 --> 01:29:29,630
Was he not a hero?
1690
01:29:29,670 --> 01:29:30,700
Yes, Roxane.
1691
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:33,340
A heart deeper
than we knew.
1692
01:29:33,380 --> 01:29:34,930
Yes, Roxane.
1693
01:29:35,010 --> 01:29:39,310
A poet.
A soul magnificently tender.
1694
01:29:41,750 --> 01:29:43,660
Yes, Roxane.
1695
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:46,740
But he is dead now.
1696
01:29:48,390 --> 01:29:50,030
(collapses sobbing)
1697
01:29:50,070 --> 01:29:51,230
Why, so am I.
1698
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:55,060
For I am dead
and my love mourns for me
1699
01:29:55,100 --> 01:29:56,550
and does not know.
1700
01:29:58,190 --> 01:29:59,530
Will never know.
1701
01:29:59,570 --> 01:30:00,990
(rapid gunfire)
1702
01:30:01,030 --> 01:30:02,410
(bugle calls)
1703
01:30:03,030 --> 01:30:04,030
Take her away quickly.
1704
01:30:05,670 --> 01:30:06,500
Wait.
1705
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:09,220
A letter over his heart.
1706
01:30:11,490 --> 01:30:12,850
(sobbing)
1707
01:30:16,740 --> 01:30:18,460
I have two deaths
to avenge, now,
1708
01:30:19,090 --> 01:30:22,670
Christian's...and my own.
1709
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:42,210
(fighting becomes intense)
1710
01:30:43,330 --> 01:30:46,820
(the Spanish army advances)
1711
01:30:49,450 --> 01:30:50,280
Fire!
1712
01:31:00,270 --> 01:31:02,810
Surrender or you die!
1713
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:51,720
(de Guiche)
Look! The signal!
1714
01:32:59,940 --> 01:33:00,940
Ah!
1715
01:33:07,070 --> 01:33:09,610
We fought. We died.
We fought again.
1716
01:33:09,750 --> 01:33:12,760
Who are these men who are
so fond of death, one Spaniard cried.
1717
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:14,440
On and on, they came.
1718
01:33:14,570 --> 01:33:17,210
Then, when all seemed lost,
we heard the trumpets
1719
01:33:17,250 --> 01:33:19,850
of our returning troops.
The battle was ours!
1720
01:33:20,690 --> 01:33:24,050
Ah, you have been fortunate,
Ms. de Bergerac, you have lived!
1721
01:33:24,090 --> 01:33:28,870
While we, we waste our youth.
There is no war and not hope for any.
1722
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:30,880
No hope for any?
1723
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:34,220
My fellow, I just realize,
we are both fools.
1724
01:33:34,630 --> 01:33:37,550
But mine is the greater folly,
for I am an older fool.
1725
01:33:38,170 --> 01:33:42,320
What is more......
Everything I told you was a lie.
1726
01:33:47,550 --> 01:33:49,680
Another satire
for the Gazette?
1727
01:33:49,710 --> 01:33:50,410
Yes.
1728
01:33:50,820 --> 01:33:53,480
Another glove flung
in the face of power?
1729
01:33:53,650 --> 01:33:55,400
Oh, why do you
do it, Cyrano?
1730
01:33:55,430 --> 01:33:57,860
- Why do you attack...
- Stupidity?
1731
01:33:57,880 --> 01:34:01,180
Deceit? Corruption?
I'm too old to change.
1732
01:34:01,370 --> 01:34:03,980
I'm an old dog
with nothing left but his teeth.
1733
01:34:04,010 --> 01:34:06,580
Ah, but teeth can be pulled.
That can be painful.
1734
01:34:10,440 --> 01:34:14,580
That insolent wretch.
That scoundrel de Bergerac.
1735
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:17,180
This time he's gone too far.
I swear it.
1736
01:34:17,210 --> 01:34:18,790
He's signed his death warrant.
1737
01:34:19,950 --> 01:34:21,730
And who will deliver it?
1738
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:25,040
His sword is still very
powerful, my friend.
1739
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:27,230
There are may ways
a man can die.
1740
01:34:27,990 --> 01:34:29,550
Who knows?
1741
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:31,430
He may meet
with an accident.
1742
01:34:32,550 --> 01:34:33,570
Soon.
1743
01:34:35,100 --> 01:34:38,710
(church chimes)
1744
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:46,060
But, uh, tell me, Madame.
1745
01:34:46,180 --> 01:34:50,830
How long will you continue
to remain here, forever in mourning?
1746
01:34:51,670 --> 01:34:52,570
Forever.
1747
01:34:53,060 --> 01:34:55,080
Was Christian all that?
1748
01:34:55,770 --> 01:34:57,400
If you knew him
you would not ask.
1749
01:34:57,950 --> 01:35:00,150
His last letter
is still in my heart.
1750
01:35:00,820 --> 01:35:04,770
And, uh, Cyrano?
Do you see him often?
1751
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:09,240
Every week. My old friend
takes the place of my Gazette.
1752
01:35:09,620 --> 01:35:11,320
He brings me all the news.
1753
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:14,940
Every Saturday under
that tree out there.
1754
01:35:14,980 --> 01:35:17,070
I wait for him embroidering.
1755
01:35:17,430 --> 01:35:20,240
The hour strikes.
I need not turn to look.
1756
01:35:20,570 --> 01:35:24,070
At the last stroke,
I hear his cane tapping the walk.
1757
01:35:24,100 --> 01:35:26,430
His satires have made
him many enemies.
1758
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:29,740
But, they still fear
that sword of his.
1759
01:35:30,330 --> 01:35:32,130
No one dare touch him.
1760
01:35:32,510 --> 01:35:33,670
Hm, that may be so.
1761
01:35:35,620 --> 01:35:38,160
It is not violence
I fear for him,
1762
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:42,560
but solitude, poverty.
Old gray Decembers
1763
01:35:42,590 --> 01:35:45,350
stealing on wolf's feet
into his darkened room.
1764
01:35:46,010 --> 01:35:48,230
It seems to me he's
worn the same old coat
1765
01:35:48,260 --> 01:35:49,610
for many months, now.
1766
01:35:49,650 --> 01:35:51,740
Eh, that is nothing
strange in this world.
1767
01:35:51,780 --> 01:35:53,820
You need not pity
him overmuch.
1768
01:35:53,860 --> 01:35:56,930
He lives his life,
his own life his own way,
1769
01:35:56,970 --> 01:36:00,300
thought, word and deed free.
1770
01:36:00,450 --> 01:36:01,610
My Lord Duke.
1771
01:36:01,750 --> 01:36:05,860
Oh, yes, I know.
I have all. He has nothing.
1772
01:36:06,370 --> 01:36:12,170
Nevertheless, today,
I should be proud to shake his hand.
1773
01:36:12,350 --> 01:36:14,000
Ah, well, adieu.
1774
01:36:14,670 --> 01:36:16,300
Will I ever see you again?
1775
01:36:16,340 --> 01:36:17,970
Come whenever you like.
1776
01:36:18,010 --> 01:36:19,610
Then, you have forgiven me.
1777
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:21,680
I am here.
1778
01:36:22,950 --> 01:36:25,380
Do you know?
When a man wins
1779
01:36:25,420 --> 01:36:29,750
everything in this world,
when he succeeds too much,
1780
01:36:29,790 --> 01:36:34,190
he feels, somehow,
a thousand small displeasures
1781
01:36:34,230 --> 01:36:38,560
with himself, whose whole sum
is not quite remorse
1782
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:45,570
but rather a sort of vague
disgust, dry illusions, pained regrets.
1783
01:36:45,870 --> 01:36:48,730
Yes, now and then,
I envy your Cyrano.
1784
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:50,860
The sentiment
does you honor.
1785
01:36:50,890 --> 01:36:52,250
(chuckling)
1786
01:36:59,350 --> 01:37:04,280
Madame, I must tell you,
it is true that no one has yet
1787
01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:06,490
dared to attack
your friend Cyrano.
1788
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:11,380
Nevertheless, at the theater
last night, I heard some things.
1789
01:37:12,260 --> 01:37:13,720
Keep him at home all you can.
1790
01:37:14,090 --> 01:37:17,330
Tomorrow when you see him,
tell him to be careful.
1791
01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:19,130
I thank you.
1792
01:37:32,050 --> 01:37:33,140
(Cyrano)
Good night, Ragueneau.
1793
01:37:33,180 --> 01:37:35,120
(Ragueneau)
Cyrano, you not leaving?
1794
01:37:35,150 --> 01:37:37,030
You will not have
dinner here with me?
1795
01:37:37,060 --> 01:37:38,860
(Cyrano)
My regrets. I have a magnificent
1796
01:37:38,900 --> 01:37:42,450
roast waiting for me, a rare wine,
a gift from my publisher.
1797
01:37:42,490 --> 01:37:43,890
(Ragueneau)
Fine, to be sure.
1798
01:37:44,650 --> 01:37:47,490
Uh, have you seen
Moliere's new play?
1799
01:37:47,530 --> 01:37:48,160
No.
1800
01:37:48,340 --> 01:37:49,650
Heh, ah, well....
1801
01:37:49,690 --> 01:37:50,580
What is it?
1802
01:37:50,610 --> 01:37:51,460
Well, he...
1803
01:37:51,500 --> 01:37:52,250
Speak.
1804
01:37:52,290 --> 01:37:55,220
He stole a scene
from you, word for word.
1805
01:37:55,250 --> 01:37:57,140
You know, "What the devil
was he doing there?"
1806
01:37:57,170 --> 01:37:57,730
That one.
1807
01:37:57,770 --> 01:37:59,040
He stole it, bodily.
1808
01:37:59,070 --> 01:38:01,300
Well, he showed
good taste.
1809
01:38:01,340 --> 01:38:03,020
It, uh, played well?
1810
01:38:03,060 --> 01:38:05,450
Oh, beautifully. They
laughed and laughed.
1811
01:38:05,480 --> 01:38:06,810
Oh, how they laughed.
1812
01:38:07,250 --> 01:38:08,560
Moliere has genius.
1813
01:38:09,370 --> 01:38:11,010
Christian had good looks.
1814
01:38:12,170 --> 01:38:13,610
With me, it was
always thus.
1815
01:38:16,050 --> 01:38:17,240
Good night, my friend.
1816
01:38:32,340 --> 01:38:32,950
(man)
Hold, there.
1817
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:33,950
(man)
You!
1818
01:38:35,650 --> 01:38:36,850
(Cyrano)
Are you addressing me?
1819
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:38,990
Yes, you, Monsieur
of the long nose.
1820
01:38:39,100 --> 01:38:40,000
Insolence.
1821
01:38:40,290 --> 01:38:41,990
- Foulmouthed scribbler.
- What?
1822
01:38:42,020 --> 01:38:43,440
- Lair, plagiarist!
- Liar.
1823
01:38:47,910 --> 01:38:49,660
(whistling to wagon)
1824
01:39:08,630 --> 01:39:10,920
(driver whips horses)
1825
01:39:27,570 --> 01:39:28,490
Doctor.
1826
01:39:29,930 --> 01:39:31,260
Why pretend?
1827
01:39:31,550 --> 01:39:32,910
It is very grave.
1828
01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:35,500
Keep him quiet
at all costs.
1829
01:39:35,540 --> 01:39:38,500
If he attempts
to rise, he will die.
1830
01:39:38,540 --> 01:39:39,810
Shhhh.
1831
01:39:43,220 --> 01:39:43,930
Thank you.
1832
01:39:44,980 --> 01:39:47,240
(door closes)
1833
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:55,820
(gate bell rings)
1834
01:39:59,820 --> 01:40:01,490
(gate opens)
1835
01:40:01,530 --> 01:40:03,170
Monsieur.
1836
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:03,860
Ah, Sister.
1837
01:40:09,810 --> 01:40:10,880
(gasp)
1838
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:12,350
What is the matter
with you?
1839
01:40:14,480 --> 01:40:15,900
Shall I tell you
something, Sister?
1840
01:40:16,540 --> 01:40:20,470
Yesterday, Friday, mind you,
I ate meat again.
1841
01:40:21,930 --> 01:40:23,000
Yes, I know.
1842
01:40:23,350 --> 01:40:25,080
That is why you
are so pale.
1843
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:27,930
Please come to me
to the refectory before you go.
1844
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,250
I'll make you a great
bowl of hot soup.
1845
01:40:30,280 --> 01:40:31,630
Of course, of course.
1846
01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:33,950
You're quite reasonable today.
1847
01:40:33,990 --> 01:40:36,120
Perhaps you'll convert me.
1848
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:38,260
Oh, no! Not for the world.
1849
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:40,690
Why, now I think of it,
that is so.
1850
01:40:41,070 --> 01:40:44,560
You, bursting with holiness,
and yet you never preach.
1851
01:40:45,470 --> 01:40:46,760
Astonishing.
1852
01:40:47,060 --> 01:40:49,100
And now I shall astonish you.
1853
01:40:49,690 --> 01:40:54,110
I'm going to let you
pray for me tonight, at Vespers.
1854
01:40:55,830 --> 01:40:58,700
Absolutely struck dumb, eh?
1855
01:41:02,550 --> 01:41:05,180
I did not wait for you
to say I might.
1856
01:41:14,930 --> 01:41:17,450
Now may the devil admire
me if never hope to see
1857
01:41:17,490 --> 01:41:19,570
the end of that embroidery.
1858
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:23,440
After 14 years,
late for the first time.
1859
01:41:23,480 --> 01:41:26,550
Yes.
Yes, maddening.
1860
01:41:27,330 --> 01:41:31,480
I was detained by
a visitor. Most unexpected.
1861
01:41:32,150 --> 01:41:33,660
An old friend of mine.
1862
01:41:34,540 --> 01:41:36,830
At least a very
old acquaintance.
1863
01:41:36,870 --> 01:41:38,320
Did you tell him
to go away?
1864
01:41:38,980 --> 01:41:40,410
For the time being, yes.
1865
01:41:40,440 --> 01:41:45,270
I said excuse me,
I see that it's Saturday,
1866
01:41:45,620 --> 01:41:48,200
I have a previous
engagement.
1867
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:49,620
One I cannot miss.
1868
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:52,340
Even for you.
1869
01:41:53,250 --> 01:41:55,310
Come back an hour from now.
1870
01:41:55,420 --> 01:41:59,170
Your friend will have to wait.
I shall not let you go till dark.
1871
01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:04,970
Perhaps a little before dark,
I must go.
1872
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:09,080
Oh, then tell me now
the court news. My Gazette.
1873
01:42:10,390 --> 01:42:14,190
Ah, yes, well, let me see.
1874
01:42:16,350 --> 01:42:20,840
Saturday, 19th, the King
fell ill after eight helpings of
1875
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:22,170
grape marmalade.
1876
01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:26,320
Grape marmalade will
no longer be served at court.
1877
01:42:28,190 --> 01:42:33,010
Sunday, the royal pulse
is now normal.
1878
01:42:34,630 --> 01:42:37,930
Monday, everyone was
talking about the success
1879
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:39,600
of Moliere's new play.
1880
01:42:40,830 --> 01:42:46,110
Tuesday, the King fell ill
after six helpings of marone glacee.
1881
01:42:47,910 --> 01:42:50,130
Marone glacee will no
longer be served at court.
1882
01:42:51,710 --> 01:42:55,700
Wednesday, the Compte de Firske
spoke to Madame de Monte Glas.
1883
01:42:56,500 --> 01:42:59,380
She said....no.
1884
01:43:01,480 --> 01:43:07,450
Thursday.... Nothing.
1885
01:43:07,490 --> 01:43:10,580
Friday, Madame de Monte Glas
said yes.
1886
01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:18,800
Saturday, 25th....
1887
01:43:19,450 --> 01:43:20,520
Cyrano!
1888
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:24,010
What is it?
Cyrano!
1889
01:43:28,660 --> 01:43:31,300
- Oh, no, no, it is nothing.
- What?
1890
01:43:31,750 --> 01:43:34,200
The old wound at Arras
sometimes...
1891
01:43:34,230 --> 01:43:36,980
- My poor friend.
- No, no, no, it is nothing.
1892
01:43:37,830 --> 01:43:39,350
It will soon be gone.
1893
01:43:41,010 --> 01:43:44,990
(gasp) There. 'Tis gone.
1894
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:48,480
We all have
our old wounds.
1895
01:43:49,020 --> 01:43:53,920
I have mine here,
under this faded scrap of writing.
1896
01:43:55,380 --> 01:43:57,340
It's hard to read now.
1897
01:43:58,370 --> 01:44:01,340
All for the blots
and tears.
1898
01:44:01,370 --> 01:44:02,560
His letter?
1899
01:44:03,480 --> 01:44:06,650
Did you not promise me,
that someday you would let me read it?
1900
01:44:07,090 --> 01:44:12,350
- This letter? You wish...?
- I do wish it....today.
1901
01:44:22,650 --> 01:44:24,230
Open it and read.
1902
01:44:49,700 --> 01:44:54,660
"Farewell, Roxane,
because today I die."
1903
01:44:54,690 --> 01:44:56,000
Aloud?
1904
01:44:57,180 --> 01:45:00,150
"I know that it will be today,
my own dearly beloved.
1905
01:45:01,630 --> 01:45:04,900
"Yet, my heart still so heavy
with love I have not told.
1906
01:45:06,440 --> 01:45:11,330
"And I shall die without telling you.
1907
01:45:11,900 --> 01:45:15,740
"No more shall my eyes
drink the sight of you like wine,
1908
01:45:16,230 --> 01:45:19,180
"never more with a look
that is a kiss,
1909
01:45:19,740 --> 01:45:22,430
"follow the sweet
grace of you."
1910
01:45:22,470 --> 01:45:24,400
How you read it.
His letter.
1911
01:45:24,440 --> 01:45:26,300
"I remember now the way you have
1912
01:45:26,340 --> 01:45:30,280
"of pushing back a lock of hair
with one hand from your forehead,
1913
01:45:30,860 --> 01:45:33,270
- "and my heart cries out..."
- His letter!
1914
01:45:33,310 --> 01:45:35,000
- "cries out and keeps crying."
1915
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:38,240
- You read it so...
- "Farewell, my dear, my dearest,"
1916
01:45:38,270 --> 01:45:40,650
- In a voice...
- "my own heart's own,"
1917
01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:44,230
- "my own treasure,"
- In such a voice!
- "my...love."
1918
01:45:44,260 --> 01:45:47,140
Yes, I remember hearing long ago.
1919
01:45:47,490 --> 01:45:52,210
"I am never away from you.
Even now I shall not leave you.
1920
01:45:53,110 --> 01:45:56,360
"In another world, I shall
still be that one who loves you,
1921
01:45:56,390 --> 01:46:00,110
"loves you beyond measure,
beyond..."
1922
01:46:09,180 --> 01:46:11,130
But, how can you read it now?
1923
01:46:14,420 --> 01:46:17,810
And all those 14 years
he has been the old friend
1924
01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:19,650
who came to me to be amusing.
1925
01:46:20,930 --> 01:46:23,170
- Roxane.
- It was you.
1926
01:46:23,910 --> 01:46:24,880
No, no, Roxane, no.
1927
01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:28,100
And I might have know it every time
that I heard you speak my name.
1928
01:46:28,130 --> 01:46:31,690
- No, it was not I.
- It was you!
- I swear.
1929
01:46:32,460 --> 01:46:34,810
- The letters. That was you.
- No.
1930
01:46:35,140 --> 01:46:38,960
- And the dear foolish words.
That was you.
- No.
1931
01:46:39,190 --> 01:46:43,290
- And the voice in the dark.
That was you.
- On my honor!
1932
01:46:43,330 --> 01:46:47,170
And the soul.
It was all you.
1933
01:46:47,270 --> 01:46:49,180
I never loved you.
1934
01:46:49,350 --> 01:46:50,850
Yes, you loved me.
1935
01:46:50,970 --> 01:46:52,740
Even now you love me.
1936
01:46:53,660 --> 01:46:55,610
(gasp)
No!
1937
01:46:55,650 --> 01:46:57,920
And twice you're great to know.
1938
01:46:57,950 --> 01:47:00,760
Oh, no, no, my own dear love,
I love you not.
1939
01:47:03,340 --> 01:47:05,840
Why were you silent
for so many years?
1940
01:47:06,580 --> 01:47:07,860
All the while.
1941
01:47:08,090 --> 01:47:11,110
Every night, and every day,
he gave me nothing.
1942
01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:13,120
You knew that.
1943
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:16,680
You knew in that letter
lying on my breast.
1944
01:47:17,940 --> 01:47:19,230
Your tears.
1945
01:47:20,580 --> 01:47:22,770
You knew they
were your tears.
1946
01:47:26,390 --> 01:47:28,270
The blood was his.
1947
01:47:29,370 --> 01:47:30,200
Cyrano!
1948
01:47:32,690 --> 01:47:34,320
Here! He's here.
1949
01:47:34,490 --> 01:47:36,270
Oh, what recklessness.
1950
01:47:36,310 --> 01:47:36,570
No.
1951
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:37,430
I knew it!
1952
01:47:37,490 --> 01:47:40,440
- Oh Madame he has killed
himself coming here.
- No. Shh.
1953
01:47:40,700 --> 01:47:42,220
That drink is, what is it?
1954
01:47:42,290 --> 01:47:45,510
Nothing. I did not
finish my Gazette.
1955
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:49,970
Saturday, 26th, an hour
or so before dinner
1956
01:47:50,540 --> 01:47:55,340
Ms. de Bergerac died,
foully murdered.
1957
01:47:55,690 --> 01:47:57,470
Cyrano, what have
they done to you?
1958
01:47:57,600 --> 01:47:59,540
How fate loves a jest.
1959
01:47:59,980 --> 01:48:03,000
Behold me ambushed,
taken unawares.
1960
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:08,830
My noble foe, a lackey.
My battlefield, a gutter.
1961
01:48:09,490 --> 01:48:10,950
It seems too logical.
1962
01:48:11,370 --> 01:48:13,040
They have missed everything,
1963
01:48:13,820 --> 01:48:15,290
even my death.
1964
01:48:16,330 --> 01:48:17,950
Sisters! Sisters!
1965
01:48:17,990 --> 01:48:21,350
No, do not go away.
I may not be here when you return.
1966
01:48:22,030 --> 01:48:23,760
You shall not die.
1967
01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:25,460
(sobbing)
I love you.
1968
01:48:25,490 --> 01:48:27,410
No, my lady,
it's not in the story.
1969
01:48:28,100 --> 01:48:29,900
When beauty said
I love you to the beast
1970
01:48:29,930 --> 01:48:32,990
all his ugliness changed
and dissolved, like magic.
1971
01:48:33,550 --> 01:48:37,370
But, you see,
I am still the same.
1972
01:48:37,440 --> 01:48:39,430
And I have
done this to you.
1973
01:48:39,470 --> 01:48:40,620
You? Why no.
1974
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:42,060
All my fault, mine!
1975
01:48:42,100 --> 01:48:43,320
On the contrary.
1976
01:48:44,060 --> 01:48:47,080
I have never know womanhood
in its sweetness, but for you.
1977
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:50,750
My mother did not
like to look at me.
1978
01:48:52,050 --> 01:48:53,530
I never had a sister.
1979
01:48:54,880 --> 01:49:01,130
Later, I feared those sweethearts
with mockery behind her smile.
1980
01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:06,150
But, because of you,
I have had across my life
1981
01:49:06,930 --> 01:49:10,600
one whispering, silken gown.
1982
01:49:12,780 --> 01:49:15,200
I never loved but
one man in my life.
1983
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:18,680
I have lost him, twice.
1984
01:49:19,660 --> 01:49:23,540
(sobbing)
1985
01:49:23,570 --> 01:49:27,890
I would not have you mourning
any less that good, noble Christian.
1986
01:49:28,980 --> 01:49:32,570
But, perhaps, I ask only this,
1987
01:49:34,100 --> 01:49:36,370
when the great cold
gathers around my bones,
1988
01:49:37,770 --> 01:49:42,590
you may give a double
meaning to your widow's weeds.
1989
01:49:43,910 --> 01:49:50,900
The tears you let fall for him,
may for a little, be my tears.
1990
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:53,040
Oh, my love!
1991
01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:58,400
No, not here.
Not lying down.
1992
01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:01,300
Let no one help me.
No one need help me.
1993
01:50:06,310 --> 01:50:07,430
It is coming.
1994
01:50:08,260 --> 01:50:11,460
I feel already shod with marble.
1995
01:50:12,720 --> 01:50:13,950
Gloved with lead.
1996
01:50:14,730 --> 01:50:16,700
Very well,
let the old fellow come now.
1997
01:50:17,190 --> 01:50:19,600
He shall find me
on my feet.
1998
01:50:21,670 --> 01:50:23,120
Sword in hand.
1999
01:50:23,160 --> 01:50:24,110
Cyrano!
2000
01:50:24,500 --> 01:50:25,890
He'd delirious.
2001
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:28,000
I see him now.
2002
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:28,700
He grins.
2003
01:50:28,740 --> 01:50:30,750
He is looking at my nose!
2004
01:50:30,790 --> 01:50:31,820
That skeleton.
2005
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:33,730
You there.
2006
01:50:33,970 --> 01:50:34,670
Who are you?
2007
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:36,950
A hundred against one, eh?
2008
01:50:37,300 --> 01:50:40,020
I know them now,
my ancient enemies.
2009
01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:40,960
Falsehood, there!
2010
01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:42,470
There, Prejudice!
2011
01:50:42,490 --> 01:50:44,100
Compromise, Cowardice.
2012
01:50:44,580 --> 01:50:47,160
What's that?
Surrender? No, never!
2013
01:50:47,190 --> 01:50:48,430
Never!
2014
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:50,820
Ah, you too, Vanity.
2015
01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:54,180
I knew you would
overthrow me in the end.
2016
01:50:54,210 --> 01:50:57,310
No, I fight, I fight on,
I fight....ow!
2017
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:01,000
(gasping)
2018
01:51:06,540 --> 01:51:08,550
All my laurels
you have riven away.
2019
01:51:10,290 --> 01:51:11,770
And my roses.
2020
01:51:12,940 --> 01:51:15,600
Yet, in spite of you,
there is one crown
2021
01:51:15,630 --> 01:51:16,980
I made away with me.
2022
01:51:17,020 --> 01:51:20,380
And tonight when I
enter before God,
2023
01:51:21,850 --> 01:51:27,140
my salute shall sweep away
the stars from the blue threshold.
2024
01:51:28,310 --> 01:51:33,240
One thing without stain,
unspotted from the world,
2025
01:51:34,240 --> 01:51:40,610
in spite of doom, mine own,
...and that is...
2026
01:51:43,220 --> 01:51:51,220
my...white...plume...

In seventeenth-century Paris, poet and supreme swordsman Cyrano de Bergerac (José Ferrer) stops a play from being shown because he ostensibly cannot stand the bombastic style of the principal actor, Montfleury (Arthur Blake). An annoyed aristocratic fop, the Vicomte de Valvert (Albert Cavens), provokes him into a duel by tritely insulting Cyrano's enormous nose. Cyrano first mocks his lack of wit, improvising numerous inventive ways in which Valvert could have phrased it (much to the amusement of the audience). He then composes a ballade for the occasion on the spot and recites it during the sword fight. With the last line, he stabs his opponent.
Cyrano's friend Le Bret (Morris Carnovsky), Captain of the Gascony Guards, warns him he has made powerful enemies of his victim's friends, but he is unconcerned. When Le Bret presses him to reveal the real reason he hates Montfleury, Cyrano admits that he became jealous when he saw the actor smiling at his beautiful cousin Roxane (Mala Powers). He confesses that he is in love with her, but harbors no hope of it being returned because of his nose. When he receives a request from Roxane to see her in the morning, he is finally emboldened to act.
Then pastry chef and fellow poet Ragueneau (Lloyd Corrigan) approaches him for help. Ragueneau has learned that a nobleman he had mocked with his verses, the Comte De Guiche (Ralph Clanton), has hired a hundred ruffians to teach him a lesson. Cyrano escorts him, kills eight of the horde, and drives off the rest.
The next day, before he can tell Roxane of his feelings, she informs him that she has fallen in love with a handsome guardsman, Christian de Neuvillette (William Prince), though she has not even spoken to him. Cyrano hides his devastation and agrees to help her.
Cyrano befriends the young man, who is in Cyrano's guards' unit, and discovers that he is infatuated with Roxane, but is too inept with words to woo her. To help him, Cyrano composes Christian's love letters to Roxane, which she finds irresistible. Later, Christian decides he wants no more help and tries to speak to Roxane face to face, but fails miserably and she re-enters her house in an angry huff. Cyrano, hiding in the bushes, comes to his rescue, but this time by imitating Christian's voice and speaking to Roxane from under her balcony. He is so eloquent that he (unintentionally) wins a kiss for Christian from Roxane.
When the arrogant Comte De Guiche, who is also wooing Roxane, pressures her to marry him, Cyrano delays him long enough for her to wed Christian instead. Furious, De Guiche, Christian's commander, orders him to join his unit immediately for a war against the Spanish, preventing the couple from spending their wedding night together.
With Cyrano under his command as well, De Guiche earns the swordsman's respect by his conduct in the war. From the field, Cyrano sends Roxane letters every day, supposedly written by Christian. Roxane visits her husband in camp and tells him that she now has fallen in love with him not merely for his looks but because of his words, and would love him even if he were ugly. Realizing that she really loves Cyrano, Christian gets his rival to agree to tell Roxane the truth and let her decide between them. But before the opportunity arises, Christian volunteers for a dangerous mission and is fatally wounded, silencing Cyrano.
Roxane enters a convent in mourning. Years pass, with Cyrano visiting Roxane weekly, having retired from the military and writing satirical articles mocking the nobility. De Guiche, who has also befriended her and has come to respect Cyrano, has overheard a courtier plotting against Cyrano. De Guiche warns Roxane that Cyrano's life may be in danger. One night, Cyrano is lured into an ambush; the poet is run down by a carriage. Near death, he hides his injuries and goes to keep his appointment with Roxane for the last time. His secret love for Roxane is finally revealed when he recites from memory the last of his love letters, which she has kept, but it is too late. Cyrano first slips into delirium, then dies, leaving Roxane to mourn a second time.

<i>Thrice happy he who hides

<i>where balmy zephyrs

6
00:02:37,660 --> 00:02:41,460
- Clown! The king of clowns!
Leave the stage at once!
7
00:02:43,970 --> 00:02:44,620
- Who is it?
8
00:02:44,650 --> 00:02:47,570
It's Cyrano.
I was afraid he'd do this.
9
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,250
<i>Thrice happy he
who hides from pomp and power...</i>
10
00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:54,910
- Wretch! Did I not forbid
you to appear this month?
11
00:02:57,940 --> 00:02:59,260
- Let's be quiet.
- Quiet!
12
00:03:00,190 --> 00:03:01,380
- Go on Montfleury.
13
00:03:04,270 --> 00:03:06,400
<i>Thrice happy he who...</i>
14
00:03:06,430 --> 00:03:07,630
- He who, indeed.
15
00:03:07,660 --> 00:03:10,730
- Donkeys say rather Hee-Haw!
16
00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:17,790
Begone! Or must I come and
help you off the stage myself?
17
00:03:21,130 --> 00:03:24,000
What! Still there?
18
00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:28,220
<i>Where balmy zephyrs
fan his burning cheeks... </i>
19
00:03:28,250 --> 00:03:32,050
Fat swine, if you dare breathe
on balmy zephyr more
20
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,640
I'll fan your cheeks
for you!
21
00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:36,480
Monsieur, won't you all
protect me?
22
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,090
- Proceed, proceed.
- Go on.
23
00:03:38,130 --> 00:03:40,880
Sir, I will not allow you
to insult me in this manner.
24
00:03:40,910 --> 00:03:43,520
Really?
What manner would you prefer?
25
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:44,850
Quiet, down there!
26
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,940
- We'll tolerate
no more of this.
27
00:03:47,870 --> 00:03:49,720
Go on with the play,
Montfleury.
28
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:52,380
(shouting criticisms)
29
00:03:52,410 --> 00:03:54,480
Unless these gentlemen
retain your seats
30
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,790
my sword may
bite their ribbons.
31
00:03:56,830 --> 00:03:58,650
Who is this braggart?
32
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,070
My cousin, sir.
33
00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:04,710
Well, Montfleury,
still no exit?
34
00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:06,930
- Very well then,
I enter
35
00:04:06,970 --> 00:04:11,740
with knife, to carve
this fat, stuffed goose.
36
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:14,800
(ominous music begins)
37
00:04:14,830 --> 00:04:18,080
(crowd clamors)
38
00:04:20,030 --> 00:04:22,170
I pray, do not crowd
my scabbard here.
39
00:04:22,210 --> 00:04:24,320
She may put her
tongue out at you.
40
00:04:24,350 --> 00:04:27,140
(shouted recriminations)
41
00:04:29,870 --> 00:04:30,990
Silence.
42
00:04:31,910 --> 00:04:33,830
I say be silent!
43
00:04:35,450 --> 00:04:38,260
And I offer one universal
challenge to you all:
44
00:04:38,460 --> 00:04:41,410
Will all who wish to die,
please raise their hands.
45
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,360
Approach, young heroes.
I will take your names.
46
00:04:45,140 --> 00:04:47,830
To the first man who falls
I'll build a monument.
47
00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:49,710
Who will head the list?
48
00:04:50,010 --> 00:04:50,780
You, sir?
49
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,000
No.
50
00:04:52,830 --> 00:04:53,610
You?
51
00:04:54,470 --> 00:04:55,170
No, no.
52
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,770
Anyone?
53
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,600
Anyone at all?
54
00:05:01,110 --> 00:05:03,550
Not one...name?
55
00:05:04,260 --> 00:05:06,420
Not one finger?
56
00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:10,260
Very well then,
I go on.
57
00:05:16,130 --> 00:05:18,810
Attend to me, Full Moon.
58
00:05:21,340 --> 00:05:24,190
I clap my hands three times, thus.
59
00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:26,740
(three claps)
60
00:05:26,770 --> 00:05:30,320
At the third, you will...
eclipse yourself.
61
00:05:30,490 --> 00:05:31,390
Ready!
62
00:05:32,110 --> 00:05:32,910
One.
63
00:05:34,010 --> 00:05:34,900
(clap)
64
00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:36,070
How dare you.
65
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:37,210
I demand!
66
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,070
I insist.
67
00:05:38,110 --> 00:05:40,150
- I call upon all the nobles...
- Two!
68
00:05:41,010 --> 00:05:42,080
(clap)
69
00:05:42,110 --> 00:05:43,090
This is an outrage.
70
00:05:43,130 --> 00:05:44,040
You hear, an outrage.
71
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:46,620
Nothing on earth
will move me from this stage.
72
00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:48,800
Three!
73
00:05:49,570 --> 00:05:49,910
(clap)
74
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:55,410
(laughter)
75
00:05:56,260 --> 00:05:59,210
Fair ladies and noble gentlemen...
- Boo!
76
00:05:59,250 --> 00:06:02,560
(laughter)
77
00:06:02,950 --> 00:06:04,210
But, Monsieur de Bergerac,
78
00:06:04,250 --> 00:06:07,490
why have you done this
to our Montfleury, an admirable actor?
79
00:06:07,530 --> 00:06:10,090
I have two reasons,
either one conclusive.
80
00:06:10,670 --> 00:06:12,800
First, he is an
abominable actor,
81
00:06:12,830 --> 00:06:15,870
who mouths his verse
and moans his tragedy.
82
00:06:16,350 --> 00:06:17,630
Second,....
83
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:20,970
Well, that's my secret.
84
00:06:22,530 --> 00:06:25,280
But...
But you've closed the play!
85
00:06:25,310 --> 00:06:26,880
It is not a very good play.
86
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:28,970
Huh!
And of their money?
87
00:06:29,010 --> 00:06:31,080
Possibly you would like
that returned to these good people.
88
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:31,960
Yes?
89
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,360
Yes.
90
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:35,830
Here,...catch!
91
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:37,920
(crowd murmurs)
92
00:06:38,410 --> 00:06:41,960
Well, Monsieur, you are hereby
authorized to close our play every night.
93
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,200
On these terms.
94
00:06:43,230 --> 00:06:43,740
(laughter)
95
00:06:43,780 --> 00:06:46,400
Ladies and gentlemen,
your money will be returned.
96
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,250
Kindly pass out, quietly.
97
00:06:48,290 --> 00:06:50,030
Goodnight, goodnight.
98
00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:53,220
(crowd accepts
in good spirits)
99
00:06:55,740 --> 00:06:57,120
(until...)
100
00:06:59,530 --> 00:07:02,610
Your cousin is an
extraordinary man, Madame.
101
00:07:02,650 --> 00:07:04,080
Oh, I agree.
102
00:07:04,410 --> 00:07:08,550
Soldier, poet, philosopher,
musician, playwright.
103
00:07:08,580 --> 00:07:09,570
All those?
104
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,360
Yes, and the best
swordsman in Paris.
105
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,310
Really?
106
00:07:14,340 --> 00:07:17,060
Now, I should have thought
the Vicomte here had that honor.
107
00:07:17,310 --> 00:07:21,360
Tell me, Madame, that
comic mask, that nose,
108
00:07:21,390 --> 00:07:23,300
presently he will take it off?
109
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:25,950
No, Monsieur, he keeps it.
110
00:07:26,450 --> 00:07:29,350
And heaven help
the man who smiles.
111
00:07:29,850 --> 00:07:31,060
Good night.
112
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,880
Oh, Monsieur!
113
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,980
Monsieur!
114
00:07:40,020 --> 00:07:42,710
Uh, when do you leave Paris?
115
00:07:43,210 --> 00:07:44,100
Sir?
116
00:07:44,250 --> 00:07:46,280
Why, after what you've
just done to Montfleury,
117
00:07:46,310 --> 00:07:48,750
did you not know that
the Compte de Guiche was his patron?
118
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:50,190
Who's yours?
119
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:52,140
No one.
120
00:07:52,170 --> 00:07:52,940
No one?
121
00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:53,870
No patron?
122
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:54,630
I said not.
123
00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:56,900
But the Compte de Guiche
has a long arm.
124
00:07:56,930 --> 00:07:58,900
Mine is longer
by three feet of steel.
125
00:07:59,530 --> 00:08:00,180
Yes, but..
126
00:08:00,860 --> 00:08:02,160
but, what a scare...
127
00:08:02,190 --> 00:08:02,990
You may go now.
128
00:08:03,020 --> 00:08:04,510
- but...
- You may go.
129
00:08:05,810 --> 00:08:08,620
Well, tell me,
why are you staring at my nose?
130
00:08:08,650 --> 00:08:10,160
Oh, I was not staring.
131
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:11,630
Does it astonish you?
132
00:08:11,660 --> 00:08:13,920
Why n...Why no, I've been careful
not to look.
133
00:08:13,950 --> 00:08:15,510
Oh, and why not, if you please?
134
00:08:15,550 --> 00:08:16,730
It disgusts you, then?
135
00:08:16,770 --> 00:08:17,880
But, no, I just...
136
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,700
Does its color appear
to you unwholesome?
137
00:08:19,730 --> 00:08:20,480
By no means.
138
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,310
Then, possibly you find it
just a trifle large?
139
00:08:22,340 --> 00:08:24,500
No, small, very small, tiny!
140
00:08:24,530 --> 00:08:25,640
Infinitesimal!
141
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,960
What?
You accuse me of absurdity?
142
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,730
Small, my nose?
Why magnificent, my nose!
143
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,900
You pug, you knob,
you button head,
144
00:08:34,930 --> 00:08:37,170
know that I glory
in this nose of mine!
145
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,400
For a great nose
indicates a great man,
146
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:45,440
congenial, courteous,
intellectual, virile, courageous.
147
00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:48,050
Whilst that face of yours,
148
00:08:48,370 --> 00:08:54,070
that blank, inglorious concavity
which my right hand finds on top of you,
149
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:59,630
is as devoid of pride, of poetry,
of soul, of picturesqueness,
150
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:04,810
of contour, of character,
of nose, in short,
151
00:09:04,850 --> 00:09:09,740
as that which is at the bottom of
that limp spine of yours my left foot...
- Oh, help!
152
00:09:09,780 --> 00:09:11,550
(laughter)
153
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:13,840
Presently, this fellow
will grow tiresome.
154
00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:16,590
Oh, he blows his horn.
155
00:09:17,330 --> 00:09:19,800
- Well, will no one
put him in his place?
156
00:09:20,270 --> 00:09:22,660
If you would all me.
Observe.
157
00:09:25,090 --> 00:09:31,260
Monsieur, your nose,
your nose is rather large.
158
00:09:34,450 --> 00:09:35,400
Rather?
159
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,350
Oh, well.
160
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:37,620
Is that all?
161
00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:38,540
Well, of course, you...
162
00:09:38,570 --> 00:09:40,400
Ah, no young sir, you're too simple.
163
00:09:40,430 --> 00:09:42,620
Why, you might have
said a great many things.
164
00:09:42,650 --> 00:09:44,800
Why waste your opportunity?
165
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:45,860
For example, thus...
166
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:47,450
Aggressive---
167
00:09:47,490 --> 00:09:51,040
I, sir, if that great nose were mine,
I would have it amputated on the spot.
168
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:52,710
Practical---
169
00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:56,570
How do you drink with such a nose.
You must have had a cup made especially.
170
00:09:56,850 --> 00:09:57,880
Descriptive---
171
00:09:57,910 --> 00:10:00,570
'Tis a rock, a crag, a cape.
172
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,510
A cape, say rather, a peninsula.
173
00:10:05,890 --> 00:10:06,990
Inquisitive---
174
00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:11,400
Uh, what is that receptacle,
a razor case or a portfolio?
175
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,680
Kindly---
176
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,840
Ah, do you love the little birds so much
that when they come and sing to you,
177
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,690
you give them this to perch on?
178
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,570
Cautious---
179
00:10:20,610 --> 00:10:24,120
Take care. A weight like that
might make you top-heavy.
180
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,250
Eloquent---
181
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,510
When it blows the typhoon howls
and the clouds darken.
182
00:10:29,580 --> 00:10:30,400
Dramatic---
183
00:10:30,430 --> 00:10:34,690
When it bleeds...the Red Sea.
184
00:10:35,540 --> 00:10:36,530
Simple---
185
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:39,640
Eh, when do they
unveil the monument?
186
00:10:40,020 --> 00:10:40,900
Military---
187
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:43,510
Beware, a secret weapon!
188
00:10:44,290 --> 00:10:45,620
Enterprising---
189
00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:48,080
What a sigh for some perfumer!
190
00:10:48,490 --> 00:10:49,300
Respectful---
191
00:10:49,330 --> 00:10:52,050
Uh sir, I recognize in you
a man of parts,
192
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,740
a man of...prominence.
193
00:10:54,770 --> 00:10:56,500
Or, Literary---
194
00:10:56,530 --> 00:10:59,360
Was this the nose
that launched a thousand ships?
195
00:11:00,010 --> 00:11:02,850
These, my dear sir, are things
you might have said had you
196
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,690
some tinge of letters or of wit
to color your discourse.
197
00:11:05,810 --> 00:11:07,970
Bit wit not so.
You never had an atom.
198
00:11:08,270 --> 00:11:14,480
And of letters, you need
but three to write you down, a..s..s.
199
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:16,530
Ass.
200
00:11:16,570 --> 00:11:18,040
- (laughter)
- You, sir!
201
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,600
Dolt! Bumpkin! Fool!
202
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:26,620
How do you do, and I,
Cyrano Savinien Hercule de Bergerac.
203
00:11:26,650 --> 00:11:28,050
Vicomte, come.
204
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,650
Such arrogance.
This scarecrow who...
205
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:31,850
Look at him!
206
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,120
No ribbons. No lace.
Not even gloves!
207
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,700
True. I carry my adornments
only on my soul.
208
00:11:39,740 --> 00:11:41,860
Decked with deeds
instead of ribbons.
209
00:11:41,890 --> 00:11:43,420
Mantled in my good name,
210
00:11:43,460 --> 00:11:45,350
and crowned with a
white plume of freedom.
211
00:11:45,380 --> 00:11:46,130
But..
212
00:11:46,170 --> 00:11:47,510
But, I have no gloves.
213
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:48,630
A pity, too.
214
00:11:48,670 --> 00:11:51,630
I had one, the last one of an old pair,
and lost that.
215
00:11:51,660 --> 00:11:53,250
Very careless of me.
216
00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:55,750
Some gentleman offered me
an impertinence.
217
00:11:55,790 --> 00:11:59,840
I left it in his face.
218
00:11:59,870 --> 00:12:00,840
So be it!
219
00:12:02,110 --> 00:12:05,050
You shall die exquisitely
220
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,160
Oh, a poet.
221
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,640
Oh, yes, a poet if you will.
222
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:11,510
So, uh, while we fight,
I'll improvise a ballad for you,
223
00:12:11,540 --> 00:12:15,270
and as I end the refrain,
...skhrch!...thrust home.
224
00:12:15,310 --> 00:12:16,280
Will you?
225
00:12:17,180 --> 00:12:18,130
I will.
226
00:12:21,820 --> 00:12:23,420
(excited crowd)
227
00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:26,890
Ballad au Duel
at the Theatre de Burgoyne
228
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,320
between de Bergerac,
and uh.....a barbarian.
229
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,240
What do you mean by that?
230
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,000
Oh, that?
231
00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:34,960
The title.
232
00:12:34,990 --> 00:12:36,570
(laughter)
233
00:12:36,610 --> 00:12:38,200
Stop. Let me choose my rhyme.
234
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:47,640
So. Here we go.
235
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:50,070
Lightly I toss my hat away.
236
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:55,440
Languidly o'er my arm let fall
the cloak that covers my bright array.
237
00:12:55,510 --> 00:13:00,770
Then, out swords,
and to work withal.
238
00:13:02,660 --> 00:13:05,720
A Lancelot in his lady's hall,
239
00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:10,580
A Spartacus at the Hippodrome,
240
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,340
I dally a while with you..
241
00:13:13,380 --> 00:13:14,750
you jackall.
242
00:13:32,810 --> 00:13:34,360
Just as I end the refrain,
243
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,380
thrust home!
244
00:13:51,290 --> 00:13:54,220
Where shall I skewer my peacock again?
245
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,160
Nay, better for you
to have shunned this brawl.
246
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,010
Here in the heart
or your ribbons, gay,
247
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,610
in the belly
'neath you silken shawl?
248
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,130
Now, come my points floats,
light as the foam
249
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,640
ready to drive you
back to the wall,
250
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:20,030
and then as I end the refrain,
251
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,440
thrust home.
252
00:14:21,930 --> 00:14:23,210
Oh, for a rhyme.
253
00:14:23,580 --> 00:14:25,060
Why, your fight is fading.
254
00:14:25,420 --> 00:14:26,040
You break.
255
00:14:26,350 --> 00:14:26,970
You cower.
256
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:27,600
You cringe.
257
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:28,200
You crawl.
258
00:14:29,310 --> 00:14:30,740
How can I tell
you're allowed to say
259
00:14:30,780 --> 00:14:31,750
something to turn on my head
260
00:14:31,790 --> 00:14:32,720
forestall.....
261
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:33,660
Life with a tunny
262
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:34,970
death with a scall.
263
00:14:35,010 --> 00:14:36,760
Something to turn on my fancy roam,
264
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,670
free for a time till the rhyme's recall,
265
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,620
then as I end the refrain,
266
00:14:40,650 --> 00:14:41,620
thrust home!
267
00:14:43,810 --> 00:14:44,670
Refrain.
268
00:14:45,550 --> 00:14:48,960
Prince,
pray God that is Lord of all,
269
00:14:48,990 --> 00:14:50,840
pardon you soul,
270
00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:54,190
for your time has come.
271
00:14:56,860 --> 00:14:58,820
Pass! I fling you aslant, asprawl.
272
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:00,590
Then as I end the refrain,
273
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,680
thrust home!
274
00:15:41,820 --> 00:15:45,390
(shouts of hurray
and congratulation)
275
00:15:47,130 --> 00:15:49,470
Ladies and gentlemen,
please, please,
276
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:50,790
not until the performance is over.
277
00:15:51,070 --> 00:15:51,980
Close the house.
278
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:52,820
A strike,
279
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,340
but leave the lights.
280
00:15:54,380 --> 00:15:56,070
We rehearse the new
farce tonight.
281
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,240
Wait.
282
00:16:04,110 --> 00:16:05,570
You have only to watch a fight,
283
00:16:05,610 --> 00:16:07,530
or have you ruined
if you listen to them.
284
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:11,570
Think of the enemies you've made,
285
00:16:11,610 --> 00:16:14,050
Montfleury, the Vicomte,
if he lives,
286
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,380
all those foppish marquis,
the Comte de Guiche.
287
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:18,970
That politician.
288
00:16:19,010 --> 00:16:21,910
He's the Cardinal's nephew.
There's power there!
289
00:16:21,950 --> 00:16:23,330
And power here.
290
00:16:23,370 --> 00:16:24,680
Young fool!
291
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,540
Take an example from me.
292
00:16:26,570 --> 00:16:29,810
20 years a captain,
while others who know only
293
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,750
how to deploy their
forces at court
294
00:16:31,780 --> 00:16:33,890
now dangle a marshal's baton.
295
00:16:33,930 --> 00:16:37,360
Well, uh, someday
I will avenge you, too.
296
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,530
Impossible.
Come on, let's go to dinner.
297
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,830
Dinner?
No, not I.
298
00:16:41,860 --> 00:16:42,540
Why not?
299
00:16:42,580 --> 00:16:44,530
Because I have no money.
300
00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:46,150
But, the purse of gold.
301
00:16:46,180 --> 00:16:48,140
Farewell paternal pension.
302
00:16:48,180 --> 00:16:51,430
And you have
until the first of next month?
303
00:16:51,470 --> 00:16:52,310
Nothing.
304
00:16:53,140 --> 00:16:54,460
What a fool.
305
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:56,770
Yes, but, what a moment.
306
00:16:56,810 --> 00:16:57,670
- Pardon, Monsieur.
307
00:17:00,010 --> 00:17:01,770
A man ought
never to go hungry.
308
00:17:02,690 --> 00:17:04,150
I have everything here.
309
00:17:05,490 --> 00:17:06,360
Please.
310
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,080
My dear child, I cannot bend this Gascon
pride of mine to accept such a kindness.
311
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:11,820
But, I...
312
00:17:12,910 --> 00:17:15,810
Yet, for fear that
I may give you pain if I refuse,
313
00:17:16,550 --> 00:17:18,190
I will take something.
314
00:17:19,630 --> 00:17:20,660
A grape.
315
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:25,160
One only.
316
00:17:25,820 --> 00:17:27,170
And a glass of water.
317
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,650
No, clear.
318
00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:35,750
And, uh,...half a macaroon.
319
00:17:37,010 --> 00:17:38,100
Nothing more?
320
00:17:39,060 --> 00:17:39,920
Why, yes.
321
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,230
Your hand to kiss.
322
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,510
Thank you, sir.
323
00:18:02,090 --> 00:18:03,100
Good night.
324
00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:10,290
Idiot.
325
00:18:13,170 --> 00:18:13,890
Dinner.
326
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,160
Drink.
327
00:18:18,830 --> 00:18:19,720
Desert.
328
00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:24,670
Mon Dieux, I was hungry,
abominably.
329
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:26,320
Tell me.
330
00:18:26,590 --> 00:18:27,440
Anything.
331
00:18:27,790 --> 00:18:29,920
Why to you hate
this Montfleury?
332
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:32,860
A very bad actor.
333
00:18:32,890 --> 00:18:34,860
Ah, come now, the real
reason, the truth.
334
00:18:36,610 --> 00:18:39,600
That fat goat who cannot hold
his belly in his arms,
335
00:18:39,630 --> 00:18:42,590
still dreams of being
sweetly dangerous among the women.
336
00:18:43,230 --> 00:18:47,610
Sighs and languishes, making sheep's
eyes out of his great frog's face.
337
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:52,750
I hate him ever since one day
he dared smile upon....
338
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,220
Oh, my friend, I seemed to see over
some flower a great snail crawling.
339
00:19:00,090 --> 00:19:01,180
Eh, what?
340
00:19:02,170 --> 00:19:03,340
Is it possible?
341
00:19:04,890 --> 00:19:06,180
For me to love?
342
00:19:08,770 --> 00:19:09,660
I love.
343
00:19:10,370 --> 00:19:12,570
Whom?
May I know?
344
00:19:12,610 --> 00:19:13,620
Whom I love?
345
00:19:15,070 --> 00:19:16,000
Think a moment.
346
00:19:16,210 --> 00:19:17,280
Think of me.
347
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,670
Me, whom the plainest
woman would despise.
348
00:19:21,030 --> 00:19:25,010
Me, with this nose of mine that
marches on before me by a quarter of an hour.
349
00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:28,000
Whom shall I love.
350
00:19:29,890 --> 00:19:34,930
Why, of course, it must be the
woman in the world most beautiful.
351
00:19:35,780 --> 00:19:37,170
Most beautiful?
352
00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:42,920
In these eyes of mine....
beyond compare.
353
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:44,070
Wait.
354
00:19:44,510 --> 00:19:46,440
Your cousin, Roxane.
355
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,300
Yes.
356
00:19:50,170 --> 00:19:51,080
Roxane.
357
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,810
Well?
358
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,020
Why not?
If you love her, tell her so.
359
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,170
My old friend.
360
00:20:01,150 --> 00:20:03,550
Look at me and tell me how
much hope remains for me
361
00:20:03,580 --> 00:20:04,970
with this protuberance.
362
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,360
Ahhh, I have no more illusions.
363
00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:12,140
Now and then I may grow tender
walking alone in the blue of evening
364
00:20:12,170 --> 00:20:16,130
through some garden fresh with flowers
after the benediction of the rain.
365
00:20:16,980 --> 00:20:20,930
My poor big devil of a nose
inhales April.
366
00:20:21,460 --> 00:20:26,950
And I follow with my eyes where
some boy with a girl upon his arm,
367
00:20:27,510 --> 00:20:32,130
passes a patch of silver...
and I feel somehow....
368
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,490
I wish I had a woman, too,
369
00:20:36,670 --> 00:20:41,660
walking with me under the moon,
and holding my arm and smiling.
370
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:44,240
Then I dream.
371
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:46,140
I forget.
372
00:20:49,510 --> 00:20:53,210
And then I see the shadow
of my profile on the wall.
373
00:20:54,750 --> 00:20:56,050
My friend.
374
00:20:57,180 --> 00:20:58,230
My friend.
375
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,370
I have my bitter days,
knowing myself so ugly, so alone.
376
00:21:03,410 --> 00:21:05,260
Ah, but your wit, your courage,
377
00:21:05,540 --> 00:21:08,170
why that poor child who just
now offered you your dinner,
378
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,710
your saw it, her eyes
did not avoid you.
379
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,920
That is true.
380
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,930
Well, then, Roxane herself,
watching your duel, pale.
381
00:21:18,970 --> 00:21:19,480
Pale?
382
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,670
Yes, her lips parted.
Her hand at her breast, thus.
383
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,020
I saw it.
384
00:21:24,260 --> 00:21:27,260
Speak to her. Speak, man.
385
00:21:35,890 --> 00:21:37,550
She might laugh at me.
386
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:42,480
It is the one thing
in this world I fear.
387
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,490
Pardon, Monsieur,
a lady outside asking for you.
388
00:21:48,410 --> 00:21:49,750
Monsieur.
389
00:21:50,340 --> 00:21:51,270
A Duenna.
390
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,530
I have a message for you
from a...a certain lady.
391
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,760
She desires to know when
and where she may see you privately.
392
00:21:57,810 --> 00:22:00,070
She has certain
things to tell you.
393
00:22:00,690 --> 00:22:01,850
Certain...
394
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,010
Things!
395
00:22:04,230 --> 00:22:05,720
She wishes to see me?
396
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,410
We go tomorrow at dawn
to hear mass at St. Rupe
397
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,070
And afterwards, where
would you suggest?
398
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:12,630
Well, then, I...
399
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:15,300
- Where?
- Well?
400
00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:17,070
Ah....I am thinking.
401
00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:18,080
And you think?
402
00:22:19,770 --> 00:22:20,590
Where?
403
00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:22,060
The shop at Ragueneau's.
404
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:24,580
Yes, yes, Ragueneau,
the pastry cook.
405
00:22:24,620 --> 00:22:25,400
Who dwells?
406
00:22:26,650 --> 00:22:27,590
Rue Saint Honore.
407
00:22:27,630 --> 00:22:28,690
Eh...Rue Saint Honore.
408
00:22:28,730 --> 00:22:33,530
We are agreed. At 7 o'clock.
Until then. Adieu.
409
00:22:38,790 --> 00:22:39,940
I'll be there.
410
00:22:41,620 --> 00:22:44,110
Me! To see me!
411
00:22:44,260 --> 00:22:45,830
Ah, not quite so gloomy.
412
00:22:45,870 --> 00:22:47,580
After all, she knows
that I exist.
413
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,060
Imagine, she has
asked to see me!
414
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:52,240
So, now you're
going to be happy?
415
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,350
Happy.
I'm going to be a storm.
A flame!
416
00:22:55,390 --> 00:22:58,430
I need to fight whole
armies all alone!
417
00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,840
I have ten hearts!
418
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,280
I have a hundred arms!.
419
00:23:01,310 --> 00:23:04,450
I feel too strong
to war with mortals!
420
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,150
BRING ME GIANTS!
421
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:11,240
Quiet, please, shhh.
We are rehearsing back here.
422
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,600
So sorry.
Ha, ha, ha.
423
00:23:21,490 --> 00:23:22,280
Cyrano.
424
00:23:22,830 --> 00:23:23,630
Cyrano.
425
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,590
Ragueneau.
426
00:23:26,150 --> 00:23:27,910
Oh, thank goodness
you're still here.
427
00:23:27,950 --> 00:23:29,180
Well, what's the matter.
428
00:23:29,210 --> 00:23:30,410
I'm afraid to go home.
429
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,040
Why?
430
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,050
You know those
comic verses I wrote?
431
00:23:33,090 --> 00:23:34,830
About the congregation.
432
00:23:34,860 --> 00:23:37,260
Cyrano, he's hired ruffians.
Bullies.
433
00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:39,740
A hundred, waiting for
me on the way home.
434
00:23:39,780 --> 00:23:41,620
They're gonna beat me.
Cane me!
435
00:23:41,650 --> 00:23:44,450
Please, would you permit me
to spend the night with you?
436
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,420
A hundred men,
is that all?
437
00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:49,610
Ragueneau, you're
going home tonight.
438
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,630
But they're armed.
They're cutthroats!
439
00:23:51,690 --> 00:23:53,620
Take this lantern.
Forward march.
440
00:23:53,660 --> 00:23:55,760
I say that I'll be the man
to see you to your shop.
441
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,150
Not you, I want no help from you.
442
00:23:57,190 --> 00:23:58,510
For even for a hundred,
you're mad.
443
00:23:58,550 --> 00:23:59,730
Those are the odds I want.
444
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,420
Why for this pastry cook?
445
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,820
First, because this
pastry cook is a friend of mine.
446
00:24:04,930 --> 00:24:07,820
Second, because this
pastry cook is also a poet.
447
00:24:07,950 --> 00:24:09,360
And, most important,
448
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:12,000
if anything should
happen to this pastry cook,
449
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:16,870
tomorrow morning at seven
his shop will be closed.
450
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:19,590
Goodnight.
451
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,060
(a whistle signal)
452
00:25:37,430 --> 00:25:38,480
Cyrano. Help!
453
00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:43,580
Look out behind you!
454
00:26:22,750 --> 00:26:23,810
I have been robbed.
455
00:26:24,370 --> 00:26:26,070
- There are no hundred here.
456
00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:32,360
It's, it's, it's...
457
00:26:33,820 --> 00:26:35,230
Be quick. Inside.
458
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,550
Bolt the door!
459
00:26:48,510 --> 00:26:49,310
Ah!
460
00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:08,660
Yah!
461
00:27:10,460 --> 00:27:12,210
(ruffians shouting)
462
00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:01,010
Ah!
463
00:28:03,860 --> 00:28:04,560
Awk.
464
00:28:05,860 --> 00:28:08,030
(ruffians shouting)
465
00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:17,280
(Le Bret)
- Cyrano!
466
00:28:17,310 --> 00:28:18,320
- Hold!
467
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:34,330
Ah.
468
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,420
How do you feel?
469
00:28:37,460 --> 00:28:39,540
Oh, pleasantly exhilarated.
470
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:42,990
- Come, I know a little tavern not far...
- Where's Ragueneau?
471
00:28:43,310 --> 00:28:46,320
Ragueneau?
Ragueneau!
472
00:28:46,730 --> 00:28:49,510
Little boy, come out.
All's well!
473
00:28:50,330 --> 00:28:51,990
- Is it over?
- All over.
474
00:28:52,220 --> 00:28:53,020
Really?
475
00:28:54,500 --> 00:28:55,340
So soon?
476
00:28:55,370 --> 00:28:56,140
Ha, ha, ha.
477
00:28:56,170 --> 00:28:59,480
Oh, if only I'd had my sword.
How many did we kill?
478
00:28:59,510 --> 00:29:00,330
Oh, about eight.
479
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:00,960
Eight.
480
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,410
Eight!
481
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,420
Ohhhh.
482
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,910
This.....gentleman
begins to annoy me.
483
00:29:31,980 --> 00:29:33,630
(Ragueneau is a poet, too.)
484
00:29:35,060 --> 00:29:40,010
No. The sauce and meat must rhyme.
Add a pinch of marigold and thyme.
485
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,960
Your house, of course, needs a stronger roof.
Eh? There's proof.
486
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:45,830
Cyrano.
487
00:29:46,830 --> 00:29:47,500
Cyrano.
488
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,100
Come in and eat.
489
00:29:49,130 --> 00:29:51,110
- What time is it?
- Not quite seven.
490
00:29:51,130 --> 00:29:54,140
Oh, now, please, Cyrano.
A man without breakfast is like...
491
00:29:54,180 --> 00:29:56,720
No.
Could she have changed her mind?
492
00:29:56,750 --> 00:29:57,920
Aw, she wouldn't dare.
493
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,900
We were magnificent last night.
494
00:30:00,370 --> 00:30:01,830
And at the theater, too.
495
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,320
'Then, as I end the refrain'....
496
00:30:04,350 --> 00:30:07,390
When she arrives.
Where can we converse undisturbed?
497
00:30:07,420 --> 00:30:09,190
Wherever you like.
My shop is yours.
498
00:30:09,310 --> 00:30:11,900
The little dining room
is quite romantic.
499
00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:14,490
'Thrust home!'
Yea gods, what a line.
500
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,650
- 'Then as I end the re....'
- Vanish.
501
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:18,110
- Uh, huh, she's come?
- Shhhh.
502
00:30:18,140 --> 00:30:18,920
I swear.
503
00:30:27,340 --> 00:30:28,170
Welcome.
504
00:30:38,470 --> 00:30:40,510
- A pardon, one word.
- Oh, yes?
505
00:30:40,550 --> 00:30:41,520
Have you a good digestion?
506
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,430
Oh, wonderful.
507
00:30:43,290 --> 00:30:48,800
Eh, here are some éclairs.
Uh, creampuffs.
508
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,160
Some, uh, jellyrolls.
And do you like nature?
509
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,400
I adore it.
510
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,760
Go out and eat these in the sunshine.
Do not return.
511
00:30:56,790 --> 00:30:57,440
But why?
512
00:30:57,470 --> 00:30:58,910
Until you have finished them.
513
00:30:58,940 --> 00:31:00,340
(outside)
- What do I do then?
514
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,750
(door closes)
515
00:31:09,970 --> 00:31:13,000
Blessed above all others be the hour
when you remember to remember me,
516
00:31:13,230 --> 00:31:15,800
and came to tell me......what?
517
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,750
To tell you that....
518
00:31:19,060 --> 00:31:21,810
Before I dare tell you I....
519
00:31:22,020 --> 00:31:24,850
Are you, I wonder, still
the same big brother almost
520
00:31:24,890 --> 00:31:26,720
that you used to be
when we were children,
521
00:31:26,750 --> 00:31:29,570
playing by the pond
in the old garden down there?
522
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,570
At Bergerac.
Those lovely summers.
523
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,700
You use to make swords
out of bulrushes.
524
00:31:33,740 --> 00:31:35,810
And you, dandelions
also golden hair.
525
00:31:35,890 --> 00:31:37,930
In those days
I could tell you everything.
526
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,860
And you did
everything I wished.
527
00:31:40,060 --> 00:31:44,830
Little Roxane, a sweet tyrone
with short skirts and long hair.
528
00:31:44,860 --> 00:31:45,780
Was I pretty?
529
00:31:49,830 --> 00:31:51,270
Not too plain.
530
00:31:52,150 --> 00:31:54,490
Sometimes when you had fallen
or hurt your hand,
531
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,670
you used to come running to me,
and I would be your mother and say,
532
00:31:57,710 --> 00:32:02,770
oh, with a very grownup voice,
'Now, what have you been doing to yourself?'
533
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,300
'Let me see.'
534
00:32:05,890 --> 00:32:07,060
- Oh!
- No one that.
535
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:08,230
Wait, let me see.
536
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,540
Still. At your age?
537
00:32:12,010 --> 00:32:13,810
Now, how did you do that?
538
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,910
Playing with the big boys
at the Place de Neanne.
539
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:18,410
Come here.
540
00:32:19,330 --> 00:32:21,020
Such a wise little mother.
541
00:32:21,030 --> 00:32:24,740
And tell me, while I wash this
blood away, how many you played with?
542
00:32:24,770 --> 00:32:26,840
- Oh, about a hundred.
- A hundred?
543
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,950
- More or less.
- It can't be.
544
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:31,080
No.
545
00:32:31,670 --> 00:32:33,720
Tell me what you were
going to tell me.....
546
00:32:34,130 --> 00:32:35,320
if you dared.
547
00:32:36,190 --> 00:32:38,060
I think I do dare, now.
548
00:32:38,860 --> 00:32:41,450
It seems so like
those happy days long ago.
549
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,780
Yes, I dare.
550
00:32:44,350 --> 00:32:47,190
Listen....I love someone.
551
00:32:47,850 --> 00:32:48,440
Yes?
552
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,150
Someone who does not know.
553
00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:51,340
Yes?
554
00:32:51,450 --> 00:32:54,970
Someone who loves me, too,
but is afraid of me and keeps away
555
00:32:55,010 --> 00:32:56,340
and never says one word.
556
00:32:57,570 --> 00:32:58,270
(softly)
Yes.
557
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,210
Give my that hand.
558
00:33:01,870 --> 00:33:03,080
Why, how hot it is.
559
00:33:04,390 --> 00:33:06,390
Yes, he loves me.
I am sure of it.
560
00:33:06,740 --> 00:33:07,530
(softly)
Yes.
561
00:33:08,110 --> 00:33:10,730
And he is a soldier, too,
in your own regiment,
562
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,710
your own company.
563
00:33:11,740 --> 00:33:12,750
(loud)
Yes.
564
00:33:13,340 --> 00:33:14,480
Such a man.
565
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,280
He is proud, noble, young, brave,
566
00:33:18,610 --> 00:33:19,700
beautiful!
567
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:22,550
(softly)
Beautiful.
568
00:33:25,180 --> 00:33:26,040
What's the matter?
569
00:33:26,460 --> 00:33:27,160
Oh, nothing.
570
00:33:28,110 --> 00:33:30,210
It's this, my hand.
571
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,280
I love him.
That is all.
572
00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:38,230
And I have never seen him
anywhere except in the theater.
573
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,710
You have never spoken?
574
00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:42,790
Only with our hearts.
575
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,080
Well, then, how do you know?
576
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:50,270
Well, people talk about people,
and I hear things, and...
577
00:33:51,370 --> 00:33:52,700
and I know.
578
00:33:53,890 --> 00:33:55,540
(firmly)
You say he is in the guards?
579
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,530
His name?
580
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,270
Baron Christian de Neuvillette.
581
00:34:02,790 --> 00:34:03,910
You know him?
582
00:34:04,290 --> 00:34:05,650
He is not in the guards.
583
00:34:05,690 --> 00:34:07,020
Yes, since last week.
584
00:34:07,770 --> 00:34:09,550
He is only lately
come to Paris...
585
00:34:09,730 --> 00:34:11,140
from Normandy.
586
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,070
So soon.
So soon we lose our hearts.
587
00:34:15,570 --> 00:34:16,160
What...
(door opens)
588
00:34:16,190 --> 00:34:17,220
(Duenna)
- Monsieur de Bergerac
589
00:34:17,250 --> 00:34:18,850
- I have eaten all the cakes.
590
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,280
Good.
Now, go out and enjoy nature.
591
00:34:23,020 --> 00:34:26,110
But my dear child, you love
only words, wit, poetry.
592
00:34:26,150 --> 00:34:29,950
Why, for all you know,
the man may be a savage or a fool.
593
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:34,290
Not with such eyes.
I read his soul in them.
594
00:34:35,270 --> 00:34:38,360
Yes, all our souls are
written in our eyes.
595
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,720
And you have brought
me here to tell me this?
596
00:34:42,980 --> 00:34:45,890
I do not yet quite understand,
madam, the reason for your confidence.
597
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:52,640
They say, that in your company,
it frightens me, you are all Gascon.
598
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,850
We pick a quarrel with any outsider
who intrudes himself.
599
00:34:54,890 --> 00:34:56,250
Is that what you have heard?
600
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,150
- I'm so afraid for him.
- Not without reason.
601
00:34:59,190 --> 00:35:03,730
And I thought you...
it's you whom they all respect and fear.
602
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,590
You want me to defend
your little Baron?
603
00:35:08,630 --> 00:35:09,740
Will you?
604
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:11,670
Just for me.
605
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,440
Because I have always
been your friend.
606
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,790
And this is what
you want of me?
607
00:35:16,820 --> 00:35:18,430
Will you be his friend?
608
00:35:20,450 --> 00:35:22,200
I will be his friend.
609
00:35:22,230 --> 00:35:23,040
And never let him
fight a duel.
610
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,060
No, never.
611
00:35:24,090 --> 00:35:24,750
Promise?
612
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:26,980
I promise.
613
00:35:27,420 --> 00:35:30,860
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
I knew I could rely on you.
614
00:35:33,930 --> 00:35:35,410
Well, now I must go.
615
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,480
Oh, you never told
me about last night.
616
00:35:43,970 --> 00:35:45,790
Why, you must
have been a hero.
617
00:35:45,820 --> 00:35:50,240
Have write and tell me all about it,
and...about himself.
618
00:35:51,420 --> 00:35:54,330
Oh, you are a darling.
We are great friends, are we not?
619
00:35:54,860 --> 00:35:56,330
He must write to me.
620
00:35:58,390 --> 00:36:01,490
A hundred men against one.
You shall tell me the whole story
621
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:02,980
someday when we have time.
622
00:36:06,570 --> 00:36:10,170
A hundred men.
What courage!
623
00:36:14,030 --> 00:36:16,810
I have done better.
624
00:36:21,820 --> 00:36:22,450
Well?
625
00:36:24,890 --> 00:36:26,050
Let us leave this place.
626
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,620
But the whole company
is on its way here.
627
00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:28,330
Oh, no.
628
00:36:28,370 --> 00:36:30,870
On my heels. Naturally I told
them all about last night.
629
00:36:30,900 --> 00:36:31,880
They're wild.
630
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:32,830
Here they are.
631
00:36:32,860 --> 00:36:35,420
- Yes, but, why did you?
- Perhaps I can stop them.
632
00:36:36,210 --> 00:36:36,870
Never mind.
633
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,220
Cyrano!
634
00:36:39,260 --> 00:36:46,070
(greetings and cheers to Cyrano)
635
00:36:49,130 --> 00:36:51,570
Eight dead men in the street.
Scandalous.
636
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,010
You know my edict
against dueling, nephew.
637
00:36:54,050 --> 00:36:55,580
I expect to have it enforced.
638
00:36:55,610 --> 00:36:58,940
Furthermore, I wish to know
who was responsible for last night's
639
00:36:58,970 --> 00:37:00,410
outrage at the Place de Neanne.
640
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:01,840
I understand, Your Eminence.
641
00:37:02,050 --> 00:37:04,180
Very well.
And now I have news
642
00:37:04,210 --> 00:37:06,310
that should be more
to you liking.
643
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:13,410
I fear, in confidence, our
uneasy armistice with Spain is doomed.
644
00:37:13,450 --> 00:37:14,410
My colonelcy?
645
00:37:14,450 --> 00:37:16,670
You commission has been prepared.
646
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:18,890
Oh, thank you, uncle, thank you.
647
00:37:19,230 --> 00:37:20,630
Oh, one thing more.
648
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,600
Last night at the theater,
the duel in rhyme,
649
00:37:24,790 --> 00:37:26,970
that guardsman with a nose.
650
00:37:27,010 --> 00:37:30,240
- Bergerac, that impossible Gascon.
- Yes, impossible.
651
00:37:30,260 --> 00:37:32,300
- His treatment of Montfleury.
- Abominable.
652
00:37:32,330 --> 00:37:35,230
- The arrogance with which he closed the play.
- Incredible.
653
00:37:35,260 --> 00:37:38,130
- It will be a miracle if the Vicomte survives.
- A sorrow.
654
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,720
What will you do
with him, Your Eminence?
655
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,100
I? Nothing.
656
00:37:41,140 --> 00:37:43,290
I thought I might
leave that to you.
657
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,500
To me?
658
00:37:44,530 --> 00:37:48,270
Yes. Place him somewhere
in your service,
659
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:49,890
with a comfortable allowance.
660
00:37:49,930 --> 00:37:51,390
He looked a little threadbare.
661
00:37:51,430 --> 00:37:55,020
I...You...But, Your Eminence.
You detest dueling.
662
00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:55,960
Of course I do.
663
00:37:56,350 --> 00:37:58,070
Why didn't you prevent it?
664
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,350
I should much prefer
that monsieur de Beregrac
665
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,300
live by the pen,
rather than die by the sword.
666
00:38:06,590 --> 00:38:08,470
Do you not agree, Antoine?
667
00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:12,560
By all means, Your Eminence.
By all means.
668
00:38:14,830 --> 00:38:21,650
'And then, as I end the refrain...
thrust home.'
669
00:38:24,790 --> 00:38:28,740
(Carousing at Ragueneau's)
670
00:38:33,220 --> 00:38:39,860
(noisy celebration of Cyrano's
defeat of 'a hundred' ruffians)
671
00:38:44,210 --> 00:38:46,580
(Antoine Comte de Guiche enters)
672
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:48,620
Monsieur de Bergerac.
673
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,390
Your Excellency.
674
00:38:51,970 --> 00:38:54,750
I have come to express my....
675
00:38:54,790 --> 00:38:58,550
admiration for both
your exploits last night.
676
00:38:58,590 --> 00:39:01,290
Indeed. Thank you.
677
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,900
My dear fellow,
we may have had our differences,
678
00:39:04,930 --> 00:39:07,550
but I am disposed
to forget them.
679
00:39:07,570 --> 00:39:09,710
That is very generous
of you, sir.
680
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:10,560
No, truly.
681
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,970
You are, it seems, a man
of many skills.
682
00:39:14,010 --> 00:39:17,350
A rare combination
soldier and poet.
683
00:39:18,060 --> 00:39:21,750
- Would you care to join my following?
- No, sir.
684
00:39:21,790 --> 00:39:23,260
I do not follow.
685
00:39:23,770 --> 00:39:25,980
I am told you have
written a play.
686
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,510
As you know, my uncle,
the Cardinal, is also a dramatist.
687
00:39:29,540 --> 00:39:30,990
I might help you there.
688
00:39:31,150 --> 00:39:34,050
Cyrano, now at last
you can have it performed.
689
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,200
Why not?
690
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:36,620
I could take it to him.
691
00:39:37,860 --> 00:39:39,330
Really?
692
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,460
Of course.
Let him rewrite a few lines
693
00:39:41,490 --> 00:39:43,770
here and there, and
he'll find a theater for you.
694
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,230
Rewrite...my lines?
695
00:39:47,670 --> 00:39:49,150
Impossible.
696
00:39:49,190 --> 00:39:52,040
Uh, when he likes a thing,
he pays well.
697
00:39:52,070 --> 00:39:53,240
Yes, but not so well as I.
698
00:39:53,270 --> 00:39:55,460
When I have made a line
that sings itself
699
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:57,220
I pay myself a hundred times.
700
00:39:57,250 --> 00:39:58,940
You are proud, my friend.
701
00:39:58,970 --> 00:40:00,020
You have observed that?
702
00:40:00,060 --> 00:40:02,460
- Cyrano.
See what we found in the street.
703
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:05,140
Plumes dropped in their flight
by those fine birds
704
00:40:05,170 --> 00:40:06,860
who showed their
tail feathers!
705
00:40:06,890 --> 00:40:08,590
(laughter)
706
00:40:08,620 --> 00:40:10,180
The man who hired
those scoundrels,
707
00:40:10,210 --> 00:40:12,010
he must be an
angry man today.
708
00:40:12,050 --> 00:40:13,430
Who was it?
Do you know?
709
00:40:13,850 --> 00:40:14,790
It was I.
710
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,870
I hired them to do the sort
of work we do not soil our hands with.
711
00:40:20,660 --> 00:40:22,940
Punishing an insolent poet.
712
00:40:22,970 --> 00:40:25,610
They ought to be mounted
before they spoil.
713
00:40:25,650 --> 00:40:27,850
(laughter)
What shall we do with them?
714
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:36,460
Sir, will you not return these
to your friends?
715
00:40:40,310 --> 00:40:42,190
Have you read Don Quixote?
716
00:40:42,230 --> 00:40:44,650
I have and found
myself the hero.
717
00:40:44,690 --> 00:40:47,770
Be so good as to read once more
the capture of the windmills.
718
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,010
Chapter 13.
719
00:40:50,150 --> 00:40:52,200
Windmills, remember,
if you fight with them...
720
00:40:52,230 --> 00:40:56,590
may swing round their huge arms
and cast you down into the mire.
721
00:40:56,630 --> 00:40:59,010
Or up among the stars.
722
00:41:01,250 --> 00:41:01,970
Gentlemen.
723
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:03,320
Gentlemen.
724
00:41:03,570 --> 00:41:04,550
Gentlemen.
725
00:41:05,220 --> 00:41:06,610
You've done it, now.
726
00:41:06,650 --> 00:41:07,860
You've made your fortune.
727
00:41:07,890 --> 00:41:09,070
He was willing to forget.
728
00:41:09,490 --> 00:41:11,180
There you go again, growling.
729
00:41:11,210 --> 00:41:13,460
Yesss,
this latest pose of yours,
730
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:16,070
ruining every opportunity
that comes you way,
731
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:17,100
becomes exaggerated.
732
00:41:17,140 --> 00:41:18,250
Very well, then, I exaggerate.
733
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:19,710
There are certain things
in this world
734
00:41:19,740 --> 00:41:21,100
a man does well
to carry to extremes.
735
00:41:21,140 --> 00:41:23,710
Your precious independence.
Your white plume.
736
00:41:23,740 --> 00:41:25,410
How do you expect
to succeed in life?
737
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,400
What would you have me do?
738
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,590
Seek for the patronage
of some great man
739
00:41:28,630 --> 00:41:31,880
and like a creeping vine
on a tall tree crawl upward
740
00:41:31,910 --> 00:41:33,520
where I cannot stand alone?
741
00:41:33,940 --> 00:41:34,850
No, thank you.
742
00:41:35,210 --> 00:41:39,880
Be a buffoon in the vile hope
of teasing out a smile on some cold face.
743
00:41:40,340 --> 00:41:41,710
No, thank you.
744
00:41:42,050 --> 00:41:44,260
Eat a toad for breakfast
every morning.
745
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:47,530
Make my knees calloused.
Cultivate a supple spine.
746
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,320
Wear out my belly
groveling in the dust.
747
00:41:49,590 --> 00:41:50,400
No, thank you.
748
00:41:50,860 --> 00:41:54,880
With my left hand scratch the back
of any swine that roots up gold for me
749
00:41:54,910 --> 00:41:58,910
while my right, too proud to know
his partner's business, takes in the fee.
750
00:41:58,940 --> 00:41:59,920
No, thank you.
751
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,810
Shall I use the fire God gave me
to burn incense all day long?
752
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,020
No, thank you.
753
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,410
Struggle to insinuate my name
into the columns of the Gazette?
754
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:13,250
Calculate, scheme, be afraid?
Love more to make a visit than a poem?
755
00:42:13,290 --> 00:42:15,990
Seek introductions, favors,
influences?
756
00:42:16,020 --> 00:42:17,050
No, thank you.
757
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,270
No, I thank you, and
again I thank you.
758
00:42:23,930 --> 00:42:30,320
But, to sing, to laugh, to dream,
to walk in my own way,
759
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,510
free with and eye
to see things as they are.
760
00:42:33,380 --> 00:42:35,240
A voice that means manhood.
761
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,640
To cut my have
the right shoes.
762
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:46,150
And a word, a yes, a no,
to fight, or write,
763
00:42:46,830 --> 00:42:48,440
but never to make
a line I have not heard
764
00:42:48,470 --> 00:42:49,780
in my own heart.
765
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,380
To travel any
road under the sun,
766
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,780
under the stars,
767
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,520
nor care if fame or fortune
lie beyond the bourne.
768
00:43:00,370 --> 00:43:02,250
Yet, with all modesty to say,
769
00:43:03,250 --> 00:43:05,830
my soul be satisfied
with flowers,
770
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:08,000
with weeds,
771
00:43:09,210 --> 00:43:10,840
with thorns, even,
772
00:43:11,910 --> 00:43:14,940
but gather them in the one garden
you may call your own.
773
00:43:16,230 --> 00:43:18,450
In a word, I'm too proud
to be a parasite.
774
00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:21,470
And if mine intellect the germ
that grows towering to heaven
775
00:43:21,500 --> 00:43:22,770
like the mountain pine
776
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,570
I stand not high, it may be,
777
00:43:27,260 --> 00:43:28,460
but alone.
778
00:43:28,500 --> 00:43:31,170
Alone, yes, but why
go about making enemies?
779
00:43:32,100 --> 00:43:35,850
Watching other people
making friends...everywhere,
780
00:43:35,890 --> 00:43:37,980
as a dog makes friends.
781
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,550
I mark the manner of
these canine courtesies,
782
00:43:41,580 --> 00:43:46,770
and think, here comes,
thank heaven, another enemy.
783
00:43:46,810 --> 00:43:52,760
Yes, tell this to all the world,
and then to me say very softly
784
00:43:52,790 --> 00:43:55,540
that she loves you not.
785
00:43:58,830 --> 00:44:00,940
Let me be alone
for a moment.
786
00:44:03,990 --> 00:44:05,050
Cyrano, wait.
787
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,760
Give us your story
of the fight.
788
00:44:07,530 --> 00:44:08,400
Presently.
789
00:44:08,430 --> 00:44:10,010
No, the story, now!
790
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,970
Oh, let him alone.
There's time enough.
791
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,360
I want it now!
792
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,090
As an example for that young
tadpole sneaking out the doorway.
793
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,040
You, there.
794
00:44:25,310 --> 00:44:26,820
Are you addressing me?
795
00:44:28,190 --> 00:44:32,770
Yes, you flat-footed
Norman farmer.
796
00:44:36,190 --> 00:44:37,470
You wish something of me?
797
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:39,950
Listen, Monsieur de...de...de
whatever your name is.
798
00:44:39,980 --> 00:44:40,920
de Neuvillette!
799
00:44:41,090 --> 00:44:43,230
Baron Christan de Neuvillette.
800
00:44:43,270 --> 00:44:45,370
Very well, de Neuvillette.
801
00:44:45,670 --> 00:44:48,080
As you are a newcomer here,
you should know there is a
802
00:44:48,110 --> 00:44:52,300
certain subject or object, if you prefer,
that is never mentioned among us.
803
00:44:52,340 --> 00:44:53,340
And that is....?
804
00:44:53,370 --> 00:44:54,500
Look at me!
805
00:44:54,540 --> 00:44:55,980
(touching his nose)
806
00:44:56,020 --> 00:44:57,360
You understand?
807
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:58,670
You mean....?
808
00:44:58,700 --> 00:45:01,090
Thus we never speak that word.
809
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,390
To even breathe it is
to have to do with him.
810
00:45:04,420 --> 00:45:08,760
He has exterminated several
whose mere tone of voice suggested...
811
00:45:08,790 --> 00:45:12,920
Would you die before your time?
Just mention anything convex.
812
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,530
Or cartilaginous.
813
00:45:14,570 --> 00:45:18,540
One word. One syllable.
One gesture. Nay, one sneeze.
814
00:45:18,570 --> 00:45:21,330
And your handkerchief
becomes your winding sheet.
815
00:45:24,110 --> 00:45:24,920
Captain.
816
00:45:25,430 --> 00:45:26,290
Sir?
817
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:30,090
What is the proper thing to do
when Gascons grow too boastful?
818
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,820
Prove to them that one may
be a Norman and still have courage.
819
00:45:33,850 --> 00:45:35,100
I thank you.
820
00:45:41,330 --> 00:45:43,360
Come on, Cyrano, your story.
821
00:45:44,420 --> 00:45:47,330
(shouts of encouragement)
822
00:45:47,740 --> 00:45:49,540
Now, let me see.
Where shall we begin?
823
00:45:50,450 --> 00:45:52,510
I followed with our host
to meet those scoundrels
824
00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:53,640
not knowing where
they might attack.
825
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,340
No lamps in those narrow
back streets.
826
00:45:57,500 --> 00:45:58,600
No moon in the sky.
827
00:45:59,340 --> 00:46:01,220
Dark. Everything dark.
828
00:46:01,430 --> 00:46:04,040
It was so dark, Mon Dieux,
you could not see beyond...
829
00:46:04,070 --> 00:46:05,470
Your nose!
830
00:46:05,850 --> 00:46:08,480
(Christian shows his courage.)
831
00:46:25,250 --> 00:46:33,250
Who...is that...man...there?
832
00:46:34,260 --> 00:46:35,380
- A new recruit.
833
00:46:36,070 --> 00:46:37,550
- Arrived last week.
834
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,080
A recruit, eh?
835
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:41,940
Ha, ha---.
836
00:46:41,970 --> 00:46:45,320
His name is Christian de Neuvillette.
837
00:46:45,350 --> 00:46:48,660
(Cyrano remembers his
promise to Roxane.)
838
00:46:58,510 --> 00:46:59,570
I see.
839
00:47:02,670 --> 00:47:03,510
Very well.
840
00:47:04,850 --> 00:47:06,470
As I was saying.
841
00:47:10,830 --> 00:47:11,930
It grew dark.
842
00:47:12,460 --> 00:47:15,180
You could not see
your hand before your eyes.
843
00:47:16,310 --> 00:47:19,470
I marched on thinking our all for
the sake of one amateur poet
844
00:47:19,510 --> 00:47:22,660
- who wrote a verse whenever he took a..
- A nose full.
845
00:47:24,370 --> 00:47:25,770
...whenever he took a notion.,
846
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,600
and might antagonize
some dangerous man.
847
00:47:28,630 --> 00:47:30,830
One powerful enough
to make me pay...
848
00:47:30,860 --> 00:47:31,980
Through the nose!
849
00:47:32,010 --> 00:47:33,090
...pay the piper!
850
00:47:33,410 --> 00:47:35,430
After all, I thought,
why am I putting in my..
851
00:47:35,470 --> 00:47:36,310
- Nose!
852
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:39,170
...putting in my oar in a quarrel
that was none of mine,
853
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,240
however now that I am here,
I may as well go through with it.
854
00:47:41,270 --> 00:47:42,840
Come Gascon, do your duty.
855
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,850
Suddenly a sword
flashed in the dark!
856
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:45,810
I caught it fair...
857
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:46,810
On the nose!
858
00:47:47,940 --> 00:47:49,130
...on my blade!
859
00:47:49,170 --> 00:47:50,530
Before I knew it,
there I was...
860
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:51,690
Rubbing noses!
861
00:47:51,730 --> 00:47:53,840
...crossing swords with
harvard's joy once.
862
00:47:53,870 --> 00:47:54,940
I had the bottom then...
863
00:47:54,980 --> 00:47:55,900
A nosegay!
864
00:47:55,940 --> 00:47:57,160
...a monstrous crab tree.
865
00:47:57,610 --> 00:48:00,170
(breathing heavily)
He went down for as a wave.
866
00:48:00,380 --> 00:48:00,990
I charged...
867
00:48:01,030 --> 00:48:02,590
Who was in the air hard.
868
00:48:02,620 --> 00:48:03,450
...at the two of them.
869
00:48:04,750 --> 00:48:05,900
Another lunged,
and I parried...
870
00:48:05,940 --> 00:48:07,220
Through your nose!
871
00:48:07,250 --> 00:48:09,310
Right out of here!
All of you go!
872
00:48:09,340 --> 00:48:10,120
Leave me with him.
873
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,660
To my arms, sir.
You have courage.
874
00:48:28,690 --> 00:48:29,880
- That pleases me.
- Why?
875
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,820
Come, do you not know
I am her brother?
876
00:48:31,850 --> 00:48:32,460
Whose?
877
00:48:32,500 --> 00:48:34,250
Hers. Roxane.
878
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:38,390
Brother?
879
00:48:39,260 --> 00:48:40,170
You?
880
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,150
Well, a distant cousin.
Much the same.
881
00:48:42,510 --> 00:48:44,450
- Then she has told you?
- Everything.
882
00:48:44,580 --> 00:48:46,680
- She loves me?
- Perhaps.
883
00:48:47,610 --> 00:48:49,950
My dear sir, more than I can say.
I am honored.
884
00:48:49,990 --> 00:48:52,040
- Rather sudden.
- Oh, please, forgive me.
885
00:48:52,260 --> 00:48:54,270
If you knew how
much I have admired you.
886
00:48:54,310 --> 00:48:57,620
- Yes, yes, and all those noses.
- Please. I apologize.
887
00:48:59,060 --> 00:49:00,680
Roxane expects a letter.
888
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:02,300
- From me?
- Yes, why not?
889
00:49:02,340 --> 00:49:03,180
Oh,, No.
890
00:49:03,530 --> 00:49:05,880
- Once I write, that ruins everything.
- Why?
891
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,020
Because, any schoolboy can write
to her more gracefully than I.
892
00:49:09,590 --> 00:49:10,730
A fool!
893
00:49:10,900 --> 00:49:14,560
- You did not attack me like a fool.
- Anyone can pick a quarrel.
894
00:49:14,740 --> 00:49:16,580
No, I'm never at loss
for words among men,
895
00:49:16,610 --> 00:49:21,260
but with any women...
paralyzed...speechless, dumb.
896
00:49:21,460 --> 00:49:23,600
I'm one of those
stammering idiots
897
00:49:23,630 --> 00:49:25,270
who can not court a woman.
898
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:26,170
Really?
899
00:49:26,810 --> 00:49:28,700
As for myself,
it seems to me that
900
00:49:28,730 --> 00:49:32,300
given the opportunity,
and if I put my mind to it,
901
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,390
I could do that..
rather well.
902
00:49:35,420 --> 00:49:37,870
Oh, is I had words to say
what I have here!
903
00:49:37,900 --> 00:49:39,450
If I were handsome
like you.
904
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,780
Together, we could make
one mighty hero of romance.
905
00:49:43,820 --> 00:49:45,330
If only I had your wit.
906
00:49:50,570 --> 00:49:51,710
Borrow it, then.
907
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:53,150
What?
908
00:49:54,670 --> 00:49:55,490
Tell me,
909
00:49:56,910 --> 00:49:59,770
would you dare repeat to her
the words I gave you day by day?
910
00:50:00,330 --> 00:50:02,420
Send to her
the letters that I write?
911
00:50:02,460 --> 00:50:04,800
I mean, that Roxane
should have no disillusionment.
912
00:50:05,180 --> 00:50:06,820
Come, shall we win her
both together?
913
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:07,800
For you?
914
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,970
- Why, Cyrano...
- Christian, why not?
915
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,850
I...I'm afraid.
916
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,030
Afraid that when you
have her all alone, you will lose her.
917
00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:16,420
Have not fear,
it is your self she loves.
918
00:50:16,450 --> 00:50:17,920
Give her yourself.
919
00:50:17,950 --> 00:50:23,670
Put into words,
my words...upon your lips.
920
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:25,180
Will you?
921
00:50:26,780 --> 00:50:28,030
Will you?
922
00:50:28,910 --> 00:50:30,740
Does it mean
so much to you?
923
00:50:30,770 --> 00:50:32,360
It means....
924
00:50:34,110 --> 00:50:37,060
It means a comedy,
a situation for a poet.
925
00:50:37,190 --> 00:50:38,350
Come, shall we collaborate?
926
00:50:38,390 --> 00:50:42,420
I'll be your cloak of darkness,
your enchanted sword,
927
00:50:42,460 --> 00:50:45,330
your ring to charm
the fairy princess.
928
00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:49,180
Think!
Is the prize not worth the danger?
929
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:52,980
My friend!
930
00:50:54,620 --> 00:50:55,740
My friend.
931
00:50:56,890 --> 00:51:00,100
Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
932
00:51:00,350 --> 00:51:03,650
Plucking the flowers,
we will keep the plant in bloom.
933
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,010
Thus do I love thee,
my darling.
934
00:51:08,890 --> 00:51:09,670
Idiot.
935
00:51:09,910 --> 00:51:12,200
There are a dozen
ways to read that line.
936
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:14,500
Can't you give it some meaning?
Any meaning!
937
00:51:14,530 --> 00:51:15,950
THUS do I love thee!
938
00:51:15,980 --> 00:51:17,280
Thus do "I" love thee.
939
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:18,550
Thus do I LOVE thee.
940
00:51:18,580 --> 00:51:20,930
Thus do I love THEE,
THEE, THEE.
941
00:51:22,580 --> 00:51:25,680
Who knows your smile
has known a perfect thing.
942
00:51:25,710 --> 00:51:28,400
You are a white rose,
wherein love lies in ambush
943
00:51:28,430 --> 00:51:30,180
for its natural prey.
944
00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:33,760
In the garden of my heart,
you are the most...
945
00:51:33,930 --> 00:51:35,680
eh, the most....
946
00:51:37,450 --> 00:51:39,750
fragrant blossom.
947
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,780
As the tender sapling
thirsts for rain,
948
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,900
as the eagle seeks the sky,
949
00:51:48,030 --> 00:51:51,050
as the wave
hurtles toward the shore,
950
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,990
my heart yearns for you.
951
00:51:54,460 --> 00:51:55,820
Good, good.
952
00:51:55,970 --> 00:51:58,740
You know, you're beginning
to have a feel for words.
953
00:51:58,770 --> 00:52:02,010
- Words. I'm sick of words.
- Those are your weapons.
954
00:52:02,050 --> 00:52:03,190
How else do you conquer?
955
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,130
Yes, but when, when?
956
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,190
They're fighting in the north, now.
You know that.
957
00:52:06,230 --> 00:52:07,690
The Regiment will be
called up any day,
958
00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:08,840
and I've never
even kissed her.
959
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,940
Patience, my boy, patience.
960
00:52:11,980 --> 00:52:13,110
I've been patient.
961
00:52:13,140 --> 00:52:16,280
Why, she sees the Compte de Guiche
as often as she does me.
962
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,120
Do you suppose
she's playing with me?
963
00:52:21,260 --> 00:52:22,500
Making a fool of me?
964
00:52:23,850 --> 00:52:24,880
Impossible.
965
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,210
How can you say?
How do you know?
966
00:52:27,210 --> 00:52:31,390
Cyrano, you have her confidence.
You could find out.
967
00:52:39,300 --> 00:52:40,690
Nonsense, I say.
968
00:52:42,260 --> 00:52:43,440
Oh, very well.
969
00:52:43,870 --> 00:52:45,190
I'll scout the terrain.
970
00:52:45,230 --> 00:52:47,200
Listen, Cyrano,
intelligently, discreetly.
971
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:48,160
Yes.
972
00:52:48,190 --> 00:52:49,340
With finesse.
973
00:52:52,010 --> 00:52:55,510
And, uh, what do you think
of Christian after all these weeks?
974
00:52:55,620 --> 00:52:58,030
He is beautiful,
but he's brilliant.
975
00:52:58,070 --> 00:52:59,760
- And I love him.
- Good!
976
00:52:59,870 --> 00:53:01,750
Uh, do you find him intellectual?
977
00:53:01,790 --> 00:53:03,600
- More so than you, even.
- Huh?
978
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,470
- Oh, I didn't mean.
- No, no, no, I am glad.
979
00:53:06,500 --> 00:53:09,290
No man ever so beautifully
said those things.
980
00:53:09,330 --> 00:53:11,900
Those pretty nothings
to everything.
981
00:53:12,310 --> 00:53:15,780
Sometimes, he,. he, he falls
into a reverie.
982
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,110
His inspiration..fails.
983
00:53:20,050 --> 00:53:23,940
But, then all at once,
he will say something absolutely...
984
00:53:23,980 --> 00:53:25,370
Ah!
985
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:26,760
Really?
986
00:53:27,470 --> 00:53:28,910
How like a man!
987
00:53:28,940 --> 00:53:32,220
You think because a man
has a handsome face he must be a fool.
988
00:53:33,330 --> 00:53:34,790
Not necessarily.
989
00:53:34,830 --> 00:53:38,410
Uh, he talks well about, uh,
matters of the heart?
990
00:53:38,450 --> 00:53:42,420
He does not talk.
He rhapsodizes. He dreams.
991
00:53:42,460 --> 00:53:46,360
Only the other night he said to me,
extemporaneously, mind you.
992
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:47,220
Oh, of course.
993
00:53:47,980 --> 00:53:50,660
'Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
994
00:53:50,700 --> 00:53:54,760
'Plucking the flowers
we will keep the plants in bloom.'
995
00:53:55,720 --> 00:53:56,730
Well?
996
00:53:56,770 --> 00:53:58,530
Umm, passable.
997
00:53:58,950 --> 00:54:00,010
He writes well?
998
00:54:00,050 --> 00:54:02,080
Wonderfully, listen:
999
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,510
'Knowing you have in store
more heart to give
1000
00:54:05,550 --> 00:54:08,160
- 'than I to find heart room...'
- The first he has too much heart,
1001
00:54:08,190 --> 00:54:10,400
then too little. Just how much heart
does he need?
1002
00:54:10,470 --> 00:54:11,740
You are teasing.
1003
00:54:11,870 --> 00:54:12,870
You are jealous!
1004
00:54:12,910 --> 00:54:13,690
Jealous?
1005
00:54:13,730 --> 00:54:14,440
Yes.
1006
00:54:14,470 --> 00:54:15,840
Poets are all alike.
1007
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:19,660
Would you dare
criticize these lines?
1008
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:25,100
'Only believe that unto you
my whole heart gives one cry.
1009
00:54:25,540 --> 00:54:29,470
'And writing, writes down
more than you receive.
1010
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,010
'Sending you kisses
through my fingertips.
1011
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,020
'Lady, oh, read my letter
with your lips.'
1012
00:54:39,340 --> 00:54:43,820
Yes, those last lines,
but he overwrites.
1013
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:44,970
Listen to this.
1014
00:54:45,010 --> 00:54:46,000
Do you know
them all by heart?
1015
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,070
Every one.
1016
00:54:47,110 --> 00:54:48,500
Well, I may call
that flattering.
1017
00:54:48,530 --> 00:54:49,310
He is a master.
1018
00:54:49,350 --> 00:54:51,850
- Oh, come..
- Yes, a master.
1019
00:54:51,860 --> 00:54:55,270
Huh, a master,...
if you will.
1020
00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:00,520
And, uh, when do you
bestow the laurel wreath?
1021
00:55:00,540 --> 00:55:05,290
How many prodigies of poetry
must this new Hercules perform?
1022
00:55:05,390 --> 00:55:06,490
I do not know.
1023
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:11,580
My friend, you men own the world
and all that's in it.
1024
00:55:12,020 --> 00:55:17,990
Woman is at best a prize, a property
valued much the same as a horse or a dog,
1025
00:55:18,150 --> 00:55:22,010
unlike the pear and sheen of skin
and soundness of teeth and limb.
1026
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:27,870
Well, if I must be chattel,
then the terms shall be mine,
1027
00:55:27,910 --> 00:55:31,480
and the price according
to my own values.
1028
00:55:31,510 --> 00:55:32,670
There.
1029
00:55:34,070 --> 00:55:35,460
I see.
1030
00:55:37,060 --> 00:55:39,880
Christian tells me
that you meet tonight.
1031
00:55:42,510 --> 00:55:45,210
What would you have him
speak about?
1032
00:55:46,230 --> 00:55:47,910
Oh, nothing,
1033
00:55:48,260 --> 00:55:49,530
and everything.
1034
00:55:49,980 --> 00:55:54,140
I shall say, speak to me
of love in your own words.
1035
00:55:54,550 --> 00:55:56,810
Improvise, rhapsodize.
1036
00:55:57,540 --> 00:55:58,790
Be eloquent.
1037
00:55:59,910 --> 00:56:01,540
But you will not tell him,
will you?
1038
00:56:01,570 --> 00:56:03,270
Ah, perish the thought.
1039
00:56:03,590 --> 00:56:06,370
Madame, Compte de Guiche.
1040
00:56:10,720 --> 00:56:12,820
(Sigh)
Madame.
1041
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:16,880
Monsieur.
1042
00:56:17,770 --> 00:56:18,770
Madame.
1043
00:56:21,570 --> 00:56:24,270
Monsieur.
(Crunch)
1044
00:56:33,430 --> 00:56:35,090
- Christian, quick.
- No.
1045
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,030
There's still time to learn your lines.
No.
1046
00:56:37,070 --> 00:56:39,760
I have some brilliant phrases for you,
brilliant, sensitive...
1047
00:56:39,790 --> 00:56:40,500
No.
1048
00:56:41,150 --> 00:56:42,160
I'll have not more of it.
1049
00:56:42,190 --> 00:56:44,250
Taking all my words, my sentences
all from you,
1050
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,490
- making our love a little comedy.
- Don't you real...
1051
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,480
It was a game at first,
but now she cares.
1052
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:49,390
Huh?
1053
00:56:49,430 --> 00:56:50,750
Thanks to you.
Uh.
1054
00:56:50,790 --> 00:56:53,060
I'm not afraid any longer.
I'll speak for myself, now.
1055
00:56:53,090 --> 00:56:53,720
Oh, undoubtedly.
1056
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,990
I will. You shall see!
1057
00:56:56,500 --> 00:56:59,110
Besides, I know enough
to take a woman in my arms,
1058
00:56:59,150 --> 00:57:00,870
and tonight, I will.
1059
00:57:04,070 --> 00:57:05,420
(knocking on door)
- Christian!
1060
00:57:05,450 --> 00:57:07,210
Thank you, my friend,
and goodbye.
1061
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:09,040
- Christian, I beg of you.
- Leave me!
1062
00:57:09,070 --> 00:57:10,830
- You're making a grave error.
- Go away!
1063
00:57:13,540 --> 00:57:14,540
So be it.
1064
00:57:16,950 --> 00:57:18,600
(door opens)
1065
00:57:20,300 --> 00:57:21,440
Christian.
1066
00:57:21,470 --> 00:57:22,580
Roxane.
1067
00:57:23,190 --> 00:57:25,330
I'm so glad you are early.
1068
00:57:26,430 --> 00:57:28,400
Let us stay out here
in the moonlight.
1069
00:57:29,150 --> 00:57:30,490
It's so pleasant.
1070
00:57:32,780 --> 00:57:33,630
Sit down.
1071
00:57:36,450 --> 00:57:37,720
There, so.
1072
00:57:40,770 --> 00:57:43,780
Now, speak to me.
1073
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:45,470
I love you.
1074
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,330
Yes, speak to me of love.
1075
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,390
I...love you.
1076
00:57:53,430 --> 00:57:55,640
Now, be eloquent.
Be brilliant for me.
1077
00:57:56,300 --> 00:57:57,940
Tonight of all nights.
1078
00:57:58,250 --> 00:58:01,560
I love you....so.
1079
00:58:03,610 --> 00:58:07,630
You have your scene.
Now, improvise, rhapsodize.
1080
00:58:07,660 --> 00:58:11,570
I love you...
very much!
1081
00:58:14,500 --> 00:58:17,600
I ask for cream,
and you give me milk and water.
1082
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:22,490
Tell me firstly,
how you love me.
1083
00:58:22,530 --> 00:58:23,780
Very much!
1084
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:26,440
Is that all you feel?
1085
00:58:26,470 --> 00:58:29,360
Your throat, if only
I might kiss it.
1086
00:58:29,390 --> 00:58:30,170
Christian!
1087
00:58:30,210 --> 00:58:31,520
But, Roxane, I love you.
1088
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:32,860
Again.
1089
00:58:32,890 --> 00:58:34,450
No, not again.
I do not love you.
1090
00:58:37,490 --> 00:58:38,540
That is better.
1091
00:58:39,380 --> 00:58:42,870
I...I adore you!
1092
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:43,870
Oh!
1093
00:58:44,570 --> 00:58:46,070
I know I grow absurd.
1094
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:48,870
And that distresses me as much
as if you had grown ugly!
1095
00:58:51,020 --> 00:58:54,910
Please. Gather your dreams
together into words.
1096
00:58:54,950 --> 00:58:57,830
I...um, I...
1097
00:58:57,870 --> 00:59:00,280
I know. You love me!
Good night!
1098
00:59:00,310 --> 00:59:01,440
Oh, but wait, please!
1099
00:59:01,470 --> 00:59:02,530
I was going to say...
1100
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:04,510
That you adore me.
Yes, I know that, too.
1101
00:59:04,540 --> 00:59:06,720
-No, go away.
- I....
1102
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,290
(door slams shut)
1103
00:59:25,170 --> 00:59:28,330
(Cyrano claps his hands)
1104
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:29,870
A great success.
1105
00:59:30,940 --> 00:59:31,720
Help me.
1106
00:59:31,750 --> 00:59:33,620
Not I.
Speak for yourself, my friend.
1107
00:59:33,660 --> 00:59:35,220
Why I...I can't.
1108
00:59:35,250 --> 00:59:38,040
Well, at least you know enough
to take a woman in your arms.
1109
00:59:38,070 --> 00:59:39,680
Oh, Cyrano, please!
1110
00:59:39,790 --> 00:59:41,610
What, and make your love
a little comedy.
1111
00:59:41,650 --> 00:59:44,060
Cyrano, I cannot live
unless I win her back, now.
1112
00:59:44,100 --> 00:59:44,610
This moment!
1113
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,890
This moment. How the devil
am I to teach you now, this mo...
1114
00:59:47,980 --> 00:59:48,940
(Christian)
Her window.
1115
00:59:49,510 --> 00:59:51,690
- Help me, Cyrano, help me.
- Shhhh.
1116
00:59:53,290 --> 00:59:54,800
(Cyrano)
It does seem fairly dark.
1117
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:55,780
(Christian)
Well? Well?
1118
00:59:57,490 --> 00:59:59,190
(Cyrano)
It is more than
you deserve.
1119
01:00:00,550 --> 01:00:02,010
(Cyrano)
I must try out what
can be done.
1120
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:03,040
(Cyrano)
Stand over there.
1121
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,500
(Cyrano)
Idiot, here, before the balcony.
I'll whisper you what to say.
1122
01:00:09,540 --> 01:00:11,380
- She'll hear..
- Shhhh. Call her.
1123
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:13,690
(Christian)
Roxane.
1124
01:00:14,950 --> 01:00:17,330
(Christian louder)
Roxane.
1125
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,220
(balcony window opens)
1126
01:00:21,690 --> 01:00:22,760
Who's calling?
1127
01:00:23,430 --> 01:00:24,240
Christian.
1128
01:00:24,570 --> 01:00:25,670
You again.
1129
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:27,420
I...had to tell you.
1130
01:00:27,710 --> 01:00:29,340
No. Go away.
You tell me nothing.
1131
01:00:29,370 --> 01:00:30,390
Please.
1132
01:00:30,430 --> 01:00:32,240
You do not
love me anymore.
1133
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:34,810
(Christian copies Cyrano)
No, not anymore.
1134
01:00:35,530 --> 01:00:37,340
I love you evermore,
1135
01:00:38,150 --> 01:00:40,050
and evermore and more.
1136
01:00:41,190 --> 01:00:42,640
Oh, a little better.
1137
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,160
Love grows and struggles
like an angry child.
1138
01:00:48,710 --> 01:00:50,620
Breaking my heart.
1139
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,070
His cradle...
1140
01:00:53,110 --> 01:00:54,630
Better still.
1141
01:00:55,230 --> 01:00:57,390
But such a babe is dangerous.
1142
01:00:57,910 --> 01:01:00,140
Why not have
smothered it newborn?
1143
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:03,290
And so I do.
1144
01:01:03,650 --> 01:01:05,290
And yet he lives.
1145
01:01:06,340 --> 01:01:08,910
I found as you sha...
you shall find
1146
01:01:10,250 --> 01:01:14,400
this newborn babe...
and infant Hercules!
1147
01:01:14,900 --> 01:01:15,430
Good.
1148
01:01:15,460 --> 01:01:16,820
Strong enough at birth
1149
01:01:17,740 --> 01:01:19,600
to strangle
those two serpents
1150
01:01:20,010 --> 01:01:20,550
doubt and
1151
01:01:20,590 --> 01:01:21,090
<i>What?</i>
1152
01:01:21,250 --> 01:01:22,600
pride!
1153
01:01:23,410 --> 01:01:24,440
Why, very good.
1154
01:01:25,330 --> 01:01:27,880
Only, tell me why
you speak so haltingly.
1155
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,580
Has your imagination
gone....lame?
1156
01:01:33,260 --> 01:01:35,130
(Cyrano)
This grows too difficult.
1157
01:01:35,530 --> 01:01:38,320
Your words tonight
hesitate, why?
1158
01:01:38,630 --> 01:01:42,970
Through the warm summer gloom,
they grope in darkness
1159
01:01:43,170 --> 01:01:44,690
toward the light of you.
1160
01:01:46,010 --> 01:01:47,860
My words are
heavy with honey,
1161
01:01:47,900 --> 01:01:49,360
like returning bees.
1162
01:01:50,190 --> 01:01:52,310
Yet they must fly so high.
1163
01:01:52,530 --> 01:01:54,140
Come nearer then.
Stand you on the bench.
1164
01:01:54,170 --> 01:01:55,000
No.
1165
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:56,190
Then I'll come down.
1166
01:01:56,230 --> 01:01:57,110
NO!
1167
01:01:57,570 --> 01:01:59,380
And why so great a no?
1168
01:02:00,490 --> 01:02:02,920
Let me enjoy the one
moment I ever...
1169
01:02:03,710 --> 01:02:07,110
My one chance
to speak to you...unseen.
1170
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:08,290
Unseen?
1171
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:09,740
Yes. Yes.
1172
01:02:10,070 --> 01:02:12,380
Night making all things
dimly beautiful
1173
01:02:12,410 --> 01:02:13,770
one veil over us both.
1174
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,040
You need no eyes
to hear my heart.
1175
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:20,410
Oh, tonight, let it seem as if
I speak for the first time.
1176
01:02:21,150 --> 01:02:22,110
For the first time?
1177
01:02:22,140 --> 01:02:23,000
Yes.
1178
01:02:23,940 --> 01:02:25,780
Your voice, even,
is not the same.
1179
01:02:25,810 --> 01:02:26,990
How should it be.
1180
01:02:27,030 --> 01:02:28,450
I have another
voice tonight.
1181
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:31,250
My own, myself,... daring!
1182
01:02:31,610 --> 01:02:32,610
Why daring?
1183
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,600
Because, what am I, what is any man
would he dare ask for you?
1184
01:02:36,630 --> 01:02:40,780
Therefore my heart has hidden behind
poetic words and tinsel phrases.
1185
01:02:41,260 --> 01:02:43,640
But are they not sweet,
those pretty phrases?
1186
01:02:43,670 --> 01:02:45,630
Not enough sweet
for you and me tonight.
1187
01:02:47,530 --> 01:02:49,240
You never spoke
to me like this.
1188
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,510
I tell you, there comes
one moment, once,
1189
01:02:51,540 --> 01:02:53,800
and heaven help those
who pass that moment by,
1190
01:02:53,830 --> 01:02:56,110
when beauty stands
looking into the soul
1191
01:02:56,150 --> 01:03:01,810
with grave, sweet eyes,
that sicken at pretty words.
1192
01:03:02,650 --> 01:03:06,260
Yes...that is love.
1193
01:03:06,290 --> 01:03:07,010
Love.
1194
01:03:07,050 --> 01:03:09,260
A love beyond breath,
beyond reason,
1195
01:03:09,290 --> 01:03:11,590
beyond love's own
power of loving.
1196
01:03:11,630 --> 01:03:14,200
Your name is like a golden bell
hung in my heart,
1197
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:18,450
and when I think of you I tremble,
and the bell swings and rings,
1198
01:03:18,610 --> 01:03:28,580
Roxane! Roxane!
Along my veins...Roxane.
1199
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,970
Yes...that is love.
1200
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,770
(Cyrano)
Yes...that is love.
1201
01:03:36,090 --> 01:03:38,920
That wind of terrible
and jealous beauty,
1202
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:44,200
that dark fire,
that soaring, blinding music.
1203
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,690
Yet, you may take my happiness
to make you happier
1204
01:03:47,730 --> 01:03:49,410
even though you
never know I gave it to you.
1205
01:03:49,940 --> 01:03:55,700
Only let me hear, sometimes, all alone,
the distant laughter of your joy.
1206
01:03:56,740 --> 01:03:58,470
Do you begin
to understand a little?
1207
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,200
Can you feel my soul there
in the darkness breathe on you?
1208
01:04:03,230 --> 01:04:06,630
Oh, only tonight,
now I dare say these things.
1209
01:04:06,790 --> 01:04:09,400
I to you, and you hear them.
1210
01:04:10,030 --> 01:04:12,650
It is my voice, mine, my own
that makes you tremble
1211
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,390
there in the green gloom,
above me, for you do tremble
1212
01:04:15,430 --> 01:04:18,110
as a blossom among the leaves,
you tremble, and I can feel
1213
01:04:18,140 --> 01:04:19,670
all the way down along
this jasmine branch
1214
01:04:19,710 --> 01:04:23,700
whether you will unhold
the passion of you trembling.
1215
01:04:24,340 --> 01:04:25,960
Yes, I do tremble.
1216
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,880
And I weep, and I love you,
and I am yours,
1217
01:04:29,910 --> 01:04:31,720
and you have made me thus.
1218
01:04:36,710 --> 01:04:38,250
I have done this to you.
1219
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,380
I myself.
1220
01:04:44,970 --> 01:04:47,240
Only let me ask
one thing more.
1221
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:48,900
I want a kiss!
1222
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:52,080
You ask me for...
1223
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:53,060
I...yes.
1224
01:04:53,100 --> 01:04:54,260
That is to say...
1225
01:04:54,780 --> 01:04:55,770
I mean...
1226
01:04:56,140 --> 01:04:57,450
You've gone too far.
1227
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,370
If she's willing, why
not make the most of it?
1228
01:04:59,410 --> 01:05:04,270
I, I ask.
I know I ask too much.
1229
01:05:05,150 --> 01:05:06,420
Only one?
1230
01:05:07,550 --> 01:05:08,630
Is that all?
1231
01:05:09,150 --> 01:05:12,210
All?
How much more than all?
1232
01:05:12,250 --> 01:05:16,030
I know I startle you,
I...I ask, I ask you to refuse.
1233
01:05:16,070 --> 01:05:17,200
Why? Why? Why?
1234
01:05:17,230 --> 01:05:18,350
Christian, be quiet.
1235
01:05:18,390 --> 01:05:19,430
What is that your say?
1236
01:05:19,470 --> 01:05:21,810
I am angry with myself,
because I know I go too far
1237
01:05:21,850 --> 01:05:26,270
and so I say to myself,
CHRISTIAN, BE QUIET!
1238
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:28,300
Watch it, someone comes.
1239
01:05:36,390 --> 01:05:39,180
Well, sir, I am looking
for the house of madame Roxane Robin.
1240
01:05:39,220 --> 01:05:43,450
This is not the house. That way.
To the right. Keep to the right.
1241
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:44,330
I thank you sir.
1242
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,880
I shall say my beads for you
to the very last bead.
1243
01:05:49,340 --> 01:05:50,680
Win me that kiss?
1244
01:05:51,370 --> 01:05:52,070
No!
1245
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:53,780
Sooner or later.
1246
01:05:59,170 --> 01:06:00,510
So that is true.
1247
01:06:01,460 --> 01:06:07,540
Sooner or later must be so, because,
she is young, and you are handsome.
1248
01:06:09,170 --> 01:06:15,240
Since it must be, I'd rather be
myself the cause, if it must be.
1249
01:06:16,990 --> 01:06:19,620
(balcony window opens)
1250
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:24,660
Are you still there?
1251
01:06:24,690 --> 01:06:25,470
(Cyrano)
Yes.
1252
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:28,740
We were speaking of...
1253
01:06:30,090 --> 01:06:32,450
A kiss.
- A kiss.
1254
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,340
And what is a kiss
when all is done?
1255
01:06:34,930 --> 01:06:37,080
A vow taken before
the shrine of memory.
1256
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,650
A rosy dot
over the "i" of loving.
1257
01:06:39,790 --> 01:06:42,950
- A secret whisper
to listen if the past.
1258
01:06:42,980 --> 01:06:43,650
Shhh.
1259
01:06:43,690 --> 01:06:46,720
A moment free to mortal
with a rush of wing from Ceden.
1260
01:06:46,750 --> 01:06:48,220
A sacrament of blossoms.
1261
01:06:48,260 --> 01:06:53,250
A new song sung by two hearts
to an old, simple tune.
1262
01:06:53,290 --> 01:06:54,430
Hush.
1263
01:06:54,460 --> 01:06:56,050
Why? What shame?
1264
01:06:58,010 --> 01:07:01,310
No.
No shame.
1265
01:07:01,610 --> 01:07:02,770
Then come.
1266
01:07:03,550 --> 01:07:05,680
Gather your sacred blossoms.
1267
01:07:07,250 --> 01:07:09,230
Your moment made immortal.
1268
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:09,860
Climb!
1269
01:07:10,660 --> 01:07:12,300
- But, climb?
- Many more!
1270
01:07:22,410 --> 01:07:23,760
Roxane.
1271
01:07:33,870 --> 01:07:34,690
(sigh)
1272
01:07:36,090 --> 01:07:39,770
Ah, Roxane.
I have won what I have wanted.
1273
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:45,410
A feast of love,
and I am faint with hunger.
1274
01:07:48,110 --> 01:07:51,040
Yet, I have something here
that is mine now,...
1275
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,380
and was not mine before.
1276
01:07:54,220 --> 01:07:56,790
I spoke the words
that won her.
1277
01:07:57,890 --> 01:08:05,890
She kisses my words.
My words...upon his lips.
1278
01:08:07,230 --> 01:08:08,650
(gate opens)
1279
01:08:13,250 --> 01:08:14,670
What, dear Father,
lost your way again?
1280
01:08:14,710 --> 01:08:16,270
But, she lives here,
Madame Robin.
1281
01:08:16,300 --> 01:08:17,830
Oh, I thought
you said, Rolen?
1282
01:08:17,860 --> 01:08:19,850
No, r..o..b..i..n, Robin.
1283
01:08:19,890 --> 01:08:21,030
Oh, Robin, I see.
1284
01:08:21,070 --> 01:08:23,090
I'm too old
to chase wild geese
1285
01:08:23,130 --> 01:08:25,080
- my feet...
- Oh, what a shame,
1286
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,920
(knocking on door)
however, I'm sure there's someone at home.
1287
01:08:29,330 --> 01:08:30,120
(door opens)
1288
01:08:30,150 --> 01:08:30,860
What is it?
1289
01:08:30,890 --> 01:08:34,570
Yeah, I'm looking for
the young lady, Madam Rolen
1290
01:08:34,610 --> 01:08:35,840
Rolen?
1291
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:37,080
Robin!
1292
01:08:37,950 --> 01:08:40,050
Madame!
A letter for you.
1293
01:08:40,590 --> 01:08:42,070
Yes, yes, I heard.
1294
01:08:42,970 --> 01:08:43,650
Cyrano.
1295
01:08:43,690 --> 01:08:46,080
Uh, passing by cousin,
I saw this light.
1296
01:08:46,700 --> 01:08:50,330
Uh, some matter
profitable to the soul.
1297
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:52,550
A very noble lord gave it to me.
1298
01:08:52,750 --> 01:08:53,640
(Christian)
What is it?
1299
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,100
<i>My regiment has been
ordered to the front. </i>
1300
01:08:57,130 --> 01:08:59,490
<i>I cannot allow you
to delay any longer.</i>
1301
01:08:59,530 --> 01:09:01,820
<i>This simple old monk,
who knows nothing,</i>
1302
01:09:01,850 --> 01:09:04,190
<i>will marry us tonight.
My love, Antoine de Guiche.</i>
1303
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,110
(Roxane changes everything)
1304
01:09:07,150 --> 01:09:08,880
Father, this letter
concerns you.
1305
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,930
"Madame, the Cardinal
will have his way,
1306
01:09:13,970 --> 01:09:15,530
"although against your will.
1307
01:09:15,710 --> 01:09:18,150
"That is why I am
sending this to you,
1308
01:09:18,180 --> 01:09:20,470
"by a most holy man.
1309
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,160
"Intelligent, discreet.
1310
01:09:23,580 --> 01:09:26,660
"You will communicate
to him our order to perform
1311
01:09:26,900 --> 01:09:31,160
"here and at once
the rite of holy matrimony.
1312
01:09:32,570 --> 01:09:35,910
"You and Christian will be
married privately in your house.
1313
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,760
"Be resigned to the
Cardinal's command,
1314
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:41,930
"who sends herewith
his blessings.
1315
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,060
"Your very humble,
and etcetera..."
1316
01:09:44,940 --> 01:09:46,750
Oh, this is terrible.
1317
01:09:48,220 --> 01:09:49,850
Oh, you're to be
the, uh...
1318
01:09:49,890 --> 01:09:51,490
I am to be the bridegroom.
1319
01:09:53,950 --> 01:09:56,230
Uh, look here.
A postscript.
1320
01:09:56,780 --> 01:10:02,320
"Give to the monastery,
in my name 120 pieces of gold."
1321
01:10:02,350 --> 01:10:04,070
One hundred and twenty...
1322
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,530
Oh, a worthy lord.
A very worthy lord.
1323
01:10:09,470 --> 01:10:12,030
Daughter, resign yourself.
1324
01:10:12,070 --> 01:10:14,080
I am resigned.
1325
01:10:22,350 --> 01:10:24,500
The Guiche is coming, too.
Don't let him enter.
1326
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:25,730
Not let him enter?
1327
01:10:25,770 --> 01:10:27,790
Until we're married, please.
1328
01:10:28,610 --> 01:10:30,340
(door slams shut)
1329
01:10:44,330 --> 01:10:45,250
(Count)
What is that?
1330
01:10:45,340 --> 01:10:46,330
(Cyrano)
Me?
1331
01:10:46,370 --> 01:10:48,360
- Why, where did you come from?
- The moon.
1332
01:10:48,390 --> 01:10:49,330
- You...
- From the moon.
1333
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:50,690
I have just returned
from the moon.
1334
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:52,420
- The fellow's mad!
-Like a bomb, I tell you,
1335
01:10:52,460 --> 01:10:54,130
- I fell from the moon!
- Your feet must...
1336
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:55,450
- I say THE MOON!
1337
01:10:55,480 --> 01:10:57,580
- Very well, if you say so.
- Thank you.
1338
01:10:57,610 --> 01:10:58,610
- Raving mad.
1339
01:11:00,660 --> 01:11:02,850
- Where am I?
- My dear sir!
1340
01:11:02,890 --> 01:11:04,080
- What place is this?
What country?
1341
01:11:04,110 --> 01:11:06,170
- Please, let me pass.
- This face, good heavens!
1342
01:11:06,210 --> 01:11:08,710
Maul, a robber.
Where am I?
1343
01:11:08,750 --> 01:11:12,830
- A lady is waiting for me.
- Oh, this is Paris, huh?
1344
01:11:12,870 --> 01:11:13,620
You fool!
1345
01:11:13,650 --> 01:11:14,800
Dear old Paris.
1346
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,750
Excuse my appearance.
I arrived by the last thunderbolt.
1347
01:11:17,790 --> 01:11:19,970
A trifled singed
as I passed through the ether.
1348
01:11:20,470 --> 01:11:21,320
Monsieur!
1349
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:22,080
Sir?
1350
01:11:22,130 --> 01:11:23,750
That will do, now. I wish...
1351
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,600
I know, you wish to look for
my own list of nature for moons
1352
01:11:25,630 --> 01:11:27,820
and happiness and character
of it's surface, if any.
1353
01:11:27,850 --> 01:11:29,060
I desire no such thing, I...
1354
01:11:29,100 --> 01:11:30,060
Of course not.
1355
01:11:32,940 --> 01:11:34,330
You wish to know
by what mysterious
1356
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:35,570
means I reached the moon.
1357
01:11:35,610 --> 01:11:37,870
Well, a very secret affair of state,
1358
01:11:37,900 --> 01:11:41,770
but confidentially
a new invention of my own.
1359
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:43,190
Drunk, two ways.
Well a man..
1360
01:11:43,230 --> 01:11:46,050
Oh, no. In truth I have
my choice of several inventions.
1361
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:46,600
Uh?
1362
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:50,850
Yes, several ways
to violate the virgin sky.
1363
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:52,210
Several?
1364
01:11:52,250 --> 01:11:53,510
Several.
1365
01:11:53,540 --> 01:11:57,520
As, for instance, smoke
having a natural tendency to rise,
1366
01:11:57,550 --> 01:12:02,050
blow in a globe
enough to raise me.
1367
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:03,300
Yes, that makes one.
1368
01:12:03,330 --> 01:12:06,780
Again, I might construct a rocket
in the shape of a HUGE locust
1369
01:12:06,820 --> 01:12:10,810
driven by impulses up within
a saltpeter from the rear
1370
01:12:10,850 --> 01:12:14,050
and thus speed upwards,
like, thus!
1371
01:12:14,260 --> 01:12:15,260
Yes, another?
1372
01:12:15,290 --> 01:12:18,950
Finally, seated on an iron plate,
hurl a magnet into the air.
1373
01:12:18,980 --> 01:12:21,810
The iron follows.
I catch the magnet.
1374
01:12:21,850 --> 01:12:25,330
Throw it again, and
so proceed indefinitely.
1375
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,460
Excellent, and
which did you adopt?
1376
01:12:31,450 --> 01:12:32,370
Why none of them.
1377
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:34,350
Yet another.
1378
01:12:34,390 --> 01:12:35,740
Which was...?
1379
01:12:46,810 --> 01:12:47,500
Guess.
1380
01:12:47,860 --> 01:12:49,370
Ahhh, I can't!
1381
01:12:50,090 --> 01:12:51,100
Try.
1382
01:12:52,340 --> 01:12:53,980
Interesting idiot, this.
1383
01:13:05,350 --> 01:13:06,540
Have you guessed it yet?
1384
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:07,960
Why, no, what is it?
1385
01:13:13,780 --> 01:13:15,870
Alas, you will never know,
but no matter.
1386
01:13:15,910 --> 01:13:18,470
You are free and
they are bound in wedlock.
1387
01:13:18,510 --> 01:13:21,010
I drunk that voice,
and that nose, Cyrano!
1388
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:23,710
Cyrano. This very moment
they have exchanged vows.
1389
01:13:23,750 --> 01:13:24,460
Who?
1390
01:13:29,820 --> 01:13:31,530
My sincere compliments.
1391
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,900
You, also, my traveler in space.
1392
01:13:34,940 --> 01:13:37,800
My Lord, the heads of Capathieu
and Joyce have joined together.
1393
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:38,750
Quite so!
1394
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:44,160
Madame, kindly bid
your... husband farewell.
1395
01:13:44,190 --> 01:13:46,670
Your regiment leaves tonight, sir.
Report at once!
1396
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:49,320
But, the Cadets are not called.
1397
01:13:49,350 --> 01:13:51,850
They are, indeed, and
under my command.
1398
01:13:52,710 --> 01:13:55,080
Out there we may
have an accounting.
1399
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:58,130
Somehow, that news
fails to disquiet me.
1400
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,190
Here are the orders.
Baron, deliver this.
1401
01:14:02,500 --> 01:14:03,650
Christian!
1402
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,660
The bridal night
is not so near.
1403
01:14:10,090 --> 01:14:13,400
Somehow that news
fails to disquiet me.
1404
01:14:17,710 --> 01:14:19,340
Baron, you have your orders.
1405
01:14:36,270 --> 01:14:37,530
Farewell, Roxane.
1406
01:14:38,290 --> 01:14:40,490
Take care of him, for me.
Promise me never to let him
1407
01:14:40,530 --> 01:14:41,400
do anything dangerous.
1408
01:14:41,430 --> 01:14:42,890
I will do my best.
I cannot promise.
1409
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:44,970
I thought you brave always.
Make him be careful.
1410
01:14:45,010 --> 01:14:46,070
Yes, yes, I'll try.
1411
01:14:46,110 --> 01:14:47,840
Be sure to keep him
warm and dry!
1412
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:49,150
Yes, if possible.
1413
01:14:49,190 --> 01:14:51,820
Have him write to me
every single day!
1414
01:14:51,860 --> 01:14:54,090
That, I promise you.
1415
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,970
(the war with Spain)
1416
01:15:40,820 --> 01:15:41,540
Halt!
1417
01:16:03,370 --> 01:16:03,920
Uh!
1418
01:16:13,930 --> 01:16:18,590
(Madame Baroness de Neuvillette,
Rue Marais No. 12, Paris)
1419
01:16:46,610 --> 01:16:48,170
The situation
is simple, gentlemen.
1420
01:16:48,420 --> 01:16:53,340
We have besieged Arras.
The Prince of Spain has besieged us.
1421
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,960
Consequently, we
are surrounded.
1422
01:16:56,050 --> 01:16:58,920
- A fine war. Where
the besiegers are besieged
1423
01:16:58,950 --> 01:17:00,020
and starve to death.
1424
01:17:00,060 --> 01:17:01,990
Yes, but the Marshal has
devised a brilliant plan
1425
01:17:02,030 --> 01:17:03,480
for bringing in food
this very night.
1426
01:17:03,510 --> 01:17:04,460
Now, see here.
1427
01:17:04,500 --> 01:17:06,240
Spare us the details, Colonel.
1428
01:17:06,270 --> 01:17:08,820
Merely inform us
when the food arrives.
1429
01:17:08,860 --> 01:17:11,380
True, we are hungry.
But why blame me?
1430
01:17:11,700 --> 01:17:13,320
I'm only your Colonel.
1431
01:17:14,700 --> 01:17:16,910
Oh, yes, I know
you disprove of me.
1432
01:17:17,020 --> 01:17:18,940
Call me courtier, politician.
1433
01:17:19,430 --> 01:17:22,080
Well, I can afford you little hates.
1434
01:17:22,110 --> 01:17:24,730
My conduct under fire
is well known.
1435
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,170
It was only yesterday
I repelled a Spanish attack.
1436
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,070
Pouring my men down
like an avalanche.
1437
01:17:29,250 --> 01:17:30,710
I, myself lead the charge.
1438
01:17:30,900 --> 01:17:33,330
- And your white scarf?
(through a cannon barrel)
1439
01:17:33,370 --> 01:17:34,130
Cyrano!
1440
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:39,140
And your white scarf?
1441
01:17:39,150 --> 01:17:40,480
Eh, you heard that episode?
1442
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:44,110
Yes, I was so far in advance
I was in danger of being captured.
1443
01:17:44,180 --> 01:17:46,570
But I thought quickly,
took off and flung away
1444
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,290
the scarf that marked
my military rank.
1445
01:17:48,420 --> 01:17:51,150
And so being inconspicuous
escaped among my own force,
1446
01:17:51,410 --> 01:17:54,250
rallied them, returned,
and won the day.
1447
01:17:54,290 --> 01:17:55,500
What do you say to that?
1448
01:17:55,540 --> 01:17:58,550
Still, enough that is not likely
to resign the privilege of being a target.
1449
01:17:58,580 --> 01:18:01,690
How pleasant for you
that you are denied that privilege.
1450
01:18:01,730 --> 01:18:03,650
Pleasant?
Lend me your scarf.
1451
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:05,570
With your permission I shall
lead the first charge tonight
1452
01:18:05,610 --> 01:18:06,890
wearing it over my shoulder.
1453
01:18:06,930 --> 01:18:07,720
What bluster.
1454
01:18:07,750 --> 01:18:09,630
You're safe making that offer,
and you know it.
1455
01:18:09,670 --> 01:18:12,620
My scarf lies on the
river bank between the lines.
1456
01:18:12,650 --> 01:18:15,560
A spot swept by artillery.
Impossible to reach alive.
1457
01:18:15,700 --> 01:18:16,700
Yes.
1458
01:18:16,730 --> 01:18:20,500
(displays the Colonel's scarf)
1459
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:22,410
Here.
1460
01:18:22,580 --> 01:18:24,590
(laughter)
1461
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:26,500
Thank you.
1462
01:18:28,180 --> 01:18:31,000
This bit of white is
what I need to make a signal.
1463
01:18:31,820 --> 01:18:33,360
I was hesitating.
1464
01:18:33,940 --> 01:18:35,720
You have decided me.
1465
01:18:41,370 --> 01:18:43,010
- Stand or I'll fire!
- Hold you fire.
1466
01:18:43,050 --> 01:18:44,650
There's a man down
there running away.
1467
01:18:44,690 --> 01:18:46,700
Yes, a Spaniard.
1468
01:18:47,440 --> 01:18:50,310
But very useful as a spy
to both sides.
1469
01:18:51,270 --> 01:18:52,480
As I was about
to tell you.
1470
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,100
The Marshal has withdrawn
more than half our forces here.
1471
01:18:55,140 --> 01:18:57,190
Fortunately, the Spaniards
do not know that.
1472
01:18:57,230 --> 01:19:00,470
Oh, yes, they do now,
and they will attack tonight.
1473
01:19:00,510 --> 01:19:02,240
At this point.
1474
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:04,520
Your revenge, eh?
1475
01:19:04,550 --> 01:19:06,670
I make not great
pretense in loving you.
1476
01:19:06,770 --> 01:19:10,170
But since you gentlemen
esteem yourselves invincible,
1477
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,710
the bravest of the brave,
and all that.
1478
01:19:12,750 --> 01:19:14,120
Why need we be personal.
1479
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,710
The Marshal needs
a diversion, and I serve him
1480
01:19:16,740 --> 01:19:19,040
in choosing as I chose.
1481
01:19:19,210 --> 01:19:21,440
As you can see, Captain,
the great thing is to gain time.
1482
01:19:21,470 --> 01:19:23,070
To hold until the Marshal returns.
1483
01:19:23,180 --> 01:19:24,980
- And to gain time?
1484
01:19:25,490 --> 01:19:31,370
You will all be so kind
as to lay down your lives.
1485
01:19:39,610 --> 01:19:40,700
Christian?
1486
01:19:40,740 --> 01:19:41,400
Yes.
1487
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:46,130
Roxane?
1488
01:19:46,940 --> 01:19:49,260
I should like to say
farewell to her
1489
01:19:49,290 --> 01:19:51,580
with my whole
heart for her to keep.
1490
01:19:53,630 --> 01:19:55,610
I have taken the liberty of...
1491
01:19:58,580 --> 01:20:03,760
(the first letter
Christian is aware of)
1492
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:05,110
But, wait.
1493
01:20:07,270 --> 01:20:08,180
This little spot.
1494
01:20:08,620 --> 01:20:09,360
Spot?
1495
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:10,100
Yes.
1496
01:20:10,470 --> 01:20:11,550
A tear.
1497
01:20:13,500 --> 01:20:14,210
Is nothing.
1498
01:20:14,250 --> 01:20:16,860
A poet while he writes
is like a lover in his lady's arms,
1499
01:20:16,890 --> 01:20:19,060
believing his imagination,
everything seems real.
1500
01:20:19,090 --> 01:20:20,710
There's half the charm
of writing.
1501
01:20:21,230 --> 01:20:24,000
Now, I made this letter
so pathetic, that,
1502
01:20:24,030 --> 01:20:27,290
while I was writing it,
I wept.
1503
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:28,110
You wept?
1504
01:20:28,650 --> 01:20:31,590
Why, yes, because
it is a little thing to die,
1505
01:20:32,500 --> 01:20:36,710
but not to see her,...
that is terrible.
1506
01:20:37,700 --> 01:20:41,890
I shall never...,
you will never...
1507
01:20:42,480 --> 01:20:43,690
Give me that.
1508
01:20:45,190 --> 01:20:48,500
- Halt. Who goes there.
- On the service of the King.
1509
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:01,330
- The King!
- Fall in...
1510
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:11,620
Good evening.
1511
01:21:11,650 --> 01:21:13,540
On the King's service, you?
1512
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:25,850
- Gentlemen,...
- What are you doing here?
1513
01:21:25,890 --> 01:21:28,300
- We heard rumors at home
you were hungry,
1514
01:21:28,340 --> 01:21:29,810
- so we came prepared.
1515
01:21:29,850 --> 01:21:34,500
The Spaniards adored the fare,
but they missed the fowl!
1516
01:21:34,530 --> 01:21:37,560
(soldiers clamor for food)
1517
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:47,020
But why did you come here
into this, this danger?
1518
01:21:47,060 --> 01:21:49,420
They said in Paris
there was no fighting.
1519
01:21:50,450 --> 01:21:53,620
Besides, it was your own fault.
1520
01:22:01,410 --> 01:22:03,770
Think of the
letters you have written me.
1521
01:22:04,050 --> 01:22:06,510
How many times!
Every day!
1522
01:22:06,550 --> 01:22:07,680
Every day?
1523
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:08,820
Of course.
1524
01:22:08,980 --> 01:22:11,560
And each one
more wonderful than the last.
1525
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:14,820
All this, for a few absurd love letters.
1526
01:22:14,860 --> 01:22:18,050
Hush. Absurd?
Your letters...no, never.
1527
01:22:19,030 --> 01:22:22,730
Every one was like hearing your voice
that night in the dark. Remember?
1528
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:26,590
Like your arms around me.
I read them over and over.
1529
01:22:26,630 --> 01:22:30,420
Every page was like
a petal fallen from you soul.
1530
01:22:30,460 --> 01:22:33,350
Like the light
and the fire of a great love.
1531
01:22:33,390 --> 01:22:36,020
- Sweet and strong and true.
- Sweet.
1532
01:22:36,180 --> 01:22:37,280
Strong.
1533
01:22:37,590 --> 01:22:38,490
True?
1534
01:22:41,570 --> 01:22:43,090
Oh, my Christian.
1535
01:22:43,690 --> 01:22:46,420
I came here to ask forgiveness.
1536
01:22:47,660 --> 01:22:49,380
It is time to be forgiven.
1537
01:22:49,860 --> 01:22:51,950
Now, when we
may die so soon.
1538
01:22:53,780 --> 01:22:55,380
Forgive me for being
light and vain
1539
01:22:55,410 --> 01:22:57,570
and loving you only
because you were handsome.
1540
01:22:57,600 --> 01:22:59,230
- For now...
- Now?
1541
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:01,940
I love you for yourself.
1542
01:23:02,350 --> 01:23:04,090
For what you are.
1543
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:05,340
Roxane.
1544
01:23:05,910 --> 01:23:09,000
How you must have suffered.
For you saw how frivolous I was.
1545
01:23:09,030 --> 01:23:11,300
And to be loved
for the mere costume,
1546
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,090
for the poor, casual
body you went about in.
1547
01:23:14,750 --> 01:23:17,620
To a soul like yours,
that must have been torture.
1548
01:23:17,650 --> 01:23:18,390
No.
1549
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:23,140
I understand.
1550
01:23:23,790 --> 01:23:25,930
You cannot perfectly
believe in me,
1551
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:27,530
a...a love like this...
1552
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:29,090
I want no love like this.
1553
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,020
I want love only for...
1554
01:23:31,050 --> 01:23:33,090
Only for what every
woman sees in you.
1555
01:23:33,700 --> 01:23:35,030
I can to better than that.
1556
01:23:35,060 --> 01:23:37,240
No, it...it was best before.
1557
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,090
You do not
altogether know me.
1558
01:23:40,540 --> 01:23:42,260
I was a child.
1559
01:23:42,350 --> 01:23:43,650
I'm a woman now.
1560
01:23:44,250 --> 01:23:46,720
- If...if you were less handsome,
- No.
1561
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:50,130
unattractive, ugly even,
I should love you, still.
1562
01:23:50,770 --> 01:23:51,900
Do you mean that?
1563
01:23:52,510 --> 01:23:53,750
I do mean that.
1564
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:55,020
Ugly?
1565
01:23:55,100 --> 01:23:56,200
Even then.
1566
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:58,050
Now, are you happy?
1567
01:24:03,470 --> 01:24:04,650
Yes.
1568
01:24:04,690 --> 01:24:05,500
What is it?
1569
01:24:06,190 --> 01:24:08,690
Nothing, only, Cyrano...
1570
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:10,830
Cyrano.
1571
01:24:12,050 --> 01:24:14,090
he has something
to tell you.
1572
01:24:16,180 --> 01:24:17,200
Where are you going?
1573
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:20,690
I...will...return...in a moment.
1574
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:30,050
Cyrano.
1575
01:24:30,650 --> 01:24:32,480
Your wife, sir,
she goes with me?
1576
01:24:32,510 --> 01:24:33,340
No, sir, she remains.
1577
01:24:33,380 --> 01:24:34,670
There is still time
for her to escape.
1578
01:24:34,710 --> 01:24:35,640
She stays!
1579
01:24:36,030 --> 01:24:36,790
Very well.
1580
01:24:36,820 --> 01:24:38,950
Someone give me a musket.
I stay here also.
1581
01:24:39,420 --> 01:24:40,640
Sir, you show courage.
1582
01:24:40,670 --> 01:24:42,890
What, shall I run away,
and leave a woman?
1583
01:24:43,450 --> 01:24:45,320
Colonel, my compliments, sir.
1584
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:47,810
What of Roxane?
1585
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:48,470
Wait.
1586
01:24:49,350 --> 01:24:50,860
Well, what is it?
You look so...
1587
01:24:52,830 --> 01:24:54,580
She does not love me.
1588
01:24:54,990 --> 01:24:57,310
- You think not?
- She loves you.
1589
01:24:57,340 --> 01:24:59,630
- No.
- She loves only my soul.
1590
01:24:59,660 --> 01:25:00,370
- No.
- Yes!
1591
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:03,140
That means you.
And you love her.
1592
01:25:03,170 --> 01:25:05,300
- I?
- I see. I know.
1593
01:25:05,340 --> 01:25:08,310
You wrote her,
everyday, every day!
1594
01:25:08,820 --> 01:25:10,030
- Perfectly simple.
- Simple?
1595
01:25:10,060 --> 01:25:11,700
For a month,
we've been blockaded here.
1596
01:25:11,740 --> 01:25:13,340
How did you send
all those letters?
1597
01:25:13,370 --> 01:25:14,500
Before daylight
I managed...
1598
01:25:14,530 --> 01:25:16,070
To face death
everyday.
1599
01:25:16,820 --> 01:25:17,950
You love her.
1600
01:25:19,020 --> 01:25:20,190
Yes.
1601
01:25:26,950 --> 01:25:27,890
Tell her so.
1602
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:29,250
- No.
- Why not?
1603
01:25:29,350 --> 01:25:32,290
Why?
Look at me.
1604
01:25:32,590 --> 01:25:35,420
She would love me
if I were ugly.
1605
01:25:35,990 --> 01:25:38,820
- She said that?
- Yes. Now, go to her.
1606
01:25:40,090 --> 01:25:42,410
Nonsense. Do not
believe any such madness.
1607
01:25:42,440 --> 01:25:44,730
Go back to her.
You never will be ugly.
1608
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:45,810
Go!
It is you she loves.
1609
01:25:45,850 --> 01:25:46,870
That is what
we shall see.
1610
01:25:46,900 --> 01:25:47,840
No, no!
1611
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:49,480
- Let her chose between us.
- No.
1612
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:51,510
- Tell her everything.
- Why do you torture me?
1613
01:25:51,550 --> 01:25:54,700
Shall I ruin your happiness,
because I was born with a pretty face?
1614
01:25:54,740 --> 01:25:57,210
Am I to ruin yours,
because I happen to have power
1615
01:25:57,250 --> 01:25:58,750
to say what you perhaps feel?
1616
01:25:58,780 --> 01:26:00,910
- Tell her!
- Don't drive me too far!
1617
01:26:00,950 --> 01:26:03,210
- I'm tired of being my own rival.
- Hard to know.
1618
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:05,470
My secret marriage, that
can be annulled, I expect.
1619
01:26:05,500 --> 01:26:07,790
I want her love
for the poor fool than I am,
1620
01:26:07,860 --> 01:26:09,020
or not at all.
1621
01:26:09,390 --> 01:26:12,090
Oh, I'm going through with this.
I'll know one way or the other.
1622
01:26:12,870 --> 01:26:15,280
Now, go!....Tell her.
1623
01:26:15,480 --> 01:26:16,790
Let her chose one of us.
1624
01:26:17,570 --> 01:26:18,780
It will be you.
1625
01:26:19,670 --> 01:26:21,330
I hope so.
1626
01:26:33,070 --> 01:26:33,820
- Captain!
1627
01:26:36,570 --> 01:26:38,100
The Spanish fires are going out.
1628
01:26:41,030 --> 01:26:42,160
It begins.
1629
01:26:42,220 --> 01:26:44,140
I need a scout. Where's Cyrano.
1630
01:26:44,490 --> 01:26:45,280
Captain.
1631
01:26:45,850 --> 01:26:46,740
Let me go.
1632
01:26:46,780 --> 01:26:49,490
No, my boy, Cyrano knows
the terrain. He knows their lines.
1633
01:26:49,530 --> 01:26:51,550
So do I.
Please, allow me.
1634
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:56,070
Very well.
We must know from which
1635
01:26:56,110 --> 01:26:58,810
direction the advance comes.
Their weight and numbers.
1636
01:26:58,840 --> 01:26:59,560
I understand.
1637
01:27:11,940 --> 01:27:12,780
Roxane.
1638
01:27:13,430 --> 01:27:14,450
Cyrano.
1639
01:27:14,480 --> 01:27:15,930
Christian thinks...
1640
01:27:17,470 --> 01:27:19,190
Christian thinks you
ought to know that...
1641
01:27:19,220 --> 01:27:20,240
But I do know.
1642
01:27:20,770 --> 01:27:22,850
He still doubts what I
just told him, just now.
1643
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:23,860
I saw that.
1644
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:27,560
Yes, but,...was it true,
what you told him just now?
1645
01:27:27,590 --> 01:27:28,900
It was true.
1646
01:27:28,990 --> 01:27:32,270
I said that I should love him,
even if he were....
1647
01:27:33,020 --> 01:27:34,580
The word comes
hard before me?
1648
01:27:37,420 --> 01:27:38,860
Say it, I shall
not be hurt.
1649
01:27:39,370 --> 01:27:40,620
Ugly?
1650
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:42,130
Even, then
I should love him.
1651
01:27:43,500 --> 01:27:44,690
Disfigured.
1652
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:45,870
Or disfigured.
1653
01:27:46,480 --> 01:27:49,620
Even....grotesque.
1654
01:27:49,650 --> 01:27:51,350
How could he
every be grotesque,
1655
01:27:51,810 --> 01:27:52,950
ever to me?
1656
01:27:52,990 --> 01:27:55,580
But, you could love him so,
as much as?
1657
01:27:55,610 --> 01:27:56,790
Yes, and more.
1658
01:27:57,320 --> 01:27:58,320
Roxane...
1659
01:27:58,350 --> 01:27:59,300
(gunshot)
1660
01:27:59,340 --> 01:28:00,260
What is it?
1661
01:28:01,550 --> 01:28:02,600
Are they fighting?
1662
01:28:05,250 --> 01:28:06,510
What is happening?
1663
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:08,010
- The Spaniards advance,
1664
01:28:08,940 --> 01:28:09,930
but there is time.
1665
01:28:10,480 --> 01:28:12,370
- Where is Christian?
- At the parapet.
1666
01:28:12,820 --> 01:28:13,890
Oh, of course.
1667
01:28:14,930 --> 01:28:16,750
What is it
that you wish to tell me?
1668
01:28:16,780 --> 01:28:18,140
Roxane,...
1669
01:28:18,810 --> 01:28:21,690
believe me this is difficult,
and for once I lack words.
1670
01:28:24,690 --> 01:28:26,330
Christian asked me to...
1671
01:28:26,440 --> 01:28:27,850
He told me...
1672
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:38,220
Christian!
1673
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:42,970
To your places, gentlemen.
1674
01:28:43,970 --> 01:28:45,130
Is he dead?
1675
01:28:45,170 --> 01:28:46,260
No, but dying.
1676
01:28:46,300 --> 01:28:47,660
I will not let him!
1677
01:28:51,870 --> 01:28:54,530
Cyrano...did you?
1678
01:28:54,570 --> 01:28:56,610
Yes, my friend.
I have told her.
1679
01:28:58,350 --> 01:28:59,450
She loves you.
1680
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:02,190
Roxane.
1681
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:03,570
Yes, my darling.
1682
01:29:06,020 --> 01:29:07,320
Christian!
1683
01:29:08,170 --> 01:29:09,370
He is not dead?
1684
01:29:10,930 --> 01:29:11,830
Yes.
1685
01:29:12,310 --> 01:29:13,640
(gasp)
1686
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:22,890
Time you must go, now.
1687
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:25,860
Really, he is dead.
1688
01:29:25,890 --> 01:29:27,740
No one else
knew him but you.
1689
01:29:28,250 --> 01:29:29,630
Was he not a hero?
1690
01:29:29,670 --> 01:29:30,700
Yes, Roxane.
1691
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:33,340
A heart deeper
than we knew.
1692
01:29:33,380 --> 01:29:34,930
Yes, Roxane.
1693
01:29:35,010 --> 01:29:39,310
A poet.
A soul magnificently tender.
1694
01:29:41,750 --> 01:29:43,660
Yes, Roxane.
1695
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:46,740
But he is dead now.
1696
01:29:48,390 --> 01:29:50,030
(collapses sobbing)
1697
01:29:50,070 --> 01:29:51,230
Why, so am I.
1698
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:55,060
For I am dead
and my love mourns for me
1699
01:29:55,100 --> 01:29:56,550
and does not know.
1700
01:29:58,190 --> 01:29:59,530
Will never know.
1701
01:29:59,570 --> 01:30:00,990
(rapid gunfire)
1702
01:30:01,030 --> 01:30:02,410
(bugle calls)
1703
01:30:03,030 --> 01:30:04,030
Take her away quickly.
1704
01:30:05,670 --> 01:30:06,500
Wait.
1705
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:09,220
A letter over his heart.
1706
01:30:11,490 --> 01:30:12,850
(sobbing)
1707
01:30:16,740 --> 01:30:18,460
I have two deaths
to avenge, now,
1708
01:30:19,090 --> 01:30:22,670
Christian's...and my own.
1709
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:42,210
(fighting becomes intense)
1710
01:30:43,330 --> 01:30:46,820
(the Spanish army advances)
1711
01:30:49,450 --> 01:30:50,280
Fire!
1712
01:31:00,270 --> 01:31:02,810
Surrender or you die!
1713
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:51,720
(de Guiche)
Look! The signal!
1714
01:32:59,940 --> 01:33:00,940
Ah!
1715
01:33:07,070 --> 01:33:09,610
We fought. We died.
We fought again.
1716
01:33:09,750 --> 01:33:12,760
Who are these men who are
so fond of death, one Spaniard cried.
1717
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:14,440
On and on, they came.
1718
01:33:14,570 --> 01:33:17,210
Then, when all seemed lost,
we heard the trumpets
1719
01:33:17,250 --> 01:33:19,850
of our returning troops.
The battle was ours!
1720
01:33:20,690 --> 01:33:24,050
Ah, you have been fortunate,
Ms. de Bergerac, you have lived!
1721
01:33:24,090 --> 01:33:28,870
While we, we waste our youth.
There is no war and not hope for any.
1722
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:30,880
No hope for any?
1723
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:34,220
My fellow, I just realize,
we are both fools.
1724
01:33:34,630 --> 01:33:37,550
But mine is the greater folly,
for I am an older fool.
1725
01:33:38,170 --> 01:33:42,320
What is more......
Everything I told you was a lie.
1726
01:33:47,550 --> 01:33:49,680
Another satire
for the Gazette?
1727
01:33:49,710 --> 01:33:50,410
Yes.
1728
01:33:50,820 --> 01:33:53,480
Another glove flung
in the face of power?
1729
01:33:53,650 --> 01:33:55,400
Oh, why do you
do it, Cyrano?
1730
01:33:55,430 --> 01:33:57,860
- Why do you attack...
- Stupidity?
1731
01:33:57,880 --> 01:34:01,180
Deceit? Corruption?
I'm too old to change.
1732
01:34:01,370 --> 01:34:03,980
I'm an old dog
with nothing left but his teeth.
1733
01:34:04,010 --> 01:34:06,580
Ah, but teeth can be pulled.
That can be painful.
1734
01:34:10,440 --> 01:34:14,580
That insolent wretch.
That scoundrel de Bergerac.
1735
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:17,180
This time he's gone too far.
I swear it.
1736
01:34:17,210 --> 01:34:18,790
He's signed his death warrant.
1737
01:34:19,950 --> 01:34:21,730
And who will deliver it?
1738
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:25,040
His sword is still very
powerful, my friend.
1739
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:27,230
There are may ways
a man can die.
1740
01:34:27,990 --> 01:34:29,550
Who knows?
1741
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:31,430
He may meet
with an accident.
1742
01:34:32,550 --> 01:34:33,570
Soon.
1743
01:34:35,100 --> 01:34:38,710
(church chimes)
1744
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:46,060
But, uh, tell me, Madame.
1745
01:34:46,180 --> 01:34:50,830
How long will you continue
to remain here, forever in mourning?
1746
01:34:51,670 --> 01:34:52,570
Forever.
1747
01:34:53,060 --> 01:34:55,080
Was Christian all that?
1748
01:34:55,770 --> 01:34:57,400
If you knew him
you would not ask.
1749
01:34:57,950 --> 01:35:00,150
His last letter
is still in my heart.
1750
01:35:00,820 --> 01:35:04,770
And, uh, Cyrano?
Do you see him often?
1751
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:09,240
Every week. My old friend
takes the place of my Gazette.
1752
01:35:09,620 --> 01:35:11,320
He brings me all the news.
1753
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:14,940
Every Saturday under
that tree out there.
1754
01:35:14,980 --> 01:35:17,070
I wait for him embroidering.
1755
01:35:17,430 --> 01:35:20,240
The hour strikes.
I need not turn to look.
1756
01:35:20,570 --> 01:35:24,070
At the last stroke,
I hear his cane tapping the walk.
1757
01:35:24,100 --> 01:35:26,430
His satires have made
him many enemies.
1758
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:29,740
But, they still fear
that sword of his.
1759
01:35:30,330 --> 01:35:32,130
No one dare touch him.
1760
01:35:32,510 --> 01:35:33,670
Hm, that may be so.
1761
01:35:35,620 --> 01:35:38,160
It is not violence
I fear for him,
1762
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:42,560
but solitude, poverty.
Old gray Decembers
1763
01:35:42,590 --> 01:35:45,350
stealing on wolf's feet
into his darkened room.
1764
01:35:46,010 --> 01:35:48,230
It seems to me he's
worn the same old coat
1765
01:35:48,260 --> 01:35:49,610
for many months, now.
1766
01:35:49,650 --> 01:35:51,740
Eh, that is nothing
strange in this world.
1767
01:35:51,780 --> 01:35:53,820
You need not pity
him overmuch.
1768
01:35:53,860 --> 01:35:56,930
He lives his life,
his own life his own way,
1769
01:35:56,970 --> 01:36:00,300
thought, word and deed free.
1770
01:36:00,450 --> 01:36:01,610
My Lord Duke.
1771
01:36:01,750 --> 01:36:05,860
Oh, yes, I know.
I have all. He has nothing.
1772
01:36:06,370 --> 01:36:12,170
Nevertheless, today,
I should be proud to shake his hand.
1773
01:36:12,350 --> 01:36:14,000
Ah, well, adieu.
1774
01:36:14,670 --> 01:36:16,300
Will I ever see you again?
1775
01:36:16,340 --> 01:36:17,970
Come whenever you like.
1776
01:36:18,010 --> 01:36:19,610
Then, you have forgiven me.
1777
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:21,680
I am here.
1778
01:36:22,950 --> 01:36:25,380
Do you know?
When a man wins
1779
01:36:25,420 --> 01:36:29,750
everything in this world,
when he succeeds too much,
1780
01:36:29,790 --> 01:36:34,190
he feels, somehow,
a thousand small displeasures
1781
01:36:34,230 --> 01:36:38,560
with himself, whose whole sum
is not quite remorse
1782
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:45,570
but rather a sort of vague
disgust, dry illusions, pained regrets.
1783
01:36:45,870 --> 01:36:48,730
Yes, now and then,
I envy your Cyrano.
1784
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:50,860
The sentiment
does you honor.
1785
01:36:50,890 --> 01:36:52,250
(chuckling)
1786
01:36:59,350 --> 01:37:04,280
Madame, I must tell you,
it is true that no one has yet
1787
01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:06,490
dared to attack
your friend Cyrano.
1788
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:11,380
Nevertheless, at the theater
last night, I heard some things.
1789
01:37:12,260 --> 01:37:13,720
Keep him at home all you can.
1790
01:37:14,090 --> 01:37:17,330
Tomorrow when you see him,
tell him to be careful.
1791
01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:19,130
I thank you.
1792
01:37:32,050 --> 01:37:33,140
(Cyrano)
Good night, Ragueneau.
1793
01:37:33,180 --> 01:37:35,120
(Ragueneau)
Cyrano, you not leaving?
1794
01:37:35,150 --> 01:37:37,030
You will not have
dinner here with me?
1795
01:37:37,060 --> 01:37:38,860
(Cyrano)
My regrets. I have a magnificent
1796
01:37:38,900 --> 01:37:42,450
roast waiting for me, a rare wine,
a gift from my publisher.
1797
01:37:42,490 --> 01:37:43,890
(Ragueneau)
Fine, to be sure.
1798
01:37:44,650 --> 01:37:47,490
Uh, have you seen
Moliere's new play?
1799
01:37:47,530 --> 01:37:48,160
No.
1800
01:37:48,340 --> 01:37:49,650
Heh, ah, well....
1801
01:37:49,690 --> 01:37:50,580
What is it?
1802
01:37:50,610 --> 01:37:51,460
Well, he...
1803
01:37:51,500 --> 01:37:52,250
Speak.
1804
01:37:52,290 --> 01:37:55,220
He stole a scene
from you, word for word.
1805
01:37:55,250 --> 01:37:57,140
You know, "What the devil
was he doing there?"
1806
01:37:57,170 --> 01:37:57,730
That one.
1807
01:37:57,770 --> 01:37:59,040
He stole it, bodily.
1808
01:37:59,070 --> 01:38:01,300
Well, he showed
good taste.
1809
01:38:01,340 --> 01:38:03,020
It, uh, played well?
1810
01:38:03,060 --> 01:38:05,450
Oh, beautifully. They
laughed and laughed.
1811
01:38:05,480 --> 01:38:06,810
Oh, how they laughed.
1812
01:38:07,250 --> 01:38:08,560
Moliere has genius.
1813
01:38:09,370 --> 01:38:11,010
Christian had good looks.
1814
01:38:12,170 --> 01:38:13,610
With me, it was
always thus.
1815
01:38:16,050 --> 01:38:17,240
Good night, my friend.
1816
01:38:32,340 --> 01:38:32,950
(man)
Hold, there.
1817
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:33,950
(man)
You!
1818
01:38:35,650 --> 01:38:36,850
(Cyrano)
Are you addressing me?
1819
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:38,990
Yes, you, Monsieur
of the long nose.
1820
01:38:39,100 --> 01:38:40,000
Insolence.
1821
01:38:40,290 --> 01:38:41,990
- Foulmouthed scribbler.
- What?
1822
01:38:42,020 --> 01:38:43,440
- Lair, plagiarist!
- Liar.
1823
01:38:47,910 --> 01:38:49,660
(whistling to wagon)
1824
01:39:08,630 --> 01:39:10,920
(driver whips horses)
1825
01:39:27,570 --> 01:39:28,490
Doctor.
1826
01:39:29,930 --> 01:39:31,260
Why pretend?
1827
01:39:31,550 --> 01:39:32,910
It is very grave.
1828
01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:35,500
Keep him quiet
at all costs.
1829
01:39:35,540 --> 01:39:38,500
If he attempts
to rise, he will die.
1830
01:39:38,540 --> 01:39:39,810
Shhhh.
1831
01:39:43,220 --> 01:39:43,930
Thank you.
1832
01:39:44,980 --> 01:39:47,240
(door closes)
1833
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:55,820
(gate bell rings)
1834
01:39:59,820 --> 01:40:01,490
(gate opens)
1835
01:40:01,530 --> 01:40:03,170
Monsieur.
1836
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:03,860
Ah, Sister.
1837
01:40:09,810 --> 01:40:10,880
(gasp)
1838
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:12,350
What is the matter
with you?
1839
01:40:14,480 --> 01:40:15,900
Shall I tell you
something, Sister?
1840
01:40:16,540 --> 01:40:20,470
Yesterday, Friday, mind you,
I ate meat again.
1841
01:40:21,930 --> 01:40:23,000
Yes, I know.
1842
01:40:23,350 --> 01:40:25,080
That is why you
are so pale.
1843
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:27,930
Please come to me
to the refectory before you go.
1844
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,250
I'll make you a great
bowl of hot soup.
1845
01:40:30,280 --> 01:40:31,630
Of course, of course.
1846
01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:33,950
You're quite reasonable today.
1847
01:40:33,990 --> 01:40:36,120
Perhaps you'll convert me.
1848
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:38,260
Oh, no! Not for the world.
1849
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:40,690
Why, now I think of it,
that is so.
1850
01:40:41,070 --> 01:40:44,560
You, bursting with holiness,
and yet you never preach.
1851
01:40:45,470 --> 01:40:46,760
Astonishing.
1852
01:40:47,060 --> 01:40:49,100
And now I shall astonish you.
1853
01:40:49,690 --> 01:40:54,110
I'm going to let you
pray for me tonight, at Vespers.
1854
01:40:55,830 --> 01:40:58,700
Absolutely struck dumb, eh?
1855
01:41:02,550 --> 01:41:05,180
I did not wait for you
to say I might.
1856
01:41:14,930 --> 01:41:17,450
Now may the devil admire
me if never hope to see
1857
01:41:17,490 --> 01:41:19,570
the end of that embroidery.
1858
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:23,440
After 14 years,
late for the first time.
1859
01:41:23,480 --> 01:41:26,550
Yes.
Yes, maddening.
1860
01:41:27,330 --> 01:41:31,480
I was detained by
a visitor. Most unexpected.
1861
01:41:32,150 --> 01:41:33,660
An old friend of mine.
1862
01:41:34,540 --> 01:41:36,830
At least a very
old acquaintance.
1863
01:41:36,870 --> 01:41:38,320
Did you tell him
to go away?
1864
01:41:38,980 --> 01:41:40,410
For the time being, yes.
1865
01:41:40,440 --> 01:41:45,270
I said excuse me,
I see that it's Saturday,
1866
01:41:45,620 --> 01:41:48,200
I have a previous
engagement.
1867
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:49,620
One I cannot miss.
1868
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:52,340
Even for you.
1869
01:41:53,250 --> 01:41:55,310
Come back an hour from now.
1870
01:41:55,420 --> 01:41:59,170
Your friend will have to wait.
I shall not let you go till dark.
1871
01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:04,970
Perhaps a little before dark,
I must go.
1872
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:09,080
Oh, then tell me now
the court news. My Gazette.
1873
01:42:10,390 --> 01:42:14,190
Ah, yes, well, let me see.
1874
01:42:16,350 --> 01:42:20,840
Saturday, 19th, the King
fell ill after eight helpings of
1875
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:22,170
grape marmalade.
1876
01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:26,320
Grape marmalade will
no longer be served at court.
1877
01:42:28,190 --> 01:42:33,010
Sunday, the royal pulse
is now normal.
1878
01:42:34,630 --> 01:42:37,930
Monday, everyone was
talking about the success
1879
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:39,600
of Moliere's new play.
1880
01:42:40,830 --> 01:42:46,110
Tuesday, the King fell ill
after six helpings of marone glacee.
1881
01:42:47,910 --> 01:42:50,130
Marone glacee will no
longer be served at court.
1882
01:42:51,710 --> 01:42:55,700
Wednesday, the Compte de Firske
spoke to Madame de Monte Glas.
1883
01:42:56,500 --> 01:42:59,380
She said....no.
1884
01:43:01,480 --> 01:43:07,450
Thursday.... Nothing.
1885
01:43:07,490 --> 01:43:10,580
Friday, Madame de Monte Glas
said yes.
1886
01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:18,800
Saturday, 25th....
1887
01:43:19,450 --> 01:43:20,520
Cyrano!
1888
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:24,010
What is it?
Cyrano!
1889
01:43:28,660 --> 01:43:31,300
- Oh, no, no, it is nothing.
- What?
1890
01:43:31,750 --> 01:43:34,200
The old wound at Arras
sometimes...
1891
01:43:34,230 --> 01:43:36,980
- My poor friend.
- No, no, no, it is nothing.
1892
01:43:37,830 --> 01:43:39,350
It will soon be gone.
1893
01:43:41,010 --> 01:43:44,990
(gasp) There. 'Tis gone.
1894
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:48,480
We all have
our old wounds.
1895
01:43:49,020 --> 01:43:53,920
I have mine here,
under this faded scrap of writing.
1896
01:43:55,380 --> 01:43:57,340
It's hard to read now.
1897
01:43:58,370 --> 01:44:01,340
All for the blots
and tears.
1898
01:44:01,370 --> 01:44:02,560
His letter?
1899
01:44:03,480 --> 01:44:06,650
Did you not promise me,
that someday you would let me read it?
1900
01:44:07,090 --> 01:44:12,350
- This letter? You wish...?
- I do wish it....today.
1901
01:44:22,650 --> 01:44:24,230
Open it and read.
1902
01:44:49,700 --> 01:44:54,660
"Farewell, Roxane,
because today I die."
1903
01:44:54,690 --> 01:44:56,000
Aloud?
1904
01:44:57,180 --> 01:45:00,150
"I know that it will be today,
my own dearly beloved.
1905
01:45:01,630 --> 01:45:04,900
"Yet, my heart still so heavy
with love I have not told.
1906
01:45:06,440 --> 01:45:11,330
"And I shall die without telling you.
1907
01:45:11,900 --> 01:45:15,740
"No more shall my eyes
drink the sight of you like wine,
1908
01:45:16,230 --> 01:45:19,180
"never more with a look
that is a kiss,
1909
01:45:19,740 --> 01:45:22,430
"follow the sweet
grace of you."
1910
01:45:22,470 --> 01:45:24,400
How you read it.
His letter.
1911
01:45:24,440 --> 01:45:26,300
"I remember now the way you have
1912
01:45:26,340 --> 01:45:30,280
"of pushing back a lock of hair
with one hand from your forehead,
1913
01:45:30,860 --> 01:45:33,270
- "and my heart cries out..."
- His letter!
1914
01:45:33,310 --> 01:45:35,000
- "cries out and keeps crying."
1915
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:38,240
- You read it so...
- "Farewell, my dear, my dearest,"
1916
01:45:38,270 --> 01:45:40,650
- In a voice...
- "my own heart's own,"
1917
01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:44,230
- "my own treasure,"
- In such a voice!
- "my...love."
1918
01:45:44,260 --> 01:45:47,140
Yes, I remember hearing long ago.
1919
01:45:47,490 --> 01:45:52,210
"I am never away from you.
Even now I shall not leave you.
1920
01:45:53,110 --> 01:45:56,360
"In another world, I shall
still be that one who loves you,
1921
01:45:56,390 --> 01:46:00,110
"loves you beyond measure,
beyond..."
1922
01:46:09,180 --> 01:46:11,130
But, how can you read it now?
1923
01:46:14,420 --> 01:46:17,810
And all those 14 years
he has been the old friend
1924
01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:19,650
who came to me to be amusing.
1925
01:46:20,930 --> 01:46:23,170
- Roxane.
- It was you.
1926
01:46:23,910 --> 01:46:24,880
No, no, Roxane, no.
1927
01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:28,100
And I might have know it every time
that I heard you speak my name.
1928
01:46:28,130 --> 01:46:31,690
- No, it was not I.
- It was you!
- I swear.
1929
01:46:32,460 --> 01:46:34,810
- The letters. That was you.
- No.
1930
01:46:35,140 --> 01:46:38,960
- And the dear foolish words.
That was you.
- No.
1931
01:46:39,190 --> 01:46:43,290
- And the voice in the dark.
That was you.
- On my honor!
1932
01:46:43,330 --> 01:46:47,170
And the soul.
It was all you.
1933
01:46:47,270 --> 01:46:49,180
I never loved you.
1934
01:46:49,350 --> 01:46:50,850
Yes, you loved me.
1935
01:46:50,970 --> 01:46:52,740
Even now you love me.
1936
01:46:53,660 --> 01:46:55,610
(gasp)
No!
1937
01:46:55,650 --> 01:46:57,920
And twice you're great to know.
1938
01:46:57,950 --> 01:47:00,760
Oh, no, no, my own dear love,
I love you not.
1939
01:47:03,340 --> 01:47:05,840
Why were you silent
for so many years?
1940
01:47:06,580 --> 01:47:07,860
All the while.
1941
01:47:08,090 --> 01:47:11,110
Every night, and every day,
he gave me nothing.
1942
01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:13,120
You knew that.
1943
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:16,680
You knew in that letter
lying on my breast.
1944
01:47:17,940 --> 01:47:19,230
Your tears.
1945
01:47:20,580 --> 01:47:22,770
You knew they
were your tears.
1946
01:47:26,390 --> 01:47:28,270
The blood was his.
1947
01:47:29,370 --> 01:47:30,200
Cyrano!
1948
01:47:32,690 --> 01:47:34,320
Here! He's here.
1949
01:47:34,490 --> 01:47:36,270
Oh, what recklessness.
1950
01:47:36,310 --> 01:47:36,570
No.
1951
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:37,430
I knew it!
1952
01:47:37,490 --> 01:47:40,440
- Oh Madame he has killed
himself coming here.
- No. Shh.
1953
01:47:40,700 --> 01:47:42,220
That drink is, what is it?
1954
01:47:42,290 --> 01:47:45,510
Nothing. I did not
finish my Gazette.
1955
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:49,970
Saturday, 26th, an hour
or so before dinner
1956
01:47:50,540 --> 01:47:55,340
Ms. de Bergerac died,
foully murdered.
1957
01:47:55,690 --> 01:47:57,470
Cyrano, what have
they done to you?
1958
01:47:57,600 --> 01:47:59,540
How fate loves a jest.
1959
01:47:59,980 --> 01:48:03,000
Behold me ambushed,
taken unawares.
1960
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:08,830
My noble foe, a lackey.
My battlefield, a gutter.
1961
01:48:09,490 --> 01:48:10,950
It seems too logical.
1962
01:48:11,370 --> 01:48:13,040
They have missed everything,
1963
01:48:13,820 --> 01:48:15,290
even my death.
1964
01:48:16,330 --> 01:48:17,950
Sisters! Sisters!
1965
01:48:17,990 --> 01:48:21,350
No, do not go away.
I may not be here when you return.
1966
01:48:22,030 --> 01:48:23,760
You shall not die.
1967
01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:25,460
(sobbing)
I love you.
1968
01:48:25,490 --> 01:48:27,410
No, my lady,
it's not in the story.
1969
01:48:28,100 --> 01:48:29,900
When beauty said
I love you to the beast
1970
01:48:29,930 --> 01:48:32,990
all his ugliness changed
and dissolved, like magic.
1971
01:48:33,550 --> 01:48:37,370
But, you see,
I am still the same.
1972
01:48:37,440 --> 01:48:39,430
And I have
done this to you.
1973
01:48:39,470 --> 01:48:40,620
You? Why no.
1974
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:42,060
All my fault, mine!
1975
01:48:42,100 --> 01:48:43,320
On the contrary.
1976
01:48:44,060 --> 01:48:47,080
I have never know womanhood
in its sweetness, but for you.
1977
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:50,750
My mother did not
like to look at me.
1978
01:48:52,050 --> 01:48:53,530
I never had a sister.
1979
01:48:54,880 --> 01:49:01,130
Later, I feared those sweethearts
with mockery behind her smile.
1980
01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:06,150
But, because of you,
I have had across my life
1981
01:49:06,930 --> 01:49:10,600
one whispering, silken gown.
1982
01:49:12,780 --> 01:49:15,200
I never loved but
one man in my life.
1983
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:18,680
I have lost him, twice.
1984
01:49:19,660 --> 01:49:23,540
(sobbing)
1985
01:49:23,570 --> 01:49:27,890
I would not have you mourning
any less that good, noble Christian.
1986
01:49:28,980 --> 01:49:32,570
But, perhaps, I ask only this,
1987
01:49:34,100 --> 01:49:36,370
when the great cold
gathers around my bones,
1988
01:49:37,770 --> 01:49:42,590
you may give a double
meaning to your widow's weeds.
1989
01:49:43,910 --> 01:49:50,900
The tears you let fall for him,
may for a little, be my tears.
1990
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:53,040
Oh, my love!
1991
01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:58,400
No, not here.
Not lying down.
1992
01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:01,300
Let no one help me.
No one need help me.
1993
01:50:06,310 --> 01:50:07,430
It is coming.
1994
01:50:08,260 --> 01:50:11,460
I feel already shod with marble.
1995
01:50:12,720 --> 01:50:13,950
Gloved with lead.
1996
01:50:14,730 --> 01:50:16,700
Very well,
let the old fellow come now.
1997
01:50:17,190 --> 01:50:19,600
He shall find me
on my feet.
1998
01:50:21,670 --> 01:50:23,120
Sword in hand.
1999
01:50:23,160 --> 01:50:24,110
Cyrano!
2000
01:50:24,500 --> 01:50:25,890
He'd delirious.
2001
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:28,000
I see him now.
2002
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:28,700
He grins.
2003
01:50:28,740 --> 01:50:30,750
He is looking at my nose!
2004
01:50:30,790 --> 01:50:31,820
That skeleton.
2005
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:33,730
You there.
2006
01:50:33,970 --> 01:50:34,670
Who are you?
2007
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:36,950
A hundred against one, eh?
2008
01:50:37,300 --> 01:50:40,020
I know them now,
my ancient enemies.
2009
01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:40,960
Falsehood, there!
2010
01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:42,470
There, Prejudice!
2011
01:50:42,490 --> 01:50:44,100
Compromise, Cowardice.
2012
01:50:44,580 --> 01:50:47,160
What's that?
Surrender? No, never!
2013
01:50:47,190 --> 01:50:48,430
Never!
2014
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:50,820
Ah, you too, Vanity.
2015
01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:54,180
I knew you would
overthrow me in the end.
2016
01:50:54,210 --> 01:50:57,310
No, I fight, I fight on,
I fight....ow!
2017
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:01,000
(gasping)
2018
01:51:06,540 --> 01:51:08,550
All my laurels
you have riven away.
2019
01:51:10,290 --> 01:51:11,770
And my roses.
2020
01:51:12,940 --> 01:51:15,600
Yet, in spite of you,
there is one crown
2021
01:51:15,630 --> 01:51:16,980
I made away with me.
2022
01:51:17,020 --> 01:51:20,380
And tonight when I
enter before God,
2023
01:51:21,850 --> 01:51:27,140
my salute shall sweep away
the stars from the blue threshold.
2024
01:51:28,310 --> 01:51:33,240
One thing without stain,
unspotted from the world,
2025
01:51:34,240 --> 01:51:40,610
in spite of doom, mine own,
...and that is...
2026
01:51:43,220 --> 01:51:51,220
my...white...plume...

In seventeenth-century Paris, poet and supreme swordsman Cyrano de Bergerac (José Ferrer) stops a play from being shown because he ostensibly cannot stand the bombastic style of the principal actor, Montfleury (Arthur Blake). An annoyed aristocratic fop, the Vicomte de Valvert (Albert Cavens), provokes him into a duel by tritely insulting Cyrano's enormous nose. Cyrano first mocks his lack of wit, improvising numerous inventive ways in which Valvert could have phrased it (much to the amusement of the audience). He then composes a ballade for the occasion on the spot and recites it during the sword fight. With the last line, he stabs his opponent.
Cyrano's friend Le Bret (Morris Carnovsky), Captain of the Gascony Guards, warns him he has made powerful enemies of his victim's friends, but he is unconcerned. When Le Bret presses him to reveal the real reason he hates Montfleury, Cyrano admits that he became jealous when he saw the actor smiling at his beautiful cousin Roxane (Mala Powers). He confesses that he is in love with her, but harbors no hope of it being returned because of his nose. When he receives a request from Roxane to see her in the morning, he is finally emboldened to act.
Then pastry chef and fellow poet Ragueneau (Lloyd Corrigan) approaches him for help. Ragueneau has learned that a nobleman he had mocked with his verses, the Comte De Guiche (Ralph Clanton), has hired a hundred ruffians to teach him a lesson. Cyrano escorts him, kills eight of the horde, and drives off the rest.
The next day, before he can tell Roxane of his feelings, she informs him that she has fallen in love with a handsome guardsman, Christian de Neuvillette (William Prince), though she has not even spoken to him. Cyrano hides his devastation and agrees to help her.
Cyrano befriends the young man, who is in Cyrano's guards' unit, and discovers that he is infatuated with Roxane, but is too inept with words to woo her. To help him, Cyrano composes Christian's love letters to Roxane, which she finds irresistible. Later, Christian decides he wants no more help and tries to speak to Roxane face to face, but fails miserably and she re-enters her house in an angry huff. Cyrano, hiding in the bushes, comes to his rescue, but this time by imitating Christian's voice and speaking to Roxane from under her balcony. He is so eloquent that he (unintentionally) wins a kiss for Christian from Roxane.
When the arrogant Comte De Guiche, who is also wooing Roxane, pressures her to marry him, Cyrano delays him long enough for her to wed Christian instead. Furious, De Guiche, Christian's commander, orders him to join his unit immediately for a war against the Spanish, preventing the couple from spending their wedding night together.
With Cyrano under his command as well, De Guiche earns the swordsman's respect by his conduct in the war. From the field, Cyrano sends Roxane letters every day, supposedly written by Christian. Roxane visits her husband in camp and tells him that she now has fallen in love with him not merely for his looks but because of his words, and would love him even if he were ugly. Realizing that she really loves Cyrano, Christian gets his rival to agree to tell Roxane the truth and let her decide between them. But before the opportunity arises, Christian volunteers for a dangerous mission and is fatally wounded, silencing Cyrano.
Roxane enters a convent in mourning. Years pass, with Cyrano visiting Roxane weekly, having retired from the military and writing satirical articles mocking the nobility. De Guiche, who has also befriended her and has come to respect Cyrano, has overheard a courtier plotting against Cyrano. De Guiche warns Roxane that Cyrano's life may be in danger. One night, Cyrano is lured into an ambush; the poet is run down by a carriage. Near death, he hides his injuries and goes to keep his appointment with Roxane for the last time. His secret love for Roxane is finally revealed when he recites from memory the last of his love letters, which she has kept, but it is too late. Cyrano first slips into delirium, then dies, leaving Roxane to mourn a second time.

00:01:58,150 --> 00:02:01,030
(applause)
2
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,210
(applause continues)
3
00:02:26,210 --> 00:02:29,890
<i>Thrice happy he who hides
from pomp and power</i>
4
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:33,590
<i>in sylvan shade
or solitary bower</i>
5
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,630
<i>where balmy zephyrs
fan his burning cheeks...</i>
6
00:02:37,660 --> 00:02:41,460
- Clown! The king of clowns!
Leave the stage at once!
7
00:02:43,970 --> 00:02:44,620
- Who is it?
8
00:02:44,650 --> 00:02:47,570
It's Cyrano.
I was afraid he'd do this.
9
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,250
<i>Thrice happy he
who hides from pomp and power...</i>
10
00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:54,910
- Wretch! Did I not forbid
you to appear this month?
11
00:02:57,940 --> 00:02:59,260
- Let's be quiet.
- Quiet!
12
00:03:00,190 --> 00:03:01,380
- Go on Montfleury.
13
00:03:04,270 --> 00:03:06,400
<i>Thrice happy he who...</i>
14
00:03:06,430 --> 00:03:07,630
- He who, indeed.
15
00:03:07,660 --> 00:03:10,730
- Donkeys say rather Hee-Haw!
16
00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:17,790
Begone! Or must I come and
help you off the stage myself?
17
00:03:21,130 --> 00:03:24,000
What! Still there?
18
00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:28,220
<i>Where balmy zephyrs
fan his burning cheeks... </i>
19
00:03:28,250 --> 00:03:32,050
Fat swine, if you dare breathe
on balmy zephyr more
20
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,640
I'll fan your cheeks
for you!
21
00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:36,480
Monsieur, won't you all
protect me?
22
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,090
- Proceed, proceed.
- Go on.
23
00:03:38,130 --> 00:03:40,880
Sir, I will not allow you
to insult me in this manner.
24
00:03:40,910 --> 00:03:43,520
Really?
What manner would you prefer?
25
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:44,850
Quiet, down there!
26
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,940
- We'll tolerate
no more of this.
27
00:03:47,870 --> 00:03:49,720
Go on with the play,
Montfleury.
28
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:52,380
(shouting criticisms)
29
00:03:52,410 --> 00:03:54,480
Unless these gentlemen
retain your seats
30
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,790
my sword may
bite their ribbons.
31
00:03:56,830 --> 00:03:58,650
Who is this braggart?
32
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,070
My cousin, sir.
33
00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:04,710
Well, Montfleury,
still no exit?
34
00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:06,930
- Very well then,
I enter
35
00:04:06,970 --> 00:04:11,740
with knife, to carve
this fat, stuffed goose.
36
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:14,800
(ominous music begins)
37
00:04:14,830 --> 00:04:18,080
(crowd clamors)
38
00:04:20,030 --> 00:04:22,170
I pray, do not crowd
my scabbard here.
39
00:04:22,210 --> 00:04:24,320
She may put her
tongue out at you.
40
00:04:24,350 --> 00:04:27,140
(shouted recriminations)
41
00:04:29,870 --> 00:04:30,990
Silence.
42
00:04:31,910 --> 00:04:33,830
I say be silent!
43
00:04:35,450 --> 00:04:38,260
And I offer one universal
challenge to you all:
44
00:04:38,460 --> 00:04:41,410
Will all who wish to die,
please raise their hands.
45
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,360
Approach, young heroes.
I will take your names.
46
00:04:45,140 --> 00:04:47,830
To the first man who falls
I'll build a monument.
47
00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:49,710
Who will head the list?
48
00:04:50,010 --> 00:04:50,780
You, sir?
49
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,000
No.
50
00:04:52,830 --> 00:04:53,610
You?
51
00:04:54,470 --> 00:04:55,170
No, no.
52
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,770
Anyone?
53
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,600
Anyone at all?
54
00:05:01,110 --> 00:05:03,550
Not one...name?
55
00:05:04,260 --> 00:05:06,420
Not one finger?
56
00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:10,260
Very well then,
I go on.
57
00:05:16,130 --> 00:05:18,810
Attend to me, Full Moon.
58
00:05:21,340 --> 00:05:24,190
I clap my hands three times, thus.
59
00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:26,740
(three claps)
60
00:05:26,770 --> 00:05:30,320
At the third, you will...
eclipse yourself.
61
00:05:30,490 --> 00:05:31,390
Ready!
62
00:05:32,110 --> 00:05:32,910
One.
63
00:05:34,010 --> 00:05:34,900
(clap)
64
00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:36,070
How dare you.
65
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:37,210
I demand!
66
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,070
I insist.
67
00:05:38,110 --> 00:05:40,150
- I call upon all the nobles...
- Two!
68
00:05:41,010 --> 00:05:42,080
(clap)
69
00:05:42,110 --> 00:05:43,090
This is an outrage.
70
00:05:43,130 --> 00:05:44,040
You hear, an outrage.
71
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:46,620
Nothing on earth
will move me from this stage.
72
00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:48,800
Three!
73
00:05:49,570 --> 00:05:49,910
(clap)
74
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:55,410
(laughter)
75
00:05:56,260 --> 00:05:59,210
Fair ladies and noble gentlemen...
- Boo!
76
00:05:59,250 --> 00:06:02,560
(laughter)
77
00:06:02,950 --> 00:06:04,210
But, Monsieur de Bergerac,
78
00:06:04,250 --> 00:06:07,490
why have you done this
to our Montfleury, an admirable actor?
79
00:06:07,530 --> 00:06:10,090
I have two reasons,
either one conclusive.
80
00:06:10,670 --> 00:06:12,800
First, he is an
abominable actor,
81
00:06:12,830 --> 00:06:15,870
who mouths his verse
and moans his tragedy.
82
00:06:16,350 --> 00:06:17,630
Second,....
83
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:20,970
Well, that's my secret.
84
00:06:22,530 --> 00:06:25,280
But...
But you've closed the play!
85
00:06:25,310 --> 00:06:26,880
It is not a very good play.
86
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:28,970
Huh!
And of their money?
87
00:06:29,010 --> 00:06:31,080
Possibly you would like
that returned to these good people.
88
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:31,960
Yes?
89
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,360
Yes.
90
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:35,830
Here,...catch!
91
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:37,920
(crowd murmurs)
92
00:06:38,410 --> 00:06:41,960
Well, Monsieur, you are hereby
authorized to close our play every night.
93
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,200
On these terms.
94
00:06:43,230 --> 00:06:43,740
(laughter)
95
00:06:43,780 --> 00:06:46,400
Ladies and gentlemen,
your money will be returned.
96
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,250
Kindly pass out, quietly.
97
00:06:48,290 --> 00:06:50,030
Goodnight, goodnight.
98
00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:53,220
(crowd accepts
in good spirits)
99
00:06:55,740 --> 00:06:57,120
(until...)
100
00:06:59,530 --> 00:07:02,610
Your cousin is an
extraordinary man, Madame.
101
00:07:02,650 --> 00:07:04,080
Oh, I agree.
102
00:07:04,410 --> 00:07:08,550
Soldier, poet, philosopher,
musician, playwright.
103
00:07:08,580 --> 00:07:09,570
All those?
104
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,360
Yes, and the best
swordsman in Paris.
105
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,310
Really?
106
00:07:14,340 --> 00:07:17,060
Now, I should have thought
the Vicomte here had that honor.
107
00:07:17,310 --> 00:07:21,360
Tell me, Madame, that
comic mask, that nose,
108
00:07:21,390 --> 00:07:23,300
presently he will take it off?
109
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:25,950
No, Monsieur, he keeps it.
110
00:07:26,450 --> 00:07:29,350
And heaven help
the man who smiles.
111
00:07:29,850 --> 00:07:31,060
Good night.
112
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,880
Oh, Monsieur!
113
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,980
Monsieur!
114
00:07:40,020 --> 00:07:42,710
Uh, when do you leave Paris?
115
00:07:43,210 --> 00:07:44,100
Sir?
116
00:07:44,250 --> 00:07:46,280
Why, after what you've
just done to Montfleury,
117
00:07:46,310 --> 00:07:48,750
did you not know that
the Compte de Guiche was his patron?
118
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:50,190
Who's yours?
119
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:52,140
No one.
120
00:07:52,170 --> 00:07:52,940
No one?
121
00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:53,870
No patron?
122
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:54,630
I said not.
123
00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:56,900
But the Compte de Guiche
has a long arm.
124
00:07:56,930 --> 00:07:58,900
Mine is longer
by three feet of steel.
125
00:07:59,530 --> 00:08:00,180
Yes, but..
126
00:08:00,860 --> 00:08:02,160
but, what a scare...
127
00:08:02,190 --> 00:08:02,990
You may go now.
128
00:08:03,020 --> 00:08:04,510
- but...
- You may go.
129
00:08:05,810 --> 00:08:08,620
Well, tell me,
why are you staring at my nose?
130
00:08:08,650 --> 00:08:10,160
Oh, I was not staring.
131
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:11,630
Does it astonish you?
132
00:08:11,660 --> 00:08:13,920
Why n...Why no, I've been careful
not to look.
133
00:08:13,950 --> 00:08:15,510
Oh, and why not, if you please?
134
00:08:15,550 --> 00:08:16,730
It disgusts you, then?
135
00:08:16,770 --> 00:08:17,880
But, no, I just...
136
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,700
Does its color appear
to you unwholesome?
137
00:08:19,730 --> 00:08:20,480
By no means.
138
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,310
Then, possibly you find it
just a trifle large?
139
00:08:22,340 --> 00:08:24,500
No, small, very small, tiny!
140
00:08:24,530 --> 00:08:25,640
Infinitesimal!
141
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,960
What?
You accuse me of absurdity?
142
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,730
Small, my nose?
Why magnificent, my nose!
143
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,900
You pug, you knob,
you button head,
144
00:08:34,930 --> 00:08:37,170
know that I glory
in this nose of mine!
145
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,400
For a great nose
indicates a great man,
146
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:45,440
congenial, courteous,
intellectual, virile, courageous.
147
00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:48,050
Whilst that face of yours,
148
00:08:48,370 --> 00:08:54,070
that blank, inglorious concavity
which my right hand finds on top of you,
149
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:59,630
is as devoid of pride, of poetry,
of soul, of picturesqueness,
150
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:04,810
of contour, of character,
of nose, in short,
151
00:09:04,850 --> 00:09:09,740
as that which is at the bottom of
that limp spine of yours my left foot...
- Oh, help!
152
00:09:09,780 --> 00:09:11,550
(laughter)
153
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:13,840
Presently, this fellow
will grow tiresome.
154
00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:16,590
Oh, he blows his horn.
155
00:09:17,330 --> 00:09:19,800
- Well, will no one
put him in his place?
156
00:09:20,270 --> 00:09:22,660
If you would all me.
Observe.
157
00:09:25,090 --> 00:09:31,260
Monsieur, your nose,
your nose is rather large.
158
00:09:34,450 --> 00:09:35,400
Rather?
159
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,350
Oh, well.
160
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:37,620
Is that all?
161
00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:38,540
Well, of course, you...
162
00:09:38,570 --> 00:09:40,400
Ah, no young sir, you're too simple.
163
00:09:40,430 --> 00:09:42,620
Why, you might have
said a great many things.
164
00:09:42,650 --> 00:09:44,800
Why waste your opportunity?
165
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:45,860
For example, thus...
166
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:47,450
Aggressive---
167
00:09:47,490 --> 00:09:51,040
I, sir, if that great nose were mine,
I would have it amputated on the spot.
168
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:52,710
Practical---
169
00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:56,570
How do you drink with such a nose.
You must have had a cup made especially.
170
00:09:56,850 --> 00:09:57,880
Descriptive---
171
00:09:57,910 --> 00:10:00,570
'Tis a rock, a crag, a cape.
172
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,510
A cape, say rather, a peninsula.
173
00:10:05,890 --> 00:10:06,990
Inquisitive---
174
00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:11,400
Uh, what is that receptacle,
a razor case or a portfolio?
175
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,680
Kindly---
176
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,840
Ah, do you love the little birds so much
that when they come and sing to you,
177
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,690
you give them this to perch on?
178
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,570
Cautious---
179
00:10:20,610 --> 00:10:24,120
Take care. A weight like that
might make you top-heavy.
180
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,250
Eloquent---
181
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,510
When it blows the typhoon howls
and the clouds darken.
182
00:10:29,580 --> 00:10:30,400
Dramatic---
183
00:10:30,430 --> 00:10:34,690
When it bleeds...the Red Sea.
184
00:10:35,540 --> 00:10:36,530
Simple---
185
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:39,640
Eh, when do they
unveil the monument?
186
00:10:40,020 --> 00:10:40,900
Military---
187
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:43,510
Beware, a secret weapon!
188
00:10:44,290 --> 00:10:45,620
Enterprising---
189
00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:48,080
What a sigh for some perfumer!
190
00:10:48,490 --> 00:10:49,300
Respectful---
191
00:10:49,330 --> 00:10:52,050
Uh sir, I recognize in you
a man of parts,
192
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,740
a man of...prominence.
193
00:10:54,770 --> 00:10:56,500
Or, Literary---
194
00:10:56,530 --> 00:10:59,360
Was this the nose
that launched a thousand ships?
195
00:11:00,010 --> 00:11:02,850
These, my dear sir, are things
you might have said had you
196
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,690
some tinge of letters or of wit
to color your discourse.
197
00:11:05,810 --> 00:11:07,970
Bit wit not so.
You never had an atom.
198
00:11:08,270 --> 00:11:14,480
And of letters, you need
but three to write you down, a..s..s.
199
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:16,530
Ass.
200
00:11:16,570 --> 00:11:18,040
- (laughter)
- You, sir!
201
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,600
Dolt! Bumpkin! Fool!
202
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:26,620
How do you do, and I,
Cyrano Savinien Hercule de Bergerac.
203
00:11:26,650 --> 00:11:28,050
Vicomte, come.
204
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,650
Such arrogance.
This scarecrow who...
205
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:31,850
Look at him!
206
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,120
No ribbons. No lace.
Not even gloves!
207
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,700
True. I carry my adornments
only on my soul.
208
00:11:39,740 --> 00:11:41,860
Decked with deeds
instead of ribbons.
209
00:11:41,890 --> 00:11:43,420
Mantled in my good name,
210
00:11:43,460 --> 00:11:45,350
and crowned with a
white plume of freedom.
211
00:11:45,380 --> 00:11:46,130
But..
212
00:11:46,170 --> 00:11:47,510
But, I have no gloves.
213
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:48,630
A pity, too.
214
00:11:48,670 --> 00:11:51,630
I had one, the last one of an old pair,
and lost that.
215
00:11:51,660 --> 00:11:53,250
Very careless of me.
216
00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:55,750
Some gentleman offered me
an impertinence.
217
00:11:55,790 --> 00:11:59,840
I left it in his face.
218
00:11:59,870 --> 00:12:00,840
So be it!
219
00:12:02,110 --> 00:12:05,050
You shall die exquisitely
220
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,160
Oh, a poet.
221
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,640
Oh, yes, a poet if you will.
222
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:11,510
So, uh, while we fight,
I'll improvise a ballad for you,
223
00:12:11,540 --> 00:12:15,270
and as I end the refrain,
...skhrch!...thrust home.
224
00:12:15,310 --> 00:12:16,280
Will you?
225
00:12:17,180 --> 00:12:18,130
I will.
226
00:12:21,820 --> 00:12:23,420
(excited crowd)
227
00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:26,890
Ballad au Duel
at the Theatre de Burgoyne
228
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,320
between de Bergerac,
and uh.....a barbarian.
229
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,240
What do you mean by that?
230
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,000
Oh, that?
231
00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:34,960
The title.
232
00:12:34,990 --> 00:12:36,570
(laughter)
233
00:12:36,610 --> 00:12:38,200
Stop. Let me choose my rhyme.
234
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:47,640
So. Here we go.
235
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:50,070
Lightly I toss my hat away.
236
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:55,440
Languidly o'er my arm let fall
the cloak that covers my bright array.
237
00:12:55,510 --> 00:13:00,770
Then, out swords,
and to work withal.
238
00:13:02,660 --> 00:13:05,720
A Lancelot in his lady's hall,
239
00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:10,580
A Spartacus at the Hippodrome,
240
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,340
I dally a while with you..
241
00:13:13,380 --> 00:13:14,750
you jackall.
242
00:13:32,810 --> 00:13:34,360
Just as I end the refrain,
243
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,380
thrust home!
244
00:13:51,290 --> 00:13:54,220
Where shall I skewer my peacock again?
245
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,160
Nay, better for you
to have shunned this brawl.
246
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,010
Here in the heart
or your ribbons, gay,
247
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,610
in the belly
'neath you silken shawl?
248
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,130
Now, come my points floats,
light as the foam
249
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,640
ready to drive you
back to the wall,
250
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:20,030
and then as I end the refrain,
251
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,440
thrust home.
252
00:14:21,930 --> 00:14:23,210
Oh, for a rhyme.
253
00:14:23,580 --> 00:14:25,060
Why, your fight is fading.
254
00:14:25,420 --> 00:14:26,040
You break.
255
00:14:26,350 --> 00:14:26,970
You cower.
256
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:27,600
You cringe.
257
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:28,200
You crawl.
258
00:14:29,310 --> 00:14:30,740
How can I tell
you're allowed to say
259
00:14:30,780 --> 00:14:31,750
something to turn on my head
260
00:14:31,790 --> 00:14:32,720
forestall.....
261
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:33,660
Life with a tunny
262
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:34,970
death with a scall.
263
00:14:35,010 --> 00:14:36,760
Something to turn on my fancy roam,
264
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,670
free for a time till the rhyme's recall,
265
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,620
then as I end the refrain,
266
00:14:40,650 --> 00:14:41,620
thrust home!
267
00:14:43,810 --> 00:14:44,670
Refrain.
268
00:14:45,550 --> 00:14:48,960
Prince,
pray God that is Lord of all,
269
00:14:48,990 --> 00:14:50,840
pardon you soul,
270
00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:54,190
for your time has come.
271
00:14:56,860 --> 00:14:58,820
Pass! I fling you aslant, asprawl.
272
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:00,590
Then as I end the refrain,
273
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,680
thrust home!
274
00:15:41,820 --> 00:15:45,390
(shouts of hurray
and congratulation)
275
00:15:47,130 --> 00:15:49,470
Ladies and gentlemen,
please, please,
276
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:50,790
not until the performance is over.
277
00:15:51,070 --> 00:15:51,980
Close the house.
278
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:52,820
A strike,
279
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,340
but leave the lights.
280
00:15:54,380 --> 00:15:56,070
We rehearse the new
farce tonight.
281
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,240
Wait.
282
00:16:04,110 --> 00:16:05,570
You have only to watch a fight,
283
00:16:05,610 --> 00:16:07,530
or have you ruined
if you listen to them.
284
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:11,570
Think of the enemies you've made,
285
00:16:11,610 --> 00:16:14,050
Montfleury, the Vicomte,
if he lives,
286
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,380
all those foppish marquis,
the Comte de Guiche.
287
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:18,970
That politician.
288
00:16:19,010 --> 00:16:21,910
He's the Cardinal's nephew.
There's power there!
289
00:16:21,950 --> 00:16:23,330
And power here.
290
00:16:23,370 --> 00:16:24,680
Young fool!
291
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,540
Take an example from me.
292
00:16:26,570 --> 00:16:29,810
20 years a captain,
while others who know only
293
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,750
how to deploy their
forces at court
294
00:16:31,780 --> 00:16:33,890
now dangle a marshal's baton.
295
00:16:33,930 --> 00:16:37,360
Well, uh, someday
I will avenge you, too.
296
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,530
Impossible.
Come on, let's go to dinner.
297
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,830
Dinner?
No, not I.
298
00:16:41,860 --> 00:16:42,540
Why not?
299
00:16:42,580 --> 00:16:44,530
Because I have no money.
300
00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:46,150
But, the purse of gold.
301
00:16:46,180 --> 00:16:48,140
Farewell paternal pension.
302
00:16:48,180 --> 00:16:51,430
And you have
until the first of next month?
303
00:16:51,470 --> 00:16:52,310
Nothing.
304
00:16:53,140 --> 00:16:54,460
What a fool.
305
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:56,770
Yes, but, what a moment.
306
00:16:56,810 --> 00:16:57,670
- Pardon, Monsieur.
307
00:17:00,010 --> 00:17:01,770
A man ought
never to go hungry.
308
00:17:02,690 --> 00:17:04,150
I have everything here.
309
00:17:05,490 --> 00:17:06,360
Please.
310
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,080
My dear child, I cannot bend this Gascon
pride of mine to accept such a kindness.
311
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:11,820
But, I...
312
00:17:12,910 --> 00:17:15,810
Yet, for fear that
I may give you pain if I refuse,
313
00:17:16,550 --> 00:17:18,190
I will take something.
314
00:17:19,630 --> 00:17:20,660
A grape.
315
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:25,160
One only.
316
00:17:25,820 --> 00:17:27,170
And a glass of water.
317
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,650
No, clear.
318
00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:35,750
And, uh,...half a macaroon.
319
00:17:37,010 --> 00:17:38,100
Nothing more?
320
00:17:39,060 --> 00:17:39,920
Why, yes.
321
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,230
Your hand to kiss.
322
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,510
Thank you, sir.
323
00:18:02,090 --> 00:18:03,100
Good night.
324
00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:10,290
Idiot.
325
00:18:13,170 --> 00:18:13,890
Dinner.
326
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,160
Drink.
327
00:18:18,830 --> 00:18:19,720
Desert.
328
00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:24,670
Mon Dieux, I was hungry,
abominably.
329
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:26,320
Tell me.
330
00:18:26,590 --> 00:18:27,440
Anything.
331
00:18:27,790 --> 00:18:29,920
Why to you hate
this Montfleury?
332
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:32,860
A very bad actor.
333
00:18:32,890 --> 00:18:34,860
Ah, come now, the real
reason, the truth.
334
00:18:36,610 --> 00:18:39,600
That fat goat who cannot hold
his belly in his arms,
335
00:18:39,630 --> 00:18:42,590
still dreams of being
sweetly dangerous among the women.
336
00:18:43,230 --> 00:18:47,610
Sighs and languishes, making sheep's
eyes out of his great frog's face.
337
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:52,750
I hate him ever since one day
he dared smile upon....
338
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,220
Oh, my friend, I seemed to see over
some flower a great snail crawling.
339
00:19:00,090 --> 00:19:01,180
Eh, what?
340
00:19:02,170 --> 00:19:03,340
Is it possible?
341
00:19:04,890 --> 00:19:06,180
For me to love?
342
00:19:08,770 --> 00:19:09,660
I love.
343
00:19:10,370 --> 00:19:12,570
Whom?
May I know?
344
00:19:12,610 --> 00:19:13,620
Whom I love?
345
00:19:15,070 --> 00:19:16,000
Think a moment.
346
00:19:16,210 --> 00:19:17,280
Think of me.
347
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,670
Me, whom the plainest
woman would despise.
348
00:19:21,030 --> 00:19:25,010
Me, with this nose of mine that
marches on before me by a quarter of an hour.
349
00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:28,000
Whom shall I love.
350
00:19:29,890 --> 00:19:34,930
Why, of course, it must be the
woman in the world most beautiful.
351
00:19:35,780 --> 00:19:37,170
Most beautiful?
352
00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:42,920
In these eyes of mine....
beyond compare.
353
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:44,070
Wait.
354
00:19:44,510 --> 00:19:46,440
Your cousin, Roxane.
355
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,300
Yes.
356
00:19:50,170 --> 00:19:51,080
Roxane.
357
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,810
Well?
358
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,020
Why not?
If you love her, tell her so.
359
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,170
My old friend.
360
00:20:01,150 --> 00:20:03,550
Look at me and tell me how
much hope remains for me
361
00:20:03,580 --> 00:20:04,970
with this protuberance.
362
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,360
Ahhh, I have no more illusions.
363
00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:12,140
Now and then I may grow tender
walking alone in the blue of evening
364
00:20:12,170 --> 00:20:16,130
through some garden fresh with flowers
after the benediction of the rain.
365
00:20:16,980 --> 00:20:20,930
My poor big devil of a nose
inhales April.
366
00:20:21,460 --> 00:20:26,950
And I follow with my eyes where
some boy with a girl upon his arm,
367
00:20:27,510 --> 00:20:32,130
passes a patch of silver...
and I feel somehow....
368
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,490
I wish I had a woman, too,
369
00:20:36,670 --> 00:20:41,660
walking with me under the moon,
and holding my arm and smiling.
370
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:44,240
Then I dream.
371
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:46,140
I forget.
372
00:20:49,510 --> 00:20:53,210
And then I see the shadow
of my profile on the wall.
373
00:20:54,750 --> 00:20:56,050
My friend.
374
00:20:57,180 --> 00:20:58,230
My friend.
375
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,370
I have my bitter days,
knowing myself so ugly, so alone.
376
00:21:03,410 --> 00:21:05,260
Ah, but your wit, your courage,
377
00:21:05,540 --> 00:21:08,170
why that poor child who just
now offered you your dinner,
378
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,710
your saw it, her eyes
did not avoid you.
379
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,920
That is true.
380
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,930
Well, then, Roxane herself,
watching your duel, pale.
381
00:21:18,970 --> 00:21:19,480
Pale?
382
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,670
Yes, her lips parted.
Her hand at her breast, thus.
383
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,020
I saw it.
384
00:21:24,260 --> 00:21:27,260
Speak to her. Speak, man.
385
00:21:35,890 --> 00:21:37,550
She might laugh at me.
386
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:42,480
It is the one thing
in this world I fear.
387
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,490
Pardon, Monsieur,
a lady outside asking for you.
388
00:21:48,410 --> 00:21:49,750
Monsieur.
389
00:21:50,340 --> 00:21:51,270
A Duenna.
390
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,530
I have a message for you
from a...a certain lady.
391
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,760
She desires to know when
and where she may see you privately.
392
00:21:57,810 --> 00:22:00,070
She has certain
things to tell you.
393
00:22:00,690 --> 00:22:01,850
Certain...
394
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,010
Things!
395
00:22:04,230 --> 00:22:05,720
She wishes to see me?
396
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,410
We go tomorrow at dawn
to hear mass at St. Rupe
397
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,070
And afterwards, where
would you suggest?
398
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:12,630
Well, then, I...
399
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:15,300
- Where?
- Well?
400
00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:17,070
Ah....I am thinking.
401
00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:18,080
And you think?
402
00:22:19,770 --> 00:22:20,590
Where?
403
00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:22,060
The shop at Ragueneau's.
404
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:24,580
Yes, yes, Ragueneau,
the pastry cook.
405
00:22:24,620 --> 00:22:25,400
Who dwells?
406
00:22:26,650 --> 00:22:27,590
Rue Saint Honore.
407
00:22:27,630 --> 00:22:28,690
Eh...Rue Saint Honore.
408
00:22:28,730 --> 00:22:33,530
We are agreed. At 7 o'clock.
Until then. Adieu.
409
00:22:38,790 --> 00:22:39,940
I'll be there.
410
00:22:41,620 --> 00:22:44,110
Me! To see me!
411
00:22:44,260 --> 00:22:45,830
Ah, not quite so gloomy.
412
00:22:45,870 --> 00:22:47,580
After all, she knows
that I exist.
413
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,060
Imagine, she has
asked to see me!
414
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:52,240
So, now you're
going to be happy?
415
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,350
Happy.
I'm going to be a storm.
A flame!
416
00:22:55,390 --> 00:22:58,430
I need to fight whole
armies all alone!
417
00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,840
I have ten hearts!
418
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,280
I have a hundred arms!.
419
00:23:01,310 --> 00:23:04,450
I feel too strong
to war with mortals!
420
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,150
BRING ME GIANTS!
421
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:11,240
Quiet, please, shhh.
We are rehearsing back here.
422
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,600
So sorry.
Ha, ha, ha.
423
00:23:21,490 --> 00:23:22,280
Cyrano.
424
00:23:22,830 --> 00:23:23,630
Cyrano.
425
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,590
Ragueneau.
426
00:23:26,150 --> 00:23:27,910
Oh, thank goodness
you're still here.
427
00:23:27,950 --> 00:23:29,180
Well, what's the matter.
428
00:23:29,210 --> 00:23:30,410
I'm afraid to go home.
429
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,040
Why?
430
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,050
You know those
comic verses I wrote?
431
00:23:33,090 --> 00:23:34,830
About the congregation.
432
00:23:34,860 --> 00:23:37,260
Cyrano, he's hired ruffians.
Bullies.
433
00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:39,740
A hundred, waiting for
me on the way home.
434
00:23:39,780 --> 00:23:41,620
They're gonna beat me.
Cane me!
435
00:23:41,650 --> 00:23:44,450
Please, would you permit me
to spend the night with you?
436
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,420
A hundred men,
is that all?
437
00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:49,610
Ragueneau, you're
going home tonight.
438
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,630
But they're armed.
They're cutthroats!
439
00:23:51,690 --> 00:23:53,620
Take this lantern.
Forward march.
440
00:23:53,660 --> 00:23:55,760
I say that I'll be the man
to see you to your shop.
441
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,150
Not you, I want no help from you.
442
00:23:57,190 --> 00:23:58,510
For even for a hundred,
you're mad.
443
00:23:58,550 --> 00:23:59,730
Those are the odds I want.
444
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,420
Why for this pastry cook?
445
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,820
First, because this
pastry cook is a friend of mine.
446
00:24:04,930 --> 00:24:07,820
Second, because this
pastry cook is also a poet.
447
00:24:07,950 --> 00:24:09,360
And, most important,
448
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:12,000
if anything should
happen to this pastry cook,
449
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:16,870
tomorrow morning at seven
his shop will be closed.
450
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:19,590
Goodnight.
451
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,060
(a whistle signal)
452
00:25:37,430 --> 00:25:38,480
Cyrano. Help!
453
00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:43,580
Look out behind you!
454
00:26:22,750 --> 00:26:23,810
I have been robbed.
455
00:26:24,370 --> 00:26:26,070
- There are no hundred here.
456
00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:32,360
It's, it's, it's...
457
00:26:33,820 --> 00:26:35,230
Be quick. Inside.
458
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,550
Bolt the door!
459
00:26:48,510 --> 00:26:49,310
Ah!
460
00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:08,660
Yah!
461
00:27:10,460 --> 00:27:12,210
(ruffians shouting)
462
00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:01,010
Ah!
463
00:28:03,860 --> 00:28:04,560
Awk.
464
00:28:05,860 --> 00:28:08,030
(ruffians shouting)
465
00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:17,280
(Le Bret)
- Cyrano!
466
00:28:17,310 --> 00:28:18,320
- Hold!
467
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:34,330
Ah.
468
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,420
How do you feel?
469
00:28:37,460 --> 00:28:39,540
Oh, pleasantly exhilarated.
470
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:42,990
- Come, I know a little tavern not far...
- Where's Ragueneau?
471
00:28:43,310 --> 00:28:46,320
Ragueneau?
Ragueneau!
472
00:28:46,730 --> 00:28:49,510
Little boy, come out.
All's well!
473
00:28:50,330 --> 00:28:51,990
- Is it over?
- All over.
474
00:28:52,220 --> 00:28:53,020
Really?
475
00:28:54,500 --> 00:28:55,340
So soon?
476
00:28:55,370 --> 00:28:56,140
Ha, ha, ha.
477
00:28:56,170 --> 00:28:59,480
Oh, if only I'd had my sword.
How many did we kill?
478
00:28:59,510 --> 00:29:00,330
Oh, about eight.
479
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:00,960
Eight.
480
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,410
Eight!
481
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,420
Ohhhh.
482
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,910
This.....gentleman
begins to annoy me.
483
00:29:31,980 --> 00:29:33,630
(Ragueneau is a poet, too.)
484
00:29:35,060 --> 00:29:40,010
No. The sauce and meat must rhyme.
Add a pinch of marigold and thyme.
485
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,960
Your house, of course, needs a stronger roof.
Eh? There's proof.
486
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:45,830
Cyrano.
487
00:29:46,830 --> 00:29:47,500
Cyrano.
488
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,100
Come in and eat.
489
00:29:49,130 --> 00:29:51,110
- What time is it?
- Not quite seven.
490
00:29:51,130 --> 00:29:54,140
Oh, now, please, Cyrano.
A man without breakfast is like...
491
00:29:54,180 --> 00:29:56,720
No.
Could she have changed her mind?
492
00:29:56,750 --> 00:29:57,920
Aw, she wouldn't dare.
493
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,900
We were magnificent last night.
494
00:30:00,370 --> 00:30:01,830
And at the theater, too.
495
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,320
'Then, as I end the refrain'....
496
00:30:04,350 --> 00:30:07,390
When she arrives.
Where can we converse undisturbed?
497
00:30:07,420 --> 00:30:09,190
Wherever you like.
My shop is yours.
498
00:30:09,310 --> 00:30:11,900
The little dining room
is quite romantic.
499
00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:14,490
'Thrust home!'
Yea gods, what a line.
500
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,650
- 'Then as I end the re....'
- Vanish.
501
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:18,110
- Uh, huh, she's come?
- Shhhh.
502
00:30:18,140 --> 00:30:18,920
I swear.
503
00:30:27,340 --> 00:30:28,170
Welcome.
504
00:30:38,470 --> 00:30:40,510
- A pardon, one word.
- Oh, yes?
505
00:30:40,550 --> 00:30:41,520
Have you a good digestion?
506
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,430
Oh, wonderful.
507
00:30:43,290 --> 00:30:48,800
Eh, here are some éclairs.
Uh, creampuffs.
508
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,160
Some, uh, jellyrolls.
And do you like nature?
509
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,400
I adore it.
510
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,760
Go out and eat these in the sunshine.
Do not return.
511
00:30:56,790 --> 00:30:57,440
But why?
512
00:30:57,470 --> 00:30:58,910
Until you have finished them.
513
00:30:58,940 --> 00:31:00,340
(outside)
- What do I do then?
514
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,750
(door closes)
515
00:31:09,970 --> 00:31:13,000
Blessed above all others be the hour
when you remember to remember me,
516
00:31:13,230 --> 00:31:15,800
and came to tell me......what?
517
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,750
To tell you that....
518
00:31:19,060 --> 00:31:21,810
Before I dare tell you I....
519
00:31:22,020 --> 00:31:24,850
Are you, I wonder, still
the same big brother almost
520
00:31:24,890 --> 00:31:26,720
that you used to be
when we were children,
521
00:31:26,750 --> 00:31:29,570
playing by the pond
in the old garden down there?
522
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,570
At Bergerac.
Those lovely summers.
523
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,700
You use to make swords
out of bulrushes.
524
00:31:33,740 --> 00:31:35,810
And you, dandelions
also golden hair.
525
00:31:35,890 --> 00:31:37,930
In those days
I could tell you everything.
526
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,860
And you did
everything I wished.
527
00:31:40,060 --> 00:31:44,830
Little Roxane, a sweet tyrone
with short skirts and long hair.
528
00:31:44,860 --> 00:31:45,780
Was I pretty?
529
00:31:49,830 --> 00:31:51,270
Not too plain.
530
00:31:52,150 --> 00:31:54,490
Sometimes when you had fallen
or hurt your hand,
531
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,670
you used to come running to me,
and I would be your mother and say,
532
00:31:57,710 --> 00:32:02,770
oh, with a very grownup voice,
'Now, what have you been doing to yourself?'
533
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,300
'Let me see.'
534
00:32:05,890 --> 00:32:07,060
- Oh!
- No one that.
535
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:08,230
Wait, let me see.
536
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,540
Still. At your age?
537
00:32:12,010 --> 00:32:13,810
Now, how did you do that?
538
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,910
Playing with the big boys
at the Place de Neanne.
539
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:18,410
Come here.
540
00:32:19,330 --> 00:32:21,020
Such a wise little mother.
541
00:32:21,030 --> 00:32:24,740
And tell me, while I wash this
blood away, how many you played with?
542
00:32:24,770 --> 00:32:26,840
- Oh, about a hundred.
- A hundred?
543
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,950
- More or less.
- It can't be.
544
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:31,080
No.
545
00:32:31,670 --> 00:32:33,720
Tell me what you were
going to tell me.....
546
00:32:34,130 --> 00:32:35,320
if you dared.
547
00:32:36,190 --> 00:32:38,060
I think I do dare, now.
548
00:32:38,860 --> 00:32:41,450
It seems so like
those happy days long ago.
549
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,780
Yes, I dare.
550
00:32:44,350 --> 00:32:47,190
Listen....I love someone.
551
00:32:47,850 --> 00:32:48,440
Yes?
552
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,150
Someone who does not know.
553
00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:51,340
Yes?
554
00:32:51,450 --> 00:32:54,970
Someone who loves me, too,
but is afraid of me and keeps away
555
00:32:55,010 --> 00:32:56,340
and never says one word.
556
00:32:57,570 --> 00:32:58,270
(softly)
Yes.
557
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,210
Give my that hand.
558
00:33:01,870 --> 00:33:03,080
Why, how hot it is.
559
00:33:04,390 --> 00:33:06,390
Yes, he loves me.
I am sure of it.
560
00:33:06,740 --> 00:33:07,530
(softly)
Yes.
561
00:33:08,110 --> 00:33:10,730
And he is a soldier, too,
in your own regiment,
562
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,710
your own company.
563
00:33:11,740 --> 00:33:12,750
(loud)
Yes.
564
00:33:13,340 --> 00:33:14,480
Such a man.
565
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,280
He is proud, noble, young, brave,
566
00:33:18,610 --> 00:33:19,700
beautiful!
567
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:22,550
(softly)
Beautiful.
568
00:33:25,180 --> 00:33:26,040
What's the matter?
569
00:33:26,460 --> 00:33:27,160
Oh, nothing.
570
00:33:28,110 --> 00:33:30,210
It's this, my hand.
571
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,280
I love him.
That is all.
572
00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:38,230
And I have never seen him
anywhere except in the theater.
573
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,710
You have never spoken?
574
00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:42,790
Only with our hearts.
575
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,080
Well, then, how do you know?
576
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:50,270
Well, people talk about people,
and I hear things, and...
577
00:33:51,370 --> 00:33:52,700
and I know.
578
00:33:53,890 --> 00:33:55,540
(firmly)
You say he is in the guards?
579
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,530
His name?
580
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,270
Baron Christian de Neuvillette.
581
00:34:02,790 --> 00:34:03,910
You know him?
582
00:34:04,290 --> 00:34:05,650
He is not in the guards.
583
00:34:05,690 --> 00:34:07,020
Yes, since last week.
584
00:34:07,770 --> 00:34:09,550
He is only lately
come to Paris...
585
00:34:09,730 --> 00:34:11,140
from Normandy.
586
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,070
So soon.
So soon we lose our hearts.
587
00:34:15,570 --> 00:34:16,160
What...
(door opens)
588
00:34:16,190 --> 00:34:17,220
(Duenna)
- Monsieur de Bergerac
589
00:34:17,250 --> 00:34:18,850
- I have eaten all the cakes.
590
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,280
Good.
Now, go out and enjoy nature.
591
00:34:23,020 --> 00:34:26,110
But my dear child, you love
only words, wit, poetry.
592
00:34:26,150 --> 00:34:29,950
Why, for all you know,
the man may be a savage or a fool.
593
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:34,290
Not with such eyes.
I read his soul in them.
594
00:34:35,270 --> 00:34:38,360
Yes, all our souls are
written in our eyes.
595
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,720
And you have brought
me here to tell me this?
596
00:34:42,980 --> 00:34:45,890
I do not yet quite understand,
madam, the reason for your confidence.
597
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:52,640
They say, that in your company,
it frightens me, you are all Gascon.
598
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,850
We pick a quarrel with any outsider
who intrudes himself.
599
00:34:54,890 --> 00:34:56,250
Is that what you have heard?
600
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,150
- I'm so afraid for him.
- Not without reason.
601
00:34:59,190 --> 00:35:03,730
And I thought you...
it's you whom they all respect and fear.
602
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,590
You want me to defend
your little Baron?
603
00:35:08,630 --> 00:35:09,740
Will you?
604
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:11,670
Just for me.
605
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,440
Because I have always
been your friend.
606
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,790
And this is what
you want of me?
607
00:35:16,820 --> 00:35:18,430
Will you be his friend?
608
00:35:20,450 --> 00:35:22,200
I will be his friend.
609
00:35:22,230 --> 00:35:23,040
And never let him
fight a duel.
610
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,060
No, never.
611
00:35:24,090 --> 00:35:24,750
Promise?
612
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:26,980
I promise.
613
00:35:27,420 --> 00:35:30,860
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
I knew I could rely on you.
614
00:35:33,930 --> 00:35:35,410
Well, now I must go.
615
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,480
Oh, you never told
me about last night.
616
00:35:43,970 --> 00:35:45,790
Why, you must
have been a hero.
617
00:35:45,820 --> 00:35:50,240
Have write and tell me all about it,
and...about himself.
618
00:35:51,420 --> 00:35:54,330
Oh, you are a darling.
We are great friends, are we not?
619
00:35:54,860 --> 00:35:56,330
He must write to me.
620
00:35:58,390 --> 00:36:01,490
A hundred men against one.
You shall tell me the whole story
621
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:02,980
someday when we have time.
622
00:36:06,570 --> 00:36:10,170
A hundred men.
What courage!
623
00:36:14,030 --> 00:36:16,810
I have done better.
624
00:36:21,820 --> 00:36:22,450
Well?
625
00:36:24,890 --> 00:36:26,050
Let us leave this place.
626
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,620
But the whole company
is on its way here.
627
00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:28,330
Oh, no.
628
00:36:28,370 --> 00:36:30,870
On my heels. Naturally I told
them all about last night.
629
00:36:30,900 --> 00:36:31,880
They're wild.
630
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:32,830
Here they are.
631
00:36:32,860 --> 00:36:35,420
- Yes, but, why did you?
- Perhaps I can stop them.
632
00:36:36,210 --> 00:36:36,870
Never mind.
633
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,220
Cyrano!
634
00:36:39,260 --> 00:36:46,070
(greetings and cheers to Cyrano)
635
00:36:49,130 --> 00:36:51,570
Eight dead men in the street.
Scandalous.
636
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,010
You know my edict
against dueling, nephew.
637
00:36:54,050 --> 00:36:55,580
I expect to have it enforced.
638
00:36:55,610 --> 00:36:58,940
Furthermore, I wish to know
who was responsible for last night's
639
00:36:58,970 --> 00:37:00,410
outrage at the Place de Neanne.
640
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:01,840
I understand, Your Eminence.
641
00:37:02,050 --> 00:37:04,180
Very well.
And now I have news
642
00:37:04,210 --> 00:37:06,310
that should be more
to you liking.
643
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:13,410
I fear, in confidence, our
uneasy armistice with Spain is doomed.
644
00:37:13,450 --> 00:37:14,410
My colonelcy?
645
00:37:14,450 --> 00:37:16,670
You commission has been prepared.
646
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:18,890
Oh, thank you, uncle, thank you.
647
00:37:19,230 --> 00:37:20,630
Oh, one thing more.
648
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,600
Last night at the theater,
the duel in rhyme,
649
00:37:24,790 --> 00:37:26,970
that guardsman with a nose.
650
00:37:27,010 --> 00:37:30,240
- Bergerac, that impossible Gascon.
- Yes, impossible.
651
00:37:30,260 --> 00:37:32,300
- His treatment of Montfleury.
- Abominable.
652
00:37:32,330 --> 00:37:35,230
- The arrogance with which he closed the play.
- Incredible.
653
00:37:35,260 --> 00:37:38,130
- It will be a miracle if the Vicomte survives.
- A sorrow.
654
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,720
What will you do
with him, Your Eminence?
655
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,100
I? Nothing.
656
00:37:41,140 --> 00:37:43,290
I thought I might
leave that to you.
657
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,500
To me?
658
00:37:44,530 --> 00:37:48,270
Yes. Place him somewhere
in your service,
659
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:49,890
with a comfortable allowance.
660
00:37:49,930 --> 00:37:51,390
He looked a little threadbare.
661
00:37:51,430 --> 00:37:55,020
I...You...But, Your Eminence.
You detest dueling.
662
00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:55,960
Of course I do.
663
00:37:56,350 --> 00:37:58,070
Why didn't you prevent it?
664
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,350
I should much prefer
that monsieur de Beregrac
665
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,300
live by the pen,
rather than die by the sword.
666
00:38:06,590 --> 00:38:08,470
Do you not agree, Antoine?
667
00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:12,560
By all means, Your Eminence.
By all means.
668
00:38:14,830 --> 00:38:21,650
'And then, as I end the refrain...
thrust home.'
669
00:38:24,790 --> 00:38:28,740
(Carousing at Ragueneau's)
670
00:38:33,220 --> 00:38:39,860
(noisy celebration of Cyrano's
defeat of 'a hundred' ruffians)
671
00:38:44,210 --> 00:38:46,580
(Antoine Comte de Guiche enters)
672
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:48,620
Monsieur de Bergerac.
673
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,390
Your Excellency.
674
00:38:51,970 --> 00:38:54,750
I have come to express my....
675
00:38:54,790 --> 00:38:58,550
admiration for both
your exploits last night.
676
00:38:58,590 --> 00:39:01,290
Indeed. Thank you.
677
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,900
My dear fellow,
we may have had our differences,
678
00:39:04,930 --> 00:39:07,550
but I am disposed
to forget them.
679
00:39:07,570 --> 00:39:09,710
That is very generous
of you, sir.
680
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:10,560
No, truly.
681
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,970
You are, it seems, a man
of many skills.
682
00:39:14,010 --> 00:39:17,350
A rare combination
soldier and poet.
683
00:39:18,060 --> 00:39:21,750
- Would you care to join my following?
- No, sir.
684
00:39:21,790 --> 00:39:23,260
I do not follow.
685
00:39:23,770 --> 00:39:25,980
I am told you have
written a play.
686
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,510
As you know, my uncle,
the Cardinal, is also a dramatist.
687
00:39:29,540 --> 00:39:30,990
I might help you there.
688
00:39:31,150 --> 00:39:34,050
Cyrano, now at last
you can have it performed.
689
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,200
Why not?
690
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:36,620
I could take it to him.
691
00:39:37,860 --> 00:39:39,330
Really?
692
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,460
Of course.
Let him rewrite a few lines
693
00:39:41,490 --> 00:39:43,770
here and there, and
he'll find a theater for you.
694
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,230
Rewrite...my lines?
695
00:39:47,670 --> 00:39:49,150
Impossible.
696
00:39:49,190 --> 00:39:52,040
Uh, when he likes a thing,
he pays well.
697
00:39:52,070 --> 00:39:53,240
Yes, but not so well as I.
698
00:39:53,270 --> 00:39:55,460
When I have made a line
that sings itself
699
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:57,220
I pay myself a hundred times.
700
00:39:57,250 --> 00:39:58,940
You are proud, my friend.
701
00:39:58,970 --> 00:40:00,020
You have observed that?
702
00:40:00,060 --> 00:40:02,460
- Cyrano.
See what we found in the street.
703
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:05,140
Plumes dropped in their flight
by those fine birds
704
00:40:05,170 --> 00:40:06,860
who showed their
tail feathers!
705
00:40:06,890 --> 00:40:08,590
(laughter)
706
00:40:08,620 --> 00:40:10,180
The man who hired
those scoundrels,
707
00:40:10,210 --> 00:40:12,010
he must be an
angry man today.
708
00:40:12,050 --> 00:40:13,430
Who was it?
Do you know?
709
00:40:13,850 --> 00:40:14,790
It was I.
710
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,870
I hired them to do the sort
of work we do not soil our hands with.
711
00:40:20,660 --> 00:40:22,940
Punishing an insolent poet.
712
00:40:22,970 --> 00:40:25,610
They ought to be mounted
before they spoil.
713
00:40:25,650 --> 00:40:27,850
(laughter)
What shall we do with them?
714
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:36,460
Sir, will you not return these
to your friends?
715
00:40:40,310 --> 00:40:42,190
Have you read Don Quixote?
716
00:40:42,230 --> 00:40:44,650
I have and found
myself the hero.
717
00:40:44,690 --> 00:40:47,770
Be so good as to read once more
the capture of the windmills.
718
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,010
Chapter 13.
719
00:40:50,150 --> 00:40:52,200
Windmills, remember,
if you fight with them...
720
00:40:52,230 --> 00:40:56,590
may swing round their huge arms
and cast you down into the mire.
721
00:40:56,630 --> 00:40:59,010
Or up among the stars.
722
00:41:01,250 --> 00:41:01,970
Gentlemen.
723
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:03,320
Gentlemen.
724
00:41:03,570 --> 00:41:04,550
Gentlemen.
725
00:41:05,220 --> 00:41:06,610
You've done it, now.
726
00:41:06,650 --> 00:41:07,860
You've made your fortune.
727
00:41:07,890 --> 00:41:09,070
He was willing to forget.
728
00:41:09,490 --> 00:41:11,180
There you go again, growling.
729
00:41:11,210 --> 00:41:13,460
Yesss,
this latest pose of yours,
730
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:16,070
ruining every opportunity
that comes you way,
731
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:17,100
becomes exaggerated.
732
00:41:17,140 --> 00:41:18,250
Very well, then, I exaggerate.
733
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:19,710
There are certain things
in this world
734
00:41:19,740 --> 00:41:21,100
a man does well
to carry to extremes.
735
00:41:21,140 --> 00:41:23,710
Your precious independence.
Your white plume.
736
00:41:23,740 --> 00:41:25,410
How do you expect
to succeed in life?
737
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,400
What would you have me do?
738
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,590
Seek for the patronage
of some great man
739
00:41:28,630 --> 00:41:31,880
and like a creeping vine
on a tall tree crawl upward
740
00:41:31,910 --> 00:41:33,520
where I cannot stand alone?
741
00:41:33,940 --> 00:41:34,850
No, thank you.
742
00:41:35,210 --> 00:41:39,880
Be a buffoon in the vile hope
of teasing out a smile on some cold face.
743
00:41:40,340 --> 00:41:41,710
No, thank you.
744
00:41:42,050 --> 00:41:44,260
Eat a toad for breakfast
every morning.
745
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:47,530
Make my knees calloused.
Cultivate a supple spine.
746
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,320
Wear out my belly
groveling in the dust.
747
00:41:49,590 --> 00:41:50,400
No, thank you.
748
00:41:50,860 --> 00:41:54,880
With my left hand scratch the back
of any swine that roots up gold for me
749
00:41:54,910 --> 00:41:58,910
while my right, too proud to know
his partner's business, takes in the fee.
750
00:41:58,940 --> 00:41:59,920
No, thank you.
751
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,810
Shall I use the fire God gave me
to burn incense all day long?
752
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,020
No, thank you.
753
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,410
Struggle to insinuate my name
into the columns of the Gazette?
754
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:13,250
Calculate, scheme, be afraid?
Love more to make a visit than a poem?
755
00:42:13,290 --> 00:42:15,990
Seek introductions, favors,
influences?
756
00:42:16,020 --> 00:42:17,050
No, thank you.
757
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,270
No, I thank you, and
again I thank you.
758
00:42:23,930 --> 00:42:30,320
But, to sing, to laugh, to dream,
to walk in my own way,
759
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,510
free with and eye
to see things as they are.
760
00:42:33,380 --> 00:42:35,240
A voice that means manhood.
761
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,640
To cut my have
the right shoes.
762
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:46,150
And a word, a yes, a no,
to fight, or write,
763
00:42:46,830 --> 00:42:48,440
but never to make
a line I have not heard
764
00:42:48,470 --> 00:42:49,780
in my own heart.
765
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,380
To travel any
road under the sun,
766
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,780
under the stars,
767
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,520
nor care if fame or fortune
lie beyond the bourne.
768
00:43:00,370 --> 00:43:02,250
Yet, with all modesty to say,
769
00:43:03,250 --> 00:43:05,830
my soul be satisfied
with flowers,
770
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:08,000
with weeds,
771
00:43:09,210 --> 00:43:10,840
with thorns, even,
772
00:43:11,910 --> 00:43:14,940
but gather them in the one garden
you may call your own.
773
00:43:16,230 --> 00:43:18,450
In a word, I'm too proud
to be a parasite.
774
00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:21,470
And if mine intellect the germ
that grows towering to heaven
775
00:43:21,500 --> 00:43:22,770
like the mountain pine
776
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,570
I stand not high, it may be,
777
00:43:27,260 --> 00:43:28,460
but alone.
778
00:43:28,500 --> 00:43:31,170
Alone, yes, but why
go about making enemies?
779
00:43:32,100 --> 00:43:35,850
Watching other people
making friends...everywhere,
780
00:43:35,890 --> 00:43:37,980
as a dog makes friends.
781
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,550
I mark the manner of
these canine courtesies,
782
00:43:41,580 --> 00:43:46,770
and think, here comes,
thank heaven, another enemy.
783
00:43:46,810 --> 00:43:52,760
Yes, tell this to all the world,
and then to me say very softly
784
00:43:52,790 --> 00:43:55,540
that she loves you not.
785
00:43:58,830 --> 00:44:00,940
Let me be alone
for a moment.
786
00:44:03,990 --> 00:44:05,050
Cyrano, wait.
787
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,760
Give us your story
of the fight.
788
00:44:07,530 --> 00:44:08,400
Presently.
789
00:44:08,430 --> 00:44:10,010
No, the story, now!
790
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,970
Oh, let him alone.
There's time enough.
791
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,360
I want it now!
792
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,090
As an example for that young
tadpole sneaking out the doorway.
793
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,040
You, there.
794
00:44:25,310 --> 00:44:26,820
Are you addressing me?
795
00:44:28,190 --> 00:44:32,770
Yes, you flat-footed
Norman farmer.
796
00:44:36,190 --> 00:44:37,470
You wish something of me?
797
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:39,950
Listen, Monsieur de...de...de
whatever your name is.
798
00:44:39,980 --> 00:44:40,920
de Neuvillette!
799
00:44:41,090 --> 00:44:43,230
Baron Christan de Neuvillette.
800
00:44:43,270 --> 00:44:45,370
Very well, de Neuvillette.
801
00:44:45,670 --> 00:44:48,080
As you are a newcomer here,
you should know there is a
802
00:44:48,110 --> 00:44:52,300
certain subject or object, if you prefer,
that is never mentioned among us.
803
00:44:52,340 --> 00:44:53,340
And that is....?
804
00:44:53,370 --> 00:44:54,500
Look at me!
805
00:44:54,540 --> 00:44:55,980
(touching his nose)
806
00:44:56,020 --> 00:44:57,360
You understand?
807
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:58,670
You mean....?
808
00:44:58,700 --> 00:45:01,090
Thus we never speak that word.
809
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,390
To even breathe it is
to have to do with him.
810
00:45:04,420 --> 00:45:08,760
He has exterminated several
whose mere tone of voice suggested...
811
00:45:08,790 --> 00:45:12,920
Would you die before your time?
Just mention anything convex.
812
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,530
Or cartilaginous.
813
00:45:14,570 --> 00:45:18,540
One word. One syllable.
One gesture. Nay, one sneeze.
814
00:45:18,570 --> 00:45:21,330
And your handkerchief
becomes your winding sheet.
815
00:45:24,110 --> 00:45:24,920
Captain.
816
00:45:25,430 --> 00:45:26,290
Sir?
817
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:30,090
What is the proper thing to do
when Gascons grow too boastful?
818
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,820
Prove to them that one may
be a Norman and still have courage.
819
00:45:33,850 --> 00:45:35,100
I thank you.
820
00:45:41,330 --> 00:45:43,360
Come on, Cyrano, your story.
821
00:45:44,420 --> 00:45:47,330
(shouts of encouragement)
822
00:45:47,740 --> 00:45:49,540
Now, let me see.
Where shall we begin?
823
00:45:50,450 --> 00:45:52,510
I followed with our host
to meet those scoundrels
824
00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:53,640
not knowing where
they might attack.
825
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,340
No lamps in those narrow
back streets.
826
00:45:57,500 --> 00:45:58,600
No moon in the sky.
827
00:45:59,340 --> 00:46:01,220
Dark. Everything dark.
828
00:46:01,430 --> 00:46:04,040
It was so dark, Mon Dieux,
you could not see beyond...
829
00:46:04,070 --> 00:46:05,470
Your nose!
830
00:46:05,850 --> 00:46:08,480
(Christian shows his courage.)
831
00:46:25,250 --> 00:46:33,250
Who...is that...man...there?
832
00:46:34,260 --> 00:46:35,380
- A new recruit.
833
00:46:36,070 --> 00:46:37,550
- Arrived last week.
834
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,080
A recruit, eh?
835
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:41,940
Ha, ha---.
836
00:46:41,970 --> 00:46:45,320
His name is Christian de Neuvillette.
837
00:46:45,350 --> 00:46:48,660
(Cyrano remembers his
promise to Roxane.)
838
00:46:58,510 --> 00:46:59,570
I see.
839
00:47:02,670 --> 00:47:03,510
Very well.
840
00:47:04,850 --> 00:47:06,470
As I was saying.
841
00:47:10,830 --> 00:47:11,930
It grew dark.
842
00:47:12,460 --> 00:47:15,180
You could not see
your hand before your eyes.
843
00:47:16,310 --> 00:47:19,470
I marched on thinking our all for
the sake of one amateur poet
844
00:47:19,510 --> 00:47:22,660
- who wrote a verse whenever he took a..
- A nose full.
845
00:47:24,370 --> 00:47:25,770
...whenever he took a notion.,
846
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,600
and might antagonize
some dangerous man.
847
00:47:28,630 --> 00:47:30,830
One powerful enough
to make me pay...
848
00:47:30,860 --> 00:47:31,980
Through the nose!
849
00:47:32,010 --> 00:47:33,090
...pay the piper!
850
00:47:33,410 --> 00:47:35,430
After all, I thought,
why am I putting in my..
851
00:47:35,470 --> 00:47:36,310
- Nose!
852
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:39,170
...putting in my oar in a quarrel
that was none of mine,
853
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,240
however now that I am here,
I may as well go through with it.
854
00:47:41,270 --> 00:47:42,840
Come Gascon, do your duty.
855
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,850
Suddenly a sword
flashed in the dark!
856
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:45,810
I caught it fair...
857
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:46,810
On the nose!
858
00:47:47,940 --> 00:47:49,130
...on my blade!
859
00:47:49,170 --> 00:47:50,530
Before I knew it,
there I was...
860
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:51,690
Rubbing noses!
861
00:47:51,730 --> 00:47:53,840
...crossing swords with
harvard's joy once.
862
00:47:53,870 --> 00:47:54,940
I had the bottom then...
863
00:47:54,980 --> 00:47:55,900
A nosegay!
864
00:47:55,940 --> 00:47:57,160
...a monstrous crab tree.
865
00:47:57,610 --> 00:48:00,170
(breathing heavily)
He went down for as a wave.
866
00:48:00,380 --> 00:48:00,990
I charged...
867
00:48:01,030 --> 00:48:02,590
Who was in the air hard.
868
00:48:02,620 --> 00:48:03,450
...at the two of them.
869
00:48:04,750 --> 00:48:05,900
Another lunged,
and I parried...
870
00:48:05,940 --> 00:48:07,220
Through your nose!
871
00:48:07,250 --> 00:48:09,310
Right out of here!
All of you go!
872
00:48:09,340 --> 00:48:10,120
Leave me with him.
873
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,660
To my arms, sir.
You have courage.
874
00:48:28,690 --> 00:48:29,880
- That pleases me.
- Why?
875
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,820
Come, do you not know
I am her brother?
876
00:48:31,850 --> 00:48:32,460
Whose?
877
00:48:32,500 --> 00:48:34,250
Hers. Roxane.
878
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:38,390
Brother?
879
00:48:39,260 --> 00:48:40,170
You?
880
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,150
Well, a distant cousin.
Much the same.
881
00:48:42,510 --> 00:48:44,450
- Then she has told you?
- Everything.
882
00:48:44,580 --> 00:48:46,680
- She loves me?
- Perhaps.
883
00:48:47,610 --> 00:48:49,950
My dear sir, more than I can say.
I am honored.
884
00:48:49,990 --> 00:48:52,040
- Rather sudden.
- Oh, please, forgive me.
885
00:48:52,260 --> 00:48:54,270
If you knew how
much I have admired you.
886
00:48:54,310 --> 00:48:57,620
- Yes, yes, and all those noses.
- Please. I apologize.
887
00:48:59,060 --> 00:49:00,680
Roxane expects a letter.
888
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:02,300
- From me?
- Yes, why not?
889
00:49:02,340 --> 00:49:03,180
Oh,, No.
890
00:49:03,530 --> 00:49:05,880
- Once I write, that ruins everything.
- Why?
891
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,020
Because, any schoolboy can write
to her more gracefully than I.
892
00:49:09,590 --> 00:49:10,730
A fool!
893
00:49:10,900 --> 00:49:14,560
- You did not attack me like a fool.
- Anyone can pick a quarrel.
894
00:49:14,740 --> 00:49:16,580
No, I'm never at loss
for words among men,
895
00:49:16,610 --> 00:49:21,260
but with any women...
paralyzed...speechless, dumb.
896
00:49:21,460 --> 00:49:23,600
I'm one of those
stammering idiots
897
00:49:23,630 --> 00:49:25,270
who can not court a woman.
898
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:26,170
Really?
899
00:49:26,810 --> 00:49:28,700
As for myself,
it seems to me that
900
00:49:28,730 --> 00:49:32,300
given the opportunity,
and if I put my mind to it,
901
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,390
I could do that..
rather well.
902
00:49:35,420 --> 00:49:37,870
Oh, is I had words to say
what I have here!
903
00:49:37,900 --> 00:49:39,450
If I were handsome
like you.
904
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,780
Together, we could make
one mighty hero of romance.
905
00:49:43,820 --> 00:49:45,330
If only I had your wit.
906
00:49:50,570 --> 00:49:51,710
Borrow it, then.
907
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:53,150
What?
908
00:49:54,670 --> 00:49:55,490
Tell me,
909
00:49:56,910 --> 00:49:59,770
would you dare repeat to her
the words I gave you day by day?
910
00:50:00,330 --> 00:50:02,420
Send to her
the letters that I write?
911
00:50:02,460 --> 00:50:04,800
I mean, that Roxane
should have no disillusionment.
912
00:50:05,180 --> 00:50:06,820
Come, shall we win her
both together?
913
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:07,800
For you?
914
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,970
- Why, Cyrano...
- Christian, why not?
915
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,850
I...I'm afraid.
916
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,030
Afraid that when you
have her all alone, you will lose her.
917
00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:16,420
Have not fear,
it is your self she loves.
918
00:50:16,450 --> 00:50:17,920
Give her yourself.
919
00:50:17,950 --> 00:50:23,670
Put into words,
my words...upon your lips.
920
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:25,180
Will you?
921
00:50:26,780 --> 00:50:28,030
Will you?
922
00:50:28,910 --> 00:50:30,740
Does it mean
so much to you?
923
00:50:30,770 --> 00:50:32,360
It means....
924
00:50:34,110 --> 00:50:37,060
It means a comedy,
a situation for a poet.
925
00:50:37,190 --> 00:50:38,350
Come, shall we collaborate?
926
00:50:38,390 --> 00:50:42,420
I'll be your cloak of darkness,
your enchanted sword,
927
00:50:42,460 --> 00:50:45,330
your ring to charm
the fairy princess.
928
00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:49,180
Think!
Is the prize not worth the danger?
929
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:52,980
My friend!
930
00:50:54,620 --> 00:50:55,740
My friend.
931
00:50:56,890 --> 00:51:00,100
Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
932
00:51:00,350 --> 00:51:03,650
Plucking the flowers,
we will keep the plant in bloom.
933
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,010
Thus do I love thee,
my darling.
934
00:51:08,890 --> 00:51:09,670
Idiot.
935
00:51:09,910 --> 00:51:12,200
There are a dozen
ways to read that line.
936
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:14,500
Can't you give it some meaning?
Any meaning!
937
00:51:14,530 --> 00:51:15,950
THUS do I love thee!
938
00:51:15,980 --> 00:51:17,280
Thus do "I" love thee.
939
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:18,550
Thus do I LOVE thee.
940
00:51:18,580 --> 00:51:20,930
Thus do I love THEE,
THEE, THEE.
941
00:51:22,580 --> 00:51:25,680
Who knows your smile
has known a perfect thing.
942
00:51:25,710 --> 00:51:28,400
You are a white rose,
wherein love lies in ambush
943
00:51:28,430 --> 00:51:30,180
for its natural prey.
944
00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:33,760
In the garden of my heart,
you are the most...
945
00:51:33,930 --> 00:51:35,680
eh, the most....
946
00:51:37,450 --> 00:51:39,750
fragrant blossom.
947
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,780
As the tender sapling
thirsts for rain,
948
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,900
as the eagle seeks the sky,
949
00:51:48,030 --> 00:51:51,050
as the wave
hurtles toward the shore,
950
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,990
my heart yearns for you.
951
00:51:54,460 --> 00:51:55,820
Good, good.
952
00:51:55,970 --> 00:51:58,740
You know, you're beginning
to have a feel for words.
953
00:51:58,770 --> 00:52:02,010
- Words. I'm sick of words.
- Those are your weapons.
954
00:52:02,050 --> 00:52:03,190
How else do you conquer?
955
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,130
Yes, but when, when?
956
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,190
They're fighting in the north, now.
You know that.
957
00:52:06,230 --> 00:52:07,690
The Regiment will be
called up any day,
958
00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:08,840
and I've never
even kissed her.
959
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,940
Patience, my boy, patience.
960
00:52:11,980 --> 00:52:13,110
I've been patient.
961
00:52:13,140 --> 00:52:16,280
Why, she sees the Compte de Guiche
as often as she does me.
962
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,120
Do you suppose
she's playing with me?
963
00:52:21,260 --> 00:52:22,500
Making a fool of me?
964
00:52:23,850 --> 00:52:24,880
Impossible.
965
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,210
How can you say?
How do you know?
966
00:52:27,210 --> 00:52:31,390
Cyrano, you have her confidence.
You could find out.
967
00:52:39,300 --> 00:52:40,690
Nonsense, I say.
968
00:52:42,260 --> 00:52:43,440
Oh, very well.
969
00:52:43,870 --> 00:52:45,190
I'll scout the terrain.
970
00:52:45,230 --> 00:52:47,200
Listen, Cyrano,
intelligently, discreetly.
971
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:48,160
Yes.
972
00:52:48,190 --> 00:52:49,340
With finesse.
973
00:52:52,010 --> 00:52:55,510
And, uh, what do you think
of Christian after all these weeks?
974
00:52:55,620 --> 00:52:58,030
He is beautiful,
but he's brilliant.
975
00:52:58,070 --> 00:52:59,760
- And I love him.
- Good!
976
00:52:59,870 --> 00:53:01,750
Uh, do you find him intellectual?
977
00:53:01,790 --> 00:53:03,600
- More so than you, even.
- Huh?
978
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,470
- Oh, I didn't mean.
- No, no, no, I am glad.
979
00:53:06,500 --> 00:53:09,290
No man ever so beautifully
said those things.
980
00:53:09,330 --> 00:53:11,900
Those pretty nothings
to everything.
981
00:53:12,310 --> 00:53:15,780
Sometimes, he,. he, he falls
into a reverie.
982
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,110
His inspiration..fails.
983
00:53:20,050 --> 00:53:23,940
But, then all at once,
he will say something absolutely...
984
00:53:23,980 --> 00:53:25,370
Ah!
985
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:26,760
Really?
986
00:53:27,470 --> 00:53:28,910
How like a man!
987
00:53:28,940 --> 00:53:32,220
You think because a man
has a handsome face he must be a fool.
988
00:53:33,330 --> 00:53:34,790
Not necessarily.
989
00:53:34,830 --> 00:53:38,410
Uh, he talks well about, uh,
matters of the heart?
990
00:53:38,450 --> 00:53:42,420
He does not talk.
He rhapsodizes. He dreams.
991
00:53:42,460 --> 00:53:46,360
Only the other night he said to me,
extemporaneously, mind you.
992
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:47,220
Oh, of course.
993
00:53:47,980 --> 00:53:50,660
'Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
994
00:53:50,700 --> 00:53:54,760
'Plucking the flowers
we will keep the plants in bloom.'
995
00:53:55,720 --> 00:53:56,730
Well?
996
00:53:56,770 --> 00:53:58,530
Umm, passable.
997
00:53:58,950 --> 00:54:00,010
He writes well?
998
00:54:00,050 --> 00:54:02,080
Wonderfully, listen:
999
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,510
'Knowing you have in store
more heart to give
1000
00:54:05,550 --> 00:54:08,160
- 'than I to find heart room...'
- The first he has too much heart,
1001
00:54:08,190 --> 00:54:10,400
then too little. Just how much heart
does he need?
1002
00:54:10,470 --> 00:54:11,740
You are teasing.
1003
00:54:11,870 --> 00:54:12,870
You are jealous!
1004
00:54:12,910 --> 00:54:13,690
Jealous?
1005
00:54:13,730 --> 00:54:14,440
Yes.
1006
00:54:14,470 --> 00:54:15,840
Poets are all alike.
1007
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:19,660
Would you dare
criticize these lines?
1008
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:25,100
'Only believe that unto you
my whole heart gives one cry.
1009
00:54:25,540 --> 00:54:29,470
'And writing, writes down
more than you receive.
1010
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,010
'Sending you kisses
through my fingertips.
1011
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,020
'Lady, oh, read my letter
with your lips.'
1012
00:54:39,340 --> 00:54:43,820
Yes, those last lines,
but he overwrites.
1013
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:44,970
Listen to this.
1014
00:54:45,010 --> 00:54:46,000
Do you know
them all by heart?
1015
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,070
Every one.
1016
00:54:47,110 --> 00:54:48,500
Well, I may call
that flattering.
1017
00:54:48,530 --> 00:54:49,310
He is a master.
1018
00:54:49,350 --> 00:54:51,850
- Oh, come..
- Yes, a master.
1019
00:54:51,860 --> 00:54:55,270
Huh, a master,...
if you will.
1020
00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:00,520
And, uh, when do you
bestow the laurel wreath?
1021
00:55:00,540 --> 00:55:05,290
How many prodigies of poetry
must this new Hercules perform?
1022
00:55:05,390 --> 00:55:06,490
I do not know.
1023
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:11,580
My friend, you men own the world
and all that's in it.
1024
00:55:12,020 --> 00:55:17,990
Woman is at best a prize, a property
valued much the same as a horse or a dog,
1025
00:55:18,150 --> 00:55:22,010
unlike the pear and sheen of skin
and soundness of teeth and limb.
1026
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:27,870
Well, if I must be chattel,
then the terms shall be mine,
1027
00:55:27,910 --> 00:55:31,480
and the price according
to my own values.
1028
00:55:31,510 --> 00:55:32,670
There.
1029
00:55:34,070 --> 00:55:35,460
I see.
1030
00:55:37,060 --> 00:55:39,880
Christian tells me
that you meet tonight.
1031
00:55:42,510 --> 00:55:45,210
What would you have him
speak about?
1032
00:55:46,230 --> 00:55:47,910
Oh, nothing,
1033
00:55:48,260 --> 00:55:49,530
and everything.
1034
00:55:49,980 --> 00:55:54,140
I shall say, speak to me
of love in your own words.
1035
00:55:54,550 --> 00:55:56,810
Improvise, rhapsodize.
1036
00:55:57,540 --> 00:55:58,790
Be eloquent.
1037
00:55:59,910 --> 00:56:01,540
But you will not tell him,
will you?
1038
00:56:01,570 --> 00:56:03,270
Ah, perish the thought.
1039
00:56:03,590 --> 00:56:06,370
Madame, Compte de Guiche.
1040
00:56:10,720 --> 00:56:12,820
(Sigh)
Madame.
1041
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:16,880
Monsieur.
1042
00:56:17,770 --> 00:56:18,770
Madame.
1043
00:56:21,570 --> 00:56:24,270
Monsieur.
(Crunch)
1044
00:56:33,430 --> 00:56:35,090
- Christian, quick.
- No.
1045
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,030
There's still time to learn your lines.
No.
1046
00:56:37,070 --> 00:56:39,760
I have some brilliant phrases for you,
brilliant, sensitive...
1047
00:56:39,790 --> 00:56:40,500
No.
1048
00:56:41,150 --> 00:56:42,160
I'll have not more of it.
1049
00:56:42,190 --> 00:56:44,250
Taking all my words, my sentences
all from you,
1050
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,490
- making our love a little comedy.
- Don't you real...
1051
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,480
It was a game at first,
but now she cares.
1052
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:49,390
Huh?
1053
00:56:49,430 --> 00:56:50,750
Thanks to you.
Uh.
1054
00:56:50,790 --> 00:56:53,060
I'm not afraid any longer.
I'll speak for myself, now.
1055
00:56:53,090 --> 00:56:53,720
Oh, undoubtedly.
1056
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,990
I will. You shall see!
1057
00:56:56,500 --> 00:56:59,110
Besides, I know enough
to take a woman in my arms,
1058
00:56:59,150 --> 00:57:00,870
and tonight, I will.
1059
00:57:04,070 --> 00:57:05,420
(knocking on door)
- Christian!
1060
00:57:05,450 --> 00:57:07,210
Thank you, my friend,
and goodbye.
1061
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:09,040
- Christian, I beg of you.
- Leave me!
1062
00:57:09,070 --> 00:57:10,830
- You're making a grave error.
- Go away!
1063
00:57:13,540 --> 00:57:14,540
So be it.
1064
00:57:16,950 --> 00:57:18,600
(door opens)
1065
00:57:20,300 --> 00:57:21,440
Christian.
1066
00:57:21,470 --> 00:57:22,580
Roxane.
1067
00:57:23,190 --> 00:57:25,330
I'm so glad you are early.
1068
00:57:26,430 --> 00:57:28,400
Let us stay out here
in the moonlight.
1069
00:57:29,150 --> 00:57:30,490
It's so pleasant.
1070
00:57:32,780 --> 00:57:33,630
Sit down.
1071
00:57:36,450 --> 00:57:37,720
There, so.
1072
00:57:40,770 --> 00:57:43,780
Now, speak to me.
1073
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:45,470
I love you.
1074
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,330
Yes, speak to me of love.
1075
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,390
I...love you.
1076
00:57:53,430 --> 00:57:55,640
Now, be eloquent.
Be brilliant for me.
1077
00:57:56,300 --> 00:57:57,940
Tonight of all nights.
1078
00:57:58,250 --> 00:58:01,560
I love you....so.
1079
00:58:03,610 --> 00:58:07,630
You have your scene.
Now, improvise, rhapsodize.
1080
00:58:07,660 --> 00:58:11,570
I love you...
very much!
1081
00:58:14,500 --> 00:58:17,600
I ask for cream,
and you give me milk and water.
1082
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:22,490
Tell me firstly,
how you love me.
1083
00:58:22,530 --> 00:58:23,780
Very much!
1084
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:26,440
Is that all you feel?
1085
00:58:26,470 --> 00:58:29,360
Your throat, if only
I might kiss it.
1086
00:58:29,390 --> 00:58:30,170
Christian!
1087
00:58:30,210 --> 00:58:31,520
But, Roxane, I love you.
1088
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:32,860
Again.
1089
00:58:32,890 --> 00:58:34,450
No, not again.
I do not love you.
1090
00:58:37,490 --> 00:58:38,540
That is better.
1091
00:58:39,380 --> 00:58:42,870
I...I adore you!
1092
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:43,870
Oh!
1093
00:58:44,570 --> 00:58:46,070
I know I grow absurd.
1094
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:48,870
And that distresses me as much
as if you had grown ugly!
1095
00:58:51,020 --> 00:58:54,910
Please. Gather your dreams
together into words.
1096
00:58:54,950 --> 00:58:57,830
I...um, I...
1097
00:58:57,870 --> 00:59:00,280
I know. You love me!
Good night!
1098
00:59:00,310 --> 00:59:01,440
Oh, but wait, please!
1099
00:59:01,470 --> 00:59:02,530
I was going to say...
1100
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:04,510
That you adore me.
Yes, I know that, too.
1101
00:59:04,540 --> 00:59:06,720
-No, go away.
- I....
1102
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,290
(door slams shut)
1103
00:59:25,170 --> 00:59:28,330
(Cyrano claps his hands)
1104
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:29,870
A great success.
1105
00:59:30,940 --> 00:59:31,720
Help me.
1106
00:59:31,750 --> 00:59:33,620
Not I.
Speak for yourself, my friend.
1107
00:59:33,660 --> 00:59:35,220
Why I...I can't.
1108
00:59:35,250 --> 00:59:38,040
Well, at least you know enough
to take a woman in your arms.
1109
00:59:38,070 --> 00:59:39,680
Oh, Cyrano, please!
1110
00:59:39,790 --> 00:59:41,610
What, and make your love
a little comedy.
1111
00:59:41,650 --> 00:59:44,060
Cyrano, I cannot live
unless I win her back, now.
1112
00:59:44,100 --> 00:59:44,610
This moment!
1113
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,890
This moment. How the devil
am I to teach you now, this mo...
1114
00:59:47,980 --> 00:59:48,940
(Christian)
Her window.
1115
00:59:49,510 --> 00:59:51,690
- Help me, Cyrano, help me.
- Shhhh.
1116
00:59:53,290 --> 00:59:54,800
(Cyrano)
It does seem fairly dark.
1117
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:55,780
(Christian)
Well? Well?
1118
00:59:57,490 --> 00:59:59,190
(Cyrano)
It is more than
you deserve.
1119
01:00:00,550 --> 01:00:02,010
(Cyrano)
I must try out what
can be done.
1120
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:03,040
(Cyrano)
Stand over there.
1121
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,500
(Cyrano)
Idiot, here, before the balcony.
I'll whisper you what to say.
1122
01:00:09,540 --> 01:00:11,380
- She'll hear..
- Shhhh. Call her.
1123
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:13,690
(Christian)
Roxane.
1124
01:00:14,950 --> 01:00:17,330
(Christian louder)
Roxane.
1125
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,220
(balcony window opens)
1126
01:00:21,690 --> 01:00:22,760
Who's calling?
1127
01:00:23,430 --> 01:00:24,240
Christian.
1128
01:00:24,570 --> 01:00:25,670
You again.
1129
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:27,420
I...had to tell you.
1130
01:00:27,710 --> 01:00:29,340
No. Go away.
You tell me nothing.
1131
01:00:29,370 --> 01:00:30,390
Please.
1132
01:00:30,430 --> 01:00:32,240
You do not
love me anymore.
1133
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:34,810
(Christian copies Cyrano)
No, not anymore.
1134
01:00:35,530 --> 01:00:37,340
I love you evermore,
1135
01:00:38,150 --> 01:00:40,050
and evermore and more.
1136
01:00:41,190 --> 01:00:42,640
Oh, a little better.
1137
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,160
Love grows and struggles
like an angry child.
1138
01:00:48,710 --> 01:00:50,620
Breaking my heart.
1139
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,070
His cradle...
1140
01:00:53,110 --> 01:00:54,630
Better still.
1141
01:00:55,230 --> 01:00:57,390
But such a babe is dangerous.
1142
01:00:57,910 --> 01:01:00,140
Why not have
smothered it newborn?
1143
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:03,290
And so I do.
1144
01:01:03,650 --> 01:01:05,290
And yet he lives.
1145
01:01:06,340 --> 01:01:08,910
I found as you sha...
you shall find
1146
01:01:10,250 --> 01:01:14,400
this newborn babe...
and infant Hercules!
1147
01:01:14,900 --> 01:01:15,430
Good.
1148
01:01:15,460 --> 01:01:16,820
Strong enough at birth
1149
01:01:17,740 --> 01:01:19,600
to strangle
those two serpents
1150
01:01:20,010 --> 01:01:20,550
doubt and
1151
01:01:20,590 --> 01:01:21,090
<i>What?</i>
1152
01:01:21,250 --> 01:01:22,600
pride!
1153
01:01:23,410 --> 01:01:24,440
Why, very good.
1154
01:01:25,330 --> 01:01:27,880
Only, tell me why
you speak so haltingly.
1155
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,580
Has your imagination
gone....lame?
1156
01:01:33,260 --> 01:01:35,130
(Cyrano)
This grows too difficult.
1157
01:01:35,530 --> 01:01:38,320
Your words tonight
hesitate, why?
1158
01:01:38,630 --> 01:01:42,970
Through the warm summer gloom,
they grope in darkness
1159
01:01:43,170 --> 01:01:44,690
toward the light of you.
1160
01:01:46,010 --> 01:01:47,860
My words are
heavy with honey,
1161
01:01:47,900 --> 01:01:49,360
like returning bees.
1162
01:01:50,190 --> 01:01:52,310
Yet they must fly so high.
1163
01:01:52,530 --> 01:01:54,140
Come nearer then.
Stand you on the bench.
1164
01:01:54,170 --> 01:01:55,000
No.
1165
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:56,190
Then I'll come down.
1166
01:01:56,230 --> 01:01:57,110
NO!
1167
01:01:57,570 --> 01:01:59,380
And why so great a no?
1168
01:02:00,490 --> 01:02:02,920
Let me enjoy the one
moment I ever...
1169
01:02:03,710 --> 01:02:07,110
My one chance
to speak to you...unseen.
1170
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:08,290
Unseen?
1171
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:09,740
Yes. Yes.
1172
01:02:10,070 --> 01:02:12,380
Night making all things
dimly beautiful
1173
01:02:12,410 --> 01:02:13,770
one veil over us both.
1174
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,040
You need no eyes
to hear my heart.
1175
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:20,410
Oh, tonight, let it seem as if
I speak for the first time.
1176
01:02:21,150 --> 01:02:22,110
For the first time?
1177
01:02:22,140 --> 01:02:23,000
Yes.
1178
01:02:23,940 --> 01:02:25,780
Your voice, even,
is not the same.
1179
01:02:25,810 --> 01:02:26,990
How should it be.
1180
01:02:27,030 --> 01:02:28,450
I have another
voice tonight.
1181
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:31,250
My own, myself,... daring!
1182
01:02:31,610 --> 01:02:32,610
Why daring?
1183
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,600
Because, what am I, what is any man
would he dare ask for you?
1184
01:02:36,630 --> 01:02:40,780
Therefore my heart has hidden behind
poetic words and tinsel phrases.
1185
01:02:41,260 --> 01:02:43,640
But are they not sweet,
those pretty phrases?
1186
01:02:43,670 --> 01:02:45,630
Not enough sweet
for you and me tonight.
1187
01:02:47,530 --> 01:02:49,240
You never spoke
to me like this.
1188
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,510
I tell you, there comes
one moment, once,
1189
01:02:51,540 --> 01:02:53,800
and heaven help those
who pass that moment by,
1190
01:02:53,830 --> 01:02:56,110
when beauty stands
looking into the soul
1191
01:02:56,150 --> 01:03:01,810
with grave, sweet eyes,
that sicken at pretty words.
1192
01:03:02,650 --> 01:03:06,260
Yes...that is love.
1193
01:03:06,290 --> 01:03:07,010
Love.
1194
01:03:07,050 --> 01:03:09,260
A love beyond breath,
beyond reason,
1195
01:03:09,290 --> 01:03:11,590
beyond love's own
power of loving.
1196
01:03:11,630 --> 01:03:14,200
Your name is like a golden bell
hung in my heart,
1197
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:18,450
and when I think of you I tremble,
and the bell swings and rings,
1198
01:03:18,610 --> 01:03:28,580
Roxane! Roxane!
Along my veins...Roxane.
1199
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,970
Yes...that is love.
1200
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,770
(Cyrano)
Yes...that is love.
1201
01:03:36,090 --> 01:03:38,920
That wind of terrible
and jealous beauty,
1202
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:44,200
that dark fire,
that soaring, blinding music.
1203
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,690
Yet, you may take my happiness
to make you happier
1204
01:03:47,730 --> 01:03:49,410
even though you
never know I gave it to you.
1205
01:03:49,940 --> 01:03:55,700
Only let me hear, sometimes, all alone,
the distant laughter of your joy.
1206
01:03:56,740 --> 01:03:58,470
Do you begin
to understand a little?
1207
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,200
Can you feel my soul there
in the darkness breathe on you?
1208
01:04:03,230 --> 01:04:06,630
Oh, only tonight,
now I dare say these things.
1209
01:04:06,790 --> 01:04:09,400
I to you, and you hear them.
1210
01:04:10,030 --> 01:04:12,650
It is my voice, mine, my own
that makes you tremble
1211
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,390
there in the green gloom,
above me, for you do tremble
1212
01:04:15,430 --> 01:04:18,110
as a blossom among the leaves,
you tremble, and I can feel
1213
01:04:18,140 --> 01:04:19,670
all the way down along
this jasmine branch
1214
01:04:19,710 --> 01:04:23,700
whether you will unhold
the passion of you trembling.
1215
01:04:24,340 --> 01:04:25,960
Yes, I do tremble.
1216
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,880
And I weep, and I love you,
and I am yours,
1217
01:04:29,910 --> 01:04:31,720
and you have made me thus.
1218
01:04:36,710 --> 01:04:38,250
I have done this to you.
1219
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,380
I myself.
1220
01:04:44,970 --> 01:04:47,240
Only let me ask
one thing more.
1221
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:48,900
I want a kiss!
1222
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:52,080
You ask me for...
1223
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:53,060
I...yes.
1224
01:04:53,100 --> 01:04:54,260
That is to say...
1225
01:04:54,780 --> 01:04:55,770
I mean...
1226
01:04:56,140 --> 01:04:57,450
You've gone too far.
1227
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,370
If she's willing, why
not make the most of it?
1228
01:04:59,410 --> 01:05:04,270
I, I ask.
I know I ask too much.
1229
01:05:05,150 --> 01:05:06,420
Only one?
1230
01:05:07,550 --> 01:05:08,630
Is that all?
1231
01:05:09,150 --> 01:05:12,210
All?
How much more than all?
1232
01:05:12,250 --> 01:05:16,030
I know I startle you,
I...I ask, I ask you to refuse.
1233
01:05:16,070 --> 01:05:17,200
Why? Why? Why?
1234
01:05:17,230 --> 01:05:18,350
Christian, be quiet.
1235
01:05:18,390 --> 01:05:19,430
What is that your say?
1236
01:05:19,470 --> 01:05:21,810
I am angry with myself,
because I know I go too far
1237
01:05:21,850 --> 01:05:26,270
and so I say to myself,
CHRISTIAN, BE QUIET!
1238
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:28,300
Watch it, someone comes.
1239
01:05:36,390 --> 01:05:39,180
Well, sir, I am looking
for the house of madame Roxane Robin.
1240
01:05:39,220 --> 01:05:43,450
This is not the house. That way.
To the right. Keep to the right.
1241
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:44,330
I thank you sir.
1242
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,880
I shall say my beads for you
to the very last bead.
1243
01:05:49,340 --> 01:05:50,680
Win me that kiss?
1244
01:05:51,370 --> 01:05:52,070
No!
1245
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:53,780
Sooner or later.
1246
01:05:59,170 --> 01:06:00,510
So that is true.
1247
01:06:01,460 --> 01:06:07,540
Sooner or later must be so, because,
she is young, and you are handsome.
1248
01:06:09,170 --> 01:06:15,240
Since it must be, I'd rather be
myself the cause, if it must be.
1249
01:06:16,990 --> 01:06:19,620
(balcony window opens)
1250
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:24,660
Are you still there?
1251
01:06:24,690 --> 01:06:25,470
(Cyrano)
Yes.
1252
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:28,740
We were speaking of...
1253
01:06:30,090 --> 01:06:32,450
A kiss.
- A kiss.
1254
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,340
And what is a kiss
when all is done?
1255
01:06:34,930 --> 01:06:37,080
A vow taken before
the shrine of memory.
1256
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,650
A rosy dot
over the "i" of loving.
1257
01:06:39,790 --> 01:06:42,950
- A secret whisper
to listen if the past.
1258
01:06:42,980 --> 01:06:43,650
Shhh.
1259
01:06:43,690 --> 01:06:46,720
A moment free to mortal
with a rush of wing from Ceden.
1260
01:06:46,750 --> 01:06:48,220
A sacrament of blossoms.
1261
01:06:48,260 --> 01:06:53,250
A new song sung by two hearts
to an old, simple tune.
1262
01:06:53,290 --> 01:06:54,430
Hush.
1263
01:06:54,460 --> 01:06:56,050
Why? What shame?
1264
01:06:58,010 --> 01:07:01,310
No.
No shame.
1265
01:07:01,610 --> 01:07:02,770
Then come.
1266
01:07:03,550 --> 01:07:05,680
Gather your sacred blossoms.
1267
01:07:07,250 --> 01:07:09,230
Your moment made immortal.
1268
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:09,860
Climb!
1269
01:07:10,660 --> 01:07:12,300
- But, climb?
- Many more!
1270
01:07:22,410 --> 01:07:23,760
Roxane.
1271
01:07:33,870 --> 01:07:34,690
(sigh)
1272
01:07:36,090 --> 01:07:39,770
Ah, Roxane.
I have won what I have wanted.
1273
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:45,410
A feast of love,
and I am faint with hunger.
1274
01:07:48,110 --> 01:07:51,040
Yet, I have something here
that is mine now,...
1275
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,380
and was not mine before.
1276
01:07:54,220 --> 01:07:56,790
I spoke the words
that won her.
1277
01:07:57,890 --> 01:08:05,890
She kisses my words.
My words...upon his lips.
1278
01:08:07,230 --> 01:08:08,650
(gate opens)
1279
01:08:13,250 --> 01:08:14,670
What, dear Father,
lost your way again?
1280
01:08:14,710 --> 01:08:16,270
But, she lives here,
Madame Robin.
1281
01:08:16,300 --> 01:08:17,830
Oh, I thought
you said, Rolen?
1282
01:08:17,860 --> 01:08:19,850
No, r..o..b..i..n, Robin.
1283
01:08:19,890 --> 01:08:21,030
Oh, Robin, I see.
1284
01:08:21,070 --> 01:08:23,090
I'm too old
to chase wild geese
1285
01:08:23,130 --> 01:08:25,080
- my feet...
- Oh, what a shame,
1286
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,920
(knocking on door)
however, I'm sure there's someone at home.
1287
01:08:29,330 --> 01:08:30,120
(door opens)
1288
01:08:30,150 --> 01:08:30,860
What is it?
1289
01:08:30,890 --> 01:08:34,570
Yeah, I'm looking for
the young lady, Madam Rolen
1290
01:08:34,610 --> 01:08:35,840
Rolen?
1291
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:37,080
Robin!
1292
01:08:37,950 --> 01:08:40,050
Madame!
A letter for you.
1293
01:08:40,590 --> 01:08:42,070
Yes, yes, I heard.
1294
01:08:42,970 --> 01:08:43,650
Cyrano.
1295
01:08:43,690 --> 01:08:46,080
Uh, passing by cousin,
I saw this light.
1296
01:08:46,700 --> 01:08:50,330
Uh, some matter
profitable to the soul.
1297
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:52,550
A very noble lord gave it to me.
1298
01:08:52,750 --> 01:08:53,640
(Christian)
What is it?
1299
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,100
<i>My regiment has been
ordered to the front. </i>
1300
01:08:57,130 --> 01:08:59,490
<i>I cannot allow you
to delay any longer.</i>
1301
01:08:59,530 --> 01:09:01,820
<i>This simple old monk,
who knows nothing,</i>
1302
01:09:01,850 --> 01:09:04,190
<i>will marry us tonight.
My love, Antoine de Guiche.</i>
1303
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,110
(Roxane changes everything)
1304
01:09:07,150 --> 01:09:08,880
Father, this letter
concerns you.
1305
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,930
"Madame, the Cardinal
will have his way,
1306
01:09:13,970 --> 01:09:15,530
"although against your will.
1307
01:09:15,710 --> 01:09:18,150
"That is why I am
sending this to you,
1308
01:09:18,180 --> 01:09:20,470
"by a most holy man.
1309
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,160
"Intelligent, discreet.
1310
01:09:23,580 --> 01:09:26,660
"You will communicate
to him our order to perform
1311
01:09:26,900 --> 01:09:31,160
"here and at once
the rite of holy matrimony.
1312
01:09:32,570 --> 01:09:35,910
"You and Christian will be
married privately in your house.
1313
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,760
"Be resigned to the
Cardinal's command,
1314
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:41,930
"who sends herewith
his blessings.
1315
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,060
"Your very humble,
and etcetera..."
1316
01:09:44,940 --> 01:09:46,750
Oh, this is terrible.
1317
01:09:48,220 --> 01:09:49,850
Oh, you're to be
the, uh...
1318
01:09:49,890 --> 01:09:51,490
I am to be the bridegroom.
1319
01:09:53,950 --> 01:09:56,230
Uh, look here.
A postscript.
1320
01:09:56,780 --> 01:10:02,320
"Give to the monastery,
in my name 120 pieces of gold."
1321
01:10:02,350 --> 01:10:04,070
One hundred and twenty...
1322
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,530
Oh, a worthy lord.
A very worthy lord.
1323
01:10:09,470 --> 01:10:12,030
Daughter, resign yourself.
1324
01:10:12,070 --> 01:10:14,080
I am resigned.
1325
01:10:22,350 --> 01:10:24,500
The Guiche is coming, too.
Don't let him enter.
1326
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:25,730
Not let him enter?
1327
01:10:25,770 --> 01:10:27,790
Until we're married, please.
1328
01:10:28,610 --> 01:10:30,340
(door slams shut)
1329
01:10:44,330 --> 01:10:45,250
(Count)
What is that?
1330
01:10:45,340 --> 01:10:46,330
(Cyrano)
Me?
1331
01:10:46,370 --> 01:10:48,360
- Why, where did you come from?
- The moon.
1332
01:10:48,390 --> 01:10:49,330
- You...
- From the moon.
1333
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:50,690
I have just returned
from the moon.
1334
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:52,420
- The fellow's mad!
-Like a bomb, I tell you,
1335
01:10:52,460 --> 01:10:54,130
- I fell from the moon!
- Your feet must...
1336
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:55,450
- I say THE MOON!
1337
01:10:55,480 --> 01:10:57,580
- Very well, if you say so.
- Thank you.
1338
01:10:57,610 --> 01:10:58,610
- Raving mad.
1339
01:11:00,660 --> 01:11:02,850
- Where am I?
- My dear sir!
1340
01:11:02,890 --> 01:11:04,080
- What place is this?
What country?
1341
01:11:04,110 --> 01:11:06,170
- Please, let me pass.
- This face, good heavens!
1342
01:11:06,210 --> 01:11:08,710
Maul, a robber.
Where am I?
1343
01:11:08,750 --> 01:11:12,830
- A lady is waiting for me.
- Oh, this is Paris, huh?
1344
01:11:12,870 --> 01:11:13,620
You fool!
1345
01:11:13,650 --> 01:11:14,800
Dear old Paris.
1346
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,750
Excuse my appearance.
I arrived by the last thunderbolt.
1347
01:11:17,790 --> 01:11:19,970
A trifled singed
as I passed through the ether.
1348
01:11:20,470 --> 01:11:21,320
Monsieur!
1349
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:22,080
Sir?
1350
01:11:22,130 --> 01:11:23,750
That will do, now. I wish...
1351
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,600
I know, you wish to look for
my own list of nature for moons
1352
01:11:25,630 --> 01:11:27,820
and happiness and character
of it's surface, if any.
1353
01:11:27,850 --> 01:11:29,060
I desire no such thing, I...
1354
01:11:29,100 --> 01:11:30,060
Of course not.
1355
01:11:32,940 --> 01:11:34,330
You wish to know
by what mysterious
1356
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:35,570
means I reached the moon.
1357
01:11:35,610 --> 01:11:37,870
Well, a very secret affair of state,
1358
01:11:37,900 --> 01:11:41,770
but confidentially
a new invention of my own.
1359
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:43,190
Drunk, two ways.
Well a man..
1360
01:11:43,230 --> 01:11:46,050
Oh, no. In truth I have
my choice of several inventions.
1361
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:46,600
Uh?
1362
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:50,850
Yes, several ways
to violate the virgin sky.
1363
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:52,210
Several?
1364
01:11:52,250 --> 01:11:53,510
Several.
1365
01:11:53,540 --> 01:11:57,520
As, for instance, smoke
having a natural tendency to rise,
1366
01:11:57,550 --> 01:12:02,050
blow in a globe
enough to raise me.
1367
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:03,300
Yes, that makes one.
1368
01:12:03,330 --> 01:12:06,780
Again, I might construct a rocket
in the shape of a HUGE locust
1369
01:12:06,820 --> 01:12:10,810
driven by impulses up within
a saltpeter from the rear
1370
01:12:10,850 --> 01:12:14,050
and thus speed upwards,
like, thus!
1371
01:12:14,260 --> 01:12:15,260
Yes, another?
1372
01:12:15,290 --> 01:12:18,950
Finally, seated on an iron plate,
hurl a magnet into the air.
1373
01:12:18,980 --> 01:12:21,810
The iron follows.
I catch the magnet.
1374
01:12:21,850 --> 01:12:25,330
Throw it again, and
so proceed indefinitely.
1375
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,460
Excellent, and
which did you adopt?
1376
01:12:31,450 --> 01:12:32,370
Why none of them.
1377
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:34,350
Yet another.
1378
01:12:34,390 --> 01:12:35,740
Which was...?
1379
01:12:46,810 --> 01:12:47,500
Guess.
1380
01:12:47,860 --> 01:12:49,370
Ahhh, I can't!
1381
01:12:50,090 --> 01:12:51,100
Try.
1382
01:12:52,340 --> 01:12:53,980
Interesting idiot, this.
1383
01:13:05,350 --> 01:13:06,540
Have you guessed it yet?
1384
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:07,960
Why, no, what is it?
1385
01:13:13,780 --> 01:13:15,870
Alas, you will never know,
but no matter.
1386
01:13:15,910 --> 01:13:18,470
You are free and
they are bound in wedlock.
1387
01:13:18,510 --> 01:13:21,010
I drunk that voice,
and that nose, Cyrano!
1388
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:23,710
Cyrano. This very moment
they have exchanged vows.
1389
01:13:23,750 --> 01:13:24,460
Who?
1390
01:13:29,820 --> 01:13:31,530
My sincere compliments.
1391
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,900
You, also, my traveler in space.
1392
01:13:34,940 --> 01:13:37,800
My Lord, the heads of Capathieu
and Joyce have joined together.
1393
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:38,750
Quite so!
1394
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:44,160
Madame, kindly bid
your... husband farewell.
1395
01:13:44,190 --> 01:13:46,670
Your regiment leaves tonight, sir.
Report at once!
1396
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:49,320
But, the Cadets are not called.
1397
01:13:49,350 --> 01:13:51,850
They are, indeed, and
under my command.
1398
01:13:52,710 --> 01:13:55,080
Out there we may
have an accounting.
1399
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:58,130
Somehow, that news
fails to disquiet me.
1400
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,190
Here are the orders.
Baron, deliver this.
1401
01:14:02,500 --> 01:14:03,650
Christian!
1402
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,660
The bridal night
is not so near.
1403
01:14:10,090 --> 01:14:13,400
Somehow that news
fails to disquiet me.
1404
01:14:17,710 --> 01:14:19,340
Baron, you have your orders.
1405
01:14:36,270 --> 01:14:37,530
Farewell, Roxane.
1406
01:14:38,290 --> 01:14:40,490
Take care of him, for me.
Promise me never to let him
1407
01:14:40,530 --> 01:14:41,400
do anything dangerous.
1408
01:14:41,430 --> 01:14:42,890
I will do my best.
I cannot promise.
1409
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:44,970
I thought you brave always.
Make him be careful.
1410
01:14:45,010 --> 01:14:46,070
Yes, yes, I'll try.
1411
01:14:46,110 --> 01:14:47,840
Be sure to keep him
warm and dry!
1412
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:49,150
Yes, if possible.
1413
01:14:49,190 --> 01:14:51,820
Have him write to me
every single day!
1414
01:14:51,860 --> 01:14:54,090
That, I promise you.
1415
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,970
(the war with Spain)
1416
01:15:40,820 --> 01:15:41,540
Halt!
1417
01:16:03,370 --> 01:16:03,920
Uh!
1418
01:16:13,930 --> 01:16:18,590
(Madame Baroness de Neuvillette,
Rue Marais No. 12, Paris)
1419
01:16:46,610 --> 01:16:48,170
The situation
is simple, gentlemen.
1420
01:16:48,420 --> 01:16:53,340
We have besieged Arras.
The Prince of Spain has besieged us.
1421
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,960
Consequently, we
are surrounded.
1422
01:16:56,050 --> 01:16:58,920
- A fine war. Where
the besiegers are besieged
1423
01:16:58,950 --> 01:17:00,020
and starve to death.
1424
01:17:00,060 --> 01:17:01,990
Yes, but the Marshal has
devised a brilliant plan
1425
01:17:02,030 --> 01:17:03,480
for bringing in food
this very night.
1426
01:17:03,510 --> 01:17:04,460
Now, see here.
1427
01:17:04,500 --> 01:17:06,240
Spare us the details, Colonel.
1428
01:17:06,270 --> 01:17:08,820
Merely inform us
when the food arrives.
1429
01:17:08,860 --> 01:17:11,380
True, we are hungry.
But why blame me?
1430
01:17:11,700 --> 01:17:13,320
I'm only your Colonel.
1431
01:17:14,700 --> 01:17:16,910
Oh, yes, I know
you disprove of me.
1432
01:17:17,020 --> 01:17:18,940
Call me courtier, politician.
1433
01:17:19,430 --> 01:17:22,080
Well, I can afford you little hates.
1434
01:17:22,110 --> 01:17:24,730
My conduct under fire
is well known.
1435
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,170
It was only yesterday
I repelled a Spanish attack.
1436
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,070
Pouring my men down
like an avalanche.
1437
01:17:29,250 --> 01:17:30,710
I, myself lead the charge.
1438
01:17:30,900 --> 01:17:33,330
- And your white scarf?
(through a cannon barrel)
1439
01:17:33,370 --> 01:17:34,130
Cyrano!
1440
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:39,140
And your white scarf?
1441
01:17:39,150 --> 01:17:40,480
Eh, you heard that episode?
1442
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:44,110
Yes, I was so far in advance
I was in danger of being captured.
1443
01:17:44,180 --> 01:17:46,570
But I thought quickly,
took off and flung away
1444
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,290
the scarf that marked
my military rank.
1445
01:17:48,420 --> 01:17:51,150
And so being inconspicuous
escaped among my own force,
1446
01:17:51,410 --> 01:17:54,250
rallied them, returned,
and won the day.
1447
01:17:54,290 --> 01:17:55,500
What do you say to that?
1448
01:17:55,540 --> 01:17:58,550
Still, enough that is not likely
to resign the privilege of being a target.
1449
01:17:58,580 --> 01:18:01,690
How pleasant for you
that you are denied that privilege.
1450
01:18:01,730 --> 01:18:03,650
Pleasant?
Lend me your scarf.
1451
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:05,570
With your permission I shall
lead the first charge tonight
1452
01:18:05,610 --> 01:18:06,890
wearing it over my shoulder.
1453
01:18:06,930 --> 01:18:07,720
What bluster.
1454
01:18:07,750 --> 01:18:09,630
You're safe making that offer,
and you know it.
1455
01:18:09,670 --> 01:18:12,620
My scarf lies on the
river bank between the lines.
1456
01:18:12,650 --> 01:18:15,560
A spot swept by artillery.
Impossible to reach alive.
1457
01:18:15,700 --> 01:18:16,700
Yes.
1458
01:18:16,730 --> 01:18:20,500
(displays the Colonel's scarf)
1459
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:22,410
Here.
1460
01:18:22,580 --> 01:18:24,590
(laughter)
1461
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:26,500
Thank you.
1462
01:18:28,180 --> 01:18:31,000
This bit of white is
what I need to make a signal.
1463
01:18:31,820 --> 01:18:33,360
I was hesitating.
1464
01:18:33,940 --> 01:18:35,720
You have decided me.
1465
01:18:41,370 --> 01:18:43,010
- Stand or I'll fire!
- Hold you fire.
1466
01:18:43,050 --> 01:18:44,650
There's a man down
there running away.
1467
01:18:44,690 --> 01:18:46,700
Yes, a Spaniard.
1468
01:18:47,440 --> 01:18:50,310
But very useful as a spy
to both sides.
1469
01:18:51,270 --> 01:18:52,480
As I was about
to tell you.
1470
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,100
The Marshal has withdrawn
more than half our forces here.
1471
01:18:55,140 --> 01:18:57,190
Fortunately, the Spaniards
do not know that.
1472
01:18:57,230 --> 01:19:00,470
Oh, yes, they do now,
and they will attack tonight.
1473
01:19:00,510 --> 01:19:02,240
At this point.
1474
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:04,520
Your revenge, eh?
1475
01:19:04,550 --> 01:19:06,670
I make not great
pretense in loving you.
1476
01:19:06,770 --> 01:19:10,170
But since you gentlemen
esteem yourselves invincible,
1477
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,710
the bravest of the brave,
and all that.
1478
01:19:12,750 --> 01:19:14,120
Why need we be personal.
1479
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,710
The Marshal needs
a diversion, and I serve him
1480
01:19:16,740 --> 01:19:19,040
in choosing as I chose.
1481
01:19:19,210 --> 01:19:21,440
As you can see, Captain,
the great thing is to gain time.
1482
01:19:21,470 --> 01:19:23,070
To hold until the Marshal returns.
1483
01:19:23,180 --> 01:19:24,980
- And to gain time?
1484
01:19:25,490 --> 01:19:31,370
You will all be so kind
as to lay down your lives.
1485
01:19:39,610 --> 01:19:40,700
Christian?
1486
01:19:40,740 --> 01:19:41,400
Yes.
1487
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:46,130
Roxane?
1488
01:19:46,940 --> 01:19:49,260
I should like to say
farewell to her
1489
01:19:49,290 --> 01:19:51,580
with my whole
heart for her to keep.
1490
01:19:53,630 --> 01:19:55,610
I have taken the liberty of...
1491
01:19:58,580 --> 01:20:03,760
(the first letter
Christian is aware of)
1492
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:05,110
But, wait.
1493
01:20:07,270 --> 01:20:08,180
This little spot.
1494
01:20:08,620 --> 01:20:09,360
Spot?
1495
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:10,100
Yes.
1496
01:20:10,470 --> 01:20:11,550
A tear.
1497
01:20:13,500 --> 01:20:14,210
Is nothing.
1498
01:20:14,250 --> 01:20:16,860
A poet while he writes
is like a lover in his lady's arms,
1499
01:20:16,890 --> 01:20:19,060
believing his imagination,
everything seems real.
1500
01:20:19,090 --> 01:20:20,710
There's half the charm
of writing.
1501
01:20:21,230 --> 01:20:24,000
Now, I made this letter
so pathetic, that,
1502
01:20:24,030 --> 01:20:27,290
while I was writing it,
I wept.
1503
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:28,110
You wept?
1504
01:20:28,650 --> 01:20:31,590
Why, yes, because
it is a little thing to die,
1505
01:20:32,500 --> 01:20:36,710
but not to see her,...
that is terrible.
1506
01:20:37,700 --> 01:20:41,890
I shall never...,
you will never...
1507
01:20:42,480 --> 01:20:43,690
Give me that.
1508
01:20:45,190 --> 01:20:48,500
- Halt. Who goes there.
- On the service of the King.
1509
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:01,330
- The King!
- Fall in...
1510
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:11,620
Good evening.
1511
01:21:11,650 --> 01:21:13,540
On the King's service, you?
1512
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:25,850
- Gentlemen,...
- What are you doing here?
1513
01:21:25,890 --> 01:21:28,300
- We heard rumors at home
you were hungry,
1514
01:21:28,340 --> 01:21:29,810
- so we came prepared.
1515
01:21:29,850 --> 01:21:34,500
The Spaniards adored the fare,
but they missed the fowl!
1516
01:21:34,530 --> 01:21:37,560
(soldiers clamor for food)
1517
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:47,020
But why did you come here
into this, this danger?
1518
01:21:47,060 --> 01:21:49,420
They said in Paris
there was no fighting.
1519
01:21:50,450 --> 01:21:53,620
Besides, it was your own fault.
1520
01:22:01,410 --> 01:22:03,770
Think of the
letters you have written me.
1521
01:22:04,050 --> 01:22:06,510
How many times!
Every day!
1522
01:22:06,550 --> 01:22:07,680
Every day?
1523
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:08,820
Of course.
1524
01:22:08,980 --> 01:22:11,560
And each one
more wonderful than the last.
1525
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:14,820
All this, for a few absurd love letters.
1526
01:22:14,860 --> 01:22:18,050
Hush. Absurd?
Your letters...no, never.
1527
01:22:19,030 --> 01:22:22,730
Every one was like hearing your voice
that night in the dark. Remember?
1528
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:26,590
Like your arms around me.
I read them over and over.
1529
01:22:26,630 --> 01:22:30,420
Every page was like
a petal fallen from you soul.
1530
01:22:30,460 --> 01:22:33,350
Like the light
and the fire of a great love.
1531
01:22:33,390 --> 01:22:36,020
- Sweet and strong and true.
- Sweet.
1532
01:22:36,180 --> 01:22:37,280
Strong.
1533
01:22:37,590 --> 01:22:38,490
True?
1534
01:22:41,570 --> 01:22:43,090
Oh, my Christian.
1535
01:22:43,690 --> 01:22:46,420
I came here to ask forgiveness.
1536
01:22:47,660 --> 01:22:49,380
It is time to be forgiven.
1537
01:22:49,860 --> 01:22:51,950
Now, when we
may die so soon.
1538
01:22:53,780 --> 01:22:55,380
Forgive me for being
light and vain
1539
01:22:55,410 --> 01:22:57,570
and loving you only
because you were handsome.
1540
01:22:57,600 --> 01:22:59,230
- For now...
- Now?
1541
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:01,940
I love you for yourself.
1542
01:23:02,350 --> 01:23:04,090
For what you are.
1543
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:05,340
Roxane.
1544
01:23:05,910 --> 01:23:09,000
How you must have suffered.
For you saw how frivolous I was.
1545
01:23:09,030 --> 01:23:11,300
And to be loved
for the mere costume,
1546
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,090
for the poor, casual
body you went about in.
1547
01:23:14,750 --> 01:23:17,620
To a soul like yours,
that must have been torture.
1548
01:23:17,650 --> 01:23:18,390
No.
1549
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:23,140
I understand.
1550
01:23:23,790 --> 01:23:25,930
You cannot perfectly
believe in me,
1551
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:27,530
a...a love like this...
1552
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:29,090
I want no love like this.
1553
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,020
I want love only for...
1554
01:23:31,050 --> 01:23:33,090
Only for what every
woman sees in you.
1555
01:23:33,700 --> 01:23:35,030
I can to better than that.
1556
01:23:35,060 --> 01:23:37,240
No, it...it was best before.
1557
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,090
You do not
altogether know me.
1558
01:23:40,540 --> 01:23:42,260
I was a child.
1559
01:23:42,350 --> 01:23:43,650
I'm a woman now.
1560
01:23:44,250 --> 01:23:46,720
- If...if you were less handsome,
- No.
1561
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:50,130
unattractive, ugly even,
I should love you, still.
1562
01:23:50,770 --> 01:23:51,900
Do you mean that?
1563
01:23:52,510 --> 01:23:53,750
I do mean that.
1564
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:55,020
Ugly?
1565
01:23:55,100 --> 01:23:56,200
Even then.
1566
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:58,050
Now, are you happy?
1567
01:24:03,470 --> 01:24:04,650
Yes.
1568
01:24:04,690 --> 01:24:05,500
What is it?
1569
01:24:06,190 --> 01:24:08,690
Nothing, only, Cyrano...
1570
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:10,830
Cyrano.
1571
01:24:12,050 --> 01:24:14,090
he has something
to tell you.
1572
01:24:16,180 --> 01:24:17,200
Where are you going?
1573
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:20,690
I...will...return...in a moment.
1574
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:30,050
Cyrano.
1575
01:24:30,650 --> 01:24:32,480
Your wife, sir,
she goes with me?
1576
01:24:32,510 --> 01:24:33,340
No, sir, she remains.
1577
01:24:33,380 --> 01:24:34,670
There is still time
for her to escape.
1578
01:24:34,710 --> 01:24:35,640
She stays!
1579
01:24:36,030 --> 01:24:36,790
Very well.
1580
01:24:36,820 --> 01:24:38,950
Someone give me a musket.
I stay here also.
1581
01:24:39,420 --> 01:24:40,640
Sir, you show courage.
1582
01:24:40,670 --> 01:24:42,890
What, shall I run away,
and leave a woman?
1583
01:24:43,450 --> 01:24:45,320
Colonel, my compliments, sir.
1584
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:47,810
What of Roxane?
1585
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:48,470
Wait.
1586
01:24:49,350 --> 01:24:50,860
Well, what is it?
You look so...
1587
01:24:52,830 --> 01:24:54,580
She does not love me.
1588
01:24:54,990 --> 01:24:57,310
- You think not?
- She loves you.
1589
01:24:57,340 --> 01:24:59,630
- No.
- She loves only my soul.
1590
01:24:59,660 --> 01:25:00,370
- No.
- Yes!
1591
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:03,140
That means you.
And you love her.
1592
01:25:03,170 --> 01:25:05,300
- I?
- I see. I know.
1593
01:25:05,340 --> 01:25:08,310
You wrote her,
everyday, every day!
1594
01:25:08,820 --> 01:25:10,030
- Perfectly simple.
- Simple?
1595
01:25:10,060 --> 01:25:11,700
For a month,
we've been blockaded here.
1596
01:25:11,740 --> 01:25:13,340
How did you send
all those letters?
1597
01:25:13,370 --> 01:25:14,500
Before daylight
I managed...
1598
01:25:14,530 --> 01:25:16,070
To face death
everyday.
1599
01:25:16,820 --> 01:25:17,950
You love her.
1600
01:25:19,020 --> 01:25:20,190
Yes.
1601
01:25:26,950 --> 01:25:27,890
Tell her so.
1602
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:29,250
- No.
- Why not?
1603
01:25:29,350 --> 01:25:32,290
Why?
Look at me.
1604
01:25:32,590 --> 01:25:35,420
She would love me
if I were ugly.
1605
01:25:35,990 --> 01:25:38,820
- She said that?
- Yes. Now, go to her.
1606
01:25:40,090 --> 01:25:42,410
Nonsense. Do not
believe any such madness.
1607
01:25:42,440 --> 01:25:44,730
Go back to her.
You never will be ugly.
1608
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:45,810
Go!
It is you she loves.
1609
01:25:45,850 --> 01:25:46,870
That is what
we shall see.
1610
01:25:46,900 --> 01:25:47,840
No, no!
1611
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:49,480
- Let her chose between us.
- No.
1612
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:51,510
- Tell her everything.
- Why do you torture me?
1613
01:25:51,550 --> 01:25:54,700
Shall I ruin your happiness,
because I was born with a pretty face?
1614
01:25:54,740 --> 01:25:57,210
Am I to ruin yours,
because I happen to have power
1615
01:25:57,250 --> 01:25:58,750
to say what you perhaps feel?
1616
01:25:58,780 --> 01:26:00,910
- Tell her!
- Don't drive me too far!
1617
01:26:00,950 --> 01:26:03,210
- I'm tired of being my own rival.
- Hard to know.
1618
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:05,470
My secret marriage, that
can be annulled, I expect.
1619
01:26:05,500 --> 01:26:07,790
I want her love
for the poor fool than I am,
1620
01:26:07,860 --> 01:26:09,020
or not at all.
1621
01:26:09,390 --> 01:26:12,090
Oh, I'm going through with this.
I'll know one way or the other.
1622
01:26:12,870 --> 01:26:15,280
Now, go!....Tell her.
1623
01:26:15,480 --> 01:26:16,790
Let her chose one of us.
1624
01:26:17,570 --> 01:26:18,780
It will be you.
1625
01:26:19,670 --> 01:26:21,330
I hope so.
1626
01:26:33,070 --> 01:26:33,820
- Captain!
1627
01:26:36,570 --> 01:26:38,100
The Spanish fires are going out.
1628
01:26:41,030 --> 01:26:42,160
It begins.
1629
01:26:42,220 --> 01:26:44,140
I need a scout. Where's Cyrano.
1630
01:26:44,490 --> 01:26:45,280
Captain.
1631
01:26:45,850 --> 01:26:46,740
Let me go.
1632
01:26:46,780 --> 01:26:49,490
No, my boy, Cyrano knows
the terrain. He knows their lines.
1633
01:26:49,530 --> 01:26:51,550
So do I.
Please, allow me.
1634
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:56,070
Very well.
We must know from which
1635
01:26:56,110 --> 01:26:58,810
direction the advance comes.
Their weight and numbers.
1636
01:26:58,840 --> 01:26:59,560
I understand.
1637
01:27:11,940 --> 01:27:12,780
Roxane.
1638
01:27:13,430 --> 01:27:14,450
Cyrano.
1639
01:27:14,480 --> 01:27:15,930
Christian thinks...
1640
01:27:17,470 --> 01:27:19,190
Christian thinks you
ought to know that...
1641
01:27:19,220 --> 01:27:20,240
But I do know.
1642
01:27:20,770 --> 01:27:22,850
He still doubts what I
just told him, just now.
1643
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:23,860
I saw that.
1644
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:27,560
Yes, but,...was it true,
what you told him just now?
1645
01:27:27,590 --> 01:27:28,900
It was true.
1646
01:27:28,990 --> 01:27:32,270
I said that I should love him,
even if he were....
1647
01:27:33,020 --> 01:27:34,580
The word comes
hard before me?
1648
01:27:37,420 --> 01:27:38,860
Say it, I shall
not be hurt.
1649
01:27:39,370 --> 01:27:40,620
Ugly?
1650
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:42,130
Even, then
I should love him.
1651
01:27:43,500 --> 01:27:44,690
Disfigured.
1652
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:45,870
Or disfigured.
1653
01:27:46,480 --> 01:27:49,620
Even....grotesque.
1654
01:27:49,650 --> 01:27:51,350
How could he
every be grotesque,
1655
01:27:51,810 --> 01:27:52,950
ever to me?
1656
01:27:52,990 --> 01:27:55,580
But, you could love him so,
as much as?
1657
01:27:55,610 --> 01:27:56,790
Yes, and more.
1658
01:27:57,320 --> 01:27:58,320
Roxane...
1659
01:27:58,350 --> 01:27:59,300
(gunshot)
1660
01:27:59,340 --> 01:28:00,260
What is it?
1661
01:28:01,550 --> 01:28:02,600
Are they fighting?
1662
01:28:05,250 --> 01:28:06,510
What is happening?
1663
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:08,010
- The Spaniards advance,
1664
01:28:08,940 --> 01:28:09,930
but there is time.
1665
01:28:10,480 --> 01:28:12,370
- Where is Christian?
- At the parapet.
1666
01:28:12,820 --> 01:28:13,890
Oh, of course.
1667
01:28:14,930 --> 01:28:16,750
What is it
that you wish to tell me?
1668
01:28:16,780 --> 01:28:18,140
Roxane,...
1669
01:28:18,810 --> 01:28:21,690
believe me this is difficult,
and for once I lack words.
1670
01:28:24,690 --> 01:28:26,330
Christian asked me to...
1671
01:28:26,440 --> 01:28:27,850
He told me...
1672
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:38,220
Christian!
1673
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:42,970
To your places, gentlemen.
1674
01:28:43,970 --> 01:28:45,130
Is he dead?
1675
01:28:45,170 --> 01:28:46,260
No, but dying.
1676
01:28:46,300 --> 01:28:47,660
I will not let him!
1677
01:28:51,870 --> 01:28:54,530
Cyrano...did you?
1678
01:28:54,570 --> 01:28:56,610
Yes, my friend.
I have told her.
1679
01:28:58,350 --> 01:28:59,450
She loves you.
1680
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:02,190
Roxane.
1681
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:03,570
Yes, my darling.
1682
01:29:06,020 --> 01:29:07,320
Christian!
1683
01:29:08,170 --> 01:29:09,370
He is not dead?
1684
01:29:10,930 --> 01:29:11,830
Yes.
1685
01:29:12,310 --> 01:29:13,640
(gasp)
1686
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:22,890
Time you must go, now.
1687
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:25,860
Really, he is dead.
1688
01:29:25,890 --> 01:29:27,740
No one else
knew him but you.
1689
01:29:28,250 --> 01:29:29,630
Was he not a hero?
1690
01:29:29,670 --> 01:29:30,700
Yes, Roxane.
1691
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:33,340
A heart deeper
than we knew.
1692
01:29:33,380 --> 01:29:34,930
Yes, Roxane.
1693
01:29:35,010 --> 01:29:39,310
A poet.
A soul magnificently tender.
1694
01:29:41,750 --> 01:29:43,660
Yes, Roxane.
1695
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:46,740
But he is dead now.
1696
01:29:48,390 --> 01:29:50,030
(collapses sobbing)
1697
01:29:50,070 --> 01:29:51,230
Why, so am I.
1698
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:55,060
For I am dead
and my love mourns for me
1699
01:29:55,100 --> 01:29:56,550
and does not know.
1700
01:29:58,190 --> 01:29:59,530
Will never know.
1701
01:29:59,570 --> 01:30:00,990
(rapid gunfire)
1702
01:30:01,030 --> 01:30:02,410
(bugle calls)
1703
01:30:03,030 --> 01:30:04,030
Take her away quickly.
1704
01:30:05,670 --> 01:30:06,500
Wait.
1705
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:09,220
A letter over his heart.
1706
01:30:11,490 --> 01:30:12,850
(sobbing)
1707
01:30:16,740 --> 01:30:18,460
I have two deaths
to avenge, now,
1708
01:30:19,090 --> 01:30:22,670
Christian's...and my own.
1709
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:42,210
(fighting becomes intense)
1710
01:30:43,330 --> 01:30:46,820
(the Spanish army advances)
1711
01:30:49,450 --> 01:30:50,280
Fire!
1712
01:31:00,270 --> 01:31:02,810
Surrender or you die!
1713
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:51,720
(de Guiche)
Look! The signal!
1714
01:32:59,940 --> 01:33:00,940
Ah!
1715
01:33:07,070 --> 01:33:09,610
We fought. We died.
We fought again.
1716
01:33:09,750 --> 01:33:12,760
Who are these men who are
so fond of death, one Spaniard cried.
1717
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:14,440
On and on, they came.
1718
01:33:14,570 --> 01:33:17,210
Then, when all seemed lost,
we heard the trumpets
1719
01:33:17,250 --> 01:33:19,850
of our returning troops.
The battle was ours!
1720
01:33:20,690 --> 01:33:24,050
Ah, you have been fortunate,
Ms. de Bergerac, you have lived!
1721
01:33:24,090 --> 01:33:28,870
While we, we waste our youth.
There is no war and not hope for any.
1722
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:30,880
No hope for any?
1723
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:34,220
My fellow, I just realize,
we are both fools.
1724
01:33:34,630 --> 01:33:37,550
But mine is the greater folly,
for I am an older fool.
1725
01:33:38,170 --> 01:33:42,320
What is more......
Everything I told you was a lie.
1726
01:33:47,550 --> 01:33:49,680
Another satire
for the Gazette?
1727
01:33:49,710 --> 01:33:50,410
Yes.
1728
01:33:50,820 --> 01:33:53,480
Another glove flung
in the face of power?
1729
01:33:53,650 --> 01:33:55,400
Oh, why do you
do it, Cyrano?
1730
01:33:55,430 --> 01:33:57,860
- Why do you attack...
- Stupidity?
1731
01:33:57,880 --> 01:34:01,180
Deceit? Corruption?
I'm too old to change.
1732
01:34:01,370 --> 01:34:03,980
I'm an old dog
with nothing left but his teeth.
1733
01:34:04,010 --> 01:34:06,580
Ah, but teeth can be pulled.
That can be painful.
1734
01:34:10,440 --> 01:34:14,580
That insolent wretch.
That scoundrel de Bergerac.
1735
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:17,180
This time he's gone too far.
I swear it.
1736
01:34:17,210 --> 01:34:18,790
He's signed his death warrant.
1737
01:34:19,950 --> 01:34:21,730
And who will deliver it?
1738
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:25,040
His sword is still very
powerful, my friend.
1739
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:27,230
There are may ways
a man can die.
1740
01:34:27,990 --> 01:34:29,550
Who knows?
1741
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:31,430
He may meet
with an accident.
1742
01:34:32,550 --> 01:34:33,570
Soon.
1743
01:34:35,100 --> 01:34:38,710
(church chimes)
1744
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:46,060
But, uh, tell me, Madame.
1745
01:34:46,180 --> 01:34:50,830
How long will you continue
to remain here, forever in mourning?
1746
01:34:51,670 --> 01:34:52,570
Forever.
1747
01:34:53,060 --> 01:34:55,080
Was Christian all that?
1748
01:34:55,770 --> 01:34:57,400
If you knew him
you would not ask.
1749
01:34:57,950 --> 01:35:00,150
His last letter
is still in my heart.
1750
01:35:00,820 --> 01:35:04,770
And, uh, Cyrano?
Do you see him often?
1751
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:09,240
Every week. My old friend
takes the place of my Gazette.
1752
01:35:09,620 --> 01:35:11,320
He brings me all the news.
1753
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:14,940
Every Saturday under
that tree out there.
1754
01:35:14,980 --> 01:35:17,070
I wait for him embroidering.
1755
01:35:17,430 --> 01:35:20,240
The hour strikes.
I need not turn to look.
1756
01:35:20,570 --> 01:35:24,070
At the last stroke,
I hear his cane tapping the walk.
1757
01:35:24,100 --> 01:35:26,430
His satires have made
him many enemies.
1758
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:29,740
But, they still fear
that sword of his.
1759
01:35:30,330 --> 01:35:32,130
No one dare touch him.
1760
01:35:32,510 --> 01:35:33,670
Hm, that may be so.
1761
01:35:35,620 --> 01:35:38,160
It is not violence
I fear for him,
1762
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:42,560
but solitude, poverty.
Old gray Decembers
1763
01:35:42,590 --> 01:35:45,350
stealing on wolf's feet
into his darkened room.
1764
01:35:46,010 --> 01:35:48,230
It seems to me he's
worn the same old coat
1765
01:35:48,260 --> 01:35:49,610
for many months, now.
1766
01:35:49,650 --> 01:35:51,740
Eh, that is nothing
strange in this world.
1767
01:35:51,780 --> 01:35:53,820
You need not pity
him overmuch.
1768
01:35:53,860 --> 01:35:56,930
He lives his life,
his own life his own way,
1769
01:35:56,970 --> 01:36:00,300
thought, word and deed free.
1770
01:36:00,450 --> 01:36:01,610
My Lord Duke.
1771
01:36:01,750 --> 01:36:05,860
Oh, yes, I know.
I have all. He has nothing.
1772
01:36:06,370 --> 01:36:12,170
Nevertheless, today,
I should be proud to shake his hand.
1773
01:36:12,350 --> 01:36:14,000
Ah, well, adieu.
1774
01:36:14,670 --> 01:36:16,300
Will I ever see you again?
1775
01:36:16,340 --> 01:36:17,970
Come whenever you like.
1776
01:36:18,010 --> 01:36:19,610
Then, you have forgiven me.
1777
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:21,680
I am here.
1778
01:36:22,950 --> 01:36:25,380
Do you know?
When a man wins
1779
01:36:25,420 --> 01:36:29,750
everything in this world,
when he succeeds too much,
1780
01:36:29,790 --> 01:36:34,190
he feels, somehow,
a thousand small displeasures
1781
01:36:34,230 --> 01:36:38,560
with himself, whose whole sum
is not quite remorse
1782
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:45,570
but rather a sort of vague
disgust, dry illusions, pained regrets.
1783
01:36:45,870 --> 01:36:48,730
Yes, now and then,
I envy your Cyrano.
1784
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:50,860
The sentiment
does you honor.
1785
01:36:50,890 --> 01:36:52,250
(chuckling)
1786
01:36:59,350 --> 01:37:04,280
Madame, I must tell you,
it is true that no one has yet
1787
01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:06,490
dared to attack
your friend Cyrano.
1788
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:11,380
Nevertheless, at the theater
last night, I heard some things.
1789
01:37:12,260 --> 01:37:13,720
Keep him at home all you can.
1790
01:37:14,090 --> 01:37:17,330
Tomorrow when you see him,
tell him to be careful.
1791
01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:19,130
I thank you.
1792
01:37:32,050 --> 01:37:33,140
(Cyrano)
Good night, Ragueneau.
1793
01:37:33,180 --> 01:37:35,120
(Ragueneau)
Cyrano, you not leaving?
1794
01:37:35,150 --> 01:37:37,030
You will not have
dinner here with me?
1795
01:37:37,060 --> 01:37:38,860
(Cyrano)
My regrets. I have a magnificent
1796
01:37:38,900 --> 01:37:42,450
roast waiting for me, a rare wine,
a gift from my publisher.
1797
01:37:42,490 --> 01:37:43,890
(Ragueneau)
Fine, to be sure.
1798
01:37:44,650 --> 01:37:47,490
Uh, have you seen
Moliere's new play?
1799
01:37:47,530 --> 01:37:48,160
No.
1800
01:37:48,340 --> 01:37:49,650
Heh, ah, well....
1801
01:37:49,690 --> 01:37:50,580
What is it?
1802
01:37:50,610 --> 01:37:51,460
Well, he...
1803
01:37:51,500 --> 01:37:52,250
Speak.
1804
01:37:52,290 --> 01:37:55,220
He stole a scene
from you, word for word.
1805
01:37:55,250 --> 01:37:57,140
You know, "What the devil
was he doing there?"
1806
01:37:57,170 --> 01:37:57,730
That one.
1807
01:37:57,770 --> 01:37:59,040
He stole it, bodily.
1808
01:37:59,070 --> 01:38:01,300
Well, he showed
good taste.
1809
01:38:01,340 --> 01:38:03,020
It, uh, played well?
1810
01:38:03,060 --> 01:38:05,450
Oh, beautifully. They
laughed and laughed.
1811
01:38:05,480 --> 01:38:06,810
Oh, how they laughed.
1812
01:38:07,250 --> 01:38:08,560
Moliere has genius.
1813
01:38:09,370 --> 01:38:11,010
Christian had good looks.
1814
01:38:12,170 --> 01:38:13,610
With me, it was
always thus.
1815
01:38:16,050 --> 01:38:17,240
Good night, my friend.
1816
01:38:32,340 --> 01:38:32,950
(man)
Hold, there.
1817
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:33,950
(man)
You!
1818
01:38:35,650 --> 01:38:36,850
(Cyrano)
Are you addressing me?
1819
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:38,990
Yes, you, Monsieur
of the long nose.
1820
01:38:39,100 --> 01:38:40,000
Insolence.
1821
01:38:40,290 --> 01:38:41,990
- Foulmouthed scribbler.
- What?
1822
01:38:42,020 --> 01:38:43,440
- Lair, plagiarist!
- Liar.
1823
01:38:47,910 --> 01:38:49,660
(whistling to wagon)
1824
01:39:08,630 --> 01:39:10,920
(driver whips horses)
1825
01:39:27,570 --> 01:39:28,490
Doctor.
1826
01:39:29,930 --> 01:39:31,260
Why pretend?
1827
01:39:31,550 --> 01:39:32,910
It is very grave.
1828
01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:35,500
Keep him quiet
at all costs.
1829
01:39:35,540 --> 01:39:38,500
If he attempts
to rise, he will die.
1830
01:39:38,540 --> 01:39:39,810
Shhhh.
1831
01:39:43,220 --> 01:39:43,930
Thank you.
1832
01:39:44,980 --> 01:39:47,240
(door closes)
1833
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:55,820
(gate bell rings)
1834
01:39:59,820 --> 01:40:01,490
(gate opens)
1835
01:40:01,530 --> 01:40:03,170
Monsieur.
1836
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:03,860
Ah, Sister.
1837
01:40:09,810 --> 01:40:10,880
(gasp)
1838
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:12,350
What is the matter
with you?
1839
01:40:14,480 --> 01:40:15,900
Shall I tell you
something, Sister?
1840
01:40:16,540 --> 01:40:20,470
Yesterday, Friday, mind you,
I ate meat again.
1841
01:40:21,930 --> 01:40:23,000
Yes, I know.
1842
01:40:23,350 --> 01:40:25,080
That is why you
are so pale.
1843
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:27,930
Please come to me
to the refectory before you go.
1844
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,250
I'll make you a great
bowl of hot soup.
1845
01:40:30,280 --> 01:40:31,630
Of course, of course.
1846
01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:33,950
You're quite reasonable today.
1847
01:40:33,990 --> 01:40:36,120
Perhaps you'll convert me.
1848
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:38,260
Oh, no! Not for the world.
1849
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:40,690
Why, now I think of it,
that is so.
1850
01:40:41,070 --> 01:40:44,560
You, bursting with holiness,
and yet you never preach.
1851
01:40:45,470 --> 01:40:46,760
Astonishing.
1852
01:40:47,060 --> 01:40:49,100
And now I shall astonish you.
1853
01:40:49,690 --> 01:40:54,110
I'm going to let you
pray for me tonight, at Vespers.
1854
01:40:55,830 --> 01:40:58,700
Absolutely struck dumb, eh?
1855
01:41:02,550 --> 01:41:05,180
I did not wait for you
to say I might.
1856
01:41:14,930 --> 01:41:17,450
Now may the devil admire
me if never hope to see
1857
01:41:17,490 --> 01:41:19,570
the end of that embroidery.
1858
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:23,440
After 14 years,
late for the first time.
1859
01:41:23,480 --> 01:41:26,550
Yes.
Yes, maddening.
1860
01:41:27,330 --> 01:41:31,480
I was detained by
a visitor. Most unexpected.
1861
01:41:32,150 --> 01:41:33,660
An old friend of mine.
1862
01:41:34,540 --> 01:41:36,830
At least a very
old acquaintance.
1863
01:41:36,870 --> 01:41:38,320
Did you tell him
to go away?
1864
01:41:38,980 --> 01:41:40,410
For the time being, yes.
1865
01:41:40,440 --> 01:41:45,270
I said excuse me,
I see that it's Saturday,
1866
01:41:45,620 --> 01:41:48,200
I have a previous
engagement.
1867
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:49,620
One I cannot miss.
1868
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:52,340
Even for you.
1869
01:41:53,250 --> 01:41:55,310
Come back an hour from now.
1870
01:41:55,420 --> 01:41:59,170
Your friend will have to wait.
I shall not let you go till dark.
1871
01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:04,970
Perhaps a little before dark,
I must go.
1872
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:09,080
Oh, then tell me now
the court news. My Gazette.
1873
01:42:10,390 --> 01:42:14,190
Ah, yes, well, let me see.
1874
01:42:16,350 --> 01:42:20,840
Saturday, 19th, the King
fell ill after eight helpings of
1875
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:22,170
grape marmalade.
1876
01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:26,320
Grape marmalade will
no longer be served at court.
1877
01:42:28,190 --> 01:42:33,010
Sunday, the royal pulse
is now normal.
1878
01:42:34,630 --> 01:42:37,930
Monday, everyone was
talking about the success
1879
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:39,600
of Moliere's new play.
1880
01:42:40,830 --> 01:42:46,110
Tuesday, the King fell ill
after six helpings of marone glacee.
1881
01:42:47,910 --> 01:42:50,130
Marone glacee will no
longer be served at court.
1882
01:42:51,710 --> 01:42:55,700
Wednesday, the Compte de Firske
spoke to Madame de Monte Glas.
1883
01:42:56,500 --> 01:42:59,380
She said....no.
1884
01:43:01,480 --> 01:43:07,450
Thursday.... Nothing.
1885
01:43:07,490 --> 01:43:10,580
Friday, Madame de Monte Glas
said yes.
1886
01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:18,800
Saturday, 25th....
1887
01:43:19,450 --> 01:43:20,520
Cyrano!
1888
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:24,010
What is it?
Cyrano!
1889
01:43:28,660 --> 01:43:31,300
- Oh, no, no, it is nothing.
- What?
1890
01:43:31,750 --> 01:43:34,200
The old wound at Arras
sometimes...
1891
01:43:34,230 --> 01:43:36,980
- My poor friend.
- No, no, no, it is nothing.
1892
01:43:37,830 --> 01:43:39,350
It will soon be gone.
1893
01:43:41,010 --> 01:43:44,990
(gasp) There. 'Tis gone.
1894
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:48,480
We all have
our old wounds.
1895
01:43:49,020 --> 01:43:53,920
I have mine here,
under this faded scrap of writing.
1896
01:43:55,380 --> 01:43:57,340
It's hard to read now.
1897
01:43:58,370 --> 01:44:01,340
All for the blots
and tears.
1898
01:44:01,370 --> 01:44:02,560
His letter?
1899
01:44:03,480 --> 01:44:06,650
Did you not promise me,
that someday you would let me read it?
1900
01:44:07,090 --> 01:44:12,350
- This letter? You wish...?
- I do wish it....today.
1901
01:44:22,650 --> 01:44:24,230
Open it and read.
1902
01:44:49,700 --> 01:44:54,660
"Farewell, Roxane,
because today I die."
1903
01:44:54,690 --> 01:44:56,000
Aloud?
1904
01:44:57,180 --> 01:45:00,150
"I know that it will be today,
my own dearly beloved.
1905
01:45:01,630 --> 01:45:04,900
"Yet, my heart still so heavy
with love I have not told.
1906
01:45:06,440 --> 01:45:11,330
"And I shall die without telling you.
1907
01:45:11,900 --> 01:45:15,740
"No more shall my eyes
drink the sight of you like wine,
1908
01:45:16,230 --> 01:45:19,180
"never more with a look
that is a kiss,
1909
01:45:19,740 --> 01:45:22,430
"follow the sweet
grace of you."
1910
01:45:22,470 --> 01:45:24,400
How you read it.
His letter.
1911
01:45:24,440 --> 01:45:26,300
"I remember now the way you have
1912
01:45:26,340 --> 01:45:30,280
"of pushing back a lock of hair
with one hand from your forehead,
1913
01:45:30,860 --> 01:45:33,270
- "and my heart cries out..."
- His letter!
1914
01:45:33,310 --> 01:45:35,000
- "cries out and keeps crying."
1915
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:38,240
- You read it so...
- "Farewell, my dear, my dearest,"
1916
01:45:38,270 --> 01:45:40,650
- In a voice...
- "my own heart's own,"
1917
01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:44,230
- "my own treasure,"
- In such a voice!
- "my...love."
1918
01:45:44,260 --> 01:45:47,140
Yes, I remember hearing long ago.
1919
01:45:47,490 --> 01:45:52,210
"I am never away from you.
Even now I shall not leave you.
1920
01:45:53,110 --> 01:45:56,360
"In another world, I shall
still be that one who loves you,
1921
01:45:56,390 --> 01:46:00,110
"loves you beyond measure,
beyond..."
1922
01:46:09,180 --> 01:46:11,130
But, how can you read it now?
1923
01:46:14,420 --> 01:46:17,810
And all those 14 years
he has been the old friend
1924
01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:19,650
who came to me to be amusing.
1925
01:46:20,930 --> 01:46:23,170
- Roxane.
- It was you.
1926
01:46:23,910 --> 01:46:24,880
No, no, Roxane, no.
1927
01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:28,100
And I might have know it every time
that I heard you speak my name.
1928
01:46:28,130 --> 01:46:31,690
- No, it was not I.
- It was you!
- I swear.
1929
01:46:32,460 --> 01:46:34,810
- The letters. That was you.
- No.
1930
01:46:35,140 --> 01:46:38,960
- And the dear foolish words.
That was you.
- No.
1931
01:46:39,190 --> 01:46:43,290
- And the voice in the dark.
That was you.
- On my honor!
1932
01:46:43,330 --> 01:46:47,170
And the soul.
It was all you.
1933
01:46:47,270 --> 01:46:49,180
I never loved you.
1934
01:46:49,350 --> 01:46:50,850
Yes, you loved me.
1935
01:46:50,970 --> 01:46:52,740
Even now you love me.
1936
01:46:53,660 --> 01:46:55,610
(gasp)
No!
1937
01:46:55,650 --> 01:46:57,920
And twice you're great to know.
1938
01:46:57,950 --> 01:47:00,760
Oh, no, no, my own dear love,
I love you not.
1939
01:47:03,340 --> 01:47:05,840
Why were you silent
for so many years?
1940
01:47:06,580 --> 01:47:07,860
All the while.
1941
01:47:08,090 --> 01:47:11,110
Every night, and every day,
he gave me nothing.
1942
01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:13,120
You knew that.
1943
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:16,680
You knew in that letter
lying on my breast.
1944
01:47:17,940 --> 01:47:19,230
Your tears.
1945
01:47:20,580 --> 01:47:22,770
You knew they
were your tears.
1946
01:47:26,390 --> 01:47:28,270
The blood was his.
1947
01:47:29,370 --> 01:47:30,200
Cyrano!
1948
01:47:32,690 --> 01:47:34,320
Here! He's here.
1949
01:47:34,490 --> 01:47:36,270
Oh, what recklessness.
1950
01:47:36,310 --> 01:47:36,570
No.
1951
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:37,430
I knew it!
1952
01:47:37,490 --> 01:47:40,440
- Oh Madame he has killed
himself coming here.
- No. Shh.
1953
01:47:40,700 --> 01:47:42,220
That drink is, what is it?
1954
01:47:42,290 --> 01:47:45,510
Nothing. I did not
finish my Gazette.
1955
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:49,970
Saturday, 26th, an hour
or so before dinner
1956
01:47:50,540 --> 01:47:55,340
Ms. de Bergerac died,
foully murdered.
1957
01:47:55,690 --> 01:47:57,470
Cyrano, what have
they done to you?
1958
01:47:57,600 --> 01:47:59,540
How fate loves a jest.
1959
01:47:59,980 --> 01:48:03,000
Behold me ambushed,
taken unawares.
1960
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:08,830
My noble foe, a lackey.
My battlefield, a gutter.
1961
01:48:09,490 --> 01:48:10,950
It seems too logical.
1962
01:48:11,370 --> 01:48:13,040
They have missed everything,
1963
01:48:13,820 --> 01:48:15,290
even my death.
1964
01:48:16,330 --> 01:48:17,950
Sisters! Sisters!
1965
01:48:17,990 --> 01:48:21,350
No, do not go away.
I may not be here when you return.
1966
01:48:22,030 --> 01:48:23,760
You shall not die.
1967
01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:25,460
(sobbing)
I love you.
1968
01:48:25,490 --> 01:48:27,410
No, my lady,
it's not in the story.
1969
01:48:28,100 --> 01:48:29,900
When beauty said
I love you to the beast
1970
01:48:29,930 --> 01:48:32,990
all his ugliness changed
and dissolved, like magic.
1971
01:48:33,550 --> 01:48:37,370
But, you see,
I am still the same.
1972
01:48:37,440 --> 01:48:39,430
And I have
done this to you.
1973
01:48:39,470 --> 01:48:40,620
You? Why no.
1974
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:42,060
All my fault, mine!
1975
01:48:42,100 --> 01:48:43,320
On the contrary.
1976
01:48:44,060 --> 01:48:47,080
I have never know womanhood
in its sweetness, but for you.
1977
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:50,750
My mother did not
like to look at me.
1978
01:48:52,050 --> 01:48:53,530
I never had a sister.
1979
01:48:54,880 --> 01:49:01,130
Later, I feared those sweethearts
with mockery behind her smile.
1980
01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:06,150
But, because of you,
I have had across my life
1981
01:49:06,930 --> 01:49:10,600
one whispering, silken gown.
1982
01:49:12,780 --> 01:49:15,200
I never loved but
one man in my life.
1983
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:18,680
I have lost him, twice.
1984
01:49:19,660 --> 01:49:23,540
(sobbing)
1985
01:49:23,570 --> 01:49:27,890
I would not have you mourning
any less that good, noble Christian.
1986
01:49:28,980 --> 01:49:32,570
But, perhaps, I ask only this,
1987
01:49:34,100 --> 01:49:36,370
when the great cold
gathers around my bones,
1988
01:49:37,770 --> 01:49:42,590
you may give a double
meaning to your widow's weeds.
1989
01:49:43,910 --> 01:49:50,900
The tears you let fall for him,
may for a little, be my tears.
1990
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:53,040
Oh, my love!
1991
01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:58,400
No, not here.
Not lying down.
1992
01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:01,300
Let no one help me.
No one need help me.
1993
01:50:06,310 --> 01:50:07,430
It is coming.
1994
01:50:08,260 --> 01:50:11,460
I feel already shod with marble.
1995
01:50:12,720 --> 01:50:13,950
Gloved with lead.
1996
01:50:14,730 --> 01:50:16,700
Very well,
let the old fellow come now.
1997
01:50:17,190 --> 01:50:19,600
He shall find me
on my feet.
1998
01:50:21,670 --> 01:50:23,120
Sword in hand.
1999
01:50:23,160 --> 01:50:24,110
Cyrano!
2000
01:50:24,500 --> 01:50:25,890
He'd delirious.
2001
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:28,000
I see him now.
2002
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:28,700
He grins.
2003
01:50:28,740 --> 01:50:30,750
He is looking at my nose!
2004
01:50:30,790 --> 01:50:31,820
That skeleton.
2005
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:33,730
You there.
2006
01:50:33,970 --> 01:50:34,670
Who are you?
2007
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:36,950
A hundred against one, eh?
2008
01:50:37,300 --> 01:50:40,020
I know them now,
my ancient enemies.
2009
01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:40,960
Falsehood, there!
2010
01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:42,470
There, Prejudice!
2011
01:50:42,490 --> 01:50:44,100
Compromise, Cowardice.
2012
01:50:44,580 --> 01:50:47,160
What's that?
Surrender? No, never!
2013
01:50:47,190 --> 01:50:48,430
Never!
2014
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:50,820
Ah, you too, Vanity.
2015
01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:54,180
I knew you would
overthrow me in the end.
2016
01:50:54,210 --> 01:50:57,310
No, I fight, I fight on,
I fight....ow!
2017
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:01,000
(gasping)
2018
01:51:06,540 --> 01:51:08,550
All my laurels
you have riven away.
2019
01:51:10,290 --> 01:51:11,770
And my roses.
2020
01:51:12,940 --> 01:51:15,600
Yet, in spite of you,
there is one crown
2021
01:51:15,630 --> 01:51:16,980
I made away with me.
2022
01:51:17,020 --> 01:51:20,380
And tonight when I
enter before God,
2023
01:51:21,850 --> 01:51:27,140
my salute shall sweep away
the stars from the blue threshold.
2024
01:51:28,310 --> 01:51:33,240
One thing without stain,
unspotted from the world,
2025
01:51:34,240 --> 01:51:40,610
in spite of doom, mine own,
...and that is...
2026
01:51:43,220 --> 01:51:51,220
my...white...plume...

In seventeenth-century Paris, poet and supreme swordsman Cyrano de Bergerac (José Ferrer) stops a play from being shown because he ostensibly cannot stand the bombastic style of the principal actor, Montfleury (Arthur Blake). An annoyed aristocratic fop, the Vicomte de Valvert (Albert Cavens), provokes him into a duel by tritely insulting Cyrano's enormous nose. Cyrano first mocks his lack of wit, improvising numerous inventive ways in which Valvert could have phrased it (much to the amusement of the audience). He then composes a ballade for the occasion on the spot and recites it during the sword fight. With the last line, he stabs his opponent.
Cyrano's friend Le Bret (Morris Carnovsky), Captain of the Gascony Guards, warns him he has made powerful enemies of his victim's friends, but he is unconcerned. When Le Bret presses him to reveal the real reason he hates Montfleury, Cyrano admits that he became jealous when he saw the actor smiling at his beautiful cousin Roxane (Mala Powers). He confesses that he is in love with her, but harbors no hope of it being returned because of his nose. When he receives a request from Roxane to see her in the morning, he is finally emboldened to act.
Then pastry chef and fellow poet Ragueneau (Lloyd Corrigan) approaches him for help. Ragueneau has learned that a nobleman he had mocked with his verses, the Comte De Guiche (Ralph Clanton), has hired a hundred ruffians to teach him a lesson. Cyrano escorts him, kills eight of the horde, and drives off the rest.
The next day, before he can tell Roxane of his feelings, she informs him that she has fallen in love with a handsome guardsman, Christian de Neuvillette (William Prince), though she has not even spoken to him. Cyrano hides his devastation and agrees to help her.
Cyrano befriends the young man, who is in Cyrano's guards' unit, and discovers that he is infatuated with Roxane, but is too inept with words to woo her. To help him, Cyrano composes Christian's love letters to Roxane, which she finds irresistible. Later, Christian decides he wants no more help and tries to speak to Roxane face to face, but fails miserably and she re-enters her house in an angry huff. Cyrano, hiding in the bushes, comes to his rescue, but this time by imitating Christian's voice and speaking to Roxane from under her balcony. He is so eloquent that he (unintentionally) wins a kiss for Christian from Roxane.
When the arrogant Comte De Guiche, who is also wooing Roxane, pressures her to marry him, Cyrano delays him long enough for her to wed Christian instead. Furious, De Guiche, Christian's commander, orders him to join his unit immediately for a war against the Spanish, preventing the couple from spending their wedding night together.
With Cyrano under his command as well, De Guiche earns the swordsman's respect by his conduct in the war. From the field, Cyrano sends Roxane letters every day, supposedly written by Christian. Roxane visits her husband in camp and tells him that she now has fallen in love with him not merely for his looks but because of his words, and would love him even if he were ugly. Realizing that she really loves Cyrano, Christian gets his rival to agree to tell Roxane the truth and let her decide between them. But before the opportunity arises, Christian volunteers for a dangerous mission and is fatally wounded, silencing Cyrano.
Roxane enters a convent in mourning. Years pass, with Cyrano visiting Roxane weekly, having retired from the military and writing satirical articles mocking the nobility. De Guiche, who has also befriended her and has come to respect Cyrano, has overheard a courtier plotting against Cyrano. De Guiche warns Roxane that Cyrano's life may be in danger. One night, Cyrano is lured into an ambush; the poet is run down by a carriage. Near death, he hides his injuries and goes to keep his appointment with Roxane for the last time. His secret love for Roxane is finally revealed when he recites from memory the last of his love letters, which she has kept, but it is too late. Cyrano first slips into delirium, then dies, leaving Roxane to mourn a second time.

Leave the stage at once!
7
00:02:43,970 --> 00:02:44,620
- Who is it?
8
00:02:44,650 --> 00:02:47,570
It's Cyrano.
I was afraid he'd do this.

- Let's be quiet.

12

00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:17,790
Begone! Or must I come and
help you off the stage myself?
17

Fat swine, if you dare breathe

20
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,640
I'll fan your cheeks
for you!
21

Monsieur, won't you all
protect me?
22
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,090
- Proceed, proceed.
- Go on.
23
00:03:38,130 --> 00:03:40,880
Sir, I will not allow you
to insult me in this manner.
24
00:03:40,910 --> 00:03:43,520
Really?
What manner would you prefer?
25
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:44,850
Quiet, down there!
26
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,940
- We'll tolerate
no more of this.
27
00:03:47,870 --> 00:03:49,720
Go on with the play,
Montfleury.

My cousin, sir.
33
00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:04,710
Well, Montfleury,
still no exit?
34
00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:06,930
- Very well then,
I enter
35
00:04:06,970 --> 00:04:11,740
with knife, to carve
this fat, stuffed goose.

Silence.

I say be silent!
43
00:04:35,450 --> 00:04:38,260
And I offer one universal
challenge to you all:
44
00:04:38,460 --> 00:04:41,410
Will all who wish to die,
please raise their hands.
45
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,360
Approach, young heroes.
I will take your names.
46
00:04:45,140 --> 00:04:47,830
To the first man who falls
I'll build a monument.
47
00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:49,710
Who will head the list?
48
00:04:50,010 --> 00:04:50,780
You, sir?
49
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,000
No.
50
00:04:52,830 --> 00:04:53,610
You?
51
00:04:54,470 --> 00:04:55,170
No, no.
52
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,770
Anyone?
53
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,600
Anyone at all?
54
00:05:01,110 --> 00:05:03,550
Not one...name?
55
00:05:04,260 --> 00:05:06,420
Not one finger?
56
00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:10,260
Very well then,
I go on.
57
00:05:16,130 --> 00:05:18,810
Attend to me, Full Moon.
58
00:05:21,340 --> 00:05:24,190
I clap my hands three times, thus.
59
00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:26,740
(three claps)
60
00:05:26,770 --> 00:05:30,320
At the third, you will...
eclipse yourself.
61
00:05:30,490 --> 00:05:31,390
Ready!
62
00:05:32,110 --> 00:05:32,910
One.
63
00:05:34,010 --> 00:05:34,900
(clap)
64
00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:36,070
How dare you.
65
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:37,210
I demand!
66
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,070
I insist.
67
00:05:38,110 --> 00:05:40,150
- I call upon all the nobles...
- Two!
68
00:05:41,010 --> 00:05:42,080
(clap)
69
00:05:42,110 --> 00:05:43,090
This is an outrage.
70
00:05:43,130 --> 00:05:44,040
You hear, an outrage.
71
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:46,620
Nothing on earth
will move me from this stage.
72
00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:48,800
Three!
73
00:05:49,570 --> 00:05:49,910
(clap)
74
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:55,410
(laughter)
75
00:05:56,260 --> 00:05:59,210
Fair ladies and noble gentlemen...
- Boo!
76
00:05:59,250 --> 00:06:02,560
(laughter)
77
00:06:02,950 --> 00:06:04,210
But, Monsieur de Bergerac,
78
00:06:04,250 --> 00:06:07,490
why have you done this
to our Montfleury, an admirable actor?
79
00:06:07,530 --> 00:06:10,090
I have two reasons,
either one conclusive.
80
00:06:10,670 --> 00:06:12,800
First, he is an
abominable actor,
81
00:06:12,830 --> 00:06:15,870
who mouths his verse
and moans his tragedy.
82
00:06:16,350 --> 00:06:17,630
Second,....
83
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:20,970
Well, that's my secret.
84
00:06:22,530 --> 00:06:25,280
But...
But you've closed the play!
85
00:06:25,310 --> 00:06:26,880
It is not a very good play.
86
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:28,970
Huh!
And of their money?
87
00:06:29,010 --> 00:06:31,080
Possibly you would like
that returned to these good people.
88
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:31,960
Yes?
89
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,360
Yes.
90
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:35,830
Here,...catch!
91
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:37,920
(crowd murmurs)
92
00:06:38,410 --> 00:06:41,960
Well, Monsieur, you are hereby
authorized to close our play every night.
93
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,200
On these terms.
94
00:06:43,230 --> 00:06:43,740
(laughter)
95
00:06:43,780 --> 00:06:46,400
Ladies and gentlemen,
your money will be returned.
96
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,250
Kindly pass out, quietly.
97
00:06:48,290 --> 00:06:50,030
Goodnight, goodnight.
98
00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:53,220
(crowd accepts
in good spirits)
99
00:06:55,740 --> 00:06:57,120
(until...)
100
00:06:59,530 --> 00:07:02,610
Your cousin is an
extraordinary man, Madame.
101
00:07:02,650 --> 00:07:04,080
Oh, I agree.
102
00:07:04,410 --> 00:07:08,550
Soldier, poet, philosopher,
musician, playwright.
103
00:07:08,580 --> 00:07:09,570
All those?
104
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,360
Yes, and the best
swordsman in Paris.
105
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,310
Really?
106
00:07:14,340 --> 00:07:17,060
Now, I should have thought
the Vicomte here had that honor.
107
00:07:17,310 --> 00:07:21,360
Tell me, Madame, that
comic mask, that nose,
108
00:07:21,390 --> 00:07:23,300
presently he will take it off?
109
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:25,950
No, Monsieur, he keeps it.
110
00:07:26,450 --> 00:07:29,350
And heaven help
the man who smiles.
111
00:07:29,850 --> 00:07:31,060
Good night.
112
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,880
Oh, Monsieur!
113
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,980
Monsieur!
114
00:07:40,020 --> 00:07:42,710
Uh, when do you leave Paris?
115
00:07:43,210 --> 00:07:44,100
Sir?
116
00:07:44,250 --> 00:07:46,280
Why, after what you've
just done to Montfleury,
117
00:07:46,310 --> 00:07:48,750
did you not know that
the Compte de Guiche was his patron?
118
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:50,190
Who's yours?
119
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:52,140
No one.
120
00:07:52,170 --> 00:07:52,940
No one?
121
00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:53,870
No patron?
122
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:54,630
I said not.
123
00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:56,900
But the Compte de Guiche
has a long arm.
124
00:07:56,930 --> 00:07:58,900
Mine is longer
by three feet of steel.
125
00:07:59,530 --> 00:08:00,180
Yes, but..
126
00:08:00,860 --> 00:08:02,160
but, what a scare...
127
00:08:02,190 --> 00:08:02,990
You may go now.
128
00:08:03,020 --> 00:08:04,510
- but...
- You may go.
129
00:08:05,810 --> 00:08:08,620
Well, tell me,
why are you staring at my nose?
130
00:08:08,650 --> 00:08:10,160
Oh, I was not staring.
131
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:11,630
Does it astonish you?
132
00:08:11,660 --> 00:08:13,920
Why n...Why no, I've been careful
not to look.
133
00:08:13,950 --> 00:08:15,510
Oh, and why not, if you please?
134
00:08:15,550 --> 00:08:16,730
It disgusts you, then?
135
00:08:16,770 --> 00:08:17,880
But, no, I just...
136
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,700
Does its color appear
to you unwholesome?
137
00:08:19,730 --> 00:08:20,480
By no means.
138
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,310
Then, possibly you find it
just a trifle large?
139
00:08:22,340 --> 00:08:24,500
No, small, very small, tiny!
140
00:08:24,530 --> 00:08:25,640
Infinitesimal!
141
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,960
What?
You accuse me of absurdity?
142
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,730
Small, my nose?
Why magnificent, my nose!
143
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,900
You pug, you knob,
you button head,
144
00:08:34,930 --> 00:08:37,170
know that I glory
in this nose of mine!
145
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,400
For a great nose
indicates a great man,
146
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:45,440
congenial, courteous,
intellectual, virile, courageous.
147
00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:48,050
Whilst that face of yours,
148
00:08:48,370 --> 00:08:54,070
that blank, inglorious concavity
which my right hand finds on top of you,
149
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:59,630
is as devoid of pride, of poetry,
of soul, of picturesqueness,
150
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:04,810
of contour, of character,
of nose, in short,
151
00:09:04,850 --> 00:09:09,740
as that which is at the bottom of
that limp spine of yours my left foot...
- Oh, help!
152
00:09:09,780 --> 00:09:11,550
(laughter)
153
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:13,840
Presently, this fellow
will grow tiresome.
154
00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:16,590
Oh, he blows his horn.
155
00:09:17,330 --> 00:09:19,800
- Well, will no one
put him in his place?
156
00:09:20,270 --> 00:09:22,660
If you would all me.
Observe.
157
00:09:25,090 --> 00:09:31,260
Monsieur, your nose,
your nose is rather large.
158
00:09:34,450 --> 00:09:35,400
Rather?
159
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,350
Oh, well.
160
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:37,620
Is that all?
161
00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:38,540
Well, of course, you...
162
00:09:38,570 --> 00:09:40,400
Ah, no young sir, you're too simple.
163
00:09:40,430 --> 00:09:42,620
Why, you might have
said a great many things.
164
00:09:42,650 --> 00:09:44,800
Why waste your opportunity?
165
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:45,860
For example, thus...
166
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:47,450
Aggressive---
167
00:09:47,490 --> 00:09:51,040
I, sir, if that great nose were mine,
I would have it amputated on the spot.
168
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:52,710
Practical---
169
00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:56,570
How do you drink with such a nose.
You must have had a cup made especially.
170
00:09:56,850 --> 00:09:57,880
Descriptive---
171
00:09:57,910 --> 00:10:00,570
'Tis a rock, a crag, a cape.
172
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,510
A cape, say rather, a peninsula.
173
00:10:05,890 --> 00:10:06,990
Inquisitive---
174
00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:11,400
Uh, what is that receptacle,
a razor case or a portfolio?
175
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,680
Kindly---
176
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,840
Ah, do you love the little birds so much
that when they come and sing to you,
177
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,690
you give them this to perch on?
178
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,570
Cautious---
179
00:10:20,610 --> 00:10:24,120
Take care. A weight like that
might make you top-heavy.
180
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,250
Eloquent---
181
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,510
When it blows the typhoon howls
and the clouds darken.
182
00:10:29,580 --> 00:10:30,400
Dramatic---
183
00:10:30,430 --> 00:10:34,690
When it bleeds...the Red Sea.
184
00:10:35,540 --> 00:10:36,530
Simple---
185
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:39,640
Eh, when do they
unveil the monument?
186
00:10:40,020 --> 00:10:40,900
Military---
187
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:43,510
Beware, a secret weapon!
188
00:10:44,290 --> 00:10:45,620
Enterprising---
189
00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:48,080
What a sigh for some perfumer!
190
00:10:48,490 --> 00:10:49,300
Respectful---
191
00:10:49,330 --> 00:10:52,050
Uh sir, I recognize in you
a man of parts,
192
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,740
a man of...prominence.
193
00:10:54,770 --> 00:10:56,500
Or, Literary---
194
00:10:56,530 --> 00:10:59,360
Was this the nose
that launched a thousand ships?
195
00:11:00,010 --> 00:11:02,850
These, my dear sir, are things
you might have said had you
196
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,690
some tinge of letters or of wit
to color your discourse.
197
00:11:05,810 --> 00:11:07,970
Bit wit not so.
You never had an atom.
198
00:11:08,270 --> 00:11:14,480
And of letters, you need
but three to write you down, a..s..s.
199
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:16,530
Ass.
200
00:11:16,570 --> 00:11:18,040
- (laughter)
- You, sir!
201
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,600
Dolt! Bumpkin! Fool!
202
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:26,620
How do you do, and I,
Cyrano Savinien Hercule de Bergerac.
203
00:11:26,650 --> 00:11:28,050
Vicomte, come.
204
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,650
Such arrogance.
This scarecrow who...
205
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:31,850
Look at him!
206
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,120
No ribbons. No lace.
Not even gloves!
207
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,700
True. I carry my adornments
only on my soul.
208
00:11:39,740 --> 00:11:41,860
Decked with deeds
instead of ribbons.
209
00:11:41,890 --> 00:11:43,420
Mantled in my good name,
210
00:11:43,460 --> 00:11:45,350
and crowned with a
white plume of freedom.
211
00:11:45,380 --> 00:11:46,130
But..
212
00:11:46,170 --> 00:11:47,510
But, I have no gloves.
213
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:48,630
A pity, too.
214
00:11:48,670 --> 00:11:51,630
I had one, the last one of an old pair,
and lost that.
215
00:11:51,660 --> 00:11:53,250
Very careless of me.
216
00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:55,750
Some gentleman offered me
an impertinence.
217
00:11:55,790 --> 00:11:59,840
I left it in his face.
218
00:11:59,870 --> 00:12:00,840
So be it!
219
00:12:02,110 --> 00:12:05,050
You shall die exquisitely
220
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,160
Oh, a poet.
221
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,640
Oh, yes, a poet if you will.
222
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:11,510
So, uh, while we fight,
I'll improvise a ballad for you,
223
00:12:11,540 --> 00:12:15,270
and as I end the refrain,
...skhrch!...thrust home.
224
00:12:15,310 --> 00:12:16,280
Will you?
225
00:12:17,180 --> 00:12:18,130
I will.
226
00:12:21,820 --> 00:12:23,420
(excited crowd)
227
00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:26,890
Ballad au Duel
at the Theatre de Burgoyne
228
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,320
between de Bergerac,
and uh.....a barbarian.
229
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,240
What do you mean by that?
230
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,000
Oh, that?
231
00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:34,960
The title.
232
00:12:34,990 --> 00:12:36,570
(laughter)
233
00:12:36,610 --> 00:12:38,200
Stop. Let me choose my rhyme.
234
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:47,640
So. Here we go.
235
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:50,070
Lightly I toss my hat away.
236
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:55,440
Languidly o'er my arm let fall
the cloak that covers my bright array.
237
00:12:55,510 --> 00:13:00,770
Then, out swords,
and to work withal.
238
00:13:02,660 --> 00:13:05,720
A Lancelot in his lady's hall,
239
00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:10,580
A Spartacus at the Hippodrome,
240
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,340
I dally a while with you..
241
00:13:13,380 --> 00:13:14,750
you jackall.
242
00:13:32,810 --> 00:13:34,360
Just as I end the refrain,
243
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,380
thrust home!
244
00:13:51,290 --> 00:13:54,220
Where shall I skewer my peacock again?
245
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,160
Nay, better for you
to have shunned this brawl.
246
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,010
Here in the heart
or your ribbons, gay,
247
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,610
in the belly
'neath you silken shawl?
248
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,130
Now, come my points floats,
light as the foam
249
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,640
ready to drive you
back to the wall,
250
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:20,030
and then as I end the refrain,
251
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,440
thrust home.
252
00:14:21,930 --> 00:14:23,210
Oh, for a rhyme.
253
00:14:23,580 --> 00:14:25,060
Why, your fight is fading.
254
00:14:25,420 --> 00:14:26,040
You break.
255
00:14:26,350 --> 00:14:26,970
You cower.
256
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:27,600
You cringe.
257
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:28,200
You crawl.
258
00:14:29,310 --> 00:14:30,740
How can I tell
you're allowed to say
259
00:14:30,780 --> 00:14:31,750
something to turn on my head
260
00:14:31,790 --> 00:14:32,720
forestall.....
261
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:33,660
Life with a tunny
262
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:34,970
death with a scall.
263
00:14:35,010 --> 00:14:36,760
Something to turn on my fancy roam,
264
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,670
free for a time till the rhyme's recall,
265
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,620
then as I end the refrain,
266
00:14:40,650 --> 00:14:41,620
thrust home!
267
00:14:43,810 --> 00:14:44,670
Refrain.
268
00:14:45,550 --> 00:14:48,960
Prince,
pray God that is Lord of all,
269
00:14:48,990 --> 00:14:50,840
pardon you soul,
270
00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:54,190
for your time has come.
271
00:14:56,860 --> 00:14:58,820
Pass! I fling you aslant, asprawl.
272
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:00,590
Then as I end the refrain,
273
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,680
thrust home!
274
00:15:41,820 --> 00:15:45,390
(shouts of hurray
and congratulation)
275
00:15:47,130 --> 00:15:49,470
Ladies and gentlemen,
please, please,
276
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:50,790
not until the performance is over.
277
00:15:51,070 --> 00:15:51,980
Close the house.
278
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:52,820
A strike,
279
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,340
but leave the lights.
280
00:15:54,380 --> 00:15:56,070
We rehearse the new
farce tonight.
281
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,240
Wait.
282
00:16:04,110 --> 00:16:05,570
You have only to watch a fight,
283
00:16:05,610 --> 00:16:07,530
or have you ruined
if you listen to them.
284
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:11,570
Think of the enemies you've made,
285
00:16:11,610 --> 00:16:14,050
Montfleury, the Vicomte,
if he lives,
286
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,380
all those foppish marquis,
the Comte de Guiche.
287
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:18,970
That politician.
288
00:16:19,010 --> 00:16:21,910
He's the Cardinal's nephew.
There's power there!
289
00:16:21,950 --> 00:16:23,330
And power here.
290
00:16:23,370 --> 00:16:24,680
Young fool!
291
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,540
Take an example from me.
292
00:16:26,570 --> 00:16:29,810
20 years a captain,
while others who know only
293
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,750
how to deploy their
forces at court
294
00:16:31,780 --> 00:16:33,890
now dangle a marshal's baton.
295
00:16:33,930 --> 00:16:37,360
Well, uh, someday
I will avenge you, too.
296
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,530
Impossible.
Come on, let's go to dinner.
297
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,830
Dinner?
No, not I.
298
00:16:41,860 --> 00:16:42,540
Why not?
299
00:16:42,580 --> 00:16:44,530
Because I have no money.
300
00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:46,150
But, the purse of gold.
301
00:16:46,180 --> 00:16:48,140
Farewell paternal pension.
302
00:16:48,180 --> 00:16:51,430
And you have
until the first of next month?
303
00:16:51,470 --> 00:16:52,310
Nothing.
304
00:16:53,140 --> 00:16:54,460
What a fool.
305
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:56,770
Yes, but, what a moment.
306
00:16:56,810 --> 00:16:57,670
- Pardon, Monsieur.
307
00:17:00,010 --> 00:17:01,770
A man ought
never to go hungry.
308
00:17:02,690 --> 00:17:04,150
I have everything here.
309
00:17:05,490 --> 00:17:06,360
Please.
310
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,080
My dear child, I cannot bend this Gascon
pride of mine to accept such a kindness.
311
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:11,820
But, I...
312
00:17:12,910 --> 00:17:15,810
Yet, for fear that
I may give you pain if I refuse,
313
00:17:16,550 --> 00:17:18,190
I will take something.
314
00:17:19,630 --> 00:17:20,660
A grape.
315
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:25,160
One only.
316
00:17:25,820 --> 00:17:27,170
And a glass of water.
317
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,650
No, clear.
318
00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:35,750
And, uh,...half a macaroon.
319
00:17:37,010 --> 00:17:38,100
Nothing more?
320
00:17:39,060 --> 00:17:39,920
Why, yes.
321
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,230
Your hand to kiss.
322
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,510
Thank you, sir.
323
00:18:02,090 --> 00:18:03,100
Good night.
324
00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:10,290
Idiot.
325
00:18:13,170 --> 00:18:13,890
Dinner.
326
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,160
Drink.
327
00:18:18,830 --> 00:18:19,720
Desert.
328
00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:24,670
Mon Dieux, I was hungry,
abominably.
329
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:26,320
Tell me.
330
00:18:26,590 --> 00:18:27,440
Anything.
331
00:18:27,790 --> 00:18:29,920
Why to you hate
this Montfleury?
332
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:32,860
A very bad actor.
333
00:18:32,890 --> 00:18:34,860
Ah, come now, the real
reason, the truth.
334
00:18:36,610 --> 00:18:39,600
That fat goat who cannot hold
his belly in his arms,
335
00:18:39,630 --> 00:18:42,590
still dreams of being
sweetly dangerous among the women.
336
00:18:43,230 --> 00:18:47,610
Sighs and languishes, making sheep's
eyes out of his great frog's face.
337
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:52,750
I hate him ever since one day
he dared smile upon....
338
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,220
Oh, my friend, I seemed to see over
some flower a great snail crawling.
339
00:19:00,090 --> 00:19:01,180
Eh, what?
340
00:19:02,170 --> 00:19:03,340
Is it possible?
341
00:19:04,890 --> 00:19:06,180
For me to love?
342
00:19:08,770 --> 00:19:09,660
I love.
343
00:19:10,370 --> 00:19:12,570
Whom?
May I know?
344
00:19:12,610 --> 00:19:13,620
Whom I love?
345
00:19:15,070 --> 00:19:16,000
Think a moment.
346
00:19:16,210 --> 00:19:17,280
Think of me.
347
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,670
Me, whom the plainest
woman would despise.
348
00:19:21,030 --> 00:19:25,010
Me, with this nose of mine that
marches on before me by a quarter of an hour.
349
00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:28,000
Whom shall I love.
350
00:19:29,890 --> 00:19:34,930
Why, of course, it must be the
woman in the world most beautiful.
351
00:19:35,780 --> 00:19:37,170
Most beautiful?
352
00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:42,920
In these eyes of mine....
beyond compare.
353
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:44,070
Wait.
354
00:19:44,510 --> 00:19:46,440
Your cousin, Roxane.
355
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,300
Yes.
356
00:19:50,170 --> 00:19:51,080
Roxane.
357
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,810
Well?
358
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,020
Why not?
If you love her, tell her so.
359
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,170
My old friend.
360
00:20:01,150 --> 00:20:03,550
Look at me and tell me how
much hope remains for me
361
00:20:03,580 --> 00:20:04,970
with this protuberance.
362
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,360
Ahhh, I have no more illusions.
363
00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:12,140
Now and then I may grow tender
walking alone in the blue of evening
364
00:20:12,170 --> 00:20:16,130
through some garden fresh with flowers
after the benediction of the rain.
365
00:20:16,980 --> 00:20:20,930
My poor big devil of a nose
inhales April.
366
00:20:21,460 --> 00:20:26,950
And I follow with my eyes where
some boy with a girl upon his arm,
367
00:20:27,510 --> 00:20:32,130
passes a patch of silver...
and I feel somehow....
368
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,490
I wish I had a woman, too,
369
00:20:36,670 --> 00:20:41,660
walking with me under the moon,
and holding my arm and smiling.
370
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:44,240
Then I dream.
371
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:46,140
I forget.
372
00:20:49,510 --> 00:20:53,210
And then I see the shadow
of my profile on the wall.
373
00:20:54,750 --> 00:20:56,050
My friend.
374
00:20:57,180 --> 00:20:58,230
My friend.
375
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,370
I have my bitter days,
knowing myself so ugly, so alone.
376
00:21:03,410 --> 00:21:05,260
Ah, but your wit, your courage,
377
00:21:05,540 --> 00:21:08,170
why that poor child who just
now offered you your dinner,
378
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,710
your saw it, her eyes
did not avoid you.
379
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,920
That is true.
380
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,930
Well, then, Roxane herself,
watching your duel, pale.
381
00:21:18,970 --> 00:21:19,480
Pale?
382
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,670
Yes, her lips parted.
Her hand at her breast, thus.
383
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,020
I saw it.
384
00:21:24,260 --> 00:21:27,260
Speak to her. Speak, man.
385
00:21:35,890 --> 00:21:37,550
She might laugh at me.
386
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:42,480
It is the one thing
in this world I fear.
387
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,490
Pardon, Monsieur,
a lady outside asking for you.
388
00:21:48,410 --> 00:21:49,750
Monsieur.
389
00:21:50,340 --> 00:21:51,270
A Duenna.
390
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,530
I have a message for you
from a...a certain lady.
391
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,760
She desires to know when
and where she may see you privately.
392
00:21:57,810 --> 00:22:00,070
She has certain
things to tell you.
393
00:22:00,690 --> 00:22:01,850
Certain...
394
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,010
Things!
395
00:22:04,230 --> 00:22:05,720
She wishes to see me?
396
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,410
We go tomorrow at dawn
to hear mass at St. Rupe
397
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,070
And afterwards, where
would you suggest?
398
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:12,630
Well, then, I...
399
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:15,300
- Where?
- Well?
400
00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:17,070
Ah....I am thinking.
401
00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:18,080
And you think?
402
00:22:19,770 --> 00:22:20,590
Where?
403
00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:22,060
The shop at Ragueneau's.
404
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:24,580
Yes, yes, Ragueneau,
the pastry cook.
405
00:22:24,620 --> 00:22:25,400
Who dwells?
406
00:22:26,650 --> 00:22:27,590
Rue Saint Honore.
407
00:22:27,630 --> 00:22:28,690
Eh...Rue Saint Honore.
408
00:22:28,730 --> 00:22:33,530
We are agreed. At 7 o'clock.
Until then. Adieu.
409
00:22:38,790 --> 00:22:39,940
I'll be there.
410
00:22:41,620 --> 00:22:44,110
Me! To see me!
411
00:22:44,260 --> 00:22:45,830
Ah, not quite so gloomy.
412
00:22:45,870 --> 00:22:47,580
After all, she knows
that I exist.
413
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,060
Imagine, she has
asked to see me!
414
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:52,240
So, now you're
going to be happy?
415
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,350
Happy.
I'm going to be a storm.
A flame!
416
00:22:55,390 --> 00:22:58,430
I need to fight whole
armies all alone!
417
00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,840
I have ten hearts!
418
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,280
I have a hundred arms!.
419
00:23:01,310 --> 00:23:04,450
I feel too strong
to war with mortals!
420
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,150
BRING ME GIANTS!
421
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:11,240
Quiet, please, shhh.
We are rehearsing back here.
422
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,600
So sorry.
Ha, ha, ha.
423
00:23:21,490 --> 00:23:22,280
Cyrano.
424
00:23:22,830 --> 00:23:23,630
Cyrano.
425
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,590
Ragueneau.
426
00:23:26,150 --> 00:23:27,910
Oh, thank goodness
you're still here.
427
00:23:27,950 --> 00:23:29,180
Well, what's the matter.
428
00:23:29,210 --> 00:23:30,410
I'm afraid to go home.
429
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,040
Why?
430
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,050
You know those
comic verses I wrote?
431
00:23:33,090 --> 00:23:34,830
About the congregation.
432
00:23:34,860 --> 00:23:37,260
Cyrano, he's hired ruffians.
Bullies.
433
00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:39,740
A hundred, waiting for
me on the way home.
434
00:23:39,780 --> 00:23:41,620
They're gonna beat me.
Cane me!
435
00:23:41,650 --> 00:23:44,450
Please, would you permit me
to spend the night with you?
436
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,420
A hundred men,
is that all?
437
00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:49,610
Ragueneau, you're
going home tonight.
438
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,630
But they're armed.
They're cutthroats!
439
00:23:51,690 --> 00:23:53,620
Take this lantern.
Forward march.
440
00:23:53,660 --> 00:23:55,760
I say that I'll be the man
to see you to your shop.
441
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,150
Not you, I want no help from you.
442
00:23:57,190 --> 00:23:58,510
For even for a hundred,
you're mad.
443
00:23:58,550 --> 00:23:59,730
Those are the odds I want.
444
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,420
Why for this pastry cook?
445
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,820
First, because this
pastry cook is a friend of mine.
446
00:24:04,930 --> 00:24:07,820
Second, because this
pastry cook is also a poet.
447
00:24:07,950 --> 00:24:09,360
And, most important,
448
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:12,000
if anything should
happen to this pastry cook,
449
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:16,870
tomorrow morning at seven
his shop will be closed.
450
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:19,590
Goodnight.
451
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,060
(a whistle signal)
452
00:25:37,430 --> 00:25:38,480
Cyrano. Help!
453
00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:43,580
Look out behind you!
454
00:26:22,750 --> 00:26:23,810
I have been robbed.
455
00:26:24,370 --> 00:26:26,070
- There are no hundred here.
456
00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:32,360
It's, it's, it's...
457
00:26:33,820 --> 00:26:35,230
Be quick. Inside.
458
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,550
Bolt the door!
459
00:26:48,510 --> 00:26:49,310
Ah!
460
00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:08,660
Yah!
461
00:27:10,460 --> 00:27:12,210
(ruffians shouting)
462
00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:01,010
Ah!
463
00:28:03,860 --> 00:28:04,560
Awk.
464
00:28:05,860 --> 00:28:08,030
(ruffians shouting)
465
00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:17,280
(Le Bret)
- Cyrano!
466
00:28:17,310 --> 00:28:18,320
- Hold!
467
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:34,330
Ah.
468
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,420
How do you feel?
469
00:28:37,460 --> 00:28:39,540
Oh, pleasantly exhilarated.
470
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:42,990
- Come, I know a little tavern not far...
- Where's Ragueneau?
471
00:28:43,310 --> 00:28:46,320
Ragueneau?
Ragueneau!
472
00:28:46,730 --> 00:28:49,510
Little boy, come out.
All's well!
473
00:28:50,330 --> 00:28:51,990
- Is it over?
- All over.
474
00:28:52,220 --> 00:28:53,020
Really?
475
00:28:54,500 --> 00:28:55,340
So soon?
476
00:28:55,370 --> 00:28:56,140
Ha, ha, ha.
477
00:28:56,170 --> 00:28:59,480
Oh, if only I'd had my sword.
How many did we kill?
478
00:28:59,510 --> 00:29:00,330
Oh, about eight.
479
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:00,960
Eight.
480
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,410
Eight!
481
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,420
Ohhhh.
482
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,910
This.....gentleman
begins to annoy me.
483
00:29:31,980 --> 00:29:33,630
(Ragueneau is a poet, too.)
484
00:29:35,060 --> 00:29:40,010
No. The sauce and meat must rhyme.
Add a pinch of marigold and thyme.
485
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,960
Your house, of course, needs a stronger roof.
Eh? There's proof.
486
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:45,830
Cyrano.
487
00:29:46,830 --> 00:29:47,500
Cyrano.
488
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,100
Come in and eat.
489
00:29:49,130 --> 00:29:51,110
- What time is it?
- Not quite seven.
490
00:29:51,130 --> 00:29:54,140
Oh, now, please, Cyrano.
A man without breakfast is like...
491
00:29:54,180 --> 00:29:56,720
No.
Could she have changed her mind?
492
00:29:56,750 --> 00:29:57,920
Aw, she wouldn't dare.
493
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,900
We were magnificent last night.
494
00:30:00,370 --> 00:30:01,830
And at the theater, too.
495
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,320
'Then, as I end the refrain'....
496
00:30:04,350 --> 00:30:07,390
When she arrives.
Where can we converse undisturbed?
497
00:30:07,420 --> 00:30:09,190
Wherever you like.
My shop is yours.
498
00:30:09,310 --> 00:30:11,900
The little dining room
is quite romantic.
499
00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:14,490
'Thrust home!'
Yea gods, what a line.
500
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,650
- 'Then as I end the re....'
- Vanish.
501
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:18,110
- Uh, huh, she's come?
- Shhhh.
502
00:30:18,140 --> 00:30:18,920
I swear.
503
00:30:27,340 --> 00:30:28,170
Welcome.
504
00:30:38,470 --> 00:30:40,510
- A pardon, one word.
- Oh, yes?
505
00:30:40,550 --> 00:30:41,520
Have you a good digestion?
506
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,430
Oh, wonderful.
507
00:30:43,290 --> 00:30:48,800
Eh, here are some éclairs.
Uh, creampuffs.
508
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,160
Some, uh, jellyrolls.
And do you like nature?
509
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,400
I adore it.
510
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,760
Go out and eat these in the sunshine.
Do not return.
511
00:30:56,790 --> 00:30:57,440
But why?
512
00:30:57,470 --> 00:30:58,910
Until you have finished them.
513
00:30:58,940 --> 00:31:00,340
(outside)
- What do I do then?
514
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,750
(door closes)
515
00:31:09,970 --> 00:31:13,000
Blessed above all others be the hour
when you remember to remember me,
516
00:31:13,230 --> 00:31:15,800
and came to tell me......what?
517
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,750
To tell you that....
518
00:31:19,060 --> 00:31:21,810
Before I dare tell you I....
519
00:31:22,020 --> 00:31:24,850
Are you, I wonder, still
the same big brother almost
520
00:31:24,890 --> 00:31:26,720
that you used to be
when we were children,
521
00:31:26,750 --> 00:31:29,570
playing by the pond
in the old garden down there?
522
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,570
At Bergerac.
Those lovely summers.
523
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,700
You use to make swords
out of bulrushes.
524
00:31:33,740 --> 00:31:35,810
And you, dandelions
also golden hair.
525
00:31:35,890 --> 00:31:37,930
In those days
I could tell you everything.
526
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,860
And you did
everything I wished.
527
00:31:40,060 --> 00:31:44,830
Little Roxane, a sweet tyrone
with short skirts and long hair.
528
00:31:44,860 --> 00:31:45,780
Was I pretty?
529
00:31:49,830 --> 00:31:51,270
Not too plain.
530
00:31:52,150 --> 00:31:54,490
Sometimes when you had fallen
or hurt your hand,
531
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,670
you used to come running to me,
and I would be your mother and say,
532
00:31:57,710 --> 00:32:02,770
oh, with a very grownup voice,
'Now, what have you been doing to yourself?'
533
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,300
'Let me see.'
534
00:32:05,890 --> 00:32:07,060
- Oh!
- No one that.
535
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:08,230
Wait, let me see.
536
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,540
Still. At your age?
537
00:32:12,010 --> 00:32:13,810
Now, how did you do that?
538
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,910
Playing with the big boys
at the Place de Neanne.
539
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:18,410
Come here.
540
00:32:19,330 --> 00:32:21,020
Such a wise little mother.
541
00:32:21,030 --> 00:32:24,740
And tell me, while I wash this
blood away, how many you played with?
542
00:32:24,770 --> 00:32:26,840
- Oh, about a hundred.
- A hundred?
543
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,950
- More or less.
- It can't be.
544
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:31,080
No.
545
00:32:31,670 --> 00:32:33,720
Tell me what you were
going to tell me.....
546
00:32:34,130 --> 00:32:35,320
if you dared.
547
00:32:36,190 --> 00:32:38,060
I think I do dare, now.
548
00:32:38,860 --> 00:32:41,450
It seems so like
those happy days long ago.
549
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,780
Yes, I dare.
550
00:32:44,350 --> 00:32:47,190
Listen....I love someone.
551
00:32:47,850 --> 00:32:48,440
Yes?
552
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,150
Someone who does not know.
553
00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:51,340
Yes?
554
00:32:51,450 --> 00:32:54,970
Someone who loves me, too,
but is afraid of me and keeps away
555
00:32:55,010 --> 00:32:56,340
and never says one word.
556
00:32:57,570 --> 00:32:58,270
(softly)
Yes.
557
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,210
Give my that hand.
558
00:33:01,870 --> 00:33:03,080
Why, how hot it is.
559
00:33:04,390 --> 00:33:06,390
Yes, he loves me.
I am sure of it.
560
00:33:06,740 --> 00:33:07,530
(softly)
Yes.
561
00:33:08,110 --> 00:33:10,730
And he is a soldier, too,
in your own regiment,
562
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,710
your own company.
563
00:33:11,740 --> 00:33:12,750
(loud)
Yes.
564
00:33:13,340 --> 00:33:14,480
Such a man.
565
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,280
He is proud, noble, young, brave,
566
00:33:18,610 --> 00:33:19,700
beautiful!
567
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:22,550
(softly)
Beautiful.
568
00:33:25,180 --> 00:33:26,040
What's the matter?
569
00:33:26,460 --> 00:33:27,160
Oh, nothing.
570
00:33:28,110 --> 00:33:30,210
It's this, my hand.
571
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,280
I love him.
That is all.
572
00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:38,230
And I have never seen him
anywhere except in the theater.
573
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,710
You have never spoken?
574
00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:42,790
Only with our hearts.
575
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,080
Well, then, how do you know?
576
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:50,270
Well, people talk about people,
and I hear things, and...
577
00:33:51,370 --> 00:33:52,700
and I know.
578
00:33:53,890 --> 00:33:55,540
(firmly)
You say he is in the guards?
579
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,530
His name?
580
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,270
Baron Christian de Neuvillette.
581
00:34:02,790 --> 00:34:03,910
You know him?
582
00:34:04,290 --> 00:34:05,650
He is not in the guards.
583
00:34:05,690 --> 00:34:07,020
Yes, since last week.
584
00:34:07,770 --> 00:34:09,550
He is only lately
come to Paris...
585
00:34:09,730 --> 00:34:11,140
from Normandy.
586
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,070
So soon.
So soon we lose our hearts.
587
00:34:15,570 --> 00:34:16,160
What...
(door opens)
588
00:34:16,190 --> 00:34:17,220
(Duenna)
- Monsieur de Bergerac
589
00:34:17,250 --> 00:34:18,850
- I have eaten all the cakes.
590
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,280
Good.
Now, go out and enjoy nature.
591
00:34:23,020 --> 00:34:26,110
But my dear child, you love
only words, wit, poetry.
592
00:34:26,150 --> 00:34:29,950
Why, for all you know,
the man may be a savage or a fool.
593
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:34,290
Not with such eyes.
I read his soul in them.
594
00:34:35,270 --> 00:34:38,360
Yes, all our souls are
written in our eyes.
595
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,720
And you have brought
me here to tell me this?
596
00:34:42,980 --> 00:34:45,890
I do not yet quite understand,
madam, the reason for your confidence.
597
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:52,640
They say, that in your company,
it frightens me, you are all Gascon.
598
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,850
We pick a quarrel with any outsider
who intrudes himself.
599
00:34:54,890 --> 00:34:56,250
Is that what you have heard?
600
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,150
- I'm so afraid for him.
- Not without reason.
601
00:34:59,190 --> 00:35:03,730
And I thought you...
it's you whom they all respect and fear.
602
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,590
You want me to defend
your little Baron?
603
00:35:08,630 --> 00:35:09,740
Will you?
604
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:11,670
Just for me.
605
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,440
Because I have always
been your friend.
606
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,790
And this is what
you want of me?
607
00:35:16,820 --> 00:35:18,430
Will you be his friend?
608
00:35:20,450 --> 00:35:22,200
I will be his friend.
609
00:35:22,230 --> 00:35:23,040
And never let him
fight a duel.
610
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,060
No, never.
611
00:35:24,090 --> 00:35:24,750
Promise?
612
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:26,980
I promise.
613
00:35:27,420 --> 00:35:30,860
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
I knew I could rely on you.
614
00:35:33,930 --> 00:35:35,410
Well, now I must go.
615
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,480
Oh, you never told
me about last night.
616
00:35:43,970 --> 00:35:45,790
Why, you must
have been a hero.
617
00:35:45,820 --> 00:35:50,240
Have write and tell me all about it,
and...about himself.
618
00:35:51,420 --> 00:35:54,330
Oh, you are a darling.
We are great friends, are we not?
619
00:35:54,860 --> 00:35:56,330
He must write to me.
620
00:35:58,390 --> 00:36:01,490
A hundred men against one.
You shall tell me the whole story
621
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:02,980
someday when we have time.
622
00:36:06,570 --> 00:36:10,170
A hundred men.
What courage!
623
00:36:14,030 --> 00:36:16,810
I have done better.
624
00:36:21,820 --> 00:36:22,450
Well?
625
00:36:24,890 --> 00:36:26,050
Let us leave this place.
626
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,620
But the whole company
is on its way here.
627
00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:28,330
Oh, no.
628
00:36:28,370 --> 00:36:30,870
On my heels. Naturally I told
them all about last night.
629
00:36:30,900 --> 00:36:31,880
They're wild.
630
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:32,830
Here they are.
631
00:36:32,860 --> 00:36:35,420
- Yes, but, why did you?
- Perhaps I can stop them.
632
00:36:36,210 --> 00:36:36,870
Never mind.
633
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,220
Cyrano!
634
00:36:39,260 --> 00:36:46,070
(greetings and cheers to Cyrano)
635
00:36:49,130 --> 00:36:51,570
Eight dead men in the street.
Scandalous.
636
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,010
You know my edict
against dueling, nephew.
637
00:36:54,050 --> 00:36:55,580
I expect to have it enforced.
638
00:36:55,610 --> 00:36:58,940
Furthermore, I wish to know
who was responsible for last night's
639
00:36:58,970 --> 00:37:00,410
outrage at the Place de Neanne.
640
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:01,840
I understand, Your Eminence.
641
00:37:02,050 --> 00:37:04,180
Very well.
And now I have news
642
00:37:04,210 --> 00:37:06,310
that should be more
to you liking.
643
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:13,410
I fear, in confidence, our
uneasy armistice with Spain is doomed.
644
00:37:13,450 --> 00:37:14,410
My colonelcy?
645
00:37:14,450 --> 00:37:16,670
You commission has been prepared.
646
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:18,890
Oh, thank you, uncle, thank you.
647
00:37:19,230 --> 00:37:20,630
Oh, one thing more.
648
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,600
Last night at the theater,
the duel in rhyme,
649
00:37:24,790 --> 00:37:26,970
that guardsman with a nose.
650
00:37:27,010 --> 00:37:30,240
- Bergerac, that impossible Gascon.
- Yes, impossible.
651
00:37:30,260 --> 00:37:32,300
- His treatment of Montfleury.
- Abominable.
652
00:37:32,330 --> 00:37:35,230
- The arrogance with which he closed the play.
- Incredible.
653
00:37:35,260 --> 00:37:38,130
- It will be a miracle if the Vicomte survives.
- A sorrow.
654
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,720
What will you do
with him, Your Eminence?
655
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,100
I? Nothing.
656
00:37:41,140 --> 00:37:43,290
I thought I might
leave that to you.
657
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,500
To me?
658
00:37:44,530 --> 00:37:48,270
Yes. Place him somewhere
in your service,
659
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:49,890
with a comfortable allowance.
660
00:37:49,930 --> 00:37:51,390
He looked a little threadbare.
661
00:37:51,430 --> 00:37:55,020
I...You...But, Your Eminence.
You detest dueling.
662
00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:55,960
Of course I do.
663
00:37:56,350 --> 00:37:58,070
Why didn't you prevent it?
664
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,350
I should much prefer
that monsieur de Beregrac
665
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,300
live by the pen,
rather than die by the sword.
666
00:38:06,590 --> 00:38:08,470
Do you not agree, Antoine?
667
00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:12,560
By all means, Your Eminence.
By all means.
668
00:38:14,830 --> 00:38:21,650
'And then, as I end the refrain...
thrust home.'
669
00:38:24,790 --> 00:38:28,740
(Carousing at Ragueneau's)
670
00:38:33,220 --> 00:38:39,860
(noisy celebration of Cyrano's
defeat of 'a hundred' ruffians)
671
00:38:44,210 --> 00:38:46,580
(Antoine Comte de Guiche enters)
672
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:48,620
Monsieur de Bergerac.
673
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,390
Your Excellency.
674
00:38:51,970 --> 00:38:54,750
I have come to express my....
675
00:38:54,790 --> 00:38:58,550
admiration for both
your exploits last night.
676
00:38:58,590 --> 00:39:01,290
Indeed. Thank you.
677
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,900
My dear fellow,
we may have had our differences,
678
00:39:04,930 --> 00:39:07,550
but I am disposed
to forget them.
679
00:39:07,570 --> 00:39:09,710
That is very generous
of you, sir.
680
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:10,560
No, truly.
681
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,970
You are, it seems, a man
of many skills.
682
00:39:14,010 --> 00:39:17,350
A rare combination
soldier and poet.
683
00:39:18,060 --> 00:39:21,750
- Would you care to join my following?
- No, sir.
684
00:39:21,790 --> 00:39:23,260
I do not follow.
685
00:39:23,770 --> 00:39:25,980
I am told you have
written a play.
686
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,510
As you know, my uncle,
the Cardinal, is also a dramatist.
687
00:39:29,540 --> 00:39:30,990
I might help you there.
688
00:39:31,150 --> 00:39:34,050
Cyrano, now at last
you can have it performed.
689
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,200
Why not?
690
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:36,620
I could take it to him.
691
00:39:37,860 --> 00:39:39,330
Really?
692
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,460
Of course.
Let him rewrite a few lines
693
00:39:41,490 --> 00:39:43,770
here and there, and
he'll find a theater for you.
694
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,230
Rewrite...my lines?
695
00:39:47,670 --> 00:39:49,150
Impossible.
696
00:39:49,190 --> 00:39:52,040
Uh, when he likes a thing,
he pays well.
697
00:39:52,070 --> 00:39:53,240
Yes, but not so well as I.
698
00:39:53,270 --> 00:39:55,460
When I have made a line
that sings itself
699
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:57,220
I pay myself a hundred times.
700
00:39:57,250 --> 00:39:58,940
You are proud, my friend.
701
00:39:58,970 --> 00:40:00,020
You have observed that?
702
00:40:00,060 --> 00:40:02,460
- Cyrano.
See what we found in the street.
703
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:05,140
Plumes dropped in their flight
by those fine birds
704
00:40:05,170 --> 00:40:06,860
who showed their
tail feathers!
705
00:40:06,890 --> 00:40:08,590
(laughter)
706
00:40:08,620 --> 00:40:10,180
The man who hired
those scoundrels,
707
00:40:10,210 --> 00:40:12,010
he must be an
angry man today.
708
00:40:12,050 --> 00:40:13,430
Who was it?
Do you know?
709
00:40:13,850 --> 00:40:14,790
It was I.
710
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,870
I hired them to do the sort
of work we do not soil our hands with.
711
00:40:20,660 --> 00:40:22,940
Punishing an insolent poet.
712
00:40:22,970 --> 00:40:25,610
They ought to be mounted
before they spoil.
713
00:40:25,650 --> 00:40:27,850
(laughter)
What shall we do with them?
714
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:36,460
Sir, will you not return these
to your friends?
715
00:40:40,310 --> 00:40:42,190
Have you read Don Quixote?
716
00:40:42,230 --> 00:40:44,650
I have and found
myself the hero.
717
00:40:44,690 --> 00:40:47,770
Be so good as to read once more
the capture of the windmills.
718
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,010
Chapter 13.
719
00:40:50,150 --> 00:40:52,200
Windmills, remember,
if you fight with them...
720
00:40:52,230 --> 00:40:56,590
may swing round their huge arms
and cast you down into the mire.
721
00:40:56,630 --> 00:40:59,010
Or up among the stars.
722
00:41:01,250 --> 00:41:01,970
Gentlemen.
723
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:03,320
Gentlemen.
724
00:41:03,570 --> 00:41:04,550
Gentlemen.
725
00:41:05,220 --> 00:41:06,610
You've done it, now.
726
00:41:06,650 --> 00:41:07,860
You've made your fortune.
727
00:41:07,890 --> 00:41:09,070
He was willing to forget.
728
00:41:09,490 --> 00:41:11,180
There you go again, growling.
729
00:41:11,210 --> 00:41:13,460
Yesss,
this latest pose of yours,
730
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:16,070
ruining every opportunity
that comes you way,
731
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:17,100
becomes exaggerated.
732
00:41:17,140 --> 00:41:18,250
Very well, then, I exaggerate.
733
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:19,710
There are certain things
in this world
734
00:41:19,740 --> 00:41:21,100
a man does well
to carry to extremes.
735
00:41:21,140 --> 00:41:23,710
Your precious independence.
Your white plume.
736
00:41:23,740 --> 00:41:25,410
How do you expect
to succeed in life?
737
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,400
What would you have me do?
738
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,590
Seek for the patronage
of some great man
739
00:41:28,630 --> 00:41:31,880
and like a creeping vine
on a tall tree crawl upward
740
00:41:31,910 --> 00:41:33,520
where I cannot stand alone?
741
00:41:33,940 --> 00:41:34,850
No, thank you.
742
00:41:35,210 --> 00:41:39,880
Be a buffoon in the vile hope
of teasing out a smile on some cold face.
743
00:41:40,340 --> 00:41:41,710
No, thank you.
744
00:41:42,050 --> 00:41:44,260
Eat a toad for breakfast
every morning.
745
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:47,530
Make my knees calloused.
Cultivate a supple spine.
746
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,320
Wear out my belly
groveling in the dust.
747
00:41:49,590 --> 00:41:50,400
No, thank you.
748
00:41:50,860 --> 00:41:54,880
With my left hand scratch the back
of any swine that roots up gold for me
749
00:41:54,910 --> 00:41:58,910
while my right, too proud to know
his partner's business, takes in the fee.
750
00:41:58,940 --> 00:41:59,920
No, thank you.
751
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,810
Shall I use the fire God gave me
to burn incense all day long?
752
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,020
No, thank you.
753
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,410
Struggle to insinuate my name
into the columns of the Gazette?
754
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:13,250
Calculate, scheme, be afraid?
Love more to make a visit than a poem?
755
00:42:13,290 --> 00:42:15,990
Seek introductions, favors,
influences?
756
00:42:16,020 --> 00:42:17,050
No, thank you.
757
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,270
No, I thank you, and
again I thank you.
758
00:42:23,930 --> 00:42:30,320
But, to sing, to laugh, to dream,
to walk in my own way,
759
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,510
free with and eye
to see things as they are.
760
00:42:33,380 --> 00:42:35,240
A voice that means manhood.
761
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,640
To cut my have
the right shoes.
762
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:46,150
And a word, a yes, a no,
to fight, or write,
763
00:42:46,830 --> 00:42:48,440
but never to make
a line I have not heard
764
00:42:48,470 --> 00:42:49,780
in my own heart.
765
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,380
To travel any
road under the sun,
766
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,780
under the stars,
767
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,520
nor care if fame or fortune
lie beyond the bourne.
768
00:43:00,370 --> 00:43:02,250
Yet, with all modesty to say,
769
00:43:03,250 --> 00:43:05,830
my soul be satisfied
with flowers,
770
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:08,000
with weeds,
771
00:43:09,210 --> 00:43:10,840
with thorns, even,
772
00:43:11,910 --> 00:43:14,940
but gather them in the one garden
you may call your own.
773
00:43:16,230 --> 00:43:18,450
In a word, I'm too proud
to be a parasite.
774
00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:21,470
And if mine intellect the germ
that grows towering to heaven
775
00:43:21,500 --> 00:43:22,770
like the mountain pine
776
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,570
I stand not high, it may be,
777
00:43:27,260 --> 00:43:28,460
but alone.
778
00:43:28,500 --> 00:43:31,170
Alone, yes, but why
go about making enemies?
779
00:43:32,100 --> 00:43:35,850
Watching other people
making friends...everywhere,
780
00:43:35,890 --> 00:43:37,980
as a dog makes friends.
781
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,550
I mark the manner of
these canine courtesies,
782
00:43:41,580 --> 00:43:46,770
and think, here comes,
thank heaven, another enemy.
783
00:43:46,810 --> 00:43:52,760
Yes, tell this to all the world,
and then to me say very softly
784
00:43:52,790 --> 00:43:55,540
that she loves you not.
785
00:43:58,830 --> 00:44:00,940
Let me be alone
for a moment.
786
00:44:03,990 --> 00:44:05,050
Cyrano, wait.
787
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,760
Give us your story
of the fight.
788
00:44:07,530 --> 00:44:08,400
Presently.
789
00:44:08,430 --> 00:44:10,010
No, the story, now!
790
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,970
Oh, let him alone.
There's time enough.
791
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,360
I want it now!
792
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,090
As an example for that young
tadpole sneaking out the doorway.
793
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,040
You, there.
794
00:44:25,310 --> 00:44:26,820
Are you addressing me?
795
00:44:28,190 --> 00:44:32,770
Yes, you flat-footed
Norman farmer.
796
00:44:36,190 --> 00:44:37,470
You wish something of me?
797
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:39,950
Listen, Monsieur de...de...de
whatever your name is.
798
00:44:39,980 --> 00:44:40,920
de Neuvillette!
799
00:44:41,090 --> 00:44:43,230
Baron Christan de Neuvillette.
800
00:44:43,270 --> 00:44:45,370
Very well, de Neuvillette.
801
00:44:45,670 --> 00:44:48,080
As you are a newcomer here,
you should know there is a
802
00:44:48,110 --> 00:44:52,300
certain subject or object, if you prefer,
that is never mentioned among us.
803
00:44:52,340 --> 00:44:53,340
And that is....?
804
00:44:53,370 --> 00:44:54,500
Look at me!
805
00:44:54,540 --> 00:44:55,980
(touching his nose)
806
00:44:56,020 --> 00:44:57,360
You understand?
807
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:58,670
You mean....?
808
00:44:58,700 --> 00:45:01,090
Thus we never speak that word.
809
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,390
To even breathe it is
to have to do with him.
810
00:45:04,420 --> 00:45:08,760
He has exterminated several
whose mere tone of voice suggested...
811
00:45:08,790 --> 00:45:12,920
Would you die before your time?
Just mention anything convex.
812
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,530
Or cartilaginous.
813
00:45:14,570 --> 00:45:18,540
One word. One syllable.
One gesture. Nay, one sneeze.
814
00:45:18,570 --> 00:45:21,330
And your handkerchief
becomes your winding sheet.
815
00:45:24,110 --> 00:45:24,920
Captain.
816
00:45:25,430 --> 00:45:26,290
Sir?
817
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:30,090
What is the proper thing to do
when Gascons grow too boastful?
818
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,820
Prove to them that one may
be a Norman and still have courage.
819
00:45:33,850 --> 00:45:35,100
I thank you.
820
00:45:41,330 --> 00:45:43,360
Come on, Cyrano, your story.
821
00:45:44,420 --> 00:45:47,330
(shouts of encouragement)
822
00:45:47,740 --> 00:45:49,540
Now, let me see.
Where shall we begin?
823
00:45:50,450 --> 00:45:52,510
I followed with our host
to meet those scoundrels
824
00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:53,640
not knowing where
they might attack.
825
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,340
No lamps in those narrow
back streets.
826
00:45:57,500 --> 00:45:58,600
No moon in the sky.
827
00:45:59,340 --> 00:46:01,220
Dark. Everything dark.
828
00:46:01,430 --> 00:46:04,040
It was so dark, Mon Dieux,
you could not see beyond...
829
00:46:04,070 --> 00:46:05,470
Your nose!
830
00:46:05,850 --> 00:46:08,480
(Christian shows his courage.)
831
00:46:25,250 --> 00:46:33,250
Who...is that...man...there?
832
00:46:34,260 --> 00:46:35,380
- A new recruit.
833
00:46:36,070 --> 00:46:37,550
- Arrived last week.
834
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,080
A recruit, eh?
835
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:41,940
Ha, ha---.
836
00:46:41,970 --> 00:46:45,320
His name is Christian de Neuvillette.
837
00:46:45,350 --> 00:46:48,660
(Cyrano remembers his
promise to Roxane.)
838
00:46:58,510 --> 00:46:59,570
I see.
839
00:47:02,670 --> 00:47:03,510
Very well.
840
00:47:04,850 --> 00:47:06,470
As I was saying.
841
00:47:10,830 --> 00:47:11,930
It grew dark.
842
00:47:12,460 --> 00:47:15,180
You could not see
your hand before your eyes.
843
00:47:16,310 --> 00:47:19,470
I marched on thinking our all for
the sake of one amateur poet
844
00:47:19,510 --> 00:47:22,660
- who wrote a verse whenever he took a..
- A nose full.
845
00:47:24,370 --> 00:47:25,770
...whenever he took a notion.,
846
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,600
and might antagonize
some dangerous man.
847
00:47:28,630 --> 00:47:30,830
One powerful enough
to make me pay...
848
00:47:30,860 --> 00:47:31,980
Through the nose!
849
00:47:32,010 --> 00:47:33,090
...pay the piper!
850
00:47:33,410 --> 00:47:35,430
After all, I thought,
why am I putting in my..
851
00:47:35,470 --> 00:47:36,310
- Nose!
852
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:39,170
...putting in my oar in a quarrel
that was none of mine,
853
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,240
however now that I am here,
I may as well go through with it.
854
00:47:41,270 --> 00:47:42,840
Come Gascon, do your duty.
855
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,850
Suddenly a sword
flashed in the dark!
856
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:45,810
I caught it fair...
857
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:46,810
On the nose!
858
00:47:47,940 --> 00:47:49,130
...on my blade!
859
00:47:49,170 --> 00:47:50,530
Before I knew it,
there I was...
860
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:51,690
Rubbing noses!
861
00:47:51,730 --> 00:47:53,840
...crossing swords with
harvard's joy once.
862
00:47:53,870 --> 00:47:54,940
I had the bottom then...
863
00:47:54,980 --> 00:47:55,900
A nosegay!
864
00:47:55,940 --> 00:47:57,160
...a monstrous crab tree.
865
00:47:57,610 --> 00:48:00,170
(breathing heavily)
He went down for as a wave.
866
00:48:00,380 --> 00:48:00,990
I charged...
867
00:48:01,030 --> 00:48:02,590
Who was in the air hard.
868
00:48:02,620 --> 00:48:03,450
...at the two of them.
869
00:48:04,750 --> 00:48:05,900
Another lunged,
and I parried...
870
00:48:05,940 --> 00:48:07,220
Through your nose!
871
00:48:07,250 --> 00:48:09,310
Right out of here!
All of you go!
872
00:48:09,340 --> 00:48:10,120
Leave me with him.
873
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,660
To my arms, sir.
You have courage.
874
00:48:28,690 --> 00:48:29,880
- That pleases me.
- Why?
875
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,820
Come, do you not know
I am her brother?
876
00:48:31,850 --> 00:48:32,460
Whose?
877
00:48:32,500 --> 00:48:34,250
Hers. Roxane.
878
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:38,390
Brother?
879
00:48:39,260 --> 00:48:40,170
You?
880
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,150
Well, a distant cousin.
Much the same.
881
00:48:42,510 --> 00:48:44,450
- Then she has told you?
- Everything.
882
00:48:44,580 --> 00:48:46,680
- She loves me?
- Perhaps.
883
00:48:47,610 --> 00:48:49,950
My dear sir, more than I can say.
I am honored.
884
00:48:49,990 --> 00:48:52,040
- Rather sudden.
- Oh, please, forgive me.
885
00:48:52,260 --> 00:48:54,270
If you knew how
much I have admired you.
886
00:48:54,310 --> 00:48:57,620
- Yes, yes, and all those noses.
- Please. I apologize.
887
00:48:59,060 --> 00:49:00,680
Roxane expects a letter.
888
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:02,300
- From me?
- Yes, why not?
889
00:49:02,340 --> 00:49:03,180
Oh,, No.
890
00:49:03,530 --> 00:49:05,880
- Once I write, that ruins everything.
- Why?
891
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,020
Because, any schoolboy can write
to her more gracefully than I.
892
00:49:09,590 --> 00:49:10,730
A fool!
893
00:49:10,900 --> 00:49:14,560
- You did not attack me like a fool.
- Anyone can pick a quarrel.
894
00:49:14,740 --> 00:49:16,580
No, I'm never at loss
for words among men,
895
00:49:16,610 --> 00:49:21,260
but with any women...
paralyzed...speechless, dumb.
896
00:49:21,460 --> 00:49:23,600
I'm one of those
stammering idiots
897
00:49:23,630 --> 00:49:25,270
who can not court a woman.
898
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:26,170
Really?
899
00:49:26,810 --> 00:49:28,700
As for myself,
it seems to me that
900
00:49:28,730 --> 00:49:32,300
given the opportunity,
and if I put my mind to it,
901
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,390
I could do that..
rather well.
902
00:49:35,420 --> 00:49:37,870
Oh, is I had words to say
what I have here!
903
00:49:37,900 --> 00:49:39,450
If I were handsome
like you.
904
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,780
Together, we could make
one mighty hero of romance.
905
00:49:43,820 --> 00:49:45,330
If only I had your wit.
906
00:49:50,570 --> 00:49:51,710
Borrow it, then.
907
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:53,150
What?
908
00:49:54,670 --> 00:49:55,490
Tell me,
909
00:49:56,910 --> 00:49:59,770
would you dare repeat to her
the words I gave you day by day?
910
00:50:00,330 --> 00:50:02,420
Send to her
the letters that I write?
911
00:50:02,460 --> 00:50:04,800
I mean, that Roxane
should have no disillusionment.
912
00:50:05,180 --> 00:50:06,820
Come, shall we win her
both together?
913
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:07,800
For you?
914
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,970
- Why, Cyrano...
- Christian, why not?
915
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,850
I...I'm afraid.
916
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,030
Afraid that when you
have her all alone, you will lose her.
917
00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:16,420
Have not fear,
it is your self she loves.
918
00:50:16,450 --> 00:50:17,920
Give her yourself.
919
00:50:17,950 --> 00:50:23,670
Put into words,
my words...upon your lips.
920
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:25,180
Will you?
921
00:50:26,780 --> 00:50:28,030
Will you?
922
00:50:28,910 --> 00:50:30,740
Does it mean
so much to you?
923
00:50:30,770 --> 00:50:32,360
It means....
924
00:50:34,110 --> 00:50:37,060
It means a comedy,
a situation for a poet.
925
00:50:37,190 --> 00:50:38,350
Come, shall we collaborate?
926
00:50:38,390 --> 00:50:42,420
I'll be your cloak of darkness,
your enchanted sword,
927
00:50:42,460 --> 00:50:45,330
your ring to charm
the fairy princess.
928
00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:49,180
Think!
Is the prize not worth the danger?
929
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:52,980
My friend!
930
00:50:54,620 --> 00:50:55,740
My friend.
931
00:50:56,890 --> 00:51:00,100
Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
932
00:51:00,350 --> 00:51:03,650
Plucking the flowers,
we will keep the plant in bloom.
933
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,010
Thus do I love thee,
my darling.
934
00:51:08,890 --> 00:51:09,670
Idiot.
935
00:51:09,910 --> 00:51:12,200
There are a dozen
ways to read that line.
936
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:14,500
Can't you give it some meaning?
Any meaning!
937
00:51:14,530 --> 00:51:15,950
THUS do I love thee!
938
00:51:15,980 --> 00:51:17,280
Thus do "I" love thee.
939
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:18,550
Thus do I LOVE thee.
940
00:51:18,580 --> 00:51:20,930
Thus do I love THEE,
THEE, THEE.
941
00:51:22,580 --> 00:51:25,680
Who knows your smile
has known a perfect thing.
942
00:51:25,710 --> 00:51:28,400
You are a white rose,
wherein love lies in ambush
943
00:51:28,430 --> 00:51:30,180
for its natural prey.
944
00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:33,760
In the garden of my heart,
you are the most...
945
00:51:33,930 --> 00:51:35,680
eh, the most....
946
00:51:37,450 --> 00:51:39,750
fragrant blossom.
947
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,780
As the tender sapling
thirsts for rain,
948
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,900
as the eagle seeks the sky,
949
00:51:48,030 --> 00:51:51,050
as the wave
hurtles toward the shore,
950
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,990
my heart yearns for you.
951
00:51:54,460 --> 00:51:55,820
Good, good.
952
00:51:55,970 --> 00:51:58,740
You know, you're beginning
to have a feel for words.
953
00:51:58,770 --> 00:52:02,010
- Words. I'm sick of words.
- Those are your weapons.
954
00:52:02,050 --> 00:52:03,190
How else do you conquer?
955
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,130
Yes, but when, when?
956
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,190
They're fighting in the north, now.
You know that.
957
00:52:06,230 --> 00:52:07,690
The Regiment will be
called up any day,
958
00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:08,840
and I've never
even kissed her.
959
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,940
Patience, my boy, patience.
960
00:52:11,980 --> 00:52:13,110
I've been patient.
961
00:52:13,140 --> 00:52:16,280
Why, she sees the Compte de Guiche
as often as she does me.
962
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,120
Do you suppose
she's playing with me?
963
00:52:21,260 --> 00:52:22,500
Making a fool of me?
964
00:52:23,850 --> 00:52:24,880
Impossible.
965
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,210
How can you say?
How do you know?
966
00:52:27,210 --> 00:52:31,390
Cyrano, you have her confidence.
You could find out.
967
00:52:39,300 --> 00:52:40,690
Nonsense, I say.
968
00:52:42,260 --> 00:52:43,440
Oh, very well.
969
00:52:43,870 --> 00:52:45,190
I'll scout the terrain.
970
00:52:45,230 --> 00:52:47,200
Listen, Cyrano,
intelligently, discreetly.
971
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:48,160
Yes.
972
00:52:48,190 --> 00:52:49,340
With finesse.
973
00:52:52,010 --> 00:52:55,510
And, uh, what do you think
of Christian after all these weeks?
974
00:52:55,620 --> 00:52:58,030
He is beautiful,
but he's brilliant.
975
00:52:58,070 --> 00:52:59,760
- And I love him.
- Good!
976
00:52:59,870 --> 00:53:01,750
Uh, do you find him intellectual?
977
00:53:01,790 --> 00:53:03,600
- More so than you, even.
- Huh?
978
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,470
- Oh, I didn't mean.
- No, no, no, I am glad.
979
00:53:06,500 --> 00:53:09,290
No man ever so beautifully
said those things.
980
00:53:09,330 --> 00:53:11,900
Those pretty nothings
to everything.
981
00:53:12,310 --> 00:53:15,780
Sometimes, he,. he, he falls
into a reverie.
982
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,110
His inspiration..fails.
983
00:53:20,050 --> 00:53:23,940
But, then all at once,
he will say something absolutely...
984
00:53:23,980 --> 00:53:25,370
Ah!
985
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:26,760
Really?
986
00:53:27,470 --> 00:53:28,910
How like a man!
987
00:53:28,940 --> 00:53:32,220
You think because a man
has a handsome face he must be a fool.
988
00:53:33,330 --> 00:53:34,790
Not necessarily.
989
00:53:34,830 --> 00:53:38,410
Uh, he talks well about, uh,
matters of the heart?
990
00:53:38,450 --> 00:53:42,420
He does not talk.
He rhapsodizes. He dreams.
991
00:53:42,460 --> 00:53:46,360
Only the other night he said to me,
extemporaneously, mind you.
992
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:47,220
Oh, of course.
993
00:53:47,980 --> 00:53:50,660
'Take my heart.
I shall have it all the more.
994
00:53:50,700 --> 00:53:54,760
'Plucking the flowers
we will keep the plants in bloom.'
995
00:53:55,720 --> 00:53:56,730
Well?
996
00:53:56,770 --> 00:53:58,530
Umm, passable.
997
00:53:58,950 --> 00:54:00,010
He writes well?
998
00:54:00,050 --> 00:54:02,080
Wonderfully, listen:
999
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,510
'Knowing you have in store
more heart to give
1000
00:54:05,550 --> 00:54:08,160
- 'than I to find heart room...'
- The first he has too much heart,
1001
00:54:08,190 --> 00:54:10,400
then too little. Just how much heart
does he need?
1002
00:54:10,470 --> 00:54:11,740
You are teasing.
1003
00:54:11,870 --> 00:54:12,870
You are jealous!
1004
00:54:12,910 --> 00:54:13,690
Jealous?
1005
00:54:13,730 --> 00:54:14,440
Yes.
1006
00:54:14,470 --> 00:54:15,840
Poets are all alike.
1007
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:19,660
Would you dare
criticize these lines?
1008
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:25,100
'Only believe that unto you
my whole heart gives one cry.
1009
00:54:25,540 --> 00:54:29,470
'And writing, writes down
more than you receive.
1010
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,010
'Sending you kisses
through my fingertips.
1011
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,020
'Lady, oh, read my letter
with your lips.'
1012
00:54:39,340 --> 00:54:43,820
Yes, those last lines,
but he overwrites.
1013
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:44,970
Listen to this.
1014
00:54:45,010 --> 00:54:46,000
Do you know
them all by heart?
1015
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,070
Every one.
1016
00:54:47,110 --> 00:54:48,500
Well, I may call
that flattering.
1017
00:54:48,530 --> 00:54:49,310
He is a master.
1018
00:54:49,350 --> 00:54:51,850
- Oh, come..
- Yes, a master.
1019
00:54:51,860 --> 00:54:55,270
Huh, a master,...
if you will.
1020
00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:00,520
And, uh, when do you
bestow the laurel wreath?
1021
00:55:00,540 --> 00:55:05,290
How many prodigies of poetry
must this new Hercules perform?
1022
00:55:05,390 --> 00:55:06,490
I do not know.
1023
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:11,580
My friend, you men own the world
and all that's in it.
1024
00:55:12,020 --> 00:55:17,990
Woman is at best a prize, a property
valued much the same as a horse or a dog,
1025
00:55:18,150 --> 00:55:22,010
unlike the pear and sheen of skin
and soundness of teeth and limb.
1026
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:27,870
Well, if I must be chattel,
then the terms shall be mine,
1027
00:55:27,910 --> 00:55:31,480
and the price according
to my own values.
1028
00:55:31,510 --> 00:55:32,670
There.
1029
00:55:34,070 --> 00:55:35,460
I see.
1030
00:55:37,060 --> 00:55:39,880
Christian tells me
that you meet tonight.
1031
00:55:42,510 --> 00:55:45,210
What would you have him
speak about?
1032
00:55:46,230 --> 00:55:47,910
Oh, nothing,
1033
00:55:48,260 --> 00:55:49,530
and everything.
1034
00:55:49,980 --> 00:55:54,140
I shall say, speak to me
of love in your own words.
1035
00:55:54,550 --> 00:55:56,810
Improvise, rhapsodize.
1036
00:55:57,540 --> 00:55:58,790
Be eloquent.
1037
00:55:59,910 --> 00:56:01,540
But you will not tell him,
will you?
1038
00:56:01,570 --> 00:56:03,270
Ah, perish the thought.
1039
00:56:03,590 --> 00:56:06,370
Madame, Compte de Guiche.
1040
00:56:10,720 --> 00:56:12,820
(Sigh)
Madame.
1041
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:16,880
Monsieur.
1042
00:56:17,770 --> 00:56:18,770
Madame.
1043
00:56:21,570 --> 00:56:24,270
Monsieur.
(Crunch)
1044
00:56:33,430 --> 00:56:35,090
- Christian, quick.
- No.
1045
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,030
There's still time to learn your lines.
No.
1046
00:56:37,070 --> 00:56:39,760
I have some brilliant phrases for you,
brilliant, sensitive...
1047
00:56:39,790 --> 00:56:40,500
No.
1048
00:56:41,150 --> 00:56:42,160
I'll have not more of it.
1049
00:56:42,190 --> 00:56:44,250
Taking all my words, my sentences
all from you,
1050
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,490
- making our love a little comedy.
- Don't you real...
1051
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,480
It was a game at first,
but now she cares.
1052
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:49,390
Huh?
1053
00:56:49,430 --> 00:56:50,750
Thanks to you.
Uh.
1054
00:56:50,790 --> 00:56:53,060
I'm not afraid any longer.
I'll speak for myself, now.
1055
00:56:53,090 --> 00:56:53,720
Oh, undoubtedly.
1056
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,990
I will. You shall see!
1057
00:56:56,500 --> 00:56:59,110
Besides, I know enough
to take a woman in my arms,
1058
00:56:59,150 --> 00:57:00,870
and tonight, I will.
1059
00:57:04,070 --> 00:57:05,420
(knocking on door)
- Christian!
1060
00:57:05,450 --> 00:57:07,210
Thank you, my friend,
and goodbye.
1061
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:09,040
- Christian, I beg of you.
- Leave me!
1062
00:57:09,070 --> 00:57:10,830
- You're making a grave error.
- Go away!
1063
00:57:13,540 --> 00:57:14,540
So be it.
1064
00:57:16,950 --> 00:57:18,600
(door opens)
1065
00:57:20,300 --> 00:57:21,440
Christian.
1066
00:57:21,470 --> 00:57:22,580
Roxane.
1067
00:57:23,190 --> 00:57:25,330
I'm so glad you are early.
1068
00:57:26,430 --> 00:57:28,400
Let us stay out here
in the moonlight.
1069
00:57:29,150 --> 00:57:30,490
It's so pleasant.
1070
00:57:32,780 --> 00:57:33,630
Sit down.
1071
00:57:36,450 --> 00:57:37,720
There, so.
1072
00:57:40,770 --> 00:57:43,780
Now, speak to me.
1073
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:45,470
I love you.
1074
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,330
Yes, speak to me of love.
1075
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,390
I...love you.
1076
00:57:53,430 --> 00:57:55,640
Now, be eloquent.
Be brilliant for me.
1077
00:57:56,300 --> 00:57:57,940
Tonight of all nights.
1078
00:57:58,250 --> 00:58:01,560
I love you....so.
1079
00:58:03,610 --> 00:58:07,630
You have your scene.
Now, improvise, rhapsodize.
1080
00:58:07,660 --> 00:58:11,570
I love you...
very much!
1081
00:58:14,500 --> 00:58:17,600
I ask for cream,
and you give me milk and water.
1082
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:22,490
Tell me firstly,
how you love me.
1083
00:58:22,530 --> 00:58:23,780
Very much!
1084
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:26,440
Is that all you feel?
1085
00:58:26,470 --> 00:58:29,360
Your throat, if only
I might kiss it.
1086
00:58:29,390 --> 00:58:30,170
Christian!
1087
00:58:30,210 --> 00:58:31,520
But, Roxane, I love you.
1088
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:32,860
Again.
1089
00:58:32,890 --> 00:58:34,450
No, not again.
I do not love you.
1090
00:58:37,490 --> 00:58:38,540
That is better.
1091
00:58:39,380 --> 00:58:42,870
I...I adore you!
1092
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:43,870
Oh!
1093
00:58:44,570 --> 00:58:46,070
I know I grow absurd.
1094
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:48,870
And that distresses me as much
as if you had grown ugly!
1095
00:58:51,020 --> 00:58:54,910
Please. Gather your dreams
together into words.
1096
00:58:54,950 --> 00:58:57,830
I...um, I...
1097
00:58:57,870 --> 00:59:00,280
I know. You love me!
Good night!
1098
00:59:00,310 --> 00:59:01,440
Oh, but wait, please!
1099
00:59:01,470 --> 00:59:02,530
I was going to say...
1100
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:04,510
That you adore me.
Yes, I know that, too.
1101
00:59:04,540 --> 00:59:06,720
-No, go away.
- I....
1102
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,290
(door slams shut)
1103
00:59:25,170 --> 00:59:28,330
(Cyrano claps his hands)
1104
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:29,870
A great success.
1105
00:59:30,940 --> 00:59:31,720
Help me.
1106
00:59:31,750 --> 00:59:33,620
Not I.
Speak for yourself, my friend.
1107
00:59:33,660 --> 00:59:35,220
Why I...I can't.
1108
00:59:35,250 --> 00:59:38,040
Well, at least you know enough
to take a woman in your arms.
1109
00:59:38,070 --> 00:59:39,680
Oh, Cyrano, please!
1110
00:59:39,790 --> 00:59:41,610
What, and make your love
a little comedy.
1111
00:59:41,650 --> 00:59:44,060
Cyrano, I cannot live
unless I win her back, now.
1112
00:59:44,100 --> 00:59:44,610
This moment!
1113
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,890
This moment. How the devil
am I to teach you now, this mo...
1114
00:59:47,980 --> 00:59:48,940
(Christian)
Her window.
1115
00:59:49,510 --> 00:59:51,690
- Help me, Cyrano, help me.
- Shhhh.
1116
00:59:53,290 --> 00:59:54,800
(Cyrano)
It does seem fairly dark.
1117
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:55,780
(Christian)
Well? Well?
1118
00:59:57,490 --> 00:59:59,190
(Cyrano)
It is more than
you deserve.
1119
01:00:00,550 --> 01:00:02,010
(Cyrano)
I must try out what
can be done.
1120
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:03,040
(Cyrano)
Stand over there.
1121
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,500
(Cyrano)
Idiot, here, before the balcony.
I'll whisper you what to say.
1122
01:00:09,540 --> 01:00:11,380
- She'll hear..
- Shhhh. Call her.
1123
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:13,690
(Christian)
Roxane.
1124
01:00:14,950 --> 01:00:17,330
(Christian louder)
Roxane.
1125
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,220
(balcony window opens)
1126
01:00:21,690 --> 01:00:22,760
Who's calling?
1127
01:00:23,430 --> 01:00:24,240
Christian.
1128
01:00:24,570 --> 01:00:25,670
You again.
1129
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:27,420
I...had to tell you.
1130
01:00:27,710 --> 01:00:29,340
No. Go away.
You tell me nothing.
1131
01:00:29,370 --> 01:00:30,390
Please.
1132
01:00:30,430 --> 01:00:32,240
You do not
love me anymore.
1133
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:34,810
(Christian copies Cyrano)
No, not anymore.
1134
01:00:35,530 --> 01:00:37,340
I love you evermore,
1135
01:00:38,150 --> 01:00:40,050
and evermore and more.
1136
01:00:41,190 --> 01:00:42,640
Oh, a little better.
1137
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,160
Love grows and struggles
like an angry child.
1138
01:00:48,710 --> 01:00:50,620
Breaking my heart.
1139
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,070
His cradle...
1140
01:00:53,110 --> 01:00:54,630
Better still.
1141
01:00:55,230 --> 01:00:57,390
But such a babe is dangerous.
1142
01:00:57,910 --> 01:01:00,140
Why not have
smothered it newborn?
1143
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:03,290
And so I do.
1144
01:01:03,650 --> 01:01:05,290
And yet he lives.
1145
01:01:06,340 --> 01:01:08,910
I found as you sha...
you shall find
1146
01:01:10,250 --> 01:01:14,400
this newborn babe...
and infant Hercules!
1147
01:01:14,900 --> 01:01:15,430
Good.
1148
01:01:15,460 --> 01:01:16,820
Strong enough at birth
1149
01:01:17,740 --> 01:01:19,600
to strangle
those two serpents
1150
01:01:20,010 --> 01:01:20,550
doubt and
1151
01:01:20,590 --> 01:01:21,090
<i>What?</i>
1152
01:01:21,250 --> 01:01:22,600
pride!
1153
01:01:23,410 --> 01:01:24,440
Why, very good.
1154
01:01:25,330 --> 01:01:27,880
Only, tell me why
you speak so haltingly.
1155
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,580
Has your imagination
gone....lame?
1156
01:01:33,260 --> 01:01:35,130
(Cyrano)
This grows too difficult.
1157
01:01:35,530 --> 01:01:38,320
Your words tonight
hesitate, why?
1158
01:01:38,630 --> 01:01:42,970
Through the warm summer gloom,
they grope in darkness
1159
01:01:43,170 --> 01:01:44,690
toward the light of you.
1160
01:01:46,010 --> 01:01:47,860
My words are
heavy with honey,
1161
01:01:47,900 --> 01:01:49,360
like returning bees.
1162
01:01:50,190 --> 01:01:52,310
Yet they must fly so high.
1163
01:01:52,530 --> 01:01:54,140
Come nearer then.
Stand you on the bench.
1164
01:01:54,170 --> 01:01:55,000
No.
1165
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:56,190
Then I'll come down.
1166
01:01:56,230 --> 01:01:57,110
NO!
1167
01:01:57,570 --> 01:01:59,380
And why so great a no?
1168
01:02:00,490 --> 01:02:02,920
Let me enjoy the one
moment I ever...
1169
01:02:03,710 --> 01:02:07,110
My one chance
to speak to you...unseen.
1170
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:08,290
Unseen?
1171
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:09,740
Yes. Yes.
1172
01:02:10,070 --> 01:02:12,380
Night making all things
dimly beautiful
1173
01:02:12,410 --> 01:02:13,770
one veil over us both.
1174
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,040
You need no eyes
to hear my heart.
1175
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:20,410
Oh, tonight, let it seem as if
I speak for the first time.
1176
01:02:21,150 --> 01:02:22,110
For the first time?
1177
01:02:22,140 --> 01:02:23,000
Yes.
1178
01:02:23,940 --> 01:02:25,780
Your voice, even,
is not the same.
1179
01:02:25,810 --> 01:02:26,990
How should it be.
1180
01:02:27,030 --> 01:02:28,450
I have another
voice tonight.
1181
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:31,250
My own, myself,... daring!
1182
01:02:31,610 --> 01:02:32,610
Why daring?
1183
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,600
Because, what am I, what is any man
would he dare ask for you?
1184
01:02:36,630 --> 01:02:40,780
Therefore my heart has hidden behind
poetic words and tinsel phrases.
1185
01:02:41,260 --> 01:02:43,640
But are they not sweet,
those pretty phrases?
1186
01:02:43,670 --> 01:02:45,630
Not enough sweet
for you and me tonight.
1187
01:02:47,530 --> 01:02:49,240
You never spoke
to me like this.
1188
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,510
I tell you, there comes
one moment, once,
1189
01:02:51,540 --> 01:02:53,800
and heaven help those
who pass that moment by,
1190
01:02:53,830 --> 01:02:56,110
when beauty stands
looking into the soul
1191
01:02:56,150 --> 01:03:01,810
with grave, sweet eyes,
that sicken at pretty words.
1192
01:03:02,650 --> 01:03:06,260
Yes...that is love.
1193
01:03:06,290 --> 01:03:07,010
Love.
1194
01:03:07,050 --> 01:03:09,260
A love beyond breath,
beyond reason,
1195
01:03:09,290 --> 01:03:11,590
beyond love's own
power of loving.
1196
01:03:11,630 --> 01:03:14,200
Your name is like a golden bell
hung in my heart,
1197
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:18,450
and when I think of you I tremble,
and the bell swings and rings,
1198
01:03:18,610 --> 01:03:28,580
Roxane! Roxane!
Along my veins...Roxane.
1199
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:33,970
Yes...that is love.
1200
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,770
(Cyrano)
Yes...that is love.
1201
01:03:36,090 --> 01:03:38,920
That wind of terrible
and jealous beauty,
1202
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:44,200
that dark fire,
that soaring, blinding music.
1203
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,690
Yet, you may take my happiness
to make you happier
1204
01:03:47,730 --> 01:03:49,410
even though you
never know I gave it to you.
1205
01:03:49,940 --> 01:03:55,700
Only let me hear, sometimes, all alone,
the distant laughter of your joy.
1206
01:03:56,740 --> 01:03:58,470
Do you begin
to understand a little?
1207
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,200
Can you feel my soul there
in the darkness breathe on you?
1208
01:04:03,230 --> 01:04:06,630
Oh, only tonight,
now I dare say these things.
1209
01:04:06,790 --> 01:04:09,400
I to you, and you hear them.
1210
01:04:10,030 --> 01:04:12,650
It is my voice, mine, my own
that makes you tremble
1211
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,390
there in the green gloom,
above me, for you do tremble
1212
01:04:15,430 --> 01:04:18,110
as a blossom among the leaves,
you tremble, and I can feel
1213
01:04:18,140 --> 01:04:19,670
all the way down along
this jasmine branch
1214
01:04:19,710 --> 01:04:23,700
whether you will unhold
the passion of you trembling.
1215
01:04:24,340 --> 01:04:25,960
Yes, I do tremble.
1216
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,880
And I weep, and I love you,
and I am yours,
1217
01:04:29,910 --> 01:04:31,720
and you have made me thus.
1218
01:04:36,710 --> 01:04:38,250
I have done this to you.
1219
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,380
I myself.
1220
01:04:44,970 --> 01:04:47,240
Only let me ask
one thing more.
1221
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:48,900
I want a kiss!
1222
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:52,080
You ask me for...
1223
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:53,060
I...yes.
1224
01:04:53,100 --> 01:04:54,260
That is to say...
1225
01:04:54,780 --> 01:04:55,770
I mean...
1226
01:04:56,140 --> 01:04:57,450
You've gone too far.
1227
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,370
If she's willing, why
not make the most of it?
1228
01:04:59,410 --> 01:05:04,270
I, I ask.
I know I ask too much.
1229
01:05:05,150 --> 01:05:06,420
Only one?
1230
01:05:07,550 --> 01:05:08,630
Is that all?
1231
01:05:09,150 --> 01:05:12,210
All?
How much more than all?
1232
01:05:12,250 --> 01:05:16,030
I know I startle you,
I...I ask, I ask you to refuse.
1233
01:05:16,070 --> 01:05:17,200
Why? Why? Why?
1234
01:05:17,230 --> 01:05:18,350
Christian, be quiet.
1235
01:05:18,390 --> 01:05:19,430
What is that your say?
1236
01:05:19,470 --> 01:05:21,810
I am angry with myself,
because I know I go too far
1237
01:05:21,850 --> 01:05:26,270
and so I say to myself,
CHRISTIAN, BE QUIET!
1238
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:28,300
Watch it, someone comes.
1239
01:05:36,390 --> 01:05:39,180
Well, sir, I am looking
for the house of madame Roxane Robin.
1240
01:05:39,220 --> 01:05:43,450
This is not the house. That way.
To the right. Keep to the right.
1241
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:44,330
I thank you sir.
1242
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,880
I shall say my beads for you
to the very last bead.
1243
01:05:49,340 --> 01:05:50,680
Win me that kiss?
1244
01:05:51,370 --> 01:05:52,070
No!
1245
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:53,780
Sooner or later.
1246
01:05:59,170 --> 01:06:00,510
So that is true.
1247
01:06:01,460 --> 01:06:07,540
Sooner or later must be so, because,
she is young, and you are handsome.
1248
01:06:09,170 --> 01:06:15,240
Since it must be, I'd rather be
myself the cause, if it must be.
1249
01:06:16,990 --> 01:06:19,620
(balcony window opens)
1250
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:24,660
Are you still there?
1251
01:06:24,690 --> 01:06:25,470
(Cyrano)
Yes.
1252
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:28,740
We were speaking of...
1253
01:06:30,090 --> 01:06:32,450
A kiss.
- A kiss.
1254
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,340
And what is a kiss
when all is done?
1255
01:06:34,930 --> 01:06:37,080
A vow taken before
the shrine of memory.
1256
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,650
A rosy dot
over the "i" of loving.
1257
01:06:39,790 --> 01:06:42,950
- A secret whisper
to listen if the past.
1258
01:06:42,980 --> 01:06:43,650
Shhh.
1259
01:06:43,690 --> 01:06:46,720
A moment free to mortal
with a rush of wing from Ceden.
1260
01:06:46,750 --> 01:06:48,220
A sacrament of blossoms.
1261
01:06:48,260 --> 01:06:53,250
A new song sung by two hearts
to an old, simple tune.
1262
01:06:53,290 --> 01:06:54,430
Hush.
1263
01:06:54,460 --> 01:06:56,050
Why? What shame?
1264
01:06:58,010 --> 01:07:01,310
No.
No shame.
1265
01:07:01,610 --> 01:07:02,770
Then come.
1266
01:07:03,550 --> 01:07:05,680
Gather your sacred blossoms.
1267
01:07:07,250 --> 01:07:09,230
Your moment made immortal.
1268
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:09,860
Climb!
1269
01:07:10,660 --> 01:07:12,300
- But, climb?
- Many more!
1270
01:07:22,410 --> 01:07:23,760
Roxane.
1271
01:07:33,870 --> 01:07:34,690
(sigh)
1272
01:07:36,090 --> 01:07:39,770
Ah, Roxane.
I have won what I have wanted.
1273
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:45,410
A feast of love,
and I am faint with hunger.
1274
01:07:48,110 --> 01:07:51,040
Yet, I have something here
that is mine now,...
1275
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,380
and was not mine before.
1276
01:07:54,220 --> 01:07:56,790
I spoke the words
that won her.
1277
01:07:57,890 --> 01:08:05,890
She kisses my words.
My words...upon his lips.
1278
01:08:07,230 --> 01:08:08,650
(gate opens)
1279
01:08:13,250 --> 01:08:14,670
What, dear Father,
lost your way again?
1280
01:08:14,710 --> 01:08:16,270
But, she lives here,
Madame Robin.
1281
01:08:16,300 --> 01:08:17,830
Oh, I thought
you said, Rolen?
1282
01:08:17,860 --> 01:08:19,850
No, r..o..b..i..n, Robin.
1283
01:08:19,890 --> 01:08:21,030
Oh, Robin, I see.
1284
01:08:21,070 --> 01:08:23,090
I'm too old
to chase wild geese
1285
01:08:23,130 --> 01:08:25,080
- my feet...
- Oh, what a shame,
1286
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,920
(knocking on door)
however, I'm sure there's someone at home.
1287
01:08:29,330 --> 01:08:30,120
(door opens)
1288
01:08:30,150 --> 01:08:30,860
What is it?
1289
01:08:30,890 --> 01:08:34,570
Yeah, I'm looking for
the young lady, Madam Rolen
1290
01:08:34,610 --> 01:08:35,840
Rolen?
1291
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:37,080
Robin!
1292
01:08:37,950 --> 01:08:40,050
Madame!
A letter for you.
1293
01:08:40,590 --> 01:08:42,070
Yes, yes, I heard.
1294
01:08:42,970 --> 01:08:43,650
Cyrano.
1295
01:08:43,690 --> 01:08:46,080
Uh, passing by cousin,
I saw this light.
1296
01:08:46,700 --> 01:08:50,330
Uh, some matter
profitable to the soul.
1297
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:52,550
A very noble lord gave it to me.
1298
01:08:52,750 --> 01:08:53,640
(Christian)
What is it?
1299
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,100
<i>My regiment has been
ordered to the front. </i>
1300
01:08:57,130 --> 01:08:59,490
<i>I cannot allow you
to delay any longer.</i>
1301
01:08:59,530 --> 01:09:01,820
<i>This simple old monk,
who knows nothing,</i>
1302
01:09:01,850 --> 01:09:04,190
<i>will marry us tonight.
My love, Antoine de Guiche.</i>
1303
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,110
(Roxane changes everything)
1304
01:09:07,150 --> 01:09:08,880
Father, this letter
concerns you.
1305
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,930
"Madame, the Cardinal
will have his way,
1306
01:09:13,970 --> 01:09:15,530
"although against your will.
1307
01:09:15,710 --> 01:09:18,150
"That is why I am
sending this to you,
1308
01:09:18,180 --> 01:09:20,470
"by a most holy man.
1309
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,160
"Intelligent, discreet.
1310
01:09:23,580 --> 01:09:26,660
"You will communicate
to him our order to perform
1311
01:09:26,900 --> 01:09:31,160
"here and at once
the rite of holy matrimony.
1312
01:09:32,570 --> 01:09:35,910
"You and Christian will be
married privately in your house.
1313
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,760
"Be resigned to the
Cardinal's command,
1314
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:41,930
"who sends herewith
his blessings.
1315
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,060
"Your very humble,
and etcetera..."
1316
01:09:44,940 --> 01:09:46,750
Oh, this is terrible.
1317
01:09:48,220 --> 01:09:49,850
Oh, you're to be
the, uh...
1318
01:09:49,890 --> 01:09:51,490
I am to be the bridegroom.
1319
01:09:53,950 --> 01:09:56,230
Uh, look here.
A postscript.
1320
01:09:56,780 --> 01:10:02,320
"Give to the monastery,
in my name 120 pieces of gold."
1321
01:10:02,350 --> 01:10:04,070
One hundred and twenty...
1322
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,530
Oh, a worthy lord.
A very worthy lord.
1323
01:10:09,470 --> 01:10:12,030
Daughter, resign yourself.
1324
01:10:12,070 --> 01:10:14,080
I am resigned.
1325
01:10:22,350 --> 01:10:24,500
The Guiche is coming, too.
Don't let him enter.
1326
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:25,730
Not let him enter?
1327
01:10:25,770 --> 01:10:27,790
Until we're married, please.
1328
01:10:28,610 --> 01:10:30,340
(door slams shut)
1329
01:10:44,330 --> 01:10:45,250
(Count)
What is that?
1330
01:10:45,340 --> 01:10:46,330
(Cyrano)
Me?
1331
01:10:46,370 --> 01:10:48,360
- Why, where did you come from?
- The moon.
1332
01:10:48,390 --> 01:10:49,330
- You...
- From the moon.
1333
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:50,690
I have just returned
from the moon.
1334
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:52,420
- The fellow's mad!
-Like a bomb, I tell you,
1335
01:10:52,460 --> 01:10:54,130
- I fell from the moon!
- Your feet must...
1336
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:55,450
- I say THE MOON!
1337
01:10:55,480 --> 01:10:57,580
- Very well, if you say so.
- Thank you.
1338
01:10:57,610 --> 01:10:58,610
- Raving mad.
1339
01:11:00,660 --> 01:11:02,850
- Where am I?
- My dear sir!
1340
01:11:02,890 --> 01:11:04,080
- What place is this?
What country?
1341
01:11:04,110 --> 01:11:06,170
- Please, let me pass.
- This face, good heavens!
1342
01:11:06,210 --> 01:11:08,710
Maul, a robber.
Where am I?
1343
01:11:08,750 --> 01:11:12,830
- A lady is waiting for me.
- Oh, this is Paris, huh?
1344
01:11:12,870 --> 01:11:13,620
You fool!
1345
01:11:13,650 --> 01:11:14,800
Dear old Paris.
1346
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,750
Excuse my appearance.
I arrived by the last thunderbolt.
1347
01:11:17,790 --> 01:11:19,970
A trifled singed
as I passed through the ether.
1348
01:11:20,470 --> 01:11:21,320
Monsieur!
1349
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:22,080
Sir?
1350
01:11:22,130 --> 01:11:23,750
That will do, now. I wish...
1351
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,600
I know, you wish to look for
my own list of nature for moons
1352
01:11:25,630 --> 01:11:27,820
and happiness and character
of it's surface, if any.
1353
01:11:27,850 --> 01:11:29,060
I desire no such thing, I...
1354
01:11:29,100 --> 01:11:30,060
Of course not.
1355
01:11:32,940 --> 01:11:34,330
You wish to know
by what mysterious
1356
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:35,570
means I reached the moon.
1357
01:11:35,610 --> 01:11:37,870
Well, a very secret affair of state,
1358
01:11:37,900 --> 01:11:41,770
but confidentially
a new invention of my own.
1359
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:43,190
Drunk, two ways.
Well a man..
1360
01:11:43,230 --> 01:11:46,050
Oh, no. In truth I have
my choice of several inventions.
1361
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:46,600
Uh?
1362
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:50,850
Yes, several ways
to violate the virgin sky.
1363
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:52,210
Several?
1364
01:11:52,250 --> 01:11:53,510
Several.
1365
01:11:53,540 --> 01:11:57,520
As, for instance, smoke
having a natural tendency to rise,
1366
01:11:57,550 --> 01:12:02,050
blow in a globe
enough to raise me.
1367
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:03,300
Yes, that makes one.
1368
01:12:03,330 --> 01:12:06,780
Again, I might construct a rocket
in the shape of a HUGE locust
1369
01:12:06,820 --> 01:12:10,810
driven by impulses up within
a saltpeter from the rear
1370
01:12:10,850 --> 01:12:14,050
and thus speed upwards,
like, thus!
1371
01:12:14,260 --> 01:12:15,260
Yes, another?
1372
01:12:15,290 --> 01:12:18,950
Finally, seated on an iron plate,
hurl a magnet into the air.
1373
01:12:18,980 --> 01:12:21,810
The iron follows.
I catch the magnet.
1374
01:12:21,850 --> 01:12:25,330
Throw it again, and
so proceed indefinitely.
1375
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,460
Excellent, and
which did you adopt?
1376
01:12:31,450 --> 01:12:32,370
Why none of them.
1377
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:34,350
Yet another.
1378
01:12:34,390 --> 01:12:35,740
Which was...?
1379
01:12:46,810 --> 01:12:47,500
Guess.
1380
01:12:47,860 --> 01:12:49,370
Ahhh, I can't!
1381
01:12:50,090 --> 01:12:51,100
Try.
1382
01:12:52,340 --> 01:12:53,980
Interesting idiot, this.
1383
01:13:05,350 --> 01:13:06,540
Have you guessed it yet?
1384
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:07,960
Why, no, what is it?
1385
01:13:13,780 --> 01:13:15,870
Alas, you will never know,
but no matter.
1386
01:13:15,910 --> 01:13:18,470
You are free and
they are bound in wedlock.
1387
01:13:18,510 --> 01:13:21,010
I drunk that voice,
and that nose, Cyrano!
1388
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:23,710
Cyrano. This very moment
they have exchanged vows.
1389
01:13:23,750 --> 01:13:24,460
Who?
1390
01:13:29,820 --> 01:13:31,530
My sincere compliments.
1391
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,900
You, also, my traveler in space.
1392
01:13:34,940 --> 01:13:37,800
My Lord, the heads of Capathieu
and Joyce have joined together.
1393
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:38,750
Quite so!
1394
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:44,160
Madame, kindly bid
your... husband farewell.
1395
01:13:44,190 --> 01:13:46,670
Your regiment leaves tonight, sir.
Report at once!
1396
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:49,320
But, the Cadets are not called.
1397
01:13:49,350 --> 01:13:51,850
They are, indeed, and
under my command.
1398
01:13:52,710 --> 01:13:55,080
Out there we may
have an accounting.
1399
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:58,130
Somehow, that news
fails to disquiet me.
1400
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,190
Here are the orders.
Baron, deliver this.
1401
01:14:02,500 --> 01:14:03,650
Christian!
1402
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,660
The bridal night
is not so near.
1403
01:14:10,090 --> 01:14:13,400
Somehow that news
fails to disquiet me.
1404
01:14:17,710 --> 01:14:19,340
Baron, you have your orders.
1405
01:14:36,270 --> 01:14:37,530
Farewell, Roxane.
1406
01:14:38,290 --> 01:14:40,490
Take care of him, for me.
Promise me never to let him
1407
01:14:40,530 --> 01:14:41,400
do anything dangerous.
1408
01:14:41,430 --> 01:14:42,890
I will do my best.
I cannot promise.
1409
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:44,970
I thought you brave always.
Make him be careful.
1410
01:14:45,010 --> 01:14:46,070
Yes, yes, I'll try.
1411
01:14:46,110 --> 01:14:47,840
Be sure to keep him
warm and dry!
1412
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:49,150
Yes, if possible.
1413
01:14:49,190 --> 01:14:51,820
Have him write to me
every single day!
1414
01:14:51,860 --> 01:14:54,090
That, I promise you.
1415
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,970
(the war with Spain)
1416
01:15:40,820 --> 01:15:41,540
Halt!
1417
01:16:03,370 --> 01:16:03,920
Uh!
1418
01:16:13,930 --> 01:16:18,590
(Madame Baroness de Neuvillette,
Rue Marais No. 12, Paris)
1419
01:16:46,610 --> 01:16:48,170
The situation
is simple, gentlemen.
1420
01:16:48,420 --> 01:16:53,340
We have besieged Arras.
The Prince of Spain has besieged us.
1421
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,960
Consequently, we
are surrounded.
1422
01:16:56,050 --> 01:16:58,920
- A fine war. Where
the besiegers are besieged
1423
01:16:58,950 --> 01:17:00,020
and starve to death.
1424
01:17:00,060 --> 01:17:01,990
Yes, but the Marshal has
devised a brilliant plan
1425
01:17:02,030 --> 01:17:03,480
for bringing in food
this very night.
1426
01:17:03,510 --> 01:17:04,460
Now, see here.
1427
01:17:04,500 --> 01:17:06,240
Spare us the details, Colonel.
1428
01:17:06,270 --> 01:17:08,820
Merely inform us
when the food arrives.
1429
01:17:08,860 --> 01:17:11,380
True, we are hungry.
But why blame me?
1430
01:17:11,700 --> 01:17:13,320
I'm only your Colonel.
1431
01:17:14,700 --> 01:17:16,910
Oh, yes, I know
you disprove of me.
1432
01:17:17,020 --> 01:17:18,940
Call me courtier, politician.
1433
01:17:19,430 --> 01:17:22,080
Well, I can afford you little hates.
1434
01:17:22,110 --> 01:17:24,730
My conduct under fire
is well known.
1435
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,170
It was only yesterday
I repelled a Spanish attack.
1436
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,070
Pouring my men down
like an avalanche.
1437
01:17:29,250 --> 01:17:30,710
I, myself lead the charge.
1438
01:17:30,900 --> 01:17:33,330
- And your white scarf?
(through a cannon barrel)
1439
01:17:33,370 --> 01:17:34,130
Cyrano!
1440
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:39,140
And your white scarf?
1441
01:17:39,150 --> 01:17:40,480
Eh, you heard that episode?
1442
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:44,110
Yes, I was so far in advance
I was in danger of being captured.
1443
01:17:44,180 --> 01:17:46,570
But I thought quickly,
took off and flung away
1444
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,290
the scarf that marked
my military rank.
1445
01:17:48,420 --> 01:17:51,150
And so being inconspicuous
escaped among my own force,
1446
01:17:51,410 --> 01:17:54,250
rallied them, returned,
and won the day.
1447
01:17:54,290 --> 01:17:55,500
What do you say to that?
1448
01:17:55,540 --> 01:17:58,550
Still, enough that is not likely
to resign the privilege of being a target.
1449
01:17:58,580 --> 01:18:01,690
How pleasant for you
that you are denied that privilege.
1450
01:18:01,730 --> 01:18:03,650
Pleasant?
Lend me your scarf.
1451
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:05,570
With your permission I shall
lead the first charge tonight
1452
01:18:05,610 --> 01:18:06,890
wearing it over my shoulder.
1453
01:18:06,930 --> 01:18:07,720
What bluster.
1454
01:18:07,750 --> 01:18:09,630
You're safe making that offer,
and you know it.
1455
01:18:09,670 --> 01:18:12,620
My scarf lies on the
river bank between the lines.
1456
01:18:12,650 --> 01:18:15,560
A spot swept by artillery.
Impossible to reach alive.
1457
01:18:15,700 --> 01:18:16,700
Yes.
1458
01:18:16,730 --> 01:18:20,500
(displays the Colonel's scarf)
1459
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:22,410
Here.
1460
01:18:22,580 --> 01:18:24,590
(laughter)
1461
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:26,500
Thank you.
1462
01:18:28,180 --> 01:18:31,000
This bit of white is
what I need to make a signal.
1463
01:18:31,820 --> 01:18:33,360
I was hesitating.
1464
01:18:33,940 --> 01:18:35,720
You have decided me.
1465
01:18:41,370 --> 01:18:43,010
- Stand or I'll fire!
- Hold you fire.
1466
01:18:43,050 --> 01:18:44,650
There's a man down
there running away.
1467
01:18:44,690 --> 01:18:46,700
Yes, a Spaniard.
1468
01:18:47,440 --> 01:18:50,310
But very useful as a spy
to both sides.
1469
01:18:51,270 --> 01:18:52,480
As I was about
to tell you.
1470
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,100
The Marshal has withdrawn
more than half our forces here.
1471
01:18:55,140 --> 01:18:57,190
Fortunately, the Spaniards
do not know that.
1472
01:18:57,230 --> 01:19:00,470
Oh, yes, they do now,
and they will attack tonight.
1473
01:19:00,510 --> 01:19:02,240
At this point.
1474
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:04,520
Your revenge, eh?
1475
01:19:04,550 --> 01:19:06,670
I make not great
pretense in loving you.
1476
01:19:06,770 --> 01:19:10,170
But since you gentlemen
esteem yourselves invincible,
1477
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,710
the bravest of the brave,
and all that.
1478
01:19:12,750 --> 01:19:14,120
Why need we be personal.
1479
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,710
The Marshal needs
a diversion, and I serve him
1480
01:19:16,740 --> 01:19:19,040
in choosing as I chose.
1481
01:19:19,210 --> 01:19:21,440
As you can see, Captain,
the great thing is to gain time.
1482
01:19:21,470 --> 01:19:23,070
To hold until the Marshal returns.
1483
01:19:23,180 --> 01:19:24,980
- And to gain time?
1484
01:19:25,490 --> 01:19:31,370
You will all be so kind
as to lay down your lives.
1485
01:19:39,610 --> 01:19:40,700
Christian?
1486
01:19:40,740 --> 01:19:41,400
Yes.
1487
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:46,130
Roxane?
1488
01:19:46,940 --> 01:19:49,260
I should like to say
farewell to her
1489
01:19:49,290 --> 01:19:51,580
with my whole
heart for her to keep.
1490
01:19:53,630 --> 01:19:55,610
I have taken the liberty of...
1491
01:19:58,580 --> 01:20:03,760
(the first letter
Christian is aware of)
1492
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:05,110
But, wait.
1493
01:20:07,270 --> 01:20:08,180
This little spot.
1494
01:20:08,620 --> 01:20:09,360
Spot?
1495
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:10,100
Yes.
1496
01:20:10,470 --> 01:20:11,550
A tear.
1497
01:20:13,500 --> 01:20:14,210
Is nothing.
1498
01:20:14,250 --> 01:20:16,860
A poet while he writes
is like a lover in his lady's arms,
1499
01:20:16,890 --> 01:20:19,060
believing his imagination,
everything seems real.
1500
01:20:19,090 --> 01:20:20,710
There's half the charm
of writing.
1501
01:20:21,230 --> 01:20:24,000
Now, I made this letter
so pathetic, that,
1502
01:20:24,030 --> 01:20:27,290
while I was writing it,
I wept.
1503
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:28,110
You wept?
1504
01:20:28,650 --> 01:20:31,590
Why, yes, because
it is a little thing to die,
1505
01:20:32,500 --> 01:20:36,710
but not to see her,...
that is terrible.
1506
01:20:37,700 --> 01:20:41,890
I shall never...,
you will never...
1507
01:20:42,480 --> 01:20:43,690
Give me that.
1508
01:20:45,190 --> 01:20:48,500
- Halt. Who goes there.
- On the service of the King.
1509
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:01,330
- The King!
- Fall in...
1510
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:11,620
Good evening.
1511
01:21:11,650 --> 01:21:13,540
On the King's service, you?
1512
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:25,850
- Gentlemen,...
- What are you doing here?
1513
01:21:25,890 --> 01:21:28,300
- We heard rumors at home
you were hungry,
1514
01:21:28,340 --> 01:21:29,810
- so we came prepared.
1515
01:21:29,850 --> 01:21:34,500
The Spaniards adored the fare,
but they missed the fowl!
1516
01:21:34,530 --> 01:21:37,560
(soldiers clamor for food)
1517
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:47,020
But why did you come here
into this, this danger?
1518
01:21:47,060 --> 01:21:49,420
They said in Paris
there was no fighting.
1519
01:21:50,450 --> 01:21:53,620
Besides, it was your own fault.
1520
01:22:01,410 --> 01:22:03,770
Think of the
letters you have written me.
1521
01:22:04,050 --> 01:22:06,510
How many times!
Every day!
1522
01:22:06,550 --> 01:22:07,680
Every day?
1523
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:08,820
Of course.
1524
01:22:08,980 --> 01:22:11,560
And each one
more wonderful than the last.
1525
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:14,820
All this, for a few absurd love letters.
1526
01:22:14,860 --> 01:22:18,050
Hush. Absurd?
Your letters...no, never.
1527
01:22:19,030 --> 01:22:22,730
Every one was like hearing your voice
that night in the dark. Remember?
1528
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:26,590
Like your arms around me.
I read them over and over.
1529
01:22:26,630 --> 01:22:30,420
Every page was like
a petal fallen from you soul.
1530
01:22:30,460 --> 01:22:33,350
Like the light
and the fire of a great love.
1531
01:22:33,390 --> 01:22:36,020
- Sweet and strong and true.
- Sweet.
1532
01:22:36,180 --> 01:22:37,280
Strong.
1533
01:22:37,590 --> 01:22:38,490
True?
1534
01:22:41,570 --> 01:22:43,090
Oh, my Christian.
1535
01:22:43,690 --> 01:22:46,420
I came here to ask forgiveness.
1536
01:22:47,660 --> 01:22:49,380
It is time to be forgiven.
1537
01:22:49,860 --> 01:22:51,950
Now, when we
may die so soon.
1538
01:22:53,780 --> 01:22:55,380
Forgive me for being
light and vain
1539
01:22:55,410 --> 01:22:57,570
and loving you only
because you were handsome.
1540
01:22:57,600 --> 01:22:59,230
- For now...
- Now?
1541
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:01,940
I love you for yourself.
1542
01:23:02,350 --> 01:23:04,090
For what you are.
1543
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:05,340
Roxane.
1544
01:23:05,910 --> 01:23:09,000
How you must have suffered.
For you saw how frivolous I was.
1545
01:23:09,030 --> 01:23:11,300
And to be loved
for the mere costume,
1546
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,090
for the poor, casual
body you went about in.
1547
01:23:14,750 --> 01:23:17,620
To a soul like yours,
that must have been torture.
1548
01:23:17,650 --> 01:23:18,390
No.
1549
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:23,140
I understand.
1550
01:23:23,790 --> 01:23:25,930
You cannot perfectly
believe in me,
1551
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:27,530
a...a love like this...
1552
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:29,090
I want no love like this.
1553
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,020
I want love only for...
1554
01:23:31,050 --> 01:23:33,090
Only for what every
woman sees in you.
1555
01:23:33,700 --> 01:23:35,030
I can to better than that.
1556
01:23:35,060 --> 01:23:37,240
No, it...it was best before.
1557
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,090
You do not
altogether know me.
1558
01:23:40,540 --> 01:23:42,260
I was a child.
1559
01:23:42,350 --> 01:23:43,650
I'm a woman now.
1560
01:23:44,250 --> 01:23:46,720
- If...if you were less handsome,
- No.
1561
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:50,130
unattractive, ugly even,
I should love you, still.
1562
01:23:50,770 --> 01:23:51,900
Do you mean that?
1563
01:23:52,510 --> 01:23:53,750
I do mean that.
1564
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:55,020
Ugly?
1565
01:23:55,100 --> 01:23:56,200
Even then.
1566
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:58,050
Now, are you happy?
1567
01:24:03,470 --> 01:24:04,650
Yes.
1568
01:24:04,690 --> 01:24:05,500
What is it?
1569
01:24:06,190 --> 01:24:08,690
Nothing, only, Cyrano...
1570
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:10,830
Cyrano.
1571
01:24:12,050 --> 01:24:14,090
he has something
to tell you.
1572
01:24:16,180 --> 01:24:17,200
Where are you going?
1573
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:20,690
I...will...return...in a moment.
1574
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:30,050
Cyrano.
1575
01:24:30,650 --> 01:24:32,480
Your wife, sir,
she goes with me?
1576
01:24:32,510 --> 01:24:33,340
No, sir, she remains.
1577
01:24:33,380 --> 01:24:34,670
There is still time
for her to escape.
1578
01:24:34,710 --> 01:24:35,640
She stays!
1579
01:24:36,030 --> 01:24:36,790
Very well.
1580
01:24:36,820 --> 01:24:38,950
Someone give me a musket.
I stay here also.
1581
01:24:39,420 --> 01:24:40,640
Sir, you show courage.
1582
01:24:40,670 --> 01:24:42,890
What, shall I run away,
and leave a woman?
1583
01:24:43,450 --> 01:24:45,320
Colonel, my compliments, sir.
1584
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:47,810
What of Roxane?
1585
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:48,470
Wait.
1586
01:24:49,350 --> 01:24:50,860
Well, what is it?
You look so...
1587
01:24:52,830 --> 01:24:54,580
She does not love me.
1588
01:24:54,990 --> 01:24:57,310
- You think not?
- She loves you.
1589
01:24:57,340 --> 01:24:59,630
- No.
- She loves only my soul.
1590
01:24:59,660 --> 01:25:00,370
- No.
- Yes!
1591
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:03,140
That means you.
And you love her.
1592
01:25:03,170 --> 01:25:05,300
- I?
- I see. I know.
1593
01:25:05,340 --> 01:25:08,310
You wrote her,
everyday, every day!
1594
01:25:08,820 --> 01:25:10,030
- Perfectly simple.
- Simple?
1595
01:25:10,060 --> 01:25:11,700
For a month,
we've been blockaded here.
1596
01:25:11,740 --> 01:25:13,340
How did you send
all those letters?
1597
01:25:13,370 --> 01:25:14,500
Before daylight
I managed...
1598
01:25:14,530 --> 01:25:16,070
To face death
everyday.
1599
01:25:16,820 --> 01:25:17,950
You love her.
1600
01:25:19,020 --> 01:25:20,190
Yes.
1601
01:25:26,950 --> 01:25:27,890
Tell her so.
1602
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:29,250
- No.
- Why not?
1603
01:25:29,350 --> 01:25:32,290
Why?
Look at me.
1604
01:25:32,590 --> 01:25:35,420
She would love me
if I were ugly.
1605
01:25:35,990 --> 01:25:38,820
- She said that?
- Yes. Now, go to her.
1606
01:25:40,090 --> 01:25:42,410
Nonsense. Do not
believe any such madness.
1607
01:25:42,440 --> 01:25:44,730
Go back to her.
You never will be ugly.
1608
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:45,810
Go!
It is you she loves.
1609
01:25:45,850 --> 01:25:46,870
That is what
we shall see.
1610
01:25:46,900 --> 01:25:47,840
No, no!
1611
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:49,480
- Let her chose between us.
- No.
1612
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:51,510
- Tell her everything.
- Why do you torture me?
1613
01:25:51,550 --> 01:25:54,700
Shall I ruin your happiness,
because I was born with a pretty face?
1614
01:25:54,740 --> 01:25:57,210
Am I to ruin yours,
because I happen to have power
1615
01:25:57,250 --> 01:25:58,750
to say what you perhaps feel?
1616
01:25:58,780 --> 01:26:00,910
- Tell her!
- Don't drive me too far!
1617
01:26:00,950 --> 01:26:03,210
- I'm tired of being my own rival.
- Hard to know.
1618
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:05,470
My secret marriage, that
can be annulled, I expect.
1619
01:26:05,500 --> 01:26:07,790
I want her love
for the poor fool than I am,
1620
01:26:07,860 --> 01:26:09,020
or not at all.
1621
01:26:09,390 --> 01:26:12,090
Oh, I'm going through with this.
I'll know one way or the other.
1622
01:26:12,870 --> 01:26:15,280
Now, go!....Tell her.
1623
01:26:15,480 --> 01:26:16,790
Let her chose one of us.
1624
01:26:17,570 --> 01:26:18,780
It will be you.
1625
01:26:19,670 --> 01:26:21,330
I hope so.
1626
01:26:33,070 --> 01:26:33,820
- Captain!
1627
01:26:36,570 --> 01:26:38,100
The Spanish fires are going out.
1628
01:26:41,030 --> 01:26:42,160
It begins.
1629
01:26:42,220 --> 01:26:44,140
I need a scout. Where's Cyrano.
1630
01:26:44,490 --> 01:26:45,280
Captain.
1631
01:26:45,850 --> 01:26:46,740
Let me go.
1632
01:26:46,780 --> 01:26:49,490
No, my boy, Cyrano knows
the terrain. He knows their lines.
1633
01:26:49,530 --> 01:26:51,550
So do I.
Please, allow me.
1634
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:56,070
Very well.
We must know from which
1635
01:26:56,110 --> 01:26:58,810
direction the advance comes.
Their weight and numbers.
1636
01:26:58,840 --> 01:26:59,560
I understand.
1637
01:27:11,940 --> 01:27:12,780
Roxane.
1638
01:27:13,430 --> 01:27:14,450
Cyrano.
1639
01:27:14,480 --> 01:27:15,930
Christian thinks...
1640
01:27:17,470 --> 01:27:19,190
Christian thinks you
ought to know that...
1641
01:27:19,220 --> 01:27:20,240
But I do know.
1642
01:27:20,770 --> 01:27:22,850
He still doubts what I
just told him, just now.
1643
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:23,860
I saw that.
1644
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:27,560
Yes, but,...was it true,
what you told him just now?
1645
01:27:27,590 --> 01:27:28,900
It was true.
1646
01:27:28,990 --> 01:27:32,270
I said that I should love him,
even if he were....
1647
01:27:33,020 --> 01:27:34,580
The word comes
hard before me?
1648
01:27:37,420 --> 01:27:38,860
Say it, I shall
not be hurt.
1649
01:27:39,370 --> 01:27:40,620
Ugly?
1650
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:42,130
Even, then
I should love him.
1651
01:27:43,500 --> 01:27:44,690
Disfigured.
1652
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:45,870
Or disfigured.
1653
01:27:46,480 --> 01:27:49,620
Even....grotesque.
1654
01:27:49,650 --> 01:27:51,350
How could he
every be grotesque,
1655
01:27:51,810 --> 01:27:52,950
ever to me?
1656
01:27:52,990 --> 01:27:55,580
But, you could love him so,
as much as?
1657
01:27:55,610 --> 01:27:56,790
Yes, and more.
1658
01:27:57,320 --> 01:27:58,320
Roxane...
1659
01:27:58,350 --> 01:27:59,300
(gunshot)
1660
01:27:59,340 --> 01:28:00,260
What is it?
1661
01:28:01,550 --> 01:28:02,600
Are they fighting?
1662
01:28:05,250 --> 01:28:06,510
What is happening?
1663
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:08,010
- The Spaniards advance,
1664
01:28:08,940 --> 01:28:09,930
but there is time.
1665
01:28:10,480 --> 01:28:12,370
- Where is Christian?
- At the parapet.
1666
01:28:12,820 --> 01:28:13,890
Oh, of course.
1667
01:28:14,930 --> 01:28:16,750
What is it
that you wish to tell me?
1668
01:28:16,780 --> 01:28:18,140
Roxane,...
1669
01:28:18,810 --> 01:28:21,690
believe me this is difficult,
and for once I lack words.
1670
01:28:24,690 --> 01:28:26,330
Christian asked me to...
1671
01:28:26,440 --> 01:28:27,850
He told me...
1672
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:38,220
Christian!
1673
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:42,970
To your places, gentlemen.
1674
01:28:43,970 --> 01:28:45,130
Is he dead?
1675
01:28:45,170 --> 01:28:46,260
No, but dying.
1676
01:28:46,300 --> 01:28:47,660
I will not let him!
1677
01:28:51,870 --> 01:28:54,530
Cyrano...did you?
1678
01:28:54,570 --> 01:28:56,610
Yes, my friend.
I have told her.
1679
01:28:58,350 --> 01:28:59,450
She loves you.
1680
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:02,190
Roxane.
1681
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:03,570
Yes, my darling.
1682
01:29:06,020 --> 01:29:07,320
Christian!
1683
01:29:08,170 --> 01:29:09,370
He is not dead?
1684
01:29:10,930 --> 01:29:11,830
Yes.
1685
01:29:12,310 --> 01:29:13,640
(gasp)
1686
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:22,890
Time you must go, now.
1687
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:25,860
Really, he is dead.
1688
01:29:25,890 --> 01:29:27,740
No one else
knew him but you.
1689
01:29:28,250 --> 01:29:29,630
Was he not a hero?
1690
01:29:29,670 --> 01:29:30,700
Yes, Roxane.
1691
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:33,340
A heart deeper
than we knew.
1692
01:29:33,380 --> 01:29:34,930
Yes, Roxane.
1693
01:29:35,010 --> 01:29:39,310
A poet.
A soul magnificently tender.
1694
01:29:41,750 --> 01:29:43,660
Yes, Roxane.
1695
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:46,740
But he is dead now.
1696
01:29:48,390 --> 01:29:50,030
(collapses sobbing)
1697
01:29:50,070 --> 01:29:51,230
Why, so am I.
1698
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:55,060
For I am dead
and my love mourns for me
1699
01:29:55,100 --> 01:29:56,550
and does not know.
1700
01:29:58,190 --> 01:29:59,530
Will never know.
1701
01:29:59,570 --> 01:30:00,990
(rapid gunfire)
1702
01:30:01,030 --> 01:30:02,410
(bugle calls)
1703
01:30:03,030 --> 01:30:04,030
Take her away quickly.
1704
01:30:05,670 --> 01:30:06,500
Wait.
1705
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:09,220
A letter over his heart.
1706
01:30:11,490 --> 01:30:12,850
(sobbing)
1707
01:30:16,740 --> 01:30:18,460
I have two deaths
to avenge, now,
1708
01:30:19,090 --> 01:30:22,670
Christian's...and my own.
1709
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:42,210
(fighting becomes intense)
1710
01:30:43,330 --> 01:30:46,820
(the Spanish army advances)
1711
01:30:49,450 --> 01:30:50,280
Fire!
1712
01:31:00,270 --> 01:31:02,810
Surrender or you die!
1713
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:51,720
(de Guiche)
Look! The signal!
1714
01:32:59,940 --> 01:33:00,940
Ah!
1715
01:33:07,070 --> 01:33:09,610
We fought. We died.
We fought again.
1716
01:33:09,750 --> 01:33:12,760
Who are these men who are
so fond of death, one Spaniard cried.
1717
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:14,440
On and on, they came.
1718
01:33:14,570 --> 01:33:17,210
Then, when all seemed lost,
we heard the trumpets
1719
01:33:17,250 --> 01:33:19,850
of our returning troops.
The battle was ours!
1720
01:33:20,690 --> 01:33:24,050
Ah, you have been fortunate,
Ms. de Bergerac, you have lived!
1721
01:33:24,090 --> 01:33:28,870
While we, we waste our youth.
There is no war and not hope for any.
1722
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:30,880
No hope for any?
1723
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:34,220
My fellow, I just realize,
we are both fools.
1724
01:33:34,630 --> 01:33:37,550
But mine is the greater folly,
for I am an older fool.
1725
01:33:38,170 --> 01:33:42,320
What is more......
Everything I told you was a lie.
1726
01:33:47,550 --> 01:33:49,680
Another satire
for the Gazette?
1727
01:33:49,710 --> 01:33:50,410
Yes.
1728
01:33:50,820 --> 01:33:53,480
Another glove flung
in the face of power?
1729
01:33:53,650 --> 01:33:55,400
Oh, why do you
do it, Cyrano?
1730
01:33:55,430 --> 01:33:57,860
- Why do you attack...
- Stupidity?
1731
01:33:57,880 --> 01:34:01,180
Deceit? Corruption?
I'm too old to change.
1732
01:34:01,370 --> 01:34:03,980
I'm an old dog
with nothing left but his teeth.
1733
01:34:04,010 --> 01:34:06,580
Ah, but teeth can be pulled.
That can be painful.
1734
01:34:10,440 --> 01:34:14,580
That insolent wretch.
That scoundrel de Bergerac.
1735
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:17,180
This time he's gone too far.
I swear it.
1736
01:34:17,210 --> 01:34:18,790
He's signed his death warrant.
1737
01:34:19,950 --> 01:34:21,730
And who will deliver it?
1738
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:25,040
His sword is still very
powerful, my friend.
1739
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:27,230
There are may ways
a man can die.
1740
01:34:27,990 --> 01:34:29,550
Who knows?
1741
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:31,430
He may meet
with an accident.
1742
01:34:32,550 --> 01:34:33,570
Soon.
1743
01:34:35,100 --> 01:34:38,710
(church chimes)
1744
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:46,060
But, uh, tell me, Madame.
1745
01:34:46,180 --> 01:34:50,830
How long will you continue
to remain here, forever in mourning?
1746
01:34:51,670 --> 01:34:52,570
Forever.
1747
01:34:53,060 --> 01:34:55,080
Was Christian all that?
1748
01:34:55,770 --> 01:34:57,400
If you knew him
you would not ask.
1749
01:34:57,950 --> 01:35:00,150
His last letter
is still in my heart.
1750
01:35:00,820 --> 01:35:04,770
And, uh, Cyrano?
Do you see him often?
1751
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:09,240
Every week. My old friend
takes the place of my Gazette.
1752
01:35:09,620 --> 01:35:11,320
He brings me all the news.
1753
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:14,940
Every Saturday under
that tree out there.
1754
01:35:14,980 --> 01:35:17,070
I wait for him embroidering.
1755
01:35:17,430 --> 01:35:20,240
The hour strikes.
I need not turn to look.
1756
01:35:20,570 --> 01:35:24,070
At the last stroke,
I hear his cane tapping the walk.
1757
01:35:24,100 --> 01:35:26,430
His satires have made
him many enemies.
1758
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:29,740
But, they still fear
that sword of his.
1759
01:35:30,330 --> 01:35:32,130
No one dare touch him.
1760
01:35:32,510 --> 01:35:33,670
Hm, that may be so.
1761
01:35:35,620 --> 01:35:38,160
It is not violence
I fear for him,
1762
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:42,560
but solitude, poverty.
Old gray Decembers
1763
01:35:42,590 --> 01:35:45,350
stealing on wolf's feet
into his darkened room.
1764
01:35:46,010 --> 01:35:48,230
It seems to me he's
worn the same old coat
1765
01:35:48,260 --> 01:35:49,610
for many months, now.
1766
01:35:49,650 --> 01:35:51,740
Eh, that is nothing
strange in this world.
1767
01:35:51,780 --> 01:35:53,820
You need not pity
him overmuch.
1768
01:35:53,860 --> 01:35:56,930
He lives his life,
his own life his own way,
1769
01:35:56,970 --> 01:36:00,300
thought, word and deed free.
1770
01:36:00,450 --> 01:36:01,610
My Lord Duke.
1771
01:36:01,750 --> 01:36:05,860
Oh, yes, I know.
I have all. He has nothing.
1772
01:36:06,370 --> 01:36:12,170
Nevertheless, today,
I should be proud to shake his hand.
1773
01:36:12,350 --> 01:36:14,000
Ah, well, adieu.
1774
01:36:14,670 --> 01:36:16,300
Will I ever see you again?
1775
01:36:16,340 --> 01:36:17,970
Come whenever you like.
1776
01:36:18,010 --> 01:36:19,610
Then, you have forgiven me.
1777
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:21,680
I am here.
1778
01:36:22,950 --> 01:36:25,380
Do you know?
When a man wins
1779
01:36:25,420 --> 01:36:29,750
everything in this world,
when he succeeds too much,
1780
01:36:29,790 --> 01:36:34,190
he feels, somehow,
a thousand small displeasures
1781
01:36:34,230 --> 01:36:38,560
with himself, whose whole sum
is not quite remorse
1782
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:45,570
but rather a sort of vague
disgust, dry illusions, pained regrets.
1783
01:36:45,870 --> 01:36:48,730
Yes, now and then,
I envy your Cyrano.
1784
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:50,860
The sentiment
does you honor.
1785
01:36:50,890 --> 01:36:52,250
(chuckling)
1786
01:36:59,350 --> 01:37:04,280
Madame, I must tell you,
it is true that no one has yet
1787
01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:06,490
dared to attack
your friend Cyrano.
1788
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:11,380
Nevertheless, at the theater
last night, I heard some things.
1789
01:37:12,260 --> 01:37:13,720
Keep him at home all you can.
1790
01:37:14,090 --> 01:37:17,330
Tomorrow when you see him,
tell him to be careful.
1791
01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:19,130
I thank you.
1792
01:37:32,050 --> 01:37:33,140
(Cyrano)
Good night, Ragueneau.
1793
01:37:33,180 --> 01:37:35,120
(Ragueneau)
Cyrano, you not leaving?
1794
01:37:35,150 --> 01:37:37,030
You will not have
dinner here with me?
1795
01:37:37,060 --> 01:37:38,860
(Cyrano)
My regrets. I have a magnificent
1796
01:37:38,900 --> 01:37:42,450
roast waiting for me, a rare wine,
a gift from my publisher.
1797
01:37:42,490 --> 01:37:43,890
(Ragueneau)
Fine, to be sure.
1798
01:37:44,650 --> 01:37:47,490
Uh, have you seen
Moliere's new play?
1799
01:37:47,530 --> 01:37:48,160
No.
1800
01:37:48,340 --> 01:37:49,650
Heh, ah, well....
1801
01:37:49,690 --> 01:37:50,580
What is it?
1802
01:37:50,610 --> 01:37:51,460
Well, he...
1803
01:37:51,500 --> 01:37:52,250
Speak.
1804
01:37:52,290 --> 01:37:55,220
He stole a scene
from you, word for word.
1805
01:37:55,250 --> 01:37:57,140
You know, "What the devil
was he doing there?"
1806
01:37:57,170 --> 01:37:57,730
That one.
1807
01:37:57,770 --> 01:37:59,040
He stole it, bodily.
1808
01:37:59,070 --> 01:38:01,300
Well, he showed
good taste.
1809
01:38:01,340 --> 01:38:03,020
It, uh, played well?
1810
01:38:03,060 --> 01:38:05,450
Oh, beautifully. They
laughed and laughed.
1811
01:38:05,480 --> 01:38:06,810
Oh, how they laughed.
1812
01:38:07,250 --> 01:38:08,560
Moliere has genius.
1813
01:38:09,370 --> 01:38:11,010
Christian had good looks.
1814
01:38:12,170 --> 01:38:13,610
With me, it was
always thus.
1815
01:38:16,050 --> 01:38:17,240
Good night, my friend.
1816
01:38:32,340 --> 01:38:32,950
(man)
Hold, there.
1817
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:33,950
(man)
You!
1818
01:38:35,650 --> 01:38:36,850
(Cyrano)
Are you addressing me?
1819
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:38,990
Yes, you, Monsieur
of the long nose.
1820
01:38:39,100 --> 01:38:40,000
Insolence.
1821
01:38:40,290 --> 01:38:41,990
- Foulmouthed scribbler.
- What?
1822
01:38:42,020 --> 01:38:43,440
- Lair, plagiarist!
- Liar.
1823
01:38:47,910 --> 01:38:49,660
(whistling to wagon)
1824
01:39:08,630 --> 01:39:10,920
(driver whips horses)
1825
01:39:27,570 --> 01:39:28,490
Doctor.
1826
01:39:29,930 --> 01:39:31,260
Why pretend?
1827
01:39:31,550 --> 01:39:32,910
It is very grave.
1828
01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:35,500
Keep him quiet
at all costs.
1829
01:39:35,540 --> 01:39:38,500
If he attempts
to rise, he will die.
1830
01:39:38,540 --> 01:39:39,810
Shhhh.
1831
01:39:43,220 --> 01:39:43,930
Thank you.
1832
01:39:44,980 --> 01:39:47,240
(door closes)
1833
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:55,820
(gate bell rings)
1834
01:39:59,820 --> 01:40:01,490
(gate opens)
1835
01:40:01,530 --> 01:40:03,170
Monsieur.
1836
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:03,860
Ah, Sister.
1837
01:40:09,810 --> 01:40:10,880
(gasp)
1838
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:12,350
What is the matter
with you?
1839
01:40:14,480 --> 01:40:15,900
Shall I tell you
something, Sister?
1840
01:40:16,540 --> 01:40:20,470
Yesterday, Friday, mind you,
I ate meat again.
1841
01:40:21,930 --> 01:40:23,000
Yes, I know.
1842
01:40:23,350 --> 01:40:25,080
That is why you
are so pale.
1843
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:27,930
Please come to me
to the refectory before you go.
1844
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,250
I'll make you a great
bowl of hot soup.
1845
01:40:30,280 --> 01:40:31,630
Of course, of course.
1846
01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:33,950
You're quite reasonable today.
1847
01:40:33,990 --> 01:40:36,120
Perhaps you'll convert me.
1848
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:38,260
Oh, no! Not for the world.
1849
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:40,690
Why, now I think of it,
that is so.
1850
01:40:41,070 --> 01:40:44,560
You, bursting with holiness,
and yet you never preach.
1851
01:40:45,470 --> 01:40:46,760
Astonishing.
1852
01:40:47,060 --> 01:40:49,100
And now I shall astonish you.
1853
01:40:49,690 --> 01:40:54,110
I'm going to let you
pray for me tonight, at Vespers.
1854
01:40:55,830 --> 01:40:58,700
Absolutely struck dumb, eh?
1855
01:41:02,550 --> 01:41:05,180
I did not wait for you
to say I might.
1856
01:41:14,930 --> 01:41:17,450
Now may the devil admire
me if never hope to see
1857
01:41:17,490 --> 01:41:19,570
the end of that embroidery.
1858
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:23,440
After 14 years,
late for the first time.
1859
01:41:23,480 --> 01:41:26,550
Yes.
Yes, maddening.
1860
01:41:27,330 --> 01:41:31,480
I was detained by
a visitor. Most unexpected.
1861
01:41:32,150 --> 01:41:33,660
An old friend of mine.
1862
01:41:34,540 --> 01:41:36,830
At least a very
old acquaintance.
1863
01:41:36,870 --> 01:41:38,320
Did you tell him
to go away?
1864
01:41:38,980 --> 01:41:40,410
For the time being, yes.
1865
01:41:40,440 --> 01:41:45,270
I said excuse me,
I see that it's Saturday,
1866
01:41:45,620 --> 01:41:48,200
I have a previous
engagement.
1867
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:49,620
One I cannot miss.
1868
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:52,340
Even for you.
1869
01:41:53,250 --> 01:41:55,310
Come back an hour from now.
1870
01:41:55,420 --> 01:41:59,170
Your friend will have to wait.
I shall not let you go till dark.
1871
01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:04,970
Perhaps a little before dark,
I must go.
1872
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:09,080
Oh, then tell me now
the court news. My Gazette.
1873
01:42:10,390 --> 01:42:14,190
Ah, yes, well, let me see.
1874
01:42:16,350 --> 01:42:20,840
Saturday, 19th, the King
fell ill after eight helpings of
1875
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:22,170
grape marmalade.
1876
01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:26,320
Grape marmalade will
no longer be served at court.
1877
01:42:28,190 --> 01:42:33,010
Sunday, the royal pulse
is now normal.
1878
01:42:34,630 --> 01:42:37,930
Monday, everyone was
talking about the success
1879
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:39,600
of Moliere's new play.
1880
01:42:40,830 --> 01:42:46,110
Tuesday, the King fell ill
after six helpings of marone glacee.
1881
01:42:47,910 --> 01:42:50,130
Marone glacee will no
longer be served at court.
1882
01:42:51,710 --> 01:42:55,700
Wednesday, the Compte de Firske
spoke to Madame de Monte Glas.
1883
01:42:56,500 --> 01:42:59,380
She said....no.
1884
01:43:01,480 --> 01:43:07,450
Thursday.... Nothing.
1885
01:43:07,490 --> 01:43:10,580
Friday, Madame de Monte Glas
said yes.
1886
01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:18,800
Saturday, 25th....
1887
01:43:19,450 --> 01:43:20,520
Cyrano!
1888
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:24,010
What is it?
Cyrano!
1889
01:43:28,660 --> 01:43:31,300
- Oh, no, no, it is nothing.
- What?
1890
01:43:31,750 --> 01:43:34,200
The old wound at Arras
sometimes...
1891
01:43:34,230 --> 01:43:36,980
- My poor friend.
- No, no, no, it is nothing.
1892
01:43:37,830 --> 01:43:39,350
It will soon be gone.
1893
01:43:41,010 --> 01:43:44,990
(gasp) There. 'Tis gone.
1894
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:48,480
We all have
our old wounds.
1895
01:43:49,020 --> 01:43:53,920
I have mine here,
under this faded scrap of writing.
1896
01:43:55,380 --> 01:43:57,340
It's hard to read now.
1897
01:43:58,370 --> 01:44:01,340
All for the blots
and tears.
1898
01:44:01,370 --> 01:44:02,560
His letter?
1899
01:44:03,480 --> 01:44:06,650
Did you not promise me,
that someday you would let me read it?
1900
01:44:07,090 --> 01:44:12,350
- This letter? You wish...?
- I do wish it....today.
1901
01:44:22,650 --> 01:44:24,230
Open it and read.
1902
01:44:49,700 --> 01:44:54,660
"Farewell, Roxane,
because today I die."
1903
01:44:54,690 --> 01:44:56,000
Aloud?
1904
01:44:57,180 --> 01:45:00,150
"I know that it will be today,
my own dearly beloved.
1905
01:45:01,630 --> 01:45:04,900
"Yet, my heart still so heavy
with love I have not told.
1906
01:45:06,440 --> 01:45:11,330
"And I shall die without telling you.
1907
01:45:11,900 --> 01:45:15,740
"No more shall my eyes
drink the sight of you like wine,
1908
01:45:16,230 --> 01:45:19,180
"never more with a look
that is a kiss,
1909
01:45:19,740 --> 01:45:22,430
"follow the sweet
grace of you."
1910
01:45:22,470 --> 01:45:24,400
How you read it.
His letter.
1911
01:45:24,440 --> 01:45:26,300
"I remember now the way you have
1912
01:45:26,340 --> 01:45:30,280
"of pushing back a lock of hair
with one hand from your forehead,
1913
01:45:30,860 --> 01:45:33,270
- "and my heart cries out..."
- His letter!
1914
01:45:33,310 --> 01:45:35,000
- "cries out and keeps crying."
1915
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:38,240
- You read it so...
- "Farewell, my dear, my dearest,"
1916
01:45:38,270 --> 01:45:40,650
- In a voice...
- "my own heart's own,"
1917
01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:44,230
- "my own treasure,"
- In such a voice!
- "my...love."
1918
01:45:44,260 --> 01:45:47,140
Yes, I remember hearing long ago.
1919
01:45:47,490 --> 01:45:52,210
"I am never away from you.
Even now I shall not leave you.
1920
01:45:53,110 --> 01:45:56,360
"In another world, I shall
still be that one who loves you,
1921
01:45:56,390 --> 01:46:00,110
"loves you beyond measure,
beyond..."
1922
01:46:09,180 --> 01:46:11,130
But, how can you read it now?
1923
01:46:14,420 --> 01:46:17,810
And all those 14 years
he has been the old friend
1924
01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:19,650
who came to me to be amusing.
1925
01:46:20,930 --> 01:46:23,170
- Roxane.
- It was you.
1926
01:46:23,910 --> 01:46:24,880
No, no, Roxane, no.
1927
01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:28,100
And I might have know it every time
that I heard you speak my name.
1928
01:46:28,130 --> 01:46:31,690
- No, it was not I.
- It was you!
- I swear.
1929
01:46:32,460 --> 01:46:34,810
- The letters. That was you.
- No.
1930
01:46:35,140 --> 01:46:38,960
- And the dear foolish words.
That was you.
- No.
1931
01:46:39,190 --> 01:46:43,290
- And the voice in the dark.
That was you.
- On my honor!
1932
01:46:43,330 --> 01:46:47,170
And the soul.
It was all you.
1933
01:46:47,270 --> 01:46:49,180
I never loved you.
1934
01:46:49,350 --> 01:46:50,850
Yes, you loved me.
1935
01:46:50,970 --> 01:46:52,740
Even now you love me.
1936
01:46:53,660 --> 01:46:55,610
(gasp)
No!
1937
01:46:55,650 --> 01:46:57,920
And twice you're great to know.
1938
01:46:57,950 --> 01:47:00,760
Oh, no, no, my own dear love,
I love you not.
1939
01:47:03,340 --> 01:47:05,840
Why were you silent
for so many years?
1940
01:47:06,580 --> 01:47:07,860
All the while.
1941
01:47:08,090 --> 01:47:11,110
Every night, and every day,
he gave me nothing.
1942
01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:13,120
You knew that.
1943
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:16,680
You knew in that letter
lying on my breast.
1944
01:47:17,940 --> 01:47:19,230
Your tears.
1945
01:47:20,580 --> 01:47:22,770
You knew they
were your tears.
1946
01:47:26,390 --> 01:47:28,270
The blood was his.
1947
01:47:29,370 --> 01:47:30,200
Cyrano!
1948
01:47:32,690 --> 01:47:34,320
Here! He's here.
1949
01:47:34,490 --> 01:47:36,270
Oh, what recklessness.
1950
01:47:36,310 --> 01:47:36,570
No.
1951
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:37,430
I knew it!
1952
01:47:37,490 --> 01:47:40,440
- Oh Madame he has killed
himself coming here.
- No. Shh.
1953
01:47:40,700 --> 01:47:42,220
That drink is, what is it?
1954
01:47:42,290 --> 01:47:45,510
Nothing. I did not
finish my Gazette.
1955
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:49,970
Saturday, 26th, an hour
or so before dinner
1956
01:47:50,540 --> 01:47:55,340
Ms. de Bergerac died,
foully murdered.
1957
01:47:55,690 --> 01:47:57,470
Cyrano, what have
they done to you?
1958
01:47:57,600 --> 01:47:59,540
How fate loves a jest.
1959
01:47:59,980 --> 01:48:03,000
Behold me ambushed,
taken unawares.
1960
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:08,830
My noble foe, a lackey.
My battlefield, a gutter.
1961
01:48:09,490 --> 01:48:10,950
It seems too logical.
1962
01:48:11,370 --> 01:48:13,040
They have missed everything,
1963
01:48:13,820 --> 01:48:15,290
even my death.
1964
01:48:16,330 --> 01:48:17,950
Sisters! Sisters!
1965
01:48:17,990 --> 01:48:21,350
No, do not go away.
I may not be here when you return.
1966
01:48:22,030 --> 01:48:23,760
You shall not die.
1967
01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:25,460
(sobbing)
I love you.
1968
01:48:25,490 --> 01:48:27,410
No, my lady,
it's not in the story.
1969
01:48:28,100 --> 01:48:29,900
When beauty said
I love you to the beast
1970
01:48:29,930 --> 01:48:32,990
all his ugliness changed
and dissolved, like magic.
1971
01:48:33,550 --> 01:48:37,370
But, you see,
I am still the same.
1972
01:48:37,440 --> 01:48:39,430
And I have
done this to you.
1973
01:48:39,470 --> 01:48:40,620
You? Why no.
1974
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:42,060
All my fault, mine!
1975
01:48:42,100 --> 01:48:43,320
On the contrary.
1976
01:48:44,060 --> 01:48:47,080
I have never know womanhood
in its sweetness, but for you.
1977
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:50,750
My mother did not
like to look at me.
1978
01:48:52,050 --> 01:48:53,530
I never had a sister.
1979
01:48:54,880 --> 01:49:01,130
Later, I feared those sweethearts
with mockery behind her smile.
1980
01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:06,150
But, because of you,
I have had across my life
1981
01:49:06,930 --> 01:49:10,600
one whispering, silken gown.
1982
01:49:12,780 --> 01:49:15,200
I never loved but
one man in my life.
1983
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:18,680
I have lost him, twice.
1984
01:49:19,660 --> 01:49:23,540
(sobbing)
1985
01:49:23,570 --> 01:49:27,890
I would not have you mourning
any less that good, noble Christian.
1986
01:49:28,980 --> 01:49:32,570
But, perhaps, I ask only this,
1987
01:49:34,100 --> 01:49:36,370
when the great cold
gathers around my bones,
1988
01:49:37,770 --> 01:49:42,590
you may give a double
meaning to your widow's weeds.
1989
01:49:43,910 --> 01:49:50,900
The tears you let fall for him,
may for a little, be my tears.
1990
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:53,040
Oh, my love!
1991
01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:58,400
No, not here.
Not lying down.
1992
01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:01,300
Let no one help me.
No one need help me.
1993
01:50:06,310 --> 01:50:07,430
It is coming.
1994
01:50:08,260 --> 01:50:11,460
I feel already shod with marble.
1995
01:50:12,720 --> 01:50:13,950
Gloved with lead.
1996
01:50:14,730 --> 01:50:16,700
Very well,
let the old fellow come now.
1997
01:50:17,190 --> 01:50:19,600
He shall find me
on my feet.
1998
01:50:21,670 --> 01:50:23,120
Sword in hand.
1999
01:50:23,160 --> 01:50:24,110
Cyrano!
2000
01:50:24,500 --> 01:50:25,890
He'd delirious.
2001
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:28,000
I see him now.
2002
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:28,700
He grins.
2003
01:50:28,740 --> 01:50:30,750
He is looking at my nose!
2004
01:50:30,790 --> 01:50:31,820
That skeleton.
2005
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:33,730
You there.
2006
01:50:33,970 --> 01:50:34,670
Who are you?
2007
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:36,950
A hundred against one, eh?
2008
01:50:37,300 --> 01:50:40,020
I know them now,
my ancient enemies.
2009
01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:40,960
Falsehood, there!
2010
01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:42,470
There, Prejudice!
2011
01:50:42,490 --> 01:50:44,100
Compromise, Cowardice.
2012
01:50:44,580 --> 01:50:47,160
What's that?
Surrender? No, never!
2013
01:50:47,190 --> 01:50:48,430
Never!
2014
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:50,820
Ah, you too, Vanity.
2015
01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:54,180
I knew you would
overthrow me in the end.
2016
01:50:54,210 --> 01:50:57,310
No, I fight, I fight on,
I fight....ow!
2017
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:01,000
(gasping)
2018
01:51:06,540 --> 01:51:08,550
All my laurels
you have riven away.
2019
01:51:10,290 --> 01:51:11,770
And my roses.
2020
01:51:12,940 --> 01:51:15,600
Yet, in spite of you,
there is one crown
2021
01:51:15,630 --> 01:51:16,980
I made away with me.
2022
01:51:17,020 --> 01:51:20,380
And tonight when I
enter before God,
2023
01:51:21,850 --> 01:51:27,140
my salute shall sweep away
the stars from the blue threshold.
2024
01:51:28,310 --> 01:51:33,240
One thing without stain,
unspotted from the world,
2025
01:51:34,240 --> 01:51:40,610
in spite of doom, mine own,
...and that is...
2026
01:51:43,220 --> 01:51:51,220
my...white...plume...

In seventeenth-century Paris, poet and supreme swordsman Cyrano de Bergerac (José Ferrer) stops a play from being shown because he ostensibly cannot stand the bombastic style of the principal actor, Montfleury (Arthur Blake). An annoyed aristocratic fop, the Vicomte de Valvert (Albert Cavens), provokes him into a duel by tritely insulting Cyrano's enormous nose. Cyrano first mocks his lack of wit, improvising numerous inventive ways in which Valvert could have phrased it (much to the amusement of the audience). He then composes a ballade for the occasion on the spot and recites it during the sword fight. With the last line, he stabs his opponent.
Cyrano's friend Le Bret (Morris Carnovsky), Captain of the Gascony Guards, warns him he has made powerful enemies of his victim's friends, but he is unconcerned. When Le Bret presses him to reveal the real reason he hates Montfleury, Cyrano admits that he became jealous when he saw the actor smiling at his beautiful cousin Roxane (Mala Powers). He confesses that he is in love with her, but harbors no hope of it being returned because of his nose. When he receives a request from Roxane to see her in the morning, he is finally emboldened to act.
Then pastry chef and fellow poet Ragueneau (Lloyd Corrigan) approaches him for help. Ragueneau has learned that a nobleman he had mocked with his verses, the Comte De Guiche (Ralph Clanton), has hired a hundred ruffians to teach him a lesson. Cyrano escorts him, kills eight of the horde, and drives off the rest.
The next day, before he can tell Roxane of his feelings, she informs him that she has fallen in love with a handsome guardsman, Christian de Neuvillette (William Prince), though she has not even spoken to him. Cyrano hides his devastation and agrees to help her.
Cyrano befriends the young man, who is in Cyrano's guards' unit, and discovers that he is infatuated with Roxane, but is too inept with words to woo her. To help him, Cyrano composes Christian's love letters to Roxane, which she finds irresistible. Later, Christian decides he wants no more help and tries to speak to Roxane face to face, but fails miserably and she re-enters her house in an angry huff. Cyrano, hiding in the bushes, comes to his rescue, but this time by imitating Christian's voice and speaking to Roxane from under her balcony. He is so eloquent that he (unintentionally) wins a kiss for Christian from Roxane.
When the arrogant Comte De Guiche, who is also wooing Roxane, pressures her to marry him, Cyrano delays him long enough for her to wed Christian instead. Furious, De Guiche, Christian's commander, orders him to join his unit immediately for a war against the Spanish, preventing the couple from spending their wedding night together.
With Cyrano under his command as well, De Guiche earns the swordsman's respect by his conduct in the war. From the field, Cyrano sends Roxane letters every day, supposedly written by Christian. Roxane visits her husband in camp and tells him that she now has fallen in love with him not merely for his looks but because of his words, and would love him even if he were ugly. Realizing that she really loves Cyrano, Christian gets his rival to agree to tell Roxane the truth and let her decide between them. But before the opportunity arises, Christian volunteers for a dangerous mission and is fatally wounded, silencing Cyrano.
Roxane enters a convent in mourning. Years pass, with Cyrano visiting Roxane weekly, having retired from the military and writing satirical articles mocking the nobility. De Guiche, who has also befriended her and has come to respect Cyrano, has overheard a courtier plotting against Cyrano. De Guiche warns Roxane that Cyrano's life may be in danger. One night, Cyrano is lured into an ambush; the poet is run down by a carriage. Near death, he hides his injuries and goes to keep his appointment with Roxane for the last time. His secret love for Roxane is finally revealed when he recites from memory the last of his love letters, which she has kept, but it is too late. Cyrano first slips into delirium, then dies, leaving Roxane to mourn a second time.

1
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,468
I know how you feel, lady.
2
00:01:52,545 --> 00:01:54,445
Just take your time
and tell me what happened.
3
00:01:54,514 --> 00:01:57,915
He had this meat ax, her blood all over it.
4
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:03,187
My brother-in-law had it.
Blood all over his hands, all over his shirt.
5
00:02:03,389 --> 00:02:05,687
I can't talk about it, Officer.
6
00:02:05,859 --> 00:02:08,851
I know it's rough, lady,
but I have to have the facts.
7
00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:14,298
He comes staggering out in the hall.
He says, "I did it. Call the cops."
8
00:02:15,101 --> 00:02:16,125
And then he...
9
00:02:16,202 --> 00:02:19,467
Snap it up, Captain.
Lieutenant Davis just blew in.
10
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,303
What's he going to do, Officer?
11
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:25,003
- I'm not a cop, lady.
- But you said...
12
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:27,610
All I said was,
"I had to ask you some questions."
13
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,079
I'm from the <i>Express.</i>
14
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:33,984
You made me go through all that.
Why, you're not decent! You're not human!
15
00:02:34,754 --> 00:02:38,121
- Sorry, lady. All part of the job.
- Well, well, Lieutenant Davis.
16
00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:42,252
- Say, this must have been a homicide.
- Hi, Lieutenant. Wait till you hear it.
17
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:45,092
- A messy one.
- You keep pulling stuff like this, McCleary,
18
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:50,193
and so help me, if it's the last thing I do,
I'll run you in! Now, that's a warning!
19
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:18,591
This is KL-75263. Get me Plaza-52099.
20
00:03:19,532 --> 00:03:24,401
You know, that wasn't a bad-Iooking dame.
Too bad the guy used an ax on her head.
21
00:03:25,271 --> 00:03:27,796
Spoiled some pretty pictures for me.
22
00:03:28,908 --> 00:03:31,877
Hey, Mark, have you put on the gloves
with those stockholders yet?
23
00:03:32,178 --> 00:03:34,203
Hi. No, I'm just taping up my hands.
24
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,976
<i>Well, you can tell them we got</i>
<i>another neat and gory one coming up.</i>
25
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:39,177
<i>Hatchet murder. Lower East Side tenement.</i>
26
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:41,652
<i>Wrapped up an exclusive interview</i>
<i>with an eyewitness.</i>
27
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:43,211
You got plenty of art?
28
00:03:43,289 --> 00:03:45,052
Yeah. Biddle grabbed all he could
of the body.
29
00:03:45,124 --> 00:03:49,185
A dame, very messy.
Got a great hysterical close-up of her sister.
30
00:03:49,529 --> 00:03:52,828
I'll even write the caption for you.
"I seen him with a bloody meat ax."
31
00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:54,592
Good. With that, I can sell papers.
32
00:03:54,667 --> 00:03:57,295
Give it to rewrite and we'll get it in the final.
Hold on. What do you want?
33
00:03:57,370 --> 00:04:00,237
Mr. Madison called down
from the boardroom again, Mr. Chapman.
34
00:04:00,306 --> 00:04:02,831
You hear that?
I'm letting them stew in their financial juices.
35
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:05,067
Well, don't overdo it. I like this job.
36
00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:08,273
You've never gone backwards
with me before, have you, kid?
37
00:04:08,348 --> 00:04:13,217
If we leave here, we'll bounce into
a bigger setup. I'll see you when you get in.
38
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:21,417
As one of the largest stockholders
in this corporation,
39
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:24,463
I would like to know
why the <i>New York Express,</i>
40
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:27,465
once a distinguished
and respected newspaper,
41
00:04:29,869 --> 00:04:33,600
has been allowed to become
a cheap and depraved publication.
42
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:38,835
Why has an editor been allowed
to turn a decent journal into this?
43
00:04:39,679 --> 00:04:41,613
A disgusting tabloid!
44
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,749
Pandering to the passions
of the base morons!
45
00:04:45,151 --> 00:04:47,847
I demand an explanation, Frank Madison.
46
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:54,750
Well, Mrs. Rawley, I...
In defense of Mark Chapman, I...
47
00:04:54,827 --> 00:04:58,263
Mr. Madison, I'd like to handle
my own defense, if you don't mind.
48
00:04:58,331 --> 00:04:59,855
Just as you say, Mark.
49
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:05,428
Mrs. Rawley, I think you
and the other stockholders should know
50
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:07,496
that your publisher hired me
as executive editor
51
00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:09,837
with full rights to transform this newspaper.
52
00:05:10,677 --> 00:05:14,443
He did this for a very simple reason.
He was fed up with operating at a loss.
53
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:18,611
Why did Mr. Madison hire me?
Well, he felt it was time that the <i>Express</i>
54
00:05:18,685 --> 00:05:21,745
buried its antiquated negative approach,
such as this.
55
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:25,756
But who won?
56
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:29,920
And become a positive newspaper.
We're in a business, ladies and gentlemen,
57
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:34,695
a business of satisfying the hunger
of the public for thrills, escape and news.
58
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:39,271
Here's where I took over
your highly respectable white elephant.
59
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:42,172
Instead of headlining a UN story,
we gave them a vice story.
60
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:44,368
Obviously, they went for it.
61
00:05:44,544 --> 00:05:46,239
We played down
the presidential appointments
62
00:05:46,312 --> 00:05:48,644
and concentrated
on the "Gorilla Man" killings.
63
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:51,576
Here's what happened.
Thirty or forty thousand new readers.
64
00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:54,245
Why, in a year, circulation's up over 110%.
65
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,686
And when we reach 750,000,
66
00:05:56,756 --> 00:06:00,886
we'll have to pay you a big bonus.
I'm not sure I like this at all.
67
00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:02,761
Did you like the dividend check
you got last month
68
00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:04,194
for the first time in 12 years?
69
00:06:04,263 --> 00:06:07,323
I don't like this, sir.
What kind of journalism is this?
70
00:06:07,967 --> 00:06:10,026
A newspaper
staging a cheap, vulgar display
71
00:06:10,103 --> 00:06:13,266
in order to attract
the stupid slobs of the city!
72
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,865
The thousands who will attend
the Lonely Heart dance tonight,
73
00:06:15,942 --> 00:06:18,467
these poor, friendly, unhappy people
whom you call stupid slobs,
74
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:20,569
buy and read this newspaper.
75
00:06:20,646 --> 00:06:22,944
Their loyalty helped put that dividend check
in your pocket.
76
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:26,712
And I suppose you think it's a public service
when one of your reporters is arrested
77
00:06:26,786 --> 00:06:30,745
for withholding information from the police?
Or whatever it was.
78
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:34,150
This, what's his name, McCleary person,
79
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,352
and the things he writes about!
I think he should be fired!
80
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:39,295
This McCleary person
is the best young reporter I've seen
81
00:06:39,365 --> 00:06:41,060
in 25 years of newspapering.
82
00:06:41,134 --> 00:06:43,193
Before I'll fire him,
I'll throw the <i>Express</i> up for grabs
83
00:06:43,269 --> 00:06:45,669
and go to work for somebody
who appreciates real talent on a paper!
84
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:47,262
- Mark, I'm sure...
- One last thing.
85
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:50,798
The only contract I have here is a handshake
between Mr. Madison and myself.
86
00:06:50,877 --> 00:06:53,141
Now, unless you give me full rights
to run this paper the way I want,
87
00:06:53,212 --> 00:06:55,271
I'll quit after the final edition today.
88
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:58,784
Now, I'm sorry I can't stay with you
any longer. I have a newspaper to get out!
89
00:07:06,092 --> 00:07:10,426
- Your story ready, Miss Allison?
- I'll have the rest in a minute, Joey.
90
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:13,831
Mr. Chapman?
91
00:07:16,502 --> 00:07:17,696
Thanks.
92
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:26,937
McCleary story in yet, Bax?
93
00:07:32,485 --> 00:07:34,885
How'd you make out in the torture chamber?
94
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:40,450
This is good. Give it a big play.
Mac'll do a byline follow-up tomorrow.
95
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:43,825
- What are these?
- Pics for that Lonely Heart spread.
96
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:45,820
- Junk them.
- But I...
97
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:47,092
Take Peters off the Lonely Hearts.
98
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:48,997
He's photographing these slobs
like a lineup in a soup kitchen
99
00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:50,660
instead of panting for a red-hot romance.
100
00:07:50,736 --> 00:07:52,533
- Okay. But I...
- Yeah?
101
00:07:52,939 --> 00:07:54,566
Yes, Mr. Madison.
102
00:07:58,211 --> 00:08:00,611
- Get an ax, smear it with blood.
- Yeah? Whose?
103
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,171
Yours. If you can't spare any,
use chocolate syrup or something.
104
00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:07,652
Chocolate? Goody! When I'm through,
I can make a plate of fudge. Drop in.
105
00:08:08,721 --> 00:08:12,157
So, you still insist a woman having 20 kids
is worth a feature article?
106
00:08:12,225 --> 00:08:15,422
Hi, genius.
I think it's worth a whole front page.
107
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:18,391
It scares me, this maternal instinct of yours.
108
00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:20,955
Decided where you're taking me
to dinner tonight?
109
00:08:23,736 --> 00:08:25,966
If Chapman hasn't been canned,
110
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,169
you're going to dine with the worst loser
who ever paid off a bet.
111
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:31,608
Then you'd better stash some
bicarbonate soda in your bag, princess.
112
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:32,837
You're gonna need it.
113
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:35,437
Don't count your steaks
before you hear the sizzle.
114
00:08:37,617 --> 00:08:39,608
Well, what's the word? Are you ex or still?
115
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,880
They're not dumb enough
to throw out a winner.
116
00:08:41,954 --> 00:08:44,650
Congratulations. I knew you'd stick
their stocks right back in their teeth.
117
00:08:44,724 --> 00:08:46,555
I told them if they fired me,
McCleary would quit, too,
118
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:49,060
and then they'd be in real trouble.
119
00:08:49,128 --> 00:08:50,527
I wouldn't put it past them
to try and dump you
120
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:53,929
to get out of paying the bonus that's
staring them right in their glassy eyes.
121
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,331
I've got news for you.
122
00:08:55,401 --> 00:08:57,528
I'm going to cut you in
for a piece of that bonus.
123
00:08:57,603 --> 00:08:59,298
What do you want me to do, retire?
124
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:00,566
I thought we could make a deal with Madison
125
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,698
to buy some of the company's stock.
126
00:09:01,774 --> 00:09:03,901
You know, kid,
we could end up owning this newspaper.
127
00:09:03,976 --> 00:09:06,536
- Well, that's the best offer I've had all week.
- I'll make you another one.
128
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:09,080
I'll take you to dinner tonight.
You pick the spot.
129
00:09:10,349 --> 00:09:14,012
I'll make you a better offer.
My date's buying. She lost a bet.
130
00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:17,544
The Grand Duchess from Vassar again?
The way I feel, I can put up with anything.
131
00:09:17,623 --> 00:09:19,818
- I'm more worried, can she put up with you?
- Get her ready.
132
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:24,124
We've got to be at the ballroom at 8:00.
There's no time for nose powder.
133
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:32,597
Don't break your ears with that grin.
I can see. He's still in.
134
00:09:33,005 --> 00:09:36,532
- No loud whoops of joy, baby?
- Well, I tried everything.
135
00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:39,770
I crossed my fingers,
said prayers, burned candles.
136
00:09:39,845 --> 00:09:43,713
- Who's your tailor, princess?
- Let's get out of here.
137
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,075
I've had to look at that Chapman face all day.
138
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:50,714
I've got to cover his fiasco tonight
and suffer some more.
139
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:53,987
At least just looking at you for an hour
will be a welcome change.
140
00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:57,496
- Lf you're taking me to dinner, let's go.
- Taking him?
141
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,195
Wait a minute.
Our bet was between you and me.
142
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:03,463
Our bet was loser buys dinner.
We didn't say for how many.
143
00:10:03,536 --> 00:10:06,994
- Why, you double-crossing...
- I knew you'd be a good loser.
144
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:10,807
Someday remind me to tell you about girls.
145
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:20,248
You talk a couple of these suckers
into getting married.
146
00:10:20,319 --> 00:10:21,581
These Lonely Heart slobs got the gimmies,
147
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:23,519
and we've got plenty to give them
from the advertisers.
148
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:25,284
If you talk one couple
into getting married by 9:00,
149
00:10:25,358 --> 00:10:27,883
by 12:00 we'll have a dozen lined up
for wedded bliss.
150
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,155
- McCleary, the Brooklyn cupid.
- McCleary, the human yes man.
151
00:10:30,229 --> 00:10:31,594
Hey, Julie!
152
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:34,155
- Hello, Charlie.
- Charlie.
153
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:38,225
- How are you, Barnes?
- Fine, Mark. You're looking fit. McCleary.
154
00:10:38,571 --> 00:10:39,595
Thank you.
155
00:10:39,672 --> 00:10:41,799
What goes on? Are you ghosting
Allison's features, Charlie?
156
00:10:41,874 --> 00:10:43,774
No, he's helping me with research
for that series
157
00:10:43,843 --> 00:10:45,640
on historical monuments in New York.
158
00:10:45,711 --> 00:10:47,872
You couldn't pick a better man.
I ought to know.
159
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:50,006
Remember those old days, Mark?
160
00:10:50,082 --> 00:10:53,813
Like the time I cut the phone cables
at the Lindbergh trial?
161
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:55,520
You scooped me. Almost cost me my job.
162
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:59,957
Scooped you, the wire services,
scooped everybody. That was the year...
163
00:11:00,026 --> 00:11:02,358
That was the year you won the Pulitzer Prize.
164
00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:06,826
Listen, Mark.
This stuff I've been doing for Julie, it's...
165
00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:13,200
- Mark, I think I'm ready to go back to work.
- That's fine. I'm glad to hear it, Charlie.
166
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,164
How about it, Mark? How about a job?
167
00:11:19,645 --> 00:11:21,510
- Why not?
- Thanks.
168
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:25,447
- Charlie, I'm so proud of you!
- This is gonna take a little juggling.
169
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:26,849
I won't be able to do anything right away.
170
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:28,978
Look, Charlie, I'll call you.
We're late, we gotta rush.
171
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:31,785
Sure, Mark, I know how it is,
always on the go.
172
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:35,258
- Coffee in the morning? Skinners?
- Sure thing, Julie.
173
00:11:40,199 --> 00:11:41,257
All the time I thought you were a...
174
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:43,699
- How much did you give him?
- $10. He earned it.
175
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:44,929
Ten bucks?
176
00:11:45,004 --> 00:11:47,336
- Buy a lot of whiskey.
- Did you see that rum-dumb?
177
00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:49,806
- Come midnight, he'll be in the gutter.
- Now, wait a minute.
178
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:51,274
He's an alky, Julie.
You shouldn't give an alky
179
00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:52,367
more than a buck at a time.
180
00:11:52,445 --> 00:11:55,414
You're liable to kill him.
Ten bucks, he can take a bath in it.
181
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:58,314
But... Well, this job
will change everything for him.
182
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:01,319
Job? I wouldn't have him in my office,
let alone on my staff.
183
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:04,117
In you go, sucker. Where are you going?
184
00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:07,085
I'm not going to let him go off believing this.
185
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:10,617
- Do you want to break his heart?
- Do I? What do you think you're doing?
186
00:12:10,696 --> 00:12:13,358
I'm giving him hopes and dreams.
A rummy like that lives on dreams.
187
00:12:13,432 --> 00:12:17,061
- He's happy. Why spoil it?
- Happy? Happy like your Lonely Hearts,
188
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,798
looking forward to those big romances
they've been promised?
189
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:23,069
- Only Charlie's romance is with a bottle.
- Get in.
190
00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:48,057
Biddle, don't leave that camera at half mast.
Stop goldbricking on the other guys.
191
00:12:48,134 --> 00:12:52,127
I must have got 100 shots already,
Mr. Chapman. My arm's giving out.
192
00:12:52,204 --> 00:12:56,334
You've only started. I want shots of people
from every state. Now start shooting.
193
00:12:58,911 --> 00:13:01,038
How are you doing, princess?
194
00:13:01,147 --> 00:13:04,116
Well, it's an effort,
but I'm trying to keep from screaming.
195
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:06,981
You were a real bundle of laughs
during dinner, too.
196
00:13:07,052 --> 00:13:08,781
Why don't you simmer down now?
197
00:13:08,854 --> 00:13:10,515
You're not so pretty
when your feathers are all ruffled.
198
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:13,183
Don't, Steve. I'm in no mood for levity.
199
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:17,491
- Do you feel like dancing?
- Do you figure that'll smooth my feathers?
200
00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:21,691
I've got a great idea for you. Grab yourself
one of these Lonely Heart boys.
201
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:25,066
Tell him you're a club date. Con him.
Get his life history.
202
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:28,903
- And there's your feature for tomorrow.
- Mark Chapman, Junior.
203
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:31,568
It'll sell papers, you left that out.
204
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:34,871
Happy hunting, cupid.
Mustn't let the boss down.
205
00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:38,312
Save at least one dance for me, princess.
206
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:58,034
Every time I aim my lens
at one of these walking zombies,
207
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:01,334
I think of the time
I covered the Miss America contest.
208
00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:03,705
The tears almost start to flow.
209
00:14:06,378 --> 00:14:09,370
From McCleary, you get nothing but service.
Ten minutes before 9:00,
210
00:14:09,448 --> 00:14:13,179
and couple number one. Mary and Joe
met in front of the Arkansas booth.
211
00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:16,221
It was love at first sight, almost. Right?
212
00:14:16,288 --> 00:14:20,349
Well, sure. I'm from Texas,
but I sure love that Arkansas cooking.
213
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,890
- You love her, don't you?
- Well, sure, I reckon so.
214
00:14:23,963 --> 00:14:26,158
- Mary, you love him?
- Yes.
215
00:14:26,966 --> 00:14:31,130
- See, they're crazy about each other.
- Yeah, that's fine. Hey, Edwards.
216
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:33,535
We've got a romance going here.
They're ready for the orange blossoms.
217
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,837
- Well, how do you do? And congratulations.
- Save the teeth for the bandstand.
218
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:38,171
Get up there
and make the big announcement.
219
00:14:38,244 --> 00:14:42,044
Yes, sir, Mr. Chapman.
Come with me, you lucky, lucky people.
220
00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:46,842
Hey, you ain't gonna forget about the bed
with the built-in television set?
221
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:48,614
You'll spend your honeymoon in front of it.
222
00:14:51,624 --> 00:14:55,321
- Nice going, Steve, keep punching.
- I'll get the camera boys up to cover it.
223
00:14:57,129 --> 00:15:01,862
- Did you find a feature to write about yet?
- I haven't, and I don't intend to.
224
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:05,435
This bribing of poor, ignorant dopes
into a public wedding
225
00:15:05,504 --> 00:15:07,665
is cheap, cruel and disgusting.
226
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:10,573
This whole Wild West show is ridiculous,
and I want no part of it.
227
00:15:10,643 --> 00:15:13,305
Miss Allison,
your contract has six months to run.
228
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:17,281
My contract was made with Mr. Madison
before you took over the <i>Express.</i>
229
00:15:17,349 --> 00:15:18,543
If you don't like the way I run the paper,
230
00:15:18,617 --> 00:15:21,245
I have an agreement
that might be satisfactory to both of us.
231
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,811
Take six months' vacation with pay!
232
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:30,286
No, thank you, Mr. Chapman. I'll work it out.
I like my feature writing.
233
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,898
Thinking people like it, too,
234
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:37,561
even though there aren't many of them
buying the <i>Express</i> anymore. Good night!
235
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:43,605
That's it.
236
00:15:50,382 --> 00:15:53,613
<i>Friends, brothers and sisters</i>
<i>in the Lonely Hearts Club.</i>
237
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:55,677
<i>I have wonderful news for you,</i>
238
00:15:55,754 --> 00:15:59,747
<i>living proof that this magnificent club</i>
<i>is more than just a name.</i>
239
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:04,386
<i>But first, how would you like to meet</i>
<i>the great man who created your club?</i>
240
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:11,998
<i>Mr. Mark Chapman,</i>
<i>editor of the</i> New York Express.
241
00:16:12,071 --> 00:16:14,665
<i>Put the spotlight on him, over there!</i>
242
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,782
<i>Now here's the wonderful news.</i>
243
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:37,056
<i>Meet Mary and Joe, two happy people</i>
<i>who came here tonight as total strangers.</i>
244
00:16:37,463 --> 00:16:42,400
<i>They met, they danced, they found love.</i>
<i>They're going to get married!</i>
245
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,474
George?
246
00:16:57,516 --> 00:17:00,041
<i>- As the first couple who fell in love tonight...</i>
- George Grant!
247
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:01,814
<i>...Mary and Joe will receive...</i>
- It is you!
248
00:17:01,887 --> 00:17:03,752
<i>...compliments of the</i> Express...
- Charlotte.
249
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:05,119
<i>... a wedding night in a New York hotel...</i>
250
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:08,921
Finding you here...
I was so sure that you must be dead.
251
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:11,759
George Grant is dead.
252
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:14,259
Yes, I just heard.
253
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,134
- You're the...
- We can't talk here.
254
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:19,901
We can talk at my place, George.
255
00:17:20,806 --> 00:17:23,036
We've got a lot to talk about.
256
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:26,509
Go on out. I'll meet you at the side entrance.
257
00:17:32,785 --> 00:17:35,151
The years have been kinder to you.
258
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:38,621
What is it, 19, 20?
I used to keep track, but I don't...
259
00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:41,716
What's the difference?
Now that you found me, what do you want?
260
00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:57,401
May I?
261
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:07,375
- Come on, quit stalling around.
- What was it they called you at the ball?
262
00:18:07,453 --> 00:18:08,977
- Mark?
- Chapman.
263
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:15,755
When did you change your name, George?
Right after you left me?
264
00:18:17,062 --> 00:18:18,962
So I wouldn't find you?
265
00:18:19,631 --> 00:18:21,292
You knew I was so crazy about you
266
00:18:21,366 --> 00:18:24,028
I'd look and look and look,
didn't you, George?
267
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,697
Come on, get to it. What do you want?
268
00:18:27,739 --> 00:18:32,574
You're still in a hurry, aren't you?
That's the thing I remember best about you.
269
00:18:32,878 --> 00:18:37,645
The fellow who always ran and never walked.
Had to get places fast!
270
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,749
And you got places, didn't you, George?
271
00:18:44,323 --> 00:18:46,883
Here, you need some money?
Here's some for now.
272
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,860
Money? The payoff, George?
273
00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:54,497
How much? How much for each year?
274
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:58,633
How much for the agony
and the heartbreak and the fear?
275
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:03,141
- Charlotte, cut the ham act.
- This could be for the doctor bill, see?
276
00:19:06,578 --> 00:19:10,173
I was 20 years younger then,
took things more seriously.
277
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:14,142
I can't imagine how much.
278
00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:18,087
You're boring me now, like you always did.
279
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:20,388
People always bored you
280
00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:23,155
when you didn't have
any more use for them, didn't they, George?
281
00:19:23,228 --> 00:19:25,025
Bores and nuisances, I get rid of them.
282
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:27,497
Yeah, the same gentle way
you got rid of me.
283
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:28,692
My lawyer will get in touch with you.
284
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:31,702
He'll arrange a quiet divorce
and generous alimony.
285
00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:34,671
You're an important man now,
aren't you, George?
286
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:37,038
Editor of the <i>New York Express.</i>
287
00:19:38,977 --> 00:19:43,346
I never thought I'd be the wife of the editor
of a big New York newspaper.
288
00:19:43,415 --> 00:19:47,112
You're not, and don't get any ideas
about forcing yourself.
289
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:51,020
You've got nothing to gain by refusing me
a divorce now like you did 20 years ago.
290
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:56,759
I was young then and so foolishly in love.
I wanted so much to hold onto you.
291
00:19:57,496 --> 00:20:00,021
I made all of my mistakes when I was young,
and you were the biggest one.
292
00:20:00,098 --> 00:20:02,794
I fell for an attractive hunk of flesh.
293
00:20:04,169 --> 00:20:07,627
"Hold me." You didn't try to hang on.
You strangled me.
294
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,936
I'd smother to death with you.
295
00:20:15,747 --> 00:20:19,808
Turnabout's fair play.
When you walked out on me, I died inside.
296
00:20:20,352 --> 00:20:23,116
When I walk out of here, you're gonna die.
297
00:20:23,188 --> 00:20:27,852
Everything you worked for, grabbed for,
ruined people to get, it's all gonna die!
298
00:20:27,926 --> 00:20:29,393
You're a neurotic screwball!
299
00:20:29,461 --> 00:20:33,955
I'm gonna spread your story all over town.
Mark Chapman, the great editor!
300
00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:37,829
Wife deserter!
Living under a false name for 20 years.
301
00:20:39,137 --> 00:20:42,334
What else did you cover up
living under a phony name?
302
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:44,637
Your publishers are gonna love this.
303
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:49,044
And the other papers, they'll cut you
to ribbons with this information!
304
00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,470
Hi, honey, let me have the city room.
305
00:23:33,812 --> 00:23:37,179
This is Elkins.
If you need me, I'm over in Skinners.
306
00:23:38,316 --> 00:23:41,808
What? Having breakfast. Yeah, breakfast.
307
00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:53,323
Yes, Julie, after that fortunate
and historical meeting with Mark yesterday,
308
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:57,629
I had considerable difficulty
wooing the fickle Morpheus.
309
00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:01,939
That explains it.
Those bleeding eyes today.
310
00:24:02,474 --> 00:24:05,341
Well, I did have a couple
with the boys down below.
311
00:24:05,410 --> 00:24:08,277
A sort of celebration, and then farewell.
312
00:24:11,049 --> 00:24:13,574
You should have left them long ago, Charlie.
313
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:15,916
Any man who was big enough
in his day to rate that,
314
00:24:16,555 --> 00:24:20,389
a place in Skinner's Hall of Fame,
is still too big for Dead-End Street.
315
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:25,028
No regrets, Julie. My temporary alliance
with the denizens of the Bowery
316
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:29,863
has provided me with a deeper insight
into the whys and wherefores of mankind.
317
00:24:35,674 --> 00:24:38,006
A proven medical fact,
when the human system
318
00:24:38,076 --> 00:24:40,840
has been lengthily nurtured
on alcoholic stimulants,
319
00:24:40,912 --> 00:24:44,871
any abrupt cessation of same
will result in a negative reaction.
320
00:24:45,016 --> 00:24:46,381
Absolutely.
321
00:24:47,652 --> 00:24:52,385
But I'm tapering off. I'll be a firmly-rooted
passenger on the old water wagon
322
00:24:52,524 --> 00:24:54,856
by the time Mark's ready for me.
323
00:24:57,295 --> 00:25:01,561
Charlie, don't bet everything
on Mark Chapman.
324
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:06,666
He won't let me down.
First time I felt ready, I asked him for a job,
325
00:25:06,938 --> 00:25:10,032
and what happened?
He offered me one, didn't he?
326
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:15,173
- Mr. Lonely Heart.
- Compliments of the <i>Express,</i> Myrtle.
327
00:25:15,747 --> 00:25:18,545
- I see you read. You stick with the radio.
- Yeah.
328
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:20,744
Hey, McCleary,
I read that rag of yours by accident.
329
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:23,287
Yeah, me, too.
From ax murder to Ionely hearts.
330
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:25,653
What are you trying to prove,
you're versatile or something?
331
00:25:25,724 --> 00:25:27,885
What are you gentlemen
reading our rag for?
332
00:25:27,959 --> 00:25:30,427
Trying to find out
what's happening that's news?
333
00:25:30,495 --> 00:25:32,929
Good morning, kiddies. What's the word?
334
00:25:35,066 --> 00:25:36,624
Silly, that's the word.
335
00:25:36,701 --> 00:25:38,635
Still a heaping bunch of joy,
aren't you, princess?
336
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:43,663
Lonely Hearts Ball. Journalism has certainly
changed since the old days.
337
00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:47,302
What happened to you last night?
Pulled a fast fade on me.
338
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:50,712
- Don't tell me you actually missed me?
- I needed protection.
339
00:25:50,782 --> 00:25:53,250
Some of our love-hungry subscribers
got mixed up.
340
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:56,014
They were offering me deep-freezes
and vacuum cleaners.
341
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:59,318
- I'm surprised you refused.
- How do you know I did?
342
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:02,849
Certainly heavy coverage
on the unrequited passion set.
343
00:26:03,261 --> 00:26:06,924
Our love and romance edition, Charlie.
Even the crossword puzzle.
344
00:26:06,998 --> 00:26:08,966
But nothing from the Allison corner.
345
00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:12,335
Not interested in romance, Julie?
346
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:16,465
Not the kind that blossoms
on free gas stoves and television sets.
347
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:21,235
- About that Lonely Heart gag, I've got a...
- Steve, on the radio.
348
00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:27,652
- Julie. Hi, Charlie.
- Hi, Biddle.
349
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:31,086
Police call. Dead dame in a flat
on Third Avenue. Are you interested?
350
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:33,090
Well, she'd probably be a cheerful change.
351
00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:36,685
I'm still getting the icebox treatment
from the female on my left.
352
00:26:36,761 --> 00:26:40,162
After them scarecrows I shot last night,
I figure my luck's gotta change.
353
00:26:40,231 --> 00:26:43,428
Even dead, this dame's bound
to have more glamour.
354
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:45,467
Let's give her a look.
355
00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:48,801
Thanks for the coffee, kitten.
356
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:03,785
Another scarecrow. I'm batting goose eggs.
357
00:27:05,323 --> 00:27:07,848
Dames have got to make trouble
even when they die, don't they, pal?
358
00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:11,384
Yeah, water downstairs and water upstairs.
359
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:14,531
Probably wanted a room
with a swimming pool.
360
00:27:14,966 --> 00:27:16,866
Hey, Davis, what are you doing here?
361
00:27:16,935 --> 00:27:21,031
I just wanted to see if I couldn't get
to one of our calls before you did.
362
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:22,471
This isn't a homicide?
363
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:24,531
We got a new man
on the beat here, McCleary.
364
00:27:24,609 --> 00:27:26,167
He's built like you between the ears.
365
00:27:26,244 --> 00:27:29,975
He saw a hole in the back of the dame's head
and figured she was slugged.
366
00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:31,515
What's your guess, Lieutenant?
367
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:33,949
She put the hole
in the back of her head herself?
368
00:27:34,019 --> 00:27:36,783
Yeah, wise-eyes, that's it. That's it exactly.
369
00:27:36,855 --> 00:27:40,291
She slipped in the tub
and opened her skull on a faucet.
370
00:27:40,358 --> 00:27:43,953
- What was the lady's name, Sherlock?
- The landlady says Jane Jones.
371
00:27:44,029 --> 00:27:45,360
- Do you believe it?
- Yeah, I believe it.
372
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:47,762
I'm fresh out of nursery school.
373
00:27:48,466 --> 00:27:52,402
Jane Jones, alias Jane Doe.
Say, Dave, you're really humming.
374
00:27:53,204 --> 00:27:56,401
Look, nuisance, if you so much as make
these bedsprings squeak once again,
375
00:27:56,474 --> 00:28:00,308
- I'll throw you in the tub with the dame.
- Lieutenant, please.
376
00:28:04,616 --> 00:28:08,177
You're wrong, Dave.
She was murdered. Clear as your head.
377
00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:10,347
Murdered for her money.
378
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:13,949
Why, this lady must have spent easily
six or seven dollars a year on clothes.
379
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:15,492
Why don't you go home, McCleary?
380
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,462
There's nothing around here
to interest a big newsman like you.
381
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:27,827
Look, junior, keep your nose
in your own business, or I'll run you in
382
00:28:27,906 --> 00:28:31,137
- for obstruction, suspicion and vagrancy.
- Why, sure, Dave.
383
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:33,837
I just thought there might be something
in here to help identify her.
384
00:28:33,912 --> 00:28:35,243
No suitcase, huh?
385
00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:41,715
- In there, boys.
- Okay, Steve, I got all I need.
386
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:46,957
Thanks, Dave.
387
00:28:49,127 --> 00:28:52,062
- No, not you two again.
- What do you guys do,
388
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:54,758
smell these things
before the police call is even in?
389
00:28:54,833 --> 00:28:57,301
Try to forget your mugs.
There's a lady in the bathroom.
390
00:28:57,368 --> 00:29:00,531
- Yes, so knock before entering.
- Coming through.
391
00:29:10,381 --> 00:29:12,406
- What'd you pinch that for?
- Look familiar?
392
00:29:12,484 --> 00:29:15,544
I had them in front of me all night, didn't I?
393
00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:18,747
Hey, that's off a Lonely Hearts badge!
394
00:29:18,823 --> 00:29:22,554
Yeah. How many pictures
did you and the boys take at the ball?
395
00:29:22,627 --> 00:29:24,925
Three, maybe four hundred. I don't know.
396
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:27,260
Rush the print of Miss Bathtub
through the lab.
397
00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:28,594
Then check it against the others.
398
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:30,964
- See if you can match them up, okay?
- Sure.
399
00:29:31,035 --> 00:29:34,937
- Shouldn't take more than a week.
- Yeah, but I want it done in an hour.
400
00:29:35,006 --> 00:29:36,701
- I'll see you at the office.
- Where are you going?
401
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:39,903
I'm gonna hitch a ride to the morgue.
If you match them, call me.
402
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,674
How about a ride to the morgue, Pete?
403
00:30:04,969 --> 00:30:07,096
Hey, Needle Nellie, anybody home?
404
00:30:07,172 --> 00:30:08,662
Hey, handsome.
405
00:30:09,007 --> 00:30:11,271
- How you doing, sweetheart?
- Doing all right, handsome.
406
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:13,037
Come here and give us a kiss.
407
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,815
- How's business at the morgue, Nellie?
- Dead.
408
00:30:19,551 --> 00:30:21,178
Business is dead.
409
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:25,621
- It's good to see you, handsome.
- Likewise, sweetheart.
410
00:30:25,690 --> 00:30:27,385
A long time between dates.
411
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:30,621
But right now,
I come seeking your expert female advice.
412
00:30:30,695 --> 00:30:34,131
Anybody that's lived as long as me
can give it. Shoot.
413
00:30:34,732 --> 00:30:37,565
Nellie, if you had just one dress
to your name
414
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:39,535
and you'd fastened something onto it
with a safety pin,
415
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:40,969
and maybe you were in a hurry,
416
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,008
would you take time to undo the pin,
or would you rip the whole thing off?
417
00:30:44,075 --> 00:30:46,305
- This is a riddle?
- No, seriously.
418
00:30:46,377 --> 00:30:51,041
Well, if I had 10 dresses and the house
was burning down, I'd still undo the pin.
419
00:30:51,115 --> 00:30:52,639
Any lady would.
420
00:30:53,017 --> 00:30:55,485
That's what I figured.
I just wanted a woman to confirm it.
421
00:30:55,553 --> 00:30:57,453
I love you, Nellie. I love you.
422
00:30:57,522 --> 00:31:00,047
- Where you going, handsome?
- I gotta see the doc.
423
00:31:00,124 --> 00:31:01,955
Maybe I can get you some business, Nellie.
424
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:11,364
Did you get those ringside ducats
I sent you?
425
00:31:11,436 --> 00:31:13,427
Steve! Yeah, it was a great fight.
426
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:15,438
Mishke really tore that Haybelly apart,
didn't he?
427
00:31:15,506 --> 00:31:19,840
Had so much blood spattered on my glasses,
I missed the knockout punch.
428
00:31:20,478 --> 00:31:24,175
Look, Doc,
they just brought in an accidental death.
429
00:31:24,249 --> 00:31:27,047
- They're putting her in the freezer right now.
- So?
430
00:31:27,118 --> 00:31:30,110
So, I'd like you to give her
the onceover for me. An autopsy.
431
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:33,646
Accidents are out of my province.
You know that, Steve.
432
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:35,383
It's going to be
a great World Series this year.
433
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:37,087
Yeah, that it is.
434
00:31:37,528 --> 00:31:41,362
I don't suppose you'd be interested
in viewing the festivities from a box seat?
435
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:47,132
Are you trying to bribe a city official?
436
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:51,135
Right behind first base, Doc.
437
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:11,028
Yeah. Yeah, get some prints ready.
I think we've got our front page.
438
00:32:11,095 --> 00:32:14,792
Well, this is your lucky day. Drop back,
I want you to mark my racing form.
439
00:32:14,866 --> 00:32:16,766
Get the door, will you?
440
00:32:17,368 --> 00:32:20,064
Yeah, and don't forget, I smoke cigars.
441
00:32:20,838 --> 00:32:24,831
- Hey, Steve, let me wipe those off a little.
- Wipe them tomorrow.
442
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:32,008
Will you smile again
if I take you to dinner tonight?
443
00:32:32,083 --> 00:32:34,847
- A little celebration coming up.
- What's the celebration?
444
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:37,649
Another McCleary scoop.
Getting monotonous, isn't it?
445
00:32:37,722 --> 00:32:42,557
That dinner. A two-party celebration,
or are you bringing a friend?
446
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:44,559
Just you and me alone.
447
00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:47,825
I'll smile again.
What are the fragile treasures?
448
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:52,060
Very rare items.
Pictures of a dame with her mouth shut.
449
00:32:53,071 --> 00:32:55,972
- Joey, catch the door, will you?
- All right.
450
00:32:58,676 --> 00:33:01,270
I've been waiting a long time
for a chance to say this.
451
00:33:01,346 --> 00:33:03,439
- Stop the presses!
- Did you get a morning-after story
452
00:33:03,514 --> 00:33:05,004
on any of those couples
we married last night?
453
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:07,483
I got a story from one
of the Lonely Heart Ball guests, all right.
454
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:11,079
But she didn't get married last night.
She got murdered!
455
00:33:19,964 --> 00:33:23,263
- Who is she?
- A Jane Doe. Nobody knows her real name.
456
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:25,996
The police think she slipped in the bathtub
and bashed her head in,
457
00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:30,507
- or they did until a little while ago.
- But you knew better all the time?
458
00:33:30,575 --> 00:33:32,941
After Doc O'Hanlon got through
cutting her up for me.
459
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:36,538
She died between 9:00 and 12:00 last night,
before she went under in the tub.
460
00:33:36,614 --> 00:33:38,479
No water in her lungs.
461
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:40,283
Did he find anything else?
462
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:44,788
Yeah, her killer was a man, middle-aged,
fair complexion. Had brown hair.
463
00:33:45,390 --> 00:33:47,620
O'Hanlon found that
in scraping under her fingernails.
464
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:50,593
You ran into this
just by playing a hunch, huh?
465
00:33:50,661 --> 00:33:53,858
A string from a Lonely Heart badge
was on her dress in the closet.
466
00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:57,628
The badge had been torn off.
I followed through from there.
467
00:34:00,371 --> 00:34:04,364
Well, is this a story,
this Lonely Heart murdered after the ball?
468
00:34:04,575 --> 00:34:06,805
Can you sell papers with this?
469
00:34:10,248 --> 00:34:13,342
Baxter, Jordan, Allison,
get in here right away.
470
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:15,477
They didn't know her name, you said?
471
00:34:15,553 --> 00:34:18,920
Well, she called herself Jane Jones.
How phony can you get?
472
00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:20,014
We've just been struck by lightning.
473
00:34:20,091 --> 00:34:22,025
It's a great follow-up
for the Lonely Hearts Ball.
474
00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:24,118
Tell them about it, Steve.
475
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:30,997
We'll call her Miss Lonely Heart,
no other name. Alone in the city, friendless.
476
00:34:31,536 --> 00:34:34,801
She went to our shindig last night,
hunting for a soul mate.
477
00:34:34,872 --> 00:34:37,363
Maybe she found one, the wrong one.
478
00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:39,872
Anyway, she left early,
and sometime before midnight
479
00:34:39,944 --> 00:34:41,343
she was beaten to death in her room
480
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:44,540
by a brown-haired, middle-aged man
of fair complexion.
481
00:34:44,615 --> 00:34:46,480
A smash follow-up is right.
482
00:34:46,551 --> 00:34:49,247
The killer had a head full of brains.
Good nerves.
483
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,723
He lugged her to the bathroom,
stripped her, tossed the body in the tub.
484
00:34:54,459 --> 00:34:58,520
No. No, he stood the body in the tub.
Aimed, let go!
485
00:34:58,696 --> 00:35:03,190
Bang, her head cracks the faucet.
Almost perfect crime. Ordinary accident.
486
00:35:04,035 --> 00:35:06,936
He's working smartly,
a guy with imagination.
487
00:35:07,004 --> 00:35:10,963
He takes her slip, stockings,
washes them, hangs them up to dry.
488
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,000
He wipes his prints off everywhere.
489
00:35:13,077 --> 00:35:16,274
He starts getting rid of anything
that could identify her.
490
00:35:16,347 --> 00:35:18,907
He took a ring off her,
probably a wedding or engagement ring.
491
00:35:18,983 --> 00:35:22,111
- How do you know that?
- Whitish circle, third finger, left hand.
492
00:35:22,186 --> 00:35:25,587
- O'Hanlon spotted it at the morgue.
- All right, go on, go on.
493
00:35:25,656 --> 00:35:27,954
Well, he grabs any other personal items
that might identify her
494
00:35:28,025 --> 00:35:29,856
and throws them in her suitcase and blows.
495
00:35:29,927 --> 00:35:32,361
- How do you know she's got a suitcase?
- Every dame's got a suitcase.
496
00:35:32,430 --> 00:35:34,022
But there wasn't one
in Miss Lonely Heart's room.
497
00:35:34,098 --> 00:35:35,861
This'll kick up the circulation.
498
00:35:36,701 --> 00:35:40,137
We can make the 5:00 edition exclusive.
Steve can do the lead story.
499
00:35:40,204 --> 00:35:42,263
Jordan, I want three column cuts
of the dame's picture at the ball
500
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:44,433
and the murder photo.
Allison, write me a sob story,
501
00:35:44,509 --> 00:35:46,568
"Miss Lonely Heart
won't be Ionely anymore."
502
00:35:46,644 --> 00:35:47,736
Fine job, Steve.
503
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,303
Sure, it's a great job,
but we're gonna top it.
504
00:35:50,381 --> 00:35:51,439
How?
505
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,513
- Bury her.
- Bury her?
506
00:35:57,555 --> 00:35:59,682
The best story I ever dug up, and he tops it.
507
00:35:59,757 --> 00:36:02,157
By 5:00 tonight, Miss Lonely Heart
will be selling newspapers for us
508
00:36:02,226 --> 00:36:05,923
on every street corner in Manhattan.
Now, go on, get going.
509
00:37:42,126 --> 00:37:43,787
Be seeing you, Humpty.
510
00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:31,269
Look, I've shown you everything in the shop.
That's the last one I've got!
511
00:38:35,513 --> 00:38:36,605
Mark!
512
00:38:39,283 --> 00:38:41,217
- Mark, old boy!
- How are you, Charlie.
513
00:38:41,285 --> 00:38:45,085
What distasteful mission brings you to this
unholy neighborhood, Mark, my friend?
514
00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:46,589
I'm just looking around.
I like to keep my hand in,
515
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,124
even though I am strapped
to a desk right now.
516
00:38:48,192 --> 00:38:50,126
You wouldn't mean you're keeping
your hand in by working
517
00:38:50,194 --> 00:38:51,821
on this Lonely Heart murder,
would you, now, Mark?
518
00:38:51,896 --> 00:38:53,955
I've got a staff to take care of that for me.
519
00:38:54,031 --> 00:38:56,727
You can't kid an old newshound
like me, Mark.
520
00:38:56,801 --> 00:39:00,999
Still following our old formula,
first check the hock shops for a clue?
521
00:39:01,072 --> 00:39:03,336
Didn't wanna tip your hand
to those cops in there, did you?
522
00:39:03,407 --> 00:39:05,637
I tell you I'm not down here on business.
Now stop playing hawkshaw!
523
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:08,770
Let me show you Charlie Barnes
still has the master's touch
524
00:39:08,846 --> 00:39:11,713
- when it comes to following up a lead, Mark.
- Tell me about it later, will you,
525
00:39:11,782 --> 00:39:15,684
- when you come back to work for me?
- You're afraid I'll get drunk and tip the story.
526
00:39:15,753 --> 00:39:18,881
- I'm tapering off, Mark.
- That's fine, Charlie. I'll call you.
527
00:39:18,956 --> 00:39:23,825
Let me work this with you, Mark. I know
this whole district from gutter to rum-heads.
528
00:39:23,894 --> 00:39:26,226
Pete in the pawnshop's
an honored friend of mine.
529
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:27,992
- Yeah.
- I can get him to work with me and...
530
00:39:28,065 --> 00:39:30,898
- Hello, Charlie!
- Go away.
531
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:35,400
- Here, Charlie, here's something to count.
- I don't want a handout, Mark.
532
00:39:35,473 --> 00:39:37,498
- I want to work.
- You can pay me later. I'll call you, Charlie.
533
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:39,338
Mark, let me help...
534
00:40:13,544 --> 00:40:14,704
Hang onto them, Pete.
535
00:40:14,779 --> 00:40:17,873
We'll drop back payday
and look them over again.
536
00:40:25,022 --> 00:40:26,489
Them guys should wear glasses.
537
00:40:26,557 --> 00:40:29,185
They do so much looking,
but never no buying.
538
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:31,125
Get this for me, Pete.
539
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:34,356
Taking something out for a change
instead of putting it in, Charlie?
540
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:37,526
I admit to the novelty of the occasion, Peter.
541
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:50,109
- Hey, you didn't hock this with me.
- Doing a favor for a friend.
542
00:40:52,082 --> 00:40:56,178
Them cops. You know, if someday
they should buy something from me, I'd...
543
00:40:56,253 --> 00:40:59,620
No, that'd be bad. I'd drop dead.
544
00:41:02,226 --> 00:41:06,185
You know, Charlie, I ought to be
in some other kind of business.
545
00:41:06,697 --> 00:41:10,497
You really meet a very poor class of people
in this business.
546
00:41:10,768 --> 00:41:13,259
Not meaning anything personal,
you understand.
547
00:41:13,337 --> 00:41:16,773
But I'm always dealing with people
who are in trouble,
548
00:41:17,274 --> 00:41:21,608
people who gotta hock something.
People who gotta buy something cheap.
549
00:41:24,582 --> 00:41:28,109
I don't like cheap things.
I never did and I never will.
550
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:34,356
I should have been big fur man, maybe,
or big jewelry man.
551
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,651
Then I could deal with rich people.
552
00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:42,554
That's the kind of people
I really prefer to deal with.
553
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:47,694
- Hey! How much is on this ticket?
- Two bucks.
554
00:41:58,249 --> 00:41:59,841
Here, sign here.
555
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:08,424
You know, sometimes they say
even the rich people aren't happy.
556
00:42:08,492 --> 00:42:11,017
But how that could be, I don't know.
557
00:42:12,296 --> 00:42:15,857
Thank you, Peter.
Thank you for being in business!
558
00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:21,433
Thank you very much.
559
00:42:33,517 --> 00:42:35,041
A shot, Heeney.
560
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:38,614
You look like your blood pressure's boiling,
Charlie. What's the matter?
561
00:42:38,689 --> 00:42:40,680
The classic irony of the age, Heeney.
562
00:42:40,758 --> 00:42:43,659
Charlie Barnes, a stewbum,
rocking the newspaper world
563
00:42:43,727 --> 00:42:46,457
like he never did in all his sober days.
564
00:43:00,411 --> 00:43:02,208
- Composing.
- Yes, sir.
565
00:43:04,481 --> 00:43:07,712
Yes. Yes, madam,
I have two answers for you.
566
00:43:08,185 --> 00:43:11,313
First, you shouldn't talk
to strange men in bars.
567
00:43:11,388 --> 00:43:13,982
Second, because he asked you to marry him
568
00:43:14,058 --> 00:43:16,356
then hit you with a pretzel dish
when you refused
569
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:19,191
isn't conclusive proof
he's our Lonely Heart Killer,
570
00:43:19,263 --> 00:43:21,697
but thanks for calling, lady. Bye.
571
00:43:23,334 --> 00:43:26,326
Phony or not,
those tips belong to the police.
572
00:43:26,704 --> 00:43:30,299
When are you going to get rid of the idea
you're wearing an invisible badge?
573
00:43:30,374 --> 00:43:34,140
Julie Allison. Hello, Charlie. How are you?
574
00:43:36,714 --> 00:43:38,181
The Lonely Heart murder?
575
00:43:38,248 --> 00:43:42,844
And you've got to meet me right away.
We have to figure out how to handle this.
576
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,514
I know the killer, and it's dynamite.
577
00:43:46,757 --> 00:43:48,952
Well, Charlie,
that story is really Steve McCleary's.
578
00:43:49,026 --> 00:43:52,587
- I think you'd better talk to...
- No, no, Julie, I want you to have this.
579
00:43:52,663 --> 00:43:55,393
Now I can repay you, Julie child,
for everything.
580
00:43:55,466 --> 00:43:59,596
Julie, this is so... It's so tremendous,
it'll put both of us on top.
581
00:44:02,272 --> 00:44:04,035
What? What, Julie?
582
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:08,835
Okay, okay, both of you meet me.
583
00:44:08,912 --> 00:44:11,540
Maybe we will need
somebody like McCleary.
584
00:44:11,615 --> 00:44:14,175
Steve, Charlie says
he has information on the murder.
585
00:44:14,251 --> 00:44:18,654
- He's awfully excited about something.
- About two quarts full, probably.
586
00:44:19,890 --> 00:44:21,881
Yeah, Charlie, what's up?
587
00:44:22,726 --> 00:44:25,695
I wanted Julie to have this,
but she insists you be on in it.
588
00:44:25,763 --> 00:44:27,663
I mean you be in on it.
589
00:44:27,965 --> 00:44:30,297
- What's the matter, Charlie?
- No.
590
00:44:31,368 --> 00:44:34,462
- What? You're not sore, are you?
- No, go away!
591
00:44:36,006 --> 00:44:38,099
What? What have I got?
592
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:40,939
I've got the Lonely Heart Killer for you,
that's what!
593
00:44:41,011 --> 00:44:44,777
Gee, Charlie, that's great.
You getting him crocked so he'll confess?
594
00:44:44,848 --> 00:44:48,807
I haven't got him. I know who he is.
595
00:44:54,858 --> 00:44:55,950
What?
596
00:44:59,563 --> 00:45:03,465
Yes, I'm in a saloon.
I'm in Heeney's. But I'm not drunk.
597
00:45:04,034 --> 00:45:07,128
I've just taken the hottest story
of the century out of hock, and I'm gonna...
598
00:45:08,038 --> 00:45:11,064
He's really flying tonight.
See what your 10 bucks did?
599
00:45:11,141 --> 00:45:15,009
Stop treating him like some
weak-minded child. Listen to what he's got.
600
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:19,482
- He's not this excited for nothing.
- You know what he's got? The DTs.
601
00:45:19,616 --> 00:45:21,675
Charlie Barnes, tanked to the eyeballs,
602
00:45:21,752 --> 00:45:24,880
says he just took the Lonely Heart
murder solution out of hock.
603
00:45:26,056 --> 00:45:29,583
Hello, Charlie?
Still there? Let's start all over again.
604
00:45:30,294 --> 00:45:34,788
Listen, you mental midget. The only reason
I'm calling the <i>Express</i> is Julie Allison.
605
00:45:34,865 --> 00:45:37,732
Before I'd give this story
to an insolent young pup like you,
606
00:45:37,801 --> 00:45:39,792
I'd take it to the <i>Daily Leader!</i>
607
00:45:39,870 --> 00:45:42,304
Charlie's mad now.
Gonna sell it to the <i>Leader.</i>
608
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:46,069
- Hang up on the drunken slob.
- Julie? She just left.
609
00:45:46,477 --> 00:45:48,570
I guess we'll just have to read your story
in the <i>Leader</i> tomorrow.
610
00:45:48,645 --> 00:45:50,772
- So long, pal.
- Give me that.
611
00:45:51,815 --> 00:45:53,077
- Hello? Hello?
- Don't be silly, Julie.
612
00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:55,141
He'll just keep you up all night
listening to his fairytales.
613
00:45:55,219 --> 00:45:59,349
- Where was he calling from?
- Bellevue psycho ward, I think he said.
614
00:46:00,257 --> 00:46:01,747
Your 10 bucks.
615
00:47:13,697 --> 00:47:15,460
- Keep this for me, Heeney.
- Why, sure, Charlie.
616
00:47:15,532 --> 00:47:17,056
A couple hours.
617
00:47:17,868 --> 00:47:20,359
One more, Heeney. One for the road.
618
00:48:05,215 --> 00:48:06,739
Hello, Charlie.
619
00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:13,617
Mark. I thought you were still down
at the Bowery.
620
00:48:15,692 --> 00:48:18,024
I hear you got a story, Charlie.
621
00:48:18,195 --> 00:48:20,060
Where'd you hear that?
622
00:48:20,597 --> 00:48:25,364
- Isn't that what you told McCleary?
- Why, I was just schmoozing him, I...
623
00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:28,295
Lining him up for a little touch.
624
00:48:28,372 --> 00:48:31,432
I gave you some money.
What did you do with it?
625
00:48:31,775 --> 00:48:33,333
You didn't, by any chance,
find a pawn ticket
626
00:48:33,410 --> 00:48:36,379
- mixed in with the money, did you, Charlie?
- Pawn ticket? Why, I...
627
00:48:36,446 --> 00:48:40,177
Did you use the money
to get the story out of hock, Charlie?
628
00:48:41,218 --> 00:48:44,585
You've got something that belongs to me.
Where is it?
629
00:48:45,389 --> 00:48:47,220
You were on the way to the <i>Leader</i>
with some evidence.
630
00:48:47,291 --> 00:48:49,725
Where is it, Charlie? Where is it?
631
00:49:01,905 --> 00:49:04,738
It's a wonderful story, isn't it, Charlie?
632
00:49:05,509 --> 00:49:07,909
You wanted to be a big man, Mark.
633
00:49:08,745 --> 00:49:12,476
This will make you famous
beyond your most ambitious dreams.
634
00:49:13,884 --> 00:49:18,412
Great story?
I've waited all my life for a story like this.
635
00:49:19,456 --> 00:49:23,483
Well, you've got it, Charlie.
But you're not going to write it.
636
00:49:27,130 --> 00:49:30,622
You're crazy, Mark.
Twenty years you've covered the news.
637
00:49:30,701 --> 00:49:33,761
Seen the bright boys try this. It never works.
638
00:49:56,493 --> 00:49:59,587
We just heard about Charlie Barnes.
Rotten deal.
639
00:50:00,163 --> 00:50:04,293
It's hard when it's someone like Charlie
you've known for 22 years.
640
00:50:04,401 --> 00:50:06,164
I knew him 25 years.
641
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:10,167
I never expected to see him
laying on a slab in this place.
642
00:50:10,507 --> 00:50:15,001
Is that right, Doc? Was he found
in an alleyway across from the <i>Daily Leader?</i>
643
00:50:15,078 --> 00:50:17,205
- Steve...
- Yes, that's right.
644
00:50:17,447 --> 00:50:20,439
The <i>Daily Leader.</i> He had a story!
645
00:50:20,517 --> 00:50:23,509
But he was taking your clever,
insolent, fresh-guy advice
646
00:50:23,587 --> 00:50:27,216
- and giving it to the <i>Leader!</i>
- He was drunk, Julie. How could I know...
647
00:50:27,290 --> 00:50:29,656
Charlie Barnes never got so drunk
he didn't know a story!
648
00:50:29,726 --> 00:50:33,492
Or that he'd try to peddle
a phony tip to a newspaper! But you...
649
00:50:33,563 --> 00:50:35,394
You couldn't bother listening to him!
650
00:50:35,465 --> 00:50:38,798
You and that newsprint hero of yours,
Mark Chapman.
651
00:50:39,269 --> 00:50:41,032
You couldn't expect us to believe
that Charlie Barnes
652
00:50:41,104 --> 00:50:43,129
had any real information
on the murder, Julie.
653
00:50:43,206 --> 00:50:45,231
We still don't know that he did.
654
00:50:45,308 --> 00:50:49,711
If you and that stone-hearted, glory seeking,
"I am the great Mark Chapman"
655
00:50:49,780 --> 00:50:51,771
had thrown Charlie
the miserable crumb of respect
656
00:50:51,848 --> 00:50:54,510
of just listening to him, he'd be alive today!
657
00:50:54,584 --> 00:50:58,748
Julie, maybe you're right.
Maybe it is partly my fault Charlie's dead.
658
00:50:58,822 --> 00:51:01,882
I'm sorry. Really sorry. But what can I do?
659
00:51:02,392 --> 00:51:06,123
Don't go soft! Show Chapman
you're a chip off the old block.
660
00:51:06,596 --> 00:51:08,655
Have him give Charlie a fancy funeral.
661
00:51:08,732 --> 00:51:11,997
Great headline.
"The <i>Express</i> buries its cast-offs."
662
00:51:12,436 --> 00:51:14,097
It'll sell papers!
663
00:51:27,350 --> 00:51:31,912
Kenny, rewrite that one paragraph, will you?
Allison had a bad night. Yeah.
664
00:51:32,289 --> 00:51:35,087
I just got yesterday's figures
from circulation, Mark.
665
00:51:35,158 --> 00:51:38,491
Six hundred and ninety-six thousand.
You're moving up there.
666
00:51:38,562 --> 00:51:41,292
Looks as though it's going to cost
the <i>Express</i> some bonus money before long.
667
00:51:41,364 --> 00:51:44,765
Quicker than you can say,
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Stockholder Rawley!"
668
00:51:44,835 --> 00:51:46,666
We're only starting,
Mr. Madison, only starting.
669
00:51:46,736 --> 00:51:48,260
That's the spirit!
670
00:51:48,338 --> 00:51:50,272
When you get to the editor's chair,
remember one thing.
671
00:51:50,340 --> 00:51:54,743
You're a hero with a lifetime job,
as long as the circulation is rising.
672
00:51:55,045 --> 00:51:59,379
- What have you got there?
- Something that will keep circulation rising.
673
00:51:59,716 --> 00:52:01,581
Charlie Barnes' story.
674
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:04,378
What are you talking about?
675
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:06,820
Charlie wasn't near the <i>Daily Leader</i>
by accident, Mark.
676
00:52:06,890 --> 00:52:08,790
He had something to print.
677
00:52:08,859 --> 00:52:11,419
I couldn't find it in his effects
at the morgue this morning,
678
00:52:11,495 --> 00:52:15,932
but I found it at Heeney's bar,
the joint Charlie phoned from last night.
679
00:52:16,233 --> 00:52:19,134
Half a pawnshop ticket was still on the bag.
680
00:52:19,236 --> 00:52:21,431
Pete's Hock Shop. I checked it.
681
00:52:21,505 --> 00:52:24,838
Charlie came in the pawnshop last night
with a claim check.
682
00:52:24,908 --> 00:52:27,536
Said he was unhocking it for a friend.
683
00:52:28,478 --> 00:52:31,743
Well, what's in the bag?
Miss Lonely Heart's name and address?
684
00:52:32,916 --> 00:52:36,477
Better than that, Mark.
Much better than that.
685
00:52:38,054 --> 00:52:40,579
A picture of the guy who killed her.
686
00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:52,362
A picture?
You can't even see the guy's face!
687
00:52:52,435 --> 00:52:54,596
What's the matter, Mark?
This is the first real lead we've got.
688
00:52:54,671 --> 00:52:56,263
The way you talked,
I thought we had it all sewed up.
689
00:52:56,339 --> 00:52:59,604
Sure, it's a lead, but it's a thin one.
How much does this give us?
690
00:52:59,676 --> 00:53:04,773
Well, we're certain the dame had a husband.
They were married in 1931 in Connecticut.
691
00:53:05,248 --> 00:53:09,048
- The husband's the guy who killed her.
- How do you make that?
692
00:53:09,419 --> 00:53:11,580
The ring mark on her finger
must have been a wedding ring.
693
00:53:11,655 --> 00:53:14,055
The inscription inside
could have identified him.
694
00:53:14,124 --> 00:53:16,388
And he grabbed the pawn ticket
figuring she'd hocked some belongings
695
00:53:16,459 --> 00:53:18,893
- that might peg him.
- Makes sense.
696
00:53:19,396 --> 00:53:22,194
Charlie got the pawn ticket from the killer.
697
00:53:22,265 --> 00:53:25,701
He must have been with him sometime,
someplace, yesterday.
698
00:53:25,769 --> 00:53:28,329
A lot of people
could have seen them together, right?
699
00:53:28,405 --> 00:53:29,770
Could have.
700
00:53:31,141 --> 00:53:33,609
Splash this picture
on the front page tonight.
701
00:53:33,677 --> 00:53:35,975
Offer a reward for information.
702
00:53:39,149 --> 00:53:41,674
"Lonely Heart Killer strikes again."
703
00:53:43,153 --> 00:53:45,246
When you write the story,
say that Barnes was working on this case
704
00:53:45,322 --> 00:53:46,346
undercover for the <i>Express.</i>
705
00:53:46,423 --> 00:53:49,620
He got too close to the killer
and died in the line of duty.
706
00:53:49,693 --> 00:53:50,887
Mark, I don't know, it...
707
00:53:50,961 --> 00:53:54,863
Nobody can deny it. It'll help sell papers.
We'll offer $1,000.
708
00:53:55,232 --> 00:53:58,360
Look, kid, don't pin your hopes
on anybody being able
709
00:53:58,435 --> 00:54:02,030
to spot the guy from this.
Unless they got x-ray eyes.
710
00:54:02,339 --> 00:54:04,034
I'm sure Charlie connected
the guy in the picture
711
00:54:04,107 --> 00:54:08,601
with the bird who gave him the pawn ticket.
I'm going to fine-tooth the Bowery myself.
712
00:54:08,678 --> 00:54:11,374
It's even money
that's where Charlie ran into our man.
713
00:54:11,448 --> 00:54:12,972
Good luck, kid.
714
00:54:44,314 --> 00:54:47,875
- Well, I got them for you, McCleary.
- Good work, Heeney.
715
00:55:05,368 --> 00:55:09,634
Well, this does it. I'll never touch
another drop the rest of my life.
716
00:55:17,547 --> 00:55:19,515
'Course some of them
been sucking on the bottle all night,
717
00:55:19,582 --> 00:55:21,516
but they can still stand up.
718
00:55:21,584 --> 00:55:24,747
- They all knew Charlie?
- Yeah, they all knew him.
719
00:55:25,088 --> 00:55:29,081
If you give McCleary here
any bum information, I'll brain you.
720
00:55:29,793 --> 00:55:31,818
And I might even do worse.
721
00:55:31,961 --> 00:55:35,522
No more free shots
when you're seeing little red spiders.
722
00:55:35,999 --> 00:55:40,095
How many of you boys saw Charlie Barnes
the day he was killed? Raise your hands.
723
00:55:40,170 --> 00:55:44,197
All right, raise your mitts,
them that seen Charlie day before yesterday.
724
00:55:44,274 --> 00:55:45,366
Good.
725
00:55:48,478 --> 00:55:50,446
- Where did you see him?
- See who?
726
00:55:50,513 --> 00:55:54,279
- This guy must be used to talking to mirrors.
- Charlie Barnes.
727
00:55:54,351 --> 00:55:58,253
I seen him come out of a joint
where he flopped in the morning.
728
00:56:00,824 --> 00:56:02,815
You, where'd you see him?
729
00:56:03,460 --> 00:56:05,826
- Humpty O'Dougal's saloon.
- What time?
730
00:56:05,895 --> 00:56:10,389
In the afternoon. Late in the afternoon.
Charlie had a nice little bun on.
731
00:56:10,934 --> 00:56:11,992
Was he with anybody?
732
00:56:12,068 --> 00:56:14,036
With anybody?
Sure, he was with somebody.
733
00:56:14,104 --> 00:56:16,834
Charlie never drank by himself
if he had a little cash on him.
734
00:56:16,906 --> 00:56:19,966
- Well, do you know the guy he was with?
- Certainly I know who he was with.
735
00:56:20,043 --> 00:56:23,206
- Well, who was it?
- Me. He sprung me three slugs.
736
00:56:29,686 --> 00:56:32,678
When did you see him?
When did you see him?
737
00:56:36,159 --> 00:56:38,491
- This morning.
- Throw him out of here.
738
00:56:38,561 --> 00:56:41,086
- Wait a minute!
- What are you talking about?
739
00:56:41,164 --> 00:56:44,691
- Now, is there any more jokers in the crowd?
- I seen him.
740
00:56:45,735 --> 00:56:49,136
Yeah? Well, go on. Where'd you see him?
741
00:56:51,074 --> 00:56:53,770
On the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
742
00:56:53,843 --> 00:56:57,472
- Go on, go on.
- Nothing. He was working a sucker.
743
00:56:58,014 --> 00:57:01,177
- Giving him the pally act, that's all.
- Now think hard.
744
00:57:01,251 --> 00:57:04,243
Do you remember the sucker?
Do you remember what he looks like?
745
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,754
- Maybe.
- What do you mean, "Maybe"?
746
00:57:06,890 --> 00:57:10,826
- Maybe for 50 bucks.
- Why you...
747
00:57:11,995 --> 00:57:15,362
Do you think you could remember
for 1,000 bucks?
748
00:57:17,267 --> 00:57:19,258
Who could tell who he is?
749
00:57:19,469 --> 00:57:22,461
Can you describe
the man you saw Charlie with?
750
00:57:22,906 --> 00:57:26,273
Do I get $1,000 if I do?
751
00:57:26,443 --> 00:57:28,968
You do. If and when we find the guy.
752
00:57:29,379 --> 00:57:32,212
- Sure, I can describe him.
- Well, go ahead.
753
00:57:34,918 --> 00:57:37,819
- You paying the reward?
- No, but my boss is.
754
00:57:38,655 --> 00:57:41,647
- Then I'll describe it to him.
- Okay. Come on.
755
00:57:41,791 --> 00:57:44,385
Rush this over to the composing room.
756
00:57:44,761 --> 00:57:48,492
Kenny, see if you can figure out
a heading for that rubbish.
757
00:57:48,698 --> 00:57:50,723
Connie! Connie, take this.
758
00:57:58,475 --> 00:57:59,806
Wait here.
759
00:58:13,623 --> 00:58:15,318
Look, Lieutenant,
just refer the captain to me.
760
00:58:15,391 --> 00:58:18,189
I'll tell him he's cropping at the best
homicide man he ever had on the force.
761
00:58:18,261 --> 00:58:20,491
If he doesn't know that,
he's deaf, dumb and blind.
762
00:58:20,563 --> 00:58:22,861
Yeah, never mind the malarkey, Chapman!
763
00:58:22,932 --> 00:58:24,900
The next time
you people pull a stunt like this,
764
00:58:24,968 --> 00:58:27,596
I'll throw both you and McCleary in the can!
765
00:58:28,271 --> 00:58:31,832
Okay, Lieutenant, okay.
I give you my word. Goodbye, pal.
766
00:58:33,042 --> 00:58:35,340
Davis is screaming because we gave him
the suitcase only a half hour
767
00:58:35,411 --> 00:58:36,878
before he read it in the <i>Express.</i>
768
00:58:36,946 --> 00:58:39,437
Well, I've got something
that ought to make him happy again.
769
00:58:39,516 --> 00:58:40,744
Not another suitcase?
770
00:58:40,817 --> 00:58:44,776
A guy who can identify the man
Charlie got the pawn ticket from.
771
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:51,384
Hey, Bailey. Come in here.
772
00:59:00,103 --> 00:59:03,561
He wouldn't describe the guy to me.
He needed the boss.
773
00:59:06,643 --> 00:59:08,304
You the boss?
774
00:59:09,379 --> 00:59:13,611
Yeah, and don't waste my time.
Where'd you see this guy with Charlie?
775
00:59:15,818 --> 00:59:18,446
Down the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
776
00:59:19,956 --> 00:59:22,151
You say you can describe him?
777
00:59:41,844 --> 00:59:44,335
Well, go on. What did he look like?
778
00:59:54,057 --> 00:59:55,786
Stand up, will you?
779
01:00:04,467 --> 01:00:07,766
Yeah, just how I figured.
780
01:00:08,805 --> 01:00:10,432
You figured what?
781
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,272
He was your size,
782
01:00:17,313 --> 01:00:18,678
your build.
783
01:00:19,115 --> 01:00:21,345
Could have been as old as you.
784
01:00:21,951 --> 01:00:26,217
- Is that all?
- All you asked me was to describe him.
785
01:00:26,723 --> 01:00:30,625
That was no description!
That could fit a million guys in this town.
786
01:00:30,693 --> 01:00:34,060
- Even me.
- Well, how about the reward?
787
01:00:34,130 --> 01:00:38,123
Here, take this down to the cashier
and pick yourself up five bucks.
788
01:00:38,201 --> 01:00:41,261
- Show him where it is, Steve.
- Come on, Bailey.
789
01:01:30,186 --> 01:01:31,517
Hey, Baxter, where's Julie?
790
01:01:31,587 --> 01:01:34,078
She came in this morning,
banged this out on her typewriter,
791
01:01:34,157 --> 01:01:36,216
and told me to give it to Chapman.
792
01:01:36,292 --> 01:01:38,385
- What is it?
- Her resignation.
793
01:01:38,461 --> 01:01:42,261
I figured I'd hang onto it a day or so.
Maybe she'd cool off.
794
01:01:42,632 --> 01:01:46,261
I'm sure glad you did.
I'll take care of it for you, okay?
795
01:01:49,238 --> 01:01:50,762
Baxter, thanks.
796
01:02:00,883 --> 01:02:03,647
- Hello, Mrs. Allison.
- Well, hello, Steve. Come in.
797
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,051
Thank you.
798
01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:14,458
I have a pot of coffee in the kitchen.
I'd better see to it.
799
01:02:14,664 --> 01:02:16,564
Can I say a few words to you?
800
01:02:16,632 --> 01:02:19,533
Without getting hit with a table
or something?
801
01:02:19,602 --> 01:02:22,230
Speak your piece and get it over with.
802
01:02:22,338 --> 01:02:25,535
I just got rocked
with a bad piece of news, Julie.
803
01:02:25,742 --> 01:02:28,040
I heard about your resignation.
804
01:02:28,444 --> 01:02:31,845
Well, I can't imagine
why you'd shed any tears over it.
805
01:02:31,914 --> 01:02:33,211
Well, for what it's worth,
806
01:02:33,282 --> 01:02:36,308
your resigning knocks the props
out of a lot of things for me.
807
01:02:37,754 --> 01:02:40,655
That couldn't have come
from Steve McCleary.
808
01:02:41,791 --> 01:02:44,851
Okay, pass it. But I didn't figure
your burn at Chapman and me
809
01:02:44,927 --> 01:02:48,454
would be bigger than your wanting
to do something about Charlie's murder.
810
01:02:49,632 --> 01:02:52,829
Don't start playing me
for a hollow-headed female now, Steve.
811
01:02:52,902 --> 01:02:55,871
Your only interest, and Chapman's,
in Charlie's death is exploiting it
812
01:02:55,938 --> 01:02:59,601
- for all the circulation jumping it's worth!
- Julie, I'm not digging on a story now
813
01:02:59,675 --> 01:03:03,577
just for the school-boy bang of seeing
my name over a sensational yarn.
814
01:03:03,646 --> 01:03:06,672
Yeah, that's right, I had to get hit pretty hard
before I smartened up.
815
01:03:06,749 --> 01:03:09,309
But now I'm leveling
on the Charlie Barnes business.
816
01:03:13,422 --> 01:03:18,257
Well, if I can believe what I'm hearing,
this certainly is a different McCleary.
817
01:03:19,328 --> 01:03:20,955
I've been working night and day.
818
01:03:21,030 --> 01:03:24,227
All I've done is run the local leads
to a dead end.
819
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:29,294
There's only one gimmick left to follow.
This picture, the marriage in Connecticut.
820
01:03:29,472 --> 01:03:33,067
It's odd the person who married them
hasn't recognized it.
821
01:03:33,142 --> 01:03:36,077
Unless he's dead or hasn't seen the picture.
822
01:03:36,579 --> 01:03:40,310
Yeah, I thought of that angle, too.
But it's a million-to-one shot.
823
01:03:40,383 --> 01:03:43,716
A guy would have to be an elephant
to remember a face after 21 years.
824
01:03:44,787 --> 01:03:48,314
Tell him about the elephant we met
on Fifth Avenue, about four years ago.
825
01:03:48,391 --> 01:03:50,791
We were walking along the street when,
right out of the blue,
826
01:03:50,860 --> 01:03:53,021
a complete stranger stopped me.
827
01:03:53,095 --> 01:03:56,656
It turned out to be the little preacher
who married Julie's father and me
828
01:03:56,732 --> 01:03:59,724
in Portland, Maine, 23 years before!
829
01:04:01,404 --> 01:04:06,603
- And he actually was able to recognize you?
- And I'd put on a little weight since then.
830
01:04:07,210 --> 01:04:10,270
They say a New Englander
seldom forgets a face.
831
01:04:10,980 --> 01:04:13,813
Crazy odds, but what can we lose?
832
01:04:15,051 --> 01:04:16,416
Yeah, get this picture
833
01:04:16,485 --> 01:04:19,750
to every churchman, judge
and justice of the peace in Connecticut.
834
01:04:19,822 --> 01:04:24,259
- It's certainly worth trying.
- It's a big job. Compiling lists,
835
01:04:24,527 --> 01:04:26,620
- checking out leads.
- It can be done.
836
01:04:26,696 --> 01:04:28,687
The two of us could handle it, Julie.
837
01:04:29,732 --> 01:04:32,667
Well, I'd like to, Steve, but I've resigned.
838
01:04:32,735 --> 01:04:36,637
And I'd sooner drop dead
than ask Mark Chapman for my job back.
839
01:04:43,312 --> 01:04:45,803
- You dog!
- It never got past Baxter.
840
01:04:46,883 --> 01:04:48,908
A list of churches in each town
is no problem.
841
01:04:48,985 --> 01:04:52,318
The judges and JPs we can get
from the state legal directory in Hartford.
842
01:04:52,388 --> 01:04:54,720
Yeah, you start packing.
Enough for a couple of weeks.
843
01:04:54,790 --> 01:04:56,451
I'm going to the office
and get the lab boys started
844
01:04:56,525 --> 01:04:57,787
on knocking out a few hundred circulars.
845
01:04:57,860 --> 01:05:00,260
But suppose Chapman says no
to my working with you on it?
846
01:05:00,329 --> 01:05:03,492
Why should he? Anyway, I'm not going
to tell him anything until we're ready to go.
847
01:05:03,566 --> 01:05:04,658
Tonight sometime.
848
01:05:04,734 --> 01:05:08,898
Mom, you think it's safe for me to travel
out of state at night with this young man?
849
01:05:08,971 --> 01:05:12,702
Just so he doesn't misconstrue
the meaning of "freedom of the press."
850
01:05:12,775 --> 01:05:16,336
Hey, you wonderful woman.
I'll check with you for dinner.
851
01:05:21,417 --> 01:05:23,544
Steve, this is shot-in-the-dark stuff.
852
01:05:23,619 --> 01:05:26,452
Mark, more rabbit-brained ideas than this
have paid off.
853
01:05:26,522 --> 01:05:28,956
Your hottest lead is right here in town
where the murders were committed.
854
01:05:29,025 --> 01:05:32,290
Yeah, our hottest lead was in town,
but it dried up like a puddle in July.
855
01:05:32,361 --> 01:05:33,589
You're looking for a mental marvel,
856
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:36,154
a guy who can recognize somebody
he'd seen for 15 or 20 minutes
857
01:05:36,232 --> 01:05:38,757
at a wedding ceremony
he performed 21 years ago.
858
01:05:38,834 --> 01:05:41,394
How do we know he only saw them
for 15 or 20 minutes?
859
01:05:41,470 --> 01:05:44,200
Maybe they were members of his church
or were married by a judge
860
01:05:44,273 --> 01:05:46,298
or a justice in their own town.
861
01:05:46,375 --> 01:05:48,605
Steve, you're off
on a needle-in-a-haystack hunt.
862
01:05:48,678 --> 01:05:51,078
You can find a needle in a haystack
if you look long enough.
863
01:05:51,147 --> 01:05:53,775
You don't think I'm gonna let you
hang around up there indefinitely, do you?
864
01:05:53,849 --> 01:05:55,680
You won't have to. A week, probably.
865
01:05:55,751 --> 01:05:58,982
Julie Allison's coming along to help me.
It's all arranged.
866
01:05:59,055 --> 01:06:02,456
It's all arranged. And that five grand reward.
You arranged that, too?
867
01:06:02,525 --> 01:06:06,586
No, you did, or will.
Mark, what's eating you?
868
01:06:07,096 --> 01:06:09,257
I'm only checking out every possible angle.
869
01:06:09,332 --> 01:06:11,061
Kid, I don't want you to beat your brains out.
870
01:06:11,133 --> 01:06:13,033
We can get just so much
out of this Lonely Hearts story,
871
01:06:13,102 --> 01:06:16,128
and then we'll start easing it off
and let it die a natural death.
872
01:06:16,205 --> 01:06:19,368
Let it die? Mark, we let Charlie Barnes die!
873
01:06:20,509 --> 01:06:22,909
The least we can do now is to find his killer.
874
01:06:23,679 --> 01:06:26,443
You're the guy who pounded into me,
"Never give up till you've got the story."
875
01:06:26,515 --> 01:06:28,449
Well, I'm not quitting on this one
until I've licked it.
876
01:06:28,517 --> 01:06:30,985
You can reach me
at the Lenox Hotel in Hartford.
877
01:06:56,579 --> 01:06:57,978
Long distance.
878
01:06:58,047 --> 01:06:59,844
I want some information.
879
01:06:59,915 --> 01:07:01,906
A telephone number
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
880
01:07:01,984 --> 01:07:05,181
The name is Hacker. He's a judge.
I don't remember his first name.
881
01:07:05,254 --> 01:07:07,222
You wish to place a call to this party?
882
01:07:07,289 --> 01:07:10,383
No, no. Not yet, that is.
I just want to get his telephone number.
883
01:07:10,459 --> 01:07:12,188
<i>One moment, please.</i>
884
01:07:16,799 --> 01:07:20,235
Hello? The Middlebury operator
has no listing for anyone by that name.
885
01:07:21,037 --> 01:07:22,436
There isn't?
886
01:07:23,305 --> 01:07:25,296
Middlebury's a small town.
Will you ask the operator
887
01:07:25,374 --> 01:07:26,966
if she knows anything
about Judge Hacker at all?
888
01:07:27,043 --> 01:07:29,273
Is he deceased, moved away, or what?
889
01:07:29,345 --> 01:07:31,074
<i>One moment, please.</i>
890
01:07:35,518 --> 01:07:38,510
Hello? The local operator
has been in Middlebury for five years
891
01:07:38,587 --> 01:07:40,646
and knows no one
by the name of Judge Hacker.
892
01:07:40,723 --> 01:07:42,384
That's all the information she can give us.
893
01:07:43,959 --> 01:07:45,153
Thanks.
894
01:08:32,908 --> 01:08:35,308
No, Reverend,
I'm afraid that's not our couple.
895
01:08:36,412 --> 01:08:39,040
You may be positive, Reverend,
but you're mistaken.
896
01:08:39,115 --> 01:08:41,515
The woman in the photo we sent you
is dead.
897
01:08:41,584 --> 01:08:43,916
Thank you for calling, Reverend.
898
01:08:46,288 --> 01:08:48,153
You don't have to tell me.
899
01:08:48,224 --> 01:08:50,852
It's written all over
your bright and shining face.
900
01:08:50,926 --> 01:08:53,759
A 190-mile drive
to have a whack-head tell me
901
01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:56,423
that both the people in our circular
died a year ago.
902
01:08:57,766 --> 01:09:01,896
New Englanders remember, all right.
Every face is familiar to them.
903
01:09:04,406 --> 01:09:07,671
Hello? Just a minute, here's Steve.
904
01:09:08,110 --> 01:09:10,340
It's that man again. Every day.
905
01:09:10,412 --> 01:09:13,313
Does he think we'll keep it a big fat secret
if we find something?
906
01:09:15,284 --> 01:09:16,649
Yeah, Mark.
907
01:09:18,487 --> 01:09:20,819
Nothing but an aching back
and some interesting meetings
908
01:09:20,890 --> 01:09:22,824
with jelly-brained screwballs.
909
01:09:22,892 --> 01:09:26,555
You've had enough time, Steve. Ten days.
Admit it's a dud. Come on home.
910
01:09:26,629 --> 01:09:29,325
Two more days, Mark.
We'll stick it out to the end of the week.
911
01:09:29,899 --> 01:09:33,391
Get out of the haystack. It's easier
to find the needles at the scene of the crime.
912
01:09:33,469 --> 01:09:34,936
I'll see you.
913
01:09:35,771 --> 01:09:39,832
Two more days. I don't even know myself
why we're sticking around.
914
01:09:41,043 --> 01:09:42,772
Anything there that sounds good?
915
01:09:44,180 --> 01:09:47,946
I'll read you a fair sample.
From a J.P. Waterbury.
916
01:09:49,084 --> 01:09:52,451
"Send me $5,000
and I will tell you names of people."
917
01:09:52,655 --> 01:09:54,646
A new head I'll send him.
918
01:09:55,658 --> 01:09:58,320
I've got a headache.
I think I'll lie down for a while.
919
01:09:59,728 --> 01:10:01,855
Why don't you lie down here?
920
01:10:07,269 --> 01:10:08,998
I'll go to my room.
921
01:10:15,344 --> 01:10:17,744
McCleary. Okay, put him on.
922
01:10:18,681 --> 01:10:20,808
A guy calling from Franklin.
923
01:10:21,283 --> 01:10:23,308
Hello? Yeah, that's right.
924
01:10:25,955 --> 01:10:27,149
You do, huh?
925
01:10:29,258 --> 01:10:31,590
- You've got what?
- What is it?
926
01:10:31,827 --> 01:10:35,456
- Just a minute.
- I have the other picture right before me!
927
01:10:35,864 --> 01:10:41,131
Yes, I married them July 19th, 1931,
over in Middlebury.
928
01:10:42,438 --> 01:10:44,702
A funny thing. What's that?
929
01:10:48,143 --> 01:10:49,872
Judge Elroy Hacker.
930
01:10:50,379 --> 01:10:52,404
We'll be there in two hours, Judge.
931
01:10:52,481 --> 01:10:54,244
Sit tight
and keep your mouth shut about this.
932
01:10:54,316 --> 01:10:55,374
Bye.
933
01:10:55,584 --> 01:10:59,247
Go on, get packed.
He's liable to drop dead on us or something.
934
01:11:55,110 --> 01:11:58,102
For a man who can sit there
and watch his success increasing daily,
935
01:11:58,180 --> 01:12:00,011
you're looking much too troubled, Mark.
936
01:12:00,082 --> 01:12:03,210
It's just that these minor problems
always seem to require major thinking.
937
01:12:03,285 --> 01:12:06,379
Well, perhaps we can balance
the unpleasant with the pleasant.
938
01:12:06,455 --> 01:12:09,390
That conversation we had the other day
about your buying company stock.
939
01:12:09,458 --> 01:12:10,823
- Yeah?
- I just thought I'd tell you,
940
01:12:10,893 --> 01:12:14,920
- I think we can swing that.
- That's fine, Mr. Madison, just great.
941
01:12:14,997 --> 01:12:17,659
Well, there doesn't seem to be any doubt
you'll reach that bonus figure.
942
01:12:17,733 --> 01:12:19,064
It'll be pleasant having you as a partner,
943
01:12:19,134 --> 01:12:20,863
- so to speak, in the paper, Mark.
- Thanks.
944
01:12:20,936 --> 01:12:22,801
- Good night.
- Good night.
945
01:14:17,953 --> 01:14:19,147
Sorry to keep you this late, Mark,
946
01:14:19,221 --> 01:14:21,621
but we got hit with a mess of traffic
on the way in.
947
01:14:21,690 --> 01:14:23,157
Your wire sounded important.
948
01:14:23,225 --> 01:14:26,456
I found that needle,
or rather the man with the needle.
949
01:14:26,528 --> 01:14:29,725
Judge Elroy Hacker,
Mark Chapman, Managing Editor.
950
01:14:29,865 --> 01:14:32,925
- Glad to meet you, Judge.
- How do, Mr. Chapman?
951
01:14:33,902 --> 01:14:35,893
- Sit down, Judge.
- Thanks.
952
01:14:36,772 --> 01:14:38,672
Does the judge's needle sew anything up?
953
01:14:38,740 --> 01:14:41,231
Everything but knotting the thread
at the end.
954
01:14:41,310 --> 01:14:42,937
I mean the noose.
955
01:14:44,046 --> 01:14:45,240
What have you got?
956
01:14:45,314 --> 01:14:48,511
The identity of Mrs. Lonely Heart
and her husband.
957
01:14:49,117 --> 01:14:51,711
Judge Hacker married them
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
958
01:14:51,787 --> 01:14:54,688
Their names are Charlotte and George Grant.
959
01:14:58,827 --> 01:14:59,953
Did you get that, Mark?
960
01:15:00,028 --> 01:15:03,327
The name of the Lonely Heart Killer
is George Grant.
961
01:15:03,699 --> 01:15:05,530
Yeah, I heard you. Go on.
962
01:15:05,601 --> 01:15:08,229
Strike two. The judge is sure
he can identify George Grant
963
01:15:08,303 --> 01:15:10,203
when he sees him again.
964
01:15:10,806 --> 01:15:13,969
You see, I took this picture myself.
965
01:15:14,710 --> 01:15:17,338
A little extra service
the judge gave his bridal couples.
966
01:15:17,412 --> 01:15:20,711
Yes. I'd send them a print
and put one in my own scrapbook.
967
01:15:20,782 --> 01:15:22,579
The judge even furnished
the "just married" sign.
968
01:15:22,651 --> 01:15:24,118
Judge, you said
you married them in Middlebury,
969
01:15:24,186 --> 01:15:27,883
- but Steve found you in Franklin.
- I retired seven years ago.
970
01:15:27,956 --> 01:15:31,323
I'm partial to fishing,
so I moved over on the coast.
971
01:15:32,027 --> 01:15:34,928
I only happened
to see your circular by chance,
972
01:15:34,997 --> 01:15:37,830
in the office of a justice friend of mine.
973
01:15:40,602 --> 01:15:43,571
I always said you were born
in a field of shamrocks.
974
01:15:43,639 --> 01:15:47,769
Sure. The McClearys raised their kids
on nothing but rabbits' feet.
975
01:15:48,410 --> 01:15:52,471
Judge, what makes you so sure
you can identify George Grant today?
976
01:15:54,383 --> 01:15:57,250
Well, mainly because right after
I took that wedding picture,
977
01:15:57,319 --> 01:16:00,482
this Grant got vexed at his wife
about something.
978
01:16:01,590 --> 01:16:05,651
I can remember his voice, snapping at her.
His face getting red...
979
01:16:07,696 --> 01:16:11,598
I know what's in your bonnet, Mark.
We still have to find George Grant.
980
01:16:11,667 --> 01:16:14,363
A needle's nothing but a hunk of steel
if you've got nothing to sew.
981
01:16:14,436 --> 01:16:15,801
We just need the thread.
982
01:16:15,871 --> 01:16:18,203
I figure we'll pick that up
right here in New York.
983
01:16:18,273 --> 01:16:21,367
When the police line up all the local
George Grants for the judge to look over.
984
01:16:23,745 --> 01:16:27,416
That's Julie. I dropped her off
at headquarters to tell Davis what we've got.
985
01:16:29,251 --> 01:16:32,618
Friend Davis is steaming
like a pressure cooker, as I said he would.
986
01:16:32,688 --> 01:16:33,746
He'll simmer down.
987
01:16:33,822 --> 01:16:36,484
So will your
lining up the George Grants idea.
988
01:16:36,558 --> 01:16:40,255
Davis says he'll do nothing until you turn
Judge Hacker over to the police.
989
01:16:40,329 --> 01:16:42,763
- Steve, you can't hold...
- Relax, doll. He'll see the judge later.
990
01:16:42,831 --> 01:16:44,924
Not tonight he won't.
The judge is our exclusive beat.
991
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,230
Nobody gets to him
till our story breaks tomorrow.
992
01:16:47,302 --> 01:16:49,031
I don't trust cops.
993
01:16:51,607 --> 01:16:52,904
You and Julie start writing the story.
994
01:16:52,975 --> 01:16:56,308
I'll put the judge in a side-street hotel
where nobody will get to him.
995
01:16:56,378 --> 01:16:57,902
Come on, Judge.
996
01:17:01,316 --> 01:17:03,648
I'll just wait for Mr. McCleary.
997
01:17:04,987 --> 01:17:06,921
He was going to put me up at his place.
998
01:17:06,989 --> 01:17:08,581
That's the first place
the wolves will start baying.
999
01:17:08,657 --> 01:17:10,921
You better come with me, Judge.
1000
01:17:10,993 --> 01:17:15,157
No, I don't think it would be wise
for me to go with you, Mr. Grant.
1001
01:17:15,731 --> 01:17:18,325
- Mister...
- Chapman, Judge. Not Grant.
1002
01:17:18,734 --> 01:17:21,294
You'd better give your brain a rest.
You're gonna need it.
1003
01:17:21,370 --> 01:17:22,735
He may be Chapman now,
1004
01:17:22,804 --> 01:17:27,104
but 21 years ago, when I married them,
he was George Grant.
1005
01:17:27,509 --> 01:17:29,534
And he was a newspaperman.
1006
01:17:30,379 --> 01:17:34,145
I remember now. He said he worked
on the paper over in Waterford.
1007
01:17:34,216 --> 01:17:37,549
Waterford, Connecticut, was that town
I couldn't think of.
1008
01:17:37,619 --> 01:17:40,110
But I knew I'd remember that voice.
1009
01:17:40,422 --> 01:17:44,586
His face... You've changed.
But it's the same man.
1010
01:17:45,060 --> 01:17:48,086
You remember that $5,000 reward, though,
don't you, Judge?
1011
01:17:48,163 --> 01:17:51,428
Judge. This is impossible.
You're getting confused.
1012
01:17:51,633 --> 01:17:54,864
He sounds to me as though
he knows exactly what he's saying.
1013
01:17:54,936 --> 01:17:57,837
This is idiotic!
Screwball, crackbrained lunacy!
1014
01:17:57,906 --> 01:18:01,364
And that's just the kind of a witness
the judge is going to make, too, Steve.
1015
01:18:01,443 --> 01:18:03,240
The police have that specimen
of hair and flesh
1016
01:18:03,311 --> 01:18:05,905
found under Mrs. Grant's fingernails.
1017
01:18:06,348 --> 01:18:09,283
I think we'd better get in touch with Davis.
1018
01:18:09,551 --> 01:18:11,212
No phone, Allison.
1019
01:18:21,797 --> 01:18:26,359
Julie pegged you right off.
But me, still wet behind the ears McCleary.
1020
01:18:27,235 --> 01:18:29,328
I went for the sleigh ride.
1021
01:18:29,971 --> 01:18:35,409
I practically built the pedestal for Chapman.
The great newspaperman. The great guy.
1022
01:18:36,778 --> 01:18:41,545
There ought to be a special Pulitzer Prize
for the world's biggest sucker, McCleary.
1023
01:18:41,616 --> 01:18:44,141
Just another one of your stupid slobs!
1024
01:18:44,219 --> 01:18:45,948
Things happen, Steve,
and then there's just no end.
1025
01:18:46,021 --> 01:18:47,921
Killing my wife was an accident.
1026
01:18:47,989 --> 01:18:51,823
And Charlie. Charlie Barnes,
who never hurt a fly in his life.
1027
01:18:52,294 --> 01:18:54,057
A washed-up drunken rummy
who had nothing to live for
1028
01:18:54,129 --> 01:18:55,790
against a career
that was just reaching its prime.
1029
01:18:55,864 --> 01:18:59,322
- It wasn't an even exchange.
- You've got a great career ahead of you now.
1030
01:18:59,401 --> 01:19:02,302
That's all down the drain.
I gotta to make different plans now.
1031
01:19:02,370 --> 01:19:04,736
You should have started running
when you got my wire, sucker!
1032
01:19:04,806 --> 01:19:06,501
I gambled.
The stakes are big enough, you don't run
1033
01:19:06,575 --> 01:19:10,443
unless there's nothing else left to do.
Don't try it, kid.
1034
01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:30,190
Steve!
1035
01:19:50,986 --> 01:19:53,011
We're just too close, kid.
1036
01:19:57,292 --> 01:20:02,059
I figured I'd find you birds here.
Still playing me for a pushover, aren't you?
1037
01:20:04,032 --> 01:20:06,227
Steve, you remember how I told you
1038
01:20:06,301 --> 01:20:09,464
that someday you'd run into
a really great story?
1039
01:20:09,905 --> 01:20:11,736
Well, this one ought to do it, huh?
1040
01:20:12,474 --> 01:20:14,374
Yeah, this one will do.
1041
01:20:14,976 --> 01:20:16,603
I'll give you the lead on it.
1042
01:20:17,846 --> 01:20:18,972
"The elusive Lonely Heart Killer,
1043
01:20:19,047 --> 01:20:20,708
"object of a nationwide search
for the past two weeks,

Mark Chapman, editor of the New York Express, has made the newspaper a success by pursuing sensationalism and yellow journalism. His protégé is ace reporter Steve McCleary, while successful feature writer Julie Allison is frustrated by the paper's drift towards raking the muck. One night, during a lonely hearts dance organized by the Express, Chapman's estranged wife confronts him and demands that he visit her hotel room. It is revealed that Chapman's real name is George Grant, and he abandoned his wife decades earlier, changing his identity. When Chapman rebuffs her efforts toward reconciliation, she threatens to publicize his real identity. Chapman tries to restrain her, accidentally killing her in the scuffle.
Chapman attempts to cover up his crime, posing the scene to look like an accident. The police initially believe she slipped in the bathtub, but McCleary begins covering the case, and his reporting reveals it was a murder. McCleary is eager to run the story, and Chapman must acquiesce to avoid suspicion. The "mystery" murderer is dubbed the "Lonely Hearts Killer." Charlie Barnes, an alcoholic former star reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner, stumbles upon the dead woman's suitcase, in which he finds wedding photographs showing Chapman (then Grant) and his wife. He realizes that Chapman must be the killer. Barnes contacts Allison, who has been kind to him, attempting to give her the scoop, but Chapman overhears the conversation. He intercepts and kills Barnes before he can reveal the truth to a rival publication. This act only increases public interest in the story of the Lonely Hearts Killer, much to Chapman's frustration.
Assisted by Allison, McCleary continues to track down clues and leads. Eventually he locates another photo from Chapman/Grant's wedding, although the groom is shot in profile and it is not obvious that it is Chapman. McCleary and Allison travel to Connecticut to find the judge who married the murdered woman and the man in the photograph. After a week of searching, they identify the judge who conducted the marriage. They bring him back to the newspaper building, where he identifies Chapman as the groom and thus the Lonely Hearts Killer. McCleary is incredulous, but Allison puts the pieces together and the desperate Chapman pulls a gun on them. The police arrive, and Chapman cannot bring himself to shoot McCleary. Instead, he gives McCleary his blessing to publish all details of his crimes and then commits suicide by cop.

1
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,468
I know how you feel, lady.
2
00:01:52,545 --> 00:01:54,445
Just take your time
and tell me what happened.
3
00:01:54,514 --> 00:01:57,915
He had this meat ax, her blood all over it.
4
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:03,187
My brother-in-law had it.
Blood all over his hands, all over his shirt.
5
00:02:03,389 --> 00:02:05,687
I can't talk about it, Officer.
6
00:02:05,859 --> 00:02:08,851
I know it's rough, lady,
but I have to have the facts.
7
00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:14,298
He comes staggering out in the hall.
He says, "I did it. Call the cops."
8
00:02:15,101 --> 00:02:16,125
And then he...
9
00:02:16,202 --> 00:02:19,467
Snap it up, Captain.
Lieutenant Davis just blew in.
10
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,303
What's he going to do, Officer?
11
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:25,003
- I'm not a cop, lady.
- But you said...
12
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:27,610
All I said was,
"I had to ask you some questions."
13
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,079
I'm from the <i>Express.</i>
14
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:33,984
You made me go through all that.
Why, you're not decent! You're not human!
15
00:02:34,754 --> 00:02:38,121
- Sorry, lady. All part of the job.
- Well, well, Lieutenant Davis.
16
00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:42,252
- Say, this must have been a homicide.
- Hi, Lieutenant. Wait till you hear it.
17
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:45,092
- A messy one.
- You keep pulling stuff like this, McCleary,
18
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:50,193
and so help me, if it's the last thing I do,
I'll run you in! Now, that's a warning!
19
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:18,591
This is KL-75263. Get me Plaza-52099.
20
00:03:19,532 --> 00:03:24,401
You know, that wasn't a bad-Iooking dame.
Too bad the guy used an ax on her head.
21
00:03:25,271 --> 00:03:27,796
Spoiled some pretty pictures for me.
22
00:03:28,908 --> 00:03:31,877
Hey, Mark, have you put on the gloves
with those stockholders yet?
23
00:03:32,178 --> 00:03:34,203
Hi. No, I'm just taping up my hands.
24
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,976
<i>Well, you can tell them we got</i>
<i>another neat and gory one coming up.</i>
25
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:39,177
<i>Hatchet murder. Lower East Side tenement.</i>
26
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:41,652
<i>Wrapped up an exclusive interview</i>
<i>with an eyewitness.</i>
27
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:43,211
You got plenty of art?
28
00:03:43,289 --> 00:03:45,052
Yeah. Biddle grabbed all he could
of the body.
29
00:03:45,124 --> 00:03:49,185
A dame, very messy.
Got a great hysterical close-up of her sister.
30
00:03:49,529 --> 00:03:52,828
I'll even write the caption for you.
"I seen him with a bloody meat ax."
31
00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:54,592
Good. With that, I can sell papers.
32
00:03:54,667 --> 00:03:57,295
Give it to rewrite and we'll get it in the final.
Hold on. What do you want?
33
00:03:57,370 --> 00:04:00,237
Mr. Madison called down
from the boardroom again, Mr. Chapman.
34
00:04:00,306 --> 00:04:02,831
You hear that?
I'm letting them stew in their financial juices.
35
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:05,067
Well, don't overdo it. I like this job.
36
00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:08,273
You've never gone backwards
with me before, have you, kid?
37
00:04:08,348 --> 00:04:13,217
If we leave here, we'll bounce into
a bigger setup. I'll see you when you get in.
38
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:21,417
As one of the largest stockholders
in this corporation,
39
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:24,463
I would like to know
why the <i>New York Express,</i>
40
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:27,465
once a distinguished
and respected newspaper,
41
00:04:29,869 --> 00:04:33,600
has been allowed to become
a cheap and depraved publication.
42
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:38,835
Why has an editor been allowed
to turn a decent journal into this?
43
00:04:39,679 --> 00:04:41,613
A disgusting tabloid!
44
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,749
Pandering to the passions
of the base morons!
45
00:04:45,151 --> 00:04:47,847
I demand an explanation, Frank Madison.
46
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:54,750
Well, Mrs. Rawley, I...
In defense of Mark Chapman, I...
47
00:04:54,827 --> 00:04:58,263
Mr. Madison, I'd like to handle
my own defense, if you don't mind.
48
00:04:58,331 --> 00:04:59,855
Just as you say, Mark.
49
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:05,428
Mrs. Rawley, I think you
and the other stockholders should know
50
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:07,496
that your publisher hired me
as executive editor
51
00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:09,837
with full rights to transform this newspaper.
52
00:05:10,677 --> 00:05:14,443
He did this for a very simple reason.
He was fed up with operating at a loss.
53
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:18,611
Why did Mr. Madison hire me?
Well, he felt it was time that the <i>Express</i>
54
00:05:18,685 --> 00:05:21,745
buried its antiquated negative approach,
such as this.
55
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:25,756
But who won?
56
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:29,920
And become a positive newspaper.
We're in a business, ladies and gentlemen,
57
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:34,695
a business of satisfying the hunger
of the public for thrills, escape and news.
58
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:39,271
Here's where I took over
your highly respectable white elephant.
59
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:42,172
Instead of headlining a UN story,
we gave them a vice story.
60
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:44,368
Obviously, they went for it.
61
00:05:44,544 --> 00:05:46,239
We played down
the presidential appointments
62
00:05:46,312 --> 00:05:48,644
and concentrated
on the "Gorilla Man" killings.
63
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:51,576
Here's what happened.
Thirty or forty thousand new readers.
64
00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:54,245
Why, in a year, circulation's up over 110%.
65
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,686
And when we reach 750,000,
66
00:05:56,756 --> 00:06:00,886
we'll have to pay you a big bonus.
I'm not sure I like this at all.
67
00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:02,761
Did you like the dividend check
you got last month
68
00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:04,194
for the first time in 12 years?
69
00:06:04,263 --> 00:06:07,323
I don't like this, sir.
What kind of journalism is this?
70
00:06:07,967 --> 00:06:10,026
A newspaper
staging a cheap, vulgar display
71
00:06:10,103 --> 00:06:13,266
in order to attract
the stupid slobs of the city!
72
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,865
The thousands who will attend
the Lonely Heart dance tonight,
73
00:06:15,942 --> 00:06:18,467
these poor, friendly, unhappy people
whom you call stupid slobs,
74
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:20,569
buy and read this newspaper.
75
00:06:20,646 --> 00:06:22,944
Their loyalty helped put that dividend check
in your pocket.
76
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:26,712
And I suppose you think it's a public service
when one of your reporters is arrested
77
00:06:26,786 --> 00:06:30,745
for withholding information from the police?
Or whatever it was.
78
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:34,150
This, what's his name, McCleary person,
79
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,352
and the things he writes about!
I think he should be fired!
80
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:39,295
This McCleary person
is the best young reporter I've seen
81
00:06:39,365 --> 00:06:41,060
in 25 years of newspapering.
82
00:06:41,134 --> 00:06:43,193
Before I'll fire him,
I'll throw the <i>Express</i> up for grabs
83
00:06:43,269 --> 00:06:45,669
and go to work for somebody
who appreciates real talent on a paper!
84
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:47,262
- Mark, I'm sure...
- One last thing.
85
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:50,798
The only contract I have here is a handshake
between Mr. Madison and myself.
86
00:06:50,877 --> 00:06:53,141
Now, unless you give me full rights
to run this paper the way I want,
87
00:06:53,212 --> 00:06:55,271
I'll quit after the final edition today.
88
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:58,784
Now, I'm sorry I can't stay with you
any longer. I have a newspaper to get out!
89
00:07:06,092 --> 00:07:10,426
- Your story ready, Miss Allison?
- I'll have the rest in a minute, Joey.
90
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:13,831
Mr. Chapman?
91
00:07:16,502 --> 00:07:17,696
Thanks.
92
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:26,937
McCleary story in yet, Bax?
93
00:07:32,485 --> 00:07:34,885
How'd you make out in the torture chamber?
94
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:40,450
This is good. Give it a big play.
Mac'll do a byline follow-up tomorrow.
95
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:43,825
- What are these?
- Pics for that Lonely Heart spread.
96
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:45,820
- Junk them.
- But I...
97
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:47,092
Take Peters off the Lonely Hearts.
98
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:48,997
He's photographing these slobs
like a lineup in a soup kitchen
99
00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:50,660
instead of panting for a red-hot romance.
100
00:07:50,736 --> 00:07:52,533
- Okay. But I...
- Yeah?
101
00:07:52,939 --> 00:07:54,566
Yes, Mr. Madison.
102
00:07:58,211 --> 00:08:00,611
- Get an ax, smear it with blood.
- Yeah? Whose?
103
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,171
Yours. If you can't spare any,
use chocolate syrup or something.
104
00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:07,652
Chocolate? Goody! When I'm through,
I can make a plate of fudge. Drop in.
105
00:08:08,721 --> 00:08:12,157
So, you still insist a woman having 20 kids
is worth a feature article?
106
00:08:12,225 --> 00:08:15,422
Hi, genius.
I think it's worth a whole front page.
107
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:18,391
It scares me, this maternal instinct of yours.
108
00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:20,955
Decided where you're taking me
to dinner tonight?
109
00:08:23,736 --> 00:08:25,966
If Chapman hasn't been canned,
110
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,169
you're going to dine with the worst loser
who ever paid off a bet.
111
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:31,608
Then you'd better stash some
bicarbonate soda in your bag, princess.
112
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:32,837
You're gonna need it.
113
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:35,437
Don't count your steaks
before you hear the sizzle.
114
00:08:37,617 --> 00:08:39,608
Well, what's the word? Are you ex or still?
115
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,880
They're not dumb enough
to throw out a winner.
116
00:08:41,954 --> 00:08:44,650
Congratulations. I knew you'd stick
their stocks right back in their teeth.
117
00:08:44,724 --> 00:08:46,555
I told them if they fired me,
McCleary would quit, too,
118
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:49,060
and then they'd be in real trouble.
119
00:08:49,128 --> 00:08:50,527
I wouldn't put it past them
to try and dump you
120
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:53,929
to get out of paying the bonus that's
staring them right in their glassy eyes.
121
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,331
I've got news for you.
122
00:08:55,401 --> 00:08:57,528
I'm going to cut you in
for a piece of that bonus.
123
00:08:57,603 --> 00:08:59,298
What do you want me to do, retire?
124
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:00,566
I thought we could make a deal with Madison
125
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,698
to buy some of the company's stock.
126
00:09:01,774 --> 00:09:03,901
You know, kid,
we could end up owning this newspaper.
127
00:09:03,976 --> 00:09:06,536
- Well, that's the best offer I've had all week.
- I'll make you another one.
128
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:09,080
I'll take you to dinner tonight.
You pick the spot.
129
00:09:10,349 --> 00:09:14,012
I'll make you a better offer.
My date's buying. She lost a bet.
130
00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:17,544
The Grand Duchess from Vassar again?
The way I feel, I can put up with anything.
131
00:09:17,623 --> 00:09:19,818
- I'm more worried, can she put up with you?
- Get her ready.
132
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:24,124
We've got to be at the ballroom at 8:00.
There's no time for nose powder.
133
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:32,597
Don't break your ears with that grin.
I can see. He's still in.
134
00:09:33,005 --> 00:09:36,532
- No loud whoops of joy, baby?
- Well, I tried everything.
135
00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:39,770
I crossed my fingers,
said prayers, burned candles.
136
00:09:39,845 --> 00:09:43,713
- Who's your tailor, princess?
- Let's get out of here.
137
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,075
I've had to look at that Chapman face all day.
138
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:50,714
I've got to cover his fiasco tonight
and suffer some more.
139
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:53,987
At least just looking at you for an hour
will be a welcome change.
140
00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:57,496
- Lf you're taking me to dinner, let's go.
- Taking him?
141
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,195
Wait a minute.
Our bet was between you and me.
142
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:03,463
Our bet was loser buys dinner.
We didn't say for how many.
143
00:10:03,536 --> 00:10:06,994
- Why, you double-crossing...
- I knew you'd be a good loser.
144
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:10,807
Someday remind me to tell you about girls.
145
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:20,248
You talk a couple of these suckers
into getting married.
146
00:10:20,319 --> 00:10:21,581
These Lonely Heart slobs got the gimmies,
147
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:23,519
and we've got plenty to give them
from the advertisers.
148
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:25,284
If you talk one couple
into getting married by 9:00,
149
00:10:25,358 --> 00:10:27,883
by 12:00 we'll have a dozen lined up
for wedded bliss.
150
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,155
- McCleary, the Brooklyn cupid.
- McCleary, the human yes man.
151
00:10:30,229 --> 00:10:31,594
Hey, Julie!
152
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:34,155
- Hello, Charlie.
- Charlie.
153
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:38,225
- How are you, Barnes?
- Fine, Mark. You're looking fit. McCleary.
154
00:10:38,571 --> 00:10:39,595
Thank you.
155
00:10:39,672 --> 00:10:41,799
What goes on? Are you ghosting
Allison's features, Charlie?
156
00:10:41,874 --> 00:10:43,774
No, he's helping me with research
for that series
157
00:10:43,843 --> 00:10:45,640
on historical monuments in New York.
158
00:10:45,711 --> 00:10:47,872
You couldn't pick a better man.
I ought to know.
159
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:50,006
Remember those old days, Mark?
160
00:10:50,082 --> 00:10:53,813
Like the time I cut the phone cables
at the Lindbergh trial?
161
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:55,520
You scooped me. Almost cost me my job.
162
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:59,957
Scooped you, the wire services,
scooped everybody. That was the year...
163
00:11:00,026 --> 00:11:02,358
That was the year you won the Pulitzer Prize.
164
00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:06,826
Listen, Mark.
This stuff I've been doing for Julie, it's...
165
00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:13,200
- Mark, I think I'm ready to go back to work.
- That's fine. I'm glad to hear it, Charlie.
166
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,164
How about it, Mark? How about a job?
167
00:11:19,645 --> 00:11:21,510
- Why not?
- Thanks.
168
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:25,447
- Charlie, I'm so proud of you!
- This is gonna take a little juggling.
169
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:26,849
I won't be able to do anything right away.
170
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:28,978
Look, Charlie, I'll call you.
We're late, we gotta rush.
171
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:31,785
Sure, Mark, I know how it is,
always on the go.
172
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:35,258
- Coffee in the morning? Skinners?
- Sure thing, Julie.
173
00:11:40,199 --> 00:11:41,257
All the time I thought you were a...
174
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:43,699
- How much did you give him?
- $10. He earned it.
175
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:44,929
Ten bucks?
176
00:11:45,004 --> 00:11:47,336
- Buy a lot of whiskey.
- Did you see that rum-dumb?
177
00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:49,806
- Come midnight, he'll be in the gutter.
- Now, wait a minute.
178
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:51,274
He's an alky, Julie.
You shouldn't give an alky
179
00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:52,367
more than a buck at a time.
180
00:11:52,445 --> 00:11:55,414
You're liable to kill him.
Ten bucks, he can take a bath in it.
181
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:58,314
But... Well, this job
will change everything for him.
182
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:01,319
Job? I wouldn't have him in my office,
let alone on my staff.
183
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:04,117
In you go, sucker. Where are you going?
184
00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:07,085
I'm not going to let him go off believing this.
185
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:10,617
- Do you want to break his heart?
- Do I? What do you think you're doing?
186
00:12:10,696 --> 00:12:13,358
I'm giving him hopes and dreams.
A rummy like that lives on dreams.
187
00:12:13,432 --> 00:12:17,061
- He's happy. Why spoil it?
- Happy? Happy like your Lonely Hearts,
188
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,798
looking forward to those big romances
they've been promised?
189
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:23,069
- Only Charlie's romance is with a bottle.
- Get in.
190
00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:48,057
Biddle, don't leave that camera at half mast.
Stop goldbricking on the other guys.
191
00:12:48,134 --> 00:12:52,127
I must have got 100 shots already,
Mr. Chapman. My arm's giving out.
192
00:12:52,204 --> 00:12:56,334
You've only started. I want shots of people
from every state. Now start shooting.
193
00:12:58,911 --> 00:13:01,038
How are you doing, princess?
194
00:13:01,147 --> 00:13:04,116
Well, it's an effort,
but I'm trying to keep from screaming.
195
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:06,981
You were a real bundle of laughs
during dinner, too.
196
00:13:07,052 --> 00:13:08,781
Why don't you simmer down now?
197
00:13:08,854 --> 00:13:10,515
You're not so pretty
when your feathers are all ruffled.
198
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:13,183
Don't, Steve. I'm in no mood for levity.
199
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:17,491
- Do you feel like dancing?
- Do you figure that'll smooth my feathers?
200
00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:21,691
I've got a great idea for you. Grab yourself
one of these Lonely Heart boys.
201
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:25,066
Tell him you're a club date. Con him.
Get his life history.
202
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:28,903
- And there's your feature for tomorrow.
- Mark Chapman, Junior.
203
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:31,568
It'll sell papers, you left that out.
204
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:34,871
Happy hunting, cupid.
Mustn't let the boss down.
205
00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:38,312
Save at least one dance for me, princess.
206
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:58,034
Every time I aim my lens
at one of these walking zombies,
207
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:01,334
I think of the time
I covered the Miss America contest.
208
00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:03,705
The tears almost start to flow.
209
00:14:06,378 --> 00:14:09,370
From McCleary, you get nothing but service.
Ten minutes before 9:00,
210
00:14:09,448 --> 00:14:13,179
and couple number one. Mary and Joe
met in front of the Arkansas booth.
211
00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:16,221
It was love at first sight, almost. Right?
212
00:14:16,288 --> 00:14:20,349
Well, sure. I'm from Texas,
but I sure love that Arkansas cooking.
213
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,890
- You love her, don't you?
- Well, sure, I reckon so.
214
00:14:23,963 --> 00:14:26,158
- Mary, you love him?
- Yes.
215
00:14:26,966 --> 00:14:31,130
- See, they're crazy about each other.
- Yeah, that's fine. Hey, Edwards.
216
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:33,535
We've got a romance going here.
They're ready for the orange blossoms.
217
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,837
- Well, how do you do? And congratulations.
- Save the teeth for the bandstand.
218
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:38,171
Get up there
and make the big announcement.
219
00:14:38,244 --> 00:14:42,044
Yes, sir, Mr. Chapman.
Come with me, you lucky, lucky people.
220
00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:46,842
Hey, you ain't gonna forget about the bed
with the built-in television set?
221
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:48,614
You'll spend your honeymoon in front of it.
222
00:14:51,624 --> 00:14:55,321
- Nice going, Steve, keep punching.
- I'll get the camera boys up to cover it.
223
00:14:57,129 --> 00:15:01,862
- Did you find a feature to write about yet?
- I haven't, and I don't intend to.
224
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:05,435
This bribing of poor, ignorant dopes
into a public wedding
225
00:15:05,504 --> 00:15:07,665
is cheap, cruel and disgusting.
226
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:10,573
This whole Wild West show is ridiculous,
and I want no part of it.
227
00:15:10,643 --> 00:15:13,305
Miss Allison,
your contract has six months to run.
228
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:17,281
My contract was made with Mr. Madison
before you took over the <i>Express.</i>
229
00:15:17,349 --> 00:15:18,543
If you don't like the way I run the paper,
230
00:15:18,617 --> 00:15:21,245
I have an agreement
that might be satisfactory to both of us.
231
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,811
Take six months' vacation with pay!
232
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:30,286
No, thank you, Mr. Chapman. I'll work it out.
I like my feature writing.
233
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,898
Thinking people like it, too,
234
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:37,561
even though there aren't many of them
buying the <i>Express</i> anymore. Good night!
235
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:43,605
That's it.
236
00:15:50,382 --> 00:15:53,613
<i>Friends, brothers and sisters</i>
<i>in the Lonely Hearts Club.</i>
237
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:55,677
<i>I have wonderful news for you,</i>
238
00:15:55,754 --> 00:15:59,747
<i>living proof that this magnificent club</i>
<i>is more than just a name.</i>
239
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:04,386
<i>But first, how would you like to meet</i>
<i>the great man who created your club?</i>
240
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:11,998
<i>Mr. Mark Chapman,</i>
<i>editor of the</i> New York Express.
241
00:16:12,071 --> 00:16:14,665
<i>Put the spotlight on him, over there!</i>
242
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,782
<i>Now here's the wonderful news.</i>
243
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:37,056
<i>Meet Mary and Joe, two happy people</i>
<i>who came here tonight as total strangers.</i>
244
00:16:37,463 --> 00:16:42,400
<i>They met, they danced, they found love.</i>
<i>They're going to get married!</i>
245
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,474
George?
246
00:16:57,516 --> 00:17:00,041
<i>- As the first couple who fell in love tonight...</i>
- George Grant!
247
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:01,814
<i>...Mary and Joe will receive...</i>
- It is you!
248
00:17:01,887 --> 00:17:03,752
<i>...compliments of the</i> Express...
- Charlotte.
249
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:05,119
<i>... a wedding night in a New York hotel...</i>
250
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:08,921
Finding you here...
I was so sure that you must be dead.
251
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:11,759
George Grant is dead.
252
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:14,259
Yes, I just heard.
253
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,134
- You're the...
- We can't talk here.
254
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:19,901
We can talk at my place, George.
255
00:17:20,806 --> 00:17:23,036
We've got a lot to talk about.
256
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:26,509
Go on out. I'll meet you at the side entrance.
257
00:17:32,785 --> 00:17:35,151
The years have been kinder to you.
258
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:38,621
What is it, 19, 20?
I used to keep track, but I don't...
259
00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:41,716
What's the difference?
Now that you found me, what do you want?
260
00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:57,401
May I?
261
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:07,375
- Come on, quit stalling around.
- What was it they called you at the ball?
262
00:18:07,453 --> 00:18:08,977
- Mark?
- Chapman.
263
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:15,755
When did you change your name, George?
Right after you left me?
264
00:18:17,062 --> 00:18:18,962
So I wouldn't find you?
265
00:18:19,631 --> 00:18:21,292
You knew I was so crazy about you
266
00:18:21,366 --> 00:18:24,028
I'd look and look and look,
didn't you, George?
267
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,697
Come on, get to it. What do you want?
268
00:18:27,739 --> 00:18:32,574
You're still in a hurry, aren't you?
That's the thing I remember best about you.
269
00:18:32,878 --> 00:18:37,645
The fellow who always ran and never walked.
Had to get places fast!
270
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,749
And you got places, didn't you, George?
271
00:18:44,323 --> 00:18:46,883
Here, you need some money?
Here's some for now.
272
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,860
Money? The payoff, George?
273
00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:54,497
How much? How much for each year?
274
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:58,633
How much for the agony
and the heartbreak and the fear?
275
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:03,141
- Charlotte, cut the ham act.
- This could be for the doctor bill, see?
276
00:19:06,578 --> 00:19:10,173
I was 20 years younger then,
took things more seriously.
277
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:14,142
I can't imagine how much.
278
00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:18,087
You're boring me now, like you always did.
279
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:20,388
People always bored you
280
00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:23,155
when you didn't have
any more use for them, didn't they, George?
281
00:19:23,228 --> 00:19:25,025
Bores and nuisances, I get rid of them.
282
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:27,497
Yeah, the same gentle way
you got rid of me.
283
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:28,692
My lawyer will get in touch with you.
284
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:31,702
He'll arrange a quiet divorce
and generous alimony.
285
00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:34,671
You're an important man now,
aren't you, George?
286
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:37,038
Editor of the <i>New York Express.</i>
287
00:19:38,977 --> 00:19:43,346
I never thought I'd be the wife of the editor
of a big New York newspaper.
288
00:19:43,415 --> 00:19:47,112
You're not, and don't get any ideas
about forcing yourself.
289
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:51,020
You've got nothing to gain by refusing me
a divorce now like you did 20 years ago.
290
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:56,759
I was young then and so foolishly in love.
I wanted so much to hold onto you.
291
00:19:57,496 --> 00:20:00,021
I made all of my mistakes when I was young,
and you were the biggest one.
292
00:20:00,098 --> 00:20:02,794
I fell for an attractive hunk of flesh.
293
00:20:04,169 --> 00:20:07,627
"Hold me." You didn't try to hang on.
You strangled me.
294
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,936
I'd smother to death with you.
295
00:20:15,747 --> 00:20:19,808
Turnabout's fair play.
When you walked out on me, I died inside.
296
00:20:20,352 --> 00:20:23,116
When I walk out of here, you're gonna die.
297
00:20:23,188 --> 00:20:27,852
Everything you worked for, grabbed for,
ruined people to get, it's all gonna die!
298
00:20:27,926 --> 00:20:29,393
You're a neurotic screwball!
299
00:20:29,461 --> 00:20:33,955
I'm gonna spread your story all over town.
Mark Chapman, the great editor!
300
00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:37,829
Wife deserter!
Living under a false name for 20 years.
301
00:20:39,137 --> 00:20:42,334
What else did you cover up
living under a phony name?
302
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:44,637
Your publishers are gonna love this.
303
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:49,044
And the other papers, they'll cut you
to ribbons with this information!
304
00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,470
Hi, honey, let me have the city room.
305
00:23:33,812 --> 00:23:37,179
This is Elkins.
If you need me, I'm over in Skinners.
306
00:23:38,316 --> 00:23:41,808
What? Having breakfast. Yeah, breakfast.
307
00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:53,323
Yes, Julie, after that fortunate
and historical meeting with Mark yesterday,
308
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:57,629
I had considerable difficulty
wooing the fickle Morpheus.
309
00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:01,939
That explains it.
Those bleeding eyes today.
310
00:24:02,474 --> 00:24:05,341
Well, I did have a couple
with the boys down below.
311
00:24:05,410 --> 00:24:08,277
A sort of celebration, and then farewell.
312
00:24:11,049 --> 00:24:13,574
You should have left them long ago, Charlie.
313
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:15,916
Any man who was big enough
in his day to rate that,
314
00:24:16,555 --> 00:24:20,389
a place in Skinner's Hall of Fame,
is still too big for Dead-End Street.
315
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:25,028
No regrets, Julie. My temporary alliance
with the denizens of the Bowery
316
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:29,863
has provided me with a deeper insight
into the whys and wherefores of mankind.
317
00:24:35,674 --> 00:24:38,006
A proven medical fact,
when the human system
318
00:24:38,076 --> 00:24:40,840
has been lengthily nurtured
on alcoholic stimulants,
319
00:24:40,912 --> 00:24:44,871
any abrupt cessation of same
will result in a negative reaction.
320
00:24:45,016 --> 00:24:46,381
Absolutely.
321
00:24:47,652 --> 00:24:52,385
But I'm tapering off. I'll be a firmly-rooted
passenger on the old water wagon
322
00:24:52,524 --> 00:24:54,856
by the time Mark's ready for me.
323
00:24:57,295 --> 00:25:01,561
Charlie, don't bet everything
on Mark Chapman.
324
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:06,666
He won't let me down.
First time I felt ready, I asked him for a job,
325
00:25:06,938 --> 00:25:10,032
and what happened?
He offered me one, didn't he?
326
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:15,173
- Mr. Lonely Heart.
- Compliments of the <i>Express,</i> Myrtle.
327
00:25:15,747 --> 00:25:18,545
- I see you read. You stick with the radio.
- Yeah.
328
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:20,744
Hey, McCleary,
I read that rag of yours by accident.
329
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:23,287
Yeah, me, too.
From ax murder to Ionely hearts.
330
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:25,653
What are you trying to prove,
you're versatile or something?
331
00:25:25,724 --> 00:25:27,885
What are you gentlemen
reading our rag for?
332
00:25:27,959 --> 00:25:30,427
Trying to find out
what's happening that's news?
333
00:25:30,495 --> 00:25:32,929
Good morning, kiddies. What's the word?
334
00:25:35,066 --> 00:25:36,624
Silly, that's the word.
335
00:25:36,701 --> 00:25:38,635
Still a heaping bunch of joy,
aren't you, princess?
336
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:43,663
Lonely Hearts Ball. Journalism has certainly
changed since the old days.
337
00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:47,302
What happened to you last night?
Pulled a fast fade on me.
338
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:50,712
- Don't tell me you actually missed me?
- I needed protection.
339
00:25:50,782 --> 00:25:53,250
Some of our love-hungry subscribers
got mixed up.
340
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:56,014
They were offering me deep-freezes
and vacuum cleaners.
341
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:59,318
- I'm surprised you refused.
- How do you know I did?
342
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:02,849
Certainly heavy coverage
on the unrequited passion set.
343
00:26:03,261 --> 00:26:06,924
Our love and romance edition, Charlie.
Even the crossword puzzle.
344
00:26:06,998 --> 00:26:08,966
But nothing from the Allison corner.
345
00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:12,335
Not interested in romance, Julie?
346
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:16,465
Not the kind that blossoms
on free gas stoves and television sets.
347
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:21,235
- About that Lonely Heart gag, I've got a...
- Steve, on the radio.
348
00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:27,652
- Julie. Hi, Charlie.
- Hi, Biddle.
349
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:31,086
Police call. Dead dame in a flat
on Third Avenue. Are you interested?
350
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:33,090
Well, she'd probably be a cheerful change.
351
00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:36,685
I'm still getting the icebox treatment
from the female on my left.
352
00:26:36,761 --> 00:26:40,162
After them scarecrows I shot last night,
I figure my luck's gotta change.
353
00:26:40,231 --> 00:26:43,428
Even dead, this dame's bound
to have more glamour.
354
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:45,467
Let's give her a look.
355
00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:48,801
Thanks for the coffee, kitten.
356
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:03,785
Another scarecrow. I'm batting goose eggs.
357
00:27:05,323 --> 00:27:07,848
Dames have got to make trouble
even when they die, don't they, pal?
358
00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:11,384
Yeah, water downstairs and water upstairs.
359
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:14,531
Probably wanted a room
with a swimming pool.
360
00:27:14,966 --> 00:27:16,866
Hey, Davis, what are you doing here?
361
00:27:16,935 --> 00:27:21,031
I just wanted to see if I couldn't get
to one of our calls before you did.
362
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:22,471
This isn't a homicide?
363
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:24,531
We got a new man
on the beat here, McCleary.
364
00:27:24,609 --> 00:27:26,167
He's built like you between the ears.
365
00:27:26,244 --> 00:27:29,975
He saw a hole in the back of the dame's head
and figured she was slugged.
366
00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:31,515
What's your guess, Lieutenant?
367
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:33,949
She put the hole
in the back of her head herself?
368
00:27:34,019 --> 00:27:36,783
Yeah, wise-eyes, that's it. That's it exactly.
369
00:27:36,855 --> 00:27:40,291
She slipped in the tub
and opened her skull on a faucet.
370
00:27:40,358 --> 00:27:43,953
- What was the lady's name, Sherlock?
- The landlady says Jane Jones.
371
00:27:44,029 --> 00:27:45,360
- Do you believe it?
- Yeah, I believe it.
372
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:47,762
I'm fresh out of nursery school.
373
00:27:48,466 --> 00:27:52,402
Jane Jones, alias Jane Doe.
Say, Dave, you're really humming.
374
00:27:53,204 --> 00:27:56,401
Look, nuisance, if you so much as make
these bedsprings squeak once again,
375
00:27:56,474 --> 00:28:00,308
- I'll throw you in the tub with the dame.
- Lieutenant, please.
376
00:28:04,616 --> 00:28:08,177
You're wrong, Dave.
She was murdered. Clear as your head.
377
00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:10,347
Murdered for her money.
378
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:13,949
Why, this lady must have spent easily
six or seven dollars a year on clothes.
379
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:15,492
Why don't you go home, McCleary?
380
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,462
There's nothing around here
to interest a big newsman like you.
381
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:27,827
Look, junior, keep your nose
in your own business, or I'll run you in
382
00:28:27,906 --> 00:28:31,137
- for obstruction, suspicion and vagrancy.
- Why, sure, Dave.
383
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:33,837
I just thought there might be something
in here to help identify her.
384
00:28:33,912 --> 00:28:35,243
No suitcase, huh?
385
00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:41,715
- In there, boys.
- Okay, Steve, I got all I need.
386
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:46,957
Thanks, Dave.
387
00:28:49,127 --> 00:28:52,062
- No, not you two again.
- What do you guys do,
388
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:54,758
smell these things
before the police call is even in?
389
00:28:54,833 --> 00:28:57,301
Try to forget your mugs.
There's a lady in the bathroom.
390
00:28:57,368 --> 00:29:00,531
- Yes, so knock before entering.
- Coming through.
391
00:29:10,381 --> 00:29:12,406
- What'd you pinch that for?
- Look familiar?
392
00:29:12,484 --> 00:29:15,544
I had them in front of me all night, didn't I?
393
00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:18,747
Hey, that's off a Lonely Hearts badge!
394
00:29:18,823 --> 00:29:22,554
Yeah. How many pictures
did you and the boys take at the ball?
395
00:29:22,627 --> 00:29:24,925
Three, maybe four hundred. I don't know.
396
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:27,260
Rush the print of Miss Bathtub
through the lab.
397
00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:28,594
Then check it against the others.
398
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:30,964
- See if you can match them up, okay?
- Sure.
399
00:29:31,035 --> 00:29:34,937
- Shouldn't take more than a week.
- Yeah, but I want it done in an hour.
400
00:29:35,006 --> 00:29:36,701
- I'll see you at the office.
- Where are you going?
401
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:39,903
I'm gonna hitch a ride to the morgue.
If you match them, call me.
402
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,674
How about a ride to the morgue, Pete?
403
00:30:04,969 --> 00:30:07,096
Hey, Needle Nellie, anybody home?
404
00:30:07,172 --> 00:30:08,662
Hey, handsome.
405
00:30:09,007 --> 00:30:11,271
- How you doing, sweetheart?
- Doing all right, handsome.
406
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:13,037
Come here and give us a kiss.
407
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,815
- How's business at the morgue, Nellie?
- Dead.
408
00:30:19,551 --> 00:30:21,178
Business is dead.
409
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:25,621
- It's good to see you, handsome.
- Likewise, sweetheart.
410
00:30:25,690 --> 00:30:27,385
A long time between dates.
411
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:30,621
But right now,
I come seeking your expert female advice.
412
00:30:30,695 --> 00:30:34,131
Anybody that's lived as long as me
can give it. Shoot.
413
00:30:34,732 --> 00:30:37,565
Nellie, if you had just one dress
to your name
414
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:39,535
and you'd fastened something onto it
with a safety pin,
415
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:40,969
and maybe you were in a hurry,
416
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,008
would you take time to undo the pin,
or would you rip the whole thing off?
417
00:30:44,075 --> 00:30:46,305
- This is a riddle?
- No, seriously.
418
00:30:46,377 --> 00:30:51,041
Well, if I had 10 dresses and the house
was burning down, I'd still undo the pin.
419
00:30:51,115 --> 00:30:52,639
Any lady would.
420
00:30:53,017 --> 00:30:55,485
That's what I figured.
I just wanted a woman to confirm it.
421
00:30:55,553 --> 00:30:57,453
I love you, Nellie. I love you.
422
00:30:57,522 --> 00:31:00,047
- Where you going, handsome?
- I gotta see the doc.
423
00:31:00,124 --> 00:31:01,955
Maybe I can get you some business, Nellie.
424
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:11,364
Did you get those ringside ducats
I sent you?
425
00:31:11,436 --> 00:31:13,427
Steve! Yeah, it was a great fight.
426
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:15,438
Mishke really tore that Haybelly apart,
didn't he?
427
00:31:15,506 --> 00:31:19,840
Had so much blood spattered on my glasses,
I missed the knockout punch.
428
00:31:20,478 --> 00:31:24,175
Look, Doc,
they just brought in an accidental death.
429
00:31:24,249 --> 00:31:27,047
- They're putting her in the freezer right now.
- So?
430
00:31:27,118 --> 00:31:30,110
So, I'd like you to give her
the onceover for me. An autopsy.
431
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:33,646
Accidents are out of my province.
You know that, Steve.
432
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:35,383
It's going to be
a great World Series this year.
433
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:37,087
Yeah, that it is.
434
00:31:37,528 --> 00:31:41,362
I don't suppose you'd be interested
in viewing the festivities from a box seat?
435
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:47,132
Are you trying to bribe a city official?
436
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:51,135
Right behind first base, Doc.
437
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:11,028
Yeah. Yeah, get some prints ready.
I think we've got our front page.
438
00:32:11,095 --> 00:32:14,792
Well, this is your lucky day. Drop back,
I want you to mark my racing form.
439
00:32:14,866 --> 00:32:16,766
Get the door, will you?
440
00:32:17,368 --> 00:32:20,064
Yeah, and don't forget, I smoke cigars.
441
00:32:20,838 --> 00:32:24,831
- Hey, Steve, let me wipe those off a little.
- Wipe them tomorrow.
442
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:32,008
Will you smile again
if I take you to dinner tonight?
443
00:32:32,083 --> 00:32:34,847
- A little celebration coming up.
- What's the celebration?
444
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:37,649
Another McCleary scoop.
Getting monotonous, isn't it?
445
00:32:37,722 --> 00:32:42,557
That dinner. A two-party celebration,
or are you bringing a friend?
446
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:44,559
Just you and me alone.
447
00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:47,825
I'll smile again.
What are the fragile treasures?
448
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:52,060
Very rare items.
Pictures of a dame with her mouth shut.
449
00:32:53,071 --> 00:32:55,972
- Joey, catch the door, will you?
- All right.
450
00:32:58,676 --> 00:33:01,270
I've been waiting a long time
for a chance to say this.
451
00:33:01,346 --> 00:33:03,439
- Stop the presses!
- Did you get a morning-after story
452
00:33:03,514 --> 00:33:05,004
on any of those couples
we married last night?
453
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:07,483
I got a story from one
of the Lonely Heart Ball guests, all right.
454
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:11,079
But she didn't get married last night.
She got murdered!
455
00:33:19,964 --> 00:33:23,263
- Who is she?
- A Jane Doe. Nobody knows her real name.
456
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:25,996
The police think she slipped in the bathtub
and bashed her head in,
457
00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:30,507
- or they did until a little while ago.
- But you knew better all the time?
458
00:33:30,575 --> 00:33:32,941
After Doc O'Hanlon got through
cutting her up for me.
459
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:36,538
She died between 9:00 and 12:00 last night,
before she went under in the tub.
460
00:33:36,614 --> 00:33:38,479
No water in her lungs.
461
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:40,283
Did he find anything else?
462
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:44,788
Yeah, her killer was a man, middle-aged,
fair complexion. Had brown hair.
463
00:33:45,390 --> 00:33:47,620
O'Hanlon found that
in scraping under her fingernails.
464
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:50,593
You ran into this
just by playing a hunch, huh?
465
00:33:50,661 --> 00:33:53,858
A string from a Lonely Heart badge
was on her dress in the closet.
466
00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:57,628
The badge had been torn off.
I followed through from there.
467
00:34:00,371 --> 00:34:04,364
Well, is this a story,
this Lonely Heart murdered after the ball?
468
00:34:04,575 --> 00:34:06,805
Can you sell papers with this?
469
00:34:10,248 --> 00:34:13,342
Baxter, Jordan, Allison,
get in here right away.
470
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:15,477
They didn't know her name, you said?
471
00:34:15,553 --> 00:34:18,920
Well, she called herself Jane Jones.
How phony can you get?
472
00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:20,014
We've just been struck by lightning.
473
00:34:20,091 --> 00:34:22,025
It's a great follow-up
for the Lonely Hearts Ball.
474
00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:24,118
Tell them about it, Steve.
475
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:30,997
We'll call her Miss Lonely Heart,
no other name. Alone in the city, friendless.
476
00:34:31,536 --> 00:34:34,801
She went to our shindig last night,
hunting for a soul mate.
477
00:34:34,872 --> 00:34:37,363
Maybe she found one, the wrong one.
478
00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:39,872
Anyway, she left early,
and sometime before midnight
479
00:34:39,944 --> 00:34:41,343
she was beaten to death in her room
480
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:44,540
by a brown-haired, middle-aged man
of fair complexion.
481
00:34:44,615 --> 00:34:46,480
A smash follow-up is right.
482
00:34:46,551 --> 00:34:49,247
The killer had a head full of brains.
Good nerves.
483
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,723
He lugged her to the bathroom,
stripped her, tossed the body in the tub.
484
00:34:54,459 --> 00:34:58,520
No. No, he stood the body in the tub.
Aimed, let go!
485
00:34:58,696 --> 00:35:03,190
Bang, her head cracks the faucet.
Almost perfect crime. Ordinary accident.
486
00:35:04,035 --> 00:35:06,936
He's working smartly,
a guy with imagination.
487
00:35:07,004 --> 00:35:10,963
He takes her slip, stockings,
washes them, hangs them up to dry.
488
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,000
He wipes his prints off everywhere.
489
00:35:13,077 --> 00:35:16,274
He starts getting rid of anything
that could identify her.
490
00:35:16,347 --> 00:35:18,907
He took a ring off her,
probably a wedding or engagement ring.
491
00:35:18,983 --> 00:35:22,111
- How do you know that?
- Whitish circle, third finger, left hand.
492
00:35:22,186 --> 00:35:25,587
- O'Hanlon spotted it at the morgue.
- All right, go on, go on.
493
00:35:25,656 --> 00:35:27,954
Well, he grabs any other personal items
that might identify her
494
00:35:28,025 --> 00:35:29,856
and throws them in her suitcase and blows.
495
00:35:29,927 --> 00:35:32,361
- How do you know she's got a suitcase?
- Every dame's got a suitcase.
496
00:35:32,430 --> 00:35:34,022
But there wasn't one
in Miss Lonely Heart's room.
497
00:35:34,098 --> 00:35:35,861
This'll kick up the circulation.
498
00:35:36,701 --> 00:35:40,137
We can make the 5:00 edition exclusive.
Steve can do the lead story.
499
00:35:40,204 --> 00:35:42,263
Jordan, I want three column cuts
of the dame's picture at the ball
500
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:44,433
and the murder photo.
Allison, write me a sob story,
501
00:35:44,509 --> 00:35:46,568
"Miss Lonely Heart
won't be Ionely anymore."
502
00:35:46,644 --> 00:35:47,736
Fine job, Steve.
503
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,303
Sure, it's a great job,
but we're gonna top it.
504
00:35:50,381 --> 00:35:51,439
How?
505
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,513
- Bury her.
- Bury her?
506
00:35:57,555 --> 00:35:59,682
The best story I ever dug up, and he tops it.
507
00:35:59,757 --> 00:36:02,157
By 5:00 tonight, Miss Lonely Heart
will be selling newspapers for us
508
00:36:02,226 --> 00:36:05,923
on every street corner in Manhattan.
Now, go on, get going.
509
00:37:42,126 --> 00:37:43,787
Be seeing you, Humpty.
510
00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:31,269
Look, I've shown you everything in the shop.
That's the last one I've got!
511
00:38:35,513 --> 00:38:36,605
Mark!
512
00:38:39,283 --> 00:38:41,217
- Mark, old boy!
- How are you, Charlie.
513
00:38:41,285 --> 00:38:45,085
What distasteful mission brings you to this
unholy neighborhood, Mark, my friend?
514
00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:46,589
I'm just looking around.
I like to keep my hand in,
515
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,124
even though I am strapped
to a desk right now.
516
00:38:48,192 --> 00:38:50,126
You wouldn't mean you're keeping
your hand in by working
517
00:38:50,194 --> 00:38:51,821
on this Lonely Heart murder,
would you, now, Mark?
518
00:38:51,896 --> 00:38:53,955
I've got a staff to take care of that for me.
519
00:38:54,031 --> 00:38:56,727
You can't kid an old newshound
like me, Mark.
520
00:38:56,801 --> 00:39:00,999
Still following our old formula,
first check the hock shops for a clue?
521
00:39:01,072 --> 00:39:03,336
Didn't wanna tip your hand
to those cops in there, did you?
522
00:39:03,407 --> 00:39:05,637
I tell you I'm not down here on business.
Now stop playing hawkshaw!
523
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:08,770
Let me show you Charlie Barnes
still has the master's touch
524
00:39:08,846 --> 00:39:11,713
- when it comes to following up a lead, Mark.
- Tell me about it later, will you,
525
00:39:11,782 --> 00:39:15,684
- when you come back to work for me?
- You're afraid I'll get drunk and tip the story.
526
00:39:15,753 --> 00:39:18,881
- I'm tapering off, Mark.
- That's fine, Charlie. I'll call you.
527
00:39:18,956 --> 00:39:23,825
Let me work this with you, Mark. I know
this whole district from gutter to rum-heads.
528
00:39:23,894 --> 00:39:26,226
Pete in the pawnshop's
an honored friend of mine.
529
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:27,992
- Yeah.
- I can get him to work with me and...
530
00:39:28,065 --> 00:39:30,898
- Hello, Charlie!
- Go away.
531
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:35,400
- Here, Charlie, here's something to count.
- I don't want a handout, Mark.
532
00:39:35,473 --> 00:39:37,498
- I want to work.
- You can pay me later. I'll call you, Charlie.
533
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:39,338
Mark, let me help...
534
00:40:13,544 --> 00:40:14,704
Hang onto them, Pete.
535
00:40:14,779 --> 00:40:17,873
We'll drop back payday
and look them over again.
536
00:40:25,022 --> 00:40:26,489
Them guys should wear glasses.
537
00:40:26,557 --> 00:40:29,185
They do so much looking,
but never no buying.
538
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:31,125
Get this for me, Pete.
539
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:34,356
Taking something out for a change
instead of putting it in, Charlie?
540
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:37,526
I admit to the novelty of the occasion, Peter.
541
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:50,109
- Hey, you didn't hock this with me.
- Doing a favor for a friend.
542
00:40:52,082 --> 00:40:56,178
Them cops. You know, if someday
they should buy something from me, I'd...
543
00:40:56,253 --> 00:40:59,620
No, that'd be bad. I'd drop dead.
544
00:41:02,226 --> 00:41:06,185
You know, Charlie, I ought to be
in some other kind of business.
545
00:41:06,697 --> 00:41:10,497
You really meet a very poor class of people
in this business.
546
00:41:10,768 --> 00:41:13,259
Not meaning anything personal,
you understand.
547
00:41:13,337 --> 00:41:16,773
But I'm always dealing with people
who are in trouble,
548
00:41:17,274 --> 00:41:21,608
people who gotta hock something.
People who gotta buy something cheap.
549
00:41:24,582 --> 00:41:28,109
I don't like cheap things.
I never did and I never will.
550
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:34,356
I should have been big fur man, maybe,
or big jewelry man.
551
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,651
Then I could deal with rich people.
552
00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:42,554
That's the kind of people
I really prefer to deal with.
553
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:47,694
- Hey! How much is on this ticket?
- Two bucks.
554
00:41:58,249 --> 00:41:59,841
Here, sign here.
555
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:08,424
You know, sometimes they say
even the rich people aren't happy.
556
00:42:08,492 --> 00:42:11,017
But how that could be, I don't know.
557
00:42:12,296 --> 00:42:15,857
Thank you, Peter.
Thank you for being in business!
558
00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:21,433
Thank you very much.
559
00:42:33,517 --> 00:42:35,041
A shot, Heeney.
560
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:38,614
You look like your blood pressure's boiling,
Charlie. What's the matter?
561
00:42:38,689 --> 00:42:40,680
The classic irony of the age, Heeney.
562
00:42:40,758 --> 00:42:43,659
Charlie Barnes, a stewbum,
rocking the newspaper world
563
00:42:43,727 --> 00:42:46,457
like he never did in all his sober days.
564
00:43:00,411 --> 00:43:02,208
- Composing.
- Yes, sir.
565
00:43:04,481 --> 00:43:07,712
Yes. Yes, madam,
I have two answers for you.
566
00:43:08,185 --> 00:43:11,313
First, you shouldn't talk
to strange men in bars.
567
00:43:11,388 --> 00:43:13,982
Second, because he asked you to marry him
568
00:43:14,058 --> 00:43:16,356
then hit you with a pretzel dish
when you refused
569
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:19,191
isn't conclusive proof
he's our Lonely Heart Killer,
570
00:43:19,263 --> 00:43:21,697
but thanks for calling, lady. Bye.
571
00:43:23,334 --> 00:43:26,326
Phony or not,
those tips belong to the police.
572
00:43:26,704 --> 00:43:30,299
When are you going to get rid of the idea
you're wearing an invisible badge?
573
00:43:30,374 --> 00:43:34,140
Julie Allison. Hello, Charlie. How are you?
574
00:43:36,714 --> 00:43:38,181
The Lonely Heart murder?
575
00:43:38,248 --> 00:43:42,844
And you've got to meet me right away.
We have to figure out how to handle this.
576
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,514
I know the killer, and it's dynamite.
577
00:43:46,757 --> 00:43:48,952
Well, Charlie,
that story is really Steve McCleary's.
578
00:43:49,026 --> 00:43:52,587
- I think you'd better talk to...
- No, no, Julie, I want you to have this.
579
00:43:52,663 --> 00:43:55,393
Now I can repay you, Julie child,
for everything.
580
00:43:55,466 --> 00:43:59,596
Julie, this is so... It's so tremendous,
it'll put both of us on top.
581
00:44:02,272 --> 00:44:04,035
What? What, Julie?
582
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:08,835
Okay, okay, both of you meet me.
583
00:44:08,912 --> 00:44:11,540
Maybe we will need
somebody like McCleary.
584
00:44:11,615 --> 00:44:14,175
Steve, Charlie says
he has information on the murder.
585
00:44:14,251 --> 00:44:18,654
- He's awfully excited about something.
- About two quarts full, probably.
586
00:44:19,890 --> 00:44:21,881
Yeah, Charlie, what's up?
587
00:44:22,726 --> 00:44:25,695
I wanted Julie to have this,
but she insists you be on in it.
588
00:44:25,763 --> 00:44:27,663
I mean you be in on it.
589
00:44:27,965 --> 00:44:30,297
- What's the matter, Charlie?
- No.
590
00:44:31,368 --> 00:44:34,462
- What? You're not sore, are you?
- No, go away!
591
00:44:36,006 --> 00:44:38,099
What? What have I got?
592
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:40,939
I've got the Lonely Heart Killer for you,
that's what!
593
00:44:41,011 --> 00:44:44,777
Gee, Charlie, that's great.
You getting him crocked so he'll confess?
594
00:44:44,848 --> 00:44:48,807
I haven't got him. I know who he is.
595
00:44:54,858 --> 00:44:55,950
What?
596
00:44:59,563 --> 00:45:03,465
Yes, I'm in a saloon.
I'm in Heeney's. But I'm not drunk.
597
00:45:04,034 --> 00:45:07,128
I've just taken the hottest story
of the century out of hock, and I'm gonna...
598
00:45:08,038 --> 00:45:11,064
He's really flying tonight.
See what your 10 bucks did?
599
00:45:11,141 --> 00:45:15,009
Stop treating him like some
weak-minded child. Listen to what he's got.
600
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:19,482
- He's not this excited for nothing.
- You know what he's got? The DTs.
601
00:45:19,616 --> 00:45:21,675
Charlie Barnes, tanked to the eyeballs,
602
00:45:21,752 --> 00:45:24,880
says he just took the Lonely Heart
murder solution out of hock.
603
00:45:26,056 --> 00:45:29,583
Hello, Charlie?
Still there? Let's start all over again.
604
00:45:30,294 --> 00:45:34,788
Listen, you mental midget. The only reason
I'm calling the <i>Express</i> is Julie Allison.
605
00:45:34,865 --> 00:45:37,732
Before I'd give this story
to an insolent young pup like you,
606
00:45:37,801 --> 00:45:39,792
I'd take it to the <i>Daily Leader!</i>
607
00:45:39,870 --> 00:45:42,304
Charlie's mad now.
Gonna sell it to the <i>Leader.</i>
608
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:46,069
- Hang up on the drunken slob.
- Julie? She just left.
609
00:45:46,477 --> 00:45:48,570
I guess we'll just have to read your story
in the <i>Leader</i> tomorrow.
610
00:45:48,645 --> 00:45:50,772
- So long, pal.
- Give me that.
611
00:45:51,815 --> 00:45:53,077
- Hello? Hello?
- Don't be silly, Julie.
612
00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:55,141
He'll just keep you up all night
listening to his fairytales.
613
00:45:55,219 --> 00:45:59,349
- Where was he calling from?
- Bellevue psycho ward, I think he said.
614
00:46:00,257 --> 00:46:01,747
Your 10 bucks.
615
00:47:13,697 --> 00:47:15,460
- Keep this for me, Heeney.
- Why, sure, Charlie.
616
00:47:15,532 --> 00:47:17,056
A couple hours.
617
00:47:17,868 --> 00:47:20,359
One more, Heeney. One for the road.
618
00:48:05,215 --> 00:48:06,739
Hello, Charlie.
619
00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:13,617
Mark. I thought you were still down
at the Bowery.
620
00:48:15,692 --> 00:48:18,024
I hear you got a story, Charlie.
621
00:48:18,195 --> 00:48:20,060
Where'd you hear that?
622
00:48:20,597 --> 00:48:25,364
- Isn't that what you told McCleary?
- Why, I was just schmoozing him, I...
623
00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:28,295
Lining him up for a little touch.
624
00:48:28,372 --> 00:48:31,432
I gave you some money.
What did you do with it?
625
00:48:31,775 --> 00:48:33,333
You didn't, by any chance,
find a pawn ticket
626
00:48:33,410 --> 00:48:36,379
- mixed in with the money, did you, Charlie?
- Pawn ticket? Why, I...
627
00:48:36,446 --> 00:48:40,177
Did you use the money
to get the story out of hock, Charlie?
628
00:48:41,218 --> 00:48:44,585
You've got something that belongs to me.
Where is it?
629
00:48:45,389 --> 00:48:47,220
You were on the way to the <i>Leader</i>
with some evidence.
630
00:48:47,291 --> 00:48:49,725
Where is it, Charlie? Where is it?
631
00:49:01,905 --> 00:49:04,738
It's a wonderful story, isn't it, Charlie?
632
00:49:05,509 --> 00:49:07,909
You wanted to be a big man, Mark.
633
00:49:08,745 --> 00:49:12,476
This will make you famous
beyond your most ambitious dreams.
634
00:49:13,884 --> 00:49:18,412
Great story?
I've waited all my life for a story like this.
635
00:49:19,456 --> 00:49:23,483
Well, you've got it, Charlie.
But you're not going to write it.
636
00:49:27,130 --> 00:49:30,622
You're crazy, Mark.
Twenty years you've covered the news.
637
00:49:30,701 --> 00:49:33,761
Seen the bright boys try this. It never works.
638
00:49:56,493 --> 00:49:59,587
We just heard about Charlie Barnes.
Rotten deal.
639
00:50:00,163 --> 00:50:04,293
It's hard when it's someone like Charlie
you've known for 22 years.
640
00:50:04,401 --> 00:50:06,164
I knew him 25 years.
641
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:10,167
I never expected to see him
laying on a slab in this place.
642
00:50:10,507 --> 00:50:15,001
Is that right, Doc? Was he found
in an alleyway across from the <i>Daily Leader?</i>
643
00:50:15,078 --> 00:50:17,205
- Steve...
- Yes, that's right.
644
00:50:17,447 --> 00:50:20,439
The <i>Daily Leader.</i> He had a story!
645
00:50:20,517 --> 00:50:23,509
But he was taking your clever,
insolent, fresh-guy advice
646
00:50:23,587 --> 00:50:27,216
- and giving it to the <i>Leader!</i>
- He was drunk, Julie. How could I know...
647
00:50:27,290 --> 00:50:29,656
Charlie Barnes never got so drunk
he didn't know a story!
648
00:50:29,726 --> 00:50:33,492
Or that he'd try to peddle
a phony tip to a newspaper! But you...
649
00:50:33,563 --> 00:50:35,394
You couldn't bother listening to him!
650
00:50:35,465 --> 00:50:38,798
You and that newsprint hero of yours,
Mark Chapman.
651
00:50:39,269 --> 00:50:41,032
You couldn't expect us to believe
that Charlie Barnes
652
00:50:41,104 --> 00:50:43,129
had any real information
on the murder, Julie.
653
00:50:43,206 --> 00:50:45,231
We still don't know that he did.
654
00:50:45,308 --> 00:50:49,711
If you and that stone-hearted, glory seeking,
"I am the great Mark Chapman"
655
00:50:49,780 --> 00:50:51,771
had thrown Charlie
the miserable crumb of respect
656
00:50:51,848 --> 00:50:54,510
of just listening to him, he'd be alive today!
657
00:50:54,584 --> 00:50:58,748
Julie, maybe you're right.
Maybe it is partly my fault Charlie's dead.
658
00:50:58,822 --> 00:51:01,882
I'm sorry. Really sorry. But what can I do?
659
00:51:02,392 --> 00:51:06,123
Don't go soft! Show Chapman
you're a chip off the old block.
660
00:51:06,596 --> 00:51:08,655
Have him give Charlie a fancy funeral.
661
00:51:08,732 --> 00:51:11,997
Great headline.
"The <i>Express</i> buries its cast-offs."
662
00:51:12,436 --> 00:51:14,097
It'll sell papers!
663
00:51:27,350 --> 00:51:31,912
Kenny, rewrite that one paragraph, will you?
Allison had a bad night. Yeah.
664
00:51:32,289 --> 00:51:35,087
I just got yesterday's figures
from circulation, Mark.
665
00:51:35,158 --> 00:51:38,491
Six hundred and ninety-six thousand.
You're moving up there.
666
00:51:38,562 --> 00:51:41,292
Looks as though it's going to cost
the <i>Express</i> some bonus money before long.
667
00:51:41,364 --> 00:51:44,765
Quicker than you can say,
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Stockholder Rawley!"
668
00:51:44,835 --> 00:51:46,666
We're only starting,
Mr. Madison, only starting.
669
00:51:46,736 --> 00:51:48,260
That's the spirit!
670
00:51:48,338 --> 00:51:50,272
When you get to the editor's chair,
remember one thing.
671
00:51:50,340 --> 00:51:54,743
You're a hero with a lifetime job,
as long as the circulation is rising.
672
00:51:55,045 --> 00:51:59,379
- What have you got there?
- Something that will keep circulation rising.
673
00:51:59,716 --> 00:52:01,581
Charlie Barnes' story.
674
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:04,378
What are you talking about?
675
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:06,820
Charlie wasn't near the <i>Daily Leader</i>
by accident, Mark.
676
00:52:06,890 --> 00:52:08,790
He had something to print.
677
00:52:08,859 --> 00:52:11,419
I couldn't find it in his effects
at the morgue this morning,
678
00:52:11,495 --> 00:52:15,932
but I found it at Heeney's bar,
the joint Charlie phoned from last night.
679
00:52:16,233 --> 00:52:19,134
Half a pawnshop ticket was still on the bag.
680
00:52:19,236 --> 00:52:21,431
Pete's Hock Shop. I checked it.
681
00:52:21,505 --> 00:52:24,838
Charlie came in the pawnshop last night
with a claim check.
682
00:52:24,908 --> 00:52:27,536
Said he was unhocking it for a friend.
683
00:52:28,478 --> 00:52:31,743
Well, what's in the bag?
Miss Lonely Heart's name and address?
684
00:52:32,916 --> 00:52:36,477
Better than that, Mark.
Much better than that.
685
00:52:38,054 --> 00:52:40,579
A picture of the guy who killed her.
686
00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:52,362
A picture?
You can't even see the guy's face!
687
00:52:52,435 --> 00:52:54,596
What's the matter, Mark?
This is the first real lead we've got.
688
00:52:54,671 --> 00:52:56,263
The way you talked,
I thought we had it all sewed up.
689
00:52:56,339 --> 00:52:59,604
Sure, it's a lead, but it's a thin one.
How much does this give us?
690
00:52:59,676 --> 00:53:04,773
Well, we're certain the dame had a husband.
They were married in 1931 in Connecticut.
691
00:53:05,248 --> 00:53:09,048
- The husband's the guy who killed her.
- How do you make that?
692
00:53:09,419 --> 00:53:11,580
The ring mark on her finger
must have been a wedding ring.
693
00:53:11,655 --> 00:53:14,055
The inscription inside
could have identified him.
694
00:53:14,124 --> 00:53:16,388
And he grabbed the pawn ticket
figuring she'd hocked some belongings
695
00:53:16,459 --> 00:53:18,893
- that might peg him.
- Makes sense.
696
00:53:19,396 --> 00:53:22,194
Charlie got the pawn ticket from the killer.
697
00:53:22,265 --> 00:53:25,701
He must have been with him sometime,
someplace, yesterday.
698
00:53:25,769 --> 00:53:28,329
A lot of people
could have seen them together, right?
699
00:53:28,405 --> 00:53:29,770
Could have.
700
00:53:31,141 --> 00:53:33,609
Splash this picture
on the front page tonight.
701
00:53:33,677 --> 00:53:35,975
Offer a reward for information.
702
00:53:39,149 --> 00:53:41,674
"Lonely Heart Killer strikes again."
703
00:53:43,153 --> 00:53:45,246
When you write the story,
say that Barnes was working on this case
704
00:53:45,322 --> 00:53:46,346
undercover for the <i>Express.</i>
705
00:53:46,423 --> 00:53:49,620
He got too close to the killer
and died in the line of duty.
706
00:53:49,693 --> 00:53:50,887
Mark, I don't know, it...
707
00:53:50,961 --> 00:53:54,863
Nobody can deny it. It'll help sell papers.
We'll offer $1,000.
708
00:53:55,232 --> 00:53:58,360
Look, kid, don't pin your hopes
on anybody being able
709
00:53:58,435 --> 00:54:02,030
to spot the guy from this.
Unless they got x-ray eyes.
710
00:54:02,339 --> 00:54:04,034
I'm sure Charlie connected
the guy in the picture
711
00:54:04,107 --> 00:54:08,601
with the bird who gave him the pawn ticket.
I'm going to fine-tooth the Bowery myself.
712
00:54:08,678 --> 00:54:11,374
It's even money
that's where Charlie ran into our man.
713
00:54:11,448 --> 00:54:12,972
Good luck, kid.
714
00:54:44,314 --> 00:54:47,875
- Well, I got them for you, McCleary.
- Good work, Heeney.
715
00:55:05,368 --> 00:55:09,634
Well, this does it. I'll never touch
another drop the rest of my life.
716
00:55:17,547 --> 00:55:19,515
'Course some of them
been sucking on the bottle all night,
717
00:55:19,582 --> 00:55:21,516
but they can still stand up.
718
00:55:21,584 --> 00:55:24,747
- They all knew Charlie?
- Yeah, they all knew him.
719
00:55:25,088 --> 00:55:29,081
If you give McCleary here
any bum information, I'll brain you.
720
00:55:29,793 --> 00:55:31,818
And I might even do worse.
721
00:55:31,961 --> 00:55:35,522
No more free shots
when you're seeing little red spiders.
722
00:55:35,999 --> 00:55:40,095
How many of you boys saw Charlie Barnes
the day he was killed? Raise your hands.
723
00:55:40,170 --> 00:55:44,197
All right, raise your mitts,
them that seen Charlie day before yesterday.
724
00:55:44,274 --> 00:55:45,366
Good.
725
00:55:48,478 --> 00:55:50,446
- Where did you see him?
- See who?
726
00:55:50,513 --> 00:55:54,279
- This guy must be used to talking to mirrors.
- Charlie Barnes.
727
00:55:54,351 --> 00:55:58,253
I seen him come out of a joint
where he flopped in the morning.
728
00:56:00,824 --> 00:56:02,815
You, where'd you see him?
729
00:56:03,460 --> 00:56:05,826
- Humpty O'Dougal's saloon.
- What time?
730
00:56:05,895 --> 00:56:10,389
In the afternoon. Late in the afternoon.
Charlie had a nice little bun on.
731
00:56:10,934 --> 00:56:11,992
Was he with anybody?
732
00:56:12,068 --> 00:56:14,036
With anybody?
Sure, he was with somebody.
733
00:56:14,104 --> 00:56:16,834
Charlie never drank by himself
if he had a little cash on him.
734
00:56:16,906 --> 00:56:19,966
- Well, do you know the guy he was with?
- Certainly I know who he was with.
735
00:56:20,043 --> 00:56:23,206
- Well, who was it?
- Me. He sprung me three slugs.
736
00:56:29,686 --> 00:56:32,678
When did you see him?
When did you see him?
737
00:56:36,159 --> 00:56:38,491
- This morning.
- Throw him out of here.
738
00:56:38,561 --> 00:56:41,086
- Wait a minute!
- What are you talking about?
739
00:56:41,164 --> 00:56:44,691
- Now, is there any more jokers in the crowd?
- I seen him.
740
00:56:45,735 --> 00:56:49,136
Yeah? Well, go on. Where'd you see him?
741
00:56:51,074 --> 00:56:53,770
On the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
742
00:56:53,843 --> 00:56:57,472
- Go on, go on.
- Nothing. He was working a sucker.
743
00:56:58,014 --> 00:57:01,177
- Giving him the pally act, that's all.
- Now think hard.
744
00:57:01,251 --> 00:57:04,243
Do you remember the sucker?
Do you remember what he looks like?
745
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,754
- Maybe.
- What do you mean, "Maybe"?
746
00:57:06,890 --> 00:57:10,826
- Maybe for 50 bucks.
- Why you...
747
00:57:11,995 --> 00:57:15,362
Do you think you could remember
for 1,000 bucks?
748
00:57:17,267 --> 00:57:19,258
Who could tell who he is?
749
00:57:19,469 --> 00:57:22,461
Can you describe
the man you saw Charlie with?
750
00:57:22,906 --> 00:57:26,273
Do I get $1,000 if I do?
751
00:57:26,443 --> 00:57:28,968
You do. If and when we find the guy.
752
00:57:29,379 --> 00:57:32,212
- Sure, I can describe him.
- Well, go ahead.
753
00:57:34,918 --> 00:57:37,819
- You paying the reward?
- No, but my boss is.
754
00:57:38,655 --> 00:57:41,647
- Then I'll describe it to him.
- Okay. Come on.
755
00:57:41,791 --> 00:57:44,385
Rush this over to the composing room.
756
00:57:44,761 --> 00:57:48,492
Kenny, see if you can figure out
a heading for that rubbish.
757
00:57:48,698 --> 00:57:50,723
Connie! Connie, take this.
758
00:57:58,475 --> 00:57:59,806
Wait here.
759
00:58:13,623 --> 00:58:15,318
Look, Lieutenant,
just refer the captain to me.
760
00:58:15,391 --> 00:58:18,189
I'll tell him he's cropping at the best
homicide man he ever had on the force.
761
00:58:18,261 --> 00:58:20,491
If he doesn't know that,
he's deaf, dumb and blind.
762
00:58:20,563 --> 00:58:22,861
Yeah, never mind the malarkey, Chapman!
763
00:58:22,932 --> 00:58:24,900
The next time
you people pull a stunt like this,
764
00:58:24,968 --> 00:58:27,596
I'll throw both you and McCleary in the can!
765
00:58:28,271 --> 00:58:31,832
Okay, Lieutenant, okay.
I give you my word. Goodbye, pal.
766
00:58:33,042 --> 00:58:35,340
Davis is screaming because we gave him
the suitcase only a half hour
767
00:58:35,411 --> 00:58:36,878
before he read it in the <i>Express.</i>
768
00:58:36,946 --> 00:58:39,437
Well, I've got something
that ought to make him happy again.
769
00:58:39,516 --> 00:58:40,744
Not another suitcase?
770
00:58:40,817 --> 00:58:44,776
A guy who can identify the man
Charlie got the pawn ticket from.
771
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:51,384
Hey, Bailey. Come in here.
772
00:59:00,103 --> 00:59:03,561
He wouldn't describe the guy to me.
He needed the boss.
773
00:59:06,643 --> 00:59:08,304
You the boss?
774
00:59:09,379 --> 00:59:13,611
Yeah, and don't waste my time.
Where'd you see this guy with Charlie?
775
00:59:15,818 --> 00:59:18,446
Down the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
776
00:59:19,956 --> 00:59:22,151
You say you can describe him?
777
00:59:41,844 --> 00:59:44,335
Well, go on. What did he look like?
778
00:59:54,057 --> 00:59:55,786
Stand up, will you?
779
01:00:04,467 --> 01:00:07,766
Yeah, just how I figured.
780
01:00:08,805 --> 01:00:10,432
You figured what?
781
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,272
He was your size,
782
01:00:17,313 --> 01:00:18,678
your build.
783
01:00:19,115 --> 01:00:21,345
Could have been as old as you.
784
01:00:21,951 --> 01:00:26,217
- Is that all?
- All you asked me was to describe him.
785
01:00:26,723 --> 01:00:30,625
That was no description!
That could fit a million guys in this town.
786
01:00:30,693 --> 01:00:34,060
- Even me.
- Well, how about the reward?
787
01:00:34,130 --> 01:00:38,123
Here, take this down to the cashier
and pick yourself up five bucks.
788
01:00:38,201 --> 01:00:41,261
- Show him where it is, Steve.
- Come on, Bailey.
789
01:01:30,186 --> 01:01:31,517
Hey, Baxter, where's Julie?
790
01:01:31,587 --> 01:01:34,078
She came in this morning,
banged this out on her typewriter,
791
01:01:34,157 --> 01:01:36,216
and told me to give it to Chapman.
792
01:01:36,292 --> 01:01:38,385
- What is it?
- Her resignation.
793
01:01:38,461 --> 01:01:42,261
I figured I'd hang onto it a day or so.
Maybe she'd cool off.
794
01:01:42,632 --> 01:01:46,261
I'm sure glad you did.
I'll take care of it for you, okay?
795
01:01:49,238 --> 01:01:50,762
Baxter, thanks.
796
01:02:00,883 --> 01:02:03,647
- Hello, Mrs. Allison.
- Well, hello, Steve. Come in.
797
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,051
Thank you.
798
01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:14,458
I have a pot of coffee in the kitchen.
I'd better see to it.
799
01:02:14,664 --> 01:02:16,564
Can I say a few words to you?
800
01:02:16,632 --> 01:02:19,533
Without getting hit with a table
or something?
801
01:02:19,602 --> 01:02:22,230
Speak your piece and get it over with.
802
01:02:22,338 --> 01:02:25,535
I just got rocked
with a bad piece of news, Julie.
803
01:02:25,742 --> 01:02:28,040
I heard about your resignation.
804
01:02:28,444 --> 01:02:31,845
Well, I can't imagine
why you'd shed any tears over it.
805
01:02:31,914 --> 01:02:33,211
Well, for what it's worth,
806
01:02:33,282 --> 01:02:36,308
your resigning knocks the props
out of a lot of things for me.
807
01:02:37,754 --> 01:02:40,655
That couldn't have come
from Steve McCleary.
808
01:02:41,791 --> 01:02:44,851
Okay, pass it. But I didn't figure
your burn at Chapman and me
809
01:02:44,927 --> 01:02:48,454
would be bigger than your wanting
to do something about Charlie's murder.
810
01:02:49,632 --> 01:02:52,829
Don't start playing me
for a hollow-headed female now, Steve.
811
01:02:52,902 --> 01:02:55,871
Your only interest, and Chapman's,
in Charlie's death is exploiting it
812
01:02:55,938 --> 01:02:59,601
- for all the circulation jumping it's worth!
- Julie, I'm not digging on a story now
813
01:02:59,675 --> 01:03:03,577
just for the school-boy bang of seeing
my name over a sensational yarn.
814
01:03:03,646 --> 01:03:06,672
Yeah, that's right, I had to get hit pretty hard
before I smartened up.
815
01:03:06,749 --> 01:03:09,309
But now I'm leveling
on the Charlie Barnes business.
816
01:03:13,422 --> 01:03:18,257
Well, if I can believe what I'm hearing,
this certainly is a different McCleary.
817
01:03:19,328 --> 01:03:20,955
I've been working night and day.
818
01:03:21,030 --> 01:03:24,227
All I've done is run the local leads
to a dead end.
819
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:29,294
There's only one gimmick left to follow.
This picture, the marriage in Connecticut.
820
01:03:29,472 --> 01:03:33,067
It's odd the person who married them
hasn't recognized it.
821
01:03:33,142 --> 01:03:36,077
Unless he's dead or hasn't seen the picture.
822
01:03:36,579 --> 01:03:40,310
Yeah, I thought of that angle, too.
But it's a million-to-one shot.
823
01:03:40,383 --> 01:03:43,716
A guy would have to be an elephant
to remember a face after 21 years.
824
01:03:44,787 --> 01:03:48,314
Tell him about the elephant we met
on Fifth Avenue, about four years ago.
825
01:03:48,391 --> 01:03:50,791
We were walking along the street when,
right out of the blue,
826
01:03:50,860 --> 01:03:53,021
a complete stranger stopped me.
827
01:03:53,095 --> 01:03:56,656
It turned out to be the little preacher
who married Julie's father and me
828
01:03:56,732 --> 01:03:59,724
in Portland, Maine, 23 years before!
829
01:04:01,404 --> 01:04:06,603
- And he actually was able to recognize you?
- And I'd put on a little weight since then.
830
01:04:07,210 --> 01:04:10,270
They say a New Englander
seldom forgets a face.
831
01:04:10,980 --> 01:04:13,813
Crazy odds, but what can we lose?
832
01:04:15,051 --> 01:04:16,416
Yeah, get this picture
833
01:04:16,485 --> 01:04:19,750
to every churchman, judge
and justice of the peace in Connecticut.
834
01:04:19,822 --> 01:04:24,259
- It's certainly worth trying.
- It's a big job. Compiling lists,
835
01:04:24,527 --> 01:04:26,620
- checking out leads.
- It can be done.
836
01:04:26,696 --> 01:04:28,687
The two of us could handle it, Julie.
837
01:04:29,732 --> 01:04:32,667
Well, I'd like to, Steve, but I've resigned.
838
01:04:32,735 --> 01:04:36,637
And I'd sooner drop dead
than ask Mark Chapman for my job back.
839
01:04:43,312 --> 01:04:45,803
- You dog!
- It never got past Baxter.
840
01:04:46,883 --> 01:04:48,908
A list of churches in each town
is no problem.
841
01:04:48,985 --> 01:04:52,318
The judges and JPs we can get
from the state legal directory in Hartford.
842
01:04:52,388 --> 01:04:54,720
Yeah, you start packing.
Enough for a couple of weeks.
843
01:04:54,790 --> 01:04:56,451
I'm going to the office
and get the lab boys started
844
01:04:56,525 --> 01:04:57,787
on knocking out a few hundred circulars.
845
01:04:57,860 --> 01:05:00,260
But suppose Chapman says no
to my working with you on it?
846
01:05:00,329 --> 01:05:03,492
Why should he? Anyway, I'm not going
to tell him anything until we're ready to go.
847
01:05:03,566 --> 01:05:04,658
Tonight sometime.
848
01:05:04,734 --> 01:05:08,898
Mom, you think it's safe for me to travel
out of state at night with this young man?
849
01:05:08,971 --> 01:05:12,702
Just so he doesn't misconstrue
the meaning of "freedom of the press."
850
01:05:12,775 --> 01:05:16,336
Hey, you wonderful woman.
I'll check with you for dinner.
851
01:05:21,417 --> 01:05:23,544
Steve, this is shot-in-the-dark stuff.
852
01:05:23,619 --> 01:05:26,452
Mark, more rabbit-brained ideas than this
have paid off.
853
01:05:26,522 --> 01:05:28,956
Your hottest lead is right here in town
where the murders were committed.
854
01:05:29,025 --> 01:05:32,290
Yeah, our hottest lead was in town,
but it dried up like a puddle in July.
855
01:05:32,361 --> 01:05:33,589
You're looking for a mental marvel,
856
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:36,154
a guy who can recognize somebody
he'd seen for 15 or 20 minutes
857
01:05:36,232 --> 01:05:38,757
at a wedding ceremony
he performed 21 years ago.
858
01:05:38,834 --> 01:05:41,394
How do we know he only saw them
for 15 or 20 minutes?
859
01:05:41,470 --> 01:05:44,200
Maybe they were members of his church
or were married by a judge
860
01:05:44,273 --> 01:05:46,298
or a justice in their own town.
861
01:05:46,375 --> 01:05:48,605
Steve, you're off
on a needle-in-a-haystack hunt.
862
01:05:48,678 --> 01:05:51,078
You can find a needle in a haystack
if you look long enough.
863
01:05:51,147 --> 01:05:53,775
You don't think I'm gonna let you
hang around up there indefinitely, do you?
864
01:05:53,849 --> 01:05:55,680
You won't have to. A week, probably.
865
01:05:55,751 --> 01:05:58,982
Julie Allison's coming along to help me.
It's all arranged.
866
01:05:59,055 --> 01:06:02,456
It's all arranged. And that five grand reward.
You arranged that, too?
867
01:06:02,525 --> 01:06:06,586
No, you did, or will.
Mark, what's eating you?
868
01:06:07,096 --> 01:06:09,257
I'm only checking out every possible angle.
869
01:06:09,332 --> 01:06:11,061
Kid, I don't want you to beat your brains out.
870
01:06:11,133 --> 01:06:13,033
We can get just so much
out of this Lonely Hearts story,
871
01:06:13,102 --> 01:06:16,128
and then we'll start easing it off
and let it die a natural death.
872
01:06:16,205 --> 01:06:19,368
Let it die? Mark, we let Charlie Barnes die!
873
01:06:20,509 --> 01:06:22,909
The least we can do now is to find his killer.
874
01:06:23,679 --> 01:06:26,443
You're the guy who pounded into me,
"Never give up till you've got the story."
875
01:06:26,515 --> 01:06:28,449
Well, I'm not quitting on this one
until I've licked it.
876
01:06:28,517 --> 01:06:30,985
You can reach me
at the Lenox Hotel in Hartford.
877
01:06:56,579 --> 01:06:57,978
Long distance.
878
01:06:58,047 --> 01:06:59,844
I want some information.
879
01:06:59,915 --> 01:07:01,906
A telephone number
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
880
01:07:01,984 --> 01:07:05,181
The name is Hacker. He's a judge.
I don't remember his first name.
881
01:07:05,254 --> 01:07:07,222
You wish to place a call to this party?
882
01:07:07,289 --> 01:07:10,383
No, no. Not yet, that is.
I just want to get his telephone number.
883
01:07:10,459 --> 01:07:12,188
<i>One moment, please.</i>
884
01:07:16,799 --> 01:07:20,235
Hello? The Middlebury operator
has no listing for anyone by that name.
885
01:07:21,037 --> 01:07:22,436
There isn't?
886
01:07:23,305 --> 01:07:25,296
Middlebury's a small town.
Will you ask the operator
887
01:07:25,374 --> 01:07:26,966
if she knows anything
about Judge Hacker at all?
888
01:07:27,043 --> 01:07:29,273
Is he deceased, moved away, or what?
889
01:07:29,345 --> 01:07:31,074
<i>One moment, please.</i>
890
01:07:35,518 --> 01:07:38,510
Hello? The local operator
has been in Middlebury for five years
891
01:07:38,587 --> 01:07:40,646
and knows no one
by the name of Judge Hacker.
892
01:07:40,723 --> 01:07:42,384
That's all the information she can give us.
893
01:07:43,959 --> 01:07:45,153
Thanks.
894
01:08:32,908 --> 01:08:35,308
No, Reverend,
I'm afraid that's not our couple.
895
01:08:36,412 --> 01:08:39,040
You may be positive, Reverend,
but you're mistaken.
896
01:08:39,115 --> 01:08:41,515
The woman in the photo we sent you
is dead.
897
01:08:41,584 --> 01:08:43,916
Thank you for calling, Reverend.
898
01:08:46,288 --> 01:08:48,153
You don't have to tell me.
899
01:08:48,224 --> 01:08:50,852
It's written all over
your bright and shining face.
900
01:08:50,926 --> 01:08:53,759
A 190-mile drive
to have a whack-head tell me
901
01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:56,423
that both the people in our circular
died a year ago.
902
01:08:57,766 --> 01:09:01,896
New Englanders remember, all right.
Every face is familiar to them.
903
01:09:04,406 --> 01:09:07,671
Hello? Just a minute, here's Steve.
904
01:09:08,110 --> 01:09:10,340
It's that man again. Every day.
905
01:09:10,412 --> 01:09:13,313
Does he think we'll keep it a big fat secret
if we find something?
906
01:09:15,284 --> 01:09:16,649
Yeah, Mark.
907
01:09:18,487 --> 01:09:20,819
Nothing but an aching back
and some interesting meetings
908
01:09:20,890 --> 01:09:22,824
with jelly-brained screwballs.
909
01:09:22,892 --> 01:09:26,555
You've had enough time, Steve. Ten days.
Admit it's a dud. Come on home.
910
01:09:26,629 --> 01:09:29,325
Two more days, Mark.
We'll stick it out to the end of the week.
911
01:09:29,899 --> 01:09:33,391
Get out of the haystack. It's easier
to find the needles at the scene of the crime.
912
01:09:33,469 --> 01:09:34,936
I'll see you.
913
01:09:35,771 --> 01:09:39,832
Two more days. I don't even know myself
why we're sticking around.
914
01:09:41,043 --> 01:09:42,772
Anything there that sounds good?
915
01:09:44,180 --> 01:09:47,946
I'll read you a fair sample.
From a J.P. Waterbury.
916
01:09:49,084 --> 01:09:52,451
"Send me $5,000
and I will tell you names of people."
917
01:09:52,655 --> 01:09:54,646
A new head I'll send him.
918
01:09:55,658 --> 01:09:58,320
I've got a headache.
I think I'll lie down for a while.
919
01:09:59,728 --> 01:10:01,855
Why don't you lie down here?
920
01:10:07,269 --> 01:10:08,998
I'll go to my room.
921
01:10:15,344 --> 01:10:17,744
McCleary. Okay, put him on.
922
01:10:18,681 --> 01:10:20,808
A guy calling from Franklin.
923
01:10:21,283 --> 01:10:23,308
Hello? Yeah, that's right.
924
01:10:25,955 --> 01:10:27,149
You do, huh?
925
01:10:29,258 --> 01:10:31,590
- You've got what?
- What is it?
926
01:10:31,827 --> 01:10:35,456
- Just a minute.
- I have the other picture right before me!
927
01:10:35,864 --> 01:10:41,131
Yes, I married them July 19th, 1931,
over in Middlebury.
928
01:10:42,438 --> 01:10:44,702
A funny thing. What's that?
929
01:10:48,143 --> 01:10:49,872
Judge Elroy Hacker.
930
01:10:50,379 --> 01:10:52,404
We'll be there in two hours, Judge.
931
01:10:52,481 --> 01:10:54,244
Sit tight
and keep your mouth shut about this.
932
01:10:54,316 --> 01:10:55,374
Bye.
933
01:10:55,584 --> 01:10:59,247
Go on, get packed.
He's liable to drop dead on us or something.
934
01:11:55,110 --> 01:11:58,102
For a man who can sit there
and watch his success increasing daily,
935
01:11:58,180 --> 01:12:00,011
you're looking much too troubled, Mark.
936
01:12:00,082 --> 01:12:03,210
It's just that these minor problems
always seem to require major thinking.
937
01:12:03,285 --> 01:12:06,379
Well, perhaps we can balance
the unpleasant with the pleasant.
938
01:12:06,455 --> 01:12:09,390
That conversation we had the other day
about your buying company stock.
939
01:12:09,458 --> 01:12:10,823
- Yeah?
- I just thought I'd tell you,
940
01:12:10,893 --> 01:12:14,920
- I think we can swing that.
- That's fine, Mr. Madison, just great.
941
01:12:14,997 --> 01:12:17,659
Well, there doesn't seem to be any doubt
you'll reach that bonus figure.
942
01:12:17,733 --> 01:12:19,064
It'll be pleasant having you as a partner,
943
01:12:19,134 --> 01:12:20,863
- so to speak, in the paper, Mark.
- Thanks.
944
01:12:20,936 --> 01:12:22,801
- Good night.
- Good night.
945
01:14:17,953 --> 01:14:19,147
Sorry to keep you this late, Mark,
946
01:14:19,221 --> 01:14:21,621
but we got hit with a mess of traffic
on the way in.
947
01:14:21,690 --> 01:14:23,157
Your wire sounded important.
948
01:14:23,225 --> 01:14:26,456
I found that needle,
or rather the man with the needle.
949
01:14:26,528 --> 01:14:29,725
Judge Elroy Hacker,
Mark Chapman, Managing Editor.
950
01:14:29,865 --> 01:14:32,925
- Glad to meet you, Judge.
- How do, Mr. Chapman?
951
01:14:33,902 --> 01:14:35,893
- Sit down, Judge.
- Thanks.
952
01:14:36,772 --> 01:14:38,672
Does the judge's needle sew anything up?
953
01:14:38,740 --> 01:14:41,231
Everything but knotting the thread
at the end.
954
01:14:41,310 --> 01:14:42,937
I mean the noose.
955
01:14:44,046 --> 01:14:45,240
What have you got?
956
01:14:45,314 --> 01:14:48,511
The identity of Mrs. Lonely Heart
and her husband.
957
01:14:49,117 --> 01:14:51,711
Judge Hacker married them
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
958
01:14:51,787 --> 01:14:54,688
Their names are Charlotte and George Grant.
959
01:14:58,827 --> 01:14:59,953
Did you get that, Mark?
960
01:15:00,028 --> 01:15:03,327
The name of the Lonely Heart Killer
is George Grant.
961
01:15:03,699 --> 01:15:05,530
Yeah, I heard you. Go on.
962
01:15:05,601 --> 01:15:08,229
Strike two. The judge is sure
he can identify George Grant
963
01:15:08,303 --> 01:15:10,203
when he sees him again.
964
01:15:10,806 --> 01:15:13,969
You see, I took this picture myself.
965
01:15:14,710 --> 01:15:17,338
A little extra service
the judge gave his bridal couples.
966
01:15:17,412 --> 01:15:20,711
Yes. I'd send them a print
and put one in my own scrapbook.
967
01:15:20,782 --> 01:15:22,579
The judge even furnished
the "just married" sign.
968
01:15:22,651 --> 01:15:24,118
Judge, you said
you married them in Middlebury,
969
01:15:24,186 --> 01:15:27,883
- but Steve found you in Franklin.
- I retired seven years ago.
970
01:15:27,956 --> 01:15:31,323
I'm partial to fishing,
so I moved over on the coast.
971
01:15:32,027 --> 01:15:34,928
I only happened
to see your circular by chance,
972
01:15:34,997 --> 01:15:37,830
in the office of a justice friend of mine.
973
01:15:40,602 --> 01:15:43,571
I always said you were born
in a field of shamrocks.
974
01:15:43,639 --> 01:15:47,769
Sure. The McClearys raised their kids
on nothing but rabbits' feet.
975
01:15:48,410 --> 01:15:52,471
Judge, what makes you so sure
you can identify George Grant today?
976
01:15:54,383 --> 01:15:57,250
Well, mainly because right after
I took that wedding picture,
977
01:15:57,319 --> 01:16:00,482
this Grant got vexed at his wife
about something.
978
01:16:01,590 --> 01:16:05,651
I can remember his voice, snapping at her.
His face getting red...
979
01:16:07,696 --> 01:16:11,598
I know what's in your bonnet, Mark.
We still have to find George Grant.
980
01:16:11,667 --> 01:16:14,363
A needle's nothing but a hunk of steel
if you've got nothing to sew.
981
01:16:14,436 --> 01:16:15,801
We just need the thread.
982
01:16:15,871 --> 01:16:18,203
I figure we'll pick that up
right here in New York.
983
01:16:18,273 --> 01:16:21,367
When the police line up all the local
George Grants for the judge to look over.
984
01:16:23,745 --> 01:16:27,416
That's Julie. I dropped her off
at headquarters to tell Davis what we've got.
985
01:16:29,251 --> 01:16:32,618
Friend Davis is steaming
like a pressure cooker, as I said he would.
986
01:16:32,688 --> 01:16:33,746
He'll simmer down.
987
01:16:33,822 --> 01:16:36,484
So will your
lining up the George Grants idea.
988
01:16:36,558 --> 01:16:40,255
Davis says he'll do nothing until you turn
Judge Hacker over to the police.
989
01:16:40,329 --> 01:16:42,763
- Steve, you can't hold...
- Relax, doll. He'll see the judge later.
990
01:16:42,831 --> 01:16:44,924
Not tonight he won't.
The judge is our exclusive beat.
991
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,230
Nobody gets to him
till our story breaks tomorrow.
992
01:16:47,302 --> 01:16:49,031
I don't trust cops.
993
01:16:51,607 --> 01:16:52,904
You and Julie start writing the story.
994
01:16:52,975 --> 01:16:56,308
I'll put the judge in a side-street hotel
where nobody will get to him.
995
01:16:56,378 --> 01:16:57,902
Come on, Judge.
996
01:17:01,316 --> 01:17:03,648
I'll just wait for Mr. McCleary.
997
01:17:04,987 --> 01:17:06,921
He was going to put me up at his place.
998
01:17:06,989 --> 01:17:08,581
That's the first place
the wolves will start baying.
999
01:17:08,657 --> 01:17:10,921
You better come with me, Judge.
1000
01:17:10,993 --> 01:17:15,157
No, I don't think it would be wise
for me to go with you, Mr. Grant.
1001
01:17:15,731 --> 01:17:18,325
- Mister...
- Chapman, Judge. Not Grant.
1002
01:17:18,734 --> 01:17:21,294
You'd better give your brain a rest.
You're gonna need it.
1003
01:17:21,370 --> 01:17:22,735
He may be Chapman now,
1004
01:17:22,804 --> 01:17:27,104
but 21 years ago, when I married them,
he was George Grant.
1005
01:17:27,509 --> 01:17:29,534
And he was a newspaperman.
1006
01:17:30,379 --> 01:17:34,145
I remember now. He said he worked
on the paper over in Waterford.
1007
01:17:34,216 --> 01:17:37,549
Waterford, Connecticut, was that town
I couldn't think of.
1008
01:17:37,619 --> 01:17:40,110
But I knew I'd remember that voice.
1009
01:17:40,422 --> 01:17:44,586
His face... You've changed.
But it's the same man.
1010
01:17:45,060 --> 01:17:48,086
You remember that $5,000 reward, though,
don't you, Judge?
1011
01:17:48,163 --> 01:17:51,428
Judge. This is impossible.
You're getting confused.
1012
01:17:51,633 --> 01:17:54,864
He sounds to me as though
he knows exactly what he's saying.
1013
01:17:54,936 --> 01:17:57,837
This is idiotic!
Screwball, crackbrained lunacy!
1014
01:17:57,906 --> 01:18:01,364
And that's just the kind of a witness
the judge is going to make, too, Steve.
1015
01:18:01,443 --> 01:18:03,240
The police have that specimen
of hair and flesh
1016
01:18:03,311 --> 01:18:05,905
found under Mrs. Grant's fingernails.
1017
01:18:06,348 --> 01:18:09,283
I think we'd better get in touch with Davis.
1018
01:18:09,551 --> 01:18:11,212
No phone, Allison.
1019
01:18:21,797 --> 01:18:26,359
Julie pegged you right off.
But me, still wet behind the ears McCleary.
1020
01:18:27,235 --> 01:18:29,328
I went for the sleigh ride.
1021
01:18:29,971 --> 01:18:35,409
I practically built the pedestal for Chapman.
The great newspaperman. The great guy.
1022
01:18:36,778 --> 01:18:41,545
There ought to be a special Pulitzer Prize
for the world's biggest sucker, McCleary.
1023
01:18:41,616 --> 01:18:44,141
Just another one of your stupid slobs!
1024
01:18:44,219 --> 01:18:45,948
Things happen, Steve,
and then there's just no end.
1025
01:18:46,021 --> 01:18:47,921
Killing my wife was an accident.
1026
01:18:47,989 --> 01:18:51,823
And Charlie. Charlie Barnes,
who never hurt a fly in his life.
1027
01:18:52,294 --> 01:18:54,057
A washed-up drunken rummy
who had nothing to live for
1028
01:18:54,129 --> 01:18:55,790
against a career
that was just reaching its prime.
1029
01:18:55,864 --> 01:18:59,322
- It wasn't an even exchange.
- You've got a great career ahead of you now.
1030
01:18:59,401 --> 01:19:02,302
That's all down the drain.
I gotta to make different plans now.
1031
01:19:02,370 --> 01:19:04,736
You should have started running
when you got my wire, sucker!
1032
01:19:04,806 --> 01:19:06,501
I gambled.
The stakes are big enough, you don't run
1033
01:19:06,575 --> 01:19:10,443
unless there's nothing else left to do.
Don't try it, kid.
1034
01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:30,190
Steve!
1035
01:19:50,986 --> 01:19:53,011
We're just too close, kid.
1036
01:19:57,292 --> 01:20:02,059
I figured I'd find you birds here.
Still playing me for a pushover, aren't you?
1037
01:20:04,032 --> 01:20:06,227
Steve, you remember how I told you
1038
01:20:06,301 --> 01:20:09,464
that someday you'd run into
a really great story?
1039
01:20:09,905 --> 01:20:11,736
Well, this one ought to do it, huh?
1040
01:20:12,474 --> 01:20:14,374
Yeah, this one will do.
1041
01:20:14,976 --> 01:20:16,603
I'll give you the lead on it.
1042
01:20:17,846 --> 01:20:18,972
"The elusive Lonely Heart Killer,
1043
01:20:19,047 --> 01:20:20,708

- All right, drop it, Chapman.

Mark Chapman, editor of the New York Express, has made the newspaper a success by pursuing sensationalism and yellow journalism. His protégé is ace reporter Steve McCleary, while successful feature writer Julie Allison is frustrated by the paper's drift towards raking the muck. One night, during a lonely hearts dance organized by the Express, Chapman's estranged wife confronts him and demands that he visit her hotel room. It is revealed that Chapman's real name is George Grant, and he abandoned his wife decades earlier, changing his identity. When Chapman rebuffs her efforts toward reconciliation, she threatens to publicize his real identity. Chapman tries to restrain her, accidentally killing her in the scuffle.
Chapman attempts to cover up his crime, posing the scene to look like an accident. The police initially believe she slipped in the bathtub, but McCleary begins covering the case, and his reporting reveals it was a murder. McCleary is eager to run the story, and Chapman must acquiesce to avoid suspicion. The "mystery" murderer is dubbed the "Lonely Hearts Killer." Charlie Barnes, an alcoholic former star reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner, stumbles upon the dead woman's suitcase, in which he finds wedding photographs showing Chapman (then Grant) and his wife. He realizes that Chapman must be the killer. Barnes contacts Allison, who has been kind to him, attempting to give her the scoop, but Chapman overhears the conversation. He intercepts and kills Barnes before he can reveal the truth to a rival publication. This act only increases public interest in the story of the Lonely Hearts Killer, much to Chapman's frustration.
Assisted by Allison, McCleary continues to track down clues and leads. Eventually he locates another photo from Chapman/Grant's wedding, although the groom is shot in profile and it is not obvious that it is Chapman. McCleary and Allison travel to Connecticut to find the judge who married the murdered woman and the man in the photograph. After a week of searching, they identify the judge who conducted the marriage. They bring him back to the newspaper building, where he identifies Chapman as the groom and thus the Lonely Hearts Killer. McCleary is incredulous, but Allison puts the pieces together and the desperate Chapman pulls a gun on them. The police arrive, and Chapman cannot bring himself to shoot McCleary. Instead, he gives McCleary his blessing to publish all details of his crimes and then commits suicide by cop.

1
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,468
I know how you feel, lady.
2
00:01:52,545 --> 00:01:54,445
Just take your time
and tell me what happened.
3
00:01:54,514 --> 00:01:57,915
He had this meat ax, her blood all over it.
4
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:03,187
My brother-in-law had it.
Blood all over his hands, all over his shirt.
5
00:02:03,389 --> 00:02:05,687
I can't talk about it, Officer.
6
00:02:05,859 --> 00:02:08,851
I know it's rough, lady,
but I have to have the facts.
7
00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:14,298
He comes staggering out in the hall.
He says, "I did it. Call the cops."
8
00:02:15,101 --> 00:02:16,125
And then he...
9
00:02:16,202 --> 00:02:19,467
Snap it up, Captain.
Lieutenant Davis just blew in.
10
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,303
What's he going to do, Officer?
11
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:25,003
- I'm not a cop, lady.
- But you said...
12
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:27,610
All I said was,
"I had to ask you some questions."
13
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,079
I'm from the <i>Express.</i>
14
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:33,984
You made me go through all that.
Why, you're not decent! You're not human!
15
00:02:34,754 --> 00:02:38,121
- Sorry, lady. All part of the job.
- Well, well, Lieutenant Davis.
16
00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:42,252
- Say, this must have been a homicide.
- Hi, Lieutenant. Wait till you hear it.
17
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:45,092
- A messy one.
- You keep pulling stuff like this, McCleary,
18
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:50,193
and so help me, if it's the last thing I do,
I'll run you in! Now, that's a warning!
19
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:18,591
This is KL-75263. Get me Plaza-52099.
20
00:03:19,532 --> 00:03:24,401
You know, that wasn't a bad-Iooking dame.
Too bad the guy used an ax on her head.
21
00:03:25,271 --> 00:03:27,796
Spoiled some pretty pictures for me.
22
00:03:28,908 --> 00:03:31,877
Hey, Mark, have you put on the gloves
with those stockholders yet?
23
00:03:32,178 --> 00:03:34,203
Hi. No, I'm just taping up my hands.

<i>Well, you can tell them we got</i>

Yeah. Biddle grabbed all he could
of the body.
29
00:03:45,124 --> 00:03:49,185
A dame, very messy.
Got a great hysterical close-up of her sister.
30
00:03:49,529 --> 00:03:52,828
I'll even write the caption for you.
"I seen him with a bloody meat ax."

00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:54,592
Good. With that, I can sell papers.
32
00:03:54,667 --> 00:03:57,295
Give it to rewrite and we'll get it in the final.
Hold on. What do you want?
33
00:03:57,370 --> 00:04:00,237
Mr. Madison called down
from the boardroom again, Mr. Chapman.
34
00:04:00,306 --> 00:04:02,831
You hear that?
I'm letting them stew in their financial juices.
35
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:05,067
Well, don't overdo it. I like this job.
36
00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:08,273
You've never gone backwards
with me before, have you, kid?
37
00:04:08,348 --> 00:04:13,217
If we leave here, we'll bounce into
a bigger setup. I'll see you when you get in.
38
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:21,417
As one of the largest stockholders
in this corporation,
39
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:24,463
I would like to know
why the <i>New York Express,</i>
40
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:27,465
once a distinguished
and respected newspaper,
41
00:04:29,869 --> 00:04:33,600
has been allowed to become
a cheap and depraved publication.
42
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:38,835
Why has an editor been allowed
to turn a decent journal into this?
43
00:04:39,679 --> 00:04:41,613
A disgusting tabloid!
44
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,749
Pandering to the passions
of the base morons!
45
00:04:45,151 --> 00:04:47,847
I demand an explanation, Frank Madison.
46
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:54,750
Well, Mrs. Rawley, I...
In defense of Mark Chapman, I...
47
00:04:54,827 --> 00:04:58,263
Mr. Madison, I'd like to handle
my own defense, if you don't mind.
48
00:04:58,331 --> 00:04:59,855
Just as you say, Mark.
49
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:05,428
Mrs. Rawley, I think you
and the other stockholders should know
50
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:07,496
that your publisher hired me
as executive editor
51
00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:09,837
with full rights to transform this newspaper.
52
00:05:10,677 --> 00:05:14,443
He did this for a very simple reason.
He was fed up with operating at a loss.
53
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:18,611
Why did Mr. Madison hire me?
Well, he felt it was time that the <i>Express</i>
54
00:05:18,685 --> 00:05:21,745
buried its antiquated negative approach,
such as this.
55
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:25,756
But who won?
56
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:29,920
And become a positive newspaper.
We're in a business, ladies and gentlemen,
57
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:34,695
a business of satisfying the hunger
of the public for thrills, escape and news.
58
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:39,271
Here's where I took over
your highly respectable white elephant.
59
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:42,172
Instead of headlining a UN story,
we gave them a vice story.
60
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:44,368
Obviously, they went for it.
61
00:05:44,544 --> 00:05:46,239
We played down
the presidential appointments
62
00:05:46,312 --> 00:05:48,644
and concentrated
on the "Gorilla Man" killings.
63
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:51,576
Here's what happened.
Thirty or forty thousand new readers.
64
00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:54,245
Why, in a year, circulation's up over 110%.
65
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,686
And when we reach 750,000,
66
00:05:56,756 --> 00:06:00,886
we'll have to pay you a big bonus.
I'm not sure I like this at all.
67
00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:02,761
Did you like the dividend check
you got last month
68
00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:04,194
for the first time in 12 years?
69
00:06:04,263 --> 00:06:07,323
I don't like this, sir.
What kind of journalism is this?
70
00:06:07,967 --> 00:06:10,026
A newspaper
staging a cheap, vulgar display
71
00:06:10,103 --> 00:06:13,266
in order to attract
the stupid slobs of the city!
72
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,865
The thousands who will attend
the Lonely Heart dance tonight,
73
00:06:15,942 --> 00:06:18,467
these poor, friendly, unhappy people
whom you call stupid slobs,
74
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:20,569
buy and read this newspaper.
75
00:06:20,646 --> 00:06:22,944
Their loyalty helped put that dividend check
in your pocket.
76
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:26,712
And I suppose you think it's a public service
when one of your reporters is arrested
77
00:06:26,786 --> 00:06:30,745
for withholding information from the police?
Or whatever it was.
78
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:34,150
This, what's his name, McCleary person,
79
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,352
and the things he writes about!
I think he should be fired!
80
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:39,295
This McCleary person
is the best young reporter I've seen
81
00:06:39,365 --> 00:06:41,060
in 25 years of newspapering.
82
00:06:41,134 --> 00:06:43,193
Before I'll fire him,
I'll throw the <i>Express</i> up for grabs
83
00:06:43,269 --> 00:06:45,669
and go to work for somebody
who appreciates real talent on a paper!
84
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:47,262
- Mark, I'm sure...
- One last thing.
85
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:50,798
The only contract I have here is a handshake
between Mr. Madison and myself.
86
00:06:50,877 --> 00:06:53,141
Now, unless you give me full rights
to run this paper the way I want,
87
00:06:53,212 --> 00:06:55,271
I'll quit after the final edition today.
88
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:58,784
Now, I'm sorry I can't stay with you
any longer. I have a newspaper to get out!
89
00:07:06,092 --> 00:07:10,426
- Your story ready, Miss Allison?
- I'll have the rest in a minute, Joey.
90
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:13,831
Mr. Chapman?
91
00:07:16,502 --> 00:07:17,696
Thanks.
92
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:26,937
McCleary story in yet, Bax?
93
00:07:32,485 --> 00:07:34,885
How'd you make out in the torture chamber?
94
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:40,450
This is good. Give it a big play.
Mac'll do a byline follow-up tomorrow.
95
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:43,825
- What are these?
- Pics for that Lonely Heart spread.
96
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:45,820
- Junk them.
- But I...
97
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:47,092
Take Peters off the Lonely Hearts.
98
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:48,997
He's photographing these slobs
like a lineup in a soup kitchen
99
00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:50,660
instead of panting for a red-hot romance.
100
00:07:50,736 --> 00:07:52,533
- Okay. But I...
- Yeah?
101
00:07:52,939 --> 00:07:54,566
Yes, Mr. Madison.
102
00:07:58,211 --> 00:08:00,611
- Get an ax, smear it with blood.
- Yeah? Whose?
103
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,171
Yours. If you can't spare any,
use chocolate syrup or something.
104
00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:07,652
Chocolate? Goody! When I'm through,
I can make a plate of fudge. Drop in.
105
00:08:08,721 --> 00:08:12,157
So, you still insist a woman having 20 kids
is worth a feature article?
106
00:08:12,225 --> 00:08:15,422
Hi, genius.
I think it's worth a whole front page.
107
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:18,391
It scares me, this maternal instinct of yours.
108
00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:20,955
Decided where you're taking me
to dinner tonight?
109
00:08:23,736 --> 00:08:25,966
If Chapman hasn't been canned,
110
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,169
you're going to dine with the worst loser
who ever paid off a bet.
111
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:31,608
Then you'd better stash some
bicarbonate soda in your bag, princess.
112
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:32,837
You're gonna need it.
113
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:35,437
Don't count your steaks
before you hear the sizzle.
114
00:08:37,617 --> 00:08:39,608
Well, what's the word? Are you ex or still?
115
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,880
They're not dumb enough
to throw out a winner.
116
00:08:41,954 --> 00:08:44,650
Congratulations. I knew you'd stick
their stocks right back in their teeth.
117
00:08:44,724 --> 00:08:46,555
I told them if they fired me,
McCleary would quit, too,
118
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:49,060
and then they'd be in real trouble.
119
00:08:49,128 --> 00:08:50,527
I wouldn't put it past them
to try and dump you
120
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:53,929
to get out of paying the bonus that's
staring them right in their glassy eyes.
121
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,331
I've got news for you.
122
00:08:55,401 --> 00:08:57,528
I'm going to cut you in
for a piece of that bonus.
123
00:08:57,603 --> 00:08:59,298
What do you want me to do, retire?
124
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:00,566
I thought we could make a deal with Madison
125
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,698
to buy some of the company's stock.
126
00:09:01,774 --> 00:09:03,901
You know, kid,
we could end up owning this newspaper.
127
00:09:03,976 --> 00:09:06,536
- Well, that's the best offer I've had all week.
- I'll make you another one.
128
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:09,080
I'll take you to dinner tonight.
You pick the spot.
129
00:09:10,349 --> 00:09:14,012
I'll make you a better offer.
My date's buying. She lost a bet.
130
00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:17,544
The Grand Duchess from Vassar again?
The way I feel, I can put up with anything.
131
00:09:17,623 --> 00:09:19,818
- I'm more worried, can she put up with you?
- Get her ready.
132
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:24,124
We've got to be at the ballroom at 8:00.
There's no time for nose powder.
133
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:32,597
Don't break your ears with that grin.
I can see. He's still in.
134
00:09:33,005 --> 00:09:36,532
- No loud whoops of joy, baby?
- Well, I tried everything.
135
00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:39,770
I crossed my fingers,
said prayers, burned candles.
136
00:09:39,845 --> 00:09:43,713
- Who's your tailor, princess?
- Let's get out of here.
137
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,075
I've had to look at that Chapman face all day.
138
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:50,714
I've got to cover his fiasco tonight
and suffer some more.
139
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:53,987
At least just looking at you for an hour
will be a welcome change.
140
00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:57,496
- Lf you're taking me to dinner, let's go.
- Taking him?
141
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,195
Wait a minute.
Our bet was between you and me.
142
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:03,463
Our bet was loser buys dinner.
We didn't say for how many.
143
00:10:03,536 --> 00:10:06,994
- Why, you double-crossing...
- I knew you'd be a good loser.
144
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:10,807
Someday remind me to tell you about girls.
145
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:20,248
You talk a couple of these suckers
into getting married.
146
00:10:20,319 --> 00:10:21,581
These Lonely Heart slobs got the gimmies,
147
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:23,519
and we've got plenty to give them
from the advertisers.
148
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:25,284
If you talk one couple
into getting married by 9:00,
149
00:10:25,358 --> 00:10:27,883
by 12:00 we'll have a dozen lined up
for wedded bliss.
150
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,155
- McCleary, the Brooklyn cupid.
- McCleary, the human yes man.
151
00:10:30,229 --> 00:10:31,594
Hey, Julie!
152
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:34,155
- Hello, Charlie.
- Charlie.
153
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:38,225
- How are you, Barnes?
- Fine, Mark. You're looking fit. McCleary.
154
00:10:38,571 --> 00:10:39,595
Thank you.
155
00:10:39,672 --> 00:10:41,799
What goes on? Are you ghosting
Allison's features, Charlie?
156
00:10:41,874 --> 00:10:43,774
No, he's helping me with research
for that series
157
00:10:43,843 --> 00:10:45,640
on historical monuments in New York.
158
00:10:45,711 --> 00:10:47,872
You couldn't pick a better man.
I ought to know.
159
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:50,006
Remember those old days, Mark?
160
00:10:50,082 --> 00:10:53,813
Like the time I cut the phone cables
at the Lindbergh trial?
161
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:55,520
You scooped me. Almost cost me my job.
162
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:59,957
Scooped you, the wire services,
scooped everybody. That was the year...
163
00:11:00,026 --> 00:11:02,358
That was the year you won the Pulitzer Prize.
164
00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:06,826
Listen, Mark.
This stuff I've been doing for Julie, it's...
165
00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:13,200
- Mark, I think I'm ready to go back to work.
- That's fine. I'm glad to hear it, Charlie.
166
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,164
How about it, Mark? How about a job?
167
00:11:19,645 --> 00:11:21,510
- Why not?
- Thanks.
168
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:25,447
- Charlie, I'm so proud of you!
- This is gonna take a little juggling.
169
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:26,849
I won't be able to do anything right away.
170
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:28,978
Look, Charlie, I'll call you.
We're late, we gotta rush.
171
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:31,785
Sure, Mark, I know how it is,
always on the go.
172
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:35,258
- Coffee in the morning? Skinners?
- Sure thing, Julie.
173
00:11:40,199 --> 00:11:41,257
All the time I thought you were a...
174
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:43,699
- How much did you give him?
- $10. He earned it.
175
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:44,929
Ten bucks?
176
00:11:45,004 --> 00:11:47,336
- Buy a lot of whiskey.
- Did you see that rum-dumb?
177
00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:49,806
- Come midnight, he'll be in the gutter.
- Now, wait a minute.
178
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:51,274
He's an alky, Julie.
You shouldn't give an alky
179
00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:52,367
more than a buck at a time.
180
00:11:52,445 --> 00:11:55,414
You're liable to kill him.
Ten bucks, he can take a bath in it.
181
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:58,314
But... Well, this job
will change everything for him.
182
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:01,319
Job? I wouldn't have him in my office,
let alone on my staff.
183
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:04,117
In you go, sucker. Where are you going?
184
00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:07,085
I'm not going to let him go off believing this.
185
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:10,617
- Do you want to break his heart?
- Do I? What do you think you're doing?
186
00:12:10,696 --> 00:12:13,358
I'm giving him hopes and dreams.
A rummy like that lives on dreams.
187
00:12:13,432 --> 00:12:17,061
- He's happy. Why spoil it?
- Happy? Happy like your Lonely Hearts,
188
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,798
looking forward to those big romances
they've been promised?
189
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:23,069
- Only Charlie's romance is with a bottle.
- Get in.
190
00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:48,057
Biddle, don't leave that camera at half mast.
Stop goldbricking on the other guys.
191
00:12:48,134 --> 00:12:52,127
I must have got 100 shots already,
Mr. Chapman. My arm's giving out.
192
00:12:52,204 --> 00:12:56,334
You've only started. I want shots of people
from every state. Now start shooting.
193
00:12:58,911 --> 00:13:01,038
How are you doing, princess?
194
00:13:01,147 --> 00:13:04,116
Well, it's an effort,
but I'm trying to keep from screaming.
195
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:06,981
You were a real bundle of laughs
during dinner, too.
196
00:13:07,052 --> 00:13:08,781
Why don't you simmer down now?
197
00:13:08,854 --> 00:13:10,515
You're not so pretty
when your feathers are all ruffled.
198
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:13,183
Don't, Steve. I'm in no mood for levity.
199
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:17,491
- Do you feel like dancing?
- Do you figure that'll smooth my feathers?
200
00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:21,691
I've got a great idea for you. Grab yourself
one of these Lonely Heart boys.
201
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:25,066
Tell him you're a club date. Con him.
Get his life history.
202
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:28,903
- And there's your feature for tomorrow.
- Mark Chapman, Junior.
203
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:31,568
It'll sell papers, you left that out.
204
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:34,871
Happy hunting, cupid.
Mustn't let the boss down.
205
00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:38,312
Save at least one dance for me, princess.
206
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:58,034
Every time I aim my lens
at one of these walking zombies,
207
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:01,334
I think of the time
I covered the Miss America contest.
208
00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:03,705
The tears almost start to flow.
209
00:14:06,378 --> 00:14:09,370
From McCleary, you get nothing but service.
Ten minutes before 9:00,
210
00:14:09,448 --> 00:14:13,179
and couple number one. Mary and Joe
met in front of the Arkansas booth.
211
00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:16,221
It was love at first sight, almost. Right?
212
00:14:16,288 --> 00:14:20,349
Well, sure. I'm from Texas,
but I sure love that Arkansas cooking.
213
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,890
- You love her, don't you?
- Well, sure, I reckon so.
214
00:14:23,963 --> 00:14:26,158
- Mary, you love him?
- Yes.
215
00:14:26,966 --> 00:14:31,130
- See, they're crazy about each other.
- Yeah, that's fine. Hey, Edwards.
216
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:33,535
We've got a romance going here.
They're ready for the orange blossoms.
217
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,837
- Well, how do you do? And congratulations.
- Save the teeth for the bandstand.
218
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:38,171
Get up there
and make the big announcement.
219
00:14:38,244 --> 00:14:42,044
Yes, sir, Mr. Chapman.
Come with me, you lucky, lucky people.
220
00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:46,842
Hey, you ain't gonna forget about the bed
with the built-in television set?
221
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:48,614
You'll spend your honeymoon in front of it.
222
00:14:51,624 --> 00:14:55,321
- Nice going, Steve, keep punching.
- I'll get the camera boys up to cover it.
223
00:14:57,129 --> 00:15:01,862
- Did you find a feature to write about yet?
- I haven't, and I don't intend to.
224
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:05,435
This bribing of poor, ignorant dopes
into a public wedding
225
00:15:05,504 --> 00:15:07,665
is cheap, cruel and disgusting.
226
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:10,573
This whole Wild West show is ridiculous,
and I want no part of it.
227
00:15:10,643 --> 00:15:13,305
Miss Allison,
your contract has six months to run.
228
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:17,281
My contract was made with Mr. Madison
before you took over the <i>Express.</i>
229
00:15:17,349 --> 00:15:18,543
If you don't like the way I run the paper,
230
00:15:18,617 --> 00:15:21,245
I have an agreement
that might be satisfactory to both of us.
231
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,811
Take six months' vacation with pay!
232
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:30,286
No, thank you, Mr. Chapman. I'll work it out.
I like my feature writing.
233
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,898
Thinking people like it, too,
234
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:37,561
even though there aren't many of them
buying the <i>Express</i> anymore. Good night!
235
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:43,605
That's it.
236
00:15:50,382 --> 00:15:53,613
<i>Friends, brothers and sisters</i>
<i>in the Lonely Hearts Club.</i>
237
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:55,677
<i>I have wonderful news for you,</i>
238
00:15:55,754 --> 00:15:59,747
<i>living proof that this magnificent club</i>
<i>is more than just a name.</i>
239
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:04,386
<i>But first, how would you like to meet</i>
<i>the great man who created your club?</i>
240
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:11,998
<i>Mr. Mark Chapman,</i>
<i>editor of the</i> New York Express.
241
00:16:12,071 --> 00:16:14,665
<i>Put the spotlight on him, over there!</i>
242
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,782
<i>Now here's the wonderful news.</i>
243
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:37,056
<i>Meet Mary and Joe, two happy people</i>
<i>who came here tonight as total strangers.</i>
244
00:16:37,463 --> 00:16:42,400
<i>They met, they danced, they found love.</i>
<i>They're going to get married!</i>
245
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,474
George?
246
00:16:57,516 --> 00:17:00,041
<i>- As the first couple who fell in love tonight...</i>
- George Grant!
247
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:01,814
<i>...Mary and Joe will receive...</i>
- It is you!
248
00:17:01,887 --> 00:17:03,752
<i>...compliments of the</i> Express...
- Charlotte.
249
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:05,119
<i>... a wedding night in a New York hotel...</i>
250
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:08,921
Finding you here...
I was so sure that you must be dead.
251
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:11,759
George Grant is dead.
252
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:14,259
Yes, I just heard.
253
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,134
- You're the...
- We can't talk here.
254
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:19,901
We can talk at my place, George.
255
00:17:20,806 --> 00:17:23,036
We've got a lot to talk about.
256
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:26,509
Go on out. I'll meet you at the side entrance.
257
00:17:32,785 --> 00:17:35,151
The years have been kinder to you.
258
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:38,621
What is it, 19, 20?
I used to keep track, but I don't...
259
00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:41,716
What's the difference?
Now that you found me, what do you want?
260
00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:57,401
May I?
261
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:07,375
- Come on, quit stalling around.
- What was it they called you at the ball?
262
00:18:07,453 --> 00:18:08,977
- Mark?
- Chapman.
263
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:15,755
When did you change your name, George?
Right after you left me?
264
00:18:17,062 --> 00:18:18,962
So I wouldn't find you?
265
00:18:19,631 --> 00:18:21,292
You knew I was so crazy about you
266
00:18:21,366 --> 00:18:24,028
I'd look and look and look,
didn't you, George?
267
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,697
Come on, get to it. What do you want?
268
00:18:27,739 --> 00:18:32,574
You're still in a hurry, aren't you?
That's the thing I remember best about you.
269
00:18:32,878 --> 00:18:37,645
The fellow who always ran and never walked.
Had to get places fast!
270
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,749
And you got places, didn't you, George?
271
00:18:44,323 --> 00:18:46,883
Here, you need some money?
Here's some for now.
272
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,860
Money? The payoff, George?
273
00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:54,497
How much? How much for each year?
274
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:58,633
How much for the agony
and the heartbreak and the fear?
275
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:03,141
- Charlotte, cut the ham act.
- This could be for the doctor bill, see?
276
00:19:06,578 --> 00:19:10,173
I was 20 years younger then,
took things more seriously.
277
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:14,142
I can't imagine how much.
278
00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:18,087
You're boring me now, like you always did.
279
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:20,388
People always bored you
280
00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:23,155
when you didn't have
any more use for them, didn't they, George?
281
00:19:23,228 --> 00:19:25,025
Bores and nuisances, I get rid of them.
282
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:27,497
Yeah, the same gentle way
you got rid of me.
283
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:28,692
My lawyer will get in touch with you.
284
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:31,702
He'll arrange a quiet divorce
and generous alimony.
285
00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:34,671
You're an important man now,
aren't you, George?
286
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:37,038
Editor of the <i>New York Express.</i>
287
00:19:38,977 --> 00:19:43,346
I never thought I'd be the wife of the editor
of a big New York newspaper.
288
00:19:43,415 --> 00:19:47,112
You're not, and don't get any ideas
about forcing yourself.
289
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:51,020
You've got nothing to gain by refusing me
a divorce now like you did 20 years ago.
290
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:56,759
I was young then and so foolishly in love.
I wanted so much to hold onto you.
291
00:19:57,496 --> 00:20:00,021
I made all of my mistakes when I was young,
and you were the biggest one.
292
00:20:00,098 --> 00:20:02,794
I fell for an attractive hunk of flesh.
293
00:20:04,169 --> 00:20:07,627
"Hold me." You didn't try to hang on.
You strangled me.
294
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,936
I'd smother to death with you.
295
00:20:15,747 --> 00:20:19,808
Turnabout's fair play.
When you walked out on me, I died inside.
296
00:20:20,352 --> 00:20:23,116
When I walk out of here, you're gonna die.
297
00:20:23,188 --> 00:20:27,852
Everything you worked for, grabbed for,
ruined people to get, it's all gonna die!
298
00:20:27,926 --> 00:20:29,393
You're a neurotic screwball!
299
00:20:29,461 --> 00:20:33,955
I'm gonna spread your story all over town.
Mark Chapman, the great editor!
300
00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:37,829
Wife deserter!
Living under a false name for 20 years.
301
00:20:39,137 --> 00:20:42,334
What else did you cover up
living under a phony name?
302
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:44,637
Your publishers are gonna love this.
303
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:49,044
And the other papers, they'll cut you
to ribbons with this information!
304
00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,470
Hi, honey, let me have the city room.
305
00:23:33,812 --> 00:23:37,179
This is Elkins.
If you need me, I'm over in Skinners.
306
00:23:38,316 --> 00:23:41,808
What? Having breakfast. Yeah, breakfast.
307
00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:53,323
Yes, Julie, after that fortunate
and historical meeting with Mark yesterday,
308
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:57,629
I had considerable difficulty
wooing the fickle Morpheus.
309
00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:01,939
That explains it.
Those bleeding eyes today.
310
00:24:02,474 --> 00:24:05,341
Well, I did have a couple
with the boys down below.
311
00:24:05,410 --> 00:24:08,277
A sort of celebration, and then farewell.
312
00:24:11,049 --> 00:24:13,574
You should have left them long ago, Charlie.
313
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:15,916
Any man who was big enough
in his day to rate that,
314
00:24:16,555 --> 00:24:20,389
a place in Skinner's Hall of Fame,
is still too big for Dead-End Street.
315
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:25,028
No regrets, Julie. My temporary alliance
with the denizens of the Bowery
316
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:29,863
has provided me with a deeper insight
into the whys and wherefores of mankind.
317
00:24:35,674 --> 00:24:38,006
A proven medical fact,
when the human system
318
00:24:38,076 --> 00:24:40,840
has been lengthily nurtured
on alcoholic stimulants,
319
00:24:40,912 --> 00:24:44,871
any abrupt cessation of same
will result in a negative reaction.
320
00:24:45,016 --> 00:24:46,381
Absolutely.
321
00:24:47,652 --> 00:24:52,385
But I'm tapering off. I'll be a firmly-rooted
passenger on the old water wagon
322
00:24:52,524 --> 00:24:54,856
by the time Mark's ready for me.
323
00:24:57,295 --> 00:25:01,561
Charlie, don't bet everything
on Mark Chapman.
324
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:06,666
He won't let me down.
First time I felt ready, I asked him for a job,
325
00:25:06,938 --> 00:25:10,032
and what happened?
He offered me one, didn't he?
326
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:15,173
- Mr. Lonely Heart.
- Compliments of the <i>Express,</i> Myrtle.
327
00:25:15,747 --> 00:25:18,545
- I see you read. You stick with the radio.
- Yeah.
328
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:20,744
Hey, McCleary,
I read that rag of yours by accident.
329
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:23,287
Yeah, me, too.
From ax murder to Ionely hearts.
330
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:25,653
What are you trying to prove,
you're versatile or something?
331
00:25:25,724 --> 00:25:27,885
What are you gentlemen
reading our rag for?
332
00:25:27,959 --> 00:25:30,427
Trying to find out
what's happening that's news?
333
00:25:30,495 --> 00:25:32,929
Good morning, kiddies. What's the word?
334
00:25:35,066 --> 00:25:36,624
Silly, that's the word.
335
00:25:36,701 --> 00:25:38,635
Still a heaping bunch of joy,
aren't you, princess?
336
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:43,663
Lonely Hearts Ball. Journalism has certainly
changed since the old days.
337
00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:47,302
What happened to you last night?
Pulled a fast fade on me.
338
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:50,712
- Don't tell me you actually missed me?
- I needed protection.
339
00:25:50,782 --> 00:25:53,250
Some of our love-hungry subscribers
got mixed up.
340
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:56,014
They were offering me deep-freezes
and vacuum cleaners.
341
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:59,318
- I'm surprised you refused.
- How do you know I did?
342
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:02,849
Certainly heavy coverage
on the unrequited passion set.
343
00:26:03,261 --> 00:26:06,924
Our love and romance edition, Charlie.
Even the crossword puzzle.
344
00:26:06,998 --> 00:26:08,966
But nothing from the Allison corner.
345
00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:12,335
Not interested in romance, Julie?
346
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:16,465
Not the kind that blossoms
on free gas stoves and television sets.
347
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:21,235
- About that Lonely Heart gag, I've got a...
- Steve, on the radio.
348
00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:27,652
- Julie. Hi, Charlie.
- Hi, Biddle.
349
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:31,086
Police call. Dead dame in a flat
on Third Avenue. Are you interested?
350
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:33,090
Well, she'd probably be a cheerful change.
351
00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:36,685
I'm still getting the icebox treatment
from the female on my left.
352
00:26:36,761 --> 00:26:40,162
After them scarecrows I shot last night,
I figure my luck's gotta change.
353
00:26:40,231 --> 00:26:43,428
Even dead, this dame's bound
to have more glamour.
354
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:45,467
Let's give her a look.
355
00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:48,801
Thanks for the coffee, kitten.
356
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:03,785
Another scarecrow. I'm batting goose eggs.
357
00:27:05,323 --> 00:27:07,848
Dames have got to make trouble
even when they die, don't they, pal?
358
00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:11,384
Yeah, water downstairs and water upstairs.
359
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:14,531
Probably wanted a room
with a swimming pool.
360
00:27:14,966 --> 00:27:16,866
Hey, Davis, what are you doing here?
361
00:27:16,935 --> 00:27:21,031
I just wanted to see if I couldn't get
to one of our calls before you did.
362
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:22,471
This isn't a homicide?
363
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:24,531
We got a new man
on the beat here, McCleary.
364
00:27:24,609 --> 00:27:26,167
He's built like you between the ears.
365
00:27:26,244 --> 00:27:29,975
He saw a hole in the back of the dame's head
and figured she was slugged.
366
00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:31,515
What's your guess, Lieutenant?
367
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:33,949
She put the hole
in the back of her head herself?
368
00:27:34,019 --> 00:27:36,783
Yeah, wise-eyes, that's it. That's it exactly.
369
00:27:36,855 --> 00:27:40,291
She slipped in the tub
and opened her skull on a faucet.
370
00:27:40,358 --> 00:27:43,953
- What was the lady's name, Sherlock?
- The landlady says Jane Jones.
371
00:27:44,029 --> 00:27:45,360
- Do you believe it?
- Yeah, I believe it.
372
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:47,762
I'm fresh out of nursery school.
373
00:27:48,466 --> 00:27:52,402
Jane Jones, alias Jane Doe.
Say, Dave, you're really humming.
374
00:27:53,204 --> 00:27:56,401
Look, nuisance, if you so much as make
these bedsprings squeak once again,
375
00:27:56,474 --> 00:28:00,308
- I'll throw you in the tub with the dame.
- Lieutenant, please.
376
00:28:04,616 --> 00:28:08,177
You're wrong, Dave.
She was murdered. Clear as your head.
377
00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:10,347
Murdered for her money.
378
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:13,949
Why, this lady must have spent easily
six or seven dollars a year on clothes.
379
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:15,492
Why don't you go home, McCleary?
380
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,462
There's nothing around here
to interest a big newsman like you.
381
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:27,827
Look, junior, keep your nose
in your own business, or I'll run you in
382
00:28:27,906 --> 00:28:31,137
- for obstruction, suspicion and vagrancy.
- Why, sure, Dave.
383
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:33,837
I just thought there might be something
in here to help identify her.
384
00:28:33,912 --> 00:28:35,243
No suitcase, huh?
385
00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:41,715
- In there, boys.
- Okay, Steve, I got all I need.
386
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:46,957
Thanks, Dave.
387
00:28:49,127 --> 00:28:52,062
- No, not you two again.
- What do you guys do,
388
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:54,758
smell these things
before the police call is even in?
389
00:28:54,833 --> 00:28:57,301
Try to forget your mugs.
There's a lady in the bathroom.
390
00:28:57,368 --> 00:29:00,531
- Yes, so knock before entering.
- Coming through.
391
00:29:10,381 --> 00:29:12,406
- What'd you pinch that for?
- Look familiar?
392
00:29:12,484 --> 00:29:15,544
I had them in front of me all night, didn't I?
393
00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:18,747
Hey, that's off a Lonely Hearts badge!
394
00:29:18,823 --> 00:29:22,554
Yeah. How many pictures
did you and the boys take at the ball?
395
00:29:22,627 --> 00:29:24,925
Three, maybe four hundred. I don't know.
396
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:27,260
Rush the print of Miss Bathtub
through the lab.
397
00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:28,594
Then check it against the others.
398
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:30,964
- See if you can match them up, okay?
- Sure.
399
00:29:31,035 --> 00:29:34,937
- Shouldn't take more than a week.
- Yeah, but I want it done in an hour.
400
00:29:35,006 --> 00:29:36,701
- I'll see you at the office.
- Where are you going?
401
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:39,903
I'm gonna hitch a ride to the morgue.
If you match them, call me.
402
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,674
How about a ride to the morgue, Pete?
403
00:30:04,969 --> 00:30:07,096
Hey, Needle Nellie, anybody home?
404
00:30:07,172 --> 00:30:08,662
Hey, handsome.
405
00:30:09,007 --> 00:30:11,271
- How you doing, sweetheart?
- Doing all right, handsome.
406
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:13,037
Come here and give us a kiss.
407
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,815
- How's business at the morgue, Nellie?
- Dead.
408
00:30:19,551 --> 00:30:21,178
Business is dead.
409
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:25,621
- It's good to see you, handsome.
- Likewise, sweetheart.
410
00:30:25,690 --> 00:30:27,385
A long time between dates.
411
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:30,621
But right now,
I come seeking your expert female advice.
412
00:30:30,695 --> 00:30:34,131
Anybody that's lived as long as me
can give it. Shoot.
413
00:30:34,732 --> 00:30:37,565
Nellie, if you had just one dress
to your name
414
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:39,535
and you'd fastened something onto it
with a safety pin,
415
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:40,969
and maybe you were in a hurry,
416
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,008
would you take time to undo the pin,
or would you rip the whole thing off?
417
00:30:44,075 --> 00:30:46,305
- This is a riddle?
- No, seriously.
418
00:30:46,377 --> 00:30:51,041
Well, if I had 10 dresses and the house
was burning down, I'd still undo the pin.
419
00:30:51,115 --> 00:30:52,639
Any lady would.
420
00:30:53,017 --> 00:30:55,485
That's what I figured.
I just wanted a woman to confirm it.
421
00:30:55,553 --> 00:30:57,453
I love you, Nellie. I love you.
422
00:30:57,522 --> 00:31:00,047
- Where you going, handsome?
- I gotta see the doc.
423
00:31:00,124 --> 00:31:01,955
Maybe I can get you some business, Nellie.
424
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:11,364
Did you get those ringside ducats
I sent you?
425
00:31:11,436 --> 00:31:13,427
Steve! Yeah, it was a great fight.
426
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:15,438
Mishke really tore that Haybelly apart,
didn't he?
427
00:31:15,506 --> 00:31:19,840
Had so much blood spattered on my glasses,
I missed the knockout punch.
428
00:31:20,478 --> 00:31:24,175
Look, Doc,
they just brought in an accidental death.
429
00:31:24,249 --> 00:31:27,047
- They're putting her in the freezer right now.
- So?
430
00:31:27,118 --> 00:31:30,110
So, I'd like you to give her
the onceover for me. An autopsy.
431
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:33,646
Accidents are out of my province.
You know that, Steve.
432
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:35,383
It's going to be
a great World Series this year.
433
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:37,087
Yeah, that it is.
434
00:31:37,528 --> 00:31:41,362
I don't suppose you'd be interested
in viewing the festivities from a box seat?
435
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:47,132
Are you trying to bribe a city official?
436
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:51,135
Right behind first base, Doc.
437
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:11,028
Yeah. Yeah, get some prints ready.
I think we've got our front page.
438
00:32:11,095 --> 00:32:14,792
Well, this is your lucky day. Drop back,
I want you to mark my racing form.
439
00:32:14,866 --> 00:32:16,766
Get the door, will you?
440
00:32:17,368 --> 00:32:20,064
Yeah, and don't forget, I smoke cigars.
441
00:32:20,838 --> 00:32:24,831
- Hey, Steve, let me wipe those off a little.
- Wipe them tomorrow.
442
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:32,008
Will you smile again
if I take you to dinner tonight?
443
00:32:32,083 --> 00:32:34,847
- A little celebration coming up.
- What's the celebration?
444
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:37,649
Another McCleary scoop.
Getting monotonous, isn't it?
445
00:32:37,722 --> 00:32:42,557
That dinner. A two-party celebration,
or are you bringing a friend?
446
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:44,559
Just you and me alone.
447
00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:47,825
I'll smile again.
What are the fragile treasures?
448
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:52,060
Very rare items.
Pictures of a dame with her mouth shut.
449
00:32:53,071 --> 00:32:55,972
- Joey, catch the door, will you?
- All right.
450
00:32:58,676 --> 00:33:01,270
I've been waiting a long time
for a chance to say this.
451
00:33:01,346 --> 00:33:03,439
- Stop the presses!
- Did you get a morning-after story
452
00:33:03,514 --> 00:33:05,004
on any of those couples
we married last night?
453
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:07,483
I got a story from one
of the Lonely Heart Ball guests, all right.
454
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:11,079
But she didn't get married last night.
She got murdered!
455
00:33:19,964 --> 00:33:23,263
- Who is she?
- A Jane Doe. Nobody knows her real name.
456
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:25,996
The police think she slipped in the bathtub
and bashed her head in,
457
00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:30,507
- or they did until a little while ago.
- But you knew better all the time?
458
00:33:30,575 --> 00:33:32,941
After Doc O'Hanlon got through
cutting her up for me.
459
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:36,538
She died between 9:00 and 12:00 last night,
before she went under in the tub.
460
00:33:36,614 --> 00:33:38,479
No water in her lungs.
461
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:40,283
Did he find anything else?
462
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:44,788
Yeah, her killer was a man, middle-aged,
fair complexion. Had brown hair.
463
00:33:45,390 --> 00:33:47,620
O'Hanlon found that
in scraping under her fingernails.
464
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:50,593
You ran into this
just by playing a hunch, huh?
465
00:33:50,661 --> 00:33:53,858
A string from a Lonely Heart badge
was on her dress in the closet.
466
00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:57,628
The badge had been torn off.
I followed through from there.
467
00:34:00,371 --> 00:34:04,364
Well, is this a story,
this Lonely Heart murdered after the ball?
468
00:34:04,575 --> 00:34:06,805
Can you sell papers with this?
469
00:34:10,248 --> 00:34:13,342
Baxter, Jordan, Allison,
get in here right away.
470
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:15,477
They didn't know her name, you said?
471
00:34:15,553 --> 00:34:18,920
Well, she called herself Jane Jones.
How phony can you get?
472
00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:20,014
We've just been struck by lightning.
473
00:34:20,091 --> 00:34:22,025
It's a great follow-up
for the Lonely Hearts Ball.
474
00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:24,118
Tell them about it, Steve.
475
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:30,997
We'll call her Miss Lonely Heart,
no other name. Alone in the city, friendless.
476
00:34:31,536 --> 00:34:34,801
She went to our shindig last night,
hunting for a soul mate.
477
00:34:34,872 --> 00:34:37,363
Maybe she found one, the wrong one.
478
00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:39,872
Anyway, she left early,
and sometime before midnight
479
00:34:39,944 --> 00:34:41,343
she was beaten to death in her room
480
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:44,540
by a brown-haired, middle-aged man
of fair complexion.
481
00:34:44,615 --> 00:34:46,480
A smash follow-up is right.
482
00:34:46,551 --> 00:34:49,247
The killer had a head full of brains.
Good nerves.
483
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,723
He lugged her to the bathroom,
stripped her, tossed the body in the tub.
484
00:34:54,459 --> 00:34:58,520
No. No, he stood the body in the tub.
Aimed, let go!
485
00:34:58,696 --> 00:35:03,190
Bang, her head cracks the faucet.
Almost perfect crime. Ordinary accident.
486
00:35:04,035 --> 00:35:06,936
He's working smartly,
a guy with imagination.
487
00:35:07,004 --> 00:35:10,963
He takes her slip, stockings,
washes them, hangs them up to dry.
488
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,000
He wipes his prints off everywhere.
489
00:35:13,077 --> 00:35:16,274
He starts getting rid of anything
that could identify her.
490
00:35:16,347 --> 00:35:18,907
He took a ring off her,
probably a wedding or engagement ring.
491
00:35:18,983 --> 00:35:22,111
- How do you know that?
- Whitish circle, third finger, left hand.
492
00:35:22,186 --> 00:35:25,587
- O'Hanlon spotted it at the morgue.
- All right, go on, go on.
493
00:35:25,656 --> 00:35:27,954
Well, he grabs any other personal items
that might identify her
494
00:35:28,025 --> 00:35:29,856
and throws them in her suitcase and blows.
495
00:35:29,927 --> 00:35:32,361
- How do you know she's got a suitcase?
- Every dame's got a suitcase.
496
00:35:32,430 --> 00:35:34,022
But there wasn't one
in Miss Lonely Heart's room.
497
00:35:34,098 --> 00:35:35,861
This'll kick up the circulation.
498
00:35:36,701 --> 00:35:40,137
We can make the 5:00 edition exclusive.
Steve can do the lead story.
499
00:35:40,204 --> 00:35:42,263
Jordan, I want three column cuts
of the dame's picture at the ball
500
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:44,433
and the murder photo.
Allison, write me a sob story,
501
00:35:44,509 --> 00:35:46,568
"Miss Lonely Heart
won't be Ionely anymore."
502
00:35:46,644 --> 00:35:47,736
Fine job, Steve.
503
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,303
Sure, it's a great job,
but we're gonna top it.
504
00:35:50,381 --> 00:35:51,439
How?
505
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,513
- Bury her.
- Bury her?
506
00:35:57,555 --> 00:35:59,682
The best story I ever dug up, and he tops it.
507
00:35:59,757 --> 00:36:02,157
By 5:00 tonight, Miss Lonely Heart
will be selling newspapers for us
508
00:36:02,226 --> 00:36:05,923
on every street corner in Manhattan.
Now, go on, get going.
509
00:37:42,126 --> 00:37:43,787
Be seeing you, Humpty.
510
00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:31,269
Look, I've shown you everything in the shop.
That's the last one I've got!
511
00:38:35,513 --> 00:38:36,605
Mark!
512
00:38:39,283 --> 00:38:41,217
- Mark, old boy!
- How are you, Charlie.
513
00:38:41,285 --> 00:38:45,085
What distasteful mission brings you to this
unholy neighborhood, Mark, my friend?
514
00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:46,589
I'm just looking around.
I like to keep my hand in,
515
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,124
even though I am strapped
to a desk right now.
516
00:38:48,192 --> 00:38:50,126
You wouldn't mean you're keeping
your hand in by working
517
00:38:50,194 --> 00:38:51,821
on this Lonely Heart murder,
would you, now, Mark?
518
00:38:51,896 --> 00:38:53,955
I've got a staff to take care of that for me.
519
00:38:54,031 --> 00:38:56,727
You can't kid an old newshound
like me, Mark.
520
00:38:56,801 --> 00:39:00,999
Still following our old formula,
first check the hock shops for a clue?
521
00:39:01,072 --> 00:39:03,336
Didn't wanna tip your hand
to those cops in there, did you?
522
00:39:03,407 --> 00:39:05,637
I tell you I'm not down here on business.
Now stop playing hawkshaw!
523
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:08,770
Let me show you Charlie Barnes
still has the master's touch
524
00:39:08,846 --> 00:39:11,713
- when it comes to following up a lead, Mark.
- Tell me about it later, will you,
525
00:39:11,782 --> 00:39:15,684
- when you come back to work for me?
- You're afraid I'll get drunk and tip the story.
526
00:39:15,753 --> 00:39:18,881
- I'm tapering off, Mark.
- That's fine, Charlie. I'll call you.
527
00:39:18,956 --> 00:39:23,825
Let me work this with you, Mark. I know
this whole district from gutter to rum-heads.
528
00:39:23,894 --> 00:39:26,226
Pete in the pawnshop's
an honored friend of mine.
529
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:27,992
- Yeah.
- I can get him to work with me and...
530
00:39:28,065 --> 00:39:30,898
- Hello, Charlie!
- Go away.
531
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:35,400
- Here, Charlie, here's something to count.
- I don't want a handout, Mark.
532
00:39:35,473 --> 00:39:37,498
- I want to work.
- You can pay me later. I'll call you, Charlie.
533
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:39,338
Mark, let me help...
534
00:40:13,544 --> 00:40:14,704
Hang onto them, Pete.
535
00:40:14,779 --> 00:40:17,873
We'll drop back payday
and look them over again.
536
00:40:25,022 --> 00:40:26,489
Them guys should wear glasses.
537
00:40:26,557 --> 00:40:29,185
They do so much looking,
but never no buying.
538
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:31,125
Get this for me, Pete.
539
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:34,356
Taking something out for a change
instead of putting it in, Charlie?
540
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:37,526
I admit to the novelty of the occasion, Peter.
541
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:50,109
- Hey, you didn't hock this with me.
- Doing a favor for a friend.
542
00:40:52,082 --> 00:40:56,178
Them cops. You know, if someday
they should buy something from me, I'd...
543
00:40:56,253 --> 00:40:59,620
No, that'd be bad. I'd drop dead.
544
00:41:02,226 --> 00:41:06,185
You know, Charlie, I ought to be
in some other kind of business.
545
00:41:06,697 --> 00:41:10,497
You really meet a very poor class of people
in this business.
546
00:41:10,768 --> 00:41:13,259
Not meaning anything personal,
you understand.
547
00:41:13,337 --> 00:41:16,773
But I'm always dealing with people
who are in trouble,
548
00:41:17,274 --> 00:41:21,608
people who gotta hock something.
People who gotta buy something cheap.
549
00:41:24,582 --> 00:41:28,109
I don't like cheap things.
I never did and I never will.
550
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:34,356
I should have been big fur man, maybe,
or big jewelry man.
551
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,651
Then I could deal with rich people.
552
00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:42,554
That's the kind of people
I really prefer to deal with.
553
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:47,694
- Hey! How much is on this ticket?
- Two bucks.
554
00:41:58,249 --> 00:41:59,841
Here, sign here.
555
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:08,424
You know, sometimes they say
even the rich people aren't happy.
556
00:42:08,492 --> 00:42:11,017
But how that could be, I don't know.
557
00:42:12,296 --> 00:42:15,857
Thank you, Peter.
Thank you for being in business!
558
00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:21,433
Thank you very much.
559
00:42:33,517 --> 00:42:35,041
A shot, Heeney.
560
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:38,614
You look like your blood pressure's boiling,
Charlie. What's the matter?
561
00:42:38,689 --> 00:42:40,680
The classic irony of the age, Heeney.
562
00:42:40,758 --> 00:42:43,659
Charlie Barnes, a stewbum,
rocking the newspaper world
563
00:42:43,727 --> 00:42:46,457
like he never did in all his sober days.
564
00:43:00,411 --> 00:43:02,208
- Composing.
- Yes, sir.
565
00:43:04,481 --> 00:43:07,712
Yes. Yes, madam,
I have two answers for you.
566
00:43:08,185 --> 00:43:11,313
First, you shouldn't talk
to strange men in bars.
567
00:43:11,388 --> 00:43:13,982
Second, because he asked you to marry him
568
00:43:14,058 --> 00:43:16,356
then hit you with a pretzel dish
when you refused
569
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:19,191
isn't conclusive proof
he's our Lonely Heart Killer,
570
00:43:19,263 --> 00:43:21,697
but thanks for calling, lady. Bye.
571
00:43:23,334 --> 00:43:26,326
Phony or not,
those tips belong to the police.
572
00:43:26,704 --> 00:43:30,299
When are you going to get rid of the idea
you're wearing an invisible badge?
573
00:43:30,374 --> 00:43:34,140
Julie Allison. Hello, Charlie. How are you?
574
00:43:36,714 --> 00:43:38,181
The Lonely Heart murder?
575
00:43:38,248 --> 00:43:42,844
And you've got to meet me right away.
We have to figure out how to handle this.
576
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,514
I know the killer, and it's dynamite.
577
00:43:46,757 --> 00:43:48,952
Well, Charlie,
that story is really Steve McCleary's.
578
00:43:49,026 --> 00:43:52,587
- I think you'd better talk to...
- No, no, Julie, I want you to have this.
579
00:43:52,663 --> 00:43:55,393
Now I can repay you, Julie child,
for everything.
580
00:43:55,466 --> 00:43:59,596
Julie, this is so... It's so tremendous,
it'll put both of us on top.
581
00:44:02,272 --> 00:44:04,035
What? What, Julie?
582
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:08,835
Okay, okay, both of you meet me.
583
00:44:08,912 --> 00:44:11,540
Maybe we will need
somebody like McCleary.
584
00:44:11,615 --> 00:44:14,175
Steve, Charlie says
he has information on the murder.
585
00:44:14,251 --> 00:44:18,654
- He's awfully excited about something.
- About two quarts full, probably.
586
00:44:19,890 --> 00:44:21,881
Yeah, Charlie, what's up?
587
00:44:22,726 --> 00:44:25,695
I wanted Julie to have this,
but she insists you be on in it.
588
00:44:25,763 --> 00:44:27,663
I mean you be in on it.
589
00:44:27,965 --> 00:44:30,297
- What's the matter, Charlie?
- No.
590
00:44:31,368 --> 00:44:34,462
- What? You're not sore, are you?
- No, go away!
591
00:44:36,006 --> 00:44:38,099
What? What have I got?
592
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:40,939
I've got the Lonely Heart Killer for you,
that's what!
593
00:44:41,011 --> 00:44:44,777
Gee, Charlie, that's great.
You getting him crocked so he'll confess?
594
00:44:44,848 --> 00:44:48,807
I haven't got him. I know who he is.
595
00:44:54,858 --> 00:44:55,950
What?
596
00:44:59,563 --> 00:45:03,465
Yes, I'm in a saloon.
I'm in Heeney's. But I'm not drunk.
597
00:45:04,034 --> 00:45:07,128
I've just taken the hottest story
of the century out of hock, and I'm gonna...
598
00:45:08,038 --> 00:45:11,064
He's really flying tonight.
See what your 10 bucks did?
599
00:45:11,141 --> 00:45:15,009
Stop treating him like some
weak-minded child. Listen to what he's got.
600
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:19,482
- He's not this excited for nothing.
- You know what he's got? The DTs.
601
00:45:19,616 --> 00:45:21,675
Charlie Barnes, tanked to the eyeballs,
602
00:45:21,752 --> 00:45:24,880
says he just took the Lonely Heart
murder solution out of hock.
603
00:45:26,056 --> 00:45:29,583
Hello, Charlie?
Still there? Let's start all over again.
604
00:45:30,294 --> 00:45:34,788
Listen, you mental midget. The only reason
I'm calling the <i>Express</i> is Julie Allison.
605
00:45:34,865 --> 00:45:37,732
Before I'd give this story
to an insolent young pup like you,
606
00:45:37,801 --> 00:45:39,792
I'd take it to the <i>Daily Leader!</i>
607
00:45:39,870 --> 00:45:42,304
Charlie's mad now.
Gonna sell it to the <i>Leader.</i>
608
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:46,069
- Hang up on the drunken slob.
- Julie? She just left.
609
00:45:46,477 --> 00:45:48,570
I guess we'll just have to read your story
in the <i>Leader</i> tomorrow.
610
00:45:48,645 --> 00:45:50,772
- So long, pal.
- Give me that.
611
00:45:51,815 --> 00:45:53,077
- Hello? Hello?
- Don't be silly, Julie.
612
00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:55,141
He'll just keep you up all night
listening to his fairytales.
613
00:45:55,219 --> 00:45:59,349
- Where was he calling from?
- Bellevue psycho ward, I think he said.
614
00:46:00,257 --> 00:46:01,747
Your 10 bucks.
615
00:47:13,697 --> 00:47:15,460
- Keep this for me, Heeney.
- Why, sure, Charlie.
616
00:47:15,532 --> 00:47:17,056
A couple hours.
617
00:47:17,868 --> 00:47:20,359
One more, Heeney. One for the road.
618
00:48:05,215 --> 00:48:06,739
Hello, Charlie.
619
00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:13,617
Mark. I thought you were still down
at the Bowery.
620
00:48:15,692 --> 00:48:18,024
I hear you got a story, Charlie.
621
00:48:18,195 --> 00:48:20,060
Where'd you hear that?
622
00:48:20,597 --> 00:48:25,364
- Isn't that what you told McCleary?
- Why, I was just schmoozing him, I...
623
00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:28,295
Lining him up for a little touch.
624
00:48:28,372 --> 00:48:31,432
I gave you some money.
What did you do with it?
625
00:48:31,775 --> 00:48:33,333
You didn't, by any chance,
find a pawn ticket
626
00:48:33,410 --> 00:48:36,379
- mixed in with the money, did you, Charlie?
- Pawn ticket? Why, I...
627
00:48:36,446 --> 00:48:40,177
Did you use the money
to get the story out of hock, Charlie?
628
00:48:41,218 --> 00:48:44,585
You've got something that belongs to me.
Where is it?
629
00:48:45,389 --> 00:48:47,220
You were on the way to the <i>Leader</i>
with some evidence.
630
00:48:47,291 --> 00:48:49,725
Where is it, Charlie? Where is it?
631
00:49:01,905 --> 00:49:04,738
It's a wonderful story, isn't it, Charlie?
632
00:49:05,509 --> 00:49:07,909
You wanted to be a big man, Mark.
633
00:49:08,745 --> 00:49:12,476
This will make you famous
beyond your most ambitious dreams.
634
00:49:13,884 --> 00:49:18,412
Great story?
I've waited all my life for a story like this.
635
00:49:19,456 --> 00:49:23,483
Well, you've got it, Charlie.
But you're not going to write it.
636
00:49:27,130 --> 00:49:30,622
You're crazy, Mark.
Twenty years you've covered the news.
637
00:49:30,701 --> 00:49:33,761
Seen the bright boys try this. It never works.
638
00:49:56,493 --> 00:49:59,587
We just heard about Charlie Barnes.
Rotten deal.
639
00:50:00,163 --> 00:50:04,293
It's hard when it's someone like Charlie
you've known for 22 years.
640
00:50:04,401 --> 00:50:06,164
I knew him 25 years.
641
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:10,167
I never expected to see him
laying on a slab in this place.
642
00:50:10,507 --> 00:50:15,001
Is that right, Doc? Was he found
in an alleyway across from the <i>Daily Leader?</i>
643
00:50:15,078 --> 00:50:17,205
- Steve...
- Yes, that's right.
644
00:50:17,447 --> 00:50:20,439
The <i>Daily Leader.</i> He had a story!
645
00:50:20,517 --> 00:50:23,509
But he was taking your clever,
insolent, fresh-guy advice
646
00:50:23,587 --> 00:50:27,216
- and giving it to the <i>Leader!</i>
- He was drunk, Julie. How could I know...
647
00:50:27,290 --> 00:50:29,656
Charlie Barnes never got so drunk
he didn't know a story!
648
00:50:29,726 --> 00:50:33,492
Or that he'd try to peddle
a phony tip to a newspaper! But you...
649
00:50:33,563 --> 00:50:35,394
You couldn't bother listening to him!
650
00:50:35,465 --> 00:50:38,798
You and that newsprint hero of yours,
Mark Chapman.
651
00:50:39,269 --> 00:50:41,032
You couldn't expect us to believe
that Charlie Barnes
652
00:50:41,104 --> 00:50:43,129
had any real information
on the murder, Julie.
653
00:50:43,206 --> 00:50:45,231
We still don't know that he did.
654
00:50:45,308 --> 00:50:49,711
If you and that stone-hearted, glory seeking,
"I am the great Mark Chapman"
655
00:50:49,780 --> 00:50:51,771
had thrown Charlie
the miserable crumb of respect
656
00:50:51,848 --> 00:50:54,510
of just listening to him, he'd be alive today!
657
00:50:54,584 --> 00:50:58,748
Julie, maybe you're right.
Maybe it is partly my fault Charlie's dead.
658
00:50:58,822 --> 00:51:01,882
I'm sorry. Really sorry. But what can I do?
659
00:51:02,392 --> 00:51:06,123
Don't go soft! Show Chapman
you're a chip off the old block.
660
00:51:06,596 --> 00:51:08,655
Have him give Charlie a fancy funeral.
661
00:51:08,732 --> 00:51:11,997
Great headline.
"The <i>Express</i> buries its cast-offs."
662
00:51:12,436 --> 00:51:14,097
It'll sell papers!
663
00:51:27,350 --> 00:51:31,912
Kenny, rewrite that one paragraph, will you?
Allison had a bad night. Yeah.
664
00:51:32,289 --> 00:51:35,087
I just got yesterday's figures
from circulation, Mark.
665
00:51:35,158 --> 00:51:38,491
Six hundred and ninety-six thousand.
You're moving up there.
666
00:51:38,562 --> 00:51:41,292
Looks as though it's going to cost
the <i>Express</i> some bonus money before long.
667
00:51:41,364 --> 00:51:44,765
Quicker than you can say,
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Stockholder Rawley!"
668
00:51:44,835 --> 00:51:46,666
We're only starting,
Mr. Madison, only starting.
669
00:51:46,736 --> 00:51:48,260
That's the spirit!
670
00:51:48,338 --> 00:51:50,272
When you get to the editor's chair,
remember one thing.
671
00:51:50,340 --> 00:51:54,743
You're a hero with a lifetime job,
as long as the circulation is rising.
672
00:51:55,045 --> 00:51:59,379
- What have you got there?
- Something that will keep circulation rising.
673
00:51:59,716 --> 00:52:01,581
Charlie Barnes' story.
674
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:04,378
What are you talking about?
675
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:06,820
Charlie wasn't near the <i>Daily Leader</i>
by accident, Mark.
676
00:52:06,890 --> 00:52:08,790
He had something to print.
677
00:52:08,859 --> 00:52:11,419
I couldn't find it in his effects
at the morgue this morning,
678
00:52:11,495 --> 00:52:15,932
but I found it at Heeney's bar,
the joint Charlie phoned from last night.
679
00:52:16,233 --> 00:52:19,134
Half a pawnshop ticket was still on the bag.
680
00:52:19,236 --> 00:52:21,431
Pete's Hock Shop. I checked it.
681
00:52:21,505 --> 00:52:24,838
Charlie came in the pawnshop last night
with a claim check.
682
00:52:24,908 --> 00:52:27,536
Said he was unhocking it for a friend.
683
00:52:28,478 --> 00:52:31,743
Well, what's in the bag?
Miss Lonely Heart's name and address?
684
00:52:32,916 --> 00:52:36,477
Better than that, Mark.
Much better than that.
685
00:52:38,054 --> 00:52:40,579
A picture of the guy who killed her.
686
00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:52,362
A picture?
You can't even see the guy's face!
687
00:52:52,435 --> 00:52:54,596
What's the matter, Mark?
This is the first real lead we've got.
688
00:52:54,671 --> 00:52:56,263
The way you talked,
I thought we had it all sewed up.
689
00:52:56,339 --> 00:52:59,604
Sure, it's a lead, but it's a thin one.
How much does this give us?
690
00:52:59,676 --> 00:53:04,773
Well, we're certain the dame had a husband.
They were married in 1931 in Connecticut.
691
00:53:05,248 --> 00:53:09,048
- The husband's the guy who killed her.
- How do you make that?
692
00:53:09,419 --> 00:53:11,580
The ring mark on her finger
must have been a wedding ring.
693
00:53:11,655 --> 00:53:14,055
The inscription inside
could have identified him.
694
00:53:14,124 --> 00:53:16,388
And he grabbed the pawn ticket
figuring she'd hocked some belongings
695
00:53:16,459 --> 00:53:18,893
- that might peg him.
- Makes sense.
696
00:53:19,396 --> 00:53:22,194
Charlie got the pawn ticket from the killer.
697
00:53:22,265 --> 00:53:25,701
He must have been with him sometime,
someplace, yesterday.
698
00:53:25,769 --> 00:53:28,329
A lot of people
could have seen them together, right?
699
00:53:28,405 --> 00:53:29,770
Could have.
700
00:53:31,141 --> 00:53:33,609
Splash this picture
on the front page tonight.
701
00:53:33,677 --> 00:53:35,975
Offer a reward for information.
702
00:53:39,149 --> 00:53:41,674
"Lonely Heart Killer strikes again."
703
00:53:43,153 --> 00:53:45,246
When you write the story,
say that Barnes was working on this case
704
00:53:45,322 --> 00:53:46,346
undercover for the <i>Express.</i>
705
00:53:46,423 --> 00:53:49,620
He got too close to the killer
and died in the line of duty.
706
00:53:49,693 --> 00:53:50,887
Mark, I don't know, it...
707
00:53:50,961 --> 00:53:54,863
Nobody can deny it. It'll help sell papers.
We'll offer $1,000.
708
00:53:55,232 --> 00:53:58,360
Look, kid, don't pin your hopes
on anybody being able
709
00:53:58,435 --> 00:54:02,030
to spot the guy from this.
Unless they got x-ray eyes.
710
00:54:02,339 --> 00:54:04,034
I'm sure Charlie connected
the guy in the picture
711
00:54:04,107 --> 00:54:08,601
with the bird who gave him the pawn ticket.
I'm going to fine-tooth the Bowery myself.
712
00:54:08,678 --> 00:54:11,374
It's even money
that's where Charlie ran into our man.
713
00:54:11,448 --> 00:54:12,972
Good luck, kid.
714
00:54:44,314 --> 00:54:47,875
- Well, I got them for you, McCleary.
- Good work, Heeney.
715
00:55:05,368 --> 00:55:09,634
Well, this does it. I'll never touch
another drop the rest of my life.
716
00:55:17,547 --> 00:55:19,515
'Course some of them
been sucking on the bottle all night,
717
00:55:19,582 --> 00:55:21,516
but they can still stand up.
718
00:55:21,584 --> 00:55:24,747
- They all knew Charlie?
- Yeah, they all knew him.
719
00:55:25,088 --> 00:55:29,081
If you give McCleary here
any bum information, I'll brain you.
720
00:55:29,793 --> 00:55:31,818
And I might even do worse.
721
00:55:31,961 --> 00:55:35,522
No more free shots
when you're seeing little red spiders.
722
00:55:35,999 --> 00:55:40,095
How many of you boys saw Charlie Barnes
the day he was killed? Raise your hands.
723
00:55:40,170 --> 00:55:44,197
All right, raise your mitts,
them that seen Charlie day before yesterday.
724
00:55:44,274 --> 00:55:45,366
Good.
725
00:55:48,478 --> 00:55:50,446
- Where did you see him?
- See who?
726
00:55:50,513 --> 00:55:54,279
- This guy must be used to talking to mirrors.
- Charlie Barnes.
727
00:55:54,351 --> 00:55:58,253
I seen him come out of a joint
where he flopped in the morning.
728
00:56:00,824 --> 00:56:02,815
You, where'd you see him?
729
00:56:03,460 --> 00:56:05,826
- Humpty O'Dougal's saloon.
- What time?
730
00:56:05,895 --> 00:56:10,389
In the afternoon. Late in the afternoon.
Charlie had a nice little bun on.
731
00:56:10,934 --> 00:56:11,992
Was he with anybody?
732
00:56:12,068 --> 00:56:14,036
With anybody?
Sure, he was with somebody.
733
00:56:14,104 --> 00:56:16,834
Charlie never drank by himself
if he had a little cash on him.
734
00:56:16,906 --> 00:56:19,966
- Well, do you know the guy he was with?
- Certainly I know who he was with.
735
00:56:20,043 --> 00:56:23,206
- Well, who was it?
- Me. He sprung me three slugs.
736
00:56:29,686 --> 00:56:32,678
When did you see him?
When did you see him?
737
00:56:36,159 --> 00:56:38,491
- This morning.
- Throw him out of here.
738
00:56:38,561 --> 00:56:41,086
- Wait a minute!
- What are you talking about?
739
00:56:41,164 --> 00:56:44,691
- Now, is there any more jokers in the crowd?
- I seen him.
740
00:56:45,735 --> 00:56:49,136
Yeah? Well, go on. Where'd you see him?
741
00:56:51,074 --> 00:56:53,770
On the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
742
00:56:53,843 --> 00:56:57,472
- Go on, go on.
- Nothing. He was working a sucker.
743
00:56:58,014 --> 00:57:01,177
- Giving him the pally act, that's all.
- Now think hard.
744
00:57:01,251 --> 00:57:04,243
Do you remember the sucker?
Do you remember what he looks like?
745
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,754
- Maybe.
- What do you mean, "Maybe"?
746
00:57:06,890 --> 00:57:10,826
- Maybe for 50 bucks.
- Why you...
747
00:57:11,995 --> 00:57:15,362
Do you think you could remember
for 1,000 bucks?
748
00:57:17,267 --> 00:57:19,258
Who could tell who he is?
749
00:57:19,469 --> 00:57:22,461
Can you describe
the man you saw Charlie with?
750
00:57:22,906 --> 00:57:26,273
Do I get $1,000 if I do?
751
00:57:26,443 --> 00:57:28,968
You do. If and when we find the guy.
752
00:57:29,379 --> 00:57:32,212
- Sure, I can describe him.
- Well, go ahead.
753
00:57:34,918 --> 00:57:37,819
- You paying the reward?
- No, but my boss is.
754
00:57:38,655 --> 00:57:41,647
- Then I'll describe it to him.
- Okay. Come on.
755
00:57:41,791 --> 00:57:44,385
Rush this over to the composing room.
756
00:57:44,761 --> 00:57:48,492
Kenny, see if you can figure out
a heading for that rubbish.
757
00:57:48,698 --> 00:57:50,723
Connie! Connie, take this.
758
00:57:58,475 --> 00:57:59,806
Wait here.
759
00:58:13,623 --> 00:58:15,318
Look, Lieutenant,
just refer the captain to me.
760
00:58:15,391 --> 00:58:18,189
I'll tell him he's cropping at the best
homicide man he ever had on the force.
761
00:58:18,261 --> 00:58:20,491
If he doesn't know that,
he's deaf, dumb and blind.
762
00:58:20,563 --> 00:58:22,861
Yeah, never mind the malarkey, Chapman!
763
00:58:22,932 --> 00:58:24,900
The next time
you people pull a stunt like this,
764
00:58:24,968 --> 00:58:27,596
I'll throw both you and McCleary in the can!
765
00:58:28,271 --> 00:58:31,832
Okay, Lieutenant, okay.
I give you my word. Goodbye, pal.
766
00:58:33,042 --> 00:58:35,340
Davis is screaming because we gave him
the suitcase only a half hour
767
00:58:35,411 --> 00:58:36,878
before he read it in the <i>Express.</i>
768
00:58:36,946 --> 00:58:39,437
Well, I've got something
that ought to make him happy again.
769
00:58:39,516 --> 00:58:40,744
Not another suitcase?
770
00:58:40,817 --> 00:58:44,776
A guy who can identify the man
Charlie got the pawn ticket from.
771
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:51,384
Hey, Bailey. Come in here.
772
00:59:00,103 --> 00:59:03,561
He wouldn't describe the guy to me.
He needed the boss.
773
00:59:06,643 --> 00:59:08,304
You the boss?
774
00:59:09,379 --> 00:59:13,611
Yeah, and don't waste my time.
Where'd you see this guy with Charlie?
775
00:59:15,818 --> 00:59:18,446
Down the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
776
00:59:19,956 --> 00:59:22,151
You say you can describe him?
777
00:59:41,844 --> 00:59:44,335
Well, go on. What did he look like?
778
00:59:54,057 --> 00:59:55,786
Stand up, will you?
779
01:00:04,467 --> 01:00:07,766
Yeah, just how I figured.
780
01:00:08,805 --> 01:00:10,432
You figured what?
781
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,272
He was your size,
782
01:00:17,313 --> 01:00:18,678
your build.
783
01:00:19,115 --> 01:00:21,345
Could have been as old as you.
784
01:00:21,951 --> 01:00:26,217
- Is that all?
- All you asked me was to describe him.
785
01:00:26,723 --> 01:00:30,625
That was no description!
That could fit a million guys in this town.
786
01:00:30,693 --> 01:00:34,060
- Even me.
- Well, how about the reward?
787
01:00:34,130 --> 01:00:38,123
Here, take this down to the cashier
and pick yourself up five bucks.
788
01:00:38,201 --> 01:00:41,261
- Show him where it is, Steve.
- Come on, Bailey.
789
01:01:30,186 --> 01:01:31,517
Hey, Baxter, where's Julie?
790
01:01:31,587 --> 01:01:34,078
She came in this morning,
banged this out on her typewriter,
791
01:01:34,157 --> 01:01:36,216
and told me to give it to Chapman.
792
01:01:36,292 --> 01:01:38,385
- What is it?
- Her resignation.
793
01:01:38,461 --> 01:01:42,261
I figured I'd hang onto it a day or so.
Maybe she'd cool off.
794
01:01:42,632 --> 01:01:46,261
I'm sure glad you did.
I'll take care of it for you, okay?
795
01:01:49,238 --> 01:01:50,762
Baxter, thanks.
796
01:02:00,883 --> 01:02:03,647
- Hello, Mrs. Allison.
- Well, hello, Steve. Come in.
797
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,051
Thank you.
798
01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:14,458
I have a pot of coffee in the kitchen.
I'd better see to it.
799
01:02:14,664 --> 01:02:16,564
Can I say a few words to you?
800
01:02:16,632 --> 01:02:19,533
Without getting hit with a table
or something?
801
01:02:19,602 --> 01:02:22,230
Speak your piece and get it over with.
802
01:02:22,338 --> 01:02:25,535
I just got rocked
with a bad piece of news, Julie.
803
01:02:25,742 --> 01:02:28,040
I heard about your resignation.
804
01:02:28,444 --> 01:02:31,845
Well, I can't imagine
why you'd shed any tears over it.
805
01:02:31,914 --> 01:02:33,211
Well, for what it's worth,
806
01:02:33,282 --> 01:02:36,308
your resigning knocks the props
out of a lot of things for me.
807
01:02:37,754 --> 01:02:40,655
That couldn't have come
from Steve McCleary.
808
01:02:41,791 --> 01:02:44,851
Okay, pass it. But I didn't figure
your burn at Chapman and me
809
01:02:44,927 --> 01:02:48,454
would be bigger than your wanting
to do something about Charlie's murder.
810
01:02:49,632 --> 01:02:52,829
Don't start playing me
for a hollow-headed female now, Steve.
811
01:02:52,902 --> 01:02:55,871
Your only interest, and Chapman's,
in Charlie's death is exploiting it
812
01:02:55,938 --> 01:02:59,601
- for all the circulation jumping it's worth!
- Julie, I'm not digging on a story now
813
01:02:59,675 --> 01:03:03,577
just for the school-boy bang of seeing
my name over a sensational yarn.
814
01:03:03,646 --> 01:03:06,672
Yeah, that's right, I had to get hit pretty hard
before I smartened up.
815
01:03:06,749 --> 01:03:09,309
But now I'm leveling
on the Charlie Barnes business.
816
01:03:13,422 --> 01:03:18,257
Well, if I can believe what I'm hearing,
this certainly is a different McCleary.
817
01:03:19,328 --> 01:03:20,955
I've been working night and day.
818
01:03:21,030 --> 01:03:24,227
All I've done is run the local leads
to a dead end.
819
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:29,294
There's only one gimmick left to follow.
This picture, the marriage in Connecticut.
820
01:03:29,472 --> 01:03:33,067
It's odd the person who married them
hasn't recognized it.
821
01:03:33,142 --> 01:03:36,077
Unless he's dead or hasn't seen the picture.
822
01:03:36,579 --> 01:03:40,310
Yeah, I thought of that angle, too.
But it's a million-to-one shot.
823
01:03:40,383 --> 01:03:43,716
A guy would have to be an elephant
to remember a face after 21 years.
824
01:03:44,787 --> 01:03:48,314
Tell him about the elephant we met
on Fifth Avenue, about four years ago.
825
01:03:48,391 --> 01:03:50,791
We were walking along the street when,
right out of the blue,
826
01:03:50,860 --> 01:03:53,021
a complete stranger stopped me.
827
01:03:53,095 --> 01:03:56,656
It turned out to be the little preacher
who married Julie's father and me
828
01:03:56,732 --> 01:03:59,724
in Portland, Maine, 23 years before!
829
01:04:01,404 --> 01:04:06,603
- And he actually was able to recognize you?
- And I'd put on a little weight since then.
830
01:04:07,210 --> 01:04:10,270
They say a New Englander
seldom forgets a face.
831
01:04:10,980 --> 01:04:13,813
Crazy odds, but what can we lose?
832
01:04:15,051 --> 01:04:16,416
Yeah, get this picture
833
01:04:16,485 --> 01:04:19,750
to every churchman, judge
and justice of the peace in Connecticut.
834
01:04:19,822 --> 01:04:24,259
- It's certainly worth trying.
- It's a big job. Compiling lists,
835
01:04:24,527 --> 01:04:26,620
- checking out leads.
- It can be done.
836
01:04:26,696 --> 01:04:28,687
The two of us could handle it, Julie.
837
01:04:29,732 --> 01:04:32,667
Well, I'd like to, Steve, but I've resigned.
838
01:04:32,735 --> 01:04:36,637
And I'd sooner drop dead
than ask Mark Chapman for my job back.
839
01:04:43,312 --> 01:04:45,803
- You dog!
- It never got past Baxter.
840
01:04:46,883 --> 01:04:48,908
A list of churches in each town
is no problem.
841
01:04:48,985 --> 01:04:52,318
The judges and JPs we can get
from the state legal directory in Hartford.
842
01:04:52,388 --> 01:04:54,720
Yeah, you start packing.
Enough for a couple of weeks.
843
01:04:54,790 --> 01:04:56,451
I'm going to the office
and get the lab boys started
844
01:04:56,525 --> 01:04:57,787
on knocking out a few hundred circulars.
845
01:04:57,860 --> 01:05:00,260
But suppose Chapman says no
to my working with you on it?
846
01:05:00,329 --> 01:05:03,492
Why should he? Anyway, I'm not going
to tell him anything until we're ready to go.
847
01:05:03,566 --> 01:05:04,658
Tonight sometime.
848
01:05:04,734 --> 01:05:08,898
Mom, you think it's safe for me to travel
out of state at night with this young man?
849
01:05:08,971 --> 01:05:12,702
Just so he doesn't misconstrue
the meaning of "freedom of the press."
850
01:05:12,775 --> 01:05:16,336
Hey, you wonderful woman.
I'll check with you for dinner.
851
01:05:21,417 --> 01:05:23,544
Steve, this is shot-in-the-dark stuff.
852
01:05:23,619 --> 01:05:26,452
Mark, more rabbit-brained ideas than this
have paid off.
853
01:05:26,522 --> 01:05:28,956
Your hottest lead is right here in town
where the murders were committed.
854
01:05:29,025 --> 01:05:32,290
Yeah, our hottest lead was in town,
but it dried up like a puddle in July.
855
01:05:32,361 --> 01:05:33,589
You're looking for a mental marvel,
856
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:36,154
a guy who can recognize somebody
he'd seen for 15 or 20 minutes
857
01:05:36,232 --> 01:05:38,757
at a wedding ceremony
he performed 21 years ago.
858
01:05:38,834 --> 01:05:41,394
How do we know he only saw them
for 15 or 20 minutes?
859
01:05:41,470 --> 01:05:44,200
Maybe they were members of his church
or were married by a judge
860
01:05:44,273 --> 01:05:46,298
or a justice in their own town.
861
01:05:46,375 --> 01:05:48,605
Steve, you're off
on a needle-in-a-haystack hunt.
862
01:05:48,678 --> 01:05:51,078
You can find a needle in a haystack
if you look long enough.
863
01:05:51,147 --> 01:05:53,775
You don't think I'm gonna let you
hang around up there indefinitely, do you?
864
01:05:53,849 --> 01:05:55,680
You won't have to. A week, probably.
865
01:05:55,751 --> 01:05:58,982
Julie Allison's coming along to help me.
It's all arranged.
866
01:05:59,055 --> 01:06:02,456
It's all arranged. And that five grand reward.
You arranged that, too?
867
01:06:02,525 --> 01:06:06,586
No, you did, or will.
Mark, what's eating you?
868
01:06:07,096 --> 01:06:09,257
I'm only checking out every possible angle.
869
01:06:09,332 --> 01:06:11,061
Kid, I don't want you to beat your brains out.
870
01:06:11,133 --> 01:06:13,033
We can get just so much
out of this Lonely Hearts story,
871
01:06:13,102 --> 01:06:16,128
and then we'll start easing it off
and let it die a natural death.
872
01:06:16,205 --> 01:06:19,368
Let it die? Mark, we let Charlie Barnes die!
873
01:06:20,509 --> 01:06:22,909
The least we can do now is to find his killer.
874
01:06:23,679 --> 01:06:26,443
You're the guy who pounded into me,
"Never give up till you've got the story."
875
01:06:26,515 --> 01:06:28,449
Well, I'm not quitting on this one
until I've licked it.
876
01:06:28,517 --> 01:06:30,985
You can reach me
at the Lenox Hotel in Hartford.
877
01:06:56,579 --> 01:06:57,978
Long distance.
878
01:06:58,047 --> 01:06:59,844
I want some information.
879
01:06:59,915 --> 01:07:01,906
A telephone number
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
880
01:07:01,984 --> 01:07:05,181
The name is Hacker. He's a judge.
I don't remember his first name.
881
01:07:05,254 --> 01:07:07,222
You wish to place a call to this party?
882
01:07:07,289 --> 01:07:10,383
No, no. Not yet, that is.
I just want to get his telephone number.
883
01:07:10,459 --> 01:07:12,188
<i>One moment, please.</i>
884
01:07:16,799 --> 01:07:20,235
Hello? The Middlebury operator
has no listing for anyone by that name.
885
01:07:21,037 --> 01:07:22,436
There isn't?
886
01:07:23,305 --> 01:07:25,296
Middlebury's a small town.
Will you ask the operator
887
01:07:25,374 --> 01:07:26,966
if she knows anything
about Judge Hacker at all?
888
01:07:27,043 --> 01:07:29,273
Is he deceased, moved away, or what?
889
01:07:29,345 --> 01:07:31,074
<i>One moment, please.</i>
890
01:07:35,518 --> 01:07:38,510
Hello? The local operator
has been in Middlebury for five years
891
01:07:38,587 --> 01:07:40,646
and knows no one
by the name of Judge Hacker.
892
01:07:40,723 --> 01:07:42,384
That's all the information she can give us.
893
01:07:43,959 --> 01:07:45,153
Thanks.
894
01:08:32,908 --> 01:08:35,308
No, Reverend,
I'm afraid that's not our couple.
895
01:08:36,412 --> 01:08:39,040
You may be positive, Reverend,
but you're mistaken.
896
01:08:39,115 --> 01:08:41,515
The woman in the photo we sent you
is dead.
897
01:08:41,584 --> 01:08:43,916
Thank you for calling, Reverend.
898
01:08:46,288 --> 01:08:48,153
You don't have to tell me.
899
01:08:48,224 --> 01:08:50,852
It's written all over
your bright and shining face.
900
01:08:50,926 --> 01:08:53,759
A 190-mile drive
to have a whack-head tell me
901
01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:56,423
that both the people in our circular
died a year ago.
902
01:08:57,766 --> 01:09:01,896
New Englanders remember, all right.
Every face is familiar to them.
903
01:09:04,406 --> 01:09:07,671
Hello? Just a minute, here's Steve.
904
01:09:08,110 --> 01:09:10,340
It's that man again. Every day.
905
01:09:10,412 --> 01:09:13,313
Does he think we'll keep it a big fat secret
if we find something?
906
01:09:15,284 --> 01:09:16,649
Yeah, Mark.
907
01:09:18,487 --> 01:09:20,819
Nothing but an aching back
and some interesting meetings
908
01:09:20,890 --> 01:09:22,824
with jelly-brained screwballs.
909
01:09:22,892 --> 01:09:26,555
You've had enough time, Steve. Ten days.
Admit it's a dud. Come on home.
910
01:09:26,629 --> 01:09:29,325
Two more days, Mark.
We'll stick it out to the end of the week.
911
01:09:29,899 --> 01:09:33,391
Get out of the haystack. It's easier
to find the needles at the scene of the crime.
912
01:09:33,469 --> 01:09:34,936
I'll see you.
913
01:09:35,771 --> 01:09:39,832
Two more days. I don't even know myself
why we're sticking around.
914
01:09:41,043 --> 01:09:42,772
Anything there that sounds good?
915
01:09:44,180 --> 01:09:47,946
I'll read you a fair sample.
From a J.P. Waterbury.
916
01:09:49,084 --> 01:09:52,451
"Send me $5,000
and I will tell you names of people."
917
01:09:52,655 --> 01:09:54,646
A new head I'll send him.
918
01:09:55,658 --> 01:09:58,320
I've got a headache.
I think I'll lie down for a while.
919
01:09:59,728 --> 01:10:01,855
Why don't you lie down here?
920
01:10:07,269 --> 01:10:08,998
I'll go to my room.
921
01:10:15,344 --> 01:10:17,744
McCleary. Okay, put him on.
922
01:10:18,681 --> 01:10:20,808
A guy calling from Franklin.
923
01:10:21,283 --> 01:10:23,308
Hello? Yeah, that's right.
924
01:10:25,955 --> 01:10:27,149
You do, huh?
925
01:10:29,258 --> 01:10:31,590
- You've got what?
- What is it?
926
01:10:31,827 --> 01:10:35,456
- Just a minute.
- I have the other picture right before me!
927
01:10:35,864 --> 01:10:41,131
Yes, I married them July 19th, 1931,
over in Middlebury.
928
01:10:42,438 --> 01:10:44,702
A funny thing. What's that?
929
01:10:48,143 --> 01:10:49,872
Judge Elroy Hacker.
930
01:10:50,379 --> 01:10:52,404
We'll be there in two hours, Judge.
931
01:10:52,481 --> 01:10:54,244
Sit tight
and keep your mouth shut about this.
932
01:10:54,316 --> 01:10:55,374
Bye.
933
01:10:55,584 --> 01:10:59,247
Go on, get packed.
He's liable to drop dead on us or something.
934
01:11:55,110 --> 01:11:58,102
For a man who can sit there
and watch his success increasing daily,
935
01:11:58,180 --> 01:12:00,011
you're looking much too troubled, Mark.
936
01:12:00,082 --> 01:12:03,210
It's just that these minor problems
always seem to require major thinking.
937
01:12:03,285 --> 01:12:06,379
Well, perhaps we can balance
the unpleasant with the pleasant.
938
01:12:06,455 --> 01:12:09,390
That conversation we had the other day
about your buying company stock.
939
01:12:09,458 --> 01:12:10,823
- Yeah?
- I just thought I'd tell you,
940
01:12:10,893 --> 01:12:14,920
- I think we can swing that.
- That's fine, Mr. Madison, just great.
941
01:12:14,997 --> 01:12:17,659
Well, there doesn't seem to be any doubt
you'll reach that bonus figure.
942
01:12:17,733 --> 01:12:19,064
It'll be pleasant having you as a partner,
943
01:12:19,134 --> 01:12:20,863
- so to speak, in the paper, Mark.
- Thanks.
944
01:12:20,936 --> 01:12:22,801
- Good night.
- Good night.
945
01:14:17,953 --> 01:14:19,147
Sorry to keep you this late, Mark,
946
01:14:19,221 --> 01:14:21,621
but we got hit with a mess of traffic
on the way in.
947
01:14:21,690 --> 01:14:23,157
Your wire sounded important.
948
01:14:23,225 --> 01:14:26,456
I found that needle,
or rather the man with the needle.
949
01:14:26,528 --> 01:14:29,725
Judge Elroy Hacker,
Mark Chapman, Managing Editor.
950
01:14:29,865 --> 01:14:32,925
- Glad to meet you, Judge.
- How do, Mr. Chapman?
951
01:14:33,902 --> 01:14:35,893
- Sit down, Judge.
- Thanks.
952
01:14:36,772 --> 01:14:38,672
Does the judge's needle sew anything up?
953
01:14:38,740 --> 01:14:41,231
Everything but knotting the thread
at the end.
954
01:14:41,310 --> 01:14:42,937
I mean the noose.
955
01:14:44,046 --> 01:14:45,240
What have you got?
956
01:14:45,314 --> 01:14:48,511
The identity of Mrs. Lonely Heart
and her husband.
957
01:14:49,117 --> 01:14:51,711
Judge Hacker married them
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
958
01:14:51,787 --> 01:14:54,688
Their names are Charlotte and George Grant.
959
01:14:58,827 --> 01:14:59,953
Did you get that, Mark?
960
01:15:00,028 --> 01:15:03,327
The name of the Lonely Heart Killer
is George Grant.
961
01:15:03,699 --> 01:15:05,530
Yeah, I heard you. Go on.
962
01:15:05,601 --> 01:15:08,229
Strike two. The judge is sure
he can identify George Grant
963
01:15:08,303 --> 01:15:10,203
when he sees him again.
964
01:15:10,806 --> 01:15:13,969
You see, I took this picture myself.
965
01:15:14,710 --> 01:15:17,338
A little extra service
the judge gave his bridal couples.
966
01:15:17,412 --> 01:15:20,711
Yes. I'd send them a print
and put one in my own scrapbook.
967
01:15:20,782 --> 01:15:22,579
The judge even furnished
the "just married" sign.
968
01:15:22,651 --> 01:15:24,118
Judge, you said
you married them in Middlebury,
969
01:15:24,186 --> 01:15:27,883
- but Steve found you in Franklin.
- I retired seven years ago.
970
01:15:27,956 --> 01:15:31,323
I'm partial to fishing,
so I moved over on the coast.
971
01:15:32,027 --> 01:15:34,928
I only happened
to see your circular by chance,
972
01:15:34,997 --> 01:15:37,830
in the office of a justice friend of mine.
973
01:15:40,602 --> 01:15:43,571
I always said you were born
in a field of shamrocks.
974
01:15:43,639 --> 01:15:47,769
Sure. The McClearys raised their kids
on nothing but rabbits' feet.
975
01:15:48,410 --> 01:15:52,471
Judge, what makes you so sure
you can identify George Grant today?
976
01:15:54,383 --> 01:15:57,250
Well, mainly because right after
I took that wedding picture,
977
01:15:57,319 --> 01:16:00,482
this Grant got vexed at his wife
about something.
978
01:16:01,590 --> 01:16:05,651
I can remember his voice, snapping at her.
His face getting red...
979
01:16:07,696 --> 01:16:11,598
I know what's in your bonnet, Mark.
We still have to find George Grant.
980
01:16:11,667 --> 01:16:14,363
A needle's nothing but a hunk of steel
if you've got nothing to sew.
981
01:16:14,436 --> 01:16:15,801
We just need the thread.
982
01:16:15,871 --> 01:16:18,203
I figure we'll pick that up
right here in New York.
983
01:16:18,273 --> 01:16:21,367
When the police line up all the local
George Grants for the judge to look over.
984
01:16:23,745 --> 01:16:27,416
That's Julie. I dropped her off
at headquarters to tell Davis what we've got.
985
01:16:29,251 --> 01:16:32,618
Friend Davis is steaming
like a pressure cooker, as I said he would.
986
01:16:32,688 --> 01:16:33,746
He'll simmer down.
987
01:16:33,822 --> 01:16:36,484
So will your
lining up the George Grants idea.
988
01:16:36,558 --> 01:16:40,255
Davis says he'll do nothing until you turn
Judge Hacker over to the police.
989
01:16:40,329 --> 01:16:42,763
- Steve, you can't hold...
- Relax, doll. He'll see the judge later.
990
01:16:42,831 --> 01:16:44,924
Not tonight he won't.
The judge is our exclusive beat.
991
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,230
Nobody gets to him
till our story breaks tomorrow.
992
01:16:47,302 --> 01:16:49,031
I don't trust cops.
993
01:16:51,607 --> 01:16:52,904
You and Julie start writing the story.
994
01:16:52,975 --> 01:16:56,308
I'll put the judge in a side-street hotel
where nobody will get to him.
995
01:16:56,378 --> 01:16:57,902
Come on, Judge.
996
01:17:01,316 --> 01:17:03,648
I'll just wait for Mr. McCleary.
997
01:17:04,987 --> 01:17:06,921
He was going to put me up at his place.
998
01:17:06,989 --> 01:17:08,581
That's the first place
the wolves will start baying.
999
01:17:08,657 --> 01:17:10,921
You better come with me, Judge.
1000
01:17:10,993 --> 01:17:15,157
No, I don't think it would be wise
for me to go with you, Mr. Grant.
1001
01:17:15,731 --> 01:17:18,325
- Mister...
- Chapman, Judge. Not Grant.
1002
01:17:18,734 --> 01:17:21,294
You'd better give your brain a rest.
You're gonna need it.
1003
01:17:21,370 --> 01:17:22,735
He may be Chapman now,
1004
01:17:22,804 --> 01:17:27,104
but 21 years ago, when I married them,
he was George Grant.
1005
01:17:27,509 --> 01:17:29,534
And he was a newspaperman.
1006
01:17:30,379 --> 01:17:34,145
I remember now. He said he worked
on the paper over in Waterford.
1007
01:17:34,216 --> 01:17:37,549
Waterford, Connecticut, was that town
I couldn't think of.
1008
01:17:37,619 --> 01:17:40,110
But I knew I'd remember that voice.
1009
01:17:40,422 --> 01:17:44,586
His face... You've changed.
But it's the same man.
1010
01:17:45,060 --> 01:17:48,086
You remember that $5,000 reward, though,
don't you, Judge?
1011
01:17:48,163 --> 01:17:51,428
Judge. This is impossible.
You're getting confused.
1012
01:17:51,633 --> 01:17:54,864
He sounds to me as though
he knows exactly what he's saying.
1013
01:17:54,936 --> 01:17:57,837
This is idiotic!
Screwball, crackbrained lunacy!
1014
01:17:57,906 --> 01:18:01,364
And that's just the kind of a witness
the judge is going to make, too, Steve.
1015
01:18:01,443 --> 01:18:03,240
The police have that specimen
of hair and flesh
1016
01:18:03,311 --> 01:18:05,905
found under Mrs. Grant's fingernails.
1017
01:18:06,348 --> 01:18:09,283
I think we'd better get in touch with Davis.
1018
01:18:09,551 --> 01:18:11,212
No phone, Allison.
1019
01:18:21,797 --> 01:18:26,359
Julie pegged you right off.
But me, still wet behind the ears McCleary.
1020
01:18:27,235 --> 01:18:29,328
I went for the sleigh ride.
1021
01:18:29,971 --> 01:18:35,409
I practically built the pedestal for Chapman.
The great newspaperman. The great guy.
1022
01:18:36,778 --> 01:18:41,545
There ought to be a special Pulitzer Prize
for the world's biggest sucker, McCleary.
1023
01:18:41,616 --> 01:18:44,141
Just another one of your stupid slobs!
1024
01:18:44,219 --> 01:18:45,948
Things happen, Steve,
and then there's just no end.
1025
01:18:46,021 --> 01:18:47,921
Killing my wife was an accident.
1026
01:18:47,989 --> 01:18:51,823
And Charlie. Charlie Barnes,
who never hurt a fly in his life.
1027
01:18:52,294 --> 01:18:54,057
A washed-up drunken rummy
who had nothing to live for
1028
01:18:54,129 --> 01:18:55,790
against a career
that was just reaching its prime.
1029
01:18:55,864 --> 01:18:59,322
- It wasn't an even exchange.
- You've got a great career ahead of you now.
1030
01:18:59,401 --> 01:19:02,302
That's all down the drain.
I gotta to make different plans now.
1031
01:19:02,370 --> 01:19:04,736
You should have started running
when you got my wire, sucker!
1032
01:19:04,806 --> 01:19:06,501
I gambled.
The stakes are big enough, you don't run
1033
01:19:06,575 --> 01:19:10,443
unless there's nothing else left to do.
Don't try it, kid.
1034
01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:30,190
Steve!
1035
01:19:50,986 --> 01:19:53,011
We're just too close, kid.
1036
01:19:57,292 --> 01:20:02,059
I figured I'd find you birds here.
Still playing me for a pushover, aren't you?
1037
01:20:04,032 --> 01:20:06,227
Steve, you remember how I told you
1038
01:20:06,301 --> 01:20:09,464
that someday you'd run into
a really great story?
1039
01:20:09,905 --> 01:20:11,736
Well, this one ought to do it, huh?
1040
01:20:12,474 --> 01:20:14,374
Yeah, this one will do.
1041
01:20:14,976 --> 01:20:16,603
I'll give you the lead on it.
1042
01:20:17,846 --> 01:20:18,972
"The elusive Lonely Heart Killer,
1043
01:20:19,047 --> 01:20:20,708

01:20:20,782 --> 01:20:23,774

1045
01:20:25,387 --> 01:20:27,321

1046
01:20:27,389 --> 01:20:30,449

01:20:31,259 --> 01:20:32,920

01:20:32,994 --> 01:20:35,827
"Managing Editor of the <i>New York Express."</i>
1049
01:20:37,766 --> 01:20:42,601
- Write it up big, kid. It'll sell a lot of papers.
- All right, drop it, Chapman.

Mark Chapman, editor of the New York Express, has made the newspaper a success by pursuing sensationalism and yellow journalism. His protégé is ace reporter Steve McCleary, while successful feature writer Julie Allison is frustrated by the paper's drift towards raking the muck. One night, during a lonely hearts dance organized by the Express, Chapman's estranged wife confronts him and demands that he visit her hotel room. It is revealed that Chapman's real name is George Grant, and he abandoned his wife decades earlier, changing his identity. When Chapman rebuffs her efforts toward reconciliation, she threatens to publicize his real identity. Chapman tries to restrain her, accidentally killing her in the scuffle.
Chapman attempts to cover up his crime, posing the scene to look like an accident. The police initially believe she slipped in the bathtub, but McCleary begins covering the case, and his reporting reveals it was a murder. McCleary is eager to run the story, and Chapman must acquiesce to avoid suspicion. The "mystery" murderer is dubbed the "Lonely Hearts Killer." Charlie Barnes, an alcoholic former star reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner, stumbles upon the dead woman's suitcase, in which he finds wedding photographs showing Chapman (then Grant) and his wife. He realizes that Chapman must be the killer. Barnes contacts Allison, who has been kind to him, attempting to give her the scoop, but Chapman overhears the conversation. He intercepts and kills Barnes before he can reveal the truth to a rival publication. This act only increases public interest in the story of the Lonely Hearts Killer, much to Chapman's frustration.
Assisted by Allison, McCleary continues to track down clues and leads. Eventually he locates another photo from Chapman/Grant's wedding, although the groom is shot in profile and it is not obvious that it is Chapman. McCleary and Allison travel to Connecticut to find the judge who married the murdered woman and the man in the photograph. After a week of searching, they identify the judge who conducted the marriage. They bring him back to the newspaper building, where he identifies Chapman as the groom and thus the Lonely Hearts Killer. McCleary is incredulous, but Allison puts the pieces together and the desperate Chapman pulls a gun on them. The police arrive, and Chapman cannot bring himself to shoot McCleary. Instead, he gives McCleary his blessing to publish all details of his crimes and then commits suicide by cop.

1
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,468
I know how you feel, lady.
2
00:01:52,545 --> 00:01:54,445
Just take your time
and tell me what happened.
3
00:01:54,514 --> 00:01:57,915
He had this meat ax, her blood all over it.
4
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:03,187
My brother-in-law had it.
Blood all over his hands, all over his shirt.
5
00:02:03,389 --> 00:02:05,687
I can't talk about it, Officer.
6
00:02:05,859 --> 00:02:08,851
I know it's rough, lady,
but I have to have the facts.
7
00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:14,298
He comes staggering out in the hall.
He says, "I did it. Call the cops."
8
00:02:15,101 --> 00:02:16,125
And then he...
9
00:02:16,202 --> 00:02:19,467
Snap it up, Captain.
Lieutenant Davis just blew in.
10
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,303
What's he going to do, Officer?
11
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:25,003
- I'm not a cop, lady.
- But you said...
12
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:27,610
All I said was,
"I had to ask you some questions."
13
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,079
I'm from the <i>Express.</i>
14
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:33,984
You made me go through all that.
Why, you're not decent! You're not human!
15
00:02:34,754 --> 00:02:38,121
- Sorry, lady. All part of the job.
- Well, well, Lieutenant Davis.
16
00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:42,252
- Say, this must have been a homicide.
- Hi, Lieutenant. Wait till you hear it.
17
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:45,092
- A messy one.
- You keep pulling stuff like this, McCleary,
18
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:50,193
and so help me, if it's the last thing I do,
I'll run you in! Now, that's a warning!
19
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:18,591
This is KL-75263. Get me Plaza-52099.
20
00:03:19,532 --> 00:03:24,401
You know, that wasn't a bad-Iooking dame.
Too bad the guy used an ax on her head.
21
00:03:25,271 --> 00:03:27,796
Spoiled some pretty pictures for me.
22
00:03:28,908 --> 00:03:31,877
Hey, Mark, have you put on the gloves
with those stockholders yet?
23
00:03:32,178 --> 00:03:34,203
Hi. No, I'm just taping up my hands.
24
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,976
<i>Well, you can tell them we got</i>
<i>another neat and gory one coming up.</i>
25
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:39,177
<i>Hatchet murder. Lower East Side tenement.</i>
26
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:41,652
<i>Wrapped up an exclusive interview</i>
<i>with an eyewitness.</i>
27
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:43,211
You got plenty of art?
28
00:03:43,289 --> 00:03:45,052
Yeah. Biddle grabbed all he could
of the body.
29
00:03:45,124 --> 00:03:49,185
A dame, very messy.
Got a great hysterical close-up of her sister.
30
00:03:49,529 --> 00:03:52,828
I'll even write the caption for you.
"I seen him with a bloody meat ax."
31
00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:54,592
Good. With that, I can sell papers.
32
00:03:54,667 --> 00:03:57,295
Give it to rewrite and we'll get it in the final.
Hold on. What do you want?
33
00:03:57,370 --> 00:04:00,237
Mr. Madison called down
from the boardroom again, Mr. Chapman.
34
00:04:00,306 --> 00:04:02,831
You hear that?
I'm letting them stew in their financial juices.
35
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:05,067
Well, don't overdo it. I like this job.
36
00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:08,273
You've never gone backwards
with me before, have you, kid?
37
00:04:08,348 --> 00:04:13,217
If we leave here, we'll bounce into
a bigger setup. I'll see you when you get in.
38
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:21,417
As one of the largest stockholders
in this corporation,
39
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:24,463
I would like to know
why the <i>New York Express,</i>
40
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:27,465
once a distinguished
and respected newspaper,
41
00:04:29,869 --> 00:04:33,600
has been allowed to become
a cheap and depraved publication.
42
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:38,835
Why has an editor been allowed
to turn a decent journal into this?
43
00:04:39,679 --> 00:04:41,613
A disgusting tabloid!
44
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,749
Pandering to the passions
of the base morons!
45
00:04:45,151 --> 00:04:47,847
I demand an explanation, Frank Madison.
46
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:54,750
Well, Mrs. Rawley, I...
In defense of Mark Chapman, I...
47
00:04:54,827 --> 00:04:58,263
Mr. Madison, I'd like to handle
my own defense, if you don't mind.
48
00:04:58,331 --> 00:04:59,855
Just as you say, Mark.
49
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:05,428
Mrs. Rawley, I think you
and the other stockholders should know
50
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:07,496
that your publisher hired me
as executive editor
51
00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:09,837
with full rights to transform this newspaper.
52
00:05:10,677 --> 00:05:14,443
He did this for a very simple reason.
He was fed up with operating at a loss.
53
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:18,611
Why did Mr. Madison hire me?
Well, he felt it was time that the <i>Express</i>
54
00:05:18,685 --> 00:05:21,745
buried its antiquated negative approach,
such as this.
55
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:25,756
But who won?
56
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:29,920
And become a positive newspaper.
We're in a business, ladies and gentlemen,
57
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:34,695
a business of satisfying the hunger
of the public for thrills, escape and news.
58
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:39,271
Here's where I took over
your highly respectable white elephant.
59
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:42,172
Instead of headlining a UN story,
we gave them a vice story.
60
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:44,368
Obviously, they went for it.
61
00:05:44,544 --> 00:05:46,239
We played down
the presidential appointments
62
00:05:46,312 --> 00:05:48,644
and concentrated
on the "Gorilla Man" killings.
63
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:51,576
Here's what happened.
Thirty or forty thousand new readers.
64
00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:54,245
Why, in a year, circulation's up over 110%.
65
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,686
And when we reach 750,000,
66
00:05:56,756 --> 00:06:00,886
we'll have to pay you a big bonus.
I'm not sure I like this at all.
67
00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:02,761
Did you like the dividend check
you got last month
68
00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:04,194
for the first time in 12 years?
69
00:06:04,263 --> 00:06:07,323
I don't like this, sir.
What kind of journalism is this?
70
00:06:07,967 --> 00:06:10,026
A newspaper
staging a cheap, vulgar display
71
00:06:10,103 --> 00:06:13,266
in order to attract
the stupid slobs of the city!
72
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,865
The thousands who will attend
the Lonely Heart dance tonight,
73
00:06:15,942 --> 00:06:18,467
these poor, friendly, unhappy people
whom you call stupid slobs,
74
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:20,569
buy and read this newspaper.
75
00:06:20,646 --> 00:06:22,944
Their loyalty helped put that dividend check
in your pocket.
76
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:26,712
And I suppose you think it's a public service
when one of your reporters is arrested
77
00:06:26,786 --> 00:06:30,745
for withholding information from the police?
Or whatever it was.
78
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:34,150
This, what's his name, McCleary person,
79
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,352
and the things he writes about!
I think he should be fired!
80
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:39,295
This McCleary person
is the best young reporter I've seen
81
00:06:39,365 --> 00:06:41,060
in 25 years of newspapering.
82
00:06:41,134 --> 00:06:43,193
Before I'll fire him,
I'll throw the <i>Express</i> up for grabs
83
00:06:43,269 --> 00:06:45,669
and go to work for somebody
who appreciates real talent on a paper!
84
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:47,262
- Mark, I'm sure...
- One last thing.
85
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:50,798
The only contract I have here is a handshake
between Mr. Madison and myself.
86
00:06:50,877 --> 00:06:53,141
Now, unless you give me full rights
to run this paper the way I want,
87
00:06:53,212 --> 00:06:55,271
I'll quit after the final edition today.
88
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:58,784
Now, I'm sorry I can't stay with you
any longer. I have a newspaper to get out!
89
00:07:06,092 --> 00:07:10,426
- Your story ready, Miss Allison?
- I'll have the rest in a minute, Joey.
90
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:13,831
Mr. Chapman?
91
00:07:16,502 --> 00:07:17,696
Thanks.
92
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:26,937
McCleary story in yet, Bax?
93
00:07:32,485 --> 00:07:34,885
How'd you make out in the torture chamber?
94
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:40,450
This is good. Give it a big play.
Mac'll do a byline follow-up tomorrow.
95
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:43,825
- What are these?
- Pics for that Lonely Heart spread.
96
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:45,820
- Junk them.
- But I...
97
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:47,092
Take Peters off the Lonely Hearts.
98
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:48,997
He's photographing these slobs
like a lineup in a soup kitchen
99
00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:50,660
instead of panting for a red-hot romance.
100
00:07:50,736 --> 00:07:52,533
- Okay. But I...
- Yeah?
101
00:07:52,939 --> 00:07:54,566
Yes, Mr. Madison.
102
00:07:58,211 --> 00:08:00,611
- Get an ax, smear it with blood.
- Yeah? Whose?
103
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,171
Yours. If you can't spare any,
use chocolate syrup or something.
104
00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:07,652
Chocolate? Goody! When I'm through,
I can make a plate of fudge. Drop in.
105
00:08:08,721 --> 00:08:12,157
So, you still insist a woman having 20 kids
is worth a feature article?
106
00:08:12,225 --> 00:08:15,422
Hi, genius.
I think it's worth a whole front page.
107
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:18,391
It scares me, this maternal instinct of yours.
108
00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:20,955
Decided where you're taking me
to dinner tonight?
109
00:08:23,736 --> 00:08:25,966
If Chapman hasn't been canned,
110
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,169
you're going to dine with the worst loser
who ever paid off a bet.
111
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:31,608
Then you'd better stash some
bicarbonate soda in your bag, princess.
112
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:32,837
You're gonna need it.
113
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:35,437
Don't count your steaks
before you hear the sizzle.
114
00:08:37,617 --> 00:08:39,608
Well, what's the word? Are you ex or still?
115
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,880
They're not dumb enough
to throw out a winner.
116
00:08:41,954 --> 00:08:44,650
Congratulations. I knew you'd stick
their stocks right back in their teeth.
117
00:08:44,724 --> 00:08:46,555
I told them if they fired me,
McCleary would quit, too,
118
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:49,060
and then they'd be in real trouble.
119
00:08:49,128 --> 00:08:50,527
I wouldn't put it past them
to try and dump you
120
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:53,929
to get out of paying the bonus that's
staring them right in their glassy eyes.
121
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,331
I've got news for you.
122
00:08:55,401 --> 00:08:57,528
I'm going to cut you in
for a piece of that bonus.
123
00:08:57,603 --> 00:08:59,298
What do you want me to do, retire?
124
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:00,566
I thought we could make a deal with Madison
125
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,698
to buy some of the company's stock.
126
00:09:01,774 --> 00:09:03,901
You know, kid,
we could end up owning this newspaper.
127
00:09:03,976 --> 00:09:06,536
- Well, that's the best offer I've had all week.
- I'll make you another one.
128
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:09,080
I'll take you to dinner tonight.
You pick the spot.
129
00:09:10,349 --> 00:09:14,012
I'll make you a better offer.
My date's buying. She lost a bet.
130
00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:17,544
The Grand Duchess from Vassar again?
The way I feel, I can put up with anything.
131
00:09:17,623 --> 00:09:19,818
- I'm more worried, can she put up with you?
- Get her ready.
132
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:24,124
We've got to be at the ballroom at 8:00.
There's no time for nose powder.
133
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:32,597
Don't break your ears with that grin.
I can see. He's still in.
134
00:09:33,005 --> 00:09:36,532
- No loud whoops of joy, baby?
- Well, I tried everything.
135
00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:39,770
I crossed my fingers,
said prayers, burned candles.
136
00:09:39,845 --> 00:09:43,713
- Who's your tailor, princess?
- Let's get out of here.
137
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,075
I've had to look at that Chapman face all day.
138
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:50,714
I've got to cover his fiasco tonight
and suffer some more.
139
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:53,987
At least just looking at you for an hour
will be a welcome change.
140
00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:57,496
- Lf you're taking me to dinner, let's go.
- Taking him?
141
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,195
Wait a minute.
Our bet was between you and me.
142
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:03,463
Our bet was loser buys dinner.
We didn't say for how many.
143
00:10:03,536 --> 00:10:06,994
- Why, you double-crossing...
- I knew you'd be a good loser.
144
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:10,807
Someday remind me to tell you about girls.
145
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:20,248
You talk a couple of these suckers
into getting married.
146
00:10:20,319 --> 00:10:21,581
These Lonely Heart slobs got the gimmies,
147
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:23,519
and we've got plenty to give them
from the advertisers.
148
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:25,284
If you talk one couple
into getting married by 9:00,
149
00:10:25,358 --> 00:10:27,883
by 12:00 we'll have a dozen lined up
for wedded bliss.
150
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,155
- McCleary, the Brooklyn cupid.
- McCleary, the human yes man.
151
00:10:30,229 --> 00:10:31,594
Hey, Julie!
152
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:34,155
- Hello, Charlie.
- Charlie.
153
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:38,225
- How are you, Barnes?
- Fine, Mark. You're looking fit. McCleary.
154
00:10:38,571 --> 00:10:39,595
Thank you.
155
00:10:39,672 --> 00:10:41,799
What goes on? Are you ghosting
Allison's features, Charlie?
156
00:10:41,874 --> 00:10:43,774
No, he's helping me with research
for that series
157
00:10:43,843 --> 00:10:45,640
on historical monuments in New York.
158
00:10:45,711 --> 00:10:47,872
You couldn't pick a better man.
I ought to know.
159
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:50,006
Remember those old days, Mark?
160
00:10:50,082 --> 00:10:53,813
Like the time I cut the phone cables
at the Lindbergh trial?
161
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:55,520
You scooped me. Almost cost me my job.
162
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:59,957
Scooped you, the wire services,
scooped everybody. That was the year...
163
00:11:00,026 --> 00:11:02,358
That was the year you won the Pulitzer Prize.
164
00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:06,826
Listen, Mark.
This stuff I've been doing for Julie, it's...
165
00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:13,200
- Mark, I think I'm ready to go back to work.
- That's fine. I'm glad to hear it, Charlie.
166
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,164
How about it, Mark? How about a job?
167
00:11:19,645 --> 00:11:21,510
- Why not?
- Thanks.
168
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:25,447
- Charlie, I'm so proud of you!
- This is gonna take a little juggling.
169
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:26,849
I won't be able to do anything right away.
170
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:28,978
Look, Charlie, I'll call you.
We're late, we gotta rush.
171
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:31,785
Sure, Mark, I know how it is,
always on the go.
172
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:35,258
- Coffee in the morning? Skinners?
- Sure thing, Julie.
173
00:11:40,199 --> 00:11:41,257
All the time I thought you were a...
174
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:43,699
- How much did you give him?
- $10. He earned it.
175
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:44,929
Ten bucks?
176
00:11:45,004 --> 00:11:47,336
- Buy a lot of whiskey.
- Did you see that rum-dumb?
177
00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:49,806
- Come midnight, he'll be in the gutter.
- Now, wait a minute.
178
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:51,274
He's an alky, Julie.
You shouldn't give an alky
179
00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:52,367
more than a buck at a time.
180
00:11:52,445 --> 00:11:55,414
You're liable to kill him.
Ten bucks, he can take a bath in it.
181
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:58,314
But... Well, this job
will change everything for him.
182
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:01,319
Job? I wouldn't have him in my office,
let alone on my staff.
183
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:04,117
In you go, sucker. Where are you going?
184
00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:07,085
I'm not going to let him go off believing this.
185
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:10,617
- Do you want to break his heart?
- Do I? What do you think you're doing?
186
00:12:10,696 --> 00:12:13,358
I'm giving him hopes and dreams.
A rummy like that lives on dreams.
187
00:12:13,432 --> 00:12:17,061
- He's happy. Why spoil it?
- Happy? Happy like your Lonely Hearts,
188
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,798
looking forward to those big romances
they've been promised?
189
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:23,069
- Only Charlie's romance is with a bottle.
- Get in.
190
00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:48,057
Biddle, don't leave that camera at half mast.
Stop goldbricking on the other guys.
191
00:12:48,134 --> 00:12:52,127
I must have got 100 shots already,
Mr. Chapman. My arm's giving out.
192
00:12:52,204 --> 00:12:56,334
You've only started. I want shots of people
from every state. Now start shooting.
193
00:12:58,911 --> 00:13:01,038
How are you doing, princess?
194
00:13:01,147 --> 00:13:04,116
Well, it's an effort,
but I'm trying to keep from screaming.
195
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:06,981
You were a real bundle of laughs
during dinner, too.
196
00:13:07,052 --> 00:13:08,781
Why don't you simmer down now?
197
00:13:08,854 --> 00:13:10,515
You're not so pretty
when your feathers are all ruffled.
198
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:13,183
Don't, Steve. I'm in no mood for levity.
199
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:17,491
- Do you feel like dancing?
- Do you figure that'll smooth my feathers?
200
00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:21,691
I've got a great idea for you. Grab yourself
one of these Lonely Heart boys.
201
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:25,066
Tell him you're a club date. Con him.
Get his life history.
202
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:28,903
- And there's your feature for tomorrow.
- Mark Chapman, Junior.
203
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:31,568
It'll sell papers, you left that out.
204
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:34,871
Happy hunting, cupid.
Mustn't let the boss down.
205
00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:38,312
Save at least one dance for me, princess.
206
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:58,034
Every time I aim my lens
at one of these walking zombies,
207
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:01,334
I think of the time
I covered the Miss America contest.
208
00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:03,705
The tears almost start to flow.
209
00:14:06,378 --> 00:14:09,370
From McCleary, you get nothing but service.
Ten minutes before 9:00,
210
00:14:09,448 --> 00:14:13,179
and couple number one. Mary and Joe
met in front of the Arkansas booth.
211
00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:16,221
It was love at first sight, almost. Right?
212
00:14:16,288 --> 00:14:20,349
Well, sure. I'm from Texas,
but I sure love that Arkansas cooking.
213
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,890
- You love her, don't you?
- Well, sure, I reckon so.
214
00:14:23,963 --> 00:14:26,158
- Mary, you love him?
- Yes.
215
00:14:26,966 --> 00:14:31,130
- See, they're crazy about each other.
- Yeah, that's fine. Hey, Edwards.
216
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:33,535
We've got a romance going here.
They're ready for the orange blossoms.
217
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,837
- Well, how do you do? And congratulations.
- Save the teeth for the bandstand.
218
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:38,171
Get up there
and make the big announcement.
219
00:14:38,244 --> 00:14:42,044
Yes, sir, Mr. Chapman.
Come with me, you lucky, lucky people.
220
00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:46,842
Hey, you ain't gonna forget about the bed
with the built-in television set?
221
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:48,614
You'll spend your honeymoon in front of it.
222
00:14:51,624 --> 00:14:55,321
- Nice going, Steve, keep punching.
- I'll get the camera boys up to cover it.
223
00:14:57,129 --> 00:15:01,862
- Did you find a feature to write about yet?
- I haven't, and I don't intend to.
224
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:05,435
This bribing of poor, ignorant dopes
into a public wedding
225
00:15:05,504 --> 00:15:07,665
is cheap, cruel and disgusting.
226
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:10,573
This whole Wild West show is ridiculous,
and I want no part of it.
227
00:15:10,643 --> 00:15:13,305
Miss Allison,
your contract has six months to run.
228
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:17,281
My contract was made with Mr. Madison
before you took over the <i>Express.</i>
229
00:15:17,349 --> 00:15:18,543
If you don't like the way I run the paper,
230
00:15:18,617 --> 00:15:21,245
I have an agreement
that might be satisfactory to both of us.
231
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,811
Take six months' vacation with pay!
232
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:30,286
No, thank you, Mr. Chapman. I'll work it out.
I like my feature writing.
233
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,898
Thinking people like it, too,
234
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:37,561
even though there aren't many of them
buying the <i>Express</i> anymore. Good night!
235
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:43,605
That's it.
236
00:15:50,382 --> 00:15:53,613
<i>Friends, brothers and sisters</i>
<i>in the Lonely Hearts Club.</i>
237
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:55,677
<i>I have wonderful news for you,</i>
238
00:15:55,754 --> 00:15:59,747
<i>living proof that this magnificent club</i>
<i>is more than just a name.</i>
239
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:04,386
<i>But first, how would you like to meet</i>
<i>the great man who created your club?</i>
240
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:11,998
<i>Mr. Mark Chapman,</i>
<i>editor of the</i> New York Express.
241
00:16:12,071 --> 00:16:14,665
<i>Put the spotlight on him, over there!</i>
242
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,782
<i>Now here's the wonderful news.</i>
243
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:37,056
<i>Meet Mary and Joe, two happy people</i>
<i>who came here tonight as total strangers.</i>
244
00:16:37,463 --> 00:16:42,400
<i>They met, they danced, they found love.</i>
<i>They're going to get married!</i>
245
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,474
George?
246
00:16:57,516 --> 00:17:00,041
<i>- As the first couple who fell in love tonight...</i>
- George Grant!
247
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:01,814
<i>...Mary and Joe will receive...</i>
- It is you!
248
00:17:01,887 --> 00:17:03,752
<i>...compliments of the</i> Express...
- Charlotte.
249
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:05,119
<i>... a wedding night in a New York hotel...</i>
250
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:08,921
Finding you here...
I was so sure that you must be dead.
251
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:11,759
George Grant is dead.
252
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:14,259
Yes, I just heard.
253
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,134
- You're the...
- We can't talk here.
254
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:19,901
We can talk at my place, George.
255
00:17:20,806 --> 00:17:23,036
We've got a lot to talk about.
256
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:26,509
Go on out. I'll meet you at the side entrance.
257
00:17:32,785 --> 00:17:35,151
The years have been kinder to you.
258
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:38,621
What is it, 19, 20?
I used to keep track, but I don't...
259
00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:41,716
What's the difference?
Now that you found me, what do you want?
260
00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:57,401
May I?
261
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:07,375
- Come on, quit stalling around.
- What was it they called you at the ball?
262
00:18:07,453 --> 00:18:08,977
- Mark?
- Chapman.
263
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:15,755
When did you change your name, George?
Right after you left me?
264
00:18:17,062 --> 00:18:18,962
So I wouldn't find you?
265
00:18:19,631 --> 00:18:21,292
You knew I was so crazy about you
266
00:18:21,366 --> 00:18:24,028
I'd look and look and look,
didn't you, George?
267
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,697
Come on, get to it. What do you want?
268
00:18:27,739 --> 00:18:32,574
You're still in a hurry, aren't you?
That's the thing I remember best about you.
269
00:18:32,878 --> 00:18:37,645
The fellow who always ran and never walked.
Had to get places fast!
270
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,749
And you got places, didn't you, George?
271
00:18:44,323 --> 00:18:46,883
Here, you need some money?
Here's some for now.
272
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,860
Money? The payoff, George?
273
00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:54,497
How much? How much for each year?
274
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:58,633
How much for the agony
and the heartbreak and the fear?
275
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:03,141
- Charlotte, cut the ham act.
- This could be for the doctor bill, see?
276
00:19:06,578 --> 00:19:10,173
I was 20 years younger then,
took things more seriously.
277
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:14,142
I can't imagine how much.
278
00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:18,087
You're boring me now, like you always did.
279
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:20,388
People always bored you
280
00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:23,155
when you didn't have
any more use for them, didn't they, George?
281
00:19:23,228 --> 00:19:25,025
Bores and nuisances, I get rid of them.
282
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:27,497
Yeah, the same gentle way
you got rid of me.
283
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:28,692
My lawyer will get in touch with you.
284
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:31,702
He'll arrange a quiet divorce
and generous alimony.
285
00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:34,671
You're an important man now,
aren't you, George?
286
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:37,038
Editor of the <i>New York Express.</i>
287
00:19:38,977 --> 00:19:43,346
I never thought I'd be the wife of the editor
of a big New York newspaper.
288
00:19:43,415 --> 00:19:47,112
You're not, and don't get any ideas
about forcing yourself.
289
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:51,020
You've got nothing to gain by refusing me
a divorce now like you did 20 years ago.
290
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:56,759
I was young then and so foolishly in love.
I wanted so much to hold onto you.
291
00:19:57,496 --> 00:20:00,021
I made all of my mistakes when I was young,
and you were the biggest one.
292
00:20:00,098 --> 00:20:02,794
I fell for an attractive hunk of flesh.
293
00:20:04,169 --> 00:20:07,627
"Hold me." You didn't try to hang on.
You strangled me.
294
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,936
I'd smother to death with you.
295
00:20:15,747 --> 00:20:19,808
Turnabout's fair play.
When you walked out on me, I died inside.
296
00:20:20,352 --> 00:20:23,116
When I walk out of here, you're gonna die.
297
00:20:23,188 --> 00:20:27,852
Everything you worked for, grabbed for,
ruined people to get, it's all gonna die!
298
00:20:27,926 --> 00:20:29,393
You're a neurotic screwball!
299
00:20:29,461 --> 00:20:33,955
I'm gonna spread your story all over town.
Mark Chapman, the great editor!
300
00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:37,829
Wife deserter!
Living under a false name for 20 years.
301
00:20:39,137 --> 00:20:42,334
What else did you cover up
living under a phony name?
302
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:44,637
Your publishers are gonna love this.
303
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:49,044
And the other papers, they'll cut you
to ribbons with this information!
304
00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,470
Hi, honey, let me have the city room.
305
00:23:33,812 --> 00:23:37,179
This is Elkins.
If you need me, I'm over in Skinners.
306
00:23:38,316 --> 00:23:41,808
What? Having breakfast. Yeah, breakfast.
307
00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:53,323
Yes, Julie, after that fortunate
and historical meeting with Mark yesterday,
308
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:57,629
I had considerable difficulty
wooing the fickle Morpheus.
309
00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:01,939
That explains it.
Those bleeding eyes today.
310
00:24:02,474 --> 00:24:05,341
Well, I did have a couple
with the boys down below.
311
00:24:05,410 --> 00:24:08,277
A sort of celebration, and then farewell.
312
00:24:11,049 --> 00:24:13,574
You should have left them long ago, Charlie.
313
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:15,916
Any man who was big enough
in his day to rate that,
314
00:24:16,555 --> 00:24:20,389
a place in Skinner's Hall of Fame,
is still too big for Dead-End Street.
315
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:25,028
No regrets, Julie. My temporary alliance
with the denizens of the Bowery
316
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:29,863
has provided me with a deeper insight
into the whys and wherefores of mankind.
317
00:24:35,674 --> 00:24:38,006
A proven medical fact,
when the human system
318
00:24:38,076 --> 00:24:40,840
has been lengthily nurtured
on alcoholic stimulants,
319
00:24:40,912 --> 00:24:44,871
any abrupt cessation of same
will result in a negative reaction.
320
00:24:45,016 --> 00:24:46,381
Absolutely.
321
00:24:47,652 --> 00:24:52,385
But I'm tapering off. I'll be a firmly-rooted
passenger on the old water wagon
322
00:24:52,524 --> 00:24:54,856
by the time Mark's ready for me.
323
00:24:57,295 --> 00:25:01,561
Charlie, don't bet everything
on Mark Chapman.
324
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:06,666
He won't let me down.
First time I felt ready, I asked him for a job,
325
00:25:06,938 --> 00:25:10,032
and what happened?
He offered me one, didn't he?
326
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:15,173
- Mr. Lonely Heart.
- Compliments of the <i>Express,</i> Myrtle.
327
00:25:15,747 --> 00:25:18,545
- I see you read. You stick with the radio.
- Yeah.
328
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:20,744
Hey, McCleary,
I read that rag of yours by accident.
329
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:23,287
Yeah, me, too.
From ax murder to Ionely hearts.
330
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:25,653
What are you trying to prove,
you're versatile or something?
331
00:25:25,724 --> 00:25:27,885
What are you gentlemen
reading our rag for?
332
00:25:27,959 --> 00:25:30,427
Trying to find out
what's happening that's news?
333
00:25:30,495 --> 00:25:32,929
Good morning, kiddies. What's the word?
334
00:25:35,066 --> 00:25:36,624
Silly, that's the word.
335
00:25:36,701 --> 00:25:38,635
Still a heaping bunch of joy,
aren't you, princess?
336
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:43,663
Lonely Hearts Ball. Journalism has certainly
changed since the old days.
337
00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:47,302
What happened to you last night?
Pulled a fast fade on me.
338
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:50,712
- Don't tell me you actually missed me?
- I needed protection.
339
00:25:50,782 --> 00:25:53,250
Some of our love-hungry subscribers
got mixed up.
340
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:56,014
They were offering me deep-freezes
and vacuum cleaners.
341
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:59,318
- I'm surprised you refused.
- How do you know I did?
342
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:02,849
Certainly heavy coverage
on the unrequited passion set.
343
00:26:03,261 --> 00:26:06,924
Our love and romance edition, Charlie.
Even the crossword puzzle.
344
00:26:06,998 --> 00:26:08,966
But nothing from the Allison corner.
345
00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:12,335
Not interested in romance, Julie?
346
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:16,465
Not the kind that blossoms
on free gas stoves and television sets.
347
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:21,235
- About that Lonely Heart gag, I've got a...
- Steve, on the radio.
348
00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:27,652
- Julie. Hi, Charlie.
- Hi, Biddle.
349
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:31,086
Police call. Dead dame in a flat
on Third Avenue. Are you interested?
350
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:33,090
Well, she'd probably be a cheerful change.
351
00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:36,685
I'm still getting the icebox treatment
from the female on my left.
352
00:26:36,761 --> 00:26:40,162
After them scarecrows I shot last night,
I figure my luck's gotta change.
353
00:26:40,231 --> 00:26:43,428
Even dead, this dame's bound
to have more glamour.
354
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:45,467
Let's give her a look.
355
00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:48,801
Thanks for the coffee, kitten.
356
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:03,785
Another scarecrow. I'm batting goose eggs.
357
00:27:05,323 --> 00:27:07,848
Dames have got to make trouble
even when they die, don't they, pal?
358
00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:11,384
Yeah, water downstairs and water upstairs.
359
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:14,531
Probably wanted a room
with a swimming pool.
360
00:27:14,966 --> 00:27:16,866
Hey, Davis, what are you doing here?
361
00:27:16,935 --> 00:27:21,031
I just wanted to see if I couldn't get
to one of our calls before you did.
362
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:22,471
This isn't a homicide?
363
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:24,531
We got a new man
on the beat here, McCleary.
364
00:27:24,609 --> 00:27:26,167
He's built like you between the ears.
365
00:27:26,244 --> 00:27:29,975
He saw a hole in the back of the dame's head
and figured she was slugged.
366
00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:31,515
What's your guess, Lieutenant?
367
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:33,949
She put the hole
in the back of her head herself?
368
00:27:34,019 --> 00:27:36,783
Yeah, wise-eyes, that's it. That's it exactly.
369
00:27:36,855 --> 00:27:40,291
She slipped in the tub
and opened her skull on a faucet.
370
00:27:40,358 --> 00:27:43,953
- What was the lady's name, Sherlock?
- The landlady says Jane Jones.
371
00:27:44,029 --> 00:27:45,360
- Do you believe it?
- Yeah, I believe it.
372
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:47,762
I'm fresh out of nursery school.
373
00:27:48,466 --> 00:27:52,402
Jane Jones, alias Jane Doe.
Say, Dave, you're really humming.
374
00:27:53,204 --> 00:27:56,401
Look, nuisance, if you so much as make
these bedsprings squeak once again,
375
00:27:56,474 --> 00:28:00,308
- I'll throw you in the tub with the dame.
- Lieutenant, please.
376
00:28:04,616 --> 00:28:08,177
You're wrong, Dave.
She was murdered. Clear as your head.
377
00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:10,347
Murdered for her money.
378
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:13,949
Why, this lady must have spent easily
six or seven dollars a year on clothes.
379
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:15,492
Why don't you go home, McCleary?
380
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,462
There's nothing around here
to interest a big newsman like you.
381
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:27,827
Look, junior, keep your nose
in your own business, or I'll run you in
382
00:28:27,906 --> 00:28:31,137
- for obstruction, suspicion and vagrancy.
- Why, sure, Dave.
383
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:33,837
I just thought there might be something
in here to help identify her.
384
00:28:33,912 --> 00:28:35,243
No suitcase, huh?
385
00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:41,715
- In there, boys.
- Okay, Steve, I got all I need.
386
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:46,957
Thanks, Dave.
387
00:28:49,127 --> 00:28:52,062
- No, not you two again.
- What do you guys do,
388
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:54,758
smell these things
before the police call is even in?
389
00:28:54,833 --> 00:28:57,301
Try to forget your mugs.
There's a lady in the bathroom.
390
00:28:57,368 --> 00:29:00,531
- Yes, so knock before entering.
- Coming through.
391
00:29:10,381 --> 00:29:12,406
- What'd you pinch that for?
- Look familiar?
392
00:29:12,484 --> 00:29:15,544
I had them in front of me all night, didn't I?
393
00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:18,747
Hey, that's off a Lonely Hearts badge!
394
00:29:18,823 --> 00:29:22,554
Yeah. How many pictures
did you and the boys take at the ball?
395
00:29:22,627 --> 00:29:24,925
Three, maybe four hundred. I don't know.
396
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:27,260
Rush the print of Miss Bathtub
through the lab.
397
00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:28,594
Then check it against the others.
398
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:30,964
- See if you can match them up, okay?
- Sure.
399
00:29:31,035 --> 00:29:34,937
- Shouldn't take more than a week.
- Yeah, but I want it done in an hour.
400
00:29:35,006 --> 00:29:36,701
- I'll see you at the office.
- Where are you going?
401
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:39,903
I'm gonna hitch a ride to the morgue.
If you match them, call me.
402
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,674
How about a ride to the morgue, Pete?
403
00:30:04,969 --> 00:30:07,096
Hey, Needle Nellie, anybody home?
404
00:30:07,172 --> 00:30:08,662
Hey, handsome.
405
00:30:09,007 --> 00:30:11,271
- How you doing, sweetheart?
- Doing all right, handsome.
406
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:13,037
Come here and give us a kiss.
407
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,815
- How's business at the morgue, Nellie?
- Dead.
408
00:30:19,551 --> 00:30:21,178
Business is dead.
409
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:25,621
- It's good to see you, handsome.
- Likewise, sweetheart.
410
00:30:25,690 --> 00:30:27,385
A long time between dates.
411
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:30,621
But right now,
I come seeking your expert female advice.
412
00:30:30,695 --> 00:30:34,131
Anybody that's lived as long as me
can give it. Shoot.
413
00:30:34,732 --> 00:30:37,565
Nellie, if you had just one dress
to your name
414
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:39,535
and you'd fastened something onto it
with a safety pin,
415
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:40,969
and maybe you were in a hurry,
416
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,008
would you take time to undo the pin,
or would you rip the whole thing off?
417
00:30:44,075 --> 00:30:46,305
- This is a riddle?
- No, seriously.
418
00:30:46,377 --> 00:30:51,041
Well, if I had 10 dresses and the house
was burning down, I'd still undo the pin.
419
00:30:51,115 --> 00:30:52,639
Any lady would.
420
00:30:53,017 --> 00:30:55,485
That's what I figured.
I just wanted a woman to confirm it.
421
00:30:55,553 --> 00:30:57,453
I love you, Nellie. I love you.
422
00:30:57,522 --> 00:31:00,047
- Where you going, handsome?
- I gotta see the doc.
423
00:31:00,124 --> 00:31:01,955
Maybe I can get you some business, Nellie.
424
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:11,364
Did you get those ringside ducats
I sent you?
425
00:31:11,436 --> 00:31:13,427
Steve! Yeah, it was a great fight.
426
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:15,438
Mishke really tore that Haybelly apart,
didn't he?
427
00:31:15,506 --> 00:31:19,840
Had so much blood spattered on my glasses,
I missed the knockout punch.
428
00:31:20,478 --> 00:31:24,175
Look, Doc,
they just brought in an accidental death.
429
00:31:24,249 --> 00:31:27,047
- They're putting her in the freezer right now.
- So?
430
00:31:27,118 --> 00:31:30,110
So, I'd like you to give her
the onceover for me. An autopsy.
431
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:33,646
Accidents are out of my province.
You know that, Steve.
432
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:35,383
It's going to be
a great World Series this year.
433
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:37,087
Yeah, that it is.
434
00:31:37,528 --> 00:31:41,362
I don't suppose you'd be interested
in viewing the festivities from a box seat?
435
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:47,132
Are you trying to bribe a city official?
436
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:51,135
Right behind first base, Doc.
437
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:11,028
Yeah. Yeah, get some prints ready.
I think we've got our front page.
438
00:32:11,095 --> 00:32:14,792
Well, this is your lucky day. Drop back,
I want you to mark my racing form.
439
00:32:14,866 --> 00:32:16,766
Get the door, will you?
440
00:32:17,368 --> 00:32:20,064
Yeah, and don't forget, I smoke cigars.
441
00:32:20,838 --> 00:32:24,831
- Hey, Steve, let me wipe those off a little.
- Wipe them tomorrow.
442
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:32,008
Will you smile again
if I take you to dinner tonight?
443
00:32:32,083 --> 00:32:34,847
- A little celebration coming up.
- What's the celebration?
444
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:37,649
Another McCleary scoop.
Getting monotonous, isn't it?
445
00:32:37,722 --> 00:32:42,557
That dinner. A two-party celebration,
or are you bringing a friend?
446
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:44,559
Just you and me alone.
447
00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:47,825
I'll smile again.
What are the fragile treasures?
448
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:52,060
Very rare items.
Pictures of a dame with her mouth shut.
449
00:32:53,071 --> 00:32:55,972
- Joey, catch the door, will you?
- All right.
450
00:32:58,676 --> 00:33:01,270
I've been waiting a long time
for a chance to say this.
451
00:33:01,346 --> 00:33:03,439
- Stop the presses!
- Did you get a morning-after story
452
00:33:03,514 --> 00:33:05,004
on any of those couples
we married last night?
453
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:07,483
I got a story from one
of the Lonely Heart Ball guests, all right.
454
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:11,079
But she didn't get married last night.
She got murdered!
455
00:33:19,964 --> 00:33:23,263
- Who is she?
- A Jane Doe. Nobody knows her real name.
456
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:25,996
The police think she slipped in the bathtub
and bashed her head in,
457
00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:30,507
- or they did until a little while ago.
- But you knew better all the time?
458
00:33:30,575 --> 00:33:32,941
After Doc O'Hanlon got through
cutting her up for me.
459
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:36,538
She died between 9:00 and 12:00 last night,
before she went under in the tub.
460
00:33:36,614 --> 00:33:38,479
No water in her lungs.
461
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:40,283
Did he find anything else?
462
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:44,788
Yeah, her killer was a man, middle-aged,
fair complexion. Had brown hair.
463
00:33:45,390 --> 00:33:47,620
O'Hanlon found that
in scraping under her fingernails.
464
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:50,593
You ran into this
just by playing a hunch, huh?
465
00:33:50,661 --> 00:33:53,858
A string from a Lonely Heart badge
was on her dress in the closet.
466
00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:57,628
The badge had been torn off.
I followed through from there.
467
00:34:00,371 --> 00:34:04,364
Well, is this a story,
this Lonely Heart murdered after the ball?
468
00:34:04,575 --> 00:34:06,805
Can you sell papers with this?
469
00:34:10,248 --> 00:34:13,342
Baxter, Jordan, Allison,
get in here right away.
470
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:15,477
They didn't know her name, you said?
471
00:34:15,553 --> 00:34:18,920
Well, she called herself Jane Jones.
How phony can you get?
472
00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:20,014
We've just been struck by lightning.
473
00:34:20,091 --> 00:34:22,025
It's a great follow-up
for the Lonely Hearts Ball.
474
00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:24,118
Tell them about it, Steve.
475
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:30,997
We'll call her Miss Lonely Heart,
no other name. Alone in the city, friendless.
476
00:34:31,536 --> 00:34:34,801
She went to our shindig last night,
hunting for a soul mate.
477
00:34:34,872 --> 00:34:37,363
Maybe she found one, the wrong one.
478
00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:39,872
Anyway, she left early,
and sometime before midnight
479
00:34:39,944 --> 00:34:41,343
she was beaten to death in her room
480
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:44,540
by a brown-haired, middle-aged man
of fair complexion.
481
00:34:44,615 --> 00:34:46,480
A smash follow-up is right.
482
00:34:46,551 --> 00:34:49,247
The killer had a head full of brains.
Good nerves.
483
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,723
He lugged her to the bathroom,
stripped her, tossed the body in the tub.
484
00:34:54,459 --> 00:34:58,520
No. No, he stood the body in the tub.
Aimed, let go!
485
00:34:58,696 --> 00:35:03,190
Bang, her head cracks the faucet.
Almost perfect crime. Ordinary accident.
486
00:35:04,035 --> 00:35:06,936
He's working smartly,
a guy with imagination.
487
00:35:07,004 --> 00:35:10,963
He takes her slip, stockings,
washes them, hangs them up to dry.
488
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,000
He wipes his prints off everywhere.
489
00:35:13,077 --> 00:35:16,274
He starts getting rid of anything
that could identify her.
490
00:35:16,347 --> 00:35:18,907
He took a ring off her,
probably a wedding or engagement ring.
491
00:35:18,983 --> 00:35:22,111
- How do you know that?
- Whitish circle, third finger, left hand.
492
00:35:22,186 --> 00:35:25,587
- O'Hanlon spotted it at the morgue.
- All right, go on, go on.
493
00:35:25,656 --> 00:35:27,954
Well, he grabs any other personal items
that might identify her
494
00:35:28,025 --> 00:35:29,856
and throws them in her suitcase and blows.
495
00:35:29,927 --> 00:35:32,361
- How do you know she's got a suitcase?
- Every dame's got a suitcase.
496
00:35:32,430 --> 00:35:34,022
But there wasn't one
in Miss Lonely Heart's room.
497
00:35:34,098 --> 00:35:35,861
This'll kick up the circulation.
498
00:35:36,701 --> 00:35:40,137
We can make the 5:00 edition exclusive.
Steve can do the lead story.
499
00:35:40,204 --> 00:35:42,263
Jordan, I want three column cuts
of the dame's picture at the ball
500
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:44,433
and the murder photo.
Allison, write me a sob story,
501
00:35:44,509 --> 00:35:46,568
"Miss Lonely Heart
won't be Ionely anymore."
502
00:35:46,644 --> 00:35:47,736
Fine job, Steve.
503
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,303
Sure, it's a great job,
but we're gonna top it.
504
00:35:50,381 --> 00:35:51,439
How?
505
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,513
- Bury her.
- Bury her?
506
00:35:57,555 --> 00:35:59,682
The best story I ever dug up, and he tops it.
507
00:35:59,757 --> 00:36:02,157
By 5:00 tonight, Miss Lonely Heart
will be selling newspapers for us
508
00:36:02,226 --> 00:36:05,923
on every street corner in Manhattan.
Now, go on, get going.
509
00:37:42,126 --> 00:37:43,787
Be seeing you, Humpty.
510
00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:31,269
Look, I've shown you everything in the shop.
That's the last one I've got!
511
00:38:35,513 --> 00:38:36,605
Mark!
512
00:38:39,283 --> 00:38:41,217
- Mark, old boy!
- How are you, Charlie.
513
00:38:41,285 --> 00:38:45,085
What distasteful mission brings you to this
unholy neighborhood, Mark, my friend?
514
00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:46,589
I'm just looking around.
I like to keep my hand in,
515
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,124
even though I am strapped
to a desk right now.
516
00:38:48,192 --> 00:38:50,126
You wouldn't mean you're keeping
your hand in by working
517
00:38:50,194 --> 00:38:51,821
on this Lonely Heart murder,
would you, now, Mark?
518
00:38:51,896 --> 00:38:53,955
I've got a staff to take care of that for me.
519
00:38:54,031 --> 00:38:56,727
You can't kid an old newshound
like me, Mark.
520
00:38:56,801 --> 00:39:00,999
Still following our old formula,
first check the hock shops for a clue?
521
00:39:01,072 --> 00:39:03,336
Didn't wanna tip your hand
to those cops in there, did you?
522
00:39:03,407 --> 00:39:05,637
I tell you I'm not down here on business.
Now stop playing hawkshaw!
523
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:08,770
Let me show you Charlie Barnes
still has the master's touch
524
00:39:08,846 --> 00:39:11,713
- when it comes to following up a lead, Mark.
- Tell me about it later, will you,
525
00:39:11,782 --> 00:39:15,684
- when you come back to work for me?
- You're afraid I'll get drunk and tip the story.
526
00:39:15,753 --> 00:39:18,881
- I'm tapering off, Mark.
- That's fine, Charlie. I'll call you.
527
00:39:18,956 --> 00:39:23,825
Let me work this with you, Mark. I know
this whole district from gutter to rum-heads.
528
00:39:23,894 --> 00:39:26,226
Pete in the pawnshop's
an honored friend of mine.
529
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:27,992
- Yeah.
- I can get him to work with me and...
530
00:39:28,065 --> 00:39:30,898
- Hello, Charlie!
- Go away.
531
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:35,400
- Here, Charlie, here's something to count.
- I don't want a handout, Mark.
532
00:39:35,473 --> 00:39:37,498
- I want to work.
- You can pay me later. I'll call you, Charlie.
533
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:39,338
Mark, let me help...
534
00:40:13,544 --> 00:40:14,704
Hang onto them, Pete.
535
00:40:14,779 --> 00:40:17,873
We'll drop back payday
and look them over again.
536
00:40:25,022 --> 00:40:26,489
Them guys should wear glasses.
537
00:40:26,557 --> 00:40:29,185
They do so much looking,
but never no buying.
538
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:31,125
Get this for me, Pete.
539
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:34,356
Taking something out for a change
instead of putting it in, Charlie?
540
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:37,526
I admit to the novelty of the occasion, Peter.
541
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:50,109
- Hey, you didn't hock this with me.
- Doing a favor for a friend.
542
00:40:52,082 --> 00:40:56,178
Them cops. You know, if someday
they should buy something from me, I'd...
543
00:40:56,253 --> 00:40:59,620
No, that'd be bad. I'd drop dead.
544
00:41:02,226 --> 00:41:06,185
You know, Charlie, I ought to be
in some other kind of business.
545
00:41:06,697 --> 00:41:10,497
You really meet a very poor class of people
in this business.
546
00:41:10,768 --> 00:41:13,259
Not meaning anything personal,
you understand.
547
00:41:13,337 --> 00:41:16,773
But I'm always dealing with people
who are in trouble,
548
00:41:17,274 --> 00:41:21,608
people who gotta hock something.
People who gotta buy something cheap.
549
00:41:24,582 --> 00:41:28,109
I don't like cheap things.
I never did and I never will.
550
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:34,356
I should have been big fur man, maybe,
or big jewelry man.
551
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,651
Then I could deal with rich people.
552
00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:42,554
That's the kind of people
I really prefer to deal with.
553
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:47,694
- Hey! How much is on this ticket?
- Two bucks.
554
00:41:58,249 --> 00:41:59,841
Here, sign here.
555
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:08,424
You know, sometimes they say
even the rich people aren't happy.
556
00:42:08,492 --> 00:42:11,017
But how that could be, I don't know.
557
00:42:12,296 --> 00:42:15,857
Thank you, Peter.
Thank you for being in business!
558
00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:21,433
Thank you very much.
559
00:42:33,517 --> 00:42:35,041
A shot, Heeney.
560
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:38,614
You look like your blood pressure's boiling,
Charlie. What's the matter?
561
00:42:38,689 --> 00:42:40,680
The classic irony of the age, Heeney.
562
00:42:40,758 --> 00:42:43,659
Charlie Barnes, a stewbum,
rocking the newspaper world
563
00:42:43,727 --> 00:42:46,457
like he never did in all his sober days.
564
00:43:00,411 --> 00:43:02,208
- Composing.
- Yes, sir.
565
00:43:04,481 --> 00:43:07,712
Yes. Yes, madam,
I have two answers for you.
566
00:43:08,185 --> 00:43:11,313
First, you shouldn't talk
to strange men in bars.
567
00:43:11,388 --> 00:43:13,982
Second, because he asked you to marry him
568
00:43:14,058 --> 00:43:16,356
then hit you with a pretzel dish
when you refused
569
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:19,191
isn't conclusive proof
he's our Lonely Heart Killer,
570
00:43:19,263 --> 00:43:21,697
but thanks for calling, lady. Bye.
571
00:43:23,334 --> 00:43:26,326
Phony or not,
those tips belong to the police.
572
00:43:26,704 --> 00:43:30,299
When are you going to get rid of the idea
you're wearing an invisible badge?
573
00:43:30,374 --> 00:43:34,140
Julie Allison. Hello, Charlie. How are you?
574
00:43:36,714 --> 00:43:38,181
The Lonely Heart murder?
575
00:43:38,248 --> 00:43:42,844
And you've got to meet me right away.
We have to figure out how to handle this.
576
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,514
I know the killer, and it's dynamite.
577
00:43:46,757 --> 00:43:48,952
Well, Charlie,
that story is really Steve McCleary's.
578
00:43:49,026 --> 00:43:52,587
- I think you'd better talk to...
- No, no, Julie, I want you to have this.
579
00:43:52,663 --> 00:43:55,393
Now I can repay you, Julie child,
for everything.
580
00:43:55,466 --> 00:43:59,596
Julie, this is so... It's so tremendous,
it'll put both of us on top.
581
00:44:02,272 --> 00:44:04,035
What? What, Julie?
582
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:08,835
Okay, okay, both of you meet me.
583
00:44:08,912 --> 00:44:11,540
Maybe we will need
somebody like McCleary.
584
00:44:11,615 --> 00:44:14,175
Steve, Charlie says
he has information on the murder.
585
00:44:14,251 --> 00:44:18,654
- He's awfully excited about something.
- About two quarts full, probably.
586
00:44:19,890 --> 00:44:21,881
Yeah, Charlie, what's up?
587
00:44:22,726 --> 00:44:25,695
I wanted Julie to have this,
but she insists you be on in it.
588
00:44:25,763 --> 00:44:27,663
I mean you be in on it.
589
00:44:27,965 --> 00:44:30,297
- What's the matter, Charlie?
- No.
590
00:44:31,368 --> 00:44:34,462
- What? You're not sore, are you?
- No, go away!
591
00:44:36,006 --> 00:44:38,099
What? What have I got?
592
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:40,939
I've got the Lonely Heart Killer for you,
that's what!
593
00:44:41,011 --> 00:44:44,777
Gee, Charlie, that's great.
You getting him crocked so he'll confess?
594
00:44:44,848 --> 00:44:48,807
I haven't got him. I know who he is.
595
00:44:54,858 --> 00:44:55,950
What?
596
00:44:59,563 --> 00:45:03,465
Yes, I'm in a saloon.
I'm in Heeney's. But I'm not drunk.
597
00:45:04,034 --> 00:45:07,128
I've just taken the hottest story
of the century out of hock, and I'm gonna...
598
00:45:08,038 --> 00:45:11,064
He's really flying tonight.
See what your 10 bucks did?
599
00:45:11,141 --> 00:45:15,009
Stop treating him like some
weak-minded child. Listen to what he's got.
600
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:19,482
- He's not this excited for nothing.
- You know what he's got? The DTs.
601
00:45:19,616 --> 00:45:21,675
Charlie Barnes, tanked to the eyeballs,
602
00:45:21,752 --> 00:45:24,880
says he just took the Lonely Heart
murder solution out of hock.
603
00:45:26,056 --> 00:45:29,583
Hello, Charlie?
Still there? Let's start all over again.
604
00:45:30,294 --> 00:45:34,788
Listen, you mental midget. The only reason
I'm calling the <i>Express</i> is Julie Allison.
605
00:45:34,865 --> 00:45:37,732
Before I'd give this story
to an insolent young pup like you,
606
00:45:37,801 --> 00:45:39,792
I'd take it to the <i>Daily Leader!</i>
607
00:45:39,870 --> 00:45:42,304
Charlie's mad now.
Gonna sell it to the <i>Leader.</i>
608
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:46,069
- Hang up on the drunken slob.
- Julie? She just left.
609
00:45:46,477 --> 00:45:48,570
I guess we'll just have to read your story
in the <i>Leader</i> tomorrow.
610
00:45:48,645 --> 00:45:50,772
- So long, pal.
- Give me that.
611
00:45:51,815 --> 00:45:53,077
- Hello? Hello?
- Don't be silly, Julie.
612
00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:55,141
He'll just keep you up all night
listening to his fairytales.
613
00:45:55,219 --> 00:45:59,349
- Where was he calling from?
- Bellevue psycho ward, I think he said.
614
00:46:00,257 --> 00:46:01,747
Your 10 bucks.
615
00:47:13,697 --> 00:47:15,460
- Keep this for me, Heeney.
- Why, sure, Charlie.
616
00:47:15,532 --> 00:47:17,056
A couple hours.
617
00:47:17,868 --> 00:47:20,359
One more, Heeney. One for the road.
618
00:48:05,215 --> 00:48:06,739
Hello, Charlie.
619
00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:13,617
Mark. I thought you were still down
at the Bowery.
620
00:48:15,692 --> 00:48:18,024
I hear you got a story, Charlie.
621
00:48:18,195 --> 00:48:20,060
Where'd you hear that?
622
00:48:20,597 --> 00:48:25,364
- Isn't that what you told McCleary?
- Why, I was just schmoozing him, I...
623
00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:28,295
Lining him up for a little touch.
624
00:48:28,372 --> 00:48:31,432
I gave you some money.
What did you do with it?
625
00:48:31,775 --> 00:48:33,333
You didn't, by any chance,
find a pawn ticket
626
00:48:33,410 --> 00:48:36,379
- mixed in with the money, did you, Charlie?
- Pawn ticket? Why, I...
627
00:48:36,446 --> 00:48:40,177
Did you use the money
to get the story out of hock, Charlie?
628
00:48:41,218 --> 00:48:44,585
You've got something that belongs to me.
Where is it?
629
00:48:45,389 --> 00:48:47,220
You were on the way to the <i>Leader</i>
with some evidence.
630
00:48:47,291 --> 00:48:49,725
Where is it, Charlie? Where is it?
631
00:49:01,905 --> 00:49:04,738
It's a wonderful story, isn't it, Charlie?
632
00:49:05,509 --> 00:49:07,909
You wanted to be a big man, Mark.
633
00:49:08,745 --> 00:49:12,476
This will make you famous
beyond your most ambitious dreams.
634
00:49:13,884 --> 00:49:18,412
Great story?
I've waited all my life for a story like this.
635
00:49:19,456 --> 00:49:23,483
Well, you've got it, Charlie.
But you're not going to write it.
636
00:49:27,130 --> 00:49:30,622
You're crazy, Mark.
Twenty years you've covered the news.
637
00:49:30,701 --> 00:49:33,761
Seen the bright boys try this. It never works.
638
00:49:56,493 --> 00:49:59,587
We just heard about Charlie Barnes.
Rotten deal.
639
00:50:00,163 --> 00:50:04,293
It's hard when it's someone like Charlie
you've known for 22 years.
640
00:50:04,401 --> 00:50:06,164
I knew him 25 years.
641
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:10,167
I never expected to see him
laying on a slab in this place.
642
00:50:10,507 --> 00:50:15,001
Is that right, Doc? Was he found
in an alleyway across from the <i>Daily Leader?</i>
643
00:50:15,078 --> 00:50:17,205
- Steve...
- Yes, that's right.
644
00:50:17,447 --> 00:50:20,439
The <i>Daily Leader.</i> He had a story!
645
00:50:20,517 --> 00:50:23,509
But he was taking your clever,
insolent, fresh-guy advice
646
00:50:23,587 --> 00:50:27,216
- and giving it to the <i>Leader!</i>
- He was drunk, Julie. How could I know...
647
00:50:27,290 --> 00:50:29,656
Charlie Barnes never got so drunk
he didn't know a story!
648
00:50:29,726 --> 00:50:33,492
Or that he'd try to peddle
a phony tip to a newspaper! But you...
649
00:50:33,563 --> 00:50:35,394
You couldn't bother listening to him!
650
00:50:35,465 --> 00:50:38,798
You and that newsprint hero of yours,
Mark Chapman.
651
00:50:39,269 --> 00:50:41,032
You couldn't expect us to believe
that Charlie Barnes
652
00:50:41,104 --> 00:50:43,129
had any real information
on the murder, Julie.
653
00:50:43,206 --> 00:50:45,231
We still don't know that he did.
654
00:50:45,308 --> 00:50:49,711
If you and that stone-hearted, glory seeking,
"I am the great Mark Chapman"
655
00:50:49,780 --> 00:50:51,771
had thrown Charlie
the miserable crumb of respect
656
00:50:51,848 --> 00:50:54,510
of just listening to him, he'd be alive today!
657
00:50:54,584 --> 00:50:58,748
Julie, maybe you're right.
Maybe it is partly my fault Charlie's dead.
658
00:50:58,822 --> 00:51:01,882
I'm sorry. Really sorry. But what can I do?
659
00:51:02,392 --> 00:51:06,123
Don't go soft! Show Chapman
you're a chip off the old block.
660
00:51:06,596 --> 00:51:08,655
Have him give Charlie a fancy funeral.
661
00:51:08,732 --> 00:51:11,997
Great headline.
"The <i>Express</i> buries its cast-offs."
662
00:51:12,436 --> 00:51:14,097
It'll sell papers!
663
00:51:27,350 --> 00:51:31,912
Kenny, rewrite that one paragraph, will you?
Allison had a bad night. Yeah.
664
00:51:32,289 --> 00:51:35,087
I just got yesterday's figures
from circulation, Mark.
665
00:51:35,158 --> 00:51:38,491
Six hundred and ninety-six thousand.
You're moving up there.
666
00:51:38,562 --> 00:51:41,292
Looks as though it's going to cost
the <i>Express</i> some bonus money before long.
667
00:51:41,364 --> 00:51:44,765
Quicker than you can say,
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Stockholder Rawley!"
668
00:51:44,835 --> 00:51:46,666
We're only starting,
Mr. Madison, only starting.
669
00:51:46,736 --> 00:51:48,260
That's the spirit!
670
00:51:48,338 --> 00:51:50,272
When you get to the editor's chair,
remember one thing.
671
00:51:50,340 --> 00:51:54,743
You're a hero with a lifetime job,
as long as the circulation is rising.
672
00:51:55,045 --> 00:51:59,379
- What have you got there?
- Something that will keep circulation rising.
673
00:51:59,716 --> 00:52:01,581
Charlie Barnes' story.
674
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:04,378
What are you talking about?
675
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:06,820
Charlie wasn't near the <i>Daily Leader</i>
by accident, Mark.
676
00:52:06,890 --> 00:52:08,790
He had something to print.
677
00:52:08,859 --> 00:52:11,419
I couldn't find it in his effects
at the morgue this morning,
678
00:52:11,495 --> 00:52:15,932
but I found it at Heeney's bar,
the joint Charlie phoned from last night.
679
00:52:16,233 --> 00:52:19,134
Half a pawnshop ticket was still on the bag.
680
00:52:19,236 --> 00:52:21,431
Pete's Hock Shop. I checked it.
681
00:52:21,505 --> 00:52:24,838
Charlie came in the pawnshop last night
with a claim check.
682
00:52:24,908 --> 00:52:27,536
Said he was unhocking it for a friend.
683
00:52:28,478 --> 00:52:31,743
Well, what's in the bag?
Miss Lonely Heart's name and address?
684
00:52:32,916 --> 00:52:36,477
Better than that, Mark.
Much better than that.
685
00:52:38,054 --> 00:52:40,579
A picture of the guy who killed her.
686
00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:52,362
A picture?
You can't even see the guy's face!
687
00:52:52,435 --> 00:52:54,596
What's the matter, Mark?
This is the first real lead we've got.
688
00:52:54,671 --> 00:52:56,263
The way you talked,
I thought we had it all sewed up.
689
00:52:56,339 --> 00:52:59,604
Sure, it's a lead, but it's a thin one.
How much does this give us?
690
00:52:59,676 --> 00:53:04,773
Well, we're certain the dame had a husband.
They were married in 1931 in Connecticut.
691
00:53:05,248 --> 00:53:09,048
- The husband's the guy who killed her.
- How do you make that?
692
00:53:09,419 --> 00:53:11,580
The ring mark on her finger
must have been a wedding ring.
693
00:53:11,655 --> 00:53:14,055
The inscription inside
could have identified him.
694
00:53:14,124 --> 00:53:16,388
And he grabbed the pawn ticket
figuring she'd hocked some belongings
695
00:53:16,459 --> 00:53:18,893
- that might peg him.
- Makes sense.
696
00:53:19,396 --> 00:53:22,194
Charlie got the pawn ticket from the killer.
697
00:53:22,265 --> 00:53:25,701
He must have been with him sometime,
someplace, yesterday.
698
00:53:25,769 --> 00:53:28,329
A lot of people
could have seen them together, right?
699
00:53:28,405 --> 00:53:29,770
Could have.
700
00:53:31,141 --> 00:53:33,609
Splash this picture
on the front page tonight.
701
00:53:33,677 --> 00:53:35,975
Offer a reward for information.
702
00:53:39,149 --> 00:53:41,674
"Lonely Heart Killer strikes again."
703
00:53:43,153 --> 00:53:45,246
When you write the story,
say that Barnes was working on this case
704
00:53:45,322 --> 00:53:46,346
undercover for the <i>Express.</i>
705
00:53:46,423 --> 00:53:49,620
He got too close to the killer
and died in the line of duty.
706
00:53:49,693 --> 00:53:50,887
Mark, I don't know, it...
707
00:53:50,961 --> 00:53:54,863
Nobody can deny it. It'll help sell papers.
We'll offer $1,000.
708
00:53:55,232 --> 00:53:58,360
Look, kid, don't pin your hopes
on anybody being able
709
00:53:58,435 --> 00:54:02,030
to spot the guy from this.
Unless they got x-ray eyes.
710
00:54:02,339 --> 00:54:04,034
I'm sure Charlie connected
the guy in the picture
711
00:54:04,107 --> 00:54:08,601
with the bird who gave him the pawn ticket.
I'm going to fine-tooth the Bowery myself.
712
00:54:08,678 --> 00:54:11,374
It's even money
that's where Charlie ran into our man.
713
00:54:11,448 --> 00:54:12,972
Good luck, kid.
714
00:54:44,314 --> 00:54:47,875
- Well, I got them for you, McCleary.
- Good work, Heeney.
715
00:55:05,368 --> 00:55:09,634
Well, this does it. I'll never touch
another drop the rest of my life.
716
00:55:17,547 --> 00:55:19,515
'Course some of them
been sucking on the bottle all night,
717
00:55:19,582 --> 00:55:21,516
but they can still stand up.
718
00:55:21,584 --> 00:55:24,747
- They all knew Charlie?
- Yeah, they all knew him.
719
00:55:25,088 --> 00:55:29,081
If you give McCleary here
any bum information, I'll brain you.
720
00:55:29,793 --> 00:55:31,818
And I might even do worse.
721
00:55:31,961 --> 00:55:35,522
No more free shots
when you're seeing little red spiders.
722
00:55:35,999 --> 00:55:40,095
How many of you boys saw Charlie Barnes
the day he was killed? Raise your hands.
723
00:55:40,170 --> 00:55:44,197
All right, raise your mitts,
them that seen Charlie day before yesterday.
724
00:55:44,274 --> 00:55:45,366
Good.
725
00:55:48,478 --> 00:55:50,446
- Where did you see him?
- See who?
726
00:55:50,513 --> 00:55:54,279
- This guy must be used to talking to mirrors.
- Charlie Barnes.
727
00:55:54,351 --> 00:55:58,253
I seen him come out of a joint
where he flopped in the morning.
728
00:56:00,824 --> 00:56:02,815
You, where'd you see him?
729
00:56:03,460 --> 00:56:05,826
- Humpty O'Dougal's saloon.
- What time?
730
00:56:05,895 --> 00:56:10,389
In the afternoon. Late in the afternoon.
Charlie had a nice little bun on.
731
00:56:10,934 --> 00:56:11,992
Was he with anybody?
732
00:56:12,068 --> 00:56:14,036
With anybody?
Sure, he was with somebody.
733
00:56:14,104 --> 00:56:16,834
Charlie never drank by himself
if he had a little cash on him.
734
00:56:16,906 --> 00:56:19,966
- Well, do you know the guy he was with?
- Certainly I know who he was with.
735
00:56:20,043 --> 00:56:23,206
- Well, who was it?
- Me. He sprung me three slugs.
736
00:56:29,686 --> 00:56:32,678
When did you see him?
When did you see him?
737
00:56:36,159 --> 00:56:38,491
- This morning.
- Throw him out of here.
738
00:56:38,561 --> 00:56:41,086
- Wait a minute!
- What are you talking about?
739
00:56:41,164 --> 00:56:44,691
- Now, is there any more jokers in the crowd?
- I seen him.
740
00:56:45,735 --> 00:56:49,136
Yeah? Well, go on. Where'd you see him?
741
00:56:51,074 --> 00:56:53,770
On the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
742
00:56:53,843 --> 00:56:57,472
- Go on, go on.
- Nothing. He was working a sucker.
743
00:56:58,014 --> 00:57:01,177
- Giving him the pally act, that's all.
- Now think hard.
744
00:57:01,251 --> 00:57:04,243
Do you remember the sucker?
Do you remember what he looks like?
745
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,754
- Maybe.
- What do you mean, "Maybe"?
746
00:57:06,890 --> 00:57:10,826
- Maybe for 50 bucks.
- Why you...
747
00:57:11,995 --> 00:57:15,362
Do you think you could remember
for 1,000 bucks?
748
00:57:17,267 --> 00:57:19,258
Who could tell who he is?
749
00:57:19,469 --> 00:57:22,461
Can you describe
the man you saw Charlie with?
750
00:57:22,906 --> 00:57:26,273
Do I get $1,000 if I do?
751
00:57:26,443 --> 00:57:28,968
You do. If and when we find the guy.
752
00:57:29,379 --> 00:57:32,212
- Sure, I can describe him.
- Well, go ahead.
753
00:57:34,918 --> 00:57:37,819
- You paying the reward?
- No, but my boss is.
754
00:57:38,655 --> 00:57:41,647
- Then I'll describe it to him.
- Okay. Come on.
755
00:57:41,791 --> 00:57:44,385
Rush this over to the composing room.
756
00:57:44,761 --> 00:57:48,492
Kenny, see if you can figure out
a heading for that rubbish.
757
00:57:48,698 --> 00:57:50,723
Connie! Connie, take this.
758
00:57:58,475 --> 00:57:59,806
Wait here.
759
00:58:13,623 --> 00:58:15,318
Look, Lieutenant,
just refer the captain to me.
760
00:58:15,391 --> 00:58:18,189
I'll tell him he's cropping at the best
homicide man he ever had on the force.
761
00:58:18,261 --> 00:58:20,491
If he doesn't know that,
he's deaf, dumb and blind.
762
00:58:20,563 --> 00:58:22,861
Yeah, never mind the malarkey, Chapman!
763
00:58:22,932 --> 00:58:24,900
The next time
you people pull a stunt like this,
764
00:58:24,968 --> 00:58:27,596
I'll throw both you and McCleary in the can!
765
00:58:28,271 --> 00:58:31,832
Okay, Lieutenant, okay.
I give you my word. Goodbye, pal.
766
00:58:33,042 --> 00:58:35,340
Davis is screaming because we gave him
the suitcase only a half hour
767
00:58:35,411 --> 00:58:36,878
before he read it in the <i>Express.</i>
768
00:58:36,946 --> 00:58:39,437
Well, I've got something
that ought to make him happy again.
769
00:58:39,516 --> 00:58:40,744
Not another suitcase?
770
00:58:40,817 --> 00:58:44,776
A guy who can identify the man
Charlie got the pawn ticket from.
771
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:51,384
Hey, Bailey. Come in here.
772
00:59:00,103 --> 00:59:03,561
He wouldn't describe the guy to me.
He needed the boss.
773
00:59:06,643 --> 00:59:08,304
You the boss?
774
00:59:09,379 --> 00:59:13,611
Yeah, and don't waste my time.
Where'd you see this guy with Charlie?
775
00:59:15,818 --> 00:59:18,446
Down the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
776
00:59:19,956 --> 00:59:22,151
You say you can describe him?
777
00:59:41,844 --> 00:59:44,335
Well, go on. What did he look like?
778
00:59:54,057 --> 00:59:55,786
Stand up, will you?
779
01:00:04,467 --> 01:00:07,766
Yeah, just how I figured.
780
01:00:08,805 --> 01:00:10,432
You figured what?
781
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,272
He was your size,
782
01:00:17,313 --> 01:00:18,678
your build.
783
01:00:19,115 --> 01:00:21,345
Could have been as old as you.
784
01:00:21,951 --> 01:00:26,217
- Is that all?
- All you asked me was to describe him.
785
01:00:26,723 --> 01:00:30,625
That was no description!
That could fit a million guys in this town.
786
01:00:30,693 --> 01:00:34,060
- Even me.
- Well, how about the reward?
787
01:00:34,130 --> 01:00:38,123
Here, take this down to the cashier
and pick yourself up five bucks.
788
01:00:38,201 --> 01:00:41,261
- Show him where it is, Steve.
- Come on, Bailey.
789
01:01:30,186 --> 01:01:31,517
Hey, Baxter, where's Julie?
790
01:01:31,587 --> 01:01:34,078
She came in this morning,
banged this out on her typewriter,
791
01:01:34,157 --> 01:01:36,216
and told me to give it to Chapman.
792
01:01:36,292 --> 01:01:38,385
- What is it?
- Her resignation.
793
01:01:38,461 --> 01:01:42,261
I figured I'd hang onto it a day or so.
Maybe she'd cool off.
794
01:01:42,632 --> 01:01:46,261
I'm sure glad you did.
I'll take care of it for you, okay?
795
01:01:49,238 --> 01:01:50,762
Baxter, thanks.
796
01:02:00,883 --> 01:02:03,647
- Hello, Mrs. Allison.
- Well, hello, Steve. Come in.
797
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,051
Thank you.
798
01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:14,458
I have a pot of coffee in the kitchen.
I'd better see to it.
799
01:02:14,664 --> 01:02:16,564
Can I say a few words to you?
800
01:02:16,632 --> 01:02:19,533
Without getting hit with a table
or something?
801
01:02:19,602 --> 01:02:22,230
Speak your piece and get it over with.
802
01:02:22,338 --> 01:02:25,535
I just got rocked
with a bad piece of news, Julie.
803
01:02:25,742 --> 01:02:28,040
I heard about your resignation.
804
01:02:28,444 --> 01:02:31,845
Well, I can't imagine
why you'd shed any tears over it.
805
01:02:31,914 --> 01:02:33,211
Well, for what it's worth,
806
01:02:33,282 --> 01:02:36,308
your resigning knocks the props
out of a lot of things for me.
807
01:02:37,754 --> 01:02:40,655
That couldn't have come
from Steve McCleary.
808
01:02:41,791 --> 01:02:44,851
Okay, pass it. But I didn't figure
your burn at Chapman and me
809
01:02:44,927 --> 01:02:48,454
would be bigger than your wanting
to do something about Charlie's murder.
810
01:02:49,632 --> 01:02:52,829
Don't start playing me
for a hollow-headed female now, Steve.
811
01:02:52,902 --> 01:02:55,871
Your only interest, and Chapman's,
in Charlie's death is exploiting it
812
01:02:55,938 --> 01:02:59,601
- for all the circulation jumping it's worth!
- Julie, I'm not digging on a story now
813
01:02:59,675 --> 01:03:03,577
just for the school-boy bang of seeing
my name over a sensational yarn.
814
01:03:03,646 --> 01:03:06,672
Yeah, that's right, I had to get hit pretty hard
before I smartened up.
815
01:03:06,749 --> 01:03:09,309
But now I'm leveling
on the Charlie Barnes business.
816
01:03:13,422 --> 01:03:18,257
Well, if I can believe what I'm hearing,
this certainly is a different McCleary.
817
01:03:19,328 --> 01:03:20,955
I've been working night and day.
818
01:03:21,030 --> 01:03:24,227
All I've done is run the local leads
to a dead end.
819
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:29,294
There's only one gimmick left to follow.
This picture, the marriage in Connecticut.
820
01:03:29,472 --> 01:03:33,067
It's odd the person who married them
hasn't recognized it.
821
01:03:33,142 --> 01:03:36,077
Unless he's dead or hasn't seen the picture.
822
01:03:36,579 --> 01:03:40,310
Yeah, I thought of that angle, too.
But it's a million-to-one shot.
823
01:03:40,383 --> 01:03:43,716
A guy would have to be an elephant
to remember a face after 21 years.
824
01:03:44,787 --> 01:03:48,314
Tell him about the elephant we met
on Fifth Avenue, about four years ago.
825
01:03:48,391 --> 01:03:50,791
We were walking along the street when,
right out of the blue,
826
01:03:50,860 --> 01:03:53,021
a complete stranger stopped me.
827
01:03:53,095 --> 01:03:56,656
It turned out to be the little preacher
who married Julie's father and me
828
01:03:56,732 --> 01:03:59,724
in Portland, Maine, 23 years before!
829
01:04:01,404 --> 01:04:06,603
- And he actually was able to recognize you?
- And I'd put on a little weight since then.
830
01:04:07,210 --> 01:04:10,270
They say a New Englander
seldom forgets a face.
831
01:04:10,980 --> 01:04:13,813
Crazy odds, but what can we lose?
832
01:04:15,051 --> 01:04:16,416
Yeah, get this picture
833
01:04:16,485 --> 01:04:19,750
to every churchman, judge
and justice of the peace in Connecticut.
834
01:04:19,822 --> 01:04:24,259
- It's certainly worth trying.
- It's a big job. Compiling lists,
835
01:04:24,527 --> 01:04:26,620
- checking out leads.
- It can be done.
836
01:04:26,696 --> 01:04:28,687
The two of us could handle it, Julie.
837
01:04:29,732 --> 01:04:32,667
Well, I'd like to, Steve, but I've resigned.
838
01:04:32,735 --> 01:04:36,637
And I'd sooner drop dead
than ask Mark Chapman for my job back.
839
01:04:43,312 --> 01:04:45,803
- You dog!
- It never got past Baxter.
840
01:04:46,883 --> 01:04:48,908
A list of churches in each town
is no problem.
841
01:04:48,985 --> 01:04:52,318
The judges and JPs we can get
from the state legal directory in Hartford.
842
01:04:52,388 --> 01:04:54,720
Yeah, you start packing.
Enough for a couple of weeks.
843
01:04:54,790 --> 01:04:56,451
I'm going to the office
and get the lab boys started
844
01:04:56,525 --> 01:04:57,787
on knocking out a few hundred circulars.
845
01:04:57,860 --> 01:05:00,260
But suppose Chapman says no
to my working with you on it?
846
01:05:00,329 --> 01:05:03,492
Why should he? Anyway, I'm not going
to tell him anything until we're ready to go.
847
01:05:03,566 --> 01:05:04,658
Tonight sometime.
848
01:05:04,734 --> 01:05:08,898
Mom, you think it's safe for me to travel
out of state at night with this young man?
849
01:05:08,971 --> 01:05:12,702
Just so he doesn't misconstrue
the meaning of "freedom of the press."
850
01:05:12,775 --> 01:05:16,336
Hey, you wonderful woman.
I'll check with you for dinner.
851
01:05:21,417 --> 01:05:23,544
Steve, this is shot-in-the-dark stuff.
852
01:05:23,619 --> 01:05:26,452
Mark, more rabbit-brained ideas than this
have paid off.
853
01:05:26,522 --> 01:05:28,956
Your hottest lead is right here in town
where the murders were committed.
854
01:05:29,025 --> 01:05:32,290
Yeah, our hottest lead was in town,
but it dried up like a puddle in July.
855
01:05:32,361 --> 01:05:33,589
You're looking for a mental marvel,
856
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:36,154
a guy who can recognize somebody
he'd seen for 15 or 20 minutes
857
01:05:36,232 --> 01:05:38,757
at a wedding ceremony
he performed 21 years ago.
858
01:05:38,834 --> 01:05:41,394
How do we know he only saw them
for 15 or 20 minutes?
859
01:05:41,470 --> 01:05:44,200
Maybe they were members of his church
or were married by a judge
860
01:05:44,273 --> 01:05:46,298
or a justice in their own town.
861
01:05:46,375 --> 01:05:48,605
Steve, you're off
on a needle-in-a-haystack hunt.
862
01:05:48,678 --> 01:05:51,078
You can find a needle in a haystack
if you look long enough.
863
01:05:51,147 --> 01:05:53,775
You don't think I'm gonna let you
hang around up there indefinitely, do you?
864
01:05:53,849 --> 01:05:55,680
You won't have to. A week, probably.
865
01:05:55,751 --> 01:05:58,982
Julie Allison's coming along to help me.
It's all arranged.
866
01:05:59,055 --> 01:06:02,456
It's all arranged. And that five grand reward.
You arranged that, too?
867
01:06:02,525 --> 01:06:06,586
No, you did, or will.
Mark, what's eating you?
868
01:06:07,096 --> 01:06:09,257
I'm only checking out every possible angle.
869
01:06:09,332 --> 01:06:11,061
Kid, I don't want you to beat your brains out.
870
01:06:11,133 --> 01:06:13,033
We can get just so much
out of this Lonely Hearts story,
871
01:06:13,102 --> 01:06:16,128
and then we'll start easing it off
and let it die a natural death.
872
01:06:16,205 --> 01:06:19,368
Let it die? Mark, we let Charlie Barnes die!
873
01:06:20,509 --> 01:06:22,909
The least we can do now is to find his killer.
874
01:06:23,679 --> 01:06:26,443
You're the guy who pounded into me,
"Never give up till you've got the story."
875
01:06:26,515 --> 01:06:28,449
Well, I'm not quitting on this one
until I've licked it.
876
01:06:28,517 --> 01:06:30,985
You can reach me
at the Lenox Hotel in Hartford.
877
01:06:56,579 --> 01:06:57,978
Long distance.
878
01:06:58,047 --> 01:06:59,844
I want some information.
879
01:06:59,915 --> 01:07:01,906
A telephone number
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
880
01:07:01,984 --> 01:07:05,181
The name is Hacker. He's a judge.
I don't remember his first name.
881
01:07:05,254 --> 01:07:07,222
You wish to place a call to this party?
882
01:07:07,289 --> 01:07:10,383
No, no. Not yet, that is.
I just want to get his telephone number.
883
01:07:10,459 --> 01:07:12,188
<i>One moment, please.</i>
884
01:07:16,799 --> 01:07:20,235
Hello? The Middlebury operator
has no listing for anyone by that name.
885
01:07:21,037 --> 01:07:22,436
There isn't?
886
01:07:23,305 --> 01:07:25,296
Middlebury's a small town.
Will you ask the operator
887
01:07:25,374 --> 01:07:26,966
if she knows anything
about Judge Hacker at all?
888
01:07:27,043 --> 01:07:29,273
Is he deceased, moved away, or what?
889
01:07:29,345 --> 01:07:31,074
<i>One moment, please.</i>
890
01:07:35,518 --> 01:07:38,510
Hello? The local operator
has been in Middlebury for five years
891
01:07:38,587 --> 01:07:40,646
and knows no one
by the name of Judge Hacker.
892
01:07:40,723 --> 01:07:42,384
That's all the information she can give us.
893
01:07:43,959 --> 01:07:45,153
Thanks.
894
01:08:32,908 --> 01:08:35,308
No, Reverend,
I'm afraid that's not our couple.
895
01:08:36,412 --> 01:08:39,040
You may be positive, Reverend,
but you're mistaken.
896
01:08:39,115 --> 01:08:41,515
The woman in the photo we sent you
is dead.
897
01:08:41,584 --> 01:08:43,916
Thank you for calling, Reverend.
898
01:08:46,288 --> 01:08:48,153
You don't have to tell me.
899
01:08:48,224 --> 01:08:50,852
It's written all over
your bright and shining face.
900
01:08:50,926 --> 01:08:53,759
A 190-mile drive
to have a whack-head tell me
901
01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:56,423
that both the people in our circular
died a year ago.
902
01:08:57,766 --> 01:09:01,896
New Englanders remember, all right.
Every face is familiar to them.
903
01:09:04,406 --> 01:09:07,671
Hello? Just a minute, here's Steve.
904
01:09:08,110 --> 01:09:10,340
It's that man again. Every day.
905
01:09:10,412 --> 01:09:13,313
Does he think we'll keep it a big fat secret
if we find something?
906
01:09:15,284 --> 01:09:16,649
Yeah, Mark.
907
01:09:18,487 --> 01:09:20,819
Nothing but an aching back
and some interesting meetings
908
01:09:20,890 --> 01:09:22,824
with jelly-brained screwballs.
909
01:09:22,892 --> 01:09:26,555
You've had enough time, Steve. Ten days.
Admit it's a dud. Come on home.
910
01:09:26,629 --> 01:09:29,325
Two more days, Mark.
We'll stick it out to the end of the week.
911
01:09:29,899 --> 01:09:33,391
Get out of the haystack. It's easier
to find the needles at the scene of the crime.
912
01:09:33,469 --> 01:09:34,936
I'll see you.
913
01:09:35,771 --> 01:09:39,832
Two more days. I don't even know myself
why we're sticking around.
914
01:09:41,043 --> 01:09:42,772
Anything there that sounds good?
915
01:09:44,180 --> 01:09:47,946
I'll read you a fair sample.
From a J.P. Waterbury.
916
01:09:49,084 --> 01:09:52,451
"Send me $5,000
and I will tell you names of people."
917
01:09:52,655 --> 01:09:54,646
A new head I'll send him.
918
01:09:55,658 --> 01:09:58,320
I've got a headache.
I think I'll lie down for a while.
919
01:09:59,728 --> 01:10:01,855
Why don't you lie down here?
920
01:10:07,269 --> 01:10:08,998
I'll go to my room.
921
01:10:15,344 --> 01:10:17,744
McCleary. Okay, put him on.
922
01:10:18,681 --> 01:10:20,808
A guy calling from Franklin.
923
01:10:21,283 --> 01:10:23,308
Hello? Yeah, that's right.
924
01:10:25,955 --> 01:10:27,149
You do, huh?
925
01:10:29,258 --> 01:10:31,590
- You've got what?
- What is it?
926
01:10:31,827 --> 01:10:35,456
- Just a minute.
- I have the other picture right before me!
927
01:10:35,864 --> 01:10:41,131
Yes, I married them July 19th, 1931,
over in Middlebury.
928
01:10:42,438 --> 01:10:44,702
A funny thing. What's that?
929
01:10:48,143 --> 01:10:49,872
Judge Elroy Hacker.
930
01:10:50,379 --> 01:10:52,404
We'll be there in two hours, Judge.
931
01:10:52,481 --> 01:10:54,244
Sit tight
and keep your mouth shut about this.
932
01:10:54,316 --> 01:10:55,374
Bye.
933
01:10:55,584 --> 01:10:59,247
Go on, get packed.
He's liable to drop dead on us or something.
934
01:11:55,110 --> 01:11:58,102
For a man who can sit there
and watch his success increasing daily,
935
01:11:58,180 --> 01:12:00,011
you're looking much too troubled, Mark.
936
01:12:00,082 --> 01:12:03,210
It's just that these minor problems
always seem to require major thinking.
937
01:12:03,285 --> 01:12:06,379
Well, perhaps we can balance
the unpleasant with the pleasant.
938
01:12:06,455 --> 01:12:09,390
That conversation we had the other day
about your buying company stock.
939
01:12:09,458 --> 01:12:10,823
- Yeah?
- I just thought I'd tell you,
940
01:12:10,893 --> 01:12:14,920
- I think we can swing that.
- That's fine, Mr. Madison, just great.
941
01:12:14,997 --> 01:12:17,659
Well, there doesn't seem to be any doubt
you'll reach that bonus figure.
942
01:12:17,733 --> 01:12:19,064
It'll be pleasant having you as a partner,
943
01:12:19,134 --> 01:12:20,863
- so to speak, in the paper, Mark.
- Thanks.
944
01:12:20,936 --> 01:12:22,801
- Good night.
- Good night.
945
01:14:17,953 --> 01:14:19,147
Sorry to keep you this late, Mark,
946
01:14:19,221 --> 01:14:21,621
but we got hit with a mess of traffic
on the way in.
947
01:14:21,690 --> 01:14:23,157
Your wire sounded important.
948
01:14:23,225 --> 01:14:26,456
I found that needle,
or rather the man with the needle.
949
01:14:26,528 --> 01:14:29,725
Judge Elroy Hacker,
Mark Chapman, Managing Editor.
950
01:14:29,865 --> 01:14:32,925
- Glad to meet you, Judge.
- How do, Mr. Chapman?
951
01:14:33,902 --> 01:14:35,893
- Sit down, Judge.
- Thanks.
952
01:14:36,772 --> 01:14:38,672
Does the judge's needle sew anything up?
953
01:14:38,740 --> 01:14:41,231
Everything but knotting the thread
at the end.
954
01:14:41,310 --> 01:14:42,937
I mean the noose.
955
01:14:44,046 --> 01:14:45,240
What have you got?
956
01:14:45,314 --> 01:14:48,511
The identity of Mrs. Lonely Heart
and her husband.
957
01:14:49,117 --> 01:14:51,711
Judge Hacker married them
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
958
01:14:51,787 --> 01:14:54,688
Their names are Charlotte and George Grant.
959
01:14:58,827 --> 01:14:59,953
Did you get that, Mark?
960
01:15:00,028 --> 01:15:03,327
The name of the Lonely Heart Killer
is George Grant.
961
01:15:03,699 --> 01:15:05,530
Yeah, I heard you. Go on.
962
01:15:05,601 --> 01:15:08,229
Strike two. The judge is sure
he can identify George Grant
963
01:15:08,303 --> 01:15:10,203
when he sees him again.
964
01:15:10,806 --> 01:15:13,969
You see, I took this picture myself.
965
01:15:14,710 --> 01:15:17,338
A little extra service
the judge gave his bridal couples.
966
01:15:17,412 --> 01:15:20,711
Yes. I'd send them a print
and put one in my own scrapbook.
967
01:15:20,782 --> 01:15:22,579
The judge even furnished
the "just married" sign.
968
01:15:22,651 --> 01:15:24,118
Judge, you said
you married them in Middlebury,
969
01:15:24,186 --> 01:15:27,883
- but Steve found you in Franklin.
- I retired seven years ago.
970
01:15:27,956 --> 01:15:31,323
I'm partial to fishing,
so I moved over on the coast.
971
01:15:32,027 --> 01:15:34,928
I only happened
to see your circular by chance,
972
01:15:34,997 --> 01:15:37,830
in the office of a justice friend of mine.
973
01:15:40,602 --> 01:15:43,571
I always said you were born
in a field of shamrocks.
974
01:15:43,639 --> 01:15:47,769
Sure. The McClearys raised their kids
on nothing but rabbits' feet.
975
01:15:48,410 --> 01:15:52,471
Judge, what makes you so sure
you can identify George Grant today?
976
01:15:54,383 --> 01:15:57,250
Well, mainly because right after
I took that wedding picture,
977
01:15:57,319 --> 01:16:00,482
this Grant got vexed at his wife
about something.
978
01:16:01,590 --> 01:16:05,651
I can remember his voice, snapping at her.
His face getting red...
979
01:16:07,696 --> 01:16:11,598
I know what's in your bonnet, Mark.
We still have to find George Grant.
980
01:16:11,667 --> 01:16:14,363
A needle's nothing but a hunk of steel
if you've got nothing to sew.
981
01:16:14,436 --> 01:16:15,801
We just need the thread.
982
01:16:15,871 --> 01:16:18,203
I figure we'll pick that up
right here in New York.
983
01:16:18,273 --> 01:16:21,367
When the police line up all the local
George Grants for the judge to look over.
984
01:16:23,745 --> 01:16:27,416
That's Julie. I dropped her off
at headquarters to tell Davis what we've got.
985
01:16:29,251 --> 01:16:32,618
Friend Davis is steaming
like a pressure cooker, as I said he would.
986
01:16:32,688 --> 01:16:33,746
He'll simmer down.
987
01:16:33,822 --> 01:16:36,484
So will your
lining up the George Grants idea.
988
01:16:36,558 --> 01:16:40,255
Davis says he'll do nothing until you turn
Judge Hacker over to the police.
989
01:16:40,329 --> 01:16:42,763
- Steve, you can't hold...
- Relax, doll. He'll see the judge later.
990
01:16:42,831 --> 01:16:44,924
Not tonight he won't.
The judge is our exclusive beat.
991
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,230
Nobody gets to him
till our story breaks tomorrow.
992
01:16:47,302 --> 01:16:49,031
I don't trust cops.
993
01:16:51,607 --> 01:16:52,904
You and Julie start writing the story.
994
01:16:52,975 --> 01:16:56,308
I'll put the judge in a side-street hotel
where nobody will get to him.
995
01:16:56,378 --> 01:16:57,902
Come on, Judge.
996
01:17:01,316 --> 01:17:03,648
I'll just wait for Mr. McCleary.
997
01:17:04,987 --> 01:17:06,921
He was going to put me up at his place.
998
01:17:06,989 --> 01:17:08,581
That's the first place
the wolves will start baying.
999
01:17:08,657 --> 01:17:10,921
You better come with me, Judge.
1000
01:17:10,993 --> 01:17:15,157
No, I don't think it would be wise
for me to go with you, Mr. Grant.
1001
01:17:15,731 --> 01:17:18,325
- Mister...
- Chapman, Judge. Not Grant.
1002
01:17:18,734 --> 01:17:21,294
You'd better give your brain a rest.
You're gonna need it.
1003
01:17:21,370 --> 01:17:22,735
He may be Chapman now,
1004
01:17:22,804 --> 01:17:27,104
but 21 years ago, when I married them,
he was George Grant.
1005
01:17:27,509 --> 01:17:29,534
And he was a newspaperman.
1006
01:17:30,379 --> 01:17:34,145
I remember now. He said he worked
on the paper over in Waterford.
1007
01:17:34,216 --> 01:17:37,549
Waterford, Connecticut, was that town
I couldn't think of.
1008
01:17:37,619 --> 01:17:40,110
But I knew I'd remember that voice.
1009
01:17:40,422 --> 01:17:44,586
His face... You've changed.
But it's the same man.
1010
01:17:45,060 --> 01:17:48,086
You remember that $5,000 reward, though,
don't you, Judge?
1011
01:17:48,163 --> 01:17:51,428
Judge. This is impossible.
You're getting confused.
1012
01:17:51,633 --> 01:17:54,864
He sounds to me as though
he knows exactly what he's saying.
1013
01:17:54,936 --> 01:17:57,837
This is idiotic!
Screwball, crackbrained lunacy!
1014
01:17:57,906 --> 01:18:01,364
And that's just the kind of a witness
the judge is going to make, too, Steve.
1015
01:18:01,443 --> 01:18:03,240
The police have that specimen
of hair and flesh
1016
01:18:03,311 --> 01:18:05,905
found under Mrs. Grant's fingernails.
1017
01:18:06,348 --> 01:18:09,283
I think we'd better get in touch with Davis.
1018
01:18:09,551 --> 01:18:11,212
No phone, Allison.
1019
01:18:21,797 --> 01:18:26,359
Julie pegged you right off.
But me, still wet behind the ears McCleary.
1020
01:18:27,235 --> 01:18:29,328
I went for the sleigh ride.
1021
01:18:29,971 --> 01:18:35,409
I practically built the pedestal for Chapman.
The great newspaperman. The great guy.
1022
01:18:36,778 --> 01:18:41,545
There ought to be a special Pulitzer Prize
for the world's biggest sucker, McCleary.
1023
01:18:41,616 --> 01:18:44,141
Just another one of your stupid slobs!
1024
01:18:44,219 --> 01:18:45,948
Things happen, Steve,
and then there's just no end.
1025
01:18:46,021 --> 01:18:47,921
Killing my wife was an accident.
1026
01:18:47,989 --> 01:18:51,823
And Charlie. Charlie Barnes,
who never hurt a fly in his life.
1027
01:18:52,294 --> 01:18:54,057
A washed-up drunken rummy
who had nothing to live for
1028
01:18:54,129 --> 01:18:55,790
against a career
that was just reaching its prime.
1029
01:18:55,864 --> 01:18:59,322
- It wasn't an even exchange.
- You've got a great career ahead of you now.
1030
01:18:59,401 --> 01:19:02,302
That's all down the drain.
I gotta to make different plans now.
1031
01:19:02,370 --> 01:19:04,736
You should have started running
when you got my wire, sucker!
1032
01:19:04,806 --> 01:19:06,501
I gambled.
The stakes are big enough, you don't run
1033
01:19:06,575 --> 01:19:10,443
unless there's nothing else left to do.
Don't try it, kid.
1034
01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:30,190
Steve!
1035
01:19:50,986 --> 01:19:53,011
We're just too close, kid.
1036
01:19:57,292 --> 01:20:02,059
I figured I'd find you birds here.
Still playing me for a pushover, aren't you?
1037
01:20:04,032 --> 01:20:06,227
Steve, you remember how I told you
1038
01:20:06,301 --> 01:20:09,464
that someday you'd run into
a really great story?
1039
01:20:09,905 --> 01:20:11,736
Well, this one ought to do it, huh?
1040
01:20:12,474 --> 01:20:14,374
Yeah, this one will do.
1041
01:20:14,976 --> 01:20:16,603
I'll give you the lead on it.
1042
01:20:17,846 --> 01:20:18,972
"The elusive Lonely Heart Killer,
1043
01:20:19,047 --> 01:20:20,708
"object of a nationwide search

1044
01:20:20,782 --> 01:20:23,774

of the <i>New York Express.</i>
1045
01:20:25,387 --> 01:20:27,321
"He was apprehended
due to the persistence of a reporter
1046
01:20:27,389 --> 01:20:30,449
"who learned his trade
from the killer himself.
1047
01:20:31,259 --> 01:20:32,920
"The murderer was revealed

01:20:32,994 --> 01:20:35,827
"Managing Editor of the <i>New York Express."</i>
1049
01:20:37,766 --> 01:20:42,601
- Write it up big, kid. It'll sell a lot of papers.
- All right, drop it, Chapman.

Mark Chapman, editor of the New York Express, has made the newspaper a success by pursuing sensationalism and yellow journalism. His protégé is ace reporter Steve McCleary, while successful feature writer Julie Allison is frustrated by the paper's drift towards raking the muck. One night, during a lonely hearts dance organized by the Express, Chapman's estranged wife confronts him and demands that he visit her hotel room. It is revealed that Chapman's real name is George Grant, and he abandoned his wife decades earlier, changing his identity. When Chapman rebuffs her efforts toward reconciliation, she threatens to publicize his real identity. Chapman tries to restrain her, accidentally killing her in the scuffle.
Chapman attempts to cover up his crime, posing the scene to look like an accident. The police initially believe she slipped in the bathtub, but McCleary begins covering the case, and his reporting reveals it was a murder. McCleary is eager to run the story, and Chapman must acquiesce to avoid suspicion. The "mystery" murderer is dubbed the "Lonely Hearts Killer." Charlie Barnes, an alcoholic former star reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner, stumbles upon the dead woman's suitcase, in which he finds wedding photographs showing Chapman (then Grant) and his wife. He realizes that Chapman must be the killer. Barnes contacts Allison, who has been kind to him, attempting to give her the scoop, but Chapman overhears the conversation. He intercepts and kills Barnes before he can reveal the truth to a rival publication. This act only increases public interest in the story of the Lonely Hearts Killer, much to Chapman's frustration.
Assisted by Allison, McCleary continues to track down clues and leads. Eventually he locates another photo from Chapman/Grant's wedding, although the groom is shot in profile and it is not obvious that it is Chapman. McCleary and Allison travel to Connecticut to find the judge who married the murdered woman and the man in the photograph. After a week of searching, they identify the judge who conducted the marriage. They bring him back to the newspaper building, where he identifies Chapman as the groom and thus the Lonely Hearts Killer. McCleary is incredulous, but Allison puts the pieces together and the desperate Chapman pulls a gun on them. The police arrive, and Chapman cannot bring himself to shoot McCleary. Instead, he gives McCleary his blessing to publish all details of his crimes and then commits suicide by cop.

1
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,468
I know how you feel, lady.
2
00:01:52,545 --> 00:01:54,445
Just take your time
and tell me what happened.
3
00:01:54,514 --> 00:01:57,915
He had this meat ax, her blood all over it.
4
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:03,187
My brother-in-law had it.
Blood all over his hands, all over his shirt.
5
00:02:03,389 --> 00:02:05,687
I can't talk about it, Officer.
6
00:02:05,859 --> 00:02:08,851
I know it's rough, lady,
but I have to have the facts.
7
00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:14,298
He comes staggering out in the hall.
He says, "I did it. Call the cops."
8
00:02:15,101 --> 00:02:16,125
And then he...
9
00:02:16,202 --> 00:02:19,467
Snap it up, Captain.
Lieutenant Davis just blew in.
10
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,303
What's he going to do, Officer?
11
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:25,003
- I'm not a cop, lady.
- But you said...
12
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:27,610
All I said was,
"I had to ask you some questions."
13
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,079
I'm from the <i>Express.</i>
14
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:33,984
You made me go through all that.
Why, you're not decent! You're not human!
15
00:02:34,754 --> 00:02:38,121
- Sorry, lady. All part of the job.
- Well, well, Lieutenant Davis.
16
00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:42,252
- Say, this must have been a homicide.
- Hi, Lieutenant. Wait till you hear it.
17
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:45,092
- A messy one.
- You keep pulling stuff like this, McCleary,
18
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:50,193
and so help me, if it's the last thing I do,
I'll run you in! Now, that's a warning!
19
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:18,591
This is KL-75263. Get me Plaza-52099.
20
00:03:19,532 --> 00:03:24,401
You know, that wasn't a bad-Iooking dame.
Too bad the guy used an ax on her head.
21
00:03:25,271 --> 00:03:27,796
Spoiled some pretty pictures for me.
22
00:03:28,908 --> 00:03:31,877
Hey, Mark, have you put on the gloves
with those stockholders yet?
23
00:03:32,178 --> 00:03:34,203
Hi. No, I'm just taping up my hands.
24
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,976
<i>Well, you can tell them we got</i>
<i>another neat and gory one coming up.</i>
25
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:39,177
<i>Hatchet murder. Lower East Side tenement.</i>
26
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:41,652
<i>Wrapped up an exclusive interview</i>
<i>with an eyewitness.</i>
27
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:43,211
You got plenty of art?
28
00:03:43,289 --> 00:03:45,052
Yeah. Biddle grabbed all he could
of the body.
29
00:03:45,124 --> 00:03:49,185
A dame, very messy.
Got a great hysterical close-up of her sister.
30
00:03:49,529 --> 00:03:52,828
I'll even write the caption for you.
"I seen him with a bloody meat ax."
31
00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:54,592
Good. With that, I can sell papers.
32
00:03:54,667 --> 00:03:57,295
Give it to rewrite and we'll get it in the final.
Hold on. What do you want?
33
00:03:57,370 --> 00:04:00,237
Mr. Madison called down
from the boardroom again, Mr. Chapman.
34
00:04:00,306 --> 00:04:02,831
You hear that?
I'm letting them stew in their financial juices.
35
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:05,067
Well, don't overdo it. I like this job.
36
00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:08,273
You've never gone backwards
with me before, have you, kid?
37
00:04:08,348 --> 00:04:13,217
If we leave here, we'll bounce into
a bigger setup. I'll see you when you get in.
38
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:21,417
As one of the largest stockholders
in this corporation,
39
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:24,463
I would like to know
why the <i>New York Express,</i>
40
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:27,465
once a distinguished
and respected newspaper,
41
00:04:29,869 --> 00:04:33,600
has been allowed to become
a cheap and depraved publication.
42
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:38,835
Why has an editor been allowed
to turn a decent journal into this?
43
00:04:39,679 --> 00:04:41,613
A disgusting tabloid!
44
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,749
Pandering to the passions
of the base morons!
45
00:04:45,151 --> 00:04:47,847
I demand an explanation, Frank Madison.
46
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:54,750
Well, Mrs. Rawley, I...
In defense of Mark Chapman, I...
47
00:04:54,827 --> 00:04:58,263
Mr. Madison, I'd like to handle
my own defense, if you don't mind.
48
00:04:58,331 --> 00:04:59,855
Just as you say, Mark.
49
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:05,428
Mrs. Rawley, I think you
and the other stockholders should know
50
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:07,496
that your publisher hired me
as executive editor
51
00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:09,837
with full rights to transform this newspaper.
52
00:05:10,677 --> 00:05:14,443
He did this for a very simple reason.
He was fed up with operating at a loss.
53
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:18,611
Why did Mr. Madison hire me?
Well, he felt it was time that the <i>Express</i>
54
00:05:18,685 --> 00:05:21,745
buried its antiquated negative approach,
such as this.
55
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:25,756
But who won?
56
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:29,920
And become a positive newspaper.
We're in a business, ladies and gentlemen,
57
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:34,695
a business of satisfying the hunger
of the public for thrills, escape and news.
58
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:39,271
Here's where I took over
your highly respectable white elephant.
59
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:42,172
Instead of headlining a UN story,
we gave them a vice story.
60
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:44,368
Obviously, they went for it.
61
00:05:44,544 --> 00:05:46,239
We played down
the presidential appointments
62
00:05:46,312 --> 00:05:48,644
and concentrated
on the "Gorilla Man" killings.
63
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:51,576
Here's what happened.
Thirty or forty thousand new readers.
64
00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:54,245
Why, in a year, circulation's up over 110%.
65
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,686
And when we reach 750,000,
66
00:05:56,756 --> 00:06:00,886
we'll have to pay you a big bonus.
I'm not sure I like this at all.
67
00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:02,761
Did you like the dividend check
you got last month
68
00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:04,194
for the first time in 12 years?
69
00:06:04,263 --> 00:06:07,323
I don't like this, sir.
What kind of journalism is this?
70
00:06:07,967 --> 00:06:10,026
A newspaper
staging a cheap, vulgar display
71
00:06:10,103 --> 00:06:13,266
in order to attract
the stupid slobs of the city!
72
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,865
The thousands who will attend
the Lonely Heart dance tonight,
73
00:06:15,942 --> 00:06:18,467
these poor, friendly, unhappy people
whom you call stupid slobs,
74
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:20,569
buy and read this newspaper.
75
00:06:20,646 --> 00:06:22,944
Their loyalty helped put that dividend check
in your pocket.
76
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:26,712
And I suppose you think it's a public service
when one of your reporters is arrested
77
00:06:26,786 --> 00:06:30,745
for withholding information from the police?
Or whatever it was.
78
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:34,150
This, what's his name, McCleary person,
79
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,352
and the things he writes about!
I think he should be fired!
80
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:39,295
This McCleary person
is the best young reporter I've seen
81
00:06:39,365 --> 00:06:41,060
in 25 years of newspapering.
82
00:06:41,134 --> 00:06:43,193
Before I'll fire him,
I'll throw the <i>Express</i> up for grabs
83
00:06:43,269 --> 00:06:45,669
and go to work for somebody
who appreciates real talent on a paper!
84
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:47,262
- Mark, I'm sure...
- One last thing.
85
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:50,798
The only contract I have here is a handshake
between Mr. Madison and myself.
86
00:06:50,877 --> 00:06:53,141
Now, unless you give me full rights
to run this paper the way I want,
87
00:06:53,212 --> 00:06:55,271
I'll quit after the final edition today.
88
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:58,784
Now, I'm sorry I can't stay with you
any longer. I have a newspaper to get out!
89
00:07:06,092 --> 00:07:10,426
- Your story ready, Miss Allison?
- I'll have the rest in a minute, Joey.
90
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:13,831
Mr. Chapman?
91
00:07:16,502 --> 00:07:17,696
Thanks.
92
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:26,937
McCleary story in yet, Bax?
93
00:07:32,485 --> 00:07:34,885
How'd you make out in the torture chamber?
94
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:40,450
This is good. Give it a big play.
Mac'll do a byline follow-up tomorrow.
95
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:43,825
- What are these?
- Pics for that Lonely Heart spread.
96
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:45,820
- Junk them.
- But I...
97
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:47,092
Take Peters off the Lonely Hearts.
98
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:48,997
He's photographing these slobs
like a lineup in a soup kitchen
99
00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:50,660
instead of panting for a red-hot romance.
100
00:07:50,736 --> 00:07:52,533
- Okay. But I...
- Yeah?
101
00:07:52,939 --> 00:07:54,566
Yes, Mr. Madison.
102
00:07:58,211 --> 00:08:00,611
- Get an ax, smear it with blood.
- Yeah? Whose?
103
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,171
Yours. If you can't spare any,
use chocolate syrup or something.
104
00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:07,652
Chocolate? Goody! When I'm through,
I can make a plate of fudge. Drop in.
105
00:08:08,721 --> 00:08:12,157
So, you still insist a woman having 20 kids
is worth a feature article?
106
00:08:12,225 --> 00:08:15,422
Hi, genius.
I think it's worth a whole front page.
107
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:18,391
It scares me, this maternal instinct of yours.
108
00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:20,955
Decided where you're taking me
to dinner tonight?
109
00:08:23,736 --> 00:08:25,966
If Chapman hasn't been canned,
110
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,169
you're going to dine with the worst loser
who ever paid off a bet.
111
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:31,608
Then you'd better stash some
bicarbonate soda in your bag, princess.
112
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:32,837
You're gonna need it.
113
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:35,437
Don't count your steaks
before you hear the sizzle.
114
00:08:37,617 --> 00:08:39,608
Well, what's the word? Are you ex or still?
115
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,880
They're not dumb enough
to throw out a winner.
116
00:08:41,954 --> 00:08:44,650
Congratulations. I knew you'd stick
their stocks right back in their teeth.
117
00:08:44,724 --> 00:08:46,555
I told them if they fired me,
McCleary would quit, too,
118
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:49,060
and then they'd be in real trouble.
119
00:08:49,128 --> 00:08:50,527
I wouldn't put it past them
to try and dump you
120
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:53,929
to get out of paying the bonus that's
staring them right in their glassy eyes.
121
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,331
I've got news for you.
122
00:08:55,401 --> 00:08:57,528
I'm going to cut you in
for a piece of that bonus.
123
00:08:57,603 --> 00:08:59,298
What do you want me to do, retire?
124
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:00,566
I thought we could make a deal with Madison
125
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,698
to buy some of the company's stock.
126
00:09:01,774 --> 00:09:03,901
You know, kid,
we could end up owning this newspaper.
127
00:09:03,976 --> 00:09:06,536
- Well, that's the best offer I've had all week.
- I'll make you another one.
128
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:09,080
I'll take you to dinner tonight.
You pick the spot.
129
00:09:10,349 --> 00:09:14,012
I'll make you a better offer.
My date's buying. She lost a bet.
130
00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:17,544
The Grand Duchess from Vassar again?
The way I feel, I can put up with anything.
131
00:09:17,623 --> 00:09:19,818
- I'm more worried, can she put up with you?
- Get her ready.
132
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:24,124
We've got to be at the ballroom at 8:00.
There's no time for nose powder.
133
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:32,597
Don't break your ears with that grin.
I can see. He's still in.
134
00:09:33,005 --> 00:09:36,532
- No loud whoops of joy, baby?
- Well, I tried everything.
135
00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:39,770
I crossed my fingers,
said prayers, burned candles.
136
00:09:39,845 --> 00:09:43,713
- Who's your tailor, princess?
- Let's get out of here.
137
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,075
I've had to look at that Chapman face all day.
138
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:50,714
I've got to cover his fiasco tonight
and suffer some more.
139
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:53,987
At least just looking at you for an hour
will be a welcome change.
140
00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:57,496
- Lf you're taking me to dinner, let's go.
- Taking him?
141
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,195
Wait a minute.
Our bet was between you and me.
142
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:03,463
Our bet was loser buys dinner.
We didn't say for how many.
143
00:10:03,536 --> 00:10:06,994
- Why, you double-crossing...
- I knew you'd be a good loser.
144
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:10,807
Someday remind me to tell you about girls.
145
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:20,248
You talk a couple of these suckers
into getting married.
146
00:10:20,319 --> 00:10:21,581
These Lonely Heart slobs got the gimmies,
147
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:23,519
and we've got plenty to give them
from the advertisers.
148
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:25,284
If you talk one couple
into getting married by 9:00,
149
00:10:25,358 --> 00:10:27,883
by 12:00 we'll have a dozen lined up
for wedded bliss.
150
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,155
- McCleary, the Brooklyn cupid.
- McCleary, the human yes man.
151
00:10:30,229 --> 00:10:31,594
Hey, Julie!
152
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:34,155
- Hello, Charlie.
- Charlie.
153
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:38,225
- How are you, Barnes?
- Fine, Mark. You're looking fit. McCleary.
154
00:10:38,571 --> 00:10:39,595
Thank you.
155
00:10:39,672 --> 00:10:41,799
What goes on? Are you ghosting
Allison's features, Charlie?
156
00:10:41,874 --> 00:10:43,774
No, he's helping me with research
for that series
157
00:10:43,843 --> 00:10:45,640
on historical monuments in New York.
158
00:10:45,711 --> 00:10:47,872
You couldn't pick a better man.
I ought to know.
159
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:50,006
Remember those old days, Mark?
160
00:10:50,082 --> 00:10:53,813
Like the time I cut the phone cables
at the Lindbergh trial?
161
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:55,520
You scooped me. Almost cost me my job.
162
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:59,957
Scooped you, the wire services,
scooped everybody. That was the year...
163
00:11:00,026 --> 00:11:02,358
That was the year you won the Pulitzer Prize.
164
00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:06,826
Listen, Mark.
This stuff I've been doing for Julie, it's...
165
00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:13,200
- Mark, I think I'm ready to go back to work.
- That's fine. I'm glad to hear it, Charlie.
166
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,164
How about it, Mark? How about a job?
167
00:11:19,645 --> 00:11:21,510
- Why not?
- Thanks.
168
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:25,447
- Charlie, I'm so proud of you!
- This is gonna take a little juggling.
169
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:26,849
I won't be able to do anything right away.
170
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:28,978
Look, Charlie, I'll call you.
We're late, we gotta rush.
171
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:31,785
Sure, Mark, I know how it is,
always on the go.
172
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:35,258
- Coffee in the morning? Skinners?
- Sure thing, Julie.
173
00:11:40,199 --> 00:11:41,257
All the time I thought you were a...
174
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:43,699
- How much did you give him?
- $10. He earned it.
175
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:44,929
Ten bucks?
176
00:11:45,004 --> 00:11:47,336
- Buy a lot of whiskey.
- Did you see that rum-dumb?
177
00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:49,806
- Come midnight, he'll be in the gutter.
- Now, wait a minute.
178
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:51,274
He's an alky, Julie.
You shouldn't give an alky
179
00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:52,367
more than a buck at a time.
180
00:11:52,445 --> 00:11:55,414
You're liable to kill him.
Ten bucks, he can take a bath in it.
181
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:58,314
But... Well, this job
will change everything for him.
182
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:01,319
Job? I wouldn't have him in my office,
let alone on my staff.
183
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:04,117
In you go, sucker. Where are you going?
184
00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:07,085
I'm not going to let him go off believing this.
185
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:10,617
- Do you want to break his heart?
- Do I? What do you think you're doing?
186
00:12:10,696 --> 00:12:13,358
I'm giving him hopes and dreams.
A rummy like that lives on dreams.
187
00:12:13,432 --> 00:12:17,061
- He's happy. Why spoil it?
- Happy? Happy like your Lonely Hearts,
188
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,798
looking forward to those big romances
they've been promised?
189
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:23,069
- Only Charlie's romance is with a bottle.
- Get in.
190
00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:48,057
Biddle, don't leave that camera at half mast.
Stop goldbricking on the other guys.
191
00:12:48,134 --> 00:12:52,127
I must have got 100 shots already,
Mr. Chapman. My arm's giving out.
192
00:12:52,204 --> 00:12:56,334
You've only started. I want shots of people
from every state. Now start shooting.
193
00:12:58,911 --> 00:13:01,038
How are you doing, princess?
194
00:13:01,147 --> 00:13:04,116
Well, it's an effort,
but I'm trying to keep from screaming.
195
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:06,981
You were a real bundle of laughs
during dinner, too.
196
00:13:07,052 --> 00:13:08,781
Why don't you simmer down now?
197
00:13:08,854 --> 00:13:10,515
You're not so pretty
when your feathers are all ruffled.
198
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:13,183
Don't, Steve. I'm in no mood for levity.
199
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:17,491
- Do you feel like dancing?
- Do you figure that'll smooth my feathers?
200
00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:21,691
I've got a great idea for you. Grab yourself
one of these Lonely Heart boys.
201
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:25,066
Tell him you're a club date. Con him.
Get his life history.
202
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:28,903
- And there's your feature for tomorrow.
- Mark Chapman, Junior.
203
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:31,568
It'll sell papers, you left that out.
204
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:34,871
Happy hunting, cupid.
Mustn't let the boss down.
205
00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:38,312
Save at least one dance for me, princess.
206
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:58,034
Every time I aim my lens
at one of these walking zombies,
207
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:01,334
I think of the time
I covered the Miss America contest.
208
00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:03,705
The tears almost start to flow.
209
00:14:06,378 --> 00:14:09,370
From McCleary, you get nothing but service.
Ten minutes before 9:00,
210
00:14:09,448 --> 00:14:13,179
and couple number one. Mary and Joe
met in front of the Arkansas booth.
211
00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:16,221
It was love at first sight, almost. Right?
212
00:14:16,288 --> 00:14:20,349
Well, sure. I'm from Texas,
but I sure love that Arkansas cooking.
213
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,890
- You love her, don't you?
- Well, sure, I reckon so.
214
00:14:23,963 --> 00:14:26,158
- Mary, you love him?
- Yes.
215
00:14:26,966 --> 00:14:31,130
- See, they're crazy about each other.
- Yeah, that's fine. Hey, Edwards.
216
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:33,535
We've got a romance going here.
They're ready for the orange blossoms.
217
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,837
- Well, how do you do? And congratulations.
- Save the teeth for the bandstand.
218
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:38,171
Get up there
and make the big announcement.
219
00:14:38,244 --> 00:14:42,044
Yes, sir, Mr. Chapman.
Come with me, you lucky, lucky people.
220
00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:46,842
Hey, you ain't gonna forget about the bed
with the built-in television set?
221
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:48,614
You'll spend your honeymoon in front of it.
222
00:14:51,624 --> 00:14:55,321
- Nice going, Steve, keep punching.
- I'll get the camera boys up to cover it.
223
00:14:57,129 --> 00:15:01,862
- Did you find a feature to write about yet?
- I haven't, and I don't intend to.
224
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:05,435
This bribing of poor, ignorant dopes
into a public wedding
225
00:15:05,504 --> 00:15:07,665
is cheap, cruel and disgusting.
226
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:10,573
This whole Wild West show is ridiculous,
and I want no part of it.
227
00:15:10,643 --> 00:15:13,305
Miss Allison,
your contract has six months to run.
228
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:17,281
My contract was made with Mr. Madison
before you took over the <i>Express.</i>
229
00:15:17,349 --> 00:15:18,543
If you don't like the way I run the paper,
230
00:15:18,617 --> 00:15:21,245
I have an agreement
that might be satisfactory to both of us.
231
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,811
Take six months' vacation with pay!
232
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:30,286
No, thank you, Mr. Chapman. I'll work it out.
I like my feature writing.
233
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,898
Thinking people like it, too,
234
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:37,561
even though there aren't many of them
buying the <i>Express</i> anymore. Good night!
235
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:43,605
That's it.
236
00:15:50,382 --> 00:15:53,613
<i>Friends, brothers and sisters</i>
<i>in the Lonely Hearts Club.</i>
237
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:55,677
<i>I have wonderful news for you,</i>
238
00:15:55,754 --> 00:15:59,747
<i>living proof that this magnificent club</i>
<i>is more than just a name.</i>
239
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:04,386
<i>But first, how would you like to meet</i>
<i>the great man who created your club?</i>
240
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:11,998
<i>Mr. Mark Chapman,</i>
<i>editor of the</i> New York Express.
241
00:16:12,071 --> 00:16:14,665
<i>Put the spotlight on him, over there!</i>
242
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,782
<i>Now here's the wonderful news.</i>
243
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:37,056
<i>Meet Mary and Joe, two happy people</i>
<i>who came here tonight as total strangers.</i>
244
00:16:37,463 --> 00:16:42,400
<i>They met, they danced, they found love.</i>
<i>They're going to get married!</i>
245
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,474
George?
246
00:16:57,516 --> 00:17:00,041
<i>- As the first couple who fell in love tonight...</i>
- George Grant!
247
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:01,814
<i>...Mary and Joe will receive...</i>
- It is you!
248
00:17:01,887 --> 00:17:03,752
<i>...compliments of the</i> Express...
- Charlotte.
249
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:05,119
<i>... a wedding night in a New York hotel...</i>
250
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:08,921
Finding you here...
I was so sure that you must be dead.
251
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:11,759
George Grant is dead.
252
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:14,259
Yes, I just heard.
253
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,134
- You're the...
- We can't talk here.
254
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:19,901
We can talk at my place, George.
255
00:17:20,806 --> 00:17:23,036
We've got a lot to talk about.
256
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:26,509
Go on out. I'll meet you at the side entrance.
257
00:17:32,785 --> 00:17:35,151
The years have been kinder to you.
258
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:38,621
What is it, 19, 20?
I used to keep track, but I don't...
259
00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:41,716
What's the difference?
Now that you found me, what do you want?
260
00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:57,401
May I?
261
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:07,375
- Come on, quit stalling around.
- What was it they called you at the ball?
262
00:18:07,453 --> 00:18:08,977
- Mark?
- Chapman.
263
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:15,755
When did you change your name, George?
Right after you left me?
264
00:18:17,062 --> 00:18:18,962
So I wouldn't find you?
265
00:18:19,631 --> 00:18:21,292
You knew I was so crazy about you
266
00:18:21,366 --> 00:18:24,028
I'd look and look and look,
didn't you, George?
267
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,697
Come on, get to it. What do you want?
268
00:18:27,739 --> 00:18:32,574
You're still in a hurry, aren't you?
That's the thing I remember best about you.
269
00:18:32,878 --> 00:18:37,645
The fellow who always ran and never walked.
Had to get places fast!
270
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,749
And you got places, didn't you, George?
271
00:18:44,323 --> 00:18:46,883
Here, you need some money?
Here's some for now.
272
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,860
Money? The payoff, George?
273
00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:54,497
How much? How much for each year?
274
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:58,633
How much for the agony
and the heartbreak and the fear?
275
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:03,141
- Charlotte, cut the ham act.
- This could be for the doctor bill, see?
276
00:19:06,578 --> 00:19:10,173
I was 20 years younger then,
took things more seriously.
277
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:14,142
I can't imagine how much.
278
00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:18,087
You're boring me now, like you always did.
279
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:20,388
People always bored you
280
00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:23,155
when you didn't have
any more use for them, didn't they, George?
281
00:19:23,228 --> 00:19:25,025
Bores and nuisances, I get rid of them.
282
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:27,497
Yeah, the same gentle way
you got rid of me.
283
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:28,692
My lawyer will get in touch with you.
284
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:31,702
He'll arrange a quiet divorce
and generous alimony.
285
00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:34,671
You're an important man now,
aren't you, George?
286
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:37,038
Editor of the <i>New York Express.</i>
287
00:19:38,977 --> 00:19:43,346
I never thought I'd be the wife of the editor
of a big New York newspaper.
288
00:19:43,415 --> 00:19:47,112
You're not, and don't get any ideas
about forcing yourself.
289
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:51,020
You've got nothing to gain by refusing me
a divorce now like you did 20 years ago.
290
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:56,759
I was young then and so foolishly in love.
I wanted so much to hold onto you.
291
00:19:57,496 --> 00:20:00,021
I made all of my mistakes when I was young,
and you were the biggest one.
292
00:20:00,098 --> 00:20:02,794
I fell for an attractive hunk of flesh.
293
00:20:04,169 --> 00:20:07,627
"Hold me." You didn't try to hang on.
You strangled me.
294
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,936
I'd smother to death with you.
295
00:20:15,747 --> 00:20:19,808
Turnabout's fair play.
When you walked out on me, I died inside.
296
00:20:20,352 --> 00:20:23,116
When I walk out of here, you're gonna die.
297
00:20:23,188 --> 00:20:27,852
Everything you worked for, grabbed for,
ruined people to get, it's all gonna die!
298
00:20:27,926 --> 00:20:29,393
You're a neurotic screwball!
299
00:20:29,461 --> 00:20:33,955
I'm gonna spread your story all over town.
Mark Chapman, the great editor!
300
00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:37,829
Wife deserter!
Living under a false name for 20 years.
301
00:20:39,137 --> 00:20:42,334
What else did you cover up
living under a phony name?
302
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:44,637
Your publishers are gonna love this.
303
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:49,044
And the other papers, they'll cut you
to ribbons with this information!
304
00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,470
Hi, honey, let me have the city room.
305
00:23:33,812 --> 00:23:37,179
This is Elkins.
If you need me, I'm over in Skinners.
306
00:23:38,316 --> 00:23:41,808
What? Having breakfast. Yeah, breakfast.
307
00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:53,323
Yes, Julie, after that fortunate
and historical meeting with Mark yesterday,
308
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:57,629
I had considerable difficulty
wooing the fickle Morpheus.
309
00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:01,939
That explains it.
Those bleeding eyes today.
310
00:24:02,474 --> 00:24:05,341
Well, I did have a couple
with the boys down below.
311
00:24:05,410 --> 00:24:08,277
A sort of celebration, and then farewell.
312
00:24:11,049 --> 00:24:13,574
You should have left them long ago, Charlie.
313
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:15,916
Any man who was big enough
in his day to rate that,
314
00:24:16,555 --> 00:24:20,389
a place in Skinner's Hall of Fame,
is still too big for Dead-End Street.
315
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:25,028
No regrets, Julie. My temporary alliance
with the denizens of the Bowery
316
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:29,863
has provided me with a deeper insight
into the whys and wherefores of mankind.
317
00:24:35,674 --> 00:24:38,006
A proven medical fact,
when the human system
318
00:24:38,076 --> 00:24:40,840
has been lengthily nurtured
on alcoholic stimulants,
319
00:24:40,912 --> 00:24:44,871
any abrupt cessation of same
will result in a negative reaction.
320
00:24:45,016 --> 00:24:46,381
Absolutely.
321
00:24:47,652 --> 00:24:52,385
But I'm tapering off. I'll be a firmly-rooted
passenger on the old water wagon
322
00:24:52,524 --> 00:24:54,856
by the time Mark's ready for me.
323
00:24:57,295 --> 00:25:01,561
Charlie, don't bet everything
on Mark Chapman.
324
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:06,666
He won't let me down.
First time I felt ready, I asked him for a job,
325
00:25:06,938 --> 00:25:10,032
and what happened?
He offered me one, didn't he?
326
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:15,173
- Mr. Lonely Heart.
- Compliments of the <i>Express,</i> Myrtle.
327
00:25:15,747 --> 00:25:18,545
- I see you read. You stick with the radio.
- Yeah.
328
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:20,744
Hey, McCleary,
I read that rag of yours by accident.
329
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:23,287
Yeah, me, too.
From ax murder to Ionely hearts.
330
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:25,653
What are you trying to prove,
you're versatile or something?
331
00:25:25,724 --> 00:25:27,885
What are you gentlemen
reading our rag for?
332
00:25:27,959 --> 00:25:30,427
Trying to find out
what's happening that's news?
333
00:25:30,495 --> 00:25:32,929
Good morning, kiddies. What's the word?
334
00:25:35,066 --> 00:25:36,624
Silly, that's the word.
335
00:25:36,701 --> 00:25:38,635
Still a heaping bunch of joy,
aren't you, princess?
336
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:43,663
Lonely Hearts Ball. Journalism has certainly
changed since the old days.
337
00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:47,302
What happened to you last night?
Pulled a fast fade on me.
338
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:50,712
- Don't tell me you actually missed me?
- I needed protection.
339
00:25:50,782 --> 00:25:53,250
Some of our love-hungry subscribers
got mixed up.
340
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:56,014
They were offering me deep-freezes
and vacuum cleaners.
341
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:59,318
- I'm surprised you refused.
- How do you know I did?
342
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:02,849
Certainly heavy coverage
on the unrequited passion set.
343
00:26:03,261 --> 00:26:06,924
Our love and romance edition, Charlie.
Even the crossword puzzle.
344
00:26:06,998 --> 00:26:08,966
But nothing from the Allison corner.
345
00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:12,335
Not interested in romance, Julie?
346
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:16,465
Not the kind that blossoms
on free gas stoves and television sets.
347
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:21,235
- About that Lonely Heart gag, I've got a...
- Steve, on the radio.
348
00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:27,652
- Julie. Hi, Charlie.
- Hi, Biddle.
349
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:31,086
Police call. Dead dame in a flat
on Third Avenue. Are you interested?
350
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:33,090
Well, she'd probably be a cheerful change.
351
00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:36,685
I'm still getting the icebox treatment
from the female on my left.
352
00:26:36,761 --> 00:26:40,162
After them scarecrows I shot last night,
I figure my luck's gotta change.
353
00:26:40,231 --> 00:26:43,428
Even dead, this dame's bound
to have more glamour.
354
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:45,467
Let's give her a look.
355
00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:48,801
Thanks for the coffee, kitten.
356
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:03,785
Another scarecrow. I'm batting goose eggs.
357
00:27:05,323 --> 00:27:07,848
Dames have got to make trouble
even when they die, don't they, pal?
358
00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:11,384
Yeah, water downstairs and water upstairs.
359
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:14,531
Probably wanted a room
with a swimming pool.
360
00:27:14,966 --> 00:27:16,866
Hey, Davis, what are you doing here?
361
00:27:16,935 --> 00:27:21,031
I just wanted to see if I couldn't get
to one of our calls before you did.
362
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:22,471
This isn't a homicide?
363
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:24,531
We got a new man
on the beat here, McCleary.
364
00:27:24,609 --> 00:27:26,167
He's built like you between the ears.
365
00:27:26,244 --> 00:27:29,975
He saw a hole in the back of the dame's head
and figured she was slugged.
366
00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:31,515
What's your guess, Lieutenant?
367
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:33,949
She put the hole
in the back of her head herself?
368
00:27:34,019 --> 00:27:36,783
Yeah, wise-eyes, that's it. That's it exactly.
369
00:27:36,855 --> 00:27:40,291
She slipped in the tub
and opened her skull on a faucet.
370
00:27:40,358 --> 00:27:43,953
- What was the lady's name, Sherlock?
- The landlady says Jane Jones.
371
00:27:44,029 --> 00:27:45,360
- Do you believe it?
- Yeah, I believe it.
372
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:47,762
I'm fresh out of nursery school.
373
00:27:48,466 --> 00:27:52,402
Jane Jones, alias Jane Doe.
Say, Dave, you're really humming.
374
00:27:53,204 --> 00:27:56,401
Look, nuisance, if you so much as make
these bedsprings squeak once again,
375
00:27:56,474 --> 00:28:00,308
- I'll throw you in the tub with the dame.
- Lieutenant, please.
376
00:28:04,616 --> 00:28:08,177
You're wrong, Dave.
She was murdered. Clear as your head.
377
00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:10,347
Murdered for her money.
378
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:13,949
Why, this lady must have spent easily
six or seven dollars a year on clothes.
379
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:15,492
Why don't you go home, McCleary?
380
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,462
There's nothing around here
to interest a big newsman like you.
381
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:27,827
Look, junior, keep your nose
in your own business, or I'll run you in
382
00:28:27,906 --> 00:28:31,137
- for obstruction, suspicion and vagrancy.
- Why, sure, Dave.
383
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:33,837
I just thought there might be something
in here to help identify her.
384
00:28:33,912 --> 00:28:35,243
No suitcase, huh?
385
00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:41,715
- In there, boys.
- Okay, Steve, I got all I need.
386
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:46,957
Thanks, Dave.
387
00:28:49,127 --> 00:28:52,062
- No, not you two again.
- What do you guys do,
388
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:54,758
smell these things
before the police call is even in?
389
00:28:54,833 --> 00:28:57,301
Try to forget your mugs.
There's a lady in the bathroom.
390
00:28:57,368 --> 00:29:00,531
- Yes, so knock before entering.
- Coming through.
391
00:29:10,381 --> 00:29:12,406
- What'd you pinch that for?
- Look familiar?
392
00:29:12,484 --> 00:29:15,544
I had them in front of me all night, didn't I?
393
00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:18,747
Hey, that's off a Lonely Hearts badge!
394
00:29:18,823 --> 00:29:22,554
Yeah. How many pictures
did you and the boys take at the ball?
395
00:29:22,627 --> 00:29:24,925
Three, maybe four hundred. I don't know.
396
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:27,260
Rush the print of Miss Bathtub
through the lab.
397
00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:28,594
Then check it against the others.
398
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:30,964
- See if you can match them up, okay?
- Sure.
399
00:29:31,035 --> 00:29:34,937
- Shouldn't take more than a week.
- Yeah, but I want it done in an hour.
400
00:29:35,006 --> 00:29:36,701
- I'll see you at the office.
- Where are you going?
401
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:39,903
I'm gonna hitch a ride to the morgue.
If you match them, call me.
402
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,674
How about a ride to the morgue, Pete?
403
00:30:04,969 --> 00:30:07,096
Hey, Needle Nellie, anybody home?
404
00:30:07,172 --> 00:30:08,662
Hey, handsome.
405
00:30:09,007 --> 00:30:11,271
- How you doing, sweetheart?
- Doing all right, handsome.
406
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:13,037
Come here and give us a kiss.
407
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,815
- How's business at the morgue, Nellie?
- Dead.
408
00:30:19,551 --> 00:30:21,178
Business is dead.
409
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:25,621
- It's good to see you, handsome.
- Likewise, sweetheart.
410
00:30:25,690 --> 00:30:27,385
A long time between dates.
411
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:30,621
But right now,
I come seeking your expert female advice.
412
00:30:30,695 --> 00:30:34,131
Anybody that's lived as long as me
can give it. Shoot.
413
00:30:34,732 --> 00:30:37,565
Nellie, if you had just one dress
to your name
414
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:39,535
and you'd fastened something onto it
with a safety pin,
415
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:40,969
and maybe you were in a hurry,
416
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,008
would you take time to undo the pin,
or would you rip the whole thing off?
417
00:30:44,075 --> 00:30:46,305
- This is a riddle?
- No, seriously.
418
00:30:46,377 --> 00:30:51,041
Well, if I had 10 dresses and the house
was burning down, I'd still undo the pin.
419
00:30:51,115 --> 00:30:52,639
Any lady would.
420
00:30:53,017 --> 00:30:55,485
That's what I figured.
I just wanted a woman to confirm it.
421
00:30:55,553 --> 00:30:57,453
I love you, Nellie. I love you.
422
00:30:57,522 --> 00:31:00,047
- Where you going, handsome?
- I gotta see the doc.
423
00:31:00,124 --> 00:31:01,955
Maybe I can get you some business, Nellie.
424
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:11,364
Did you get those ringside ducats
I sent you?
425
00:31:11,436 --> 00:31:13,427
Steve! Yeah, it was a great fight.
426
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:15,438
Mishke really tore that Haybelly apart,
didn't he?
427
00:31:15,506 --> 00:31:19,840
Had so much blood spattered on my glasses,
I missed the knockout punch.
428
00:31:20,478 --> 00:31:24,175
Look, Doc,
they just brought in an accidental death.
429
00:31:24,249 --> 00:31:27,047
- They're putting her in the freezer right now.
- So?
430
00:31:27,118 --> 00:31:30,110
So, I'd like you to give her
the onceover for me. An autopsy.
431
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:33,646
Accidents are out of my province.
You know that, Steve.
432
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:35,383
It's going to be
a great World Series this year.
433
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:37,087
Yeah, that it is.
434
00:31:37,528 --> 00:31:41,362
I don't suppose you'd be interested
in viewing the festivities from a box seat?
435
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:47,132
Are you trying to bribe a city official?
436
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:51,135
Right behind first base, Doc.
437
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:11,028
Yeah. Yeah, get some prints ready.
I think we've got our front page.
438
00:32:11,095 --> 00:32:14,792
Well, this is your lucky day. Drop back,
I want you to mark my racing form.
439
00:32:14,866 --> 00:32:16,766
Get the door, will you?
440
00:32:17,368 --> 00:32:20,064
Yeah, and don't forget, I smoke cigars.
441
00:32:20,838 --> 00:32:24,831
- Hey, Steve, let me wipe those off a little.
- Wipe them tomorrow.
442
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:32,008
Will you smile again
if I take you to dinner tonight?
443
00:32:32,083 --> 00:32:34,847
- A little celebration coming up.
- What's the celebration?
444
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:37,649
Another McCleary scoop.
Getting monotonous, isn't it?
445
00:32:37,722 --> 00:32:42,557
That dinner. A two-party celebration,
or are you bringing a friend?
446
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:44,559
Just you and me alone.
447
00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:47,825
I'll smile again.
What are the fragile treasures?
448
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:52,060
Very rare items.
Pictures of a dame with her mouth shut.
449
00:32:53,071 --> 00:32:55,972
- Joey, catch the door, will you?
- All right.
450
00:32:58,676 --> 00:33:01,270
I've been waiting a long time
for a chance to say this.
451
00:33:01,346 --> 00:33:03,439
- Stop the presses!
- Did you get a morning-after story
452
00:33:03,514 --> 00:33:05,004
on any of those couples
we married last night?
453
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:07,483
I got a story from one
of the Lonely Heart Ball guests, all right.
454
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:11,079
But she didn't get married last night.
She got murdered!
455
00:33:19,964 --> 00:33:23,263
- Who is she?
- A Jane Doe. Nobody knows her real name.
456
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:25,996
The police think she slipped in the bathtub
and bashed her head in,
457
00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:30,507
- or they did until a little while ago.
- But you knew better all the time?
458
00:33:30,575 --> 00:33:32,941
After Doc O'Hanlon got through
cutting her up for me.
459
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:36,538
She died between 9:00 and 12:00 last night,
before she went under in the tub.
460
00:33:36,614 --> 00:33:38,479
No water in her lungs.
461
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:40,283
Did he find anything else?
462
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:44,788
Yeah, her killer was a man, middle-aged,
fair complexion. Had brown hair.
463
00:33:45,390 --> 00:33:47,620
O'Hanlon found that
in scraping under her fingernails.
464
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:50,593
You ran into this
just by playing a hunch, huh?
465
00:33:50,661 --> 00:33:53,858
A string from a Lonely Heart badge
was on her dress in the closet.
466
00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:57,628
The badge had been torn off.
I followed through from there.
467
00:34:00,371 --> 00:34:04,364
Well, is this a story,
this Lonely Heart murdered after the ball?
468
00:34:04,575 --> 00:34:06,805
Can you sell papers with this?
469
00:34:10,248 --> 00:34:13,342
Baxter, Jordan, Allison,
get in here right away.
470
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:15,477
They didn't know her name, you said?
471
00:34:15,553 --> 00:34:18,920
Well, she called herself Jane Jones.
How phony can you get?
472
00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:20,014
We've just been struck by lightning.
473
00:34:20,091 --> 00:34:22,025
It's a great follow-up
for the Lonely Hearts Ball.
474
00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:24,118
Tell them about it, Steve.
475
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:30,997
We'll call her Miss Lonely Heart,
no other name. Alone in the city, friendless.
476
00:34:31,536 --> 00:34:34,801
She went to our shindig last night,
hunting for a soul mate.
477
00:34:34,872 --> 00:34:37,363
Maybe she found one, the wrong one.
478
00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:39,872
Anyway, she left early,
and sometime before midnight
479
00:34:39,944 --> 00:34:41,343
she was beaten to death in her room
480
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:44,540
by a brown-haired, middle-aged man
of fair complexion.
481
00:34:44,615 --> 00:34:46,480
A smash follow-up is right.
482
00:34:46,551 --> 00:34:49,247
The killer had a head full of brains.
Good nerves.
483
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,723
He lugged her to the bathroom,
stripped her, tossed the body in the tub.
484
00:34:54,459 --> 00:34:58,520
No. No, he stood the body in the tub.
Aimed, let go!
485
00:34:58,696 --> 00:35:03,190
Bang, her head cracks the faucet.
Almost perfect crime. Ordinary accident.
486
00:35:04,035 --> 00:35:06,936
He's working smartly,
a guy with imagination.
487
00:35:07,004 --> 00:35:10,963
He takes her slip, stockings,
washes them, hangs them up to dry.
488
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,000
He wipes his prints off everywhere.
489
00:35:13,077 --> 00:35:16,274
He starts getting rid of anything
that could identify her.
490
00:35:16,347 --> 00:35:18,907
He took a ring off her,
probably a wedding or engagement ring.
491
00:35:18,983 --> 00:35:22,111
- How do you know that?
- Whitish circle, third finger, left hand.
492
00:35:22,186 --> 00:35:25,587
- O'Hanlon spotted it at the morgue.
- All right, go on, go on.
493
00:35:25,656 --> 00:35:27,954
Well, he grabs any other personal items
that might identify her
494
00:35:28,025 --> 00:35:29,856
and throws them in her suitcase and blows.
495
00:35:29,927 --> 00:35:32,361
- How do you know she's got a suitcase?
- Every dame's got a suitcase.
496
00:35:32,430 --> 00:35:34,022
But there wasn't one
in Miss Lonely Heart's room.
497
00:35:34,098 --> 00:35:35,861
This'll kick up the circulation.
498
00:35:36,701 --> 00:35:40,137
We can make the 5:00 edition exclusive.
Steve can do the lead story.
499
00:35:40,204 --> 00:35:42,263
Jordan, I want three column cuts
of the dame's picture at the ball
500
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:44,433
and the murder photo.
Allison, write me a sob story,
501
00:35:44,509 --> 00:35:46,568
"Miss Lonely Heart
won't be Ionely anymore."
502
00:35:46,644 --> 00:35:47,736
Fine job, Steve.
503
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,303
Sure, it's a great job,
but we're gonna top it.
504
00:35:50,381 --> 00:35:51,439
How?
505
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,513
- Bury her.
- Bury her?
506
00:35:57,555 --> 00:35:59,682
The best story I ever dug up, and he tops it.
507
00:35:59,757 --> 00:36:02,157
By 5:00 tonight, Miss Lonely Heart
will be selling newspapers for us
508
00:36:02,226 --> 00:36:05,923
on every street corner in Manhattan.
Now, go on, get going.
509
00:37:42,126 --> 00:37:43,787
Be seeing you, Humpty.
510
00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:31,269
Look, I've shown you everything in the shop.
That's the last one I've got!
511
00:38:35,513 --> 00:38:36,605
Mark!
512
00:38:39,283 --> 00:38:41,217
- Mark, old boy!
- How are you, Charlie.
513
00:38:41,285 --> 00:38:45,085
What distasteful mission brings you to this
unholy neighborhood, Mark, my friend?
514
00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:46,589
I'm just looking around.
I like to keep my hand in,
515
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,124
even though I am strapped
to a desk right now.
516
00:38:48,192 --> 00:38:50,126
You wouldn't mean you're keeping
your hand in by working
517
00:38:50,194 --> 00:38:51,821
on this Lonely Heart murder,
would you, now, Mark?
518
00:38:51,896 --> 00:38:53,955
I've got a staff to take care of that for me.
519
00:38:54,031 --> 00:38:56,727
You can't kid an old newshound
like me, Mark.
520
00:38:56,801 --> 00:39:00,999
Still following our old formula,
first check the hock shops for a clue?
521
00:39:01,072 --> 00:39:03,336
Didn't wanna tip your hand
to those cops in there, did you?
522
00:39:03,407 --> 00:39:05,637
I tell you I'm not down here on business.
Now stop playing hawkshaw!
523
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:08,770
Let me show you Charlie Barnes
still has the master's touch
524
00:39:08,846 --> 00:39:11,713
- when it comes to following up a lead, Mark.
- Tell me about it later, will you,
525
00:39:11,782 --> 00:39:15,684
- when you come back to work for me?
- You're afraid I'll get drunk and tip the story.
526
00:39:15,753 --> 00:39:18,881
- I'm tapering off, Mark.
- That's fine, Charlie. I'll call you.
527
00:39:18,956 --> 00:39:23,825
Let me work this with you, Mark. I know
this whole district from gutter to rum-heads.
528
00:39:23,894 --> 00:39:26,226
Pete in the pawnshop's
an honored friend of mine.
529
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:27,992
- Yeah.
- I can get him to work with me and...
530
00:39:28,065 --> 00:39:30,898
- Hello, Charlie!
- Go away.
531
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:35,400
- Here, Charlie, here's something to count.
- I don't want a handout, Mark.
532
00:39:35,473 --> 00:39:37,498
- I want to work.
- You can pay me later. I'll call you, Charlie.
533
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:39,338
Mark, let me help...
534
00:40:13,544 --> 00:40:14,704
Hang onto them, Pete.
535
00:40:14,779 --> 00:40:17,873
We'll drop back payday
and look them over again.
536
00:40:25,022 --> 00:40:26,489
Them guys should wear glasses.
537
00:40:26,557 --> 00:40:29,185
They do so much looking,
but never no buying.
538
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:31,125
Get this for me, Pete.
539
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:34,356
Taking something out for a change
instead of putting it in, Charlie?
540
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:37,526
I admit to the novelty of the occasion, Peter.
541
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:50,109
- Hey, you didn't hock this with me.
- Doing a favor for a friend.
542
00:40:52,082 --> 00:40:56,178
Them cops. You know, if someday
they should buy something from me, I'd...
543
00:40:56,253 --> 00:40:59,620
No, that'd be bad. I'd drop dead.
544
00:41:02,226 --> 00:41:06,185
You know, Charlie, I ought to be
in some other kind of business.
545
00:41:06,697 --> 00:41:10,497
You really meet a very poor class of people
in this business.
546
00:41:10,768 --> 00:41:13,259
Not meaning anything personal,
you understand.
547
00:41:13,337 --> 00:41:16,773
But I'm always dealing with people
who are in trouble,
548
00:41:17,274 --> 00:41:21,608
people who gotta hock something.
People who gotta buy something cheap.
549
00:41:24,582 --> 00:41:28,109
I don't like cheap things.
I never did and I never will.
550
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:34,356
I should have been big fur man, maybe,
or big jewelry man.
551
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,651
Then I could deal with rich people.
552
00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:42,554
That's the kind of people
I really prefer to deal with.
553
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:47,694
- Hey! How much is on this ticket?
- Two bucks.
554
00:41:58,249 --> 00:41:59,841
Here, sign here.
555
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:08,424
You know, sometimes they say
even the rich people aren't happy.
556
00:42:08,492 --> 00:42:11,017
But how that could be, I don't know.
557
00:42:12,296 --> 00:42:15,857
Thank you, Peter.
Thank you for being in business!
558
00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:21,433
Thank you very much.
559
00:42:33,517 --> 00:42:35,041
A shot, Heeney.
560
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:38,614
You look like your blood pressure's boiling,
Charlie. What's the matter?
561
00:42:38,689 --> 00:42:40,680
The classic irony of the age, Heeney.
562
00:42:40,758 --> 00:42:43,659
Charlie Barnes, a stewbum,
rocking the newspaper world
563
00:42:43,727 --> 00:42:46,457
like he never did in all his sober days.
564
00:43:00,411 --> 00:43:02,208
- Composing.
- Yes, sir.
565
00:43:04,481 --> 00:43:07,712
Yes. Yes, madam,
I have two answers for you.
566
00:43:08,185 --> 00:43:11,313
First, you shouldn't talk
to strange men in bars.
567
00:43:11,388 --> 00:43:13,982
Second, because he asked you to marry him
568
00:43:14,058 --> 00:43:16,356
then hit you with a pretzel dish
when you refused
569
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:19,191
isn't conclusive proof
he's our Lonely Heart Killer,
570
00:43:19,263 --> 00:43:21,697
but thanks for calling, lady. Bye.
571
00:43:23,334 --> 00:43:26,326
Phony or not,
those tips belong to the police.
572
00:43:26,704 --> 00:43:30,299
When are you going to get rid of the idea
you're wearing an invisible badge?
573
00:43:30,374 --> 00:43:34,140
Julie Allison. Hello, Charlie. How are you?
574
00:43:36,714 --> 00:43:38,181
The Lonely Heart murder?
575
00:43:38,248 --> 00:43:42,844
And you've got to meet me right away.
We have to figure out how to handle this.
576
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,514
I know the killer, and it's dynamite.
577
00:43:46,757 --> 00:43:48,952
Well, Charlie,
that story is really Steve McCleary's.
578
00:43:49,026 --> 00:43:52,587
- I think you'd better talk to...
- No, no, Julie, I want you to have this.
579
00:43:52,663 --> 00:43:55,393
Now I can repay you, Julie child,
for everything.
580
00:43:55,466 --> 00:43:59,596
Julie, this is so... It's so tremendous,
it'll put both of us on top.
581
00:44:02,272 --> 00:44:04,035
What? What, Julie?
582
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:08,835
Okay, okay, both of you meet me.
583
00:44:08,912 --> 00:44:11,540
Maybe we will need
somebody like McCleary.
584
00:44:11,615 --> 00:44:14,175
Steve, Charlie says
he has information on the murder.
585
00:44:14,251 --> 00:44:18,654
- He's awfully excited about something.
- About two quarts full, probably.
586
00:44:19,890 --> 00:44:21,881
Yeah, Charlie, what's up?
587
00:44:22,726 --> 00:44:25,695
I wanted Julie to have this,
but she insists you be on in it.
588
00:44:25,763 --> 00:44:27,663
I mean you be in on it.
589
00:44:27,965 --> 00:44:30,297
- What's the matter, Charlie?
- No.
590
00:44:31,368 --> 00:44:34,462
- What? You're not sore, are you?
- No, go away!
591
00:44:36,006 --> 00:44:38,099
What? What have I got?
592
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:40,939
I've got the Lonely Heart Killer for you,
that's what!
593
00:44:41,011 --> 00:44:44,777
Gee, Charlie, that's great.
You getting him crocked so he'll confess?
594
00:44:44,848 --> 00:44:48,807
I haven't got him. I know who he is.
595
00:44:54,858 --> 00:44:55,950
What?
596
00:44:59,563 --> 00:45:03,465
Yes, I'm in a saloon.
I'm in Heeney's. But I'm not drunk.
597
00:45:04,034 --> 00:45:07,128
I've just taken the hottest story
of the century out of hock, and I'm gonna...
598
00:45:08,038 --> 00:45:11,064
He's really flying tonight.
See what your 10 bucks did?
599
00:45:11,141 --> 00:45:15,009
Stop treating him like some
weak-minded child. Listen to what he's got.
600
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:19,482
- He's not this excited for nothing.
- You know what he's got? The DTs.
601
00:45:19,616 --> 00:45:21,675
Charlie Barnes, tanked to the eyeballs,
602
00:45:21,752 --> 00:45:24,880
says he just took the Lonely Heart
murder solution out of hock.
603
00:45:26,056 --> 00:45:29,583
Hello, Charlie?
Still there? Let's start all over again.
604
00:45:30,294 --> 00:45:34,788
Listen, you mental midget. The only reason
I'm calling the <i>Express</i> is Julie Allison.
605
00:45:34,865 --> 00:45:37,732
Before I'd give this story
to an insolent young pup like you,
606
00:45:37,801 --> 00:45:39,792
I'd take it to the <i>Daily Leader!</i>
607
00:45:39,870 --> 00:45:42,304
Charlie's mad now.
Gonna sell it to the <i>Leader.</i>
608
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:46,069
- Hang up on the drunken slob.
- Julie? She just left.
609
00:45:46,477 --> 00:45:48,570
I guess we'll just have to read your story
in the <i>Leader</i> tomorrow.
610
00:45:48,645 --> 00:45:50,772
- So long, pal.
- Give me that.
611
00:45:51,815 --> 00:45:53,077
- Hello? Hello?
- Don't be silly, Julie.
612
00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:55,141
He'll just keep you up all night
listening to his fairytales.
613
00:45:55,219 --> 00:45:59,349
- Where was he calling from?
- Bellevue psycho ward, I think he said.
614
00:46:00,257 --> 00:46:01,747
Your 10 bucks.
615
00:47:13,697 --> 00:47:15,460
- Keep this for me, Heeney.
- Why, sure, Charlie.
616
00:47:15,532 --> 00:47:17,056
A couple hours.
617
00:47:17,868 --> 00:47:20,359
One more, Heeney. One for the road.
618
00:48:05,215 --> 00:48:06,739
Hello, Charlie.
619
00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:13,617
Mark. I thought you were still down
at the Bowery.
620
00:48:15,692 --> 00:48:18,024
I hear you got a story, Charlie.
621
00:48:18,195 --> 00:48:20,060
Where'd you hear that?
622
00:48:20,597 --> 00:48:25,364
- Isn't that what you told McCleary?
- Why, I was just schmoozing him, I...
623
00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:28,295
Lining him up for a little touch.
624
00:48:28,372 --> 00:48:31,432
I gave you some money.
What did you do with it?
625
00:48:31,775 --> 00:48:33,333
You didn't, by any chance,
find a pawn ticket
626
00:48:33,410 --> 00:48:36,379
- mixed in with the money, did you, Charlie?
- Pawn ticket? Why, I...
627
00:48:36,446 --> 00:48:40,177
Did you use the money
to get the story out of hock, Charlie?
628
00:48:41,218 --> 00:48:44,585
You've got something that belongs to me.
Where is it?
629
00:48:45,389 --> 00:48:47,220
You were on the way to the <i>Leader</i>
with some evidence.
630
00:48:47,291 --> 00:48:49,725
Where is it, Charlie? Where is it?
631
00:49:01,905 --> 00:49:04,738
It's a wonderful story, isn't it, Charlie?
632
00:49:05,509 --> 00:49:07,909
You wanted to be a big man, Mark.
633
00:49:08,745 --> 00:49:12,476
This will make you famous
beyond your most ambitious dreams.
634
00:49:13,884 --> 00:49:18,412
Great story?
I've waited all my life for a story like this.
635
00:49:19,456 --> 00:49:23,483
Well, you've got it, Charlie.
But you're not going to write it.
636
00:49:27,130 --> 00:49:30,622
You're crazy, Mark.
Twenty years you've covered the news.
637
00:49:30,701 --> 00:49:33,761
Seen the bright boys try this. It never works.
638
00:49:56,493 --> 00:49:59,587
We just heard about Charlie Barnes.
Rotten deal.
639
00:50:00,163 --> 00:50:04,293
It's hard when it's someone like Charlie
you've known for 22 years.
640
00:50:04,401 --> 00:50:06,164
I knew him 25 years.
641
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:10,167
I never expected to see him
laying on a slab in this place.
642
00:50:10,507 --> 00:50:15,001
Is that right, Doc? Was he found
in an alleyway across from the <i>Daily Leader?</i>
643
00:50:15,078 --> 00:50:17,205
- Steve...
- Yes, that's right.
644
00:50:17,447 --> 00:50:20,439
The <i>Daily Leader.</i> He had a story!
645
00:50:20,517 --> 00:50:23,509
But he was taking your clever,
insolent, fresh-guy advice
646
00:50:23,587 --> 00:50:27,216
- and giving it to the <i>Leader!</i>
- He was drunk, Julie. How could I know...
647
00:50:27,290 --> 00:50:29,656
Charlie Barnes never got so drunk
he didn't know a story!
648
00:50:29,726 --> 00:50:33,492
Or that he'd try to peddle
a phony tip to a newspaper! But you...
649
00:50:33,563 --> 00:50:35,394
You couldn't bother listening to him!
650
00:50:35,465 --> 00:50:38,798
You and that newsprint hero of yours,
Mark Chapman.
651
00:50:39,269 --> 00:50:41,032
You couldn't expect us to believe
that Charlie Barnes
652
00:50:41,104 --> 00:50:43,129
had any real information
on the murder, Julie.
653
00:50:43,206 --> 00:50:45,231
We still don't know that he did.
654
00:50:45,308 --> 00:50:49,711
If you and that stone-hearted, glory seeking,
"I am the great Mark Chapman"
655
00:50:49,780 --> 00:50:51,771
had thrown Charlie
the miserable crumb of respect
656
00:50:51,848 --> 00:50:54,510
of just listening to him, he'd be alive today!
657
00:50:54,584 --> 00:50:58,748
Julie, maybe you're right.
Maybe it is partly my fault Charlie's dead.
658
00:50:58,822 --> 00:51:01,882
I'm sorry. Really sorry. But what can I do?
659
00:51:02,392 --> 00:51:06,123
Don't go soft! Show Chapman
you're a chip off the old block.
660
00:51:06,596 --> 00:51:08,655
Have him give Charlie a fancy funeral.
661
00:51:08,732 --> 00:51:11,997
Great headline.
"The <i>Express</i> buries its cast-offs."
662
00:51:12,436 --> 00:51:14,097
It'll sell papers!
663
00:51:27,350 --> 00:51:31,912
Kenny, rewrite that one paragraph, will you?
Allison had a bad night. Yeah.
664
00:51:32,289 --> 00:51:35,087
I just got yesterday's figures
from circulation, Mark.
665
00:51:35,158 --> 00:51:38,491
Six hundred and ninety-six thousand.
You're moving up there.
666
00:51:38,562 --> 00:51:41,292
Looks as though it's going to cost
the <i>Express</i> some bonus money before long.
667
00:51:41,364 --> 00:51:44,765
Quicker than you can say,
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Stockholder Rawley!"
668
00:51:44,835 --> 00:51:46,666
We're only starting,
Mr. Madison, only starting.
669
00:51:46,736 --> 00:51:48,260
That's the spirit!
670
00:51:48,338 --> 00:51:50,272
When you get to the editor's chair,
remember one thing.
671
00:51:50,340 --> 00:51:54,743
You're a hero with a lifetime job,
as long as the circulation is rising.
672
00:51:55,045 --> 00:51:59,379
- What have you got there?
- Something that will keep circulation rising.
673
00:51:59,716 --> 00:52:01,581
Charlie Barnes' story.
674
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:04,378
What are you talking about?
675
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:06,820
Charlie wasn't near the <i>Daily Leader</i>
by accident, Mark.
676
00:52:06,890 --> 00:52:08,790
He had something to print.
677
00:52:08,859 --> 00:52:11,419
I couldn't find it in his effects
at the morgue this morning,
678
00:52:11,495 --> 00:52:15,932
but I found it at Heeney's bar,
the joint Charlie phoned from last night.
679
00:52:16,233 --> 00:52:19,134
Half a pawnshop ticket was still on the bag.
680
00:52:19,236 --> 00:52:21,431
Pete's Hock Shop. I checked it.
681
00:52:21,505 --> 00:52:24,838
Charlie came in the pawnshop last night
with a claim check.
682
00:52:24,908 --> 00:52:27,536
Said he was unhocking it for a friend.
683
00:52:28,478 --> 00:52:31,743
Well, what's in the bag?
Miss Lonely Heart's name and address?
684
00:52:32,916 --> 00:52:36,477
Better than that, Mark.
Much better than that.
685
00:52:38,054 --> 00:52:40,579
A picture of the guy who killed her.
686
00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:52,362
A picture?
You can't even see the guy's face!
687
00:52:52,435 --> 00:52:54,596
What's the matter, Mark?
This is the first real lead we've got.
688
00:52:54,671 --> 00:52:56,263
The way you talked,
I thought we had it all sewed up.
689
00:52:56,339 --> 00:52:59,604
Sure, it's a lead, but it's a thin one.
How much does this give us?
690
00:52:59,676 --> 00:53:04,773
Well, we're certain the dame had a husband.
They were married in 1931 in Connecticut.
691
00:53:05,248 --> 00:53:09,048
- The husband's the guy who killed her.
- How do you make that?
692
00:53:09,419 --> 00:53:11,580
The ring mark on her finger
must have been a wedding ring.
693
00:53:11,655 --> 00:53:14,055
The inscription inside
could have identified him.
694
00:53:14,124 --> 00:53:16,388
And he grabbed the pawn ticket
figuring she'd hocked some belongings
695
00:53:16,459 --> 00:53:18,893
- that might peg him.
- Makes sense.
696
00:53:19,396 --> 00:53:22,194
Charlie got the pawn ticket from the killer.
697
00:53:22,265 --> 00:53:25,701
He must have been with him sometime,
someplace, yesterday.
698
00:53:25,769 --> 00:53:28,329
A lot of people
could have seen them together, right?
699
00:53:28,405 --> 00:53:29,770
Could have.
700
00:53:31,141 --> 00:53:33,609
Splash this picture
on the front page tonight.
701
00:53:33,677 --> 00:53:35,975
Offer a reward for information.
702
00:53:39,149 --> 00:53:41,674
"Lonely Heart Killer strikes again."
703
00:53:43,153 --> 00:53:45,246
When you write the story,
say that Barnes was working on this case
704
00:53:45,322 --> 00:53:46,346
undercover for the <i>Express.</i>
705
00:53:46,423 --> 00:53:49,620
He got too close to the killer
and died in the line of duty.
706
00:53:49,693 --> 00:53:50,887
Mark, I don't know, it...
707
00:53:50,961 --> 00:53:54,863
Nobody can deny it. It'll help sell papers.
We'll offer $1,000.
708
00:53:55,232 --> 00:53:58,360
Look, kid, don't pin your hopes
on anybody being able
709
00:53:58,435 --> 00:54:02,030
to spot the guy from this.
Unless they got x-ray eyes.
710
00:54:02,339 --> 00:54:04,034
I'm sure Charlie connected
the guy in the picture
711
00:54:04,107 --> 00:54:08,601
with the bird who gave him the pawn ticket.
I'm going to fine-tooth the Bowery myself.
712
00:54:08,678 --> 00:54:11,374
It's even money
that's where Charlie ran into our man.
713
00:54:11,448 --> 00:54:12,972
Good luck, kid.
714
00:54:44,314 --> 00:54:47,875
- Well, I got them for you, McCleary.
- Good work, Heeney.
715
00:55:05,368 --> 00:55:09,634
Well, this does it. I'll never touch
another drop the rest of my life.
716
00:55:17,547 --> 00:55:19,515
'Course some of them
been sucking on the bottle all night,
717
00:55:19,582 --> 00:55:21,516
but they can still stand up.
718
00:55:21,584 --> 00:55:24,747
- They all knew Charlie?
- Yeah, they all knew him.
719
00:55:25,088 --> 00:55:29,081
If you give McCleary here
any bum information, I'll brain you.
720
00:55:29,793 --> 00:55:31,818
And I might even do worse.
721
00:55:31,961 --> 00:55:35,522
No more free shots
when you're seeing little red spiders.
722
00:55:35,999 --> 00:55:40,095
How many of you boys saw Charlie Barnes
the day he was killed? Raise your hands.
723
00:55:40,170 --> 00:55:44,197
All right, raise your mitts,
them that seen Charlie day before yesterday.
724
00:55:44,274 --> 00:55:45,366
Good.
725
00:55:48,478 --> 00:55:50,446
- Where did you see him?
- See who?
726
00:55:50,513 --> 00:55:54,279
- This guy must be used to talking to mirrors.
- Charlie Barnes.
727
00:55:54,351 --> 00:55:58,253
I seen him come out of a joint
where he flopped in the morning.
728
00:56:00,824 --> 00:56:02,815
You, where'd you see him?
729
00:56:03,460 --> 00:56:05,826
- Humpty O'Dougal's saloon.
- What time?
730
00:56:05,895 --> 00:56:10,389
In the afternoon. Late in the afternoon.
Charlie had a nice little bun on.
731
00:56:10,934 --> 00:56:11,992
Was he with anybody?
732
00:56:12,068 --> 00:56:14,036
With anybody?
Sure, he was with somebody.
733
00:56:14,104 --> 00:56:16,834
Charlie never drank by himself
if he had a little cash on him.
734
00:56:16,906 --> 00:56:19,966
- Well, do you know the guy he was with?
- Certainly I know who he was with.
735
00:56:20,043 --> 00:56:23,206
- Well, who was it?
- Me. He sprung me three slugs.
736
00:56:29,686 --> 00:56:32,678
When did you see him?
When did you see him?
737
00:56:36,159 --> 00:56:38,491
- This morning.
- Throw him out of here.
738
00:56:38,561 --> 00:56:41,086
- Wait a minute!
- What are you talking about?
739
00:56:41,164 --> 00:56:44,691
- Now, is there any more jokers in the crowd?
- I seen him.
740
00:56:45,735 --> 00:56:49,136
Yeah? Well, go on. Where'd you see him?
741
00:56:51,074 --> 00:56:53,770
On the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
742
00:56:53,843 --> 00:56:57,472
- Go on, go on.
- Nothing. He was working a sucker.
743
00:56:58,014 --> 00:57:01,177
- Giving him the pally act, that's all.
- Now think hard.
744
00:57:01,251 --> 00:57:04,243
Do you remember the sucker?
Do you remember what he looks like?
745
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,754
- Maybe.
- What do you mean, "Maybe"?
746
00:57:06,890 --> 00:57:10,826
- Maybe for 50 bucks.
- Why you...
747
00:57:11,995 --> 00:57:15,362
Do you think you could remember
for 1,000 bucks?
748
00:57:17,267 --> 00:57:19,258
Who could tell who he is?
749
00:57:19,469 --> 00:57:22,461
Can you describe
the man you saw Charlie with?
750
00:57:22,906 --> 00:57:26,273
Do I get $1,000 if I do?
751
00:57:26,443 --> 00:57:28,968
You do. If and when we find the guy.
752
00:57:29,379 --> 00:57:32,212
- Sure, I can describe him.
- Well, go ahead.
753
00:57:34,918 --> 00:57:37,819
- You paying the reward?
- No, but my boss is.
754
00:57:38,655 --> 00:57:41,647
- Then I'll describe it to him.
- Okay. Come on.
755
00:57:41,791 --> 00:57:44,385
Rush this over to the composing room.
756
00:57:44,761 --> 00:57:48,492
Kenny, see if you can figure out
a heading for that rubbish.
757
00:57:48,698 --> 00:57:50,723
Connie! Connie, take this.
758
00:57:58,475 --> 00:57:59,806
Wait here.
759
00:58:13,623 --> 00:58:15,318
Look, Lieutenant,
just refer the captain to me.
760
00:58:15,391 --> 00:58:18,189
I'll tell him he's cropping at the best
homicide man he ever had on the force.
761
00:58:18,261 --> 00:58:20,491
If he doesn't know that,
he's deaf, dumb and blind.
762
00:58:20,563 --> 00:58:22,861
Yeah, never mind the malarkey, Chapman!
763
00:58:22,932 --> 00:58:24,900
The next time
you people pull a stunt like this,
764
00:58:24,968 --> 00:58:27,596
I'll throw both you and McCleary in the can!
765
00:58:28,271 --> 00:58:31,832
Okay, Lieutenant, okay.
I give you my word. Goodbye, pal.
766
00:58:33,042 --> 00:58:35,340
Davis is screaming because we gave him
the suitcase only a half hour
767
00:58:35,411 --> 00:58:36,878
before he read it in the <i>Express.</i>
768
00:58:36,946 --> 00:58:39,437
Well, I've got something
that ought to make him happy again.
769
00:58:39,516 --> 00:58:40,744
Not another suitcase?
770
00:58:40,817 --> 00:58:44,776
A guy who can identify the man
Charlie got the pawn ticket from.
771
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:51,384
Hey, Bailey. Come in here.
772
00:59:00,103 --> 00:59:03,561
He wouldn't describe the guy to me.
He needed the boss.
773
00:59:06,643 --> 00:59:08,304
You the boss?
774
00:59:09,379 --> 00:59:13,611
Yeah, and don't waste my time.
Where'd you see this guy with Charlie?
775
00:59:15,818 --> 00:59:18,446
Down the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
776
00:59:19,956 --> 00:59:22,151
You say you can describe him?
777
00:59:41,844 --> 00:59:44,335
Well, go on. What did he look like?
778
00:59:54,057 --> 00:59:55,786
Stand up, will you?
779
01:00:04,467 --> 01:00:07,766
Yeah, just how I figured.
780
01:00:08,805 --> 01:00:10,432
You figured what?
781
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,272
He was your size,
782
01:00:17,313 --> 01:00:18,678
your build.
783
01:00:19,115 --> 01:00:21,345
Could have been as old as you.
784
01:00:21,951 --> 01:00:26,217
- Is that all?
- All you asked me was to describe him.
785
01:00:26,723 --> 01:00:30,625
That was no description!
That could fit a million guys in this town.
786
01:00:30,693 --> 01:00:34,060
- Even me.
- Well, how about the reward?
787
01:00:34,130 --> 01:00:38,123
Here, take this down to the cashier
and pick yourself up five bucks.
788
01:00:38,201 --> 01:00:41,261
- Show him where it is, Steve.
- Come on, Bailey.
789
01:01:30,186 --> 01:01:31,517
Hey, Baxter, where's Julie?
790
01:01:31,587 --> 01:01:34,078
She came in this morning,
banged this out on her typewriter,
791
01:01:34,157 --> 01:01:36,216
and told me to give it to Chapman.
792
01:01:36,292 --> 01:01:38,385
- What is it?
- Her resignation.
793
01:01:38,461 --> 01:01:42,261
I figured I'd hang onto it a day or so.
Maybe she'd cool off.
794
01:01:42,632 --> 01:01:46,261
I'm sure glad you did.
I'll take care of it for you, okay?
795
01:01:49,238 --> 01:01:50,762
Baxter, thanks.
796
01:02:00,883 --> 01:02:03,647
- Hello, Mrs. Allison.
- Well, hello, Steve. Come in.
797
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,051
Thank you.
798
01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:14,458
I have a pot of coffee in the kitchen.
I'd better see to it.
799
01:02:14,664 --> 01:02:16,564
Can I say a few words to you?
800
01:02:16,632 --> 01:02:19,533
Without getting hit with a table
or something?
801
01:02:19,602 --> 01:02:22,230
Speak your piece and get it over with.
802
01:02:22,338 --> 01:02:25,535
I just got rocked
with a bad piece of news, Julie.
803
01:02:25,742 --> 01:02:28,040
I heard about your resignation.
804
01:02:28,444 --> 01:02:31,845
Well, I can't imagine
why you'd shed any tears over it.
805
01:02:31,914 --> 01:02:33,211
Well, for what it's worth,
806
01:02:33,282 --> 01:02:36,308
your resigning knocks the props
out of a lot of things for me.
807
01:02:37,754 --> 01:02:40,655
That couldn't have come
from Steve McCleary.
808
01:02:41,791 --> 01:02:44,851
Okay, pass it. But I didn't figure
your burn at Chapman and me
809
01:02:44,927 --> 01:02:48,454
would be bigger than your wanting
to do something about Charlie's murder.
810
01:02:49,632 --> 01:02:52,829
Don't start playing me
for a hollow-headed female now, Steve.
811
01:02:52,902 --> 01:02:55,871
Your only interest, and Chapman's,
in Charlie's death is exploiting it
812
01:02:55,938 --> 01:02:59,601
- for all the circulation jumping it's worth!
- Julie, I'm not digging on a story now
813
01:02:59,675 --> 01:03:03,577
just for the school-boy bang of seeing
my name over a sensational yarn.
814
01:03:03,646 --> 01:03:06,672
Yeah, that's right, I had to get hit pretty hard
before I smartened up.
815
01:03:06,749 --> 01:03:09,309
But now I'm leveling
on the Charlie Barnes business.
816
01:03:13,422 --> 01:03:18,257
Well, if I can believe what I'm hearing,
this certainly is a different McCleary.
817
01:03:19,328 --> 01:03:20,955
I've been working night and day.
818
01:03:21,030 --> 01:03:24,227
All I've done is run the local leads
to a dead end.
819
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:29,294
There's only one gimmick left to follow.
This picture, the marriage in Connecticut.
820
01:03:29,472 --> 01:03:33,067
It's odd the person who married them
hasn't recognized it.
821
01:03:33,142 --> 01:03:36,077
Unless he's dead or hasn't seen the picture.
822
01:03:36,579 --> 01:03:40,310
Yeah, I thought of that angle, too.
But it's a million-to-one shot.
823
01:03:40,383 --> 01:03:43,716
A guy would have to be an elephant
to remember a face after 21 years.
824
01:03:44,787 --> 01:03:48,314
Tell him about the elephant we met
on Fifth Avenue, about four years ago.
825
01:03:48,391 --> 01:03:50,791
We were walking along the street when,
right out of the blue,
826
01:03:50,860 --> 01:03:53,021
a complete stranger stopped me.
827
01:03:53,095 --> 01:03:56,656
It turned out to be the little preacher
who married Julie's father and me
828
01:03:56,732 --> 01:03:59,724
in Portland, Maine, 23 years before!
829
01:04:01,404 --> 01:04:06,603
- And he actually was able to recognize you?
- And I'd put on a little weight since then.
830
01:04:07,210 --> 01:04:10,270
They say a New Englander
seldom forgets a face.
831
01:04:10,980 --> 01:04:13,813
Crazy odds, but what can we lose?
832
01:04:15,051 --> 01:04:16,416
Yeah, get this picture
833
01:04:16,485 --> 01:04:19,750
to every churchman, judge
and justice of the peace in Connecticut.
834
01:04:19,822 --> 01:04:24,259
- It's certainly worth trying.
- It's a big job. Compiling lists,
835
01:04:24,527 --> 01:04:26,620
- checking out leads.
- It can be done.
836
01:04:26,696 --> 01:04:28,687
The two of us could handle it, Julie.
837
01:04:29,732 --> 01:04:32,667
Well, I'd like to, Steve, but I've resigned.
838
01:04:32,735 --> 01:04:36,637
And I'd sooner drop dead
than ask Mark Chapman for my job back.
839
01:04:43,312 --> 01:04:45,803
- You dog!
- It never got past Baxter.
840
01:04:46,883 --> 01:04:48,908
A list of churches in each town
is no problem.
841
01:04:48,985 --> 01:04:52,318
The judges and JPs we can get
from the state legal directory in Hartford.
842
01:04:52,388 --> 01:04:54,720
Yeah, you start packing.
Enough for a couple of weeks.
843
01:04:54,790 --> 01:04:56,451
I'm going to the office
and get the lab boys started
844
01:04:56,525 --> 01:04:57,787
on knocking out a few hundred circulars.
845
01:04:57,860 --> 01:05:00,260
But suppose Chapman says no
to my working with you on it?
846
01:05:00,329 --> 01:05:03,492
Why should he? Anyway, I'm not going
to tell him anything until we're ready to go.
847
01:05:03,566 --> 01:05:04,658
Tonight sometime.
848
01:05:04,734 --> 01:05:08,898
Mom, you think it's safe for me to travel
out of state at night with this young man?
849
01:05:08,971 --> 01:05:12,702
Just so he doesn't misconstrue
the meaning of "freedom of the press."
850
01:05:12,775 --> 01:05:16,336
Hey, you wonderful woman.
I'll check with you for dinner.
851
01:05:21,417 --> 01:05:23,544
Steve, this is shot-in-the-dark stuff.
852
01:05:23,619 --> 01:05:26,452
Mark, more rabbit-brained ideas than this
have paid off.
853
01:05:26,522 --> 01:05:28,956
Your hottest lead is right here in town
where the murders were committed.
854
01:05:29,025 --> 01:05:32,290
Yeah, our hottest lead was in town,
but it dried up like a puddle in July.
855
01:05:32,361 --> 01:05:33,589
You're looking for a mental marvel,
856
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:36,154
a guy who can recognize somebody
he'd seen for 15 or 20 minutes
857
01:05:36,232 --> 01:05:38,757
at a wedding ceremony
he performed 21 years ago.
858
01:05:38,834 --> 01:05:41,394
How do we know he only saw them
for 15 or 20 minutes?
859
01:05:41,470 --> 01:05:44,200
Maybe they were members of his church
or were married by a judge
860
01:05:44,273 --> 01:05:46,298
or a justice in their own town.
861
01:05:46,375 --> 01:05:48,605
Steve, you're off
on a needle-in-a-haystack hunt.
862
01:05:48,678 --> 01:05:51,078
You can find a needle in a haystack
if you look long enough.
863
01:05:51,147 --> 01:05:53,775
You don't think I'm gonna let you
hang around up there indefinitely, do you?
864
01:05:53,849 --> 01:05:55,680
You won't have to. A week, probably.
865
01:05:55,751 --> 01:05:58,982
Julie Allison's coming along to help me.
It's all arranged.
866
01:05:59,055 --> 01:06:02,456
It's all arranged. And that five grand reward.
You arranged that, too?
867
01:06:02,525 --> 01:06:06,586
No, you did, or will.
Mark, what's eating you?
868
01:06:07,096 --> 01:06:09,257
I'm only checking out every possible angle.
869
01:06:09,332 --> 01:06:11,061
Kid, I don't want you to beat your brains out.
870
01:06:11,133 --> 01:06:13,033
We can get just so much
out of this Lonely Hearts story,
871
01:06:13,102 --> 01:06:16,128
and then we'll start easing it off
and let it die a natural death.
872
01:06:16,205 --> 01:06:19,368
Let it die? Mark, we let Charlie Barnes die!
873
01:06:20,509 --> 01:06:22,909
The least we can do now is to find his killer.
874
01:06:23,679 --> 01:06:26,443
You're the guy who pounded into me,
"Never give up till you've got the story."
875
01:06:26,515 --> 01:06:28,449
Well, I'm not quitting on this one
until I've licked it.
876
01:06:28,517 --> 01:06:30,985
You can reach me
at the Lenox Hotel in Hartford.
877
01:06:56,579 --> 01:06:57,978
Long distance.
878
01:06:58,047 --> 01:06:59,844
I want some information.
879
01:06:59,915 --> 01:07:01,906
A telephone number
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
880
01:07:01,984 --> 01:07:05,181
The name is Hacker. He's a judge.
I don't remember his first name.
881
01:07:05,254 --> 01:07:07,222
You wish to place a call to this party?
882
01:07:07,289 --> 01:07:10,383
No, no. Not yet, that is.
I just want to get his telephone number.
883
01:07:10,459 --> 01:07:12,188
<i>One moment, please.</i>
884
01:07:16,799 --> 01:07:20,235
Hello? The Middlebury operator
has no listing for anyone by that name.
885
01:07:21,037 --> 01:07:22,436
There isn't?
886
01:07:23,305 --> 01:07:25,296
Middlebury's a small town.
Will you ask the operator
887
01:07:25,374 --> 01:07:26,966
if she knows anything
about Judge Hacker at all?
888
01:07:27,043 --> 01:07:29,273
Is he deceased, moved away, or what?
889
01:07:29,345 --> 01:07:31,074
<i>One moment, please.</i>
890
01:07:35,518 --> 01:07:38,510
Hello? The local operator
has been in Middlebury for five years
891
01:07:38,587 --> 01:07:40,646
and knows no one
by the name of Judge Hacker.
892
01:07:40,723 --> 01:07:42,384
That's all the information she can give us.
893
01:07:43,959 --> 01:07:45,153
Thanks.
894
01:08:32,908 --> 01:08:35,308
No, Reverend,
I'm afraid that's not our couple.
895
01:08:36,412 --> 01:08:39,040
You may be positive, Reverend,
but you're mistaken.
896
01:08:39,115 --> 01:08:41,515
The woman in the photo we sent you
is dead.
897
01:08:41,584 --> 01:08:43,916
Thank you for calling, Reverend.
898
01:08:46,288 --> 01:08:48,153
You don't have to tell me.
899
01:08:48,224 --> 01:08:50,852
It's written all over
your bright and shining face.
900
01:08:50,926 --> 01:08:53,759
A 190-mile drive
to have a whack-head tell me
901
01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:56,423
that both the people in our circular
died a year ago.
902
01:08:57,766 --> 01:09:01,896
New Englanders remember, all right.
Every face is familiar to them.
903
01:09:04,406 --> 01:09:07,671
Hello? Just a minute, here's Steve.
904
01:09:08,110 --> 01:09:10,340
It's that man again. Every day.
905
01:09:10,412 --> 01:09:13,313
Does he think we'll keep it a big fat secret
if we find something?
906
01:09:15,284 --> 01:09:16,649
Yeah, Mark.
907
01:09:18,487 --> 01:09:20,819
Nothing but an aching back
and some interesting meetings
908
01:09:20,890 --> 01:09:22,824
with jelly-brained screwballs.
909
01:09:22,892 --> 01:09:26,555
You've had enough time, Steve. Ten days.
Admit it's a dud. Come on home.
910
01:09:26,629 --> 01:09:29,325
Two more days, Mark.
We'll stick it out to the end of the week.
911
01:09:29,899 --> 01:09:33,391
Get out of the haystack. It's easier
to find the needles at the scene of the crime.
912
01:09:33,469 --> 01:09:34,936
I'll see you.
913
01:09:35,771 --> 01:09:39,832
Two more days. I don't even know myself
why we're sticking around.
914
01:09:41,043 --> 01:09:42,772
Anything there that sounds good?
915
01:09:44,180 --> 01:09:47,946
I'll read you a fair sample.
From a J.P. Waterbury.
916
01:09:49,084 --> 01:09:52,451
"Send me $5,000
and I will tell you names of people."
917
01:09:52,655 --> 01:09:54,646
A new head I'll send him.
918
01:09:55,658 --> 01:09:58,320
I've got a headache.
I think I'll lie down for a while.
919
01:09:59,728 --> 01:10:01,855
Why don't you lie down here?
920
01:10:07,269 --> 01:10:08,998
I'll go to my room.
921
01:10:15,344 --> 01:10:17,744
McCleary. Okay, put him on.
922
01:10:18,681 --> 01:10:20,808
A guy calling from Franklin.
923
01:10:21,283 --> 01:10:23,308
Hello? Yeah, that's right.
924
01:10:25,955 --> 01:10:27,149
You do, huh?
925
01:10:29,258 --> 01:10:31,590
- You've got what?
- What is it?
926
01:10:31,827 --> 01:10:35,456
- Just a minute.
- I have the other picture right before me!
927
01:10:35,864 --> 01:10:41,131
Yes, I married them July 19th, 1931,
over in Middlebury.
928
01:10:42,438 --> 01:10:44,702
A funny thing. What's that?
929
01:10:48,143 --> 01:10:49,872
Judge Elroy Hacker.
930
01:10:50,379 --> 01:10:52,404
We'll be there in two hours, Judge.
931
01:10:52,481 --> 01:10:54,244
Sit tight
and keep your mouth shut about this.
932
01:10:54,316 --> 01:10:55,374
Bye.
933
01:10:55,584 --> 01:10:59,247
Go on, get packed.
He's liable to drop dead on us or something.
934
01:11:55,110 --> 01:11:58,102
For a man who can sit there
and watch his success increasing daily,
935
01:11:58,180 --> 01:12:00,011
you're looking much too troubled, Mark.
936
01:12:00,082 --> 01:12:03,210
It's just that these minor problems
always seem to require major thinking.
937
01:12:03,285 --> 01:12:06,379
Well, perhaps we can balance
the unpleasant with the pleasant.
938
01:12:06,455 --> 01:12:09,390
That conversation we had the other day
about your buying company stock.
939
01:12:09,458 --> 01:12:10,823
- Yeah?
- I just thought I'd tell you,
940
01:12:10,893 --> 01:12:14,920
- I think we can swing that.
- That's fine, Mr. Madison, just great.
941
01:12:14,997 --> 01:12:17,659
Well, there doesn't seem to be any doubt
you'll reach that bonus figure.
942
01:12:17,733 --> 01:12:19,064
It'll be pleasant having you as a partner,
943
01:12:19,134 --> 01:12:20,863
- so to speak, in the paper, Mark.
- Thanks.
944
01:12:20,936 --> 01:12:22,801
- Good night.
- Good night.
945
01:14:17,953 --> 01:14:19,147
Sorry to keep you this late, Mark,
946
01:14:19,221 --> 01:14:21,621
but we got hit with a mess of traffic
on the way in.
947
01:14:21,690 --> 01:14:23,157
Your wire sounded important.
948
01:14:23,225 --> 01:14:26,456
I found that needle,
or rather the man with the needle.
949
01:14:26,528 --> 01:14:29,725
Judge Elroy Hacker,
Mark Chapman, Managing Editor.
950
01:14:29,865 --> 01:14:32,925
- Glad to meet you, Judge.
- How do, Mr. Chapman?
951
01:14:33,902 --> 01:14:35,893
- Sit down, Judge.
- Thanks.
952
01:14:36,772 --> 01:14:38,672
Does the judge's needle sew anything up?
953
01:14:38,740 --> 01:14:41,231
Everything but knotting the thread
at the end.
954
01:14:41,310 --> 01:14:42,937
I mean the noose.
955
01:14:44,046 --> 01:14:45,240
What have you got?
956
01:14:45,314 --> 01:14:48,511
The identity of Mrs. Lonely Heart
and her husband.
957
01:14:49,117 --> 01:14:51,711
Judge Hacker married them
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
958
01:14:51,787 --> 01:14:54,688
Their names are Charlotte and George Grant.
959
01:14:58,827 --> 01:14:59,953
Did you get that, Mark?
960
01:15:00,028 --> 01:15:03,327
The name of the Lonely Heart Killer
is George Grant.
961
01:15:03,699 --> 01:15:05,530
Yeah, I heard you. Go on.
962
01:15:05,601 --> 01:15:08,229
Strike two. The judge is sure
he can identify George Grant
963
01:15:08,303 --> 01:15:10,203
when he sees him again.
964
01:15:10,806 --> 01:15:13,969
You see, I took this picture myself.
965
01:15:14,710 --> 01:15:17,338
A little extra service
the judge gave his bridal couples.
966
01:15:17,412 --> 01:15:20,711
Yes. I'd send them a print
and put one in my own scrapbook.
967
01:15:20,782 --> 01:15:22,579
The judge even furnished
the "just married" sign.
968
01:15:22,651 --> 01:15:24,118
Judge, you said
you married them in Middlebury,
969
01:15:24,186 --> 01:15:27,883
- but Steve found you in Franklin.
- I retired seven years ago.
970
01:15:27,956 --> 01:15:31,323
I'm partial to fishing,
so I moved over on the coast.
971
01:15:32,027 --> 01:15:34,928
I only happened
to see your circular by chance,
972
01:15:34,997 --> 01:15:37,830
in the office of a justice friend of mine.
973
01:15:40,602 --> 01:15:43,571
I always said you were born
in a field of shamrocks.
974
01:15:43,639 --> 01:15:47,769
Sure. The McClearys raised their kids
on nothing but rabbits' feet.
975
01:15:48,410 --> 01:15:52,471
Judge, what makes you so sure
you can identify George Grant today?
976
01:15:54,383 --> 01:15:57,250
Well, mainly because right after
I took that wedding picture,
977
01:15:57,319 --> 01:16:00,482
this Grant got vexed at his wife
about something.
978
01:16:01,590 --> 01:16:05,651
I can remember his voice, snapping at her.
His face getting red...
979
01:16:07,696 --> 01:16:11,598
I know what's in your bonnet, Mark.
We still have to find George Grant.
980
01:16:11,667 --> 01:16:14,363
A needle's nothing but a hunk of steel
if you've got nothing to sew.
981
01:16:14,436 --> 01:16:15,801
We just need the thread.
982
01:16:15,871 --> 01:16:18,203
I figure we'll pick that up
right here in New York.
983
01:16:18,273 --> 01:16:21,367
When the police line up all the local
George Grants for the judge to look over.
984
01:16:23,745 --> 01:16:27,416
That's Julie. I dropped her off
at headquarters to tell Davis what we've got.
985
01:16:29,251 --> 01:16:32,618
Friend Davis is steaming
like a pressure cooker, as I said he would.
986
01:16:32,688 --> 01:16:33,746
He'll simmer down.
987
01:16:33,822 --> 01:16:36,484
So will your
lining up the George Grants idea.
988
01:16:36,558 --> 01:16:40,255
Davis says he'll do nothing until you turn
Judge Hacker over to the police.
989
01:16:40,329 --> 01:16:42,763
- Steve, you can't hold...
- Relax, doll. He'll see the judge later.
990
01:16:42,831 --> 01:16:44,924
Not tonight he won't.
The judge is our exclusive beat.
991
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,230
Nobody gets to him
till our story breaks tomorrow.
992
01:16:47,302 --> 01:16:49,031
I don't trust cops.
993
01:16:51,607 --> 01:16:52,904
You and Julie start writing the story.
994
01:16:52,975 --> 01:16:56,308
I'll put the judge in a side-street hotel
where nobody will get to him.
995
01:16:56,378 --> 01:16:57,902
Come on, Judge.
996
01:17:01,316 --> 01:17:03,648
I'll just wait for Mr. McCleary.
997
01:17:04,987 --> 01:17:06,921
He was going to put me up at his place.
998
01:17:06,989 --> 01:17:08,581
That's the first place
the wolves will start baying.
999
01:17:08,657 --> 01:17:10,921
You better come with me, Judge.
1000
01:17:10,993 --> 01:17:15,157
No, I don't think it would be wise
for me to go with you, Mr. Grant.
1001
01:17:15,731 --> 01:17:18,325
- Mister...
- Chapman, Judge. Not Grant.
1002
01:17:18,734 --> 01:17:21,294
You'd better give your brain a rest.
You're gonna need it.
1003
01:17:21,370 --> 01:17:22,735
He may be Chapman now,
1004
01:17:22,804 --> 01:17:27,104
but 21 years ago, when I married them,
he was George Grant.
1005
01:17:27,509 --> 01:17:29,534
And he was a newspaperman.
1006
01:17:30,379 --> 01:17:34,145
I remember now. He said he worked
on the paper over in Waterford.
1007
01:17:34,216 --> 01:17:37,549
Waterford, Connecticut, was that town
I couldn't think of.
1008
01:17:37,619 --> 01:17:40,110
But I knew I'd remember that voice.
1009
01:17:40,422 --> 01:17:44,586
His face... You've changed.
But it's the same man.
1010
01:17:45,060 --> 01:17:48,086
You remember that $5,000 reward, though,
don't you, Judge?
1011
01:17:48,163 --> 01:17:51,428
Judge. This is impossible.
You're getting confused.
1012
01:17:51,633 --> 01:17:54,864
He sounds to me as though
he knows exactly what he's saying.
1013
01:17:54,936 --> 01:17:57,837
This is idiotic!
Screwball, crackbrained lunacy!
1014
01:17:57,906 --> 01:18:01,364
And that's just the kind of a witness
the judge is going to make, too, Steve.
1015
01:18:01,443 --> 01:18:03,240
The police have that specimen
of hair and flesh
1016
01:18:03,311 --> 01:18:05,905
found under Mrs. Grant's fingernails.
1017
01:18:06,348 --> 01:18:09,283
I think we'd better get in touch with Davis.
1018
01:18:09,551 --> 01:18:11,212
No phone, Allison.
1019
01:18:21,797 --> 01:18:26,359
Julie pegged you right off.
But me, still wet behind the ears McCleary.
1020
01:18:27,235 --> 01:18:29,328
I went for the sleigh ride.
1021
01:18:29,971 --> 01:18:35,409
I practically built the pedestal for Chapman.
The great newspaperman. The great guy.
1022
01:18:36,778 --> 01:18:41,545
There ought to be a special Pulitzer Prize
for the world's biggest sucker, McCleary.
1023
01:18:41,616 --> 01:18:44,141
Just another one of your stupid slobs!
1024
01:18:44,219 --> 01:18:45,948
Things happen, Steve,
and then there's just no end.
1025
01:18:46,021 --> 01:18:47,921
Killing my wife was an accident.
1026
01:18:47,989 --> 01:18:51,823
And Charlie. Charlie Barnes,
who never hurt a fly in his life.
1027
01:18:52,294 --> 01:18:54,057
A washed-up drunken rummy
who had nothing to live for
1028
01:18:54,129 --> 01:18:55,790
against a career
that was just reaching its prime.
1029
01:18:55,864 --> 01:18:59,322
- It wasn't an even exchange.
- You've got a great career ahead of you now.
1030
01:18:59,401 --> 01:19:02,302
That's all down the drain.
I gotta to make different plans now.
1031
01:19:02,370 --> 01:19:04,736
You should have started running
when you got my wire, sucker!
1032
01:19:04,806 --> 01:19:06,501
I gambled.
The stakes are big enough, you don't run
1033
01:19:06,575 --> 01:19:10,443
unless there's nothing else left to do.
Don't try it, kid.
1034
01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:30,190
Steve!
1035
01:19:50,986 --> 01:19:53,011
We're just too close, kid.
1036
01:19:57,292 --> 01:20:02,059
I figured I'd find you birds here.
Still playing me for a pushover, aren't you?
1037
01:20:04,032 --> 01:20:06,227
Steve, you remember how I told you
1038
01:20:06,301 --> 01:20:09,464
that someday you'd run into
a really great story?
1039
01:20:09,905 --> 01:20:11,736
Well, this one ought to do it, huh?
1040
01:20:12,474 --> 01:20:14,374
Yeah, this one will do.
1041
01:20:14,976 --> 01:20:16,603
I'll give you the lead on it.
1042
01:20:17,846 --> 01:20:18,972
"The elusive Lonely Heart Killer,
1043
01:20:19,047 --> 01:20:20,708

1049
01:20:37,766 --> 01:20:42,601

- All right, drop it, Chapman.

Mark Chapman, editor of the New York Express, has made the newspaper a success by pursuing sensationalism and yellow journalism. His protégé is ace reporter Steve McCleary, while successful feature writer Julie Allison is frustrated by the paper's drift towards raking the muck. One night, during a lonely hearts dance organized by the Express, Chapman's estranged wife confronts him and demands that he visit her hotel room. It is revealed that Chapman's real name is George Grant, and he abandoned his wife decades earlier, changing his identity. When Chapman rebuffs her efforts toward reconciliation, she threatens to publicize his real identity. Chapman tries to restrain her, accidentally killing her in the scuffle.
Chapman attempts to cover up his crime, posing the scene to look like an accident. The police initially believe she slipped in the bathtub, but McCleary begins covering the case, and his reporting reveals it was a murder. McCleary is eager to run the story, and Chapman must acquiesce to avoid suspicion. The "mystery" murderer is dubbed the "Lonely Hearts Killer." Charlie Barnes, an alcoholic former star reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner, stumbles upon the dead woman's suitcase, in which he finds wedding photographs showing Chapman (then Grant) and his wife. He realizes that Chapman must be the killer. Barnes contacts Allison, who has been kind to him, attempting to give her the scoop, but Chapman overhears the conversation. He intercepts and kills Barnes before he can reveal the truth to a rival publication. This act only increases public interest in the story of the Lonely Hearts Killer, much to Chapman's frustration.
Assisted by Allison, McCleary continues to track down clues and leads. Eventually he locates another photo from Chapman/Grant's wedding, although the groom is shot in profile and it is not obvious that it is Chapman. McCleary and Allison travel to Connecticut to find the judge who married the murdered woman and the man in the photograph. After a week of searching, they identify the judge who conducted the marriage. They bring him back to the newspaper building, where he identifies Chapman as the groom and thus the Lonely Hearts Killer. McCleary is incredulous, but Allison puts the pieces together and the desperate Chapman pulls a gun on them. The police arrive, and Chapman cannot bring himself to shoot McCleary. Instead, he gives McCleary his blessing to publish all details of his crimes and then commits suicide by cop.

1
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,468
I know how you feel, lady.
2
00:01:52,545 --> 00:01:54,445
Just take your time
and tell me what happened.
3
00:01:54,514 --> 00:01:57,915
He had this meat ax, her blood all over it.
4
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:03,187
My brother-in-law had it.
Blood all over his hands, all over his shirt.
5
00:02:03,389 --> 00:02:05,687
I can't talk about it, Officer.
6
00:02:05,859 --> 00:02:08,851
I know it's rough, lady,
but I have to have the facts.
7
00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:14,298
He comes staggering out in the hall.
He says, "I did it. Call the cops."
8
00:02:15,101 --> 00:02:16,125
And then he...
9
00:02:16,202 --> 00:02:19,467
Snap it up, Captain.
Lieutenant Davis just blew in.
10
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,303
What's he going to do, Officer?
11
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:25,003
- I'm not a cop, lady.
- But you said...
12
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:27,610
All I said was,
"I had to ask you some questions."
13
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,079
I'm from the <i>Express.</i>
14
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:33,984
You made me go through all that.
Why, you're not decent! You're not human!
15
00:02:34,754 --> 00:02:38,121
- Sorry, lady. All part of the job.
- Well, well, Lieutenant Davis.
16
00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:42,252
- Say, this must have been a homicide.
- Hi, Lieutenant. Wait till you hear it.
17
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:45,092
- A messy one.
- You keep pulling stuff like this, McCleary,
18
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:50,193
and so help me, if it's the last thing I do,
I'll run you in! Now, that's a warning!
19
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:18,591
This is KL-75263. Get me Plaza-52099.
20
00:03:19,532 --> 00:03:24,401
You know, that wasn't a bad-Iooking dame.
Too bad the guy used an ax on her head.
21
00:03:25,271 --> 00:03:27,796
Spoiled some pretty pictures for me.
22
00:03:28,908 --> 00:03:31,877
Hey, Mark, have you put on the gloves
with those stockholders yet?
23
00:03:32,178 --> 00:03:34,203
Hi. No, I'm just taping up my hands.
24
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,976
<i>Well, you can tell them we got</i>
<i>another neat and gory one coming up.</i>
25
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:39,177
<i>Hatchet murder. Lower East Side tenement.</i>
26
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:41,652
<i>Wrapped up an exclusive interview</i>
<i>with an eyewitness.</i>
27
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:43,211
You got plenty of art?
28
00:03:43,289 --> 00:03:45,052
Yeah. Biddle grabbed all he could
of the body.
29
00:03:45,124 --> 00:03:49,185
A dame, very messy.
Got a great hysterical close-up of her sister.
30
00:03:49,529 --> 00:03:52,828
I'll even write the caption for you.
"I seen him with a bloody meat ax."
31
00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:54,592
Good. With that, I can sell papers.
32
00:03:54,667 --> 00:03:57,295
Give it to rewrite and we'll get it in the final.
Hold on. What do you want?
33
00:03:57,370 --> 00:04:00,237
Mr. Madison called down
from the boardroom again, Mr. Chapman.
34
00:04:00,306 --> 00:04:02,831
You hear that?
I'm letting them stew in their financial juices.
35
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:05,067
Well, don't overdo it. I like this job.
36
00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:08,273
You've never gone backwards
with me before, have you, kid?
37
00:04:08,348 --> 00:04:13,217
If we leave here, we'll bounce into
a bigger setup. I'll see you when you get in.
38
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:21,417
As one of the largest stockholders
in this corporation,
39
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:24,463
I would like to know
why the <i>New York Express,</i>
40
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:27,465
once a distinguished
and respected newspaper,
41
00:04:29,869 --> 00:04:33,600
has been allowed to become
a cheap and depraved publication.
42
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:38,835
Why has an editor been allowed
to turn a decent journal into this?
43
00:04:39,679 --> 00:04:41,613
A disgusting tabloid!
44
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,749
Pandering to the passions
of the base morons!
45
00:04:45,151 --> 00:04:47,847
I demand an explanation, Frank Madison.
46
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:54,750
Well, Mrs. Rawley, I...
In defense of Mark Chapman, I...
47
00:04:54,827 --> 00:04:58,263
Mr. Madison, I'd like to handle
my own defense, if you don't mind.
48
00:04:58,331 --> 00:04:59,855
Just as you say, Mark.
49
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:05,428
Mrs. Rawley, I think you
and the other stockholders should know
50
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:07,496
that your publisher hired me
as executive editor
51
00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:09,837
with full rights to transform this newspaper.
52
00:05:10,677 --> 00:05:14,443
He did this for a very simple reason.
He was fed up with operating at a loss.
53
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:18,611
Why did Mr. Madison hire me?
Well, he felt it was time that the <i>Express</i>
54
00:05:18,685 --> 00:05:21,745
buried its antiquated negative approach,
such as this.
55
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:25,756
But who won?
56
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:29,920
And become a positive newspaper.
We're in a business, ladies and gentlemen,
57
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:34,695
a business of satisfying the hunger
of the public for thrills, escape and news.
58
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:39,271
Here's where I took over
your highly respectable white elephant.
59
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:42,172
Instead of headlining a UN story,
we gave them a vice story.
60
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:44,368
Obviously, they went for it.
61
00:05:44,544 --> 00:05:46,239
We played down
the presidential appointments
62
00:05:46,312 --> 00:05:48,644
and concentrated
on the "Gorilla Man" killings.
63
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:51,576
Here's what happened.
Thirty or forty thousand new readers.
64
00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:54,245
Why, in a year, circulation's up over 110%.
65
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,686
And when we reach 750,000,
66
00:05:56,756 --> 00:06:00,886
we'll have to pay you a big bonus.
I'm not sure I like this at all.
67
00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:02,761
Did you like the dividend check
you got last month
68
00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:04,194
for the first time in 12 years?
69
00:06:04,263 --> 00:06:07,323
I don't like this, sir.
What kind of journalism is this?
70
00:06:07,967 --> 00:06:10,026
A newspaper
staging a cheap, vulgar display
71
00:06:10,103 --> 00:06:13,266
in order to attract
the stupid slobs of the city!
72
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,865
The thousands who will attend
the Lonely Heart dance tonight,
73
00:06:15,942 --> 00:06:18,467
these poor, friendly, unhappy people
whom you call stupid slobs,
74
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:20,569
buy and read this newspaper.
75
00:06:20,646 --> 00:06:22,944
Their loyalty helped put that dividend check
in your pocket.
76
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:26,712
And I suppose you think it's a public service
when one of your reporters is arrested
77
00:06:26,786 --> 00:06:30,745
for withholding information from the police?
Or whatever it was.
78
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:34,150
This, what's his name, McCleary person,
79
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,352
and the things he writes about!
I think he should be fired!
80
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:39,295
This McCleary person
is the best young reporter I've seen
81
00:06:39,365 --> 00:06:41,060
in 25 years of newspapering.
82
00:06:41,134 --> 00:06:43,193
Before I'll fire him,
I'll throw the <i>Express</i> up for grabs
83
00:06:43,269 --> 00:06:45,669
and go to work for somebody
who appreciates real talent on a paper!
84
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:47,262
- Mark, I'm sure...
- One last thing.
85
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:50,798
The only contract I have here is a handshake
between Mr. Madison and myself.
86
00:06:50,877 --> 00:06:53,141
Now, unless you give me full rights
to run this paper the way I want,
87
00:06:53,212 --> 00:06:55,271
I'll quit after the final edition today.
88
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:58,784
Now, I'm sorry I can't stay with you
any longer. I have a newspaper to get out!
89
00:07:06,092 --> 00:07:10,426
- Your story ready, Miss Allison?
- I'll have the rest in a minute, Joey.
90
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:13,831
Mr. Chapman?
91
00:07:16,502 --> 00:07:17,696
Thanks.
92
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:26,937
McCleary story in yet, Bax?
93
00:07:32,485 --> 00:07:34,885
How'd you make out in the torture chamber?
94
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:40,450
This is good. Give it a big play.
Mac'll do a byline follow-up tomorrow.
95
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:43,825
- What are these?
- Pics for that Lonely Heart spread.
96
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:45,820
- Junk them.
- But I...
97
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:47,092
Take Peters off the Lonely Hearts.
98
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:48,997
He's photographing these slobs
like a lineup in a soup kitchen
99
00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:50,660
instead of panting for a red-hot romance.
100
00:07:50,736 --> 00:07:52,533
- Okay. But I...
- Yeah?
101
00:07:52,939 --> 00:07:54,566
Yes, Mr. Madison.
102
00:07:58,211 --> 00:08:00,611
- Get an ax, smear it with blood.
- Yeah? Whose?
103
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,171
Yours. If you can't spare any,
use chocolate syrup or something.
104
00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:07,652
Chocolate? Goody! When I'm through,
I can make a plate of fudge. Drop in.
105
00:08:08,721 --> 00:08:12,157
So, you still insist a woman having 20 kids
is worth a feature article?
106
00:08:12,225 --> 00:08:15,422
Hi, genius.
I think it's worth a whole front page.
107
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:18,391
It scares me, this maternal instinct of yours.
108
00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:20,955
Decided where you're taking me
to dinner tonight?
109
00:08:23,736 --> 00:08:25,966
If Chapman hasn't been canned,
110
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,169
you're going to dine with the worst loser
who ever paid off a bet.
111
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:31,608
Then you'd better stash some
bicarbonate soda in your bag, princess.
112
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:32,837
You're gonna need it.
113
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:35,437
Don't count your steaks
before you hear the sizzle.
114
00:08:37,617 --> 00:08:39,608
Well, what's the word? Are you ex or still?
115
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,880
They're not dumb enough
to throw out a winner.
116
00:08:41,954 --> 00:08:44,650
Congratulations. I knew you'd stick
their stocks right back in their teeth.
117
00:08:44,724 --> 00:08:46,555
I told them if they fired me,
McCleary would quit, too,
118
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:49,060
and then they'd be in real trouble.
119
00:08:49,128 --> 00:08:50,527
I wouldn't put it past them
to try and dump you
120
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:53,929
to get out of paying the bonus that's
staring them right in their glassy eyes.
121
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,331
I've got news for you.
122
00:08:55,401 --> 00:08:57,528
I'm going to cut you in
for a piece of that bonus.
123
00:08:57,603 --> 00:08:59,298
What do you want me to do, retire?
124
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:00,566
I thought we could make a deal with Madison
125
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,698
to buy some of the company's stock.
126
00:09:01,774 --> 00:09:03,901
You know, kid,
we could end up owning this newspaper.
127
00:09:03,976 --> 00:09:06,536
- Well, that's the best offer I've had all week.
- I'll make you another one.
128
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:09,080
I'll take you to dinner tonight.
You pick the spot.
129
00:09:10,349 --> 00:09:14,012
I'll make you a better offer.
My date's buying. She lost a bet.
130
00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:17,544
The Grand Duchess from Vassar again?
The way I feel, I can put up with anything.
131
00:09:17,623 --> 00:09:19,818
- I'm more worried, can she put up with you?
- Get her ready.
132
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:24,124
We've got to be at the ballroom at 8:00.
There's no time for nose powder.
133
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:32,597
Don't break your ears with that grin.
I can see. He's still in.
134
00:09:33,005 --> 00:09:36,532
- No loud whoops of joy, baby?
- Well, I tried everything.
135
00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:39,770
I crossed my fingers,
said prayers, burned candles.
136
00:09:39,845 --> 00:09:43,713
- Who's your tailor, princess?
- Let's get out of here.
137
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,075
I've had to look at that Chapman face all day.
138
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:50,714
I've got to cover his fiasco tonight
and suffer some more.
139
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:53,987
At least just looking at you for an hour
will be a welcome change.
140
00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:57,496
- Lf you're taking me to dinner, let's go.
- Taking him?
141
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,195
Wait a minute.
Our bet was between you and me.
142
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:03,463
Our bet was loser buys dinner.
We didn't say for how many.
143
00:10:03,536 --> 00:10:06,994
- Why, you double-crossing...
- I knew you'd be a good loser.
144
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:10,807
Someday remind me to tell you about girls.
145
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:20,248
You talk a couple of these suckers
into getting married.
146
00:10:20,319 --> 00:10:21,581
These Lonely Heart slobs got the gimmies,
147
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:23,519
and we've got plenty to give them
from the advertisers.
148
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:25,284
If you talk one couple
into getting married by 9:00,
149
00:10:25,358 --> 00:10:27,883
by 12:00 we'll have a dozen lined up
for wedded bliss.
150
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,155
- McCleary, the Brooklyn cupid.
- McCleary, the human yes man.
151
00:10:30,229 --> 00:10:31,594
Hey, Julie!
152
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:34,155
- Hello, Charlie.
- Charlie.
153
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:38,225
- How are you, Barnes?
- Fine, Mark. You're looking fit. McCleary.
154
00:10:38,571 --> 00:10:39,595
Thank you.
155
00:10:39,672 --> 00:10:41,799
What goes on? Are you ghosting
Allison's features, Charlie?
156
00:10:41,874 --> 00:10:43,774
No, he's helping me with research
for that series
157
00:10:43,843 --> 00:10:45,640
on historical monuments in New York.
158
00:10:45,711 --> 00:10:47,872
You couldn't pick a better man.
I ought to know.
159
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:50,006
Remember those old days, Mark?
160
00:10:50,082 --> 00:10:53,813
Like the time I cut the phone cables
at the Lindbergh trial?
161
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:55,520
You scooped me. Almost cost me my job.
162
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:59,957
Scooped you, the wire services,
scooped everybody. That was the year...
163
00:11:00,026 --> 00:11:02,358
That was the year you won the Pulitzer Prize.
164
00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:06,826
Listen, Mark.
This stuff I've been doing for Julie, it's...
165
00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:13,200
- Mark, I think I'm ready to go back to work.
- That's fine. I'm glad to hear it, Charlie.
166
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,164
How about it, Mark? How about a job?
167
00:11:19,645 --> 00:11:21,510
- Why not?
- Thanks.
168
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:25,447
- Charlie, I'm so proud of you!
- This is gonna take a little juggling.
169
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:26,849
I won't be able to do anything right away.
170
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:28,978
Look, Charlie, I'll call you.
We're late, we gotta rush.
171
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:31,785
Sure, Mark, I know how it is,
always on the go.
172
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:35,258
- Coffee in the morning? Skinners?
- Sure thing, Julie.
173
00:11:40,199 --> 00:11:41,257
All the time I thought you were a...
174
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:43,699
- How much did you give him?
- $10. He earned it.
175
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:44,929
Ten bucks?
176
00:11:45,004 --> 00:11:47,336
- Buy a lot of whiskey.
- Did you see that rum-dumb?
177
00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:49,806
- Come midnight, he'll be in the gutter.
- Now, wait a minute.
178
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:51,274
He's an alky, Julie.
You shouldn't give an alky
179
00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:52,367
more than a buck at a time.
180
00:11:52,445 --> 00:11:55,414
You're liable to kill him.
Ten bucks, he can take a bath in it.
181
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:58,314
But... Well, this job
will change everything for him.
182
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:01,319
Job? I wouldn't have him in my office,
let alone on my staff.
183
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:04,117
In you go, sucker. Where are you going?
184
00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:07,085
I'm not going to let him go off believing this.
185
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:10,617
- Do you want to break his heart?
- Do I? What do you think you're doing?
186
00:12:10,696 --> 00:12:13,358
I'm giving him hopes and dreams.
A rummy like that lives on dreams.
187
00:12:13,432 --> 00:12:17,061
- He's happy. Why spoil it?
- Happy? Happy like your Lonely Hearts,
188
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,798
looking forward to those big romances
they've been promised?
189
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:23,069
- Only Charlie's romance is with a bottle.
- Get in.
190
00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:48,057
Biddle, don't leave that camera at half mast.
Stop goldbricking on the other guys.
191
00:12:48,134 --> 00:12:52,127
I must have got 100 shots already,
Mr. Chapman. My arm's giving out.
192
00:12:52,204 --> 00:12:56,334
You've only started. I want shots of people
from every state. Now start shooting.
193
00:12:58,911 --> 00:13:01,038
How are you doing, princess?
194
00:13:01,147 --> 00:13:04,116
Well, it's an effort,
but I'm trying to keep from screaming.
195
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:06,981
You were a real bundle of laughs
during dinner, too.
196
00:13:07,052 --> 00:13:08,781
Why don't you simmer down now?
197
00:13:08,854 --> 00:13:10,515
You're not so pretty
when your feathers are all ruffled.
198
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:13,183
Don't, Steve. I'm in no mood for levity.
199
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:17,491
- Do you feel like dancing?
- Do you figure that'll smooth my feathers?
200
00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:21,691
I've got a great idea for you. Grab yourself
one of these Lonely Heart boys.
201
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:25,066
Tell him you're a club date. Con him.
Get his life history.
202
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:28,903
- And there's your feature for tomorrow.
- Mark Chapman, Junior.
203
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:31,568
It'll sell papers, you left that out.
204
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:34,871
Happy hunting, cupid.
Mustn't let the boss down.
205
00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:38,312
Save at least one dance for me, princess.
206
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:58,034
Every time I aim my lens
at one of these walking zombies,
207
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:01,334
I think of the time
I covered the Miss America contest.
208
00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:03,705
The tears almost start to flow.
209
00:14:06,378 --> 00:14:09,370
From McCleary, you get nothing but service.
Ten minutes before 9:00,
210
00:14:09,448 --> 00:14:13,179
and couple number one. Mary and Joe
met in front of the Arkansas booth.
211
00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:16,221
It was love at first sight, almost. Right?
212
00:14:16,288 --> 00:14:20,349
Well, sure. I'm from Texas,
but I sure love that Arkansas cooking.
213
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,890
- You love her, don't you?
- Well, sure, I reckon so.
214
00:14:23,963 --> 00:14:26,158
- Mary, you love him?
- Yes.
215
00:14:26,966 --> 00:14:31,130
- See, they're crazy about each other.
- Yeah, that's fine. Hey, Edwards.
216
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:33,535
We've got a romance going here.
They're ready for the orange blossoms.
217
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,837
- Well, how do you do? And congratulations.
- Save the teeth for the bandstand.
218
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:38,171
Get up there
and make the big announcement.
219
00:14:38,244 --> 00:14:42,044
Yes, sir, Mr. Chapman.
Come with me, you lucky, lucky people.
220
00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:46,842
Hey, you ain't gonna forget about the bed
with the built-in television set?
221
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:48,614
You'll spend your honeymoon in front of it.
222
00:14:51,624 --> 00:14:55,321
- Nice going, Steve, keep punching.
- I'll get the camera boys up to cover it.
223
00:14:57,129 --> 00:15:01,862
- Did you find a feature to write about yet?
- I haven't, and I don't intend to.
224
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:05,435
This bribing of poor, ignorant dopes
into a public wedding
225
00:15:05,504 --> 00:15:07,665
is cheap, cruel and disgusting.
226
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:10,573
This whole Wild West show is ridiculous,
and I want no part of it.
227
00:15:10,643 --> 00:15:13,305
Miss Allison,
your contract has six months to run.
228
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:17,281
My contract was made with Mr. Madison
before you took over the <i>Express.</i>
229
00:15:17,349 --> 00:15:18,543
If you don't like the way I run the paper,
230
00:15:18,617 --> 00:15:21,245
I have an agreement
that might be satisfactory to both of us.
231
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,811
Take six months' vacation with pay!
232
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:30,286
No, thank you, Mr. Chapman. I'll work it out.
I like my feature writing.
233
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,898
Thinking people like it, too,
234
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:37,561
even though there aren't many of them
buying the <i>Express</i> anymore. Good night!
235
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:43,605
That's it.
236
00:15:50,382 --> 00:15:53,613
<i>Friends, brothers and sisters</i>
<i>in the Lonely Hearts Club.</i>
237
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:55,677
<i>I have wonderful news for you,</i>
238
00:15:55,754 --> 00:15:59,747
<i>living proof that this magnificent club</i>
<i>is more than just a name.</i>
239
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:04,386
<i>But first, how would you like to meet</i>
<i>the great man who created your club?</i>
240
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:11,998
<i>Mr. Mark Chapman,</i>
<i>editor of the</i> New York Express.
241
00:16:12,071 --> 00:16:14,665
<i>Put the spotlight on him, over there!</i>
242
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,782
<i>Now here's the wonderful news.</i>
243
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:37,056
<i>Meet Mary and Joe, two happy people</i>
<i>who came here tonight as total strangers.</i>
244
00:16:37,463 --> 00:16:42,400
<i>They met, they danced, they found love.</i>
<i>They're going to get married!</i>
245
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,474
George?
246
00:16:57,516 --> 00:17:00,041
<i>- As the first couple who fell in love tonight...</i>
- George Grant!
247
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:01,814
<i>...Mary and Joe will receive...</i>
- It is you!
248
00:17:01,887 --> 00:17:03,752
<i>...compliments of the</i> Express...
- Charlotte.
249
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:05,119
<i>... a wedding night in a New York hotel...</i>
250
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:08,921
Finding you here...
I was so sure that you must be dead.
251
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:11,759
George Grant is dead.
252
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:14,259
Yes, I just heard.
253
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,134
- You're the...
- We can't talk here.
254
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:19,901
We can talk at my place, George.
255
00:17:20,806 --> 00:17:23,036
We've got a lot to talk about.
256
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:26,509
Go on out. I'll meet you at the side entrance.
257
00:17:32,785 --> 00:17:35,151
The years have been kinder to you.
258
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:38,621
What is it, 19, 20?
I used to keep track, but I don't...
259
00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:41,716
What's the difference?
Now that you found me, what do you want?
260
00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:57,401
May I?
261
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:07,375
- Come on, quit stalling around.
- What was it they called you at the ball?
262
00:18:07,453 --> 00:18:08,977
- Mark?
- Chapman.
263
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:15,755
When did you change your name, George?
Right after you left me?
264
00:18:17,062 --> 00:18:18,962
So I wouldn't find you?
265
00:18:19,631 --> 00:18:21,292
You knew I was so crazy about you
266
00:18:21,366 --> 00:18:24,028
I'd look and look and look,
didn't you, George?
267
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,697
Come on, get to it. What do you want?
268
00:18:27,739 --> 00:18:32,574
You're still in a hurry, aren't you?
That's the thing I remember best about you.
269
00:18:32,878 --> 00:18:37,645
The fellow who always ran and never walked.
Had to get places fast!
270
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,749
And you got places, didn't you, George?
271
00:18:44,323 --> 00:18:46,883
Here, you need some money?
Here's some for now.
272
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,860
Money? The payoff, George?
273
00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:54,497
How much? How much for each year?
274
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:58,633
How much for the agony
and the heartbreak and the fear?
275
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:03,141
- Charlotte, cut the ham act.
- This could be for the doctor bill, see?
276
00:19:06,578 --> 00:19:10,173
I was 20 years younger then,
took things more seriously.
277
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:14,142
I can't imagine how much.
278
00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:18,087
You're boring me now, like you always did.
279
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:20,388
People always bored you
280
00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:23,155
when you didn't have
any more use for them, didn't they, George?
281
00:19:23,228 --> 00:19:25,025
Bores and nuisances, I get rid of them.
282
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:27,497
Yeah, the same gentle way
you got rid of me.
283
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:28,692
My lawyer will get in touch with you.
284
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:31,702
He'll arrange a quiet divorce
and generous alimony.
285
00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:34,671
You're an important man now,
aren't you, George?
286
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:37,038
Editor of the <i>New York Express.</i>
287
00:19:38,977 --> 00:19:43,346
I never thought I'd be the wife of the editor
of a big New York newspaper.
288
00:19:43,415 --> 00:19:47,112
You're not, and don't get any ideas
about forcing yourself.
289
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:51,020
You've got nothing to gain by refusing me
a divorce now like you did 20 years ago.
290
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:56,759
I was young then and so foolishly in love.
I wanted so much to hold onto you.
291
00:19:57,496 --> 00:20:00,021
I made all of my mistakes when I was young,
and you were the biggest one.
292
00:20:00,098 --> 00:20:02,794
I fell for an attractive hunk of flesh.
293
00:20:04,169 --> 00:20:07,627
"Hold me." You didn't try to hang on.
You strangled me.
294
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,936
I'd smother to death with you.
295
00:20:15,747 --> 00:20:19,808
Turnabout's fair play.
When you walked out on me, I died inside.
296
00:20:20,352 --> 00:20:23,116
When I walk out of here, you're gonna die.
297
00:20:23,188 --> 00:20:27,852
Everything you worked for, grabbed for,
ruined people to get, it's all gonna die!
298
00:20:27,926 --> 00:20:29,393
You're a neurotic screwball!
299
00:20:29,461 --> 00:20:33,955
I'm gonna spread your story all over town.
Mark Chapman, the great editor!
300
00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:37,829
Wife deserter!
Living under a false name for 20 years.
301
00:20:39,137 --> 00:20:42,334
What else did you cover up
living under a phony name?
302
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:44,637
Your publishers are gonna love this.
303
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:49,044
And the other papers, they'll cut you
to ribbons with this information!
304
00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,470
Hi, honey, let me have the city room.
305
00:23:33,812 --> 00:23:37,179
This is Elkins.
If you need me, I'm over in Skinners.
306
00:23:38,316 --> 00:23:41,808
What? Having breakfast. Yeah, breakfast.
307
00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:53,323
Yes, Julie, after that fortunate
and historical meeting with Mark yesterday,
308
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:57,629
I had considerable difficulty
wooing the fickle Morpheus.
309
00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:01,939
That explains it.
Those bleeding eyes today.
310
00:24:02,474 --> 00:24:05,341
Well, I did have a couple
with the boys down below.
311
00:24:05,410 --> 00:24:08,277
A sort of celebration, and then farewell.
312
00:24:11,049 --> 00:24:13,574
You should have left them long ago, Charlie.
313
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:15,916
Any man who was big enough
in his day to rate that,
314
00:24:16,555 --> 00:24:20,389
a place in Skinner's Hall of Fame,
is still too big for Dead-End Street.
315
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:25,028
No regrets, Julie. My temporary alliance
with the denizens of the Bowery
316
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:29,863
has provided me with a deeper insight
into the whys and wherefores of mankind.
317
00:24:35,674 --> 00:24:38,006
A proven medical fact,
when the human system
318
00:24:38,076 --> 00:24:40,840
has been lengthily nurtured
on alcoholic stimulants,
319
00:24:40,912 --> 00:24:44,871
any abrupt cessation of same
will result in a negative reaction.
320
00:24:45,016 --> 00:24:46,381
Absolutely.
321
00:24:47,652 --> 00:24:52,385
But I'm tapering off. I'll be a firmly-rooted
passenger on the old water wagon
322
00:24:52,524 --> 00:24:54,856
by the time Mark's ready for me.
323
00:24:57,295 --> 00:25:01,561
Charlie, don't bet everything
on Mark Chapman.
324
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:06,666
He won't let me down.
First time I felt ready, I asked him for a job,
325
00:25:06,938 --> 00:25:10,032
and what happened?
He offered me one, didn't he?
326
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:15,173
- Mr. Lonely Heart.
- Compliments of the <i>Express,</i> Myrtle.
327
00:25:15,747 --> 00:25:18,545
- I see you read. You stick with the radio.
- Yeah.
328
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:20,744
Hey, McCleary,
I read that rag of yours by accident.
329
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:23,287
Yeah, me, too.
From ax murder to Ionely hearts.
330
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:25,653
What are you trying to prove,
you're versatile or something?
331
00:25:25,724 --> 00:25:27,885
What are you gentlemen
reading our rag for?
332
00:25:27,959 --> 00:25:30,427
Trying to find out
what's happening that's news?
333
00:25:30,495 --> 00:25:32,929
Good morning, kiddies. What's the word?
334
00:25:35,066 --> 00:25:36,624
Silly, that's the word.
335
00:25:36,701 --> 00:25:38,635
Still a heaping bunch of joy,
aren't you, princess?
336
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:43,663
Lonely Hearts Ball. Journalism has certainly
changed since the old days.
337
00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:47,302
What happened to you last night?
Pulled a fast fade on me.
338
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:50,712
- Don't tell me you actually missed me?
- I needed protection.
339
00:25:50,782 --> 00:25:53,250
Some of our love-hungry subscribers
got mixed up.
340
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:56,014
They were offering me deep-freezes
and vacuum cleaners.
341
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:59,318
- I'm surprised you refused.
- How do you know I did?
342
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:02,849
Certainly heavy coverage
on the unrequited passion set.
343
00:26:03,261 --> 00:26:06,924
Our love and romance edition, Charlie.
Even the crossword puzzle.
344
00:26:06,998 --> 00:26:08,966
But nothing from the Allison corner.
345
00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:12,335
Not interested in romance, Julie?
346
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:16,465
Not the kind that blossoms
on free gas stoves and television sets.
347
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:21,235
- About that Lonely Heart gag, I've got a...
- Steve, on the radio.
348
00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:27,652
- Julie. Hi, Charlie.
- Hi, Biddle.
349
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:31,086
Police call. Dead dame in a flat
on Third Avenue. Are you interested?
350
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:33,090
Well, she'd probably be a cheerful change.
351
00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:36,685
I'm still getting the icebox treatment
from the female on my left.
352
00:26:36,761 --> 00:26:40,162
After them scarecrows I shot last night,
I figure my luck's gotta change.
353
00:26:40,231 --> 00:26:43,428
Even dead, this dame's bound
to have more glamour.
354
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:45,467
Let's give her a look.
355
00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:48,801
Thanks for the coffee, kitten.
356
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:03,785
Another scarecrow. I'm batting goose eggs.
357
00:27:05,323 --> 00:27:07,848
Dames have got to make trouble
even when they die, don't they, pal?
358
00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:11,384
Yeah, water downstairs and water upstairs.
359
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:14,531
Probably wanted a room
with a swimming pool.
360
00:27:14,966 --> 00:27:16,866
Hey, Davis, what are you doing here?
361
00:27:16,935 --> 00:27:21,031
I just wanted to see if I couldn't get
to one of our calls before you did.
362
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:22,471
This isn't a homicide?
363
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:24,531
We got a new man
on the beat here, McCleary.
364
00:27:24,609 --> 00:27:26,167
He's built like you between the ears.
365
00:27:26,244 --> 00:27:29,975
He saw a hole in the back of the dame's head
and figured she was slugged.
366
00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:31,515
What's your guess, Lieutenant?
367
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:33,949
She put the hole
in the back of her head herself?
368
00:27:34,019 --> 00:27:36,783
Yeah, wise-eyes, that's it. That's it exactly.
369
00:27:36,855 --> 00:27:40,291
She slipped in the tub
and opened her skull on a faucet.
370
00:27:40,358 --> 00:27:43,953
- What was the lady's name, Sherlock?
- The landlady says Jane Jones.
371
00:27:44,029 --> 00:27:45,360
- Do you believe it?
- Yeah, I believe it.
372
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:47,762
I'm fresh out of nursery school.
373
00:27:48,466 --> 00:27:52,402
Jane Jones, alias Jane Doe.
Say, Dave, you're really humming.
374
00:27:53,204 --> 00:27:56,401
Look, nuisance, if you so much as make
these bedsprings squeak once again,
375
00:27:56,474 --> 00:28:00,308
- I'll throw you in the tub with the dame.
- Lieutenant, please.
376
00:28:04,616 --> 00:28:08,177
You're wrong, Dave.
She was murdered. Clear as your head.
377
00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:10,347
Murdered for her money.
378
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:13,949
Why, this lady must have spent easily
six or seven dollars a year on clothes.
379
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:15,492
Why don't you go home, McCleary?
380
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,462
There's nothing around here
to interest a big newsman like you.
381
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:27,827
Look, junior, keep your nose
in your own business, or I'll run you in
382
00:28:27,906 --> 00:28:31,137
- for obstruction, suspicion and vagrancy.
- Why, sure, Dave.
383
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:33,837
I just thought there might be something
in here to help identify her.
384
00:28:33,912 --> 00:28:35,243
No suitcase, huh?
385
00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:41,715
- In there, boys.
- Okay, Steve, I got all I need.
386
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:46,957
Thanks, Dave.
387
00:28:49,127 --> 00:28:52,062
- No, not you two again.
- What do you guys do,
388
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:54,758
smell these things
before the police call is even in?
389
00:28:54,833 --> 00:28:57,301
Try to forget your mugs.
There's a lady in the bathroom.
390
00:28:57,368 --> 00:29:00,531
- Yes, so knock before entering.
- Coming through.
391
00:29:10,381 --> 00:29:12,406
- What'd you pinch that for?
- Look familiar?
392
00:29:12,484 --> 00:29:15,544
I had them in front of me all night, didn't I?
393
00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:18,747
Hey, that's off a Lonely Hearts badge!
394
00:29:18,823 --> 00:29:22,554
Yeah. How many pictures
did you and the boys take at the ball?
395
00:29:22,627 --> 00:29:24,925
Three, maybe four hundred. I don't know.
396
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:27,260
Rush the print of Miss Bathtub
through the lab.
397
00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:28,594
Then check it against the others.
398
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:30,964
- See if you can match them up, okay?
- Sure.
399
00:29:31,035 --> 00:29:34,937
- Shouldn't take more than a week.
- Yeah, but I want it done in an hour.
400
00:29:35,006 --> 00:29:36,701
- I'll see you at the office.
- Where are you going?
401
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:39,903
I'm gonna hitch a ride to the morgue.
If you match them, call me.
402
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,674
How about a ride to the morgue, Pete?
403
00:30:04,969 --> 00:30:07,096
Hey, Needle Nellie, anybody home?
404
00:30:07,172 --> 00:30:08,662
Hey, handsome.
405
00:30:09,007 --> 00:30:11,271
- How you doing, sweetheart?
- Doing all right, handsome.
406
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:13,037
Come here and give us a kiss.
407
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,815
- How's business at the morgue, Nellie?
- Dead.
408
00:30:19,551 --> 00:30:21,178
Business is dead.
409
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:25,621
- It's good to see you, handsome.
- Likewise, sweetheart.
410
00:30:25,690 --> 00:30:27,385
A long time between dates.
411
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:30,621
But right now,
I come seeking your expert female advice.
412
00:30:30,695 --> 00:30:34,131
Anybody that's lived as long as me
can give it. Shoot.
413
00:30:34,732 --> 00:30:37,565
Nellie, if you had just one dress
to your name
414
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:39,535
and you'd fastened something onto it
with a safety pin,
415
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:40,969
and maybe you were in a hurry,
416
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,008
would you take time to undo the pin,
or would you rip the whole thing off?
417
00:30:44,075 --> 00:30:46,305
- This is a riddle?
- No, seriously.
418
00:30:46,377 --> 00:30:51,041
Well, if I had 10 dresses and the house
was burning down, I'd still undo the pin.
419
00:30:51,115 --> 00:30:52,639
Any lady would.
420
00:30:53,017 --> 00:30:55,485
That's what I figured.
I just wanted a woman to confirm it.
421
00:30:55,553 --> 00:30:57,453
I love you, Nellie. I love you.
422
00:30:57,522 --> 00:31:00,047
- Where you going, handsome?
- I gotta see the doc.
423
00:31:00,124 --> 00:31:01,955
Maybe I can get you some business, Nellie.
424
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:11,364
Did you get those ringside ducats
I sent you?
425
00:31:11,436 --> 00:31:13,427
Steve! Yeah, it was a great fight.
426
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:15,438
Mishke really tore that Haybelly apart,
didn't he?
427
00:31:15,506 --> 00:31:19,840
Had so much blood spattered on my glasses,
I missed the knockout punch.
428
00:31:20,478 --> 00:31:24,175
Look, Doc,
they just brought in an accidental death.
429
00:31:24,249 --> 00:31:27,047
- They're putting her in the freezer right now.
- So?
430
00:31:27,118 --> 00:31:30,110
So, I'd like you to give her
the onceover for me. An autopsy.
431
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:33,646
Accidents are out of my province.
You know that, Steve.
432
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:35,383
It's going to be
a great World Series this year.
433
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:37,087
Yeah, that it is.
434
00:31:37,528 --> 00:31:41,362
I don't suppose you'd be interested
in viewing the festivities from a box seat?
435
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:47,132
Are you trying to bribe a city official?
436
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:51,135
Right behind first base, Doc.
437
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:11,028
Yeah. Yeah, get some prints ready.
I think we've got our front page.
438
00:32:11,095 --> 00:32:14,792
Well, this is your lucky day. Drop back,
I want you to mark my racing form.
439
00:32:14,866 --> 00:32:16,766
Get the door, will you?
440
00:32:17,368 --> 00:32:20,064
Yeah, and don't forget, I smoke cigars.
441
00:32:20,838 --> 00:32:24,831
- Hey, Steve, let me wipe those off a little.
- Wipe them tomorrow.
442
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:32,008
Will you smile again
if I take you to dinner tonight?
443
00:32:32,083 --> 00:32:34,847
- A little celebration coming up.
- What's the celebration?
444
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:37,649
Another McCleary scoop.
Getting monotonous, isn't it?
445
00:32:37,722 --> 00:32:42,557
That dinner. A two-party celebration,
or are you bringing a friend?
446
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:44,559
Just you and me alone.
447
00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:47,825
I'll smile again.
What are the fragile treasures?
448
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:52,060
Very rare items.
Pictures of a dame with her mouth shut.
449
00:32:53,071 --> 00:32:55,972
- Joey, catch the door, will you?
- All right.
450
00:32:58,676 --> 00:33:01,270
I've been waiting a long time
for a chance to say this.
451
00:33:01,346 --> 00:33:03,439
- Stop the presses!
- Did you get a morning-after story
452
00:33:03,514 --> 00:33:05,004
on any of those couples
we married last night?
453
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:07,483
I got a story from one
of the Lonely Heart Ball guests, all right.
454
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:11,079
But she didn't get married last night.
She got murdered!
455
00:33:19,964 --> 00:33:23,263
- Who is she?
- A Jane Doe. Nobody knows her real name.
456
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:25,996
The police think she slipped in the bathtub
and bashed her head in,
457
00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:30,507
- or they did until a little while ago.
- But you knew better all the time?
458
00:33:30,575 --> 00:33:32,941
After Doc O'Hanlon got through
cutting her up for me.
459
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:36,538
She died between 9:00 and 12:00 last night,
before she went under in the tub.
460
00:33:36,614 --> 00:33:38,479
No water in her lungs.
461
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:40,283
Did he find anything else?
462
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:44,788
Yeah, her killer was a man, middle-aged,
fair complexion. Had brown hair.
463
00:33:45,390 --> 00:33:47,620
O'Hanlon found that
in scraping under her fingernails.
464
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:50,593
You ran into this
just by playing a hunch, huh?
465
00:33:50,661 --> 00:33:53,858
A string from a Lonely Heart badge
was on her dress in the closet.
466
00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:57,628
The badge had been torn off.
I followed through from there.
467
00:34:00,371 --> 00:34:04,364
Well, is this a story,
this Lonely Heart murdered after the ball?
468
00:34:04,575 --> 00:34:06,805
Can you sell papers with this?
469
00:34:10,248 --> 00:34:13,342
Baxter, Jordan, Allison,
get in here right away.
470
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:15,477
They didn't know her name, you said?
471
00:34:15,553 --> 00:34:18,920
Well, she called herself Jane Jones.
How phony can you get?
472
00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:20,014
We've just been struck by lightning.
473
00:34:20,091 --> 00:34:22,025
It's a great follow-up
for the Lonely Hearts Ball.
474
00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:24,118
Tell them about it, Steve.
475
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:30,997
We'll call her Miss Lonely Heart,
no other name. Alone in the city, friendless.
476
00:34:31,536 --> 00:34:34,801
She went to our shindig last night,
hunting for a soul mate.
477
00:34:34,872 --> 00:34:37,363
Maybe she found one, the wrong one.
478
00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:39,872
Anyway, she left early,
and sometime before midnight
479
00:34:39,944 --> 00:34:41,343
she was beaten to death in her room
480
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:44,540
by a brown-haired, middle-aged man
of fair complexion.
481
00:34:44,615 --> 00:34:46,480
A smash follow-up is right.
482
00:34:46,551 --> 00:34:49,247
The killer had a head full of brains.
Good nerves.
483
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,723
He lugged her to the bathroom,
stripped her, tossed the body in the tub.
484
00:34:54,459 --> 00:34:58,520
No. No, he stood the body in the tub.
Aimed, let go!
485
00:34:58,696 --> 00:35:03,190
Bang, her head cracks the faucet.
Almost perfect crime. Ordinary accident.
486
00:35:04,035 --> 00:35:06,936
He's working smartly,
a guy with imagination.
487
00:35:07,004 --> 00:35:10,963
He takes her slip, stockings,
washes them, hangs them up to dry.
488
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,000
He wipes his prints off everywhere.
489
00:35:13,077 --> 00:35:16,274
He starts getting rid of anything
that could identify her.
490
00:35:16,347 --> 00:35:18,907
He took a ring off her,
probably a wedding or engagement ring.
491
00:35:18,983 --> 00:35:22,111
- How do you know that?
- Whitish circle, third finger, left hand.
492
00:35:22,186 --> 00:35:25,587
- O'Hanlon spotted it at the morgue.
- All right, go on, go on.
493
00:35:25,656 --> 00:35:27,954
Well, he grabs any other personal items
that might identify her
494
00:35:28,025 --> 00:35:29,856
and throws them in her suitcase and blows.
495
00:35:29,927 --> 00:35:32,361
- How do you know she's got a suitcase?
- Every dame's got a suitcase.
496
00:35:32,430 --> 00:35:34,022
But there wasn't one
in Miss Lonely Heart's room.
497
00:35:34,098 --> 00:35:35,861
This'll kick up the circulation.
498
00:35:36,701 --> 00:35:40,137
We can make the 5:00 edition exclusive.
Steve can do the lead story.
499
00:35:40,204 --> 00:35:42,263
Jordan, I want three column cuts
of the dame's picture at the ball
500
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:44,433
and the murder photo.
Allison, write me a sob story,
501
00:35:44,509 --> 00:35:46,568
"Miss Lonely Heart
won't be Ionely anymore."
502
00:35:46,644 --> 00:35:47,736
Fine job, Steve.
503
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,303
Sure, it's a great job,
but we're gonna top it.
504
00:35:50,381 --> 00:35:51,439
How?
505
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,513
- Bury her.
- Bury her?
506
00:35:57,555 --> 00:35:59,682
The best story I ever dug up, and he tops it.
507
00:35:59,757 --> 00:36:02,157
By 5:00 tonight, Miss Lonely Heart
will be selling newspapers for us
508
00:36:02,226 --> 00:36:05,923
on every street corner in Manhattan.
Now, go on, get going.
509
00:37:42,126 --> 00:37:43,787
Be seeing you, Humpty.
510
00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:31,269
Look, I've shown you everything in the shop.
That's the last one I've got!
511
00:38:35,513 --> 00:38:36,605
Mark!
512
00:38:39,283 --> 00:38:41,217
- Mark, old boy!
- How are you, Charlie.
513
00:38:41,285 --> 00:38:45,085
What distasteful mission brings you to this
unholy neighborhood, Mark, my friend?
514
00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:46,589
I'm just looking around.
I like to keep my hand in,
515
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,124
even though I am strapped
to a desk right now.
516
00:38:48,192 --> 00:38:50,126
You wouldn't mean you're keeping
your hand in by working
517
00:38:50,194 --> 00:38:51,821
on this Lonely Heart murder,
would you, now, Mark?
518
00:38:51,896 --> 00:38:53,955
I've got a staff to take care of that for me.
519
00:38:54,031 --> 00:38:56,727
You can't kid an old newshound
like me, Mark.
520
00:38:56,801 --> 00:39:00,999
Still following our old formula,
first check the hock shops for a clue?
521
00:39:01,072 --> 00:39:03,336
Didn't wanna tip your hand
to those cops in there, did you?
522
00:39:03,407 --> 00:39:05,637
I tell you I'm not down here on business.
Now stop playing hawkshaw!
523
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:08,770
Let me show you Charlie Barnes
still has the master's touch
524
00:39:08,846 --> 00:39:11,713
- when it comes to following up a lead, Mark.
- Tell me about it later, will you,
525
00:39:11,782 --> 00:39:15,684
- when you come back to work for me?
- You're afraid I'll get drunk and tip the story.
526
00:39:15,753 --> 00:39:18,881
- I'm tapering off, Mark.
- That's fine, Charlie. I'll call you.
527
00:39:18,956 --> 00:39:23,825
Let me work this with you, Mark. I know
this whole district from gutter to rum-heads.
528
00:39:23,894 --> 00:39:26,226
Pete in the pawnshop's
an honored friend of mine.
529
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:27,992
- Yeah.
- I can get him to work with me and...
530
00:39:28,065 --> 00:39:30,898
- Hello, Charlie!
- Go away.
531
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:35,400
- Here, Charlie, here's something to count.
- I don't want a handout, Mark.
532
00:39:35,473 --> 00:39:37,498
- I want to work.
- You can pay me later. I'll call you, Charlie.
533
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:39,338
Mark, let me help...
534
00:40:13,544 --> 00:40:14,704
Hang onto them, Pete.
535
00:40:14,779 --> 00:40:17,873
We'll drop back payday
and look them over again.
536
00:40:25,022 --> 00:40:26,489
Them guys should wear glasses.
537
00:40:26,557 --> 00:40:29,185
They do so much looking,
but never no buying.
538
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:31,125
Get this for me, Pete.
539
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:34,356
Taking something out for a change
instead of putting it in, Charlie?
540
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:37,526
I admit to the novelty of the occasion, Peter.
541
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:50,109
- Hey, you didn't hock this with me.
- Doing a favor for a friend.
542
00:40:52,082 --> 00:40:56,178
Them cops. You know, if someday
they should buy something from me, I'd...
543
00:40:56,253 --> 00:40:59,620
No, that'd be bad. I'd drop dead.
544
00:41:02,226 --> 00:41:06,185
You know, Charlie, I ought to be
in some other kind of business.
545
00:41:06,697 --> 00:41:10,497
You really meet a very poor class of people
in this business.
546
00:41:10,768 --> 00:41:13,259
Not meaning anything personal,
you understand.
547
00:41:13,337 --> 00:41:16,773
But I'm always dealing with people
who are in trouble,
548
00:41:17,274 --> 00:41:21,608
people who gotta hock something.
People who gotta buy something cheap.
549
00:41:24,582 --> 00:41:28,109
I don't like cheap things.
I never did and I never will.
550
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:34,356
I should have been big fur man, maybe,
or big jewelry man.
551
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,651
Then I could deal with rich people.
552
00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:42,554
That's the kind of people
I really prefer to deal with.
553
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:47,694
- Hey! How much is on this ticket?
- Two bucks.
554
00:41:58,249 --> 00:41:59,841
Here, sign here.
555
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:08,424
You know, sometimes they say
even the rich people aren't happy.
556
00:42:08,492 --> 00:42:11,017
But how that could be, I don't know.
557
00:42:12,296 --> 00:42:15,857
Thank you, Peter.
Thank you for being in business!
558
00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:21,433
Thank you very much.
559
00:42:33,517 --> 00:42:35,041
A shot, Heeney.
560
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:38,614
You look like your blood pressure's boiling,
Charlie. What's the matter?
561
00:42:38,689 --> 00:42:40,680
The classic irony of the age, Heeney.
562
00:42:40,758 --> 00:42:43,659
Charlie Barnes, a stewbum,
rocking the newspaper world
563
00:42:43,727 --> 00:42:46,457
like he never did in all his sober days.
564
00:43:00,411 --> 00:43:02,208
- Composing.
- Yes, sir.
565
00:43:04,481 --> 00:43:07,712
Yes. Yes, madam,
I have two answers for you.
566
00:43:08,185 --> 00:43:11,313
First, you shouldn't talk
to strange men in bars.
567
00:43:11,388 --> 00:43:13,982
Second, because he asked you to marry him
568
00:43:14,058 --> 00:43:16,356
then hit you with a pretzel dish
when you refused
569
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:19,191
isn't conclusive proof
he's our Lonely Heart Killer,
570
00:43:19,263 --> 00:43:21,697
but thanks for calling, lady. Bye.
571
00:43:23,334 --> 00:43:26,326
Phony or not,
those tips belong to the police.
572
00:43:26,704 --> 00:43:30,299
When are you going to get rid of the idea
you're wearing an invisible badge?
573
00:43:30,374 --> 00:43:34,140
Julie Allison. Hello, Charlie. How are you?
574
00:43:36,714 --> 00:43:38,181
The Lonely Heart murder?
575
00:43:38,248 --> 00:43:42,844
And you've got to meet me right away.
We have to figure out how to handle this.
576
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,514
I know the killer, and it's dynamite.
577
00:43:46,757 --> 00:43:48,952
Well, Charlie,
that story is really Steve McCleary's.
578
00:43:49,026 --> 00:43:52,587
- I think you'd better talk to...
- No, no, Julie, I want you to have this.
579
00:43:52,663 --> 00:43:55,393
Now I can repay you, Julie child,
for everything.
580
00:43:55,466 --> 00:43:59,596
Julie, this is so... It's so tremendous,
it'll put both of us on top.
581
00:44:02,272 --> 00:44:04,035
What? What, Julie?
582
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:08,835
Okay, okay, both of you meet me.
583
00:44:08,912 --> 00:44:11,540
Maybe we will need
somebody like McCleary.
584
00:44:11,615 --> 00:44:14,175
Steve, Charlie says
he has information on the murder.
585
00:44:14,251 --> 00:44:18,654
- He's awfully excited about something.
- About two quarts full, probably.
586
00:44:19,890 --> 00:44:21,881
Yeah, Charlie, what's up?
587
00:44:22,726 --> 00:44:25,695
I wanted Julie to have this,
but she insists you be on in it.
588
00:44:25,763 --> 00:44:27,663
I mean you be in on it.
589
00:44:27,965 --> 00:44:30,297
- What's the matter, Charlie?
- No.
590
00:44:31,368 --> 00:44:34,462
- What? You're not sore, are you?
- No, go away!
591
00:44:36,006 --> 00:44:38,099
What? What have I got?
592
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:40,939
I've got the Lonely Heart Killer for you,
that's what!
593
00:44:41,011 --> 00:44:44,777
Gee, Charlie, that's great.
You getting him crocked so he'll confess?
594
00:44:44,848 --> 00:44:48,807
I haven't got him. I know who he is.
595
00:44:54,858 --> 00:44:55,950
What?
596
00:44:59,563 --> 00:45:03,465
Yes, I'm in a saloon.
I'm in Heeney's. But I'm not drunk.
597
00:45:04,034 --> 00:45:07,128
I've just taken the hottest story
of the century out of hock, and I'm gonna...
598
00:45:08,038 --> 00:45:11,064
He's really flying tonight.
See what your 10 bucks did?
599
00:45:11,141 --> 00:45:15,009
Stop treating him like some
weak-minded child. Listen to what he's got.
600
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:19,482
- He's not this excited for nothing.
- You know what he's got? The DTs.
601
00:45:19,616 --> 00:45:21,675
Charlie Barnes, tanked to the eyeballs,
602
00:45:21,752 --> 00:45:24,880
says he just took the Lonely Heart
murder solution out of hock.
603
00:45:26,056 --> 00:45:29,583
Hello, Charlie?
Still there? Let's start all over again.
604
00:45:30,294 --> 00:45:34,788
Listen, you mental midget. The only reason
I'm calling the <i>Express</i> is Julie Allison.
605
00:45:34,865 --> 00:45:37,732
Before I'd give this story
to an insolent young pup like you,
606
00:45:37,801 --> 00:45:39,792
I'd take it to the <i>Daily Leader!</i>
607
00:45:39,870 --> 00:45:42,304
Charlie's mad now.
Gonna sell it to the <i>Leader.</i>
608
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:46,069
- Hang up on the drunken slob.
- Julie? She just left.
609
00:45:46,477 --> 00:45:48,570
I guess we'll just have to read your story
in the <i>Leader</i> tomorrow.
610
00:45:48,645 --> 00:45:50,772
- So long, pal.
- Give me that.
611
00:45:51,815 --> 00:45:53,077
- Hello? Hello?
- Don't be silly, Julie.
612
00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:55,141
He'll just keep you up all night
listening to his fairytales.
613
00:45:55,219 --> 00:45:59,349
- Where was he calling from?
- Bellevue psycho ward, I think he said.
614
00:46:00,257 --> 00:46:01,747
Your 10 bucks.
615
00:47:13,697 --> 00:47:15,460
- Keep this for me, Heeney.
- Why, sure, Charlie.
616
00:47:15,532 --> 00:47:17,056
A couple hours.
617
00:47:17,868 --> 00:47:20,359
One more, Heeney. One for the road.
618
00:48:05,215 --> 00:48:06,739
Hello, Charlie.
619
00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:13,617
Mark. I thought you were still down
at the Bowery.
620
00:48:15,692 --> 00:48:18,024
I hear you got a story, Charlie.
621
00:48:18,195 --> 00:48:20,060
Where'd you hear that?
622
00:48:20,597 --> 00:48:25,364
- Isn't that what you told McCleary?
- Why, I was just schmoozing him, I...
623
00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:28,295
Lining him up for a little touch.
624
00:48:28,372 --> 00:48:31,432
I gave you some money.
What did you do with it?
625
00:48:31,775 --> 00:48:33,333
You didn't, by any chance,
find a pawn ticket
626
00:48:33,410 --> 00:48:36,379
- mixed in with the money, did you, Charlie?
- Pawn ticket? Why, I...
627
00:48:36,446 --> 00:48:40,177
Did you use the money
to get the story out of hock, Charlie?
628
00:48:41,218 --> 00:48:44,585
You've got something that belongs to me.
Where is it?
629
00:48:45,389 --> 00:48:47,220
You were on the way to the <i>Leader</i>
with some evidence.
630
00:48:47,291 --> 00:48:49,725
Where is it, Charlie? Where is it?
631
00:49:01,905 --> 00:49:04,738
It's a wonderful story, isn't it, Charlie?
632
00:49:05,509 --> 00:49:07,909
You wanted to be a big man, Mark.
633
00:49:08,745 --> 00:49:12,476
This will make you famous
beyond your most ambitious dreams.
634
00:49:13,884 --> 00:49:18,412
Great story?
I've waited all my life for a story like this.
635
00:49:19,456 --> 00:49:23,483
Well, you've got it, Charlie.
But you're not going to write it.
636
00:49:27,130 --> 00:49:30,622
You're crazy, Mark.
Twenty years you've covered the news.
637
00:49:30,701 --> 00:49:33,761
Seen the bright boys try this. It never works.
638
00:49:56,493 --> 00:49:59,587
We just heard about Charlie Barnes.
Rotten deal.
639
00:50:00,163 --> 00:50:04,293
It's hard when it's someone like Charlie
you've known for 22 years.
640
00:50:04,401 --> 00:50:06,164
I knew him 25 years.
641
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:10,167
I never expected to see him
laying on a slab in this place.
642
00:50:10,507 --> 00:50:15,001
Is that right, Doc? Was he found
in an alleyway across from the <i>Daily Leader?</i>
643
00:50:15,078 --> 00:50:17,205
- Steve...
- Yes, that's right.
644
00:50:17,447 --> 00:50:20,439
The <i>Daily Leader.</i> He had a story!
645
00:50:20,517 --> 00:50:23,509
But he was taking your clever,
insolent, fresh-guy advice
646
00:50:23,587 --> 00:50:27,216
- and giving it to the <i>Leader!</i>
- He was drunk, Julie. How could I know...
647
00:50:27,290 --> 00:50:29,656
Charlie Barnes never got so drunk
he didn't know a story!
648
00:50:29,726 --> 00:50:33,492
Or that he'd try to peddle
a phony tip to a newspaper! But you...
649
00:50:33,563 --> 00:50:35,394
You couldn't bother listening to him!
650
00:50:35,465 --> 00:50:38,798
You and that newsprint hero of yours,
Mark Chapman.
651
00:50:39,269 --> 00:50:41,032
You couldn't expect us to believe
that Charlie Barnes
652
00:50:41,104 --> 00:50:43,129
had any real information
on the murder, Julie.
653
00:50:43,206 --> 00:50:45,231
We still don't know that he did.
654
00:50:45,308 --> 00:50:49,711
If you and that stone-hearted, glory seeking,
"I am the great Mark Chapman"
655
00:50:49,780 --> 00:50:51,771
had thrown Charlie
the miserable crumb of respect
656
00:50:51,848 --> 00:50:54,510
of just listening to him, he'd be alive today!
657
00:50:54,584 --> 00:50:58,748
Julie, maybe you're right.
Maybe it is partly my fault Charlie's dead.
658
00:50:58,822 --> 00:51:01,882
I'm sorry. Really sorry. But what can I do?
659
00:51:02,392 --> 00:51:06,123
Don't go soft! Show Chapman
you're a chip off the old block.
660
00:51:06,596 --> 00:51:08,655
Have him give Charlie a fancy funeral.
661
00:51:08,732 --> 00:51:11,997
Great headline.
"The <i>Express</i> buries its cast-offs."
662
00:51:12,436 --> 00:51:14,097
It'll sell papers!
663
00:51:27,350 --> 00:51:31,912
Kenny, rewrite that one paragraph, will you?
Allison had a bad night. Yeah.
664
00:51:32,289 --> 00:51:35,087
I just got yesterday's figures
from circulation, Mark.
665
00:51:35,158 --> 00:51:38,491
Six hundred and ninety-six thousand.
You're moving up there.
666
00:51:38,562 --> 00:51:41,292
Looks as though it's going to cost
the <i>Express</i> some bonus money before long.
667
00:51:41,364 --> 00:51:44,765
Quicker than you can say,
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Stockholder Rawley!"
668
00:51:44,835 --> 00:51:46,666
We're only starting,
Mr. Madison, only starting.
669
00:51:46,736 --> 00:51:48,260
That's the spirit!
670
00:51:48,338 --> 00:51:50,272
When you get to the editor's chair,
remember one thing.
671
00:51:50,340 --> 00:51:54,743
You're a hero with a lifetime job,
as long as the circulation is rising.
672
00:51:55,045 --> 00:51:59,379
- What have you got there?
- Something that will keep circulation rising.
673
00:51:59,716 --> 00:52:01,581
Charlie Barnes' story.
674
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:04,378
What are you talking about?
675
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:06,820
Charlie wasn't near the <i>Daily Leader</i>
by accident, Mark.
676
00:52:06,890 --> 00:52:08,790
He had something to print.
677
00:52:08,859 --> 00:52:11,419
I couldn't find it in his effects
at the morgue this morning,
678
00:52:11,495 --> 00:52:15,932
but I found it at Heeney's bar,
the joint Charlie phoned from last night.
679
00:52:16,233 --> 00:52:19,134
Half a pawnshop ticket was still on the bag.
680
00:52:19,236 --> 00:52:21,431
Pete's Hock Shop. I checked it.
681
00:52:21,505 --> 00:52:24,838
Charlie came in the pawnshop last night
with a claim check.
682
00:52:24,908 --> 00:52:27,536
Said he was unhocking it for a friend.
683
00:52:28,478 --> 00:52:31,743
Well, what's in the bag?
Miss Lonely Heart's name and address?
684
00:52:32,916 --> 00:52:36,477
Better than that, Mark.
Much better than that.
685
00:52:38,054 --> 00:52:40,579
A picture of the guy who killed her.
686
00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:52,362
A picture?
You can't even see the guy's face!
687
00:52:52,435 --> 00:52:54,596
What's the matter, Mark?
This is the first real lead we've got.
688
00:52:54,671 --> 00:52:56,263
The way you talked,
I thought we had it all sewed up.
689
00:52:56,339 --> 00:52:59,604
Sure, it's a lead, but it's a thin one.
How much does this give us?
690
00:52:59,676 --> 00:53:04,773
Well, we're certain the dame had a husband.
They were married in 1931 in Connecticut.
691
00:53:05,248 --> 00:53:09,048
- The husband's the guy who killed her.
- How do you make that?
692
00:53:09,419 --> 00:53:11,580
The ring mark on her finger
must have been a wedding ring.
693
00:53:11,655 --> 00:53:14,055
The inscription inside
could have identified him.
694
00:53:14,124 --> 00:53:16,388
And he grabbed the pawn ticket
figuring she'd hocked some belongings
695
00:53:16,459 --> 00:53:18,893
- that might peg him.
- Makes sense.
696
00:53:19,396 --> 00:53:22,194
Charlie got the pawn ticket from the killer.
697
00:53:22,265 --> 00:53:25,701
He must have been with him sometime,
someplace, yesterday.
698
00:53:25,769 --> 00:53:28,329
A lot of people
could have seen them together, right?
699
00:53:28,405 --> 00:53:29,770
Could have.
700
00:53:31,141 --> 00:53:33,609
Splash this picture
on the front page tonight.
701
00:53:33,677 --> 00:53:35,975
Offer a reward for information.
702
00:53:39,149 --> 00:53:41,674
"Lonely Heart Killer strikes again."
703
00:53:43,153 --> 00:53:45,246
When you write the story,
say that Barnes was working on this case
704
00:53:45,322 --> 00:53:46,346
undercover for the <i>Express.</i>
705
00:53:46,423 --> 00:53:49,620
He got too close to the killer
and died in the line of duty.
706
00:53:49,693 --> 00:53:50,887
Mark, I don't know, it...
707
00:53:50,961 --> 00:53:54,863
Nobody can deny it. It'll help sell papers.
We'll offer $1,000.
708
00:53:55,232 --> 00:53:58,360
Look, kid, don't pin your hopes
on anybody being able
709
00:53:58,435 --> 00:54:02,030
to spot the guy from this.
Unless they got x-ray eyes.
710
00:54:02,339 --> 00:54:04,034
I'm sure Charlie connected
the guy in the picture
711
00:54:04,107 --> 00:54:08,601
with the bird who gave him the pawn ticket.
I'm going to fine-tooth the Bowery myself.
712
00:54:08,678 --> 00:54:11,374
It's even money
that's where Charlie ran into our man.
713
00:54:11,448 --> 00:54:12,972
Good luck, kid.
714
00:54:44,314 --> 00:54:47,875
- Well, I got them for you, McCleary.
- Good work, Heeney.
715
00:55:05,368 --> 00:55:09,634
Well, this does it. I'll never touch
another drop the rest of my life.
716
00:55:17,547 --> 00:55:19,515
'Course some of them
been sucking on the bottle all night,
717
00:55:19,582 --> 00:55:21,516
but they can still stand up.
718
00:55:21,584 --> 00:55:24,747
- They all knew Charlie?
- Yeah, they all knew him.
719
00:55:25,088 --> 00:55:29,081
If you give McCleary here
any bum information, I'll brain you.
720
00:55:29,793 --> 00:55:31,818
And I might even do worse.
721
00:55:31,961 --> 00:55:35,522
No more free shots
when you're seeing little red spiders.
722
00:55:35,999 --> 00:55:40,095
How many of you boys saw Charlie Barnes
the day he was killed? Raise your hands.
723
00:55:40,170 --> 00:55:44,197
All right, raise your mitts,
them that seen Charlie day before yesterday.
724
00:55:44,274 --> 00:55:45,366
Good.
725
00:55:48,478 --> 00:55:50,446
- Where did you see him?
- See who?
726
00:55:50,513 --> 00:55:54,279
- This guy must be used to talking to mirrors.
- Charlie Barnes.
727
00:55:54,351 --> 00:55:58,253
I seen him come out of a joint
where he flopped in the morning.
728
00:56:00,824 --> 00:56:02,815
You, where'd you see him?
729
00:56:03,460 --> 00:56:05,826
- Humpty O'Dougal's saloon.
- What time?
730
00:56:05,895 --> 00:56:10,389
In the afternoon. Late in the afternoon.
Charlie had a nice little bun on.
731
00:56:10,934 --> 00:56:11,992
Was he with anybody?
732
00:56:12,068 --> 00:56:14,036
With anybody?
Sure, he was with somebody.
733
00:56:14,104 --> 00:56:16,834
Charlie never drank by himself
if he had a little cash on him.
734
00:56:16,906 --> 00:56:19,966
- Well, do you know the guy he was with?
- Certainly I know who he was with.
735
00:56:20,043 --> 00:56:23,206
- Well, who was it?
- Me. He sprung me three slugs.
736
00:56:29,686 --> 00:56:32,678
When did you see him?
When did you see him?
737
00:56:36,159 --> 00:56:38,491
- This morning.
- Throw him out of here.
738
00:56:38,561 --> 00:56:41,086
- Wait a minute!
- What are you talking about?
739
00:56:41,164 --> 00:56:44,691
- Now, is there any more jokers in the crowd?
- I seen him.
740
00:56:45,735 --> 00:56:49,136
Yeah? Well, go on. Where'd you see him?
741
00:56:51,074 --> 00:56:53,770
On the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
742
00:56:53,843 --> 00:56:57,472
- Go on, go on.
- Nothing. He was working a sucker.
743
00:56:58,014 --> 00:57:01,177
- Giving him the pally act, that's all.
- Now think hard.
744
00:57:01,251 --> 00:57:04,243
Do you remember the sucker?
Do you remember what he looks like?
745
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,754
- Maybe.
- What do you mean, "Maybe"?
746
00:57:06,890 --> 00:57:10,826
- Maybe for 50 bucks.
- Why you...
747
00:57:11,995 --> 00:57:15,362
Do you think you could remember
for 1,000 bucks?
748
00:57:17,267 --> 00:57:19,258
Who could tell who he is?
749
00:57:19,469 --> 00:57:22,461
Can you describe
the man you saw Charlie with?
750
00:57:22,906 --> 00:57:26,273
Do I get $1,000 if I do?
751
00:57:26,443 --> 00:57:28,968
You do. If and when we find the guy.
752
00:57:29,379 --> 00:57:32,212
- Sure, I can describe him.
- Well, go ahead.
753
00:57:34,918 --> 00:57:37,819
- You paying the reward?
- No, but my boss is.
754
00:57:38,655 --> 00:57:41,647
- Then I'll describe it to him.
- Okay. Come on.
755
00:57:41,791 --> 00:57:44,385
Rush this over to the composing room.
756
00:57:44,761 --> 00:57:48,492
Kenny, see if you can figure out
a heading for that rubbish.
757
00:57:48,698 --> 00:57:50,723
Connie! Connie, take this.
758
00:57:58,475 --> 00:57:59,806
Wait here.
759
00:58:13,623 --> 00:58:15,318
Look, Lieutenant,
just refer the captain to me.
760
00:58:15,391 --> 00:58:18,189
I'll tell him he's cropping at the best
homicide man he ever had on the force.
761
00:58:18,261 --> 00:58:20,491
If he doesn't know that,
he's deaf, dumb and blind.
762
00:58:20,563 --> 00:58:22,861
Yeah, never mind the malarkey, Chapman!
763
00:58:22,932 --> 00:58:24,900
The next time
you people pull a stunt like this,
764
00:58:24,968 --> 00:58:27,596
I'll throw both you and McCleary in the can!
765
00:58:28,271 --> 00:58:31,832
Okay, Lieutenant, okay.
I give you my word. Goodbye, pal.
766
00:58:33,042 --> 00:58:35,340
Davis is screaming because we gave him
the suitcase only a half hour
767
00:58:35,411 --> 00:58:36,878
before he read it in the <i>Express.</i>
768
00:58:36,946 --> 00:58:39,437
Well, I've got something
that ought to make him happy again.
769
00:58:39,516 --> 00:58:40,744
Not another suitcase?
770
00:58:40,817 --> 00:58:44,776
A guy who can identify the man
Charlie got the pawn ticket from.
771
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:51,384
Hey, Bailey. Come in here.
772
00:59:00,103 --> 00:59:03,561
He wouldn't describe the guy to me.
He needed the boss.
773
00:59:06,643 --> 00:59:08,304
You the boss?
774
00:59:09,379 --> 00:59:13,611
Yeah, and don't waste my time.
Where'd you see this guy with Charlie?
775
00:59:15,818 --> 00:59:18,446
Down the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
776
00:59:19,956 --> 00:59:22,151
You say you can describe him?
777
00:59:41,844 --> 00:59:44,335
Well, go on. What did he look like?
778
00:59:54,057 --> 00:59:55,786
Stand up, will you?
779
01:00:04,467 --> 01:00:07,766
Yeah, just how I figured.
780
01:00:08,805 --> 01:00:10,432
You figured what?
781
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,272
He was your size,
782
01:00:17,313 --> 01:00:18,678
your build.
783
01:00:19,115 --> 01:00:21,345
Could have been as old as you.
784
01:00:21,951 --> 01:00:26,217
- Is that all?
- All you asked me was to describe him.
785
01:00:26,723 --> 01:00:30,625
That was no description!
That could fit a million guys in this town.
786
01:00:30,693 --> 01:00:34,060
- Even me.
- Well, how about the reward?
787
01:00:34,130 --> 01:00:38,123
Here, take this down to the cashier
and pick yourself up five bucks.
788
01:00:38,201 --> 01:00:41,261
- Show him where it is, Steve.
- Come on, Bailey.
789
01:01:30,186 --> 01:01:31,517
Hey, Baxter, where's Julie?
790
01:01:31,587 --> 01:01:34,078
She came in this morning,
banged this out on her typewriter,
791
01:01:34,157 --> 01:01:36,216
and told me to give it to Chapman.
792
01:01:36,292 --> 01:01:38,385
- What is it?
- Her resignation.
793
01:01:38,461 --> 01:01:42,261
I figured I'd hang onto it a day or so.
Maybe she'd cool off.
794
01:01:42,632 --> 01:01:46,261
I'm sure glad you did.
I'll take care of it for you, okay?
795
01:01:49,238 --> 01:01:50,762
Baxter, thanks.
796
01:02:00,883 --> 01:02:03,647
- Hello, Mrs. Allison.
- Well, hello, Steve. Come in.
797
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,051
Thank you.
798
01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:14,458
I have a pot of coffee in the kitchen.
I'd better see to it.
799
01:02:14,664 --> 01:02:16,564
Can I say a few words to you?
800
01:02:16,632 --> 01:02:19,533
Without getting hit with a table
or something?
801
01:02:19,602 --> 01:02:22,230
Speak your piece and get it over with.
802
01:02:22,338 --> 01:02:25,535
I just got rocked
with a bad piece of news, Julie.
803
01:02:25,742 --> 01:02:28,040
I heard about your resignation.
804
01:02:28,444 --> 01:02:31,845
Well, I can't imagine
why you'd shed any tears over it.
805
01:02:31,914 --> 01:02:33,211
Well, for what it's worth,
806
01:02:33,282 --> 01:02:36,308
your resigning knocks the props
out of a lot of things for me.
807
01:02:37,754 --> 01:02:40,655
That couldn't have come
from Steve McCleary.
808
01:02:41,791 --> 01:02:44,851
Okay, pass it. But I didn't figure
your burn at Chapman and me
809
01:02:44,927 --> 01:02:48,454
would be bigger than your wanting
to do something about Charlie's murder.
810
01:02:49,632 --> 01:02:52,829
Don't start playing me
for a hollow-headed female now, Steve.
811
01:02:52,902 --> 01:02:55,871
Your only interest, and Chapman's,
in Charlie's death is exploiting it
812
01:02:55,938 --> 01:02:59,601
- for all the circulation jumping it's worth!
- Julie, I'm not digging on a story now
813
01:02:59,675 --> 01:03:03,577
just for the school-boy bang of seeing
my name over a sensational yarn.
814
01:03:03,646 --> 01:03:06,672
Yeah, that's right, I had to get hit pretty hard
before I smartened up.
815
01:03:06,749 --> 01:03:09,309
But now I'm leveling
on the Charlie Barnes business.
816
01:03:13,422 --> 01:03:18,257
Well, if I can believe what I'm hearing,
this certainly is a different McCleary.
817
01:03:19,328 --> 01:03:20,955
I've been working night and day.
818
01:03:21,030 --> 01:03:24,227
All I've done is run the local leads
to a dead end.
819
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:29,294
There's only one gimmick left to follow.
This picture, the marriage in Connecticut.
820
01:03:29,472 --> 01:03:33,067
It's odd the person who married them
hasn't recognized it.
821
01:03:33,142 --> 01:03:36,077
Unless he's dead or hasn't seen the picture.
822
01:03:36,579 --> 01:03:40,310
Yeah, I thought of that angle, too.
But it's a million-to-one shot.
823
01:03:40,383 --> 01:03:43,716
A guy would have to be an elephant
to remember a face after 21 years.
824
01:03:44,787 --> 01:03:48,314
Tell him about the elephant we met
on Fifth Avenue, about four years ago.
825
01:03:48,391 --> 01:03:50,791
We were walking along the street when,
right out of the blue,
826
01:03:50,860 --> 01:03:53,021
a complete stranger stopped me.
827
01:03:53,095 --> 01:03:56,656
It turned out to be the little preacher
who married Julie's father and me
828
01:03:56,732 --> 01:03:59,724
in Portland, Maine, 23 years before!
829
01:04:01,404 --> 01:04:06,603
- And he actually was able to recognize you?
- And I'd put on a little weight since then.
830
01:04:07,210 --> 01:04:10,270
They say a New Englander
seldom forgets a face.
831
01:04:10,980 --> 01:04:13,813
Crazy odds, but what can we lose?
832
01:04:15,051 --> 01:04:16,416
Yeah, get this picture
833
01:04:16,485 --> 01:04:19,750
to every churchman, judge
and justice of the peace in Connecticut.
834
01:04:19,822 --> 01:04:24,259
- It's certainly worth trying.
- It's a big job. Compiling lists,
835
01:04:24,527 --> 01:04:26,620
- checking out leads.
- It can be done.
836
01:04:26,696 --> 01:04:28,687
The two of us could handle it, Julie.
837
01:04:29,732 --> 01:04:32,667
Well, I'd like to, Steve, but I've resigned.
838
01:04:32,735 --> 01:04:36,637
And I'd sooner drop dead
than ask Mark Chapman for my job back.
839
01:04:43,312 --> 01:04:45,803
- You dog!
- It never got past Baxter.
840
01:04:46,883 --> 01:04:48,908
A list of churches in each town
is no problem.
841
01:04:48,985 --> 01:04:52,318
The judges and JPs we can get
from the state legal directory in Hartford.
842
01:04:52,388 --> 01:04:54,720
Yeah, you start packing.
Enough for a couple of weeks.
843
01:04:54,790 --> 01:04:56,451
I'm going to the office
and get the lab boys started
844
01:04:56,525 --> 01:04:57,787
on knocking out a few hundred circulars.
845
01:04:57,860 --> 01:05:00,260
But suppose Chapman says no
to my working with you on it?
846
01:05:00,329 --> 01:05:03,492
Why should he? Anyway, I'm not going
to tell him anything until we're ready to go.
847
01:05:03,566 --> 01:05:04,658
Tonight sometime.
848
01:05:04,734 --> 01:05:08,898
Mom, you think it's safe for me to travel
out of state at night with this young man?
849
01:05:08,971 --> 01:05:12,702
Just so he doesn't misconstrue
the meaning of "freedom of the press."
850
01:05:12,775 --> 01:05:16,336
Hey, you wonderful woman.
I'll check with you for dinner.
851
01:05:21,417 --> 01:05:23,544
Steve, this is shot-in-the-dark stuff.
852
01:05:23,619 --> 01:05:26,452
Mark, more rabbit-brained ideas than this
have paid off.
853
01:05:26,522 --> 01:05:28,956
Your hottest lead is right here in town
where the murders were committed.
854
01:05:29,025 --> 01:05:32,290
Yeah, our hottest lead was in town,
but it dried up like a puddle in July.
855
01:05:32,361 --> 01:05:33,589
You're looking for a mental marvel,
856
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:36,154
a guy who can recognize somebody
he'd seen for 15 or 20 minutes
857
01:05:36,232 --> 01:05:38,757
at a wedding ceremony
he performed 21 years ago.
858
01:05:38,834 --> 01:05:41,394
How do we know he only saw them
for 15 or 20 minutes?
859
01:05:41,470 --> 01:05:44,200
Maybe they were members of his church
or were married by a judge
860
01:05:44,273 --> 01:05:46,298
or a justice in their own town.
861
01:05:46,375 --> 01:05:48,605
Steve, you're off
on a needle-in-a-haystack hunt.
862
01:05:48,678 --> 01:05:51,078
You can find a needle in a haystack
if you look long enough.
863
01:05:51,147 --> 01:05:53,775
You don't think I'm gonna let you
hang around up there indefinitely, do you?
864
01:05:53,849 --> 01:05:55,680
You won't have to. A week, probably.
865
01:05:55,751 --> 01:05:58,982
Julie Allison's coming along to help me.
It's all arranged.
866
01:05:59,055 --> 01:06:02,456
It's all arranged. And that five grand reward.
You arranged that, too?
867
01:06:02,525 --> 01:06:06,586
No, you did, or will.
Mark, what's eating you?
868
01:06:07,096 --> 01:06:09,257
I'm only checking out every possible angle.
869
01:06:09,332 --> 01:06:11,061
Kid, I don't want you to beat your brains out.
870
01:06:11,133 --> 01:06:13,033
We can get just so much
out of this Lonely Hearts story,
871
01:06:13,102 --> 01:06:16,128
and then we'll start easing it off
and let it die a natural death.
872
01:06:16,205 --> 01:06:19,368
Let it die? Mark, we let Charlie Barnes die!
873
01:06:20,509 --> 01:06:22,909
The least we can do now is to find his killer.
874
01:06:23,679 --> 01:06:26,443
You're the guy who pounded into me,
"Never give up till you've got the story."
875
01:06:26,515 --> 01:06:28,449
Well, I'm not quitting on this one
until I've licked it.
876
01:06:28,517 --> 01:06:30,985
You can reach me
at the Lenox Hotel in Hartford.
877
01:06:56,579 --> 01:06:57,978
Long distance.
878
01:06:58,047 --> 01:06:59,844
I want some information.
879
01:06:59,915 --> 01:07:01,906
A telephone number
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
880
01:07:01,984 --> 01:07:05,181
The name is Hacker. He's a judge.
I don't remember his first name.
881
01:07:05,254 --> 01:07:07,222
You wish to place a call to this party?
882
01:07:07,289 --> 01:07:10,383
No, no. Not yet, that is.
I just want to get his telephone number.
883
01:07:10,459 --> 01:07:12,188
<i>One moment, please.</i>
884
01:07:16,799 --> 01:07:20,235
Hello? The Middlebury operator
has no listing for anyone by that name.
885
01:07:21,037 --> 01:07:22,436
There isn't?
886
01:07:23,305 --> 01:07:25,296
Middlebury's a small town.
Will you ask the operator
887
01:07:25,374 --> 01:07:26,966
if she knows anything
about Judge Hacker at all?
888
01:07:27,043 --> 01:07:29,273
Is he deceased, moved away, or what?
889
01:07:29,345 --> 01:07:31,074
<i>One moment, please.</i>
890
01:07:35,518 --> 01:07:38,510
Hello? The local operator
has been in Middlebury for five years
891
01:07:38,587 --> 01:07:40,646
and knows no one
by the name of Judge Hacker.
892
01:07:40,723 --> 01:07:42,384
That's all the information she can give us.
893
01:07:43,959 --> 01:07:45,153
Thanks.
894
01:08:32,908 --> 01:08:35,308
No, Reverend,
I'm afraid that's not our couple.
895
01:08:36,412 --> 01:08:39,040
You may be positive, Reverend,
but you're mistaken.
896
01:08:39,115 --> 01:08:41,515
The woman in the photo we sent you
is dead.
897
01:08:41,584 --> 01:08:43,916
Thank you for calling, Reverend.
898
01:08:46,288 --> 01:08:48,153
You don't have to tell me.
899
01:08:48,224 --> 01:08:50,852
It's written all over
your bright and shining face.
900
01:08:50,926 --> 01:08:53,759
A 190-mile drive
to have a whack-head tell me
901
01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:56,423
that both the people in our circular
died a year ago.
902
01:08:57,766 --> 01:09:01,896
New Englanders remember, all right.
Every face is familiar to them.
903
01:09:04,406 --> 01:09:07,671
Hello? Just a minute, here's Steve.
904
01:09:08,110 --> 01:09:10,340
It's that man again. Every day.
905
01:09:10,412 --> 01:09:13,313
Does he think we'll keep it a big fat secret
if we find something?
906
01:09:15,284 --> 01:09:16,649
Yeah, Mark.
907
01:09:18,487 --> 01:09:20,819
Nothing but an aching back
and some interesting meetings
908
01:09:20,890 --> 01:09:22,824
with jelly-brained screwballs.
909
01:09:22,892 --> 01:09:26,555
You've had enough time, Steve. Ten days.
Admit it's a dud. Come on home.
910
01:09:26,629 --> 01:09:29,325
Two more days, Mark.
We'll stick it out to the end of the week.
911
01:09:29,899 --> 01:09:33,391
Get out of the haystack. It's easier
to find the needles at the scene of the crime.
912
01:09:33,469 --> 01:09:34,936
I'll see you.
913
01:09:35,771 --> 01:09:39,832
Two more days. I don't even know myself
why we're sticking around.
914
01:09:41,043 --> 01:09:42,772
Anything there that sounds good?
915
01:09:44,180 --> 01:09:47,946
I'll read you a fair sample.
From a J.P. Waterbury.
916
01:09:49,084 --> 01:09:52,451
"Send me $5,000
and I will tell you names of people."
917
01:09:52,655 --> 01:09:54,646
A new head I'll send him.
918
01:09:55,658 --> 01:09:58,320
I've got a headache.
I think I'll lie down for a while.
919
01:09:59,728 --> 01:10:01,855
Why don't you lie down here?
920
01:10:07,269 --> 01:10:08,998
I'll go to my room.
921
01:10:15,344 --> 01:10:17,744
McCleary. Okay, put him on.
922
01:10:18,681 --> 01:10:20,808
A guy calling from Franklin.
923
01:10:21,283 --> 01:10:23,308
Hello? Yeah, that's right.
924
01:10:25,955 --> 01:10:27,149
You do, huh?
925
01:10:29,258 --> 01:10:31,590
- You've got what?
- What is it?
926
01:10:31,827 --> 01:10:35,456
- Just a minute.
- I have the other picture right before me!
927
01:10:35,864 --> 01:10:41,131
Yes, I married them July 19th, 1931,
over in Middlebury.
928
01:10:42,438 --> 01:10:44,702
A funny thing. What's that?
929
01:10:48,143 --> 01:10:49,872
Judge Elroy Hacker.
930
01:10:50,379 --> 01:10:52,404
We'll be there in two hours, Judge.
931
01:10:52,481 --> 01:10:54,244
Sit tight
and keep your mouth shut about this.
932
01:10:54,316 --> 01:10:55,374
Bye.
933
01:10:55,584 --> 01:10:59,247
Go on, get packed.
He's liable to drop dead on us or something.
934
01:11:55,110 --> 01:11:58,102
For a man who can sit there
and watch his success increasing daily,
935
01:11:58,180 --> 01:12:00,011
you're looking much too troubled, Mark.
936
01:12:00,082 --> 01:12:03,210
It's just that these minor problems
always seem to require major thinking.
937
01:12:03,285 --> 01:12:06,379
Well, perhaps we can balance
the unpleasant with the pleasant.
938
01:12:06,455 --> 01:12:09,390
That conversation we had the other day
about your buying company stock.
939
01:12:09,458 --> 01:12:10,823
- Yeah?
- I just thought I'd tell you,
940
01:12:10,893 --> 01:12:14,920
- I think we can swing that.
- That's fine, Mr. Madison, just great.
941
01:12:14,997 --> 01:12:17,659
Well, there doesn't seem to be any doubt
you'll reach that bonus figure.
942
01:12:17,733 --> 01:12:19,064
It'll be pleasant having you as a partner,
943
01:12:19,134 --> 01:12:20,863
- so to speak, in the paper, Mark.
- Thanks.
944
01:12:20,936 --> 01:12:22,801
- Good night.
- Good night.
945
01:14:17,953 --> 01:14:19,147
Sorry to keep you this late, Mark,
946
01:14:19,221 --> 01:14:21,621
but we got hit with a mess of traffic
on the way in.
947
01:14:21,690 --> 01:14:23,157
Your wire sounded important.
948
01:14:23,225 --> 01:14:26,456
I found that needle,
or rather the man with the needle.
949
01:14:26,528 --> 01:14:29,725
Judge Elroy Hacker,
Mark Chapman, Managing Editor.
950
01:14:29,865 --> 01:14:32,925
- Glad to meet you, Judge.
- How do, Mr. Chapman?
951
01:14:33,902 --> 01:14:35,893
- Sit down, Judge.
- Thanks.
952
01:14:36,772 --> 01:14:38,672
Does the judge's needle sew anything up?
953
01:14:38,740 --> 01:14:41,231
Everything but knotting the thread
at the end.
954
01:14:41,310 --> 01:14:42,937
I mean the noose.
955
01:14:44,046 --> 01:14:45,240
What have you got?
956
01:14:45,314 --> 01:14:48,511
The identity of Mrs. Lonely Heart
and her husband.
957
01:14:49,117 --> 01:14:51,711
Judge Hacker married them
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
958
01:14:51,787 --> 01:14:54,688
Their names are Charlotte and George Grant.
959
01:14:58,827 --> 01:14:59,953
Did you get that, Mark?
960
01:15:00,028 --> 01:15:03,327
The name of the Lonely Heart Killer
is George Grant.
961
01:15:03,699 --> 01:15:05,530
Yeah, I heard you. Go on.
962
01:15:05,601 --> 01:15:08,229
Strike two. The judge is sure
he can identify George Grant
963
01:15:08,303 --> 01:15:10,203
when he sees him again.
964
01:15:10,806 --> 01:15:13,969
You see, I took this picture myself.
965
01:15:14,710 --> 01:15:17,338
A little extra service
the judge gave his bridal couples.
966
01:15:17,412 --> 01:15:20,711
Yes. I'd send them a print
and put one in my own scrapbook.
967
01:15:20,782 --> 01:15:22,579
The judge even furnished
the "just married" sign.
968
01:15:22,651 --> 01:15:24,118
Judge, you said
you married them in Middlebury,
969
01:15:24,186 --> 01:15:27,883
- but Steve found you in Franklin.
- I retired seven years ago.
970
01:15:27,956 --> 01:15:31,323
I'm partial to fishing,
so I moved over on the coast.
971
01:15:32,027 --> 01:15:34,928
I only happened
to see your circular by chance,
972
01:15:34,997 --> 01:15:37,830
in the office of a justice friend of mine.
973
01:15:40,602 --> 01:15:43,571
I always said you were born
in a field of shamrocks.
974
01:15:43,639 --> 01:15:47,769
Sure. The McClearys raised their kids
on nothing but rabbits' feet.
975
01:15:48,410 --> 01:15:52,471
Judge, what makes you so sure
you can identify George Grant today?
976
01:15:54,383 --> 01:15:57,250
Well, mainly because right after
I took that wedding picture,
977
01:15:57,319 --> 01:16:00,482
this Grant got vexed at his wife
about something.
978
01:16:01,590 --> 01:16:05,651
I can remember his voice, snapping at her.
His face getting red...
979
01:16:07,696 --> 01:16:11,598
I know what's in your bonnet, Mark.
We still have to find George Grant.
980
01:16:11,667 --> 01:16:14,363
A needle's nothing but a hunk of steel
if you've got nothing to sew.
981
01:16:14,436 --> 01:16:15,801
We just need the thread.
982
01:16:15,871 --> 01:16:18,203
I figure we'll pick that up
right here in New York.
983
01:16:18,273 --> 01:16:21,367
When the police line up all the local
George Grants for the judge to look over.
984
01:16:23,745 --> 01:16:27,416
That's Julie. I dropped her off
at headquarters to tell Davis what we've got.
985
01:16:29,251 --> 01:16:32,618
Friend Davis is steaming
like a pressure cooker, as I said he would.
986
01:16:32,688 --> 01:16:33,746
He'll simmer down.
987
01:16:33,822 --> 01:16:36,484
So will your
lining up the George Grants idea.
988
01:16:36,558 --> 01:16:40,255
Davis says he'll do nothing until you turn
Judge Hacker over to the police.
989
01:16:40,329 --> 01:16:42,763
- Steve, you can't hold...
- Relax, doll. He'll see the judge later.
990
01:16:42,831 --> 01:16:44,924
Not tonight he won't.
The judge is our exclusive beat.
991
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,230
Nobody gets to him
till our story breaks tomorrow.
992
01:16:47,302 --> 01:16:49,031
I don't trust cops.
993
01:16:51,607 --> 01:16:52,904
You and Julie start writing the story.
994
01:16:52,975 --> 01:16:56,308
I'll put the judge in a side-street hotel
where nobody will get to him.
995
01:16:56,378 --> 01:16:57,902
Come on, Judge.
996
01:17:01,316 --> 01:17:03,648
I'll just wait for Mr. McCleary.
997
01:17:04,987 --> 01:17:06,921
He was going to put me up at his place.
998
01:17:06,989 --> 01:17:08,581
That's the first place
the wolves will start baying.
999
01:17:08,657 --> 01:17:10,921
You better come with me, Judge.
1000
01:17:10,993 --> 01:17:15,157
No, I don't think it would be wise
for me to go with you, Mr. Grant.
1001
01:17:15,731 --> 01:17:18,325
- Mister...
- Chapman, Judge. Not Grant.
1002
01:17:18,734 --> 01:17:21,294
You'd better give your brain a rest.
You're gonna need it.
1003
01:17:21,370 --> 01:17:22,735
He may be Chapman now,
1004
01:17:22,804 --> 01:17:27,104
but 21 years ago, when I married them,
he was George Grant.
1005
01:17:27,509 --> 01:17:29,534
And he was a newspaperman.
1006
01:17:30,379 --> 01:17:34,145
I remember now. He said he worked
on the paper over in Waterford.
1007
01:17:34,216 --> 01:17:37,549
Waterford, Connecticut, was that town
I couldn't think of.
1008
01:17:37,619 --> 01:17:40,110
But I knew I'd remember that voice.
1009
01:17:40,422 --> 01:17:44,586
His face... You've changed.
But it's the same man.
1010
01:17:45,060 --> 01:17:48,086
You remember that $5,000 reward, though,
don't you, Judge?
1011
01:17:48,163 --> 01:17:51,428
Judge. This is impossible.
You're getting confused.
1012
01:17:51,633 --> 01:17:54,864
He sounds to me as though
he knows exactly what he's saying.
1013
01:17:54,936 --> 01:17:57,837
This is idiotic!
Screwball, crackbrained lunacy!
1014
01:17:57,906 --> 01:18:01,364
And that's just the kind of a witness
the judge is going to make, too, Steve.
1015
01:18:01,443 --> 01:18:03,240
The police have that specimen
of hair and flesh
1016
01:18:03,311 --> 01:18:05,905
found under Mrs. Grant's fingernails.
1017
01:18:06,348 --> 01:18:09,283
I think we'd better get in touch with Davis.
1018
01:18:09,551 --> 01:18:11,212
No phone, Allison.
1019
01:18:21,797 --> 01:18:26,359
Julie pegged you right off.
But me, still wet behind the ears McCleary.
1020
01:18:27,235 --> 01:18:29,328
I went for the sleigh ride.
1021
01:18:29,971 --> 01:18:35,409
I practically built the pedestal for Chapman.
The great newspaperman. The great guy.
1022
01:18:36,778 --> 01:18:41,545
There ought to be a special Pulitzer Prize
for the world's biggest sucker, McCleary.
1023
01:18:41,616 --> 01:18:44,141
Just another one of your stupid slobs!
1024
01:18:44,219 --> 01:18:45,948
Things happen, Steve,
and then there's just no end.
1025
01:18:46,021 --> 01:18:47,921
Killing my wife was an accident.
1026
01:18:47,989 --> 01:18:51,823
And Charlie. Charlie Barnes,
who never hurt a fly in his life.
1027
01:18:52,294 --> 01:18:54,057
A washed-up drunken rummy
who had nothing to live for
1028
01:18:54,129 --> 01:18:55,790
against a career
that was just reaching its prime.
1029
01:18:55,864 --> 01:18:59,322
- It wasn't an even exchange.
- You've got a great career ahead of you now.
1030
01:18:59,401 --> 01:19:02,302
That's all down the drain.
I gotta to make different plans now.
1031
01:19:02,370 --> 01:19:04,736
You should have started running
when you got my wire, sucker!
1032
01:19:04,806 --> 01:19:06,501
I gambled.
The stakes are big enough, you don't run
1033
01:19:06,575 --> 01:19:10,443
unless there's nothing else left to do.
Don't try it, kid.
1034
01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:30,190
Steve!
1035
01:19:50,986 --> 01:19:53,011
We're just too close, kid.
1036
01:19:57,292 --> 01:20:02,059
I figured I'd find you birds here.
Still playing me for a pushover, aren't you?
1037
01:20:04,032 --> 01:20:06,227
Steve, you remember how I told you
1038
01:20:06,301 --> 01:20:09,464
that someday you'd run into
a really great story?
1039
01:20:09,905 --> 01:20:11,736
Well, this one ought to do it, huh?
1040
01:20:12,474 --> 01:20:14,374
Yeah, this one will do.
1041
01:20:14,976 --> 01:20:16,603
I'll give you the lead on it.
1042
01:20:17,846 --> 01:20:18,972
"The elusive Lonely Heart Killer,
1043
01:20:19,047 --> 01:20:20,708
"object of a nationwide search

1044
01:20:20,782 --> 01:20:23,774

1045
01:20:25,387 --> 01:20:27,321

1046
01:20:27,389 --> 01:20:30,449
"who learned his trade

1047
01:20:31,259 --> 01:20:32,920

01:20:32,994 --> 01:20:35,827
"Managing Editor of the <i>New York Express."</i>
1049
01:20:37,766 --> 01:20:42,601
- Write it up big, kid. It'll sell a lot of papers.
- All right, drop it, Chapman.

Mark Chapman, editor of the New York Express, has made the newspaper a success by pursuing sensationalism and yellow journalism. His protégé is ace reporter Steve McCleary, while successful feature writer Julie Allison is frustrated by the paper's drift towards raking the muck. One night, during a lonely hearts dance organized by the Express, Chapman's estranged wife confronts him and demands that he visit her hotel room. It is revealed that Chapman's real name is George Grant, and he abandoned his wife decades earlier, changing his identity. When Chapman rebuffs her efforts toward reconciliation, she threatens to publicize his real identity. Chapman tries to restrain her, accidentally killing her in the scuffle.
Chapman attempts to cover up his crime, posing the scene to look like an accident. The police initially believe she slipped in the bathtub, but McCleary begins covering the case, and his reporting reveals it was a murder. McCleary is eager to run the story, and Chapman must acquiesce to avoid suspicion. The "mystery" murderer is dubbed the "Lonely Hearts Killer." Charlie Barnes, an alcoholic former star reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner, stumbles upon the dead woman's suitcase, in which he finds wedding photographs showing Chapman (then Grant) and his wife. He realizes that Chapman must be the killer. Barnes contacts Allison, who has been kind to him, attempting to give her the scoop, but Chapman overhears the conversation. He intercepts and kills Barnes before he can reveal the truth to a rival publication. This act only increases public interest in the story of the Lonely Hearts Killer, much to Chapman's frustration.
Assisted by Allison, McCleary continues to track down clues and leads. Eventually he locates another photo from Chapman/Grant's wedding, although the groom is shot in profile and it is not obvious that it is Chapman. McCleary and Allison travel to Connecticut to find the judge who married the murdered woman and the man in the photograph. After a week of searching, they identify the judge who conducted the marriage. They bring him back to the newspaper building, where he identifies Chapman as the groom and thus the Lonely Hearts Killer. McCleary is incredulous, but Allison puts the pieces together and the desperate Chapman pulls a gun on them. The police arrive, and Chapman cannot bring himself to shoot McCleary. Instead, he gives McCleary his blessing to publish all details of his crimes and then commits suicide by cop.

1
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,468
I know how you feel, lady.
2
00:01:52,545 --> 00:01:54,445
Just take your time
and tell me what happened.
3
00:01:54,514 --> 00:01:57,915
He had this meat ax, her blood all over it.
4
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:03,187
My brother-in-law had it.
Blood all over his hands, all over his shirt.
5
00:02:03,389 --> 00:02:05,687
I can't talk about it, Officer.
6
00:02:05,859 --> 00:02:08,851
I know it's rough, lady,
but I have to have the facts.
7
00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:14,298
He comes staggering out in the hall.
He says, "I did it. Call the cops."
8
00:02:15,101 --> 00:02:16,125
And then he...
9
00:02:16,202 --> 00:02:19,467
Snap it up, Captain.
Lieutenant Davis just blew in.
10
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,303
What's he going to do, Officer?
11
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:25,003
- I'm not a cop, lady.
- But you said...
12
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:27,610
All I said was,
"I had to ask you some questions."
13
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,079
I'm from the <i>Express.</i>
14
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:33,984
You made me go through all that.
Why, you're not decent! You're not human!
15
00:02:34,754 --> 00:02:38,121
- Sorry, lady. All part of the job.
- Well, well, Lieutenant Davis.
16
00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:42,252
- Say, this must have been a homicide.
- Hi, Lieutenant. Wait till you hear it.
17
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:45,092
- A messy one.
- You keep pulling stuff like this, McCleary,
18
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:50,193
and so help me, if it's the last thing I do,
I'll run you in! Now, that's a warning!
19
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:18,591
This is KL-75263. Get me Plaza-52099.
20
00:03:19,532 --> 00:03:24,401
You know, that wasn't a bad-Iooking dame.
Too bad the guy used an ax on her head.
21
00:03:25,271 --> 00:03:27,796
Spoiled some pretty pictures for me.
22
00:03:28,908 --> 00:03:31,877
Hey, Mark, have you put on the gloves
with those stockholders yet?
23
00:03:32,178 --> 00:03:34,203
Hi. No, I'm just taping up my hands.
24
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,976
<i>Well, you can tell them we got</i>
<i>another neat and gory one coming up.</i>
25
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:39,177
<i>Hatchet murder. Lower East Side tenement.</i>
26
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:41,652
<i>Wrapped up an exclusive interview</i>
<i>with an eyewitness.</i>
27
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:43,211
You got plenty of art?
28
00:03:43,289 --> 00:03:45,052
Yeah. Biddle grabbed all he could
of the body.
29
00:03:45,124 --> 00:03:49,185
A dame, very messy.
Got a great hysterical close-up of her sister.
30
00:03:49,529 --> 00:03:52,828
I'll even write the caption for you.
"I seen him with a bloody meat ax."
31
00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:54,592
Good. With that, I can sell papers.
32
00:03:54,667 --> 00:03:57,295
Give it to rewrite and we'll get it in the final.
Hold on. What do you want?
33
00:03:57,370 --> 00:04:00,237
Mr. Madison called down
from the boardroom again, Mr. Chapman.
34
00:04:00,306 --> 00:04:02,831
You hear that?
I'm letting them stew in their financial juices.
35
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:05,067
Well, don't overdo it. I like this job.
36
00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:08,273
You've never gone backwards
with me before, have you, kid?
37
00:04:08,348 --> 00:04:13,217
If we leave here, we'll bounce into
a bigger setup. I'll see you when you get in.
38
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:21,417
As one of the largest stockholders
in this corporation,
39
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:24,463
I would like to know
why the <i>New York Express,</i>
40
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:27,465
once a distinguished
and respected newspaper,
41
00:04:29,869 --> 00:04:33,600
has been allowed to become
a cheap and depraved publication.
42
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:38,835
Why has an editor been allowed
to turn a decent journal into this?
43
00:04:39,679 --> 00:04:41,613
A disgusting tabloid!
44
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,749
Pandering to the passions
of the base morons!
45
00:04:45,151 --> 00:04:47,847
I demand an explanation, Frank Madison.
46
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:54,750
Well, Mrs. Rawley, I...
In defense of Mark Chapman, I...
47
00:04:54,827 --> 00:04:58,263
Mr. Madison, I'd like to handle
my own defense, if you don't mind.
48
00:04:58,331 --> 00:04:59,855
Just as you say, Mark.
49
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:05,428
Mrs. Rawley, I think you
and the other stockholders should know
50
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:07,496
that your publisher hired me
as executive editor
51
00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:09,837
with full rights to transform this newspaper.
52
00:05:10,677 --> 00:05:14,443
He did this for a very simple reason.
He was fed up with operating at a loss.
53
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:18,611
Why did Mr. Madison hire me?
Well, he felt it was time that the <i>Express</i>
54
00:05:18,685 --> 00:05:21,745
buried its antiquated negative approach,
such as this.
55
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:25,756
But who won?
56
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:29,920
And become a positive newspaper.
We're in a business, ladies and gentlemen,
57
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:34,695
a business of satisfying the hunger
of the public for thrills, escape and news.
58
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:39,271
Here's where I took over
your highly respectable white elephant.
59
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:42,172
Instead of headlining a UN story,
we gave them a vice story.
60
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:44,368
Obviously, they went for it.
61
00:05:44,544 --> 00:05:46,239
We played down
the presidential appointments
62
00:05:46,312 --> 00:05:48,644
and concentrated
on the "Gorilla Man" killings.
63
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:51,576
Here's what happened.
Thirty or forty thousand new readers.
64
00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:54,245
Why, in a year, circulation's up over 110%.
65
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,686
And when we reach 750,000,
66
00:05:56,756 --> 00:06:00,886
we'll have to pay you a big bonus.
I'm not sure I like this at all.
67
00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:02,761
Did you like the dividend check
you got last month
68
00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:04,194
for the first time in 12 years?
69
00:06:04,263 --> 00:06:07,323
I don't like this, sir.
What kind of journalism is this?
70
00:06:07,967 --> 00:06:10,026
A newspaper
staging a cheap, vulgar display
71
00:06:10,103 --> 00:06:13,266
in order to attract
the stupid slobs of the city!
72
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,865
The thousands who will attend
the Lonely Heart dance tonight,
73
00:06:15,942 --> 00:06:18,467
these poor, friendly, unhappy people
whom you call stupid slobs,
74
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:20,569
buy and read this newspaper.
75
00:06:20,646 --> 00:06:22,944
Their loyalty helped put that dividend check
in your pocket.
76
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:26,712
And I suppose you think it's a public service
when one of your reporters is arrested
77
00:06:26,786 --> 00:06:30,745
for withholding information from the police?
Or whatever it was.
78
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:34,150
This, what's his name, McCleary person,
79
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,352
and the things he writes about!
I think he should be fired!
80
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:39,295
This McCleary person
is the best young reporter I've seen
81
00:06:39,365 --> 00:06:41,060
in 25 years of newspapering.
82
00:06:41,134 --> 00:06:43,193
Before I'll fire him,
I'll throw the <i>Express</i> up for grabs
83
00:06:43,269 --> 00:06:45,669
and go to work for somebody
who appreciates real talent on a paper!
84
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:47,262
- Mark, I'm sure...
- One last thing.
85
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:50,798
The only contract I have here is a handshake
between Mr. Madison and myself.
86
00:06:50,877 --> 00:06:53,141
Now, unless you give me full rights
to run this paper the way I want,
87
00:06:53,212 --> 00:06:55,271
I'll quit after the final edition today.
88
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:58,784
Now, I'm sorry I can't stay with you
any longer. I have a newspaper to get out!
89
00:07:06,092 --> 00:07:10,426
- Your story ready, Miss Allison?
- I'll have the rest in a minute, Joey.
90
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:13,831
Mr. Chapman?
91
00:07:16,502 --> 00:07:17,696
Thanks.
92
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:26,937
McCleary story in yet, Bax?
93
00:07:32,485 --> 00:07:34,885
How'd you make out in the torture chamber?
94
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:40,450
This is good. Give it a big play.
Mac'll do a byline follow-up tomorrow.
95
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:43,825
- What are these?
- Pics for that Lonely Heart spread.
96
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:45,820
- Junk them.
- But I...
97
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:47,092
Take Peters off the Lonely Hearts.
98
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:48,997
He's photographing these slobs
like a lineup in a soup kitchen
99
00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:50,660
instead of panting for a red-hot romance.
100
00:07:50,736 --> 00:07:52,533
- Okay. But I...
- Yeah?
101
00:07:52,939 --> 00:07:54,566
Yes, Mr. Madison.
102
00:07:58,211 --> 00:08:00,611
- Get an ax, smear it with blood.
- Yeah? Whose?
103
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,171
Yours. If you can't spare any,
use chocolate syrup or something.
104
00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:07,652
Chocolate? Goody! When I'm through,
I can make a plate of fudge. Drop in.
105
00:08:08,721 --> 00:08:12,157
So, you still insist a woman having 20 kids
is worth a feature article?
106
00:08:12,225 --> 00:08:15,422
Hi, genius.
I think it's worth a whole front page.
107
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:18,391
It scares me, this maternal instinct of yours.
108
00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:20,955
Decided where you're taking me
to dinner tonight?
109
00:08:23,736 --> 00:08:25,966
If Chapman hasn't been canned,
110
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,169
you're going to dine with the worst loser
who ever paid off a bet.
111
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:31,608
Then you'd better stash some
bicarbonate soda in your bag, princess.
112
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:32,837
You're gonna need it.
113
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:35,437
Don't count your steaks
before you hear the sizzle.
114
00:08:37,617 --> 00:08:39,608
Well, what's the word? Are you ex or still?
115
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,880
They're not dumb enough
to throw out a winner.
116
00:08:41,954 --> 00:08:44,650
Congratulations. I knew you'd stick
their stocks right back in their teeth.
117
00:08:44,724 --> 00:08:46,555
I told them if they fired me,
McCleary would quit, too,
118
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:49,060
and then they'd be in real trouble.
119
00:08:49,128 --> 00:08:50,527
I wouldn't put it past them
to try and dump you
120
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:53,929
to get out of paying the bonus that's
staring them right in their glassy eyes.
121
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,331
I've got news for you.
122
00:08:55,401 --> 00:08:57,528
I'm going to cut you in
for a piece of that bonus.
123
00:08:57,603 --> 00:08:59,298
What do you want me to do, retire?
124
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:00,566
I thought we could make a deal with Madison
125
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,698
to buy some of the company's stock.
126
00:09:01,774 --> 00:09:03,901
You know, kid,
we could end up owning this newspaper.
127
00:09:03,976 --> 00:09:06,536
- Well, that's the best offer I've had all week.
- I'll make you another one.
128
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:09,080
I'll take you to dinner tonight.
You pick the spot.
129
00:09:10,349 --> 00:09:14,012
I'll make you a better offer.
My date's buying. She lost a bet.
130
00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:17,544
The Grand Duchess from Vassar again?
The way I feel, I can put up with anything.
131
00:09:17,623 --> 00:09:19,818
- I'm more worried, can she put up with you?
- Get her ready.
132
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:24,124
We've got to be at the ballroom at 8:00.
There's no time for nose powder.
133
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:32,597
Don't break your ears with that grin.
I can see. He's still in.
134
00:09:33,005 --> 00:09:36,532
- No loud whoops of joy, baby?
- Well, I tried everything.
135
00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:39,770
I crossed my fingers,
said prayers, burned candles.
136
00:09:39,845 --> 00:09:43,713
- Who's your tailor, princess?
- Let's get out of here.
137
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,075
I've had to look at that Chapman face all day.
138
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:50,714
I've got to cover his fiasco tonight
and suffer some more.
139
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:53,987
At least just looking at you for an hour
will be a welcome change.
140
00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:57,496
- Lf you're taking me to dinner, let's go.
- Taking him?
141
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,195
Wait a minute.
Our bet was between you and me.
142
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:03,463
Our bet was loser buys dinner.
We didn't say for how many.
143
00:10:03,536 --> 00:10:06,994
- Why, you double-crossing...
- I knew you'd be a good loser.
144
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:10,807
Someday remind me to tell you about girls.
145
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:20,248
You talk a couple of these suckers
into getting married.
146
00:10:20,319 --> 00:10:21,581
These Lonely Heart slobs got the gimmies,
147
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:23,519
and we've got plenty to give them
from the advertisers.
148
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:25,284
If you talk one couple
into getting married by 9:00,
149
00:10:25,358 --> 00:10:27,883
by 12:00 we'll have a dozen lined up
for wedded bliss.
150
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,155
- McCleary, the Brooklyn cupid.
- McCleary, the human yes man.
151
00:10:30,229 --> 00:10:31,594
Hey, Julie!
152
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:34,155
- Hello, Charlie.
- Charlie.
153
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:38,225
- How are you, Barnes?
- Fine, Mark. You're looking fit. McCleary.
154
00:10:38,571 --> 00:10:39,595
Thank you.
155
00:10:39,672 --> 00:10:41,799
What goes on? Are you ghosting
Allison's features, Charlie?
156
00:10:41,874 --> 00:10:43,774
No, he's helping me with research
for that series
157
00:10:43,843 --> 00:10:45,640
on historical monuments in New York.
158
00:10:45,711 --> 00:10:47,872
You couldn't pick a better man.
I ought to know.
159
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:50,006
Remember those old days, Mark?
160
00:10:50,082 --> 00:10:53,813
Like the time I cut the phone cables
at the Lindbergh trial?
161
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:55,520
You scooped me. Almost cost me my job.
162
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:59,957
Scooped you, the wire services,
scooped everybody. That was the year...
163
00:11:00,026 --> 00:11:02,358
That was the year you won the Pulitzer Prize.
164
00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:06,826
Listen, Mark.
This stuff I've been doing for Julie, it's...
165
00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:13,200
- Mark, I think I'm ready to go back to work.
- That's fine. I'm glad to hear it, Charlie.
166
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,164
How about it, Mark? How about a job?
167
00:11:19,645 --> 00:11:21,510
- Why not?
- Thanks.
168
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:25,447
- Charlie, I'm so proud of you!
- This is gonna take a little juggling.
169
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:26,849
I won't be able to do anything right away.
170
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:28,978
Look, Charlie, I'll call you.
We're late, we gotta rush.
171
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:31,785
Sure, Mark, I know how it is,
always on the go.
172
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:35,258
- Coffee in the morning? Skinners?
- Sure thing, Julie.
173
00:11:40,199 --> 00:11:41,257
All the time I thought you were a...
174
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:43,699
- How much did you give him?
- $10. He earned it.
175
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:44,929
Ten bucks?
176
00:11:45,004 --> 00:11:47,336
- Buy a lot of whiskey.
- Did you see that rum-dumb?
177
00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:49,806
- Come midnight, he'll be in the gutter.
- Now, wait a minute.
178
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:51,274
He's an alky, Julie.
You shouldn't give an alky
179
00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:52,367
more than a buck at a time.
180
00:11:52,445 --> 00:11:55,414
You're liable to kill him.
Ten bucks, he can take a bath in it.
181
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:58,314
But... Well, this job
will change everything for him.
182
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:01,319
Job? I wouldn't have him in my office,
let alone on my staff.
183
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:04,117
In you go, sucker. Where are you going?
184
00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:07,085
I'm not going to let him go off believing this.
185
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:10,617
- Do you want to break his heart?
- Do I? What do you think you're doing?
186
00:12:10,696 --> 00:12:13,358
I'm giving him hopes and dreams.
A rummy like that lives on dreams.
187
00:12:13,432 --> 00:12:17,061
- He's happy. Why spoil it?
- Happy? Happy like your Lonely Hearts,
188
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,798
looking forward to those big romances
they've been promised?
189
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:23,069
- Only Charlie's romance is with a bottle.
- Get in.
190
00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:48,057
Biddle, don't leave that camera at half mast.
Stop goldbricking on the other guys.
191
00:12:48,134 --> 00:12:52,127
I must have got 100 shots already,
Mr. Chapman. My arm's giving out.
192
00:12:52,204 --> 00:12:56,334
You've only started. I want shots of people
from every state. Now start shooting.
193
00:12:58,911 --> 00:13:01,038
How are you doing, princess?
194
00:13:01,147 --> 00:13:04,116
Well, it's an effort,
but I'm trying to keep from screaming.
195
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:06,981
You were a real bundle of laughs
during dinner, too.
196
00:13:07,052 --> 00:13:08,781
Why don't you simmer down now?
197
00:13:08,854 --> 00:13:10,515
You're not so pretty
when your feathers are all ruffled.
198
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:13,183
Don't, Steve. I'm in no mood for levity.
199
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:17,491
- Do you feel like dancing?
- Do you figure that'll smooth my feathers?
200
00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:21,691
I've got a great idea for you. Grab yourself
one of these Lonely Heart boys.
201
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:25,066
Tell him you're a club date. Con him.
Get his life history.
202
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:28,903
- And there's your feature for tomorrow.
- Mark Chapman, Junior.
203
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:31,568
It'll sell papers, you left that out.
204
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:34,871
Happy hunting, cupid.
Mustn't let the boss down.
205
00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:38,312
Save at least one dance for me, princess.
206
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:58,034
Every time I aim my lens
at one of these walking zombies,
207
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:01,334
I think of the time
I covered the Miss America contest.
208
00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:03,705
The tears almost start to flow.
209
00:14:06,378 --> 00:14:09,370
From McCleary, you get nothing but service.
Ten minutes before 9:00,
210
00:14:09,448 --> 00:14:13,179
and couple number one. Mary and Joe
met in front of the Arkansas booth.
211
00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:16,221
It was love at first sight, almost. Right?
212
00:14:16,288 --> 00:14:20,349
Well, sure. I'm from Texas,
but I sure love that Arkansas cooking.
213
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,890
- You love her, don't you?
- Well, sure, I reckon so.
214
00:14:23,963 --> 00:14:26,158
- Mary, you love him?
- Yes.
215
00:14:26,966 --> 00:14:31,130
- See, they're crazy about each other.
- Yeah, that's fine. Hey, Edwards.
216
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:33,535
We've got a romance going here.
They're ready for the orange blossoms.
217
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,837
- Well, how do you do? And congratulations.
- Save the teeth for the bandstand.
218
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:38,171
Get up there
and make the big announcement.
219
00:14:38,244 --> 00:14:42,044
Yes, sir, Mr. Chapman.
Come with me, you lucky, lucky people.
220
00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:46,842
Hey, you ain't gonna forget about the bed
with the built-in television set?
221
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:48,614
You'll spend your honeymoon in front of it.
222
00:14:51,624 --> 00:14:55,321
- Nice going, Steve, keep punching.
- I'll get the camera boys up to cover it.
223
00:14:57,129 --> 00:15:01,862
- Did you find a feature to write about yet?
- I haven't, and I don't intend to.
224
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:05,435
This bribing of poor, ignorant dopes
into a public wedding
225
00:15:05,504 --> 00:15:07,665
is cheap, cruel and disgusting.
226
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:10,573
This whole Wild West show is ridiculous,
and I want no part of it.
227
00:15:10,643 --> 00:15:13,305
Miss Allison,
your contract has six months to run.
228
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:17,281
My contract was made with Mr. Madison
before you took over the <i>Express.</i>
229
00:15:17,349 --> 00:15:18,543
If you don't like the way I run the paper,
230
00:15:18,617 --> 00:15:21,245
I have an agreement
that might be satisfactory to both of us.
231
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,811
Take six months' vacation with pay!
232
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:30,286
No, thank you, Mr. Chapman. I'll work it out.
I like my feature writing.
233
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,898
Thinking people like it, too,
234
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:37,561
even though there aren't many of them
buying the <i>Express</i> anymore. Good night!
235
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:43,605
That's it.
236
00:15:50,382 --> 00:15:53,613
<i>Friends, brothers and sisters</i>
<i>in the Lonely Hearts Club.</i>
237
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:55,677
<i>I have wonderful news for you,</i>
238
00:15:55,754 --> 00:15:59,747
<i>living proof that this magnificent club</i>
<i>is more than just a name.</i>
239
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:04,386
<i>But first, how would you like to meet</i>
<i>the great man who created your club?</i>
240
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:11,998
<i>Mr. Mark Chapman,</i>
<i>editor of the</i> New York Express.
241
00:16:12,071 --> 00:16:14,665
<i>Put the spotlight on him, over there!</i>
242
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,782
<i>Now here's the wonderful news.</i>
243
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:37,056
<i>Meet Mary and Joe, two happy people</i>
<i>who came here tonight as total strangers.</i>
244
00:16:37,463 --> 00:16:42,400
<i>They met, they danced, they found love.</i>
<i>They're going to get married!</i>
245
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,474
George?
246
00:16:57,516 --> 00:17:00,041
<i>- As the first couple who fell in love tonight...</i>
- George Grant!
247
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:01,814
<i>...Mary and Joe will receive...</i>
- It is you!
248
00:17:01,887 --> 00:17:03,752
<i>...compliments of the</i> Express...
- Charlotte.
249
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:05,119
<i>... a wedding night in a New York hotel...</i>
250
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:08,921
Finding you here...
I was so sure that you must be dead.
251
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:11,759
George Grant is dead.
252
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:14,259
Yes, I just heard.
253
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,134
- You're the...
- We can't talk here.
254
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:19,901
We can talk at my place, George.
255
00:17:20,806 --> 00:17:23,036
We've got a lot to talk about.
256
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:26,509
Go on out. I'll meet you at the side entrance.
257
00:17:32,785 --> 00:17:35,151
The years have been kinder to you.
258
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:38,621
What is it, 19, 20?
I used to keep track, but I don't...
259
00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:41,716
What's the difference?
Now that you found me, what do you want?
260
00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:57,401
May I?
261
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:07,375
- Come on, quit stalling around.
- What was it they called you at the ball?
262
00:18:07,453 --> 00:18:08,977
- Mark?
- Chapman.
263
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:15,755
When did you change your name, George?
Right after you left me?
264
00:18:17,062 --> 00:18:18,962
So I wouldn't find you?
265
00:18:19,631 --> 00:18:21,292
You knew I was so crazy about you
266
00:18:21,366 --> 00:18:24,028
I'd look and look and look,
didn't you, George?
267
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,697
Come on, get to it. What do you want?
268
00:18:27,739 --> 00:18:32,574
You're still in a hurry, aren't you?
That's the thing I remember best about you.
269
00:18:32,878 --> 00:18:37,645
The fellow who always ran and never walked.
Had to get places fast!
270
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,749
And you got places, didn't you, George?
271
00:18:44,323 --> 00:18:46,883
Here, you need some money?
Here's some for now.
272
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,860
Money? The payoff, George?
273
00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:54,497
How much? How much for each year?
274
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:58,633
How much for the agony
and the heartbreak and the fear?
275
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:03,141
- Charlotte, cut the ham act.
- This could be for the doctor bill, see?
276
00:19:06,578 --> 00:19:10,173
I was 20 years younger then,
took things more seriously.
277
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:14,142
I can't imagine how much.
278
00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:18,087
You're boring me now, like you always did.
279
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:20,388
People always bored you
280
00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:23,155
when you didn't have
any more use for them, didn't they, George?
281
00:19:23,228 --> 00:19:25,025
Bores and nuisances, I get rid of them.
282
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:27,497
Yeah, the same gentle way
you got rid of me.
283
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:28,692
My lawyer will get in touch with you.
284
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:31,702
He'll arrange a quiet divorce
and generous alimony.
285
00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:34,671
You're an important man now,
aren't you, George?
286
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:37,038
Editor of the <i>New York Express.</i>
287
00:19:38,977 --> 00:19:43,346
I never thought I'd be the wife of the editor
of a big New York newspaper.
288
00:19:43,415 --> 00:19:47,112
You're not, and don't get any ideas
about forcing yourself.
289
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:51,020
You've got nothing to gain by refusing me
a divorce now like you did 20 years ago.
290
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:56,759
I was young then and so foolishly in love.
I wanted so much to hold onto you.
291
00:19:57,496 --> 00:20:00,021
I made all of my mistakes when I was young,
and you were the biggest one.
292
00:20:00,098 --> 00:20:02,794
I fell for an attractive hunk of flesh.
293
00:20:04,169 --> 00:20:07,627
"Hold me." You didn't try to hang on.
You strangled me.
294
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,936
I'd smother to death with you.
295
00:20:15,747 --> 00:20:19,808
Turnabout's fair play.
When you walked out on me, I died inside.
296
00:20:20,352 --> 00:20:23,116
When I walk out of here, you're gonna die.
297
00:20:23,188 --> 00:20:27,852
Everything you worked for, grabbed for,
ruined people to get, it's all gonna die!
298
00:20:27,926 --> 00:20:29,393
You're a neurotic screwball!
299
00:20:29,461 --> 00:20:33,955
I'm gonna spread your story all over town.
Mark Chapman, the great editor!
300
00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:37,829
Wife deserter!
Living under a false name for 20 years.
301
00:20:39,137 --> 00:20:42,334
What else did you cover up
living under a phony name?
302
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:44,637
Your publishers are gonna love this.
303
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:49,044
And the other papers, they'll cut you
to ribbons with this information!
304
00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,470
Hi, honey, let me have the city room.
305
00:23:33,812 --> 00:23:37,179
This is Elkins.
If you need me, I'm over in Skinners.
306
00:23:38,316 --> 00:23:41,808
What? Having breakfast. Yeah, breakfast.
307
00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:53,323
Yes, Julie, after that fortunate
and historical meeting with Mark yesterday,
308
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:57,629
I had considerable difficulty
wooing the fickle Morpheus.
309
00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:01,939
That explains it.
Those bleeding eyes today.
310
00:24:02,474 --> 00:24:05,341
Well, I did have a couple
with the boys down below.
311
00:24:05,410 --> 00:24:08,277
A sort of celebration, and then farewell.
312
00:24:11,049 --> 00:24:13,574
You should have left them long ago, Charlie.
313
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:15,916
Any man who was big enough
in his day to rate that,
314
00:24:16,555 --> 00:24:20,389
a place in Skinner's Hall of Fame,
is still too big for Dead-End Street.
315
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:25,028
No regrets, Julie. My temporary alliance
with the denizens of the Bowery
316
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:29,863
has provided me with a deeper insight
into the whys and wherefores of mankind.
317
00:24:35,674 --> 00:24:38,006
A proven medical fact,
when the human system
318
00:24:38,076 --> 00:24:40,840
has been lengthily nurtured
on alcoholic stimulants,
319
00:24:40,912 --> 00:24:44,871
any abrupt cessation of same
will result in a negative reaction.
320
00:24:45,016 --> 00:24:46,381
Absolutely.
321
00:24:47,652 --> 00:24:52,385
But I'm tapering off. I'll be a firmly-rooted
passenger on the old water wagon
322
00:24:52,524 --> 00:24:54,856
by the time Mark's ready for me.
323
00:24:57,295 --> 00:25:01,561
Charlie, don't bet everything
on Mark Chapman.
324
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:06,666
He won't let me down.
First time I felt ready, I asked him for a job,
325
00:25:06,938 --> 00:25:10,032
and what happened?
He offered me one, didn't he?
326
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:15,173
- Mr. Lonely Heart.
- Compliments of the <i>Express,</i> Myrtle.
327
00:25:15,747 --> 00:25:18,545
- I see you read. You stick with the radio.
- Yeah.
328
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:20,744
Hey, McCleary,
I read that rag of yours by accident.
329
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:23,287
Yeah, me, too.
From ax murder to Ionely hearts.
330
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:25,653
What are you trying to prove,
you're versatile or something?
331
00:25:25,724 --> 00:25:27,885
What are you gentlemen
reading our rag for?
332
00:25:27,959 --> 00:25:30,427
Trying to find out
what's happening that's news?
333
00:25:30,495 --> 00:25:32,929
Good morning, kiddies. What's the word?
334
00:25:35,066 --> 00:25:36,624
Silly, that's the word.
335
00:25:36,701 --> 00:25:38,635
Still a heaping bunch of joy,
aren't you, princess?
336
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:43,663
Lonely Hearts Ball. Journalism has certainly
changed since the old days.
337
00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:47,302
What happened to you last night?
Pulled a fast fade on me.
338
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:50,712
- Don't tell me you actually missed me?
- I needed protection.
339
00:25:50,782 --> 00:25:53,250
Some of our love-hungry subscribers
got mixed up.
340
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:56,014
They were offering me deep-freezes
and vacuum cleaners.
341
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:59,318
- I'm surprised you refused.
- How do you know I did?
342
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:02,849
Certainly heavy coverage
on the unrequited passion set.
343
00:26:03,261 --> 00:26:06,924
Our love and romance edition, Charlie.
Even the crossword puzzle.
344
00:26:06,998 --> 00:26:08,966
But nothing from the Allison corner.
345
00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:12,335
Not interested in romance, Julie?
346
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:16,465
Not the kind that blossoms
on free gas stoves and television sets.
347
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:21,235
- About that Lonely Heart gag, I've got a...
- Steve, on the radio.
348
00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:27,652
- Julie. Hi, Charlie.
- Hi, Biddle.
349
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:31,086
Police call. Dead dame in a flat
on Third Avenue. Are you interested?
350
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:33,090
Well, she'd probably be a cheerful change.
351
00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:36,685
I'm still getting the icebox treatment
from the female on my left.
352
00:26:36,761 --> 00:26:40,162
After them scarecrows I shot last night,
I figure my luck's gotta change.
353
00:26:40,231 --> 00:26:43,428
Even dead, this dame's bound
to have more glamour.
354
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:45,467
Let's give her a look.
355
00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:48,801
Thanks for the coffee, kitten.
356
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:03,785
Another scarecrow. I'm batting goose eggs.
357
00:27:05,323 --> 00:27:07,848
Dames have got to make trouble
even when they die, don't they, pal?
358
00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:11,384
Yeah, water downstairs and water upstairs.
359
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:14,531
Probably wanted a room
with a swimming pool.
360
00:27:14,966 --> 00:27:16,866
Hey, Davis, what are you doing here?
361
00:27:16,935 --> 00:27:21,031
I just wanted to see if I couldn't get
to one of our calls before you did.
362
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:22,471
This isn't a homicide?
363
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:24,531
We got a new man
on the beat here, McCleary.
364
00:27:24,609 --> 00:27:26,167
He's built like you between the ears.
365
00:27:26,244 --> 00:27:29,975
He saw a hole in the back of the dame's head
and figured she was slugged.
366
00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:31,515
What's your guess, Lieutenant?
367
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:33,949
She put the hole
in the back of her head herself?
368
00:27:34,019 --> 00:27:36,783
Yeah, wise-eyes, that's it. That's it exactly.
369
00:27:36,855 --> 00:27:40,291
She slipped in the tub
and opened her skull on a faucet.
370
00:27:40,358 --> 00:27:43,953
- What was the lady's name, Sherlock?
- The landlady says Jane Jones.
371
00:27:44,029 --> 00:27:45,360
- Do you believe it?
- Yeah, I believe it.
372
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:47,762
I'm fresh out of nursery school.
373
00:27:48,466 --> 00:27:52,402
Jane Jones, alias Jane Doe.
Say, Dave, you're really humming.
374
00:27:53,204 --> 00:27:56,401
Look, nuisance, if you so much as make
these bedsprings squeak once again,
375
00:27:56,474 --> 00:28:00,308
- I'll throw you in the tub with the dame.
- Lieutenant, please.
376
00:28:04,616 --> 00:28:08,177
You're wrong, Dave.
She was murdered. Clear as your head.
377
00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:10,347
Murdered for her money.
378
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:13,949
Why, this lady must have spent easily
six or seven dollars a year on clothes.
379
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:15,492
Why don't you go home, McCleary?
380
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,462
There's nothing around here
to interest a big newsman like you.
381
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:27,827
Look, junior, keep your nose
in your own business, or I'll run you in
382
00:28:27,906 --> 00:28:31,137
- for obstruction, suspicion and vagrancy.
- Why, sure, Dave.
383
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:33,837
I just thought there might be something
in here to help identify her.
384
00:28:33,912 --> 00:28:35,243
No suitcase, huh?
385
00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:41,715
- In there, boys.
- Okay, Steve, I got all I need.
386
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:46,957
Thanks, Dave.
387
00:28:49,127 --> 00:28:52,062
- No, not you two again.
- What do you guys do,
388
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:54,758
smell these things
before the police call is even in?
389
00:28:54,833 --> 00:28:57,301
Try to forget your mugs.
There's a lady in the bathroom.
390
00:28:57,368 --> 00:29:00,531
- Yes, so knock before entering.
- Coming through.
391
00:29:10,381 --> 00:29:12,406
- What'd you pinch that for?
- Look familiar?
392
00:29:12,484 --> 00:29:15,544
I had them in front of me all night, didn't I?
393
00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:18,747
Hey, that's off a Lonely Hearts badge!
394
00:29:18,823 --> 00:29:22,554
Yeah. How many pictures
did you and the boys take at the ball?
395
00:29:22,627 --> 00:29:24,925
Three, maybe four hundred. I don't know.
396
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:27,260
Rush the print of Miss Bathtub
through the lab.
397
00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:28,594
Then check it against the others.
398
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:30,964
- See if you can match them up, okay?
- Sure.
399
00:29:31,035 --> 00:29:34,937
- Shouldn't take more than a week.
- Yeah, but I want it done in an hour.
400
00:29:35,006 --> 00:29:36,701
- I'll see you at the office.
- Where are you going?
401
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:39,903
I'm gonna hitch a ride to the morgue.
If you match them, call me.
402
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,674
How about a ride to the morgue, Pete?
403
00:30:04,969 --> 00:30:07,096
Hey, Needle Nellie, anybody home?
404
00:30:07,172 --> 00:30:08,662
Hey, handsome.
405
00:30:09,007 --> 00:30:11,271
- How you doing, sweetheart?
- Doing all right, handsome.
406
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:13,037
Come here and give us a kiss.
407
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,815
- How's business at the morgue, Nellie?
- Dead.
408
00:30:19,551 --> 00:30:21,178
Business is dead.
409
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:25,621
- It's good to see you, handsome.
- Likewise, sweetheart.
410
00:30:25,690 --> 00:30:27,385
A long time between dates.
411
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:30,621
But right now,
I come seeking your expert female advice.
412
00:30:30,695 --> 00:30:34,131
Anybody that's lived as long as me
can give it. Shoot.
413
00:30:34,732 --> 00:30:37,565
Nellie, if you had just one dress
to your name
414
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:39,535
and you'd fastened something onto it
with a safety pin,
415
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:40,969
and maybe you were in a hurry,
416
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,008
would you take time to undo the pin,
or would you rip the whole thing off?
417
00:30:44,075 --> 00:30:46,305
- This is a riddle?
- No, seriously.
418
00:30:46,377 --> 00:30:51,041
Well, if I had 10 dresses and the house
was burning down, I'd still undo the pin.
419
00:30:51,115 --> 00:30:52,639
Any lady would.
420
00:30:53,017 --> 00:30:55,485
That's what I figured.
I just wanted a woman to confirm it.
421
00:30:55,553 --> 00:30:57,453
I love you, Nellie. I love you.
422
00:30:57,522 --> 00:31:00,047
- Where you going, handsome?
- I gotta see the doc.
423
00:31:00,124 --> 00:31:01,955
Maybe I can get you some business, Nellie.
424
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:11,364
Did you get those ringside ducats
I sent you?
425
00:31:11,436 --> 00:31:13,427
Steve! Yeah, it was a great fight.
426
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:15,438
Mishke really tore that Haybelly apart,
didn't he?
427
00:31:15,506 --> 00:31:19,840
Had so much blood spattered on my glasses,
I missed the knockout punch.
428
00:31:20,478 --> 00:31:24,175
Look, Doc,
they just brought in an accidental death.
429
00:31:24,249 --> 00:31:27,047
- They're putting her in the freezer right now.
- So?
430
00:31:27,118 --> 00:31:30,110
So, I'd like you to give her
the onceover for me. An autopsy.
431
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:33,646
Accidents are out of my province.
You know that, Steve.
432
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:35,383
It's going to be
a great World Series this year.
433
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:37,087
Yeah, that it is.
434
00:31:37,528 --> 00:31:41,362
I don't suppose you'd be interested
in viewing the festivities from a box seat?
435
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:47,132
Are you trying to bribe a city official?
436
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:51,135
Right behind first base, Doc.
437
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:11,028
Yeah. Yeah, get some prints ready.
I think we've got our front page.
438
00:32:11,095 --> 00:32:14,792
Well, this is your lucky day. Drop back,
I want you to mark my racing form.
439
00:32:14,866 --> 00:32:16,766
Get the door, will you?
440
00:32:17,368 --> 00:32:20,064
Yeah, and don't forget, I smoke cigars.
441
00:32:20,838 --> 00:32:24,831
- Hey, Steve, let me wipe those off a little.
- Wipe them tomorrow.
442
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:32,008
Will you smile again
if I take you to dinner tonight?
443
00:32:32,083 --> 00:32:34,847
- A little celebration coming up.
- What's the celebration?
444
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:37,649
Another McCleary scoop.
Getting monotonous, isn't it?
445
00:32:37,722 --> 00:32:42,557
That dinner. A two-party celebration,
or are you bringing a friend?
446
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:44,559
Just you and me alone.
447
00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:47,825
I'll smile again.
What are the fragile treasures?
448
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:52,060
Very rare items.
Pictures of a dame with her mouth shut.
449
00:32:53,071 --> 00:32:55,972
- Joey, catch the door, will you?
- All right.
450
00:32:58,676 --> 00:33:01,270
I've been waiting a long time
for a chance to say this.
451
00:33:01,346 --> 00:33:03,439
- Stop the presses!
- Did you get a morning-after story
452
00:33:03,514 --> 00:33:05,004
on any of those couples
we married last night?
453
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:07,483
I got a story from one
of the Lonely Heart Ball guests, all right.
454
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:11,079
But she didn't get married last night.
She got murdered!
455
00:33:19,964 --> 00:33:23,263
- Who is she?
- A Jane Doe. Nobody knows her real name.
456
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:25,996
The police think she slipped in the bathtub
and bashed her head in,
457
00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:30,507
- or they did until a little while ago.
- But you knew better all the time?
458
00:33:30,575 --> 00:33:32,941
After Doc O'Hanlon got through
cutting her up for me.
459
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:36,538
She died between 9:00 and 12:00 last night,
before she went under in the tub.
460
00:33:36,614 --> 00:33:38,479
No water in her lungs.
461
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:40,283
Did he find anything else?
462
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:44,788
Yeah, her killer was a man, middle-aged,
fair complexion. Had brown hair.
463
00:33:45,390 --> 00:33:47,620
O'Hanlon found that
in scraping under her fingernails.
464
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:50,593
You ran into this
just by playing a hunch, huh?
465
00:33:50,661 --> 00:33:53,858
A string from a Lonely Heart badge
was on her dress in the closet.
466
00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:57,628
The badge had been torn off.
I followed through from there.
467
00:34:00,371 --> 00:34:04,364
Well, is this a story,
this Lonely Heart murdered after the ball?
468
00:34:04,575 --> 00:34:06,805
Can you sell papers with this?
469
00:34:10,248 --> 00:34:13,342
Baxter, Jordan, Allison,
get in here right away.
470
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:15,477
They didn't know her name, you said?
471
00:34:15,553 --> 00:34:18,920
Well, she called herself Jane Jones.
How phony can you get?
472
00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:20,014
We've just been struck by lightning.
473
00:34:20,091 --> 00:34:22,025
It's a great follow-up
for the Lonely Hearts Ball.
474
00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:24,118
Tell them about it, Steve.
475
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:30,997
We'll call her Miss Lonely Heart,
no other name. Alone in the city, friendless.
476
00:34:31,536 --> 00:34:34,801
She went to our shindig last night,
hunting for a soul mate.
477
00:34:34,872 --> 00:34:37,363
Maybe she found one, the wrong one.
478
00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:39,872
Anyway, she left early,
and sometime before midnight
479
00:34:39,944 --> 00:34:41,343
she was beaten to death in her room
480
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:44,540
by a brown-haired, middle-aged man
of fair complexion.
481
00:34:44,615 --> 00:34:46,480
A smash follow-up is right.
482
00:34:46,551 --> 00:34:49,247
The killer had a head full of brains.
Good nerves.
483
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,723
He lugged her to the bathroom,
stripped her, tossed the body in the tub.
484
00:34:54,459 --> 00:34:58,520
No. No, he stood the body in the tub.
Aimed, let go!
485
00:34:58,696 --> 00:35:03,190
Bang, her head cracks the faucet.
Almost perfect crime. Ordinary accident.
486
00:35:04,035 --> 00:35:06,936
He's working smartly,
a guy with imagination.
487
00:35:07,004 --> 00:35:10,963
He takes her slip, stockings,
washes them, hangs them up to dry.
488
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,000
He wipes his prints off everywhere.
489
00:35:13,077 --> 00:35:16,274
He starts getting rid of anything
that could identify her.
490
00:35:16,347 --> 00:35:18,907
He took a ring off her,
probably a wedding or engagement ring.
491
00:35:18,983 --> 00:35:22,111
- How do you know that?
- Whitish circle, third finger, left hand.
492
00:35:22,186 --> 00:35:25,587
- O'Hanlon spotted it at the morgue.
- All right, go on, go on.
493
00:35:25,656 --> 00:35:27,954
Well, he grabs any other personal items
that might identify her
494
00:35:28,025 --> 00:35:29,856
and throws them in her suitcase and blows.
495
00:35:29,927 --> 00:35:32,361
- How do you know she's got a suitcase?
- Every dame's got a suitcase.
496
00:35:32,430 --> 00:35:34,022
But there wasn't one
in Miss Lonely Heart's room.
497
00:35:34,098 --> 00:35:35,861
This'll kick up the circulation.
498
00:35:36,701 --> 00:35:40,137
We can make the 5:00 edition exclusive.
Steve can do the lead story.
499
00:35:40,204 --> 00:35:42,263
Jordan, I want three column cuts
of the dame's picture at the ball
500
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:44,433
and the murder photo.
Allison, write me a sob story,
501
00:35:44,509 --> 00:35:46,568
"Miss Lonely Heart
won't be Ionely anymore."
502
00:35:46,644 --> 00:35:47,736
Fine job, Steve.
503
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,303
Sure, it's a great job,
but we're gonna top it.
504
00:35:50,381 --> 00:35:51,439
How?
505
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,513
- Bury her.
- Bury her?
506
00:35:57,555 --> 00:35:59,682
The best story I ever dug up, and he tops it.
507
00:35:59,757 --> 00:36:02,157
By 5:00 tonight, Miss Lonely Heart
will be selling newspapers for us
508
00:36:02,226 --> 00:36:05,923
on every street corner in Manhattan.
Now, go on, get going.
509
00:37:42,126 --> 00:37:43,787
Be seeing you, Humpty.
510
00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:31,269
Look, I've shown you everything in the shop.
That's the last one I've got!
511
00:38:35,513 --> 00:38:36,605
Mark!
512
00:38:39,283 --> 00:38:41,217
- Mark, old boy!
- How are you, Charlie.
513
00:38:41,285 --> 00:38:45,085
What distasteful mission brings you to this
unholy neighborhood, Mark, my friend?
514
00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:46,589
I'm just looking around.
I like to keep my hand in,
515
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,124
even though I am strapped
to a desk right now.
516
00:38:48,192 --> 00:38:50,126
You wouldn't mean you're keeping
your hand in by working
517
00:38:50,194 --> 00:38:51,821
on this Lonely Heart murder,
would you, now, Mark?
518
00:38:51,896 --> 00:38:53,955
I've got a staff to take care of that for me.
519
00:38:54,031 --> 00:38:56,727
You can't kid an old newshound
like me, Mark.
520
00:38:56,801 --> 00:39:00,999
Still following our old formula,
first check the hock shops for a clue?
521
00:39:01,072 --> 00:39:03,336
Didn't wanna tip your hand
to those cops in there, did you?
522
00:39:03,407 --> 00:39:05,637
I tell you I'm not down here on business.
Now stop playing hawkshaw!
523
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:08,770
Let me show you Charlie Barnes
still has the master's touch
524
00:39:08,846 --> 00:39:11,713
- when it comes to following up a lead, Mark.
- Tell me about it later, will you,
525
00:39:11,782 --> 00:39:15,684
- when you come back to work for me?
- You're afraid I'll get drunk and tip the story.
526
00:39:15,753 --> 00:39:18,881
- I'm tapering off, Mark.
- That's fine, Charlie. I'll call you.
527
00:39:18,956 --> 00:39:23,825
Let me work this with you, Mark. I know
this whole district from gutter to rum-heads.
528
00:39:23,894 --> 00:39:26,226
Pete in the pawnshop's
an honored friend of mine.
529
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:27,992
- Yeah.
- I can get him to work with me and...
530
00:39:28,065 --> 00:39:30,898
- Hello, Charlie!
- Go away.
531
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:35,400
- Here, Charlie, here's something to count.
- I don't want a handout, Mark.
532
00:39:35,473 --> 00:39:37,498
- I want to work.
- You can pay me later. I'll call you, Charlie.
533
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:39,338
Mark, let me help...
534
00:40:13,544 --> 00:40:14,704
Hang onto them, Pete.
535
00:40:14,779 --> 00:40:17,873
We'll drop back payday
and look them over again.
536
00:40:25,022 --> 00:40:26,489
Them guys should wear glasses.
537
00:40:26,557 --> 00:40:29,185
They do so much looking,
but never no buying.
538
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:31,125
Get this for me, Pete.
539
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:34,356
Taking something out for a change
instead of putting it in, Charlie?
540
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:37,526
I admit to the novelty of the occasion, Peter.
541
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:50,109
- Hey, you didn't hock this with me.
- Doing a favor for a friend.
542
00:40:52,082 --> 00:40:56,178
Them cops. You know, if someday
they should buy something from me, I'd...
543
00:40:56,253 --> 00:40:59,620
No, that'd be bad. I'd drop dead.
544
00:41:02,226 --> 00:41:06,185
You know, Charlie, I ought to be
in some other kind of business.
545
00:41:06,697 --> 00:41:10,497
You really meet a very poor class of people
in this business.
546
00:41:10,768 --> 00:41:13,259
Not meaning anything personal,
you understand.
547
00:41:13,337 --> 00:41:16,773
But I'm always dealing with people
who are in trouble,
548
00:41:17,274 --> 00:41:21,608
people who gotta hock something.
People who gotta buy something cheap.
549
00:41:24,582 --> 00:41:28,109
I don't like cheap things.
I never did and I never will.
550
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:34,356
I should have been big fur man, maybe,
or big jewelry man.
551
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,651
Then I could deal with rich people.
552
00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:42,554
That's the kind of people
I really prefer to deal with.
553
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:47,694
- Hey! How much is on this ticket?
- Two bucks.
554
00:41:58,249 --> 00:41:59,841
Here, sign here.
555
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:08,424
You know, sometimes they say
even the rich people aren't happy.
556
00:42:08,492 --> 00:42:11,017
But how that could be, I don't know.
557
00:42:12,296 --> 00:42:15,857
Thank you, Peter.
Thank you for being in business!
558
00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:21,433
Thank you very much.
559
00:42:33,517 --> 00:42:35,041
A shot, Heeney.
560
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:38,614
You look like your blood pressure's boiling,
Charlie. What's the matter?
561
00:42:38,689 --> 00:42:40,680
The classic irony of the age, Heeney.
562
00:42:40,758 --> 00:42:43,659
Charlie Barnes, a stewbum,
rocking the newspaper world
563
00:42:43,727 --> 00:42:46,457
like he never did in all his sober days.
564
00:43:00,411 --> 00:43:02,208
- Composing.
- Yes, sir.
565
00:43:04,481 --> 00:43:07,712
Yes. Yes, madam,
I have two answers for you.
566
00:43:08,185 --> 00:43:11,313
First, you shouldn't talk
to strange men in bars.
567
00:43:11,388 --> 00:43:13,982
Second, because he asked you to marry him
568
00:43:14,058 --> 00:43:16,356
then hit you with a pretzel dish
when you refused
569
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:19,191
isn't conclusive proof
he's our Lonely Heart Killer,
570
00:43:19,263 --> 00:43:21,697
but thanks for calling, lady. Bye.
571
00:43:23,334 --> 00:43:26,326
Phony or not,
those tips belong to the police.
572
00:43:26,704 --> 00:43:30,299
When are you going to get rid of the idea
you're wearing an invisible badge?
573
00:43:30,374 --> 00:43:34,140
Julie Allison. Hello, Charlie. How are you?
574
00:43:36,714 --> 00:43:38,181
The Lonely Heart murder?
575
00:43:38,248 --> 00:43:42,844
And you've got to meet me right away.
We have to figure out how to handle this.
576
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,514
I know the killer, and it's dynamite.
577
00:43:46,757 --> 00:43:48,952
Well, Charlie,
that story is really Steve McCleary's.
578
00:43:49,026 --> 00:43:52,587
- I think you'd better talk to...
- No, no, Julie, I want you to have this.
579
00:43:52,663 --> 00:43:55,393
Now I can repay you, Julie child,
for everything.
580
00:43:55,466 --> 00:43:59,596
Julie, this is so... It's so tremendous,
it'll put both of us on top.
581
00:44:02,272 --> 00:44:04,035
What? What, Julie?
582
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:08,835
Okay, okay, both of you meet me.
583
00:44:08,912 --> 00:44:11,540
Maybe we will need
somebody like McCleary.
584
00:44:11,615 --> 00:44:14,175
Steve, Charlie says
he has information on the murder.
585
00:44:14,251 --> 00:44:18,654
- He's awfully excited about something.
- About two quarts full, probably.
586
00:44:19,890 --> 00:44:21,881
Yeah, Charlie, what's up?
587
00:44:22,726 --> 00:44:25,695
I wanted Julie to have this,
but she insists you be on in it.
588
00:44:25,763 --> 00:44:27,663
I mean you be in on it.
589
00:44:27,965 --> 00:44:30,297
- What's the matter, Charlie?
- No.
590
00:44:31,368 --> 00:44:34,462
- What? You're not sore, are you?
- No, go away!
591
00:44:36,006 --> 00:44:38,099
What? What have I got?
592
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:40,939
I've got the Lonely Heart Killer for you,
that's what!
593
00:44:41,011 --> 00:44:44,777
Gee, Charlie, that's great.
You getting him crocked so he'll confess?
594
00:44:44,848 --> 00:44:48,807
I haven't got him. I know who he is.
595
00:44:54,858 --> 00:44:55,950
What?
596
00:44:59,563 --> 00:45:03,465
Yes, I'm in a saloon.
I'm in Heeney's. But I'm not drunk.
597
00:45:04,034 --> 00:45:07,128
I've just taken the hottest story
of the century out of hock, and I'm gonna...
598
00:45:08,038 --> 00:45:11,064
He's really flying tonight.
See what your 10 bucks did?
599
00:45:11,141 --> 00:45:15,009
Stop treating him like some
weak-minded child. Listen to what he's got.
600
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:19,482
- He's not this excited for nothing.
- You know what he's got? The DTs.
601
00:45:19,616 --> 00:45:21,675
Charlie Barnes, tanked to the eyeballs,
602
00:45:21,752 --> 00:45:24,880
says he just took the Lonely Heart
murder solution out of hock.
603
00:45:26,056 --> 00:45:29,583
Hello, Charlie?
Still there? Let's start all over again.
604
00:45:30,294 --> 00:45:34,788
Listen, you mental midget. The only reason
I'm calling the <i>Express</i> is Julie Allison.
605
00:45:34,865 --> 00:45:37,732
Before I'd give this story
to an insolent young pup like you,
606
00:45:37,801 --> 00:45:39,792
I'd take it to the <i>Daily Leader!</i>
607
00:45:39,870 --> 00:45:42,304
Charlie's mad now.
Gonna sell it to the <i>Leader.</i>
608
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:46,069
- Hang up on the drunken slob.
- Julie? She just left.
609
00:45:46,477 --> 00:45:48,570
I guess we'll just have to read your story
in the <i>Leader</i> tomorrow.
610
00:45:48,645 --> 00:45:50,772
- So long, pal.
- Give me that.
611
00:45:51,815 --> 00:45:53,077
- Hello? Hello?
- Don't be silly, Julie.
612
00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:55,141
He'll just keep you up all night
listening to his fairytales.
613
00:45:55,219 --> 00:45:59,349
- Where was he calling from?
- Bellevue psycho ward, I think he said.
614
00:46:00,257 --> 00:46:01,747
Your 10 bucks.
615
00:47:13,697 --> 00:47:15,460
- Keep this for me, Heeney.
- Why, sure, Charlie.
616
00:47:15,532 --> 00:47:17,056
A couple hours.
617
00:47:17,868 --> 00:47:20,359
One more, Heeney. One for the road.
618
00:48:05,215 --> 00:48:06,739
Hello, Charlie.
619
00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:13,617
Mark. I thought you were still down
at the Bowery.
620
00:48:15,692 --> 00:48:18,024
I hear you got a story, Charlie.
621
00:48:18,195 --> 00:48:20,060
Where'd you hear that?
622
00:48:20,597 --> 00:48:25,364
- Isn't that what you told McCleary?
- Why, I was just schmoozing him, I...
623
00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:28,295
Lining him up for a little touch.
624
00:48:28,372 --> 00:48:31,432
I gave you some money.
What did you do with it?
625
00:48:31,775 --> 00:48:33,333
You didn't, by any chance,
find a pawn ticket
626
00:48:33,410 --> 00:48:36,379
- mixed in with the money, did you, Charlie?
- Pawn ticket? Why, I...
627
00:48:36,446 --> 00:48:40,177
Did you use the money
to get the story out of hock, Charlie?
628
00:48:41,218 --> 00:48:44,585
You've got something that belongs to me.
Where is it?
629
00:48:45,389 --> 00:48:47,220
You were on the way to the <i>Leader</i>
with some evidence.
630
00:48:47,291 --> 00:48:49,725
Where is it, Charlie? Where is it?
631
00:49:01,905 --> 00:49:04,738
It's a wonderful story, isn't it, Charlie?
632
00:49:05,509 --> 00:49:07,909
You wanted to be a big man, Mark.
633
00:49:08,745 --> 00:49:12,476
This will make you famous
beyond your most ambitious dreams.
634
00:49:13,884 --> 00:49:18,412
Great story?
I've waited all my life for a story like this.
635
00:49:19,456 --> 00:49:23,483
Well, you've got it, Charlie.
But you're not going to write it.
636
00:49:27,130 --> 00:49:30,622
You're crazy, Mark.
Twenty years you've covered the news.
637
00:49:30,701 --> 00:49:33,761
Seen the bright boys try this. It never works.
638
00:49:56,493 --> 00:49:59,587
We just heard about Charlie Barnes.
Rotten deal.
639
00:50:00,163 --> 00:50:04,293
It's hard when it's someone like Charlie
you've known for 22 years.
640
00:50:04,401 --> 00:50:06,164
I knew him 25 years.
641
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:10,167
I never expected to see him
laying on a slab in this place.
642
00:50:10,507 --> 00:50:15,001
Is that right, Doc? Was he found
in an alleyway across from the <i>Daily Leader?</i>
643
00:50:15,078 --> 00:50:17,205
- Steve...
- Yes, that's right.
644
00:50:17,447 --> 00:50:20,439
The <i>Daily Leader.</i> He had a story!
645
00:50:20,517 --> 00:50:23,509
But he was taking your clever,
insolent, fresh-guy advice
646
00:50:23,587 --> 00:50:27,216
- and giving it to the <i>Leader!</i>
- He was drunk, Julie. How could I know...
647
00:50:27,290 --> 00:50:29,656
Charlie Barnes never got so drunk
he didn't know a story!
648
00:50:29,726 --> 00:50:33,492
Or that he'd try to peddle
a phony tip to a newspaper! But you...
649
00:50:33,563 --> 00:50:35,394
You couldn't bother listening to him!
650
00:50:35,465 --> 00:50:38,798
You and that newsprint hero of yours,
Mark Chapman.
651
00:50:39,269 --> 00:50:41,032
You couldn't expect us to believe
that Charlie Barnes
652
00:50:41,104 --> 00:50:43,129
had any real information
on the murder, Julie.
653
00:50:43,206 --> 00:50:45,231
We still don't know that he did.
654
00:50:45,308 --> 00:50:49,711
If you and that stone-hearted, glory seeking,
"I am the great Mark Chapman"
655
00:50:49,780 --> 00:50:51,771
had thrown Charlie
the miserable crumb of respect
656
00:50:51,848 --> 00:50:54,510
of just listening to him, he'd be alive today!
657
00:50:54,584 --> 00:50:58,748
Julie, maybe you're right.
Maybe it is partly my fault Charlie's dead.
658
00:50:58,822 --> 00:51:01,882
I'm sorry. Really sorry. But what can I do?
659
00:51:02,392 --> 00:51:06,123
Don't go soft! Show Chapman
you're a chip off the old block.
660
00:51:06,596 --> 00:51:08,655
Have him give Charlie a fancy funeral.
661
00:51:08,732 --> 00:51:11,997
Great headline.
"The <i>Express</i> buries its cast-offs."
662
00:51:12,436 --> 00:51:14,097
It'll sell papers!
663
00:51:27,350 --> 00:51:31,912
Kenny, rewrite that one paragraph, will you?
Allison had a bad night. Yeah.
664
00:51:32,289 --> 00:51:35,087
I just got yesterday's figures
from circulation, Mark.
665
00:51:35,158 --> 00:51:38,491
Six hundred and ninety-six thousand.
You're moving up there.
666
00:51:38,562 --> 00:51:41,292
Looks as though it's going to cost
the <i>Express</i> some bonus money before long.
667
00:51:41,364 --> 00:51:44,765
Quicker than you can say,
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Stockholder Rawley!"
668
00:51:44,835 --> 00:51:46,666
We're only starting,
Mr. Madison, only starting.
669
00:51:46,736 --> 00:51:48,260
That's the spirit!
670
00:51:48,338 --> 00:51:50,272
When you get to the editor's chair,
remember one thing.
671
00:51:50,340 --> 00:51:54,743
You're a hero with a lifetime job,
as long as the circulation is rising.
672
00:51:55,045 --> 00:51:59,379
- What have you got there?
- Something that will keep circulation rising.
673
00:51:59,716 --> 00:52:01,581
Charlie Barnes' story.
674
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:04,378
What are you talking about?
675
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:06,820
Charlie wasn't near the <i>Daily Leader</i>
by accident, Mark.
676
00:52:06,890 --> 00:52:08,790
He had something to print.
677
00:52:08,859 --> 00:52:11,419
I couldn't find it in his effects
at the morgue this morning,
678
00:52:11,495 --> 00:52:15,932
but I found it at Heeney's bar,
the joint Charlie phoned from last night.
679
00:52:16,233 --> 00:52:19,134
Half a pawnshop ticket was still on the bag.
680
00:52:19,236 --> 00:52:21,431
Pete's Hock Shop. I checked it.
681
00:52:21,505 --> 00:52:24,838
Charlie came in the pawnshop last night
with a claim check.
682
00:52:24,908 --> 00:52:27,536
Said he was unhocking it for a friend.
683
00:52:28,478 --> 00:52:31,743
Well, what's in the bag?
Miss Lonely Heart's name and address?
684
00:52:32,916 --> 00:52:36,477
Better than that, Mark.
Much better than that.
685
00:52:38,054 --> 00:52:40,579
A picture of the guy who killed her.
686
00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:52,362
A picture?
You can't even see the guy's face!
687
00:52:52,435 --> 00:52:54,596
What's the matter, Mark?
This is the first real lead we've got.
688
00:52:54,671 --> 00:52:56,263
The way you talked,
I thought we had it all sewed up.
689
00:52:56,339 --> 00:52:59,604
Sure, it's a lead, but it's a thin one.
How much does this give us?
690
00:52:59,676 --> 00:53:04,773
Well, we're certain the dame had a husband.
They were married in 1931 in Connecticut.
691
00:53:05,248 --> 00:53:09,048
- The husband's the guy who killed her.
- How do you make that?
692
00:53:09,419 --> 00:53:11,580
The ring mark on her finger
must have been a wedding ring.
693
00:53:11,655 --> 00:53:14,055
The inscription inside
could have identified him.
694
00:53:14,124 --> 00:53:16,388
And he grabbed the pawn ticket
figuring she'd hocked some belongings
695
00:53:16,459 --> 00:53:18,893
- that might peg him.
- Makes sense.
696
00:53:19,396 --> 00:53:22,194
Charlie got the pawn ticket from the killer.
697
00:53:22,265 --> 00:53:25,701
He must have been with him sometime,
someplace, yesterday.
698
00:53:25,769 --> 00:53:28,329
A lot of people
could have seen them together, right?
699
00:53:28,405 --> 00:53:29,770
Could have.
700
00:53:31,141 --> 00:53:33,609
Splash this picture
on the front page tonight.
701
00:53:33,677 --> 00:53:35,975
Offer a reward for information.
702
00:53:39,149 --> 00:53:41,674
"Lonely Heart Killer strikes again."
703
00:53:43,153 --> 00:53:45,246
When you write the story,
say that Barnes was working on this case
704
00:53:45,322 --> 00:53:46,346
undercover for the <i>Express.</i>
705
00:53:46,423 --> 00:53:49,620
He got too close to the killer
and died in the line of duty.
706
00:53:49,693 --> 00:53:50,887
Mark, I don't know, it...
707
00:53:50,961 --> 00:53:54,863
Nobody can deny it. It'll help sell papers.
We'll offer $1,000.
708
00:53:55,232 --> 00:53:58,360
Look, kid, don't pin your hopes
on anybody being able
709
00:53:58,435 --> 00:54:02,030
to spot the guy from this.
Unless they got x-ray eyes.
710
00:54:02,339 --> 00:54:04,034
I'm sure Charlie connected
the guy in the picture
711
00:54:04,107 --> 00:54:08,601
with the bird who gave him the pawn ticket.
I'm going to fine-tooth the Bowery myself.
712
00:54:08,678 --> 00:54:11,374
It's even money
that's where Charlie ran into our man.
713
00:54:11,448 --> 00:54:12,972
Good luck, kid.
714
00:54:44,314 --> 00:54:47,875
- Well, I got them for you, McCleary.
- Good work, Heeney.
715
00:55:05,368 --> 00:55:09,634
Well, this does it. I'll never touch
another drop the rest of my life.
716
00:55:17,547 --> 00:55:19,515
'Course some of them
been sucking on the bottle all night,
717
00:55:19,582 --> 00:55:21,516
but they can still stand up.
718
00:55:21,584 --> 00:55:24,747
- They all knew Charlie?
- Yeah, they all knew him.
719
00:55:25,088 --> 00:55:29,081
If you give McCleary here
any bum information, I'll brain you.
720
00:55:29,793 --> 00:55:31,818
And I might even do worse.
721
00:55:31,961 --> 00:55:35,522
No more free shots
when you're seeing little red spiders.
722
00:55:35,999 --> 00:55:40,095
How many of you boys saw Charlie Barnes
the day he was killed? Raise your hands.
723
00:55:40,170 --> 00:55:44,197
All right, raise your mitts,
them that seen Charlie day before yesterday.
724
00:55:44,274 --> 00:55:45,366
Good.
725
00:55:48,478 --> 00:55:50,446
- Where did you see him?
- See who?
726
00:55:50,513 --> 00:55:54,279
- This guy must be used to talking to mirrors.
- Charlie Barnes.
727
00:55:54,351 --> 00:55:58,253
I seen him come out of a joint
where he flopped in the morning.
728
00:56:00,824 --> 00:56:02,815
You, where'd you see him?
729
00:56:03,460 --> 00:56:05,826
- Humpty O'Dougal's saloon.
- What time?
730
00:56:05,895 --> 00:56:10,389
In the afternoon. Late in the afternoon.
Charlie had a nice little bun on.
731
00:56:10,934 --> 00:56:11,992
Was he with anybody?
732
00:56:12,068 --> 00:56:14,036
With anybody?
Sure, he was with somebody.
733
00:56:14,104 --> 00:56:16,834
Charlie never drank by himself
if he had a little cash on him.
734
00:56:16,906 --> 00:56:19,966
- Well, do you know the guy he was with?
- Certainly I know who he was with.
735
00:56:20,043 --> 00:56:23,206
- Well, who was it?
- Me. He sprung me three slugs.
736
00:56:29,686 --> 00:56:32,678
When did you see him?
When did you see him?
737
00:56:36,159 --> 00:56:38,491
- This morning.
- Throw him out of here.
738
00:56:38,561 --> 00:56:41,086
- Wait a minute!
- What are you talking about?
739
00:56:41,164 --> 00:56:44,691
- Now, is there any more jokers in the crowd?
- I seen him.
740
00:56:45,735 --> 00:56:49,136
Yeah? Well, go on. Where'd you see him?
741
00:56:51,074 --> 00:56:53,770
On the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
742
00:56:53,843 --> 00:56:57,472
- Go on, go on.
- Nothing. He was working a sucker.
743
00:56:58,014 --> 00:57:01,177
- Giving him the pally act, that's all.
- Now think hard.
744
00:57:01,251 --> 00:57:04,243
Do you remember the sucker?
Do you remember what he looks like?
745
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,754
- Maybe.
- What do you mean, "Maybe"?
746
00:57:06,890 --> 00:57:10,826
- Maybe for 50 bucks.
- Why you...
747
00:57:11,995 --> 00:57:15,362
Do you think you could remember
for 1,000 bucks?
748
00:57:17,267 --> 00:57:19,258
Who could tell who he is?
749
00:57:19,469 --> 00:57:22,461
Can you describe
the man you saw Charlie with?
750
00:57:22,906 --> 00:57:26,273
Do I get $1,000 if I do?
751
00:57:26,443 --> 00:57:28,968
You do. If and when we find the guy.
752
00:57:29,379 --> 00:57:32,212
- Sure, I can describe him.
- Well, go ahead.
753
00:57:34,918 --> 00:57:37,819
- You paying the reward?
- No, but my boss is.
754
00:57:38,655 --> 00:57:41,647
- Then I'll describe it to him.
- Okay. Come on.
755
00:57:41,791 --> 00:57:44,385
Rush this over to the composing room.
756
00:57:44,761 --> 00:57:48,492
Kenny, see if you can figure out
a heading for that rubbish.
757
00:57:48,698 --> 00:57:50,723
Connie! Connie, take this.
758
00:57:58,475 --> 00:57:59,806
Wait here.
759
00:58:13,623 --> 00:58:15,318
Look, Lieutenant,
just refer the captain to me.
760
00:58:15,391 --> 00:58:18,189
I'll tell him he's cropping at the best
homicide man he ever had on the force.
761
00:58:18,261 --> 00:58:20,491
If he doesn't know that,
he's deaf, dumb and blind.
762
00:58:20,563 --> 00:58:22,861
Yeah, never mind the malarkey, Chapman!
763
00:58:22,932 --> 00:58:24,900
The next time
you people pull a stunt like this,
764
00:58:24,968 --> 00:58:27,596
I'll throw both you and McCleary in the can!
765
00:58:28,271 --> 00:58:31,832
Okay, Lieutenant, okay.
I give you my word. Goodbye, pal.
766
00:58:33,042 --> 00:58:35,340
Davis is screaming because we gave him
the suitcase only a half hour
767
00:58:35,411 --> 00:58:36,878
before he read it in the <i>Express.</i>
768
00:58:36,946 --> 00:58:39,437
Well, I've got something
that ought to make him happy again.
769
00:58:39,516 --> 00:58:40,744
Not another suitcase?
770
00:58:40,817 --> 00:58:44,776
A guy who can identify the man
Charlie got the pawn ticket from.
771
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:51,384
Hey, Bailey. Come in here.
772
00:59:00,103 --> 00:59:03,561
He wouldn't describe the guy to me.
He needed the boss.
773
00:59:06,643 --> 00:59:08,304
You the boss?
774
00:59:09,379 --> 00:59:13,611
Yeah, and don't waste my time.
Where'd you see this guy with Charlie?
775
00:59:15,818 --> 00:59:18,446
Down the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
776
00:59:19,956 --> 00:59:22,151
You say you can describe him?
777
00:59:41,844 --> 00:59:44,335
Well, go on. What did he look like?
778
00:59:54,057 --> 00:59:55,786
Stand up, will you?
779
01:00:04,467 --> 01:00:07,766
Yeah, just how I figured.
780
01:00:08,805 --> 01:00:10,432
You figured what?
781
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,272
He was your size,
782
01:00:17,313 --> 01:00:18,678
your build.
783
01:00:19,115 --> 01:00:21,345
Could have been as old as you.
784
01:00:21,951 --> 01:00:26,217
- Is that all?
- All you asked me was to describe him.
785
01:00:26,723 --> 01:00:30,625
That was no description!
That could fit a million guys in this town.
786
01:00:30,693 --> 01:00:34,060
- Even me.
- Well, how about the reward?
787
01:00:34,130 --> 01:00:38,123
Here, take this down to the cashier
and pick yourself up five bucks.
788
01:00:38,201 --> 01:00:41,261
- Show him where it is, Steve.
- Come on, Bailey.
789
01:01:30,186 --> 01:01:31,517
Hey, Baxter, where's Julie?
790
01:01:31,587 --> 01:01:34,078
She came in this morning,
banged this out on her typewriter,
791
01:01:34,157 --> 01:01:36,216
and told me to give it to Chapman.
792
01:01:36,292 --> 01:01:38,385
- What is it?
- Her resignation.
793
01:01:38,461 --> 01:01:42,261
I figured I'd hang onto it a day or so.
Maybe she'd cool off.
794
01:01:42,632 --> 01:01:46,261
I'm sure glad you did.
I'll take care of it for you, okay?
795
01:01:49,238 --> 01:01:50,762
Baxter, thanks.
796
01:02:00,883 --> 01:02:03,647
- Hello, Mrs. Allison.
- Well, hello, Steve. Come in.
797
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,051
Thank you.
798
01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:14,458
I have a pot of coffee in the kitchen.
I'd better see to it.
799
01:02:14,664 --> 01:02:16,564
Can I say a few words to you?
800
01:02:16,632 --> 01:02:19,533
Without getting hit with a table
or something?
801
01:02:19,602 --> 01:02:22,230
Speak your piece and get it over with.
802
01:02:22,338 --> 01:02:25,535
I just got rocked
with a bad piece of news, Julie.
803
01:02:25,742 --> 01:02:28,040
I heard about your resignation.
804
01:02:28,444 --> 01:02:31,845
Well, I can't imagine
why you'd shed any tears over it.
805
01:02:31,914 --> 01:02:33,211
Well, for what it's worth,
806
01:02:33,282 --> 01:02:36,308
your resigning knocks the props
out of a lot of things for me.
807
01:02:37,754 --> 01:02:40,655
That couldn't have come
from Steve McCleary.
808
01:02:41,791 --> 01:02:44,851
Okay, pass it. But I didn't figure
your burn at Chapman and me
809
01:02:44,927 --> 01:02:48,454
would be bigger than your wanting
to do something about Charlie's murder.
810
01:02:49,632 --> 01:02:52,829
Don't start playing me
for a hollow-headed female now, Steve.
811
01:02:52,902 --> 01:02:55,871
Your only interest, and Chapman's,
in Charlie's death is exploiting it
812
01:02:55,938 --> 01:02:59,601
- for all the circulation jumping it's worth!
- Julie, I'm not digging on a story now
813
01:02:59,675 --> 01:03:03,577
just for the school-boy bang of seeing
my name over a sensational yarn.
814
01:03:03,646 --> 01:03:06,672
Yeah, that's right, I had to get hit pretty hard
before I smartened up.
815
01:03:06,749 --> 01:03:09,309
But now I'm leveling
on the Charlie Barnes business.
816
01:03:13,422 --> 01:03:18,257
Well, if I can believe what I'm hearing,
this certainly is a different McCleary.
817
01:03:19,328 --> 01:03:20,955
I've been working night and day.
818
01:03:21,030 --> 01:03:24,227
All I've done is run the local leads
to a dead end.
819
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:29,294
There's only one gimmick left to follow.
This picture, the marriage in Connecticut.
820
01:03:29,472 --> 01:03:33,067
It's odd the person who married them
hasn't recognized it.
821
01:03:33,142 --> 01:03:36,077
Unless he's dead or hasn't seen the picture.
822
01:03:36,579 --> 01:03:40,310
Yeah, I thought of that angle, too.
But it's a million-to-one shot.
823
01:03:40,383 --> 01:03:43,716
A guy would have to be an elephant
to remember a face after 21 years.
824
01:03:44,787 --> 01:03:48,314
Tell him about the elephant we met
on Fifth Avenue, about four years ago.
825
01:03:48,391 --> 01:03:50,791
We were walking along the street when,
right out of the blue,
826
01:03:50,860 --> 01:03:53,021
a complete stranger stopped me.
827
01:03:53,095 --> 01:03:56,656
It turned out to be the little preacher
who married Julie's father and me
828
01:03:56,732 --> 01:03:59,724
in Portland, Maine, 23 years before!
829
01:04:01,404 --> 01:04:06,603
- And he actually was able to recognize you?
- And I'd put on a little weight since then.
830
01:04:07,210 --> 01:04:10,270
They say a New Englander
seldom forgets a face.
831
01:04:10,980 --> 01:04:13,813
Crazy odds, but what can we lose?
832
01:04:15,051 --> 01:04:16,416
Yeah, get this picture
833
01:04:16,485 --> 01:04:19,750
to every churchman, judge
and justice of the peace in Connecticut.
834
01:04:19,822 --> 01:04:24,259
- It's certainly worth trying.
- It's a big job. Compiling lists,
835
01:04:24,527 --> 01:04:26,620
- checking out leads.
- It can be done.
836
01:04:26,696 --> 01:04:28,687
The two of us could handle it, Julie.
837
01:04:29,732 --> 01:04:32,667
Well, I'd like to, Steve, but I've resigned.
838
01:04:32,735 --> 01:04:36,637
And I'd sooner drop dead
than ask Mark Chapman for my job back.
839
01:04:43,312 --> 01:04:45,803
- You dog!
- It never got past Baxter.
840
01:04:46,883 --> 01:04:48,908
A list of churches in each town
is no problem.
841
01:04:48,985 --> 01:04:52,318
The judges and JPs we can get
from the state legal directory in Hartford.
842
01:04:52,388 --> 01:04:54,720
Yeah, you start packing.
Enough for a couple of weeks.
843
01:04:54,790 --> 01:04:56,451
I'm going to the office
and get the lab boys started
844
01:04:56,525 --> 01:04:57,787
on knocking out a few hundred circulars.
845
01:04:57,860 --> 01:05:00,260
But suppose Chapman says no
to my working with you on it?
846
01:05:00,329 --> 01:05:03,492
Why should he? Anyway, I'm not going
to tell him anything until we're ready to go.
847
01:05:03,566 --> 01:05:04,658
Tonight sometime.
848
01:05:04,734 --> 01:05:08,898
Mom, you think it's safe for me to travel
out of state at night with this young man?
849
01:05:08,971 --> 01:05:12,702
Just so he doesn't misconstrue
the meaning of "freedom of the press."
850
01:05:12,775 --> 01:05:16,336
Hey, you wonderful woman.
I'll check with you for dinner.
851
01:05:21,417 --> 01:05:23,544
Steve, this is shot-in-the-dark stuff.
852
01:05:23,619 --> 01:05:26,452
Mark, more rabbit-brained ideas than this
have paid off.
853
01:05:26,522 --> 01:05:28,956
Your hottest lead is right here in town
where the murders were committed.
854
01:05:29,025 --> 01:05:32,290
Yeah, our hottest lead was in town,
but it dried up like a puddle in July.
855
01:05:32,361 --> 01:05:33,589
You're looking for a mental marvel,
856
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:36,154
a guy who can recognize somebody
he'd seen for 15 or 20 minutes
857
01:05:36,232 --> 01:05:38,757
at a wedding ceremony
he performed 21 years ago.
858
01:05:38,834 --> 01:05:41,394
How do we know he only saw them
for 15 or 20 minutes?
859
01:05:41,470 --> 01:05:44,200
Maybe they were members of his church
or were married by a judge
860
01:05:44,273 --> 01:05:46,298
or a justice in their own town.
861
01:05:46,375 --> 01:05:48,605
Steve, you're off
on a needle-in-a-haystack hunt.
862
01:05:48,678 --> 01:05:51,078
You can find a needle in a haystack
if you look long enough.
863
01:05:51,147 --> 01:05:53,775
You don't think I'm gonna let you
hang around up there indefinitely, do you?
864
01:05:53,849 --> 01:05:55,680
You won't have to. A week, probably.
865
01:05:55,751 --> 01:05:58,982
Julie Allison's coming along to help me.
It's all arranged.
866
01:05:59,055 --> 01:06:02,456
It's all arranged. And that five grand reward.
You arranged that, too?
867
01:06:02,525 --> 01:06:06,586
No, you did, or will.
Mark, what's eating you?
868
01:06:07,096 --> 01:06:09,257
I'm only checking out every possible angle.
869
01:06:09,332 --> 01:06:11,061
Kid, I don't want you to beat your brains out.
870
01:06:11,133 --> 01:06:13,033
We can get just so much
out of this Lonely Hearts story,
871
01:06:13,102 --> 01:06:16,128
and then we'll start easing it off
and let it die a natural death.
872
01:06:16,205 --> 01:06:19,368
Let it die? Mark, we let Charlie Barnes die!
873
01:06:20,509 --> 01:06:22,909
The least we can do now is to find his killer.
874
01:06:23,679 --> 01:06:26,443
You're the guy who pounded into me,
"Never give up till you've got the story."
875
01:06:26,515 --> 01:06:28,449
Well, I'm not quitting on this one
until I've licked it.
876
01:06:28,517 --> 01:06:30,985
You can reach me
at the Lenox Hotel in Hartford.
877
01:06:56,579 --> 01:06:57,978
Long distance.
878
01:06:58,047 --> 01:06:59,844
I want some information.
879
01:06:59,915 --> 01:07:01,906
A telephone number
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
880
01:07:01,984 --> 01:07:05,181
The name is Hacker. He's a judge.
I don't remember his first name.
881
01:07:05,254 --> 01:07:07,222
You wish to place a call to this party?
882
01:07:07,289 --> 01:07:10,383
No, no. Not yet, that is.
I just want to get his telephone number.
883
01:07:10,459 --> 01:07:12,188
<i>One moment, please.</i>
884
01:07:16,799 --> 01:07:20,235
Hello? The Middlebury operator
has no listing for anyone by that name.
885
01:07:21,037 --> 01:07:22,436
There isn't?
886
01:07:23,305 --> 01:07:25,296
Middlebury's a small town.
Will you ask the operator
887
01:07:25,374 --> 01:07:26,966
if she knows anything
about Judge Hacker at all?
888
01:07:27,043 --> 01:07:29,273
Is he deceased, moved away, or what?
889
01:07:29,345 --> 01:07:31,074
<i>One moment, please.</i>
890
01:07:35,518 --> 01:07:38,510
Hello? The local operator
has been in Middlebury for five years
891
01:07:38,587 --> 01:07:40,646
and knows no one
by the name of Judge Hacker.
892
01:07:40,723 --> 01:07:42,384
That's all the information she can give us.
893
01:07:43,959 --> 01:07:45,153
Thanks.
894
01:08:32,908 --> 01:08:35,308
No, Reverend,
I'm afraid that's not our couple.
895
01:08:36,412 --> 01:08:39,040
You may be positive, Reverend,
but you're mistaken.
896
01:08:39,115 --> 01:08:41,515
The woman in the photo we sent you
is dead.
897
01:08:41,584 --> 01:08:43,916
Thank you for calling, Reverend.
898
01:08:46,288 --> 01:08:48,153
You don't have to tell me.
899
01:08:48,224 --> 01:08:50,852
It's written all over
your bright and shining face.
900
01:08:50,926 --> 01:08:53,759
A 190-mile drive
to have a whack-head tell me
901
01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:56,423
that both the people in our circular
died a year ago.
902
01:08:57,766 --> 01:09:01,896
New Englanders remember, all right.
Every face is familiar to them.
903
01:09:04,406 --> 01:09:07,671
Hello? Just a minute, here's Steve.
904
01:09:08,110 --> 01:09:10,340
It's that man again. Every day.
905
01:09:10,412 --> 01:09:13,313
Does he think we'll keep it a big fat secret
if we find something?
906
01:09:15,284 --> 01:09:16,649
Yeah, Mark.
907
01:09:18,487 --> 01:09:20,819
Nothing but an aching back
and some interesting meetings
908
01:09:20,890 --> 01:09:22,824
with jelly-brained screwballs.
909
01:09:22,892 --> 01:09:26,555
You've had enough time, Steve. Ten days.
Admit it's a dud. Come on home.
910
01:09:26,629 --> 01:09:29,325
Two more days, Mark.
We'll stick it out to the end of the week.
911
01:09:29,899 --> 01:09:33,391
Get out of the haystack. It's easier
to find the needles at the scene of the crime.
912
01:09:33,469 --> 01:09:34,936
I'll see you.
913
01:09:35,771 --> 01:09:39,832
Two more days. I don't even know myself
why we're sticking around.
914
01:09:41,043 --> 01:09:42,772
Anything there that sounds good?
915
01:09:44,180 --> 01:09:47,946
I'll read you a fair sample.
From a J.P. Waterbury.
916
01:09:49,084 --> 01:09:52,451
"Send me $5,000
and I will tell you names of people."
917
01:09:52,655 --> 01:09:54,646
A new head I'll send him.
918
01:09:55,658 --> 01:09:58,320
I've got a headache.
I think I'll lie down for a while.
919
01:09:59,728 --> 01:10:01,855
Why don't you lie down here?
920
01:10:07,269 --> 01:10:08,998
I'll go to my room.
921
01:10:15,344 --> 01:10:17,744
McCleary. Okay, put him on.
922
01:10:18,681 --> 01:10:20,808
A guy calling from Franklin.
923
01:10:21,283 --> 01:10:23,308
Hello? Yeah, that's right.
924
01:10:25,955 --> 01:10:27,149
You do, huh?
925
01:10:29,258 --> 01:10:31,590
- You've got what?
- What is it?
926
01:10:31,827 --> 01:10:35,456
- Just a minute.
- I have the other picture right before me!
927
01:10:35,864 --> 01:10:41,131
Yes, I married them July 19th, 1931,
over in Middlebury.
928
01:10:42,438 --> 01:10:44,702
A funny thing. What's that?
929
01:10:48,143 --> 01:10:49,872
Judge Elroy Hacker.
930
01:10:50,379 --> 01:10:52,404
We'll be there in two hours, Judge.
931
01:10:52,481 --> 01:10:54,244
Sit tight
and keep your mouth shut about this.
932
01:10:54,316 --> 01:10:55,374
Bye.
933
01:10:55,584 --> 01:10:59,247
Go on, get packed.
He's liable to drop dead on us or something.
934
01:11:55,110 --> 01:11:58,102
For a man who can sit there
and watch his success increasing daily,
935
01:11:58,180 --> 01:12:00,011
you're looking much too troubled, Mark.
936
01:12:00,082 --> 01:12:03,210
It's just that these minor problems
always seem to require major thinking.
937
01:12:03,285 --> 01:12:06,379
Well, perhaps we can balance
the unpleasant with the pleasant.
938
01:12:06,455 --> 01:12:09,390
That conversation we had the other day
about your buying company stock.
939
01:12:09,458 --> 01:12:10,823
- Yeah?
- I just thought I'd tell you,
940
01:12:10,893 --> 01:12:14,920
- I think we can swing that.
- That's fine, Mr. Madison, just great.
941
01:12:14,997 --> 01:12:17,659
Well, there doesn't seem to be any doubt
you'll reach that bonus figure.
942
01:12:17,733 --> 01:12:19,064
It'll be pleasant having you as a partner,
943
01:12:19,134 --> 01:12:20,863
- so to speak, in the paper, Mark.
- Thanks.
944
01:12:20,936 --> 01:12:22,801
- Good night.
- Good night.
945
01:14:17,953 --> 01:14:19,147
Sorry to keep you this late, Mark,
946
01:14:19,221 --> 01:14:21,621
but we got hit with a mess of traffic
on the way in.
947
01:14:21,690 --> 01:14:23,157
Your wire sounded important.
948
01:14:23,225 --> 01:14:26,456
I found that needle,
or rather the man with the needle.
949
01:14:26,528 --> 01:14:29,725
Judge Elroy Hacker,
Mark Chapman, Managing Editor.
950
01:14:29,865 --> 01:14:32,925
- Glad to meet you, Judge.
- How do, Mr. Chapman?
951
01:14:33,902 --> 01:14:35,893
- Sit down, Judge.
- Thanks.
952
01:14:36,772 --> 01:14:38,672
Does the judge's needle sew anything up?
953
01:14:38,740 --> 01:14:41,231
Everything but knotting the thread
at the end.
954
01:14:41,310 --> 01:14:42,937
I mean the noose.
955
01:14:44,046 --> 01:14:45,240
What have you got?
956
01:14:45,314 --> 01:14:48,511
The identity of Mrs. Lonely Heart
and her husband.
957
01:14:49,117 --> 01:14:51,711
Judge Hacker married them
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
958
01:14:51,787 --> 01:14:54,688
Their names are Charlotte and George Grant.
959
01:14:58,827 --> 01:14:59,953
Did you get that, Mark?
960
01:15:00,028 --> 01:15:03,327
The name of the Lonely Heart Killer
is George Grant.
961
01:15:03,699 --> 01:15:05,530
Yeah, I heard you. Go on.
962
01:15:05,601 --> 01:15:08,229
Strike two. The judge is sure
he can identify George Grant
963
01:15:08,303 --> 01:15:10,203
when he sees him again.
964
01:15:10,806 --> 01:15:13,969
You see, I took this picture myself.
965
01:15:14,710 --> 01:15:17,338
A little extra service
the judge gave his bridal couples.
966
01:15:17,412 --> 01:15:20,711
Yes. I'd send them a print
and put one in my own scrapbook.
967
01:15:20,782 --> 01:15:22,579
The judge even furnished
the "just married" sign.
968
01:15:22,651 --> 01:15:24,118
Judge, you said
you married them in Middlebury,
969
01:15:24,186 --> 01:15:27,883
- but Steve found you in Franklin.
- I retired seven years ago.
970
01:15:27,956 --> 01:15:31,323
I'm partial to fishing,
so I moved over on the coast.
971
01:15:32,027 --> 01:15:34,928
I only happened
to see your circular by chance,
972
01:15:34,997 --> 01:15:37,830
in the office of a justice friend of mine.
973
01:15:40,602 --> 01:15:43,571
I always said you were born
in a field of shamrocks.
974
01:15:43,639 --> 01:15:47,769
Sure. The McClearys raised their kids
on nothing but rabbits' feet.
975
01:15:48,410 --> 01:15:52,471
Judge, what makes you so sure
you can identify George Grant today?
976
01:15:54,383 --> 01:15:57,250
Well, mainly because right after
I took that wedding picture,
977
01:15:57,319 --> 01:16:00,482
this Grant got vexed at his wife
about something.
978
01:16:01,590 --> 01:16:05,651
I can remember his voice, snapping at her.
His face getting red...
979
01:16:07,696 --> 01:16:11,598
I know what's in your bonnet, Mark.
We still have to find George Grant.
980
01:16:11,667 --> 01:16:14,363
A needle's nothing but a hunk of steel
if you've got nothing to sew.
981
01:16:14,436 --> 01:16:15,801
We just need the thread.
982
01:16:15,871 --> 01:16:18,203
I figure we'll pick that up
right here in New York.
983
01:16:18,273 --> 01:16:21,367
When the police line up all the local
George Grants for the judge to look over.
984
01:16:23,745 --> 01:16:27,416
That's Julie. I dropped her off
at headquarters to tell Davis what we've got.
985
01:16:29,251 --> 01:16:32,618
Friend Davis is steaming
like a pressure cooker, as I said he would.
986
01:16:32,688 --> 01:16:33,746
He'll simmer down.
987
01:16:33,822 --> 01:16:36,484
So will your
lining up the George Grants idea.
988
01:16:36,558 --> 01:16:40,255
Davis says he'll do nothing until you turn
Judge Hacker over to the police.
989
01:16:40,329 --> 01:16:42,763
- Steve, you can't hold...
- Relax, doll. He'll see the judge later.
990
01:16:42,831 --> 01:16:44,924
Not tonight he won't.
The judge is our exclusive beat.
991
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,230
Nobody gets to him
till our story breaks tomorrow.
992
01:16:47,302 --> 01:16:49,031
I don't trust cops.
993
01:16:51,607 --> 01:16:52,904
You and Julie start writing the story.
994
01:16:52,975 --> 01:16:56,308
I'll put the judge in a side-street hotel
where nobody will get to him.
995
01:16:56,378 --> 01:16:57,902
Come on, Judge.
996
01:17:01,316 --> 01:17:03,648
I'll just wait for Mr. McCleary.
997
01:17:04,987 --> 01:17:06,921
He was going to put me up at his place.
998
01:17:06,989 --> 01:17:08,581
That's the first place
the wolves will start baying.
999
01:17:08,657 --> 01:17:10,921
You better come with me, Judge.
1000
01:17:10,993 --> 01:17:15,157
No, I don't think it would be wise
for me to go with you, Mr. Grant.
1001
01:17:15,731 --> 01:17:18,325
- Mister...
- Chapman, Judge. Not Grant.
1002
01:17:18,734 --> 01:17:21,294
You'd better give your brain a rest.
You're gonna need it.
1003
01:17:21,370 --> 01:17:22,735
He may be Chapman now,
1004
01:17:22,804 --> 01:17:27,104
but 21 years ago, when I married them,
he was George Grant.
1005
01:17:27,509 --> 01:17:29,534
And he was a newspaperman.
1006
01:17:30,379 --> 01:17:34,145
I remember now. He said he worked
on the paper over in Waterford.
1007
01:17:34,216 --> 01:17:37,549
Waterford, Connecticut, was that town
I couldn't think of.
1008
01:17:37,619 --> 01:17:40,110
But I knew I'd remember that voice.
1009
01:17:40,422 --> 01:17:44,586
His face... You've changed.
But it's the same man.
1010
01:17:45,060 --> 01:17:48,086
You remember that $5,000 reward, though,
don't you, Judge?
1011
01:17:48,163 --> 01:17:51,428
Judge. This is impossible.
You're getting confused.
1012
01:17:51,633 --> 01:17:54,864
He sounds to me as though
he knows exactly what he's saying.
1013
01:17:54,936 --> 01:17:57,837
This is idiotic!
Screwball, crackbrained lunacy!
1014
01:17:57,906 --> 01:18:01,364
And that's just the kind of a witness
the judge is going to make, too, Steve.
1015
01:18:01,443 --> 01:18:03,240
The police have that specimen
of hair and flesh
1016
01:18:03,311 --> 01:18:05,905
found under Mrs. Grant's fingernails.
1017
01:18:06,348 --> 01:18:09,283
I think we'd better get in touch with Davis.
1018
01:18:09,551 --> 01:18:11,212
No phone, Allison.
1019
01:18:21,797 --> 01:18:26,359
Julie pegged you right off.
But me, still wet behind the ears McCleary.
1020
01:18:27,235 --> 01:18:29,328
I went for the sleigh ride.
1021
01:18:29,971 --> 01:18:35,409
I practically built the pedestal for Chapman.
The great newspaperman. The great guy.
1022
01:18:36,778 --> 01:18:41,545
There ought to be a special Pulitzer Prize
for the world's biggest sucker, McCleary.
1023
01:18:41,616 --> 01:18:44,141
Just another one of your stupid slobs!
1024
01:18:44,219 --> 01:18:45,948
Things happen, Steve,
and then there's just no end.
1025
01:18:46,021 --> 01:18:47,921
Killing my wife was an accident.
1026
01:18:47,989 --> 01:18:51,823
And Charlie. Charlie Barnes,
who never hurt a fly in his life.
1027
01:18:52,294 --> 01:18:54,057
A washed-up drunken rummy
who had nothing to live for
1028
01:18:54,129 --> 01:18:55,790
against a career
that was just reaching its prime.
1029
01:18:55,864 --> 01:18:59,322
- It wasn't an even exchange.
- You've got a great career ahead of you now.
1030
01:18:59,401 --> 01:19:02,302
That's all down the drain.
I gotta to make different plans now.
1031
01:19:02,370 --> 01:19:04,736
You should have started running
when you got my wire, sucker!
1032
01:19:04,806 --> 01:19:06,501
I gambled.
The stakes are big enough, you don't run
1033
01:19:06,575 --> 01:19:10,443
unless there's nothing else left to do.
Don't try it, kid.
1034
01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:30,190
Steve!
1035
01:19:50,986 --> 01:19:53,011
We're just too close, kid.
1036
01:19:57,292 --> 01:20:02,059
I figured I'd find you birds here.
Still playing me for a pushover, aren't you?
1037
01:20:04,032 --> 01:20:06,227
Steve, you remember how I told you
1038
01:20:06,301 --> 01:20:09,464
that someday you'd run into
a really great story?
1039
01:20:09,905 --> 01:20:11,736
Well, this one ought to do it, huh?
1040
01:20:12,474 --> 01:20:14,374
Yeah, this one will do.
1041
01:20:14,976 --> 01:20:16,603
I'll give you the lead on it.
1042
01:20:17,846 --> 01:20:18,972
"The elusive Lonely Heart Killer,
1043
01:20:19,047 --> 01:20:20,708
"object of a nationwide search

1044
01:20:20,782 --> 01:20:23,774

of the <i>New York Express.</i>
1045
01:20:25,387 --> 01:20:27,321
"He was apprehended
due to the persistence of a reporter
1046
01:20:27,389 --> 01:20:30,449
"who learned his trade
from the killer himself.
1047
01:20:31,259 --> 01:20:32,920
"The murderer was revealed

01:20:32,994 --> 01:20:35,827
"Managing Editor of the <i>New York Express."</i>
1049
01:20:37,766 --> 01:20:42,601
- Write it up big, kid. It'll sell a lot of papers.
- All right, drop it, Chapman.

Mark Chapman, editor of the New York Express, has made the newspaper a success by pursuing sensationalism and yellow journalism. His protégé is ace reporter Steve McCleary, while successful feature writer Julie Allison is frustrated by the paper's drift towards raking the muck. One night, during a lonely hearts dance organized by the Express, Chapman's estranged wife confronts him and demands that he visit her hotel room. It is revealed that Chapman's real name is George Grant, and he abandoned his wife decades earlier, changing his identity. When Chapman rebuffs her efforts toward reconciliation, she threatens to publicize his real identity. Chapman tries to restrain her, accidentally killing her in the scuffle.
Chapman attempts to cover up his crime, posing the scene to look like an accident. The police initially believe she slipped in the bathtub, but McCleary begins covering the case, and his reporting reveals it was a murder. McCleary is eager to run the story, and Chapman must acquiesce to avoid suspicion. The "mystery" murderer is dubbed the "Lonely Hearts Killer." Charlie Barnes, an alcoholic former star reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner, stumbles upon the dead woman's suitcase, in which he finds wedding photographs showing Chapman (then Grant) and his wife. He realizes that Chapman must be the killer. Barnes contacts Allison, who has been kind to him, attempting to give her the scoop, but Chapman overhears the conversation. He intercepts and kills Barnes before he can reveal the truth to a rival publication. This act only increases public interest in the story of the Lonely Hearts Killer, much to Chapman's frustration.
Assisted by Allison, McCleary continues to track down clues and leads. Eventually he locates another photo from Chapman/Grant's wedding, although the groom is shot in profile and it is not obvious that it is Chapman. McCleary and Allison travel to Connecticut to find the judge who married the murdered woman and the man in the photograph. After a week of searching, they identify the judge who conducted the marriage. They bring him back to the newspaper building, where he identifies Chapman as the groom and thus the Lonely Hearts Killer. McCleary is incredulous, but Allison puts the pieces together and the desperate Chapman pulls a gun on them. The police arrive, and Chapman cannot bring himself to shoot McCleary. Instead, he gives McCleary his blessing to publish all details of his crimes and then commits suicide by cop.

1
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,468
I know how you feel, lady.
2
00:01:52,545 --> 00:01:54,445
Just take your time
and tell me what happened.
3
00:01:54,514 --> 00:01:57,915
He had this meat ax, her blood all over it.
4
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:03,187
My brother-in-law had it.
Blood all over his hands, all over his shirt.
5
00:02:03,389 --> 00:02:05,687
I can't talk about it, Officer.
6
00:02:05,859 --> 00:02:08,851
I know it's rough, lady,
but I have to have the facts.
7
00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:14,298
He comes staggering out in the hall.
He says, "I did it. Call the cops."
8
00:02:15,101 --> 00:02:16,125
And then he...
9
00:02:16,202 --> 00:02:19,467
Snap it up, Captain.
Lieutenant Davis just blew in.
10
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,303
What's he going to do, Officer?
11
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:25,003
- I'm not a cop, lady.
- But you said...
12
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:27,610
All I said was,
"I had to ask you some questions."
13
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,079
I'm from the <i>Express.</i>
14
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:33,984
You made me go through all that.
Why, you're not decent! You're not human!
15
00:02:34,754 --> 00:02:38,121
- Sorry, lady. All part of the job.
- Well, well, Lieutenant Davis.
16
00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:42,252
- Say, this must have been a homicide.
- Hi, Lieutenant. Wait till you hear it.
17
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:45,092
- A messy one.
- You keep pulling stuff like this, McCleary,
18
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:50,193
and so help me, if it's the last thing I do,
I'll run you in! Now, that's a warning!
19
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:18,591
This is KL-75263. Get me Plaza-52099.
20
00:03:19,532 --> 00:03:24,401
You know, that wasn't a bad-Iooking dame.
Too bad the guy used an ax on her head.
21
00:03:25,271 --> 00:03:27,796
Spoiled some pretty pictures for me.
22
00:03:28,908 --> 00:03:31,877
Hey, Mark, have you put on the gloves
with those stockholders yet?
23
00:03:32,178 --> 00:03:34,203
Hi. No, I'm just taping up my hands.
24
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,976
<i>Well, you can tell them we got</i>
<i>another neat and gory one coming up.</i>
25
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:39,177
<i>Hatchet murder. Lower East Side tenement.</i>
26
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:41,652
<i>Wrapped up an exclusive interview</i>
<i>with an eyewitness.</i>
27
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:43,211
You got plenty of art?
28
00:03:43,289 --> 00:03:45,052
Yeah. Biddle grabbed all he could
of the body.
29
00:03:45,124 --> 00:03:49,185
A dame, very messy.
Got a great hysterical close-up of her sister.
30
00:03:49,529 --> 00:03:52,828
I'll even write the caption for you.
"I seen him with a bloody meat ax."
31
00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:54,592
Good. With that, I can sell papers.
32
00:03:54,667 --> 00:03:57,295
Give it to rewrite and we'll get it in the final.
Hold on. What do you want?
33
00:03:57,370 --> 00:04:00,237
Mr. Madison called down
from the boardroom again, Mr. Chapman.
34
00:04:00,306 --> 00:04:02,831
You hear that?
I'm letting them stew in their financial juices.
35
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:05,067
Well, don't overdo it. I like this job.
36
00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:08,273
You've never gone backwards
with me before, have you, kid?
37
00:04:08,348 --> 00:04:13,217
If we leave here, we'll bounce into
a bigger setup. I'll see you when you get in.
38
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:21,417
As one of the largest stockholders
in this corporation,
39
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:24,463
I would like to know
why the <i>New York Express,</i>
40
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:27,465
once a distinguished
and respected newspaper,
41
00:04:29,869 --> 00:04:33,600
has been allowed to become
a cheap and depraved publication.
42
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:38,835
Why has an editor been allowed
to turn a decent journal into this?
43
00:04:39,679 --> 00:04:41,613
A disgusting tabloid!
44
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,749
Pandering to the passions
of the base morons!
45
00:04:45,151 --> 00:04:47,847
I demand an explanation, Frank Madison.
46
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:54,750
Well, Mrs. Rawley, I...
In defense of Mark Chapman, I...
47
00:04:54,827 --> 00:04:58,263
Mr. Madison, I'd like to handle
my own defense, if you don't mind.
48
00:04:58,331 --> 00:04:59,855
Just as you say, Mark.
49
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:05,428
Mrs. Rawley, I think you
and the other stockholders should know
50
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:07,496
that your publisher hired me
as executive editor
51
00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:09,837
with full rights to transform this newspaper.
52
00:05:10,677 --> 00:05:14,443
He did this for a very simple reason.
He was fed up with operating at a loss.
53
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:18,611
Why did Mr. Madison hire me?
Well, he felt it was time that the <i>Express</i>
54
00:05:18,685 --> 00:05:21,745
buried its antiquated negative approach,
such as this.
55
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:25,756
But who won?
56
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:29,920
And become a positive newspaper.
We're in a business, ladies and gentlemen,
57
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:34,695
a business of satisfying the hunger
of the public for thrills, escape and news.
58
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:39,271
Here's where I took over
your highly respectable white elephant.
59
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:42,172
Instead of headlining a UN story,
we gave them a vice story.
60
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:44,368
Obviously, they went for it.
61
00:05:44,544 --> 00:05:46,239
We played down
the presidential appointments
62
00:05:46,312 --> 00:05:48,644
and concentrated
on the "Gorilla Man" killings.
63
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:51,576
Here's what happened.
Thirty or forty thousand new readers.
64
00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:54,245
Why, in a year, circulation's up over 110%.
65
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,686
And when we reach 750,000,
66
00:05:56,756 --> 00:06:00,886
we'll have to pay you a big bonus.
I'm not sure I like this at all.
67
00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:02,761
Did you like the dividend check
you got last month
68
00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:04,194
for the first time in 12 years?
69
00:06:04,263 --> 00:06:07,323
I don't like this, sir.
What kind of journalism is this?
70
00:06:07,967 --> 00:06:10,026
A newspaper
staging a cheap, vulgar display
71
00:06:10,103 --> 00:06:13,266
in order to attract
the stupid slobs of the city!
72
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,865
The thousands who will attend
the Lonely Heart dance tonight,
73
00:06:15,942 --> 00:06:18,467
these poor, friendly, unhappy people
whom you call stupid slobs,
74
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:20,569
buy and read this newspaper.
75
00:06:20,646 --> 00:06:22,944
Their loyalty helped put that dividend check
in your pocket.
76
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:26,712
And I suppose you think it's a public service
when one of your reporters is arrested
77
00:06:26,786 --> 00:06:30,745
for withholding information from the police?
Or whatever it was.
78
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:34,150
This, what's his name, McCleary person,
79
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,352
and the things he writes about!
I think he should be fired!
80
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:39,295
This McCleary person
is the best young reporter I've seen
81
00:06:39,365 --> 00:06:41,060
in 25 years of newspapering.
82
00:06:41,134 --> 00:06:43,193
Before I'll fire him,
I'll throw the <i>Express</i> up for grabs
83
00:06:43,269 --> 00:06:45,669
and go to work for somebody
who appreciates real talent on a paper!
84
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:47,262
- Mark, I'm sure...
- One last thing.
85
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:50,798
The only contract I have here is a handshake
between Mr. Madison and myself.
86
00:06:50,877 --> 00:06:53,141
Now, unless you give me full rights
to run this paper the way I want,
87
00:06:53,212 --> 00:06:55,271
I'll quit after the final edition today.
88
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:58,784
Now, I'm sorry I can't stay with you
any longer. I have a newspaper to get out!
89
00:07:06,092 --> 00:07:10,426
- Your story ready, Miss Allison?
- I'll have the rest in a minute, Joey.
90
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:13,831
Mr. Chapman?
91
00:07:16,502 --> 00:07:17,696
Thanks.
92
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:26,937
McCleary story in yet, Bax?
93
00:07:32,485 --> 00:07:34,885
How'd you make out in the torture chamber?
94
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:40,450
This is good. Give it a big play.
Mac'll do a byline follow-up tomorrow.
95
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:43,825
- What are these?
- Pics for that Lonely Heart spread.
96
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:45,820
- Junk them.
- But I...
97
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:47,092
Take Peters off the Lonely Hearts.
98
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:48,997
He's photographing these slobs
like a lineup in a soup kitchen
99
00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:50,660
instead of panting for a red-hot romance.
100
00:07:50,736 --> 00:07:52,533
- Okay. But I...
- Yeah?
101
00:07:52,939 --> 00:07:54,566
Yes, Mr. Madison.
102
00:07:58,211 --> 00:08:00,611
- Get an ax, smear it with blood.
- Yeah? Whose?
103
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,171
Yours. If you can't spare any,
use chocolate syrup or something.
104
00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:07,652
Chocolate? Goody! When I'm through,
I can make a plate of fudge. Drop in.
105
00:08:08,721 --> 00:08:12,157
So, you still insist a woman having 20 kids
is worth a feature article?
106
00:08:12,225 --> 00:08:15,422
Hi, genius.
I think it's worth a whole front page.
107
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:18,391
It scares me, this maternal instinct of yours.
108
00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:20,955
Decided where you're taking me
to dinner tonight?
109
00:08:23,736 --> 00:08:25,966
If Chapman hasn't been canned,
110
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,169
you're going to dine with the worst loser
who ever paid off a bet.
111
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:31,608
Then you'd better stash some
bicarbonate soda in your bag, princess.
112
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:32,837
You're gonna need it.
113
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:35,437
Don't count your steaks
before you hear the sizzle.
114
00:08:37,617 --> 00:08:39,608
Well, what's the word? Are you ex or still?
115
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,880
They're not dumb enough
to throw out a winner.
116
00:08:41,954 --> 00:08:44,650
Congratulations. I knew you'd stick
their stocks right back in their teeth.
117
00:08:44,724 --> 00:08:46,555
I told them if they fired me,
McCleary would quit, too,
118
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:49,060
and then they'd be in real trouble.
119
00:08:49,128 --> 00:08:50,527
I wouldn't put it past them
to try and dump you
120
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:53,929
to get out of paying the bonus that's
staring them right in their glassy eyes.
121
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,331
I've got news for you.
122
00:08:55,401 --> 00:08:57,528
I'm going to cut you in
for a piece of that bonus.
123
00:08:57,603 --> 00:08:59,298
What do you want me to do, retire?
124
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:00,566
I thought we could make a deal with Madison
125
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,698
to buy some of the company's stock.
126
00:09:01,774 --> 00:09:03,901
You know, kid,
we could end up owning this newspaper.
127
00:09:03,976 --> 00:09:06,536
- Well, that's the best offer I've had all week.
- I'll make you another one.
128
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:09,080
I'll take you to dinner tonight.
You pick the spot.
129
00:09:10,349 --> 00:09:14,012
I'll make you a better offer.
My date's buying. She lost a bet.
130
00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:17,544
The Grand Duchess from Vassar again?
The way I feel, I can put up with anything.
131
00:09:17,623 --> 00:09:19,818
- I'm more worried, can she put up with you?
- Get her ready.
132
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:24,124
We've got to be at the ballroom at 8:00.
There's no time for nose powder.
133
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:32,597
Don't break your ears with that grin.
I can see. He's still in.
134
00:09:33,005 --> 00:09:36,532
- No loud whoops of joy, baby?
- Well, I tried everything.
135
00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:39,770
I crossed my fingers,
said prayers, burned candles.
136
00:09:39,845 --> 00:09:43,713
- Who's your tailor, princess?
- Let's get out of here.
137
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,075
I've had to look at that Chapman face all day.
138
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:50,714
I've got to cover his fiasco tonight
and suffer some more.
139
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:53,987
At least just looking at you for an hour
will be a welcome change.
140
00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:57,496
- Lf you're taking me to dinner, let's go.
- Taking him?
141
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,195
Wait a minute.
Our bet was between you and me.
142
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:03,463
Our bet was loser buys dinner.
We didn't say for how many.
143
00:10:03,536 --> 00:10:06,994
- Why, you double-crossing...
- I knew you'd be a good loser.
144
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:10,807
Someday remind me to tell you about girls.
145
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:20,248
You talk a couple of these suckers
into getting married.
146
00:10:20,319 --> 00:10:21,581
These Lonely Heart slobs got the gimmies,
147
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:23,519
and we've got plenty to give them
from the advertisers.
148
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:25,284
If you talk one couple
into getting married by 9:00,
149
00:10:25,358 --> 00:10:27,883
by 12:00 we'll have a dozen lined up
for wedded bliss.
150
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,155
- McCleary, the Brooklyn cupid.
- McCleary, the human yes man.
151
00:10:30,229 --> 00:10:31,594
Hey, Julie!
152
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:34,155
- Hello, Charlie.
- Charlie.
153
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:38,225
- How are you, Barnes?
- Fine, Mark. You're looking fit. McCleary.
154
00:10:38,571 --> 00:10:39,595
Thank you.
155
00:10:39,672 --> 00:10:41,799
What goes on? Are you ghosting
Allison's features, Charlie?
156
00:10:41,874 --> 00:10:43,774
No, he's helping me with research
for that series
157
00:10:43,843 --> 00:10:45,640
on historical monuments in New York.
158
00:10:45,711 --> 00:10:47,872
You couldn't pick a better man.
I ought to know.
159
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:50,006
Remember those old days, Mark?
160
00:10:50,082 --> 00:10:53,813
Like the time I cut the phone cables
at the Lindbergh trial?
161
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:55,520
You scooped me. Almost cost me my job.
162
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:59,957
Scooped you, the wire services,
scooped everybody. That was the year...
163
00:11:00,026 --> 00:11:02,358
That was the year you won the Pulitzer Prize.
164
00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:06,826
Listen, Mark.
This stuff I've been doing for Julie, it's...
165
00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:13,200
- Mark, I think I'm ready to go back to work.
- That's fine. I'm glad to hear it, Charlie.
166
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,164
How about it, Mark? How about a job?
167
00:11:19,645 --> 00:11:21,510
- Why not?
- Thanks.
168
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:25,447
- Charlie, I'm so proud of you!
- This is gonna take a little juggling.
169
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:26,849
I won't be able to do anything right away.
170
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:28,978
Look, Charlie, I'll call you.
We're late, we gotta rush.
171
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:31,785
Sure, Mark, I know how it is,
always on the go.
172
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:35,258
- Coffee in the morning? Skinners?
- Sure thing, Julie.
173
00:11:40,199 --> 00:11:41,257
All the time I thought you were a...
174
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:43,699
- How much did you give him?
- $10. He earned it.
175
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:44,929
Ten bucks?
176
00:11:45,004 --> 00:11:47,336
- Buy a lot of whiskey.
- Did you see that rum-dumb?
177
00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:49,806
- Come midnight, he'll be in the gutter.
- Now, wait a minute.
178
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:51,274
He's an alky, Julie.
You shouldn't give an alky
179
00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:52,367
more than a buck at a time.
180
00:11:52,445 --> 00:11:55,414
You're liable to kill him.
Ten bucks, he can take a bath in it.
181
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:58,314
But... Well, this job
will change everything for him.
182
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:01,319
Job? I wouldn't have him in my office,
let alone on my staff.
183
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:04,117
In you go, sucker. Where are you going?
184
00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:07,085
I'm not going to let him go off believing this.
185
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:10,617
- Do you want to break his heart?
- Do I? What do you think you're doing?
186
00:12:10,696 --> 00:12:13,358
I'm giving him hopes and dreams.
A rummy like that lives on dreams.
187
00:12:13,432 --> 00:12:17,061
- He's happy. Why spoil it?
- Happy? Happy like your Lonely Hearts,
188
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,798
looking forward to those big romances
they've been promised?
189
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:23,069
- Only Charlie's romance is with a bottle.
- Get in.
190
00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:48,057
Biddle, don't leave that camera at half mast.
Stop goldbricking on the other guys.
191
00:12:48,134 --> 00:12:52,127
I must have got 100 shots already,
Mr. Chapman. My arm's giving out.
192
00:12:52,204 --> 00:12:56,334
You've only started. I want shots of people
from every state. Now start shooting.
193
00:12:58,911 --> 00:13:01,038
How are you doing, princess?
194
00:13:01,147 --> 00:13:04,116
Well, it's an effort,
but I'm trying to keep from screaming.
195
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:06,981
You were a real bundle of laughs
during dinner, too.
196
00:13:07,052 --> 00:13:08,781
Why don't you simmer down now?
197
00:13:08,854 --> 00:13:10,515
You're not so pretty
when your feathers are all ruffled.
198
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:13,183
Don't, Steve. I'm in no mood for levity.
199
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:17,491
- Do you feel like dancing?
- Do you figure that'll smooth my feathers?
200
00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:21,691
I've got a great idea for you. Grab yourself
one of these Lonely Heart boys.
201
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:25,066
Tell him you're a club date. Con him.
Get his life history.
202
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:28,903
- And there's your feature for tomorrow.
- Mark Chapman, Junior.
203
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:31,568
It'll sell papers, you left that out.
204
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:34,871
Happy hunting, cupid.
Mustn't let the boss down.
205
00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:38,312
Save at least one dance for me, princess.
206
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:58,034
Every time I aim my lens
at one of these walking zombies,
207
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:01,334
I think of the time
I covered the Miss America contest.
208
00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:03,705
The tears almost start to flow.
209
00:14:06,378 --> 00:14:09,370
From McCleary, you get nothing but service.
Ten minutes before 9:00,
210
00:14:09,448 --> 00:14:13,179
and couple number one. Mary and Joe
met in front of the Arkansas booth.
211
00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:16,221
It was love at first sight, almost. Right?
212
00:14:16,288 --> 00:14:20,349
Well, sure. I'm from Texas,
but I sure love that Arkansas cooking.
213
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,890
- You love her, don't you?
- Well, sure, I reckon so.
214
00:14:23,963 --> 00:14:26,158
- Mary, you love him?
- Yes.
215
00:14:26,966 --> 00:14:31,130
- See, they're crazy about each other.
- Yeah, that's fine. Hey, Edwards.
216
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:33,535
We've got a romance going here.
They're ready for the orange blossoms.
217
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,837
- Well, how do you do? And congratulations.
- Save the teeth for the bandstand.
218
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:38,171
Get up there
and make the big announcement.
219
00:14:38,244 --> 00:14:42,044
Yes, sir, Mr. Chapman.
Come with me, you lucky, lucky people.
220
00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:46,842
Hey, you ain't gonna forget about the bed
with the built-in television set?
221
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:48,614
You'll spend your honeymoon in front of it.
222
00:14:51,624 --> 00:14:55,321
- Nice going, Steve, keep punching.
- I'll get the camera boys up to cover it.
223
00:14:57,129 --> 00:15:01,862
- Did you find a feature to write about yet?
- I haven't, and I don't intend to.
224
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:05,435
This bribing of poor, ignorant dopes
into a public wedding
225
00:15:05,504 --> 00:15:07,665
is cheap, cruel and disgusting.
226
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:10,573
This whole Wild West show is ridiculous,
and I want no part of it.
227
00:15:10,643 --> 00:15:13,305
Miss Allison,
your contract has six months to run.
228
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:17,281
My contract was made with Mr. Madison
before you took over the <i>Express.</i>
229
00:15:17,349 --> 00:15:18,543
If you don't like the way I run the paper,
230
00:15:18,617 --> 00:15:21,245
I have an agreement
that might be satisfactory to both of us.
231
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,811
Take six months' vacation with pay!
232
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:30,286
No, thank you, Mr. Chapman. I'll work it out.
I like my feature writing.
233
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,898
Thinking people like it, too,
234
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:37,561
even though there aren't many of them
buying the <i>Express</i> anymore. Good night!
235
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:43,605
That's it.
236
00:15:50,382 --> 00:15:53,613
<i>Friends, brothers and sisters</i>
<i>in the Lonely Hearts Club.</i>
237
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:55,677
<i>I have wonderful news for you,</i>
238
00:15:55,754 --> 00:15:59,747
<i>living proof that this magnificent club</i>
<i>is more than just a name.</i>
239
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:04,386
<i>But first, how would you like to meet</i>
<i>the great man who created your club?</i>
240
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:11,998
<i>Mr. Mark Chapman,</i>
<i>editor of the</i> New York Express.
241
00:16:12,071 --> 00:16:14,665
<i>Put the spotlight on him, over there!</i>
242
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,782
<i>Now here's the wonderful news.</i>
243
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:37,056
<i>Meet Mary and Joe, two happy people</i>
<i>who came here tonight as total strangers.</i>
244
00:16:37,463 --> 00:16:42,400
<i>They met, they danced, they found love.</i>
<i>They're going to get married!</i>
245
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,474
George?
246
00:16:57,516 --> 00:17:00,041
<i>- As the first couple who fell in love tonight...</i>
- George Grant!
247
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:01,814
<i>...Mary and Joe will receive...</i>
- It is you!
248
00:17:01,887 --> 00:17:03,752
<i>...compliments of the</i> Express...
- Charlotte.
249
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:05,119
<i>... a wedding night in a New York hotel...</i>
250
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:08,921
Finding you here...
I was so sure that you must be dead.
251
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:11,759
George Grant is dead.
252
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:14,259
Yes, I just heard.
253
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,134
- You're the...
- We can't talk here.
254
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:19,901
We can talk at my place, George.
255
00:17:20,806 --> 00:17:23,036
We've got a lot to talk about.
256
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:26,509
Go on out. I'll meet you at the side entrance.
257
00:17:32,785 --> 00:17:35,151
The years have been kinder to you.
258
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:38,621
What is it, 19, 20?
I used to keep track, but I don't...
259
00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:41,716
What's the difference?
Now that you found me, what do you want?
260
00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:57,401
May I?
261
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:07,375
- Come on, quit stalling around.
- What was it they called you at the ball?
262
00:18:07,453 --> 00:18:08,977
- Mark?
- Chapman.
263
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:15,755
When did you change your name, George?
Right after you left me?
264
00:18:17,062 --> 00:18:18,962
So I wouldn't find you?
265
00:18:19,631 --> 00:18:21,292
You knew I was so crazy about you
266
00:18:21,366 --> 00:18:24,028
I'd look and look and look,
didn't you, George?
267
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,697
Come on, get to it. What do you want?
268
00:18:27,739 --> 00:18:32,574
You're still in a hurry, aren't you?
That's the thing I remember best about you.
269
00:18:32,878 --> 00:18:37,645
The fellow who always ran and never walked.
Had to get places fast!
270
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,749
And you got places, didn't you, George?
271
00:18:44,323 --> 00:18:46,883
Here, you need some money?
Here's some for now.
272
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,860
Money? The payoff, George?
273
00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:54,497
How much? How much for each year?
274
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:58,633
How much for the agony
and the heartbreak and the fear?
275
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:03,141
- Charlotte, cut the ham act.
- This could be for the doctor bill, see?
276
00:19:06,578 --> 00:19:10,173
I was 20 years younger then,
took things more seriously.
277
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:14,142
I can't imagine how much.
278
00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:18,087
You're boring me now, like you always did.
279
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:20,388
People always bored you
280
00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:23,155
when you didn't have
any more use for them, didn't they, George?
281
00:19:23,228 --> 00:19:25,025
Bores and nuisances, I get rid of them.
282
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:27,497
Yeah, the same gentle way
you got rid of me.
283
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:28,692
My lawyer will get in touch with you.
284
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:31,702
He'll arrange a quiet divorce
and generous alimony.
285
00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:34,671
You're an important man now,
aren't you, George?
286
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:37,038
Editor of the <i>New York Express.</i>
287
00:19:38,977 --> 00:19:43,346
I never thought I'd be the wife of the editor
of a big New York newspaper.
288
00:19:43,415 --> 00:19:47,112
You're not, and don't get any ideas
about forcing yourself.
289
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:51,020
You've got nothing to gain by refusing me
a divorce now like you did 20 years ago.
290
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:56,759
I was young then and so foolishly in love.
I wanted so much to hold onto you.
291
00:19:57,496 --> 00:20:00,021
I made all of my mistakes when I was young,
and you were the biggest one.
292
00:20:00,098 --> 00:20:02,794
I fell for an attractive hunk of flesh.
293
00:20:04,169 --> 00:20:07,627
"Hold me." You didn't try to hang on.
You strangled me.
294
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,936
I'd smother to death with you.
295
00:20:15,747 --> 00:20:19,808
Turnabout's fair play.
When you walked out on me, I died inside.
296
00:20:20,352 --> 00:20:23,116
When I walk out of here, you're gonna die.
297
00:20:23,188 --> 00:20:27,852
Everything you worked for, grabbed for,
ruined people to get, it's all gonna die!
298
00:20:27,926 --> 00:20:29,393
You're a neurotic screwball!
299
00:20:29,461 --> 00:20:33,955
I'm gonna spread your story all over town.
Mark Chapman, the great editor!
300
00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:37,829
Wife deserter!
Living under a false name for 20 years.
301
00:20:39,137 --> 00:20:42,334
What else did you cover up
living under a phony name?
302
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:44,637
Your publishers are gonna love this.
303
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:49,044
And the other papers, they'll cut you
to ribbons with this information!
304
00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,470
Hi, honey, let me have the city room.
305
00:23:33,812 --> 00:23:37,179
This is Elkins.
If you need me, I'm over in Skinners.
306
00:23:38,316 --> 00:23:41,808
What? Having breakfast. Yeah, breakfast.
307
00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:53,323
Yes, Julie, after that fortunate
and historical meeting with Mark yesterday,
308
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:57,629
I had considerable difficulty
wooing the fickle Morpheus.
309
00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:01,939
That explains it.
Those bleeding eyes today.
310
00:24:02,474 --> 00:24:05,341
Well, I did have a couple
with the boys down below.
311
00:24:05,410 --> 00:24:08,277
A sort of celebration, and then farewell.
312
00:24:11,049 --> 00:24:13,574
You should have left them long ago, Charlie.
313
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:15,916
Any man who was big enough
in his day to rate that,
314
00:24:16,555 --> 00:24:20,389
a place in Skinner's Hall of Fame,
is still too big for Dead-End Street.
315
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:25,028
No regrets, Julie. My temporary alliance
with the denizens of the Bowery
316
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:29,863
has provided me with a deeper insight
into the whys and wherefores of mankind.
317
00:24:35,674 --> 00:24:38,006
A proven medical fact,
when the human system
318
00:24:38,076 --> 00:24:40,840
has been lengthily nurtured
on alcoholic stimulants,
319
00:24:40,912 --> 00:24:44,871
any abrupt cessation of same
will result in a negative reaction.
320
00:24:45,016 --> 00:24:46,381
Absolutely.
321
00:24:47,652 --> 00:24:52,385
But I'm tapering off. I'll be a firmly-rooted
passenger on the old water wagon
322
00:24:52,524 --> 00:24:54,856
by the time Mark's ready for me.
323
00:24:57,295 --> 00:25:01,561
Charlie, don't bet everything
on Mark Chapman.
324
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:06,666
He won't let me down.
First time I felt ready, I asked him for a job,
325
00:25:06,938 --> 00:25:10,032
and what happened?
He offered me one, didn't he?
326
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:15,173
- Mr. Lonely Heart.
- Compliments of the <i>Express,</i> Myrtle.
327
00:25:15,747 --> 00:25:18,545
- I see you read. You stick with the radio.
- Yeah.
328
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:20,744
Hey, McCleary,
I read that rag of yours by accident.
329
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:23,287
Yeah, me, too.
From ax murder to Ionely hearts.
330
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:25,653
What are you trying to prove,
you're versatile or something?
331
00:25:25,724 --> 00:25:27,885
What are you gentlemen
reading our rag for?
332
00:25:27,959 --> 00:25:30,427
Trying to find out
what's happening that's news?
333
00:25:30,495 --> 00:25:32,929
Good morning, kiddies. What's the word?
334
00:25:35,066 --> 00:25:36,624
Silly, that's the word.
335
00:25:36,701 --> 00:25:38,635
Still a heaping bunch of joy,
aren't you, princess?
336
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:43,663
Lonely Hearts Ball. Journalism has certainly
changed since the old days.
337
00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:47,302
What happened to you last night?
Pulled a fast fade on me.
338
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:50,712
- Don't tell me you actually missed me?
- I needed protection.
339
00:25:50,782 --> 00:25:53,250
Some of our love-hungry subscribers
got mixed up.
340
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:56,014
They were offering me deep-freezes
and vacuum cleaners.
341
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:59,318
- I'm surprised you refused.
- How do you know I did?
342
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:02,849
Certainly heavy coverage
on the unrequited passion set.
343
00:26:03,261 --> 00:26:06,924
Our love and romance edition, Charlie.
Even the crossword puzzle.
344
00:26:06,998 --> 00:26:08,966
But nothing from the Allison corner.
345
00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:12,335
Not interested in romance, Julie?
346
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:16,465
Not the kind that blossoms
on free gas stoves and television sets.
347
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:21,235
- About that Lonely Heart gag, I've got a...
- Steve, on the radio.
348
00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:27,652
- Julie. Hi, Charlie.
- Hi, Biddle.
349
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:31,086
Police call. Dead dame in a flat
on Third Avenue. Are you interested?
350
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:33,090
Well, she'd probably be a cheerful change.
351
00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:36,685
I'm still getting the icebox treatment
from the female on my left.
352
00:26:36,761 --> 00:26:40,162
After them scarecrows I shot last night,
I figure my luck's gotta change.
353
00:26:40,231 --> 00:26:43,428
Even dead, this dame's bound
to have more glamour.
354
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:45,467
Let's give her a look.
355
00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:48,801
Thanks for the coffee, kitten.
356
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:03,785
Another scarecrow. I'm batting goose eggs.
357
00:27:05,323 --> 00:27:07,848
Dames have got to make trouble
even when they die, don't they, pal?
358
00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:11,384
Yeah, water downstairs and water upstairs.
359
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:14,531
Probably wanted a room
with a swimming pool.
360
00:27:14,966 --> 00:27:16,866
Hey, Davis, what are you doing here?
361
00:27:16,935 --> 00:27:21,031
I just wanted to see if I couldn't get
to one of our calls before you did.
362
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:22,471
This isn't a homicide?
363
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:24,531
We got a new man
on the beat here, McCleary.
364
00:27:24,609 --> 00:27:26,167
He's built like you between the ears.
365
00:27:26,244 --> 00:27:29,975
He saw a hole in the back of the dame's head
and figured she was slugged.
366
00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:31,515
What's your guess, Lieutenant?
367
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:33,949
She put the hole
in the back of her head herself?
368
00:27:34,019 --> 00:27:36,783
Yeah, wise-eyes, that's it. That's it exactly.
369
00:27:36,855 --> 00:27:40,291
She slipped in the tub
and opened her skull on a faucet.
370
00:27:40,358 --> 00:27:43,953
- What was the lady's name, Sherlock?
- The landlady says Jane Jones.
371
00:27:44,029 --> 00:27:45,360
- Do you believe it?
- Yeah, I believe it.
372
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:47,762
I'm fresh out of nursery school.
373
00:27:48,466 --> 00:27:52,402
Jane Jones, alias Jane Doe.
Say, Dave, you're really humming.
374
00:27:53,204 --> 00:27:56,401
Look, nuisance, if you so much as make
these bedsprings squeak once again,
375
00:27:56,474 --> 00:28:00,308
- I'll throw you in the tub with the dame.
- Lieutenant, please.
376
00:28:04,616 --> 00:28:08,177
You're wrong, Dave.
She was murdered. Clear as your head.
377
00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:10,347
Murdered for her money.
378
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:13,949
Why, this lady must have spent easily
six or seven dollars a year on clothes.
379
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:15,492
Why don't you go home, McCleary?
380
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,462
There's nothing around here
to interest a big newsman like you.
381
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:27,827
Look, junior, keep your nose
in your own business, or I'll run you in
382
00:28:27,906 --> 00:28:31,137
- for obstruction, suspicion and vagrancy.
- Why, sure, Dave.
383
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:33,837
I just thought there might be something
in here to help identify her.
384
00:28:33,912 --> 00:28:35,243
No suitcase, huh?
385
00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:41,715
- In there, boys.
- Okay, Steve, I got all I need.
386
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:46,957
Thanks, Dave.
387
00:28:49,127 --> 00:28:52,062
- No, not you two again.
- What do you guys do,
388
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:54,758
smell these things
before the police call is even in?
389
00:28:54,833 --> 00:28:57,301
Try to forget your mugs.
There's a lady in the bathroom.
390
00:28:57,368 --> 00:29:00,531
- Yes, so knock before entering.
- Coming through.
391
00:29:10,381 --> 00:29:12,406
- What'd you pinch that for?
- Look familiar?
392
00:29:12,484 --> 00:29:15,544
I had them in front of me all night, didn't I?
393
00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:18,747
Hey, that's off a Lonely Hearts badge!
394
00:29:18,823 --> 00:29:22,554
Yeah. How many pictures
did you and the boys take at the ball?
395
00:29:22,627 --> 00:29:24,925
Three, maybe four hundred. I don't know.
396
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:27,260
Rush the print of Miss Bathtub
through the lab.
397
00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:28,594
Then check it against the others.
398
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:30,964
- See if you can match them up, okay?
- Sure.
399
00:29:31,035 --> 00:29:34,937
- Shouldn't take more than a week.
- Yeah, but I want it done in an hour.
400
00:29:35,006 --> 00:29:36,701
- I'll see you at the office.
- Where are you going?
401
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:39,903
I'm gonna hitch a ride to the morgue.
If you match them, call me.
402
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,674
How about a ride to the morgue, Pete?
403
00:30:04,969 --> 00:30:07,096
Hey, Needle Nellie, anybody home?
404
00:30:07,172 --> 00:30:08,662
Hey, handsome.
405
00:30:09,007 --> 00:30:11,271
- How you doing, sweetheart?
- Doing all right, handsome.
406
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:13,037
Come here and give us a kiss.
407
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,815
- How's business at the morgue, Nellie?
- Dead.
408
00:30:19,551 --> 00:30:21,178
Business is dead.
409
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:25,621
- It's good to see you, handsome.
- Likewise, sweetheart.
410
00:30:25,690 --> 00:30:27,385
A long time between dates.
411
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:30,621
But right now,
I come seeking your expert female advice.
412
00:30:30,695 --> 00:30:34,131
Anybody that's lived as long as me
can give it. Shoot.
413
00:30:34,732 --> 00:30:37,565
Nellie, if you had just one dress
to your name
414
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:39,535
and you'd fastened something onto it
with a safety pin,
415
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:40,969
and maybe you were in a hurry,
416
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,008
would you take time to undo the pin,
or would you rip the whole thing off?
417
00:30:44,075 --> 00:30:46,305
- This is a riddle?
- No, seriously.
418
00:30:46,377 --> 00:30:51,041
Well, if I had 10 dresses and the house
was burning down, I'd still undo the pin.
419
00:30:51,115 --> 00:30:52,639
Any lady would.
420
00:30:53,017 --> 00:30:55,485
That's what I figured.
I just wanted a woman to confirm it.
421
00:30:55,553 --> 00:30:57,453
I love you, Nellie. I love you.
422
00:30:57,522 --> 00:31:00,047
- Where you going, handsome?
- I gotta see the doc.
423
00:31:00,124 --> 00:31:01,955
Maybe I can get you some business, Nellie.
424
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:11,364
Did you get those ringside ducats
I sent you?
425
00:31:11,436 --> 00:31:13,427
Steve! Yeah, it was a great fight.
426
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:15,438
Mishke really tore that Haybelly apart,
didn't he?
427
00:31:15,506 --> 00:31:19,840
Had so much blood spattered on my glasses,
I missed the knockout punch.
428
00:31:20,478 --> 00:31:24,175
Look, Doc,
they just brought in an accidental death.
429
00:31:24,249 --> 00:31:27,047
- They're putting her in the freezer right now.
- So?
430
00:31:27,118 --> 00:31:30,110
So, I'd like you to give her
the onceover for me. An autopsy.
431
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:33,646
Accidents are out of my province.
You know that, Steve.
432
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:35,383
It's going to be
a great World Series this year.
433
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:37,087
Yeah, that it is.
434
00:31:37,528 --> 00:31:41,362
I don't suppose you'd be interested
in viewing the festivities from a box seat?
435
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:47,132
Are you trying to bribe a city official?
436
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:51,135
Right behind first base, Doc.
437
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:11,028
Yeah. Yeah, get some prints ready.
I think we've got our front page.
438
00:32:11,095 --> 00:32:14,792
Well, this is your lucky day. Drop back,
I want you to mark my racing form.
439
00:32:14,866 --> 00:32:16,766
Get the door, will you?
440
00:32:17,368 --> 00:32:20,064
Yeah, and don't forget, I smoke cigars.
441
00:32:20,838 --> 00:32:24,831
- Hey, Steve, let me wipe those off a little.
- Wipe them tomorrow.
442
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:32,008
Will you smile again
if I take you to dinner tonight?
443
00:32:32,083 --> 00:32:34,847
- A little celebration coming up.
- What's the celebration?
444
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:37,649
Another McCleary scoop.
Getting monotonous, isn't it?
445
00:32:37,722 --> 00:32:42,557
That dinner. A two-party celebration,
or are you bringing a friend?
446
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:44,559
Just you and me alone.
447
00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:47,825
I'll smile again.
What are the fragile treasures?
448
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:52,060
Very rare items.
Pictures of a dame with her mouth shut.
449
00:32:53,071 --> 00:32:55,972
- Joey, catch the door, will you?
- All right.
450
00:32:58,676 --> 00:33:01,270
I've been waiting a long time
for a chance to say this.
451
00:33:01,346 --> 00:33:03,439
- Stop the presses!
- Did you get a morning-after story
452
00:33:03,514 --> 00:33:05,004
on any of those couples
we married last night?
453
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:07,483
I got a story from one
of the Lonely Heart Ball guests, all right.
454
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:11,079
But she didn't get married last night.
She got murdered!
455
00:33:19,964 --> 00:33:23,263
- Who is she?
- A Jane Doe. Nobody knows her real name.
456
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:25,996
The police think she slipped in the bathtub
and bashed her head in,
457
00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:30,507
- or they did until a little while ago.
- But you knew better all the time?
458
00:33:30,575 --> 00:33:32,941
After Doc O'Hanlon got through
cutting her up for me.
459
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:36,538
She died between 9:00 and 12:00 last night,
before she went under in the tub.
460
00:33:36,614 --> 00:33:38,479
No water in her lungs.
461
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:40,283
Did he find anything else?
462
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:44,788
Yeah, her killer was a man, middle-aged,
fair complexion. Had brown hair.
463
00:33:45,390 --> 00:33:47,620
O'Hanlon found that
in scraping under her fingernails.
464
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:50,593
You ran into this
just by playing a hunch, huh?
465
00:33:50,661 --> 00:33:53,858
A string from a Lonely Heart badge
was on her dress in the closet.
466
00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:57,628
The badge had been torn off.
I followed through from there.
467
00:34:00,371 --> 00:34:04,364
Well, is this a story,
this Lonely Heart murdered after the ball?
468
00:34:04,575 --> 00:34:06,805
Can you sell papers with this?
469
00:34:10,248 --> 00:34:13,342
Baxter, Jordan, Allison,
get in here right away.
470
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:15,477
They didn't know her name, you said?
471
00:34:15,553 --> 00:34:18,920
Well, she called herself Jane Jones.
How phony can you get?
472
00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:20,014
We've just been struck by lightning.
473
00:34:20,091 --> 00:34:22,025
It's a great follow-up
for the Lonely Hearts Ball.
474
00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:24,118
Tell them about it, Steve.
475
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:30,997
We'll call her Miss Lonely Heart,
no other name. Alone in the city, friendless.
476
00:34:31,536 --> 00:34:34,801
She went to our shindig last night,
hunting for a soul mate.
477
00:34:34,872 --> 00:34:37,363
Maybe she found one, the wrong one.
478
00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:39,872
Anyway, she left early,
and sometime before midnight
479
00:34:39,944 --> 00:34:41,343
she was beaten to death in her room
480
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:44,540
by a brown-haired, middle-aged man
of fair complexion.
481
00:34:44,615 --> 00:34:46,480
A smash follow-up is right.
482
00:34:46,551 --> 00:34:49,247
The killer had a head full of brains.
Good nerves.
483
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,723
He lugged her to the bathroom,
stripped her, tossed the body in the tub.
484
00:34:54,459 --> 00:34:58,520
No. No, he stood the body in the tub.
Aimed, let go!
485
00:34:58,696 --> 00:35:03,190
Bang, her head cracks the faucet.
Almost perfect crime. Ordinary accident.
486
00:35:04,035 --> 00:35:06,936
He's working smartly,
a guy with imagination.
487
00:35:07,004 --> 00:35:10,963
He takes her slip, stockings,
washes them, hangs them up to dry.
488
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,000
He wipes his prints off everywhere.
489
00:35:13,077 --> 00:35:16,274
He starts getting rid of anything
that could identify her.
490
00:35:16,347 --> 00:35:18,907
He took a ring off her,
probably a wedding or engagement ring.
491
00:35:18,983 --> 00:35:22,111
- How do you know that?
- Whitish circle, third finger, left hand.
492
00:35:22,186 --> 00:35:25,587
- O'Hanlon spotted it at the morgue.
- All right, go on, go on.
493
00:35:25,656 --> 00:35:27,954
Well, he grabs any other personal items
that might identify her
494
00:35:28,025 --> 00:35:29,856
and throws them in her suitcase and blows.
495
00:35:29,927 --> 00:35:32,361
- How do you know she's got a suitcase?
- Every dame's got a suitcase.
496
00:35:32,430 --> 00:35:34,022
But there wasn't one
in Miss Lonely Heart's room.
497
00:35:34,098 --> 00:35:35,861
This'll kick up the circulation.
498
00:35:36,701 --> 00:35:40,137
We can make the 5:00 edition exclusive.
Steve can do the lead story.
499
00:35:40,204 --> 00:35:42,263
Jordan, I want three column cuts
of the dame's picture at the ball
500
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:44,433
and the murder photo.
Allison, write me a sob story,
501
00:35:44,509 --> 00:35:46,568
"Miss Lonely Heart
won't be Ionely anymore."
502
00:35:46,644 --> 00:35:47,736
Fine job, Steve.
503
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,303
Sure, it's a great job,
but we're gonna top it.
504
00:35:50,381 --> 00:35:51,439
How?
505
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,513
- Bury her.
- Bury her?
506
00:35:57,555 --> 00:35:59,682
The best story I ever dug up, and he tops it.
507
00:35:59,757 --> 00:36:02,157
By 5:00 tonight, Miss Lonely Heart
will be selling newspapers for us
508
00:36:02,226 --> 00:36:05,923
on every street corner in Manhattan.
Now, go on, get going.
509
00:37:42,126 --> 00:37:43,787
Be seeing you, Humpty.
510
00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:31,269
Look, I've shown you everything in the shop.
That's the last one I've got!
511
00:38:35,513 --> 00:38:36,605
Mark!
512
00:38:39,283 --> 00:38:41,217
- Mark, old boy!
- How are you, Charlie.
513
00:38:41,285 --> 00:38:45,085
What distasteful mission brings you to this
unholy neighborhood, Mark, my friend?
514
00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:46,589
I'm just looking around.
I like to keep my hand in,
515
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,124
even though I am strapped
to a desk right now.
516
00:38:48,192 --> 00:38:50,126
You wouldn't mean you're keeping
your hand in by working
517
00:38:50,194 --> 00:38:51,821
on this Lonely Heart murder,
would you, now, Mark?
518
00:38:51,896 --> 00:38:53,955
I've got a staff to take care of that for me.
519
00:38:54,031 --> 00:38:56,727
You can't kid an old newshound
like me, Mark.
520
00:38:56,801 --> 00:39:00,999
Still following our old formula,
first check the hock shops for a clue?
521
00:39:01,072 --> 00:39:03,336
Didn't wanna tip your hand
to those cops in there, did you?
522
00:39:03,407 --> 00:39:05,637
I tell you I'm not down here on business.
Now stop playing hawkshaw!
523
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:08,770
Let me show you Charlie Barnes
still has the master's touch
524
00:39:08,846 --> 00:39:11,713
- when it comes to following up a lead, Mark.
- Tell me about it later, will you,
525
00:39:11,782 --> 00:39:15,684
- when you come back to work for me?
- You're afraid I'll get drunk and tip the story.
526
00:39:15,753 --> 00:39:18,881
- I'm tapering off, Mark.
- That's fine, Charlie. I'll call you.
527
00:39:18,956 --> 00:39:23,825
Let me work this with you, Mark. I know
this whole district from gutter to rum-heads.
528
00:39:23,894 --> 00:39:26,226
Pete in the pawnshop's
an honored friend of mine.
529
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:27,992
- Yeah.
- I can get him to work with me and...
530
00:39:28,065 --> 00:39:30,898
- Hello, Charlie!
- Go away.
531
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:35,400
- Here, Charlie, here's something to count.
- I don't want a handout, Mark.
532
00:39:35,473 --> 00:39:37,498
- I want to work.
- You can pay me later. I'll call you, Charlie.
533
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:39,338
Mark, let me help...
534
00:40:13,544 --> 00:40:14,704
Hang onto them, Pete.
535
00:40:14,779 --> 00:40:17,873
We'll drop back payday
and look them over again.
536
00:40:25,022 --> 00:40:26,489
Them guys should wear glasses.
537
00:40:26,557 --> 00:40:29,185
They do so much looking,
but never no buying.
538
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:31,125
Get this for me, Pete.
539
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:34,356
Taking something out for a change
instead of putting it in, Charlie?
540
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:37,526
I admit to the novelty of the occasion, Peter.
541
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:50,109
- Hey, you didn't hock this with me.
- Doing a favor for a friend.
542
00:40:52,082 --> 00:40:56,178
Them cops. You know, if someday
they should buy something from me, I'd...
543
00:40:56,253 --> 00:40:59,620
No, that'd be bad. I'd drop dead.
544
00:41:02,226 --> 00:41:06,185
You know, Charlie, I ought to be
in some other kind of business.
545
00:41:06,697 --> 00:41:10,497
You really meet a very poor class of people
in this business.
546
00:41:10,768 --> 00:41:13,259
Not meaning anything personal,
you understand.
547
00:41:13,337 --> 00:41:16,773
But I'm always dealing with people
who are in trouble,
548
00:41:17,274 --> 00:41:21,608
people who gotta hock something.
People who gotta buy something cheap.
549
00:41:24,582 --> 00:41:28,109
I don't like cheap things.
I never did and I never will.
550
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:34,356
I should have been big fur man, maybe,
or big jewelry man.
551
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,651
Then I could deal with rich people.
552
00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:42,554
That's the kind of people
I really prefer to deal with.
553
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:47,694
- Hey! How much is on this ticket?
- Two bucks.
554
00:41:58,249 --> 00:41:59,841
Here, sign here.
555
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:08,424
You know, sometimes they say
even the rich people aren't happy.
556
00:42:08,492 --> 00:42:11,017
But how that could be, I don't know.
557
00:42:12,296 --> 00:42:15,857
Thank you, Peter.
Thank you for being in business!
558
00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:21,433
Thank you very much.
559
00:42:33,517 --> 00:42:35,041
A shot, Heeney.
560
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:38,614
You look like your blood pressure's boiling,
Charlie. What's the matter?
561
00:42:38,689 --> 00:42:40,680
The classic irony of the age, Heeney.
562
00:42:40,758 --> 00:42:43,659
Charlie Barnes, a stewbum,
rocking the newspaper world
563
00:42:43,727 --> 00:42:46,457
like he never did in all his sober days.
564
00:43:00,411 --> 00:43:02,208
- Composing.
- Yes, sir.
565
00:43:04,481 --> 00:43:07,712
Yes. Yes, madam,
I have two answers for you.
566
00:43:08,185 --> 00:43:11,313
First, you shouldn't talk
to strange men in bars.
567
00:43:11,388 --> 00:43:13,982
Second, because he asked you to marry him
568
00:43:14,058 --> 00:43:16,356
then hit you with a pretzel dish
when you refused
569
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:19,191
isn't conclusive proof
he's our Lonely Heart Killer,
570
00:43:19,263 --> 00:43:21,697
but thanks for calling, lady. Bye.
571
00:43:23,334 --> 00:43:26,326
Phony or not,
those tips belong to the police.
572
00:43:26,704 --> 00:43:30,299
When are you going to get rid of the idea
you're wearing an invisible badge?
573
00:43:30,374 --> 00:43:34,140
Julie Allison. Hello, Charlie. How are you?
574
00:43:36,714 --> 00:43:38,181
The Lonely Heart murder?
575
00:43:38,248 --> 00:43:42,844
And you've got to meet me right away.
We have to figure out how to handle this.
576
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,514
I know the killer, and it's dynamite.
577
00:43:46,757 --> 00:43:48,952
Well, Charlie,
that story is really Steve McCleary's.
578
00:43:49,026 --> 00:43:52,587
- I think you'd better talk to...
- No, no, Julie, I want you to have this.
579
00:43:52,663 --> 00:43:55,393
Now I can repay you, Julie child,
for everything.
580
00:43:55,466 --> 00:43:59,596
Julie, this is so... It's so tremendous,
it'll put both of us on top.
581
00:44:02,272 --> 00:44:04,035
What? What, Julie?
582
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:08,835
Okay, okay, both of you meet me.
583
00:44:08,912 --> 00:44:11,540
Maybe we will need
somebody like McCleary.
584
00:44:11,615 --> 00:44:14,175
Steve, Charlie says
he has information on the murder.
585
00:44:14,251 --> 00:44:18,654
- He's awfully excited about something.
- About two quarts full, probably.
586
00:44:19,890 --> 00:44:21,881
Yeah, Charlie, what's up?
587
00:44:22,726 --> 00:44:25,695
I wanted Julie to have this,
but she insists you be on in it.
588
00:44:25,763 --> 00:44:27,663
I mean you be in on it.
589
00:44:27,965 --> 00:44:30,297
- What's the matter, Charlie?
- No.
590
00:44:31,368 --> 00:44:34,462
- What? You're not sore, are you?
- No, go away!
591
00:44:36,006 --> 00:44:38,099
What? What have I got?
592
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:40,939
I've got the Lonely Heart Killer for you,
that's what!
593
00:44:41,011 --> 00:44:44,777
Gee, Charlie, that's great.
You getting him crocked so he'll confess?
594
00:44:44,848 --> 00:44:48,807
I haven't got him. I know who he is.
595
00:44:54,858 --> 00:44:55,950
What?
596
00:44:59,563 --> 00:45:03,465
Yes, I'm in a saloon.
I'm in Heeney's. But I'm not drunk.
597
00:45:04,034 --> 00:45:07,128
I've just taken the hottest story
of the century out of hock, and I'm gonna...
598
00:45:08,038 --> 00:45:11,064
He's really flying tonight.
See what your 10 bucks did?
599
00:45:11,141 --> 00:45:15,009
Stop treating him like some
weak-minded child. Listen to what he's got.
600
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:19,482
- He's not this excited for nothing.
- You know what he's got? The DTs.
601
00:45:19,616 --> 00:45:21,675
Charlie Barnes, tanked to the eyeballs,
602
00:45:21,752 --> 00:45:24,880
says he just took the Lonely Heart
murder solution out of hock.
603
00:45:26,056 --> 00:45:29,583
Hello, Charlie?
Still there? Let's start all over again.
604
00:45:30,294 --> 00:45:34,788
Listen, you mental midget. The only reason
I'm calling the <i>Express</i> is Julie Allison.
605
00:45:34,865 --> 00:45:37,732
Before I'd give this story
to an insolent young pup like you,
606
00:45:37,801 --> 00:45:39,792
I'd take it to the <i>Daily Leader!</i>
607
00:45:39,870 --> 00:45:42,304
Charlie's mad now.
Gonna sell it to the <i>Leader.</i>
608
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:46,069
- Hang up on the drunken slob.
- Julie? She just left.
609
00:45:46,477 --> 00:45:48,570
I guess we'll just have to read your story
in the <i>Leader</i> tomorrow.
610
00:45:48,645 --> 00:45:50,772
- So long, pal.
- Give me that.
611
00:45:51,815 --> 00:45:53,077
- Hello? Hello?
- Don't be silly, Julie.
612
00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:55,141
He'll just keep you up all night
listening to his fairytales.
613
00:45:55,219 --> 00:45:59,349
- Where was he calling from?
- Bellevue psycho ward, I think he said.
614
00:46:00,257 --> 00:46:01,747
Your 10 bucks.
615
00:47:13,697 --> 00:47:15,460
- Keep this for me, Heeney.
- Why, sure, Charlie.
616
00:47:15,532 --> 00:47:17,056
A couple hours.
617
00:47:17,868 --> 00:47:20,359
One more, Heeney. One for the road.
618
00:48:05,215 --> 00:48:06,739
Hello, Charlie.
619
00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:13,617
Mark. I thought you were still down
at the Bowery.
620
00:48:15,692 --> 00:48:18,024
I hear you got a story, Charlie.
621
00:48:18,195 --> 00:48:20,060
Where'd you hear that?
622
00:48:20,597 --> 00:48:25,364
- Isn't that what you told McCleary?
- Why, I was just schmoozing him, I...
623
00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:28,295
Lining him up for a little touch.
624
00:48:28,372 --> 00:48:31,432
I gave you some money.
What did you do with it?
625
00:48:31,775 --> 00:48:33,333
You didn't, by any chance,
find a pawn ticket
626
00:48:33,410 --> 00:48:36,379
- mixed in with the money, did you, Charlie?
- Pawn ticket? Why, I...
627
00:48:36,446 --> 00:48:40,177
Did you use the money
to get the story out of hock, Charlie?
628
00:48:41,218 --> 00:48:44,585
You've got something that belongs to me.
Where is it?
629
00:48:45,389 --> 00:48:47,220
You were on the way to the <i>Leader</i>
with some evidence.
630
00:48:47,291 --> 00:48:49,725
Where is it, Charlie? Where is it?
631
00:49:01,905 --> 00:49:04,738
It's a wonderful story, isn't it, Charlie?
632
00:49:05,509 --> 00:49:07,909
You wanted to be a big man, Mark.
633
00:49:08,745 --> 00:49:12,476
This will make you famous
beyond your most ambitious dreams.
634
00:49:13,884 --> 00:49:18,412
Great story?
I've waited all my life for a story like this.
635
00:49:19,456 --> 00:49:23,483
Well, you've got it, Charlie.
But you're not going to write it.
636
00:49:27,130 --> 00:49:30,622
You're crazy, Mark.
Twenty years you've covered the news.
637
00:49:30,701 --> 00:49:33,761
Seen the bright boys try this. It never works.
638
00:49:56,493 --> 00:49:59,587
We just heard about Charlie Barnes.
Rotten deal.
639
00:50:00,163 --> 00:50:04,293
It's hard when it's someone like Charlie
you've known for 22 years.
640
00:50:04,401 --> 00:50:06,164
I knew him 25 years.
641
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:10,167
I never expected to see him
laying on a slab in this place.
642
00:50:10,507 --> 00:50:15,001
Is that right, Doc? Was he found
in an alleyway across from the <i>Daily Leader?</i>
643
00:50:15,078 --> 00:50:17,205
- Steve...
- Yes, that's right.
644
00:50:17,447 --> 00:50:20,439
The <i>Daily Leader.</i> He had a story!
645
00:50:20,517 --> 00:50:23,509
But he was taking your clever,
insolent, fresh-guy advice
646
00:50:23,587 --> 00:50:27,216
- and giving it to the <i>Leader!</i>
- He was drunk, Julie. How could I know...
647
00:50:27,290 --> 00:50:29,656
Charlie Barnes never got so drunk
he didn't know a story!
648
00:50:29,726 --> 00:50:33,492
Or that he'd try to peddle
a phony tip to a newspaper! But you...
649
00:50:33,563 --> 00:50:35,394
You couldn't bother listening to him!
650
00:50:35,465 --> 00:50:38,798
You and that newsprint hero of yours,
Mark Chapman.
651
00:50:39,269 --> 00:50:41,032
You couldn't expect us to believe
that Charlie Barnes
652
00:50:41,104 --> 00:50:43,129
had any real information
on the murder, Julie.
653
00:50:43,206 --> 00:50:45,231
We still don't know that he did.
654
00:50:45,308 --> 00:50:49,711
If you and that stone-hearted, glory seeking,
"I am the great Mark Chapman"
655
00:50:49,780 --> 00:50:51,771
had thrown Charlie
the miserable crumb of respect
656
00:50:51,848 --> 00:50:54,510
of just listening to him, he'd be alive today!
657
00:50:54,584 --> 00:50:58,748
Julie, maybe you're right.
Maybe it is partly my fault Charlie's dead.
658
00:50:58,822 --> 00:51:01,882
I'm sorry. Really sorry. But what can I do?
659
00:51:02,392 --> 00:51:06,123
Don't go soft! Show Chapman
you're a chip off the old block.
660
00:51:06,596 --> 00:51:08,655
Have him give Charlie a fancy funeral.
661
00:51:08,732 --> 00:51:11,997
Great headline.
"The <i>Express</i> buries its cast-offs."
662
00:51:12,436 --> 00:51:14,097
It'll sell papers!
663
00:51:27,350 --> 00:51:31,912
Kenny, rewrite that one paragraph, will you?
Allison had a bad night. Yeah.
664
00:51:32,289 --> 00:51:35,087
I just got yesterday's figures
from circulation, Mark.
665
00:51:35,158 --> 00:51:38,491
Six hundred and ninety-six thousand.
You're moving up there.
666
00:51:38,562 --> 00:51:41,292
Looks as though it's going to cost
the <i>Express</i> some bonus money before long.
667
00:51:41,364 --> 00:51:44,765
Quicker than you can say,
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Stockholder Rawley!"
668
00:51:44,835 --> 00:51:46,666
We're only starting,
Mr. Madison, only starting.
669
00:51:46,736 --> 00:51:48,260
That's the spirit!
670
00:51:48,338 --> 00:51:50,272
When you get to the editor's chair,
remember one thing.
671
00:51:50,340 --> 00:51:54,743
You're a hero with a lifetime job,
as long as the circulation is rising.
672
00:51:55,045 --> 00:51:59,379
- What have you got there?
- Something that will keep circulation rising.
673
00:51:59,716 --> 00:52:01,581
Charlie Barnes' story.
674
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:04,378
What are you talking about?
675
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:06,820
Charlie wasn't near the <i>Daily Leader</i>
by accident, Mark.
676
00:52:06,890 --> 00:52:08,790
He had something to print.
677
00:52:08,859 --> 00:52:11,419
I couldn't find it in his effects
at the morgue this morning,
678
00:52:11,495 --> 00:52:15,932
but I found it at Heeney's bar,
the joint Charlie phoned from last night.
679
00:52:16,233 --> 00:52:19,134
Half a pawnshop ticket was still on the bag.
680
00:52:19,236 --> 00:52:21,431
Pete's Hock Shop. I checked it.
681
00:52:21,505 --> 00:52:24,838
Charlie came in the pawnshop last night
with a claim check.
682
00:52:24,908 --> 00:52:27,536
Said he was unhocking it for a friend.
683
00:52:28,478 --> 00:52:31,743
Well, what's in the bag?
Miss Lonely Heart's name and address?
684
00:52:32,916 --> 00:52:36,477
Better than that, Mark.
Much better than that.
685
00:52:38,054 --> 00:52:40,579
A picture of the guy who killed her.
686
00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:52,362
A picture?
You can't even see the guy's face!
687
00:52:52,435 --> 00:52:54,596
What's the matter, Mark?
This is the first real lead we've got.
688
00:52:54,671 --> 00:52:56,263
The way you talked,
I thought we had it all sewed up.
689
00:52:56,339 --> 00:52:59,604
Sure, it's a lead, but it's a thin one.
How much does this give us?
690
00:52:59,676 --> 00:53:04,773
Well, we're certain the dame had a husband.
They were married in 1931 in Connecticut.
691
00:53:05,248 --> 00:53:09,048
- The husband's the guy who killed her.
- How do you make that?
692
00:53:09,419 --> 00:53:11,580
The ring mark on her finger
must have been a wedding ring.
693
00:53:11,655 --> 00:53:14,055
The inscription inside
could have identified him.
694
00:53:14,124 --> 00:53:16,388
And he grabbed the pawn ticket
figuring she'd hocked some belongings
695
00:53:16,459 --> 00:53:18,893
- that might peg him.
- Makes sense.
696
00:53:19,396 --> 00:53:22,194
Charlie got the pawn ticket from the killer.
697
00:53:22,265 --> 00:53:25,701
He must have been with him sometime,
someplace, yesterday.
698
00:53:25,769 --> 00:53:28,329
A lot of people
could have seen them together, right?
699
00:53:28,405 --> 00:53:29,770
Could have.
700
00:53:31,141 --> 00:53:33,609
Splash this picture
on the front page tonight.
701
00:53:33,677 --> 00:53:35,975
Offer a reward for information.
702
00:53:39,149 --> 00:53:41,674
"Lonely Heart Killer strikes again."
703
00:53:43,153 --> 00:53:45,246
When you write the story,
say that Barnes was working on this case
704
00:53:45,322 --> 00:53:46,346
undercover for the <i>Express.</i>
705
00:53:46,423 --> 00:53:49,620
He got too close to the killer
and died in the line of duty.
706
00:53:49,693 --> 00:53:50,887
Mark, I don't know, it...
707
00:53:50,961 --> 00:53:54,863
Nobody can deny it. It'll help sell papers.
We'll offer $1,000.
708
00:53:55,232 --> 00:53:58,360
Look, kid, don't pin your hopes
on anybody being able
709
00:53:58,435 --> 00:54:02,030
to spot the guy from this.
Unless they got x-ray eyes.
710
00:54:02,339 --> 00:54:04,034
I'm sure Charlie connected
the guy in the picture
711
00:54:04,107 --> 00:54:08,601
with the bird who gave him the pawn ticket.
I'm going to fine-tooth the Bowery myself.
712
00:54:08,678 --> 00:54:11,374
It's even money
that's where Charlie ran into our man.
713
00:54:11,448 --> 00:54:12,972
Good luck, kid.
714
00:54:44,314 --> 00:54:47,875
- Well, I got them for you, McCleary.
- Good work, Heeney.
715
00:55:05,368 --> 00:55:09,634
Well, this does it. I'll never touch
another drop the rest of my life.
716
00:55:17,547 --> 00:55:19,515
'Course some of them
been sucking on the bottle all night,
717
00:55:19,582 --> 00:55:21,516
but they can still stand up.
718
00:55:21,584 --> 00:55:24,747
- They all knew Charlie?
- Yeah, they all knew him.
719
00:55:25,088 --> 00:55:29,081
If you give McCleary here
any bum information, I'll brain you.
720
00:55:29,793 --> 00:55:31,818
And I might even do worse.
721
00:55:31,961 --> 00:55:35,522
No more free shots
when you're seeing little red spiders.
722
00:55:35,999 --> 00:55:40,095
How many of you boys saw Charlie Barnes
the day he was killed? Raise your hands.
723
00:55:40,170 --> 00:55:44,197
All right, raise your mitts,
them that seen Charlie day before yesterday.
724
00:55:44,274 --> 00:55:45,366
Good.
725
00:55:48,478 --> 00:55:50,446
- Where did you see him?
- See who?
726
00:55:50,513 --> 00:55:54,279
- This guy must be used to talking to mirrors.
- Charlie Barnes.
727
00:55:54,351 --> 00:55:58,253
I seen him come out of a joint
where he flopped in the morning.
728
00:56:00,824 --> 00:56:02,815
You, where'd you see him?
729
00:56:03,460 --> 00:56:05,826
- Humpty O'Dougal's saloon.
- What time?
730
00:56:05,895 --> 00:56:10,389
In the afternoon. Late in the afternoon.
Charlie had a nice little bun on.
731
00:56:10,934 --> 00:56:11,992
Was he with anybody?
732
00:56:12,068 --> 00:56:14,036
With anybody?
Sure, he was with somebody.
733
00:56:14,104 --> 00:56:16,834
Charlie never drank by himself
if he had a little cash on him.
734
00:56:16,906 --> 00:56:19,966
- Well, do you know the guy he was with?
- Certainly I know who he was with.
735
00:56:20,043 --> 00:56:23,206
- Well, who was it?
- Me. He sprung me three slugs.
736
00:56:29,686 --> 00:56:32,678
When did you see him?
When did you see him?
737
00:56:36,159 --> 00:56:38,491
- This morning.
- Throw him out of here.
738
00:56:38,561 --> 00:56:41,086
- Wait a minute!
- What are you talking about?
739
00:56:41,164 --> 00:56:44,691
- Now, is there any more jokers in the crowd?
- I seen him.
740
00:56:45,735 --> 00:56:49,136
Yeah? Well, go on. Where'd you see him?
741
00:56:51,074 --> 00:56:53,770
On the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
742
00:56:53,843 --> 00:56:57,472
- Go on, go on.
- Nothing. He was working a sucker.
743
00:56:58,014 --> 00:57:01,177
- Giving him the pally act, that's all.
- Now think hard.
744
00:57:01,251 --> 00:57:04,243
Do you remember the sucker?
Do you remember what he looks like?
745
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,754
- Maybe.
- What do you mean, "Maybe"?
746
00:57:06,890 --> 00:57:10,826
- Maybe for 50 bucks.
- Why you...
747
00:57:11,995 --> 00:57:15,362
Do you think you could remember
for 1,000 bucks?
748
00:57:17,267 --> 00:57:19,258
Who could tell who he is?
749
00:57:19,469 --> 00:57:22,461
Can you describe
the man you saw Charlie with?
750
00:57:22,906 --> 00:57:26,273
Do I get $1,000 if I do?
751
00:57:26,443 --> 00:57:28,968
You do. If and when we find the guy.
752
00:57:29,379 --> 00:57:32,212
- Sure, I can describe him.
- Well, go ahead.
753
00:57:34,918 --> 00:57:37,819
- You paying the reward?
- No, but my boss is.
754
00:57:38,655 --> 00:57:41,647
- Then I'll describe it to him.
- Okay. Come on.
755
00:57:41,791 --> 00:57:44,385
Rush this over to the composing room.
756
00:57:44,761 --> 00:57:48,492
Kenny, see if you can figure out
a heading for that rubbish.
757
00:57:48,698 --> 00:57:50,723
Connie! Connie, take this.
758
00:57:58,475 --> 00:57:59,806
Wait here.
759
00:58:13,623 --> 00:58:15,318
Look, Lieutenant,
just refer the captain to me.
760
00:58:15,391 --> 00:58:18,189
I'll tell him he's cropping at the best
homicide man he ever had on the force.
761
00:58:18,261 --> 00:58:20,491
If he doesn't know that,
he's deaf, dumb and blind.
762
00:58:20,563 --> 00:58:22,861
Yeah, never mind the malarkey, Chapman!
763
00:58:22,932 --> 00:58:24,900
The next time
you people pull a stunt like this,
764
00:58:24,968 --> 00:58:27,596
I'll throw both you and McCleary in the can!
765
00:58:28,271 --> 00:58:31,832
Okay, Lieutenant, okay.
I give you my word. Goodbye, pal.
766
00:58:33,042 --> 00:58:35,340
Davis is screaming because we gave him
the suitcase only a half hour
767
00:58:35,411 --> 00:58:36,878
before he read it in the <i>Express.</i>
768
00:58:36,946 --> 00:58:39,437
Well, I've got something
that ought to make him happy again.
769
00:58:39,516 --> 00:58:40,744
Not another suitcase?
770
00:58:40,817 --> 00:58:44,776
A guy who can identify the man
Charlie got the pawn ticket from.
771
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:51,384
Hey, Bailey. Come in here.
772
00:59:00,103 --> 00:59:03,561
He wouldn't describe the guy to me.
He needed the boss.
773
00:59:06,643 --> 00:59:08,304
You the boss?
774
00:59:09,379 --> 00:59:13,611
Yeah, and don't waste my time.
Where'd you see this guy with Charlie?
775
00:59:15,818 --> 00:59:18,446
Down the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
776
00:59:19,956 --> 00:59:22,151
You say you can describe him?
777
00:59:41,844 --> 00:59:44,335
Well, go on. What did he look like?
778
00:59:54,057 --> 00:59:55,786
Stand up, will you?
779
01:00:04,467 --> 01:00:07,766
Yeah, just how I figured.
780
01:00:08,805 --> 01:00:10,432
You figured what?
781
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,272
He was your size,
782
01:00:17,313 --> 01:00:18,678
your build.
783
01:00:19,115 --> 01:00:21,345
Could have been as old as you.
784
01:00:21,951 --> 01:00:26,217
- Is that all?
- All you asked me was to describe him.
785
01:00:26,723 --> 01:00:30,625
That was no description!
That could fit a million guys in this town.
786
01:00:30,693 --> 01:00:34,060
- Even me.
- Well, how about the reward?
787
01:00:34,130 --> 01:00:38,123
Here, take this down to the cashier
and pick yourself up five bucks.
788
01:00:38,201 --> 01:00:41,261
- Show him where it is, Steve.
- Come on, Bailey.
789
01:01:30,186 --> 01:01:31,517
Hey, Baxter, where's Julie?
790
01:01:31,587 --> 01:01:34,078
She came in this morning,
banged this out on her typewriter,
791
01:01:34,157 --> 01:01:36,216
and told me to give it to Chapman.
792
01:01:36,292 --> 01:01:38,385
- What is it?
- Her resignation.
793
01:01:38,461 --> 01:01:42,261
I figured I'd hang onto it a day or so.
Maybe she'd cool off.
794
01:01:42,632 --> 01:01:46,261
I'm sure glad you did.
I'll take care of it for you, okay?
795
01:01:49,238 --> 01:01:50,762
Baxter, thanks.
796
01:02:00,883 --> 01:02:03,647
- Hello, Mrs. Allison.
- Well, hello, Steve. Come in.
797
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,051
Thank you.
798
01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:14,458
I have a pot of coffee in the kitchen.
I'd better see to it.
799
01:02:14,664 --> 01:02:16,564
Can I say a few words to you?
800
01:02:16,632 --> 01:02:19,533
Without getting hit with a table
or something?
801
01:02:19,602 --> 01:02:22,230
Speak your piece and get it over with.
802
01:02:22,338 --> 01:02:25,535
I just got rocked
with a bad piece of news, Julie.
803
01:02:25,742 --> 01:02:28,040
I heard about your resignation.
804
01:02:28,444 --> 01:02:31,845
Well, I can't imagine
why you'd shed any tears over it.
805
01:02:31,914 --> 01:02:33,211
Well, for what it's worth,
806
01:02:33,282 --> 01:02:36,308
your resigning knocks the props
out of a lot of things for me.
807
01:02:37,754 --> 01:02:40,655
That couldn't have come
from Steve McCleary.
808
01:02:41,791 --> 01:02:44,851
Okay, pass it. But I didn't figure
your burn at Chapman and me
809
01:02:44,927 --> 01:02:48,454
would be bigger than your wanting
to do something about Charlie's murder.
810
01:02:49,632 --> 01:02:52,829
Don't start playing me
for a hollow-headed female now, Steve.
811
01:02:52,902 --> 01:02:55,871
Your only interest, and Chapman's,
in Charlie's death is exploiting it
812
01:02:55,938 --> 01:02:59,601
- for all the circulation jumping it's worth!
- Julie, I'm not digging on a story now
813
01:02:59,675 --> 01:03:03,577
just for the school-boy bang of seeing
my name over a sensational yarn.
814
01:03:03,646 --> 01:03:06,672
Yeah, that's right, I had to get hit pretty hard
before I smartened up.
815
01:03:06,749 --> 01:03:09,309
But now I'm leveling
on the Charlie Barnes business.
816
01:03:13,422 --> 01:03:18,257
Well, if I can believe what I'm hearing,
this certainly is a different McCleary.
817
01:03:19,328 --> 01:03:20,955
I've been working night and day.
818
01:03:21,030 --> 01:03:24,227
All I've done is run the local leads
to a dead end.
819
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:29,294
There's only one gimmick left to follow.
This picture, the marriage in Connecticut.
820
01:03:29,472 --> 01:03:33,067
It's odd the person who married them
hasn't recognized it.
821
01:03:33,142 --> 01:03:36,077
Unless he's dead or hasn't seen the picture.
822
01:03:36,579 --> 01:03:40,310
Yeah, I thought of that angle, too.
But it's a million-to-one shot.
823
01:03:40,383 --> 01:03:43,716
A guy would have to be an elephant
to remember a face after 21 years.
824
01:03:44,787 --> 01:03:48,314
Tell him about the elephant we met
on Fifth Avenue, about four years ago.
825
01:03:48,391 --> 01:03:50,791
We were walking along the street when,
right out of the blue,
826
01:03:50,860 --> 01:03:53,021
a complete stranger stopped me.
827
01:03:53,095 --> 01:03:56,656
It turned out to be the little preacher
who married Julie's father and me
828
01:03:56,732 --> 01:03:59,724
in Portland, Maine, 23 years before!
829
01:04:01,404 --> 01:04:06,603
- And he actually was able to recognize you?
- And I'd put on a little weight since then.
830
01:04:07,210 --> 01:04:10,270
They say a New Englander
seldom forgets a face.
831
01:04:10,980 --> 01:04:13,813
Crazy odds, but what can we lose?
832
01:04:15,051 --> 01:04:16,416
Yeah, get this picture
833
01:04:16,485 --> 01:04:19,750
to every churchman, judge
and justice of the peace in Connecticut.
834
01:04:19,822 --> 01:04:24,259
- It's certainly worth trying.
- It's a big job. Compiling lists,
835
01:04:24,527 --> 01:04:26,620
- checking out leads.
- It can be done.
836
01:04:26,696 --> 01:04:28,687
The two of us could handle it, Julie.
837
01:04:29,732 --> 01:04:32,667
Well, I'd like to, Steve, but I've resigned.
838
01:04:32,735 --> 01:04:36,637
And I'd sooner drop dead
than ask Mark Chapman for my job back.
839
01:04:43,312 --> 01:04:45,803
- You dog!
- It never got past Baxter.
840
01:04:46,883 --> 01:04:48,908
A list of churches in each town
is no problem.
841
01:04:48,985 --> 01:04:52,318
The judges and JPs we can get
from the state legal directory in Hartford.
842
01:04:52,388 --> 01:04:54,720
Yeah, you start packing.
Enough for a couple of weeks.
843
01:04:54,790 --> 01:04:56,451
I'm going to the office
and get the lab boys started
844
01:04:56,525 --> 01:04:57,787
on knocking out a few hundred circulars.
845
01:04:57,860 --> 01:05:00,260
But suppose Chapman says no
to my working with you on it?
846
01:05:00,329 --> 01:05:03,492
Why should he? Anyway, I'm not going
to tell him anything until we're ready to go.
847
01:05:03,566 --> 01:05:04,658
Tonight sometime.
848
01:05:04,734 --> 01:05:08,898
Mom, you think it's safe for me to travel
out of state at night with this young man?
849
01:05:08,971 --> 01:05:12,702
Just so he doesn't misconstrue
the meaning of "freedom of the press."
850
01:05:12,775 --> 01:05:16,336
Hey, you wonderful woman.
I'll check with you for dinner.
851
01:05:21,417 --> 01:05:23,544
Steve, this is shot-in-the-dark stuff.
852
01:05:23,619 --> 01:05:26,452
Mark, more rabbit-brained ideas than this
have paid off.
853
01:05:26,522 --> 01:05:28,956
Your hottest lead is right here in town
where the murders were committed.
854
01:05:29,025 --> 01:05:32,290
Yeah, our hottest lead was in town,
but it dried up like a puddle in July.
855
01:05:32,361 --> 01:05:33,589
You're looking for a mental marvel,
856
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:36,154
a guy who can recognize somebody
he'd seen for 15 or 20 minutes
857
01:05:36,232 --> 01:05:38,757
at a wedding ceremony
he performed 21 years ago.
858
01:05:38,834 --> 01:05:41,394
How do we know he only saw them
for 15 or 20 minutes?
859
01:05:41,470 --> 01:05:44,200
Maybe they were members of his church
or were married by a judge
860
01:05:44,273 --> 01:05:46,298
or a justice in their own town.
861
01:05:46,375 --> 01:05:48,605
Steve, you're off
on a needle-in-a-haystack hunt.
862
01:05:48,678 --> 01:05:51,078
You can find a needle in a haystack
if you look long enough.
863
01:05:51,147 --> 01:05:53,775
You don't think I'm gonna let you
hang around up there indefinitely, do you?
864
01:05:53,849 --> 01:05:55,680
You won't have to. A week, probably.
865
01:05:55,751 --> 01:05:58,982
Julie Allison's coming along to help me.
It's all arranged.
866
01:05:59,055 --> 01:06:02,456
It's all arranged. And that five grand reward.
You arranged that, too?
867
01:06:02,525 --> 01:06:06,586
No, you did, or will.
Mark, what's eating you?
868
01:06:07,096 --> 01:06:09,257
I'm only checking out every possible angle.
869
01:06:09,332 --> 01:06:11,061
Kid, I don't want you to beat your brains out.
870
01:06:11,133 --> 01:06:13,033
We can get just so much
out of this Lonely Hearts story,
871
01:06:13,102 --> 01:06:16,128
and then we'll start easing it off
and let it die a natural death.
872
01:06:16,205 --> 01:06:19,368
Let it die? Mark, we let Charlie Barnes die!
873
01:06:20,509 --> 01:06:22,909
The least we can do now is to find his killer.
874
01:06:23,679 --> 01:06:26,443
You're the guy who pounded into me,
"Never give up till you've got the story."
875
01:06:26,515 --> 01:06:28,449
Well, I'm not quitting on this one
until I've licked it.
876
01:06:28,517 --> 01:06:30,985
You can reach me
at the Lenox Hotel in Hartford.
877
01:06:56,579 --> 01:06:57,978
Long distance.
878
01:06:58,047 --> 01:06:59,844
I want some information.
879
01:06:59,915 --> 01:07:01,906
A telephone number
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
880
01:07:01,984 --> 01:07:05,181
The name is Hacker. He's a judge.
I don't remember his first name.
881
01:07:05,254 --> 01:07:07,222
You wish to place a call to this party?
882
01:07:07,289 --> 01:07:10,383
No, no. Not yet, that is.
I just want to get his telephone number.
883
01:07:10,459 --> 01:07:12,188
<i>One moment, please.</i>
884
01:07:16,799 --> 01:07:20,235
Hello? The Middlebury operator
has no listing for anyone by that name.
885
01:07:21,037 --> 01:07:22,436
There isn't?
886
01:07:23,305 --> 01:07:25,296
Middlebury's a small town.
Will you ask the operator
887
01:07:25,374 --> 01:07:26,966
if she knows anything
about Judge Hacker at all?
888
01:07:27,043 --> 01:07:29,273
Is he deceased, moved away, or what?
889
01:07:29,345 --> 01:07:31,074
<i>One moment, please.</i>
890
01:07:35,518 --> 01:07:38,510
Hello? The local operator
has been in Middlebury for five years
891
01:07:38,587 --> 01:07:40,646
and knows no one
by the name of Judge Hacker.
892
01:07:40,723 --> 01:07:42,384
That's all the information she can give us.
893
01:07:43,959 --> 01:07:45,153
Thanks.
894
01:08:32,908 --> 01:08:35,308
No, Reverend,
I'm afraid that's not our couple.
895
01:08:36,412 --> 01:08:39,040
You may be positive, Reverend,
but you're mistaken.
896
01:08:39,115 --> 01:08:41,515
The woman in the photo we sent you
is dead.
897
01:08:41,584 --> 01:08:43,916
Thank you for calling, Reverend.
898
01:08:46,288 --> 01:08:48,153
You don't have to tell me.
899
01:08:48,224 --> 01:08:50,852
It's written all over
your bright and shining face.
900
01:08:50,926 --> 01:08:53,759
A 190-mile drive
to have a whack-head tell me
901
01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:56,423
that both the people in our circular
died a year ago.
902
01:08:57,766 --> 01:09:01,896
New Englanders remember, all right.
Every face is familiar to them.
903
01:09:04,406 --> 01:09:07,671
Hello? Just a minute, here's Steve.
904
01:09:08,110 --> 01:09:10,340
It's that man again. Every day.
905
01:09:10,412 --> 01:09:13,313
Does he think we'll keep it a big fat secret
if we find something?
906
01:09:15,284 --> 01:09:16,649
Yeah, Mark.
907
01:09:18,487 --> 01:09:20,819
Nothing but an aching back
and some interesting meetings
908
01:09:20,890 --> 01:09:22,824
with jelly-brained screwballs.
909
01:09:22,892 --> 01:09:26,555
You've had enough time, Steve. Ten days.
Admit it's a dud. Come on home.
910
01:09:26,629 --> 01:09:29,325
Two more days, Mark.
We'll stick it out to the end of the week.
911
01:09:29,899 --> 01:09:33,391
Get out of the haystack. It's easier
to find the needles at the scene of the crime.
912
01:09:33,469 --> 01:09:34,936
I'll see you.
913
01:09:35,771 --> 01:09:39,832
Two more days. I don't even know myself
why we're sticking around.
914
01:09:41,043 --> 01:09:42,772
Anything there that sounds good?
915
01:09:44,180 --> 01:09:47,946
I'll read you a fair sample.
From a J.P. Waterbury.
916
01:09:49,084 --> 01:09:52,451
"Send me $5,000
and I will tell you names of people."
917
01:09:52,655 --> 01:09:54,646
A new head I'll send him.
918
01:09:55,658 --> 01:09:58,320
I've got a headache.
I think I'll lie down for a while.
919
01:09:59,728 --> 01:10:01,855
Why don't you lie down here?
920
01:10:07,269 --> 01:10:08,998
I'll go to my room.
921
01:10:15,344 --> 01:10:17,744
McCleary. Okay, put him on.
922
01:10:18,681 --> 01:10:20,808
A guy calling from Franklin.
923
01:10:21,283 --> 01:10:23,308
Hello? Yeah, that's right.
924
01:10:25,955 --> 01:10:27,149
You do, huh?
925
01:10:29,258 --> 01:10:31,590
- You've got what?
- What is it?
926
01:10:31,827 --> 01:10:35,456
- Just a minute.
- I have the other picture right before me!
927
01:10:35,864 --> 01:10:41,131
Yes, I married them July 19th, 1931,
over in Middlebury.
928
01:10:42,438 --> 01:10:44,702
A funny thing. What's that?
929
01:10:48,143 --> 01:10:49,872
Judge Elroy Hacker.
930
01:10:50,379 --> 01:10:52,404
We'll be there in two hours, Judge.
931
01:10:52,481 --> 01:10:54,244
Sit tight
and keep your mouth shut about this.
932
01:10:54,316 --> 01:10:55,374
Bye.
933
01:10:55,584 --> 01:10:59,247
Go on, get packed.
He's liable to drop dead on us or something.
934
01:11:55,110 --> 01:11:58,102
For a man who can sit there
and watch his success increasing daily,
935
01:11:58,180 --> 01:12:00,011
you're looking much too troubled, Mark.
936
01:12:00,082 --> 01:12:03,210
It's just that these minor problems
always seem to require major thinking.
937
01:12:03,285 --> 01:12:06,379
Well, perhaps we can balance
the unpleasant with the pleasant.
938
01:12:06,455 --> 01:12:09,390
That conversation we had the other day
about your buying company stock.
939
01:12:09,458 --> 01:12:10,823
- Yeah?
- I just thought I'd tell you,
940
01:12:10,893 --> 01:12:14,920
- I think we can swing that.
- That's fine, Mr. Madison, just great.
941
01:12:14,997 --> 01:12:17,659
Well, there doesn't seem to be any doubt
you'll reach that bonus figure.
942
01:12:17,733 --> 01:12:19,064
It'll be pleasant having you as a partner,
943
01:12:19,134 --> 01:12:20,863
- so to speak, in the paper, Mark.
- Thanks.
944
01:12:20,936 --> 01:12:22,801
- Good night.
- Good night.
945
01:14:17,953 --> 01:14:19,147
Sorry to keep you this late, Mark,
946
01:14:19,221 --> 01:14:21,621
but we got hit with a mess of traffic
on the way in.
947
01:14:21,690 --> 01:14:23,157
Your wire sounded important.
948
01:14:23,225 --> 01:14:26,456
I found that needle,
or rather the man with the needle.
949
01:14:26,528 --> 01:14:29,725
Judge Elroy Hacker,
Mark Chapman, Managing Editor.
950
01:14:29,865 --> 01:14:32,925
- Glad to meet you, Judge.
- How do, Mr. Chapman?
951
01:14:33,902 --> 01:14:35,893
- Sit down, Judge.
- Thanks.
952
01:14:36,772 --> 01:14:38,672
Does the judge's needle sew anything up?
953
01:14:38,740 --> 01:14:41,231
Everything but knotting the thread
at the end.
954
01:14:41,310 --> 01:14:42,937
I mean the noose.
955
01:14:44,046 --> 01:14:45,240
What have you got?
956
01:14:45,314 --> 01:14:48,511
The identity of Mrs. Lonely Heart
and her husband.
957
01:14:49,117 --> 01:14:51,711
Judge Hacker married them
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
958
01:14:51,787 --> 01:14:54,688
Their names are Charlotte and George Grant.
959
01:14:58,827 --> 01:14:59,953
Did you get that, Mark?
960
01:15:00,028 --> 01:15:03,327
The name of the Lonely Heart Killer
is George Grant.
961
01:15:03,699 --> 01:15:05,530
Yeah, I heard you. Go on.
962
01:15:05,601 --> 01:15:08,229
Strike two. The judge is sure
he can identify George Grant
963
01:15:08,303 --> 01:15:10,203
when he sees him again.
964
01:15:10,806 --> 01:15:13,969
You see, I took this picture myself.
965
01:15:14,710 --> 01:15:17,338
A little extra service
the judge gave his bridal couples.
966
01:15:17,412 --> 01:15:20,711
Yes. I'd send them a print
and put one in my own scrapbook.
967
01:15:20,782 --> 01:15:22,579
The judge even furnished
the "just married" sign.
968
01:15:22,651 --> 01:15:24,118
Judge, you said
you married them in Middlebury,
969
01:15:24,186 --> 01:15:27,883
- but Steve found you in Franklin.
- I retired seven years ago.
970
01:15:27,956 --> 01:15:31,323
I'm partial to fishing,
so I moved over on the coast.
971
01:15:32,027 --> 01:15:34,928
I only happened
to see your circular by chance,
972
01:15:34,997 --> 01:15:37,830
in the office of a justice friend of mine.
973
01:15:40,602 --> 01:15:43,571
I always said you were born
in a field of shamrocks.
974
01:15:43,639 --> 01:15:47,769
Sure. The McClearys raised their kids
on nothing but rabbits' feet.
975
01:15:48,410 --> 01:15:52,471
Judge, what makes you so sure
you can identify George Grant today?
976
01:15:54,383 --> 01:15:57,250
Well, mainly because right after
I took that wedding picture,
977
01:15:57,319 --> 01:16:00,482
this Grant got vexed at his wife
about something.
978
01:16:01,590 --> 01:16:05,651
I can remember his voice, snapping at her.
His face getting red...
979
01:16:07,696 --> 01:16:11,598
I know what's in your bonnet, Mark.
We still have to find George Grant.
980
01:16:11,667 --> 01:16:14,363
A needle's nothing but a hunk of steel
if you've got nothing to sew.
981
01:16:14,436 --> 01:16:15,801
We just need the thread.
982
01:16:15,871 --> 01:16:18,203
I figure we'll pick that up
right here in New York.
983
01:16:18,273 --> 01:16:21,367
When the police line up all the local
George Grants for the judge to look over.
984
01:16:23,745 --> 01:16:27,416
That's Julie. I dropped her off
at headquarters to tell Davis what we've got.
985
01:16:29,251 --> 01:16:32,618
Friend Davis is steaming
like a pressure cooker, as I said he would.
986
01:16:32,688 --> 01:16:33,746
He'll simmer down.
987
01:16:33,822 --> 01:16:36,484
So will your
lining up the George Grants idea.
988
01:16:36,558 --> 01:16:40,255
Davis says he'll do nothing until you turn
Judge Hacker over to the police.
989
01:16:40,329 --> 01:16:42,763
- Steve, you can't hold...
- Relax, doll. He'll see the judge later.
990
01:16:42,831 --> 01:16:44,924
Not tonight he won't.
The judge is our exclusive beat.
991
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,230
Nobody gets to him
till our story breaks tomorrow.
992
01:16:47,302 --> 01:16:49,031
I don't trust cops.
993
01:16:51,607 --> 01:16:52,904
You and Julie start writing the story.
994
01:16:52,975 --> 01:16:56,308
I'll put the judge in a side-street hotel
where nobody will get to him.
995
01:16:56,378 --> 01:16:57,902
Come on, Judge.
996
01:17:01,316 --> 01:17:03,648
I'll just wait for Mr. McCleary.
997
01:17:04,987 --> 01:17:06,921
He was going to put me up at his place.
998
01:17:06,989 --> 01:17:08,581
That's the first place
the wolves will start baying.
999
01:17:08,657 --> 01:17:10,921
You better come with me, Judge.
1000
01:17:10,993 --> 01:17:15,157
No, I don't think it would be wise
for me to go with you, Mr. Grant.
1001
01:17:15,731 --> 01:17:18,325
- Mister...
- Chapman, Judge. Not Grant.
1002
01:17:18,734 --> 01:17:21,294
You'd better give your brain a rest.
You're gonna need it.
1003
01:17:21,370 --> 01:17:22,735
He may be Chapman now,
1004
01:17:22,804 --> 01:17:27,104
but 21 years ago, when I married them,
he was George Grant.
1005
01:17:27,509 --> 01:17:29,534
And he was a newspaperman.
1006
01:17:30,379 --> 01:17:34,145
I remember now. He said he worked
on the paper over in Waterford.
1007
01:17:34,216 --> 01:17:37,549
Waterford, Connecticut, was that town
I couldn't think of.
1008
01:17:37,619 --> 01:17:40,110
But I knew I'd remember that voice.
1009
01:17:40,422 --> 01:17:44,586
His face... You've changed.
But it's the same man.
1010
01:17:45,060 --> 01:17:48,086
You remember that $5,000 reward, though,
don't you, Judge?
1011
01:17:48,163 --> 01:17:51,428
Judge. This is impossible.
You're getting confused.
1012
01:17:51,633 --> 01:17:54,864
He sounds to me as though
he knows exactly what he's saying.
1013
01:17:54,936 --> 01:17:57,837
This is idiotic!
Screwball, crackbrained lunacy!
1014
01:17:57,906 --> 01:18:01,364
And that's just the kind of a witness
the judge is going to make, too, Steve.
1015
01:18:01,443 --> 01:18:03,240
The police have that specimen
of hair and flesh
1016
01:18:03,311 --> 01:18:05,905
found under Mrs. Grant's fingernails.
1017
01:18:06,348 --> 01:18:09,283
I think we'd better get in touch with Davis.
1018
01:18:09,551 --> 01:18:11,212
No phone, Allison.
1019
01:18:21,797 --> 01:18:26,359
Julie pegged you right off.
But me, still wet behind the ears McCleary.
1020
01:18:27,235 --> 01:18:29,328
I went for the sleigh ride.
1021
01:18:29,971 --> 01:18:35,409
I practically built the pedestal for Chapman.
The great newspaperman. The great guy.
1022
01:18:36,778 --> 01:18:41,545
There ought to be a special Pulitzer Prize
for the world's biggest sucker, McCleary.
1023
01:18:41,616 --> 01:18:44,141
Just another one of your stupid slobs!
1024
01:18:44,219 --> 01:18:45,948
Things happen, Steve,
and then there's just no end.
1025
01:18:46,021 --> 01:18:47,921
Killing my wife was an accident.
1026
01:18:47,989 --> 01:18:51,823
And Charlie. Charlie Barnes,
who never hurt a fly in his life.
1027
01:18:52,294 --> 01:18:54,057
A washed-up drunken rummy
who had nothing to live for
1028
01:18:54,129 --> 01:18:55,790
against a career
that was just reaching its prime.
1029
01:18:55,864 --> 01:18:59,322
- It wasn't an even exchange.
- You've got a great career ahead of you now.
1030
01:18:59,401 --> 01:19:02,302
That's all down the drain.
I gotta to make different plans now.
1031
01:19:02,370 --> 01:19:04,736
You should have started running
when you got my wire, sucker!
1032
01:19:04,806 --> 01:19:06,501
I gambled.
The stakes are big enough, you don't run
1033
01:19:06,575 --> 01:19:10,443
unless there's nothing else left to do.
Don't try it, kid.
1034
01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:30,190
Steve!
1035
01:19:50,986 --> 01:19:53,011
We're just too close, kid.
1036
01:19:57,292 --> 01:20:02,059
I figured I'd find you birds here.
Still playing me for a pushover, aren't you?
1037
01:20:04,032 --> 01:20:06,227
Steve, you remember how I told you
1038
01:20:06,301 --> 01:20:09,464
that someday you'd run into
a really great story?
1039
01:20:09,905 --> 01:20:11,736
Well, this one ought to do it, huh?
1040
01:20:12,474 --> 01:20:14,374
Yeah, this one will do.
1041
01:20:14,976 --> 01:20:16,603
I'll give you the lead on it.
1042
01:20:17,846 --> 01:20:18,972
"The elusive Lonely Heart Killer,

Mark Chapman, editor of the New York Express, has made the newspaper a success by pursuing sensationalism and yellow journalism. His protégé is ace reporter Steve McCleary, while successful feature writer Julie Allison is frustrated by the paper's drift towards raking the muck. One night, during a lonely hearts dance organized by the Express, Chapman's estranged wife confronts him and demands that he visit her hotel room. It is revealed that Chapman's real name is George Grant, and he abandoned his wife decades earlier, changing his identity. When Chapman rebuffs her efforts toward reconciliation, she threatens to publicize his real identity. Chapman tries to restrain her, accidentally killing her in the scuffle.
Chapman attempts to cover up his crime, posing the scene to look like an accident. The police initially believe she slipped in the bathtub, but McCleary begins covering the case, and his reporting reveals it was a murder. McCleary is eager to run the story, and Chapman must acquiesce to avoid suspicion. The "mystery" murderer is dubbed the "Lonely Hearts Killer." Charlie Barnes, an alcoholic former star reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner, stumbles upon the dead woman's suitcase, in which he finds wedding photographs showing Chapman (then Grant) and his wife. He realizes that Chapman must be the killer. Barnes contacts Allison, who has been kind to him, attempting to give her the scoop, but Chapman overhears the conversation. He intercepts and kills Barnes before he can reveal the truth to a rival publication. This act only increases public interest in the story of the Lonely Hearts Killer, much to Chapman's frustration.
Assisted by Allison, McCleary continues to track down clues and leads. Eventually he locates another photo from Chapman/Grant's wedding, although the groom is shot in profile and it is not obvious that it is Chapman. McCleary and Allison travel to Connecticut to find the judge who married the murdered woman and the man in the photograph. After a week of searching, they identify the judge who conducted the marriage. They bring him back to the newspaper building, where he identifies Chapman as the groom and thus the Lonely Hearts Killer. McCleary is incredulous, but Allison puts the pieces together and the desperate Chapman pulls a gun on them. The police arrive, and Chapman cannot bring himself to shoot McCleary. Instead, he gives McCleary his blessing to publish all details of his crimes and then commits suicide by cop.

I know how you feel, lady.

Just take your time

He had this meat ax, her blood all over it.

My brother-in-law had it.
Blood all over his hands, all over his shirt.

00:02:03,389 --> 00:02:05,687
I can't talk about it, Officer.
6
00:02:05,859 --> 00:02:08,851
I know it's rough, lady,
but I have to have the facts.
7
00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:14,298
He comes staggering out in the hall.
He says, "I did it. Call the cops."
8
00:02:15,101 --> 00:02:16,125
And then he...
9
00:02:16,202 --> 00:02:19,467
Snap it up, Captain.
Lieutenant Davis just blew in.
10
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,303
What's he going to do, Officer?
11
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:25,003
- I'm not a cop, lady.
- But you said...
12
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:27,610
All I said was,
"I had to ask you some questions."
13
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,079
I'm from the <i>Express.</i>
14
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:33,984
You made me go through all that.
Why, you're not decent! You're not human!
15
00:02:34,754 --> 00:02:38,121
- Sorry, lady. All part of the job.
- Well, well, Lieutenant Davis.
16
00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:42,252
- Say, this must have been a homicide.
- Hi, Lieutenant. Wait till you hear it.
17
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:45,092
- A messy one.
- You keep pulling stuff like this, McCleary,
18
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:50,193
and so help me, if it's the last thing I do,
I'll run you in! Now, that's a warning!
19
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:18,591
This is KL-75263. Get me Plaza-52099.
20
00:03:19,532 --> 00:03:24,401
You know, that wasn't a bad-Iooking dame.
Too bad the guy used an ax on her head.
21
00:03:25,271 --> 00:03:27,796
Spoiled some pretty pictures for me.
22
00:03:28,908 --> 00:03:31,877
Hey, Mark, have you put on the gloves
with those stockholders yet?
23
00:03:32,178 --> 00:03:34,203
Hi. No, I'm just taping up my hands.
24
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,976
<i>Well, you can tell them we got</i>
<i>another neat and gory one coming up.</i>
25
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:39,177
<i>Hatchet murder. Lower East Side tenement.</i>
26
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:41,652
<i>Wrapped up an exclusive interview</i>
<i>with an eyewitness.</i>
27
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:43,211
You got plenty of art?
28
00:03:43,289 --> 00:03:45,052
Yeah. Biddle grabbed all he could
of the body.
29
00:03:45,124 --> 00:03:49,185
A dame, very messy.
Got a great hysterical close-up of her sister.
30
00:03:49,529 --> 00:03:52,828
I'll even write the caption for you.
"I seen him with a bloody meat ax."
31
00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:54,592
Good. With that, I can sell papers.
32
00:03:54,667 --> 00:03:57,295
Give it to rewrite and we'll get it in the final.
Hold on. What do you want?
33
00:03:57,370 --> 00:04:00,237
Mr. Madison called down
from the boardroom again, Mr. Chapman.
34
00:04:00,306 --> 00:04:02,831
You hear that?
I'm letting them stew in their financial juices.
35
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:05,067
Well, don't overdo it. I like this job.
36
00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:08,273
You've never gone backwards
with me before, have you, kid?
37
00:04:08,348 --> 00:04:13,217
If we leave here, we'll bounce into
a bigger setup. I'll see you when you get in.
38
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:21,417
As one of the largest stockholders
in this corporation,
39
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:24,463
I would like to know
why the <i>New York Express,</i>
40
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:27,465
once a distinguished
and respected newspaper,
41
00:04:29,869 --> 00:04:33,600
has been allowed to become
a cheap and depraved publication.
42
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:38,835
Why has an editor been allowed
to turn a decent journal into this?
43
00:04:39,679 --> 00:04:41,613
A disgusting tabloid!
44
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,749
Pandering to the passions
of the base morons!
45
00:04:45,151 --> 00:04:47,847
I demand an explanation, Frank Madison.
46
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:54,750
Well, Mrs. Rawley, I...
In defense of Mark Chapman, I...
47
00:04:54,827 --> 00:04:58,263
Mr. Madison, I'd like to handle
my own defense, if you don't mind.
48
00:04:58,331 --> 00:04:59,855
Just as you say, Mark.
49
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:05,428
Mrs. Rawley, I think you
and the other stockholders should know
50
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:07,496
that your publisher hired me
as executive editor
51
00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:09,837
with full rights to transform this newspaper.
52
00:05:10,677 --> 00:05:14,443
He did this for a very simple reason.
He was fed up with operating at a loss.
53
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:18,611
Why did Mr. Madison hire me?
Well, he felt it was time that the <i>Express</i>
54
00:05:18,685 --> 00:05:21,745
buried its antiquated negative approach,
such as this.
55
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:25,756
But who won?
56
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:29,920
And become a positive newspaper.
We're in a business, ladies and gentlemen,
57
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:34,695
a business of satisfying the hunger
of the public for thrills, escape and news.
58
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:39,271
Here's where I took over
your highly respectable white elephant.
59
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:42,172
Instead of headlining a UN story,
we gave them a vice story.
60
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:44,368
Obviously, they went for it.
61
00:05:44,544 --> 00:05:46,239
We played down
the presidential appointments
62
00:05:46,312 --> 00:05:48,644
and concentrated
on the "Gorilla Man" killings.
63
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:51,576
Here's what happened.
Thirty or forty thousand new readers.
64
00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:54,245
Why, in a year, circulation's up over 110%.
65
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,686
And when we reach 750,000,
66
00:05:56,756 --> 00:06:00,886
we'll have to pay you a big bonus.
I'm not sure I like this at all.
67
00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:02,761
Did you like the dividend check
you got last month
68
00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:04,194
for the first time in 12 years?
69
00:06:04,263 --> 00:06:07,323
I don't like this, sir.
What kind of journalism is this?
70
00:06:07,967 --> 00:06:10,026
A newspaper
staging a cheap, vulgar display
71
00:06:10,103 --> 00:06:13,266
in order to attract
the stupid slobs of the city!
72
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,865
The thousands who will attend
the Lonely Heart dance tonight,
73
00:06:15,942 --> 00:06:18,467
these poor, friendly, unhappy people
whom you call stupid slobs,
74
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:20,569
buy and read this newspaper.
75
00:06:20,646 --> 00:06:22,944
Their loyalty helped put that dividend check
in your pocket.
76
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:26,712
And I suppose you think it's a public service
when one of your reporters is arrested
77
00:06:26,786 --> 00:06:30,745
for withholding information from the police?
Or whatever it was.
78
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:34,150
This, what's his name, McCleary person,
79
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,352
and the things he writes about!
I think he should be fired!
80
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:39,295
This McCleary person
is the best young reporter I've seen
81
00:06:39,365 --> 00:06:41,060
in 25 years of newspapering.
82
00:06:41,134 --> 00:06:43,193
Before I'll fire him,
I'll throw the <i>Express</i> up for grabs
83
00:06:43,269 --> 00:06:45,669
and go to work for somebody
who appreciates real talent on a paper!
84
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:47,262
- Mark, I'm sure...
- One last thing.
85
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:50,798
The only contract I have here is a handshake
between Mr. Madison and myself.
86
00:06:50,877 --> 00:06:53,141
Now, unless you give me full rights
to run this paper the way I want,
87
00:06:53,212 --> 00:06:55,271
I'll quit after the final edition today.
88
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:58,784
Now, I'm sorry I can't stay with you
any longer. I have a newspaper to get out!
89
00:07:06,092 --> 00:07:10,426
- Your story ready, Miss Allison?
- I'll have the rest in a minute, Joey.
90
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:13,831
Mr. Chapman?
91
00:07:16,502 --> 00:07:17,696
Thanks.
92
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:26,937
McCleary story in yet, Bax?
93
00:07:32,485 --> 00:07:34,885
How'd you make out in the torture chamber?
94
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:40,450
This is good. Give it a big play.
Mac'll do a byline follow-up tomorrow.
95
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:43,825
- What are these?
- Pics for that Lonely Heart spread.
96
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:45,820
- Junk them.
- But I...
97
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:47,092
Take Peters off the Lonely Hearts.
98
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:48,997
He's photographing these slobs
like a lineup in a soup kitchen
99
00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:50,660
instead of panting for a red-hot romance.
100
00:07:50,736 --> 00:07:52,533
- Okay. But I...
- Yeah?
101
00:07:52,939 --> 00:07:54,566
Yes, Mr. Madison.
102
00:07:58,211 --> 00:08:00,611
- Get an ax, smear it with blood.
- Yeah? Whose?
103
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,171
Yours. If you can't spare any,
use chocolate syrup or something.
104
00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:07,652
Chocolate? Goody! When I'm through,
I can make a plate of fudge. Drop in.
105
00:08:08,721 --> 00:08:12,157
So, you still insist a woman having 20 kids
is worth a feature article?
106
00:08:12,225 --> 00:08:15,422
Hi, genius.
I think it's worth a whole front page.
107
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:18,391
It scares me, this maternal instinct of yours.
108
00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:20,955
Decided where you're taking me
to dinner tonight?
109
00:08:23,736 --> 00:08:25,966
If Chapman hasn't been canned,
110
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,169
you're going to dine with the worst loser
who ever paid off a bet.
111
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:31,608
Then you'd better stash some
bicarbonate soda in your bag, princess.
112
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:32,837
You're gonna need it.
113
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:35,437
Don't count your steaks
before you hear the sizzle.
114
00:08:37,617 --> 00:08:39,608
Well, what's the word? Are you ex or still?
115
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,880
They're not dumb enough
to throw out a winner.
116
00:08:41,954 --> 00:08:44,650
Congratulations. I knew you'd stick
their stocks right back in their teeth.
117
00:08:44,724 --> 00:08:46,555
I told them if they fired me,
McCleary would quit, too,
118
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:49,060
and then they'd be in real trouble.
119
00:08:49,128 --> 00:08:50,527
I wouldn't put it past them
to try and dump you
120
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:53,929
to get out of paying the bonus that's
staring them right in their glassy eyes.
121
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,331
I've got news for you.
122
00:08:55,401 --> 00:08:57,528
I'm going to cut you in
for a piece of that bonus.
123
00:08:57,603 --> 00:08:59,298
What do you want me to do, retire?
124
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:00,566
I thought we could make a deal with Madison
125
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,698
to buy some of the company's stock.
126
00:09:01,774 --> 00:09:03,901
You know, kid,
we could end up owning this newspaper.
127
00:09:03,976 --> 00:09:06,536
- Well, that's the best offer I've had all week.
- I'll make you another one.
128
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:09,080
I'll take you to dinner tonight.
You pick the spot.
129
00:09:10,349 --> 00:09:14,012
I'll make you a better offer.
My date's buying. She lost a bet.
130
00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:17,544
The Grand Duchess from Vassar again?
The way I feel, I can put up with anything.
131
00:09:17,623 --> 00:09:19,818
- I'm more worried, can she put up with you?
- Get her ready.
132
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:24,124
We've got to be at the ballroom at 8:00.
There's no time for nose powder.
133
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:32,597
Don't break your ears with that grin.
I can see. He's still in.
134
00:09:33,005 --> 00:09:36,532
- No loud whoops of joy, baby?
- Well, I tried everything.
135
00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:39,770
I crossed my fingers,
said prayers, burned candles.
136
00:09:39,845 --> 00:09:43,713
- Who's your tailor, princess?
- Let's get out of here.
137
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,075
I've had to look at that Chapman face all day.
138
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:50,714
I've got to cover his fiasco tonight
and suffer some more.
139
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:53,987
At least just looking at you for an hour
will be a welcome change.
140
00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:57,496
- Lf you're taking me to dinner, let's go.
- Taking him?
141
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,195
Wait a minute.
Our bet was between you and me.
142
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:03,463
Our bet was loser buys dinner.
We didn't say for how many.
143
00:10:03,536 --> 00:10:06,994
- Why, you double-crossing...
- I knew you'd be a good loser.
144
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:10,807
Someday remind me to tell you about girls.
145
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:20,248
You talk a couple of these suckers
into getting married.
146
00:10:20,319 --> 00:10:21,581
These Lonely Heart slobs got the gimmies,
147
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:23,519
and we've got plenty to give them
from the advertisers.
148
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:25,284
If you talk one couple
into getting married by 9:00,
149
00:10:25,358 --> 00:10:27,883
by 12:00 we'll have a dozen lined up
for wedded bliss.
150
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,155
- McCleary, the Brooklyn cupid.
- McCleary, the human yes man.
151
00:10:30,229 --> 00:10:31,594
Hey, Julie!
152
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:34,155
- Hello, Charlie.
- Charlie.
153
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:38,225
- How are you, Barnes?
- Fine, Mark. You're looking fit. McCleary.
154
00:10:38,571 --> 00:10:39,595
Thank you.
155
00:10:39,672 --> 00:10:41,799
What goes on? Are you ghosting
Allison's features, Charlie?
156
00:10:41,874 --> 00:10:43,774
No, he's helping me with research
for that series
157
00:10:43,843 --> 00:10:45,640
on historical monuments in New York.
158
00:10:45,711 --> 00:10:47,872
You couldn't pick a better man.
I ought to know.
159
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:50,006
Remember those old days, Mark?
160
00:10:50,082 --> 00:10:53,813
Like the time I cut the phone cables
at the Lindbergh trial?
161
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:55,520
You scooped me. Almost cost me my job.
162
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:59,957
Scooped you, the wire services,
scooped everybody. That was the year...
163
00:11:00,026 --> 00:11:02,358
That was the year you won the Pulitzer Prize.
164
00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:06,826
Listen, Mark.
This stuff I've been doing for Julie, it's...
165
00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:13,200
- Mark, I think I'm ready to go back to work.
- That's fine. I'm glad to hear it, Charlie.
166
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,164
How about it, Mark? How about a job?
167
00:11:19,645 --> 00:11:21,510
- Why not?
- Thanks.
168
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:25,447
- Charlie, I'm so proud of you!
- This is gonna take a little juggling.
169
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:26,849
I won't be able to do anything right away.
170
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:28,978
Look, Charlie, I'll call you.
We're late, we gotta rush.
171
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:31,785
Sure, Mark, I know how it is,
always on the go.
172
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:35,258
- Coffee in the morning? Skinners?
- Sure thing, Julie.
173
00:11:40,199 --> 00:11:41,257
All the time I thought you were a...
174
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:43,699
- How much did you give him?
- $10. He earned it.
175
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:44,929
Ten bucks?
176
00:11:45,004 --> 00:11:47,336
- Buy a lot of whiskey.
- Did you see that rum-dumb?
177
00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:49,806
- Come midnight, he'll be in the gutter.
- Now, wait a minute.
178
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:51,274
He's an alky, Julie.
You shouldn't give an alky
179
00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:52,367
more than a buck at a time.
180
00:11:52,445 --> 00:11:55,414
You're liable to kill him.
Ten bucks, he can take a bath in it.
181
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:58,314
But... Well, this job
will change everything for him.
182
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:01,319
Job? I wouldn't have him in my office,
let alone on my staff.
183
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:04,117
In you go, sucker. Where are you going?
184
00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:07,085
I'm not going to let him go off believing this.
185
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:10,617
- Do you want to break his heart?
- Do I? What do you think you're doing?
186
00:12:10,696 --> 00:12:13,358
I'm giving him hopes and dreams.
A rummy like that lives on dreams.
187
00:12:13,432 --> 00:12:17,061
- He's happy. Why spoil it?
- Happy? Happy like your Lonely Hearts,
188
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,798
looking forward to those big romances
they've been promised?
189
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:23,069
- Only Charlie's romance is with a bottle.
- Get in.
190
00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:48,057
Biddle, don't leave that camera at half mast.
Stop goldbricking on the other guys.
191
00:12:48,134 --> 00:12:52,127
I must have got 100 shots already,
Mr. Chapman. My arm's giving out.
192
00:12:52,204 --> 00:12:56,334
You've only started. I want shots of people
from every state. Now start shooting.
193
00:12:58,911 --> 00:13:01,038
How are you doing, princess?
194
00:13:01,147 --> 00:13:04,116
Well, it's an effort,
but I'm trying to keep from screaming.
195
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:06,981
You were a real bundle of laughs
during dinner, too.
196
00:13:07,052 --> 00:13:08,781
Why don't you simmer down now?
197
00:13:08,854 --> 00:13:10,515
You're not so pretty
when your feathers are all ruffled.
198
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:13,183
Don't, Steve. I'm in no mood for levity.
199
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:17,491
- Do you feel like dancing?
- Do you figure that'll smooth my feathers?
200
00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:21,691
I've got a great idea for you. Grab yourself
one of these Lonely Heart boys.
201
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:25,066
Tell him you're a club date. Con him.
Get his life history.
202
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:28,903
- And there's your feature for tomorrow.
- Mark Chapman, Junior.
203
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:31,568
It'll sell papers, you left that out.
204
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:34,871
Happy hunting, cupid.
Mustn't let the boss down.
205
00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:38,312
Save at least one dance for me, princess.
206
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:58,034
Every time I aim my lens
at one of these walking zombies,
207
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:01,334
I think of the time
I covered the Miss America contest.
208
00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:03,705
The tears almost start to flow.
209
00:14:06,378 --> 00:14:09,370
From McCleary, you get nothing but service.
Ten minutes before 9:00,
210
00:14:09,448 --> 00:14:13,179
and couple number one. Mary and Joe
met in front of the Arkansas booth.
211
00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:16,221
It was love at first sight, almost. Right?
212
00:14:16,288 --> 00:14:20,349
Well, sure. I'm from Texas,
but I sure love that Arkansas cooking.
213
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,890
- You love her, don't you?
- Well, sure, I reckon so.
214
00:14:23,963 --> 00:14:26,158
- Mary, you love him?
- Yes.
215
00:14:26,966 --> 00:14:31,130
- See, they're crazy about each other.
- Yeah, that's fine. Hey, Edwards.
216
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:33,535
We've got a romance going here.
They're ready for the orange blossoms.
217
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,837
- Well, how do you do? And congratulations.
- Save the teeth for the bandstand.
218
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:38,171
Get up there
and make the big announcement.
219
00:14:38,244 --> 00:14:42,044
Yes, sir, Mr. Chapman.
Come with me, you lucky, lucky people.
220
00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:46,842
Hey, you ain't gonna forget about the bed
with the built-in television set?
221
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:48,614
You'll spend your honeymoon in front of it.
222
00:14:51,624 --> 00:14:55,321
- Nice going, Steve, keep punching.
- I'll get the camera boys up to cover it.
223
00:14:57,129 --> 00:15:01,862
- Did you find a feature to write about yet?
- I haven't, and I don't intend to.
224
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:05,435
This bribing of poor, ignorant dopes
into a public wedding
225
00:15:05,504 --> 00:15:07,665
is cheap, cruel and disgusting.
226
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:10,573
This whole Wild West show is ridiculous,
and I want no part of it.
227
00:15:10,643 --> 00:15:13,305
Miss Allison,
your contract has six months to run.
228
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:17,281
My contract was made with Mr. Madison
before you took over the <i>Express.</i>
229
00:15:17,349 --> 00:15:18,543
If you don't like the way I run the paper,
230
00:15:18,617 --> 00:15:21,245
I have an agreement
that might be satisfactory to both of us.
231
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,811
Take six months' vacation with pay!
232
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:30,286
No, thank you, Mr. Chapman. I'll work it out.
I like my feature writing.
233
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,898
Thinking people like it, too,
234
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:37,561
even though there aren't many of them
buying the <i>Express</i> anymore. Good night!
235
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:43,605
That's it.
236
00:15:50,382 --> 00:15:53,613
<i>Friends, brothers and sisters</i>
<i>in the Lonely Hearts Club.</i>
237
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:55,677
<i>I have wonderful news for you,</i>
238
00:15:55,754 --> 00:15:59,747
<i>living proof that this magnificent club</i>
<i>is more than just a name.</i>
239
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:04,386
<i>But first, how would you like to meet</i>
<i>the great man who created your club?</i>
240
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:11,998
<i>Mr. Mark Chapman,</i>
<i>editor of the</i> New York Express.
241
00:16:12,071 --> 00:16:14,665
<i>Put the spotlight on him, over there!</i>
242
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,782
<i>Now here's the wonderful news.</i>
243
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:37,056
<i>Meet Mary and Joe, two happy people</i>
<i>who came here tonight as total strangers.</i>
244
00:16:37,463 --> 00:16:42,400
<i>They met, they danced, they found love.</i>
<i>They're going to get married!</i>
245
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,474
George?
246
00:16:57,516 --> 00:17:00,041
<i>- As the first couple who fell in love tonight...</i>
- George Grant!
247
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:01,814
<i>...Mary and Joe will receive...</i>
- It is you!
248
00:17:01,887 --> 00:17:03,752
<i>...compliments of the</i> Express...
- Charlotte.
249
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:05,119
<i>... a wedding night in a New York hotel...</i>
250
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:08,921
Finding you here...
I was so sure that you must be dead.
251
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:11,759
George Grant is dead.
252
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:14,259
Yes, I just heard.
253
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,134
- You're the...
- We can't talk here.
254
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:19,901
We can talk at my place, George.
255
00:17:20,806 --> 00:17:23,036
We've got a lot to talk about.
256
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:26,509
Go on out. I'll meet you at the side entrance.
257
00:17:32,785 --> 00:17:35,151
The years have been kinder to you.
258
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:38,621
What is it, 19, 20?
I used to keep track, but I don't...
259
00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:41,716
What's the difference?
Now that you found me, what do you want?
260
00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:57,401
May I?
261
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:07,375
- Come on, quit stalling around.
- What was it they called you at the ball?
262
00:18:07,453 --> 00:18:08,977
- Mark?
- Chapman.
263
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:15,755
When did you change your name, George?
Right after you left me?
264
00:18:17,062 --> 00:18:18,962
So I wouldn't find you?
265
00:18:19,631 --> 00:18:21,292
You knew I was so crazy about you
266
00:18:21,366 --> 00:18:24,028
I'd look and look and look,
didn't you, George?
267
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,697
Come on, get to it. What do you want?
268
00:18:27,739 --> 00:18:32,574
You're still in a hurry, aren't you?
That's the thing I remember best about you.
269
00:18:32,878 --> 00:18:37,645
The fellow who always ran and never walked.
Had to get places fast!
270
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,749
And you got places, didn't you, George?
271
00:18:44,323 --> 00:18:46,883
Here, you need some money?
Here's some for now.
272
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,860
Money? The payoff, George?
273
00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:54,497
How much? How much for each year?
274
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:58,633
How much for the agony
and the heartbreak and the fear?
275
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:03,141
- Charlotte, cut the ham act.
- This could be for the doctor bill, see?
276
00:19:06,578 --> 00:19:10,173
I was 20 years younger then,
took things more seriously.
277
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:14,142
I can't imagine how much.
278
00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:18,087
You're boring me now, like you always did.
279
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:20,388
People always bored you
280
00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:23,155
when you didn't have
any more use for them, didn't they, George?
281
00:19:23,228 --> 00:19:25,025
Bores and nuisances, I get rid of them.
282
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:27,497
Yeah, the same gentle way
you got rid of me.
283
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:28,692
My lawyer will get in touch with you.
284
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:31,702
He'll arrange a quiet divorce
and generous alimony.
285
00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:34,671
You're an important man now,
aren't you, George?
286
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:37,038
Editor of the <i>New York Express.</i>
287
00:19:38,977 --> 00:19:43,346
I never thought I'd be the wife of the editor
of a big New York newspaper.
288
00:19:43,415 --> 00:19:47,112
You're not, and don't get any ideas
about forcing yourself.
289
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:51,020
You've got nothing to gain by refusing me
a divorce now like you did 20 years ago.
290
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:56,759
I was young then and so foolishly in love.
I wanted so much to hold onto you.
291
00:19:57,496 --> 00:20:00,021
I made all of my mistakes when I was young,
and you were the biggest one.
292
00:20:00,098 --> 00:20:02,794
I fell for an attractive hunk of flesh.
293
00:20:04,169 --> 00:20:07,627
"Hold me." You didn't try to hang on.
You strangled me.
294
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,936
I'd smother to death with you.
295
00:20:15,747 --> 00:20:19,808
Turnabout's fair play.
When you walked out on me, I died inside.
296
00:20:20,352 --> 00:20:23,116
When I walk out of here, you're gonna die.
297
00:20:23,188 --> 00:20:27,852
Everything you worked for, grabbed for,
ruined people to get, it's all gonna die!
298
00:20:27,926 --> 00:20:29,393
You're a neurotic screwball!
299
00:20:29,461 --> 00:20:33,955
I'm gonna spread your story all over town.
Mark Chapman, the great editor!
300
00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:37,829
Wife deserter!
Living under a false name for 20 years.
301
00:20:39,137 --> 00:20:42,334
What else did you cover up
living under a phony name?
302
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:44,637
Your publishers are gonna love this.
303
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:49,044
And the other papers, they'll cut you
to ribbons with this information!
304
00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,470
Hi, honey, let me have the city room.
305
00:23:33,812 --> 00:23:37,179
This is Elkins.
If you need me, I'm over in Skinners.
306
00:23:38,316 --> 00:23:41,808
What? Having breakfast. Yeah, breakfast.
307
00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:53,323
Yes, Julie, after that fortunate
and historical meeting with Mark yesterday,
308
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:57,629
I had considerable difficulty
wooing the fickle Morpheus.
309
00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:01,939
That explains it.
Those bleeding eyes today.
310
00:24:02,474 --> 00:24:05,341
Well, I did have a couple
with the boys down below.
311
00:24:05,410 --> 00:24:08,277
A sort of celebration, and then farewell.
312
00:24:11,049 --> 00:24:13,574
You should have left them long ago, Charlie.
313
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:15,916
Any man who was big enough
in his day to rate that,
314
00:24:16,555 --> 00:24:20,389
a place in Skinner's Hall of Fame,
is still too big for Dead-End Street.
315
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:25,028
No regrets, Julie. My temporary alliance
with the denizens of the Bowery
316
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:29,863
has provided me with a deeper insight
into the whys and wherefores of mankind.
317
00:24:35,674 --> 00:24:38,006
A proven medical fact,
when the human system
318
00:24:38,076 --> 00:24:40,840
has been lengthily nurtured
on alcoholic stimulants,
319
00:24:40,912 --> 00:24:44,871
any abrupt cessation of same
will result in a negative reaction.
320
00:24:45,016 --> 00:24:46,381
Absolutely.
321
00:24:47,652 --> 00:24:52,385
But I'm tapering off. I'll be a firmly-rooted
passenger on the old water wagon
322
00:24:52,524 --> 00:24:54,856
by the time Mark's ready for me.
323
00:24:57,295 --> 00:25:01,561
Charlie, don't bet everything
on Mark Chapman.
324
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:06,666
He won't let me down.
First time I felt ready, I asked him for a job,
325
00:25:06,938 --> 00:25:10,032
and what happened?
He offered me one, didn't he?
326
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:15,173
- Mr. Lonely Heart.
- Compliments of the <i>Express,</i> Myrtle.
327
00:25:15,747 --> 00:25:18,545
- I see you read. You stick with the radio.
- Yeah.
328
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:20,744
Hey, McCleary,
I read that rag of yours by accident.
329
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:23,287
Yeah, me, too.
From ax murder to Ionely hearts.
330
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:25,653
What are you trying to prove,
you're versatile or something?
331
00:25:25,724 --> 00:25:27,885
What are you gentlemen
reading our rag for?
332
00:25:27,959 --> 00:25:30,427
Trying to find out
what's happening that's news?
333
00:25:30,495 --> 00:25:32,929
Good morning, kiddies. What's the word?
334
00:25:35,066 --> 00:25:36,624
Silly, that's the word.
335
00:25:36,701 --> 00:25:38,635
Still a heaping bunch of joy,
aren't you, princess?
336
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:43,663
Lonely Hearts Ball. Journalism has certainly
changed since the old days.
337
00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:47,302
What happened to you last night?
Pulled a fast fade on me.
338
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:50,712
- Don't tell me you actually missed me?
- I needed protection.
339
00:25:50,782 --> 00:25:53,250
Some of our love-hungry subscribers
got mixed up.
340
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:56,014
They were offering me deep-freezes
and vacuum cleaners.
341
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:59,318
- I'm surprised you refused.
- How do you know I did?
342
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:02,849
Certainly heavy coverage
on the unrequited passion set.
343
00:26:03,261 --> 00:26:06,924
Our love and romance edition, Charlie.
Even the crossword puzzle.
344
00:26:06,998 --> 00:26:08,966
But nothing from the Allison corner.
345
00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:12,335
Not interested in romance, Julie?
346
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:16,465
Not the kind that blossoms
on free gas stoves and television sets.
347
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:21,235
- About that Lonely Heart gag, I've got a...
- Steve, on the radio.
348
00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:27,652
- Julie. Hi, Charlie.
- Hi, Biddle.
349
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:31,086
Police call. Dead dame in a flat
on Third Avenue. Are you interested?
350
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:33,090
Well, she'd probably be a cheerful change.
351
00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:36,685
I'm still getting the icebox treatment
from the female on my left.
352
00:26:36,761 --> 00:26:40,162
After them scarecrows I shot last night,
I figure my luck's gotta change.
353
00:26:40,231 --> 00:26:43,428
Even dead, this dame's bound
to have more glamour.
354
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:45,467
Let's give her a look.
355
00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:48,801
Thanks for the coffee, kitten.
356
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:03,785
Another scarecrow. I'm batting goose eggs.
357
00:27:05,323 --> 00:27:07,848
Dames have got to make trouble
even when they die, don't they, pal?
358
00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:11,384
Yeah, water downstairs and water upstairs.
359
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:14,531
Probably wanted a room
with a swimming pool.
360
00:27:14,966 --> 00:27:16,866
Hey, Davis, what are you doing here?
361
00:27:16,935 --> 00:27:21,031
I just wanted to see if I couldn't get
to one of our calls before you did.
362
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:22,471
This isn't a homicide?
363
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:24,531
We got a new man
on the beat here, McCleary.
364
00:27:24,609 --> 00:27:26,167
He's built like you between the ears.
365
00:27:26,244 --> 00:27:29,975
He saw a hole in the back of the dame's head
and figured she was slugged.
366
00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:31,515
What's your guess, Lieutenant?
367
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:33,949
She put the hole
in the back of her head herself?
368
00:27:34,019 --> 00:27:36,783
Yeah, wise-eyes, that's it. That's it exactly.
369
00:27:36,855 --> 00:27:40,291
She slipped in the tub
and opened her skull on a faucet.
370
00:27:40,358 --> 00:27:43,953
- What was the lady's name, Sherlock?
- The landlady says Jane Jones.
371
00:27:44,029 --> 00:27:45,360
- Do you believe it?
- Yeah, I believe it.
372
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:47,762
I'm fresh out of nursery school.
373
00:27:48,466 --> 00:27:52,402
Jane Jones, alias Jane Doe.
Say, Dave, you're really humming.
374
00:27:53,204 --> 00:27:56,401
Look, nuisance, if you so much as make
these bedsprings squeak once again,
375
00:27:56,474 --> 00:28:00,308
- I'll throw you in the tub with the dame.
- Lieutenant, please.
376
00:28:04,616 --> 00:28:08,177
You're wrong, Dave.
She was murdered. Clear as your head.
377
00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:10,347
Murdered for her money.
378
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:13,949
Why, this lady must have spent easily
six or seven dollars a year on clothes.
379
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:15,492
Why don't you go home, McCleary?
380
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,462
There's nothing around here
to interest a big newsman like you.
381
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:27,827
Look, junior, keep your nose
in your own business, or I'll run you in
382
00:28:27,906 --> 00:28:31,137
- for obstruction, suspicion and vagrancy.
- Why, sure, Dave.
383
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:33,837
I just thought there might be something
in here to help identify her.
384
00:28:33,912 --> 00:28:35,243
No suitcase, huh?
385
00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:41,715
- In there, boys.
- Okay, Steve, I got all I need.
386
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:46,957
Thanks, Dave.
387
00:28:49,127 --> 00:28:52,062
- No, not you two again.
- What do you guys do,
388
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:54,758
smell these things
before the police call is even in?
389
00:28:54,833 --> 00:28:57,301
Try to forget your mugs.
There's a lady in the bathroom.
390
00:28:57,368 --> 00:29:00,531
- Yes, so knock before entering.
- Coming through.
391
00:29:10,381 --> 00:29:12,406
- What'd you pinch that for?
- Look familiar?
392
00:29:12,484 --> 00:29:15,544
I had them in front of me all night, didn't I?
393
00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:18,747
Hey, that's off a Lonely Hearts badge!
394
00:29:18,823 --> 00:29:22,554
Yeah. How many pictures
did you and the boys take at the ball?
395
00:29:22,627 --> 00:29:24,925
Three, maybe four hundred. I don't know.
396
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:27,260
Rush the print of Miss Bathtub
through the lab.
397
00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:28,594
Then check it against the others.
398
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:30,964
- See if you can match them up, okay?
- Sure.
399
00:29:31,035 --> 00:29:34,937
- Shouldn't take more than a week.
- Yeah, but I want it done in an hour.
400
00:29:35,006 --> 00:29:36,701
- I'll see you at the office.
- Where are you going?
401
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:39,903
I'm gonna hitch a ride to the morgue.
If you match them, call me.
402
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,674
How about a ride to the morgue, Pete?
403
00:30:04,969 --> 00:30:07,096
Hey, Needle Nellie, anybody home?
404
00:30:07,172 --> 00:30:08,662
Hey, handsome.
405
00:30:09,007 --> 00:30:11,271
- How you doing, sweetheart?
- Doing all right, handsome.
406
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:13,037
Come here and give us a kiss.
407
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,815
- How's business at the morgue, Nellie?
- Dead.
408
00:30:19,551 --> 00:30:21,178
Business is dead.
409
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:25,621
- It's good to see you, handsome.
- Likewise, sweetheart.
410
00:30:25,690 --> 00:30:27,385
A long time between dates.
411
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:30,621
But right now,
I come seeking your expert female advice.
412
00:30:30,695 --> 00:30:34,131
Anybody that's lived as long as me
can give it. Shoot.
413
00:30:34,732 --> 00:30:37,565
Nellie, if you had just one dress
to your name
414
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:39,535
and you'd fastened something onto it
with a safety pin,
415
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:40,969
and maybe you were in a hurry,
416
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,008
would you take time to undo the pin,
or would you rip the whole thing off?
417
00:30:44,075 --> 00:30:46,305
- This is a riddle?
- No, seriously.
418
00:30:46,377 --> 00:30:51,041
Well, if I had 10 dresses and the house
was burning down, I'd still undo the pin.
419
00:30:51,115 --> 00:30:52,639
Any lady would.
420
00:30:53,017 --> 00:30:55,485
That's what I figured.
I just wanted a woman to confirm it.
421
00:30:55,553 --> 00:30:57,453
I love you, Nellie. I love you.
422
00:30:57,522 --> 00:31:00,047
- Where you going, handsome?
- I gotta see the doc.
423
00:31:00,124 --> 00:31:01,955
Maybe I can get you some business, Nellie.
424
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:11,364
Did you get those ringside ducats
I sent you?
425
00:31:11,436 --> 00:31:13,427
Steve! Yeah, it was a great fight.
426
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:15,438
Mishke really tore that Haybelly apart,
didn't he?
427
00:31:15,506 --> 00:31:19,840
Had so much blood spattered on my glasses,
I missed the knockout punch.
428
00:31:20,478 --> 00:31:24,175
Look, Doc,
they just brought in an accidental death.
429
00:31:24,249 --> 00:31:27,047
- They're putting her in the freezer right now.
- So?
430
00:31:27,118 --> 00:31:30,110
So, I'd like you to give her
the onceover for me. An autopsy.
431
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:33,646
Accidents are out of my province.
You know that, Steve.
432
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:35,383
It's going to be
a great World Series this year.
433
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:37,087
Yeah, that it is.
434
00:31:37,528 --> 00:31:41,362
I don't suppose you'd be interested
in viewing the festivities from a box seat?
435
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:47,132
Are you trying to bribe a city official?
436
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:51,135
Right behind first base, Doc.
437
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:11,028
Yeah. Yeah, get some prints ready.
I think we've got our front page.
438
00:32:11,095 --> 00:32:14,792
Well, this is your lucky day. Drop back,
I want you to mark my racing form.
439
00:32:14,866 --> 00:32:16,766
Get the door, will you?
440
00:32:17,368 --> 00:32:20,064
Yeah, and don't forget, I smoke cigars.
441
00:32:20,838 --> 00:32:24,831
- Hey, Steve, let me wipe those off a little.
- Wipe them tomorrow.
442
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:32,008
Will you smile again
if I take you to dinner tonight?
443
00:32:32,083 --> 00:32:34,847
- A little celebration coming up.
- What's the celebration?
444
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:37,649
Another McCleary scoop.
Getting monotonous, isn't it?
445
00:32:37,722 --> 00:32:42,557
That dinner. A two-party celebration,
or are you bringing a friend?
446
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:44,559
Just you and me alone.
447
00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:47,825
I'll smile again.
What are the fragile treasures?
448
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:52,060
Very rare items.
Pictures of a dame with her mouth shut.
449
00:32:53,071 --> 00:32:55,972
- Joey, catch the door, will you?
- All right.
450
00:32:58,676 --> 00:33:01,270
I've been waiting a long time
for a chance to say this.
451
00:33:01,346 --> 00:33:03,439
- Stop the presses!
- Did you get a morning-after story
452
00:33:03,514 --> 00:33:05,004
on any of those couples
we married last night?
453
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:07,483
I got a story from one
of the Lonely Heart Ball guests, all right.
454
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:11,079
But she didn't get married last night.
She got murdered!
455
00:33:19,964 --> 00:33:23,263
- Who is she?
- A Jane Doe. Nobody knows her real name.
456
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:25,996
The police think she slipped in the bathtub
and bashed her head in,
457
00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:30,507
- or they did until a little while ago.
- But you knew better all the time?
458
00:33:30,575 --> 00:33:32,941
After Doc O'Hanlon got through
cutting her up for me.
459
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:36,538
She died between 9:00 and 12:00 last night,
before she went under in the tub.
460
00:33:36,614 --> 00:33:38,479
No water in her lungs.
461
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:40,283
Did he find anything else?
462
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:44,788
Yeah, her killer was a man, middle-aged,
fair complexion. Had brown hair.
463
00:33:45,390 --> 00:33:47,620
O'Hanlon found that
in scraping under her fingernails.
464
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:50,593
You ran into this
just by playing a hunch, huh?
465
00:33:50,661 --> 00:33:53,858
A string from a Lonely Heart badge
was on her dress in the closet.
466
00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:57,628
The badge had been torn off.
I followed through from there.
467
00:34:00,371 --> 00:34:04,364
Well, is this a story,
this Lonely Heart murdered after the ball?
468
00:34:04,575 --> 00:34:06,805
Can you sell papers with this?
469
00:34:10,248 --> 00:34:13,342
Baxter, Jordan, Allison,
get in here right away.
470
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:15,477
They didn't know her name, you said?
471
00:34:15,553 --> 00:34:18,920
Well, she called herself Jane Jones.
How phony can you get?
472
00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:20,014
We've just been struck by lightning.
473
00:34:20,091 --> 00:34:22,025
It's a great follow-up
for the Lonely Hearts Ball.
474
00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:24,118
Tell them about it, Steve.
475
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:30,997
We'll call her Miss Lonely Heart,
no other name. Alone in the city, friendless.
476
00:34:31,536 --> 00:34:34,801
She went to our shindig last night,
hunting for a soul mate.
477
00:34:34,872 --> 00:34:37,363
Maybe she found one, the wrong one.
478
00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:39,872
Anyway, she left early,
and sometime before midnight
479
00:34:39,944 --> 00:34:41,343
she was beaten to death in her room
480
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:44,540
by a brown-haired, middle-aged man
of fair complexion.
481
00:34:44,615 --> 00:34:46,480
A smash follow-up is right.
482
00:34:46,551 --> 00:34:49,247
The killer had a head full of brains.
Good nerves.
483
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,723
He lugged her to the bathroom,
stripped her, tossed the body in the tub.
484
00:34:54,459 --> 00:34:58,520
No. No, he stood the body in the tub.
Aimed, let go!
485
00:34:58,696 --> 00:35:03,190
Bang, her head cracks the faucet.
Almost perfect crime. Ordinary accident.
486
00:35:04,035 --> 00:35:06,936
He's working smartly,
a guy with imagination.
487
00:35:07,004 --> 00:35:10,963
He takes her slip, stockings,
washes them, hangs them up to dry.
488
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,000
He wipes his prints off everywhere.
489
00:35:13,077 --> 00:35:16,274
He starts getting rid of anything
that could identify her.
490
00:35:16,347 --> 00:35:18,907
He took a ring off her,
probably a wedding or engagement ring.
491
00:35:18,983 --> 00:35:22,111
- How do you know that?
- Whitish circle, third finger, left hand.
492
00:35:22,186 --> 00:35:25,587
- O'Hanlon spotted it at the morgue.
- All right, go on, go on.
493
00:35:25,656 --> 00:35:27,954
Well, he grabs any other personal items
that might identify her
494
00:35:28,025 --> 00:35:29,856
and throws them in her suitcase and blows.
495
00:35:29,927 --> 00:35:32,361
- How do you know she's got a suitcase?
- Every dame's got a suitcase.
496
00:35:32,430 --> 00:35:34,022
But there wasn't one
in Miss Lonely Heart's room.
497
00:35:34,098 --> 00:35:35,861
This'll kick up the circulation.
498
00:35:36,701 --> 00:35:40,137
We can make the 5:00 edition exclusive.
Steve can do the lead story.
499
00:35:40,204 --> 00:35:42,263
Jordan, I want three column cuts
of the dame's picture at the ball
500
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:44,433
and the murder photo.
Allison, write me a sob story,
501
00:35:44,509 --> 00:35:46,568
"Miss Lonely Heart
won't be Ionely anymore."
502
00:35:46,644 --> 00:35:47,736
Fine job, Steve.
503
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,303
Sure, it's a great job,
but we're gonna top it.
504
00:35:50,381 --> 00:35:51,439
How?
505
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,513
- Bury her.
- Bury her?
506
00:35:57,555 --> 00:35:59,682
The best story I ever dug up, and he tops it.
507
00:35:59,757 --> 00:36:02,157
By 5:00 tonight, Miss Lonely Heart
will be selling newspapers for us
508
00:36:02,226 --> 00:36:05,923
on every street corner in Manhattan.
Now, go on, get going.
509
00:37:42,126 --> 00:37:43,787
Be seeing you, Humpty.
510
00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:31,269
Look, I've shown you everything in the shop.
That's the last one I've got!
511
00:38:35,513 --> 00:38:36,605
Mark!
512
00:38:39,283 --> 00:38:41,217
- Mark, old boy!
- How are you, Charlie.
513
00:38:41,285 --> 00:38:45,085
What distasteful mission brings you to this
unholy neighborhood, Mark, my friend?
514
00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:46,589
I'm just looking around.
I like to keep my hand in,
515
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,124
even though I am strapped
to a desk right now.
516
00:38:48,192 --> 00:38:50,126
You wouldn't mean you're keeping
your hand in by working
517
00:38:50,194 --> 00:38:51,821
on this Lonely Heart murder,
would you, now, Mark?
518
00:38:51,896 --> 00:38:53,955
I've got a staff to take care of that for me.
519
00:38:54,031 --> 00:38:56,727
You can't kid an old newshound
like me, Mark.
520
00:38:56,801 --> 00:39:00,999
Still following our old formula,
first check the hock shops for a clue?
521
00:39:01,072 --> 00:39:03,336
Didn't wanna tip your hand
to those cops in there, did you?
522
00:39:03,407 --> 00:39:05,637
I tell you I'm not down here on business.
Now stop playing hawkshaw!
523
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:08,770
Let me show you Charlie Barnes
still has the master's touch
524
00:39:08,846 --> 00:39:11,713
- when it comes to following up a lead, Mark.
- Tell me about it later, will you,
525
00:39:11,782 --> 00:39:15,684
- when you come back to work for me?
- You're afraid I'll get drunk and tip the story.
526
00:39:15,753 --> 00:39:18,881
- I'm tapering off, Mark.
- That's fine, Charlie. I'll call you.
527
00:39:18,956 --> 00:39:23,825
Let me work this with you, Mark. I know
this whole district from gutter to rum-heads.
528
00:39:23,894 --> 00:39:26,226
Pete in the pawnshop's
an honored friend of mine.
529
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:27,992
- Yeah.
- I can get him to work with me and...
530
00:39:28,065 --> 00:39:30,898
- Hello, Charlie!
- Go away.
531
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:35,400
- Here, Charlie, here's something to count.
- I don't want a handout, Mark.
532
00:39:35,473 --> 00:39:37,498
- I want to work.
- You can pay me later. I'll call you, Charlie.
533
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:39,338
Mark, let me help...
534
00:40:13,544 --> 00:40:14,704
Hang onto them, Pete.
535
00:40:14,779 --> 00:40:17,873
We'll drop back payday
and look them over again.
536
00:40:25,022 --> 00:40:26,489
Them guys should wear glasses.
537
00:40:26,557 --> 00:40:29,185
They do so much looking,
but never no buying.
538
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:31,125
Get this for me, Pete.
539
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:34,356
Taking something out for a change
instead of putting it in, Charlie?
540
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:37,526
I admit to the novelty of the occasion, Peter.
541
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:50,109
- Hey, you didn't hock this with me.
- Doing a favor for a friend.
542
00:40:52,082 --> 00:40:56,178
Them cops. You know, if someday
they should buy something from me, I'd...
543
00:40:56,253 --> 00:40:59,620
No, that'd be bad. I'd drop dead.
544
00:41:02,226 --> 00:41:06,185
You know, Charlie, I ought to be
in some other kind of business.
545
00:41:06,697 --> 00:41:10,497
You really meet a very poor class of people
in this business.
546
00:41:10,768 --> 00:41:13,259
Not meaning anything personal,
you understand.
547
00:41:13,337 --> 00:41:16,773
But I'm always dealing with people
who are in trouble,
548
00:41:17,274 --> 00:41:21,608
people who gotta hock something.
People who gotta buy something cheap.
549
00:41:24,582 --> 00:41:28,109
I don't like cheap things.
I never did and I never will.
550
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:34,356
I should have been big fur man, maybe,
or big jewelry man.
551
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,651
Then I could deal with rich people.
552
00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:42,554
That's the kind of people
I really prefer to deal with.
553
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:47,694
- Hey! How much is on this ticket?
- Two bucks.
554
00:41:58,249 --> 00:41:59,841
Here, sign here.
555
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:08,424
You know, sometimes they say
even the rich people aren't happy.
556
00:42:08,492 --> 00:42:11,017
But how that could be, I don't know.
557
00:42:12,296 --> 00:42:15,857
Thank you, Peter.
Thank you for being in business!
558
00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:21,433
Thank you very much.
559
00:42:33,517 --> 00:42:35,041
A shot, Heeney.
560
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:38,614
You look like your blood pressure's boiling,
Charlie. What's the matter?
561
00:42:38,689 --> 00:42:40,680
The classic irony of the age, Heeney.
562
00:42:40,758 --> 00:42:43,659
Charlie Barnes, a stewbum,
rocking the newspaper world
563
00:42:43,727 --> 00:42:46,457
like he never did in all his sober days.
564
00:43:00,411 --> 00:43:02,208
- Composing.
- Yes, sir.
565
00:43:04,481 --> 00:43:07,712
Yes. Yes, madam,
I have two answers for you.
566
00:43:08,185 --> 00:43:11,313
First, you shouldn't talk
to strange men in bars.
567
00:43:11,388 --> 00:43:13,982
Second, because he asked you to marry him
568
00:43:14,058 --> 00:43:16,356
then hit you with a pretzel dish
when you refused
569
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:19,191
isn't conclusive proof
he's our Lonely Heart Killer,
570
00:43:19,263 --> 00:43:21,697
but thanks for calling, lady. Bye.
571
00:43:23,334 --> 00:43:26,326
Phony or not,
those tips belong to the police.
572
00:43:26,704 --> 00:43:30,299
When are you going to get rid of the idea
you're wearing an invisible badge?
573
00:43:30,374 --> 00:43:34,140
Julie Allison. Hello, Charlie. How are you?
574
00:43:36,714 --> 00:43:38,181
The Lonely Heart murder?
575
00:43:38,248 --> 00:43:42,844
And you've got to meet me right away.
We have to figure out how to handle this.
576
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,514
I know the killer, and it's dynamite.
577
00:43:46,757 --> 00:43:48,952
Well, Charlie,
that story is really Steve McCleary's.
578
00:43:49,026 --> 00:43:52,587
- I think you'd better talk to...
- No, no, Julie, I want you to have this.
579
00:43:52,663 --> 00:43:55,393
Now I can repay you, Julie child,
for everything.
580
00:43:55,466 --> 00:43:59,596
Julie, this is so... It's so tremendous,
it'll put both of us on top.
581
00:44:02,272 --> 00:44:04,035
What? What, Julie?
582
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:08,835
Okay, okay, both of you meet me.
583
00:44:08,912 --> 00:44:11,540
Maybe we will need
somebody like McCleary.
584
00:44:11,615 --> 00:44:14,175
Steve, Charlie says
he has information on the murder.
585
00:44:14,251 --> 00:44:18,654
- He's awfully excited about something.
- About two quarts full, probably.
586
00:44:19,890 --> 00:44:21,881
Yeah, Charlie, what's up?
587
00:44:22,726 --> 00:44:25,695
I wanted Julie to have this,
but she insists you be on in it.
588
00:44:25,763 --> 00:44:27,663
I mean you be in on it.
589
00:44:27,965 --> 00:44:30,297
- What's the matter, Charlie?
- No.
590
00:44:31,368 --> 00:44:34,462
- What? You're not sore, are you?
- No, go away!
591
00:44:36,006 --> 00:44:38,099
What? What have I got?
592
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:40,939
I've got the Lonely Heart Killer for you,
that's what!
593
00:44:41,011 --> 00:44:44,777
Gee, Charlie, that's great.
You getting him crocked so he'll confess?
594
00:44:44,848 --> 00:44:48,807
I haven't got him. I know who he is.
595
00:44:54,858 --> 00:44:55,950
What?
596
00:44:59,563 --> 00:45:03,465
Yes, I'm in a saloon.
I'm in Heeney's. But I'm not drunk.
597
00:45:04,034 --> 00:45:07,128
I've just taken the hottest story
of the century out of hock, and I'm gonna...
598
00:45:08,038 --> 00:45:11,064
He's really flying tonight.
See what your 10 bucks did?
599
00:45:11,141 --> 00:45:15,009
Stop treating him like some
weak-minded child. Listen to what he's got.
600
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:19,482
- He's not this excited for nothing.
- You know what he's got? The DTs.
601
00:45:19,616 --> 00:45:21,675
Charlie Barnes, tanked to the eyeballs,
602
00:45:21,752 --> 00:45:24,880
says he just took the Lonely Heart
murder solution out of hock.
603
00:45:26,056 --> 00:45:29,583
Hello, Charlie?
Still there? Let's start all over again.
604
00:45:30,294 --> 00:45:34,788
Listen, you mental midget. The only reason
I'm calling the <i>Express</i> is Julie Allison.
605
00:45:34,865 --> 00:45:37,732
Before I'd give this story
to an insolent young pup like you,
606
00:45:37,801 --> 00:45:39,792
I'd take it to the <i>Daily Leader!</i>
607
00:45:39,870 --> 00:45:42,304
Charlie's mad now.
Gonna sell it to the <i>Leader.</i>
608
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:46,069
- Hang up on the drunken slob.
- Julie? She just left.
609
00:45:46,477 --> 00:45:48,570
I guess we'll just have to read your story
in the <i>Leader</i> tomorrow.
610
00:45:48,645 --> 00:45:50,772
- So long, pal.
- Give me that.
611
00:45:51,815 --> 00:45:53,077
- Hello? Hello?
- Don't be silly, Julie.
612
00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:55,141
He'll just keep you up all night
listening to his fairytales.
613
00:45:55,219 --> 00:45:59,349
- Where was he calling from?
- Bellevue psycho ward, I think he said.
614
00:46:00,257 --> 00:46:01,747
Your 10 bucks.
615
00:47:13,697 --> 00:47:15,460
- Keep this for me, Heeney.
- Why, sure, Charlie.
616
00:47:15,532 --> 00:47:17,056
A couple hours.
617
00:47:17,868 --> 00:47:20,359
One more, Heeney. One for the road.
618
00:48:05,215 --> 00:48:06,739
Hello, Charlie.
619
00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:13,617
Mark. I thought you were still down
at the Bowery.
620
00:48:15,692 --> 00:48:18,024
I hear you got a story, Charlie.
621
00:48:18,195 --> 00:48:20,060
Where'd you hear that?
622
00:48:20,597 --> 00:48:25,364
- Isn't that what you told McCleary?
- Why, I was just schmoozing him, I...
623
00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:28,295
Lining him up for a little touch.
624
00:48:28,372 --> 00:48:31,432
I gave you some money.
What did you do with it?
625
00:48:31,775 --> 00:48:33,333
You didn't, by any chance,
find a pawn ticket
626
00:48:33,410 --> 00:48:36,379
- mixed in with the money, did you, Charlie?
- Pawn ticket? Why, I...
627
00:48:36,446 --> 00:48:40,177
Did you use the money
to get the story out of hock, Charlie?
628
00:48:41,218 --> 00:48:44,585
You've got something that belongs to me.
Where is it?
629
00:48:45,389 --> 00:48:47,220
You were on the way to the <i>Leader</i>
with some evidence.
630
00:48:47,291 --> 00:48:49,725
Where is it, Charlie? Where is it?
631
00:49:01,905 --> 00:49:04,738
It's a wonderful story, isn't it, Charlie?
632
00:49:05,509 --> 00:49:07,909
You wanted to be a big man, Mark.
633
00:49:08,745 --> 00:49:12,476
This will make you famous
beyond your most ambitious dreams.
634
00:49:13,884 --> 00:49:18,412
Great story?
I've waited all my life for a story like this.
635
00:49:19,456 --> 00:49:23,483
Well, you've got it, Charlie.
But you're not going to write it.
636
00:49:27,130 --> 00:49:30,622
You're crazy, Mark.
Twenty years you've covered the news.
637
00:49:30,701 --> 00:49:33,761
Seen the bright boys try this. It never works.
638
00:49:56,493 --> 00:49:59,587
We just heard about Charlie Barnes.
Rotten deal.
639
00:50:00,163 --> 00:50:04,293
It's hard when it's someone like Charlie
you've known for 22 years.
640
00:50:04,401 --> 00:50:06,164
I knew him 25 years.
641
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:10,167
I never expected to see him
laying on a slab in this place.
642
00:50:10,507 --> 00:50:15,001
Is that right, Doc? Was he found
in an alleyway across from the <i>Daily Leader?</i>
643
00:50:15,078 --> 00:50:17,205
- Steve...
- Yes, that's right.
644
00:50:17,447 --> 00:50:20,439
The <i>Daily Leader.</i> He had a story!
645
00:50:20,517 --> 00:50:23,509
But he was taking your clever,
insolent, fresh-guy advice
646
00:50:23,587 --> 00:50:27,216
- and giving it to the <i>Leader!</i>
- He was drunk, Julie. How could I know...
647
00:50:27,290 --> 00:50:29,656
Charlie Barnes never got so drunk
he didn't know a story!
648
00:50:29,726 --> 00:50:33,492
Or that he'd try to peddle
a phony tip to a newspaper! But you...
649
00:50:33,563 --> 00:50:35,394
You couldn't bother listening to him!
650
00:50:35,465 --> 00:50:38,798
You and that newsprint hero of yours,
Mark Chapman.
651
00:50:39,269 --> 00:50:41,032
You couldn't expect us to believe
that Charlie Barnes
652
00:50:41,104 --> 00:50:43,129
had any real information
on the murder, Julie.
653
00:50:43,206 --> 00:50:45,231
We still don't know that he did.
654
00:50:45,308 --> 00:50:49,711
If you and that stone-hearted, glory seeking,
"I am the great Mark Chapman"
655
00:50:49,780 --> 00:50:51,771
had thrown Charlie
the miserable crumb of respect
656
00:50:51,848 --> 00:50:54,510
of just listening to him, he'd be alive today!
657
00:50:54,584 --> 00:50:58,748
Julie, maybe you're right.
Maybe it is partly my fault Charlie's dead.
658
00:50:58,822 --> 00:51:01,882
I'm sorry. Really sorry. But what can I do?
659
00:51:02,392 --> 00:51:06,123
Don't go soft! Show Chapman
you're a chip off the old block.
660
00:51:06,596 --> 00:51:08,655
Have him give Charlie a fancy funeral.
661
00:51:08,732 --> 00:51:11,997
Great headline.
"The <i>Express</i> buries its cast-offs."
662
00:51:12,436 --> 00:51:14,097
It'll sell papers!
663
00:51:27,350 --> 00:51:31,912
Kenny, rewrite that one paragraph, will you?
Allison had a bad night. Yeah.
664
00:51:32,289 --> 00:51:35,087
I just got yesterday's figures
from circulation, Mark.
665
00:51:35,158 --> 00:51:38,491
Six hundred and ninety-six thousand.
You're moving up there.
666
00:51:38,562 --> 00:51:41,292
Looks as though it's going to cost
the <i>Express</i> some bonus money before long.
667
00:51:41,364 --> 00:51:44,765
Quicker than you can say,
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Stockholder Rawley!"
668
00:51:44,835 --> 00:51:46,666
We're only starting,
Mr. Madison, only starting.
669
00:51:46,736 --> 00:51:48,260
That's the spirit!
670
00:51:48,338 --> 00:51:50,272
When you get to the editor's chair,
remember one thing.
671
00:51:50,340 --> 00:51:54,743
You're a hero with a lifetime job,
as long as the circulation is rising.
672
00:51:55,045 --> 00:51:59,379
- What have you got there?
- Something that will keep circulation rising.
673
00:51:59,716 --> 00:52:01,581
Charlie Barnes' story.
674
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:04,378
What are you talking about?
675
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:06,820
Charlie wasn't near the <i>Daily Leader</i>
by accident, Mark.
676
00:52:06,890 --> 00:52:08,790
He had something to print.
677
00:52:08,859 --> 00:52:11,419
I couldn't find it in his effects
at the morgue this morning,
678
00:52:11,495 --> 00:52:15,932
but I found it at Heeney's bar,
the joint Charlie phoned from last night.
679
00:52:16,233 --> 00:52:19,134
Half a pawnshop ticket was still on the bag.
680
00:52:19,236 --> 00:52:21,431
Pete's Hock Shop. I checked it.
681
00:52:21,505 --> 00:52:24,838
Charlie came in the pawnshop last night
with a claim check.
682
00:52:24,908 --> 00:52:27,536
Said he was unhocking it for a friend.
683
00:52:28,478 --> 00:52:31,743
Well, what's in the bag?
Miss Lonely Heart's name and address?
684
00:52:32,916 --> 00:52:36,477
Better than that, Mark.
Much better than that.
685
00:52:38,054 --> 00:52:40,579
A picture of the guy who killed her.
686
00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:52,362
A picture?
You can't even see the guy's face!
687
00:52:52,435 --> 00:52:54,596
What's the matter, Mark?
This is the first real lead we've got.
688
00:52:54,671 --> 00:52:56,263
The way you talked,
I thought we had it all sewed up.
689
00:52:56,339 --> 00:52:59,604
Sure, it's a lead, but it's a thin one.
How much does this give us?
690
00:52:59,676 --> 00:53:04,773
Well, we're certain the dame had a husband.
They were married in 1931 in Connecticut.
691
00:53:05,248 --> 00:53:09,048
- The husband's the guy who killed her.
- How do you make that?
692
00:53:09,419 --> 00:53:11,580
The ring mark on her finger
must have been a wedding ring.
693
00:53:11,655 --> 00:53:14,055
The inscription inside
could have identified him.
694
00:53:14,124 --> 00:53:16,388
And he grabbed the pawn ticket
figuring she'd hocked some belongings
695
00:53:16,459 --> 00:53:18,893
- that might peg him.
- Makes sense.
696
00:53:19,396 --> 00:53:22,194
Charlie got the pawn ticket from the killer.
697
00:53:22,265 --> 00:53:25,701
He must have been with him sometime,
someplace, yesterday.
698
00:53:25,769 --> 00:53:28,329
A lot of people
could have seen them together, right?
699
00:53:28,405 --> 00:53:29,770
Could have.
700
00:53:31,141 --> 00:53:33,609
Splash this picture
on the front page tonight.
701
00:53:33,677 --> 00:53:35,975
Offer a reward for information.
702
00:53:39,149 --> 00:53:41,674
"Lonely Heart Killer strikes again."
703
00:53:43,153 --> 00:53:45,246
When you write the story,
say that Barnes was working on this case
704
00:53:45,322 --> 00:53:46,346
undercover for the <i>Express.</i>
705
00:53:46,423 --> 00:53:49,620
He got too close to the killer
and died in the line of duty.
706
00:53:49,693 --> 00:53:50,887
Mark, I don't know, it...
707
00:53:50,961 --> 00:53:54,863
Nobody can deny it. It'll help sell papers.
We'll offer $1,000.
708
00:53:55,232 --> 00:53:58,360
Look, kid, don't pin your hopes
on anybody being able
709
00:53:58,435 --> 00:54:02,030
to spot the guy from this.
Unless they got x-ray eyes.
710
00:54:02,339 --> 00:54:04,034
I'm sure Charlie connected
the guy in the picture
711
00:54:04,107 --> 00:54:08,601
with the bird who gave him the pawn ticket.
I'm going to fine-tooth the Bowery myself.
712
00:54:08,678 --> 00:54:11,374
It's even money
that's where Charlie ran into our man.
713
00:54:11,448 --> 00:54:12,972
Good luck, kid.
714
00:54:44,314 --> 00:54:47,875
- Well, I got them for you, McCleary.
- Good work, Heeney.
715
00:55:05,368 --> 00:55:09,634
Well, this does it. I'll never touch
another drop the rest of my life.
716
00:55:17,547 --> 00:55:19,515
'Course some of them
been sucking on the bottle all night,
717
00:55:19,582 --> 00:55:21,516
but they can still stand up.
718
00:55:21,584 --> 00:55:24,747
- They all knew Charlie?
- Yeah, they all knew him.
719
00:55:25,088 --> 00:55:29,081
If you give McCleary here
any bum information, I'll brain you.
720
00:55:29,793 --> 00:55:31,818
And I might even do worse.
721
00:55:31,961 --> 00:55:35,522
No more free shots
when you're seeing little red spiders.
722
00:55:35,999 --> 00:55:40,095
How many of you boys saw Charlie Barnes
the day he was killed? Raise your hands.
723
00:55:40,170 --> 00:55:44,197
All right, raise your mitts,
them that seen Charlie day before yesterday.
724
00:55:44,274 --> 00:55:45,366
Good.
725
00:55:48,478 --> 00:55:50,446
- Where did you see him?
- See who?
726
00:55:50,513 --> 00:55:54,279
- This guy must be used to talking to mirrors.
- Charlie Barnes.
727
00:55:54,351 --> 00:55:58,253
I seen him come out of a joint
where he flopped in the morning.
728
00:56:00,824 --> 00:56:02,815
You, where'd you see him?
729
00:56:03,460 --> 00:56:05,826
- Humpty O'Dougal's saloon.
- What time?
730
00:56:05,895 --> 00:56:10,389
In the afternoon. Late in the afternoon.
Charlie had a nice little bun on.
731
00:56:10,934 --> 00:56:11,992
Was he with anybody?
732
00:56:12,068 --> 00:56:14,036
With anybody?
Sure, he was with somebody.
733
00:56:14,104 --> 00:56:16,834
Charlie never drank by himself
if he had a little cash on him.
734
00:56:16,906 --> 00:56:19,966
- Well, do you know the guy he was with?
- Certainly I know who he was with.
735
00:56:20,043 --> 00:56:23,206
- Well, who was it?
- Me. He sprung me three slugs.
736
00:56:29,686 --> 00:56:32,678
When did you see him?
When did you see him?
737
00:56:36,159 --> 00:56:38,491
- This morning.
- Throw him out of here.
738
00:56:38,561 --> 00:56:41,086
- Wait a minute!
- What are you talking about?
739
00:56:41,164 --> 00:56:44,691
- Now, is there any more jokers in the crowd?
- I seen him.
740
00:56:45,735 --> 00:56:49,136
Yeah? Well, go on. Where'd you see him?
741
00:56:51,074 --> 00:56:53,770
On the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
742
00:56:53,843 --> 00:56:57,472
- Go on, go on.
- Nothing. He was working a sucker.
743
00:56:58,014 --> 00:57:01,177
- Giving him the pally act, that's all.
- Now think hard.
744
00:57:01,251 --> 00:57:04,243
Do you remember the sucker?
Do you remember what he looks like?
745
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,754
- Maybe.
- What do you mean, "Maybe"?
746
00:57:06,890 --> 00:57:10,826
- Maybe for 50 bucks.
- Why you...
747
00:57:11,995 --> 00:57:15,362
Do you think you could remember
for 1,000 bucks?
748
00:57:17,267 --> 00:57:19,258
Who could tell who he is?
749
00:57:19,469 --> 00:57:22,461
Can you describe
the man you saw Charlie with?
750
00:57:22,906 --> 00:57:26,273
Do I get $1,000 if I do?
751
00:57:26,443 --> 00:57:28,968
You do. If and when we find the guy.
752
00:57:29,379 --> 00:57:32,212
- Sure, I can describe him.
- Well, go ahead.
753
00:57:34,918 --> 00:57:37,819
- You paying the reward?
- No, but my boss is.
754
00:57:38,655 --> 00:57:41,647
- Then I'll describe it to him.
- Okay. Come on.
755
00:57:41,791 --> 00:57:44,385
Rush this over to the composing room.
756
00:57:44,761 --> 00:57:48,492
Kenny, see if you can figure out
a heading for that rubbish.
757
00:57:48,698 --> 00:57:50,723
Connie! Connie, take this.
758
00:57:58,475 --> 00:57:59,806
Wait here.
759
00:58:13,623 --> 00:58:15,318
Look, Lieutenant,
just refer the captain to me.
760
00:58:15,391 --> 00:58:18,189
I'll tell him he's cropping at the best
homicide man he ever had on the force.
761
00:58:18,261 --> 00:58:20,491
If he doesn't know that,
he's deaf, dumb and blind.
762
00:58:20,563 --> 00:58:22,861
Yeah, never mind the malarkey, Chapman!
763
00:58:22,932 --> 00:58:24,900
The next time
you people pull a stunt like this,
764
00:58:24,968 --> 00:58:27,596
I'll throw both you and McCleary in the can!
765
00:58:28,271 --> 00:58:31,832
Okay, Lieutenant, okay.
I give you my word. Goodbye, pal.
766
00:58:33,042 --> 00:58:35,340
Davis is screaming because we gave him
the suitcase only a half hour
767
00:58:35,411 --> 00:58:36,878
before he read it in the <i>Express.</i>
768
00:58:36,946 --> 00:58:39,437
Well, I've got something
that ought to make him happy again.
769
00:58:39,516 --> 00:58:40,744
Not another suitcase?
770
00:58:40,817 --> 00:58:44,776
A guy who can identify the man
Charlie got the pawn ticket from.
771
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:51,384
Hey, Bailey. Come in here.
772
00:59:00,103 --> 00:59:03,561
He wouldn't describe the guy to me.
He needed the boss.
773
00:59:06,643 --> 00:59:08,304
You the boss?
774
00:59:09,379 --> 00:59:13,611
Yeah, and don't waste my time.
Where'd you see this guy with Charlie?
775
00:59:15,818 --> 00:59:18,446
Down the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
776
00:59:19,956 --> 00:59:22,151
You say you can describe him?
777
00:59:41,844 --> 00:59:44,335
Well, go on. What did he look like?
778
00:59:54,057 --> 00:59:55,786
Stand up, will you?
779
01:00:04,467 --> 01:00:07,766
Yeah, just how I figured.
780
01:00:08,805 --> 01:00:10,432
You figured what?
781
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,272
He was your size,
782
01:00:17,313 --> 01:00:18,678
your build.
783
01:00:19,115 --> 01:00:21,345
Could have been as old as you.
784
01:00:21,951 --> 01:00:26,217
- Is that all?
- All you asked me was to describe him.
785
01:00:26,723 --> 01:00:30,625
That was no description!
That could fit a million guys in this town.
786
01:00:30,693 --> 01:00:34,060
- Even me.
- Well, how about the reward?
787
01:00:34,130 --> 01:00:38,123
Here, take this down to the cashier
and pick yourself up five bucks.
788
01:00:38,201 --> 01:00:41,261
- Show him where it is, Steve.
- Come on, Bailey.
789
01:01:30,186 --> 01:01:31,517
Hey, Baxter, where's Julie?
790
01:01:31,587 --> 01:01:34,078
She came in this morning,
banged this out on her typewriter,
791
01:01:34,157 --> 01:01:36,216
and told me to give it to Chapman.
792
01:01:36,292 --> 01:01:38,385
- What is it?
- Her resignation.
793
01:01:38,461 --> 01:01:42,261
I figured I'd hang onto it a day or so.
Maybe she'd cool off.
794
01:01:42,632 --> 01:01:46,261
I'm sure glad you did.
I'll take care of it for you, okay?
795
01:01:49,238 --> 01:01:50,762
Baxter, thanks.
796
01:02:00,883 --> 01:02:03,647
- Hello, Mrs. Allison.
- Well, hello, Steve. Come in.
797
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,051
Thank you.
798
01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:14,458
I have a pot of coffee in the kitchen.
I'd better see to it.
799
01:02:14,664 --> 01:02:16,564
Can I say a few words to you?
800
01:02:16,632 --> 01:02:19,533
Without getting hit with a table
or something?
801
01:02:19,602 --> 01:02:22,230
Speak your piece and get it over with.
802
01:02:22,338 --> 01:02:25,535
I just got rocked
with a bad piece of news, Julie.
803
01:02:25,742 --> 01:02:28,040
I heard about your resignation.
804
01:02:28,444 --> 01:02:31,845
Well, I can't imagine
why you'd shed any tears over it.
805
01:02:31,914 --> 01:02:33,211
Well, for what it's worth,
806
01:02:33,282 --> 01:02:36,308
your resigning knocks the props
out of a lot of things for me.
807
01:02:37,754 --> 01:02:40,655
That couldn't have come
from Steve McCleary.
808
01:02:41,791 --> 01:02:44,851
Okay, pass it. But I didn't figure
your burn at Chapman and me
809
01:02:44,927 --> 01:02:48,454
would be bigger than your wanting
to do something about Charlie's murder.
810
01:02:49,632 --> 01:02:52,829
Don't start playing me
for a hollow-headed female now, Steve.
811
01:02:52,902 --> 01:02:55,871
Your only interest, and Chapman's,
in Charlie's death is exploiting it
812
01:02:55,938 --> 01:02:59,601
- for all the circulation jumping it's worth!
- Julie, I'm not digging on a story now
813
01:02:59,675 --> 01:03:03,577
just for the school-boy bang of seeing
my name over a sensational yarn.
814
01:03:03,646 --> 01:03:06,672
Yeah, that's right, I had to get hit pretty hard
before I smartened up.
815
01:03:06,749 --> 01:03:09,309
But now I'm leveling
on the Charlie Barnes business.
816
01:03:13,422 --> 01:03:18,257
Well, if I can believe what I'm hearing,
this certainly is a different McCleary.
817
01:03:19,328 --> 01:03:20,955
I've been working night and day.
818
01:03:21,030 --> 01:03:24,227
All I've done is run the local leads
to a dead end.
819
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:29,294
There's only one gimmick left to follow.
This picture, the marriage in Connecticut.
820
01:03:29,472 --> 01:03:33,067
It's odd the person who married them
hasn't recognized it.
821
01:03:33,142 --> 01:03:36,077
Unless he's dead or hasn't seen the picture.
822
01:03:36,579 --> 01:03:40,310
Yeah, I thought of that angle, too.
But it's a million-to-one shot.
823
01:03:40,383 --> 01:03:43,716
A guy would have to be an elephant
to remember a face after 21 years.
824
01:03:44,787 --> 01:03:48,314
Tell him about the elephant we met
on Fifth Avenue, about four years ago.
825
01:03:48,391 --> 01:03:50,791
We were walking along the street when,
right out of the blue,
826
01:03:50,860 --> 01:03:53,021
a complete stranger stopped me.
827
01:03:53,095 --> 01:03:56,656
It turned out to be the little preacher
who married Julie's father and me
828
01:03:56,732 --> 01:03:59,724
in Portland, Maine, 23 years before!
829
01:04:01,404 --> 01:04:06,603
- And he actually was able to recognize you?
- And I'd put on a little weight since then.
830
01:04:07,210 --> 01:04:10,270
They say a New Englander
seldom forgets a face.
831
01:04:10,980 --> 01:04:13,813
Crazy odds, but what can we lose?
832
01:04:15,051 --> 01:04:16,416
Yeah, get this picture
833
01:04:16,485 --> 01:04:19,750
to every churchman, judge
and justice of the peace in Connecticut.
834
01:04:19,822 --> 01:04:24,259
- It's certainly worth trying.
- It's a big job. Compiling lists,
835
01:04:24,527 --> 01:04:26,620
- checking out leads.
- It can be done.
836
01:04:26,696 --> 01:04:28,687
The two of us could handle it, Julie.
837
01:04:29,732 --> 01:04:32,667
Well, I'd like to, Steve, but I've resigned.
838
01:04:32,735 --> 01:04:36,637
And I'd sooner drop dead
than ask Mark Chapman for my job back.
839
01:04:43,312 --> 01:04:45,803
- You dog!
- It never got past Baxter.
840
01:04:46,883 --> 01:04:48,908
A list of churches in each town
is no problem.
841
01:04:48,985 --> 01:04:52,318
The judges and JPs we can get
from the state legal directory in Hartford.
842
01:04:52,388 --> 01:04:54,720
Yeah, you start packing.
Enough for a couple of weeks.
843
01:04:54,790 --> 01:04:56,451
I'm going to the office
and get the lab boys started
844
01:04:56,525 --> 01:04:57,787
on knocking out a few hundred circulars.
845
01:04:57,860 --> 01:05:00,260
But suppose Chapman says no
to my working with you on it?
846
01:05:00,329 --> 01:05:03,492
Why should he? Anyway, I'm not going
to tell him anything until we're ready to go.
847
01:05:03,566 --> 01:05:04,658
Tonight sometime.
848
01:05:04,734 --> 01:05:08,898
Mom, you think it's safe for me to travel
out of state at night with this young man?
849
01:05:08,971 --> 01:05:12,702
Just so he doesn't misconstrue
the meaning of "freedom of the press."
850
01:05:12,775 --> 01:05:16,336
Hey, you wonderful woman.
I'll check with you for dinner.
851
01:05:21,417 --> 01:05:23,544
Steve, this is shot-in-the-dark stuff.
852
01:05:23,619 --> 01:05:26,452
Mark, more rabbit-brained ideas than this
have paid off.
853
01:05:26,522 --> 01:05:28,956
Your hottest lead is right here in town
where the murders were committed.
854
01:05:29,025 --> 01:05:32,290
Yeah, our hottest lead was in town,
but it dried up like a puddle in July.
855
01:05:32,361 --> 01:05:33,589
You're looking for a mental marvel,
856
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:36,154
a guy who can recognize somebody
he'd seen for 15 or 20 minutes
857
01:05:36,232 --> 01:05:38,757
at a wedding ceremony
he performed 21 years ago.
858
01:05:38,834 --> 01:05:41,394
How do we know he only saw them
for 15 or 20 minutes?
859
01:05:41,470 --> 01:05:44,200
Maybe they were members of his church
or were married by a judge
860
01:05:44,273 --> 01:05:46,298
or a justice in their own town.
861
01:05:46,375 --> 01:05:48,605
Steve, you're off
on a needle-in-a-haystack hunt.
862
01:05:48,678 --> 01:05:51,078
You can find a needle in a haystack
if you look long enough.
863
01:05:51,147 --> 01:05:53,775
You don't think I'm gonna let you
hang around up there indefinitely, do you?
864
01:05:53,849 --> 01:05:55,680
You won't have to. A week, probably.
865
01:05:55,751 --> 01:05:58,982
Julie Allison's coming along to help me.
It's all arranged.
866
01:05:59,055 --> 01:06:02,456
It's all arranged. And that five grand reward.
You arranged that, too?
867
01:06:02,525 --> 01:06:06,586
No, you did, or will.
Mark, what's eating you?
868
01:06:07,096 --> 01:06:09,257
I'm only checking out every possible angle.
869
01:06:09,332 --> 01:06:11,061
Kid, I don't want you to beat your brains out.
870
01:06:11,133 --> 01:06:13,033
We can get just so much
out of this Lonely Hearts story,
871
01:06:13,102 --> 01:06:16,128
and then we'll start easing it off
and let it die a natural death.
872
01:06:16,205 --> 01:06:19,368
Let it die? Mark, we let Charlie Barnes die!
873
01:06:20,509 --> 01:06:22,909
The least we can do now is to find his killer.
874
01:06:23,679 --> 01:06:26,443
You're the guy who pounded into me,
"Never give up till you've got the story."
875
01:06:26,515 --> 01:06:28,449
Well, I'm not quitting on this one
until I've licked it.
876
01:06:28,517 --> 01:06:30,985
You can reach me
at the Lenox Hotel in Hartford.
877
01:06:56,579 --> 01:06:57,978
Long distance.
878
01:06:58,047 --> 01:06:59,844
I want some information.
879
01:06:59,915 --> 01:07:01,906
A telephone number
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
880
01:07:01,984 --> 01:07:05,181
The name is Hacker. He's a judge.
I don't remember his first name.
881
01:07:05,254 --> 01:07:07,222
You wish to place a call to this party?
882
01:07:07,289 --> 01:07:10,383
No, no. Not yet, that is.
I just want to get his telephone number.
883
01:07:10,459 --> 01:07:12,188
<i>One moment, please.</i>
884
01:07:16,799 --> 01:07:20,235
Hello? The Middlebury operator
has no listing for anyone by that name.
885
01:07:21,037 --> 01:07:22,436
There isn't?
886
01:07:23,305 --> 01:07:25,296
Middlebury's a small town.
Will you ask the operator
887
01:07:25,374 --> 01:07:26,966
if she knows anything
about Judge Hacker at all?
888
01:07:27,043 --> 01:07:29,273
Is he deceased, moved away, or what?
889
01:07:29,345 --> 01:07:31,074
<i>One moment, please.</i>
890
01:07:35,518 --> 01:07:38,510
Hello? The local operator
has been in Middlebury for five years
891
01:07:38,587 --> 01:07:40,646
and knows no one
by the name of Judge Hacker.
892
01:07:40,723 --> 01:07:42,384
That's all the information she can give us.
893
01:07:43,959 --> 01:07:45,153
Thanks.
894
01:08:32,908 --> 01:08:35,308
No, Reverend,
I'm afraid that's not our couple.
895
01:08:36,412 --> 01:08:39,040
You may be positive, Reverend,
but you're mistaken.
896
01:08:39,115 --> 01:08:41,515
The woman in the photo we sent you
is dead.
897
01:08:41,584 --> 01:08:43,916
Thank you for calling, Reverend.
898
01:08:46,288 --> 01:08:48,153
You don't have to tell me.
899
01:08:48,224 --> 01:08:50,852
It's written all over
your bright and shining face.
900
01:08:50,926 --> 01:08:53,759
A 190-mile drive
to have a whack-head tell me
901
01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:56,423
that both the people in our circular
died a year ago.
902
01:08:57,766 --> 01:09:01,896
New Englanders remember, all right.
Every face is familiar to them.
903
01:09:04,406 --> 01:09:07,671
Hello? Just a minute, here's Steve.
904
01:09:08,110 --> 01:09:10,340
It's that man again. Every day.
905
01:09:10,412 --> 01:09:13,313
Does he think we'll keep it a big fat secret
if we find something?
906
01:09:15,284 --> 01:09:16,649
Yeah, Mark.
907
01:09:18,487 --> 01:09:20,819
Nothing but an aching back
and some interesting meetings
908
01:09:20,890 --> 01:09:22,824
with jelly-brained screwballs.
909
01:09:22,892 --> 01:09:26,555
You've had enough time, Steve. Ten days.
Admit it's a dud. Come on home.
910
01:09:26,629 --> 01:09:29,325
Two more days, Mark.
We'll stick it out to the end of the week.
911
01:09:29,899 --> 01:09:33,391
Get out of the haystack. It's easier
to find the needles at the scene of the crime.
912
01:09:33,469 --> 01:09:34,936
I'll see you.
913
01:09:35,771 --> 01:09:39,832
Two more days. I don't even know myself
why we're sticking around.
914
01:09:41,043 --> 01:09:42,772
Anything there that sounds good?
915
01:09:44,180 --> 01:09:47,946
I'll read you a fair sample.
From a J.P. Waterbury.
916
01:09:49,084 --> 01:09:52,451
"Send me $5,000
and I will tell you names of people."
917
01:09:52,655 --> 01:09:54,646
A new head I'll send him.
918
01:09:55,658 --> 01:09:58,320
I've got a headache.
I think I'll lie down for a while.
919
01:09:59,728 --> 01:10:01,855
Why don't you lie down here?
920
01:10:07,269 --> 01:10:08,998
I'll go to my room.
921
01:10:15,344 --> 01:10:17,744
McCleary. Okay, put him on.
922
01:10:18,681 --> 01:10:20,808
A guy calling from Franklin.
923
01:10:21,283 --> 01:10:23,308
Hello? Yeah, that's right.
924
01:10:25,955 --> 01:10:27,149
You do, huh?
925
01:10:29,258 --> 01:10:31,590
- You've got what?
- What is it?
926
01:10:31,827 --> 01:10:35,456
- Just a minute.
- I have the other picture right before me!
927
01:10:35,864 --> 01:10:41,131
Yes, I married them July 19th, 1931,
over in Middlebury.
928
01:10:42,438 --> 01:10:44,702
A funny thing. What's that?
929
01:10:48,143 --> 01:10:49,872
Judge Elroy Hacker.
930
01:10:50,379 --> 01:10:52,404
We'll be there in two hours, Judge.
931
01:10:52,481 --> 01:10:54,244
Sit tight
and keep your mouth shut about this.
932
01:10:54,316 --> 01:10:55,374
Bye.
933
01:10:55,584 --> 01:10:59,247
Go on, get packed.
He's liable to drop dead on us or something.
934
01:11:55,110 --> 01:11:58,102
For a man who can sit there
and watch his success increasing daily,
935
01:11:58,180 --> 01:12:00,011
you're looking much too troubled, Mark.
936
01:12:00,082 --> 01:12:03,210
It's just that these minor problems
always seem to require major thinking.
937
01:12:03,285 --> 01:12:06,379
Well, perhaps we can balance
the unpleasant with the pleasant.
938
01:12:06,455 --> 01:12:09,390
That conversation we had the other day
about your buying company stock.
939
01:12:09,458 --> 01:12:10,823
- Yeah?
- I just thought I'd tell you,
940
01:12:10,893 --> 01:12:14,920
- I think we can swing that.
- That's fine, Mr. Madison, just great.
941
01:12:14,997 --> 01:12:17,659
Well, there doesn't seem to be any doubt
you'll reach that bonus figure.
942
01:12:17,733 --> 01:12:19,064
It'll be pleasant having you as a partner,
943
01:12:19,134 --> 01:12:20,863
- so to speak, in the paper, Mark.
- Thanks.
944
01:12:20,936 --> 01:12:22,801
- Good night.
- Good night.
945
01:14:17,953 --> 01:14:19,147
Sorry to keep you this late, Mark,
946
01:14:19,221 --> 01:14:21,621
but we got hit with a mess of traffic
on the way in.
947
01:14:21,690 --> 01:14:23,157
Your wire sounded important.
948
01:14:23,225 --> 01:14:26,456
I found that needle,
or rather the man with the needle.
949
01:14:26,528 --> 01:14:29,725
Judge Elroy Hacker,
Mark Chapman, Managing Editor.
950
01:14:29,865 --> 01:14:32,925
- Glad to meet you, Judge.
- How do, Mr. Chapman?
951
01:14:33,902 --> 01:14:35,893
- Sit down, Judge.
- Thanks.
952
01:14:36,772 --> 01:14:38,672
Does the judge's needle sew anything up?
953
01:14:38,740 --> 01:14:41,231
Everything but knotting the thread
at the end.
954
01:14:41,310 --> 01:14:42,937
I mean the noose.
955
01:14:44,046 --> 01:14:45,240
What have you got?
956
01:14:45,314 --> 01:14:48,511
The identity of Mrs. Lonely Heart
and her husband.
957
01:14:49,117 --> 01:14:51,711
Judge Hacker married them
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
958
01:14:51,787 --> 01:14:54,688
Their names are Charlotte and George Grant.
959
01:14:58,827 --> 01:14:59,953
Did you get that, Mark?
960
01:15:00,028 --> 01:15:03,327
The name of the Lonely Heart Killer
is George Grant.
961
01:15:03,699 --> 01:15:05,530
Yeah, I heard you. Go on.
962
01:15:05,601 --> 01:15:08,229
Strike two. The judge is sure
he can identify George Grant
963
01:15:08,303 --> 01:15:10,203
when he sees him again.
964
01:15:10,806 --> 01:15:13,969
You see, I took this picture myself.
965
01:15:14,710 --> 01:15:17,338
A little extra service
the judge gave his bridal couples.
966
01:15:17,412 --> 01:15:20,711
Yes. I'd send them a print
and put one in my own scrapbook.
967
01:15:20,782 --> 01:15:22,579
The judge even furnished
the "just married" sign.
968
01:15:22,651 --> 01:15:24,118
Judge, you said
you married them in Middlebury,
969
01:15:24,186 --> 01:15:27,883
- but Steve found you in Franklin.
- I retired seven years ago.
970
01:15:27,956 --> 01:15:31,323
I'm partial to fishing,
so I moved over on the coast.
971
01:15:32,027 --> 01:15:34,928
I only happened
to see your circular by chance,
972
01:15:34,997 --> 01:15:37,830
in the office of a justice friend of mine.
973
01:15:40,602 --> 01:15:43,571
I always said you were born
in a field of shamrocks.
974
01:15:43,639 --> 01:15:47,769
Sure. The McClearys raised their kids
on nothing but rabbits' feet.
975
01:15:48,410 --> 01:15:52,471
Judge, what makes you so sure
you can identify George Grant today?
976
01:15:54,383 --> 01:15:57,250
Well, mainly because right after
I took that wedding picture,
977
01:15:57,319 --> 01:16:00,482
this Grant got vexed at his wife
about something.
978
01:16:01,590 --> 01:16:05,651
I can remember his voice, snapping at her.
His face getting red...
979
01:16:07,696 --> 01:16:11,598
I know what's in your bonnet, Mark.
We still have to find George Grant.
980
01:16:11,667 --> 01:16:14,363
A needle's nothing but a hunk of steel
if you've got nothing to sew.
981
01:16:14,436 --> 01:16:15,801
We just need the thread.
982
01:16:15,871 --> 01:16:18,203
I figure we'll pick that up
right here in New York.
983
01:16:18,273 --> 01:16:21,367
When the police line up all the local
George Grants for the judge to look over.
984
01:16:23,745 --> 01:16:27,416
That's Julie. I dropped her off
at headquarters to tell Davis what we've got.
985
01:16:29,251 --> 01:16:32,618
Friend Davis is steaming
like a pressure cooker, as I said he would.
986
01:16:32,688 --> 01:16:33,746
He'll simmer down.
987
01:16:33,822 --> 01:16:36,484
So will your
lining up the George Grants idea.
988
01:16:36,558 --> 01:16:40,255
Davis says he'll do nothing until you turn
Judge Hacker over to the police.
989
01:16:40,329 --> 01:16:42,763
- Steve, you can't hold...
- Relax, doll. He'll see the judge later.
990
01:16:42,831 --> 01:16:44,924
Not tonight he won't.
The judge is our exclusive beat.
991
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,230
Nobody gets to him
till our story breaks tomorrow.
992
01:16:47,302 --> 01:16:49,031
I don't trust cops.
993
01:16:51,607 --> 01:16:52,904
You and Julie start writing the story.
994
01:16:52,975 --> 01:16:56,308
I'll put the judge in a side-street hotel
where nobody will get to him.
995
01:16:56,378 --> 01:16:57,902
Come on, Judge.
996
01:17:01,316 --> 01:17:03,648
I'll just wait for Mr. McCleary.
997
01:17:04,987 --> 01:17:06,921
He was going to put me up at his place.
998
01:17:06,989 --> 01:17:08,581
That's the first place
the wolves will start baying.
999
01:17:08,657 --> 01:17:10,921
You better come with me, Judge.
1000
01:17:10,993 --> 01:17:15,157
No, I don't think it would be wise
for me to go with you, Mr. Grant.
1001
01:17:15,731 --> 01:17:18,325
- Mister...
- Chapman, Judge. Not Grant.
1002
01:17:18,734 --> 01:17:21,294
You'd better give your brain a rest.
You're gonna need it.
1003
01:17:21,370 --> 01:17:22,735
He may be Chapman now,
1004
01:17:22,804 --> 01:17:27,104
but 21 years ago, when I married them,
he was George Grant.
1005
01:17:27,509 --> 01:17:29,534
And he was a newspaperman.
1006
01:17:30,379 --> 01:17:34,145
I remember now. He said he worked
on the paper over in Waterford.
1007
01:17:34,216 --> 01:17:37,549
Waterford, Connecticut, was that town
I couldn't think of.
1008
01:17:37,619 --> 01:17:40,110
But I knew I'd remember that voice.
1009
01:17:40,422 --> 01:17:44,586
His face... You've changed.
But it's the same man.
1010
01:17:45,060 --> 01:17:48,086
You remember that $5,000 reward, though,
don't you, Judge?
1011
01:17:48,163 --> 01:17:51,428
Judge. This is impossible.
You're getting confused.
1012
01:17:51,633 --> 01:17:54,864
He sounds to me as though
he knows exactly what he's saying.
1013
01:17:54,936 --> 01:17:57,837
This is idiotic!
Screwball, crackbrained lunacy!
1014
01:17:57,906 --> 01:18:01,364
And that's just the kind of a witness
the judge is going to make, too, Steve.
1015
01:18:01,443 --> 01:18:03,240
The police have that specimen
of hair and flesh
1016
01:18:03,311 --> 01:18:05,905
found under Mrs. Grant's fingernails.
1017
01:18:06,348 --> 01:18:09,283
I think we'd better get in touch with Davis.
1018
01:18:09,551 --> 01:18:11,212
No phone, Allison.
1019
01:18:21,797 --> 01:18:26,359
Julie pegged you right off.
But me, still wet behind the ears McCleary.
1020
01:18:27,235 --> 01:18:29,328
I went for the sleigh ride.
1021
01:18:29,971 --> 01:18:35,409
I practically built the pedestal for Chapman.
The great newspaperman. The great guy.
1022
01:18:36,778 --> 01:18:41,545
There ought to be a special Pulitzer Prize
for the world's biggest sucker, McCleary.
1023
01:18:41,616 --> 01:18:44,141
Just another one of your stupid slobs!
1024
01:18:44,219 --> 01:18:45,948
Things happen, Steve,
and then there's just no end.
1025
01:18:46,021 --> 01:18:47,921
Killing my wife was an accident.
1026
01:18:47,989 --> 01:18:51,823
And Charlie. Charlie Barnes,
who never hurt a fly in his life.
1027
01:18:52,294 --> 01:18:54,057
A washed-up drunken rummy
who had nothing to live for
1028
01:18:54,129 --> 01:18:55,790
against a career
that was just reaching its prime.
1029
01:18:55,864 --> 01:18:59,322
- It wasn't an even exchange.
- You've got a great career ahead of you now.
1030
01:18:59,401 --> 01:19:02,302
That's all down the drain.
I gotta to make different plans now.
1031
01:19:02,370 --> 01:19:04,736
You should have started running
when you got my wire, sucker!
1032
01:19:04,806 --> 01:19:06,501
I gambled.
The stakes are big enough, you don't run
1033
01:19:06,575 --> 01:19:10,443
unless there's nothing else left to do.
Don't try it, kid.
1034
01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:30,190
Steve!
1035
01:19:50,986 --> 01:19:53,011
We're just too close, kid.
1036
01:19:57,292 --> 01:20:02,059
I figured I'd find you birds here.
Still playing me for a pushover, aren't you?
1037
01:20:04,032 --> 01:20:06,227
Steve, you remember how I told you
1038
01:20:06,301 --> 01:20:09,464
that someday you'd run into
a really great story?
1039
01:20:09,905 --> 01:20:11,736
Well, this one ought to do it, huh?
1040
01:20:12,474 --> 01:20:14,374
Yeah, this one will do.
1041
01:20:14,976 --> 01:20:16,603
I'll give you the lead on it.
1042
01:20:17,846 --> 01:20:18,972
"The elusive Lonely Heart Killer,
1043
01:20:19,047 --> 01:20:20,708

1045

"Managing Editor of the <i>New York Express."</i>
1049
01:20:37,766 --> 01:20:42,601
- Write it up big, kid. It'll sell a lot of papers.
- All right, drop it, Chapman.

Mark Chapman, editor of the New York Express, has made the newspaper a success by pursuing sensationalism and yellow journalism. His protégé is ace reporter Steve McCleary, while successful feature writer Julie Allison is frustrated by the paper's drift towards raking the muck. One night, during a lonely hearts dance organized by the Express, Chapman's estranged wife confronts him and demands that he visit her hotel room. It is revealed that Chapman's real name is George Grant, and he abandoned his wife decades earlier, changing his identity. When Chapman rebuffs her efforts toward reconciliation, she threatens to publicize his real identity. Chapman tries to restrain her, accidentally killing her in the scuffle.
Chapman attempts to cover up his crime, posing the scene to look like an accident. The police initially believe she slipped in the bathtub, but McCleary begins covering the case, and his reporting reveals it was a murder. McCleary is eager to run the story, and Chapman must acquiesce to avoid suspicion. The "mystery" murderer is dubbed the "Lonely Hearts Killer." Charlie Barnes, an alcoholic former star reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner, stumbles upon the dead woman's suitcase, in which he finds wedding photographs showing Chapman (then Grant) and his wife. He realizes that Chapman must be the killer. Barnes contacts Allison, who has been kind to him, attempting to give her the scoop, but Chapman overhears the conversation. He intercepts and kills Barnes before he can reveal the truth to a rival publication. This act only increases public interest in the story of the Lonely Hearts Killer, much to Chapman's frustration.
Assisted by Allison, McCleary continues to track down clues and leads. Eventually he locates another photo from Chapman/Grant's wedding, although the groom is shot in profile and it is not obvious that it is Chapman. McCleary and Allison travel to Connecticut to find the judge who married the murdered woman and the man in the photograph. After a week of searching, they identify the judge who conducted the marriage. They bring him back to the newspaper building, where he identifies Chapman as the groom and thus the Lonely Hearts Killer. McCleary is incredulous, but Allison puts the pieces together and the desperate Chapman pulls a gun on them. The police arrive, and Chapman cannot bring himself to shoot McCleary. Instead, he gives McCleary his blessing to publish all details of his crimes and then commits suicide by cop.

1
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,468
I know how you feel, lady.
2
00:01:52,545 --> 00:01:54,445
Just take your time
and tell me what happened.
3
00:01:54,514 --> 00:01:57,915
He had this meat ax, her blood all over it.
4
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:03,187
My brother-in-law had it.
Blood all over his hands, all over his shirt.
5
00:02:03,389 --> 00:02:05,687
I can't talk about it, Officer.
6
00:02:05,859 --> 00:02:08,851
I know it's rough, lady,
but I have to have the facts.
7
00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:14,298
He comes staggering out in the hall.
He says, "I did it. Call the cops."
8
00:02:15,101 --> 00:02:16,125
And then he...
9
00:02:16,202 --> 00:02:19,467
Snap it up, Captain.
Lieutenant Davis just blew in.
10
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,303
What's he going to do, Officer?
11
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:25,003
- I'm not a cop, lady.
- But you said...
12
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:27,610
All I said was,
"I had to ask you some questions."
13
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,079
I'm from the <i>Express.</i>
14
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:33,984
You made me go through all that.
Why, you're not decent! You're not human!
15
00:02:34,754 --> 00:02:38,121
- Sorry, lady. All part of the job.
- Well, well, Lieutenant Davis.
16
00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:42,252
- Say, this must have been a homicide.
- Hi, Lieutenant. Wait till you hear it.
17
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:45,092
- A messy one.
- You keep pulling stuff like this, McCleary,
18
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:50,193
and so help me, if it's the last thing I do,
I'll run you in! Now, that's a warning!
19
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:18,591
This is KL-75263. Get me Plaza-52099.
20
00:03:19,532 --> 00:03:24,401
You know, that wasn't a bad-Iooking dame.
Too bad the guy used an ax on her head.
21
00:03:25,271 --> 00:03:27,796
Spoiled some pretty pictures for me.
22
00:03:28,908 --> 00:03:31,877
Hey, Mark, have you put on the gloves
with those stockholders yet?
23
00:03:32,178 --> 00:03:34,203
Hi. No, I'm just taping up my hands.
24
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,976
<i>Well, you can tell them we got</i>
<i>another neat and gory one coming up.</i>
25
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:39,177
<i>Hatchet murder. Lower East Side tenement.</i>
26
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:41,652
<i>Wrapped up an exclusive interview</i>
<i>with an eyewitness.</i>
27
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:43,211
You got plenty of art?
28
00:03:43,289 --> 00:03:45,052
Yeah. Biddle grabbed all he could
of the body.
29
00:03:45,124 --> 00:03:49,185
A dame, very messy.
Got a great hysterical close-up of her sister.
30
00:03:49,529 --> 00:03:52,828
I'll even write the caption for you.
"I seen him with a bloody meat ax."
31
00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:54,592
Good. With that, I can sell papers.
32
00:03:54,667 --> 00:03:57,295
Give it to rewrite and we'll get it in the final.
Hold on. What do you want?
33
00:03:57,370 --> 00:04:00,237
Mr. Madison called down
from the boardroom again, Mr. Chapman.
34
00:04:00,306 --> 00:04:02,831
You hear that?
I'm letting them stew in their financial juices.
35
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:05,067
Well, don't overdo it. I like this job.
36
00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:08,273
You've never gone backwards
with me before, have you, kid?
37
00:04:08,348 --> 00:04:13,217
If we leave here, we'll bounce into
a bigger setup. I'll see you when you get in.
38
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:21,417
As one of the largest stockholders
in this corporation,
39
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:24,463
I would like to know
why the <i>New York Express,</i>
40
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:27,465
once a distinguished
and respected newspaper,
41
00:04:29,869 --> 00:04:33,600
has been allowed to become
a cheap and depraved publication.
42
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:38,835
Why has an editor been allowed
to turn a decent journal into this?
43
00:04:39,679 --> 00:04:41,613
A disgusting tabloid!
44
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,749
Pandering to the passions
of the base morons!
45
00:04:45,151 --> 00:04:47,847
I demand an explanation, Frank Madison.
46
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:54,750
Well, Mrs. Rawley, I...
In defense of Mark Chapman, I...
47
00:04:54,827 --> 00:04:58,263
Mr. Madison, I'd like to handle
my own defense, if you don't mind.
48
00:04:58,331 --> 00:04:59,855
Just as you say, Mark.
49
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:05,428
Mrs. Rawley, I think you
and the other stockholders should know
50
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:07,496
that your publisher hired me
as executive editor
51
00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:09,837
with full rights to transform this newspaper.
52
00:05:10,677 --> 00:05:14,443
He did this for a very simple reason.
He was fed up with operating at a loss.
53
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:18,611
Why did Mr. Madison hire me?
Well, he felt it was time that the <i>Express</i>
54
00:05:18,685 --> 00:05:21,745
buried its antiquated negative approach,
such as this.
55
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:25,756
But who won?
56
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:29,920
And become a positive newspaper.
We're in a business, ladies and gentlemen,
57
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:34,695
a business of satisfying the hunger
of the public for thrills, escape and news.
58
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:39,271
Here's where I took over
your highly respectable white elephant.
59
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:42,172
Instead of headlining a UN story,
we gave them a vice story.
60
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:44,368
Obviously, they went for it.
61
00:05:44,544 --> 00:05:46,239
We played down
the presidential appointments
62
00:05:46,312 --> 00:05:48,644
and concentrated
on the "Gorilla Man" killings.
63
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:51,576
Here's what happened.
Thirty or forty thousand new readers.
64
00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:54,245
Why, in a year, circulation's up over 110%.
65
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,686
And when we reach 750,000,
66
00:05:56,756 --> 00:06:00,886
we'll have to pay you a big bonus.
I'm not sure I like this at all.
67
00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:02,761
Did you like the dividend check
you got last month
68
00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:04,194
for the first time in 12 years?
69
00:06:04,263 --> 00:06:07,323
I don't like this, sir.
What kind of journalism is this?
70
00:06:07,967 --> 00:06:10,026
A newspaper
staging a cheap, vulgar display
71
00:06:10,103 --> 00:06:13,266
in order to attract
the stupid slobs of the city!
72
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,865
The thousands who will attend
the Lonely Heart dance tonight,
73
00:06:15,942 --> 00:06:18,467
these poor, friendly, unhappy people
whom you call stupid slobs,
74
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:20,569
buy and read this newspaper.
75
00:06:20,646 --> 00:06:22,944
Their loyalty helped put that dividend check
in your pocket.
76
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:26,712
And I suppose you think it's a public service
when one of your reporters is arrested
77
00:06:26,786 --> 00:06:30,745
for withholding information from the police?
Or whatever it was.
78
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:34,150
This, what's his name, McCleary person,
79
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,352
and the things he writes about!
I think he should be fired!
80
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:39,295
This McCleary person
is the best young reporter I've seen
81
00:06:39,365 --> 00:06:41,060
in 25 years of newspapering.
82
00:06:41,134 --> 00:06:43,193
Before I'll fire him,
I'll throw the <i>Express</i> up for grabs
83
00:06:43,269 --> 00:06:45,669
and go to work for somebody
who appreciates real talent on a paper!
84
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:47,262
- Mark, I'm sure...
- One last thing.
85
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:50,798
The only contract I have here is a handshake
between Mr. Madison and myself.
86
00:06:50,877 --> 00:06:53,141
Now, unless you give me full rights
to run this paper the way I want,
87
00:06:53,212 --> 00:06:55,271
I'll quit after the final edition today.
88
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:58,784
Now, I'm sorry I can't stay with you
any longer. I have a newspaper to get out!
89
00:07:06,092 --> 00:07:10,426
- Your story ready, Miss Allison?
- I'll have the rest in a minute, Joey.
90
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:13,831
Mr. Chapman?
91
00:07:16,502 --> 00:07:17,696
Thanks.
92
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:26,937
McCleary story in yet, Bax?
93
00:07:32,485 --> 00:07:34,885
How'd you make out in the torture chamber?
94
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:40,450
This is good. Give it a big play.
Mac'll do a byline follow-up tomorrow.
95
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:43,825
- What are these?
- Pics for that Lonely Heart spread.
96
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:45,820
- Junk them.
- But I...
97
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:47,092
Take Peters off the Lonely Hearts.
98
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:48,997
He's photographing these slobs
like a lineup in a soup kitchen
99
00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:50,660
instead of panting for a red-hot romance.
100
00:07:50,736 --> 00:07:52,533
- Okay. But I...
- Yeah?
101
00:07:52,939 --> 00:07:54,566
Yes, Mr. Madison.
102
00:07:58,211 --> 00:08:00,611
- Get an ax, smear it with blood.
- Yeah? Whose?
103
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,171
Yours. If you can't spare any,
use chocolate syrup or something.
104
00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:07,652
Chocolate? Goody! When I'm through,
I can make a plate of fudge. Drop in.
105
00:08:08,721 --> 00:08:12,157
So, you still insist a woman having 20 kids
is worth a feature article?
106
00:08:12,225 --> 00:08:15,422
Hi, genius.
I think it's worth a whole front page.
107
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:18,391
It scares me, this maternal instinct of yours.
108
00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:20,955
Decided where you're taking me
to dinner tonight?
109
00:08:23,736 --> 00:08:25,966
If Chapman hasn't been canned,
110
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,169
you're going to dine with the worst loser
who ever paid off a bet.
111
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:31,608
Then you'd better stash some
bicarbonate soda in your bag, princess.
112
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:32,837
You're gonna need it.
113
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:35,437
Don't count your steaks
before you hear the sizzle.
114
00:08:37,617 --> 00:08:39,608
Well, what's the word? Are you ex or still?
115
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,880
They're not dumb enough
to throw out a winner.
116
00:08:41,954 --> 00:08:44,650
Congratulations. I knew you'd stick
their stocks right back in their teeth.
117
00:08:44,724 --> 00:08:46,555
I told them if they fired me,
McCleary would quit, too,
118
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:49,060
and then they'd be in real trouble.
119
00:08:49,128 --> 00:08:50,527
I wouldn't put it past them
to try and dump you
120
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:53,929
to get out of paying the bonus that's
staring them right in their glassy eyes.
121
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,331
I've got news for you.
122
00:08:55,401 --> 00:08:57,528
I'm going to cut you in
for a piece of that bonus.
123
00:08:57,603 --> 00:08:59,298
What do you want me to do, retire?
124
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:00,566
I thought we could make a deal with Madison
125
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,698
to buy some of the company's stock.
126
00:09:01,774 --> 00:09:03,901
You know, kid,
we could end up owning this newspaper.
127
00:09:03,976 --> 00:09:06,536
- Well, that's the best offer I've had all week.
- I'll make you another one.
128
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:09,080
I'll take you to dinner tonight.
You pick the spot.
129
00:09:10,349 --> 00:09:14,012
I'll make you a better offer.
My date's buying. She lost a bet.
130
00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:17,544
The Grand Duchess from Vassar again?
The way I feel, I can put up with anything.
131
00:09:17,623 --> 00:09:19,818
- I'm more worried, can she put up with you?
- Get her ready.
132
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:24,124
We've got to be at the ballroom at 8:00.
There's no time for nose powder.
133
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:32,597
Don't break your ears with that grin.
I can see. He's still in.
134
00:09:33,005 --> 00:09:36,532
- No loud whoops of joy, baby?
- Well, I tried everything.
135
00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:39,770
I crossed my fingers,
said prayers, burned candles.
136
00:09:39,845 --> 00:09:43,713
- Who's your tailor, princess?
- Let's get out of here.
137
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,075
I've had to look at that Chapman face all day.
138
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:50,714
I've got to cover his fiasco tonight
and suffer some more.
139
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:53,987
At least just looking at you for an hour
will be a welcome change.
140
00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:57,496
- Lf you're taking me to dinner, let's go.
- Taking him?
141
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,195
Wait a minute.
Our bet was between you and me.
142
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:03,463
Our bet was loser buys dinner.
We didn't say for how many.
143
00:10:03,536 --> 00:10:06,994
- Why, you double-crossing...
- I knew you'd be a good loser.
144
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:10,807
Someday remind me to tell you about girls.
145
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:20,248
You talk a couple of these suckers
into getting married.
146
00:10:20,319 --> 00:10:21,581
These Lonely Heart slobs got the gimmies,
147
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:23,519
and we've got plenty to give them
from the advertisers.
148
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:25,284
If you talk one couple
into getting married by 9:00,
149
00:10:25,358 --> 00:10:27,883
by 12:00 we'll have a dozen lined up
for wedded bliss.
150
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,155
- McCleary, the Brooklyn cupid.
- McCleary, the human yes man.
151
00:10:30,229 --> 00:10:31,594
Hey, Julie!
152
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:34,155
- Hello, Charlie.
- Charlie.
153
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:38,225
- How are you, Barnes?
- Fine, Mark. You're looking fit. McCleary.
154
00:10:38,571 --> 00:10:39,595
Thank you.
155
00:10:39,672 --> 00:10:41,799
What goes on? Are you ghosting
Allison's features, Charlie?
156
00:10:41,874 --> 00:10:43,774
No, he's helping me with research
for that series
157
00:10:43,843 --> 00:10:45,640
on historical monuments in New York.
158
00:10:45,711 --> 00:10:47,872
You couldn't pick a better man.
I ought to know.
159
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:50,006
Remember those old days, Mark?
160
00:10:50,082 --> 00:10:53,813
Like the time I cut the phone cables
at the Lindbergh trial?
161
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:55,520
You scooped me. Almost cost me my job.
162
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:59,957
Scooped you, the wire services,
scooped everybody. That was the year...
163
00:11:00,026 --> 00:11:02,358
That was the year you won the Pulitzer Prize.
164
00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:06,826
Listen, Mark.
This stuff I've been doing for Julie, it's...
165
00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:13,200
- Mark, I think I'm ready to go back to work.
- That's fine. I'm glad to hear it, Charlie.
166
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,164
How about it, Mark? How about a job?
167
00:11:19,645 --> 00:11:21,510
- Why not?
- Thanks.
168
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:25,447
- Charlie, I'm so proud of you!
- This is gonna take a little juggling.
169
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:26,849
I won't be able to do anything right away.
170
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:28,978
Look, Charlie, I'll call you.
We're late, we gotta rush.
171
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:31,785
Sure, Mark, I know how it is,
always on the go.
172
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:35,258
- Coffee in the morning? Skinners?
- Sure thing, Julie.
173
00:11:40,199 --> 00:11:41,257
All the time I thought you were a...
174
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:43,699
- How much did you give him?
- $10. He earned it.
175
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:44,929
Ten bucks?
176
00:11:45,004 --> 00:11:47,336
- Buy a lot of whiskey.
- Did you see that rum-dumb?
177
00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:49,806
- Come midnight, he'll be in the gutter.
- Now, wait a minute.
178
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:51,274
He's an alky, Julie.
You shouldn't give an alky
179
00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:52,367
more than a buck at a time.
180
00:11:52,445 --> 00:11:55,414
You're liable to kill him.
Ten bucks, he can take a bath in it.
181
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:58,314
But... Well, this job
will change everything for him.
182
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:01,319
Job? I wouldn't have him in my office,
let alone on my staff.
183
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:04,117
In you go, sucker. Where are you going?
184
00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:07,085
I'm not going to let him go off believing this.
185
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:10,617
- Do you want to break his heart?
- Do I? What do you think you're doing?
186
00:12:10,696 --> 00:12:13,358
I'm giving him hopes and dreams.
A rummy like that lives on dreams.
187
00:12:13,432 --> 00:12:17,061
- He's happy. Why spoil it?
- Happy? Happy like your Lonely Hearts,
188
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,798
looking forward to those big romances
they've been promised?
189
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:23,069
- Only Charlie's romance is with a bottle.
- Get in.
190
00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:48,057
Biddle, don't leave that camera at half mast.
Stop goldbricking on the other guys.
191
00:12:48,134 --> 00:12:52,127
I must have got 100 shots already,
Mr. Chapman. My arm's giving out.
192
00:12:52,204 --> 00:12:56,334
You've only started. I want shots of people
from every state. Now start shooting.
193
00:12:58,911 --> 00:13:01,038
How are you doing, princess?
194
00:13:01,147 --> 00:13:04,116
Well, it's an effort,
but I'm trying to keep from screaming.
195
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:06,981
You were a real bundle of laughs
during dinner, too.
196
00:13:07,052 --> 00:13:08,781
Why don't you simmer down now?
197
00:13:08,854 --> 00:13:10,515
You're not so pretty
when your feathers are all ruffled.
198
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:13,183
Don't, Steve. I'm in no mood for levity.
199
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:17,491
- Do you feel like dancing?
- Do you figure that'll smooth my feathers?
200
00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:21,691
I've got a great idea for you. Grab yourself
one of these Lonely Heart boys.
201
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:25,066
Tell him you're a club date. Con him.
Get his life history.
202
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:28,903
- And there's your feature for tomorrow.
- Mark Chapman, Junior.
203
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:31,568
It'll sell papers, you left that out.
204
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:34,871
Happy hunting, cupid.
Mustn't let the boss down.
205
00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:38,312
Save at least one dance for me, princess.
206
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:58,034
Every time I aim my lens
at one of these walking zombies,
207
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:01,334
I think of the time
I covered the Miss America contest.
208
00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:03,705
The tears almost start to flow.
209
00:14:06,378 --> 00:14:09,370
From McCleary, you get nothing but service.
Ten minutes before 9:00,
210
00:14:09,448 --> 00:14:13,179
and couple number one. Mary and Joe
met in front of the Arkansas booth.
211
00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:16,221
It was love at first sight, almost. Right?
212
00:14:16,288 --> 00:14:20,349
Well, sure. I'm from Texas,
but I sure love that Arkansas cooking.
213
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,890
- You love her, don't you?
- Well, sure, I reckon so.
214
00:14:23,963 --> 00:14:26,158
- Mary, you love him?
- Yes.
215
00:14:26,966 --> 00:14:31,130
- See, they're crazy about each other.
- Yeah, that's fine. Hey, Edwards.
216
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:33,535
We've got a romance going here.
They're ready for the orange blossoms.
217
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,837
- Well, how do you do? And congratulations.
- Save the teeth for the bandstand.
218
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:38,171
Get up there
and make the big announcement.
219
00:14:38,244 --> 00:14:42,044
Yes, sir, Mr. Chapman.
Come with me, you lucky, lucky people.
220
00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:46,842
Hey, you ain't gonna forget about the bed
with the built-in television set?
221
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:48,614
You'll spend your honeymoon in front of it.
222
00:14:51,624 --> 00:14:55,321
- Nice going, Steve, keep punching.
- I'll get the camera boys up to cover it.
223
00:14:57,129 --> 00:15:01,862
- Did you find a feature to write about yet?
- I haven't, and I don't intend to.
224
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:05,435
This bribing of poor, ignorant dopes
into a public wedding
225
00:15:05,504 --> 00:15:07,665
is cheap, cruel and disgusting.
226
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:10,573
This whole Wild West show is ridiculous,
and I want no part of it.
227
00:15:10,643 --> 00:15:13,305
Miss Allison,
your contract has six months to run.
228
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:17,281
My contract was made with Mr. Madison
before you took over the <i>Express.</i>
229
00:15:17,349 --> 00:15:18,543
If you don't like the way I run the paper,
230
00:15:18,617 --> 00:15:21,245
I have an agreement
that might be satisfactory to both of us.
231
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,811
Take six months' vacation with pay!
232
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:30,286
No, thank you, Mr. Chapman. I'll work it out.
I like my feature writing.
233
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,898
Thinking people like it, too,
234
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:37,561
even though there aren't many of them
buying the <i>Express</i> anymore. Good night!
235
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:43,605
That's it.
236
00:15:50,382 --> 00:15:53,613
<i>Friends, brothers and sisters</i>
<i>in the Lonely Hearts Club.</i>
237
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:55,677
<i>I have wonderful news for you,</i>
238
00:15:55,754 --> 00:15:59,747
<i>living proof that this magnificent club</i>
<i>is more than just a name.</i>
239
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:04,386
<i>But first, how would you like to meet</i>
<i>the great man who created your club?</i>
240
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:11,998
<i>Mr. Mark Chapman,</i>
<i>editor of the</i> New York Express.
241
00:16:12,071 --> 00:16:14,665
<i>Put the spotlight on him, over there!</i>
242
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,782
<i>Now here's the wonderful news.</i>
243
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:37,056
<i>Meet Mary and Joe, two happy people</i>
<i>who came here tonight as total strangers.</i>
244
00:16:37,463 --> 00:16:42,400
<i>They met, they danced, they found love.</i>
<i>They're going to get married!</i>
245
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,474
George?
246
00:16:57,516 --> 00:17:00,041
<i>- As the first couple who fell in love tonight...</i>
- George Grant!
247
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:01,814
<i>...Mary and Joe will receive...</i>
- It is you!
248
00:17:01,887 --> 00:17:03,752
<i>...compliments of the</i> Express...
- Charlotte.
249
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:05,119
<i>... a wedding night in a New York hotel...</i>
250
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:08,921
Finding you here...
I was so sure that you must be dead.
251
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:11,759
George Grant is dead.
252
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:14,259
Yes, I just heard.
253
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,134
- You're the...
- We can't talk here.
254
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:19,901
We can talk at my place, George.
255
00:17:20,806 --> 00:17:23,036
We've got a lot to talk about.
256
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:26,509
Go on out. I'll meet you at the side entrance.
257
00:17:32,785 --> 00:17:35,151
The years have been kinder to you.
258
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:38,621
What is it, 19, 20?
I used to keep track, but I don't...
259
00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:41,716
What's the difference?
Now that you found me, what do you want?
260
00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:57,401
May I?
261
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:07,375
- Come on, quit stalling around.
- What was it they called you at the ball?
262
00:18:07,453 --> 00:18:08,977
- Mark?
- Chapman.
263
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:15,755
When did you change your name, George?
Right after you left me?
264
00:18:17,062 --> 00:18:18,962
So I wouldn't find you?
265
00:18:19,631 --> 00:18:21,292
You knew I was so crazy about you
266
00:18:21,366 --> 00:18:24,028
I'd look and look and look,
didn't you, George?
267
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,697
Come on, get to it. What do you want?
268
00:18:27,739 --> 00:18:32,574
You're still in a hurry, aren't you?
That's the thing I remember best about you.
269
00:18:32,878 --> 00:18:37,645
The fellow who always ran and never walked.
Had to get places fast!
270
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,749
And you got places, didn't you, George?
271
00:18:44,323 --> 00:18:46,883
Here, you need some money?
Here's some for now.
272
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,860
Money? The payoff, George?
273
00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:54,497
How much? How much for each year?
274
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:58,633
How much for the agony
and the heartbreak and the fear?
275
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:03,141
- Charlotte, cut the ham act.
- This could be for the doctor bill, see?
276
00:19:06,578 --> 00:19:10,173
I was 20 years younger then,
took things more seriously.
277
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:14,142
I can't imagine how much.
278
00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:18,087
You're boring me now, like you always did.
279
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:20,388
People always bored you
280
00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:23,155
when you didn't have
any more use for them, didn't they, George?
281
00:19:23,228 --> 00:19:25,025
Bores and nuisances, I get rid of them.
282
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:27,497
Yeah, the same gentle way
you got rid of me.
283
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:28,692
My lawyer will get in touch with you.
284
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:31,702
He'll arrange a quiet divorce
and generous alimony.
285
00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:34,671
You're an important man now,
aren't you, George?
286
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:37,038
Editor of the <i>New York Express.</i>
287
00:19:38,977 --> 00:19:43,346
I never thought I'd be the wife of the editor
of a big New York newspaper.
288
00:19:43,415 --> 00:19:47,112
You're not, and don't get any ideas
about forcing yourself.
289
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:51,020
You've got nothing to gain by refusing me
a divorce now like you did 20 years ago.
290
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:56,759
I was young then and so foolishly in love.
I wanted so much to hold onto you.
291
00:19:57,496 --> 00:20:00,021
I made all of my mistakes when I was young,
and you were the biggest one.
292
00:20:00,098 --> 00:20:02,794
I fell for an attractive hunk of flesh.
293
00:20:04,169 --> 00:20:07,627
"Hold me." You didn't try to hang on.
You strangled me.
294
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,936
I'd smother to death with you.
295
00:20:15,747 --> 00:20:19,808
Turnabout's fair play.
When you walked out on me, I died inside.
296
00:20:20,352 --> 00:20:23,116
When I walk out of here, you're gonna die.
297
00:20:23,188 --> 00:20:27,852
Everything you worked for, grabbed for,
ruined people to get, it's all gonna die!
298
00:20:27,926 --> 00:20:29,393
You're a neurotic screwball!
299
00:20:29,461 --> 00:20:33,955
I'm gonna spread your story all over town.
Mark Chapman, the great editor!
300
00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:37,829
Wife deserter!
Living under a false name for 20 years.
301
00:20:39,137 --> 00:20:42,334
What else did you cover up
living under a phony name?
302
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:44,637
Your publishers are gonna love this.
303
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:49,044
And the other papers, they'll cut you
to ribbons with this information!
304
00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,470
Hi, honey, let me have the city room.
305
00:23:33,812 --> 00:23:37,179
This is Elkins.
If you need me, I'm over in Skinners.
306
00:23:38,316 --> 00:23:41,808
What? Having breakfast. Yeah, breakfast.
307
00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:53,323
Yes, Julie, after that fortunate
and historical meeting with Mark yesterday,
308
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:57,629
I had considerable difficulty
wooing the fickle Morpheus.
309
00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:01,939
That explains it.
Those bleeding eyes today.
310
00:24:02,474 --> 00:24:05,341
Well, I did have a couple
with the boys down below.
311
00:24:05,410 --> 00:24:08,277
A sort of celebration, and then farewell.
312
00:24:11,049 --> 00:24:13,574
You should have left them long ago, Charlie.
313
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:15,916
Any man who was big enough
in his day to rate that,
314
00:24:16,555 --> 00:24:20,389
a place in Skinner's Hall of Fame,
is still too big for Dead-End Street.
315
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:25,028
No regrets, Julie. My temporary alliance
with the denizens of the Bowery
316
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:29,863
has provided me with a deeper insight
into the whys and wherefores of mankind.
317
00:24:35,674 --> 00:24:38,006
A proven medical fact,
when the human system
318
00:24:38,076 --> 00:24:40,840
has been lengthily nurtured
on alcoholic stimulants,
319
00:24:40,912 --> 00:24:44,871
any abrupt cessation of same
will result in a negative reaction.
320
00:24:45,016 --> 00:24:46,381
Absolutely.
321
00:24:47,652 --> 00:24:52,385
But I'm tapering off. I'll be a firmly-rooted
passenger on the old water wagon
322
00:24:52,524 --> 00:24:54,856
by the time Mark's ready for me.
323
00:24:57,295 --> 00:25:01,561
Charlie, don't bet everything
on Mark Chapman.
324
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:06,666
He won't let me down.
First time I felt ready, I asked him for a job,
325
00:25:06,938 --> 00:25:10,032
and what happened?
He offered me one, didn't he?
326
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:15,173
- Mr. Lonely Heart.
- Compliments of the <i>Express,</i> Myrtle.
327
00:25:15,747 --> 00:25:18,545
- I see you read. You stick with the radio.
- Yeah.
328
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:20,744
Hey, McCleary,
I read that rag of yours by accident.
329
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:23,287
Yeah, me, too.
From ax murder to Ionely hearts.
330
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:25,653
What are you trying to prove,
you're versatile or something?
331
00:25:25,724 --> 00:25:27,885
What are you gentlemen
reading our rag for?
332
00:25:27,959 --> 00:25:30,427
Trying to find out
what's happening that's news?
333
00:25:30,495 --> 00:25:32,929
Good morning, kiddies. What's the word?
334
00:25:35,066 --> 00:25:36,624
Silly, that's the word.
335
00:25:36,701 --> 00:25:38,635
Still a heaping bunch of joy,
aren't you, princess?
336
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:43,663
Lonely Hearts Ball. Journalism has certainly
changed since the old days.
337
00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:47,302
What happened to you last night?
Pulled a fast fade on me.
338
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:50,712
- Don't tell me you actually missed me?
- I needed protection.
339
00:25:50,782 --> 00:25:53,250
Some of our love-hungry subscribers
got mixed up.
340
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:56,014
They were offering me deep-freezes
and vacuum cleaners.
341
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:59,318
- I'm surprised you refused.
- How do you know I did?
342
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:02,849
Certainly heavy coverage
on the unrequited passion set.
343
00:26:03,261 --> 00:26:06,924
Our love and romance edition, Charlie.
Even the crossword puzzle.
344
00:26:06,998 --> 00:26:08,966
But nothing from the Allison corner.
345
00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:12,335
Not interested in romance, Julie?
346
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:16,465
Not the kind that blossoms
on free gas stoves and television sets.
347
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:21,235
- About that Lonely Heart gag, I've got a...
- Steve, on the radio.
348
00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:27,652
- Julie. Hi, Charlie.
- Hi, Biddle.
349
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:31,086
Police call. Dead dame in a flat
on Third Avenue. Are you interested?
350
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:33,090
Well, she'd probably be a cheerful change.
351
00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:36,685
I'm still getting the icebox treatment
from the female on my left.
352
00:26:36,761 --> 00:26:40,162
After them scarecrows I shot last night,
I figure my luck's gotta change.
353
00:26:40,231 --> 00:26:43,428
Even dead, this dame's bound
to have more glamour.
354
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:45,467
Let's give her a look.
355
00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:48,801
Thanks for the coffee, kitten.
356
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:03,785
Another scarecrow. I'm batting goose eggs.
357
00:27:05,323 --> 00:27:07,848
Dames have got to make trouble
even when they die, don't they, pal?
358
00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:11,384
Yeah, water downstairs and water upstairs.
359
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:14,531
Probably wanted a room
with a swimming pool.
360
00:27:14,966 --> 00:27:16,866
Hey, Davis, what are you doing here?
361
00:27:16,935 --> 00:27:21,031
I just wanted to see if I couldn't get
to one of our calls before you did.
362
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:22,471
This isn't a homicide?
363
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:24,531
We got a new man
on the beat here, McCleary.
364
00:27:24,609 --> 00:27:26,167
He's built like you between the ears.
365
00:27:26,244 --> 00:27:29,975
He saw a hole in the back of the dame's head
and figured she was slugged.
366
00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:31,515
What's your guess, Lieutenant?
367
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:33,949
She put the hole
in the back of her head herself?
368
00:27:34,019 --> 00:27:36,783
Yeah, wise-eyes, that's it. That's it exactly.
369
00:27:36,855 --> 00:27:40,291
She slipped in the tub
and opened her skull on a faucet.
370
00:27:40,358 --> 00:27:43,953
- What was the lady's name, Sherlock?
- The landlady says Jane Jones.
371
00:27:44,029 --> 00:27:45,360
- Do you believe it?
- Yeah, I believe it.
372
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:47,762
I'm fresh out of nursery school.
373
00:27:48,466 --> 00:27:52,402
Jane Jones, alias Jane Doe.
Say, Dave, you're really humming.
374
00:27:53,204 --> 00:27:56,401
Look, nuisance, if you so much as make
these bedsprings squeak once again,
375
00:27:56,474 --> 00:28:00,308
- I'll throw you in the tub with the dame.
- Lieutenant, please.
376
00:28:04,616 --> 00:28:08,177
You're wrong, Dave.
She was murdered. Clear as your head.
377
00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:10,347
Murdered for her money.
378
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:13,949
Why, this lady must have spent easily
six or seven dollars a year on clothes.
379
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:15,492
Why don't you go home, McCleary?
380
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,462
There's nothing around here
to interest a big newsman like you.
381
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:27,827
Look, junior, keep your nose
in your own business, or I'll run you in
382
00:28:27,906 --> 00:28:31,137
- for obstruction, suspicion and vagrancy.
- Why, sure, Dave.
383
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:33,837
I just thought there might be something
in here to help identify her.
384
00:28:33,912 --> 00:28:35,243
No suitcase, huh?
385
00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:41,715
- In there, boys.
- Okay, Steve, I got all I need.
386
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:46,957
Thanks, Dave.
387
00:28:49,127 --> 00:28:52,062
- No, not you two again.
- What do you guys do,
388
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:54,758
smell these things
before the police call is even in?
389
00:28:54,833 --> 00:28:57,301
Try to forget your mugs.
There's a lady in the bathroom.
390
00:28:57,368 --> 00:29:00,531
- Yes, so knock before entering.
- Coming through.
391
00:29:10,381 --> 00:29:12,406
- What'd you pinch that for?
- Look familiar?
392
00:29:12,484 --> 00:29:15,544
I had them in front of me all night, didn't I?
393
00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:18,747
Hey, that's off a Lonely Hearts badge!
394
00:29:18,823 --> 00:29:22,554
Yeah. How many pictures
did you and the boys take at the ball?
395
00:29:22,627 --> 00:29:24,925
Three, maybe four hundred. I don't know.
396
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:27,260
Rush the print of Miss Bathtub
through the lab.
397
00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:28,594
Then check it against the others.
398
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:30,964
- See if you can match them up, okay?
- Sure.
399
00:29:31,035 --> 00:29:34,937
- Shouldn't take more than a week.
- Yeah, but I want it done in an hour.
400
00:29:35,006 --> 00:29:36,701
- I'll see you at the office.
- Where are you going?
401
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:39,903
I'm gonna hitch a ride to the morgue.
If you match them, call me.
402
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,674
How about a ride to the morgue, Pete?
403
00:30:04,969 --> 00:30:07,096
Hey, Needle Nellie, anybody home?
404
00:30:07,172 --> 00:30:08,662
Hey, handsome.
405
00:30:09,007 --> 00:30:11,271
- How you doing, sweetheart?
- Doing all right, handsome.
406
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:13,037
Come here and give us a kiss.
407
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,815
- How's business at the morgue, Nellie?
- Dead.
408
00:30:19,551 --> 00:30:21,178
Business is dead.
409
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:25,621
- It's good to see you, handsome.
- Likewise, sweetheart.
410
00:30:25,690 --> 00:30:27,385
A long time between dates.
411
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:30,621
But right now,
I come seeking your expert female advice.
412
00:30:30,695 --> 00:30:34,131
Anybody that's lived as long as me
can give it. Shoot.
413
00:30:34,732 --> 00:30:37,565
Nellie, if you had just one dress
to your name
414
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:39,535
and you'd fastened something onto it
with a safety pin,
415
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:40,969
and maybe you were in a hurry,
416
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,008
would you take time to undo the pin,
or would you rip the whole thing off?
417
00:30:44,075 --> 00:30:46,305
- This is a riddle?
- No, seriously.
418
00:30:46,377 --> 00:30:51,041
Well, if I had 10 dresses and the house
was burning down, I'd still undo the pin.
419
00:30:51,115 --> 00:30:52,639
Any lady would.
420
00:30:53,017 --> 00:30:55,485
That's what I figured.
I just wanted a woman to confirm it.
421
00:30:55,553 --> 00:30:57,453
I love you, Nellie. I love you.
422
00:30:57,522 --> 00:31:00,047
- Where you going, handsome?
- I gotta see the doc.
423
00:31:00,124 --> 00:31:01,955
Maybe I can get you some business, Nellie.
424
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:11,364
Did you get those ringside ducats
I sent you?
425
00:31:11,436 --> 00:31:13,427
Steve! Yeah, it was a great fight.
426
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:15,438
Mishke really tore that Haybelly apart,
didn't he?
427
00:31:15,506 --> 00:31:19,840
Had so much blood spattered on my glasses,
I missed the knockout punch.
428
00:31:20,478 --> 00:31:24,175
Look, Doc,
they just brought in an accidental death.
429
00:31:24,249 --> 00:31:27,047
- They're putting her in the freezer right now.
- So?
430
00:31:27,118 --> 00:31:30,110
So, I'd like you to give her
the onceover for me. An autopsy.
431
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:33,646
Accidents are out of my province.
You know that, Steve.
432
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:35,383
It's going to be
a great World Series this year.
433
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:37,087
Yeah, that it is.
434
00:31:37,528 --> 00:31:41,362
I don't suppose you'd be interested
in viewing the festivities from a box seat?
435
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:47,132
Are you trying to bribe a city official?
436
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:51,135
Right behind first base, Doc.
437
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:11,028
Yeah. Yeah, get some prints ready.
I think we've got our front page.
438
00:32:11,095 --> 00:32:14,792
Well, this is your lucky day. Drop back,
I want you to mark my racing form.
439
00:32:14,866 --> 00:32:16,766
Get the door, will you?
440
00:32:17,368 --> 00:32:20,064
Yeah, and don't forget, I smoke cigars.
441
00:32:20,838 --> 00:32:24,831
- Hey, Steve, let me wipe those off a little.
- Wipe them tomorrow.
442
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:32,008
Will you smile again
if I take you to dinner tonight?
443
00:32:32,083 --> 00:32:34,847
- A little celebration coming up.
- What's the celebration?
444
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:37,649
Another McCleary scoop.
Getting monotonous, isn't it?
445
00:32:37,722 --> 00:32:42,557
That dinner. A two-party celebration,
or are you bringing a friend?
446
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:44,559
Just you and me alone.
447
00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:47,825
I'll smile again.
What are the fragile treasures?
448
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:52,060
Very rare items.
Pictures of a dame with her mouth shut.
449
00:32:53,071 --> 00:32:55,972
- Joey, catch the door, will you?
- All right.
450
00:32:58,676 --> 00:33:01,270
I've been waiting a long time
for a chance to say this.
451
00:33:01,346 --> 00:33:03,439
- Stop the presses!
- Did you get a morning-after story
452
00:33:03,514 --> 00:33:05,004
on any of those couples
we married last night?
453
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:07,483
I got a story from one
of the Lonely Heart Ball guests, all right.
454
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:11,079
But she didn't get married last night.
She got murdered!
455
00:33:19,964 --> 00:33:23,263
- Who is she?
- A Jane Doe. Nobody knows her real name.
456
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:25,996
The police think she slipped in the bathtub
and bashed her head in,
457
00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:30,507
- or they did until a little while ago.
- But you knew better all the time?
458
00:33:30,575 --> 00:33:32,941
After Doc O'Hanlon got through
cutting her up for me.
459
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:36,538
She died between 9:00 and 12:00 last night,
before she went under in the tub.
460
00:33:36,614 --> 00:33:38,479
No water in her lungs.
461
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:40,283
Did he find anything else?
462
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:44,788
Yeah, her killer was a man, middle-aged,
fair complexion. Had brown hair.
463
00:33:45,390 --> 00:33:47,620
O'Hanlon found that
in scraping under her fingernails.
464
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:50,593
You ran into this
just by playing a hunch, huh?
465
00:33:50,661 --> 00:33:53,858
A string from a Lonely Heart badge
was on her dress in the closet.
466
00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:57,628
The badge had been torn off.
I followed through from there.
467
00:34:00,371 --> 00:34:04,364
Well, is this a story,
this Lonely Heart murdered after the ball?
468
00:34:04,575 --> 00:34:06,805
Can you sell papers with this?
469
00:34:10,248 --> 00:34:13,342
Baxter, Jordan, Allison,
get in here right away.
470
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:15,477
They didn't know her name, you said?
471
00:34:15,553 --> 00:34:18,920
Well, she called herself Jane Jones.
How phony can you get?
472
00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:20,014
We've just been struck by lightning.
473
00:34:20,091 --> 00:34:22,025
It's a great follow-up
for the Lonely Hearts Ball.
474
00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:24,118
Tell them about it, Steve.
475
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:30,997
We'll call her Miss Lonely Heart,
no other name. Alone in the city, friendless.
476
00:34:31,536 --> 00:34:34,801
She went to our shindig last night,
hunting for a soul mate.
477
00:34:34,872 --> 00:34:37,363
Maybe she found one, the wrong one.
478
00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:39,872
Anyway, she left early,
and sometime before midnight
479
00:34:39,944 --> 00:34:41,343
she was beaten to death in her room
480
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:44,540
by a brown-haired, middle-aged man
of fair complexion.
481
00:34:44,615 --> 00:34:46,480
A smash follow-up is right.
482
00:34:46,551 --> 00:34:49,247
The killer had a head full of brains.
Good nerves.
483
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,723
He lugged her to the bathroom,
stripped her, tossed the body in the tub.
484
00:34:54,459 --> 00:34:58,520
No. No, he stood the body in the tub.
Aimed, let go!
485
00:34:58,696 --> 00:35:03,190
Bang, her head cracks the faucet.
Almost perfect crime. Ordinary accident.
486
00:35:04,035 --> 00:35:06,936
He's working smartly,
a guy with imagination.
487
00:35:07,004 --> 00:35:10,963
He takes her slip, stockings,
washes them, hangs them up to dry.
488
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,000
He wipes his prints off everywhere.
489
00:35:13,077 --> 00:35:16,274
He starts getting rid of anything
that could identify her.
490
00:35:16,347 --> 00:35:18,907
He took a ring off her,
probably a wedding or engagement ring.
491
00:35:18,983 --> 00:35:22,111
- How do you know that?
- Whitish circle, third finger, left hand.
492
00:35:22,186 --> 00:35:25,587
- O'Hanlon spotted it at the morgue.
- All right, go on, go on.
493
00:35:25,656 --> 00:35:27,954
Well, he grabs any other personal items
that might identify her
494
00:35:28,025 --> 00:35:29,856
and throws them in her suitcase and blows.
495
00:35:29,927 --> 00:35:32,361
- How do you know she's got a suitcase?
- Every dame's got a suitcase.
496
00:35:32,430 --> 00:35:34,022
But there wasn't one
in Miss Lonely Heart's room.
497
00:35:34,098 --> 00:35:35,861
This'll kick up the circulation.
498
00:35:36,701 --> 00:35:40,137
We can make the 5:00 edition exclusive.
Steve can do the lead story.
499
00:35:40,204 --> 00:35:42,263
Jordan, I want three column cuts
of the dame's picture at the ball
500
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:44,433
and the murder photo.
Allison, write me a sob story,
501
00:35:44,509 --> 00:35:46,568
"Miss Lonely Heart
won't be Ionely anymore."
502
00:35:46,644 --> 00:35:47,736
Fine job, Steve.
503
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,303
Sure, it's a great job,
but we're gonna top it.
504
00:35:50,381 --> 00:35:51,439
How?
505
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,513
- Bury her.
- Bury her?
506
00:35:57,555 --> 00:35:59,682
The best story I ever dug up, and he tops it.
507
00:35:59,757 --> 00:36:02,157
By 5:00 tonight, Miss Lonely Heart
will be selling newspapers for us
508
00:36:02,226 --> 00:36:05,923
on every street corner in Manhattan.
Now, go on, get going.
509
00:37:42,126 --> 00:37:43,787
Be seeing you, Humpty.
510
00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:31,269
Look, I've shown you everything in the shop.
That's the last one I've got!
511
00:38:35,513 --> 00:38:36,605
Mark!
512
00:38:39,283 --> 00:38:41,217
- Mark, old boy!
- How are you, Charlie.
513
00:38:41,285 --> 00:38:45,085
What distasteful mission brings you to this
unholy neighborhood, Mark, my friend?
514
00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:46,589
I'm just looking around.
I like to keep my hand in,
515
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,124
even though I am strapped
to a desk right now.
516
00:38:48,192 --> 00:38:50,126
You wouldn't mean you're keeping
your hand in by working
517
00:38:50,194 --> 00:38:51,821
on this Lonely Heart murder,
would you, now, Mark?
518
00:38:51,896 --> 00:38:53,955
I've got a staff to take care of that for me.
519
00:38:54,031 --> 00:38:56,727
You can't kid an old newshound
like me, Mark.
520
00:38:56,801 --> 00:39:00,999
Still following our old formula,
first check the hock shops for a clue?
521
00:39:01,072 --> 00:39:03,336
Didn't wanna tip your hand
to those cops in there, did you?
522
00:39:03,407 --> 00:39:05,637
I tell you I'm not down here on business.
Now stop playing hawkshaw!
523
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:08,770
Let me show you Charlie Barnes
still has the master's touch
524
00:39:08,846 --> 00:39:11,713
- when it comes to following up a lead, Mark.
- Tell me about it later, will you,
525
00:39:11,782 --> 00:39:15,684
- when you come back to work for me?
- You're afraid I'll get drunk and tip the story.
526
00:39:15,753 --> 00:39:18,881
- I'm tapering off, Mark.
- That's fine, Charlie. I'll call you.
527
00:39:18,956 --> 00:39:23,825
Let me work this with you, Mark. I know
this whole district from gutter to rum-heads.
528
00:39:23,894 --> 00:39:26,226
Pete in the pawnshop's
an honored friend of mine.
529
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:27,992
- Yeah.
- I can get him to work with me and...
530
00:39:28,065 --> 00:39:30,898
- Hello, Charlie!
- Go away.
531
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:35,400
- Here, Charlie, here's something to count.
- I don't want a handout, Mark.
532
00:39:35,473 --> 00:39:37,498
- I want to work.
- You can pay me later. I'll call you, Charlie.
533
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:39,338
Mark, let me help...
534
00:40:13,544 --> 00:40:14,704
Hang onto them, Pete.
535
00:40:14,779 --> 00:40:17,873
We'll drop back payday
and look them over again.
536
00:40:25,022 --> 00:40:26,489
Them guys should wear glasses.
537
00:40:26,557 --> 00:40:29,185
They do so much looking,
but never no buying.
538
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:31,125
Get this for me, Pete.
539
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:34,356
Taking something out for a change
instead of putting it in, Charlie?
540
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:37,526
I admit to the novelty of the occasion, Peter.
541
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:50,109
- Hey, you didn't hock this with me.
- Doing a favor for a friend.
542
00:40:52,082 --> 00:40:56,178
Them cops. You know, if someday
they should buy something from me, I'd...
543
00:40:56,253 --> 00:40:59,620
No, that'd be bad. I'd drop dead.
544
00:41:02,226 --> 00:41:06,185
You know, Charlie, I ought to be
in some other kind of business.
545
00:41:06,697 --> 00:41:10,497
You really meet a very poor class of people
in this business.
546
00:41:10,768 --> 00:41:13,259
Not meaning anything personal,
you understand.
547
00:41:13,337 --> 00:41:16,773
But I'm always dealing with people
who are in trouble,
548
00:41:17,274 --> 00:41:21,608
people who gotta hock something.
People who gotta buy something cheap.
549
00:41:24,582 --> 00:41:28,109
I don't like cheap things.
I never did and I never will.
550
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:34,356
I should have been big fur man, maybe,
or big jewelry man.
551
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,651
Then I could deal with rich people.
552
00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:42,554
That's the kind of people
I really prefer to deal with.
553
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:47,694
- Hey! How much is on this ticket?
- Two bucks.
554
00:41:58,249 --> 00:41:59,841
Here, sign here.
555
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:08,424
You know, sometimes they say
even the rich people aren't happy.
556
00:42:08,492 --> 00:42:11,017
But how that could be, I don't know.
557
00:42:12,296 --> 00:42:15,857
Thank you, Peter.
Thank you for being in business!
558
00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:21,433
Thank you very much.
559
00:42:33,517 --> 00:42:35,041
A shot, Heeney.
560
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:38,614
You look like your blood pressure's boiling,
Charlie. What's the matter?
561
00:42:38,689 --> 00:42:40,680
The classic irony of the age, Heeney.
562
00:42:40,758 --> 00:42:43,659
Charlie Barnes, a stewbum,
rocking the newspaper world
563
00:42:43,727 --> 00:42:46,457
like he never did in all his sober days.
564
00:43:00,411 --> 00:43:02,208
- Composing.
- Yes, sir.
565
00:43:04,481 --> 00:43:07,712
Yes. Yes, madam,
I have two answers for you.
566
00:43:08,185 --> 00:43:11,313
First, you shouldn't talk
to strange men in bars.
567
00:43:11,388 --> 00:43:13,982
Second, because he asked you to marry him
568
00:43:14,058 --> 00:43:16,356
then hit you with a pretzel dish
when you refused
569
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:19,191
isn't conclusive proof
he's our Lonely Heart Killer,
570
00:43:19,263 --> 00:43:21,697
but thanks for calling, lady. Bye.
571
00:43:23,334 --> 00:43:26,326
Phony or not,
those tips belong to the police.
572
00:43:26,704 --> 00:43:30,299
When are you going to get rid of the idea
you're wearing an invisible badge?
573
00:43:30,374 --> 00:43:34,140
Julie Allison. Hello, Charlie. How are you?
574
00:43:36,714 --> 00:43:38,181
The Lonely Heart murder?
575
00:43:38,248 --> 00:43:42,844
And you've got to meet me right away.
We have to figure out how to handle this.
576
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,514
I know the killer, and it's dynamite.
577
00:43:46,757 --> 00:43:48,952
Well, Charlie,
that story is really Steve McCleary's.
578
00:43:49,026 --> 00:43:52,587
- I think you'd better talk to...
- No, no, Julie, I want you to have this.
579
00:43:52,663 --> 00:43:55,393
Now I can repay you, Julie child,
for everything.
580
00:43:55,466 --> 00:43:59,596
Julie, this is so... It's so tremendous,
it'll put both of us on top.
581
00:44:02,272 --> 00:44:04,035
What? What, Julie?
582
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:08,835
Okay, okay, both of you meet me.
583
00:44:08,912 --> 00:44:11,540
Maybe we will need
somebody like McCleary.
584
00:44:11,615 --> 00:44:14,175
Steve, Charlie says
he has information on the murder.
585
00:44:14,251 --> 00:44:18,654
- He's awfully excited about something.
- About two quarts full, probably.
586
00:44:19,890 --> 00:44:21,881
Yeah, Charlie, what's up?
587
00:44:22,726 --> 00:44:25,695
I wanted Julie to have this,
but she insists you be on in it.
588
00:44:25,763 --> 00:44:27,663
I mean you be in on it.
589
00:44:27,965 --> 00:44:30,297
- What's the matter, Charlie?
- No.
590
00:44:31,368 --> 00:44:34,462
- What? You're not sore, are you?
- No, go away!
591
00:44:36,006 --> 00:44:38,099
What? What have I got?
592
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:40,939
I've got the Lonely Heart Killer for you,
that's what!
593
00:44:41,011 --> 00:44:44,777
Gee, Charlie, that's great.
You getting him crocked so he'll confess?
594
00:44:44,848 --> 00:44:48,807
I haven't got him. I know who he is.
595
00:44:54,858 --> 00:44:55,950
What?
596
00:44:59,563 --> 00:45:03,465
Yes, I'm in a saloon.
I'm in Heeney's. But I'm not drunk.
597
00:45:04,034 --> 00:45:07,128
I've just taken the hottest story
of the century out of hock, and I'm gonna...
598
00:45:08,038 --> 00:45:11,064
He's really flying tonight.
See what your 10 bucks did?
599
00:45:11,141 --> 00:45:15,009
Stop treating him like some
weak-minded child. Listen to what he's got.
600
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:19,482
- He's not this excited for nothing.
- You know what he's got? The DTs.
601
00:45:19,616 --> 00:45:21,675
Charlie Barnes, tanked to the eyeballs,
602
00:45:21,752 --> 00:45:24,880
says he just took the Lonely Heart
murder solution out of hock.
603
00:45:26,056 --> 00:45:29,583
Hello, Charlie?
Still there? Let's start all over again.
604
00:45:30,294 --> 00:45:34,788
Listen, you mental midget. The only reason
I'm calling the <i>Express</i> is Julie Allison.
605
00:45:34,865 --> 00:45:37,732
Before I'd give this story
to an insolent young pup like you,
606
00:45:37,801 --> 00:45:39,792
I'd take it to the <i>Daily Leader!</i>
607
00:45:39,870 --> 00:45:42,304
Charlie's mad now.
Gonna sell it to the <i>Leader.</i>
608
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:46,069
- Hang up on the drunken slob.
- Julie? She just left.
609
00:45:46,477 --> 00:45:48,570
I guess we'll just have to read your story
in the <i>Leader</i> tomorrow.
610
00:45:48,645 --> 00:45:50,772
- So long, pal.
- Give me that.
611
00:45:51,815 --> 00:45:53,077
- Hello? Hello?
- Don't be silly, Julie.
612
00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:55,141
He'll just keep you up all night
listening to his fairytales.
613
00:45:55,219 --> 00:45:59,349
- Where was he calling from?
- Bellevue psycho ward, I think he said.
614
00:46:00,257 --> 00:46:01,747
Your 10 bucks.
615
00:47:13,697 --> 00:47:15,460
- Keep this for me, Heeney.
- Why, sure, Charlie.
616
00:47:15,532 --> 00:47:17,056
A couple hours.
617
00:47:17,868 --> 00:47:20,359
One more, Heeney. One for the road.
618
00:48:05,215 --> 00:48:06,739
Hello, Charlie.
619
00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:13,617
Mark. I thought you were still down
at the Bowery.
620
00:48:15,692 --> 00:48:18,024
I hear you got a story, Charlie.
621
00:48:18,195 --> 00:48:20,060
Where'd you hear that?
622
00:48:20,597 --> 00:48:25,364
- Isn't that what you told McCleary?
- Why, I was just schmoozing him, I...
623
00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:28,295
Lining him up for a little touch.
624
00:48:28,372 --> 00:48:31,432
I gave you some money.
What did you do with it?
625
00:48:31,775 --> 00:48:33,333
You didn't, by any chance,
find a pawn ticket
626
00:48:33,410 --> 00:48:36,379
- mixed in with the money, did you, Charlie?
- Pawn ticket? Why, I...
627
00:48:36,446 --> 00:48:40,177
Did you use the money
to get the story out of hock, Charlie?
628
00:48:41,218 --> 00:48:44,585
You've got something that belongs to me.
Where is it?
629
00:48:45,389 --> 00:48:47,220
You were on the way to the <i>Leader</i>
with some evidence.
630
00:48:47,291 --> 00:48:49,725
Where is it, Charlie? Where is it?
631
00:49:01,905 --> 00:49:04,738
It's a wonderful story, isn't it, Charlie?
632
00:49:05,509 --> 00:49:07,909
You wanted to be a big man, Mark.
633
00:49:08,745 --> 00:49:12,476
This will make you famous
beyond your most ambitious dreams.
634
00:49:13,884 --> 00:49:18,412
Great story?
I've waited all my life for a story like this.
635
00:49:19,456 --> 00:49:23,483
Well, you've got it, Charlie.
But you're not going to write it.
636
00:49:27,130 --> 00:49:30,622
You're crazy, Mark.
Twenty years you've covered the news.
637
00:49:30,701 --> 00:49:33,761
Seen the bright boys try this. It never works.
638
00:49:56,493 --> 00:49:59,587
We just heard about Charlie Barnes.
Rotten deal.
639
00:50:00,163 --> 00:50:04,293
It's hard when it's someone like Charlie
you've known for 22 years.
640
00:50:04,401 --> 00:50:06,164
I knew him 25 years.
641
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:10,167
I never expected to see him
laying on a slab in this place.
642
00:50:10,507 --> 00:50:15,001
Is that right, Doc? Was he found
in an alleyway across from the <i>Daily Leader?</i>
643
00:50:15,078 --> 00:50:17,205
- Steve...
- Yes, that's right.
644
00:50:17,447 --> 00:50:20,439
The <i>Daily Leader.</i> He had a story!
645
00:50:20,517 --> 00:50:23,509
But he was taking your clever,
insolent, fresh-guy advice
646
00:50:23,587 --> 00:50:27,216
- and giving it to the <i>Leader!</i>
- He was drunk, Julie. How could I know...
647
00:50:27,290 --> 00:50:29,656
Charlie Barnes never got so drunk
he didn't know a story!
648
00:50:29,726 --> 00:50:33,492
Or that he'd try to peddle
a phony tip to a newspaper! But you...
649
00:50:33,563 --> 00:50:35,394
You couldn't bother listening to him!
650
00:50:35,465 --> 00:50:38,798
You and that newsprint hero of yours,
Mark Chapman.
651
00:50:39,269 --> 00:50:41,032
You couldn't expect us to believe
that Charlie Barnes
652
00:50:41,104 --> 00:50:43,129
had any real information
on the murder, Julie.
653
00:50:43,206 --> 00:50:45,231
We still don't know that he did.
654
00:50:45,308 --> 00:50:49,711
If you and that stone-hearted, glory seeking,
"I am the great Mark Chapman"
655
00:50:49,780 --> 00:50:51,771
had thrown Charlie
the miserable crumb of respect
656
00:50:51,848 --> 00:50:54,510
of just listening to him, he'd be alive today!
657
00:50:54,584 --> 00:50:58,748
Julie, maybe you're right.
Maybe it is partly my fault Charlie's dead.
658
00:50:58,822 --> 00:51:01,882
I'm sorry. Really sorry. But what can I do?
659
00:51:02,392 --> 00:51:06,123
Don't go soft! Show Chapman
you're a chip off the old block.
660
00:51:06,596 --> 00:51:08,655
Have him give Charlie a fancy funeral.
661
00:51:08,732 --> 00:51:11,997
Great headline.
"The <i>Express</i> buries its cast-offs."
662
00:51:12,436 --> 00:51:14,097
It'll sell papers!
663
00:51:27,350 --> 00:51:31,912
Kenny, rewrite that one paragraph, will you?
Allison had a bad night. Yeah.
664
00:51:32,289 --> 00:51:35,087
I just got yesterday's figures
from circulation, Mark.
665
00:51:35,158 --> 00:51:38,491
Six hundred and ninety-six thousand.
You're moving up there.
666
00:51:38,562 --> 00:51:41,292
Looks as though it's going to cost
the <i>Express</i> some bonus money before long.
667
00:51:41,364 --> 00:51:44,765
Quicker than you can say,
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Stockholder Rawley!"
668
00:51:44,835 --> 00:51:46,666
We're only starting,
Mr. Madison, only starting.
669
00:51:46,736 --> 00:51:48,260
That's the spirit!
670
00:51:48,338 --> 00:51:50,272
When you get to the editor's chair,
remember one thing.
671
00:51:50,340 --> 00:51:54,743
You're a hero with a lifetime job,
as long as the circulation is rising.
672
00:51:55,045 --> 00:51:59,379
- What have you got there?
- Something that will keep circulation rising.
673
00:51:59,716 --> 00:52:01,581
Charlie Barnes' story.
674
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:04,378
What are you talking about?
675
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:06,820
Charlie wasn't near the <i>Daily Leader</i>
by accident, Mark.
676
00:52:06,890 --> 00:52:08,790
He had something to print.
677
00:52:08,859 --> 00:52:11,419
I couldn't find it in his effects
at the morgue this morning,
678
00:52:11,495 --> 00:52:15,932
but I found it at Heeney's bar,
the joint Charlie phoned from last night.
679
00:52:16,233 --> 00:52:19,134
Half a pawnshop ticket was still on the bag.
680
00:52:19,236 --> 00:52:21,431
Pete's Hock Shop. I checked it.
681
00:52:21,505 --> 00:52:24,838
Charlie came in the pawnshop last night
with a claim check.
682
00:52:24,908 --> 00:52:27,536
Said he was unhocking it for a friend.
683
00:52:28,478 --> 00:52:31,743
Well, what's in the bag?
Miss Lonely Heart's name and address?
684
00:52:32,916 --> 00:52:36,477
Better than that, Mark.
Much better than that.
685
00:52:38,054 --> 00:52:40,579
A picture of the guy who killed her.
686
00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:52,362
A picture?
You can't even see the guy's face!
687
00:52:52,435 --> 00:52:54,596
What's the matter, Mark?
This is the first real lead we've got.
688
00:52:54,671 --> 00:52:56,263
The way you talked,
I thought we had it all sewed up.
689
00:52:56,339 --> 00:52:59,604
Sure, it's a lead, but it's a thin one.
How much does this give us?
690
00:52:59,676 --> 00:53:04,773
Well, we're certain the dame had a husband.
They were married in 1931 in Connecticut.
691
00:53:05,248 --> 00:53:09,048
- The husband's the guy who killed her.
- How do you make that?
692
00:53:09,419 --> 00:53:11,580
The ring mark on her finger
must have been a wedding ring.
693
00:53:11,655 --> 00:53:14,055
The inscription inside
could have identified him.
694
00:53:14,124 --> 00:53:16,388
And he grabbed the pawn ticket
figuring she'd hocked some belongings
695
00:53:16,459 --> 00:53:18,893
- that might peg him.
- Makes sense.
696
00:53:19,396 --> 00:53:22,194
Charlie got the pawn ticket from the killer.
697
00:53:22,265 --> 00:53:25,701
He must have been with him sometime,
someplace, yesterday.
698
00:53:25,769 --> 00:53:28,329
A lot of people
could have seen them together, right?
699
00:53:28,405 --> 00:53:29,770
Could have.
700
00:53:31,141 --> 00:53:33,609
Splash this picture
on the front page tonight.
701
00:53:33,677 --> 00:53:35,975
Offer a reward for information.
702
00:53:39,149 --> 00:53:41,674
"Lonely Heart Killer strikes again."
703
00:53:43,153 --> 00:53:45,246
When you write the story,
say that Barnes was working on this case
704
00:53:45,322 --> 00:53:46,346
undercover for the <i>Express.</i>
705
00:53:46,423 --> 00:53:49,620
He got too close to the killer
and died in the line of duty.
706
00:53:49,693 --> 00:53:50,887
Mark, I don't know, it...
707
00:53:50,961 --> 00:53:54,863
Nobody can deny it. It'll help sell papers.
We'll offer $1,000.
708
00:53:55,232 --> 00:53:58,360
Look, kid, don't pin your hopes
on anybody being able
709
00:53:58,435 --> 00:54:02,030
to spot the guy from this.
Unless they got x-ray eyes.
710
00:54:02,339 --> 00:54:04,034
I'm sure Charlie connected
the guy in the picture
711
00:54:04,107 --> 00:54:08,601
with the bird who gave him the pawn ticket.
I'm going to fine-tooth the Bowery myself.
712
00:54:08,678 --> 00:54:11,374
It's even money
that's where Charlie ran into our man.
713
00:54:11,448 --> 00:54:12,972
Good luck, kid.
714
00:54:44,314 --> 00:54:47,875
- Well, I got them for you, McCleary.
- Good work, Heeney.
715
00:55:05,368 --> 00:55:09,634
Well, this does it. I'll never touch
another drop the rest of my life.
716
00:55:17,547 --> 00:55:19,515
'Course some of them
been sucking on the bottle all night,
717
00:55:19,582 --> 00:55:21,516
but they can still stand up.
718
00:55:21,584 --> 00:55:24,747
- They all knew Charlie?
- Yeah, they all knew him.
719
00:55:25,088 --> 00:55:29,081
If you give McCleary here
any bum information, I'll brain you.
720
00:55:29,793 --> 00:55:31,818
And I might even do worse.
721
00:55:31,961 --> 00:55:35,522
No more free shots
when you're seeing little red spiders.
722
00:55:35,999 --> 00:55:40,095
How many of you boys saw Charlie Barnes
the day he was killed? Raise your hands.
723
00:55:40,170 --> 00:55:44,197
All right, raise your mitts,
them that seen Charlie day before yesterday.
724
00:55:44,274 --> 00:55:45,366
Good.
725
00:55:48,478 --> 00:55:50,446
- Where did you see him?
- See who?
726
00:55:50,513 --> 00:55:54,279
- This guy must be used to talking to mirrors.
- Charlie Barnes.
727
00:55:54,351 --> 00:55:58,253
I seen him come out of a joint
where he flopped in the morning.
728
00:56:00,824 --> 00:56:02,815
You, where'd you see him?
729
00:56:03,460 --> 00:56:05,826
- Humpty O'Dougal's saloon.
- What time?
730
00:56:05,895 --> 00:56:10,389
In the afternoon. Late in the afternoon.
Charlie had a nice little bun on.
731
00:56:10,934 --> 00:56:11,992
Was he with anybody?
732
00:56:12,068 --> 00:56:14,036
With anybody?
Sure, he was with somebody.
733
00:56:14,104 --> 00:56:16,834
Charlie never drank by himself
if he had a little cash on him.
734
00:56:16,906 --> 00:56:19,966
- Well, do you know the guy he was with?
- Certainly I know who he was with.
735
00:56:20,043 --> 00:56:23,206
- Well, who was it?
- Me. He sprung me three slugs.
736
00:56:29,686 --> 00:56:32,678
When did you see him?
When did you see him?
737
00:56:36,159 --> 00:56:38,491
- This morning.
- Throw him out of here.
738
00:56:38,561 --> 00:56:41,086
- Wait a minute!
- What are you talking about?
739
00:56:41,164 --> 00:56:44,691
- Now, is there any more jokers in the crowd?
- I seen him.
740
00:56:45,735 --> 00:56:49,136
Yeah? Well, go on. Where'd you see him?
741
00:56:51,074 --> 00:56:53,770
On the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
742
00:56:53,843 --> 00:56:57,472
- Go on, go on.
- Nothing. He was working a sucker.
743
00:56:58,014 --> 00:57:01,177
- Giving him the pally act, that's all.
- Now think hard.
744
00:57:01,251 --> 00:57:04,243
Do you remember the sucker?
Do you remember what he looks like?
745
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,754
- Maybe.
- What do you mean, "Maybe"?
746
00:57:06,890 --> 00:57:10,826
- Maybe for 50 bucks.
- Why you...
747
00:57:11,995 --> 00:57:15,362
Do you think you could remember
for 1,000 bucks?
748
00:57:17,267 --> 00:57:19,258
Who could tell who he is?
749
00:57:19,469 --> 00:57:22,461
Can you describe
the man you saw Charlie with?
750
00:57:22,906 --> 00:57:26,273
Do I get $1,000 if I do?
751
00:57:26,443 --> 00:57:28,968
You do. If and when we find the guy.
752
00:57:29,379 --> 00:57:32,212
- Sure, I can describe him.
- Well, go ahead.
753
00:57:34,918 --> 00:57:37,819
- You paying the reward?
- No, but my boss is.
754
00:57:38,655 --> 00:57:41,647
- Then I'll describe it to him.
- Okay. Come on.
755
00:57:41,791 --> 00:57:44,385
Rush this over to the composing room.
756
00:57:44,761 --> 00:57:48,492
Kenny, see if you can figure out
a heading for that rubbish.
757
00:57:48,698 --> 00:57:50,723
Connie! Connie, take this.
758
00:57:58,475 --> 00:57:59,806
Wait here.
759
00:58:13,623 --> 00:58:15,318
Look, Lieutenant,
just refer the captain to me.
760
00:58:15,391 --> 00:58:18,189
I'll tell him he's cropping at the best
homicide man he ever had on the force.
761
00:58:18,261 --> 00:58:20,491
If he doesn't know that,
he's deaf, dumb and blind.
762
00:58:20,563 --> 00:58:22,861
Yeah, never mind the malarkey, Chapman!
763
00:58:22,932 --> 00:58:24,900
The next time
you people pull a stunt like this,
764
00:58:24,968 --> 00:58:27,596
I'll throw both you and McCleary in the can!
765
00:58:28,271 --> 00:58:31,832
Okay, Lieutenant, okay.
I give you my word. Goodbye, pal.
766
00:58:33,042 --> 00:58:35,340
Davis is screaming because we gave him
the suitcase only a half hour
767
00:58:35,411 --> 00:58:36,878
before he read it in the <i>Express.</i>
768
00:58:36,946 --> 00:58:39,437
Well, I've got something
that ought to make him happy again.
769
00:58:39,516 --> 00:58:40,744
Not another suitcase?
770
00:58:40,817 --> 00:58:44,776
A guy who can identify the man
Charlie got the pawn ticket from.
771
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:51,384
Hey, Bailey. Come in here.
772
00:59:00,103 --> 00:59:03,561
He wouldn't describe the guy to me.
He needed the boss.
773
00:59:06,643 --> 00:59:08,304
You the boss?
774
00:59:09,379 --> 00:59:13,611
Yeah, and don't waste my time.
Where'd you see this guy with Charlie?
775
00:59:15,818 --> 00:59:18,446
Down the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
776
00:59:19,956 --> 00:59:22,151
You say you can describe him?
777
00:59:41,844 --> 00:59:44,335
Well, go on. What did he look like?
778
00:59:54,057 --> 00:59:55,786
Stand up, will you?
779
01:00:04,467 --> 01:00:07,766
Yeah, just how I figured.
780
01:00:08,805 --> 01:00:10,432
You figured what?
781
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,272
He was your size,
782
01:00:17,313 --> 01:00:18,678
your build.
783
01:00:19,115 --> 01:00:21,345
Could have been as old as you.
784
01:00:21,951 --> 01:00:26,217
- Is that all?
- All you asked me was to describe him.
785
01:00:26,723 --> 01:00:30,625
That was no description!
That could fit a million guys in this town.
786
01:00:30,693 --> 01:00:34,060
- Even me.
- Well, how about the reward?
787
01:00:34,130 --> 01:00:38,123
Here, take this down to the cashier
and pick yourself up five bucks.
788
01:00:38,201 --> 01:00:41,261
- Show him where it is, Steve.
- Come on, Bailey.
789
01:01:30,186 --> 01:01:31,517
Hey, Baxter, where's Julie?
790
01:01:31,587 --> 01:01:34,078
She came in this morning,
banged this out on her typewriter,
791
01:01:34,157 --> 01:01:36,216
and told me to give it to Chapman.
792
01:01:36,292 --> 01:01:38,385
- What is it?
- Her resignation.
793
01:01:38,461 --> 01:01:42,261
I figured I'd hang onto it a day or so.
Maybe she'd cool off.
794
01:01:42,632 --> 01:01:46,261
I'm sure glad you did.
I'll take care of it for you, okay?
795
01:01:49,238 --> 01:01:50,762
Baxter, thanks.
796
01:02:00,883 --> 01:02:03,647
- Hello, Mrs. Allison.
- Well, hello, Steve. Come in.
797
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,051
Thank you.
798
01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:14,458
I have a pot of coffee in the kitchen.
I'd better see to it.
799
01:02:14,664 --> 01:02:16,564
Can I say a few words to you?
800
01:02:16,632 --> 01:02:19,533
Without getting hit with a table
or something?
801
01:02:19,602 --> 01:02:22,230
Speak your piece and get it over with.
802
01:02:22,338 --> 01:02:25,535
I just got rocked
with a bad piece of news, Julie.
803
01:02:25,742 --> 01:02:28,040
I heard about your resignation.
804
01:02:28,444 --> 01:02:31,845
Well, I can't imagine
why you'd shed any tears over it.
805
01:02:31,914 --> 01:02:33,211
Well, for what it's worth,
806
01:02:33,282 --> 01:02:36,308
your resigning knocks the props
out of a lot of things for me.
807
01:02:37,754 --> 01:02:40,655
That couldn't have come
from Steve McCleary.
808
01:02:41,791 --> 01:02:44,851
Okay, pass it. But I didn't figure
your burn at Chapman and me
809
01:02:44,927 --> 01:02:48,454
would be bigger than your wanting
to do something about Charlie's murder.
810
01:02:49,632 --> 01:02:52,829
Don't start playing me
for a hollow-headed female now, Steve.
811
01:02:52,902 --> 01:02:55,871
Your only interest, and Chapman's,
in Charlie's death is exploiting it
812
01:02:55,938 --> 01:02:59,601
- for all the circulation jumping it's worth!
- Julie, I'm not digging on a story now
813
01:02:59,675 --> 01:03:03,577
just for the school-boy bang of seeing
my name over a sensational yarn.
814
01:03:03,646 --> 01:03:06,672
Yeah, that's right, I had to get hit pretty hard
before I smartened up.
815
01:03:06,749 --> 01:03:09,309
But now I'm leveling
on the Charlie Barnes business.
816
01:03:13,422 --> 01:03:18,257
Well, if I can believe what I'm hearing,
this certainly is a different McCleary.
817
01:03:19,328 --> 01:03:20,955
I've been working night and day.
818
01:03:21,030 --> 01:03:24,227
All I've done is run the local leads
to a dead end.
819
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:29,294
There's only one gimmick left to follow.
This picture, the marriage in Connecticut.
820
01:03:29,472 --> 01:03:33,067
It's odd the person who married them
hasn't recognized it.
821
01:03:33,142 --> 01:03:36,077
Unless he's dead or hasn't seen the picture.
822
01:03:36,579 --> 01:03:40,310
Yeah, I thought of that angle, too.
But it's a million-to-one shot.
823
01:03:40,383 --> 01:03:43,716
A guy would have to be an elephant
to remember a face after 21 years.
824
01:03:44,787 --> 01:03:48,314
Tell him about the elephant we met
on Fifth Avenue, about four years ago.
825
01:03:48,391 --> 01:03:50,791
We were walking along the street when,
right out of the blue,
826
01:03:50,860 --> 01:03:53,021
a complete stranger stopped me.
827
01:03:53,095 --> 01:03:56,656
It turned out to be the little preacher
who married Julie's father and me
828
01:03:56,732 --> 01:03:59,724
in Portland, Maine, 23 years before!
829
01:04:01,404 --> 01:04:06,603
- And he actually was able to recognize you?
- And I'd put on a little weight since then.
830
01:04:07,210 --> 01:04:10,270
They say a New Englander
seldom forgets a face.
831
01:04:10,980 --> 01:04:13,813
Crazy odds, but what can we lose?
832
01:04:15,051 --> 01:04:16,416
Yeah, get this picture
833
01:04:16,485 --> 01:04:19,750
to every churchman, judge
and justice of the peace in Connecticut.
834
01:04:19,822 --> 01:04:24,259
- It's certainly worth trying.
- It's a big job. Compiling lists,
835
01:04:24,527 --> 01:04:26,620
- checking out leads.
- It can be done.
836
01:04:26,696 --> 01:04:28,687
The two of us could handle it, Julie.
837
01:04:29,732 --> 01:04:32,667
Well, I'd like to, Steve, but I've resigned.
838
01:04:32,735 --> 01:04:36,637
And I'd sooner drop dead
than ask Mark Chapman for my job back.
839
01:04:43,312 --> 01:04:45,803
- You dog!
- It never got past Baxter.
840
01:04:46,883 --> 01:04:48,908
A list of churches in each town
is no problem.
841
01:04:48,985 --> 01:04:52,318
The judges and JPs we can get
from the state legal directory in Hartford.
842
01:04:52,388 --> 01:04:54,720
Yeah, you start packing.
Enough for a couple of weeks.
843
01:04:54,790 --> 01:04:56,451
I'm going to the office
and get the lab boys started
844
01:04:56,525 --> 01:04:57,787
on knocking out a few hundred circulars.
845
01:04:57,860 --> 01:05:00,260
But suppose Chapman says no
to my working with you on it?
846
01:05:00,329 --> 01:05:03,492
Why should he? Anyway, I'm not going
to tell him anything until we're ready to go.
847
01:05:03,566 --> 01:05:04,658
Tonight sometime.
848
01:05:04,734 --> 01:05:08,898
Mom, you think it's safe for me to travel
out of state at night with this young man?
849
01:05:08,971 --> 01:05:12,702
Just so he doesn't misconstrue
the meaning of "freedom of the press."
850
01:05:12,775 --> 01:05:16,336
Hey, you wonderful woman.
I'll check with you for dinner.
851
01:05:21,417 --> 01:05:23,544
Steve, this is shot-in-the-dark stuff.
852
01:05:23,619 --> 01:05:26,452
Mark, more rabbit-brained ideas than this
have paid off.
853
01:05:26,522 --> 01:05:28,956
Your hottest lead is right here in town
where the murders were committed.
854
01:05:29,025 --> 01:05:32,290
Yeah, our hottest lead was in town,
but it dried up like a puddle in July.
855
01:05:32,361 --> 01:05:33,589
You're looking for a mental marvel,
856
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:36,154
a guy who can recognize somebody
he'd seen for 15 or 20 minutes
857
01:05:36,232 --> 01:05:38,757
at a wedding ceremony
he performed 21 years ago.
858
01:05:38,834 --> 01:05:41,394
How do we know he only saw them
for 15 or 20 minutes?
859
01:05:41,470 --> 01:05:44,200
Maybe they were members of his church
or were married by a judge
860
01:05:44,273 --> 01:05:46,298
or a justice in their own town.
861
01:05:46,375 --> 01:05:48,605
Steve, you're off
on a needle-in-a-haystack hunt.
862
01:05:48,678 --> 01:05:51,078
You can find a needle in a haystack
if you look long enough.
863
01:05:51,147 --> 01:05:53,775
You don't think I'm gonna let you
hang around up there indefinitely, do you?
864
01:05:53,849 --> 01:05:55,680
You won't have to. A week, probably.
865
01:05:55,751 --> 01:05:58,982
Julie Allison's coming along to help me.
It's all arranged.
866
01:05:59,055 --> 01:06:02,456
It's all arranged. And that five grand reward.
You arranged that, too?
867
01:06:02,525 --> 01:06:06,586
No, you did, or will.
Mark, what's eating you?
868
01:06:07,096 --> 01:06:09,257
I'm only checking out every possible angle.
869
01:06:09,332 --> 01:06:11,061
Kid, I don't want you to beat your brains out.
870
01:06:11,133 --> 01:06:13,033
We can get just so much
out of this Lonely Hearts story,
871
01:06:13,102 --> 01:06:16,128
and then we'll start easing it off
and let it die a natural death.
872
01:06:16,205 --> 01:06:19,368
Let it die? Mark, we let Charlie Barnes die!
873
01:06:20,509 --> 01:06:22,909
The least we can do now is to find his killer.
874
01:06:23,679 --> 01:06:26,443
You're the guy who pounded into me,
"Never give up till you've got the story."
875
01:06:26,515 --> 01:06:28,449
Well, I'm not quitting on this one
until I've licked it.
876
01:06:28,517 --> 01:06:30,985
You can reach me
at the Lenox Hotel in Hartford.
877
01:06:56,579 --> 01:06:57,978
Long distance.
878
01:06:58,047 --> 01:06:59,844
I want some information.
879
01:06:59,915 --> 01:07:01,906
A telephone number
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
880
01:07:01,984 --> 01:07:05,181
The name is Hacker. He's a judge.
I don't remember his first name.
881
01:07:05,254 --> 01:07:07,222
You wish to place a call to this party?
882
01:07:07,289 --> 01:07:10,383
No, no. Not yet, that is.
I just want to get his telephone number.
883
01:07:10,459 --> 01:07:12,188
<i>One moment, please.</i>
884
01:07:16,799 --> 01:07:20,235
Hello? The Middlebury operator
has no listing for anyone by that name.
885
01:07:21,037 --> 01:07:22,436
There isn't?
886
01:07:23,305 --> 01:07:25,296
Middlebury's a small town.
Will you ask the operator
887
01:07:25,374 --> 01:07:26,966
if she knows anything
about Judge Hacker at all?
888
01:07:27,043 --> 01:07:29,273
Is he deceased, moved away, or what?
889
01:07:29,345 --> 01:07:31,074
<i>One moment, please.</i>
890
01:07:35,518 --> 01:07:38,510
Hello? The local operator
has been in Middlebury for five years
891
01:07:38,587 --> 01:07:40,646
and knows no one
by the name of Judge Hacker.
892
01:07:40,723 --> 01:07:42,384
That's all the information she can give us.
893
01:07:43,959 --> 01:07:45,153
Thanks.
894
01:08:32,908 --> 01:08:35,308
No, Reverend,
I'm afraid that's not our couple.
895
01:08:36,412 --> 01:08:39,040
You may be positive, Reverend,
but you're mistaken.
896
01:08:39,115 --> 01:08:41,515
The woman in the photo we sent you
is dead.
897
01:08:41,584 --> 01:08:43,916
Thank you for calling, Reverend.
898
01:08:46,288 --> 01:08:48,153
You don't have to tell me.
899
01:08:48,224 --> 01:08:50,852
It's written all over
your bright and shining face.
900
01:08:50,926 --> 01:08:53,759
A 190-mile drive
to have a whack-head tell me
901
01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:56,423
that both the people in our circular
died a year ago.
902
01:08:57,766 --> 01:09:01,896
New Englanders remember, all right.
Every face is familiar to them.
903
01:09:04,406 --> 01:09:07,671
Hello? Just a minute, here's Steve.
904
01:09:08,110 --> 01:09:10,340
It's that man again. Every day.
905
01:09:10,412 --> 01:09:13,313
Does he think we'll keep it a big fat secret
if we find something?
906
01:09:15,284 --> 01:09:16,649
Yeah, Mark.
907
01:09:18,487 --> 01:09:20,819
Nothing but an aching back
and some interesting meetings
908
01:09:20,890 --> 01:09:22,824
with jelly-brained screwballs.
909
01:09:22,892 --> 01:09:26,555
You've had enough time, Steve. Ten days.
Admit it's a dud. Come on home.
910
01:09:26,629 --> 01:09:29,325
Two more days, Mark.
We'll stick it out to the end of the week.
911
01:09:29,899 --> 01:09:33,391
Get out of the haystack. It's easier
to find the needles at the scene of the crime.
912
01:09:33,469 --> 01:09:34,936
I'll see you.
913
01:09:35,771 --> 01:09:39,832
Two more days. I don't even know myself
why we're sticking around.
914
01:09:41,043 --> 01:09:42,772
Anything there that sounds good?
915
01:09:44,180 --> 01:09:47,946
I'll read you a fair sample.
From a J.P. Waterbury.
916
01:09:49,084 --> 01:09:52,451
"Send me $5,000
and I will tell you names of people."
917
01:09:52,655 --> 01:09:54,646
A new head I'll send him.
918
01:09:55,658 --> 01:09:58,320
I've got a headache.
I think I'll lie down for a while.
919
01:09:59,728 --> 01:10:01,855
Why don't you lie down here?
920
01:10:07,269 --> 01:10:08,998
I'll go to my room.
921
01:10:15,344 --> 01:10:17,744
McCleary. Okay, put him on.
922
01:10:18,681 --> 01:10:20,808
A guy calling from Franklin.
923
01:10:21,283 --> 01:10:23,308
Hello? Yeah, that's right.
924
01:10:25,955 --> 01:10:27,149
You do, huh?
925
01:10:29,258 --> 01:10:31,590
- You've got what?
- What is it?
926
01:10:31,827 --> 01:10:35,456
- Just a minute.
- I have the other picture right before me!
927
01:10:35,864 --> 01:10:41,131
Yes, I married them July 19th, 1931,
over in Middlebury.
928
01:10:42,438 --> 01:10:44,702
A funny thing. What's that?
929
01:10:48,143 --> 01:10:49,872
Judge Elroy Hacker.
930
01:10:50,379 --> 01:10:52,404
We'll be there in two hours, Judge.
931
01:10:52,481 --> 01:10:54,244
Sit tight
and keep your mouth shut about this.
932
01:10:54,316 --> 01:10:55,374
Bye.
933
01:10:55,584 --> 01:10:59,247
Go on, get packed.
He's liable to drop dead on us or something.
934
01:11:55,110 --> 01:11:58,102
For a man who can sit there
and watch his success increasing daily,
935
01:11:58,180 --> 01:12:00,011
you're looking much too troubled, Mark.
936
01:12:00,082 --> 01:12:03,210
It's just that these minor problems
always seem to require major thinking.
937
01:12:03,285 --> 01:12:06,379
Well, perhaps we can balance
the unpleasant with the pleasant.
938
01:12:06,455 --> 01:12:09,390
That conversation we had the other day
about your buying company stock.
939
01:12:09,458 --> 01:12:10,823
- Yeah?
- I just thought I'd tell you,
940
01:12:10,893 --> 01:12:14,920
- I think we can swing that.
- That's fine, Mr. Madison, just great.
941
01:12:14,997 --> 01:12:17,659
Well, there doesn't seem to be any doubt
you'll reach that bonus figure.
942
01:12:17,733 --> 01:12:19,064
It'll be pleasant having you as a partner,
943
01:12:19,134 --> 01:12:20,863
- so to speak, in the paper, Mark.
- Thanks.
944
01:12:20,936 --> 01:12:22,801
- Good night.
- Good night.
945
01:14:17,953 --> 01:14:19,147
Sorry to keep you this late, Mark,
946
01:14:19,221 --> 01:14:21,621
but we got hit with a mess of traffic
on the way in.
947
01:14:21,690 --> 01:14:23,157
Your wire sounded important.
948
01:14:23,225 --> 01:14:26,456
I found that needle,
or rather the man with the needle.
949
01:14:26,528 --> 01:14:29,725
Judge Elroy Hacker,
Mark Chapman, Managing Editor.
950
01:14:29,865 --> 01:14:32,925
- Glad to meet you, Judge.
- How do, Mr. Chapman?
951
01:14:33,902 --> 01:14:35,893
- Sit down, Judge.
- Thanks.
952
01:14:36,772 --> 01:14:38,672
Does the judge's needle sew anything up?
953
01:14:38,740 --> 01:14:41,231
Everything but knotting the thread
at the end.
954
01:14:41,310 --> 01:14:42,937
I mean the noose.
955
01:14:44,046 --> 01:14:45,240
What have you got?
956
01:14:45,314 --> 01:14:48,511
The identity of Mrs. Lonely Heart
and her husband.
957
01:14:49,117 --> 01:14:51,711
Judge Hacker married them
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
958
01:14:51,787 --> 01:14:54,688
Their names are Charlotte and George Grant.
959
01:14:58,827 --> 01:14:59,953
Did you get that, Mark?
960
01:15:00,028 --> 01:15:03,327
The name of the Lonely Heart Killer
is George Grant.
961
01:15:03,699 --> 01:15:05,530
Yeah, I heard you. Go on.
962
01:15:05,601 --> 01:15:08,229
Strike two. The judge is sure
he can identify George Grant
963
01:15:08,303 --> 01:15:10,203
when he sees him again.
964
01:15:10,806 --> 01:15:13,969
You see, I took this picture myself.
965
01:15:14,710 --> 01:15:17,338
A little extra service
the judge gave his bridal couples.
966
01:15:17,412 --> 01:15:20,711
Yes. I'd send them a print
and put one in my own scrapbook.
967
01:15:20,782 --> 01:15:22,579
The judge even furnished
the "just married" sign.
968
01:15:22,651 --> 01:15:24,118
Judge, you said
you married them in Middlebury,
969
01:15:24,186 --> 01:15:27,883
- but Steve found you in Franklin.
- I retired seven years ago.
970
01:15:27,956 --> 01:15:31,323
I'm partial to fishing,
so I moved over on the coast.
971
01:15:32,027 --> 01:15:34,928
I only happened
to see your circular by chance,
972
01:15:34,997 --> 01:15:37,830
in the office of a justice friend of mine.
973
01:15:40,602 --> 01:15:43,571
I always said you were born
in a field of shamrocks.
974
01:15:43,639 --> 01:15:47,769
Sure. The McClearys raised their kids
on nothing but rabbits' feet.
975
01:15:48,410 --> 01:15:52,471
Judge, what makes you so sure
you can identify George Grant today?
976
01:15:54,383 --> 01:15:57,250
Well, mainly because right after
I took that wedding picture,
977
01:15:57,319 --> 01:16:00,482
this Grant got vexed at his wife
about something.
978
01:16:01,590 --> 01:16:05,651
I can remember his voice, snapping at her.
His face getting red...
979
01:16:07,696 --> 01:16:11,598
I know what's in your bonnet, Mark.
We still have to find George Grant.
980
01:16:11,667 --> 01:16:14,363
A needle's nothing but a hunk of steel
if you've got nothing to sew.
981
01:16:14,436 --> 01:16:15,801
We just need the thread.
982
01:16:15,871 --> 01:16:18,203
I figure we'll pick that up
right here in New York.
983
01:16:18,273 --> 01:16:21,367
When the police line up all the local
George Grants for the judge to look over.
984
01:16:23,745 --> 01:16:27,416
That's Julie. I dropped her off
at headquarters to tell Davis what we've got.
985
01:16:29,251 --> 01:16:32,618
Friend Davis is steaming
like a pressure cooker, as I said he would.
986
01:16:32,688 --> 01:16:33,746
He'll simmer down.
987
01:16:33,822 --> 01:16:36,484
So will your
lining up the George Grants idea.
988
01:16:36,558 --> 01:16:40,255
Davis says he'll do nothing until you turn
Judge Hacker over to the police.
989
01:16:40,329 --> 01:16:42,763
- Steve, you can't hold...
- Relax, doll. He'll see the judge later.
990
01:16:42,831 --> 01:16:44,924
Not tonight he won't.
The judge is our exclusive beat.
991
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,230
Nobody gets to him
till our story breaks tomorrow.
992
01:16:47,302 --> 01:16:49,031
I don't trust cops.
993
01:16:51,607 --> 01:16:52,904
You and Julie start writing the story.
994
01:16:52,975 --> 01:16:56,308
I'll put the judge in a side-street hotel
where nobody will get to him.
995
01:16:56,378 --> 01:16:57,902
Come on, Judge.
996
01:17:01,316 --> 01:17:03,648
I'll just wait for Mr. McCleary.
997
01:17:04,987 --> 01:17:06,921
He was going to put me up at his place.
998
01:17:06,989 --> 01:17:08,581
That's the first place
the wolves will start baying.
999
01:17:08,657 --> 01:17:10,921
You better come with me, Judge.
1000
01:17:10,993 --> 01:17:15,157
No, I don't think it would be wise
for me to go with you, Mr. Grant.
1001
01:17:15,731 --> 01:17:18,325
- Mister...
- Chapman, Judge. Not Grant.
1002
01:17:18,734 --> 01:17:21,294
You'd better give your brain a rest.
You're gonna need it.
1003
01:17:21,370 --> 01:17:22,735
He may be Chapman now,
1004
01:17:22,804 --> 01:17:27,104
but 21 years ago, when I married them,
he was George Grant.
1005
01:17:27,509 --> 01:17:29,534
And he was a newspaperman.
1006
01:17:30,379 --> 01:17:34,145
I remember now. He said he worked
on the paper over in Waterford.
1007
01:17:34,216 --> 01:17:37,549
Waterford, Connecticut, was that town
I couldn't think of.
1008
01:17:37,619 --> 01:17:40,110
But I knew I'd remember that voice.
1009
01:17:40,422 --> 01:17:44,586
His face... You've changed.
But it's the same man.
1010
01:17:45,060 --> 01:17:48,086
You remember that $5,000 reward, though,
don't you, Judge?
1011
01:17:48,163 --> 01:17:51,428
Judge. This is impossible.
You're getting confused.
1012
01:17:51,633 --> 01:17:54,864
He sounds to me as though
he knows exactly what he's saying.
1013
01:17:54,936 --> 01:17:57,837
This is idiotic!
Screwball, crackbrained lunacy!
1014
01:17:57,906 --> 01:18:01,364
And that's just the kind of a witness
the judge is going to make, too, Steve.
1015
01:18:01,443 --> 01:18:03,240
The police have that specimen
of hair and flesh
1016
01:18:03,311 --> 01:18:05,905
found under Mrs. Grant's fingernails.
1017
01:18:06,348 --> 01:18:09,283
I think we'd better get in touch with Davis.
1018
01:18:09,551 --> 01:18:11,212
No phone, Allison.
1019
01:18:21,797 --> 01:18:26,359
Julie pegged you right off.
But me, still wet behind the ears McCleary.
1020
01:18:27,235 --> 01:18:29,328
I went for the sleigh ride.
1021
01:18:29,971 --> 01:18:35,409
I practically built the pedestal for Chapman.
The great newspaperman. The great guy.
1022
01:18:36,778 --> 01:18:41,545
There ought to be a special Pulitzer Prize
for the world's biggest sucker, McCleary.
1023
01:18:41,616 --> 01:18:44,141
Just another one of your stupid slobs!
1024
01:18:44,219 --> 01:18:45,948
Things happen, Steve,
and then there's just no end.
1025
01:18:46,021 --> 01:18:47,921
Killing my wife was an accident.
1026
01:18:47,989 --> 01:18:51,823
And Charlie. Charlie Barnes,
who never hurt a fly in his life.
1027
01:18:52,294 --> 01:18:54,057
A washed-up drunken rummy
who had nothing to live for
1028
01:18:54,129 --> 01:18:55,790
against a career
that was just reaching its prime.
1029
01:18:55,864 --> 01:18:59,322
- It wasn't an even exchange.
- You've got a great career ahead of you now.
1030
01:18:59,401 --> 01:19:02,302
That's all down the drain.
I gotta to make different plans now.
1031
01:19:02,370 --> 01:19:04,736
You should have started running
when you got my wire, sucker!
1032
01:19:04,806 --> 01:19:06,501
I gambled.
The stakes are big enough, you don't run
1033
01:19:06,575 --> 01:19:10,443
unless there's nothing else left to do.
Don't try it, kid.
1034
01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:30,190
Steve!
1035
01:19:50,986 --> 01:19:53,011
We're just too close, kid.
1036
01:19:57,292 --> 01:20:02,059
I figured I'd find you birds here.
Still playing me for a pushover, aren't you?
1037
01:20:04,032 --> 01:20:06,227
Steve, you remember how I told you
1038
01:20:06,301 --> 01:20:09,464
that someday you'd run into
a really great story?
1039
01:20:09,905 --> 01:20:11,736
Well, this one ought to do it, huh?
1040
01:20:12,474 --> 01:20:14,374
Yeah, this one will do.
1041
01:20:14,976 --> 01:20:16,603
I'll give you the lead on it.
1042
01:20:17,846 --> 01:20:18,972
"The elusive Lonely Heart Killer,
1043
01:20:19,047 --> 01:20:20,708

1044
01:20:20,782 --> 01:20:23,774

of the <i>New York Express.</i>
1045
01:20:25,387 --> 01:20:27,321
"He was apprehended

1046
01:20:27,389 --> 01:20:30,449
"who learned his trade

1047
01:20:31,259 --> 01:20:32,920

01:20:32,994 --> 01:20:35,827
"Managing Editor of the <i>New York Express."</i>
1049
01:20:37,766 --> 01:20:42,601
- Write it up big, kid. It'll sell a lot of papers.
- All right, drop it, Chapman.

Mark Chapman, editor of the New York Express, has made the newspaper a success by pursuing sensationalism and yellow journalism. His protégé is ace reporter Steve McCleary, while successful feature writer Julie Allison is frustrated by the paper's drift towards raking the muck. One night, during a lonely hearts dance organized by the Express, Chapman's estranged wife confronts him and demands that he visit her hotel room. It is revealed that Chapman's real name is George Grant, and he abandoned his wife decades earlier, changing his identity. When Chapman rebuffs her efforts toward reconciliation, she threatens to publicize his real identity. Chapman tries to restrain her, accidentally killing her in the scuffle.
Chapman attempts to cover up his crime, posing the scene to look like an accident. The police initially believe she slipped in the bathtub, but McCleary begins covering the case, and his reporting reveals it was a murder. McCleary is eager to run the story, and Chapman must acquiesce to avoid suspicion. The "mystery" murderer is dubbed the "Lonely Hearts Killer." Charlie Barnes, an alcoholic former star reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner, stumbles upon the dead woman's suitcase, in which he finds wedding photographs showing Chapman (then Grant) and his wife. He realizes that Chapman must be the killer. Barnes contacts Allison, who has been kind to him, attempting to give her the scoop, but Chapman overhears the conversation. He intercepts and kills Barnes before he can reveal the truth to a rival publication. This act only increases public interest in the story of the Lonely Hearts Killer, much to Chapman's frustration.
Assisted by Allison, McCleary continues to track down clues and leads. Eventually he locates another photo from Chapman/Grant's wedding, although the groom is shot in profile and it is not obvious that it is Chapman. McCleary and Allison travel to Connecticut to find the judge who married the murdered woman and the man in the photograph. After a week of searching, they identify the judge who conducted the marriage. They bring him back to the newspaper building, where he identifies Chapman as the groom and thus the Lonely Hearts Killer. McCleary is incredulous, but Allison puts the pieces together and the desperate Chapman pulls a gun on them. The police arrive, and Chapman cannot bring himself to shoot McCleary. Instead, he gives McCleary his blessing to publish all details of his crimes and then commits suicide by cop.

1
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,468
I know how you feel, lady.
2
00:01:52,545 --> 00:01:54,445
Just take your time
and tell me what happened.
3
00:01:54,514 --> 00:01:57,915
He had this meat ax, her blood all over it.
4
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:03,187
My brother-in-law had it.
Blood all over his hands, all over his shirt.
5
00:02:03,389 --> 00:02:05,687
I can't talk about it, Officer.
6
00:02:05,859 --> 00:02:08,851
I know it's rough, lady,
but I have to have the facts.
7
00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:14,298
He comes staggering out in the hall.
He says, "I did it. Call the cops."
8
00:02:15,101 --> 00:02:16,125
And then he...
9
00:02:16,202 --> 00:02:19,467
Snap it up, Captain.
Lieutenant Davis just blew in.
10
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,303
What's he going to do, Officer?
11
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:25,003
- I'm not a cop, lady.
- But you said...
12
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:27,610
All I said was,
"I had to ask you some questions."
13
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,079
I'm from the <i>Express.</i>
14
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:33,984
You made me go through all that.
Why, you're not decent! You're not human!
15
00:02:34,754 --> 00:02:38,121
- Sorry, lady. All part of the job.
- Well, well, Lieutenant Davis.
16
00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:42,252
- Say, this must have been a homicide.
- Hi, Lieutenant. Wait till you hear it.
17
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:45,092
- A messy one.
- You keep pulling stuff like this, McCleary,
18
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:50,193
and so help me, if it's the last thing I do,
I'll run you in! Now, that's a warning!
19
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:18,591
This is KL-75263. Get me Plaza-52099.
20
00:03:19,532 --> 00:03:24,401
You know, that wasn't a bad-Iooking dame.
Too bad the guy used an ax on her head.
21
00:03:25,271 --> 00:03:27,796
Spoiled some pretty pictures for me.
22
00:03:28,908 --> 00:03:31,877
Hey, Mark, have you put on the gloves
with those stockholders yet?
23
00:03:32,178 --> 00:03:34,203
Hi. No, I'm just taping up my hands.
24
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,976
<i>Well, you can tell them we got</i>
<i>another neat and gory one coming up.</i>
25
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:39,177
<i>Hatchet murder. Lower East Side tenement.</i>
26
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:41,652
<i>Wrapped up an exclusive interview</i>
<i>with an eyewitness.</i>
27
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:43,211
You got plenty of art?
28
00:03:43,289 --> 00:03:45,052
Yeah. Biddle grabbed all he could
of the body.
29
00:03:45,124 --> 00:03:49,185
A dame, very messy.
Got a great hysterical close-up of her sister.
30
00:03:49,529 --> 00:03:52,828
I'll even write the caption for you.
"I seen him with a bloody meat ax."
31
00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:54,592
Good. With that, I can sell papers.
32
00:03:54,667 --> 00:03:57,295
Give it to rewrite and we'll get it in the final.
Hold on. What do you want?
33
00:03:57,370 --> 00:04:00,237
Mr. Madison called down
from the boardroom again, Mr. Chapman.
34
00:04:00,306 --> 00:04:02,831
You hear that?
I'm letting them stew in their financial juices.
35
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:05,067
Well, don't overdo it. I like this job.
36
00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:08,273
You've never gone backwards
with me before, have you, kid?
37
00:04:08,348 --> 00:04:13,217
If we leave here, we'll bounce into
a bigger setup. I'll see you when you get in.
38
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:21,417
As one of the largest stockholders
in this corporation,
39
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:24,463
I would like to know
why the <i>New York Express,</i>
40
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:27,465
once a distinguished
and respected newspaper,
41
00:04:29,869 --> 00:04:33,600
has been allowed to become
a cheap and depraved publication.
42
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:38,835
Why has an editor been allowed
to turn a decent journal into this?
43
00:04:39,679 --> 00:04:41,613
A disgusting tabloid!
44
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,749
Pandering to the passions
of the base morons!
45
00:04:45,151 --> 00:04:47,847
I demand an explanation, Frank Madison.
46
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:54,750
Well, Mrs. Rawley, I...
In defense of Mark Chapman, I...
47
00:04:54,827 --> 00:04:58,263
Mr. Madison, I'd like to handle
my own defense, if you don't mind.
48
00:04:58,331 --> 00:04:59,855
Just as you say, Mark.
49
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:05,428
Mrs. Rawley, I think you
and the other stockholders should know
50
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:07,496
that your publisher hired me
as executive editor
51
00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:09,837
with full rights to transform this newspaper.
52
00:05:10,677 --> 00:05:14,443
He did this for a very simple reason.
He was fed up with operating at a loss.
53
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:18,611
Why did Mr. Madison hire me?
Well, he felt it was time that the <i>Express</i>
54
00:05:18,685 --> 00:05:21,745
buried its antiquated negative approach,
such as this.
55
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:25,756
But who won?
56
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:29,920
And become a positive newspaper.
We're in a business, ladies and gentlemen,
57
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:34,695
a business of satisfying the hunger
of the public for thrills, escape and news.
58
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:39,271
Here's where I took over
your highly respectable white elephant.
59
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:42,172
Instead of headlining a UN story,
we gave them a vice story.
60
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:44,368
Obviously, they went for it.
61
00:05:44,544 --> 00:05:46,239
We played down
the presidential appointments
62
00:05:46,312 --> 00:05:48,644
and concentrated
on the "Gorilla Man" killings.
63
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:51,576
Here's what happened.
Thirty or forty thousand new readers.
64
00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:54,245
Why, in a year, circulation's up over 110%.
65
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,686
And when we reach 750,000,
66
00:05:56,756 --> 00:06:00,886
we'll have to pay you a big bonus.
I'm not sure I like this at all.
67
00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:02,761
Did you like the dividend check
you got last month
68
00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:04,194
for the first time in 12 years?
69
00:06:04,263 --> 00:06:07,323
I don't like this, sir.
What kind of journalism is this?
70
00:06:07,967 --> 00:06:10,026
A newspaper
staging a cheap, vulgar display
71
00:06:10,103 --> 00:06:13,266
in order to attract
the stupid slobs of the city!
72
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,865
The thousands who will attend
the Lonely Heart dance tonight,
73
00:06:15,942 --> 00:06:18,467
these poor, friendly, unhappy people
whom you call stupid slobs,
74
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:20,569
buy and read this newspaper.
75
00:06:20,646 --> 00:06:22,944
Their loyalty helped put that dividend check
in your pocket.
76
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:26,712
And I suppose you think it's a public service
when one of your reporters is arrested
77
00:06:26,786 --> 00:06:30,745
for withholding information from the police?
Or whatever it was.
78
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:34,150
This, what's his name, McCleary person,
79
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,352
and the things he writes about!
I think he should be fired!
80
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:39,295
This McCleary person
is the best young reporter I've seen
81
00:06:39,365 --> 00:06:41,060
in 25 years of newspapering.
82
00:06:41,134 --> 00:06:43,193
Before I'll fire him,
I'll throw the <i>Express</i> up for grabs
83
00:06:43,269 --> 00:06:45,669
and go to work for somebody
who appreciates real talent on a paper!
84
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:47,262
- Mark, I'm sure...
- One last thing.
85
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:50,798
The only contract I have here is a handshake
between Mr. Madison and myself.
86
00:06:50,877 --> 00:06:53,141
Now, unless you give me full rights
to run this paper the way I want,
87
00:06:53,212 --> 00:06:55,271
I'll quit after the final edition today.
88
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:58,784
Now, I'm sorry I can't stay with you
any longer. I have a newspaper to get out!
89
00:07:06,092 --> 00:07:10,426
- Your story ready, Miss Allison?
- I'll have the rest in a minute, Joey.
90
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:13,831
Mr. Chapman?
91
00:07:16,502 --> 00:07:17,696
Thanks.
92
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:26,937
McCleary story in yet, Bax?
93
00:07:32,485 --> 00:07:34,885
How'd you make out in the torture chamber?
94
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:40,450
This is good. Give it a big play.
Mac'll do a byline follow-up tomorrow.
95
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:43,825
- What are these?
- Pics for that Lonely Heart spread.
96
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:45,820
- Junk them.
- But I...
97
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:47,092
Take Peters off the Lonely Hearts.
98
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:48,997
He's photographing these slobs
like a lineup in a soup kitchen
99
00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:50,660
instead of panting for a red-hot romance.
100
00:07:50,736 --> 00:07:52,533
- Okay. But I...
- Yeah?
101
00:07:52,939 --> 00:07:54,566
Yes, Mr. Madison.
102
00:07:58,211 --> 00:08:00,611
- Get an ax, smear it with blood.
- Yeah? Whose?
103
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,171
Yours. If you can't spare any,
use chocolate syrup or something.
104
00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:07,652
Chocolate? Goody! When I'm through,
I can make a plate of fudge. Drop in.
105
00:08:08,721 --> 00:08:12,157
So, you still insist a woman having 20 kids
is worth a feature article?
106
00:08:12,225 --> 00:08:15,422
Hi, genius.
I think it's worth a whole front page.
107
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:18,391
It scares me, this maternal instinct of yours.
108
00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:20,955
Decided where you're taking me
to dinner tonight?
109
00:08:23,736 --> 00:08:25,966
If Chapman hasn't been canned,
110
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,169
you're going to dine with the worst loser
who ever paid off a bet.
111
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:31,608
Then you'd better stash some
bicarbonate soda in your bag, princess.
112
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:32,837
You're gonna need it.
113
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:35,437
Don't count your steaks
before you hear the sizzle.
114
00:08:37,617 --> 00:08:39,608
Well, what's the word? Are you ex or still?
115
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,880
They're not dumb enough
to throw out a winner.
116
00:08:41,954 --> 00:08:44,650
Congratulations. I knew you'd stick
their stocks right back in their teeth.
117
00:08:44,724 --> 00:08:46,555
I told them if they fired me,
McCleary would quit, too,
118
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:49,060
and then they'd be in real trouble.
119
00:08:49,128 --> 00:08:50,527
I wouldn't put it past them
to try and dump you
120
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:53,929
to get out of paying the bonus that's
staring them right in their glassy eyes.
121
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,331
I've got news for you.
122
00:08:55,401 --> 00:08:57,528
I'm going to cut you in
for a piece of that bonus.
123
00:08:57,603 --> 00:08:59,298
What do you want me to do, retire?
124
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:00,566
I thought we could make a deal with Madison
125
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,698
to buy some of the company's stock.
126
00:09:01,774 --> 00:09:03,901
You know, kid,
we could end up owning this newspaper.
127
00:09:03,976 --> 00:09:06,536
- Well, that's the best offer I've had all week.
- I'll make you another one.
128
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:09,080
I'll take you to dinner tonight.
You pick the spot.
129
00:09:10,349 --> 00:09:14,012
I'll make you a better offer.
My date's buying. She lost a bet.
130
00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:17,544
The Grand Duchess from Vassar again?
The way I feel, I can put up with anything.
131
00:09:17,623 --> 00:09:19,818
- I'm more worried, can she put up with you?
- Get her ready.
132
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:24,124
We've got to be at the ballroom at 8:00.
There's no time for nose powder.
133
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:32,597
Don't break your ears with that grin.
I can see. He's still in.
134
00:09:33,005 --> 00:09:36,532
- No loud whoops of joy, baby?
- Well, I tried everything.
135
00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:39,770
I crossed my fingers,
said prayers, burned candles.
136
00:09:39,845 --> 00:09:43,713
- Who's your tailor, princess?
- Let's get out of here.
137
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,075
I've had to look at that Chapman face all day.
138
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:50,714
I've got to cover his fiasco tonight
and suffer some more.
139
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:53,987
At least just looking at you for an hour
will be a welcome change.
140
00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:57,496
- Lf you're taking me to dinner, let's go.
- Taking him?
141
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,195
Wait a minute.
Our bet was between you and me.
142
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:03,463
Our bet was loser buys dinner.
We didn't say for how many.
143
00:10:03,536 --> 00:10:06,994
- Why, you double-crossing...
- I knew you'd be a good loser.
144
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:10,807
Someday remind me to tell you about girls.
145
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:20,248
You talk a couple of these suckers
into getting married.
146
00:10:20,319 --> 00:10:21,581
These Lonely Heart slobs got the gimmies,
147
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:23,519
and we've got plenty to give them
from the advertisers.
148
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:25,284
If you talk one couple
into getting married by 9:00,
149
00:10:25,358 --> 00:10:27,883
by 12:00 we'll have a dozen lined up
for wedded bliss.
150
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,155
- McCleary, the Brooklyn cupid.
- McCleary, the human yes man.
151
00:10:30,229 --> 00:10:31,594
Hey, Julie!
152
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:34,155
- Hello, Charlie.
- Charlie.
153
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:38,225
- How are you, Barnes?
- Fine, Mark. You're looking fit. McCleary.
154
00:10:38,571 --> 00:10:39,595
Thank you.
155
00:10:39,672 --> 00:10:41,799
What goes on? Are you ghosting
Allison's features, Charlie?
156
00:10:41,874 --> 00:10:43,774
No, he's helping me with research
for that series
157
00:10:43,843 --> 00:10:45,640
on historical monuments in New York.
158
00:10:45,711 --> 00:10:47,872
You couldn't pick a better man.
I ought to know.
159
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:50,006
Remember those old days, Mark?
160
00:10:50,082 --> 00:10:53,813
Like the time I cut the phone cables
at the Lindbergh trial?
161
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:55,520
You scooped me. Almost cost me my job.
162
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:59,957
Scooped you, the wire services,
scooped everybody. That was the year...
163
00:11:00,026 --> 00:11:02,358
That was the year you won the Pulitzer Prize.
164
00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:06,826
Listen, Mark.
This stuff I've been doing for Julie, it's...
165
00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:13,200
- Mark, I think I'm ready to go back to work.
- That's fine. I'm glad to hear it, Charlie.
166
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,164
How about it, Mark? How about a job?
167
00:11:19,645 --> 00:11:21,510
- Why not?
- Thanks.
168
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:25,447
- Charlie, I'm so proud of you!
- This is gonna take a little juggling.
169
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:26,849
I won't be able to do anything right away.
170
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:28,978
Look, Charlie, I'll call you.
We're late, we gotta rush.
171
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:31,785
Sure, Mark, I know how it is,
always on the go.
172
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:35,258
- Coffee in the morning? Skinners?
- Sure thing, Julie.
173
00:11:40,199 --> 00:11:41,257
All the time I thought you were a...
174
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:43,699
- How much did you give him?
- $10. He earned it.
175
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:44,929
Ten bucks?
176
00:11:45,004 --> 00:11:47,336
- Buy a lot of whiskey.
- Did you see that rum-dumb?
177
00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:49,806
- Come midnight, he'll be in the gutter.
- Now, wait a minute.
178
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:51,274
He's an alky, Julie.
You shouldn't give an alky
179
00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:52,367
more than a buck at a time.
180
00:11:52,445 --> 00:11:55,414
You're liable to kill him.
Ten bucks, he can take a bath in it.
181
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:58,314
But... Well, this job
will change everything for him.
182
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:01,319
Job? I wouldn't have him in my office,
let alone on my staff.
183
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:04,117
In you go, sucker. Where are you going?
184
00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:07,085
I'm not going to let him go off believing this.
185
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:10,617
- Do you want to break his heart?
- Do I? What do you think you're doing?
186
00:12:10,696 --> 00:12:13,358
I'm giving him hopes and dreams.
A rummy like that lives on dreams.
187
00:12:13,432 --> 00:12:17,061
- He's happy. Why spoil it?
- Happy? Happy like your Lonely Hearts,
188
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,798
looking forward to those big romances
they've been promised?
189
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:23,069
- Only Charlie's romance is with a bottle.
- Get in.
190
00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:48,057
Biddle, don't leave that camera at half mast.
Stop goldbricking on the other guys.
191
00:12:48,134 --> 00:12:52,127
I must have got 100 shots already,
Mr. Chapman. My arm's giving out.
192
00:12:52,204 --> 00:12:56,334
You've only started. I want shots of people
from every state. Now start shooting.
193
00:12:58,911 --> 00:13:01,038
How are you doing, princess?
194
00:13:01,147 --> 00:13:04,116
Well, it's an effort,
but I'm trying to keep from screaming.
195
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:06,981
You were a real bundle of laughs
during dinner, too.
196
00:13:07,052 --> 00:13:08,781
Why don't you simmer down now?
197
00:13:08,854 --> 00:13:10,515
You're not so pretty
when your feathers are all ruffled.
198
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:13,183
Don't, Steve. I'm in no mood for levity.
199
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:17,491
- Do you feel like dancing?
- Do you figure that'll smooth my feathers?
200
00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:21,691
I've got a great idea for you. Grab yourself
one of these Lonely Heart boys.
201
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:25,066
Tell him you're a club date. Con him.
Get his life history.
202
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:28,903
- And there's your feature for tomorrow.
- Mark Chapman, Junior.
203
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:31,568
It'll sell papers, you left that out.
204
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:34,871
Happy hunting, cupid.
Mustn't let the boss down.
205
00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:38,312
Save at least one dance for me, princess.
206
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:58,034
Every time I aim my lens
at one of these walking zombies,
207
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:01,334
I think of the time
I covered the Miss America contest.
208
00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:03,705
The tears almost start to flow.
209
00:14:06,378 --> 00:14:09,370
From McCleary, you get nothing but service.
Ten minutes before 9:00,
210
00:14:09,448 --> 00:14:13,179
and couple number one. Mary and Joe
met in front of the Arkansas booth.
211
00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:16,221
It was love at first sight, almost. Right?
212
00:14:16,288 --> 00:14:20,349
Well, sure. I'm from Texas,
but I sure love that Arkansas cooking.
213
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,890
- You love her, don't you?
- Well, sure, I reckon so.
214
00:14:23,963 --> 00:14:26,158
- Mary, you love him?
- Yes.
215
00:14:26,966 --> 00:14:31,130
- See, they're crazy about each other.
- Yeah, that's fine. Hey, Edwards.
216
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:33,535
We've got a romance going here.
They're ready for the orange blossoms.
217
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,837
- Well, how do you do? And congratulations.
- Save the teeth for the bandstand.
218
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:38,171
Get up there
and make the big announcement.
219
00:14:38,244 --> 00:14:42,044
Yes, sir, Mr. Chapman.
Come with me, you lucky, lucky people.
220
00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:46,842
Hey, you ain't gonna forget about the bed
with the built-in television set?
221
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:48,614
You'll spend your honeymoon in front of it.
222
00:14:51,624 --> 00:14:55,321
- Nice going, Steve, keep punching.
- I'll get the camera boys up to cover it.
223
00:14:57,129 --> 00:15:01,862
- Did you find a feature to write about yet?
- I haven't, and I don't intend to.
224
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:05,435
This bribing of poor, ignorant dopes
into a public wedding
225
00:15:05,504 --> 00:15:07,665
is cheap, cruel and disgusting.
226
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:10,573
This whole Wild West show is ridiculous,
and I want no part of it.
227
00:15:10,643 --> 00:15:13,305
Miss Allison,
your contract has six months to run.
228
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:17,281
My contract was made with Mr. Madison
before you took over the <i>Express.</i>
229
00:15:17,349 --> 00:15:18,543
If you don't like the way I run the paper,
230
00:15:18,617 --> 00:15:21,245
I have an agreement
that might be satisfactory to both of us.
231
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,811
Take six months' vacation with pay!
232
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:30,286
No, thank you, Mr. Chapman. I'll work it out.
I like my feature writing.
233
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,898
Thinking people like it, too,
234
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:37,561
even though there aren't many of them
buying the <i>Express</i> anymore. Good night!
235
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:43,605
That's it.
236
00:15:50,382 --> 00:15:53,613
<i>Friends, brothers and sisters</i>
<i>in the Lonely Hearts Club.</i>
237
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:55,677
<i>I have wonderful news for you,</i>
238
00:15:55,754 --> 00:15:59,747
<i>living proof that this magnificent club</i>
<i>is more than just a name.</i>
239
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:04,386
<i>But first, how would you like to meet</i>
<i>the great man who created your club?</i>
240
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:11,998
<i>Mr. Mark Chapman,</i>
<i>editor of the</i> New York Express.
241
00:16:12,071 --> 00:16:14,665
<i>Put the spotlight on him, over there!</i>
242
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,782
<i>Now here's the wonderful news.</i>
243
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:37,056
<i>Meet Mary and Joe, two happy people</i>
<i>who came here tonight as total strangers.</i>
244
00:16:37,463 --> 00:16:42,400
<i>They met, they danced, they found love.</i>
<i>They're going to get married!</i>
245
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,474
George?
246
00:16:57,516 --> 00:17:00,041
<i>- As the first couple who fell in love tonight...</i>
- George Grant!
247
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:01,814
<i>...Mary and Joe will receive...</i>
- It is you!
248
00:17:01,887 --> 00:17:03,752
<i>...compliments of the</i> Express...
- Charlotte.
249
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:05,119
<i>... a wedding night in a New York hotel...</i>
250
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:08,921
Finding you here...
I was so sure that you must be dead.
251
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:11,759
George Grant is dead.
252
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:14,259
Yes, I just heard.
253
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,134
- You're the...
- We can't talk here.
254
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:19,901
We can talk at my place, George.
255
00:17:20,806 --> 00:17:23,036
We've got a lot to talk about.
256
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:26,509
Go on out. I'll meet you at the side entrance.
257
00:17:32,785 --> 00:17:35,151
The years have been kinder to you.
258
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:38,621
What is it, 19, 20?
I used to keep track, but I don't...
259
00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:41,716
What's the difference?
Now that you found me, what do you want?
260
00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:57,401
May I?
261
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:07,375
- Come on, quit stalling around.
- What was it they called you at the ball?
262
00:18:07,453 --> 00:18:08,977
- Mark?
- Chapman.
263
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:15,755
When did you change your name, George?
Right after you left me?
264
00:18:17,062 --> 00:18:18,962
So I wouldn't find you?
265
00:18:19,631 --> 00:18:21,292
You knew I was so crazy about you
266
00:18:21,366 --> 00:18:24,028
I'd look and look and look,
didn't you, George?
267
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,697
Come on, get to it. What do you want?
268
00:18:27,739 --> 00:18:32,574
You're still in a hurry, aren't you?
That's the thing I remember best about you.
269
00:18:32,878 --> 00:18:37,645
The fellow who always ran and never walked.
Had to get places fast!
270
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,749
And you got places, didn't you, George?
271
00:18:44,323 --> 00:18:46,883
Here, you need some money?
Here's some for now.
272
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,860
Money? The payoff, George?
273
00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:54,497
How much? How much for each year?
274
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:58,633
How much for the agony
and the heartbreak and the fear?
275
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:03,141
- Charlotte, cut the ham act.
- This could be for the doctor bill, see?
276
00:19:06,578 --> 00:19:10,173
I was 20 years younger then,
took things more seriously.
277
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:14,142
I can't imagine how much.
278
00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:18,087
You're boring me now, like you always did.
279
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:20,388
People always bored you
280
00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:23,155
when you didn't have
any more use for them, didn't they, George?
281
00:19:23,228 --> 00:19:25,025
Bores and nuisances, I get rid of them.
282
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:27,497
Yeah, the same gentle way
you got rid of me.
283
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:28,692
My lawyer will get in touch with you.
284
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:31,702
He'll arrange a quiet divorce
and generous alimony.
285
00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:34,671
You're an important man now,
aren't you, George?
286
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:37,038
Editor of the <i>New York Express.</i>
287
00:19:38,977 --> 00:19:43,346
I never thought I'd be the wife of the editor
of a big New York newspaper.
288
00:19:43,415 --> 00:19:47,112
You're not, and don't get any ideas
about forcing yourself.
289
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:51,020
You've got nothing to gain by refusing me
a divorce now like you did 20 years ago.
290
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:56,759
I was young then and so foolishly in love.
I wanted so much to hold onto you.
291
00:19:57,496 --> 00:20:00,021
I made all of my mistakes when I was young,
and you were the biggest one.
292
00:20:00,098 --> 00:20:02,794
I fell for an attractive hunk of flesh.
293
00:20:04,169 --> 00:20:07,627
"Hold me." You didn't try to hang on.
You strangled me.
294
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,936
I'd smother to death with you.
295
00:20:15,747 --> 00:20:19,808
Turnabout's fair play.
When you walked out on me, I died inside.
296
00:20:20,352 --> 00:20:23,116
When I walk out of here, you're gonna die.
297
00:20:23,188 --> 00:20:27,852
Everything you worked for, grabbed for,
ruined people to get, it's all gonna die!
298
00:20:27,926 --> 00:20:29,393
You're a neurotic screwball!
299
00:20:29,461 --> 00:20:33,955
I'm gonna spread your story all over town.
Mark Chapman, the great editor!
300
00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:37,829
Wife deserter!
Living under a false name for 20 years.
301
00:20:39,137 --> 00:20:42,334
What else did you cover up
living under a phony name?
302
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:44,637
Your publishers are gonna love this.
303
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:49,044
And the other papers, they'll cut you
to ribbons with this information!
304
00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,470
Hi, honey, let me have the city room.
305
00:23:33,812 --> 00:23:37,179
This is Elkins.
If you need me, I'm over in Skinners.
306
00:23:38,316 --> 00:23:41,808
What? Having breakfast. Yeah, breakfast.
307
00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:53,323
Yes, Julie, after that fortunate
and historical meeting with Mark yesterday,
308
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:57,629
I had considerable difficulty
wooing the fickle Morpheus.
309
00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:01,939
That explains it.
Those bleeding eyes today.
310
00:24:02,474 --> 00:24:05,341
Well, I did have a couple
with the boys down below.
311
00:24:05,410 --> 00:24:08,277
A sort of celebration, and then farewell.
312
00:24:11,049 --> 00:24:13,574
You should have left them long ago, Charlie.
313
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:15,916
Any man who was big enough
in his day to rate that,
314
00:24:16,555 --> 00:24:20,389
a place in Skinner's Hall of Fame,
is still too big for Dead-End Street.
315
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:25,028
No regrets, Julie. My temporary alliance
with the denizens of the Bowery
316
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:29,863
has provided me with a deeper insight
into the whys and wherefores of mankind.
317
00:24:35,674 --> 00:24:38,006
A proven medical fact,
when the human system
318
00:24:38,076 --> 00:24:40,840
has been lengthily nurtured
on alcoholic stimulants,
319
00:24:40,912 --> 00:24:44,871
any abrupt cessation of same
will result in a negative reaction.
320
00:24:45,016 --> 00:24:46,381
Absolutely.
321
00:24:47,652 --> 00:24:52,385
But I'm tapering off. I'll be a firmly-rooted
passenger on the old water wagon
322
00:24:52,524 --> 00:24:54,856
by the time Mark's ready for me.
323
00:24:57,295 --> 00:25:01,561
Charlie, don't bet everything
on Mark Chapman.
324
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:06,666
He won't let me down.
First time I felt ready, I asked him for a job,
325
00:25:06,938 --> 00:25:10,032
and what happened?
He offered me one, didn't he?
326
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:15,173
- Mr. Lonely Heart.
- Compliments of the <i>Express,</i> Myrtle.
327
00:25:15,747 --> 00:25:18,545
- I see you read. You stick with the radio.
- Yeah.
328
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:20,744
Hey, McCleary,
I read that rag of yours by accident.
329
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:23,287
Yeah, me, too.
From ax murder to Ionely hearts.
330
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:25,653
What are you trying to prove,
you're versatile or something?
331
00:25:25,724 --> 00:25:27,885
What are you gentlemen
reading our rag for?
332
00:25:27,959 --> 00:25:30,427
Trying to find out
what's happening that's news?
333
00:25:30,495 --> 00:25:32,929
Good morning, kiddies. What's the word?
334
00:25:35,066 --> 00:25:36,624
Silly, that's the word.
335
00:25:36,701 --> 00:25:38,635
Still a heaping bunch of joy,
aren't you, princess?
336
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:43,663
Lonely Hearts Ball. Journalism has certainly
changed since the old days.
337
00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:47,302
What happened to you last night?
Pulled a fast fade on me.
338
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:50,712
- Don't tell me you actually missed me?
- I needed protection.
339
00:25:50,782 --> 00:25:53,250
Some of our love-hungry subscribers
got mixed up.
340
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:56,014
They were offering me deep-freezes
and vacuum cleaners.
341
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:59,318
- I'm surprised you refused.
- How do you know I did?
342
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:02,849
Certainly heavy coverage
on the unrequited passion set.
343
00:26:03,261 --> 00:26:06,924
Our love and romance edition, Charlie.
Even the crossword puzzle.
344
00:26:06,998 --> 00:26:08,966
But nothing from the Allison corner.
345
00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:12,335
Not interested in romance, Julie?
346
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:16,465
Not the kind that blossoms
on free gas stoves and television sets.
347
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:21,235
- About that Lonely Heart gag, I've got a...
- Steve, on the radio.
348
00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:27,652
- Julie. Hi, Charlie.
- Hi, Biddle.
349
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:31,086
Police call. Dead dame in a flat
on Third Avenue. Are you interested?
350
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:33,090
Well, she'd probably be a cheerful change.
351
00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:36,685
I'm still getting the icebox treatment
from the female on my left.
352
00:26:36,761 --> 00:26:40,162
After them scarecrows I shot last night,
I figure my luck's gotta change.
353
00:26:40,231 --> 00:26:43,428
Even dead, this dame's bound
to have more glamour.
354
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:45,467
Let's give her a look.
355
00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:48,801
Thanks for the coffee, kitten.
356
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:03,785
Another scarecrow. I'm batting goose eggs.
357
00:27:05,323 --> 00:27:07,848
Dames have got to make trouble
even when they die, don't they, pal?
358
00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:11,384
Yeah, water downstairs and water upstairs.
359
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:14,531
Probably wanted a room
with a swimming pool.
360
00:27:14,966 --> 00:27:16,866
Hey, Davis, what are you doing here?
361
00:27:16,935 --> 00:27:21,031
I just wanted to see if I couldn't get
to one of our calls before you did.
362
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:22,471
This isn't a homicide?
363
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:24,531
We got a new man
on the beat here, McCleary.
364
00:27:24,609 --> 00:27:26,167
He's built like you between the ears.
365
00:27:26,244 --> 00:27:29,975
He saw a hole in the back of the dame's head
and figured she was slugged.
366
00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:31,515
What's your guess, Lieutenant?
367
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:33,949
She put the hole
in the back of her head herself?
368
00:27:34,019 --> 00:27:36,783
Yeah, wise-eyes, that's it. That's it exactly.
369
00:27:36,855 --> 00:27:40,291
She slipped in the tub
and opened her skull on a faucet.
370
00:27:40,358 --> 00:27:43,953
- What was the lady's name, Sherlock?
- The landlady says Jane Jones.
371
00:27:44,029 --> 00:27:45,360
- Do you believe it?
- Yeah, I believe it.
372
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:47,762
I'm fresh out of nursery school.
373
00:27:48,466 --> 00:27:52,402
Jane Jones, alias Jane Doe.
Say, Dave, you're really humming.
374
00:27:53,204 --> 00:27:56,401
Look, nuisance, if you so much as make
these bedsprings squeak once again,
375
00:27:56,474 --> 00:28:00,308
- I'll throw you in the tub with the dame.
- Lieutenant, please.
376
00:28:04,616 --> 00:28:08,177
You're wrong, Dave.
She was murdered. Clear as your head.
377
00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:10,347
Murdered for her money.
378
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:13,949
Why, this lady must have spent easily
six or seven dollars a year on clothes.
379
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:15,492
Why don't you go home, McCleary?
380
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,462
There's nothing around here
to interest a big newsman like you.
381
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:27,827
Look, junior, keep your nose
in your own business, or I'll run you in
382
00:28:27,906 --> 00:28:31,137
- for obstruction, suspicion and vagrancy.
- Why, sure, Dave.
383
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:33,837
I just thought there might be something
in here to help identify her.
384
00:28:33,912 --> 00:28:35,243
No suitcase, huh?
385
00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:41,715
- In there, boys.
- Okay, Steve, I got all I need.
386
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:46,957
Thanks, Dave.
387
00:28:49,127 --> 00:28:52,062
- No, not you two again.
- What do you guys do,
388
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:54,758
smell these things
before the police call is even in?
389
00:28:54,833 --> 00:28:57,301
Try to forget your mugs.
There's a lady in the bathroom.
390
00:28:57,368 --> 00:29:00,531
- Yes, so knock before entering.
- Coming through.
391
00:29:10,381 --> 00:29:12,406
- What'd you pinch that for?
- Look familiar?
392
00:29:12,484 --> 00:29:15,544
I had them in front of me all night, didn't I?
393
00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:18,747
Hey, that's off a Lonely Hearts badge!
394
00:29:18,823 --> 00:29:22,554
Yeah. How many pictures
did you and the boys take at the ball?
395
00:29:22,627 --> 00:29:24,925
Three, maybe four hundred. I don't know.
396
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:27,260
Rush the print of Miss Bathtub
through the lab.
397
00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:28,594
Then check it against the others.
398
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:30,964
- See if you can match them up, okay?
- Sure.
399
00:29:31,035 --> 00:29:34,937
- Shouldn't take more than a week.
- Yeah, but I want it done in an hour.
400
00:29:35,006 --> 00:29:36,701
- I'll see you at the office.
- Where are you going?
401
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:39,903
I'm gonna hitch a ride to the morgue.
If you match them, call me.
402
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,674
How about a ride to the morgue, Pete?
403
00:30:04,969 --> 00:30:07,096
Hey, Needle Nellie, anybody home?
404
00:30:07,172 --> 00:30:08,662
Hey, handsome.
405
00:30:09,007 --> 00:30:11,271
- How you doing, sweetheart?
- Doing all right, handsome.
406
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:13,037
Come here and give us a kiss.
407
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,815
- How's business at the morgue, Nellie?
- Dead.
408
00:30:19,551 --> 00:30:21,178
Business is dead.
409
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:25,621
- It's good to see you, handsome.
- Likewise, sweetheart.
410
00:30:25,690 --> 00:30:27,385
A long time between dates.
411
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:30,621
But right now,
I come seeking your expert female advice.
412
00:30:30,695 --> 00:30:34,131
Anybody that's lived as long as me
can give it. Shoot.
413
00:30:34,732 --> 00:30:37,565
Nellie, if you had just one dress
to your name
414
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:39,535
and you'd fastened something onto it
with a safety pin,
415
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:40,969
and maybe you were in a hurry,
416
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,008
would you take time to undo the pin,
or would you rip the whole thing off?
417
00:30:44,075 --> 00:30:46,305
- This is a riddle?
- No, seriously.
418
00:30:46,377 --> 00:30:51,041
Well, if I had 10 dresses and the house
was burning down, I'd still undo the pin.
419
00:30:51,115 --> 00:30:52,639
Any lady would.
420
00:30:53,017 --> 00:30:55,485
That's what I figured.
I just wanted a woman to confirm it.
421
00:30:55,553 --> 00:30:57,453
I love you, Nellie. I love you.
422
00:30:57,522 --> 00:31:00,047
- Where you going, handsome?
- I gotta see the doc.
423
00:31:00,124 --> 00:31:01,955
Maybe I can get you some business, Nellie.
424
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:11,364
Did you get those ringside ducats
I sent you?
425
00:31:11,436 --> 00:31:13,427
Steve! Yeah, it was a great fight.
426
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:15,438
Mishke really tore that Haybelly apart,
didn't he?
427
00:31:15,506 --> 00:31:19,840
Had so much blood spattered on my glasses,
I missed the knockout punch.
428
00:31:20,478 --> 00:31:24,175
Look, Doc,
they just brought in an accidental death.
429
00:31:24,249 --> 00:31:27,047
- They're putting her in the freezer right now.
- So?
430
00:31:27,118 --> 00:31:30,110
So, I'd like you to give her
the onceover for me. An autopsy.
431
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:33,646
Accidents are out of my province.
You know that, Steve.
432
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:35,383
It's going to be
a great World Series this year.
433
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:37,087
Yeah, that it is.
434
00:31:37,528 --> 00:31:41,362
I don't suppose you'd be interested
in viewing the festivities from a box seat?
435
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:47,132
Are you trying to bribe a city official?
436
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:51,135
Right behind first base, Doc.
437
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:11,028
Yeah. Yeah, get some prints ready.
I think we've got our front page.
438
00:32:11,095 --> 00:32:14,792
Well, this is your lucky day. Drop back,
I want you to mark my racing form.
439
00:32:14,866 --> 00:32:16,766
Get the door, will you?
440
00:32:17,368 --> 00:32:20,064
Yeah, and don't forget, I smoke cigars.
441
00:32:20,838 --> 00:32:24,831
- Hey, Steve, let me wipe those off a little.
- Wipe them tomorrow.
442
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:32,008
Will you smile again
if I take you to dinner tonight?
443
00:32:32,083 --> 00:32:34,847
- A little celebration coming up.
- What's the celebration?
444
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:37,649
Another McCleary scoop.
Getting monotonous, isn't it?
445
00:32:37,722 --> 00:32:42,557
That dinner. A two-party celebration,
or are you bringing a friend?
446
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:44,559
Just you and me alone.
447
00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:47,825
I'll smile again.
What are the fragile treasures?
448
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:52,060
Very rare items.
Pictures of a dame with her mouth shut.
449
00:32:53,071 --> 00:32:55,972
- Joey, catch the door, will you?
- All right.
450
00:32:58,676 --> 00:33:01,270
I've been waiting a long time
for a chance to say this.
451
00:33:01,346 --> 00:33:03,439
- Stop the presses!
- Did you get a morning-after story
452
00:33:03,514 --> 00:33:05,004
on any of those couples
we married last night?
453
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:07,483
I got a story from one
of the Lonely Heart Ball guests, all right.
454
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:11,079
But she didn't get married last night.
She got murdered!
455
00:33:19,964 --> 00:33:23,263
- Who is she?
- A Jane Doe. Nobody knows her real name.
456
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:25,996
The police think she slipped in the bathtub
and bashed her head in,
457
00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:30,507
- or they did until a little while ago.
- But you knew better all the time?
458
00:33:30,575 --> 00:33:32,941
After Doc O'Hanlon got through
cutting her up for me.
459
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:36,538
She died between 9:00 and 12:00 last night,
before she went under in the tub.
460
00:33:36,614 --> 00:33:38,479
No water in her lungs.
461
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:40,283
Did he find anything else?
462
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:44,788
Yeah, her killer was a man, middle-aged,
fair complexion. Had brown hair.
463
00:33:45,390 --> 00:33:47,620
O'Hanlon found that
in scraping under her fingernails.
464
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:50,593
You ran into this
just by playing a hunch, huh?
465
00:33:50,661 --> 00:33:53,858
A string from a Lonely Heart badge
was on her dress in the closet.
466
00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:57,628
The badge had been torn off.
I followed through from there.
467
00:34:00,371 --> 00:34:04,364
Well, is this a story,
this Lonely Heart murdered after the ball?
468
00:34:04,575 --> 00:34:06,805
Can you sell papers with this?
469
00:34:10,248 --> 00:34:13,342
Baxter, Jordan, Allison,
get in here right away.
470
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:15,477
They didn't know her name, you said?
471
00:34:15,553 --> 00:34:18,920
Well, she called herself Jane Jones.
How phony can you get?
472
00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:20,014
We've just been struck by lightning.
473
00:34:20,091 --> 00:34:22,025
It's a great follow-up
for the Lonely Hearts Ball.
474
00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:24,118
Tell them about it, Steve.
475
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:30,997
We'll call her Miss Lonely Heart,
no other name. Alone in the city, friendless.
476
00:34:31,536 --> 00:34:34,801
She went to our shindig last night,
hunting for a soul mate.
477
00:34:34,872 --> 00:34:37,363
Maybe she found one, the wrong one.
478
00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:39,872
Anyway, she left early,
and sometime before midnight
479
00:34:39,944 --> 00:34:41,343
she was beaten to death in her room
480
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:44,540
by a brown-haired, middle-aged man
of fair complexion.
481
00:34:44,615 --> 00:34:46,480
A smash follow-up is right.
482
00:34:46,551 --> 00:34:49,247
The killer had a head full of brains.
Good nerves.
483
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,723
He lugged her to the bathroom,
stripped her, tossed the body in the tub.
484
00:34:54,459 --> 00:34:58,520
No. No, he stood the body in the tub.
Aimed, let go!
485
00:34:58,696 --> 00:35:03,190
Bang, her head cracks the faucet.
Almost perfect crime. Ordinary accident.
486
00:35:04,035 --> 00:35:06,936
He's working smartly,
a guy with imagination.
487
00:35:07,004 --> 00:35:10,963
He takes her slip, stockings,
washes them, hangs them up to dry.
488
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,000
He wipes his prints off everywhere.
489
00:35:13,077 --> 00:35:16,274
He starts getting rid of anything
that could identify her.
490
00:35:16,347 --> 00:35:18,907
He took a ring off her,
probably a wedding or engagement ring.
491
00:35:18,983 --> 00:35:22,111
- How do you know that?
- Whitish circle, third finger, left hand.
492
00:35:22,186 --> 00:35:25,587
- O'Hanlon spotted it at the morgue.
- All right, go on, go on.
493
00:35:25,656 --> 00:35:27,954
Well, he grabs any other personal items
that might identify her
494
00:35:28,025 --> 00:35:29,856
and throws them in her suitcase and blows.
495
00:35:29,927 --> 00:35:32,361
- How do you know she's got a suitcase?
- Every dame's got a suitcase.
496
00:35:32,430 --> 00:35:34,022
But there wasn't one
in Miss Lonely Heart's room.
497
00:35:34,098 --> 00:35:35,861
This'll kick up the circulation.
498
00:35:36,701 --> 00:35:40,137
We can make the 5:00 edition exclusive.
Steve can do the lead story.
499
00:35:40,204 --> 00:35:42,263
Jordan, I want three column cuts
of the dame's picture at the ball
500
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:44,433
and the murder photo.
Allison, write me a sob story,
501
00:35:44,509 --> 00:35:46,568
"Miss Lonely Heart
won't be Ionely anymore."
502
00:35:46,644 --> 00:35:47,736
Fine job, Steve.
503
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,303
Sure, it's a great job,
but we're gonna top it.
504
00:35:50,381 --> 00:35:51,439
How?
505
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,513
- Bury her.
- Bury her?
506
00:35:57,555 --> 00:35:59,682
The best story I ever dug up, and he tops it.
507
00:35:59,757 --> 00:36:02,157
By 5:00 tonight, Miss Lonely Heart
will be selling newspapers for us
508
00:36:02,226 --> 00:36:05,923
on every street corner in Manhattan.
Now, go on, get going.
509
00:37:42,126 --> 00:37:43,787
Be seeing you, Humpty.
510
00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:31,269
Look, I've shown you everything in the shop.
That's the last one I've got!
511
00:38:35,513 --> 00:38:36,605
Mark!
512
00:38:39,283 --> 00:38:41,217
- Mark, old boy!
- How are you, Charlie.
513
00:38:41,285 --> 00:38:45,085
What distasteful mission brings you to this
unholy neighborhood, Mark, my friend?
514
00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:46,589
I'm just looking around.
I like to keep my hand in,
515
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,124
even though I am strapped
to a desk right now.
516
00:38:48,192 --> 00:38:50,126
You wouldn't mean you're keeping
your hand in by working
517
00:38:50,194 --> 00:38:51,821
on this Lonely Heart murder,
would you, now, Mark?
518
00:38:51,896 --> 00:38:53,955
I've got a staff to take care of that for me.
519
00:38:54,031 --> 00:38:56,727
You can't kid an old newshound
like me, Mark.
520
00:38:56,801 --> 00:39:00,999
Still following our old formula,
first check the hock shops for a clue?
521
00:39:01,072 --> 00:39:03,336
Didn't wanna tip your hand
to those cops in there, did you?
522
00:39:03,407 --> 00:39:05,637
I tell you I'm not down here on business.
Now stop playing hawkshaw!
523
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:08,770
Let me show you Charlie Barnes
still has the master's touch
524
00:39:08,846 --> 00:39:11,713
- when it comes to following up a lead, Mark.
- Tell me about it later, will you,
525
00:39:11,782 --> 00:39:15,684
- when you come back to work for me?
- You're afraid I'll get drunk and tip the story.
526
00:39:15,753 --> 00:39:18,881
- I'm tapering off, Mark.
- That's fine, Charlie. I'll call you.
527
00:39:18,956 --> 00:39:23,825
Let me work this with you, Mark. I know
this whole district from gutter to rum-heads.
528
00:39:23,894 --> 00:39:26,226
Pete in the pawnshop's
an honored friend of mine.
529
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:27,992
- Yeah.
- I can get him to work with me and...
530
00:39:28,065 --> 00:39:30,898
- Hello, Charlie!
- Go away.
531
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:35,400
- Here, Charlie, here's something to count.
- I don't want a handout, Mark.
532
00:39:35,473 --> 00:39:37,498
- I want to work.
- You can pay me later. I'll call you, Charlie.
533
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:39,338
Mark, let me help...
534
00:40:13,544 --> 00:40:14,704
Hang onto them, Pete.
535
00:40:14,779 --> 00:40:17,873
We'll drop back payday
and look them over again.
536
00:40:25,022 --> 00:40:26,489
Them guys should wear glasses.
537
00:40:26,557 --> 00:40:29,185
They do so much looking,
but never no buying.
538
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:31,125
Get this for me, Pete.
539
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:34,356
Taking something out for a change
instead of putting it in, Charlie?
540
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:37,526
I admit to the novelty of the occasion, Peter.
541
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:50,109
- Hey, you didn't hock this with me.
- Doing a favor for a friend.
542
00:40:52,082 --> 00:40:56,178
Them cops. You know, if someday
they should buy something from me, I'd...
543
00:40:56,253 --> 00:40:59,620
No, that'd be bad. I'd drop dead.
544
00:41:02,226 --> 00:41:06,185
You know, Charlie, I ought to be
in some other kind of business.
545
00:41:06,697 --> 00:41:10,497
You really meet a very poor class of people
in this business.
546
00:41:10,768 --> 00:41:13,259
Not meaning anything personal,
you understand.
547
00:41:13,337 --> 00:41:16,773
But I'm always dealing with people
who are in trouble,
548
00:41:17,274 --> 00:41:21,608
people who gotta hock something.
People who gotta buy something cheap.
549
00:41:24,582 --> 00:41:28,109
I don't like cheap things.
I never did and I never will.
550
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:34,356
I should have been big fur man, maybe,
or big jewelry man.
551
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,651
Then I could deal with rich people.
552
00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:42,554
That's the kind of people
I really prefer to deal with.
553
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:47,694
- Hey! How much is on this ticket?
- Two bucks.
554
00:41:58,249 --> 00:41:59,841
Here, sign here.
555
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:08,424
You know, sometimes they say
even the rich people aren't happy.
556
00:42:08,492 --> 00:42:11,017
But how that could be, I don't know.
557
00:42:12,296 --> 00:42:15,857
Thank you, Peter.
Thank you for being in business!
558
00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:21,433
Thank you very much.
559
00:42:33,517 --> 00:42:35,041
A shot, Heeney.
560
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:38,614
You look like your blood pressure's boiling,
Charlie. What's the matter?
561
00:42:38,689 --> 00:42:40,680
The classic irony of the age, Heeney.
562
00:42:40,758 --> 00:42:43,659
Charlie Barnes, a stewbum,
rocking the newspaper world
563
00:42:43,727 --> 00:42:46,457
like he never did in all his sober days.
564
00:43:00,411 --> 00:43:02,208
- Composing.
- Yes, sir.
565
00:43:04,481 --> 00:43:07,712
Yes. Yes, madam,
I have two answers for you.
566
00:43:08,185 --> 00:43:11,313
First, you shouldn't talk
to strange men in bars.
567
00:43:11,388 --> 00:43:13,982
Second, because he asked you to marry him
568
00:43:14,058 --> 00:43:16,356
then hit you with a pretzel dish
when you refused
569
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:19,191
isn't conclusive proof
he's our Lonely Heart Killer,
570
00:43:19,263 --> 00:43:21,697
but thanks for calling, lady. Bye.
571
00:43:23,334 --> 00:43:26,326
Phony or not,
those tips belong to the police.
572
00:43:26,704 --> 00:43:30,299
When are you going to get rid of the idea
you're wearing an invisible badge?
573
00:43:30,374 --> 00:43:34,140
Julie Allison. Hello, Charlie. How are you?
574
00:43:36,714 --> 00:43:38,181
The Lonely Heart murder?
575
00:43:38,248 --> 00:43:42,844
And you've got to meet me right away.
We have to figure out how to handle this.
576
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,514
I know the killer, and it's dynamite.
577
00:43:46,757 --> 00:43:48,952
Well, Charlie,
that story is really Steve McCleary's.
578
00:43:49,026 --> 00:43:52,587
- I think you'd better talk to...
- No, no, Julie, I want you to have this.
579
00:43:52,663 --> 00:43:55,393
Now I can repay you, Julie child,
for everything.
580
00:43:55,466 --> 00:43:59,596
Julie, this is so... It's so tremendous,
it'll put both of us on top.
581
00:44:02,272 --> 00:44:04,035
What? What, Julie?
582
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:08,835
Okay, okay, both of you meet me.
583
00:44:08,912 --> 00:44:11,540
Maybe we will need
somebody like McCleary.
584
00:44:11,615 --> 00:44:14,175
Steve, Charlie says
he has information on the murder.
585
00:44:14,251 --> 00:44:18,654
- He's awfully excited about something.
- About two quarts full, probably.
586
00:44:19,890 --> 00:44:21,881
Yeah, Charlie, what's up?
587
00:44:22,726 --> 00:44:25,695
I wanted Julie to have this,
but she insists you be on in it.
588
00:44:25,763 --> 00:44:27,663
I mean you be in on it.
589
00:44:27,965 --> 00:44:30,297
- What's the matter, Charlie?
- No.
590
00:44:31,368 --> 00:44:34,462
- What? You're not sore, are you?
- No, go away!
591
00:44:36,006 --> 00:44:38,099
What? What have I got?
592
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:40,939
I've got the Lonely Heart Killer for you,
that's what!
593
00:44:41,011 --> 00:44:44,777
Gee, Charlie, that's great.
You getting him crocked so he'll confess?
594
00:44:44,848 --> 00:44:48,807
I haven't got him. I know who he is.
595
00:44:54,858 --> 00:44:55,950
What?
596
00:44:59,563 --> 00:45:03,465
Yes, I'm in a saloon.
I'm in Heeney's. But I'm not drunk.
597
00:45:04,034 --> 00:45:07,128
I've just taken the hottest story
of the century out of hock, and I'm gonna...
598
00:45:08,038 --> 00:45:11,064
He's really flying tonight.
See what your 10 bucks did?
599
00:45:11,141 --> 00:45:15,009
Stop treating him like some
weak-minded child. Listen to what he's got.
600
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:19,482
- He's not this excited for nothing.
- You know what he's got? The DTs.
601
00:45:19,616 --> 00:45:21,675
Charlie Barnes, tanked to the eyeballs,
602
00:45:21,752 --> 00:45:24,880
says he just took the Lonely Heart
murder solution out of hock.
603
00:45:26,056 --> 00:45:29,583
Hello, Charlie?
Still there? Let's start all over again.
604
00:45:30,294 --> 00:45:34,788
Listen, you mental midget. The only reason
I'm calling the <i>Express</i> is Julie Allison.
605
00:45:34,865 --> 00:45:37,732
Before I'd give this story
to an insolent young pup like you,
606
00:45:37,801 --> 00:45:39,792
I'd take it to the <i>Daily Leader!</i>
607
00:45:39,870 --> 00:45:42,304
Charlie's mad now.
Gonna sell it to the <i>Leader.</i>
608
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:46,069
- Hang up on the drunken slob.
- Julie? She just left.
609
00:45:46,477 --> 00:45:48,570
I guess we'll just have to read your story
in the <i>Leader</i> tomorrow.
610
00:45:48,645 --> 00:45:50,772
- So long, pal.
- Give me that.
611
00:45:51,815 --> 00:45:53,077
- Hello? Hello?
- Don't be silly, Julie.
612
00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:55,141
He'll just keep you up all night
listening to his fairytales.
613
00:45:55,219 --> 00:45:59,349
- Where was he calling from?
- Bellevue psycho ward, I think he said.
614
00:46:00,257 --> 00:46:01,747
Your 10 bucks.
615
00:47:13,697 --> 00:47:15,460
- Keep this for me, Heeney.
- Why, sure, Charlie.
616
00:47:15,532 --> 00:47:17,056
A couple hours.
617
00:47:17,868 --> 00:47:20,359
One more, Heeney. One for the road.
618
00:48:05,215 --> 00:48:06,739
Hello, Charlie.
619
00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:13,617
Mark. I thought you were still down
at the Bowery.
620
00:48:15,692 --> 00:48:18,024
I hear you got a story, Charlie.
621
00:48:18,195 --> 00:48:20,060
Where'd you hear that?
622
00:48:20,597 --> 00:48:25,364
- Isn't that what you told McCleary?
- Why, I was just schmoozing him, I...
623
00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:28,295
Lining him up for a little touch.
624
00:48:28,372 --> 00:48:31,432
I gave you some money.
What did you do with it?
625
00:48:31,775 --> 00:48:33,333
You didn't, by any chance,
find a pawn ticket
626
00:48:33,410 --> 00:48:36,379
- mixed in with the money, did you, Charlie?
- Pawn ticket? Why, I...
627
00:48:36,446 --> 00:48:40,177
Did you use the money
to get the story out of hock, Charlie?
628
00:48:41,218 --> 00:48:44,585
You've got something that belongs to me.
Where is it?
629
00:48:45,389 --> 00:48:47,220
You were on the way to the <i>Leader</i>
with some evidence.
630
00:48:47,291 --> 00:48:49,725
Where is it, Charlie? Where is it?
631
00:49:01,905 --> 00:49:04,738
It's a wonderful story, isn't it, Charlie?
632
00:49:05,509 --> 00:49:07,909
You wanted to be a big man, Mark.
633
00:49:08,745 --> 00:49:12,476
This will make you famous
beyond your most ambitious dreams.
634
00:49:13,884 --> 00:49:18,412
Great story?
I've waited all my life for a story like this.
635
00:49:19,456 --> 00:49:23,483
Well, you've got it, Charlie.
But you're not going to write it.
636
00:49:27,130 --> 00:49:30,622
You're crazy, Mark.
Twenty years you've covered the news.
637
00:49:30,701 --> 00:49:33,761
Seen the bright boys try this. It never works.
638
00:49:56,493 --> 00:49:59,587
We just heard about Charlie Barnes.
Rotten deal.
639
00:50:00,163 --> 00:50:04,293
It's hard when it's someone like Charlie
you've known for 22 years.
640
00:50:04,401 --> 00:50:06,164
I knew him 25 years.
641
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:10,167
I never expected to see him
laying on a slab in this place.
642
00:50:10,507 --> 00:50:15,001
Is that right, Doc? Was he found
in an alleyway across from the <i>Daily Leader?</i>
643
00:50:15,078 --> 00:50:17,205
- Steve...
- Yes, that's right.
644
00:50:17,447 --> 00:50:20,439
The <i>Daily Leader.</i> He had a story!
645
00:50:20,517 --> 00:50:23,509
But he was taking your clever,
insolent, fresh-guy advice
646
00:50:23,587 --> 00:50:27,216
- and giving it to the <i>Leader!</i>
- He was drunk, Julie. How could I know...
647
00:50:27,290 --> 00:50:29,656
Charlie Barnes never got so drunk
he didn't know a story!
648
00:50:29,726 --> 00:50:33,492
Or that he'd try to peddle
a phony tip to a newspaper! But you...
649
00:50:33,563 --> 00:50:35,394
You couldn't bother listening to him!
650
00:50:35,465 --> 00:50:38,798
You and that newsprint hero of yours,
Mark Chapman.
651
00:50:39,269 --> 00:50:41,032
You couldn't expect us to believe
that Charlie Barnes
652
00:50:41,104 --> 00:50:43,129
had any real information
on the murder, Julie.
653
00:50:43,206 --> 00:50:45,231
We still don't know that he did.
654
00:50:45,308 --> 00:50:49,711
If you and that stone-hearted, glory seeking,
"I am the great Mark Chapman"
655
00:50:49,780 --> 00:50:51,771
had thrown Charlie
the miserable crumb of respect
656
00:50:51,848 --> 00:50:54,510
of just listening to him, he'd be alive today!
657
00:50:54,584 --> 00:50:58,748
Julie, maybe you're right.
Maybe it is partly my fault Charlie's dead.
658
00:50:58,822 --> 00:51:01,882
I'm sorry. Really sorry. But what can I do?
659
00:51:02,392 --> 00:51:06,123
Don't go soft! Show Chapman
you're a chip off the old block.
660
00:51:06,596 --> 00:51:08,655
Have him give Charlie a fancy funeral.
661
00:51:08,732 --> 00:51:11,997
Great headline.
"The <i>Express</i> buries its cast-offs."
662
00:51:12,436 --> 00:51:14,097
It'll sell papers!
663
00:51:27,350 --> 00:51:31,912
Kenny, rewrite that one paragraph, will you?
Allison had a bad night. Yeah.
664
00:51:32,289 --> 00:51:35,087
I just got yesterday's figures
from circulation, Mark.
665
00:51:35,158 --> 00:51:38,491
Six hundred and ninety-six thousand.
You're moving up there.
666
00:51:38,562 --> 00:51:41,292
Looks as though it's going to cost
the <i>Express</i> some bonus money before long.
667
00:51:41,364 --> 00:51:44,765
Quicker than you can say,
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Stockholder Rawley!"
668
00:51:44,835 --> 00:51:46,666
We're only starting,
Mr. Madison, only starting.
669
00:51:46,736 --> 00:51:48,260
That's the spirit!
670
00:51:48,338 --> 00:51:50,272
When you get to the editor's chair,
remember one thing.
671
00:51:50,340 --> 00:51:54,743
You're a hero with a lifetime job,
as long as the circulation is rising.
672
00:51:55,045 --> 00:51:59,379
- What have you got there?
- Something that will keep circulation rising.
673
00:51:59,716 --> 00:52:01,581
Charlie Barnes' story.
674
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:04,378
What are you talking about?
675
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:06,820
Charlie wasn't near the <i>Daily Leader</i>
by accident, Mark.
676
00:52:06,890 --> 00:52:08,790
He had something to print.
677
00:52:08,859 --> 00:52:11,419
I couldn't find it in his effects
at the morgue this morning,
678
00:52:11,495 --> 00:52:15,932
but I found it at Heeney's bar,
the joint Charlie phoned from last night.
679
00:52:16,233 --> 00:52:19,134
Half a pawnshop ticket was still on the bag.
680
00:52:19,236 --> 00:52:21,431
Pete's Hock Shop. I checked it.
681
00:52:21,505 --> 00:52:24,838
Charlie came in the pawnshop last night
with a claim check.
682
00:52:24,908 --> 00:52:27,536
Said he was unhocking it for a friend.
683
00:52:28,478 --> 00:52:31,743
Well, what's in the bag?
Miss Lonely Heart's name and address?
684
00:52:32,916 --> 00:52:36,477
Better than that, Mark.
Much better than that.
685
00:52:38,054 --> 00:52:40,579
A picture of the guy who killed her.
686
00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:52,362
A picture?
You can't even see the guy's face!
687
00:52:52,435 --> 00:52:54,596
What's the matter, Mark?
This is the first real lead we've got.
688
00:52:54,671 --> 00:52:56,263
The way you talked,
I thought we had it all sewed up.
689
00:52:56,339 --> 00:52:59,604
Sure, it's a lead, but it's a thin one.
How much does this give us?
690
00:52:59,676 --> 00:53:04,773
Well, we're certain the dame had a husband.
They were married in 1931 in Connecticut.
691
00:53:05,248 --> 00:53:09,048
- The husband's the guy who killed her.
- How do you make that?
692
00:53:09,419 --> 00:53:11,580
The ring mark on her finger
must have been a wedding ring.
693
00:53:11,655 --> 00:53:14,055
The inscription inside
could have identified him.
694
00:53:14,124 --> 00:53:16,388
And he grabbed the pawn ticket
figuring she'd hocked some belongings
695
00:53:16,459 --> 00:53:18,893
- that might peg him.
- Makes sense.
696
00:53:19,396 --> 00:53:22,194
Charlie got the pawn ticket from the killer.
697
00:53:22,265 --> 00:53:25,701
He must have been with him sometime,
someplace, yesterday.
698
00:53:25,769 --> 00:53:28,329
A lot of people
could have seen them together, right?
699
00:53:28,405 --> 00:53:29,770
Could have.
700
00:53:31,141 --> 00:53:33,609
Splash this picture
on the front page tonight.
701
00:53:33,677 --> 00:53:35,975
Offer a reward for information.
702
00:53:39,149 --> 00:53:41,674
"Lonely Heart Killer strikes again."
703
00:53:43,153 --> 00:53:45,246
When you write the story,
say that Barnes was working on this case
704
00:53:45,322 --> 00:53:46,346
undercover for the <i>Express.</i>
705
00:53:46,423 --> 00:53:49,620
He got too close to the killer
and died in the line of duty.
706
00:53:49,693 --> 00:53:50,887
Mark, I don't know, it...
707
00:53:50,961 --> 00:53:54,863
Nobody can deny it. It'll help sell papers.
We'll offer $1,000.
708
00:53:55,232 --> 00:53:58,360
Look, kid, don't pin your hopes
on anybody being able
709
00:53:58,435 --> 00:54:02,030
to spot the guy from this.
Unless they got x-ray eyes.
710
00:54:02,339 --> 00:54:04,034
I'm sure Charlie connected
the guy in the picture
711
00:54:04,107 --> 00:54:08,601
with the bird who gave him the pawn ticket.
I'm going to fine-tooth the Bowery myself.
712
00:54:08,678 --> 00:54:11,374
It's even money
that's where Charlie ran into our man.
713
00:54:11,448 --> 00:54:12,972
Good luck, kid.
714
00:54:44,314 --> 00:54:47,875
- Well, I got them for you, McCleary.
- Good work, Heeney.
715
00:55:05,368 --> 00:55:09,634
Well, this does it. I'll never touch
another drop the rest of my life.
716
00:55:17,547 --> 00:55:19,515
'Course some of them
been sucking on the bottle all night,
717
00:55:19,582 --> 00:55:21,516
but they can still stand up.
718
00:55:21,584 --> 00:55:24,747
- They all knew Charlie?
- Yeah, they all knew him.
719
00:55:25,088 --> 00:55:29,081
If you give McCleary here
any bum information, I'll brain you.
720
00:55:29,793 --> 00:55:31,818
And I might even do worse.
721
00:55:31,961 --> 00:55:35,522
No more free shots
when you're seeing little red spiders.
722
00:55:35,999 --> 00:55:40,095
How many of you boys saw Charlie Barnes
the day he was killed? Raise your hands.
723
00:55:40,170 --> 00:55:44,197
All right, raise your mitts,
them that seen Charlie day before yesterday.
724
00:55:44,274 --> 00:55:45,366
Good.
725
00:55:48,478 --> 00:55:50,446
- Where did you see him?
- See who?
726
00:55:50,513 --> 00:55:54,279
- This guy must be used to talking to mirrors.
- Charlie Barnes.
727
00:55:54,351 --> 00:55:58,253
I seen him come out of a joint
where he flopped in the morning.
728
00:56:00,824 --> 00:56:02,815
You, where'd you see him?
729
00:56:03,460 --> 00:56:05,826
- Humpty O'Dougal's saloon.
- What time?
730
00:56:05,895 --> 00:56:10,389
In the afternoon. Late in the afternoon.
Charlie had a nice little bun on.
731
00:56:10,934 --> 00:56:11,992
Was he with anybody?
732
00:56:12,068 --> 00:56:14,036
With anybody?
Sure, he was with somebody.
733
00:56:14,104 --> 00:56:16,834
Charlie never drank by himself
if he had a little cash on him.
734
00:56:16,906 --> 00:56:19,966
- Well, do you know the guy he was with?
- Certainly I know who he was with.
735
00:56:20,043 --> 00:56:23,206
- Well, who was it?
- Me. He sprung me three slugs.
736
00:56:29,686 --> 00:56:32,678
When did you see him?
When did you see him?
737
00:56:36,159 --> 00:56:38,491
- This morning.
- Throw him out of here.
738
00:56:38,561 --> 00:56:41,086
- Wait a minute!
- What are you talking about?
739
00:56:41,164 --> 00:56:44,691
- Now, is there any more jokers in the crowd?
- I seen him.
740
00:56:45,735 --> 00:56:49,136
Yeah? Well, go on. Where'd you see him?
741
00:56:51,074 --> 00:56:53,770
On the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
742
00:56:53,843 --> 00:56:57,472
- Go on, go on.
- Nothing. He was working a sucker.
743
00:56:58,014 --> 00:57:01,177
- Giving him the pally act, that's all.
- Now think hard.
744
00:57:01,251 --> 00:57:04,243
Do you remember the sucker?
Do you remember what he looks like?
745
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,754
- Maybe.
- What do you mean, "Maybe"?
746
00:57:06,890 --> 00:57:10,826
- Maybe for 50 bucks.
- Why you...
747
00:57:11,995 --> 00:57:15,362
Do you think you could remember
for 1,000 bucks?
748
00:57:17,267 --> 00:57:19,258
Who could tell who he is?
749
00:57:19,469 --> 00:57:22,461
Can you describe
the man you saw Charlie with?
750
00:57:22,906 --> 00:57:26,273
Do I get $1,000 if I do?
751
00:57:26,443 --> 00:57:28,968
You do. If and when we find the guy.
752
00:57:29,379 --> 00:57:32,212
- Sure, I can describe him.
- Well, go ahead.
753
00:57:34,918 --> 00:57:37,819
- You paying the reward?
- No, but my boss is.
754
00:57:38,655 --> 00:57:41,647
- Then I'll describe it to him.
- Okay. Come on.
755
00:57:41,791 --> 00:57:44,385
Rush this over to the composing room.
756
00:57:44,761 --> 00:57:48,492
Kenny, see if you can figure out
a heading for that rubbish.
757
00:57:48,698 --> 00:57:50,723
Connie! Connie, take this.
758
00:57:58,475 --> 00:57:59,806
Wait here.
759
00:58:13,623 --> 00:58:15,318
Look, Lieutenant,
just refer the captain to me.
760
00:58:15,391 --> 00:58:18,189
I'll tell him he's cropping at the best
homicide man he ever had on the force.
761
00:58:18,261 --> 00:58:20,491
If he doesn't know that,
he's deaf, dumb and blind.
762
00:58:20,563 --> 00:58:22,861
Yeah, never mind the malarkey, Chapman!
763
00:58:22,932 --> 00:58:24,900
The next time
you people pull a stunt like this,
764
00:58:24,968 --> 00:58:27,596
I'll throw both you and McCleary in the can!
765
00:58:28,271 --> 00:58:31,832
Okay, Lieutenant, okay.
I give you my word. Goodbye, pal.
766
00:58:33,042 --> 00:58:35,340
Davis is screaming because we gave him
the suitcase only a half hour
767
00:58:35,411 --> 00:58:36,878
before he read it in the <i>Express.</i>
768
00:58:36,946 --> 00:58:39,437
Well, I've got something
that ought to make him happy again.
769
00:58:39,516 --> 00:58:40,744
Not another suitcase?
770
00:58:40,817 --> 00:58:44,776
A guy who can identify the man
Charlie got the pawn ticket from.
771
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:51,384
Hey, Bailey. Come in here.
772
00:59:00,103 --> 00:59:03,561
He wouldn't describe the guy to me.
He needed the boss.
773
00:59:06,643 --> 00:59:08,304
You the boss?
774
00:59:09,379 --> 00:59:13,611
Yeah, and don't waste my time.
Where'd you see this guy with Charlie?
775
00:59:15,818 --> 00:59:18,446
Down the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
776
00:59:19,956 --> 00:59:22,151
You say you can describe him?
777
00:59:41,844 --> 00:59:44,335
Well, go on. What did he look like?
778
00:59:54,057 --> 00:59:55,786
Stand up, will you?
779
01:00:04,467 --> 01:00:07,766
Yeah, just how I figured.
780
01:00:08,805 --> 01:00:10,432
You figured what?
781
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,272
He was your size,
782
01:00:17,313 --> 01:00:18,678
your build.
783
01:00:19,115 --> 01:00:21,345
Could have been as old as you.
784
01:00:21,951 --> 01:00:26,217
- Is that all?
- All you asked me was to describe him.
785
01:00:26,723 --> 01:00:30,625
That was no description!
That could fit a million guys in this town.
786
01:00:30,693 --> 01:00:34,060
- Even me.
- Well, how about the reward?
787
01:00:34,130 --> 01:00:38,123
Here, take this down to the cashier
and pick yourself up five bucks.
788
01:00:38,201 --> 01:00:41,261
- Show him where it is, Steve.
- Come on, Bailey.
789
01:01:30,186 --> 01:01:31,517
Hey, Baxter, where's Julie?
790
01:01:31,587 --> 01:01:34,078
She came in this morning,
banged this out on her typewriter,
791
01:01:34,157 --> 01:01:36,216
and told me to give it to Chapman.
792
01:01:36,292 --> 01:01:38,385
- What is it?
- Her resignation.
793
01:01:38,461 --> 01:01:42,261
I figured I'd hang onto it a day or so.
Maybe she'd cool off.
794
01:01:42,632 --> 01:01:46,261
I'm sure glad you did.
I'll take care of it for you, okay?
795
01:01:49,238 --> 01:01:50,762
Baxter, thanks.
796
01:02:00,883 --> 01:02:03,647
- Hello, Mrs. Allison.
- Well, hello, Steve. Come in.
797
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,051
Thank you.
798
01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:14,458
I have a pot of coffee in the kitchen.
I'd better see to it.
799
01:02:14,664 --> 01:02:16,564
Can I say a few words to you?
800
01:02:16,632 --> 01:02:19,533
Without getting hit with a table
or something?
801
01:02:19,602 --> 01:02:22,230
Speak your piece and get it over with.
802
01:02:22,338 --> 01:02:25,535
I just got rocked
with a bad piece of news, Julie.
803
01:02:25,742 --> 01:02:28,040
I heard about your resignation.
804
01:02:28,444 --> 01:02:31,845
Well, I can't imagine
why you'd shed any tears over it.
805
01:02:31,914 --> 01:02:33,211
Well, for what it's worth,
806
01:02:33,282 --> 01:02:36,308
your resigning knocks the props
out of a lot of things for me.
807
01:02:37,754 --> 01:02:40,655
That couldn't have come
from Steve McCleary.
808
01:02:41,791 --> 01:02:44,851
Okay, pass it. But I didn't figure
your burn at Chapman and me
809
01:02:44,927 --> 01:02:48,454
would be bigger than your wanting
to do something about Charlie's murder.
810
01:02:49,632 --> 01:02:52,829
Don't start playing me
for a hollow-headed female now, Steve.
811
01:02:52,902 --> 01:02:55,871
Your only interest, and Chapman's,
in Charlie's death is exploiting it
812
01:02:55,938 --> 01:02:59,601
- for all the circulation jumping it's worth!
- Julie, I'm not digging on a story now
813
01:02:59,675 --> 01:03:03,577
just for the school-boy bang of seeing
my name over a sensational yarn.
814
01:03:03,646 --> 01:03:06,672
Yeah, that's right, I had to get hit pretty hard
before I smartened up.
815
01:03:06,749 --> 01:03:09,309
But now I'm leveling
on the Charlie Barnes business.
816
01:03:13,422 --> 01:03:18,257
Well, if I can believe what I'm hearing,
this certainly is a different McCleary.
817
01:03:19,328 --> 01:03:20,955
I've been working night and day.
818
01:03:21,030 --> 01:03:24,227
All I've done is run the local leads
to a dead end.
819
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:29,294
There's only one gimmick left to follow.
This picture, the marriage in Connecticut.
820
01:03:29,472 --> 01:03:33,067
It's odd the person who married them
hasn't recognized it.
821
01:03:33,142 --> 01:03:36,077
Unless he's dead or hasn't seen the picture.
822
01:03:36,579 --> 01:03:40,310
Yeah, I thought of that angle, too.
But it's a million-to-one shot.
823
01:03:40,383 --> 01:03:43,716
A guy would have to be an elephant
to remember a face after 21 years.
824
01:03:44,787 --> 01:03:48,314
Tell him about the elephant we met
on Fifth Avenue, about four years ago.
825
01:03:48,391 --> 01:03:50,791
We were walking along the street when,
right out of the blue,
826
01:03:50,860 --> 01:03:53,021
a complete stranger stopped me.
827
01:03:53,095 --> 01:03:56,656
It turned out to be the little preacher
who married Julie's father and me
828
01:03:56,732 --> 01:03:59,724
in Portland, Maine, 23 years before!
829
01:04:01,404 --> 01:04:06,603
- And he actually was able to recognize you?
- And I'd put on a little weight since then.
830
01:04:07,210 --> 01:04:10,270
They say a New Englander
seldom forgets a face.
831
01:04:10,980 --> 01:04:13,813
Crazy odds, but what can we lose?
832
01:04:15,051 --> 01:04:16,416
Yeah, get this picture
833
01:04:16,485 --> 01:04:19,750
to every churchman, judge
and justice of the peace in Connecticut.
834
01:04:19,822 --> 01:04:24,259
- It's certainly worth trying.
- It's a big job. Compiling lists,
835
01:04:24,527 --> 01:04:26,620
- checking out leads.
- It can be done.
836
01:04:26,696 --> 01:04:28,687
The two of us could handle it, Julie.
837
01:04:29,732 --> 01:04:32,667
Well, I'd like to, Steve, but I've resigned.
838
01:04:32,735 --> 01:04:36,637
And I'd sooner drop dead
than ask Mark Chapman for my job back.
839
01:04:43,312 --> 01:04:45,803
- You dog!
- It never got past Baxter.
840
01:04:46,883 --> 01:04:48,908
A list of churches in each town
is no problem.
841
01:04:48,985 --> 01:04:52,318
The judges and JPs we can get
from the state legal directory in Hartford.
842
01:04:52,388 --> 01:04:54,720
Yeah, you start packing.
Enough for a couple of weeks.
843
01:04:54,790 --> 01:04:56,451
I'm going to the office
and get the lab boys started
844
01:04:56,525 --> 01:04:57,787
on knocking out a few hundred circulars.
845
01:04:57,860 --> 01:05:00,260
But suppose Chapman says no
to my working with you on it?
846
01:05:00,329 --> 01:05:03,492
Why should he? Anyway, I'm not going
to tell him anything until we're ready to go.
847
01:05:03,566 --> 01:05:04,658
Tonight sometime.
848
01:05:04,734 --> 01:05:08,898
Mom, you think it's safe for me to travel
out of state at night with this young man?
849
01:05:08,971 --> 01:05:12,702
Just so he doesn't misconstrue
the meaning of "freedom of the press."
850
01:05:12,775 --> 01:05:16,336
Hey, you wonderful woman.
I'll check with you for dinner.
851
01:05:21,417 --> 01:05:23,544
Steve, this is shot-in-the-dark stuff.
852
01:05:23,619 --> 01:05:26,452
Mark, more rabbit-brained ideas than this
have paid off.
853
01:05:26,522 --> 01:05:28,956
Your hottest lead is right here in town
where the murders were committed.
854
01:05:29,025 --> 01:05:32,290
Yeah, our hottest lead was in town,
but it dried up like a puddle in July.
855
01:05:32,361 --> 01:05:33,589
You're looking for a mental marvel,
856
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:36,154
a guy who can recognize somebody
he'd seen for 15 or 20 minutes
857
01:05:36,232 --> 01:05:38,757
at a wedding ceremony
he performed 21 years ago.
858
01:05:38,834 --> 01:05:41,394
How do we know he only saw them
for 15 or 20 minutes?
859
01:05:41,470 --> 01:05:44,200
Maybe they were members of his church
or were married by a judge
860
01:05:44,273 --> 01:05:46,298
or a justice in their own town.
861
01:05:46,375 --> 01:05:48,605
Steve, you're off
on a needle-in-a-haystack hunt.
862
01:05:48,678 --> 01:05:51,078
You can find a needle in a haystack
if you look long enough.
863
01:05:51,147 --> 01:05:53,775
You don't think I'm gonna let you
hang around up there indefinitely, do you?
864
01:05:53,849 --> 01:05:55,680
You won't have to. A week, probably.
865
01:05:55,751 --> 01:05:58,982
Julie Allison's coming along to help me.
It's all arranged.
866
01:05:59,055 --> 01:06:02,456
It's all arranged. And that five grand reward.
You arranged that, too?
867
01:06:02,525 --> 01:06:06,586
No, you did, or will.
Mark, what's eating you?
868
01:06:07,096 --> 01:06:09,257
I'm only checking out every possible angle.
869
01:06:09,332 --> 01:06:11,061
Kid, I don't want you to beat your brains out.
870
01:06:11,133 --> 01:06:13,033
We can get just so much
out of this Lonely Hearts story,
871
01:06:13,102 --> 01:06:16,128
and then we'll start easing it off
and let it die a natural death.
872
01:06:16,205 --> 01:06:19,368
Let it die? Mark, we let Charlie Barnes die!
873
01:06:20,509 --> 01:06:22,909
The least we can do now is to find his killer.
874
01:06:23,679 --> 01:06:26,443
You're the guy who pounded into me,
"Never give up till you've got the story."
875
01:06:26,515 --> 01:06:28,449
Well, I'm not quitting on this one
until I've licked it.
876
01:06:28,517 --> 01:06:30,985
You can reach me
at the Lenox Hotel in Hartford.
877
01:06:56,579 --> 01:06:57,978
Long distance.
878
01:06:58,047 --> 01:06:59,844
I want some information.
879
01:06:59,915 --> 01:07:01,906
A telephone number
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
880
01:07:01,984 --> 01:07:05,181
The name is Hacker. He's a judge.
I don't remember his first name.
881
01:07:05,254 --> 01:07:07,222
You wish to place a call to this party?
882
01:07:07,289 --> 01:07:10,383
No, no. Not yet, that is.
I just want to get his telephone number.
883
01:07:10,459 --> 01:07:12,188
<i>One moment, please.</i>
884
01:07:16,799 --> 01:07:20,235
Hello? The Middlebury operator
has no listing for anyone by that name.
885
01:07:21,037 --> 01:07:22,436
There isn't?
886
01:07:23,305 --> 01:07:25,296
Middlebury's a small town.
Will you ask the operator
887
01:07:25,374 --> 01:07:26,966
if she knows anything
about Judge Hacker at all?
888
01:07:27,043 --> 01:07:29,273
Is he deceased, moved away, or what?
889
01:07:29,345 --> 01:07:31,074
<i>One moment, please.</i>
890
01:07:35,518 --> 01:07:38,510
Hello? The local operator
has been in Middlebury for five years
891
01:07:38,587 --> 01:07:40,646
and knows no one
by the name of Judge Hacker.
892
01:07:40,723 --> 01:07:42,384
That's all the information she can give us.
893
01:07:43,959 --> 01:07:45,153
Thanks.
894
01:08:32,908 --> 01:08:35,308
No, Reverend,
I'm afraid that's not our couple.
895
01:08:36,412 --> 01:08:39,040
You may be positive, Reverend,
but you're mistaken.
896
01:08:39,115 --> 01:08:41,515
The woman in the photo we sent you
is dead.
897
01:08:41,584 --> 01:08:43,916
Thank you for calling, Reverend.
898
01:08:46,288 --> 01:08:48,153
You don't have to tell me.
899
01:08:48,224 --> 01:08:50,852
It's written all over
your bright and shining face.
900
01:08:50,926 --> 01:08:53,759
A 190-mile drive
to have a whack-head tell me
901
01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:56,423
that both the people in our circular
died a year ago.
902
01:08:57,766 --> 01:09:01,896
New Englanders remember, all right.
Every face is familiar to them.
903
01:09:04,406 --> 01:09:07,671
Hello? Just a minute, here's Steve.
904
01:09:08,110 --> 01:09:10,340
It's that man again. Every day.
905
01:09:10,412 --> 01:09:13,313
Does he think we'll keep it a big fat secret
if we find something?
906
01:09:15,284 --> 01:09:16,649
Yeah, Mark.
907
01:09:18,487 --> 01:09:20,819
Nothing but an aching back
and some interesting meetings
908
01:09:20,890 --> 01:09:22,824
with jelly-brained screwballs.
909
01:09:22,892 --> 01:09:26,555
You've had enough time, Steve. Ten days.
Admit it's a dud. Come on home.
910
01:09:26,629 --> 01:09:29,325
Two more days, Mark.
We'll stick it out to the end of the week.
911
01:09:29,899 --> 01:09:33,391
Get out of the haystack. It's easier
to find the needles at the scene of the crime.
912
01:09:33,469 --> 01:09:34,936
I'll see you.
913
01:09:35,771 --> 01:09:39,832
Two more days. I don't even know myself
why we're sticking around.
914
01:09:41,043 --> 01:09:42,772
Anything there that sounds good?
915
01:09:44,180 --> 01:09:47,946
I'll read you a fair sample.
From a J.P. Waterbury.
916
01:09:49,084 --> 01:09:52,451
"Send me $5,000
and I will tell you names of people."
917
01:09:52,655 --> 01:09:54,646
A new head I'll send him.
918
01:09:55,658 --> 01:09:58,320
I've got a headache.
I think I'll lie down for a while.
919
01:09:59,728 --> 01:10:01,855
Why don't you lie down here?
920
01:10:07,269 --> 01:10:08,998
I'll go to my room.
921
01:10:15,344 --> 01:10:17,744
McCleary. Okay, put him on.
922
01:10:18,681 --> 01:10:20,808
A guy calling from Franklin.
923
01:10:21,283 --> 01:10:23,308
Hello? Yeah, that's right.
924
01:10:25,955 --> 01:10:27,149
You do, huh?
925
01:10:29,258 --> 01:10:31,590
- You've got what?
- What is it?
926
01:10:31,827 --> 01:10:35,456
- Just a minute.
- I have the other picture right before me!
927
01:10:35,864 --> 01:10:41,131
Yes, I married them July 19th, 1931,
over in Middlebury.
928
01:10:42,438 --> 01:10:44,702
A funny thing. What's that?
929
01:10:48,143 --> 01:10:49,872
Judge Elroy Hacker.
930
01:10:50,379 --> 01:10:52,404
We'll be there in two hours, Judge.
931
01:10:52,481 --> 01:10:54,244
Sit tight
and keep your mouth shut about this.
932
01:10:54,316 --> 01:10:55,374
Bye.
933
01:10:55,584 --> 01:10:59,247
Go on, get packed.
He's liable to drop dead on us or something.
934
01:11:55,110 --> 01:11:58,102
For a man who can sit there
and watch his success increasing daily,
935
01:11:58,180 --> 01:12:00,011
you're looking much too troubled, Mark.
936
01:12:00,082 --> 01:12:03,210
It's just that these minor problems
always seem to require major thinking.
937
01:12:03,285 --> 01:12:06,379
Well, perhaps we can balance
the unpleasant with the pleasant.
938
01:12:06,455 --> 01:12:09,390
That conversation we had the other day
about your buying company stock.
939
01:12:09,458 --> 01:12:10,823
- Yeah?
- I just thought I'd tell you,
940
01:12:10,893 --> 01:12:14,920
- I think we can swing that.
- That's fine, Mr. Madison, just great.
941
01:12:14,997 --> 01:12:17,659
Well, there doesn't seem to be any doubt
you'll reach that bonus figure.
942
01:12:17,733 --> 01:12:19,064
It'll be pleasant having you as a partner,
943
01:12:19,134 --> 01:12:20,863
- so to speak, in the paper, Mark.
- Thanks.
944
01:12:20,936 --> 01:12:22,801
- Good night.
- Good night.
945
01:14:17,953 --> 01:14:19,147
Sorry to keep you this late, Mark,
946
01:14:19,221 --> 01:14:21,621
but we got hit with a mess of traffic
on the way in.
947
01:14:21,690 --> 01:14:23,157
Your wire sounded important.
948
01:14:23,225 --> 01:14:26,456
I found that needle,
or rather the man with the needle.
949
01:14:26,528 --> 01:14:29,725
Judge Elroy Hacker,
Mark Chapman, Managing Editor.
950
01:14:29,865 --> 01:14:32,925
- Glad to meet you, Judge.
- How do, Mr. Chapman?
951
01:14:33,902 --> 01:14:35,893
- Sit down, Judge.
- Thanks.
952
01:14:36,772 --> 01:14:38,672
Does the judge's needle sew anything up?
953
01:14:38,740 --> 01:14:41,231
Everything but knotting the thread
at the end.
954
01:14:41,310 --> 01:14:42,937
I mean the noose.
955
01:14:44,046 --> 01:14:45,240
What have you got?
956
01:14:45,314 --> 01:14:48,511
The identity of Mrs. Lonely Heart
and her husband.
957
01:14:49,117 --> 01:14:51,711
Judge Hacker married them
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
958
01:14:51,787 --> 01:14:54,688
Their names are Charlotte and George Grant.
959
01:14:58,827 --> 01:14:59,953
Did you get that, Mark?
960
01:15:00,028 --> 01:15:03,327
The name of the Lonely Heart Killer
is George Grant.
961
01:15:03,699 --> 01:15:05,530
Yeah, I heard you. Go on.
962
01:15:05,601 --> 01:15:08,229
Strike two. The judge is sure
he can identify George Grant
963
01:15:08,303 --> 01:15:10,203
when he sees him again.
964
01:15:10,806 --> 01:15:13,969
You see, I took this picture myself.
965
01:15:14,710 --> 01:15:17,338
A little extra service
the judge gave his bridal couples.
966
01:15:17,412 --> 01:15:20,711
Yes. I'd send them a print
and put one in my own scrapbook.
967
01:15:20,782 --> 01:15:22,579
The judge even furnished
the "just married" sign.
968
01:15:22,651 --> 01:15:24,118
Judge, you said
you married them in Middlebury,
969
01:15:24,186 --> 01:15:27,883
- but Steve found you in Franklin.
- I retired seven years ago.
970
01:15:27,956 --> 01:15:31,323
I'm partial to fishing,
so I moved over on the coast.
971
01:15:32,027 --> 01:15:34,928
I only happened
to see your circular by chance,
972
01:15:34,997 --> 01:15:37,830
in the office of a justice friend of mine.
973
01:15:40,602 --> 01:15:43,571
I always said you were born
in a field of shamrocks.
974
01:15:43,639 --> 01:15:47,769
Sure. The McClearys raised their kids
on nothing but rabbits' feet.
975
01:15:48,410 --> 01:15:52,471
Judge, what makes you so sure
you can identify George Grant today?
976
01:15:54,383 --> 01:15:57,250
Well, mainly because right after
I took that wedding picture,
977
01:15:57,319 --> 01:16:00,482
this Grant got vexed at his wife
about something.
978
01:16:01,590 --> 01:16:05,651
I can remember his voice, snapping at her.
His face getting red...
979
01:16:07,696 --> 01:16:11,598
I know what's in your bonnet, Mark.
We still have to find George Grant.
980
01:16:11,667 --> 01:16:14,363
A needle's nothing but a hunk of steel
if you've got nothing to sew.
981
01:16:14,436 --> 01:16:15,801
We just need the thread.
982
01:16:15,871 --> 01:16:18,203
I figure we'll pick that up
right here in New York.
983
01:16:18,273 --> 01:16:21,367
When the police line up all the local
George Grants for the judge to look over.
984
01:16:23,745 --> 01:16:27,416
That's Julie. I dropped her off
at headquarters to tell Davis what we've got.
985
01:16:29,251 --> 01:16:32,618
Friend Davis is steaming
like a pressure cooker, as I said he would.
986
01:16:32,688 --> 01:16:33,746
He'll simmer down.
987
01:16:33,822 --> 01:16:36,484
So will your
lining up the George Grants idea.
988
01:16:36,558 --> 01:16:40,255
Davis says he'll do nothing until you turn
Judge Hacker over to the police.
989
01:16:40,329 --> 01:16:42,763
- Steve, you can't hold...
- Relax, doll. He'll see the judge later.
990
01:16:42,831 --> 01:16:44,924
Not tonight he won't.
The judge is our exclusive beat.
991
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,230
Nobody gets to him
till our story breaks tomorrow.
992
01:16:47,302 --> 01:16:49,031
I don't trust cops.
993
01:16:51,607 --> 01:16:52,904
You and Julie start writing the story.
994
01:16:52,975 --> 01:16:56,308
I'll put the judge in a side-street hotel
where nobody will get to him.
995
01:16:56,378 --> 01:16:57,902
Come on, Judge.
996
01:17:01,316 --> 01:17:03,648
I'll just wait for Mr. McCleary.
997
01:17:04,987 --> 01:17:06,921
He was going to put me up at his place.
998
01:17:06,989 --> 01:17:08,581
That's the first place
the wolves will start baying.
999
01:17:08,657 --> 01:17:10,921
You better come with me, Judge.
1000
01:17:10,993 --> 01:17:15,157
No, I don't think it would be wise
for me to go with you, Mr. Grant.
1001
01:17:15,731 --> 01:17:18,325
- Mister...
- Chapman, Judge. Not Grant.
1002
01:17:18,734 --> 01:17:21,294
You'd better give your brain a rest.
You're gonna need it.
1003
01:17:21,370 --> 01:17:22,735
He may be Chapman now,
1004
01:17:22,804 --> 01:17:27,104
but 21 years ago, when I married them,
he was George Grant.
1005
01:17:27,509 --> 01:17:29,534
And he was a newspaperman.
1006
01:17:30,379 --> 01:17:34,145
I remember now. He said he worked
on the paper over in Waterford.
1007
01:17:34,216 --> 01:17:37,549
Waterford, Connecticut, was that town
I couldn't think of.
1008
01:17:37,619 --> 01:17:40,110
But I knew I'd remember that voice.
1009
01:17:40,422 --> 01:17:44,586
His face... You've changed.
But it's the same man.
1010
01:17:45,060 --> 01:17:48,086
You remember that $5,000 reward, though,
don't you, Judge?
1011
01:17:48,163 --> 01:17:51,428
Judge. This is impossible.
You're getting confused.
1012
01:17:51,633 --> 01:17:54,864
He sounds to me as though
he knows exactly what he's saying.
1013
01:17:54,936 --> 01:17:57,837
This is idiotic!
Screwball, crackbrained lunacy!
1014
01:17:57,906 --> 01:18:01,364
And that's just the kind of a witness
the judge is going to make, too, Steve.
1015
01:18:01,443 --> 01:18:03,240
The police have that specimen
of hair and flesh
1016
01:18:03,311 --> 01:18:05,905
found under Mrs. Grant's fingernails.
1017
01:18:06,348 --> 01:18:09,283
I think we'd better get in touch with Davis.
1018
01:18:09,551 --> 01:18:11,212
No phone, Allison.
1019
01:18:21,797 --> 01:18:26,359
Julie pegged you right off.
But me, still wet behind the ears McCleary.
1020
01:18:27,235 --> 01:18:29,328
I went for the sleigh ride.
1021
01:18:29,971 --> 01:18:35,409
I practically built the pedestal for Chapman.
The great newspaperman. The great guy.
1022
01:18:36,778 --> 01:18:41,545
There ought to be a special Pulitzer Prize
for the world's biggest sucker, McCleary.
1023
01:18:41,616 --> 01:18:44,141
Just another one of your stupid slobs!
1024
01:18:44,219 --> 01:18:45,948
Things happen, Steve,
and then there's just no end.
1025
01:18:46,021 --> 01:18:47,921
Killing my wife was an accident.
1026
01:18:47,989 --> 01:18:51,823
And Charlie. Charlie Barnes,
who never hurt a fly in his life.
1027
01:18:52,294 --> 01:18:54,057
A washed-up drunken rummy
who had nothing to live for
1028
01:18:54,129 --> 01:18:55,790
against a career
that was just reaching its prime.
1029
01:18:55,864 --> 01:18:59,322
- It wasn't an even exchange.
- You've got a great career ahead of you now.
1030
01:18:59,401 --> 01:19:02,302
That's all down the drain.
I gotta to make different plans now.
1031
01:19:02,370 --> 01:19:04,736
You should have started running
when you got my wire, sucker!
1032
01:19:04,806 --> 01:19:06,501
I gambled.
The stakes are big enough, you don't run
1033
01:19:06,575 --> 01:19:10,443
unless there's nothing else left to do.
Don't try it, kid.
1034
01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:30,190
Steve!
1035
01:19:50,986 --> 01:19:53,011
We're just too close, kid.
1036
01:19:57,292 --> 01:20:02,059
I figured I'd find you birds here.
Still playing me for a pushover, aren't you?
1037
01:20:04,032 --> 01:20:06,227
Steve, you remember how I told you
1038
01:20:06,301 --> 01:20:09,464
that someday you'd run into
a really great story?
1039
01:20:09,905 --> 01:20:11,736
Well, this one ought to do it, huh?
1040
01:20:12,474 --> 01:20:14,374
Yeah, this one will do.
1041
01:20:14,976 --> 01:20:16,603
I'll give you the lead on it.
1042
01:20:17,846 --> 01:20:18,972
"The elusive Lonely Heart Killer,
1043
01:20:19,047 --> 01:20:20,708

Mark Chapman, editor of the New York Express, has made the newspaper a success by pursuing sensationalism and yellow journalism. His protégé is ace reporter Steve McCleary, while successful feature writer Julie Allison is frustrated by the paper's drift towards raking the muck. One night, during a lonely hearts dance organized by the Express, Chapman's estranged wife confronts him and demands that he visit her hotel room. It is revealed that Chapman's real name is George Grant, and he abandoned his wife decades earlier, changing his identity. When Chapman rebuffs her efforts toward reconciliation, she threatens to publicize his real identity. Chapman tries to restrain her, accidentally killing her in the scuffle.
Chapman attempts to cover up his crime, posing the scene to look like an accident. The police initially believe she slipped in the bathtub, but McCleary begins covering the case, and his reporting reveals it was a murder. McCleary is eager to run the story, and Chapman must acquiesce to avoid suspicion. The "mystery" murderer is dubbed the "Lonely Hearts Killer." Charlie Barnes, an alcoholic former star reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner, stumbles upon the dead woman's suitcase, in which he finds wedding photographs showing Chapman (then Grant) and his wife. He realizes that Chapman must be the killer. Barnes contacts Allison, who has been kind to him, attempting to give her the scoop, but Chapman overhears the conversation. He intercepts and kills Barnes before he can reveal the truth to a rival publication. This act only increases public interest in the story of the Lonely Hearts Killer, much to Chapman's frustration.
Assisted by Allison, McCleary continues to track down clues and leads. Eventually he locates another photo from Chapman/Grant's wedding, although the groom is shot in profile and it is not obvious that it is Chapman. McCleary and Allison travel to Connecticut to find the judge who married the murdered woman and the man in the photograph. After a week of searching, they identify the judge who conducted the marriage. They bring him back to the newspaper building, where he identifies Chapman as the groom and thus the Lonely Hearts Killer. McCleary is incredulous, but Allison puts the pieces together and the desperate Chapman pulls a gun on them. The police arrive, and Chapman cannot bring himself to shoot McCleary. Instead, he gives McCleary his blessing to publish all details of his crimes and then commits suicide by cop.

1
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,468
I know how you feel, lady.
2
00:01:52,545 --> 00:01:54,445
Just take your time
and tell me what happened.
3
00:01:54,514 --> 00:01:57,915
He had this meat ax, her blood all over it.
4
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:03,187
My brother-in-law had it.
Blood all over his hands, all over his shirt.
5
00:02:03,389 --> 00:02:05,687
I can't talk about it, Officer.
6
00:02:05,859 --> 00:02:08,851
I know it's rough, lady,
but I have to have the facts.
7
00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:14,298
He comes staggering out in the hall.
He says, "I did it. Call the cops."
8
00:02:15,101 --> 00:02:16,125
And then he...
9
00:02:16,202 --> 00:02:19,467
Snap it up, Captain.
Lieutenant Davis just blew in.
10
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,303
What's he going to do, Officer?
11
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:25,003
- I'm not a cop, lady.
- But you said...
12
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:27,610
All I said was,
"I had to ask you some questions."
13
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,079
I'm from the <i>Express.</i>
14
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:33,984
You made me go through all that.
Why, you're not decent! You're not human!
15
00:02:34,754 --> 00:02:38,121
- Sorry, lady. All part of the job.
- Well, well, Lieutenant Davis.
16
00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:42,252
- Say, this must have been a homicide.
- Hi, Lieutenant. Wait till you hear it.
17
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:45,092
- A messy one.
- You keep pulling stuff like this, McCleary,
18
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:50,193
and so help me, if it's the last thing I do,
I'll run you in! Now, that's a warning!
19
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:18,591
This is KL-75263. Get me Plaza-52099.
20
00:03:19,532 --> 00:03:24,401
You know, that wasn't a bad-Iooking dame.
Too bad the guy used an ax on her head.
21
00:03:25,271 --> 00:03:27,796
Spoiled some pretty pictures for me.
22
00:03:28,908 --> 00:03:31,877
Hey, Mark, have you put on the gloves
with those stockholders yet?
23
00:03:32,178 --> 00:03:34,203
Hi. No, I'm just taping up my hands.
24
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,976
<i>Well, you can tell them we got</i>
<i>another neat and gory one coming up.</i>
25
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:39,177
<i>Hatchet murder. Lower East Side tenement.</i>
26
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:41,652
<i>Wrapped up an exclusive interview</i>
<i>with an eyewitness.</i>
27
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:43,211
You got plenty of art?
28
00:03:43,289 --> 00:03:45,052
Yeah. Biddle grabbed all he could
of the body.
29
00:03:45,124 --> 00:03:49,185
A dame, very messy.
Got a great hysterical close-up of her sister.
30
00:03:49,529 --> 00:03:52,828
I'll even write the caption for you.
"I seen him with a bloody meat ax."
31
00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:54,592
Good. With that, I can sell papers.
32
00:03:54,667 --> 00:03:57,295
Give it to rewrite and we'll get it in the final.
Hold on. What do you want?
33
00:03:57,370 --> 00:04:00,237
Mr. Madison called down
from the boardroom again, Mr. Chapman.
34
00:04:00,306 --> 00:04:02,831
You hear that?
I'm letting them stew in their financial juices.
35
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:05,067
Well, don't overdo it. I like this job.
36
00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:08,273
You've never gone backwards
with me before, have you, kid?
37
00:04:08,348 --> 00:04:13,217
If we leave here, we'll bounce into
a bigger setup. I'll see you when you get in.
38
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:21,417
As one of the largest stockholders
in this corporation,
39
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:24,463
I would like to know
why the <i>New York Express,</i>
40
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:27,465
once a distinguished
and respected newspaper,
41
00:04:29,869 --> 00:04:33,600
has been allowed to become
a cheap and depraved publication.
42
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:38,835
Why has an editor been allowed
to turn a decent journal into this?
43
00:04:39,679 --> 00:04:41,613
A disgusting tabloid!
44
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,749
Pandering to the passions
of the base morons!
45
00:04:45,151 --> 00:04:47,847
I demand an explanation, Frank Madison.
46
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:54,750
Well, Mrs. Rawley, I...
In defense of Mark Chapman, I...
47
00:04:54,827 --> 00:04:58,263
Mr. Madison, I'd like to handle
my own defense, if you don't mind.
48
00:04:58,331 --> 00:04:59,855
Just as you say, Mark.
49
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:05,428
Mrs. Rawley, I think you
and the other stockholders should know
50
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:07,496
that your publisher hired me
as executive editor
51
00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:09,837
with full rights to transform this newspaper.
52
00:05:10,677 --> 00:05:14,443
He did this for a very simple reason.
He was fed up with operating at a loss.
53
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:18,611
Why did Mr. Madison hire me?
Well, he felt it was time that the <i>Express</i>
54
00:05:18,685 --> 00:05:21,745
buried its antiquated negative approach,
such as this.
55
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:25,756
But who won?
56
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:29,920
And become a positive newspaper.
We're in a business, ladies and gentlemen,
57
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:34,695
a business of satisfying the hunger
of the public for thrills, escape and news.
58
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:39,271
Here's where I took over
your highly respectable white elephant.
59
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:42,172
Instead of headlining a UN story,
we gave them a vice story.
60
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:44,368
Obviously, they went for it.
61
00:05:44,544 --> 00:05:46,239
We played down
the presidential appointments
62
00:05:46,312 --> 00:05:48,644
and concentrated
on the "Gorilla Man" killings.
63
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:51,576
Here's what happened.
Thirty or forty thousand new readers.
64
00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:54,245
Why, in a year, circulation's up over 110%.
65
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,686
And when we reach 750,000,
66
00:05:56,756 --> 00:06:00,886
we'll have to pay you a big bonus.
I'm not sure I like this at all.
67
00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:02,761
Did you like the dividend check
you got last month
68
00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:04,194
for the first time in 12 years?
69
00:06:04,263 --> 00:06:07,323
I don't like this, sir.
What kind of journalism is this?
70
00:06:07,967 --> 00:06:10,026
A newspaper
staging a cheap, vulgar display
71
00:06:10,103 --> 00:06:13,266
in order to attract
the stupid slobs of the city!
72
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,865
The thousands who will attend
the Lonely Heart dance tonight,
73
00:06:15,942 --> 00:06:18,467
these poor, friendly, unhappy people
whom you call stupid slobs,
74
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:20,569
buy and read this newspaper.
75
00:06:20,646 --> 00:06:22,944
Their loyalty helped put that dividend check
in your pocket.
76
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:26,712
And I suppose you think it's a public service
when one of your reporters is arrested
77
00:06:26,786 --> 00:06:30,745
for withholding information from the police?
Or whatever it was.
78
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:34,150
This, what's his name, McCleary person,
79
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,352
and the things he writes about!
I think he should be fired!
80
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:39,295
This McCleary person
is the best young reporter I've seen
81
00:06:39,365 --> 00:06:41,060
in 25 years of newspapering.
82
00:06:41,134 --> 00:06:43,193
Before I'll fire him,
I'll throw the <i>Express</i> up for grabs
83
00:06:43,269 --> 00:06:45,669
and go to work for somebody
who appreciates real talent on a paper!
84
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:47,262
- Mark, I'm sure...
- One last thing.
85
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:50,798
The only contract I have here is a handshake
between Mr. Madison and myself.
86
00:06:50,877 --> 00:06:53,141
Now, unless you give me full rights
to run this paper the way I want,
87
00:06:53,212 --> 00:06:55,271
I'll quit after the final edition today.
88
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:58,784
Now, I'm sorry I can't stay with you
any longer. I have a newspaper to get out!
89
00:07:06,092 --> 00:07:10,426
- Your story ready, Miss Allison?
- I'll have the rest in a minute, Joey.
90
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:13,831
Mr. Chapman?
91
00:07:16,502 --> 00:07:17,696
Thanks.
92
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:26,937
McCleary story in yet, Bax?
93
00:07:32,485 --> 00:07:34,885
How'd you make out in the torture chamber?
94
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:40,450
This is good. Give it a big play.
Mac'll do a byline follow-up tomorrow.
95
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:43,825
- What are these?
- Pics for that Lonely Heart spread.
96
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:45,820
- Junk them.
- But I...
97
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:47,092
Take Peters off the Lonely Hearts.
98
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:48,997
He's photographing these slobs
like a lineup in a soup kitchen
99
00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:50,660
instead of panting for a red-hot romance.
100
00:07:50,736 --> 00:07:52,533
- Okay. But I...
- Yeah?
101
00:07:52,939 --> 00:07:54,566
Yes, Mr. Madison.
102
00:07:58,211 --> 00:08:00,611
- Get an ax, smear it with blood.
- Yeah? Whose?
103
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,171
Yours. If you can't spare any,
use chocolate syrup or something.
104
00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:07,652
Chocolate? Goody! When I'm through,
I can make a plate of fudge. Drop in.
105
00:08:08,721 --> 00:08:12,157
So, you still insist a woman having 20 kids
is worth a feature article?
106
00:08:12,225 --> 00:08:15,422
Hi, genius.
I think it's worth a whole front page.
107
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:18,391
It scares me, this maternal instinct of yours.
108
00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:20,955
Decided where you're taking me
to dinner tonight?
109
00:08:23,736 --> 00:08:25,966
If Chapman hasn't been canned,
110
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,169
you're going to dine with the worst loser
who ever paid off a bet.
111
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:31,608
Then you'd better stash some
bicarbonate soda in your bag, princess.
112
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:32,837
You're gonna need it.
113
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:35,437
Don't count your steaks
before you hear the sizzle.
114
00:08:37,617 --> 00:08:39,608
Well, what's the word? Are you ex or still?
115
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,880
They're not dumb enough
to throw out a winner.
116
00:08:41,954 --> 00:08:44,650
Congratulations. I knew you'd stick
their stocks right back in their teeth.
117
00:08:44,724 --> 00:08:46,555
I told them if they fired me,
McCleary would quit, too,
118
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:49,060
and then they'd be in real trouble.
119
00:08:49,128 --> 00:08:50,527
I wouldn't put it past them
to try and dump you
120
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:53,929
to get out of paying the bonus that's
staring them right in their glassy eyes.
121
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,331
I've got news for you.
122
00:08:55,401 --> 00:08:57,528
I'm going to cut you in
for a piece of that bonus.
123
00:08:57,603 --> 00:08:59,298
What do you want me to do, retire?
124
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:00,566
I thought we could make a deal with Madison
125
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,698
to buy some of the company's stock.
126
00:09:01,774 --> 00:09:03,901
You know, kid,
we could end up owning this newspaper.
127
00:09:03,976 --> 00:09:06,536
- Well, that's the best offer I've had all week.
- I'll make you another one.
128
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:09,080
I'll take you to dinner tonight.
You pick the spot.
129
00:09:10,349 --> 00:09:14,012
I'll make you a better offer.
My date's buying. She lost a bet.
130
00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:17,544
The Grand Duchess from Vassar again?
The way I feel, I can put up with anything.
131
00:09:17,623 --> 00:09:19,818
- I'm more worried, can she put up with you?
- Get her ready.
132
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:24,124
We've got to be at the ballroom at 8:00.
There's no time for nose powder.
133
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:32,597
Don't break your ears with that grin.
I can see. He's still in.
134
00:09:33,005 --> 00:09:36,532
- No loud whoops of joy, baby?
- Well, I tried everything.
135
00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:39,770
I crossed my fingers,
said prayers, burned candles.
136
00:09:39,845 --> 00:09:43,713
- Who's your tailor, princess?
- Let's get out of here.
137
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,075
I've had to look at that Chapman face all day.
138
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:50,714
I've got to cover his fiasco tonight
and suffer some more.
139
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:53,987
At least just looking at you for an hour
will be a welcome change.
140
00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:57,496
- Lf you're taking me to dinner, let's go.
- Taking him?
141
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,195
Wait a minute.
Our bet was between you and me.
142
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:03,463
Our bet was loser buys dinner.
We didn't say for how many.
143
00:10:03,536 --> 00:10:06,994
- Why, you double-crossing...
- I knew you'd be a good loser.
144
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:10,807
Someday remind me to tell you about girls.
145
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:20,248
You talk a couple of these suckers
into getting married.
146
00:10:20,319 --> 00:10:21,581
These Lonely Heart slobs got the gimmies,
147
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:23,519
and we've got plenty to give them
from the advertisers.
148
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:25,284
If you talk one couple
into getting married by 9:00,
149
00:10:25,358 --> 00:10:27,883
by 12:00 we'll have a dozen lined up
for wedded bliss.
150
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,155
- McCleary, the Brooklyn cupid.
- McCleary, the human yes man.
151
00:10:30,229 --> 00:10:31,594
Hey, Julie!
152
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:34,155
- Hello, Charlie.
- Charlie.
153
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:38,225
- How are you, Barnes?
- Fine, Mark. You're looking fit. McCleary.
154
00:10:38,571 --> 00:10:39,595
Thank you.
155
00:10:39,672 --> 00:10:41,799
What goes on? Are you ghosting
Allison's features, Charlie?
156
00:10:41,874 --> 00:10:43,774
No, he's helping me with research
for that series
157
00:10:43,843 --> 00:10:45,640
on historical monuments in New York.
158
00:10:45,711 --> 00:10:47,872
You couldn't pick a better man.
I ought to know.
159
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:50,006
Remember those old days, Mark?
160
00:10:50,082 --> 00:10:53,813
Like the time I cut the phone cables
at the Lindbergh trial?
161
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:55,520
You scooped me. Almost cost me my job.
162
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:59,957
Scooped you, the wire services,
scooped everybody. That was the year...
163
00:11:00,026 --> 00:11:02,358
That was the year you won the Pulitzer Prize.
164
00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:06,826
Listen, Mark.
This stuff I've been doing for Julie, it's...
165
00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:13,200
- Mark, I think I'm ready to go back to work.
- That's fine. I'm glad to hear it, Charlie.
166
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,164
How about it, Mark? How about a job?
167
00:11:19,645 --> 00:11:21,510
- Why not?
- Thanks.
168
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:25,447
- Charlie, I'm so proud of you!
- This is gonna take a little juggling.
169
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:26,849
I won't be able to do anything right away.
170
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:28,978
Look, Charlie, I'll call you.
We're late, we gotta rush.
171
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:31,785
Sure, Mark, I know how it is,
always on the go.
172
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:35,258
- Coffee in the morning? Skinners?
- Sure thing, Julie.
173
00:11:40,199 --> 00:11:41,257
All the time I thought you were a...
174
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:43,699
- How much did you give him?
- $10. He earned it.
175
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:44,929
Ten bucks?
176
00:11:45,004 --> 00:11:47,336
- Buy a lot of whiskey.
- Did you see that rum-dumb?
177
00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:49,806
- Come midnight, he'll be in the gutter.
- Now, wait a minute.
178
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:51,274
He's an alky, Julie.
You shouldn't give an alky
179
00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:52,367
more than a buck at a time.
180
00:11:52,445 --> 00:11:55,414
You're liable to kill him.
Ten bucks, he can take a bath in it.
181
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:58,314
But... Well, this job
will change everything for him.
182
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:01,319
Job? I wouldn't have him in my office,
let alone on my staff.
183
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:04,117
In you go, sucker. Where are you going?
184
00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:07,085
I'm not going to let him go off believing this.
185
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:10,617
- Do you want to break his heart?
- Do I? What do you think you're doing?
186
00:12:10,696 --> 00:12:13,358
I'm giving him hopes and dreams.
A rummy like that lives on dreams.
187
00:12:13,432 --> 00:12:17,061
- He's happy. Why spoil it?
- Happy? Happy like your Lonely Hearts,
188
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,798
looking forward to those big romances
they've been promised?
189
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:23,069
- Only Charlie's romance is with a bottle.
- Get in.
190
00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:48,057
Biddle, don't leave that camera at half mast.
Stop goldbricking on the other guys.
191
00:12:48,134 --> 00:12:52,127
I must have got 100 shots already,
Mr. Chapman. My arm's giving out.
192
00:12:52,204 --> 00:12:56,334
You've only started. I want shots of people
from every state. Now start shooting.
193
00:12:58,911 --> 00:13:01,038
How are you doing, princess?
194
00:13:01,147 --> 00:13:04,116
Well, it's an effort,
but I'm trying to keep from screaming.
195
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:06,981
You were a real bundle of laughs
during dinner, too.
196
00:13:07,052 --> 00:13:08,781
Why don't you simmer down now?
197
00:13:08,854 --> 00:13:10,515
You're not so pretty
when your feathers are all ruffled.
198
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:13,183
Don't, Steve. I'm in no mood for levity.
199
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:17,491
- Do you feel like dancing?
- Do you figure that'll smooth my feathers?
200
00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:21,691
I've got a great idea for you. Grab yourself
one of these Lonely Heart boys.
201
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:25,066
Tell him you're a club date. Con him.
Get his life history.
202
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:28,903
- And there's your feature for tomorrow.
- Mark Chapman, Junior.
203
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:31,568
It'll sell papers, you left that out.
204
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:34,871
Happy hunting, cupid.
Mustn't let the boss down.
205
00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:38,312
Save at least one dance for me, princess.
206
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:58,034
Every time I aim my lens
at one of these walking zombies,
207
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:01,334
I think of the time
I covered the Miss America contest.
208
00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:03,705
The tears almost start to flow.
209
00:14:06,378 --> 00:14:09,370
From McCleary, you get nothing but service.
Ten minutes before 9:00,
210
00:14:09,448 --> 00:14:13,179
and couple number one. Mary and Joe
met in front of the Arkansas booth.
211
00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:16,221
It was love at first sight, almost. Right?
212
00:14:16,288 --> 00:14:20,349
Well, sure. I'm from Texas,
but I sure love that Arkansas cooking.
213
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,890
- You love her, don't you?
- Well, sure, I reckon so.
214
00:14:23,963 --> 00:14:26,158
- Mary, you love him?
- Yes.
215
00:14:26,966 --> 00:14:31,130
- See, they're crazy about each other.
- Yeah, that's fine. Hey, Edwards.
216
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:33,535
We've got a romance going here.
They're ready for the orange blossoms.
217
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,837
- Well, how do you do? And congratulations.
- Save the teeth for the bandstand.
218
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:38,171
Get up there
and make the big announcement.
219
00:14:38,244 --> 00:14:42,044
Yes, sir, Mr. Chapman.
Come with me, you lucky, lucky people.
220
00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:46,842
Hey, you ain't gonna forget about the bed
with the built-in television set?
221
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:48,614
You'll spend your honeymoon in front of it.
222
00:14:51,624 --> 00:14:55,321
- Nice going, Steve, keep punching.
- I'll get the camera boys up to cover it.
223
00:14:57,129 --> 00:15:01,862
- Did you find a feature to write about yet?
- I haven't, and I don't intend to.
224
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:05,435
This bribing of poor, ignorant dopes
into a public wedding
225
00:15:05,504 --> 00:15:07,665
is cheap, cruel and disgusting.
226
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:10,573
This whole Wild West show is ridiculous,
and I want no part of it.
227
00:15:10,643 --> 00:15:13,305
Miss Allison,
your contract has six months to run.
228
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:17,281
My contract was made with Mr. Madison
before you took over the <i>Express.</i>
229
00:15:17,349 --> 00:15:18,543
If you don't like the way I run the paper,
230
00:15:18,617 --> 00:15:21,245
I have an agreement
that might be satisfactory to both of us.
231
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,811
Take six months' vacation with pay!
232
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:30,286
No, thank you, Mr. Chapman. I'll work it out.
I like my feature writing.
233
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,898
Thinking people like it, too,
234
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:37,561
even though there aren't many of them
buying the <i>Express</i> anymore. Good night!
235
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:43,605
That's it.
236
00:15:50,382 --> 00:15:53,613
<i>Friends, brothers and sisters</i>
<i>in the Lonely Hearts Club.</i>
237
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:55,677
<i>I have wonderful news for you,</i>
238
00:15:55,754 --> 00:15:59,747
<i>living proof that this magnificent club</i>
<i>is more than just a name.</i>
239
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:04,386
<i>But first, how would you like to meet</i>
<i>the great man who created your club?</i>
240
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:11,998
<i>Mr. Mark Chapman,</i>
<i>editor of the</i> New York Express.
241
00:16:12,071 --> 00:16:14,665
<i>Put the spotlight on him, over there!</i>
242
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,782
<i>Now here's the wonderful news.</i>
243
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:37,056
<i>Meet Mary and Joe, two happy people</i>
<i>who came here tonight as total strangers.</i>
244
00:16:37,463 --> 00:16:42,400
<i>They met, they danced, they found love.</i>
<i>They're going to get married!</i>
245
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,474
George?
246
00:16:57,516 --> 00:17:00,041
<i>- As the first couple who fell in love tonight...</i>
- George Grant!
247
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:01,814
<i>...Mary and Joe will receive...</i>
- It is you!
248
00:17:01,887 --> 00:17:03,752
<i>...compliments of the</i> Express...
- Charlotte.
249
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:05,119
<i>... a wedding night in a New York hotel...</i>
250
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:08,921
Finding you here...
I was so sure that you must be dead.
251
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:11,759
George Grant is dead.
252
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:14,259
Yes, I just heard.
253
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,134
- You're the...
- We can't talk here.
254
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:19,901
We can talk at my place, George.
255
00:17:20,806 --> 00:17:23,036
We've got a lot to talk about.
256
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:26,509
Go on out. I'll meet you at the side entrance.
257
00:17:32,785 --> 00:17:35,151
The years have been kinder to you.
258
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:38,621
What is it, 19, 20?
I used to keep track, but I don't...
259
00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:41,716
What's the difference?
Now that you found me, what do you want?
260
00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:57,401
May I?
261
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:07,375
- Come on, quit stalling around.
- What was it they called you at the ball?
262
00:18:07,453 --> 00:18:08,977
- Mark?
- Chapman.
263
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:15,755
When did you change your name, George?
Right after you left me?
264
00:18:17,062 --> 00:18:18,962
So I wouldn't find you?
265
00:18:19,631 --> 00:18:21,292
You knew I was so crazy about you
266
00:18:21,366 --> 00:18:24,028
I'd look and look and look,
didn't you, George?
267
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,697
Come on, get to it. What do you want?
268
00:18:27,739 --> 00:18:32,574
You're still in a hurry, aren't you?
That's the thing I remember best about you.
269
00:18:32,878 --> 00:18:37,645
The fellow who always ran and never walked.
Had to get places fast!
270
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,749
And you got places, didn't you, George?
271
00:18:44,323 --> 00:18:46,883
Here, you need some money?
Here's some for now.
272
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,860
Money? The payoff, George?
273
00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:54,497
How much? How much for each year?
274
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:58,633
How much for the agony
and the heartbreak and the fear?
275
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:03,141
- Charlotte, cut the ham act.
- This could be for the doctor bill, see?
276
00:19:06,578 --> 00:19:10,173
I was 20 years younger then,
took things more seriously.
277
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:14,142
I can't imagine how much.
278
00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:18,087
You're boring me now, like you always did.
279
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:20,388
People always bored you
280
00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:23,155
when you didn't have
any more use for them, didn't they, George?
281
00:19:23,228 --> 00:19:25,025
Bores and nuisances, I get rid of them.
282
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:27,497
Yeah, the same gentle way
you got rid of me.
283
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:28,692
My lawyer will get in touch with you.
284
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:31,702
He'll arrange a quiet divorce
and generous alimony.
285
00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:34,671
You're an important man now,
aren't you, George?
286
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:37,038
Editor of the <i>New York Express.</i>
287
00:19:38,977 --> 00:19:43,346
I never thought I'd be the wife of the editor
of a big New York newspaper.
288
00:19:43,415 --> 00:19:47,112
You're not, and don't get any ideas
about forcing yourself.
289
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:51,020
You've got nothing to gain by refusing me
a divorce now like you did 20 years ago.
290
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:56,759
I was young then and so foolishly in love.
I wanted so much to hold onto you.
291
00:19:57,496 --> 00:20:00,021
I made all of my mistakes when I was young,
and you were the biggest one.
292
00:20:00,098 --> 00:20:02,794
I fell for an attractive hunk of flesh.
293
00:20:04,169 --> 00:20:07,627
"Hold me." You didn't try to hang on.
You strangled me.
294
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,936
I'd smother to death with you.
295
00:20:15,747 --> 00:20:19,808
Turnabout's fair play.
When you walked out on me, I died inside.
296
00:20:20,352 --> 00:20:23,116
When I walk out of here, you're gonna die.
297
00:20:23,188 --> 00:20:27,852
Everything you worked for, grabbed for,
ruined people to get, it's all gonna die!
298
00:20:27,926 --> 00:20:29,393
You're a neurotic screwball!
299
00:20:29,461 --> 00:20:33,955
I'm gonna spread your story all over town.
Mark Chapman, the great editor!
300
00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:37,829
Wife deserter!
Living under a false name for 20 years.
301
00:20:39,137 --> 00:20:42,334
What else did you cover up
living under a phony name?
302
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:44,637
Your publishers are gonna love this.
303
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:49,044
And the other papers, they'll cut you
to ribbons with this information!
304
00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,470
Hi, honey, let me have the city room.
305
00:23:33,812 --> 00:23:37,179
This is Elkins.
If you need me, I'm over in Skinners.
306
00:23:38,316 --> 00:23:41,808
What? Having breakfast. Yeah, breakfast.
307
00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:53,323
Yes, Julie, after that fortunate
and historical meeting with Mark yesterday,
308
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:57,629
I had considerable difficulty
wooing the fickle Morpheus.
309
00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:01,939
That explains it.
Those bleeding eyes today.
310
00:24:02,474 --> 00:24:05,341
Well, I did have a couple
with the boys down below.
311
00:24:05,410 --> 00:24:08,277
A sort of celebration, and then farewell.
312
00:24:11,049 --> 00:24:13,574
You should have left them long ago, Charlie.
313
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:15,916
Any man who was big enough
in his day to rate that,
314
00:24:16,555 --> 00:24:20,389
a place in Skinner's Hall of Fame,
is still too big for Dead-End Street.
315
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:25,028
No regrets, Julie. My temporary alliance
with the denizens of the Bowery
316
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:29,863
has provided me with a deeper insight
into the whys and wherefores of mankind.
317
00:24:35,674 --> 00:24:38,006
A proven medical fact,
when the human system
318
00:24:38,076 --> 00:24:40,840
has been lengthily nurtured
on alcoholic stimulants,
319
00:24:40,912 --> 00:24:44,871
any abrupt cessation of same
will result in a negative reaction.
320
00:24:45,016 --> 00:24:46,381
Absolutely.
321
00:24:47,652 --> 00:24:52,385
But I'm tapering off. I'll be a firmly-rooted
passenger on the old water wagon
322
00:24:52,524 --> 00:24:54,856
by the time Mark's ready for me.
323
00:24:57,295 --> 00:25:01,561
Charlie, don't bet everything
on Mark Chapman.
324
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:06,666
He won't let me down.
First time I felt ready, I asked him for a job,
325
00:25:06,938 --> 00:25:10,032
and what happened?
He offered me one, didn't he?
326
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:15,173
- Mr. Lonely Heart.
- Compliments of the <i>Express,</i> Myrtle.
327
00:25:15,747 --> 00:25:18,545
- I see you read. You stick with the radio.
- Yeah.
328
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:20,744
Hey, McCleary,
I read that rag of yours by accident.
329
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:23,287
Yeah, me, too.
From ax murder to Ionely hearts.
330
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:25,653
What are you trying to prove,
you're versatile or something?
331
00:25:25,724 --> 00:25:27,885
What are you gentlemen
reading our rag for?
332
00:25:27,959 --> 00:25:30,427
Trying to find out
what's happening that's news?
333
00:25:30,495 --> 00:25:32,929
Good morning, kiddies. What's the word?
334
00:25:35,066 --> 00:25:36,624
Silly, that's the word.
335
00:25:36,701 --> 00:25:38,635
Still a heaping bunch of joy,
aren't you, princess?
336
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:43,663
Lonely Hearts Ball. Journalism has certainly
changed since the old days.
337
00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:47,302
What happened to you last night?
Pulled a fast fade on me.
338
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:50,712
- Don't tell me you actually missed me?
- I needed protection.
339
00:25:50,782 --> 00:25:53,250
Some of our love-hungry subscribers
got mixed up.
340
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:56,014
They were offering me deep-freezes
and vacuum cleaners.
341
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:59,318
- I'm surprised you refused.
- How do you know I did?
342
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:02,849
Certainly heavy coverage
on the unrequited passion set.
343
00:26:03,261 --> 00:26:06,924
Our love and romance edition, Charlie.
Even the crossword puzzle.
344
00:26:06,998 --> 00:26:08,966
But nothing from the Allison corner.
345
00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:12,335
Not interested in romance, Julie?
346
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:16,465
Not the kind that blossoms
on free gas stoves and television sets.
347
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:21,235
- About that Lonely Heart gag, I've got a...
- Steve, on the radio.
348
00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:27,652
- Julie. Hi, Charlie.
- Hi, Biddle.
349
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:31,086
Police call. Dead dame in a flat
on Third Avenue. Are you interested?
350
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:33,090
Well, she'd probably be a cheerful change.
351
00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:36,685
I'm still getting the icebox treatment
from the female on my left.
352
00:26:36,761 --> 00:26:40,162
After them scarecrows I shot last night,
I figure my luck's gotta change.
353
00:26:40,231 --> 00:26:43,428
Even dead, this dame's bound
to have more glamour.
354
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:45,467
Let's give her a look.
355
00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:48,801
Thanks for the coffee, kitten.
356
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:03,785
Another scarecrow. I'm batting goose eggs.
357
00:27:05,323 --> 00:27:07,848
Dames have got to make trouble
even when they die, don't they, pal?
358
00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:11,384
Yeah, water downstairs and water upstairs.
359
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:14,531
Probably wanted a room
with a swimming pool.
360
00:27:14,966 --> 00:27:16,866
Hey, Davis, what are you doing here?
361
00:27:16,935 --> 00:27:21,031
I just wanted to see if I couldn't get
to one of our calls before you did.
362
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:22,471
This isn't a homicide?
363
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:24,531
We got a new man
on the beat here, McCleary.
364
00:27:24,609 --> 00:27:26,167
He's built like you between the ears.
365
00:27:26,244 --> 00:27:29,975
He saw a hole in the back of the dame's head
and figured she was slugged.
366
00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:31,515
What's your guess, Lieutenant?
367
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:33,949
She put the hole
in the back of her head herself?
368
00:27:34,019 --> 00:27:36,783
Yeah, wise-eyes, that's it. That's it exactly.
369
00:27:36,855 --> 00:27:40,291
She slipped in the tub
and opened her skull on a faucet.
370
00:27:40,358 --> 00:27:43,953
- What was the lady's name, Sherlock?
- The landlady says Jane Jones.
371
00:27:44,029 --> 00:27:45,360
- Do you believe it?
- Yeah, I believe it.
372
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:47,762
I'm fresh out of nursery school.
373
00:27:48,466 --> 00:27:52,402
Jane Jones, alias Jane Doe.
Say, Dave, you're really humming.
374
00:27:53,204 --> 00:27:56,401
Look, nuisance, if you so much as make
these bedsprings squeak once again,
375
00:27:56,474 --> 00:28:00,308
- I'll throw you in the tub with the dame.
- Lieutenant, please.
376
00:28:04,616 --> 00:28:08,177
You're wrong, Dave.
She was murdered. Clear as your head.
377
00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:10,347
Murdered for her money.
378
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:13,949
Why, this lady must have spent easily
six or seven dollars a year on clothes.
379
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:15,492
Why don't you go home, McCleary?
380
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,462
There's nothing around here
to interest a big newsman like you.
381
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:27,827
Look, junior, keep your nose
in your own business, or I'll run you in
382
00:28:27,906 --> 00:28:31,137
- for obstruction, suspicion and vagrancy.
- Why, sure, Dave.
383
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:33,837
I just thought there might be something
in here to help identify her.
384
00:28:33,912 --> 00:28:35,243
No suitcase, huh?
385
00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:41,715
- In there, boys.
- Okay, Steve, I got all I need.
386
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:46,957
Thanks, Dave.
387
00:28:49,127 --> 00:28:52,062
- No, not you two again.
- What do you guys do,
388
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:54,758
smell these things
before the police call is even in?
389
00:28:54,833 --> 00:28:57,301
Try to forget your mugs.
There's a lady in the bathroom.
390
00:28:57,368 --> 00:29:00,531
- Yes, so knock before entering.
- Coming through.
391
00:29:10,381 --> 00:29:12,406
- What'd you pinch that for?
- Look familiar?
392
00:29:12,484 --> 00:29:15,544
I had them in front of me all night, didn't I?
393
00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:18,747
Hey, that's off a Lonely Hearts badge!
394
00:29:18,823 --> 00:29:22,554
Yeah. How many pictures
did you and the boys take at the ball?
395
00:29:22,627 --> 00:29:24,925
Three, maybe four hundred. I don't know.
396
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:27,260
Rush the print of Miss Bathtub
through the lab.
397
00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:28,594
Then check it against the others.
398
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:30,964
- See if you can match them up, okay?
- Sure.
399
00:29:31,035 --> 00:29:34,937
- Shouldn't take more than a week.
- Yeah, but I want it done in an hour.
400
00:29:35,006 --> 00:29:36,701
- I'll see you at the office.
- Where are you going?
401
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:39,903
I'm gonna hitch a ride to the morgue.
If you match them, call me.
402
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,674
How about a ride to the morgue, Pete?
403
00:30:04,969 --> 00:30:07,096
Hey, Needle Nellie, anybody home?
404
00:30:07,172 --> 00:30:08,662
Hey, handsome.
405
00:30:09,007 --> 00:30:11,271
- How you doing, sweetheart?
- Doing all right, handsome.
406
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:13,037
Come here and give us a kiss.
407
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,815
- How's business at the morgue, Nellie?
- Dead.
408
00:30:19,551 --> 00:30:21,178
Business is dead.
409
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:25,621
- It's good to see you, handsome.
- Likewise, sweetheart.
410
00:30:25,690 --> 00:30:27,385
A long time between dates.
411
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:30,621
But right now,
I come seeking your expert female advice.
412
00:30:30,695 --> 00:30:34,131
Anybody that's lived as long as me
can give it. Shoot.
413
00:30:34,732 --> 00:30:37,565
Nellie, if you had just one dress
to your name
414
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:39,535
and you'd fastened something onto it
with a safety pin,
415
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:40,969
and maybe you were in a hurry,
416
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,008
would you take time to undo the pin,
or would you rip the whole thing off?
417
00:30:44,075 --> 00:30:46,305
- This is a riddle?
- No, seriously.
418
00:30:46,377 --> 00:30:51,041
Well, if I had 10 dresses and the house
was burning down, I'd still undo the pin.
419
00:30:51,115 --> 00:30:52,639
Any lady would.
420
00:30:53,017 --> 00:30:55,485
That's what I figured.
I just wanted a woman to confirm it.
421
00:30:55,553 --> 00:30:57,453
I love you, Nellie. I love you.
422
00:30:57,522 --> 00:31:00,047
- Where you going, handsome?
- I gotta see the doc.
423
00:31:00,124 --> 00:31:01,955
Maybe I can get you some business, Nellie.
424
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:11,364
Did you get those ringside ducats
I sent you?
425
00:31:11,436 --> 00:31:13,427
Steve! Yeah, it was a great fight.
426
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:15,438
Mishke really tore that Haybelly apart,
didn't he?
427
00:31:15,506 --> 00:31:19,840
Had so much blood spattered on my glasses,
I missed the knockout punch.
428
00:31:20,478 --> 00:31:24,175
Look, Doc,
they just brought in an accidental death.
429
00:31:24,249 --> 00:31:27,047
- They're putting her in the freezer right now.
- So?
430
00:31:27,118 --> 00:31:30,110
So, I'd like you to give her
the onceover for me. An autopsy.
431
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:33,646
Accidents are out of my province.
You know that, Steve.
432
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:35,383
It's going to be
a great World Series this year.
433
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:37,087
Yeah, that it is.
434
00:31:37,528 --> 00:31:41,362
I don't suppose you'd be interested
in viewing the festivities from a box seat?
435
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:47,132
Are you trying to bribe a city official?
436
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:51,135
Right behind first base, Doc.
437
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:11,028
Yeah. Yeah, get some prints ready.
I think we've got our front page.
438
00:32:11,095 --> 00:32:14,792
Well, this is your lucky day. Drop back,
I want you to mark my racing form.
439
00:32:14,866 --> 00:32:16,766
Get the door, will you?
440
00:32:17,368 --> 00:32:20,064
Yeah, and don't forget, I smoke cigars.
441
00:32:20,838 --> 00:32:24,831
- Hey, Steve, let me wipe those off a little.
- Wipe them tomorrow.
442
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:32,008
Will you smile again
if I take you to dinner tonight?
443
00:32:32,083 --> 00:32:34,847
- A little celebration coming up.
- What's the celebration?
444
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:37,649
Another McCleary scoop.
Getting monotonous, isn't it?
445
00:32:37,722 --> 00:32:42,557
That dinner. A two-party celebration,
or are you bringing a friend?
446
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:44,559
Just you and me alone.
447
00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:47,825
I'll smile again.
What are the fragile treasures?
448
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:52,060
Very rare items.
Pictures of a dame with her mouth shut.
449
00:32:53,071 --> 00:32:55,972
- Joey, catch the door, will you?
- All right.
450
00:32:58,676 --> 00:33:01,270
I've been waiting a long time
for a chance to say this.
451
00:33:01,346 --> 00:33:03,439
- Stop the presses!
- Did you get a morning-after story
452
00:33:03,514 --> 00:33:05,004
on any of those couples
we married last night?
453
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:07,483
I got a story from one
of the Lonely Heart Ball guests, all right.
454
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:11,079
But she didn't get married last night.
She got murdered!
455
00:33:19,964 --> 00:33:23,263
- Who is she?
- A Jane Doe. Nobody knows her real name.
456
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:25,996
The police think she slipped in the bathtub
and bashed her head in,
457
00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:30,507
- or they did until a little while ago.
- But you knew better all the time?
458
00:33:30,575 --> 00:33:32,941
After Doc O'Hanlon got through
cutting her up for me.
459
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:36,538
She died between 9:00 and 12:00 last night,
before she went under in the tub.
460
00:33:36,614 --> 00:33:38,479
No water in her lungs.
461
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:40,283
Did he find anything else?
462
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:44,788
Yeah, her killer was a man, middle-aged,
fair complexion. Had brown hair.
463
00:33:45,390 --> 00:33:47,620
O'Hanlon found that
in scraping under her fingernails.
464
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:50,593
You ran into this
just by playing a hunch, huh?
465
00:33:50,661 --> 00:33:53,858
A string from a Lonely Heart badge
was on her dress in the closet.
466
00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:57,628
The badge had been torn off.
I followed through from there.
467
00:34:00,371 --> 00:34:04,364
Well, is this a story,
this Lonely Heart murdered after the ball?
468
00:34:04,575 --> 00:34:06,805
Can you sell papers with this?
469
00:34:10,248 --> 00:34:13,342
Baxter, Jordan, Allison,
get in here right away.
470
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:15,477
They didn't know her name, you said?
471
00:34:15,553 --> 00:34:18,920
Well, she called herself Jane Jones.
How phony can you get?
472
00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:20,014
We've just been struck by lightning.
473
00:34:20,091 --> 00:34:22,025
It's a great follow-up
for the Lonely Hearts Ball.
474
00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:24,118
Tell them about it, Steve.
475
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:30,997
We'll call her Miss Lonely Heart,
no other name. Alone in the city, friendless.
476
00:34:31,536 --> 00:34:34,801
She went to our shindig last night,
hunting for a soul mate.
477
00:34:34,872 --> 00:34:37,363
Maybe she found one, the wrong one.
478
00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:39,872
Anyway, she left early,
and sometime before midnight
479
00:34:39,944 --> 00:34:41,343
she was beaten to death in her room
480
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:44,540
by a brown-haired, middle-aged man
of fair complexion.
481
00:34:44,615 --> 00:34:46,480
A smash follow-up is right.
482
00:34:46,551 --> 00:34:49,247
The killer had a head full of brains.
Good nerves.
483
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,723
He lugged her to the bathroom,
stripped her, tossed the body in the tub.
484
00:34:54,459 --> 00:34:58,520
No. No, he stood the body in the tub.
Aimed, let go!
485
00:34:58,696 --> 00:35:03,190
Bang, her head cracks the faucet.
Almost perfect crime. Ordinary accident.
486
00:35:04,035 --> 00:35:06,936
He's working smartly,
a guy with imagination.
487
00:35:07,004 --> 00:35:10,963
He takes her slip, stockings,
washes them, hangs them up to dry.
488
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,000
He wipes his prints off everywhere.
489
00:35:13,077 --> 00:35:16,274
He starts getting rid of anything
that could identify her.
490
00:35:16,347 --> 00:35:18,907
He took a ring off her,
probably a wedding or engagement ring.
491
00:35:18,983 --> 00:35:22,111
- How do you know that?
- Whitish circle, third finger, left hand.
492
00:35:22,186 --> 00:35:25,587
- O'Hanlon spotted it at the morgue.
- All right, go on, go on.
493
00:35:25,656 --> 00:35:27,954
Well, he grabs any other personal items
that might identify her
494
00:35:28,025 --> 00:35:29,856
and throws them in her suitcase and blows.
495
00:35:29,927 --> 00:35:32,361
- How do you know she's got a suitcase?
- Every dame's got a suitcase.
496
00:35:32,430 --> 00:35:34,022
But there wasn't one
in Miss Lonely Heart's room.
497
00:35:34,098 --> 00:35:35,861
This'll kick up the circulation.
498
00:35:36,701 --> 00:35:40,137
We can make the 5:00 edition exclusive.
Steve can do the lead story.
499
00:35:40,204 --> 00:35:42,263
Jordan, I want three column cuts
of the dame's picture at the ball
500
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:44,433
and the murder photo.
Allison, write me a sob story,
501
00:35:44,509 --> 00:35:46,568
"Miss Lonely Heart
won't be Ionely anymore."
502
00:35:46,644 --> 00:35:47,736
Fine job, Steve.
503
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,303
Sure, it's a great job,
but we're gonna top it.
504
00:35:50,381 --> 00:35:51,439
How?
505
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,513
- Bury her.
- Bury her?
506
00:35:57,555 --> 00:35:59,682
The best story I ever dug up, and he tops it.
507
00:35:59,757 --> 00:36:02,157
By 5:00 tonight, Miss Lonely Heart
will be selling newspapers for us
508
00:36:02,226 --> 00:36:05,923
on every street corner in Manhattan.
Now, go on, get going.
509
00:37:42,126 --> 00:37:43,787
Be seeing you, Humpty.
510
00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:31,269
Look, I've shown you everything in the shop.
That's the last one I've got!
511
00:38:35,513 --> 00:38:36,605
Mark!
512
00:38:39,283 --> 00:38:41,217
- Mark, old boy!
- How are you, Charlie.
513
00:38:41,285 --> 00:38:45,085
What distasteful mission brings you to this
unholy neighborhood, Mark, my friend?
514
00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:46,589
I'm just looking around.
I like to keep my hand in,
515
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,124
even though I am strapped
to a desk right now.
516
00:38:48,192 --> 00:38:50,126
You wouldn't mean you're keeping
your hand in by working
517
00:38:50,194 --> 00:38:51,821
on this Lonely Heart murder,
would you, now, Mark?
518
00:38:51,896 --> 00:38:53,955
I've got a staff to take care of that for me.
519
00:38:54,031 --> 00:38:56,727
You can't kid an old newshound
like me, Mark.
520
00:38:56,801 --> 00:39:00,999
Still following our old formula,
first check the hock shops for a clue?
521
00:39:01,072 --> 00:39:03,336
Didn't wanna tip your hand
to those cops in there, did you?
522
00:39:03,407 --> 00:39:05,637
I tell you I'm not down here on business.
Now stop playing hawkshaw!
523
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:08,770
Let me show you Charlie Barnes
still has the master's touch
524
00:39:08,846 --> 00:39:11,713
- when it comes to following up a lead, Mark.
- Tell me about it later, will you,
525
00:39:11,782 --> 00:39:15,684
- when you come back to work for me?
- You're afraid I'll get drunk and tip the story.
526
00:39:15,753 --> 00:39:18,881
- I'm tapering off, Mark.
- That's fine, Charlie. I'll call you.
527
00:39:18,956 --> 00:39:23,825
Let me work this with you, Mark. I know
this whole district from gutter to rum-heads.
528
00:39:23,894 --> 00:39:26,226
Pete in the pawnshop's
an honored friend of mine.
529
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:27,992
- Yeah.
- I can get him to work with me and...
530
00:39:28,065 --> 00:39:30,898
- Hello, Charlie!
- Go away.
531
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:35,400
- Here, Charlie, here's something to count.
- I don't want a handout, Mark.
532
00:39:35,473 --> 00:39:37,498
- I want to work.
- You can pay me later. I'll call you, Charlie.
533
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:39,338
Mark, let me help...
534
00:40:13,544 --> 00:40:14,704
Hang onto them, Pete.
535
00:40:14,779 --> 00:40:17,873
We'll drop back payday
and look them over again.
536
00:40:25,022 --> 00:40:26,489
Them guys should wear glasses.
537
00:40:26,557 --> 00:40:29,185
They do so much looking,
but never no buying.
538
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:31,125
Get this for me, Pete.
539
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:34,356
Taking something out for a change
instead of putting it in, Charlie?
540
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:37,526
I admit to the novelty of the occasion, Peter.
541
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:50,109
- Hey, you didn't hock this with me.
- Doing a favor for a friend.
542
00:40:52,082 --> 00:40:56,178
Them cops. You know, if someday
they should buy something from me, I'd...
543
00:40:56,253 --> 00:40:59,620
No, that'd be bad. I'd drop dead.
544
00:41:02,226 --> 00:41:06,185
You know, Charlie, I ought to be
in some other kind of business.
545
00:41:06,697 --> 00:41:10,497
You really meet a very poor class of people
in this business.
546
00:41:10,768 --> 00:41:13,259
Not meaning anything personal,
you understand.
547
00:41:13,337 --> 00:41:16,773
But I'm always dealing with people
who are in trouble,
548
00:41:17,274 --> 00:41:21,608
people who gotta hock something.
People who gotta buy something cheap.
549
00:41:24,582 --> 00:41:28,109
I don't like cheap things.
I never did and I never will.
550
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:34,356
I should have been big fur man, maybe,
or big jewelry man.
551
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,651
Then I could deal with rich people.
552
00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:42,554
That's the kind of people
I really prefer to deal with.
553
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:47,694
- Hey! How much is on this ticket?
- Two bucks.
554
00:41:58,249 --> 00:41:59,841
Here, sign here.
555
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:08,424
You know, sometimes they say
even the rich people aren't happy.
556
00:42:08,492 --> 00:42:11,017
But how that could be, I don't know.
557
00:42:12,296 --> 00:42:15,857
Thank you, Peter.
Thank you for being in business!
558
00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:21,433
Thank you very much.
559
00:42:33,517 --> 00:42:35,041
A shot, Heeney.
560
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:38,614
You look like your blood pressure's boiling,
Charlie. What's the matter?
561
00:42:38,689 --> 00:42:40,680
The classic irony of the age, Heeney.
562
00:42:40,758 --> 00:42:43,659
Charlie Barnes, a stewbum,
rocking the newspaper world
563
00:42:43,727 --> 00:42:46,457
like he never did in all his sober days.
564
00:43:00,411 --> 00:43:02,208
- Composing.
- Yes, sir.
565
00:43:04,481 --> 00:43:07,712
Yes. Yes, madam,
I have two answers for you.
566
00:43:08,185 --> 00:43:11,313
First, you shouldn't talk
to strange men in bars.
567
00:43:11,388 --> 00:43:13,982
Second, because he asked you to marry him
568
00:43:14,058 --> 00:43:16,356
then hit you with a pretzel dish
when you refused
569
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:19,191
isn't conclusive proof
he's our Lonely Heart Killer,
570
00:43:19,263 --> 00:43:21,697
but thanks for calling, lady. Bye.
571
00:43:23,334 --> 00:43:26,326
Phony or not,
those tips belong to the police.
572
00:43:26,704 --> 00:43:30,299
When are you going to get rid of the idea
you're wearing an invisible badge?
573
00:43:30,374 --> 00:43:34,140
Julie Allison. Hello, Charlie. How are you?
574
00:43:36,714 --> 00:43:38,181
The Lonely Heart murder?
575
00:43:38,248 --> 00:43:42,844
And you've got to meet me right away.
We have to figure out how to handle this.
576
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,514
I know the killer, and it's dynamite.
577
00:43:46,757 --> 00:43:48,952
Well, Charlie,
that story is really Steve McCleary's.
578
00:43:49,026 --> 00:43:52,587
- I think you'd better talk to...
- No, no, Julie, I want you to have this.
579
00:43:52,663 --> 00:43:55,393
Now I can repay you, Julie child,
for everything.
580
00:43:55,466 --> 00:43:59,596
Julie, this is so... It's so tremendous,
it'll put both of us on top.
581
00:44:02,272 --> 00:44:04,035
What? What, Julie?
582
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:08,835
Okay, okay, both of you meet me.
583
00:44:08,912 --> 00:44:11,540
Maybe we will need
somebody like McCleary.
584
00:44:11,615 --> 00:44:14,175
Steve, Charlie says
he has information on the murder.
585
00:44:14,251 --> 00:44:18,654
- He's awfully excited about something.
- About two quarts full, probably.
586
00:44:19,890 --> 00:44:21,881
Yeah, Charlie, what's up?
587
00:44:22,726 --> 00:44:25,695
I wanted Julie to have this,
but she insists you be on in it.
588
00:44:25,763 --> 00:44:27,663
I mean you be in on it.
589
00:44:27,965 --> 00:44:30,297
- What's the matter, Charlie?
- No.
590
00:44:31,368 --> 00:44:34,462
- What? You're not sore, are you?
- No, go away!
591
00:44:36,006 --> 00:44:38,099
What? What have I got?
592
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:40,939
I've got the Lonely Heart Killer for you,
that's what!
593
00:44:41,011 --> 00:44:44,777
Gee, Charlie, that's great.
You getting him crocked so he'll confess?
594
00:44:44,848 --> 00:44:48,807
I haven't got him. I know who he is.
595
00:44:54,858 --> 00:44:55,950
What?
596
00:44:59,563 --> 00:45:03,465
Yes, I'm in a saloon.
I'm in Heeney's. But I'm not drunk.
597
00:45:04,034 --> 00:45:07,128
I've just taken the hottest story
of the century out of hock, and I'm gonna...
598
00:45:08,038 --> 00:45:11,064
He's really flying tonight.
See what your 10 bucks did?
599
00:45:11,141 --> 00:45:15,009
Stop treating him like some
weak-minded child. Listen to what he's got.
600
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:19,482
- He's not this excited for nothing.
- You know what he's got? The DTs.
601
00:45:19,616 --> 00:45:21,675
Charlie Barnes, tanked to the eyeballs,
602
00:45:21,752 --> 00:45:24,880
says he just took the Lonely Heart
murder solution out of hock.
603
00:45:26,056 --> 00:45:29,583
Hello, Charlie?
Still there? Let's start all over again.
604
00:45:30,294 --> 00:45:34,788
Listen, you mental midget. The only reason
I'm calling the <i>Express</i> is Julie Allison.
605
00:45:34,865 --> 00:45:37,732
Before I'd give this story
to an insolent young pup like you,
606
00:45:37,801 --> 00:45:39,792
I'd take it to the <i>Daily Leader!</i>
607
00:45:39,870 --> 00:45:42,304
Charlie's mad now.
Gonna sell it to the <i>Leader.</i>
608
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:46,069
- Hang up on the drunken slob.
- Julie? She just left.
609
00:45:46,477 --> 00:45:48,570
I guess we'll just have to read your story
in the <i>Leader</i> tomorrow.
610
00:45:48,645 --> 00:45:50,772
- So long, pal.
- Give me that.
611
00:45:51,815 --> 00:45:53,077
- Hello? Hello?
- Don't be silly, Julie.
612
00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:55,141
He'll just keep you up all night
listening to his fairytales.
613
00:45:55,219 --> 00:45:59,349
- Where was he calling from?
- Bellevue psycho ward, I think he said.
614
00:46:00,257 --> 00:46:01,747
Your 10 bucks.
615
00:47:13,697 --> 00:47:15,460
- Keep this for me, Heeney.
- Why, sure, Charlie.
616
00:47:15,532 --> 00:47:17,056
A couple hours.
617
00:47:17,868 --> 00:47:20,359
One more, Heeney. One for the road.
618
00:48:05,215 --> 00:48:06,739
Hello, Charlie.
619
00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:13,617
Mark. I thought you were still down
at the Bowery.
620
00:48:15,692 --> 00:48:18,024
I hear you got a story, Charlie.
621
00:48:18,195 --> 00:48:20,060
Where'd you hear that?
622
00:48:20,597 --> 00:48:25,364
- Isn't that what you told McCleary?
- Why, I was just schmoozing him, I...
623
00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:28,295
Lining him up for a little touch.
624
00:48:28,372 --> 00:48:31,432
I gave you some money.
What did you do with it?
625
00:48:31,775 --> 00:48:33,333
You didn't, by any chance,
find a pawn ticket
626
00:48:33,410 --> 00:48:36,379
- mixed in with the money, did you, Charlie?
- Pawn ticket? Why, I...
627
00:48:36,446 --> 00:48:40,177
Did you use the money
to get the story out of hock, Charlie?
628
00:48:41,218 --> 00:48:44,585
You've got something that belongs to me.
Where is it?
629
00:48:45,389 --> 00:48:47,220
You were on the way to the <i>Leader</i>
with some evidence.
630
00:48:47,291 --> 00:48:49,725
Where is it, Charlie? Where is it?
631
00:49:01,905 --> 00:49:04,738
It's a wonderful story, isn't it, Charlie?
632
00:49:05,509 --> 00:49:07,909
You wanted to be a big man, Mark.
633
00:49:08,745 --> 00:49:12,476
This will make you famous
beyond your most ambitious dreams.
634
00:49:13,884 --> 00:49:18,412
Great story?
I've waited all my life for a story like this.
635
00:49:19,456 --> 00:49:23,483
Well, you've got it, Charlie.
But you're not going to write it.
636
00:49:27,130 --> 00:49:30,622
You're crazy, Mark.
Twenty years you've covered the news.
637
00:49:30,701 --> 00:49:33,761
Seen the bright boys try this. It never works.
638
00:49:56,493 --> 00:49:59,587
We just heard about Charlie Barnes.
Rotten deal.
639
00:50:00,163 --> 00:50:04,293
It's hard when it's someone like Charlie
you've known for 22 years.
640
00:50:04,401 --> 00:50:06,164
I knew him 25 years.
641
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:10,167
I never expected to see him
laying on a slab in this place.
642
00:50:10,507 --> 00:50:15,001
Is that right, Doc? Was he found
in an alleyway across from the <i>Daily Leader?</i>
643
00:50:15,078 --> 00:50:17,205
- Steve...
- Yes, that's right.
644
00:50:17,447 --> 00:50:20,439
The <i>Daily Leader.</i> He had a story!
645
00:50:20,517 --> 00:50:23,509
But he was taking your clever,
insolent, fresh-guy advice
646
00:50:23,587 --> 00:50:27,216
- and giving it to the <i>Leader!</i>
- He was drunk, Julie. How could I know...
647
00:50:27,290 --> 00:50:29,656
Charlie Barnes never got so drunk
he didn't know a story!
648
00:50:29,726 --> 00:50:33,492
Or that he'd try to peddle
a phony tip to a newspaper! But you...
649
00:50:33,563 --> 00:50:35,394
You couldn't bother listening to him!
650
00:50:35,465 --> 00:50:38,798
You and that newsprint hero of yours,
Mark Chapman.
651
00:50:39,269 --> 00:50:41,032
You couldn't expect us to believe
that Charlie Barnes
652
00:50:41,104 --> 00:50:43,129
had any real information
on the murder, Julie.
653
00:50:43,206 --> 00:50:45,231
We still don't know that he did.
654
00:50:45,308 --> 00:50:49,711
If you and that stone-hearted, glory seeking,
"I am the great Mark Chapman"
655
00:50:49,780 --> 00:50:51,771
had thrown Charlie
the miserable crumb of respect
656
00:50:51,848 --> 00:50:54,510
of just listening to him, he'd be alive today!
657
00:50:54,584 --> 00:50:58,748
Julie, maybe you're right.
Maybe it is partly my fault Charlie's dead.
658
00:50:58,822 --> 00:51:01,882
I'm sorry. Really sorry. But what can I do?
659
00:51:02,392 --> 00:51:06,123
Don't go soft! Show Chapman
you're a chip off the old block.
660
00:51:06,596 --> 00:51:08,655
Have him give Charlie a fancy funeral.
661
00:51:08,732 --> 00:51:11,997
Great headline.
"The <i>Express</i> buries its cast-offs."
662
00:51:12,436 --> 00:51:14,097
It'll sell papers!
663
00:51:27,350 --> 00:51:31,912
Kenny, rewrite that one paragraph, will you?
Allison had a bad night. Yeah.
664
00:51:32,289 --> 00:51:35,087
I just got yesterday's figures
from circulation, Mark.
665
00:51:35,158 --> 00:51:38,491
Six hundred and ninety-six thousand.
You're moving up there.
666
00:51:38,562 --> 00:51:41,292
Looks as though it's going to cost
the <i>Express</i> some bonus money before long.
667
00:51:41,364 --> 00:51:44,765
Quicker than you can say,
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Stockholder Rawley!"
668
00:51:44,835 --> 00:51:46,666
We're only starting,
Mr. Madison, only starting.
669
00:51:46,736 --> 00:51:48,260
That's the spirit!
670
00:51:48,338 --> 00:51:50,272
When you get to the editor's chair,
remember one thing.
671
00:51:50,340 --> 00:51:54,743
You're a hero with a lifetime job,
as long as the circulation is rising.
672
00:51:55,045 --> 00:51:59,379
- What have you got there?
- Something that will keep circulation rising.
673
00:51:59,716 --> 00:52:01,581
Charlie Barnes' story.
674
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:04,378
What are you talking about?
675
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:06,820
Charlie wasn't near the <i>Daily Leader</i>
by accident, Mark.
676
00:52:06,890 --> 00:52:08,790
He had something to print.
677
00:52:08,859 --> 00:52:11,419
I couldn't find it in his effects
at the morgue this morning,
678
00:52:11,495 --> 00:52:15,932
but I found it at Heeney's bar,
the joint Charlie phoned from last night.
679
00:52:16,233 --> 00:52:19,134
Half a pawnshop ticket was still on the bag.
680
00:52:19,236 --> 00:52:21,431
Pete's Hock Shop. I checked it.
681
00:52:21,505 --> 00:52:24,838
Charlie came in the pawnshop last night
with a claim check.
682
00:52:24,908 --> 00:52:27,536
Said he was unhocking it for a friend.
683
00:52:28,478 --> 00:52:31,743
Well, what's in the bag?
Miss Lonely Heart's name and address?
684
00:52:32,916 --> 00:52:36,477
Better than that, Mark.
Much better than that.
685
00:52:38,054 --> 00:52:40,579
A picture of the guy who killed her.
686
00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:52,362
A picture?
You can't even see the guy's face!
687
00:52:52,435 --> 00:52:54,596
What's the matter, Mark?
This is the first real lead we've got.
688
00:52:54,671 --> 00:52:56,263
The way you talked,
I thought we had it all sewed up.
689
00:52:56,339 --> 00:52:59,604
Sure, it's a lead, but it's a thin one.
How much does this give us?
690
00:52:59,676 --> 00:53:04,773
Well, we're certain the dame had a husband.
They were married in 1931 in Connecticut.
691
00:53:05,248 --> 00:53:09,048
- The husband's the guy who killed her.
- How do you make that?
692
00:53:09,419 --> 00:53:11,580
The ring mark on her finger
must have been a wedding ring.
693
00:53:11,655 --> 00:53:14,055
The inscription inside
could have identified him.
694
00:53:14,124 --> 00:53:16,388
And he grabbed the pawn ticket
figuring she'd hocked some belongings
695
00:53:16,459 --> 00:53:18,893
- that might peg him.
- Makes sense.
696
00:53:19,396 --> 00:53:22,194
Charlie got the pawn ticket from the killer.
697
00:53:22,265 --> 00:53:25,701
He must have been with him sometime,
someplace, yesterday.
698
00:53:25,769 --> 00:53:28,329
A lot of people
could have seen them together, right?
699
00:53:28,405 --> 00:53:29,770
Could have.
700
00:53:31,141 --> 00:53:33,609
Splash this picture
on the front page tonight.
701
00:53:33,677 --> 00:53:35,975
Offer a reward for information.
702
00:53:39,149 --> 00:53:41,674
"Lonely Heart Killer strikes again."
703
00:53:43,153 --> 00:53:45,246
When you write the story,
say that Barnes was working on this case
704
00:53:45,322 --> 00:53:46,346
undercover for the <i>Express.</i>
705
00:53:46,423 --> 00:53:49,620
He got too close to the killer
and died in the line of duty.
706
00:53:49,693 --> 00:53:50,887
Mark, I don't know, it...
707
00:53:50,961 --> 00:53:54,863
Nobody can deny it. It'll help sell papers.
We'll offer $1,000.
708
00:53:55,232 --> 00:53:58,360
Look, kid, don't pin your hopes
on anybody being able
709
00:53:58,435 --> 00:54:02,030
to spot the guy from this.
Unless they got x-ray eyes.
710
00:54:02,339 --> 00:54:04,034
I'm sure Charlie connected
the guy in the picture
711
00:54:04,107 --> 00:54:08,601
with the bird who gave him the pawn ticket.
I'm going to fine-tooth the Bowery myself.
712
00:54:08,678 --> 00:54:11,374
It's even money
that's where Charlie ran into our man.
713
00:54:11,448 --> 00:54:12,972
Good luck, kid.
714
00:54:44,314 --> 00:54:47,875
- Well, I got them for you, McCleary.
- Good work, Heeney.
715
00:55:05,368 --> 00:55:09,634
Well, this does it. I'll never touch
another drop the rest of my life.
716
00:55:17,547 --> 00:55:19,515
'Course some of them
been sucking on the bottle all night,
717
00:55:19,582 --> 00:55:21,516
but they can still stand up.
718
00:55:21,584 --> 00:55:24,747
- They all knew Charlie?
- Yeah, they all knew him.
719
00:55:25,088 --> 00:55:29,081
If you give McCleary here
any bum information, I'll brain you.
720
00:55:29,793 --> 00:55:31,818
And I might even do worse.
721
00:55:31,961 --> 00:55:35,522
No more free shots
when you're seeing little red spiders.
722
00:55:35,999 --> 00:55:40,095
How many of you boys saw Charlie Barnes
the day he was killed? Raise your hands.
723
00:55:40,170 --> 00:55:44,197
All right, raise your mitts,
them that seen Charlie day before yesterday.
724
00:55:44,274 --> 00:55:45,366
Good.
725
00:55:48,478 --> 00:55:50,446
- Where did you see him?
- See who?
726
00:55:50,513 --> 00:55:54,279
- This guy must be used to talking to mirrors.
- Charlie Barnes.
727
00:55:54,351 --> 00:55:58,253
I seen him come out of a joint
where he flopped in the morning.
728
00:56:00,824 --> 00:56:02,815
You, where'd you see him?
729
00:56:03,460 --> 00:56:05,826
- Humpty O'Dougal's saloon.
- What time?
730
00:56:05,895 --> 00:56:10,389
In the afternoon. Late in the afternoon.
Charlie had a nice little bun on.
731
00:56:10,934 --> 00:56:11,992
Was he with anybody?
732
00:56:12,068 --> 00:56:14,036
With anybody?
Sure, he was with somebody.
733
00:56:14,104 --> 00:56:16,834
Charlie never drank by himself
if he had a little cash on him.
734
00:56:16,906 --> 00:56:19,966
- Well, do you know the guy he was with?
- Certainly I know who he was with.
735
00:56:20,043 --> 00:56:23,206
- Well, who was it?
- Me. He sprung me three slugs.
736
00:56:29,686 --> 00:56:32,678
When did you see him?
When did you see him?
737
00:56:36,159 --> 00:56:38,491
- This morning.
- Throw him out of here.
738
00:56:38,561 --> 00:56:41,086
- Wait a minute!
- What are you talking about?
739
00:56:41,164 --> 00:56:44,691
- Now, is there any more jokers in the crowd?
- I seen him.
740
00:56:45,735 --> 00:56:49,136
Yeah? Well, go on. Where'd you see him?
741
00:56:51,074 --> 00:56:53,770
On the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
742
00:56:53,843 --> 00:56:57,472
- Go on, go on.
- Nothing. He was working a sucker.
743
00:56:58,014 --> 00:57:01,177
- Giving him the pally act, that's all.
- Now think hard.
744
00:57:01,251 --> 00:57:04,243
Do you remember the sucker?
Do you remember what he looks like?
745
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,754
- Maybe.
- What do you mean, "Maybe"?
746
00:57:06,890 --> 00:57:10,826
- Maybe for 50 bucks.
- Why you...
747
00:57:11,995 --> 00:57:15,362
Do you think you could remember
for 1,000 bucks?
748
00:57:17,267 --> 00:57:19,258
Who could tell who he is?
749
00:57:19,469 --> 00:57:22,461
Can you describe
the man you saw Charlie with?
750
00:57:22,906 --> 00:57:26,273
Do I get $1,000 if I do?
751
00:57:26,443 --> 00:57:28,968
You do. If and when we find the guy.
752
00:57:29,379 --> 00:57:32,212
- Sure, I can describe him.
- Well, go ahead.
753
00:57:34,918 --> 00:57:37,819
- You paying the reward?
- No, but my boss is.
754
00:57:38,655 --> 00:57:41,647
- Then I'll describe it to him.
- Okay. Come on.
755
00:57:41,791 --> 00:57:44,385
Rush this over to the composing room.
756
00:57:44,761 --> 00:57:48,492
Kenny, see if you can figure out
a heading for that rubbish.
757
00:57:48,698 --> 00:57:50,723
Connie! Connie, take this.
758
00:57:58,475 --> 00:57:59,806
Wait here.
759
00:58:13,623 --> 00:58:15,318
Look, Lieutenant,
just refer the captain to me.
760
00:58:15,391 --> 00:58:18,189
I'll tell him he's cropping at the best
homicide man he ever had on the force.
761
00:58:18,261 --> 00:58:20,491
If he doesn't know that,
he's deaf, dumb and blind.
762
00:58:20,563 --> 00:58:22,861
Yeah, never mind the malarkey, Chapman!
763
00:58:22,932 --> 00:58:24,900
The next time
you people pull a stunt like this,
764
00:58:24,968 --> 00:58:27,596
I'll throw both you and McCleary in the can!
765
00:58:28,271 --> 00:58:31,832
Okay, Lieutenant, okay.
I give you my word. Goodbye, pal.
766
00:58:33,042 --> 00:58:35,340
Davis is screaming because we gave him
the suitcase only a half hour
767
00:58:35,411 --> 00:58:36,878
before he read it in the <i>Express.</i>
768
00:58:36,946 --> 00:58:39,437
Well, I've got something
that ought to make him happy again.
769
00:58:39,516 --> 00:58:40,744
Not another suitcase?
770
00:58:40,817 --> 00:58:44,776
A guy who can identify the man
Charlie got the pawn ticket from.
771
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:51,384
Hey, Bailey. Come in here.
772
00:59:00,103 --> 00:59:03,561
He wouldn't describe the guy to me.
He needed the boss.
773
00:59:06,643 --> 00:59:08,304
You the boss?
774
00:59:09,379 --> 00:59:13,611
Yeah, and don't waste my time.
Where'd you see this guy with Charlie?
775
00:59:15,818 --> 00:59:18,446
Down the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
776
00:59:19,956 --> 00:59:22,151
You say you can describe him?
777
00:59:41,844 --> 00:59:44,335
Well, go on. What did he look like?
778
00:59:54,057 --> 00:59:55,786
Stand up, will you?
779
01:00:04,467 --> 01:00:07,766
Yeah, just how I figured.
780
01:00:08,805 --> 01:00:10,432
You figured what?
781
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,272
He was your size,
782
01:00:17,313 --> 01:00:18,678
your build.
783
01:00:19,115 --> 01:00:21,345
Could have been as old as you.
784
01:00:21,951 --> 01:00:26,217
- Is that all?
- All you asked me was to describe him.
785
01:00:26,723 --> 01:00:30,625
That was no description!
That could fit a million guys in this town.
786
01:00:30,693 --> 01:00:34,060
- Even me.
- Well, how about the reward?
787
01:00:34,130 --> 01:00:38,123
Here, take this down to the cashier
and pick yourself up five bucks.
788
01:00:38,201 --> 01:00:41,261
- Show him where it is, Steve.
- Come on, Bailey.
789
01:01:30,186 --> 01:01:31,517
Hey, Baxter, where's Julie?
790
01:01:31,587 --> 01:01:34,078
She came in this morning,
banged this out on her typewriter,
791
01:01:34,157 --> 01:01:36,216
and told me to give it to Chapman.
792
01:01:36,292 --> 01:01:38,385
- What is it?
- Her resignation.
793
01:01:38,461 --> 01:01:42,261
I figured I'd hang onto it a day or so.
Maybe she'd cool off.
794
01:01:42,632 --> 01:01:46,261
I'm sure glad you did.
I'll take care of it for you, okay?
795
01:01:49,238 --> 01:01:50,762
Baxter, thanks.
796
01:02:00,883 --> 01:02:03,647
- Hello, Mrs. Allison.
- Well, hello, Steve. Come in.
797
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,051
Thank you.
798
01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:14,458
I have a pot of coffee in the kitchen.
I'd better see to it.
799
01:02:14,664 --> 01:02:16,564
Can I say a few words to you?
800
01:02:16,632 --> 01:02:19,533
Without getting hit with a table
or something?
801
01:02:19,602 --> 01:02:22,230
Speak your piece and get it over with.
802
01:02:22,338 --> 01:02:25,535
I just got rocked
with a bad piece of news, Julie.
803
01:02:25,742 --> 01:02:28,040
I heard about your resignation.
804
01:02:28,444 --> 01:02:31,845
Well, I can't imagine
why you'd shed any tears over it.
805
01:02:31,914 --> 01:02:33,211
Well, for what it's worth,
806
01:02:33,282 --> 01:02:36,308
your resigning knocks the props
out of a lot of things for me.
807
01:02:37,754 --> 01:02:40,655
That couldn't have come
from Steve McCleary.
808
01:02:41,791 --> 01:02:44,851
Okay, pass it. But I didn't figure
your burn at Chapman and me
809
01:02:44,927 --> 01:02:48,454
would be bigger than your wanting
to do something about Charlie's murder.
810
01:02:49,632 --> 01:02:52,829
Don't start playing me
for a hollow-headed female now, Steve.
811
01:02:52,902 --> 01:02:55,871
Your only interest, and Chapman's,
in Charlie's death is exploiting it
812
01:02:55,938 --> 01:02:59,601
- for all the circulation jumping it's worth!
- Julie, I'm not digging on a story now
813
01:02:59,675 --> 01:03:03,577
just for the school-boy bang of seeing
my name over a sensational yarn.
814
01:03:03,646 --> 01:03:06,672
Yeah, that's right, I had to get hit pretty hard
before I smartened up.
815
01:03:06,749 --> 01:03:09,309
But now I'm leveling
on the Charlie Barnes business.
816
01:03:13,422 --> 01:03:18,257
Well, if I can believe what I'm hearing,
this certainly is a different McCleary.
817
01:03:19,328 --> 01:03:20,955
I've been working night and day.
818
01:03:21,030 --> 01:03:24,227
All I've done is run the local leads
to a dead end.
819
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:29,294
There's only one gimmick left to follow.
This picture, the marriage in Connecticut.
820
01:03:29,472 --> 01:03:33,067
It's odd the person who married them
hasn't recognized it.
821
01:03:33,142 --> 01:03:36,077
Unless he's dead or hasn't seen the picture.
822
01:03:36,579 --> 01:03:40,310
Yeah, I thought of that angle, too.
But it's a million-to-one shot.
823
01:03:40,383 --> 01:03:43,716
A guy would have to be an elephant
to remember a face after 21 years.
824
01:03:44,787 --> 01:03:48,314
Tell him about the elephant we met
on Fifth Avenue, about four years ago.
825
01:03:48,391 --> 01:03:50,791
We were walking along the street when,
right out of the blue,
826
01:03:50,860 --> 01:03:53,021
a complete stranger stopped me.
827
01:03:53,095 --> 01:03:56,656
It turned out to be the little preacher
who married Julie's father and me
828
01:03:56,732 --> 01:03:59,724
in Portland, Maine, 23 years before!
829
01:04:01,404 --> 01:04:06,603
- And he actually was able to recognize you?
- And I'd put on a little weight since then.
830
01:04:07,210 --> 01:04:10,270
They say a New Englander
seldom forgets a face.
831
01:04:10,980 --> 01:04:13,813
Crazy odds, but what can we lose?
832
01:04:15,051 --> 01:04:16,416
Yeah, get this picture
833
01:04:16,485 --> 01:04:19,750
to every churchman, judge
and justice of the peace in Connecticut.
834
01:04:19,822 --> 01:04:24,259
- It's certainly worth trying.
- It's a big job. Compiling lists,
835
01:04:24,527 --> 01:04:26,620
- checking out leads.
- It can be done.
836
01:04:26,696 --> 01:04:28,687
The two of us could handle it, Julie.
837
01:04:29,732 --> 01:04:32,667
Well, I'd like to, Steve, but I've resigned.
838
01:04:32,735 --> 01:04:36,637
And I'd sooner drop dead
than ask Mark Chapman for my job back.
839
01:04:43,312 --> 01:04:45,803
- You dog!
- It never got past Baxter.
840
01:04:46,883 --> 01:04:48,908
A list of churches in each town
is no problem.
841
01:04:48,985 --> 01:04:52,318
The judges and JPs we can get
from the state legal directory in Hartford.
842
01:04:52,388 --> 01:04:54,720
Yeah, you start packing.
Enough for a couple of weeks.
843
01:04:54,790 --> 01:04:56,451
I'm going to the office
and get the lab boys started
844
01:04:56,525 --> 01:04:57,787
on knocking out a few hundred circulars.
845
01:04:57,860 --> 01:05:00,260
But suppose Chapman says no
to my working with you on it?
846
01:05:00,329 --> 01:05:03,492
Why should he? Anyway, I'm not going
to tell him anything until we're ready to go.
847
01:05:03,566 --> 01:05:04,658
Tonight sometime.
848
01:05:04,734 --> 01:05:08,898
Mom, you think it's safe for me to travel
out of state at night with this young man?
849
01:05:08,971 --> 01:05:12,702
Just so he doesn't misconstrue
the meaning of "freedom of the press."
850
01:05:12,775 --> 01:05:16,336
Hey, you wonderful woman.
I'll check with you for dinner.
851
01:05:21,417 --> 01:05:23,544
Steve, this is shot-in-the-dark stuff.
852
01:05:23,619 --> 01:05:26,452
Mark, more rabbit-brained ideas than this
have paid off.
853
01:05:26,522 --> 01:05:28,956
Your hottest lead is right here in town
where the murders were committed.
854
01:05:29,025 --> 01:05:32,290
Yeah, our hottest lead was in town,
but it dried up like a puddle in July.
855
01:05:32,361 --> 01:05:33,589
You're looking for a mental marvel,
856
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:36,154
a guy who can recognize somebody
he'd seen for 15 or 20 minutes
857
01:05:36,232 --> 01:05:38,757
at a wedding ceremony
he performed 21 years ago.
858
01:05:38,834 --> 01:05:41,394
How do we know he only saw them
for 15 or 20 minutes?
859
01:05:41,470 --> 01:05:44,200
Maybe they were members of his church
or were married by a judge
860
01:05:44,273 --> 01:05:46,298
or a justice in their own town.
861
01:05:46,375 --> 01:05:48,605
Steve, you're off
on a needle-in-a-haystack hunt.
862
01:05:48,678 --> 01:05:51,078
You can find a needle in a haystack
if you look long enough.
863
01:05:51,147 --> 01:05:53,775
You don't think I'm gonna let you
hang around up there indefinitely, do you?
864
01:05:53,849 --> 01:05:55,680
You won't have to. A week, probably.
865
01:05:55,751 --> 01:05:58,982
Julie Allison's coming along to help me.
It's all arranged.
866
01:05:59,055 --> 01:06:02,456
It's all arranged. And that five grand reward.
You arranged that, too?
867
01:06:02,525 --> 01:06:06,586
No, you did, or will.
Mark, what's eating you?
868
01:06:07,096 --> 01:06:09,257
I'm only checking out every possible angle.
869
01:06:09,332 --> 01:06:11,061
Kid, I don't want you to beat your brains out.
870
01:06:11,133 --> 01:06:13,033
We can get just so much
out of this Lonely Hearts story,
871
01:06:13,102 --> 01:06:16,128
and then we'll start easing it off
and let it die a natural death.
872
01:06:16,205 --> 01:06:19,368
Let it die? Mark, we let Charlie Barnes die!
873
01:06:20,509 --> 01:06:22,909
The least we can do now is to find his killer.
874
01:06:23,679 --> 01:06:26,443
You're the guy who pounded into me,
"Never give up till you've got the story."
875
01:06:26,515 --> 01:06:28,449
Well, I'm not quitting on this one
until I've licked it.
876
01:06:28,517 --> 01:06:30,985
You can reach me
at the Lenox Hotel in Hartford.
877
01:06:56,579 --> 01:06:57,978
Long distance.
878
01:06:58,047 --> 01:06:59,844
I want some information.
879
01:06:59,915 --> 01:07:01,906
A telephone number
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
880
01:07:01,984 --> 01:07:05,181
The name is Hacker. He's a judge.
I don't remember his first name.
881
01:07:05,254 --> 01:07:07,222
You wish to place a call to this party?
882
01:07:07,289 --> 01:07:10,383
No, no. Not yet, that is.
I just want to get his telephone number.
883
01:07:10,459 --> 01:07:12,188
<i>One moment, please.</i>
884
01:07:16,799 --> 01:07:20,235
Hello? The Middlebury operator
has no listing for anyone by that name.
885
01:07:21,037 --> 01:07:22,436
There isn't?
886
01:07:23,305 --> 01:07:25,296
Middlebury's a small town.
Will you ask the operator
887
01:07:25,374 --> 01:07:26,966
if she knows anything
about Judge Hacker at all?
888
01:07:27,043 --> 01:07:29,273
Is he deceased, moved away, or what?
889
01:07:29,345 --> 01:07:31,074
<i>One moment, please.</i>
890
01:07:35,518 --> 01:07:38,510
Hello? The local operator
has been in Middlebury for five years
891
01:07:38,587 --> 01:07:40,646
and knows no one
by the name of Judge Hacker.
892
01:07:40,723 --> 01:07:42,384
That's all the information she can give us.
893
01:07:43,959 --> 01:07:45,153
Thanks.
894
01:08:32,908 --> 01:08:35,308
No, Reverend,
I'm afraid that's not our couple.
895
01:08:36,412 --> 01:08:39,040
You may be positive, Reverend,
but you're mistaken.
896
01:08:39,115 --> 01:08:41,515
The woman in the photo we sent you
is dead.
897
01:08:41,584 --> 01:08:43,916
Thank you for calling, Reverend.
898
01:08:46,288 --> 01:08:48,153
You don't have to tell me.
899
01:08:48,224 --> 01:08:50,852
It's written all over
your bright and shining face.
900
01:08:50,926 --> 01:08:53,759
A 190-mile drive
to have a whack-head tell me
901
01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:56,423
that both the people in our circular
died a year ago.
902
01:08:57,766 --> 01:09:01,896
New Englanders remember, all right.
Every face is familiar to them.
903
01:09:04,406 --> 01:09:07,671
Hello? Just a minute, here's Steve.
904
01:09:08,110 --> 01:09:10,340
It's that man again. Every day.
905
01:09:10,412 --> 01:09:13,313
Does he think we'll keep it a big fat secret
if we find something?
906
01:09:15,284 --> 01:09:16,649
Yeah, Mark.
907
01:09:18,487 --> 01:09:20,819
Nothing but an aching back
and some interesting meetings
908
01:09:20,890 --> 01:09:22,824
with jelly-brained screwballs.
909
01:09:22,892 --> 01:09:26,555
You've had enough time, Steve. Ten days.
Admit it's a dud. Come on home.
910
01:09:26,629 --> 01:09:29,325
Two more days, Mark.
We'll stick it out to the end of the week.
911
01:09:29,899 --> 01:09:33,391
Get out of the haystack. It's easier
to find the needles at the scene of the crime.
912
01:09:33,469 --> 01:09:34,936
I'll see you.
913
01:09:35,771 --> 01:09:39,832
Two more days. I don't even know myself
why we're sticking around.
914
01:09:41,043 --> 01:09:42,772
Anything there that sounds good?
915
01:09:44,180 --> 01:09:47,946
I'll read you a fair sample.
From a J.P. Waterbury.
916
01:09:49,084 --> 01:09:52,451
"Send me $5,000
and I will tell you names of people."
917
01:09:52,655 --> 01:09:54,646
A new head I'll send him.
918
01:09:55,658 --> 01:09:58,320
I've got a headache.
I think I'll lie down for a while.
919
01:09:59,728 --> 01:10:01,855
Why don't you lie down here?
920
01:10:07,269 --> 01:10:08,998
I'll go to my room.
921
01:10:15,344 --> 01:10:17,744
McCleary. Okay, put him on.
922
01:10:18,681 --> 01:10:20,808
A guy calling from Franklin.
923
01:10:21,283 --> 01:10:23,308
Hello? Yeah, that's right.
924
01:10:25,955 --> 01:10:27,149
You do, huh?
925
01:10:29,258 --> 01:10:31,590
- You've got what?
- What is it?
926
01:10:31,827 --> 01:10:35,456
- Just a minute.
- I have the other picture right before me!
927
01:10:35,864 --> 01:10:41,131
Yes, I married them July 19th, 1931,
over in Middlebury.
928
01:10:42,438 --> 01:10:44,702
A funny thing. What's that?
929
01:10:48,143 --> 01:10:49,872
Judge Elroy Hacker.
930
01:10:50,379 --> 01:10:52,404
We'll be there in two hours, Judge.
931
01:10:52,481 --> 01:10:54,244
Sit tight
and keep your mouth shut about this.
932
01:10:54,316 --> 01:10:55,374
Bye.
933
01:10:55,584 --> 01:10:59,247
Go on, get packed.
He's liable to drop dead on us or something.
934
01:11:55,110 --> 01:11:58,102
For a man who can sit there
and watch his success increasing daily,
935
01:11:58,180 --> 01:12:00,011
you're looking much too troubled, Mark.
936
01:12:00,082 --> 01:12:03,210
It's just that these minor problems
always seem to require major thinking.
937
01:12:03,285 --> 01:12:06,379
Well, perhaps we can balance
the unpleasant with the pleasant.
938
01:12:06,455 --> 01:12:09,390
That conversation we had the other day
about your buying company stock.
939
01:12:09,458 --> 01:12:10,823
- Yeah?
- I just thought I'd tell you,
940
01:12:10,893 --> 01:12:14,920
- I think we can swing that.
- That's fine, Mr. Madison, just great.
941
01:12:14,997 --> 01:12:17,659
Well, there doesn't seem to be any doubt
you'll reach that bonus figure.
942
01:12:17,733 --> 01:12:19,064
It'll be pleasant having you as a partner,
943
01:12:19,134 --> 01:12:20,863
- so to speak, in the paper, Mark.
- Thanks.
944
01:12:20,936 --> 01:12:22,801
- Good night.
- Good night.
945
01:14:17,953 --> 01:14:19,147
Sorry to keep you this late, Mark,
946
01:14:19,221 --> 01:14:21,621
but we got hit with a mess of traffic
on the way in.
947
01:14:21,690 --> 01:14:23,157
Your wire sounded important.
948
01:14:23,225 --> 01:14:26,456
I found that needle,
or rather the man with the needle.
949
01:14:26,528 --> 01:14:29,725
Judge Elroy Hacker,
Mark Chapman, Managing Editor.
950
01:14:29,865 --> 01:14:32,925
- Glad to meet you, Judge.
- How do, Mr. Chapman?
951
01:14:33,902 --> 01:14:35,893
- Sit down, Judge.
- Thanks.
952
01:14:36,772 --> 01:14:38,672
Does the judge's needle sew anything up?
953
01:14:38,740 --> 01:14:41,231
Everything but knotting the thread
at the end.
954
01:14:41,310 --> 01:14:42,937
I mean the noose.
955
01:14:44,046 --> 01:14:45,240
What have you got?
956
01:14:45,314 --> 01:14:48,511
The identity of Mrs. Lonely Heart
and her husband.
957
01:14:49,117 --> 01:14:51,711
Judge Hacker married them
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
958
01:14:51,787 --> 01:14:54,688
Their names are Charlotte and George Grant.
959
01:14:58,827 --> 01:14:59,953
Did you get that, Mark?
960
01:15:00,028 --> 01:15:03,327
The name of the Lonely Heart Killer
is George Grant.
961
01:15:03,699 --> 01:15:05,530
Yeah, I heard you. Go on.
962
01:15:05,601 --> 01:15:08,229
Strike two. The judge is sure
he can identify George Grant
963
01:15:08,303 --> 01:15:10,203
when he sees him again.
964
01:15:10,806 --> 01:15:13,969
You see, I took this picture myself.
965
01:15:14,710 --> 01:15:17,338
A little extra service
the judge gave his bridal couples.
966
01:15:17,412 --> 01:15:20,711
Yes. I'd send them a print
and put one in my own scrapbook.
967
01:15:20,782 --> 01:15:22,579
The judge even furnished
the "just married" sign.
968
01:15:22,651 --> 01:15:24,118
Judge, you said
you married them in Middlebury,
969
01:15:24,186 --> 01:15:27,883
- but Steve found you in Franklin.
- I retired seven years ago.
970
01:15:27,956 --> 01:15:31,323
I'm partial to fishing,
so I moved over on the coast.
971
01:15:32,027 --> 01:15:34,928
I only happened
to see your circular by chance,
972
01:15:34,997 --> 01:15:37,830
in the office of a justice friend of mine.
973
01:15:40,602 --> 01:15:43,571
I always said you were born
in a field of shamrocks.
974
01:15:43,639 --> 01:15:47,769
Sure. The McClearys raised their kids
on nothing but rabbits' feet.
975
01:15:48,410 --> 01:15:52,471
Judge, what makes you so sure
you can identify George Grant today?
976
01:15:54,383 --> 01:15:57,250
Well, mainly because right after
I took that wedding picture,
977
01:15:57,319 --> 01:16:00,482
this Grant got vexed at his wife
about something.
978
01:16:01,590 --> 01:16:05,651
I can remember his voice, snapping at her.
His face getting red...
979
01:16:07,696 --> 01:16:11,598
I know what's in your bonnet, Mark.
We still have to find George Grant.
980
01:16:11,667 --> 01:16:14,363
A needle's nothing but a hunk of steel
if you've got nothing to sew.
981
01:16:14,436 --> 01:16:15,801
We just need the thread.
982
01:16:15,871 --> 01:16:18,203
I figure we'll pick that up
right here in New York.
983
01:16:18,273 --> 01:16:21,367
When the police line up all the local
George Grants for the judge to look over.
984
01:16:23,745 --> 01:16:27,416
That's Julie. I dropped her off
at headquarters to tell Davis what we've got.
985
01:16:29,251 --> 01:16:32,618
Friend Davis is steaming
like a pressure cooker, as I said he would.
986
01:16:32,688 --> 01:16:33,746
He'll simmer down.
987
01:16:33,822 --> 01:16:36,484
So will your
lining up the George Grants idea.
988
01:16:36,558 --> 01:16:40,255
Davis says he'll do nothing until you turn
Judge Hacker over to the police.
989
01:16:40,329 --> 01:16:42,763
- Steve, you can't hold...
- Relax, doll. He'll see the judge later.
990
01:16:42,831 --> 01:16:44,924
Not tonight he won't.
The judge is our exclusive beat.
991
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,230
Nobody gets to him
till our story breaks tomorrow.
992
01:16:47,302 --> 01:16:49,031
I don't trust cops.
993
01:16:51,607 --> 01:16:52,904
You and Julie start writing the story.
994
01:16:52,975 --> 01:16:56,308
I'll put the judge in a side-street hotel
where nobody will get to him.
995
01:16:56,378 --> 01:16:57,902
Come on, Judge.
996
01:17:01,316 --> 01:17:03,648
I'll just wait for Mr. McCleary.
997
01:17:04,987 --> 01:17:06,921
He was going to put me up at his place.
998
01:17:06,989 --> 01:17:08,581
That's the first place
the wolves will start baying.
999
01:17:08,657 --> 01:17:10,921
You better come with me, Judge.
1000
01:17:10,993 --> 01:17:15,157
No, I don't think it would be wise
for me to go with you, Mr. Grant.
1001
01:17:15,731 --> 01:17:18,325
- Mister...
- Chapman, Judge. Not Grant.
1002
01:17:18,734 --> 01:17:21,294
You'd better give your brain a rest.
You're gonna need it.
1003
01:17:21,370 --> 01:17:22,735
He may be Chapman now,
1004
01:17:22,804 --> 01:17:27,104
but 21 years ago, when I married them,
he was George Grant.
1005
01:17:27,509 --> 01:17:29,534
And he was a newspaperman.
1006
01:17:30,379 --> 01:17:34,145
I remember now. He said he worked
on the paper over in Waterford.
1007
01:17:34,216 --> 01:17:37,549
Waterford, Connecticut, was that town
I couldn't think of.
1008
01:17:37,619 --> 01:17:40,110
But I knew I'd remember that voice.
1009
01:17:40,422 --> 01:17:44,586
His face... You've changed.
But it's the same man.
1010
01:17:45,060 --> 01:17:48,086
You remember that $5,000 reward, though,
don't you, Judge?
1011
01:17:48,163 --> 01:17:51,428
Judge. This is impossible.
You're getting confused.
1012
01:17:51,633 --> 01:17:54,864
He sounds to me as though
he knows exactly what he's saying.
1013
01:17:54,936 --> 01:17:57,837
This is idiotic!
Screwball, crackbrained lunacy!
1014
01:17:57,906 --> 01:18:01,364
And that's just the kind of a witness
the judge is going to make, too, Steve.
1015
01:18:01,443 --> 01:18:03,240
The police have that specimen
of hair and flesh
1016
01:18:03,311 --> 01:18:05,905
found under Mrs. Grant's fingernails.
1017
01:18:06,348 --> 01:18:09,283
I think we'd better get in touch with Davis.
1018
01:18:09,551 --> 01:18:11,212
No phone, Allison.
1019
01:18:21,797 --> 01:18:26,359
Julie pegged you right off.
But me, still wet behind the ears McCleary.
1020
01:18:27,235 --> 01:18:29,328
I went for the sleigh ride.
1021
01:18:29,971 --> 01:18:35,409
I practically built the pedestal for Chapman.
The great newspaperman. The great guy.
1022
01:18:36,778 --> 01:18:41,545
There ought to be a special Pulitzer Prize
for the world's biggest sucker, McCleary.
1023
01:18:41,616 --> 01:18:44,141
Just another one of your stupid slobs!
1024
01:18:44,219 --> 01:18:45,948
Things happen, Steve,
and then there's just no end.
1025
01:18:46,021 --> 01:18:47,921
Killing my wife was an accident.
1026
01:18:47,989 --> 01:18:51,823
And Charlie. Charlie Barnes,
who never hurt a fly in his life.
1027
01:18:52,294 --> 01:18:54,057
A washed-up drunken rummy
who had nothing to live for
1028
01:18:54,129 --> 01:18:55,790
against a career
that was just reaching its prime.
1029
01:18:55,864 --> 01:18:59,322
- It wasn't an even exchange.
- You've got a great career ahead of you now.
1030
01:18:59,401 --> 01:19:02,302
That's all down the drain.
I gotta to make different plans now.
1031
01:19:02,370 --> 01:19:04,736
You should have started running
when you got my wire, sucker!
1032
01:19:04,806 --> 01:19:06,501
I gambled.
The stakes are big enough, you don't run
1033
01:19:06,575 --> 01:19:10,443
unless there's nothing else left to do.
Don't try it, kid.
1034
01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:30,190
Steve!
1035
01:19:50,986 --> 01:19:53,011
We're just too close, kid.
1036
01:19:57,292 --> 01:20:02,059
I figured I'd find you birds here.
Still playing me for a pushover, aren't you?
1037
01:20:04,032 --> 01:20:06,227
Steve, you remember how I told you
1038
01:20:06,301 --> 01:20:09,464
that someday you'd run into
a really great story?
1039
01:20:09,905 --> 01:20:11,736
Well, this one ought to do it, huh?
1040
01:20:12,474 --> 01:20:14,374
Yeah, this one will do.
1041
01:20:14,976 --> 01:20:16,603
I'll give you the lead on it.
1042
01:20:17,846 --> 01:20:18,972
"The elusive Lonely Heart Killer,
1043
01:20:19,047 --> 01:20:20,708

1045

"Managing Editor of the <i>New York Express."</i>
1049
01:20:37,766 --> 01:20:42,601
- Write it up big, kid. It'll sell a lot of papers.
- All right, drop it, Chapman.

Mark Chapman, editor of the New York Express, has made the newspaper a success by pursuing sensationalism and yellow journalism. His protégé is ace reporter Steve McCleary, while successful feature writer Julie Allison is frustrated by the paper's drift towards raking the muck. One night, during a lonely hearts dance organized by the Express, Chapman's estranged wife confronts him and demands that he visit her hotel room. It is revealed that Chapman's real name is George Grant, and he abandoned his wife decades earlier, changing his identity. When Chapman rebuffs her efforts toward reconciliation, she threatens to publicize his real identity. Chapman tries to restrain her, accidentally killing her in the scuffle.
Chapman attempts to cover up his crime, posing the scene to look like an accident. The police initially believe she slipped in the bathtub, but McCleary begins covering the case, and his reporting reveals it was a murder. McCleary is eager to run the story, and Chapman must acquiesce to avoid suspicion. The "mystery" murderer is dubbed the "Lonely Hearts Killer." Charlie Barnes, an alcoholic former star reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner, stumbles upon the dead woman's suitcase, in which he finds wedding photographs showing Chapman (then Grant) and his wife. He realizes that Chapman must be the killer. Barnes contacts Allison, who has been kind to him, attempting to give her the scoop, but Chapman overhears the conversation. He intercepts and kills Barnes before he can reveal the truth to a rival publication. This act only increases public interest in the story of the Lonely Hearts Killer, much to Chapman's frustration.
Assisted by Allison, McCleary continues to track down clues and leads. Eventually he locates another photo from Chapman/Grant's wedding, although the groom is shot in profile and it is not obvious that it is Chapman. McCleary and Allison travel to Connecticut to find the judge who married the murdered woman and the man in the photograph. After a week of searching, they identify the judge who conducted the marriage. They bring him back to the newspaper building, where he identifies Chapman as the groom and thus the Lonely Hearts Killer. McCleary is incredulous, but Allison puts the pieces together and the desperate Chapman pulls a gun on them. The police arrive, and Chapman cannot bring himself to shoot McCleary. Instead, he gives McCleary his blessing to publish all details of his crimes and then commits suicide by cop.

1
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,468
I know how you feel, lady.
2
00:01:52,545 --> 00:01:54,445
Just take your time
and tell me what happened.
3
00:01:54,514 --> 00:01:57,915
He had this meat ax, her blood all over it.
4
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:03,187
My brother-in-law had it.
Blood all over his hands, all over his shirt.
5
00:02:03,389 --> 00:02:05,687
I can't talk about it, Officer.
6
00:02:05,859 --> 00:02:08,851
I know it's rough, lady,
but I have to have the facts.
7
00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:14,298
He comes staggering out in the hall.
He says, "I did it. Call the cops."
8
00:02:15,101 --> 00:02:16,125
And then he...
9
00:02:16,202 --> 00:02:19,467
Snap it up, Captain.
Lieutenant Davis just blew in.
10
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,303
What's he going to do, Officer?
11
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:25,003
- I'm not a cop, lady.
- But you said...
12
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:27,610
All I said was,
"I had to ask you some questions."
13
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,079
I'm from the <i>Express.</i>
14
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:33,984
You made me go through all that.
Why, you're not decent! You're not human!
15
00:02:34,754 --> 00:02:38,121
- Sorry, lady. All part of the job.
- Well, well, Lieutenant Davis.
16
00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:42,252
- Say, this must have been a homicide.
- Hi, Lieutenant. Wait till you hear it.
17
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:45,092
- A messy one.
- You keep pulling stuff like this, McCleary,
18
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:50,193
and so help me, if it's the last thing I do,
I'll run you in! Now, that's a warning!
19
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:18,591
This is KL-75263. Get me Plaza-52099.
20
00:03:19,532 --> 00:03:24,401
You know, that wasn't a bad-Iooking dame.
Too bad the guy used an ax on her head.
21
00:03:25,271 --> 00:03:27,796
Spoiled some pretty pictures for me.
22
00:03:28,908 --> 00:03:31,877
Hey, Mark, have you put on the gloves
with those stockholders yet?
23
00:03:32,178 --> 00:03:34,203
Hi. No, I'm just taping up my hands.
24
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,976
<i>Well, you can tell them we got</i>
<i>another neat and gory one coming up.</i>
25
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:39,177
<i>Hatchet murder. Lower East Side tenement.</i>
26
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:41,652
<i>Wrapped up an exclusive interview</i>
<i>with an eyewitness.</i>
27
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:43,211
You got plenty of art?
28
00:03:43,289 --> 00:03:45,052
Yeah. Biddle grabbed all he could
of the body.
29
00:03:45,124 --> 00:03:49,185
A dame, very messy.
Got a great hysterical close-up of her sister.
30
00:03:49,529 --> 00:03:52,828
I'll even write the caption for you.
"I seen him with a bloody meat ax."
31
00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:54,592
Good. With that, I can sell papers.
32
00:03:54,667 --> 00:03:57,295
Give it to rewrite and we'll get it in the final.
Hold on. What do you want?
33
00:03:57,370 --> 00:04:00,237
Mr. Madison called down
from the boardroom again, Mr. Chapman.
34
00:04:00,306 --> 00:04:02,831
You hear that?
I'm letting them stew in their financial juices.
35
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:05,067
Well, don't overdo it. I like this job.
36
00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:08,273
You've never gone backwards
with me before, have you, kid?
37
00:04:08,348 --> 00:04:13,217
If we leave here, we'll bounce into
a bigger setup. I'll see you when you get in.

00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:21,417
As one of the largest stockholders
in this corporation,
39
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:24,463
I would like to know
why the <i>New York Express,</i>
40
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:27,465
once a distinguished
and respected newspaper,
41
00:04:29,869 --> 00:04:33,600
has been allowed to become
a cheap and depraved publication.
42
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:38,835
Why has an editor been allowed
to turn a decent journal into this?
43
00:04:39,679 --> 00:04:41,613
A disgusting tabloid!
44
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,749
Pandering to the passions
of the base morons!
45
00:04:45,151 --> 00:04:47,847
I demand an explanation, Frank Madison.
46
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:54,750
Well, Mrs. Rawley, I...
In defense of Mark Chapman, I...
47
00:04:54,827 --> 00:04:58,263
Mr. Madison, I'd like to handle
my own defense, if you don't mind.
48
00:04:58,331 --> 00:04:59,855
Just as you say, Mark.
49
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:05,428
Mrs. Rawley, I think you
and the other stockholders should know
50
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:07,496
that your publisher hired me
as executive editor
51
00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:09,837
with full rights to transform this newspaper.
52
00:05:10,677 --> 00:05:14,443
He did this for a very simple reason.
He was fed up with operating at a loss.
53
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:18,611
Why did Mr. Madison hire me?
Well, he felt it was time that the <i>Express</i>
54
00:05:18,685 --> 00:05:21,745
buried its antiquated negative approach,
such as this.
55
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:25,756
But who won?
56
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:29,920
And become a positive newspaper.
We're in a business, ladies and gentlemen,
57
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:34,695
a business of satisfying the hunger
of the public for thrills, escape and news.
58
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:39,271
Here's where I took over
your highly respectable white elephant.
59
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:42,172
Instead of headlining a UN story,
we gave them a vice story.
60
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:44,368
Obviously, they went for it.
61
00:05:44,544 --> 00:05:46,239
We played down
the presidential appointments
62
00:05:46,312 --> 00:05:48,644
and concentrated
on the "Gorilla Man" killings.
63
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:51,576
Here's what happened.
Thirty or forty thousand new readers.
64
00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:54,245
Why, in a year, circulation's up over 110%.
65
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,686
And when we reach 750,000,
66
00:05:56,756 --> 00:06:00,886
we'll have to pay you a big bonus.
I'm not sure I like this at all.
67
00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:02,761
Did you like the dividend check
you got last month
68
00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:04,194
for the first time in 12 years?
69
00:06:04,263 --> 00:06:07,323
I don't like this, sir.
What kind of journalism is this?
70
00:06:07,967 --> 00:06:10,026
A newspaper
staging a cheap, vulgar display
71
00:06:10,103 --> 00:06:13,266
in order to attract
the stupid slobs of the city!
72
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,865
The thousands who will attend
the Lonely Heart dance tonight,
73
00:06:15,942 --> 00:06:18,467
these poor, friendly, unhappy people
whom you call stupid slobs,
74
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:20,569
buy and read this newspaper.
75
00:06:20,646 --> 00:06:22,944
Their loyalty helped put that dividend check
in your pocket.
76
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:26,712
And I suppose you think it's a public service
when one of your reporters is arrested
77
00:06:26,786 --> 00:06:30,745
for withholding information from the police?
Or whatever it was.
78
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:34,150
This, what's his name, McCleary person,
79
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,352
and the things he writes about!
I think he should be fired!
80
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:39,295
This McCleary person
is the best young reporter I've seen
81
00:06:39,365 --> 00:06:41,060
in 25 years of newspapering.
82
00:06:41,134 --> 00:06:43,193
Before I'll fire him,
I'll throw the <i>Express</i> up for grabs
83
00:06:43,269 --> 00:06:45,669
and go to work for somebody
who appreciates real talent on a paper!
84
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:47,262
- Mark, I'm sure...
- One last thing.
85
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:50,798
The only contract I have here is a handshake
between Mr. Madison and myself.
86
00:06:50,877 --> 00:06:53,141
Now, unless you give me full rights
to run this paper the way I want,
87
00:06:53,212 --> 00:06:55,271
I'll quit after the final edition today.
88
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:58,784
Now, I'm sorry I can't stay with you
any longer. I have a newspaper to get out!
89
00:07:06,092 --> 00:07:10,426
- Your story ready, Miss Allison?
- I'll have the rest in a minute, Joey.
90
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:13,831
Mr. Chapman?
91
00:07:16,502 --> 00:07:17,696
Thanks.
92
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:26,937
McCleary story in yet, Bax?
93
00:07:32,485 --> 00:07:34,885
How'd you make out in the torture chamber?
94
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:40,450
This is good. Give it a big play.
Mac'll do a byline follow-up tomorrow.
95
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:43,825
- What are these?
- Pics for that Lonely Heart spread.
96
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:45,820
- Junk them.
- But I...
97
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:47,092
Take Peters off the Lonely Hearts.
98
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:48,997
He's photographing these slobs
like a lineup in a soup kitchen
99
00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:50,660
instead of panting for a red-hot romance.
100
00:07:50,736 --> 00:07:52,533
- Okay. But I...
- Yeah?
101
00:07:52,939 --> 00:07:54,566
Yes, Mr. Madison.
102
00:07:58,211 --> 00:08:00,611
- Get an ax, smear it with blood.
- Yeah? Whose?
103
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,171
Yours. If you can't spare any,
use chocolate syrup or something.
104
00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:07,652
Chocolate? Goody! When I'm through,
I can make a plate of fudge. Drop in.
105
00:08:08,721 --> 00:08:12,157
So, you still insist a woman having 20 kids
is worth a feature article?
106
00:08:12,225 --> 00:08:15,422
Hi, genius.
I think it's worth a whole front page.
107
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:18,391
It scares me, this maternal instinct of yours.
108
00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:20,955
Decided where you're taking me
to dinner tonight?
109
00:08:23,736 --> 00:08:25,966
If Chapman hasn't been canned,
110
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,169
you're going to dine with the worst loser
who ever paid off a bet.
111
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:31,608
Then you'd better stash some
bicarbonate soda in your bag, princess.
112
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:32,837
You're gonna need it.
113
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:35,437
Don't count your steaks
before you hear the sizzle.
114
00:08:37,617 --> 00:08:39,608
Well, what's the word? Are you ex or still?
115
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,880
They're not dumb enough
to throw out a winner.
116
00:08:41,954 --> 00:08:44,650
Congratulations. I knew you'd stick
their stocks right back in their teeth.
117
00:08:44,724 --> 00:08:46,555
I told them if they fired me,
McCleary would quit, too,
118
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:49,060
and then they'd be in real trouble.
119
00:08:49,128 --> 00:08:50,527
I wouldn't put it past them
to try and dump you
120
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:53,929
to get out of paying the bonus that's
staring them right in their glassy eyes.
121
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,331
I've got news for you.
122
00:08:55,401 --> 00:08:57,528
I'm going to cut you in
for a piece of that bonus.
123
00:08:57,603 --> 00:08:59,298
What do you want me to do, retire?
124
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:00,566
I thought we could make a deal with Madison
125
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,698
to buy some of the company's stock.
126
00:09:01,774 --> 00:09:03,901
You know, kid,
we could end up owning this newspaper.
127
00:09:03,976 --> 00:09:06,536
- Well, that's the best offer I've had all week.
- I'll make you another one.
128
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:09,080
I'll take you to dinner tonight.
You pick the spot.
129
00:09:10,349 --> 00:09:14,012
I'll make you a better offer.
My date's buying. She lost a bet.
130
00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:17,544
The Grand Duchess from Vassar again?
The way I feel, I can put up with anything.
131
00:09:17,623 --> 00:09:19,818
- I'm more worried, can she put up with you?
- Get her ready.
132
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:24,124
We've got to be at the ballroom at 8:00.
There's no time for nose powder.
133
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:32,597
Don't break your ears with that grin.
I can see. He's still in.
134
00:09:33,005 --> 00:09:36,532
- No loud whoops of joy, baby?
- Well, I tried everything.
135
00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:39,770
I crossed my fingers,
said prayers, burned candles.
136
00:09:39,845 --> 00:09:43,713
- Who's your tailor, princess?
- Let's get out of here.
137
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,075
I've had to look at that Chapman face all day.
138
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:50,714
I've got to cover his fiasco tonight
and suffer some more.
139
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:53,987
At least just looking at you for an hour
will be a welcome change.
140
00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:57,496
- Lf you're taking me to dinner, let's go.
- Taking him?
141
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,195
Wait a minute.
Our bet was between you and me.
142
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:03,463
Our bet was loser buys dinner.
We didn't say for how many.
143
00:10:03,536 --> 00:10:06,994
- Why, you double-crossing...
- I knew you'd be a good loser.
144
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:10,807
Someday remind me to tell you about girls.
145
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:20,248
You talk a couple of these suckers
into getting married.
146
00:10:20,319 --> 00:10:21,581
These Lonely Heart slobs got the gimmies,
147
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:23,519
and we've got plenty to give them
from the advertisers.
148
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:25,284
If you talk one couple
into getting married by 9:00,
149
00:10:25,358 --> 00:10:27,883
by 12:00 we'll have a dozen lined up
for wedded bliss.
150
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,155
- McCleary, the Brooklyn cupid.
- McCleary, the human yes man.
151
00:10:30,229 --> 00:10:31,594
Hey, Julie!
152
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:34,155
- Hello, Charlie.
- Charlie.
153
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:38,225
- How are you, Barnes?
- Fine, Mark. You're looking fit. McCleary.
154
00:10:38,571 --> 00:10:39,595
Thank you.
155
00:10:39,672 --> 00:10:41,799
What goes on? Are you ghosting
Allison's features, Charlie?
156
00:10:41,874 --> 00:10:43,774
No, he's helping me with research
for that series
157
00:10:43,843 --> 00:10:45,640
on historical monuments in New York.
158
00:10:45,711 --> 00:10:47,872
You couldn't pick a better man.
I ought to know.
159
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:50,006
Remember those old days, Mark?
160
00:10:50,082 --> 00:10:53,813
Like the time I cut the phone cables
at the Lindbergh trial?
161
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:55,520
You scooped me. Almost cost me my job.
162
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:59,957
Scooped you, the wire services,
scooped everybody. That was the year...
163
00:11:00,026 --> 00:11:02,358
That was the year you won the Pulitzer Prize.
164
00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:06,826
Listen, Mark.
This stuff I've been doing for Julie, it's...
165
00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:13,200
- Mark, I think I'm ready to go back to work.
- That's fine. I'm glad to hear it, Charlie.
166
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,164
How about it, Mark? How about a job?
167
00:11:19,645 --> 00:11:21,510
- Why not?
- Thanks.
168
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:25,447
- Charlie, I'm so proud of you!
- This is gonna take a little juggling.
169
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:26,849
I won't be able to do anything right away.
170
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:28,978
Look, Charlie, I'll call you.
We're late, we gotta rush.
171
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:31,785
Sure, Mark, I know how it is,
always on the go.
172
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:35,258
- Coffee in the morning? Skinners?
- Sure thing, Julie.
173
00:11:40,199 --> 00:11:41,257
All the time I thought you were a...
174
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:43,699
- How much did you give him?
- $10. He earned it.
175
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:44,929
Ten bucks?
176
00:11:45,004 --> 00:11:47,336
- Buy a lot of whiskey.
- Did you see that rum-dumb?
177
00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:49,806
- Come midnight, he'll be in the gutter.
- Now, wait a minute.
178
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:51,274
He's an alky, Julie.
You shouldn't give an alky
179
00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:52,367
more than a buck at a time.
180
00:11:52,445 --> 00:11:55,414
You're liable to kill him.
Ten bucks, he can take a bath in it.
181
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:58,314
But... Well, this job
will change everything for him.
182
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:01,319
Job? I wouldn't have him in my office,
let alone on my staff.
183
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:04,117
In you go, sucker. Where are you going?
184
00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:07,085
I'm not going to let him go off believing this.
185
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:10,617
- Do you want to break his heart?
- Do I? What do you think you're doing?
186
00:12:10,696 --> 00:12:13,358
I'm giving him hopes and dreams.
A rummy like that lives on dreams.
187
00:12:13,432 --> 00:12:17,061
- He's happy. Why spoil it?
- Happy? Happy like your Lonely Hearts,
188
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,798
looking forward to those big romances
they've been promised?
189
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:23,069
- Only Charlie's romance is with a bottle.
- Get in.
190
00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:48,057
Biddle, don't leave that camera at half mast.
Stop goldbricking on the other guys.
191
00:12:48,134 --> 00:12:52,127
I must have got 100 shots already,
Mr. Chapman. My arm's giving out.
192
00:12:52,204 --> 00:12:56,334
You've only started. I want shots of people
from every state. Now start shooting.
193
00:12:58,911 --> 00:13:01,038
How are you doing, princess?
194
00:13:01,147 --> 00:13:04,116
Well, it's an effort,
but I'm trying to keep from screaming.
195
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:06,981
You were a real bundle of laughs
during dinner, too.
196
00:13:07,052 --> 00:13:08,781
Why don't you simmer down now?
197
00:13:08,854 --> 00:13:10,515
You're not so pretty
when your feathers are all ruffled.
198
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:13,183
Don't, Steve. I'm in no mood for levity.
199
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:17,491
- Do you feel like dancing?
- Do you figure that'll smooth my feathers?
200
00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:21,691
I've got a great idea for you. Grab yourself
one of these Lonely Heart boys.
201
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:25,066
Tell him you're a club date. Con him.
Get his life history.
202
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:28,903
- And there's your feature for tomorrow.
- Mark Chapman, Junior.
203
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:31,568
It'll sell papers, you left that out.
204
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:34,871
Happy hunting, cupid.
Mustn't let the boss down.
205
00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:38,312
Save at least one dance for me, princess.
206
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:58,034
Every time I aim my lens
at one of these walking zombies,
207
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:01,334
I think of the time
I covered the Miss America contest.
208
00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:03,705
The tears almost start to flow.
209
00:14:06,378 --> 00:14:09,370
From McCleary, you get nothing but service.
Ten minutes before 9:00,
210
00:14:09,448 --> 00:14:13,179
and couple number one. Mary and Joe
met in front of the Arkansas booth.
211
00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:16,221
It was love at first sight, almost. Right?
212
00:14:16,288 --> 00:14:20,349
Well, sure. I'm from Texas,
but I sure love that Arkansas cooking.
213
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,890
- You love her, don't you?
- Well, sure, I reckon so.
214
00:14:23,963 --> 00:14:26,158
- Mary, you love him?
- Yes.
215
00:14:26,966 --> 00:14:31,130
- See, they're crazy about each other.
- Yeah, that's fine. Hey, Edwards.
216
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:33,535
We've got a romance going here.
They're ready for the orange blossoms.
217
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,837
- Well, how do you do? And congratulations.
- Save the teeth for the bandstand.
218
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:38,171
Get up there
and make the big announcement.
219
00:14:38,244 --> 00:14:42,044
Yes, sir, Mr. Chapman.
Come with me, you lucky, lucky people.
220
00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:46,842
Hey, you ain't gonna forget about the bed
with the built-in television set?
221
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:48,614
You'll spend your honeymoon in front of it.
222
00:14:51,624 --> 00:14:55,321
- Nice going, Steve, keep punching.
- I'll get the camera boys up to cover it.
223
00:14:57,129 --> 00:15:01,862
- Did you find a feature to write about yet?
- I haven't, and I don't intend to.
224
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:05,435
This bribing of poor, ignorant dopes
into a public wedding
225
00:15:05,504 --> 00:15:07,665
is cheap, cruel and disgusting.
226
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:10,573
This whole Wild West show is ridiculous,
and I want no part of it.
227
00:15:10,643 --> 00:15:13,305
Miss Allison,
your contract has six months to run.
228
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:17,281
My contract was made with Mr. Madison
before you took over the <i>Express.</i>
229
00:15:17,349 --> 00:15:18,543
If you don't like the way I run the paper,
230
00:15:18,617 --> 00:15:21,245
I have an agreement
that might be satisfactory to both of us.
231
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,811
Take six months' vacation with pay!
232
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:30,286
No, thank you, Mr. Chapman. I'll work it out.
I like my feature writing.
233
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,898
Thinking people like it, too,
234
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:37,561
even though there aren't many of them
buying the <i>Express</i> anymore. Good night!
235
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:43,605
That's it.
236
00:15:50,382 --> 00:15:53,613
<i>Friends, brothers and sisters</i>
<i>in the Lonely Hearts Club.</i>
237
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:55,677
<i>I have wonderful news for you,</i>
238
00:15:55,754 --> 00:15:59,747
<i>living proof that this magnificent club</i>
<i>is more than just a name.</i>
239
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:04,386
<i>But first, how would you like to meet</i>
<i>the great man who created your club?</i>
240
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:11,998
<i>Mr. Mark Chapman,</i>
<i>editor of the</i> New York Express.
241
00:16:12,071 --> 00:16:14,665
<i>Put the spotlight on him, over there!</i>
242
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,782
<i>Now here's the wonderful news.</i>
243
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:37,056
<i>Meet Mary and Joe, two happy people</i>
<i>who came here tonight as total strangers.</i>
244
00:16:37,463 --> 00:16:42,400
<i>They met, they danced, they found love.</i>
<i>They're going to get married!</i>
245
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,474
George?
246
00:16:57,516 --> 00:17:00,041
<i>- As the first couple who fell in love tonight...</i>
- George Grant!
247
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:01,814
<i>...Mary and Joe will receive...</i>
- It is you!
248
00:17:01,887 --> 00:17:03,752
<i>...compliments of the</i> Express...
- Charlotte.
249
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:05,119
<i>... a wedding night in a New York hotel...</i>
250
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:08,921
Finding you here...
I was so sure that you must be dead.
251
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:11,759
George Grant is dead.
252
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:14,259
Yes, I just heard.
253
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,134
- You're the...
- We can't talk here.
254
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:19,901
We can talk at my place, George.
255
00:17:20,806 --> 00:17:23,036
We've got a lot to talk about.
256
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:26,509
Go on out. I'll meet you at the side entrance.
257
00:17:32,785 --> 00:17:35,151
The years have been kinder to you.
258
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:38,621
What is it, 19, 20?
I used to keep track, but I don't...
259
00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:41,716
What's the difference?
Now that you found me, what do you want?
260
00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:57,401
May I?
261
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:07,375
- Come on, quit stalling around.
- What was it they called you at the ball?
262
00:18:07,453 --> 00:18:08,977
- Mark?
- Chapman.
263
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:15,755
When did you change your name, George?
Right after you left me?
264
00:18:17,062 --> 00:18:18,962
So I wouldn't find you?
265
00:18:19,631 --> 00:18:21,292
You knew I was so crazy about you
266
00:18:21,366 --> 00:18:24,028
I'd look and look and look,
didn't you, George?
267
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,697
Come on, get to it. What do you want?
268
00:18:27,739 --> 00:18:32,574
You're still in a hurry, aren't you?
That's the thing I remember best about you.
269
00:18:32,878 --> 00:18:37,645
The fellow who always ran and never walked.
Had to get places fast!
270
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,749
And you got places, didn't you, George?
271
00:18:44,323 --> 00:18:46,883
Here, you need some money?
Here's some for now.
272
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,860
Money? The payoff, George?
273
00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:54,497
How much? How much for each year?
274
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:58,633
How much for the agony
and the heartbreak and the fear?
275
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:03,141
- Charlotte, cut the ham act.
- This could be for the doctor bill, see?
276
00:19:06,578 --> 00:19:10,173
I was 20 years younger then,
took things more seriously.
277
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:14,142
I can't imagine how much.
278
00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:18,087
You're boring me now, like you always did.
279
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:20,388
People always bored you
280
00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:23,155
when you didn't have
any more use for them, didn't they, George?
281
00:19:23,228 --> 00:19:25,025
Bores and nuisances, I get rid of them.
282
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:27,497
Yeah, the same gentle way
you got rid of me.
283
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:28,692
My lawyer will get in touch with you.
284
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:31,702
He'll arrange a quiet divorce
and generous alimony.
285
00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:34,671
You're an important man now,
aren't you, George?
286
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:37,038
Editor of the <i>New York Express.</i>
287
00:19:38,977 --> 00:19:43,346
I never thought I'd be the wife of the editor
of a big New York newspaper.
288
00:19:43,415 --> 00:19:47,112
You're not, and don't get any ideas
about forcing yourself.
289
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:51,020
You've got nothing to gain by refusing me
a divorce now like you did 20 years ago.
290
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:56,759
I was young then and so foolishly in love.
I wanted so much to hold onto you.
291
00:19:57,496 --> 00:20:00,021
I made all of my mistakes when I was young,
and you were the biggest one.
292
00:20:00,098 --> 00:20:02,794
I fell for an attractive hunk of flesh.
293
00:20:04,169 --> 00:20:07,627
"Hold me." You didn't try to hang on.
You strangled me.
294
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,936
I'd smother to death with you.
295
00:20:15,747 --> 00:20:19,808
Turnabout's fair play.
When you walked out on me, I died inside.
296
00:20:20,352 --> 00:20:23,116
When I walk out of here, you're gonna die.
297
00:20:23,188 --> 00:20:27,852
Everything you worked for, grabbed for,
ruined people to get, it's all gonna die!
298
00:20:27,926 --> 00:20:29,393
You're a neurotic screwball!
299
00:20:29,461 --> 00:20:33,955
I'm gonna spread your story all over town.
Mark Chapman, the great editor!
300
00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:37,829
Wife deserter!
Living under a false name for 20 years.
301
00:20:39,137 --> 00:20:42,334
What else did you cover up
living under a phony name?
302
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:44,637
Your publishers are gonna love this.
303
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:49,044
And the other papers, they'll cut you
to ribbons with this information!
304
00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,470
Hi, honey, let me have the city room.
305
00:23:33,812 --> 00:23:37,179
This is Elkins.
If you need me, I'm over in Skinners.
306
00:23:38,316 --> 00:23:41,808
What? Having breakfast. Yeah, breakfast.
307
00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:53,323
Yes, Julie, after that fortunate
and historical meeting with Mark yesterday,
308
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:57,629
I had considerable difficulty
wooing the fickle Morpheus.
309
00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:01,939
That explains it.
Those bleeding eyes today.
310
00:24:02,474 --> 00:24:05,341
Well, I did have a couple
with the boys down below.
311
00:24:05,410 --> 00:24:08,277
A sort of celebration, and then farewell.
312
00:24:11,049 --> 00:24:13,574
You should have left them long ago, Charlie.
313
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:15,916
Any man who was big enough
in his day to rate that,
314
00:24:16,555 --> 00:24:20,389
a place in Skinner's Hall of Fame,
is still too big for Dead-End Street.
315
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:25,028
No regrets, Julie. My temporary alliance
with the denizens of the Bowery
316
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:29,863
has provided me with a deeper insight
into the whys and wherefores of mankind.
317
00:24:35,674 --> 00:24:38,006
A proven medical fact,
when the human system
318
00:24:38,076 --> 00:24:40,840
has been lengthily nurtured
on alcoholic stimulants,
319
00:24:40,912 --> 00:24:44,871
any abrupt cessation of same
will result in a negative reaction.
320
00:24:45,016 --> 00:24:46,381
Absolutely.
321
00:24:47,652 --> 00:24:52,385
But I'm tapering off. I'll be a firmly-rooted
passenger on the old water wagon
322
00:24:52,524 --> 00:24:54,856
by the time Mark's ready for me.
323
00:24:57,295 --> 00:25:01,561
Charlie, don't bet everything
on Mark Chapman.
324
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:06,666
He won't let me down.
First time I felt ready, I asked him for a job,
325
00:25:06,938 --> 00:25:10,032
and what happened?
He offered me one, didn't he?
326
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:15,173
- Mr. Lonely Heart.
- Compliments of the <i>Express,</i> Myrtle.
327
00:25:15,747 --> 00:25:18,545
- I see you read. You stick with the radio.
- Yeah.
328
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:20,744
Hey, McCleary,
I read that rag of yours by accident.
329
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:23,287
Yeah, me, too.
From ax murder to Ionely hearts.
330
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:25,653
What are you trying to prove,
you're versatile or something?
331
00:25:25,724 --> 00:25:27,885
What are you gentlemen
reading our rag for?
332
00:25:27,959 --> 00:25:30,427
Trying to find out
what's happening that's news?
333
00:25:30,495 --> 00:25:32,929
Good morning, kiddies. What's the word?
334
00:25:35,066 --> 00:25:36,624
Silly, that's the word.
335
00:25:36,701 --> 00:25:38,635
Still a heaping bunch of joy,
aren't you, princess?
336
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:43,663
Lonely Hearts Ball. Journalism has certainly
changed since the old days.
337
00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:47,302
What happened to you last night?
Pulled a fast fade on me.
338
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:50,712
- Don't tell me you actually missed me?
- I needed protection.
339
00:25:50,782 --> 00:25:53,250
Some of our love-hungry subscribers
got mixed up.
340
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:56,014
They were offering me deep-freezes
and vacuum cleaners.
341
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:59,318
- I'm surprised you refused.
- How do you know I did?
342
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:02,849
Certainly heavy coverage
on the unrequited passion set.
343
00:26:03,261 --> 00:26:06,924
Our love and romance edition, Charlie.
Even the crossword puzzle.
344
00:26:06,998 --> 00:26:08,966
But nothing from the Allison corner.
345
00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:12,335
Not interested in romance, Julie?
346
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:16,465
Not the kind that blossoms
on free gas stoves and television sets.
347
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:21,235
- About that Lonely Heart gag, I've got a...
- Steve, on the radio.
348
00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:27,652
- Julie. Hi, Charlie.
- Hi, Biddle.
349
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:31,086
Police call. Dead dame in a flat
on Third Avenue. Are you interested?
350
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:33,090
Well, she'd probably be a cheerful change.
351
00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:36,685
I'm still getting the icebox treatment
from the female on my left.
352
00:26:36,761 --> 00:26:40,162
After them scarecrows I shot last night,
I figure my luck's gotta change.
353
00:26:40,231 --> 00:26:43,428
Even dead, this dame's bound
to have more glamour.
354
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:45,467
Let's give her a look.
355
00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:48,801
Thanks for the coffee, kitten.
356
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:03,785
Another scarecrow. I'm batting goose eggs.
357
00:27:05,323 --> 00:27:07,848
Dames have got to make trouble
even when they die, don't they, pal?
358
00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:11,384
Yeah, water downstairs and water upstairs.
359
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:14,531
Probably wanted a room
with a swimming pool.
360
00:27:14,966 --> 00:27:16,866
Hey, Davis, what are you doing here?
361
00:27:16,935 --> 00:27:21,031
I just wanted to see if I couldn't get
to one of our calls before you did.
362
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:22,471
This isn't a homicide?
363
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:24,531
We got a new man
on the beat here, McCleary.
364
00:27:24,609 --> 00:27:26,167
He's built like you between the ears.
365
00:27:26,244 --> 00:27:29,975
He saw a hole in the back of the dame's head
and figured she was slugged.
366
00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:31,515
What's your guess, Lieutenant?
367
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:33,949
She put the hole
in the back of her head herself?
368
00:27:34,019 --> 00:27:36,783
Yeah, wise-eyes, that's it. That's it exactly.
369
00:27:36,855 --> 00:27:40,291
She slipped in the tub
and opened her skull on a faucet.
370
00:27:40,358 --> 00:27:43,953
- What was the lady's name, Sherlock?
- The landlady says Jane Jones.
371
00:27:44,029 --> 00:27:45,360
- Do you believe it?
- Yeah, I believe it.
372
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:47,762
I'm fresh out of nursery school.
373
00:27:48,466 --> 00:27:52,402
Jane Jones, alias Jane Doe.
Say, Dave, you're really humming.
374
00:27:53,204 --> 00:27:56,401
Look, nuisance, if you so much as make
these bedsprings squeak once again,
375
00:27:56,474 --> 00:28:00,308
- I'll throw you in the tub with the dame.
- Lieutenant, please.
376
00:28:04,616 --> 00:28:08,177
You're wrong, Dave.
She was murdered. Clear as your head.
377
00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:10,347
Murdered for her money.
378
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:13,949
Why, this lady must have spent easily
six or seven dollars a year on clothes.
379
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:15,492
Why don't you go home, McCleary?
380
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,462
There's nothing around here
to interest a big newsman like you.
381
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:27,827
Look, junior, keep your nose
in your own business, or I'll run you in
382
00:28:27,906 --> 00:28:31,137
- for obstruction, suspicion and vagrancy.
- Why, sure, Dave.
383
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:33,837
I just thought there might be something
in here to help identify her.
384
00:28:33,912 --> 00:28:35,243
No suitcase, huh?
385
00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:41,715
- In there, boys.
- Okay, Steve, I got all I need.
386
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:46,957
Thanks, Dave.
387
00:28:49,127 --> 00:28:52,062
- No, not you two again.
- What do you guys do,
388
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:54,758
smell these things
before the police call is even in?
389
00:28:54,833 --> 00:28:57,301
Try to forget your mugs.
There's a lady in the bathroom.
390
00:28:57,368 --> 00:29:00,531
- Yes, so knock before entering.
- Coming through.
391
00:29:10,381 --> 00:29:12,406
- What'd you pinch that for?
- Look familiar?
392
00:29:12,484 --> 00:29:15,544
I had them in front of me all night, didn't I?
393
00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:18,747
Hey, that's off a Lonely Hearts badge!
394
00:29:18,823 --> 00:29:22,554
Yeah. How many pictures
did you and the boys take at the ball?
395
00:29:22,627 --> 00:29:24,925
Three, maybe four hundred. I don't know.
396
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:27,260
Rush the print of Miss Bathtub
through the lab.
397
00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:28,594
Then check it against the others.
398
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:30,964
- See if you can match them up, okay?
- Sure.
399
00:29:31,035 --> 00:29:34,937
- Shouldn't take more than a week.
- Yeah, but I want it done in an hour.
400
00:29:35,006 --> 00:29:36,701
- I'll see you at the office.
- Where are you going?
401
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:39,903
I'm gonna hitch a ride to the morgue.
If you match them, call me.
402
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,674
How about a ride to the morgue, Pete?
403
00:30:04,969 --> 00:30:07,096
Hey, Needle Nellie, anybody home?
404
00:30:07,172 --> 00:30:08,662
Hey, handsome.
405
00:30:09,007 --> 00:30:11,271
- How you doing, sweetheart?
- Doing all right, handsome.
406
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:13,037
Come here and give us a kiss.
407
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,815
- How's business at the morgue, Nellie?
- Dead.
408
00:30:19,551 --> 00:30:21,178
Business is dead.
409
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:25,621
- It's good to see you, handsome.
- Likewise, sweetheart.
410
00:30:25,690 --> 00:30:27,385
A long time between dates.
411
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:30,621
But right now,
I come seeking your expert female advice.
412
00:30:30,695 --> 00:30:34,131
Anybody that's lived as long as me
can give it. Shoot.
413
00:30:34,732 --> 00:30:37,565
Nellie, if you had just one dress
to your name
414
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:39,535
and you'd fastened something onto it
with a safety pin,
415
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:40,969
and maybe you were in a hurry,
416
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,008
would you take time to undo the pin,
or would you rip the whole thing off?
417
00:30:44,075 --> 00:30:46,305
- This is a riddle?
- No, seriously.
418
00:30:46,377 --> 00:30:51,041
Well, if I had 10 dresses and the house
was burning down, I'd still undo the pin.
419
00:30:51,115 --> 00:30:52,639
Any lady would.
420
00:30:53,017 --> 00:30:55,485
That's what I figured.
I just wanted a woman to confirm it.
421
00:30:55,553 --> 00:30:57,453
I love you, Nellie. I love you.
422
00:30:57,522 --> 00:31:00,047
- Where you going, handsome?
- I gotta see the doc.
423
00:31:00,124 --> 00:31:01,955
Maybe I can get you some business, Nellie.
424
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:11,364
Did you get those ringside ducats
I sent you?
425
00:31:11,436 --> 00:31:13,427
Steve! Yeah, it was a great fight.
426
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:15,438
Mishke really tore that Haybelly apart,
didn't he?
427
00:31:15,506 --> 00:31:19,840
Had so much blood spattered on my glasses,
I missed the knockout punch.
428
00:31:20,478 --> 00:31:24,175
Look, Doc,
they just brought in an accidental death.
429
00:31:24,249 --> 00:31:27,047
- They're putting her in the freezer right now.
- So?
430
00:31:27,118 --> 00:31:30,110
So, I'd like you to give her
the onceover for me. An autopsy.
431
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:33,646
Accidents are out of my province.
You know that, Steve.
432
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:35,383
It's going to be
a great World Series this year.
433
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:37,087
Yeah, that it is.
434
00:31:37,528 --> 00:31:41,362
I don't suppose you'd be interested
in viewing the festivities from a box seat?
435
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:47,132
Are you trying to bribe a city official?
436
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:51,135
Right behind first base, Doc.
437
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:11,028
Yeah. Yeah, get some prints ready.
I think we've got our front page.
438
00:32:11,095 --> 00:32:14,792
Well, this is your lucky day. Drop back,
I want you to mark my racing form.
439
00:32:14,866 --> 00:32:16,766
Get the door, will you?
440
00:32:17,368 --> 00:32:20,064
Yeah, and don't forget, I smoke cigars.
441
00:32:20,838 --> 00:32:24,831
- Hey, Steve, let me wipe those off a little.
- Wipe them tomorrow.
442
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:32,008
Will you smile again
if I take you to dinner tonight?
443
00:32:32,083 --> 00:32:34,847
- A little celebration coming up.
- What's the celebration?
444
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:37,649
Another McCleary scoop.
Getting monotonous, isn't it?
445
00:32:37,722 --> 00:32:42,557
That dinner. A two-party celebration,
or are you bringing a friend?
446
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:44,559
Just you and me alone.
447
00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:47,825
I'll smile again.
What are the fragile treasures?
448
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:52,060
Very rare items.
Pictures of a dame with her mouth shut.
449
00:32:53,071 --> 00:32:55,972
- Joey, catch the door, will you?
- All right.
450
00:32:58,676 --> 00:33:01,270
I've been waiting a long time
for a chance to say this.
451
00:33:01,346 --> 00:33:03,439
- Stop the presses!
- Did you get a morning-after story
452
00:33:03,514 --> 00:33:05,004
on any of those couples
we married last night?
453
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:07,483
I got a story from one
of the Lonely Heart Ball guests, all right.
454
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:11,079
But she didn't get married last night.
She got murdered!
455
00:33:19,964 --> 00:33:23,263
- Who is she?
- A Jane Doe. Nobody knows her real name.
456
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:25,996
The police think she slipped in the bathtub
and bashed her head in,
457
00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:30,507
- or they did until a little while ago.
- But you knew better all the time?
458
00:33:30,575 --> 00:33:32,941
After Doc O'Hanlon got through
cutting her up for me.
459
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:36,538
She died between 9:00 and 12:00 last night,
before she went under in the tub.
460
00:33:36,614 --> 00:33:38,479
No water in her lungs.
461
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:40,283
Did he find anything else?
462
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:44,788
Yeah, her killer was a man, middle-aged,
fair complexion. Had brown hair.
463
00:33:45,390 --> 00:33:47,620
O'Hanlon found that
in scraping under her fingernails.
464
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:50,593
You ran into this
just by playing a hunch, huh?
465
00:33:50,661 --> 00:33:53,858
A string from a Lonely Heart badge
was on her dress in the closet.
466
00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:57,628
The badge had been torn off.
I followed through from there.
467
00:34:00,371 --> 00:34:04,364
Well, is this a story,
this Lonely Heart murdered after the ball?
468
00:34:04,575 --> 00:34:06,805
Can you sell papers with this?
469
00:34:10,248 --> 00:34:13,342
Baxter, Jordan, Allison,
get in here right away.
470
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:15,477
They didn't know her name, you said?
471
00:34:15,553 --> 00:34:18,920
Well, she called herself Jane Jones.
How phony can you get?
472
00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:20,014
We've just been struck by lightning.
473
00:34:20,091 --> 00:34:22,025
It's a great follow-up
for the Lonely Hearts Ball.
474
00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:24,118
Tell them about it, Steve.
475
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:30,997
We'll call her Miss Lonely Heart,
no other name. Alone in the city, friendless.
476
00:34:31,536 --> 00:34:34,801
She went to our shindig last night,
hunting for a soul mate.
477
00:34:34,872 --> 00:34:37,363
Maybe she found one, the wrong one.
478
00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:39,872
Anyway, she left early,
and sometime before midnight
479
00:34:39,944 --> 00:34:41,343
she was beaten to death in her room
480
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:44,540
by a brown-haired, middle-aged man
of fair complexion.
481
00:34:44,615 --> 00:34:46,480
A smash follow-up is right.
482
00:34:46,551 --> 00:34:49,247
The killer had a head full of brains.
Good nerves.
483
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,723
He lugged her to the bathroom,
stripped her, tossed the body in the tub.
484
00:34:54,459 --> 00:34:58,520
No. No, he stood the body in the tub.
Aimed, let go!
485
00:34:58,696 --> 00:35:03,190
Bang, her head cracks the faucet.
Almost perfect crime. Ordinary accident.
486
00:35:04,035 --> 00:35:06,936
He's working smartly,
a guy with imagination.
487
00:35:07,004 --> 00:35:10,963
He takes her slip, stockings,
washes them, hangs them up to dry.
488
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,000
He wipes his prints off everywhere.
489
00:35:13,077 --> 00:35:16,274
He starts getting rid of anything
that could identify her.
490
00:35:16,347 --> 00:35:18,907
He took a ring off her,
probably a wedding or engagement ring.
491
00:35:18,983 --> 00:35:22,111
- How do you know that?
- Whitish circle, third finger, left hand.
492
00:35:22,186 --> 00:35:25,587
- O'Hanlon spotted it at the morgue.
- All right, go on, go on.
493
00:35:25,656 --> 00:35:27,954
Well, he grabs any other personal items
that might identify her
494
00:35:28,025 --> 00:35:29,856
and throws them in her suitcase and blows.
495
00:35:29,927 --> 00:35:32,361
- How do you know she's got a suitcase?
- Every dame's got a suitcase.
496
00:35:32,430 --> 00:35:34,022
But there wasn't one
in Miss Lonely Heart's room.
497
00:35:34,098 --> 00:35:35,861
This'll kick up the circulation.
498
00:35:36,701 --> 00:35:40,137
We can make the 5:00 edition exclusive.
Steve can do the lead story.
499
00:35:40,204 --> 00:35:42,263
Jordan, I want three column cuts
of the dame's picture at the ball
500
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:44,433
and the murder photo.
Allison, write me a sob story,
501
00:35:44,509 --> 00:35:46,568
"Miss Lonely Heart
won't be Ionely anymore."
502
00:35:46,644 --> 00:35:47,736
Fine job, Steve.
503
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,303
Sure, it's a great job,
but we're gonna top it.
504
00:35:50,381 --> 00:35:51,439
How?
505
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,513
- Bury her.
- Bury her?
506
00:35:57,555 --> 00:35:59,682
The best story I ever dug up, and he tops it.
507
00:35:59,757 --> 00:36:02,157
By 5:00 tonight, Miss Lonely Heart
will be selling newspapers for us
508
00:36:02,226 --> 00:36:05,923
on every street corner in Manhattan.
Now, go on, get going.
509
00:37:42,126 --> 00:37:43,787
Be seeing you, Humpty.
510
00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:31,269
Look, I've shown you everything in the shop.
That's the last one I've got!
511
00:38:35,513 --> 00:38:36,605
Mark!
512
00:38:39,283 --> 00:38:41,217
- Mark, old boy!
- How are you, Charlie.
513
00:38:41,285 --> 00:38:45,085
What distasteful mission brings you to this
unholy neighborhood, Mark, my friend?
514
00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:46,589
I'm just looking around.
I like to keep my hand in,
515
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,124
even though I am strapped
to a desk right now.
516
00:38:48,192 --> 00:38:50,126
You wouldn't mean you're keeping
your hand in by working
517
00:38:50,194 --> 00:38:51,821
on this Lonely Heart murder,
would you, now, Mark?
518
00:38:51,896 --> 00:38:53,955
I've got a staff to take care of that for me.
519
00:38:54,031 --> 00:38:56,727
You can't kid an old newshound
like me, Mark.
520
00:38:56,801 --> 00:39:00,999
Still following our old formula,
first check the hock shops for a clue?
521
00:39:01,072 --> 00:39:03,336
Didn't wanna tip your hand
to those cops in there, did you?
522
00:39:03,407 --> 00:39:05,637
I tell you I'm not down here on business.
Now stop playing hawkshaw!
523
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:08,770
Let me show you Charlie Barnes
still has the master's touch
524
00:39:08,846 --> 00:39:11,713
- when it comes to following up a lead, Mark.
- Tell me about it later, will you,
525
00:39:11,782 --> 00:39:15,684
- when you come back to work for me?
- You're afraid I'll get drunk and tip the story.
526
00:39:15,753 --> 00:39:18,881
- I'm tapering off, Mark.
- That's fine, Charlie. I'll call you.
527
00:39:18,956 --> 00:39:23,825
Let me work this with you, Mark. I know
this whole district from gutter to rum-heads.
528
00:39:23,894 --> 00:39:26,226
Pete in the pawnshop's
an honored friend of mine.
529
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:27,992
- Yeah.
- I can get him to work with me and...
530
00:39:28,065 --> 00:39:30,898
- Hello, Charlie!
- Go away.
531
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:35,400
- Here, Charlie, here's something to count.
- I don't want a handout, Mark.
532
00:39:35,473 --> 00:39:37,498
- I want to work.
- You can pay me later. I'll call you, Charlie.
533
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:39,338
Mark, let me help...
534
00:40:13,544 --> 00:40:14,704
Hang onto them, Pete.
535
00:40:14,779 --> 00:40:17,873
We'll drop back payday
and look them over again.
536
00:40:25,022 --> 00:40:26,489
Them guys should wear glasses.
537
00:40:26,557 --> 00:40:29,185
They do so much looking,
but never no buying.
538
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:31,125
Get this for me, Pete.
539
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:34,356
Taking something out for a change
instead of putting it in, Charlie?
540
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:37,526
I admit to the novelty of the occasion, Peter.
541
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:50,109
- Hey, you didn't hock this with me.
- Doing a favor for a friend.
542
00:40:52,082 --> 00:40:56,178
Them cops. You know, if someday
they should buy something from me, I'd...
543
00:40:56,253 --> 00:40:59,620
No, that'd be bad. I'd drop dead.
544
00:41:02,226 --> 00:41:06,185
You know, Charlie, I ought to be
in some other kind of business.
545
00:41:06,697 --> 00:41:10,497
You really meet a very poor class of people
in this business.
546
00:41:10,768 --> 00:41:13,259
Not meaning anything personal,
you understand.
547
00:41:13,337 --> 00:41:16,773
But I'm always dealing with people
who are in trouble,
548
00:41:17,274 --> 00:41:21,608
people who gotta hock something.
People who gotta buy something cheap.
549
00:41:24,582 --> 00:41:28,109
I don't like cheap things.
I never did and I never will.
550
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:34,356
I should have been big fur man, maybe,
or big jewelry man.
551
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,651
Then I could deal with rich people.
552
00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:42,554
That's the kind of people
I really prefer to deal with.
553
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:47,694
- Hey! How much is on this ticket?
- Two bucks.
554
00:41:58,249 --> 00:41:59,841
Here, sign here.
555
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:08,424
You know, sometimes they say
even the rich people aren't happy.
556
00:42:08,492 --> 00:42:11,017
But how that could be, I don't know.
557
00:42:12,296 --> 00:42:15,857
Thank you, Peter.
Thank you for being in business!
558
00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:21,433
Thank you very much.
559
00:42:33,517 --> 00:42:35,041
A shot, Heeney.
560
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:38,614
You look like your blood pressure's boiling,
Charlie. What's the matter?
561
00:42:38,689 --> 00:42:40,680
The classic irony of the age, Heeney.
562
00:42:40,758 --> 00:42:43,659
Charlie Barnes, a stewbum,
rocking the newspaper world
563
00:42:43,727 --> 00:42:46,457
like he never did in all his sober days.
564
00:43:00,411 --> 00:43:02,208
- Composing.
- Yes, sir.
565
00:43:04,481 --> 00:43:07,712
Yes. Yes, madam,
I have two answers for you.
566
00:43:08,185 --> 00:43:11,313
First, you shouldn't talk
to strange men in bars.
567
00:43:11,388 --> 00:43:13,982
Second, because he asked you to marry him
568
00:43:14,058 --> 00:43:16,356
then hit you with a pretzel dish
when you refused
569
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:19,191
isn't conclusive proof
he's our Lonely Heart Killer,
570
00:43:19,263 --> 00:43:21,697
but thanks for calling, lady. Bye.
571
00:43:23,334 --> 00:43:26,326
Phony or not,
those tips belong to the police.
572
00:43:26,704 --> 00:43:30,299
When are you going to get rid of the idea
you're wearing an invisible badge?
573
00:43:30,374 --> 00:43:34,140
Julie Allison. Hello, Charlie. How are you?
574
00:43:36,714 --> 00:43:38,181
The Lonely Heart murder?
575
00:43:38,248 --> 00:43:42,844
And you've got to meet me right away.
We have to figure out how to handle this.
576
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,514
I know the killer, and it's dynamite.
577
00:43:46,757 --> 00:43:48,952
Well, Charlie,
that story is really Steve McCleary's.
578
00:43:49,026 --> 00:43:52,587
- I think you'd better talk to...
- No, no, Julie, I want you to have this.
579
00:43:52,663 --> 00:43:55,393
Now I can repay you, Julie child,
for everything.
580
00:43:55,466 --> 00:43:59,596
Julie, this is so... It's so tremendous,
it'll put both of us on top.
581
00:44:02,272 --> 00:44:04,035
What? What, Julie?
582
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:08,835
Okay, okay, both of you meet me.
583
00:44:08,912 --> 00:44:11,540
Maybe we will need
somebody like McCleary.
584
00:44:11,615 --> 00:44:14,175
Steve, Charlie says
he has information on the murder.
585
00:44:14,251 --> 00:44:18,654
- He's awfully excited about something.
- About two quarts full, probably.
586
00:44:19,890 --> 00:44:21,881
Yeah, Charlie, what's up?
587
00:44:22,726 --> 00:44:25,695
I wanted Julie to have this,
but she insists you be on in it.
588
00:44:25,763 --> 00:44:27,663
I mean you be in on it.
589
00:44:27,965 --> 00:44:30,297
- What's the matter, Charlie?
- No.
590
00:44:31,368 --> 00:44:34,462
- What? You're not sore, are you?
- No, go away!
591
00:44:36,006 --> 00:44:38,099
What? What have I got?
592
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:40,939
I've got the Lonely Heart Killer for you,
that's what!
593
00:44:41,011 --> 00:44:44,777
Gee, Charlie, that's great.
You getting him crocked so he'll confess?
594
00:44:44,848 --> 00:44:48,807
I haven't got him. I know who he is.
595
00:44:54,858 --> 00:44:55,950
What?
596
00:44:59,563 --> 00:45:03,465
Yes, I'm in a saloon.
I'm in Heeney's. But I'm not drunk.
597
00:45:04,034 --> 00:45:07,128
I've just taken the hottest story
of the century out of hock, and I'm gonna...
598
00:45:08,038 --> 00:45:11,064
He's really flying tonight.
See what your 10 bucks did?
599
00:45:11,141 --> 00:45:15,009
Stop treating him like some
weak-minded child. Listen to what he's got.
600
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:19,482
- He's not this excited for nothing.
- You know what he's got? The DTs.
601
00:45:19,616 --> 00:45:21,675
Charlie Barnes, tanked to the eyeballs,
602
00:45:21,752 --> 00:45:24,880
says he just took the Lonely Heart
murder solution out of hock.
603
00:45:26,056 --> 00:45:29,583
Hello, Charlie?
Still there? Let's start all over again.
604
00:45:30,294 --> 00:45:34,788
Listen, you mental midget. The only reason
I'm calling the <i>Express</i> is Julie Allison.
605
00:45:34,865 --> 00:45:37,732
Before I'd give this story
to an insolent young pup like you,
606
00:45:37,801 --> 00:45:39,792
I'd take it to the <i>Daily Leader!</i>
607
00:45:39,870 --> 00:45:42,304
Charlie's mad now.
Gonna sell it to the <i>Leader.</i>
608
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:46,069
- Hang up on the drunken slob.
- Julie? She just left.
609
00:45:46,477 --> 00:45:48,570
I guess we'll just have to read your story
in the <i>Leader</i> tomorrow.
610
00:45:48,645 --> 00:45:50,772
- So long, pal.
- Give me that.
611
00:45:51,815 --> 00:45:53,077
- Hello? Hello?
- Don't be silly, Julie.
612
00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:55,141
He'll just keep you up all night
listening to his fairytales.
613
00:45:55,219 --> 00:45:59,349
- Where was he calling from?
- Bellevue psycho ward, I think he said.
614
00:46:00,257 --> 00:46:01,747
Your 10 bucks.
615
00:47:13,697 --> 00:47:15,460
- Keep this for me, Heeney.
- Why, sure, Charlie.
616
00:47:15,532 --> 00:47:17,056
A couple hours.
617
00:47:17,868 --> 00:47:20,359
One more, Heeney. One for the road.
618
00:48:05,215 --> 00:48:06,739
Hello, Charlie.
619
00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:13,617
Mark. I thought you were still down
at the Bowery.
620
00:48:15,692 --> 00:48:18,024
I hear you got a story, Charlie.
621
00:48:18,195 --> 00:48:20,060
Where'd you hear that?
622
00:48:20,597 --> 00:48:25,364
- Isn't that what you told McCleary?
- Why, I was just schmoozing him, I...
623
00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:28,295
Lining him up for a little touch.
624
00:48:28,372 --> 00:48:31,432
I gave you some money.
What did you do with it?
625
00:48:31,775 --> 00:48:33,333
You didn't, by any chance,
find a pawn ticket
626
00:48:33,410 --> 00:48:36,379
- mixed in with the money, did you, Charlie?
- Pawn ticket? Why, I...
627
00:48:36,446 --> 00:48:40,177
Did you use the money
to get the story out of hock, Charlie?
628
00:48:41,218 --> 00:48:44,585
You've got something that belongs to me.
Where is it?
629
00:48:45,389 --> 00:48:47,220
You were on the way to the <i>Leader</i>
with some evidence.
630
00:48:47,291 --> 00:48:49,725
Where is it, Charlie? Where is it?
631
00:49:01,905 --> 00:49:04,738
It's a wonderful story, isn't it, Charlie?
632
00:49:05,509 --> 00:49:07,909
You wanted to be a big man, Mark.
633
00:49:08,745 --> 00:49:12,476
This will make you famous
beyond your most ambitious dreams.
634
00:49:13,884 --> 00:49:18,412
Great story?
I've waited all my life for a story like this.
635
00:49:19,456 --> 00:49:23,483
Well, you've got it, Charlie.
But you're not going to write it.
636
00:49:27,130 --> 00:49:30,622
You're crazy, Mark.
Twenty years you've covered the news.
637
00:49:30,701 --> 00:49:33,761
Seen the bright boys try this. It never works.
638
00:49:56,493 --> 00:49:59,587
We just heard about Charlie Barnes.
Rotten deal.
639
00:50:00,163 --> 00:50:04,293
It's hard when it's someone like Charlie
you've known for 22 years.
640
00:50:04,401 --> 00:50:06,164
I knew him 25 years.
641
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:10,167
I never expected to see him
laying on a slab in this place.
642
00:50:10,507 --> 00:50:15,001
Is that right, Doc? Was he found
in an alleyway across from the <i>Daily Leader?</i>
643
00:50:15,078 --> 00:50:17,205
- Steve...
- Yes, that's right.
644
00:50:17,447 --> 00:50:20,439
The <i>Daily Leader.</i> He had a story!
645
00:50:20,517 --> 00:50:23,509
But he was taking your clever,
insolent, fresh-guy advice
646
00:50:23,587 --> 00:50:27,216
- and giving it to the <i>Leader!</i>
- He was drunk, Julie. How could I know...
647
00:50:27,290 --> 00:50:29,656
Charlie Barnes never got so drunk
he didn't know a story!
648
00:50:29,726 --> 00:50:33,492
Or that he'd try to peddle
a phony tip to a newspaper! But you...
649
00:50:33,563 --> 00:50:35,394
You couldn't bother listening to him!
650
00:50:35,465 --> 00:50:38,798
You and that newsprint hero of yours,
Mark Chapman.
651
00:50:39,269 --> 00:50:41,032
You couldn't expect us to believe
that Charlie Barnes
652
00:50:41,104 --> 00:50:43,129
had any real information
on the murder, Julie.
653
00:50:43,206 --> 00:50:45,231
We still don't know that he did.
654
00:50:45,308 --> 00:50:49,711
If you and that stone-hearted, glory seeking,
"I am the great Mark Chapman"
655
00:50:49,780 --> 00:50:51,771
had thrown Charlie
the miserable crumb of respect
656
00:50:51,848 --> 00:50:54,510
of just listening to him, he'd be alive today!
657
00:50:54,584 --> 00:50:58,748
Julie, maybe you're right.
Maybe it is partly my fault Charlie's dead.
658
00:50:58,822 --> 00:51:01,882
I'm sorry. Really sorry. But what can I do?
659
00:51:02,392 --> 00:51:06,123
Don't go soft! Show Chapman
you're a chip off the old block.
660
00:51:06,596 --> 00:51:08,655
Have him give Charlie a fancy funeral.
661
00:51:08,732 --> 00:51:11,997
Great headline.
"The <i>Express</i> buries its cast-offs."
662
00:51:12,436 --> 00:51:14,097
It'll sell papers!
663
00:51:27,350 --> 00:51:31,912
Kenny, rewrite that one paragraph, will you?
Allison had a bad night. Yeah.
664
00:51:32,289 --> 00:51:35,087
I just got yesterday's figures
from circulation, Mark.
665
00:51:35,158 --> 00:51:38,491
Six hundred and ninety-six thousand.
You're moving up there.
666
00:51:38,562 --> 00:51:41,292
Looks as though it's going to cost
the <i>Express</i> some bonus money before long.
667
00:51:41,364 --> 00:51:44,765
Quicker than you can say,
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Stockholder Rawley!"
668
00:51:44,835 --> 00:51:46,666
We're only starting,
Mr. Madison, only starting.
669
00:51:46,736 --> 00:51:48,260
That's the spirit!
670
00:51:48,338 --> 00:51:50,272
When you get to the editor's chair,
remember one thing.
671
00:51:50,340 --> 00:51:54,743
You're a hero with a lifetime job,
as long as the circulation is rising.
672
00:51:55,045 --> 00:51:59,379
- What have you got there?
- Something that will keep circulation rising.
673
00:51:59,716 --> 00:52:01,581
Charlie Barnes' story.
674
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:04,378
What are you talking about?
675
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:06,820
Charlie wasn't near the <i>Daily Leader</i>
by accident, Mark.
676
00:52:06,890 --> 00:52:08,790
He had something to print.
677
00:52:08,859 --> 00:52:11,419
I couldn't find it in his effects
at the morgue this morning,
678
00:52:11,495 --> 00:52:15,932
but I found it at Heeney's bar,
the joint Charlie phoned from last night.
679
00:52:16,233 --> 00:52:19,134
Half a pawnshop ticket was still on the bag.
680
00:52:19,236 --> 00:52:21,431
Pete's Hock Shop. I checked it.
681
00:52:21,505 --> 00:52:24,838
Charlie came in the pawnshop last night
with a claim check.
682
00:52:24,908 --> 00:52:27,536
Said he was unhocking it for a friend.
683
00:52:28,478 --> 00:52:31,743
Well, what's in the bag?
Miss Lonely Heart's name and address?
684
00:52:32,916 --> 00:52:36,477
Better than that, Mark.
Much better than that.
685
00:52:38,054 --> 00:52:40,579
A picture of the guy who killed her.
686
00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:52,362
A picture?
You can't even see the guy's face!
687
00:52:52,435 --> 00:52:54,596
What's the matter, Mark?
This is the first real lead we've got.
688
00:52:54,671 --> 00:52:56,263
The way you talked,
I thought we had it all sewed up.
689
00:52:56,339 --> 00:52:59,604
Sure, it's a lead, but it's a thin one.
How much does this give us?
690
00:52:59,676 --> 00:53:04,773
Well, we're certain the dame had a husband.
They were married in 1931 in Connecticut.
691
00:53:05,248 --> 00:53:09,048
- The husband's the guy who killed her.
- How do you make that?
692
00:53:09,419 --> 00:53:11,580
The ring mark on her finger
must have been a wedding ring.
693
00:53:11,655 --> 00:53:14,055
The inscription inside
could have identified him.
694
00:53:14,124 --> 00:53:16,388
And he grabbed the pawn ticket
figuring she'd hocked some belongings
695
00:53:16,459 --> 00:53:18,893
- that might peg him.
- Makes sense.
696
00:53:19,396 --> 00:53:22,194
Charlie got the pawn ticket from the killer.
697
00:53:22,265 --> 00:53:25,701
He must have been with him sometime,
someplace, yesterday.
698
00:53:25,769 --> 00:53:28,329
A lot of people
could have seen them together, right?
699
00:53:28,405 --> 00:53:29,770
Could have.
700
00:53:31,141 --> 00:53:33,609
Splash this picture
on the front page tonight.
701
00:53:33,677 --> 00:53:35,975
Offer a reward for information.
702
00:53:39,149 --> 00:53:41,674
"Lonely Heart Killer strikes again."
703
00:53:43,153 --> 00:53:45,246
When you write the story,
say that Barnes was working on this case
704
00:53:45,322 --> 00:53:46,346
undercover for the <i>Express.</i>
705
00:53:46,423 --> 00:53:49,620
He got too close to the killer
and died in the line of duty.
706
00:53:49,693 --> 00:53:50,887
Mark, I don't know, it...
707
00:53:50,961 --> 00:53:54,863
Nobody can deny it. It'll help sell papers.
We'll offer $1,000.
708
00:53:55,232 --> 00:53:58,360
Look, kid, don't pin your hopes
on anybody being able
709
00:53:58,435 --> 00:54:02,030
to spot the guy from this.
Unless they got x-ray eyes.
710
00:54:02,339 --> 00:54:04,034
I'm sure Charlie connected
the guy in the picture
711
00:54:04,107 --> 00:54:08,601
with the bird who gave him the pawn ticket.
I'm going to fine-tooth the Bowery myself.
712
00:54:08,678 --> 00:54:11,374
It's even money
that's where Charlie ran into our man.
713
00:54:11,448 --> 00:54:12,972
Good luck, kid.
714
00:54:44,314 --> 00:54:47,875
- Well, I got them for you, McCleary.
- Good work, Heeney.
715
00:55:05,368 --> 00:55:09,634
Well, this does it. I'll never touch
another drop the rest of my life.
716
00:55:17,547 --> 00:55:19,515
'Course some of them
been sucking on the bottle all night,
717
00:55:19,582 --> 00:55:21,516
but they can still stand up.
718
00:55:21,584 --> 00:55:24,747
- They all knew Charlie?
- Yeah, they all knew him.
719
00:55:25,088 --> 00:55:29,081
If you give McCleary here
any bum information, I'll brain you.
720
00:55:29,793 --> 00:55:31,818
And I might even do worse.
721
00:55:31,961 --> 00:55:35,522
No more free shots
when you're seeing little red spiders.
722
00:55:35,999 --> 00:55:40,095
How many of you boys saw Charlie Barnes
the day he was killed? Raise your hands.
723
00:55:40,170 --> 00:55:44,197
All right, raise your mitts,
them that seen Charlie day before yesterday.
724
00:55:44,274 --> 00:55:45,366
Good.
725
00:55:48,478 --> 00:55:50,446
- Where did you see him?
- See who?
726
00:55:50,513 --> 00:55:54,279
- This guy must be used to talking to mirrors.
- Charlie Barnes.
727
00:55:54,351 --> 00:55:58,253
I seen him come out of a joint
where he flopped in the morning.
728
00:56:00,824 --> 00:56:02,815
You, where'd you see him?
729
00:56:03,460 --> 00:56:05,826
- Humpty O'Dougal's saloon.
- What time?
730
00:56:05,895 --> 00:56:10,389
In the afternoon. Late in the afternoon.
Charlie had a nice little bun on.
731
00:56:10,934 --> 00:56:11,992
Was he with anybody?
732
00:56:12,068 --> 00:56:14,036
With anybody?
Sure, he was with somebody.
733
00:56:14,104 --> 00:56:16,834
Charlie never drank by himself
if he had a little cash on him.
734
00:56:16,906 --> 00:56:19,966
- Well, do you know the guy he was with?
- Certainly I know who he was with.
735
00:56:20,043 --> 00:56:23,206
- Well, who was it?
- Me. He sprung me three slugs.
736
00:56:29,686 --> 00:56:32,678
When did you see him?
When did you see him?
737
00:56:36,159 --> 00:56:38,491
- This morning.
- Throw him out of here.
738
00:56:38,561 --> 00:56:41,086
- Wait a minute!
- What are you talking about?
739
00:56:41,164 --> 00:56:44,691
- Now, is there any more jokers in the crowd?
- I seen him.
740
00:56:45,735 --> 00:56:49,136
Yeah? Well, go on. Where'd you see him?
741
00:56:51,074 --> 00:56:53,770
On the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
742
00:56:53,843 --> 00:56:57,472
- Go on, go on.
- Nothing. He was working a sucker.
743
00:56:58,014 --> 00:57:01,177
- Giving him the pally act, that's all.
- Now think hard.
744
00:57:01,251 --> 00:57:04,243
Do you remember the sucker?
Do you remember what he looks like?
745
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,754
- Maybe.
- What do you mean, "Maybe"?
746
00:57:06,890 --> 00:57:10,826
- Maybe for 50 bucks.
- Why you...
747
00:57:11,995 --> 00:57:15,362
Do you think you could remember
for 1,000 bucks?
748
00:57:17,267 --> 00:57:19,258
Who could tell who he is?
749
00:57:19,469 --> 00:57:22,461
Can you describe
the man you saw Charlie with?
750
00:57:22,906 --> 00:57:26,273
Do I get $1,000 if I do?
751
00:57:26,443 --> 00:57:28,968
You do. If and when we find the guy.
752
00:57:29,379 --> 00:57:32,212
- Sure, I can describe him.
- Well, go ahead.
753
00:57:34,918 --> 00:57:37,819
- You paying the reward?
- No, but my boss is.
754
00:57:38,655 --> 00:57:41,647
- Then I'll describe it to him.
- Okay. Come on.
755
00:57:41,791 --> 00:57:44,385
Rush this over to the composing room.
756
00:57:44,761 --> 00:57:48,492
Kenny, see if you can figure out
a heading for that rubbish.
757
00:57:48,698 --> 00:57:50,723
Connie! Connie, take this.
758
00:57:58,475 --> 00:57:59,806
Wait here.
759
00:58:13,623 --> 00:58:15,318
Look, Lieutenant,
just refer the captain to me.
760
00:58:15,391 --> 00:58:18,189
I'll tell him he's cropping at the best
homicide man he ever had on the force.
761
00:58:18,261 --> 00:58:20,491
If he doesn't know that,
he's deaf, dumb and blind.
762
00:58:20,563 --> 00:58:22,861
Yeah, never mind the malarkey, Chapman!
763
00:58:22,932 --> 00:58:24,900
The next time
you people pull a stunt like this,
764
00:58:24,968 --> 00:58:27,596
I'll throw both you and McCleary in the can!
765
00:58:28,271 --> 00:58:31,832
Okay, Lieutenant, okay.
I give you my word. Goodbye, pal.
766
00:58:33,042 --> 00:58:35,340
Davis is screaming because we gave him
the suitcase only a half hour
767
00:58:35,411 --> 00:58:36,878
before he read it in the <i>Express.</i>
768
00:58:36,946 --> 00:58:39,437
Well, I've got something
that ought to make him happy again.
769
00:58:39,516 --> 00:58:40,744
Not another suitcase?
770
00:58:40,817 --> 00:58:44,776
A guy who can identify the man
Charlie got the pawn ticket from.
771
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:51,384
Hey, Bailey. Come in here.
772
00:59:00,103 --> 00:59:03,561
He wouldn't describe the guy to me.
He needed the boss.
773
00:59:06,643 --> 00:59:08,304
You the boss?
774
00:59:09,379 --> 00:59:13,611
Yeah, and don't waste my time.
Where'd you see this guy with Charlie?
775
00:59:15,818 --> 00:59:18,446
Down the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
776
00:59:19,956 --> 00:59:22,151
You say you can describe him?
777
00:59:41,844 --> 00:59:44,335
Well, go on. What did he look like?
778
00:59:54,057 --> 00:59:55,786
Stand up, will you?
779
01:00:04,467 --> 01:00:07,766
Yeah, just how I figured.
780
01:00:08,805 --> 01:00:10,432
You figured what?
781
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,272
He was your size,
782
01:00:17,313 --> 01:00:18,678
your build.
783
01:00:19,115 --> 01:00:21,345
Could have been as old as you.
784
01:00:21,951 --> 01:00:26,217
- Is that all?
- All you asked me was to describe him.
785
01:00:26,723 --> 01:00:30,625
That was no description!
That could fit a million guys in this town.
786
01:00:30,693 --> 01:00:34,060
- Even me.
- Well, how about the reward?
787
01:00:34,130 --> 01:00:38,123
Here, take this down to the cashier
and pick yourself up five bucks.
788
01:00:38,201 --> 01:00:41,261
- Show him where it is, Steve.
- Come on, Bailey.
789
01:01:30,186 --> 01:01:31,517
Hey, Baxter, where's Julie?
790
01:01:31,587 --> 01:01:34,078
She came in this morning,
banged this out on her typewriter,
791
01:01:34,157 --> 01:01:36,216
and told me to give it to Chapman.
792
01:01:36,292 --> 01:01:38,385
- What is it?
- Her resignation.
793
01:01:38,461 --> 01:01:42,261
I figured I'd hang onto it a day or so.
Maybe she'd cool off.
794
01:01:42,632 --> 01:01:46,261
I'm sure glad you did.
I'll take care of it for you, okay?
795
01:01:49,238 --> 01:01:50,762
Baxter, thanks.
796
01:02:00,883 --> 01:02:03,647
- Hello, Mrs. Allison.
- Well, hello, Steve. Come in.
797
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,051
Thank you.
798
01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:14,458
I have a pot of coffee in the kitchen.
I'd better see to it.
799
01:02:14,664 --> 01:02:16,564
Can I say a few words to you?
800
01:02:16,632 --> 01:02:19,533
Without getting hit with a table
or something?
801
01:02:19,602 --> 01:02:22,230
Speak your piece and get it over with.
802
01:02:22,338 --> 01:02:25,535
I just got rocked
with a bad piece of news, Julie.
803
01:02:25,742 --> 01:02:28,040
I heard about your resignation.
804
01:02:28,444 --> 01:02:31,845
Well, I can't imagine
why you'd shed any tears over it.
805
01:02:31,914 --> 01:02:33,211
Well, for what it's worth,
806
01:02:33,282 --> 01:02:36,308
your resigning knocks the props
out of a lot of things for me.
807
01:02:37,754 --> 01:02:40,655
That couldn't have come
from Steve McCleary.
808
01:02:41,791 --> 01:02:44,851
Okay, pass it. But I didn't figure
your burn at Chapman and me
809
01:02:44,927 --> 01:02:48,454
would be bigger than your wanting
to do something about Charlie's murder.
810
01:02:49,632 --> 01:02:52,829
Don't start playing me
for a hollow-headed female now, Steve.
811
01:02:52,902 --> 01:02:55,871
Your only interest, and Chapman's,
in Charlie's death is exploiting it
812
01:02:55,938 --> 01:02:59,601
- for all the circulation jumping it's worth!
- Julie, I'm not digging on a story now
813
01:02:59,675 --> 01:03:03,577
just for the school-boy bang of seeing
my name over a sensational yarn.
814
01:03:03,646 --> 01:03:06,672
Yeah, that's right, I had to get hit pretty hard
before I smartened up.
815
01:03:06,749 --> 01:03:09,309
But now I'm leveling
on the Charlie Barnes business.
816
01:03:13,422 --> 01:03:18,257
Well, if I can believe what I'm hearing,
this certainly is a different McCleary.
817
01:03:19,328 --> 01:03:20,955
I've been working night and day.
818
01:03:21,030 --> 01:03:24,227
All I've done is run the local leads
to a dead end.
819
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:29,294
There's only one gimmick left to follow.
This picture, the marriage in Connecticut.
820
01:03:29,472 --> 01:03:33,067
It's odd the person who married them
hasn't recognized it.
821
01:03:33,142 --> 01:03:36,077
Unless he's dead or hasn't seen the picture.
822
01:03:36,579 --> 01:03:40,310
Yeah, I thought of that angle, too.
But it's a million-to-one shot.
823
01:03:40,383 --> 01:03:43,716
A guy would have to be an elephant
to remember a face after 21 years.
824
01:03:44,787 --> 01:03:48,314
Tell him about the elephant we met
on Fifth Avenue, about four years ago.
825
01:03:48,391 --> 01:03:50,791
We were walking along the street when,
right out of the blue,
826
01:03:50,860 --> 01:03:53,021
a complete stranger stopped me.
827
01:03:53,095 --> 01:03:56,656
It turned out to be the little preacher
who married Julie's father and me
828
01:03:56,732 --> 01:03:59,724
in Portland, Maine, 23 years before!
829
01:04:01,404 --> 01:04:06,603
- And he actually was able to recognize you?
- And I'd put on a little weight since then.
830
01:04:07,210 --> 01:04:10,270
They say a New Englander
seldom forgets a face.
831
01:04:10,980 --> 01:04:13,813
Crazy odds, but what can we lose?
832
01:04:15,051 --> 01:04:16,416
Yeah, get this picture
833
01:04:16,485 --> 01:04:19,750
to every churchman, judge
and justice of the peace in Connecticut.
834
01:04:19,822 --> 01:04:24,259
- It's certainly worth trying.
- It's a big job. Compiling lists,
835
01:04:24,527 --> 01:04:26,620
- checking out leads.
- It can be done.
836
01:04:26,696 --> 01:04:28,687
The two of us could handle it, Julie.
837
01:04:29,732 --> 01:04:32,667
Well, I'd like to, Steve, but I've resigned.
838
01:04:32,735 --> 01:04:36,637
And I'd sooner drop dead
than ask Mark Chapman for my job back.
839
01:04:43,312 --> 01:04:45,803
- You dog!
- It never got past Baxter.
840
01:04:46,883 --> 01:04:48,908
A list of churches in each town
is no problem.
841
01:04:48,985 --> 01:04:52,318
The judges and JPs we can get
from the state legal directory in Hartford.
842
01:04:52,388 --> 01:04:54,720
Yeah, you start packing.
Enough for a couple of weeks.
843
01:04:54,790 --> 01:04:56,451
I'm going to the office
and get the lab boys started
844
01:04:56,525 --> 01:04:57,787
on knocking out a few hundred circulars.
845
01:04:57,860 --> 01:05:00,260
But suppose Chapman says no
to my working with you on it?
846
01:05:00,329 --> 01:05:03,492
Why should he? Anyway, I'm not going
to tell him anything until we're ready to go.
847
01:05:03,566 --> 01:05:04,658
Tonight sometime.
848
01:05:04,734 --> 01:05:08,898
Mom, you think it's safe for me to travel
out of state at night with this young man?
849
01:05:08,971 --> 01:05:12,702
Just so he doesn't misconstrue
the meaning of "freedom of the press."
850
01:05:12,775 --> 01:05:16,336
Hey, you wonderful woman.
I'll check with you for dinner.
851
01:05:21,417 --> 01:05:23,544
Steve, this is shot-in-the-dark stuff.
852
01:05:23,619 --> 01:05:26,452
Mark, more rabbit-brained ideas than this
have paid off.
853
01:05:26,522 --> 01:05:28,956
Your hottest lead is right here in town
where the murders were committed.
854
01:05:29,025 --> 01:05:32,290
Yeah, our hottest lead was in town,
but it dried up like a puddle in July.
855
01:05:32,361 --> 01:05:33,589
You're looking for a mental marvel,
856
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:36,154
a guy who can recognize somebody
he'd seen for 15 or 20 minutes
857
01:05:36,232 --> 01:05:38,757
at a wedding ceremony
he performed 21 years ago.
858
01:05:38,834 --> 01:05:41,394
How do we know he only saw them
for 15 or 20 minutes?
859
01:05:41,470 --> 01:05:44,200
Maybe they were members of his church
or were married by a judge
860
01:05:44,273 --> 01:05:46,298
or a justice in their own town.
861
01:05:46,375 --> 01:05:48,605
Steve, you're off
on a needle-in-a-haystack hunt.
862
01:05:48,678 --> 01:05:51,078
You can find a needle in a haystack
if you look long enough.
863
01:05:51,147 --> 01:05:53,775
You don't think I'm gonna let you
hang around up there indefinitely, do you?
864
01:05:53,849 --> 01:05:55,680
You won't have to. A week, probably.
865
01:05:55,751 --> 01:05:58,982
Julie Allison's coming along to help me.
It's all arranged.
866
01:05:59,055 --> 01:06:02,456
It's all arranged. And that five grand reward.
You arranged that, too?
867
01:06:02,525 --> 01:06:06,586
No, you did, or will.
Mark, what's eating you?
868
01:06:07,096 --> 01:06:09,257
I'm only checking out every possible angle.
869
01:06:09,332 --> 01:06:11,061
Kid, I don't want you to beat your brains out.
870
01:06:11,133 --> 01:06:13,033
We can get just so much
out of this Lonely Hearts story,
871
01:06:13,102 --> 01:06:16,128
and then we'll start easing it off
and let it die a natural death.
872
01:06:16,205 --> 01:06:19,368
Let it die? Mark, we let Charlie Barnes die!
873
01:06:20,509 --> 01:06:22,909
The least we can do now is to find his killer.
874
01:06:23,679 --> 01:06:26,443
You're the guy who pounded into me,
"Never give up till you've got the story."
875
01:06:26,515 --> 01:06:28,449
Well, I'm not quitting on this one
until I've licked it.
876
01:06:28,517 --> 01:06:30,985
You can reach me
at the Lenox Hotel in Hartford.
877
01:06:56,579 --> 01:06:57,978
Long distance.
878
01:06:58,047 --> 01:06:59,844
I want some information.
879
01:06:59,915 --> 01:07:01,906
A telephone number
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
880
01:07:01,984 --> 01:07:05,181
The name is Hacker. He's a judge.
I don't remember his first name.
881
01:07:05,254 --> 01:07:07,222
You wish to place a call to this party?
882
01:07:07,289 --> 01:07:10,383
No, no. Not yet, that is.
I just want to get his telephone number.
883
01:07:10,459 --> 01:07:12,188
<i>One moment, please.</i>
884
01:07:16,799 --> 01:07:20,235
Hello? The Middlebury operator
has no listing for anyone by that name.
885
01:07:21,037 --> 01:07:22,436
There isn't?
886
01:07:23,305 --> 01:07:25,296
Middlebury's a small town.
Will you ask the operator
887
01:07:25,374 --> 01:07:26,966
if she knows anything
about Judge Hacker at all?
888
01:07:27,043 --> 01:07:29,273
Is he deceased, moved away, or what?
889
01:07:29,345 --> 01:07:31,074
<i>One moment, please.</i>
890
01:07:35,518 --> 01:07:38,510
Hello? The local operator
has been in Middlebury for five years
891
01:07:38,587 --> 01:07:40,646
and knows no one
by the name of Judge Hacker.
892
01:07:40,723 --> 01:07:42,384
That's all the information she can give us.
893
01:07:43,959 --> 01:07:45,153
Thanks.
894
01:08:32,908 --> 01:08:35,308
No, Reverend,
I'm afraid that's not our couple.
895
01:08:36,412 --> 01:08:39,040
You may be positive, Reverend,
but you're mistaken.
896
01:08:39,115 --> 01:08:41,515
The woman in the photo we sent you
is dead.
897
01:08:41,584 --> 01:08:43,916
Thank you for calling, Reverend.
898
01:08:46,288 --> 01:08:48,153
You don't have to tell me.
899
01:08:48,224 --> 01:08:50,852
It's written all over
your bright and shining face.
900
01:08:50,926 --> 01:08:53,759
A 190-mile drive
to have a whack-head tell me
901
01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:56,423
that both the people in our circular
died a year ago.
902
01:08:57,766 --> 01:09:01,896
New Englanders remember, all right.
Every face is familiar to them.
903
01:09:04,406 --> 01:09:07,671
Hello? Just a minute, here's Steve.
904
01:09:08,110 --> 01:09:10,340
It's that man again. Every day.
905
01:09:10,412 --> 01:09:13,313
Does he think we'll keep it a big fat secret
if we find something?
906
01:09:15,284 --> 01:09:16,649
Yeah, Mark.
907
01:09:18,487 --> 01:09:20,819
Nothing but an aching back
and some interesting meetings
908
01:09:20,890 --> 01:09:22,824
with jelly-brained screwballs.
909
01:09:22,892 --> 01:09:26,555
You've had enough time, Steve. Ten days.
Admit it's a dud. Come on home.
910
01:09:26,629 --> 01:09:29,325
Two more days, Mark.
We'll stick it out to the end of the week.
911
01:09:29,899 --> 01:09:33,391
Get out of the haystack. It's easier
to find the needles at the scene of the crime.
912
01:09:33,469 --> 01:09:34,936
I'll see you.
913
01:09:35,771 --> 01:09:39,832
Two more days. I don't even know myself
why we're sticking around.
914
01:09:41,043 --> 01:09:42,772
Anything there that sounds good?
915
01:09:44,180 --> 01:09:47,946
I'll read you a fair sample.
From a J.P. Waterbury.
916
01:09:49,084 --> 01:09:52,451
"Send me $5,000
and I will tell you names of people."
917
01:09:52,655 --> 01:09:54,646
A new head I'll send him.
918
01:09:55,658 --> 01:09:58,320
I've got a headache.
I think I'll lie down for a while.
919
01:09:59,728 --> 01:10:01,855
Why don't you lie down here?
920
01:10:07,269 --> 01:10:08,998
I'll go to my room.
921
01:10:15,344 --> 01:10:17,744
McCleary. Okay, put him on.
922
01:10:18,681 --> 01:10:20,808
A guy calling from Franklin.
923
01:10:21,283 --> 01:10:23,308
Hello? Yeah, that's right.
924
01:10:25,955 --> 01:10:27,149
You do, huh?
925
01:10:29,258 --> 01:10:31,590
- You've got what?
- What is it?
926
01:10:31,827 --> 01:10:35,456
- Just a minute.
- I have the other picture right before me!
927
01:10:35,864 --> 01:10:41,131
Yes, I married them July 19th, 1931,
over in Middlebury.
928
01:10:42,438 --> 01:10:44,702
A funny thing. What's that?
929
01:10:48,143 --> 01:10:49,872
Judge Elroy Hacker.
930
01:10:50,379 --> 01:10:52,404
We'll be there in two hours, Judge.
931
01:10:52,481 --> 01:10:54,244
Sit tight
and keep your mouth shut about this.
932
01:10:54,316 --> 01:10:55,374
Bye.
933
01:10:55,584 --> 01:10:59,247
Go on, get packed.
He's liable to drop dead on us or something.
934
01:11:55,110 --> 01:11:58,102
For a man who can sit there
and watch his success increasing daily,
935
01:11:58,180 --> 01:12:00,011
you're looking much too troubled, Mark.
936
01:12:00,082 --> 01:12:03,210
It's just that these minor problems
always seem to require major thinking.
937
01:12:03,285 --> 01:12:06,379
Well, perhaps we can balance
the unpleasant with the pleasant.
938
01:12:06,455 --> 01:12:09,390
That conversation we had the other day
about your buying company stock.
939
01:12:09,458 --> 01:12:10,823
- Yeah?
- I just thought I'd tell you,
940
01:12:10,893 --> 01:12:14,920
- I think we can swing that.
- That's fine, Mr. Madison, just great.
941
01:12:14,997 --> 01:12:17,659
Well, there doesn't seem to be any doubt
you'll reach that bonus figure.
942
01:12:17,733 --> 01:12:19,064
It'll be pleasant having you as a partner,
943
01:12:19,134 --> 01:12:20,863
- so to speak, in the paper, Mark.
- Thanks.
944
01:12:20,936 --> 01:12:22,801
- Good night.
- Good night.
945
01:14:17,953 --> 01:14:19,147
Sorry to keep you this late, Mark,
946
01:14:19,221 --> 01:14:21,621
but we got hit with a mess of traffic
on the way in.
947
01:14:21,690 --> 01:14:23,157
Your wire sounded important.
948
01:14:23,225 --> 01:14:26,456
I found that needle,
or rather the man with the needle.
949
01:14:26,528 --> 01:14:29,725
Judge Elroy Hacker,
Mark Chapman, Managing Editor.
950
01:14:29,865 --> 01:14:32,925
- Glad to meet you, Judge.
- How do, Mr. Chapman?
951
01:14:33,902 --> 01:14:35,893
- Sit down, Judge.
- Thanks.
952
01:14:36,772 --> 01:14:38,672
Does the judge's needle sew anything up?
953
01:14:38,740 --> 01:14:41,231
Everything but knotting the thread
at the end.
954
01:14:41,310 --> 01:14:42,937
I mean the noose.
955
01:14:44,046 --> 01:14:45,240
What have you got?
956
01:14:45,314 --> 01:14:48,511
The identity of Mrs. Lonely Heart
and her husband.
957
01:14:49,117 --> 01:14:51,711
Judge Hacker married them
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
958
01:14:51,787 --> 01:14:54,688
Their names are Charlotte and George Grant.
959
01:14:58,827 --> 01:14:59,953
Did you get that, Mark?
960
01:15:00,028 --> 01:15:03,327
The name of the Lonely Heart Killer
is George Grant.
961
01:15:03,699 --> 01:15:05,530
Yeah, I heard you. Go on.
962
01:15:05,601 --> 01:15:08,229
Strike two. The judge is sure
he can identify George Grant
963
01:15:08,303 --> 01:15:10,203
when he sees him again.
964
01:15:10,806 --> 01:15:13,969
You see, I took this picture myself.
965
01:15:14,710 --> 01:15:17,338
A little extra service
the judge gave his bridal couples.
966
01:15:17,412 --> 01:15:20,711
Yes. I'd send them a print
and put one in my own scrapbook.
967
01:15:20,782 --> 01:15:22,579
The judge even furnished
the "just married" sign.
968
01:15:22,651 --> 01:15:24,118
Judge, you said
you married them in Middlebury,
969
01:15:24,186 --> 01:15:27,883
- but Steve found you in Franklin.
- I retired seven years ago.
970
01:15:27,956 --> 01:15:31,323
I'm partial to fishing,
so I moved over on the coast.
971
01:15:32,027 --> 01:15:34,928
I only happened
to see your circular by chance,
972
01:15:34,997 --> 01:15:37,830
in the office of a justice friend of mine.
973
01:15:40,602 --> 01:15:43,571
I always said you were born
in a field of shamrocks.
974
01:15:43,639 --> 01:15:47,769
Sure. The McClearys raised their kids
on nothing but rabbits' feet.
975
01:15:48,410 --> 01:15:52,471
Judge, what makes you so sure
you can identify George Grant today?
976
01:15:54,383 --> 01:15:57,250
Well, mainly because right after
I took that wedding picture,
977
01:15:57,319 --> 01:16:00,482
this Grant got vexed at his wife
about something.
978
01:16:01,590 --> 01:16:05,651
I can remember his voice, snapping at her.
His face getting red...
979
01:16:07,696 --> 01:16:11,598
I know what's in your bonnet, Mark.
We still have to find George Grant.
980
01:16:11,667 --> 01:16:14,363
A needle's nothing but a hunk of steel
if you've got nothing to sew.
981
01:16:14,436 --> 01:16:15,801
We just need the thread.
982
01:16:15,871 --> 01:16:18,203
I figure we'll pick that up
right here in New York.
983
01:16:18,273 --> 01:16:21,367
When the police line up all the local
George Grants for the judge to look over.
984
01:16:23,745 --> 01:16:27,416
That's Julie. I dropped her off
at headquarters to tell Davis what we've got.
985
01:16:29,251 --> 01:16:32,618
Friend Davis is steaming
like a pressure cooker, as I said he would.
986
01:16:32,688 --> 01:16:33,746
He'll simmer down.
987
01:16:33,822 --> 01:16:36,484
So will your
lining up the George Grants idea.
988
01:16:36,558 --> 01:16:40,255
Davis says he'll do nothing until you turn
Judge Hacker over to the police.
989
01:16:40,329 --> 01:16:42,763
- Steve, you can't hold...
- Relax, doll. He'll see the judge later.
990
01:16:42,831 --> 01:16:44,924
Not tonight he won't.
The judge is our exclusive beat.
991
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,230
Nobody gets to him
till our story breaks tomorrow.
992
01:16:47,302 --> 01:16:49,031
I don't trust cops.
993
01:16:51,607 --> 01:16:52,904
You and Julie start writing the story.
994
01:16:52,975 --> 01:16:56,308
I'll put the judge in a side-street hotel
where nobody will get to him.
995
01:16:56,378 --> 01:16:57,902
Come on, Judge.
996
01:17:01,316 --> 01:17:03,648
I'll just wait for Mr. McCleary.
997
01:17:04,987 --> 01:17:06,921
He was going to put me up at his place.
998
01:17:06,989 --> 01:17:08,581
That's the first place
the wolves will start baying.
999
01:17:08,657 --> 01:17:10,921
You better come with me, Judge.
1000
01:17:10,993 --> 01:17:15,157
No, I don't think it would be wise
for me to go with you, Mr. Grant.
1001
01:17:15,731 --> 01:17:18,325
- Mister...
- Chapman, Judge. Not Grant.
1002
01:17:18,734 --> 01:17:21,294
You'd better give your brain a rest.
You're gonna need it.
1003
01:17:21,370 --> 01:17:22,735
He may be Chapman now,
1004
01:17:22,804 --> 01:17:27,104
but 21 years ago, when I married them,
he was George Grant.
1005
01:17:27,509 --> 01:17:29,534
And he was a newspaperman.
1006
01:17:30,379 --> 01:17:34,145
I remember now. He said he worked
on the paper over in Waterford.
1007
01:17:34,216 --> 01:17:37,549
Waterford, Connecticut, was that town
I couldn't think of.
1008
01:17:37,619 --> 01:17:40,110
But I knew I'd remember that voice.
1009
01:17:40,422 --> 01:17:44,586
His face... You've changed.
But it's the same man.
1010
01:17:45,060 --> 01:17:48,086
You remember that $5,000 reward, though,
don't you, Judge?
1011
01:17:48,163 --> 01:17:51,428
Judge. This is impossible.
You're getting confused.
1012
01:17:51,633 --> 01:17:54,864
He sounds to me as though
he knows exactly what he's saying.
1013
01:17:54,936 --> 01:17:57,837
This is idiotic!
Screwball, crackbrained lunacy!
1014
01:17:57,906 --> 01:18:01,364
And that's just the kind of a witness
the judge is going to make, too, Steve.
1015
01:18:01,443 --> 01:18:03,240
The police have that specimen
of hair and flesh
1016
01:18:03,311 --> 01:18:05,905
found under Mrs. Grant's fingernails.
1017
01:18:06,348 --> 01:18:09,283
I think we'd better get in touch with Davis.
1018
01:18:09,551 --> 01:18:11,212
No phone, Allison.
1019
01:18:21,797 --> 01:18:26,359
Julie pegged you right off.
But me, still wet behind the ears McCleary.
1020
01:18:27,235 --> 01:18:29,328
I went for the sleigh ride.
1021
01:18:29,971 --> 01:18:35,409
I practically built the pedestal for Chapman.
The great newspaperman. The great guy.
1022
01:18:36,778 --> 01:18:41,545
There ought to be a special Pulitzer Prize
for the world's biggest sucker, McCleary.
1023
01:18:41,616 --> 01:18:44,141
Just another one of your stupid slobs!
1024
01:18:44,219 --> 01:18:45,948
Things happen, Steve,
and then there's just no end.
1025
01:18:46,021 --> 01:18:47,921
Killing my wife was an accident.
1026
01:18:47,989 --> 01:18:51,823
And Charlie. Charlie Barnes,
who never hurt a fly in his life.
1027
01:18:52,294 --> 01:18:54,057
A washed-up drunken rummy
who had nothing to live for
1028
01:18:54,129 --> 01:18:55,790
against a career
that was just reaching its prime.
1029
01:18:55,864 --> 01:18:59,322
- It wasn't an even exchange.
- You've got a great career ahead of you now.
1030
01:18:59,401 --> 01:19:02,302
That's all down the drain.
I gotta to make different plans now.
1031
01:19:02,370 --> 01:19:04,736
You should have started running
when you got my wire, sucker!
1032
01:19:04,806 --> 01:19:06,501
I gambled.
The stakes are big enough, you don't run
1033
01:19:06,575 --> 01:19:10,443
unless there's nothing else left to do.
Don't try it, kid.
1034
01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:30,190
Steve!
1035
01:19:50,986 --> 01:19:53,011
We're just too close, kid.
1036
01:19:57,292 --> 01:20:02,059
I figured I'd find you birds here.
Still playing me for a pushover, aren't you?
1037
01:20:04,032 --> 01:20:06,227
Steve, you remember how I told you
1038
01:20:06,301 --> 01:20:09,464
that someday you'd run into
a really great story?
1039
01:20:09,905 --> 01:20:11,736
Well, this one ought to do it, huh?
1040
01:20:12,474 --> 01:20:14,374
Yeah, this one will do.
1041
01:20:14,976 --> 01:20:16,603
I'll give you the lead on it.
1042
01:20:17,846 --> 01:20:18,972
"The elusive Lonely Heart Killer,
1043
01:20:19,047 --> 01:20:20,708
"object of a nationwide search

1044
01:20:20,782 --> 01:20:23,774

of the <i>New York Express.</i>
1045
01:20:25,387 --> 01:20:27,321
"He was apprehended

1046
01:20:27,389 --> 01:20:30,449
"who learned his trade
from the killer himself.
1047
01:20:31,259 --> 01:20:32,920
"The murderer was revealed

01:20:32,994 --> 01:20:35,827
"Managing Editor of the <i>New York Express."</i>
1049
01:20:37,766 --> 01:20:42,601
- Write it up big, kid. It'll sell a lot of papers.
- All right, drop it, Chapman.

Mark Chapman, editor of the New York Express, has made the newspaper a success by pursuing sensationalism and yellow journalism. His protégé is ace reporter Steve McCleary, while successful feature writer Julie Allison is frustrated by the paper's drift towards raking the muck. One night, during a lonely hearts dance organized by the Express, Chapman's estranged wife confronts him and demands that he visit her hotel room. It is revealed that Chapman's real name is George Grant, and he abandoned his wife decades earlier, changing his identity. When Chapman rebuffs her efforts toward reconciliation, she threatens to publicize his real identity. Chapman tries to restrain her, accidentally killing her in the scuffle.
Chapman attempts to cover up his crime, posing the scene to look like an accident. The police initially believe she slipped in the bathtub, but McCleary begins covering the case, and his reporting reveals it was a murder. McCleary is eager to run the story, and Chapman must acquiesce to avoid suspicion. The "mystery" murderer is dubbed the "Lonely Hearts Killer." Charlie Barnes, an alcoholic former star reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner, stumbles upon the dead woman's suitcase, in which he finds wedding photographs showing Chapman (then Grant) and his wife. He realizes that Chapman must be the killer. Barnes contacts Allison, who has been kind to him, attempting to give her the scoop, but Chapman overhears the conversation. He intercepts and kills Barnes before he can reveal the truth to a rival publication. This act only increases public interest in the story of the Lonely Hearts Killer, much to Chapman's frustration.
Assisted by Allison, McCleary continues to track down clues and leads. Eventually he locates another photo from Chapman/Grant's wedding, although the groom is shot in profile and it is not obvious that it is Chapman. McCleary and Allison travel to Connecticut to find the judge who married the murdered woman and the man in the photograph. After a week of searching, they identify the judge who conducted the marriage. They bring him back to the newspaper building, where he identifies Chapman as the groom and thus the Lonely Hearts Killer. McCleary is incredulous, but Allison puts the pieces together and the desperate Chapman pulls a gun on them. The police arrive, and Chapman cannot bring himself to shoot McCleary. Instead, he gives McCleary his blessing to publish all details of his crimes and then commits suicide by cop.

1
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,468
I know how you feel, lady.
2
00:01:52,545 --> 00:01:54,445
Just take your time
and tell me what happened.
3
00:01:54,514 --> 00:01:57,915
He had this meat ax, her blood all over it.
4
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:03,187
My brother-in-law had it.
Blood all over his hands, all over his shirt.
5
00:02:03,389 --> 00:02:05,687
I can't talk about it, Officer.
6
00:02:05,859 --> 00:02:08,851
I know it's rough, lady,
but I have to have the facts.
7
00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:14,298
He comes staggering out in the hall.
He says, "I did it. Call the cops."
8
00:02:15,101 --> 00:02:16,125
And then he...
9
00:02:16,202 --> 00:02:19,467
Snap it up, Captain.
Lieutenant Davis just blew in.
10
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,303
What's he going to do, Officer?
11
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:25,003
- I'm not a cop, lady.
- But you said...
12
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:27,610
All I said was,
"I had to ask you some questions."
13
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,079
I'm from the <i>Express.</i>
14
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:33,984
You made me go through all that.
Why, you're not decent! You're not human!
15
00:02:34,754 --> 00:02:38,121
- Sorry, lady. All part of the job.
- Well, well, Lieutenant Davis.
16
00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:42,252
- Say, this must have been a homicide.
- Hi, Lieutenant. Wait till you hear it.
17
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:45,092
- A messy one.
- You keep pulling stuff like this, McCleary,
18
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:50,193
and so help me, if it's the last thing I do,
I'll run you in! Now, that's a warning!
19
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:18,591
This is KL-75263. Get me Plaza-52099.
20
00:03:19,532 --> 00:03:24,401
You know, that wasn't a bad-Iooking dame.
Too bad the guy used an ax on her head.
21
00:03:25,271 --> 00:03:27,796
Spoiled some pretty pictures for me.
22
00:03:28,908 --> 00:03:31,877
Hey, Mark, have you put on the gloves
with those stockholders yet?
23
00:03:32,178 --> 00:03:34,203
Hi. No, I'm just taping up my hands.
24
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,976
<i>Well, you can tell them we got</i>
<i>another neat and gory one coming up.</i>
25
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:39,177
<i>Hatchet murder. Lower East Side tenement.</i>
26
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:41,652
<i>Wrapped up an exclusive interview</i>
<i>with an eyewitness.</i>
27
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:43,211
You got plenty of art?
28
00:03:43,289 --> 00:03:45,052
Yeah. Biddle grabbed all he could
of the body.
29
00:03:45,124 --> 00:03:49,185
A dame, very messy.
Got a great hysterical close-up of her sister.
30
00:03:49,529 --> 00:03:52,828
I'll even write the caption for you.
"I seen him with a bloody meat ax."
31
00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:54,592
Good. With that, I can sell papers.
32
00:03:54,667 --> 00:03:57,295
Give it to rewrite and we'll get it in the final.
Hold on. What do you want?
33
00:03:57,370 --> 00:04:00,237
Mr. Madison called down
from the boardroom again, Mr. Chapman.
34
00:04:00,306 --> 00:04:02,831
You hear that?
I'm letting them stew in their financial juices.
35
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:05,067
Well, don't overdo it. I like this job.
36
00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:08,273
You've never gone backwards
with me before, have you, kid?
37
00:04:08,348 --> 00:04:13,217
If we leave here, we'll bounce into
a bigger setup. I'll see you when you get in.
38
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:21,417
As one of the largest stockholders
in this corporation,
39
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:24,463
I would like to know
why the <i>New York Express,</i>
40
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:27,465
once a distinguished
and respected newspaper,
41
00:04:29,869 --> 00:04:33,600
has been allowed to become
a cheap and depraved publication.
42
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:38,835
Why has an editor been allowed
to turn a decent journal into this?
43
00:04:39,679 --> 00:04:41,613
A disgusting tabloid!
44
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,749
Pandering to the passions
of the base morons!
45
00:04:45,151 --> 00:04:47,847
I demand an explanation, Frank Madison.
46
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:54,750
Well, Mrs. Rawley, I...
In defense of Mark Chapman, I...
47
00:04:54,827 --> 00:04:58,263
Mr. Madison, I'd like to handle
my own defense, if you don't mind.
48
00:04:58,331 --> 00:04:59,855
Just as you say, Mark.
49
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:05,428
Mrs. Rawley, I think you
and the other stockholders should know
50
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:07,496
that your publisher hired me
as executive editor
51
00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:09,837
with full rights to transform this newspaper.
52
00:05:10,677 --> 00:05:14,443
He did this for a very simple reason.
He was fed up with operating at a loss.
53
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:18,611
Why did Mr. Madison hire me?
Well, he felt it was time that the <i>Express</i>
54
00:05:18,685 --> 00:05:21,745
buried its antiquated negative approach,
such as this.
55
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:25,756
But who won?
56
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:29,920
And become a positive newspaper.
We're in a business, ladies and gentlemen,
57
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:34,695
a business of satisfying the hunger
of the public for thrills, escape and news.
58
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:39,271
Here's where I took over
your highly respectable white elephant.
59
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:42,172
Instead of headlining a UN story,
we gave them a vice story.
60
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:44,368
Obviously, they went for it.
61
00:05:44,544 --> 00:05:46,239
We played down
the presidential appointments
62
00:05:46,312 --> 00:05:48,644
and concentrated
on the "Gorilla Man" killings.
63
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:51,576
Here's what happened.
Thirty or forty thousand new readers.
64
00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:54,245
Why, in a year, circulation's up over 110%.
65
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,686
And when we reach 750,000,
66
00:05:56,756 --> 00:06:00,886
we'll have to pay you a big bonus.
I'm not sure I like this at all.
67
00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:02,761
Did you like the dividend check
you got last month
68
00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:04,194
for the first time in 12 years?
69
00:06:04,263 --> 00:06:07,323
I don't like this, sir.
What kind of journalism is this?
70
00:06:07,967 --> 00:06:10,026
A newspaper
staging a cheap, vulgar display
71
00:06:10,103 --> 00:06:13,266
in order to attract
the stupid slobs of the city!
72
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,865
The thousands who will attend
the Lonely Heart dance tonight,
73
00:06:15,942 --> 00:06:18,467
these poor, friendly, unhappy people
whom you call stupid slobs,
74
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:20,569
buy and read this newspaper.
75
00:06:20,646 --> 00:06:22,944
Their loyalty helped put that dividend check
in your pocket.
76
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:26,712
And I suppose you think it's a public service
when one of your reporters is arrested
77
00:06:26,786 --> 00:06:30,745
for withholding information from the police?
Or whatever it was.
78
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:34,150
This, what's his name, McCleary person,
79
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,352
and the things he writes about!
I think he should be fired!
80
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:39,295
This McCleary person
is the best young reporter I've seen
81
00:06:39,365 --> 00:06:41,060
in 25 years of newspapering.
82
00:06:41,134 --> 00:06:43,193
Before I'll fire him,
I'll throw the <i>Express</i> up for grabs
83
00:06:43,269 --> 00:06:45,669
and go to work for somebody
who appreciates real talent on a paper!
84
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:47,262
- Mark, I'm sure...
- One last thing.
85
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:50,798
The only contract I have here is a handshake
between Mr. Madison and myself.
86
00:06:50,877 --> 00:06:53,141
Now, unless you give me full rights
to run this paper the way I want,
87
00:06:53,212 --> 00:06:55,271
I'll quit after the final edition today.
88
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:58,784
Now, I'm sorry I can't stay with you
any longer. I have a newspaper to get out!
89
00:07:06,092 --> 00:07:10,426
- Your story ready, Miss Allison?
- I'll have the rest in a minute, Joey.
90
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:13,831
Mr. Chapman?
91
00:07:16,502 --> 00:07:17,696
Thanks.
92
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:26,937
McCleary story in yet, Bax?
93
00:07:32,485 --> 00:07:34,885
How'd you make out in the torture chamber?
94
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:40,450
This is good. Give it a big play.
Mac'll do a byline follow-up tomorrow.
95
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:43,825
- What are these?
- Pics for that Lonely Heart spread.
96
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:45,820
- Junk them.
- But I...
97
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:47,092
Take Peters off the Lonely Hearts.
98
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:48,997
He's photographing these slobs
like a lineup in a soup kitchen
99
00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:50,660
instead of panting for a red-hot romance.
100
00:07:50,736 --> 00:07:52,533
- Okay. But I...
- Yeah?
101
00:07:52,939 --> 00:07:54,566
Yes, Mr. Madison.
102
00:07:58,211 --> 00:08:00,611
- Get an ax, smear it with blood.
- Yeah? Whose?
103
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,171
Yours. If you can't spare any,
use chocolate syrup or something.
104
00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:07,652
Chocolate? Goody! When I'm through,
I can make a plate of fudge. Drop in.
105
00:08:08,721 --> 00:08:12,157
So, you still insist a woman having 20 kids
is worth a feature article?
106
00:08:12,225 --> 00:08:15,422
Hi, genius.
I think it's worth a whole front page.
107
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:18,391
It scares me, this maternal instinct of yours.
108
00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:20,955
Decided where you're taking me
to dinner tonight?
109
00:08:23,736 --> 00:08:25,966
If Chapman hasn't been canned,
110
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,169
you're going to dine with the worst loser
who ever paid off a bet.
111
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:31,608
Then you'd better stash some
bicarbonate soda in your bag, princess.
112
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:32,837
You're gonna need it.
113
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:35,437
Don't count your steaks
before you hear the sizzle.
114
00:08:37,617 --> 00:08:39,608
Well, what's the word? Are you ex or still?
115
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,880
They're not dumb enough
to throw out a winner.
116
00:08:41,954 --> 00:08:44,650
Congratulations. I knew you'd stick
their stocks right back in their teeth.
117
00:08:44,724 --> 00:08:46,555
I told them if they fired me,
McCleary would quit, too,
118
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:49,060
and then they'd be in real trouble.
119
00:08:49,128 --> 00:08:50,527
I wouldn't put it past them
to try and dump you
120
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:53,929
to get out of paying the bonus that's
staring them right in their glassy eyes.
121
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,331
I've got news for you.
122
00:08:55,401 --> 00:08:57,528
I'm going to cut you in
for a piece of that bonus.
123
00:08:57,603 --> 00:08:59,298
What do you want me to do, retire?
124
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:00,566
I thought we could make a deal with Madison
125
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,698
to buy some of the company's stock.
126
00:09:01,774 --> 00:09:03,901
You know, kid,
we could end up owning this newspaper.
127
00:09:03,976 --> 00:09:06,536
- Well, that's the best offer I've had all week.
- I'll make you another one.
128
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:09,080
I'll take you to dinner tonight.
You pick the spot.
129
00:09:10,349 --> 00:09:14,012
I'll make you a better offer.
My date's buying. She lost a bet.
130
00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:17,544
The Grand Duchess from Vassar again?
The way I feel, I can put up with anything.
131
00:09:17,623 --> 00:09:19,818
- I'm more worried, can she put up with you?
- Get her ready.
132
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:24,124
We've got to be at the ballroom at 8:00.
There's no time for nose powder.
133
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:32,597
Don't break your ears with that grin.
I can see. He's still in.
134
00:09:33,005 --> 00:09:36,532
- No loud whoops of joy, baby?
- Well, I tried everything.
135
00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:39,770
I crossed my fingers,
said prayers, burned candles.
136
00:09:39,845 --> 00:09:43,713
- Who's your tailor, princess?
- Let's get out of here.
137
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,075
I've had to look at that Chapman face all day.
138
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:50,714
I've got to cover his fiasco tonight
and suffer some more.
139
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:53,987
At least just looking at you for an hour
will be a welcome change.
140
00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:57,496
- Lf you're taking me to dinner, let's go.
- Taking him?
141
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,195
Wait a minute.
Our bet was between you and me.
142
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:03,463
Our bet was loser buys dinner.
We didn't say for how many.
143
00:10:03,536 --> 00:10:06,994
- Why, you double-crossing...
- I knew you'd be a good loser.
144
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:10,807
Someday remind me to tell you about girls.
145
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:20,248
You talk a couple of these suckers
into getting married.
146
00:10:20,319 --> 00:10:21,581
These Lonely Heart slobs got the gimmies,
147
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:23,519
and we've got plenty to give them
from the advertisers.
148
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:25,284
If you talk one couple
into getting married by 9:00,
149
00:10:25,358 --> 00:10:27,883
by 12:00 we'll have a dozen lined up
for wedded bliss.
150
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,155
- McCleary, the Brooklyn cupid.
- McCleary, the human yes man.
151
00:10:30,229 --> 00:10:31,594
Hey, Julie!
152
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:34,155
- Hello, Charlie.
- Charlie.
153
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:38,225
- How are you, Barnes?
- Fine, Mark. You're looking fit. McCleary.
154
00:10:38,571 --> 00:10:39,595
Thank you.
155
00:10:39,672 --> 00:10:41,799
What goes on? Are you ghosting
Allison's features, Charlie?
156
00:10:41,874 --> 00:10:43,774
No, he's helping me with research
for that series
157
00:10:43,843 --> 00:10:45,640
on historical monuments in New York.
158
00:10:45,711 --> 00:10:47,872
You couldn't pick a better man.
I ought to know.
159
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:50,006
Remember those old days, Mark?
160
00:10:50,082 --> 00:10:53,813
Like the time I cut the phone cables
at the Lindbergh trial?
161
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:55,520
You scooped me. Almost cost me my job.
162
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:59,957
Scooped you, the wire services,
scooped everybody. That was the year...
163
00:11:00,026 --> 00:11:02,358
That was the year you won the Pulitzer Prize.
164
00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:06,826
Listen, Mark.
This stuff I've been doing for Julie, it's...
165
00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:13,200
- Mark, I think I'm ready to go back to work.
- That's fine. I'm glad to hear it, Charlie.
166
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,164
How about it, Mark? How about a job?
167
00:11:19,645 --> 00:11:21,510
- Why not?
- Thanks.
168
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:25,447
- Charlie, I'm so proud of you!
- This is gonna take a little juggling.
169
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:26,849
I won't be able to do anything right away.
170
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:28,978
Look, Charlie, I'll call you.
We're late, we gotta rush.
171
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:31,785
Sure, Mark, I know how it is,
always on the go.
172
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:35,258
- Coffee in the morning? Skinners?
- Sure thing, Julie.
173
00:11:40,199 --> 00:11:41,257
All the time I thought you were a...
174
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:43,699
- How much did you give him?
- $10. He earned it.
175
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:44,929
Ten bucks?
176
00:11:45,004 --> 00:11:47,336
- Buy a lot of whiskey.
- Did you see that rum-dumb?
177
00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:49,806
- Come midnight, he'll be in the gutter.
- Now, wait a minute.
178
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:51,274
He's an alky, Julie.
You shouldn't give an alky
179
00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:52,367
more than a buck at a time.
180
00:11:52,445 --> 00:11:55,414
You're liable to kill him.
Ten bucks, he can take a bath in it.
181
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:58,314
But... Well, this job
will change everything for him.
182
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:01,319
Job? I wouldn't have him in my office,
let alone on my staff.
183
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:04,117
In you go, sucker. Where are you going?
184
00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:07,085
I'm not going to let him go off believing this.
185
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:10,617
- Do you want to break his heart?
- Do I? What do you think you're doing?
186
00:12:10,696 --> 00:12:13,358
I'm giving him hopes and dreams.
A rummy like that lives on dreams.
187
00:12:13,432 --> 00:12:17,061
- He's happy. Why spoil it?
- Happy? Happy like your Lonely Hearts,
188
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,798
looking forward to those big romances
they've been promised?
189
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:23,069
- Only Charlie's romance is with a bottle.
- Get in.
190
00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:48,057
Biddle, don't leave that camera at half mast.
Stop goldbricking on the other guys.
191
00:12:48,134 --> 00:12:52,127
I must have got 100 shots already,
Mr. Chapman. My arm's giving out.
192
00:12:52,204 --> 00:12:56,334
You've only started. I want shots of people
from every state. Now start shooting.
193
00:12:58,911 --> 00:13:01,038
How are you doing, princess?
194
00:13:01,147 --> 00:13:04,116
Well, it's an effort,
but I'm trying to keep from screaming.
195
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:06,981
You were a real bundle of laughs
during dinner, too.
196
00:13:07,052 --> 00:13:08,781
Why don't you simmer down now?
197
00:13:08,854 --> 00:13:10,515
You're not so pretty
when your feathers are all ruffled.
198
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:13,183
Don't, Steve. I'm in no mood for levity.
199
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:17,491
- Do you feel like dancing?
- Do you figure that'll smooth my feathers?
200
00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:21,691
I've got a great idea for you. Grab yourself
one of these Lonely Heart boys.
201
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:25,066
Tell him you're a club date. Con him.
Get his life history.
202
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:28,903
- And there's your feature for tomorrow.
- Mark Chapman, Junior.
203
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:31,568
It'll sell papers, you left that out.
204
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:34,871
Happy hunting, cupid.
Mustn't let the boss down.
205
00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:38,312
Save at least one dance for me, princess.
206
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:58,034
Every time I aim my lens
at one of these walking zombies,
207
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:01,334
I think of the time
I covered the Miss America contest.
208
00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:03,705
The tears almost start to flow.
209
00:14:06,378 --> 00:14:09,370
From McCleary, you get nothing but service.
Ten minutes before 9:00,
210
00:14:09,448 --> 00:14:13,179
and couple number one. Mary and Joe
met in front of the Arkansas booth.
211
00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:16,221
It was love at first sight, almost. Right?
212
00:14:16,288 --> 00:14:20,349
Well, sure. I'm from Texas,
but I sure love that Arkansas cooking.
213
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,890
- You love her, don't you?
- Well, sure, I reckon so.
214
00:14:23,963 --> 00:14:26,158
- Mary, you love him?
- Yes.
215
00:14:26,966 --> 00:14:31,130
- See, they're crazy about each other.
- Yeah, that's fine. Hey, Edwards.
216
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:33,535
We've got a romance going here.
They're ready for the orange blossoms.
217
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,837
- Well, how do you do? And congratulations.
- Save the teeth for the bandstand.
218
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:38,171
Get up there
and make the big announcement.
219
00:14:38,244 --> 00:14:42,044
Yes, sir, Mr. Chapman.
Come with me, you lucky, lucky people.
220
00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:46,842
Hey, you ain't gonna forget about the bed
with the built-in television set?
221
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:48,614
You'll spend your honeymoon in front of it.
222
00:14:51,624 --> 00:14:55,321
- Nice going, Steve, keep punching.
- I'll get the camera boys up to cover it.
223
00:14:57,129 --> 00:15:01,862
- Did you find a feature to write about yet?
- I haven't, and I don't intend to.
224
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:05,435
This bribing of poor, ignorant dopes
into a public wedding
225
00:15:05,504 --> 00:15:07,665
is cheap, cruel and disgusting.
226
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:10,573
This whole Wild West show is ridiculous,
and I want no part of it.
227
00:15:10,643 --> 00:15:13,305
Miss Allison,
your contract has six months to run.
228
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:17,281
My contract was made with Mr. Madison
before you took over the <i>Express.</i>
229
00:15:17,349 --> 00:15:18,543
If you don't like the way I run the paper,
230
00:15:18,617 --> 00:15:21,245
I have an agreement
that might be satisfactory to both of us.
231
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,811
Take six months' vacation with pay!
232
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:30,286
No, thank you, Mr. Chapman. I'll work it out.
I like my feature writing.
233
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,898
Thinking people like it, too,
234
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:37,561
even though there aren't many of them
buying the <i>Express</i> anymore. Good night!
235
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:43,605
That's it.
236
00:15:50,382 --> 00:15:53,613
<i>Friends, brothers and sisters</i>
<i>in the Lonely Hearts Club.</i>
237
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:55,677
<i>I have wonderful news for you,</i>
238
00:15:55,754 --> 00:15:59,747
<i>living proof that this magnificent club</i>
<i>is more than just a name.</i>
239
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:04,386
<i>But first, how would you like to meet</i>
<i>the great man who created your club?</i>
240
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:11,998
<i>Mr. Mark Chapman,</i>
<i>editor of the</i> New York Express.
241
00:16:12,071 --> 00:16:14,665
<i>Put the spotlight on him, over there!</i>
242
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,782
<i>Now here's the wonderful news.</i>
243
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:37,056
<i>Meet Mary and Joe, two happy people</i>
<i>who came here tonight as total strangers.</i>
244
00:16:37,463 --> 00:16:42,400
<i>They met, they danced, they found love.</i>
<i>They're going to get married!</i>
245
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,474
George?
246
00:16:57,516 --> 00:17:00,041
<i>- As the first couple who fell in love tonight...</i>
- George Grant!
247
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:01,814
<i>...Mary and Joe will receive...</i>
- It is you!
248
00:17:01,887 --> 00:17:03,752
<i>...compliments of the</i> Express...
- Charlotte.
249
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:05,119
<i>... a wedding night in a New York hotel...</i>
250
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:08,921
Finding you here...
I was so sure that you must be dead.
251
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:11,759
George Grant is dead.
252
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:14,259
Yes, I just heard.
253
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,134
- You're the...
- We can't talk here.
254
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:19,901
We can talk at my place, George.
255
00:17:20,806 --> 00:17:23,036
We've got a lot to talk about.
256
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:26,509
Go on out. I'll meet you at the side entrance.
257
00:17:32,785 --> 00:17:35,151
The years have been kinder to you.
258
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:38,621
What is it, 19, 20?
I used to keep track, but I don't...
259
00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:41,716
What's the difference?
Now that you found me, what do you want?
260
00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:57,401
May I?
261
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:07,375
- Come on, quit stalling around.
- What was it they called you at the ball?
262
00:18:07,453 --> 00:18:08,977
- Mark?
- Chapman.
263
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:15,755
When did you change your name, George?
Right after you left me?
264
00:18:17,062 --> 00:18:18,962
So I wouldn't find you?
265
00:18:19,631 --> 00:18:21,292
You knew I was so crazy about you
266
00:18:21,366 --> 00:18:24,028
I'd look and look and look,
didn't you, George?
267
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,697
Come on, get to it. What do you want?
268
00:18:27,739 --> 00:18:32,574
You're still in a hurry, aren't you?
That's the thing I remember best about you.
269
00:18:32,878 --> 00:18:37,645
The fellow who always ran and never walked.
Had to get places fast!
270
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,749
And you got places, didn't you, George?
271
00:18:44,323 --> 00:18:46,883
Here, you need some money?
Here's some for now.
272
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,860
Money? The payoff, George?
273
00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:54,497
How much? How much for each year?
274
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:58,633
How much for the agony
and the heartbreak and the fear?
275
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:03,141
- Charlotte, cut the ham act.
- This could be for the doctor bill, see?
276
00:19:06,578 --> 00:19:10,173
I was 20 years younger then,
took things more seriously.
277
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:14,142
I can't imagine how much.
278
00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:18,087
You're boring me now, like you always did.
279
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:20,388
People always bored you
280
00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:23,155
when you didn't have
any more use for them, didn't they, George?
281
00:19:23,228 --> 00:19:25,025
Bores and nuisances, I get rid of them.
282
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:27,497
Yeah, the same gentle way
you got rid of me.
283
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:28,692
My lawyer will get in touch with you.
284
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:31,702
He'll arrange a quiet divorce
and generous alimony.
285
00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:34,671
You're an important man now,
aren't you, George?
286
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:37,038
Editor of the <i>New York Express.</i>
287
00:19:38,977 --> 00:19:43,346
I never thought I'd be the wife of the editor
of a big New York newspaper.
288
00:19:43,415 --> 00:19:47,112
You're not, and don't get any ideas
about forcing yourself.
289
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:51,020
You've got nothing to gain by refusing me
a divorce now like you did 20 years ago.
290
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:56,759
I was young then and so foolishly in love.
I wanted so much to hold onto you.
291
00:19:57,496 --> 00:20:00,021
I made all of my mistakes when I was young,
and you were the biggest one.
292
00:20:00,098 --> 00:20:02,794
I fell for an attractive hunk of flesh.
293
00:20:04,169 --> 00:20:07,627
"Hold me." You didn't try to hang on.
You strangled me.
294
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,936
I'd smother to death with you.
295
00:20:15,747 --> 00:20:19,808
Turnabout's fair play.
When you walked out on me, I died inside.
296
00:20:20,352 --> 00:20:23,116
When I walk out of here, you're gonna die.
297
00:20:23,188 --> 00:20:27,852
Everything you worked for, grabbed for,
ruined people to get, it's all gonna die!
298
00:20:27,926 --> 00:20:29,393
You're a neurotic screwball!
299
00:20:29,461 --> 00:20:33,955
I'm gonna spread your story all over town.
Mark Chapman, the great editor!
300
00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:37,829
Wife deserter!
Living under a false name for 20 years.
301
00:20:39,137 --> 00:20:42,334
What else did you cover up
living under a phony name?
302
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:44,637
Your publishers are gonna love this.
303
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:49,044
And the other papers, they'll cut you
to ribbons with this information!
304
00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,470
Hi, honey, let me have the city room.
305
00:23:33,812 --> 00:23:37,179
This is Elkins.
If you need me, I'm over in Skinners.
306
00:23:38,316 --> 00:23:41,808
What? Having breakfast. Yeah, breakfast.
307
00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:53,323
Yes, Julie, after that fortunate
and historical meeting with Mark yesterday,
308
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:57,629
I had considerable difficulty
wooing the fickle Morpheus.
309
00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:01,939
That explains it.
Those bleeding eyes today.
310
00:24:02,474 --> 00:24:05,341
Well, I did have a couple
with the boys down below.
311
00:24:05,410 --> 00:24:08,277
A sort of celebration, and then farewell.
312
00:24:11,049 --> 00:24:13,574
You should have left them long ago, Charlie.
313
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:15,916
Any man who was big enough
in his day to rate that,
314
00:24:16,555 --> 00:24:20,389
a place in Skinner's Hall of Fame,
is still too big for Dead-End Street.
315
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:25,028
No regrets, Julie. My temporary alliance
with the denizens of the Bowery
316
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:29,863
has provided me with a deeper insight
into the whys and wherefores of mankind.
317
00:24:35,674 --> 00:24:38,006
A proven medical fact,
when the human system
318
00:24:38,076 --> 00:24:40,840
has been lengthily nurtured
on alcoholic stimulants,
319
00:24:40,912 --> 00:24:44,871
any abrupt cessation of same
will result in a negative reaction.
320
00:24:45,016 --> 00:24:46,381
Absolutely.
321
00:24:47,652 --> 00:24:52,385
But I'm tapering off. I'll be a firmly-rooted
passenger on the old water wagon
322
00:24:52,524 --> 00:24:54,856
by the time Mark's ready for me.
323
00:24:57,295 --> 00:25:01,561
Charlie, don't bet everything
on Mark Chapman.
324
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:06,666
He won't let me down.
First time I felt ready, I asked him for a job,
325
00:25:06,938 --> 00:25:10,032
and what happened?
He offered me one, didn't he?
326
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:15,173
- Mr. Lonely Heart.
- Compliments of the <i>Express,</i> Myrtle.
327
00:25:15,747 --> 00:25:18,545
- I see you read. You stick with the radio.
- Yeah.
328
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:20,744
Hey, McCleary,
I read that rag of yours by accident.
329
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:23,287
Yeah, me, too.
From ax murder to Ionely hearts.
330
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:25,653
What are you trying to prove,
you're versatile or something?
331
00:25:25,724 --> 00:25:27,885
What are you gentlemen
reading our rag for?
332
00:25:27,959 --> 00:25:30,427
Trying to find out
what's happening that's news?
333
00:25:30,495 --> 00:25:32,929
Good morning, kiddies. What's the word?
334
00:25:35,066 --> 00:25:36,624
Silly, that's the word.
335
00:25:36,701 --> 00:25:38,635
Still a heaping bunch of joy,
aren't you, princess?
336
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:43,663
Lonely Hearts Ball. Journalism has certainly
changed since the old days.
337
00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:47,302
What happened to you last night?
Pulled a fast fade on me.
338
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:50,712
- Don't tell me you actually missed me?
- I needed protection.
339
00:25:50,782 --> 00:25:53,250
Some of our love-hungry subscribers
got mixed up.
340
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:56,014
They were offering me deep-freezes
and vacuum cleaners.
341
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:59,318
- I'm surprised you refused.
- How do you know I did?
342
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:02,849
Certainly heavy coverage
on the unrequited passion set.
343
00:26:03,261 --> 00:26:06,924
Our love and romance edition, Charlie.
Even the crossword puzzle.
344
00:26:06,998 --> 00:26:08,966
But nothing from the Allison corner.
345
00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:12,335
Not interested in romance, Julie?
346
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:16,465
Not the kind that blossoms
on free gas stoves and television sets.
347
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:21,235
- About that Lonely Heart gag, I've got a...
- Steve, on the radio.
348
00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:27,652
- Julie. Hi, Charlie.
- Hi, Biddle.
349
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:31,086
Police call. Dead dame in a flat
on Third Avenue. Are you interested?
350
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:33,090
Well, she'd probably be a cheerful change.
351
00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:36,685
I'm still getting the icebox treatment
from the female on my left.
352
00:26:36,761 --> 00:26:40,162
After them scarecrows I shot last night,
I figure my luck's gotta change.
353
00:26:40,231 --> 00:26:43,428
Even dead, this dame's bound
to have more glamour.
354
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:45,467
Let's give her a look.
355
00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:48,801
Thanks for the coffee, kitten.
356
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:03,785
Another scarecrow. I'm batting goose eggs.
357
00:27:05,323 --> 00:27:07,848
Dames have got to make trouble
even when they die, don't they, pal?
358
00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:11,384
Yeah, water downstairs and water upstairs.
359
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:14,531
Probably wanted a room
with a swimming pool.
360
00:27:14,966 --> 00:27:16,866
Hey, Davis, what are you doing here?
361
00:27:16,935 --> 00:27:21,031
I just wanted to see if I couldn't get
to one of our calls before you did.
362
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:22,471
This isn't a homicide?
363
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:24,531
We got a new man
on the beat here, McCleary.
364
00:27:24,609 --> 00:27:26,167
He's built like you between the ears.
365
00:27:26,244 --> 00:27:29,975
He saw a hole in the back of the dame's head
and figured she was slugged.
366
00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:31,515
What's your guess, Lieutenant?
367
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:33,949
She put the hole
in the back of her head herself?
368
00:27:34,019 --> 00:27:36,783
Yeah, wise-eyes, that's it. That's it exactly.
369
00:27:36,855 --> 00:27:40,291
She slipped in the tub
and opened her skull on a faucet.
370
00:27:40,358 --> 00:27:43,953
- What was the lady's name, Sherlock?
- The landlady says Jane Jones.
371
00:27:44,029 --> 00:27:45,360
- Do you believe it?
- Yeah, I believe it.
372
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:47,762
I'm fresh out of nursery school.
373
00:27:48,466 --> 00:27:52,402
Jane Jones, alias Jane Doe.
Say, Dave, you're really humming.
374
00:27:53,204 --> 00:27:56,401
Look, nuisance, if you so much as make
these bedsprings squeak once again,
375
00:27:56,474 --> 00:28:00,308
- I'll throw you in the tub with the dame.
- Lieutenant, please.
376
00:28:04,616 --> 00:28:08,177
You're wrong, Dave.
She was murdered. Clear as your head.
377
00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:10,347
Murdered for her money.
378
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:13,949
Why, this lady must have spent easily
six or seven dollars a year on clothes.
379
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:15,492
Why don't you go home, McCleary?
380
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,462
There's nothing around here
to interest a big newsman like you.
381
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:27,827
Look, junior, keep your nose
in your own business, or I'll run you in
382
00:28:27,906 --> 00:28:31,137
- for obstruction, suspicion and vagrancy.
- Why, sure, Dave.
383
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:33,837
I just thought there might be something
in here to help identify her.
384
00:28:33,912 --> 00:28:35,243
No suitcase, huh?
385
00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:41,715
- In there, boys.
- Okay, Steve, I got all I need.
386
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:46,957
Thanks, Dave.
387
00:28:49,127 --> 00:28:52,062
- No, not you two again.
- What do you guys do,
388
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:54,758
smell these things
before the police call is even in?
389
00:28:54,833 --> 00:28:57,301
Try to forget your mugs.
There's a lady in the bathroom.
390
00:28:57,368 --> 00:29:00,531
- Yes, so knock before entering.
- Coming through.
391
00:29:10,381 --> 00:29:12,406
- What'd you pinch that for?
- Look familiar?
392
00:29:12,484 --> 00:29:15,544
I had them in front of me all night, didn't I?
393
00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:18,747
Hey, that's off a Lonely Hearts badge!
394
00:29:18,823 --> 00:29:22,554
Yeah. How many pictures
did you and the boys take at the ball?
395
00:29:22,627 --> 00:29:24,925
Three, maybe four hundred. I don't know.
396
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:27,260
Rush the print of Miss Bathtub
through the lab.
397
00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:28,594
Then check it against the others.
398
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:30,964
- See if you can match them up, okay?
- Sure.
399
00:29:31,035 --> 00:29:34,937
- Shouldn't take more than a week.
- Yeah, but I want it done in an hour.
400
00:29:35,006 --> 00:29:36,701
- I'll see you at the office.
- Where are you going?
401
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:39,903
I'm gonna hitch a ride to the morgue.
If you match them, call me.
402
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,674
How about a ride to the morgue, Pete?
403
00:30:04,969 --> 00:30:07,096
Hey, Needle Nellie, anybody home?
404
00:30:07,172 --> 00:30:08,662
Hey, handsome.
405
00:30:09,007 --> 00:30:11,271
- How you doing, sweetheart?
- Doing all right, handsome.
406
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:13,037
Come here and give us a kiss.
407
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,815
- How's business at the morgue, Nellie?
- Dead.
408
00:30:19,551 --> 00:30:21,178
Business is dead.
409
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:25,621
- It's good to see you, handsome.
- Likewise, sweetheart.
410
00:30:25,690 --> 00:30:27,385
A long time between dates.
411
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:30,621
But right now,
I come seeking your expert female advice.
412
00:30:30,695 --> 00:30:34,131
Anybody that's lived as long as me
can give it. Shoot.
413
00:30:34,732 --> 00:30:37,565
Nellie, if you had just one dress
to your name
414
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:39,535
and you'd fastened something onto it
with a safety pin,
415
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:40,969
and maybe you were in a hurry,
416
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,008
would you take time to undo the pin,
or would you rip the whole thing off?
417
00:30:44,075 --> 00:30:46,305
- This is a riddle?
- No, seriously.
418
00:30:46,377 --> 00:30:51,041
Well, if I had 10 dresses and the house
was burning down, I'd still undo the pin.
419
00:30:51,115 --> 00:30:52,639
Any lady would.
420
00:30:53,017 --> 00:30:55,485
That's what I figured.
I just wanted a woman to confirm it.
421
00:30:55,553 --> 00:30:57,453
I love you, Nellie. I love you.
422
00:30:57,522 --> 00:31:00,047
- Where you going, handsome?
- I gotta see the doc.
423
00:31:00,124 --> 00:31:01,955
Maybe I can get you some business, Nellie.
424
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:11,364
Did you get those ringside ducats
I sent you?
425
00:31:11,436 --> 00:31:13,427
Steve! Yeah, it was a great fight.
426
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:15,438
Mishke really tore that Haybelly apart,
didn't he?
427
00:31:15,506 --> 00:31:19,840
Had so much blood spattered on my glasses,
I missed the knockout punch.
428
00:31:20,478 --> 00:31:24,175
Look, Doc,
they just brought in an accidental death.
429
00:31:24,249 --> 00:31:27,047
- They're putting her in the freezer right now.
- So?
430
00:31:27,118 --> 00:31:30,110
So, I'd like you to give her
the onceover for me. An autopsy.
431
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:33,646
Accidents are out of my province.
You know that, Steve.
432
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:35,383
It's going to be
a great World Series this year.
433
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:37,087
Yeah, that it is.
434
00:31:37,528 --> 00:31:41,362
I don't suppose you'd be interested
in viewing the festivities from a box seat?
435
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:47,132
Are you trying to bribe a city official?
436
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:51,135
Right behind first base, Doc.
437
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:11,028
Yeah. Yeah, get some prints ready.
I think we've got our front page.
438
00:32:11,095 --> 00:32:14,792
Well, this is your lucky day. Drop back,
I want you to mark my racing form.
439
00:32:14,866 --> 00:32:16,766
Get the door, will you?
440
00:32:17,368 --> 00:32:20,064
Yeah, and don't forget, I smoke cigars.
441
00:32:20,838 --> 00:32:24,831
- Hey, Steve, let me wipe those off a little.
- Wipe them tomorrow.
442
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:32,008
Will you smile again
if I take you to dinner tonight?
443
00:32:32,083 --> 00:32:34,847
- A little celebration coming up.
- What's the celebration?
444
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:37,649
Another McCleary scoop.
Getting monotonous, isn't it?
445
00:32:37,722 --> 00:32:42,557
That dinner. A two-party celebration,
or are you bringing a friend?
446
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:44,559
Just you and me alone.
447
00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:47,825
I'll smile again.
What are the fragile treasures?
448
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:52,060
Very rare items.
Pictures of a dame with her mouth shut.
449
00:32:53,071 --> 00:32:55,972
- Joey, catch the door, will you?
- All right.
450
00:32:58,676 --> 00:33:01,270
I've been waiting a long time
for a chance to say this.
451
00:33:01,346 --> 00:33:03,439
- Stop the presses!
- Did you get a morning-after story
452
00:33:03,514 --> 00:33:05,004
on any of those couples
we married last night?
453
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:07,483
I got a story from one
of the Lonely Heart Ball guests, all right.
454
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:11,079
But she didn't get married last night.
She got murdered!
455
00:33:19,964 --> 00:33:23,263
- Who is she?
- A Jane Doe. Nobody knows her real name.
456
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:25,996
The police think she slipped in the bathtub
and bashed her head in,
457
00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:30,507
- or they did until a little while ago.
- But you knew better all the time?
458
00:33:30,575 --> 00:33:32,941
After Doc O'Hanlon got through
cutting her up for me.
459
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:36,538
She died between 9:00 and 12:00 last night,
before she went under in the tub.
460
00:33:36,614 --> 00:33:38,479
No water in her lungs.
461
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:40,283
Did he find anything else?
462
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:44,788
Yeah, her killer was a man, middle-aged,
fair complexion. Had brown hair.
463
00:33:45,390 --> 00:33:47,620
O'Hanlon found that
in scraping under her fingernails.
464
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:50,593
You ran into this
just by playing a hunch, huh?
465
00:33:50,661 --> 00:33:53,858
A string from a Lonely Heart badge
was on her dress in the closet.
466
00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:57,628
The badge had been torn off.
I followed through from there.
467
00:34:00,371 --> 00:34:04,364
Well, is this a story,
this Lonely Heart murdered after the ball?
468
00:34:04,575 --> 00:34:06,805
Can you sell papers with this?
469
00:34:10,248 --> 00:34:13,342
Baxter, Jordan, Allison,
get in here right away.
470
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:15,477
They didn't know her name, you said?
471
00:34:15,553 --> 00:34:18,920
Well, she called herself Jane Jones.
How phony can you get?
472
00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:20,014
We've just been struck by lightning.
473
00:34:20,091 --> 00:34:22,025
It's a great follow-up
for the Lonely Hearts Ball.
474
00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:24,118
Tell them about it, Steve.
475
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:30,997
We'll call her Miss Lonely Heart,
no other name. Alone in the city, friendless.
476
00:34:31,536 --> 00:34:34,801
She went to our shindig last night,
hunting for a soul mate.
477
00:34:34,872 --> 00:34:37,363
Maybe she found one, the wrong one.
478
00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:39,872
Anyway, she left early,
and sometime before midnight
479
00:34:39,944 --> 00:34:41,343
she was beaten to death in her room
480
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:44,540
by a brown-haired, middle-aged man
of fair complexion.
481
00:34:44,615 --> 00:34:46,480
A smash follow-up is right.
482
00:34:46,551 --> 00:34:49,247
The killer had a head full of brains.
Good nerves.
483
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,723
He lugged her to the bathroom,
stripped her, tossed the body in the tub.
484
00:34:54,459 --> 00:34:58,520
No. No, he stood the body in the tub.
Aimed, let go!
485
00:34:58,696 --> 00:35:03,190
Bang, her head cracks the faucet.
Almost perfect crime. Ordinary accident.
486
00:35:04,035 --> 00:35:06,936
He's working smartly,
a guy with imagination.
487
00:35:07,004 --> 00:35:10,963
He takes her slip, stockings,
washes them, hangs them up to dry.
488
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,000
He wipes his prints off everywhere.
489
00:35:13,077 --> 00:35:16,274
He starts getting rid of anything
that could identify her.
490
00:35:16,347 --> 00:35:18,907
He took a ring off her,
probably a wedding or engagement ring.
491
00:35:18,983 --> 00:35:22,111
- How do you know that?
- Whitish circle, third finger, left hand.
492
00:35:22,186 --> 00:35:25,587
- O'Hanlon spotted it at the morgue.
- All right, go on, go on.
493
00:35:25,656 --> 00:35:27,954
Well, he grabs any other personal items
that might identify her
494
00:35:28,025 --> 00:35:29,856
and throws them in her suitcase and blows.
495
00:35:29,927 --> 00:35:32,361
- How do you know she's got a suitcase?
- Every dame's got a suitcase.
496
00:35:32,430 --> 00:35:34,022
But there wasn't one
in Miss Lonely Heart's room.
497
00:35:34,098 --> 00:35:35,861
This'll kick up the circulation.
498
00:35:36,701 --> 00:35:40,137
We can make the 5:00 edition exclusive.
Steve can do the lead story.
499
00:35:40,204 --> 00:35:42,263
Jordan, I want three column cuts
of the dame's picture at the ball
500
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:44,433
and the murder photo.
Allison, write me a sob story,
501
00:35:44,509 --> 00:35:46,568
"Miss Lonely Heart
won't be Ionely anymore."
502
00:35:46,644 --> 00:35:47,736
Fine job, Steve.
503
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,303
Sure, it's a great job,
but we're gonna top it.
504
00:35:50,381 --> 00:35:51,439
How?
505
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,513
- Bury her.
- Bury her?
506
00:35:57,555 --> 00:35:59,682
The best story I ever dug up, and he tops it.
507
00:35:59,757 --> 00:36:02,157
By 5:00 tonight, Miss Lonely Heart
will be selling newspapers for us
508
00:36:02,226 --> 00:36:05,923
on every street corner in Manhattan.
Now, go on, get going.
509
00:37:42,126 --> 00:37:43,787
Be seeing you, Humpty.
510
00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:31,269
Look, I've shown you everything in the shop.
That's the last one I've got!
511
00:38:35,513 --> 00:38:36,605
Mark!
512
00:38:39,283 --> 00:38:41,217
- Mark, old boy!
- How are you, Charlie.
513
00:38:41,285 --> 00:38:45,085
What distasteful mission brings you to this
unholy neighborhood, Mark, my friend?
514
00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:46,589
I'm just looking around.
I like to keep my hand in,
515
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,124
even though I am strapped
to a desk right now.
516
00:38:48,192 --> 00:38:50,126
You wouldn't mean you're keeping
your hand in by working
517
00:38:50,194 --> 00:38:51,821
on this Lonely Heart murder,
would you, now, Mark?
518
00:38:51,896 --> 00:38:53,955
I've got a staff to take care of that for me.
519
00:38:54,031 --> 00:38:56,727
You can't kid an old newshound
like me, Mark.
520
00:38:56,801 --> 00:39:00,999
Still following our old formula,
first check the hock shops for a clue?
521
00:39:01,072 --> 00:39:03,336
Didn't wanna tip your hand
to those cops in there, did you?
522
00:39:03,407 --> 00:39:05,637
I tell you I'm not down here on business.
Now stop playing hawkshaw!
523
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:08,770
Let me show you Charlie Barnes
still has the master's touch
524
00:39:08,846 --> 00:39:11,713
- when it comes to following up a lead, Mark.
- Tell me about it later, will you,
525
00:39:11,782 --> 00:39:15,684
- when you come back to work for me?
- You're afraid I'll get drunk and tip the story.
526
00:39:15,753 --> 00:39:18,881
- I'm tapering off, Mark.
- That's fine, Charlie. I'll call you.
527
00:39:18,956 --> 00:39:23,825
Let me work this with you, Mark. I know
this whole district from gutter to rum-heads.
528
00:39:23,894 --> 00:39:26,226
Pete in the pawnshop's
an honored friend of mine.
529
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:27,992
- Yeah.
- I can get him to work with me and...
530
00:39:28,065 --> 00:39:30,898
- Hello, Charlie!
- Go away.
531
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:35,400
- Here, Charlie, here's something to count.
- I don't want a handout, Mark.
532
00:39:35,473 --> 00:39:37,498
- I want to work.
- You can pay me later. I'll call you, Charlie.
533
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:39,338
Mark, let me help...
534
00:40:13,544 --> 00:40:14,704
Hang onto them, Pete.
535
00:40:14,779 --> 00:40:17,873
We'll drop back payday
and look them over again.
536
00:40:25,022 --> 00:40:26,489
Them guys should wear glasses.
537
00:40:26,557 --> 00:40:29,185
They do so much looking,
but never no buying.
538
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:31,125
Get this for me, Pete.
539
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:34,356
Taking something out for a change
instead of putting it in, Charlie?
540
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:37,526
I admit to the novelty of the occasion, Peter.
541
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:50,109
- Hey, you didn't hock this with me.
- Doing a favor for a friend.
542
00:40:52,082 --> 00:40:56,178
Them cops. You know, if someday
they should buy something from me, I'd...
543
00:40:56,253 --> 00:40:59,620
No, that'd be bad. I'd drop dead.
544
00:41:02,226 --> 00:41:06,185
You know, Charlie, I ought to be
in some other kind of business.
545
00:41:06,697 --> 00:41:10,497
You really meet a very poor class of people
in this business.
546
00:41:10,768 --> 00:41:13,259
Not meaning anything personal,
you understand.
547
00:41:13,337 --> 00:41:16,773
But I'm always dealing with people
who are in trouble,
548
00:41:17,274 --> 00:41:21,608
people who gotta hock something.
People who gotta buy something cheap.
549
00:41:24,582 --> 00:41:28,109
I don't like cheap things.
I never did and I never will.
550
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:34,356
I should have been big fur man, maybe,
or big jewelry man.
551
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,651
Then I could deal with rich people.
552
00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:42,554
That's the kind of people
I really prefer to deal with.
553
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:47,694
- Hey! How much is on this ticket?
- Two bucks.
554
00:41:58,249 --> 00:41:59,841
Here, sign here.
555
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:08,424
You know, sometimes they say
even the rich people aren't happy.
556
00:42:08,492 --> 00:42:11,017
But how that could be, I don't know.
557
00:42:12,296 --> 00:42:15,857
Thank you, Peter.
Thank you for being in business!
558
00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:21,433
Thank you very much.
559
00:42:33,517 --> 00:42:35,041
A shot, Heeney.
560
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:38,614
You look like your blood pressure's boiling,
Charlie. What's the matter?
561
00:42:38,689 --> 00:42:40,680
The classic irony of the age, Heeney.
562
00:42:40,758 --> 00:42:43,659
Charlie Barnes, a stewbum,
rocking the newspaper world
563
00:42:43,727 --> 00:42:46,457
like he never did in all his sober days.
564
00:43:00,411 --> 00:43:02,208
- Composing.
- Yes, sir.
565
00:43:04,481 --> 00:43:07,712
Yes. Yes, madam,
I have two answers for you.
566
00:43:08,185 --> 00:43:11,313
First, you shouldn't talk
to strange men in bars.
567
00:43:11,388 --> 00:43:13,982
Second, because he asked you to marry him
568
00:43:14,058 --> 00:43:16,356
then hit you with a pretzel dish
when you refused
569
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:19,191
isn't conclusive proof
he's our Lonely Heart Killer,
570
00:43:19,263 --> 00:43:21,697
but thanks for calling, lady. Bye.
571
00:43:23,334 --> 00:43:26,326
Phony or not,
those tips belong to the police.
572
00:43:26,704 --> 00:43:30,299
When are you going to get rid of the idea
you're wearing an invisible badge?
573
00:43:30,374 --> 00:43:34,140
Julie Allison. Hello, Charlie. How are you?
574
00:43:36,714 --> 00:43:38,181
The Lonely Heart murder?
575
00:43:38,248 --> 00:43:42,844
And you've got to meet me right away.
We have to figure out how to handle this.
576
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,514
I know the killer, and it's dynamite.
577
00:43:46,757 --> 00:43:48,952
Well, Charlie,
that story is really Steve McCleary's.
578
00:43:49,026 --> 00:43:52,587
- I think you'd better talk to...
- No, no, Julie, I want you to have this.
579
00:43:52,663 --> 00:43:55,393
Now I can repay you, Julie child,
for everything.
580
00:43:55,466 --> 00:43:59,596
Julie, this is so... It's so tremendous,
it'll put both of us on top.
581
00:44:02,272 --> 00:44:04,035
What? What, Julie?
582
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:08,835
Okay, okay, both of you meet me.
583
00:44:08,912 --> 00:44:11,540
Maybe we will need
somebody like McCleary.
584
00:44:11,615 --> 00:44:14,175
Steve, Charlie says
he has information on the murder.
585
00:44:14,251 --> 00:44:18,654
- He's awfully excited about something.
- About two quarts full, probably.
586
00:44:19,890 --> 00:44:21,881
Yeah, Charlie, what's up?
587
00:44:22,726 --> 00:44:25,695
I wanted Julie to have this,
but she insists you be on in it.
588
00:44:25,763 --> 00:44:27,663
I mean you be in on it.
589
00:44:27,965 --> 00:44:30,297
- What's the matter, Charlie?
- No.
590
00:44:31,368 --> 00:44:34,462
- What? You're not sore, are you?
- No, go away!
591
00:44:36,006 --> 00:44:38,099
What? What have I got?
592
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:40,939
I've got the Lonely Heart Killer for you,
that's what!
593
00:44:41,011 --> 00:44:44,777
Gee, Charlie, that's great.
You getting him crocked so he'll confess?
594
00:44:44,848 --> 00:44:48,807
I haven't got him. I know who he is.
595
00:44:54,858 --> 00:44:55,950
What?
596
00:44:59,563 --> 00:45:03,465
Yes, I'm in a saloon.
I'm in Heeney's. But I'm not drunk.
597
00:45:04,034 --> 00:45:07,128
I've just taken the hottest story
of the century out of hock, and I'm gonna...
598
00:45:08,038 --> 00:45:11,064
He's really flying tonight.
See what your 10 bucks did?
599
00:45:11,141 --> 00:45:15,009
Stop treating him like some
weak-minded child. Listen to what he's got.
600
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:19,482
- He's not this excited for nothing.
- You know what he's got? The DTs.
601
00:45:19,616 --> 00:45:21,675
Charlie Barnes, tanked to the eyeballs,
602
00:45:21,752 --> 00:45:24,880
says he just took the Lonely Heart
murder solution out of hock.
603
00:45:26,056 --> 00:45:29,583
Hello, Charlie?
Still there? Let's start all over again.
604
00:45:30,294 --> 00:45:34,788
Listen, you mental midget. The only reason
I'm calling the <i>Express</i> is Julie Allison.
605
00:45:34,865 --> 00:45:37,732
Before I'd give this story
to an insolent young pup like you,
606
00:45:37,801 --> 00:45:39,792
I'd take it to the <i>Daily Leader!</i>
607
00:45:39,870 --> 00:45:42,304
Charlie's mad now.
Gonna sell it to the <i>Leader.</i>
608
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:46,069
- Hang up on the drunken slob.
- Julie? She just left.
609
00:45:46,477 --> 00:45:48,570
I guess we'll just have to read your story
in the <i>Leader</i> tomorrow.
610
00:45:48,645 --> 00:45:50,772
- So long, pal.
- Give me that.
611
00:45:51,815 --> 00:45:53,077
- Hello? Hello?
- Don't be silly, Julie.
612
00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:55,141
He'll just keep you up all night
listening to his fairytales.
613
00:45:55,219 --> 00:45:59,349
- Where was he calling from?
- Bellevue psycho ward, I think he said.
614
00:46:00,257 --> 00:46:01,747
Your 10 bucks.
615
00:47:13,697 --> 00:47:15,460
- Keep this for me, Heeney.
- Why, sure, Charlie.
616
00:47:15,532 --> 00:47:17,056
A couple hours.
617
00:47:17,868 --> 00:47:20,359
One more, Heeney. One for the road.
618
00:48:05,215 --> 00:48:06,739
Hello, Charlie.
619
00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:13,617
Mark. I thought you were still down
at the Bowery.
620
00:48:15,692 --> 00:48:18,024
I hear you got a story, Charlie.
621
00:48:18,195 --> 00:48:20,060
Where'd you hear that?
622
00:48:20,597 --> 00:48:25,364
- Isn't that what you told McCleary?
- Why, I was just schmoozing him, I...
623
00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:28,295
Lining him up for a little touch.
624
00:48:28,372 --> 00:48:31,432
I gave you some money.
What did you do with it?
625
00:48:31,775 --> 00:48:33,333
You didn't, by any chance,
find a pawn ticket
626
00:48:33,410 --> 00:48:36,379
- mixed in with the money, did you, Charlie?
- Pawn ticket? Why, I...
627
00:48:36,446 --> 00:48:40,177
Did you use the money
to get the story out of hock, Charlie?
628
00:48:41,218 --> 00:48:44,585
You've got something that belongs to me.
Where is it?
629
00:48:45,389 --> 00:48:47,220
You were on the way to the <i>Leader</i>
with some evidence.
630
00:48:47,291 --> 00:48:49,725
Where is it, Charlie? Where is it?
631
00:49:01,905 --> 00:49:04,738
It's a wonderful story, isn't it, Charlie?
632
00:49:05,509 --> 00:49:07,909
You wanted to be a big man, Mark.
633
00:49:08,745 --> 00:49:12,476
This will make you famous
beyond your most ambitious dreams.
634
00:49:13,884 --> 00:49:18,412
Great story?
I've waited all my life for a story like this.
635
00:49:19,456 --> 00:49:23,483
Well, you've got it, Charlie.
But you're not going to write it.
636
00:49:27,130 --> 00:49:30,622
You're crazy, Mark.
Twenty years you've covered the news.
637
00:49:30,701 --> 00:49:33,761
Seen the bright boys try this. It never works.
638
00:49:56,493 --> 00:49:59,587
We just heard about Charlie Barnes.
Rotten deal.
639
00:50:00,163 --> 00:50:04,293
It's hard when it's someone like Charlie
you've known for 22 years.
640
00:50:04,401 --> 00:50:06,164
I knew him 25 years.
641
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:10,167
I never expected to see him
laying on a slab in this place.
642
00:50:10,507 --> 00:50:15,001
Is that right, Doc? Was he found
in an alleyway across from the <i>Daily Leader?</i>
643
00:50:15,078 --> 00:50:17,205
- Steve...
- Yes, that's right.
644
00:50:17,447 --> 00:50:20,439
The <i>Daily Leader.</i> He had a story!
645
00:50:20,517 --> 00:50:23,509
But he was taking your clever,
insolent, fresh-guy advice
646
00:50:23,587 --> 00:50:27,216
- and giving it to the <i>Leader!</i>
- He was drunk, Julie. How could I know...
647
00:50:27,290 --> 00:50:29,656
Charlie Barnes never got so drunk
he didn't know a story!
648
00:50:29,726 --> 00:50:33,492
Or that he'd try to peddle
a phony tip to a newspaper! But you...
649
00:50:33,563 --> 00:50:35,394
You couldn't bother listening to him!
650
00:50:35,465 --> 00:50:38,798
You and that newsprint hero of yours,
Mark Chapman.
651
00:50:39,269 --> 00:50:41,032
You couldn't expect us to believe
that Charlie Barnes
652
00:50:41,104 --> 00:50:43,129
had any real information
on the murder, Julie.
653
00:50:43,206 --> 00:50:45,231
We still don't know that he did.
654
00:50:45,308 --> 00:50:49,711
If you and that stone-hearted, glory seeking,
"I am the great Mark Chapman"
655
00:50:49,780 --> 00:50:51,771
had thrown Charlie
the miserable crumb of respect
656
00:50:51,848 --> 00:50:54,510
of just listening to him, he'd be alive today!
657
00:50:54,584 --> 00:50:58,748
Julie, maybe you're right.
Maybe it is partly my fault Charlie's dead.
658
00:50:58,822 --> 00:51:01,882
I'm sorry. Really sorry. But what can I do?
659
00:51:02,392 --> 00:51:06,123
Don't go soft! Show Chapman
you're a chip off the old block.
660
00:51:06,596 --> 00:51:08,655
Have him give Charlie a fancy funeral.
661
00:51:08,732 --> 00:51:11,997
Great headline.
"The <i>Express</i> buries its cast-offs."
662
00:51:12,436 --> 00:51:14,097
It'll sell papers!
663
00:51:27,350 --> 00:51:31,912
Kenny, rewrite that one paragraph, will you?
Allison had a bad night. Yeah.
664
00:51:32,289 --> 00:51:35,087
I just got yesterday's figures
from circulation, Mark.
665
00:51:35,158 --> 00:51:38,491
Six hundred and ninety-six thousand.
You're moving up there.
666
00:51:38,562 --> 00:51:41,292
Looks as though it's going to cost
the <i>Express</i> some bonus money before long.
667
00:51:41,364 --> 00:51:44,765
Quicker than you can say,
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Stockholder Rawley!"
668
00:51:44,835 --> 00:51:46,666
We're only starting,
Mr. Madison, only starting.
669
00:51:46,736 --> 00:51:48,260
That's the spirit!
670
00:51:48,338 --> 00:51:50,272
When you get to the editor's chair,
remember one thing.
671
00:51:50,340 --> 00:51:54,743
You're a hero with a lifetime job,
as long as the circulation is rising.
672
00:51:55,045 --> 00:51:59,379
- What have you got there?
- Something that will keep circulation rising.
673
00:51:59,716 --> 00:52:01,581
Charlie Barnes' story.
674
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:04,378
What are you talking about?
675
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:06,820
Charlie wasn't near the <i>Daily Leader</i>
by accident, Mark.
676
00:52:06,890 --> 00:52:08,790
He had something to print.
677
00:52:08,859 --> 00:52:11,419
I couldn't find it in his effects
at the morgue this morning,
678
00:52:11,495 --> 00:52:15,932
but I found it at Heeney's bar,
the joint Charlie phoned from last night.
679
00:52:16,233 --> 00:52:19,134
Half a pawnshop ticket was still on the bag.
680
00:52:19,236 --> 00:52:21,431
Pete's Hock Shop. I checked it.
681
00:52:21,505 --> 00:52:24,838
Charlie came in the pawnshop last night
with a claim check.
682
00:52:24,908 --> 00:52:27,536
Said he was unhocking it for a friend.
683
00:52:28,478 --> 00:52:31,743
Well, what's in the bag?
Miss Lonely Heart's name and address?
684
00:52:32,916 --> 00:52:36,477
Better than that, Mark.
Much better than that.
685
00:52:38,054 --> 00:52:40,579
A picture of the guy who killed her.
686
00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:52,362
A picture?
You can't even see the guy's face!
687
00:52:52,435 --> 00:52:54,596
What's the matter, Mark?
This is the first real lead we've got.
688
00:52:54,671 --> 00:52:56,263
The way you talked,
I thought we had it all sewed up.
689
00:52:56,339 --> 00:52:59,604
Sure, it's a lead, but it's a thin one.
How much does this give us?
690
00:52:59,676 --> 00:53:04,773
Well, we're certain the dame had a husband.
They were married in 1931 in Connecticut.
691
00:53:05,248 --> 00:53:09,048
- The husband's the guy who killed her.
- How do you make that?
692
00:53:09,419 --> 00:53:11,580
The ring mark on her finger
must have been a wedding ring.
693
00:53:11,655 --> 00:53:14,055
The inscription inside
could have identified him.
694
00:53:14,124 --> 00:53:16,388
And he grabbed the pawn ticket
figuring she'd hocked some belongings
695
00:53:16,459 --> 00:53:18,893
- that might peg him.
- Makes sense.
696
00:53:19,396 --> 00:53:22,194
Charlie got the pawn ticket from the killer.
697
00:53:22,265 --> 00:53:25,701
He must have been with him sometime,
someplace, yesterday.
698
00:53:25,769 --> 00:53:28,329
A lot of people
could have seen them together, right?
699
00:53:28,405 --> 00:53:29,770
Could have.
700
00:53:31,141 --> 00:53:33,609
Splash this picture
on the front page tonight.
701
00:53:33,677 --> 00:53:35,975
Offer a reward for information.
702
00:53:39,149 --> 00:53:41,674
"Lonely Heart Killer strikes again."
703
00:53:43,153 --> 00:53:45,246
When you write the story,
say that Barnes was working on this case
704
00:53:45,322 --> 00:53:46,346
undercover for the <i>Express.</i>
705
00:53:46,423 --> 00:53:49,620
He got too close to the killer
and died in the line of duty.
706
00:53:49,693 --> 00:53:50,887
Mark, I don't know, it...
707
00:53:50,961 --> 00:53:54,863
Nobody can deny it. It'll help sell papers.
We'll offer $1,000.
708
00:53:55,232 --> 00:53:58,360
Look, kid, don't pin your hopes
on anybody being able
709
00:53:58,435 --> 00:54:02,030
to spot the guy from this.
Unless they got x-ray eyes.
710
00:54:02,339 --> 00:54:04,034
I'm sure Charlie connected
the guy in the picture
711
00:54:04,107 --> 00:54:08,601
with the bird who gave him the pawn ticket.
I'm going to fine-tooth the Bowery myself.
712
00:54:08,678 --> 00:54:11,374
It's even money
that's where Charlie ran into our man.
713
00:54:11,448 --> 00:54:12,972
Good luck, kid.
714
00:54:44,314 --> 00:54:47,875
- Well, I got them for you, McCleary.
- Good work, Heeney.
715
00:55:05,368 --> 00:55:09,634
Well, this does it. I'll never touch
another drop the rest of my life.
716
00:55:17,547 --> 00:55:19,515
'Course some of them
been sucking on the bottle all night,
717
00:55:19,582 --> 00:55:21,516
but they can still stand up.
718
00:55:21,584 --> 00:55:24,747
- They all knew Charlie?
- Yeah, they all knew him.
719
00:55:25,088 --> 00:55:29,081
If you give McCleary here
any bum information, I'll brain you.
720
00:55:29,793 --> 00:55:31,818
And I might even do worse.
721
00:55:31,961 --> 00:55:35,522
No more free shots
when you're seeing little red spiders.
722
00:55:35,999 --> 00:55:40,095
How many of you boys saw Charlie Barnes
the day he was killed? Raise your hands.
723
00:55:40,170 --> 00:55:44,197
All right, raise your mitts,
them that seen Charlie day before yesterday.
724
00:55:44,274 --> 00:55:45,366
Good.
725
00:55:48,478 --> 00:55:50,446
- Where did you see him?
- See who?
726
00:55:50,513 --> 00:55:54,279
- This guy must be used to talking to mirrors.
- Charlie Barnes.
727
00:55:54,351 --> 00:55:58,253
I seen him come out of a joint
where he flopped in the morning.
728
00:56:00,824 --> 00:56:02,815
You, where'd you see him?
729
00:56:03,460 --> 00:56:05,826
- Humpty O'Dougal's saloon.
- What time?
730
00:56:05,895 --> 00:56:10,389
In the afternoon. Late in the afternoon.
Charlie had a nice little bun on.
731
00:56:10,934 --> 00:56:11,992
Was he with anybody?
732
00:56:12,068 --> 00:56:14,036
With anybody?
Sure, he was with somebody.
733
00:56:14,104 --> 00:56:16,834
Charlie never drank by himself
if he had a little cash on him.
734
00:56:16,906 --> 00:56:19,966
- Well, do you know the guy he was with?
- Certainly I know who he was with.
735
00:56:20,043 --> 00:56:23,206
- Well, who was it?
- Me. He sprung me three slugs.
736
00:56:29,686 --> 00:56:32,678
When did you see him?
When did you see him?
737
00:56:36,159 --> 00:56:38,491
- This morning.
- Throw him out of here.
738
00:56:38,561 --> 00:56:41,086
- Wait a minute!
- What are you talking about?
739
00:56:41,164 --> 00:56:44,691
- Now, is there any more jokers in the crowd?
- I seen him.
740
00:56:45,735 --> 00:56:49,136
Yeah? Well, go on. Where'd you see him?
741
00:56:51,074 --> 00:56:53,770
On the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
742
00:56:53,843 --> 00:56:57,472
- Go on, go on.
- Nothing. He was working a sucker.
743
00:56:58,014 --> 00:57:01,177
- Giving him the pally act, that's all.
- Now think hard.
744
00:57:01,251 --> 00:57:04,243
Do you remember the sucker?
Do you remember what he looks like?
745
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,754
- Maybe.
- What do you mean, "Maybe"?
746
00:57:06,890 --> 00:57:10,826
- Maybe for 50 bucks.
- Why you...
747
00:57:11,995 --> 00:57:15,362
Do you think you could remember
for 1,000 bucks?
748
00:57:17,267 --> 00:57:19,258
Who could tell who he is?
749
00:57:19,469 --> 00:57:22,461
Can you describe
the man you saw Charlie with?
750
00:57:22,906 --> 00:57:26,273
Do I get $1,000 if I do?
751
00:57:26,443 --> 00:57:28,968
You do. If and when we find the guy.
752
00:57:29,379 --> 00:57:32,212
- Sure, I can describe him.
- Well, go ahead.
753
00:57:34,918 --> 00:57:37,819
- You paying the reward?
- No, but my boss is.
754
00:57:38,655 --> 00:57:41,647
- Then I'll describe it to him.
- Okay. Come on.
755
00:57:41,791 --> 00:57:44,385
Rush this over to the composing room.
756
00:57:44,761 --> 00:57:48,492
Kenny, see if you can figure out
a heading for that rubbish.
757
00:57:48,698 --> 00:57:50,723
Connie! Connie, take this.
758
00:57:58,475 --> 00:57:59,806
Wait here.
759
00:58:13,623 --> 00:58:15,318
Look, Lieutenant,
just refer the captain to me.
760
00:58:15,391 --> 00:58:18,189
I'll tell him he's cropping at the best
homicide man he ever had on the force.
761
00:58:18,261 --> 00:58:20,491
If he doesn't know that,
he's deaf, dumb and blind.
762
00:58:20,563 --> 00:58:22,861
Yeah, never mind the malarkey, Chapman!
763
00:58:22,932 --> 00:58:24,900
The next time
you people pull a stunt like this,
764
00:58:24,968 --> 00:58:27,596
I'll throw both you and McCleary in the can!
765
00:58:28,271 --> 00:58:31,832
Okay, Lieutenant, okay.
I give you my word. Goodbye, pal.
766
00:58:33,042 --> 00:58:35,340
Davis is screaming because we gave him
the suitcase only a half hour
767
00:58:35,411 --> 00:58:36,878
before he read it in the <i>Express.</i>
768
00:58:36,946 --> 00:58:39,437
Well, I've got something
that ought to make him happy again.
769
00:58:39,516 --> 00:58:40,744
Not another suitcase?
770
00:58:40,817 --> 00:58:44,776
A guy who can identify the man
Charlie got the pawn ticket from.
771
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:51,384
Hey, Bailey. Come in here.
772
00:59:00,103 --> 00:59:03,561
He wouldn't describe the guy to me.
He needed the boss.
773
00:59:06,643 --> 00:59:08,304
You the boss?
774
00:59:09,379 --> 00:59:13,611
Yeah, and don't waste my time.
Where'd you see this guy with Charlie?
775
00:59:15,818 --> 00:59:18,446
Down the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
776
00:59:19,956 --> 00:59:22,151
You say you can describe him?
777
00:59:41,844 --> 00:59:44,335
Well, go on. What did he look like?
778
00:59:54,057 --> 00:59:55,786
Stand up, will you?
779
01:00:04,467 --> 01:00:07,766
Yeah, just how I figured.
780
01:00:08,805 --> 01:00:10,432
You figured what?
781
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,272
He was your size,
782
01:00:17,313 --> 01:00:18,678
your build.
783
01:00:19,115 --> 01:00:21,345
Could have been as old as you.
784
01:00:21,951 --> 01:00:26,217
- Is that all?
- All you asked me was to describe him.
785
01:00:26,723 --> 01:00:30,625
That was no description!
That could fit a million guys in this town.
786
01:00:30,693 --> 01:00:34,060
- Even me.
- Well, how about the reward?
787
01:00:34,130 --> 01:00:38,123
Here, take this down to the cashier
and pick yourself up five bucks.
788
01:00:38,201 --> 01:00:41,261
- Show him where it is, Steve.
- Come on, Bailey.
789
01:01:30,186 --> 01:01:31,517
Hey, Baxter, where's Julie?
790
01:01:31,587 --> 01:01:34,078
She came in this morning,
banged this out on her typewriter,
791
01:01:34,157 --> 01:01:36,216
and told me to give it to Chapman.
792
01:01:36,292 --> 01:01:38,385
- What is it?
- Her resignation.
793
01:01:38,461 --> 01:01:42,261
I figured I'd hang onto it a day or so.
Maybe she'd cool off.
794
01:01:42,632 --> 01:01:46,261
I'm sure glad you did.
I'll take care of it for you, okay?
795
01:01:49,238 --> 01:01:50,762
Baxter, thanks.
796
01:02:00,883 --> 01:02:03,647
- Hello, Mrs. Allison.
- Well, hello, Steve. Come in.
797
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,051
Thank you.
798
01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:14,458
I have a pot of coffee in the kitchen.
I'd better see to it.
799
01:02:14,664 --> 01:02:16,564
Can I say a few words to you?
800
01:02:16,632 --> 01:02:19,533
Without getting hit with a table
or something?
801
01:02:19,602 --> 01:02:22,230
Speak your piece and get it over with.
802
01:02:22,338 --> 01:02:25,535
I just got rocked
with a bad piece of news, Julie.
803
01:02:25,742 --> 01:02:28,040
I heard about your resignation.
804
01:02:28,444 --> 01:02:31,845
Well, I can't imagine
why you'd shed any tears over it.
805
01:02:31,914 --> 01:02:33,211
Well, for what it's worth,
806
01:02:33,282 --> 01:02:36,308
your resigning knocks the props
out of a lot of things for me.
807
01:02:37,754 --> 01:02:40,655
That couldn't have come
from Steve McCleary.
808
01:02:41,791 --> 01:02:44,851
Okay, pass it. But I didn't figure
your burn at Chapman and me
809
01:02:44,927 --> 01:02:48,454
would be bigger than your wanting
to do something about Charlie's murder.
810
01:02:49,632 --> 01:02:52,829
Don't start playing me
for a hollow-headed female now, Steve.
811
01:02:52,902 --> 01:02:55,871
Your only interest, and Chapman's,
in Charlie's death is exploiting it
812
01:02:55,938 --> 01:02:59,601
- for all the circulation jumping it's worth!
- Julie, I'm not digging on a story now
813
01:02:59,675 --> 01:03:03,577
just for the school-boy bang of seeing
my name over a sensational yarn.
814
01:03:03,646 --> 01:03:06,672
Yeah, that's right, I had to get hit pretty hard
before I smartened up.
815
01:03:06,749 --> 01:03:09,309
But now I'm leveling
on the Charlie Barnes business.
816
01:03:13,422 --> 01:03:18,257
Well, if I can believe what I'm hearing,
this certainly is a different McCleary.
817
01:03:19,328 --> 01:03:20,955
I've been working night and day.
818
01:03:21,030 --> 01:03:24,227
All I've done is run the local leads
to a dead end.
819
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:29,294
There's only one gimmick left to follow.
This picture, the marriage in Connecticut.
820
01:03:29,472 --> 01:03:33,067
It's odd the person who married them
hasn't recognized it.
821
01:03:33,142 --> 01:03:36,077
Unless he's dead or hasn't seen the picture.
822
01:03:36,579 --> 01:03:40,310
Yeah, I thought of that angle, too.
But it's a million-to-one shot.
823
01:03:40,383 --> 01:03:43,716
A guy would have to be an elephant
to remember a face after 21 years.
824
01:03:44,787 --> 01:03:48,314
Tell him about the elephant we met
on Fifth Avenue, about four years ago.
825
01:03:48,391 --> 01:03:50,791
We were walking along the street when,
right out of the blue,
826
01:03:50,860 --> 01:03:53,021
a complete stranger stopped me.
827
01:03:53,095 --> 01:03:56,656
It turned out to be the little preacher
who married Julie's father and me
828
01:03:56,732 --> 01:03:59,724
in Portland, Maine, 23 years before!
829
01:04:01,404 --> 01:04:06,603
- And he actually was able to recognize you?
- And I'd put on a little weight since then.
830
01:04:07,210 --> 01:04:10,270
They say a New Englander
seldom forgets a face.
831
01:04:10,980 --> 01:04:13,813
Crazy odds, but what can we lose?
832
01:04:15,051 --> 01:04:16,416
Yeah, get this picture
833
01:04:16,485 --> 01:04:19,750
to every churchman, judge
and justice of the peace in Connecticut.
834
01:04:19,822 --> 01:04:24,259
- It's certainly worth trying.
- It's a big job. Compiling lists,
835
01:04:24,527 --> 01:04:26,620
- checking out leads.
- It can be done.
836
01:04:26,696 --> 01:04:28,687
The two of us could handle it, Julie.
837
01:04:29,732 --> 01:04:32,667
Well, I'd like to, Steve, but I've resigned.
838
01:04:32,735 --> 01:04:36,637
And I'd sooner drop dead
than ask Mark Chapman for my job back.
839
01:04:43,312 --> 01:04:45,803
- You dog!
- It never got past Baxter.
840
01:04:46,883 --> 01:04:48,908
A list of churches in each town
is no problem.
841
01:04:48,985 --> 01:04:52,318
The judges and JPs we can get
from the state legal directory in Hartford.
842
01:04:52,388 --> 01:04:54,720
Yeah, you start packing.
Enough for a couple of weeks.
843
01:04:54,790 --> 01:04:56,451
I'm going to the office
and get the lab boys started
844
01:04:56,525 --> 01:04:57,787
on knocking out a few hundred circulars.
845
01:04:57,860 --> 01:05:00,260
But suppose Chapman says no
to my working with you on it?
846
01:05:00,329 --> 01:05:03,492
Why should he? Anyway, I'm not going
to tell him anything until we're ready to go.
847
01:05:03,566 --> 01:05:04,658
Tonight sometime.
848
01:05:04,734 --> 01:05:08,898
Mom, you think it's safe for me to travel
out of state at night with this young man?
849
01:05:08,971 --> 01:05:12,702
Just so he doesn't misconstrue
the meaning of "freedom of the press."
850
01:05:12,775 --> 01:05:16,336
Hey, you wonderful woman.
I'll check with you for dinner.
851
01:05:21,417 --> 01:05:23,544
Steve, this is shot-in-the-dark stuff.
852
01:05:23,619 --> 01:05:26,452
Mark, more rabbit-brained ideas than this
have paid off.
853
01:05:26,522 --> 01:05:28,956
Your hottest lead is right here in town
where the murders were committed.
854
01:05:29,025 --> 01:05:32,290
Yeah, our hottest lead was in town,
but it dried up like a puddle in July.
855
01:05:32,361 --> 01:05:33,589
You're looking for a mental marvel,
856
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:36,154
a guy who can recognize somebody
he'd seen for 15 or 20 minutes
857
01:05:36,232 --> 01:05:38,757
at a wedding ceremony
he performed 21 years ago.
858
01:05:38,834 --> 01:05:41,394
How do we know he only saw them
for 15 or 20 minutes?
859
01:05:41,470 --> 01:05:44,200
Maybe they were members of his church
or were married by a judge
860
01:05:44,273 --> 01:05:46,298
or a justice in their own town.
861
01:05:46,375 --> 01:05:48,605
Steve, you're off
on a needle-in-a-haystack hunt.
862
01:05:48,678 --> 01:05:51,078
You can find a needle in a haystack
if you look long enough.
863
01:05:51,147 --> 01:05:53,775
You don't think I'm gonna let you
hang around up there indefinitely, do you?
864
01:05:53,849 --> 01:05:55,680
You won't have to. A week, probably.
865
01:05:55,751 --> 01:05:58,982
Julie Allison's coming along to help me.
It's all arranged.
866
01:05:59,055 --> 01:06:02,456
It's all arranged. And that five grand reward.
You arranged that, too?
867
01:06:02,525 --> 01:06:06,586
No, you did, or will.
Mark, what's eating you?
868
01:06:07,096 --> 01:06:09,257
I'm only checking out every possible angle.
869
01:06:09,332 --> 01:06:11,061
Kid, I don't want you to beat your brains out.
870
01:06:11,133 --> 01:06:13,033
We can get just so much
out of this Lonely Hearts story,
871
01:06:13,102 --> 01:06:16,128
and then we'll start easing it off
and let it die a natural death.
872
01:06:16,205 --> 01:06:19,368
Let it die? Mark, we let Charlie Barnes die!
873
01:06:20,509 --> 01:06:22,909
The least we can do now is to find his killer.
874
01:06:23,679 --> 01:06:26,443
You're the guy who pounded into me,
"Never give up till you've got the story."
875
01:06:26,515 --> 01:06:28,449
Well, I'm not quitting on this one
until I've licked it.
876
01:06:28,517 --> 01:06:30,985
You can reach me
at the Lenox Hotel in Hartford.
877
01:06:56,579 --> 01:06:57,978
Long distance.
878
01:06:58,047 --> 01:06:59,844
I want some information.
879
01:06:59,915 --> 01:07:01,906
A telephone number
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
880
01:07:01,984 --> 01:07:05,181
The name is Hacker. He's a judge.
I don't remember his first name.
881
01:07:05,254 --> 01:07:07,222
You wish to place a call to this party?
882
01:07:07,289 --> 01:07:10,383
No, no. Not yet, that is.
I just want to get his telephone number.
883
01:07:10,459 --> 01:07:12,188
<i>One moment, please.</i>
884
01:07:16,799 --> 01:07:20,235
Hello? The Middlebury operator
has no listing for anyone by that name.
885
01:07:21,037 --> 01:07:22,436
There isn't?
886
01:07:23,305 --> 01:07:25,296
Middlebury's a small town.
Will you ask the operator
887
01:07:25,374 --> 01:07:26,966
if she knows anything
about Judge Hacker at all?
888
01:07:27,043 --> 01:07:29,273
Is he deceased, moved away, or what?
889
01:07:29,345 --> 01:07:31,074
<i>One moment, please.</i>
890
01:07:35,518 --> 01:07:38,510
Hello? The local operator
has been in Middlebury for five years
891
01:07:38,587 --> 01:07:40,646
and knows no one
by the name of Judge Hacker.
892
01:07:40,723 --> 01:07:42,384
That's all the information she can give us.
893
01:07:43,959 --> 01:07:45,153
Thanks.
894
01:08:32,908 --> 01:08:35,308
No, Reverend,
I'm afraid that's not our couple.
895
01:08:36,412 --> 01:08:39,040
You may be positive, Reverend,
but you're mistaken.
896
01:08:39,115 --> 01:08:41,515
The woman in the photo we sent you
is dead.
897
01:08:41,584 --> 01:08:43,916
Thank you for calling, Reverend.
898
01:08:46,288 --> 01:08:48,153
You don't have to tell me.
899
01:08:48,224 --> 01:08:50,852
It's written all over
your bright and shining face.
900
01:08:50,926 --> 01:08:53,759
A 190-mile drive
to have a whack-head tell me
901
01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:56,423
that both the people in our circular
died a year ago.
902
01:08:57,766 --> 01:09:01,896
New Englanders remember, all right.
Every face is familiar to them.
903
01:09:04,406 --> 01:09:07,671
Hello? Just a minute, here's Steve.
904
01:09:08,110 --> 01:09:10,340
It's that man again. Every day.
905
01:09:10,412 --> 01:09:13,313
Does he think we'll keep it a big fat secret
if we find something?
906
01:09:15,284 --> 01:09:16,649
Yeah, Mark.
907
01:09:18,487 --> 01:09:20,819
Nothing but an aching back
and some interesting meetings
908
01:09:20,890 --> 01:09:22,824
with jelly-brained screwballs.
909
01:09:22,892 --> 01:09:26,555
You've had enough time, Steve. Ten days.
Admit it's a dud. Come on home.
910
01:09:26,629 --> 01:09:29,325
Two more days, Mark.
We'll stick it out to the end of the week.
911
01:09:29,899 --> 01:09:33,391
Get out of the haystack. It's easier
to find the needles at the scene of the crime.
912
01:09:33,469 --> 01:09:34,936
I'll see you.
913
01:09:35,771 --> 01:09:39,832
Two more days. I don't even know myself
why we're sticking around.
914
01:09:41,043 --> 01:09:42,772
Anything there that sounds good?
915
01:09:44,180 --> 01:09:47,946
I'll read you a fair sample.
From a J.P. Waterbury.
916
01:09:49,084 --> 01:09:52,451
"Send me $5,000
and I will tell you names of people."
917
01:09:52,655 --> 01:09:54,646
A new head I'll send him.
918
01:09:55,658 --> 01:09:58,320
I've got a headache.
I think I'll lie down for a while.
919
01:09:59,728 --> 01:10:01,855
Why don't you lie down here?
920
01:10:07,269 --> 01:10:08,998
I'll go to my room.
921
01:10:15,344 --> 01:10:17,744
McCleary. Okay, put him on.
922
01:10:18,681 --> 01:10:20,808
A guy calling from Franklin.
923
01:10:21,283 --> 01:10:23,308
Hello? Yeah, that's right.
924
01:10:25,955 --> 01:10:27,149
You do, huh?
925
01:10:29,258 --> 01:10:31,590
- You've got what?
- What is it?
926
01:10:31,827 --> 01:10:35,456
- Just a minute.
- I have the other picture right before me!
927
01:10:35,864 --> 01:10:41,131
Yes, I married them July 19th, 1931,
over in Middlebury.
928
01:10:42,438 --> 01:10:44,702
A funny thing. What's that?
929
01:10:48,143 --> 01:10:49,872
Judge Elroy Hacker.
930
01:10:50,379 --> 01:10:52,404
We'll be there in two hours, Judge.
931
01:10:52,481 --> 01:10:54,244
Sit tight
and keep your mouth shut about this.
932
01:10:54,316 --> 01:10:55,374
Bye.
933
01:10:55,584 --> 01:10:59,247
Go on, get packed.
He's liable to drop dead on us or something.
934
01:11:55,110 --> 01:11:58,102
For a man who can sit there
and watch his success increasing daily,
935
01:11:58,180 --> 01:12:00,011
you're looking much too troubled, Mark.
936
01:12:00,082 --> 01:12:03,210
It's just that these minor problems
always seem to require major thinking.
937
01:12:03,285 --> 01:12:06,379
Well, perhaps we can balance
the unpleasant with the pleasant.
938
01:12:06,455 --> 01:12:09,390
That conversation we had the other day
about your buying company stock.
939
01:12:09,458 --> 01:12:10,823
- Yeah?
- I just thought I'd tell you,
940
01:12:10,893 --> 01:12:14,920
- I think we can swing that.
- That's fine, Mr. Madison, just great.
941
01:12:14,997 --> 01:12:17,659
Well, there doesn't seem to be any doubt
you'll reach that bonus figure.
942
01:12:17,733 --> 01:12:19,064
It'll be pleasant having you as a partner,
943
01:12:19,134 --> 01:12:20,863
- so to speak, in the paper, Mark.
- Thanks.
944
01:12:20,936 --> 01:12:22,801
- Good night.
- Good night.
945
01:14:17,953 --> 01:14:19,147
Sorry to keep you this late, Mark,
946
01:14:19,221 --> 01:14:21,621
but we got hit with a mess of traffic
on the way in.
947
01:14:21,690 --> 01:14:23,157
Your wire sounded important.
948
01:14:23,225 --> 01:14:26,456
I found that needle,
or rather the man with the needle.
949
01:14:26,528 --> 01:14:29,725
Judge Elroy Hacker,
Mark Chapman, Managing Editor.
950
01:14:29,865 --> 01:14:32,925
- Glad to meet you, Judge.
- How do, Mr. Chapman?
951
01:14:33,902 --> 01:14:35,893
- Sit down, Judge.
- Thanks.
952
01:14:36,772 --> 01:14:38,672
Does the judge's needle sew anything up?
953
01:14:38,740 --> 01:14:41,231
Everything but knotting the thread
at the end.
954
01:14:41,310 --> 01:14:42,937
I mean the noose.
955
01:14:44,046 --> 01:14:45,240
What have you got?
956
01:14:45,314 --> 01:14:48,511
The identity of Mrs. Lonely Heart
and her husband.
957
01:14:49,117 --> 01:14:51,711
Judge Hacker married them
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
958
01:14:51,787 --> 01:14:54,688
Their names are Charlotte and George Grant.
959
01:14:58,827 --> 01:14:59,953
Did you get that, Mark?
960
01:15:00,028 --> 01:15:03,327
The name of the Lonely Heart Killer
is George Grant.
961
01:15:03,699 --> 01:15:05,530
Yeah, I heard you. Go on.
962
01:15:05,601 --> 01:15:08,229
Strike two. The judge is sure
he can identify George Grant
963
01:15:08,303 --> 01:15:10,203
when he sees him again.
964
01:15:10,806 --> 01:15:13,969
You see, I took this picture myself.
965
01:15:14,710 --> 01:15:17,338
A little extra service
the judge gave his bridal couples.
966
01:15:17,412 --> 01:15:20,711
Yes. I'd send them a print
and put one in my own scrapbook.
967
01:15:20,782 --> 01:15:22,579
The judge even furnished
the "just married" sign.
968
01:15:22,651 --> 01:15:24,118
Judge, you said
you married them in Middlebury,
969
01:15:24,186 --> 01:15:27,883
- but Steve found you in Franklin.
- I retired seven years ago.
970
01:15:27,956 --> 01:15:31,323
I'm partial to fishing,
so I moved over on the coast.
971
01:15:32,027 --> 01:15:34,928
I only happened
to see your circular by chance,
972
01:15:34,997 --> 01:15:37,830
in the office of a justice friend of mine.
973
01:15:40,602 --> 01:15:43,571
I always said you were born
in a field of shamrocks.
974
01:15:43,639 --> 01:15:47,769
Sure. The McClearys raised their kids
on nothing but rabbits' feet.
975
01:15:48,410 --> 01:15:52,471
Judge, what makes you so sure
you can identify George Grant today?
976
01:15:54,383 --> 01:15:57,250
Well, mainly because right after
I took that wedding picture,
977
01:15:57,319 --> 01:16:00,482
this Grant got vexed at his wife
about something.
978
01:16:01,590 --> 01:16:05,651
I can remember his voice, snapping at her.
His face getting red...
979
01:16:07,696 --> 01:16:11,598
I know what's in your bonnet, Mark.
We still have to find George Grant.
980
01:16:11,667 --> 01:16:14,363
A needle's nothing but a hunk of steel
if you've got nothing to sew.
981
01:16:14,436 --> 01:16:15,801
We just need the thread.
982
01:16:15,871 --> 01:16:18,203
I figure we'll pick that up
right here in New York.
983
01:16:18,273 --> 01:16:21,367
When the police line up all the local
George Grants for the judge to look over.
984
01:16:23,745 --> 01:16:27,416
That's Julie. I dropped her off
at headquarters to tell Davis what we've got.
985
01:16:29,251 --> 01:16:32,618
Friend Davis is steaming
like a pressure cooker, as I said he would.
986
01:16:32,688 --> 01:16:33,746
He'll simmer down.
987
01:16:33,822 --> 01:16:36,484
So will your
lining up the George Grants idea.
988
01:16:36,558 --> 01:16:40,255
Davis says he'll do nothing until you turn
Judge Hacker over to the police.
989
01:16:40,329 --> 01:16:42,763
- Steve, you can't hold...
- Relax, doll. He'll see the judge later.
990
01:16:42,831 --> 01:16:44,924
Not tonight he won't.
The judge is our exclusive beat.
991
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,230
Nobody gets to him
till our story breaks tomorrow.
992
01:16:47,302 --> 01:16:49,031
I don't trust cops.
993
01:16:51,607 --> 01:16:52,904
You and Julie start writing the story.
994
01:16:52,975 --> 01:16:56,308
I'll put the judge in a side-street hotel
where nobody will get to him.
995
01:16:56,378 --> 01:16:57,902
Come on, Judge.
996
01:17:01,316 --> 01:17:03,648
I'll just wait for Mr. McCleary.
997
01:17:04,987 --> 01:17:06,921
He was going to put me up at his place.
998
01:17:06,989 --> 01:17:08,581
That's the first place
the wolves will start baying.
999
01:17:08,657 --> 01:17:10,921
You better come with me, Judge.
1000
01:17:10,993 --> 01:17:15,157
No, I don't think it would be wise
for me to go with you, Mr. Grant.
1001
01:17:15,731 --> 01:17:18,325
- Mister...
- Chapman, Judge. Not Grant.
1002
01:17:18,734 --> 01:17:21,294
You'd better give your brain a rest.
You're gonna need it.
1003
01:17:21,370 --> 01:17:22,735
He may be Chapman now,
1004
01:17:22,804 --> 01:17:27,104
but 21 years ago, when I married them,
he was George Grant.
1005
01:17:27,509 --> 01:17:29,534
And he was a newspaperman.
1006
01:17:30,379 --> 01:17:34,145
I remember now. He said he worked
on the paper over in Waterford.
1007
01:17:34,216 --> 01:17:37,549
Waterford, Connecticut, was that town
I couldn't think of.
1008
01:17:37,619 --> 01:17:40,110
But I knew I'd remember that voice.
1009
01:17:40,422 --> 01:17:44,586
His face... You've changed.
But it's the same man.
1010
01:17:45,060 --> 01:17:48,086
You remember that $5,000 reward, though,
don't you, Judge?
1011
01:17:48,163 --> 01:17:51,428
Judge. This is impossible.
You're getting confused.
1012
01:17:51,633 --> 01:17:54,864
He sounds to me as though
he knows exactly what he's saying.
1013
01:17:54,936 --> 01:17:57,837
This is idiotic!
Screwball, crackbrained lunacy!
1014
01:17:57,906 --> 01:18:01,364
And that's just the kind of a witness
the judge is going to make, too, Steve.
1015
01:18:01,443 --> 01:18:03,240
The police have that specimen
of hair and flesh
1016
01:18:03,311 --> 01:18:05,905
found under Mrs. Grant's fingernails.
1017
01:18:06,348 --> 01:18:09,283
I think we'd better get in touch with Davis.
1018
01:18:09,551 --> 01:18:11,212
No phone, Allison.
1019
01:18:21,797 --> 01:18:26,359
Julie pegged you right off.
But me, still wet behind the ears McCleary.
1020
01:18:27,235 --> 01:18:29,328
I went for the sleigh ride.
1021
01:18:29,971 --> 01:18:35,409
I practically built the pedestal for Chapman.
The great newspaperman. The great guy.
1022
01:18:36,778 --> 01:18:41,545
There ought to be a special Pulitzer Prize
for the world's biggest sucker, McCleary.
1023
01:18:41,616 --> 01:18:44,141
Just another one of your stupid slobs!
1024
01:18:44,219 --> 01:18:45,948
Things happen, Steve,
and then there's just no end.
1025
01:18:46,021 --> 01:18:47,921
Killing my wife was an accident.
1026
01:18:47,989 --> 01:18:51,823
And Charlie. Charlie Barnes,
who never hurt a fly in his life.
1027
01:18:52,294 --> 01:18:54,057
A washed-up drunken rummy
who had nothing to live for
1028
01:18:54,129 --> 01:18:55,790
against a career
that was just reaching its prime.
1029
01:18:55,864 --> 01:18:59,322
- It wasn't an even exchange.
- You've got a great career ahead of you now.
1030
01:18:59,401 --> 01:19:02,302
That's all down the drain.
I gotta to make different plans now.
1031
01:19:02,370 --> 01:19:04,736
You should have started running
when you got my wire, sucker!
1032
01:19:04,806 --> 01:19:06,501
I gambled.
The stakes are big enough, you don't run
1033
01:19:06,575 --> 01:19:10,443
unless there's nothing else left to do.
Don't try it, kid.
1034
01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:30,190
Steve!
1035
01:19:50,986 --> 01:19:53,011
We're just too close, kid.
1036
01:19:57,292 --> 01:20:02,059
I figured I'd find you birds here.
Still playing me for a pushover, aren't you?
1037
01:20:04,032 --> 01:20:06,227
Steve, you remember how I told you
1038
01:20:06,301 --> 01:20:09,464
that someday you'd run into
a really great story?
1039
01:20:09,905 --> 01:20:11,736
Well, this one ought to do it, huh?
1040
01:20:12,474 --> 01:20:14,374
Yeah, this one will do.
1041
01:20:14,976 --> 01:20:16,603
I'll give you the lead on it.
1042
01:20:17,846 --> 01:20:18,972
"The elusive Lonely Heart Killer,
1043
01:20:19,047 --> 01:20:20,708
"object of a nationwide search

01:20:20,782 --> 01:20:23,774

of the <i>New York Express.</i>
1045
01:20:25,387 --> 01:20:27,321
"He was apprehended
due to the persistence of a reporter
1046
01:20:27,389 --> 01:20:30,449
"who learned his trade
from the killer himself.
1047
01:20:31,259 --> 01:20:32,920

01:20:32,994 --> 01:20:35,827
"Managing Editor of the <i>New York Express."</i>
1049
01:20:37,766 --> 01:20:42,601
- Write it up big, kid. It'll sell a lot of papers.
- All right, drop it, Chapman.

Mark Chapman, editor of the New York Express, has made the newspaper a success by pursuing sensationalism and yellow journalism. His protégé is ace reporter Steve McCleary, while successful feature writer Julie Allison is frustrated by the paper's drift towards raking the muck. One night, during a lonely hearts dance organized by the Express, Chapman's estranged wife confronts him and demands that he visit her hotel room. It is revealed that Chapman's real name is George Grant, and he abandoned his wife decades earlier, changing his identity. When Chapman rebuffs her efforts toward reconciliation, she threatens to publicize his real identity. Chapman tries to restrain her, accidentally killing her in the scuffle.
Chapman attempts to cover up his crime, posing the scene to look like an accident. The police initially believe she slipped in the bathtub, but McCleary begins covering the case, and his reporting reveals it was a murder. McCleary is eager to run the story, and Chapman must acquiesce to avoid suspicion. The "mystery" murderer is dubbed the "Lonely Hearts Killer." Charlie Barnes, an alcoholic former star reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner, stumbles upon the dead woman's suitcase, in which he finds wedding photographs showing Chapman (then Grant) and his wife. He realizes that Chapman must be the killer. Barnes contacts Allison, who has been kind to him, attempting to give her the scoop, but Chapman overhears the conversation. He intercepts and kills Barnes before he can reveal the truth to a rival publication. This act only increases public interest in the story of the Lonely Hearts Killer, much to Chapman's frustration.
Assisted by Allison, McCleary continues to track down clues and leads. Eventually he locates another photo from Chapman/Grant's wedding, although the groom is shot in profile and it is not obvious that it is Chapman. McCleary and Allison travel to Connecticut to find the judge who married the murdered woman and the man in the photograph. After a week of searching, they identify the judge who conducted the marriage. They bring him back to the newspaper building, where he identifies Chapman as the groom and thus the Lonely Hearts Killer. McCleary is incredulous, but Allison puts the pieces together and the desperate Chapman pulls a gun on them. The police arrive, and Chapman cannot bring himself to shoot McCleary. Instead, he gives McCleary his blessing to publish all details of his crimes and then commits suicide by cop.

1
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,468
I know how you feel, lady.
2
00:01:52,545 --> 00:01:54,445
Just take your time
and tell me what happened.
3
00:01:54,514 --> 00:01:57,915
He had this meat ax, her blood all over it.
4
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:03,187
My brother-in-law had it.
Blood all over his hands, all over his shirt.
5
00:02:03,389 --> 00:02:05,687
I can't talk about it, Officer.
6
00:02:05,859 --> 00:02:08,851
I know it's rough, lady,
but I have to have the facts.
7
00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:14,298
He comes staggering out in the hall.
He says, "I did it. Call the cops."
8
00:02:15,101 --> 00:02:16,125
And then he...
9
00:02:16,202 --> 00:02:19,467
Snap it up, Captain.
Lieutenant Davis just blew in.
10
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,303
What's he going to do, Officer?
11
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:25,003
- I'm not a cop, lady.
- But you said...
12
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:27,610
All I said was,
"I had to ask you some questions."
13
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,079
I'm from the <i>Express.</i>
14
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:33,984
You made me go through all that.
Why, you're not decent! You're not human!
15
00:02:34,754 --> 00:02:38,121
- Sorry, lady. All part of the job.
- Well, well, Lieutenant Davis.
16
00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:42,252
- Say, this must have been a homicide.
- Hi, Lieutenant. Wait till you hear it.
17
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:45,092
- A messy one.
- You keep pulling stuff like this, McCleary,
18
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:50,193
and so help me, if it's the last thing I do,
I'll run you in! Now, that's a warning!
19
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:18,591
This is KL-75263. Get me Plaza-52099.
20
00:03:19,532 --> 00:03:24,401
You know, that wasn't a bad-Iooking dame.
Too bad the guy used an ax on her head.
21
00:03:25,271 --> 00:03:27,796
Spoiled some pretty pictures for me.
22
00:03:28,908 --> 00:03:31,877
Hey, Mark, have you put on the gloves
with those stockholders yet?
23
00:03:32,178 --> 00:03:34,203
Hi. No, I'm just taping up my hands.
24
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,976
<i>Well, you can tell them we got</i>
<i>another neat and gory one coming up.</i>
25
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:39,177
<i>Hatchet murder. Lower East Side tenement.</i>
26
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:41,652
<i>Wrapped up an exclusive interview</i>
<i>with an eyewitness.</i>
27
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:43,211
You got plenty of art?
28
00:03:43,289 --> 00:03:45,052
Yeah. Biddle grabbed all he could
of the body.
29
00:03:45,124 --> 00:03:49,185
A dame, very messy.
Got a great hysterical close-up of her sister.
30
00:03:49,529 --> 00:03:52,828
I'll even write the caption for you.
"I seen him with a bloody meat ax."
31
00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:54,592
Good. With that, I can sell papers.
32
00:03:54,667 --> 00:03:57,295
Give it to rewrite and we'll get it in the final.
Hold on. What do you want?
33
00:03:57,370 --> 00:04:00,237
Mr. Madison called down
from the boardroom again, Mr. Chapman.
34
00:04:00,306 --> 00:04:02,831
You hear that?
I'm letting them stew in their financial juices.
35
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:05,067
Well, don't overdo it. I like this job.
36
00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:08,273
You've never gone backwards
with me before, have you, kid?
37
00:04:08,348 --> 00:04:13,217
If we leave here, we'll bounce into
a bigger setup. I'll see you when you get in.
38
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:21,417
As one of the largest stockholders
in this corporation,
39
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:24,463
I would like to know
why the <i>New York Express,</i>
40
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:27,465
once a distinguished
and respected newspaper,
41
00:04:29,869 --> 00:04:33,600
has been allowed to become
a cheap and depraved publication.
42
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:38,835
Why has an editor been allowed
to turn a decent journal into this?
43
00:04:39,679 --> 00:04:41,613
A disgusting tabloid!
44
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,749
Pandering to the passions
of the base morons!
45
00:04:45,151 --> 00:04:47,847
I demand an explanation, Frank Madison.
46
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:54,750
Well, Mrs. Rawley, I...
In defense of Mark Chapman, I...
47
00:04:54,827 --> 00:04:58,263
Mr. Madison, I'd like to handle
my own defense, if you don't mind.
48
00:04:58,331 --> 00:04:59,855
Just as you say, Mark.
49
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:05,428
Mrs. Rawley, I think you
and the other stockholders should know
50
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:07,496
that your publisher hired me
as executive editor
51
00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:09,837
with full rights to transform this newspaper.
52
00:05:10,677 --> 00:05:14,443
He did this for a very simple reason.
He was fed up with operating at a loss.
53
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:18,611
Why did Mr. Madison hire me?
Well, he felt it was time that the <i>Express</i>
54
00:05:18,685 --> 00:05:21,745
buried its antiquated negative approach,
such as this.
55
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:25,756
But who won?
56
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:29,920
And become a positive newspaper.
We're in a business, ladies and gentlemen,
57
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:34,695
a business of satisfying the hunger
of the public for thrills, escape and news.
58
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:39,271
Here's where I took over
your highly respectable white elephant.
59
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:42,172
Instead of headlining a UN story,
we gave them a vice story.
60
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:44,368
Obviously, they went for it.
61
00:05:44,544 --> 00:05:46,239
We played down
the presidential appointments
62
00:05:46,312 --> 00:05:48,644
and concentrated
on the "Gorilla Man" killings.
63
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:51,576
Here's what happened.
Thirty or forty thousand new readers.
64
00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:54,245
Why, in a year, circulation's up over 110%.
65
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,686
And when we reach 750,000,
66
00:05:56,756 --> 00:06:00,886
we'll have to pay you a big bonus.
I'm not sure I like this at all.
67
00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:02,761
Did you like the dividend check
you got last month
68
00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:04,194
for the first time in 12 years?
69
00:06:04,263 --> 00:06:07,323
I don't like this, sir.
What kind of journalism is this?
70
00:06:07,967 --> 00:06:10,026
A newspaper
staging a cheap, vulgar display
71
00:06:10,103 --> 00:06:13,266
in order to attract
the stupid slobs of the city!
72
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,865
The thousands who will attend
the Lonely Heart dance tonight,
73
00:06:15,942 --> 00:06:18,467
these poor, friendly, unhappy people
whom you call stupid slobs,
74
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:20,569
buy and read this newspaper.
75
00:06:20,646 --> 00:06:22,944
Their loyalty helped put that dividend check
in your pocket.
76
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:26,712
And I suppose you think it's a public service
when one of your reporters is arrested
77
00:06:26,786 --> 00:06:30,745
for withholding information from the police?
Or whatever it was.
78
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:34,150
This, what's his name, McCleary person,
79
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,352
and the things he writes about!
I think he should be fired!
80
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:39,295
This McCleary person
is the best young reporter I've seen
81
00:06:39,365 --> 00:06:41,060
in 25 years of newspapering.
82
00:06:41,134 --> 00:06:43,193
Before I'll fire him,
I'll throw the <i>Express</i> up for grabs
83
00:06:43,269 --> 00:06:45,669
and go to work for somebody
who appreciates real talent on a paper!
84
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:47,262
- Mark, I'm sure...
- One last thing.
85
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:50,798
The only contract I have here is a handshake
between Mr. Madison and myself.
86
00:06:50,877 --> 00:06:53,141
Now, unless you give me full rights
to run this paper the way I want,
87
00:06:53,212 --> 00:06:55,271
I'll quit after the final edition today.
88
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:58,784
Now, I'm sorry I can't stay with you
any longer. I have a newspaper to get out!
89
00:07:06,092 --> 00:07:10,426
- Your story ready, Miss Allison?
- I'll have the rest in a minute, Joey.
90
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:13,831
Mr. Chapman?
91
00:07:16,502 --> 00:07:17,696
Thanks.
92
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:26,937
McCleary story in yet, Bax?
93
00:07:32,485 --> 00:07:34,885
How'd you make out in the torture chamber?
94
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:40,450
This is good. Give it a big play.
Mac'll do a byline follow-up tomorrow.
95
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:43,825
- What are these?
- Pics for that Lonely Heart spread.
96
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:45,820
- Junk them.
- But I...
97
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:47,092
Take Peters off the Lonely Hearts.
98
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:48,997
He's photographing these slobs
like a lineup in a soup kitchen
99
00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:50,660
instead of panting for a red-hot romance.
100
00:07:50,736 --> 00:07:52,533
- Okay. But I...
- Yeah?
101
00:07:52,939 --> 00:07:54,566
Yes, Mr. Madison.
102
00:07:58,211 --> 00:08:00,611
- Get an ax, smear it with blood.
- Yeah? Whose?
103
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,171
Yours. If you can't spare any,
use chocolate syrup or something.
104
00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:07,652
Chocolate? Goody! When I'm through,
I can make a plate of fudge. Drop in.
105
00:08:08,721 --> 00:08:12,157
So, you still insist a woman having 20 kids
is worth a feature article?
106
00:08:12,225 --> 00:08:15,422
Hi, genius.
I think it's worth a whole front page.
107
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:18,391
It scares me, this maternal instinct of yours.
108
00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:20,955
Decided where you're taking me
to dinner tonight?
109
00:08:23,736 --> 00:08:25,966
If Chapman hasn't been canned,
110
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,169
you're going to dine with the worst loser
who ever paid off a bet.
111
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:31,608
Then you'd better stash some
bicarbonate soda in your bag, princess.
112
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:32,837
You're gonna need it.
113
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:35,437
Don't count your steaks
before you hear the sizzle.
114
00:08:37,617 --> 00:08:39,608
Well, what's the word? Are you ex or still?
115
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,880
They're not dumb enough
to throw out a winner.
116
00:08:41,954 --> 00:08:44,650
Congratulations. I knew you'd stick
their stocks right back in their teeth.
117
00:08:44,724 --> 00:08:46,555
I told them if they fired me,
McCleary would quit, too,
118
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:49,060
and then they'd be in real trouble.
119
00:08:49,128 --> 00:08:50,527
I wouldn't put it past them
to try and dump you
120
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:53,929
to get out of paying the bonus that's
staring them right in their glassy eyes.
121
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,331
I've got news for you.
122
00:08:55,401 --> 00:08:57,528
I'm going to cut you in
for a piece of that bonus.
123
00:08:57,603 --> 00:08:59,298
What do you want me to do, retire?
124
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:00,566
I thought we could make a deal with Madison
125
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,698
to buy some of the company's stock.
126
00:09:01,774 --> 00:09:03,901
You know, kid,
we could end up owning this newspaper.
127
00:09:03,976 --> 00:09:06,536
- Well, that's the best offer I've had all week.
- I'll make you another one.
128
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:09,080
I'll take you to dinner tonight.
You pick the spot.
129
00:09:10,349 --> 00:09:14,012
I'll make you a better offer.
My date's buying. She lost a bet.
130
00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:17,544
The Grand Duchess from Vassar again?
The way I feel, I can put up with anything.
131
00:09:17,623 --> 00:09:19,818
- I'm more worried, can she put up with you?
- Get her ready.
132
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:24,124
We've got to be at the ballroom at 8:00.
There's no time for nose powder.
133
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:32,597
Don't break your ears with that grin.
I can see. He's still in.
134
00:09:33,005 --> 00:09:36,532
- No loud whoops of joy, baby?
- Well, I tried everything.
135
00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:39,770
I crossed my fingers,
said prayers, burned candles.
136
00:09:39,845 --> 00:09:43,713
- Who's your tailor, princess?
- Let's get out of here.
137
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,075
I've had to look at that Chapman face all day.
138
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:50,714
I've got to cover his fiasco tonight
and suffer some more.
139
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:53,987
At least just looking at you for an hour
will be a welcome change.
140
00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:57,496
- Lf you're taking me to dinner, let's go.
- Taking him?
141
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,195
Wait a minute.
Our bet was between you and me.
142
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:03,463
Our bet was loser buys dinner.
We didn't say for how many.
143
00:10:03,536 --> 00:10:06,994
- Why, you double-crossing...
- I knew you'd be a good loser.
144
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:10,807
Someday remind me to tell you about girls.
145
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:20,248
You talk a couple of these suckers
into getting married.
146
00:10:20,319 --> 00:10:21,581
These Lonely Heart slobs got the gimmies,
147
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:23,519
and we've got plenty to give them
from the advertisers.
148
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:25,284
If you talk one couple
into getting married by 9:00,
149
00:10:25,358 --> 00:10:27,883
by 12:00 we'll have a dozen lined up
for wedded bliss.
150
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,155
- McCleary, the Brooklyn cupid.
- McCleary, the human yes man.
151
00:10:30,229 --> 00:10:31,594
Hey, Julie!
152
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:34,155
- Hello, Charlie.
- Charlie.
153
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:38,225
- How are you, Barnes?
- Fine, Mark. You're looking fit. McCleary.
154
00:10:38,571 --> 00:10:39,595
Thank you.
155
00:10:39,672 --> 00:10:41,799
What goes on? Are you ghosting
Allison's features, Charlie?
156
00:10:41,874 --> 00:10:43,774
No, he's helping me with research
for that series
157
00:10:43,843 --> 00:10:45,640
on historical monuments in New York.
158
00:10:45,711 --> 00:10:47,872
You couldn't pick a better man.
I ought to know.
159
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:50,006
Remember those old days, Mark?
160
00:10:50,082 --> 00:10:53,813
Like the time I cut the phone cables
at the Lindbergh trial?
161
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:55,520
You scooped me. Almost cost me my job.
162
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:59,957
Scooped you, the wire services,
scooped everybody. That was the year...
163
00:11:00,026 --> 00:11:02,358
That was the year you won the Pulitzer Prize.
164
00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:06,826
Listen, Mark.
This stuff I've been doing for Julie, it's...
165
00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:13,200
- Mark, I think I'm ready to go back to work.
- That's fine. I'm glad to hear it, Charlie.
166
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,164
How about it, Mark? How about a job?
167
00:11:19,645 --> 00:11:21,510
- Why not?
- Thanks.
168
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:25,447
- Charlie, I'm so proud of you!
- This is gonna take a little juggling.
169
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:26,849
I won't be able to do anything right away.
170
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:28,978
Look, Charlie, I'll call you.
We're late, we gotta rush.
171
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:31,785
Sure, Mark, I know how it is,
always on the go.
172
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:35,258
- Coffee in the morning? Skinners?
- Sure thing, Julie.
173
00:11:40,199 --> 00:11:41,257
All the time I thought you were a...
174
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:43,699
- How much did you give him?
- $10. He earned it.
175
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:44,929
Ten bucks?
176
00:11:45,004 --> 00:11:47,336
- Buy a lot of whiskey.
- Did you see that rum-dumb?
177
00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:49,806
- Come midnight, he'll be in the gutter.
- Now, wait a minute.
178
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:51,274
He's an alky, Julie.
You shouldn't give an alky
179
00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:52,367
more than a buck at a time.
180
00:11:52,445 --> 00:11:55,414
You're liable to kill him.
Ten bucks, he can take a bath in it.
181
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:58,314
But... Well, this job
will change everything for him.
182
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:01,319
Job? I wouldn't have him in my office,
let alone on my staff.
183
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:04,117
In you go, sucker. Where are you going?
184
00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:07,085
I'm not going to let him go off believing this.
185
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:10,617
- Do you want to break his heart?
- Do I? What do you think you're doing?
186
00:12:10,696 --> 00:12:13,358
I'm giving him hopes and dreams.
A rummy like that lives on dreams.
187
00:12:13,432 --> 00:12:17,061
- He's happy. Why spoil it?
- Happy? Happy like your Lonely Hearts,
188
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,798
looking forward to those big romances
they've been promised?
189
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:23,069
- Only Charlie's romance is with a bottle.
- Get in.
190
00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:48,057
Biddle, don't leave that camera at half mast.
Stop goldbricking on the other guys.
191
00:12:48,134 --> 00:12:52,127
I must have got 100 shots already,
Mr. Chapman. My arm's giving out.
192
00:12:52,204 --> 00:12:56,334
You've only started. I want shots of people
from every state. Now start shooting.
193
00:12:58,911 --> 00:13:01,038
How are you doing, princess?
194
00:13:01,147 --> 00:13:04,116
Well, it's an effort,
but I'm trying to keep from screaming.
195
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:06,981
You were a real bundle of laughs
during dinner, too.
196
00:13:07,052 --> 00:13:08,781
Why don't you simmer down now?
197
00:13:08,854 --> 00:13:10,515
You're not so pretty
when your feathers are all ruffled.
198
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:13,183
Don't, Steve. I'm in no mood for levity.
199
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:17,491
- Do you feel like dancing?
- Do you figure that'll smooth my feathers?
200
00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:21,691
I've got a great idea for you. Grab yourself
one of these Lonely Heart boys.
201
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:25,066
Tell him you're a club date. Con him.
Get his life history.
202
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:28,903
- And there's your feature for tomorrow.
- Mark Chapman, Junior.
203
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:31,568
It'll sell papers, you left that out.
204
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:34,871
Happy hunting, cupid.
Mustn't let the boss down.
205
00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:38,312
Save at least one dance for me, princess.
206
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:58,034
Every time I aim my lens
at one of these walking zombies,
207
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:01,334
I think of the time
I covered the Miss America contest.
208
00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:03,705
The tears almost start to flow.
209
00:14:06,378 --> 00:14:09,370
From McCleary, you get nothing but service.
Ten minutes before 9:00,
210
00:14:09,448 --> 00:14:13,179
and couple number one. Mary and Joe
met in front of the Arkansas booth.
211
00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:16,221
It was love at first sight, almost. Right?
212
00:14:16,288 --> 00:14:20,349
Well, sure. I'm from Texas,
but I sure love that Arkansas cooking.
213
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,890
- You love her, don't you?
- Well, sure, I reckon so.
214
00:14:23,963 --> 00:14:26,158
- Mary, you love him?
- Yes.
215
00:14:26,966 --> 00:14:31,130
- See, they're crazy about each other.
- Yeah, that's fine. Hey, Edwards.
216
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:33,535
We've got a romance going here.
They're ready for the orange blossoms.
217
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,837
- Well, how do you do? And congratulations.
- Save the teeth for the bandstand.
218
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:38,171
Get up there
and make the big announcement.
219
00:14:38,244 --> 00:14:42,044
Yes, sir, Mr. Chapman.
Come with me, you lucky, lucky people.
220
00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:46,842
Hey, you ain't gonna forget about the bed
with the built-in television set?
221
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:48,614
You'll spend your honeymoon in front of it.
222
00:14:51,624 --> 00:14:55,321
- Nice going, Steve, keep punching.
- I'll get the camera boys up to cover it.
223
00:14:57,129 --> 00:15:01,862
- Did you find a feature to write about yet?
- I haven't, and I don't intend to.
224
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:05,435
This bribing of poor, ignorant dopes
into a public wedding
225
00:15:05,504 --> 00:15:07,665
is cheap, cruel and disgusting.
226
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:10,573
This whole Wild West show is ridiculous,
and I want no part of it.
227
00:15:10,643 --> 00:15:13,305
Miss Allison,
your contract has six months to run.
228
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:17,281
My contract was made with Mr. Madison
before you took over the <i>Express.</i>
229
00:15:17,349 --> 00:15:18,543
If you don't like the way I run the paper,
230
00:15:18,617 --> 00:15:21,245
I have an agreement
that might be satisfactory to both of us.
231
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,811
Take six months' vacation with pay!
232
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:30,286
No, thank you, Mr. Chapman. I'll work it out.
I like my feature writing.
233
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,898
Thinking people like it, too,
234
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:37,561
even though there aren't many of them
buying the <i>Express</i> anymore. Good night!
235
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:43,605
That's it.
236
00:15:50,382 --> 00:15:53,613
<i>Friends, brothers and sisters</i>
<i>in the Lonely Hearts Club.</i>
237
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:55,677
<i>I have wonderful news for you,</i>
238
00:15:55,754 --> 00:15:59,747
<i>living proof that this magnificent club</i>
<i>is more than just a name.</i>
239
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:04,386
<i>But first, how would you like to meet</i>
<i>the great man who created your club?</i>
240
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:11,998
<i>Mr. Mark Chapman,</i>
<i>editor of the</i> New York Express.
241
00:16:12,071 --> 00:16:14,665
<i>Put the spotlight on him, over there!</i>
242
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,782
<i>Now here's the wonderful news.</i>
243
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:37,056
<i>Meet Mary and Joe, two happy people</i>
<i>who came here tonight as total strangers.</i>
244
00:16:37,463 --> 00:16:42,400
<i>They met, they danced, they found love.</i>
<i>They're going to get married!</i>
245
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,474
George?
246
00:16:57,516 --> 00:17:00,041
<i>- As the first couple who fell in love tonight...</i>
- George Grant!
247
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:01,814
<i>...Mary and Joe will receive...</i>
- It is you!
248
00:17:01,887 --> 00:17:03,752
<i>...compliments of the</i> Express...
- Charlotte.
249
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:05,119
<i>... a wedding night in a New York hotel...</i>
250
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:08,921
Finding you here...
I was so sure that you must be dead.
251
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:11,759
George Grant is dead.
252
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:14,259
Yes, I just heard.
253
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,134
- You're the...
- We can't talk here.
254
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:19,901
We can talk at my place, George.
255
00:17:20,806 --> 00:17:23,036
We've got a lot to talk about.
256
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:26,509
Go on out. I'll meet you at the side entrance.
257
00:17:32,785 --> 00:17:35,151
The years have been kinder to you.
258
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:38,621
What is it, 19, 20?
I used to keep track, but I don't...
259
00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:41,716
What's the difference?
Now that you found me, what do you want?
260
00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:57,401
May I?
261
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:07,375
- Come on, quit stalling around.
- What was it they called you at the ball?
262
00:18:07,453 --> 00:18:08,977
- Mark?
- Chapman.
263
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:15,755
When did you change your name, George?
Right after you left me?
264
00:18:17,062 --> 00:18:18,962
So I wouldn't find you?
265
00:18:19,631 --> 00:18:21,292
You knew I was so crazy about you
266
00:18:21,366 --> 00:18:24,028
I'd look and look and look,
didn't you, George?
267
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,697
Come on, get to it. What do you want?
268
00:18:27,739 --> 00:18:32,574
You're still in a hurry, aren't you?
That's the thing I remember best about you.
269
00:18:32,878 --> 00:18:37,645
The fellow who always ran and never walked.
Had to get places fast!
270
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,749
And you got places, didn't you, George?
271
00:18:44,323 --> 00:18:46,883
Here, you need some money?
Here's some for now.
272
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,860
Money? The payoff, George?
273
00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:54,497
How much? How much for each year?
274
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:58,633
How much for the agony
and the heartbreak and the fear?
275
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:03,141
- Charlotte, cut the ham act.
- This could be for the doctor bill, see?
276
00:19:06,578 --> 00:19:10,173
I was 20 years younger then,
took things more seriously.
277
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:14,142
I can't imagine how much.
278
00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:18,087
You're boring me now, like you always did.
279
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:20,388
People always bored you
280
00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:23,155
when you didn't have
any more use for them, didn't they, George?
281
00:19:23,228 --> 00:19:25,025
Bores and nuisances, I get rid of them.
282
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:27,497
Yeah, the same gentle way
you got rid of me.
283
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:28,692
My lawyer will get in touch with you.
284
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:31,702
He'll arrange a quiet divorce
and generous alimony.
285
00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:34,671
You're an important man now,
aren't you, George?
286
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:37,038
Editor of the <i>New York Express.</i>
287
00:19:38,977 --> 00:19:43,346
I never thought I'd be the wife of the editor
of a big New York newspaper.
288
00:19:43,415 --> 00:19:47,112
You're not, and don't get any ideas
about forcing yourself.
289
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:51,020
You've got nothing to gain by refusing me
a divorce now like you did 20 years ago.
290
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:56,759
I was young then and so foolishly in love.
I wanted so much to hold onto you.
291
00:19:57,496 --> 00:20:00,021
I made all of my mistakes when I was young,
and you were the biggest one.
292
00:20:00,098 --> 00:20:02,794
I fell for an attractive hunk of flesh.
293
00:20:04,169 --> 00:20:07,627
"Hold me." You didn't try to hang on.
You strangled me.
294
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,936
I'd smother to death with you.
295
00:20:15,747 --> 00:20:19,808
Turnabout's fair play.
When you walked out on me, I died inside.
296
00:20:20,352 --> 00:20:23,116
When I walk out of here, you're gonna die.
297
00:20:23,188 --> 00:20:27,852
Everything you worked for, grabbed for,
ruined people to get, it's all gonna die!
298
00:20:27,926 --> 00:20:29,393
You're a neurotic screwball!
299
00:20:29,461 --> 00:20:33,955
I'm gonna spread your story all over town.
Mark Chapman, the great editor!
300
00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:37,829
Wife deserter!
Living under a false name for 20 years.
301
00:20:39,137 --> 00:20:42,334
What else did you cover up
living under a phony name?
302
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:44,637
Your publishers are gonna love this.
303
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:49,044
And the other papers, they'll cut you
to ribbons with this information!
304
00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,470
Hi, honey, let me have the city room.
305
00:23:33,812 --> 00:23:37,179
This is Elkins.
If you need me, I'm over in Skinners.
306
00:23:38,316 --> 00:23:41,808
What? Having breakfast. Yeah, breakfast.
307
00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:53,323
Yes, Julie, after that fortunate
and historical meeting with Mark yesterday,
308
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:57,629
I had considerable difficulty
wooing the fickle Morpheus.
309
00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:01,939
That explains it.
Those bleeding eyes today.
310
00:24:02,474 --> 00:24:05,341
Well, I did have a couple
with the boys down below.
311
00:24:05,410 --> 00:24:08,277
A sort of celebration, and then farewell.
312
00:24:11,049 --> 00:24:13,574
You should have left them long ago, Charlie.
313
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:15,916
Any man who was big enough
in his day to rate that,
314
00:24:16,555 --> 00:24:20,389
a place in Skinner's Hall of Fame,
is still too big for Dead-End Street.
315
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:25,028
No regrets, Julie. My temporary alliance
with the denizens of the Bowery
316
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:29,863
has provided me with a deeper insight
into the whys and wherefores of mankind.
317
00:24:35,674 --> 00:24:38,006
A proven medical fact,
when the human system
318
00:24:38,076 --> 00:24:40,840
has been lengthily nurtured
on alcoholic stimulants,
319
00:24:40,912 --> 00:24:44,871
any abrupt cessation of same
will result in a negative reaction.
320
00:24:45,016 --> 00:24:46,381
Absolutely.
321
00:24:47,652 --> 00:24:52,385
But I'm tapering off. I'll be a firmly-rooted
passenger on the old water wagon
322
00:24:52,524 --> 00:24:54,856
by the time Mark's ready for me.
323
00:24:57,295 --> 00:25:01,561
Charlie, don't bet everything
on Mark Chapman.
324
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:06,666
He won't let me down.
First time I felt ready, I asked him for a job,
325
00:25:06,938 --> 00:25:10,032
and what happened?
He offered me one, didn't he?
326
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:15,173
- Mr. Lonely Heart.
- Compliments of the <i>Express,</i> Myrtle.
327
00:25:15,747 --> 00:25:18,545
- I see you read. You stick with the radio.
- Yeah.
328
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:20,744
Hey, McCleary,
I read that rag of yours by accident.
329
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:23,287
Yeah, me, too.
From ax murder to Ionely hearts.
330
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:25,653
What are you trying to prove,
you're versatile or something?
331
00:25:25,724 --> 00:25:27,885
What are you gentlemen
reading our rag for?
332
00:25:27,959 --> 00:25:30,427
Trying to find out
what's happening that's news?
333
00:25:30,495 --> 00:25:32,929
Good morning, kiddies. What's the word?
334
00:25:35,066 --> 00:25:36,624
Silly, that's the word.
335
00:25:36,701 --> 00:25:38,635
Still a heaping bunch of joy,
aren't you, princess?
336
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:43,663
Lonely Hearts Ball. Journalism has certainly
changed since the old days.
337
00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:47,302
What happened to you last night?
Pulled a fast fade on me.
338
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:50,712
- Don't tell me you actually missed me?
- I needed protection.
339
00:25:50,782 --> 00:25:53,250
Some of our love-hungry subscribers
got mixed up.
340
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:56,014
They were offering me deep-freezes
and vacuum cleaners.
341
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:59,318
- I'm surprised you refused.
- How do you know I did?
342
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:02,849
Certainly heavy coverage
on the unrequited passion set.
343
00:26:03,261 --> 00:26:06,924
Our love and romance edition, Charlie.
Even the crossword puzzle.
344
00:26:06,998 --> 00:26:08,966
But nothing from the Allison corner.
345
00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:12,335
Not interested in romance, Julie?
346
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:16,465
Not the kind that blossoms
on free gas stoves and television sets.
347
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:21,235
- About that Lonely Heart gag, I've got a...
- Steve, on the radio.
348
00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:27,652
- Julie. Hi, Charlie.
- Hi, Biddle.
349
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:31,086
Police call. Dead dame in a flat
on Third Avenue. Are you interested?
350
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:33,090
Well, she'd probably be a cheerful change.
351
00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:36,685
I'm still getting the icebox treatment
from the female on my left.
352
00:26:36,761 --> 00:26:40,162
After them scarecrows I shot last night,
I figure my luck's gotta change.
353
00:26:40,231 --> 00:26:43,428
Even dead, this dame's bound
to have more glamour.
354
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:45,467
Let's give her a look.
355
00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:48,801
Thanks for the coffee, kitten.
356
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:03,785
Another scarecrow. I'm batting goose eggs.
357
00:27:05,323 --> 00:27:07,848
Dames have got to make trouble
even when they die, don't they, pal?
358
00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:11,384
Yeah, water downstairs and water upstairs.
359
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:14,531
Probably wanted a room
with a swimming pool.
360
00:27:14,966 --> 00:27:16,866
Hey, Davis, what are you doing here?
361
00:27:16,935 --> 00:27:21,031
I just wanted to see if I couldn't get
to one of our calls before you did.
362
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:22,471
This isn't a homicide?
363
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:24,531
We got a new man
on the beat here, McCleary.
364
00:27:24,609 --> 00:27:26,167
He's built like you between the ears.
365
00:27:26,244 --> 00:27:29,975
He saw a hole in the back of the dame's head
and figured she was slugged.
366
00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:31,515
What's your guess, Lieutenant?
367
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:33,949
She put the hole
in the back of her head herself?
368
00:27:34,019 --> 00:27:36,783
Yeah, wise-eyes, that's it. That's it exactly.
369
00:27:36,855 --> 00:27:40,291
She slipped in the tub
and opened her skull on a faucet.
370
00:27:40,358 --> 00:27:43,953
- What was the lady's name, Sherlock?
- The landlady says Jane Jones.
371
00:27:44,029 --> 00:27:45,360
- Do you believe it?
- Yeah, I believe it.
372
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:47,762
I'm fresh out of nursery school.
373
00:27:48,466 --> 00:27:52,402
Jane Jones, alias Jane Doe.
Say, Dave, you're really humming.
374
00:27:53,204 --> 00:27:56,401
Look, nuisance, if you so much as make
these bedsprings squeak once again,
375
00:27:56,474 --> 00:28:00,308
- I'll throw you in the tub with the dame.
- Lieutenant, please.
376
00:28:04,616 --> 00:28:08,177
You're wrong, Dave.
She was murdered. Clear as your head.
377
00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:10,347
Murdered for her money.
378
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:13,949
Why, this lady must have spent easily
six or seven dollars a year on clothes.
379
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:15,492
Why don't you go home, McCleary?
380
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,462
There's nothing around here
to interest a big newsman like you.
381
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:27,827
Look, junior, keep your nose
in your own business, or I'll run you in
382
00:28:27,906 --> 00:28:31,137
- for obstruction, suspicion and vagrancy.
- Why, sure, Dave.
383
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:33,837
I just thought there might be something
in here to help identify her.
384
00:28:33,912 --> 00:28:35,243
No suitcase, huh?
385
00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:41,715
- In there, boys.
- Okay, Steve, I got all I need.
386
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:46,957
Thanks, Dave.
387
00:28:49,127 --> 00:28:52,062
- No, not you two again.
- What do you guys do,
388
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:54,758
smell these things
before the police call is even in?
389
00:28:54,833 --> 00:28:57,301
Try to forget your mugs.
There's a lady in the bathroom.
390
00:28:57,368 --> 00:29:00,531
- Yes, so knock before entering.
- Coming through.
391
00:29:10,381 --> 00:29:12,406
- What'd you pinch that for?
- Look familiar?
392
00:29:12,484 --> 00:29:15,544
I had them in front of me all night, didn't I?
393
00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:18,747
Hey, that's off a Lonely Hearts badge!
394
00:29:18,823 --> 00:29:22,554
Yeah. How many pictures
did you and the boys take at the ball?
395
00:29:22,627 --> 00:29:24,925
Three, maybe four hundred. I don't know.
396
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:27,260
Rush the print of Miss Bathtub
through the lab.
397
00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:28,594
Then check it against the others.
398
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:30,964
- See if you can match them up, okay?
- Sure.
399
00:29:31,035 --> 00:29:34,937
- Shouldn't take more than a week.
- Yeah, but I want it done in an hour.
400
00:29:35,006 --> 00:29:36,701
- I'll see you at the office.
- Where are you going?
401
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:39,903
I'm gonna hitch a ride to the morgue.
If you match them, call me.
402
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,674
How about a ride to the morgue, Pete?
403
00:30:04,969 --> 00:30:07,096
Hey, Needle Nellie, anybody home?
404
00:30:07,172 --> 00:30:08,662
Hey, handsome.
405
00:30:09,007 --> 00:30:11,271
- How you doing, sweetheart?
- Doing all right, handsome.
406
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:13,037
Come here and give us a kiss.
407
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,815
- How's business at the morgue, Nellie?
- Dead.
408
00:30:19,551 --> 00:30:21,178
Business is dead.
409
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:25,621
- It's good to see you, handsome.
- Likewise, sweetheart.
410
00:30:25,690 --> 00:30:27,385
A long time between dates.
411
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:30,621
But right now,
I come seeking your expert female advice.
412
00:30:30,695 --> 00:30:34,131
Anybody that's lived as long as me
can give it. Shoot.
413
00:30:34,732 --> 00:30:37,565
Nellie, if you had just one dress
to your name
414
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:39,535
and you'd fastened something onto it
with a safety pin,
415
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:40,969
and maybe you were in a hurry,
416
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,008
would you take time to undo the pin,
or would you rip the whole thing off?
417
00:30:44,075 --> 00:30:46,305
- This is a riddle?
- No, seriously.
418
00:30:46,377 --> 00:30:51,041
Well, if I had 10 dresses and the house
was burning down, I'd still undo the pin.
419
00:30:51,115 --> 00:30:52,639
Any lady would.
420
00:30:53,017 --> 00:30:55,485
That's what I figured.
I just wanted a woman to confirm it.
421
00:30:55,553 --> 00:30:57,453
I love you, Nellie. I love you.
422
00:30:57,522 --> 00:31:00,047
- Where you going, handsome?
- I gotta see the doc.
423
00:31:00,124 --> 00:31:01,955
Maybe I can get you some business, Nellie.
424
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:11,364
Did you get those ringside ducats
I sent you?
425
00:31:11,436 --> 00:31:13,427
Steve! Yeah, it was a great fight.
426
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:15,438
Mishke really tore that Haybelly apart,
didn't he?
427
00:31:15,506 --> 00:31:19,840
Had so much blood spattered on my glasses,
I missed the knockout punch.
428
00:31:20,478 --> 00:31:24,175
Look, Doc,
they just brought in an accidental death.
429
00:31:24,249 --> 00:31:27,047
- They're putting her in the freezer right now.
- So?
430
00:31:27,118 --> 00:31:30,110
So, I'd like you to give her
the onceover for me. An autopsy.
431
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:33,646
Accidents are out of my province.
You know that, Steve.
432
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:35,383
It's going to be
a great World Series this year.
433
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:37,087
Yeah, that it is.
434
00:31:37,528 --> 00:31:41,362
I don't suppose you'd be interested
in viewing the festivities from a box seat?
435
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:47,132
Are you trying to bribe a city official?
436
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:51,135
Right behind first base, Doc.
437
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:11,028
Yeah. Yeah, get some prints ready.
I think we've got our front page.
438
00:32:11,095 --> 00:32:14,792
Well, this is your lucky day. Drop back,
I want you to mark my racing form.
439
00:32:14,866 --> 00:32:16,766
Get the door, will you?
440
00:32:17,368 --> 00:32:20,064
Yeah, and don't forget, I smoke cigars.
441
00:32:20,838 --> 00:32:24,831
- Hey, Steve, let me wipe those off a little.
- Wipe them tomorrow.
442
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:32,008
Will you smile again
if I take you to dinner tonight?
443
00:32:32,083 --> 00:32:34,847
- A little celebration coming up.
- What's the celebration?
444
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:37,649
Another McCleary scoop.
Getting monotonous, isn't it?
445
00:32:37,722 --> 00:32:42,557
That dinner. A two-party celebration,
or are you bringing a friend?
446
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:44,559
Just you and me alone.
447
00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:47,825
I'll smile again.
What are the fragile treasures?
448
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:52,060
Very rare items.
Pictures of a dame with her mouth shut.
449
00:32:53,071 --> 00:32:55,972
- Joey, catch the door, will you?
- All right.
450
00:32:58,676 --> 00:33:01,270
I've been waiting a long time
for a chance to say this.
451
00:33:01,346 --> 00:33:03,439
- Stop the presses!
- Did you get a morning-after story
452
00:33:03,514 --> 00:33:05,004
on any of those couples
we married last night?
453
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:07,483
I got a story from one
of the Lonely Heart Ball guests, all right.
454
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:11,079
But she didn't get married last night.
She got murdered!
455
00:33:19,964 --> 00:33:23,263
- Who is she?
- A Jane Doe. Nobody knows her real name.
456
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:25,996
The police think she slipped in the bathtub
and bashed her head in,
457
00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:30,507
- or they did until a little while ago.
- But you knew better all the time?
458
00:33:30,575 --> 00:33:32,941
After Doc O'Hanlon got through
cutting her up for me.
459
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:36,538
She died between 9:00 and 12:00 last night,
before she went under in the tub.
460
00:33:36,614 --> 00:33:38,479
No water in her lungs.
461
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:40,283
Did he find anything else?
462
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:44,788
Yeah, her killer was a man, middle-aged,
fair complexion. Had brown hair.
463
00:33:45,390 --> 00:33:47,620
O'Hanlon found that
in scraping under her fingernails.
464
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:50,593
You ran into this
just by playing a hunch, huh?
465
00:33:50,661 --> 00:33:53,858
A string from a Lonely Heart badge
was on her dress in the closet.
466
00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:57,628
The badge had been torn off.
I followed through from there.
467
00:34:00,371 --> 00:34:04,364
Well, is this a story,
this Lonely Heart murdered after the ball?
468
00:34:04,575 --> 00:34:06,805
Can you sell papers with this?
469
00:34:10,248 --> 00:34:13,342
Baxter, Jordan, Allison,
get in here right away.
470
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:15,477
They didn't know her name, you said?
471
00:34:15,553 --> 00:34:18,920
Well, she called herself Jane Jones.
How phony can you get?
472
00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:20,014
We've just been struck by lightning.
473
00:34:20,091 --> 00:34:22,025
It's a great follow-up
for the Lonely Hearts Ball.
474
00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:24,118
Tell them about it, Steve.
475
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:30,997
We'll call her Miss Lonely Heart,
no other name. Alone in the city, friendless.
476
00:34:31,536 --> 00:34:34,801
She went to our shindig last night,
hunting for a soul mate.
477
00:34:34,872 --> 00:34:37,363
Maybe she found one, the wrong one.
478
00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:39,872
Anyway, she left early,
and sometime before midnight
479
00:34:39,944 --> 00:34:41,343
she was beaten to death in her room
480
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:44,540
by a brown-haired, middle-aged man
of fair complexion.
481
00:34:44,615 --> 00:34:46,480
A smash follow-up is right.
482
00:34:46,551 --> 00:34:49,247
The killer had a head full of brains.
Good nerves.
483
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,723
He lugged her to the bathroom,
stripped her, tossed the body in the tub.
484
00:34:54,459 --> 00:34:58,520
No. No, he stood the body in the tub.
Aimed, let go!
485
00:34:58,696 --> 00:35:03,190
Bang, her head cracks the faucet.
Almost perfect crime. Ordinary accident.
486
00:35:04,035 --> 00:35:06,936
He's working smartly,
a guy with imagination.
487
00:35:07,004 --> 00:35:10,963
He takes her slip, stockings,
washes them, hangs them up to dry.
488
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,000
He wipes his prints off everywhere.
489
00:35:13,077 --> 00:35:16,274
He starts getting rid of anything
that could identify her.
490
00:35:16,347 --> 00:35:18,907
He took a ring off her,
probably a wedding or engagement ring.
491
00:35:18,983 --> 00:35:22,111
- How do you know that?
- Whitish circle, third finger, left hand.
492
00:35:22,186 --> 00:35:25,587
- O'Hanlon spotted it at the morgue.
- All right, go on, go on.
493
00:35:25,656 --> 00:35:27,954
Well, he grabs any other personal items
that might identify her
494
00:35:28,025 --> 00:35:29,856
and throws them in her suitcase and blows.
495
00:35:29,927 --> 00:35:32,361
- How do you know she's got a suitcase?
- Every dame's got a suitcase.
496
00:35:32,430 --> 00:35:34,022
But there wasn't one
in Miss Lonely Heart's room.
497
00:35:34,098 --> 00:35:35,861
This'll kick up the circulation.
498
00:35:36,701 --> 00:35:40,137
We can make the 5:00 edition exclusive.
Steve can do the lead story.
499
00:35:40,204 --> 00:35:42,263
Jordan, I want three column cuts
of the dame's picture at the ball
500
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:44,433
and the murder photo.
Allison, write me a sob story,
501
00:35:44,509 --> 00:35:46,568
"Miss Lonely Heart
won't be Ionely anymore."
502
00:35:46,644 --> 00:35:47,736
Fine job, Steve.
503
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,303
Sure, it's a great job,
but we're gonna top it.
504
00:35:50,381 --> 00:35:51,439
How?
505
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,513
- Bury her.
- Bury her?
506
00:35:57,555 --> 00:35:59,682
The best story I ever dug up, and he tops it.
507
00:35:59,757 --> 00:36:02,157
By 5:00 tonight, Miss Lonely Heart
will be selling newspapers for us
508
00:36:02,226 --> 00:36:05,923
on every street corner in Manhattan.
Now, go on, get going.
509
00:37:42,126 --> 00:37:43,787
Be seeing you, Humpty.
510
00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:31,269
Look, I've shown you everything in the shop.
That's the last one I've got!
511
00:38:35,513 --> 00:38:36,605
Mark!
512
00:38:39,283 --> 00:38:41,217
- Mark, old boy!
- How are you, Charlie.
513
00:38:41,285 --> 00:38:45,085
What distasteful mission brings you to this
unholy neighborhood, Mark, my friend?
514
00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:46,589
I'm just looking around.
I like to keep my hand in,
515
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,124
even though I am strapped
to a desk right now.
516
00:38:48,192 --> 00:38:50,126
You wouldn't mean you're keeping
your hand in by working
517
00:38:50,194 --> 00:38:51,821
on this Lonely Heart murder,
would you, now, Mark?
518
00:38:51,896 --> 00:38:53,955
I've got a staff to take care of that for me.
519
00:38:54,031 --> 00:38:56,727
You can't kid an old newshound
like me, Mark.
520
00:38:56,801 --> 00:39:00,999
Still following our old formula,
first check the hock shops for a clue?
521
00:39:01,072 --> 00:39:03,336
Didn't wanna tip your hand
to those cops in there, did you?
522
00:39:03,407 --> 00:39:05,637
I tell you I'm not down here on business.
Now stop playing hawkshaw!
523
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:08,770
Let me show you Charlie Barnes
still has the master's touch
524
00:39:08,846 --> 00:39:11,713
- when it comes to following up a lead, Mark.
- Tell me about it later, will you,
525
00:39:11,782 --> 00:39:15,684
- when you come back to work for me?
- You're afraid I'll get drunk and tip the story.
526
00:39:15,753 --> 00:39:18,881
- I'm tapering off, Mark.
- That's fine, Charlie. I'll call you.
527
00:39:18,956 --> 00:39:23,825
Let me work this with you, Mark. I know
this whole district from gutter to rum-heads.
528
00:39:23,894 --> 00:39:26,226
Pete in the pawnshop's
an honored friend of mine.
529
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:27,992
- Yeah.
- I can get him to work with me and...
530
00:39:28,065 --> 00:39:30,898
- Hello, Charlie!
- Go away.
531
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:35,400
- Here, Charlie, here's something to count.
- I don't want a handout, Mark.
532
00:39:35,473 --> 00:39:37,498
- I want to work.
- You can pay me later. I'll call you, Charlie.
533
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:39,338
Mark, let me help...
534
00:40:13,544 --> 00:40:14,704
Hang onto them, Pete.
535
00:40:14,779 --> 00:40:17,873
We'll drop back payday
and look them over again.
536
00:40:25,022 --> 00:40:26,489
Them guys should wear glasses.
537
00:40:26,557 --> 00:40:29,185
They do so much looking,
but never no buying.
538
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:31,125
Get this for me, Pete.
539
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:34,356
Taking something out for a change
instead of putting it in, Charlie?
540
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:37,526
I admit to the novelty of the occasion, Peter.
541
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:50,109
- Hey, you didn't hock this with me.
- Doing a favor for a friend.
542
00:40:52,082 --> 00:40:56,178
Them cops. You know, if someday
they should buy something from me, I'd...
543
00:40:56,253 --> 00:40:59,620
No, that'd be bad. I'd drop dead.
544
00:41:02,226 --> 00:41:06,185
You know, Charlie, I ought to be
in some other kind of business.
545
00:41:06,697 --> 00:41:10,497
You really meet a very poor class of people
in this business.
546
00:41:10,768 --> 00:41:13,259
Not meaning anything personal,
you understand.
547
00:41:13,337 --> 00:41:16,773
But I'm always dealing with people
who are in trouble,
548
00:41:17,274 --> 00:41:21,608
people who gotta hock something.
People who gotta buy something cheap.
549
00:41:24,582 --> 00:41:28,109
I don't like cheap things.
I never did and I never will.
550
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:34,356
I should have been big fur man, maybe,
or big jewelry man.
551
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,651
Then I could deal with rich people.
552
00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:42,554
That's the kind of people
I really prefer to deal with.
553
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:47,694
- Hey! How much is on this ticket?
- Two bucks.
554
00:41:58,249 --> 00:41:59,841
Here, sign here.
555
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:08,424
You know, sometimes they say
even the rich people aren't happy.
556
00:42:08,492 --> 00:42:11,017
But how that could be, I don't know.
557
00:42:12,296 --> 00:42:15,857
Thank you, Peter.
Thank you for being in business!
558
00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:21,433
Thank you very much.
559
00:42:33,517 --> 00:42:35,041
A shot, Heeney.
560
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:38,614
You look like your blood pressure's boiling,
Charlie. What's the matter?
561
00:42:38,689 --> 00:42:40,680
The classic irony of the age, Heeney.
562
00:42:40,758 --> 00:42:43,659
Charlie Barnes, a stewbum,
rocking the newspaper world
563
00:42:43,727 --> 00:42:46,457
like he never did in all his sober days.
564
00:43:00,411 --> 00:43:02,208
- Composing.
- Yes, sir.
565
00:43:04,481 --> 00:43:07,712
Yes. Yes, madam,
I have two answers for you.
566
00:43:08,185 --> 00:43:11,313
First, you shouldn't talk
to strange men in bars.
567
00:43:11,388 --> 00:43:13,982
Second, because he asked you to marry him
568
00:43:14,058 --> 00:43:16,356
then hit you with a pretzel dish
when you refused
569
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:19,191
isn't conclusive proof
he's our Lonely Heart Killer,
570
00:43:19,263 --> 00:43:21,697
but thanks for calling, lady. Bye.
571
00:43:23,334 --> 00:43:26,326
Phony or not,
those tips belong to the police.
572
00:43:26,704 --> 00:43:30,299
When are you going to get rid of the idea
you're wearing an invisible badge?
573
00:43:30,374 --> 00:43:34,140
Julie Allison. Hello, Charlie. How are you?
574
00:43:36,714 --> 00:43:38,181
The Lonely Heart murder?
575
00:43:38,248 --> 00:43:42,844
And you've got to meet me right away.
We have to figure out how to handle this.
576
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,514
I know the killer, and it's dynamite.
577
00:43:46,757 --> 00:43:48,952
Well, Charlie,
that story is really Steve McCleary's.
578
00:43:49,026 --> 00:43:52,587
- I think you'd better talk to...
- No, no, Julie, I want you to have this.
579
00:43:52,663 --> 00:43:55,393
Now I can repay you, Julie child,
for everything.
580
00:43:55,466 --> 00:43:59,596
Julie, this is so... It's so tremendous,
it'll put both of us on top.
581
00:44:02,272 --> 00:44:04,035
What? What, Julie?
582
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:08,835
Okay, okay, both of you meet me.
583
00:44:08,912 --> 00:44:11,540
Maybe we will need
somebody like McCleary.
584
00:44:11,615 --> 00:44:14,175
Steve, Charlie says
he has information on the murder.
585
00:44:14,251 --> 00:44:18,654
- He's awfully excited about something.
- About two quarts full, probably.
586
00:44:19,890 --> 00:44:21,881
Yeah, Charlie, what's up?
587
00:44:22,726 --> 00:44:25,695
I wanted Julie to have this,
but she insists you be on in it.
588
00:44:25,763 --> 00:44:27,663
I mean you be in on it.
589
00:44:27,965 --> 00:44:30,297
- What's the matter, Charlie?
- No.
590
00:44:31,368 --> 00:44:34,462
- What? You're not sore, are you?
- No, go away!
591
00:44:36,006 --> 00:44:38,099
What? What have I got?
592
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:40,939
I've got the Lonely Heart Killer for you,
that's what!
593
00:44:41,011 --> 00:44:44,777
Gee, Charlie, that's great.
You getting him crocked so he'll confess?
594
00:44:44,848 --> 00:44:48,807
I haven't got him. I know who he is.
595
00:44:54,858 --> 00:44:55,950
What?
596
00:44:59,563 --> 00:45:03,465
Yes, I'm in a saloon.
I'm in Heeney's. But I'm not drunk.
597
00:45:04,034 --> 00:45:07,128
I've just taken the hottest story
of the century out of hock, and I'm gonna...
598
00:45:08,038 --> 00:45:11,064
He's really flying tonight.
See what your 10 bucks did?
599
00:45:11,141 --> 00:45:15,009
Stop treating him like some
weak-minded child. Listen to what he's got.
600
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:19,482
- He's not this excited for nothing.
- You know what he's got? The DTs.
601
00:45:19,616 --> 00:45:21,675
Charlie Barnes, tanked to the eyeballs,
602
00:45:21,752 --> 00:45:24,880
says he just took the Lonely Heart
murder solution out of hock.
603
00:45:26,056 --> 00:45:29,583
Hello, Charlie?
Still there? Let's start all over again.
604
00:45:30,294 --> 00:45:34,788
Listen, you mental midget. The only reason
I'm calling the <i>Express</i> is Julie Allison.
605
00:45:34,865 --> 00:45:37,732
Before I'd give this story
to an insolent young pup like you,
606
00:45:37,801 --> 00:45:39,792
I'd take it to the <i>Daily Leader!</i>
607
00:45:39,870 --> 00:45:42,304
Charlie's mad now.
Gonna sell it to the <i>Leader.</i>
608
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:46,069
- Hang up on the drunken slob.
- Julie? She just left.
609
00:45:46,477 --> 00:45:48,570
I guess we'll just have to read your story
in the <i>Leader</i> tomorrow.
610
00:45:48,645 --> 00:45:50,772
- So long, pal.
- Give me that.
611
00:45:51,815 --> 00:45:53,077
- Hello? Hello?
- Don't be silly, Julie.
612
00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:55,141
He'll just keep you up all night
listening to his fairytales.
613
00:45:55,219 --> 00:45:59,349
- Where was he calling from?
- Bellevue psycho ward, I think he said.
614
00:46:00,257 --> 00:46:01,747
Your 10 bucks.
615
00:47:13,697 --> 00:47:15,460
- Keep this for me, Heeney.
- Why, sure, Charlie.
616
00:47:15,532 --> 00:47:17,056
A couple hours.
617
00:47:17,868 --> 00:47:20,359
One more, Heeney. One for the road.
618
00:48:05,215 --> 00:48:06,739
Hello, Charlie.
619
00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:13,617
Mark. I thought you were still down
at the Bowery.
620
00:48:15,692 --> 00:48:18,024
I hear you got a story, Charlie.
621
00:48:18,195 --> 00:48:20,060
Where'd you hear that?
622
00:48:20,597 --> 00:48:25,364
- Isn't that what you told McCleary?
- Why, I was just schmoozing him, I...
623
00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:28,295
Lining him up for a little touch.
624
00:48:28,372 --> 00:48:31,432
I gave you some money.
What did you do with it?
625
00:48:31,775 --> 00:48:33,333
You didn't, by any chance,
find a pawn ticket
626
00:48:33,410 --> 00:48:36,379
- mixed in with the money, did you, Charlie?
- Pawn ticket? Why, I...
627
00:48:36,446 --> 00:48:40,177
Did you use the money
to get the story out of hock, Charlie?
628
00:48:41,218 --> 00:48:44,585
You've got something that belongs to me.
Where is it?
629
00:48:45,389 --> 00:48:47,220
You were on the way to the <i>Leader</i>
with some evidence.
630
00:48:47,291 --> 00:48:49,725
Where is it, Charlie? Where is it?
631
00:49:01,905 --> 00:49:04,738
It's a wonderful story, isn't it, Charlie?
632
00:49:05,509 --> 00:49:07,909
You wanted to be a big man, Mark.
633
00:49:08,745 --> 00:49:12,476
This will make you famous
beyond your most ambitious dreams.
634
00:49:13,884 --> 00:49:18,412
Great story?
I've waited all my life for a story like this.
635
00:49:19,456 --> 00:49:23,483
Well, you've got it, Charlie.
But you're not going to write it.
636
00:49:27,130 --> 00:49:30,622
You're crazy, Mark.
Twenty years you've covered the news.
637
00:49:30,701 --> 00:49:33,761
Seen the bright boys try this. It never works.
638
00:49:56,493 --> 00:49:59,587
We just heard about Charlie Barnes.
Rotten deal.
639
00:50:00,163 --> 00:50:04,293
It's hard when it's someone like Charlie
you've known for 22 years.
640
00:50:04,401 --> 00:50:06,164
I knew him 25 years.
641
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:10,167
I never expected to see him
laying on a slab in this place.
642
00:50:10,507 --> 00:50:15,001
Is that right, Doc? Was he found
in an alleyway across from the <i>Daily Leader?</i>
643
00:50:15,078 --> 00:50:17,205
- Steve...
- Yes, that's right.
644
00:50:17,447 --> 00:50:20,439
The <i>Daily Leader.</i> He had a story!
645
00:50:20,517 --> 00:50:23,509
But he was taking your clever,
insolent, fresh-guy advice
646
00:50:23,587 --> 00:50:27,216
- and giving it to the <i>Leader!</i>
- He was drunk, Julie. How could I know...
647
00:50:27,290 --> 00:50:29,656
Charlie Barnes never got so drunk
he didn't know a story!
648
00:50:29,726 --> 00:50:33,492
Or that he'd try to peddle
a phony tip to a newspaper! But you...
649
00:50:33,563 --> 00:50:35,394
You couldn't bother listening to him!
650
00:50:35,465 --> 00:50:38,798
You and that newsprint hero of yours,
Mark Chapman.
651
00:50:39,269 --> 00:50:41,032
You couldn't expect us to believe
that Charlie Barnes
652
00:50:41,104 --> 00:50:43,129
had any real information
on the murder, Julie.
653
00:50:43,206 --> 00:50:45,231
We still don't know that he did.
654
00:50:45,308 --> 00:50:49,711
If you and that stone-hearted, glory seeking,
"I am the great Mark Chapman"
655
00:50:49,780 --> 00:50:51,771
had thrown Charlie
the miserable crumb of respect
656
00:50:51,848 --> 00:50:54,510
of just listening to him, he'd be alive today!
657
00:50:54,584 --> 00:50:58,748
Julie, maybe you're right.
Maybe it is partly my fault Charlie's dead.
658
00:50:58,822 --> 00:51:01,882
I'm sorry. Really sorry. But what can I do?
659
00:51:02,392 --> 00:51:06,123
Don't go soft! Show Chapman
you're a chip off the old block.
660
00:51:06,596 --> 00:51:08,655
Have him give Charlie a fancy funeral.
661
00:51:08,732 --> 00:51:11,997
Great headline.
"The <i>Express</i> buries its cast-offs."
662
00:51:12,436 --> 00:51:14,097
It'll sell papers!
663
00:51:27,350 --> 00:51:31,912
Kenny, rewrite that one paragraph, will you?
Allison had a bad night. Yeah.
664
00:51:32,289 --> 00:51:35,087
I just got yesterday's figures
from circulation, Mark.
665
00:51:35,158 --> 00:51:38,491
Six hundred and ninety-six thousand.
You're moving up there.
666
00:51:38,562 --> 00:51:41,292
Looks as though it's going to cost
the <i>Express</i> some bonus money before long.
667
00:51:41,364 --> 00:51:44,765
Quicker than you can say,
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Stockholder Rawley!"
668
00:51:44,835 --> 00:51:46,666
We're only starting,
Mr. Madison, only starting.
669
00:51:46,736 --> 00:51:48,260
That's the spirit!
670
00:51:48,338 --> 00:51:50,272
When you get to the editor's chair,
remember one thing.
671
00:51:50,340 --> 00:51:54,743
You're a hero with a lifetime job,
as long as the circulation is rising.
672
00:51:55,045 --> 00:51:59,379
- What have you got there?
- Something that will keep circulation rising.
673
00:51:59,716 --> 00:52:01,581
Charlie Barnes' story.
674
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:04,378
What are you talking about?
675
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:06,820
Charlie wasn't near the <i>Daily Leader</i>
by accident, Mark.
676
00:52:06,890 --> 00:52:08,790
He had something to print.
677
00:52:08,859 --> 00:52:11,419
I couldn't find it in his effects
at the morgue this morning,
678
00:52:11,495 --> 00:52:15,932
but I found it at Heeney's bar,
the joint Charlie phoned from last night.
679
00:52:16,233 --> 00:52:19,134
Half a pawnshop ticket was still on the bag.
680
00:52:19,236 --> 00:52:21,431
Pete's Hock Shop. I checked it.
681
00:52:21,505 --> 00:52:24,838
Charlie came in the pawnshop last night
with a claim check.
682
00:52:24,908 --> 00:52:27,536
Said he was unhocking it for a friend.
683
00:52:28,478 --> 00:52:31,743
Well, what's in the bag?
Miss Lonely Heart's name and address?
684
00:52:32,916 --> 00:52:36,477
Better than that, Mark.
Much better than that.
685
00:52:38,054 --> 00:52:40,579
A picture of the guy who killed her.
686
00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:52,362
A picture?
You can't even see the guy's face!
687
00:52:52,435 --> 00:52:54,596
What's the matter, Mark?
This is the first real lead we've got.
688
00:52:54,671 --> 00:52:56,263
The way you talked,
I thought we had it all sewed up.
689
00:52:56,339 --> 00:52:59,604
Sure, it's a lead, but it's a thin one.
How much does this give us?
690
00:52:59,676 --> 00:53:04,773
Well, we're certain the dame had a husband.
They were married in 1931 in Connecticut.
691
00:53:05,248 --> 00:53:09,048
- The husband's the guy who killed her.
- How do you make that?
692
00:53:09,419 --> 00:53:11,580
The ring mark on her finger
must have been a wedding ring.
693
00:53:11,655 --> 00:53:14,055
The inscription inside
could have identified him.
694
00:53:14,124 --> 00:53:16,388
And he grabbed the pawn ticket
figuring she'd hocked some belongings
695
00:53:16,459 --> 00:53:18,893
- that might peg him.
- Makes sense.
696
00:53:19,396 --> 00:53:22,194
Charlie got the pawn ticket from the killer.
697
00:53:22,265 --> 00:53:25,701
He must have been with him sometime,
someplace, yesterday.
698
00:53:25,769 --> 00:53:28,329
A lot of people
could have seen them together, right?
699
00:53:28,405 --> 00:53:29,770
Could have.
700
00:53:31,141 --> 00:53:33,609
Splash this picture
on the front page tonight.
701
00:53:33,677 --> 00:53:35,975
Offer a reward for information.
702
00:53:39,149 --> 00:53:41,674
"Lonely Heart Killer strikes again."
703
00:53:43,153 --> 00:53:45,246
When you write the story,
say that Barnes was working on this case
704
00:53:45,322 --> 00:53:46,346
undercover for the <i>Express.</i>
705
00:53:46,423 --> 00:53:49,620
He got too close to the killer
and died in the line of duty.
706
00:53:49,693 --> 00:53:50,887
Mark, I don't know, it...
707
00:53:50,961 --> 00:53:54,863
Nobody can deny it. It'll help sell papers.
We'll offer $1,000.
708
00:53:55,232 --> 00:53:58,360
Look, kid, don't pin your hopes
on anybody being able
709
00:53:58,435 --> 00:54:02,030
to spot the guy from this.
Unless they got x-ray eyes.
710
00:54:02,339 --> 00:54:04,034
I'm sure Charlie connected
the guy in the picture
711
00:54:04,107 --> 00:54:08,601
with the bird who gave him the pawn ticket.
I'm going to fine-tooth the Bowery myself.
712
00:54:08,678 --> 00:54:11,374
It's even money
that's where Charlie ran into our man.
713
00:54:11,448 --> 00:54:12,972
Good luck, kid.
714
00:54:44,314 --> 00:54:47,875
- Well, I got them for you, McCleary.
- Good work, Heeney.
715
00:55:05,368 --> 00:55:09,634
Well, this does it. I'll never touch
another drop the rest of my life.
716
00:55:17,547 --> 00:55:19,515
'Course some of them
been sucking on the bottle all night,
717
00:55:19,582 --> 00:55:21,516
but they can still stand up.
718
00:55:21,584 --> 00:55:24,747
- They all knew Charlie?
- Yeah, they all knew him.
719
00:55:25,088 --> 00:55:29,081
If you give McCleary here
any bum information, I'll brain you.
720
00:55:29,793 --> 00:55:31,818
And I might even do worse.
721
00:55:31,961 --> 00:55:35,522
No more free shots
when you're seeing little red spiders.
722
00:55:35,999 --> 00:55:40,095
How many of you boys saw Charlie Barnes
the day he was killed? Raise your hands.
723
00:55:40,170 --> 00:55:44,197
All right, raise your mitts,
them that seen Charlie day before yesterday.
724
00:55:44,274 --> 00:55:45,366
Good.
725
00:55:48,478 --> 00:55:50,446
- Where did you see him?
- See who?
726
00:55:50,513 --> 00:55:54,279
- This guy must be used to talking to mirrors.
- Charlie Barnes.
727
00:55:54,351 --> 00:55:58,253
I seen him come out of a joint
where he flopped in the morning.
728
00:56:00,824 --> 00:56:02,815
You, where'd you see him?
729
00:56:03,460 --> 00:56:05,826
- Humpty O'Dougal's saloon.
- What time?
730
00:56:05,895 --> 00:56:10,389
In the afternoon. Late in the afternoon.
Charlie had a nice little bun on.
731
00:56:10,934 --> 00:56:11,992
Was he with anybody?
732
00:56:12,068 --> 00:56:14,036
With anybody?
Sure, he was with somebody.
733
00:56:14,104 --> 00:56:16,834
Charlie never drank by himself
if he had a little cash on him.
734
00:56:16,906 --> 00:56:19,966
- Well, do you know the guy he was with?
- Certainly I know who he was with.
735
00:56:20,043 --> 00:56:23,206
- Well, who was it?
- Me. He sprung me three slugs.
736
00:56:29,686 --> 00:56:32,678
When did you see him?
When did you see him?
737
00:56:36,159 --> 00:56:38,491
- This morning.
- Throw him out of here.
738
00:56:38,561 --> 00:56:41,086
- Wait a minute!
- What are you talking about?
739
00:56:41,164 --> 00:56:44,691
- Now, is there any more jokers in the crowd?
- I seen him.
740
00:56:45,735 --> 00:56:49,136
Yeah? Well, go on. Where'd you see him?
741
00:56:51,074 --> 00:56:53,770
On the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
742
00:56:53,843 --> 00:56:57,472
- Go on, go on.
- Nothing. He was working a sucker.
743
00:56:58,014 --> 00:57:01,177
- Giving him the pally act, that's all.
- Now think hard.
744
00:57:01,251 --> 00:57:04,243
Do you remember the sucker?
Do you remember what he looks like?
745
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,754
- Maybe.
- What do you mean, "Maybe"?
746
00:57:06,890 --> 00:57:10,826
- Maybe for 50 bucks.
- Why you...
747
00:57:11,995 --> 00:57:15,362
Do you think you could remember
for 1,000 bucks?
748
00:57:17,267 --> 00:57:19,258
Who could tell who he is?
749
00:57:19,469 --> 00:57:22,461
Can you describe
the man you saw Charlie with?
750
00:57:22,906 --> 00:57:26,273
Do I get $1,000 if I do?
751
00:57:26,443 --> 00:57:28,968
You do. If and when we find the guy.
752
00:57:29,379 --> 00:57:32,212
- Sure, I can describe him.
- Well, go ahead.
753
00:57:34,918 --> 00:57:37,819
- You paying the reward?
- No, but my boss is.
754
00:57:38,655 --> 00:57:41,647
- Then I'll describe it to him.
- Okay. Come on.
755
00:57:41,791 --> 00:57:44,385
Rush this over to the composing room.
756
00:57:44,761 --> 00:57:48,492
Kenny, see if you can figure out
a heading for that rubbish.
757
00:57:48,698 --> 00:57:50,723
Connie! Connie, take this.
758
00:57:58,475 --> 00:57:59,806
Wait here.
759
00:58:13,623 --> 00:58:15,318
Look, Lieutenant,
just refer the captain to me.
760
00:58:15,391 --> 00:58:18,189
I'll tell him he's cropping at the best
homicide man he ever had on the force.
761
00:58:18,261 --> 00:58:20,491
If he doesn't know that,
he's deaf, dumb and blind.
762
00:58:20,563 --> 00:58:22,861
Yeah, never mind the malarkey, Chapman!
763
00:58:22,932 --> 00:58:24,900
The next time
you people pull a stunt like this,
764
00:58:24,968 --> 00:58:27,596
I'll throw both you and McCleary in the can!
765
00:58:28,271 --> 00:58:31,832
Okay, Lieutenant, okay.
I give you my word. Goodbye, pal.
766
00:58:33,042 --> 00:58:35,340
Davis is screaming because we gave him
the suitcase only a half hour
767
00:58:35,411 --> 00:58:36,878
before he read it in the <i>Express.</i>
768
00:58:36,946 --> 00:58:39,437
Well, I've got something
that ought to make him happy again.
769
00:58:39,516 --> 00:58:40,744
Not another suitcase?
770
00:58:40,817 --> 00:58:44,776
A guy who can identify the man
Charlie got the pawn ticket from.
771
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:51,384
Hey, Bailey. Come in here.
772
00:59:00,103 --> 00:59:03,561
He wouldn't describe the guy to me.
He needed the boss.
773
00:59:06,643 --> 00:59:08,304
You the boss?
774
00:59:09,379 --> 00:59:13,611
Yeah, and don't waste my time.
Where'd you see this guy with Charlie?
775
00:59:15,818 --> 00:59:18,446
Down the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
776
00:59:19,956 --> 00:59:22,151
You say you can describe him?
777
00:59:41,844 --> 00:59:44,335
Well, go on. What did he look like?
778
00:59:54,057 --> 00:59:55,786
Stand up, will you?
779
01:00:04,467 --> 01:00:07,766
Yeah, just how I figured.
780
01:00:08,805 --> 01:00:10,432
You figured what?
781
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,272
He was your size,
782
01:00:17,313 --> 01:00:18,678
your build.
783
01:00:19,115 --> 01:00:21,345
Could have been as old as you.
784
01:00:21,951 --> 01:00:26,217
- Is that all?
- All you asked me was to describe him.
785
01:00:26,723 --> 01:00:30,625
That was no description!
That could fit a million guys in this town.
786
01:00:30,693 --> 01:00:34,060
- Even me.
- Well, how about the reward?
787
01:00:34,130 --> 01:00:38,123
Here, take this down to the cashier
and pick yourself up five bucks.
788
01:00:38,201 --> 01:00:41,261
- Show him where it is, Steve.
- Come on, Bailey.
789
01:01:30,186 --> 01:01:31,517
Hey, Baxter, where's Julie?
790
01:01:31,587 --> 01:01:34,078
She came in this morning,
banged this out on her typewriter,
791
01:01:34,157 --> 01:01:36,216
and told me to give it to Chapman.
792
01:01:36,292 --> 01:01:38,385
- What is it?
- Her resignation.
793
01:01:38,461 --> 01:01:42,261
I figured I'd hang onto it a day or so.
Maybe she'd cool off.
794
01:01:42,632 --> 01:01:46,261
I'm sure glad you did.
I'll take care of it for you, okay?
795
01:01:49,238 --> 01:01:50,762
Baxter, thanks.
796
01:02:00,883 --> 01:02:03,647
- Hello, Mrs. Allison.
- Well, hello, Steve. Come in.
797
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,051
Thank you.
798
01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:14,458
I have a pot of coffee in the kitchen.
I'd better see to it.
799
01:02:14,664 --> 01:02:16,564
Can I say a few words to you?
800
01:02:16,632 --> 01:02:19,533
Without getting hit with a table
or something?
801
01:02:19,602 --> 01:02:22,230
Speak your piece and get it over with.
802
01:02:22,338 --> 01:02:25,535
I just got rocked
with a bad piece of news, Julie.
803
01:02:25,742 --> 01:02:28,040
I heard about your resignation.
804
01:02:28,444 --> 01:02:31,845
Well, I can't imagine
why you'd shed any tears over it.
805
01:02:31,914 --> 01:02:33,211
Well, for what it's worth,
806
01:02:33,282 --> 01:02:36,308
your resigning knocks the props
out of a lot of things for me.
807
01:02:37,754 --> 01:02:40,655
That couldn't have come
from Steve McCleary.
808
01:02:41,791 --> 01:02:44,851
Okay, pass it. But I didn't figure
your burn at Chapman and me
809
01:02:44,927 --> 01:02:48,454
would be bigger than your wanting
to do something about Charlie's murder.
810
01:02:49,632 --> 01:02:52,829
Don't start playing me
for a hollow-headed female now, Steve.
811
01:02:52,902 --> 01:02:55,871
Your only interest, and Chapman's,
in Charlie's death is exploiting it
812
01:02:55,938 --> 01:02:59,601
- for all the circulation jumping it's worth!
- Julie, I'm not digging on a story now
813
01:02:59,675 --> 01:03:03,577
just for the school-boy bang of seeing
my name over a sensational yarn.
814
01:03:03,646 --> 01:03:06,672
Yeah, that's right, I had to get hit pretty hard
before I smartened up.
815
01:03:06,749 --> 01:03:09,309
But now I'm leveling
on the Charlie Barnes business.
816
01:03:13,422 --> 01:03:18,257
Well, if I can believe what I'm hearing,
this certainly is a different McCleary.
817
01:03:19,328 --> 01:03:20,955
I've been working night and day.
818
01:03:21,030 --> 01:03:24,227
All I've done is run the local leads
to a dead end.
819
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:29,294
There's only one gimmick left to follow.
This picture, the marriage in Connecticut.
820
01:03:29,472 --> 01:03:33,067
It's odd the person who married them
hasn't recognized it.
821
01:03:33,142 --> 01:03:36,077
Unless he's dead or hasn't seen the picture.
822
01:03:36,579 --> 01:03:40,310
Yeah, I thought of that angle, too.
But it's a million-to-one shot.
823
01:03:40,383 --> 01:03:43,716
A guy would have to be an elephant
to remember a face after 21 years.
824
01:03:44,787 --> 01:03:48,314
Tell him about the elephant we met
on Fifth Avenue, about four years ago.
825
01:03:48,391 --> 01:03:50,791
We were walking along the street when,
right out of the blue,
826
01:03:50,860 --> 01:03:53,021
a complete stranger stopped me.
827
01:03:53,095 --> 01:03:56,656
It turned out to be the little preacher
who married Julie's father and me
828
01:03:56,732 --> 01:03:59,724
in Portland, Maine, 23 years before!
829
01:04:01,404 --> 01:04:06,603
- And he actually was able to recognize you?
- And I'd put on a little weight since then.
830
01:04:07,210 --> 01:04:10,270
They say a New Englander
seldom forgets a face.
831
01:04:10,980 --> 01:04:13,813
Crazy odds, but what can we lose?
832
01:04:15,051 --> 01:04:16,416
Yeah, get this picture
833
01:04:16,485 --> 01:04:19,750
to every churchman, judge
and justice of the peace in Connecticut.
834
01:04:19,822 --> 01:04:24,259
- It's certainly worth trying.
- It's a big job. Compiling lists,
835
01:04:24,527 --> 01:04:26,620
- checking out leads.
- It can be done.
836
01:04:26,696 --> 01:04:28,687
The two of us could handle it, Julie.
837
01:04:29,732 --> 01:04:32,667
Well, I'd like to, Steve, but I've resigned.
838
01:04:32,735 --> 01:04:36,637
And I'd sooner drop dead
than ask Mark Chapman for my job back.
839
01:04:43,312 --> 01:04:45,803
- You dog!
- It never got past Baxter.
840
01:04:46,883 --> 01:04:48,908
A list of churches in each town
is no problem.
841
01:04:48,985 --> 01:04:52,318
The judges and JPs we can get
from the state legal directory in Hartford.
842
01:04:52,388 --> 01:04:54,720
Yeah, you start packing.
Enough for a couple of weeks.
843
01:04:54,790 --> 01:04:56,451
I'm going to the office
and get the lab boys started
844
01:04:56,525 --> 01:04:57,787
on knocking out a few hundred circulars.
845
01:04:57,860 --> 01:05:00,260
But suppose Chapman says no
to my working with you on it?
846
01:05:00,329 --> 01:05:03,492
Why should he? Anyway, I'm not going
to tell him anything until we're ready to go.
847
01:05:03,566 --> 01:05:04,658
Tonight sometime.
848
01:05:04,734 --> 01:05:08,898
Mom, you think it's safe for me to travel
out of state at night with this young man?
849
01:05:08,971 --> 01:05:12,702
Just so he doesn't misconstrue
the meaning of "freedom of the press."
850
01:05:12,775 --> 01:05:16,336
Hey, you wonderful woman.
I'll check with you for dinner.
851
01:05:21,417 --> 01:05:23,544
Steve, this is shot-in-the-dark stuff.
852
01:05:23,619 --> 01:05:26,452
Mark, more rabbit-brained ideas than this
have paid off.
853
01:05:26,522 --> 01:05:28,956
Your hottest lead is right here in town
where the murders were committed.
854
01:05:29,025 --> 01:05:32,290
Yeah, our hottest lead was in town,
but it dried up like a puddle in July.
855
01:05:32,361 --> 01:05:33,589
You're looking for a mental marvel,
856
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:36,154
a guy who can recognize somebody
he'd seen for 15 or 20 minutes
857
01:05:36,232 --> 01:05:38,757
at a wedding ceremony
he performed 21 years ago.
858
01:05:38,834 --> 01:05:41,394
How do we know he only saw them
for 15 or 20 minutes?
859
01:05:41,470 --> 01:05:44,200
Maybe they were members of his church
or were married by a judge
860
01:05:44,273 --> 01:05:46,298
or a justice in their own town.
861
01:05:46,375 --> 01:05:48,605
Steve, you're off
on a needle-in-a-haystack hunt.
862
01:05:48,678 --> 01:05:51,078
You can find a needle in a haystack
if you look long enough.
863
01:05:51,147 --> 01:05:53,775
You don't think I'm gonna let you
hang around up there indefinitely, do you?
864
01:05:53,849 --> 01:05:55,680
You won't have to. A week, probably.
865
01:05:55,751 --> 01:05:58,982
Julie Allison's coming along to help me.
It's all arranged.
866
01:05:59,055 --> 01:06:02,456
It's all arranged. And that five grand reward.
You arranged that, too?
867
01:06:02,525 --> 01:06:06,586
No, you did, or will.
Mark, what's eating you?
868
01:06:07,096 --> 01:06:09,257
I'm only checking out every possible angle.
869
01:06:09,332 --> 01:06:11,061
Kid, I don't want you to beat your brains out.
870
01:06:11,133 --> 01:06:13,033
We can get just so much
out of this Lonely Hearts story,
871
01:06:13,102 --> 01:06:16,128
and then we'll start easing it off
and let it die a natural death.
872
01:06:16,205 --> 01:06:19,368
Let it die? Mark, we let Charlie Barnes die!
873
01:06:20,509 --> 01:06:22,909
The least we can do now is to find his killer.
874
01:06:23,679 --> 01:06:26,443
You're the guy who pounded into me,
"Never give up till you've got the story."
875
01:06:26,515 --> 01:06:28,449
Well, I'm not quitting on this one
until I've licked it.
876
01:06:28,517 --> 01:06:30,985
You can reach me
at the Lenox Hotel in Hartford.
877
01:06:56,579 --> 01:06:57,978
Long distance.
878
01:06:58,047 --> 01:06:59,844
I want some information.
879
01:06:59,915 --> 01:07:01,906
A telephone number
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
880
01:07:01,984 --> 01:07:05,181
The name is Hacker. He's a judge.
I don't remember his first name.
881
01:07:05,254 --> 01:07:07,222
You wish to place a call to this party?
882
01:07:07,289 --> 01:07:10,383
No, no. Not yet, that is.
I just want to get his telephone number.
883
01:07:10,459 --> 01:07:12,188
<i>One moment, please.</i>
884
01:07:16,799 --> 01:07:20,235
Hello? The Middlebury operator
has no listing for anyone by that name.
885
01:07:21,037 --> 01:07:22,436
There isn't?
886
01:07:23,305 --> 01:07:25,296
Middlebury's a small town.
Will you ask the operator
887
01:07:25,374 --> 01:07:26,966
if she knows anything
about Judge Hacker at all?
888
01:07:27,043 --> 01:07:29,273
Is he deceased, moved away, or what?
889
01:07:29,345 --> 01:07:31,074
<i>One moment, please.</i>
890
01:07:35,518 --> 01:07:38,510
Hello? The local operator
has been in Middlebury for five years
891
01:07:38,587 --> 01:07:40,646
and knows no one
by the name of Judge Hacker.
892
01:07:40,723 --> 01:07:42,384
That's all the information she can give us.
893
01:07:43,959 --> 01:07:45,153
Thanks.
894
01:08:32,908 --> 01:08:35,308
No, Reverend,
I'm afraid that's not our couple.
895
01:08:36,412 --> 01:08:39,040
You may be positive, Reverend,
but you're mistaken.
896
01:08:39,115 --> 01:08:41,515
The woman in the photo we sent you
is dead.
897
01:08:41,584 --> 01:08:43,916
Thank you for calling, Reverend.
898
01:08:46,288 --> 01:08:48,153
You don't have to tell me.
899
01:08:48,224 --> 01:08:50,852
It's written all over
your bright and shining face.
900
01:08:50,926 --> 01:08:53,759
A 190-mile drive
to have a whack-head tell me
901
01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:56,423
that both the people in our circular
died a year ago.
902
01:08:57,766 --> 01:09:01,896
New Englanders remember, all right.
Every face is familiar to them.
903
01:09:04,406 --> 01:09:07,671
Hello? Just a minute, here's Steve.
904
01:09:08,110 --> 01:09:10,340
It's that man again. Every day.
905
01:09:10,412 --> 01:09:13,313
Does he think we'll keep it a big fat secret
if we find something?
906
01:09:15,284 --> 01:09:16,649
Yeah, Mark.
907
01:09:18,487 --> 01:09:20,819
Nothing but an aching back
and some interesting meetings
908
01:09:20,890 --> 01:09:22,824
with jelly-brained screwballs.
909
01:09:22,892 --> 01:09:26,555
You've had enough time, Steve. Ten days.
Admit it's a dud. Come on home.
910
01:09:26,629 --> 01:09:29,325
Two more days, Mark.
We'll stick it out to the end of the week.
911
01:09:29,899 --> 01:09:33,391
Get out of the haystack. It's easier
to find the needles at the scene of the crime.
912
01:09:33,469 --> 01:09:34,936
I'll see you.
913
01:09:35,771 --> 01:09:39,832
Two more days. I don't even know myself
why we're sticking around.
914
01:09:41,043 --> 01:09:42,772
Anything there that sounds good?
915
01:09:44,180 --> 01:09:47,946
I'll read you a fair sample.
From a J.P. Waterbury.
916
01:09:49,084 --> 01:09:52,451
"Send me $5,000
and I will tell you names of people."
917
01:09:52,655 --> 01:09:54,646
A new head I'll send him.
918
01:09:55,658 --> 01:09:58,320
I've got a headache.
I think I'll lie down for a while.
919
01:09:59,728 --> 01:10:01,855
Why don't you lie down here?
920
01:10:07,269 --> 01:10:08,998
I'll go to my room.
921
01:10:15,344 --> 01:10:17,744
McCleary. Okay, put him on.
922
01:10:18,681 --> 01:10:20,808
A guy calling from Franklin.
923
01:10:21,283 --> 01:10:23,308
Hello? Yeah, that's right.
924
01:10:25,955 --> 01:10:27,149
You do, huh?
925
01:10:29,258 --> 01:10:31,590
- You've got what?
- What is it?
926
01:10:31,827 --> 01:10:35,456
- Just a minute.
- I have the other picture right before me!
927
01:10:35,864 --> 01:10:41,131
Yes, I married them July 19th, 1931,
over in Middlebury.
928
01:10:42,438 --> 01:10:44,702
A funny thing. What's that?
929
01:10:48,143 --> 01:10:49,872
Judge Elroy Hacker.
930
01:10:50,379 --> 01:10:52,404
We'll be there in two hours, Judge.
931
01:10:52,481 --> 01:10:54,244
Sit tight
and keep your mouth shut about this.
932
01:10:54,316 --> 01:10:55,374
Bye.
933
01:10:55,584 --> 01:10:59,247
Go on, get packed.
He's liable to drop dead on us or something.
934
01:11:55,110 --> 01:11:58,102
For a man who can sit there
and watch his success increasing daily,
935
01:11:58,180 --> 01:12:00,011
you're looking much too troubled, Mark.
936
01:12:00,082 --> 01:12:03,210
It's just that these minor problems
always seem to require major thinking.
937
01:12:03,285 --> 01:12:06,379
Well, perhaps we can balance
the unpleasant with the pleasant.
938
01:12:06,455 --> 01:12:09,390
That conversation we had the other day
about your buying company stock.
939
01:12:09,458 --> 01:12:10,823
- Yeah?
- I just thought I'd tell you,
940
01:12:10,893 --> 01:12:14,920
- I think we can swing that.
- That's fine, Mr. Madison, just great.
941
01:12:14,997 --> 01:12:17,659
Well, there doesn't seem to be any doubt
you'll reach that bonus figure.
942
01:12:17,733 --> 01:12:19,064
It'll be pleasant having you as a partner,
943
01:12:19,134 --> 01:12:20,863
- so to speak, in the paper, Mark.
- Thanks.
944
01:12:20,936 --> 01:12:22,801
- Good night.
- Good night.
945
01:14:17,953 --> 01:14:19,147
Sorry to keep you this late, Mark,
946
01:14:19,221 --> 01:14:21,621
but we got hit with a mess of traffic
on the way in.
947
01:14:21,690 --> 01:14:23,157
Your wire sounded important.
948
01:14:23,225 --> 01:14:26,456
I found that needle,
or rather the man with the needle.
949
01:14:26,528 --> 01:14:29,725
Judge Elroy Hacker,
Mark Chapman, Managing Editor.
950
01:14:29,865 --> 01:14:32,925
- Glad to meet you, Judge.
- How do, Mr. Chapman?
951
01:14:33,902 --> 01:14:35,893
- Sit down, Judge.
- Thanks.
952
01:14:36,772 --> 01:14:38,672
Does the judge's needle sew anything up?
953
01:14:38,740 --> 01:14:41,231
Everything but knotting the thread
at the end.
954
01:14:41,310 --> 01:14:42,937
I mean the noose.
955
01:14:44,046 --> 01:14:45,240
What have you got?
956
01:14:45,314 --> 01:14:48,511
The identity of Mrs. Lonely Heart
and her husband.
957
01:14:49,117 --> 01:14:51,711
Judge Hacker married them
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
958
01:14:51,787 --> 01:14:54,688
Their names are Charlotte and George Grant.
959
01:14:58,827 --> 01:14:59,953
Did you get that, Mark?
960
01:15:00,028 --> 01:15:03,327
The name of the Lonely Heart Killer
is George Grant.
961
01:15:03,699 --> 01:15:05,530
Yeah, I heard you. Go on.
962
01:15:05,601 --> 01:15:08,229
Strike two. The judge is sure
he can identify George Grant
963
01:15:08,303 --> 01:15:10,203
when he sees him again.
964
01:15:10,806 --> 01:15:13,969
You see, I took this picture myself.
965
01:15:14,710 --> 01:15:17,338
A little extra service
the judge gave his bridal couples.
966
01:15:17,412 --> 01:15:20,711
Yes. I'd send them a print
and put one in my own scrapbook.
967
01:15:20,782 --> 01:15:22,579
The judge even furnished
the "just married" sign.
968
01:15:22,651 --> 01:15:24,118
Judge, you said
you married them in Middlebury,
969
01:15:24,186 --> 01:15:27,883
- but Steve found you in Franklin.
- I retired seven years ago.
970
01:15:27,956 --> 01:15:31,323
I'm partial to fishing,
so I moved over on the coast.
971
01:15:32,027 --> 01:15:34,928
I only happened
to see your circular by chance,
972
01:15:34,997 --> 01:15:37,830
in the office of a justice friend of mine.
973
01:15:40,602 --> 01:15:43,571
I always said you were born
in a field of shamrocks.
974
01:15:43,639 --> 01:15:47,769
Sure. The McClearys raised their kids
on nothing but rabbits' feet.
975
01:15:48,410 --> 01:15:52,471
Judge, what makes you so sure
you can identify George Grant today?
976
01:15:54,383 --> 01:15:57,250
Well, mainly because right after
I took that wedding picture,
977
01:15:57,319 --> 01:16:00,482
this Grant got vexed at his wife
about something.
978
01:16:01,590 --> 01:16:05,651
I can remember his voice, snapping at her.
His face getting red...
979
01:16:07,696 --> 01:16:11,598
I know what's in your bonnet, Mark.
We still have to find George Grant.
980
01:16:11,667 --> 01:16:14,363
A needle's nothing but a hunk of steel
if you've got nothing to sew.
981
01:16:14,436 --> 01:16:15,801
We just need the thread.
982
01:16:15,871 --> 01:16:18,203
I figure we'll pick that up
right here in New York.
983
01:16:18,273 --> 01:16:21,367
When the police line up all the local
George Grants for the judge to look over.
984
01:16:23,745 --> 01:16:27,416
That's Julie. I dropped her off
at headquarters to tell Davis what we've got.
985
01:16:29,251 --> 01:16:32,618
Friend Davis is steaming
like a pressure cooker, as I said he would.
986
01:16:32,688 --> 01:16:33,746
He'll simmer down.
987
01:16:33,822 --> 01:16:36,484
So will your
lining up the George Grants idea.
988
01:16:36,558 --> 01:16:40,255
Davis says he'll do nothing until you turn
Judge Hacker over to the police.
989
01:16:40,329 --> 01:16:42,763
- Steve, you can't hold...
- Relax, doll. He'll see the judge later.
990
01:16:42,831 --> 01:16:44,924
Not tonight he won't.
The judge is our exclusive beat.
991
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,230
Nobody gets to him
till our story breaks tomorrow.
992
01:16:47,302 --> 01:16:49,031
I don't trust cops.
993
01:16:51,607 --> 01:16:52,904
You and Julie start writing the story.
994
01:16:52,975 --> 01:16:56,308
I'll put the judge in a side-street hotel
where nobody will get to him.
995
01:16:56,378 --> 01:16:57,902
Come on, Judge.
996
01:17:01,316 --> 01:17:03,648
I'll just wait for Mr. McCleary.
997
01:17:04,987 --> 01:17:06,921
He was going to put me up at his place.
998
01:17:06,989 --> 01:17:08,581
That's the first place
the wolves will start baying.
999
01:17:08,657 --> 01:17:10,921
You better come with me, Judge.
1000
01:17:10,993 --> 01:17:15,157
No, I don't think it would be wise
for me to go with you, Mr. Grant.
1001
01:17:15,731 --> 01:17:18,325
- Mister...
- Chapman, Judge. Not Grant.
1002
01:17:18,734 --> 01:17:21,294
You'd better give your brain a rest.
You're gonna need it.
1003
01:17:21,370 --> 01:17:22,735
He may be Chapman now,
1004
01:17:22,804 --> 01:17:27,104
but 21 years ago, when I married them,
he was George Grant.
1005
01:17:27,509 --> 01:17:29,534
And he was a newspaperman.
1006
01:17:30,379 --> 01:17:34,145
I remember now. He said he worked
on the paper over in Waterford.
1007
01:17:34,216 --> 01:17:37,549
Waterford, Connecticut, was that town
I couldn't think of.
1008
01:17:37,619 --> 01:17:40,110
But I knew I'd remember that voice.
1009
01:17:40,422 --> 01:17:44,586
His face... You've changed.
But it's the same man.
1010
01:17:45,060 --> 01:17:48,086
You remember that $5,000 reward, though,
don't you, Judge?
1011
01:17:48,163 --> 01:17:51,428
Judge. This is impossible.
You're getting confused.
1012
01:17:51,633 --> 01:17:54,864
He sounds to me as though
he knows exactly what he's saying.
1013
01:17:54,936 --> 01:17:57,837
This is idiotic!
Screwball, crackbrained lunacy!
1014
01:17:57,906 --> 01:18:01,364
And that's just the kind of a witness
the judge is going to make, too, Steve.
1015
01:18:01,443 --> 01:18:03,240
The police have that specimen
of hair and flesh
1016
01:18:03,311 --> 01:18:05,905
found under Mrs. Grant's fingernails.
1017
01:18:06,348 --> 01:18:09,283
I think we'd better get in touch with Davis.
1018
01:18:09,551 --> 01:18:11,212
No phone, Allison.
1019
01:18:21,797 --> 01:18:26,359
Julie pegged you right off.
But me, still wet behind the ears McCleary.
1020
01:18:27,235 --> 01:18:29,328
I went for the sleigh ride.
1021
01:18:29,971 --> 01:18:35,409
I practically built the pedestal for Chapman.
The great newspaperman. The great guy.
1022
01:18:36,778 --> 01:18:41,545
There ought to be a special Pulitzer Prize
for the world's biggest sucker, McCleary.
1023
01:18:41,616 --> 01:18:44,141
Just another one of your stupid slobs!
1024
01:18:44,219 --> 01:18:45,948
Things happen, Steve,
and then there's just no end.
1025
01:18:46,021 --> 01:18:47,921
Killing my wife was an accident.
1026
01:18:47,989 --> 01:18:51,823
And Charlie. Charlie Barnes,
who never hurt a fly in his life.
1027
01:18:52,294 --> 01:18:54,057
A washed-up drunken rummy
who had nothing to live for
1028
01:18:54,129 --> 01:18:55,790
against a career
that was just reaching its prime.
1029
01:18:55,864 --> 01:18:59,322
- It wasn't an even exchange.
- You've got a great career ahead of you now.
1030
01:18:59,401 --> 01:19:02,302
That's all down the drain.
I gotta to make different plans now.
1031
01:19:02,370 --> 01:19:04,736
You should have started running
when you got my wire, sucker!
1032
01:19:04,806 --> 01:19:06,501
I gambled.
The stakes are big enough, you don't run
1033
01:19:06,575 --> 01:19:10,443
unless there's nothing else left to do.
Don't try it, kid.
1034
01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:30,190
Steve!
1035
01:19:50,986 --> 01:19:53,011
We're just too close, kid.
1036
01:19:57,292 --> 01:20:02,059
I figured I'd find you birds here.
Still playing me for a pushover, aren't you?
1037
01:20:04,032 --> 01:20:06,227
Steve, you remember how I told you
1038
01:20:06,301 --> 01:20:09,464
that someday you'd run into
a really great story?
1039
01:20:09,905 --> 01:20:11,736
Well, this one ought to do it, huh?
1040
01:20:12,474 --> 01:20:14,374
Yeah, this one will do.
1041
01:20:14,976 --> 01:20:16,603
I'll give you the lead on it.
1042
01:20:17,846 --> 01:20:18,972
"The elusive Lonely Heart Killer,
1043
01:20:19,047 --> 01:20:20,708
"object of a nationwide search

1045

01:20:32,994 --> 01:20:35,827
"Managing Editor of the <i>New York Express."</i>
1049
01:20:37,766 --> 01:20:42,601
- Write it up big, kid. It'll sell a lot of papers.
- All right, drop it, Chapman.

Mark Chapman, editor of the New York Express, has made the newspaper a success by pursuing sensationalism and yellow journalism. His protégé is ace reporter Steve McCleary, while successful feature writer Julie Allison is frustrated by the paper's drift towards raking the muck. One night, during a lonely hearts dance organized by the Express, Chapman's estranged wife confronts him and demands that he visit her hotel room. It is revealed that Chapman's real name is George Grant, and he abandoned his wife decades earlier, changing his identity. When Chapman rebuffs her efforts toward reconciliation, she threatens to publicize his real identity. Chapman tries to restrain her, accidentally killing her in the scuffle.
Chapman attempts to cover up his crime, posing the scene to look like an accident. The police initially believe she slipped in the bathtub, but McCleary begins covering the case, and his reporting reveals it was a murder. McCleary is eager to run the story, and Chapman must acquiesce to avoid suspicion. The "mystery" murderer is dubbed the "Lonely Hearts Killer." Charlie Barnes, an alcoholic former star reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner, stumbles upon the dead woman's suitcase, in which he finds wedding photographs showing Chapman (then Grant) and his wife. He realizes that Chapman must be the killer. Barnes contacts Allison, who has been kind to him, attempting to give her the scoop, but Chapman overhears the conversation. He intercepts and kills Barnes before he can reveal the truth to a rival publication. This act only increases public interest in the story of the Lonely Hearts Killer, much to Chapman's frustration.
Assisted by Allison, McCleary continues to track down clues and leads. Eventually he locates another photo from Chapman/Grant's wedding, although the groom is shot in profile and it is not obvious that it is Chapman. McCleary and Allison travel to Connecticut to find the judge who married the murdered woman and the man in the photograph. After a week of searching, they identify the judge who conducted the marriage. They bring him back to the newspaper building, where he identifies Chapman as the groom and thus the Lonely Hearts Killer. McCleary is incredulous, but Allison puts the pieces together and the desperate Chapman pulls a gun on them. The police arrive, and Chapman cannot bring himself to shoot McCleary. Instead, he gives McCleary his blessing to publish all details of his crimes and then commits suicide by cop.

1
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,468
I know how you feel, lady.
2
00:01:52,545 --> 00:01:54,445
Just take your time
and tell me what happened.
3
00:01:54,514 --> 00:01:57,915
He had this meat ax, her blood all over it.
4
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:03,187
My brother-in-law had it.
Blood all over his hands, all over his shirt.
5
00:02:03,389 --> 00:02:05,687
I can't talk about it, Officer.
6
00:02:05,859 --> 00:02:08,851
I know it's rough, lady,
but I have to have the facts.
7
00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:14,298
He comes staggering out in the hall.
He says, "I did it. Call the cops."
8
00:02:15,101 --> 00:02:16,125
And then he...
9
00:02:16,202 --> 00:02:19,467
Snap it up, Captain.
Lieutenant Davis just blew in.
10
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,303
What's he going to do, Officer?
11
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:25,003
- I'm not a cop, lady.
- But you said...
12
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:27,610
All I said was,
"I had to ask you some questions."
13
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,079
I'm from the <i>Express.</i>
14
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:33,984
You made me go through all that.
Why, you're not decent! You're not human!
15
00:02:34,754 --> 00:02:38,121
- Sorry, lady. All part of the job.
- Well, well, Lieutenant Davis.
16
00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:42,252
- Say, this must have been a homicide.
- Hi, Lieutenant. Wait till you hear it.
17
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:45,092
- A messy one.
- You keep pulling stuff like this, McCleary,
18
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:50,193
and so help me, if it's the last thing I do,
I'll run you in! Now, that's a warning!
19
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:18,591
This is KL-75263. Get me Plaza-52099.
20
00:03:19,532 --> 00:03:24,401
You know, that wasn't a bad-Iooking dame.
Too bad the guy used an ax on her head.
21
00:03:25,271 --> 00:03:27,796
Spoiled some pretty pictures for me.
22
00:03:28,908 --> 00:03:31,877
Hey, Mark, have you put on the gloves
with those stockholders yet?
23
00:03:32,178 --> 00:03:34,203
Hi. No, I'm just taping up my hands.
24
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,976
<i>Well, you can tell them we got</i>
<i>another neat and gory one coming up.</i>
25
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:39,177
<i>Hatchet murder. Lower East Side tenement.</i>
26
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:41,652
<i>Wrapped up an exclusive interview</i>
<i>with an eyewitness.</i>
27
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:43,211
You got plenty of art?
28
00:03:43,289 --> 00:03:45,052
Yeah. Biddle grabbed all he could
of the body.
29
00:03:45,124 --> 00:03:49,185
A dame, very messy.
Got a great hysterical close-up of her sister.
30
00:03:49,529 --> 00:03:52,828
I'll even write the caption for you.
"I seen him with a bloody meat ax."
31
00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:54,592
Good. With that, I can sell papers.
32
00:03:54,667 --> 00:03:57,295
Give it to rewrite and we'll get it in the final.
Hold on. What do you want?
33
00:03:57,370 --> 00:04:00,237
Mr. Madison called down
from the boardroom again, Mr. Chapman.
34
00:04:00,306 --> 00:04:02,831
You hear that?
I'm letting them stew in their financial juices.
35
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:05,067
Well, don't overdo it. I like this job.
36
00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:08,273
You've never gone backwards
with me before, have you, kid?
37
00:04:08,348 --> 00:04:13,217
If we leave here, we'll bounce into
a bigger setup. I'll see you when you get in.
38
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:21,417
As one of the largest stockholders
in this corporation,
39
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:24,463
I would like to know
why the <i>New York Express,</i>
40
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:27,465
once a distinguished
and respected newspaper,
41
00:04:29,869 --> 00:04:33,600
has been allowed to become
a cheap and depraved publication.
42
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:38,835
Why has an editor been allowed
to turn a decent journal into this?
43
00:04:39,679 --> 00:04:41,613
A disgusting tabloid!
44
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,749
Pandering to the passions
of the base morons!
45
00:04:45,151 --> 00:04:47,847
I demand an explanation, Frank Madison.
46
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:54,750
Well, Mrs. Rawley, I...
In defense of Mark Chapman, I...
47
00:04:54,827 --> 00:04:58,263
Mr. Madison, I'd like to handle
my own defense, if you don't mind.
48
00:04:58,331 --> 00:04:59,855
Just as you say, Mark.
49
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:05,428
Mrs. Rawley, I think you
and the other stockholders should know
50
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:07,496
that your publisher hired me
as executive editor
51
00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:09,837
with full rights to transform this newspaper.
52
00:05:10,677 --> 00:05:14,443
He did this for a very simple reason.
He was fed up with operating at a loss.
53
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:18,611
Why did Mr. Madison hire me?
Well, he felt it was time that the <i>Express</i>
54
00:05:18,685 --> 00:05:21,745
buried its antiquated negative approach,
such as this.
55
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:25,756
But who won?
56
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:29,920
And become a positive newspaper.
We're in a business, ladies and gentlemen,
57
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:34,695
a business of satisfying the hunger
of the public for thrills, escape and news.
58
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:39,271
Here's where I took over
your highly respectable white elephant.
59
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:42,172
Instead of headlining a UN story,
we gave them a vice story.
60
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:44,368
Obviously, they went for it.
61
00:05:44,544 --> 00:05:46,239
We played down
the presidential appointments
62
00:05:46,312 --> 00:05:48,644
and concentrated
on the "Gorilla Man" killings.
63
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:51,576
Here's what happened.
Thirty or forty thousand new readers.
64
00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:54,245
Why, in a year, circulation's up over 110%.
65
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,686
And when we reach 750,000,
66
00:05:56,756 --> 00:06:00,886
we'll have to pay you a big bonus.
I'm not sure I like this at all.
67
00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:02,761
Did you like the dividend check
you got last month
68
00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:04,194
for the first time in 12 years?
69
00:06:04,263 --> 00:06:07,323
I don't like this, sir.
What kind of journalism is this?
70
00:06:07,967 --> 00:06:10,026
A newspaper
staging a cheap, vulgar display
71
00:06:10,103 --> 00:06:13,266
in order to attract
the stupid slobs of the city!
72
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,865
The thousands who will attend
the Lonely Heart dance tonight,
73
00:06:15,942 --> 00:06:18,467
these poor, friendly, unhappy people
whom you call stupid slobs,
74
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:20,569
buy and read this newspaper.
75
00:06:20,646 --> 00:06:22,944
Their loyalty helped put that dividend check
in your pocket.
76
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:26,712
And I suppose you think it's a public service
when one of your reporters is arrested
77
00:06:26,786 --> 00:06:30,745
for withholding information from the police?
Or whatever it was.
78
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:34,150
This, what's his name, McCleary person,
79
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,352
and the things he writes about!
I think he should be fired!
80
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:39,295
This McCleary person
is the best young reporter I've seen
81
00:06:39,365 --> 00:06:41,060
in 25 years of newspapering.
82
00:06:41,134 --> 00:06:43,193
Before I'll fire him,
I'll throw the <i>Express</i> up for grabs
83
00:06:43,269 --> 00:06:45,669
and go to work for somebody
who appreciates real talent on a paper!
84
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:47,262
- Mark, I'm sure...
- One last thing.
85
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:50,798
The only contract I have here is a handshake
between Mr. Madison and myself.
86
00:06:50,877 --> 00:06:53,141
Now, unless you give me full rights
to run this paper the way I want,
87
00:06:53,212 --> 00:06:55,271
I'll quit after the final edition today.
88
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:58,784
Now, I'm sorry I can't stay with you
any longer. I have a newspaper to get out!
89
00:07:06,092 --> 00:07:10,426
- Your story ready, Miss Allison?
- I'll have the rest in a minute, Joey.
90
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:13,831
Mr. Chapman?
91
00:07:16,502 --> 00:07:17,696
Thanks.
92
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:26,937
McCleary story in yet, Bax?
93
00:07:32,485 --> 00:07:34,885
How'd you make out in the torture chamber?
94
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:40,450
This is good. Give it a big play.
Mac'll do a byline follow-up tomorrow.
95
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:43,825
- What are these?
- Pics for that Lonely Heart spread.
96
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:45,820
- Junk them.
- But I...
97
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:47,092
Take Peters off the Lonely Hearts.
98
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:48,997
He's photographing these slobs
like a lineup in a soup kitchen
99
00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:50,660
instead of panting for a red-hot romance.
100
00:07:50,736 --> 00:07:52,533
- Okay. But I...
- Yeah?
101
00:07:52,939 --> 00:07:54,566
Yes, Mr. Madison.
102
00:07:58,211 --> 00:08:00,611
- Get an ax, smear it with blood.
- Yeah? Whose?
103
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,171
Yours. If you can't spare any,
use chocolate syrup or something.
104
00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:07,652
Chocolate? Goody! When I'm through,
I can make a plate of fudge. Drop in.
105
00:08:08,721 --> 00:08:12,157
So, you still insist a woman having 20 kids
is worth a feature article?
106
00:08:12,225 --> 00:08:15,422
Hi, genius.
I think it's worth a whole front page.
107
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:18,391
It scares me, this maternal instinct of yours.
108
00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:20,955
Decided where you're taking me
to dinner tonight?
109
00:08:23,736 --> 00:08:25,966
If Chapman hasn't been canned,
110
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,169
you're going to dine with the worst loser
who ever paid off a bet.
111
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:31,608
Then you'd better stash some
bicarbonate soda in your bag, princess.
112
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:32,837
You're gonna need it.
113
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:35,437
Don't count your steaks
before you hear the sizzle.
114
00:08:37,617 --> 00:08:39,608
Well, what's the word? Are you ex or still?
115
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,880
They're not dumb enough
to throw out a winner.
116
00:08:41,954 --> 00:08:44,650
Congratulations. I knew you'd stick
their stocks right back in their teeth.
117
00:08:44,724 --> 00:08:46,555
I told them if they fired me,
McCleary would quit, too,
118
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:49,060
and then they'd be in real trouble.
119
00:08:49,128 --> 00:08:50,527
I wouldn't put it past them
to try and dump you
120
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:53,929
to get out of paying the bonus that's
staring them right in their glassy eyes.
121
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,331
I've got news for you.
122
00:08:55,401 --> 00:08:57,528
I'm going to cut you in
for a piece of that bonus.
123
00:08:57,603 --> 00:08:59,298
What do you want me to do, retire?
124
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:00,566
I thought we could make a deal with Madison
125
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,698
to buy some of the company's stock.
126
00:09:01,774 --> 00:09:03,901
You know, kid,
we could end up owning this newspaper.
127
00:09:03,976 --> 00:09:06,536
- Well, that's the best offer I've had all week.
- I'll make you another one.
128
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:09,080
I'll take you to dinner tonight.
You pick the spot.
129
00:09:10,349 --> 00:09:14,012
I'll make you a better offer.
My date's buying. She lost a bet.
130
00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:17,544
The Grand Duchess from Vassar again?
The way I feel, I can put up with anything.
131
00:09:17,623 --> 00:09:19,818
- I'm more worried, can she put up with you?
- Get her ready.
132
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:24,124
We've got to be at the ballroom at 8:00.
There's no time for nose powder.
133
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:32,597
Don't break your ears with that grin.
I can see. He's still in.
134
00:09:33,005 --> 00:09:36,532
- No loud whoops of joy, baby?
- Well, I tried everything.
135
00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:39,770
I crossed my fingers,
said prayers, burned candles.
136
00:09:39,845 --> 00:09:43,713
- Who's your tailor, princess?
- Let's get out of here.
137
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,075
I've had to look at that Chapman face all day.
138
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:50,714
I've got to cover his fiasco tonight
and suffer some more.
139
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:53,987
At least just looking at you for an hour
will be a welcome change.
140
00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:57,496
- Lf you're taking me to dinner, let's go.
- Taking him?
141
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,195
Wait a minute.
Our bet was between you and me.
142
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:03,463
Our bet was loser buys dinner.
We didn't say for how many.
143
00:10:03,536 --> 00:10:06,994
- Why, you double-crossing...
- I knew you'd be a good loser.
144
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:10,807
Someday remind me to tell you about girls.
145
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:20,248
You talk a couple of these suckers
into getting married.
146
00:10:20,319 --> 00:10:21,581
These Lonely Heart slobs got the gimmies,
147
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:23,519
and we've got plenty to give them
from the advertisers.
148
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:25,284
If you talk one couple
into getting married by 9:00,
149
00:10:25,358 --> 00:10:27,883
by 12:00 we'll have a dozen lined up
for wedded bliss.
150
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,155
- McCleary, the Brooklyn cupid.
- McCleary, the human yes man.
151
00:10:30,229 --> 00:10:31,594
Hey, Julie!
152
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:34,155
- Hello, Charlie.
- Charlie.
153
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:38,225
- How are you, Barnes?
- Fine, Mark. You're looking fit. McCleary.
154
00:10:38,571 --> 00:10:39,595
Thank you.
155
00:10:39,672 --> 00:10:41,799
What goes on? Are you ghosting
Allison's features, Charlie?
156
00:10:41,874 --> 00:10:43,774
No, he's helping me with research
for that series
157
00:10:43,843 --> 00:10:45,640
on historical monuments in New York.
158
00:10:45,711 --> 00:10:47,872
You couldn't pick a better man.
I ought to know.
159
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:50,006
Remember those old days, Mark?
160
00:10:50,082 --> 00:10:53,813
Like the time I cut the phone cables
at the Lindbergh trial?
161
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:55,520
You scooped me. Almost cost me my job.
162
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:59,957
Scooped you, the wire services,
scooped everybody. That was the year...
163
00:11:00,026 --> 00:11:02,358
That was the year you won the Pulitzer Prize.
164
00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:06,826
Listen, Mark.
This stuff I've been doing for Julie, it's...
165
00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:13,200
- Mark, I think I'm ready to go back to work.
- That's fine. I'm glad to hear it, Charlie.
166
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,164
How about it, Mark? How about a job?
167
00:11:19,645 --> 00:11:21,510
- Why not?
- Thanks.
168
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:25,447
- Charlie, I'm so proud of you!
- This is gonna take a little juggling.
169
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:26,849
I won't be able to do anything right away.
170
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:28,978
Look, Charlie, I'll call you.
We're late, we gotta rush.
171
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:31,785
Sure, Mark, I know how it is,
always on the go.
172
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:35,258
- Coffee in the morning? Skinners?
- Sure thing, Julie.
173
00:11:40,199 --> 00:11:41,257
All the time I thought you were a...
174
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:43,699
- How much did you give him?
- $10. He earned it.
175
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:44,929
Ten bucks?
176
00:11:45,004 --> 00:11:47,336
- Buy a lot of whiskey.
- Did you see that rum-dumb?
177
00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:49,806
- Come midnight, he'll be in the gutter.
- Now, wait a minute.
178
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:51,274
He's an alky, Julie.
You shouldn't give an alky
179
00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:52,367
more than a buck at a time.
180
00:11:52,445 --> 00:11:55,414
You're liable to kill him.
Ten bucks, he can take a bath in it.
181
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:58,314
But... Well, this job
will change everything for him.
182
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:01,319
Job? I wouldn't have him in my office,
let alone on my staff.
183
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:04,117
In you go, sucker. Where are you going?
184
00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:07,085
I'm not going to let him go off believing this.
185
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:10,617
- Do you want to break his heart?
- Do I? What do you think you're doing?
186
00:12:10,696 --> 00:12:13,358
I'm giving him hopes and dreams.
A rummy like that lives on dreams.
187
00:12:13,432 --> 00:12:17,061
- He's happy. Why spoil it?
- Happy? Happy like your Lonely Hearts,
188
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,798
looking forward to those big romances
they've been promised?
189
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:23,069
- Only Charlie's romance is with a bottle.
- Get in.
190
00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:48,057
Biddle, don't leave that camera at half mast.
Stop goldbricking on the other guys.
191
00:12:48,134 --> 00:12:52,127
I must have got 100 shots already,
Mr. Chapman. My arm's giving out.
192
00:12:52,204 --> 00:12:56,334
You've only started. I want shots of people
from every state. Now start shooting.
193
00:12:58,911 --> 00:13:01,038
How are you doing, princess?
194
00:13:01,147 --> 00:13:04,116
Well, it's an effort,
but I'm trying to keep from screaming.
195
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:06,981
You were a real bundle of laughs
during dinner, too.
196
00:13:07,052 --> 00:13:08,781
Why don't you simmer down now?
197
00:13:08,854 --> 00:13:10,515
You're not so pretty
when your feathers are all ruffled.
198
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:13,183
Don't, Steve. I'm in no mood for levity.
199
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:17,491
- Do you feel like dancing?
- Do you figure that'll smooth my feathers?
200
00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:21,691
I've got a great idea for you. Grab yourself
one of these Lonely Heart boys.
201
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:25,066
Tell him you're a club date. Con him.
Get his life history.
202
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:28,903
- And there's your feature for tomorrow.
- Mark Chapman, Junior.
203
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:31,568
It'll sell papers, you left that out.
204
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:34,871
Happy hunting, cupid.
Mustn't let the boss down.
205
00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:38,312
Save at least one dance for me, princess.
206
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:58,034
Every time I aim my lens
at one of these walking zombies,
207
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:01,334
I think of the time
I covered the Miss America contest.
208
00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:03,705
The tears almost start to flow.
209
00:14:06,378 --> 00:14:09,370
From McCleary, you get nothing but service.
Ten minutes before 9:00,
210
00:14:09,448 --> 00:14:13,179
and couple number one. Mary and Joe
met in front of the Arkansas booth.
211
00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:16,221
It was love at first sight, almost. Right?
212
00:14:16,288 --> 00:14:20,349
Well, sure. I'm from Texas,
but I sure love that Arkansas cooking.
213
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,890
- You love her, don't you?
- Well, sure, I reckon so.
214
00:14:23,963 --> 00:14:26,158
- Mary, you love him?
- Yes.
215
00:14:26,966 --> 00:14:31,130
- See, they're crazy about each other.
- Yeah, that's fine. Hey, Edwards.
216
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:33,535
We've got a romance going here.
They're ready for the orange blossoms.
217
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,837
- Well, how do you do? And congratulations.
- Save the teeth for the bandstand.
218
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:38,171
Get up there
and make the big announcement.
219
00:14:38,244 --> 00:14:42,044
Yes, sir, Mr. Chapman.
Come with me, you lucky, lucky people.
220
00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:46,842
Hey, you ain't gonna forget about the bed
with the built-in television set?
221
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:48,614
You'll spend your honeymoon in front of it.
222
00:14:51,624 --> 00:14:55,321
- Nice going, Steve, keep punching.
- I'll get the camera boys up to cover it.
223
00:14:57,129 --> 00:15:01,862
- Did you find a feature to write about yet?
- I haven't, and I don't intend to.
224
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:05,435
This bribing of poor, ignorant dopes
into a public wedding
225
00:15:05,504 --> 00:15:07,665
is cheap, cruel and disgusting.
226
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:10,573
This whole Wild West show is ridiculous,
and I want no part of it.
227
00:15:10,643 --> 00:15:13,305
Miss Allison,
your contract has six months to run.
228
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:17,281
My contract was made with Mr. Madison
before you took over the <i>Express.</i>
229
00:15:17,349 --> 00:15:18,543
If you don't like the way I run the paper,
230
00:15:18,617 --> 00:15:21,245
I have an agreement
that might be satisfactory to both of us.
231
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,811
Take six months' vacation with pay!
232
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:30,286
No, thank you, Mr. Chapman. I'll work it out.
I like my feature writing.
233
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,898
Thinking people like it, too,
234
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:37,561
even though there aren't many of them
buying the <i>Express</i> anymore. Good night!
235
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:43,605
That's it.
236
00:15:50,382 --> 00:15:53,613
<i>Friends, brothers and sisters</i>
<i>in the Lonely Hearts Club.</i>
237
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:55,677
<i>I have wonderful news for you,</i>
238
00:15:55,754 --> 00:15:59,747
<i>living proof that this magnificent club</i>
<i>is more than just a name.</i>
239
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:04,386
<i>But first, how would you like to meet</i>
<i>the great man who created your club?</i>
240
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:11,998
<i>Mr. Mark Chapman,</i>
<i>editor of the</i> New York Express.
241
00:16:12,071 --> 00:16:14,665
<i>Put the spotlight on him, over there!</i>
242
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,782
<i>Now here's the wonderful news.</i>
243
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:37,056
<i>Meet Mary and Joe, two happy people</i>
<i>who came here tonight as total strangers.</i>
244
00:16:37,463 --> 00:16:42,400
<i>They met, they danced, they found love.</i>
<i>They're going to get married!</i>
245
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,474
George?
246
00:16:57,516 --> 00:17:00,041
<i>- As the first couple who fell in love tonight...</i>
- George Grant!
247
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:01,814
<i>...Mary and Joe will receive...</i>
- It is you!
248
00:17:01,887 --> 00:17:03,752
<i>...compliments of the</i> Express...
- Charlotte.
249
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:05,119
<i>... a wedding night in a New York hotel...</i>
250
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:08,921
Finding you here...
I was so sure that you must be dead.
251
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:11,759
George Grant is dead.
252
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:14,259
Yes, I just heard.
253
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,134
- You're the...
- We can't talk here.
254
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:19,901
We can talk at my place, George.
255
00:17:20,806 --> 00:17:23,036
We've got a lot to talk about.
256
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:26,509
Go on out. I'll meet you at the side entrance.
257
00:17:32,785 --> 00:17:35,151
The years have been kinder to you.
258
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:38,621
What is it, 19, 20?
I used to keep track, but I don't...
259
00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:41,716
What's the difference?
Now that you found me, what do you want?
260
00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:57,401
May I?
261
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:07,375
- Come on, quit stalling around.
- What was it they called you at the ball?
262
00:18:07,453 --> 00:18:08,977
- Mark?
- Chapman.
263
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:15,755
When did you change your name, George?
Right after you left me?
264
00:18:17,062 --> 00:18:18,962
So I wouldn't find you?
265
00:18:19,631 --> 00:18:21,292
You knew I was so crazy about you
266
00:18:21,366 --> 00:18:24,028
I'd look and look and look,
didn't you, George?
267
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,697
Come on, get to it. What do you want?
268
00:18:27,739 --> 00:18:32,574
You're still in a hurry, aren't you?
That's the thing I remember best about you.
269
00:18:32,878 --> 00:18:37,645
The fellow who always ran and never walked.
Had to get places fast!
270
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,749
And you got places, didn't you, George?
271
00:18:44,323 --> 00:18:46,883
Here, you need some money?
Here's some for now.
272
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,860
Money? The payoff, George?
273
00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:54,497
How much? How much for each year?
274
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:58,633
How much for the agony
and the heartbreak and the fear?
275
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:03,141
- Charlotte, cut the ham act.
- This could be for the doctor bill, see?
276
00:19:06,578 --> 00:19:10,173
I was 20 years younger then,
took things more seriously.
277
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:14,142
I can't imagine how much.
278
00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:18,087
You're boring me now, like you always did.
279
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:20,388
People always bored you
280
00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:23,155
when you didn't have
any more use for them, didn't they, George?
281
00:19:23,228 --> 00:19:25,025
Bores and nuisances, I get rid of them.
282
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:27,497
Yeah, the same gentle way
you got rid of me.
283
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:28,692
My lawyer will get in touch with you.
284
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:31,702
He'll arrange a quiet divorce
and generous alimony.
285
00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:34,671
You're an important man now,
aren't you, George?
286
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:37,038
Editor of the <i>New York Express.</i>
287
00:19:38,977 --> 00:19:43,346
I never thought I'd be the wife of the editor
of a big New York newspaper.
288
00:19:43,415 --> 00:19:47,112
You're not, and don't get any ideas
about forcing yourself.
289
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:51,020
You've got nothing to gain by refusing me
a divorce now like you did 20 years ago.
290
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:56,759
I was young then and so foolishly in love.
I wanted so much to hold onto you.
291
00:19:57,496 --> 00:20:00,021
I made all of my mistakes when I was young,
and you were the biggest one.
292
00:20:00,098 --> 00:20:02,794
I fell for an attractive hunk of flesh.
293
00:20:04,169 --> 00:20:07,627
"Hold me." You didn't try to hang on.
You strangled me.
294
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,936
I'd smother to death with you.
295
00:20:15,747 --> 00:20:19,808
Turnabout's fair play.
When you walked out on me, I died inside.
296
00:20:20,352 --> 00:20:23,116
When I walk out of here, you're gonna die.
297
00:20:23,188 --> 00:20:27,852
Everything you worked for, grabbed for,
ruined people to get, it's all gonna die!
298
00:20:27,926 --> 00:20:29,393
You're a neurotic screwball!
299
00:20:29,461 --> 00:20:33,955
I'm gonna spread your story all over town.
Mark Chapman, the great editor!
300
00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:37,829
Wife deserter!
Living under a false name for 20 years.
301
00:20:39,137 --> 00:20:42,334
What else did you cover up
living under a phony name?
302
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:44,637
Your publishers are gonna love this.
303
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:49,044
And the other papers, they'll cut you
to ribbons with this information!
304
00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,470
Hi, honey, let me have the city room.
305
00:23:33,812 --> 00:23:37,179
This is Elkins.
If you need me, I'm over in Skinners.
306
00:23:38,316 --> 00:23:41,808
What? Having breakfast. Yeah, breakfast.
307
00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:53,323
Yes, Julie, after that fortunate
and historical meeting with Mark yesterday,
308
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:57,629
I had considerable difficulty
wooing the fickle Morpheus.
309
00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:01,939
That explains it.
Those bleeding eyes today.
310
00:24:02,474 --> 00:24:05,341
Well, I did have a couple
with the boys down below.
311
00:24:05,410 --> 00:24:08,277
A sort of celebration, and then farewell.
312
00:24:11,049 --> 00:24:13,574
You should have left them long ago, Charlie.
313
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:15,916
Any man who was big enough
in his day to rate that,
314
00:24:16,555 --> 00:24:20,389
a place in Skinner's Hall of Fame,
is still too big for Dead-End Street.
315
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:25,028
No regrets, Julie. My temporary alliance
with the denizens of the Bowery
316
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:29,863
has provided me with a deeper insight
into the whys and wherefores of mankind.
317
00:24:35,674 --> 00:24:38,006
A proven medical fact,
when the human system
318
00:24:38,076 --> 00:24:40,840
has been lengthily nurtured
on alcoholic stimulants,
319
00:24:40,912 --> 00:24:44,871
any abrupt cessation of same
will result in a negative reaction.
320
00:24:45,016 --> 00:24:46,381
Absolutely.
321
00:24:47,652 --> 00:24:52,385
But I'm tapering off. I'll be a firmly-rooted
passenger on the old water wagon
322
00:24:52,524 --> 00:24:54,856
by the time Mark's ready for me.
323
00:24:57,295 --> 00:25:01,561
Charlie, don't bet everything
on Mark Chapman.
324
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:06,666
He won't let me down.
First time I felt ready, I asked him for a job,
325
00:25:06,938 --> 00:25:10,032
and what happened?
He offered me one, didn't he?
326
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:15,173
- Mr. Lonely Heart.
- Compliments of the <i>Express,</i> Myrtle.
327
00:25:15,747 --> 00:25:18,545
- I see you read. You stick with the radio.
- Yeah.
328
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:20,744
Hey, McCleary,
I read that rag of yours by accident.
329
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:23,287
Yeah, me, too.
From ax murder to Ionely hearts.
330
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:25,653
What are you trying to prove,
you're versatile or something?
331
00:25:25,724 --> 00:25:27,885
What are you gentlemen
reading our rag for?
332
00:25:27,959 --> 00:25:30,427
Trying to find out
what's happening that's news?
333
00:25:30,495 --> 00:25:32,929
Good morning, kiddies. What's the word?
334
00:25:35,066 --> 00:25:36,624
Silly, that's the word.
335
00:25:36,701 --> 00:25:38,635
Still a heaping bunch of joy,
aren't you, princess?
336
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:43,663
Lonely Hearts Ball. Journalism has certainly
changed since the old days.
337
00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:47,302
What happened to you last night?
Pulled a fast fade on me.
338
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:50,712
- Don't tell me you actually missed me?
- I needed protection.
339
00:25:50,782 --> 00:25:53,250
Some of our love-hungry subscribers
got mixed up.
340
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:56,014
They were offering me deep-freezes
and vacuum cleaners.
341
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:59,318
- I'm surprised you refused.
- How do you know I did?
342
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:02,849
Certainly heavy coverage
on the unrequited passion set.
343
00:26:03,261 --> 00:26:06,924
Our love and romance edition, Charlie.
Even the crossword puzzle.
344
00:26:06,998 --> 00:26:08,966
But nothing from the Allison corner.
345
00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:12,335
Not interested in romance, Julie?
346
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:16,465
Not the kind that blossoms
on free gas stoves and television sets.
347
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:21,235
- About that Lonely Heart gag, I've got a...
- Steve, on the radio.
348
00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:27,652
- Julie. Hi, Charlie.
- Hi, Biddle.
349
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:31,086
Police call. Dead dame in a flat
on Third Avenue. Are you interested?
350
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:33,090
Well, she'd probably be a cheerful change.
351
00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:36,685
I'm still getting the icebox treatment
from the female on my left.
352
00:26:36,761 --> 00:26:40,162
After them scarecrows I shot last night,
I figure my luck's gotta change.
353
00:26:40,231 --> 00:26:43,428
Even dead, this dame's bound
to have more glamour.
354
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:45,467
Let's give her a look.
355
00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:48,801
Thanks for the coffee, kitten.
356
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:03,785
Another scarecrow. I'm batting goose eggs.
357
00:27:05,323 --> 00:27:07,848
Dames have got to make trouble
even when they die, don't they, pal?
358
00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:11,384
Yeah, water downstairs and water upstairs.
359
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:14,531
Probably wanted a room
with a swimming pool.
360
00:27:14,966 --> 00:27:16,866
Hey, Davis, what are you doing here?
361
00:27:16,935 --> 00:27:21,031
I just wanted to see if I couldn't get
to one of our calls before you did.
362
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:22,471
This isn't a homicide?
363
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:24,531
We got a new man
on the beat here, McCleary.
364
00:27:24,609 --> 00:27:26,167
He's built like you between the ears.
365
00:27:26,244 --> 00:27:29,975
He saw a hole in the back of the dame's head
and figured she was slugged.
366
00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:31,515
What's your guess, Lieutenant?
367
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:33,949
She put the hole
in the back of her head herself?
368
00:27:34,019 --> 00:27:36,783
Yeah, wise-eyes, that's it. That's it exactly.
369
00:27:36,855 --> 00:27:40,291
She slipped in the tub
and opened her skull on a faucet.
370
00:27:40,358 --> 00:27:43,953
- What was the lady's name, Sherlock?
- The landlady says Jane Jones.
371
00:27:44,029 --> 00:27:45,360
- Do you believe it?
- Yeah, I believe it.
372
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:47,762
I'm fresh out of nursery school.
373
00:27:48,466 --> 00:27:52,402
Jane Jones, alias Jane Doe.
Say, Dave, you're really humming.
374
00:27:53,204 --> 00:27:56,401
Look, nuisance, if you so much as make
these bedsprings squeak once again,
375
00:27:56,474 --> 00:28:00,308
- I'll throw you in the tub with the dame.
- Lieutenant, please.
376
00:28:04,616 --> 00:28:08,177
You're wrong, Dave.
She was murdered. Clear as your head.
377
00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:10,347
Murdered for her money.
378
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:13,949
Why, this lady must have spent easily
six or seven dollars a year on clothes.
379
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:15,492
Why don't you go home, McCleary?
380
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,462
There's nothing around here
to interest a big newsman like you.
381
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:27,827
Look, junior, keep your nose
in your own business, or I'll run you in
382
00:28:27,906 --> 00:28:31,137
- for obstruction, suspicion and vagrancy.
- Why, sure, Dave.
383
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:33,837
I just thought there might be something
in here to help identify her.
384
00:28:33,912 --> 00:28:35,243
No suitcase, huh?
385
00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:41,715
- In there, boys.
- Okay, Steve, I got all I need.
386
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:46,957
Thanks, Dave.
387
00:28:49,127 --> 00:28:52,062
- No, not you two again.
- What do you guys do,
388
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:54,758
smell these things
before the police call is even in?
389
00:28:54,833 --> 00:28:57,301
Try to forget your mugs.
There's a lady in the bathroom.
390
00:28:57,368 --> 00:29:00,531
- Yes, so knock before entering.
- Coming through.
391
00:29:10,381 --> 00:29:12,406
- What'd you pinch that for?
- Look familiar?
392
00:29:12,484 --> 00:29:15,544
I had them in front of me all night, didn't I?
393
00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:18,747
Hey, that's off a Lonely Hearts badge!
394
00:29:18,823 --> 00:29:22,554
Yeah. How many pictures
did you and the boys take at the ball?
395
00:29:22,627 --> 00:29:24,925
Three, maybe four hundred. I don't know.
396
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:27,260
Rush the print of Miss Bathtub
through the lab.
397
00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:28,594
Then check it against the others.
398
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:30,964
- See if you can match them up, okay?
- Sure.
399
00:29:31,035 --> 00:29:34,937
- Shouldn't take more than a week.
- Yeah, but I want it done in an hour.
400
00:29:35,006 --> 00:29:36,701
- I'll see you at the office.
- Where are you going?
401
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:39,903
I'm gonna hitch a ride to the morgue.
If you match them, call me.
402
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,674
How about a ride to the morgue, Pete?
403
00:30:04,969 --> 00:30:07,096
Hey, Needle Nellie, anybody home?
404
00:30:07,172 --> 00:30:08,662
Hey, handsome.
405
00:30:09,007 --> 00:30:11,271
- How you doing, sweetheart?
- Doing all right, handsome.
406
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:13,037
Come here and give us a kiss.
407
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,815
- How's business at the morgue, Nellie?
- Dead.
408
00:30:19,551 --> 00:30:21,178
Business is dead.
409
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:25,621
- It's good to see you, handsome.
- Likewise, sweetheart.
410
00:30:25,690 --> 00:30:27,385
A long time between dates.
411
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:30,621
But right now,
I come seeking your expert female advice.
412
00:30:30,695 --> 00:30:34,131
Anybody that's lived as long as me
can give it. Shoot.
413
00:30:34,732 --> 00:30:37,565
Nellie, if you had just one dress
to your name
414
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:39,535
and you'd fastened something onto it
with a safety pin,
415
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:40,969
and maybe you were in a hurry,
416
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,008
would you take time to undo the pin,
or would you rip the whole thing off?
417
00:30:44,075 --> 00:30:46,305
- This is a riddle?
- No, seriously.
418
00:30:46,377 --> 00:30:51,041
Well, if I had 10 dresses and the house
was burning down, I'd still undo the pin.
419
00:30:51,115 --> 00:30:52,639
Any lady would.
420
00:30:53,017 --> 00:30:55,485
That's what I figured.
I just wanted a woman to confirm it.
421
00:30:55,553 --> 00:30:57,453
I love you, Nellie. I love you.
422
00:30:57,522 --> 00:31:00,047
- Where you going, handsome?
- I gotta see the doc.
423
00:31:00,124 --> 00:31:01,955
Maybe I can get you some business, Nellie.
424
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:11,364
Did you get those ringside ducats
I sent you?
425
00:31:11,436 --> 00:31:13,427
Steve! Yeah, it was a great fight.
426
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:15,438
Mishke really tore that Haybelly apart,
didn't he?
427
00:31:15,506 --> 00:31:19,840
Had so much blood spattered on my glasses,
I missed the knockout punch.
428
00:31:20,478 --> 00:31:24,175
Look, Doc,
they just brought in an accidental death.
429
00:31:24,249 --> 00:31:27,047
- They're putting her in the freezer right now.
- So?
430
00:31:27,118 --> 00:31:30,110
So, I'd like you to give her
the onceover for me. An autopsy.
431
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:33,646
Accidents are out of my province.
You know that, Steve.
432
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:35,383
It's going to be
a great World Series this year.
433
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:37,087
Yeah, that it is.
434
00:31:37,528 --> 00:31:41,362
I don't suppose you'd be interested
in viewing the festivities from a box seat?
435
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:47,132
Are you trying to bribe a city official?
436
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:51,135
Right behind first base, Doc.
437
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:11,028
Yeah. Yeah, get some prints ready.
I think we've got our front page.
438
00:32:11,095 --> 00:32:14,792
Well, this is your lucky day. Drop back,
I want you to mark my racing form.
439
00:32:14,866 --> 00:32:16,766
Get the door, will you?
440
00:32:17,368 --> 00:32:20,064
Yeah, and don't forget, I smoke cigars.
441
00:32:20,838 --> 00:32:24,831
- Hey, Steve, let me wipe those off a little.
- Wipe them tomorrow.
442
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:32,008
Will you smile again
if I take you to dinner tonight?
443
00:32:32,083 --> 00:32:34,847
- A little celebration coming up.
- What's the celebration?
444
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:37,649
Another McCleary scoop.
Getting monotonous, isn't it?
445
00:32:37,722 --> 00:32:42,557
That dinner. A two-party celebration,
or are you bringing a friend?
446
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:44,559
Just you and me alone.
447
00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:47,825
I'll smile again.
What are the fragile treasures?
448
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:52,060
Very rare items.
Pictures of a dame with her mouth shut.
449
00:32:53,071 --> 00:32:55,972
- Joey, catch the door, will you?
- All right.
450
00:32:58,676 --> 00:33:01,270
I've been waiting a long time
for a chance to say this.
451
00:33:01,346 --> 00:33:03,439
- Stop the presses!
- Did you get a morning-after story
452
00:33:03,514 --> 00:33:05,004
on any of those couples
we married last night?
453
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:07,483
I got a story from one
of the Lonely Heart Ball guests, all right.
454
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:11,079
But she didn't get married last night.
She got murdered!
455
00:33:19,964 --> 00:33:23,263
- Who is she?
- A Jane Doe. Nobody knows her real name.
456
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:25,996
The police think she slipped in the bathtub
and bashed her head in,
457
00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:30,507
- or they did until a little while ago.
- But you knew better all the time?
458
00:33:30,575 --> 00:33:32,941
After Doc O'Hanlon got through
cutting her up for me.
459
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:36,538
She died between 9:00 and 12:00 last night,
before she went under in the tub.
460
00:33:36,614 --> 00:33:38,479
No water in her lungs.
461
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:40,283
Did he find anything else?
462
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:44,788
Yeah, her killer was a man, middle-aged,
fair complexion. Had brown hair.
463
00:33:45,390 --> 00:33:47,620
O'Hanlon found that
in scraping under her fingernails.
464
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:50,593
You ran into this
just by playing a hunch, huh?
465
00:33:50,661 --> 00:33:53,858
A string from a Lonely Heart badge
was on her dress in the closet.
466
00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:57,628
The badge had been torn off.
I followed through from there.
467
00:34:00,371 --> 00:34:04,364
Well, is this a story,
this Lonely Heart murdered after the ball?
468
00:34:04,575 --> 00:34:06,805
Can you sell papers with this?
469
00:34:10,248 --> 00:34:13,342
Baxter, Jordan, Allison,
get in here right away.
470
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:15,477
They didn't know her name, you said?
471
00:34:15,553 --> 00:34:18,920
Well, she called herself Jane Jones.
How phony can you get?
472
00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:20,014
We've just been struck by lightning.
473
00:34:20,091 --> 00:34:22,025
It's a great follow-up
for the Lonely Hearts Ball.
474
00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:24,118
Tell them about it, Steve.
475
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:30,997
We'll call her Miss Lonely Heart,
no other name. Alone in the city, friendless.
476
00:34:31,536 --> 00:34:34,801
She went to our shindig last night,
hunting for a soul mate.
477
00:34:34,872 --> 00:34:37,363
Maybe she found one, the wrong one.
478
00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:39,872
Anyway, she left early,
and sometime before midnight
479
00:34:39,944 --> 00:34:41,343
she was beaten to death in her room
480
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:44,540
by a brown-haired, middle-aged man
of fair complexion.
481
00:34:44,615 --> 00:34:46,480
A smash follow-up is right.
482
00:34:46,551 --> 00:34:49,247
The killer had a head full of brains.
Good nerves.
483
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,723
He lugged her to the bathroom,
stripped her, tossed the body in the tub.
484
00:34:54,459 --> 00:34:58,520
No. No, he stood the body in the tub.
Aimed, let go!
485
00:34:58,696 --> 00:35:03,190
Bang, her head cracks the faucet.
Almost perfect crime. Ordinary accident.
486
00:35:04,035 --> 00:35:06,936
He's working smartly,
a guy with imagination.
487
00:35:07,004 --> 00:35:10,963
He takes her slip, stockings,
washes them, hangs them up to dry.
488
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,000
He wipes his prints off everywhere.
489
00:35:13,077 --> 00:35:16,274
He starts getting rid of anything
that could identify her.
490
00:35:16,347 --> 00:35:18,907
He took a ring off her,
probably a wedding or engagement ring.
491
00:35:18,983 --> 00:35:22,111
- How do you know that?
- Whitish circle, third finger, left hand.
492
00:35:22,186 --> 00:35:25,587
- O'Hanlon spotted it at the morgue.
- All right, go on, go on.
493
00:35:25,656 --> 00:35:27,954
Well, he grabs any other personal items
that might identify her
494
00:35:28,025 --> 00:35:29,856
and throws them in her suitcase and blows.
495
00:35:29,927 --> 00:35:32,361
- How do you know she's got a suitcase?
- Every dame's got a suitcase.
496
00:35:32,430 --> 00:35:34,022
But there wasn't one
in Miss Lonely Heart's room.
497
00:35:34,098 --> 00:35:35,861
This'll kick up the circulation.
498
00:35:36,701 --> 00:35:40,137
We can make the 5:00 edition exclusive.
Steve can do the lead story.
499
00:35:40,204 --> 00:35:42,263
Jordan, I want three column cuts
of the dame's picture at the ball
500
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:44,433
and the murder photo.
Allison, write me a sob story,
501
00:35:44,509 --> 00:35:46,568
"Miss Lonely Heart
won't be Ionely anymore."
502
00:35:46,644 --> 00:35:47,736
Fine job, Steve.
503
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,303
Sure, it's a great job,
but we're gonna top it.
504
00:35:50,381 --> 00:35:51,439
How?
505
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,513
- Bury her.
- Bury her?
506
00:35:57,555 --> 00:35:59,682
The best story I ever dug up, and he tops it.
507
00:35:59,757 --> 00:36:02,157
By 5:00 tonight, Miss Lonely Heart
will be selling newspapers for us
508
00:36:02,226 --> 00:36:05,923
on every street corner in Manhattan.
Now, go on, get going.
509
00:37:42,126 --> 00:37:43,787
Be seeing you, Humpty.
510
00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:31,269
Look, I've shown you everything in the shop.
That's the last one I've got!
511
00:38:35,513 --> 00:38:36,605
Mark!
512
00:38:39,283 --> 00:38:41,217
- Mark, old boy!
- How are you, Charlie.
513
00:38:41,285 --> 00:38:45,085
What distasteful mission brings you to this
unholy neighborhood, Mark, my friend?
514
00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:46,589
I'm just looking around.
I like to keep my hand in,
515
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,124
even though I am strapped
to a desk right now.
516
00:38:48,192 --> 00:38:50,126
You wouldn't mean you're keeping
your hand in by working
517
00:38:50,194 --> 00:38:51,821
on this Lonely Heart murder,
would you, now, Mark?
518
00:38:51,896 --> 00:38:53,955
I've got a staff to take care of that for me.
519
00:38:54,031 --> 00:38:56,727
You can't kid an old newshound
like me, Mark.
520
00:38:56,801 --> 00:39:00,999
Still following our old formula,
first check the hock shops for a clue?
521
00:39:01,072 --> 00:39:03,336
Didn't wanna tip your hand
to those cops in there, did you?
522
00:39:03,407 --> 00:39:05,637
I tell you I'm not down here on business.
Now stop playing hawkshaw!
523
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:08,770
Let me show you Charlie Barnes
still has the master's touch
524
00:39:08,846 --> 00:39:11,713
- when it comes to following up a lead, Mark.
- Tell me about it later, will you,
525
00:39:11,782 --> 00:39:15,684
- when you come back to work for me?
- You're afraid I'll get drunk and tip the story.
526
00:39:15,753 --> 00:39:18,881
- I'm tapering off, Mark.
- That's fine, Charlie. I'll call you.
527
00:39:18,956 --> 00:39:23,825
Let me work this with you, Mark. I know
this whole district from gutter to rum-heads.
528
00:39:23,894 --> 00:39:26,226
Pete in the pawnshop's
an honored friend of mine.
529
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:27,992
- Yeah.
- I can get him to work with me and...
530
00:39:28,065 --> 00:39:30,898
- Hello, Charlie!
- Go away.
531
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:35,400
- Here, Charlie, here's something to count.
- I don't want a handout, Mark.
532
00:39:35,473 --> 00:39:37,498
- I want to work.
- You can pay me later. I'll call you, Charlie.
533
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:39,338
Mark, let me help...
534
00:40:13,544 --> 00:40:14,704
Hang onto them, Pete.
535
00:40:14,779 --> 00:40:17,873
We'll drop back payday
and look them over again.
536
00:40:25,022 --> 00:40:26,489
Them guys should wear glasses.
537
00:40:26,557 --> 00:40:29,185
They do so much looking,
but never no buying.
538
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:31,125
Get this for me, Pete.
539
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:34,356
Taking something out for a change
instead of putting it in, Charlie?
540
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:37,526
I admit to the novelty of the occasion, Peter.
541
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:50,109
- Hey, you didn't hock this with me.
- Doing a favor for a friend.
542
00:40:52,082 --> 00:40:56,178
Them cops. You know, if someday
they should buy something from me, I'd...
543
00:40:56,253 --> 00:40:59,620
No, that'd be bad. I'd drop dead.
544
00:41:02,226 --> 00:41:06,185
You know, Charlie, I ought to be
in some other kind of business.
545
00:41:06,697 --> 00:41:10,497
You really meet a very poor class of people
in this business.
546
00:41:10,768 --> 00:41:13,259
Not meaning anything personal,
you understand.
547
00:41:13,337 --> 00:41:16,773
But I'm always dealing with people
who are in trouble,
548
00:41:17,274 --> 00:41:21,608
people who gotta hock something.
People who gotta buy something cheap.
549
00:41:24,582 --> 00:41:28,109
I don't like cheap things.
I never did and I never will.
550
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:34,356
I should have been big fur man, maybe,
or big jewelry man.
551
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,651
Then I could deal with rich people.
552
00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:42,554
That's the kind of people
I really prefer to deal with.
553
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:47,694
- Hey! How much is on this ticket?
- Two bucks.
554
00:41:58,249 --> 00:41:59,841
Here, sign here.
555
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:08,424
You know, sometimes they say
even the rich people aren't happy.
556
00:42:08,492 --> 00:42:11,017
But how that could be, I don't know.
557
00:42:12,296 --> 00:42:15,857
Thank you, Peter.
Thank you for being in business!
558
00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:21,433
Thank you very much.
559
00:42:33,517 --> 00:42:35,041
A shot, Heeney.
560
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:38,614
You look like your blood pressure's boiling,
Charlie. What's the matter?
561
00:42:38,689 --> 00:42:40,680
The classic irony of the age, Heeney.
562
00:42:40,758 --> 00:42:43,659
Charlie Barnes, a stewbum,
rocking the newspaper world
563
00:42:43,727 --> 00:42:46,457
like he never did in all his sober days.
564
00:43:00,411 --> 00:43:02,208
- Composing.
- Yes, sir.
565
00:43:04,481 --> 00:43:07,712
Yes. Yes, madam,
I have two answers for you.
566
00:43:08,185 --> 00:43:11,313
First, you shouldn't talk
to strange men in bars.
567
00:43:11,388 --> 00:43:13,982
Second, because he asked you to marry him
568
00:43:14,058 --> 00:43:16,356
then hit you with a pretzel dish
when you refused
569
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:19,191
isn't conclusive proof
he's our Lonely Heart Killer,
570
00:43:19,263 --> 00:43:21,697
but thanks for calling, lady. Bye.
571
00:43:23,334 --> 00:43:26,326
Phony or not,
those tips belong to the police.
572
00:43:26,704 --> 00:43:30,299
When are you going to get rid of the idea
you're wearing an invisible badge?
573
00:43:30,374 --> 00:43:34,140
Julie Allison. Hello, Charlie. How are you?
574
00:43:36,714 --> 00:43:38,181
The Lonely Heart murder?
575
00:43:38,248 --> 00:43:42,844
And you've got to meet me right away.
We have to figure out how to handle this.
576
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,514
I know the killer, and it's dynamite.
577
00:43:46,757 --> 00:43:48,952
Well, Charlie,
that story is really Steve McCleary's.
578
00:43:49,026 --> 00:43:52,587
- I think you'd better talk to...
- No, no, Julie, I want you to have this.
579
00:43:52,663 --> 00:43:55,393
Now I can repay you, Julie child,
for everything.
580
00:43:55,466 --> 00:43:59,596
Julie, this is so... It's so tremendous,
it'll put both of us on top.
581
00:44:02,272 --> 00:44:04,035
What? What, Julie?
582
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:08,835
Okay, okay, both of you meet me.
583
00:44:08,912 --> 00:44:11,540
Maybe we will need
somebody like McCleary.
584
00:44:11,615 --> 00:44:14,175
Steve, Charlie says
he has information on the murder.
585
00:44:14,251 --> 00:44:18,654
- He's awfully excited about something.
- About two quarts full, probably.
586
00:44:19,890 --> 00:44:21,881
Yeah, Charlie, what's up?
587
00:44:22,726 --> 00:44:25,695
I wanted Julie to have this,
but she insists you be on in it.
588
00:44:25,763 --> 00:44:27,663
I mean you be in on it.
589
00:44:27,965 --> 00:44:30,297
- What's the matter, Charlie?
- No.
590
00:44:31,368 --> 00:44:34,462
- What? You're not sore, are you?
- No, go away!
591
00:44:36,006 --> 00:44:38,099
What? What have I got?
592
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:40,939
I've got the Lonely Heart Killer for you,
that's what!
593
00:44:41,011 --> 00:44:44,777
Gee, Charlie, that's great.
You getting him crocked so he'll confess?
594
00:44:44,848 --> 00:44:48,807
I haven't got him. I know who he is.
595
00:44:54,858 --> 00:44:55,950
What?
596
00:44:59,563 --> 00:45:03,465
Yes, I'm in a saloon.
I'm in Heeney's. But I'm not drunk.
597
00:45:04,034 --> 00:45:07,128
I've just taken the hottest story
of the century out of hock, and I'm gonna...
598
00:45:08,038 --> 00:45:11,064
He's really flying tonight.
See what your 10 bucks did?
599
00:45:11,141 --> 00:45:15,009
Stop treating him like some
weak-minded child. Listen to what he's got.
600
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:19,482
- He's not this excited for nothing.
- You know what he's got? The DTs.
601
00:45:19,616 --> 00:45:21,675
Charlie Barnes, tanked to the eyeballs,
602
00:45:21,752 --> 00:45:24,880
says he just took the Lonely Heart
murder solution out of hock.
603
00:45:26,056 --> 00:45:29,583
Hello, Charlie?
Still there? Let's start all over again.
604
00:45:30,294 --> 00:45:34,788
Listen, you mental midget. The only reason
I'm calling the <i>Express</i> is Julie Allison.
605
00:45:34,865 --> 00:45:37,732
Before I'd give this story
to an insolent young pup like you,
606
00:45:37,801 --> 00:45:39,792
I'd take it to the <i>Daily Leader!</i>
607
00:45:39,870 --> 00:45:42,304
Charlie's mad now.
Gonna sell it to the <i>Leader.</i>
608
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:46,069
- Hang up on the drunken slob.
- Julie? She just left.
609
00:45:46,477 --> 00:45:48,570
I guess we'll just have to read your story
in the <i>Leader</i> tomorrow.
610
00:45:48,645 --> 00:45:50,772
- So long, pal.
- Give me that.
611
00:45:51,815 --> 00:45:53,077
- Hello? Hello?
- Don't be silly, Julie.
612
00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:55,141
He'll just keep you up all night
listening to his fairytales.
613
00:45:55,219 --> 00:45:59,349
- Where was he calling from?
- Bellevue psycho ward, I think he said.
614
00:46:00,257 --> 00:46:01,747
Your 10 bucks.
615
00:47:13,697 --> 00:47:15,460
- Keep this for me, Heeney.
- Why, sure, Charlie.
616
00:47:15,532 --> 00:47:17,056
A couple hours.
617
00:47:17,868 --> 00:47:20,359
One more, Heeney. One for the road.
618
00:48:05,215 --> 00:48:06,739
Hello, Charlie.
619
00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:13,617
Mark. I thought you were still down
at the Bowery.
620
00:48:15,692 --> 00:48:18,024
I hear you got a story, Charlie.
621
00:48:18,195 --> 00:48:20,060
Where'd you hear that?
622
00:48:20,597 --> 00:48:25,364
- Isn't that what you told McCleary?
- Why, I was just schmoozing him, I...
623
00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:28,295
Lining him up for a little touch.
624
00:48:28,372 --> 00:48:31,432
I gave you some money.
What did you do with it?
625
00:48:31,775 --> 00:48:33,333
You didn't, by any chance,
find a pawn ticket
626
00:48:33,410 --> 00:48:36,379
- mixed in with the money, did you, Charlie?
- Pawn ticket? Why, I...
627
00:48:36,446 --> 00:48:40,177
Did you use the money
to get the story out of hock, Charlie?
628
00:48:41,218 --> 00:48:44,585
You've got something that belongs to me.
Where is it?
629
00:48:45,389 --> 00:48:47,220
You were on the way to the <i>Leader</i>
with some evidence.
630
00:48:47,291 --> 00:48:49,725
Where is it, Charlie? Where is it?
631
00:49:01,905 --> 00:49:04,738
It's a wonderful story, isn't it, Charlie?
632
00:49:05,509 --> 00:49:07,909
You wanted to be a big man, Mark.
633
00:49:08,745 --> 00:49:12,476
This will make you famous
beyond your most ambitious dreams.
634
00:49:13,884 --> 00:49:18,412
Great story?
I've waited all my life for a story like this.
635
00:49:19,456 --> 00:49:23,483
Well, you've got it, Charlie.
But you're not going to write it.
636
00:49:27,130 --> 00:49:30,622
You're crazy, Mark.
Twenty years you've covered the news.
637
00:49:30,701 --> 00:49:33,761
Seen the bright boys try this. It never works.
638
00:49:56,493 --> 00:49:59,587
We just heard about Charlie Barnes.
Rotten deal.
639
00:50:00,163 --> 00:50:04,293
It's hard when it's someone like Charlie
you've known for 22 years.
640
00:50:04,401 --> 00:50:06,164
I knew him 25 years.
641
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:10,167
I never expected to see him
laying on a slab in this place.
642
00:50:10,507 --> 00:50:15,001
Is that right, Doc? Was he found
in an alleyway across from the <i>Daily Leader?</i>
643
00:50:15,078 --> 00:50:17,205
- Steve...
- Yes, that's right.
644
00:50:17,447 --> 00:50:20,439
The <i>Daily Leader.</i> He had a story!
645
00:50:20,517 --> 00:50:23,509
But he was taking your clever,
insolent, fresh-guy advice
646
00:50:23,587 --> 00:50:27,216
- and giving it to the <i>Leader!</i>
- He was drunk, Julie. How could I know...
647
00:50:27,290 --> 00:50:29,656
Charlie Barnes never got so drunk
he didn't know a story!
648
00:50:29,726 --> 00:50:33,492
Or that he'd try to peddle
a phony tip to a newspaper! But you...
649
00:50:33,563 --> 00:50:35,394
You couldn't bother listening to him!
650
00:50:35,465 --> 00:50:38,798
You and that newsprint hero of yours,
Mark Chapman.
651
00:50:39,269 --> 00:50:41,032
You couldn't expect us to believe
that Charlie Barnes
652
00:50:41,104 --> 00:50:43,129
had any real information
on the murder, Julie.
653
00:50:43,206 --> 00:50:45,231
We still don't know that he did.
654
00:50:45,308 --> 00:50:49,711
If you and that stone-hearted, glory seeking,
"I am the great Mark Chapman"
655
00:50:49,780 --> 00:50:51,771
had thrown Charlie
the miserable crumb of respect
656
00:50:51,848 --> 00:50:54,510
of just listening to him, he'd be alive today!
657
00:50:54,584 --> 00:50:58,748
Julie, maybe you're right.
Maybe it is partly my fault Charlie's dead.
658
00:50:58,822 --> 00:51:01,882
I'm sorry. Really sorry. But what can I do?
659
00:51:02,392 --> 00:51:06,123
Don't go soft! Show Chapman
you're a chip off the old block.
660
00:51:06,596 --> 00:51:08,655
Have him give Charlie a fancy funeral.
661
00:51:08,732 --> 00:51:11,997
Great headline.
"The <i>Express</i> buries its cast-offs."
662
00:51:12,436 --> 00:51:14,097
It'll sell papers!
663
00:51:27,350 --> 00:51:31,912
Kenny, rewrite that one paragraph, will you?
Allison had a bad night. Yeah.
664
00:51:32,289 --> 00:51:35,087
I just got yesterday's figures
from circulation, Mark.
665
00:51:35,158 --> 00:51:38,491
Six hundred and ninety-six thousand.
You're moving up there.
666
00:51:38,562 --> 00:51:41,292
Looks as though it's going to cost
the <i>Express</i> some bonus money before long.
667
00:51:41,364 --> 00:51:44,765
Quicker than you can say,
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Stockholder Rawley!"
668
00:51:44,835 --> 00:51:46,666
We're only starting,
Mr. Madison, only starting.
669
00:51:46,736 --> 00:51:48,260
That's the spirit!
670
00:51:48,338 --> 00:51:50,272
When you get to the editor's chair,
remember one thing.
671
00:51:50,340 --> 00:51:54,743
You're a hero with a lifetime job,
as long as the circulation is rising.
672
00:51:55,045 --> 00:51:59,379
- What have you got there?
- Something that will keep circulation rising.
673
00:51:59,716 --> 00:52:01,581
Charlie Barnes' story.
674
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:04,378
What are you talking about?
675
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:06,820
Charlie wasn't near the <i>Daily Leader</i>
by accident, Mark.
676
00:52:06,890 --> 00:52:08,790
He had something to print.
677
00:52:08,859 --> 00:52:11,419
I couldn't find it in his effects
at the morgue this morning,
678
00:52:11,495 --> 00:52:15,932
but I found it at Heeney's bar,
the joint Charlie phoned from last night.
679
00:52:16,233 --> 00:52:19,134
Half a pawnshop ticket was still on the bag.
680
00:52:19,236 --> 00:52:21,431
Pete's Hock Shop. I checked it.
681
00:52:21,505 --> 00:52:24,838
Charlie came in the pawnshop last night
with a claim check.
682
00:52:24,908 --> 00:52:27,536
Said he was unhocking it for a friend.
683
00:52:28,478 --> 00:52:31,743
Well, what's in the bag?
Miss Lonely Heart's name and address?
684
00:52:32,916 --> 00:52:36,477
Better than that, Mark.
Much better than that.
685
00:52:38,054 --> 00:52:40,579
A picture of the guy who killed her.
686
00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:52,362
A picture?
You can't even see the guy's face!
687
00:52:52,435 --> 00:52:54,596
What's the matter, Mark?
This is the first real lead we've got.
688
00:52:54,671 --> 00:52:56,263
The way you talked,
I thought we had it all sewed up.
689
00:52:56,339 --> 00:52:59,604
Sure, it's a lead, but it's a thin one.
How much does this give us?
690
00:52:59,676 --> 00:53:04,773
Well, we're certain the dame had a husband.
They were married in 1931 in Connecticut.
691
00:53:05,248 --> 00:53:09,048
- The husband's the guy who killed her.
- How do you make that?
692
00:53:09,419 --> 00:53:11,580
The ring mark on her finger
must have been a wedding ring.
693
00:53:11,655 --> 00:53:14,055
The inscription inside
could have identified him.
694
00:53:14,124 --> 00:53:16,388
And he grabbed the pawn ticket
figuring she'd hocked some belongings
695
00:53:16,459 --> 00:53:18,893
- that might peg him.
- Makes sense.
696
00:53:19,396 --> 00:53:22,194
Charlie got the pawn ticket from the killer.
697
00:53:22,265 --> 00:53:25,701
He must have been with him sometime,
someplace, yesterday.
698
00:53:25,769 --> 00:53:28,329
A lot of people
could have seen them together, right?
699
00:53:28,405 --> 00:53:29,770
Could have.
700
00:53:31,141 --> 00:53:33,609
Splash this picture
on the front page tonight.
701
00:53:33,677 --> 00:53:35,975
Offer a reward for information.
702
00:53:39,149 --> 00:53:41,674
"Lonely Heart Killer strikes again."
703
00:53:43,153 --> 00:53:45,246
When you write the story,
say that Barnes was working on this case
704
00:53:45,322 --> 00:53:46,346
undercover for the <i>Express.</i>
705
00:53:46,423 --> 00:53:49,620
He got too close to the killer
and died in the line of duty.
706
00:53:49,693 --> 00:53:50,887
Mark, I don't know, it...
707
00:53:50,961 --> 00:53:54,863
Nobody can deny it. It'll help sell papers.
We'll offer $1,000.
708
00:53:55,232 --> 00:53:58,360
Look, kid, don't pin your hopes
on anybody being able
709
00:53:58,435 --> 00:54:02,030
to spot the guy from this.
Unless they got x-ray eyes.
710
00:54:02,339 --> 00:54:04,034
I'm sure Charlie connected
the guy in the picture
711
00:54:04,107 --> 00:54:08,601
with the bird who gave him the pawn ticket.
I'm going to fine-tooth the Bowery myself.
712
00:54:08,678 --> 00:54:11,374
It's even money
that's where Charlie ran into our man.
713
00:54:11,448 --> 00:54:12,972
Good luck, kid.
714
00:54:44,314 --> 00:54:47,875
- Well, I got them for you, McCleary.
- Good work, Heeney.
715
00:55:05,368 --> 00:55:09,634
Well, this does it. I'll never touch
another drop the rest of my life.
716
00:55:17,547 --> 00:55:19,515
'Course some of them
been sucking on the bottle all night,
717
00:55:19,582 --> 00:55:21,516
but they can still stand up.
718
00:55:21,584 --> 00:55:24,747
- They all knew Charlie?
- Yeah, they all knew him.
719
00:55:25,088 --> 00:55:29,081
If you give McCleary here
any bum information, I'll brain you.
720
00:55:29,793 --> 00:55:31,818
And I might even do worse.
721
00:55:31,961 --> 00:55:35,522
No more free shots
when you're seeing little red spiders.
722
00:55:35,999 --> 00:55:40,095
How many of you boys saw Charlie Barnes
the day he was killed? Raise your hands.
723
00:55:40,170 --> 00:55:44,197
All right, raise your mitts,
them that seen Charlie day before yesterday.
724
00:55:44,274 --> 00:55:45,366
Good.
725
00:55:48,478 --> 00:55:50,446
- Where did you see him?
- See who?
726
00:55:50,513 --> 00:55:54,279
- This guy must be used to talking to mirrors.
- Charlie Barnes.
727
00:55:54,351 --> 00:55:58,253
I seen him come out of a joint
where he flopped in the morning.
728
00:56:00,824 --> 00:56:02,815
You, where'd you see him?
729
00:56:03,460 --> 00:56:05,826
- Humpty O'Dougal's saloon.
- What time?
730
00:56:05,895 --> 00:56:10,389
In the afternoon. Late in the afternoon.
Charlie had a nice little bun on.
731
00:56:10,934 --> 00:56:11,992
Was he with anybody?
732
00:56:12,068 --> 00:56:14,036
With anybody?
Sure, he was with somebody.
733
00:56:14,104 --> 00:56:16,834
Charlie never drank by himself
if he had a little cash on him.
734
00:56:16,906 --> 00:56:19,966
- Well, do you know the guy he was with?
- Certainly I know who he was with.
735
00:56:20,043 --> 00:56:23,206
- Well, who was it?
- Me. He sprung me three slugs.
736
00:56:29,686 --> 00:56:32,678
When did you see him?
When did you see him?
737
00:56:36,159 --> 00:56:38,491
- This morning.
- Throw him out of here.
738
00:56:38,561 --> 00:56:41,086
- Wait a minute!
- What are you talking about?
739
00:56:41,164 --> 00:56:44,691
- Now, is there any more jokers in the crowd?
- I seen him.
740
00:56:45,735 --> 00:56:49,136
Yeah? Well, go on. Where'd you see him?
741
00:56:51,074 --> 00:56:53,770
On the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
742
00:56:53,843 --> 00:56:57,472
- Go on, go on.
- Nothing. He was working a sucker.
743
00:56:58,014 --> 00:57:01,177
- Giving him the pally act, that's all.
- Now think hard.
744
00:57:01,251 --> 00:57:04,243
Do you remember the sucker?
Do you remember what he looks like?
745
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,754
- Maybe.
- What do you mean, "Maybe"?
746
00:57:06,890 --> 00:57:10,826
- Maybe for 50 bucks.
- Why you...
747
00:57:11,995 --> 00:57:15,362
Do you think you could remember
for 1,000 bucks?
748
00:57:17,267 --> 00:57:19,258
Who could tell who he is?
749
00:57:19,469 --> 00:57:22,461
Can you describe
the man you saw Charlie with?
750
00:57:22,906 --> 00:57:26,273
Do I get $1,000 if I do?
751
00:57:26,443 --> 00:57:28,968
You do. If and when we find the guy.
752
00:57:29,379 --> 00:57:32,212
- Sure, I can describe him.
- Well, go ahead.
753
00:57:34,918 --> 00:57:37,819
- You paying the reward?
- No, but my boss is.
754
00:57:38,655 --> 00:57:41,647
- Then I'll describe it to him.
- Okay. Come on.
755
00:57:41,791 --> 00:57:44,385
Rush this over to the composing room.
756
00:57:44,761 --> 00:57:48,492
Kenny, see if you can figure out
a heading for that rubbish.
757
00:57:48,698 --> 00:57:50,723
Connie! Connie, take this.
758
00:57:58,475 --> 00:57:59,806
Wait here.
759
00:58:13,623 --> 00:58:15,318
Look, Lieutenant,
just refer the captain to me.
760
00:58:15,391 --> 00:58:18,189
I'll tell him he's cropping at the best
homicide man he ever had on the force.
761
00:58:18,261 --> 00:58:20,491
If he doesn't know that,
he's deaf, dumb and blind.
762
00:58:20,563 --> 00:58:22,861
Yeah, never mind the malarkey, Chapman!
763
00:58:22,932 --> 00:58:24,900
The next time
you people pull a stunt like this,
764
00:58:24,968 --> 00:58:27,596
I'll throw both you and McCleary in the can!
765
00:58:28,271 --> 00:58:31,832
Okay, Lieutenant, okay.
I give you my word. Goodbye, pal.
766
00:58:33,042 --> 00:58:35,340
Davis is screaming because we gave him
the suitcase only a half hour
767
00:58:35,411 --> 00:58:36,878
before he read it in the <i>Express.</i>
768
00:58:36,946 --> 00:58:39,437
Well, I've got something
that ought to make him happy again.
769
00:58:39,516 --> 00:58:40,744
Not another suitcase?
770
00:58:40,817 --> 00:58:44,776
A guy who can identify the man
Charlie got the pawn ticket from.
771
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:51,384
Hey, Bailey. Come in here.
772
00:59:00,103 --> 00:59:03,561
He wouldn't describe the guy to me.
He needed the boss.
773
00:59:06,643 --> 00:59:08,304
You the boss?
774
00:59:09,379 --> 00:59:13,611
Yeah, and don't waste my time.
Where'd you see this guy with Charlie?
775
00:59:15,818 --> 00:59:18,446
Down the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
776
00:59:19,956 --> 00:59:22,151
You say you can describe him?
777
00:59:41,844 --> 00:59:44,335
Well, go on. What did he look like?
778
00:59:54,057 --> 00:59:55,786
Stand up, will you?
779
01:00:04,467 --> 01:00:07,766
Yeah, just how I figured.
780
01:00:08,805 --> 01:00:10,432
You figured what?
781
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,272
He was your size,
782
01:00:17,313 --> 01:00:18,678
your build.
783
01:00:19,115 --> 01:00:21,345
Could have been as old as you.
784
01:00:21,951 --> 01:00:26,217
- Is that all?
- All you asked me was to describe him.
785
01:00:26,723 --> 01:00:30,625
That was no description!
That could fit a million guys in this town.
786
01:00:30,693 --> 01:00:34,060
- Even me.
- Well, how about the reward?
787
01:00:34,130 --> 01:00:38,123
Here, take this down to the cashier
and pick yourself up five bucks.
788
01:00:38,201 --> 01:00:41,261
- Show him where it is, Steve.
- Come on, Bailey.
789
01:01:30,186 --> 01:01:31,517
Hey, Baxter, where's Julie?
790
01:01:31,587 --> 01:01:34,078
She came in this morning,
banged this out on her typewriter,
791
01:01:34,157 --> 01:01:36,216
and told me to give it to Chapman.
792
01:01:36,292 --> 01:01:38,385
- What is it?
- Her resignation.
793
01:01:38,461 --> 01:01:42,261
I figured I'd hang onto it a day or so.
Maybe she'd cool off.
794
01:01:42,632 --> 01:01:46,261
I'm sure glad you did.
I'll take care of it for you, okay?
795
01:01:49,238 --> 01:01:50,762
Baxter, thanks.
796
01:02:00,883 --> 01:02:03,647
- Hello, Mrs. Allison.
- Well, hello, Steve. Come in.
797
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,051
Thank you.
798
01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:14,458
I have a pot of coffee in the kitchen.
I'd better see to it.
799
01:02:14,664 --> 01:02:16,564
Can I say a few words to you?
800
01:02:16,632 --> 01:02:19,533
Without getting hit with a table
or something?
801
01:02:19,602 --> 01:02:22,230
Speak your piece and get it over with.
802
01:02:22,338 --> 01:02:25,535
I just got rocked
with a bad piece of news, Julie.
803
01:02:25,742 --> 01:02:28,040
I heard about your resignation.
804
01:02:28,444 --> 01:02:31,845
Well, I can't imagine
why you'd shed any tears over it.
805
01:02:31,914 --> 01:02:33,211
Well, for what it's worth,
806
01:02:33,282 --> 01:02:36,308
your resigning knocks the props
out of a lot of things for me.
807
01:02:37,754 --> 01:02:40,655
That couldn't have come
from Steve McCleary.
808
01:02:41,791 --> 01:02:44,851
Okay, pass it. But I didn't figure
your burn at Chapman and me
809
01:02:44,927 --> 01:02:48,454
would be bigger than your wanting
to do something about Charlie's murder.
810
01:02:49,632 --> 01:02:52,829
Don't start playing me
for a hollow-headed female now, Steve.
811
01:02:52,902 --> 01:02:55,871
Your only interest, and Chapman's,
in Charlie's death is exploiting it
812
01:02:55,938 --> 01:02:59,601
- for all the circulation jumping it's worth!
- Julie, I'm not digging on a story now
813
01:02:59,675 --> 01:03:03,577
just for the school-boy bang of seeing
my name over a sensational yarn.
814
01:03:03,646 --> 01:03:06,672
Yeah, that's right, I had to get hit pretty hard
before I smartened up.
815
01:03:06,749 --> 01:03:09,309
But now I'm leveling
on the Charlie Barnes business.
816
01:03:13,422 --> 01:03:18,257
Well, if I can believe what I'm hearing,
this certainly is a different McCleary.
817
01:03:19,328 --> 01:03:20,955
I've been working night and day.
818
01:03:21,030 --> 01:03:24,227
All I've done is run the local leads
to a dead end.
819
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:29,294
There's only one gimmick left to follow.
This picture, the marriage in Connecticut.
820
01:03:29,472 --> 01:03:33,067
It's odd the person who married them
hasn't recognized it.
821
01:03:33,142 --> 01:03:36,077
Unless he's dead or hasn't seen the picture.
822
01:03:36,579 --> 01:03:40,310
Yeah, I thought of that angle, too.
But it's a million-to-one shot.
823
01:03:40,383 --> 01:03:43,716
A guy would have to be an elephant
to remember a face after 21 years.
824
01:03:44,787 --> 01:03:48,314
Tell him about the elephant we met
on Fifth Avenue, about four years ago.
825
01:03:48,391 --> 01:03:50,791
We were walking along the street when,
right out of the blue,
826
01:03:50,860 --> 01:03:53,021
a complete stranger stopped me.
827
01:03:53,095 --> 01:03:56,656
It turned out to be the little preacher
who married Julie's father and me
828
01:03:56,732 --> 01:03:59,724
in Portland, Maine, 23 years before!
829
01:04:01,404 --> 01:04:06,603
- And he actually was able to recognize you?
- And I'd put on a little weight since then.
830
01:04:07,210 --> 01:04:10,270
They say a New Englander
seldom forgets a face.
831
01:04:10,980 --> 01:04:13,813
Crazy odds, but what can we lose?
832
01:04:15,051 --> 01:04:16,416
Yeah, get this picture
833
01:04:16,485 --> 01:04:19,750
to every churchman, judge
and justice of the peace in Connecticut.
834
01:04:19,822 --> 01:04:24,259
- It's certainly worth trying.
- It's a big job. Compiling lists,
835
01:04:24,527 --> 01:04:26,620
- checking out leads.
- It can be done.
836
01:04:26,696 --> 01:04:28,687
The two of us could handle it, Julie.
837
01:04:29,732 --> 01:04:32,667
Well, I'd like to, Steve, but I've resigned.
838
01:04:32,735 --> 01:04:36,637
And I'd sooner drop dead
than ask Mark Chapman for my job back.
839
01:04:43,312 --> 01:04:45,803
- You dog!
- It never got past Baxter.
840
01:04:46,883 --> 01:04:48,908
A list of churches in each town
is no problem.
841
01:04:48,985 --> 01:04:52,318
The judges and JPs we can get
from the state legal directory in Hartford.
842
01:04:52,388 --> 01:04:54,720
Yeah, you start packing.
Enough for a couple of weeks.
843
01:04:54,790 --> 01:04:56,451
I'm going to the office
and get the lab boys started
844
01:04:56,525 --> 01:04:57,787
on knocking out a few hundred circulars.
845
01:04:57,860 --> 01:05:00,260
But suppose Chapman says no
to my working with you on it?
846
01:05:00,329 --> 01:05:03,492
Why should he? Anyway, I'm not going
to tell him anything until we're ready to go.
847
01:05:03,566 --> 01:05:04,658
Tonight sometime.
848
01:05:04,734 --> 01:05:08,898
Mom, you think it's safe for me to travel
out of state at night with this young man?
849
01:05:08,971 --> 01:05:12,702
Just so he doesn't misconstrue
the meaning of "freedom of the press."
850
01:05:12,775 --> 01:05:16,336
Hey, you wonderful woman.
I'll check with you for dinner.
851
01:05:21,417 --> 01:05:23,544
Steve, this is shot-in-the-dark stuff.
852
01:05:23,619 --> 01:05:26,452
Mark, more rabbit-brained ideas than this
have paid off.
853
01:05:26,522 --> 01:05:28,956
Your hottest lead is right here in town
where the murders were committed.
854
01:05:29,025 --> 01:05:32,290
Yeah, our hottest lead was in town,
but it dried up like a puddle in July.
855
01:05:32,361 --> 01:05:33,589
You're looking for a mental marvel,
856
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:36,154
a guy who can recognize somebody
he'd seen for 15 or 20 minutes
857
01:05:36,232 --> 01:05:38,757
at a wedding ceremony
he performed 21 years ago.
858
01:05:38,834 --> 01:05:41,394
How do we know he only saw them
for 15 or 20 minutes?
859
01:05:41,470 --> 01:05:44,200
Maybe they were members of his church
or were married by a judge
860
01:05:44,273 --> 01:05:46,298
or a justice in their own town.
861
01:05:46,375 --> 01:05:48,605
Steve, you're off
on a needle-in-a-haystack hunt.
862
01:05:48,678 --> 01:05:51,078
You can find a needle in a haystack
if you look long enough.
863
01:05:51,147 --> 01:05:53,775
You don't think I'm gonna let you
hang around up there indefinitely, do you?
864
01:05:53,849 --> 01:05:55,680
You won't have to. A week, probably.
865
01:05:55,751 --> 01:05:58,982
Julie Allison's coming along to help me.
It's all arranged.
866
01:05:59,055 --> 01:06:02,456
It's all arranged. And that five grand reward.
You arranged that, too?
867
01:06:02,525 --> 01:06:06,586
No, you did, or will.
Mark, what's eating you?
868
01:06:07,096 --> 01:06:09,257
I'm only checking out every possible angle.
869
01:06:09,332 --> 01:06:11,061
Kid, I don't want you to beat your brains out.
870
01:06:11,133 --> 01:06:13,033
We can get just so much
out of this Lonely Hearts story,
871
01:06:13,102 --> 01:06:16,128
and then we'll start easing it off
and let it die a natural death.
872
01:06:16,205 --> 01:06:19,368
Let it die? Mark, we let Charlie Barnes die!
873
01:06:20,509 --> 01:06:22,909
The least we can do now is to find his killer.
874
01:06:23,679 --> 01:06:26,443
You're the guy who pounded into me,
"Never give up till you've got the story."
875
01:06:26,515 --> 01:06:28,449
Well, I'm not quitting on this one
until I've licked it.
876
01:06:28,517 --> 01:06:30,985
You can reach me
at the Lenox Hotel in Hartford.
877
01:06:56,579 --> 01:06:57,978
Long distance.
878
01:06:58,047 --> 01:06:59,844
I want some information.
879
01:06:59,915 --> 01:07:01,906
A telephone number
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
880
01:07:01,984 --> 01:07:05,181
The name is Hacker. He's a judge.
I don't remember his first name.
881
01:07:05,254 --> 01:07:07,222
You wish to place a call to this party?
882
01:07:07,289 --> 01:07:10,383
No, no. Not yet, that is.
I just want to get his telephone number.
883
01:07:10,459 --> 01:07:12,188
<i>One moment, please.</i>
884
01:07:16,799 --> 01:07:20,235
Hello? The Middlebury operator
has no listing for anyone by that name.
885
01:07:21,037 --> 01:07:22,436
There isn't?
886
01:07:23,305 --> 01:07:25,296
Middlebury's a small town.
Will you ask the operator
887
01:07:25,374 --> 01:07:26,966
if she knows anything
about Judge Hacker at all?
888
01:07:27,043 --> 01:07:29,273
Is he deceased, moved away, or what?
889
01:07:29,345 --> 01:07:31,074
<i>One moment, please.</i>
890
01:07:35,518 --> 01:07:38,510
Hello? The local operator
has been in Middlebury for five years
891
01:07:38,587 --> 01:07:40,646
and knows no one
by the name of Judge Hacker.
892
01:07:40,723 --> 01:07:42,384
That's all the information she can give us.
893
01:07:43,959 --> 01:07:45,153
Thanks.
894
01:08:32,908 --> 01:08:35,308
No, Reverend,
I'm afraid that's not our couple.
895
01:08:36,412 --> 01:08:39,040
You may be positive, Reverend,
but you're mistaken.
896
01:08:39,115 --> 01:08:41,515
The woman in the photo we sent you
is dead.
897
01:08:41,584 --> 01:08:43,916
Thank you for calling, Reverend.
898
01:08:46,288 --> 01:08:48,153
You don't have to tell me.
899
01:08:48,224 --> 01:08:50,852
It's written all over
your bright and shining face.
900
01:08:50,926 --> 01:08:53,759
A 190-mile drive
to have a whack-head tell me
901
01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:56,423
that both the people in our circular
died a year ago.
902
01:08:57,766 --> 01:09:01,896
New Englanders remember, all right.
Every face is familiar to them.
903
01:09:04,406 --> 01:09:07,671
Hello? Just a minute, here's Steve.
904
01:09:08,110 --> 01:09:10,340
It's that man again. Every day.
905
01:09:10,412 --> 01:09:13,313
Does he think we'll keep it a big fat secret
if we find something?
906
01:09:15,284 --> 01:09:16,649
Yeah, Mark.
907
01:09:18,487 --> 01:09:20,819
Nothing but an aching back
and some interesting meetings
908
01:09:20,890 --> 01:09:22,824
with jelly-brained screwballs.
909
01:09:22,892 --> 01:09:26,555
You've had enough time, Steve. Ten days.
Admit it's a dud. Come on home.
910
01:09:26,629 --> 01:09:29,325
Two more days, Mark.
We'll stick it out to the end of the week.
911
01:09:29,899 --> 01:09:33,391
Get out of the haystack. It's easier
to find the needles at the scene of the crime.
912
01:09:33,469 --> 01:09:34,936
I'll see you.
913
01:09:35,771 --> 01:09:39,832
Two more days. I don't even know myself
why we're sticking around.
914
01:09:41,043 --> 01:09:42,772
Anything there that sounds good?
915
01:09:44,180 --> 01:09:47,946
I'll read you a fair sample.
From a J.P. Waterbury.
916
01:09:49,084 --> 01:09:52,451
"Send me $5,000
and I will tell you names of people."
917
01:09:52,655 --> 01:09:54,646
A new head I'll send him.
918
01:09:55,658 --> 01:09:58,320
I've got a headache.
I think I'll lie down for a while.
919
01:09:59,728 --> 01:10:01,855
Why don't you lie down here?
920
01:10:07,269 --> 01:10:08,998
I'll go to my room.
921
01:10:15,344 --> 01:10:17,744
McCleary. Okay, put him on.
922
01:10:18,681 --> 01:10:20,808
A guy calling from Franklin.
923
01:10:21,283 --> 01:10:23,308
Hello? Yeah, that's right.
924
01:10:25,955 --> 01:10:27,149
You do, huh?
925
01:10:29,258 --> 01:10:31,590
- You've got what?
- What is it?
926
01:10:31,827 --> 01:10:35,456
- Just a minute.
- I have the other picture right before me!
927
01:10:35,864 --> 01:10:41,131
Yes, I married them July 19th, 1931,
over in Middlebury.
928
01:10:42,438 --> 01:10:44,702
A funny thing. What's that?
929
01:10:48,143 --> 01:10:49,872
Judge Elroy Hacker.
930
01:10:50,379 --> 01:10:52,404
We'll be there in two hours, Judge.
931
01:10:52,481 --> 01:10:54,244
Sit tight
and keep your mouth shut about this.
932
01:10:54,316 --> 01:10:55,374
Bye.
933
01:10:55,584 --> 01:10:59,247
Go on, get packed.
He's liable to drop dead on us or something.
934
01:11:55,110 --> 01:11:58,102
For a man who can sit there
and watch his success increasing daily,
935
01:11:58,180 --> 01:12:00,011
you're looking much too troubled, Mark.
936
01:12:00,082 --> 01:12:03,210
It's just that these minor problems
always seem to require major thinking.
937
01:12:03,285 --> 01:12:06,379
Well, perhaps we can balance
the unpleasant with the pleasant.
938
01:12:06,455 --> 01:12:09,390
That conversation we had the other day
about your buying company stock.
939
01:12:09,458 --> 01:12:10,823
- Yeah?
- I just thought I'd tell you,
940
01:12:10,893 --> 01:12:14,920
- I think we can swing that.
- That's fine, Mr. Madison, just great.
941
01:12:14,997 --> 01:12:17,659
Well, there doesn't seem to be any doubt
you'll reach that bonus figure.
942
01:12:17,733 --> 01:12:19,064
It'll be pleasant having you as a partner,
943
01:12:19,134 --> 01:12:20,863
- so to speak, in the paper, Mark.
- Thanks.
944
01:12:20,936 --> 01:12:22,801
- Good night.
- Good night.
945
01:14:17,953 --> 01:14:19,147
Sorry to keep you this late, Mark,
946
01:14:19,221 --> 01:14:21,621
but we got hit with a mess of traffic
on the way in.
947
01:14:21,690 --> 01:14:23,157
Your wire sounded important.
948
01:14:23,225 --> 01:14:26,456
I found that needle,
or rather the man with the needle.
949
01:14:26,528 --> 01:14:29,725
Judge Elroy Hacker,
Mark Chapman, Managing Editor.
950
01:14:29,865 --> 01:14:32,925
- Glad to meet you, Judge.
- How do, Mr. Chapman?
951
01:14:33,902 --> 01:14:35,893
- Sit down, Judge.
- Thanks.
952
01:14:36,772 --> 01:14:38,672
Does the judge's needle sew anything up?
953
01:14:38,740 --> 01:14:41,231
Everything but knotting the thread
at the end.
954
01:14:41,310 --> 01:14:42,937
I mean the noose.
955
01:14:44,046 --> 01:14:45,240
What have you got?
956
01:14:45,314 --> 01:14:48,511
The identity of Mrs. Lonely Heart
and her husband.
957
01:14:49,117 --> 01:14:51,711
Judge Hacker married them
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
958
01:14:51,787 --> 01:14:54,688
Their names are Charlotte and George Grant.
959
01:14:58,827 --> 01:14:59,953
Did you get that, Mark?
960
01:15:00,028 --> 01:15:03,327
The name of the Lonely Heart Killer
is George Grant.
961
01:15:03,699 --> 01:15:05,530
Yeah, I heard you. Go on.
962
01:15:05,601 --> 01:15:08,229
Strike two. The judge is sure
he can identify George Grant
963
01:15:08,303 --> 01:15:10,203
when he sees him again.
964
01:15:10,806 --> 01:15:13,969
You see, I took this picture myself.
965
01:15:14,710 --> 01:15:17,338
A little extra service
the judge gave his bridal couples.
966
01:15:17,412 --> 01:15:20,711
Yes. I'd send them a print
and put one in my own scrapbook.
967
01:15:20,782 --> 01:15:22,579
The judge even furnished
the "just married" sign.
968
01:15:22,651 --> 01:15:24,118
Judge, you said
you married them in Middlebury,
969
01:15:24,186 --> 01:15:27,883
- but Steve found you in Franklin.
- I retired seven years ago.
970
01:15:27,956 --> 01:15:31,323
I'm partial to fishing,
so I moved over on the coast.
971
01:15:32,027 --> 01:15:34,928
I only happened
to see your circular by chance,
972
01:15:34,997 --> 01:15:37,830
in the office of a justice friend of mine.
973
01:15:40,602 --> 01:15:43,571
I always said you were born
in a field of shamrocks.
974
01:15:43,639 --> 01:15:47,769
Sure. The McClearys raised their kids
on nothing but rabbits' feet.
975
01:15:48,410 --> 01:15:52,471
Judge, what makes you so sure
you can identify George Grant today?
976
01:15:54,383 --> 01:15:57,250
Well, mainly because right after
I took that wedding picture,
977
01:15:57,319 --> 01:16:00,482
this Grant got vexed at his wife
about something.
978
01:16:01,590 --> 01:16:05,651
I can remember his voice, snapping at her.
His face getting red...
979
01:16:07,696 --> 01:16:11,598
I know what's in your bonnet, Mark.
We still have to find George Grant.
980
01:16:11,667 --> 01:16:14,363
A needle's nothing but a hunk of steel
if you've got nothing to sew.
981
01:16:14,436 --> 01:16:15,801
We just need the thread.
982
01:16:15,871 --> 01:16:18,203
I figure we'll pick that up
right here in New York.
983
01:16:18,273 --> 01:16:21,367
When the police line up all the local
George Grants for the judge to look over.
984
01:16:23,745 --> 01:16:27,416
That's Julie. I dropped her off
at headquarters to tell Davis what we've got.
985
01:16:29,251 --> 01:16:32,618
Friend Davis is steaming
like a pressure cooker, as I said he would.
986
01:16:32,688 --> 01:16:33,746
He'll simmer down.
987
01:16:33,822 --> 01:16:36,484
So will your
lining up the George Grants idea.
988
01:16:36,558 --> 01:16:40,255
Davis says he'll do nothing until you turn
Judge Hacker over to the police.
989
01:16:40,329 --> 01:16:42,763
- Steve, you can't hold...
- Relax, doll. He'll see the judge later.
990
01:16:42,831 --> 01:16:44,924
Not tonight he won't.
The judge is our exclusive beat.
991
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,230
Nobody gets to him
till our story breaks tomorrow.
992
01:16:47,302 --> 01:16:49,031
I don't trust cops.
993
01:16:51,607 --> 01:16:52,904
You and Julie start writing the story.
994
01:16:52,975 --> 01:16:56,308
I'll put the judge in a side-street hotel
where nobody will get to him.
995
01:16:56,378 --> 01:16:57,902
Come on, Judge.
996
01:17:01,316 --> 01:17:03,648
I'll just wait for Mr. McCleary.
997
01:17:04,987 --> 01:17:06,921
He was going to put me up at his place.
998
01:17:06,989 --> 01:17:08,581
That's the first place
the wolves will start baying.
999
01:17:08,657 --> 01:17:10,921
You better come with me, Judge.
1000
01:17:10,993 --> 01:17:15,157
No, I don't think it would be wise
for me to go with you, Mr. Grant.
1001
01:17:15,731 --> 01:17:18,325
- Mister...
- Chapman, Judge. Not Grant.
1002
01:17:18,734 --> 01:17:21,294
You'd better give your brain a rest.
You're gonna need it.
1003
01:17:21,370 --> 01:17:22,735
He may be Chapman now,
1004
01:17:22,804 --> 01:17:27,104
but 21 years ago, when I married them,
he was George Grant.
1005
01:17:27,509 --> 01:17:29,534
And he was a newspaperman.
1006
01:17:30,379 --> 01:17:34,145
I remember now. He said he worked
on the paper over in Waterford.
1007
01:17:34,216 --> 01:17:37,549
Waterford, Connecticut, was that town
I couldn't think of.
1008
01:17:37,619 --> 01:17:40,110
But I knew I'd remember that voice.
1009
01:17:40,422 --> 01:17:44,586
His face... You've changed.
But it's the same man.
1010
01:17:45,060 --> 01:17:48,086
You remember that $5,000 reward, though,
don't you, Judge?
1011
01:17:48,163 --> 01:17:51,428
Judge. This is impossible.
You're getting confused.
1012
01:17:51,633 --> 01:17:54,864
He sounds to me as though
he knows exactly what he's saying.
1013
01:17:54,936 --> 01:17:57,837
This is idiotic!
Screwball, crackbrained lunacy!
1014
01:17:57,906 --> 01:18:01,364
And that's just the kind of a witness
the judge is going to make, too, Steve.
1015
01:18:01,443 --> 01:18:03,240
The police have that specimen
of hair and flesh
1016
01:18:03,311 --> 01:18:05,905
found under Mrs. Grant's fingernails.
1017
01:18:06,348 --> 01:18:09,283
I think we'd better get in touch with Davis.
1018
01:18:09,551 --> 01:18:11,212
No phone, Allison.
1019
01:18:21,797 --> 01:18:26,359
Julie pegged you right off.
But me, still wet behind the ears McCleary.
1020
01:18:27,235 --> 01:18:29,328
I went for the sleigh ride.
1021
01:18:29,971 --> 01:18:35,409
I practically built the pedestal for Chapman.
The great newspaperman. The great guy.
1022
01:18:36,778 --> 01:18:41,545
There ought to be a special Pulitzer Prize
for the world's biggest sucker, McCleary.
1023
01:18:41,616 --> 01:18:44,141
Just another one of your stupid slobs!
1024
01:18:44,219 --> 01:18:45,948
Things happen, Steve,
and then there's just no end.
1025
01:18:46,021 --> 01:18:47,921
Killing my wife was an accident.
1026
01:18:47,989 --> 01:18:51,823
And Charlie. Charlie Barnes,
who never hurt a fly in his life.
1027
01:18:52,294 --> 01:18:54,057
A washed-up drunken rummy
who had nothing to live for
1028
01:18:54,129 --> 01:18:55,790
against a career
that was just reaching its prime.
1029
01:18:55,864 --> 01:18:59,322
- It wasn't an even exchange.
- You've got a great career ahead of you now.
1030
01:18:59,401 --> 01:19:02,302
That's all down the drain.
I gotta to make different plans now.
1031
01:19:02,370 --> 01:19:04,736
You should have started running
when you got my wire, sucker!
1032
01:19:04,806 --> 01:19:06,501
I gambled.
The stakes are big enough, you don't run
1033
01:19:06,575 --> 01:19:10,443
unless there's nothing else left to do.
Don't try it, kid.
1034
01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:30,190
Steve!
1035
01:19:50,986 --> 01:19:53,011
We're just too close, kid.
1036
01:19:57,292 --> 01:20:02,059
I figured I'd find you birds here.
Still playing me for a pushover, aren't you?
1037
01:20:04,032 --> 01:20:06,227
Steve, you remember how I told you
1038
01:20:06,301 --> 01:20:09,464
that someday you'd run into
a really great story?
1039
01:20:09,905 --> 01:20:11,736
Well, this one ought to do it, huh?
1040
01:20:12,474 --> 01:20:14,374
Yeah, this one will do.
1041
01:20:14,976 --> 01:20:16,603
I'll give you the lead on it.
1042
01:20:17,846 --> 01:20:18,972
"The elusive Lonely Heart Killer,
1043
01:20:19,047 --> 01:20:20,708

1044
01:20:20,782 --> 01:20:23,774

1045
01:20:25,387 --> 01:20:27,321

1046
01:20:27,389 --> 01:20:30,449

01:20:32,994 --> 01:20:35,827
"Managing Editor of the <i>New York Express."</i>
1049
01:20:37,766 --> 01:20:42,601
- Write it up big, kid. It'll sell a lot of papers.
- All right, drop it, Chapman.

Mark Chapman, editor of the New York Express, has made the newspaper a success by pursuing sensationalism and yellow journalism. His protégé is ace reporter Steve McCleary, while successful feature writer Julie Allison is frustrated by the paper's drift towards raking the muck. One night, during a lonely hearts dance organized by the Express, Chapman's estranged wife confronts him and demands that he visit her hotel room. It is revealed that Chapman's real name is George Grant, and he abandoned his wife decades earlier, changing his identity. When Chapman rebuffs her efforts toward reconciliation, she threatens to publicize his real identity. Chapman tries to restrain her, accidentally killing her in the scuffle.
Chapman attempts to cover up his crime, posing the scene to look like an accident. The police initially believe she slipped in the bathtub, but McCleary begins covering the case, and his reporting reveals it was a murder. McCleary is eager to run the story, and Chapman must acquiesce to avoid suspicion. The "mystery" murderer is dubbed the "Lonely Hearts Killer." Charlie Barnes, an alcoholic former star reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner, stumbles upon the dead woman's suitcase, in which he finds wedding photographs showing Chapman (then Grant) and his wife. He realizes that Chapman must be the killer. Barnes contacts Allison, who has been kind to him, attempting to give her the scoop, but Chapman overhears the conversation. He intercepts and kills Barnes before he can reveal the truth to a rival publication. This act only increases public interest in the story of the Lonely Hearts Killer, much to Chapman's frustration.
Assisted by Allison, McCleary continues to track down clues and leads. Eventually he locates another photo from Chapman/Grant's wedding, although the groom is shot in profile and it is not obvious that it is Chapman. McCleary and Allison travel to Connecticut to find the judge who married the murdered woman and the man in the photograph. After a week of searching, they identify the judge who conducted the marriage. They bring him back to the newspaper building, where he identifies Chapman as the groom and thus the Lonely Hearts Killer. McCleary is incredulous, but Allison puts the pieces together and the desperate Chapman pulls a gun on them. The police arrive, and Chapman cannot bring himself to shoot McCleary. Instead, he gives McCleary his blessing to publish all details of his crimes and then commits suicide by cop.

1
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,468
I know how you feel, lady.
2
00:01:52,545 --> 00:01:54,445
Just take your time
and tell me what happened.
3
00:01:54,514 --> 00:01:57,915
He had this meat ax, her blood all over it.
4
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:03,187
My brother-in-law had it.
Blood all over his hands, all over his shirt.
5
00:02:03,389 --> 00:02:05,687
I can't talk about it, Officer.
6
00:02:05,859 --> 00:02:08,851
I know it's rough, lady,
but I have to have the facts.
7
00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:14,298
He comes staggering out in the hall.
He says, "I did it. Call the cops."
8
00:02:15,101 --> 00:02:16,125
And then he...
9
00:02:16,202 --> 00:02:19,467
Snap it up, Captain.
Lieutenant Davis just blew in.
10
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,303
What's he going to do, Officer?
11
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:25,003
- I'm not a cop, lady.
- But you said...
12
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:27,610
All I said was,
"I had to ask you some questions."
13
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,079
I'm from the <i>Express.</i>
14
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:33,984
You made me go through all that.
Why, you're not decent! You're not human!
15
00:02:34,754 --> 00:02:38,121
- Sorry, lady. All part of the job.
- Well, well, Lieutenant Davis.
16
00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:42,252
- Say, this must have been a homicide.
- Hi, Lieutenant. Wait till you hear it.
17
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:45,092
- A messy one.
- You keep pulling stuff like this, McCleary,
18
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:50,193
and so help me, if it's the last thing I do,
I'll run you in! Now, that's a warning!
19
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:18,591
This is KL-75263. Get me Plaza-52099.
20
00:03:19,532 --> 00:03:24,401
You know, that wasn't a bad-Iooking dame.
Too bad the guy used an ax on her head.
21
00:03:25,271 --> 00:03:27,796
Spoiled some pretty pictures for me.
22
00:03:28,908 --> 00:03:31,877
Hey, Mark, have you put on the gloves
with those stockholders yet?
23
00:03:32,178 --> 00:03:34,203
Hi. No, I'm just taping up my hands.
24
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,976
<i>Well, you can tell them we got</i>
<i>another neat and gory one coming up.</i>
25
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:39,177
<i>Hatchet murder. Lower East Side tenement.</i>
26
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:41,652
<i>Wrapped up an exclusive interview</i>
<i>with an eyewitness.</i>
27
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:43,211
You got plenty of art?
28
00:03:43,289 --> 00:03:45,052
Yeah. Biddle grabbed all he could
of the body.
29
00:03:45,124 --> 00:03:49,185
A dame, very messy.
Got a great hysterical close-up of her sister.
30
00:03:49,529 --> 00:03:52,828
I'll even write the caption for you.
"I seen him with a bloody meat ax."
31
00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:54,592
Good. With that, I can sell papers.
32
00:03:54,667 --> 00:03:57,295
Give it to rewrite and we'll get it in the final.
Hold on. What do you want?
33
00:03:57,370 --> 00:04:00,237
Mr. Madison called down
from the boardroom again, Mr. Chapman.
34
00:04:00,306 --> 00:04:02,831
You hear that?
I'm letting them stew in their financial juices.
35
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:05,067
Well, don't overdo it. I like this job.
36
00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:08,273
You've never gone backwards
with me before, have you, kid?
37
00:04:08,348 --> 00:04:13,217
If we leave here, we'll bounce into
a bigger setup. I'll see you when you get in.
38
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:21,417
As one of the largest stockholders
in this corporation,
39
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:24,463
I would like to know
why the <i>New York Express,</i>
40
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:27,465
once a distinguished
and respected newspaper,
41
00:04:29,869 --> 00:04:33,600
has been allowed to become
a cheap and depraved publication.
42
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:38,835
Why has an editor been allowed
to turn a decent journal into this?
43
00:04:39,679 --> 00:04:41,613
A disgusting tabloid!
44
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,749
Pandering to the passions
of the base morons!
45
00:04:45,151 --> 00:04:47,847
I demand an explanation, Frank Madison.
46
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:54,750
Well, Mrs. Rawley, I...
In defense of Mark Chapman, I...
47
00:04:54,827 --> 00:04:58,263
Mr. Madison, I'd like to handle
my own defense, if you don't mind.
48
00:04:58,331 --> 00:04:59,855
Just as you say, Mark.
49
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:05,428
Mrs. Rawley, I think you
and the other stockholders should know
50
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:07,496
that your publisher hired me
as executive editor
51
00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:09,837
with full rights to transform this newspaper.
52
00:05:10,677 --> 00:05:14,443
He did this for a very simple reason.
He was fed up with operating at a loss.
53
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:18,611
Why did Mr. Madison hire me?
Well, he felt it was time that the <i>Express</i>
54
00:05:18,685 --> 00:05:21,745
buried its antiquated negative approach,
such as this.
55
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:25,756
But who won?
56
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:29,920
And become a positive newspaper.
We're in a business, ladies and gentlemen,
57
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:34,695
a business of satisfying the hunger
of the public for thrills, escape and news.
58
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:39,271
Here's where I took over
your highly respectable white elephant.
59
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:42,172
Instead of headlining a UN story,
we gave them a vice story.
60
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:44,368
Obviously, they went for it.
61
00:05:44,544 --> 00:05:46,239
We played down
the presidential appointments
62
00:05:46,312 --> 00:05:48,644
and concentrated
on the "Gorilla Man" killings.
63
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:51,576
Here's what happened.
Thirty or forty thousand new readers.
64
00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:54,245
Why, in a year, circulation's up over 110%.
65
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,686
And when we reach 750,000,
66
00:05:56,756 --> 00:06:00,886
we'll have to pay you a big bonus.
I'm not sure I like this at all.
67
00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:02,761
Did you like the dividend check
you got last month
68
00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:04,194
for the first time in 12 years?
69
00:06:04,263 --> 00:06:07,323
I don't like this, sir.
What kind of journalism is this?
70
00:06:07,967 --> 00:06:10,026
A newspaper
staging a cheap, vulgar display
71
00:06:10,103 --> 00:06:13,266
in order to attract
the stupid slobs of the city!
72
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,865
The thousands who will attend
the Lonely Heart dance tonight,
73
00:06:15,942 --> 00:06:18,467
these poor, friendly, unhappy people
whom you call stupid slobs,
74
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:20,569
buy and read this newspaper.
75
00:06:20,646 --> 00:06:22,944
Their loyalty helped put that dividend check
in your pocket.
76
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:26,712
And I suppose you think it's a public service
when one of your reporters is arrested
77
00:06:26,786 --> 00:06:30,745
for withholding information from the police?
Or whatever it was.
78
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:34,150
This, what's his name, McCleary person,
79
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,352
and the things he writes about!
I think he should be fired!
80
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:39,295
This McCleary person
is the best young reporter I've seen
81
00:06:39,365 --> 00:06:41,060
in 25 years of newspapering.
82
00:06:41,134 --> 00:06:43,193
Before I'll fire him,
I'll throw the <i>Express</i> up for grabs
83
00:06:43,269 --> 00:06:45,669
and go to work for somebody
who appreciates real talent on a paper!
84
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:47,262
- Mark, I'm sure...
- One last thing.
85
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:50,798
The only contract I have here is a handshake
between Mr. Madison and myself.
86
00:06:50,877 --> 00:06:53,141
Now, unless you give me full rights
to run this paper the way I want,
87
00:06:53,212 --> 00:06:55,271
I'll quit after the final edition today.
88
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:58,784
Now, I'm sorry I can't stay with you
any longer. I have a newspaper to get out!
89
00:07:06,092 --> 00:07:10,426
- Your story ready, Miss Allison?
- I'll have the rest in a minute, Joey.
90
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:13,831
Mr. Chapman?
91
00:07:16,502 --> 00:07:17,696
Thanks.
92
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:26,937
McCleary story in yet, Bax?
93
00:07:32,485 --> 00:07:34,885
How'd you make out in the torture chamber?
94
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:40,450
This is good. Give it a big play.
Mac'll do a byline follow-up tomorrow.
95
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:43,825
- What are these?
- Pics for that Lonely Heart spread.
96
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:45,820
- Junk them.
- But I...
97
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:47,092
Take Peters off the Lonely Hearts.
98
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:48,997
He's photographing these slobs
like a lineup in a soup kitchen
99
00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:50,660
instead of panting for a red-hot romance.
100
00:07:50,736 --> 00:07:52,533
- Okay. But I...
- Yeah?
101
00:07:52,939 --> 00:07:54,566
Yes, Mr. Madison.
102
00:07:58,211 --> 00:08:00,611
- Get an ax, smear it with blood.
- Yeah? Whose?
103
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,171
Yours. If you can't spare any,
use chocolate syrup or something.
104
00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:07,652
Chocolate? Goody! When I'm through,
I can make a plate of fudge. Drop in.
105
00:08:08,721 --> 00:08:12,157
So, you still insist a woman having 20 kids
is worth a feature article?
106
00:08:12,225 --> 00:08:15,422
Hi, genius.
I think it's worth a whole front page.
107
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:18,391
It scares me, this maternal instinct of yours.
108
00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:20,955
Decided where you're taking me
to dinner tonight?
109
00:08:23,736 --> 00:08:25,966
If Chapman hasn't been canned,
110
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,169
you're going to dine with the worst loser
who ever paid off a bet.
111
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:31,608
Then you'd better stash some
bicarbonate soda in your bag, princess.
112
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:32,837
You're gonna need it.
113
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:35,437
Don't count your steaks
before you hear the sizzle.
114
00:08:37,617 --> 00:08:39,608
Well, what's the word? Are you ex or still?
115
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,880
They're not dumb enough
to throw out a winner.
116
00:08:41,954 --> 00:08:44,650
Congratulations. I knew you'd stick
their stocks right back in their teeth.
117
00:08:44,724 --> 00:08:46,555
I told them if they fired me,
McCleary would quit, too,
118
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:49,060
and then they'd be in real trouble.
119
00:08:49,128 --> 00:08:50,527
I wouldn't put it past them
to try and dump you
120
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:53,929
to get out of paying the bonus that's
staring them right in their glassy eyes.
121
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,331
I've got news for you.
122
00:08:55,401 --> 00:08:57,528
I'm going to cut you in
for a piece of that bonus.
123
00:08:57,603 --> 00:08:59,298
What do you want me to do, retire?
124
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:00,566
I thought we could make a deal with Madison
125
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,698
to buy some of the company's stock.
126
00:09:01,774 --> 00:09:03,901
You know, kid,
we could end up owning this newspaper.
127
00:09:03,976 --> 00:09:06,536
- Well, that's the best offer I've had all week.
- I'll make you another one.
128
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:09,080
I'll take you to dinner tonight.
You pick the spot.
129
00:09:10,349 --> 00:09:14,012
I'll make you a better offer.
My date's buying. She lost a bet.
130
00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:17,544
The Grand Duchess from Vassar again?
The way I feel, I can put up with anything.
131
00:09:17,623 --> 00:09:19,818
- I'm more worried, can she put up with you?
- Get her ready.
132
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:24,124
We've got to be at the ballroom at 8:00.
There's no time for nose powder.
133
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:32,597
Don't break your ears with that grin.
I can see. He's still in.
134
00:09:33,005 --> 00:09:36,532
- No loud whoops of joy, baby?
- Well, I tried everything.
135
00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:39,770
I crossed my fingers,
said prayers, burned candles.
136
00:09:39,845 --> 00:09:43,713
- Who's your tailor, princess?
- Let's get out of here.
137
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,075
I've had to look at that Chapman face all day.
138
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:50,714
I've got to cover his fiasco tonight
and suffer some more.
139
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:53,987
At least just looking at you for an hour
will be a welcome change.
140
00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:57,496
- Lf you're taking me to dinner, let's go.
- Taking him?
141
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,195
Wait a minute.
Our bet was between you and me.
142
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:03,463
Our bet was loser buys dinner.
We didn't say for how many.
143
00:10:03,536 --> 00:10:06,994
- Why, you double-crossing...
- I knew you'd be a good loser.
144
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:10,807
Someday remind me to tell you about girls.
145
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:20,248
You talk a couple of these suckers
into getting married.
146
00:10:20,319 --> 00:10:21,581
These Lonely Heart slobs got the gimmies,
147
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:23,519
and we've got plenty to give them
from the advertisers.
148
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:25,284
If you talk one couple
into getting married by 9:00,
149
00:10:25,358 --> 00:10:27,883
by 12:00 we'll have a dozen lined up
for wedded bliss.
150
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,155
- McCleary, the Brooklyn cupid.
- McCleary, the human yes man.
151
00:10:30,229 --> 00:10:31,594
Hey, Julie!
152
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:34,155
- Hello, Charlie.
- Charlie.
153
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:38,225
- How are you, Barnes?
- Fine, Mark. You're looking fit. McCleary.
154
00:10:38,571 --> 00:10:39,595
Thank you.
155
00:10:39,672 --> 00:10:41,799
What goes on? Are you ghosting
Allison's features, Charlie?
156
00:10:41,874 --> 00:10:43,774
No, he's helping me with research
for that series
157
00:10:43,843 --> 00:10:45,640
on historical monuments in New York.
158
00:10:45,711 --> 00:10:47,872
You couldn't pick a better man.
I ought to know.
159
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:50,006
Remember those old days, Mark?
160
00:10:50,082 --> 00:10:53,813
Like the time I cut the phone cables
at the Lindbergh trial?
161
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:55,520
You scooped me. Almost cost me my job.
162
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:59,957
Scooped you, the wire services,
scooped everybody. That was the year...
163
00:11:00,026 --> 00:11:02,358
That was the year you won the Pulitzer Prize.
164
00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:06,826
Listen, Mark.
This stuff I've been doing for Julie, it's...
165
00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:13,200
- Mark, I think I'm ready to go back to work.
- That's fine. I'm glad to hear it, Charlie.
166
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,164
How about it, Mark? How about a job?
167
00:11:19,645 --> 00:11:21,510
- Why not?
- Thanks.
168
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:25,447
- Charlie, I'm so proud of you!
- This is gonna take a little juggling.
169
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:26,849
I won't be able to do anything right away.
170
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:28,978
Look, Charlie, I'll call you.
We're late, we gotta rush.
171
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:31,785
Sure, Mark, I know how it is,
always on the go.
172
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:35,258
- Coffee in the morning? Skinners?
- Sure thing, Julie.
173
00:11:40,199 --> 00:11:41,257
All the time I thought you were a...
174
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:43,699
- How much did you give him?
- $10. He earned it.
175
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:44,929
Ten bucks?
176
00:11:45,004 --> 00:11:47,336
- Buy a lot of whiskey.
- Did you see that rum-dumb?
177
00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:49,806
- Come midnight, he'll be in the gutter.
- Now, wait a minute.
178
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:51,274
He's an alky, Julie.
You shouldn't give an alky
179
00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:52,367
more than a buck at a time.
180
00:11:52,445 --> 00:11:55,414
You're liable to kill him.
Ten bucks, he can take a bath in it.
181
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:58,314
But... Well, this job
will change everything for him.
182
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:01,319
Job? I wouldn't have him in my office,
let alone on my staff.
183
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:04,117
In you go, sucker. Where are you going?
184
00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:07,085
I'm not going to let him go off believing this.
185
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:10,617
- Do you want to break his heart?
- Do I? What do you think you're doing?
186
00:12:10,696 --> 00:12:13,358
I'm giving him hopes and dreams.
A rummy like that lives on dreams.
187
00:12:13,432 --> 00:12:17,061
- He's happy. Why spoil it?
- Happy? Happy like your Lonely Hearts,
188
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,798
looking forward to those big romances
they've been promised?
189
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:23,069
- Only Charlie's romance is with a bottle.
- Get in.
190
00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:48,057
Biddle, don't leave that camera at half mast.
Stop goldbricking on the other guys.
191
00:12:48,134 --> 00:12:52,127
I must have got 100 shots already,
Mr. Chapman. My arm's giving out.
192
00:12:52,204 --> 00:12:56,334
You've only started. I want shots of people
from every state. Now start shooting.
193
00:12:58,911 --> 00:13:01,038
How are you doing, princess?
194
00:13:01,147 --> 00:13:04,116
Well, it's an effort,
but I'm trying to keep from screaming.
195
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:06,981
You were a real bundle of laughs
during dinner, too.
196
00:13:07,052 --> 00:13:08,781
Why don't you simmer down now?
197
00:13:08,854 --> 00:13:10,515
You're not so pretty
when your feathers are all ruffled.
198
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:13,183
Don't, Steve. I'm in no mood for levity.
199
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:17,491
- Do you feel like dancing?
- Do you figure that'll smooth my feathers?
200
00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:21,691
I've got a great idea for you. Grab yourself
one of these Lonely Heart boys.
201
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:25,066
Tell him you're a club date. Con him.
Get his life history.
202
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:28,903
- And there's your feature for tomorrow.
- Mark Chapman, Junior.
203
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:31,568
It'll sell papers, you left that out.
204
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:34,871
Happy hunting, cupid.
Mustn't let the boss down.
205
00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:38,312
Save at least one dance for me, princess.
206
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:58,034
Every time I aim my lens
at one of these walking zombies,
207
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:01,334
I think of the time
I covered the Miss America contest.
208
00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:03,705
The tears almost start to flow.
209
00:14:06,378 --> 00:14:09,370
From McCleary, you get nothing but service.
Ten minutes before 9:00,
210
00:14:09,448 --> 00:14:13,179
and couple number one. Mary and Joe
met in front of the Arkansas booth.
211
00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:16,221
It was love at first sight, almost. Right?
212
00:14:16,288 --> 00:14:20,349
Well, sure. I'm from Texas,
but I sure love that Arkansas cooking.
213
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,890
- You love her, don't you?
- Well, sure, I reckon so.
214
00:14:23,963 --> 00:14:26,158
- Mary, you love him?
- Yes.
215
00:14:26,966 --> 00:14:31,130
- See, they're crazy about each other.
- Yeah, that's fine. Hey, Edwards.
216
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:33,535
We've got a romance going here.
They're ready for the orange blossoms.
217
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,837
- Well, how do you do? And congratulations.
- Save the teeth for the bandstand.
218
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:38,171
Get up there
and make the big announcement.
219
00:14:38,244 --> 00:14:42,044
Yes, sir, Mr. Chapman.
Come with me, you lucky, lucky people.
220
00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:46,842
Hey, you ain't gonna forget about the bed
with the built-in television set?
221
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:48,614
You'll spend your honeymoon in front of it.
222
00:14:51,624 --> 00:14:55,321
- Nice going, Steve, keep punching.
- I'll get the camera boys up to cover it.
223
00:14:57,129 --> 00:15:01,862
- Did you find a feature to write about yet?
- I haven't, and I don't intend to.
224
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:05,435
This bribing of poor, ignorant dopes
into a public wedding
225
00:15:05,504 --> 00:15:07,665
is cheap, cruel and disgusting.
226
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:10,573
This whole Wild West show is ridiculous,
and I want no part of it.
227
00:15:10,643 --> 00:15:13,305
Miss Allison,
your contract has six months to run.
228
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:17,281
My contract was made with Mr. Madison
before you took over the <i>Express.</i>
229
00:15:17,349 --> 00:15:18,543
If you don't like the way I run the paper,
230
00:15:18,617 --> 00:15:21,245
I have an agreement
that might be satisfactory to both of us.
231
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,811
Take six months' vacation with pay!
232
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:30,286
No, thank you, Mr. Chapman. I'll work it out.
I like my feature writing.
233
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,898
Thinking people like it, too,
234
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:37,561
even though there aren't many of them
buying the <i>Express</i> anymore. Good night!
235
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:43,605
That's it.
236
00:15:50,382 --> 00:15:53,613
<i>Friends, brothers and sisters</i>
<i>in the Lonely Hearts Club.</i>
237
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:55,677
<i>I have wonderful news for you,</i>
238
00:15:55,754 --> 00:15:59,747
<i>living proof that this magnificent club</i>
<i>is more than just a name.</i>
239
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:04,386
<i>But first, how would you like to meet</i>
<i>the great man who created your club?</i>
240
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:11,998
<i>Mr. Mark Chapman,</i>
<i>editor of the</i> New York Express.
241
00:16:12,071 --> 00:16:14,665
<i>Put the spotlight on him, over there!</i>
242
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,782
<i>Now here's the wonderful news.</i>
243
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:37,056
<i>Meet Mary and Joe, two happy people</i>
<i>who came here tonight as total strangers.</i>
244
00:16:37,463 --> 00:16:42,400
<i>They met, they danced, they found love.</i>
<i>They're going to get married!</i>
245
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,474
George?
246
00:16:57,516 --> 00:17:00,041
<i>- As the first couple who fell in love tonight...</i>
- George Grant!
247
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:01,814
<i>...Mary and Joe will receive...</i>
- It is you!
248
00:17:01,887 --> 00:17:03,752
<i>...compliments of the</i> Express...
- Charlotte.
249
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:05,119
<i>... a wedding night in a New York hotel...</i>
250
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:08,921
Finding you here...
I was so sure that you must be dead.
251
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:11,759
George Grant is dead.
252
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:14,259
Yes, I just heard.
253
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,134
- You're the...
- We can't talk here.
254
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:19,901
We can talk at my place, George.
255
00:17:20,806 --> 00:17:23,036
We've got a lot to talk about.
256
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:26,509
Go on out. I'll meet you at the side entrance.
257
00:17:32,785 --> 00:17:35,151
The years have been kinder to you.
258
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:38,621
What is it, 19, 20?
I used to keep track, but I don't...
259
00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:41,716
What's the difference?
Now that you found me, what do you want?
260
00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:57,401
May I?
261
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:07,375
- Come on, quit stalling around.
- What was it they called you at the ball?
262
00:18:07,453 --> 00:18:08,977
- Mark?
- Chapman.
263
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:15,755
When did you change your name, George?
Right after you left me?
264
00:18:17,062 --> 00:18:18,962
So I wouldn't find you?
265
00:18:19,631 --> 00:18:21,292
You knew I was so crazy about you
266
00:18:21,366 --> 00:18:24,028
I'd look and look and look,
didn't you, George?
267
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,697
Come on, get to it. What do you want?
268
00:18:27,739 --> 00:18:32,574
You're still in a hurry, aren't you?
That's the thing I remember best about you.
269
00:18:32,878 --> 00:18:37,645
The fellow who always ran and never walked.
Had to get places fast!
270
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,749
And you got places, didn't you, George?
271
00:18:44,323 --> 00:18:46,883
Here, you need some money?
Here's some for now.
272
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,860
Money? The payoff, George?
273
00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:54,497
How much? How much for each year?
274
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:58,633
How much for the agony
and the heartbreak and the fear?
275
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:03,141
- Charlotte, cut the ham act.
- This could be for the doctor bill, see?
276
00:19:06,578 --> 00:19:10,173
I was 20 years younger then,
took things more seriously.
277
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:14,142
I can't imagine how much.
278
00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:18,087
You're boring me now, like you always did.
279
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:20,388
People always bored you
280
00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:23,155
when you didn't have
any more use for them, didn't they, George?
281
00:19:23,228 --> 00:19:25,025
Bores and nuisances, I get rid of them.
282
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:27,497
Yeah, the same gentle way
you got rid of me.
283
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:28,692
My lawyer will get in touch with you.
284
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:31,702
He'll arrange a quiet divorce
and generous alimony.
285
00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:34,671
You're an important man now,
aren't you, George?
286
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:37,038
Editor of the <i>New York Express.</i>
287
00:19:38,977 --> 00:19:43,346
I never thought I'd be the wife of the editor
of a big New York newspaper.
288
00:19:43,415 --> 00:19:47,112
You're not, and don't get any ideas
about forcing yourself.
289
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:51,020
You've got nothing to gain by refusing me
a divorce now like you did 20 years ago.
290
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:56,759
I was young then and so foolishly in love.
I wanted so much to hold onto you.
291
00:19:57,496 --> 00:20:00,021
I made all of my mistakes when I was young,
and you were the biggest one.
292
00:20:00,098 --> 00:20:02,794
I fell for an attractive hunk of flesh.
293
00:20:04,169 --> 00:20:07,627
"Hold me." You didn't try to hang on.
You strangled me.
294
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,936
I'd smother to death with you.
295
00:20:15,747 --> 00:20:19,808
Turnabout's fair play.
When you walked out on me, I died inside.
296
00:20:20,352 --> 00:20:23,116
When I walk out of here, you're gonna die.
297
00:20:23,188 --> 00:20:27,852
Everything you worked for, grabbed for,
ruined people to get, it's all gonna die!
298
00:20:27,926 --> 00:20:29,393
You're a neurotic screwball!
299
00:20:29,461 --> 00:20:33,955
I'm gonna spread your story all over town.
Mark Chapman, the great editor!
300
00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:37,829
Wife deserter!
Living under a false name for 20 years.
301
00:20:39,137 --> 00:20:42,334
What else did you cover up
living under a phony name?
302
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:44,637
Your publishers are gonna love this.
303
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:49,044
And the other papers, they'll cut you
to ribbons with this information!
304
00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,470
Hi, honey, let me have the city room.
305
00:23:33,812 --> 00:23:37,179
This is Elkins.
If you need me, I'm over in Skinners.
306
00:23:38,316 --> 00:23:41,808
What? Having breakfast. Yeah, breakfast.
307
00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:53,323
Yes, Julie, after that fortunate
and historical meeting with Mark yesterday,
308
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:57,629
I had considerable difficulty
wooing the fickle Morpheus.
309
00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:01,939
That explains it.
Those bleeding eyes today.
310
00:24:02,474 --> 00:24:05,341
Well, I did have a couple
with the boys down below.
311
00:24:05,410 --> 00:24:08,277
A sort of celebration, and then farewell.
312
00:24:11,049 --> 00:24:13,574
You should have left them long ago, Charlie.
313
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:15,916
Any man who was big enough
in his day to rate that,
314
00:24:16,555 --> 00:24:20,389
a place in Skinner's Hall of Fame,
is still too big for Dead-End Street.
315
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:25,028
No regrets, Julie. My temporary alliance
with the denizens of the Bowery
316
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:29,863
has provided me with a deeper insight
into the whys and wherefores of mankind.
317
00:24:35,674 --> 00:24:38,006
A proven medical fact,
when the human system
318
00:24:38,076 --> 00:24:40,840
has been lengthily nurtured
on alcoholic stimulants,
319
00:24:40,912 --> 00:24:44,871
any abrupt cessation of same
will result in a negative reaction.
320
00:24:45,016 --> 00:24:46,381
Absolutely.
321
00:24:47,652 --> 00:24:52,385
But I'm tapering off. I'll be a firmly-rooted
passenger on the old water wagon
322
00:24:52,524 --> 00:24:54,856
by the time Mark's ready for me.
323
00:24:57,295 --> 00:25:01,561
Charlie, don't bet everything
on Mark Chapman.
324
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:06,666
He won't let me down.
First time I felt ready, I asked him for a job,
325
00:25:06,938 --> 00:25:10,032
and what happened?
He offered me one, didn't he?
326
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:15,173
- Mr. Lonely Heart.
- Compliments of the <i>Express,</i> Myrtle.
327
00:25:15,747 --> 00:25:18,545
- I see you read. You stick with the radio.
- Yeah.
328
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:20,744
Hey, McCleary,
I read that rag of yours by accident.
329
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:23,287
Yeah, me, too.
From ax murder to Ionely hearts.
330
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:25,653
What are you trying to prove,
you're versatile or something?
331
00:25:25,724 --> 00:25:27,885
What are you gentlemen
reading our rag for?
332
00:25:27,959 --> 00:25:30,427
Trying to find out
what's happening that's news?
333
00:25:30,495 --> 00:25:32,929
Good morning, kiddies. What's the word?
334
00:25:35,066 --> 00:25:36,624
Silly, that's the word.
335
00:25:36,701 --> 00:25:38,635
Still a heaping bunch of joy,
aren't you, princess?
336
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:43,663
Lonely Hearts Ball. Journalism has certainly
changed since the old days.
337
00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:47,302
What happened to you last night?
Pulled a fast fade on me.
338
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:50,712
- Don't tell me you actually missed me?
- I needed protection.
339
00:25:50,782 --> 00:25:53,250
Some of our love-hungry subscribers
got mixed up.
340
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:56,014
They were offering me deep-freezes
and vacuum cleaners.
341
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:59,318
- I'm surprised you refused.
- How do you know I did?
342
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:02,849
Certainly heavy coverage
on the unrequited passion set.
343
00:26:03,261 --> 00:26:06,924
Our love and romance edition, Charlie.
Even the crossword puzzle.
344
00:26:06,998 --> 00:26:08,966
But nothing from the Allison corner.
345
00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:12,335
Not interested in romance, Julie?
346
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:16,465
Not the kind that blossoms
on free gas stoves and television sets.
347
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:21,235
- About that Lonely Heart gag, I've got a...
- Steve, on the radio.
348
00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:27,652
- Julie. Hi, Charlie.
- Hi, Biddle.
349
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:31,086
Police call. Dead dame in a flat
on Third Avenue. Are you interested?
350
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:33,090
Well, she'd probably be a cheerful change.
351
00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:36,685
I'm still getting the icebox treatment
from the female on my left.
352
00:26:36,761 --> 00:26:40,162
After them scarecrows I shot last night,
I figure my luck's gotta change.
353
00:26:40,231 --> 00:26:43,428
Even dead, this dame's bound
to have more glamour.
354
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:45,467
Let's give her a look.
355
00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:48,801
Thanks for the coffee, kitten.
356
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:03,785
Another scarecrow. I'm batting goose eggs.
357
00:27:05,323 --> 00:27:07,848
Dames have got to make trouble
even when they die, don't they, pal?
358
00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:11,384
Yeah, water downstairs and water upstairs.
359
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:14,531
Probably wanted a room
with a swimming pool.
360
00:27:14,966 --> 00:27:16,866
Hey, Davis, what are you doing here?
361
00:27:16,935 --> 00:27:21,031
I just wanted to see if I couldn't get
to one of our calls before you did.
362
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:22,471
This isn't a homicide?
363
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:24,531
We got a new man
on the beat here, McCleary.
364
00:27:24,609 --> 00:27:26,167
He's built like you between the ears.
365
00:27:26,244 --> 00:27:29,975
He saw a hole in the back of the dame's head
and figured she was slugged.
366
00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:31,515
What's your guess, Lieutenant?
367
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:33,949
She put the hole
in the back of her head herself?
368
00:27:34,019 --> 00:27:36,783
Yeah, wise-eyes, that's it. That's it exactly.
369
00:27:36,855 --> 00:27:40,291
She slipped in the tub
and opened her skull on a faucet.
370
00:27:40,358 --> 00:27:43,953
- What was the lady's name, Sherlock?
- The landlady says Jane Jones.
371
00:27:44,029 --> 00:27:45,360
- Do you believe it?
- Yeah, I believe it.
372
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:47,762
I'm fresh out of nursery school.
373
00:27:48,466 --> 00:27:52,402
Jane Jones, alias Jane Doe.
Say, Dave, you're really humming.
374
00:27:53,204 --> 00:27:56,401
Look, nuisance, if you so much as make
these bedsprings squeak once again,
375
00:27:56,474 --> 00:28:00,308
- I'll throw you in the tub with the dame.
- Lieutenant, please.
376
00:28:04,616 --> 00:28:08,177
You're wrong, Dave.
She was murdered. Clear as your head.
377
00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:10,347
Murdered for her money.
378
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:13,949
Why, this lady must have spent easily
six or seven dollars a year on clothes.
379
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:15,492
Why don't you go home, McCleary?
380
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,462
There's nothing around here
to interest a big newsman like you.
381
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:27,827
Look, junior, keep your nose
in your own business, or I'll run you in
382
00:28:27,906 --> 00:28:31,137
- for obstruction, suspicion and vagrancy.
- Why, sure, Dave.
383
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:33,837
I just thought there might be something
in here to help identify her.
384
00:28:33,912 --> 00:28:35,243
No suitcase, huh?
385
00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:41,715
- In there, boys.
- Okay, Steve, I got all I need.
386
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:46,957
Thanks, Dave.
387
00:28:49,127 --> 00:28:52,062
- No, not you two again.
- What do you guys do,
388
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:54,758
smell these things
before the police call is even in?
389
00:28:54,833 --> 00:28:57,301
Try to forget your mugs.
There's a lady in the bathroom.
390
00:28:57,368 --> 00:29:00,531
- Yes, so knock before entering.
- Coming through.
391
00:29:10,381 --> 00:29:12,406
- What'd you pinch that for?
- Look familiar?
392
00:29:12,484 --> 00:29:15,544
I had them in front of me all night, didn't I?
393
00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:18,747
Hey, that's off a Lonely Hearts badge!
394
00:29:18,823 --> 00:29:22,554
Yeah. How many pictures
did you and the boys take at the ball?
395
00:29:22,627 --> 00:29:24,925
Three, maybe four hundred. I don't know.
396
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:27,260
Rush the print of Miss Bathtub
through the lab.
397
00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:28,594
Then check it against the others.
398
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:30,964
- See if you can match them up, okay?
- Sure.
399
00:29:31,035 --> 00:29:34,937
- Shouldn't take more than a week.
- Yeah, but I want it done in an hour.
400
00:29:35,006 --> 00:29:36,701
- I'll see you at the office.
- Where are you going?
401
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:39,903
I'm gonna hitch a ride to the morgue.
If you match them, call me.
402
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,674
How about a ride to the morgue, Pete?
403
00:30:04,969 --> 00:30:07,096
Hey, Needle Nellie, anybody home?
404
00:30:07,172 --> 00:30:08,662
Hey, handsome.
405
00:30:09,007 --> 00:30:11,271
- How you doing, sweetheart?
- Doing all right, handsome.
406
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:13,037
Come here and give us a kiss.
407
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,815
- How's business at the morgue, Nellie?
- Dead.
408
00:30:19,551 --> 00:30:21,178
Business is dead.
409
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:25,621
- It's good to see you, handsome.
- Likewise, sweetheart.
410
00:30:25,690 --> 00:30:27,385
A long time between dates.
411
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:30,621
But right now,
I come seeking your expert female advice.
412
00:30:30,695 --> 00:30:34,131
Anybody that's lived as long as me
can give it. Shoot.
413
00:30:34,732 --> 00:30:37,565
Nellie, if you had just one dress
to your name
414
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:39,535
and you'd fastened something onto it
with a safety pin,
415
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:40,969
and maybe you were in a hurry,
416
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,008
would you take time to undo the pin,
or would you rip the whole thing off?
417
00:30:44,075 --> 00:30:46,305
- This is a riddle?
- No, seriously.
418
00:30:46,377 --> 00:30:51,041
Well, if I had 10 dresses and the house
was burning down, I'd still undo the pin.
419
00:30:51,115 --> 00:30:52,639
Any lady would.
420
00:30:53,017 --> 00:30:55,485
That's what I figured.
I just wanted a woman to confirm it.
421
00:30:55,553 --> 00:30:57,453
I love you, Nellie. I love you.
422
00:30:57,522 --> 00:31:00,047
- Where you going, handsome?
- I gotta see the doc.
423
00:31:00,124 --> 00:31:01,955
Maybe I can get you some business, Nellie.
424
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:11,364
Did you get those ringside ducats
I sent you?
425
00:31:11,436 --> 00:31:13,427
Steve! Yeah, it was a great fight.
426
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:15,438
Mishke really tore that Haybelly apart,
didn't he?
427
00:31:15,506 --> 00:31:19,840
Had so much blood spattered on my glasses,
I missed the knockout punch.
428
00:31:20,478 --> 00:31:24,175
Look, Doc,
they just brought in an accidental death.
429
00:31:24,249 --> 00:31:27,047
- They're putting her in the freezer right now.
- So?
430
00:31:27,118 --> 00:31:30,110
So, I'd like you to give her
the onceover for me. An autopsy.
431
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:33,646
Accidents are out of my province.
You know that, Steve.
432
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:35,383
It's going to be
a great World Series this year.
433
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:37,087
Yeah, that it is.
434
00:31:37,528 --> 00:31:41,362
I don't suppose you'd be interested
in viewing the festivities from a box seat?
435
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:47,132
Are you trying to bribe a city official?
436
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:51,135
Right behind first base, Doc.
437
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:11,028
Yeah. Yeah, get some prints ready.
I think we've got our front page.
438
00:32:11,095 --> 00:32:14,792
Well, this is your lucky day. Drop back,
I want you to mark my racing form.
439
00:32:14,866 --> 00:32:16,766
Get the door, will you?
440
00:32:17,368 --> 00:32:20,064
Yeah, and don't forget, I smoke cigars.
441
00:32:20,838 --> 00:32:24,831
- Hey, Steve, let me wipe those off a little.
- Wipe them tomorrow.
442
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:32,008
Will you smile again
if I take you to dinner tonight?
443
00:32:32,083 --> 00:32:34,847
- A little celebration coming up.
- What's the celebration?
444
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:37,649
Another McCleary scoop.
Getting monotonous, isn't it?
445
00:32:37,722 --> 00:32:42,557
That dinner. A two-party celebration,
or are you bringing a friend?
446
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:44,559
Just you and me alone.
447
00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:47,825
I'll smile again.
What are the fragile treasures?
448
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:52,060
Very rare items.
Pictures of a dame with her mouth shut.
449
00:32:53,071 --> 00:32:55,972
- Joey, catch the door, will you?
- All right.
450
00:32:58,676 --> 00:33:01,270
I've been waiting a long time
for a chance to say this.
451
00:33:01,346 --> 00:33:03,439
- Stop the presses!
- Did you get a morning-after story
452
00:33:03,514 --> 00:33:05,004
on any of those couples
we married last night?
453
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:07,483
I got a story from one
of the Lonely Heart Ball guests, all right.
454
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:11,079
But she didn't get married last night.
She got murdered!
455
00:33:19,964 --> 00:33:23,263
- Who is she?
- A Jane Doe. Nobody knows her real name.
456
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:25,996
The police think she slipped in the bathtub
and bashed her head in,
457
00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:30,507
- or they did until a little while ago.
- But you knew better all the time?
458
00:33:30,575 --> 00:33:32,941
After Doc O'Hanlon got through
cutting her up for me.
459
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:36,538
She died between 9:00 and 12:00 last night,
before she went under in the tub.
460
00:33:36,614 --> 00:33:38,479
No water in her lungs.
461
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:40,283
Did he find anything else?
462
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:44,788
Yeah, her killer was a man, middle-aged,
fair complexion. Had brown hair.
463
00:33:45,390 --> 00:33:47,620
O'Hanlon found that
in scraping under her fingernails.
464
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:50,593
You ran into this
just by playing a hunch, huh?
465
00:33:50,661 --> 00:33:53,858
A string from a Lonely Heart badge
was on her dress in the closet.
466
00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:57,628
The badge had been torn off.
I followed through from there.
467
00:34:00,371 --> 00:34:04,364
Well, is this a story,
this Lonely Heart murdered after the ball?
468
00:34:04,575 --> 00:34:06,805
Can you sell papers with this?
469
00:34:10,248 --> 00:34:13,342
Baxter, Jordan, Allison,
get in here right away.
470
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:15,477
They didn't know her name, you said?
471
00:34:15,553 --> 00:34:18,920
Well, she called herself Jane Jones.
How phony can you get?
472
00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:20,014
We've just been struck by lightning.
473
00:34:20,091 --> 00:34:22,025
It's a great follow-up
for the Lonely Hearts Ball.
474
00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:24,118
Tell them about it, Steve.
475
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:30,997
We'll call her Miss Lonely Heart,
no other name. Alone in the city, friendless.
476
00:34:31,536 --> 00:34:34,801
She went to our shindig last night,
hunting for a soul mate.
477
00:34:34,872 --> 00:34:37,363
Maybe she found one, the wrong one.
478
00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:39,872
Anyway, she left early,
and sometime before midnight
479
00:34:39,944 --> 00:34:41,343
she was beaten to death in her room
480
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:44,540
by a brown-haired, middle-aged man
of fair complexion.
481
00:34:44,615 --> 00:34:46,480
A smash follow-up is right.
482
00:34:46,551 --> 00:34:49,247
The killer had a head full of brains.
Good nerves.
483
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,723
He lugged her to the bathroom,
stripped her, tossed the body in the tub.
484
00:34:54,459 --> 00:34:58,520
No. No, he stood the body in the tub.
Aimed, let go!
485
00:34:58,696 --> 00:35:03,190
Bang, her head cracks the faucet.
Almost perfect crime. Ordinary accident.
486
00:35:04,035 --> 00:35:06,936
He's working smartly,
a guy with imagination.
487
00:35:07,004 --> 00:35:10,963
He takes her slip, stockings,
washes them, hangs them up to dry.
488
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,000
He wipes his prints off everywhere.
489
00:35:13,077 --> 00:35:16,274
He starts getting rid of anything
that could identify her.
490
00:35:16,347 --> 00:35:18,907
He took a ring off her,
probably a wedding or engagement ring.
491
00:35:18,983 --> 00:35:22,111
- How do you know that?
- Whitish circle, third finger, left hand.
492
00:35:22,186 --> 00:35:25,587
- O'Hanlon spotted it at the morgue.
- All right, go on, go on.
493
00:35:25,656 --> 00:35:27,954
Well, he grabs any other personal items
that might identify her
494
00:35:28,025 --> 00:35:29,856
and throws them in her suitcase and blows.
495
00:35:29,927 --> 00:35:32,361
- How do you know she's got a suitcase?
- Every dame's got a suitcase.
496
00:35:32,430 --> 00:35:34,022
But there wasn't one
in Miss Lonely Heart's room.
497
00:35:34,098 --> 00:35:35,861
This'll kick up the circulation.
498
00:35:36,701 --> 00:35:40,137
We can make the 5:00 edition exclusive.
Steve can do the lead story.
499
00:35:40,204 --> 00:35:42,263
Jordan, I want three column cuts
of the dame's picture at the ball
500
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:44,433
and the murder photo.
Allison, write me a sob story,
501
00:35:44,509 --> 00:35:46,568
"Miss Lonely Heart
won't be Ionely anymore."
502
00:35:46,644 --> 00:35:47,736
Fine job, Steve.
503
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,303
Sure, it's a great job,
but we're gonna top it.
504
00:35:50,381 --> 00:35:51,439
How?
505
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,513
- Bury her.
- Bury her?
506
00:35:57,555 --> 00:35:59,682
The best story I ever dug up, and he tops it.
507
00:35:59,757 --> 00:36:02,157
By 5:00 tonight, Miss Lonely Heart
will be selling newspapers for us
508
00:36:02,226 --> 00:36:05,923
on every street corner in Manhattan.
Now, go on, get going.
509
00:37:42,126 --> 00:37:43,787
Be seeing you, Humpty.
510
00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:31,269
Look, I've shown you everything in the shop.
That's the last one I've got!
511
00:38:35,513 --> 00:38:36,605
Mark!
512
00:38:39,283 --> 00:38:41,217
- Mark, old boy!
- How are you, Charlie.
513
00:38:41,285 --> 00:38:45,085
What distasteful mission brings you to this
unholy neighborhood, Mark, my friend?
514
00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:46,589
I'm just looking around.
I like to keep my hand in,
515
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,124
even though I am strapped
to a desk right now.
516
00:38:48,192 --> 00:38:50,126
You wouldn't mean you're keeping
your hand in by working
517
00:38:50,194 --> 00:38:51,821
on this Lonely Heart murder,
would you, now, Mark?
518
00:38:51,896 --> 00:38:53,955
I've got a staff to take care of that for me.
519
00:38:54,031 --> 00:38:56,727
You can't kid an old newshound
like me, Mark.
520
00:38:56,801 --> 00:39:00,999
Still following our old formula,
first check the hock shops for a clue?
521
00:39:01,072 --> 00:39:03,336
Didn't wanna tip your hand
to those cops in there, did you?
522
00:39:03,407 --> 00:39:05,637
I tell you I'm not down here on business.
Now stop playing hawkshaw!
523
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:08,770
Let me show you Charlie Barnes
still has the master's touch
524
00:39:08,846 --> 00:39:11,713
- when it comes to following up a lead, Mark.
- Tell me about it later, will you,
525
00:39:11,782 --> 00:39:15,684
- when you come back to work for me?
- You're afraid I'll get drunk and tip the story.
526
00:39:15,753 --> 00:39:18,881
- I'm tapering off, Mark.
- That's fine, Charlie. I'll call you.
527
00:39:18,956 --> 00:39:23,825
Let me work this with you, Mark. I know
this whole district from gutter to rum-heads.
528
00:39:23,894 --> 00:39:26,226
Pete in the pawnshop's
an honored friend of mine.
529
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:27,992
- Yeah.
- I can get him to work with me and...
530
00:39:28,065 --> 00:39:30,898
- Hello, Charlie!
- Go away.
531
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:35,400
- Here, Charlie, here's something to count.
- I don't want a handout, Mark.
532
00:39:35,473 --> 00:39:37,498
- I want to work.
- You can pay me later. I'll call you, Charlie.
533
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:39,338
Mark, let me help...
534
00:40:13,544 --> 00:40:14,704
Hang onto them, Pete.
535
00:40:14,779 --> 00:40:17,873
We'll drop back payday
and look them over again.
536
00:40:25,022 --> 00:40:26,489
Them guys should wear glasses.
537
00:40:26,557 --> 00:40:29,185
They do so much looking,
but never no buying.
538
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:31,125
Get this for me, Pete.
539
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:34,356
Taking something out for a change
instead of putting it in, Charlie?
540
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:37,526
I admit to the novelty of the occasion, Peter.
541
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:50,109
- Hey, you didn't hock this with me.
- Doing a favor for a friend.
542
00:40:52,082 --> 00:40:56,178
Them cops. You know, if someday
they should buy something from me, I'd...
543
00:40:56,253 --> 00:40:59,620
No, that'd be bad. I'd drop dead.
544
00:41:02,226 --> 00:41:06,185
You know, Charlie, I ought to be
in some other kind of business.
545
00:41:06,697 --> 00:41:10,497
You really meet a very poor class of people
in this business.
546
00:41:10,768 --> 00:41:13,259
Not meaning anything personal,
you understand.
547
00:41:13,337 --> 00:41:16,773
But I'm always dealing with people
who are in trouble,
548
00:41:17,274 --> 00:41:21,608
people who gotta hock something.
People who gotta buy something cheap.
549
00:41:24,582 --> 00:41:28,109
I don't like cheap things.
I never did and I never will.
550
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:34,356
I should have been big fur man, maybe,
or big jewelry man.
551
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,651
Then I could deal with rich people.
552
00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:42,554
That's the kind of people
I really prefer to deal with.
553
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:47,694
- Hey! How much is on this ticket?
- Two bucks.
554
00:41:58,249 --> 00:41:59,841
Here, sign here.
555
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:08,424
You know, sometimes they say
even the rich people aren't happy.
556
00:42:08,492 --> 00:42:11,017
But how that could be, I don't know.
557
00:42:12,296 --> 00:42:15,857
Thank you, Peter.
Thank you for being in business!
558
00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:21,433
Thank you very much.
559
00:42:33,517 --> 00:42:35,041
A shot, Heeney.
560
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:38,614
You look like your blood pressure's boiling,
Charlie. What's the matter?
561
00:42:38,689 --> 00:42:40,680
The classic irony of the age, Heeney.
562
00:42:40,758 --> 00:42:43,659
Charlie Barnes, a stewbum,
rocking the newspaper world
563
00:42:43,727 --> 00:42:46,457
like he never did in all his sober days.
564
00:43:00,411 --> 00:43:02,208
- Composing.
- Yes, sir.
565
00:43:04,481 --> 00:43:07,712
Yes. Yes, madam,
I have two answers for you.
566
00:43:08,185 --> 00:43:11,313
First, you shouldn't talk
to strange men in bars.
567
00:43:11,388 --> 00:43:13,982
Second, because he asked you to marry him
568
00:43:14,058 --> 00:43:16,356
then hit you with a pretzel dish
when you refused
569
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:19,191
isn't conclusive proof
he's our Lonely Heart Killer,
570
00:43:19,263 --> 00:43:21,697
but thanks for calling, lady. Bye.
571
00:43:23,334 --> 00:43:26,326
Phony or not,
those tips belong to the police.
572
00:43:26,704 --> 00:43:30,299
When are you going to get rid of the idea
you're wearing an invisible badge?
573
00:43:30,374 --> 00:43:34,140
Julie Allison. Hello, Charlie. How are you?
574
00:43:36,714 --> 00:43:38,181
The Lonely Heart murder?
575
00:43:38,248 --> 00:43:42,844
And you've got to meet me right away.
We have to figure out how to handle this.
576
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,514
I know the killer, and it's dynamite.
577
00:43:46,757 --> 00:43:48,952
Well, Charlie,
that story is really Steve McCleary's.
578
00:43:49,026 --> 00:43:52,587
- I think you'd better talk to...
- No, no, Julie, I want you to have this.
579
00:43:52,663 --> 00:43:55,393
Now I can repay you, Julie child,
for everything.
580
00:43:55,466 --> 00:43:59,596
Julie, this is so... It's so tremendous,
it'll put both of us on top.
581
00:44:02,272 --> 00:44:04,035
What? What, Julie?
582
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:08,835
Okay, okay, both of you meet me.
583
00:44:08,912 --> 00:44:11,540
Maybe we will need
somebody like McCleary.
584
00:44:11,615 --> 00:44:14,175
Steve, Charlie says
he has information on the murder.
585
00:44:14,251 --> 00:44:18,654
- He's awfully excited about something.
- About two quarts full, probably.
586
00:44:19,890 --> 00:44:21,881
Yeah, Charlie, what's up?
587
00:44:22,726 --> 00:44:25,695
I wanted Julie to have this,
but she insists you be on in it.
588
00:44:25,763 --> 00:44:27,663
I mean you be in on it.
589
00:44:27,965 --> 00:44:30,297
- What's the matter, Charlie?
- No.
590
00:44:31,368 --> 00:44:34,462
- What? You're not sore, are you?
- No, go away!
591
00:44:36,006 --> 00:44:38,099
What? What have I got?
592
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:40,939
I've got the Lonely Heart Killer for you,
that's what!
593
00:44:41,011 --> 00:44:44,777
Gee, Charlie, that's great.
You getting him crocked so he'll confess?
594
00:44:44,848 --> 00:44:48,807
I haven't got him. I know who he is.
595
00:44:54,858 --> 00:44:55,950
What?
596
00:44:59,563 --> 00:45:03,465
Yes, I'm in a saloon.
I'm in Heeney's. But I'm not drunk.
597
00:45:04,034 --> 00:45:07,128
I've just taken the hottest story
of the century out of hock, and I'm gonna...
598
00:45:08,038 --> 00:45:11,064
He's really flying tonight.
See what your 10 bucks did?
599
00:45:11,141 --> 00:45:15,009
Stop treating him like some
weak-minded child. Listen to what he's got.
600
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:19,482
- He's not this excited for nothing.
- You know what he's got? The DTs.
601
00:45:19,616 --> 00:45:21,675
Charlie Barnes, tanked to the eyeballs,
602
00:45:21,752 --> 00:45:24,880
says he just took the Lonely Heart
murder solution out of hock.
603
00:45:26,056 --> 00:45:29,583
Hello, Charlie?
Still there? Let's start all over again.
604
00:45:30,294 --> 00:45:34,788
Listen, you mental midget. The only reason
I'm calling the <i>Express</i> is Julie Allison.
605
00:45:34,865 --> 00:45:37,732
Before I'd give this story
to an insolent young pup like you,
606
00:45:37,801 --> 00:45:39,792
I'd take it to the <i>Daily Leader!</i>
607
00:45:39,870 --> 00:45:42,304
Charlie's mad now.
Gonna sell it to the <i>Leader.</i>
608
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:46,069
- Hang up on the drunken slob.
- Julie? She just left.
609
00:45:46,477 --> 00:45:48,570
I guess we'll just have to read your story
in the <i>Leader</i> tomorrow.
610
00:45:48,645 --> 00:45:50,772
- So long, pal.
- Give me that.
611
00:45:51,815 --> 00:45:53,077
- Hello? Hello?
- Don't be silly, Julie.
612
00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:55,141
He'll just keep you up all night
listening to his fairytales.
613
00:45:55,219 --> 00:45:59,349
- Where was he calling from?
- Bellevue psycho ward, I think he said.
614
00:46:00,257 --> 00:46:01,747
Your 10 bucks.
615
00:47:13,697 --> 00:47:15,460
- Keep this for me, Heeney.
- Why, sure, Charlie.
616
00:47:15,532 --> 00:47:17,056
A couple hours.
617
00:47:17,868 --> 00:47:20,359
One more, Heeney. One for the road.
618
00:48:05,215 --> 00:48:06,739
Hello, Charlie.
619
00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:13,617
Mark. I thought you were still down
at the Bowery.
620
00:48:15,692 --> 00:48:18,024
I hear you got a story, Charlie.
621
00:48:18,195 --> 00:48:20,060
Where'd you hear that?
622
00:48:20,597 --> 00:48:25,364
- Isn't that what you told McCleary?
- Why, I was just schmoozing him, I...
623
00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:28,295
Lining him up for a little touch.
624
00:48:28,372 --> 00:48:31,432
I gave you some money.
What did you do with it?
625
00:48:31,775 --> 00:48:33,333
You didn't, by any chance,
find a pawn ticket
626
00:48:33,410 --> 00:48:36,379
- mixed in with the money, did you, Charlie?
- Pawn ticket? Why, I...
627
00:48:36,446 --> 00:48:40,177
Did you use the money
to get the story out of hock, Charlie?
628
00:48:41,218 --> 00:48:44,585
You've got something that belongs to me.
Where is it?
629
00:48:45,389 --> 00:48:47,220
You were on the way to the <i>Leader</i>
with some evidence.
630
00:48:47,291 --> 00:48:49,725
Where is it, Charlie? Where is it?
631
00:49:01,905 --> 00:49:04,738
It's a wonderful story, isn't it, Charlie?
632
00:49:05,509 --> 00:49:07,909
You wanted to be a big man, Mark.
633
00:49:08,745 --> 00:49:12,476
This will make you famous
beyond your most ambitious dreams.
634
00:49:13,884 --> 00:49:18,412
Great story?
I've waited all my life for a story like this.
635
00:49:19,456 --> 00:49:23,483
Well, you've got it, Charlie.
But you're not going to write it.
636
00:49:27,130 --> 00:49:30,622
You're crazy, Mark.
Twenty years you've covered the news.
637
00:49:30,701 --> 00:49:33,761
Seen the bright boys try this. It never works.
638
00:49:56,493 --> 00:49:59,587
We just heard about Charlie Barnes.
Rotten deal.
639
00:50:00,163 --> 00:50:04,293
It's hard when it's someone like Charlie
you've known for 22 years.
640
00:50:04,401 --> 00:50:06,164
I knew him 25 years.
641
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:10,167
I never expected to see him
laying on a slab in this place.
642
00:50:10,507 --> 00:50:15,001
Is that right, Doc? Was he found
in an alleyway across from the <i>Daily Leader?</i>
643
00:50:15,078 --> 00:50:17,205
- Steve...
- Yes, that's right.
644
00:50:17,447 --> 00:50:20,439
The <i>Daily Leader.</i> He had a story!
645
00:50:20,517 --> 00:50:23,509
But he was taking your clever,
insolent, fresh-guy advice
646
00:50:23,587 --> 00:50:27,216
- and giving it to the <i>Leader!</i>
- He was drunk, Julie. How could I know...
647
00:50:27,290 --> 00:50:29,656
Charlie Barnes never got so drunk
he didn't know a story!
648
00:50:29,726 --> 00:50:33,492
Or that he'd try to peddle
a phony tip to a newspaper! But you...
649
00:50:33,563 --> 00:50:35,394
You couldn't bother listening to him!
650
00:50:35,465 --> 00:50:38,798
You and that newsprint hero of yours,
Mark Chapman.
651
00:50:39,269 --> 00:50:41,032
You couldn't expect us to believe
that Charlie Barnes
652
00:50:41,104 --> 00:50:43,129
had any real information
on the murder, Julie.
653
00:50:43,206 --> 00:50:45,231
We still don't know that he did.
654
00:50:45,308 --> 00:50:49,711
If you and that stone-hearted, glory seeking,
"I am the great Mark Chapman"
655
00:50:49,780 --> 00:50:51,771
had thrown Charlie
the miserable crumb of respect
656
00:50:51,848 --> 00:50:54,510
of just listening to him, he'd be alive today!
657
00:50:54,584 --> 00:50:58,748
Julie, maybe you're right.
Maybe it is partly my fault Charlie's dead.
658
00:50:58,822 --> 00:51:01,882
I'm sorry. Really sorry. But what can I do?
659
00:51:02,392 --> 00:51:06,123
Don't go soft! Show Chapman
you're a chip off the old block.
660
00:51:06,596 --> 00:51:08,655
Have him give Charlie a fancy funeral.
661
00:51:08,732 --> 00:51:11,997
Great headline.
"The <i>Express</i> buries its cast-offs."
662
00:51:12,436 --> 00:51:14,097
It'll sell papers!
663
00:51:27,350 --> 00:51:31,912
Kenny, rewrite that one paragraph, will you?
Allison had a bad night. Yeah.
664
00:51:32,289 --> 00:51:35,087
I just got yesterday's figures
from circulation, Mark.
665
00:51:35,158 --> 00:51:38,491
Six hundred and ninety-six thousand.
You're moving up there.
666
00:51:38,562 --> 00:51:41,292
Looks as though it's going to cost
the <i>Express</i> some bonus money before long.
667
00:51:41,364 --> 00:51:44,765
Quicker than you can say,
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Stockholder Rawley!"
668
00:51:44,835 --> 00:51:46,666
We're only starting,
Mr. Madison, only starting.
669
00:51:46,736 --> 00:51:48,260
That's the spirit!
670
00:51:48,338 --> 00:51:50,272
When you get to the editor's chair,
remember one thing.
671
00:51:50,340 --> 00:51:54,743
You're a hero with a lifetime job,
as long as the circulation is rising.
672
00:51:55,045 --> 00:51:59,379
- What have you got there?
- Something that will keep circulation rising.
673
00:51:59,716 --> 00:52:01,581
Charlie Barnes' story.
674
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:04,378
What are you talking about?
675
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:06,820
Charlie wasn't near the <i>Daily Leader</i>
by accident, Mark.
676
00:52:06,890 --> 00:52:08,790
He had something to print.
677
00:52:08,859 --> 00:52:11,419
I couldn't find it in his effects
at the morgue this morning,
678
00:52:11,495 --> 00:52:15,932
but I found it at Heeney's bar,
the joint Charlie phoned from last night.
679
00:52:16,233 --> 00:52:19,134
Half a pawnshop ticket was still on the bag.
680
00:52:19,236 --> 00:52:21,431
Pete's Hock Shop. I checked it.
681
00:52:21,505 --> 00:52:24,838
Charlie came in the pawnshop last night
with a claim check.
682
00:52:24,908 --> 00:52:27,536
Said he was unhocking it for a friend.
683
00:52:28,478 --> 00:52:31,743
Well, what's in the bag?
Miss Lonely Heart's name and address?
684
00:52:32,916 --> 00:52:36,477
Better than that, Mark.
Much better than that.
685
00:52:38,054 --> 00:52:40,579
A picture of the guy who killed her.
686
00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:52,362
A picture?
You can't even see the guy's face!
687
00:52:52,435 --> 00:52:54,596
What's the matter, Mark?
This is the first real lead we've got.
688
00:52:54,671 --> 00:52:56,263
The way you talked,
I thought we had it all sewed up.
689
00:52:56,339 --> 00:52:59,604
Sure, it's a lead, but it's a thin one.
How much does this give us?
690
00:52:59,676 --> 00:53:04,773
Well, we're certain the dame had a husband.
They were married in 1931 in Connecticut.
691
00:53:05,248 --> 00:53:09,048
- The husband's the guy who killed her.
- How do you make that?
692
00:53:09,419 --> 00:53:11,580
The ring mark on her finger
must have been a wedding ring.
693
00:53:11,655 --> 00:53:14,055
The inscription inside
could have identified him.
694
00:53:14,124 --> 00:53:16,388
And he grabbed the pawn ticket
figuring she'd hocked some belongings
695
00:53:16,459 --> 00:53:18,893
- that might peg him.
- Makes sense.
696
00:53:19,396 --> 00:53:22,194
Charlie got the pawn ticket from the killer.
697
00:53:22,265 --> 00:53:25,701
He must have been with him sometime,
someplace, yesterday.
698
00:53:25,769 --> 00:53:28,329
A lot of people
could have seen them together, right?
699
00:53:28,405 --> 00:53:29,770
Could have.
700
00:53:31,141 --> 00:53:33,609
Splash this picture
on the front page tonight.
701
00:53:33,677 --> 00:53:35,975
Offer a reward for information.
702
00:53:39,149 --> 00:53:41,674
"Lonely Heart Killer strikes again."
703
00:53:43,153 --> 00:53:45,246
When you write the story,
say that Barnes was working on this case
704
00:53:45,322 --> 00:53:46,346
undercover for the <i>Express.</i>
705
00:53:46,423 --> 00:53:49,620
He got too close to the killer
and died in the line of duty.
706
00:53:49,693 --> 00:53:50,887
Mark, I don't know, it...
707
00:53:50,961 --> 00:53:54,863
Nobody can deny it. It'll help sell papers.
We'll offer $1,000.
708
00:53:55,232 --> 00:53:58,360
Look, kid, don't pin your hopes
on anybody being able
709
00:53:58,435 --> 00:54:02,030
to spot the guy from this.
Unless they got x-ray eyes.
710
00:54:02,339 --> 00:54:04,034
I'm sure Charlie connected
the guy in the picture
711
00:54:04,107 --> 00:54:08,601
with the bird who gave him the pawn ticket.
I'm going to fine-tooth the Bowery myself.
712
00:54:08,678 --> 00:54:11,374
It's even money
that's where Charlie ran into our man.
713
00:54:11,448 --> 00:54:12,972
Good luck, kid.
714
00:54:44,314 --> 00:54:47,875
- Well, I got them for you, McCleary.
- Good work, Heeney.
715
00:55:05,368 --> 00:55:09,634
Well, this does it. I'll never touch
another drop the rest of my life.
716
00:55:17,547 --> 00:55:19,515
'Course some of them
been sucking on the bottle all night,
717
00:55:19,582 --> 00:55:21,516
but they can still stand up.
718
00:55:21,584 --> 00:55:24,747
- They all knew Charlie?
- Yeah, they all knew him.
719
00:55:25,088 --> 00:55:29,081
If you give McCleary here
any bum information, I'll brain you.
720
00:55:29,793 --> 00:55:31,818
And I might even do worse.
721
00:55:31,961 --> 00:55:35,522
No more free shots
when you're seeing little red spiders.
722
00:55:35,999 --> 00:55:40,095
How many of you boys saw Charlie Barnes
the day he was killed? Raise your hands.
723
00:55:40,170 --> 00:55:44,197
All right, raise your mitts,
them that seen Charlie day before yesterday.
724
00:55:44,274 --> 00:55:45,366
Good.
725
00:55:48,478 --> 00:55:50,446
- Where did you see him?
- See who?
726
00:55:50,513 --> 00:55:54,279
- This guy must be used to talking to mirrors.
- Charlie Barnes.
727
00:55:54,351 --> 00:55:58,253
I seen him come out of a joint
where he flopped in the morning.
728
00:56:00,824 --> 00:56:02,815
You, where'd you see him?
729
00:56:03,460 --> 00:56:05,826
- Humpty O'Dougal's saloon.
- What time?
730
00:56:05,895 --> 00:56:10,389
In the afternoon. Late in the afternoon.
Charlie had a nice little bun on.
731
00:56:10,934 --> 00:56:11,992
Was he with anybody?
732
00:56:12,068 --> 00:56:14,036
With anybody?
Sure, he was with somebody.
733
00:56:14,104 --> 00:56:16,834
Charlie never drank by himself
if he had a little cash on him.
734
00:56:16,906 --> 00:56:19,966
- Well, do you know the guy he was with?
- Certainly I know who he was with.
735
00:56:20,043 --> 00:56:23,206
- Well, who was it?
- Me. He sprung me three slugs.
736
00:56:29,686 --> 00:56:32,678
When did you see him?
When did you see him?
737
00:56:36,159 --> 00:56:38,491
- This morning.
- Throw him out of here.
738
00:56:38,561 --> 00:56:41,086
- Wait a minute!
- What are you talking about?
739
00:56:41,164 --> 00:56:44,691
- Now, is there any more jokers in the crowd?
- I seen him.
740
00:56:45,735 --> 00:56:49,136
Yeah? Well, go on. Where'd you see him?
741
00:56:51,074 --> 00:56:53,770
On the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
742
00:56:53,843 --> 00:56:57,472
- Go on, go on.
- Nothing. He was working a sucker.
743
00:56:58,014 --> 00:57:01,177
- Giving him the pally act, that's all.
- Now think hard.
744
00:57:01,251 --> 00:57:04,243
Do you remember the sucker?
Do you remember what he looks like?
745
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,754
- Maybe.
- What do you mean, "Maybe"?
746
00:57:06,890 --> 00:57:10,826
- Maybe for 50 bucks.
- Why you...
747
00:57:11,995 --> 00:57:15,362
Do you think you could remember
for 1,000 bucks?
748
00:57:17,267 --> 00:57:19,258
Who could tell who he is?
749
00:57:19,469 --> 00:57:22,461
Can you describe
the man you saw Charlie with?
750
00:57:22,906 --> 00:57:26,273
Do I get $1,000 if I do?
751
00:57:26,443 --> 00:57:28,968
You do. If and when we find the guy.
752
00:57:29,379 --> 00:57:32,212
- Sure, I can describe him.
- Well, go ahead.
753
00:57:34,918 --> 00:57:37,819
- You paying the reward?
- No, but my boss is.
754
00:57:38,655 --> 00:57:41,647
- Then I'll describe it to him.
- Okay. Come on.
755
00:57:41,791 --> 00:57:44,385
Rush this over to the composing room.
756
00:57:44,761 --> 00:57:48,492
Kenny, see if you can figure out
a heading for that rubbish.
757
00:57:48,698 --> 00:57:50,723
Connie! Connie, take this.
758
00:57:58,475 --> 00:57:59,806
Wait here.
759
00:58:13,623 --> 00:58:15,318
Look, Lieutenant,
just refer the captain to me.
760
00:58:15,391 --> 00:58:18,189
I'll tell him he's cropping at the best
homicide man he ever had on the force.
761
00:58:18,261 --> 00:58:20,491
If he doesn't know that,
he's deaf, dumb and blind.
762
00:58:20,563 --> 00:58:22,861
Yeah, never mind the malarkey, Chapman!
763
00:58:22,932 --> 00:58:24,900
The next time
you people pull a stunt like this,
764
00:58:24,968 --> 00:58:27,596
I'll throw both you and McCleary in the can!
765
00:58:28,271 --> 00:58:31,832
Okay, Lieutenant, okay.
I give you my word. Goodbye, pal.
766
00:58:33,042 --> 00:58:35,340
Davis is screaming because we gave him
the suitcase only a half hour
767
00:58:35,411 --> 00:58:36,878
before he read it in the <i>Express.</i>
768
00:58:36,946 --> 00:58:39,437
Well, I've got something
that ought to make him happy again.
769
00:58:39,516 --> 00:58:40,744
Not another suitcase?
770
00:58:40,817 --> 00:58:44,776
A guy who can identify the man
Charlie got the pawn ticket from.
771
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:51,384
Hey, Bailey. Come in here.
772
00:59:00,103 --> 00:59:03,561
He wouldn't describe the guy to me.
He needed the boss.
773
00:59:06,643 --> 00:59:08,304
You the boss?
774
00:59:09,379 --> 00:59:13,611
Yeah, and don't waste my time.
Where'd you see this guy with Charlie?
775
00:59:15,818 --> 00:59:18,446
Down the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
776
00:59:19,956 --> 00:59:22,151
You say you can describe him?
777
00:59:41,844 --> 00:59:44,335
Well, go on. What did he look like?
778
00:59:54,057 --> 00:59:55,786
Stand up, will you?
779
01:00:04,467 --> 01:00:07,766
Yeah, just how I figured.
780
01:00:08,805 --> 01:00:10,432
You figured what?
781
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,272
He was your size,
782
01:00:17,313 --> 01:00:18,678
your build.
783
01:00:19,115 --> 01:00:21,345
Could have been as old as you.
784
01:00:21,951 --> 01:00:26,217
- Is that all?
- All you asked me was to describe him.
785
01:00:26,723 --> 01:00:30,625
That was no description!
That could fit a million guys in this town.
786
01:00:30,693 --> 01:00:34,060
- Even me.
- Well, how about the reward?
787
01:00:34,130 --> 01:00:38,123
Here, take this down to the cashier
and pick yourself up five bucks.
788
01:00:38,201 --> 01:00:41,261
- Show him where it is, Steve.
- Come on, Bailey.
789
01:01:30,186 --> 01:01:31,517
Hey, Baxter, where's Julie?
790
01:01:31,587 --> 01:01:34,078
She came in this morning,
banged this out on her typewriter,
791
01:01:34,157 --> 01:01:36,216
and told me to give it to Chapman.
792
01:01:36,292 --> 01:01:38,385
- What is it?
- Her resignation.
793
01:01:38,461 --> 01:01:42,261
I figured I'd hang onto it a day or so.
Maybe she'd cool off.
794
01:01:42,632 --> 01:01:46,261
I'm sure glad you did.
I'll take care of it for you, okay?
795
01:01:49,238 --> 01:01:50,762
Baxter, thanks.
796
01:02:00,883 --> 01:02:03,647
- Hello, Mrs. Allison.
- Well, hello, Steve. Come in.
797
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,051
Thank you.
798
01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:14,458
I have a pot of coffee in the kitchen.
I'd better see to it.
799
01:02:14,664 --> 01:02:16,564
Can I say a few words to you?
800
01:02:16,632 --> 01:02:19,533
Without getting hit with a table
or something?
801
01:02:19,602 --> 01:02:22,230
Speak your piece and get it over with.
802
01:02:22,338 --> 01:02:25,535
I just got rocked
with a bad piece of news, Julie.
803
01:02:25,742 --> 01:02:28,040
I heard about your resignation.
804
01:02:28,444 --> 01:02:31,845
Well, I can't imagine
why you'd shed any tears over it.
805
01:02:31,914 --> 01:02:33,211
Well, for what it's worth,
806
01:02:33,282 --> 01:02:36,308
your resigning knocks the props
out of a lot of things for me.
807
01:02:37,754 --> 01:02:40,655
That couldn't have come
from Steve McCleary.
808
01:02:41,791 --> 01:02:44,851
Okay, pass it. But I didn't figure
your burn at Chapman and me
809
01:02:44,927 --> 01:02:48,454
would be bigger than your wanting
to do something about Charlie's murder.
810
01:02:49,632 --> 01:02:52,829
Don't start playing me
for a hollow-headed female now, Steve.
811
01:02:52,902 --> 01:02:55,871
Your only interest, and Chapman's,
in Charlie's death is exploiting it
812
01:02:55,938 --> 01:02:59,601
- for all the circulation jumping it's worth!
- Julie, I'm not digging on a story now
813
01:02:59,675 --> 01:03:03,577
just for the school-boy bang of seeing
my name over a sensational yarn.
814
01:03:03,646 --> 01:03:06,672
Yeah, that's right, I had to get hit pretty hard
before I smartened up.
815
01:03:06,749 --> 01:03:09,309
But now I'm leveling
on the Charlie Barnes business.
816
01:03:13,422 --> 01:03:18,257
Well, if I can believe what I'm hearing,
this certainly is a different McCleary.
817
01:03:19,328 --> 01:03:20,955
I've been working night and day.
818
01:03:21,030 --> 01:03:24,227
All I've done is run the local leads
to a dead end.
819
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:29,294
There's only one gimmick left to follow.
This picture, the marriage in Connecticut.
820
01:03:29,472 --> 01:03:33,067
It's odd the person who married them
hasn't recognized it.
821
01:03:33,142 --> 01:03:36,077
Unless he's dead or hasn't seen the picture.
822
01:03:36,579 --> 01:03:40,310
Yeah, I thought of that angle, too.
But it's a million-to-one shot.
823
01:03:40,383 --> 01:03:43,716
A guy would have to be an elephant
to remember a face after 21 years.
824
01:03:44,787 --> 01:03:48,314
Tell him about the elephant we met
on Fifth Avenue, about four years ago.
825
01:03:48,391 --> 01:03:50,791
We were walking along the street when,
right out of the blue,
826
01:03:50,860 --> 01:03:53,021
a complete stranger stopped me.
827
01:03:53,095 --> 01:03:56,656
It turned out to be the little preacher
who married Julie's father and me
828
01:03:56,732 --> 01:03:59,724
in Portland, Maine, 23 years before!
829
01:04:01,404 --> 01:04:06,603
- And he actually was able to recognize you?
- And I'd put on a little weight since then.
830
01:04:07,210 --> 01:04:10,270
They say a New Englander
seldom forgets a face.
831
01:04:10,980 --> 01:04:13,813
Crazy odds, but what can we lose?
832
01:04:15,051 --> 01:04:16,416
Yeah, get this picture
833
01:04:16,485 --> 01:04:19,750
to every churchman, judge
and justice of the peace in Connecticut.
834
01:04:19,822 --> 01:04:24,259
- It's certainly worth trying.
- It's a big job. Compiling lists,
835
01:04:24,527 --> 01:04:26,620
- checking out leads.
- It can be done.
836
01:04:26,696 --> 01:04:28,687
The two of us could handle it, Julie.
837
01:04:29,732 --> 01:04:32,667
Well, I'd like to, Steve, but I've resigned.
838
01:04:32,735 --> 01:04:36,637
And I'd sooner drop dead
than ask Mark Chapman for my job back.
839
01:04:43,312 --> 01:04:45,803
- You dog!
- It never got past Baxter.
840
01:04:46,883 --> 01:04:48,908
A list of churches in each town
is no problem.
841
01:04:48,985 --> 01:04:52,318
The judges and JPs we can get
from the state legal directory in Hartford.
842
01:04:52,388 --> 01:04:54,720
Yeah, you start packing.
Enough for a couple of weeks.
843
01:04:54,790 --> 01:04:56,451
I'm going to the office
and get the lab boys started
844
01:04:56,525 --> 01:04:57,787
on knocking out a few hundred circulars.
845
01:04:57,860 --> 01:05:00,260
But suppose Chapman says no
to my working with you on it?
846
01:05:00,329 --> 01:05:03,492
Why should he? Anyway, I'm not going
to tell him anything until we're ready to go.
847
01:05:03,566 --> 01:05:04,658
Tonight sometime.
848
01:05:04,734 --> 01:05:08,898
Mom, you think it's safe for me to travel
out of state at night with this young man?
849
01:05:08,971 --> 01:05:12,702
Just so he doesn't misconstrue
the meaning of "freedom of the press."
850
01:05:12,775 --> 01:05:16,336
Hey, you wonderful woman.
I'll check with you for dinner.
851
01:05:21,417 --> 01:05:23,544
Steve, this is shot-in-the-dark stuff.
852
01:05:23,619 --> 01:05:26,452
Mark, more rabbit-brained ideas than this
have paid off.
853
01:05:26,522 --> 01:05:28,956
Your hottest lead is right here in town
where the murders were committed.
854
01:05:29,025 --> 01:05:32,290
Yeah, our hottest lead was in town,
but it dried up like a puddle in July.
855
01:05:32,361 --> 01:05:33,589
You're looking for a mental marvel,
856
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:36,154
a guy who can recognize somebody
he'd seen for 15 or 20 minutes
857
01:05:36,232 --> 01:05:38,757
at a wedding ceremony
he performed 21 years ago.
858
01:05:38,834 --> 01:05:41,394
How do we know he only saw them
for 15 or 20 minutes?
859
01:05:41,470 --> 01:05:44,200
Maybe they were members of his church
or were married by a judge
860
01:05:44,273 --> 01:05:46,298
or a justice in their own town.
861
01:05:46,375 --> 01:05:48,605
Steve, you're off
on a needle-in-a-haystack hunt.
862
01:05:48,678 --> 01:05:51,078
You can find a needle in a haystack
if you look long enough.
863
01:05:51,147 --> 01:05:53,775
You don't think I'm gonna let you
hang around up there indefinitely, do you?
864
01:05:53,849 --> 01:05:55,680
You won't have to. A week, probably.
865
01:05:55,751 --> 01:05:58,982
Julie Allison's coming along to help me.
It's all arranged.
866
01:05:59,055 --> 01:06:02,456
It's all arranged. And that five grand reward.
You arranged that, too?
867
01:06:02,525 --> 01:06:06,586
No, you did, or will.
Mark, what's eating you?
868
01:06:07,096 --> 01:06:09,257
I'm only checking out every possible angle.
869
01:06:09,332 --> 01:06:11,061
Kid, I don't want you to beat your brains out.
870
01:06:11,133 --> 01:06:13,033
We can get just so much
out of this Lonely Hearts story,
871
01:06:13,102 --> 01:06:16,128
and then we'll start easing it off
and let it die a natural death.
872
01:06:16,205 --> 01:06:19,368
Let it die? Mark, we let Charlie Barnes die!
873
01:06:20,509 --> 01:06:22,909
The least we can do now is to find his killer.
874
01:06:23,679 --> 01:06:26,443
You're the guy who pounded into me,
"Never give up till you've got the story."
875
01:06:26,515 --> 01:06:28,449
Well, I'm not quitting on this one
until I've licked it.
876
01:06:28,517 --> 01:06:30,985
You can reach me
at the Lenox Hotel in Hartford.
877
01:06:56,579 --> 01:06:57,978
Long distance.
878
01:06:58,047 --> 01:06:59,844
I want some information.
879
01:06:59,915 --> 01:07:01,906
A telephone number
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
880
01:07:01,984 --> 01:07:05,181
The name is Hacker. He's a judge.
I don't remember his first name.
881
01:07:05,254 --> 01:07:07,222
You wish to place a call to this party?
882
01:07:07,289 --> 01:07:10,383
No, no. Not yet, that is.
I just want to get his telephone number.
883
01:07:10,459 --> 01:07:12,188
<i>One moment, please.</i>
884
01:07:16,799 --> 01:07:20,235
Hello? The Middlebury operator
has no listing for anyone by that name.
885
01:07:21,037 --> 01:07:22,436
There isn't?
886
01:07:23,305 --> 01:07:25,296
Middlebury's a small town.
Will you ask the operator
887
01:07:25,374 --> 01:07:26,966
if she knows anything
about Judge Hacker at all?
888
01:07:27,043 --> 01:07:29,273
Is he deceased, moved away, or what?
889
01:07:29,345 --> 01:07:31,074
<i>One moment, please.</i>
890
01:07:35,518 --> 01:07:38,510
Hello? The local operator
has been in Middlebury for five years
891
01:07:38,587 --> 01:07:40,646
and knows no one
by the name of Judge Hacker.
892
01:07:40,723 --> 01:07:42,384
That's all the information she can give us.
893
01:07:43,959 --> 01:07:45,153
Thanks.
894
01:08:32,908 --> 01:08:35,308
No, Reverend,
I'm afraid that's not our couple.
895
01:08:36,412 --> 01:08:39,040
You may be positive, Reverend,
but you're mistaken.
896
01:08:39,115 --> 01:08:41,515
The woman in the photo we sent you
is dead.
897
01:08:41,584 --> 01:08:43,916
Thank you for calling, Reverend.
898
01:08:46,288 --> 01:08:48,153
You don't have to tell me.
899
01:08:48,224 --> 01:08:50,852
It's written all over
your bright and shining face.
900
01:08:50,926 --> 01:08:53,759
A 190-mile drive
to have a whack-head tell me
901
01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:56,423
that both the people in our circular
died a year ago.
902
01:08:57,766 --> 01:09:01,896
New Englanders remember, all right.
Every face is familiar to them.
903
01:09:04,406 --> 01:09:07,671
Hello? Just a minute, here's Steve.
904
01:09:08,110 --> 01:09:10,340
It's that man again. Every day.
905
01:09:10,412 --> 01:09:13,313
Does he think we'll keep it a big fat secret
if we find something?
906
01:09:15,284 --> 01:09:16,649
Yeah, Mark.
907
01:09:18,487 --> 01:09:20,819
Nothing but an aching back
and some interesting meetings
908
01:09:20,890 --> 01:09:22,824
with jelly-brained screwballs.
909
01:09:22,892 --> 01:09:26,555
You've had enough time, Steve. Ten days.
Admit it's a dud. Come on home.
910
01:09:26,629 --> 01:09:29,325
Two more days, Mark.
We'll stick it out to the end of the week.
911
01:09:29,899 --> 01:09:33,391
Get out of the haystack. It's easier
to find the needles at the scene of the crime.
912
01:09:33,469 --> 01:09:34,936
I'll see you.
913
01:09:35,771 --> 01:09:39,832
Two more days. I don't even know myself
why we're sticking around.
914
01:09:41,043 --> 01:09:42,772
Anything there that sounds good?
915
01:09:44,180 --> 01:09:47,946
I'll read you a fair sample.
From a J.P. Waterbury.
916
01:09:49,084 --> 01:09:52,451
"Send me $5,000
and I will tell you names of people."
917
01:09:52,655 --> 01:09:54,646
A new head I'll send him.
918
01:09:55,658 --> 01:09:58,320
I've got a headache.
I think I'll lie down for a while.
919
01:09:59,728 --> 01:10:01,855
Why don't you lie down here?
920
01:10:07,269 --> 01:10:08,998
I'll go to my room.
921
01:10:15,344 --> 01:10:17,744
McCleary. Okay, put him on.
922
01:10:18,681 --> 01:10:20,808
A guy calling from Franklin.
923
01:10:21,283 --> 01:10:23,308
Hello? Yeah, that's right.
924
01:10:25,955 --> 01:10:27,149
You do, huh?
925
01:10:29,258 --> 01:10:31,590
- You've got what?
- What is it?
926
01:10:31,827 --> 01:10:35,456
- Just a minute.
- I have the other picture right before me!
927
01:10:35,864 --> 01:10:41,131
Yes, I married them July 19th, 1931,
over in Middlebury.
928
01:10:42,438 --> 01:10:44,702
A funny thing. What's that?
929
01:10:48,143 --> 01:10:49,872
Judge Elroy Hacker.
930
01:10:50,379 --> 01:10:52,404
We'll be there in two hours, Judge.
931
01:10:52,481 --> 01:10:54,244
Sit tight
and keep your mouth shut about this.
932
01:10:54,316 --> 01:10:55,374
Bye.
933
01:10:55,584 --> 01:10:59,247
Go on, get packed.
He's liable to drop dead on us or something.
934
01:11:55,110 --> 01:11:58,102
For a man who can sit there
and watch his success increasing daily,
935
01:11:58,180 --> 01:12:00,011
you're looking much too troubled, Mark.
936
01:12:00,082 --> 01:12:03,210
It's just that these minor problems
always seem to require major thinking.
937
01:12:03,285 --> 01:12:06,379
Well, perhaps we can balance
the unpleasant with the pleasant.
938
01:12:06,455 --> 01:12:09,390
That conversation we had the other day
about your buying company stock.
939
01:12:09,458 --> 01:12:10,823
- Yeah?
- I just thought I'd tell you,
940
01:12:10,893 --> 01:12:14,920
- I think we can swing that.
- That's fine, Mr. Madison, just great.
941
01:12:14,997 --> 01:12:17,659
Well, there doesn't seem to be any doubt
you'll reach that bonus figure.
942
01:12:17,733 --> 01:12:19,064
It'll be pleasant having you as a partner,
943
01:12:19,134 --> 01:12:20,863
- so to speak, in the paper, Mark.
- Thanks.
944
01:12:20,936 --> 01:12:22,801
- Good night.
- Good night.
945
01:14:17,953 --> 01:14:19,147
Sorry to keep you this late, Mark,
946
01:14:19,221 --> 01:14:21,621
but we got hit with a mess of traffic
on the way in.
947
01:14:21,690 --> 01:14:23,157
Your wire sounded important.
948
01:14:23,225 --> 01:14:26,456
I found that needle,
or rather the man with the needle.
949
01:14:26,528 --> 01:14:29,725
Judge Elroy Hacker,
Mark Chapman, Managing Editor.
950
01:14:29,865 --> 01:14:32,925
- Glad to meet you, Judge.
- How do, Mr. Chapman?
951
01:14:33,902 --> 01:14:35,893
- Sit down, Judge.
- Thanks.
952
01:14:36,772 --> 01:14:38,672
Does the judge's needle sew anything up?
953
01:14:38,740 --> 01:14:41,231
Everything but knotting the thread
at the end.
954
01:14:41,310 --> 01:14:42,937
I mean the noose.
955
01:14:44,046 --> 01:14:45,240
What have you got?
956
01:14:45,314 --> 01:14:48,511
The identity of Mrs. Lonely Heart
and her husband.
957
01:14:49,117 --> 01:14:51,711
Judge Hacker married them
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
958
01:14:51,787 --> 01:14:54,688
Their names are Charlotte and George Grant.
959
01:14:58,827 --> 01:14:59,953
Did you get that, Mark?
960
01:15:00,028 --> 01:15:03,327
The name of the Lonely Heart Killer
is George Grant.
961
01:15:03,699 --> 01:15:05,530
Yeah, I heard you. Go on.
962
01:15:05,601 --> 01:15:08,229
Strike two. The judge is sure
he can identify George Grant
963
01:15:08,303 --> 01:15:10,203
when he sees him again.
964
01:15:10,806 --> 01:15:13,969
You see, I took this picture myself.
965
01:15:14,710 --> 01:15:17,338
A little extra service
the judge gave his bridal couples.
966
01:15:17,412 --> 01:15:20,711
Yes. I'd send them a print
and put one in my own scrapbook.
967
01:15:20,782 --> 01:15:22,579
The judge even furnished
the "just married" sign.
968
01:15:22,651 --> 01:15:24,118
Judge, you said
you married them in Middlebury,
969
01:15:24,186 --> 01:15:27,883
- but Steve found you in Franklin.
- I retired seven years ago.
970
01:15:27,956 --> 01:15:31,323
I'm partial to fishing,
so I moved over on the coast.
971
01:15:32,027 --> 01:15:34,928
I only happened
to see your circular by chance,
972
01:15:34,997 --> 01:15:37,830
in the office of a justice friend of mine.
973
01:15:40,602 --> 01:15:43,571
I always said you were born
in a field of shamrocks.
974
01:15:43,639 --> 01:15:47,769
Sure. The McClearys raised their kids
on nothing but rabbits' feet.
975
01:15:48,410 --> 01:15:52,471
Judge, what makes you so sure
you can identify George Grant today?
976
01:15:54,383 --> 01:15:57,250
Well, mainly because right after
I took that wedding picture,
977
01:15:57,319 --> 01:16:00,482
this Grant got vexed at his wife
about something.
978
01:16:01,590 --> 01:16:05,651
I can remember his voice, snapping at her.
His face getting red...
979
01:16:07,696 --> 01:16:11,598
I know what's in your bonnet, Mark.
We still have to find George Grant.
980
01:16:11,667 --> 01:16:14,363
A needle's nothing but a hunk of steel
if you've got nothing to sew.
981
01:16:14,436 --> 01:16:15,801
We just need the thread.
982
01:16:15,871 --> 01:16:18,203
I figure we'll pick that up
right here in New York.
983
01:16:18,273 --> 01:16:21,367
When the police line up all the local
George Grants for the judge to look over.
984
01:16:23,745 --> 01:16:27,416
That's Julie. I dropped her off
at headquarters to tell Davis what we've got.
985
01:16:29,251 --> 01:16:32,618
Friend Davis is steaming
like a pressure cooker, as I said he would.
986
01:16:32,688 --> 01:16:33,746
He'll simmer down.
987
01:16:33,822 --> 01:16:36,484
So will your
lining up the George Grants idea.
988
01:16:36,558 --> 01:16:40,255
Davis says he'll do nothing until you turn
Judge Hacker over to the police.
989
01:16:40,329 --> 01:16:42,763
- Steve, you can't hold...
- Relax, doll. He'll see the judge later.
990
01:16:42,831 --> 01:16:44,924
Not tonight he won't.
The judge is our exclusive beat.
991
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,230
Nobody gets to him
till our story breaks tomorrow.
992
01:16:47,302 --> 01:16:49,031
I don't trust cops.
993
01:16:51,607 --> 01:16:52,904
You and Julie start writing the story.
994
01:16:52,975 --> 01:16:56,308
I'll put the judge in a side-street hotel
where nobody will get to him.
995
01:16:56,378 --> 01:16:57,902
Come on, Judge.
996
01:17:01,316 --> 01:17:03,648
I'll just wait for Mr. McCleary.
997
01:17:04,987 --> 01:17:06,921
He was going to put me up at his place.
998
01:17:06,989 --> 01:17:08,581
That's the first place
the wolves will start baying.
999
01:17:08,657 --> 01:17:10,921
You better come with me, Judge.
1000
01:17:10,993 --> 01:17:15,157
No, I don't think it would be wise
for me to go with you, Mr. Grant.
1001
01:17:15,731 --> 01:17:18,325
- Mister...
- Chapman, Judge. Not Grant.
1002
01:17:18,734 --> 01:17:21,294
You'd better give your brain a rest.
You're gonna need it.
1003
01:17:21,370 --> 01:17:22,735
He may be Chapman now,
1004
01:17:22,804 --> 01:17:27,104
but 21 years ago, when I married them,
he was George Grant.
1005
01:17:27,509 --> 01:17:29,534
And he was a newspaperman.
1006
01:17:30,379 --> 01:17:34,145
I remember now. He said he worked
on the paper over in Waterford.
1007
01:17:34,216 --> 01:17:37,549
Waterford, Connecticut, was that town
I couldn't think of.
1008
01:17:37,619 --> 01:17:40,110
But I knew I'd remember that voice.
1009
01:17:40,422 --> 01:17:44,586
His face... You've changed.
But it's the same man.
1010
01:17:45,060 --> 01:17:48,086
You remember that $5,000 reward, though,
don't you, Judge?
1011
01:17:48,163 --> 01:17:51,428
Judge. This is impossible.
You're getting confused.
1012
01:17:51,633 --> 01:17:54,864
He sounds to me as though
he knows exactly what he's saying.
1013
01:17:54,936 --> 01:17:57,837
This is idiotic!
Screwball, crackbrained lunacy!
1014
01:17:57,906 --> 01:18:01,364
And that's just the kind of a witness
the judge is going to make, too, Steve.
1015
01:18:01,443 --> 01:18:03,240
The police have that specimen
of hair and flesh
1016
01:18:03,311 --> 01:18:05,905
found under Mrs. Grant's fingernails.
1017
01:18:06,348 --> 01:18:09,283
I think we'd better get in touch with Davis.
1018
01:18:09,551 --> 01:18:11,212
No phone, Allison.
1019
01:18:21,797 --> 01:18:26,359
Julie pegged you right off.
But me, still wet behind the ears McCleary.
1020
01:18:27,235 --> 01:18:29,328
I went for the sleigh ride.
1021
01:18:29,971 --> 01:18:35,409
I practically built the pedestal for Chapman.
The great newspaperman. The great guy.
1022
01:18:36,778 --> 01:18:41,545
There ought to be a special Pulitzer Prize
for the world's biggest sucker, McCleary.
1023
01:18:41,616 --> 01:18:44,141
Just another one of your stupid slobs!
1024
01:18:44,219 --> 01:18:45,948
Things happen, Steve,
and then there's just no end.
1025
01:18:46,021 --> 01:18:47,921
Killing my wife was an accident.
1026
01:18:47,989 --> 01:18:51,823
And Charlie. Charlie Barnes,
who never hurt a fly in his life.
1027
01:18:52,294 --> 01:18:54,057
A washed-up drunken rummy
who had nothing to live for
1028
01:18:54,129 --> 01:18:55,790
against a career
that was just reaching its prime.
1029
01:18:55,864 --> 01:18:59,322
- It wasn't an even exchange.
- You've got a great career ahead of you now.
1030
01:18:59,401 --> 01:19:02,302
That's all down the drain.
I gotta to make different plans now.
1031
01:19:02,370 --> 01:19:04,736
You should have started running
when you got my wire, sucker!
1032
01:19:04,806 --> 01:19:06,501
I gambled.
The stakes are big enough, you don't run
1033
01:19:06,575 --> 01:19:10,443
unless there's nothing else left to do.
Don't try it, kid.
1034
01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:30,190
Steve!
1035
01:19:50,986 --> 01:19:53,011
We're just too close, kid.
1036
01:19:57,292 --> 01:20:02,059
I figured I'd find you birds here.
Still playing me for a pushover, aren't you?
1037
01:20:04,032 --> 01:20:06,227
Steve, you remember how I told you
1038
01:20:06,301 --> 01:20:09,464
that someday you'd run into
a really great story?
1039
01:20:09,905 --> 01:20:11,736
Well, this one ought to do it, huh?
1040
01:20:12,474 --> 01:20:14,374
Yeah, this one will do.
1041
01:20:14,976 --> 01:20:16,603
I'll give you the lead on it.
1042
01:20:17,846 --> 01:20:18,972
"The elusive Lonely Heart Killer,
1043
01:20:19,047 --> 01:20:20,708
"object of a nationwide search
for the past two weeks,
1044
01:20:20,782 --> 01:20:23,774
"was last night trapped in the office
of the <i>New York Express.</i>
1045
01:20:25,387 --> 01:20:27,321
"He was apprehended
due to the persistence of a reporter
1046
01:20:27,389 --> 01:20:30,449
"who learned his trade
from the killer himself.
1047
01:20:31,259 --> 01:20:32,920
"The murderer was revealed
to be Mark Chapman,

01:20:32,994 --> 01:20:35,827
"Managing Editor of the <i>New York Express."</i>
1049
01:20:37,766 --> 01:20:42,601
- Write it up big, kid. It'll sell a lot of papers.
- All right, drop it, Chapman.

Mark Chapman, editor of the New York Express, has made the newspaper a success by pursuing sensationalism and yellow journalism. His protégé is ace reporter Steve McCleary, while successful feature writer Julie Allison is frustrated by the paper's drift towards raking the muck. One night, during a lonely hearts dance organized by the Express, Chapman's estranged wife confronts him and demands that he visit her hotel room. It is revealed that Chapman's real name is George Grant, and he abandoned his wife decades earlier, changing his identity. When Chapman rebuffs her efforts toward reconciliation, she threatens to publicize his real identity. Chapman tries to restrain her, accidentally killing her in the scuffle.
Chapman attempts to cover up his crime, posing the scene to look like an accident. The police initially believe she slipped in the bathtub, but McCleary begins covering the case, and his reporting reveals it was a murder. McCleary is eager to run the story, and Chapman must acquiesce to avoid suspicion. The "mystery" murderer is dubbed the "Lonely Hearts Killer." Charlie Barnes, an alcoholic former star reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner, stumbles upon the dead woman's suitcase, in which he finds wedding photographs showing Chapman (then Grant) and his wife. He realizes that Chapman must be the killer. Barnes contacts Allison, who has been kind to him, attempting to give her the scoop, but Chapman overhears the conversation. He intercepts and kills Barnes before he can reveal the truth to a rival publication. This act only increases public interest in the story of the Lonely Hearts Killer, much to Chapman's frustration.
Assisted by Allison, McCleary continues to track down clues and leads. Eventually he locates another photo from Chapman/Grant's wedding, although the groom is shot in profile and it is not obvious that it is Chapman. McCleary and Allison travel to Connecticut to find the judge who married the murdered woman and the man in the photograph. After a week of searching, they identify the judge who conducted the marriage. They bring him back to the newspaper building, where he identifies Chapman as the groom and thus the Lonely Hearts Killer. McCleary is incredulous, but Allison puts the pieces together and the desperate Chapman pulls a gun on them. The police arrive, and Chapman cannot bring himself to shoot McCleary. Instead, he gives McCleary his blessing to publish all details of his crimes and then commits suicide by cop.

1
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,468
I know how you feel, lady.
2
00:01:52,545 --> 00:01:54,445
Just take your time
and tell me what happened.
3
00:01:54,514 --> 00:01:57,915
He had this meat ax, her blood all over it.
4
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:03,187
My brother-in-law had it.
Blood all over his hands, all over his shirt.
5
00:02:03,389 --> 00:02:05,687
I can't talk about it, Officer.
6
00:02:05,859 --> 00:02:08,851
I know it's rough, lady,
but I have to have the facts.
7
00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:14,298
He comes staggering out in the hall.
He says, "I did it. Call the cops."
8
00:02:15,101 --> 00:02:16,125
And then he...
9
00:02:16,202 --> 00:02:19,467
Snap it up, Captain.
Lieutenant Davis just blew in.
10
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,303
What's he going to do, Officer?
11
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:25,003
- I'm not a cop, lady.
- But you said...
12
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:27,610
All I said was,
"I had to ask you some questions."
13
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,079
I'm from the <i>Express.</i>
14
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:33,984
You made me go through all that.
Why, you're not decent! You're not human!
15
00:02:34,754 --> 00:02:38,121
- Sorry, lady. All part of the job.
- Well, well, Lieutenant Davis.
16
00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:42,252
- Say, this must have been a homicide.
- Hi, Lieutenant. Wait till you hear it.
17
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:45,092
- A messy one.
- You keep pulling stuff like this, McCleary,
18
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:50,193
and so help me, if it's the last thing I do,
I'll run you in! Now, that's a warning!
19
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:18,591
This is KL-75263. Get me Plaza-52099.
20
00:03:19,532 --> 00:03:24,401
You know, that wasn't a bad-Iooking dame.
Too bad the guy used an ax on her head.
21
00:03:25,271 --> 00:03:27,796
Spoiled some pretty pictures for me.
22
00:03:28,908 --> 00:03:31,877
Hey, Mark, have you put on the gloves
with those stockholders yet?
23
00:03:32,178 --> 00:03:34,203
Hi. No, I'm just taping up my hands.
24
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,976
<i>Well, you can tell them we got</i>
<i>another neat and gory one coming up.</i>
25
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:39,177
<i>Hatchet murder. Lower East Side tenement.</i>
26
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:41,652
<i>Wrapped up an exclusive interview</i>
<i>with an eyewitness.</i>
27
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:43,211
You got plenty of art?
28
00:03:43,289 --> 00:03:45,052
Yeah. Biddle grabbed all he could
of the body.
29
00:03:45,124 --> 00:03:49,185
A dame, very messy.
Got a great hysterical close-up of her sister.
30
00:03:49,529 --> 00:03:52,828
I'll even write the caption for you.
"I seen him with a bloody meat ax."
31
00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:54,592
Good. With that, I can sell papers.
32
00:03:54,667 --> 00:03:57,295
Give it to rewrite and we'll get it in the final.
Hold on. What do you want?
33
00:03:57,370 --> 00:04:00,237
Mr. Madison called down
from the boardroom again, Mr. Chapman.
34
00:04:00,306 --> 00:04:02,831
You hear that?
I'm letting them stew in their financial juices.
35
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:05,067
Well, don't overdo it. I like this job.
36
00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:08,273
You've never gone backwards
with me before, have you, kid?
37
00:04:08,348 --> 00:04:13,217
If we leave here, we'll bounce into
a bigger setup. I'll see you when you get in.
38
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:21,417
As one of the largest stockholders
in this corporation,
39
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:24,463
I would like to know
why the <i>New York Express,</i>
40
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:27,465
once a distinguished
and respected newspaper,
41
00:04:29,869 --> 00:04:33,600
has been allowed to become
a cheap and depraved publication.
42
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:38,835
Why has an editor been allowed
to turn a decent journal into this?
43
00:04:39,679 --> 00:04:41,613
A disgusting tabloid!
44
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,749
Pandering to the passions
of the base morons!
45
00:04:45,151 --> 00:04:47,847
I demand an explanation, Frank Madison.
46
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:54,750
Well, Mrs. Rawley, I...
In defense of Mark Chapman, I...
47
00:04:54,827 --> 00:04:58,263
Mr. Madison, I'd like to handle
my own defense, if you don't mind.
48
00:04:58,331 --> 00:04:59,855
Just as you say, Mark.
49
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:05,428
Mrs. Rawley, I think you
and the other stockholders should know
50
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:07,496
that your publisher hired me
as executive editor
51
00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:09,837
with full rights to transform this newspaper.
52
00:05:10,677 --> 00:05:14,443
He did this for a very simple reason.
He was fed up with operating at a loss.
53
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:18,611
Why did Mr. Madison hire me?
Well, he felt it was time that the <i>Express</i>
54
00:05:18,685 --> 00:05:21,745
buried its antiquated negative approach,
such as this.
55
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:25,756
But who won?
56
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:29,920
And become a positive newspaper.
We're in a business, ladies and gentlemen,
57
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:34,695
a business of satisfying the hunger
of the public for thrills, escape and news.
58
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:39,271
Here's where I took over
your highly respectable white elephant.
59
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:42,172
Instead of headlining a UN story,
we gave them a vice story.
60
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:44,368
Obviously, they went for it.
61
00:05:44,544 --> 00:05:46,239
We played down
the presidential appointments
62
00:05:46,312 --> 00:05:48,644
and concentrated
on the "Gorilla Man" killings.
63
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:51,576
Here's what happened.
Thirty or forty thousand new readers.
64
00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:54,245
Why, in a year, circulation's up over 110%.
65
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,686
And when we reach 750,000,
66
00:05:56,756 --> 00:06:00,886
we'll have to pay you a big bonus.
I'm not sure I like this at all.
67
00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:02,761
Did you like the dividend check
you got last month
68
00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:04,194
for the first time in 12 years?
69
00:06:04,263 --> 00:06:07,323
I don't like this, sir.
What kind of journalism is this?
70
00:06:07,967 --> 00:06:10,026
A newspaper
staging a cheap, vulgar display
71
00:06:10,103 --> 00:06:13,266
in order to attract
the stupid slobs of the city!
72
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,865
The thousands who will attend
the Lonely Heart dance tonight,
73
00:06:15,942 --> 00:06:18,467
these poor, friendly, unhappy people
whom you call stupid slobs,
74
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:20,569
buy and read this newspaper.
75
00:06:20,646 --> 00:06:22,944
Their loyalty helped put that dividend check
in your pocket.
76
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:26,712
And I suppose you think it's a public service
when one of your reporters is arrested
77
00:06:26,786 --> 00:06:30,745
for withholding information from the police?
Or whatever it was.
78
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:34,150
This, what's his name, McCleary person,
79
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,352
and the things he writes about!
I think he should be fired!
80
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:39,295
This McCleary person
is the best young reporter I've seen
81
00:06:39,365 --> 00:06:41,060
in 25 years of newspapering.
82
00:06:41,134 --> 00:06:43,193
Before I'll fire him,
I'll throw the <i>Express</i> up for grabs
83
00:06:43,269 --> 00:06:45,669
and go to work for somebody
who appreciates real talent on a paper!
84
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:47,262
- Mark, I'm sure...
- One last thing.
85
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:50,798
The only contract I have here is a handshake
between Mr. Madison and myself.
86
00:06:50,877 --> 00:06:53,141
Now, unless you give me full rights
to run this paper the way I want,
87
00:06:53,212 --> 00:06:55,271
I'll quit after the final edition today.
88
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:58,784
Now, I'm sorry I can't stay with you
any longer. I have a newspaper to get out!
89
00:07:06,092 --> 00:07:10,426
- Your story ready, Miss Allison?
- I'll have the rest in a minute, Joey.
90
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:13,831
Mr. Chapman?
91
00:07:16,502 --> 00:07:17,696
Thanks.
92
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:26,937
McCleary story in yet, Bax?
93
00:07:32,485 --> 00:07:34,885
How'd you make out in the torture chamber?
94
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:40,450
This is good. Give it a big play.
Mac'll do a byline follow-up tomorrow.
95
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:43,825
- What are these?
- Pics for that Lonely Heart spread.
96
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:45,820
- Junk them.
- But I...
97
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:47,092
Take Peters off the Lonely Hearts.
98
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:48,997
He's photographing these slobs
like a lineup in a soup kitchen
99
00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:50,660
instead of panting for a red-hot romance.
100
00:07:50,736 --> 00:07:52,533
- Okay. But I...
- Yeah?
101
00:07:52,939 --> 00:07:54,566
Yes, Mr. Madison.
102
00:07:58,211 --> 00:08:00,611
- Get an ax, smear it with blood.
- Yeah? Whose?
103
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,171
Yours. If you can't spare any,
use chocolate syrup or something.
104
00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:07,652
Chocolate? Goody! When I'm through,
I can make a plate of fudge. Drop in.
105
00:08:08,721 --> 00:08:12,157
So, you still insist a woman having 20 kids
is worth a feature article?
106
00:08:12,225 --> 00:08:15,422
Hi, genius.
I think it's worth a whole front page.
107
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:18,391
It scares me, this maternal instinct of yours.
108
00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:20,955
Decided where you're taking me
to dinner tonight?
109
00:08:23,736 --> 00:08:25,966
If Chapman hasn't been canned,
110
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,169
you're going to dine with the worst loser
who ever paid off a bet.
111
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:31,608
Then you'd better stash some
bicarbonate soda in your bag, princess.
112
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:32,837
You're gonna need it.
113
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:35,437
Don't count your steaks
before you hear the sizzle.
114
00:08:37,617 --> 00:08:39,608
Well, what's the word? Are you ex or still?
115
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,880
They're not dumb enough
to throw out a winner.
116
00:08:41,954 --> 00:08:44,650
Congratulations. I knew you'd stick
their stocks right back in their teeth.
117
00:08:44,724 --> 00:08:46,555
I told them if they fired me,
McCleary would quit, too,
118
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:49,060
and then they'd be in real trouble.
119
00:08:49,128 --> 00:08:50,527
I wouldn't put it past them
to try and dump you
120
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:53,929
to get out of paying the bonus that's
staring them right in their glassy eyes.
121
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,331
I've got news for you.
122
00:08:55,401 --> 00:08:57,528
I'm going to cut you in
for a piece of that bonus.
123
00:08:57,603 --> 00:08:59,298
What do you want me to do, retire?
124
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:00,566
I thought we could make a deal with Madison
125
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,698
to buy some of the company's stock.
126
00:09:01,774 --> 00:09:03,901
You know, kid,
we could end up owning this newspaper.
127
00:09:03,976 --> 00:09:06,536
- Well, that's the best offer I've had all week.
- I'll make you another one.
128
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:09,080
I'll take you to dinner tonight.
You pick the spot.
129
00:09:10,349 --> 00:09:14,012
I'll make you a better offer.
My date's buying. She lost a bet.
130
00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:17,544
The Grand Duchess from Vassar again?
The way I feel, I can put up with anything.
131
00:09:17,623 --> 00:09:19,818
- I'm more worried, can she put up with you?
- Get her ready.
132
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:24,124
We've got to be at the ballroom at 8:00.
There's no time for nose powder.
133
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:32,597
Don't break your ears with that grin.
I can see. He's still in.
134
00:09:33,005 --> 00:09:36,532
- No loud whoops of joy, baby?
- Well, I tried everything.
135
00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:39,770
I crossed my fingers,
said prayers, burned candles.
136
00:09:39,845 --> 00:09:43,713
- Who's your tailor, princess?
- Let's get out of here.
137
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,075
I've had to look at that Chapman face all day.
138
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:50,714
I've got to cover his fiasco tonight
and suffer some more.
139
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:53,987
At least just looking at you for an hour
will be a welcome change.
140
00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:57,496
- Lf you're taking me to dinner, let's go.
- Taking him?
141
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,195
Wait a minute.
Our bet was between you and me.
142
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:03,463
Our bet was loser buys dinner.
We didn't say for how many.
143
00:10:03,536 --> 00:10:06,994
- Why, you double-crossing...
- I knew you'd be a good loser.
144
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:10,807
Someday remind me to tell you about girls.
145
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:20,248
You talk a couple of these suckers
into getting married.
146
00:10:20,319 --> 00:10:21,581
These Lonely Heart slobs got the gimmies,
147
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:23,519
and we've got plenty to give them
from the advertisers.
148
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:25,284
If you talk one couple
into getting married by 9:00,
149
00:10:25,358 --> 00:10:27,883
by 12:00 we'll have a dozen lined up
for wedded bliss.
150
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,155
- McCleary, the Brooklyn cupid.
- McCleary, the human yes man.
151
00:10:30,229 --> 00:10:31,594
Hey, Julie!
152
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:34,155
- Hello, Charlie.
- Charlie.
153
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:38,225
- How are you, Barnes?
- Fine, Mark. You're looking fit. McCleary.
154
00:10:38,571 --> 00:10:39,595
Thank you.
155
00:10:39,672 --> 00:10:41,799
What goes on? Are you ghosting
Allison's features, Charlie?
156
00:10:41,874 --> 00:10:43,774
No, he's helping me with research
for that series
157
00:10:43,843 --> 00:10:45,640
on historical monuments in New York.
158
00:10:45,711 --> 00:10:47,872
You couldn't pick a better man.
I ought to know.
159
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:50,006
Remember those old days, Mark?
160
00:10:50,082 --> 00:10:53,813
Like the time I cut the phone cables
at the Lindbergh trial?
161
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:55,520
You scooped me. Almost cost me my job.
162
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:59,957
Scooped you, the wire services,
scooped everybody. That was the year...
163
00:11:00,026 --> 00:11:02,358
That was the year you won the Pulitzer Prize.
164
00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:06,826
Listen, Mark.
This stuff I've been doing for Julie, it's...
165
00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:13,200
- Mark, I think I'm ready to go back to work.
- That's fine. I'm glad to hear it, Charlie.
166
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,164
How about it, Mark? How about a job?
167
00:11:19,645 --> 00:11:21,510
- Why not?
- Thanks.
168
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:25,447
- Charlie, I'm so proud of you!
- This is gonna take a little juggling.
169
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:26,849
I won't be able to do anything right away.
170
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:28,978
Look, Charlie, I'll call you.
We're late, we gotta rush.
171
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:31,785
Sure, Mark, I know how it is,
always on the go.
172
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:35,258
- Coffee in the morning? Skinners?
- Sure thing, Julie.
173
00:11:40,199 --> 00:11:41,257
All the time I thought you were a...
174
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:43,699
- How much did you give him?
- $10. He earned it.
175
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:44,929
Ten bucks?
176
00:11:45,004 --> 00:11:47,336
- Buy a lot of whiskey.
- Did you see that rum-dumb?
177
00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:49,806
- Come midnight, he'll be in the gutter.
- Now, wait a minute.
178
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:51,274
He's an alky, Julie.
You shouldn't give an alky
179
00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:52,367
more than a buck at a time.
180
00:11:52,445 --> 00:11:55,414
You're liable to kill him.
Ten bucks, he can take a bath in it.
181
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:58,314
But... Well, this job
will change everything for him.
182
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:01,319
Job? I wouldn't have him in my office,
let alone on my staff.
183
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:04,117
In you go, sucker. Where are you going?
184
00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:07,085
I'm not going to let him go off believing this.
185
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:10,617
- Do you want to break his heart?
- Do I? What do you think you're doing?
186
00:12:10,696 --> 00:12:13,358
I'm giving him hopes and dreams.
A rummy like that lives on dreams.
187
00:12:13,432 --> 00:12:17,061
- He's happy. Why spoil it?
- Happy? Happy like your Lonely Hearts,
188
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,798
looking forward to those big romances
they've been promised?
189
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:23,069
- Only Charlie's romance is with a bottle.
- Get in.
190
00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:48,057
Biddle, don't leave that camera at half mast.
Stop goldbricking on the other guys.
191
00:12:48,134 --> 00:12:52,127
I must have got 100 shots already,
Mr. Chapman. My arm's giving out.
192
00:12:52,204 --> 00:12:56,334
You've only started. I want shots of people
from every state. Now start shooting.
193
00:12:58,911 --> 00:13:01,038
How are you doing, princess?
194
00:13:01,147 --> 00:13:04,116
Well, it's an effort,
but I'm trying to keep from screaming.
195
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:06,981
You were a real bundle of laughs
during dinner, too.
196
00:13:07,052 --> 00:13:08,781
Why don't you simmer down now?
197
00:13:08,854 --> 00:13:10,515
You're not so pretty
when your feathers are all ruffled.
198
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:13,183
Don't, Steve. I'm in no mood for levity.
199
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:17,491
- Do you feel like dancing?
- Do you figure that'll smooth my feathers?
200
00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:21,691
I've got a great idea for you. Grab yourself
one of these Lonely Heart boys.
201
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:25,066
Tell him you're a club date. Con him.
Get his life history.
202
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:28,903
- And there's your feature for tomorrow.
- Mark Chapman, Junior.
203
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:31,568
It'll sell papers, you left that out.
204
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:34,871
Happy hunting, cupid.
Mustn't let the boss down.
205
00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:38,312
Save at least one dance for me, princess.
206
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:58,034
Every time I aim my lens
at one of these walking zombies,
207
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:01,334
I think of the time
I covered the Miss America contest.
208
00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:03,705
The tears almost start to flow.
209
00:14:06,378 --> 00:14:09,370
From McCleary, you get nothing but service.
Ten minutes before 9:00,
210
00:14:09,448 --> 00:14:13,179
and couple number one. Mary and Joe
met in front of the Arkansas booth.
211
00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:16,221
It was love at first sight, almost. Right?
212
00:14:16,288 --> 00:14:20,349
Well, sure. I'm from Texas,
but I sure love that Arkansas cooking.
213
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,890
- You love her, don't you?
- Well, sure, I reckon so.
214
00:14:23,963 --> 00:14:26,158
- Mary, you love him?
- Yes.
215
00:14:26,966 --> 00:14:31,130
- See, they're crazy about each other.
- Yeah, that's fine. Hey, Edwards.
216
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:33,535
We've got a romance going here.
They're ready for the orange blossoms.
217
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,837
- Well, how do you do? And congratulations.
- Save the teeth for the bandstand.
218
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:38,171
Get up there
and make the big announcement.
219
00:14:38,244 --> 00:14:42,044
Yes, sir, Mr. Chapman.
Come with me, you lucky, lucky people.
220
00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:46,842
Hey, you ain't gonna forget about the bed
with the built-in television set?
221
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:48,614
You'll spend your honeymoon in front of it.
222
00:14:51,624 --> 00:14:55,321
- Nice going, Steve, keep punching.
- I'll get the camera boys up to cover it.
223
00:14:57,129 --> 00:15:01,862
- Did you find a feature to write about yet?
- I haven't, and I don't intend to.
224
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:05,435
This bribing of poor, ignorant dopes
into a public wedding
225
00:15:05,504 --> 00:15:07,665
is cheap, cruel and disgusting.
226
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:10,573
This whole Wild West show is ridiculous,
and I want no part of it.
227
00:15:10,643 --> 00:15:13,305
Miss Allison,
your contract has six months to run.
228
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:17,281
My contract was made with Mr. Madison
before you took over the <i>Express.</i>
229
00:15:17,349 --> 00:15:18,543
If you don't like the way I run the paper,
230
00:15:18,617 --> 00:15:21,245
I have an agreement
that might be satisfactory to both of us.
231
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,811
Take six months' vacation with pay!
232
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:30,286
No, thank you, Mr. Chapman. I'll work it out.
I like my feature writing.
233
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,898
Thinking people like it, too,
234
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:37,561
even though there aren't many of them
buying the <i>Express</i> anymore. Good night!
235
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:43,605
That's it.
236
00:15:50,382 --> 00:15:53,613
<i>Friends, brothers and sisters</i>
<i>in the Lonely Hearts Club.</i>
237
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:55,677
<i>I have wonderful news for you,</i>
238
00:15:55,754 --> 00:15:59,747
<i>living proof that this magnificent club</i>
<i>is more than just a name.</i>
239
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:04,386
<i>But first, how would you like to meet</i>
<i>the great man who created your club?</i>
240
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:11,998
<i>Mr. Mark Chapman,</i>
<i>editor of the</i> New York Express.
241
00:16:12,071 --> 00:16:14,665
<i>Put the spotlight on him, over there!</i>
242
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,782
<i>Now here's the wonderful news.</i>
243
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:37,056
<i>Meet Mary and Joe, two happy people</i>
<i>who came here tonight as total strangers.</i>
244
00:16:37,463 --> 00:16:42,400
<i>They met, they danced, they found love.</i>
<i>They're going to get married!</i>
245
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,474
George?
246
00:16:57,516 --> 00:17:00,041
<i>- As the first couple who fell in love tonight...</i>
- George Grant!
247
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:01,814
<i>...Mary and Joe will receive...</i>
- It is you!
248
00:17:01,887 --> 00:17:03,752
<i>...compliments of the</i> Express...
- Charlotte.
249
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:05,119
<i>... a wedding night in a New York hotel...</i>
250
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:08,921
Finding you here...
I was so sure that you must be dead.
251
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:11,759
George Grant is dead.
252
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:14,259
Yes, I just heard.
253
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,134
- You're the...
- We can't talk here.
254
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:19,901
We can talk at my place, George.
255
00:17:20,806 --> 00:17:23,036
We've got a lot to talk about.
256
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:26,509
Go on out. I'll meet you at the side entrance.
257
00:17:32,785 --> 00:17:35,151
The years have been kinder to you.
258
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:38,621
What is it, 19, 20?
I used to keep track, but I don't...
259
00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:41,716
What's the difference?
Now that you found me, what do you want?
260
00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:57,401
May I?
261
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:07,375
- Come on, quit stalling around.
- What was it they called you at the ball?
262
00:18:07,453 --> 00:18:08,977
- Mark?
- Chapman.
263
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:15,755
When did you change your name, George?
Right after you left me?
264
00:18:17,062 --> 00:18:18,962
So I wouldn't find you?
265
00:18:19,631 --> 00:18:21,292
You knew I was so crazy about you
266
00:18:21,366 --> 00:18:24,028
I'd look and look and look,
didn't you, George?
267
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,697
Come on, get to it. What do you want?
268
00:18:27,739 --> 00:18:32,574
You're still in a hurry, aren't you?
That's the thing I remember best about you.
269
00:18:32,878 --> 00:18:37,645
The fellow who always ran and never walked.
Had to get places fast!
270
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,749
And you got places, didn't you, George?
271
00:18:44,323 --> 00:18:46,883
Here, you need some money?
Here's some for now.
272
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,860
Money? The payoff, George?
273
00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:54,497
How much? How much for each year?
274
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:58,633
How much for the agony
and the heartbreak and the fear?
275
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:03,141
- Charlotte, cut the ham act.
- This could be for the doctor bill, see?
276
00:19:06,578 --> 00:19:10,173
I was 20 years younger then,
took things more seriously.
277
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:14,142
I can't imagine how much.
278
00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:18,087
You're boring me now, like you always did.
279
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:20,388
People always bored you
280
00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:23,155
when you didn't have
any more use for them, didn't they, George?
281
00:19:23,228 --> 00:19:25,025
Bores and nuisances, I get rid of them.
282
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:27,497
Yeah, the same gentle way
you got rid of me.
283
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:28,692
My lawyer will get in touch with you.
284
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:31,702
He'll arrange a quiet divorce
and generous alimony.
285
00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:34,671
You're an important man now,
aren't you, George?
286
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:37,038
Editor of the <i>New York Express.</i>
287
00:19:38,977 --> 00:19:43,346
I never thought I'd be the wife of the editor
of a big New York newspaper.
288
00:19:43,415 --> 00:19:47,112
You're not, and don't get any ideas
about forcing yourself.
289
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:51,020
You've got nothing to gain by refusing me
a divorce now like you did 20 years ago.
290
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:56,759
I was young then and so foolishly in love.
I wanted so much to hold onto you.
291
00:19:57,496 --> 00:20:00,021
I made all of my mistakes when I was young,
and you were the biggest one.
292
00:20:00,098 --> 00:20:02,794
I fell for an attractive hunk of flesh.
293
00:20:04,169 --> 00:20:07,627
"Hold me." You didn't try to hang on.
You strangled me.
294
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,936
I'd smother to death with you.
295
00:20:15,747 --> 00:20:19,808
Turnabout's fair play.
When you walked out on me, I died inside.
296
00:20:20,352 --> 00:20:23,116
When I walk out of here, you're gonna die.
297
00:20:23,188 --> 00:20:27,852
Everything you worked for, grabbed for,
ruined people to get, it's all gonna die!
298
00:20:27,926 --> 00:20:29,393
You're a neurotic screwball!
299
00:20:29,461 --> 00:20:33,955
I'm gonna spread your story all over town.
Mark Chapman, the great editor!
300
00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:37,829
Wife deserter!
Living under a false name for 20 years.
301
00:20:39,137 --> 00:20:42,334
What else did you cover up
living under a phony name?
302
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:44,637
Your publishers are gonna love this.
303
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:49,044
And the other papers, they'll cut you
to ribbons with this information!
304
00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,470
Hi, honey, let me have the city room.
305
00:23:33,812 --> 00:23:37,179
This is Elkins.
If you need me, I'm over in Skinners.
306
00:23:38,316 --> 00:23:41,808
What? Having breakfast. Yeah, breakfast.
307
00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:53,323
Yes, Julie, after that fortunate
and historical meeting with Mark yesterday,
308
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:57,629
I had considerable difficulty
wooing the fickle Morpheus.
309
00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:01,939
That explains it.
Those bleeding eyes today.
310
00:24:02,474 --> 00:24:05,341
Well, I did have a couple
with the boys down below.
311
00:24:05,410 --> 00:24:08,277
A sort of celebration, and then farewell.
312
00:24:11,049 --> 00:24:13,574
You should have left them long ago, Charlie.
313
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:15,916
Any man who was big enough
in his day to rate that,
314
00:24:16,555 --> 00:24:20,389
a place in Skinner's Hall of Fame,
is still too big for Dead-End Street.
315
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:25,028
No regrets, Julie. My temporary alliance
with the denizens of the Bowery
316
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:29,863
has provided me with a deeper insight
into the whys and wherefores of mankind.
317
00:24:35,674 --> 00:24:38,006
A proven medical fact,
when the human system
318
00:24:38,076 --> 00:24:40,840
has been lengthily nurtured
on alcoholic stimulants,
319
00:24:40,912 --> 00:24:44,871
any abrupt cessation of same
will result in a negative reaction.
320
00:24:45,016 --> 00:24:46,381
Absolutely.
321
00:24:47,652 --> 00:24:52,385
But I'm tapering off. I'll be a firmly-rooted
passenger on the old water wagon
322
00:24:52,524 --> 00:24:54,856
by the time Mark's ready for me.
323
00:24:57,295 --> 00:25:01,561
Charlie, don't bet everything
on Mark Chapman.
324
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:06,666
He won't let me down.
First time I felt ready, I asked him for a job,
325
00:25:06,938 --> 00:25:10,032
and what happened?
He offered me one, didn't he?
326
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:15,173
- Mr. Lonely Heart.
- Compliments of the <i>Express,</i> Myrtle.
327
00:25:15,747 --> 00:25:18,545
- I see you read. You stick with the radio.
- Yeah.
328
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:20,744
Hey, McCleary,
I read that rag of yours by accident.
329
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:23,287
Yeah, me, too.
From ax murder to Ionely hearts.
330
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:25,653
What are you trying to prove,
you're versatile or something?
331
00:25:25,724 --> 00:25:27,885
What are you gentlemen
reading our rag for?
332
00:25:27,959 --> 00:25:30,427
Trying to find out
what's happening that's news?
333
00:25:30,495 --> 00:25:32,929
Good morning, kiddies. What's the word?
334
00:25:35,066 --> 00:25:36,624
Silly, that's the word.
335
00:25:36,701 --> 00:25:38,635
Still a heaping bunch of joy,
aren't you, princess?
336
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:43,663
Lonely Hearts Ball. Journalism has certainly
changed since the old days.
337
00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:47,302
What happened to you last night?
Pulled a fast fade on me.
338
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:50,712
- Don't tell me you actually missed me?
- I needed protection.
339
00:25:50,782 --> 00:25:53,250
Some of our love-hungry subscribers
got mixed up.
340
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:56,014
They were offering me deep-freezes
and vacuum cleaners.
341
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:59,318
- I'm surprised you refused.
- How do you know I did?
342
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:02,849
Certainly heavy coverage
on the unrequited passion set.
343
00:26:03,261 --> 00:26:06,924
Our love and romance edition, Charlie.
Even the crossword puzzle.
344
00:26:06,998 --> 00:26:08,966
But nothing from the Allison corner.
345
00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:12,335
Not interested in romance, Julie?
346
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:16,465
Not the kind that blossoms
on free gas stoves and television sets.
347
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:21,235
- About that Lonely Heart gag, I've got a...
- Steve, on the radio.
348
00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:27,652
- Julie. Hi, Charlie.
- Hi, Biddle.
349
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:31,086
Police call. Dead dame in a flat
on Third Avenue. Are you interested?
350
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:33,090
Well, she'd probably be a cheerful change.
351
00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:36,685
I'm still getting the icebox treatment
from the female on my left.
352
00:26:36,761 --> 00:26:40,162
After them scarecrows I shot last night,
I figure my luck's gotta change.
353
00:26:40,231 --> 00:26:43,428
Even dead, this dame's bound
to have more glamour.
354
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:45,467
Let's give her a look.
355
00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:48,801
Thanks for the coffee, kitten.
356
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:03,785
Another scarecrow. I'm batting goose eggs.
357
00:27:05,323 --> 00:27:07,848
Dames have got to make trouble
even when they die, don't they, pal?
358
00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:11,384
Yeah, water downstairs and water upstairs.
359
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:14,531
Probably wanted a room
with a swimming pool.
360
00:27:14,966 --> 00:27:16,866
Hey, Davis, what are you doing here?
361
00:27:16,935 --> 00:27:21,031
I just wanted to see if I couldn't get
to one of our calls before you did.
362
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:22,471
This isn't a homicide?
363
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:24,531
We got a new man
on the beat here, McCleary.
364
00:27:24,609 --> 00:27:26,167
He's built like you between the ears.
365
00:27:26,244 --> 00:27:29,975
He saw a hole in the back of the dame's head
and figured she was slugged.
366
00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:31,515
What's your guess, Lieutenant?
367
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:33,949
She put the hole
in the back of her head herself?
368
00:27:34,019 --> 00:27:36,783
Yeah, wise-eyes, that's it. That's it exactly.
369
00:27:36,855 --> 00:27:40,291
She slipped in the tub
and opened her skull on a faucet.
370
00:27:40,358 --> 00:27:43,953
- What was the lady's name, Sherlock?
- The landlady says Jane Jones.
371
00:27:44,029 --> 00:27:45,360
- Do you believe it?
- Yeah, I believe it.
372
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:47,762
I'm fresh out of nursery school.
373
00:27:48,466 --> 00:27:52,402
Jane Jones, alias Jane Doe.
Say, Dave, you're really humming.
374
00:27:53,204 --> 00:27:56,401
Look, nuisance, if you so much as make
these bedsprings squeak once again,
375
00:27:56,474 --> 00:28:00,308
- I'll throw you in the tub with the dame.
- Lieutenant, please.
376
00:28:04,616 --> 00:28:08,177
You're wrong, Dave.
She was murdered. Clear as your head.
377
00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:10,347
Murdered for her money.
378
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:13,949
Why, this lady must have spent easily
six or seven dollars a year on clothes.
379
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:15,492
Why don't you go home, McCleary?
380
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,462
There's nothing around here
to interest a big newsman like you.
381
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:27,827
Look, junior, keep your nose
in your own business, or I'll run you in
382
00:28:27,906 --> 00:28:31,137
- for obstruction, suspicion and vagrancy.
- Why, sure, Dave.
383
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:33,837
I just thought there might be something
in here to help identify her.
384
00:28:33,912 --> 00:28:35,243
No suitcase, huh?
385
00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:41,715
- In there, boys.
- Okay, Steve, I got all I need.
386
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:46,957
Thanks, Dave.
387
00:28:49,127 --> 00:28:52,062
- No, not you two again.
- What do you guys do,
388
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:54,758
smell these things
before the police call is even in?
389
00:28:54,833 --> 00:28:57,301
Try to forget your mugs.
There's a lady in the bathroom.
390
00:28:57,368 --> 00:29:00,531
- Yes, so knock before entering.
- Coming through.
391
00:29:10,381 --> 00:29:12,406
- What'd you pinch that for?
- Look familiar?
392
00:29:12,484 --> 00:29:15,544
I had them in front of me all night, didn't I?
393
00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:18,747
Hey, that's off a Lonely Hearts badge!
394
00:29:18,823 --> 00:29:22,554
Yeah. How many pictures
did you and the boys take at the ball?
395
00:29:22,627 --> 00:29:24,925
Three, maybe four hundred. I don't know.
396
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:27,260
Rush the print of Miss Bathtub
through the lab.
397
00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:28,594
Then check it against the others.
398
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:30,964
- See if you can match them up, okay?
- Sure.
399
00:29:31,035 --> 00:29:34,937
- Shouldn't take more than a week.
- Yeah, but I want it done in an hour.
400
00:29:35,006 --> 00:29:36,701
- I'll see you at the office.
- Where are you going?
401
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:39,903
I'm gonna hitch a ride to the morgue.
If you match them, call me.
402
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,674
How about a ride to the morgue, Pete?
403
00:30:04,969 --> 00:30:07,096
Hey, Needle Nellie, anybody home?
404
00:30:07,172 --> 00:30:08,662
Hey, handsome.
405
00:30:09,007 --> 00:30:11,271
- How you doing, sweetheart?
- Doing all right, handsome.
406
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:13,037
Come here and give us a kiss.
407
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,815
- How's business at the morgue, Nellie?
- Dead.
408
00:30:19,551 --> 00:30:21,178
Business is dead.
409
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:25,621
- It's good to see you, handsome.
- Likewise, sweetheart.
410
00:30:25,690 --> 00:30:27,385
A long time between dates.
411
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:30,621
But right now,
I come seeking your expert female advice.
412
00:30:30,695 --> 00:30:34,131
Anybody that's lived as long as me
can give it. Shoot.
413
00:30:34,732 --> 00:30:37,565
Nellie, if you had just one dress
to your name
414
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:39,535
and you'd fastened something onto it
with a safety pin,
415
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:40,969
and maybe you were in a hurry,
416
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,008
would you take time to undo the pin,
or would you rip the whole thing off?
417
00:30:44,075 --> 00:30:46,305
- This is a riddle?
- No, seriously.
418
00:30:46,377 --> 00:30:51,041
Well, if I had 10 dresses and the house
was burning down, I'd still undo the pin.
419
00:30:51,115 --> 00:30:52,639
Any lady would.
420
00:30:53,017 --> 00:30:55,485
That's what I figured.
I just wanted a woman to confirm it.
421
00:30:55,553 --> 00:30:57,453
I love you, Nellie. I love you.
422
00:30:57,522 --> 00:31:00,047
- Where you going, handsome?
- I gotta see the doc.
423
00:31:00,124 --> 00:31:01,955
Maybe I can get you some business, Nellie.
424
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:11,364
Did you get those ringside ducats
I sent you?
425
00:31:11,436 --> 00:31:13,427
Steve! Yeah, it was a great fight.
426
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:15,438
Mishke really tore that Haybelly apart,
didn't he?
427
00:31:15,506 --> 00:31:19,840
Had so much blood spattered on my glasses,
I missed the knockout punch.
428
00:31:20,478 --> 00:31:24,175
Look, Doc,
they just brought in an accidental death.
429
00:31:24,249 --> 00:31:27,047
- They're putting her in the freezer right now.
- So?
430
00:31:27,118 --> 00:31:30,110
So, I'd like you to give her
the onceover for me. An autopsy.
431
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:33,646
Accidents are out of my province.
You know that, Steve.
432
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:35,383
It's going to be
a great World Series this year.
433
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:37,087
Yeah, that it is.
434
00:31:37,528 --> 00:31:41,362
I don't suppose you'd be interested
in viewing the festivities from a box seat?
435
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:47,132
Are you trying to bribe a city official?
436
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:51,135
Right behind first base, Doc.
437
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:11,028
Yeah. Yeah, get some prints ready.
I think we've got our front page.
438
00:32:11,095 --> 00:32:14,792
Well, this is your lucky day. Drop back,
I want you to mark my racing form.
439
00:32:14,866 --> 00:32:16,766
Get the door, will you?
440
00:32:17,368 --> 00:32:20,064
Yeah, and don't forget, I smoke cigars.
441
00:32:20,838 --> 00:32:24,831
- Hey, Steve, let me wipe those off a little.
- Wipe them tomorrow.
442
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:32,008
Will you smile again
if I take you to dinner tonight?
443
00:32:32,083 --> 00:32:34,847
- A little celebration coming up.
- What's the celebration?
444
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:37,649
Another McCleary scoop.
Getting monotonous, isn't it?
445
00:32:37,722 --> 00:32:42,557
That dinner. A two-party celebration,
or are you bringing a friend?
446
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:44,559
Just you and me alone.
447
00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:47,825
I'll smile again.
What are the fragile treasures?
448
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:52,060
Very rare items.
Pictures of a dame with her mouth shut.
449
00:32:53,071 --> 00:32:55,972
- Joey, catch the door, will you?
- All right.
450
00:32:58,676 --> 00:33:01,270
I've been waiting a long time
for a chance to say this.
451
00:33:01,346 --> 00:33:03,439
- Stop the presses!
- Did you get a morning-after story
452
00:33:03,514 --> 00:33:05,004
on any of those couples
we married last night?
453
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:07,483
I got a story from one
of the Lonely Heart Ball guests, all right.
454
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:11,079
But she didn't get married last night.
She got murdered!
455
00:33:19,964 --> 00:33:23,263
- Who is she?
- A Jane Doe. Nobody knows her real name.
456
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:25,996
The police think she slipped in the bathtub
and bashed her head in,
457
00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:30,507
- or they did until a little while ago.
- But you knew better all the time?
458
00:33:30,575 --> 00:33:32,941
After Doc O'Hanlon got through
cutting her up for me.
459
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:36,538
She died between 9:00 and 12:00 last night,
before she went under in the tub.
460
00:33:36,614 --> 00:33:38,479
No water in her lungs.
461
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:40,283
Did he find anything else?
462
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:44,788
Yeah, her killer was a man, middle-aged,
fair complexion. Had brown hair.
463
00:33:45,390 --> 00:33:47,620
O'Hanlon found that
in scraping under her fingernails.
464
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:50,593
You ran into this
just by playing a hunch, huh?
465
00:33:50,661 --> 00:33:53,858
A string from a Lonely Heart badge
was on her dress in the closet.
466
00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:57,628
The badge had been torn off.
I followed through from there.
467
00:34:00,371 --> 00:34:04,364
Well, is this a story,
this Lonely Heart murdered after the ball?
468
00:34:04,575 --> 00:34:06,805
Can you sell papers with this?
469
00:34:10,248 --> 00:34:13,342
Baxter, Jordan, Allison,
get in here right away.
470
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:15,477
They didn't know her name, you said?
471
00:34:15,553 --> 00:34:18,920
Well, she called herself Jane Jones.
How phony can you get?
472
00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:20,014
We've just been struck by lightning.
473
00:34:20,091 --> 00:34:22,025
It's a great follow-up
for the Lonely Hearts Ball.
474
00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:24,118
Tell them about it, Steve.
475
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:30,997
We'll call her Miss Lonely Heart,
no other name. Alone in the city, friendless.
476
00:34:31,536 --> 00:34:34,801
She went to our shindig last night,
hunting for a soul mate.
477
00:34:34,872 --> 00:34:37,363
Maybe she found one, the wrong one.
478
00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:39,872
Anyway, she left early,
and sometime before midnight
479
00:34:39,944 --> 00:34:41,343
she was beaten to death in her room
480
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:44,540
by a brown-haired, middle-aged man
of fair complexion.
481
00:34:44,615 --> 00:34:46,480
A smash follow-up is right.
482
00:34:46,551 --> 00:34:49,247
The killer had a head full of brains.
Good nerves.
483
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,723
He lugged her to the bathroom,
stripped her, tossed the body in the tub.
484
00:34:54,459 --> 00:34:58,520
No. No, he stood the body in the tub.
Aimed, let go!
485
00:34:58,696 --> 00:35:03,190
Bang, her head cracks the faucet.
Almost perfect crime. Ordinary accident.
486
00:35:04,035 --> 00:35:06,936
He's working smartly,
a guy with imagination.
487
00:35:07,004 --> 00:35:10,963
He takes her slip, stockings,
washes them, hangs them up to dry.
488
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,000
He wipes his prints off everywhere.
489
00:35:13,077 --> 00:35:16,274
He starts getting rid of anything
that could identify her.
490
00:35:16,347 --> 00:35:18,907
He took a ring off her,
probably a wedding or engagement ring.
491
00:35:18,983 --> 00:35:22,111
- How do you know that?
- Whitish circle, third finger, left hand.
492
00:35:22,186 --> 00:35:25,587
- O'Hanlon spotted it at the morgue.
- All right, go on, go on.
493
00:35:25,656 --> 00:35:27,954
Well, he grabs any other personal items
that might identify her
494
00:35:28,025 --> 00:35:29,856
and throws them in her suitcase and blows.
495
00:35:29,927 --> 00:35:32,361
- How do you know she's got a suitcase?
- Every dame's got a suitcase.
496
00:35:32,430 --> 00:35:34,022
But there wasn't one
in Miss Lonely Heart's room.
497
00:35:34,098 --> 00:35:35,861
This'll kick up the circulation.
498
00:35:36,701 --> 00:35:40,137
We can make the 5:00 edition exclusive.
Steve can do the lead story.
499
00:35:40,204 --> 00:35:42,263
Jordan, I want three column cuts
of the dame's picture at the ball
500
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:44,433
and the murder photo.
Allison, write me a sob story,
501
00:35:44,509 --> 00:35:46,568
"Miss Lonely Heart
won't be Ionely anymore."
502
00:35:46,644 --> 00:35:47,736
Fine job, Steve.
503
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,303
Sure, it's a great job,
but we're gonna top it.
504
00:35:50,381 --> 00:35:51,439
How?
505
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,513
- Bury her.
- Bury her?
506
00:35:57,555 --> 00:35:59,682
The best story I ever dug up, and he tops it.
507
00:35:59,757 --> 00:36:02,157
By 5:00 tonight, Miss Lonely Heart
will be selling newspapers for us
508
00:36:02,226 --> 00:36:05,923
on every street corner in Manhattan.
Now, go on, get going.
509
00:37:42,126 --> 00:37:43,787
Be seeing you, Humpty.
510
00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:31,269
Look, I've shown you everything in the shop.
That's the last one I've got!
511
00:38:35,513 --> 00:38:36,605
Mark!
512
00:38:39,283 --> 00:38:41,217
- Mark, old boy!
- How are you, Charlie.
513
00:38:41,285 --> 00:38:45,085
What distasteful mission brings you to this
unholy neighborhood, Mark, my friend?
514
00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:46,589
I'm just looking around.
I like to keep my hand in,
515
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,124
even though I am strapped
to a desk right now.
516
00:38:48,192 --> 00:38:50,126
You wouldn't mean you're keeping
your hand in by working
517
00:38:50,194 --> 00:38:51,821
on this Lonely Heart murder,
would you, now, Mark?
518
00:38:51,896 --> 00:38:53,955
I've got a staff to take care of that for me.
519
00:38:54,031 --> 00:38:56,727
You can't kid an old newshound
like me, Mark.
520
00:38:56,801 --> 00:39:00,999
Still following our old formula,
first check the hock shops for a clue?
521
00:39:01,072 --> 00:39:03,336
Didn't wanna tip your hand
to those cops in there, did you?
522
00:39:03,407 --> 00:39:05,637
I tell you I'm not down here on business.
Now stop playing hawkshaw!
523
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:08,770
Let me show you Charlie Barnes
still has the master's touch
524
00:39:08,846 --> 00:39:11,713
- when it comes to following up a lead, Mark.
- Tell me about it later, will you,
525
00:39:11,782 --> 00:39:15,684
- when you come back to work for me?
- You're afraid I'll get drunk and tip the story.
526
00:39:15,753 --> 00:39:18,881
- I'm tapering off, Mark.
- That's fine, Charlie. I'll call you.
527
00:39:18,956 --> 00:39:23,825
Let me work this with you, Mark. I know
this whole district from gutter to rum-heads.
528
00:39:23,894 --> 00:39:26,226
Pete in the pawnshop's
an honored friend of mine.
529
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:27,992
- Yeah.
- I can get him to work with me and...
530
00:39:28,065 --> 00:39:30,898
- Hello, Charlie!
- Go away.
531
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:35,400
- Here, Charlie, here's something to count.
- I don't want a handout, Mark.
532
00:39:35,473 --> 00:39:37,498
- I want to work.
- You can pay me later. I'll call you, Charlie.
533
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:39,338
Mark, let me help...
534
00:40:13,544 --> 00:40:14,704
Hang onto them, Pete.
535
00:40:14,779 --> 00:40:17,873
We'll drop back payday
and look them over again.
536
00:40:25,022 --> 00:40:26,489
Them guys should wear glasses.
537
00:40:26,557 --> 00:40:29,185
They do so much looking,
but never no buying.
538
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:31,125
Get this for me, Pete.
539
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:34,356
Taking something out for a change
instead of putting it in, Charlie?
540
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:37,526
I admit to the novelty of the occasion, Peter.
541
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:50,109
- Hey, you didn't hock this with me.
- Doing a favor for a friend.
542
00:40:52,082 --> 00:40:56,178
Them cops. You know, if someday
they should buy something from me, I'd...
543
00:40:56,253 --> 00:40:59,620
No, that'd be bad. I'd drop dead.
544
00:41:02,226 --> 00:41:06,185
You know, Charlie, I ought to be
in some other kind of business.
545
00:41:06,697 --> 00:41:10,497
You really meet a very poor class of people
in this business.
546
00:41:10,768 --> 00:41:13,259
Not meaning anything personal,
you understand.
547
00:41:13,337 --> 00:41:16,773
But I'm always dealing with people
who are in trouble,
548
00:41:17,274 --> 00:41:21,608
people who gotta hock something.
People who gotta buy something cheap.
549
00:41:24,582 --> 00:41:28,109
I don't like cheap things.
I never did and I never will.
550
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:34,356
I should have been big fur man, maybe,
or big jewelry man.
551
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,651
Then I could deal with rich people.
552
00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:42,554
That's the kind of people
I really prefer to deal with.
553
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:47,694
- Hey! How much is on this ticket?
- Two bucks.
554
00:41:58,249 --> 00:41:59,841
Here, sign here.
555
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:08,424
You know, sometimes they say
even the rich people aren't happy.
556
00:42:08,492 --> 00:42:11,017
But how that could be, I don't know.
557
00:42:12,296 --> 00:42:15,857
Thank you, Peter.
Thank you for being in business!
558
00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:21,433
Thank you very much.
559
00:42:33,517 --> 00:42:35,041
A shot, Heeney.
560
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:38,614
You look like your blood pressure's boiling,
Charlie. What's the matter?
561
00:42:38,689 --> 00:42:40,680
The classic irony of the age, Heeney.
562
00:42:40,758 --> 00:42:43,659
Charlie Barnes, a stewbum,
rocking the newspaper world
563
00:42:43,727 --> 00:42:46,457
like he never did in all his sober days.
564
00:43:00,411 --> 00:43:02,208
- Composing.
- Yes, sir.
565
00:43:04,481 --> 00:43:07,712
Yes. Yes, madam,
I have two answers for you.
566
00:43:08,185 --> 00:43:11,313
First, you shouldn't talk
to strange men in bars.
567
00:43:11,388 --> 00:43:13,982
Second, because he asked you to marry him
568
00:43:14,058 --> 00:43:16,356
then hit you with a pretzel dish
when you refused
569
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:19,191
isn't conclusive proof
he's our Lonely Heart Killer,
570
00:43:19,263 --> 00:43:21,697
but thanks for calling, lady. Bye.
571
00:43:23,334 --> 00:43:26,326
Phony or not,
those tips belong to the police.
572
00:43:26,704 --> 00:43:30,299
When are you going to get rid of the idea
you're wearing an invisible badge?
573
00:43:30,374 --> 00:43:34,140
Julie Allison. Hello, Charlie. How are you?
574
00:43:36,714 --> 00:43:38,181
The Lonely Heart murder?
575
00:43:38,248 --> 00:43:42,844
And you've got to meet me right away.
We have to figure out how to handle this.
576
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,514
I know the killer, and it's dynamite.
577
00:43:46,757 --> 00:43:48,952
Well, Charlie,
that story is really Steve McCleary's.
578
00:43:49,026 --> 00:43:52,587
- I think you'd better talk to...
- No, no, Julie, I want you to have this.
579
00:43:52,663 --> 00:43:55,393
Now I can repay you, Julie child,
for everything.
580
00:43:55,466 --> 00:43:59,596
Julie, this is so... It's so tremendous,
it'll put both of us on top.
581
00:44:02,272 --> 00:44:04,035
What? What, Julie?
582
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:08,835
Okay, okay, both of you meet me.
583
00:44:08,912 --> 00:44:11,540
Maybe we will need
somebody like McCleary.
584
00:44:11,615 --> 00:44:14,175
Steve, Charlie says
he has information on the murder.
585
00:44:14,251 --> 00:44:18,654
- He's awfully excited about something.
- About two quarts full, probably.
586
00:44:19,890 --> 00:44:21,881
Yeah, Charlie, what's up?
587
00:44:22,726 --> 00:44:25,695
I wanted Julie to have this,
but she insists you be on in it.
588
00:44:25,763 --> 00:44:27,663
I mean you be in on it.
589
00:44:27,965 --> 00:44:30,297
- What's the matter, Charlie?
- No.
590
00:44:31,368 --> 00:44:34,462
- What? You're not sore, are you?
- No, go away!
591
00:44:36,006 --> 00:44:38,099
What? What have I got?
592
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:40,939
I've got the Lonely Heart Killer for you,
that's what!
593
00:44:41,011 --> 00:44:44,777
Gee, Charlie, that's great.
You getting him crocked so he'll confess?
594
00:44:44,848 --> 00:44:48,807
I haven't got him. I know who he is.
595
00:44:54,858 --> 00:44:55,950
What?
596
00:44:59,563 --> 00:45:03,465
Yes, I'm in a saloon.
I'm in Heeney's. But I'm not drunk.
597
00:45:04,034 --> 00:45:07,128
I've just taken the hottest story
of the century out of hock, and I'm gonna...
598
00:45:08,038 --> 00:45:11,064
He's really flying tonight.
See what your 10 bucks did?
599
00:45:11,141 --> 00:45:15,009
Stop treating him like some
weak-minded child. Listen to what he's got.
600
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:19,482
- He's not this excited for nothing.
- You know what he's got? The DTs.
601
00:45:19,616 --> 00:45:21,675
Charlie Barnes, tanked to the eyeballs,
602
00:45:21,752 --> 00:45:24,880
says he just took the Lonely Heart
murder solution out of hock.
603
00:45:26,056 --> 00:45:29,583
Hello, Charlie?
Still there? Let's start all over again.
604
00:45:30,294 --> 00:45:34,788
Listen, you mental midget. The only reason
I'm calling the <i>Express</i> is Julie Allison.
605
00:45:34,865 --> 00:45:37,732
Before I'd give this story
to an insolent young pup like you,
606
00:45:37,801 --> 00:45:39,792
I'd take it to the <i>Daily Leader!</i>
607
00:45:39,870 --> 00:45:42,304
Charlie's mad now.
Gonna sell it to the <i>Leader.</i>
608
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:46,069
- Hang up on the drunken slob.
- Julie? She just left.
609
00:45:46,477 --> 00:45:48,570
I guess we'll just have to read your story
in the <i>Leader</i> tomorrow.
610
00:45:48,645 --> 00:45:50,772
- So long, pal.
- Give me that.
611
00:45:51,815 --> 00:45:53,077
- Hello? Hello?
- Don't be silly, Julie.
612
00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:55,141
He'll just keep you up all night
listening to his fairytales.
613
00:45:55,219 --> 00:45:59,349
- Where was he calling from?
- Bellevue psycho ward, I think he said.
614
00:46:00,257 --> 00:46:01,747
Your 10 bucks.
615
00:47:13,697 --> 00:47:15,460
- Keep this for me, Heeney.
- Why, sure, Charlie.
616
00:47:15,532 --> 00:47:17,056
A couple hours.
617
00:47:17,868 --> 00:47:20,359
One more, Heeney. One for the road.
618
00:48:05,215 --> 00:48:06,739
Hello, Charlie.
619
00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:13,617
Mark. I thought you were still down
at the Bowery.
620
00:48:15,692 --> 00:48:18,024
I hear you got a story, Charlie.
621
00:48:18,195 --> 00:48:20,060
Where'd you hear that?
622
00:48:20,597 --> 00:48:25,364
- Isn't that what you told McCleary?
- Why, I was just schmoozing him, I...
623
00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:28,295
Lining him up for a little touch.
624
00:48:28,372 --> 00:48:31,432
I gave you some money.
What did you do with it?
625
00:48:31,775 --> 00:48:33,333
You didn't, by any chance,
find a pawn ticket
626
00:48:33,410 --> 00:48:36,379
- mixed in with the money, did you, Charlie?
- Pawn ticket? Why, I...
627
00:48:36,446 --> 00:48:40,177
Did you use the money
to get the story out of hock, Charlie?
628
00:48:41,218 --> 00:48:44,585
You've got something that belongs to me.
Where is it?
629
00:48:45,389 --> 00:48:47,220
You were on the way to the <i>Leader</i>
with some evidence.
630
00:48:47,291 --> 00:48:49,725
Where is it, Charlie? Where is it?
631
00:49:01,905 --> 00:49:04,738
It's a wonderful story, isn't it, Charlie?
632
00:49:05,509 --> 00:49:07,909
You wanted to be a big man, Mark.
633
00:49:08,745 --> 00:49:12,476
This will make you famous
beyond your most ambitious dreams.
634
00:49:13,884 --> 00:49:18,412
Great story?
I've waited all my life for a story like this.
635
00:49:19,456 --> 00:49:23,483
Well, you've got it, Charlie.
But you're not going to write it.
636
00:49:27,130 --> 00:49:30,622
You're crazy, Mark.
Twenty years you've covered the news.
637
00:49:30,701 --> 00:49:33,761
Seen the bright boys try this. It never works.
638
00:49:56,493 --> 00:49:59,587
We just heard about Charlie Barnes.
Rotten deal.
639
00:50:00,163 --> 00:50:04,293
It's hard when it's someone like Charlie
you've known for 22 years.
640
00:50:04,401 --> 00:50:06,164
I knew him 25 years.
641
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:10,167
I never expected to see him
laying on a slab in this place.
642
00:50:10,507 --> 00:50:15,001
Is that right, Doc? Was he found
in an alleyway across from the <i>Daily Leader?</i>
643
00:50:15,078 --> 00:50:17,205
- Steve...
- Yes, that's right.
644
00:50:17,447 --> 00:50:20,439
The <i>Daily Leader.</i> He had a story!
645
00:50:20,517 --> 00:50:23,509
But he was taking your clever,
insolent, fresh-guy advice
646
00:50:23,587 --> 00:50:27,216
- and giving it to the <i>Leader!</i>
- He was drunk, Julie. How could I know...
647
00:50:27,290 --> 00:50:29,656
Charlie Barnes never got so drunk
he didn't know a story!
648
00:50:29,726 --> 00:50:33,492
Or that he'd try to peddle
a phony tip to a newspaper! But you...
649
00:50:33,563 --> 00:50:35,394
You couldn't bother listening to him!
650
00:50:35,465 --> 00:50:38,798
You and that newsprint hero of yours,
Mark Chapman.
651
00:50:39,269 --> 00:50:41,032
You couldn't expect us to believe
that Charlie Barnes
652
00:50:41,104 --> 00:50:43,129
had any real information
on the murder, Julie.
653
00:50:43,206 --> 00:50:45,231
We still don't know that he did.
654
00:50:45,308 --> 00:50:49,711
If you and that stone-hearted, glory seeking,
"I am the great Mark Chapman"
655
00:50:49,780 --> 00:50:51,771
had thrown Charlie
the miserable crumb of respect
656
00:50:51,848 --> 00:50:54,510
of just listening to him, he'd be alive today!
657
00:50:54,584 --> 00:50:58,748
Julie, maybe you're right.
Maybe it is partly my fault Charlie's dead.
658
00:50:58,822 --> 00:51:01,882
I'm sorry. Really sorry. But what can I do?
659
00:51:02,392 --> 00:51:06,123
Don't go soft! Show Chapman
you're a chip off the old block.
660
00:51:06,596 --> 00:51:08,655
Have him give Charlie a fancy funeral.
661
00:51:08,732 --> 00:51:11,997
Great headline.
"The <i>Express</i> buries its cast-offs."
662
00:51:12,436 --> 00:51:14,097
It'll sell papers!
663
00:51:27,350 --> 00:51:31,912
Kenny, rewrite that one paragraph, will you?
Allison had a bad night. Yeah.
664
00:51:32,289 --> 00:51:35,087
I just got yesterday's figures
from circulation, Mark.
665
00:51:35,158 --> 00:51:38,491
Six hundred and ninety-six thousand.
You're moving up there.
666
00:51:38,562 --> 00:51:41,292
Looks as though it's going to cost
the <i>Express</i> some bonus money before long.
667
00:51:41,364 --> 00:51:44,765
Quicker than you can say,
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Stockholder Rawley!"
668
00:51:44,835 --> 00:51:46,666
We're only starting,
Mr. Madison, only starting.
669
00:51:46,736 --> 00:51:48,260
That's the spirit!
670
00:51:48,338 --> 00:51:50,272
When you get to the editor's chair,
remember one thing.
671
00:51:50,340 --> 00:51:54,743
You're a hero with a lifetime job,
as long as the circulation is rising.
672
00:51:55,045 --> 00:51:59,379
- What have you got there?
- Something that will keep circulation rising.
673
00:51:59,716 --> 00:52:01,581
Charlie Barnes' story.
674
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:04,378
What are you talking about?
675
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:06,820
Charlie wasn't near the <i>Daily Leader</i>
by accident, Mark.
676
00:52:06,890 --> 00:52:08,790
He had something to print.
677
00:52:08,859 --> 00:52:11,419
I couldn't find it in his effects
at the morgue this morning,
678
00:52:11,495 --> 00:52:15,932
but I found it at Heeney's bar,
the joint Charlie phoned from last night.
679
00:52:16,233 --> 00:52:19,134
Half a pawnshop ticket was still on the bag.
680
00:52:19,236 --> 00:52:21,431
Pete's Hock Shop. I checked it.
681
00:52:21,505 --> 00:52:24,838
Charlie came in the pawnshop last night
with a claim check.
682
00:52:24,908 --> 00:52:27,536
Said he was unhocking it for a friend.
683
00:52:28,478 --> 00:52:31,743
Well, what's in the bag?
Miss Lonely Heart's name and address?
684
00:52:32,916 --> 00:52:36,477
Better than that, Mark.
Much better than that.
685
00:52:38,054 --> 00:52:40,579
A picture of the guy who killed her.
686
00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:52,362
A picture?
You can't even see the guy's face!
687
00:52:52,435 --> 00:52:54,596
What's the matter, Mark?
This is the first real lead we've got.
688
00:52:54,671 --> 00:52:56,263
The way you talked,
I thought we had it all sewed up.
689
00:52:56,339 --> 00:52:59,604
Sure, it's a lead, but it's a thin one.
How much does this give us?
690
00:52:59,676 --> 00:53:04,773
Well, we're certain the dame had a husband.
They were married in 1931 in Connecticut.
691
00:53:05,248 --> 00:53:09,048
- The husband's the guy who killed her.
- How do you make that?
692
00:53:09,419 --> 00:53:11,580
The ring mark on her finger
must have been a wedding ring.
693
00:53:11,655 --> 00:53:14,055
The inscription inside
could have identified him.
694
00:53:14,124 --> 00:53:16,388
And he grabbed the pawn ticket
figuring she'd hocked some belongings
695
00:53:16,459 --> 00:53:18,893
- that might peg him.
- Makes sense.
696
00:53:19,396 --> 00:53:22,194
Charlie got the pawn ticket from the killer.
697
00:53:22,265 --> 00:53:25,701
He must have been with him sometime,
someplace, yesterday.
698
00:53:25,769 --> 00:53:28,329
A lot of people
could have seen them together, right?
699
00:53:28,405 --> 00:53:29,770
Could have.
700
00:53:31,141 --> 00:53:33,609
Splash this picture
on the front page tonight.
701
00:53:33,677 --> 00:53:35,975
Offer a reward for information.
702
00:53:39,149 --> 00:53:41,674
"Lonely Heart Killer strikes again."
703
00:53:43,153 --> 00:53:45,246
When you write the story,
say that Barnes was working on this case
704
00:53:45,322 --> 00:53:46,346
undercover for the <i>Express.</i>
705
00:53:46,423 --> 00:53:49,620
He got too close to the killer
and died in the line of duty.
706
00:53:49,693 --> 00:53:50,887
Mark, I don't know, it...
707
00:53:50,961 --> 00:53:54,863
Nobody can deny it. It'll help sell papers.
We'll offer $1,000.
708
00:53:55,232 --> 00:53:58,360
Look, kid, don't pin your hopes
on anybody being able
709
00:53:58,435 --> 00:54:02,030
to spot the guy from this.
Unless they got x-ray eyes.
710
00:54:02,339 --> 00:54:04,034
I'm sure Charlie connected
the guy in the picture
711
00:54:04,107 --> 00:54:08,601
with the bird who gave him the pawn ticket.
I'm going to fine-tooth the Bowery myself.
712
00:54:08,678 --> 00:54:11,374
It's even money
that's where Charlie ran into our man.
713
00:54:11,448 --> 00:54:12,972
Good luck, kid.
714
00:54:44,314 --> 00:54:47,875
- Well, I got them for you, McCleary.
- Good work, Heeney.
715
00:55:05,368 --> 00:55:09,634
Well, this does it. I'll never touch
another drop the rest of my life.
716
00:55:17,547 --> 00:55:19,515
'Course some of them
been sucking on the bottle all night,
717
00:55:19,582 --> 00:55:21,516
but they can still stand up.
718
00:55:21,584 --> 00:55:24,747
- They all knew Charlie?
- Yeah, they all knew him.
719
00:55:25,088 --> 00:55:29,081
If you give McCleary here
any bum information, I'll brain you.
720
00:55:29,793 --> 00:55:31,818
And I might even do worse.
721
00:55:31,961 --> 00:55:35,522
No more free shots
when you're seeing little red spiders.
722
00:55:35,999 --> 00:55:40,095
How many of you boys saw Charlie Barnes
the day he was killed? Raise your hands.
723
00:55:40,170 --> 00:55:44,197
All right, raise your mitts,
them that seen Charlie day before yesterday.
724
00:55:44,274 --> 00:55:45,366
Good.
725
00:55:48,478 --> 00:55:50,446
- Where did you see him?
- See who?
726
00:55:50,513 --> 00:55:54,279
- This guy must be used to talking to mirrors.
- Charlie Barnes.
727
00:55:54,351 --> 00:55:58,253
I seen him come out of a joint
where he flopped in the morning.
728
00:56:00,824 --> 00:56:02,815
You, where'd you see him?
729
00:56:03,460 --> 00:56:05,826
- Humpty O'Dougal's saloon.
- What time?
730
00:56:05,895 --> 00:56:10,389
In the afternoon. Late in the afternoon.
Charlie had a nice little bun on.
731
00:56:10,934 --> 00:56:11,992
Was he with anybody?
732
00:56:12,068 --> 00:56:14,036
With anybody?
Sure, he was with somebody.
733
00:56:14,104 --> 00:56:16,834
Charlie never drank by himself
if he had a little cash on him.
734
00:56:16,906 --> 00:56:19,966
- Well, do you know the guy he was with?
- Certainly I know who he was with.
735
00:56:20,043 --> 00:56:23,206
- Well, who was it?
- Me. He sprung me three slugs.
736
00:56:29,686 --> 00:56:32,678
When did you see him?
When did you see him?
737
00:56:36,159 --> 00:56:38,491
- This morning.
- Throw him out of here.
738
00:56:38,561 --> 00:56:41,086
- Wait a minute!
- What are you talking about?
739
00:56:41,164 --> 00:56:44,691
- Now, is there any more jokers in the crowd?
- I seen him.
740
00:56:45,735 --> 00:56:49,136
Yeah? Well, go on. Where'd you see him?
741
00:56:51,074 --> 00:56:53,770
On the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
742
00:56:53,843 --> 00:56:57,472
- Go on, go on.
- Nothing. He was working a sucker.
743
00:56:58,014 --> 00:57:01,177
- Giving him the pally act, that's all.
- Now think hard.
744
00:57:01,251 --> 00:57:04,243
Do you remember the sucker?
Do you remember what he looks like?
745
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,754
- Maybe.
- What do you mean, "Maybe"?
746
00:57:06,890 --> 00:57:10,826
- Maybe for 50 bucks.
- Why you...
747
00:57:11,995 --> 00:57:15,362
Do you think you could remember
for 1,000 bucks?
748
00:57:17,267 --> 00:57:19,258
Who could tell who he is?
749
00:57:19,469 --> 00:57:22,461
Can you describe
the man you saw Charlie with?
750
00:57:22,906 --> 00:57:26,273
Do I get $1,000 if I do?
751
00:57:26,443 --> 00:57:28,968
You do. If and when we find the guy.
752
00:57:29,379 --> 00:57:32,212
- Sure, I can describe him.
- Well, go ahead.
753
00:57:34,918 --> 00:57:37,819
- You paying the reward?
- No, but my boss is.
754
00:57:38,655 --> 00:57:41,647
- Then I'll describe it to him.
- Okay. Come on.
755
00:57:41,791 --> 00:57:44,385
Rush this over to the composing room.
756
00:57:44,761 --> 00:57:48,492
Kenny, see if you can figure out
a heading for that rubbish.
757
00:57:48,698 --> 00:57:50,723
Connie! Connie, take this.
758
00:57:58,475 --> 00:57:59,806
Wait here.
759
00:58:13,623 --> 00:58:15,318
Look, Lieutenant,
just refer the captain to me.
760
00:58:15,391 --> 00:58:18,189
I'll tell him he's cropping at the best
homicide man he ever had on the force.
761
00:58:18,261 --> 00:58:20,491
If he doesn't know that,
he's deaf, dumb and blind.
762
00:58:20,563 --> 00:58:22,861
Yeah, never mind the malarkey, Chapman!
763
00:58:22,932 --> 00:58:24,900
The next time
you people pull a stunt like this,
764
00:58:24,968 --> 00:58:27,596
I'll throw both you and McCleary in the can!
765
00:58:28,271 --> 00:58:31,832
Okay, Lieutenant, okay.
I give you my word. Goodbye, pal.
766
00:58:33,042 --> 00:58:35,340
Davis is screaming because we gave him
the suitcase only a half hour
767
00:58:35,411 --> 00:58:36,878
before he read it in the <i>Express.</i>
768
00:58:36,946 --> 00:58:39,437
Well, I've got something
that ought to make him happy again.
769
00:58:39,516 --> 00:58:40,744
Not another suitcase?
770
00:58:40,817 --> 00:58:44,776
A guy who can identify the man
Charlie got the pawn ticket from.
771
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:51,384
Hey, Bailey. Come in here.
772
00:59:00,103 --> 00:59:03,561
He wouldn't describe the guy to me.
He needed the boss.
773
00:59:06,643 --> 00:59:08,304
You the boss?
774
00:59:09,379 --> 00:59:13,611
Yeah, and don't waste my time.
Where'd you see this guy with Charlie?
775
00:59:15,818 --> 00:59:18,446
Down the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
776
00:59:19,956 --> 00:59:22,151
You say you can describe him?
777
00:59:41,844 --> 00:59:44,335
Well, go on. What did he look like?
778
00:59:54,057 --> 00:59:55,786
Stand up, will you?
779
01:00:04,467 --> 01:00:07,766
Yeah, just how I figured.
780
01:00:08,805 --> 01:00:10,432
You figured what?
781
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,272
He was your size,
782
01:00:17,313 --> 01:00:18,678
your build.
783
01:00:19,115 --> 01:00:21,345
Could have been as old as you.
784
01:00:21,951 --> 01:00:26,217
- Is that all?
- All you asked me was to describe him.
785
01:00:26,723 --> 01:00:30,625
That was no description!
That could fit a million guys in this town.
786
01:00:30,693 --> 01:00:34,060
- Even me.
- Well, how about the reward?
787
01:00:34,130 --> 01:00:38,123
Here, take this down to the cashier
and pick yourself up five bucks.
788
01:00:38,201 --> 01:00:41,261
- Show him where it is, Steve.
- Come on, Bailey.
789
01:01:30,186 --> 01:01:31,517
Hey, Baxter, where's Julie?
790
01:01:31,587 --> 01:01:34,078
She came in this morning,
banged this out on her typewriter,
791
01:01:34,157 --> 01:01:36,216
and told me to give it to Chapman.
792
01:01:36,292 --> 01:01:38,385
- What is it?
- Her resignation.
793
01:01:38,461 --> 01:01:42,261
I figured I'd hang onto it a day or so.
Maybe she'd cool off.
794
01:01:42,632 --> 01:01:46,261
I'm sure glad you did.
I'll take care of it for you, okay?
795
01:01:49,238 --> 01:01:50,762
Baxter, thanks.
796
01:02:00,883 --> 01:02:03,647
- Hello, Mrs. Allison.
- Well, hello, Steve. Come in.
797
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,051
Thank you.
798
01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:14,458
I have a pot of coffee in the kitchen.
I'd better see to it.
799
01:02:14,664 --> 01:02:16,564
Can I say a few words to you?
800
01:02:16,632 --> 01:02:19,533
Without getting hit with a table
or something?
801
01:02:19,602 --> 01:02:22,230
Speak your piece and get it over with.
802
01:02:22,338 --> 01:02:25,535
I just got rocked
with a bad piece of news, Julie.
803
01:02:25,742 --> 01:02:28,040
I heard about your resignation.
804
01:02:28,444 --> 01:02:31,845
Well, I can't imagine
why you'd shed any tears over it.
805
01:02:31,914 --> 01:02:33,211
Well, for what it's worth,
806
01:02:33,282 --> 01:02:36,308
your resigning knocks the props
out of a lot of things for me.
807
01:02:37,754 --> 01:02:40,655
That couldn't have come
from Steve McCleary.
808
01:02:41,791 --> 01:02:44,851
Okay, pass it. But I didn't figure
your burn at Chapman and me
809
01:02:44,927 --> 01:02:48,454
would be bigger than your wanting
to do something about Charlie's murder.
810
01:02:49,632 --> 01:02:52,829
Don't start playing me
for a hollow-headed female now, Steve.
811
01:02:52,902 --> 01:02:55,871
Your only interest, and Chapman's,
in Charlie's death is exploiting it
812
01:02:55,938 --> 01:02:59,601
- for all the circulation jumping it's worth!
- Julie, I'm not digging on a story now
813
01:02:59,675 --> 01:03:03,577
just for the school-boy bang of seeing
my name over a sensational yarn.
814
01:03:03,646 --> 01:03:06,672
Yeah, that's right, I had to get hit pretty hard
before I smartened up.
815
01:03:06,749 --> 01:03:09,309
But now I'm leveling
on the Charlie Barnes business.
816
01:03:13,422 --> 01:03:18,257
Well, if I can believe what I'm hearing,
this certainly is a different McCleary.
817
01:03:19,328 --> 01:03:20,955
I've been working night and day.
818
01:03:21,030 --> 01:03:24,227
All I've done is run the local leads
to a dead end.
819
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:29,294
There's only one gimmick left to follow.
This picture, the marriage in Connecticut.
820
01:03:29,472 --> 01:03:33,067
It's odd the person who married them
hasn't recognized it.
821
01:03:33,142 --> 01:03:36,077
Unless he's dead or hasn't seen the picture.
822
01:03:36,579 --> 01:03:40,310
Yeah, I thought of that angle, too.
But it's a million-to-one shot.
823
01:03:40,383 --> 01:03:43,716
A guy would have to be an elephant
to remember a face after 21 years.
824
01:03:44,787 --> 01:03:48,314
Tell him about the elephant we met
on Fifth Avenue, about four years ago.
825
01:03:48,391 --> 01:03:50,791
We were walking along the street when,
right out of the blue,
826
01:03:50,860 --> 01:03:53,021
a complete stranger stopped me.
827
01:03:53,095 --> 01:03:56,656
It turned out to be the little preacher
who married Julie's father and me
828
01:03:56,732 --> 01:03:59,724
in Portland, Maine, 23 years before!
829
01:04:01,404 --> 01:04:06,603
- And he actually was able to recognize you?
- And I'd put on a little weight since then.
830
01:04:07,210 --> 01:04:10,270
They say a New Englander
seldom forgets a face.
831
01:04:10,980 --> 01:04:13,813
Crazy odds, but what can we lose?
832
01:04:15,051 --> 01:04:16,416
Yeah, get this picture
833
01:04:16,485 --> 01:04:19,750
to every churchman, judge
and justice of the peace in Connecticut.
834
01:04:19,822 --> 01:04:24,259
- It's certainly worth trying.
- It's a big job. Compiling lists,
835
01:04:24,527 --> 01:04:26,620
- checking out leads.
- It can be done.
836
01:04:26,696 --> 01:04:28,687
The two of us could handle it, Julie.
837
01:04:29,732 --> 01:04:32,667
Well, I'd like to, Steve, but I've resigned.
838
01:04:32,735 --> 01:04:36,637
And I'd sooner drop dead
than ask Mark Chapman for my job back.
839
01:04:43,312 --> 01:04:45,803
- You dog!
- It never got past Baxter.
840
01:04:46,883 --> 01:04:48,908
A list of churches in each town
is no problem.
841
01:04:48,985 --> 01:04:52,318
The judges and JPs we can get
from the state legal directory in Hartford.
842
01:04:52,388 --> 01:04:54,720
Yeah, you start packing.
Enough for a couple of weeks.
843
01:04:54,790 --> 01:04:56,451
I'm going to the office
and get the lab boys started
844
01:04:56,525 --> 01:04:57,787
on knocking out a few hundred circulars.
845
01:04:57,860 --> 01:05:00,260
But suppose Chapman says no
to my working with you on it?
846
01:05:00,329 --> 01:05:03,492
Why should he? Anyway, I'm not going
to tell him anything until we're ready to go.
847
01:05:03,566 --> 01:05:04,658
Tonight sometime.
848
01:05:04,734 --> 01:05:08,898
Mom, you think it's safe for me to travel
out of state at night with this young man?
849
01:05:08,971 --> 01:05:12,702
Just so he doesn't misconstrue
the meaning of "freedom of the press."
850
01:05:12,775 --> 01:05:16,336
Hey, you wonderful woman.
I'll check with you for dinner.
851
01:05:21,417 --> 01:05:23,544
Steve, this is shot-in-the-dark stuff.
852
01:05:23,619 --> 01:05:26,452
Mark, more rabbit-brained ideas than this
have paid off.
853
01:05:26,522 --> 01:05:28,956
Your hottest lead is right here in town
where the murders were committed.
854
01:05:29,025 --> 01:05:32,290
Yeah, our hottest lead was in town,
but it dried up like a puddle in July.
855
01:05:32,361 --> 01:05:33,589
You're looking for a mental marvel,
856
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:36,154
a guy who can recognize somebody
he'd seen for 15 or 20 minutes
857
01:05:36,232 --> 01:05:38,757
at a wedding ceremony
he performed 21 years ago.
858
01:05:38,834 --> 01:05:41,394
How do we know he only saw them
for 15 or 20 minutes?
859
01:05:41,470 --> 01:05:44,200
Maybe they were members of his church
or were married by a judge
860
01:05:44,273 --> 01:05:46,298
or a justice in their own town.
861
01:05:46,375 --> 01:05:48,605
Steve, you're off
on a needle-in-a-haystack hunt.
862
01:05:48,678 --> 01:05:51,078
You can find a needle in a haystack
if you look long enough.
863
01:05:51,147 --> 01:05:53,775
You don't think I'm gonna let you
hang around up there indefinitely, do you?
864
01:05:53,849 --> 01:05:55,680
You won't have to. A week, probably.
865
01:05:55,751 --> 01:05:58,982
Julie Allison's coming along to help me.
It's all arranged.
866
01:05:59,055 --> 01:06:02,456
It's all arranged. And that five grand reward.
You arranged that, too?
867
01:06:02,525 --> 01:06:06,586
No, you did, or will.
Mark, what's eating you?
868
01:06:07,096 --> 01:06:09,257
I'm only checking out every possible angle.
869
01:06:09,332 --> 01:06:11,061
Kid, I don't want you to beat your brains out.
870
01:06:11,133 --> 01:06:13,033
We can get just so much
out of this Lonely Hearts story,
871
01:06:13,102 --> 01:06:16,128
and then we'll start easing it off
and let it die a natural death.
872
01:06:16,205 --> 01:06:19,368
Let it die? Mark, we let Charlie Barnes die!
873
01:06:20,509 --> 01:06:22,909
The least we can do now is to find his killer.
874
01:06:23,679 --> 01:06:26,443
You're the guy who pounded into me,
"Never give up till you've got the story."
875
01:06:26,515 --> 01:06:28,449
Well, I'm not quitting on this one
until I've licked it.
876
01:06:28,517 --> 01:06:30,985
You can reach me
at the Lenox Hotel in Hartford.
877
01:06:56,579 --> 01:06:57,978
Long distance.
878
01:06:58,047 --> 01:06:59,844
I want some information.
879
01:06:59,915 --> 01:07:01,906
A telephone number
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
880
01:07:01,984 --> 01:07:05,181
The name is Hacker. He's a judge.
I don't remember his first name.
881
01:07:05,254 --> 01:07:07,222
You wish to place a call to this party?
882
01:07:07,289 --> 01:07:10,383
No, no. Not yet, that is.
I just want to get his telephone number.
883
01:07:10,459 --> 01:07:12,188
<i>One moment, please.</i>
884
01:07:16,799 --> 01:07:20,235
Hello? The Middlebury operator
has no listing for anyone by that name.
885
01:07:21,037 --> 01:07:22,436
There isn't?
886
01:07:23,305 --> 01:07:25,296
Middlebury's a small town.
Will you ask the operator
887
01:07:25,374 --> 01:07:26,966
if she knows anything
about Judge Hacker at all?
888
01:07:27,043 --> 01:07:29,273
Is he deceased, moved away, or what?
889
01:07:29,345 --> 01:07:31,074
<i>One moment, please.</i>
890
01:07:35,518 --> 01:07:38,510
Hello? The local operator
has been in Middlebury for five years
891
01:07:38,587 --> 01:07:40,646
and knows no one
by the name of Judge Hacker.
892
01:07:40,723 --> 01:07:42,384
That's all the information she can give us.
893
01:07:43,959 --> 01:07:45,153
Thanks.
894
01:08:32,908 --> 01:08:35,308
No, Reverend,
I'm afraid that's not our couple.
895
01:08:36,412 --> 01:08:39,040
You may be positive, Reverend,
but you're mistaken.
896
01:08:39,115 --> 01:08:41,515
The woman in the photo we sent you
is dead.
897
01:08:41,584 --> 01:08:43,916
Thank you for calling, Reverend.
898
01:08:46,288 --> 01:08:48,153
You don't have to tell me.
899
01:08:48,224 --> 01:08:50,852
It's written all over
your bright and shining face.
900
01:08:50,926 --> 01:08:53,759
A 190-mile drive
to have a whack-head tell me
901
01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:56,423
that both the people in our circular
died a year ago.
902
01:08:57,766 --> 01:09:01,896
New Englanders remember, all right.
Every face is familiar to them.
903
01:09:04,406 --> 01:09:07,671
Hello? Just a minute, here's Steve.
904
01:09:08,110 --> 01:09:10,340
It's that man again. Every day.
905
01:09:10,412 --> 01:09:13,313
Does he think we'll keep it a big fat secret
if we find something?
906
01:09:15,284 --> 01:09:16,649
Yeah, Mark.
907
01:09:18,487 --> 01:09:20,819
Nothing but an aching back
and some interesting meetings
908
01:09:20,890 --> 01:09:22,824
with jelly-brained screwballs.
909
01:09:22,892 --> 01:09:26,555
You've had enough time, Steve. Ten days.
Admit it's a dud. Come on home.
910
01:09:26,629 --> 01:09:29,325
Two more days, Mark.
We'll stick it out to the end of the week.
911
01:09:29,899 --> 01:09:33,391
Get out of the haystack. It's easier
to find the needles at the scene of the crime.
912
01:09:33,469 --> 01:09:34,936
I'll see you.
913
01:09:35,771 --> 01:09:39,832
Two more days. I don't even know myself
why we're sticking around.
914
01:09:41,043 --> 01:09:42,772
Anything there that sounds good?
915
01:09:44,180 --> 01:09:47,946
I'll read you a fair sample.
From a J.P. Waterbury.
916
01:09:49,084 --> 01:09:52,451
"Send me $5,000
and I will tell you names of people."
917
01:09:52,655 --> 01:09:54,646
A new head I'll send him.
918
01:09:55,658 --> 01:09:58,320
I've got a headache.
I think I'll lie down for a while.
919
01:09:59,728 --> 01:10:01,855
Why don't you lie down here?
920
01:10:07,269 --> 01:10:08,998
I'll go to my room.
921
01:10:15,344 --> 01:10:17,744
McCleary. Okay, put him on.
922
01:10:18,681 --> 01:10:20,808
A guy calling from Franklin.
923
01:10:21,283 --> 01:10:23,308
Hello? Yeah, that's right.
924
01:10:25,955 --> 01:10:27,149
You do, huh?
925
01:10:29,258 --> 01:10:31,590
- You've got what?
- What is it?
926
01:10:31,827 --> 01:10:35,456
- Just a minute.
- I have the other picture right before me!
927
01:10:35,864 --> 01:10:41,131
Yes, I married them July 19th, 1931,
over in Middlebury.
928
01:10:42,438 --> 01:10:44,702
A funny thing. What's that?
929
01:10:48,143 --> 01:10:49,872
Judge Elroy Hacker.
930
01:10:50,379 --> 01:10:52,404
We'll be there in two hours, Judge.
931
01:10:52,481 --> 01:10:54,244
Sit tight
and keep your mouth shut about this.
932
01:10:54,316 --> 01:10:55,374
Bye.
933
01:10:55,584 --> 01:10:59,247
Go on, get packed.
He's liable to drop dead on us or something.
934
01:11:55,110 --> 01:11:58,102
For a man who can sit there
and watch his success increasing daily,
935
01:11:58,180 --> 01:12:00,011
you're looking much too troubled, Mark.
936
01:12:00,082 --> 01:12:03,210
It's just that these minor problems
always seem to require major thinking.
937
01:12:03,285 --> 01:12:06,379
Well, perhaps we can balance
the unpleasant with the pleasant.
938
01:12:06,455 --> 01:12:09,390
That conversation we had the other day
about your buying company stock.
939
01:12:09,458 --> 01:12:10,823
- Yeah?
- I just thought I'd tell you,
940
01:12:10,893 --> 01:12:14,920
- I think we can swing that.
- That's fine, Mr. Madison, just great.
941
01:12:14,997 --> 01:12:17,659
Well, there doesn't seem to be any doubt
you'll reach that bonus figure.
942
01:12:17,733 --> 01:12:19,064
It'll be pleasant having you as a partner,
943
01:12:19,134 --> 01:12:20,863
- so to speak, in the paper, Mark.
- Thanks.
944
01:12:20,936 --> 01:12:22,801
- Good night.
- Good night.
945
01:14:17,953 --> 01:14:19,147
Sorry to keep you this late, Mark,
946
01:14:19,221 --> 01:14:21,621
but we got hit with a mess of traffic
on the way in.
947
01:14:21,690 --> 01:14:23,157
Your wire sounded important.
948
01:14:23,225 --> 01:14:26,456
I found that needle,
or rather the man with the needle.
949
01:14:26,528 --> 01:14:29,725
Judge Elroy Hacker,
Mark Chapman, Managing Editor.
950
01:14:29,865 --> 01:14:32,925
- Glad to meet you, Judge.
- How do, Mr. Chapman?
951
01:14:33,902 --> 01:14:35,893
- Sit down, Judge.
- Thanks.
952
01:14:36,772 --> 01:14:38,672
Does the judge's needle sew anything up?
953
01:14:38,740 --> 01:14:41,231
Everything but knotting the thread
at the end.
954
01:14:41,310 --> 01:14:42,937
I mean the noose.
955
01:14:44,046 --> 01:14:45,240
What have you got?
956
01:14:45,314 --> 01:14:48,511
The identity of Mrs. Lonely Heart
and her husband.
957
01:14:49,117 --> 01:14:51,711
Judge Hacker married them
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
958
01:14:51,787 --> 01:14:54,688
Their names are Charlotte and George Grant.
959
01:14:58,827 --> 01:14:59,953
Did you get that, Mark?
960
01:15:00,028 --> 01:15:03,327
The name of the Lonely Heart Killer
is George Grant.
961
01:15:03,699 --> 01:15:05,530
Yeah, I heard you. Go on.
962
01:15:05,601 --> 01:15:08,229
Strike two. The judge is sure
he can identify George Grant
963
01:15:08,303 --> 01:15:10,203
when he sees him again.
964
01:15:10,806 --> 01:15:13,969
You see, I took this picture myself.
965
01:15:14,710 --> 01:15:17,338
A little extra service
the judge gave his bridal couples.
966
01:15:17,412 --> 01:15:20,711
Yes. I'd send them a print
and put one in my own scrapbook.
967
01:15:20,782 --> 01:15:22,579
The judge even furnished
the "just married" sign.
968
01:15:22,651 --> 01:15:24,118
Judge, you said
you married them in Middlebury,
969
01:15:24,186 --> 01:15:27,883
- but Steve found you in Franklin.
- I retired seven years ago.
970
01:15:27,956 --> 01:15:31,323
I'm partial to fishing,
so I moved over on the coast.
971
01:15:32,027 --> 01:15:34,928
I only happened
to see your circular by chance,
972
01:15:34,997 --> 01:15:37,830
in the office of a justice friend of mine.
973
01:15:40,602 --> 01:15:43,571
I always said you were born
in a field of shamrocks.
974
01:15:43,639 --> 01:15:47,769
Sure. The McClearys raised their kids
on nothing but rabbits' feet.
975
01:15:48,410 --> 01:15:52,471
Judge, what makes you so sure
you can identify George Grant today?
976
01:15:54,383 --> 01:15:57,250
Well, mainly because right after
I took that wedding picture,
977
01:15:57,319 --> 01:16:00,482
this Grant got vexed at his wife
about something.
978
01:16:01,590 --> 01:16:05,651
I can remember his voice, snapping at her.
His face getting red...
979
01:16:07,696 --> 01:16:11,598
I know what's in your bonnet, Mark.
We still have to find George Grant.
980
01:16:11,667 --> 01:16:14,363
A needle's nothing but a hunk of steel
if you've got nothing to sew.
981
01:16:14,436 --> 01:16:15,801
We just need the thread.
982
01:16:15,871 --> 01:16:18,203
I figure we'll pick that up
right here in New York.
983
01:16:18,273 --> 01:16:21,367
When the police line up all the local
George Grants for the judge to look over.
984
01:16:23,745 --> 01:16:27,416
That's Julie. I dropped her off
at headquarters to tell Davis what we've got.
985
01:16:29,251 --> 01:16:32,618
Friend Davis is steaming
like a pressure cooker, as I said he would.
986
01:16:32,688 --> 01:16:33,746
He'll simmer down.
987
01:16:33,822 --> 01:16:36,484
So will your
lining up the George Grants idea.
988
01:16:36,558 --> 01:16:40,255
Davis says he'll do nothing until you turn
Judge Hacker over to the police.
989
01:16:40,329 --> 01:16:42,763
- Steve, you can't hold...
- Relax, doll. He'll see the judge later.
990
01:16:42,831 --> 01:16:44,924
Not tonight he won't.
The judge is our exclusive beat.
991
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,230
Nobody gets to him
till our story breaks tomorrow.
992
01:16:47,302 --> 01:16:49,031
I don't trust cops.
993
01:16:51,607 --> 01:16:52,904
You and Julie start writing the story.
994
01:16:52,975 --> 01:16:56,308
I'll put the judge in a side-street hotel
where nobody will get to him.
995
01:16:56,378 --> 01:16:57,902
Come on, Judge.
996
01:17:01,316 --> 01:17:03,648
I'll just wait for Mr. McCleary.
997
01:17:04,987 --> 01:17:06,921
He was going to put me up at his place.
998
01:17:06,989 --> 01:17:08,581
That's the first place
the wolves will start baying.
999
01:17:08,657 --> 01:17:10,921
You better come with me, Judge.
1000
01:17:10,993 --> 01:17:15,157
No, I don't think it would be wise
for me to go with you, Mr. Grant.
1001
01:17:15,731 --> 01:17:18,325
- Mister...
- Chapman, Judge. Not Grant.
1002
01:17:18,734 --> 01:17:21,294
You'd better give your brain a rest.
You're gonna need it.
1003
01:17:21,370 --> 01:17:22,735
He may be Chapman now,
1004
01:17:22,804 --> 01:17:27,104
but 21 years ago, when I married them,
he was George Grant.
1005
01:17:27,509 --> 01:17:29,534
And he was a newspaperman.
1006
01:17:30,379 --> 01:17:34,145
I remember now. He said he worked
on the paper over in Waterford.
1007
01:17:34,216 --> 01:17:37,549
Waterford, Connecticut, was that town
I couldn't think of.
1008
01:17:37,619 --> 01:17:40,110
But I knew I'd remember that voice.
1009
01:17:40,422 --> 01:17:44,586
His face... You've changed.
But it's the same man.
1010
01:17:45,060 --> 01:17:48,086
You remember that $5,000 reward, though,
don't you, Judge?
1011
01:17:48,163 --> 01:17:51,428
Judge. This is impossible.
You're getting confused.
1012
01:17:51,633 --> 01:17:54,864
He sounds to me as though
he knows exactly what he's saying.
1013
01:17:54,936 --> 01:17:57,837
This is idiotic!
Screwball, crackbrained lunacy!
1014
01:17:57,906 --> 01:18:01,364
And that's just the kind of a witness
the judge is going to make, too, Steve.
1015
01:18:01,443 --> 01:18:03,240
The police have that specimen
of hair and flesh
1016
01:18:03,311 --> 01:18:05,905
found under Mrs. Grant's fingernails.
1017
01:18:06,348 --> 01:18:09,283
I think we'd better get in touch with Davis.
1018
01:18:09,551 --> 01:18:11,212
No phone, Allison.
1019
01:18:21,797 --> 01:18:26,359
Julie pegged you right off.
But me, still wet behind the ears McCleary.
1020
01:18:27,235 --> 01:18:29,328
I went for the sleigh ride.
1021
01:18:29,971 --> 01:18:35,409
I practically built the pedestal for Chapman.
The great newspaperman. The great guy.
1022
01:18:36,778 --> 01:18:41,545
There ought to be a special Pulitzer Prize
for the world's biggest sucker, McCleary.
1023
01:18:41,616 --> 01:18:44,141
Just another one of your stupid slobs!
1024
01:18:44,219 --> 01:18:45,948
Things happen, Steve,
and then there's just no end.
1025
01:18:46,021 --> 01:18:47,921
Killing my wife was an accident.
1026
01:18:47,989 --> 01:18:51,823
And Charlie. Charlie Barnes,
who never hurt a fly in his life.
1027
01:18:52,294 --> 01:18:54,057
A washed-up drunken rummy
who had nothing to live for
1028
01:18:54,129 --> 01:18:55,790
against a career
that was just reaching its prime.
1029
01:18:55,864 --> 01:18:59,322
- It wasn't an even exchange.
- You've got a great career ahead of you now.
1030
01:18:59,401 --> 01:19:02,302
That's all down the drain.
I gotta to make different plans now.
1031
01:19:02,370 --> 01:19:04,736
You should have started running
when you got my wire, sucker!
1032
01:19:04,806 --> 01:19:06,501
I gambled.
The stakes are big enough, you don't run
1033
01:19:06,575 --> 01:19:10,443
unless there's nothing else left to do.
Don't try it, kid.
1034
01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:30,190
Steve!
1035
01:19:50,986 --> 01:19:53,011
We're just too close, kid.
1036
01:19:57,292 --> 01:20:02,059
I figured I'd find you birds here.
Still playing me for a pushover, aren't you?
1037
01:20:04,032 --> 01:20:06,227
Steve, you remember how I told you
1038
01:20:06,301 --> 01:20:09,464
that someday you'd run into
a really great story?
1039
01:20:09,905 --> 01:20:11,736
Well, this one ought to do it, huh?
1040
01:20:12,474 --> 01:20:14,374
Yeah, this one will do.
1041
01:20:14,976 --> 01:20:16,603
I'll give you the lead on it.
1042
01:20:17,846 --> 01:20:18,972
"The elusive Lonely Heart Killer,
1043
01:20:19,047 --> 01:20:20,708

- All right, drop it, Chapman.

Mark Chapman, editor of the New York Express, has made the newspaper a success by pursuing sensationalism and yellow journalism. His protégé is ace reporter Steve McCleary, while successful feature writer Julie Allison is frustrated by the paper's drift towards raking the muck. One night, during a lonely hearts dance organized by the Express, Chapman's estranged wife confronts him and demands that he visit her hotel room. It is revealed that Chapman's real name is George Grant, and he abandoned his wife decades earlier, changing his identity. When Chapman rebuffs her efforts toward reconciliation, she threatens to publicize his real identity. Chapman tries to restrain her, accidentally killing her in the scuffle.
Chapman attempts to cover up his crime, posing the scene to look like an accident. The police initially believe she slipped in the bathtub, but McCleary begins covering the case, and his reporting reveals it was a murder. McCleary is eager to run the story, and Chapman must acquiesce to avoid suspicion. The "mystery" murderer is dubbed the "Lonely Hearts Killer." Charlie Barnes, an alcoholic former star reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner, stumbles upon the dead woman's suitcase, in which he finds wedding photographs showing Chapman (then Grant) and his wife. He realizes that Chapman must be the killer. Barnes contacts Allison, who has been kind to him, attempting to give her the scoop, but Chapman overhears the conversation. He intercepts and kills Barnes before he can reveal the truth to a rival publication. This act only increases public interest in the story of the Lonely Hearts Killer, much to Chapman's frustration.
Assisted by Allison, McCleary continues to track down clues and leads. Eventually he locates another photo from Chapman/Grant's wedding, although the groom is shot in profile and it is not obvious that it is Chapman. McCleary and Allison travel to Connecticut to find the judge who married the murdered woman and the man in the photograph. After a week of searching, they identify the judge who conducted the marriage. They bring him back to the newspaper building, where he identifies Chapman as the groom and thus the Lonely Hearts Killer. McCleary is incredulous, but Allison puts the pieces together and the desperate Chapman pulls a gun on them. The police arrive, and Chapman cannot bring himself to shoot McCleary. Instead, he gives McCleary his blessing to publish all details of his crimes and then commits suicide by cop.

1
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,468
I know how you feel, lady.
2
00:01:52,545 --> 00:01:54,445
Just take your time
and tell me what happened.
3
00:01:54,514 --> 00:01:57,915
He had this meat ax, her blood all over it.
4
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:03,187
My brother-in-law had it.
Blood all over his hands, all over his shirt.
5
00:02:03,389 --> 00:02:05,687
I can't talk about it, Officer.
6
00:02:05,859 --> 00:02:08,851
I know it's rough, lady,
but I have to have the facts.
7
00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:14,298
He comes staggering out in the hall.
He says, "I did it. Call the cops."
8
00:02:15,101 --> 00:02:16,125
And then he...
9
00:02:16,202 --> 00:02:19,467
Snap it up, Captain.
Lieutenant Davis just blew in.
10
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,303
What's he going to do, Officer?
11
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:25,003
- I'm not a cop, lady.
- But you said...

00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:27,610
All I said was,
"I had to ask you some questions."
13
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,079
I'm from the <i>Express.</i>
14
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:33,984
You made me go through all that.
Why, you're not decent! You're not human!
15
00:02:34,754 --> 00:02:38,121
- Sorry, lady. All part of the job.
- Well, well, Lieutenant Davis.
16
00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:42,252
- Say, this must have been a homicide.
- Hi, Lieutenant. Wait till you hear it.
17
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:45,092
- A messy one.
- You keep pulling stuff like this, McCleary,
18
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:50,193
and so help me, if it's the last thing I do,
I'll run you in! Now, that's a warning!
19
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:18,591
This is KL-75263. Get me Plaza-52099.
20
00:03:19,532 --> 00:03:24,401
You know, that wasn't a bad-Iooking dame.
Too bad the guy used an ax on her head.
21
00:03:25,271 --> 00:03:27,796
Spoiled some pretty pictures for me.
22
00:03:28,908 --> 00:03:31,877
Hey, Mark, have you put on the gloves
with those stockholders yet?
23
00:03:32,178 --> 00:03:34,203
Hi. No, I'm just taping up my hands.
24
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,976
<i>Well, you can tell them we got</i>
<i>another neat and gory one coming up.</i>
25
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:39,177
<i>Hatchet murder. Lower East Side tenement.</i>
26
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:41,652
<i>Wrapped up an exclusive interview</i>
<i>with an eyewitness.</i>
27
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:43,211
You got plenty of art?
28
00:03:43,289 --> 00:03:45,052
Yeah. Biddle grabbed all he could
of the body.
29
00:03:45,124 --> 00:03:49,185
A dame, very messy.
Got a great hysterical close-up of her sister.
30
00:03:49,529 --> 00:03:52,828
I'll even write the caption for you.
"I seen him with a bloody meat ax."
31
00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:54,592
Good. With that, I can sell papers.
32
00:03:54,667 --> 00:03:57,295
Give it to rewrite and we'll get it in the final.
Hold on. What do you want?
33
00:03:57,370 --> 00:04:00,237
Mr. Madison called down
from the boardroom again, Mr. Chapman.
34
00:04:00,306 --> 00:04:02,831
You hear that?
I'm letting them stew in their financial juices.
35
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:05,067
Well, don't overdo it. I like this job.
36
00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:08,273
You've never gone backwards
with me before, have you, kid?
37
00:04:08,348 --> 00:04:13,217
If we leave here, we'll bounce into
a bigger setup. I'll see you when you get in.
38
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:21,417
As one of the largest stockholders
in this corporation,
39
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:24,463
I would like to know
why the <i>New York Express,</i>
40
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:27,465
once a distinguished
and respected newspaper,
41
00:04:29,869 --> 00:04:33,600
has been allowed to become
a cheap and depraved publication.
42
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:38,835
Why has an editor been allowed
to turn a decent journal into this?
43
00:04:39,679 --> 00:04:41,613
A disgusting tabloid!
44
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,749
Pandering to the passions
of the base morons!
45
00:04:45,151 --> 00:04:47,847
I demand an explanation, Frank Madison.
46
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:54,750
Well, Mrs. Rawley, I...
In defense of Mark Chapman, I...
47
00:04:54,827 --> 00:04:58,263
Mr. Madison, I'd like to handle
my own defense, if you don't mind.
48
00:04:58,331 --> 00:04:59,855
Just as you say, Mark.
49
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:05,428
Mrs. Rawley, I think you
and the other stockholders should know
50
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:07,496
that your publisher hired me
as executive editor
51
00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:09,837
with full rights to transform this newspaper.
52
00:05:10,677 --> 00:05:14,443
He did this for a very simple reason.
He was fed up with operating at a loss.
53
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:18,611
Why did Mr. Madison hire me?
Well, he felt it was time that the <i>Express</i>
54
00:05:18,685 --> 00:05:21,745
buried its antiquated negative approach,
such as this.
55
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:25,756
But who won?
56
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:29,920
And become a positive newspaper.
We're in a business, ladies and gentlemen,
57
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:34,695
a business of satisfying the hunger
of the public for thrills, escape and news.
58
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:39,271
Here's where I took over
your highly respectable white elephant.
59
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:42,172
Instead of headlining a UN story,
we gave them a vice story.
60
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:44,368
Obviously, they went for it.
61
00:05:44,544 --> 00:05:46,239
We played down
the presidential appointments
62
00:05:46,312 --> 00:05:48,644
and concentrated
on the "Gorilla Man" killings.
63
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:51,576
Here's what happened.
Thirty or forty thousand new readers.
64
00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:54,245
Why, in a year, circulation's up over 110%.
65
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,686
And when we reach 750,000,
66
00:05:56,756 --> 00:06:00,886
we'll have to pay you a big bonus.
I'm not sure I like this at all.
67
00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:02,761
Did you like the dividend check
you got last month
68
00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:04,194
for the first time in 12 years?
69
00:06:04,263 --> 00:06:07,323
I don't like this, sir.
What kind of journalism is this?
70
00:06:07,967 --> 00:06:10,026
A newspaper
staging a cheap, vulgar display
71
00:06:10,103 --> 00:06:13,266
in order to attract
the stupid slobs of the city!
72
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,865
The thousands who will attend
the Lonely Heart dance tonight,
73
00:06:15,942 --> 00:06:18,467
these poor, friendly, unhappy people
whom you call stupid slobs,
74
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:20,569
buy and read this newspaper.
75
00:06:20,646 --> 00:06:22,944
Their loyalty helped put that dividend check
in your pocket.
76
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:26,712
And I suppose you think it's a public service
when one of your reporters is arrested
77
00:06:26,786 --> 00:06:30,745
for withholding information from the police?
Or whatever it was.
78
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:34,150
This, what's his name, McCleary person,
79
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,352
and the things he writes about!
I think he should be fired!
80
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:39,295
This McCleary person
is the best young reporter I've seen
81
00:06:39,365 --> 00:06:41,060
in 25 years of newspapering.
82
00:06:41,134 --> 00:06:43,193
Before I'll fire him,
I'll throw the <i>Express</i> up for grabs
83
00:06:43,269 --> 00:06:45,669
and go to work for somebody
who appreciates real talent on a paper!
84
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:47,262
- Mark, I'm sure...
- One last thing.
85
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:50,798
The only contract I have here is a handshake
between Mr. Madison and myself.
86
00:06:50,877 --> 00:06:53,141
Now, unless you give me full rights
to run this paper the way I want,
87
00:06:53,212 --> 00:06:55,271
I'll quit after the final edition today.
88
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:58,784
Now, I'm sorry I can't stay with you
any longer. I have a newspaper to get out!
89
00:07:06,092 --> 00:07:10,426
- Your story ready, Miss Allison?
- I'll have the rest in a minute, Joey.
90
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:13,831
Mr. Chapman?
91
00:07:16,502 --> 00:07:17,696
Thanks.
92
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:26,937
McCleary story in yet, Bax?
93
00:07:32,485 --> 00:07:34,885
How'd you make out in the torture chamber?
94
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:40,450
This is good. Give it a big play.
Mac'll do a byline follow-up tomorrow.
95
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:43,825
- What are these?
- Pics for that Lonely Heart spread.
96
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:45,820
- Junk them.
- But I...
97
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:47,092
Take Peters off the Lonely Hearts.
98
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:48,997
He's photographing these slobs
like a lineup in a soup kitchen
99
00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:50,660
instead of panting for a red-hot romance.
100
00:07:50,736 --> 00:07:52,533
- Okay. But I...
- Yeah?
101
00:07:52,939 --> 00:07:54,566
Yes, Mr. Madison.
102
00:07:58,211 --> 00:08:00,611
- Get an ax, smear it with blood.
- Yeah? Whose?
103
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,171
Yours. If you can't spare any,
use chocolate syrup or something.
104
00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:07,652
Chocolate? Goody! When I'm through,
I can make a plate of fudge. Drop in.
105
00:08:08,721 --> 00:08:12,157
So, you still insist a woman having 20 kids
is worth a feature article?
106
00:08:12,225 --> 00:08:15,422
Hi, genius.
I think it's worth a whole front page.
107
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:18,391
It scares me, this maternal instinct of yours.
108
00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:20,955
Decided where you're taking me
to dinner tonight?
109
00:08:23,736 --> 00:08:25,966
If Chapman hasn't been canned,
110
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,169
you're going to dine with the worst loser
who ever paid off a bet.
111
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:31,608
Then you'd better stash some
bicarbonate soda in your bag, princess.
112
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:32,837
You're gonna need it.
113
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:35,437
Don't count your steaks
before you hear the sizzle.
114
00:08:37,617 --> 00:08:39,608
Well, what's the word? Are you ex or still?
115
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,880
They're not dumb enough
to throw out a winner.
116
00:08:41,954 --> 00:08:44,650
Congratulations. I knew you'd stick
their stocks right back in their teeth.
117
00:08:44,724 --> 00:08:46,555
I told them if they fired me,
McCleary would quit, too,
118
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:49,060
and then they'd be in real trouble.
119
00:08:49,128 --> 00:08:50,527
I wouldn't put it past them
to try and dump you
120
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:53,929
to get out of paying the bonus that's
staring them right in their glassy eyes.
121
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,331
I've got news for you.
122
00:08:55,401 --> 00:08:57,528
I'm going to cut you in
for a piece of that bonus.
123
00:08:57,603 --> 00:08:59,298
What do you want me to do, retire?
124
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:00,566
I thought we could make a deal with Madison
125
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,698
to buy some of the company's stock.
126
00:09:01,774 --> 00:09:03,901
You know, kid,
we could end up owning this newspaper.
127
00:09:03,976 --> 00:09:06,536
- Well, that's the best offer I've had all week.
- I'll make you another one.
128
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:09,080
I'll take you to dinner tonight.
You pick the spot.
129
00:09:10,349 --> 00:09:14,012
I'll make you a better offer.
My date's buying. She lost a bet.
130
00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:17,544
The Grand Duchess from Vassar again?
The way I feel, I can put up with anything.
131
00:09:17,623 --> 00:09:19,818
- I'm more worried, can she put up with you?
- Get her ready.
132
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:24,124
We've got to be at the ballroom at 8:00.
There's no time for nose powder.
133
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:32,597
Don't break your ears with that grin.
I can see. He's still in.
134
00:09:33,005 --> 00:09:36,532
- No loud whoops of joy, baby?
- Well, I tried everything.
135
00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:39,770
I crossed my fingers,
said prayers, burned candles.
136
00:09:39,845 --> 00:09:43,713
- Who's your tailor, princess?
- Let's get out of here.
137
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,075
I've had to look at that Chapman face all day.
138
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:50,714
I've got to cover his fiasco tonight
and suffer some more.
139
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:53,987
At least just looking at you for an hour
will be a welcome change.
140
00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:57,496
- Lf you're taking me to dinner, let's go.
- Taking him?
141
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,195
Wait a minute.
Our bet was between you and me.
142
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:03,463
Our bet was loser buys dinner.
We didn't say for how many.
143
00:10:03,536 --> 00:10:06,994
- Why, you double-crossing...
- I knew you'd be a good loser.
144
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:10,807
Someday remind me to tell you about girls.
145
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:20,248
You talk a couple of these suckers
into getting married.
146
00:10:20,319 --> 00:10:21,581
These Lonely Heart slobs got the gimmies,
147
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:23,519
and we've got plenty to give them
from the advertisers.
148
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:25,284
If you talk one couple
into getting married by 9:00,
149
00:10:25,358 --> 00:10:27,883
by 12:00 we'll have a dozen lined up
for wedded bliss.
150
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,155
- McCleary, the Brooklyn cupid.
- McCleary, the human yes man.
151
00:10:30,229 --> 00:10:31,594
Hey, Julie!
152
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:34,155
- Hello, Charlie.
- Charlie.
153
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:38,225
- How are you, Barnes?
- Fine, Mark. You're looking fit. McCleary.
154
00:10:38,571 --> 00:10:39,595
Thank you.
155
00:10:39,672 --> 00:10:41,799
What goes on? Are you ghosting
Allison's features, Charlie?
156
00:10:41,874 --> 00:10:43,774
No, he's helping me with research
for that series
157
00:10:43,843 --> 00:10:45,640
on historical monuments in New York.
158
00:10:45,711 --> 00:10:47,872
You couldn't pick a better man.
I ought to know.
159
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:50,006
Remember those old days, Mark?
160
00:10:50,082 --> 00:10:53,813
Like the time I cut the phone cables
at the Lindbergh trial?
161
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:55,520
You scooped me. Almost cost me my job.
162
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:59,957
Scooped you, the wire services,
scooped everybody. That was the year...
163
00:11:00,026 --> 00:11:02,358
That was the year you won the Pulitzer Prize.
164
00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:06,826
Listen, Mark.
This stuff I've been doing for Julie, it's...
165
00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:13,200
- Mark, I think I'm ready to go back to work.
- That's fine. I'm glad to hear it, Charlie.
166
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,164
How about it, Mark? How about a job?
167
00:11:19,645 --> 00:11:21,510
- Why not?
- Thanks.
168
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:25,447
- Charlie, I'm so proud of you!
- This is gonna take a little juggling.
169
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:26,849
I won't be able to do anything right away.
170
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:28,978
Look, Charlie, I'll call you.
We're late, we gotta rush.
171
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:31,785
Sure, Mark, I know how it is,
always on the go.
172
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:35,258
- Coffee in the morning? Skinners?
- Sure thing, Julie.
173
00:11:40,199 --> 00:11:41,257
All the time I thought you were a...
174
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:43,699
- How much did you give him?
- $10. He earned it.
175
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:44,929
Ten bucks?
176
00:11:45,004 --> 00:11:47,336
- Buy a lot of whiskey.
- Did you see that rum-dumb?
177
00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:49,806
- Come midnight, he'll be in the gutter.
- Now, wait a minute.
178
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:51,274
He's an alky, Julie.
You shouldn't give an alky
179
00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:52,367
more than a buck at a time.
180
00:11:52,445 --> 00:11:55,414
You're liable to kill him.
Ten bucks, he can take a bath in it.
181
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:58,314
But... Well, this job
will change everything for him.
182
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:01,319
Job? I wouldn't have him in my office,
let alone on my staff.
183
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:04,117
In you go, sucker. Where are you going?
184
00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:07,085
I'm not going to let him go off believing this.
185
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:10,617
- Do you want to break his heart?
- Do I? What do you think you're doing?
186
00:12:10,696 --> 00:12:13,358
I'm giving him hopes and dreams.
A rummy like that lives on dreams.
187
00:12:13,432 --> 00:12:17,061
- He's happy. Why spoil it?
- Happy? Happy like your Lonely Hearts,
188
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,798
looking forward to those big romances
they've been promised?
189
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:23,069
- Only Charlie's romance is with a bottle.
- Get in.
190
00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:48,057
Biddle, don't leave that camera at half mast.
Stop goldbricking on the other guys.
191
00:12:48,134 --> 00:12:52,127
I must have got 100 shots already,
Mr. Chapman. My arm's giving out.
192
00:12:52,204 --> 00:12:56,334
You've only started. I want shots of people
from every state. Now start shooting.
193
00:12:58,911 --> 00:13:01,038
How are you doing, princess?
194
00:13:01,147 --> 00:13:04,116
Well, it's an effort,
but I'm trying to keep from screaming.
195
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:06,981
You were a real bundle of laughs
during dinner, too.
196
00:13:07,052 --> 00:13:08,781
Why don't you simmer down now?
197
00:13:08,854 --> 00:13:10,515
You're not so pretty
when your feathers are all ruffled.
198
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:13,183
Don't, Steve. I'm in no mood for levity.
199
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:17,491
- Do you feel like dancing?
- Do you figure that'll smooth my feathers?
200
00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:21,691
I've got a great idea for you. Grab yourself
one of these Lonely Heart boys.
201
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:25,066
Tell him you're a club date. Con him.
Get his life history.
202
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:28,903
- And there's your feature for tomorrow.
- Mark Chapman, Junior.
203
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:31,568
It'll sell papers, you left that out.
204
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:34,871
Happy hunting, cupid.
Mustn't let the boss down.
205
00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:38,312
Save at least one dance for me, princess.
206
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:58,034
Every time I aim my lens
at one of these walking zombies,
207
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:01,334
I think of the time
I covered the Miss America contest.
208
00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:03,705
The tears almost start to flow.
209
00:14:06,378 --> 00:14:09,370
From McCleary, you get nothing but service.
Ten minutes before 9:00,
210
00:14:09,448 --> 00:14:13,179
and couple number one. Mary and Joe
met in front of the Arkansas booth.
211
00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:16,221
It was love at first sight, almost. Right?
212
00:14:16,288 --> 00:14:20,349
Well, sure. I'm from Texas,
but I sure love that Arkansas cooking.
213
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,890
- You love her, don't you?
- Well, sure, I reckon so.
214
00:14:23,963 --> 00:14:26,158
- Mary, you love him?
- Yes.
215
00:14:26,966 --> 00:14:31,130
- See, they're crazy about each other.
- Yeah, that's fine. Hey, Edwards.
216
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:33,535
We've got a romance going here.
They're ready for the orange blossoms.
217
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,837
- Well, how do you do? And congratulations.
- Save the teeth for the bandstand.
218
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:38,171
Get up there
and make the big announcement.
219
00:14:38,244 --> 00:14:42,044
Yes, sir, Mr. Chapman.
Come with me, you lucky, lucky people.
220
00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:46,842
Hey, you ain't gonna forget about the bed
with the built-in television set?
221
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:48,614
You'll spend your honeymoon in front of it.
222
00:14:51,624 --> 00:14:55,321
- Nice going, Steve, keep punching.
- I'll get the camera boys up to cover it.
223
00:14:57,129 --> 00:15:01,862
- Did you find a feature to write about yet?
- I haven't, and I don't intend to.
224
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:05,435
This bribing of poor, ignorant dopes
into a public wedding
225
00:15:05,504 --> 00:15:07,665
is cheap, cruel and disgusting.
226
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:10,573
This whole Wild West show is ridiculous,
and I want no part of it.
227
00:15:10,643 --> 00:15:13,305
Miss Allison,
your contract has six months to run.
228
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:17,281
My contract was made with Mr. Madison
before you took over the <i>Express.</i>
229
00:15:17,349 --> 00:15:18,543
If you don't like the way I run the paper,
230
00:15:18,617 --> 00:15:21,245
I have an agreement
that might be satisfactory to both of us.
231
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,811
Take six months' vacation with pay!
232
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:30,286
No, thank you, Mr. Chapman. I'll work it out.
I like my feature writing.
233
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,898
Thinking people like it, too,
234
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:37,561
even though there aren't many of them
buying the <i>Express</i> anymore. Good night!
235
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:43,605
That's it.
236
00:15:50,382 --> 00:15:53,613
<i>Friends, brothers and sisters</i>
<i>in the Lonely Hearts Club.</i>
237
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:55,677
<i>I have wonderful news for you,</i>
238
00:15:55,754 --> 00:15:59,747
<i>living proof that this magnificent club</i>
<i>is more than just a name.</i>
239
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:04,386
<i>But first, how would you like to meet</i>
<i>the great man who created your club?</i>
240
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:11,998
<i>Mr. Mark Chapman,</i>
<i>editor of the</i> New York Express.
241
00:16:12,071 --> 00:16:14,665
<i>Put the spotlight on him, over there!</i>
242
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,782
<i>Now here's the wonderful news.</i>
243
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:37,056
<i>Meet Mary and Joe, two happy people</i>
<i>who came here tonight as total strangers.</i>
244
00:16:37,463 --> 00:16:42,400
<i>They met, they danced, they found love.</i>
<i>They're going to get married!</i>
245
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,474
George?
246
00:16:57,516 --> 00:17:00,041
<i>- As the first couple who fell in love tonight...</i>
- George Grant!
247
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:01,814
<i>...Mary and Joe will receive...</i>
- It is you!
248
00:17:01,887 --> 00:17:03,752
<i>...compliments of the</i> Express...
- Charlotte.
249
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:05,119
<i>... a wedding night in a New York hotel...</i>
250
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:08,921
Finding you here...
I was so sure that you must be dead.
251
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:11,759
George Grant is dead.
252
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:14,259
Yes, I just heard.
253
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,134
- You're the...
- We can't talk here.
254
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:19,901
We can talk at my place, George.
255
00:17:20,806 --> 00:17:23,036
We've got a lot to talk about.
256
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:26,509
Go on out. I'll meet you at the side entrance.
257
00:17:32,785 --> 00:17:35,151
The years have been kinder to you.
258
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:38,621
What is it, 19, 20?
I used to keep track, but I don't...
259
00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:41,716
What's the difference?
Now that you found me, what do you want?
260
00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:57,401
May I?
261
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:07,375
- Come on, quit stalling around.
- What was it they called you at the ball?
262
00:18:07,453 --> 00:18:08,977
- Mark?
- Chapman.
263
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:15,755
When did you change your name, George?
Right after you left me?
264
00:18:17,062 --> 00:18:18,962
So I wouldn't find you?
265
00:18:19,631 --> 00:18:21,292
You knew I was so crazy about you
266
00:18:21,366 --> 00:18:24,028
I'd look and look and look,
didn't you, George?
267
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,697
Come on, get to it. What do you want?
268
00:18:27,739 --> 00:18:32,574
You're still in a hurry, aren't you?
That's the thing I remember best about you.
269
00:18:32,878 --> 00:18:37,645
The fellow who always ran and never walked.
Had to get places fast!
270
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,749
And you got places, didn't you, George?
271
00:18:44,323 --> 00:18:46,883
Here, you need some money?
Here's some for now.
272
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,860
Money? The payoff, George?
273
00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:54,497
How much? How much for each year?
274
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:58,633
How much for the agony
and the heartbreak and the fear?
275
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:03,141
- Charlotte, cut the ham act.
- This could be for the doctor bill, see?
276
00:19:06,578 --> 00:19:10,173
I was 20 years younger then,
took things more seriously.
277
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:14,142
I can't imagine how much.
278
00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:18,087
You're boring me now, like you always did.
279
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:20,388
People always bored you
280
00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:23,155
when you didn't have
any more use for them, didn't they, George?
281
00:19:23,228 --> 00:19:25,025
Bores and nuisances, I get rid of them.
282
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:27,497
Yeah, the same gentle way
you got rid of me.
283
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:28,692
My lawyer will get in touch with you.
284
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:31,702
He'll arrange a quiet divorce
and generous alimony.
285
00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:34,671
You're an important man now,
aren't you, George?
286
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:37,038
Editor of the <i>New York Express.</i>
287
00:19:38,977 --> 00:19:43,346
I never thought I'd be the wife of the editor
of a big New York newspaper.
288
00:19:43,415 --> 00:19:47,112
You're not, and don't get any ideas
about forcing yourself.
289
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:51,020
You've got nothing to gain by refusing me
a divorce now like you did 20 years ago.
290
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:56,759
I was young then and so foolishly in love.
I wanted so much to hold onto you.
291
00:19:57,496 --> 00:20:00,021
I made all of my mistakes when I was young,
and you were the biggest one.
292
00:20:00,098 --> 00:20:02,794
I fell for an attractive hunk of flesh.
293
00:20:04,169 --> 00:20:07,627
"Hold me." You didn't try to hang on.
You strangled me.
294
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,936
I'd smother to death with you.
295
00:20:15,747 --> 00:20:19,808
Turnabout's fair play.
When you walked out on me, I died inside.
296
00:20:20,352 --> 00:20:23,116
When I walk out of here, you're gonna die.
297
00:20:23,188 --> 00:20:27,852
Everything you worked for, grabbed for,
ruined people to get, it's all gonna die!
298
00:20:27,926 --> 00:20:29,393
You're a neurotic screwball!
299
00:20:29,461 --> 00:20:33,955
I'm gonna spread your story all over town.
Mark Chapman, the great editor!
300
00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:37,829
Wife deserter!
Living under a false name for 20 years.
301
00:20:39,137 --> 00:20:42,334
What else did you cover up
living under a phony name?
302
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:44,637
Your publishers are gonna love this.
303
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:49,044
And the other papers, they'll cut you
to ribbons with this information!
304
00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,470
Hi, honey, let me have the city room.
305
00:23:33,812 --> 00:23:37,179
This is Elkins.
If you need me, I'm over in Skinners.
306
00:23:38,316 --> 00:23:41,808
What? Having breakfast. Yeah, breakfast.
307
00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:53,323
Yes, Julie, after that fortunate
and historical meeting with Mark yesterday,
308
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:57,629
I had considerable difficulty
wooing the fickle Morpheus.
309
00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:01,939
That explains it.
Those bleeding eyes today.
310
00:24:02,474 --> 00:24:05,341
Well, I did have a couple
with the boys down below.
311
00:24:05,410 --> 00:24:08,277
A sort of celebration, and then farewell.
312
00:24:11,049 --> 00:24:13,574
You should have left them long ago, Charlie.
313
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:15,916
Any man who was big enough
in his day to rate that,
314
00:24:16,555 --> 00:24:20,389
a place in Skinner's Hall of Fame,
is still too big for Dead-End Street.
315
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:25,028
No regrets, Julie. My temporary alliance
with the denizens of the Bowery
316
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:29,863
has provided me with a deeper insight
into the whys and wherefores of mankind.
317
00:24:35,674 --> 00:24:38,006
A proven medical fact,
when the human system
318
00:24:38,076 --> 00:24:40,840
has been lengthily nurtured
on alcoholic stimulants,
319
00:24:40,912 --> 00:24:44,871
any abrupt cessation of same
will result in a negative reaction.
320
00:24:45,016 --> 00:24:46,381
Absolutely.
321
00:24:47,652 --> 00:24:52,385
But I'm tapering off. I'll be a firmly-rooted
passenger on the old water wagon
322
00:24:52,524 --> 00:24:54,856
by the time Mark's ready for me.
323
00:24:57,295 --> 00:25:01,561
Charlie, don't bet everything
on Mark Chapman.
324
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:06,666
He won't let me down.
First time I felt ready, I asked him for a job,
325
00:25:06,938 --> 00:25:10,032
and what happened?
He offered me one, didn't he?
326
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:15,173
- Mr. Lonely Heart.
- Compliments of the <i>Express,</i> Myrtle.
327
00:25:15,747 --> 00:25:18,545
- I see you read. You stick with the radio.
- Yeah.
328
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:20,744
Hey, McCleary,
I read that rag of yours by accident.
329
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:23,287
Yeah, me, too.
From ax murder to Ionely hearts.
330
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:25,653
What are you trying to prove,
you're versatile or something?
331
00:25:25,724 --> 00:25:27,885
What are you gentlemen
reading our rag for?
332
00:25:27,959 --> 00:25:30,427
Trying to find out
what's happening that's news?
333
00:25:30,495 --> 00:25:32,929
Good morning, kiddies. What's the word?
334
00:25:35,066 --> 00:25:36,624
Silly, that's the word.
335
00:25:36,701 --> 00:25:38,635
Still a heaping bunch of joy,
aren't you, princess?
336
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:43,663
Lonely Hearts Ball. Journalism has certainly
changed since the old days.
337
00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:47,302
What happened to you last night?
Pulled a fast fade on me.
338
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:50,712
- Don't tell me you actually missed me?
- I needed protection.
339
00:25:50,782 --> 00:25:53,250
Some of our love-hungry subscribers
got mixed up.
340
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:56,014
They were offering me deep-freezes
and vacuum cleaners.
341
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:59,318
- I'm surprised you refused.
- How do you know I did?
342
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:02,849
Certainly heavy coverage
on the unrequited passion set.
343
00:26:03,261 --> 00:26:06,924
Our love and romance edition, Charlie.
Even the crossword puzzle.
344
00:26:06,998 --> 00:26:08,966
But nothing from the Allison corner.
345
00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:12,335
Not interested in romance, Julie?
346
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:16,465
Not the kind that blossoms
on free gas stoves and television sets.
347
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:21,235
- About that Lonely Heart gag, I've got a...
- Steve, on the radio.
348
00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:27,652
- Julie. Hi, Charlie.
- Hi, Biddle.
349
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:31,086
Police call. Dead dame in a flat
on Third Avenue. Are you interested?
350
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:33,090
Well, she'd probably be a cheerful change.
351
00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:36,685
I'm still getting the icebox treatment
from the female on my left.
352
00:26:36,761 --> 00:26:40,162
After them scarecrows I shot last night,
I figure my luck's gotta change.
353
00:26:40,231 --> 00:26:43,428
Even dead, this dame's bound
to have more glamour.
354
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:45,467
Let's give her a look.
355
00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:48,801
Thanks for the coffee, kitten.
356
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:03,785
Another scarecrow. I'm batting goose eggs.
357
00:27:05,323 --> 00:27:07,848
Dames have got to make trouble
even when they die, don't they, pal?
358
00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:11,384
Yeah, water downstairs and water upstairs.
359
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:14,531
Probably wanted a room
with a swimming pool.
360
00:27:14,966 --> 00:27:16,866
Hey, Davis, what are you doing here?
361
00:27:16,935 --> 00:27:21,031
I just wanted to see if I couldn't get
to one of our calls before you did.
362
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:22,471
This isn't a homicide?
363
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:24,531
We got a new man
on the beat here, McCleary.
364
00:27:24,609 --> 00:27:26,167
He's built like you between the ears.
365
00:27:26,244 --> 00:27:29,975
He saw a hole in the back of the dame's head
and figured she was slugged.
366
00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:31,515
What's your guess, Lieutenant?
367
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:33,949
She put the hole
in the back of her head herself?
368
00:27:34,019 --> 00:27:36,783
Yeah, wise-eyes, that's it. That's it exactly.
369
00:27:36,855 --> 00:27:40,291
She slipped in the tub
and opened her skull on a faucet.
370
00:27:40,358 --> 00:27:43,953
- What was the lady's name, Sherlock?
- The landlady says Jane Jones.
371
00:27:44,029 --> 00:27:45,360
- Do you believe it?
- Yeah, I believe it.
372
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:47,762
I'm fresh out of nursery school.
373
00:27:48,466 --> 00:27:52,402
Jane Jones, alias Jane Doe.
Say, Dave, you're really humming.
374
00:27:53,204 --> 00:27:56,401
Look, nuisance, if you so much as make
these bedsprings squeak once again,
375
00:27:56,474 --> 00:28:00,308
- I'll throw you in the tub with the dame.
- Lieutenant, please.
376
00:28:04,616 --> 00:28:08,177
You're wrong, Dave.
She was murdered. Clear as your head.
377
00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:10,347
Murdered for her money.
378
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:13,949
Why, this lady must have spent easily
six or seven dollars a year on clothes.
379
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:15,492
Why don't you go home, McCleary?
380
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,462
There's nothing around here
to interest a big newsman like you.
381
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:27,827
Look, junior, keep your nose
in your own business, or I'll run you in
382
00:28:27,906 --> 00:28:31,137
- for obstruction, suspicion and vagrancy.
- Why, sure, Dave.
383
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:33,837
I just thought there might be something
in here to help identify her.
384
00:28:33,912 --> 00:28:35,243
No suitcase, huh?
385
00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:41,715
- In there, boys.
- Okay, Steve, I got all I need.
386
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:46,957
Thanks, Dave.
387
00:28:49,127 --> 00:28:52,062
- No, not you two again.
- What do you guys do,
388
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:54,758
smell these things
before the police call is even in?
389
00:28:54,833 --> 00:28:57,301
Try to forget your mugs.
There's a lady in the bathroom.
390
00:28:57,368 --> 00:29:00,531
- Yes, so knock before entering.
- Coming through.
391
00:29:10,381 --> 00:29:12,406
- What'd you pinch that for?
- Look familiar?
392
00:29:12,484 --> 00:29:15,544
I had them in front of me all night, didn't I?
393
00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:18,747
Hey, that's off a Lonely Hearts badge!
394
00:29:18,823 --> 00:29:22,554
Yeah. How many pictures
did you and the boys take at the ball?
395
00:29:22,627 --> 00:29:24,925
Three, maybe four hundred. I don't know.
396
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:27,260
Rush the print of Miss Bathtub
through the lab.
397
00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:28,594
Then check it against the others.
398
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:30,964
- See if you can match them up, okay?
- Sure.
399
00:29:31,035 --> 00:29:34,937
- Shouldn't take more than a week.
- Yeah, but I want it done in an hour.
400
00:29:35,006 --> 00:29:36,701
- I'll see you at the office.
- Where are you going?
401
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:39,903
I'm gonna hitch a ride to the morgue.
If you match them, call me.
402
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,674
How about a ride to the morgue, Pete?
403
00:30:04,969 --> 00:30:07,096
Hey, Needle Nellie, anybody home?
404
00:30:07,172 --> 00:30:08,662
Hey, handsome.
405
00:30:09,007 --> 00:30:11,271
- How you doing, sweetheart?
- Doing all right, handsome.
406
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:13,037
Come here and give us a kiss.
407
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,815
- How's business at the morgue, Nellie?
- Dead.
408
00:30:19,551 --> 00:30:21,178
Business is dead.
409
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:25,621
- It's good to see you, handsome.
- Likewise, sweetheart.
410
00:30:25,690 --> 00:30:27,385
A long time between dates.
411
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:30,621
But right now,
I come seeking your expert female advice.
412
00:30:30,695 --> 00:30:34,131
Anybody that's lived as long as me
can give it. Shoot.
413
00:30:34,732 --> 00:30:37,565
Nellie, if you had just one dress
to your name
414
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:39,535
and you'd fastened something onto it
with a safety pin,
415
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:40,969
and maybe you were in a hurry,
416
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,008
would you take time to undo the pin,
or would you rip the whole thing off?
417
00:30:44,075 --> 00:30:46,305
- This is a riddle?
- No, seriously.
418
00:30:46,377 --> 00:30:51,041
Well, if I had 10 dresses and the house
was burning down, I'd still undo the pin.
419
00:30:51,115 --> 00:30:52,639
Any lady would.
420
00:30:53,017 --> 00:30:55,485
That's what I figured.
I just wanted a woman to confirm it.
421
00:30:55,553 --> 00:30:57,453
I love you, Nellie. I love you.
422
00:30:57,522 --> 00:31:00,047
- Where you going, handsome?
- I gotta see the doc.
423
00:31:00,124 --> 00:31:01,955
Maybe I can get you some business, Nellie.
424
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:11,364
Did you get those ringside ducats
I sent you?
425
00:31:11,436 --> 00:31:13,427
Steve! Yeah, it was a great fight.
426
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:15,438
Mishke really tore that Haybelly apart,
didn't he?
427
00:31:15,506 --> 00:31:19,840
Had so much blood spattered on my glasses,
I missed the knockout punch.
428
00:31:20,478 --> 00:31:24,175
Look, Doc,
they just brought in an accidental death.
429
00:31:24,249 --> 00:31:27,047
- They're putting her in the freezer right now.
- So?
430
00:31:27,118 --> 00:31:30,110
So, I'd like you to give her
the onceover for me. An autopsy.
431
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:33,646
Accidents are out of my province.
You know that, Steve.
432
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:35,383
It's going to be
a great World Series this year.
433
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:37,087
Yeah, that it is.
434
00:31:37,528 --> 00:31:41,362
I don't suppose you'd be interested
in viewing the festivities from a box seat?
435
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:47,132
Are you trying to bribe a city official?
436
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:51,135
Right behind first base, Doc.
437
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:11,028
Yeah. Yeah, get some prints ready.
I think we've got our front page.
438
00:32:11,095 --> 00:32:14,792
Well, this is your lucky day. Drop back,
I want you to mark my racing form.
439
00:32:14,866 --> 00:32:16,766
Get the door, will you?
440
00:32:17,368 --> 00:32:20,064
Yeah, and don't forget, I smoke cigars.
441
00:32:20,838 --> 00:32:24,831
- Hey, Steve, let me wipe those off a little.
- Wipe them tomorrow.
442
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:32,008
Will you smile again
if I take you to dinner tonight?
443
00:32:32,083 --> 00:32:34,847
- A little celebration coming up.
- What's the celebration?
444
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:37,649
Another McCleary scoop.
Getting monotonous, isn't it?
445
00:32:37,722 --> 00:32:42,557
That dinner. A two-party celebration,
or are you bringing a friend?
446
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:44,559
Just you and me alone.
447
00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:47,825
I'll smile again.
What are the fragile treasures?
448
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:52,060
Very rare items.
Pictures of a dame with her mouth shut.
449
00:32:53,071 --> 00:32:55,972
- Joey, catch the door, will you?
- All right.
450
00:32:58,676 --> 00:33:01,270
I've been waiting a long time
for a chance to say this.
451
00:33:01,346 --> 00:33:03,439
- Stop the presses!
- Did you get a morning-after story
452
00:33:03,514 --> 00:33:05,004
on any of those couples
we married last night?
453
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:07,483
I got a story from one
of the Lonely Heart Ball guests, all right.
454
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:11,079
But she didn't get married last night.
She got murdered!
455
00:33:19,964 --> 00:33:23,263
- Who is she?
- A Jane Doe. Nobody knows her real name.
456
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:25,996
The police think she slipped in the bathtub
and bashed her head in,
457
00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:30,507
- or they did until a little while ago.
- But you knew better all the time?
458
00:33:30,575 --> 00:33:32,941
After Doc O'Hanlon got through
cutting her up for me.
459
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:36,538
She died between 9:00 and 12:00 last night,
before she went under in the tub.
460
00:33:36,614 --> 00:33:38,479
No water in her lungs.
461
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:40,283
Did he find anything else?
462
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:44,788
Yeah, her killer was a man, middle-aged,
fair complexion. Had brown hair.
463
00:33:45,390 --> 00:33:47,620
O'Hanlon found that
in scraping under her fingernails.
464
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:50,593
You ran into this
just by playing a hunch, huh?
465
00:33:50,661 --> 00:33:53,858
A string from a Lonely Heart badge
was on her dress in the closet.
466
00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:57,628
The badge had been torn off.
I followed through from there.
467
00:34:00,371 --> 00:34:04,364
Well, is this a story,
this Lonely Heart murdered after the ball?
468
00:34:04,575 --> 00:34:06,805
Can you sell papers with this?
469
00:34:10,248 --> 00:34:13,342
Baxter, Jordan, Allison,
get in here right away.
470
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:15,477
They didn't know her name, you said?
471
00:34:15,553 --> 00:34:18,920
Well, she called herself Jane Jones.
How phony can you get?
472
00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:20,014
We've just been struck by lightning.
473
00:34:20,091 --> 00:34:22,025
It's a great follow-up
for the Lonely Hearts Ball.
474
00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:24,118
Tell them about it, Steve.
475
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:30,997
We'll call her Miss Lonely Heart,
no other name. Alone in the city, friendless.
476
00:34:31,536 --> 00:34:34,801
She went to our shindig last night,
hunting for a soul mate.
477
00:34:34,872 --> 00:34:37,363
Maybe she found one, the wrong one.
478
00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:39,872
Anyway, she left early,
and sometime before midnight
479
00:34:39,944 --> 00:34:41,343
she was beaten to death in her room
480
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:44,540
by a brown-haired, middle-aged man
of fair complexion.
481
00:34:44,615 --> 00:34:46,480
A smash follow-up is right.
482
00:34:46,551 --> 00:34:49,247
The killer had a head full of brains.
Good nerves.
483
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,723
He lugged her to the bathroom,
stripped her, tossed the body in the tub.
484
00:34:54,459 --> 00:34:58,520
No. No, he stood the body in the tub.
Aimed, let go!
485
00:34:58,696 --> 00:35:03,190
Bang, her head cracks the faucet.
Almost perfect crime. Ordinary accident.
486
00:35:04,035 --> 00:35:06,936
He's working smartly,
a guy with imagination.
487
00:35:07,004 --> 00:35:10,963
He takes her slip, stockings,
washes them, hangs them up to dry.
488
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,000
He wipes his prints off everywhere.
489
00:35:13,077 --> 00:35:16,274
He starts getting rid of anything
that could identify her.
490
00:35:16,347 --> 00:35:18,907
He took a ring off her,
probably a wedding or engagement ring.
491
00:35:18,983 --> 00:35:22,111
- How do you know that?
- Whitish circle, third finger, left hand.
492
00:35:22,186 --> 00:35:25,587
- O'Hanlon spotted it at the morgue.
- All right, go on, go on.
493
00:35:25,656 --> 00:35:27,954
Well, he grabs any other personal items
that might identify her
494
00:35:28,025 --> 00:35:29,856
and throws them in her suitcase and blows.
495
00:35:29,927 --> 00:35:32,361
- How do you know she's got a suitcase?
- Every dame's got a suitcase.
496
00:35:32,430 --> 00:35:34,022
But there wasn't one
in Miss Lonely Heart's room.
497
00:35:34,098 --> 00:35:35,861
This'll kick up the circulation.
498
00:35:36,701 --> 00:35:40,137
We can make the 5:00 edition exclusive.
Steve can do the lead story.
499
00:35:40,204 --> 00:35:42,263
Jordan, I want three column cuts
of the dame's picture at the ball
500
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:44,433
and the murder photo.
Allison, write me a sob story,
501
00:35:44,509 --> 00:35:46,568
"Miss Lonely Heart
won't be Ionely anymore."
502
00:35:46,644 --> 00:35:47,736
Fine job, Steve.
503
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,303
Sure, it's a great job,
but we're gonna top it.
504
00:35:50,381 --> 00:35:51,439
How?
505
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,513
- Bury her.
- Bury her?
506
00:35:57,555 --> 00:35:59,682
The best story I ever dug up, and he tops it.
507
00:35:59,757 --> 00:36:02,157
By 5:00 tonight, Miss Lonely Heart
will be selling newspapers for us
508
00:36:02,226 --> 00:36:05,923
on every street corner in Manhattan.
Now, go on, get going.
509
00:37:42,126 --> 00:37:43,787
Be seeing you, Humpty.
510
00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:31,269
Look, I've shown you everything in the shop.
That's the last one I've got!
511
00:38:35,513 --> 00:38:36,605
Mark!
512
00:38:39,283 --> 00:38:41,217
- Mark, old boy!
- How are you, Charlie.
513
00:38:41,285 --> 00:38:45,085
What distasteful mission brings you to this
unholy neighborhood, Mark, my friend?
514
00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:46,589
I'm just looking around.
I like to keep my hand in,
515
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,124
even though I am strapped
to a desk right now.
516
00:38:48,192 --> 00:38:50,126
You wouldn't mean you're keeping
your hand in by working
517
00:38:50,194 --> 00:38:51,821
on this Lonely Heart murder,
would you, now, Mark?
518
00:38:51,896 --> 00:38:53,955
I've got a staff to take care of that for me.
519
00:38:54,031 --> 00:38:56,727
You can't kid an old newshound
like me, Mark.
520
00:38:56,801 --> 00:39:00,999
Still following our old formula,
first check the hock shops for a clue?
521
00:39:01,072 --> 00:39:03,336
Didn't wanna tip your hand
to those cops in there, did you?
522
00:39:03,407 --> 00:39:05,637
I tell you I'm not down here on business.
Now stop playing hawkshaw!
523
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:08,770
Let me show you Charlie Barnes
still has the master's touch
524
00:39:08,846 --> 00:39:11,713
- when it comes to following up a lead, Mark.
- Tell me about it later, will you,
525
00:39:11,782 --> 00:39:15,684
- when you come back to work for me?
- You're afraid I'll get drunk and tip the story.
526
00:39:15,753 --> 00:39:18,881
- I'm tapering off, Mark.
- That's fine, Charlie. I'll call you.
527
00:39:18,956 --> 00:39:23,825
Let me work this with you, Mark. I know
this whole district from gutter to rum-heads.
528
00:39:23,894 --> 00:39:26,226
Pete in the pawnshop's
an honored friend of mine.
529
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:27,992
- Yeah.
- I can get him to work with me and...
530
00:39:28,065 --> 00:39:30,898
- Hello, Charlie!
- Go away.
531
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:35,400
- Here, Charlie, here's something to count.
- I don't want a handout, Mark.
532
00:39:35,473 --> 00:39:37,498
- I want to work.
- You can pay me later. I'll call you, Charlie.
533
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:39,338
Mark, let me help...
534
00:40:13,544 --> 00:40:14,704
Hang onto them, Pete.
535
00:40:14,779 --> 00:40:17,873
We'll drop back payday
and look them over again.
536
00:40:25,022 --> 00:40:26,489
Them guys should wear glasses.
537
00:40:26,557 --> 00:40:29,185
They do so much looking,
but never no buying.
538
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:31,125
Get this for me, Pete.
539
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:34,356
Taking something out for a change
instead of putting it in, Charlie?
540
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:37,526
I admit to the novelty of the occasion, Peter.
541
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:50,109
- Hey, you didn't hock this with me.
- Doing a favor for a friend.
542
00:40:52,082 --> 00:40:56,178
Them cops. You know, if someday
they should buy something from me, I'd...
543
00:40:56,253 --> 00:40:59,620
No, that'd be bad. I'd drop dead.
544
00:41:02,226 --> 00:41:06,185
You know, Charlie, I ought to be
in some other kind of business.
545
00:41:06,697 --> 00:41:10,497
You really meet a very poor class of people
in this business.
546
00:41:10,768 --> 00:41:13,259
Not meaning anything personal,
you understand.
547
00:41:13,337 --> 00:41:16,773
But I'm always dealing with people
who are in trouble,
548
00:41:17,274 --> 00:41:21,608
people who gotta hock something.
People who gotta buy something cheap.
549
00:41:24,582 --> 00:41:28,109
I don't like cheap things.
I never did and I never will.
550
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:34,356
I should have been big fur man, maybe,
or big jewelry man.
551
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,651
Then I could deal with rich people.
552
00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:42,554
That's the kind of people
I really prefer to deal with.
553
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:47,694
- Hey! How much is on this ticket?
- Two bucks.
554
00:41:58,249 --> 00:41:59,841
Here, sign here.
555
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:08,424
You know, sometimes they say
even the rich people aren't happy.
556
00:42:08,492 --> 00:42:11,017
But how that could be, I don't know.
557
00:42:12,296 --> 00:42:15,857
Thank you, Peter.
Thank you for being in business!
558
00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:21,433
Thank you very much.
559
00:42:33,517 --> 00:42:35,041
A shot, Heeney.
560
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:38,614
You look like your blood pressure's boiling,
Charlie. What's the matter?
561
00:42:38,689 --> 00:42:40,680
The classic irony of the age, Heeney.
562
00:42:40,758 --> 00:42:43,659
Charlie Barnes, a stewbum,
rocking the newspaper world
563
00:42:43,727 --> 00:42:46,457
like he never did in all his sober days.
564
00:43:00,411 --> 00:43:02,208
- Composing.
- Yes, sir.
565
00:43:04,481 --> 00:43:07,712
Yes. Yes, madam,
I have two answers for you.
566
00:43:08,185 --> 00:43:11,313
First, you shouldn't talk
to strange men in bars.
567
00:43:11,388 --> 00:43:13,982
Second, because he asked you to marry him
568
00:43:14,058 --> 00:43:16,356
then hit you with a pretzel dish
when you refused
569
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:19,191
isn't conclusive proof
he's our Lonely Heart Killer,
570
00:43:19,263 --> 00:43:21,697
but thanks for calling, lady. Bye.
571
00:43:23,334 --> 00:43:26,326
Phony or not,
those tips belong to the police.
572
00:43:26,704 --> 00:43:30,299
When are you going to get rid of the idea
you're wearing an invisible badge?
573
00:43:30,374 --> 00:43:34,140
Julie Allison. Hello, Charlie. How are you?
574
00:43:36,714 --> 00:43:38,181
The Lonely Heart murder?
575
00:43:38,248 --> 00:43:42,844
And you've got to meet me right away.
We have to figure out how to handle this.
576
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,514
I know the killer, and it's dynamite.
577
00:43:46,757 --> 00:43:48,952
Well, Charlie,
that story is really Steve McCleary's.
578
00:43:49,026 --> 00:43:52,587
- I think you'd better talk to...
- No, no, Julie, I want you to have this.
579
00:43:52,663 --> 00:43:55,393
Now I can repay you, Julie child,
for everything.
580
00:43:55,466 --> 00:43:59,596
Julie, this is so... It's so tremendous,
it'll put both of us on top.
581
00:44:02,272 --> 00:44:04,035
What? What, Julie?
582
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:08,835
Okay, okay, both of you meet me.
583
00:44:08,912 --> 00:44:11,540
Maybe we will need
somebody like McCleary.
584
00:44:11,615 --> 00:44:14,175
Steve, Charlie says
he has information on the murder.
585
00:44:14,251 --> 00:44:18,654
- He's awfully excited about something.
- About two quarts full, probably.
586
00:44:19,890 --> 00:44:21,881
Yeah, Charlie, what's up?
587
00:44:22,726 --> 00:44:25,695
I wanted Julie to have this,
but she insists you be on in it.
588
00:44:25,763 --> 00:44:27,663
I mean you be in on it.
589
00:44:27,965 --> 00:44:30,297
- What's the matter, Charlie?
- No.
590
00:44:31,368 --> 00:44:34,462
- What? You're not sore, are you?
- No, go away!
591
00:44:36,006 --> 00:44:38,099
What? What have I got?
592
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:40,939
I've got the Lonely Heart Killer for you,
that's what!
593
00:44:41,011 --> 00:44:44,777
Gee, Charlie, that's great.
You getting him crocked so he'll confess?
594
00:44:44,848 --> 00:44:48,807
I haven't got him. I know who he is.
595
00:44:54,858 --> 00:44:55,950
What?
596
00:44:59,563 --> 00:45:03,465
Yes, I'm in a saloon.
I'm in Heeney's. But I'm not drunk.
597
00:45:04,034 --> 00:45:07,128
I've just taken the hottest story
of the century out of hock, and I'm gonna...
598
00:45:08,038 --> 00:45:11,064
He's really flying tonight.
See what your 10 bucks did?
599
00:45:11,141 --> 00:45:15,009
Stop treating him like some
weak-minded child. Listen to what he's got.
600
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:19,482
- He's not this excited for nothing.
- You know what he's got? The DTs.
601
00:45:19,616 --> 00:45:21,675
Charlie Barnes, tanked to the eyeballs,
602
00:45:21,752 --> 00:45:24,880
says he just took the Lonely Heart
murder solution out of hock.
603
00:45:26,056 --> 00:45:29,583
Hello, Charlie?
Still there? Let's start all over again.
604
00:45:30,294 --> 00:45:34,788
Listen, you mental midget. The only reason
I'm calling the <i>Express</i> is Julie Allison.
605
00:45:34,865 --> 00:45:37,732
Before I'd give this story
to an insolent young pup like you,
606
00:45:37,801 --> 00:45:39,792
I'd take it to the <i>Daily Leader!</i>
607
00:45:39,870 --> 00:45:42,304
Charlie's mad now.
Gonna sell it to the <i>Leader.</i>
608
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:46,069
- Hang up on the drunken slob.
- Julie? She just left.
609
00:45:46,477 --> 00:45:48,570
I guess we'll just have to read your story
in the <i>Leader</i> tomorrow.
610
00:45:48,645 --> 00:45:50,772
- So long, pal.
- Give me that.
611
00:45:51,815 --> 00:45:53,077
- Hello? Hello?
- Don't be silly, Julie.
612
00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:55,141
He'll just keep you up all night
listening to his fairytales.
613
00:45:55,219 --> 00:45:59,349
- Where was he calling from?
- Bellevue psycho ward, I think he said.
614
00:46:00,257 --> 00:46:01,747
Your 10 bucks.
615
00:47:13,697 --> 00:47:15,460
- Keep this for me, Heeney.
- Why, sure, Charlie.
616
00:47:15,532 --> 00:47:17,056
A couple hours.
617
00:47:17,868 --> 00:47:20,359
One more, Heeney. One for the road.
618
00:48:05,215 --> 00:48:06,739
Hello, Charlie.
619
00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:13,617
Mark. I thought you were still down
at the Bowery.
620
00:48:15,692 --> 00:48:18,024
I hear you got a story, Charlie.
621
00:48:18,195 --> 00:48:20,060
Where'd you hear that?
622
00:48:20,597 --> 00:48:25,364
- Isn't that what you told McCleary?
- Why, I was just schmoozing him, I...
623
00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:28,295
Lining him up for a little touch.
624
00:48:28,372 --> 00:48:31,432
I gave you some money.
What did you do with it?
625
00:48:31,775 --> 00:48:33,333
You didn't, by any chance,
find a pawn ticket
626
00:48:33,410 --> 00:48:36,379
- mixed in with the money, did you, Charlie?
- Pawn ticket? Why, I...
627
00:48:36,446 --> 00:48:40,177
Did you use the money
to get the story out of hock, Charlie?
628
00:48:41,218 --> 00:48:44,585
You've got something that belongs to me.
Where is it?
629
00:48:45,389 --> 00:48:47,220
You were on the way to the <i>Leader</i>
with some evidence.
630
00:48:47,291 --> 00:48:49,725
Where is it, Charlie? Where is it?
631
00:49:01,905 --> 00:49:04,738
It's a wonderful story, isn't it, Charlie?
632
00:49:05,509 --> 00:49:07,909
You wanted to be a big man, Mark.
633
00:49:08,745 --> 00:49:12,476
This will make you famous
beyond your most ambitious dreams.
634
00:49:13,884 --> 00:49:18,412
Great story?
I've waited all my life for a story like this.
635
00:49:19,456 --> 00:49:23,483
Well, you've got it, Charlie.
But you're not going to write it.
636
00:49:27,130 --> 00:49:30,622
You're crazy, Mark.
Twenty years you've covered the news.
637
00:49:30,701 --> 00:49:33,761
Seen the bright boys try this. It never works.
638
00:49:56,493 --> 00:49:59,587
We just heard about Charlie Barnes.
Rotten deal.
639
00:50:00,163 --> 00:50:04,293
It's hard when it's someone like Charlie
you've known for 22 years.
640
00:50:04,401 --> 00:50:06,164
I knew him 25 years.
641
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:10,167
I never expected to see him
laying on a slab in this place.
642
00:50:10,507 --> 00:50:15,001
Is that right, Doc? Was he found
in an alleyway across from the <i>Daily Leader?</i>
643
00:50:15,078 --> 00:50:17,205
- Steve...
- Yes, that's right.
644
00:50:17,447 --> 00:50:20,439
The <i>Daily Leader.</i> He had a story!
645
00:50:20,517 --> 00:50:23,509
But he was taking your clever,
insolent, fresh-guy advice
646
00:50:23,587 --> 00:50:27,216
- and giving it to the <i>Leader!</i>
- He was drunk, Julie. How could I know...
647
00:50:27,290 --> 00:50:29,656
Charlie Barnes never got so drunk
he didn't know a story!
648
00:50:29,726 --> 00:50:33,492
Or that he'd try to peddle
a phony tip to a newspaper! But you...
649
00:50:33,563 --> 00:50:35,394
You couldn't bother listening to him!
650
00:50:35,465 --> 00:50:38,798
You and that newsprint hero of yours,
Mark Chapman.
651
00:50:39,269 --> 00:50:41,032
You couldn't expect us to believe
that Charlie Barnes
652
00:50:41,104 --> 00:50:43,129
had any real information
on the murder, Julie.
653
00:50:43,206 --> 00:50:45,231
We still don't know that he did.
654
00:50:45,308 --> 00:50:49,711
If you and that stone-hearted, glory seeking,
"I am the great Mark Chapman"
655
00:50:49,780 --> 00:50:51,771
had thrown Charlie
the miserable crumb of respect
656
00:50:51,848 --> 00:50:54,510
of just listening to him, he'd be alive today!
657
00:50:54,584 --> 00:50:58,748
Julie, maybe you're right.
Maybe it is partly my fault Charlie's dead.
658
00:50:58,822 --> 00:51:01,882
I'm sorry. Really sorry. But what can I do?
659
00:51:02,392 --> 00:51:06,123
Don't go soft! Show Chapman
you're a chip off the old block.
660
00:51:06,596 --> 00:51:08,655
Have him give Charlie a fancy funeral.
661
00:51:08,732 --> 00:51:11,997
Great headline.
"The <i>Express</i> buries its cast-offs."
662
00:51:12,436 --> 00:51:14,097
It'll sell papers!
663
00:51:27,350 --> 00:51:31,912
Kenny, rewrite that one paragraph, will you?
Allison had a bad night. Yeah.
664
00:51:32,289 --> 00:51:35,087
I just got yesterday's figures
from circulation, Mark.
665
00:51:35,158 --> 00:51:38,491
Six hundred and ninety-six thousand.
You're moving up there.
666
00:51:38,562 --> 00:51:41,292
Looks as though it's going to cost
the <i>Express</i> some bonus money before long.
667
00:51:41,364 --> 00:51:44,765
Quicker than you can say,
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Stockholder Rawley!"
668
00:51:44,835 --> 00:51:46,666
We're only starting,
Mr. Madison, only starting.
669
00:51:46,736 --> 00:51:48,260
That's the spirit!
670
00:51:48,338 --> 00:51:50,272
When you get to the editor's chair,
remember one thing.
671
00:51:50,340 --> 00:51:54,743
You're a hero with a lifetime job,
as long as the circulation is rising.
672
00:51:55,045 --> 00:51:59,379
- What have you got there?
- Something that will keep circulation rising.
673
00:51:59,716 --> 00:52:01,581
Charlie Barnes' story.
674
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:04,378
What are you talking about?
675
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:06,820
Charlie wasn't near the <i>Daily Leader</i>
by accident, Mark.
676
00:52:06,890 --> 00:52:08,790
He had something to print.
677
00:52:08,859 --> 00:52:11,419
I couldn't find it in his effects
at the morgue this morning,
678
00:52:11,495 --> 00:52:15,932
but I found it at Heeney's bar,
the joint Charlie phoned from last night.
679
00:52:16,233 --> 00:52:19,134
Half a pawnshop ticket was still on the bag.
680
00:52:19,236 --> 00:52:21,431
Pete's Hock Shop. I checked it.
681
00:52:21,505 --> 00:52:24,838
Charlie came in the pawnshop last night
with a claim check.
682
00:52:24,908 --> 00:52:27,536
Said he was unhocking it for a friend.
683
00:52:28,478 --> 00:52:31,743
Well, what's in the bag?
Miss Lonely Heart's name and address?
684
00:52:32,916 --> 00:52:36,477
Better than that, Mark.
Much better than that.
685
00:52:38,054 --> 00:52:40,579
A picture of the guy who killed her.
686
00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:52,362
A picture?
You can't even see the guy's face!
687
00:52:52,435 --> 00:52:54,596
What's the matter, Mark?
This is the first real lead we've got.
688
00:52:54,671 --> 00:52:56,263
The way you talked,
I thought we had it all sewed up.
689
00:52:56,339 --> 00:52:59,604
Sure, it's a lead, but it's a thin one.
How much does this give us?
690
00:52:59,676 --> 00:53:04,773
Well, we're certain the dame had a husband.
They were married in 1931 in Connecticut.
691
00:53:05,248 --> 00:53:09,048
- The husband's the guy who killed her.
- How do you make that?
692
00:53:09,419 --> 00:53:11,580
The ring mark on her finger
must have been a wedding ring.
693
00:53:11,655 --> 00:53:14,055
The inscription inside
could have identified him.
694
00:53:14,124 --> 00:53:16,388
And he grabbed the pawn ticket
figuring she'd hocked some belongings
695
00:53:16,459 --> 00:53:18,893
- that might peg him.
- Makes sense.
696
00:53:19,396 --> 00:53:22,194
Charlie got the pawn ticket from the killer.
697
00:53:22,265 --> 00:53:25,701
He must have been with him sometime,
someplace, yesterday.
698
00:53:25,769 --> 00:53:28,329
A lot of people
could have seen them together, right?
699
00:53:28,405 --> 00:53:29,770
Could have.
700
00:53:31,141 --> 00:53:33,609
Splash this picture
on the front page tonight.
701
00:53:33,677 --> 00:53:35,975
Offer a reward for information.
702
00:53:39,149 --> 00:53:41,674
"Lonely Heart Killer strikes again."
703
00:53:43,153 --> 00:53:45,246
When you write the story,
say that Barnes was working on this case
704
00:53:45,322 --> 00:53:46,346
undercover for the <i>Express.</i>
705
00:53:46,423 --> 00:53:49,620
He got too close to the killer
and died in the line of duty.
706
00:53:49,693 --> 00:53:50,887
Mark, I don't know, it...
707
00:53:50,961 --> 00:53:54,863
Nobody can deny it. It'll help sell papers.
We'll offer $1,000.
708
00:53:55,232 --> 00:53:58,360
Look, kid, don't pin your hopes
on anybody being able
709
00:53:58,435 --> 00:54:02,030
to spot the guy from this.
Unless they got x-ray eyes.
710
00:54:02,339 --> 00:54:04,034
I'm sure Charlie connected
the guy in the picture
711
00:54:04,107 --> 00:54:08,601
with the bird who gave him the pawn ticket.
I'm going to fine-tooth the Bowery myself.
712
00:54:08,678 --> 00:54:11,374
It's even money
that's where Charlie ran into our man.
713
00:54:11,448 --> 00:54:12,972
Good luck, kid.
714
00:54:44,314 --> 00:54:47,875
- Well, I got them for you, McCleary.
- Good work, Heeney.
715
00:55:05,368 --> 00:55:09,634
Well, this does it. I'll never touch
another drop the rest of my life.
716
00:55:17,547 --> 00:55:19,515
'Course some of them
been sucking on the bottle all night,
717
00:55:19,582 --> 00:55:21,516
but they can still stand up.
718
00:55:21,584 --> 00:55:24,747
- They all knew Charlie?
- Yeah, they all knew him.
719
00:55:25,088 --> 00:55:29,081
If you give McCleary here
any bum information, I'll brain you.
720
00:55:29,793 --> 00:55:31,818
And I might even do worse.
721
00:55:31,961 --> 00:55:35,522
No more free shots
when you're seeing little red spiders.
722
00:55:35,999 --> 00:55:40,095
How many of you boys saw Charlie Barnes
the day he was killed? Raise your hands.
723
00:55:40,170 --> 00:55:44,197
All right, raise your mitts,
them that seen Charlie day before yesterday.
724
00:55:44,274 --> 00:55:45,366
Good.
725
00:55:48,478 --> 00:55:50,446
- Where did you see him?
- See who?
726
00:55:50,513 --> 00:55:54,279
- This guy must be used to talking to mirrors.
- Charlie Barnes.
727
00:55:54,351 --> 00:55:58,253
I seen him come out of a joint
where he flopped in the morning.
728
00:56:00,824 --> 00:56:02,815
You, where'd you see him?
729
00:56:03,460 --> 00:56:05,826
- Humpty O'Dougal's saloon.
- What time?
730
00:56:05,895 --> 00:56:10,389
In the afternoon. Late in the afternoon.
Charlie had a nice little bun on.
731
00:56:10,934 --> 00:56:11,992
Was he with anybody?
732
00:56:12,068 --> 00:56:14,036
With anybody?
Sure, he was with somebody.
733
00:56:14,104 --> 00:56:16,834
Charlie never drank by himself
if he had a little cash on him.
734
00:56:16,906 --> 00:56:19,966
- Well, do you know the guy he was with?
- Certainly I know who he was with.
735
00:56:20,043 --> 00:56:23,206
- Well, who was it?
- Me. He sprung me three slugs.
736
00:56:29,686 --> 00:56:32,678
When did you see him?
When did you see him?
737
00:56:36,159 --> 00:56:38,491
- This morning.
- Throw him out of here.
738
00:56:38,561 --> 00:56:41,086
- Wait a minute!
- What are you talking about?
739
00:56:41,164 --> 00:56:44,691
- Now, is there any more jokers in the crowd?
- I seen him.
740
00:56:45,735 --> 00:56:49,136
Yeah? Well, go on. Where'd you see him?
741
00:56:51,074 --> 00:56:53,770
On the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
742
00:56:53,843 --> 00:56:57,472
- Go on, go on.
- Nothing. He was working a sucker.
743
00:56:58,014 --> 00:57:01,177
- Giving him the pally act, that's all.
- Now think hard.
744
00:57:01,251 --> 00:57:04,243
Do you remember the sucker?
Do you remember what he looks like?
745
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,754
- Maybe.
- What do you mean, "Maybe"?
746
00:57:06,890 --> 00:57:10,826
- Maybe for 50 bucks.
- Why you...
747
00:57:11,995 --> 00:57:15,362
Do you think you could remember
for 1,000 bucks?
748
00:57:17,267 --> 00:57:19,258
Who could tell who he is?
749
00:57:19,469 --> 00:57:22,461
Can you describe
the man you saw Charlie with?
750
00:57:22,906 --> 00:57:26,273
Do I get $1,000 if I do?
751
00:57:26,443 --> 00:57:28,968
You do. If and when we find the guy.
752
00:57:29,379 --> 00:57:32,212
- Sure, I can describe him.
- Well, go ahead.
753
00:57:34,918 --> 00:57:37,819
- You paying the reward?
- No, but my boss is.
754
00:57:38,655 --> 00:57:41,647
- Then I'll describe it to him.
- Okay. Come on.
755
00:57:41,791 --> 00:57:44,385
Rush this over to the composing room.
756
00:57:44,761 --> 00:57:48,492
Kenny, see if you can figure out
a heading for that rubbish.
757
00:57:48,698 --> 00:57:50,723
Connie! Connie, take this.
758
00:57:58,475 --> 00:57:59,806
Wait here.
759
00:58:13,623 --> 00:58:15,318
Look, Lieutenant,
just refer the captain to me.
760
00:58:15,391 --> 00:58:18,189
I'll tell him he's cropping at the best
homicide man he ever had on the force.
761
00:58:18,261 --> 00:58:20,491
If he doesn't know that,
he's deaf, dumb and blind.
762
00:58:20,563 --> 00:58:22,861
Yeah, never mind the malarkey, Chapman!
763
00:58:22,932 --> 00:58:24,900
The next time
you people pull a stunt like this,
764
00:58:24,968 --> 00:58:27,596
I'll throw both you and McCleary in the can!
765
00:58:28,271 --> 00:58:31,832
Okay, Lieutenant, okay.
I give you my word. Goodbye, pal.
766
00:58:33,042 --> 00:58:35,340
Davis is screaming because we gave him
the suitcase only a half hour
767
00:58:35,411 --> 00:58:36,878
before he read it in the <i>Express.</i>
768
00:58:36,946 --> 00:58:39,437
Well, I've got something
that ought to make him happy again.
769
00:58:39,516 --> 00:58:40,744
Not another suitcase?
770
00:58:40,817 --> 00:58:44,776
A guy who can identify the man
Charlie got the pawn ticket from.
771
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:51,384
Hey, Bailey. Come in here.
772
00:59:00,103 --> 00:59:03,561
He wouldn't describe the guy to me.
He needed the boss.
773
00:59:06,643 --> 00:59:08,304
You the boss?
774
00:59:09,379 --> 00:59:13,611
Yeah, and don't waste my time.
Where'd you see this guy with Charlie?
775
00:59:15,818 --> 00:59:18,446
Down the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
776
00:59:19,956 --> 00:59:22,151
You say you can describe him?
777
00:59:41,844 --> 00:59:44,335
Well, go on. What did he look like?
778
00:59:54,057 --> 00:59:55,786
Stand up, will you?
779
01:00:04,467 --> 01:00:07,766
Yeah, just how I figured.
780
01:00:08,805 --> 01:00:10,432
You figured what?
781
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,272
He was your size,
782
01:00:17,313 --> 01:00:18,678
your build.
783
01:00:19,115 --> 01:00:21,345
Could have been as old as you.
784
01:00:21,951 --> 01:00:26,217
- Is that all?
- All you asked me was to describe him.
785
01:00:26,723 --> 01:00:30,625
That was no description!
That could fit a million guys in this town.
786
01:00:30,693 --> 01:00:34,060
- Even me.
- Well, how about the reward?
787
01:00:34,130 --> 01:00:38,123
Here, take this down to the cashier
and pick yourself up five bucks.
788
01:00:38,201 --> 01:00:41,261
- Show him where it is, Steve.
- Come on, Bailey.
789
01:01:30,186 --> 01:01:31,517
Hey, Baxter, where's Julie?
790
01:01:31,587 --> 01:01:34,078
She came in this morning,
banged this out on her typewriter,
791
01:01:34,157 --> 01:01:36,216
and told me to give it to Chapman.
792
01:01:36,292 --> 01:01:38,385
- What is it?
- Her resignation.
793
01:01:38,461 --> 01:01:42,261
I figured I'd hang onto it a day or so.
Maybe she'd cool off.
794
01:01:42,632 --> 01:01:46,261
I'm sure glad you did.
I'll take care of it for you, okay?
795
01:01:49,238 --> 01:01:50,762
Baxter, thanks.
796
01:02:00,883 --> 01:02:03,647
- Hello, Mrs. Allison.
- Well, hello, Steve. Come in.
797
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,051
Thank you.
798
01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:14,458
I have a pot of coffee in the kitchen.
I'd better see to it.
799
01:02:14,664 --> 01:02:16,564
Can I say a few words to you?
800
01:02:16,632 --> 01:02:19,533
Without getting hit with a table
or something?
801
01:02:19,602 --> 01:02:22,230
Speak your piece and get it over with.
802
01:02:22,338 --> 01:02:25,535
I just got rocked
with a bad piece of news, Julie.
803
01:02:25,742 --> 01:02:28,040
I heard about your resignation.
804
01:02:28,444 --> 01:02:31,845
Well, I can't imagine
why you'd shed any tears over it.
805
01:02:31,914 --> 01:02:33,211
Well, for what it's worth,
806
01:02:33,282 --> 01:02:36,308
your resigning knocks the props
out of a lot of things for me.
807
01:02:37,754 --> 01:02:40,655
That couldn't have come
from Steve McCleary.
808
01:02:41,791 --> 01:02:44,851
Okay, pass it. But I didn't figure
your burn at Chapman and me
809
01:02:44,927 --> 01:02:48,454
would be bigger than your wanting
to do something about Charlie's murder.
810
01:02:49,632 --> 01:02:52,829
Don't start playing me
for a hollow-headed female now, Steve.
811
01:02:52,902 --> 01:02:55,871
Your only interest, and Chapman's,
in Charlie's death is exploiting it
812
01:02:55,938 --> 01:02:59,601
- for all the circulation jumping it's worth!
- Julie, I'm not digging on a story now
813
01:02:59,675 --> 01:03:03,577
just for the school-boy bang of seeing
my name over a sensational yarn.
814
01:03:03,646 --> 01:03:06,672
Yeah, that's right, I had to get hit pretty hard
before I smartened up.
815
01:03:06,749 --> 01:03:09,309
But now I'm leveling
on the Charlie Barnes business.
816
01:03:13,422 --> 01:03:18,257
Well, if I can believe what I'm hearing,
this certainly is a different McCleary.
817
01:03:19,328 --> 01:03:20,955
I've been working night and day.
818
01:03:21,030 --> 01:03:24,227
All I've done is run the local leads
to a dead end.
819
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:29,294
There's only one gimmick left to follow.
This picture, the marriage in Connecticut.
820
01:03:29,472 --> 01:03:33,067
It's odd the person who married them
hasn't recognized it.
821
01:03:33,142 --> 01:03:36,077
Unless he's dead or hasn't seen the picture.
822
01:03:36,579 --> 01:03:40,310
Yeah, I thought of that angle, too.
But it's a million-to-one shot.
823
01:03:40,383 --> 01:03:43,716
A guy would have to be an elephant
to remember a face after 21 years.
824
01:03:44,787 --> 01:03:48,314
Tell him about the elephant we met
on Fifth Avenue, about four years ago.
825
01:03:48,391 --> 01:03:50,791
We were walking along the street when,
right out of the blue,
826
01:03:50,860 --> 01:03:53,021
a complete stranger stopped me.
827
01:03:53,095 --> 01:03:56,656
It turned out to be the little preacher
who married Julie's father and me
828
01:03:56,732 --> 01:03:59,724
in Portland, Maine, 23 years before!
829
01:04:01,404 --> 01:04:06,603
- And he actually was able to recognize you?
- And I'd put on a little weight since then.
830
01:04:07,210 --> 01:04:10,270
They say a New Englander
seldom forgets a face.
831
01:04:10,980 --> 01:04:13,813
Crazy odds, but what can we lose?
832
01:04:15,051 --> 01:04:16,416
Yeah, get this picture
833
01:04:16,485 --> 01:04:19,750
to every churchman, judge
and justice of the peace in Connecticut.
834
01:04:19,822 --> 01:04:24,259
- It's certainly worth trying.
- It's a big job. Compiling lists,
835
01:04:24,527 --> 01:04:26,620
- checking out leads.
- It can be done.
836
01:04:26,696 --> 01:04:28,687
The two of us could handle it, Julie.
837
01:04:29,732 --> 01:04:32,667
Well, I'd like to, Steve, but I've resigned.
838
01:04:32,735 --> 01:04:36,637
And I'd sooner drop dead
than ask Mark Chapman for my job back.
839
01:04:43,312 --> 01:04:45,803
- You dog!
- It never got past Baxter.
840
01:04:46,883 --> 01:04:48,908
A list of churches in each town
is no problem.
841
01:04:48,985 --> 01:04:52,318
The judges and JPs we can get
from the state legal directory in Hartford.
842
01:04:52,388 --> 01:04:54,720
Yeah, you start packing.
Enough for a couple of weeks.
843
01:04:54,790 --> 01:04:56,451
I'm going to the office
and get the lab boys started
844
01:04:56,525 --> 01:04:57,787
on knocking out a few hundred circulars.
845
01:04:57,860 --> 01:05:00,260
But suppose Chapman says no
to my working with you on it?
846
01:05:00,329 --> 01:05:03,492
Why should he? Anyway, I'm not going
to tell him anything until we're ready to go.
847
01:05:03,566 --> 01:05:04,658
Tonight sometime.
848
01:05:04,734 --> 01:05:08,898
Mom, you think it's safe for me to travel
out of state at night with this young man?
849
01:05:08,971 --> 01:05:12,702
Just so he doesn't misconstrue
the meaning of "freedom of the press."
850
01:05:12,775 --> 01:05:16,336
Hey, you wonderful woman.
I'll check with you for dinner.
851
01:05:21,417 --> 01:05:23,544
Steve, this is shot-in-the-dark stuff.
852
01:05:23,619 --> 01:05:26,452
Mark, more rabbit-brained ideas than this
have paid off.
853
01:05:26,522 --> 01:05:28,956
Your hottest lead is right here in town
where the murders were committed.
854
01:05:29,025 --> 01:05:32,290
Yeah, our hottest lead was in town,
but it dried up like a puddle in July.
855
01:05:32,361 --> 01:05:33,589
You're looking for a mental marvel,
856
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:36,154
a guy who can recognize somebody
he'd seen for 15 or 20 minutes
857
01:05:36,232 --> 01:05:38,757
at a wedding ceremony
he performed 21 years ago.
858
01:05:38,834 --> 01:05:41,394
How do we know he only saw them
for 15 or 20 minutes?
859
01:05:41,470 --> 01:05:44,200
Maybe they were members of his church
or were married by a judge
860
01:05:44,273 --> 01:05:46,298
or a justice in their own town.
861
01:05:46,375 --> 01:05:48,605
Steve, you're off
on a needle-in-a-haystack hunt.
862
01:05:48,678 --> 01:05:51,078
You can find a needle in a haystack
if you look long enough.
863
01:05:51,147 --> 01:05:53,775
You don't think I'm gonna let you
hang around up there indefinitely, do you?
864
01:05:53,849 --> 01:05:55,680
You won't have to. A week, probably.
865
01:05:55,751 --> 01:05:58,982
Julie Allison's coming along to help me.
It's all arranged.
866
01:05:59,055 --> 01:06:02,456
It's all arranged. And that five grand reward.
You arranged that, too?
867
01:06:02,525 --> 01:06:06,586
No, you did, or will.
Mark, what's eating you?
868
01:06:07,096 --> 01:06:09,257
I'm only checking out every possible angle.
869
01:06:09,332 --> 01:06:11,061
Kid, I don't want you to beat your brains out.
870
01:06:11,133 --> 01:06:13,033
We can get just so much
out of this Lonely Hearts story,
871
01:06:13,102 --> 01:06:16,128
and then we'll start easing it off
and let it die a natural death.
872
01:06:16,205 --> 01:06:19,368
Let it die? Mark, we let Charlie Barnes die!
873
01:06:20,509 --> 01:06:22,909
The least we can do now is to find his killer.
874
01:06:23,679 --> 01:06:26,443
You're the guy who pounded into me,
"Never give up till you've got the story."
875
01:06:26,515 --> 01:06:28,449
Well, I'm not quitting on this one
until I've licked it.
876
01:06:28,517 --> 01:06:30,985
You can reach me
at the Lenox Hotel in Hartford.
877
01:06:56,579 --> 01:06:57,978
Long distance.
878
01:06:58,047 --> 01:06:59,844
I want some information.
879
01:06:59,915 --> 01:07:01,906
A telephone number
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
880
01:07:01,984 --> 01:07:05,181
The name is Hacker. He's a judge.
I don't remember his first name.
881
01:07:05,254 --> 01:07:07,222
You wish to place a call to this party?
882
01:07:07,289 --> 01:07:10,383
No, no. Not yet, that is.
I just want to get his telephone number.
883
01:07:10,459 --> 01:07:12,188
<i>One moment, please.</i>
884
01:07:16,799 --> 01:07:20,235
Hello? The Middlebury operator
has no listing for anyone by that name.
885
01:07:21,037 --> 01:07:22,436
There isn't?
886
01:07:23,305 --> 01:07:25,296
Middlebury's a small town.
Will you ask the operator
887
01:07:25,374 --> 01:07:26,966
if she knows anything
about Judge Hacker at all?
888
01:07:27,043 --> 01:07:29,273
Is he deceased, moved away, or what?
889
01:07:29,345 --> 01:07:31,074
<i>One moment, please.</i>
890
01:07:35,518 --> 01:07:38,510
Hello? The local operator
has been in Middlebury for five years
891
01:07:38,587 --> 01:07:40,646
and knows no one
by the name of Judge Hacker.
892
01:07:40,723 --> 01:07:42,384
That's all the information she can give us.
893
01:07:43,959 --> 01:07:45,153
Thanks.
894
01:08:32,908 --> 01:08:35,308
No, Reverend,
I'm afraid that's not our couple.
895
01:08:36,412 --> 01:08:39,040
You may be positive, Reverend,
but you're mistaken.
896
01:08:39,115 --> 01:08:41,515
The woman in the photo we sent you
is dead.
897
01:08:41,584 --> 01:08:43,916
Thank you for calling, Reverend.
898
01:08:46,288 --> 01:08:48,153
You don't have to tell me.
899
01:08:48,224 --> 01:08:50,852
It's written all over
your bright and shining face.
900
01:08:50,926 --> 01:08:53,759
A 190-mile drive
to have a whack-head tell me
901
01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:56,423
that both the people in our circular
died a year ago.
902
01:08:57,766 --> 01:09:01,896
New Englanders remember, all right.
Every face is familiar to them.
903
01:09:04,406 --> 01:09:07,671
Hello? Just a minute, here's Steve.
904
01:09:08,110 --> 01:09:10,340
It's that man again. Every day.
905
01:09:10,412 --> 01:09:13,313
Does he think we'll keep it a big fat secret
if we find something?
906
01:09:15,284 --> 01:09:16,649
Yeah, Mark.
907
01:09:18,487 --> 01:09:20,819
Nothing but an aching back
and some interesting meetings
908
01:09:20,890 --> 01:09:22,824
with jelly-brained screwballs.
909
01:09:22,892 --> 01:09:26,555
You've had enough time, Steve. Ten days.
Admit it's a dud. Come on home.
910
01:09:26,629 --> 01:09:29,325
Two more days, Mark.
We'll stick it out to the end of the week.
911
01:09:29,899 --> 01:09:33,391
Get out of the haystack. It's easier
to find the needles at the scene of the crime.
912
01:09:33,469 --> 01:09:34,936
I'll see you.
913
01:09:35,771 --> 01:09:39,832
Two more days. I don't even know myself
why we're sticking around.
914
01:09:41,043 --> 01:09:42,772
Anything there that sounds good?
915
01:09:44,180 --> 01:09:47,946
I'll read you a fair sample.
From a J.P. Waterbury.
916
01:09:49,084 --> 01:09:52,451
"Send me $5,000
and I will tell you names of people."
917
01:09:52,655 --> 01:09:54,646
A new head I'll send him.
918
01:09:55,658 --> 01:09:58,320
I've got a headache.
I think I'll lie down for a while.
919
01:09:59,728 --> 01:10:01,855
Why don't you lie down here?
920
01:10:07,269 --> 01:10:08,998
I'll go to my room.
921
01:10:15,344 --> 01:10:17,744
McCleary. Okay, put him on.
922
01:10:18,681 --> 01:10:20,808
A guy calling from Franklin.
923
01:10:21,283 --> 01:10:23,308
Hello? Yeah, that's right.
924
01:10:25,955 --> 01:10:27,149
You do, huh?
925
01:10:29,258 --> 01:10:31,590
- You've got what?
- What is it?
926
01:10:31,827 --> 01:10:35,456
- Just a minute.
- I have the other picture right before me!
927
01:10:35,864 --> 01:10:41,131
Yes, I married them July 19th, 1931,
over in Middlebury.
928
01:10:42,438 --> 01:10:44,702
A funny thing. What's that?
929
01:10:48,143 --> 01:10:49,872
Judge Elroy Hacker.
930
01:10:50,379 --> 01:10:52,404
We'll be there in two hours, Judge.
931
01:10:52,481 --> 01:10:54,244
Sit tight
and keep your mouth shut about this.
932
01:10:54,316 --> 01:10:55,374
Bye.
933
01:10:55,584 --> 01:10:59,247
Go on, get packed.
He's liable to drop dead on us or something.
934
01:11:55,110 --> 01:11:58,102
For a man who can sit there
and watch his success increasing daily,
935
01:11:58,180 --> 01:12:00,011
you're looking much too troubled, Mark.
936
01:12:00,082 --> 01:12:03,210
It's just that these minor problems
always seem to require major thinking.
937
01:12:03,285 --> 01:12:06,379
Well, perhaps we can balance
the unpleasant with the pleasant.
938
01:12:06,455 --> 01:12:09,390
That conversation we had the other day
about your buying company stock.
939
01:12:09,458 --> 01:12:10,823
- Yeah?
- I just thought I'd tell you,
940
01:12:10,893 --> 01:12:14,920
- I think we can swing that.
- That's fine, Mr. Madison, just great.
941
01:12:14,997 --> 01:12:17,659
Well, there doesn't seem to be any doubt
you'll reach that bonus figure.
942
01:12:17,733 --> 01:12:19,064
It'll be pleasant having you as a partner,
943
01:12:19,134 --> 01:12:20,863
- so to speak, in the paper, Mark.
- Thanks.
944
01:12:20,936 --> 01:12:22,801
- Good night.
- Good night.
945
01:14:17,953 --> 01:14:19,147
Sorry to keep you this late, Mark,
946
01:14:19,221 --> 01:14:21,621
but we got hit with a mess of traffic
on the way in.
947
01:14:21,690 --> 01:14:23,157
Your wire sounded important.
948
01:14:23,225 --> 01:14:26,456
I found that needle,
or rather the man with the needle.
949
01:14:26,528 --> 01:14:29,725
Judge Elroy Hacker,
Mark Chapman, Managing Editor.
950
01:14:29,865 --> 01:14:32,925
- Glad to meet you, Judge.
- How do, Mr. Chapman?
951
01:14:33,902 --> 01:14:35,893
- Sit down, Judge.
- Thanks.
952
01:14:36,772 --> 01:14:38,672
Does the judge's needle sew anything up?
953
01:14:38,740 --> 01:14:41,231
Everything but knotting the thread
at the end.
954
01:14:41,310 --> 01:14:42,937
I mean the noose.
955
01:14:44,046 --> 01:14:45,240
What have you got?
956
01:14:45,314 --> 01:14:48,511
The identity of Mrs. Lonely Heart
and her husband.
957
01:14:49,117 --> 01:14:51,711
Judge Hacker married them
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
958
01:14:51,787 --> 01:14:54,688
Their names are Charlotte and George Grant.
959
01:14:58,827 --> 01:14:59,953
Did you get that, Mark?
960
01:15:00,028 --> 01:15:03,327
The name of the Lonely Heart Killer
is George Grant.
961
01:15:03,699 --> 01:15:05,530
Yeah, I heard you. Go on.
962
01:15:05,601 --> 01:15:08,229
Strike two. The judge is sure
he can identify George Grant
963
01:15:08,303 --> 01:15:10,203
when he sees him again.
964
01:15:10,806 --> 01:15:13,969
You see, I took this picture myself.
965
01:15:14,710 --> 01:15:17,338
A little extra service
the judge gave his bridal couples.
966
01:15:17,412 --> 01:15:20,711
Yes. I'd send them a print
and put one in my own scrapbook.
967
01:15:20,782 --> 01:15:22,579
The judge even furnished
the "just married" sign.
968
01:15:22,651 --> 01:15:24,118
Judge, you said
you married them in Middlebury,
969
01:15:24,186 --> 01:15:27,883
- but Steve found you in Franklin.
- I retired seven years ago.
970
01:15:27,956 --> 01:15:31,323
I'm partial to fishing,
so I moved over on the coast.
971
01:15:32,027 --> 01:15:34,928
I only happened
to see your circular by chance,
972
01:15:34,997 --> 01:15:37,830
in the office of a justice friend of mine.
973
01:15:40,602 --> 01:15:43,571
I always said you were born
in a field of shamrocks.
974
01:15:43,639 --> 01:15:47,769
Sure. The McClearys raised their kids
on nothing but rabbits' feet.
975
01:15:48,410 --> 01:15:52,471
Judge, what makes you so sure
you can identify George Grant today?
976
01:15:54,383 --> 01:15:57,250
Well, mainly because right after
I took that wedding picture,
977
01:15:57,319 --> 01:16:00,482
this Grant got vexed at his wife
about something.
978
01:16:01,590 --> 01:16:05,651
I can remember his voice, snapping at her.
His face getting red...
979
01:16:07,696 --> 01:16:11,598
I know what's in your bonnet, Mark.
We still have to find George Grant.
980
01:16:11,667 --> 01:16:14,363
A needle's nothing but a hunk of steel
if you've got nothing to sew.
981
01:16:14,436 --> 01:16:15,801
We just need the thread.
982
01:16:15,871 --> 01:16:18,203
I figure we'll pick that up
right here in New York.
983
01:16:18,273 --> 01:16:21,367
When the police line up all the local
George Grants for the judge to look over.
984
01:16:23,745 --> 01:16:27,416
That's Julie. I dropped her off
at headquarters to tell Davis what we've got.
985
01:16:29,251 --> 01:16:32,618
Friend Davis is steaming
like a pressure cooker, as I said he would.
986
01:16:32,688 --> 01:16:33,746
He'll simmer down.
987
01:16:33,822 --> 01:16:36,484
So will your
lining up the George Grants idea.
988
01:16:36,558 --> 01:16:40,255
Davis says he'll do nothing until you turn
Judge Hacker over to the police.
989
01:16:40,329 --> 01:16:42,763
- Steve, you can't hold...
- Relax, doll. He'll see the judge later.
990
01:16:42,831 --> 01:16:44,924
Not tonight he won't.
The judge is our exclusive beat.
991
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,230
Nobody gets to him
till our story breaks tomorrow.
992
01:16:47,302 --> 01:16:49,031
I don't trust cops.
993
01:16:51,607 --> 01:16:52,904
You and Julie start writing the story.
994
01:16:52,975 --> 01:16:56,308
I'll put the judge in a side-street hotel
where nobody will get to him.
995
01:16:56,378 --> 01:16:57,902
Come on, Judge.
996
01:17:01,316 --> 01:17:03,648
I'll just wait for Mr. McCleary.
997
01:17:04,987 --> 01:17:06,921
He was going to put me up at his place.
998
01:17:06,989 --> 01:17:08,581
That's the first place
the wolves will start baying.
999
01:17:08,657 --> 01:17:10,921
You better come with me, Judge.
1000
01:17:10,993 --> 01:17:15,157
No, I don't think it would be wise
for me to go with you, Mr. Grant.
1001
01:17:15,731 --> 01:17:18,325
- Mister...
- Chapman, Judge. Not Grant.
1002
01:17:18,734 --> 01:17:21,294
You'd better give your brain a rest.
You're gonna need it.
1003
01:17:21,370 --> 01:17:22,735
He may be Chapman now,
1004
01:17:22,804 --> 01:17:27,104
but 21 years ago, when I married them,
he was George Grant.
1005
01:17:27,509 --> 01:17:29,534
And he was a newspaperman.
1006
01:17:30,379 --> 01:17:34,145
I remember now. He said he worked
on the paper over in Waterford.
1007
01:17:34,216 --> 01:17:37,549
Waterford, Connecticut, was that town
I couldn't think of.
1008
01:17:37,619 --> 01:17:40,110
But I knew I'd remember that voice.
1009
01:17:40,422 --> 01:17:44,586
His face... You've changed.
But it's the same man.
1010
01:17:45,060 --> 01:17:48,086
You remember that $5,000 reward, though,
don't you, Judge?
1011
01:17:48,163 --> 01:17:51,428
Judge. This is impossible.
You're getting confused.
1012
01:17:51,633 --> 01:17:54,864
He sounds to me as though
he knows exactly what he's saying.
1013
01:17:54,936 --> 01:17:57,837
This is idiotic!
Screwball, crackbrained lunacy!
1014
01:17:57,906 --> 01:18:01,364
And that's just the kind of a witness
the judge is going to make, too, Steve.
1015
01:18:01,443 --> 01:18:03,240
The police have that specimen
of hair and flesh
1016
01:18:03,311 --> 01:18:05,905
found under Mrs. Grant's fingernails.
1017
01:18:06,348 --> 01:18:09,283
I think we'd better get in touch with Davis.
1018
01:18:09,551 --> 01:18:11,212
No phone, Allison.
1019
01:18:21,797 --> 01:18:26,359
Julie pegged you right off.
But me, still wet behind the ears McCleary.
1020
01:18:27,235 --> 01:18:29,328
I went for the sleigh ride.
1021
01:18:29,971 --> 01:18:35,409
I practically built the pedestal for Chapman.
The great newspaperman. The great guy.
1022
01:18:36,778 --> 01:18:41,545
There ought to be a special Pulitzer Prize
for the world's biggest sucker, McCleary.
1023
01:18:41,616 --> 01:18:44,141
Just another one of your stupid slobs!
1024
01:18:44,219 --> 01:18:45,948
Things happen, Steve,
and then there's just no end.
1025
01:18:46,021 --> 01:18:47,921
Killing my wife was an accident.
1026
01:18:47,989 --> 01:18:51,823
And Charlie. Charlie Barnes,
who never hurt a fly in his life.
1027
01:18:52,294 --> 01:18:54,057
A washed-up drunken rummy
who had nothing to live for
1028
01:18:54,129 --> 01:18:55,790
against a career
that was just reaching its prime.
1029
01:18:55,864 --> 01:18:59,322
- It wasn't an even exchange.
- You've got a great career ahead of you now.
1030
01:18:59,401 --> 01:19:02,302
That's all down the drain.
I gotta to make different plans now.
1031
01:19:02,370 --> 01:19:04,736
You should have started running
when you got my wire, sucker!
1032
01:19:04,806 --> 01:19:06,501
I gambled.
The stakes are big enough, you don't run
1033
01:19:06,575 --> 01:19:10,443
unless there's nothing else left to do.
Don't try it, kid.
1034
01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:30,190
Steve!
1035
01:19:50,986 --> 01:19:53,011
We're just too close, kid.
1036
01:19:57,292 --> 01:20:02,059
I figured I'd find you birds here.
Still playing me for a pushover, aren't you?
1037
01:20:04,032 --> 01:20:06,227
Steve, you remember how I told you
1038
01:20:06,301 --> 01:20:09,464
that someday you'd run into
a really great story?
1039
01:20:09,905 --> 01:20:11,736
Well, this one ought to do it, huh?
1040
01:20:12,474 --> 01:20:14,374
Yeah, this one will do.
1041
01:20:14,976 --> 01:20:16,603
I'll give you the lead on it.
1042
01:20:17,846 --> 01:20:18,972
"The elusive Lonely Heart Killer,
1043
01:20:19,047 --> 01:20:20,708

1044
01:20:20,782 --> 01:20:23,774

1045
01:20:25,387 --> 01:20:27,321
"He was apprehended

1046
01:20:27,389 --> 01:20:30,449
"who learned his trade

1047
01:20:31,259 --> 01:20:32,920

01:20:32,994 --> 01:20:35,827
"Managing Editor of the <i>New York Express."</i>
1049
01:20:37,766 --> 01:20:42,601
- Write it up big, kid. It'll sell a lot of papers.
- All right, drop it, Chapman.

Mark Chapman, editor of the New York Express, has made the newspaper a success by pursuing sensationalism and yellow journalism. His protégé is ace reporter Steve McCleary, while successful feature writer Julie Allison is frustrated by the paper's drift towards raking the muck. One night, during a lonely hearts dance organized by the Express, Chapman's estranged wife confronts him and demands that he visit her hotel room. It is revealed that Chapman's real name is George Grant, and he abandoned his wife decades earlier, changing his identity. When Chapman rebuffs her efforts toward reconciliation, she threatens to publicize his real identity. Chapman tries to restrain her, accidentally killing her in the scuffle.
Chapman attempts to cover up his crime, posing the scene to look like an accident. The police initially believe she slipped in the bathtub, but McCleary begins covering the case, and his reporting reveals it was a murder. McCleary is eager to run the story, and Chapman must acquiesce to avoid suspicion. The "mystery" murderer is dubbed the "Lonely Hearts Killer." Charlie Barnes, an alcoholic former star reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner, stumbles upon the dead woman's suitcase, in which he finds wedding photographs showing Chapman (then Grant) and his wife. He realizes that Chapman must be the killer. Barnes contacts Allison, who has been kind to him, attempting to give her the scoop, but Chapman overhears the conversation. He intercepts and kills Barnes before he can reveal the truth to a rival publication. This act only increases public interest in the story of the Lonely Hearts Killer, much to Chapman's frustration.
Assisted by Allison, McCleary continues to track down clues and leads. Eventually he locates another photo from Chapman/Grant's wedding, although the groom is shot in profile and it is not obvious that it is Chapman. McCleary and Allison travel to Connecticut to find the judge who married the murdered woman and the man in the photograph. After a week of searching, they identify the judge who conducted the marriage. They bring him back to the newspaper building, where he identifies Chapman as the groom and thus the Lonely Hearts Killer. McCleary is incredulous, but Allison puts the pieces together and the desperate Chapman pulls a gun on them. The police arrive, and Chapman cannot bring himself to shoot McCleary. Instead, he gives McCleary his blessing to publish all details of his crimes and then commits suicide by cop.

1
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,468
I know how you feel, lady.
2
00:01:52,545 --> 00:01:54,445
Just take your time
and tell me what happened.
3
00:01:54,514 --> 00:01:57,915
He had this meat ax, her blood all over it.
4
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:03,187
My brother-in-law had it.
Blood all over his hands, all over his shirt.
5
00:02:03,389 --> 00:02:05,687
I can't talk about it, Officer.
6
00:02:05,859 --> 00:02:08,851
I know it's rough, lady,
but I have to have the facts.
7
00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:14,298
He comes staggering out in the hall.
He says, "I did it. Call the cops."
8
00:02:15,101 --> 00:02:16,125
And then he...
9
00:02:16,202 --> 00:02:19,467
Snap it up, Captain.
Lieutenant Davis just blew in.
10
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,303
What's he going to do, Officer?
11
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:25,003
- I'm not a cop, lady.
- But you said...
12
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:27,610
All I said was,
"I had to ask you some questions."
13
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,079
I'm from the <i>Express.</i>
14
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:33,984
You made me go through all that.
Why, you're not decent! You're not human!
15
00:02:34,754 --> 00:02:38,121
- Sorry, lady. All part of the job.
- Well, well, Lieutenant Davis.
16
00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:42,252
- Say, this must have been a homicide.
- Hi, Lieutenant. Wait till you hear it.
17
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:45,092
- A messy one.
- You keep pulling stuff like this, McCleary,
18
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:50,193
and so help me, if it's the last thing I do,
I'll run you in! Now, that's a warning!
19
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:18,591
This is KL-75263. Get me Plaza-52099.
20
00:03:19,532 --> 00:03:24,401
You know, that wasn't a bad-Iooking dame.
Too bad the guy used an ax on her head.
21
00:03:25,271 --> 00:03:27,796
Spoiled some pretty pictures for me.
22
00:03:28,908 --> 00:03:31,877
Hey, Mark, have you put on the gloves
with those stockholders yet?
23
00:03:32,178 --> 00:03:34,203
Hi. No, I'm just taping up my hands.
24
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,976
<i>Well, you can tell them we got</i>
<i>another neat and gory one coming up.</i>
25
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:39,177
<i>Hatchet murder. Lower East Side tenement.</i>
26
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:41,652
<i>Wrapped up an exclusive interview</i>
<i>with an eyewitness.</i>
27
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:43,211
You got plenty of art?
28
00:03:43,289 --> 00:03:45,052
Yeah. Biddle grabbed all he could
of the body.
29
00:03:45,124 --> 00:03:49,185
A dame, very messy.
Got a great hysterical close-up of her sister.
30
00:03:49,529 --> 00:03:52,828
I'll even write the caption for you.
"I seen him with a bloody meat ax."
31
00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:54,592
Good. With that, I can sell papers.
32
00:03:54,667 --> 00:03:57,295
Give it to rewrite and we'll get it in the final.
Hold on. What do you want?
33
00:03:57,370 --> 00:04:00,237
Mr. Madison called down
from the boardroom again, Mr. Chapman.
34
00:04:00,306 --> 00:04:02,831
You hear that?
I'm letting them stew in their financial juices.
35
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:05,067
Well, don't overdo it. I like this job.
36
00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:08,273
You've never gone backwards
with me before, have you, kid?
37
00:04:08,348 --> 00:04:13,217
If we leave here, we'll bounce into
a bigger setup. I'll see you when you get in.
38
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:21,417
As one of the largest stockholders
in this corporation,
39
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:24,463
I would like to know
why the <i>New York Express,</i>
40
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:27,465
once a distinguished
and respected newspaper,
41
00:04:29,869 --> 00:04:33,600
has been allowed to become
a cheap and depraved publication.
42
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:38,835
Why has an editor been allowed
to turn a decent journal into this?
43
00:04:39,679 --> 00:04:41,613
A disgusting tabloid!
44
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,749
Pandering to the passions
of the base morons!
45
00:04:45,151 --> 00:04:47,847
I demand an explanation, Frank Madison.
46
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:54,750
Well, Mrs. Rawley, I...
In defense of Mark Chapman, I...
47
00:04:54,827 --> 00:04:58,263
Mr. Madison, I'd like to handle
my own defense, if you don't mind.
48
00:04:58,331 --> 00:04:59,855
Just as you say, Mark.
49
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:05,428
Mrs. Rawley, I think you
and the other stockholders should know
50
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:07,496
that your publisher hired me
as executive editor
51
00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:09,837
with full rights to transform this newspaper.
52
00:05:10,677 --> 00:05:14,443
He did this for a very simple reason.
He was fed up with operating at a loss.
53
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:18,611
Why did Mr. Madison hire me?
Well, he felt it was time that the <i>Express</i>
54
00:05:18,685 --> 00:05:21,745
buried its antiquated negative approach,
such as this.
55
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:25,756
But who won?
56
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:29,920
And become a positive newspaper.
We're in a business, ladies and gentlemen,
57
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:34,695
a business of satisfying the hunger
of the public for thrills, escape and news.
58
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:39,271
Here's where I took over
your highly respectable white elephant.
59
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:42,172
Instead of headlining a UN story,
we gave them a vice story.
60
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:44,368
Obviously, they went for it.
61
00:05:44,544 --> 00:05:46,239
We played down
the presidential appointments
62
00:05:46,312 --> 00:05:48,644
and concentrated
on the "Gorilla Man" killings.
63
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:51,576
Here's what happened.
Thirty or forty thousand new readers.
64
00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:54,245
Why, in a year, circulation's up over 110%.
65
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,686
And when we reach 750,000,
66
00:05:56,756 --> 00:06:00,886
we'll have to pay you a big bonus.
I'm not sure I like this at all.
67
00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:02,761
Did you like the dividend check
you got last month
68
00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:04,194
for the first time in 12 years?
69
00:06:04,263 --> 00:06:07,323
I don't like this, sir.
What kind of journalism is this?
70
00:06:07,967 --> 00:06:10,026
A newspaper
staging a cheap, vulgar display
71
00:06:10,103 --> 00:06:13,266
in order to attract
the stupid slobs of the city!
72
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,865
The thousands who will attend
the Lonely Heart dance tonight,
73
00:06:15,942 --> 00:06:18,467
these poor, friendly, unhappy people
whom you call stupid slobs,
74
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:20,569
buy and read this newspaper.
75
00:06:20,646 --> 00:06:22,944
Their loyalty helped put that dividend check
in your pocket.
76
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:26,712
And I suppose you think it's a public service
when one of your reporters is arrested
77
00:06:26,786 --> 00:06:30,745
for withholding information from the police?
Or whatever it was.
78
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:34,150
This, what's his name, McCleary person,
79
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,352
and the things he writes about!
I think he should be fired!
80
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:39,295
This McCleary person
is the best young reporter I've seen
81
00:06:39,365 --> 00:06:41,060
in 25 years of newspapering.
82
00:06:41,134 --> 00:06:43,193
Before I'll fire him,
I'll throw the <i>Express</i> up for grabs
83
00:06:43,269 --> 00:06:45,669
and go to work for somebody
who appreciates real talent on a paper!
84
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:47,262
- Mark, I'm sure...
- One last thing.
85
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:50,798
The only contract I have here is a handshake
between Mr. Madison and myself.
86
00:06:50,877 --> 00:06:53,141
Now, unless you give me full rights
to run this paper the way I want,
87
00:06:53,212 --> 00:06:55,271
I'll quit after the final edition today.
88
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:58,784
Now, I'm sorry I can't stay with you
any longer. I have a newspaper to get out!
89
00:07:06,092 --> 00:07:10,426
- Your story ready, Miss Allison?
- I'll have the rest in a minute, Joey.
90
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:13,831
Mr. Chapman?
91
00:07:16,502 --> 00:07:17,696
Thanks.
92
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:26,937
McCleary story in yet, Bax?
93
00:07:32,485 --> 00:07:34,885
How'd you make out in the torture chamber?
94
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:40,450
This is good. Give it a big play.
Mac'll do a byline follow-up tomorrow.
95
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:43,825
- What are these?
- Pics for that Lonely Heart spread.
96
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:45,820
- Junk them.
- But I...
97
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:47,092
Take Peters off the Lonely Hearts.
98
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:48,997
He's photographing these slobs
like a lineup in a soup kitchen
99
00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:50,660
instead of panting for a red-hot romance.
100
00:07:50,736 --> 00:07:52,533
- Okay. But I...
- Yeah?
101
00:07:52,939 --> 00:07:54,566
Yes, Mr. Madison.
102
00:07:58,211 --> 00:08:00,611
- Get an ax, smear it with blood.
- Yeah? Whose?
103
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,171
Yours. If you can't spare any,
use chocolate syrup or something.
104
00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:07,652
Chocolate? Goody! When I'm through,
I can make a plate of fudge. Drop in.
105
00:08:08,721 --> 00:08:12,157
So, you still insist a woman having 20 kids
is worth a feature article?
106
00:08:12,225 --> 00:08:15,422
Hi, genius.
I think it's worth a whole front page.
107
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:18,391
It scares me, this maternal instinct of yours.
108
00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:20,955
Decided where you're taking me
to dinner tonight?
109
00:08:23,736 --> 00:08:25,966
If Chapman hasn't been canned,
110
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,169
you're going to dine with the worst loser
who ever paid off a bet.
111
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:31,608
Then you'd better stash some
bicarbonate soda in your bag, princess.
112
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:32,837
You're gonna need it.
113
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:35,437
Don't count your steaks
before you hear the sizzle.
114
00:08:37,617 --> 00:08:39,608
Well, what's the word? Are you ex or still?
115
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,880
They're not dumb enough
to throw out a winner.
116
00:08:41,954 --> 00:08:44,650
Congratulations. I knew you'd stick
their stocks right back in their teeth.
117
00:08:44,724 --> 00:08:46,555
I told them if they fired me,
McCleary would quit, too,
118
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:49,060
and then they'd be in real trouble.
119
00:08:49,128 --> 00:08:50,527
I wouldn't put it past them
to try and dump you
120
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:53,929
to get out of paying the bonus that's
staring them right in their glassy eyes.
121
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,331
I've got news for you.
122
00:08:55,401 --> 00:08:57,528
I'm going to cut you in
for a piece of that bonus.
123
00:08:57,603 --> 00:08:59,298
What do you want me to do, retire?
124
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:00,566
I thought we could make a deal with Madison
125
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,698
to buy some of the company's stock.
126
00:09:01,774 --> 00:09:03,901
You know, kid,
we could end up owning this newspaper.
127
00:09:03,976 --> 00:09:06,536
- Well, that's the best offer I've had all week.
- I'll make you another one.
128
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:09,080
I'll take you to dinner tonight.
You pick the spot.
129
00:09:10,349 --> 00:09:14,012
I'll make you a better offer.
My date's buying. She lost a bet.
130
00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:17,544
The Grand Duchess from Vassar again?
The way I feel, I can put up with anything.
131
00:09:17,623 --> 00:09:19,818
- I'm more worried, can she put up with you?
- Get her ready.
132
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:24,124
We've got to be at the ballroom at 8:00.
There's no time for nose powder.
133
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:32,597
Don't break your ears with that grin.
I can see. He's still in.
134
00:09:33,005 --> 00:09:36,532
- No loud whoops of joy, baby?
- Well, I tried everything.
135
00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:39,770
I crossed my fingers,
said prayers, burned candles.
136
00:09:39,845 --> 00:09:43,713
- Who's your tailor, princess?
- Let's get out of here.
137
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,075
I've had to look at that Chapman face all day.
138
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:50,714
I've got to cover his fiasco tonight
and suffer some more.
139
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:53,987
At least just looking at you for an hour
will be a welcome change.
140
00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:57,496
- Lf you're taking me to dinner, let's go.
- Taking him?
141
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,195
Wait a minute.
Our bet was between you and me.
142
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:03,463
Our bet was loser buys dinner.
We didn't say for how many.
143
00:10:03,536 --> 00:10:06,994
- Why, you double-crossing...
- I knew you'd be a good loser.
144
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:10,807
Someday remind me to tell you about girls.
145
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:20,248
You talk a couple of these suckers
into getting married.
146
00:10:20,319 --> 00:10:21,581
These Lonely Heart slobs got the gimmies,
147
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:23,519
and we've got plenty to give them
from the advertisers.
148
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:25,284
If you talk one couple
into getting married by 9:00,
149
00:10:25,358 --> 00:10:27,883
by 12:00 we'll have a dozen lined up
for wedded bliss.
150
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,155
- McCleary, the Brooklyn cupid.
- McCleary, the human yes man.
151
00:10:30,229 --> 00:10:31,594
Hey, Julie!
152
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:34,155
- Hello, Charlie.
- Charlie.
153
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:38,225
- How are you, Barnes?
- Fine, Mark. You're looking fit. McCleary.
154
00:10:38,571 --> 00:10:39,595
Thank you.
155
00:10:39,672 --> 00:10:41,799
What goes on? Are you ghosting
Allison's features, Charlie?
156
00:10:41,874 --> 00:10:43,774
No, he's helping me with research
for that series
157
00:10:43,843 --> 00:10:45,640
on historical monuments in New York.
158
00:10:45,711 --> 00:10:47,872
You couldn't pick a better man.
I ought to know.
159
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:50,006
Remember those old days, Mark?
160
00:10:50,082 --> 00:10:53,813
Like the time I cut the phone cables
at the Lindbergh trial?
161
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:55,520
You scooped me. Almost cost me my job.
162
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:59,957
Scooped you, the wire services,
scooped everybody. That was the year...
163
00:11:00,026 --> 00:11:02,358
That was the year you won the Pulitzer Prize.
164
00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:06,826
Listen, Mark.
This stuff I've been doing for Julie, it's...
165
00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:13,200
- Mark, I think I'm ready to go back to work.
- That's fine. I'm glad to hear it, Charlie.
166
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,164
How about it, Mark? How about a job?
167
00:11:19,645 --> 00:11:21,510
- Why not?
- Thanks.
168
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:25,447
- Charlie, I'm so proud of you!
- This is gonna take a little juggling.
169
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:26,849
I won't be able to do anything right away.
170
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:28,978
Look, Charlie, I'll call you.
We're late, we gotta rush.
171
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:31,785
Sure, Mark, I know how it is,
always on the go.
172
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:35,258
- Coffee in the morning? Skinners?
- Sure thing, Julie.
173
00:11:40,199 --> 00:11:41,257
All the time I thought you were a...
174
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:43,699
- How much did you give him?
- $10. He earned it.
175
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:44,929
Ten bucks?
176
00:11:45,004 --> 00:11:47,336
- Buy a lot of whiskey.
- Did you see that rum-dumb?
177
00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:49,806
- Come midnight, he'll be in the gutter.
- Now, wait a minute.
178
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:51,274
He's an alky, Julie.
You shouldn't give an alky
179
00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:52,367
more than a buck at a time.
180
00:11:52,445 --> 00:11:55,414
You're liable to kill him.
Ten bucks, he can take a bath in it.
181
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:58,314
But... Well, this job
will change everything for him.
182
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:01,319
Job? I wouldn't have him in my office,
let alone on my staff.
183
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:04,117
In you go, sucker. Where are you going?
184
00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:07,085
I'm not going to let him go off believing this.
185
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:10,617
- Do you want to break his heart?
- Do I? What do you think you're doing?
186
00:12:10,696 --> 00:12:13,358
I'm giving him hopes and dreams.
A rummy like that lives on dreams.
187
00:12:13,432 --> 00:12:17,061
- He's happy. Why spoil it?
- Happy? Happy like your Lonely Hearts,
188
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,798
looking forward to those big romances
they've been promised?
189
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:23,069
- Only Charlie's romance is with a bottle.
- Get in.
190
00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:48,057
Biddle, don't leave that camera at half mast.
Stop goldbricking on the other guys.
191
00:12:48,134 --> 00:12:52,127
I must have got 100 shots already,
Mr. Chapman. My arm's giving out.
192
00:12:52,204 --> 00:12:56,334
You've only started. I want shots of people
from every state. Now start shooting.
193
00:12:58,911 --> 00:13:01,038
How are you doing, princess?
194
00:13:01,147 --> 00:13:04,116
Well, it's an effort,
but I'm trying to keep from screaming.
195
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:06,981
You were a real bundle of laughs
during dinner, too.
196
00:13:07,052 --> 00:13:08,781
Why don't you simmer down now?
197
00:13:08,854 --> 00:13:10,515
You're not so pretty
when your feathers are all ruffled.
198
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:13,183
Don't, Steve. I'm in no mood for levity.
199
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:17,491
- Do you feel like dancing?
- Do you figure that'll smooth my feathers?
200
00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:21,691
I've got a great idea for you. Grab yourself
one of these Lonely Heart boys.
201
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:25,066
Tell him you're a club date. Con him.
Get his life history.
202
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:28,903
- And there's your feature for tomorrow.
- Mark Chapman, Junior.
203
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:31,568
It'll sell papers, you left that out.
204
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:34,871
Happy hunting, cupid.
Mustn't let the boss down.
205
00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:38,312
Save at least one dance for me, princess.
206
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:58,034
Every time I aim my lens
at one of these walking zombies,
207
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:01,334
I think of the time
I covered the Miss America contest.
208
00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:03,705
The tears almost start to flow.
209
00:14:06,378 --> 00:14:09,370
From McCleary, you get nothing but service.
Ten minutes before 9:00,
210
00:14:09,448 --> 00:14:13,179
and couple number one. Mary and Joe
met in front of the Arkansas booth.
211
00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:16,221
It was love at first sight, almost. Right?
212
00:14:16,288 --> 00:14:20,349
Well, sure. I'm from Texas,
but I sure love that Arkansas cooking.
213
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,890
- You love her, don't you?
- Well, sure, I reckon so.
214
00:14:23,963 --> 00:14:26,158
- Mary, you love him?
- Yes.
215
00:14:26,966 --> 00:14:31,130
- See, they're crazy about each other.
- Yeah, that's fine. Hey, Edwards.
216
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:33,535
We've got a romance going here.
They're ready for the orange blossoms.
217
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,837
- Well, how do you do? And congratulations.
- Save the teeth for the bandstand.
218
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:38,171
Get up there
and make the big announcement.
219
00:14:38,244 --> 00:14:42,044
Yes, sir, Mr. Chapman.
Come with me, you lucky, lucky people.
220
00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:46,842
Hey, you ain't gonna forget about the bed
with the built-in television set?
221
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:48,614
You'll spend your honeymoon in front of it.
222
00:14:51,624 --> 00:14:55,321
- Nice going, Steve, keep punching.
- I'll get the camera boys up to cover it.
223
00:14:57,129 --> 00:15:01,862
- Did you find a feature to write about yet?
- I haven't, and I don't intend to.
224
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:05,435
This bribing of poor, ignorant dopes
into a public wedding
225
00:15:05,504 --> 00:15:07,665
is cheap, cruel and disgusting.
226
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:10,573
This whole Wild West show is ridiculous,
and I want no part of it.
227
00:15:10,643 --> 00:15:13,305
Miss Allison,
your contract has six months to run.
228
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:17,281
My contract was made with Mr. Madison
before you took over the <i>Express.</i>
229
00:15:17,349 --> 00:15:18,543
If you don't like the way I run the paper,
230
00:15:18,617 --> 00:15:21,245
I have an agreement
that might be satisfactory to both of us.
231
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,811
Take six months' vacation with pay!
232
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:30,286
No, thank you, Mr. Chapman. I'll work it out.
I like my feature writing.
233
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,898
Thinking people like it, too,
234
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:37,561
even though there aren't many of them
buying the <i>Express</i> anymore. Good night!
235
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:43,605
That's it.
236
00:15:50,382 --> 00:15:53,613
<i>Friends, brothers and sisters</i>
<i>in the Lonely Hearts Club.</i>
237
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:55,677
<i>I have wonderful news for you,</i>
238
00:15:55,754 --> 00:15:59,747
<i>living proof that this magnificent club</i>
<i>is more than just a name.</i>
239
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:04,386
<i>But first, how would you like to meet</i>
<i>the great man who created your club?</i>
240
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:11,998
<i>Mr. Mark Chapman,</i>
<i>editor of the</i> New York Express.
241
00:16:12,071 --> 00:16:14,665
<i>Put the spotlight on him, over there!</i>
242
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,782
<i>Now here's the wonderful news.</i>
243
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:37,056
<i>Meet Mary and Joe, two happy people</i>
<i>who came here tonight as total strangers.</i>
244
00:16:37,463 --> 00:16:42,400
<i>They met, they danced, they found love.</i>
<i>They're going to get married!</i>
245
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,474
George?
246
00:16:57,516 --> 00:17:00,041
<i>- As the first couple who fell in love tonight...</i>
- George Grant!
247
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:01,814
<i>...Mary and Joe will receive...</i>
- It is you!
248
00:17:01,887 --> 00:17:03,752
<i>...compliments of the</i> Express...
- Charlotte.
249
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:05,119
<i>... a wedding night in a New York hotel...</i>
250
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:08,921
Finding you here...
I was so sure that you must be dead.
251
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:11,759
George Grant is dead.
252
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:14,259
Yes, I just heard.
253
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,134
- You're the...
- We can't talk here.
254
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:19,901
We can talk at my place, George.
255
00:17:20,806 --> 00:17:23,036
We've got a lot to talk about.
256
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:26,509
Go on out. I'll meet you at the side entrance.
257
00:17:32,785 --> 00:17:35,151
The years have been kinder to you.
258
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:38,621
What is it, 19, 20?
I used to keep track, but I don't...
259
00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:41,716
What's the difference?
Now that you found me, what do you want?
260
00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:57,401
May I?
261
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:07,375
- Come on, quit stalling around.
- What was it they called you at the ball?
262
00:18:07,453 --> 00:18:08,977
- Mark?
- Chapman.
263
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:15,755
When did you change your name, George?
Right after you left me?
264
00:18:17,062 --> 00:18:18,962
So I wouldn't find you?
265
00:18:19,631 --> 00:18:21,292
You knew I was so crazy about you
266
00:18:21,366 --> 00:18:24,028
I'd look and look and look,
didn't you, George?
267
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,697
Come on, get to it. What do you want?
268
00:18:27,739 --> 00:18:32,574
You're still in a hurry, aren't you?
That's the thing I remember best about you.
269
00:18:32,878 --> 00:18:37,645
The fellow who always ran and never walked.
Had to get places fast!
270
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,749
And you got places, didn't you, George?
271
00:18:44,323 --> 00:18:46,883
Here, you need some money?
Here's some for now.
272
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,860
Money? The payoff, George?
273
00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:54,497
How much? How much for each year?
274
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:58,633
How much for the agony
and the heartbreak and the fear?
275
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:03,141
- Charlotte, cut the ham act.
- This could be for the doctor bill, see?
276
00:19:06,578 --> 00:19:10,173
I was 20 years younger then,
took things more seriously.
277
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:14,142
I can't imagine how much.
278
00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:18,087
You're boring me now, like you always did.
279
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:20,388
People always bored you
280
00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:23,155
when you didn't have
any more use for them, didn't they, George?
281
00:19:23,228 --> 00:19:25,025
Bores and nuisances, I get rid of them.
282
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:27,497
Yeah, the same gentle way
you got rid of me.
283
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:28,692
My lawyer will get in touch with you.
284
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:31,702
He'll arrange a quiet divorce
and generous alimony.
285
00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:34,671
You're an important man now,
aren't you, George?
286
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:37,038
Editor of the <i>New York Express.</i>
287
00:19:38,977 --> 00:19:43,346
I never thought I'd be the wife of the editor
of a big New York newspaper.
288
00:19:43,415 --> 00:19:47,112
You're not, and don't get any ideas
about forcing yourself.
289
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:51,020
You've got nothing to gain by refusing me
a divorce now like you did 20 years ago.
290
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:56,759
I was young then and so foolishly in love.
I wanted so much to hold onto you.
291
00:19:57,496 --> 00:20:00,021
I made all of my mistakes when I was young,
and you were the biggest one.
292
00:20:00,098 --> 00:20:02,794
I fell for an attractive hunk of flesh.
293
00:20:04,169 --> 00:20:07,627
"Hold me." You didn't try to hang on.
You strangled me.
294
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,936
I'd smother to death with you.
295
00:20:15,747 --> 00:20:19,808
Turnabout's fair play.
When you walked out on me, I died inside.
296
00:20:20,352 --> 00:20:23,116
When I walk out of here, you're gonna die.
297
00:20:23,188 --> 00:20:27,852
Everything you worked for, grabbed for,
ruined people to get, it's all gonna die!
298
00:20:27,926 --> 00:20:29,393
You're a neurotic screwball!
299
00:20:29,461 --> 00:20:33,955
I'm gonna spread your story all over town.
Mark Chapman, the great editor!
300
00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:37,829
Wife deserter!
Living under a false name for 20 years.
301
00:20:39,137 --> 00:20:42,334
What else did you cover up
living under a phony name?
302
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:44,637
Your publishers are gonna love this.
303
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:49,044
And the other papers, they'll cut you
to ribbons with this information!
304
00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,470
Hi, honey, let me have the city room.
305
00:23:33,812 --> 00:23:37,179
This is Elkins.
If you need me, I'm over in Skinners.
306
00:23:38,316 --> 00:23:41,808
What? Having breakfast. Yeah, breakfast.
307
00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:53,323
Yes, Julie, after that fortunate
and historical meeting with Mark yesterday,
308
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:57,629
I had considerable difficulty
wooing the fickle Morpheus.
309
00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:01,939
That explains it.
Those bleeding eyes today.
310
00:24:02,474 --> 00:24:05,341
Well, I did have a couple
with the boys down below.
311
00:24:05,410 --> 00:24:08,277
A sort of celebration, and then farewell.
312
00:24:11,049 --> 00:24:13,574
You should have left them long ago, Charlie.
313
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:15,916
Any man who was big enough
in his day to rate that,
314
00:24:16,555 --> 00:24:20,389
a place in Skinner's Hall of Fame,
is still too big for Dead-End Street.
315
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:25,028
No regrets, Julie. My temporary alliance
with the denizens of the Bowery
316
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:29,863
has provided me with a deeper insight
into the whys and wherefores of mankind.
317
00:24:35,674 --> 00:24:38,006
A proven medical fact,
when the human system
318
00:24:38,076 --> 00:24:40,840
has been lengthily nurtured
on alcoholic stimulants,
319
00:24:40,912 --> 00:24:44,871
any abrupt cessation of same
will result in a negative reaction.
320
00:24:45,016 --> 00:24:46,381
Absolutely.
321
00:24:47,652 --> 00:24:52,385
But I'm tapering off. I'll be a firmly-rooted
passenger on the old water wagon
322
00:24:52,524 --> 00:24:54,856
by the time Mark's ready for me.
323
00:24:57,295 --> 00:25:01,561
Charlie, don't bet everything
on Mark Chapman.
324
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:06,666
He won't let me down.
First time I felt ready, I asked him for a job,
325
00:25:06,938 --> 00:25:10,032
and what happened?
He offered me one, didn't he?
326
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:15,173
- Mr. Lonely Heart.
- Compliments of the <i>Express,</i> Myrtle.
327
00:25:15,747 --> 00:25:18,545
- I see you read. You stick with the radio.
- Yeah.
328
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:20,744
Hey, McCleary,
I read that rag of yours by accident.
329
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:23,287
Yeah, me, too.
From ax murder to Ionely hearts.
330
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:25,653
What are you trying to prove,
you're versatile or something?
331
00:25:25,724 --> 00:25:27,885
What are you gentlemen
reading our rag for?
332
00:25:27,959 --> 00:25:30,427
Trying to find out
what's happening that's news?
333
00:25:30,495 --> 00:25:32,929
Good morning, kiddies. What's the word?
334
00:25:35,066 --> 00:25:36,624
Silly, that's the word.
335
00:25:36,701 --> 00:25:38,635
Still a heaping bunch of joy,
aren't you, princess?
336
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:43,663
Lonely Hearts Ball. Journalism has certainly
changed since the old days.
337
00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:47,302
What happened to you last night?
Pulled a fast fade on me.
338
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:50,712
- Don't tell me you actually missed me?
- I needed protection.
339
00:25:50,782 --> 00:25:53,250
Some of our love-hungry subscribers
got mixed up.
340
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:56,014
They were offering me deep-freezes
and vacuum cleaners.
341
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:59,318
- I'm surprised you refused.
- How do you know I did?
342
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:02,849
Certainly heavy coverage
on the unrequited passion set.
343
00:26:03,261 --> 00:26:06,924
Our love and romance edition, Charlie.
Even the crossword puzzle.
344
00:26:06,998 --> 00:26:08,966
But nothing from the Allison corner.
345
00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:12,335
Not interested in romance, Julie?
346
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:16,465
Not the kind that blossoms
on free gas stoves and television sets.
347
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:21,235
- About that Lonely Heart gag, I've got a...
- Steve, on the radio.
348
00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:27,652
- Julie. Hi, Charlie.
- Hi, Biddle.
349
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:31,086
Police call. Dead dame in a flat
on Third Avenue. Are you interested?
350
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:33,090
Well, she'd probably be a cheerful change.
351
00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:36,685
I'm still getting the icebox treatment
from the female on my left.
352
00:26:36,761 --> 00:26:40,162
After them scarecrows I shot last night,
I figure my luck's gotta change.
353
00:26:40,231 --> 00:26:43,428
Even dead, this dame's bound
to have more glamour.
354
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:45,467
Let's give her a look.
355
00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:48,801
Thanks for the coffee, kitten.
356
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:03,785
Another scarecrow. I'm batting goose eggs.
357
00:27:05,323 --> 00:27:07,848
Dames have got to make trouble
even when they die, don't they, pal?
358
00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:11,384
Yeah, water downstairs and water upstairs.
359
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:14,531
Probably wanted a room
with a swimming pool.
360
00:27:14,966 --> 00:27:16,866
Hey, Davis, what are you doing here?
361
00:27:16,935 --> 00:27:21,031
I just wanted to see if I couldn't get
to one of our calls before you did.
362
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:22,471
This isn't a homicide?
363
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:24,531
We got a new man
on the beat here, McCleary.
364
00:27:24,609 --> 00:27:26,167
He's built like you between the ears.
365
00:27:26,244 --> 00:27:29,975
He saw a hole in the back of the dame's head
and figured she was slugged.
366
00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:31,515
What's your guess, Lieutenant?
367
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:33,949
She put the hole
in the back of her head herself?
368
00:27:34,019 --> 00:27:36,783
Yeah, wise-eyes, that's it. That's it exactly.
369
00:27:36,855 --> 00:27:40,291
She slipped in the tub
and opened her skull on a faucet.
370
00:27:40,358 --> 00:27:43,953
- What was the lady's name, Sherlock?
- The landlady says Jane Jones.
371
00:27:44,029 --> 00:27:45,360
- Do you believe it?
- Yeah, I believe it.
372
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:47,762
I'm fresh out of nursery school.
373
00:27:48,466 --> 00:27:52,402
Jane Jones, alias Jane Doe.
Say, Dave, you're really humming.
374
00:27:53,204 --> 00:27:56,401
Look, nuisance, if you so much as make
these bedsprings squeak once again,
375
00:27:56,474 --> 00:28:00,308
- I'll throw you in the tub with the dame.
- Lieutenant, please.
376
00:28:04,616 --> 00:28:08,177
You're wrong, Dave.
She was murdered. Clear as your head.
377
00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:10,347
Murdered for her money.
378
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:13,949
Why, this lady must have spent easily
six or seven dollars a year on clothes.
379
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:15,492
Why don't you go home, McCleary?
380
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,462
There's nothing around here
to interest a big newsman like you.
381
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:27,827
Look, junior, keep your nose
in your own business, or I'll run you in
382
00:28:27,906 --> 00:28:31,137
- for obstruction, suspicion and vagrancy.
- Why, sure, Dave.
383
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:33,837
I just thought there might be something
in here to help identify her.
384
00:28:33,912 --> 00:28:35,243
No suitcase, huh?
385
00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:41,715
- In there, boys.
- Okay, Steve, I got all I need.
386
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:46,957
Thanks, Dave.
387
00:28:49,127 --> 00:28:52,062
- No, not you two again.
- What do you guys do,
388
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:54,758
smell these things
before the police call is even in?
389
00:28:54,833 --> 00:28:57,301
Try to forget your mugs.
There's a lady in the bathroom.
390
00:28:57,368 --> 00:29:00,531
- Yes, so knock before entering.
- Coming through.
391
00:29:10,381 --> 00:29:12,406
- What'd you pinch that for?
- Look familiar?
392
00:29:12,484 --> 00:29:15,544
I had them in front of me all night, didn't I?
393
00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:18,747
Hey, that's off a Lonely Hearts badge!
394
00:29:18,823 --> 00:29:22,554
Yeah. How many pictures
did you and the boys take at the ball?
395
00:29:22,627 --> 00:29:24,925
Three, maybe four hundred. I don't know.
396
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:27,260
Rush the print of Miss Bathtub
through the lab.
397
00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:28,594
Then check it against the others.
398
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:30,964
- See if you can match them up, okay?
- Sure.
399
00:29:31,035 --> 00:29:34,937
- Shouldn't take more than a week.
- Yeah, but I want it done in an hour.
400
00:29:35,006 --> 00:29:36,701
- I'll see you at the office.
- Where are you going?
401
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:39,903
I'm gonna hitch a ride to the morgue.
If you match them, call me.
402
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,674
How about a ride to the morgue, Pete?
403
00:30:04,969 --> 00:30:07,096
Hey, Needle Nellie, anybody home?
404
00:30:07,172 --> 00:30:08,662
Hey, handsome.
405
00:30:09,007 --> 00:30:11,271
- How you doing, sweetheart?
- Doing all right, handsome.
406
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:13,037
Come here and give us a kiss.
407
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,815
- How's business at the morgue, Nellie?
- Dead.
408
00:30:19,551 --> 00:30:21,178
Business is dead.
409
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:25,621
- It's good to see you, handsome.
- Likewise, sweetheart.
410
00:30:25,690 --> 00:30:27,385
A long time between dates.
411
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:30,621
But right now,
I come seeking your expert female advice.
412
00:30:30,695 --> 00:30:34,131
Anybody that's lived as long as me
can give it. Shoot.
413
00:30:34,732 --> 00:30:37,565
Nellie, if you had just one dress
to your name
414
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:39,535
and you'd fastened something onto it
with a safety pin,
415
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:40,969
and maybe you were in a hurry,
416
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,008
would you take time to undo the pin,
or would you rip the whole thing off?
417
00:30:44,075 --> 00:30:46,305
- This is a riddle?
- No, seriously.
418
00:30:46,377 --> 00:30:51,041
Well, if I had 10 dresses and the house
was burning down, I'd still undo the pin.
419
00:30:51,115 --> 00:30:52,639
Any lady would.
420
00:30:53,017 --> 00:30:55,485
That's what I figured.
I just wanted a woman to confirm it.
421
00:30:55,553 --> 00:30:57,453
I love you, Nellie. I love you.
422
00:30:57,522 --> 00:31:00,047
- Where you going, handsome?
- I gotta see the doc.
423
00:31:00,124 --> 00:31:01,955
Maybe I can get you some business, Nellie.
424
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:11,364
Did you get those ringside ducats
I sent you?
425
00:31:11,436 --> 00:31:13,427
Steve! Yeah, it was a great fight.
426
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:15,438
Mishke really tore that Haybelly apart,
didn't he?
427
00:31:15,506 --> 00:31:19,840
Had so much blood spattered on my glasses,
I missed the knockout punch.
428
00:31:20,478 --> 00:31:24,175
Look, Doc,
they just brought in an accidental death.
429
00:31:24,249 --> 00:31:27,047
- They're putting her in the freezer right now.
- So?
430
00:31:27,118 --> 00:31:30,110
So, I'd like you to give her
the onceover for me. An autopsy.
431
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:33,646
Accidents are out of my province.
You know that, Steve.
432
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:35,383
It's going to be
a great World Series this year.
433
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:37,087
Yeah, that it is.
434
00:31:37,528 --> 00:31:41,362
I don't suppose you'd be interested
in viewing the festivities from a box seat?
435
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:47,132
Are you trying to bribe a city official?
436
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:51,135
Right behind first base, Doc.
437
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:11,028
Yeah. Yeah, get some prints ready.
I think we've got our front page.
438
00:32:11,095 --> 00:32:14,792
Well, this is your lucky day. Drop back,
I want you to mark my racing form.
439
00:32:14,866 --> 00:32:16,766
Get the door, will you?
440
00:32:17,368 --> 00:32:20,064
Yeah, and don't forget, I smoke cigars.
441
00:32:20,838 --> 00:32:24,831
- Hey, Steve, let me wipe those off a little.
- Wipe them tomorrow.
442
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:32,008
Will you smile again
if I take you to dinner tonight?
443
00:32:32,083 --> 00:32:34,847
- A little celebration coming up.
- What's the celebration?
444
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:37,649
Another McCleary scoop.
Getting monotonous, isn't it?
445
00:32:37,722 --> 00:32:42,557
That dinner. A two-party celebration,
or are you bringing a friend?
446
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:44,559
Just you and me alone.
447
00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:47,825
I'll smile again.
What are the fragile treasures?
448
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:52,060
Very rare items.
Pictures of a dame with her mouth shut.
449
00:32:53,071 --> 00:32:55,972
- Joey, catch the door, will you?
- All right.
450
00:32:58,676 --> 00:33:01,270
I've been waiting a long time
for a chance to say this.
451
00:33:01,346 --> 00:33:03,439
- Stop the presses!
- Did you get a morning-after story
452
00:33:03,514 --> 00:33:05,004
on any of those couples
we married last night?
453
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:07,483
I got a story from one
of the Lonely Heart Ball guests, all right.
454
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:11,079
But she didn't get married last night.
She got murdered!
455
00:33:19,964 --> 00:33:23,263
- Who is she?
- A Jane Doe. Nobody knows her real name.
456
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:25,996
The police think she slipped in the bathtub
and bashed her head in,
457
00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:30,507
- or they did until a little while ago.
- But you knew better all the time?
458
00:33:30,575 --> 00:33:32,941
After Doc O'Hanlon got through
cutting her up for me.
459
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:36,538
She died between 9:00 and 12:00 last night,
before she went under in the tub.
460
00:33:36,614 --> 00:33:38,479
No water in her lungs.
461
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:40,283
Did he find anything else?
462
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:44,788
Yeah, her killer was a man, middle-aged,
fair complexion. Had brown hair.
463
00:33:45,390 --> 00:33:47,620
O'Hanlon found that
in scraping under her fingernails.
464
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:50,593
You ran into this
just by playing a hunch, huh?
465
00:33:50,661 --> 00:33:53,858
A string from a Lonely Heart badge
was on her dress in the closet.
466
00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:57,628
The badge had been torn off.
I followed through from there.
467
00:34:00,371 --> 00:34:04,364
Well, is this a story,
this Lonely Heart murdered after the ball?
468
00:34:04,575 --> 00:34:06,805
Can you sell papers with this?
469
00:34:10,248 --> 00:34:13,342
Baxter, Jordan, Allison,
get in here right away.
470
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:15,477
They didn't know her name, you said?
471
00:34:15,553 --> 00:34:18,920
Well, she called herself Jane Jones.
How phony can you get?
472
00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:20,014
We've just been struck by lightning.
473
00:34:20,091 --> 00:34:22,025
It's a great follow-up
for the Lonely Hearts Ball.
474
00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:24,118
Tell them about it, Steve.
475
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:30,997
We'll call her Miss Lonely Heart,
no other name. Alone in the city, friendless.
476
00:34:31,536 --> 00:34:34,801
She went to our shindig last night,
hunting for a soul mate.
477
00:34:34,872 --> 00:34:37,363
Maybe she found one, the wrong one.
478
00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:39,872
Anyway, she left early,
and sometime before midnight
479
00:34:39,944 --> 00:34:41,343
she was beaten to death in her room
480
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:44,540
by a brown-haired, middle-aged man
of fair complexion.
481
00:34:44,615 --> 00:34:46,480
A smash follow-up is right.
482
00:34:46,551 --> 00:34:49,247
The killer had a head full of brains.
Good nerves.
483
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,723
He lugged her to the bathroom,
stripped her, tossed the body in the tub.
484
00:34:54,459 --> 00:34:58,520
No. No, he stood the body in the tub.
Aimed, let go!
485
00:34:58,696 --> 00:35:03,190
Bang, her head cracks the faucet.
Almost perfect crime. Ordinary accident.
486
00:35:04,035 --> 00:35:06,936
He's working smartly,
a guy with imagination.
487
00:35:07,004 --> 00:35:10,963
He takes her slip, stockings,
washes them, hangs them up to dry.
488
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,000
He wipes his prints off everywhere.
489
00:35:13,077 --> 00:35:16,274
He starts getting rid of anything
that could identify her.
490
00:35:16,347 --> 00:35:18,907
He took a ring off her,
probably a wedding or engagement ring.
491
00:35:18,983 --> 00:35:22,111
- How do you know that?
- Whitish circle, third finger, left hand.
492
00:35:22,186 --> 00:35:25,587
- O'Hanlon spotted it at the morgue.
- All right, go on, go on.
493
00:35:25,656 --> 00:35:27,954
Well, he grabs any other personal items
that might identify her
494
00:35:28,025 --> 00:35:29,856
and throws them in her suitcase and blows.
495
00:35:29,927 --> 00:35:32,361
- How do you know she's got a suitcase?
- Every dame's got a suitcase.
496
00:35:32,430 --> 00:35:34,022
But there wasn't one
in Miss Lonely Heart's room.
497
00:35:34,098 --> 00:35:35,861
This'll kick up the circulation.
498
00:35:36,701 --> 00:35:40,137
We can make the 5:00 edition exclusive.
Steve can do the lead story.
499
00:35:40,204 --> 00:35:42,263
Jordan, I want three column cuts
of the dame's picture at the ball
500
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:44,433
and the murder photo.
Allison, write me a sob story,
501
00:35:44,509 --> 00:35:46,568
"Miss Lonely Heart
won't be Ionely anymore."
502
00:35:46,644 --> 00:35:47,736
Fine job, Steve.
503
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,303
Sure, it's a great job,
but we're gonna top it.
504
00:35:50,381 --> 00:35:51,439
How?
505
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,513
- Bury her.
- Bury her?
506
00:35:57,555 --> 00:35:59,682
The best story I ever dug up, and he tops it.
507
00:35:59,757 --> 00:36:02,157
By 5:00 tonight, Miss Lonely Heart
will be selling newspapers for us
508
00:36:02,226 --> 00:36:05,923
on every street corner in Manhattan.
Now, go on, get going.
509
00:37:42,126 --> 00:37:43,787
Be seeing you, Humpty.
510
00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:31,269
Look, I've shown you everything in the shop.
That's the last one I've got!
511
00:38:35,513 --> 00:38:36,605
Mark!
512
00:38:39,283 --> 00:38:41,217
- Mark, old boy!
- How are you, Charlie.
513
00:38:41,285 --> 00:38:45,085
What distasteful mission brings you to this
unholy neighborhood, Mark, my friend?
514
00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:46,589
I'm just looking around.
I like to keep my hand in,
515
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,124
even though I am strapped
to a desk right now.
516
00:38:48,192 --> 00:38:50,126
You wouldn't mean you're keeping
your hand in by working
517
00:38:50,194 --> 00:38:51,821
on this Lonely Heart murder,
would you, now, Mark?
518
00:38:51,896 --> 00:38:53,955
I've got a staff to take care of that for me.
519
00:38:54,031 --> 00:38:56,727
You can't kid an old newshound
like me, Mark.
520
00:38:56,801 --> 00:39:00,999
Still following our old formula,
first check the hock shops for a clue?
521
00:39:01,072 --> 00:39:03,336
Didn't wanna tip your hand
to those cops in there, did you?
522
00:39:03,407 --> 00:39:05,637
I tell you I'm not down here on business.
Now stop playing hawkshaw!
523
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:08,770
Let me show you Charlie Barnes
still has the master's touch
524
00:39:08,846 --> 00:39:11,713
- when it comes to following up a lead, Mark.
- Tell me about it later, will you,
525
00:39:11,782 --> 00:39:15,684
- when you come back to work for me?
- You're afraid I'll get drunk and tip the story.
526
00:39:15,753 --> 00:39:18,881
- I'm tapering off, Mark.
- That's fine, Charlie. I'll call you.
527
00:39:18,956 --> 00:39:23,825
Let me work this with you, Mark. I know
this whole district from gutter to rum-heads.
528
00:39:23,894 --> 00:39:26,226
Pete in the pawnshop's
an honored friend of mine.
529
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:27,992
- Yeah.
- I can get him to work with me and...
530
00:39:28,065 --> 00:39:30,898
- Hello, Charlie!
- Go away.
531
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:35,400
- Here, Charlie, here's something to count.
- I don't want a handout, Mark.
532
00:39:35,473 --> 00:39:37,498
- I want to work.
- You can pay me later. I'll call you, Charlie.
533
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:39,338
Mark, let me help...
534
00:40:13,544 --> 00:40:14,704
Hang onto them, Pete.
535
00:40:14,779 --> 00:40:17,873
We'll drop back payday
and look them over again.
536
00:40:25,022 --> 00:40:26,489
Them guys should wear glasses.
537
00:40:26,557 --> 00:40:29,185
They do so much looking,
but never no buying.
538
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:31,125
Get this for me, Pete.
539
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:34,356
Taking something out for a change
instead of putting it in, Charlie?
540
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:37,526
I admit to the novelty of the occasion, Peter.
541
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:50,109
- Hey, you didn't hock this with me.
- Doing a favor for a friend.
542
00:40:52,082 --> 00:40:56,178
Them cops. You know, if someday
they should buy something from me, I'd...
543
00:40:56,253 --> 00:40:59,620
No, that'd be bad. I'd drop dead.
544
00:41:02,226 --> 00:41:06,185
You know, Charlie, I ought to be
in some other kind of business.
545
00:41:06,697 --> 00:41:10,497
You really meet a very poor class of people
in this business.
546
00:41:10,768 --> 00:41:13,259
Not meaning anything personal,
you understand.
547
00:41:13,337 --> 00:41:16,773
But I'm always dealing with people
who are in trouble,
548
00:41:17,274 --> 00:41:21,608
people who gotta hock something.
People who gotta buy something cheap.
549
00:41:24,582 --> 00:41:28,109
I don't like cheap things.
I never did and I never will.
550
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:34,356
I should have been big fur man, maybe,
or big jewelry man.
551
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,651
Then I could deal with rich people.
552
00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:42,554
That's the kind of people
I really prefer to deal with.
553
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:47,694
- Hey! How much is on this ticket?
- Two bucks.
554
00:41:58,249 --> 00:41:59,841
Here, sign here.
555
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:08,424
You know, sometimes they say
even the rich people aren't happy.
556
00:42:08,492 --> 00:42:11,017
But how that could be, I don't know.
557
00:42:12,296 --> 00:42:15,857
Thank you, Peter.
Thank you for being in business!
558
00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:21,433
Thank you very much.
559
00:42:33,517 --> 00:42:35,041
A shot, Heeney.
560
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:38,614
You look like your blood pressure's boiling,
Charlie. What's the matter?
561
00:42:38,689 --> 00:42:40,680
The classic irony of the age, Heeney.
562
00:42:40,758 --> 00:42:43,659
Charlie Barnes, a stewbum,
rocking the newspaper world
563
00:42:43,727 --> 00:42:46,457
like he never did in all his sober days.
564
00:43:00,411 --> 00:43:02,208
- Composing.
- Yes, sir.
565
00:43:04,481 --> 00:43:07,712
Yes. Yes, madam,
I have two answers for you.
566
00:43:08,185 --> 00:43:11,313
First, you shouldn't talk
to strange men in bars.
567
00:43:11,388 --> 00:43:13,982
Second, because he asked you to marry him
568
00:43:14,058 --> 00:43:16,356
then hit you with a pretzel dish
when you refused
569
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:19,191
isn't conclusive proof
he's our Lonely Heart Killer,
570
00:43:19,263 --> 00:43:21,697
but thanks for calling, lady. Bye.
571
00:43:23,334 --> 00:43:26,326
Phony or not,
those tips belong to the police.
572
00:43:26,704 --> 00:43:30,299
When are you going to get rid of the idea
you're wearing an invisible badge?
573
00:43:30,374 --> 00:43:34,140
Julie Allison. Hello, Charlie. How are you?
574
00:43:36,714 --> 00:43:38,181
The Lonely Heart murder?
575
00:43:38,248 --> 00:43:42,844
And you've got to meet me right away.
We have to figure out how to handle this.
576
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,514
I know the killer, and it's dynamite.
577
00:43:46,757 --> 00:43:48,952
Well, Charlie,
that story is really Steve McCleary's.
578
00:43:49,026 --> 00:43:52,587
- I think you'd better talk to...
- No, no, Julie, I want you to have this.
579
00:43:52,663 --> 00:43:55,393
Now I can repay you, Julie child,
for everything.
580
00:43:55,466 --> 00:43:59,596
Julie, this is so... It's so tremendous,
it'll put both of us on top.
581
00:44:02,272 --> 00:44:04,035
What? What, Julie?
582
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:08,835
Okay, okay, both of you meet me.
583
00:44:08,912 --> 00:44:11,540
Maybe we will need
somebody like McCleary.
584
00:44:11,615 --> 00:44:14,175
Steve, Charlie says
he has information on the murder.
585
00:44:14,251 --> 00:44:18,654
- He's awfully excited about something.
- About two quarts full, probably.
586
00:44:19,890 --> 00:44:21,881
Yeah, Charlie, what's up?
587
00:44:22,726 --> 00:44:25,695
I wanted Julie to have this,
but she insists you be on in it.
588
00:44:25,763 --> 00:44:27,663
I mean you be in on it.
589
00:44:27,965 --> 00:44:30,297
- What's the matter, Charlie?
- No.
590
00:44:31,368 --> 00:44:34,462
- What? You're not sore, are you?
- No, go away!
591
00:44:36,006 --> 00:44:38,099
What? What have I got?
592
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:40,939
I've got the Lonely Heart Killer for you,
that's what!
593
00:44:41,011 --> 00:44:44,777
Gee, Charlie, that's great.
You getting him crocked so he'll confess?
594
00:44:44,848 --> 00:44:48,807
I haven't got him. I know who he is.
595
00:44:54,858 --> 00:44:55,950
What?
596
00:44:59,563 --> 00:45:03,465
Yes, I'm in a saloon.
I'm in Heeney's. But I'm not drunk.
597
00:45:04,034 --> 00:45:07,128
I've just taken the hottest story
of the century out of hock, and I'm gonna...
598
00:45:08,038 --> 00:45:11,064
He's really flying tonight.
See what your 10 bucks did?
599
00:45:11,141 --> 00:45:15,009
Stop treating him like some
weak-minded child. Listen to what he's got.
600
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:19,482
- He's not this excited for nothing.
- You know what he's got? The DTs.
601
00:45:19,616 --> 00:45:21,675
Charlie Barnes, tanked to the eyeballs,
602
00:45:21,752 --> 00:45:24,880
says he just took the Lonely Heart
murder solution out of hock.
603
00:45:26,056 --> 00:45:29,583
Hello, Charlie?
Still there? Let's start all over again.
604
00:45:30,294 --> 00:45:34,788
Listen, you mental midget. The only reason
I'm calling the <i>Express</i> is Julie Allison.
605
00:45:34,865 --> 00:45:37,732
Before I'd give this story
to an insolent young pup like you,
606
00:45:37,801 --> 00:45:39,792
I'd take it to the <i>Daily Leader!</i>
607
00:45:39,870 --> 00:45:42,304
Charlie's mad now.
Gonna sell it to the <i>Leader.</i>
608
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:46,069
- Hang up on the drunken slob.
- Julie? She just left.
609
00:45:46,477 --> 00:45:48,570
I guess we'll just have to read your story
in the <i>Leader</i> tomorrow.
610
00:45:48,645 --> 00:45:50,772
- So long, pal.
- Give me that.
611
00:45:51,815 --> 00:45:53,077
- Hello? Hello?
- Don't be silly, Julie.
612
00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:55,141
He'll just keep you up all night
listening to his fairytales.
613
00:45:55,219 --> 00:45:59,349
- Where was he calling from?
- Bellevue psycho ward, I think he said.
614
00:46:00,257 --> 00:46:01,747
Your 10 bucks.
615
00:47:13,697 --> 00:47:15,460
- Keep this for me, Heeney.
- Why, sure, Charlie.
616
00:47:15,532 --> 00:47:17,056
A couple hours.
617
00:47:17,868 --> 00:47:20,359
One more, Heeney. One for the road.
618
00:48:05,215 --> 00:48:06,739
Hello, Charlie.
619
00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:13,617
Mark. I thought you were still down
at the Bowery.
620
00:48:15,692 --> 00:48:18,024
I hear you got a story, Charlie.
621
00:48:18,195 --> 00:48:20,060
Where'd you hear that?
622
00:48:20,597 --> 00:48:25,364
- Isn't that what you told McCleary?
- Why, I was just schmoozing him, I...
623
00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:28,295
Lining him up for a little touch.
624
00:48:28,372 --> 00:48:31,432
I gave you some money.
What did you do with it?
625
00:48:31,775 --> 00:48:33,333
You didn't, by any chance,
find a pawn ticket
626
00:48:33,410 --> 00:48:36,379
- mixed in with the money, did you, Charlie?
- Pawn ticket? Why, I...
627
00:48:36,446 --> 00:48:40,177
Did you use the money
to get the story out of hock, Charlie?
628
00:48:41,218 --> 00:48:44,585
You've got something that belongs to me.
Where is it?
629
00:48:45,389 --> 00:48:47,220
You were on the way to the <i>Leader</i>
with some evidence.
630
00:48:47,291 --> 00:48:49,725
Where is it, Charlie? Where is it?
631
00:49:01,905 --> 00:49:04,738
It's a wonderful story, isn't it, Charlie?
632
00:49:05,509 --> 00:49:07,909
You wanted to be a big man, Mark.
633
00:49:08,745 --> 00:49:12,476
This will make you famous
beyond your most ambitious dreams.
634
00:49:13,884 --> 00:49:18,412
Great story?
I've waited all my life for a story like this.
635
00:49:19,456 --> 00:49:23,483
Well, you've got it, Charlie.
But you're not going to write it.
636
00:49:27,130 --> 00:49:30,622
You're crazy, Mark.
Twenty years you've covered the news.
637
00:49:30,701 --> 00:49:33,761
Seen the bright boys try this. It never works.
638
00:49:56,493 --> 00:49:59,587
We just heard about Charlie Barnes.
Rotten deal.
639
00:50:00,163 --> 00:50:04,293
It's hard when it's someone like Charlie
you've known for 22 years.
640
00:50:04,401 --> 00:50:06,164
I knew him 25 years.
641
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:10,167
I never expected to see him
laying on a slab in this place.
642
00:50:10,507 --> 00:50:15,001
Is that right, Doc? Was he found
in an alleyway across from the <i>Daily Leader?</i>
643
00:50:15,078 --> 00:50:17,205
- Steve...
- Yes, that's right.
644
00:50:17,447 --> 00:50:20,439
The <i>Daily Leader.</i> He had a story!
645
00:50:20,517 --> 00:50:23,509
But he was taking your clever,
insolent, fresh-guy advice
646
00:50:23,587 --> 00:50:27,216
- and giving it to the <i>Leader!</i>
- He was drunk, Julie. How could I know...
647
00:50:27,290 --> 00:50:29,656
Charlie Barnes never got so drunk
he didn't know a story!
648
00:50:29,726 --> 00:50:33,492
Or that he'd try to peddle
a phony tip to a newspaper! But you...
649
00:50:33,563 --> 00:50:35,394
You couldn't bother listening to him!
650
00:50:35,465 --> 00:50:38,798
You and that newsprint hero of yours,
Mark Chapman.
651
00:50:39,269 --> 00:50:41,032
You couldn't expect us to believe
that Charlie Barnes
652
00:50:41,104 --> 00:50:43,129
had any real information
on the murder, Julie.
653
00:50:43,206 --> 00:50:45,231
We still don't know that he did.
654
00:50:45,308 --> 00:50:49,711
If you and that stone-hearted, glory seeking,
"I am the great Mark Chapman"
655
00:50:49,780 --> 00:50:51,771
had thrown Charlie
the miserable crumb of respect
656
00:50:51,848 --> 00:50:54,510
of just listening to him, he'd be alive today!
657
00:50:54,584 --> 00:50:58,748
Julie, maybe you're right.
Maybe it is partly my fault Charlie's dead.
658
00:50:58,822 --> 00:51:01,882
I'm sorry. Really sorry. But what can I do?
659
00:51:02,392 --> 00:51:06,123
Don't go soft! Show Chapman
you're a chip off the old block.
660
00:51:06,596 --> 00:51:08,655
Have him give Charlie a fancy funeral.
661
00:51:08,732 --> 00:51:11,997
Great headline.
"The <i>Express</i> buries its cast-offs."
662
00:51:12,436 --> 00:51:14,097
It'll sell papers!
663
00:51:27,350 --> 00:51:31,912
Kenny, rewrite that one paragraph, will you?
Allison had a bad night. Yeah.
664
00:51:32,289 --> 00:51:35,087
I just got yesterday's figures
from circulation, Mark.
665
00:51:35,158 --> 00:51:38,491
Six hundred and ninety-six thousand.
You're moving up there.
666
00:51:38,562 --> 00:51:41,292
Looks as though it's going to cost
the <i>Express</i> some bonus money before long.
667
00:51:41,364 --> 00:51:44,765
Quicker than you can say,
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Stockholder Rawley!"
668
00:51:44,835 --> 00:51:46,666
We're only starting,
Mr. Madison, only starting.
669
00:51:46,736 --> 00:51:48,260
That's the spirit!
670
00:51:48,338 --> 00:51:50,272
When you get to the editor's chair,
remember one thing.
671
00:51:50,340 --> 00:51:54,743
You're a hero with a lifetime job,
as long as the circulation is rising.
672
00:51:55,045 --> 00:51:59,379
- What have you got there?
- Something that will keep circulation rising.
673
00:51:59,716 --> 00:52:01,581
Charlie Barnes' story.
674
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:04,378
What are you talking about?
675
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:06,820
Charlie wasn't near the <i>Daily Leader</i>
by accident, Mark.
676
00:52:06,890 --> 00:52:08,790
He had something to print.
677
00:52:08,859 --> 00:52:11,419
I couldn't find it in his effects
at the morgue this morning,
678
00:52:11,495 --> 00:52:15,932
but I found it at Heeney's bar,
the joint Charlie phoned from last night.
679
00:52:16,233 --> 00:52:19,134
Half a pawnshop ticket was still on the bag.
680
00:52:19,236 --> 00:52:21,431
Pete's Hock Shop. I checked it.
681
00:52:21,505 --> 00:52:24,838
Charlie came in the pawnshop last night
with a claim check.
682
00:52:24,908 --> 00:52:27,536
Said he was unhocking it for a friend.
683
00:52:28,478 --> 00:52:31,743
Well, what's in the bag?
Miss Lonely Heart's name and address?
684
00:52:32,916 --> 00:52:36,477
Better than that, Mark.
Much better than that.
685
00:52:38,054 --> 00:52:40,579
A picture of the guy who killed her.
686
00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:52,362
A picture?
You can't even see the guy's face!
687
00:52:52,435 --> 00:52:54,596
What's the matter, Mark?
This is the first real lead we've got.
688
00:52:54,671 --> 00:52:56,263
The way you talked,
I thought we had it all sewed up.
689
00:52:56,339 --> 00:52:59,604
Sure, it's a lead, but it's a thin one.
How much does this give us?
690
00:52:59,676 --> 00:53:04,773
Well, we're certain the dame had a husband.
They were married in 1931 in Connecticut.
691
00:53:05,248 --> 00:53:09,048
- The husband's the guy who killed her.
- How do you make that?
692
00:53:09,419 --> 00:53:11,580
The ring mark on her finger
must have been a wedding ring.
693
00:53:11,655 --> 00:53:14,055
The inscription inside
could have identified him.
694
00:53:14,124 --> 00:53:16,388
And he grabbed the pawn ticket
figuring she'd hocked some belongings
695
00:53:16,459 --> 00:53:18,893
- that might peg him.
- Makes sense.
696
00:53:19,396 --> 00:53:22,194
Charlie got the pawn ticket from the killer.
697
00:53:22,265 --> 00:53:25,701
He must have been with him sometime,
someplace, yesterday.
698
00:53:25,769 --> 00:53:28,329
A lot of people
could have seen them together, right?
699
00:53:28,405 --> 00:53:29,770
Could have.
700
00:53:31,141 --> 00:53:33,609
Splash this picture
on the front page tonight.
701
00:53:33,677 --> 00:53:35,975
Offer a reward for information.
702
00:53:39,149 --> 00:53:41,674
"Lonely Heart Killer strikes again."
703
00:53:43,153 --> 00:53:45,246
When you write the story,
say that Barnes was working on this case
704
00:53:45,322 --> 00:53:46,346
undercover for the <i>Express.</i>
705
00:53:46,423 --> 00:53:49,620
He got too close to the killer
and died in the line of duty.
706
00:53:49,693 --> 00:53:50,887
Mark, I don't know, it...
707
00:53:50,961 --> 00:53:54,863
Nobody can deny it. It'll help sell papers.
We'll offer $1,000.
708
00:53:55,232 --> 00:53:58,360
Look, kid, don't pin your hopes
on anybody being able
709
00:53:58,435 --> 00:54:02,030
to spot the guy from this.
Unless they got x-ray eyes.
710
00:54:02,339 --> 00:54:04,034
I'm sure Charlie connected
the guy in the picture
711
00:54:04,107 --> 00:54:08,601
with the bird who gave him the pawn ticket.
I'm going to fine-tooth the Bowery myself.
712
00:54:08,678 --> 00:54:11,374
It's even money
that's where Charlie ran into our man.
713
00:54:11,448 --> 00:54:12,972
Good luck, kid.
714
00:54:44,314 --> 00:54:47,875
- Well, I got them for you, McCleary.
- Good work, Heeney.
715
00:55:05,368 --> 00:55:09,634
Well, this does it. I'll never touch
another drop the rest of my life.
716
00:55:17,547 --> 00:55:19,515
'Course some of them
been sucking on the bottle all night,
717
00:55:19,582 --> 00:55:21,516
but they can still stand up.
718
00:55:21,584 --> 00:55:24,747
- They all knew Charlie?
- Yeah, they all knew him.
719
00:55:25,088 --> 00:55:29,081
If you give McCleary here
any bum information, I'll brain you.
720
00:55:29,793 --> 00:55:31,818
And I might even do worse.
721
00:55:31,961 --> 00:55:35,522
No more free shots
when you're seeing little red spiders.
722
00:55:35,999 --> 00:55:40,095
How many of you boys saw Charlie Barnes
the day he was killed? Raise your hands.
723
00:55:40,170 --> 00:55:44,197
All right, raise your mitts,
them that seen Charlie day before yesterday.
724
00:55:44,274 --> 00:55:45,366
Good.
725
00:55:48,478 --> 00:55:50,446
- Where did you see him?
- See who?
726
00:55:50,513 --> 00:55:54,279
- This guy must be used to talking to mirrors.
- Charlie Barnes.
727
00:55:54,351 --> 00:55:58,253
I seen him come out of a joint
where he flopped in the morning.
728
00:56:00,824 --> 00:56:02,815
You, where'd you see him?
729
00:56:03,460 --> 00:56:05,826
- Humpty O'Dougal's saloon.
- What time?
730
00:56:05,895 --> 00:56:10,389
In the afternoon. Late in the afternoon.
Charlie had a nice little bun on.
731
00:56:10,934 --> 00:56:11,992
Was he with anybody?
732
00:56:12,068 --> 00:56:14,036
With anybody?
Sure, he was with somebody.
733
00:56:14,104 --> 00:56:16,834
Charlie never drank by himself
if he had a little cash on him.
734
00:56:16,906 --> 00:56:19,966
- Well, do you know the guy he was with?
- Certainly I know who he was with.
735
00:56:20,043 --> 00:56:23,206
- Well, who was it?
- Me. He sprung me three slugs.
736
00:56:29,686 --> 00:56:32,678
When did you see him?
When did you see him?
737
00:56:36,159 --> 00:56:38,491
- This morning.
- Throw him out of here.
738
00:56:38,561 --> 00:56:41,086
- Wait a minute!
- What are you talking about?
739
00:56:41,164 --> 00:56:44,691
- Now, is there any more jokers in the crowd?
- I seen him.
740
00:56:45,735 --> 00:56:49,136
Yeah? Well, go on. Where'd you see him?
741
00:56:51,074 --> 00:56:53,770
On the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
742
00:56:53,843 --> 00:56:57,472
- Go on, go on.
- Nothing. He was working a sucker.
743
00:56:58,014 --> 00:57:01,177
- Giving him the pally act, that's all.
- Now think hard.
744
00:57:01,251 --> 00:57:04,243
Do you remember the sucker?
Do you remember what he looks like?
745
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,754
- Maybe.
- What do you mean, "Maybe"?
746
00:57:06,890 --> 00:57:10,826
- Maybe for 50 bucks.
- Why you...
747
00:57:11,995 --> 00:57:15,362
Do you think you could remember
for 1,000 bucks?
748
00:57:17,267 --> 00:57:19,258
Who could tell who he is?
749
00:57:19,469 --> 00:57:22,461
Can you describe
the man you saw Charlie with?
750
00:57:22,906 --> 00:57:26,273
Do I get $1,000 if I do?
751
00:57:26,443 --> 00:57:28,968
You do. If and when we find the guy.
752
00:57:29,379 --> 00:57:32,212
- Sure, I can describe him.
- Well, go ahead.
753
00:57:34,918 --> 00:57:37,819
- You paying the reward?
- No, but my boss is.
754
00:57:38,655 --> 00:57:41,647
- Then I'll describe it to him.
- Okay. Come on.
755
00:57:41,791 --> 00:57:44,385
Rush this over to the composing room.
756
00:57:44,761 --> 00:57:48,492
Kenny, see if you can figure out
a heading for that rubbish.
757
00:57:48,698 --> 00:57:50,723
Connie! Connie, take this.
758
00:57:58,475 --> 00:57:59,806
Wait here.
759
00:58:13,623 --> 00:58:15,318
Look, Lieutenant,
just refer the captain to me.
760
00:58:15,391 --> 00:58:18,189
I'll tell him he's cropping at the best
homicide man he ever had on the force.
761
00:58:18,261 --> 00:58:20,491
If he doesn't know that,
he's deaf, dumb and blind.
762
00:58:20,563 --> 00:58:22,861
Yeah, never mind the malarkey, Chapman!
763
00:58:22,932 --> 00:58:24,900
The next time
you people pull a stunt like this,
764
00:58:24,968 --> 00:58:27,596
I'll throw both you and McCleary in the can!
765
00:58:28,271 --> 00:58:31,832
Okay, Lieutenant, okay.
I give you my word. Goodbye, pal.
766
00:58:33,042 --> 00:58:35,340
Davis is screaming because we gave him
the suitcase only a half hour
767
00:58:35,411 --> 00:58:36,878
before he read it in the <i>Express.</i>
768
00:58:36,946 --> 00:58:39,437
Well, I've got something
that ought to make him happy again.
769
00:58:39,516 --> 00:58:40,744
Not another suitcase?
770
00:58:40,817 --> 00:58:44,776
A guy who can identify the man
Charlie got the pawn ticket from.
771
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:51,384
Hey, Bailey. Come in here.
772
00:59:00,103 --> 00:59:03,561
He wouldn't describe the guy to me.
He needed the boss.
773
00:59:06,643 --> 00:59:08,304
You the boss?
774
00:59:09,379 --> 00:59:13,611
Yeah, and don't waste my time.
Where'd you see this guy with Charlie?
775
00:59:15,818 --> 00:59:18,446
Down the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
776
00:59:19,956 --> 00:59:22,151
You say you can describe him?
777
00:59:41,844 --> 00:59:44,335
Well, go on. What did he look like?
778
00:59:54,057 --> 00:59:55,786
Stand up, will you?
779
01:00:04,467 --> 01:00:07,766
Yeah, just how I figured.
780
01:00:08,805 --> 01:00:10,432
You figured what?
781
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,272
He was your size,
782
01:00:17,313 --> 01:00:18,678
your build.
783
01:00:19,115 --> 01:00:21,345
Could have been as old as you.
784
01:00:21,951 --> 01:00:26,217
- Is that all?
- All you asked me was to describe him.
785
01:00:26,723 --> 01:00:30,625
That was no description!
That could fit a million guys in this town.
786
01:00:30,693 --> 01:00:34,060
- Even me.
- Well, how about the reward?
787
01:00:34,130 --> 01:00:38,123
Here, take this down to the cashier
and pick yourself up five bucks.
788
01:00:38,201 --> 01:00:41,261
- Show him where it is, Steve.
- Come on, Bailey.
789
01:01:30,186 --> 01:01:31,517
Hey, Baxter, where's Julie?
790
01:01:31,587 --> 01:01:34,078
She came in this morning,
banged this out on her typewriter,
791
01:01:34,157 --> 01:01:36,216
and told me to give it to Chapman.
792
01:01:36,292 --> 01:01:38,385
- What is it?
- Her resignation.
793
01:01:38,461 --> 01:01:42,261
I figured I'd hang onto it a day or so.
Maybe she'd cool off.
794
01:01:42,632 --> 01:01:46,261
I'm sure glad you did.
I'll take care of it for you, okay?
795
01:01:49,238 --> 01:01:50,762
Baxter, thanks.
796
01:02:00,883 --> 01:02:03,647
- Hello, Mrs. Allison.
- Well, hello, Steve. Come in.
797
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,051
Thank you.
798
01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:14,458
I have a pot of coffee in the kitchen.
I'd better see to it.
799
01:02:14,664 --> 01:02:16,564
Can I say a few words to you?
800
01:02:16,632 --> 01:02:19,533
Without getting hit with a table
or something?
801
01:02:19,602 --> 01:02:22,230
Speak your piece and get it over with.
802
01:02:22,338 --> 01:02:25,535
I just got rocked
with a bad piece of news, Julie.
803
01:02:25,742 --> 01:02:28,040
I heard about your resignation.
804
01:02:28,444 --> 01:02:31,845
Well, I can't imagine
why you'd shed any tears over it.
805
01:02:31,914 --> 01:02:33,211
Well, for what it's worth,
806
01:02:33,282 --> 01:02:36,308
your resigning knocks the props
out of a lot of things for me.
807
01:02:37,754 --> 01:02:40,655
That couldn't have come
from Steve McCleary.
808
01:02:41,791 --> 01:02:44,851
Okay, pass it. But I didn't figure
your burn at Chapman and me
809
01:02:44,927 --> 01:02:48,454
would be bigger than your wanting
to do something about Charlie's murder.
810
01:02:49,632 --> 01:02:52,829
Don't start playing me
for a hollow-headed female now, Steve.
811
01:02:52,902 --> 01:02:55,871
Your only interest, and Chapman's,
in Charlie's death is exploiting it
812
01:02:55,938 --> 01:02:59,601
- for all the circulation jumping it's worth!
- Julie, I'm not digging on a story now
813
01:02:59,675 --> 01:03:03,577
just for the school-boy bang of seeing
my name over a sensational yarn.
814
01:03:03,646 --> 01:03:06,672
Yeah, that's right, I had to get hit pretty hard
before I smartened up.
815
01:03:06,749 --> 01:03:09,309
But now I'm leveling
on the Charlie Barnes business.
816
01:03:13,422 --> 01:03:18,257
Well, if I can believe what I'm hearing,
this certainly is a different McCleary.
817
01:03:19,328 --> 01:03:20,955
I've been working night and day.
818
01:03:21,030 --> 01:03:24,227
All I've done is run the local leads
to a dead end.
819
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:29,294
There's only one gimmick left to follow.
This picture, the marriage in Connecticut.
820
01:03:29,472 --> 01:03:33,067
It's odd the person who married them
hasn't recognized it.
821
01:03:33,142 --> 01:03:36,077
Unless he's dead or hasn't seen the picture.
822
01:03:36,579 --> 01:03:40,310
Yeah, I thought of that angle, too.
But it's a million-to-one shot.
823
01:03:40,383 --> 01:03:43,716
A guy would have to be an elephant
to remember a face after 21 years.
824
01:03:44,787 --> 01:03:48,314
Tell him about the elephant we met
on Fifth Avenue, about four years ago.
825
01:03:48,391 --> 01:03:50,791
We were walking along the street when,
right out of the blue,
826
01:03:50,860 --> 01:03:53,021
a complete stranger stopped me.
827
01:03:53,095 --> 01:03:56,656
It turned out to be the little preacher
who married Julie's father and me
828
01:03:56,732 --> 01:03:59,724
in Portland, Maine, 23 years before!
829
01:04:01,404 --> 01:04:06,603
- And he actually was able to recognize you?
- And I'd put on a little weight since then.
830
01:04:07,210 --> 01:04:10,270
They say a New Englander
seldom forgets a face.
831
01:04:10,980 --> 01:04:13,813
Crazy odds, but what can we lose?
832
01:04:15,051 --> 01:04:16,416
Yeah, get this picture
833
01:04:16,485 --> 01:04:19,750
to every churchman, judge
and justice of the peace in Connecticut.
834
01:04:19,822 --> 01:04:24,259
- It's certainly worth trying.
- It's a big job. Compiling lists,
835
01:04:24,527 --> 01:04:26,620
- checking out leads.
- It can be done.
836
01:04:26,696 --> 01:04:28,687
The two of us could handle it, Julie.
837
01:04:29,732 --> 01:04:32,667
Well, I'd like to, Steve, but I've resigned.
838
01:04:32,735 --> 01:04:36,637
And I'd sooner drop dead
than ask Mark Chapman for my job back.
839
01:04:43,312 --> 01:04:45,803
- You dog!
- It never got past Baxter.
840
01:04:46,883 --> 01:04:48,908
A list of churches in each town
is no problem.
841
01:04:48,985 --> 01:04:52,318
The judges and JPs we can get
from the state legal directory in Hartford.
842
01:04:52,388 --> 01:04:54,720
Yeah, you start packing.
Enough for a couple of weeks.
843
01:04:54,790 --> 01:04:56,451
I'm going to the office
and get the lab boys started
844
01:04:56,525 --> 01:04:57,787
on knocking out a few hundred circulars.
845
01:04:57,860 --> 01:05:00,260
But suppose Chapman says no
to my working with you on it?
846
01:05:00,329 --> 01:05:03,492
Why should he? Anyway, I'm not going
to tell him anything until we're ready to go.
847
01:05:03,566 --> 01:05:04,658
Tonight sometime.
848
01:05:04,734 --> 01:05:08,898
Mom, you think it's safe for me to travel
out of state at night with this young man?
849
01:05:08,971 --> 01:05:12,702
Just so he doesn't misconstrue
the meaning of "freedom of the press."
850
01:05:12,775 --> 01:05:16,336
Hey, you wonderful woman.
I'll check with you for dinner.
851
01:05:21,417 --> 01:05:23,544
Steve, this is shot-in-the-dark stuff.
852
01:05:23,619 --> 01:05:26,452
Mark, more rabbit-brained ideas than this
have paid off.
853
01:05:26,522 --> 01:05:28,956
Your hottest lead is right here in town
where the murders were committed.
854
01:05:29,025 --> 01:05:32,290
Yeah, our hottest lead was in town,
but it dried up like a puddle in July.
855
01:05:32,361 --> 01:05:33,589
You're looking for a mental marvel,
856
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:36,154
a guy who can recognize somebody
he'd seen for 15 or 20 minutes
857
01:05:36,232 --> 01:05:38,757
at a wedding ceremony
he performed 21 years ago.
858
01:05:38,834 --> 01:05:41,394
How do we know he only saw them
for 15 or 20 minutes?
859
01:05:41,470 --> 01:05:44,200
Maybe they were members of his church
or were married by a judge
860
01:05:44,273 --> 01:05:46,298
or a justice in their own town.
861
01:05:46,375 --> 01:05:48,605
Steve, you're off
on a needle-in-a-haystack hunt.
862
01:05:48,678 --> 01:05:51,078
You can find a needle in a haystack
if you look long enough.
863
01:05:51,147 --> 01:05:53,775
You don't think I'm gonna let you
hang around up there indefinitely, do you?
864
01:05:53,849 --> 01:05:55,680
You won't have to. A week, probably.
865
01:05:55,751 --> 01:05:58,982
Julie Allison's coming along to help me.
It's all arranged.
866
01:05:59,055 --> 01:06:02,456
It's all arranged. And that five grand reward.
You arranged that, too?
867
01:06:02,525 --> 01:06:06,586
No, you did, or will.
Mark, what's eating you?
868
01:06:07,096 --> 01:06:09,257
I'm only checking out every possible angle.
869
01:06:09,332 --> 01:06:11,061
Kid, I don't want you to beat your brains out.
870
01:06:11,133 --> 01:06:13,033
We can get just so much
out of this Lonely Hearts story,
871
01:06:13,102 --> 01:06:16,128
and then we'll start easing it off
and let it die a natural death.
872
01:06:16,205 --> 01:06:19,368
Let it die? Mark, we let Charlie Barnes die!
873
01:06:20,509 --> 01:06:22,909
The least we can do now is to find his killer.
874
01:06:23,679 --> 01:06:26,443
You're the guy who pounded into me,
"Never give up till you've got the story."
875
01:06:26,515 --> 01:06:28,449
Well, I'm not quitting on this one
until I've licked it.
876
01:06:28,517 --> 01:06:30,985
You can reach me
at the Lenox Hotel in Hartford.
877
01:06:56,579 --> 01:06:57,978
Long distance.
878
01:06:58,047 --> 01:06:59,844
I want some information.
879
01:06:59,915 --> 01:07:01,906
A telephone number
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
880
01:07:01,984 --> 01:07:05,181
The name is Hacker. He's a judge.
I don't remember his first name.
881
01:07:05,254 --> 01:07:07,222
You wish to place a call to this party?
882
01:07:07,289 --> 01:07:10,383
No, no. Not yet, that is.
I just want to get his telephone number.
883
01:07:10,459 --> 01:07:12,188
<i>One moment, please.</i>
884
01:07:16,799 --> 01:07:20,235
Hello? The Middlebury operator
has no listing for anyone by that name.
885
01:07:21,037 --> 01:07:22,436
There isn't?
886
01:07:23,305 --> 01:07:25,296
Middlebury's a small town.
Will you ask the operator
887
01:07:25,374 --> 01:07:26,966
if she knows anything
about Judge Hacker at all?
888
01:07:27,043 --> 01:07:29,273
Is he deceased, moved away, or what?
889
01:07:29,345 --> 01:07:31,074
<i>One moment, please.</i>
890
01:07:35,518 --> 01:07:38,510
Hello? The local operator
has been in Middlebury for five years
891
01:07:38,587 --> 01:07:40,646
and knows no one
by the name of Judge Hacker.
892
01:07:40,723 --> 01:07:42,384
That's all the information she can give us.
893
01:07:43,959 --> 01:07:45,153
Thanks.
894
01:08:32,908 --> 01:08:35,308
No, Reverend,
I'm afraid that's not our couple.
895
01:08:36,412 --> 01:08:39,040
You may be positive, Reverend,
but you're mistaken.
896
01:08:39,115 --> 01:08:41,515
The woman in the photo we sent you
is dead.
897
01:08:41,584 --> 01:08:43,916
Thank you for calling, Reverend.
898
01:08:46,288 --> 01:08:48,153
You don't have to tell me.
899
01:08:48,224 --> 01:08:50,852
It's written all over
your bright and shining face.
900
01:08:50,926 --> 01:08:53,759
A 190-mile drive
to have a whack-head tell me
901
01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:56,423
that both the people in our circular
died a year ago.
902
01:08:57,766 --> 01:09:01,896
New Englanders remember, all right.
Every face is familiar to them.
903
01:09:04,406 --> 01:09:07,671
Hello? Just a minute, here's Steve.
904
01:09:08,110 --> 01:09:10,340
It's that man again. Every day.
905
01:09:10,412 --> 01:09:13,313
Does he think we'll keep it a big fat secret
if we find something?
906
01:09:15,284 --> 01:09:16,649
Yeah, Mark.
907
01:09:18,487 --> 01:09:20,819
Nothing but an aching back
and some interesting meetings
908
01:09:20,890 --> 01:09:22,824
with jelly-brained screwballs.
909
01:09:22,892 --> 01:09:26,555
You've had enough time, Steve. Ten days.
Admit it's a dud. Come on home.
910
01:09:26,629 --> 01:09:29,325
Two more days, Mark.
We'll stick it out to the end of the week.
911
01:09:29,899 --> 01:09:33,391
Get out of the haystack. It's easier
to find the needles at the scene of the crime.
912
01:09:33,469 --> 01:09:34,936
I'll see you.
913
01:09:35,771 --> 01:09:39,832
Two more days. I don't even know myself
why we're sticking around.
914
01:09:41,043 --> 01:09:42,772
Anything there that sounds good?
915
01:09:44,180 --> 01:09:47,946
I'll read you a fair sample.
From a J.P. Waterbury.
916
01:09:49,084 --> 01:09:52,451
"Send me $5,000
and I will tell you names of people."
917
01:09:52,655 --> 01:09:54,646
A new head I'll send him.
918
01:09:55,658 --> 01:09:58,320
I've got a headache.
I think I'll lie down for a while.
919
01:09:59,728 --> 01:10:01,855
Why don't you lie down here?
920
01:10:07,269 --> 01:10:08,998
I'll go to my room.
921
01:10:15,344 --> 01:10:17,744
McCleary. Okay, put him on.
922
01:10:18,681 --> 01:10:20,808
A guy calling from Franklin.
923
01:10:21,283 --> 01:10:23,308
Hello? Yeah, that's right.
924
01:10:25,955 --> 01:10:27,149
You do, huh?
925
01:10:29,258 --> 01:10:31,590
- You've got what?
- What is it?
926
01:10:31,827 --> 01:10:35,456
- Just a minute.
- I have the other picture right before me!
927
01:10:35,864 --> 01:10:41,131
Yes, I married them July 19th, 1931,
over in Middlebury.
928
01:10:42,438 --> 01:10:44,702
A funny thing. What's that?
929
01:10:48,143 --> 01:10:49,872
Judge Elroy Hacker.
930
01:10:50,379 --> 01:10:52,404
We'll be there in two hours, Judge.
931
01:10:52,481 --> 01:10:54,244
Sit tight
and keep your mouth shut about this.
932
01:10:54,316 --> 01:10:55,374
Bye.
933
01:10:55,584 --> 01:10:59,247
Go on, get packed.
He's liable to drop dead on us or something.
934
01:11:55,110 --> 01:11:58,102
For a man who can sit there
and watch his success increasing daily,
935
01:11:58,180 --> 01:12:00,011
you're looking much too troubled, Mark.
936
01:12:00,082 --> 01:12:03,210
It's just that these minor problems
always seem to require major thinking.
937
01:12:03,285 --> 01:12:06,379
Well, perhaps we can balance
the unpleasant with the pleasant.
938
01:12:06,455 --> 01:12:09,390
That conversation we had the other day
about your buying company stock.
939
01:12:09,458 --> 01:12:10,823
- Yeah?
- I just thought I'd tell you,
940
01:12:10,893 --> 01:12:14,920
- I think we can swing that.
- That's fine, Mr. Madison, just great.
941
01:12:14,997 --> 01:12:17,659
Well, there doesn't seem to be any doubt
you'll reach that bonus figure.
942
01:12:17,733 --> 01:12:19,064
It'll be pleasant having you as a partner,
943
01:12:19,134 --> 01:12:20,863
- so to speak, in the paper, Mark.
- Thanks.
944
01:12:20,936 --> 01:12:22,801
- Good night.
- Good night.
945
01:14:17,953 --> 01:14:19,147
Sorry to keep you this late, Mark,
946
01:14:19,221 --> 01:14:21,621
but we got hit with a mess of traffic
on the way in.
947
01:14:21,690 --> 01:14:23,157
Your wire sounded important.
948
01:14:23,225 --> 01:14:26,456
I found that needle,
or rather the man with the needle.
949
01:14:26,528 --> 01:14:29,725
Judge Elroy Hacker,
Mark Chapman, Managing Editor.
950
01:14:29,865 --> 01:14:32,925
- Glad to meet you, Judge.
- How do, Mr. Chapman?
951
01:14:33,902 --> 01:14:35,893
- Sit down, Judge.
- Thanks.
952
01:14:36,772 --> 01:14:38,672
Does the judge's needle sew anything up?
953
01:14:38,740 --> 01:14:41,231
Everything but knotting the thread
at the end.
954
01:14:41,310 --> 01:14:42,937
I mean the noose.
955
01:14:44,046 --> 01:14:45,240
What have you got?
956
01:14:45,314 --> 01:14:48,511
The identity of Mrs. Lonely Heart
and her husband.
957
01:14:49,117 --> 01:14:51,711
Judge Hacker married them
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
958
01:14:51,787 --> 01:14:54,688
Their names are Charlotte and George Grant.
959
01:14:58,827 --> 01:14:59,953
Did you get that, Mark?
960
01:15:00,028 --> 01:15:03,327
The name of the Lonely Heart Killer
is George Grant.
961
01:15:03,699 --> 01:15:05,530
Yeah, I heard you. Go on.
962
01:15:05,601 --> 01:15:08,229
Strike two. The judge is sure
he can identify George Grant
963
01:15:08,303 --> 01:15:10,203
when he sees him again.
964
01:15:10,806 --> 01:15:13,969
You see, I took this picture myself.
965
01:15:14,710 --> 01:15:17,338
A little extra service
the judge gave his bridal couples.
966
01:15:17,412 --> 01:15:20,711
Yes. I'd send them a print
and put one in my own scrapbook.
967
01:15:20,782 --> 01:15:22,579
The judge even furnished
the "just married" sign.
968
01:15:22,651 --> 01:15:24,118
Judge, you said
you married them in Middlebury,
969
01:15:24,186 --> 01:15:27,883
- but Steve found you in Franklin.
- I retired seven years ago.
970
01:15:27,956 --> 01:15:31,323
I'm partial to fishing,
so I moved over on the coast.
971
01:15:32,027 --> 01:15:34,928
I only happened
to see your circular by chance,
972
01:15:34,997 --> 01:15:37,830
in the office of a justice friend of mine.
973
01:15:40,602 --> 01:15:43,571
I always said you were born
in a field of shamrocks.
974
01:15:43,639 --> 01:15:47,769
Sure. The McClearys raised their kids
on nothing but rabbits' feet.
975
01:15:48,410 --> 01:15:52,471
Judge, what makes you so sure
you can identify George Grant today?
976
01:15:54,383 --> 01:15:57,250
Well, mainly because right after
I took that wedding picture,
977
01:15:57,319 --> 01:16:00,482
this Grant got vexed at his wife
about something.
978
01:16:01,590 --> 01:16:05,651
I can remember his voice, snapping at her.
His face getting red...
979
01:16:07,696 --> 01:16:11,598
I know what's in your bonnet, Mark.
We still have to find George Grant.
980
01:16:11,667 --> 01:16:14,363
A needle's nothing but a hunk of steel
if you've got nothing to sew.
981
01:16:14,436 --> 01:16:15,801
We just need the thread.
982
01:16:15,871 --> 01:16:18,203
I figure we'll pick that up
right here in New York.
983
01:16:18,273 --> 01:16:21,367
When the police line up all the local
George Grants for the judge to look over.
984
01:16:23,745 --> 01:16:27,416
That's Julie. I dropped her off
at headquarters to tell Davis what we've got.
985
01:16:29,251 --> 01:16:32,618
Friend Davis is steaming
like a pressure cooker, as I said he would.
986
01:16:32,688 --> 01:16:33,746
He'll simmer down.
987
01:16:33,822 --> 01:16:36,484
So will your
lining up the George Grants idea.
988
01:16:36,558 --> 01:16:40,255
Davis says he'll do nothing until you turn
Judge Hacker over to the police.
989
01:16:40,329 --> 01:16:42,763
- Steve, you can't hold...
- Relax, doll. He'll see the judge later.
990
01:16:42,831 --> 01:16:44,924
Not tonight he won't.
The judge is our exclusive beat.
991
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,230
Nobody gets to him
till our story breaks tomorrow.
992
01:16:47,302 --> 01:16:49,031
I don't trust cops.
993
01:16:51,607 --> 01:16:52,904
You and Julie start writing the story.
994
01:16:52,975 --> 01:16:56,308
I'll put the judge in a side-street hotel
where nobody will get to him.
995
01:16:56,378 --> 01:16:57,902
Come on, Judge.
996
01:17:01,316 --> 01:17:03,648
I'll just wait for Mr. McCleary.
997
01:17:04,987 --> 01:17:06,921
He was going to put me up at his place.
998
01:17:06,989 --> 01:17:08,581
That's the first place
the wolves will start baying.
999
01:17:08,657 --> 01:17:10,921
You better come with me, Judge.
1000
01:17:10,993 --> 01:17:15,157
No, I don't think it would be wise
for me to go with you, Mr. Grant.
1001
01:17:15,731 --> 01:17:18,325
- Mister...
- Chapman, Judge. Not Grant.
1002
01:17:18,734 --> 01:17:21,294
You'd better give your brain a rest.
You're gonna need it.
1003
01:17:21,370 --> 01:17:22,735
He may be Chapman now,
1004
01:17:22,804 --> 01:17:27,104
but 21 years ago, when I married them,
he was George Grant.
1005
01:17:27,509 --> 01:17:29,534
And he was a newspaperman.
1006
01:17:30,379 --> 01:17:34,145
I remember now. He said he worked
on the paper over in Waterford.
1007
01:17:34,216 --> 01:17:37,549
Waterford, Connecticut, was that town
I couldn't think of.
1008
01:17:37,619 --> 01:17:40,110
But I knew I'd remember that voice.
1009
01:17:40,422 --> 01:17:44,586
His face... You've changed.
But it's the same man.
1010
01:17:45,060 --> 01:17:48,086
You remember that $5,000 reward, though,
don't you, Judge?
1011
01:17:48,163 --> 01:17:51,428
Judge. This is impossible.
You're getting confused.
1012
01:17:51,633 --> 01:17:54,864
He sounds to me as though
he knows exactly what he's saying.
1013
01:17:54,936 --> 01:17:57,837
This is idiotic!
Screwball, crackbrained lunacy!
1014
01:17:57,906 --> 01:18:01,364
And that's just the kind of a witness
the judge is going to make, too, Steve.
1015
01:18:01,443 --> 01:18:03,240
The police have that specimen
of hair and flesh
1016
01:18:03,311 --> 01:18:05,905
found under Mrs. Grant's fingernails.
1017
01:18:06,348 --> 01:18:09,283
I think we'd better get in touch with Davis.
1018
01:18:09,551 --> 01:18:11,212
No phone, Allison.
1019
01:18:21,797 --> 01:18:26,359
Julie pegged you right off.
But me, still wet behind the ears McCleary.
1020
01:18:27,235 --> 01:18:29,328
I went for the sleigh ride.
1021
01:18:29,971 --> 01:18:35,409
I practically built the pedestal for Chapman.
The great newspaperman. The great guy.
1022
01:18:36,778 --> 01:18:41,545
There ought to be a special Pulitzer Prize
for the world's biggest sucker, McCleary.
1023
01:18:41,616 --> 01:18:44,141
Just another one of your stupid slobs!
1024
01:18:44,219 --> 01:18:45,948
Things happen, Steve,
and then there's just no end.
1025
01:18:46,021 --> 01:18:47,921
Killing my wife was an accident.
1026
01:18:47,989 --> 01:18:51,823
And Charlie. Charlie Barnes,
who never hurt a fly in his life.
1027
01:18:52,294 --> 01:18:54,057
A washed-up drunken rummy
who had nothing to live for
1028
01:18:54,129 --> 01:18:55,790
against a career
that was just reaching its prime.
1029
01:18:55,864 --> 01:18:59,322
- It wasn't an even exchange.
- You've got a great career ahead of you now.
1030
01:18:59,401 --> 01:19:02,302
That's all down the drain.
I gotta to make different plans now.
1031
01:19:02,370 --> 01:19:04,736
You should have started running
when you got my wire, sucker!
1032
01:19:04,806 --> 01:19:06,501
I gambled.
The stakes are big enough, you don't run
1033
01:19:06,575 --> 01:19:10,443
unless there's nothing else left to do.
Don't try it, kid.
1034
01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:30,190
Steve!
1035
01:19:50,986 --> 01:19:53,011
We're just too close, kid.
1036
01:19:57,292 --> 01:20:02,059
I figured I'd find you birds here.
Still playing me for a pushover, aren't you?
1037
01:20:04,032 --> 01:20:06,227
Steve, you remember how I told you
1038
01:20:06,301 --> 01:20:09,464
that someday you'd run into
a really great story?
1039
01:20:09,905 --> 01:20:11,736
Well, this one ought to do it, huh?
1040
01:20:12,474 --> 01:20:14,374
Yeah, this one will do.
1041
01:20:14,976 --> 01:20:16,603
I'll give you the lead on it.
1042
01:20:17,846 --> 01:20:18,972
"The elusive Lonely Heart Killer,
1043
01:20:19,047 --> 01:20:20,708
"object of a nationwide search

1044
01:20:20,782 --> 01:20:23,774

of the <i>New York Express.</i>
1045
01:20:25,387 --> 01:20:27,321
"He was apprehended

1046
01:20:27,389 --> 01:20:30,449
"who learned his trade

1047
01:20:31,259 --> 01:20:32,920

01:20:32,994 --> 01:20:35,827
"Managing Editor of the <i>New York Express."</i>
1049
01:20:37,766 --> 01:20:42,601
- Write it up big, kid. It'll sell a lot of papers.
- All right, drop it, Chapman.

Mark Chapman, editor of the New York Express, has made the newspaper a success by pursuing sensationalism and yellow journalism. His protégé is ace reporter Steve McCleary, while successful feature writer Julie Allison is frustrated by the paper's drift towards raking the muck. One night, during a lonely hearts dance organized by the Express, Chapman's estranged wife confronts him and demands that he visit her hotel room. It is revealed that Chapman's real name is George Grant, and he abandoned his wife decades earlier, changing his identity. When Chapman rebuffs her efforts toward reconciliation, she threatens to publicize his real identity. Chapman tries to restrain her, accidentally killing her in the scuffle.
Chapman attempts to cover up his crime, posing the scene to look like an accident. The police initially believe she slipped in the bathtub, but McCleary begins covering the case, and his reporting reveals it was a murder. McCleary is eager to run the story, and Chapman must acquiesce to avoid suspicion. The "mystery" murderer is dubbed the "Lonely Hearts Killer." Charlie Barnes, an alcoholic former star reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner, stumbles upon the dead woman's suitcase, in which he finds wedding photographs showing Chapman (then Grant) and his wife. He realizes that Chapman must be the killer. Barnes contacts Allison, who has been kind to him, attempting to give her the scoop, but Chapman overhears the conversation. He intercepts and kills Barnes before he can reveal the truth to a rival publication. This act only increases public interest in the story of the Lonely Hearts Killer, much to Chapman's frustration.
Assisted by Allison, McCleary continues to track down clues and leads. Eventually he locates another photo from Chapman/Grant's wedding, although the groom is shot in profile and it is not obvious that it is Chapman. McCleary and Allison travel to Connecticut to find the judge who married the murdered woman and the man in the photograph. After a week of searching, they identify the judge who conducted the marriage. They bring him back to the newspaper building, where he identifies Chapman as the groom and thus the Lonely Hearts Killer. McCleary is incredulous, but Allison puts the pieces together and the desperate Chapman pulls a gun on them. The police arrive, and Chapman cannot bring himself to shoot McCleary. Instead, he gives McCleary his blessing to publish all details of his crimes and then commits suicide by cop.

1
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,468
I know how you feel, lady.
2
00:01:52,545 --> 00:01:54,445
Just take your time
and tell me what happened.
3
00:01:54,514 --> 00:01:57,915
He had this meat ax, her blood all over it.
4
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:03,187
My brother-in-law had it.
Blood all over his hands, all over his shirt.
5
00:02:03,389 --> 00:02:05,687
I can't talk about it, Officer.
6
00:02:05,859 --> 00:02:08,851
I know it's rough, lady,
but I have to have the facts.
7
00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:14,298
He comes staggering out in the hall.
He says, "I did it. Call the cops."
8
00:02:15,101 --> 00:02:16,125
And then he...
9
00:02:16,202 --> 00:02:19,467
Snap it up, Captain.
Lieutenant Davis just blew in.
10
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,303
What's he going to do, Officer?
11
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:25,003
- I'm not a cop, lady.
- But you said...
12
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:27,610
All I said was,
"I had to ask you some questions."
13
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,079
I'm from the <i>Express.</i>
14
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:33,984
You made me go through all that.
Why, you're not decent! You're not human!
15
00:02:34,754 --> 00:02:38,121
- Sorry, lady. All part of the job.
- Well, well, Lieutenant Davis.
16
00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:42,252
- Say, this must have been a homicide.
- Hi, Lieutenant. Wait till you hear it.
17
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:45,092
- A messy one.
- You keep pulling stuff like this, McCleary,
18
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:50,193
and so help me, if it's the last thing I do,
I'll run you in! Now, that's a warning!
19
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:18,591
This is KL-75263. Get me Plaza-52099.
20
00:03:19,532 --> 00:03:24,401
You know, that wasn't a bad-Iooking dame.
Too bad the guy used an ax on her head.
21
00:03:25,271 --> 00:03:27,796
Spoiled some pretty pictures for me.
22
00:03:28,908 --> 00:03:31,877
Hey, Mark, have you put on the gloves
with those stockholders yet?
23
00:03:32,178 --> 00:03:34,203
Hi. No, I'm just taping up my hands.
24
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,976
<i>Well, you can tell them we got</i>
<i>another neat and gory one coming up.</i>
25
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:39,177
<i>Hatchet murder. Lower East Side tenement.</i>
26
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:41,652
<i>Wrapped up an exclusive interview</i>
<i>with an eyewitness.</i>
27
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:43,211
You got plenty of art?
28
00:03:43,289 --> 00:03:45,052
Yeah. Biddle grabbed all he could
of the body.
29
00:03:45,124 --> 00:03:49,185
A dame, very messy.
Got a great hysterical close-up of her sister.
30
00:03:49,529 --> 00:03:52,828
I'll even write the caption for you.
"I seen him with a bloody meat ax."
31
00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:54,592
Good. With that, I can sell papers.
32
00:03:54,667 --> 00:03:57,295
Give it to rewrite and we'll get it in the final.
Hold on. What do you want?
33
00:03:57,370 --> 00:04:00,237
Mr. Madison called down
from the boardroom again, Mr. Chapman.
34
00:04:00,306 --> 00:04:02,831
You hear that?
I'm letting them stew in their financial juices.
35
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:05,067
Well, don't overdo it. I like this job.
36
00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:08,273
You've never gone backwards
with me before, have you, kid?
37
00:04:08,348 --> 00:04:13,217
If we leave here, we'll bounce into
a bigger setup. I'll see you when you get in.
38
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:21,417
As one of the largest stockholders
in this corporation,
39
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:24,463
I would like to know
why the <i>New York Express,</i>
40
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:27,465
once a distinguished
and respected newspaper,
41
00:04:29,869 --> 00:04:33,600
has been allowed to become
a cheap and depraved publication.
42
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:38,835
Why has an editor been allowed
to turn a decent journal into this?
43
00:04:39,679 --> 00:04:41,613
A disgusting tabloid!
44
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,749
Pandering to the passions
of the base morons!
45
00:04:45,151 --> 00:04:47,847
I demand an explanation, Frank Madison.
46
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:54,750
Well, Mrs. Rawley, I...
In defense of Mark Chapman, I...
47
00:04:54,827 --> 00:04:58,263
Mr. Madison, I'd like to handle
my own defense, if you don't mind.
48
00:04:58,331 --> 00:04:59,855
Just as you say, Mark.
49
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:05,428
Mrs. Rawley, I think you
and the other stockholders should know
50
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:07,496
that your publisher hired me
as executive editor
51
00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:09,837
with full rights to transform this newspaper.
52
00:05:10,677 --> 00:05:14,443
He did this for a very simple reason.
He was fed up with operating at a loss.
53
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:18,611
Why did Mr. Madison hire me?
Well, he felt it was time that the <i>Express</i>
54
00:05:18,685 --> 00:05:21,745
buried its antiquated negative approach,
such as this.
55
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:25,756
But who won?
56
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:29,920
And become a positive newspaper.
We're in a business, ladies and gentlemen,
57
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:34,695
a business of satisfying the hunger
of the public for thrills, escape and news.
58
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:39,271
Here's where I took over
your highly respectable white elephant.
59
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:42,172
Instead of headlining a UN story,
we gave them a vice story.
60
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:44,368
Obviously, they went for it.
61
00:05:44,544 --> 00:05:46,239
We played down
the presidential appointments
62
00:05:46,312 --> 00:05:48,644
and concentrated
on the "Gorilla Man" killings.
63
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:51,576
Here's what happened.
Thirty or forty thousand new readers.
64
00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:54,245
Why, in a year, circulation's up over 110%.
65
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,686
And when we reach 750,000,
66
00:05:56,756 --> 00:06:00,886
we'll have to pay you a big bonus.
I'm not sure I like this at all.
67
00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:02,761
Did you like the dividend check
you got last month
68
00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:04,194
for the first time in 12 years?
69
00:06:04,263 --> 00:06:07,323
I don't like this, sir.
What kind of journalism is this?
70
00:06:07,967 --> 00:06:10,026
A newspaper
staging a cheap, vulgar display
71
00:06:10,103 --> 00:06:13,266
in order to attract
the stupid slobs of the city!
72
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,865
The thousands who will attend
the Lonely Heart dance tonight,
73
00:06:15,942 --> 00:06:18,467
these poor, friendly, unhappy people
whom you call stupid slobs,
74
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:20,569
buy and read this newspaper.
75
00:06:20,646 --> 00:06:22,944
Their loyalty helped put that dividend check
in your pocket.
76
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:26,712
And I suppose you think it's a public service
when one of your reporters is arrested
77
00:06:26,786 --> 00:06:30,745
for withholding information from the police?
Or whatever it was.
78
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:34,150
This, what's his name, McCleary person,
79
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,352
and the things he writes about!
I think he should be fired!
80
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:39,295
This McCleary person
is the best young reporter I've seen
81
00:06:39,365 --> 00:06:41,060
in 25 years of newspapering.
82
00:06:41,134 --> 00:06:43,193
Before I'll fire him,
I'll throw the <i>Express</i> up for grabs
83
00:06:43,269 --> 00:06:45,669
and go to work for somebody
who appreciates real talent on a paper!
84
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:47,262
- Mark, I'm sure...
- One last thing.
85
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:50,798
The only contract I have here is a handshake
between Mr. Madison and myself.
86
00:06:50,877 --> 00:06:53,141
Now, unless you give me full rights
to run this paper the way I want,
87
00:06:53,212 --> 00:06:55,271
I'll quit after the final edition today.
88
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:58,784
Now, I'm sorry I can't stay with you
any longer. I have a newspaper to get out!
89
00:07:06,092 --> 00:07:10,426
- Your story ready, Miss Allison?
- I'll have the rest in a minute, Joey.
90
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:13,831
Mr. Chapman?
91
00:07:16,502 --> 00:07:17,696
Thanks.
92
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:26,937
McCleary story in yet, Bax?
93
00:07:32,485 --> 00:07:34,885
How'd you make out in the torture chamber?
94
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:40,450
This is good. Give it a big play.
Mac'll do a byline follow-up tomorrow.
95
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:43,825
- What are these?
- Pics for that Lonely Heart spread.
96
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:45,820
- Junk them.
- But I...
97
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:47,092
Take Peters off the Lonely Hearts.
98
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:48,997
He's photographing these slobs
like a lineup in a soup kitchen
99
00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:50,660
instead of panting for a red-hot romance.
100
00:07:50,736 --> 00:07:52,533
- Okay. But I...
- Yeah?
101
00:07:52,939 --> 00:07:54,566
Yes, Mr. Madison.
102
00:07:58,211 --> 00:08:00,611
- Get an ax, smear it with blood.
- Yeah? Whose?
103
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,171
Yours. If you can't spare any,
use chocolate syrup or something.
104
00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:07,652
Chocolate? Goody! When I'm through,
I can make a plate of fudge. Drop in.
105
00:08:08,721 --> 00:08:12,157
So, you still insist a woman having 20 kids
is worth a feature article?
106
00:08:12,225 --> 00:08:15,422
Hi, genius.
I think it's worth a whole front page.
107
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:18,391
It scares me, this maternal instinct of yours.
108
00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:20,955
Decided where you're taking me
to dinner tonight?
109
00:08:23,736 --> 00:08:25,966
If Chapman hasn't been canned,
110
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,169
you're going to dine with the worst loser
who ever paid off a bet.
111
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:31,608
Then you'd better stash some
bicarbonate soda in your bag, princess.
112
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:32,837
You're gonna need it.
113
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:35,437
Don't count your steaks
before you hear the sizzle.
114
00:08:37,617 --> 00:08:39,608
Well, what's the word? Are you ex or still?
115
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,880
They're not dumb enough
to throw out a winner.
116
00:08:41,954 --> 00:08:44,650
Congratulations. I knew you'd stick
their stocks right back in their teeth.
117
00:08:44,724 --> 00:08:46,555
I told them if they fired me,
McCleary would quit, too,
118
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:49,060
and then they'd be in real trouble.
119
00:08:49,128 --> 00:08:50,527
I wouldn't put it past them
to try and dump you
120
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:53,929
to get out of paying the bonus that's
staring them right in their glassy eyes.
121
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,331
I've got news for you.
122
00:08:55,401 --> 00:08:57,528
I'm going to cut you in
for a piece of that bonus.
123
00:08:57,603 --> 00:08:59,298
What do you want me to do, retire?
124
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:00,566
I thought we could make a deal with Madison
125
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,698
to buy some of the company's stock.
126
00:09:01,774 --> 00:09:03,901
You know, kid,
we could end up owning this newspaper.
127
00:09:03,976 --> 00:09:06,536
- Well, that's the best offer I've had all week.
- I'll make you another one.
128
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:09,080
I'll take you to dinner tonight.
You pick the spot.
129
00:09:10,349 --> 00:09:14,012
I'll make you a better offer.
My date's buying. She lost a bet.
130
00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:17,544
The Grand Duchess from Vassar again?
The way I feel, I can put up with anything.
131
00:09:17,623 --> 00:09:19,818
- I'm more worried, can she put up with you?
- Get her ready.
132
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:24,124
We've got to be at the ballroom at 8:00.
There's no time for nose powder.
133
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:32,597
Don't break your ears with that grin.
I can see. He's still in.
134
00:09:33,005 --> 00:09:36,532
- No loud whoops of joy, baby?
- Well, I tried everything.
135
00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:39,770
I crossed my fingers,
said prayers, burned candles.
136
00:09:39,845 --> 00:09:43,713
- Who's your tailor, princess?
- Let's get out of here.
137
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,075
I've had to look at that Chapman face all day.
138
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:50,714
I've got to cover his fiasco tonight
and suffer some more.
139
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:53,987
At least just looking at you for an hour
will be a welcome change.
140
00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:57,496
- Lf you're taking me to dinner, let's go.
- Taking him?
141
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,195
Wait a minute.
Our bet was between you and me.
142
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:03,463
Our bet was loser buys dinner.
We didn't say for how many.
143
00:10:03,536 --> 00:10:06,994
- Why, you double-crossing...
- I knew you'd be a good loser.
144
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:10,807
Someday remind me to tell you about girls.
145
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:20,248
You talk a couple of these suckers
into getting married.
146
00:10:20,319 --> 00:10:21,581
These Lonely Heart slobs got the gimmies,
147
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:23,519
and we've got plenty to give them
from the advertisers.
148
00:10:23,589 --> 00:10:25,284
If you talk one couple
into getting married by 9:00,
149
00:10:25,358 --> 00:10:27,883
by 12:00 we'll have a dozen lined up
for wedded bliss.
150
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,155
- McCleary, the Brooklyn cupid.
- McCleary, the human yes man.
151
00:10:30,229 --> 00:10:31,594
Hey, Julie!
152
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:34,155
- Hello, Charlie.
- Charlie.
153
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:38,225
- How are you, Barnes?
- Fine, Mark. You're looking fit. McCleary.
154
00:10:38,571 --> 00:10:39,595
Thank you.
155
00:10:39,672 --> 00:10:41,799
What goes on? Are you ghosting
Allison's features, Charlie?
156
00:10:41,874 --> 00:10:43,774
No, he's helping me with research
for that series
157
00:10:43,843 --> 00:10:45,640
on historical monuments in New York.
158
00:10:45,711 --> 00:10:47,872
You couldn't pick a better man.
I ought to know.
159
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:50,006
Remember those old days, Mark?
160
00:10:50,082 --> 00:10:53,813
Like the time I cut the phone cables
at the Lindbergh trial?
161
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:55,520
You scooped me. Almost cost me my job.
162
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:59,957
Scooped you, the wire services,
scooped everybody. That was the year...
163
00:11:00,026 --> 00:11:02,358
That was the year you won the Pulitzer Prize.
164
00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:06,826
Listen, Mark.
This stuff I've been doing for Julie, it's...
165
00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:13,200
- Mark, I think I'm ready to go back to work.
- That's fine. I'm glad to hear it, Charlie.
166
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,164
How about it, Mark? How about a job?
167
00:11:19,645 --> 00:11:21,510
- Why not?
- Thanks.
168
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:25,447
- Charlie, I'm so proud of you!
- This is gonna take a little juggling.
169
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:26,849
I won't be able to do anything right away.
170
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:28,978
Look, Charlie, I'll call you.
We're late, we gotta rush.
171
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:31,785
Sure, Mark, I know how it is,
always on the go.
172
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:35,258
- Coffee in the morning? Skinners?
- Sure thing, Julie.
173
00:11:40,199 --> 00:11:41,257
All the time I thought you were a...
174
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:43,699
- How much did you give him?
- $10. He earned it.
175
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:44,929
Ten bucks?
176
00:11:45,004 --> 00:11:47,336
- Buy a lot of whiskey.
- Did you see that rum-dumb?
177
00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:49,806
- Come midnight, he'll be in the gutter.
- Now, wait a minute.
178
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:51,274
He's an alky, Julie.
You shouldn't give an alky
179
00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:52,367
more than a buck at a time.
180
00:11:52,445 --> 00:11:55,414
You're liable to kill him.
Ten bucks, he can take a bath in it.
181
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:58,314
But... Well, this job
will change everything for him.
182
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:01,319
Job? I wouldn't have him in my office,
let alone on my staff.
183
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:04,117
In you go, sucker. Where are you going?
184
00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:07,085
I'm not going to let him go off believing this.
185
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:10,617
- Do you want to break his heart?
- Do I? What do you think you're doing?
186
00:12:10,696 --> 00:12:13,358
I'm giving him hopes and dreams.
A rummy like that lives on dreams.
187
00:12:13,432 --> 00:12:17,061
- He's happy. Why spoil it?
- Happy? Happy like your Lonely Hearts,
188
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,798
looking forward to those big romances
they've been promised?
189
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:23,069
- Only Charlie's romance is with a bottle.
- Get in.
190
00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:48,057
Biddle, don't leave that camera at half mast.
Stop goldbricking on the other guys.
191
00:12:48,134 --> 00:12:52,127
I must have got 100 shots already,
Mr. Chapman. My arm's giving out.
192
00:12:52,204 --> 00:12:56,334
You've only started. I want shots of people
from every state. Now start shooting.
193
00:12:58,911 --> 00:13:01,038
How are you doing, princess?
194
00:13:01,147 --> 00:13:04,116
Well, it's an effort,
but I'm trying to keep from screaming.
195
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:06,981
You were a real bundle of laughs
during dinner, too.
196
00:13:07,052 --> 00:13:08,781
Why don't you simmer down now?
197
00:13:08,854 --> 00:13:10,515
You're not so pretty
when your feathers are all ruffled.
198
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:13,183
Don't, Steve. I'm in no mood for levity.
199
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:17,491
- Do you feel like dancing?
- Do you figure that'll smooth my feathers?
200
00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:21,691
I've got a great idea for you. Grab yourself
one of these Lonely Heart boys.
201
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:25,066
Tell him you're a club date. Con him.
Get his life history.
202
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:28,903
- And there's your feature for tomorrow.
- Mark Chapman, Junior.
203
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:31,568
It'll sell papers, you left that out.
204
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:34,871
Happy hunting, cupid.
Mustn't let the boss down.
205
00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:38,312
Save at least one dance for me, princess.
206
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:58,034
Every time I aim my lens
at one of these walking zombies,
207
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:01,334
I think of the time
I covered the Miss America contest.
208
00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:03,705
The tears almost start to flow.
209
00:14:06,378 --> 00:14:09,370
From McCleary, you get nothing but service.
Ten minutes before 9:00,
210
00:14:09,448 --> 00:14:13,179
and couple number one. Mary and Joe
met in front of the Arkansas booth.
211
00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:16,221
It was love at first sight, almost. Right?
212
00:14:16,288 --> 00:14:20,349
Well, sure. I'm from Texas,
but I sure love that Arkansas cooking.
213
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,890
- You love her, don't you?
- Well, sure, I reckon so.
214
00:14:23,963 --> 00:14:26,158
- Mary, you love him?
- Yes.
215
00:14:26,966 --> 00:14:31,130
- See, they're crazy about each other.
- Yeah, that's fine. Hey, Edwards.
216
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:33,535
We've got a romance going here.
They're ready for the orange blossoms.
217
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,837
- Well, how do you do? And congratulations.
- Save the teeth for the bandstand.
218
00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:38,171
Get up there
and make the big announcement.
219
00:14:38,244 --> 00:14:42,044
Yes, sir, Mr. Chapman.
Come with me, you lucky, lucky people.
220
00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:46,842
Hey, you ain't gonna forget about the bed
with the built-in television set?
221
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:48,614
You'll spend your honeymoon in front of it.
222
00:14:51,624 --> 00:14:55,321
- Nice going, Steve, keep punching.
- I'll get the camera boys up to cover it.
223
00:14:57,129 --> 00:15:01,862
- Did you find a feature to write about yet?
- I haven't, and I don't intend to.
224
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:05,435
This bribing of poor, ignorant dopes
into a public wedding
225
00:15:05,504 --> 00:15:07,665
is cheap, cruel and disgusting.
226
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:10,573
This whole Wild West show is ridiculous,
and I want no part of it.
227
00:15:10,643 --> 00:15:13,305
Miss Allison,
your contract has six months to run.
228
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:17,281
My contract was made with Mr. Madison
before you took over the <i>Express.</i>
229
00:15:17,349 --> 00:15:18,543
If you don't like the way I run the paper,
230
00:15:18,617 --> 00:15:21,245
I have an agreement
that might be satisfactory to both of us.
231
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,811
Take six months' vacation with pay!
232
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:30,286
No, thank you, Mr. Chapman. I'll work it out.
I like my feature writing.
233
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,898
Thinking people like it, too,
234
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:37,561
even though there aren't many of them
buying the <i>Express</i> anymore. Good night!
235
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:43,605
That's it.
236
00:15:50,382 --> 00:15:53,613
<i>Friends, brothers and sisters</i>
<i>in the Lonely Hearts Club.</i>
237
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:55,677
<i>I have wonderful news for you,</i>
238
00:15:55,754 --> 00:15:59,747
<i>living proof that this magnificent club</i>
<i>is more than just a name.</i>
239
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:04,386
<i>But first, how would you like to meet</i>
<i>the great man who created your club?</i>
240
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:11,998
<i>Mr. Mark Chapman,</i>
<i>editor of the</i> New York Express.
241
00:16:12,071 --> 00:16:14,665
<i>Put the spotlight on him, over there!</i>
242
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,782
<i>Now here's the wonderful news.</i>
243
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:37,056
<i>Meet Mary and Joe, two happy people</i>
<i>who came here tonight as total strangers.</i>
244
00:16:37,463 --> 00:16:42,400
<i>They met, they danced, they found love.</i>
<i>They're going to get married!</i>
245
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,474
George?
246
00:16:57,516 --> 00:17:00,041
<i>- As the first couple who fell in love tonight...</i>
- George Grant!
247
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:01,814
<i>...Mary and Joe will receive...</i>
- It is you!
248
00:17:01,887 --> 00:17:03,752
<i>...compliments of the</i> Express...
- Charlotte.
249
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:05,119
<i>... a wedding night in a New York hotel...</i>
250
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:08,921
Finding you here...
I was so sure that you must be dead.
251
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:11,759
George Grant is dead.
252
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:14,259
Yes, I just heard.
253
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,134
- You're the...
- We can't talk here.
254
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:19,901
We can talk at my place, George.
255
00:17:20,806 --> 00:17:23,036
We've got a lot to talk about.
256
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:26,509
Go on out. I'll meet you at the side entrance.
257
00:17:32,785 --> 00:17:35,151
The years have been kinder to you.
258
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:38,621
What is it, 19, 20?
I used to keep track, but I don't...
259
00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:41,716
What's the difference?
Now that you found me, what do you want?
260
00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:57,401
May I?
261
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:07,375
- Come on, quit stalling around.
- What was it they called you at the ball?
262
00:18:07,453 --> 00:18:08,977
- Mark?
- Chapman.
263
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:15,755
When did you change your name, George?
Right after you left me?
264
00:18:17,062 --> 00:18:18,962
So I wouldn't find you?
265
00:18:19,631 --> 00:18:21,292
You knew I was so crazy about you
266
00:18:21,366 --> 00:18:24,028
I'd look and look and look,
didn't you, George?
267
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,697
Come on, get to it. What do you want?
268
00:18:27,739 --> 00:18:32,574
You're still in a hurry, aren't you?
That's the thing I remember best about you.
269
00:18:32,878 --> 00:18:37,645
The fellow who always ran and never walked.
Had to get places fast!
270
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,749
And you got places, didn't you, George?
271
00:18:44,323 --> 00:18:46,883
Here, you need some money?
Here's some for now.
272
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,860
Money? The payoff, George?
273
00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:54,497
How much? How much for each year?
274
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:58,633
How much for the agony
and the heartbreak and the fear?
275
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:03,141
- Charlotte, cut the ham act.
- This could be for the doctor bill, see?
276
00:19:06,578 --> 00:19:10,173
I was 20 years younger then,
took things more seriously.
277
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:14,142
I can't imagine how much.
278
00:19:15,254 --> 00:19:18,087
You're boring me now, like you always did.
279
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:20,388
People always bored you
280
00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:23,155
when you didn't have
any more use for them, didn't they, George?
281
00:19:23,228 --> 00:19:25,025
Bores and nuisances, I get rid of them.
282
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:27,497
Yeah, the same gentle way
you got rid of me.
283
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:28,692
My lawyer will get in touch with you.
284
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:31,702
He'll arrange a quiet divorce
and generous alimony.
285
00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:34,671
You're an important man now,
aren't you, George?
286
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:37,038
Editor of the <i>New York Express.</i>
287
00:19:38,977 --> 00:19:43,346
I never thought I'd be the wife of the editor
of a big New York newspaper.
288
00:19:43,415 --> 00:19:47,112
You're not, and don't get any ideas
about forcing yourself.
289
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:51,020
You've got nothing to gain by refusing me
a divorce now like you did 20 years ago.
290
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:56,759
I was young then and so foolishly in love.
I wanted so much to hold onto you.
291
00:19:57,496 --> 00:20:00,021
I made all of my mistakes when I was young,
and you were the biggest one.
292
00:20:00,098 --> 00:20:02,794
I fell for an attractive hunk of flesh.
293
00:20:04,169 --> 00:20:07,627
"Hold me." You didn't try to hang on.
You strangled me.
294
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,936
I'd smother to death with you.
295
00:20:15,747 --> 00:20:19,808
Turnabout's fair play.
When you walked out on me, I died inside.
296
00:20:20,352 --> 00:20:23,116
When I walk out of here, you're gonna die.
297
00:20:23,188 --> 00:20:27,852
Everything you worked for, grabbed for,
ruined people to get, it's all gonna die!
298
00:20:27,926 --> 00:20:29,393
You're a neurotic screwball!
299
00:20:29,461 --> 00:20:33,955
I'm gonna spread your story all over town.
Mark Chapman, the great editor!
300
00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:37,829
Wife deserter!
Living under a false name for 20 years.
301
00:20:39,137 --> 00:20:42,334
What else did you cover up
living under a phony name?
302
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:44,637
Your publishers are gonna love this.
303
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:49,044
And the other papers, they'll cut you
to ribbons with this information!
304
00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,470
Hi, honey, let me have the city room.
305
00:23:33,812 --> 00:23:37,179
This is Elkins.
If you need me, I'm over in Skinners.
306
00:23:38,316 --> 00:23:41,808
What? Having breakfast. Yeah, breakfast.
307
00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:53,323
Yes, Julie, after that fortunate
and historical meeting with Mark yesterday,
308
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:57,629
I had considerable difficulty
wooing the fickle Morpheus.
309
00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:01,939
That explains it.
Those bleeding eyes today.
310
00:24:02,474 --> 00:24:05,341
Well, I did have a couple
with the boys down below.
311
00:24:05,410 --> 00:24:08,277
A sort of celebration, and then farewell.
312
00:24:11,049 --> 00:24:13,574
You should have left them long ago, Charlie.
313
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:15,916
Any man who was big enough
in his day to rate that,
314
00:24:16,555 --> 00:24:20,389
a place in Skinner's Hall of Fame,
is still too big for Dead-End Street.
315
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:25,028
No regrets, Julie. My temporary alliance
with the denizens of the Bowery
316
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:29,863
has provided me with a deeper insight
into the whys and wherefores of mankind.
317
00:24:35,674 --> 00:24:38,006
A proven medical fact,
when the human system
318
00:24:38,076 --> 00:24:40,840
has been lengthily nurtured
on alcoholic stimulants,
319
00:24:40,912 --> 00:24:44,871
any abrupt cessation of same
will result in a negative reaction.
320
00:24:45,016 --> 00:24:46,381
Absolutely.
321
00:24:47,652 --> 00:24:52,385
But I'm tapering off. I'll be a firmly-rooted
passenger on the old water wagon
322
00:24:52,524 --> 00:24:54,856
by the time Mark's ready for me.
323
00:24:57,295 --> 00:25:01,561
Charlie, don't bet everything
on Mark Chapman.
324
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:06,666
He won't let me down.
First time I felt ready, I asked him for a job,
325
00:25:06,938 --> 00:25:10,032
and what happened?
He offered me one, didn't he?
326
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:15,173
- Mr. Lonely Heart.
- Compliments of the <i>Express,</i> Myrtle.
327
00:25:15,747 --> 00:25:18,545
- I see you read. You stick with the radio.
- Yeah.
328
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:20,744
Hey, McCleary,
I read that rag of yours by accident.
329
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:23,287
Yeah, me, too.
From ax murder to Ionely hearts.
330
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:25,653
What are you trying to prove,
you're versatile or something?
331
00:25:25,724 --> 00:25:27,885
What are you gentlemen
reading our rag for?
332
00:25:27,959 --> 00:25:30,427
Trying to find out
what's happening that's news?
333
00:25:30,495 --> 00:25:32,929
Good morning, kiddies. What's the word?
334
00:25:35,066 --> 00:25:36,624
Silly, that's the word.
335
00:25:36,701 --> 00:25:38,635
Still a heaping bunch of joy,
aren't you, princess?
336
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:43,663
Lonely Hearts Ball. Journalism has certainly
changed since the old days.
337
00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:47,302
What happened to you last night?
Pulled a fast fade on me.
338
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:50,712
- Don't tell me you actually missed me?
- I needed protection.
339
00:25:50,782 --> 00:25:53,250
Some of our love-hungry subscribers
got mixed up.
340
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:56,014
They were offering me deep-freezes
and vacuum cleaners.
341
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:59,318
- I'm surprised you refused.
- How do you know I did?
342
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:02,849
Certainly heavy coverage
on the unrequited passion set.
343
00:26:03,261 --> 00:26:06,924
Our love and romance edition, Charlie.
Even the crossword puzzle.
344
00:26:06,998 --> 00:26:08,966
But nothing from the Allison corner.
345
00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:12,335
Not interested in romance, Julie?
346
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:16,465
Not the kind that blossoms
on free gas stoves and television sets.
347
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:21,235
- About that Lonely Heart gag, I've got a...
- Steve, on the radio.
348
00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:27,652
- Julie. Hi, Charlie.
- Hi, Biddle.
349
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:31,086
Police call. Dead dame in a flat
on Third Avenue. Are you interested?
350
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:33,090
Well, she'd probably be a cheerful change.
351
00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:36,685
I'm still getting the icebox treatment
from the female on my left.
352
00:26:36,761 --> 00:26:40,162
After them scarecrows I shot last night,
I figure my luck's gotta change.
353
00:26:40,231 --> 00:26:43,428
Even dead, this dame's bound
to have more glamour.
354
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:45,467
Let's give her a look.
355
00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:48,801
Thanks for the coffee, kitten.
356
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:03,785
Another scarecrow. I'm batting goose eggs.
357
00:27:05,323 --> 00:27:07,848
Dames have got to make trouble
even when they die, don't they, pal?
358
00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:11,384
Yeah, water downstairs and water upstairs.
359
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:14,531
Probably wanted a room
with a swimming pool.
360
00:27:14,966 --> 00:27:16,866
Hey, Davis, what are you doing here?
361
00:27:16,935 --> 00:27:21,031
I just wanted to see if I couldn't get
to one of our calls before you did.
362
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:22,471
This isn't a homicide?
363
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:24,531
We got a new man
on the beat here, McCleary.
364
00:27:24,609 --> 00:27:26,167
He's built like you between the ears.
365
00:27:26,244 --> 00:27:29,975
He saw a hole in the back of the dame's head
and figured she was slugged.
366
00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:31,515
What's your guess, Lieutenant?
367
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:33,949
She put the hole
in the back of her head herself?
368
00:27:34,019 --> 00:27:36,783
Yeah, wise-eyes, that's it. That's it exactly.
369
00:27:36,855 --> 00:27:40,291
She slipped in the tub
and opened her skull on a faucet.
370
00:27:40,358 --> 00:27:43,953
- What was the lady's name, Sherlock?
- The landlady says Jane Jones.
371
00:27:44,029 --> 00:27:45,360
- Do you believe it?
- Yeah, I believe it.
372
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:47,762
I'm fresh out of nursery school.
373
00:27:48,466 --> 00:27:52,402
Jane Jones, alias Jane Doe.
Say, Dave, you're really humming.
374
00:27:53,204 --> 00:27:56,401
Look, nuisance, if you so much as make
these bedsprings squeak once again,
375
00:27:56,474 --> 00:28:00,308
- I'll throw you in the tub with the dame.
- Lieutenant, please.
376
00:28:04,616 --> 00:28:08,177
You're wrong, Dave.
She was murdered. Clear as your head.
377
00:28:09,187 --> 00:28:10,347
Murdered for her money.
378
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:13,949
Why, this lady must have spent easily
six or seven dollars a year on clothes.
379
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:15,492
Why don't you go home, McCleary?
380
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,462
There's nothing around here
to interest a big newsman like you.
381
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:27,827
Look, junior, keep your nose
in your own business, or I'll run you in
382
00:28:27,906 --> 00:28:31,137
- for obstruction, suspicion and vagrancy.
- Why, sure, Dave.
383
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:33,837
I just thought there might be something
in here to help identify her.
384
00:28:33,912 --> 00:28:35,243
No suitcase, huh?
385
00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:41,715
- In there, boys.
- Okay, Steve, I got all I need.
386
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:46,957
Thanks, Dave.
387
00:28:49,127 --> 00:28:52,062
- No, not you two again.
- What do you guys do,
388
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:54,758
smell these things
before the police call is even in?
389
00:28:54,833 --> 00:28:57,301
Try to forget your mugs.
There's a lady in the bathroom.
390
00:28:57,368 --> 00:29:00,531
- Yes, so knock before entering.
- Coming through.
391
00:29:10,381 --> 00:29:12,406
- What'd you pinch that for?
- Look familiar?
392
00:29:12,484 --> 00:29:15,544
I had them in front of me all night, didn't I?
393
00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:18,747
Hey, that's off a Lonely Hearts badge!
394
00:29:18,823 --> 00:29:22,554
Yeah. How many pictures
did you and the boys take at the ball?
395
00:29:22,627 --> 00:29:24,925
Three, maybe four hundred. I don't know.
396
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:27,260
Rush the print of Miss Bathtub
through the lab.
397
00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:28,594
Then check it against the others.
398
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:30,964
- See if you can match them up, okay?
- Sure.
399
00:29:31,035 --> 00:29:34,937
- Shouldn't take more than a week.
- Yeah, but I want it done in an hour.
400
00:29:35,006 --> 00:29:36,701
- I'll see you at the office.
- Where are you going?
401
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:39,903
I'm gonna hitch a ride to the morgue.
If you match them, call me.
402
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,674
How about a ride to the morgue, Pete?
403
00:30:04,969 --> 00:30:07,096
Hey, Needle Nellie, anybody home?
404
00:30:07,172 --> 00:30:08,662
Hey, handsome.
405
00:30:09,007 --> 00:30:11,271
- How you doing, sweetheart?
- Doing all right, handsome.
406
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:13,037
Come here and give us a kiss.
407
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,815
- How's business at the morgue, Nellie?
- Dead.
408
00:30:19,551 --> 00:30:21,178
Business is dead.
409
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:25,621
- It's good to see you, handsome.
- Likewise, sweetheart.
410
00:30:25,690 --> 00:30:27,385
A long time between dates.
411
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:30,621
But right now,
I come seeking your expert female advice.
412
00:30:30,695 --> 00:30:34,131
Anybody that's lived as long as me
can give it. Shoot.
413
00:30:34,732 --> 00:30:37,565
Nellie, if you had just one dress
to your name
414
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:39,535
and you'd fastened something onto it
with a safety pin,
415
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:40,969
and maybe you were in a hurry,
416
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,008
would you take time to undo the pin,
or would you rip the whole thing off?
417
00:30:44,075 --> 00:30:46,305
- This is a riddle?
- No, seriously.
418
00:30:46,377 --> 00:30:51,041
Well, if I had 10 dresses and the house
was burning down, I'd still undo the pin.
419
00:30:51,115 --> 00:30:52,639
Any lady would.
420
00:30:53,017 --> 00:30:55,485
That's what I figured.
I just wanted a woman to confirm it.
421
00:30:55,553 --> 00:30:57,453
I love you, Nellie. I love you.
422
00:30:57,522 --> 00:31:00,047
- Where you going, handsome?
- I gotta see the doc.
423
00:31:00,124 --> 00:31:01,955
Maybe I can get you some business, Nellie.
424
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:11,364
Did you get those ringside ducats
I sent you?
425
00:31:11,436 --> 00:31:13,427
Steve! Yeah, it was a great fight.
426
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:15,438
Mishke really tore that Haybelly apart,
didn't he?
427
00:31:15,506 --> 00:31:19,840
Had so much blood spattered on my glasses,
I missed the knockout punch.
428
00:31:20,478 --> 00:31:24,175
Look, Doc,
they just brought in an accidental death.
429
00:31:24,249 --> 00:31:27,047
- They're putting her in the freezer right now.
- So?
430
00:31:27,118 --> 00:31:30,110
So, I'd like you to give her
the onceover for me. An autopsy.
431
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:33,646
Accidents are out of my province.
You know that, Steve.
432
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:35,383
It's going to be
a great World Series this year.
433
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:37,087
Yeah, that it is.
434
00:31:37,528 --> 00:31:41,362
I don't suppose you'd be interested
in viewing the festivities from a box seat?
435
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:47,132
Are you trying to bribe a city official?
436
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:51,135
Right behind first base, Doc.
437
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:11,028
Yeah. Yeah, get some prints ready.
I think we've got our front page.
438
00:32:11,095 --> 00:32:14,792
Well, this is your lucky day. Drop back,
I want you to mark my racing form.
439
00:32:14,866 --> 00:32:16,766
Get the door, will you?
440
00:32:17,368 --> 00:32:20,064
Yeah, and don't forget, I smoke cigars.
441
00:32:20,838 --> 00:32:24,831
- Hey, Steve, let me wipe those off a little.
- Wipe them tomorrow.
442
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:32,008
Will you smile again
if I take you to dinner tonight?
443
00:32:32,083 --> 00:32:34,847
- A little celebration coming up.
- What's the celebration?
444
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:37,649
Another McCleary scoop.
Getting monotonous, isn't it?
445
00:32:37,722 --> 00:32:42,557
That dinner. A two-party celebration,
or are you bringing a friend?
446
00:32:42,694 --> 00:32:44,559
Just you and me alone.
447
00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:47,825
I'll smile again.
What are the fragile treasures?
448
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:52,060
Very rare items.
Pictures of a dame with her mouth shut.
449
00:32:53,071 --> 00:32:55,972
- Joey, catch the door, will you?
- All right.
450
00:32:58,676 --> 00:33:01,270
I've been waiting a long time
for a chance to say this.
451
00:33:01,346 --> 00:33:03,439
- Stop the presses!
- Did you get a morning-after story
452
00:33:03,514 --> 00:33:05,004
on any of those couples
we married last night?
453
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:07,483
I got a story from one
of the Lonely Heart Ball guests, all right.
454
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:11,079
But she didn't get married last night.
She got murdered!
455
00:33:19,964 --> 00:33:23,263
- Who is she?
- A Jane Doe. Nobody knows her real name.
456
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:25,996
The police think she slipped in the bathtub
and bashed her head in,
457
00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:30,507
- or they did until a little while ago.
- But you knew better all the time?
458
00:33:30,575 --> 00:33:32,941
After Doc O'Hanlon got through
cutting her up for me.
459
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:36,538
She died between 9:00 and 12:00 last night,
before she went under in the tub.
460
00:33:36,614 --> 00:33:38,479
No water in her lungs.
461
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:40,283
Did he find anything else?
462
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:44,788
Yeah, her killer was a man, middle-aged,
fair complexion. Had brown hair.
463
00:33:45,390 --> 00:33:47,620
O'Hanlon found that
in scraping under her fingernails.
464
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:50,593
You ran into this
just by playing a hunch, huh?
465
00:33:50,661 --> 00:33:53,858
A string from a Lonely Heart badge
was on her dress in the closet.
466
00:33:53,931 --> 00:33:57,628
The badge had been torn off.
I followed through from there.
467
00:34:00,371 --> 00:34:04,364
Well, is this a story,
this Lonely Heart murdered after the ball?
468
00:34:04,575 --> 00:34:06,805
Can you sell papers with this?
469
00:34:10,248 --> 00:34:13,342
Baxter, Jordan, Allison,
get in here right away.
470
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:15,477
They didn't know her name, you said?
471
00:34:15,553 --> 00:34:18,920
Well, she called herself Jane Jones.
How phony can you get?
472
00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:20,014
We've just been struck by lightning.
473
00:34:20,091 --> 00:34:22,025
It's a great follow-up
for the Lonely Hearts Ball.
474
00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:24,118
Tell them about it, Steve.
475
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:30,997
We'll call her Miss Lonely Heart,
no other name. Alone in the city, friendless.
476
00:34:31,536 --> 00:34:34,801
She went to our shindig last night,
hunting for a soul mate.
477
00:34:34,872 --> 00:34:37,363
Maybe she found one, the wrong one.
478
00:34:37,608 --> 00:34:39,872
Anyway, she left early,
and sometime before midnight
479
00:34:39,944 --> 00:34:41,343
she was beaten to death in her room
480
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:44,540
by a brown-haired, middle-aged man
of fair complexion.
481
00:34:44,615 --> 00:34:46,480
A smash follow-up is right.
482
00:34:46,551 --> 00:34:49,247
The killer had a head full of brains.
Good nerves.
483
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,723
He lugged her to the bathroom,
stripped her, tossed the body in the tub.
484
00:34:54,459 --> 00:34:58,520
No. No, he stood the body in the tub.
Aimed, let go!
485
00:34:58,696 --> 00:35:03,190
Bang, her head cracks the faucet.
Almost perfect crime. Ordinary accident.
486
00:35:04,035 --> 00:35:06,936
He's working smartly,
a guy with imagination.
487
00:35:07,004 --> 00:35:10,963
He takes her slip, stockings,
washes them, hangs them up to dry.
488
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,000
He wipes his prints off everywhere.
489
00:35:13,077 --> 00:35:16,274
He starts getting rid of anything
that could identify her.
490
00:35:16,347 --> 00:35:18,907
He took a ring off her,
probably a wedding or engagement ring.
491
00:35:18,983 --> 00:35:22,111
- How do you know that?
- Whitish circle, third finger, left hand.
492
00:35:22,186 --> 00:35:25,587
- O'Hanlon spotted it at the morgue.
- All right, go on, go on.
493
00:35:25,656 --> 00:35:27,954
Well, he grabs any other personal items
that might identify her
494
00:35:28,025 --> 00:35:29,856
and throws them in her suitcase and blows.
495
00:35:29,927 --> 00:35:32,361
- How do you know she's got a suitcase?
- Every dame's got a suitcase.
496
00:35:32,430 --> 00:35:34,022
But there wasn't one
in Miss Lonely Heart's room.
497
00:35:34,098 --> 00:35:35,861
This'll kick up the circulation.
498
00:35:36,701 --> 00:35:40,137
We can make the 5:00 edition exclusive.
Steve can do the lead story.
499
00:35:40,204 --> 00:35:42,263
Jordan, I want three column cuts
of the dame's picture at the ball
500
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:44,433
and the murder photo.
Allison, write me a sob story,
501
00:35:44,509 --> 00:35:46,568
"Miss Lonely Heart
won't be Ionely anymore."
502
00:35:46,644 --> 00:35:47,736
Fine job, Steve.
503
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,303
Sure, it's a great job,
but we're gonna top it.
504
00:35:50,381 --> 00:35:51,439
How?
505
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,513
- Bury her.
- Bury her?
506
00:35:57,555 --> 00:35:59,682
The best story I ever dug up, and he tops it.
507
00:35:59,757 --> 00:36:02,157
By 5:00 tonight, Miss Lonely Heart
will be selling newspapers for us
508
00:36:02,226 --> 00:36:05,923
on every street corner in Manhattan.
Now, go on, get going.
509
00:37:42,126 --> 00:37:43,787
Be seeing you, Humpty.
510
00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:31,269
Look, I've shown you everything in the shop.
That's the last one I've got!
511
00:38:35,513 --> 00:38:36,605
Mark!
512
00:38:39,283 --> 00:38:41,217
- Mark, old boy!
- How are you, Charlie.
513
00:38:41,285 --> 00:38:45,085
What distasteful mission brings you to this
unholy neighborhood, Mark, my friend?
514
00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:46,589
I'm just looking around.
I like to keep my hand in,
515
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,124
even though I am strapped
to a desk right now.
516
00:38:48,192 --> 00:38:50,126
You wouldn't mean you're keeping
your hand in by working
517
00:38:50,194 --> 00:38:51,821
on this Lonely Heart murder,
would you, now, Mark?
518
00:38:51,896 --> 00:38:53,955
I've got a staff to take care of that for me.
519
00:38:54,031 --> 00:38:56,727
You can't kid an old newshound
like me, Mark.
520
00:38:56,801 --> 00:39:00,999
Still following our old formula,
first check the hock shops for a clue?
521
00:39:01,072 --> 00:39:03,336
Didn't wanna tip your hand
to those cops in there, did you?
522
00:39:03,407 --> 00:39:05,637
I tell you I'm not down here on business.
Now stop playing hawkshaw!
523
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:08,770
Let me show you Charlie Barnes
still has the master's touch
524
00:39:08,846 --> 00:39:11,713
- when it comes to following up a lead, Mark.
- Tell me about it later, will you,
525
00:39:11,782 --> 00:39:15,684
- when you come back to work for me?
- You're afraid I'll get drunk and tip the story.
526
00:39:15,753 --> 00:39:18,881
- I'm tapering off, Mark.
- That's fine, Charlie. I'll call you.
527
00:39:18,956 --> 00:39:23,825
Let me work this with you, Mark. I know
this whole district from gutter to rum-heads.
528
00:39:23,894 --> 00:39:26,226
Pete in the pawnshop's
an honored friend of mine.
529
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:27,992
- Yeah.
- I can get him to work with me and...
530
00:39:28,065 --> 00:39:30,898
- Hello, Charlie!
- Go away.
531
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:35,400
- Here, Charlie, here's something to count.
- I don't want a handout, Mark.
532
00:39:35,473 --> 00:39:37,498
- I want to work.
- You can pay me later. I'll call you, Charlie.
533
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:39,338
Mark, let me help...
534
00:40:13,544 --> 00:40:14,704
Hang onto them, Pete.
535
00:40:14,779 --> 00:40:17,873
We'll drop back payday
and look them over again.
536
00:40:25,022 --> 00:40:26,489
Them guys should wear glasses.
537
00:40:26,557 --> 00:40:29,185
They do so much looking,
but never no buying.
538
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:31,125
Get this for me, Pete.
539
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:34,356
Taking something out for a change
instead of putting it in, Charlie?
540
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:37,526
I admit to the novelty of the occasion, Peter.
541
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:50,109
- Hey, you didn't hock this with me.
- Doing a favor for a friend.
542
00:40:52,082 --> 00:40:56,178
Them cops. You know, if someday
they should buy something from me, I'd...
543
00:40:56,253 --> 00:40:59,620
No, that'd be bad. I'd drop dead.
544
00:41:02,226 --> 00:41:06,185
You know, Charlie, I ought to be
in some other kind of business.
545
00:41:06,697 --> 00:41:10,497
You really meet a very poor class of people
in this business.
546
00:41:10,768 --> 00:41:13,259
Not meaning anything personal,
you understand.
547
00:41:13,337 --> 00:41:16,773
But I'm always dealing with people
who are in trouble,
548
00:41:17,274 --> 00:41:21,608
people who gotta hock something.
People who gotta buy something cheap.
549
00:41:24,582 --> 00:41:28,109
I don't like cheap things.
I never did and I never will.
550
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:34,356
I should have been big fur man, maybe,
or big jewelry man.
551
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,651
Then I could deal with rich people.
552
00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:42,554
That's the kind of people
I really prefer to deal with.
553
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:47,694
- Hey! How much is on this ticket?
- Two bucks.
554
00:41:58,249 --> 00:41:59,841
Here, sign here.
555
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:08,424
You know, sometimes they say
even the rich people aren't happy.
556
00:42:08,492 --> 00:42:11,017
But how that could be, I don't know.
557
00:42:12,296 --> 00:42:15,857
Thank you, Peter.
Thank you for being in business!
558
00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:21,433
Thank you very much.
559
00:42:33,517 --> 00:42:35,041
A shot, Heeney.
560
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:38,614
You look like your blood pressure's boiling,
Charlie. What's the matter?
561
00:42:38,689 --> 00:42:40,680
The classic irony of the age, Heeney.
562
00:42:40,758 --> 00:42:43,659
Charlie Barnes, a stewbum,
rocking the newspaper world
563
00:42:43,727 --> 00:42:46,457
like he never did in all his sober days.
564
00:43:00,411 --> 00:43:02,208
- Composing.
- Yes, sir.
565
00:43:04,481 --> 00:43:07,712
Yes. Yes, madam,
I have two answers for you.
566
00:43:08,185 --> 00:43:11,313
First, you shouldn't talk
to strange men in bars.
567
00:43:11,388 --> 00:43:13,982
Second, because he asked you to marry him
568
00:43:14,058 --> 00:43:16,356
then hit you with a pretzel dish
when you refused
569
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:19,191
isn't conclusive proof
he's our Lonely Heart Killer,
570
00:43:19,263 --> 00:43:21,697
but thanks for calling, lady. Bye.
571
00:43:23,334 --> 00:43:26,326
Phony or not,
those tips belong to the police.
572
00:43:26,704 --> 00:43:30,299
When are you going to get rid of the idea
you're wearing an invisible badge?
573
00:43:30,374 --> 00:43:34,140
Julie Allison. Hello, Charlie. How are you?
574
00:43:36,714 --> 00:43:38,181
The Lonely Heart murder?
575
00:43:38,248 --> 00:43:42,844
And you've got to meet me right away.
We have to figure out how to handle this.
576
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,514
I know the killer, and it's dynamite.
577
00:43:46,757 --> 00:43:48,952
Well, Charlie,
that story is really Steve McCleary's.
578
00:43:49,026 --> 00:43:52,587
- I think you'd better talk to...
- No, no, Julie, I want you to have this.
579
00:43:52,663 --> 00:43:55,393
Now I can repay you, Julie child,
for everything.
580
00:43:55,466 --> 00:43:59,596
Julie, this is so... It's so tremendous,
it'll put both of us on top.
581
00:44:02,272 --> 00:44:04,035
What? What, Julie?
582
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:08,835
Okay, okay, both of you meet me.
583
00:44:08,912 --> 00:44:11,540
Maybe we will need
somebody like McCleary.
584
00:44:11,615 --> 00:44:14,175
Steve, Charlie says
he has information on the murder.
585
00:44:14,251 --> 00:44:18,654
- He's awfully excited about something.
- About two quarts full, probably.
586
00:44:19,890 --> 00:44:21,881
Yeah, Charlie, what's up?
587
00:44:22,726 --> 00:44:25,695
I wanted Julie to have this,
but she insists you be on in it.
588
00:44:25,763 --> 00:44:27,663
I mean you be in on it.
589
00:44:27,965 --> 00:44:30,297
- What's the matter, Charlie?
- No.
590
00:44:31,368 --> 00:44:34,462
- What? You're not sore, are you?
- No, go away!
591
00:44:36,006 --> 00:44:38,099
What? What have I got?
592
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:40,939
I've got the Lonely Heart Killer for you,
that's what!
593
00:44:41,011 --> 00:44:44,777
Gee, Charlie, that's great.
You getting him crocked so he'll confess?
594
00:44:44,848 --> 00:44:48,807
I haven't got him. I know who he is.
595
00:44:54,858 --> 00:44:55,950
What?
596
00:44:59,563 --> 00:45:03,465
Yes, I'm in a saloon.
I'm in Heeney's. But I'm not drunk.
597
00:45:04,034 --> 00:45:07,128
I've just taken the hottest story
of the century out of hock, and I'm gonna...
598
00:45:08,038 --> 00:45:11,064
He's really flying tonight.
See what your 10 bucks did?
599
00:45:11,141 --> 00:45:15,009
Stop treating him like some
weak-minded child. Listen to what he's got.
600
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:19,482
- He's not this excited for nothing.
- You know what he's got? The DTs.
601
00:45:19,616 --> 00:45:21,675
Charlie Barnes, tanked to the eyeballs,
602
00:45:21,752 --> 00:45:24,880
says he just took the Lonely Heart
murder solution out of hock.
603
00:45:26,056 --> 00:45:29,583
Hello, Charlie?
Still there? Let's start all over again.
604
00:45:30,294 --> 00:45:34,788
Listen, you mental midget. The only reason
I'm calling the <i>Express</i> is Julie Allison.
605
00:45:34,865 --> 00:45:37,732
Before I'd give this story
to an insolent young pup like you,
606
00:45:37,801 --> 00:45:39,792
I'd take it to the <i>Daily Leader!</i>
607
00:45:39,870 --> 00:45:42,304
Charlie's mad now.
Gonna sell it to the <i>Leader.</i>
608
00:45:42,372 --> 00:45:46,069
- Hang up on the drunken slob.
- Julie? She just left.
609
00:45:46,477 --> 00:45:48,570
I guess we'll just have to read your story
in the <i>Leader</i> tomorrow.
610
00:45:48,645 --> 00:45:50,772
- So long, pal.
- Give me that.
611
00:45:51,815 --> 00:45:53,077
- Hello? Hello?
- Don't be silly, Julie.
612
00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:55,141
He'll just keep you up all night
listening to his fairytales.
613
00:45:55,219 --> 00:45:59,349
- Where was he calling from?
- Bellevue psycho ward, I think he said.
614
00:46:00,257 --> 00:46:01,747
Your 10 bucks.
615
00:47:13,697 --> 00:47:15,460
- Keep this for me, Heeney.
- Why, sure, Charlie.
616
00:47:15,532 --> 00:47:17,056
A couple hours.
617
00:47:17,868 --> 00:47:20,359
One more, Heeney. One for the road.
618
00:48:05,215 --> 00:48:06,739
Hello, Charlie.
619
00:48:10,420 --> 00:48:13,617
Mark. I thought you were still down
at the Bowery.
620
00:48:15,692 --> 00:48:18,024
I hear you got a story, Charlie.
621
00:48:18,195 --> 00:48:20,060
Where'd you hear that?
622
00:48:20,597 --> 00:48:25,364
- Isn't that what you told McCleary?
- Why, I was just schmoozing him, I...
623
00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:28,295
Lining him up for a little touch.
624
00:48:28,372 --> 00:48:31,432
I gave you some money.
What did you do with it?
625
00:48:31,775 --> 00:48:33,333
You didn't, by any chance,
find a pawn ticket
626
00:48:33,410 --> 00:48:36,379
- mixed in with the money, did you, Charlie?
- Pawn ticket? Why, I...
627
00:48:36,446 --> 00:48:40,177
Did you use the money
to get the story out of hock, Charlie?
628
00:48:41,218 --> 00:48:44,585
You've got something that belongs to me.
Where is it?
629
00:48:45,389 --> 00:48:47,220
You were on the way to the <i>Leader</i>
with some evidence.
630
00:48:47,291 --> 00:48:49,725
Where is it, Charlie? Where is it?
631
00:49:01,905 --> 00:49:04,738
It's a wonderful story, isn't it, Charlie?
632
00:49:05,509 --> 00:49:07,909
You wanted to be a big man, Mark.
633
00:49:08,745 --> 00:49:12,476
This will make you famous
beyond your most ambitious dreams.
634
00:49:13,884 --> 00:49:18,412
Great story?
I've waited all my life for a story like this.
635
00:49:19,456 --> 00:49:23,483
Well, you've got it, Charlie.
But you're not going to write it.
636
00:49:27,130 --> 00:49:30,622
You're crazy, Mark.
Twenty years you've covered the news.
637
00:49:30,701 --> 00:49:33,761
Seen the bright boys try this. It never works.
638
00:49:56,493 --> 00:49:59,587
We just heard about Charlie Barnes.
Rotten deal.
639
00:50:00,163 --> 00:50:04,293
It's hard when it's someone like Charlie
you've known for 22 years.
640
00:50:04,401 --> 00:50:06,164
I knew him 25 years.
641
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:10,167
I never expected to see him
laying on a slab in this place.
642
00:50:10,507 --> 00:50:15,001
Is that right, Doc? Was he found
in an alleyway across from the <i>Daily Leader?</i>
643
00:50:15,078 --> 00:50:17,205
- Steve...
- Yes, that's right.
644
00:50:17,447 --> 00:50:20,439
The <i>Daily Leader.</i> He had a story!
645
00:50:20,517 --> 00:50:23,509
But he was taking your clever,
insolent, fresh-guy advice
646
00:50:23,587 --> 00:50:27,216
- and giving it to the <i>Leader!</i>
- He was drunk, Julie. How could I know...
647
00:50:27,290 --> 00:50:29,656
Charlie Barnes never got so drunk
he didn't know a story!
648
00:50:29,726 --> 00:50:33,492
Or that he'd try to peddle
a phony tip to a newspaper! But you...
649
00:50:33,563 --> 00:50:35,394
You couldn't bother listening to him!
650
00:50:35,465 --> 00:50:38,798
You and that newsprint hero of yours,
Mark Chapman.
651
00:50:39,269 --> 00:50:41,032
You couldn't expect us to believe
that Charlie Barnes
652
00:50:41,104 --> 00:50:43,129
had any real information
on the murder, Julie.
653
00:50:43,206 --> 00:50:45,231
We still don't know that he did.
654
00:50:45,308 --> 00:50:49,711
If you and that stone-hearted, glory seeking,
"I am the great Mark Chapman"
655
00:50:49,780 --> 00:50:51,771
had thrown Charlie
the miserable crumb of respect
656
00:50:51,848 --> 00:50:54,510
of just listening to him, he'd be alive today!
657
00:50:54,584 --> 00:50:58,748
Julie, maybe you're right.
Maybe it is partly my fault Charlie's dead.
658
00:50:58,822 --> 00:51:01,882
I'm sorry. Really sorry. But what can I do?
659
00:51:02,392 --> 00:51:06,123
Don't go soft! Show Chapman
you're a chip off the old block.
660
00:51:06,596 --> 00:51:08,655
Have him give Charlie a fancy funeral.
661
00:51:08,732 --> 00:51:11,997
Great headline.
"The <i>Express</i> buries its cast-offs."
662
00:51:12,436 --> 00:51:14,097
It'll sell papers!
663
00:51:27,350 --> 00:51:31,912
Kenny, rewrite that one paragraph, will you?
Allison had a bad night. Yeah.
664
00:51:32,289 --> 00:51:35,087
I just got yesterday's figures
from circulation, Mark.
665
00:51:35,158 --> 00:51:38,491
Six hundred and ninety-six thousand.
You're moving up there.
666
00:51:38,562 --> 00:51:41,292
Looks as though it's going to cost
the <i>Express</i> some bonus money before long.
667
00:51:41,364 --> 00:51:44,765
Quicker than you can say,
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Stockholder Rawley!"
668
00:51:44,835 --> 00:51:46,666
We're only starting,
Mr. Madison, only starting.
669
00:51:46,736 --> 00:51:48,260
That's the spirit!
670
00:51:48,338 --> 00:51:50,272
When you get to the editor's chair,
remember one thing.
671
00:51:50,340 --> 00:51:54,743
You're a hero with a lifetime job,
as long as the circulation is rising.
672
00:51:55,045 --> 00:51:59,379
- What have you got there?
- Something that will keep circulation rising.
673
00:51:59,716 --> 00:52:01,581
Charlie Barnes' story.
674
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:04,378
What are you talking about?
675
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:06,820
Charlie wasn't near the <i>Daily Leader</i>
by accident, Mark.
676
00:52:06,890 --> 00:52:08,790
He had something to print.
677
00:52:08,859 --> 00:52:11,419
I couldn't find it in his effects
at the morgue this morning,
678
00:52:11,495 --> 00:52:15,932
but I found it at Heeney's bar,
the joint Charlie phoned from last night.
679
00:52:16,233 --> 00:52:19,134
Half a pawnshop ticket was still on the bag.
680
00:52:19,236 --> 00:52:21,431
Pete's Hock Shop. I checked it.
681
00:52:21,505 --> 00:52:24,838
Charlie came in the pawnshop last night
with a claim check.
682
00:52:24,908 --> 00:52:27,536
Said he was unhocking it for a friend.
683
00:52:28,478 --> 00:52:31,743
Well, what's in the bag?
Miss Lonely Heart's name and address?
684
00:52:32,916 --> 00:52:36,477
Better than that, Mark.
Much better than that.
685
00:52:38,054 --> 00:52:40,579
A picture of the guy who killed her.
686
00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:52,362
A picture?
You can't even see the guy's face!
687
00:52:52,435 --> 00:52:54,596
What's the matter, Mark?
This is the first real lead we've got.
688
00:52:54,671 --> 00:52:56,263
The way you talked,
I thought we had it all sewed up.
689
00:52:56,339 --> 00:52:59,604
Sure, it's a lead, but it's a thin one.
How much does this give us?
690
00:52:59,676 --> 00:53:04,773
Well, we're certain the dame had a husband.
They were married in 1931 in Connecticut.
691
00:53:05,248 --> 00:53:09,048
- The husband's the guy who killed her.
- How do you make that?
692
00:53:09,419 --> 00:53:11,580
The ring mark on her finger
must have been a wedding ring.
693
00:53:11,655 --> 00:53:14,055
The inscription inside
could have identified him.
694
00:53:14,124 --> 00:53:16,388
And he grabbed the pawn ticket
figuring she'd hocked some belongings
695
00:53:16,459 --> 00:53:18,893
- that might peg him.
- Makes sense.
696
00:53:19,396 --> 00:53:22,194
Charlie got the pawn ticket from the killer.
697
00:53:22,265 --> 00:53:25,701
He must have been with him sometime,
someplace, yesterday.
698
00:53:25,769 --> 00:53:28,329
A lot of people
could have seen them together, right?
699
00:53:28,405 --> 00:53:29,770
Could have.
700
00:53:31,141 --> 00:53:33,609
Splash this picture
on the front page tonight.
701
00:53:33,677 --> 00:53:35,975
Offer a reward for information.
702
00:53:39,149 --> 00:53:41,674
"Lonely Heart Killer strikes again."
703
00:53:43,153 --> 00:53:45,246
When you write the story,
say that Barnes was working on this case
704
00:53:45,322 --> 00:53:46,346
undercover for the <i>Express.</i>
705
00:53:46,423 --> 00:53:49,620
He got too close to the killer
and died in the line of duty.
706
00:53:49,693 --> 00:53:50,887
Mark, I don't know, it...
707
00:53:50,961 --> 00:53:54,863
Nobody can deny it. It'll help sell papers.
We'll offer $1,000.
708
00:53:55,232 --> 00:53:58,360
Look, kid, don't pin your hopes
on anybody being able
709
00:53:58,435 --> 00:54:02,030
to spot the guy from this.
Unless they got x-ray eyes.
710
00:54:02,339 --> 00:54:04,034
I'm sure Charlie connected
the guy in the picture
711
00:54:04,107 --> 00:54:08,601
with the bird who gave him the pawn ticket.
I'm going to fine-tooth the Bowery myself.
712
00:54:08,678 --> 00:54:11,374
It's even money
that's where Charlie ran into our man.
713
00:54:11,448 --> 00:54:12,972
Good luck, kid.
714
00:54:44,314 --> 00:54:47,875
- Well, I got them for you, McCleary.
- Good work, Heeney.
715
00:55:05,368 --> 00:55:09,634
Well, this does it. I'll never touch
another drop the rest of my life.
716
00:55:17,547 --> 00:55:19,515
'Course some of them
been sucking on the bottle all night,
717
00:55:19,582 --> 00:55:21,516
but they can still stand up.
718
00:55:21,584 --> 00:55:24,747
- They all knew Charlie?
- Yeah, they all knew him.
719
00:55:25,088 --> 00:55:29,081
If you give McCleary here
any bum information, I'll brain you.
720
00:55:29,793 --> 00:55:31,818
And I might even do worse.
721
00:55:31,961 --> 00:55:35,522
No more free shots
when you're seeing little red spiders.
722
00:55:35,999 --> 00:55:40,095
How many of you boys saw Charlie Barnes
the day he was killed? Raise your hands.
723
00:55:40,170 --> 00:55:44,197
All right, raise your mitts,
them that seen Charlie day before yesterday.
724
00:55:44,274 --> 00:55:45,366
Good.
725
00:55:48,478 --> 00:55:50,446
- Where did you see him?
- See who?
726
00:55:50,513 --> 00:55:54,279
- This guy must be used to talking to mirrors.
- Charlie Barnes.
727
00:55:54,351 --> 00:55:58,253
I seen him come out of a joint
where he flopped in the morning.
728
00:56:00,824 --> 00:56:02,815
You, where'd you see him?
729
00:56:03,460 --> 00:56:05,826
- Humpty O'Dougal's saloon.
- What time?
730
00:56:05,895 --> 00:56:10,389
In the afternoon. Late in the afternoon.
Charlie had a nice little bun on.
731
00:56:10,934 --> 00:56:11,992
Was he with anybody?
732
00:56:12,068 --> 00:56:14,036
With anybody?
Sure, he was with somebody.
733
00:56:14,104 --> 00:56:16,834
Charlie never drank by himself
if he had a little cash on him.
734
00:56:16,906 --> 00:56:19,966
- Well, do you know the guy he was with?
- Certainly I know who he was with.
735
00:56:20,043 --> 00:56:23,206
- Well, who was it?
- Me. He sprung me three slugs.
736
00:56:29,686 --> 00:56:32,678
When did you see him?
When did you see him?
737
00:56:36,159 --> 00:56:38,491
- This morning.
- Throw him out of here.
738
00:56:38,561 --> 00:56:41,086
- Wait a minute!
- What are you talking about?
739
00:56:41,164 --> 00:56:44,691
- Now, is there any more jokers in the crowd?
- I seen him.
740
00:56:45,735 --> 00:56:49,136
Yeah? Well, go on. Where'd you see him?
741
00:56:51,074 --> 00:56:53,770
On the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
742
00:56:53,843 --> 00:56:57,472
- Go on, go on.
- Nothing. He was working a sucker.
743
00:56:58,014 --> 00:57:01,177
- Giving him the pally act, that's all.
- Now think hard.
744
00:57:01,251 --> 00:57:04,243
Do you remember the sucker?
Do you remember what he looks like?
745
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,754
- Maybe.
- What do you mean, "Maybe"?
746
00:57:06,890 --> 00:57:10,826
- Maybe for 50 bucks.
- Why you...
747
00:57:11,995 --> 00:57:15,362
Do you think you could remember
for 1,000 bucks?
748
00:57:17,267 --> 00:57:19,258
Who could tell who he is?
749
00:57:19,469 --> 00:57:22,461
Can you describe
the man you saw Charlie with?
750
00:57:22,906 --> 00:57:26,273
Do I get $1,000 if I do?
751
00:57:26,443 --> 00:57:28,968
You do. If and when we find the guy.
752
00:57:29,379 --> 00:57:32,212
- Sure, I can describe him.
- Well, go ahead.
753
00:57:34,918 --> 00:57:37,819
- You paying the reward?
- No, but my boss is.
754
00:57:38,655 --> 00:57:41,647
- Then I'll describe it to him.
- Okay. Come on.
755
00:57:41,791 --> 00:57:44,385
Rush this over to the composing room.
756
00:57:44,761 --> 00:57:48,492
Kenny, see if you can figure out
a heading for that rubbish.
757
00:57:48,698 --> 00:57:50,723
Connie! Connie, take this.
758
00:57:58,475 --> 00:57:59,806
Wait here.
759
00:58:13,623 --> 00:58:15,318
Look, Lieutenant,
just refer the captain to me.
760
00:58:15,391 --> 00:58:18,189
I'll tell him he's cropping at the best
homicide man he ever had on the force.
761
00:58:18,261 --> 00:58:20,491
If he doesn't know that,
he's deaf, dumb and blind.
762
00:58:20,563 --> 00:58:22,861
Yeah, never mind the malarkey, Chapman!
763
00:58:22,932 --> 00:58:24,900
The next time
you people pull a stunt like this,
764
00:58:24,968 --> 00:58:27,596
I'll throw both you and McCleary in the can!
765
00:58:28,271 --> 00:58:31,832
Okay, Lieutenant, okay.
I give you my word. Goodbye, pal.
766
00:58:33,042 --> 00:58:35,340
Davis is screaming because we gave him
the suitcase only a half hour
767
00:58:35,411 --> 00:58:36,878
before he read it in the <i>Express.</i>
768
00:58:36,946 --> 00:58:39,437
Well, I've got something
that ought to make him happy again.
769
00:58:39,516 --> 00:58:40,744
Not another suitcase?
770
00:58:40,817 --> 00:58:44,776
A guy who can identify the man
Charlie got the pawn ticket from.
771
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:51,384
Hey, Bailey. Come in here.
772
00:59:00,103 --> 00:59:03,561
He wouldn't describe the guy to me.
He needed the boss.
773
00:59:06,643 --> 00:59:08,304
You the boss?
774
00:59:09,379 --> 00:59:13,611
Yeah, and don't waste my time.
Where'd you see this guy with Charlie?
775
00:59:15,818 --> 00:59:18,446
Down the street near Pete's Hock Shop.
776
00:59:19,956 --> 00:59:22,151
You say you can describe him?
777
00:59:41,844 --> 00:59:44,335
Well, go on. What did he look like?
778
00:59:54,057 --> 00:59:55,786
Stand up, will you?
779
01:00:04,467 --> 01:00:07,766
Yeah, just how I figured.
780
01:00:08,805 --> 01:00:10,432
You figured what?
781
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,272
He was your size,
782
01:00:17,313 --> 01:00:18,678
your build.
783
01:00:19,115 --> 01:00:21,345
Could have been as old as you.
784
01:00:21,951 --> 01:00:26,217
- Is that all?
- All you asked me was to describe him.
785
01:00:26,723 --> 01:00:30,625
That was no description!
That could fit a million guys in this town.
786
01:00:30,693 --> 01:00:34,060
- Even me.
- Well, how about the reward?
787
01:00:34,130 --> 01:00:38,123
Here, take this down to the cashier
and pick yourself up five bucks.
788
01:00:38,201 --> 01:00:41,261
- Show him where it is, Steve.
- Come on, Bailey.
789
01:01:30,186 --> 01:01:31,517
Hey, Baxter, where's Julie?
790
01:01:31,587 --> 01:01:34,078
She came in this morning,
banged this out on her typewriter,
791
01:01:34,157 --> 01:01:36,216
and told me to give it to Chapman.
792
01:01:36,292 --> 01:01:38,385
- What is it?
- Her resignation.
793
01:01:38,461 --> 01:01:42,261
I figured I'd hang onto it a day or so.
Maybe she'd cool off.
794
01:01:42,632 --> 01:01:46,261
I'm sure glad you did.
I'll take care of it for you, okay?
795
01:01:49,238 --> 01:01:50,762
Baxter, thanks.
796
01:02:00,883 --> 01:02:03,647
- Hello, Mrs. Allison.
- Well, hello, Steve. Come in.
797
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,051
Thank you.
798
01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:14,458
I have a pot of coffee in the kitchen.
I'd better see to it.
799
01:02:14,664 --> 01:02:16,564
Can I say a few words to you?
800
01:02:16,632 --> 01:02:19,533
Without getting hit with a table
or something?
801
01:02:19,602 --> 01:02:22,230
Speak your piece and get it over with.
802
01:02:22,338 --> 01:02:25,535
I just got rocked
with a bad piece of news, Julie.
803
01:02:25,742 --> 01:02:28,040
I heard about your resignation.
804
01:02:28,444 --> 01:02:31,845
Well, I can't imagine
why you'd shed any tears over it.
805
01:02:31,914 --> 01:02:33,211
Well, for what it's worth,
806
01:02:33,282 --> 01:02:36,308
your resigning knocks the props
out of a lot of things for me.
807
01:02:37,754 --> 01:02:40,655
That couldn't have come
from Steve McCleary.
808
01:02:41,791 --> 01:02:44,851
Okay, pass it. But I didn't figure
your burn at Chapman and me
809
01:02:44,927 --> 01:02:48,454
would be bigger than your wanting
to do something about Charlie's murder.
810
01:02:49,632 --> 01:02:52,829
Don't start playing me
for a hollow-headed female now, Steve.
811
01:02:52,902 --> 01:02:55,871
Your only interest, and Chapman's,
in Charlie's death is exploiting it
812
01:02:55,938 --> 01:02:59,601
- for all the circulation jumping it's worth!
- Julie, I'm not digging on a story now
813
01:02:59,675 --> 01:03:03,577
just for the school-boy bang of seeing
my name over a sensational yarn.
814
01:03:03,646 --> 01:03:06,672
Yeah, that's right, I had to get hit pretty hard
before I smartened up.
815
01:03:06,749 --> 01:03:09,309
But now I'm leveling
on the Charlie Barnes business.
816
01:03:13,422 --> 01:03:18,257
Well, if I can believe what I'm hearing,
this certainly is a different McCleary.
817
01:03:19,328 --> 01:03:20,955
I've been working night and day.
818
01:03:21,030 --> 01:03:24,227
All I've done is run the local leads
to a dead end.
819
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:29,294
There's only one gimmick left to follow.
This picture, the marriage in Connecticut.
820
01:03:29,472 --> 01:03:33,067
It's odd the person who married them
hasn't recognized it.
821
01:03:33,142 --> 01:03:36,077
Unless he's dead or hasn't seen the picture.
822
01:03:36,579 --> 01:03:40,310
Yeah, I thought of that angle, too.
But it's a million-to-one shot.
823
01:03:40,383 --> 01:03:43,716
A guy would have to be an elephant
to remember a face after 21 years.
824
01:03:44,787 --> 01:03:48,314
Tell him about the elephant we met
on Fifth Avenue, about four years ago.
825
01:03:48,391 --> 01:03:50,791
We were walking along the street when,
right out of the blue,
826
01:03:50,860 --> 01:03:53,021
a complete stranger stopped me.
827
01:03:53,095 --> 01:03:56,656
It turned out to be the little preacher
who married Julie's father and me
828
01:03:56,732 --> 01:03:59,724
in Portland, Maine, 23 years before!
829
01:04:01,404 --> 01:04:06,603
- And he actually was able to recognize you?
- And I'd put on a little weight since then.
830
01:04:07,210 --> 01:04:10,270
They say a New Englander
seldom forgets a face.
831
01:04:10,980 --> 01:04:13,813
Crazy odds, but what can we lose?
832
01:04:15,051 --> 01:04:16,416
Yeah, get this picture
833
01:04:16,485 --> 01:04:19,750
to every churchman, judge
and justice of the peace in Connecticut.
834
01:04:19,822 --> 01:04:24,259
- It's certainly worth trying.
- It's a big job. Compiling lists,
835
01:04:24,527 --> 01:04:26,620
- checking out leads.
- It can be done.
836
01:04:26,696 --> 01:04:28,687
The two of us could handle it, Julie.
837
01:04:29,732 --> 01:04:32,667
Well, I'd like to, Steve, but I've resigned.
838
01:04:32,735 --> 01:04:36,637
And I'd sooner drop dead
than ask Mark Chapman for my job back.
839
01:04:43,312 --> 01:04:45,803
- You dog!
- It never got past Baxter.
840
01:04:46,883 --> 01:04:48,908
A list of churches in each town
is no problem.
841
01:04:48,985 --> 01:04:52,318
The judges and JPs we can get
from the state legal directory in Hartford.
842
01:04:52,388 --> 01:04:54,720
Yeah, you start packing.
Enough for a couple of weeks.
843
01:04:54,790 --> 01:04:56,451
I'm going to the office
and get the lab boys started
844
01:04:56,525 --> 01:04:57,787
on knocking out a few hundred circulars.
845
01:04:57,860 --> 01:05:00,260
But suppose Chapman says no
to my working with you on it?
846
01:05:00,329 --> 01:05:03,492
Why should he? Anyway, I'm not going
to tell him anything until we're ready to go.
847
01:05:03,566 --> 01:05:04,658
Tonight sometime.
848
01:05:04,734 --> 01:05:08,898
Mom, you think it's safe for me to travel
out of state at night with this young man?
849
01:05:08,971 --> 01:05:12,702
Just so he doesn't misconstrue
the meaning of "freedom of the press."
850
01:05:12,775 --> 01:05:16,336
Hey, you wonderful woman.
I'll check with you for dinner.
851
01:05:21,417 --> 01:05:23,544
Steve, this is shot-in-the-dark stuff.
852
01:05:23,619 --> 01:05:26,452
Mark, more rabbit-brained ideas than this
have paid off.
853
01:05:26,522 --> 01:05:28,956
Your hottest lead is right here in town
where the murders were committed.
854
01:05:29,025 --> 01:05:32,290
Yeah, our hottest lead was in town,
but it dried up like a puddle in July.
855
01:05:32,361 --> 01:05:33,589
You're looking for a mental marvel,
856
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:36,154
a guy who can recognize somebody
he'd seen for 15 or 20 minutes
857
01:05:36,232 --> 01:05:38,757
at a wedding ceremony
he performed 21 years ago.
858
01:05:38,834 --> 01:05:41,394
How do we know he only saw them
for 15 or 20 minutes?
859
01:05:41,470 --> 01:05:44,200
Maybe they were members of his church
or were married by a judge
860
01:05:44,273 --> 01:05:46,298
or a justice in their own town.
861
01:05:46,375 --> 01:05:48,605
Steve, you're off
on a needle-in-a-haystack hunt.
862
01:05:48,678 --> 01:05:51,078
You can find a needle in a haystack
if you look long enough.
863
01:05:51,147 --> 01:05:53,775
You don't think I'm gonna let you
hang around up there indefinitely, do you?
864
01:05:53,849 --> 01:05:55,680
You won't have to. A week, probably.
865
01:05:55,751 --> 01:05:58,982
Julie Allison's coming along to help me.
It's all arranged.
866
01:05:59,055 --> 01:06:02,456
It's all arranged. And that five grand reward.
You arranged that, too?
867
01:06:02,525 --> 01:06:06,586
No, you did, or will.
Mark, what's eating you?
868
01:06:07,096 --> 01:06:09,257
I'm only checking out every possible angle.
869
01:06:09,332 --> 01:06:11,061
Kid, I don't want you to beat your brains out.
870
01:06:11,133 --> 01:06:13,033
We can get just so much
out of this Lonely Hearts story,
871
01:06:13,102 --> 01:06:16,128
and then we'll start easing it off
and let it die a natural death.
872
01:06:16,205 --> 01:06:19,368
Let it die? Mark, we let Charlie Barnes die!
873
01:06:20,509 --> 01:06:22,909
The least we can do now is to find his killer.
874
01:06:23,679 --> 01:06:26,443
You're the guy who pounded into me,
"Never give up till you've got the story."
875
01:06:26,515 --> 01:06:28,449
Well, I'm not quitting on this one
until I've licked it.
876
01:06:28,517 --> 01:06:30,985
You can reach me
at the Lenox Hotel in Hartford.
877
01:06:56,579 --> 01:06:57,978
Long distance.
878
01:06:58,047 --> 01:06:59,844
I want some information.
879
01:06:59,915 --> 01:07:01,906
A telephone number
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
880
01:07:01,984 --> 01:07:05,181
The name is Hacker. He's a judge.
I don't remember his first name.
881
01:07:05,254 --> 01:07:07,222
You wish to place a call to this party?
882
01:07:07,289 --> 01:07:10,383
No, no. Not yet, that is.
I just want to get his telephone number.
883
01:07:10,459 --> 01:07:12,188
<i>One moment, please.</i>
884
01:07:16,799 --> 01:07:20,235
Hello? The Middlebury operator
has no listing for anyone by that name.
885
01:07:21,037 --> 01:07:22,436
There isn't?
886
01:07:23,305 --> 01:07:25,296
Middlebury's a small town.
Will you ask the operator
887
01:07:25,374 --> 01:07:26,966
if she knows anything
about Judge Hacker at all?
888
01:07:27,043 --> 01:07:29,273
Is he deceased, moved away, or what?
889
01:07:29,345 --> 01:07:31,074
<i>One moment, please.</i>
890
01:07:35,518 --> 01:07:38,510
Hello? The local operator
has been in Middlebury for five years
891
01:07:38,587 --> 01:07:40,646
and knows no one
by the name of Judge Hacker.
892
01:07:40,723 --> 01:07:42,384
That's all the information she can give us.
893
01:07:43,959 --> 01:07:45,153
Thanks.
894
01:08:32,908 --> 01:08:35,308
No, Reverend,
I'm afraid that's not our couple.
895
01:08:36,412 --> 01:08:39,040
You may be positive, Reverend,
but you're mistaken.
896
01:08:39,115 --> 01:08:41,515
The woman in the photo we sent you
is dead.
897
01:08:41,584 --> 01:08:43,916
Thank you for calling, Reverend.
898
01:08:46,288 --> 01:08:48,153
You don't have to tell me.
899
01:08:48,224 --> 01:08:50,852
It's written all over
your bright and shining face.
900
01:08:50,926 --> 01:08:53,759
A 190-mile drive
to have a whack-head tell me
901
01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:56,423
that both the people in our circular
died a year ago.
902
01:08:57,766 --> 01:09:01,896
New Englanders remember, all right.
Every face is familiar to them.
903
01:09:04,406 --> 01:09:07,671
Hello? Just a minute, here's Steve.
904
01:09:08,110 --> 01:09:10,340
It's that man again. Every day.
905
01:09:10,412 --> 01:09:13,313
Does he think we'll keep it a big fat secret
if we find something?
906
01:09:15,284 --> 01:09:16,649
Yeah, Mark.
907
01:09:18,487 --> 01:09:20,819
Nothing but an aching back
and some interesting meetings
908
01:09:20,890 --> 01:09:22,824
with jelly-brained screwballs.
909
01:09:22,892 --> 01:09:26,555
You've had enough time, Steve. Ten days.
Admit it's a dud. Come on home.
910
01:09:26,629 --> 01:09:29,325
Two more days, Mark.
We'll stick it out to the end of the week.
911
01:09:29,899 --> 01:09:33,391
Get out of the haystack. It's easier
to find the needles at the scene of the crime.
912
01:09:33,469 --> 01:09:34,936
I'll see you.
913
01:09:35,771 --> 01:09:39,832
Two more days. I don't even know myself
why we're sticking around.
914
01:09:41,043 --> 01:09:42,772
Anything there that sounds good?
915
01:09:44,180 --> 01:09:47,946
I'll read you a fair sample.
From a J.P. Waterbury.
916
01:09:49,084 --> 01:09:52,451
"Send me $5,000
and I will tell you names of people."
917
01:09:52,655 --> 01:09:54,646
A new head I'll send him.
918
01:09:55,658 --> 01:09:58,320
I've got a headache.
I think I'll lie down for a while.
919
01:09:59,728 --> 01:10:01,855
Why don't you lie down here?
920
01:10:07,269 --> 01:10:08,998
I'll go to my room.
921
01:10:15,344 --> 01:10:17,744
McCleary. Okay, put him on.
922
01:10:18,681 --> 01:10:20,808
A guy calling from Franklin.
923
01:10:21,283 --> 01:10:23,308
Hello? Yeah, that's right.
924
01:10:25,955 --> 01:10:27,149
You do, huh?
925
01:10:29,258 --> 01:10:31,590
- You've got what?
- What is it?
926
01:10:31,827 --> 01:10:35,456
- Just a minute.
- I have the other picture right before me!
927
01:10:35,864 --> 01:10:41,131
Yes, I married them July 19th, 1931,
over in Middlebury.
928
01:10:42,438 --> 01:10:44,702
A funny thing. What's that?
929
01:10:48,143 --> 01:10:49,872
Judge Elroy Hacker.
930
01:10:50,379 --> 01:10:52,404
We'll be there in two hours, Judge.
931
01:10:52,481 --> 01:10:54,244
Sit tight
and keep your mouth shut about this.
932
01:10:54,316 --> 01:10:55,374
Bye.
933
01:10:55,584 --> 01:10:59,247
Go on, get packed.
He's liable to drop dead on us or something.
934
01:11:55,110 --> 01:11:58,102
For a man who can sit there
and watch his success increasing daily,
935
01:11:58,180 --> 01:12:00,011
you're looking much too troubled, Mark.
936
01:12:00,082 --> 01:12:03,210
It's just that these minor problems
always seem to require major thinking.
937
01:12:03,285 --> 01:12:06,379
Well, perhaps we can balance
the unpleasant with the pleasant.
938
01:12:06,455 --> 01:12:09,390
That conversation we had the other day
about your buying company stock.
939
01:12:09,458 --> 01:12:10,823
- Yeah?
- I just thought I'd tell you,
940
01:12:10,893 --> 01:12:14,920
- I think we can swing that.
- That's fine, Mr. Madison, just great.
941
01:12:14,997 --> 01:12:17,659
Well, there doesn't seem to be any doubt
you'll reach that bonus figure.
942
01:12:17,733 --> 01:12:19,064
It'll be pleasant having you as a partner,
943
01:12:19,134 --> 01:12:20,863
- so to speak, in the paper, Mark.
- Thanks.
944
01:12:20,936 --> 01:12:22,801
- Good night.
- Good night.
945
01:14:17,953 --> 01:14:19,147
Sorry to keep you this late, Mark,
946
01:14:19,221 --> 01:14:21,621
but we got hit with a mess of traffic
on the way in.
947
01:14:21,690 --> 01:14:23,157
Your wire sounded important.
948
01:14:23,225 --> 01:14:26,456
I found that needle,
or rather the man with the needle.
949
01:14:26,528 --> 01:14:29,725
Judge Elroy Hacker,
Mark Chapman, Managing Editor.
950
01:14:29,865 --> 01:14:32,925
- Glad to meet you, Judge.
- How do, Mr. Chapman?
951
01:14:33,902 --> 01:14:35,893
- Sit down, Judge.
- Thanks.
952
01:14:36,772 --> 01:14:38,672
Does the judge's needle sew anything up?
953
01:14:38,740 --> 01:14:41,231
Everything but knotting the thread
at the end.
954
01:14:41,310 --> 01:14:42,937
I mean the noose.
955
01:14:44,046 --> 01:14:45,240
What have you got?
956
01:14:45,314 --> 01:14:48,511
The identity of Mrs. Lonely Heart
and her husband.
957
01:14:49,117 --> 01:14:51,711
Judge Hacker married them
in Middlebury, Connecticut.
958
01:14:51,787 --> 01:14:54,688
Their names are Charlotte and George Grant.
959
01:14:58,827 --> 01:14:59,953
Did you get that, Mark?
960
01:15:00,028 --> 01:15:03,327
The name of the Lonely Heart Killer
is George Grant.
961
01:15:03,699 --> 01:15:05,530
Yeah, I heard you. Go on.
962
01:15:05,601 --> 01:15:08,229
Strike two. The judge is sure
he can identify George Grant
963
01:15:08,303 --> 01:15:10,203
when he sees him again.
964
01:15:10,806 --> 01:15:13,969
You see, I took this picture myself.
965
01:15:14,710 --> 01:15:17,338
A little extra service
the judge gave his bridal couples.
966
01:15:17,412 --> 01:15:20,711
Yes. I'd send them a print
and put one in my own scrapbook.
967
01:15:20,782 --> 01:15:22,579
The judge even furnished
the "just married" sign.
968
01:15:22,651 --> 01:15:24,118
Judge, you said
you married them in Middlebury,
969
01:15:24,186 --> 01:15:27,883
- but Steve found you in Franklin.
- I retired seven years ago.
970
01:15:27,956 --> 01:15:31,323
I'm partial to fishing,
so I moved over on the coast.
971
01:15:32,027 --> 01:15:34,928
I only happened
to see your circular by chance,
972
01:15:34,997 --> 01:15:37,830
in the office of a justice friend of mine.
973
01:15:40,602 --> 01:15:43,571
I always said you were born
in a field of shamrocks.
974
01:15:43,639 --> 01:15:47,769
Sure. The McClearys raised their kids
on nothing but rabbits' feet.
975
01:15:48,410 --> 01:15:52,471
Judge, what makes you so sure
you can identify George Grant today?
976
01:15:54,383 --> 01:15:57,250
Well, mainly because right after
I took that wedding picture,
977
01:15:57,319 --> 01:16:00,482
this Grant got vexed at his wife
about something.
978
01:16:01,590 --> 01:16:05,651
I can remember his voice, snapping at her.
His face getting red...
979
01:16:07,696 --> 01:16:11,598
I know what's in your bonnet, Mark.
We still have to find George Grant.
980
01:16:11,667 --> 01:16:14,363
A needle's nothing but a hunk of steel
if you've got nothing to sew.
981
01:16:14,436 --> 01:16:15,801
We just need the thread.
982
01:16:15,871 --> 01:16:18,203
I figure we'll pick that up
right here in New York.
983
01:16:18,273 --> 01:16:21,367
When the police line up all the local
George Grants for the judge to look over.
984
01:16:23,745 --> 01:16:27,416
That's Julie. I dropped her off
at headquarters to tell Davis what we've got.
985
01:16:29,251 --> 01:16:32,618
Friend Davis is steaming
like a pressure cooker, as I said he would.
986
01:16:32,688 --> 01:16:33,746
He'll simmer down.
987
01:16:33,822 --> 01:16:36,484
So will your
lining up the George Grants idea.
988
01:16:36,558 --> 01:16:40,255
Davis says he'll do nothing until you turn
Judge Hacker over to the police.
989
01:16:40,329 --> 01:16:42,763
- Steve, you can't hold...
- Relax, doll. He'll see the judge later.
990
01:16:42,831 --> 01:16:44,924
Not tonight he won't.
The judge is our exclusive beat.
991
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,230
Nobody gets to him
till our story breaks tomorrow.
992
01:16:47,302 --> 01:16:49,031
I don't trust cops.
993
01:16:51,607 --> 01:16:52,904
You and Julie start writing the story.
994
01:16:52,975 --> 01:16:56,308
I'll put the judge in a side-street hotel
where nobody will get to him.
995
01:16:56,378 --> 01:16:57,902
Come on, Judge.
996
01:17:01,316 --> 01:17:03,648
I'll just wait for Mr. McCleary.
997
01:17:04,987 --> 01:17:06,921
He was going to put me up at his place.
998
01:17:06,989 --> 01:17:08,581
That's the first place
the wolves will start baying.
999
01:17:08,657 --> 01:17:10,921
You better come with me, Judge.
1000
01:17:10,993 --> 01:17:15,157
No, I don't think it would be wise
for me to go with you, Mr. Grant.
1001
01:17:15,731 --> 01:17:18,325
- Mister...
- Chapman, Judge. Not Grant.
1002
01:17:18,734 --> 01:17:21,294
You'd better give your brain a rest.
You're gonna need it.
1003
01:17:21,370 --> 01:17:22,735
He may be Chapman now,
1004
01:17:22,804 --> 01:17:27,104
but 21 years ago, when I married them,
he was George Grant.
1005
01:17:27,509 --> 01:17:29,534
And he was a newspaperman.
1006
01:17:30,379 --> 01:17:34,145
I remember now. He said he worked
on the paper over in Waterford.
1007
01:17:34,216 --> 01:17:37,549
Waterford, Connecticut, was that town
I couldn't think of.
1008
01:17:37,619 --> 01:17:40,110
But I knew I'd remember that voice.
1009
01:17:40,422 --> 01:17:44,586
His face... You've changed.
But it's the same man.
1010
01:17:45,060 --> 01:17:48,086
You remember that $5,000 reward, though,
don't you, Judge?
1011
01:17:48,163 --> 01:17:51,428
Judge. This is impossible.
You're getting confused.
1012
01:17:51,633 --> 01:17:54,864
He sounds to me as though
he knows exactly what he's saying.
1013
01:17:54,936 --> 01:17:57,837
This is idiotic!
Screwball, crackbrained lunacy!
1014
01:17:57,906 --> 01:18:01,364
And that's just the kind of a witness
the judge is going to make, too, Steve.
1015
01:18:01,443 --> 01:18:03,240
The police have that specimen
of hair and flesh
1016
01:18:03,311 --> 01:18:05,905
found under Mrs. Grant's fingernails.
1017
01:18:06,348 --> 01:18:09,283
I think we'd better get in touch with Davis.
1018
01:18:09,551 --> 01:18:11,212
No phone, Allison.
1019
01:18:21,797 --> 01:18:26,359
Julie pegged you right off.
But me, still wet behind the ears McCleary.
1020
01:18:27,235 --> 01:18:29,328
I went for the sleigh ride.
1021
01:18:29,971 --> 01:18:35,409
I practically built the pedestal for Chapman.
The great newspaperman. The great guy.
1022
01:18:36,778 --> 01:18:41,545
There ought to be a special Pulitzer Prize
for the world's biggest sucker, McCleary.
1023
01:18:41,616 --> 01:18:44,141
Just another one of your stupid slobs!
1024
01:18:44,219 --> 01:18:45,948
Things happen, Steve,
and then there's just no end.
1025
01:18:46,021 --> 01:18:47,921
Killing my wife was an accident.
1026
01:18:47,989 --> 01:18:51,823
And Charlie. Charlie Barnes,
who never hurt a fly in his life.
1027
01:18:52,294 --> 01:18:54,057
A washed-up drunken rummy
who had nothing to live for
1028
01:18:54,129 --> 01:18:55,790
against a career
that was just reaching its prime.
1029
01:18:55,864 --> 01:18:59,322
- It wasn't an even exchange.
- You've got a great career ahead of you now.
1030
01:18:59,401 --> 01:19:02,302
That's all down the drain.
I gotta to make different plans now.
1031
01:19:02,370 --> 01:19:04,736
You should have started running
when you got my wire, sucker!
1032
01:19:04,806 --> 01:19:06,501
I gambled.
The stakes are big enough, you don't run
1033
01:19:06,575 --> 01:19:10,443
unless there's nothing else left to do.
Don't try it, kid.
1034
01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:30,190
Steve!
1035
01:19:50,986 --> 01:19:53,011
We're just too close, kid.
1036
01:19:57,292 --> 01:20:02,059
I figured I'd find you birds here.
Still playing me for a pushover, aren't you?
1037
01:20:04,032 --> 01:20:06,227
Steve, you remember how I told you
1038
01:20:06,301 --> 01:20:09,464
that someday you'd run into
a really great story?
1039
01:20:09,905 --> 01:20:11,736
Well, this one ought to do it, huh?
1040
01:20:12,474 --> 01:20:14,374
Yeah, this one will do.
1041
01:20:14,976 --> 01:20:16,603
I'll give you the lead on it.
1042
01:20:17,846 --> 01:20:18,972
"The elusive Lonely Heart Killer,
1043
01:20:19,047 --> 01:20:20,708

- All right, drop it, Chapman.

Mark Chapman, editor of the New York Express, has made the newspaper a success by pursuing sensationalism and yellow journalism. His protégé is ace reporter Steve McCleary, while successful feature writer Julie Allison is frustrated by the paper's drift towards raking the muck. One night, during a lonely hearts dance organized by the Express, Chapman's estranged wife confronts him and demands that he visit her hotel room. It is revealed that Chapman's real name is George Grant, and he abandoned his wife decades earlier, changing his identity. When Chapman rebuffs her efforts toward reconciliation, she threatens to publicize his real identity. Chapman tries to restrain her, accidentally killing her in the scuffle.
Chapman attempts to cover up his crime, posing the scene to look like an accident. The police initially believe she slipped in the bathtub, but McCleary begins covering the case, and his reporting reveals it was a murder. McCleary is eager to run the story, and Chapman must acquiesce to avoid suspicion. The "mystery" murderer is dubbed the "Lonely Hearts Killer." Charlie Barnes, an alcoholic former star reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner, stumbles upon the dead woman's suitcase, in which he finds wedding photographs showing Chapman (then Grant) and his wife. He realizes that Chapman must be the killer. Barnes contacts Allison, who has been kind to him, attempting to give her the scoop, but Chapman overhears the conversation. He intercepts and kills Barnes before he can reveal the truth to a rival publication. This act only increases public interest in the story of the Lonely Hearts Killer, much to Chapman's frustration.
Assisted by Allison, McCleary continues to track down clues and leads. Eventually he locates another photo from Chapman/Grant's wedding, although the groom is shot in profile and it is not obvious that it is Chapman. McCleary and Allison travel to Connecticut to find the judge who married the murdered woman and the man in the photograph. After a week of searching, they identify the judge who conducted the marriage. They bring him back to the newspaper building, where he identifies Chapman as the groom and thus the Lonely Hearts Killer. McCleary is incredulous, but Allison puts the pieces together and the desperate Chapman pulls a gun on them. The police arrive, and Chapman cannot bring himself to shoot McCleary. Instead, he gives McCleary his blessing to publish all details of his crimes and then commits suicide by cop.

1
00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:15,105
Ellen.
2
00:02:16,275 --> 00:02:18,207
Yes, Miss Fiske.
- Is there any mail for me?
3
00:02:18,783 --> 00:02:20,449
No, just this one letter.
4
00:02:22,257 --> 00:02:24,580
No sign of Bates yet?
- Not yet.
5
00:02:25,271 --> 00:02:27,122
Oh dear, I do hope you
won't miss your train.
6
00:02:28,288 --> 00:02:29,130
I mustn't.
7
00:02:32,003 --> 00:02:34,632
Oh Lucy, hurry with that bag.
- Just coming, Miss.
8
00:02:39,861 --> 00:02:40,533
Ellen.
9
00:02:40,937 --> 00:02:42,986
That business I want you
to see about in London.
10
00:02:43,703 --> 00:02:45,281
This is for Mr Scott at the bank.
11
00:02:45,872 --> 00:02:47,797
It's about those Brazilian
bonds of mine.
12
00:02:48,116 --> 00:02:50,463
The way the market is this week,
I think they ought to be ..
13
00:02:51,108 --> 00:02:53,011
Get outside.
Keep your eyes open for Bates.
14
00:02:53,367 --> 00:02:54,154
Yes, Miss.
15
00:02:57,364 --> 00:02:59,365
And this address is
just off Berkeley Square.
16
00:02:59,637 --> 00:03:02,745
Go to the servant's entrance and
ask for Mr Blake. He's the butler.
17
00:03:02,990 --> 00:03:06,248
Say you've come from me with
a message for Lord Cardington.
18
00:03:06,501 --> 00:03:08,999
And will he give it to his
Lordship .. privately.
19
00:03:10,145 --> 00:03:11,726
Ellen, you aren't paying attention.
20
00:03:12,861 --> 00:03:14,130
But I am, Miss Fiske.
21
00:03:15,291 --> 00:03:16,862
What would be the best time to call?
22
00:03:18,183 --> 00:03:20,515
Harry always used to dine around eight.
23
00:03:21,648 --> 00:03:23,869
You call about half past seven.
- Yes, very well.
24
00:03:24,511 --> 00:03:25,441
You seem upset.
25
00:03:26,165 --> 00:03:27,082
Bad news?
26
00:03:28,607 --> 00:03:30,395
I don't want to bother
you with my troubles.
27
00:03:31,555 --> 00:03:33,845
It isn't a question of bothering
me with your troubles.
28
00:03:34,385 --> 00:03:36,059
You've become almost like my daughter.
29
00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:40,033
The letter is from my sisters,
Emily and Louisa.
30
00:03:40,723 --> 00:03:42,666
They're very unhappy back
in London without me.
31
00:03:43,371 --> 00:03:46,159
After all, I only saw them once since
I came to work for you, Miss Fiske.
32
00:03:46,627 --> 00:03:50,075
You'll see them today, won't you?
And everything will be alright, surely.
33
00:03:50,516 --> 00:03:51,365
Miss Fiske.
34
00:03:52,270 --> 00:03:53,239
Bates is coming.
35
00:03:53,677 --> 00:03:54,941
Tell him to hurry himself.
36
00:03:56,902 --> 00:04:00,083
My kind regards to your sisters, Ellen.
- Thank you, Miss Fiske.
37
00:04:05,516 --> 00:04:07,945
I've written them so much about you.
38
00:04:08,818 --> 00:04:10,041
How kind you've been.
39
00:04:10,952 --> 00:04:13,704
Stuff and nonsense.
I'm fond of you. You shouldn't ..
40
00:04:14,411 --> 00:04:16,314
Oh, a lovely juicy one.
41
00:04:18,629 --> 00:04:21,722
Perhaps you'll .. you might allow
them down for a little visit one day?
42
00:04:22,338 --> 00:04:24,174
Oh dear, look what the damp has done.
43
00:04:24,744 --> 00:04:27,291
Certainly, yes.
By all means. At any time.
44
00:04:27,661 --> 00:04:30,625
You know Lucy polished this
table all yesterday afternoon.
45
00:04:31,859 --> 00:04:34,142
Miss Fiske.
- Yes?
46
00:04:34,903 --> 00:04:36,139
It occurred to me that ..
47
00:04:36,694 --> 00:04:40,310
Since they've been so wretched lately,
and you may allow them to visit one day.
48
00:04:40,526 --> 00:04:42,677
Oh that? Yes, indeed. You tell them.
49
00:04:43,191 --> 00:04:45,776
Perhaps in the spring when
it's warm and sunny.
50
00:04:58,452 --> 00:05:01,788
Well .. what I was going to ask was ..
51
00:05:03,656 --> 00:05:06,019
Might I bring them back
with me this time? Now?
52
00:05:06,313 --> 00:05:08,044
Well now, Ellen.
- They won't be a bother.
53
00:05:08,260 --> 00:05:11,100
I promise Miss Fiske .. and it
will mean so much to them.
54
00:05:13,860 --> 00:05:17,056
Very well my dear. You bring with
you by all means. For a day or two.
55
00:05:17,531 --> 00:05:18,974
Thank you, Miss Fiske.
56
00:05:19,913 --> 00:05:22,776
I can't tell you how grateful I am.
- Well don't try, my dear.
57
00:05:23,612 --> 00:05:26,540
He's here, Miss.
- About time. The good-for-nothing.
58
00:05:29,731 --> 00:05:31,919
Ellen, have you got everything?
- Yes, Miss Fiske.
59
00:05:36,257 --> 00:05:37,214
Morning, ma'am.
60
00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:40,040
Bates, you might have been more prompt.
What on earth made you so late?
61
00:05:40,256 --> 00:05:44,233
Her. You can't gallop over the roads
with a lady in her delicate condition.
62
00:05:45,131 --> 00:05:46,985
She's going to throw a calf, she be.
63
00:05:47,329 --> 00:05:49,142
I'm taking her to the vets, I am.
64
00:05:49,580 --> 00:05:53,795
Kindly let her not throw any calves
until you get Miss Ellen to the station.
65
00:05:55,009 --> 00:05:58,324
Calves don't come by timetable, lady.
- Well trains do.
66
00:06:01,093 --> 00:06:02,789
Yes, ma'am.
- Goodbye, Miss Fiske.
67
00:06:03,093 --> 00:06:05,919
Goodbye, Miss Ellen.
- Goodbye, Lucy.
68
00:06:08,225 --> 00:06:10,399
Don't forget the allowance
from you-know-who.
69
00:06:10,690 --> 00:06:11,943
No, I shan't.
70
00:06:12,751 --> 00:06:13,558
Goodbye.
71
00:06:14,089 --> 00:06:15,295
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss.
72
00:06:16,549 --> 00:06:18,440
Alright now, there is a
day's work to be done.
73
00:06:43,285 --> 00:06:46,731
La, la, la .. la, la, la.
74
00:06:47,792 --> 00:06:51,445
This is nice. It's very, very nice.
- What's that you have there, Miss?
75
00:06:52,224 --> 00:06:55,022
It's called the New Comic Opera.
It's all the rage in London.
76
00:06:55,382 --> 00:06:56,355
The Mi-Ka-Do.
77
00:06:57,272 --> 00:06:58,355
Mikado.
78
00:06:59,483 --> 00:07:02,512
I used to tour the provinces with
the gentleman who sent it to me.
79
00:07:02,932 --> 00:07:05,701
Look, he signed it for me:
'Rutland Barington'.
80
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,844
'For my adored Leonora
with fond memories of ..'
81
00:07:12,167 --> 00:07:14,032
Never mind about that.
Go and do the dishes.
82
00:07:14,248 --> 00:07:15,034
Yes, Miss.
83
00:07:18,969 --> 00:07:23,159
<i>On a tree by a willow, a little tom-tit</i>.
84
00:07:23,685 --> 00:07:27,337
<i>Sang: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
85
00:07:27,860 --> 00:07:32,012
<i>And I said to him: dicky-bird,
why do you sit?</i>
86
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:36,024
<i>Singing: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
87
00:07:40,329 --> 00:07:41,550
Go on. Don't stop.
88
00:07:41,803 --> 00:07:45,343
Who are you? What are you doing here?
- Listening .. very nice too.
89
00:07:46,281 --> 00:07:48,810
What do you want?
- Ask me in and I'll tell you.
90
00:07:52,312 --> 00:07:55,617
Anyway young man, you may
come in .. but mind your manners.
91
00:07:56,854 --> 00:07:57,794
Alright, Miss.
92
00:08:06,770 --> 00:08:09,470
Isn't this where Miss Ellen Creed lives?
- Yes, she lives here.
93
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:12,146
What do you wish to see her about?
- It's a personal matter.
94
00:08:13,315 --> 00:08:15,156
She's my aunt. I'm Albert Feather.
95
00:08:15,372 --> 00:08:17,189
Your aunt?
- Right.
96
00:08:17,842 --> 00:08:20,039
Her mother was my stepfather's
uncle's second wife.
97
00:08:22,067 --> 00:08:24,058
And where do you come from?
- Gravesend.
98
00:08:24,649 --> 00:08:26,422
I .. I work in a bank there.
99
00:08:26,875 --> 00:08:28,891
It's a very long walk.
Hadn't you better sit down?
100
00:08:29,598 --> 00:08:30,640
Thank you.
101
00:08:33,063 --> 00:08:34,628
I'm afraid it's all been for nothing.
102
00:08:34,844 --> 00:08:37,420
Your aunt Ellen has gone to
London on some business for me.
103
00:08:38,218 --> 00:08:39,462
How long will she be away?
104
00:08:39,790 --> 00:08:41,215
A few days.
- A few?
105
00:08:43,071 --> 00:08:44,665
Blimey. That will be too late.
106
00:08:45,843 --> 00:08:47,270
Is there anything I can do?
107
00:08:47,764 --> 00:08:51,327
I'm Miss Fiske. Your aunt has been
working here as a housekeeper/companion.
108
00:08:52,049 --> 00:08:54,325
I didn't know.
I haven't seen her for five years.
109
00:08:56,066 --> 00:08:57,102
Can I help?
110
00:08:59,294 --> 00:09:00,176
I wonder.
111
00:09:00,570 --> 00:09:01,642
What's the trouble?
112
00:09:02,394 --> 00:09:03,435
Or is it trouble?
113
00:09:04,397 --> 00:09:07,440
It's trouble right enough.
I hardly like to tell you.
114
00:09:08,163 --> 00:09:09,437
Oh, I see.
115
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:11,115
What's the amount?
116
00:09:12,388 --> 00:09:14,291
Twelve pounds.
- How much?
117
00:09:14,952 --> 00:09:17,446
Twelve pounds.
- My goodness. That's a lot of money.
118
00:09:17,662 --> 00:09:19,564
I know. What's worse,
I must have it by tonight.
119
00:09:19,937 --> 00:09:21,177
I'm short at the bank.
120
00:09:21,937 --> 00:09:24,425
It means jail if I can't put it back
before the cashier checks up.
121
00:09:25,063 --> 00:09:27,092
Gambling?
- No. A girl.
122
00:09:28,525 --> 00:09:29,814
Are you engaged to her?
123
00:09:30,198 --> 00:09:31,426
No. She's an actress.
124
00:09:32,294 --> 00:09:34,143
She was in a travelling
company in Gravesend.
125
00:09:34,463 --> 00:09:36,933
What? At the Old Grand?
126
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:39,551
You know it?
- I played there.
127
00:09:40,084 --> 00:09:41,113
Years ago.
128
00:09:41,968 --> 00:09:43,041
You were an actress?
129
00:09:43,648 --> 00:09:45,054
Front row of the chorus.
130
00:09:45,889 --> 00:09:47,868
Fourth from the right.
131
00:09:48,396 --> 00:09:49,710
She was in the chorus too.
132
00:09:50,179 --> 00:09:51,820
I expect you took her out to supper.
133
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:54,542
Then she persuaded you to
go round the shops with her.
134
00:09:55,486 --> 00:09:56,610
How did you know?
135
00:09:58,034 --> 00:09:59,272
'Imagination', my boy.
136
00:10:01,410 --> 00:10:03,427
Anyway, she's over the hills
now to some other town.
137
00:10:03,731 --> 00:10:05,583
And with some other fool.
The little cheat.
138
00:10:10,573 --> 00:10:13,436
Don't worry any more about it.
I'll give you the twelve pounds.
139
00:10:14,686 --> 00:10:15,719
You will?
140
00:10:16,204 --> 00:10:19,080
Perhaps I owe it to you .. in a sense.
141
00:10:20,452 --> 00:10:21,783
Or to some other fool.
142
00:10:22,564 --> 00:10:23,754
You're a life-saver.
143
00:10:24,208 --> 00:10:26,940
Now you just wait here. I'll just
run upstairs and get my keys.
144
00:10:31,814 --> 00:10:33,378
A pity there aren't more like you.
145
00:10:33,970 --> 00:10:35,850
That my, lad, is a matter of opinion.
146
00:10:38,268 --> 00:10:40,807
Do you mind if I tickle on your ivories?
- No, do.
147
00:10:41,403 --> 00:10:42,190
Thank you.
148
00:10:46,990 --> 00:10:50,944
<i>It's the same the whole world over</i>.
149
00:10:52,269 --> 00:10:53,102
<i>It's</i> ..
150
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,183
<i>It's the poor what gets the blame</i>.
151
00:11:04,394 --> 00:11:08,374
<i>While the rich has all the pleasures</i>.
152
00:11:09,117 --> 00:11:12,780
<i>Now, ain't that the blinking shame</i>.
153
00:11:19,442 --> 00:11:20,183
Hello.
154
00:11:20,703 --> 00:11:21,996
You did scare me.
155
00:11:22,780 --> 00:11:24,167
I thought I was hearing things.
156
00:11:24,565 --> 00:11:25,460
You were.
157
00:11:25,819 --> 00:11:26,681
But I mean.
158
00:11:27,344 --> 00:11:28,245
A man's voice.
159
00:11:29,023 --> 00:11:30,360
So funny here.
160
00:11:32,142 --> 00:11:34,993
Doesn't the tide wash up
many male fish, my angel?
161
00:11:35,476 --> 00:11:38,023
A man is as scarce as
hansom cabs in these parts.
162
00:11:38,377 --> 00:11:40,049
That is, all but the old ones.
163
00:11:40,330 --> 00:11:43,699
The young ones go off to London or
some foreign parts as soon as they can.
164
00:11:44,405 --> 00:11:45,990
Are you going off to foreign parts?
165
00:11:46,537 --> 00:11:48,929
It depends.
- Depends on what?
166
00:11:49,541 --> 00:11:51,342
If anyone ever asks me.
167
00:11:52,252 --> 00:11:54,778
I shouldn't think with eyes like them
there would be any difficulty.
168
00:11:55,570 --> 00:11:56,438
Go on.
169
00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:59,288
What's your name?
- Lucy.
170
00:11:59,889 --> 00:12:02,390
What's yours?
- Albert. I'm Miss Creel's nephew.
171
00:12:02,791 --> 00:12:05,195
Funny .. I never heard about you.
172
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,223
That must be remedied.
173
00:12:09,483 --> 00:12:12,253
How about making the most of a male
fish now one has been washed up, eh?
174
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,043
What about a smacker?
- No, you mustn't.
175
00:12:15,952 --> 00:12:17,175
I don't know you.
176
00:12:17,650 --> 00:12:19,993
You needn't know people to kiss them.
- I do.
177
00:12:21,065 --> 00:12:22,481
Alright my girl. It's your loss.
178
00:12:23,722 --> 00:12:25,495
You think a lot of yourself, don't you?
179
00:12:36,494 --> 00:12:39,581
Has Lucy been entertaining you, Albert?
- Eh?
180
00:12:40,669 --> 00:12:42,777
She came in. We had a word or two.
181
00:12:43,910 --> 00:12:46,728
Nice looker, isn't she?
- I didn't notice.
182
00:12:47,252 --> 00:12:50,496
Come now, Albert.
Don't lose your sense of humour.
183
00:12:50,712 --> 00:12:53,147
I hope you're not one of those who
won't benefit from experience.
184
00:12:53,446 --> 00:12:57,232
Otherwise my twelve pounds
will be rather wasted, won't it.
185
00:12:58,006 --> 00:12:59,937
Don't you worry Miss Fiske.
I've had my lesson.
186
00:13:00,307 --> 00:13:01,631
I hope so.
187
00:13:05,189 --> 00:13:07,912
Now .. this is where we
keep our little hoard.
188
00:13:09,396 --> 00:13:11,055
It's an old bake-oven really.
189
00:13:12,795 --> 00:13:14,007
A proper tomb, isn't it?
190
00:13:15,288 --> 00:13:16,161
What's that?
191
00:13:16,603 --> 00:13:18,678
This is what they used to
pull the loaves out with.
192
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:24,941
Of course, we don't use it as a
bake-oven. Hasn't been used in years.
193
00:13:30,894 --> 00:13:31,880
Now then.
194
00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:34,726
Twelve pounds, I think you said.
195
00:13:35,604 --> 00:13:37,505
You couldn't make if fifteen?
- No, I couldn't.
196
00:13:37,721 --> 00:13:38,593
You couldn't?
197
00:13:40,918 --> 00:13:42,648
Do I give you an I.O.U.?
198
00:13:43,001 --> 00:13:44,040
No thank you.
199
00:13:44,453 --> 00:13:45,721
This isn't a loan.
200
00:13:46,087 --> 00:13:49,548
I shouldn't like you to incur the
remorse of not paying it back.
201
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:51,267
You are a daisy.
202
00:13:53,929 --> 00:13:55,680
Very prettily done, Albert.
203
00:14:00,308 --> 00:14:02,327
Now, let's forget all about it.
204
00:14:04,460 --> 00:14:06,870
If you came next week, you'd have
found three of your aunts here.
205
00:14:07,162 --> 00:14:09,049
Ellen is bringing her
sisters back from London.
206
00:14:09,406 --> 00:14:11,513
What, the potty ones?
- Potty?
207
00:14:11,729 --> 00:14:13,188
Queer as mice in a cage.
208
00:14:14,466 --> 00:14:16,775
They're quite harmless.
Especially when aunt Ellen's around.
209
00:14:17,257 --> 00:14:20,141
For comfort, they're coming
to stay here for a few days.
210
00:14:20,646 --> 00:14:23,031
They seem to mean quite a
great deal to your aunt Ellen.
211
00:14:23,247 --> 00:14:24,573
Oh, they would.
212
00:14:25,219 --> 00:14:27,164
She's looked after them
since she was a kid.
213
00:14:27,426 --> 00:14:30,676
She's watched over them like they were
a couple of perishing babes-in-arms.
214
00:14:31,397 --> 00:14:34,292
I think that's very commendable of her.
- Perhaps, but ..
215
00:14:34,796 --> 00:14:36,355
Think of all the fun she's missing.
216
00:14:37,398 --> 00:14:40,282
What, for example?
- You know.
217
00:14:41,511 --> 00:14:42,582
I see.
218
00:14:43,201 --> 00:14:46,094
I have to be toddling along.
I'll pay you back as soon as I can.
219
00:14:51,506 --> 00:14:54,128
I'd appreciate if you don't mention
our little transaction to aunt Ellen.
220
00:14:54,344 --> 00:14:55,709
Very well. If you like.
221
00:14:56,156 --> 00:14:57,446
How about .. whatsername?
222
00:14:57,987 --> 00:15:00,717
Lucy? Oh she won't say anything.
I'll take care of that.
223
00:15:01,147 --> 00:15:01,848
Thanks.
224
00:15:04,128 --> 00:15:05,104
So long my lady.
225
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,428
And again from the heart. I'll never
forget your kindness as long as I live.
226
00:15:10,954 --> 00:15:12,887
I hope you live a great
deal longer than that.
227
00:15:41,690 --> 00:15:45,882
Isn't it funny, Ellen? You can't see
the wind and you can't touch it.
228
00:15:46,164 --> 00:15:47,202
But it's there.
229
00:15:48,220 --> 00:15:51,549
I think you'd better have this round
you, dear. It's getting quite chilly.
230
00:15:52,323 --> 00:15:54,061
Listen .. what's that?
231
00:15:54,324 --> 00:15:56,455
Those are The Priory bells, dear.
From over the marshes.
232
00:15:56,671 --> 00:15:58,875
Oh .. I shan't like that.
233
00:16:00,388 --> 00:16:03,269
She hates bells.
- Especially church bells.
234
00:16:03,959 --> 00:16:06,415
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong.
235
00:16:06,823 --> 00:16:08,452
Aren't the marshes pretty.
236
00:16:09,396 --> 00:16:11,378
The grass is too long and untidy.
237
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,566
If I had a knife and a bit of string,
I'd cut it and tie it up in bundles.
238
00:16:18,823 --> 00:16:21,809
Are there any sheep here on the marshes?
- Yes, Miss.
239
00:16:22,119 --> 00:16:25,040
I think sheep are so clever to
chew their cud the way they do.
240
00:16:25,490 --> 00:16:26,918
It's very difficult.
241
00:16:27,875 --> 00:16:29,030
I've tried.
242
00:16:31,415 --> 00:16:34,749
You ought to be a sailor, Miss.
They're always chewing tobacco.
243
00:16:35,584 --> 00:16:37,415
The man I was to marry was a sailor.
244
00:16:38,195 --> 00:16:39,482
He gave me this.
245
00:16:40,242 --> 00:16:42,105
It's all I have to remember him by.
246
00:16:43,219 --> 00:16:44,631
He was wrecked at sea.
247
00:16:46,036 --> 00:16:47,692
They were all drowned.
248
00:16:48,609 --> 00:16:50,781
It must have been a bit of
sadness for you, Missy.
249
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,617
Oh no. I've quite forgotten
what he looked like.
250
00:16:53,867 --> 00:16:58,114
I saw a drowned man once. They took
him out of the Thames. He was green.
251
00:16:59,726 --> 00:17:00,800
Frogs.
252
00:17:01,614 --> 00:17:03,598
There must be lots of frogs.
253
00:17:04,872 --> 00:17:07,194
We used to have such
fun with them at home.
254
00:17:07,942 --> 00:17:11,767
We used to put them on the dining-table
and make them jump in the marmalade pot.
255
00:17:24,590 --> 00:17:27,124
Look. There's a bird's nest.
- So there is.
256
00:17:27,425 --> 00:17:29,585
It must be last summer's.
- I should like to have that.
257
00:17:29,801 --> 00:17:30,956
Bates, stop please.
258
00:17:33,961 --> 00:17:35,709
Oh .. I have it.
259
00:17:37,576 --> 00:17:40,244
Isn't it beautiful?
- Oh dear, it's all cobwebby.
260
00:17:41,088 --> 00:17:43,437
And it has a horrid smell.
- It mustn't be wasted.
261
00:17:43,773 --> 00:17:46,676
I shall save it until next year
and then I'll put it back again.
262
00:17:47,792 --> 00:17:49,568
Who knows where we'll be next year?
263
00:17:50,919 --> 00:17:53,493
Not in London anyway. You promised that.
264
00:17:54,646 --> 00:17:56,807
Yes, I promised that.
- Look.
265
00:17:59,651 --> 00:18:02,019
Louisa .. how did that happen?
266
00:18:02,290 --> 00:18:03,334
She did it.
- Who?
267
00:18:03,721 --> 00:18:04,985
That woman in London.
268
00:18:05,980 --> 00:18:08,599
She didn't give us enough food either.
- 'Discipline' she said.
269
00:18:09,276 --> 00:18:11,196
Louisa used to cry all night.
270
00:18:11,605 --> 00:18:13,863
I didn't. She couldn't discipline me.
271
00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:17,371
We'll be alright here
though with Miss Fiske.
272
00:18:17,911 --> 00:18:18,927
She won't beat us.
273
00:18:20,371 --> 00:18:22,086
No darling, she won't beat you.
274
00:18:23,299 --> 00:18:24,774
No-one will again. Ever.
275
00:18:35,203 --> 00:18:38,132
Now remember what I told you both.
You're not to talk too much.
276
00:18:38,505 --> 00:18:40,175
Wait until Miss Fiske knows you better.
277
00:18:40,391 --> 00:18:42,433
How can she get to know
us better if we don't talk?
278
00:18:43,833 --> 00:18:45,955
Come along dear.
Bates, get the luggage, will you.
279
00:18:46,171 --> 00:18:47,147
Yes, ma'am.
280
00:18:55,788 --> 00:18:57,441
They look harmless.
- What, Miss?
281
00:18:58,044 --> 00:19:00,065
Never mind. Go and put the kettle on.
- Yes, Miss.
282
00:19:07,201 --> 00:19:09,332
Well, here we are.
- I'm glad.
283
00:19:09,821 --> 00:19:12,750
Miss Fiske .. my sister
Emily, my sister Louisa.
284
00:19:13,012 --> 00:19:15,614
How do you do, Emily?
- We're very glad to be here.
285
00:19:16,355 --> 00:19:18,625
Louisa.
- I don't like people to touch me.
286
00:19:20,092 --> 00:19:22,203
I'm afraid Miss Fiske will
think you're very rude.
287
00:19:22,637 --> 00:19:25,893
They're rather tired, poor dears.
- I never get tired.
288
00:19:26,246 --> 00:19:28,424
I sometimes walk about
the house all night.
289
00:19:29,354 --> 00:19:32,358
Do you indeed?
- No, of course she doesn't, Miss Fiske.
290
00:19:35,582 --> 00:19:37,090
What beautiful furniture.
291
00:19:37,766 --> 00:19:40,401
Just like we used to have
before we lost all our money.
292
00:19:40,705 --> 00:19:44,104
Some of these <i>are </i>our things, dear.
Miss Fiske bought them at my Curio Shop.
293
00:19:44,499 --> 00:19:45,716
I want my tea.
294
00:19:45,982 --> 00:19:49,687
Emily, see .. here's the
grand champ himself.
295
00:19:50,198 --> 00:19:52,303
Remember when father bought him for us?
296
00:19:52,874 --> 00:19:54,913
I wonder if his head still nods.
297
00:19:55,230 --> 00:19:57,850
Ding-dong, ding-dong ..
- Louisa, dear.
298
00:19:58,188 --> 00:20:00,094
Bates, be careful.
You'll scratch the furniture.
299
00:20:00,329 --> 00:20:01,719
Very good, ma'am.
300
00:20:07,149 --> 00:20:09,201
I must say you've brought
enough luggage with you.
301
00:20:09,549 --> 00:20:11,220
We've brought everything.
- Everything?
302
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,760
We had to.
- Why?
303
00:20:13,089 --> 00:20:14,453
When they sent for the police.
304
00:20:14,787 --> 00:20:17,483
Now, my dears. I'm sure all this
can't possibly interest Miss Fiske.
305
00:20:17,819 --> 00:20:19,779
I think we should go up
and rest a bit before tea.
306
00:20:20,125 --> 00:20:22,023
Whatever you say, Ellen.
- Come along, Emily.
307
00:20:22,239 --> 00:20:24,948
That smelly train was very dirty.
308
00:20:25,188 --> 00:20:28,708
She's always fussing about the dirt.
I hope you keep things tidy here.
309
00:20:28,924 --> 00:20:32,483
Cleanliness is next to
Godliness .. don't you agree?
310
00:20:33,018 --> 00:20:35,985
Well .. I'm quite clean, I believe.
311
00:20:36,652 --> 00:20:39,005
But I don't know that
I'm particularly Godly.
312
00:20:39,668 --> 00:20:41,267
I thought you were a Roman.
313
00:20:41,837 --> 00:20:42,824
Isn't that yours?
314
00:20:43,077 --> 00:20:45,458
Miss Fiske is a Roman, dear.
And a very devoted one.
315
00:20:45,929 --> 00:20:47,614
Come along Louisa, Emily.
316
00:20:47,957 --> 00:20:50,102
Father, didn't approve of Romans.
317
00:20:52,032 --> 00:20:53,290
And neither do I.
318
00:21:13,724 --> 00:21:16,116
I expect it's one of those boobies.
319
00:21:16,588 --> 00:21:20,641
Miss Emily was drawing cat's faces on
brown paper yesterday when you were out.
320
00:21:21,138 --> 00:21:23,357
I can't stand it. I can't stand it.
321
00:21:23,721 --> 00:21:26,634
My lovely paisley shawl. It's ruined.
322
00:21:27,927 --> 00:21:31,189
You'd better get some vinegar and see
if you can do something about this spot.
323
00:21:31,443 --> 00:21:32,256
Yes, Miss.
324
00:21:32,810 --> 00:21:35,900
I'm utterly exhausted clearing
up after their messes.
325
00:21:36,172 --> 00:21:38,204
I don't wonder, Miss. So am I.
326
00:21:38,529 --> 00:21:42,030
And you should see their
bedroom. It's like a goat's-pen.
327
00:21:42,483 --> 00:21:45,783
I know it. If it isn't one
thing, it's another.
328
00:21:46,153 --> 00:21:49,633
For the last six weeks were like living
in the middle of Piccadilly Circus.
329
00:21:50,566 --> 00:21:52,478
My heart won't stand it.
330
00:21:53,336 --> 00:21:55,144
Go and get my smelling salts.
331
00:21:56,829 --> 00:21:59,720
Where are they, Miss?
- In the usual place, of course.
332
00:21:59,984 --> 00:22:01,928
Nothing is in the usual
place these days.
333
00:22:02,169 --> 00:22:02,822
No.
334
00:22:03,664 --> 00:22:05,532
Well then, get me a cold compress.
335
00:22:06,303 --> 00:22:09,597
I shall lie down and
take a nap while I can.
336
00:22:13,641 --> 00:22:14,627
Miss Fiske.
337
00:22:14,950 --> 00:22:18,862
Yes, what is it? What is it?
- Will they be staying much longer?
338
00:22:20,743 --> 00:22:23,049
They'll have my invitation
to go this evening.
339
00:22:26,420 --> 00:22:30,273
Oh dear, I wonder where Emily has
gone to. She ought to be back by now.
340
00:22:31,513 --> 00:22:33,331
I can't see her anywhere.
341
00:22:33,776 --> 00:22:37,997
I wish I were brave like Emily.
I should like to take long walks too.
342
00:22:38,404 --> 00:22:40,016
And pick up things.
343
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,248
Perhaps I shall be able to
after we've stayed here longer.
344
00:22:44,902 --> 00:22:46,145
I'm sure you will, dear.
345
00:22:46,442 --> 00:22:48,530
I shall be staying here, shan't I?
346
00:22:49,544 --> 00:22:52,354
You're not planning to send us away?
Are you, Ellen?
347
00:22:53,227 --> 00:22:54,739
No dear. Of course I'm not.
348
00:22:55,199 --> 00:22:57,189
This is what you've always promised us.
349
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,885
A little place in the country
where we can always be safe.
350
00:23:01,424 --> 00:23:04,604
Yes .. it's the one thing
I've been working for.
351
00:23:05,415 --> 00:23:07,236
Ever since we had to
give up the old house.
352
00:23:07,574 --> 00:23:10,567
Naturally, Estuary House
could never be like that.
353
00:23:11,114 --> 00:23:12,511
But it's nice enough.
354
00:23:12,898 --> 00:23:14,774
Yes, and Miss Fiske has
been very kind to us.
355
00:23:15,471 --> 00:23:18,924
Miss Fiske .. may I tell
you something, Ellen?
356
00:23:19,743 --> 00:23:21,102
Just one of my secrets.
357
00:23:21,866 --> 00:23:22,931
Of course you may.
358
00:23:23,717 --> 00:23:25,589
I don't like Miss Fiske.
359
00:23:27,025 --> 00:23:30,951
Couldn't we send her away? Then it
would <i>really</i> be just the three of us.
360
00:23:31,260 --> 00:23:33,656
But I keep telling you,
Louisa. It's <i>her</i> house.
361
00:23:34,059 --> 00:23:36,189
Oh no. You'll never
make me believe that.
362
00:23:36,987 --> 00:23:38,457
All out lovely things are there.
363
00:23:39,795 --> 00:23:43,336
We'll never have to go away, will we?
- No, darling. I promised you.
364
00:23:44,163 --> 00:23:44,998
Never.
365
00:23:46,020 --> 00:23:48,323
I think Miss Fiske wants us to go.
366
00:23:49,091 --> 00:23:50,341
Both of us.
367
00:23:50,928 --> 00:23:52,812
I'm sure I can persuade
her to let you stay.
368
00:23:54,613 --> 00:23:56,349
Oh dear, I do wish Emily would come.
369
00:23:56,602 --> 00:23:58,912
Maybe we'd better get along
home in case she's waiting there.
370
00:23:59,701 --> 00:24:00,838
Come along, dear.
371
00:24:01,945 --> 00:24:04,810
I don't want her upsetting Miss Fiske
again. She can be very tactless.
372
00:24:23,370 --> 00:24:25,220
Here girl, take this.
373
00:24:25,436 --> 00:24:27,267
Thanks a lot. What are we to do with it?
374
00:24:27,506 --> 00:24:29,709
Put it in the woodshed,
where it belongs.
375
00:24:29,962 --> 00:24:33,268
The woodshed is full. I won't have
you cluttering up my kitchen with it.
376
00:24:33,731 --> 00:24:35,093
Very well then.
377
00:24:44,580 --> 00:24:46,788
Oh dear ..
378
00:24:48,844 --> 00:24:50,225
What is it now?
379
00:24:54,808 --> 00:24:56,535
Wait until Miss Fiske sees this.
380
00:24:57,306 --> 00:24:59,938
What's the matter now? My goodness.
381
00:25:00,154 --> 00:25:02,116
More wood?
- Yes. Miss Emily dumped it.
382
00:25:02,602 --> 00:25:04,986
Never mind. You get out of here.
- I got a nice lot today.
383
00:25:05,672 --> 00:25:08,305
What are you thinking of? Making a
mess with it all over my clean floor.
384
00:25:08,521 --> 00:25:10,394
The girl wouldn't let
me put it in the kitchen.
385
00:25:10,671 --> 00:25:13,708
She's quite right. I told you to stop
bringing in wood. We have enough.
386
00:25:13,924 --> 00:25:16,497
I must tidy up the river
banks. I hate waste.
387
00:25:16,713 --> 00:25:18,995
And I hate litter. Now you
clear it away immediately.
388
00:25:19,239 --> 00:25:21,201
I won't be ordered to do things.
389
00:25:22,767 --> 00:25:24,118
This is too much.
390
00:25:24,496 --> 00:25:26,293
My best polished table.
391
00:25:26,789 --> 00:25:28,933
Look how these shells have scratched it.
392
00:25:29,269 --> 00:25:31,965
What's this? Wet seaweed and a horrid ..
393
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,604
Dead bird.
394
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,561
Leave my bird alone. And my shells.
395
00:25:37,060 --> 00:25:38,248
They are my treasures.
396
00:25:38,610 --> 00:25:41,515
We don't understand expensive things.
It's so long since we had any.
397
00:25:41,981 --> 00:25:44,044
I know it's very simple of me.
But I am simple.
398
00:25:44,260 --> 00:25:46,087
Emily .. what's wrong?
399
00:25:46,309 --> 00:25:48,986
I hate her. She threw my
bird into the fireplace.
400
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,507
Emily, control yourself.
401
00:25:50,723 --> 00:25:52,603
See what she's done
with her ridiculous shells.
402
00:25:52,885 --> 00:25:54,816
It will take a month's
polishing to put it right.
403
00:25:55,032 --> 00:25:56,708
I'm sorry Miss Fiske, I'll put it right.
404
00:25:57,276 --> 00:26:00,394
No Ellen, you shan't. I'll do it.
Let me do it. I'll polish it.
405
00:26:00,610 --> 00:26:02,434
Every day, all through the winter.
406
00:26:02,769 --> 00:26:05,511
Sweet of you, Louisa. But I doubt
you'll be here through the winter.
407
00:26:05,969 --> 00:26:07,630
But we shall. Ellen said so.
408
00:26:07,953 --> 00:26:10,046
You're mistaken, Louisa.
I said nothing of the kind.
409
00:26:10,262 --> 00:26:12,701
But you did. You promised.
- Louisa, will you be quiet.
410
00:26:16,013 --> 00:26:18,157
My heavens. This is the last straw.
411
00:26:18,802 --> 00:26:20,996
You'll drive me as crazy as yourselves.
412
00:26:24,448 --> 00:26:25,406
Oh, Ellen.
413
00:26:27,312 --> 00:26:28,535
Miss Fiske.
414
00:26:29,134 --> 00:26:31,588
I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to say that, but ..
415
00:26:32,377 --> 00:26:34,890
I've had about as much as I can endure.
416
00:26:36,396 --> 00:26:39,219
Emily .. take Louisa upstairs.
417
00:26:39,889 --> 00:26:41,482
Now, stop your crying, Louisa.
418
00:26:42,358 --> 00:26:44,045
There's nothing to cry about.
419
00:26:45,286 --> 00:26:46,141
Do you hear?
420
00:26:46,743 --> 00:26:48,817
Go upstairs. Both of you.
421
00:26:51,981 --> 00:26:53,380
And close the door behind you.
422
00:26:58,271 --> 00:27:00,113
That was a cruel thing to say.
423
00:27:00,788 --> 00:27:01,944
But it's true.
424
00:27:02,778 --> 00:27:06,123
One with her telescope and the other
with her mania for collecting things.
425
00:27:06,703 --> 00:27:08,149
They are insane, both of them.
426
00:27:08,609 --> 00:27:10,479
Please don't use that word again.
427
00:27:11,078 --> 00:27:12,310
Emily was right.
428
00:27:12,956 --> 00:27:14,664
But then people who
have all they want ..
429
00:27:15,013 --> 00:27:17,979
Never understand how much the smallest
things mean to those who haven't.
430
00:27:18,345 --> 00:27:19,046
Really?
431
00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:21,362
I don't think this calls for a sermon.
432
00:27:22,276 --> 00:27:24,365
I've been more than generous
to you and your sisters.
433
00:27:24,581 --> 00:27:26,750
People have always been very
generous to you, Miss Fiske.
434
00:27:26,966 --> 00:27:29,126
My sisters and I have never had
friends to send <i>us</i> money.
435
00:27:29,379 --> 00:27:31,480
That's hardly my fault, is it.
- No.
436
00:27:31,793 --> 00:27:35,189
Don't you feel you have a responsibility
to those less fortunate than you?
437
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,615
I don't know what you're talking about.
438
00:27:38,441 --> 00:27:40,476
Life hasn't been very
kind to us, Miss Fiske.
439
00:27:40,817 --> 00:27:42,798
Every penny we've ever
had, I've had to work for.
440
00:27:43,014 --> 00:27:45,706
Every penny. But at least
we have our self-respect.
441
00:27:47,024 --> 00:27:48,654
How dare you.
442
00:27:49,634 --> 00:27:51,866
How dare you criticise my life.
443
00:27:52,216 --> 00:27:55,606
Do you think I don't envy women who
have respectability? Who have families?
444
00:27:55,822 --> 00:27:58,890
Who aren't just forgotten and pensioned
off when they lose their stock-in-trade.
445
00:27:59,208 --> 00:28:01,196
Then you can't blame me
for fighting for my family.
446
00:28:01,412 --> 00:28:03,466
Very admirable, but it's
your family and not mine.
447
00:28:03,941 --> 00:28:05,065
Let me tell you this.
448
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,935
Your sisters, insane or not,
have overstayed their welcome.
449
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,611
I invite them here for two days
and they've stayed six weeks.
450
00:28:10,827 --> 00:28:13,450
Or perhaps you were planning
to keep them here forever?
451
00:28:14,485 --> 00:28:16,324
Well .. I had thought ..
452
00:28:17,124 --> 00:28:19,622
That I might pay something out
of my wages for their keep.
453
00:28:19,895 --> 00:28:22,261
Ellen, you're a hypocrite.
You're worse, you're a cheat.
454
00:28:22,937 --> 00:28:26,279
You meant to foist your wretched
brood on me and bleed me white.
455
00:28:26,626 --> 00:28:30,814
And when I saw through your scheme, you
had the insolence to turn and abuse me.
456
00:28:31,124 --> 00:28:32,701
But you've chosen the wrong woman.
457
00:28:32,917 --> 00:28:35,255
You get those sisters of yours
out of this house at once.
458
00:28:35,604 --> 00:28:37,644
And take a month's wages
and go with them.
459
00:28:39,743 --> 00:28:40,815
Miss Fiske.
460
00:29:08,710 --> 00:29:11,039
Ellen .. why aren't you in bed?
461
00:29:11,451 --> 00:29:13,179
Why are you prowling about at this hour?
462
00:29:13,761 --> 00:29:16,786
Miss Fiske, may I come in?
I must talk with you, please.
463
00:29:17,357 --> 00:29:18,516
Well, mind your tongue.
464
00:29:18,764 --> 00:29:20,987
We don't want any more of
this afternoon's unpleasantness.
465
00:29:23,612 --> 00:29:24,936
I'm sorry about that.
466
00:29:25,715 --> 00:29:27,833
I was wrong. I shouldn't
have spoken to you as I did.
467
00:29:28,791 --> 00:29:30,462
No .. you shouldn't.
468
00:29:37,617 --> 00:29:38,744
Miss Fiske.
469
00:29:39,702 --> 00:29:42,303
Do you remember the letter that arrived
the day I went away to London?
470
00:29:42,556 --> 00:29:46,058
Yes .. what about it?
- It was from their landlady.
471
00:29:46,613 --> 00:29:47,747
Emily and Louisa.
472
00:29:48,187 --> 00:29:49,552
Had been a little difficult.
473
00:29:49,893 --> 00:29:51,137
She'd sent for the police.
474
00:29:52,329 --> 00:29:54,369
They were going to be
put away in an institution.
475
00:29:54,764 --> 00:29:57,034
The landlady was quite right.
That's where they belong.
476
00:29:57,393 --> 00:30:00,433
But Miss Fiske, you don't
understand. They're my sisters.
477
00:30:00,820 --> 00:30:02,707
You don't know what I've
gone through for them.
478
00:30:02,923 --> 00:30:05,036
They've no-one else in the
world to turn to but me.
479
00:30:05,740 --> 00:30:08,948
I pleaded with the police to release
them. They agreed on one condition.
480
00:30:09,533 --> 00:30:11,458
That they were to remain
in my personal care.
481
00:30:11,740 --> 00:30:13,336
That I was to be responsible for them.
482
00:30:13,787 --> 00:30:15,440
And if there were any more complaints.
483
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,522
That they were to be put away forever.
That's why I can't send them away.
484
00:30:19,825 --> 00:30:21,889
All this devotion is
very admirable, Ellen.
485
00:30:22,285 --> 00:30:24,471
But I fail to see how I can
help in any way at all.
486
00:30:24,801 --> 00:30:26,903
Oh but you can. You can, Miss Fiske.
487
00:30:27,618 --> 00:30:29,823
I thought perhaps they
might use the attic upstairs.
488
00:30:30,162 --> 00:30:32,379
They'll stay there out of the
way where you don't see them.
489
00:30:32,716 --> 00:30:34,876
They could use the back stairs
when they come in and out.
490
00:30:35,129 --> 00:30:37,055
Ellen, what are you talking about?
491
00:30:37,271 --> 00:30:40,267
I promise they'll never come near you.
You'll never know they're in the house.
492
00:30:40,829 --> 00:30:43,797
I'll look after them myself.
I'll cook their meals for them.
493
00:30:44,387 --> 00:30:46,231
I promise they won't
be any more trouble.
494
00:30:46,913 --> 00:30:49,120
Miss Fiske, they must
be with me, they must.
495
00:30:49,439 --> 00:30:51,590
I'll pay for their keep.
I'll work for nothing.
496
00:30:51,834 --> 00:30:54,509
Please .. oh, please Miss Fiske.
497
00:30:54,829 --> 00:30:56,720
Ellen, have you quite
gone out of your mind?
498
00:30:57,064 --> 00:31:00,126
You must be blind if you can't realise
they'd always be getting in my way.
499
00:31:00,342 --> 00:31:02,612
You pack them off tomorrow.
- But, Miss Fiske. Won't ..?
500
00:31:02,828 --> 00:31:04,369
No Ellen, my mind is made up.
501
00:31:05,471 --> 00:31:09,239
If you want to, you can stay here a few
days until you've found a new situation.
502
00:31:10,018 --> 00:31:12,814
Now run along to bed. And make
certain they leave tomorrow.
503
00:31:14,132 --> 00:31:16,592
You wouldn't want me to be sending
for the police, would you?
504
00:31:18,682 --> 00:31:20,329
Goodnight Ellen. I'm tired.
505
00:31:24,230 --> 00:31:25,186
Goodnight.
506
00:31:48,528 --> 00:31:50,908
But you told her you were
going to send us away.
507
00:31:52,592 --> 00:31:54,344
I'm not going to send you away.
508
00:31:54,732 --> 00:31:56,620
We heard you. We were listening.
509
00:31:57,784 --> 00:31:59,386
Isn't she terrible, Ellen?
510
00:32:00,207 --> 00:32:01,536
She's wicked.
511
00:32:03,006 --> 00:32:04,907
I'm not going to send you away.
512
00:32:06,836 --> 00:32:07,678
Never.
513
00:32:08,554 --> 00:32:11,269
If you're not sending us away,
what are you going to do?
514
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,293
I don't know.
515
00:32:16,674 --> 00:32:17,831
I must think.
516
00:32:30,078 --> 00:32:32,550
I've always wanted
to explore an old castle.
517
00:32:32,971 --> 00:32:35,857
Will it have a dungeon do you think?
- They all have dungeons.
518
00:32:36,191 --> 00:32:36,978
With bats.
519
00:32:37,415 --> 00:32:39,138
No, dear. Bats are in belfries.
520
00:32:39,459 --> 00:32:43,180
There's sure to be secret passageways
and places where they'd hide things.
521
00:32:45,198 --> 00:32:46,346
Like that.
522
00:32:54,259 --> 00:32:58,372
Yes .. I'm sure Miss Fiske has lots
of exciting things hidden in there.
523
00:32:58,588 --> 00:33:00,212
Her jewels, I'm sure.
524
00:33:01,019 --> 00:33:04,181
I've looked in all her boxes and
haven't been able to find them.
525
00:33:04,718 --> 00:33:07,167
Are you both ready?
- Oh yes. Quite.
526
00:33:07,404 --> 00:33:10,004
I managed to pack all
the lunch into one bag.
527
00:33:10,660 --> 00:33:11,630
Mine.
528
00:33:12,914 --> 00:33:15,600
Come here and sit down.
I want to talk to you both.
529
00:33:25,193 --> 00:33:25,808
Now.
530
00:33:26,107 --> 00:33:28,868
I haven't told you the real reason why
you're being sent away for a whole day.
531
00:33:29,589 --> 00:33:32,633
The truth is I want to be entirely
alone with Miss Fiske for a few hours.
532
00:33:32,849 --> 00:33:34,817
Is that why you got rid of Lucy too?
533
00:33:35,131 --> 00:33:37,177
I didn't get rid of Lucy, Emily.
She had a toothache.
534
00:33:37,393 --> 00:33:40,293
Oh Ellen dear, you know that's
not true. She didn't want to go at all.
535
00:33:40,754 --> 00:33:42,833
I said she had a toothache, Louisa.
536
00:33:44,698 --> 00:33:45,628
Now listen.
537
00:33:46,220 --> 00:33:49,408
Last night, while you were both asleep,
I had a long talk with Miss Fiske.
538
00:33:50,131 --> 00:33:52,867
She's tired of the marshes
and wants to travel for a bit.
539
00:33:53,530 --> 00:33:55,633
I've persuaded her to
sell this house to me.
540
00:33:55,849 --> 00:33:58,210
Not really, Ellen?
- We haven't discussed price yet.
541
00:33:58,976 --> 00:34:02,422
That's why I must be alone with her, so
we can talk with nothing to distract us.
542
00:34:02,694 --> 00:34:05,355
She may want more than
you're prepared to pay.
543
00:34:07,101 --> 00:34:09,142
I'm prepared to pay
quite a big price, Emily.
544
00:34:09,569 --> 00:34:11,442
Oh, lovely, lovely, lovely.
545
00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:14,491
Oh Emily, aren't you excited?
- Louisa, be quiet.
546
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:17,415
Now, there's one more thing.
547
00:34:18,401 --> 00:34:19,716
The most important.
548
00:34:35,231 --> 00:34:36,722
You see this bible, both of you?
549
00:34:37,587 --> 00:34:39,899
I want you to swear on it.
By father's memory.
550
00:34:40,590 --> 00:34:43,550
That you'll never repeat a word of my
buying this house as long as you live.
551
00:34:45,940 --> 00:34:46,963
What do I say?
552
00:34:47,581 --> 00:34:48,963
Just say 'I swear'.
553
00:34:49,670 --> 00:34:51,113
Oh .. I swear.
554
00:34:51,554 --> 00:34:52,484
You too, Emily.
555
00:34:52,787 --> 00:34:54,831
I won't swear on the bible. It's wicked.
556
00:34:55,435 --> 00:34:56,571
If you don't Emily ..
557
00:34:56,869 --> 00:34:59,143
I shan't buy the house and I'll
send you both back to London.
558
00:34:59,426 --> 00:35:01,058
Oh Emily, be sensible.
559
00:35:01,660 --> 00:35:04,984
I don't like being made
to do things .. I promise.
560
00:35:05,604 --> 00:35:06,759
Now, remember.
561
00:35:07,527 --> 00:35:09,016
That's a sacred oath.
562
00:35:15,968 --> 00:35:18,162
Here's Bates. Hurry now.
There's no time to waste.
563

Drive slowly Bates.
Please don't let them get cold.
564
00:35:39,425 --> 00:35:42,412
You can take your time. I shan't be
expecting you back before dusk.

Very good, ma'am.
566
00:35:44,599 --> 00:35:47,698
Goodbye Ellen. I wish you could come.
- I wish you were coming too.

Goodbye Ellen.
- Goodbye.

Goodbye, dears.

Have a good time.
- Thank you.

I'm out of practice.
571
00:37:11,178 --> 00:37:14,210
To dear Louisa and dear Emily.
572
00:37:14,858 --> 00:37:16,359
May we never meet again.
573
00:37:22,767 --> 00:37:24,335
That is so good.

May we come in?
- Yes.
576
00:39:25,330 --> 00:39:28,536
I'd like to speak to Miss Ellen.
Unless Miss Fiske is back?
577
00:39:29,038 --> 00:39:32,096
No, she's still away. I'll fetch Ellen.
578
00:39:34,682 --> 00:39:36,292
We're making jam.
579
00:39:44,568 --> 00:39:45,883
Good evening.
580
00:39:46,963 --> 00:39:48,418
It isn't a very good one, is it?
581
00:39:48,747 --> 00:39:52,681
No, as a matter of fact it's not.
Cats and dogs.
582

Good evening, Sisters.
583

Sorry to keep you waiting.

00:39:58,866 --> 00:40:00,911
But we're in the middle of
putting up our quince jam.
585
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,087
Please don't apologise. I'm afraid
we've come on a begging errand.
586
00:40:04,550 --> 00:40:06,781
Our supplier of oil hasn't
arrived from Rochester.
587
00:40:07,225 --> 00:40:10,245
And the Reverend Mother wondered
if we might borrow a can until Sunday.

Will you run out to the shed
and bring in a can of paraffin.
591

Yes, Miss Ellen.
592

What are you doing here, hanging
about with the storm and all?

I've a little business inside.

What business?
- Listen, Lucky.

Is Miss Fiske about?
- No, she's away.

- She's here right enough.

And them two crazy sisters of hers.
- Does she know I've been here before?

No. Mistress said not to say.
- Good. Get on with your work.

I'll come in the front door

Not that we shan't .. later.

I'm very particular who I know.
607
00:41:30,205 --> 00:41:33,391
For a moment, when I saw the candles
burning, I thought Miss Fiske was back.

Ellen's been lighting them lately.

I really couldn't say, Sister.

She hasn't written for over a fortnight.

We were so surprised
to learn she'd gone.

She hadn't mentioned she was
planning a journey anywhere.

No. It was quite unexpected.

00:41:53,558 --> 00:41:56,143
She had a letter from some old
friends inviting her on a trip.

- She's taken to lighting those candles.

Go by the fire with your wet things.
669
00:44:55,353 --> 00:44:58,190
That's more like my loving auntie.
My very distant auntie.
670
00:44:59,169 --> 00:45:03,139
Now we'll have fun with Albert here.
I'll go and fetch him a dressing gown.
671
00:45:03,573 --> 00:45:06,231
And I'll get him a towel.
So he can dry himself.
672
00:45:16,093 --> 00:45:17,967
Blimey, if that don't half
make my mouth water.
673
00:45:18,244 --> 00:45:21,154
Some nice, tasty grub and something
warm to chase it down the hatchway.
674
00:45:21,586 --> 00:45:22,690
That's what I need.
675
00:45:23,023 --> 00:45:25,422
Albert, tell me. Why have you come here?
676
00:45:26,169 --> 00:45:28,530
That can wait until I'm dry outside.
And not so dry, in.
677
00:45:28,779 --> 00:45:30,060
There you are, Albert.
678
00:45:30,552 --> 00:45:31,975
Thanks, me old cup of tea.
679
00:45:32,431 --> 00:45:34,816
Emily, slice off some beef,
and put out the bread and cheese.
680
00:45:35,830 --> 00:45:38,158
A pint of half-and-half would
be the proper ticket with that.
681
00:45:38,374 --> 00:45:39,680
This isn't a Tavern, Albert.
682
00:45:40,391 --> 00:45:43,061
How about a spot of brandy to
take the damp out of my throat?
683
00:45:43,426 --> 00:45:45,228
I'm unsure there's any
left in the decanter.
684
00:45:45,444 --> 00:45:46,717
There's some in the cellar.
685
00:45:47,395 --> 00:45:49,813
A cellar, eh? Your Ladyship,
allow me to lead you to it.
686
00:45:50,487 --> 00:45:52,705
No .. I'll go myself.
687
00:45:54,020 --> 00:45:55,499
Make way for the Duchess.
688
00:46:27,321 --> 00:46:29,640
Blimey. The view from here
is the best on the marshes.
689
00:46:30,542 --> 00:46:33,481
I say auntie, is this all yours?
- No, of course not.
690
00:46:34,251 --> 00:46:36,166
It belongs to the woman
I work for. Miss Fiske.
691
00:46:37,011 --> 00:46:39,510
Where is she, might I ask?
- Away.
692
00:46:41,683 --> 00:46:44,148
Five years, auntie old girl.
- What of it?
693
00:46:44,453 --> 00:46:46,646
You've changed.
- You've not.
694
00:46:47,504 --> 00:46:50,373
The same big blue eyes though.
You're still Lady touch-me-not.
695
00:46:50,847 --> 00:46:53,265
Let go of me. I'm in no
mood for your foolishness.
696
00:46:54,208 --> 00:46:55,739
The way you seem to be all keyed up.
697
00:46:55,999 --> 00:46:58,072
A little of my foolishness
just might do you no harm.
698
00:47:01,721 --> 00:47:02,961
Here's your food, Albert.
699
00:47:04,313 --> 00:47:07,205
Run up to bed, both of you.
I want to talk with Albert.
700
00:47:07,421 --> 00:47:10,580
But we don't want to go to bed.
- No, we want to stay to talk to Albert.
701
00:47:10,905 --> 00:47:13,857
Go on, do as aunt Ellen says. Toddle off
to bye-byes like good little girls.
702
00:47:14,125 --> 00:47:16,821
Here, wait. Why don't you wet your
whistles. It will make you sleep tight.
703
00:47:17,178 --> 00:47:19,055
Sleep tight. Albert, you are silly.
704
00:47:19,553 --> 00:47:22,004
I don't think they'd better, Albert.
- What's the harm?
705
00:47:22,483 --> 00:47:24,708
You don't have a long-lost
nephew every night of the week.
706
00:47:25,121 --> 00:47:26,369
Fetch some glasses, Emily.
707
00:47:26,585 --> 00:47:29,797
Very well, but not too much now.
- Just a tiny thimbleful for me, Albert.
708
00:47:31,252 --> 00:47:32,688
How about you, aunt Ellen?
709
00:47:33,327 --> 00:47:34,716
Nothing for me, thank you.
710
00:47:37,757 --> 00:47:40,199
Now, my Siamese twins.
What about a toast, eh?
711
00:47:40,523 --> 00:47:41,905
I don't know any.
712
00:47:42,140 --> 00:47:44,008
In that case, here's to absent friends.
713
00:47:44,328 --> 00:47:45,464
Absent friends.
714
00:47:46,046 --> 00:47:48,543
Ellen, I suppose we
should think of Miss Fiske.
715
00:48:01,321 --> 00:48:03,604
Who put out those candles?
- What candles?
716
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,445
Oh those.
- It must have been the wind.
717
00:48:10,055 --> 00:48:11,998
Goodnight, Albert.
- Goodnight my lady.
718
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,204
Goodnight, Albert.
- Goodnight.
719
00:48:21,642 --> 00:48:23,379
It wasn't the wind, Ellen.
720
00:48:38,904 --> 00:48:41,109
I say auntie, you've not
turned Roman have you?
721
00:48:41,466 --> 00:48:42,763
I do this for a friend.
722
00:48:48,243 --> 00:48:49,129
Now, Albert.
723
00:48:49,869 --> 00:48:52,134
Let's stop all this 'auntie' nonsense
and get down to cases.
724
00:48:52,862 --> 00:48:54,748
Why have you come here
and what do you want?
725
00:48:55,073 --> 00:48:56,918
Well auntie .. I mean, Ellen.
726
00:48:57,692 --> 00:49:02,208
To cut it fine, I'm taking a compulsory
holiday from my bank over in Gravesend.
727
00:49:02,602 --> 00:49:05,107
In other words, you've lost your job.
- I've given it up.
728
00:49:05,738 --> 00:49:07,522
You haven't done anything
wrong, have you?
729
00:49:09,237 --> 00:49:11,605
I sort-of helped myself to a
little salary I wasn't entitled to.
730
00:49:12,885 --> 00:49:14,393
You mean, you've stolen money.
731
00:49:16,415 --> 00:49:19,181
This is rattling good brandy.
- Answer me, Albert.
732
00:49:21,270 --> 00:49:23,848
You've got it.
- How much?
733
00:49:24,594 --> 00:49:27,402
A small matter of a hundred pounds.
- I'll see.
734
00:49:30,342 --> 00:49:33,271
I suppose you want me to give you the
hundred pounds so you can put it back?
735
00:49:33,515 --> 00:49:36,477
I'm afraid it's too late for that.
They found out, the police.
736
00:49:37,180 --> 00:49:38,164
The police?
737
00:49:38,389 --> 00:49:42,016
A friend passed me the tip they were
coming. So I .. I took French leave.
738
00:49:42,455 --> 00:49:44,956
But .. they'll follow you.
They'll come here.
739
00:49:46,079 --> 00:49:49,774
Don't worry .. no-one knows I've got
relations out here on the marshes.
740
00:49:51,122 --> 00:49:52,699
I'll be safe here for a lifetime.
741
00:49:53,159 --> 00:49:55,319
You're certainly not going
to stay here for a lifetime.
742
00:49:55,769 --> 00:49:57,815
Surely you don't mind me
staying for a while, do you?
743
00:49:58,340 --> 00:50:00,745
Until it all blows over.
- Then what do you propose to do?
744
00:50:01,094 --> 00:50:03,725
Clear out of the country.
America, Australia. Any old where.
745
00:50:04,230 --> 00:50:06,552
I'm .. counting on you to help me.
746
00:50:06,868 --> 00:50:08,188
I need money for my passage.
747
00:50:08,631 --> 00:50:09,630
I'm .. I'm stony.
748
00:50:11,353 --> 00:50:13,246
It won't cost much. Steerage.
749
00:50:13,691 --> 00:50:15,882
I don't see why I should concern
myself with your affairs.
750
00:50:16,414 --> 00:50:17,870
I'll land in prison if you don't.
751
00:50:19,541 --> 00:50:22,420
You're not the sort to turn anybody down
who's in trouble and needed your help.
752
00:50:23,210 --> 00:50:24,969
You wouldn't fail your
own flesh and blood.
753
00:50:25,185 --> 00:50:27,020
I'm no flesh and blood of yours, Albert.
754
00:50:27,468 --> 00:50:29,199
Won't you give me a
chance to start again?
755
00:50:29,415 --> 00:50:30,734
I promise. Cross my heart.
756
00:50:31,090 --> 00:50:33,457
I'll never do anything wrong
again for the rest of my natural.
757
00:50:33,673 --> 00:50:35,143
Let me go.
758
00:50:41,301 --> 00:50:44,030
Very well. I'll do it.
- Bless you, Ellen.
759
00:50:44,415 --> 00:50:46,973
You're a daisy, you are.
- We'll talk about it in the morning.
760
00:50:47,820 --> 00:50:50,180
You can sleep on the sofa tonight.
- I don't mind where I sleep.
761
00:50:50,396 --> 00:50:51,419
But mind you ..
762
00:50:51,635 --> 00:50:54,218
You can only stay until I've
arranged your passage on the boat.
763
00:50:54,434 --> 00:50:57,466
Anything you say,
Ellen old girl .. what's that?
764
00:50:57,983 --> 00:50:59,945
That's just the maid.
She's been out on an errand.
765
00:51:01,006 --> 00:51:02,550
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss?
766
00:51:04,518 --> 00:51:06,220
They'll be a gentleman
staying the night.
767
00:51:06,639 --> 00:51:07,819
A gentleman staying?
768
00:51:08,099 --> 00:51:09,776
A relation. He'll sleep in here.
769
00:51:10,033 --> 00:51:12,679
Now go to your room and change your
wet clothes before you start sneezing.
770
00:51:12,895 --> 00:51:15,090
Yes, Miss .. goodnight.
- Goodnight.
771
00:51:15,306 --> 00:51:16,096
Goodnight.
772
00:51:16,620 --> 00:51:17,557
'Lucy', is it?
773
00:51:19,035 --> 00:51:20,472
Yes .. Lucy.
774
00:51:23,706 --> 00:51:25,687
I fancy that's all for
tonight, aunt Ellen.
775
00:51:26,138 --> 00:51:29,180
I'll just have a weed before
I turn in. The last of the day.
776
00:51:30,306 --> 00:51:32,729
You seem to be taking this
all very lightly, Albert.
777
00:51:33,490 --> 00:51:35,166
You have told me the worst, haven't you?
778
00:51:35,601 --> 00:51:38,110
I mean, there isn't anything else?
- What else?
779
00:51:40,653 --> 00:51:42,212
There are worse things than stealing.
780
00:51:42,987 --> 00:51:43,994
For instance?
781
00:51:45,828 --> 00:51:47,359
No, there's no blood on my hands.
782
00:51:47,743 --> 00:51:49,703
Putting people out calls
for <i>real </i>nerve, you know.
783
00:51:54,270 --> 00:51:55,303
Yes.
784
00:51:59,547 --> 00:52:01,321
Goodnight, Albert.
- Nighty night.
785
00:53:12,967 --> 00:53:15,145
Did you enjoy the sermon, Mr Bates?
786
00:53:15,603 --> 00:53:16,818
Mighty powerful, Miss.
787
00:53:17,293 --> 00:53:18,797
Yes. It was, wasn't it.
788
00:53:20,284 --> 00:53:22,109
But there was a lot I didn't understand.
789
00:53:23,490 --> 00:53:24,866
The part that went ..
790
00:53:25,639 --> 00:53:26,568
How was it?
791
00:53:27,496 --> 00:53:29,004
The wicked flee.
792
00:53:30,087 --> 00:53:32,717
When no man .. pursueth.
793
00:53:34,739 --> 00:53:36,575
But .. but ..
794
00:53:38,561 --> 00:53:41,233
The righteous are as bold as a lion.
795
00:54:08,319 --> 00:54:09,297
Well.
796
00:54:10,743 --> 00:54:12,479
What do you think you're doing?
797
00:54:13,690 --> 00:54:16,840
I fooled around with this padlock
last night and it .. came off.
798
00:54:17,592 --> 00:54:18,689
You shouldn't have.
799
00:54:19,344 --> 00:54:21,297
That's where Miss Fiske
keeps her valuables.
800
00:54:21,551 --> 00:54:23,794
How does she get at them?
With a pickaxe? Look.
801
00:54:25,898 --> 00:54:28,667
Well I never. All bricked up.
802
00:54:29,531 --> 00:54:31,248
I wonder why that was done.
803
00:54:31,530 --> 00:54:33,342
It wasn't that way the
last time I was here.
804
00:54:33,821 --> 00:54:35,868
So you've had your nose
in there before, have you?
805
00:54:36,948 --> 00:54:39,174
Funny what nasty thoughts
people have sometimes, isn't it.
806
00:54:39,390 --> 00:54:41,597
Funny how they're right
sometimes, isn't it.
807
00:54:59,037 --> 00:55:01,443
I wonder why anyone would want
to brick up a place like that?
808
00:55:02,492 --> 00:55:05,171
Maybe Miss Fiske put her jewels
in there before she went away.
809
00:55:05,807 --> 00:55:08,881
You know .. she's not one to take
any chances leaving them about.
810
00:55:09,234 --> 00:55:10,530
Even with your aunt Ellen.
811
00:55:12,817 --> 00:55:15,523
If there are any sparkles in there,
I wouldn't mind having a peep at them.
812
00:55:15,748 --> 00:55:18,262
I'm sure you wouldn't.
- And neither would you, I dare say.
813
00:55:19,833 --> 00:55:24,037
In fact .. I'm sure you'd like the feel
of some around your swan-like neck.
814
00:55:26,610 --> 00:55:28,629
A pretty pink ear like
that calls for diamonds.
815
00:55:29,014 --> 00:55:31,473
A wandering hand like yours
calls for a slap in the face.
816
00:55:31,821 --> 00:55:33,675
It's wicked to slap a
man's face on a Sunday.
817
00:55:33,981 --> 00:55:35,745
The better the day, the better the deed.
818
00:55:36,179 --> 00:55:37,595
That leaves my conscience clear.
819
00:55:42,243 --> 00:55:43,680
I'll scream.
820
00:55:45,098 --> 00:55:46,140
What's that?
821
00:55:52,703 --> 00:55:55,550
What do you think I'm made of?
- Sugar and spice.
822
00:55:56,874 --> 00:55:58,131
And everything nice.
823
00:56:01,849 --> 00:56:03,164
Blimey, you're strong.
824
00:56:06,001 --> 00:56:07,586
It's a wig. Whose is it?
825
00:56:08,854 --> 00:56:10,150
It is Miss Fiske's.
826
00:56:10,705 --> 00:56:12,391
Oh, it's her best one.
827
00:56:13,295 --> 00:56:15,239
She's as bald as a coot.
- Ah.
828
00:56:15,455 --> 00:56:17,042
A wonder she didn't take it with her.
829
00:56:18,291 --> 00:56:19,267
Hello.
830
00:56:19,605 --> 00:56:22,290
Ah, she left a lot of
her fancy dresses too.
831
00:56:23,063 --> 00:56:24,930
Perhaps she'll buy some
new ones up in London?
832
00:56:25,392 --> 00:56:26,938
These are new. Most of them.
833
00:56:27,918 --> 00:56:30,059
You'd better put that back up.
- Alright.
834
00:56:30,285 --> 00:56:31,783
Get up on this chair.
835
00:56:39,798 --> 00:56:41,554
You know, it <i>is</i> odd
she only took one wig.
836
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:45,357
On a trip, anything might happen.
A fire or a gust of wind.
837
00:56:45,751 --> 00:56:46,409
Oh.
838
00:56:47,720 --> 00:56:49,195
Here's Emily coming up the path.
839
00:56:50,109 --> 00:56:51,329
You'd better be off.
840
00:56:57,184 --> 00:56:58,794
Hello my old cup of tea.
841
00:57:00,310 --> 00:57:02,634
What are you doing with those
bull-rushes? Looking for Moses?
842
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,371
You're making fun of me .. naughty boy.
843
00:57:28,649 --> 00:57:31,405
Hello Ducky .. I'm glad you're
back before the others.
844
00:57:31,964 --> 00:57:34,668
It isn't often I have the chance of
a tête-à-tête with the family's fairest.
845
00:57:34,884 --> 00:57:36,672
You're never serious
about anything, Albert.
846
00:57:36,888 --> 00:57:38,846
I was never more serious in my life.
847
00:57:40,212 --> 00:57:42,518
The storm did an enormous
amount of damage.
848
00:57:42,869 --> 00:57:45,494
Roads into Rochester and Gravesend
were completely flooded.
849
00:57:46,258 --> 00:57:48,836
The Postman told me.
- I hope they stay that way.
850
00:57:50,098 --> 00:57:51,558
Allow me, Empress.
851
00:57:52,362 --> 00:57:54,681
There's only one letter today.
It's for Miss Fiske.
852
00:57:55,047 --> 00:57:55,755
Is it?
853
00:58:01,577 --> 00:58:03,226
It's a cosy nest you got here.
854
00:58:03,605 --> 00:58:05,661
What's will happen to you
when Miss Fiske gets back?
855
00:58:05,896 --> 00:58:07,596
Will she let you stay on, do you think?
856
00:58:11,455 --> 00:58:12,701
She isn't coming back.
857
00:58:13,532 --> 00:58:14,548
Why not?
858
00:58:15,342 --> 00:58:16,575
Ellen's bought the house.
859
00:58:19,252 --> 00:58:19,924
Go on.
860
00:58:20,140 --> 00:58:21,241
Yes. It's quite true.
861
00:58:22,049 --> 00:58:23,150
It's a secret though.
862
00:58:23,366 --> 00:58:26,001
Ellen made us swear on the bible
that we wouldn't tell anyone.
863
00:58:26,218 --> 00:58:28,300
But you are one of the family.
So it's alright.
864
00:58:29,873 --> 00:58:31,661
Why should she want
to keep it a secret, eh?
865
00:58:31,877 --> 00:58:33,636
I don't know.
It was done in a great hurry.
866
00:58:33,873 --> 00:58:35,534
Louisa and I were sent off to Rochester.
867
00:58:35,750 --> 00:58:38,669
Then when we came back that night,
Miss Fiske was gone and it was all over.
868
00:58:40,902 --> 00:58:42,862
You won't tell Ellen I told
you, will you, Albert?
869
00:58:43,234 --> 00:58:43,975
No.
870
00:58:45,212 --> 00:58:47,000
We'll make that our
little secret, shall we?
871
00:58:47,335 --> 00:58:48,064
Alright.
872
00:58:50,086 --> 00:58:52,513
It will be rather fun.
Having a secret from Ellen.
873
00:58:53,143 --> 00:58:55,628
She thinks she's the clever one.
But she isn't.
874
00:58:57,109 --> 00:58:57,924
Not always.
875
00:58:59,816 --> 00:59:00,402
No.
876
00:59:01,225 --> 00:59:02,040
Not always.
877
00:59:17,517 --> 00:59:19,294
Albert.
- What?
878
00:59:25,153 --> 00:59:26,418
Good morning.
879
00:59:28,974 --> 00:59:30,034
May we come in?
880
00:59:30,250 --> 00:59:32,261
Who's that?
- A couple of nuns from The Priory.
881
00:59:33,048 --> 00:59:36,099
You talk to them, Albert.
I've got to tidy up the orchard.
882
00:59:47,032 --> 00:59:51,087
Oh .. I didn't know there was
a young man staying here.
883
00:59:51,632 --> 00:59:52,844
Is Miss Ellen about?
884
00:59:53,060 --> 00:59:55,956
Sorry. She's gone over to the church at
Cawley. I'm her nephew, can I help?
885
00:59:56,487 --> 01:00:00,357
We came to return this. She lent us
a little oil last night. We ran short.
886
01:00:00,792 --> 01:00:02,060
Thanks.
- Yes, and this.
887
01:00:02,634 --> 01:00:04,846
The rent for the little field.
Your aunt will understand.
888
01:00:05,106 --> 01:00:06,179
I'll give it to her.
889
01:00:06,395 --> 01:00:08,788
We are so looking forward
to Miss Fiske's return.
890
01:00:09,371 --> 01:00:10,864
She's a dear friend of ours.
891
01:00:11,239 --> 01:00:14,646
Oh .. have you .. heard from her lately?
892
01:00:15,031 --> 01:00:16,218
No, not a word.
893
01:00:16,752 --> 01:00:19,335
I think the Reverend Mother is
a trifle hurt she hasn't written.
894
01:00:19,678 --> 01:00:22,281
In fact, she didn't even tell
us she was going away.
895
01:00:22,777 --> 01:00:25,295
Not very chummy, was it.
- No, it wasn't.
896
01:00:26,837 --> 01:00:28,232
Good morning.
- Good morning.
897
01:01:05,242 --> 01:01:07,671
Now what are you up to?
- Fetch me a knife, Ducky.
898
01:01:15,499 --> 01:01:17,170
What's that?
- A letter for Miss Fiske.
899
01:01:17,511 --> 01:01:19,943
You're not going to open it?
- No. Wouldn't think of it.
900
01:01:24,242 --> 01:01:25,431
What's it say?
901
01:01:26,201 --> 01:01:28,502
'Dear Madam.
Regarding your instructions ..'
902
01:01:28,718 --> 01:01:31,591
'To forward the amount of the
enclosed cheque in 5-pound notes'.
903
01:01:32,239 --> 01:01:36,889
'Your signature appears to differ from
that with which we are acquainted'.
904
01:01:38,793 --> 01:01:41,444
'We should be obliged if you
could kindly confirm same ..'
905
01:01:41,845 --> 01:01:44,354
'By signing it afresh.
In your usual manner'.
906
01:01:48,582 --> 01:01:49,634
Fifty pounds.
907
01:01:50,633 --> 01:01:51,591
Notice the date.
908
01:01:52,218 --> 01:01:53,703
'October 14th'.
909
01:01:54,794 --> 01:01:57,258
That's three days ago.
She's been gone longer than that.
910
01:01:57,803 --> 01:01:59,484
Since the beginning of September.
911
01:02:00,292 --> 01:02:02,329
She probably made it
out from wherever she is.
912
01:02:02,949 --> 01:02:04,986
Yes, she could have. Hey, wait a minute.
913
01:02:06,442 --> 01:02:08,765
In that case, why did they
send the reply to her here?
914
01:02:10,183 --> 01:02:11,666
You see who it's made payable to?
915
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:14,680
Ellen Creed.
916
01:02:15,506 --> 01:02:17,785
What of it? I expect it's
the housekeeping money.
917
01:02:18,380 --> 01:02:21,488
Maybe. Where's the glue-pot?
- Over there.
918
01:02:21,704 --> 01:02:23,015
Get it for me.
919
01:02:28,096 --> 01:02:30,146
Dip your finger in it.
- I should say not.
920
01:02:30,516 --> 01:02:31,817
I've had no hand in this.
921
01:02:33,119 --> 01:02:33,963
Haven't you?
922
01:02:35,383 --> 01:02:37,379
You are a filthy pig.
- Go on. Seal it up.
923
01:02:38,971 --> 01:02:39,930
Go on.
924
01:02:44,402 --> 01:02:46,276
Don't forget.
You're in this as deep as me now.
925
01:02:46,550 --> 01:02:48,124
I wish you'd never come here.
926
01:02:48,888 --> 01:02:51,488
I don't know what comes over
me when you're around.
927
01:02:52,752 --> 01:02:54,483
You won't give me away
to Ellen, will you?
928
01:02:54,699 --> 01:02:56,230
I won't if you keep your mouth shut.
929
01:03:03,357 --> 01:03:06,241
Here come the performing seals.
Not a word, mind you.
930
01:03:17,604 --> 01:03:18,397
Albert.
931
01:03:18,622 --> 01:03:20,252
Hello, aunts .. had a nice pray?
932
01:03:20,492 --> 01:03:22,114
You should have been at church, Albert.
933
01:03:22,576 --> 01:03:24,609
The minister told us all about Hell.
934
01:03:25,016 --> 01:03:27,336
You'd have enjoyed the
bit about the lost souls ..
935
01:03:27,682 --> 01:03:29,251
Sizzling in the bottomless pit.
936
01:03:29,554 --> 01:03:31,970
Would I now? Sounds frightening.
937
01:03:32,540 --> 01:03:34,859
Ellen .. where is Hell?
938
01:03:37,451 --> 01:03:39,443
Hell is like the Kingdom of Heaven.
939
01:03:41,672 --> 01:03:42,552
It is within.
940
01:03:43,037 --> 01:03:43,995
That reminds me.
941
01:03:44,310 --> 01:03:45,926
One of your religious friends was here.
942
01:03:46,258 --> 01:03:49,076
She left you this.
It's the rent for some field or other.
943
01:03:50,580 --> 01:03:52,568
She didn't see you, did she?
- I couldn't avoid it.
944
01:03:52,784 --> 01:03:54,258
That was Sister Theresa.
945
01:03:55,171 --> 01:03:59,138
She's Miss Fiske's friend. She doesn't
like us any more than Miss Fiske did.
946
01:03:59,974 --> 01:04:01,311
Didn't Miss Fiske like you?
947
01:04:01,981 --> 01:04:03,098
She was horrid to us.
948
01:04:03,344 --> 01:04:05,103
Louisa, run upstairs
and change your dress.
949
01:04:05,417 --> 01:04:07,148
You can't sit around
in your best all day.
950
01:04:07,445 --> 01:04:08,575
No. I shan't, shall I.
951
01:04:09,221 --> 01:04:10,348
No. Of course not.
952
01:04:12,538 --> 01:04:13,819
Albert.
- Huh?
953
01:04:14,096 --> 01:04:16,776
I don't want you to mention Miss Fiske
again in front of my sisters.
954
01:04:17,336 --> 01:04:18,819
They quarrelled with her.
955
01:04:19,382 --> 01:04:21,392
And it upsets them very
much to talk about her.
956
01:04:22,012 --> 01:04:23,364
Sorry. Nobody told me.
957
01:04:24,555 --> 01:04:26,055
What did you quarrel about?
958
01:04:26,666 --> 01:04:28,328
I didn't say I quarrelled with her.
959
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,220
Would she by any chance be the friend
you lit those candles for last night?
960
01:04:37,276 --> 01:04:38,187
Yes.
961
01:04:39,145 --> 01:04:40,469
When did she die?
962
01:04:42,779 --> 01:04:43,699
Die?
963
01:04:44,779 --> 01:04:46,516
Who said anything about her being dead?
964
01:04:47,042 --> 01:04:50,858
I just assumed she was.
You don't light candles for the living.
965
01:04:51,493 --> 01:04:53,352
Do you?
- I don't know.
966
01:04:54,178 --> 01:04:55,831
I just thought they stood for prayer.
967
01:04:56,685 --> 01:04:58,451
I must find Emily.
- By the way.
968
01:04:58,779 --> 01:05:00,614
The postman gave her
a letter for Miss Fiske.
969
01:05:00,911 --> 01:05:02,450
From her bank, I believe.
970
01:05:03,202 --> 01:05:04,375
Give it to me.
971
01:05:14,895 --> 01:05:16,951
I'm managing all her
affairs while she's away.
972
01:05:29,109 --> 01:05:31,579
Anything important?
- Yes, rather.
973
01:05:32,625 --> 01:05:34,512
I must get an answer
in the post immediately.
974
01:05:39,075 --> 01:05:40,763
A stylish looking piano you've got here.
975
01:05:41,029 --> 01:05:43,016
Don't distract me, Albert.
I must concentrate.
976
01:05:43,301 --> 01:05:45,026
I'm sorry. Don't mind me, auntie.
977
01:05:59,907 --> 01:06:01,335
I say, you are up to date.
978
01:06:02,020 --> 01:06:04,648
I didn't expect to find a copy of
The Mikado way out here on the marshes.
979
01:06:10,467 --> 01:06:12,747
[ Whistling song: Tit-Willow ]
980
01:06:20,224 --> 01:06:21,491
Don't do that.
981
01:06:22,064 --> 01:06:24,252
I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to distract you.
982
01:06:25,378 --> 01:06:27,960
It's just I happen to dislike that
particular tune. That's all.
983
01:06:28,261 --> 01:06:29,932
It's a bit on the morbid side.
984
01:06:35,775 --> 01:06:37,740
Miss Ellen, how soon
will you want dinner?
985
01:06:38,044 --> 01:06:39,402
In a quarter of an hour, Lucy.
986
01:06:39,624 --> 01:06:41,383
I'll just post this
letter at the crossing.
987
01:06:41,801 --> 01:06:42,788
Let me go, Ellen.
988
01:06:43,019 --> 01:06:44,372
I can do with a sniff of air.
989
01:06:44,588 --> 01:06:46,710
No thank you.
I prefer to attend to this myself.
990
01:07:20,938 --> 01:07:22,723
What are you up to now?
991
01:07:23,124 --> 01:07:24,998
She just wrote a reply to
the letter we opened.
992
01:07:25,426 --> 01:07:27,560
I thought it would be interesting
to see what she says.
993
01:07:28,703 --> 01:07:29,518
'Dear sir'.
994
01:07:30,198 --> 01:07:30,956
'Cheque'.
995
01:07:31,301 --> 01:07:32,168
Something.
996
01:07:32,562 --> 01:07:33,406
'Incorrect'.
997
01:07:34,231 --> 01:07:35,018
Something.
998
01:07:35,529 --> 01:07:36,258
'Owing'.
999
01:07:36,987 --> 01:07:38,671
Something, something.
1000
01:07:39,444 --> 01:07:40,350
'Wrist'.
1001
01:07:41,875 --> 01:07:43,870
What does that word
look like to you? See.
1002
01:07:44,636 --> 01:07:47,233
'S .. p .. r ..'
1003
01:07:47,779 --> 01:07:48,718
S .. p .. r.
1004
01:07:49,226 --> 01:07:50,685
'Sprained'. That's it.
1005
01:07:51,092 --> 01:07:52,394
'Owing to a sprained wrist'.
1006
01:07:53,878 --> 01:07:54,922
Something. 'Yours'.
1007
01:07:55,374 --> 01:07:56,225
'Leonora'.
1008
01:07:57,357 --> 01:07:58,758
'Leonora Fiske'.
1009
01:08:01,625 --> 01:08:03,040
She signed it 'Leonora Fiske'.
1010
01:08:03,525 --> 01:08:04,684
What's it mean, Albert?
1011
01:08:05,493 --> 01:08:06,665
What do you think?
1012
01:08:07,266 --> 01:08:09,506
It looks as if she's pretending
to be Miss Fiske.
1013
01:08:10,308 --> 01:08:12,239
Getting money on the strength of it.
- Brilliant.
1014
01:08:12,455 --> 01:08:13,845
If that's true, she's a thief.
1015
01:08:14,342 --> 01:08:15,535
Like you.
- Shut up.
1016
01:08:18,319 --> 01:08:20,417
What will happen when
Miss Fiske comes back?
1017
01:08:23,624 --> 01:08:25,061
Suppose she isn't coming back?
1018
01:08:26,187 --> 01:08:29,149
Suppose she's died somewhere.
And Ellen is the only one who knows.
1019
01:08:29,485 --> 01:08:31,229
You can't die and only
one person know it.
1020
01:08:31,445 --> 01:08:32,744
Can't you? I'm not so sure.
1021
01:08:34,460 --> 01:08:35,600
One thing I do know.
1022
01:08:35,906 --> 01:08:38,896
She'd never risk it unless she knew
Miss Fiske was out of the way for good.
1023
01:08:39,955 --> 01:08:43,091
Alright .. assume she's dead.
Aunt Ellen is having the funds.
1024
01:08:43,645 --> 01:08:45,721
It might be years before
anybody would find out.
1025
01:08:48,011 --> 01:08:49,815
Why should she reap all the benefit?
1026
01:08:55,455 --> 01:08:57,100
There may be some pickings in it for us.
1027
01:08:57,481 --> 01:08:59,841
Would you like to see a bit of the
world? Have some fun with me?
1028
01:09:00,057 --> 01:09:01,907
You'd tempt Old Nick
himself, wouldn't you?
1029
01:09:02,123 --> 01:09:03,540
You've got to help me get proof.
1030
01:09:03,775 --> 01:09:05,763
I don't want to do anything
mean or underhanded.
1031
01:09:06,113 --> 01:09:09,069
Would I ask you to? Use your eyes
and keep your ears open. That's all.
1032
01:09:09,863 --> 01:09:10,821
What do you say?
1033
01:09:11,696 --> 01:09:12,720
I don't know.
1034
01:09:12,936 --> 01:09:14,752
Perhaps this will help
you make up your mind.
1035
01:09:20,189 --> 01:09:22,321
Well?
- I'll help you, Albert.
1036
01:09:23,541 --> 01:09:25,685
Here she comes. Look sharp now.
Back to the kitchen.
1037
01:10:47,655 --> 01:10:48,984
She's coming.
1038
01:10:49,341 --> 01:10:51,214
Blimey. You almost made
me frightened myself.
1039
01:10:51,698 --> 01:10:53,567
Hurry up, hurry up.
- Alright. Shut up.
1040
01:10:57,097 --> 01:10:59,119
Hey, go in the kitchen
and make some tea.
1041
01:11:00,769 --> 01:11:03,053
Take this with you. Go on, hurry.
1042
01:11:08,868 --> 01:11:10,408
Goodnight, Bates.
- Night, ma'am.
1043
01:11:10,665 --> 01:11:12,424
Don't forget.
Ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
1044
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:13,710
Very good, ma'am.
1045
01:11:24,420 --> 01:11:25,960
Did you have a successful trip?
1046
01:11:29,358 --> 01:11:30,324
Yes.
1047
01:11:31,452 --> 01:11:32,615
I have your ticket.
1048
01:11:33,462 --> 01:11:35,112
You leave tomorrow.
1049
01:11:36,730 --> 01:11:37,873
Do I?
1050
01:11:38,909 --> 01:11:41,037
Where are my sisters?
- I sent them off to bed.
1051
01:11:41,594 --> 01:11:44,567
They were getting a little out of hand.
- I dare say it wasn't their fault.
1052
01:11:45,180 --> 01:11:46,694
Lucy is making some hot tea.
1053
01:11:47,190 --> 01:11:48,628
We thought you might be cold.
1054
01:11:49,171 --> 01:11:51,500
I'll be down again .. as soon as
I've said goodnight to them.
1055
01:12:05,306 --> 01:12:06,436
Is everything alright?
1056
01:12:06,652 --> 01:12:09,253
No it's not. She's packing me off
tomorrow. We've got to move fast.
1057
01:12:10,013 --> 01:12:14,109
You haven't changed your mind, have you?
- I couldn't refuse you anything .. now.
1058
01:12:17,711 --> 01:12:20,732
We thought you'd never come,
Ellen .. I was frightened.
1059
01:12:21,412 --> 01:12:22,227
Frightened?
1060
01:12:22,443 --> 01:12:24,128
Yes, they were such funny noises.
1061
01:12:24,896 --> 01:12:26,049
It was only the rats.
1062
01:12:27,710 --> 01:12:29,343
What have you been doing all evening?
1063
01:12:29,794 --> 01:12:33,166
We played a game of cribbage.
Of course, Albert cheated.
1064
01:12:33,475 --> 01:12:35,420
But it was rather fun
watching him cheat.
1065
01:12:36,156 --> 01:12:38,001
He hasn't said anything
about Miss Fiske?
1066
01:12:38,432 --> 01:12:39,681
No.
- Miss Fiske?
1067
01:12:41,073 --> 01:12:41,974
Why should he?
1068
01:12:42,322 --> 01:12:44,819
And neither of you spoke to him
about my buying the house?
1069
01:12:45,173 --> 01:12:46,021
No, Ellen.
1070
01:12:46,441 --> 01:12:47,399
Do you remember?
1071
01:12:47,678 --> 01:12:49,855
You made us swear on
the bible we wouldn't.
1072
01:12:53,352 --> 01:12:55,327
I think you'd better go to
sleep now, both of you.
1073
01:12:55,778 --> 01:12:58,491
I'm going downstairs to have a
hot cup of tea before I go to bed.
1074
01:13:11,633 --> 01:13:14,151
Albert, do you think ..?
- Pour the tea, Lucy.
1075
01:13:21,955 --> 01:13:24,408
Thank you Lucy. You may go to bed now.
- Yes, Miss Ellen.
1076
01:13:24,946 --> 01:13:26,345
Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
1077
01:13:36,366 --> 01:13:37,639
Auntie, where is your cane?
1078
01:13:38,312 --> 01:13:40,981
You look like you'd like to take down
my breeches and give me a dozen.
1079
01:13:42,223 --> 01:13:45,038
There's a boat sailing for Canada
on Friday. You sail with it.
1080
01:13:46,295 --> 01:13:47,826
I'm not sure I want to go to Canada.
1081
01:13:48,849 --> 01:13:49,693
Yet a while.
1082
01:13:50,173 --> 01:13:51,779
You haven't much choice, have you?
1083
01:13:52,201 --> 01:13:54,201
I don't know. I'm getting
quite fond of this place.
1084
01:13:54,463 --> 01:13:57,278
The air suits me .. I'm very
happy here for the time being.
1085
01:13:57,793 --> 01:13:59,765
I'm not happy having you here.
- Why?
1086
01:14:01,027 --> 01:14:03,956
It isn't safe since Sister Theresa
knows you're staying here with us.
1087
01:14:04,613 --> 01:14:07,129
The wrong sort of talk would bring
the police around here in no time.
1088
01:14:07,692 --> 01:14:09,826
I don't propose to risk a
scandal on your account.
1089
01:14:10,979 --> 01:14:12,484
There's more to it than that.
1090
01:14:13,552 --> 01:14:14,914
Lucy is apt to talk.
1091
01:14:15,787 --> 01:14:17,383
I don't think we need worry about her.
1092
01:14:18,557 --> 01:14:20,578
No. You've made sure of that.
1093
01:14:21,269 --> 01:14:24,026
Whatever do you mean by that?
- You know what, you cheap little ..
1094
01:14:24,454 --> 01:14:26,419
Stop it Ellen.
You'll make me lose my temper.
1095
01:14:26,784 --> 01:14:27,717
Your temper?
1096
01:14:27,975 --> 01:14:30,803
You leave first thing in the morning.
That's the end of you and your temper.
1097
01:14:31,019 --> 01:14:32,487
I shouldn't try to bluff me.
1098
01:14:32,885 --> 01:14:36,020
I'm not bluffing you. I order you.
- If I don't choose to be ordered?
1099
01:14:36,755 --> 01:14:39,395
I can't throw you out physically.
But I can send for the police.
1100
01:14:39,611 --> 01:14:40,765
And have your scandal?
1101
01:14:41,425 --> 01:14:43,625
Really, you're being very
inconsistent now, auntie dear.
1102
01:14:47,747 --> 01:14:49,119
You won't send for the police.
1103
01:14:50,349 --> 01:14:51,841
Why are you so sure?
1104
01:14:52,573 --> 01:14:53,992
Because you've another reason.
1105
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:56,914
A more important reason for
not wanting the police here.
1106
01:14:57,546 --> 01:14:59,799
For wanting me out of this
house as quickly as possible.
1107
01:15:01,265 --> 01:15:02,936
As a matter of fact, you are right.
1108
01:15:03,339 --> 01:15:04,889
Now we get down to brass tacks.
1109
01:15:09,192 --> 01:15:11,134
Did it concern Miss Fiske by any chance?
1110
01:15:12,843 --> 01:15:14,271
It would and it does.
1111
01:15:15,303 --> 01:15:18,769
I met her in town today.
She's coming back.
1112
01:15:21,002 --> 01:15:24,068
She's coming back?
- And why shouldn't she?
1113
01:15:25,444 --> 01:15:27,138
I thought she'd gone for good.
1114
01:15:27,641 --> 01:15:29,345
How utterly absurd of you, Albert.
1115
01:15:29,950 --> 01:15:32,232
There has never been any
question of her not coming back.
1116
01:15:33,753 --> 01:15:35,532
Why didn't you say
so in the first place?
1117
01:15:35,748 --> 01:15:37,942
You played the fool so much
with Louisa and Emily.
1118
01:15:39,190 --> 01:15:40,693
I was afraid you'd blurt it out.
1119
01:15:42,481 --> 01:15:44,355
As it is, I'll have to
break it to them gently.
1120
01:15:44,571 --> 01:15:46,477
Because it means
they will have to go too.
1121
01:15:51,855 --> 01:15:53,989
My little country holiday has
obviously come to an end.
1122
01:15:54,843 --> 01:15:56,734
I don't know what the
blazes I'll do in Canada.
1123
01:15:56,950 --> 01:15:59,119
I suppose one can starve there
as well as anywhere else.
1124
01:15:59,677 --> 01:16:00,790
You'll get on.
1125
01:16:01,757 --> 01:16:03,762
I'll give you a little
something to start off with.
1126
01:16:04,659 --> 01:16:05,908
For your mother's sake.
1127
01:16:06,405 --> 01:16:08,376
I suppose I should extend
my most humble thanks.
1128
01:16:08,668 --> 01:16:10,540
No. That from you would be too much.
1129
01:16:11,034 --> 01:16:13,664
If that's all we have to say to each
other, I may as well get up to bed.
1130
01:16:32,163 --> 01:16:34,237
A good night's sleep wouldn't
do you any harm, either.
1131
01:16:35,093 --> 01:16:36,483
You look a bit played out.
1132
01:16:42,139 --> 01:16:43,698
I must lock up first.
1133
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,157
Will I be seeing you in the
morning before I leave?
1134
01:16:49,557 --> 01:16:50,486
Yes.
1135
01:16:59,735 --> 01:17:01,070
I forgot to tell you, auntie.
1136
01:17:02,138 --> 01:17:03,848
I had a funny dream last night.
1137
01:17:05,052 --> 01:17:05,796
Did you?
1138
01:17:08,636 --> 01:17:10,288
I dreamt Miss Fiske was dead.
1139
01:17:17,761 --> 01:17:20,112
Goodnight, auntie.
- Goodnight, Albert.
1140
01:18:52,767 --> 01:18:54,268
Miss Fiske ..
1141
01:19:06,554 --> 01:19:07,625
Albert.
1142
01:19:08,620 --> 01:19:09,497
Albert!
1143
01:19:48,544 --> 01:19:49,617
Good morning, Bates.
1144
01:19:49,833 --> 01:19:52,997
Miss Creed ordered me. It's about the
train, but she didn't say which one.
1145
01:19:53,823 --> 01:19:54,626
Bates.
1146
01:19:55,260 --> 01:19:56,975
Cancel it. Miss Creed's
not feeling well.
1147
01:19:57,382 --> 01:19:59,134
Nothing serious I hope, sir?
1148
01:19:59,716 --> 01:20:00,845
No. Nothing serious.
1149
01:20:01,576 --> 01:20:03,714
In that case, I'd better hop along.
1150
01:20:11,215 --> 01:20:13,479
She did look ill when I
took in her early tea.
1151
01:20:13,844 --> 01:20:15,160
I wish we hadn't done it.
1152
01:20:15,376 --> 01:20:17,754
Pull yourself together.
You'll ruin everything. Go on upstairs.
1153
01:20:18,116 --> 01:20:20,071
She might have died.
- Shut up.
1154
01:20:22,419 --> 01:20:24,304
Well she didn't. And we
proved what we wanted.
1155
01:20:24,605 --> 01:20:27,046
Miss Fiske is dead and she knows it.
- I wonder when she died.
1156
01:20:27,262 --> 01:20:30,193
One more go, and I'll tell you when
and how, she died. Now, go on upstairs.
1157
01:20:32,234 --> 01:20:33,778
What did Bates want, Albert?
1158
01:20:34,469 --> 01:20:37,339
He brought the news from the outside
world. It will tickle you to death.
1159
01:20:37,669 --> 01:20:39,500
Wigs and whiskers are
coming back in again.
1160
01:20:39,795 --> 01:20:41,748
I don't think this is a
time for joking, Albert.
1161
01:20:42,024 --> 01:20:43,268
With Ellen the way she is.
1162
01:20:43,484 --> 01:20:45,673
You take this thing too seriously,
my old brussels sprout.
1163
01:20:45,906 --> 01:20:48,296
She was walking in her sleep
and had a nightmare. That's all.
1164
01:20:48,857 --> 01:20:50,738
It wasn't a nightmare, Albert.
1165
01:20:52,979 --> 01:20:56,425
Oh .. what was it then?
- She says she saw a ghost.
1166
01:20:58,326 --> 01:21:00,241
In that case, lay another
place for breakfast.
1167
01:21:01,837 --> 01:21:04,083
Do you really think
it was a ghost, Emily?
1168
01:21:04,814 --> 01:21:08,147
If it were only a nightmare,
we wouldn't have heard it too.
1169
01:21:09,095 --> 01:21:12,379
Heard what?
- The music. Miss Fiske's music.
1170
01:21:13,216 --> 01:21:14,174
You know, Emily.
1171
01:21:14,512 --> 01:21:16,786
I'm sometimes afraid Miss Fiske
will get the better of Ellen.
1172
01:21:17,358 --> 01:21:20,210
I sometimes think she wants
to come back and turn us out.
1173
01:21:20,570 --> 01:21:23,299
I think Miss Fiske is here .. now.
1174
01:21:24,166 --> 01:21:27,506
Well .. what are you
two whispering about?
1175
01:21:28,354 --> 01:21:30,821
Hadn't you better go for your walk now?
- Yes, Ellen.
1176
01:21:31,124 --> 01:21:32,605
Anything you say, Ellen.
1177
01:21:46,684 --> 01:21:48,838
Do you think you're
strong enough to be up?
1178
01:21:49,303 --> 01:21:52,031
Yes, dear. I'm quite alright now.
- Hadn't you better have a doctor?
1179
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,336
No. A doctor couldn't do any good.
1180
01:22:01,118 --> 01:22:03,274
Why are you two standing
there like a couple of owls?
1181
01:22:04,315 --> 01:22:05,674
Emily has been frightening me.
1182
01:22:05,890 --> 01:22:07,724
You've been imagining
things, both of you.
1183
01:22:07,940 --> 01:22:09,719
Now, run along for your walk.
1184
01:22:10,194 --> 01:22:12,573
Whatever you say, Ellen. You know best.
1185
01:22:47,533 --> 01:22:48,748
Good morning, aunt Ellen.
1186
01:22:52,429 --> 01:22:53,848
We didn't expect you down today.
1187
01:22:55,144 --> 01:22:56,748
Why aren't you ready yet?
1188
01:22:57,416 --> 01:22:58,898
Bates will be here at any moment.
1189
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:01,876
Bates has been here and
gone .. I sent him away.
1190
01:23:02,599 --> 01:23:04,832
What do you mean by interfering
with my arrangements?
1191
01:23:05,087 --> 01:23:07,308
I didn't like to go and leave
you not feeling well.
1192
01:23:07,829 --> 01:23:09,585
I'm quite recovered now, thank you.
1193
01:23:10,535 --> 01:23:12,151
It was a queer turn you had last night.
1194
01:23:13,012 --> 01:23:13,913
What happened?
1195
01:23:16,155 --> 01:23:17,012
Nothing.
1196
01:23:17,529 --> 01:23:19,792
You know, you should really do
something about your nerves.
1197
01:23:20,064 --> 01:23:22,710
This isn't the first time you've walked
in your sleep, according to Emily.
1198
01:23:23,866 --> 01:23:24,996
What's Emily told you?
1199
01:23:25,212 --> 01:23:26,370
Just the usual chatter.
1200
01:23:27,566 --> 01:23:30,648
They do say that people who walk in
their sleep have a guilty conscience.
1201
01:23:32,807 --> 01:23:34,722
What's behind that remark, Albert?
1202
01:23:35,877 --> 01:23:36,788
Nothing.
1203
01:23:56,997 --> 01:23:58,016
You know.
1204
01:23:58,692 --> 01:23:59,725
Uhuh.
1205
01:24:07,734 --> 01:24:09,783
Then it was you last night?
- Yes.
1206
01:24:10,635 --> 01:24:12,786
Me and Lucy.
- She knows too?
1207
01:24:13,435 --> 01:24:16,579
Not what I know. That's something you
and I are going to keep to ourselves.
1208
01:24:17,454 --> 01:24:19,302
Provided of course, you treat me right.
1209
01:24:21,351 --> 01:24:22,852
What are you going to do?
1210
01:24:24,955 --> 01:24:26,342
As I said, I'm very happy here.
1211
01:24:26,974 --> 01:24:29,880
I think with your financial help I'll
be able to adjust things at the bank.
1212
01:24:30,486 --> 01:24:33,462
And we can all settle down in peace.
A contented little family.
1213
01:24:38,699 --> 01:24:40,639
You mean, you propose
to go on living here?
1214
01:24:41,042 --> 01:24:42,511
With me?
- Why not?
1215
01:24:43,380 --> 01:24:45,003
You'd never be quite sure, would you?
1216
01:24:45,991 --> 01:24:47,704
You might not enjoy your meals.
1217
01:24:51,328 --> 01:24:53,741
You wouldn't dare .. a second time.
1218
01:24:54,750 --> 01:24:57,031
It takes a lot of courage to
kill for the first time, Albert.
1219
01:24:57,830 --> 01:25:00,317
Once you've sold your soul to
the Devil it becomes easier.
1220
01:25:01,558 --> 01:25:02,675
Much easier.
1221
01:25:03,887 --> 01:25:07,713
Alright .. give me £500 and I'll clear
out for good. And keep my mouth shut.
1222
01:25:07,933 --> 01:25:10,215
I'm not afraid of you, Albert.
And your shabby little tricks.
1223
01:25:10,666 --> 01:25:13,323
In the middle of the night, you may
fancy yourself cutting quite a figure.
1224
01:25:13,980 --> 01:25:15,595
It's broad daylight now.
1225
01:25:16,055 --> 01:25:17,426
[ Door knocks ]
1226
01:25:22,761 --> 01:25:23,944
It's those nuns.
1227
01:25:24,482 --> 01:25:27,362
Get that out of sight.
And yourself with it.
1228
01:25:31,659 --> 01:25:33,002
[ Door knocks ]
1229
01:25:38,532 --> 01:25:41,311
Good day, Sisters.
- I must talk to you, right away.
1230
01:25:41,857 --> 01:25:43,121
Are you alone?
- Yes.
1231
01:25:43,889 --> 01:25:44,905
What's the matter?
1232
01:25:45,241 --> 01:25:48,898
It's really none of my business
and I shouldn't have come but ..
1233
01:25:49,781 --> 01:25:52,419
The police. They've been to the Priory.
- What about?
1234
01:25:52,973 --> 01:25:54,653
They're searching for a young man.
1235
01:25:55,095 --> 01:25:57,671
Who stole money from a
bank over Gravesend way.
1236
01:25:58,212 --> 01:26:01,295
And from the description,
I suspect it was your nephew.
1237
01:26:01,945 --> 01:26:05,639
I thought if he were told, he might
have a chance to do the right thing.
1238
01:26:06,213 --> 01:26:07,596
And give himself up.
1239
01:26:08,675 --> 01:26:10,261
It is your nephew?
- Yes.
1240
01:26:10,825 --> 01:26:14,130
But they mustn't search here.
- They've gone to the Coyne farm first.
1241
01:26:14,553 --> 01:26:16,139
I heard one of them say so.
1242
01:26:17,097 --> 01:26:20,813
Oh Miss Ellen. Have I done
wrong in coming to warn you?
1243
01:26:22,345 --> 01:26:23,773
I don't know, Sister.
1244
01:26:24,730 --> 01:26:26,719
I had a brother rather like that.
1245
01:26:27,632 --> 01:26:28,938
He went wrong too.
1246
01:26:30,148 --> 01:26:33,618
People are so easily lost, aren't they?
1247
01:26:34,524 --> 01:26:35,575
Yes they are.
1248
01:26:36,083 --> 01:26:38,511
Poor girl. You have so many burdens.
1249
01:26:39,161 --> 01:26:40,320
If you refer to Albert.
1250
01:26:40,901 --> 01:26:42,388
He means absolutely nothing to me.
1251
01:26:43,143 --> 01:26:44,543
No-one does, for that matter.
1252
01:26:45,350 --> 01:26:46,843
Except Emily and Louisa.
1253
01:26:48,365 --> 01:26:53,486
If, any time, we can do anything to make
things easier for you or your sisters ..
1254
01:26:54,242 --> 01:26:56,078
Don't hesitate to turn to us.
1255
01:26:56,401 --> 01:26:58,181
That's very kind of you, Sister Theresa.
1256
01:26:58,843 --> 01:27:00,509
But you know, we're not of your faith.
1257
01:27:01,152 --> 01:27:04,017
In my Father's house are many mansions.
1258
01:27:10,324 --> 01:27:11,797
Blimey, I thought they'd never go.
1259
01:27:12,013 --> 01:27:13,715
Thanks for putting in
a good word for me.
1260
01:27:15,247 --> 01:27:16,837
The Coyne farm, is it?
1261
01:27:17,115 --> 01:27:19,332
That will give me a chance to
get behind them to the river.
1262
01:27:19,548 --> 01:27:21,951
Hurry. There's no time to lose.
- Yes, I'll get my clothes.
1263
01:27:36,482 --> 01:27:37,496
Lucy.
1264
01:27:38,970 --> 01:27:40,574
Why are you staring at me like that?
1265
01:27:47,259 --> 01:27:48,389
You've been listening.
1266
01:27:52,279 --> 01:27:53,011
Lucy.
1267
01:27:53,847 --> 01:27:55,077
Lucy, come back.
1268
01:27:56,673 --> 01:27:57,922
Lucy, come back.
1269
01:28:00,607 --> 01:28:01,729
What's up?
1270
01:28:04,948 --> 01:28:05,763
What is it?
1271
01:28:06,671 --> 01:28:07,700
Lucy's run off.
1272
01:28:08,543 --> 01:28:09,842
She was listening.
1273
01:28:11,899 --> 01:28:13,091
Turn me in, would she?
1274
01:28:13,589 --> 01:28:15,946
I've got to move fast.
Where's that money and boat ticket?
1275
01:28:21,783 --> 01:28:23,304
You mean, she heard all about that?
1276
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:28,225
Yes.
1277
01:28:29,117 --> 01:28:31,860
Hey .. you'd better
make a dash for it too.
1278
01:28:46,271 --> 01:28:47,740
Don't stand there mooning about.
1279
01:28:48,092 --> 01:28:49,909
Put your things on and
let's get out of here.
1280
01:28:52,816 --> 01:28:53,999
I'm not going.
1281
01:28:56,844 --> 01:28:58,130
Are you out of your mind?
1282
01:29:01,266 --> 01:29:03,883
You know what they'll do to you?
- You'd better hurry, Albert.
1283
01:29:04,966 --> 01:29:06,581
Well, if that don't beat the cards.
1284
01:29:08,780 --> 01:29:09,710
Well then ..
1285
01:29:11,785 --> 01:29:14,516
So long Ellen .. no hard feelings.
1286
01:29:49,217 --> 01:29:50,486
Ellen, it was so funny.
1287
01:29:50,849 --> 01:29:51,893
We just saw Albert.
1288
01:29:52,306 --> 01:29:53,808
He was playing 'tag' with some men.
1289
01:29:54,130 --> 01:29:56,069
He didn't win. They caught him.
1290
01:29:56,413 --> 01:29:57,556
He got quite annoyed.
1291
01:30:00,436 --> 01:30:02,922
Ellen, look.
We found a lot of jackdaw feathers.
1292
01:30:03,297 --> 01:30:05,846
We're going to tie them into
bundles and make little dusters.
1293
01:30:07,021 --> 01:30:08,492
Where are you going?
1294
01:30:10,172 --> 01:30:11,816
I'm going to Coyne farm.
1295
01:30:12,298 --> 01:30:14,852
There are some gentlemen there from
Gravesend and I want to see them.
1296
01:30:15,068 --> 01:30:16,974
You won't bring them
back here, will you Ellen.
1297
01:30:17,228 --> 01:30:19,134
It's so nice and peaceful by ourselves.
1298
01:30:20,007 --> 01:30:22,812
No, dear. I'll try not to
bring them back here.
1299
01:30:31,833 --> 01:30:35,636
You have been happy here, haven't you?
- We are happy here, aren't we Emily?
1300
01:30:35,852 --> 01:30:38,249
Yes .. it's much better than London.
1301
01:30:38,547 --> 01:30:40,897
It's so good of you to have
bought this house for us.
1302
01:30:41,242 --> 01:30:43,035
You have been clever, Ellen.
1303
01:31:06,500 --> 01:31:07,632
How long will you be?
1304
01:31:08,778 --> 01:31:10,031
I don't know, dear.
1305
01:31:10,562 --> 01:31:12,115
Maybe quite a time.
1306
01:31:13,116 --> 01:31:15,317
I think I shall go down
to The Priory tomorrow.
1307
01:31:15,914 --> 01:31:18,728
I should like to see the things the
Reverend Mother collected on the marsh.
1308
01:31:18,965 --> 01:31:20,045
I'll go with you.
1309
01:31:26,793 --> 01:31:29,371
Goodbye, Ellen .. don't worry about us.
1310
01:31:29,816 --> 01:31:31,460
We can look after ourselves.
1311
01:32:12,774 --> 01:32:13,678

Ellen Creed, a proud spinster fallen on hard times, has spent the past two years as housekeeper and companion to her old friend Leonora Fiske, a wealthy retiree who in her youth had been a chorus girl "of easy virtue". Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.
One day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.
Ellen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.
Ellen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.
Some nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.
Albert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a "sprained wrist." Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.
Albert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men. Ellen smiles, dons her coat and hat, tells the sisters she's going to see some men, kisses them goodbye and departs into the fog.

- Is there any mail for me?

No, just this one letter.

00:02:40,937 --> 00:02:42,986
That business I want you
to see about in London.
10
00:02:43,703 --> 00:02:45,281
This is for Mr Scott at the bank.
11
00:02:45,872 --> 00:02:47,797
It's about those Brazilian
bonds of mine.
12
00:02:48,116 --> 00:02:50,463
The way the market is this week,
I think they ought to be ..
13
00:02:51,108 --> 00:02:53,011
Get outside.
Keep your eyes open for Bates.
14
00:02:53,367 --> 00:02:54,154
Yes, Miss.
15
00:02:57,364 --> 00:02:59,365
And this address is
just off Berkeley Square.
16
00:02:59,637 --> 00:03:02,745
Go to the servant's entrance and
ask for Mr Blake. He's the butler.
17
00:03:02,990 --> 00:03:06,248
Say you've come from me with
a message for Lord Cardington.
18
00:03:06,501 --> 00:03:08,999
And will he give it to his
Lordship .. privately.
19
00:03:10,145 --> 00:03:11,726
Ellen, you aren't paying attention.
20
00:03:12,861 --> 00:03:14,130
But I am, Miss Fiske.
21
00:03:15,291 --> 00:03:16,862
What would be the best time to call?
22
00:03:18,183 --> 00:03:20,515
Harry always used to dine around eight.
23
00:03:21,648 --> 00:03:23,869
You call about half past seven.
- Yes, very well.
24
00:03:24,511 --> 00:03:25,441
You seem upset.
25
00:03:26,165 --> 00:03:27,082
Bad news?
26
00:03:28,607 --> 00:03:30,395
I don't want to bother
you with my troubles.
27
00:03:31,555 --> 00:03:33,845
It isn't a question of bothering
me with your troubles.
28
00:03:34,385 --> 00:03:36,059
You've become almost like my daughter.
29
00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:40,033
The letter is from my sisters,
Emily and Louisa.
30
00:03:40,723 --> 00:03:42,666
They're very unhappy back
in London without me.
31
00:03:43,371 --> 00:03:46,159
After all, I only saw them once since
I came to work for you, Miss Fiske.
32
00:03:46,627 --> 00:03:50,075
You'll see them today, won't you?
And everything will be alright, surely.
33
00:03:50,516 --> 00:03:51,365
Miss Fiske.
34
00:03:52,270 --> 00:03:53,239
Bates is coming.
35
00:03:53,677 --> 00:03:54,941
Tell him to hurry himself.
36
00:03:56,902 --> 00:04:00,083
My kind regards to your sisters, Ellen.
- Thank you, Miss Fiske.
37
00:04:05,516 --> 00:04:07,945
I've written them so much about you.
38
00:04:08,818 --> 00:04:10,041
How kind you've been.
39
00:04:10,952 --> 00:04:13,704
Stuff and nonsense.
I'm fond of you. You shouldn't ..
40
00:04:14,411 --> 00:04:16,314
Oh, a lovely juicy one.
41
00:04:18,629 --> 00:04:21,722
Perhaps you'll .. you might allow
them down for a little visit one day?
42
00:04:22,338 --> 00:04:24,174
Oh dear, look what the damp has done.
43
00:04:24,744 --> 00:04:27,291
Certainly, yes.
By all means. At any time.
44
00:04:27,661 --> 00:04:30,625
You know Lucy polished this
table all yesterday afternoon.
45
00:04:31,859 --> 00:04:34,142
Miss Fiske.
- Yes?
46
00:04:34,903 --> 00:04:36,139
It occurred to me that ..
47
00:04:36,694 --> 00:04:40,310
Since they've been so wretched lately,
and you may allow them to visit one day.
48
00:04:40,526 --> 00:04:42,677
Oh that? Yes, indeed. You tell them.
49
00:04:43,191 --> 00:04:45,776
Perhaps in the spring when
it's warm and sunny.
50
00:04:58,452 --> 00:05:01,788
Well .. what I was going to ask was ..
51
00:05:03,656 --> 00:05:06,019
Might I bring them back
with me this time? Now?
52
00:05:06,313 --> 00:05:08,044
Well now, Ellen.
- They won't be a bother.
53
00:05:08,260 --> 00:05:11,100
I promise Miss Fiske .. and it
will mean so much to them.
54
00:05:13,860 --> 00:05:17,056
Very well my dear. You bring with
you by all means. For a day or two.
55
00:05:17,531 --> 00:05:18,974
Thank you, Miss Fiske.
56
00:05:19,913 --> 00:05:22,776
I can't tell you how grateful I am.
- Well don't try, my dear.
57
00:05:23,612 --> 00:05:26,540
He's here, Miss.
- About time. The good-for-nothing.
58
00:05:29,731 --> 00:05:31,919
Ellen, have you got everything?
- Yes, Miss Fiske.
59
00:05:36,257 --> 00:05:37,214
Morning, ma'am.
60
00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:40,040
Bates, you might have been more prompt.
What on earth made you so late?
61
00:05:40,256 --> 00:05:44,233
Her. You can't gallop over the roads
with a lady in her delicate condition.
62
00:05:45,131 --> 00:05:46,985
She's going to throw a calf, she be.
63
00:05:47,329 --> 00:05:49,142
I'm taking her to the vets, I am.
64
00:05:49,580 --> 00:05:53,795
Kindly let her not throw any calves
until you get Miss Ellen to the station.
65
00:05:55,009 --> 00:05:58,324
Calves don't come by timetable, lady.
- Well trains do.
66
00:06:01,093 --> 00:06:02,789
Yes, ma'am.
- Goodbye, Miss Fiske.
67
00:06:03,093 --> 00:06:05,919
Goodbye, Miss Ellen.
- Goodbye, Lucy.
68
00:06:08,225 --> 00:06:10,399
Don't forget the allowance
from you-know-who.
69
00:06:10,690 --> 00:06:11,943
No, I shan't.
70
00:06:12,751 --> 00:06:13,558
Goodbye.
71
00:06:14,089 --> 00:06:15,295
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss.
72
00:06:16,549 --> 00:06:18,440
Alright now, there is a
day's work to be done.
73
00:06:43,285 --> 00:06:46,731
La, la, la .. la, la, la.
74
00:06:47,792 --> 00:06:51,445
This is nice. It's very, very nice.
- What's that you have there, Miss?
75
00:06:52,224 --> 00:06:55,022
It's called the New Comic Opera.
It's all the rage in London.
76
00:06:55,382 --> 00:06:56,355
The Mi-Ka-Do.
77
00:06:57,272 --> 00:06:58,355
Mikado.
78
00:06:59,483 --> 00:07:02,512
I used to tour the provinces with
the gentleman who sent it to me.
79
00:07:02,932 --> 00:07:05,701
Look, he signed it for me:
'Rutland Barington'.
80
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,844
'For my adored Leonora
with fond memories of ..'
81
00:07:12,167 --> 00:07:14,032
Never mind about that.
Go and do the dishes.
82
00:07:14,248 --> 00:07:15,034
Yes, Miss.
83
00:07:18,969 --> 00:07:23,159
<i>On a tree by a willow, a little tom-tit</i>.
84
00:07:23,685 --> 00:07:27,337
<i>Sang: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
85
00:07:27,860 --> 00:07:32,012
<i>And I said to him: dicky-bird,
why do you sit?</i>
86
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:36,024
<i>Singing: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
87
00:07:40,329 --> 00:07:41,550
Go on. Don't stop.
88
00:07:41,803 --> 00:07:45,343
Who are you? What are you doing here?
- Listening .. very nice too.
89
00:07:46,281 --> 00:07:48,810
What do you want?
- Ask me in and I'll tell you.
90
00:07:52,312 --> 00:07:55,617
Anyway young man, you may
come in .. but mind your manners.
91
00:07:56,854 --> 00:07:57,794
Alright, Miss.
92
00:08:06,770 --> 00:08:09,470
Isn't this where Miss Ellen Creed lives?
- Yes, she lives here.
93
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:12,146
What do you wish to see her about?
- It's a personal matter.
94
00:08:13,315 --> 00:08:15,156
She's my aunt. I'm Albert Feather.
95
00:08:15,372 --> 00:08:17,189
Your aunt?
- Right.
96
00:08:17,842 --> 00:08:20,039
Her mother was my stepfather's
uncle's second wife.
97
00:08:22,067 --> 00:08:24,058
And where do you come from?
- Gravesend.
98
00:08:24,649 --> 00:08:26,422
I .. I work in a bank there.
99
00:08:26,875 --> 00:08:28,891
It's a very long walk.
Hadn't you better sit down?
100
00:08:29,598 --> 00:08:30,640
Thank you.
101
00:08:33,063 --> 00:08:34,628
I'm afraid it's all been for nothing.
102
00:08:34,844 --> 00:08:37,420
Your aunt Ellen has gone to
London on some business for me.
103
00:08:38,218 --> 00:08:39,462
How long will she be away?
104
00:08:39,790 --> 00:08:41,215
A few days.
- A few?
105
00:08:43,071 --> 00:08:44,665
Blimey. That will be too late.
106
00:08:45,843 --> 00:08:47,270
Is there anything I can do?
107
00:08:47,764 --> 00:08:51,327
I'm Miss Fiske. Your aunt has been
working here as a housekeeper/companion.
108
00:08:52,049 --> 00:08:54,325
I didn't know.
I haven't seen her for five years.
109
00:08:56,066 --> 00:08:57,102
Can I help?
110
00:08:59,294 --> 00:09:00,176
I wonder.
111
00:09:00,570 --> 00:09:01,642
What's the trouble?
112
00:09:02,394 --> 00:09:03,435
Or is it trouble?
113
00:09:04,397 --> 00:09:07,440
It's trouble right enough.
I hardly like to tell you.
114
00:09:08,163 --> 00:09:09,437
Oh, I see.
115
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:11,115
What's the amount?
116
00:09:12,388 --> 00:09:14,291
Twelve pounds.
- How much?
117
00:09:14,952 --> 00:09:17,446
Twelve pounds.
- My goodness. That's a lot of money.
118
00:09:17,662 --> 00:09:19,564
I know. What's worse,
I must have it by tonight.
119
00:09:19,937 --> 00:09:21,177
I'm short at the bank.
120
00:09:21,937 --> 00:09:24,425
It means jail if I can't put it back
before the cashier checks up.
121
00:09:25,063 --> 00:09:27,092
Gambling?
- No. A girl.
122
00:09:28,525 --> 00:09:29,814
Are you engaged to her?
123
00:09:30,198 --> 00:09:31,426
No. She's an actress.
124
00:09:32,294 --> 00:09:34,143
She was in a travelling
company in Gravesend.
125
00:09:34,463 --> 00:09:36,933
What? At the Old Grand?
126
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:39,551
You know it?
- I played there.
127
00:09:40,084 --> 00:09:41,113
Years ago.
128
00:09:41,968 --> 00:09:43,041
You were an actress?
129
00:09:43,648 --> 00:09:45,054
Front row of the chorus.
130
00:09:45,889 --> 00:09:47,868
Fourth from the right.
131
00:09:48,396 --> 00:09:49,710
She was in the chorus too.
132
00:09:50,179 --> 00:09:51,820
I expect you took her out to supper.
133
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:54,542
Then she persuaded you to
go round the shops with her.
134
00:09:55,486 --> 00:09:56,610
How did you know?
135
00:09:58,034 --> 00:09:59,272
'Imagination', my boy.
136
00:10:01,410 --> 00:10:03,427
Anyway, she's over the hills
now to some other town.
137
00:10:03,731 --> 00:10:05,583
And with some other fool.
The little cheat.
138
00:10:10,573 --> 00:10:13,436
Don't worry any more about it.
I'll give you the twelve pounds.
139
00:10:14,686 --> 00:10:15,719
You will?
140
00:10:16,204 --> 00:10:19,080
Perhaps I owe it to you .. in a sense.
141
00:10:20,452 --> 00:10:21,783
Or to some other fool.
142
00:10:22,564 --> 00:10:23,754
You're a life-saver.
143
00:10:24,208 --> 00:10:26,940
Now you just wait here. I'll just
run upstairs and get my keys.
144
00:10:31,814 --> 00:10:33,378
A pity there aren't more like you.
145
00:10:33,970 --> 00:10:35,850
That my, lad, is a matter of opinion.
146
00:10:38,268 --> 00:10:40,807
Do you mind if I tickle on your ivories?
- No, do.
147
00:10:41,403 --> 00:10:42,190
Thank you.
148
00:10:46,990 --> 00:10:50,944
<i>It's the same the whole world over</i>.
149
00:10:52,269 --> 00:10:53,102
<i>It's</i> ..
150
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,183
<i>It's the poor what gets the blame</i>.
151
00:11:04,394 --> 00:11:08,374
<i>While the rich has all the pleasures</i>.
152
00:11:09,117 --> 00:11:12,780
<i>Now, ain't that the blinking shame</i>.
153
00:11:19,442 --> 00:11:20,183
Hello.
154
00:11:20,703 --> 00:11:21,996
You did scare me.
155
00:11:22,780 --> 00:11:24,167
I thought I was hearing things.
156
00:11:24,565 --> 00:11:25,460
You were.
157
00:11:25,819 --> 00:11:26,681
But I mean.
158
00:11:27,344 --> 00:11:28,245
A man's voice.
159
00:11:29,023 --> 00:11:30,360
So funny here.
160
00:11:32,142 --> 00:11:34,993
Doesn't the tide wash up
many male fish, my angel?
161
00:11:35,476 --> 00:11:38,023
A man is as scarce as
hansom cabs in these parts.
162
00:11:38,377 --> 00:11:40,049
That is, all but the old ones.
163
00:11:40,330 --> 00:11:43,699
The young ones go off to London or
some foreign parts as soon as they can.
164
00:11:44,405 --> 00:11:45,990
Are you going off to foreign parts?
165
00:11:46,537 --> 00:11:48,929
It depends.
- Depends on what?
166
00:11:49,541 --> 00:11:51,342
If anyone ever asks me.
167
00:11:52,252 --> 00:11:54,778
I shouldn't think with eyes like them
there would be any difficulty.
168
00:11:55,570 --> 00:11:56,438
Go on.
169
00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:59,288
What's your name?
- Lucy.
170
00:11:59,889 --> 00:12:02,390
What's yours?
- Albert. I'm Miss Creel's nephew.
171
00:12:02,791 --> 00:12:05,195
Funny .. I never heard about you.
172
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,223
That must be remedied.
173
00:12:09,483 --> 00:12:12,253
How about making the most of a male
fish now one has been washed up, eh?
174
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,043
What about a smacker?
- No, you mustn't.
175
00:12:15,952 --> 00:12:17,175
I don't know you.
176
00:12:17,650 --> 00:12:19,993
You needn't know people to kiss them.
- I do.
177
00:12:21,065 --> 00:12:22,481
Alright my girl. It's your loss.
178
00:12:23,722 --> 00:12:25,495
You think a lot of yourself, don't you?
179
00:12:36,494 --> 00:12:39,581
Has Lucy been entertaining you, Albert?
- Eh?
180
00:12:40,669 --> 00:12:42,777
She came in. We had a word or two.
181
00:12:43,910 --> 00:12:46,728
Nice looker, isn't she?
- I didn't notice.
182
00:12:47,252 --> 00:12:50,496
Come now, Albert.
Don't lose your sense of humour.
183
00:12:50,712 --> 00:12:53,147
I hope you're not one of those who
won't benefit from experience.
184
00:12:53,446 --> 00:12:57,232
Otherwise my twelve pounds
will be rather wasted, won't it.
185
00:12:58,006 --> 00:12:59,937
Don't you worry Miss Fiske.
I've had my lesson.
186
00:13:00,307 --> 00:13:01,631
I hope so.
187
00:13:05,189 --> 00:13:07,912
Now .. this is where we
keep our little hoard.
188
00:13:09,396 --> 00:13:11,055
It's an old bake-oven really.
189
00:13:12,795 --> 00:13:14,007
A proper tomb, isn't it?
190
00:13:15,288 --> 00:13:16,161
What's that?
191
00:13:16,603 --> 00:13:18,678
This is what they used to
pull the loaves out with.
192
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:24,941
Of course, we don't use it as a
bake-oven. Hasn't been used in years.
193
00:13:30,894 --> 00:13:31,880
Now then.
194
00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:34,726
Twelve pounds, I think you said.
195
00:13:35,604 --> 00:13:37,505
You couldn't make if fifteen?
- No, I couldn't.
196
00:13:37,721 --> 00:13:38,593
You couldn't?
197
00:13:40,918 --> 00:13:42,648
Do I give you an I.O.U.?
198
00:13:43,001 --> 00:13:44,040
No thank you.
199
00:13:44,453 --> 00:13:45,721
This isn't a loan.
200
00:13:46,087 --> 00:13:49,548
I shouldn't like you to incur the
remorse of not paying it back.
201
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:51,267
You are a daisy.
202
00:13:53,929 --> 00:13:55,680
Very prettily done, Albert.
203
00:14:00,308 --> 00:14:02,327
Now, let's forget all about it.
204
00:14:04,460 --> 00:14:06,870
If you came next week, you'd have
found three of your aunts here.
205
00:14:07,162 --> 00:14:09,049
Ellen is bringing her
sisters back from London.
206
00:14:09,406 --> 00:14:11,513
What, the potty ones?
- Potty?
207
00:14:11,729 --> 00:14:13,188
Queer as mice in a cage.
208
00:14:14,466 --> 00:14:16,775
They're quite harmless.
Especially when aunt Ellen's around.
209
00:14:17,257 --> 00:14:20,141
For comfort, they're coming
to stay here for a few days.
210
00:14:20,646 --> 00:14:23,031
They seem to mean quite a
great deal to your aunt Ellen.
211
00:14:23,247 --> 00:14:24,573
Oh, they would.
212
00:14:25,219 --> 00:14:27,164
She's looked after them
since she was a kid.
213
00:14:27,426 --> 00:14:30,676
She's watched over them like they were
a couple of perishing babes-in-arms.
214
00:14:31,397 --> 00:14:34,292
I think that's very commendable of her.
- Perhaps, but ..
215
00:14:34,796 --> 00:14:36,355
Think of all the fun she's missing.
216
00:14:37,398 --> 00:14:40,282
What, for example?
- You know.
217
00:14:41,511 --> 00:14:42,582
I see.
218
00:14:43,201 --> 00:14:46,094
I have to be toddling along.
I'll pay you back as soon as I can.
219
00:14:51,506 --> 00:14:54,128
I'd appreciate if you don't mention
our little transaction to aunt Ellen.
220
00:14:54,344 --> 00:14:55,709
Very well. If you like.
221
00:14:56,156 --> 00:14:57,446
How about .. whatsername?
222
00:14:57,987 --> 00:15:00,717
Lucy? Oh she won't say anything.
I'll take care of that.
223
00:15:01,147 --> 00:15:01,848
Thanks.
224
00:15:04,128 --> 00:15:05,104
So long my lady.
225
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,428
And again from the heart. I'll never
forget your kindness as long as I live.
226
00:15:10,954 --> 00:15:12,887
I hope you live a great
deal longer than that.
227
00:15:41,690 --> 00:15:45,882
Isn't it funny, Ellen? You can't see
the wind and you can't touch it.
228
00:15:46,164 --> 00:15:47,202
But it's there.
229
00:15:48,220 --> 00:15:51,549
I think you'd better have this round
you, dear. It's getting quite chilly.
230
00:15:52,323 --> 00:15:54,061
Listen .. what's that?
231
00:15:54,324 --> 00:15:56,455
Those are The Priory bells, dear.
From over the marshes.
232
00:15:56,671 --> 00:15:58,875
Oh .. I shan't like that.
233
00:16:00,388 --> 00:16:03,269
She hates bells.
- Especially church bells.
234
00:16:03,959 --> 00:16:06,415
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong.
235
00:16:06,823 --> 00:16:08,452
Aren't the marshes pretty.
236
00:16:09,396 --> 00:16:11,378
The grass is too long and untidy.
237
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,566
If I had a knife and a bit of string,
I'd cut it and tie it up in bundles.
238
00:16:18,823 --> 00:16:21,809
Are there any sheep here on the marshes?
- Yes, Miss.
239
00:16:22,119 --> 00:16:25,040
I think sheep are so clever to
chew their cud the way they do.
240
00:16:25,490 --> 00:16:26,918
It's very difficult.
241
00:16:27,875 --> 00:16:29,030
I've tried.
242
00:16:31,415 --> 00:16:34,749
You ought to be a sailor, Miss.
They're always chewing tobacco.
243
00:16:35,584 --> 00:16:37,415
The man I was to marry was a sailor.
244
00:16:38,195 --> 00:16:39,482
He gave me this.
245
00:16:40,242 --> 00:16:42,105
It's all I have to remember him by.
246
00:16:43,219 --> 00:16:44,631
He was wrecked at sea.
247
00:16:46,036 --> 00:16:47,692
They were all drowned.
248
00:16:48,609 --> 00:16:50,781
It must have been a bit of
sadness for you, Missy.
249
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,617
Oh no. I've quite forgotten
what he looked like.
250
00:16:53,867 --> 00:16:58,114
I saw a drowned man once. They took
him out of the Thames. He was green.
251
00:16:59,726 --> 00:17:00,800
Frogs.
252
00:17:01,614 --> 00:17:03,598
There must be lots of frogs.
253
00:17:04,872 --> 00:17:07,194
We used to have such
fun with them at home.
254
00:17:07,942 --> 00:17:11,767
We used to put them on the dining-table
and make them jump in the marmalade pot.
255
00:17:24,590 --> 00:17:27,124
Look. There's a bird's nest.
- So there is.
256
00:17:27,425 --> 00:17:29,585
It must be last summer's.
- I should like to have that.
257
00:17:29,801 --> 00:17:30,956
Bates, stop please.
258
00:17:33,961 --> 00:17:35,709
Oh .. I have it.
259
00:17:37,576 --> 00:17:40,244
Isn't it beautiful?
- Oh dear, it's all cobwebby.
260
00:17:41,088 --> 00:17:43,437
And it has a horrid smell.
- It mustn't be wasted.
261
00:17:43,773 --> 00:17:46,676
I shall save it until next year
and then I'll put it back again.
262
00:17:47,792 --> 00:17:49,568
Who knows where we'll be next year?
263
00:17:50,919 --> 00:17:53,493
Not in London anyway. You promised that.
264
00:17:54,646 --> 00:17:56,807
Yes, I promised that.
- Look.
265
00:17:59,651 --> 00:18:02,019
Louisa .. how did that happen?
266
00:18:02,290 --> 00:18:03,334
She did it.
- Who?
267
00:18:03,721 --> 00:18:04,985
That woman in London.
268
00:18:05,980 --> 00:18:08,599
She didn't give us enough food either.
- 'Discipline' she said.
269
00:18:09,276 --> 00:18:11,196
Louisa used to cry all night.
270
00:18:11,605 --> 00:18:13,863
I didn't. She couldn't discipline me.
271
00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:17,371
We'll be alright here
though with Miss Fiske.
272
00:18:17,911 --> 00:18:18,927
She won't beat us.
273
00:18:20,371 --> 00:18:22,086
No darling, she won't beat you.
274
00:18:23,299 --> 00:18:24,774
No-one will again. Ever.
275
00:18:35,203 --> 00:18:38,132
Now remember what I told you both.
You're not to talk too much.
276
00:18:38,505 --> 00:18:40,175
Wait until Miss Fiske knows you better.
277
00:18:40,391 --> 00:18:42,433
How can she get to know
us better if we don't talk?
278
00:18:43,833 --> 00:18:45,955
Come along dear.
Bates, get the luggage, will you.
279
00:18:46,171 --> 00:18:47,147
Yes, ma'am.
280
00:18:55,788 --> 00:18:57,441
They look harmless.
- What, Miss?
281
00:18:58,044 --> 00:19:00,065
Never mind. Go and put the kettle on.
- Yes, Miss.
282
00:19:07,201 --> 00:19:09,332
Well, here we are.
- I'm glad.
283
00:19:09,821 --> 00:19:12,750
Miss Fiske .. my sister
Emily, my sister Louisa.
284
00:19:13,012 --> 00:19:15,614
How do you do, Emily?
- We're very glad to be here.
285
00:19:16,355 --> 00:19:18,625
Louisa.
- I don't like people to touch me.
286
00:19:20,092 --> 00:19:22,203
I'm afraid Miss Fiske will
think you're very rude.
287
00:19:22,637 --> 00:19:25,893
They're rather tired, poor dears.
- I never get tired.
288
00:19:26,246 --> 00:19:28,424
I sometimes walk about
the house all night.
289
00:19:29,354 --> 00:19:32,358
Do you indeed?
- No, of course she doesn't, Miss Fiske.
290
00:19:35,582 --> 00:19:37,090
What beautiful furniture.
291
00:19:37,766 --> 00:19:40,401
Just like we used to have
before we lost all our money.
292
00:19:40,705 --> 00:19:44,104
Some of these <i>are </i>our things, dear.
Miss Fiske bought them at my Curio Shop.
293
00:19:44,499 --> 00:19:45,716
I want my tea.
294
00:19:45,982 --> 00:19:49,687
Emily, see .. here's the
grand champ himself.
295
00:19:50,198 --> 00:19:52,303
Remember when father bought him for us?
296
00:19:52,874 --> 00:19:54,913
I wonder if his head still nods.
297
00:19:55,230 --> 00:19:57,850
Ding-dong, ding-dong ..
- Louisa, dear.
298
00:19:58,188 --> 00:20:00,094
Bates, be careful.
You'll scratch the furniture.
299
00:20:00,329 --> 00:20:01,719
Very good, ma'am.
300
00:20:07,149 --> 00:20:09,201
I must say you've brought
enough luggage with you.
301
00:20:09,549 --> 00:20:11,220
We've brought everything.
- Everything?
302
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,760
We had to.
- Why?
303
00:20:13,089 --> 00:20:14,453
When they sent for the police.
304
00:20:14,787 --> 00:20:17,483
Now, my dears. I'm sure all this
can't possibly interest Miss Fiske.
305
00:20:17,819 --> 00:20:19,779
I think we should go up
and rest a bit before tea.
306
00:20:20,125 --> 00:20:22,023
Whatever you say, Ellen.
- Come along, Emily.
307
00:20:22,239 --> 00:20:24,948
That smelly train was very dirty.
308
00:20:25,188 --> 00:20:28,708
She's always fussing about the dirt.
I hope you keep things tidy here.
309
00:20:28,924 --> 00:20:32,483
Cleanliness is next to
Godliness .. don't you agree?
310
00:20:33,018 --> 00:20:35,985
Well .. I'm quite clean, I believe.
311
00:20:36,652 --> 00:20:39,005
But I don't know that
I'm particularly Godly.
312
00:20:39,668 --> 00:20:41,267
I thought you were a Roman.
313
00:20:41,837 --> 00:20:42,824
Isn't that yours?
314
00:20:43,077 --> 00:20:45,458
Miss Fiske is a Roman, dear.
And a very devoted one.
315
00:20:45,929 --> 00:20:47,614
Come along Louisa, Emily.
316
00:20:47,957 --> 00:20:50,102
Father, didn't approve of Romans.
317
00:20:52,032 --> 00:20:53,290
And neither do I.
318
00:21:13,724 --> 00:21:16,116
I expect it's one of those boobies.
319
00:21:16,588 --> 00:21:20,641
Miss Emily was drawing cat's faces on
brown paper yesterday when you were out.
320
00:21:21,138 --> 00:21:23,357
I can't stand it. I can't stand it.
321
00:21:23,721 --> 00:21:26,634
My lovely paisley shawl. It's ruined.
322
00:21:27,927 --> 00:21:31,189
You'd better get some vinegar and see
if you can do something about this spot.
323
00:21:31,443 --> 00:21:32,256
Yes, Miss.
324
00:21:32,810 --> 00:21:35,900
I'm utterly exhausted clearing
up after their messes.
325
00:21:36,172 --> 00:21:38,204
I don't wonder, Miss. So am I.
326
00:21:38,529 --> 00:21:42,030
And you should see their
bedroom. It's like a goat's-pen.
327
00:21:42,483 --> 00:21:45,783
I know it. If it isn't one
thing, it's another.
328
00:21:46,153 --> 00:21:49,633
For the last six weeks were like living
in the middle of Piccadilly Circus.
329
00:21:50,566 --> 00:21:52,478
My heart won't stand it.
330
00:21:53,336 --> 00:21:55,144
Go and get my smelling salts.
331
00:21:56,829 --> 00:21:59,720
Where are they, Miss?
- In the usual place, of course.
332
00:21:59,984 --> 00:22:01,928
Nothing is in the usual
place these days.
333
00:22:02,169 --> 00:22:02,822
No.
334
00:22:03,664 --> 00:22:05,532
Well then, get me a cold compress.
335
00:22:06,303 --> 00:22:09,597
I shall lie down and
take a nap while I can.
336
00:22:13,641 --> 00:22:14,627
Miss Fiske.
337
00:22:14,950 --> 00:22:18,862
Yes, what is it? What is it?
- Will they be staying much longer?
338
00:22:20,743 --> 00:22:23,049
They'll have my invitation
to go this evening.
339
00:22:26,420 --> 00:22:30,273
Oh dear, I wonder where Emily has
gone to. She ought to be back by now.
340
00:22:31,513 --> 00:22:33,331
I can't see her anywhere.
341
00:22:33,776 --> 00:22:37,997
I wish I were brave like Emily.
I should like to take long walks too.
342
00:22:38,404 --> 00:22:40,016
And pick up things.
343
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,248
Perhaps I shall be able to
after we've stayed here longer.
344
00:22:44,902 --> 00:22:46,145
I'm sure you will, dear.
345
00:22:46,442 --> 00:22:48,530
I shall be staying here, shan't I?
346
00:22:49,544 --> 00:22:52,354
You're not planning to send us away?
Are you, Ellen?
347
00:22:53,227 --> 00:22:54,739
No dear. Of course I'm not.
348
00:22:55,199 --> 00:22:57,189
This is what you've always promised us.
349
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,885
A little place in the country
where we can always be safe.
350
00:23:01,424 --> 00:23:04,604
Yes .. it's the one thing
I've been working for.
351
00:23:05,415 --> 00:23:07,236
Ever since we had to
give up the old house.
352
00:23:07,574 --> 00:23:10,567
Naturally, Estuary House
could never be like that.
353
00:23:11,114 --> 00:23:12,511
But it's nice enough.
354
00:23:12,898 --> 00:23:14,774
Yes, and Miss Fiske has
been very kind to us.
355
00:23:15,471 --> 00:23:18,924
Miss Fiske .. may I tell
you something, Ellen?
356
00:23:19,743 --> 00:23:21,102
Just one of my secrets.
357
00:23:21,866 --> 00:23:22,931
Of course you may.
358
00:23:23,717 --> 00:23:25,589
I don't like Miss Fiske.
359
00:23:27,025 --> 00:23:30,951
Couldn't we send her away? Then it
would <i>really</i> be just the three of us.
360
00:23:31,260 --> 00:23:33,656
But I keep telling you,
Louisa. It's <i>her</i> house.
361
00:23:34,059 --> 00:23:36,189
Oh no. You'll never
make me believe that.
362
00:23:36,987 --> 00:23:38,457
All out lovely things are there.
363
00:23:39,795 --> 00:23:43,336
We'll never have to go away, will we?
- No, darling. I promised you.
364
00:23:44,163 --> 00:23:44,998
Never.
365
00:23:46,020 --> 00:23:48,323
I think Miss Fiske wants us to go.
366
00:23:49,091 --> 00:23:50,341
Both of us.
367
00:23:50,928 --> 00:23:52,812
I'm sure I can persuade
her to let you stay.
368
00:23:54,613 --> 00:23:56,349
Oh dear, I do wish Emily would come.
369
00:23:56,602 --> 00:23:58,912
Maybe we'd better get along
home in case she's waiting there.
370
00:23:59,701 --> 00:24:00,838
Come along, dear.
371
00:24:01,945 --> 00:24:04,810
I don't want her upsetting Miss Fiske
again. She can be very tactless.
372
00:24:23,370 --> 00:24:25,220
Here girl, take this.
373
00:24:25,436 --> 00:24:27,267
Thanks a lot. What are we to do with it?
374
00:24:27,506 --> 00:24:29,709
Put it in the woodshed,
where it belongs.
375
00:24:29,962 --> 00:24:33,268
The woodshed is full. I won't have
you cluttering up my kitchen with it.
376
00:24:33,731 --> 00:24:35,093
Very well then.
377
00:24:44,580 --> 00:24:46,788
Oh dear ..
378
00:24:48,844 --> 00:24:50,225
What is it now?
379
00:24:54,808 --> 00:24:56,535
Wait until Miss Fiske sees this.
380
00:24:57,306 --> 00:24:59,938
What's the matter now? My goodness.
381
00:25:00,154 --> 00:25:02,116
More wood?
- Yes. Miss Emily dumped it.
382
00:25:02,602 --> 00:25:04,986
Never mind. You get out of here.
- I got a nice lot today.
383
00:25:05,672 --> 00:25:08,305
What are you thinking of? Making a
mess with it all over my clean floor.
384
00:25:08,521 --> 00:25:10,394
The girl wouldn't let
me put it in the kitchen.
385
00:25:10,671 --> 00:25:13,708
She's quite right. I told you to stop
bringing in wood. We have enough.
386
00:25:13,924 --> 00:25:16,497
I must tidy up the river
banks. I hate waste.
387
00:25:16,713 --> 00:25:18,995
And I hate litter. Now you
clear it away immediately.
388
00:25:19,239 --> 00:25:21,201
I won't be ordered to do things.
389
00:25:22,767 --> 00:25:24,118
This is too much.
390
00:25:24,496 --> 00:25:26,293
My best polished table.
391
00:25:26,789 --> 00:25:28,933
Look how these shells have scratched it.
392
00:25:29,269 --> 00:25:31,965
What's this? Wet seaweed and a horrid ..
393
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,604
Dead bird.
394
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,561
Leave my bird alone. And my shells.
395
00:25:37,060 --> 00:25:38,248
They are my treasures.
396
00:25:38,610 --> 00:25:41,515
We don't understand expensive things.
It's so long since we had any.
397
00:25:41,981 --> 00:25:44,044
I know it's very simple of me.
But I am simple.
398
00:25:44,260 --> 00:25:46,087
Emily .. what's wrong?
399
00:25:46,309 --> 00:25:48,986
I hate her. She threw my
bird into the fireplace.
400
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,507
Emily, control yourself.
401
00:25:50,723 --> 00:25:52,603
See what she's done
with her ridiculous shells.
402
00:25:52,885 --> 00:25:54,816
It will take a month's
polishing to put it right.
403
00:25:55,032 --> 00:25:56,708
I'm sorry Miss Fiske, I'll put it right.
404
00:25:57,276 --> 00:26:00,394
No Ellen, you shan't. I'll do it.
Let me do it. I'll polish it.
405
00:26:00,610 --> 00:26:02,434
Every day, all through the winter.
406
00:26:02,769 --> 00:26:05,511
Sweet of you, Louisa. But I doubt
you'll be here through the winter.
407
00:26:05,969 --> 00:26:07,630
But we shall. Ellen said so.
408
00:26:07,953 --> 00:26:10,046
You're mistaken, Louisa.
I said nothing of the kind.
409
00:26:10,262 --> 00:26:12,701
But you did. You promised.
- Louisa, will you be quiet.
410
00:26:16,013 --> 00:26:18,157
My heavens. This is the last straw.
411
00:26:18,802 --> 00:26:20,996
You'll drive me as crazy as yourselves.
412
00:26:24,448 --> 00:26:25,406
Oh, Ellen.
413
00:26:27,312 --> 00:26:28,535
Miss Fiske.
414
00:26:29,134 --> 00:26:31,588
I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to say that, but ..
415
00:26:32,377 --> 00:26:34,890
I've had about as much as I can endure.
416
00:26:36,396 --> 00:26:39,219
Emily .. take Louisa upstairs.
417
00:26:39,889 --> 00:26:41,482
Now, stop your crying, Louisa.
418
00:26:42,358 --> 00:26:44,045
There's nothing to cry about.
419
00:26:45,286 --> 00:26:46,141
Do you hear?
420
00:26:46,743 --> 00:26:48,817
Go upstairs. Both of you.
421
00:26:51,981 --> 00:26:53,380
And close the door behind you.
422
00:26:58,271 --> 00:27:00,113
That was a cruel thing to say.
423
00:27:00,788 --> 00:27:01,944
But it's true.
424
00:27:02,778 --> 00:27:06,123
One with her telescope and the other
with her mania for collecting things.
425
00:27:06,703 --> 00:27:08,149
They are insane, both of them.
426
00:27:08,609 --> 00:27:10,479
Please don't use that word again.
427
00:27:11,078 --> 00:27:12,310
Emily was right.
428
00:27:12,956 --> 00:27:14,664
But then people who
have all they want ..
429
00:27:15,013 --> 00:27:17,979
Never understand how much the smallest
things mean to those who haven't.
430
00:27:18,345 --> 00:27:19,046
Really?
431
00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:21,362
I don't think this calls for a sermon.
432
00:27:22,276 --> 00:27:24,365
I've been more than generous
to you and your sisters.
433
00:27:24,581 --> 00:27:26,750
People have always been very
generous to you, Miss Fiske.
434
00:27:26,966 --> 00:27:29,126
My sisters and I have never had
friends to send <i>us</i> money.
435
00:27:29,379 --> 00:27:31,480
That's hardly my fault, is it.
- No.
436
00:27:31,793 --> 00:27:35,189
Don't you feel you have a responsibility
to those less fortunate than you?
437
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,615
I don't know what you're talking about.
438
00:27:38,441 --> 00:27:40,476
Life hasn't been very
kind to us, Miss Fiske.
439
00:27:40,817 --> 00:27:42,798
Every penny we've ever
had, I've had to work for.
440
00:27:43,014 --> 00:27:45,706
Every penny. But at least
we have our self-respect.
441
00:27:47,024 --> 00:27:48,654
How dare you.
442
00:27:49,634 --> 00:27:51,866
How dare you criticise my life.
443
00:27:52,216 --> 00:27:55,606
Do you think I don't envy women who
have respectability? Who have families?
444
00:27:55,822 --> 00:27:58,890
Who aren't just forgotten and pensioned
off when they lose their stock-in-trade.
445
00:27:59,208 --> 00:28:01,196
Then you can't blame me
for fighting for my family.
446
00:28:01,412 --> 00:28:03,466
Very admirable, but it's
your family and not mine.
447
00:28:03,941 --> 00:28:05,065
Let me tell you this.
448
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,935
Your sisters, insane or not,
have overstayed their welcome.
449
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,611
I invite them here for two days
and they've stayed six weeks.
450
00:28:10,827 --> 00:28:13,450
Or perhaps you were planning
to keep them here forever?
451
00:28:14,485 --> 00:28:16,324
Well .. I had thought ..
452
00:28:17,124 --> 00:28:19,622
That I might pay something out
of my wages for their keep.
453
00:28:19,895 --> 00:28:22,261
Ellen, you're a hypocrite.
You're worse, you're a cheat.
454
00:28:22,937 --> 00:28:26,279
You meant to foist your wretched
brood on me and bleed me white.
455
00:28:26,626 --> 00:28:30,814
And when I saw through your scheme, you
had the insolence to turn and abuse me.
456
00:28:31,124 --> 00:28:32,701
But you've chosen the wrong woman.
457
00:28:32,917 --> 00:28:35,255
You get those sisters of yours
out of this house at once.
458
00:28:35,604 --> 00:28:37,644
And take a month's wages
and go with them.
459
00:28:39,743 --> 00:28:40,815
Miss Fiske.
460
00:29:08,710 --> 00:29:11,039
Ellen .. why aren't you in bed?
461
00:29:11,451 --> 00:29:13,179
Why are you prowling about at this hour?
462
00:29:13,761 --> 00:29:16,786
Miss Fiske, may I come in?
I must talk with you, please.
463
00:29:17,357 --> 00:29:18,516
Well, mind your tongue.
464
00:29:18,764 --> 00:29:20,987
We don't want any more of
this afternoon's unpleasantness.
465
00:29:23,612 --> 00:29:24,936
I'm sorry about that.
466
00:29:25,715 --> 00:29:27,833
I was wrong. I shouldn't
have spoken to you as I did.
467
00:29:28,791 --> 00:29:30,462
No .. you shouldn't.
468
00:29:37,617 --> 00:29:38,744
Miss Fiske.
469
00:29:39,702 --> 00:29:42,303
Do you remember the letter that arrived
the day I went away to London?
470
00:29:42,556 --> 00:29:46,058
Yes .. what about it?
- It was from their landlady.
471
00:29:46,613 --> 00:29:47,747
Emily and Louisa.
472
00:29:48,187 --> 00:29:49,552
Had been a little difficult.
473
00:29:49,893 --> 00:29:51,137
She'd sent for the police.
474
00:29:52,329 --> 00:29:54,369
They were going to be
put away in an institution.
475
00:29:54,764 --> 00:29:57,034
The landlady was quite right.
That's where they belong.
476
00:29:57,393 --> 00:30:00,433
But Miss Fiske, you don't
understand. They're my sisters.
477
00:30:00,820 --> 00:30:02,707
You don't know what I've
gone through for them.
478
00:30:02,923 --> 00:30:05,036
They've no-one else in the
world to turn to but me.
479
00:30:05,740 --> 00:30:08,948
I pleaded with the police to release
them. They agreed on one condition.
480
00:30:09,533 --> 00:30:11,458
That they were to remain
in my personal care.
481
00:30:11,740 --> 00:30:13,336
That I was to be responsible for them.
482
00:30:13,787 --> 00:30:15,440
And if there were any more complaints.
483
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,522
That they were to be put away forever.
That's why I can't send them away.
484
00:30:19,825 --> 00:30:21,889
All this devotion is
very admirable, Ellen.
485
00:30:22,285 --> 00:30:24,471
But I fail to see how I can
help in any way at all.
486
00:30:24,801 --> 00:30:26,903
Oh but you can. You can, Miss Fiske.
487
00:30:27,618 --> 00:30:29,823
I thought perhaps they
might use the attic upstairs.
488
00:30:30,162 --> 00:30:32,379
They'll stay there out of the
way where you don't see them.
489
00:30:32,716 --> 00:30:34,876
They could use the back stairs
when they come in and out.
490
00:30:35,129 --> 00:30:37,055
Ellen, what are you talking about?
491
00:30:37,271 --> 00:30:40,267
I promise they'll never come near you.
You'll never know they're in the house.
492
00:30:40,829 --> 00:30:43,797
I'll look after them myself.
I'll cook their meals for them.
493
00:30:44,387 --> 00:30:46,231
I promise they won't
be any more trouble.
494
00:30:46,913 --> 00:30:49,120
Miss Fiske, they must
be with me, they must.
495
00:30:49,439 --> 00:30:51,590
I'll pay for their keep.
I'll work for nothing.
496
00:30:51,834 --> 00:30:54,509
Please .. oh, please Miss Fiske.
497
00:30:54,829 --> 00:30:56,720
Ellen, have you quite
gone out of your mind?
498
00:30:57,064 --> 00:31:00,126
You must be blind if you can't realise
they'd always be getting in my way.
499
00:31:00,342 --> 00:31:02,612
You pack them off tomorrow.
- But, Miss Fiske. Won't ..?
500
00:31:02,828 --> 00:31:04,369
No Ellen, my mind is made up.
501
00:31:05,471 --> 00:31:09,239
If you want to, you can stay here a few
days until you've found a new situation.
502
00:31:10,018 --> 00:31:12,814
Now run along to bed. And make
certain they leave tomorrow.
503
00:31:14,132 --> 00:31:16,592
You wouldn't want me to be sending
for the police, would you?
504
00:31:18,682 --> 00:31:20,329
Goodnight Ellen. I'm tired.
505
00:31:24,230 --> 00:31:25,186
Goodnight.
506
00:31:48,528 --> 00:31:50,908
But you told her you were
going to send us away.
507
00:31:52,592 --> 00:31:54,344
I'm not going to send you away.
508
00:31:54,732 --> 00:31:56,620
We heard you. We were listening.
509
00:31:57,784 --> 00:31:59,386
Isn't she terrible, Ellen?
510
00:32:00,207 --> 00:32:01,536
She's wicked.
511
00:32:03,006 --> 00:32:04,907
I'm not going to send you away.
512
00:32:06,836 --> 00:32:07,678
Never.
513
00:32:08,554 --> 00:32:11,269
If you're not sending us away,
what are you going to do?
514
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,293
I don't know.
515
00:32:16,674 --> 00:32:17,831
I must think.
516
00:32:30,078 --> 00:32:32,550
I've always wanted
to explore an old castle.
517
00:32:32,971 --> 00:32:35,857
Will it have a dungeon do you think?
- They all have dungeons.
518
00:32:36,191 --> 00:32:36,978
With bats.
519
00:32:37,415 --> 00:32:39,138
No, dear. Bats are in belfries.
520
00:32:39,459 --> 00:32:43,180
There's sure to be secret passageways
and places where they'd hide things.
521
00:32:45,198 --> 00:32:46,346
Like that.
522
00:32:54,259 --> 00:32:58,372
Yes .. I'm sure Miss Fiske has lots
of exciting things hidden in there.
523
00:32:58,588 --> 00:33:00,212
Her jewels, I'm sure.
524
00:33:01,019 --> 00:33:04,181
I've looked in all her boxes and
haven't been able to find them.
525
00:33:04,718 --> 00:33:07,167
Are you both ready?
- Oh yes. Quite.
526
00:33:07,404 --> 00:33:10,004
I managed to pack all
the lunch into one bag.
527
00:33:10,660 --> 00:33:11,630
Mine.
528
00:33:12,914 --> 00:33:15,600
Come here and sit down.
I want to talk to you both.
529
00:33:25,193 --> 00:33:25,808
Now.
530
00:33:26,107 --> 00:33:28,868
I haven't told you the real reason why
you're being sent away for a whole day.
531
00:33:29,589 --> 00:33:32,633
The truth is I want to be entirely
alone with Miss Fiske for a few hours.
532
00:33:32,849 --> 00:33:34,817
Is that why you got rid of Lucy too?
533
00:33:35,131 --> 00:33:37,177
I didn't get rid of Lucy, Emily.
She had a toothache.
534
00:33:37,393 --> 00:33:40,293
Oh Ellen dear, you know that's
not true. She didn't want to go at all.
535
00:33:40,754 --> 00:33:42,833
I said she had a toothache, Louisa.
536
00:33:44,698 --> 00:33:45,628
Now listen.
537
00:33:46,220 --> 00:33:49,408
Last night, while you were both asleep,
I had a long talk with Miss Fiske.
538
00:33:50,131 --> 00:33:52,867
She's tired of the marshes
and wants to travel for a bit.
539
00:33:53,530 --> 00:33:55,633
I've persuaded her to
sell this house to me.
540
00:33:55,849 --> 00:33:58,210
Not really, Ellen?
- We haven't discussed price yet.
541
00:33:58,976 --> 00:34:02,422
That's why I must be alone with her, so
we can talk with nothing to distract us.
542
00:34:02,694 --> 00:34:05,355
She may want more than
you're prepared to pay.
543
00:34:07,101 --> 00:34:09,142
I'm prepared to pay
quite a big price, Emily.
544
00:34:09,569 --> 00:34:11,442
Oh, lovely, lovely, lovely.
545
00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:14,491
Oh Emily, aren't you excited?
- Louisa, be quiet.
546
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:17,415
Now, there's one more thing.
547
00:34:18,401 --> 00:34:19,716
The most important.
548
00:34:35,231 --> 00:34:36,722
You see this bible, both of you?
549
00:34:37,587 --> 00:34:39,899
I want you to swear on it.
By father's memory.
550
00:34:40,590 --> 00:34:43,550
That you'll never repeat a word of my
buying this house as long as you live.
551
00:34:45,940 --> 00:34:46,963
What do I say?
552
00:34:47,581 --> 00:34:48,963
Just say 'I swear'.
553
00:34:49,670 --> 00:34:51,113
Oh .. I swear.
554
00:34:51,554 --> 00:34:52,484
You too, Emily.
555
00:34:52,787 --> 00:34:54,831
I won't swear on the bible. It's wicked.
556
00:34:55,435 --> 00:34:56,571
If you don't Emily ..
557
00:34:56,869 --> 00:34:59,143
I shan't buy the house and I'll
send you both back to London.
558
00:34:59,426 --> 00:35:01,058
Oh Emily, be sensible.
559
00:35:01,660 --> 00:35:04,984
I don't like being made
to do things .. I promise.
560
00:35:05,604 --> 00:35:06,759
Now, remember.
561
00:35:07,527 --> 00:35:09,016
That's a sacred oath.
562
00:35:15,968 --> 00:35:18,162
Here's Bates. Hurry now.
There's no time to waste.
563

Drive slowly Bates.
Please don't let them get cold.

You can take your time. I shan't be
expecting you back before dusk.

Very good, ma'am.
566

Goodbye Ellen. I wish you could come.
- I wish you were coming too.

- Goodbye.

Have a good time.
- Thank you.

I'm out of practice.

To dear Louisa and dear Emily.
572
00:37:14,858 --> 00:37:16,359
May we never meet again.
573
00:37:22,767 --> 00:37:24,335
That is so good.

May we come in?
- Yes.
576
00:39:25,330 --> 00:39:28,536
I'd like to speak to Miss Ellen.
Unless Miss Fiske is back?
577
00:39:29,038 --> 00:39:32,096
No, she's still away. I'll fetch Ellen.
578
00:39:34,682 --> 00:39:36,292
We're making jam.
579
00:39:44,568 --> 00:39:45,883
Good evening.
580
00:39:46,963 --> 00:39:48,418
It isn't a very good one, is it?
581
00:39:48,747 --> 00:39:52,681
No, as a matter of fact it's not.
Cats and dogs.
582

Good evening, Sisters.
583

Sorry to keep you waiting.

00:39:58,866 --> 00:40:00,911
But we're in the middle of
putting up our quince jam.
585
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,087
Please don't apologise. I'm afraid
we've come on a begging errand.
586
00:40:04,550 --> 00:40:06,781
Our supplier of oil hasn't
arrived from Rochester.
587
00:40:07,225 --> 00:40:10,245
And the Reverend Mother wondered
if we might borrow a can until Sunday.

Will you run out to the shed
and bring in a can of paraffin.

Yes, Miss Ellen.

about with the storm and all?

What business?
- Listen, Lucky.

Is Miss Fiske about?
- No, she's away.

And them two crazy sisters of hers.
- Does she know I've been here before?

No. Mistress said not to say.
- Good. Get on with your work.

Not that we shan't .. later.

I'm very particular who I know.
607
00:41:30,205 --> 00:41:33,391
For a moment, when I saw the candles
burning, I thought Miss Fiske was back.

Ellen's been lighting them lately.

I really couldn't say, Sister.

She hasn't written for over a fortnight.

We were so surprised
to learn she'd gone.

She hadn't mentioned she was
planning a journey anywhere.

No. It was quite unexpected.

She had a letter from some old
friends inviting her on a trip.

- She's taken to lighting those candles.

00:45:30,552 --> 00:45:31,975
Thanks, me old cup of tea.
679
00:45:32,431 --> 00:45:34,816
Emily, slice off some beef,
and put out the bread and cheese.
680
00:45:35,830 --> 00:45:38,158
A pint of half-and-half would
be the proper ticket with that.
681
00:45:38,374 --> 00:45:39,680
This isn't a Tavern, Albert.
682
00:45:40,391 --> 00:45:43,061
How about a spot of brandy to
take the damp out of my throat?
683
00:45:43,426 --> 00:45:45,228
I'm unsure there's any
left in the decanter.
684
00:45:45,444 --> 00:45:46,717
There's some in the cellar.
685
00:45:47,395 --> 00:45:49,813
A cellar, eh? Your Ladyship,
allow me to lead you to it.
686
00:45:50,487 --> 00:45:52,705
No .. I'll go myself.
687
00:45:54,020 --> 00:45:55,499
Make way for the Duchess.
688
00:46:27,321 --> 00:46:29,640
Blimey. The view from here
is the best on the marshes.
689
00:46:30,542 --> 00:46:33,481
I say auntie, is this all yours?
- No, of course not.
690
00:46:34,251 --> 00:46:36,166
It belongs to the woman
I work for. Miss Fiske.
691
00:46:37,011 --> 00:46:39,510
Where is she, might I ask?
- Away.
692
00:46:41,683 --> 00:46:44,148
Five years, auntie old girl.
- What of it?
693
00:46:44,453 --> 00:46:46,646
You've changed.
- You've not.
694
00:46:47,504 --> 00:46:50,373
The same big blue eyes though.
You're still Lady touch-me-not.
695
00:46:50,847 --> 00:46:53,265
Let go of me. I'm in no
mood for your foolishness.
696
00:46:54,208 --> 00:46:55,739
The way you seem to be all keyed up.
697
00:46:55,999 --> 00:46:58,072
A little of my foolishness
just might do you no harm.
698
00:47:01,721 --> 00:47:02,961
Here's your food, Albert.
699
00:47:04,313 --> 00:47:07,205
Run up to bed, both of you.
I want to talk with Albert.
700
00:47:07,421 --> 00:47:10,580
But we don't want to go to bed.
- No, we want to stay to talk to Albert.
701
00:47:10,905 --> 00:47:13,857
Go on, do as aunt Ellen says. Toddle off
to bye-byes like good little girls.
702
00:47:14,125 --> 00:47:16,821
Here, wait. Why don't you wet your
whistles. It will make you sleep tight.
703
00:47:17,178 --> 00:47:19,055
Sleep tight. Albert, you are silly.
704
00:47:19,553 --> 00:47:22,004
I don't think they'd better, Albert.
- What's the harm?
705
00:47:22,483 --> 00:47:24,708
You don't have a long-lost
nephew every night of the week.
706
00:47:25,121 --> 00:47:26,369
Fetch some glasses, Emily.
707
00:47:26,585 --> 00:47:29,797
Very well, but not too much now.
- Just a tiny thimbleful for me, Albert.
708
00:47:31,252 --> 00:47:32,688
How about you, aunt Ellen?
709
00:47:33,327 --> 00:47:34,716
Nothing for me, thank you.
710
00:47:37,757 --> 00:47:40,199
Now, my Siamese twins.
What about a toast, eh?
711
00:47:40,523 --> 00:47:41,905
I don't know any.
712
00:47:42,140 --> 00:47:44,008
In that case, here's to absent friends.
713
00:47:44,328 --> 00:47:45,464
Absent friends.
714
00:47:46,046 --> 00:47:48,543
Ellen, I suppose we
should think of Miss Fiske.
715
00:48:01,321 --> 00:48:03,604
Who put out those candles?
- What candles?
716
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,445
Oh those.
- It must have been the wind.
717
00:48:10,055 --> 00:48:11,998
Goodnight, Albert.
- Goodnight my lady.
718
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,204
Goodnight, Albert.
- Goodnight.
719
00:48:21,642 --> 00:48:23,379
It wasn't the wind, Ellen.
720
00:48:38,904 --> 00:48:41,109
I say auntie, you've not
turned Roman have you?
721
00:48:41,466 --> 00:48:42,763
I do this for a friend.
722
00:48:48,243 --> 00:48:49,129
Now, Albert.
723
00:48:49,869 --> 00:48:52,134
Let's stop all this 'auntie' nonsense
and get down to cases.
724
00:48:52,862 --> 00:48:54,748
Why have you come here
and what do you want?
725
00:48:55,073 --> 00:48:56,918
Well auntie .. I mean, Ellen.
726
00:48:57,692 --> 00:49:02,208
To cut it fine, I'm taking a compulsory
holiday from my bank over in Gravesend.
727
00:49:02,602 --> 00:49:05,107
In other words, you've lost your job.
- I've given it up.
728
00:49:05,738 --> 00:49:07,522
You haven't done anything
wrong, have you?
729
00:49:09,237 --> 00:49:11,605
I sort-of helped myself to a
little salary I wasn't entitled to.
730
00:49:12,885 --> 00:49:14,393
You mean, you've stolen money.
731
00:49:16,415 --> 00:49:19,181
This is rattling good brandy.
- Answer me, Albert.
732
00:49:21,270 --> 00:49:23,848
You've got it.
- How much?
733
00:49:24,594 --> 00:49:27,402
A small matter of a hundred pounds.
- I'll see.
734
00:49:30,342 --> 00:49:33,271
I suppose you want me to give you the
hundred pounds so you can put it back?
735
00:49:33,515 --> 00:49:36,477
I'm afraid it's too late for that.
They found out, the police.
736
00:49:37,180 --> 00:49:38,164
The police?
737
00:49:38,389 --> 00:49:42,016
A friend passed me the tip they were
coming. So I .. I took French leave.
738
00:49:42,455 --> 00:49:44,956
But .. they'll follow you.
They'll come here.
739
00:49:46,079 --> 00:49:49,774
Don't worry .. no-one knows I've got
relations out here on the marshes.
740
00:49:51,122 --> 00:49:52,699
I'll be safe here for a lifetime.
741
00:49:53,159 --> 00:49:55,319
You're certainly not going
to stay here for a lifetime.
742
00:49:55,769 --> 00:49:57,815
Surely you don't mind me
staying for a while, do you?
743
00:49:58,340 --> 00:50:00,745
Until it all blows over.
- Then what do you propose to do?
744
00:50:01,094 --> 00:50:03,725
Clear out of the country.
America, Australia. Any old where.
745
00:50:04,230 --> 00:50:06,552
I'm .. counting on you to help me.
746
00:50:06,868 --> 00:50:08,188
I need money for my passage.
747
00:50:08,631 --> 00:50:09,630
I'm .. I'm stony.
748
00:50:11,353 --> 00:50:13,246
It won't cost much. Steerage.
749
00:50:13,691 --> 00:50:15,882
I don't see why I should concern
myself with your affairs.
750
00:50:16,414 --> 00:50:17,870
I'll land in prison if you don't.
751
00:50:19,541 --> 00:50:22,420
You're not the sort to turn anybody down
who's in trouble and needed your help.
752
00:50:23,210 --> 00:50:24,969
You wouldn't fail your
own flesh and blood.
753
00:50:25,185 --> 00:50:27,020
I'm no flesh and blood of yours, Albert.
754
00:50:27,468 --> 00:50:29,199
Won't you give me a
chance to start again?
755
00:50:29,415 --> 00:50:30,734
I promise. Cross my heart.
756
00:50:31,090 --> 00:50:33,457
I'll never do anything wrong
again for the rest of my natural.
757
00:50:33,673 --> 00:50:35,143
Let me go.
758
00:50:41,301 --> 00:50:44,030
Very well. I'll do it.
- Bless you, Ellen.
759
00:50:44,415 --> 00:50:46,973
You're a daisy, you are.
- We'll talk about it in the morning.
760
00:50:47,820 --> 00:50:50,180
You can sleep on the sofa tonight.
- I don't mind where I sleep.
761
00:50:50,396 --> 00:50:51,419
But mind you ..
762
00:50:51,635 --> 00:50:54,218
You can only stay until I've
arranged your passage on the boat.
763
00:50:54,434 --> 00:50:57,466
Anything you say,
Ellen old girl .. what's that?
764
00:50:57,983 --> 00:50:59,945
That's just the maid.
She's been out on an errand.
765
00:51:01,006 --> 00:51:02,550
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss?
766
00:51:04,518 --> 00:51:06,220
They'll be a gentleman
staying the night.
767
00:51:06,639 --> 00:51:07,819
A gentleman staying?
768
00:51:08,099 --> 00:51:09,776
A relation. He'll sleep in here.
769
00:51:10,033 --> 00:51:12,679
Now go to your room and change your
wet clothes before you start sneezing.
770
00:51:12,895 --> 00:51:15,090
Yes, Miss .. goodnight.
- Goodnight.
771
00:51:15,306 --> 00:51:16,096
Goodnight.
772
00:51:16,620 --> 00:51:17,557
'Lucy', is it?
773
00:51:19,035 --> 00:51:20,472
Yes .. Lucy.
774
00:51:23,706 --> 00:51:25,687
I fancy that's all for
tonight, aunt Ellen.
775
00:51:26,138 --> 00:51:29,180
I'll just have a weed before
I turn in. The last of the day.
776
00:51:30,306 --> 00:51:32,729
You seem to be taking this
all very lightly, Albert.
777
00:51:33,490 --> 00:51:35,166
You have told me the worst, haven't you?
778
00:51:35,601 --> 00:51:38,110
I mean, there isn't anything else?
- What else?
779
00:51:40,653 --> 00:51:42,212
There are worse things than stealing.
780
00:51:42,987 --> 00:51:43,994
For instance?
781
00:51:45,828 --> 00:51:47,359
No, there's no blood on my hands.
782
00:51:47,743 --> 00:51:49,703
Putting people out calls
for <i>real </i>nerve, you know.
783
00:51:54,270 --> 00:51:55,303
Yes.
784
00:51:59,547 --> 00:52:01,321
Goodnight, Albert.
- Nighty night.
785
00:53:12,967 --> 00:53:15,145
Did you enjoy the sermon, Mr Bates?
786
00:53:15,603 --> 00:53:16,818
Mighty powerful, Miss.
787
00:53:17,293 --> 00:53:18,797
Yes. It was, wasn't it.
788
00:53:20,284 --> 00:53:22,109
But there was a lot I didn't understand.
789
00:53:23,490 --> 00:53:24,866
The part that went ..
790
00:53:25,639 --> 00:53:26,568
How was it?
791
00:53:27,496 --> 00:53:29,004
The wicked flee.
792
00:53:30,087 --> 00:53:32,717
When no man .. pursueth.
793
00:53:34,739 --> 00:53:36,575
But .. but ..
794
00:53:38,561 --> 00:53:41,233
The righteous are as bold as a lion.
795
00:54:08,319 --> 00:54:09,297
Well.
796
00:54:10,743 --> 00:54:12,479
What do you think you're doing?
797
00:54:13,690 --> 00:54:16,840
I fooled around with this padlock
last night and it .. came off.
798
00:54:17,592 --> 00:54:18,689
You shouldn't have.
799
00:54:19,344 --> 00:54:21,297
That's where Miss Fiske
keeps her valuables.
800
00:54:21,551 --> 00:54:23,794
How does she get at them?
With a pickaxe? Look.
801
00:54:25,898 --> 00:54:28,667
Well I never. All bricked up.
802
00:54:29,531 --> 00:54:31,248
I wonder why that was done.
803
00:54:31,530 --> 00:54:33,342
It wasn't that way the
last time I was here.
804
00:54:33,821 --> 00:54:35,868
So you've had your nose
in there before, have you?
805
00:54:36,948 --> 00:54:39,174
Funny what nasty thoughts
people have sometimes, isn't it.
806
00:54:39,390 --> 00:54:41,597
Funny how they're right
sometimes, isn't it.
807
00:54:59,037 --> 00:55:01,443
I wonder why anyone would want
to brick up a place like that?
808
00:55:02,492 --> 00:55:05,171
Maybe Miss Fiske put her jewels
in there before she went away.
809
00:55:05,807 --> 00:55:08,881
You know .. she's not one to take
any chances leaving them about.
810
00:55:09,234 --> 00:55:10,530
Even with your aunt Ellen.
811
00:55:12,817 --> 00:55:15,523
If there are any sparkles in there,
I wouldn't mind having a peep at them.
812
00:55:15,748 --> 00:55:18,262
I'm sure you wouldn't.
- And neither would you, I dare say.
813
00:55:19,833 --> 00:55:24,037
In fact .. I'm sure you'd like the feel
of some around your swan-like neck.
814
00:55:26,610 --> 00:55:28,629
A pretty pink ear like
that calls for diamonds.
815
00:55:29,014 --> 00:55:31,473
A wandering hand like yours
calls for a slap in the face.
816
00:55:31,821 --> 00:55:33,675
It's wicked to slap a
man's face on a Sunday.
817
00:55:33,981 --> 00:55:35,745
The better the day, the better the deed.
818
00:55:36,179 --> 00:55:37,595
That leaves my conscience clear.
819
00:55:42,243 --> 00:55:43,680
I'll scream.
820
00:55:45,098 --> 00:55:46,140
What's that?
821
00:55:52,703 --> 00:55:55,550
What do you think I'm made of?
- Sugar and spice.
822
00:55:56,874 --> 00:55:58,131
And everything nice.
823
00:56:01,849 --> 00:56:03,164
Blimey, you're strong.
824
00:56:06,001 --> 00:56:07,586
It's a wig. Whose is it?
825
00:56:08,854 --> 00:56:10,150
It is Miss Fiske's.
826
00:56:10,705 --> 00:56:12,391
Oh, it's her best one.
827
00:56:13,295 --> 00:56:15,239
She's as bald as a coot.
- Ah.
828
00:56:15,455 --> 00:56:17,042
A wonder she didn't take it with her.
829
00:56:18,291 --> 00:56:19,267
Hello.
830
00:56:19,605 --> 00:56:22,290
Ah, she left a lot of
her fancy dresses too.
831
00:56:23,063 --> 00:56:24,930
Perhaps she'll buy some
new ones up in London?
832
00:56:25,392 --> 00:56:26,938
These are new. Most of them.
833
00:56:27,918 --> 00:56:30,059
You'd better put that back up.
- Alright.
834
00:56:30,285 --> 00:56:31,783
Get up on this chair.
835
00:56:39,798 --> 00:56:41,554
You know, it <i>is</i> odd
she only took one wig.
836
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:45,357
On a trip, anything might happen.
A fire or a gust of wind.
837
00:56:45,751 --> 00:56:46,409
Oh.
838
00:56:47,720 --> 00:56:49,195
Here's Emily coming up the path.
839
00:56:50,109 --> 00:56:51,329
You'd better be off.
840
00:56:57,184 --> 00:56:58,794
Hello my old cup of tea.
841
00:57:00,310 --> 00:57:02,634
What are you doing with those
bull-rushes? Looking for Moses?
842
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,371
You're making fun of me .. naughty boy.
843
00:57:28,649 --> 00:57:31,405
Hello Ducky .. I'm glad you're
back before the others.
844
00:57:31,964 --> 00:57:34,668
It isn't often I have the chance of
a tête-à-tête with the family's fairest.
845
00:57:34,884 --> 00:57:36,672
You're never serious
about anything, Albert.
846
00:57:36,888 --> 00:57:38,846
I was never more serious in my life.
847
00:57:40,212 --> 00:57:42,518
The storm did an enormous
amount of damage.
848
00:57:42,869 --> 00:57:45,494
Roads into Rochester and Gravesend
were completely flooded.
849
00:57:46,258 --> 00:57:48,836
The Postman told me.
- I hope they stay that way.
850
00:57:50,098 --> 00:57:51,558
Allow me, Empress.
851
00:57:52,362 --> 00:57:54,681
There's only one letter today.
It's for Miss Fiske.
852
00:57:55,047 --> 00:57:55,755
Is it?
853
00:58:01,577 --> 00:58:03,226
It's a cosy nest you got here.
854
00:58:03,605 --> 00:58:05,661
What's will happen to you
when Miss Fiske gets back?
855
00:58:05,896 --> 00:58:07,596
Will she let you stay on, do you think?
856
00:58:11,455 --> 00:58:12,701
She isn't coming back.
857
00:58:13,532 --> 00:58:14,548
Why not?
858
00:58:15,342 --> 00:58:16,575
Ellen's bought the house.
859
00:58:19,252 --> 00:58:19,924
Go on.
860
00:58:20,140 --> 00:58:21,241
Yes. It's quite true.
861
00:58:22,049 --> 00:58:23,150
It's a secret though.
862
00:58:23,366 --> 00:58:26,001
Ellen made us swear on the bible
that we wouldn't tell anyone.
863
00:58:26,218 --> 00:58:28,300
But you are one of the family.
So it's alright.
864
00:58:29,873 --> 00:58:31,661
Why should she want
to keep it a secret, eh?
865
00:58:31,877 --> 00:58:33,636
I don't know.
It was done in a great hurry.
866
00:58:33,873 --> 00:58:35,534
Louisa and I were sent off to Rochester.
867
00:58:35,750 --> 00:58:38,669
Then when we came back that night,
Miss Fiske was gone and it was all over.
868
00:58:40,902 --> 00:58:42,862
You won't tell Ellen I told
you, will you, Albert?
869
00:58:43,234 --> 00:58:43,975
No.
870
00:58:45,212 --> 00:58:47,000
We'll make that our
little secret, shall we?
871
00:58:47,335 --> 00:58:48,064
Alright.
872
00:58:50,086 --> 00:58:52,513
It will be rather fun.
Having a secret from Ellen.
873
00:58:53,143 --> 00:58:55,628
She thinks she's the clever one.
But she isn't.
874
00:58:57,109 --> 00:58:57,924
Not always.
875
00:58:59,816 --> 00:59:00,402
No.
876
00:59:01,225 --> 00:59:02,040
Not always.
877
00:59:17,517 --> 00:59:19,294
Albert.
- What?
878
00:59:25,153 --> 00:59:26,418
Good morning.
879
00:59:28,974 --> 00:59:30,034
May we come in?
880
00:59:30,250 --> 00:59:32,261
Who's that?
- A couple of nuns from The Priory.
881
00:59:33,048 --> 00:59:36,099
You talk to them, Albert.
I've got to tidy up the orchard.
882
00:59:47,032 --> 00:59:51,087
Oh .. I didn't know there was
a young man staying here.
883
00:59:51,632 --> 00:59:52,844
Is Miss Ellen about?
884
00:59:53,060 --> 00:59:55,956
Sorry. She's gone over to the church at
Cawley. I'm her nephew, can I help?
885
00:59:56,487 --> 01:00:00,357
We came to return this. She lent us
a little oil last night. We ran short.
886
01:00:00,792 --> 01:00:02,060
Thanks.
- Yes, and this.
887
01:00:02,634 --> 01:00:04,846
The rent for the little field.
Your aunt will understand.
888
01:00:05,106 --> 01:00:06,179
I'll give it to her.
889
01:00:06,395 --> 01:00:08,788
We are so looking forward
to Miss Fiske's return.
890
01:00:09,371 --> 01:00:10,864
She's a dear friend of ours.
891
01:00:11,239 --> 01:00:14,646
Oh .. have you .. heard from her lately?
892
01:00:15,031 --> 01:00:16,218
No, not a word.
893
01:00:16,752 --> 01:00:19,335
I think the Reverend Mother is
a trifle hurt she hasn't written.
894
01:00:19,678 --> 01:00:22,281
In fact, she didn't even tell
us she was going away.
895
01:00:22,777 --> 01:00:25,295
Not very chummy, was it.
- No, it wasn't.
896
01:00:26,837 --> 01:00:28,232
Good morning.
- Good morning.
897
01:01:05,242 --> 01:01:07,671
Now what are you up to?
- Fetch me a knife, Ducky.
898
01:01:15,499 --> 01:01:17,170
What's that?
- A letter for Miss Fiske.
899
01:01:17,511 --> 01:01:19,943
You're not going to open it?
- No. Wouldn't think of it.
900
01:01:24,242 --> 01:01:25,431
What's it say?
901
01:01:26,201 --> 01:01:28,502
'Dear Madam.
Regarding your instructions ..'
902
01:01:28,718 --> 01:01:31,591
'To forward the amount of the
enclosed cheque in 5-pound notes'.
903
01:01:32,239 --> 01:01:36,889
'Your signature appears to differ from
that with which we are acquainted'.
904
01:01:38,793 --> 01:01:41,444
'We should be obliged if you
could kindly confirm same ..'
905
01:01:41,845 --> 01:01:44,354
'By signing it afresh.
In your usual manner'.
906
01:01:48,582 --> 01:01:49,634
Fifty pounds.
907
01:01:50,633 --> 01:01:51,591
Notice the date.
908
01:01:52,218 --> 01:01:53,703
'October 14th'.
909
01:01:54,794 --> 01:01:57,258
That's three days ago.
She's been gone longer than that.
910
01:01:57,803 --> 01:01:59,484
Since the beginning of September.
911
01:02:00,292 --> 01:02:02,329
She probably made it
out from wherever she is.
912
01:02:02,949 --> 01:02:04,986
Yes, she could have. Hey, wait a minute.
913
01:02:06,442 --> 01:02:08,765
In that case, why did they
send the reply to her here?
914
01:02:10,183 --> 01:02:11,666
You see who it's made payable to?
915
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:14,680
Ellen Creed.
916
01:02:15,506 --> 01:02:17,785
What of it? I expect it's
the housekeeping money.
917
01:02:18,380 --> 01:02:21,488
Maybe. Where's the glue-pot?
- Over there.
918
01:02:21,704 --> 01:02:23,015
Get it for me.
919
01:02:28,096 --> 01:02:30,146
Dip your finger in it.
- I should say not.
920
01:02:30,516 --> 01:02:31,817
I've had no hand in this.
921
01:02:33,119 --> 01:02:33,963
Haven't you?
922
01:02:35,383 --> 01:02:37,379
You are a filthy pig.
- Go on. Seal it up.
923
01:02:38,971 --> 01:02:39,930
Go on.
924
01:02:44,402 --> 01:02:46,276
Don't forget.
You're in this as deep as me now.
925
01:02:46,550 --> 01:02:48,124
I wish you'd never come here.
926
01:02:48,888 --> 01:02:51,488
I don't know what comes over
me when you're around.
927
01:02:52,752 --> 01:02:54,483
You won't give me away
to Ellen, will you?
928
01:02:54,699 --> 01:02:56,230
I won't if you keep your mouth shut.
929
01:03:03,357 --> 01:03:06,241
Here come the performing seals.
Not a word, mind you.
930
01:03:17,604 --> 01:03:18,397
Albert.
931
01:03:18,622 --> 01:03:20,252
Hello, aunts .. had a nice pray?
932
01:03:20,492 --> 01:03:22,114
You should have been at church, Albert.
933
01:03:22,576 --> 01:03:24,609
The minister told us all about Hell.
934
01:03:25,016 --> 01:03:27,336
You'd have enjoyed the
bit about the lost souls ..
935
01:03:27,682 --> 01:03:29,251
Sizzling in the bottomless pit.
936
01:03:29,554 --> 01:03:31,970
Would I now? Sounds frightening.
937
01:03:32,540 --> 01:03:34,859
Ellen .. where is Hell?
938
01:03:37,451 --> 01:03:39,443
Hell is like the Kingdom of Heaven.
939
01:03:41,672 --> 01:03:42,552
It is within.
940
01:03:43,037 --> 01:03:43,995
That reminds me.
941
01:03:44,310 --> 01:03:45,926
One of your religious friends was here.
942
01:03:46,258 --> 01:03:49,076
She left you this.
It's the rent for some field or other.
943
01:03:50,580 --> 01:03:52,568
She didn't see you, did she?
- I couldn't avoid it.
944
01:03:52,784 --> 01:03:54,258
That was Sister Theresa.
945
01:03:55,171 --> 01:03:59,138
She's Miss Fiske's friend. She doesn't
like us any more than Miss Fiske did.
946
01:03:59,974 --> 01:04:01,311
Didn't Miss Fiske like you?
947
01:04:01,981 --> 01:04:03,098
She was horrid to us.
948
01:04:03,344 --> 01:04:05,103
Louisa, run upstairs
and change your dress.
949
01:04:05,417 --> 01:04:07,148
You can't sit around
in your best all day.
950
01:04:07,445 --> 01:04:08,575
No. I shan't, shall I.
951
01:04:09,221 --> 01:04:10,348
No. Of course not.
952
01:04:12,538 --> 01:04:13,819
Albert.
- Huh?
953
01:04:14,096 --> 01:04:16,776
I don't want you to mention Miss Fiske
again in front of my sisters.
954
01:04:17,336 --> 01:04:18,819
They quarrelled with her.
955
01:04:19,382 --> 01:04:21,392
And it upsets them very
much to talk about her.
956
01:04:22,012 --> 01:04:23,364
Sorry. Nobody told me.
957
01:04:24,555 --> 01:04:26,055
What did you quarrel about?
958
01:04:26,666 --> 01:04:28,328
I didn't say I quarrelled with her.
959
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,220
Would she by any chance be the friend
you lit those candles for last night?
960
01:04:37,276 --> 01:04:38,187
Yes.
961
01:04:39,145 --> 01:04:40,469
When did she die?
962
01:04:42,779 --> 01:04:43,699
Die?
963
01:04:44,779 --> 01:04:46,516
Who said anything about her being dead?
964
01:04:47,042 --> 01:04:50,858
I just assumed she was.
You don't light candles for the living.
965
01:04:51,493 --> 01:04:53,352
Do you?
- I don't know.
966
01:04:54,178 --> 01:04:55,831
I just thought they stood for prayer.
967
01:04:56,685 --> 01:04:58,451
I must find Emily.
- By the way.
968
01:04:58,779 --> 01:05:00,614
The postman gave her
a letter for Miss Fiske.
969
01:05:00,911 --> 01:05:02,450
From her bank, I believe.
970
01:05:03,202 --> 01:05:04,375
Give it to me.
971
01:05:14,895 --> 01:05:16,951
I'm managing all her
affairs while she's away.
972
01:05:29,109 --> 01:05:31,579
Anything important?
- Yes, rather.
973
01:05:32,625 --> 01:05:34,512
I must get an answer
in the post immediately.
974
01:05:39,075 --> 01:05:40,763
A stylish looking piano you've got here.
975
01:05:41,029 --> 01:05:43,016
Don't distract me, Albert.
I must concentrate.
976
01:05:43,301 --> 01:05:45,026
I'm sorry. Don't mind me, auntie.
977
01:05:59,907 --> 01:06:01,335
I say, you are up to date.
978
01:06:02,020 --> 01:06:04,648
I didn't expect to find a copy of
The Mikado way out here on the marshes.
979
01:06:10,467 --> 01:06:12,747
[ Whistling song: Tit-Willow ]
980
01:06:20,224 --> 01:06:21,491
Don't do that.
981
01:06:22,064 --> 01:06:24,252
I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to distract you.
982
01:06:25,378 --> 01:06:27,960
It's just I happen to dislike that
particular tune. That's all.
983
01:06:28,261 --> 01:06:29,932
It's a bit on the morbid side.
984
01:06:35,775 --> 01:06:37,740
Miss Ellen, how soon
will you want dinner?
985
01:06:38,044 --> 01:06:39,402
In a quarter of an hour, Lucy.
986
01:06:39,624 --> 01:06:41,383
I'll just post this
letter at the crossing.
987
01:06:41,801 --> 01:06:42,788
Let me go, Ellen.
988
01:06:43,019 --> 01:06:44,372
I can do with a sniff of air.
989
01:06:44,588 --> 01:06:46,710
No thank you.
I prefer to attend to this myself.
990
01:07:20,938 --> 01:07:22,723
What are you up to now?
991
01:07:23,124 --> 01:07:24,998
She just wrote a reply to
the letter we opened.
992
01:07:25,426 --> 01:07:27,560
I thought it would be interesting
to see what she says.
993
01:07:28,703 --> 01:07:29,518
'Dear sir'.
994
01:07:30,198 --> 01:07:30,956
'Cheque'.
995
01:07:31,301 --> 01:07:32,168
Something.
996
01:07:32,562 --> 01:07:33,406
'Incorrect'.
997
01:07:34,231 --> 01:07:35,018
Something.
998
01:07:35,529 --> 01:07:36,258
'Owing'.
999
01:07:36,987 --> 01:07:38,671
Something, something.
1000
01:07:39,444 --> 01:07:40,350
'Wrist'.
1001
01:07:41,875 --> 01:07:43,870
What does that word
look like to you? See.
1002
01:07:44,636 --> 01:07:47,233
'S .. p .. r ..'
1003
01:07:47,779 --> 01:07:48,718
S .. p .. r.
1004
01:07:49,226 --> 01:07:50,685
'Sprained'. That's it.
1005
01:07:51,092 --> 01:07:52,394
'Owing to a sprained wrist'.
1006
01:07:53,878 --> 01:07:54,922
Something. 'Yours'.
1007
01:07:55,374 --> 01:07:56,225
'Leonora'.
1008
01:07:57,357 --> 01:07:58,758
'Leonora Fiske'.
1009
01:08:01,625 --> 01:08:03,040
She signed it 'Leonora Fiske'.
1010
01:08:03,525 --> 01:08:04,684
What's it mean, Albert?
1011
01:08:05,493 --> 01:08:06,665
What do you think?
1012
01:08:07,266 --> 01:08:09,506
It looks as if she's pretending
to be Miss Fiske.
1013
01:08:10,308 --> 01:08:12,239
Getting money on the strength of it.
- Brilliant.
1014
01:08:12,455 --> 01:08:13,845
If that's true, she's a thief.
1015
01:08:14,342 --> 01:08:15,535
Like you.
- Shut up.
1016
01:08:18,319 --> 01:08:20,417
What will happen when
Miss Fiske comes back?
1017
01:08:23,624 --> 01:08:25,061
Suppose she isn't coming back?
1018
01:08:26,187 --> 01:08:29,149
Suppose she's died somewhere.
And Ellen is the only one who knows.
1019
01:08:29,485 --> 01:08:31,229
You can't die and only
one person know it.
1020
01:08:31,445 --> 01:08:32,744
Can't you? I'm not so sure.
1021
01:08:34,460 --> 01:08:35,600
One thing I do know.
1022
01:08:35,906 --> 01:08:38,896
She'd never risk it unless she knew
Miss Fiske was out of the way for good.
1023
01:08:39,955 --> 01:08:43,091
Alright .. assume she's dead.
Aunt Ellen is having the funds.
1024
01:08:43,645 --> 01:08:45,721
It might be years before
anybody would find out.
1025
01:08:48,011 --> 01:08:49,815
Why should she reap all the benefit?
1026
01:08:55,455 --> 01:08:57,100
There may be some pickings in it for us.
1027
01:08:57,481 --> 01:08:59,841
Would you like to see a bit of the
world? Have some fun with me?
1028
01:09:00,057 --> 01:09:01,907
You'd tempt Old Nick
himself, wouldn't you?
1029
01:09:02,123 --> 01:09:03,540
You've got to help me get proof.
1030
01:09:03,775 --> 01:09:05,763
I don't want to do anything
mean or underhanded.
1031
01:09:06,113 --> 01:09:09,069
Would I ask you to? Use your eyes
and keep your ears open. That's all.
1032
01:09:09,863 --> 01:09:10,821
What do you say?
1033
01:09:11,696 --> 01:09:12,720
I don't know.
1034
01:09:12,936 --> 01:09:14,752
Perhaps this will help
you make up your mind.
1035
01:09:20,189 --> 01:09:22,321
Well?
- I'll help you, Albert.
1036
01:09:23,541 --> 01:09:25,685
Here she comes. Look sharp now.
Back to the kitchen.
1037
01:10:47,655 --> 01:10:48,984
She's coming.
1038
01:10:49,341 --> 01:10:51,214
Blimey. You almost made
me frightened myself.
1039
01:10:51,698 --> 01:10:53,567
Hurry up, hurry up.
- Alright. Shut up.
1040
01:10:57,097 --> 01:10:59,119
Hey, go in the kitchen
and make some tea.
1041
01:11:00,769 --> 01:11:03,053
Take this with you. Go on, hurry.
1042
01:11:08,868 --> 01:11:10,408
Goodnight, Bates.
- Night, ma'am.
1043
01:11:10,665 --> 01:11:12,424
Don't forget.
Ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
1044
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:13,710
Very good, ma'am.
1045
01:11:24,420 --> 01:11:25,960
Did you have a successful trip?
1046
01:11:29,358 --> 01:11:30,324
Yes.
1047
01:11:31,452 --> 01:11:32,615
I have your ticket.
1048
01:11:33,462 --> 01:11:35,112
You leave tomorrow.
1049
01:11:36,730 --> 01:11:37,873
Do I?
1050
01:11:38,909 --> 01:11:41,037
Where are my sisters?
- I sent them off to bed.
1051
01:11:41,594 --> 01:11:44,567
They were getting a little out of hand.
- I dare say it wasn't their fault.
1052
01:11:45,180 --> 01:11:46,694
Lucy is making some hot tea.
1053
01:11:47,190 --> 01:11:48,628
We thought you might be cold.
1054
01:11:49,171 --> 01:11:51,500
I'll be down again .. as soon as
I've said goodnight to them.
1055
01:12:05,306 --> 01:12:06,436
Is everything alright?
1056
01:12:06,652 --> 01:12:09,253
No it's not. She's packing me off
tomorrow. We've got to move fast.
1057
01:12:10,013 --> 01:12:14,109
You haven't changed your mind, have you?
- I couldn't refuse you anything .. now.
1058
01:12:17,711 --> 01:12:20,732
We thought you'd never come,
Ellen .. I was frightened.
1059
01:12:21,412 --> 01:12:22,227
Frightened?
1060
01:12:22,443 --> 01:12:24,128
Yes, they were such funny noises.
1061
01:12:24,896 --> 01:12:26,049
It was only the rats.
1062
01:12:27,710 --> 01:12:29,343
What have you been doing all evening?
1063
01:12:29,794 --> 01:12:33,166
We played a game of cribbage.
Of course, Albert cheated.
1064
01:12:33,475 --> 01:12:35,420
But it was rather fun
watching him cheat.
1065
01:12:36,156 --> 01:12:38,001
He hasn't said anything
about Miss Fiske?
1066
01:12:38,432 --> 01:12:39,681
No.
- Miss Fiske?
1067
01:12:41,073 --> 01:12:41,974
Why should he?
1068
01:12:42,322 --> 01:12:44,819
And neither of you spoke to him
about my buying the house?
1069
01:12:45,173 --> 01:12:46,021
No, Ellen.
1070
01:12:46,441 --> 01:12:47,399
Do you remember?
1071
01:12:47,678 --> 01:12:49,855
You made us swear on
the bible we wouldn't.
1072
01:12:53,352 --> 01:12:55,327
I think you'd better go to
sleep now, both of you.
1073
01:12:55,778 --> 01:12:58,491
I'm going downstairs to have a
hot cup of tea before I go to bed.
1074
01:13:11,633 --> 01:13:14,151
Albert, do you think ..?
- Pour the tea, Lucy.
1075
01:13:21,955 --> 01:13:24,408
Thank you Lucy. You may go to bed now.
- Yes, Miss Ellen.
1076
01:13:24,946 --> 01:13:26,345
Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
1077
01:13:36,366 --> 01:13:37,639
Auntie, where is your cane?
1078
01:13:38,312 --> 01:13:40,981
You look like you'd like to take down
my breeches and give me a dozen.
1079
01:13:42,223 --> 01:13:45,038
There's a boat sailing for Canada
on Friday. You sail with it.
1080
01:13:46,295 --> 01:13:47,826
I'm not sure I want to go to Canada.
1081
01:13:48,849 --> 01:13:49,693
Yet a while.
1082
01:13:50,173 --> 01:13:51,779
You haven't much choice, have you?
1083
01:13:52,201 --> 01:13:54,201
I don't know. I'm getting
quite fond of this place.
1084
01:13:54,463 --> 01:13:57,278
The air suits me .. I'm very
happy here for the time being.
1085
01:13:57,793 --> 01:13:59,765
I'm not happy having you here.
- Why?
1086
01:14:01,027 --> 01:14:03,956
It isn't safe since Sister Theresa
knows you're staying here with us.
1087
01:14:04,613 --> 01:14:07,129
The wrong sort of talk would bring
the police around here in no time.
1088
01:14:07,692 --> 01:14:09,826
I don't propose to risk a
scandal on your account.
1089
01:14:10,979 --> 01:14:12,484
There's more to it than that.
1090
01:14:13,552 --> 01:14:14,914
Lucy is apt to talk.
1091
01:14:15,787 --> 01:14:17,383
I don't think we need worry about her.
1092
01:14:18,557 --> 01:14:20,578
No. You've made sure of that.
1093
01:14:21,269 --> 01:14:24,026
Whatever do you mean by that?
- You know what, you cheap little ..
1094
01:14:24,454 --> 01:14:26,419
Stop it Ellen.
You'll make me lose my temper.
1095
01:14:26,784 --> 01:14:27,717
Your temper?
1096
01:14:27,975 --> 01:14:30,803
You leave first thing in the morning.
That's the end of you and your temper.
1097
01:14:31,019 --> 01:14:32,487
I shouldn't try to bluff me.
1098
01:14:32,885 --> 01:14:36,020
I'm not bluffing you. I order you.
- If I don't choose to be ordered?
1099
01:14:36,755 --> 01:14:39,395
I can't throw you out physically.
But I can send for the police.
1100
01:14:39,611 --> 01:14:40,765
And have your scandal?
1101
01:14:41,425 --> 01:14:43,625
Really, you're being very
inconsistent now, auntie dear.
1102
01:14:47,747 --> 01:14:49,119
You won't send for the police.
1103
01:14:50,349 --> 01:14:51,841
Why are you so sure?
1104
01:14:52,573 --> 01:14:53,992
Because you've another reason.
1105
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:56,914
A more important reason for
not wanting the police here.
1106
01:14:57,546 --> 01:14:59,799
For wanting me out of this
house as quickly as possible.
1107
01:15:01,265 --> 01:15:02,936
As a matter of fact, you are right.
1108
01:15:03,339 --> 01:15:04,889
Now we get down to brass tacks.
1109
01:15:09,192 --> 01:15:11,134
Did it concern Miss Fiske by any chance?
1110
01:15:12,843 --> 01:15:14,271
It would and it does.
1111
01:15:15,303 --> 01:15:18,769
I met her in town today.
She's coming back.
1112
01:15:21,002 --> 01:15:24,068
She's coming back?
- And why shouldn't she?
1113
01:15:25,444 --> 01:15:27,138
I thought she'd gone for good.
1114
01:15:27,641 --> 01:15:29,345
How utterly absurd of you, Albert.
1115
01:15:29,950 --> 01:15:32,232
There has never been any
question of her not coming back.
1116
01:15:33,753 --> 01:15:35,532
Why didn't you say
so in the first place?
1117
01:15:35,748 --> 01:15:37,942
You played the fool so much
with Louisa and Emily.
1118
01:15:39,190 --> 01:15:40,693
I was afraid you'd blurt it out.
1119
01:15:42,481 --> 01:15:44,355
As it is, I'll have to
break it to them gently.
1120
01:15:44,571 --> 01:15:46,477
Because it means
they will have to go too.
1121
01:15:51,855 --> 01:15:53,989
My little country holiday has
obviously come to an end.
1122
01:15:54,843 --> 01:15:56,734
I don't know what the
blazes I'll do in Canada.
1123
01:15:56,950 --> 01:15:59,119
I suppose one can starve there
as well as anywhere else.
1124
01:15:59,677 --> 01:16:00,790
You'll get on.
1125
01:16:01,757 --> 01:16:03,762
I'll give you a little
something to start off with.
1126
01:16:04,659 --> 01:16:05,908
For your mother's sake.
1127
01:16:06,405 --> 01:16:08,376
I suppose I should extend
my most humble thanks.
1128
01:16:08,668 --> 01:16:10,540
No. That from you would be too much.
1129
01:16:11,034 --> 01:16:13,664
If that's all we have to say to each
other, I may as well get up to bed.
1130
01:16:32,163 --> 01:16:34,237
A good night's sleep wouldn't
do you any harm, either.
1131
01:16:35,093 --> 01:16:36,483
You look a bit played out.
1132
01:16:42,139 --> 01:16:43,698
I must lock up first.
1133
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,157
Will I be seeing you in the
morning before I leave?
1134
01:16:49,557 --> 01:16:50,486
Yes.
1135
01:16:59,735 --> 01:17:01,070
I forgot to tell you, auntie.
1136
01:17:02,138 --> 01:17:03,848
I had a funny dream last night.
1137
01:17:05,052 --> 01:17:05,796
Did you?
1138
01:17:08,636 --> 01:17:10,288
I dreamt Miss Fiske was dead.
1139
01:17:17,761 --> 01:17:20,112
Goodnight, auntie.
- Goodnight, Albert.
1140
01:18:52,767 --> 01:18:54,268
Miss Fiske ..
1141
01:19:06,554 --> 01:19:07,625
Albert.
1142
01:19:08,620 --> 01:19:09,497
Albert!
1143
01:19:48,544 --> 01:19:49,617
Good morning, Bates.
1144
01:19:49,833 --> 01:19:52,997
Miss Creed ordered me. It's about the
train, but she didn't say which one.
1145
01:19:53,823 --> 01:19:54,626
Bates.
1146
01:19:55,260 --> 01:19:56,975
Cancel it. Miss Creed's
not feeling well.
1147
01:19:57,382 --> 01:19:59,134
Nothing serious I hope, sir?
1148
01:19:59,716 --> 01:20:00,845
No. Nothing serious.
1149
01:20:01,576 --> 01:20:03,714
In that case, I'd better hop along.
1150
01:20:11,215 --> 01:20:13,479
She did look ill when I
took in her early tea.
1151
01:20:13,844 --> 01:20:15,160
I wish we hadn't done it.
1152
01:20:15,376 --> 01:20:17,754
Pull yourself together.
You'll ruin everything. Go on upstairs.
1153
01:20:18,116 --> 01:20:20,071
She might have died.
- Shut up.
1154
01:20:22,419 --> 01:20:24,304
Well she didn't. And we
proved what we wanted.
1155
01:20:24,605 --> 01:20:27,046
Miss Fiske is dead and she knows it.
- I wonder when she died.
1156
01:20:27,262 --> 01:20:30,193
One more go, and I'll tell you when
and how, she died. Now, go on upstairs.
1157
01:20:32,234 --> 01:20:33,778
What did Bates want, Albert?
1158
01:20:34,469 --> 01:20:37,339
He brought the news from the outside
world. It will tickle you to death.
1159
01:20:37,669 --> 01:20:39,500
Wigs and whiskers are
coming back in again.
1160
01:20:39,795 --> 01:20:41,748
I don't think this is a
time for joking, Albert.
1161
01:20:42,024 --> 01:20:43,268
With Ellen the way she is.
1162
01:20:43,484 --> 01:20:45,673
You take this thing too seriously,
my old brussels sprout.
1163
01:20:45,906 --> 01:20:48,296
She was walking in her sleep
and had a nightmare. That's all.
1164
01:20:48,857 --> 01:20:50,738
It wasn't a nightmare, Albert.
1165
01:20:52,979 --> 01:20:56,425
Oh .. what was it then?
- She says she saw a ghost.
1166
01:20:58,326 --> 01:21:00,241
In that case, lay another
place for breakfast.
1167
01:21:01,837 --> 01:21:04,083
Do you really think
it was a ghost, Emily?
1168
01:21:04,814 --> 01:21:08,147
If it were only a nightmare,
we wouldn't have heard it too.
1169
01:21:09,095 --> 01:21:12,379
Heard what?
- The music. Miss Fiske's music.
1170
01:21:13,216 --> 01:21:14,174
You know, Emily.
1171
01:21:14,512 --> 01:21:16,786
I'm sometimes afraid Miss Fiske
will get the better of Ellen.
1172
01:21:17,358 --> 01:21:20,210
I sometimes think she wants
to come back and turn us out.
1173
01:21:20,570 --> 01:21:23,299
I think Miss Fiske is here .. now.
1174
01:21:24,166 --> 01:21:27,506
Well .. what are you
two whispering about?
1175
01:21:28,354 --> 01:21:30,821
Hadn't you better go for your walk now?
- Yes, Ellen.
1176
01:21:31,124 --> 01:21:32,605
Anything you say, Ellen.
1177
01:21:46,684 --> 01:21:48,838
Do you think you're
strong enough to be up?
1178
01:21:49,303 --> 01:21:52,031
Yes, dear. I'm quite alright now.
- Hadn't you better have a doctor?
1179
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,336
No. A doctor couldn't do any good.
1180
01:22:01,118 --> 01:22:03,274
Why are you two standing
there like a couple of owls?
1181
01:22:04,315 --> 01:22:05,674
Emily has been frightening me.
1182
01:22:05,890 --> 01:22:07,724
You've been imagining
things, both of you.
1183
01:22:07,940 --> 01:22:09,719
Now, run along for your walk.
1184
01:22:10,194 --> 01:22:12,573
Whatever you say, Ellen. You know best.
1185
01:22:47,533 --> 01:22:48,748
Good morning, aunt Ellen.
1186
01:22:52,429 --> 01:22:53,848
We didn't expect you down today.
1187
01:22:55,144 --> 01:22:56,748
Why aren't you ready yet?
1188
01:22:57,416 --> 01:22:58,898
Bates will be here at any moment.
1189
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:01,876
Bates has been here and
gone .. I sent him away.
1190
01:23:02,599 --> 01:23:04,832
What do you mean by interfering
with my arrangements?
1191
01:23:05,087 --> 01:23:07,308
I didn't like to go and leave
you not feeling well.
1192
01:23:07,829 --> 01:23:09,585
I'm quite recovered now, thank you.
1193
01:23:10,535 --> 01:23:12,151
It was a queer turn you had last night.
1194
01:23:13,012 --> 01:23:13,913
What happened?
1195
01:23:16,155 --> 01:23:17,012
Nothing.
1196
01:23:17,529 --> 01:23:19,792
You know, you should really do
something about your nerves.
1197
01:23:20,064 --> 01:23:22,710
This isn't the first time you've walked
in your sleep, according to Emily.
1198
01:23:23,866 --> 01:23:24,996
What's Emily told you?
1199
01:23:25,212 --> 01:23:26,370
Just the usual chatter.
1200
01:23:27,566 --> 01:23:30,648
They do say that people who walk in
their sleep have a guilty conscience.
1201
01:23:32,807 --> 01:23:34,722
What's behind that remark, Albert?
1202
01:23:35,877 --> 01:23:36,788
Nothing.
1203
01:23:56,997 --> 01:23:58,016
You know.
1204
01:23:58,692 --> 01:23:59,725
Uhuh.
1205
01:24:07,734 --> 01:24:09,783
Then it was you last night?
- Yes.
1206
01:24:10,635 --> 01:24:12,786
Me and Lucy.
- She knows too?
1207
01:24:13,435 --> 01:24:16,579
Not what I know. That's something you
and I are going to keep to ourselves.
1208
01:24:17,454 --> 01:24:19,302
Provided of course, you treat me right.
1209
01:24:21,351 --> 01:24:22,852
What are you going to do?
1210
01:24:24,955 --> 01:24:26,342
As I said, I'm very happy here.
1211
01:24:26,974 --> 01:24:29,880
I think with your financial help I'll
be able to adjust things at the bank.
1212
01:24:30,486 --> 01:24:33,462
And we can all settle down in peace.
A contented little family.
1213
01:24:38,699 --> 01:24:40,639
You mean, you propose
to go on living here?
1214
01:24:41,042 --> 01:24:42,511
With me?
- Why not?
1215
01:24:43,380 --> 01:24:45,003
You'd never be quite sure, would you?
1216
01:24:45,991 --> 01:24:47,704
You might not enjoy your meals.
1217
01:24:51,328 --> 01:24:53,741
You wouldn't dare .. a second time.
1218
01:24:54,750 --> 01:24:57,031
It takes a lot of courage to
kill for the first time, Albert.
1219
01:24:57,830 --> 01:25:00,317
Once you've sold your soul to
the Devil it becomes easier.
1220
01:25:01,558 --> 01:25:02,675
Much easier.
1221
01:25:03,887 --> 01:25:07,713
Alright .. give me £500 and I'll clear
out for good. And keep my mouth shut.
1222
01:25:07,933 --> 01:25:10,215
I'm not afraid of you, Albert.
And your shabby little tricks.
1223
01:25:10,666 --> 01:25:13,323
In the middle of the night, you may
fancy yourself cutting quite a figure.
1224
01:25:13,980 --> 01:25:15,595
It's broad daylight now.
1225
01:25:16,055 --> 01:25:17,426
[ Door knocks ]
1226
01:25:22,761 --> 01:25:23,944
It's those nuns.
1227
01:25:24,482 --> 01:25:27,362
Get that out of sight.
And yourself with it.
1228
01:25:31,659 --> 01:25:33,002
[ Door knocks ]
1229
01:25:38,532 --> 01:25:41,311
Good day, Sisters.
- I must talk to you, right away.
1230
01:25:41,857 --> 01:25:43,121
Are you alone?
- Yes.
1231
01:25:43,889 --> 01:25:44,905
What's the matter?
1232
01:25:45,241 --> 01:25:48,898
It's really none of my business
and I shouldn't have come but ..
1233
01:25:49,781 --> 01:25:52,419
The police. They've been to the Priory.
- What about?
1234
01:25:52,973 --> 01:25:54,653
They're searching for a young man.
1235
01:25:55,095 --> 01:25:57,671
Who stole money from a
bank over Gravesend way.
1236
01:25:58,212 --> 01:26:01,295
And from the description,
I suspect it was your nephew.
1237
01:26:01,945 --> 01:26:05,639
I thought if he were told, he might
have a chance to do the right thing.
1238
01:26:06,213 --> 01:26:07,596
And give himself up.
1239
01:26:08,675 --> 01:26:10,261
It is your nephew?
- Yes.
1240
01:26:10,825 --> 01:26:14,130
But they mustn't search here.
- They've gone to the Coyne farm first.
1241
01:26:14,553 --> 01:26:16,139
I heard one of them say so.
1242
01:26:17,097 --> 01:26:20,813
Oh Miss Ellen. Have I done
wrong in coming to warn you?
1243
01:26:22,345 --> 01:26:23,773
I don't know, Sister.
1244
01:26:24,730 --> 01:26:26,719
I had a brother rather like that.
1245
01:26:27,632 --> 01:26:28,938
He went wrong too.
1246
01:26:30,148 --> 01:26:33,618
People are so easily lost, aren't they?
1247
01:26:34,524 --> 01:26:35,575
Yes they are.
1248
01:26:36,083 --> 01:26:38,511
Poor girl. You have so many burdens.
1249
01:26:39,161 --> 01:26:40,320
If you refer to Albert.
1250
01:26:40,901 --> 01:26:42,388
He means absolutely nothing to me.
1251
01:26:43,143 --> 01:26:44,543
No-one does, for that matter.
1252
01:26:45,350 --> 01:26:46,843
Except Emily and Louisa.
1253
01:26:48,365 --> 01:26:53,486
If, any time, we can do anything to make
things easier for you or your sisters ..
1254
01:26:54,242 --> 01:26:56,078
Don't hesitate to turn to us.
1255
01:26:56,401 --> 01:26:58,181
That's very kind of you, Sister Theresa.
1256
01:26:58,843 --> 01:27:00,509
But you know, we're not of your faith.
1257
01:27:01,152 --> 01:27:04,017
In my Father's house are many mansions.
1258
01:27:10,324 --> 01:27:11,797
Blimey, I thought they'd never go.
1259
01:27:12,013 --> 01:27:13,715
Thanks for putting in
a good word for me.
1260
01:27:15,247 --> 01:27:16,837
The Coyne farm, is it?
1261
01:27:17,115 --> 01:27:19,332
That will give me a chance to
get behind them to the river.
1262
01:27:19,548 --> 01:27:21,951
Hurry. There's no time to lose.
- Yes, I'll get my clothes.
1263
01:27:36,482 --> 01:27:37,496
Lucy.
1264
01:27:38,970 --> 01:27:40,574
Why are you staring at me like that?
1265
01:27:47,259 --> 01:27:48,389
You've been listening.
1266
01:27:52,279 --> 01:27:53,011
Lucy.
1267
01:27:53,847 --> 01:27:55,077
Lucy, come back.
1268
01:27:56,673 --> 01:27:57,922
Lucy, come back.
1269
01:28:00,607 --> 01:28:01,729
What's up?
1270
01:28:04,948 --> 01:28:05,763
What is it?
1271
01:28:06,671 --> 01:28:07,700
Lucy's run off.
1272
01:28:08,543 --> 01:28:09,842
She was listening.
1273
01:28:11,899 --> 01:28:13,091
Turn me in, would she?
1274
01:28:13,589 --> 01:28:15,946
I've got to move fast.
Where's that money and boat ticket?
1275
01:28:21,783 --> 01:28:23,304
You mean, she heard all about that?
1276
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:28,225
Yes.
1277
01:28:29,117 --> 01:28:31,860
Hey .. you'd better
make a dash for it too.
1278
01:28:46,271 --> 01:28:47,740
Don't stand there mooning about.
1279
01:28:48,092 --> 01:28:49,909
Put your things on and
let's get out of here.
1280
01:28:52,816 --> 01:28:53,999
I'm not going.
1281
01:28:56,844 --> 01:28:58,130
Are you out of your mind?
1282
01:29:01,266 --> 01:29:03,883
You know what they'll do to you?
- You'd better hurry, Albert.
1283
01:29:04,966 --> 01:29:06,581
Well, if that don't beat the cards.
1284
01:29:08,780 --> 01:29:09,710
Well then ..
1285
01:29:11,785 --> 01:29:14,516
So long Ellen .. no hard feelings.
1286
01:29:49,217 --> 01:29:50,486
Ellen, it was so funny.
1287
01:29:50,849 --> 01:29:51,893
We just saw Albert.
1288
01:29:52,306 --> 01:29:53,808
He was playing 'tag' with some men.
1289
01:29:54,130 --> 01:29:56,069
He didn't win. They caught him.
1290
01:29:56,413 --> 01:29:57,556
He got quite annoyed.
1291
01:30:00,436 --> 01:30:02,922
Ellen, look.
We found a lot of jackdaw feathers.
1292
01:30:03,297 --> 01:30:05,846
We're going to tie them into
bundles and make little dusters.
1293
01:30:07,021 --> 01:30:08,492
Where are you going?
1294
01:30:10,172 --> 01:30:11,816
I'm going to Coyne farm.
1295
01:30:12,298 --> 01:30:14,852
There are some gentlemen there from
Gravesend and I want to see them.
1296
01:30:15,068 --> 01:30:16,974
You won't bring them
back here, will you Ellen.
1297
01:30:17,228 --> 01:30:19,134
It's so nice and peaceful by ourselves.
1298
01:30:20,007 --> 01:30:22,812
No, dear. I'll try not to
bring them back here.
1299
01:30:31,833 --> 01:30:35,636
You have been happy here, haven't you?
- We are happy here, aren't we Emily?
1300
01:30:35,852 --> 01:30:38,249
Yes .. it's much better than London.
1301
01:30:38,547 --> 01:30:40,897
It's so good of you to have
bought this house for us.
1302
01:30:41,242 --> 01:30:43,035
You have been clever, Ellen.
1303
01:31:06,500 --> 01:31:07,632
How long will you be?
1304
01:31:08,778 --> 01:31:10,031
I don't know, dear.
1305
01:31:10,562 --> 01:31:12,115
Maybe quite a time.
1306
01:31:13,116 --> 01:31:15,317
I think I shall go down
to The Priory tomorrow.
1307
01:31:15,914 --> 01:31:18,728
I should like to see the things the
Reverend Mother collected on the marsh.
1308
01:31:18,965 --> 01:31:20,045
I'll go with you.
1309
01:31:26,793 --> 01:31:29,371
Goodbye, Ellen .. don't worry about us.
1310
01:31:29,816 --> 01:31:31,460
We can look after ourselves.
1311
01:32:12,774 --> 01:32:13,678

Ellen Creed, a proud spinster fallen on hard times, has spent the past two years as housekeeper and companion to her old friend Leonora Fiske, a wealthy retiree who in her youth had been a chorus girl "of easy virtue". Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.
One day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.
Ellen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.
Ellen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.
Some nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.
Albert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a "sprained wrist." Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.
Albert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men. Ellen smiles, dons her coat and hat, tells the sisters she's going to see some men, kisses them goodbye and departs into the fog.

00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:15,105
Ellen.
2
00:02:16,275 --> 00:02:18,207
Yes, Miss Fiske.
- Is there any mail for me?
3
00:02:18,783 --> 00:02:20,449
No, just this one letter.
4
00:02:22,257 --> 00:02:24,580
No sign of Bates yet?
- Not yet.
5
00:02:25,271 --> 00:02:27,122
Oh dear, I do hope you
won't miss your train.
6
00:02:28,288 --> 00:02:29,130
I mustn't.
7
00:02:32,003 --> 00:02:34,632
Oh Lucy, hurry with that bag.
- Just coming, Miss.

00:02:39,861 --> 00:02:40,533
Ellen.

00:02:40,937 --> 00:02:42,986
That business I want you
to see about in London.
10
00:02:43,703 --> 00:02:45,281
This is for Mr Scott at the bank.
11
00:02:45,872 --> 00:02:47,797
It's about those Brazilian
bonds of mine.
12
00:02:48,116 --> 00:02:50,463
The way the market is this week,
I think they ought to be ..
13
00:02:51,108 --> 00:02:53,011
Get outside.
Keep your eyes open for Bates.
14
00:02:53,367 --> 00:02:54,154
Yes, Miss.
15
00:02:57,364 --> 00:02:59,365
And this address is
just off Berkeley Square.
16
00:02:59,637 --> 00:03:02,745
Go to the servant's entrance and
ask for Mr Blake. He's the butler.
17
00:03:02,990 --> 00:03:06,248
Say you've come from me with
a message for Lord Cardington.
18
00:03:06,501 --> 00:03:08,999
And will he give it to his
Lordship .. privately.

00:03:10,145 --> 00:03:11,726
Ellen, you aren't paying attention.
20
00:03:12,861 --> 00:03:14,130
But I am, Miss Fiske.
21
00:03:15,291 --> 00:03:16,862
What would be the best time to call?
22
00:03:18,183 --> 00:03:20,515
Harry always used to dine around eight.
23
00:03:21,648 --> 00:03:23,869
You call about half past seven.
- Yes, very well.
24
00:03:24,511 --> 00:03:25,441
You seem upset.
25
00:03:26,165 --> 00:03:27,082
Bad news?
26
00:03:28,607 --> 00:03:30,395
I don't want to bother
you with my troubles.
27
00:03:31,555 --> 00:03:33,845
It isn't a question of bothering
me with your troubles.
28
00:03:34,385 --> 00:03:36,059
You've become almost like my daughter.
29
00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:40,033
The letter is from my sisters,
Emily and Louisa.
30
00:03:40,723 --> 00:03:42,666
They're very unhappy back
in London without me.
31
00:03:43,371 --> 00:03:46,159
After all, I only saw them once since
I came to work for you, Miss Fiske.
32
00:03:46,627 --> 00:03:50,075
You'll see them today, won't you?
And everything will be alright, surely.
33
00:03:50,516 --> 00:03:51,365
Miss Fiske.
34
00:03:52,270 --> 00:03:53,239
Bates is coming.
35
00:03:53,677 --> 00:03:54,941
Tell him to hurry himself.
36
00:03:56,902 --> 00:04:00,083
My kind regards to your sisters, Ellen.
- Thank you, Miss Fiske.
37
00:04:05,516 --> 00:04:07,945
I've written them so much about you.
38
00:04:08,818 --> 00:04:10,041
How kind you've been.
39
00:04:10,952 --> 00:04:13,704
Stuff and nonsense.
I'm fond of you. You shouldn't ..
40
00:04:14,411 --> 00:04:16,314
Oh, a lovely juicy one.
41
00:04:18,629 --> 00:04:21,722
Perhaps you'll .. you might allow
them down for a little visit one day?
42
00:04:22,338 --> 00:04:24,174
Oh dear, look what the damp has done.
43
00:04:24,744 --> 00:04:27,291
Certainly, yes.
By all means. At any time.
44
00:04:27,661 --> 00:04:30,625
You know Lucy polished this
table all yesterday afternoon.
45
00:04:31,859 --> 00:04:34,142
Miss Fiske.
- Yes?
46
00:04:34,903 --> 00:04:36,139
It occurred to me that ..
47
00:04:36,694 --> 00:04:40,310
Since they've been so wretched lately,
and you may allow them to visit one day.
48
00:04:40,526 --> 00:04:42,677
Oh that? Yes, indeed. You tell them.
49
00:04:43,191 --> 00:04:45,776
Perhaps in the spring when
it's warm and sunny.
50
00:04:58,452 --> 00:05:01,788
Well .. what I was going to ask was ..
51
00:05:03,656 --> 00:05:06,019
Might I bring them back
with me this time? Now?
52
00:05:06,313 --> 00:05:08,044
Well now, Ellen.
- They won't be a bother.
53
00:05:08,260 --> 00:05:11,100
I promise Miss Fiske .. and it
will mean so much to them.
54
00:05:13,860 --> 00:05:17,056
Very well my dear. You bring with
you by all means. For a day or two.
55
00:05:17,531 --> 00:05:18,974
Thank you, Miss Fiske.
56
00:05:19,913 --> 00:05:22,776
I can't tell you how grateful I am.
- Well don't try, my dear.
57
00:05:23,612 --> 00:05:26,540
He's here, Miss.
- About time. The good-for-nothing.
58
00:05:29,731 --> 00:05:31,919
Ellen, have you got everything?
- Yes, Miss Fiske.
59
00:05:36,257 --> 00:05:37,214
Morning, ma'am.
60
00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:40,040
Bates, you might have been more prompt.
What on earth made you so late?
61
00:05:40,256 --> 00:05:44,233
Her. You can't gallop over the roads
with a lady in her delicate condition.
62
00:05:45,131 --> 00:05:46,985
She's going to throw a calf, she be.
63
00:05:47,329 --> 00:05:49,142
I'm taking her to the vets, I am.
64
00:05:49,580 --> 00:05:53,795
Kindly let her not throw any calves
until you get Miss Ellen to the station.
65
00:05:55,009 --> 00:05:58,324
Calves don't come by timetable, lady.
- Well trains do.
66
00:06:01,093 --> 00:06:02,789
Yes, ma'am.
- Goodbye, Miss Fiske.
67
00:06:03,093 --> 00:06:05,919
Goodbye, Miss Ellen.
- Goodbye, Lucy.
68
00:06:08,225 --> 00:06:10,399
Don't forget the allowance
from you-know-who.
69
00:06:10,690 --> 00:06:11,943
No, I shan't.
70
00:06:12,751 --> 00:06:13,558
Goodbye.
71
00:06:14,089 --> 00:06:15,295
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss.
72
00:06:16,549 --> 00:06:18,440
Alright now, there is a
day's work to be done.
73
00:06:43,285 --> 00:06:46,731
La, la, la .. la, la, la.
74
00:06:47,792 --> 00:06:51,445
This is nice. It's very, very nice.
- What's that you have there, Miss?
75
00:06:52,224 --> 00:06:55,022
It's called the New Comic Opera.
It's all the rage in London.
76
00:06:55,382 --> 00:06:56,355
The Mi-Ka-Do.
77
00:06:57,272 --> 00:06:58,355
Mikado.
78
00:06:59,483 --> 00:07:02,512
I used to tour the provinces with
the gentleman who sent it to me.
79
00:07:02,932 --> 00:07:05,701
Look, he signed it for me:
'Rutland Barington'.
80
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,844
'For my adored Leonora
with fond memories of ..'
81
00:07:12,167 --> 00:07:14,032
Never mind about that.
Go and do the dishes.
82
00:07:14,248 --> 00:07:15,034
Yes, Miss.
83
00:07:18,969 --> 00:07:23,159
<i>On a tree by a willow, a little tom-tit</i>.
84
00:07:23,685 --> 00:07:27,337
<i>Sang: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
85
00:07:27,860 --> 00:07:32,012
<i>And I said to him: dicky-bird,
why do you sit?</i>
86
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:36,024
<i>Singing: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
87
00:07:40,329 --> 00:07:41,550
Go on. Don't stop.
88
00:07:41,803 --> 00:07:45,343
Who are you? What are you doing here?
- Listening .. very nice too.
89
00:07:46,281 --> 00:07:48,810
What do you want?
- Ask me in and I'll tell you.
90
00:07:52,312 --> 00:07:55,617
Anyway young man, you may
come in .. but mind your manners.
91
00:07:56,854 --> 00:07:57,794
Alright, Miss.
92
00:08:06,770 --> 00:08:09,470
Isn't this where Miss Ellen Creed lives?
- Yes, she lives here.
93
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:12,146
What do you wish to see her about?
- It's a personal matter.
94
00:08:13,315 --> 00:08:15,156
She's my aunt. I'm Albert Feather.
95
00:08:15,372 --> 00:08:17,189
Your aunt?
- Right.
96
00:08:17,842 --> 00:08:20,039
Her mother was my stepfather's
uncle's second wife.
97
00:08:22,067 --> 00:08:24,058
And where do you come from?
- Gravesend.
98
00:08:24,649 --> 00:08:26,422
I .. I work in a bank there.
99
00:08:26,875 --> 00:08:28,891
It's a very long walk.
Hadn't you better sit down?
100
00:08:29,598 --> 00:08:30,640
Thank you.
101
00:08:33,063 --> 00:08:34,628
I'm afraid it's all been for nothing.
102
00:08:34,844 --> 00:08:37,420
Your aunt Ellen has gone to
London on some business for me.
103
00:08:38,218 --> 00:08:39,462
How long will she be away?
104
00:08:39,790 --> 00:08:41,215
A few days.
- A few?
105
00:08:43,071 --> 00:08:44,665
Blimey. That will be too late.
106
00:08:45,843 --> 00:08:47,270
Is there anything I can do?
107
00:08:47,764 --> 00:08:51,327
I'm Miss Fiske. Your aunt has been
working here as a housekeeper/companion.
108
00:08:52,049 --> 00:08:54,325
I didn't know.
I haven't seen her for five years.
109
00:08:56,066 --> 00:08:57,102
Can I help?
110
00:08:59,294 --> 00:09:00,176
I wonder.
111
00:09:00,570 --> 00:09:01,642
What's the trouble?
112
00:09:02,394 --> 00:09:03,435
Or is it trouble?
113
00:09:04,397 --> 00:09:07,440
It's trouble right enough.
I hardly like to tell you.
114
00:09:08,163 --> 00:09:09,437
Oh, I see.
115
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:11,115
What's the amount?
116
00:09:12,388 --> 00:09:14,291
Twelve pounds.
- How much?
117
00:09:14,952 --> 00:09:17,446
Twelve pounds.
- My goodness. That's a lot of money.
118
00:09:17,662 --> 00:09:19,564
I know. What's worse,
I must have it by tonight.
119
00:09:19,937 --> 00:09:21,177
I'm short at the bank.
120
00:09:21,937 --> 00:09:24,425
It means jail if I can't put it back
before the cashier checks up.
121
00:09:25,063 --> 00:09:27,092
Gambling?
- No. A girl.
122
00:09:28,525 --> 00:09:29,814
Are you engaged to her?
123
00:09:30,198 --> 00:09:31,426
No. She's an actress.
124
00:09:32,294 --> 00:09:34,143
She was in a travelling
company in Gravesend.
125
00:09:34,463 --> 00:09:36,933
What? At the Old Grand?
126
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:39,551
You know it?
- I played there.
127
00:09:40,084 --> 00:09:41,113
Years ago.
128
00:09:41,968 --> 00:09:43,041
You were an actress?
129
00:09:43,648 --> 00:09:45,054
Front row of the chorus.
130
00:09:45,889 --> 00:09:47,868
Fourth from the right.
131
00:09:48,396 --> 00:09:49,710
She was in the chorus too.
132
00:09:50,179 --> 00:09:51,820
I expect you took her out to supper.
133
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:54,542
Then she persuaded you to
go round the shops with her.
134
00:09:55,486 --> 00:09:56,610
How did you know?
135
00:09:58,034 --> 00:09:59,272
'Imagination', my boy.
136
00:10:01,410 --> 00:10:03,427
Anyway, she's over the hills
now to some other town.
137
00:10:03,731 --> 00:10:05,583
And with some other fool.
The little cheat.
138
00:10:10,573 --> 00:10:13,436
Don't worry any more about it.
I'll give you the twelve pounds.
139
00:10:14,686 --> 00:10:15,719
You will?
140
00:10:16,204 --> 00:10:19,080
Perhaps I owe it to you .. in a sense.
141
00:10:20,452 --> 00:10:21,783
Or to some other fool.
142
00:10:22,564 --> 00:10:23,754
You're a life-saver.
143
00:10:24,208 --> 00:10:26,940
Now you just wait here. I'll just
run upstairs and get my keys.
144
00:10:31,814 --> 00:10:33,378
A pity there aren't more like you.
145
00:10:33,970 --> 00:10:35,850
That my, lad, is a matter of opinion.
146
00:10:38,268 --> 00:10:40,807
Do you mind if I tickle on your ivories?
- No, do.
147
00:10:41,403 --> 00:10:42,190
Thank you.
148
00:10:46,990 --> 00:10:50,944
<i>It's the same the whole world over</i>.
149
00:10:52,269 --> 00:10:53,102
<i>It's</i> ..
150
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,183
<i>It's the poor what gets the blame</i>.
151
00:11:04,394 --> 00:11:08,374
<i>While the rich has all the pleasures</i>.
152
00:11:09,117 --> 00:11:12,780
<i>Now, ain't that the blinking shame</i>.
153
00:11:19,442 --> 00:11:20,183
Hello.
154
00:11:20,703 --> 00:11:21,996
You did scare me.
155
00:11:22,780 --> 00:11:24,167
I thought I was hearing things.
156
00:11:24,565 --> 00:11:25,460
You were.
157
00:11:25,819 --> 00:11:26,681
But I mean.
158
00:11:27,344 --> 00:11:28,245
A man's voice.
159
00:11:29,023 --> 00:11:30,360
So funny here.
160
00:11:32,142 --> 00:11:34,993
Doesn't the tide wash up
many male fish, my angel?
161
00:11:35,476 --> 00:11:38,023
A man is as scarce as
hansom cabs in these parts.
162
00:11:38,377 --> 00:11:40,049
That is, all but the old ones.
163
00:11:40,330 --> 00:11:43,699
The young ones go off to London or
some foreign parts as soon as they can.
164
00:11:44,405 --> 00:11:45,990
Are you going off to foreign parts?
165
00:11:46,537 --> 00:11:48,929
It depends.
- Depends on what?
166
00:11:49,541 --> 00:11:51,342
If anyone ever asks me.
167
00:11:52,252 --> 00:11:54,778
I shouldn't think with eyes like them
there would be any difficulty.
168
00:11:55,570 --> 00:11:56,438
Go on.
169
00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:59,288
What's your name?
- Lucy.
170
00:11:59,889 --> 00:12:02,390
What's yours?
- Albert. I'm Miss Creel's nephew.
171
00:12:02,791 --> 00:12:05,195
Funny .. I never heard about you.
172
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,223
That must be remedied.
173
00:12:09,483 --> 00:12:12,253
How about making the most of a male
fish now one has been washed up, eh?
174
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,043
What about a smacker?
- No, you mustn't.
175
00:12:15,952 --> 00:12:17,175
I don't know you.
176
00:12:17,650 --> 00:12:19,993
You needn't know people to kiss them.
- I do.
177
00:12:21,065 --> 00:12:22,481
Alright my girl. It's your loss.
178
00:12:23,722 --> 00:12:25,495
You think a lot of yourself, don't you?
179
00:12:36,494 --> 00:12:39,581
Has Lucy been entertaining you, Albert?
- Eh?
180
00:12:40,669 --> 00:12:42,777
She came in. We had a word or two.
181
00:12:43,910 --> 00:12:46,728
Nice looker, isn't she?
- I didn't notice.
182
00:12:47,252 --> 00:12:50,496
Come now, Albert.
Don't lose your sense of humour.
183
00:12:50,712 --> 00:12:53,147
I hope you're not one of those who
won't benefit from experience.
184
00:12:53,446 --> 00:12:57,232
Otherwise my twelve pounds
will be rather wasted, won't it.
185
00:12:58,006 --> 00:12:59,937
Don't you worry Miss Fiske.
I've had my lesson.
186
00:13:00,307 --> 00:13:01,631
I hope so.
187
00:13:05,189 --> 00:13:07,912
Now .. this is where we
keep our little hoard.
188
00:13:09,396 --> 00:13:11,055
It's an old bake-oven really.
189
00:13:12,795 --> 00:13:14,007
A proper tomb, isn't it?
190
00:13:15,288 --> 00:13:16,161
What's that?
191
00:13:16,603 --> 00:13:18,678
This is what they used to
pull the loaves out with.
192
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:24,941
Of course, we don't use it as a
bake-oven. Hasn't been used in years.
193
00:13:30,894 --> 00:13:31,880
Now then.
194
00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:34,726
Twelve pounds, I think you said.
195
00:13:35,604 --> 00:13:37,505
You couldn't make if fifteen?
- No, I couldn't.
196
00:13:37,721 --> 00:13:38,593
You couldn't?
197
00:13:40,918 --> 00:13:42,648
Do I give you an I.O.U.?
198
00:13:43,001 --> 00:13:44,040
No thank you.
199
00:13:44,453 --> 00:13:45,721
This isn't a loan.
200
00:13:46,087 --> 00:13:49,548
I shouldn't like you to incur the
remorse of not paying it back.
201
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:51,267
You are a daisy.
202
00:13:53,929 --> 00:13:55,680
Very prettily done, Albert.
203
00:14:00,308 --> 00:14:02,327
Now, let's forget all about it.
204
00:14:04,460 --> 00:14:06,870
If you came next week, you'd have
found three of your aunts here.
205
00:14:07,162 --> 00:14:09,049
Ellen is bringing her
sisters back from London.
206
00:14:09,406 --> 00:14:11,513
What, the potty ones?
- Potty?
207
00:14:11,729 --> 00:14:13,188
Queer as mice in a cage.
208
00:14:14,466 --> 00:14:16,775
They're quite harmless.
Especially when aunt Ellen's around.
209
00:14:17,257 --> 00:14:20,141
For comfort, they're coming
to stay here for a few days.
210
00:14:20,646 --> 00:14:23,031
They seem to mean quite a
great deal to your aunt Ellen.
211
00:14:23,247 --> 00:14:24,573
Oh, they would.
212
00:14:25,219 --> 00:14:27,164
She's looked after them
since she was a kid.
213
00:14:27,426 --> 00:14:30,676
She's watched over them like they were
a couple of perishing babes-in-arms.
214
00:14:31,397 --> 00:14:34,292
I think that's very commendable of her.
- Perhaps, but ..
215
00:14:34,796 --> 00:14:36,355
Think of all the fun she's missing.
216
00:14:37,398 --> 00:14:40,282
What, for example?
- You know.
217
00:14:41,511 --> 00:14:42,582
I see.
218
00:14:43,201 --> 00:14:46,094
I have to be toddling along.
I'll pay you back as soon as I can.
219
00:14:51,506 --> 00:14:54,128
I'd appreciate if you don't mention
our little transaction to aunt Ellen.
220
00:14:54,344 --> 00:14:55,709
Very well. If you like.
221
00:14:56,156 --> 00:14:57,446
How about .. whatsername?
222
00:14:57,987 --> 00:15:00,717
Lucy? Oh she won't say anything.
I'll take care of that.
223
00:15:01,147 --> 00:15:01,848
Thanks.
224
00:15:04,128 --> 00:15:05,104
So long my lady.
225
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,428
And again from the heart. I'll never
forget your kindness as long as I live.
226
00:15:10,954 --> 00:15:12,887
I hope you live a great
deal longer than that.
227
00:15:41,690 --> 00:15:45,882
Isn't it funny, Ellen? You can't see
the wind and you can't touch it.
228
00:15:46,164 --> 00:15:47,202
But it's there.
229
00:15:48,220 --> 00:15:51,549
I think you'd better have this round
you, dear. It's getting quite chilly.
230
00:15:52,323 --> 00:15:54,061
Listen .. what's that?
231
00:15:54,324 --> 00:15:56,455
Those are The Priory bells, dear.
From over the marshes.
232
00:15:56,671 --> 00:15:58,875
Oh .. I shan't like that.
233
00:16:00,388 --> 00:16:03,269
She hates bells.
- Especially church bells.
234
00:16:03,959 --> 00:16:06,415
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong.
235
00:16:06,823 --> 00:16:08,452
Aren't the marshes pretty.
236
00:16:09,396 --> 00:16:11,378
The grass is too long and untidy.
237
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,566
If I had a knife and a bit of string,
I'd cut it and tie it up in bundles.
238
00:16:18,823 --> 00:16:21,809
Are there any sheep here on the marshes?
- Yes, Miss.
239
00:16:22,119 --> 00:16:25,040
I think sheep are so clever to
chew their cud the way they do.
240
00:16:25,490 --> 00:16:26,918
It's very difficult.
241
00:16:27,875 --> 00:16:29,030
I've tried.
242
00:16:31,415 --> 00:16:34,749
You ought to be a sailor, Miss.
They're always chewing tobacco.
243
00:16:35,584 --> 00:16:37,415
The man I was to marry was a sailor.
244
00:16:38,195 --> 00:16:39,482
He gave me this.
245
00:16:40,242 --> 00:16:42,105
It's all I have to remember him by.
246
00:16:43,219 --> 00:16:44,631
He was wrecked at sea.
247
00:16:46,036 --> 00:16:47,692
They were all drowned.
248
00:16:48,609 --> 00:16:50,781
It must have been a bit of
sadness for you, Missy.
249
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,617
Oh no. I've quite forgotten
what he looked like.
250
00:16:53,867 --> 00:16:58,114
I saw a drowned man once. They took
him out of the Thames. He was green.
251
00:16:59,726 --> 00:17:00,800
Frogs.
252
00:17:01,614 --> 00:17:03,598
There must be lots of frogs.
253
00:17:04,872 --> 00:17:07,194
We used to have such
fun with them at home.
254
00:17:07,942 --> 00:17:11,767
We used to put them on the dining-table
and make them jump in the marmalade pot.
255
00:17:24,590 --> 00:17:27,124
Look. There's a bird's nest.
- So there is.
256
00:17:27,425 --> 00:17:29,585
It must be last summer's.
- I should like to have that.
257
00:17:29,801 --> 00:17:30,956
Bates, stop please.
258
00:17:33,961 --> 00:17:35,709
Oh .. I have it.
259
00:17:37,576 --> 00:17:40,244
Isn't it beautiful?
- Oh dear, it's all cobwebby.
260
00:17:41,088 --> 00:17:43,437
And it has a horrid smell.
- It mustn't be wasted.
261
00:17:43,773 --> 00:17:46,676
I shall save it until next year
and then I'll put it back again.
262
00:17:47,792 --> 00:17:49,568
Who knows where we'll be next year?
263
00:17:50,919 --> 00:17:53,493
Not in London anyway. You promised that.
264
00:17:54,646 --> 00:17:56,807
Yes, I promised that.
- Look.
265
00:17:59,651 --> 00:18:02,019
Louisa .. how did that happen?
266
00:18:02,290 --> 00:18:03,334
She did it.
- Who?
267
00:18:03,721 --> 00:18:04,985
That woman in London.
268
00:18:05,980 --> 00:18:08,599
She didn't give us enough food either.
- 'Discipline' she said.
269
00:18:09,276 --> 00:18:11,196
Louisa used to cry all night.
270
00:18:11,605 --> 00:18:13,863
I didn't. She couldn't discipline me.
271
00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:17,371
We'll be alright here
though with Miss Fiske.
272
00:18:17,911 --> 00:18:18,927
She won't beat us.
273
00:18:20,371 --> 00:18:22,086
No darling, she won't beat you.
274
00:18:23,299 --> 00:18:24,774
No-one will again. Ever.
275
00:18:35,203 --> 00:18:38,132
Now remember what I told you both.
You're not to talk too much.
276
00:18:38,505 --> 00:18:40,175
Wait until Miss Fiske knows you better.
277
00:18:40,391 --> 00:18:42,433
How can she get to know
us better if we don't talk?
278
00:18:43,833 --> 00:18:45,955
Come along dear.
Bates, get the luggage, will you.
279
00:18:46,171 --> 00:18:47,147
Yes, ma'am.
280
00:18:55,788 --> 00:18:57,441
They look harmless.
- What, Miss?
281
00:18:58,044 --> 00:19:00,065
Never mind. Go and put the kettle on.
- Yes, Miss.
282
00:19:07,201 --> 00:19:09,332
Well, here we are.
- I'm glad.
283
00:19:09,821 --> 00:19:12,750
Miss Fiske .. my sister
Emily, my sister Louisa.
284
00:19:13,012 --> 00:19:15,614
How do you do, Emily?
- We're very glad to be here.
285
00:19:16,355 --> 00:19:18,625
Louisa.
- I don't like people to touch me.
286
00:19:20,092 --> 00:19:22,203
I'm afraid Miss Fiske will
think you're very rude.
287
00:19:22,637 --> 00:19:25,893
They're rather tired, poor dears.
- I never get tired.
288
00:19:26,246 --> 00:19:28,424
I sometimes walk about
the house all night.
289
00:19:29,354 --> 00:19:32,358
Do you indeed?
- No, of course she doesn't, Miss Fiske.
290
00:19:35,582 --> 00:19:37,090
What beautiful furniture.
291
00:19:37,766 --> 00:19:40,401
Just like we used to have
before we lost all our money.
292
00:19:40,705 --> 00:19:44,104
Some of these <i>are </i>our things, dear.
Miss Fiske bought them at my Curio Shop.
293
00:19:44,499 --> 00:19:45,716
I want my tea.
294
00:19:45,982 --> 00:19:49,687
Emily, see .. here's the
grand champ himself.
295
00:19:50,198 --> 00:19:52,303
Remember when father bought him for us?
296
00:19:52,874 --> 00:19:54,913
I wonder if his head still nods.
297
00:19:55,230 --> 00:19:57,850
Ding-dong, ding-dong ..
- Louisa, dear.
298
00:19:58,188 --> 00:20:00,094
Bates, be careful.
You'll scratch the furniture.
299
00:20:00,329 --> 00:20:01,719
Very good, ma'am.
300
00:20:07,149 --> 00:20:09,201
I must say you've brought
enough luggage with you.
301
00:20:09,549 --> 00:20:11,220
We've brought everything.
- Everything?
302
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,760
We had to.
- Why?
303
00:20:13,089 --> 00:20:14,453
When they sent for the police.
304
00:20:14,787 --> 00:20:17,483
Now, my dears. I'm sure all this
can't possibly interest Miss Fiske.
305
00:20:17,819 --> 00:20:19,779
I think we should go up
and rest a bit before tea.
306
00:20:20,125 --> 00:20:22,023
Whatever you say, Ellen.
- Come along, Emily.
307
00:20:22,239 --> 00:20:24,948
That smelly train was very dirty.
308
00:20:25,188 --> 00:20:28,708
She's always fussing about the dirt.
I hope you keep things tidy here.
309
00:20:28,924 --> 00:20:32,483
Cleanliness is next to
Godliness .. don't you agree?
310
00:20:33,018 --> 00:20:35,985
Well .. I'm quite clean, I believe.
311
00:20:36,652 --> 00:20:39,005
But I don't know that
I'm particularly Godly.
312
00:20:39,668 --> 00:20:41,267
I thought you were a Roman.
313
00:20:41,837 --> 00:20:42,824
Isn't that yours?
314
00:20:43,077 --> 00:20:45,458
Miss Fiske is a Roman, dear.
And a very devoted one.
315
00:20:45,929 --> 00:20:47,614
Come along Louisa, Emily.
316
00:20:47,957 --> 00:20:50,102
Father, didn't approve of Romans.
317
00:20:52,032 --> 00:20:53,290
And neither do I.
318
00:21:13,724 --> 00:21:16,116
I expect it's one of those boobies.
319
00:21:16,588 --> 00:21:20,641
Miss Emily was drawing cat's faces on
brown paper yesterday when you were out.
320
00:21:21,138 --> 00:21:23,357
I can't stand it. I can't stand it.
321
00:21:23,721 --> 00:21:26,634
My lovely paisley shawl. It's ruined.
322
00:21:27,927 --> 00:21:31,189
You'd better get some vinegar and see
if you can do something about this spot.
323
00:21:31,443 --> 00:21:32,256
Yes, Miss.
324
00:21:32,810 --> 00:21:35,900
I'm utterly exhausted clearing
up after their messes.
325
00:21:36,172 --> 00:21:38,204
I don't wonder, Miss. So am I.
326
00:21:38,529 --> 00:21:42,030
And you should see their
bedroom. It's like a goat's-pen.
327
00:21:42,483 --> 00:21:45,783
I know it. If it isn't one
thing, it's another.
328
00:21:46,153 --> 00:21:49,633
For the last six weeks were like living
in the middle of Piccadilly Circus.
329
00:21:50,566 --> 00:21:52,478
My heart won't stand it.
330
00:21:53,336 --> 00:21:55,144
Go and get my smelling salts.
331
00:21:56,829 --> 00:21:59,720
Where are they, Miss?
- In the usual place, of course.
332
00:21:59,984 --> 00:22:01,928
Nothing is in the usual
place these days.
333
00:22:02,169 --> 00:22:02,822
No.
334
00:22:03,664 --> 00:22:05,532
Well then, get me a cold compress.
335
00:22:06,303 --> 00:22:09,597
I shall lie down and
take a nap while I can.
336
00:22:13,641 --> 00:22:14,627
Miss Fiske.
337
00:22:14,950 --> 00:22:18,862
Yes, what is it? What is it?
- Will they be staying much longer?
338
00:22:20,743 --> 00:22:23,049
They'll have my invitation
to go this evening.
339
00:22:26,420 --> 00:22:30,273
Oh dear, I wonder where Emily has
gone to. She ought to be back by now.
340
00:22:31,513 --> 00:22:33,331
I can't see her anywhere.
341
00:22:33,776 --> 00:22:37,997
I wish I were brave like Emily.
I should like to take long walks too.
342
00:22:38,404 --> 00:22:40,016
And pick up things.
343
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,248
Perhaps I shall be able to
after we've stayed here longer.
344
00:22:44,902 --> 00:22:46,145
I'm sure you will, dear.
345
00:22:46,442 --> 00:22:48,530
I shall be staying here, shan't I?
346
00:22:49,544 --> 00:22:52,354
You're not planning to send us away?
Are you, Ellen?
347
00:22:53,227 --> 00:22:54,739
No dear. Of course I'm not.
348
00:22:55,199 --> 00:22:57,189
This is what you've always promised us.
349
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,885
A little place in the country
where we can always be safe.
350
00:23:01,424 --> 00:23:04,604
Yes .. it's the one thing
I've been working for.
351
00:23:05,415 --> 00:23:07,236
Ever since we had to
give up the old house.
352
00:23:07,574 --> 00:23:10,567
Naturally, Estuary House
could never be like that.
353
00:23:11,114 --> 00:23:12,511
But it's nice enough.
354
00:23:12,898 --> 00:23:14,774
Yes, and Miss Fiske has
been very kind to us.
355
00:23:15,471 --> 00:23:18,924
Miss Fiske .. may I tell
you something, Ellen?
356
00:23:19,743 --> 00:23:21,102
Just one of my secrets.
357
00:23:21,866 --> 00:23:22,931
Of course you may.
358
00:23:23,717 --> 00:23:25,589
I don't like Miss Fiske.
359
00:23:27,025 --> 00:23:30,951
Couldn't we send her away? Then it
would <i>really</i> be just the three of us.
360
00:23:31,260 --> 00:23:33,656
But I keep telling you,
Louisa. It's <i>her</i> house.
361
00:23:34,059 --> 00:23:36,189
Oh no. You'll never
make me believe that.
362
00:23:36,987 --> 00:23:38,457
All out lovely things are there.
363
00:23:39,795 --> 00:23:43,336
We'll never have to go away, will we?
- No, darling. I promised you.
364
00:23:44,163 --> 00:23:44,998
Never.
365
00:23:46,020 --> 00:23:48,323
I think Miss Fiske wants us to go.
366
00:23:49,091 --> 00:23:50,341
Both of us.
367
00:23:50,928 --> 00:23:52,812
I'm sure I can persuade
her to let you stay.
368
00:23:54,613 --> 00:23:56,349
Oh dear, I do wish Emily would come.
369
00:23:56,602 --> 00:23:58,912
Maybe we'd better get along
home in case she's waiting there.
370
00:23:59,701 --> 00:24:00,838
Come along, dear.
371
00:24:01,945 --> 00:24:04,810
I don't want her upsetting Miss Fiske
again. She can be very tactless.
372
00:24:23,370 --> 00:24:25,220
Here girl, take this.
373
00:24:25,436 --> 00:24:27,267
Thanks a lot. What are we to do with it?
374
00:24:27,506 --> 00:24:29,709
Put it in the woodshed,
where it belongs.
375
00:24:29,962 --> 00:24:33,268
The woodshed is full. I won't have
you cluttering up my kitchen with it.
376
00:24:33,731 --> 00:24:35,093
Very well then.
377
00:24:44,580 --> 00:24:46,788
Oh dear ..
378
00:24:48,844 --> 00:24:50,225
What is it now?
379
00:24:54,808 --> 00:24:56,535
Wait until Miss Fiske sees this.
380
00:24:57,306 --> 00:24:59,938
What's the matter now? My goodness.
381
00:25:00,154 --> 00:25:02,116
More wood?
- Yes. Miss Emily dumped it.
382
00:25:02,602 --> 00:25:04,986
Never mind. You get out of here.
- I got a nice lot today.
383
00:25:05,672 --> 00:25:08,305
What are you thinking of? Making a
mess with it all over my clean floor.
384
00:25:08,521 --> 00:25:10,394
The girl wouldn't let
me put it in the kitchen.
385
00:25:10,671 --> 00:25:13,708
She's quite right. I told you to stop
bringing in wood. We have enough.
386
00:25:13,924 --> 00:25:16,497
I must tidy up the river
banks. I hate waste.
387
00:25:16,713 --> 00:25:18,995
And I hate litter. Now you
clear it away immediately.
388
00:25:19,239 --> 00:25:21,201
I won't be ordered to do things.
389
00:25:22,767 --> 00:25:24,118
This is too much.
390
00:25:24,496 --> 00:25:26,293
My best polished table.
391
00:25:26,789 --> 00:25:28,933
Look how these shells have scratched it.
392
00:25:29,269 --> 00:25:31,965
What's this? Wet seaweed and a horrid ..
393
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,604
Dead bird.
394
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,561
Leave my bird alone. And my shells.
395
00:25:37,060 --> 00:25:38,248
They are my treasures.
396
00:25:38,610 --> 00:25:41,515
We don't understand expensive things.
It's so long since we had any.
397
00:25:41,981 --> 00:25:44,044
I know it's very simple of me.
But I am simple.
398
00:25:44,260 --> 00:25:46,087
Emily .. what's wrong?
399
00:25:46,309 --> 00:25:48,986
I hate her. She threw my
bird into the fireplace.
400
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,507
Emily, control yourself.
401
00:25:50,723 --> 00:25:52,603
See what she's done
with her ridiculous shells.
402
00:25:52,885 --> 00:25:54,816
It will take a month's
polishing to put it right.
403
00:25:55,032 --> 00:25:56,708
I'm sorry Miss Fiske, I'll put it right.
404
00:25:57,276 --> 00:26:00,394
No Ellen, you shan't. I'll do it.
Let me do it. I'll polish it.
405
00:26:00,610 --> 00:26:02,434
Every day, all through the winter.
406
00:26:02,769 --> 00:26:05,511
Sweet of you, Louisa. But I doubt
you'll be here through the winter.
407
00:26:05,969 --> 00:26:07,630
But we shall. Ellen said so.
408
00:26:07,953 --> 00:26:10,046
You're mistaken, Louisa.
I said nothing of the kind.
409
00:26:10,262 --> 00:26:12,701
But you did. You promised.
- Louisa, will you be quiet.
410
00:26:16,013 --> 00:26:18,157
My heavens. This is the last straw.
411
00:26:18,802 --> 00:26:20,996
You'll drive me as crazy as yourselves.
412
00:26:24,448 --> 00:26:25,406
Oh, Ellen.
413
00:26:27,312 --> 00:26:28,535
Miss Fiske.
414
00:26:29,134 --> 00:26:31,588
I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to say that, but ..
415
00:26:32,377 --> 00:26:34,890
I've had about as much as I can endure.
416
00:26:36,396 --> 00:26:39,219
Emily .. take Louisa upstairs.
417
00:26:39,889 --> 00:26:41,482
Now, stop your crying, Louisa.
418
00:26:42,358 --> 00:26:44,045
There's nothing to cry about.
419
00:26:45,286 --> 00:26:46,141
Do you hear?
420
00:26:46,743 --> 00:26:48,817
Go upstairs. Both of you.
421
00:26:51,981 --> 00:26:53,380
And close the door behind you.
422
00:26:58,271 --> 00:27:00,113
That was a cruel thing to say.
423
00:27:00,788 --> 00:27:01,944
But it's true.
424
00:27:02,778 --> 00:27:06,123
One with her telescope and the other
with her mania for collecting things.
425
00:27:06,703 --> 00:27:08,149
They are insane, both of them.
426
00:27:08,609 --> 00:27:10,479
Please don't use that word again.
427
00:27:11,078 --> 00:27:12,310
Emily was right.
428
00:27:12,956 --> 00:27:14,664
But then people who
have all they want ..
429
00:27:15,013 --> 00:27:17,979
Never understand how much the smallest
things mean to those who haven't.
430
00:27:18,345 --> 00:27:19,046
Really?
431
00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:21,362
I don't think this calls for a sermon.
432
00:27:22,276 --> 00:27:24,365
I've been more than generous
to you and your sisters.
433
00:27:24,581 --> 00:27:26,750
People have always been very
generous to you, Miss Fiske.
434
00:27:26,966 --> 00:27:29,126
My sisters and I have never had
friends to send <i>us</i> money.
435
00:27:29,379 --> 00:27:31,480
That's hardly my fault, is it.
- No.
436
00:27:31,793 --> 00:27:35,189
Don't you feel you have a responsibility
to those less fortunate than you?
437
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,615
I don't know what you're talking about.
438
00:27:38,441 --> 00:27:40,476
Life hasn't been very
kind to us, Miss Fiske.
439
00:27:40,817 --> 00:27:42,798
Every penny we've ever
had, I've had to work for.
440
00:27:43,014 --> 00:27:45,706
Every penny. But at least
we have our self-respect.
441
00:27:47,024 --> 00:27:48,654
How dare you.
442
00:27:49,634 --> 00:27:51,866
How dare you criticise my life.
443
00:27:52,216 --> 00:27:55,606
Do you think I don't envy women who
have respectability? Who have families?
444
00:27:55,822 --> 00:27:58,890
Who aren't just forgotten and pensioned
off when they lose their stock-in-trade.
445
00:27:59,208 --> 00:28:01,196
Then you can't blame me
for fighting for my family.
446
00:28:01,412 --> 00:28:03,466
Very admirable, but it's
your family and not mine.
447
00:28:03,941 --> 00:28:05,065
Let me tell you this.
448
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,935
Your sisters, insane or not,
have overstayed their welcome.
449
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,611
I invite them here for two days
and they've stayed six weeks.
450
00:28:10,827 --> 00:28:13,450
Or perhaps you were planning
to keep them here forever?
451
00:28:14,485 --> 00:28:16,324
Well .. I had thought ..
452
00:28:17,124 --> 00:28:19,622
That I might pay something out
of my wages for their keep.
453
00:28:19,895 --> 00:28:22,261
Ellen, you're a hypocrite.
You're worse, you're a cheat.
454
00:28:22,937 --> 00:28:26,279
You meant to foist your wretched
brood on me and bleed me white.
455
00:28:26,626 --> 00:28:30,814
And when I saw through your scheme, you
had the insolence to turn and abuse me.
456
00:28:31,124 --> 00:28:32,701
But you've chosen the wrong woman.
457
00:28:32,917 --> 00:28:35,255
You get those sisters of yours
out of this house at once.
458
00:28:35,604 --> 00:28:37,644
And take a month's wages
and go with them.
459
00:28:39,743 --> 00:28:40,815
Miss Fiske.
460
00:29:08,710 --> 00:29:11,039
Ellen .. why aren't you in bed?
461
00:29:11,451 --> 00:29:13,179
Why are you prowling about at this hour?
462
00:29:13,761 --> 00:29:16,786
Miss Fiske, may I come in?
I must talk with you, please.
463
00:29:17,357 --> 00:29:18,516
Well, mind your tongue.
464
00:29:18,764 --> 00:29:20,987
We don't want any more of
this afternoon's unpleasantness.
465
00:29:23,612 --> 00:29:24,936
I'm sorry about that.
466
00:29:25,715 --> 00:29:27,833
I was wrong. I shouldn't
have spoken to you as I did.
467
00:29:28,791 --> 00:29:30,462
No .. you shouldn't.
468
00:29:37,617 --> 00:29:38,744
Miss Fiske.
469
00:29:39,702 --> 00:29:42,303
Do you remember the letter that arrived
the day I went away to London?
470
00:29:42,556 --> 00:29:46,058
Yes .. what about it?
- It was from their landlady.
471
00:29:46,613 --> 00:29:47,747
Emily and Louisa.
472
00:29:48,187 --> 00:29:49,552
Had been a little difficult.
473
00:29:49,893 --> 00:29:51,137
She'd sent for the police.
474
00:29:52,329 --> 00:29:54,369
They were going to be
put away in an institution.
475
00:29:54,764 --> 00:29:57,034
The landlady was quite right.
That's where they belong.
476
00:29:57,393 --> 00:30:00,433
But Miss Fiske, you don't
understand. They're my sisters.
477
00:30:00,820 --> 00:30:02,707
You don't know what I've
gone through for them.
478
00:30:02,923 --> 00:30:05,036
They've no-one else in the
world to turn to but me.
479
00:30:05,740 --> 00:30:08,948
I pleaded with the police to release
them. They agreed on one condition.
480
00:30:09,533 --> 00:30:11,458
That they were to remain
in my personal care.
481
00:30:11,740 --> 00:30:13,336
That I was to be responsible for them.
482
00:30:13,787 --> 00:30:15,440
And if there were any more complaints.
483
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,522
That they were to be put away forever.
That's why I can't send them away.
484
00:30:19,825 --> 00:30:21,889
All this devotion is
very admirable, Ellen.
485
00:30:22,285 --> 00:30:24,471
But I fail to see how I can
help in any way at all.
486
00:30:24,801 --> 00:30:26,903
Oh but you can. You can, Miss Fiske.
487
00:30:27,618 --> 00:30:29,823
I thought perhaps they
might use the attic upstairs.
488
00:30:30,162 --> 00:30:32,379
They'll stay there out of the
way where you don't see them.
489
00:30:32,716 --> 00:30:34,876
They could use the back stairs
when they come in and out.
490
00:30:35,129 --> 00:30:37,055
Ellen, what are you talking about?
491
00:30:37,271 --> 00:30:40,267
I promise they'll never come near you.
You'll never know they're in the house.
492
00:30:40,829 --> 00:30:43,797
I'll look after them myself.
I'll cook their meals for them.
493
00:30:44,387 --> 00:30:46,231
I promise they won't
be any more trouble.
494
00:30:46,913 --> 00:30:49,120
Miss Fiske, they must
be with me, they must.
495
00:30:49,439 --> 00:30:51,590
I'll pay for their keep.
I'll work for nothing.
496
00:30:51,834 --> 00:30:54,509
Please .. oh, please Miss Fiske.
497
00:30:54,829 --> 00:30:56,720
Ellen, have you quite
gone out of your mind?
498
00:30:57,064 --> 00:31:00,126
You must be blind if you can't realise
they'd always be getting in my way.
499
00:31:00,342 --> 00:31:02,612
You pack them off tomorrow.
- But, Miss Fiske. Won't ..?
500
00:31:02,828 --> 00:31:04,369
No Ellen, my mind is made up.
501
00:31:05,471 --> 00:31:09,239
If you want to, you can stay here a few
days until you've found a new situation.
502
00:31:10,018 --> 00:31:12,814
Now run along to bed. And make
certain they leave tomorrow.
503
00:31:14,132 --> 00:31:16,592
You wouldn't want me to be sending
for the police, would you?
504
00:31:18,682 --> 00:31:20,329
Goodnight Ellen. I'm tired.
505
00:31:24,230 --> 00:31:25,186
Goodnight.
506
00:31:48,528 --> 00:31:50,908
But you told her you were
going to send us away.
507
00:31:52,592 --> 00:31:54,344
I'm not going to send you away.
508
00:31:54,732 --> 00:31:56,620
We heard you. We were listening.
509
00:31:57,784 --> 00:31:59,386
Isn't she terrible, Ellen?
510
00:32:00,207 --> 00:32:01,536
She's wicked.
511
00:32:03,006 --> 00:32:04,907
I'm not going to send you away.
512
00:32:06,836 --> 00:32:07,678
Never.
513
00:32:08,554 --> 00:32:11,269
If you're not sending us away,
what are you going to do?
514
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,293
I don't know.
515
00:32:16,674 --> 00:32:17,831
I must think.
516
00:32:30,078 --> 00:32:32,550
I've always wanted
to explore an old castle.
517
00:32:32,971 --> 00:32:35,857
Will it have a dungeon do you think?
- They all have dungeons.
518
00:32:36,191 --> 00:32:36,978
With bats.
519
00:32:37,415 --> 00:32:39,138
No, dear. Bats are in belfries.
520
00:32:39,459 --> 00:32:43,180
There's sure to be secret passageways
and places where they'd hide things.
521
00:32:45,198 --> 00:32:46,346
Like that.
522
00:32:54,259 --> 00:32:58,372
Yes .. I'm sure Miss Fiske has lots
of exciting things hidden in there.
523
00:32:58,588 --> 00:33:00,212
Her jewels, I'm sure.
524
00:33:01,019 --> 00:33:04,181
I've looked in all her boxes and
haven't been able to find them.
525
00:33:04,718 --> 00:33:07,167
Are you both ready?
- Oh yes. Quite.
526
00:33:07,404 --> 00:33:10,004
I managed to pack all
the lunch into one bag.
527
00:33:10,660 --> 00:33:11,630
Mine.
528
00:33:12,914 --> 00:33:15,600
Come here and sit down.
I want to talk to you both.
529
00:33:25,193 --> 00:33:25,808
Now.
530
00:33:26,107 --> 00:33:28,868
I haven't told you the real reason why
you're being sent away for a whole day.
531
00:33:29,589 --> 00:33:32,633
The truth is I want to be entirely
alone with Miss Fiske for a few hours.
532
00:33:32,849 --> 00:33:34,817
Is that why you got rid of Lucy too?
533
00:33:35,131 --> 00:33:37,177
I didn't get rid of Lucy, Emily.
She had a toothache.
534
00:33:37,393 --> 00:33:40,293
Oh Ellen dear, you know that's
not true. She didn't want to go at all.
535
00:33:40,754 --> 00:33:42,833
I said she had a toothache, Louisa.
536
00:33:44,698 --> 00:33:45,628
Now listen.
537
00:33:46,220 --> 00:33:49,408
Last night, while you were both asleep,
I had a long talk with Miss Fiske.
538
00:33:50,131 --> 00:33:52,867
She's tired of the marshes
and wants to travel for a bit.
539
00:33:53,530 --> 00:33:55,633
I've persuaded her to
sell this house to me.
540
00:33:55,849 --> 00:33:58,210
Not really, Ellen?
- We haven't discussed price yet.
541
00:33:58,976 --> 00:34:02,422
That's why I must be alone with her, so
we can talk with nothing to distract us.
542
00:34:02,694 --> 00:34:05,355
She may want more than
you're prepared to pay.
543
00:34:07,101 --> 00:34:09,142
I'm prepared to pay
quite a big price, Emily.
544
00:34:09,569 --> 00:34:11,442
Oh, lovely, lovely, lovely.
545
00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:14,491
Oh Emily, aren't you excited?
- Louisa, be quiet.
546
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:17,415
Now, there's one more thing.
547
00:34:18,401 --> 00:34:19,716
The most important.
548
00:34:35,231 --> 00:34:36,722
You see this bible, both of you?
549
00:34:37,587 --> 00:34:39,899
I want you to swear on it.
By father's memory.
550
00:34:40,590 --> 00:34:43,550
That you'll never repeat a word of my
buying this house as long as you live.
551
00:34:45,940 --> 00:34:46,963
What do I say?
552
00:34:47,581 --> 00:34:48,963
Just say 'I swear'.
553
00:34:49,670 --> 00:34:51,113
Oh .. I swear.
554
00:34:51,554 --> 00:34:52,484
You too, Emily.
555
00:34:52,787 --> 00:34:54,831
I won't swear on the bible. It's wicked.
556
00:34:55,435 --> 00:34:56,571
If you don't Emily ..
557
00:34:56,869 --> 00:34:59,143
I shan't buy the house and I'll
send you both back to London.
558
00:34:59,426 --> 00:35:01,058
Oh Emily, be sensible.
559
00:35:01,660 --> 00:35:04,984
I don't like being made
to do things .. I promise.
560
00:35:05,604 --> 00:35:06,759
Now, remember.
561
00:35:07,527 --> 00:35:09,016
That's a sacred oath.
562
00:35:15,968 --> 00:35:18,162
Here's Bates. Hurry now.
There's no time to waste.
563

Drive slowly Bates.
Please don't let them get cold.

You can take your time. I shan't be
expecting you back before dusk.

Very good, ma'am.

Goodbye Ellen. I wish you could come.
- I wish you were coming too.

- Goodbye.

Have a good time.
- Thank you.

I'm out of practice.

To dear Louisa and dear Emily.

May we never meet again.

May we come in?
- Yes.
576
00:39:25,330 --> 00:39:28,536
I'd like to speak to Miss Ellen.
Unless Miss Fiske is back?
577
00:39:29,038 --> 00:39:32,096
No, she's still away. I'll fetch Ellen.
578
00:39:34,682 --> 00:39:36,292
We're making jam.
579

Good evening.

00:39:46,963 --> 00:39:48,418
It isn't a very good one, is it?

No, as a matter of fact it's not.
Cats and dogs.

Good evening, Sisters.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

But we're in the middle of
putting up our quince jam.
585
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,087
Please don't apologise. I'm afraid
we've come on a begging errand.
586
00:40:04,550 --> 00:40:06,781
Our supplier of oil hasn't
arrived from Rochester.
587
00:40:07,225 --> 00:40:10,245
And the Reverend Mother wondered
if we might borrow a can until Sunday.

Will you run out to the shed
and bring in a can of paraffin.

Yes, Miss Ellen.

about with the storm and all?

- Listen, Lucky.

- No, she's away.

- Does she know I've been here before?

No. Mistress said not to say.
- Good. Get on with your work.

I'm very particular who I know.
607

For a moment, when I saw the candles
burning, I thought Miss Fiske was back.

We were so surprised
to learn she'd gone.

She hadn't mentioned she was
planning a journey anywhere.

No. It was quite unexpected.

is the best on the marshes.
689
00:46:30,542 --> 00:46:33,481
I say auntie, is this all yours?
- No, of course not.
690
00:46:34,251 --> 00:46:36,166
It belongs to the woman
I work for. Miss Fiske.
691
00:46:37,011 --> 00:46:39,510
Where is she, might I ask?
- Away.
692
00:46:41,683 --> 00:46:44,148
Five years, auntie old girl.
- What of it?
693
00:46:44,453 --> 00:46:46,646
You've changed.
- You've not.
694
00:46:47,504 --> 00:46:50,373
The same big blue eyes though.
You're still Lady touch-me-not.
695
00:46:50,847 --> 00:46:53,265
Let go of me. I'm in no
mood for your foolishness.
696
00:46:54,208 --> 00:46:55,739
The way you seem to be all keyed up.
697
00:46:55,999 --> 00:46:58,072
A little of my foolishness
just might do you no harm.
698
00:47:01,721 --> 00:47:02,961
Here's your food, Albert.
699
00:47:04,313 --> 00:47:07,205
Run up to bed, both of you.
I want to talk with Albert.
700
00:47:07,421 --> 00:47:10,580
But we don't want to go to bed.
- No, we want to stay to talk to Albert.
701
00:47:10,905 --> 00:47:13,857
Go on, do as aunt Ellen says. Toddle off
to bye-byes like good little girls.
702
00:47:14,125 --> 00:47:16,821
Here, wait. Why don't you wet your
whistles. It will make you sleep tight.
703
00:47:17,178 --> 00:47:19,055
Sleep tight. Albert, you are silly.
704
00:47:19,553 --> 00:47:22,004
I don't think they'd better, Albert.
- What's the harm?
705
00:47:22,483 --> 00:47:24,708
You don't have a long-lost
nephew every night of the week.
706
00:47:25,121 --> 00:47:26,369
Fetch some glasses, Emily.
707
00:47:26,585 --> 00:47:29,797
Very well, but not too much now.
- Just a tiny thimbleful for me, Albert.
708
00:47:31,252 --> 00:47:32,688
How about you, aunt Ellen?
709
00:47:33,327 --> 00:47:34,716
Nothing for me, thank you.
710
00:47:37,757 --> 00:47:40,199
Now, my Siamese twins.
What about a toast, eh?
711
00:47:40,523 --> 00:47:41,905
I don't know any.
712
00:47:42,140 --> 00:47:44,008
In that case, here's to absent friends.
713
00:47:44,328 --> 00:47:45,464
Absent friends.
714
00:47:46,046 --> 00:47:48,543
Ellen, I suppose we
should think of Miss Fiske.
715
00:48:01,321 --> 00:48:03,604
Who put out those candles?
- What candles?
716
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,445
Oh those.
- It must have been the wind.
717
00:48:10,055 --> 00:48:11,998
Goodnight, Albert.
- Goodnight my lady.
718
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,204
Goodnight, Albert.
- Goodnight.
719
00:48:21,642 --> 00:48:23,379
It wasn't the wind, Ellen.
720
00:48:38,904 --> 00:48:41,109
I say auntie, you've not
turned Roman have you?
721
00:48:41,466 --> 00:48:42,763
I do this for a friend.
722
00:48:48,243 --> 00:48:49,129
Now, Albert.
723
00:48:49,869 --> 00:48:52,134
Let's stop all this 'auntie' nonsense
and get down to cases.
724
00:48:52,862 --> 00:48:54,748
Why have you come here
and what do you want?
725
00:48:55,073 --> 00:48:56,918
Well auntie .. I mean, Ellen.
726
00:48:57,692 --> 00:49:02,208
To cut it fine, I'm taking a compulsory
holiday from my bank over in Gravesend.
727
00:49:02,602 --> 00:49:05,107
In other words, you've lost your job.
- I've given it up.
728
00:49:05,738 --> 00:49:07,522
You haven't done anything
wrong, have you?
729
00:49:09,237 --> 00:49:11,605
I sort-of helped myself to a
little salary I wasn't entitled to.
730
00:49:12,885 --> 00:49:14,393
You mean, you've stolen money.
731
00:49:16,415 --> 00:49:19,181
This is rattling good brandy.
- Answer me, Albert.
732
00:49:21,270 --> 00:49:23,848
You've got it.
- How much?
733
00:49:24,594 --> 00:49:27,402
A small matter of a hundred pounds.
- I'll see.
734
00:49:30,342 --> 00:49:33,271
I suppose you want me to give you the
hundred pounds so you can put it back?
735
00:49:33,515 --> 00:49:36,477
I'm afraid it's too late for that.
They found out, the police.
736
00:49:37,180 --> 00:49:38,164
The police?
737
00:49:38,389 --> 00:49:42,016
A friend passed me the tip they were
coming. So I .. I took French leave.
738
00:49:42,455 --> 00:49:44,956
But .. they'll follow you.
They'll come here.
739
00:49:46,079 --> 00:49:49,774
Don't worry .. no-one knows I've got
relations out here on the marshes.
740
00:49:51,122 --> 00:49:52,699
I'll be safe here for a lifetime.
741
00:49:53,159 --> 00:49:55,319
You're certainly not going
to stay here for a lifetime.
742
00:49:55,769 --> 00:49:57,815
Surely you don't mind me
staying for a while, do you?
743
00:49:58,340 --> 00:50:00,745
Until it all blows over.
- Then what do you propose to do?
744
00:50:01,094 --> 00:50:03,725
Clear out of the country.
America, Australia. Any old where.
745
00:50:04,230 --> 00:50:06,552
I'm .. counting on you to help me.
746
00:50:06,868 --> 00:50:08,188
I need money for my passage.
747
00:50:08,631 --> 00:50:09,630
I'm .. I'm stony.
748
00:50:11,353 --> 00:50:13,246
It won't cost much. Steerage.
749
00:50:13,691 --> 00:50:15,882
I don't see why I should concern
myself with your affairs.
750
00:50:16,414 --> 00:50:17,870
I'll land in prison if you don't.
751
00:50:19,541 --> 00:50:22,420
You're not the sort to turn anybody down
who's in trouble and needed your help.
752
00:50:23,210 --> 00:50:24,969
You wouldn't fail your
own flesh and blood.
753
00:50:25,185 --> 00:50:27,020
I'm no flesh and blood of yours, Albert.
754
00:50:27,468 --> 00:50:29,199
Won't you give me a
chance to start again?
755
00:50:29,415 --> 00:50:30,734
I promise. Cross my heart.
756
00:50:31,090 --> 00:50:33,457
I'll never do anything wrong
again for the rest of my natural.
757
00:50:33,673 --> 00:50:35,143
Let me go.
758
00:50:41,301 --> 00:50:44,030
Very well. I'll do it.
- Bless you, Ellen.
759
00:50:44,415 --> 00:50:46,973
You're a daisy, you are.
- We'll talk about it in the morning.
760
00:50:47,820 --> 00:50:50,180
You can sleep on the sofa tonight.
- I don't mind where I sleep.
761
00:50:50,396 --> 00:50:51,419
But mind you ..
762
00:50:51,635 --> 00:50:54,218
You can only stay until I've
arranged your passage on the boat.
763
00:50:54,434 --> 00:50:57,466
Anything you say,
Ellen old girl .. what's that?
764
00:50:57,983 --> 00:50:59,945
That's just the maid.
She's been out on an errand.
765
00:51:01,006 --> 00:51:02,550
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss?
766
00:51:04,518 --> 00:51:06,220
They'll be a gentleman
staying the night.
767
00:51:06,639 --> 00:51:07,819
A gentleman staying?
768
00:51:08,099 --> 00:51:09,776
A relation. He'll sleep in here.
769
00:51:10,033 --> 00:51:12,679
Now go to your room and change your
wet clothes before you start sneezing.
770
00:51:12,895 --> 00:51:15,090
Yes, Miss .. goodnight.
- Goodnight.
771
00:51:15,306 --> 00:51:16,096
Goodnight.
772
00:51:16,620 --> 00:51:17,557
'Lucy', is it?
773
00:51:19,035 --> 00:51:20,472
Yes .. Lucy.
774
00:51:23,706 --> 00:51:25,687
I fancy that's all for
tonight, aunt Ellen.
775
00:51:26,138 --> 00:51:29,180
I'll just have a weed before
I turn in. The last of the day.
776
00:51:30,306 --> 00:51:32,729
You seem to be taking this
all very lightly, Albert.
777
00:51:33,490 --> 00:51:35,166
You have told me the worst, haven't you?
778
00:51:35,601 --> 00:51:38,110
I mean, there isn't anything else?
- What else?
779
00:51:40,653 --> 00:51:42,212
There are worse things than stealing.
780
00:51:42,987 --> 00:51:43,994
For instance?
781
00:51:45,828 --> 00:51:47,359
No, there's no blood on my hands.
782
00:51:47,743 --> 00:51:49,703
Putting people out calls
for <i>real </i>nerve, you know.
783
00:51:54,270 --> 00:51:55,303
Yes.
784
00:51:59,547 --> 00:52:01,321
Goodnight, Albert.
- Nighty night.
785
00:53:12,967 --> 00:53:15,145
Did you enjoy the sermon, Mr Bates?
786
00:53:15,603 --> 00:53:16,818
Mighty powerful, Miss.
787
00:53:17,293 --> 00:53:18,797
Yes. It was, wasn't it.
788
00:53:20,284 --> 00:53:22,109
But there was a lot I didn't understand.
789
00:53:23,490 --> 00:53:24,866
The part that went ..
790
00:53:25,639 --> 00:53:26,568
How was it?
791
00:53:27,496 --> 00:53:29,004
The wicked flee.
792
00:53:30,087 --> 00:53:32,717
When no man .. pursueth.
793
00:53:34,739 --> 00:53:36,575
But .. but ..
794
00:53:38,561 --> 00:53:41,233
The righteous are as bold as a lion.
795
00:54:08,319 --> 00:54:09,297
Well.
796
00:54:10,743 --> 00:54:12,479
What do you think you're doing?
797
00:54:13,690 --> 00:54:16,840
I fooled around with this padlock
last night and it .. came off.
798
00:54:17,592 --> 00:54:18,689
You shouldn't have.
799
00:54:19,344 --> 00:54:21,297
That's where Miss Fiske
keeps her valuables.
800
00:54:21,551 --> 00:54:23,794
How does she get at them?
With a pickaxe? Look.
801
00:54:25,898 --> 00:54:28,667
Well I never. All bricked up.
802
00:54:29,531 --> 00:54:31,248
I wonder why that was done.
803
00:54:31,530 --> 00:54:33,342
It wasn't that way the
last time I was here.
804
00:54:33,821 --> 00:54:35,868
So you've had your nose
in there before, have you?
805
00:54:36,948 --> 00:54:39,174
Funny what nasty thoughts
people have sometimes, isn't it.
806
00:54:39,390 --> 00:54:41,597
Funny how they're right
sometimes, isn't it.
807
00:54:59,037 --> 00:55:01,443
I wonder why anyone would want
to brick up a place like that?
808
00:55:02,492 --> 00:55:05,171
Maybe Miss Fiske put her jewels
in there before she went away.
809
00:55:05,807 --> 00:55:08,881
You know .. she's not one to take
any chances leaving them about.
810
00:55:09,234 --> 00:55:10,530
Even with your aunt Ellen.
811
00:55:12,817 --> 00:55:15,523
If there are any sparkles in there,
I wouldn't mind having a peep at them.
812
00:55:15,748 --> 00:55:18,262
I'm sure you wouldn't.
- And neither would you, I dare say.
813
00:55:19,833 --> 00:55:24,037
In fact .. I'm sure you'd like the feel
of some around your swan-like neck.
814
00:55:26,610 --> 00:55:28,629
A pretty pink ear like
that calls for diamonds.
815
00:55:29,014 --> 00:55:31,473
A wandering hand like yours
calls for a slap in the face.
816
00:55:31,821 --> 00:55:33,675
It's wicked to slap a
man's face on a Sunday.
817
00:55:33,981 --> 00:55:35,745
The better the day, the better the deed.
818
00:55:36,179 --> 00:55:37,595
That leaves my conscience clear.
819
00:55:42,243 --> 00:55:43,680
I'll scream.
820
00:55:45,098 --> 00:55:46,140
What's that?
821
00:55:52,703 --> 00:55:55,550
What do you think I'm made of?
- Sugar and spice.
822
00:55:56,874 --> 00:55:58,131
And everything nice.
823
00:56:01,849 --> 00:56:03,164
Blimey, you're strong.
824
00:56:06,001 --> 00:56:07,586
It's a wig. Whose is it?
825
00:56:08,854 --> 00:56:10,150
It is Miss Fiske's.
826
00:56:10,705 --> 00:56:12,391
Oh, it's her best one.
827
00:56:13,295 --> 00:56:15,239
She's as bald as a coot.
- Ah.
828
00:56:15,455 --> 00:56:17,042
A wonder she didn't take it with her.
829
00:56:18,291 --> 00:56:19,267
Hello.
830
00:56:19,605 --> 00:56:22,290
Ah, she left a lot of
her fancy dresses too.
831
00:56:23,063 --> 00:56:24,930
Perhaps she'll buy some
new ones up in London?
832
00:56:25,392 --> 00:56:26,938
These are new. Most of them.
833
00:56:27,918 --> 00:56:30,059
You'd better put that back up.
- Alright.
834
00:56:30,285 --> 00:56:31,783
Get up on this chair.
835
00:56:39,798 --> 00:56:41,554
You know, it <i>is</i> odd
she only took one wig.
836
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:45,357
On a trip, anything might happen.
A fire or a gust of wind.
837
00:56:45,751 --> 00:56:46,409
Oh.
838
00:56:47,720 --> 00:56:49,195
Here's Emily coming up the path.
839
00:56:50,109 --> 00:56:51,329
You'd better be off.
840
00:56:57,184 --> 00:56:58,794
Hello my old cup of tea.
841
00:57:00,310 --> 00:57:02,634
What are you doing with those
bull-rushes? Looking for Moses?
842
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,371
You're making fun of me .. naughty boy.
843
00:57:28,649 --> 00:57:31,405
Hello Ducky .. I'm glad you're
back before the others.
844
00:57:31,964 --> 00:57:34,668
It isn't often I have the chance of
a tête-à-tête with the family's fairest.
845
00:57:34,884 --> 00:57:36,672
You're never serious
about anything, Albert.
846
00:57:36,888 --> 00:57:38,846
I was never more serious in my life.
847
00:57:40,212 --> 00:57:42,518
The storm did an enormous
amount of damage.
848
00:57:42,869 --> 00:57:45,494
Roads into Rochester and Gravesend
were completely flooded.
849
00:57:46,258 --> 00:57:48,836
The Postman told me.
- I hope they stay that way.
850
00:57:50,098 --> 00:57:51,558
Allow me, Empress.
851
00:57:52,362 --> 00:57:54,681
There's only one letter today.
It's for Miss Fiske.
852
00:57:55,047 --> 00:57:55,755
Is it?
853
00:58:01,577 --> 00:58:03,226
It's a cosy nest you got here.
854
00:58:03,605 --> 00:58:05,661
What's will happen to you
when Miss Fiske gets back?
855
00:58:05,896 --> 00:58:07,596
Will she let you stay on, do you think?
856
00:58:11,455 --> 00:58:12,701
She isn't coming back.
857
00:58:13,532 --> 00:58:14,548
Why not?
858
00:58:15,342 --> 00:58:16,575
Ellen's bought the house.
859
00:58:19,252 --> 00:58:19,924
Go on.
860
00:58:20,140 --> 00:58:21,241
Yes. It's quite true.
861
00:58:22,049 --> 00:58:23,150
It's a secret though.
862
00:58:23,366 --> 00:58:26,001
Ellen made us swear on the bible
that we wouldn't tell anyone.
863
00:58:26,218 --> 00:58:28,300
But you are one of the family.
So it's alright.
864
00:58:29,873 --> 00:58:31,661
Why should she want
to keep it a secret, eh?
865
00:58:31,877 --> 00:58:33,636
I don't know.
It was done in a great hurry.
866
00:58:33,873 --> 00:58:35,534
Louisa and I were sent off to Rochester.
867
00:58:35,750 --> 00:58:38,669
Then when we came back that night,
Miss Fiske was gone and it was all over.
868
00:58:40,902 --> 00:58:42,862
You won't tell Ellen I told
you, will you, Albert?
869
00:58:43,234 --> 00:58:43,975
No.
870
00:58:45,212 --> 00:58:47,000
We'll make that our
little secret, shall we?
871
00:58:47,335 --> 00:58:48,064
Alright.
872
00:58:50,086 --> 00:58:52,513
It will be rather fun.
Having a secret from Ellen.
873
00:58:53,143 --> 00:58:55,628
She thinks she's the clever one.
But she isn't.
874
00:58:57,109 --> 00:58:57,924
Not always.
875
00:58:59,816 --> 00:59:00,402
No.
876
00:59:01,225 --> 00:59:02,040
Not always.
877
00:59:17,517 --> 00:59:19,294
Albert.
- What?
878
00:59:25,153 --> 00:59:26,418
Good morning.
879
00:59:28,974 --> 00:59:30,034
May we come in?
880
00:59:30,250 --> 00:59:32,261
Who's that?
- A couple of nuns from The Priory.
881
00:59:33,048 --> 00:59:36,099
You talk to them, Albert.
I've got to tidy up the orchard.
882
00:59:47,032 --> 00:59:51,087
Oh .. I didn't know there was
a young man staying here.
883
00:59:51,632 --> 00:59:52,844
Is Miss Ellen about?
884
00:59:53,060 --> 00:59:55,956
Sorry. She's gone over to the church at
Cawley. I'm her nephew, can I help?
885
00:59:56,487 --> 01:00:00,357
We came to return this. She lent us
a little oil last night. We ran short.
886
01:00:00,792 --> 01:00:02,060
Thanks.
- Yes, and this.
887
01:00:02,634 --> 01:00:04,846
The rent for the little field.
Your aunt will understand.
888
01:00:05,106 --> 01:00:06,179
I'll give it to her.
889
01:00:06,395 --> 01:00:08,788
We are so looking forward
to Miss Fiske's return.
890
01:00:09,371 --> 01:00:10,864
She's a dear friend of ours.
891
01:00:11,239 --> 01:00:14,646
Oh .. have you .. heard from her lately?
892
01:00:15,031 --> 01:00:16,218
No, not a word.
893
01:00:16,752 --> 01:00:19,335
I think the Reverend Mother is
a trifle hurt she hasn't written.
894
01:00:19,678 --> 01:00:22,281
In fact, she didn't even tell
us she was going away.
895
01:00:22,777 --> 01:00:25,295
Not very chummy, was it.
- No, it wasn't.
896
01:00:26,837 --> 01:00:28,232
Good morning.
- Good morning.
897
01:01:05,242 --> 01:01:07,671
Now what are you up to?
- Fetch me a knife, Ducky.
898
01:01:15,499 --> 01:01:17,170
What's that?
- A letter for Miss Fiske.
899
01:01:17,511 --> 01:01:19,943
You're not going to open it?
- No. Wouldn't think of it.
900
01:01:24,242 --> 01:01:25,431
What's it say?
901
01:01:26,201 --> 01:01:28,502
'Dear Madam.
Regarding your instructions ..'
902
01:01:28,718 --> 01:01:31,591
'To forward the amount of the
enclosed cheque in 5-pound notes'.
903
01:01:32,239 --> 01:01:36,889
'Your signature appears to differ from
that with which we are acquainted'.
904
01:01:38,793 --> 01:01:41,444
'We should be obliged if you
could kindly confirm same ..'
905
01:01:41,845 --> 01:01:44,354
'By signing it afresh.
In your usual manner'.
906
01:01:48,582 --> 01:01:49,634
Fifty pounds.
907
01:01:50,633 --> 01:01:51,591
Notice the date.
908
01:01:52,218 --> 01:01:53,703
'October 14th'.
909
01:01:54,794 --> 01:01:57,258
That's three days ago.
She's been gone longer than that.
910
01:01:57,803 --> 01:01:59,484
Since the beginning of September.
911
01:02:00,292 --> 01:02:02,329
She probably made it
out from wherever she is.
912
01:02:02,949 --> 01:02:04,986
Yes, she could have. Hey, wait a minute.
913
01:02:06,442 --> 01:02:08,765
In that case, why did they
send the reply to her here?
914
01:02:10,183 --> 01:02:11,666
You see who it's made payable to?
915
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:14,680
Ellen Creed.
916
01:02:15,506 --> 01:02:17,785
What of it? I expect it's
the housekeeping money.
917
01:02:18,380 --> 01:02:21,488
Maybe. Where's the glue-pot?
- Over there.
918
01:02:21,704 --> 01:02:23,015
Get it for me.
919
01:02:28,096 --> 01:02:30,146
Dip your finger in it.
- I should say not.
920
01:02:30,516 --> 01:02:31,817
I've had no hand in this.
921
01:02:33,119 --> 01:02:33,963
Haven't you?
922
01:02:35,383 --> 01:02:37,379
You are a filthy pig.
- Go on. Seal it up.
923
01:02:38,971 --> 01:02:39,930
Go on.
924
01:02:44,402 --> 01:02:46,276
Don't forget.
You're in this as deep as me now.
925
01:02:46,550 --> 01:02:48,124
I wish you'd never come here.
926
01:02:48,888 --> 01:02:51,488
I don't know what comes over
me when you're around.
927
01:02:52,752 --> 01:02:54,483
You won't give me away
to Ellen, will you?
928
01:02:54,699 --> 01:02:56,230
I won't if you keep your mouth shut.
929
01:03:03,357 --> 01:03:06,241
Here come the performing seals.
Not a word, mind you.
930
01:03:17,604 --> 01:03:18,397
Albert.
931
01:03:18,622 --> 01:03:20,252
Hello, aunts .. had a nice pray?
932
01:03:20,492 --> 01:03:22,114
You should have been at church, Albert.
933
01:03:22,576 --> 01:03:24,609
The minister told us all about Hell.
934
01:03:25,016 --> 01:03:27,336
You'd have enjoyed the
bit about the lost souls ..
935
01:03:27,682 --> 01:03:29,251
Sizzling in the bottomless pit.
936
01:03:29,554 --> 01:03:31,970
Would I now? Sounds frightening.
937
01:03:32,540 --> 01:03:34,859
Ellen .. where is Hell?
938
01:03:37,451 --> 01:03:39,443
Hell is like the Kingdom of Heaven.
939
01:03:41,672 --> 01:03:42,552
It is within.
940
01:03:43,037 --> 01:03:43,995
That reminds me.
941
01:03:44,310 --> 01:03:45,926
One of your religious friends was here.
942
01:03:46,258 --> 01:03:49,076
She left you this.
It's the rent for some field or other.
943
01:03:50,580 --> 01:03:52,568
She didn't see you, did she?
- I couldn't avoid it.
944
01:03:52,784 --> 01:03:54,258
That was Sister Theresa.
945
01:03:55,171 --> 01:03:59,138
She's Miss Fiske's friend. She doesn't
like us any more than Miss Fiske did.
946
01:03:59,974 --> 01:04:01,311
Didn't Miss Fiske like you?
947
01:04:01,981 --> 01:04:03,098
She was horrid to us.
948
01:04:03,344 --> 01:04:05,103
Louisa, run upstairs
and change your dress.
949
01:04:05,417 --> 01:04:07,148
You can't sit around
in your best all day.
950
01:04:07,445 --> 01:04:08,575
No. I shan't, shall I.
951
01:04:09,221 --> 01:04:10,348
No. Of course not.
952
01:04:12,538 --> 01:04:13,819
Albert.
- Huh?
953
01:04:14,096 --> 01:04:16,776
I don't want you to mention Miss Fiske
again in front of my sisters.
954
01:04:17,336 --> 01:04:18,819
They quarrelled with her.
955
01:04:19,382 --> 01:04:21,392
And it upsets them very
much to talk about her.
956
01:04:22,012 --> 01:04:23,364
Sorry. Nobody told me.
957
01:04:24,555 --> 01:04:26,055
What did you quarrel about?
958
01:04:26,666 --> 01:04:28,328
I didn't say I quarrelled with her.
959
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,220
Would she by any chance be the friend
you lit those candles for last night?
960
01:04:37,276 --> 01:04:38,187
Yes.
961
01:04:39,145 --> 01:04:40,469
When did she die?
962
01:04:42,779 --> 01:04:43,699
Die?
963
01:04:44,779 --> 01:04:46,516
Who said anything about her being dead?
964
01:04:47,042 --> 01:04:50,858
I just assumed she was.
You don't light candles for the living.
965
01:04:51,493 --> 01:04:53,352
Do you?
- I don't know.
966
01:04:54,178 --> 01:04:55,831
I just thought they stood for prayer.
967
01:04:56,685 --> 01:04:58,451
I must find Emily.
- By the way.
968
01:04:58,779 --> 01:05:00,614
The postman gave her
a letter for Miss Fiske.
969
01:05:00,911 --> 01:05:02,450
From her bank, I believe.
970
01:05:03,202 --> 01:05:04,375
Give it to me.
971
01:05:14,895 --> 01:05:16,951
I'm managing all her
affairs while she's away.
972
01:05:29,109 --> 01:05:31,579
Anything important?
- Yes, rather.
973
01:05:32,625 --> 01:05:34,512
I must get an answer
in the post immediately.
974
01:05:39,075 --> 01:05:40,763
A stylish looking piano you've got here.
975
01:05:41,029 --> 01:05:43,016
Don't distract me, Albert.
I must concentrate.
976
01:05:43,301 --> 01:05:45,026
I'm sorry. Don't mind me, auntie.
977
01:05:59,907 --> 01:06:01,335
I say, you are up to date.
978
01:06:02,020 --> 01:06:04,648
I didn't expect to find a copy of
The Mikado way out here on the marshes.
979
01:06:10,467 --> 01:06:12,747
[ Whistling song: Tit-Willow ]
980
01:06:20,224 --> 01:06:21,491
Don't do that.
981
01:06:22,064 --> 01:06:24,252
I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to distract you.
982
01:06:25,378 --> 01:06:27,960
It's just I happen to dislike that
particular tune. That's all.
983
01:06:28,261 --> 01:06:29,932
It's a bit on the morbid side.
984
01:06:35,775 --> 01:06:37,740
Miss Ellen, how soon
will you want dinner?
985
01:06:38,044 --> 01:06:39,402
In a quarter of an hour, Lucy.
986
01:06:39,624 --> 01:06:41,383
I'll just post this
letter at the crossing.
987
01:06:41,801 --> 01:06:42,788
Let me go, Ellen.
988
01:06:43,019 --> 01:06:44,372
I can do with a sniff of air.
989
01:06:44,588 --> 01:06:46,710
No thank you.
I prefer to attend to this myself.
990
01:07:20,938 --> 01:07:22,723
What are you up to now?
991
01:07:23,124 --> 01:07:24,998
She just wrote a reply to
the letter we opened.
992
01:07:25,426 --> 01:07:27,560
I thought it would be interesting
to see what she says.
993
01:07:28,703 --> 01:07:29,518
'Dear sir'.
994
01:07:30,198 --> 01:07:30,956
'Cheque'.
995
01:07:31,301 --> 01:07:32,168
Something.
996
01:07:32,562 --> 01:07:33,406
'Incorrect'.
997
01:07:34,231 --> 01:07:35,018
Something.
998
01:07:35,529 --> 01:07:36,258
'Owing'.
999
01:07:36,987 --> 01:07:38,671
Something, something.
1000
01:07:39,444 --> 01:07:40,350
'Wrist'.
1001
01:07:41,875 --> 01:07:43,870
What does that word
look like to you? See.
1002
01:07:44,636 --> 01:07:47,233
'S .. p .. r ..'
1003
01:07:47,779 --> 01:07:48,718
S .. p .. r.
1004
01:07:49,226 --> 01:07:50,685
'Sprained'. That's it.
1005
01:07:51,092 --> 01:07:52,394
'Owing to a sprained wrist'.
1006
01:07:53,878 --> 01:07:54,922
Something. 'Yours'.
1007
01:07:55,374 --> 01:07:56,225
'Leonora'.
1008
01:07:57,357 --> 01:07:58,758
'Leonora Fiske'.
1009
01:08:01,625 --> 01:08:03,040
She signed it 'Leonora Fiske'.
1010
01:08:03,525 --> 01:08:04,684
What's it mean, Albert?
1011
01:08:05,493 --> 01:08:06,665
What do you think?
1012
01:08:07,266 --> 01:08:09,506
It looks as if she's pretending
to be Miss Fiske.
1013
01:08:10,308 --> 01:08:12,239
Getting money on the strength of it.
- Brilliant.
1014
01:08:12,455 --> 01:08:13,845
If that's true, she's a thief.
1015
01:08:14,342 --> 01:08:15,535
Like you.
- Shut up.
1016
01:08:18,319 --> 01:08:20,417
What will happen when
Miss Fiske comes back?
1017
01:08:23,624 --> 01:08:25,061
Suppose she isn't coming back?
1018
01:08:26,187 --> 01:08:29,149
Suppose she's died somewhere.
And Ellen is the only one who knows.
1019
01:08:29,485 --> 01:08:31,229
You can't die and only
one person know it.
1020
01:08:31,445 --> 01:08:32,744
Can't you? I'm not so sure.
1021
01:08:34,460 --> 01:08:35,600
One thing I do know.
1022
01:08:35,906 --> 01:08:38,896
She'd never risk it unless she knew
Miss Fiske was out of the way for good.
1023
01:08:39,955 --> 01:08:43,091
Alright .. assume she's dead.
Aunt Ellen is having the funds.
1024
01:08:43,645 --> 01:08:45,721
It might be years before
anybody would find out.
1025
01:08:48,011 --> 01:08:49,815
Why should she reap all the benefit?
1026
01:08:55,455 --> 01:08:57,100
There may be some pickings in it for us.
1027
01:08:57,481 --> 01:08:59,841
Would you like to see a bit of the
world? Have some fun with me?
1028
01:09:00,057 --> 01:09:01,907
You'd tempt Old Nick
himself, wouldn't you?
1029
01:09:02,123 --> 01:09:03,540
You've got to help me get proof.
1030
01:09:03,775 --> 01:09:05,763
I don't want to do anything
mean or underhanded.
1031
01:09:06,113 --> 01:09:09,069
Would I ask you to? Use your eyes
and keep your ears open. That's all.
1032
01:09:09,863 --> 01:09:10,821
What do you say?
1033
01:09:11,696 --> 01:09:12,720
I don't know.
1034
01:09:12,936 --> 01:09:14,752
Perhaps this will help
you make up your mind.
1035
01:09:20,189 --> 01:09:22,321
Well?
- I'll help you, Albert.
1036
01:09:23,541 --> 01:09:25,685
Here she comes. Look sharp now.
Back to the kitchen.
1037
01:10:47,655 --> 01:10:48,984
She's coming.
1038
01:10:49,341 --> 01:10:51,214
Blimey. You almost made
me frightened myself.
1039
01:10:51,698 --> 01:10:53,567
Hurry up, hurry up.
- Alright. Shut up.
1040
01:10:57,097 --> 01:10:59,119
Hey, go in the kitchen
and make some tea.
1041
01:11:00,769 --> 01:11:03,053
Take this with you. Go on, hurry.
1042
01:11:08,868 --> 01:11:10,408
Goodnight, Bates.
- Night, ma'am.
1043
01:11:10,665 --> 01:11:12,424
Don't forget.
Ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
1044
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:13,710
Very good, ma'am.
1045
01:11:24,420 --> 01:11:25,960
Did you have a successful trip?
1046
01:11:29,358 --> 01:11:30,324
Yes.
1047
01:11:31,452 --> 01:11:32,615
I have your ticket.
1048
01:11:33,462 --> 01:11:35,112
You leave tomorrow.
1049
01:11:36,730 --> 01:11:37,873
Do I?
1050
01:11:38,909 --> 01:11:41,037
Where are my sisters?
- I sent them off to bed.
1051
01:11:41,594 --> 01:11:44,567
They were getting a little out of hand.
- I dare say it wasn't their fault.
1052
01:11:45,180 --> 01:11:46,694
Lucy is making some hot tea.
1053
01:11:47,190 --> 01:11:48,628
We thought you might be cold.
1054
01:11:49,171 --> 01:11:51,500
I'll be down again .. as soon as
I've said goodnight to them.
1055
01:12:05,306 --> 01:12:06,436
Is everything alright?
1056
01:12:06,652 --> 01:12:09,253
No it's not. She's packing me off
tomorrow. We've got to move fast.
1057
01:12:10,013 --> 01:12:14,109
You haven't changed your mind, have you?
- I couldn't refuse you anything .. now.
1058
01:12:17,711 --> 01:12:20,732
We thought you'd never come,
Ellen .. I was frightened.
1059
01:12:21,412 --> 01:12:22,227
Frightened?
1060
01:12:22,443 --> 01:12:24,128
Yes, they were such funny noises.
1061
01:12:24,896 --> 01:12:26,049
It was only the rats.
1062
01:12:27,710 --> 01:12:29,343
What have you been doing all evening?
1063
01:12:29,794 --> 01:12:33,166
We played a game of cribbage.
Of course, Albert cheated.
1064
01:12:33,475 --> 01:12:35,420
But it was rather fun
watching him cheat.
1065
01:12:36,156 --> 01:12:38,001
He hasn't said anything
about Miss Fiske?
1066
01:12:38,432 --> 01:12:39,681
No.
- Miss Fiske?
1067
01:12:41,073 --> 01:12:41,974
Why should he?
1068
01:12:42,322 --> 01:12:44,819
And neither of you spoke to him
about my buying the house?
1069
01:12:45,173 --> 01:12:46,021
No, Ellen.
1070
01:12:46,441 --> 01:12:47,399
Do you remember?
1071
01:12:47,678 --> 01:12:49,855
You made us swear on
the bible we wouldn't.
1072
01:12:53,352 --> 01:12:55,327
I think you'd better go to
sleep now, both of you.
1073
01:12:55,778 --> 01:12:58,491
I'm going downstairs to have a
hot cup of tea before I go to bed.
1074
01:13:11,633 --> 01:13:14,151
Albert, do you think ..?
- Pour the tea, Lucy.
1075
01:13:21,955 --> 01:13:24,408
Thank you Lucy. You may go to bed now.
- Yes, Miss Ellen.
1076
01:13:24,946 --> 01:13:26,345
Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
1077
01:13:36,366 --> 01:13:37,639
Auntie, where is your cane?
1078
01:13:38,312 --> 01:13:40,981
You look like you'd like to take down
my breeches and give me a dozen.
1079
01:13:42,223 --> 01:13:45,038
There's a boat sailing for Canada
on Friday. You sail with it.
1080
01:13:46,295 --> 01:13:47,826
I'm not sure I want to go to Canada.
1081
01:13:48,849 --> 01:13:49,693
Yet a while.
1082
01:13:50,173 --> 01:13:51,779
You haven't much choice, have you?
1083
01:13:52,201 --> 01:13:54,201
I don't know. I'm getting
quite fond of this place.
1084
01:13:54,463 --> 01:13:57,278
The air suits me .. I'm very
happy here for the time being.
1085
01:13:57,793 --> 01:13:59,765
I'm not happy having you here.
- Why?
1086
01:14:01,027 --> 01:14:03,956
It isn't safe since Sister Theresa
knows you're staying here with us.
1087
01:14:04,613 --> 01:14:07,129
The wrong sort of talk would bring
the police around here in no time.
1088
01:14:07,692 --> 01:14:09,826
I don't propose to risk a
scandal on your account.
1089
01:14:10,979 --> 01:14:12,484
There's more to it than that.
1090
01:14:13,552 --> 01:14:14,914
Lucy is apt to talk.
1091
01:14:15,787 --> 01:14:17,383
I don't think we need worry about her.
1092
01:14:18,557 --> 01:14:20,578
No. You've made sure of that.
1093
01:14:21,269 --> 01:14:24,026
Whatever do you mean by that?
- You know what, you cheap little ..
1094
01:14:24,454 --> 01:14:26,419
Stop it Ellen.
You'll make me lose my temper.
1095
01:14:26,784 --> 01:14:27,717
Your temper?
1096
01:14:27,975 --> 01:14:30,803
You leave first thing in the morning.
That's the end of you and your temper.
1097
01:14:31,019 --> 01:14:32,487
I shouldn't try to bluff me.
1098
01:14:32,885 --> 01:14:36,020
I'm not bluffing you. I order you.
- If I don't choose to be ordered?
1099
01:14:36,755 --> 01:14:39,395
I can't throw you out physically.
But I can send for the police.
1100
01:14:39,611 --> 01:14:40,765
And have your scandal?
1101
01:14:41,425 --> 01:14:43,625
Really, you're being very
inconsistent now, auntie dear.
1102
01:14:47,747 --> 01:14:49,119
You won't send for the police.
1103
01:14:50,349 --> 01:14:51,841
Why are you so sure?
1104
01:14:52,573 --> 01:14:53,992
Because you've another reason.
1105
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:56,914
A more important reason for
not wanting the police here.
1106
01:14:57,546 --> 01:14:59,799
For wanting me out of this
house as quickly as possible.
1107
01:15:01,265 --> 01:15:02,936
As a matter of fact, you are right.
1108
01:15:03,339 --> 01:15:04,889
Now we get down to brass tacks.
1109
01:15:09,192 --> 01:15:11,134
Did it concern Miss Fiske by any chance?
1110
01:15:12,843 --> 01:15:14,271
It would and it does.
1111
01:15:15,303 --> 01:15:18,769
I met her in town today.
She's coming back.
1112
01:15:21,002 --> 01:15:24,068
She's coming back?
- And why shouldn't she?
1113
01:15:25,444 --> 01:15:27,138
I thought she'd gone for good.
1114
01:15:27,641 --> 01:15:29,345
How utterly absurd of you, Albert.
1115
01:15:29,950 --> 01:15:32,232
There has never been any
question of her not coming back.
1116
01:15:33,753 --> 01:15:35,532
Why didn't you say
so in the first place?
1117
01:15:35,748 --> 01:15:37,942
You played the fool so much
with Louisa and Emily.
1118
01:15:39,190 --> 01:15:40,693
I was afraid you'd blurt it out.
1119
01:15:42,481 --> 01:15:44,355
As it is, I'll have to
break it to them gently.
1120
01:15:44,571 --> 01:15:46,477
Because it means
they will have to go too.
1121
01:15:51,855 --> 01:15:53,989
My little country holiday has
obviously come to an end.
1122
01:15:54,843 --> 01:15:56,734
I don't know what the
blazes I'll do in Canada.
1123
01:15:56,950 --> 01:15:59,119
I suppose one can starve there
as well as anywhere else.
1124
01:15:59,677 --> 01:16:00,790
You'll get on.
1125
01:16:01,757 --> 01:16:03,762
I'll give you a little
something to start off with.
1126
01:16:04,659 --> 01:16:05,908
For your mother's sake.
1127
01:16:06,405 --> 01:16:08,376
I suppose I should extend
my most humble thanks.
1128
01:16:08,668 --> 01:16:10,540
No. That from you would be too much.
1129
01:16:11,034 --> 01:16:13,664
If that's all we have to say to each
other, I may as well get up to bed.
1130
01:16:32,163 --> 01:16:34,237
A good night's sleep wouldn't
do you any harm, either.
1131
01:16:35,093 --> 01:16:36,483
You look a bit played out.
1132
01:16:42,139 --> 01:16:43,698
I must lock up first.
1133
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,157
Will I be seeing you in the
morning before I leave?
1134
01:16:49,557 --> 01:16:50,486
Yes.
1135
01:16:59,735 --> 01:17:01,070
I forgot to tell you, auntie.
1136
01:17:02,138 --> 01:17:03,848
I had a funny dream last night.
1137
01:17:05,052 --> 01:17:05,796
Did you?
1138
01:17:08,636 --> 01:17:10,288
I dreamt Miss Fiske was dead.
1139
01:17:17,761 --> 01:17:20,112
Goodnight, auntie.
- Goodnight, Albert.
1140
01:18:52,767 --> 01:18:54,268
Miss Fiske ..
1141
01:19:06,554 --> 01:19:07,625
Albert.
1142
01:19:08,620 --> 01:19:09,497
Albert!
1143
01:19:48,544 --> 01:19:49,617
Good morning, Bates.
1144
01:19:49,833 --> 01:19:52,997
Miss Creed ordered me. It's about the
train, but she didn't say which one.
1145
01:19:53,823 --> 01:19:54,626
Bates.
1146
01:19:55,260 --> 01:19:56,975
Cancel it. Miss Creed's
not feeling well.
1147
01:19:57,382 --> 01:19:59,134
Nothing serious I hope, sir?
1148
01:19:59,716 --> 01:20:00,845
No. Nothing serious.
1149
01:20:01,576 --> 01:20:03,714
In that case, I'd better hop along.
1150
01:20:11,215 --> 01:20:13,479
She did look ill when I
took in her early tea.
1151
01:20:13,844 --> 01:20:15,160
I wish we hadn't done it.
1152
01:20:15,376 --> 01:20:17,754
Pull yourself together.
You'll ruin everything. Go on upstairs.
1153
01:20:18,116 --> 01:20:20,071
She might have died.
- Shut up.
1154
01:20:22,419 --> 01:20:24,304
Well she didn't. And we
proved what we wanted.
1155
01:20:24,605 --> 01:20:27,046
Miss Fiske is dead and she knows it.
- I wonder when she died.
1156
01:20:27,262 --> 01:20:30,193
One more go, and I'll tell you when
and how, she died. Now, go on upstairs.
1157
01:20:32,234 --> 01:20:33,778
What did Bates want, Albert?
1158
01:20:34,469 --> 01:20:37,339
He brought the news from the outside
world. It will tickle you to death.
1159
01:20:37,669 --> 01:20:39,500
Wigs and whiskers are
coming back in again.
1160
01:20:39,795 --> 01:20:41,748
I don't think this is a
time for joking, Albert.
1161
01:20:42,024 --> 01:20:43,268
With Ellen the way she is.
1162
01:20:43,484 --> 01:20:45,673
You take this thing too seriously,
my old brussels sprout.
1163
01:20:45,906 --> 01:20:48,296
She was walking in her sleep
and had a nightmare. That's all.
1164
01:20:48,857 --> 01:20:50,738
It wasn't a nightmare, Albert.
1165
01:20:52,979 --> 01:20:56,425
Oh .. what was it then?
- She says she saw a ghost.
1166
01:20:58,326 --> 01:21:00,241
In that case, lay another
place for breakfast.
1167
01:21:01,837 --> 01:21:04,083
Do you really think
it was a ghost, Emily?
1168
01:21:04,814 --> 01:21:08,147
If it were only a nightmare,
we wouldn't have heard it too.
1169
01:21:09,095 --> 01:21:12,379
Heard what?
- The music. Miss Fiske's music.
1170
01:21:13,216 --> 01:21:14,174
You know, Emily.
1171
01:21:14,512 --> 01:21:16,786
I'm sometimes afraid Miss Fiske
will get the better of Ellen.
1172
01:21:17,358 --> 01:21:20,210
I sometimes think she wants
to come back and turn us out.
1173
01:21:20,570 --> 01:21:23,299
I think Miss Fiske is here .. now.
1174
01:21:24,166 --> 01:21:27,506
Well .. what are you
two whispering about?
1175
01:21:28,354 --> 01:21:30,821
Hadn't you better go for your walk now?
- Yes, Ellen.
1176
01:21:31,124 --> 01:21:32,605
Anything you say, Ellen.
1177
01:21:46,684 --> 01:21:48,838
Do you think you're
strong enough to be up?
1178
01:21:49,303 --> 01:21:52,031
Yes, dear. I'm quite alright now.
- Hadn't you better have a doctor?
1179
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,336
No. A doctor couldn't do any good.
1180
01:22:01,118 --> 01:22:03,274
Why are you two standing
there like a couple of owls?
1181
01:22:04,315 --> 01:22:05,674
Emily has been frightening me.
1182
01:22:05,890 --> 01:22:07,724
You've been imagining
things, both of you.
1183
01:22:07,940 --> 01:22:09,719
Now, run along for your walk.
1184
01:22:10,194 --> 01:22:12,573
Whatever you say, Ellen. You know best.
1185
01:22:47,533 --> 01:22:48,748
Good morning, aunt Ellen.
1186
01:22:52,429 --> 01:22:53,848
We didn't expect you down today.
1187
01:22:55,144 --> 01:22:56,748
Why aren't you ready yet?
1188
01:22:57,416 --> 01:22:58,898
Bates will be here at any moment.
1189
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:01,876
Bates has been here and
gone .. I sent him away.
1190
01:23:02,599 --> 01:23:04,832
What do you mean by interfering
with my arrangements?
1191
01:23:05,087 --> 01:23:07,308
I didn't like to go and leave
you not feeling well.
1192
01:23:07,829 --> 01:23:09,585
I'm quite recovered now, thank you.
1193
01:23:10,535 --> 01:23:12,151
It was a queer turn you had last night.
1194
01:23:13,012 --> 01:23:13,913
What happened?
1195
01:23:16,155 --> 01:23:17,012
Nothing.
1196
01:23:17,529 --> 01:23:19,792
You know, you should really do
something about your nerves.
1197
01:23:20,064 --> 01:23:22,710
This isn't the first time you've walked
in your sleep, according to Emily.
1198
01:23:23,866 --> 01:23:24,996
What's Emily told you?
1199
01:23:25,212 --> 01:23:26,370
Just the usual chatter.
1200
01:23:27,566 --> 01:23:30,648
They do say that people who walk in
their sleep have a guilty conscience.
1201
01:23:32,807 --> 01:23:34,722
What's behind that remark, Albert?
1202
01:23:35,877 --> 01:23:36,788
Nothing.
1203
01:23:56,997 --> 01:23:58,016
You know.
1204
01:23:58,692 --> 01:23:59,725
Uhuh.
1205
01:24:07,734 --> 01:24:09,783
Then it was you last night?
- Yes.
1206
01:24:10,635 --> 01:24:12,786
Me and Lucy.
- She knows too?
1207
01:24:13,435 --> 01:24:16,579
Not what I know. That's something you
and I are going to keep to ourselves.
1208
01:24:17,454 --> 01:24:19,302
Provided of course, you treat me right.
1209
01:24:21,351 --> 01:24:22,852
What are you going to do?
1210
01:24:24,955 --> 01:24:26,342
As I said, I'm very happy here.
1211
01:24:26,974 --> 01:24:29,880
I think with your financial help I'll
be able to adjust things at the bank.
1212
01:24:30,486 --> 01:24:33,462
And we can all settle down in peace.
A contented little family.
1213
01:24:38,699 --> 01:24:40,639
You mean, you propose
to go on living here?
1214
01:24:41,042 --> 01:24:42,511
With me?
- Why not?
1215
01:24:43,380 --> 01:24:45,003
You'd never be quite sure, would you?
1216
01:24:45,991 --> 01:24:47,704
You might not enjoy your meals.
1217
01:24:51,328 --> 01:24:53,741
You wouldn't dare .. a second time.
1218
01:24:54,750 --> 01:24:57,031
It takes a lot of courage to
kill for the first time, Albert.
1219
01:24:57,830 --> 01:25:00,317
Once you've sold your soul to
the Devil it becomes easier.
1220
01:25:01,558 --> 01:25:02,675
Much easier.
1221
01:25:03,887 --> 01:25:07,713
Alright .. give me £500 and I'll clear
out for good. And keep my mouth shut.
1222
01:25:07,933 --> 01:25:10,215
I'm not afraid of you, Albert.
And your shabby little tricks.
1223
01:25:10,666 --> 01:25:13,323
In the middle of the night, you may
fancy yourself cutting quite a figure.
1224
01:25:13,980 --> 01:25:15,595
It's broad daylight now.
1225
01:25:16,055 --> 01:25:17,426
[ Door knocks ]
1226
01:25:22,761 --> 01:25:23,944
It's those nuns.
1227
01:25:24,482 --> 01:25:27,362
Get that out of sight.
And yourself with it.
1228
01:25:31,659 --> 01:25:33,002
[ Door knocks ]
1229
01:25:38,532 --> 01:25:41,311
Good day, Sisters.
- I must talk to you, right away.
1230
01:25:41,857 --> 01:25:43,121
Are you alone?
- Yes.
1231
01:25:43,889 --> 01:25:44,905
What's the matter?
1232
01:25:45,241 --> 01:25:48,898
It's really none of my business
and I shouldn't have come but ..
1233
01:25:49,781 --> 01:25:52,419
The police. They've been to the Priory.
- What about?
1234
01:25:52,973 --> 01:25:54,653
They're searching for a young man.
1235
01:25:55,095 --> 01:25:57,671
Who stole money from a
bank over Gravesend way.
1236
01:25:58,212 --> 01:26:01,295
And from the description,
I suspect it was your nephew.
1237
01:26:01,945 --> 01:26:05,639
I thought if he were told, he might
have a chance to do the right thing.
1238
01:26:06,213 --> 01:26:07,596
And give himself up.
1239
01:26:08,675 --> 01:26:10,261
It is your nephew?
- Yes.
1240
01:26:10,825 --> 01:26:14,130
But they mustn't search here.
- They've gone to the Coyne farm first.
1241
01:26:14,553 --> 01:26:16,139
I heard one of them say so.
1242
01:26:17,097 --> 01:26:20,813
Oh Miss Ellen. Have I done
wrong in coming to warn you?
1243
01:26:22,345 --> 01:26:23,773
I don't know, Sister.
1244
01:26:24,730 --> 01:26:26,719
I had a brother rather like that.
1245
01:26:27,632 --> 01:26:28,938
He went wrong too.
1246
01:26:30,148 --> 01:26:33,618
People are so easily lost, aren't they?
1247
01:26:34,524 --> 01:26:35,575
Yes they are.
1248
01:26:36,083 --> 01:26:38,511
Poor girl. You have so many burdens.
1249
01:26:39,161 --> 01:26:40,320
If you refer to Albert.
1250
01:26:40,901 --> 01:26:42,388
He means absolutely nothing to me.
1251
01:26:43,143 --> 01:26:44,543
No-one does, for that matter.
1252
01:26:45,350 --> 01:26:46,843
Except Emily and Louisa.
1253
01:26:48,365 --> 01:26:53,486
If, any time, we can do anything to make
things easier for you or your sisters ..
1254
01:26:54,242 --> 01:26:56,078
Don't hesitate to turn to us.
1255
01:26:56,401 --> 01:26:58,181
That's very kind of you, Sister Theresa.
1256
01:26:58,843 --> 01:27:00,509
But you know, we're not of your faith.
1257
01:27:01,152 --> 01:27:04,017
In my Father's house are many mansions.
1258
01:27:10,324 --> 01:27:11,797
Blimey, I thought they'd never go.
1259
01:27:12,013 --> 01:27:13,715
Thanks for putting in
a good word for me.
1260
01:27:15,247 --> 01:27:16,837
The Coyne farm, is it?
1261
01:27:17,115 --> 01:27:19,332
That will give me a chance to
get behind them to the river.
1262
01:27:19,548 --> 01:27:21,951
Hurry. There's no time to lose.
- Yes, I'll get my clothes.
1263
01:27:36,482 --> 01:27:37,496
Lucy.
1264
01:27:38,970 --> 01:27:40,574
Why are you staring at me like that?
1265
01:27:47,259 --> 01:27:48,389
You've been listening.
1266
01:27:52,279 --> 01:27:53,011
Lucy.
1267
01:27:53,847 --> 01:27:55,077
Lucy, come back.
1268
01:27:56,673 --> 01:27:57,922
Lucy, come back.
1269
01:28:00,607 --> 01:28:01,729
What's up?
1270
01:28:04,948 --> 01:28:05,763
What is it?
1271
01:28:06,671 --> 01:28:07,700
Lucy's run off.
1272
01:28:08,543 --> 01:28:09,842
She was listening.
1273
01:28:11,899 --> 01:28:13,091
Turn me in, would she?
1274
01:28:13,589 --> 01:28:15,946
I've got to move fast.
Where's that money and boat ticket?
1275
01:28:21,783 --> 01:28:23,304
You mean, she heard all about that?
1276
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:28,225
Yes.
1277
01:28:29,117 --> 01:28:31,860
Hey .. you'd better
make a dash for it too.
1278
01:28:46,271 --> 01:28:47,740
Don't stand there mooning about.
1279
01:28:48,092 --> 01:28:49,909
Put your things on and
let's get out of here.
1280
01:28:52,816 --> 01:28:53,999
I'm not going.
1281
01:28:56,844 --> 01:28:58,130
Are you out of your mind?
1282
01:29:01,266 --> 01:29:03,883
You know what they'll do to you?
- You'd better hurry, Albert.
1283
01:29:04,966 --> 01:29:06,581
Well, if that don't beat the cards.
1284
01:29:08,780 --> 01:29:09,710
Well then ..
1285
01:29:11,785 --> 01:29:14,516
So long Ellen .. no hard feelings.
1286
01:29:49,217 --> 01:29:50,486
Ellen, it was so funny.
1287
01:29:50,849 --> 01:29:51,893
We just saw Albert.
1288
01:29:52,306 --> 01:29:53,808
He was playing 'tag' with some men.
1289
01:29:54,130 --> 01:29:56,069
He didn't win. They caught him.
1290
01:29:56,413 --> 01:29:57,556
He got quite annoyed.
1291
01:30:00,436 --> 01:30:02,922
Ellen, look.
We found a lot of jackdaw feathers.
1292
01:30:03,297 --> 01:30:05,846
We're going to tie them into
bundles and make little dusters.
1293
01:30:07,021 --> 01:30:08,492
Where are you going?
1294
01:30:10,172 --> 01:30:11,816
I'm going to Coyne farm.
1295
01:30:12,298 --> 01:30:14,852
There are some gentlemen there from
Gravesend and I want to see them.
1296
01:30:15,068 --> 01:30:16,974
You won't bring them
back here, will you Ellen.
1297
01:30:17,228 --> 01:30:19,134
It's so nice and peaceful by ourselves.
1298
01:30:20,007 --> 01:30:22,812
No, dear. I'll try not to
bring them back here.
1299
01:30:31,833 --> 01:30:35,636
You have been happy here, haven't you?
- We are happy here, aren't we Emily?
1300
01:30:35,852 --> 01:30:38,249
Yes .. it's much better than London.
1301
01:30:38,547 --> 01:30:40,897
It's so good of you to have
bought this house for us.
1302
01:30:41,242 --> 01:30:43,035
You have been clever, Ellen.
1303
01:31:06,500 --> 01:31:07,632
How long will you be?
1304
01:31:08,778 --> 01:31:10,031
I don't know, dear.
1305
01:31:10,562 --> 01:31:12,115
Maybe quite a time.
1306
01:31:13,116 --> 01:31:15,317
I think I shall go down
to The Priory tomorrow.
1307
01:31:15,914 --> 01:31:18,728
I should like to see the things the
Reverend Mother collected on the marsh.
1308
01:31:18,965 --> 01:31:20,045
I'll go with you.
1309
01:31:26,793 --> 01:31:29,371
Goodbye, Ellen .. don't worry about us.
1310
01:31:29,816 --> 01:31:31,460
We can look after ourselves.
1311
01:32:12,774 --> 01:32:13,678

Ellen Creed, a proud spinster fallen on hard times, has spent the past two years as housekeeper and companion to her old friend Leonora Fiske, a wealthy retiree who in her youth had been a chorus girl "of easy virtue". Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.
One day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.
Ellen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.
Ellen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.
Some nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.
Albert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a "sprained wrist." Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.
Albert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men. Ellen smiles, dons her coat and hat, tells the sisters she's going to see some men, kisses them goodbye and departs into the fog.

00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:15,105
Ellen.
2
00:02:16,275 --> 00:02:18,207
Yes, Miss Fiske.
- Is there any mail for me?
3
00:02:18,783 --> 00:02:20,449
No, just this one letter.
4
00:02:22,257 --> 00:02:24,580
No sign of Bates yet?
- Not yet.
5
00:02:25,271 --> 00:02:27,122
Oh dear, I do hope you
won't miss your train.
6
00:02:28,288 --> 00:02:29,130
I mustn't.
7
00:02:32,003 --> 00:02:34,632
Oh Lucy, hurry with that bag.
- Just coming, Miss.
8
00:02:39,861 --> 00:02:40,533
Ellen.
9
00:02:40,937 --> 00:02:42,986
That business I want you
to see about in London.
10
00:02:43,703 --> 00:02:45,281
This is for Mr Scott at the bank.
11
00:02:45,872 --> 00:02:47,797
It's about those Brazilian
bonds of mine.
12
00:02:48,116 --> 00:02:50,463
The way the market is this week,
I think they ought to be ..
13
00:02:51,108 --> 00:02:53,011
Get outside.
Keep your eyes open for Bates.
14
00:02:53,367 --> 00:02:54,154
Yes, Miss.
15
00:02:57,364 --> 00:02:59,365
And this address is
just off Berkeley Square.
16
00:02:59,637 --> 00:03:02,745
Go to the servant's entrance and
ask for Mr Blake. He's the butler.
17
00:03:02,990 --> 00:03:06,248
Say you've come from me with
a message for Lord Cardington.
18
00:03:06,501 --> 00:03:08,999
And will he give it to his
Lordship .. privately.
19
00:03:10,145 --> 00:03:11,726
Ellen, you aren't paying attention.
20
00:03:12,861 --> 00:03:14,130
But I am, Miss Fiske.
21
00:03:15,291 --> 00:03:16,862
What would be the best time to call?
22
00:03:18,183 --> 00:03:20,515
Harry always used to dine around eight.
23
00:03:21,648 --> 00:03:23,869
You call about half past seven.
- Yes, very well.
24
00:03:24,511 --> 00:03:25,441
You seem upset.
25
00:03:26,165 --> 00:03:27,082
Bad news?
26
00:03:28,607 --> 00:03:30,395
I don't want to bother
you with my troubles.
27
00:03:31,555 --> 00:03:33,845
It isn't a question of bothering
me with your troubles.
28
00:03:34,385 --> 00:03:36,059
You've become almost like my daughter.
29
00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:40,033
The letter is from my sisters,
Emily and Louisa.
30
00:03:40,723 --> 00:03:42,666
They're very unhappy back
in London without me.
31
00:03:43,371 --> 00:03:46,159
After all, I only saw them once since
I came to work for you, Miss Fiske.
32
00:03:46,627 --> 00:03:50,075
You'll see them today, won't you?
And everything will be alright, surely.
33
00:03:50,516 --> 00:03:51,365
Miss Fiske.
34
00:03:52,270 --> 00:03:53,239
Bates is coming.
35
00:03:53,677 --> 00:03:54,941
Tell him to hurry himself.
36
00:03:56,902 --> 00:04:00,083
My kind regards to your sisters, Ellen.
- Thank you, Miss Fiske.
37
00:04:05,516 --> 00:04:07,945
I've written them so much about you.
38
00:04:08,818 --> 00:04:10,041
How kind you've been.
39
00:04:10,952 --> 00:04:13,704
Stuff and nonsense.
I'm fond of you. You shouldn't ..
40
00:04:14,411 --> 00:04:16,314
Oh, a lovely juicy one.
41
00:04:18,629 --> 00:04:21,722
Perhaps you'll .. you might allow
them down for a little visit one day?
42
00:04:22,338 --> 00:04:24,174
Oh dear, look what the damp has done.
43
00:04:24,744 --> 00:04:27,291
Certainly, yes.
By all means. At any time.
44
00:04:27,661 --> 00:04:30,625
You know Lucy polished this
table all yesterday afternoon.
45
00:04:31,859 --> 00:04:34,142
Miss Fiske.
- Yes?
46
00:04:34,903 --> 00:04:36,139
It occurred to me that ..
47
00:04:36,694 --> 00:04:40,310
Since they've been so wretched lately,
and you may allow them to visit one day.
48
00:04:40,526 --> 00:04:42,677
Oh that? Yes, indeed. You tell them.
49
00:04:43,191 --> 00:04:45,776
Perhaps in the spring when
it's warm and sunny.
50
00:04:58,452 --> 00:05:01,788
Well .. what I was going to ask was ..
51
00:05:03,656 --> 00:05:06,019
Might I bring them back
with me this time? Now?
52
00:05:06,313 --> 00:05:08,044
Well now, Ellen.
- They won't be a bother.
53
00:05:08,260 --> 00:05:11,100
I promise Miss Fiske .. and it
will mean so much to them.
54
00:05:13,860 --> 00:05:17,056
Very well my dear. You bring with
you by all means. For a day or two.
55
00:05:17,531 --> 00:05:18,974
Thank you, Miss Fiske.
56
00:05:19,913 --> 00:05:22,776
I can't tell you how grateful I am.
- Well don't try, my dear.
57
00:05:23,612 --> 00:05:26,540
He's here, Miss.
- About time. The good-for-nothing.
58
00:05:29,731 --> 00:05:31,919
Ellen, have you got everything?
- Yes, Miss Fiske.
59
00:05:36,257 --> 00:05:37,214
Morning, ma'am.
60
00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:40,040
Bates, you might have been more prompt.
What on earth made you so late?
61
00:05:40,256 --> 00:05:44,233
Her. You can't gallop over the roads
with a lady in her delicate condition.
62
00:05:45,131 --> 00:05:46,985
She's going to throw a calf, she be.
63
00:05:47,329 --> 00:05:49,142
I'm taking her to the vets, I am.
64
00:05:49,580 --> 00:05:53,795
Kindly let her not throw any calves
until you get Miss Ellen to the station.
65
00:05:55,009 --> 00:05:58,324
Calves don't come by timetable, lady.
- Well trains do.
66
00:06:01,093 --> 00:06:02,789
Yes, ma'am.
- Goodbye, Miss Fiske.
67
00:06:03,093 --> 00:06:05,919
Goodbye, Miss Ellen.
- Goodbye, Lucy.
68
00:06:08,225 --> 00:06:10,399
Don't forget the allowance
from you-know-who.
69
00:06:10,690 --> 00:06:11,943
No, I shan't.
70
00:06:12,751 --> 00:06:13,558
Goodbye.
71
00:06:14,089 --> 00:06:15,295
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss.
72
00:06:16,549 --> 00:06:18,440
Alright now, there is a
day's work to be done.
73
00:06:43,285 --> 00:06:46,731
La, la, la .. la, la, la.
74
00:06:47,792 --> 00:06:51,445
This is nice. It's very, very nice.
- What's that you have there, Miss?
75
00:06:52,224 --> 00:06:55,022
It's called the New Comic Opera.
It's all the rage in London.
76
00:06:55,382 --> 00:06:56,355
The Mi-Ka-Do.
77
00:06:57,272 --> 00:06:58,355
Mikado.
78
00:06:59,483 --> 00:07:02,512
I used to tour the provinces with
the gentleman who sent it to me.
79
00:07:02,932 --> 00:07:05,701
Look, he signed it for me:
'Rutland Barington'.
80
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,844
'For my adored Leonora
with fond memories of ..'
81
00:07:12,167 --> 00:07:14,032
Never mind about that.
Go and do the dishes.
82
00:07:14,248 --> 00:07:15,034
Yes, Miss.
83
00:07:18,969 --> 00:07:23,159
<i>On a tree by a willow, a little tom-tit</i>.
84
00:07:23,685 --> 00:07:27,337
<i>Sang: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
85
00:07:27,860 --> 00:07:32,012
<i>And I said to him: dicky-bird,
why do you sit?</i>
86
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:36,024
<i>Singing: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
87
00:07:40,329 --> 00:07:41,550
Go on. Don't stop.
88
00:07:41,803 --> 00:07:45,343
Who are you? What are you doing here?
- Listening .. very nice too.
89
00:07:46,281 --> 00:07:48,810
What do you want?
- Ask me in and I'll tell you.
90
00:07:52,312 --> 00:07:55,617
Anyway young man, you may
come in .. but mind your manners.
91
00:07:56,854 --> 00:07:57,794
Alright, Miss.
92
00:08:06,770 --> 00:08:09,470
Isn't this where Miss Ellen Creed lives?
- Yes, she lives here.
93
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:12,146
What do you wish to see her about?
- It's a personal matter.
94
00:08:13,315 --> 00:08:15,156
She's my aunt. I'm Albert Feather.
95
00:08:15,372 --> 00:08:17,189
Your aunt?
- Right.
96
00:08:17,842 --> 00:08:20,039
Her mother was my stepfather's
uncle's second wife.
97
00:08:22,067 --> 00:08:24,058
And where do you come from?
- Gravesend.
98
00:08:24,649 --> 00:08:26,422
I .. I work in a bank there.
99
00:08:26,875 --> 00:08:28,891
It's a very long walk.
Hadn't you better sit down?
100
00:08:29,598 --> 00:08:30,640
Thank you.
101
00:08:33,063 --> 00:08:34,628
I'm afraid it's all been for nothing.
102
00:08:34,844 --> 00:08:37,420
Your aunt Ellen has gone to
London on some business for me.
103
00:08:38,218 --> 00:08:39,462
How long will she be away?
104
00:08:39,790 --> 00:08:41,215
A few days.
- A few?
105
00:08:43,071 --> 00:08:44,665
Blimey. That will be too late.
106
00:08:45,843 --> 00:08:47,270
Is there anything I can do?
107
00:08:47,764 --> 00:08:51,327
I'm Miss Fiske. Your aunt has been
working here as a housekeeper/companion.
108
00:08:52,049 --> 00:08:54,325
I didn't know.
I haven't seen her for five years.
109
00:08:56,066 --> 00:08:57,102
Can I help?
110
00:08:59,294 --> 00:09:00,176
I wonder.
111
00:09:00,570 --> 00:09:01,642
What's the trouble?
112
00:09:02,394 --> 00:09:03,435
Or is it trouble?
113
00:09:04,397 --> 00:09:07,440
It's trouble right enough.
I hardly like to tell you.
114
00:09:08,163 --> 00:09:09,437
Oh, I see.
115
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:11,115
What's the amount?
116
00:09:12,388 --> 00:09:14,291
Twelve pounds.
- How much?
117
00:09:14,952 --> 00:09:17,446
Twelve pounds.
- My goodness. That's a lot of money.
118
00:09:17,662 --> 00:09:19,564
I know. What's worse,
I must have it by tonight.
119
00:09:19,937 --> 00:09:21,177
I'm short at the bank.
120
00:09:21,937 --> 00:09:24,425
It means jail if I can't put it back
before the cashier checks up.
121
00:09:25,063 --> 00:09:27,092
Gambling?
- No. A girl.
122
00:09:28,525 --> 00:09:29,814
Are you engaged to her?
123
00:09:30,198 --> 00:09:31,426
No. She's an actress.
124
00:09:32,294 --> 00:09:34,143
She was in a travelling
company in Gravesend.
125
00:09:34,463 --> 00:09:36,933
What? At the Old Grand?
126
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:39,551
You know it?
- I played there.
127
00:09:40,084 --> 00:09:41,113
Years ago.
128
00:09:41,968 --> 00:09:43,041
You were an actress?
129
00:09:43,648 --> 00:09:45,054
Front row of the chorus.
130
00:09:45,889 --> 00:09:47,868
Fourth from the right.
131
00:09:48,396 --> 00:09:49,710
She was in the chorus too.
132
00:09:50,179 --> 00:09:51,820
I expect you took her out to supper.
133
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:54,542
Then she persuaded you to
go round the shops with her.
134
00:09:55,486 --> 00:09:56,610
How did you know?
135
00:09:58,034 --> 00:09:59,272
'Imagination', my boy.
136
00:10:01,410 --> 00:10:03,427
Anyway, she's over the hills
now to some other town.
137
00:10:03,731 --> 00:10:05,583
And with some other fool.
The little cheat.
138
00:10:10,573 --> 00:10:13,436
Don't worry any more about it.
I'll give you the twelve pounds.
139
00:10:14,686 --> 00:10:15,719
You will?
140
00:10:16,204 --> 00:10:19,080
Perhaps I owe it to you .. in a sense.
141
00:10:20,452 --> 00:10:21,783
Or to some other fool.
142
00:10:22,564 --> 00:10:23,754
You're a life-saver.
143
00:10:24,208 --> 00:10:26,940
Now you just wait here. I'll just
run upstairs and get my keys.
144
00:10:31,814 --> 00:10:33,378
A pity there aren't more like you.
145
00:10:33,970 --> 00:10:35,850
That my, lad, is a matter of opinion.
146
00:10:38,268 --> 00:10:40,807
Do you mind if I tickle on your ivories?
- No, do.
147
00:10:41,403 --> 00:10:42,190
Thank you.
148
00:10:46,990 --> 00:10:50,944
<i>It's the same the whole world over</i>.
149
00:10:52,269 --> 00:10:53,102
<i>It's</i> ..
150
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,183
<i>It's the poor what gets the blame</i>.
151
00:11:04,394 --> 00:11:08,374
<i>While the rich has all the pleasures</i>.
152
00:11:09,117 --> 00:11:12,780
<i>Now, ain't that the blinking shame</i>.
153
00:11:19,442 --> 00:11:20,183
Hello.
154
00:11:20,703 --> 00:11:21,996
You did scare me.
155
00:11:22,780 --> 00:11:24,167
I thought I was hearing things.
156
00:11:24,565 --> 00:11:25,460
You were.
157
00:11:25,819 --> 00:11:26,681
But I mean.
158
00:11:27,344 --> 00:11:28,245
A man's voice.
159
00:11:29,023 --> 00:11:30,360
So funny here.
160
00:11:32,142 --> 00:11:34,993
Doesn't the tide wash up
many male fish, my angel?
161
00:11:35,476 --> 00:11:38,023
A man is as scarce as
hansom cabs in these parts.
162
00:11:38,377 --> 00:11:40,049
That is, all but the old ones.
163
00:11:40,330 --> 00:11:43,699
The young ones go off to London or
some foreign parts as soon as they can.
164
00:11:44,405 --> 00:11:45,990
Are you going off to foreign parts?
165
00:11:46,537 --> 00:11:48,929
It depends.
- Depends on what?
166
00:11:49,541 --> 00:11:51,342
If anyone ever asks me.
167
00:11:52,252 --> 00:11:54,778
I shouldn't think with eyes like them
there would be any difficulty.
168
00:11:55,570 --> 00:11:56,438
Go on.
169
00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:59,288
What's your name?
- Lucy.
170
00:11:59,889 --> 00:12:02,390
What's yours?
- Albert. I'm Miss Creel's nephew.
171
00:12:02,791 --> 00:12:05,195
Funny .. I never heard about you.
172
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,223
That must be remedied.
173
00:12:09,483 --> 00:12:12,253
How about making the most of a male
fish now one has been washed up, eh?
174
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,043
What about a smacker?
- No, you mustn't.
175
00:12:15,952 --> 00:12:17,175
I don't know you.
176
00:12:17,650 --> 00:12:19,993
You needn't know people to kiss them.
- I do.
177
00:12:21,065 --> 00:12:22,481
Alright my girl. It's your loss.
178
00:12:23,722 --> 00:12:25,495
You think a lot of yourself, don't you?
179
00:12:36,494 --> 00:12:39,581
Has Lucy been entertaining you, Albert?
- Eh?
180
00:12:40,669 --> 00:12:42,777
She came in. We had a word or two.
181
00:12:43,910 --> 00:12:46,728
Nice looker, isn't she?
- I didn't notice.
182
00:12:47,252 --> 00:12:50,496
Come now, Albert.
Don't lose your sense of humour.
183
00:12:50,712 --> 00:12:53,147
I hope you're not one of those who
won't benefit from experience.
184
00:12:53,446 --> 00:12:57,232
Otherwise my twelve pounds
will be rather wasted, won't it.
185
00:12:58,006 --> 00:12:59,937
Don't you worry Miss Fiske.
I've had my lesson.
186
00:13:00,307 --> 00:13:01,631
I hope so.
187
00:13:05,189 --> 00:13:07,912
Now .. this is where we
keep our little hoard.
188
00:13:09,396 --> 00:13:11,055
It's an old bake-oven really.
189
00:13:12,795 --> 00:13:14,007
A proper tomb, isn't it?
190
00:13:15,288 --> 00:13:16,161
What's that?
191
00:13:16,603 --> 00:13:18,678
This is what they used to
pull the loaves out with.
192
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:24,941
Of course, we don't use it as a
bake-oven. Hasn't been used in years.
193
00:13:30,894 --> 00:13:31,880
Now then.
194
00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:34,726
Twelve pounds, I think you said.
195
00:13:35,604 --> 00:13:37,505
You couldn't make if fifteen?
- No, I couldn't.
196
00:13:37,721 --> 00:13:38,593
You couldn't?
197
00:13:40,918 --> 00:13:42,648
Do I give you an I.O.U.?
198
00:13:43,001 --> 00:13:44,040
No thank you.
199
00:13:44,453 --> 00:13:45,721
This isn't a loan.
200
00:13:46,087 --> 00:13:49,548
I shouldn't like you to incur the
remorse of not paying it back.
201
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:51,267
You are a daisy.
202
00:13:53,929 --> 00:13:55,680
Very prettily done, Albert.
203
00:14:00,308 --> 00:14:02,327
Now, let's forget all about it.
204
00:14:04,460 --> 00:14:06,870
If you came next week, you'd have
found three of your aunts here.
205
00:14:07,162 --> 00:14:09,049
Ellen is bringing her
sisters back from London.
206
00:14:09,406 --> 00:14:11,513
What, the potty ones?
- Potty?
207
00:14:11,729 --> 00:14:13,188
Queer as mice in a cage.
208
00:14:14,466 --> 00:14:16,775
They're quite harmless.
Especially when aunt Ellen's around.
209
00:14:17,257 --> 00:14:20,141
For comfort, they're coming
to stay here for a few days.
210
00:14:20,646 --> 00:14:23,031
They seem to mean quite a
great deal to your aunt Ellen.
211
00:14:23,247 --> 00:14:24,573
Oh, they would.
212
00:14:25,219 --> 00:14:27,164
She's looked after them
since she was a kid.
213
00:14:27,426 --> 00:14:30,676
She's watched over them like they were
a couple of perishing babes-in-arms.
214
00:14:31,397 --> 00:14:34,292
I think that's very commendable of her.
- Perhaps, but ..
215
00:14:34,796 --> 00:14:36,355
Think of all the fun she's missing.
216
00:14:37,398 --> 00:14:40,282
What, for example?
- You know.
217
00:14:41,511 --> 00:14:42,582
I see.
218
00:14:43,201 --> 00:14:46,094
I have to be toddling along.
I'll pay you back as soon as I can.
219
00:14:51,506 --> 00:14:54,128
I'd appreciate if you don't mention
our little transaction to aunt Ellen.
220
00:14:54,344 --> 00:14:55,709
Very well. If you like.
221
00:14:56,156 --> 00:14:57,446
How about .. whatsername?
222
00:14:57,987 --> 00:15:00,717
Lucy? Oh she won't say anything.
I'll take care of that.
223
00:15:01,147 --> 00:15:01,848
Thanks.
224
00:15:04,128 --> 00:15:05,104
So long my lady.
225
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,428
And again from the heart. I'll never
forget your kindness as long as I live.
226
00:15:10,954 --> 00:15:12,887
I hope you live a great
deal longer than that.
227
00:15:41,690 --> 00:15:45,882
Isn't it funny, Ellen? You can't see
the wind and you can't touch it.
228
00:15:46,164 --> 00:15:47,202
But it's there.
229
00:15:48,220 --> 00:15:51,549
I think you'd better have this round
you, dear. It's getting quite chilly.
230
00:15:52,323 --> 00:15:54,061
Listen .. what's that?
231
00:15:54,324 --> 00:15:56,455
Those are The Priory bells, dear.
From over the marshes.
232
00:15:56,671 --> 00:15:58,875
Oh .. I shan't like that.
233
00:16:00,388 --> 00:16:03,269
She hates bells.
- Especially church bells.
234
00:16:03,959 --> 00:16:06,415
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong.
235
00:16:06,823 --> 00:16:08,452
Aren't the marshes pretty.
236
00:16:09,396 --> 00:16:11,378
The grass is too long and untidy.
237
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,566
If I had a knife and a bit of string,
I'd cut it and tie it up in bundles.
238
00:16:18,823 --> 00:16:21,809
Are there any sheep here on the marshes?
- Yes, Miss.
239
00:16:22,119 --> 00:16:25,040
I think sheep are so clever to
chew their cud the way they do.
240
00:16:25,490 --> 00:16:26,918
It's very difficult.
241
00:16:27,875 --> 00:16:29,030
I've tried.
242
00:16:31,415 --> 00:16:34,749
You ought to be a sailor, Miss.
They're always chewing tobacco.
243
00:16:35,584 --> 00:16:37,415
The man I was to marry was a sailor.
244
00:16:38,195 --> 00:16:39,482
He gave me this.
245
00:16:40,242 --> 00:16:42,105
It's all I have to remember him by.
246
00:16:43,219 --> 00:16:44,631
He was wrecked at sea.
247
00:16:46,036 --> 00:16:47,692
They were all drowned.
248
00:16:48,609 --> 00:16:50,781
It must have been a bit of
sadness for you, Missy.
249
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,617
Oh no. I've quite forgotten
what he looked like.
250
00:16:53,867 --> 00:16:58,114
I saw a drowned man once. They took
him out of the Thames. He was green.
251
00:16:59,726 --> 00:17:00,800
Frogs.
252
00:17:01,614 --> 00:17:03,598
There must be lots of frogs.
253
00:17:04,872 --> 00:17:07,194
We used to have such
fun with them at home.
254
00:17:07,942 --> 00:17:11,767
We used to put them on the dining-table
and make them jump in the marmalade pot.
255
00:17:24,590 --> 00:17:27,124
Look. There's a bird's nest.
- So there is.
256
00:17:27,425 --> 00:17:29,585
It must be last summer's.
- I should like to have that.
257
00:17:29,801 --> 00:17:30,956
Bates, stop please.
258
00:17:33,961 --> 00:17:35,709
Oh .. I have it.
259
00:17:37,576 --> 00:17:40,244
Isn't it beautiful?
- Oh dear, it's all cobwebby.
260
00:17:41,088 --> 00:17:43,437
And it has a horrid smell.
- It mustn't be wasted.
261
00:17:43,773 --> 00:17:46,676
I shall save it until next year
and then I'll put it back again.
262
00:17:47,792 --> 00:17:49,568
Who knows where we'll be next year?
263
00:17:50,919 --> 00:17:53,493
Not in London anyway. You promised that.
264
00:17:54,646 --> 00:17:56,807
Yes, I promised that.
- Look.
265
00:17:59,651 --> 00:18:02,019
Louisa .. how did that happen?
266
00:18:02,290 --> 00:18:03,334
She did it.
- Who?
267
00:18:03,721 --> 00:18:04,985
That woman in London.
268
00:18:05,980 --> 00:18:08,599
She didn't give us enough food either.
- 'Discipline' she said.
269
00:18:09,276 --> 00:18:11,196
Louisa used to cry all night.
270
00:18:11,605 --> 00:18:13,863
I didn't. She couldn't discipline me.
271
00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:17,371
We'll be alright here
though with Miss Fiske.
272
00:18:17,911 --> 00:18:18,927
She won't beat us.
273
00:18:20,371 --> 00:18:22,086
No darling, she won't beat you.
274
00:18:23,299 --> 00:18:24,774
No-one will again. Ever.
275
00:18:35,203 --> 00:18:38,132
Now remember what I told you both.
You're not to talk too much.
276
00:18:38,505 --> 00:18:40,175
Wait until Miss Fiske knows you better.
277
00:18:40,391 --> 00:18:42,433
How can she get to know
us better if we don't talk?
278
00:18:43,833 --> 00:18:45,955
Come along dear.
Bates, get the luggage, will you.
279
00:18:46,171 --> 00:18:47,147
Yes, ma'am.
280
00:18:55,788 --> 00:18:57,441
They look harmless.
- What, Miss?
281
00:18:58,044 --> 00:19:00,065
Never mind. Go and put the kettle on.
- Yes, Miss.
282
00:19:07,201 --> 00:19:09,332
Well, here we are.
- I'm glad.
283
00:19:09,821 --> 00:19:12,750
Miss Fiske .. my sister
Emily, my sister Louisa.
284
00:19:13,012 --> 00:19:15,614
How do you do, Emily?
- We're very glad to be here.
285
00:19:16,355 --> 00:19:18,625
Louisa.
- I don't like people to touch me.
286
00:19:20,092 --> 00:19:22,203
I'm afraid Miss Fiske will
think you're very rude.
287
00:19:22,637 --> 00:19:25,893
They're rather tired, poor dears.
- I never get tired.
288
00:19:26,246 --> 00:19:28,424
I sometimes walk about
the house all night.
289
00:19:29,354 --> 00:19:32,358
Do you indeed?
- No, of course she doesn't, Miss Fiske.
290
00:19:35,582 --> 00:19:37,090
What beautiful furniture.
291
00:19:37,766 --> 00:19:40,401
Just like we used to have
before we lost all our money.
292
00:19:40,705 --> 00:19:44,104
Some of these <i>are </i>our things, dear.
Miss Fiske bought them at my Curio Shop.
293
00:19:44,499 --> 00:19:45,716
I want my tea.
294
00:19:45,982 --> 00:19:49,687
Emily, see .. here's the
grand champ himself.
295
00:19:50,198 --> 00:19:52,303
Remember when father bought him for us?
296
00:19:52,874 --> 00:19:54,913
I wonder if his head still nods.
297
00:19:55,230 --> 00:19:57,850
Ding-dong, ding-dong ..
- Louisa, dear.
298
00:19:58,188 --> 00:20:00,094
Bates, be careful.
You'll scratch the furniture.
299
00:20:00,329 --> 00:20:01,719
Very good, ma'am.
300
00:20:07,149 --> 00:20:09,201
I must say you've brought
enough luggage with you.
301
00:20:09,549 --> 00:20:11,220
We've brought everything.
- Everything?
302
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,760
We had to.
- Why?
303
00:20:13,089 --> 00:20:14,453
When they sent for the police.
304
00:20:14,787 --> 00:20:17,483
Now, my dears. I'm sure all this
can't possibly interest Miss Fiske.
305
00:20:17,819 --> 00:20:19,779
I think we should go up
and rest a bit before tea.
306
00:20:20,125 --> 00:20:22,023
Whatever you say, Ellen.
- Come along, Emily.
307
00:20:22,239 --> 00:20:24,948
That smelly train was very dirty.
308
00:20:25,188 --> 00:20:28,708
She's always fussing about the dirt.
I hope you keep things tidy here.
309
00:20:28,924 --> 00:20:32,483
Cleanliness is next to
Godliness .. don't you agree?
310
00:20:33,018 --> 00:20:35,985
Well .. I'm quite clean, I believe.
311
00:20:36,652 --> 00:20:39,005
But I don't know that
I'm particularly Godly.
312
00:20:39,668 --> 00:20:41,267
I thought you were a Roman.
313
00:20:41,837 --> 00:20:42,824
Isn't that yours?
314
00:20:43,077 --> 00:20:45,458
Miss Fiske is a Roman, dear.
And a very devoted one.
315
00:20:45,929 --> 00:20:47,614
Come along Louisa, Emily.
316
00:20:47,957 --> 00:20:50,102
Father, didn't approve of Romans.
317
00:20:52,032 --> 00:20:53,290
And neither do I.
318
00:21:13,724 --> 00:21:16,116
I expect it's one of those boobies.
319
00:21:16,588 --> 00:21:20,641
Miss Emily was drawing cat's faces on
brown paper yesterday when you were out.
320
00:21:21,138 --> 00:21:23,357
I can't stand it. I can't stand it.
321
00:21:23,721 --> 00:21:26,634
My lovely paisley shawl. It's ruined.
322
00:21:27,927 --> 00:21:31,189
You'd better get some vinegar and see
if you can do something about this spot.
323
00:21:31,443 --> 00:21:32,256
Yes, Miss.
324
00:21:32,810 --> 00:21:35,900
I'm utterly exhausted clearing
up after their messes.
325
00:21:36,172 --> 00:21:38,204
I don't wonder, Miss. So am I.
326
00:21:38,529 --> 00:21:42,030
And you should see their
bedroom. It's like a goat's-pen.
327
00:21:42,483 --> 00:21:45,783
I know it. If it isn't one
thing, it's another.
328
00:21:46,153 --> 00:21:49,633
For the last six weeks were like living
in the middle of Piccadilly Circus.
329
00:21:50,566 --> 00:21:52,478
My heart won't stand it.
330
00:21:53,336 --> 00:21:55,144
Go and get my smelling salts.
331
00:21:56,829 --> 00:21:59,720
Where are they, Miss?
- In the usual place, of course.
332
00:21:59,984 --> 00:22:01,928
Nothing is in the usual
place these days.
333
00:22:02,169 --> 00:22:02,822
No.
334
00:22:03,664 --> 00:22:05,532
Well then, get me a cold compress.
335
00:22:06,303 --> 00:22:09,597
I shall lie down and
take a nap while I can.
336
00:22:13,641 --> 00:22:14,627
Miss Fiske.
337
00:22:14,950 --> 00:22:18,862
Yes, what is it? What is it?
- Will they be staying much longer?
338
00:22:20,743 --> 00:22:23,049
They'll have my invitation
to go this evening.
339
00:22:26,420 --> 00:22:30,273
Oh dear, I wonder where Emily has
gone to. She ought to be back by now.
340
00:22:31,513 --> 00:22:33,331
I can't see her anywhere.
341
00:22:33,776 --> 00:22:37,997
I wish I were brave like Emily.
I should like to take long walks too.
342
00:22:38,404 --> 00:22:40,016
And pick up things.
343
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,248
Perhaps I shall be able to
after we've stayed here longer.
344
00:22:44,902 --> 00:22:46,145
I'm sure you will, dear.
345
00:22:46,442 --> 00:22:48,530
I shall be staying here, shan't I?
346
00:22:49,544 --> 00:22:52,354
You're not planning to send us away?
Are you, Ellen?
347
00:22:53,227 --> 00:22:54,739
No dear. Of course I'm not.
348
00:22:55,199 --> 00:22:57,189
This is what you've always promised us.
349
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,885
A little place in the country
where we can always be safe.
350
00:23:01,424 --> 00:23:04,604
Yes .. it's the one thing
I've been working for.
351
00:23:05,415 --> 00:23:07,236
Ever since we had to
give up the old house.
352
00:23:07,574 --> 00:23:10,567
Naturally, Estuary House
could never be like that.
353
00:23:11,114 --> 00:23:12,511
But it's nice enough.
354
00:23:12,898 --> 00:23:14,774
Yes, and Miss Fiske has
been very kind to us.
355
00:23:15,471 --> 00:23:18,924
Miss Fiske .. may I tell
you something, Ellen?
356
00:23:19,743 --> 00:23:21,102
Just one of my secrets.
357
00:23:21,866 --> 00:23:22,931
Of course you may.
358
00:23:23,717 --> 00:23:25,589
I don't like Miss Fiske.
359
00:23:27,025 --> 00:23:30,951
Couldn't we send her away? Then it
would <i>really</i> be just the three of us.
360
00:23:31,260 --> 00:23:33,656
But I keep telling you,
Louisa. It's <i>her</i> house.
361
00:23:34,059 --> 00:23:36,189
Oh no. You'll never
make me believe that.
362
00:23:36,987 --> 00:23:38,457
All out lovely things are there.
363
00:23:39,795 --> 00:23:43,336
We'll never have to go away, will we?
- No, darling. I promised you.
364
00:23:44,163 --> 00:23:44,998
Never.
365
00:23:46,020 --> 00:23:48,323
I think Miss Fiske wants us to go.
366
00:23:49,091 --> 00:23:50,341
Both of us.
367
00:23:50,928 --> 00:23:52,812
I'm sure I can persuade
her to let you stay.
368
00:23:54,613 --> 00:23:56,349
Oh dear, I do wish Emily would come.
369
00:23:56,602 --> 00:23:58,912
Maybe we'd better get along
home in case she's waiting there.
370
00:23:59,701 --> 00:24:00,838
Come along, dear.
371
00:24:01,945 --> 00:24:04,810
I don't want her upsetting Miss Fiske
again. She can be very tactless.
372
00:24:23,370 --> 00:24:25,220
Here girl, take this.
373
00:24:25,436 --> 00:24:27,267
Thanks a lot. What are we to do with it?
374
00:24:27,506 --> 00:24:29,709
Put it in the woodshed,
where it belongs.
375
00:24:29,962 --> 00:24:33,268
The woodshed is full. I won't have
you cluttering up my kitchen with it.
376
00:24:33,731 --> 00:24:35,093
Very well then.
377
00:24:44,580 --> 00:24:46,788
Oh dear ..
378
00:24:48,844 --> 00:24:50,225
What is it now?
379
00:24:54,808 --> 00:24:56,535
Wait until Miss Fiske sees this.
380
00:24:57,306 --> 00:24:59,938
What's the matter now? My goodness.
381
00:25:00,154 --> 00:25:02,116
More wood?
- Yes. Miss Emily dumped it.
382
00:25:02,602 --> 00:25:04,986
Never mind. You get out of here.
- I got a nice lot today.
383
00:25:05,672 --> 00:25:08,305
What are you thinking of? Making a
mess with it all over my clean floor.
384
00:25:08,521 --> 00:25:10,394
The girl wouldn't let
me put it in the kitchen.
385
00:25:10,671 --> 00:25:13,708
She's quite right. I told you to stop
bringing in wood. We have enough.
386
00:25:13,924 --> 00:25:16,497
I must tidy up the river
banks. I hate waste.
387
00:25:16,713 --> 00:25:18,995
And I hate litter. Now you
clear it away immediately.
388
00:25:19,239 --> 00:25:21,201
I won't be ordered to do things.
389
00:25:22,767 --> 00:25:24,118
This is too much.
390
00:25:24,496 --> 00:25:26,293
My best polished table.
391
00:25:26,789 --> 00:25:28,933
Look how these shells have scratched it.
392
00:25:29,269 --> 00:25:31,965
What's this? Wet seaweed and a horrid ..
393
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,604
Dead bird.
394
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,561
Leave my bird alone. And my shells.
395
00:25:37,060 --> 00:25:38,248
They are my treasures.
396
00:25:38,610 --> 00:25:41,515
We don't understand expensive things.
It's so long since we had any.
397
00:25:41,981 --> 00:25:44,044
I know it's very simple of me.
But I am simple.
398
00:25:44,260 --> 00:25:46,087
Emily .. what's wrong?
399
00:25:46,309 --> 00:25:48,986
I hate her. She threw my
bird into the fireplace.
400
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,507
Emily, control yourself.
401
00:25:50,723 --> 00:25:52,603
See what she's done
with her ridiculous shells.
402
00:25:52,885 --> 00:25:54,816
It will take a month's
polishing to put it right.
403
00:25:55,032 --> 00:25:56,708
I'm sorry Miss Fiske, I'll put it right.
404
00:25:57,276 --> 00:26:00,394
No Ellen, you shan't. I'll do it.
Let me do it. I'll polish it.
405
00:26:00,610 --> 00:26:02,434
Every day, all through the winter.
406
00:26:02,769 --> 00:26:05,511
Sweet of you, Louisa. But I doubt
you'll be here through the winter.
407
00:26:05,969 --> 00:26:07,630
But we shall. Ellen said so.
408
00:26:07,953 --> 00:26:10,046
You're mistaken, Louisa.
I said nothing of the kind.
409
00:26:10,262 --> 00:26:12,701
But you did. You promised.
- Louisa, will you be quiet.
410
00:26:16,013 --> 00:26:18,157
My heavens. This is the last straw.
411
00:26:18,802 --> 00:26:20,996
You'll drive me as crazy as yourselves.
412
00:26:24,448 --> 00:26:25,406
Oh, Ellen.
413
00:26:27,312 --> 00:26:28,535
Miss Fiske.
414
00:26:29,134 --> 00:26:31,588
I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to say that, but ..
415
00:26:32,377 --> 00:26:34,890
I've had about as much as I can endure.
416
00:26:36,396 --> 00:26:39,219
Emily .. take Louisa upstairs.
417
00:26:39,889 --> 00:26:41,482
Now, stop your crying, Louisa.
418
00:26:42,358 --> 00:26:44,045
There's nothing to cry about.
419
00:26:45,286 --> 00:26:46,141
Do you hear?
420
00:26:46,743 --> 00:26:48,817
Go upstairs. Both of you.
421
00:26:51,981 --> 00:26:53,380
And close the door behind you.
422
00:26:58,271 --> 00:27:00,113
That was a cruel thing to say.
423
00:27:00,788 --> 00:27:01,944
But it's true.
424
00:27:02,778 --> 00:27:06,123
One with her telescope and the other
with her mania for collecting things.
425
00:27:06,703 --> 00:27:08,149
They are insane, both of them.
426
00:27:08,609 --> 00:27:10,479
Please don't use that word again.
427
00:27:11,078 --> 00:27:12,310
Emily was right.
428
00:27:12,956 --> 00:27:14,664
But then people who
have all they want ..
429
00:27:15,013 --> 00:27:17,979
Never understand how much the smallest
things mean to those who haven't.
430
00:27:18,345 --> 00:27:19,046
Really?
431
00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:21,362
I don't think this calls for a sermon.
432
00:27:22,276 --> 00:27:24,365
I've been more than generous
to you and your sisters.
433
00:27:24,581 --> 00:27:26,750
People have always been very
generous to you, Miss Fiske.
434
00:27:26,966 --> 00:27:29,126
My sisters and I have never had
friends to send <i>us</i> money.
435
00:27:29,379 --> 00:27:31,480
That's hardly my fault, is it.
- No.
436
00:27:31,793 --> 00:27:35,189
Don't you feel you have a responsibility
to those less fortunate than you?
437
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,615
I don't know what you're talking about.
438
00:27:38,441 --> 00:27:40,476
Life hasn't been very
kind to us, Miss Fiske.
439
00:27:40,817 --> 00:27:42,798
Every penny we've ever
had, I've had to work for.
440
00:27:43,014 --> 00:27:45,706
Every penny. But at least
we have our self-respect.
441
00:27:47,024 --> 00:27:48,654
How dare you.
442
00:27:49,634 --> 00:27:51,866
How dare you criticise my life.
443
00:27:52,216 --> 00:27:55,606
Do you think I don't envy women who
have respectability? Who have families?
444
00:27:55,822 --> 00:27:58,890
Who aren't just forgotten and pensioned
off when they lose their stock-in-trade.
445
00:27:59,208 --> 00:28:01,196
Then you can't blame me
for fighting for my family.
446
00:28:01,412 --> 00:28:03,466
Very admirable, but it's
your family and not mine.
447
00:28:03,941 --> 00:28:05,065
Let me tell you this.
448
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,935
Your sisters, insane or not,
have overstayed their welcome.
449
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,611
I invite them here for two days
and they've stayed six weeks.
450
00:28:10,827 --> 00:28:13,450
Or perhaps you were planning
to keep them here forever?
451
00:28:14,485 --> 00:28:16,324
Well .. I had thought ..
452
00:28:17,124 --> 00:28:19,622
That I might pay something out
of my wages for their keep.
453
00:28:19,895 --> 00:28:22,261
Ellen, you're a hypocrite.
You're worse, you're a cheat.
454
00:28:22,937 --> 00:28:26,279
You meant to foist your wretched
brood on me and bleed me white.
455
00:28:26,626 --> 00:28:30,814
And when I saw through your scheme, you
had the insolence to turn and abuse me.
456
00:28:31,124 --> 00:28:32,701
But you've chosen the wrong woman.
457
00:28:32,917 --> 00:28:35,255
You get those sisters of yours
out of this house at once.
458
00:28:35,604 --> 00:28:37,644
And take a month's wages
and go with them.
459
00:28:39,743 --> 00:28:40,815
Miss Fiske.
460
00:29:08,710 --> 00:29:11,039
Ellen .. why aren't you in bed?
461
00:29:11,451 --> 00:29:13,179
Why are you prowling about at this hour?
462
00:29:13,761 --> 00:29:16,786
Miss Fiske, may I come in?
I must talk with you, please.
463
00:29:17,357 --> 00:29:18,516
Well, mind your tongue.
464
00:29:18,764 --> 00:29:20,987
We don't want any more of
this afternoon's unpleasantness.
465
00:29:23,612 --> 00:29:24,936
I'm sorry about that.
466
00:29:25,715 --> 00:29:27,833
I was wrong. I shouldn't
have spoken to you as I did.
467
00:29:28,791 --> 00:29:30,462
No .. you shouldn't.
468
00:29:37,617 --> 00:29:38,744
Miss Fiske.
469
00:29:39,702 --> 00:29:42,303
Do you remember the letter that arrived
the day I went away to London?
470
00:29:42,556 --> 00:29:46,058
Yes .. what about it?
- It was from their landlady.
471
00:29:46,613 --> 00:29:47,747
Emily and Louisa.
472
00:29:48,187 --> 00:29:49,552
Had been a little difficult.
473
00:29:49,893 --> 00:29:51,137
She'd sent for the police.
474
00:29:52,329 --> 00:29:54,369
They were going to be
put away in an institution.
475
00:29:54,764 --> 00:29:57,034
The landlady was quite right.
That's where they belong.
476
00:29:57,393 --> 00:30:00,433
But Miss Fiske, you don't
understand. They're my sisters.
477
00:30:00,820 --> 00:30:02,707
You don't know what I've
gone through for them.
478
00:30:02,923 --> 00:30:05,036
They've no-one else in the
world to turn to but me.
479
00:30:05,740 --> 00:30:08,948
I pleaded with the police to release
them. They agreed on one condition.
480
00:30:09,533 --> 00:30:11,458
That they were to remain
in my personal care.
481
00:30:11,740 --> 00:30:13,336
That I was to be responsible for them.
482
00:30:13,787 --> 00:30:15,440
And if there were any more complaints.
483
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,522
That they were to be put away forever.
That's why I can't send them away.
484
00:30:19,825 --> 00:30:21,889
All this devotion is
very admirable, Ellen.
485
00:30:22,285 --> 00:30:24,471
But I fail to see how I can
help in any way at all.
486
00:30:24,801 --> 00:30:26,903
Oh but you can. You can, Miss Fiske.
487
00:30:27,618 --> 00:30:29,823
I thought perhaps they
might use the attic upstairs.
488
00:30:30,162 --> 00:30:32,379
They'll stay there out of the
way where you don't see them.
489
00:30:32,716 --> 00:30:34,876
They could use the back stairs
when they come in and out.
490
00:30:35,129 --> 00:30:37,055
Ellen, what are you talking about?
491
00:30:37,271 --> 00:30:40,267
I promise they'll never come near you.
You'll never know they're in the house.
492
00:30:40,829 --> 00:30:43,797
I'll look after them myself.
I'll cook their meals for them.
493
00:30:44,387 --> 00:30:46,231
I promise they won't
be any more trouble.
494
00:30:46,913 --> 00:30:49,120
Miss Fiske, they must
be with me, they must.
495
00:30:49,439 --> 00:30:51,590
I'll pay for their keep.
I'll work for nothing.
496
00:30:51,834 --> 00:30:54,509
Please .. oh, please Miss Fiske.
497
00:30:54,829 --> 00:30:56,720
Ellen, have you quite
gone out of your mind?
498
00:30:57,064 --> 00:31:00,126
You must be blind if you can't realise
they'd always be getting in my way.
499
00:31:00,342 --> 00:31:02,612
You pack them off tomorrow.
- But, Miss Fiske. Won't ..?
500
00:31:02,828 --> 00:31:04,369
No Ellen, my mind is made up.
501
00:31:05,471 --> 00:31:09,239
If you want to, you can stay here a few
days until you've found a new situation.
502
00:31:10,018 --> 00:31:12,814
Now run along to bed. And make
certain they leave tomorrow.
503
00:31:14,132 --> 00:31:16,592
You wouldn't want me to be sending
for the police, would you?
504
00:31:18,682 --> 00:31:20,329
Goodnight Ellen. I'm tired.
505
00:31:24,230 --> 00:31:25,186
Goodnight.
506
00:31:48,528 --> 00:31:50,908
But you told her you were
going to send us away.
507
00:31:52,592 --> 00:31:54,344
I'm not going to send you away.
508
00:31:54,732 --> 00:31:56,620
We heard you. We were listening.
509
00:31:57,784 --> 00:31:59,386
Isn't she terrible, Ellen?
510
00:32:00,207 --> 00:32:01,536
She's wicked.
511
00:32:03,006 --> 00:32:04,907
I'm not going to send you away.
512
00:32:06,836 --> 00:32:07,678
Never.
513
00:32:08,554 --> 00:32:11,269
If you're not sending us away,
what are you going to do?
514
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,293
I don't know.
515
00:32:16,674 --> 00:32:17,831
I must think.
516
00:32:30,078 --> 00:32:32,550
I've always wanted
to explore an old castle.
517
00:32:32,971 --> 00:32:35,857
Will it have a dungeon do you think?
- They all have dungeons.
518
00:32:36,191 --> 00:32:36,978
With bats.
519
00:32:37,415 --> 00:32:39,138
No, dear. Bats are in belfries.
520
00:32:39,459 --> 00:32:43,180
There's sure to be secret passageways
and places where they'd hide things.
521
00:32:45,198 --> 00:32:46,346
Like that.
522
00:32:54,259 --> 00:32:58,372
Yes .. I'm sure Miss Fiske has lots
of exciting things hidden in there.
523
00:32:58,588 --> 00:33:00,212
Her jewels, I'm sure.
524
00:33:01,019 --> 00:33:04,181
I've looked in all her boxes and
haven't been able to find them.
525
00:33:04,718 --> 00:33:07,167
Are you both ready?
- Oh yes. Quite.
526
00:33:07,404 --> 00:33:10,004
I managed to pack all
the lunch into one bag.
527
00:33:10,660 --> 00:33:11,630
Mine.
528
00:33:12,914 --> 00:33:15,600
Come here and sit down.
I want to talk to you both.
529
00:33:25,193 --> 00:33:25,808
Now.
530
00:33:26,107 --> 00:33:28,868
I haven't told you the real reason why
you're being sent away for a whole day.
531
00:33:29,589 --> 00:33:32,633
The truth is I want to be entirely
alone with Miss Fiske for a few hours.
532
00:33:32,849 --> 00:33:34,817
Is that why you got rid of Lucy too?
533
00:33:35,131 --> 00:33:37,177
I didn't get rid of Lucy, Emily.
She had a toothache.
534
00:33:37,393 --> 00:33:40,293
Oh Ellen dear, you know that's
not true. She didn't want to go at all.
535
00:33:40,754 --> 00:33:42,833
I said she had a toothache, Louisa.
536
00:33:44,698 --> 00:33:45,628
Now listen.
537
00:33:46,220 --> 00:33:49,408
Last night, while you were both asleep,
I had a long talk with Miss Fiske.
538
00:33:50,131 --> 00:33:52,867
She's tired of the marshes
and wants to travel for a bit.
539
00:33:53,530 --> 00:33:55,633
I've persuaded her to
sell this house to me.
540
00:33:55,849 --> 00:33:58,210
Not really, Ellen?
- We haven't discussed price yet.
541
00:33:58,976 --> 00:34:02,422
That's why I must be alone with her, so
we can talk with nothing to distract us.
542
00:34:02,694 --> 00:34:05,355
She may want more than
you're prepared to pay.
543
00:34:07,101 --> 00:34:09,142
I'm prepared to pay
quite a big price, Emily.
544
00:34:09,569 --> 00:34:11,442
Oh, lovely, lovely, lovely.
545
00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:14,491
Oh Emily, aren't you excited?
- Louisa, be quiet.
546
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:17,415
Now, there's one more thing.
547
00:34:18,401 --> 00:34:19,716
The most important.
548
00:34:35,231 --> 00:34:36,722
You see this bible, both of you?
549
00:34:37,587 --> 00:34:39,899
I want you to swear on it.
By father's memory.
550
00:34:40,590 --> 00:34:43,550
That you'll never repeat a word of my
buying this house as long as you live.
551
00:34:45,940 --> 00:34:46,963
What do I say?
552
00:34:47,581 --> 00:34:48,963
Just say 'I swear'.
553
00:34:49,670 --> 00:34:51,113
Oh .. I swear.
554
00:34:51,554 --> 00:34:52,484
You too, Emily.
555
00:34:52,787 --> 00:34:54,831
I won't swear on the bible. It's wicked.
556
00:34:55,435 --> 00:34:56,571
If you don't Emily ..
557
00:34:56,869 --> 00:34:59,143
I shan't buy the house and I'll
send you both back to London.
558
00:34:59,426 --> 00:35:01,058
Oh Emily, be sensible.
559
00:35:01,660 --> 00:35:04,984
I don't like being made
to do things .. I promise.
560
00:35:05,604 --> 00:35:06,759
Now, remember.
561
00:35:07,527 --> 00:35:09,016
That's a sacred oath.
562

Here's Bates. Hurry now.
There's no time to waste.
563

Drive slowly Bates.
Please don't let them get cold.

You can take your time. I shan't be
expecting you back before dusk.

Very good, ma'am.

Goodbye Ellen. I wish you could come.
- I wish you were coming too.

- Goodbye.

Have a good time.
- Thank you.

I'm out of practice.

To dear Louisa and dear Emily.

00:37:14,858 --> 00:37:16,359
May we never meet again.

May we come in?
- Yes.
576
00:39:25,330 --> 00:39:28,536
I'd like to speak to Miss Ellen.
Unless Miss Fiske is back?
577
00:39:29,038 --> 00:39:32,096
No, she's still away. I'll fetch Ellen.
578
00:39:34,682 --> 00:39:36,292
We're making jam.
579
00:39:44,568 --> 00:39:45,883
Good evening.

00:39:46,963 --> 00:39:48,418
It isn't a very good one, is it?

No, as a matter of fact it's not.
Cats and dogs.

Good evening, Sisters.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

But we're in the middle of
putting up our quince jam.
585
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,087
Please don't apologise. I'm afraid
we've come on a begging errand.
586
00:40:04,550 --> 00:40:06,781
Our supplier of oil hasn't
arrived from Rochester.
587
00:40:07,225 --> 00:40:10,245
And the Reverend Mother wondered
if we might borrow a can until Sunday.

Will you run out to the shed
and bring in a can of paraffin.

Yes, Miss Ellen.

about with the storm and all?

- Listen, Lucky.

- No, she's away.

- Does she know I've been here before?

- Good. Get on with your work.

I'm very particular who I know.

00:41:30,205 --> 00:41:33,391
For a moment, when I saw the candles
burning, I thought Miss Fiske was back.

She hasn't written for over a fortnight.

We were so surprised
to learn she'd gone.

She hadn't mentioned she was
planning a journey anywhere.

No. It was quite unexpected.

She had a letter from some old

- She's taken to lighting those candles.

00:47:01,721 --> 00:47:02,961
Here's your food, Albert.
699
00:47:04,313 --> 00:47:07,205
Run up to bed, both of you.
I want to talk with Albert.
700
00:47:07,421 --> 00:47:10,580
But we don't want to go to bed.
- No, we want to stay to talk to Albert.
701
00:47:10,905 --> 00:47:13,857
Go on, do as aunt Ellen says. Toddle off
to bye-byes like good little girls.
702
00:47:14,125 --> 00:47:16,821
Here, wait. Why don't you wet your
whistles. It will make you sleep tight.
703
00:47:17,178 --> 00:47:19,055
Sleep tight. Albert, you are silly.
704
00:47:19,553 --> 00:47:22,004
I don't think they'd better, Albert.
- What's the harm?
705
00:47:22,483 --> 00:47:24,708
You don't have a long-lost
nephew every night of the week.
706
00:47:25,121 --> 00:47:26,369
Fetch some glasses, Emily.
707
00:47:26,585 --> 00:47:29,797
Very well, but not too much now.
- Just a tiny thimbleful for me, Albert.
708
00:47:31,252 --> 00:47:32,688
How about you, aunt Ellen?
709
00:47:33,327 --> 00:47:34,716
Nothing for me, thank you.
710
00:47:37,757 --> 00:47:40,199
Now, my Siamese twins.
What about a toast, eh?
711
00:47:40,523 --> 00:47:41,905
I don't know any.
712
00:47:42,140 --> 00:47:44,008
In that case, here's to absent friends.
713
00:47:44,328 --> 00:47:45,464
Absent friends.
714
00:47:46,046 --> 00:47:48,543
Ellen, I suppose we
should think of Miss Fiske.
715
00:48:01,321 --> 00:48:03,604
Who put out those candles?
- What candles?
716
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,445
Oh those.
- It must have been the wind.
717
00:48:10,055 --> 00:48:11,998
Goodnight, Albert.
- Goodnight my lady.
718
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,204
Goodnight, Albert.
- Goodnight.
719
00:48:21,642 --> 00:48:23,379
It wasn't the wind, Ellen.
720
00:48:38,904 --> 00:48:41,109
I say auntie, you've not
turned Roman have you?
721
00:48:41,466 --> 00:48:42,763
I do this for a friend.
722
00:48:48,243 --> 00:48:49,129
Now, Albert.
723
00:48:49,869 --> 00:48:52,134
Let's stop all this 'auntie' nonsense
and get down to cases.
724
00:48:52,862 --> 00:48:54,748
Why have you come here
and what do you want?
725
00:48:55,073 --> 00:48:56,918
Well auntie .. I mean, Ellen.
726
00:48:57,692 --> 00:49:02,208
To cut it fine, I'm taking a compulsory
holiday from my bank over in Gravesend.
727
00:49:02,602 --> 00:49:05,107
In other words, you've lost your job.
- I've given it up.
728
00:49:05,738 --> 00:49:07,522
You haven't done anything
wrong, have you?
729
00:49:09,237 --> 00:49:11,605
I sort-of helped myself to a
little salary I wasn't entitled to.
730
00:49:12,885 --> 00:49:14,393
You mean, you've stolen money.
731
00:49:16,415 --> 00:49:19,181
This is rattling good brandy.
- Answer me, Albert.
732
00:49:21,270 --> 00:49:23,848
You've got it.
- How much?
733
00:49:24,594 --> 00:49:27,402
A small matter of a hundred pounds.
- I'll see.
734
00:49:30,342 --> 00:49:33,271
I suppose you want me to give you the
hundred pounds so you can put it back?
735
00:49:33,515 --> 00:49:36,477
I'm afraid it's too late for that.
They found out, the police.
736
00:49:37,180 --> 00:49:38,164
The police?
737
00:49:38,389 --> 00:49:42,016
A friend passed me the tip they were
coming. So I .. I took French leave.
738
00:49:42,455 --> 00:49:44,956
But .. they'll follow you.
They'll come here.
739
00:49:46,079 --> 00:49:49,774
Don't worry .. no-one knows I've got
relations out here on the marshes.
740
00:49:51,122 --> 00:49:52,699
I'll be safe here for a lifetime.
741
00:49:53,159 --> 00:49:55,319
You're certainly not going
to stay here for a lifetime.
742
00:49:55,769 --> 00:49:57,815
Surely you don't mind me
staying for a while, do you?
743
00:49:58,340 --> 00:50:00,745
Until it all blows over.
- Then what do you propose to do?
744
00:50:01,094 --> 00:50:03,725
Clear out of the country.
America, Australia. Any old where.
745
00:50:04,230 --> 00:50:06,552
I'm .. counting on you to help me.
746
00:50:06,868 --> 00:50:08,188
I need money for my passage.
747
00:50:08,631 --> 00:50:09,630
I'm .. I'm stony.
748
00:50:11,353 --> 00:50:13,246
It won't cost much. Steerage.
749
00:50:13,691 --> 00:50:15,882
I don't see why I should concern
myself with your affairs.
750
00:50:16,414 --> 00:50:17,870
I'll land in prison if you don't.
751
00:50:19,541 --> 00:50:22,420
You're not the sort to turn anybody down
who's in trouble and needed your help.
752
00:50:23,210 --> 00:50:24,969
You wouldn't fail your
own flesh and blood.
753
00:50:25,185 --> 00:50:27,020
I'm no flesh and blood of yours, Albert.
754
00:50:27,468 --> 00:50:29,199
Won't you give me a
chance to start again?
755
00:50:29,415 --> 00:50:30,734
I promise. Cross my heart.
756
00:50:31,090 --> 00:50:33,457
I'll never do anything wrong
again for the rest of my natural.
757
00:50:33,673 --> 00:50:35,143
Let me go.
758
00:50:41,301 --> 00:50:44,030
Very well. I'll do it.
- Bless you, Ellen.
759
00:50:44,415 --> 00:50:46,973
You're a daisy, you are.
- We'll talk about it in the morning.
760
00:50:47,820 --> 00:50:50,180
You can sleep on the sofa tonight.
- I don't mind where I sleep.
761
00:50:50,396 --> 00:50:51,419
But mind you ..
762
00:50:51,635 --> 00:50:54,218
You can only stay until I've
arranged your passage on the boat.
763
00:50:54,434 --> 00:50:57,466
Anything you say,
Ellen old girl .. what's that?
764
00:50:57,983 --> 00:50:59,945
That's just the maid.
She's been out on an errand.
765
00:51:01,006 --> 00:51:02,550
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss?
766
00:51:04,518 --> 00:51:06,220
They'll be a gentleman
staying the night.
767
00:51:06,639 --> 00:51:07,819
A gentleman staying?
768
00:51:08,099 --> 00:51:09,776
A relation. He'll sleep in here.
769
00:51:10,033 --> 00:51:12,679
Now go to your room and change your
wet clothes before you start sneezing.
770
00:51:12,895 --> 00:51:15,090
Yes, Miss .. goodnight.
- Goodnight.
771
00:51:15,306 --> 00:51:16,096
Goodnight.
772
00:51:16,620 --> 00:51:17,557
'Lucy', is it?
773
00:51:19,035 --> 00:51:20,472
Yes .. Lucy.
774
00:51:23,706 --> 00:51:25,687
I fancy that's all for
tonight, aunt Ellen.
775
00:51:26,138 --> 00:51:29,180
I'll just have a weed before
I turn in. The last of the day.
776
00:51:30,306 --> 00:51:32,729
You seem to be taking this
all very lightly, Albert.
777
00:51:33,490 --> 00:51:35,166
You have told me the worst, haven't you?
778
00:51:35,601 --> 00:51:38,110
I mean, there isn't anything else?
- What else?
779
00:51:40,653 --> 00:51:42,212
There are worse things than stealing.
780
00:51:42,987 --> 00:51:43,994
For instance?
781
00:51:45,828 --> 00:51:47,359
No, there's no blood on my hands.
782
00:51:47,743 --> 00:51:49,703
Putting people out calls
for <i>real </i>nerve, you know.
783
00:51:54,270 --> 00:51:55,303
Yes.
784
00:51:59,547 --> 00:52:01,321
Goodnight, Albert.
- Nighty night.
785
00:53:12,967 --> 00:53:15,145
Did you enjoy the sermon, Mr Bates?
786
00:53:15,603 --> 00:53:16,818
Mighty powerful, Miss.
787
00:53:17,293 --> 00:53:18,797
Yes. It was, wasn't it.
788
00:53:20,284 --> 00:53:22,109
But there was a lot I didn't understand.
789
00:53:23,490 --> 00:53:24,866
The part that went ..
790
00:53:25,639 --> 00:53:26,568
How was it?
791
00:53:27,496 --> 00:53:29,004
The wicked flee.
792
00:53:30,087 --> 00:53:32,717
When no man .. pursueth.
793
00:53:34,739 --> 00:53:36,575
But .. but ..
794
00:53:38,561 --> 00:53:41,233
The righteous are as bold as a lion.
795
00:54:08,319 --> 00:54:09,297
Well.
796
00:54:10,743 --> 00:54:12,479
What do you think you're doing?
797
00:54:13,690 --> 00:54:16,840
I fooled around with this padlock
last night and it .. came off.
798
00:54:17,592 --> 00:54:18,689
You shouldn't have.
799
00:54:19,344 --> 00:54:21,297
That's where Miss Fiske
keeps her valuables.
800
00:54:21,551 --> 00:54:23,794
How does she get at them?
With a pickaxe? Look.
801
00:54:25,898 --> 00:54:28,667
Well I never. All bricked up.
802
00:54:29,531 --> 00:54:31,248
I wonder why that was done.
803
00:54:31,530 --> 00:54:33,342
It wasn't that way the
last time I was here.
804
00:54:33,821 --> 00:54:35,868
So you've had your nose
in there before, have you?
805
00:54:36,948 --> 00:54:39,174
Funny what nasty thoughts
people have sometimes, isn't it.
806
00:54:39,390 --> 00:54:41,597
Funny how they're right
sometimes, isn't it.
807
00:54:59,037 --> 00:55:01,443
I wonder why anyone would want
to brick up a place like that?
808
00:55:02,492 --> 00:55:05,171
Maybe Miss Fiske put her jewels
in there before she went away.
809
00:55:05,807 --> 00:55:08,881
You know .. she's not one to take
any chances leaving them about.
810
00:55:09,234 --> 00:55:10,530
Even with your aunt Ellen.
811
00:55:12,817 --> 00:55:15,523
If there are any sparkles in there,
I wouldn't mind having a peep at them.
812
00:55:15,748 --> 00:55:18,262
I'm sure you wouldn't.
- And neither would you, I dare say.
813
00:55:19,833 --> 00:55:24,037
In fact .. I'm sure you'd like the feel
of some around your swan-like neck.
814
00:55:26,610 --> 00:55:28,629
A pretty pink ear like
that calls for diamonds.
815
00:55:29,014 --> 00:55:31,473
A wandering hand like yours
calls for a slap in the face.
816
00:55:31,821 --> 00:55:33,675
It's wicked to slap a
man's face on a Sunday.
817
00:55:33,981 --> 00:55:35,745
The better the day, the better the deed.
818
00:55:36,179 --> 00:55:37,595
That leaves my conscience clear.
819
00:55:42,243 --> 00:55:43,680
I'll scream.
820
00:55:45,098 --> 00:55:46,140
What's that?
821
00:55:52,703 --> 00:55:55,550
What do you think I'm made of?
- Sugar and spice.
822
00:55:56,874 --> 00:55:58,131
And everything nice.
823
00:56:01,849 --> 00:56:03,164
Blimey, you're strong.
824
00:56:06,001 --> 00:56:07,586
It's a wig. Whose is it?
825
00:56:08,854 --> 00:56:10,150
It is Miss Fiske's.
826
00:56:10,705 --> 00:56:12,391
Oh, it's her best one.
827
00:56:13,295 --> 00:56:15,239
She's as bald as a coot.
- Ah.
828
00:56:15,455 --> 00:56:17,042
A wonder she didn't take it with her.
829
00:56:18,291 --> 00:56:19,267
Hello.
830
00:56:19,605 --> 00:56:22,290
Ah, she left a lot of
her fancy dresses too.
831
00:56:23,063 --> 00:56:24,930
Perhaps she'll buy some
new ones up in London?
832
00:56:25,392 --> 00:56:26,938
These are new. Most of them.
833
00:56:27,918 --> 00:56:30,059
You'd better put that back up.
- Alright.
834
00:56:30,285 --> 00:56:31,783
Get up on this chair.
835
00:56:39,798 --> 00:56:41,554
You know, it <i>is</i> odd
she only took one wig.
836
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:45,357
On a trip, anything might happen.
A fire or a gust of wind.
837
00:56:45,751 --> 00:56:46,409
Oh.
838
00:56:47,720 --> 00:56:49,195
Here's Emily coming up the path.
839
00:56:50,109 --> 00:56:51,329
You'd better be off.
840
00:56:57,184 --> 00:56:58,794
Hello my old cup of tea.
841
00:57:00,310 --> 00:57:02,634
What are you doing with those
bull-rushes? Looking for Moses?
842
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,371
You're making fun of me .. naughty boy.
843
00:57:28,649 --> 00:57:31,405
Hello Ducky .. I'm glad you're
back before the others.
844
00:57:31,964 --> 00:57:34,668
It isn't often I have the chance of
a tête-à-tête with the family's fairest.
845
00:57:34,884 --> 00:57:36,672
You're never serious
about anything, Albert.
846
00:57:36,888 --> 00:57:38,846
I was never more serious in my life.
847
00:57:40,212 --> 00:57:42,518
The storm did an enormous
amount of damage.
848
00:57:42,869 --> 00:57:45,494
Roads into Rochester and Gravesend
were completely flooded.
849
00:57:46,258 --> 00:57:48,836
The Postman told me.
- I hope they stay that way.
850
00:57:50,098 --> 00:57:51,558
Allow me, Empress.
851
00:57:52,362 --> 00:57:54,681
There's only one letter today.
It's for Miss Fiske.
852
00:57:55,047 --> 00:57:55,755
Is it?
853
00:58:01,577 --> 00:58:03,226
It's a cosy nest you got here.
854
00:58:03,605 --> 00:58:05,661
What's will happen to you
when Miss Fiske gets back?
855
00:58:05,896 --> 00:58:07,596
Will she let you stay on, do you think?
856
00:58:11,455 --> 00:58:12,701
She isn't coming back.
857
00:58:13,532 --> 00:58:14,548
Why not?
858
00:58:15,342 --> 00:58:16,575
Ellen's bought the house.
859
00:58:19,252 --> 00:58:19,924
Go on.
860
00:58:20,140 --> 00:58:21,241
Yes. It's quite true.
861
00:58:22,049 --> 00:58:23,150
It's a secret though.
862
00:58:23,366 --> 00:58:26,001
Ellen made us swear on the bible
that we wouldn't tell anyone.
863
00:58:26,218 --> 00:58:28,300
But you are one of the family.
So it's alright.
864
00:58:29,873 --> 00:58:31,661
Why should she want
to keep it a secret, eh?
865
00:58:31,877 --> 00:58:33,636
I don't know.
It was done in a great hurry.
866
00:58:33,873 --> 00:58:35,534
Louisa and I were sent off to Rochester.
867
00:58:35,750 --> 00:58:38,669
Then when we came back that night,
Miss Fiske was gone and it was all over.
868
00:58:40,902 --> 00:58:42,862
You won't tell Ellen I told
you, will you, Albert?
869
00:58:43,234 --> 00:58:43,975
No.
870
00:58:45,212 --> 00:58:47,000
We'll make that our
little secret, shall we?
871
00:58:47,335 --> 00:58:48,064
Alright.
872
00:58:50,086 --> 00:58:52,513
It will be rather fun.
Having a secret from Ellen.
873
00:58:53,143 --> 00:58:55,628
She thinks she's the clever one.
But she isn't.
874
00:58:57,109 --> 00:58:57,924
Not always.
875
00:58:59,816 --> 00:59:00,402
No.
876
00:59:01,225 --> 00:59:02,040
Not always.
877
00:59:17,517 --> 00:59:19,294
Albert.
- What?
878
00:59:25,153 --> 00:59:26,418
Good morning.
879
00:59:28,974 --> 00:59:30,034
May we come in?
880
00:59:30,250 --> 00:59:32,261
Who's that?
- A couple of nuns from The Priory.
881
00:59:33,048 --> 00:59:36,099
You talk to them, Albert.
I've got to tidy up the orchard.
882
00:59:47,032 --> 00:59:51,087
Oh .. I didn't know there was
a young man staying here.
883
00:59:51,632 --> 00:59:52,844
Is Miss Ellen about?
884
00:59:53,060 --> 00:59:55,956
Sorry. She's gone over to the church at
Cawley. I'm her nephew, can I help?
885
00:59:56,487 --> 01:00:00,357
We came to return this. She lent us
a little oil last night. We ran short.
886
01:00:00,792 --> 01:00:02,060
Thanks.
- Yes, and this.
887
01:00:02,634 --> 01:00:04,846
The rent for the little field.
Your aunt will understand.
888
01:00:05,106 --> 01:00:06,179
I'll give it to her.
889
01:00:06,395 --> 01:00:08,788
We are so looking forward
to Miss Fiske's return.
890
01:00:09,371 --> 01:00:10,864
She's a dear friend of ours.
891
01:00:11,239 --> 01:00:14,646
Oh .. have you .. heard from her lately?
892
01:00:15,031 --> 01:00:16,218
No, not a word.
893
01:00:16,752 --> 01:00:19,335
I think the Reverend Mother is
a trifle hurt she hasn't written.
894
01:00:19,678 --> 01:00:22,281
In fact, she didn't even tell
us she was going away.
895
01:00:22,777 --> 01:00:25,295
Not very chummy, was it.
- No, it wasn't.
896
01:00:26,837 --> 01:00:28,232
Good morning.
- Good morning.
897
01:01:05,242 --> 01:01:07,671
Now what are you up to?
- Fetch me a knife, Ducky.
898
01:01:15,499 --> 01:01:17,170
What's that?
- A letter for Miss Fiske.
899
01:01:17,511 --> 01:01:19,943
You're not going to open it?
- No. Wouldn't think of it.
900
01:01:24,242 --> 01:01:25,431
What's it say?
901
01:01:26,201 --> 01:01:28,502
'Dear Madam.
Regarding your instructions ..'
902
01:01:28,718 --> 01:01:31,591
'To forward the amount of the
enclosed cheque in 5-pound notes'.
903
01:01:32,239 --> 01:01:36,889
'Your signature appears to differ from
that with which we are acquainted'.
904
01:01:38,793 --> 01:01:41,444
'We should be obliged if you
could kindly confirm same ..'
905
01:01:41,845 --> 01:01:44,354
'By signing it afresh.
In your usual manner'.
906
01:01:48,582 --> 01:01:49,634
Fifty pounds.
907
01:01:50,633 --> 01:01:51,591
Notice the date.
908
01:01:52,218 --> 01:01:53,703
'October 14th'.
909
01:01:54,794 --> 01:01:57,258
That's three days ago.
She's been gone longer than that.
910
01:01:57,803 --> 01:01:59,484
Since the beginning of September.
911
01:02:00,292 --> 01:02:02,329
She probably made it
out from wherever she is.
912
01:02:02,949 --> 01:02:04,986
Yes, she could have. Hey, wait a minute.
913
01:02:06,442 --> 01:02:08,765
In that case, why did they
send the reply to her here?
914
01:02:10,183 --> 01:02:11,666
You see who it's made payable to?
915
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:14,680
Ellen Creed.
916
01:02:15,506 --> 01:02:17,785
What of it? I expect it's
the housekeeping money.
917
01:02:18,380 --> 01:02:21,488
Maybe. Where's the glue-pot?
- Over there.
918
01:02:21,704 --> 01:02:23,015
Get it for me.
919
01:02:28,096 --> 01:02:30,146
Dip your finger in it.
- I should say not.
920
01:02:30,516 --> 01:02:31,817
I've had no hand in this.
921
01:02:33,119 --> 01:02:33,963
Haven't you?
922
01:02:35,383 --> 01:02:37,379
You are a filthy pig.
- Go on. Seal it up.
923
01:02:38,971 --> 01:02:39,930
Go on.
924
01:02:44,402 --> 01:02:46,276
Don't forget.
You're in this as deep as me now.
925
01:02:46,550 --> 01:02:48,124
I wish you'd never come here.
926
01:02:48,888 --> 01:02:51,488
I don't know what comes over
me when you're around.
927
01:02:52,752 --> 01:02:54,483
You won't give me away
to Ellen, will you?
928
01:02:54,699 --> 01:02:56,230
I won't if you keep your mouth shut.
929
01:03:03,357 --> 01:03:06,241
Here come the performing seals.
Not a word, mind you.
930
01:03:17,604 --> 01:03:18,397
Albert.
931
01:03:18,622 --> 01:03:20,252
Hello, aunts .. had a nice pray?
932
01:03:20,492 --> 01:03:22,114
You should have been at church, Albert.
933
01:03:22,576 --> 01:03:24,609
The minister told us all about Hell.
934
01:03:25,016 --> 01:03:27,336
You'd have enjoyed the
bit about the lost souls ..
935
01:03:27,682 --> 01:03:29,251
Sizzling in the bottomless pit.
936
01:03:29,554 --> 01:03:31,970
Would I now? Sounds frightening.
937
01:03:32,540 --> 01:03:34,859
Ellen .. where is Hell?
938
01:03:37,451 --> 01:03:39,443
Hell is like the Kingdom of Heaven.
939
01:03:41,672 --> 01:03:42,552
It is within.
940
01:03:43,037 --> 01:03:43,995
That reminds me.
941
01:03:44,310 --> 01:03:45,926
One of your religious friends was here.
942
01:03:46,258 --> 01:03:49,076
She left you this.
It's the rent for some field or other.
943
01:03:50,580 --> 01:03:52,568
She didn't see you, did she?
- I couldn't avoid it.
944
01:03:52,784 --> 01:03:54,258
That was Sister Theresa.
945
01:03:55,171 --> 01:03:59,138
She's Miss Fiske's friend. She doesn't
like us any more than Miss Fiske did.
946
01:03:59,974 --> 01:04:01,311
Didn't Miss Fiske like you?
947
01:04:01,981 --> 01:04:03,098
She was horrid to us.
948
01:04:03,344 --> 01:04:05,103
Louisa, run upstairs
and change your dress.
949
01:04:05,417 --> 01:04:07,148
You can't sit around
in your best all day.
950
01:04:07,445 --> 01:04:08,575
No. I shan't, shall I.
951
01:04:09,221 --> 01:04:10,348
No. Of course not.
952
01:04:12,538 --> 01:04:13,819
Albert.
- Huh?
953
01:04:14,096 --> 01:04:16,776
I don't want you to mention Miss Fiske
again in front of my sisters.
954
01:04:17,336 --> 01:04:18,819
They quarrelled with her.
955
01:04:19,382 --> 01:04:21,392
And it upsets them very
much to talk about her.
956
01:04:22,012 --> 01:04:23,364
Sorry. Nobody told me.
957
01:04:24,555 --> 01:04:26,055
What did you quarrel about?
958
01:04:26,666 --> 01:04:28,328
I didn't say I quarrelled with her.
959
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,220
Would she by any chance be the friend
you lit those candles for last night?
960
01:04:37,276 --> 01:04:38,187
Yes.
961
01:04:39,145 --> 01:04:40,469
When did she die?
962
01:04:42,779 --> 01:04:43,699
Die?
963
01:04:44,779 --> 01:04:46,516
Who said anything about her being dead?
964
01:04:47,042 --> 01:04:50,858
I just assumed she was.
You don't light candles for the living.
965
01:04:51,493 --> 01:04:53,352
Do you?
- I don't know.
966
01:04:54,178 --> 01:04:55,831
I just thought they stood for prayer.
967
01:04:56,685 --> 01:04:58,451
I must find Emily.
- By the way.
968
01:04:58,779 --> 01:05:00,614
The postman gave her
a letter for Miss Fiske.
969
01:05:00,911 --> 01:05:02,450
From her bank, I believe.
970
01:05:03,202 --> 01:05:04,375
Give it to me.
971
01:05:14,895 --> 01:05:16,951
I'm managing all her
affairs while she's away.
972
01:05:29,109 --> 01:05:31,579
Anything important?
- Yes, rather.
973
01:05:32,625 --> 01:05:34,512
I must get an answer
in the post immediately.
974
01:05:39,075 --> 01:05:40,763
A stylish looking piano you've got here.
975
01:05:41,029 --> 01:05:43,016
Don't distract me, Albert.
I must concentrate.
976
01:05:43,301 --> 01:05:45,026
I'm sorry. Don't mind me, auntie.
977
01:05:59,907 --> 01:06:01,335
I say, you are up to date.
978
01:06:02,020 --> 01:06:04,648
I didn't expect to find a copy of
The Mikado way out here on the marshes.
979
01:06:10,467 --> 01:06:12,747
[ Whistling song: Tit-Willow ]
980
01:06:20,224 --> 01:06:21,491
Don't do that.
981
01:06:22,064 --> 01:06:24,252
I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to distract you.
982
01:06:25,378 --> 01:06:27,960
It's just I happen to dislike that
particular tune. That's all.
983
01:06:28,261 --> 01:06:29,932
It's a bit on the morbid side.
984
01:06:35,775 --> 01:06:37,740
Miss Ellen, how soon
will you want dinner?
985
01:06:38,044 --> 01:06:39,402
In a quarter of an hour, Lucy.
986
01:06:39,624 --> 01:06:41,383
I'll just post this
letter at the crossing.
987
01:06:41,801 --> 01:06:42,788
Let me go, Ellen.
988
01:06:43,019 --> 01:06:44,372
I can do with a sniff of air.
989
01:06:44,588 --> 01:06:46,710
No thank you.
I prefer to attend to this myself.
990
01:07:20,938 --> 01:07:22,723
What are you up to now?
991
01:07:23,124 --> 01:07:24,998
She just wrote a reply to
the letter we opened.
992
01:07:25,426 --> 01:07:27,560
I thought it would be interesting
to see what she says.
993
01:07:28,703 --> 01:07:29,518
'Dear sir'.
994
01:07:30,198 --> 01:07:30,956
'Cheque'.
995
01:07:31,301 --> 01:07:32,168
Something.
996
01:07:32,562 --> 01:07:33,406
'Incorrect'.
997
01:07:34,231 --> 01:07:35,018
Something.
998
01:07:35,529 --> 01:07:36,258
'Owing'.
999
01:07:36,987 --> 01:07:38,671
Something, something.
1000
01:07:39,444 --> 01:07:40,350
'Wrist'.
1001
01:07:41,875 --> 01:07:43,870
What does that word
look like to you? See.
1002
01:07:44,636 --> 01:07:47,233
'S .. p .. r ..'
1003
01:07:47,779 --> 01:07:48,718
S .. p .. r.
1004
01:07:49,226 --> 01:07:50,685
'Sprained'. That's it.
1005
01:07:51,092 --> 01:07:52,394
'Owing to a sprained wrist'.
1006
01:07:53,878 --> 01:07:54,922
Something. 'Yours'.
1007
01:07:55,374 --> 01:07:56,225
'Leonora'.
1008
01:07:57,357 --> 01:07:58,758
'Leonora Fiske'.
1009
01:08:01,625 --> 01:08:03,040
She signed it 'Leonora Fiske'.
1010
01:08:03,525 --> 01:08:04,684
What's it mean, Albert?
1011
01:08:05,493 --> 01:08:06,665
What do you think?
1012
01:08:07,266 --> 01:08:09,506
It looks as if she's pretending
to be Miss Fiske.
1013
01:08:10,308 --> 01:08:12,239
Getting money on the strength of it.
- Brilliant.
1014
01:08:12,455 --> 01:08:13,845
If that's true, she's a thief.
1015
01:08:14,342 --> 01:08:15,535
Like you.
- Shut up.
1016
01:08:18,319 --> 01:08:20,417
What will happen when
Miss Fiske comes back?
1017
01:08:23,624 --> 01:08:25,061
Suppose she isn't coming back?
1018
01:08:26,187 --> 01:08:29,149
Suppose she's died somewhere.
And Ellen is the only one who knows.
1019
01:08:29,485 --> 01:08:31,229
You can't die and only
one person know it.
1020
01:08:31,445 --> 01:08:32,744
Can't you? I'm not so sure.
1021
01:08:34,460 --> 01:08:35,600
One thing I do know.
1022
01:08:35,906 --> 01:08:38,896
She'd never risk it unless she knew
Miss Fiske was out of the way for good.
1023
01:08:39,955 --> 01:08:43,091
Alright .. assume she's dead.
Aunt Ellen is having the funds.
1024
01:08:43,645 --> 01:08:45,721
It might be years before
anybody would find out.
1025
01:08:48,011 --> 01:08:49,815
Why should she reap all the benefit?
1026
01:08:55,455 --> 01:08:57,100
There may be some pickings in it for us.
1027
01:08:57,481 --> 01:08:59,841
Would you like to see a bit of the
world? Have some fun with me?
1028
01:09:00,057 --> 01:09:01,907
You'd tempt Old Nick
himself, wouldn't you?
1029
01:09:02,123 --> 01:09:03,540
You've got to help me get proof.
1030
01:09:03,775 --> 01:09:05,763
I don't want to do anything
mean or underhanded.
1031
01:09:06,113 --> 01:09:09,069
Would I ask you to? Use your eyes
and keep your ears open. That's all.
1032
01:09:09,863 --> 01:09:10,821
What do you say?
1033
01:09:11,696 --> 01:09:12,720
I don't know.
1034
01:09:12,936 --> 01:09:14,752
Perhaps this will help
you make up your mind.
1035
01:09:20,189 --> 01:09:22,321
Well?
- I'll help you, Albert.
1036
01:09:23,541 --> 01:09:25,685
Here she comes. Look sharp now.
Back to the kitchen.
1037
01:10:47,655 --> 01:10:48,984
She's coming.
1038
01:10:49,341 --> 01:10:51,214
Blimey. You almost made
me frightened myself.
1039
01:10:51,698 --> 01:10:53,567
Hurry up, hurry up.
- Alright. Shut up.
1040
01:10:57,097 --> 01:10:59,119
Hey, go in the kitchen
and make some tea.
1041
01:11:00,769 --> 01:11:03,053
Take this with you. Go on, hurry.
1042
01:11:08,868 --> 01:11:10,408
Goodnight, Bates.
- Night, ma'am.
1043
01:11:10,665 --> 01:11:12,424
Don't forget.
Ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
1044
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:13,710
Very good, ma'am.
1045
01:11:24,420 --> 01:11:25,960
Did you have a successful trip?
1046
01:11:29,358 --> 01:11:30,324
Yes.
1047
01:11:31,452 --> 01:11:32,615
I have your ticket.
1048
01:11:33,462 --> 01:11:35,112
You leave tomorrow.
1049
01:11:36,730 --> 01:11:37,873
Do I?
1050
01:11:38,909 --> 01:11:41,037
Where are my sisters?
- I sent them off to bed.
1051
01:11:41,594 --> 01:11:44,567
They were getting a little out of hand.
- I dare say it wasn't their fault.
1052
01:11:45,180 --> 01:11:46,694
Lucy is making some hot tea.
1053
01:11:47,190 --> 01:11:48,628
We thought you might be cold.
1054
01:11:49,171 --> 01:11:51,500
I'll be down again .. as soon as
I've said goodnight to them.
1055
01:12:05,306 --> 01:12:06,436
Is everything alright?
1056
01:12:06,652 --> 01:12:09,253
No it's not. She's packing me off
tomorrow. We've got to move fast.
1057
01:12:10,013 --> 01:12:14,109
You haven't changed your mind, have you?
- I couldn't refuse you anything .. now.
1058
01:12:17,711 --> 01:12:20,732
We thought you'd never come,
Ellen .. I was frightened.
1059
01:12:21,412 --> 01:12:22,227
Frightened?
1060
01:12:22,443 --> 01:12:24,128
Yes, they were such funny noises.
1061
01:12:24,896 --> 01:12:26,049
It was only the rats.
1062
01:12:27,710 --> 01:12:29,343
What have you been doing all evening?
1063
01:12:29,794 --> 01:12:33,166
We played a game of cribbage.
Of course, Albert cheated.
1064
01:12:33,475 --> 01:12:35,420
But it was rather fun
watching him cheat.
1065
01:12:36,156 --> 01:12:38,001
He hasn't said anything
about Miss Fiske?
1066
01:12:38,432 --> 01:12:39,681
No.
- Miss Fiske?
1067
01:12:41,073 --> 01:12:41,974
Why should he?
1068
01:12:42,322 --> 01:12:44,819
And neither of you spoke to him
about my buying the house?
1069
01:12:45,173 --> 01:12:46,021
No, Ellen.
1070
01:12:46,441 --> 01:12:47,399
Do you remember?
1071
01:12:47,678 --> 01:12:49,855
You made us swear on
the bible we wouldn't.
1072
01:12:53,352 --> 01:12:55,327
I think you'd better go to
sleep now, both of you.
1073
01:12:55,778 --> 01:12:58,491
I'm going downstairs to have a
hot cup of tea before I go to bed.
1074
01:13:11,633 --> 01:13:14,151
Albert, do you think ..?
- Pour the tea, Lucy.
1075
01:13:21,955 --> 01:13:24,408
Thank you Lucy. You may go to bed now.
- Yes, Miss Ellen.
1076
01:13:24,946 --> 01:13:26,345
Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
1077
01:13:36,366 --> 01:13:37,639
Auntie, where is your cane?
1078
01:13:38,312 --> 01:13:40,981
You look like you'd like to take down
my breeches and give me a dozen.
1079
01:13:42,223 --> 01:13:45,038
There's a boat sailing for Canada
on Friday. You sail with it.
1080
01:13:46,295 --> 01:13:47,826
I'm not sure I want to go to Canada.
1081
01:13:48,849 --> 01:13:49,693
Yet a while.
1082
01:13:50,173 --> 01:13:51,779
You haven't much choice, have you?
1083
01:13:52,201 --> 01:13:54,201
I don't know. I'm getting
quite fond of this place.
1084
01:13:54,463 --> 01:13:57,278
The air suits me .. I'm very
happy here for the time being.
1085
01:13:57,793 --> 01:13:59,765
I'm not happy having you here.
- Why?
1086
01:14:01,027 --> 01:14:03,956
It isn't safe since Sister Theresa
knows you're staying here with us.
1087
01:14:04,613 --> 01:14:07,129
The wrong sort of talk would bring
the police around here in no time.
1088
01:14:07,692 --> 01:14:09,826
I don't propose to risk a
scandal on your account.
1089
01:14:10,979 --> 01:14:12,484
There's more to it than that.
1090
01:14:13,552 --> 01:14:14,914
Lucy is apt to talk.
1091
01:14:15,787 --> 01:14:17,383
I don't think we need worry about her.
1092
01:14:18,557 --> 01:14:20,578
No. You've made sure of that.
1093
01:14:21,269 --> 01:14:24,026
Whatever do you mean by that?
- You know what, you cheap little ..
1094
01:14:24,454 --> 01:14:26,419
Stop it Ellen.
You'll make me lose my temper.
1095
01:14:26,784 --> 01:14:27,717
Your temper?
1096
01:14:27,975 --> 01:14:30,803
You leave first thing in the morning.
That's the end of you and your temper.
1097
01:14:31,019 --> 01:14:32,487
I shouldn't try to bluff me.
1098
01:14:32,885 --> 01:14:36,020
I'm not bluffing you. I order you.
- If I don't choose to be ordered?
1099
01:14:36,755 --> 01:14:39,395
I can't throw you out physically.
But I can send for the police.
1100
01:14:39,611 --> 01:14:40,765
And have your scandal?
1101
01:14:41,425 --> 01:14:43,625
Really, you're being very
inconsistent now, auntie dear.
1102
01:14:47,747 --> 01:14:49,119
You won't send for the police.
1103
01:14:50,349 --> 01:14:51,841
Why are you so sure?
1104
01:14:52,573 --> 01:14:53,992
Because you've another reason.
1105
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:56,914
A more important reason for
not wanting the police here.
1106
01:14:57,546 --> 01:14:59,799
For wanting me out of this
house as quickly as possible.
1107
01:15:01,265 --> 01:15:02,936
As a matter of fact, you are right.
1108
01:15:03,339 --> 01:15:04,889
Now we get down to brass tacks.
1109
01:15:09,192 --> 01:15:11,134
Did it concern Miss Fiske by any chance?
1110
01:15:12,843 --> 01:15:14,271
It would and it does.
1111
01:15:15,303 --> 01:15:18,769
I met her in town today.
She's coming back.
1112
01:15:21,002 --> 01:15:24,068
She's coming back?
- And why shouldn't she?
1113
01:15:25,444 --> 01:15:27,138
I thought she'd gone for good.
1114
01:15:27,641 --> 01:15:29,345
How utterly absurd of you, Albert.
1115
01:15:29,950 --> 01:15:32,232
There has never been any
question of her not coming back.
1116
01:15:33,753 --> 01:15:35,532
Why didn't you say
so in the first place?
1117
01:15:35,748 --> 01:15:37,942
You played the fool so much
with Louisa and Emily.
1118
01:15:39,190 --> 01:15:40,693
I was afraid you'd blurt it out.
1119
01:15:42,481 --> 01:15:44,355
As it is, I'll have to
break it to them gently.
1120
01:15:44,571 --> 01:15:46,477
Because it means
they will have to go too.
1121
01:15:51,855 --> 01:15:53,989
My little country holiday has
obviously come to an end.
1122
01:15:54,843 --> 01:15:56,734
I don't know what the
blazes I'll do in Canada.
1123
01:15:56,950 --> 01:15:59,119
I suppose one can starve there
as well as anywhere else.
1124
01:15:59,677 --> 01:16:00,790
You'll get on.
1125
01:16:01,757 --> 01:16:03,762
I'll give you a little
something to start off with.
1126
01:16:04,659 --> 01:16:05,908
For your mother's sake.
1127
01:16:06,405 --> 01:16:08,376
I suppose I should extend
my most humble thanks.
1128
01:16:08,668 --> 01:16:10,540
No. That from you would be too much.
1129
01:16:11,034 --> 01:16:13,664
If that's all we have to say to each
other, I may as well get up to bed.
1130
01:16:32,163 --> 01:16:34,237
A good night's sleep wouldn't
do you any harm, either.
1131
01:16:35,093 --> 01:16:36,483
You look a bit played out.
1132
01:16:42,139 --> 01:16:43,698
I must lock up first.
1133
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,157
Will I be seeing you in the
morning before I leave?
1134
01:16:49,557 --> 01:16:50,486
Yes.
1135
01:16:59,735 --> 01:17:01,070
I forgot to tell you, auntie.
1136
01:17:02,138 --> 01:17:03,848
I had a funny dream last night.
1137
01:17:05,052 --> 01:17:05,796
Did you?
1138
01:17:08,636 --> 01:17:10,288
I dreamt Miss Fiske was dead.
1139
01:17:17,761 --> 01:17:20,112
Goodnight, auntie.
- Goodnight, Albert.
1140
01:18:52,767 --> 01:18:54,268
Miss Fiske ..
1141
01:19:06,554 --> 01:19:07,625
Albert.
1142
01:19:08,620 --> 01:19:09,497
Albert!
1143
01:19:48,544 --> 01:19:49,617
Good morning, Bates.
1144
01:19:49,833 --> 01:19:52,997
Miss Creed ordered me. It's about the
train, but she didn't say which one.
1145
01:19:53,823 --> 01:19:54,626
Bates.
1146
01:19:55,260 --> 01:19:56,975
Cancel it. Miss Creed's
not feeling well.
1147
01:19:57,382 --> 01:19:59,134
Nothing serious I hope, sir?
1148
01:19:59,716 --> 01:20:00,845
No. Nothing serious.
1149
01:20:01,576 --> 01:20:03,714
In that case, I'd better hop along.
1150
01:20:11,215 --> 01:20:13,479
She did look ill when I
took in her early tea.
1151
01:20:13,844 --> 01:20:15,160
I wish we hadn't done it.
1152
01:20:15,376 --> 01:20:17,754
Pull yourself together.
You'll ruin everything. Go on upstairs.
1153
01:20:18,116 --> 01:20:20,071
She might have died.
- Shut up.
1154
01:20:22,419 --> 01:20:24,304
Well she didn't. And we
proved what we wanted.
1155
01:20:24,605 --> 01:20:27,046
Miss Fiske is dead and she knows it.
- I wonder when she died.
1156
01:20:27,262 --> 01:20:30,193
One more go, and I'll tell you when
and how, she died. Now, go on upstairs.
1157
01:20:32,234 --> 01:20:33,778
What did Bates want, Albert?
1158
01:20:34,469 --> 01:20:37,339
He brought the news from the outside
world. It will tickle you to death.
1159
01:20:37,669 --> 01:20:39,500
Wigs and whiskers are
coming back in again.
1160
01:20:39,795 --> 01:20:41,748
I don't think this is a
time for joking, Albert.
1161
01:20:42,024 --> 01:20:43,268
With Ellen the way she is.
1162
01:20:43,484 --> 01:20:45,673
You take this thing too seriously,
my old brussels sprout.
1163
01:20:45,906 --> 01:20:48,296
She was walking in her sleep
and had a nightmare. That's all.
1164
01:20:48,857 --> 01:20:50,738
It wasn't a nightmare, Albert.
1165
01:20:52,979 --> 01:20:56,425
Oh .. what was it then?
- She says she saw a ghost.
1166
01:20:58,326 --> 01:21:00,241
In that case, lay another
place for breakfast.
1167
01:21:01,837 --> 01:21:04,083
Do you really think
it was a ghost, Emily?
1168
01:21:04,814 --> 01:21:08,147
If it were only a nightmare,
we wouldn't have heard it too.
1169
01:21:09,095 --> 01:21:12,379
Heard what?
- The music. Miss Fiske's music.
1170
01:21:13,216 --> 01:21:14,174
You know, Emily.
1171
01:21:14,512 --> 01:21:16,786
I'm sometimes afraid Miss Fiske
will get the better of Ellen.
1172
01:21:17,358 --> 01:21:20,210
I sometimes think she wants
to come back and turn us out.
1173
01:21:20,570 --> 01:21:23,299
I think Miss Fiske is here .. now.
1174
01:21:24,166 --> 01:21:27,506
Well .. what are you
two whispering about?
1175
01:21:28,354 --> 01:21:30,821
Hadn't you better go for your walk now?
- Yes, Ellen.
1176
01:21:31,124 --> 01:21:32,605
Anything you say, Ellen.
1177
01:21:46,684 --> 01:21:48,838
Do you think you're
strong enough to be up?
1178
01:21:49,303 --> 01:21:52,031
Yes, dear. I'm quite alright now.
- Hadn't you better have a doctor?
1179
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,336
No. A doctor couldn't do any good.
1180
01:22:01,118 --> 01:22:03,274
Why are you two standing
there like a couple of owls?
1181
01:22:04,315 --> 01:22:05,674
Emily has been frightening me.
1182
01:22:05,890 --> 01:22:07,724
You've been imagining
things, both of you.
1183
01:22:07,940 --> 01:22:09,719
Now, run along for your walk.
1184
01:22:10,194 --> 01:22:12,573
Whatever you say, Ellen. You know best.
1185
01:22:47,533 --> 01:22:48,748
Good morning, aunt Ellen.
1186
01:22:52,429 --> 01:22:53,848
We didn't expect you down today.
1187
01:22:55,144 --> 01:22:56,748
Why aren't you ready yet?
1188
01:22:57,416 --> 01:22:58,898
Bates will be here at any moment.
1189
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:01,876
Bates has been here and
gone .. I sent him away.
1190
01:23:02,599 --> 01:23:04,832
What do you mean by interfering
with my arrangements?
1191
01:23:05,087 --> 01:23:07,308
I didn't like to go and leave
you not feeling well.
1192
01:23:07,829 --> 01:23:09,585
I'm quite recovered now, thank you.
1193
01:23:10,535 --> 01:23:12,151
It was a queer turn you had last night.
1194
01:23:13,012 --> 01:23:13,913
What happened?
1195
01:23:16,155 --> 01:23:17,012
Nothing.
1196
01:23:17,529 --> 01:23:19,792
You know, you should really do
something about your nerves.
1197
01:23:20,064 --> 01:23:22,710
This isn't the first time you've walked
in your sleep, according to Emily.
1198
01:23:23,866 --> 01:23:24,996
What's Emily told you?
1199
01:23:25,212 --> 01:23:26,370
Just the usual chatter.
1200
01:23:27,566 --> 01:23:30,648
They do say that people who walk in
their sleep have a guilty conscience.
1201
01:23:32,807 --> 01:23:34,722
What's behind that remark, Albert?
1202
01:23:35,877 --> 01:23:36,788
Nothing.
1203
01:23:56,997 --> 01:23:58,016
You know.
1204
01:23:58,692 --> 01:23:59,725
Uhuh.
1205
01:24:07,734 --> 01:24:09,783
Then it was you last night?
- Yes.
1206
01:24:10,635 --> 01:24:12,786
Me and Lucy.
- She knows too?
1207
01:24:13,435 --> 01:24:16,579
Not what I know. That's something you
and I are going to keep to ourselves.
1208
01:24:17,454 --> 01:24:19,302
Provided of course, you treat me right.
1209
01:24:21,351 --> 01:24:22,852
What are you going to do?
1210
01:24:24,955 --> 01:24:26,342
As I said, I'm very happy here.
1211
01:24:26,974 --> 01:24:29,880
I think with your financial help I'll
be able to adjust things at the bank.
1212
01:24:30,486 --> 01:24:33,462
And we can all settle down in peace.
A contented little family.
1213
01:24:38,699 --> 01:24:40,639
You mean, you propose
to go on living here?
1214
01:24:41,042 --> 01:24:42,511
With me?
- Why not?
1215
01:24:43,380 --> 01:24:45,003
You'd never be quite sure, would you?
1216
01:24:45,991 --> 01:24:47,704
You might not enjoy your meals.
1217
01:24:51,328 --> 01:24:53,741
You wouldn't dare .. a second time.
1218
01:24:54,750 --> 01:24:57,031
It takes a lot of courage to
kill for the first time, Albert.
1219
01:24:57,830 --> 01:25:00,317
Once you've sold your soul to
the Devil it becomes easier.
1220
01:25:01,558 --> 01:25:02,675
Much easier.
1221
01:25:03,887 --> 01:25:07,713
Alright .. give me £500 and I'll clear
out for good. And keep my mouth shut.
1222
01:25:07,933 --> 01:25:10,215
I'm not afraid of you, Albert.
And your shabby little tricks.
1223
01:25:10,666 --> 01:25:13,323
In the middle of the night, you may
fancy yourself cutting quite a figure.
1224
01:25:13,980 --> 01:25:15,595
It's broad daylight now.
1225
01:25:16,055 --> 01:25:17,426
[ Door knocks ]
1226
01:25:22,761 --> 01:25:23,944
It's those nuns.
1227
01:25:24,482 --> 01:25:27,362
Get that out of sight.
And yourself with it.
1228
01:25:31,659 --> 01:25:33,002
[ Door knocks ]
1229
01:25:38,532 --> 01:25:41,311
Good day, Sisters.
- I must talk to you, right away.
1230
01:25:41,857 --> 01:25:43,121
Are you alone?
- Yes.
1231
01:25:43,889 --> 01:25:44,905
What's the matter?
1232
01:25:45,241 --> 01:25:48,898
It's really none of my business
and I shouldn't have come but ..
1233
01:25:49,781 --> 01:25:52,419
The police. They've been to the Priory.
- What about?
1234
01:25:52,973 --> 01:25:54,653
They're searching for a young man.
1235
01:25:55,095 --> 01:25:57,671
Who stole money from a
bank over Gravesend way.
1236
01:25:58,212 --> 01:26:01,295
And from the description,
I suspect it was your nephew.
1237
01:26:01,945 --> 01:26:05,639
I thought if he were told, he might
have a chance to do the right thing.
1238
01:26:06,213 --> 01:26:07,596
And give himself up.
1239
01:26:08,675 --> 01:26:10,261
It is your nephew?
- Yes.
1240
01:26:10,825 --> 01:26:14,130
But they mustn't search here.
- They've gone to the Coyne farm first.
1241
01:26:14,553 --> 01:26:16,139
I heard one of them say so.
1242
01:26:17,097 --> 01:26:20,813
Oh Miss Ellen. Have I done
wrong in coming to warn you?
1243
01:26:22,345 --> 01:26:23,773
I don't know, Sister.
1244
01:26:24,730 --> 01:26:26,719
I had a brother rather like that.
1245
01:26:27,632 --> 01:26:28,938
He went wrong too.
1246
01:26:30,148 --> 01:26:33,618
People are so easily lost, aren't they?
1247
01:26:34,524 --> 01:26:35,575
Yes they are.
1248
01:26:36,083 --> 01:26:38,511
Poor girl. You have so many burdens.
1249
01:26:39,161 --> 01:26:40,320
If you refer to Albert.
1250
01:26:40,901 --> 01:26:42,388
He means absolutely nothing to me.
1251
01:26:43,143 --> 01:26:44,543
No-one does, for that matter.
1252
01:26:45,350 --> 01:26:46,843
Except Emily and Louisa.
1253
01:26:48,365 --> 01:26:53,486
If, any time, we can do anything to make
things easier for you or your sisters ..
1254
01:26:54,242 --> 01:26:56,078
Don't hesitate to turn to us.
1255
01:26:56,401 --> 01:26:58,181
That's very kind of you, Sister Theresa.
1256
01:26:58,843 --> 01:27:00,509
But you know, we're not of your faith.
1257
01:27:01,152 --> 01:27:04,017
In my Father's house are many mansions.
1258
01:27:10,324 --> 01:27:11,797
Blimey, I thought they'd never go.
1259
01:27:12,013 --> 01:27:13,715
Thanks for putting in
a good word for me.
1260
01:27:15,247 --> 01:27:16,837
The Coyne farm, is it?
1261
01:27:17,115 --> 01:27:19,332
That will give me a chance to
get behind them to the river.
1262
01:27:19,548 --> 01:27:21,951
Hurry. There's no time to lose.
- Yes, I'll get my clothes.
1263
01:27:36,482 --> 01:27:37,496
Lucy.
1264
01:27:38,970 --> 01:27:40,574
Why are you staring at me like that?
1265
01:27:47,259 --> 01:27:48,389
You've been listening.
1266
01:27:52,279 --> 01:27:53,011
Lucy.
1267
01:27:53,847 --> 01:27:55,077
Lucy, come back.
1268
01:27:56,673 --> 01:27:57,922
Lucy, come back.
1269
01:28:00,607 --> 01:28:01,729
What's up?
1270
01:28:04,948 --> 01:28:05,763
What is it?
1271
01:28:06,671 --> 01:28:07,700
Lucy's run off.
1272
01:28:08,543 --> 01:28:09,842
She was listening.
1273
01:28:11,899 --> 01:28:13,091
Turn me in, would she?
1274
01:28:13,589 --> 01:28:15,946
I've got to move fast.
Where's that money and boat ticket?
1275
01:28:21,783 --> 01:28:23,304
You mean, she heard all about that?
1276
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:28,225
Yes.
1277
01:28:29,117 --> 01:28:31,860
Hey .. you'd better
make a dash for it too.
1278
01:28:46,271 --> 01:28:47,740
Don't stand there mooning about.
1279
01:28:48,092 --> 01:28:49,909
Put your things on and
let's get out of here.
1280
01:28:52,816 --> 01:28:53,999
I'm not going.
1281
01:28:56,844 --> 01:28:58,130
Are you out of your mind?
1282
01:29:01,266 --> 01:29:03,883
You know what they'll do to you?
- You'd better hurry, Albert.
1283
01:29:04,966 --> 01:29:06,581
Well, if that don't beat the cards.
1284
01:29:08,780 --> 01:29:09,710
Well then ..
1285
01:29:11,785 --> 01:29:14,516
So long Ellen .. no hard feelings.
1286
01:29:49,217 --> 01:29:50,486
Ellen, it was so funny.
1287
01:29:50,849 --> 01:29:51,893
We just saw Albert.
1288
01:29:52,306 --> 01:29:53,808
He was playing 'tag' with some men.
1289
01:29:54,130 --> 01:29:56,069
He didn't win. They caught him.
1290
01:29:56,413 --> 01:29:57,556
He got quite annoyed.
1291
01:30:00,436 --> 01:30:02,922
Ellen, look.
We found a lot of jackdaw feathers.
1292
01:30:03,297 --> 01:30:05,846
We're going to tie them into
bundles and make little dusters.
1293
01:30:07,021 --> 01:30:08,492
Where are you going?
1294
01:30:10,172 --> 01:30:11,816
I'm going to Coyne farm.
1295
01:30:12,298 --> 01:30:14,852
There are some gentlemen there from
Gravesend and I want to see them.
1296
01:30:15,068 --> 01:30:16,974
You won't bring them
back here, will you Ellen.
1297
01:30:17,228 --> 01:30:19,134
It's so nice and peaceful by ourselves.
1298
01:30:20,007 --> 01:30:22,812
No, dear. I'll try not to
bring them back here.
1299
01:30:31,833 --> 01:30:35,636
You have been happy here, haven't you?
- We are happy here, aren't we Emily?
1300
01:30:35,852 --> 01:30:38,249
Yes .. it's much better than London.
1301
01:30:38,547 --> 01:30:40,897
It's so good of you to have
bought this house for us.
1302
01:30:41,242 --> 01:30:43,035
You have been clever, Ellen.
1303
01:31:06,500 --> 01:31:07,632
How long will you be?
1304
01:31:08,778 --> 01:31:10,031
I don't know, dear.
1305
01:31:10,562 --> 01:31:12,115
Maybe quite a time.
1306
01:31:13,116 --> 01:31:15,317
I think I shall go down
to The Priory tomorrow.
1307
01:31:15,914 --> 01:31:18,728
I should like to see the things the
Reverend Mother collected on the marsh.
1308
01:31:18,965 --> 01:31:20,045
I'll go with you.
1309
01:31:26,793 --> 01:31:29,371
Goodbye, Ellen .. don't worry about us.
1310
01:31:29,816 --> 01:31:31,460
We can look after ourselves.
1311
01:32:12,774 --> 01:32:13,678

Ellen Creed, a proud spinster fallen on hard times, has spent the past two years as housekeeper and companion to her old friend Leonora Fiske, a wealthy retiree who in her youth had been a chorus girl "of easy virtue". Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.
One day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.
Ellen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.
Ellen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.
Some nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.
Albert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a "sprained wrist." Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.
Albert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men. Ellen smiles, dons her coat and hat, tells the sisters she's going to see some men, kisses them goodbye and departs into the fog.

Ellen.
2
00:02:16,275 --> 00:02:18,207
Yes, Miss Fiske.
- Is there any mail for me?
3
00:02:18,783 --> 00:02:20,449
No, just this one letter.
4
00:02:22,257 --> 00:02:24,580
No sign of Bates yet?
- Not yet.
5
00:02:25,271 --> 00:02:27,122
Oh dear, I do hope you
won't miss your train.
6
00:02:28,288 --> 00:02:29,130
I mustn't.
7
00:02:32,003 --> 00:02:34,632
Oh Lucy, hurry with that bag.
- Just coming, Miss.
8
00:02:39,861 --> 00:02:40,533
Ellen.
9
00:02:40,937 --> 00:02:42,986
That business I want you
to see about in London.
10
00:02:43,703 --> 00:02:45,281
This is for Mr Scott at the bank.
11
00:02:45,872 --> 00:02:47,797
It's about those Brazilian
bonds of mine.
12
00:02:48,116 --> 00:02:50,463
The way the market is this week,
I think they ought to be ..
13
00:02:51,108 --> 00:02:53,011
Get outside.
Keep your eyes open for Bates.
14
00:02:53,367 --> 00:02:54,154
Yes, Miss.
15
00:02:57,364 --> 00:02:59,365
And this address is
just off Berkeley Square.
16
00:02:59,637 --> 00:03:02,745
Go to the servant's entrance and
ask for Mr Blake. He's the butler.
17
00:03:02,990 --> 00:03:06,248
Say you've come from me with
a message for Lord Cardington.
18
00:03:06,501 --> 00:03:08,999
And will he give it to his
Lordship .. privately.
19
00:03:10,145 --> 00:03:11,726
Ellen, you aren't paying attention.
20
00:03:12,861 --> 00:03:14,130
But I am, Miss Fiske.
21
00:03:15,291 --> 00:03:16,862
What would be the best time to call?
22
00:03:18,183 --> 00:03:20,515
Harry always used to dine around eight.
23
00:03:21,648 --> 00:03:23,869
You call about half past seven.
- Yes, very well.
24
00:03:24,511 --> 00:03:25,441
You seem upset.
25
00:03:26,165 --> 00:03:27,082
Bad news?
26
00:03:28,607 --> 00:03:30,395
I don't want to bother
you with my troubles.
27
00:03:31,555 --> 00:03:33,845
It isn't a question of bothering
me with your troubles.
28
00:03:34,385 --> 00:03:36,059
You've become almost like my daughter.
29
00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:40,033
The letter is from my sisters,
Emily and Louisa.
30
00:03:40,723 --> 00:03:42,666
They're very unhappy back
in London without me.
31
00:03:43,371 --> 00:03:46,159
After all, I only saw them once since
I came to work for you, Miss Fiske.
32
00:03:46,627 --> 00:03:50,075
You'll see them today, won't you?
And everything will be alright, surely.
33
00:03:50,516 --> 00:03:51,365
Miss Fiske.
34
00:03:52,270 --> 00:03:53,239
Bates is coming.
35
00:03:53,677 --> 00:03:54,941
Tell him to hurry himself.
36
00:03:56,902 --> 00:04:00,083
My kind regards to your sisters, Ellen.
- Thank you, Miss Fiske.
37
00:04:05,516 --> 00:04:07,945
I've written them so much about you.
38
00:04:08,818 --> 00:04:10,041
How kind you've been.
39
00:04:10,952 --> 00:04:13,704
Stuff and nonsense.
I'm fond of you. You shouldn't ..
40
00:04:14,411 --> 00:04:16,314
Oh, a lovely juicy one.
41
00:04:18,629 --> 00:04:21,722
Perhaps you'll .. you might allow
them down for a little visit one day?
42
00:04:22,338 --> 00:04:24,174
Oh dear, look what the damp has done.
43
00:04:24,744 --> 00:04:27,291
Certainly, yes.
By all means. At any time.
44
00:04:27,661 --> 00:04:30,625
You know Lucy polished this
table all yesterday afternoon.
45
00:04:31,859 --> 00:04:34,142
Miss Fiske.
- Yes?
46
00:04:34,903 --> 00:04:36,139
It occurred to me that ..
47
00:04:36,694 --> 00:04:40,310
Since they've been so wretched lately,
and you may allow them to visit one day.
48
00:04:40,526 --> 00:04:42,677
Oh that? Yes, indeed. You tell them.
49
00:04:43,191 --> 00:04:45,776
Perhaps in the spring when
it's warm and sunny.
50
00:04:58,452 --> 00:05:01,788
Well .. what I was going to ask was ..
51
00:05:03,656 --> 00:05:06,019
Might I bring them back
with me this time? Now?
52
00:05:06,313 --> 00:05:08,044
Well now, Ellen.
- They won't be a bother.
53
00:05:08,260 --> 00:05:11,100
I promise Miss Fiske .. and it
will mean so much to them.
54
00:05:13,860 --> 00:05:17,056
Very well my dear. You bring with
you by all means. For a day or two.
55
00:05:17,531 --> 00:05:18,974
Thank you, Miss Fiske.
56
00:05:19,913 --> 00:05:22,776
I can't tell you how grateful I am.
- Well don't try, my dear.
57
00:05:23,612 --> 00:05:26,540
He's here, Miss.
- About time. The good-for-nothing.
58
00:05:29,731 --> 00:05:31,919
Ellen, have you got everything?
- Yes, Miss Fiske.
59
00:05:36,257 --> 00:05:37,214
Morning, ma'am.
60
00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:40,040
Bates, you might have been more prompt.
What on earth made you so late?
61
00:05:40,256 --> 00:05:44,233
Her. You can't gallop over the roads
with a lady in her delicate condition.
62
00:05:45,131 --> 00:05:46,985
She's going to throw a calf, she be.
63
00:05:47,329 --> 00:05:49,142
I'm taking her to the vets, I am.
64
00:05:49,580 --> 00:05:53,795
Kindly let her not throw any calves
until you get Miss Ellen to the station.
65
00:05:55,009 --> 00:05:58,324
Calves don't come by timetable, lady.
- Well trains do.
66
00:06:01,093 --> 00:06:02,789
Yes, ma'am.
- Goodbye, Miss Fiske.
67
00:06:03,093 --> 00:06:05,919
Goodbye, Miss Ellen.
- Goodbye, Lucy.
68
00:06:08,225 --> 00:06:10,399
Don't forget the allowance
from you-know-who.
69
00:06:10,690 --> 00:06:11,943
No, I shan't.
70
00:06:12,751 --> 00:06:13,558
Goodbye.
71
00:06:14,089 --> 00:06:15,295
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss.
72
00:06:16,549 --> 00:06:18,440
Alright now, there is a
day's work to be done.
73
00:06:43,285 --> 00:06:46,731
La, la, la .. la, la, la.
74
00:06:47,792 --> 00:06:51,445
This is nice. It's very, very nice.
- What's that you have there, Miss?
75
00:06:52,224 --> 00:06:55,022
It's called the New Comic Opera.
It's all the rage in London.
76
00:06:55,382 --> 00:06:56,355
The Mi-Ka-Do.
77
00:06:57,272 --> 00:06:58,355
Mikado.
78
00:06:59,483 --> 00:07:02,512
I used to tour the provinces with
the gentleman who sent it to me.
79
00:07:02,932 --> 00:07:05,701
Look, he signed it for me:
'Rutland Barington'.
80
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,844
'For my adored Leonora
with fond memories of ..'
81
00:07:12,167 --> 00:07:14,032
Never mind about that.
Go and do the dishes.
82
00:07:14,248 --> 00:07:15,034
Yes, Miss.
83
00:07:18,969 --> 00:07:23,159
<i>On a tree by a willow, a little tom-tit</i>.
84
00:07:23,685 --> 00:07:27,337
<i>Sang: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
85
00:07:27,860 --> 00:07:32,012
<i>And I said to him: dicky-bird,
why do you sit?</i>
86
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:36,024
<i>Singing: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
87
00:07:40,329 --> 00:07:41,550
Go on. Don't stop.
88
00:07:41,803 --> 00:07:45,343
Who are you? What are you doing here?
- Listening .. very nice too.
89
00:07:46,281 --> 00:07:48,810
What do you want?
- Ask me in and I'll tell you.
90
00:07:52,312 --> 00:07:55,617
Anyway young man, you may
come in .. but mind your manners.
91
00:07:56,854 --> 00:07:57,794
Alright, Miss.
92
00:08:06,770 --> 00:08:09,470
Isn't this where Miss Ellen Creed lives?
- Yes, she lives here.
93
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:12,146
What do you wish to see her about?
- It's a personal matter.
94
00:08:13,315 --> 00:08:15,156
She's my aunt. I'm Albert Feather.
95
00:08:15,372 --> 00:08:17,189
Your aunt?
- Right.
96
00:08:17,842 --> 00:08:20,039
Her mother was my stepfather's
uncle's second wife.
97
00:08:22,067 --> 00:08:24,058
And where do you come from?
- Gravesend.
98
00:08:24,649 --> 00:08:26,422
I .. I work in a bank there.
99
00:08:26,875 --> 00:08:28,891
It's a very long walk.
Hadn't you better sit down?
100
00:08:29,598 --> 00:08:30,640
Thank you.
101
00:08:33,063 --> 00:08:34,628
I'm afraid it's all been for nothing.
102
00:08:34,844 --> 00:08:37,420
Your aunt Ellen has gone to
London on some business for me.
103
00:08:38,218 --> 00:08:39,462
How long will she be away?
104
00:08:39,790 --> 00:08:41,215
A few days.
- A few?
105
00:08:43,071 --> 00:08:44,665
Blimey. That will be too late.
106
00:08:45,843 --> 00:08:47,270
Is there anything I can do?
107
00:08:47,764 --> 00:08:51,327
I'm Miss Fiske. Your aunt has been
working here as a housekeeper/companion.
108
00:08:52,049 --> 00:08:54,325
I didn't know.
I haven't seen her for five years.
109
00:08:56,066 --> 00:08:57,102
Can I help?
110
00:08:59,294 --> 00:09:00,176
I wonder.
111
00:09:00,570 --> 00:09:01,642
What's the trouble?
112
00:09:02,394 --> 00:09:03,435
Or is it trouble?
113
00:09:04,397 --> 00:09:07,440
It's trouble right enough.
I hardly like to tell you.
114
00:09:08,163 --> 00:09:09,437
Oh, I see.
115
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:11,115
What's the amount?
116
00:09:12,388 --> 00:09:14,291
Twelve pounds.
- How much?
117
00:09:14,952 --> 00:09:17,446
Twelve pounds.
- My goodness. That's a lot of money.
118
00:09:17,662 --> 00:09:19,564
I know. What's worse,
I must have it by tonight.
119
00:09:19,937 --> 00:09:21,177
I'm short at the bank.
120
00:09:21,937 --> 00:09:24,425
It means jail if I can't put it back
before the cashier checks up.
121
00:09:25,063 --> 00:09:27,092
Gambling?
- No. A girl.
122
00:09:28,525 --> 00:09:29,814
Are you engaged to her?
123
00:09:30,198 --> 00:09:31,426
No. She's an actress.
124
00:09:32,294 --> 00:09:34,143
She was in a travelling
company in Gravesend.
125
00:09:34,463 --> 00:09:36,933
What? At the Old Grand?
126
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:39,551
You know it?
- I played there.
127
00:09:40,084 --> 00:09:41,113
Years ago.
128
00:09:41,968 --> 00:09:43,041
You were an actress?
129
00:09:43,648 --> 00:09:45,054
Front row of the chorus.
130
00:09:45,889 --> 00:09:47,868
Fourth from the right.
131
00:09:48,396 --> 00:09:49,710
She was in the chorus too.
132
00:09:50,179 --> 00:09:51,820
I expect you took her out to supper.
133
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:54,542
Then she persuaded you to
go round the shops with her.
134
00:09:55,486 --> 00:09:56,610
How did you know?
135
00:09:58,034 --> 00:09:59,272
'Imagination', my boy.
136
00:10:01,410 --> 00:10:03,427
Anyway, she's over the hills
now to some other town.
137
00:10:03,731 --> 00:10:05,583
And with some other fool.
The little cheat.
138
00:10:10,573 --> 00:10:13,436
Don't worry any more about it.
I'll give you the twelve pounds.
139
00:10:14,686 --> 00:10:15,719
You will?
140
00:10:16,204 --> 00:10:19,080
Perhaps I owe it to you .. in a sense.
141
00:10:20,452 --> 00:10:21,783
Or to some other fool.
142
00:10:22,564 --> 00:10:23,754
You're a life-saver.
143
00:10:24,208 --> 00:10:26,940
Now you just wait here. I'll just
run upstairs and get my keys.
144
00:10:31,814 --> 00:10:33,378
A pity there aren't more like you.
145
00:10:33,970 --> 00:10:35,850
That my, lad, is a matter of opinion.
146
00:10:38,268 --> 00:10:40,807
Do you mind if I tickle on your ivories?
- No, do.
147
00:10:41,403 --> 00:10:42,190
Thank you.
148
00:10:46,990 --> 00:10:50,944
<i>It's the same the whole world over</i>.
149
00:10:52,269 --> 00:10:53,102
<i>It's</i> ..
150
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,183
<i>It's the poor what gets the blame</i>.
151
00:11:04,394 --> 00:11:08,374
<i>While the rich has all the pleasures</i>.
152
00:11:09,117 --> 00:11:12,780
<i>Now, ain't that the blinking shame</i>.
153
00:11:19,442 --> 00:11:20,183
Hello.
154
00:11:20,703 --> 00:11:21,996
You did scare me.
155
00:11:22,780 --> 00:11:24,167
I thought I was hearing things.
156
00:11:24,565 --> 00:11:25,460
You were.
157
00:11:25,819 --> 00:11:26,681
But I mean.
158
00:11:27,344 --> 00:11:28,245
A man's voice.
159
00:11:29,023 --> 00:11:30,360
So funny here.
160
00:11:32,142 --> 00:11:34,993
Doesn't the tide wash up
many male fish, my angel?
161
00:11:35,476 --> 00:11:38,023
A man is as scarce as
hansom cabs in these parts.
162
00:11:38,377 --> 00:11:40,049
That is, all but the old ones.
163
00:11:40,330 --> 00:11:43,699
The young ones go off to London or
some foreign parts as soon as they can.
164
00:11:44,405 --> 00:11:45,990
Are you going off to foreign parts?
165
00:11:46,537 --> 00:11:48,929
It depends.
- Depends on what?
166
00:11:49,541 --> 00:11:51,342
If anyone ever asks me.
167
00:11:52,252 --> 00:11:54,778
I shouldn't think with eyes like them
there would be any difficulty.
168
00:11:55,570 --> 00:11:56,438
Go on.
169
00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:59,288
What's your name?
- Lucy.
170
00:11:59,889 --> 00:12:02,390
What's yours?
- Albert. I'm Miss Creel's nephew.
171
00:12:02,791 --> 00:12:05,195
Funny .. I never heard about you.
172
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,223
That must be remedied.
173
00:12:09,483 --> 00:12:12,253
How about making the most of a male
fish now one has been washed up, eh?
174
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,043
What about a smacker?
- No, you mustn't.
175
00:12:15,952 --> 00:12:17,175
I don't know you.
176
00:12:17,650 --> 00:12:19,993
You needn't know people to kiss them.
- I do.
177
00:12:21,065 --> 00:12:22,481
Alright my girl. It's your loss.
178
00:12:23,722 --> 00:12:25,495
You think a lot of yourself, don't you?
179
00:12:36,494 --> 00:12:39,581
Has Lucy been entertaining you, Albert?
- Eh?
180
00:12:40,669 --> 00:12:42,777
She came in. We had a word or two.
181
00:12:43,910 --> 00:12:46,728
Nice looker, isn't she?
- I didn't notice.
182
00:12:47,252 --> 00:12:50,496
Come now, Albert.
Don't lose your sense of humour.
183
00:12:50,712 --> 00:12:53,147
I hope you're not one of those who
won't benefit from experience.
184
00:12:53,446 --> 00:12:57,232
Otherwise my twelve pounds
will be rather wasted, won't it.
185
00:12:58,006 --> 00:12:59,937
Don't you worry Miss Fiske.
I've had my lesson.
186
00:13:00,307 --> 00:13:01,631
I hope so.
187
00:13:05,189 --> 00:13:07,912
Now .. this is where we
keep our little hoard.
188
00:13:09,396 --> 00:13:11,055
It's an old bake-oven really.
189
00:13:12,795 --> 00:13:14,007
A proper tomb, isn't it?
190
00:13:15,288 --> 00:13:16,161
What's that?
191
00:13:16,603 --> 00:13:18,678
This is what they used to
pull the loaves out with.
192
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:24,941
Of course, we don't use it as a
bake-oven. Hasn't been used in years.
193
00:13:30,894 --> 00:13:31,880
Now then.
194
00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:34,726
Twelve pounds, I think you said.
195
00:13:35,604 --> 00:13:37,505
You couldn't make if fifteen?
- No, I couldn't.
196
00:13:37,721 --> 00:13:38,593
You couldn't?
197
00:13:40,918 --> 00:13:42,648
Do I give you an I.O.U.?
198
00:13:43,001 --> 00:13:44,040
No thank you.
199
00:13:44,453 --> 00:13:45,721
This isn't a loan.
200
00:13:46,087 --> 00:13:49,548
I shouldn't like you to incur the
remorse of not paying it back.
201
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:51,267
You are a daisy.
202
00:13:53,929 --> 00:13:55,680
Very prettily done, Albert.
203
00:14:00,308 --> 00:14:02,327
Now, let's forget all about it.
204
00:14:04,460 --> 00:14:06,870
If you came next week, you'd have
found three of your aunts here.
205
00:14:07,162 --> 00:14:09,049
Ellen is bringing her
sisters back from London.
206
00:14:09,406 --> 00:14:11,513
What, the potty ones?
- Potty?
207
00:14:11,729 --> 00:14:13,188
Queer as mice in a cage.
208
00:14:14,466 --> 00:14:16,775
They're quite harmless.
Especially when aunt Ellen's around.
209
00:14:17,257 --> 00:14:20,141
For comfort, they're coming
to stay here for a few days.
210
00:14:20,646 --> 00:14:23,031
They seem to mean quite a
great deal to your aunt Ellen.
211
00:14:23,247 --> 00:14:24,573
Oh, they would.
212
00:14:25,219 --> 00:14:27,164
She's looked after them
since she was a kid.
213
00:14:27,426 --> 00:14:30,676
She's watched over them like they were
a couple of perishing babes-in-arms.
214
00:14:31,397 --> 00:14:34,292
I think that's very commendable of her.
- Perhaps, but ..
215
00:14:34,796 --> 00:14:36,355
Think of all the fun she's missing.
216
00:14:37,398 --> 00:14:40,282
What, for example?
- You know.
217
00:14:41,511 --> 00:14:42,582
I see.
218
00:14:43,201 --> 00:14:46,094
I have to be toddling along.
I'll pay you back as soon as I can.
219
00:14:51,506 --> 00:14:54,128
I'd appreciate if you don't mention
our little transaction to aunt Ellen.
220
00:14:54,344 --> 00:14:55,709
Very well. If you like.
221
00:14:56,156 --> 00:14:57,446
How about .. whatsername?
222
00:14:57,987 --> 00:15:00,717
Lucy? Oh she won't say anything.
I'll take care of that.
223
00:15:01,147 --> 00:15:01,848
Thanks.
224
00:15:04,128 --> 00:15:05,104
So long my lady.
225
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,428
And again from the heart. I'll never
forget your kindness as long as I live.
226
00:15:10,954 --> 00:15:12,887
I hope you live a great
deal longer than that.
227
00:15:41,690 --> 00:15:45,882
Isn't it funny, Ellen? You can't see
the wind and you can't touch it.
228
00:15:46,164 --> 00:15:47,202
But it's there.
229
00:15:48,220 --> 00:15:51,549
I think you'd better have this round
you, dear. It's getting quite chilly.
230
00:15:52,323 --> 00:15:54,061
Listen .. what's that?
231
00:15:54,324 --> 00:15:56,455
Those are The Priory bells, dear.
From over the marshes.
232
00:15:56,671 --> 00:15:58,875
Oh .. I shan't like that.
233
00:16:00,388 --> 00:16:03,269
She hates bells.
- Especially church bells.
234
00:16:03,959 --> 00:16:06,415
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong.
235
00:16:06,823 --> 00:16:08,452
Aren't the marshes pretty.
236
00:16:09,396 --> 00:16:11,378
The grass is too long and untidy.
237
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,566
If I had a knife and a bit of string,
I'd cut it and tie it up in bundles.
238
00:16:18,823 --> 00:16:21,809
Are there any sheep here on the marshes?
- Yes, Miss.
239
00:16:22,119 --> 00:16:25,040
I think sheep are so clever to
chew their cud the way they do.
240
00:16:25,490 --> 00:16:26,918
It's very difficult.
241
00:16:27,875 --> 00:16:29,030
I've tried.
242
00:16:31,415 --> 00:16:34,749
You ought to be a sailor, Miss.
They're always chewing tobacco.
243
00:16:35,584 --> 00:16:37,415
The man I was to marry was a sailor.
244
00:16:38,195 --> 00:16:39,482
He gave me this.
245
00:16:40,242 --> 00:16:42,105
It's all I have to remember him by.
246
00:16:43,219 --> 00:16:44,631
He was wrecked at sea.
247
00:16:46,036 --> 00:16:47,692
They were all drowned.
248
00:16:48,609 --> 00:16:50,781
It must have been a bit of
sadness for you, Missy.
249
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,617
Oh no. I've quite forgotten
what he looked like.
250
00:16:53,867 --> 00:16:58,114
I saw a drowned man once. They took
him out of the Thames. He was green.
251
00:16:59,726 --> 00:17:00,800
Frogs.
252
00:17:01,614 --> 00:17:03,598
There must be lots of frogs.
253
00:17:04,872 --> 00:17:07,194
We used to have such
fun with them at home.
254
00:17:07,942 --> 00:17:11,767
We used to put them on the dining-table
and make them jump in the marmalade pot.
255
00:17:24,590 --> 00:17:27,124
Look. There's a bird's nest.
- So there is.
256
00:17:27,425 --> 00:17:29,585
It must be last summer's.
- I should like to have that.
257
00:17:29,801 --> 00:17:30,956
Bates, stop please.
258
00:17:33,961 --> 00:17:35,709
Oh .. I have it.
259
00:17:37,576 --> 00:17:40,244
Isn't it beautiful?
- Oh dear, it's all cobwebby.
260
00:17:41,088 --> 00:17:43,437
And it has a horrid smell.
- It mustn't be wasted.
261
00:17:43,773 --> 00:17:46,676
I shall save it until next year
and then I'll put it back again.
262
00:17:47,792 --> 00:17:49,568
Who knows where we'll be next year?
263
00:17:50,919 --> 00:17:53,493
Not in London anyway. You promised that.
264
00:17:54,646 --> 00:17:56,807
Yes, I promised that.
- Look.
265
00:17:59,651 --> 00:18:02,019
Louisa .. how did that happen?
266
00:18:02,290 --> 00:18:03,334
She did it.
- Who?
267
00:18:03,721 --> 00:18:04,985
That woman in London.
268
00:18:05,980 --> 00:18:08,599
She didn't give us enough food either.
- 'Discipline' she said.
269
00:18:09,276 --> 00:18:11,196
Louisa used to cry all night.
270
00:18:11,605 --> 00:18:13,863
I didn't. She couldn't discipline me.
271
00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:17,371
We'll be alright here
though with Miss Fiske.
272
00:18:17,911 --> 00:18:18,927
She won't beat us.
273
00:18:20,371 --> 00:18:22,086
No darling, she won't beat you.
274
00:18:23,299 --> 00:18:24,774
No-one will again. Ever.
275
00:18:35,203 --> 00:18:38,132
Now remember what I told you both.
You're not to talk too much.
276
00:18:38,505 --> 00:18:40,175
Wait until Miss Fiske knows you better.
277
00:18:40,391 --> 00:18:42,433
How can she get to know
us better if we don't talk?
278
00:18:43,833 --> 00:18:45,955
Come along dear.
Bates, get the luggage, will you.
279
00:18:46,171 --> 00:18:47,147
Yes, ma'am.
280
00:18:55,788 --> 00:18:57,441
They look harmless.
- What, Miss?
281
00:18:58,044 --> 00:19:00,065
Never mind. Go and put the kettle on.
- Yes, Miss.
282
00:19:07,201 --> 00:19:09,332
Well, here we are.
- I'm glad.
283
00:19:09,821 --> 00:19:12,750
Miss Fiske .. my sister
Emily, my sister Louisa.
284
00:19:13,012 --> 00:19:15,614
How do you do, Emily?
- We're very glad to be here.
285
00:19:16,355 --> 00:19:18,625
Louisa.
- I don't like people to touch me.
286
00:19:20,092 --> 00:19:22,203
I'm afraid Miss Fiske will
think you're very rude.
287
00:19:22,637 --> 00:19:25,893
They're rather tired, poor dears.
- I never get tired.
288
00:19:26,246 --> 00:19:28,424
I sometimes walk about
the house all night.
289
00:19:29,354 --> 00:19:32,358
Do you indeed?
- No, of course she doesn't, Miss Fiske.
290
00:19:35,582 --> 00:19:37,090
What beautiful furniture.
291
00:19:37,766 --> 00:19:40,401
Just like we used to have
before we lost all our money.
292
00:19:40,705 --> 00:19:44,104
Some of these <i>are </i>our things, dear.
Miss Fiske bought them at my Curio Shop.
293
00:19:44,499 --> 00:19:45,716
I want my tea.
294
00:19:45,982 --> 00:19:49,687
Emily, see .. here's the
grand champ himself.
295
00:19:50,198 --> 00:19:52,303
Remember when father bought him for us?
296
00:19:52,874 --> 00:19:54,913
I wonder if his head still nods.
297
00:19:55,230 --> 00:19:57,850
Ding-dong, ding-dong ..
- Louisa, dear.
298
00:19:58,188 --> 00:20:00,094
Bates, be careful.
You'll scratch the furniture.
299
00:20:00,329 --> 00:20:01,719
Very good, ma'am.
300
00:20:07,149 --> 00:20:09,201
I must say you've brought
enough luggage with you.
301
00:20:09,549 --> 00:20:11,220
We've brought everything.
- Everything?
302
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,760
We had to.
- Why?
303
00:20:13,089 --> 00:20:14,453
When they sent for the police.
304
00:20:14,787 --> 00:20:17,483
Now, my dears. I'm sure all this
can't possibly interest Miss Fiske.
305
00:20:17,819 --> 00:20:19,779
I think we should go up
and rest a bit before tea.
306
00:20:20,125 --> 00:20:22,023
Whatever you say, Ellen.
- Come along, Emily.
307
00:20:22,239 --> 00:20:24,948
That smelly train was very dirty.
308
00:20:25,188 --> 00:20:28,708
She's always fussing about the dirt.
I hope you keep things tidy here.
309
00:20:28,924 --> 00:20:32,483
Cleanliness is next to
Godliness .. don't you agree?
310
00:20:33,018 --> 00:20:35,985
Well .. I'm quite clean, I believe.
311
00:20:36,652 --> 00:20:39,005
But I don't know that
I'm particularly Godly.
312
00:20:39,668 --> 00:20:41,267
I thought you were a Roman.
313
00:20:41,837 --> 00:20:42,824
Isn't that yours?
314
00:20:43,077 --> 00:20:45,458
Miss Fiske is a Roman, dear.
And a very devoted one.
315
00:20:45,929 --> 00:20:47,614
Come along Louisa, Emily.
316
00:20:47,957 --> 00:20:50,102
Father, didn't approve of Romans.
317
00:20:52,032 --> 00:20:53,290
And neither do I.
318
00:21:13,724 --> 00:21:16,116
I expect it's one of those boobies.
319
00:21:16,588 --> 00:21:20,641
Miss Emily was drawing cat's faces on
brown paper yesterday when you were out.
320
00:21:21,138 --> 00:21:23,357
I can't stand it. I can't stand it.
321
00:21:23,721 --> 00:21:26,634
My lovely paisley shawl. It's ruined.
322
00:21:27,927 --> 00:21:31,189
You'd better get some vinegar and see
if you can do something about this spot.
323
00:21:31,443 --> 00:21:32,256
Yes, Miss.
324
00:21:32,810 --> 00:21:35,900
I'm utterly exhausted clearing
up after their messes.
325
00:21:36,172 --> 00:21:38,204
I don't wonder, Miss. So am I.
326
00:21:38,529 --> 00:21:42,030
And you should see their
bedroom. It's like a goat's-pen.
327
00:21:42,483 --> 00:21:45,783
I know it. If it isn't one
thing, it's another.
328
00:21:46,153 --> 00:21:49,633
For the last six weeks were like living
in the middle of Piccadilly Circus.
329
00:21:50,566 --> 00:21:52,478
My heart won't stand it.
330
00:21:53,336 --> 00:21:55,144
Go and get my smelling salts.
331
00:21:56,829 --> 00:21:59,720
Where are they, Miss?
- In the usual place, of course.
332
00:21:59,984 --> 00:22:01,928
Nothing is in the usual
place these days.
333
00:22:02,169 --> 00:22:02,822
No.
334
00:22:03,664 --> 00:22:05,532
Well then, get me a cold compress.
335
00:22:06,303 --> 00:22:09,597
I shall lie down and
take a nap while I can.
336
00:22:13,641 --> 00:22:14,627
Miss Fiske.
337
00:22:14,950 --> 00:22:18,862
Yes, what is it? What is it?
- Will they be staying much longer?
338
00:22:20,743 --> 00:22:23,049
They'll have my invitation
to go this evening.
339
00:22:26,420 --> 00:22:30,273
Oh dear, I wonder where Emily has
gone to. She ought to be back by now.
340
00:22:31,513 --> 00:22:33,331
I can't see her anywhere.
341
00:22:33,776 --> 00:22:37,997
I wish I were brave like Emily.
I should like to take long walks too.
342
00:22:38,404 --> 00:22:40,016
And pick up things.
343
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,248
Perhaps I shall be able to
after we've stayed here longer.
344
00:22:44,902 --> 00:22:46,145
I'm sure you will, dear.
345
00:22:46,442 --> 00:22:48,530
I shall be staying here, shan't I?
346
00:22:49,544 --> 00:22:52,354
You're not planning to send us away?
Are you, Ellen?
347
00:22:53,227 --> 00:22:54,739
No dear. Of course I'm not.
348
00:22:55,199 --> 00:22:57,189
This is what you've always promised us.
349
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,885
A little place in the country
where we can always be safe.
350
00:23:01,424 --> 00:23:04,604
Yes .. it's the one thing
I've been working for.
351
00:23:05,415 --> 00:23:07,236
Ever since we had to
give up the old house.
352
00:23:07,574 --> 00:23:10,567
Naturally, Estuary House
could never be like that.
353
00:23:11,114 --> 00:23:12,511
But it's nice enough.
354
00:23:12,898 --> 00:23:14,774
Yes, and Miss Fiske has
been very kind to us.
355
00:23:15,471 --> 00:23:18,924
Miss Fiske .. may I tell
you something, Ellen?
356
00:23:19,743 --> 00:23:21,102
Just one of my secrets.
357
00:23:21,866 --> 00:23:22,931
Of course you may.
358
00:23:23,717 --> 00:23:25,589
I don't like Miss Fiske.
359
00:23:27,025 --> 00:23:30,951
Couldn't we send her away? Then it
would <i>really</i> be just the three of us.
360
00:23:31,260 --> 00:23:33,656
But I keep telling you,
Louisa. It's <i>her</i> house.
361
00:23:34,059 --> 00:23:36,189
Oh no. You'll never
make me believe that.
362
00:23:36,987 --> 00:23:38,457
All out lovely things are there.
363
00:23:39,795 --> 00:23:43,336
We'll never have to go away, will we?
- No, darling. I promised you.
364
00:23:44,163 --> 00:23:44,998
Never.
365
00:23:46,020 --> 00:23:48,323
I think Miss Fiske wants us to go.
366
00:23:49,091 --> 00:23:50,341
Both of us.
367
00:23:50,928 --> 00:23:52,812
I'm sure I can persuade
her to let you stay.
368
00:23:54,613 --> 00:23:56,349
Oh dear, I do wish Emily would come.
369
00:23:56,602 --> 00:23:58,912
Maybe we'd better get along
home in case she's waiting there.
370
00:23:59,701 --> 00:24:00,838
Come along, dear.
371
00:24:01,945 --> 00:24:04,810
I don't want her upsetting Miss Fiske
again. She can be very tactless.
372
00:24:23,370 --> 00:24:25,220
Here girl, take this.
373
00:24:25,436 --> 00:24:27,267
Thanks a lot. What are we to do with it?
374
00:24:27,506 --> 00:24:29,709
Put it in the woodshed,
where it belongs.
375
00:24:29,962 --> 00:24:33,268
The woodshed is full. I won't have
you cluttering up my kitchen with it.
376
00:24:33,731 --> 00:24:35,093
Very well then.
377
00:24:44,580 --> 00:24:46,788
Oh dear ..
378
00:24:48,844 --> 00:24:50,225
What is it now?
379
00:24:54,808 --> 00:24:56,535
Wait until Miss Fiske sees this.
380
00:24:57,306 --> 00:24:59,938
What's the matter now? My goodness.
381
00:25:00,154 --> 00:25:02,116
More wood?
- Yes. Miss Emily dumped it.
382
00:25:02,602 --> 00:25:04,986
Never mind. You get out of here.
- I got a nice lot today.
383
00:25:05,672 --> 00:25:08,305
What are you thinking of? Making a
mess with it all over my clean floor.
384
00:25:08,521 --> 00:25:10,394
The girl wouldn't let
me put it in the kitchen.
385
00:25:10,671 --> 00:25:13,708
She's quite right. I told you to stop
bringing in wood. We have enough.
386
00:25:13,924 --> 00:25:16,497
I must tidy up the river
banks. I hate waste.
387
00:25:16,713 --> 00:25:18,995
And I hate litter. Now you
clear it away immediately.
388
00:25:19,239 --> 00:25:21,201
I won't be ordered to do things.
389
00:25:22,767 --> 00:25:24,118
This is too much.
390
00:25:24,496 --> 00:25:26,293
My best polished table.
391
00:25:26,789 --> 00:25:28,933
Look how these shells have scratched it.
392
00:25:29,269 --> 00:25:31,965
What's this? Wet seaweed and a horrid ..
393
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,604
Dead bird.
394
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,561
Leave my bird alone. And my shells.
395
00:25:37,060 --> 00:25:38,248
They are my treasures.
396
00:25:38,610 --> 00:25:41,515
We don't understand expensive things.
It's so long since we had any.
397
00:25:41,981 --> 00:25:44,044
I know it's very simple of me.
But I am simple.
398
00:25:44,260 --> 00:25:46,087
Emily .. what's wrong?
399
00:25:46,309 --> 00:25:48,986
I hate her. She threw my
bird into the fireplace.
400
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,507
Emily, control yourself.
401
00:25:50,723 --> 00:25:52,603
See what she's done
with her ridiculous shells.
402
00:25:52,885 --> 00:25:54,816
It will take a month's
polishing to put it right.
403
00:25:55,032 --> 00:25:56,708
I'm sorry Miss Fiske, I'll put it right.
404
00:25:57,276 --> 00:26:00,394
No Ellen, you shan't. I'll do it.
Let me do it. I'll polish it.
405
00:26:00,610 --> 00:26:02,434
Every day, all through the winter.
406
00:26:02,769 --> 00:26:05,511
Sweet of you, Louisa. But I doubt
you'll be here through the winter.
407
00:26:05,969 --> 00:26:07,630
But we shall. Ellen said so.
408
00:26:07,953 --> 00:26:10,046
You're mistaken, Louisa.
I said nothing of the kind.
409
00:26:10,262 --> 00:26:12,701
But you did. You promised.
- Louisa, will you be quiet.
410
00:26:16,013 --> 00:26:18,157
My heavens. This is the last straw.
411
00:26:18,802 --> 00:26:20,996
You'll drive me as crazy as yourselves.
412
00:26:24,448 --> 00:26:25,406
Oh, Ellen.
413
00:26:27,312 --> 00:26:28,535
Miss Fiske.
414
00:26:29,134 --> 00:26:31,588
I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to say that, but ..
415
00:26:32,377 --> 00:26:34,890
I've had about as much as I can endure.
416
00:26:36,396 --> 00:26:39,219
Emily .. take Louisa upstairs.
417
00:26:39,889 --> 00:26:41,482
Now, stop your crying, Louisa.
418
00:26:42,358 --> 00:26:44,045
There's nothing to cry about.
419
00:26:45,286 --> 00:26:46,141
Do you hear?
420
00:26:46,743 --> 00:26:48,817
Go upstairs. Both of you.
421
00:26:51,981 --> 00:26:53,380
And close the door behind you.
422
00:26:58,271 --> 00:27:00,113
That was a cruel thing to say.
423
00:27:00,788 --> 00:27:01,944
But it's true.
424
00:27:02,778 --> 00:27:06,123
One with her telescope and the other
with her mania for collecting things.
425
00:27:06,703 --> 00:27:08,149
They are insane, both of them.
426
00:27:08,609 --> 00:27:10,479
Please don't use that word again.
427
00:27:11,078 --> 00:27:12,310
Emily was right.
428
00:27:12,956 --> 00:27:14,664
But then people who
have all they want ..
429
00:27:15,013 --> 00:27:17,979
Never understand how much the smallest
things mean to those who haven't.
430
00:27:18,345 --> 00:27:19,046
Really?
431
00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:21,362
I don't think this calls for a sermon.
432
00:27:22,276 --> 00:27:24,365
I've been more than generous
to you and your sisters.
433
00:27:24,581 --> 00:27:26,750
People have always been very
generous to you, Miss Fiske.
434
00:27:26,966 --> 00:27:29,126
My sisters and I have never had
friends to send <i>us</i> money.
435
00:27:29,379 --> 00:27:31,480
That's hardly my fault, is it.
- No.
436
00:27:31,793 --> 00:27:35,189
Don't you feel you have a responsibility
to those less fortunate than you?
437
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,615
I don't know what you're talking about.
438
00:27:38,441 --> 00:27:40,476
Life hasn't been very
kind to us, Miss Fiske.
439
00:27:40,817 --> 00:27:42,798
Every penny we've ever
had, I've had to work for.
440
00:27:43,014 --> 00:27:45,706
Every penny. But at least
we have our self-respect.
441
00:27:47,024 --> 00:27:48,654
How dare you.
442
00:27:49,634 --> 00:27:51,866
How dare you criticise my life.
443
00:27:52,216 --> 00:27:55,606
Do you think I don't envy women who
have respectability? Who have families?
444
00:27:55,822 --> 00:27:58,890
Who aren't just forgotten and pensioned
off when they lose their stock-in-trade.
445
00:27:59,208 --> 00:28:01,196
Then you can't blame me
for fighting for my family.
446
00:28:01,412 --> 00:28:03,466
Very admirable, but it's
your family and not mine.
447
00:28:03,941 --> 00:28:05,065
Let me tell you this.
448
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,935
Your sisters, insane or not,
have overstayed their welcome.
449
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,611
I invite them here for two days
and they've stayed six weeks.
450
00:28:10,827 --> 00:28:13,450
Or perhaps you were planning
to keep them here forever?
451
00:28:14,485 --> 00:28:16,324
Well .. I had thought ..
452
00:28:17,124 --> 00:28:19,622
That I might pay something out
of my wages for their keep.
453
00:28:19,895 --> 00:28:22,261
Ellen, you're a hypocrite.
You're worse, you're a cheat.
454
00:28:22,937 --> 00:28:26,279
You meant to foist your wretched
brood on me and bleed me white.
455
00:28:26,626 --> 00:28:30,814
And when I saw through your scheme, you
had the insolence to turn and abuse me.
456
00:28:31,124 --> 00:28:32,701
But you've chosen the wrong woman.
457
00:28:32,917 --> 00:28:35,255
You get those sisters of yours
out of this house at once.
458
00:28:35,604 --> 00:28:37,644
And take a month's wages
and go with them.
459
00:28:39,743 --> 00:28:40,815
Miss Fiske.
460
00:29:08,710 --> 00:29:11,039
Ellen .. why aren't you in bed?
461
00:29:11,451 --> 00:29:13,179
Why are you prowling about at this hour?
462
00:29:13,761 --> 00:29:16,786
Miss Fiske, may I come in?
I must talk with you, please.
463
00:29:17,357 --> 00:29:18,516
Well, mind your tongue.
464
00:29:18,764 --> 00:29:20,987
We don't want any more of
this afternoon's unpleasantness.
465
00:29:23,612 --> 00:29:24,936
I'm sorry about that.
466
00:29:25,715 --> 00:29:27,833
I was wrong. I shouldn't
have spoken to you as I did.
467
00:29:28,791 --> 00:29:30,462
No .. you shouldn't.
468
00:29:37,617 --> 00:29:38,744
Miss Fiske.
469
00:29:39,702 --> 00:29:42,303
Do you remember the letter that arrived
the day I went away to London?
470
00:29:42,556 --> 00:29:46,058
Yes .. what about it?
- It was from their landlady.
471
00:29:46,613 --> 00:29:47,747
Emily and Louisa.
472
00:29:48,187 --> 00:29:49,552
Had been a little difficult.
473
00:29:49,893 --> 00:29:51,137
She'd sent for the police.
474
00:29:52,329 --> 00:29:54,369
They were going to be
put away in an institution.
475
00:29:54,764 --> 00:29:57,034
The landlady was quite right.
That's where they belong.
476
00:29:57,393 --> 00:30:00,433
But Miss Fiske, you don't
understand. They're my sisters.
477
00:30:00,820 --> 00:30:02,707
You don't know what I've
gone through for them.
478
00:30:02,923 --> 00:30:05,036
They've no-one else in the
world to turn to but me.
479
00:30:05,740 --> 00:30:08,948
I pleaded with the police to release
them. They agreed on one condition.
480
00:30:09,533 --> 00:30:11,458
That they were to remain
in my personal care.
481
00:30:11,740 --> 00:30:13,336
That I was to be responsible for them.
482
00:30:13,787 --> 00:30:15,440
And if there were any more complaints.
483
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,522
That they were to be put away forever.
That's why I can't send them away.
484
00:30:19,825 --> 00:30:21,889
All this devotion is
very admirable, Ellen.
485
00:30:22,285 --> 00:30:24,471
But I fail to see how I can
help in any way at all.
486
00:30:24,801 --> 00:30:26,903
Oh but you can. You can, Miss Fiske.
487
00:30:27,618 --> 00:30:29,823
I thought perhaps they
might use the attic upstairs.
488
00:30:30,162 --> 00:30:32,379
They'll stay there out of the
way where you don't see them.
489
00:30:32,716 --> 00:30:34,876
They could use the back stairs
when they come in and out.
490
00:30:35,129 --> 00:30:37,055
Ellen, what are you talking about?
491
00:30:37,271 --> 00:30:40,267
I promise they'll never come near you.
You'll never know they're in the house.
492
00:30:40,829 --> 00:30:43,797
I'll look after them myself.
I'll cook their meals for them.
493
00:30:44,387 --> 00:30:46,231
I promise they won't
be any more trouble.
494
00:30:46,913 --> 00:30:49,120
Miss Fiske, they must
be with me, they must.
495
00:30:49,439 --> 00:30:51,590
I'll pay for their keep.
I'll work for nothing.
496
00:30:51,834 --> 00:30:54,509
Please .. oh, please Miss Fiske.
497
00:30:54,829 --> 00:30:56,720
Ellen, have you quite
gone out of your mind?
498
00:30:57,064 --> 00:31:00,126
You must be blind if you can't realise
they'd always be getting in my way.
499
00:31:00,342 --> 00:31:02,612
You pack them off tomorrow.
- But, Miss Fiske. Won't ..?
500
00:31:02,828 --> 00:31:04,369
No Ellen, my mind is made up.
501
00:31:05,471 --> 00:31:09,239
If you want to, you can stay here a few
days until you've found a new situation.
502
00:31:10,018 --> 00:31:12,814
Now run along to bed. And make
certain they leave tomorrow.
503
00:31:14,132 --> 00:31:16,592
You wouldn't want me to be sending
for the police, would you?
504
00:31:18,682 --> 00:31:20,329
Goodnight Ellen. I'm tired.
505
00:31:24,230 --> 00:31:25,186
Goodnight.
506
00:31:48,528 --> 00:31:50,908
But you told her you were
going to send us away.
507
00:31:52,592 --> 00:31:54,344
I'm not going to send you away.
508
00:31:54,732 --> 00:31:56,620
We heard you. We were listening.
509
00:31:57,784 --> 00:31:59,386
Isn't she terrible, Ellen?
510
00:32:00,207 --> 00:32:01,536
She's wicked.
511
00:32:03,006 --> 00:32:04,907
I'm not going to send you away.
512
00:32:06,836 --> 00:32:07,678
Never.
513
00:32:08,554 --> 00:32:11,269
If you're not sending us away,
what are you going to do?
514
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,293
I don't know.
515
00:32:16,674 --> 00:32:17,831
I must think.
516
00:32:30,078 --> 00:32:32,550
I've always wanted
to explore an old castle.
517
00:32:32,971 --> 00:32:35,857
Will it have a dungeon do you think?
- They all have dungeons.
518
00:32:36,191 --> 00:32:36,978
With bats.
519
00:32:37,415 --> 00:32:39,138
No, dear. Bats are in belfries.
520
00:32:39,459 --> 00:32:43,180
There's sure to be secret passageways
and places where they'd hide things.
521
00:32:45,198 --> 00:32:46,346
Like that.
522
00:32:54,259 --> 00:32:58,372
Yes .. I'm sure Miss Fiske has lots
of exciting things hidden in there.
523
00:32:58,588 --> 00:33:00,212
Her jewels, I'm sure.
524
00:33:01,019 --> 00:33:04,181
I've looked in all her boxes and
haven't been able to find them.
525
00:33:04,718 --> 00:33:07,167
Are you both ready?
- Oh yes. Quite.
526
00:33:07,404 --> 00:33:10,004
I managed to pack all
the lunch into one bag.
527
00:33:10,660 --> 00:33:11,630
Mine.
528
00:33:12,914 --> 00:33:15,600
Come here and sit down.
I want to talk to you both.
529
00:33:25,193 --> 00:33:25,808
Now.
530
00:33:26,107 --> 00:33:28,868
I haven't told you the real reason why
you're being sent away for a whole day.
531
00:33:29,589 --> 00:33:32,633
The truth is I want to be entirely
alone with Miss Fiske for a few hours.
532
00:33:32,849 --> 00:33:34,817
Is that why you got rid of Lucy too?
533
00:33:35,131 --> 00:33:37,177
I didn't get rid of Lucy, Emily.
She had a toothache.
534
00:33:37,393 --> 00:33:40,293
Oh Ellen dear, you know that's
not true. She didn't want to go at all.
535
00:33:40,754 --> 00:33:42,833
I said she had a toothache, Louisa.
536
00:33:44,698 --> 00:33:45,628
Now listen.
537
00:33:46,220 --> 00:33:49,408
Last night, while you were both asleep,
I had a long talk with Miss Fiske.
538
00:33:50,131 --> 00:33:52,867
She's tired of the marshes
and wants to travel for a bit.
539
00:33:53,530 --> 00:33:55,633
I've persuaded her to
sell this house to me.
540
00:33:55,849 --> 00:33:58,210
Not really, Ellen?
- We haven't discussed price yet.
541
00:33:58,976 --> 00:34:02,422
That's why I must be alone with her, so
we can talk with nothing to distract us.
542
00:34:02,694 --> 00:34:05,355
She may want more than
you're prepared to pay.
543

I'm prepared to pay
quite a big price, Emily.

Oh, lovely, lovely, lovely.

00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:14,491
Oh Emily, aren't you excited?
- Louisa, be quiet.
546
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:17,415
Now, there's one more thing.
547
00:34:18,401 --> 00:34:19,716
The most important.
548
00:34:35,231 --> 00:34:36,722
You see this bible, both of you?
549
00:34:37,587 --> 00:34:39,899
I want you to swear on it.
By father's memory.
550
00:34:40,590 --> 00:34:43,550
That you'll never repeat a word of my
buying this house as long as you live.
551
00:34:45,940 --> 00:34:46,963
What do I say?
552
00:34:47,581 --> 00:34:48,963
Just say 'I swear'.
553
00:34:49,670 --> 00:34:51,113
Oh .. I swear.
554
00:34:51,554 --> 00:34:52,484
You too, Emily.
555
00:34:52,787 --> 00:34:54,831
I won't swear on the bible. It's wicked.
556
00:34:55,435 --> 00:34:56,571
If you don't Emily ..
557
00:34:56,869 --> 00:34:59,143
I shan't buy the house and I'll
send you both back to London.

Oh Emily, be sensible.

I don't like being made
to do things .. I promise.

That's a sacred oath.

Here's Bates. Hurry now.
There's no time to waste.

Please don't let them get cold.

Have a good time.

May we never meet again.

May we come in?
- Yes.

I'd like to speak to Miss Ellen.
Unless Miss Fiske is back?
577
00:39:29,038 --> 00:39:32,096
No, she's still away. I'll fetch Ellen.

We're making jam.

Good evening.

It isn't a very good one, is it?

No, as a matter of fact it's not.
Cats and dogs.

Good evening, Sisters.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

But we're in the middle of
putting up our quince jam.

Please don't apologise. I'm afraid
we've come on a begging errand.

Our supplier of oil hasn't
arrived from Rochester.

if we might borrow a can until Sunday.

I'm very particular who I know.

For a moment, when I saw the candles
burning, I thought Miss Fiske was back.

She hadn't mentioned she was

No. It was quite unexpected.

in league with the nuns.

- She's taken to lighting those candles.

- Just a tiny thimbleful for me, Albert.
708
00:47:31,252 --> 00:47:32,688
How about you, aunt Ellen?
709
00:47:33,327 --> 00:47:34,716
Nothing for me, thank you.
710
00:47:37,757 --> 00:47:40,199
Now, my Siamese twins.
What about a toast, eh?
711
00:47:40,523 --> 00:47:41,905
I don't know any.
712
00:47:42,140 --> 00:47:44,008
In that case, here's to absent friends.
713
00:47:44,328 --> 00:47:45,464
Absent friends.
714
00:47:46,046 --> 00:47:48,543
Ellen, I suppose we
should think of Miss Fiske.
715
00:48:01,321 --> 00:48:03,604
Who put out those candles?
- What candles?
716
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,445
Oh those.
- It must have been the wind.
717
00:48:10,055 --> 00:48:11,998
Goodnight, Albert.
- Goodnight my lady.
718
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,204
Goodnight, Albert.
- Goodnight.
719
00:48:21,642 --> 00:48:23,379
It wasn't the wind, Ellen.
720
00:48:38,904 --> 00:48:41,109
I say auntie, you've not
turned Roman have you?
721
00:48:41,466 --> 00:48:42,763
I do this for a friend.
722
00:48:48,243 --> 00:48:49,129
Now, Albert.
723
00:48:49,869 --> 00:48:52,134
Let's stop all this 'auntie' nonsense
and get down to cases.
724
00:48:52,862 --> 00:48:54,748
Why have you come here
and what do you want?
725
00:48:55,073 --> 00:48:56,918
Well auntie .. I mean, Ellen.
726
00:48:57,692 --> 00:49:02,208
To cut it fine, I'm taking a compulsory
holiday from my bank over in Gravesend.
727
00:49:02,602 --> 00:49:05,107
In other words, you've lost your job.
- I've given it up.
728
00:49:05,738 --> 00:49:07,522
You haven't done anything
wrong, have you?
729
00:49:09,237 --> 00:49:11,605
I sort-of helped myself to a
little salary I wasn't entitled to.
730
00:49:12,885 --> 00:49:14,393
You mean, you've stolen money.
731
00:49:16,415 --> 00:49:19,181
This is rattling good brandy.
- Answer me, Albert.
732
00:49:21,270 --> 00:49:23,848
You've got it.
- How much?
733
00:49:24,594 --> 00:49:27,402
A small matter of a hundred pounds.
- I'll see.
734
00:49:30,342 --> 00:49:33,271
I suppose you want me to give you the
hundred pounds so you can put it back?
735
00:49:33,515 --> 00:49:36,477
I'm afraid it's too late for that.
They found out, the police.
736
00:49:37,180 --> 00:49:38,164
The police?
737
00:49:38,389 --> 00:49:42,016
A friend passed me the tip they were
coming. So I .. I took French leave.
738
00:49:42,455 --> 00:49:44,956
But .. they'll follow you.
They'll come here.
739
00:49:46,079 --> 00:49:49,774
Don't worry .. no-one knows I've got
relations out here on the marshes.
740
00:49:51,122 --> 00:49:52,699
I'll be safe here for a lifetime.
741
00:49:53,159 --> 00:49:55,319
You're certainly not going
to stay here for a lifetime.
742
00:49:55,769 --> 00:49:57,815
Surely you don't mind me
staying for a while, do you?
743
00:49:58,340 --> 00:50:00,745
Until it all blows over.
- Then what do you propose to do?
744
00:50:01,094 --> 00:50:03,725
Clear out of the country.
America, Australia. Any old where.
745
00:50:04,230 --> 00:50:06,552
I'm .. counting on you to help me.
746
00:50:06,868 --> 00:50:08,188
I need money for my passage.
747
00:50:08,631 --> 00:50:09,630
I'm .. I'm stony.
748
00:50:11,353 --> 00:50:13,246
It won't cost much. Steerage.
749
00:50:13,691 --> 00:50:15,882
I don't see why I should concern
myself with your affairs.
750
00:50:16,414 --> 00:50:17,870
I'll land in prison if you don't.
751
00:50:19,541 --> 00:50:22,420
You're not the sort to turn anybody down
who's in trouble and needed your help.
752
00:50:23,210 --> 00:50:24,969
You wouldn't fail your
own flesh and blood.
753
00:50:25,185 --> 00:50:27,020
I'm no flesh and blood of yours, Albert.
754
00:50:27,468 --> 00:50:29,199
Won't you give me a
chance to start again?
755
00:50:29,415 --> 00:50:30,734
I promise. Cross my heart.
756
00:50:31,090 --> 00:50:33,457
I'll never do anything wrong
again for the rest of my natural.
757
00:50:33,673 --> 00:50:35,143
Let me go.
758
00:50:41,301 --> 00:50:44,030
Very well. I'll do it.
- Bless you, Ellen.
759
00:50:44,415 --> 00:50:46,973
You're a daisy, you are.
- We'll talk about it in the morning.
760
00:50:47,820 --> 00:50:50,180
You can sleep on the sofa tonight.
- I don't mind where I sleep.
761
00:50:50,396 --> 00:50:51,419
But mind you ..
762
00:50:51,635 --> 00:50:54,218
You can only stay until I've
arranged your passage on the boat.
763
00:50:54,434 --> 00:50:57,466
Anything you say,
Ellen old girl .. what's that?
764
00:50:57,983 --> 00:50:59,945
That's just the maid.
She's been out on an errand.
765
00:51:01,006 --> 00:51:02,550
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss?
766
00:51:04,518 --> 00:51:06,220
They'll be a gentleman
staying the night.
767
00:51:06,639 --> 00:51:07,819
A gentleman staying?
768
00:51:08,099 --> 00:51:09,776
A relation. He'll sleep in here.
769
00:51:10,033 --> 00:51:12,679
Now go to your room and change your
wet clothes before you start sneezing.
770
00:51:12,895 --> 00:51:15,090
Yes, Miss .. goodnight.
- Goodnight.
771
00:51:15,306 --> 00:51:16,096
Goodnight.
772
00:51:16,620 --> 00:51:17,557
'Lucy', is it?
773
00:51:19,035 --> 00:51:20,472
Yes .. Lucy.
774
00:51:23,706 --> 00:51:25,687
I fancy that's all for
tonight, aunt Ellen.
775
00:51:26,138 --> 00:51:29,180
I'll just have a weed before
I turn in. The last of the day.
776
00:51:30,306 --> 00:51:32,729
You seem to be taking this
all very lightly, Albert.
777
00:51:33,490 --> 00:51:35,166
You have told me the worst, haven't you?
778
00:51:35,601 --> 00:51:38,110
I mean, there isn't anything else?
- What else?
779
00:51:40,653 --> 00:51:42,212
There are worse things than stealing.
780
00:51:42,987 --> 00:51:43,994
For instance?
781
00:51:45,828 --> 00:51:47,359
No, there's no blood on my hands.
782
00:51:47,743 --> 00:51:49,703
Putting people out calls
for <i>real </i>nerve, you know.
783
00:51:54,270 --> 00:51:55,303
Yes.
784
00:51:59,547 --> 00:52:01,321
Goodnight, Albert.
- Nighty night.
785
00:53:12,967 --> 00:53:15,145
Did you enjoy the sermon, Mr Bates?
786
00:53:15,603 --> 00:53:16,818
Mighty powerful, Miss.
787
00:53:17,293 --> 00:53:18,797
Yes. It was, wasn't it.
788
00:53:20,284 --> 00:53:22,109
But there was a lot I didn't understand.
789
00:53:23,490 --> 00:53:24,866
The part that went ..
790
00:53:25,639 --> 00:53:26,568
How was it?
791
00:53:27,496 --> 00:53:29,004
The wicked flee.
792
00:53:30,087 --> 00:53:32,717
When no man .. pursueth.
793
00:53:34,739 --> 00:53:36,575
But .. but ..
794
00:53:38,561 --> 00:53:41,233
The righteous are as bold as a lion.
795
00:54:08,319 --> 00:54:09,297
Well.
796
00:54:10,743 --> 00:54:12,479
What do you think you're doing?
797
00:54:13,690 --> 00:54:16,840
I fooled around with this padlock
last night and it .. came off.
798
00:54:17,592 --> 00:54:18,689
You shouldn't have.
799
00:54:19,344 --> 00:54:21,297
That's where Miss Fiske
keeps her valuables.
800
00:54:21,551 --> 00:54:23,794
How does she get at them?
With a pickaxe? Look.
801
00:54:25,898 --> 00:54:28,667
Well I never. All bricked up.
802
00:54:29,531 --> 00:54:31,248
I wonder why that was done.
803
00:54:31,530 --> 00:54:33,342
It wasn't that way the
last time I was here.
804
00:54:33,821 --> 00:54:35,868
So you've had your nose
in there before, have you?
805
00:54:36,948 --> 00:54:39,174
Funny what nasty thoughts
people have sometimes, isn't it.
806
00:54:39,390 --> 00:54:41,597
Funny how they're right
sometimes, isn't it.
807
00:54:59,037 --> 00:55:01,443
I wonder why anyone would want
to brick up a place like that?
808
00:55:02,492 --> 00:55:05,171
Maybe Miss Fiske put her jewels
in there before she went away.
809
00:55:05,807 --> 00:55:08,881
You know .. she's not one to take
any chances leaving them about.
810
00:55:09,234 --> 00:55:10,530
Even with your aunt Ellen.
811
00:55:12,817 --> 00:55:15,523
If there are any sparkles in there,
I wouldn't mind having a peep at them.
812
00:55:15,748 --> 00:55:18,262
I'm sure you wouldn't.
- And neither would you, I dare say.
813
00:55:19,833 --> 00:55:24,037
In fact .. I'm sure you'd like the feel
of some around your swan-like neck.
814
00:55:26,610 --> 00:55:28,629
A pretty pink ear like
that calls for diamonds.
815
00:55:29,014 --> 00:55:31,473
A wandering hand like yours
calls for a slap in the face.
816
00:55:31,821 --> 00:55:33,675
It's wicked to slap a
man's face on a Sunday.
817
00:55:33,981 --> 00:55:35,745
The better the day, the better the deed.
818
00:55:36,179 --> 00:55:37,595
That leaves my conscience clear.
819
00:55:42,243 --> 00:55:43,680
I'll scream.
820
00:55:45,098 --> 00:55:46,140
What's that?
821
00:55:52,703 --> 00:55:55,550
What do you think I'm made of?
- Sugar and spice.
822
00:55:56,874 --> 00:55:58,131
And everything nice.
823
00:56:01,849 --> 00:56:03,164
Blimey, you're strong.
824
00:56:06,001 --> 00:56:07,586
It's a wig. Whose is it?
825
00:56:08,854 --> 00:56:10,150
It is Miss Fiske's.
826
00:56:10,705 --> 00:56:12,391
Oh, it's her best one.
827
00:56:13,295 --> 00:56:15,239
She's as bald as a coot.
- Ah.
828
00:56:15,455 --> 00:56:17,042
A wonder she didn't take it with her.
829
00:56:18,291 --> 00:56:19,267
Hello.
830
00:56:19,605 --> 00:56:22,290
Ah, she left a lot of
her fancy dresses too.
831
00:56:23,063 --> 00:56:24,930
Perhaps she'll buy some
new ones up in London?
832
00:56:25,392 --> 00:56:26,938
These are new. Most of them.
833
00:56:27,918 --> 00:56:30,059
You'd better put that back up.
- Alright.
834
00:56:30,285 --> 00:56:31,783
Get up on this chair.
835
00:56:39,798 --> 00:56:41,554
You know, it <i>is</i> odd
she only took one wig.
836
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:45,357
On a trip, anything might happen.
A fire or a gust of wind.
837
00:56:45,751 --> 00:56:46,409
Oh.
838
00:56:47,720 --> 00:56:49,195
Here's Emily coming up the path.
839
00:56:50,109 --> 00:56:51,329
You'd better be off.
840
00:56:57,184 --> 00:56:58,794
Hello my old cup of tea.
841
00:57:00,310 --> 00:57:02,634
What are you doing with those
bull-rushes? Looking for Moses?
842
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,371
You're making fun of me .. naughty boy.
843
00:57:28,649 --> 00:57:31,405
Hello Ducky .. I'm glad you're
back before the others.
844
00:57:31,964 --> 00:57:34,668
It isn't often I have the chance of
a tête-à-tête with the family's fairest.
845
00:57:34,884 --> 00:57:36,672
You're never serious
about anything, Albert.
846
00:57:36,888 --> 00:57:38,846
I was never more serious in my life.
847
00:57:40,212 --> 00:57:42,518
The storm did an enormous
amount of damage.
848
00:57:42,869 --> 00:57:45,494
Roads into Rochester and Gravesend
were completely flooded.
849
00:57:46,258 --> 00:57:48,836
The Postman told me.
- I hope they stay that way.
850
00:57:50,098 --> 00:57:51,558
Allow me, Empress.
851
00:57:52,362 --> 00:57:54,681
There's only one letter today.
It's for Miss Fiske.
852
00:57:55,047 --> 00:57:55,755
Is it?
853
00:58:01,577 --> 00:58:03,226
It's a cosy nest you got here.
854
00:58:03,605 --> 00:58:05,661
What's will happen to you
when Miss Fiske gets back?
855
00:58:05,896 --> 00:58:07,596
Will she let you stay on, do you think?
856
00:58:11,455 --> 00:58:12,701
She isn't coming back.
857
00:58:13,532 --> 00:58:14,548
Why not?
858
00:58:15,342 --> 00:58:16,575
Ellen's bought the house.
859
00:58:19,252 --> 00:58:19,924
Go on.
860
00:58:20,140 --> 00:58:21,241
Yes. It's quite true.
861
00:58:22,049 --> 00:58:23,150
It's a secret though.
862
00:58:23,366 --> 00:58:26,001
Ellen made us swear on the bible
that we wouldn't tell anyone.
863
00:58:26,218 --> 00:58:28,300
But you are one of the family.
So it's alright.
864
00:58:29,873 --> 00:58:31,661
Why should she want
to keep it a secret, eh?
865
00:58:31,877 --> 00:58:33,636
I don't know.
It was done in a great hurry.
866
00:58:33,873 --> 00:58:35,534
Louisa and I were sent off to Rochester.
867
00:58:35,750 --> 00:58:38,669
Then when we came back that night,
Miss Fiske was gone and it was all over.
868
00:58:40,902 --> 00:58:42,862
You won't tell Ellen I told
you, will you, Albert?
869
00:58:43,234 --> 00:58:43,975
No.
870
00:58:45,212 --> 00:58:47,000
We'll make that our
little secret, shall we?
871
00:58:47,335 --> 00:58:48,064
Alright.
872
00:58:50,086 --> 00:58:52,513
It will be rather fun.
Having a secret from Ellen.
873
00:58:53,143 --> 00:58:55,628
She thinks she's the clever one.
But she isn't.
874
00:58:57,109 --> 00:58:57,924
Not always.
875
00:58:59,816 --> 00:59:00,402
No.
876
00:59:01,225 --> 00:59:02,040
Not always.
877
00:59:17,517 --> 00:59:19,294
Albert.
- What?
878
00:59:25,153 --> 00:59:26,418
Good morning.
879
00:59:28,974 --> 00:59:30,034
May we come in?
880
00:59:30,250 --> 00:59:32,261
Who's that?
- A couple of nuns from The Priory.
881
00:59:33,048 --> 00:59:36,099
You talk to them, Albert.
I've got to tidy up the orchard.
882
00:59:47,032 --> 00:59:51,087
Oh .. I didn't know there was
a young man staying here.
883
00:59:51,632 --> 00:59:52,844
Is Miss Ellen about?
884
00:59:53,060 --> 00:59:55,956
Sorry. She's gone over to the church at
Cawley. I'm her nephew, can I help?
885
00:59:56,487 --> 01:00:00,357
We came to return this. She lent us
a little oil last night. We ran short.
886
01:00:00,792 --> 01:00:02,060
Thanks.
- Yes, and this.
887
01:00:02,634 --> 01:00:04,846
The rent for the little field.
Your aunt will understand.
888
01:00:05,106 --> 01:00:06,179
I'll give it to her.
889
01:00:06,395 --> 01:00:08,788
We are so looking forward
to Miss Fiske's return.
890
01:00:09,371 --> 01:00:10,864
She's a dear friend of ours.
891
01:00:11,239 --> 01:00:14,646
Oh .. have you .. heard from her lately?
892
01:00:15,031 --> 01:00:16,218
No, not a word.
893
01:00:16,752 --> 01:00:19,335
I think the Reverend Mother is
a trifle hurt she hasn't written.
894
01:00:19,678 --> 01:00:22,281
In fact, she didn't even tell
us she was going away.
895
01:00:22,777 --> 01:00:25,295
Not very chummy, was it.
- No, it wasn't.
896
01:00:26,837 --> 01:00:28,232
Good morning.
- Good morning.
897
01:01:05,242 --> 01:01:07,671
Now what are you up to?
- Fetch me a knife, Ducky.
898
01:01:15,499 --> 01:01:17,170
What's that?
- A letter for Miss Fiske.
899
01:01:17,511 --> 01:01:19,943
You're not going to open it?
- No. Wouldn't think of it.
900
01:01:24,242 --> 01:01:25,431
What's it say?
901
01:01:26,201 --> 01:01:28,502
'Dear Madam.
Regarding your instructions ..'
902
01:01:28,718 --> 01:01:31,591
'To forward the amount of the
enclosed cheque in 5-pound notes'.
903
01:01:32,239 --> 01:01:36,889
'Your signature appears to differ from
that with which we are acquainted'.
904
01:01:38,793 --> 01:01:41,444
'We should be obliged if you
could kindly confirm same ..'
905
01:01:41,845 --> 01:01:44,354
'By signing it afresh.
In your usual manner'.
906
01:01:48,582 --> 01:01:49,634
Fifty pounds.
907
01:01:50,633 --> 01:01:51,591
Notice the date.
908
01:01:52,218 --> 01:01:53,703
'October 14th'.
909
01:01:54,794 --> 01:01:57,258
That's three days ago.
She's been gone longer than that.
910
01:01:57,803 --> 01:01:59,484
Since the beginning of September.
911
01:02:00,292 --> 01:02:02,329
She probably made it
out from wherever she is.
912
01:02:02,949 --> 01:02:04,986
Yes, she could have. Hey, wait a minute.
913
01:02:06,442 --> 01:02:08,765
In that case, why did they
send the reply to her here?
914
01:02:10,183 --> 01:02:11,666
You see who it's made payable to?
915
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:14,680
Ellen Creed.
916
01:02:15,506 --> 01:02:17,785
What of it? I expect it's
the housekeeping money.
917
01:02:18,380 --> 01:02:21,488
Maybe. Where's the glue-pot?
- Over there.
918
01:02:21,704 --> 01:02:23,015
Get it for me.
919
01:02:28,096 --> 01:02:30,146
Dip your finger in it.
- I should say not.
920
01:02:30,516 --> 01:02:31,817
I've had no hand in this.
921
01:02:33,119 --> 01:02:33,963
Haven't you?
922
01:02:35,383 --> 01:02:37,379
You are a filthy pig.
- Go on. Seal it up.
923
01:02:38,971 --> 01:02:39,930
Go on.
924
01:02:44,402 --> 01:02:46,276
Don't forget.
You're in this as deep as me now.
925
01:02:46,550 --> 01:02:48,124
I wish you'd never come here.
926
01:02:48,888 --> 01:02:51,488
I don't know what comes over
me when you're around.
927
01:02:52,752 --> 01:02:54,483
You won't give me away
to Ellen, will you?
928
01:02:54,699 --> 01:02:56,230
I won't if you keep your mouth shut.
929
01:03:03,357 --> 01:03:06,241
Here come the performing seals.
Not a word, mind you.
930
01:03:17,604 --> 01:03:18,397
Albert.
931
01:03:18,622 --> 01:03:20,252
Hello, aunts .. had a nice pray?
932
01:03:20,492 --> 01:03:22,114
You should have been at church, Albert.
933
01:03:22,576 --> 01:03:24,609
The minister told us all about Hell.
934
01:03:25,016 --> 01:03:27,336
You'd have enjoyed the
bit about the lost souls ..
935
01:03:27,682 --> 01:03:29,251
Sizzling in the bottomless pit.
936
01:03:29,554 --> 01:03:31,970
Would I now? Sounds frightening.
937
01:03:32,540 --> 01:03:34,859
Ellen .. where is Hell?
938
01:03:37,451 --> 01:03:39,443
Hell is like the Kingdom of Heaven.
939
01:03:41,672 --> 01:03:42,552
It is within.
940
01:03:43,037 --> 01:03:43,995
That reminds me.
941
01:03:44,310 --> 01:03:45,926
One of your religious friends was here.
942
01:03:46,258 --> 01:03:49,076
She left you this.
It's the rent for some field or other.
943
01:03:50,580 --> 01:03:52,568
She didn't see you, did she?
- I couldn't avoid it.
944
01:03:52,784 --> 01:03:54,258
That was Sister Theresa.
945
01:03:55,171 --> 01:03:59,138
She's Miss Fiske's friend. She doesn't
like us any more than Miss Fiske did.
946
01:03:59,974 --> 01:04:01,311
Didn't Miss Fiske like you?
947
01:04:01,981 --> 01:04:03,098
She was horrid to us.
948
01:04:03,344 --> 01:04:05,103
Louisa, run upstairs
and change your dress.
949
01:04:05,417 --> 01:04:07,148
You can't sit around
in your best all day.
950
01:04:07,445 --> 01:04:08,575
No. I shan't, shall I.
951
01:04:09,221 --> 01:04:10,348
No. Of course not.
952
01:04:12,538 --> 01:04:13,819
Albert.
- Huh?
953
01:04:14,096 --> 01:04:16,776
I don't want you to mention Miss Fiske
again in front of my sisters.
954
01:04:17,336 --> 01:04:18,819
They quarrelled with her.
955
01:04:19,382 --> 01:04:21,392
And it upsets them very
much to talk about her.
956
01:04:22,012 --> 01:04:23,364
Sorry. Nobody told me.
957
01:04:24,555 --> 01:04:26,055
What did you quarrel about?
958
01:04:26,666 --> 01:04:28,328
I didn't say I quarrelled with her.
959
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,220
Would she by any chance be the friend
you lit those candles for last night?
960
01:04:37,276 --> 01:04:38,187
Yes.
961
01:04:39,145 --> 01:04:40,469
When did she die?
962
01:04:42,779 --> 01:04:43,699
Die?
963
01:04:44,779 --> 01:04:46,516
Who said anything about her being dead?
964
01:04:47,042 --> 01:04:50,858
I just assumed she was.
You don't light candles for the living.
965
01:04:51,493 --> 01:04:53,352
Do you?
- I don't know.
966
01:04:54,178 --> 01:04:55,831
I just thought they stood for prayer.
967
01:04:56,685 --> 01:04:58,451
I must find Emily.
- By the way.
968
01:04:58,779 --> 01:05:00,614
The postman gave her
a letter for Miss Fiske.
969
01:05:00,911 --> 01:05:02,450
From her bank, I believe.
970
01:05:03,202 --> 01:05:04,375
Give it to me.
971
01:05:14,895 --> 01:05:16,951
I'm managing all her
affairs while she's away.
972
01:05:29,109 --> 01:05:31,579
Anything important?
- Yes, rather.
973
01:05:32,625 --> 01:05:34,512
I must get an answer
in the post immediately.
974
01:05:39,075 --> 01:05:40,763
A stylish looking piano you've got here.
975
01:05:41,029 --> 01:05:43,016
Don't distract me, Albert.
I must concentrate.
976
01:05:43,301 --> 01:05:45,026
I'm sorry. Don't mind me, auntie.
977
01:05:59,907 --> 01:06:01,335
I say, you are up to date.
978
01:06:02,020 --> 01:06:04,648
I didn't expect to find a copy of
The Mikado way out here on the marshes.
979
01:06:10,467 --> 01:06:12,747
[ Whistling song: Tit-Willow ]
980
01:06:20,224 --> 01:06:21,491
Don't do that.
981
01:06:22,064 --> 01:06:24,252
I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to distract you.
982
01:06:25,378 --> 01:06:27,960
It's just I happen to dislike that
particular tune. That's all.
983
01:06:28,261 --> 01:06:29,932
It's a bit on the morbid side.
984
01:06:35,775 --> 01:06:37,740
Miss Ellen, how soon
will you want dinner?
985
01:06:38,044 --> 01:06:39,402
In a quarter of an hour, Lucy.
986
01:06:39,624 --> 01:06:41,383
I'll just post this
letter at the crossing.
987
01:06:41,801 --> 01:06:42,788
Let me go, Ellen.
988
01:06:43,019 --> 01:06:44,372
I can do with a sniff of air.
989
01:06:44,588 --> 01:06:46,710
No thank you.
I prefer to attend to this myself.
990
01:07:20,938 --> 01:07:22,723
What are you up to now?
991
01:07:23,124 --> 01:07:24,998
She just wrote a reply to
the letter we opened.
992
01:07:25,426 --> 01:07:27,560
I thought it would be interesting
to see what she says.
993
01:07:28,703 --> 01:07:29,518
'Dear sir'.
994
01:07:30,198 --> 01:07:30,956
'Cheque'.
995
01:07:31,301 --> 01:07:32,168
Something.
996
01:07:32,562 --> 01:07:33,406
'Incorrect'.
997
01:07:34,231 --> 01:07:35,018
Something.
998
01:07:35,529 --> 01:07:36,258
'Owing'.
999
01:07:36,987 --> 01:07:38,671
Something, something.
1000
01:07:39,444 --> 01:07:40,350
'Wrist'.
1001
01:07:41,875 --> 01:07:43,870
What does that word
look like to you? See.
1002
01:07:44,636 --> 01:07:47,233
'S .. p .. r ..'
1003
01:07:47,779 --> 01:07:48,718
S .. p .. r.
1004
01:07:49,226 --> 01:07:50,685
'Sprained'. That's it.
1005
01:07:51,092 --> 01:07:52,394
'Owing to a sprained wrist'.
1006
01:07:53,878 --> 01:07:54,922
Something. 'Yours'.
1007
01:07:55,374 --> 01:07:56,225
'Leonora'.
1008
01:07:57,357 --> 01:07:58,758
'Leonora Fiske'.
1009
01:08:01,625 --> 01:08:03,040
She signed it 'Leonora Fiske'.
1010
01:08:03,525 --> 01:08:04,684
What's it mean, Albert?
1011
01:08:05,493 --> 01:08:06,665
What do you think?
1012
01:08:07,266 --> 01:08:09,506
It looks as if she's pretending
to be Miss Fiske.
1013
01:08:10,308 --> 01:08:12,239
Getting money on the strength of it.
- Brilliant.
1014
01:08:12,455 --> 01:08:13,845
If that's true, she's a thief.
1015
01:08:14,342 --> 01:08:15,535
Like you.
- Shut up.
1016
01:08:18,319 --> 01:08:20,417
What will happen when
Miss Fiske comes back?
1017
01:08:23,624 --> 01:08:25,061
Suppose she isn't coming back?
1018
01:08:26,187 --> 01:08:29,149
Suppose she's died somewhere.
And Ellen is the only one who knows.
1019
01:08:29,485 --> 01:08:31,229
You can't die and only
one person know it.
1020
01:08:31,445 --> 01:08:32,744
Can't you? I'm not so sure.
1021
01:08:34,460 --> 01:08:35,600
One thing I do know.
1022
01:08:35,906 --> 01:08:38,896
She'd never risk it unless she knew
Miss Fiske was out of the way for good.
1023
01:08:39,955 --> 01:08:43,091
Alright .. assume she's dead.
Aunt Ellen is having the funds.
1024
01:08:43,645 --> 01:08:45,721
It might be years before
anybody would find out.
1025
01:08:48,011 --> 01:08:49,815
Why should she reap all the benefit?
1026
01:08:55,455 --> 01:08:57,100
There may be some pickings in it for us.
1027
01:08:57,481 --> 01:08:59,841
Would you like to see a bit of the
world? Have some fun with me?
1028
01:09:00,057 --> 01:09:01,907
You'd tempt Old Nick
himself, wouldn't you?
1029
01:09:02,123 --> 01:09:03,540
You've got to help me get proof.
1030
01:09:03,775 --> 01:09:05,763
I don't want to do anything
mean or underhanded.
1031
01:09:06,113 --> 01:09:09,069
Would I ask you to? Use your eyes
and keep your ears open. That's all.
1032
01:09:09,863 --> 01:09:10,821
What do you say?
1033
01:09:11,696 --> 01:09:12,720
I don't know.
1034
01:09:12,936 --> 01:09:14,752
Perhaps this will help
you make up your mind.
1035
01:09:20,189 --> 01:09:22,321
Well?
- I'll help you, Albert.
1036
01:09:23,541 --> 01:09:25,685
Here she comes. Look sharp now.
Back to the kitchen.
1037
01:10:47,655 --> 01:10:48,984
She's coming.
1038
01:10:49,341 --> 01:10:51,214
Blimey. You almost made
me frightened myself.
1039
01:10:51,698 --> 01:10:53,567
Hurry up, hurry up.
- Alright. Shut up.
1040
01:10:57,097 --> 01:10:59,119
Hey, go in the kitchen
and make some tea.
1041
01:11:00,769 --> 01:11:03,053
Take this with you. Go on, hurry.
1042
01:11:08,868 --> 01:11:10,408
Goodnight, Bates.
- Night, ma'am.
1043
01:11:10,665 --> 01:11:12,424
Don't forget.
Ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
1044
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:13,710
Very good, ma'am.
1045
01:11:24,420 --> 01:11:25,960
Did you have a successful trip?
1046
01:11:29,358 --> 01:11:30,324
Yes.
1047
01:11:31,452 --> 01:11:32,615
I have your ticket.
1048
01:11:33,462 --> 01:11:35,112
You leave tomorrow.
1049
01:11:36,730 --> 01:11:37,873
Do I?
1050
01:11:38,909 --> 01:11:41,037
Where are my sisters?
- I sent them off to bed.
1051
01:11:41,594 --> 01:11:44,567
They were getting a little out of hand.
- I dare say it wasn't their fault.
1052
01:11:45,180 --> 01:11:46,694
Lucy is making some hot tea.
1053
01:11:47,190 --> 01:11:48,628
We thought you might be cold.
1054
01:11:49,171 --> 01:11:51,500
I'll be down again .. as soon as
I've said goodnight to them.
1055
01:12:05,306 --> 01:12:06,436
Is everything alright?
1056
01:12:06,652 --> 01:12:09,253
No it's not. She's packing me off
tomorrow. We've got to move fast.
1057
01:12:10,013 --> 01:12:14,109
You haven't changed your mind, have you?
- I couldn't refuse you anything .. now.
1058
01:12:17,711 --> 01:12:20,732
We thought you'd never come,
Ellen .. I was frightened.
1059
01:12:21,412 --> 01:12:22,227
Frightened?
1060
01:12:22,443 --> 01:12:24,128
Yes, they were such funny noises.
1061
01:12:24,896 --> 01:12:26,049
It was only the rats.
1062
01:12:27,710 --> 01:12:29,343
What have you been doing all evening?
1063
01:12:29,794 --> 01:12:33,166
We played a game of cribbage.
Of course, Albert cheated.
1064
01:12:33,475 --> 01:12:35,420
But it was rather fun
watching him cheat.
1065
01:12:36,156 --> 01:12:38,001
He hasn't said anything
about Miss Fiske?
1066
01:12:38,432 --> 01:12:39,681
No.
- Miss Fiske?
1067
01:12:41,073 --> 01:12:41,974
Why should he?
1068
01:12:42,322 --> 01:12:44,819
And neither of you spoke to him
about my buying the house?
1069
01:12:45,173 --> 01:12:46,021
No, Ellen.
1070
01:12:46,441 --> 01:12:47,399
Do you remember?
1071
01:12:47,678 --> 01:12:49,855
You made us swear on
the bible we wouldn't.
1072
01:12:53,352 --> 01:12:55,327
I think you'd better go to
sleep now, both of you.
1073
01:12:55,778 --> 01:12:58,491
I'm going downstairs to have a
hot cup of tea before I go to bed.
1074
01:13:11,633 --> 01:13:14,151
Albert, do you think ..?
- Pour the tea, Lucy.
1075
01:13:21,955 --> 01:13:24,408
Thank you Lucy. You may go to bed now.
- Yes, Miss Ellen.
1076
01:13:24,946 --> 01:13:26,345
Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
1077
01:13:36,366 --> 01:13:37,639
Auntie, where is your cane?
1078
01:13:38,312 --> 01:13:40,981
You look like you'd like to take down
my breeches and give me a dozen.
1079
01:13:42,223 --> 01:13:45,038
There's a boat sailing for Canada
on Friday. You sail with it.
1080
01:13:46,295 --> 01:13:47,826
I'm not sure I want to go to Canada.
1081
01:13:48,849 --> 01:13:49,693
Yet a while.
1082
01:13:50,173 --> 01:13:51,779
You haven't much choice, have you?
1083
01:13:52,201 --> 01:13:54,201
I don't know. I'm getting
quite fond of this place.
1084
01:13:54,463 --> 01:13:57,278
The air suits me .. I'm very
happy here for the time being.
1085
01:13:57,793 --> 01:13:59,765
I'm not happy having you here.
- Why?
1086
01:14:01,027 --> 01:14:03,956
It isn't safe since Sister Theresa
knows you're staying here with us.
1087
01:14:04,613 --> 01:14:07,129
The wrong sort of talk would bring
the police around here in no time.
1088
01:14:07,692 --> 01:14:09,826
I don't propose to risk a
scandal on your account.
1089
01:14:10,979 --> 01:14:12,484
There's more to it than that.
1090
01:14:13,552 --> 01:14:14,914
Lucy is apt to talk.
1091
01:14:15,787 --> 01:14:17,383
I don't think we need worry about her.
1092
01:14:18,557 --> 01:14:20,578
No. You've made sure of that.
1093
01:14:21,269 --> 01:14:24,026
Whatever do you mean by that?
- You know what, you cheap little ..
1094
01:14:24,454 --> 01:14:26,419
Stop it Ellen.
You'll make me lose my temper.
1095
01:14:26,784 --> 01:14:27,717
Your temper?
1096
01:14:27,975 --> 01:14:30,803
You leave first thing in the morning.
That's the end of you and your temper.
1097
01:14:31,019 --> 01:14:32,487
I shouldn't try to bluff me.
1098
01:14:32,885 --> 01:14:36,020
I'm not bluffing you. I order you.
- If I don't choose to be ordered?
1099
01:14:36,755 --> 01:14:39,395
I can't throw you out physically.
But I can send for the police.
1100
01:14:39,611 --> 01:14:40,765
And have your scandal?
1101
01:14:41,425 --> 01:14:43,625
Really, you're being very
inconsistent now, auntie dear.
1102
01:14:47,747 --> 01:14:49,119
You won't send for the police.
1103
01:14:50,349 --> 01:14:51,841
Why are you so sure?
1104
01:14:52,573 --> 01:14:53,992
Because you've another reason.
1105
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:56,914
A more important reason for
not wanting the police here.
1106
01:14:57,546 --> 01:14:59,799
For wanting me out of this
house as quickly as possible.
1107
01:15:01,265 --> 01:15:02,936
As a matter of fact, you are right.
1108
01:15:03,339 --> 01:15:04,889
Now we get down to brass tacks.
1109
01:15:09,192 --> 01:15:11,134
Did it concern Miss Fiske by any chance?
1110
01:15:12,843 --> 01:15:14,271
It would and it does.
1111
01:15:15,303 --> 01:15:18,769
I met her in town today.
She's coming back.
1112
01:15:21,002 --> 01:15:24,068
She's coming back?
- And why shouldn't she?
1113
01:15:25,444 --> 01:15:27,138
I thought she'd gone for good.
1114
01:15:27,641 --> 01:15:29,345
How utterly absurd of you, Albert.
1115
01:15:29,950 --> 01:15:32,232
There has never been any
question of her not coming back.
1116
01:15:33,753 --> 01:15:35,532
Why didn't you say
so in the first place?
1117
01:15:35,748 --> 01:15:37,942
You played the fool so much
with Louisa and Emily.
1118
01:15:39,190 --> 01:15:40,693
I was afraid you'd blurt it out.
1119
01:15:42,481 --> 01:15:44,355
As it is, I'll have to
break it to them gently.
1120
01:15:44,571 --> 01:15:46,477
Because it means
they will have to go too.
1121
01:15:51,855 --> 01:15:53,989
My little country holiday has
obviously come to an end.
1122
01:15:54,843 --> 01:15:56,734
I don't know what the
blazes I'll do in Canada.
1123
01:15:56,950 --> 01:15:59,119
I suppose one can starve there
as well as anywhere else.
1124
01:15:59,677 --> 01:16:00,790
You'll get on.
1125
01:16:01,757 --> 01:16:03,762
I'll give you a little
something to start off with.
1126
01:16:04,659 --> 01:16:05,908
For your mother's sake.
1127
01:16:06,405 --> 01:16:08,376
I suppose I should extend
my most humble thanks.
1128
01:16:08,668 --> 01:16:10,540
No. That from you would be too much.
1129
01:16:11,034 --> 01:16:13,664
If that's all we have to say to each
other, I may as well get up to bed.
1130
01:16:32,163 --> 01:16:34,237
A good night's sleep wouldn't
do you any harm, either.
1131
01:16:35,093 --> 01:16:36,483
You look a bit played out.
1132
01:16:42,139 --> 01:16:43,698
I must lock up first.
1133
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,157
Will I be seeing you in the
morning before I leave?
1134
01:16:49,557 --> 01:16:50,486
Yes.
1135
01:16:59,735 --> 01:17:01,070
I forgot to tell you, auntie.
1136
01:17:02,138 --> 01:17:03,848
I had a funny dream last night.
1137
01:17:05,052 --> 01:17:05,796
Did you?
1138
01:17:08,636 --> 01:17:10,288
I dreamt Miss Fiske was dead.
1139
01:17:17,761 --> 01:17:20,112
Goodnight, auntie.
- Goodnight, Albert.
1140
01:18:52,767 --> 01:18:54,268
Miss Fiske ..
1141
01:19:06,554 --> 01:19:07,625
Albert.
1142
01:19:08,620 --> 01:19:09,497
Albert!
1143
01:19:48,544 --> 01:19:49,617
Good morning, Bates.
1144
01:19:49,833 --> 01:19:52,997
Miss Creed ordered me. It's about the
train, but she didn't say which one.
1145
01:19:53,823 --> 01:19:54,626
Bates.
1146
01:19:55,260 --> 01:19:56,975
Cancel it. Miss Creed's
not feeling well.
1147
01:19:57,382 --> 01:19:59,134
Nothing serious I hope, sir?
1148
01:19:59,716 --> 01:20:00,845
No. Nothing serious.
1149
01:20:01,576 --> 01:20:03,714
In that case, I'd better hop along.
1150
01:20:11,215 --> 01:20:13,479
She did look ill when I
took in her early tea.
1151
01:20:13,844 --> 01:20:15,160
I wish we hadn't done it.
1152
01:20:15,376 --> 01:20:17,754
Pull yourself together.
You'll ruin everything. Go on upstairs.
1153
01:20:18,116 --> 01:20:20,071
She might have died.
- Shut up.
1154
01:20:22,419 --> 01:20:24,304
Well she didn't. And we
proved what we wanted.
1155
01:20:24,605 --> 01:20:27,046
Miss Fiske is dead and she knows it.
- I wonder when she died.
1156
01:20:27,262 --> 01:20:30,193
One more go, and I'll tell you when
and how, she died. Now, go on upstairs.
1157
01:20:32,234 --> 01:20:33,778
What did Bates want, Albert?
1158
01:20:34,469 --> 01:20:37,339
He brought the news from the outside
world. It will tickle you to death.
1159
01:20:37,669 --> 01:20:39,500
Wigs and whiskers are
coming back in again.
1160
01:20:39,795 --> 01:20:41,748
I don't think this is a
time for joking, Albert.
1161
01:20:42,024 --> 01:20:43,268
With Ellen the way she is.
1162
01:20:43,484 --> 01:20:45,673
You take this thing too seriously,
my old brussels sprout.
1163
01:20:45,906 --> 01:20:48,296
She was walking in her sleep
and had a nightmare. That's all.
1164
01:20:48,857 --> 01:20:50,738
It wasn't a nightmare, Albert.
1165
01:20:52,979 --> 01:20:56,425
Oh .. what was it then?
- She says she saw a ghost.
1166
01:20:58,326 --> 01:21:00,241
In that case, lay another
place for breakfast.
1167
01:21:01,837 --> 01:21:04,083
Do you really think
it was a ghost, Emily?
1168
01:21:04,814 --> 01:21:08,147
If it were only a nightmare,
we wouldn't have heard it too.
1169
01:21:09,095 --> 01:21:12,379
Heard what?
- The music. Miss Fiske's music.
1170
01:21:13,216 --> 01:21:14,174
You know, Emily.
1171
01:21:14,512 --> 01:21:16,786
I'm sometimes afraid Miss Fiske
will get the better of Ellen.
1172
01:21:17,358 --> 01:21:20,210
I sometimes think she wants
to come back and turn us out.
1173
01:21:20,570 --> 01:21:23,299
I think Miss Fiske is here .. now.
1174
01:21:24,166 --> 01:21:27,506
Well .. what are you
two whispering about?
1175
01:21:28,354 --> 01:21:30,821
Hadn't you better go for your walk now?
- Yes, Ellen.
1176
01:21:31,124 --> 01:21:32,605
Anything you say, Ellen.
1177
01:21:46,684 --> 01:21:48,838
Do you think you're
strong enough to be up?
1178
01:21:49,303 --> 01:21:52,031
Yes, dear. I'm quite alright now.
- Hadn't you better have a doctor?
1179
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,336
No. A doctor couldn't do any good.
1180
01:22:01,118 --> 01:22:03,274
Why are you two standing
there like a couple of owls?
1181
01:22:04,315 --> 01:22:05,674
Emily has been frightening me.
1182
01:22:05,890 --> 01:22:07,724
You've been imagining
things, both of you.
1183
01:22:07,940 --> 01:22:09,719
Now, run along for your walk.
1184
01:22:10,194 --> 01:22:12,573
Whatever you say, Ellen. You know best.
1185
01:22:47,533 --> 01:22:48,748
Good morning, aunt Ellen.
1186
01:22:52,429 --> 01:22:53,848
We didn't expect you down today.
1187
01:22:55,144 --> 01:22:56,748
Why aren't you ready yet?
1188
01:22:57,416 --> 01:22:58,898
Bates will be here at any moment.
1189
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:01,876
Bates has been here and
gone .. I sent him away.
1190
01:23:02,599 --> 01:23:04,832
What do you mean by interfering
with my arrangements?
1191
01:23:05,087 --> 01:23:07,308
I didn't like to go and leave
you not feeling well.
1192
01:23:07,829 --> 01:23:09,585
I'm quite recovered now, thank you.
1193
01:23:10,535 --> 01:23:12,151
It was a queer turn you had last night.
1194
01:23:13,012 --> 01:23:13,913
What happened?
1195
01:23:16,155 --> 01:23:17,012
Nothing.
1196
01:23:17,529 --> 01:23:19,792
You know, you should really do
something about your nerves.
1197
01:23:20,064 --> 01:23:22,710
This isn't the first time you've walked
in your sleep, according to Emily.
1198
01:23:23,866 --> 01:23:24,996
What's Emily told you?
1199
01:23:25,212 --> 01:23:26,370
Just the usual chatter.
1200
01:23:27,566 --> 01:23:30,648
They do say that people who walk in
their sleep have a guilty conscience.
1201
01:23:32,807 --> 01:23:34,722
What's behind that remark, Albert?
1202
01:23:35,877 --> 01:23:36,788
Nothing.
1203
01:23:56,997 --> 01:23:58,016
You know.
1204
01:23:58,692 --> 01:23:59,725
Uhuh.
1205
01:24:07,734 --> 01:24:09,783
Then it was you last night?
- Yes.
1206
01:24:10,635 --> 01:24:12,786
Me and Lucy.
- She knows too?
1207
01:24:13,435 --> 01:24:16,579
Not what I know. That's something you
and I are going to keep to ourselves.
1208
01:24:17,454 --> 01:24:19,302
Provided of course, you treat me right.
1209
01:24:21,351 --> 01:24:22,852
What are you going to do?
1210
01:24:24,955 --> 01:24:26,342
As I said, I'm very happy here.
1211
01:24:26,974 --> 01:24:29,880
I think with your financial help I'll
be able to adjust things at the bank.
1212
01:24:30,486 --> 01:24:33,462
And we can all settle down in peace.
A contented little family.
1213
01:24:38,699 --> 01:24:40,639
You mean, you propose
to go on living here?
1214
01:24:41,042 --> 01:24:42,511
With me?
- Why not?
1215
01:24:43,380 --> 01:24:45,003
You'd never be quite sure, would you?
1216
01:24:45,991 --> 01:24:47,704
You might not enjoy your meals.
1217
01:24:51,328 --> 01:24:53,741
You wouldn't dare .. a second time.
1218
01:24:54,750 --> 01:24:57,031
It takes a lot of courage to
kill for the first time, Albert.
1219
01:24:57,830 --> 01:25:00,317
Once you've sold your soul to
the Devil it becomes easier.
1220
01:25:01,558 --> 01:25:02,675
Much easier.
1221
01:25:03,887 --> 01:25:07,713
Alright .. give me £500 and I'll clear
out for good. And keep my mouth shut.
1222
01:25:07,933 --> 01:25:10,215
I'm not afraid of you, Albert.
And your shabby little tricks.
1223
01:25:10,666 --> 01:25:13,323
In the middle of the night, you may
fancy yourself cutting quite a figure.
1224
01:25:13,980 --> 01:25:15,595
It's broad daylight now.
1225
01:25:16,055 --> 01:25:17,426
[ Door knocks ]
1226
01:25:22,761 --> 01:25:23,944
It's those nuns.
1227
01:25:24,482 --> 01:25:27,362
Get that out of sight.
And yourself with it.
1228
01:25:31,659 --> 01:25:33,002
[ Door knocks ]
1229
01:25:38,532 --> 01:25:41,311
Good day, Sisters.
- I must talk to you, right away.
1230
01:25:41,857 --> 01:25:43,121
Are you alone?
- Yes.
1231
01:25:43,889 --> 01:25:44,905
What's the matter?
1232
01:25:45,241 --> 01:25:48,898
It's really none of my business
and I shouldn't have come but ..
1233
01:25:49,781 --> 01:25:52,419
The police. They've been to the Priory.
- What about?
1234
01:25:52,973 --> 01:25:54,653
They're searching for a young man.
1235
01:25:55,095 --> 01:25:57,671
Who stole money from a
bank over Gravesend way.
1236
01:25:58,212 --> 01:26:01,295
And from the description,
I suspect it was your nephew.
1237
01:26:01,945 --> 01:26:05,639
I thought if he were told, he might
have a chance to do the right thing.
1238
01:26:06,213 --> 01:26:07,596
And give himself up.
1239
01:26:08,675 --> 01:26:10,261
It is your nephew?
- Yes.
1240
01:26:10,825 --> 01:26:14,130
But they mustn't search here.
- They've gone to the Coyne farm first.
1241
01:26:14,553 --> 01:26:16,139
I heard one of them say so.
1242
01:26:17,097 --> 01:26:20,813
Oh Miss Ellen. Have I done
wrong in coming to warn you?
1243
01:26:22,345 --> 01:26:23,773
I don't know, Sister.
1244
01:26:24,730 --> 01:26:26,719
I had a brother rather like that.
1245
01:26:27,632 --> 01:26:28,938
He went wrong too.
1246
01:26:30,148 --> 01:26:33,618
People are so easily lost, aren't they?
1247
01:26:34,524 --> 01:26:35,575
Yes they are.
1248
01:26:36,083 --> 01:26:38,511
Poor girl. You have so many burdens.
1249
01:26:39,161 --> 01:26:40,320
If you refer to Albert.
1250
01:26:40,901 --> 01:26:42,388
He means absolutely nothing to me.
1251
01:26:43,143 --> 01:26:44,543
No-one does, for that matter.
1252
01:26:45,350 --> 01:26:46,843
Except Emily and Louisa.
1253
01:26:48,365 --> 01:26:53,486
If, any time, we can do anything to make
things easier for you or your sisters ..
1254
01:26:54,242 --> 01:26:56,078
Don't hesitate to turn to us.
1255
01:26:56,401 --> 01:26:58,181
That's very kind of you, Sister Theresa.
1256
01:26:58,843 --> 01:27:00,509
But you know, we're not of your faith.
1257
01:27:01,152 --> 01:27:04,017
In my Father's house are many mansions.
1258
01:27:10,324 --> 01:27:11,797
Blimey, I thought they'd never go.
1259
01:27:12,013 --> 01:27:13,715
Thanks for putting in
a good word for me.
1260
01:27:15,247 --> 01:27:16,837
The Coyne farm, is it?
1261
01:27:17,115 --> 01:27:19,332
That will give me a chance to
get behind them to the river.
1262
01:27:19,548 --> 01:27:21,951
Hurry. There's no time to lose.
- Yes, I'll get my clothes.
1263
01:27:36,482 --> 01:27:37,496
Lucy.
1264
01:27:38,970 --> 01:27:40,574
Why are you staring at me like that?
1265
01:27:47,259 --> 01:27:48,389
You've been listening.
1266
01:27:52,279 --> 01:27:53,011
Lucy.
1267
01:27:53,847 --> 01:27:55,077
Lucy, come back.
1268
01:27:56,673 --> 01:27:57,922
Lucy, come back.
1269
01:28:00,607 --> 01:28:01,729
What's up?
1270
01:28:04,948 --> 01:28:05,763
What is it?
1271
01:28:06,671 --> 01:28:07,700
Lucy's run off.
1272
01:28:08,543 --> 01:28:09,842
She was listening.
1273
01:28:11,899 --> 01:28:13,091
Turn me in, would she?
1274
01:28:13,589 --> 01:28:15,946
I've got to move fast.
Where's that money and boat ticket?
1275
01:28:21,783 --> 01:28:23,304
You mean, she heard all about that?
1276
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:28,225
Yes.
1277
01:28:29,117 --> 01:28:31,860
Hey .. you'd better
make a dash for it too.
1278
01:28:46,271 --> 01:28:47,740
Don't stand there mooning about.
1279
01:28:48,092 --> 01:28:49,909
Put your things on and
let's get out of here.
1280
01:28:52,816 --> 01:28:53,999
I'm not going.
1281
01:28:56,844 --> 01:28:58,130
Are you out of your mind?
1282
01:29:01,266 --> 01:29:03,883
You know what they'll do to you?
- You'd better hurry, Albert.
1283
01:29:04,966 --> 01:29:06,581
Well, if that don't beat the cards.
1284
01:29:08,780 --> 01:29:09,710
Well then ..
1285
01:29:11,785 --> 01:29:14,516
So long Ellen .. no hard feelings.
1286
01:29:49,217 --> 01:29:50,486
Ellen, it was so funny.
1287
01:29:50,849 --> 01:29:51,893
We just saw Albert.
1288
01:29:52,306 --> 01:29:53,808
He was playing 'tag' with some men.
1289
01:29:54,130 --> 01:29:56,069
He didn't win. They caught him.
1290
01:29:56,413 --> 01:29:57,556
He got quite annoyed.
1291
01:30:00,436 --> 01:30:02,922
Ellen, look.
We found a lot of jackdaw feathers.
1292
01:30:03,297 --> 01:30:05,846
We're going to tie them into
bundles and make little dusters.
1293
01:30:07,021 --> 01:30:08,492
Where are you going?
1294
01:30:10,172 --> 01:30:11,816
I'm going to Coyne farm.
1295
01:30:12,298 --> 01:30:14,852
There are some gentlemen there from
Gravesend and I want to see them.
1296
01:30:15,068 --> 01:30:16,974
You won't bring them
back here, will you Ellen.
1297
01:30:17,228 --> 01:30:19,134
It's so nice and peaceful by ourselves.
1298
01:30:20,007 --> 01:30:22,812
No, dear. I'll try not to
bring them back here.
1299
01:30:31,833 --> 01:30:35,636
You have been happy here, haven't you?
- We are happy here, aren't we Emily?
1300
01:30:35,852 --> 01:30:38,249
Yes .. it's much better than London.
1301
01:30:38,547 --> 01:30:40,897
It's so good of you to have
bought this house for us.
1302
01:30:41,242 --> 01:30:43,035
You have been clever, Ellen.
1303
01:31:06,500 --> 01:31:07,632
How long will you be?
1304
01:31:08,778 --> 01:31:10,031
I don't know, dear.
1305
01:31:10,562 --> 01:31:12,115
Maybe quite a time.
1306
01:31:13,116 --> 01:31:15,317
I think I shall go down
to The Priory tomorrow.
1307
01:31:15,914 --> 01:31:18,728
I should like to see the things the
Reverend Mother collected on the marsh.
1308
01:31:18,965 --> 01:31:20,045
I'll go with you.
1309
01:31:26,793 --> 01:31:29,371
Goodbye, Ellen .. don't worry about us.
1310
01:31:29,816 --> 01:31:31,460
We can look after ourselves.
1311
01:32:12,774 --> 01:32:13,678

Ellen Creed, a proud spinster fallen on hard times, has spent the past two years as housekeeper and companion to her old friend Leonora Fiske, a wealthy retiree who in her youth had been a chorus girl "of easy virtue". Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.
One day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.
Ellen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.
Ellen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.
Some nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.
Albert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a "sprained wrist." Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.
Albert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men. Ellen smiles, dons her coat and hat, tells the sisters she's going to see some men, kisses them goodbye and departs into the fog.

1
00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:15,105
Ellen.
2
00:02:16,275 --> 00:02:18,207
Yes, Miss Fiske.
- Is there any mail for me?
3
00:02:18,783 --> 00:02:20,449
No, just this one letter.
4
00:02:22,257 --> 00:02:24,580
No sign of Bates yet?
- Not yet.
5
00:02:25,271 --> 00:02:27,122
Oh dear, I do hope you
won't miss your train.
6
00:02:28,288 --> 00:02:29,130
I mustn't.
7
00:02:32,003 --> 00:02:34,632
Oh Lucy, hurry with that bag.
- Just coming, Miss.
8
00:02:39,861 --> 00:02:40,533
Ellen.
9
00:02:40,937 --> 00:02:42,986
That business I want you
to see about in London.
10
00:02:43,703 --> 00:02:45,281
This is for Mr Scott at the bank.
11
00:02:45,872 --> 00:02:47,797
It's about those Brazilian
bonds of mine.
12
00:02:48,116 --> 00:02:50,463
The way the market is this week,
I think they ought to be ..
13
00:02:51,108 --> 00:02:53,011
Get outside.
Keep your eyes open for Bates.
14
00:02:53,367 --> 00:02:54,154
Yes, Miss.
15
00:02:57,364 --> 00:02:59,365
And this address is
just off Berkeley Square.
16
00:02:59,637 --> 00:03:02,745
Go to the servant's entrance and
ask for Mr Blake. He's the butler.
17
00:03:02,990 --> 00:03:06,248
Say you've come from me with
a message for Lord Cardington.
18
00:03:06,501 --> 00:03:08,999
And will he give it to his
Lordship .. privately.
19
00:03:10,145 --> 00:03:11,726
Ellen, you aren't paying attention.
20
00:03:12,861 --> 00:03:14,130
But I am, Miss Fiske.
21
00:03:15,291 --> 00:03:16,862
What would be the best time to call?
22
00:03:18,183 --> 00:03:20,515
Harry always used to dine around eight.
23
00:03:21,648 --> 00:03:23,869
You call about half past seven.
- Yes, very well.
24
00:03:24,511 --> 00:03:25,441
You seem upset.
25
00:03:26,165 --> 00:03:27,082
Bad news?
26
00:03:28,607 --> 00:03:30,395
I don't want to bother
you with my troubles.
27
00:03:31,555 --> 00:03:33,845
It isn't a question of bothering
me with your troubles.
28
00:03:34,385 --> 00:03:36,059
You've become almost like my daughter.
29
00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:40,033
The letter is from my sisters,
Emily and Louisa.
30
00:03:40,723 --> 00:03:42,666
They're very unhappy back
in London without me.
31
00:03:43,371 --> 00:03:46,159
After all, I only saw them once since
I came to work for you, Miss Fiske.
32
00:03:46,627 --> 00:03:50,075
You'll see them today, won't you?
And everything will be alright, surely.
33
00:03:50,516 --> 00:03:51,365
Miss Fiske.
34
00:03:52,270 --> 00:03:53,239
Bates is coming.
35
00:03:53,677 --> 00:03:54,941
Tell him to hurry himself.
36
00:03:56,902 --> 00:04:00,083
My kind regards to your sisters, Ellen.
- Thank you, Miss Fiske.
37
00:04:05,516 --> 00:04:07,945
I've written them so much about you.
38
00:04:08,818 --> 00:04:10,041
How kind you've been.
39
00:04:10,952 --> 00:04:13,704
Stuff and nonsense.
I'm fond of you. You shouldn't ..
40
00:04:14,411 --> 00:04:16,314
Oh, a lovely juicy one.
41
00:04:18,629 --> 00:04:21,722
Perhaps you'll .. you might allow
them down for a little visit one day?
42
00:04:22,338 --> 00:04:24,174
Oh dear, look what the damp has done.
43
00:04:24,744 --> 00:04:27,291
Certainly, yes.
By all means. At any time.
44
00:04:27,661 --> 00:04:30,625
You know Lucy polished this
table all yesterday afternoon.
45
00:04:31,859 --> 00:04:34,142
Miss Fiske.
- Yes?
46
00:04:34,903 --> 00:04:36,139
It occurred to me that ..
47
00:04:36,694 --> 00:04:40,310
Since they've been so wretched lately,
and you may allow them to visit one day.
48
00:04:40,526 --> 00:04:42,677
Oh that? Yes, indeed. You tell them.
49
00:04:43,191 --> 00:04:45,776
Perhaps in the spring when
it's warm and sunny.
50
00:04:58,452 --> 00:05:01,788
Well .. what I was going to ask was ..
51
00:05:03,656 --> 00:05:06,019
Might I bring them back
with me this time? Now?
52
00:05:06,313 --> 00:05:08,044
Well now, Ellen.
- They won't be a bother.
53
00:05:08,260 --> 00:05:11,100
I promise Miss Fiske .. and it
will mean so much to them.
54
00:05:13,860 --> 00:05:17,056
Very well my dear. You bring with
you by all means. For a day or two.
55
00:05:17,531 --> 00:05:18,974
Thank you, Miss Fiske.
56
00:05:19,913 --> 00:05:22,776
I can't tell you how grateful I am.
- Well don't try, my dear.
57
00:05:23,612 --> 00:05:26,540
He's here, Miss.
- About time. The good-for-nothing.
58
00:05:29,731 --> 00:05:31,919
Ellen, have you got everything?
- Yes, Miss Fiske.
59
00:05:36,257 --> 00:05:37,214
Morning, ma'am.
60
00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:40,040
Bates, you might have been more prompt.
What on earth made you so late?
61
00:05:40,256 --> 00:05:44,233
Her. You can't gallop over the roads
with a lady in her delicate condition.
62
00:05:45,131 --> 00:05:46,985
She's going to throw a calf, she be.
63
00:05:47,329 --> 00:05:49,142
I'm taking her to the vets, I am.
64
00:05:49,580 --> 00:05:53,795
Kindly let her not throw any calves
until you get Miss Ellen to the station.
65
00:05:55,009 --> 00:05:58,324
Calves don't come by timetable, lady.
- Well trains do.
66
00:06:01,093 --> 00:06:02,789
Yes, ma'am.
- Goodbye, Miss Fiske.
67
00:06:03,093 --> 00:06:05,919
Goodbye, Miss Ellen.
- Goodbye, Lucy.
68
00:06:08,225 --> 00:06:10,399
Don't forget the allowance
from you-know-who.
69
00:06:10,690 --> 00:06:11,943
No, I shan't.
70
00:06:12,751 --> 00:06:13,558
Goodbye.
71
00:06:14,089 --> 00:06:15,295
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss.
72
00:06:16,549 --> 00:06:18,440
Alright now, there is a
day's work to be done.
73
00:06:43,285 --> 00:06:46,731
La, la, la .. la, la, la.
74
00:06:47,792 --> 00:06:51,445
This is nice. It's very, very nice.
- What's that you have there, Miss?
75
00:06:52,224 --> 00:06:55,022
It's called the New Comic Opera.
It's all the rage in London.
76
00:06:55,382 --> 00:06:56,355
The Mi-Ka-Do.
77
00:06:57,272 --> 00:06:58,355
Mikado.
78
00:06:59,483 --> 00:07:02,512
I used to tour the provinces with
the gentleman who sent it to me.
79
00:07:02,932 --> 00:07:05,701
Look, he signed it for me:
'Rutland Barington'.
80
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,844
'For my adored Leonora
with fond memories of ..'
81
00:07:12,167 --> 00:07:14,032
Never mind about that.
Go and do the dishes.
82
00:07:14,248 --> 00:07:15,034
Yes, Miss.
83
00:07:18,969 --> 00:07:23,159
<i>On a tree by a willow, a little tom-tit</i>.
84
00:07:23,685 --> 00:07:27,337
<i>Sang: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
85
00:07:27,860 --> 00:07:32,012
<i>And I said to him: dicky-bird,
why do you sit?</i>
86
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:36,024
<i>Singing: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
87
00:07:40,329 --> 00:07:41,550
Go on. Don't stop.
88
00:07:41,803 --> 00:07:45,343
Who are you? What are you doing here?
- Listening .. very nice too.
89
00:07:46,281 --> 00:07:48,810
What do you want?
- Ask me in and I'll tell you.
90
00:07:52,312 --> 00:07:55,617
Anyway young man, you may
come in .. but mind your manners.
91
00:07:56,854 --> 00:07:57,794
Alright, Miss.
92
00:08:06,770 --> 00:08:09,470
Isn't this where Miss Ellen Creed lives?
- Yes, she lives here.
93
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:12,146
What do you wish to see her about?
- It's a personal matter.
94
00:08:13,315 --> 00:08:15,156
She's my aunt. I'm Albert Feather.
95
00:08:15,372 --> 00:08:17,189
Your aunt?
- Right.
96
00:08:17,842 --> 00:08:20,039
Her mother was my stepfather's
uncle's second wife.
97
00:08:22,067 --> 00:08:24,058
And where do you come from?
- Gravesend.
98
00:08:24,649 --> 00:08:26,422
I .. I work in a bank there.
99
00:08:26,875 --> 00:08:28,891
It's a very long walk.
Hadn't you better sit down?
100
00:08:29,598 --> 00:08:30,640
Thank you.
101
00:08:33,063 --> 00:08:34,628
I'm afraid it's all been for nothing.
102
00:08:34,844 --> 00:08:37,420
Your aunt Ellen has gone to
London on some business for me.
103
00:08:38,218 --> 00:08:39,462
How long will she be away?
104
00:08:39,790 --> 00:08:41,215
A few days.
- A few?
105
00:08:43,071 --> 00:08:44,665
Blimey. That will be too late.
106
00:08:45,843 --> 00:08:47,270
Is there anything I can do?
107
00:08:47,764 --> 00:08:51,327
I'm Miss Fiske. Your aunt has been
working here as a housekeeper/companion.
108
00:08:52,049 --> 00:08:54,325
I didn't know.
I haven't seen her for five years.
109
00:08:56,066 --> 00:08:57,102
Can I help?
110
00:08:59,294 --> 00:09:00,176
I wonder.
111
00:09:00,570 --> 00:09:01,642
What's the trouble?
112
00:09:02,394 --> 00:09:03,435
Or is it trouble?
113
00:09:04,397 --> 00:09:07,440
It's trouble right enough.
I hardly like to tell you.
114
00:09:08,163 --> 00:09:09,437
Oh, I see.
115
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:11,115
What's the amount?
116
00:09:12,388 --> 00:09:14,291
Twelve pounds.
- How much?
117
00:09:14,952 --> 00:09:17,446
Twelve pounds.
- My goodness. That's a lot of money.
118
00:09:17,662 --> 00:09:19,564
I know. What's worse,
I must have it by tonight.
119
00:09:19,937 --> 00:09:21,177
I'm short at the bank.
120
00:09:21,937 --> 00:09:24,425
It means jail if I can't put it back
before the cashier checks up.
121
00:09:25,063 --> 00:09:27,092
Gambling?
- No. A girl.
122
00:09:28,525 --> 00:09:29,814
Are you engaged to her?
123
00:09:30,198 --> 00:09:31,426
No. She's an actress.
124
00:09:32,294 --> 00:09:34,143
She was in a travelling
company in Gravesend.
125
00:09:34,463 --> 00:09:36,933
What? At the Old Grand?
126
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:39,551
You know it?
- I played there.
127
00:09:40,084 --> 00:09:41,113
Years ago.
128
00:09:41,968 --> 00:09:43,041
You were an actress?
129
00:09:43,648 --> 00:09:45,054
Front row of the chorus.
130
00:09:45,889 --> 00:09:47,868
Fourth from the right.
131
00:09:48,396 --> 00:09:49,710
She was in the chorus too.
132
00:09:50,179 --> 00:09:51,820
I expect you took her out to supper.
133
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:54,542
Then she persuaded you to
go round the shops with her.
134
00:09:55,486 --> 00:09:56,610
How did you know?
135
00:09:58,034 --> 00:09:59,272
'Imagination', my boy.
136
00:10:01,410 --> 00:10:03,427
Anyway, she's over the hills
now to some other town.
137
00:10:03,731 --> 00:10:05,583
And with some other fool.
The little cheat.
138
00:10:10,573 --> 00:10:13,436
Don't worry any more about it.
I'll give you the twelve pounds.
139
00:10:14,686 --> 00:10:15,719
You will?
140
00:10:16,204 --> 00:10:19,080
Perhaps I owe it to you .. in a sense.
141
00:10:20,452 --> 00:10:21,783
Or to some other fool.
142
00:10:22,564 --> 00:10:23,754
You're a life-saver.
143
00:10:24,208 --> 00:10:26,940
Now you just wait here. I'll just
run upstairs and get my keys.
144
00:10:31,814 --> 00:10:33,378
A pity there aren't more like you.
145
00:10:33,970 --> 00:10:35,850
That my, lad, is a matter of opinion.
146
00:10:38,268 --> 00:10:40,807
Do you mind if I tickle on your ivories?
- No, do.
147
00:10:41,403 --> 00:10:42,190
Thank you.
148
00:10:46,990 --> 00:10:50,944
<i>It's the same the whole world over</i>.
149
00:10:52,269 --> 00:10:53,102
<i>It's</i> ..
150
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,183
<i>It's the poor what gets the blame</i>.
151
00:11:04,394 --> 00:11:08,374
<i>While the rich has all the pleasures</i>.
152
00:11:09,117 --> 00:11:12,780
<i>Now, ain't that the blinking shame</i>.
153
00:11:19,442 --> 00:11:20,183
Hello.
154
00:11:20,703 --> 00:11:21,996
You did scare me.
155
00:11:22,780 --> 00:11:24,167
I thought I was hearing things.
156
00:11:24,565 --> 00:11:25,460
You were.
157
00:11:25,819 --> 00:11:26,681
But I mean.
158
00:11:27,344 --> 00:11:28,245
A man's voice.
159
00:11:29,023 --> 00:11:30,360
So funny here.
160
00:11:32,142 --> 00:11:34,993
Doesn't the tide wash up
many male fish, my angel?
161
00:11:35,476 --> 00:11:38,023
A man is as scarce as
hansom cabs in these parts.
162
00:11:38,377 --> 00:11:40,049
That is, all but the old ones.
163
00:11:40,330 --> 00:11:43,699
The young ones go off to London or
some foreign parts as soon as they can.
164
00:11:44,405 --> 00:11:45,990
Are you going off to foreign parts?
165
00:11:46,537 --> 00:11:48,929
It depends.
- Depends on what?
166
00:11:49,541 --> 00:11:51,342
If anyone ever asks me.
167
00:11:52,252 --> 00:11:54,778
I shouldn't think with eyes like them
there would be any difficulty.
168
00:11:55,570 --> 00:11:56,438
Go on.
169
00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:59,288
What's your name?
- Lucy.
170
00:11:59,889 --> 00:12:02,390
What's yours?
- Albert. I'm Miss Creel's nephew.
171
00:12:02,791 --> 00:12:05,195
Funny .. I never heard about you.
172
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,223
That must be remedied.
173
00:12:09,483 --> 00:12:12,253
How about making the most of a male
fish now one has been washed up, eh?
174
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,043
What about a smacker?
- No, you mustn't.
175
00:12:15,952 --> 00:12:17,175
I don't know you.
176
00:12:17,650 --> 00:12:19,993
You needn't know people to kiss them.
- I do.
177
00:12:21,065 --> 00:12:22,481
Alright my girl. It's your loss.
178
00:12:23,722 --> 00:12:25,495
You think a lot of yourself, don't you?
179
00:12:36,494 --> 00:12:39,581
Has Lucy been entertaining you, Albert?
- Eh?
180
00:12:40,669 --> 00:12:42,777
She came in. We had a word or two.
181
00:12:43,910 --> 00:12:46,728
Nice looker, isn't she?
- I didn't notice.
182
00:12:47,252 --> 00:12:50,496
Come now, Albert.
Don't lose your sense of humour.
183
00:12:50,712 --> 00:12:53,147
I hope you're not one of those who
won't benefit from experience.
184
00:12:53,446 --> 00:12:57,232
Otherwise my twelve pounds
will be rather wasted, won't it.
185
00:12:58,006 --> 00:12:59,937
Don't you worry Miss Fiske.
I've had my lesson.
186
00:13:00,307 --> 00:13:01,631
I hope so.
187
00:13:05,189 --> 00:13:07,912
Now .. this is where we
keep our little hoard.
188
00:13:09,396 --> 00:13:11,055
It's an old bake-oven really.
189
00:13:12,795 --> 00:13:14,007
A proper tomb, isn't it?
190
00:13:15,288 --> 00:13:16,161
What's that?
191
00:13:16,603 --> 00:13:18,678
This is what they used to
pull the loaves out with.
192
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:24,941
Of course, we don't use it as a
bake-oven. Hasn't been used in years.
193
00:13:30,894 --> 00:13:31,880
Now then.
194
00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:34,726
Twelve pounds, I think you said.
195
00:13:35,604 --> 00:13:37,505
You couldn't make if fifteen?
- No, I couldn't.
196
00:13:37,721 --> 00:13:38,593
You couldn't?
197
00:13:40,918 --> 00:13:42,648
Do I give you an I.O.U.?
198
00:13:43,001 --> 00:13:44,040
No thank you.
199
00:13:44,453 --> 00:13:45,721
This isn't a loan.
200
00:13:46,087 --> 00:13:49,548
I shouldn't like you to incur the
remorse of not paying it back.
201
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:51,267
You are a daisy.
202
00:13:53,929 --> 00:13:55,680
Very prettily done, Albert.
203
00:14:00,308 --> 00:14:02,327
Now, let's forget all about it.
204
00:14:04,460 --> 00:14:06,870
If you came next week, you'd have
found three of your aunts here.
205
00:14:07,162 --> 00:14:09,049
Ellen is bringing her
sisters back from London.
206
00:14:09,406 --> 00:14:11,513
What, the potty ones?
- Potty?
207
00:14:11,729 --> 00:14:13,188
Queer as mice in a cage.
208
00:14:14,466 --> 00:14:16,775
They're quite harmless.
Especially when aunt Ellen's around.
209
00:14:17,257 --> 00:14:20,141
For comfort, they're coming
to stay here for a few days.
210
00:14:20,646 --> 00:14:23,031
They seem to mean quite a
great deal to your aunt Ellen.
211
00:14:23,247 --> 00:14:24,573
Oh, they would.
212
00:14:25,219 --> 00:14:27,164
She's looked after them
since she was a kid.
213
00:14:27,426 --> 00:14:30,676
She's watched over them like they were
a couple of perishing babes-in-arms.
214
00:14:31,397 --> 00:14:34,292
I think that's very commendable of her.
- Perhaps, but ..
215
00:14:34,796 --> 00:14:36,355
Think of all the fun she's missing.
216
00:14:37,398 --> 00:14:40,282
What, for example?
- You know.
217
00:14:41,511 --> 00:14:42,582
I see.
218
00:14:43,201 --> 00:14:46,094
I have to be toddling along.
I'll pay you back as soon as I can.
219
00:14:51,506 --> 00:14:54,128
I'd appreciate if you don't mention
our little transaction to aunt Ellen.
220
00:14:54,344 --> 00:14:55,709
Very well. If you like.
221
00:14:56,156 --> 00:14:57,446
How about .. whatsername?
222
00:14:57,987 --> 00:15:00,717
Lucy? Oh she won't say anything.
I'll take care of that.
223
00:15:01,147 --> 00:15:01,848
Thanks.
224
00:15:04,128 --> 00:15:05,104
So long my lady.
225
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,428
And again from the heart. I'll never
forget your kindness as long as I live.
226
00:15:10,954 --> 00:15:12,887
I hope you live a great
deal longer than that.
227
00:15:41,690 --> 00:15:45,882
Isn't it funny, Ellen? You can't see
the wind and you can't touch it.
228
00:15:46,164 --> 00:15:47,202
But it's there.
229
00:15:48,220 --> 00:15:51,549
I think you'd better have this round
you, dear. It's getting quite chilly.
230
00:15:52,323 --> 00:15:54,061
Listen .. what's that?
231
00:15:54,324 --> 00:15:56,455
Those are The Priory bells, dear.
From over the marshes.
232
00:15:56,671 --> 00:15:58,875
Oh .. I shan't like that.
233
00:16:00,388 --> 00:16:03,269
She hates bells.
- Especially church bells.
234
00:16:03,959 --> 00:16:06,415
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong.
235
00:16:06,823 --> 00:16:08,452
Aren't the marshes pretty.
236
00:16:09,396 --> 00:16:11,378
The grass is too long and untidy.
237
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,566
If I had a knife and a bit of string,
I'd cut it and tie it up in bundles.
238
00:16:18,823 --> 00:16:21,809
Are there any sheep here on the marshes?
- Yes, Miss.
239
00:16:22,119 --> 00:16:25,040
I think sheep are so clever to
chew their cud the way they do.
240
00:16:25,490 --> 00:16:26,918
It's very difficult.
241
00:16:27,875 --> 00:16:29,030
I've tried.
242
00:16:31,415 --> 00:16:34,749
You ought to be a sailor, Miss.
They're always chewing tobacco.
243
00:16:35,584 --> 00:16:37,415
The man I was to marry was a sailor.
244
00:16:38,195 --> 00:16:39,482
He gave me this.
245
00:16:40,242 --> 00:16:42,105
It's all I have to remember him by.
246
00:16:43,219 --> 00:16:44,631
He was wrecked at sea.
247
00:16:46,036 --> 00:16:47,692
They were all drowned.
248
00:16:48,609 --> 00:16:50,781
It must have been a bit of
sadness for you, Missy.
249
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,617
Oh no. I've quite forgotten
what he looked like.
250
00:16:53,867 --> 00:16:58,114
I saw a drowned man once. They took
him out of the Thames. He was green.
251
00:16:59,726 --> 00:17:00,800
Frogs.
252
00:17:01,614 --> 00:17:03,598
There must be lots of frogs.
253
00:17:04,872 --> 00:17:07,194
We used to have such
fun with them at home.
254
00:17:07,942 --> 00:17:11,767
We used to put them on the dining-table
and make them jump in the marmalade pot.
255
00:17:24,590 --> 00:17:27,124
Look. There's a bird's nest.
- So there is.
256
00:17:27,425 --> 00:17:29,585
It must be last summer's.
- I should like to have that.
257
00:17:29,801 --> 00:17:30,956
Bates, stop please.
258
00:17:33,961 --> 00:17:35,709
Oh .. I have it.
259
00:17:37,576 --> 00:17:40,244
Isn't it beautiful?
- Oh dear, it's all cobwebby.
260
00:17:41,088 --> 00:17:43,437
And it has a horrid smell.
- It mustn't be wasted.
261
00:17:43,773 --> 00:17:46,676
I shall save it until next year
and then I'll put it back again.
262
00:17:47,792 --> 00:17:49,568
Who knows where we'll be next year?
263
00:17:50,919 --> 00:17:53,493
Not in London anyway. You promised that.
264
00:17:54,646 --> 00:17:56,807
Yes, I promised that.
- Look.
265
00:17:59,651 --> 00:18:02,019
Louisa .. how did that happen?
266
00:18:02,290 --> 00:18:03,334
She did it.
- Who?
267
00:18:03,721 --> 00:18:04,985
That woman in London.
268
00:18:05,980 --> 00:18:08,599
She didn't give us enough food either.
- 'Discipline' she said.
269
00:18:09,276 --> 00:18:11,196
Louisa used to cry all night.
270
00:18:11,605 --> 00:18:13,863
I didn't. She couldn't discipline me.
271
00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:17,371
We'll be alright here
though with Miss Fiske.
272
00:18:17,911 --> 00:18:18,927
She won't beat us.
273
00:18:20,371 --> 00:18:22,086
No darling, she won't beat you.
274
00:18:23,299 --> 00:18:24,774
No-one will again. Ever.
275
00:18:35,203 --> 00:18:38,132
Now remember what I told you both.
You're not to talk too much.
276
00:18:38,505 --> 00:18:40,175
Wait until Miss Fiske knows you better.
277
00:18:40,391 --> 00:18:42,433
How can she get to know
us better if we don't talk?
278
00:18:43,833 --> 00:18:45,955
Come along dear.
Bates, get the luggage, will you.
279
00:18:46,171 --> 00:18:47,147
Yes, ma'am.
280
00:18:55,788 --> 00:18:57,441
They look harmless.
- What, Miss?
281
00:18:58,044 --> 00:19:00,065
Never mind. Go and put the kettle on.
- Yes, Miss.
282
00:19:07,201 --> 00:19:09,332
Well, here we are.
- I'm glad.
283
00:19:09,821 --> 00:19:12,750
Miss Fiske .. my sister
Emily, my sister Louisa.
284
00:19:13,012 --> 00:19:15,614
How do you do, Emily?
- We're very glad to be here.
285
00:19:16,355 --> 00:19:18,625
Louisa.
- I don't like people to touch me.
286
00:19:20,092 --> 00:19:22,203
I'm afraid Miss Fiske will
think you're very rude.
287
00:19:22,637 --> 00:19:25,893
They're rather tired, poor dears.
- I never get tired.
288
00:19:26,246 --> 00:19:28,424
I sometimes walk about
the house all night.
289
00:19:29,354 --> 00:19:32,358
Do you indeed?
- No, of course she doesn't, Miss Fiske.
290
00:19:35,582 --> 00:19:37,090
What beautiful furniture.
291
00:19:37,766 --> 00:19:40,401
Just like we used to have
before we lost all our money.
292
00:19:40,705 --> 00:19:44,104
Some of these <i>are </i>our things, dear.
Miss Fiske bought them at my Curio Shop.
293
00:19:44,499 --> 00:19:45,716
I want my tea.
294
00:19:45,982 --> 00:19:49,687
Emily, see .. here's the
grand champ himself.
295
00:19:50,198 --> 00:19:52,303
Remember when father bought him for us?
296
00:19:52,874 --> 00:19:54,913
I wonder if his head still nods.
297
00:19:55,230 --> 00:19:57,850
Ding-dong, ding-dong ..
- Louisa, dear.
298
00:19:58,188 --> 00:20:00,094
Bates, be careful.
You'll scratch the furniture.
299
00:20:00,329 --> 00:20:01,719
Very good, ma'am.
300
00:20:07,149 --> 00:20:09,201
I must say you've brought
enough luggage with you.
301
00:20:09,549 --> 00:20:11,220
We've brought everything.
- Everything?
302
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,760
We had to.
- Why?
303
00:20:13,089 --> 00:20:14,453
When they sent for the police.
304
00:20:14,787 --> 00:20:17,483
Now, my dears. I'm sure all this
can't possibly interest Miss Fiske.
305
00:20:17,819 --> 00:20:19,779
I think we should go up
and rest a bit before tea.
306
00:20:20,125 --> 00:20:22,023
Whatever you say, Ellen.
- Come along, Emily.
307
00:20:22,239 --> 00:20:24,948
That smelly train was very dirty.
308
00:20:25,188 --> 00:20:28,708
She's always fussing about the dirt.
I hope you keep things tidy here.
309
00:20:28,924 --> 00:20:32,483
Cleanliness is next to
Godliness .. don't you agree?
310
00:20:33,018 --> 00:20:35,985
Well .. I'm quite clean, I believe.
311
00:20:36,652 --> 00:20:39,005
But I don't know that
I'm particularly Godly.
312
00:20:39,668 --> 00:20:41,267
I thought you were a Roman.
313
00:20:41,837 --> 00:20:42,824
Isn't that yours?
314
00:20:43,077 --> 00:20:45,458
Miss Fiske is a Roman, dear.
And a very devoted one.
315
00:20:45,929 --> 00:20:47,614
Come along Louisa, Emily.
316
00:20:47,957 --> 00:20:50,102
Father, didn't approve of Romans.
317
00:20:52,032 --> 00:20:53,290
And neither do I.
318
00:21:13,724 --> 00:21:16,116
I expect it's one of those boobies.
319
00:21:16,588 --> 00:21:20,641
Miss Emily was drawing cat's faces on
brown paper yesterday when you were out.
320
00:21:21,138 --> 00:21:23,357
I can't stand it. I can't stand it.
321
00:21:23,721 --> 00:21:26,634
My lovely paisley shawl. It's ruined.
322
00:21:27,927 --> 00:21:31,189
You'd better get some vinegar and see
if you can do something about this spot.
323
00:21:31,443 --> 00:21:32,256
Yes, Miss.
324
00:21:32,810 --> 00:21:35,900
I'm utterly exhausted clearing
up after their messes.
325
00:21:36,172 --> 00:21:38,204
I don't wonder, Miss. So am I.
326
00:21:38,529 --> 00:21:42,030
And you should see their
bedroom. It's like a goat's-pen.
327
00:21:42,483 --> 00:21:45,783
I know it. If it isn't one
thing, it's another.
328
00:21:46,153 --> 00:21:49,633
For the last six weeks were like living
in the middle of Piccadilly Circus.
329
00:21:50,566 --> 00:21:52,478
My heart won't stand it.
330
00:21:53,336 --> 00:21:55,144
Go and get my smelling salts.
331
00:21:56,829 --> 00:21:59,720
Where are they, Miss?
- In the usual place, of course.
332
00:21:59,984 --> 00:22:01,928
Nothing is in the usual
place these days.
333
00:22:02,169 --> 00:22:02,822
No.
334
00:22:03,664 --> 00:22:05,532
Well then, get me a cold compress.
335
00:22:06,303 --> 00:22:09,597
I shall lie down and
take a nap while I can.
336
00:22:13,641 --> 00:22:14,627
Miss Fiske.
337
00:22:14,950 --> 00:22:18,862
Yes, what is it? What is it?
- Will they be staying much longer?
338
00:22:20,743 --> 00:22:23,049
They'll have my invitation
to go this evening.
339
00:22:26,420 --> 00:22:30,273
Oh dear, I wonder where Emily has
gone to. She ought to be back by now.
340
00:22:31,513 --> 00:22:33,331
I can't see her anywhere.
341
00:22:33,776 --> 00:22:37,997
I wish I were brave like Emily.
I should like to take long walks too.
342
00:22:38,404 --> 00:22:40,016
And pick up things.
343
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,248
Perhaps I shall be able to
after we've stayed here longer.
344
00:22:44,902 --> 00:22:46,145
I'm sure you will, dear.
345
00:22:46,442 --> 00:22:48,530
I shall be staying here, shan't I?
346
00:22:49,544 --> 00:22:52,354
You're not planning to send us away?
Are you, Ellen?
347
00:22:53,227 --> 00:22:54,739
No dear. Of course I'm not.
348
00:22:55,199 --> 00:22:57,189
This is what you've always promised us.
349
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,885
A little place in the country
where we can always be safe.
350
00:23:01,424 --> 00:23:04,604
Yes .. it's the one thing
I've been working for.
351
00:23:05,415 --> 00:23:07,236
Ever since we had to
give up the old house.
352
00:23:07,574 --> 00:23:10,567
Naturally, Estuary House
could never be like that.
353
00:23:11,114 --> 00:23:12,511
But it's nice enough.
354
00:23:12,898 --> 00:23:14,774
Yes, and Miss Fiske has
been very kind to us.
355
00:23:15,471 --> 00:23:18,924
Miss Fiske .. may I tell
you something, Ellen?
356
00:23:19,743 --> 00:23:21,102
Just one of my secrets.
357
00:23:21,866 --> 00:23:22,931
Of course you may.
358
00:23:23,717 --> 00:23:25,589
I don't like Miss Fiske.
359
00:23:27,025 --> 00:23:30,951
Couldn't we send her away? Then it
would <i>really</i> be just the three of us.
360
00:23:31,260 --> 00:23:33,656
But I keep telling you,
Louisa. It's <i>her</i> house.
361
00:23:34,059 --> 00:23:36,189
Oh no. You'll never
make me believe that.
362
00:23:36,987 --> 00:23:38,457
All out lovely things are there.
363
00:23:39,795 --> 00:23:43,336
We'll never have to go away, will we?
- No, darling. I promised you.
364
00:23:44,163 --> 00:23:44,998
Never.
365
00:23:46,020 --> 00:23:48,323
I think Miss Fiske wants us to go.
366
00:23:49,091 --> 00:23:50,341
Both of us.
367
00:23:50,928 --> 00:23:52,812
I'm sure I can persuade
her to let you stay.
368
00:23:54,613 --> 00:23:56,349
Oh dear, I do wish Emily would come.
369
00:23:56,602 --> 00:23:58,912
Maybe we'd better get along
home in case she's waiting there.
370
00:23:59,701 --> 00:24:00,838
Come along, dear.
371
00:24:01,945 --> 00:24:04,810
I don't want her upsetting Miss Fiske
again. She can be very tactless.
372
00:24:23,370 --> 00:24:25,220
Here girl, take this.
373
00:24:25,436 --> 00:24:27,267
Thanks a lot. What are we to do with it?
374
00:24:27,506 --> 00:24:29,709
Put it in the woodshed,
where it belongs.
375
00:24:29,962 --> 00:24:33,268
The woodshed is full. I won't have
you cluttering up my kitchen with it.
376
00:24:33,731 --> 00:24:35,093
Very well then.
377
00:24:44,580 --> 00:24:46,788
Oh dear ..
378
00:24:48,844 --> 00:24:50,225
What is it now?
379
00:24:54,808 --> 00:24:56,535
Wait until Miss Fiske sees this.
380
00:24:57,306 --> 00:24:59,938
What's the matter now? My goodness.
381
00:25:00,154 --> 00:25:02,116
More wood?
- Yes. Miss Emily dumped it.
382
00:25:02,602 --> 00:25:04,986
Never mind. You get out of here.
- I got a nice lot today.
383
00:25:05,672 --> 00:25:08,305
What are you thinking of? Making a
mess with it all over my clean floor.
384
00:25:08,521 --> 00:25:10,394
The girl wouldn't let
me put it in the kitchen.
385
00:25:10,671 --> 00:25:13,708
She's quite right. I told you to stop
bringing in wood. We have enough.
386
00:25:13,924 --> 00:25:16,497
I must tidy up the river
banks. I hate waste.
387
00:25:16,713 --> 00:25:18,995
And I hate litter. Now you
clear it away immediately.
388
00:25:19,239 --> 00:25:21,201
I won't be ordered to do things.
389
00:25:22,767 --> 00:25:24,118
This is too much.
390
00:25:24,496 --> 00:25:26,293
My best polished table.
391
00:25:26,789 --> 00:25:28,933
Look how these shells have scratched it.
392
00:25:29,269 --> 00:25:31,965
What's this? Wet seaweed and a horrid ..
393
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,604
Dead bird.
394
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,561
Leave my bird alone. And my shells.
395
00:25:37,060 --> 00:25:38,248
They are my treasures.
396
00:25:38,610 --> 00:25:41,515
We don't understand expensive things.
It's so long since we had any.
397
00:25:41,981 --> 00:25:44,044
I know it's very simple of me.
But I am simple.
398
00:25:44,260 --> 00:25:46,087
Emily .. what's wrong?
399
00:25:46,309 --> 00:25:48,986
I hate her. She threw my
bird into the fireplace.
400
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,507
Emily, control yourself.
401
00:25:50,723 --> 00:25:52,603
See what she's done
with her ridiculous shells.
402
00:25:52,885 --> 00:25:54,816
It will take a month's
polishing to put it right.
403
00:25:55,032 --> 00:25:56,708
I'm sorry Miss Fiske, I'll put it right.
404
00:25:57,276 --> 00:26:00,394
No Ellen, you shan't. I'll do it.
Let me do it. I'll polish it.
405
00:26:00,610 --> 00:26:02,434
Every day, all through the winter.
406
00:26:02,769 --> 00:26:05,511
Sweet of you, Louisa. But I doubt
you'll be here through the winter.
407
00:26:05,969 --> 00:26:07,630
But we shall. Ellen said so.
408
00:26:07,953 --> 00:26:10,046
You're mistaken, Louisa.
I said nothing of the kind.
409
00:26:10,262 --> 00:26:12,701
But you did. You promised.
- Louisa, will you be quiet.
410
00:26:16,013 --> 00:26:18,157
My heavens. This is the last straw.
411
00:26:18,802 --> 00:26:20,996
You'll drive me as crazy as yourselves.
412
00:26:24,448 --> 00:26:25,406
Oh, Ellen.
413
00:26:27,312 --> 00:26:28,535
Miss Fiske.
414
00:26:29,134 --> 00:26:31,588
I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to say that, but ..
415
00:26:32,377 --> 00:26:34,890
I've had about as much as I can endure.
416
00:26:36,396 --> 00:26:39,219
Emily .. take Louisa upstairs.
417
00:26:39,889 --> 00:26:41,482
Now, stop your crying, Louisa.
418
00:26:42,358 --> 00:26:44,045
There's nothing to cry about.
419
00:26:45,286 --> 00:26:46,141
Do you hear?
420
00:26:46,743 --> 00:26:48,817
Go upstairs. Both of you.
421
00:26:51,981 --> 00:26:53,380
And close the door behind you.
422
00:26:58,271 --> 00:27:00,113
That was a cruel thing to say.
423
00:27:00,788 --> 00:27:01,944
But it's true.
424
00:27:02,778 --> 00:27:06,123
One with her telescope and the other
with her mania for collecting things.
425
00:27:06,703 --> 00:27:08,149
They are insane, both of them.
426
00:27:08,609 --> 00:27:10,479
Please don't use that word again.
427
00:27:11,078 --> 00:27:12,310
Emily was right.
428
00:27:12,956 --> 00:27:14,664
But then people who
have all they want ..
429
00:27:15,013 --> 00:27:17,979
Never understand how much the smallest
things mean to those who haven't.
430
00:27:18,345 --> 00:27:19,046
Really?
431
00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:21,362
I don't think this calls for a sermon.
432
00:27:22,276 --> 00:27:24,365
I've been more than generous
to you and your sisters.
433
00:27:24,581 --> 00:27:26,750
People have always been very
generous to you, Miss Fiske.
434
00:27:26,966 --> 00:27:29,126
My sisters and I have never had
friends to send <i>us</i> money.
435
00:27:29,379 --> 00:27:31,480
That's hardly my fault, is it.
- No.
436
00:27:31,793 --> 00:27:35,189
Don't you feel you have a responsibility
to those less fortunate than you?
437
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,615
I don't know what you're talking about.
438
00:27:38,441 --> 00:27:40,476
Life hasn't been very
kind to us, Miss Fiske.
439
00:27:40,817 --> 00:27:42,798
Every penny we've ever
had, I've had to work for.
440
00:27:43,014 --> 00:27:45,706
Every penny. But at least
we have our self-respect.
441
00:27:47,024 --> 00:27:48,654
How dare you.
442
00:27:49,634 --> 00:27:51,866
How dare you criticise my life.
443
00:27:52,216 --> 00:27:55,606
Do you think I don't envy women who
have respectability? Who have families?
444
00:27:55,822 --> 00:27:58,890
Who aren't just forgotten and pensioned
off when they lose their stock-in-trade.
445
00:27:59,208 --> 00:28:01,196
Then you can't blame me
for fighting for my family.
446
00:28:01,412 --> 00:28:03,466
Very admirable, but it's
your family and not mine.
447
00:28:03,941 --> 00:28:05,065
Let me tell you this.
448
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,935
Your sisters, insane or not,
have overstayed their welcome.
449
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,611
I invite them here for two days
and they've stayed six weeks.
450
00:28:10,827 --> 00:28:13,450
Or perhaps you were planning
to keep them here forever?
451
00:28:14,485 --> 00:28:16,324
Well .. I had thought ..
452
00:28:17,124 --> 00:28:19,622
That I might pay something out
of my wages for their keep.
453
00:28:19,895 --> 00:28:22,261
Ellen, you're a hypocrite.
You're worse, you're a cheat.
454
00:28:22,937 --> 00:28:26,279
You meant to foist your wretched
brood on me and bleed me white.
455
00:28:26,626 --> 00:28:30,814
And when I saw through your scheme, you
had the insolence to turn and abuse me.
456
00:28:31,124 --> 00:28:32,701
But you've chosen the wrong woman.
457
00:28:32,917 --> 00:28:35,255
You get those sisters of yours
out of this house at once.
458
00:28:35,604 --> 00:28:37,644
And take a month's wages
and go with them.
459
00:28:39,743 --> 00:28:40,815
Miss Fiske.
460
00:29:08,710 --> 00:29:11,039
Ellen .. why aren't you in bed?
461
00:29:11,451 --> 00:29:13,179
Why are you prowling about at this hour?
462
00:29:13,761 --> 00:29:16,786
Miss Fiske, may I come in?
I must talk with you, please.
463
00:29:17,357 --> 00:29:18,516
Well, mind your tongue.
464
00:29:18,764 --> 00:29:20,987
We don't want any more of
this afternoon's unpleasantness.
465
00:29:23,612 --> 00:29:24,936
I'm sorry about that.
466
00:29:25,715 --> 00:29:27,833
I was wrong. I shouldn't
have spoken to you as I did.
467
00:29:28,791 --> 00:29:30,462
No .. you shouldn't.
468
00:29:37,617 --> 00:29:38,744
Miss Fiske.
469
00:29:39,702 --> 00:29:42,303
Do you remember the letter that arrived
the day I went away to London?
470
00:29:42,556 --> 00:29:46,058
Yes .. what about it?
- It was from their landlady.
471
00:29:46,613 --> 00:29:47,747
Emily and Louisa.
472
00:29:48,187 --> 00:29:49,552
Had been a little difficult.
473
00:29:49,893 --> 00:29:51,137
She'd sent for the police.
474
00:29:52,329 --> 00:29:54,369
They were going to be
put away in an institution.
475
00:29:54,764 --> 00:29:57,034
The landlady was quite right.
That's where they belong.
476
00:29:57,393 --> 00:30:00,433
But Miss Fiske, you don't
understand. They're my sisters.
477
00:30:00,820 --> 00:30:02,707
You don't know what I've
gone through for them.
478
00:30:02,923 --> 00:30:05,036
They've no-one else in the
world to turn to but me.
479
00:30:05,740 --> 00:30:08,948
I pleaded with the police to release
them. They agreed on one condition.
480
00:30:09,533 --> 00:30:11,458
That they were to remain
in my personal care.
481
00:30:11,740 --> 00:30:13,336
That I was to be responsible for them.
482
00:30:13,787 --> 00:30:15,440
And if there were any more complaints.
483
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,522
That they were to be put away forever.
That's why I can't send them away.
484
00:30:19,825 --> 00:30:21,889
All this devotion is
very admirable, Ellen.
485
00:30:22,285 --> 00:30:24,471
But I fail to see how I can
help in any way at all.
486
00:30:24,801 --> 00:30:26,903
Oh but you can. You can, Miss Fiske.
487
00:30:27,618 --> 00:30:29,823
I thought perhaps they
might use the attic upstairs.
488
00:30:30,162 --> 00:30:32,379
They'll stay there out of the
way where you don't see them.
489
00:30:32,716 --> 00:30:34,876
They could use the back stairs
when they come in and out.
490
00:30:35,129 --> 00:30:37,055
Ellen, what are you talking about?
491
00:30:37,271 --> 00:30:40,267
I promise they'll never come near you.
You'll never know they're in the house.
492
00:30:40,829 --> 00:30:43,797
I'll look after them myself.
I'll cook their meals for them.
493
00:30:44,387 --> 00:30:46,231
I promise they won't
be any more trouble.
494
00:30:46,913 --> 00:30:49,120
Miss Fiske, they must
be with me, they must.
495
00:30:49,439 --> 00:30:51,590
I'll pay for their keep.
I'll work for nothing.
496
00:30:51,834 --> 00:30:54,509
Please .. oh, please Miss Fiske.
497
00:30:54,829 --> 00:30:56,720
Ellen, have you quite
gone out of your mind?
498
00:30:57,064 --> 00:31:00,126
You must be blind if you can't realise
they'd always be getting in my way.
499
00:31:00,342 --> 00:31:02,612
You pack them off tomorrow.
- But, Miss Fiske. Won't ..?
500
00:31:02,828 --> 00:31:04,369
No Ellen, my mind is made up.
501
00:31:05,471 --> 00:31:09,239
If you want to, you can stay here a few
days until you've found a new situation.
502
00:31:10,018 --> 00:31:12,814
Now run along to bed. And make
certain they leave tomorrow.
503
00:31:14,132 --> 00:31:16,592
You wouldn't want me to be sending
for the police, would you?
504
00:31:18,682 --> 00:31:20,329
Goodnight Ellen. I'm tired.
505
00:31:24,230 --> 00:31:25,186
Goodnight.
506
00:31:48,528 --> 00:31:50,908
But you told her you were
going to send us away.
507
00:31:52,592 --> 00:31:54,344
I'm not going to send you away.
508
00:31:54,732 --> 00:31:56,620
We heard you. We were listening.
509
00:31:57,784 --> 00:31:59,386
Isn't she terrible, Ellen?
510
00:32:00,207 --> 00:32:01,536
She's wicked.
511
00:32:03,006 --> 00:32:04,907
I'm not going to send you away.
512
00:32:06,836 --> 00:32:07,678
Never.
513
00:32:08,554 --> 00:32:11,269
If you're not sending us away,
what are you going to do?
514
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,293
I don't know.
515
00:32:16,674 --> 00:32:17,831
I must think.
516
00:32:30,078 --> 00:32:32,550
I've always wanted
to explore an old castle.
517
00:32:32,971 --> 00:32:35,857
Will it have a dungeon do you think?
- They all have dungeons.
518
00:32:36,191 --> 00:32:36,978
With bats.
519
00:32:37,415 --> 00:32:39,138
No, dear. Bats are in belfries.
520
00:32:39,459 --> 00:32:43,180
There's sure to be secret passageways
and places where they'd hide things.
521
00:32:45,198 --> 00:32:46,346
Like that.
522
00:32:54,259 --> 00:32:58,372
Yes .. I'm sure Miss Fiske has lots
of exciting things hidden in there.
523
00:32:58,588 --> 00:33:00,212
Her jewels, I'm sure.
524
00:33:01,019 --> 00:33:04,181
I've looked in all her boxes and
haven't been able to find them.
525
00:33:04,718 --> 00:33:07,167
Are you both ready?
- Oh yes. Quite.
526
00:33:07,404 --> 00:33:10,004
I managed to pack all
the lunch into one bag.
527
00:33:10,660 --> 00:33:11,630
Mine.
528
00:33:12,914 --> 00:33:15,600
Come here and sit down.
I want to talk to you both.
529
00:33:25,193 --> 00:33:25,808
Now.
530
00:33:26,107 --> 00:33:28,868
I haven't told you the real reason why
you're being sent away for a whole day.
531
00:33:29,589 --> 00:33:32,633
The truth is I want to be entirely
alone with Miss Fiske for a few hours.
532
00:33:32,849 --> 00:33:34,817
Is that why you got rid of Lucy too?
533
00:33:35,131 --> 00:33:37,177
I didn't get rid of Lucy, Emily.
She had a toothache.
534
00:33:37,393 --> 00:33:40,293
Oh Ellen dear, you know that's
not true. She didn't want to go at all.
535
00:33:40,754 --> 00:33:42,833
I said she had a toothache, Louisa.
536
00:33:44,698 --> 00:33:45,628
Now listen.
537
00:33:46,220 --> 00:33:49,408
Last night, while you were both asleep,
I had a long talk with Miss Fiske.
538
00:33:50,131 --> 00:33:52,867
She's tired of the marshes
and wants to travel for a bit.
539
00:33:53,530 --> 00:33:55,633
I've persuaded her to
sell this house to me.
540
00:33:55,849 --> 00:33:58,210
Not really, Ellen?
- We haven't discussed price yet.
541
00:33:58,976 --> 00:34:02,422
That's why I must be alone with her, so
we can talk with nothing to distract us.
542
00:34:02,694 --> 00:34:05,355
She may want more than
you're prepared to pay.
543
00:34:07,101 --> 00:34:09,142
I'm prepared to pay
quite a big price, Emily.
544
00:34:09,569 --> 00:34:11,442
Oh, lovely, lovely, lovely.
545
00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:14,491
Oh Emily, aren't you excited?
- Louisa, be quiet.
546
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:17,415
Now, there's one more thing.
547
00:34:18,401 --> 00:34:19,716
The most important.
548
00:34:35,231 --> 00:34:36,722
You see this bible, both of you?
549
00:34:37,587 --> 00:34:39,899
I want you to swear on it.
By father's memory.
550
00:34:40,590 --> 00:34:43,550
That you'll never repeat a word of my
buying this house as long as you live.
551
00:34:45,940 --> 00:34:46,963
What do I say?
552
00:34:47,581 --> 00:34:48,963
Just say 'I swear'.

Oh .. I swear.

You too, Emily.

00:34:52,787 --> 00:34:54,831
I won't swear on the bible. It's wicked.

If you don't Emily ..
557
00:34:56,869 --> 00:34:59,143
I shan't buy the house and I'll
send you both back to London.

Oh Emily, be sensible.

to do things .. I promise.

Have a good time.

May we never meet again.

May we come in?
- Yes.

I'd like to speak to Miss Ellen.
Unless Miss Fiske is back?
577
00:39:29,038 --> 00:39:32,096
No, she's still away. I'll fetch Ellen.

We're making jam.

Good evening.

It isn't a very good one, is it?

No, as a matter of fact it's not.
Cats and dogs.

Good evening, Sisters.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

But we're in the middle of
putting up our quince jam.

Please don't apologise. I'm afraid
we've come on a begging errand.

Our supplier of oil hasn't
arrived from Rochester.

if we might borrow a can until Sunday.

about with the storm and all?

- No, she's away.

I'm very particular who I know.

For a moment, when I saw the candles
burning, I thought Miss Fiske was back.

No. It was quite unexpected.

- She's taken to lighting those candles.

00:48:21,642 --> 00:48:23,379
It wasn't the wind, Ellen.
720
00:48:38,904 --> 00:48:41,109
I say auntie, you've not
turned Roman have you?
721
00:48:41,466 --> 00:48:42,763
I do this for a friend.
722
00:48:48,243 --> 00:48:49,129
Now, Albert.
723
00:48:49,869 --> 00:48:52,134
Let's stop all this 'auntie' nonsense
and get down to cases.
724
00:48:52,862 --> 00:48:54,748
Why have you come here
and what do you want?
725
00:48:55,073 --> 00:48:56,918
Well auntie .. I mean, Ellen.
726
00:48:57,692 --> 00:49:02,208
To cut it fine, I'm taking a compulsory
holiday from my bank over in Gravesend.
727
00:49:02,602 --> 00:49:05,107
In other words, you've lost your job.
- I've given it up.
728
00:49:05,738 --> 00:49:07,522
You haven't done anything
wrong, have you?
729
00:49:09,237 --> 00:49:11,605
I sort-of helped myself to a
little salary I wasn't entitled to.
730
00:49:12,885 --> 00:49:14,393
You mean, you've stolen money.
731
00:49:16,415 --> 00:49:19,181
This is rattling good brandy.
- Answer me, Albert.
732
00:49:21,270 --> 00:49:23,848
You've got it.
- How much?
733
00:49:24,594 --> 00:49:27,402
A small matter of a hundred pounds.
- I'll see.
734
00:49:30,342 --> 00:49:33,271
I suppose you want me to give you the
hundred pounds so you can put it back?
735
00:49:33,515 --> 00:49:36,477
I'm afraid it's too late for that.
They found out, the police.
736
00:49:37,180 --> 00:49:38,164
The police?
737
00:49:38,389 --> 00:49:42,016
A friend passed me the tip they were
coming. So I .. I took French leave.
738
00:49:42,455 --> 00:49:44,956
But .. they'll follow you.
They'll come here.
739
00:49:46,079 --> 00:49:49,774
Don't worry .. no-one knows I've got
relations out here on the marshes.
740
00:49:51,122 --> 00:49:52,699
I'll be safe here for a lifetime.
741
00:49:53,159 --> 00:49:55,319
You're certainly not going
to stay here for a lifetime.
742
00:49:55,769 --> 00:49:57,815
Surely you don't mind me
staying for a while, do you?
743
00:49:58,340 --> 00:50:00,745
Until it all blows over.
- Then what do you propose to do?
744
00:50:01,094 --> 00:50:03,725
Clear out of the country.
America, Australia. Any old where.
745
00:50:04,230 --> 00:50:06,552
I'm .. counting on you to help me.
746
00:50:06,868 --> 00:50:08,188
I need money for my passage.
747
00:50:08,631 --> 00:50:09,630
I'm .. I'm stony.
748
00:50:11,353 --> 00:50:13,246
It won't cost much. Steerage.
749
00:50:13,691 --> 00:50:15,882
I don't see why I should concern
myself with your affairs.
750
00:50:16,414 --> 00:50:17,870
I'll land in prison if you don't.
751
00:50:19,541 --> 00:50:22,420
You're not the sort to turn anybody down
who's in trouble and needed your help.
752
00:50:23,210 --> 00:50:24,969
You wouldn't fail your
own flesh and blood.
753
00:50:25,185 --> 00:50:27,020
I'm no flesh and blood of yours, Albert.
754
00:50:27,468 --> 00:50:29,199
Won't you give me a
chance to start again?
755
00:50:29,415 --> 00:50:30,734
I promise. Cross my heart.
756
00:50:31,090 --> 00:50:33,457
I'll never do anything wrong
again for the rest of my natural.
757
00:50:33,673 --> 00:50:35,143
Let me go.
758
00:50:41,301 --> 00:50:44,030
Very well. I'll do it.
- Bless you, Ellen.
759
00:50:44,415 --> 00:50:46,973
You're a daisy, you are.
- We'll talk about it in the morning.
760
00:50:47,820 --> 00:50:50,180
You can sleep on the sofa tonight.
- I don't mind where I sleep.
761
00:50:50,396 --> 00:50:51,419
But mind you ..
762
00:50:51,635 --> 00:50:54,218
You can only stay until I've
arranged your passage on the boat.
763
00:50:54,434 --> 00:50:57,466
Anything you say,
Ellen old girl .. what's that?
764
00:50:57,983 --> 00:50:59,945
That's just the maid.
She's been out on an errand.
765
00:51:01,006 --> 00:51:02,550
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss?
766
00:51:04,518 --> 00:51:06,220
They'll be a gentleman
staying the night.
767
00:51:06,639 --> 00:51:07,819
A gentleman staying?
768
00:51:08,099 --> 00:51:09,776
A relation. He'll sleep in here.
769
00:51:10,033 --> 00:51:12,679
Now go to your room and change your
wet clothes before you start sneezing.
770
00:51:12,895 --> 00:51:15,090
Yes, Miss .. goodnight.
- Goodnight.
771
00:51:15,306 --> 00:51:16,096
Goodnight.
772
00:51:16,620 --> 00:51:17,557
'Lucy', is it?
773
00:51:19,035 --> 00:51:20,472
Yes .. Lucy.
774
00:51:23,706 --> 00:51:25,687
I fancy that's all for
tonight, aunt Ellen.
775
00:51:26,138 --> 00:51:29,180
I'll just have a weed before
I turn in. The last of the day.
776
00:51:30,306 --> 00:51:32,729
You seem to be taking this
all very lightly, Albert.
777
00:51:33,490 --> 00:51:35,166
You have told me the worst, haven't you?
778
00:51:35,601 --> 00:51:38,110
I mean, there isn't anything else?
- What else?
779
00:51:40,653 --> 00:51:42,212
There are worse things than stealing.
780
00:51:42,987 --> 00:51:43,994
For instance?
781
00:51:45,828 --> 00:51:47,359
No, there's no blood on my hands.
782
00:51:47,743 --> 00:51:49,703
Putting people out calls
for <i>real </i>nerve, you know.
783
00:51:54,270 --> 00:51:55,303
Yes.
784
00:51:59,547 --> 00:52:01,321
Goodnight, Albert.
- Nighty night.
785
00:53:12,967 --> 00:53:15,145
Did you enjoy the sermon, Mr Bates?
786
00:53:15,603 --> 00:53:16,818
Mighty powerful, Miss.
787
00:53:17,293 --> 00:53:18,797
Yes. It was, wasn't it.
788
00:53:20,284 --> 00:53:22,109
But there was a lot I didn't understand.
789
00:53:23,490 --> 00:53:24,866
The part that went ..
790
00:53:25,639 --> 00:53:26,568
How was it?
791
00:53:27,496 --> 00:53:29,004
The wicked flee.
792
00:53:30,087 --> 00:53:32,717
When no man .. pursueth.
793
00:53:34,739 --> 00:53:36,575
But .. but ..
794
00:53:38,561 --> 00:53:41,233
The righteous are as bold as a lion.
795
00:54:08,319 --> 00:54:09,297
Well.
796
00:54:10,743 --> 00:54:12,479
What do you think you're doing?
797
00:54:13,690 --> 00:54:16,840
I fooled around with this padlock
last night and it .. came off.
798
00:54:17,592 --> 00:54:18,689
You shouldn't have.
799
00:54:19,344 --> 00:54:21,297
That's where Miss Fiske
keeps her valuables.
800
00:54:21,551 --> 00:54:23,794
How does she get at them?
With a pickaxe? Look.
801
00:54:25,898 --> 00:54:28,667
Well I never. All bricked up.
802
00:54:29,531 --> 00:54:31,248
I wonder why that was done.
803
00:54:31,530 --> 00:54:33,342
It wasn't that way the
last time I was here.
804
00:54:33,821 --> 00:54:35,868
So you've had your nose
in there before, have you?
805
00:54:36,948 --> 00:54:39,174
Funny what nasty thoughts
people have sometimes, isn't it.
806
00:54:39,390 --> 00:54:41,597
Funny how they're right
sometimes, isn't it.
807
00:54:59,037 --> 00:55:01,443
I wonder why anyone would want
to brick up a place like that?
808
00:55:02,492 --> 00:55:05,171
Maybe Miss Fiske put her jewels
in there before she went away.
809
00:55:05,807 --> 00:55:08,881
You know .. she's not one to take
any chances leaving them about.
810
00:55:09,234 --> 00:55:10,530
Even with your aunt Ellen.
811
00:55:12,817 --> 00:55:15,523
If there are any sparkles in there,
I wouldn't mind having a peep at them.
812
00:55:15,748 --> 00:55:18,262
I'm sure you wouldn't.
- And neither would you, I dare say.
813
00:55:19,833 --> 00:55:24,037
In fact .. I'm sure you'd like the feel
of some around your swan-like neck.
814
00:55:26,610 --> 00:55:28,629
A pretty pink ear like
that calls for diamonds.
815
00:55:29,014 --> 00:55:31,473
A wandering hand like yours
calls for a slap in the face.
816
00:55:31,821 --> 00:55:33,675
It's wicked to slap a
man's face on a Sunday.
817
00:55:33,981 --> 00:55:35,745
The better the day, the better the deed.
818
00:55:36,179 --> 00:55:37,595
That leaves my conscience clear.
819
00:55:42,243 --> 00:55:43,680
I'll scream.
820
00:55:45,098 --> 00:55:46,140
What's that?
821
00:55:52,703 --> 00:55:55,550
What do you think I'm made of?
- Sugar and spice.
822
00:55:56,874 --> 00:55:58,131
And everything nice.
823
00:56:01,849 --> 00:56:03,164
Blimey, you're strong.
824
00:56:06,001 --> 00:56:07,586
It's a wig. Whose is it?
825
00:56:08,854 --> 00:56:10,150
It is Miss Fiske's.
826
00:56:10,705 --> 00:56:12,391
Oh, it's her best one.
827
00:56:13,295 --> 00:56:15,239
She's as bald as a coot.
- Ah.
828
00:56:15,455 --> 00:56:17,042
A wonder she didn't take it with her.
829
00:56:18,291 --> 00:56:19,267
Hello.
830
00:56:19,605 --> 00:56:22,290
Ah, she left a lot of
her fancy dresses too.
831
00:56:23,063 --> 00:56:24,930
Perhaps she'll buy some
new ones up in London?
832
00:56:25,392 --> 00:56:26,938
These are new. Most of them.
833
00:56:27,918 --> 00:56:30,059
You'd better put that back up.
- Alright.
834
00:56:30,285 --> 00:56:31,783
Get up on this chair.
835
00:56:39,798 --> 00:56:41,554
You know, it <i>is</i> odd
she only took one wig.
836
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:45,357
On a trip, anything might happen.
A fire or a gust of wind.
837
00:56:45,751 --> 00:56:46,409
Oh.
838
00:56:47,720 --> 00:56:49,195
Here's Emily coming up the path.
839
00:56:50,109 --> 00:56:51,329
You'd better be off.
840
00:56:57,184 --> 00:56:58,794
Hello my old cup of tea.
841
00:57:00,310 --> 00:57:02,634
What are you doing with those
bull-rushes? Looking for Moses?
842
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,371
You're making fun of me .. naughty boy.
843
00:57:28,649 --> 00:57:31,405
Hello Ducky .. I'm glad you're
back before the others.
844
00:57:31,964 --> 00:57:34,668
It isn't often I have the chance of
a tête-à-tête with the family's fairest.
845
00:57:34,884 --> 00:57:36,672
You're never serious
about anything, Albert.
846
00:57:36,888 --> 00:57:38,846
I was never more serious in my life.
847
00:57:40,212 --> 00:57:42,518
The storm did an enormous
amount of damage.
848
00:57:42,869 --> 00:57:45,494
Roads into Rochester and Gravesend
were completely flooded.
849
00:57:46,258 --> 00:57:48,836
The Postman told me.
- I hope they stay that way.
850
00:57:50,098 --> 00:57:51,558
Allow me, Empress.
851
00:57:52,362 --> 00:57:54,681
There's only one letter today.
It's for Miss Fiske.
852
00:57:55,047 --> 00:57:55,755
Is it?
853
00:58:01,577 --> 00:58:03,226
It's a cosy nest you got here.
854
00:58:03,605 --> 00:58:05,661
What's will happen to you
when Miss Fiske gets back?
855
00:58:05,896 --> 00:58:07,596
Will she let you stay on, do you think?
856
00:58:11,455 --> 00:58:12,701
She isn't coming back.
857
00:58:13,532 --> 00:58:14,548
Why not?
858
00:58:15,342 --> 00:58:16,575
Ellen's bought the house.
859
00:58:19,252 --> 00:58:19,924
Go on.
860
00:58:20,140 --> 00:58:21,241
Yes. It's quite true.
861
00:58:22,049 --> 00:58:23,150
It's a secret though.
862
00:58:23,366 --> 00:58:26,001
Ellen made us swear on the bible
that we wouldn't tell anyone.
863
00:58:26,218 --> 00:58:28,300
But you are one of the family.
So it's alright.
864
00:58:29,873 --> 00:58:31,661
Why should she want
to keep it a secret, eh?
865
00:58:31,877 --> 00:58:33,636
I don't know.
It was done in a great hurry.
866
00:58:33,873 --> 00:58:35,534
Louisa and I were sent off to Rochester.
867
00:58:35,750 --> 00:58:38,669
Then when we came back that night,
Miss Fiske was gone and it was all over.
868
00:58:40,902 --> 00:58:42,862
You won't tell Ellen I told
you, will you, Albert?
869
00:58:43,234 --> 00:58:43,975
No.
870
00:58:45,212 --> 00:58:47,000
We'll make that our
little secret, shall we?
871
00:58:47,335 --> 00:58:48,064
Alright.
872
00:58:50,086 --> 00:58:52,513
It will be rather fun.
Having a secret from Ellen.
873
00:58:53,143 --> 00:58:55,628
She thinks she's the clever one.
But she isn't.
874
00:58:57,109 --> 00:58:57,924
Not always.
875
00:58:59,816 --> 00:59:00,402
No.
876
00:59:01,225 --> 00:59:02,040
Not always.
877
00:59:17,517 --> 00:59:19,294
Albert.
- What?
878
00:59:25,153 --> 00:59:26,418
Good morning.
879
00:59:28,974 --> 00:59:30,034
May we come in?
880
00:59:30,250 --> 00:59:32,261
Who's that?
- A couple of nuns from The Priory.
881
00:59:33,048 --> 00:59:36,099
You talk to them, Albert.
I've got to tidy up the orchard.
882
00:59:47,032 --> 00:59:51,087
Oh .. I didn't know there was
a young man staying here.
883
00:59:51,632 --> 00:59:52,844
Is Miss Ellen about?
884
00:59:53,060 --> 00:59:55,956
Sorry. She's gone over to the church at
Cawley. I'm her nephew, can I help?
885
00:59:56,487 --> 01:00:00,357
We came to return this. She lent us
a little oil last night. We ran short.
886
01:00:00,792 --> 01:00:02,060
Thanks.
- Yes, and this.
887
01:00:02,634 --> 01:00:04,846
The rent for the little field.
Your aunt will understand.
888
01:00:05,106 --> 01:00:06,179
I'll give it to her.
889
01:00:06,395 --> 01:00:08,788
We are so looking forward
to Miss Fiske's return.
890
01:00:09,371 --> 01:00:10,864
She's a dear friend of ours.
891
01:00:11,239 --> 01:00:14,646
Oh .. have you .. heard from her lately?
892
01:00:15,031 --> 01:00:16,218
No, not a word.
893
01:00:16,752 --> 01:00:19,335
I think the Reverend Mother is
a trifle hurt she hasn't written.
894
01:00:19,678 --> 01:00:22,281
In fact, she didn't even tell
us she was going away.
895
01:00:22,777 --> 01:00:25,295
Not very chummy, was it.
- No, it wasn't.
896
01:00:26,837 --> 01:00:28,232
Good morning.
- Good morning.
897
01:01:05,242 --> 01:01:07,671
Now what are you up to?
- Fetch me a knife, Ducky.
898
01:01:15,499 --> 01:01:17,170
What's that?
- A letter for Miss Fiske.
899
01:01:17,511 --> 01:01:19,943
You're not going to open it?
- No. Wouldn't think of it.
900
01:01:24,242 --> 01:01:25,431
What's it say?
901
01:01:26,201 --> 01:01:28,502
'Dear Madam.
Regarding your instructions ..'
902
01:01:28,718 --> 01:01:31,591
'To forward the amount of the
enclosed cheque in 5-pound notes'.
903
01:01:32,239 --> 01:01:36,889
'Your signature appears to differ from
that with which we are acquainted'.
904
01:01:38,793 --> 01:01:41,444
'We should be obliged if you
could kindly confirm same ..'
905
01:01:41,845 --> 01:01:44,354
'By signing it afresh.
In your usual manner'.
906
01:01:48,582 --> 01:01:49,634
Fifty pounds.
907
01:01:50,633 --> 01:01:51,591
Notice the date.
908
01:01:52,218 --> 01:01:53,703
'October 14th'.
909
01:01:54,794 --> 01:01:57,258
That's three days ago.
She's been gone longer than that.
910
01:01:57,803 --> 01:01:59,484
Since the beginning of September.
911
01:02:00,292 --> 01:02:02,329
She probably made it
out from wherever she is.
912
01:02:02,949 --> 01:02:04,986
Yes, she could have. Hey, wait a minute.
913
01:02:06,442 --> 01:02:08,765
In that case, why did they
send the reply to her here?
914
01:02:10,183 --> 01:02:11,666
You see who it's made payable to?
915
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:14,680
Ellen Creed.
916
01:02:15,506 --> 01:02:17,785
What of it? I expect it's
the housekeeping money.
917
01:02:18,380 --> 01:02:21,488
Maybe. Where's the glue-pot?
- Over there.
918
01:02:21,704 --> 01:02:23,015
Get it for me.
919
01:02:28,096 --> 01:02:30,146
Dip your finger in it.
- I should say not.
920
01:02:30,516 --> 01:02:31,817
I've had no hand in this.
921
01:02:33,119 --> 01:02:33,963
Haven't you?
922
01:02:35,383 --> 01:02:37,379
You are a filthy pig.
- Go on. Seal it up.
923
01:02:38,971 --> 01:02:39,930
Go on.
924
01:02:44,402 --> 01:02:46,276
Don't forget.
You're in this as deep as me now.
925
01:02:46,550 --> 01:02:48,124
I wish you'd never come here.
926
01:02:48,888 --> 01:02:51,488
I don't know what comes over
me when you're around.
927
01:02:52,752 --> 01:02:54,483
You won't give me away
to Ellen, will you?
928
01:02:54,699 --> 01:02:56,230
I won't if you keep your mouth shut.
929
01:03:03,357 --> 01:03:06,241
Here come the performing seals.
Not a word, mind you.
930
01:03:17,604 --> 01:03:18,397
Albert.
931
01:03:18,622 --> 01:03:20,252
Hello, aunts .. had a nice pray?
932
01:03:20,492 --> 01:03:22,114
You should have been at church, Albert.
933
01:03:22,576 --> 01:03:24,609
The minister told us all about Hell.
934
01:03:25,016 --> 01:03:27,336
You'd have enjoyed the
bit about the lost souls ..
935
01:03:27,682 --> 01:03:29,251
Sizzling in the bottomless pit.
936
01:03:29,554 --> 01:03:31,970
Would I now? Sounds frightening.
937
01:03:32,540 --> 01:03:34,859
Ellen .. where is Hell?
938
01:03:37,451 --> 01:03:39,443
Hell is like the Kingdom of Heaven.
939
01:03:41,672 --> 01:03:42,552
It is within.
940
01:03:43,037 --> 01:03:43,995
That reminds me.
941
01:03:44,310 --> 01:03:45,926
One of your religious friends was here.
942
01:03:46,258 --> 01:03:49,076
She left you this.
It's the rent for some field or other.
943
01:03:50,580 --> 01:03:52,568
She didn't see you, did she?
- I couldn't avoid it.
944
01:03:52,784 --> 01:03:54,258
That was Sister Theresa.
945
01:03:55,171 --> 01:03:59,138
She's Miss Fiske's friend. She doesn't
like us any more than Miss Fiske did.
946
01:03:59,974 --> 01:04:01,311
Didn't Miss Fiske like you?
947
01:04:01,981 --> 01:04:03,098
She was horrid to us.
948
01:04:03,344 --> 01:04:05,103
Louisa, run upstairs
and change your dress.
949
01:04:05,417 --> 01:04:07,148
You can't sit around
in your best all day.
950
01:04:07,445 --> 01:04:08,575
No. I shan't, shall I.
951
01:04:09,221 --> 01:04:10,348
No. Of course not.
952
01:04:12,538 --> 01:04:13,819
Albert.
- Huh?
953
01:04:14,096 --> 01:04:16,776
I don't want you to mention Miss Fiske
again in front of my sisters.
954
01:04:17,336 --> 01:04:18,819
They quarrelled with her.
955
01:04:19,382 --> 01:04:21,392
And it upsets them very
much to talk about her.
956
01:04:22,012 --> 01:04:23,364
Sorry. Nobody told me.
957
01:04:24,555 --> 01:04:26,055
What did you quarrel about?
958
01:04:26,666 --> 01:04:28,328
I didn't say I quarrelled with her.
959
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,220
Would she by any chance be the friend
you lit those candles for last night?
960
01:04:37,276 --> 01:04:38,187
Yes.
961
01:04:39,145 --> 01:04:40,469
When did she die?
962
01:04:42,779 --> 01:04:43,699
Die?
963
01:04:44,779 --> 01:04:46,516
Who said anything about her being dead?
964
01:04:47,042 --> 01:04:50,858
I just assumed she was.
You don't light candles for the living.
965
01:04:51,493 --> 01:04:53,352
Do you?
- I don't know.
966
01:04:54,178 --> 01:04:55,831
I just thought they stood for prayer.
967
01:04:56,685 --> 01:04:58,451
I must find Emily.
- By the way.
968
01:04:58,779 --> 01:05:00,614
The postman gave her
a letter for Miss Fiske.
969
01:05:00,911 --> 01:05:02,450
From her bank, I believe.
970
01:05:03,202 --> 01:05:04,375
Give it to me.
971
01:05:14,895 --> 01:05:16,951
I'm managing all her
affairs while she's away.
972
01:05:29,109 --> 01:05:31,579
Anything important?
- Yes, rather.
973
01:05:32,625 --> 01:05:34,512
I must get an answer
in the post immediately.
974
01:05:39,075 --> 01:05:40,763
A stylish looking piano you've got here.
975
01:05:41,029 --> 01:05:43,016
Don't distract me, Albert.
I must concentrate.
976
01:05:43,301 --> 01:05:45,026
I'm sorry. Don't mind me, auntie.
977
01:05:59,907 --> 01:06:01,335
I say, you are up to date.
978
01:06:02,020 --> 01:06:04,648
I didn't expect to find a copy of
The Mikado way out here on the marshes.
979
01:06:10,467 --> 01:06:12,747
[ Whistling song: Tit-Willow ]
980
01:06:20,224 --> 01:06:21,491
Don't do that.
981
01:06:22,064 --> 01:06:24,252
I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to distract you.
982
01:06:25,378 --> 01:06:27,960
It's just I happen to dislike that
particular tune. That's all.
983
01:06:28,261 --> 01:06:29,932
It's a bit on the morbid side.
984
01:06:35,775 --> 01:06:37,740
Miss Ellen, how soon
will you want dinner?
985
01:06:38,044 --> 01:06:39,402
In a quarter of an hour, Lucy.
986
01:06:39,624 --> 01:06:41,383
I'll just post this
letter at the crossing.
987
01:06:41,801 --> 01:06:42,788
Let me go, Ellen.
988
01:06:43,019 --> 01:06:44,372
I can do with a sniff of air.
989
01:06:44,588 --> 01:06:46,710
No thank you.
I prefer to attend to this myself.
990
01:07:20,938 --> 01:07:22,723
What are you up to now?
991
01:07:23,124 --> 01:07:24,998
She just wrote a reply to
the letter we opened.
992
01:07:25,426 --> 01:07:27,560
I thought it would be interesting
to see what she says.
993
01:07:28,703 --> 01:07:29,518
'Dear sir'.
994
01:07:30,198 --> 01:07:30,956
'Cheque'.
995
01:07:31,301 --> 01:07:32,168
Something.
996
01:07:32,562 --> 01:07:33,406
'Incorrect'.
997
01:07:34,231 --> 01:07:35,018
Something.
998
01:07:35,529 --> 01:07:36,258
'Owing'.
999
01:07:36,987 --> 01:07:38,671
Something, something.
1000
01:07:39,444 --> 01:07:40,350
'Wrist'.
1001
01:07:41,875 --> 01:07:43,870
What does that word
look like to you? See.
1002
01:07:44,636 --> 01:07:47,233
'S .. p .. r ..'
1003
01:07:47,779 --> 01:07:48,718
S .. p .. r.
1004
01:07:49,226 --> 01:07:50,685
'Sprained'. That's it.
1005
01:07:51,092 --> 01:07:52,394
'Owing to a sprained wrist'.
1006
01:07:53,878 --> 01:07:54,922
Something. 'Yours'.
1007
01:07:55,374 --> 01:07:56,225
'Leonora'.
1008
01:07:57,357 --> 01:07:58,758
'Leonora Fiske'.
1009
01:08:01,625 --> 01:08:03,040
She signed it 'Leonora Fiske'.
1010
01:08:03,525 --> 01:08:04,684
What's it mean, Albert?
1011
01:08:05,493 --> 01:08:06,665
What do you think?
1012
01:08:07,266 --> 01:08:09,506
It looks as if she's pretending
to be Miss Fiske.
1013
01:08:10,308 --> 01:08:12,239
Getting money on the strength of it.
- Brilliant.
1014
01:08:12,455 --> 01:08:13,845
If that's true, she's a thief.
1015
01:08:14,342 --> 01:08:15,535
Like you.
- Shut up.
1016
01:08:18,319 --> 01:08:20,417
What will happen when
Miss Fiske comes back?
1017
01:08:23,624 --> 01:08:25,061
Suppose she isn't coming back?
1018
01:08:26,187 --> 01:08:29,149
Suppose she's died somewhere.
And Ellen is the only one who knows.
1019
01:08:29,485 --> 01:08:31,229
You can't die and only
one person know it.
1020
01:08:31,445 --> 01:08:32,744
Can't you? I'm not so sure.
1021
01:08:34,460 --> 01:08:35,600
One thing I do know.
1022
01:08:35,906 --> 01:08:38,896
She'd never risk it unless she knew
Miss Fiske was out of the way for good.
1023
01:08:39,955 --> 01:08:43,091
Alright .. assume she's dead.
Aunt Ellen is having the funds.
1024
01:08:43,645 --> 01:08:45,721
It might be years before
anybody would find out.
1025
01:08:48,011 --> 01:08:49,815
Why should she reap all the benefit?
1026
01:08:55,455 --> 01:08:57,100
There may be some pickings in it for us.
1027
01:08:57,481 --> 01:08:59,841
Would you like to see a bit of the
world? Have some fun with me?
1028
01:09:00,057 --> 01:09:01,907
You'd tempt Old Nick
himself, wouldn't you?
1029
01:09:02,123 --> 01:09:03,540
You've got to help me get proof.
1030
01:09:03,775 --> 01:09:05,763
I don't want to do anything
mean or underhanded.
1031
01:09:06,113 --> 01:09:09,069
Would I ask you to? Use your eyes
and keep your ears open. That's all.
1032
01:09:09,863 --> 01:09:10,821
What do you say?
1033
01:09:11,696 --> 01:09:12,720
I don't know.
1034
01:09:12,936 --> 01:09:14,752
Perhaps this will help
you make up your mind.
1035
01:09:20,189 --> 01:09:22,321
Well?
- I'll help you, Albert.
1036
01:09:23,541 --> 01:09:25,685
Here she comes. Look sharp now.
Back to the kitchen.
1037
01:10:47,655 --> 01:10:48,984
She's coming.
1038
01:10:49,341 --> 01:10:51,214
Blimey. You almost made
me frightened myself.
1039
01:10:51,698 --> 01:10:53,567
Hurry up, hurry up.
- Alright. Shut up.
1040
01:10:57,097 --> 01:10:59,119
Hey, go in the kitchen
and make some tea.
1041
01:11:00,769 --> 01:11:03,053
Take this with you. Go on, hurry.
1042
01:11:08,868 --> 01:11:10,408
Goodnight, Bates.
- Night, ma'am.
1043
01:11:10,665 --> 01:11:12,424
Don't forget.
Ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
1044
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:13,710
Very good, ma'am.
1045
01:11:24,420 --> 01:11:25,960
Did you have a successful trip?
1046
01:11:29,358 --> 01:11:30,324
Yes.
1047
01:11:31,452 --> 01:11:32,615
I have your ticket.
1048
01:11:33,462 --> 01:11:35,112
You leave tomorrow.
1049
01:11:36,730 --> 01:11:37,873
Do I?
1050
01:11:38,909 --> 01:11:41,037
Where are my sisters?
- I sent them off to bed.
1051
01:11:41,594 --> 01:11:44,567
They were getting a little out of hand.
- I dare say it wasn't their fault.
1052
01:11:45,180 --> 01:11:46,694
Lucy is making some hot tea.
1053
01:11:47,190 --> 01:11:48,628
We thought you might be cold.
1054
01:11:49,171 --> 01:11:51,500
I'll be down again .. as soon as
I've said goodnight to them.
1055
01:12:05,306 --> 01:12:06,436
Is everything alright?
1056
01:12:06,652 --> 01:12:09,253
No it's not. She's packing me off
tomorrow. We've got to move fast.
1057
01:12:10,013 --> 01:12:14,109
You haven't changed your mind, have you?
- I couldn't refuse you anything .. now.
1058
01:12:17,711 --> 01:12:20,732
We thought you'd never come,
Ellen .. I was frightened.
1059
01:12:21,412 --> 01:12:22,227
Frightened?
1060
01:12:22,443 --> 01:12:24,128
Yes, they were such funny noises.
1061
01:12:24,896 --> 01:12:26,049
It was only the rats.
1062
01:12:27,710 --> 01:12:29,343
What have you been doing all evening?
1063
01:12:29,794 --> 01:12:33,166
We played a game of cribbage.
Of course, Albert cheated.
1064
01:12:33,475 --> 01:12:35,420
But it was rather fun
watching him cheat.
1065
01:12:36,156 --> 01:12:38,001
He hasn't said anything
about Miss Fiske?
1066
01:12:38,432 --> 01:12:39,681
No.
- Miss Fiske?
1067
01:12:41,073 --> 01:12:41,974
Why should he?
1068
01:12:42,322 --> 01:12:44,819
And neither of you spoke to him
about my buying the house?
1069
01:12:45,173 --> 01:12:46,021
No, Ellen.
1070
01:12:46,441 --> 01:12:47,399
Do you remember?
1071
01:12:47,678 --> 01:12:49,855
You made us swear on
the bible we wouldn't.
1072
01:12:53,352 --> 01:12:55,327
I think you'd better go to
sleep now, both of you.
1073
01:12:55,778 --> 01:12:58,491
I'm going downstairs to have a
hot cup of tea before I go to bed.
1074
01:13:11,633 --> 01:13:14,151
Albert, do you think ..?
- Pour the tea, Lucy.
1075
01:13:21,955 --> 01:13:24,408
Thank you Lucy. You may go to bed now.
- Yes, Miss Ellen.
1076
01:13:24,946 --> 01:13:26,345
Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
1077
01:13:36,366 --> 01:13:37,639
Auntie, where is your cane?
1078
01:13:38,312 --> 01:13:40,981
You look like you'd like to take down
my breeches and give me a dozen.
1079
01:13:42,223 --> 01:13:45,038
There's a boat sailing for Canada
on Friday. You sail with it.
1080
01:13:46,295 --> 01:13:47,826
I'm not sure I want to go to Canada.
1081
01:13:48,849 --> 01:13:49,693
Yet a while.
1082
01:13:50,173 --> 01:13:51,779
You haven't much choice, have you?
1083
01:13:52,201 --> 01:13:54,201
I don't know. I'm getting
quite fond of this place.
1084
01:13:54,463 --> 01:13:57,278
The air suits me .. I'm very
happy here for the time being.
1085
01:13:57,793 --> 01:13:59,765
I'm not happy having you here.
- Why?
1086
01:14:01,027 --> 01:14:03,956
It isn't safe since Sister Theresa
knows you're staying here with us.
1087
01:14:04,613 --> 01:14:07,129
The wrong sort of talk would bring
the police around here in no time.
1088
01:14:07,692 --> 01:14:09,826
I don't propose to risk a
scandal on your account.
1089
01:14:10,979 --> 01:14:12,484
There's more to it than that.
1090
01:14:13,552 --> 01:14:14,914
Lucy is apt to talk.
1091
01:14:15,787 --> 01:14:17,383
I don't think we need worry about her.
1092
01:14:18,557 --> 01:14:20,578
No. You've made sure of that.
1093
01:14:21,269 --> 01:14:24,026
Whatever do you mean by that?
- You know what, you cheap little ..
1094
01:14:24,454 --> 01:14:26,419
Stop it Ellen.
You'll make me lose my temper.
1095
01:14:26,784 --> 01:14:27,717
Your temper?
1096
01:14:27,975 --> 01:14:30,803
You leave first thing in the morning.
That's the end of you and your temper.
1097
01:14:31,019 --> 01:14:32,487
I shouldn't try to bluff me.
1098
01:14:32,885 --> 01:14:36,020
I'm not bluffing you. I order you.
- If I don't choose to be ordered?
1099
01:14:36,755 --> 01:14:39,395
I can't throw you out physically.
But I can send for the police.
1100
01:14:39,611 --> 01:14:40,765
And have your scandal?
1101
01:14:41,425 --> 01:14:43,625
Really, you're being very
inconsistent now, auntie dear.
1102
01:14:47,747 --> 01:14:49,119
You won't send for the police.
1103
01:14:50,349 --> 01:14:51,841
Why are you so sure?
1104
01:14:52,573 --> 01:14:53,992
Because you've another reason.
1105
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:56,914
A more important reason for
not wanting the police here.
1106
01:14:57,546 --> 01:14:59,799
For wanting me out of this
house as quickly as possible.
1107
01:15:01,265 --> 01:15:02,936
As a matter of fact, you are right.
1108
01:15:03,339 --> 01:15:04,889
Now we get down to brass tacks.
1109
01:15:09,192 --> 01:15:11,134
Did it concern Miss Fiske by any chance?
1110
01:15:12,843 --> 01:15:14,271
It would and it does.
1111
01:15:15,303 --> 01:15:18,769
I met her in town today.
She's coming back.
1112
01:15:21,002 --> 01:15:24,068
She's coming back?
- And why shouldn't she?
1113
01:15:25,444 --> 01:15:27,138
I thought she'd gone for good.
1114
01:15:27,641 --> 01:15:29,345
How utterly absurd of you, Albert.
1115
01:15:29,950 --> 01:15:32,232
There has never been any
question of her not coming back.
1116
01:15:33,753 --> 01:15:35,532
Why didn't you say
so in the first place?
1117
01:15:35,748 --> 01:15:37,942
You played the fool so much
with Louisa and Emily.
1118
01:15:39,190 --> 01:15:40,693
I was afraid you'd blurt it out.
1119
01:15:42,481 --> 01:15:44,355
As it is, I'll have to
break it to them gently.
1120
01:15:44,571 --> 01:15:46,477
Because it means
they will have to go too.
1121
01:15:51,855 --> 01:15:53,989
My little country holiday has
obviously come to an end.
1122
01:15:54,843 --> 01:15:56,734
I don't know what the
blazes I'll do in Canada.
1123
01:15:56,950 --> 01:15:59,119
I suppose one can starve there
as well as anywhere else.
1124
01:15:59,677 --> 01:16:00,790
You'll get on.
1125
01:16:01,757 --> 01:16:03,762
I'll give you a little
something to start off with.
1126
01:16:04,659 --> 01:16:05,908
For your mother's sake.
1127
01:16:06,405 --> 01:16:08,376
I suppose I should extend
my most humble thanks.
1128
01:16:08,668 --> 01:16:10,540
No. That from you would be too much.
1129
01:16:11,034 --> 01:16:13,664
If that's all we have to say to each
other, I may as well get up to bed.
1130
01:16:32,163 --> 01:16:34,237
A good night's sleep wouldn't
do you any harm, either.
1131
01:16:35,093 --> 01:16:36,483
You look a bit played out.
1132
01:16:42,139 --> 01:16:43,698
I must lock up first.
1133
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,157
Will I be seeing you in the
morning before I leave?
1134
01:16:49,557 --> 01:16:50,486
Yes.
1135
01:16:59,735 --> 01:17:01,070
I forgot to tell you, auntie.
1136
01:17:02,138 --> 01:17:03,848
I had a funny dream last night.
1137
01:17:05,052 --> 01:17:05,796
Did you?
1138
01:17:08,636 --> 01:17:10,288
I dreamt Miss Fiske was dead.
1139
01:17:17,761 --> 01:17:20,112
Goodnight, auntie.
- Goodnight, Albert.
1140
01:18:52,767 --> 01:18:54,268
Miss Fiske ..
1141
01:19:06,554 --> 01:19:07,625
Albert.
1142
01:19:08,620 --> 01:19:09,497
Albert!
1143
01:19:48,544 --> 01:19:49,617
Good morning, Bates.
1144
01:19:49,833 --> 01:19:52,997
Miss Creed ordered me. It's about the
train, but she didn't say which one.
1145
01:19:53,823 --> 01:19:54,626
Bates.
1146
01:19:55,260 --> 01:19:56,975
Cancel it. Miss Creed's
not feeling well.
1147
01:19:57,382 --> 01:19:59,134
Nothing serious I hope, sir?
1148
01:19:59,716 --> 01:20:00,845
No. Nothing serious.
1149
01:20:01,576 --> 01:20:03,714
In that case, I'd better hop along.
1150
01:20:11,215 --> 01:20:13,479
She did look ill when I
took in her early tea.
1151
01:20:13,844 --> 01:20:15,160
I wish we hadn't done it.
1152
01:20:15,376 --> 01:20:17,754
Pull yourself together.
You'll ruin everything. Go on upstairs.
1153
01:20:18,116 --> 01:20:20,071
She might have died.
- Shut up.
1154
01:20:22,419 --> 01:20:24,304
Well she didn't. And we
proved what we wanted.
1155
01:20:24,605 --> 01:20:27,046
Miss Fiske is dead and she knows it.
- I wonder when she died.
1156
01:20:27,262 --> 01:20:30,193
One more go, and I'll tell you when
and how, she died. Now, go on upstairs.
1157
01:20:32,234 --> 01:20:33,778
What did Bates want, Albert?
1158
01:20:34,469 --> 01:20:37,339
He brought the news from the outside
world. It will tickle you to death.
1159
01:20:37,669 --> 01:20:39,500
Wigs and whiskers are
coming back in again.
1160
01:20:39,795 --> 01:20:41,748
I don't think this is a
time for joking, Albert.
1161
01:20:42,024 --> 01:20:43,268
With Ellen the way she is.
1162
01:20:43,484 --> 01:20:45,673
You take this thing too seriously,
my old brussels sprout.
1163
01:20:45,906 --> 01:20:48,296
She was walking in her sleep
and had a nightmare. That's all.
1164
01:20:48,857 --> 01:20:50,738
It wasn't a nightmare, Albert.
1165
01:20:52,979 --> 01:20:56,425
Oh .. what was it then?
- She says she saw a ghost.
1166
01:20:58,326 --> 01:21:00,241
In that case, lay another
place for breakfast.
1167
01:21:01,837 --> 01:21:04,083
Do you really think
it was a ghost, Emily?
1168
01:21:04,814 --> 01:21:08,147
If it were only a nightmare,
we wouldn't have heard it too.
1169
01:21:09,095 --> 01:21:12,379
Heard what?
- The music. Miss Fiske's music.
1170
01:21:13,216 --> 01:21:14,174
You know, Emily.
1171
01:21:14,512 --> 01:21:16,786
I'm sometimes afraid Miss Fiske
will get the better of Ellen.
1172
01:21:17,358 --> 01:21:20,210
I sometimes think she wants
to come back and turn us out.
1173
01:21:20,570 --> 01:21:23,299
I think Miss Fiske is here .. now.
1174
01:21:24,166 --> 01:21:27,506
Well .. what are you
two whispering about?
1175
01:21:28,354 --> 01:21:30,821
Hadn't you better go for your walk now?
- Yes, Ellen.
1176
01:21:31,124 --> 01:21:32,605
Anything you say, Ellen.
1177
01:21:46,684 --> 01:21:48,838
Do you think you're
strong enough to be up?
1178
01:21:49,303 --> 01:21:52,031
Yes, dear. I'm quite alright now.
- Hadn't you better have a doctor?
1179
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,336
No. A doctor couldn't do any good.
1180
01:22:01,118 --> 01:22:03,274
Why are you two standing
there like a couple of owls?
1181
01:22:04,315 --> 01:22:05,674
Emily has been frightening me.
1182
01:22:05,890 --> 01:22:07,724
You've been imagining
things, both of you.
1183
01:22:07,940 --> 01:22:09,719
Now, run along for your walk.
1184
01:22:10,194 --> 01:22:12,573
Whatever you say, Ellen. You know best.
1185
01:22:47,533 --> 01:22:48,748
Good morning, aunt Ellen.
1186
01:22:52,429 --> 01:22:53,848
We didn't expect you down today.
1187
01:22:55,144 --> 01:22:56,748
Why aren't you ready yet?
1188
01:22:57,416 --> 01:22:58,898
Bates will be here at any moment.
1189
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:01,876
Bates has been here and
gone .. I sent him away.
1190
01:23:02,599 --> 01:23:04,832
What do you mean by interfering
with my arrangements?
1191
01:23:05,087 --> 01:23:07,308
I didn't like to go and leave
you not feeling well.
1192
01:23:07,829 --> 01:23:09,585
I'm quite recovered now, thank you.
1193
01:23:10,535 --> 01:23:12,151
It was a queer turn you had last night.
1194
01:23:13,012 --> 01:23:13,913
What happened?
1195
01:23:16,155 --> 01:23:17,012
Nothing.
1196
01:23:17,529 --> 01:23:19,792
You know, you should really do
something about your nerves.
1197
01:23:20,064 --> 01:23:22,710
This isn't the first time you've walked
in your sleep, according to Emily.
1198
01:23:23,866 --> 01:23:24,996
What's Emily told you?
1199
01:23:25,212 --> 01:23:26,370
Just the usual chatter.
1200
01:23:27,566 --> 01:23:30,648
They do say that people who walk in
their sleep have a guilty conscience.
1201
01:23:32,807 --> 01:23:34,722
What's behind that remark, Albert?
1202
01:23:35,877 --> 01:23:36,788
Nothing.
1203
01:23:56,997 --> 01:23:58,016
You know.
1204
01:23:58,692 --> 01:23:59,725
Uhuh.
1205
01:24:07,734 --> 01:24:09,783
Then it was you last night?
- Yes.
1206
01:24:10,635 --> 01:24:12,786
Me and Lucy.
- She knows too?
1207
01:24:13,435 --> 01:24:16,579
Not what I know. That's something you
and I are going to keep to ourselves.
1208
01:24:17,454 --> 01:24:19,302
Provided of course, you treat me right.
1209
01:24:21,351 --> 01:24:22,852
What are you going to do?
1210
01:24:24,955 --> 01:24:26,342
As I said, I'm very happy here.
1211
01:24:26,974 --> 01:24:29,880
I think with your financial help I'll
be able to adjust things at the bank.
1212
01:24:30,486 --> 01:24:33,462
And we can all settle down in peace.
A contented little family.
1213
01:24:38,699 --> 01:24:40,639
You mean, you propose
to go on living here?
1214
01:24:41,042 --> 01:24:42,511
With me?
- Why not?
1215
01:24:43,380 --> 01:24:45,003
You'd never be quite sure, would you?
1216
01:24:45,991 --> 01:24:47,704
You might not enjoy your meals.
1217
01:24:51,328 --> 01:24:53,741
You wouldn't dare .. a second time.
1218
01:24:54,750 --> 01:24:57,031
It takes a lot of courage to
kill for the first time, Albert.
1219
01:24:57,830 --> 01:25:00,317
Once you've sold your soul to
the Devil it becomes easier.
1220
01:25:01,558 --> 01:25:02,675
Much easier.
1221
01:25:03,887 --> 01:25:07,713
Alright .. give me £500 and I'll clear
out for good. And keep my mouth shut.
1222
01:25:07,933 --> 01:25:10,215
I'm not afraid of you, Albert.
And your shabby little tricks.
1223
01:25:10,666 --> 01:25:13,323
In the middle of the night, you may
fancy yourself cutting quite a figure.
1224
01:25:13,980 --> 01:25:15,595
It's broad daylight now.
1225
01:25:16,055 --> 01:25:17,426
[ Door knocks ]
1226
01:25:22,761 --> 01:25:23,944
It's those nuns.
1227
01:25:24,482 --> 01:25:27,362
Get that out of sight.
And yourself with it.
1228
01:25:31,659 --> 01:25:33,002
[ Door knocks ]
1229
01:25:38,532 --> 01:25:41,311
Good day, Sisters.
- I must talk to you, right away.
1230
01:25:41,857 --> 01:25:43,121
Are you alone?
- Yes.
1231
01:25:43,889 --> 01:25:44,905
What's the matter?
1232
01:25:45,241 --> 01:25:48,898
It's really none of my business
and I shouldn't have come but ..
1233
01:25:49,781 --> 01:25:52,419
The police. They've been to the Priory.
- What about?
1234
01:25:52,973 --> 01:25:54,653
They're searching for a young man.
1235
01:25:55,095 --> 01:25:57,671
Who stole money from a
bank over Gravesend way.
1236
01:25:58,212 --> 01:26:01,295
And from the description,
I suspect it was your nephew.
1237
01:26:01,945 --> 01:26:05,639
I thought if he were told, he might
have a chance to do the right thing.
1238
01:26:06,213 --> 01:26:07,596
And give himself up.
1239
01:26:08,675 --> 01:26:10,261
It is your nephew?
- Yes.
1240
01:26:10,825 --> 01:26:14,130
But they mustn't search here.
- They've gone to the Coyne farm first.
1241
01:26:14,553 --> 01:26:16,139
I heard one of them say so.
1242
01:26:17,097 --> 01:26:20,813
Oh Miss Ellen. Have I done
wrong in coming to warn you?
1243
01:26:22,345 --> 01:26:23,773
I don't know, Sister.
1244
01:26:24,730 --> 01:26:26,719
I had a brother rather like that.
1245
01:26:27,632 --> 01:26:28,938
He went wrong too.
1246
01:26:30,148 --> 01:26:33,618
People are so easily lost, aren't they?
1247
01:26:34,524 --> 01:26:35,575
Yes they are.
1248
01:26:36,083 --> 01:26:38,511
Poor girl. You have so many burdens.
1249
01:26:39,161 --> 01:26:40,320
If you refer to Albert.
1250
01:26:40,901 --> 01:26:42,388
He means absolutely nothing to me.
1251
01:26:43,143 --> 01:26:44,543
No-one does, for that matter.
1252
01:26:45,350 --> 01:26:46,843
Except Emily and Louisa.
1253
01:26:48,365 --> 01:26:53,486
If, any time, we can do anything to make
things easier for you or your sisters ..
1254
01:26:54,242 --> 01:26:56,078
Don't hesitate to turn to us.
1255
01:26:56,401 --> 01:26:58,181
That's very kind of you, Sister Theresa.
1256
01:26:58,843 --> 01:27:00,509
But you know, we're not of your faith.
1257
01:27:01,152 --> 01:27:04,017
In my Father's house are many mansions.
1258
01:27:10,324 --> 01:27:11,797
Blimey, I thought they'd never go.
1259
01:27:12,013 --> 01:27:13,715
Thanks for putting in
a good word for me.
1260
01:27:15,247 --> 01:27:16,837
The Coyne farm, is it?
1261
01:27:17,115 --> 01:27:19,332
That will give me a chance to
get behind them to the river.
1262
01:27:19,548 --> 01:27:21,951
Hurry. There's no time to lose.
- Yes, I'll get my clothes.
1263
01:27:36,482 --> 01:27:37,496
Lucy.
1264
01:27:38,970 --> 01:27:40,574
Why are you staring at me like that?
1265
01:27:47,259 --> 01:27:48,389
You've been listening.
1266
01:27:52,279 --> 01:27:53,011
Lucy.
1267
01:27:53,847 --> 01:27:55,077
Lucy, come back.
1268
01:27:56,673 --> 01:27:57,922
Lucy, come back.
1269
01:28:00,607 --> 01:28:01,729
What's up?
1270
01:28:04,948 --> 01:28:05,763
What is it?
1271
01:28:06,671 --> 01:28:07,700
Lucy's run off.
1272
01:28:08,543 --> 01:28:09,842
She was listening.
1273
01:28:11,899 --> 01:28:13,091
Turn me in, would she?
1274
01:28:13,589 --> 01:28:15,946
I've got to move fast.
Where's that money and boat ticket?
1275
01:28:21,783 --> 01:28:23,304
You mean, she heard all about that?
1276
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:28,225
Yes.
1277
01:28:29,117 --> 01:28:31,860
Hey .. you'd better
make a dash for it too.
1278
01:28:46,271 --> 01:28:47,740
Don't stand there mooning about.
1279
01:28:48,092 --> 01:28:49,909
Put your things on and
let's get out of here.
1280
01:28:52,816 --> 01:28:53,999
I'm not going.
1281
01:28:56,844 --> 01:28:58,130
Are you out of your mind?
1282
01:29:01,266 --> 01:29:03,883
You know what they'll do to you?
- You'd better hurry, Albert.
1283
01:29:04,966 --> 01:29:06,581
Well, if that don't beat the cards.
1284
01:29:08,780 --> 01:29:09,710
Well then ..
1285
01:29:11,785 --> 01:29:14,516
So long Ellen .. no hard feelings.
1286
01:29:49,217 --> 01:29:50,486
Ellen, it was so funny.
1287
01:29:50,849 --> 01:29:51,893
We just saw Albert.
1288
01:29:52,306 --> 01:29:53,808
He was playing 'tag' with some men.
1289
01:29:54,130 --> 01:29:56,069
He didn't win. They caught him.
1290
01:29:56,413 --> 01:29:57,556
He got quite annoyed.
1291
01:30:00,436 --> 01:30:02,922
Ellen, look.
We found a lot of jackdaw feathers.
1292
01:30:03,297 --> 01:30:05,846
We're going to tie them into
bundles and make little dusters.
1293
01:30:07,021 --> 01:30:08,492
Where are you going?
1294
01:30:10,172 --> 01:30:11,816
I'm going to Coyne farm.
1295
01:30:12,298 --> 01:30:14,852
There are some gentlemen there from
Gravesend and I want to see them.
1296
01:30:15,068 --> 01:30:16,974
You won't bring them
back here, will you Ellen.
1297
01:30:17,228 --> 01:30:19,134
It's so nice and peaceful by ourselves.
1298
01:30:20,007 --> 01:30:22,812
No, dear. I'll try not to
bring them back here.
1299
01:30:31,833 --> 01:30:35,636
You have been happy here, haven't you?
- We are happy here, aren't we Emily?
1300
01:30:35,852 --> 01:30:38,249
Yes .. it's much better than London.
1301
01:30:38,547 --> 01:30:40,897
It's so good of you to have
bought this house for us.
1302
01:30:41,242 --> 01:30:43,035
You have been clever, Ellen.
1303
01:31:06,500 --> 01:31:07,632
How long will you be?
1304
01:31:08,778 --> 01:31:10,031
I don't know, dear.
1305
01:31:10,562 --> 01:31:12,115
Maybe quite a time.
1306
01:31:13,116 --> 01:31:15,317
I think I shall go down
to The Priory tomorrow.
1307
01:31:15,914 --> 01:31:18,728
I should like to see the things the
Reverend Mother collected on the marsh.
1308
01:31:18,965 --> 01:31:20,045
I'll go with you.
1309
01:31:26,793 --> 01:31:29,371
Goodbye, Ellen .. don't worry about us.
1310
01:31:29,816 --> 01:31:31,460
We can look after ourselves.
1311
01:32:12,774 --> 01:32:13,678

Ellen Creed, a proud spinster fallen on hard times, has spent the past two years as housekeeper and companion to her old friend Leonora Fiske, a wealthy retiree who in her youth had been a chorus girl "of easy virtue". Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.
One day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.
Ellen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.
Ellen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.
Some nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.
Albert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a "sprained wrist." Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.
Albert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men. Ellen smiles, dons her coat and hat, tells the sisters she's going to see some men, kisses them goodbye and departs into the fog.

1
00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:15,105
Ellen.
2
00:02:16,275 --> 00:02:18,207
Yes, Miss Fiske.
- Is there any mail for me?
3
00:02:18,783 --> 00:02:20,449
No, just this one letter.
4
00:02:22,257 --> 00:02:24,580
No sign of Bates yet?
- Not yet.
5
00:02:25,271 --> 00:02:27,122
Oh dear, I do hope you
won't miss your train.
6
00:02:28,288 --> 00:02:29,130
I mustn't.
7
00:02:32,003 --> 00:02:34,632
Oh Lucy, hurry with that bag.
- Just coming, Miss.
8
00:02:39,861 --> 00:02:40,533
Ellen.
9
00:02:40,937 --> 00:02:42,986
That business I want you
to see about in London.
10
00:02:43,703 --> 00:02:45,281
This is for Mr Scott at the bank.
11
00:02:45,872 --> 00:02:47,797
It's about those Brazilian
bonds of mine.
12
00:02:48,116 --> 00:02:50,463
The way the market is this week,
I think they ought to be ..
13
00:02:51,108 --> 00:02:53,011
Get outside.
Keep your eyes open for Bates.
14
00:02:53,367 --> 00:02:54,154
Yes, Miss.
15
00:02:57,364 --> 00:02:59,365
And this address is
just off Berkeley Square.
16
00:02:59,637 --> 00:03:02,745
Go to the servant's entrance and
ask for Mr Blake. He's the butler.
17
00:03:02,990 --> 00:03:06,248
Say you've come from me with
a message for Lord Cardington.
18
00:03:06,501 --> 00:03:08,999
And will he give it to his
Lordship .. privately.
19
00:03:10,145 --> 00:03:11,726
Ellen, you aren't paying attention.
20
00:03:12,861 --> 00:03:14,130
But I am, Miss Fiske.
21
00:03:15,291 --> 00:03:16,862
What would be the best time to call?
22
00:03:18,183 --> 00:03:20,515
Harry always used to dine around eight.
23
00:03:21,648 --> 00:03:23,869
You call about half past seven.
- Yes, very well.
24
00:03:24,511 --> 00:03:25,441
You seem upset.
25
00:03:26,165 --> 00:03:27,082
Bad news?
26
00:03:28,607 --> 00:03:30,395
I don't want to bother
you with my troubles.
27
00:03:31,555 --> 00:03:33,845
It isn't a question of bothering
me with your troubles.
28
00:03:34,385 --> 00:03:36,059
You've become almost like my daughter.
29
00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:40,033
The letter is from my sisters,
Emily and Louisa.
30
00:03:40,723 --> 00:03:42,666
They're very unhappy back
in London without me.
31
00:03:43,371 --> 00:03:46,159
After all, I only saw them once since
I came to work for you, Miss Fiske.
32
00:03:46,627 --> 00:03:50,075
You'll see them today, won't you?
And everything will be alright, surely.
33
00:03:50,516 --> 00:03:51,365
Miss Fiske.
34
00:03:52,270 --> 00:03:53,239
Bates is coming.
35
00:03:53,677 --> 00:03:54,941
Tell him to hurry himself.
36
00:03:56,902 --> 00:04:00,083
My kind regards to your sisters, Ellen.
- Thank you, Miss Fiske.
37
00:04:05,516 --> 00:04:07,945
I've written them so much about you.
38
00:04:08,818 --> 00:04:10,041
How kind you've been.
39
00:04:10,952 --> 00:04:13,704
Stuff and nonsense.
I'm fond of you. You shouldn't ..
40
00:04:14,411 --> 00:04:16,314
Oh, a lovely juicy one.
41
00:04:18,629 --> 00:04:21,722
Perhaps you'll .. you might allow
them down for a little visit one day?
42
00:04:22,338 --> 00:04:24,174
Oh dear, look what the damp has done.
43
00:04:24,744 --> 00:04:27,291
Certainly, yes.
By all means. At any time.
44
00:04:27,661 --> 00:04:30,625
You know Lucy polished this
table all yesterday afternoon.
45
00:04:31,859 --> 00:04:34,142
Miss Fiske.
- Yes?
46
00:04:34,903 --> 00:04:36,139
It occurred to me that ..
47
00:04:36,694 --> 00:04:40,310
Since they've been so wretched lately,
and you may allow them to visit one day.
48
00:04:40,526 --> 00:04:42,677
Oh that? Yes, indeed. You tell them.
49
00:04:43,191 --> 00:04:45,776
Perhaps in the spring when
it's warm and sunny.
50
00:04:58,452 --> 00:05:01,788
Well .. what I was going to ask was ..
51
00:05:03,656 --> 00:05:06,019
Might I bring them back
with me this time? Now?
52
00:05:06,313 --> 00:05:08,044
Well now, Ellen.
- They won't be a bother.
53
00:05:08,260 --> 00:05:11,100
I promise Miss Fiske .. and it
will mean so much to them.
54
00:05:13,860 --> 00:05:17,056
Very well my dear. You bring with
you by all means. For a day or two.
55
00:05:17,531 --> 00:05:18,974
Thank you, Miss Fiske.
56
00:05:19,913 --> 00:05:22,776
I can't tell you how grateful I am.
- Well don't try, my dear.
57
00:05:23,612 --> 00:05:26,540
He's here, Miss.
- About time. The good-for-nothing.
58
00:05:29,731 --> 00:05:31,919
Ellen, have you got everything?
- Yes, Miss Fiske.
59
00:05:36,257 --> 00:05:37,214
Morning, ma'am.
60
00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:40,040
Bates, you might have been more prompt.
What on earth made you so late?
61
00:05:40,256 --> 00:05:44,233
Her. You can't gallop over the roads
with a lady in her delicate condition.
62
00:05:45,131 --> 00:05:46,985
She's going to throw a calf, she be.
63
00:05:47,329 --> 00:05:49,142
I'm taking her to the vets, I am.
64
00:05:49,580 --> 00:05:53,795
Kindly let her not throw any calves
until you get Miss Ellen to the station.
65
00:05:55,009 --> 00:05:58,324
Calves don't come by timetable, lady.
- Well trains do.
66
00:06:01,093 --> 00:06:02,789
Yes, ma'am.
- Goodbye, Miss Fiske.
67
00:06:03,093 --> 00:06:05,919
Goodbye, Miss Ellen.
- Goodbye, Lucy.
68
00:06:08,225 --> 00:06:10,399
Don't forget the allowance
from you-know-who.
69
00:06:10,690 --> 00:06:11,943
No, I shan't.
70
00:06:12,751 --> 00:06:13,558
Goodbye.
71
00:06:14,089 --> 00:06:15,295
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss.
72
00:06:16,549 --> 00:06:18,440
Alright now, there is a
day's work to be done.
73
00:06:43,285 --> 00:06:46,731
La, la, la .. la, la, la.
74
00:06:47,792 --> 00:06:51,445
This is nice. It's very, very nice.
- What's that you have there, Miss?
75
00:06:52,224 --> 00:06:55,022
It's called the New Comic Opera.
It's all the rage in London.
76
00:06:55,382 --> 00:06:56,355
The Mi-Ka-Do.
77
00:06:57,272 --> 00:06:58,355
Mikado.
78
00:06:59,483 --> 00:07:02,512
I used to tour the provinces with
the gentleman who sent it to me.
79
00:07:02,932 --> 00:07:05,701
Look, he signed it for me:
'Rutland Barington'.
80
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,844
'For my adored Leonora
with fond memories of ..'
81
00:07:12,167 --> 00:07:14,032
Never mind about that.
Go and do the dishes.
82
00:07:14,248 --> 00:07:15,034
Yes, Miss.
83
00:07:18,969 --> 00:07:23,159
<i>On a tree by a willow, a little tom-tit</i>.
84
00:07:23,685 --> 00:07:27,337
<i>Sang: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
85
00:07:27,860 --> 00:07:32,012
<i>And I said to him: dicky-bird,
why do you sit?</i>
86
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:36,024
<i>Singing: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
87
00:07:40,329 --> 00:07:41,550
Go on. Don't stop.
88
00:07:41,803 --> 00:07:45,343
Who are you? What are you doing here?
- Listening .. very nice too.
89
00:07:46,281 --> 00:07:48,810
What do you want?
- Ask me in and I'll tell you.
90
00:07:52,312 --> 00:07:55,617
Anyway young man, you may
come in .. but mind your manners.
91
00:07:56,854 --> 00:07:57,794
Alright, Miss.
92
00:08:06,770 --> 00:08:09,470
Isn't this where Miss Ellen Creed lives?
- Yes, she lives here.
93
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:12,146
What do you wish to see her about?
- It's a personal matter.
94
00:08:13,315 --> 00:08:15,156
She's my aunt. I'm Albert Feather.
95
00:08:15,372 --> 00:08:17,189
Your aunt?
- Right.
96
00:08:17,842 --> 00:08:20,039
Her mother was my stepfather's
uncle's second wife.
97
00:08:22,067 --> 00:08:24,058
And where do you come from?
- Gravesend.
98
00:08:24,649 --> 00:08:26,422
I .. I work in a bank there.
99
00:08:26,875 --> 00:08:28,891
It's a very long walk.
Hadn't you better sit down?
100
00:08:29,598 --> 00:08:30,640
Thank you.
101
00:08:33,063 --> 00:08:34,628
I'm afraid it's all been for nothing.
102
00:08:34,844 --> 00:08:37,420
Your aunt Ellen has gone to
London on some business for me.
103
00:08:38,218 --> 00:08:39,462
How long will she be away?
104
00:08:39,790 --> 00:08:41,215
A few days.
- A few?
105
00:08:43,071 --> 00:08:44,665
Blimey. That will be too late.
106
00:08:45,843 --> 00:08:47,270
Is there anything I can do?
107
00:08:47,764 --> 00:08:51,327
I'm Miss Fiske. Your aunt has been
working here as a housekeeper/companion.
108
00:08:52,049 --> 00:08:54,325
I didn't know.
I haven't seen her for five years.
109
00:08:56,066 --> 00:08:57,102
Can I help?
110
00:08:59,294 --> 00:09:00,176
I wonder.
111
00:09:00,570 --> 00:09:01,642
What's the trouble?
112
00:09:02,394 --> 00:09:03,435
Or is it trouble?
113
00:09:04,397 --> 00:09:07,440
It's trouble right enough.
I hardly like to tell you.
114
00:09:08,163 --> 00:09:09,437
Oh, I see.
115
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:11,115
What's the amount?
116
00:09:12,388 --> 00:09:14,291
Twelve pounds.
- How much?
117
00:09:14,952 --> 00:09:17,446
Twelve pounds.
- My goodness. That's a lot of money.
118
00:09:17,662 --> 00:09:19,564
I know. What's worse,
I must have it by tonight.
119
00:09:19,937 --> 00:09:21,177
I'm short at the bank.
120
00:09:21,937 --> 00:09:24,425
It means jail if I can't put it back
before the cashier checks up.
121
00:09:25,063 --> 00:09:27,092
Gambling?
- No. A girl.
122
00:09:28,525 --> 00:09:29,814
Are you engaged to her?
123
00:09:30,198 --> 00:09:31,426
No. She's an actress.
124
00:09:32,294 --> 00:09:34,143
She was in a travelling
company in Gravesend.
125
00:09:34,463 --> 00:09:36,933
What? At the Old Grand?
126
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:39,551
You know it?
- I played there.
127
00:09:40,084 --> 00:09:41,113
Years ago.
128
00:09:41,968 --> 00:09:43,041
You were an actress?
129
00:09:43,648 --> 00:09:45,054
Front row of the chorus.
130
00:09:45,889 --> 00:09:47,868
Fourth from the right.
131
00:09:48,396 --> 00:09:49,710
She was in the chorus too.
132
00:09:50,179 --> 00:09:51,820
I expect you took her out to supper.
133
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:54,542
Then she persuaded you to
go round the shops with her.
134
00:09:55,486 --> 00:09:56,610
How did you know?
135
00:09:58,034 --> 00:09:59,272
'Imagination', my boy.
136
00:10:01,410 --> 00:10:03,427
Anyway, she's over the hills
now to some other town.
137
00:10:03,731 --> 00:10:05,583
And with some other fool.
The little cheat.
138
00:10:10,573 --> 00:10:13,436
Don't worry any more about it.
I'll give you the twelve pounds.
139
00:10:14,686 --> 00:10:15,719
You will?
140
00:10:16,204 --> 00:10:19,080
Perhaps I owe it to you .. in a sense.
141
00:10:20,452 --> 00:10:21,783
Or to some other fool.
142
00:10:22,564 --> 00:10:23,754
You're a life-saver.
143
00:10:24,208 --> 00:10:26,940
Now you just wait here. I'll just
run upstairs and get my keys.
144
00:10:31,814 --> 00:10:33,378
A pity there aren't more like you.
145
00:10:33,970 --> 00:10:35,850
That my, lad, is a matter of opinion.
146
00:10:38,268 --> 00:10:40,807
Do you mind if I tickle on your ivories?
- No, do.
147
00:10:41,403 --> 00:10:42,190
Thank you.
148
00:10:46,990 --> 00:10:50,944
<i>It's the same the whole world over</i>.
149
00:10:52,269 --> 00:10:53,102
<i>It's</i> ..
150
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,183
<i>It's the poor what gets the blame</i>.
151
00:11:04,394 --> 00:11:08,374
<i>While the rich has all the pleasures</i>.
152
00:11:09,117 --> 00:11:12,780
<i>Now, ain't that the blinking shame</i>.
153
00:11:19,442 --> 00:11:20,183
Hello.
154
00:11:20,703 --> 00:11:21,996
You did scare me.
155
00:11:22,780 --> 00:11:24,167
I thought I was hearing things.
156
00:11:24,565 --> 00:11:25,460
You were.
157
00:11:25,819 --> 00:11:26,681
But I mean.
158
00:11:27,344 --> 00:11:28,245
A man's voice.
159
00:11:29,023 --> 00:11:30,360
So funny here.
160
00:11:32,142 --> 00:11:34,993
Doesn't the tide wash up
many male fish, my angel?
161
00:11:35,476 --> 00:11:38,023
A man is as scarce as
hansom cabs in these parts.
162
00:11:38,377 --> 00:11:40,049
That is, all but the old ones.
163
00:11:40,330 --> 00:11:43,699
The young ones go off to London or
some foreign parts as soon as they can.
164
00:11:44,405 --> 00:11:45,990
Are you going off to foreign parts?
165
00:11:46,537 --> 00:11:48,929
It depends.
- Depends on what?
166
00:11:49,541 --> 00:11:51,342
If anyone ever asks me.
167
00:11:52,252 --> 00:11:54,778
I shouldn't think with eyes like them
there would be any difficulty.
168
00:11:55,570 --> 00:11:56,438
Go on.
169
00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:59,288
What's your name?
- Lucy.
170
00:11:59,889 --> 00:12:02,390
What's yours?
- Albert. I'm Miss Creel's nephew.
171
00:12:02,791 --> 00:12:05,195
Funny .. I never heard about you.
172
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,223
That must be remedied.
173
00:12:09,483 --> 00:12:12,253
How about making the most of a male
fish now one has been washed up, eh?
174
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,043
What about a smacker?
- No, you mustn't.
175
00:12:15,952 --> 00:12:17,175
I don't know you.
176
00:12:17,650 --> 00:12:19,993
You needn't know people to kiss them.
- I do.
177
00:12:21,065 --> 00:12:22,481
Alright my girl. It's your loss.
178
00:12:23,722 --> 00:12:25,495
You think a lot of yourself, don't you?
179
00:12:36,494 --> 00:12:39,581
Has Lucy been entertaining you, Albert?
- Eh?
180
00:12:40,669 --> 00:12:42,777
She came in. We had a word or two.
181
00:12:43,910 --> 00:12:46,728
Nice looker, isn't she?
- I didn't notice.
182
00:12:47,252 --> 00:12:50,496
Come now, Albert.
Don't lose your sense of humour.
183
00:12:50,712 --> 00:12:53,147
I hope you're not one of those who
won't benefit from experience.
184
00:12:53,446 --> 00:12:57,232
Otherwise my twelve pounds
will be rather wasted, won't it.
185
00:12:58,006 --> 00:12:59,937
Don't you worry Miss Fiske.
I've had my lesson.
186
00:13:00,307 --> 00:13:01,631
I hope so.
187
00:13:05,189 --> 00:13:07,912
Now .. this is where we
keep our little hoard.
188
00:13:09,396 --> 00:13:11,055
It's an old bake-oven really.
189
00:13:12,795 --> 00:13:14,007
A proper tomb, isn't it?
190
00:13:15,288 --> 00:13:16,161
What's that?
191
00:13:16,603 --> 00:13:18,678
This is what they used to
pull the loaves out with.
192
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:24,941
Of course, we don't use it as a
bake-oven. Hasn't been used in years.
193
00:13:30,894 --> 00:13:31,880
Now then.
194
00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:34,726
Twelve pounds, I think you said.
195
00:13:35,604 --> 00:13:37,505
You couldn't make if fifteen?
- No, I couldn't.
196
00:13:37,721 --> 00:13:38,593
You couldn't?
197
00:13:40,918 --> 00:13:42,648
Do I give you an I.O.U.?
198
00:13:43,001 --> 00:13:44,040
No thank you.
199
00:13:44,453 --> 00:13:45,721
This isn't a loan.
200
00:13:46,087 --> 00:13:49,548
I shouldn't like you to incur the
remorse of not paying it back.
201
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:51,267
You are a daisy.
202
00:13:53,929 --> 00:13:55,680
Very prettily done, Albert.
203
00:14:00,308 --> 00:14:02,327
Now, let's forget all about it.
204
00:14:04,460 --> 00:14:06,870
If you came next week, you'd have
found three of your aunts here.
205
00:14:07,162 --> 00:14:09,049
Ellen is bringing her
sisters back from London.
206
00:14:09,406 --> 00:14:11,513
What, the potty ones?
- Potty?
207
00:14:11,729 --> 00:14:13,188
Queer as mice in a cage.
208
00:14:14,466 --> 00:14:16,775
They're quite harmless.
Especially when aunt Ellen's around.
209
00:14:17,257 --> 00:14:20,141
For comfort, they're coming
to stay here for a few days.
210
00:14:20,646 --> 00:14:23,031
They seem to mean quite a
great deal to your aunt Ellen.
211
00:14:23,247 --> 00:14:24,573
Oh, they would.
212
00:14:25,219 --> 00:14:27,164
She's looked after them
since she was a kid.
213
00:14:27,426 --> 00:14:30,676
She's watched over them like they were
a couple of perishing babes-in-arms.
214
00:14:31,397 --> 00:14:34,292
I think that's very commendable of her.
- Perhaps, but ..
215
00:14:34,796 --> 00:14:36,355
Think of all the fun she's missing.
216
00:14:37,398 --> 00:14:40,282
What, for example?
- You know.
217
00:14:41,511 --> 00:14:42,582
I see.
218
00:14:43,201 --> 00:14:46,094
I have to be toddling along.
I'll pay you back as soon as I can.
219
00:14:51,506 --> 00:14:54,128
I'd appreciate if you don't mention
our little transaction to aunt Ellen.
220
00:14:54,344 --> 00:14:55,709
Very well. If you like.
221
00:14:56,156 --> 00:14:57,446
How about .. whatsername?
222
00:14:57,987 --> 00:15:00,717
Lucy? Oh she won't say anything.
I'll take care of that.
223
00:15:01,147 --> 00:15:01,848
Thanks.
224
00:15:04,128 --> 00:15:05,104
So long my lady.
225
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,428
And again from the heart. I'll never
forget your kindness as long as I live.
226
00:15:10,954 --> 00:15:12,887
I hope you live a great
deal longer than that.
227
00:15:41,690 --> 00:15:45,882
Isn't it funny, Ellen? You can't see
the wind and you can't touch it.
228
00:15:46,164 --> 00:15:47,202
But it's there.
229
00:15:48,220 --> 00:15:51,549
I think you'd better have this round
you, dear. It's getting quite chilly.
230
00:15:52,323 --> 00:15:54,061
Listen .. what's that?
231
00:15:54,324 --> 00:15:56,455
Those are The Priory bells, dear.
From over the marshes.
232
00:15:56,671 --> 00:15:58,875
Oh .. I shan't like that.
233
00:16:00,388 --> 00:16:03,269
She hates bells.
- Especially church bells.
234
00:16:03,959 --> 00:16:06,415
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong.
235
00:16:06,823 --> 00:16:08,452
Aren't the marshes pretty.
236
00:16:09,396 --> 00:16:11,378
The grass is too long and untidy.
237
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,566
If I had a knife and a bit of string,
I'd cut it and tie it up in bundles.
238
00:16:18,823 --> 00:16:21,809
Are there any sheep here on the marshes?
- Yes, Miss.
239
00:16:22,119 --> 00:16:25,040
I think sheep are so clever to
chew their cud the way they do.
240
00:16:25,490 --> 00:16:26,918
It's very difficult.
241
00:16:27,875 --> 00:16:29,030
I've tried.
242
00:16:31,415 --> 00:16:34,749
You ought to be a sailor, Miss.
They're always chewing tobacco.
243
00:16:35,584 --> 00:16:37,415
The man I was to marry was a sailor.
244
00:16:38,195 --> 00:16:39,482
He gave me this.
245
00:16:40,242 --> 00:16:42,105
It's all I have to remember him by.
246
00:16:43,219 --> 00:16:44,631
He was wrecked at sea.
247
00:16:46,036 --> 00:16:47,692
They were all drowned.
248
00:16:48,609 --> 00:16:50,781
It must have been a bit of
sadness for you, Missy.
249
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,617
Oh no. I've quite forgotten
what he looked like.
250
00:16:53,867 --> 00:16:58,114
I saw a drowned man once. They took
him out of the Thames. He was green.
251
00:16:59,726 --> 00:17:00,800
Frogs.
252
00:17:01,614 --> 00:17:03,598
There must be lots of frogs.
253
00:17:04,872 --> 00:17:07,194
We used to have such
fun with them at home.
254
00:17:07,942 --> 00:17:11,767
We used to put them on the dining-table
and make them jump in the marmalade pot.
255
00:17:24,590 --> 00:17:27,124
Look. There's a bird's nest.
- So there is.
256
00:17:27,425 --> 00:17:29,585
It must be last summer's.
- I should like to have that.
257
00:17:29,801 --> 00:17:30,956
Bates, stop please.
258
00:17:33,961 --> 00:17:35,709
Oh .. I have it.
259
00:17:37,576 --> 00:17:40,244
Isn't it beautiful?
- Oh dear, it's all cobwebby.
260
00:17:41,088 --> 00:17:43,437
And it has a horrid smell.
- It mustn't be wasted.
261
00:17:43,773 --> 00:17:46,676
I shall save it until next year
and then I'll put it back again.
262
00:17:47,792 --> 00:17:49,568
Who knows where we'll be next year?
263
00:17:50,919 --> 00:17:53,493
Not in London anyway. You promised that.
264
00:17:54,646 --> 00:17:56,807
Yes, I promised that.
- Look.
265
00:17:59,651 --> 00:18:02,019
Louisa .. how did that happen?
266
00:18:02,290 --> 00:18:03,334
She did it.
- Who?
267
00:18:03,721 --> 00:18:04,985
That woman in London.
268
00:18:05,980 --> 00:18:08,599
She didn't give us enough food either.
- 'Discipline' she said.
269
00:18:09,276 --> 00:18:11,196
Louisa used to cry all night.
270
00:18:11,605 --> 00:18:13,863
I didn't. She couldn't discipline me.
271
00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:17,371
We'll be alright here
though with Miss Fiske.
272
00:18:17,911 --> 00:18:18,927
She won't beat us.
273
00:18:20,371 --> 00:18:22,086
No darling, she won't beat you.
274
00:18:23,299 --> 00:18:24,774
No-one will again. Ever.
275
00:18:35,203 --> 00:18:38,132
Now remember what I told you both.
You're not to talk too much.
276
00:18:38,505 --> 00:18:40,175
Wait until Miss Fiske knows you better.
277
00:18:40,391 --> 00:18:42,433
How can she get to know
us better if we don't talk?
278
00:18:43,833 --> 00:18:45,955
Come along dear.
Bates, get the luggage, will you.
279
00:18:46,171 --> 00:18:47,147
Yes, ma'am.
280
00:18:55,788 --> 00:18:57,441
They look harmless.
- What, Miss?
281
00:18:58,044 --> 00:19:00,065
Never mind. Go and put the kettle on.
- Yes, Miss.
282
00:19:07,201 --> 00:19:09,332
Well, here we are.
- I'm glad.
283
00:19:09,821 --> 00:19:12,750
Miss Fiske .. my sister
Emily, my sister Louisa.
284
00:19:13,012 --> 00:19:15,614
How do you do, Emily?
- We're very glad to be here.
285
00:19:16,355 --> 00:19:18,625
Louisa.
- I don't like people to touch me.
286
00:19:20,092 --> 00:19:22,203
I'm afraid Miss Fiske will
think you're very rude.
287
00:19:22,637 --> 00:19:25,893
They're rather tired, poor dears.
- I never get tired.
288
00:19:26,246 --> 00:19:28,424
I sometimes walk about
the house all night.
289
00:19:29,354 --> 00:19:32,358
Do you indeed?
- No, of course she doesn't, Miss Fiske.
290
00:19:35,582 --> 00:19:37,090
What beautiful furniture.
291
00:19:37,766 --> 00:19:40,401
Just like we used to have
before we lost all our money.
292
00:19:40,705 --> 00:19:44,104
Some of these <i>are </i>our things, dear.
Miss Fiske bought them at my Curio Shop.
293
00:19:44,499 --> 00:19:45,716
I want my tea.
294
00:19:45,982 --> 00:19:49,687
Emily, see .. here's the
grand champ himself.
295
00:19:50,198 --> 00:19:52,303
Remember when father bought him for us?
296
00:19:52,874 --> 00:19:54,913
I wonder if his head still nods.
297
00:19:55,230 --> 00:19:57,850
Ding-dong, ding-dong ..
- Louisa, dear.
298
00:19:58,188 --> 00:20:00,094
Bates, be careful.
You'll scratch the furniture.
299
00:20:00,329 --> 00:20:01,719
Very good, ma'am.
300
00:20:07,149 --> 00:20:09,201
I must say you've brought
enough luggage with you.
301
00:20:09,549 --> 00:20:11,220
We've brought everything.
- Everything?
302
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,760
We had to.
- Why?
303
00:20:13,089 --> 00:20:14,453
When they sent for the police.
304
00:20:14,787 --> 00:20:17,483
Now, my dears. I'm sure all this
can't possibly interest Miss Fiske.
305
00:20:17,819 --> 00:20:19,779
I think we should go up
and rest a bit before tea.
306
00:20:20,125 --> 00:20:22,023
Whatever you say, Ellen.
- Come along, Emily.
307
00:20:22,239 --> 00:20:24,948
That smelly train was very dirty.
308
00:20:25,188 --> 00:20:28,708
She's always fussing about the dirt.
I hope you keep things tidy here.
309
00:20:28,924 --> 00:20:32,483
Cleanliness is next to
Godliness .. don't you agree?
310
00:20:33,018 --> 00:20:35,985
Well .. I'm quite clean, I believe.
311
00:20:36,652 --> 00:20:39,005
But I don't know that
I'm particularly Godly.
312
00:20:39,668 --> 00:20:41,267
I thought you were a Roman.
313
00:20:41,837 --> 00:20:42,824
Isn't that yours?
314
00:20:43,077 --> 00:20:45,458
Miss Fiske is a Roman, dear.
And a very devoted one.
315
00:20:45,929 --> 00:20:47,614
Come along Louisa, Emily.
316
00:20:47,957 --> 00:20:50,102
Father, didn't approve of Romans.
317
00:20:52,032 --> 00:20:53,290
And neither do I.
318
00:21:13,724 --> 00:21:16,116
I expect it's one of those boobies.
319
00:21:16,588 --> 00:21:20,641
Miss Emily was drawing cat's faces on
brown paper yesterday when you were out.
320
00:21:21,138 --> 00:21:23,357
I can't stand it. I can't stand it.
321
00:21:23,721 --> 00:21:26,634
My lovely paisley shawl. It's ruined.
322
00:21:27,927 --> 00:21:31,189
You'd better get some vinegar and see
if you can do something about this spot.
323
00:21:31,443 --> 00:21:32,256
Yes, Miss.
324
00:21:32,810 --> 00:21:35,900
I'm utterly exhausted clearing
up after their messes.
325
00:21:36,172 --> 00:21:38,204
I don't wonder, Miss. So am I.
326
00:21:38,529 --> 00:21:42,030
And you should see their
bedroom. It's like a goat's-pen.
327
00:21:42,483 --> 00:21:45,783
I know it. If it isn't one
thing, it's another.
328
00:21:46,153 --> 00:21:49,633
For the last six weeks were like living
in the middle of Piccadilly Circus.
329
00:21:50,566 --> 00:21:52,478
My heart won't stand it.
330
00:21:53,336 --> 00:21:55,144
Go and get my smelling salts.
331
00:21:56,829 --> 00:21:59,720
Where are they, Miss?
- In the usual place, of course.
332
00:21:59,984 --> 00:22:01,928
Nothing is in the usual
place these days.
333
00:22:02,169 --> 00:22:02,822
No.
334
00:22:03,664 --> 00:22:05,532
Well then, get me a cold compress.
335
00:22:06,303 --> 00:22:09,597
I shall lie down and
take a nap while I can.
336
00:22:13,641 --> 00:22:14,627
Miss Fiske.
337
00:22:14,950 --> 00:22:18,862
Yes, what is it? What is it?
- Will they be staying much longer?
338
00:22:20,743 --> 00:22:23,049
They'll have my invitation
to go this evening.
339
00:22:26,420 --> 00:22:30,273
Oh dear, I wonder where Emily has
gone to. She ought to be back by now.
340
00:22:31,513 --> 00:22:33,331
I can't see her anywhere.
341
00:22:33,776 --> 00:22:37,997
I wish I were brave like Emily.
I should like to take long walks too.
342
00:22:38,404 --> 00:22:40,016
And pick up things.
343
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,248
Perhaps I shall be able to
after we've stayed here longer.
344
00:22:44,902 --> 00:22:46,145
I'm sure you will, dear.
345
00:22:46,442 --> 00:22:48,530
I shall be staying here, shan't I?
346
00:22:49,544 --> 00:22:52,354
You're not planning to send us away?
Are you, Ellen?
347
00:22:53,227 --> 00:22:54,739
No dear. Of course I'm not.
348
00:22:55,199 --> 00:22:57,189
This is what you've always promised us.
349
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,885
A little place in the country
where we can always be safe.
350
00:23:01,424 --> 00:23:04,604
Yes .. it's the one thing
I've been working for.
351
00:23:05,415 --> 00:23:07,236
Ever since we had to
give up the old house.
352
00:23:07,574 --> 00:23:10,567
Naturally, Estuary House
could never be like that.
353
00:23:11,114 --> 00:23:12,511
But it's nice enough.
354
00:23:12,898 --> 00:23:14,774
Yes, and Miss Fiske has
been very kind to us.
355
00:23:15,471 --> 00:23:18,924
Miss Fiske .. may I tell
you something, Ellen?
356
00:23:19,743 --> 00:23:21,102
Just one of my secrets.
357
00:23:21,866 --> 00:23:22,931
Of course you may.
358
00:23:23,717 --> 00:23:25,589
I don't like Miss Fiske.
359
00:23:27,025 --> 00:23:30,951
Couldn't we send her away? Then it
would <i>really</i> be just the three of us.
360
00:23:31,260 --> 00:23:33,656
But I keep telling you,
Louisa. It's <i>her</i> house.
361
00:23:34,059 --> 00:23:36,189
Oh no. You'll never
make me believe that.
362
00:23:36,987 --> 00:23:38,457
All out lovely things are there.
363
00:23:39,795 --> 00:23:43,336
We'll never have to go away, will we?
- No, darling. I promised you.
364
00:23:44,163 --> 00:23:44,998
Never.
365
00:23:46,020 --> 00:23:48,323
I think Miss Fiske wants us to go.
366
00:23:49,091 --> 00:23:50,341
Both of us.
367
00:23:50,928 --> 00:23:52,812
I'm sure I can persuade
her to let you stay.
368
00:23:54,613 --> 00:23:56,349
Oh dear, I do wish Emily would come.
369
00:23:56,602 --> 00:23:58,912
Maybe we'd better get along
home in case she's waiting there.
370
00:23:59,701 --> 00:24:00,838
Come along, dear.
371
00:24:01,945 --> 00:24:04,810
I don't want her upsetting Miss Fiske
again. She can be very tactless.
372
00:24:23,370 --> 00:24:25,220
Here girl, take this.
373
00:24:25,436 --> 00:24:27,267
Thanks a lot. What are we to do with it?
374
00:24:27,506 --> 00:24:29,709
Put it in the woodshed,
where it belongs.
375
00:24:29,962 --> 00:24:33,268
The woodshed is full. I won't have
you cluttering up my kitchen with it.
376
00:24:33,731 --> 00:24:35,093
Very well then.
377
00:24:44,580 --> 00:24:46,788
Oh dear ..
378
00:24:48,844 --> 00:24:50,225
What is it now?
379
00:24:54,808 --> 00:24:56,535
Wait until Miss Fiske sees this.
380
00:24:57,306 --> 00:24:59,938
What's the matter now? My goodness.
381
00:25:00,154 --> 00:25:02,116
More wood?
- Yes. Miss Emily dumped it.
382
00:25:02,602 --> 00:25:04,986
Never mind. You get out of here.
- I got a nice lot today.
383
00:25:05,672 --> 00:25:08,305
What are you thinking of? Making a
mess with it all over my clean floor.
384
00:25:08,521 --> 00:25:10,394
The girl wouldn't let
me put it in the kitchen.
385
00:25:10,671 --> 00:25:13,708
She's quite right. I told you to stop
bringing in wood. We have enough.
386
00:25:13,924 --> 00:25:16,497
I must tidy up the river
banks. I hate waste.
387
00:25:16,713 --> 00:25:18,995
And I hate litter. Now you
clear it away immediately.
388
00:25:19,239 --> 00:25:21,201
I won't be ordered to do things.
389
00:25:22,767 --> 00:25:24,118
This is too much.
390
00:25:24,496 --> 00:25:26,293
My best polished table.
391
00:25:26,789 --> 00:25:28,933
Look how these shells have scratched it.
392
00:25:29,269 --> 00:25:31,965
What's this? Wet seaweed and a horrid ..
393
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,604
Dead bird.
394
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,561
Leave my bird alone. And my shells.
395
00:25:37,060 --> 00:25:38,248
They are my treasures.
396
00:25:38,610 --> 00:25:41,515
We don't understand expensive things.
It's so long since we had any.
397
00:25:41,981 --> 00:25:44,044
I know it's very simple of me.
But I am simple.
398
00:25:44,260 --> 00:25:46,087
Emily .. what's wrong?
399
00:25:46,309 --> 00:25:48,986
I hate her. She threw my
bird into the fireplace.
400
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,507
Emily, control yourself.
401
00:25:50,723 --> 00:25:52,603
See what she's done
with her ridiculous shells.
402
00:25:52,885 --> 00:25:54,816
It will take a month's
polishing to put it right.
403
00:25:55,032 --> 00:25:56,708
I'm sorry Miss Fiske, I'll put it right.
404
00:25:57,276 --> 00:26:00,394
No Ellen, you shan't. I'll do it.
Let me do it. I'll polish it.
405
00:26:00,610 --> 00:26:02,434
Every day, all through the winter.
406
00:26:02,769 --> 00:26:05,511
Sweet of you, Louisa. But I doubt
you'll be here through the winter.
407
00:26:05,969 --> 00:26:07,630
But we shall. Ellen said so.
408
00:26:07,953 --> 00:26:10,046
You're mistaken, Louisa.
I said nothing of the kind.
409
00:26:10,262 --> 00:26:12,701
But you did. You promised.
- Louisa, will you be quiet.
410
00:26:16,013 --> 00:26:18,157
My heavens. This is the last straw.
411
00:26:18,802 --> 00:26:20,996
You'll drive me as crazy as yourselves.
412
00:26:24,448 --> 00:26:25,406
Oh, Ellen.
413
00:26:27,312 --> 00:26:28,535
Miss Fiske.
414
00:26:29,134 --> 00:26:31,588
I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to say that, but ..
415
00:26:32,377 --> 00:26:34,890
I've had about as much as I can endure.
416
00:26:36,396 --> 00:26:39,219
Emily .. take Louisa upstairs.
417
00:26:39,889 --> 00:26:41,482
Now, stop your crying, Louisa.
418
00:26:42,358 --> 00:26:44,045
There's nothing to cry about.
419
00:26:45,286 --> 00:26:46,141
Do you hear?
420
00:26:46,743 --> 00:26:48,817
Go upstairs. Both of you.
421
00:26:51,981 --> 00:26:53,380
And close the door behind you.
422
00:26:58,271 --> 00:27:00,113
That was a cruel thing to say.
423
00:27:00,788 --> 00:27:01,944
But it's true.
424
00:27:02,778 --> 00:27:06,123
One with her telescope and the other
with her mania for collecting things.
425
00:27:06,703 --> 00:27:08,149
They are insane, both of them.
426
00:27:08,609 --> 00:27:10,479
Please don't use that word again.
427
00:27:11,078 --> 00:27:12,310
Emily was right.
428
00:27:12,956 --> 00:27:14,664
But then people who
have all they want ..
429
00:27:15,013 --> 00:27:17,979
Never understand how much the smallest
things mean to those who haven't.
430
00:27:18,345 --> 00:27:19,046
Really?
431
00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:21,362
I don't think this calls for a sermon.
432
00:27:22,276 --> 00:27:24,365
I've been more than generous
to you and your sisters.
433
00:27:24,581 --> 00:27:26,750
People have always been very
generous to you, Miss Fiske.
434
00:27:26,966 --> 00:27:29,126
My sisters and I have never had
friends to send <i>us</i> money.
435
00:27:29,379 --> 00:27:31,480
That's hardly my fault, is it.
- No.
436
00:27:31,793 --> 00:27:35,189
Don't you feel you have a responsibility
to those less fortunate than you?
437
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,615
I don't know what you're talking about.
438
00:27:38,441 --> 00:27:40,476
Life hasn't been very
kind to us, Miss Fiske.
439
00:27:40,817 --> 00:27:42,798
Every penny we've ever
had, I've had to work for.
440
00:27:43,014 --> 00:27:45,706
Every penny. But at least
we have our self-respect.
441
00:27:47,024 --> 00:27:48,654
How dare you.
442
00:27:49,634 --> 00:27:51,866
How dare you criticise my life.
443
00:27:52,216 --> 00:27:55,606
Do you think I don't envy women who
have respectability? Who have families?
444
00:27:55,822 --> 00:27:58,890
Who aren't just forgotten and pensioned
off when they lose their stock-in-trade.
445
00:27:59,208 --> 00:28:01,196
Then you can't blame me
for fighting for my family.
446
00:28:01,412 --> 00:28:03,466
Very admirable, but it's
your family and not mine.
447
00:28:03,941 --> 00:28:05,065
Let me tell you this.
448
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,935
Your sisters, insane or not,
have overstayed their welcome.
449
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,611
I invite them here for two days
and they've stayed six weeks.
450
00:28:10,827 --> 00:28:13,450
Or perhaps you were planning
to keep them here forever?
451
00:28:14,485 --> 00:28:16,324
Well .. I had thought ..
452
00:28:17,124 --> 00:28:19,622
That I might pay something out
of my wages for their keep.
453
00:28:19,895 --> 00:28:22,261
Ellen, you're a hypocrite.
You're worse, you're a cheat.
454
00:28:22,937 --> 00:28:26,279
You meant to foist your wretched
brood on me and bleed me white.
455
00:28:26,626 --> 00:28:30,814
And when I saw through your scheme, you
had the insolence to turn and abuse me.
456
00:28:31,124 --> 00:28:32,701
But you've chosen the wrong woman.
457
00:28:32,917 --> 00:28:35,255
You get those sisters of yours
out of this house at once.
458
00:28:35,604 --> 00:28:37,644
And take a month's wages
and go with them.
459
00:28:39,743 --> 00:28:40,815
Miss Fiske.
460
00:29:08,710 --> 00:29:11,039
Ellen .. why aren't you in bed?
461
00:29:11,451 --> 00:29:13,179
Why are you prowling about at this hour?
462
00:29:13,761 --> 00:29:16,786
Miss Fiske, may I come in?
I must talk with you, please.
463
00:29:17,357 --> 00:29:18,516
Well, mind your tongue.
464
00:29:18,764 --> 00:29:20,987
We don't want any more of
this afternoon's unpleasantness.
465
00:29:23,612 --> 00:29:24,936
I'm sorry about that.
466
00:29:25,715 --> 00:29:27,833
I was wrong. I shouldn't
have spoken to you as I did.
467
00:29:28,791 --> 00:29:30,462
No .. you shouldn't.
468
00:29:37,617 --> 00:29:38,744
Miss Fiske.
469
00:29:39,702 --> 00:29:42,303
Do you remember the letter that arrived
the day I went away to London?
470
00:29:42,556 --> 00:29:46,058
Yes .. what about it?
- It was from their landlady.
471
00:29:46,613 --> 00:29:47,747
Emily and Louisa.
472
00:29:48,187 --> 00:29:49,552
Had been a little difficult.
473
00:29:49,893 --> 00:29:51,137
She'd sent for the police.
474
00:29:52,329 --> 00:29:54,369
They were going to be
put away in an institution.
475
00:29:54,764 --> 00:29:57,034
The landlady was quite right.
That's where they belong.
476
00:29:57,393 --> 00:30:00,433
But Miss Fiske, you don't
understand. They're my sisters.
477
00:30:00,820 --> 00:30:02,707
You don't know what I've
gone through for them.
478
00:30:02,923 --> 00:30:05,036
They've no-one else in the
world to turn to but me.
479
00:30:05,740 --> 00:30:08,948
I pleaded with the police to release
them. They agreed on one condition.
480
00:30:09,533 --> 00:30:11,458
That they were to remain
in my personal care.
481
00:30:11,740 --> 00:30:13,336
That I was to be responsible for them.
482
00:30:13,787 --> 00:30:15,440
And if there were any more complaints.
483
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,522
That they were to be put away forever.
That's why I can't send them away.
484
00:30:19,825 --> 00:30:21,889
All this devotion is
very admirable, Ellen.
485
00:30:22,285 --> 00:30:24,471
But I fail to see how I can
help in any way at all.
486
00:30:24,801 --> 00:30:26,903
Oh but you can. You can, Miss Fiske.
487
00:30:27,618 --> 00:30:29,823
I thought perhaps they
might use the attic upstairs.
488
00:30:30,162 --> 00:30:32,379
They'll stay there out of the
way where you don't see them.
489
00:30:32,716 --> 00:30:34,876
They could use the back stairs
when they come in and out.
490
00:30:35,129 --> 00:30:37,055
Ellen, what are you talking about?
491
00:30:37,271 --> 00:30:40,267
I promise they'll never come near you.
You'll never know they're in the house.
492
00:30:40,829 --> 00:30:43,797
I'll look after them myself.
I'll cook their meals for them.
493
00:30:44,387 --> 00:30:46,231
I promise they won't
be any more trouble.
494
00:30:46,913 --> 00:30:49,120
Miss Fiske, they must
be with me, they must.
495
00:30:49,439 --> 00:30:51,590
I'll pay for their keep.
I'll work for nothing.
496
00:30:51,834 --> 00:30:54,509
Please .. oh, please Miss Fiske.
497
00:30:54,829 --> 00:30:56,720
Ellen, have you quite
gone out of your mind?
498
00:30:57,064 --> 00:31:00,126
You must be blind if you can't realise
they'd always be getting in my way.
499
00:31:00,342 --> 00:31:02,612
You pack them off tomorrow.
- But, Miss Fiske. Won't ..?
500
00:31:02,828 --> 00:31:04,369
No Ellen, my mind is made up.
501
00:31:05,471 --> 00:31:09,239
If you want to, you can stay here a few
days until you've found a new situation.
502
00:31:10,018 --> 00:31:12,814
Now run along to bed. And make
certain they leave tomorrow.
503
00:31:14,132 --> 00:31:16,592
You wouldn't want me to be sending
for the police, would you?
504
00:31:18,682 --> 00:31:20,329
Goodnight Ellen. I'm tired.
505
00:31:24,230 --> 00:31:25,186
Goodnight.
506
00:31:48,528 --> 00:31:50,908
But you told her you were
going to send us away.
507
00:31:52,592 --> 00:31:54,344
I'm not going to send you away.
508
00:31:54,732 --> 00:31:56,620
We heard you. We were listening.
509
00:31:57,784 --> 00:31:59,386
Isn't she terrible, Ellen?
510
00:32:00,207 --> 00:32:01,536
She's wicked.
511
00:32:03,006 --> 00:32:04,907
I'm not going to send you away.
512
00:32:06,836 --> 00:32:07,678
Never.
513
00:32:08,554 --> 00:32:11,269
If you're not sending us away,
what are you going to do?
514
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,293
I don't know.
515
00:32:16,674 --> 00:32:17,831
I must think.
516
00:32:30,078 --> 00:32:32,550
I've always wanted
to explore an old castle.
517
00:32:32,971 --> 00:32:35,857
Will it have a dungeon do you think?
- They all have dungeons.
518
00:32:36,191 --> 00:32:36,978
With bats.
519
00:32:37,415 --> 00:32:39,138
No, dear. Bats are in belfries.
520
00:32:39,459 --> 00:32:43,180
There's sure to be secret passageways
and places where they'd hide things.
521
00:32:45,198 --> 00:32:46,346
Like that.
522
00:32:54,259 --> 00:32:58,372
Yes .. I'm sure Miss Fiske has lots
of exciting things hidden in there.
523
00:32:58,588 --> 00:33:00,212
Her jewels, I'm sure.
524
00:33:01,019 --> 00:33:04,181
I've looked in all her boxes and
haven't been able to find them.
525
00:33:04,718 --> 00:33:07,167
Are you both ready?
- Oh yes. Quite.
526
00:33:07,404 --> 00:33:10,004
I managed to pack all
the lunch into one bag.
527
00:33:10,660 --> 00:33:11,630
Mine.
528
00:33:12,914 --> 00:33:15,600
Come here and sit down.
I want to talk to you both.
529
00:33:25,193 --> 00:33:25,808
Now.
530
00:33:26,107 --> 00:33:28,868
I haven't told you the real reason why
you're being sent away for a whole day.
531
00:33:29,589 --> 00:33:32,633
The truth is I want to be entirely
alone with Miss Fiske for a few hours.
532
00:33:32,849 --> 00:33:34,817
Is that why you got rid of Lucy too?
533
00:33:35,131 --> 00:33:37,177
I didn't get rid of Lucy, Emily.
She had a toothache.
534
00:33:37,393 --> 00:33:40,293
Oh Ellen dear, you know that's
not true. She didn't want to go at all.
535
00:33:40,754 --> 00:33:42,833
I said she had a toothache, Louisa.
536
00:33:44,698 --> 00:33:45,628
Now listen.
537
00:33:46,220 --> 00:33:49,408
Last night, while you were both asleep,
I had a long talk with Miss Fiske.
538
00:33:50,131 --> 00:33:52,867
She's tired of the marshes
and wants to travel for a bit.
539
00:33:53,530 --> 00:33:55,633
I've persuaded her to
sell this house to me.
540
00:33:55,849 --> 00:33:58,210
Not really, Ellen?
- We haven't discussed price yet.
541
00:33:58,976 --> 00:34:02,422
That's why I must be alone with her, so
we can talk with nothing to distract us.
542
00:34:02,694 --> 00:34:05,355
She may want more than
you're prepared to pay.
543
00:34:07,101 --> 00:34:09,142
I'm prepared to pay
quite a big price, Emily.
544
00:34:09,569 --> 00:34:11,442
Oh, lovely, lovely, lovely.
545
00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:14,491
Oh Emily, aren't you excited?
- Louisa, be quiet.
546
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:17,415
Now, there's one more thing.
547
00:34:18,401 --> 00:34:19,716
The most important.
548
00:34:35,231 --> 00:34:36,722
You see this bible, both of you?
549
00:34:37,587 --> 00:34:39,899
I want you to swear on it.
By father's memory.
550
00:34:40,590 --> 00:34:43,550
That you'll never repeat a word of my
buying this house as long as you live.
551
00:34:45,940 --> 00:34:46,963
What do I say?
552
00:34:47,581 --> 00:34:48,963
Just say 'I swear'.
553
00:34:49,670 --> 00:34:51,113
Oh .. I swear.
554
00:34:51,554 --> 00:34:52,484
You too, Emily.
555
00:34:52,787 --> 00:34:54,831
I won't swear on the bible. It's wicked.
556
00:34:55,435 --> 00:34:56,571
If you don't Emily ..
557
00:34:56,869 --> 00:34:59,143
I shan't buy the house and I'll
send you both back to London.
558
00:34:59,426 --> 00:35:01,058
Oh Emily, be sensible.
559
00:35:01,660 --> 00:35:04,984
I don't like being made
to do things .. I promise.
560
00:35:05,604 --> 00:35:06,759
Now, remember.
561
00:35:07,527 --> 00:35:09,016
That's a sacred oath.
562
00:35:15,968 --> 00:35:18,162
Here's Bates. Hurry now.
There's no time to waste.

Drive slowly Bates.
Please don't let them get cold.

You can take your time. I shan't be
expecting you back before dusk.

Very good, ma'am.
566

Goodbye Ellen. I wish you could come.
- I wish you were coming too.

Goodbye Ellen.
- Goodbye.

Goodbye, dears.

Have a good time.
- Thank you.

I'm out of practice.

00:37:11,178 --> 00:37:14,210
To dear Louisa and dear Emily.

May we never meet again.

00:37:22,767 --> 00:37:24,335

May we come in?
- Yes.
576
00:39:25,330 --> 00:39:28,536
I'd like to speak to Miss Ellen.
Unless Miss Fiske is back?
577
00:39:29,038 --> 00:39:32,096
No, she's still away. I'll fetch Ellen.
578
00:39:34,682 --> 00:39:36,292
We're making jam.
579
00:39:44,568 --> 00:39:45,883
Good evening.
580
00:39:46,963 --> 00:39:48,418
It isn't a very good one, is it?
581
00:39:48,747 --> 00:39:52,681
No, as a matter of fact it's not.
Cats and dogs.

Good evening, Sisters.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

But we're in the middle of
putting up our quince jam.
585
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,087
Please don't apologise. I'm afraid
we've come on a begging errand.
586
00:40:04,550 --> 00:40:06,781
Our supplier of oil hasn't
arrived from Rochester.
587
00:40:07,225 --> 00:40:10,245
And the Reverend Mother wondered
if we might borrow a can until Sunday.

Will you run out to the shed
and bring in a can of paraffin.

Yes, Miss Ellen.

What are you doing here, hanging
about with the storm and all?

I've a little business inside.
Had to ensure the coast was clear.

- Listen, Lucky.

Is Miss Fiske about?
- No, she's away.

- She's here right enough.

And them two crazy sisters of hers.
- Does she know I've been here before?

No. Mistress said not to say.
- Good. Get on with your work.

Not that we shan't .. later.

I'm very particular who I know.
607
00:41:30,205 --> 00:41:33,391
For a moment, when I saw the candles
burning, I thought Miss Fiske was back.

Ellen's been lighting them lately.

I really couldn't say, Sister.

She hasn't written for over a fortnight.

We were so surprised
to learn she'd gone.

She hadn't mentioned she was
planning a journey anywhere.

No. It was quite unexpected.

She had a letter from some old
friends inviting her on a trip.

- Thank you.

Sisters Lucy and give them a hand.

who is watching us.

in league with the nuns.

Against us.

Ellen would never do that.
- She's taken to lighting those candles.

I think I'll blow them out.
- Ellen wouldn't like that.

turned Roman have you?

holiday from my bank over in Gravesend.

wrong, have you?

00:49:09,237 --> 00:49:11,605
I sort-of helped myself to a
little salary I wasn't entitled to.
730
00:49:12,885 --> 00:49:14,393
You mean, you've stolen money.
731
00:49:16,415 --> 00:49:19,181
This is rattling good brandy.
- Answer me, Albert.
732
00:49:21,270 --> 00:49:23,848
You've got it.
- How much?
733
00:49:24,594 --> 00:49:27,402
A small matter of a hundred pounds.
- I'll see.
734
00:49:30,342 --> 00:49:33,271
I suppose you want me to give you the
hundred pounds so you can put it back?
735
00:49:33,515 --> 00:49:36,477
I'm afraid it's too late for that.
They found out, the police.
736
00:49:37,180 --> 00:49:38,164
The police?
737
00:49:38,389 --> 00:49:42,016
A friend passed me the tip they were
coming. So I .. I took French leave.
738
00:49:42,455 --> 00:49:44,956
But .. they'll follow you.
They'll come here.
739
00:49:46,079 --> 00:49:49,774
Don't worry .. no-one knows I've got
relations out here on the marshes.
740
00:49:51,122 --> 00:49:52,699
I'll be safe here for a lifetime.
741
00:49:53,159 --> 00:49:55,319
You're certainly not going
to stay here for a lifetime.
742
00:49:55,769 --> 00:49:57,815
Surely you don't mind me
staying for a while, do you?
743
00:49:58,340 --> 00:50:00,745
Until it all blows over.
- Then what do you propose to do?
744
00:50:01,094 --> 00:50:03,725
Clear out of the country.
America, Australia. Any old where.
745
00:50:04,230 --> 00:50:06,552
I'm .. counting on you to help me.
746
00:50:06,868 --> 00:50:08,188
I need money for my passage.
747
00:50:08,631 --> 00:50:09,630
I'm .. I'm stony.
748
00:50:11,353 --> 00:50:13,246
It won't cost much. Steerage.
749
00:50:13,691 --> 00:50:15,882
I don't see why I should concern
myself with your affairs.
750
00:50:16,414 --> 00:50:17,870
I'll land in prison if you don't.
751
00:50:19,541 --> 00:50:22,420
You're not the sort to turn anybody down
who's in trouble and needed your help.
752
00:50:23,210 --> 00:50:24,969
You wouldn't fail your
own flesh and blood.
753
00:50:25,185 --> 00:50:27,020
I'm no flesh and blood of yours, Albert.
754
00:50:27,468 --> 00:50:29,199
Won't you give me a
chance to start again?
755
00:50:29,415 --> 00:50:30,734
I promise. Cross my heart.
756
00:50:31,090 --> 00:50:33,457
I'll never do anything wrong
again for the rest of my natural.
757
00:50:33,673 --> 00:50:35,143
Let me go.
758
00:50:41,301 --> 00:50:44,030
Very well. I'll do it.
- Bless you, Ellen.
759
00:50:44,415 --> 00:50:46,973
You're a daisy, you are.
- We'll talk about it in the morning.
760
00:50:47,820 --> 00:50:50,180
You can sleep on the sofa tonight.
- I don't mind where I sleep.
761
00:50:50,396 --> 00:50:51,419
But mind you ..
762
00:50:51,635 --> 00:50:54,218
You can only stay until I've
arranged your passage on the boat.
763
00:50:54,434 --> 00:50:57,466
Anything you say,
Ellen old girl .. what's that?
764
00:50:57,983 --> 00:50:59,945
That's just the maid.
She's been out on an errand.
765
00:51:01,006 --> 00:51:02,550
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss?
766
00:51:04,518 --> 00:51:06,220
They'll be a gentleman
staying the night.
767
00:51:06,639 --> 00:51:07,819
A gentleman staying?
768
00:51:08,099 --> 00:51:09,776
A relation. He'll sleep in here.
769
00:51:10,033 --> 00:51:12,679
Now go to your room and change your
wet clothes before you start sneezing.
770
00:51:12,895 --> 00:51:15,090
Yes, Miss .. goodnight.
- Goodnight.
771
00:51:15,306 --> 00:51:16,096
Goodnight.
772
00:51:16,620 --> 00:51:17,557
'Lucy', is it?
773
00:51:19,035 --> 00:51:20,472
Yes .. Lucy.
774
00:51:23,706 --> 00:51:25,687
I fancy that's all for
tonight, aunt Ellen.
775
00:51:26,138 --> 00:51:29,180
I'll just have a weed before
I turn in. The last of the day.
776
00:51:30,306 --> 00:51:32,729
You seem to be taking this
all very lightly, Albert.
777
00:51:33,490 --> 00:51:35,166
You have told me the worst, haven't you?
778
00:51:35,601 --> 00:51:38,110
I mean, there isn't anything else?
- What else?
779
00:51:40,653 --> 00:51:42,212
There are worse things than stealing.
780
00:51:42,987 --> 00:51:43,994
For instance?
781
00:51:45,828 --> 00:51:47,359
No, there's no blood on my hands.
782
00:51:47,743 --> 00:51:49,703
Putting people out calls
for <i>real </i>nerve, you know.
783
00:51:54,270 --> 00:51:55,303
Yes.
784
00:51:59,547 --> 00:52:01,321
Goodnight, Albert.
- Nighty night.
785
00:53:12,967 --> 00:53:15,145
Did you enjoy the sermon, Mr Bates?
786
00:53:15,603 --> 00:53:16,818
Mighty powerful, Miss.
787
00:53:17,293 --> 00:53:18,797
Yes. It was, wasn't it.
788
00:53:20,284 --> 00:53:22,109
But there was a lot I didn't understand.
789
00:53:23,490 --> 00:53:24,866
The part that went ..
790
00:53:25,639 --> 00:53:26,568
How was it?
791
00:53:27,496 --> 00:53:29,004
The wicked flee.
792
00:53:30,087 --> 00:53:32,717
When no man .. pursueth.
793
00:53:34,739 --> 00:53:36,575
But .. but ..
794
00:53:38,561 --> 00:53:41,233
The righteous are as bold as a lion.
795
00:54:08,319 --> 00:54:09,297
Well.
796
00:54:10,743 --> 00:54:12,479
What do you think you're doing?
797
00:54:13,690 --> 00:54:16,840
I fooled around with this padlock
last night and it .. came off.
798
00:54:17,592 --> 00:54:18,689
You shouldn't have.
799
00:54:19,344 --> 00:54:21,297
That's where Miss Fiske
keeps her valuables.
800
00:54:21,551 --> 00:54:23,794
How does she get at them?
With a pickaxe? Look.
801
00:54:25,898 --> 00:54:28,667
Well I never. All bricked up.
802
00:54:29,531 --> 00:54:31,248
I wonder why that was done.
803
00:54:31,530 --> 00:54:33,342
It wasn't that way the
last time I was here.
804
00:54:33,821 --> 00:54:35,868
So you've had your nose
in there before, have you?
805
00:54:36,948 --> 00:54:39,174
Funny what nasty thoughts
people have sometimes, isn't it.
806
00:54:39,390 --> 00:54:41,597
Funny how they're right
sometimes, isn't it.
807
00:54:59,037 --> 00:55:01,443
I wonder why anyone would want
to brick up a place like that?
808
00:55:02,492 --> 00:55:05,171
Maybe Miss Fiske put her jewels
in there before she went away.
809
00:55:05,807 --> 00:55:08,881
You know .. she's not one to take
any chances leaving them about.
810
00:55:09,234 --> 00:55:10,530
Even with your aunt Ellen.
811
00:55:12,817 --> 00:55:15,523
If there are any sparkles in there,
I wouldn't mind having a peep at them.
812
00:55:15,748 --> 00:55:18,262
I'm sure you wouldn't.
- And neither would you, I dare say.
813
00:55:19,833 --> 00:55:24,037
In fact .. I'm sure you'd like the feel
of some around your swan-like neck.
814
00:55:26,610 --> 00:55:28,629
A pretty pink ear like
that calls for diamonds.
815
00:55:29,014 --> 00:55:31,473
A wandering hand like yours
calls for a slap in the face.
816
00:55:31,821 --> 00:55:33,675
It's wicked to slap a
man's face on a Sunday.
817
00:55:33,981 --> 00:55:35,745
The better the day, the better the deed.
818
00:55:36,179 --> 00:55:37,595
That leaves my conscience clear.
819
00:55:42,243 --> 00:55:43,680
I'll scream.
820
00:55:45,098 --> 00:55:46,140
What's that?
821
00:55:52,703 --> 00:55:55,550
What do you think I'm made of?
- Sugar and spice.
822
00:55:56,874 --> 00:55:58,131
And everything nice.
823
00:56:01,849 --> 00:56:03,164
Blimey, you're strong.
824
00:56:06,001 --> 00:56:07,586
It's a wig. Whose is it?
825
00:56:08,854 --> 00:56:10,150
It is Miss Fiske's.
826
00:56:10,705 --> 00:56:12,391
Oh, it's her best one.
827
00:56:13,295 --> 00:56:15,239
She's as bald as a coot.
- Ah.
828
00:56:15,455 --> 00:56:17,042
A wonder she didn't take it with her.
829
00:56:18,291 --> 00:56:19,267
Hello.
830
00:56:19,605 --> 00:56:22,290
Ah, she left a lot of
her fancy dresses too.
831
00:56:23,063 --> 00:56:24,930
Perhaps she'll buy some
new ones up in London?
832
00:56:25,392 --> 00:56:26,938
These are new. Most of them.
833
00:56:27,918 --> 00:56:30,059
You'd better put that back up.
- Alright.
834
00:56:30,285 --> 00:56:31,783
Get up on this chair.
835
00:56:39,798 --> 00:56:41,554
You know, it <i>is</i> odd
she only took one wig.
836
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:45,357
On a trip, anything might happen.
A fire or a gust of wind.
837
00:56:45,751 --> 00:56:46,409
Oh.
838
00:56:47,720 --> 00:56:49,195
Here's Emily coming up the path.
839
00:56:50,109 --> 00:56:51,329
You'd better be off.
840
00:56:57,184 --> 00:56:58,794
Hello my old cup of tea.
841
00:57:00,310 --> 00:57:02,634
What are you doing with those
bull-rushes? Looking for Moses?
842
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,371
You're making fun of me .. naughty boy.
843
00:57:28,649 --> 00:57:31,405
Hello Ducky .. I'm glad you're
back before the others.
844
00:57:31,964 --> 00:57:34,668
It isn't often I have the chance of
a tête-à-tête with the family's fairest.
845
00:57:34,884 --> 00:57:36,672
You're never serious
about anything, Albert.
846
00:57:36,888 --> 00:57:38,846
I was never more serious in my life.
847
00:57:40,212 --> 00:57:42,518
The storm did an enormous
amount of damage.
848
00:57:42,869 --> 00:57:45,494
Roads into Rochester and Gravesend
were completely flooded.
849
00:57:46,258 --> 00:57:48,836
The Postman told me.
- I hope they stay that way.
850
00:57:50,098 --> 00:57:51,558
Allow me, Empress.
851
00:57:52,362 --> 00:57:54,681
There's only one letter today.
It's for Miss Fiske.
852
00:57:55,047 --> 00:57:55,755
Is it?
853
00:58:01,577 --> 00:58:03,226
It's a cosy nest you got here.
854
00:58:03,605 --> 00:58:05,661
What's will happen to you
when Miss Fiske gets back?
855
00:58:05,896 --> 00:58:07,596
Will she let you stay on, do you think?
856
00:58:11,455 --> 00:58:12,701
She isn't coming back.
857
00:58:13,532 --> 00:58:14,548
Why not?
858
00:58:15,342 --> 00:58:16,575
Ellen's bought the house.
859
00:58:19,252 --> 00:58:19,924
Go on.
860
00:58:20,140 --> 00:58:21,241
Yes. It's quite true.
861
00:58:22,049 --> 00:58:23,150
It's a secret though.
862
00:58:23,366 --> 00:58:26,001
Ellen made us swear on the bible
that we wouldn't tell anyone.
863
00:58:26,218 --> 00:58:28,300
But you are one of the family.
So it's alright.
864
00:58:29,873 --> 00:58:31,661
Why should she want
to keep it a secret, eh?
865
00:58:31,877 --> 00:58:33,636
I don't know.
It was done in a great hurry.
866
00:58:33,873 --> 00:58:35,534
Louisa and I were sent off to Rochester.
867
00:58:35,750 --> 00:58:38,669
Then when we came back that night,
Miss Fiske was gone and it was all over.
868
00:58:40,902 --> 00:58:42,862
You won't tell Ellen I told
you, will you, Albert?
869
00:58:43,234 --> 00:58:43,975
No.
870
00:58:45,212 --> 00:58:47,000
We'll make that our
little secret, shall we?
871
00:58:47,335 --> 00:58:48,064
Alright.
872
00:58:50,086 --> 00:58:52,513
It will be rather fun.
Having a secret from Ellen.
873
00:58:53,143 --> 00:58:55,628
She thinks she's the clever one.
But she isn't.
874
00:58:57,109 --> 00:58:57,924
Not always.
875
00:58:59,816 --> 00:59:00,402
No.
876
00:59:01,225 --> 00:59:02,040
Not always.
877
00:59:17,517 --> 00:59:19,294
Albert.
- What?
878
00:59:25,153 --> 00:59:26,418
Good morning.
879
00:59:28,974 --> 00:59:30,034
May we come in?
880
00:59:30,250 --> 00:59:32,261
Who's that?
- A couple of nuns from The Priory.
881
00:59:33,048 --> 00:59:36,099
You talk to them, Albert.
I've got to tidy up the orchard.
882
00:59:47,032 --> 00:59:51,087
Oh .. I didn't know there was
a young man staying here.
883
00:59:51,632 --> 00:59:52,844
Is Miss Ellen about?
884
00:59:53,060 --> 00:59:55,956
Sorry. She's gone over to the church at
Cawley. I'm her nephew, can I help?
885
00:59:56,487 --> 01:00:00,357
We came to return this. She lent us
a little oil last night. We ran short.
886
01:00:00,792 --> 01:00:02,060
Thanks.
- Yes, and this.
887
01:00:02,634 --> 01:00:04,846
The rent for the little field.
Your aunt will understand.
888
01:00:05,106 --> 01:00:06,179
I'll give it to her.
889
01:00:06,395 --> 01:00:08,788
We are so looking forward
to Miss Fiske's return.
890
01:00:09,371 --> 01:00:10,864
She's a dear friend of ours.
891
01:00:11,239 --> 01:00:14,646
Oh .. have you .. heard from her lately?
892
01:00:15,031 --> 01:00:16,218
No, not a word.
893
01:00:16,752 --> 01:00:19,335
I think the Reverend Mother is
a trifle hurt she hasn't written.
894
01:00:19,678 --> 01:00:22,281
In fact, she didn't even tell
us she was going away.
895
01:00:22,777 --> 01:00:25,295
Not very chummy, was it.
- No, it wasn't.
896
01:00:26,837 --> 01:00:28,232
Good morning.
- Good morning.
897
01:01:05,242 --> 01:01:07,671
Now what are you up to?
- Fetch me a knife, Ducky.
898
01:01:15,499 --> 01:01:17,170
What's that?
- A letter for Miss Fiske.
899
01:01:17,511 --> 01:01:19,943
You're not going to open it?
- No. Wouldn't think of it.
900
01:01:24,242 --> 01:01:25,431
What's it say?
901
01:01:26,201 --> 01:01:28,502
'Dear Madam.
Regarding your instructions ..'
902
01:01:28,718 --> 01:01:31,591
'To forward the amount of the
enclosed cheque in 5-pound notes'.
903
01:01:32,239 --> 01:01:36,889
'Your signature appears to differ from
that with which we are acquainted'.
904
01:01:38,793 --> 01:01:41,444
'We should be obliged if you
could kindly confirm same ..'
905
01:01:41,845 --> 01:01:44,354
'By signing it afresh.
In your usual manner'.
906
01:01:48,582 --> 01:01:49,634
Fifty pounds.
907
01:01:50,633 --> 01:01:51,591
Notice the date.
908
01:01:52,218 --> 01:01:53,703
'October 14th'.
909
01:01:54,794 --> 01:01:57,258
That's three days ago.
She's been gone longer than that.
910
01:01:57,803 --> 01:01:59,484
Since the beginning of September.
911
01:02:00,292 --> 01:02:02,329
She probably made it
out from wherever she is.
912
01:02:02,949 --> 01:02:04,986
Yes, she could have. Hey, wait a minute.
913
01:02:06,442 --> 01:02:08,765
In that case, why did they
send the reply to her here?
914
01:02:10,183 --> 01:02:11,666
You see who it's made payable to?
915
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:14,680
Ellen Creed.
916
01:02:15,506 --> 01:02:17,785
What of it? I expect it's
the housekeeping money.
917
01:02:18,380 --> 01:02:21,488
Maybe. Where's the glue-pot?
- Over there.
918
01:02:21,704 --> 01:02:23,015
Get it for me.
919
01:02:28,096 --> 01:02:30,146
Dip your finger in it.
- I should say not.
920
01:02:30,516 --> 01:02:31,817
I've had no hand in this.
921
01:02:33,119 --> 01:02:33,963
Haven't you?
922
01:02:35,383 --> 01:02:37,379
You are a filthy pig.
- Go on. Seal it up.
923
01:02:38,971 --> 01:02:39,930
Go on.
924
01:02:44,402 --> 01:02:46,276
Don't forget.
You're in this as deep as me now.
925
01:02:46,550 --> 01:02:48,124
I wish you'd never come here.
926
01:02:48,888 --> 01:02:51,488
I don't know what comes over
me when you're around.
927
01:02:52,752 --> 01:02:54,483
You won't give me away
to Ellen, will you?
928
01:02:54,699 --> 01:02:56,230
I won't if you keep your mouth shut.
929
01:03:03,357 --> 01:03:06,241
Here come the performing seals.
Not a word, mind you.
930
01:03:17,604 --> 01:03:18,397
Albert.
931
01:03:18,622 --> 01:03:20,252
Hello, aunts .. had a nice pray?
932
01:03:20,492 --> 01:03:22,114
You should have been at church, Albert.
933
01:03:22,576 --> 01:03:24,609
The minister told us all about Hell.
934
01:03:25,016 --> 01:03:27,336
You'd have enjoyed the
bit about the lost souls ..
935
01:03:27,682 --> 01:03:29,251
Sizzling in the bottomless pit.
936
01:03:29,554 --> 01:03:31,970
Would I now? Sounds frightening.
937
01:03:32,540 --> 01:03:34,859
Ellen .. where is Hell?
938
01:03:37,451 --> 01:03:39,443
Hell is like the Kingdom of Heaven.
939
01:03:41,672 --> 01:03:42,552
It is within.
940
01:03:43,037 --> 01:03:43,995
That reminds me.
941
01:03:44,310 --> 01:03:45,926
One of your religious friends was here.
942
01:03:46,258 --> 01:03:49,076
She left you this.
It's the rent for some field or other.
943
01:03:50,580 --> 01:03:52,568
She didn't see you, did she?
- I couldn't avoid it.
944
01:03:52,784 --> 01:03:54,258
That was Sister Theresa.
945
01:03:55,171 --> 01:03:59,138
She's Miss Fiske's friend. She doesn't
like us any more than Miss Fiske did.
946
01:03:59,974 --> 01:04:01,311
Didn't Miss Fiske like you?
947
01:04:01,981 --> 01:04:03,098
She was horrid to us.
948
01:04:03,344 --> 01:04:05,103
Louisa, run upstairs
and change your dress.
949
01:04:05,417 --> 01:04:07,148
You can't sit around
in your best all day.
950
01:04:07,445 --> 01:04:08,575
No. I shan't, shall I.
951
01:04:09,221 --> 01:04:10,348
No. Of course not.
952
01:04:12,538 --> 01:04:13,819
Albert.
- Huh?
953
01:04:14,096 --> 01:04:16,776
I don't want you to mention Miss Fiske
again in front of my sisters.
954
01:04:17,336 --> 01:04:18,819
They quarrelled with her.
955
01:04:19,382 --> 01:04:21,392
And it upsets them very
much to talk about her.
956
01:04:22,012 --> 01:04:23,364
Sorry. Nobody told me.
957
01:04:24,555 --> 01:04:26,055
What did you quarrel about?
958
01:04:26,666 --> 01:04:28,328
I didn't say I quarrelled with her.
959
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,220
Would she by any chance be the friend
you lit those candles for last night?
960
01:04:37,276 --> 01:04:38,187
Yes.
961
01:04:39,145 --> 01:04:40,469
When did she die?
962
01:04:42,779 --> 01:04:43,699
Die?
963
01:04:44,779 --> 01:04:46,516
Who said anything about her being dead?
964
01:04:47,042 --> 01:04:50,858
I just assumed she was.
You don't light candles for the living.
965
01:04:51,493 --> 01:04:53,352
Do you?
- I don't know.
966
01:04:54,178 --> 01:04:55,831
I just thought they stood for prayer.
967
01:04:56,685 --> 01:04:58,451
I must find Emily.
- By the way.
968
01:04:58,779 --> 01:05:00,614
The postman gave her
a letter for Miss Fiske.
969
01:05:00,911 --> 01:05:02,450
From her bank, I believe.
970
01:05:03,202 --> 01:05:04,375
Give it to me.
971
01:05:14,895 --> 01:05:16,951
I'm managing all her
affairs while she's away.
972
01:05:29,109 --> 01:05:31,579
Anything important?
- Yes, rather.
973
01:05:32,625 --> 01:05:34,512
I must get an answer
in the post immediately.
974
01:05:39,075 --> 01:05:40,763
A stylish looking piano you've got here.
975
01:05:41,029 --> 01:05:43,016
Don't distract me, Albert.
I must concentrate.
976
01:05:43,301 --> 01:05:45,026
I'm sorry. Don't mind me, auntie.
977
01:05:59,907 --> 01:06:01,335
I say, you are up to date.
978
01:06:02,020 --> 01:06:04,648
I didn't expect to find a copy of
The Mikado way out here on the marshes.
979
01:06:10,467 --> 01:06:12,747
[ Whistling song: Tit-Willow ]
980
01:06:20,224 --> 01:06:21,491
Don't do that.
981
01:06:22,064 --> 01:06:24,252
I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to distract you.
982
01:06:25,378 --> 01:06:27,960
It's just I happen to dislike that
particular tune. That's all.
983
01:06:28,261 --> 01:06:29,932
It's a bit on the morbid side.
984
01:06:35,775 --> 01:06:37,740
Miss Ellen, how soon
will you want dinner?
985
01:06:38,044 --> 01:06:39,402
In a quarter of an hour, Lucy.
986
01:06:39,624 --> 01:06:41,383
I'll just post this
letter at the crossing.
987
01:06:41,801 --> 01:06:42,788
Let me go, Ellen.
988
01:06:43,019 --> 01:06:44,372
I can do with a sniff of air.
989
01:06:44,588 --> 01:06:46,710
No thank you.
I prefer to attend to this myself.
990
01:07:20,938 --> 01:07:22,723
What are you up to now?
991
01:07:23,124 --> 01:07:24,998
She just wrote a reply to
the letter we opened.
992
01:07:25,426 --> 01:07:27,560
I thought it would be interesting
to see what she says.
993
01:07:28,703 --> 01:07:29,518
'Dear sir'.
994
01:07:30,198 --> 01:07:30,956
'Cheque'.
995
01:07:31,301 --> 01:07:32,168
Something.
996
01:07:32,562 --> 01:07:33,406
'Incorrect'.
997
01:07:34,231 --> 01:07:35,018
Something.
998
01:07:35,529 --> 01:07:36,258
'Owing'.
999
01:07:36,987 --> 01:07:38,671
Something, something.
1000
01:07:39,444 --> 01:07:40,350
'Wrist'.
1001
01:07:41,875 --> 01:07:43,870
What does that word
look like to you? See.
1002
01:07:44,636 --> 01:07:47,233
'S .. p .. r ..'
1003
01:07:47,779 --> 01:07:48,718
S .. p .. r.
1004
01:07:49,226 --> 01:07:50,685
'Sprained'. That's it.
1005
01:07:51,092 --> 01:07:52,394
'Owing to a sprained wrist'.
1006
01:07:53,878 --> 01:07:54,922
Something. 'Yours'.
1007
01:07:55,374 --> 01:07:56,225
'Leonora'.
1008
01:07:57,357 --> 01:07:58,758
'Leonora Fiske'.
1009
01:08:01,625 --> 01:08:03,040
She signed it 'Leonora Fiske'.
1010
01:08:03,525 --> 01:08:04,684
What's it mean, Albert?
1011
01:08:05,493 --> 01:08:06,665
What do you think?
1012
01:08:07,266 --> 01:08:09,506
It looks as if she's pretending
to be Miss Fiske.
1013
01:08:10,308 --> 01:08:12,239
Getting money on the strength of it.
- Brilliant.
1014
01:08:12,455 --> 01:08:13,845
If that's true, she's a thief.
1015
01:08:14,342 --> 01:08:15,535
Like you.
- Shut up.
1016
01:08:18,319 --> 01:08:20,417
What will happen when
Miss Fiske comes back?
1017
01:08:23,624 --> 01:08:25,061
Suppose she isn't coming back?
1018
01:08:26,187 --> 01:08:29,149
Suppose she's died somewhere.
And Ellen is the only one who knows.
1019
01:08:29,485 --> 01:08:31,229
You can't die and only
one person know it.
1020
01:08:31,445 --> 01:08:32,744
Can't you? I'm not so sure.
1021
01:08:34,460 --> 01:08:35,600
One thing I do know.
1022
01:08:35,906 --> 01:08:38,896
She'd never risk it unless she knew
Miss Fiske was out of the way for good.
1023
01:08:39,955 --> 01:08:43,091
Alright .. assume she's dead.
Aunt Ellen is having the funds.
1024
01:08:43,645 --> 01:08:45,721
It might be years before
anybody would find out.
1025
01:08:48,011 --> 01:08:49,815
Why should she reap all the benefit?
1026
01:08:55,455 --> 01:08:57,100
There may be some pickings in it for us.
1027
01:08:57,481 --> 01:08:59,841
Would you like to see a bit of the
world? Have some fun with me?
1028
01:09:00,057 --> 01:09:01,907
You'd tempt Old Nick
himself, wouldn't you?
1029
01:09:02,123 --> 01:09:03,540
You've got to help me get proof.
1030
01:09:03,775 --> 01:09:05,763
I don't want to do anything
mean or underhanded.
1031
01:09:06,113 --> 01:09:09,069
Would I ask you to? Use your eyes
and keep your ears open. That's all.
1032
01:09:09,863 --> 01:09:10,821
What do you say?
1033
01:09:11,696 --> 01:09:12,720
I don't know.
1034
01:09:12,936 --> 01:09:14,752
Perhaps this will help
you make up your mind.
1035
01:09:20,189 --> 01:09:22,321
Well?
- I'll help you, Albert.
1036
01:09:23,541 --> 01:09:25,685
Here she comes. Look sharp now.
Back to the kitchen.
1037
01:10:47,655 --> 01:10:48,984
She's coming.
1038
01:10:49,341 --> 01:10:51,214
Blimey. You almost made
me frightened myself.
1039
01:10:51,698 --> 01:10:53,567
Hurry up, hurry up.
- Alright. Shut up.
1040
01:10:57,097 --> 01:10:59,119
Hey, go in the kitchen
and make some tea.
1041
01:11:00,769 --> 01:11:03,053
Take this with you. Go on, hurry.
1042
01:11:08,868 --> 01:11:10,408
Goodnight, Bates.
- Night, ma'am.
1043
01:11:10,665 --> 01:11:12,424
Don't forget.
Ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
1044
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:13,710
Very good, ma'am.
1045
01:11:24,420 --> 01:11:25,960
Did you have a successful trip?
1046
01:11:29,358 --> 01:11:30,324
Yes.
1047
01:11:31,452 --> 01:11:32,615
I have your ticket.
1048
01:11:33,462 --> 01:11:35,112
You leave tomorrow.
1049
01:11:36,730 --> 01:11:37,873
Do I?
1050
01:11:38,909 --> 01:11:41,037
Where are my sisters?
- I sent them off to bed.
1051
01:11:41,594 --> 01:11:44,567
They were getting a little out of hand.
- I dare say it wasn't their fault.
1052
01:11:45,180 --> 01:11:46,694
Lucy is making some hot tea.
1053
01:11:47,190 --> 01:11:48,628
We thought you might be cold.
1054
01:11:49,171 --> 01:11:51,500
I'll be down again .. as soon as
I've said goodnight to them.
1055
01:12:05,306 --> 01:12:06,436
Is everything alright?
1056
01:12:06,652 --> 01:12:09,253
No it's not. She's packing me off
tomorrow. We've got to move fast.
1057
01:12:10,013 --> 01:12:14,109
You haven't changed your mind, have you?
- I couldn't refuse you anything .. now.
1058
01:12:17,711 --> 01:12:20,732
We thought you'd never come,
Ellen .. I was frightened.
1059
01:12:21,412 --> 01:12:22,227
Frightened?
1060
01:12:22,443 --> 01:12:24,128
Yes, they were such funny noises.
1061
01:12:24,896 --> 01:12:26,049
It was only the rats.
1062
01:12:27,710 --> 01:12:29,343
What have you been doing all evening?
1063
01:12:29,794 --> 01:12:33,166
We played a game of cribbage.
Of course, Albert cheated.
1064
01:12:33,475 --> 01:12:35,420
But it was rather fun
watching him cheat.
1065
01:12:36,156 --> 01:12:38,001
He hasn't said anything
about Miss Fiske?
1066
01:12:38,432 --> 01:12:39,681
No.
- Miss Fiske?
1067
01:12:41,073 --> 01:12:41,974
Why should he?
1068
01:12:42,322 --> 01:12:44,819
And neither of you spoke to him
about my buying the house?
1069
01:12:45,173 --> 01:12:46,021
No, Ellen.
1070
01:12:46,441 --> 01:12:47,399
Do you remember?
1071
01:12:47,678 --> 01:12:49,855
You made us swear on
the bible we wouldn't.
1072
01:12:53,352 --> 01:12:55,327
I think you'd better go to
sleep now, both of you.
1073
01:12:55,778 --> 01:12:58,491
I'm going downstairs to have a
hot cup of tea before I go to bed.
1074
01:13:11,633 --> 01:13:14,151
Albert, do you think ..?
- Pour the tea, Lucy.
1075
01:13:21,955 --> 01:13:24,408
Thank you Lucy. You may go to bed now.
- Yes, Miss Ellen.
1076
01:13:24,946 --> 01:13:26,345
Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
1077
01:13:36,366 --> 01:13:37,639
Auntie, where is your cane?
1078
01:13:38,312 --> 01:13:40,981
You look like you'd like to take down
my breeches and give me a dozen.
1079
01:13:42,223 --> 01:13:45,038
There's a boat sailing for Canada
on Friday. You sail with it.
1080
01:13:46,295 --> 01:13:47,826
I'm not sure I want to go to Canada.
1081
01:13:48,849 --> 01:13:49,693
Yet a while.
1082
01:13:50,173 --> 01:13:51,779
You haven't much choice, have you?
1083
01:13:52,201 --> 01:13:54,201
I don't know. I'm getting
quite fond of this place.
1084
01:13:54,463 --> 01:13:57,278
The air suits me .. I'm very
happy here for the time being.
1085
01:13:57,793 --> 01:13:59,765
I'm not happy having you here.
- Why?
1086
01:14:01,027 --> 01:14:03,956
It isn't safe since Sister Theresa
knows you're staying here with us.
1087
01:14:04,613 --> 01:14:07,129
The wrong sort of talk would bring
the police around here in no time.
1088
01:14:07,692 --> 01:14:09,826
I don't propose to risk a
scandal on your account.
1089
01:14:10,979 --> 01:14:12,484
There's more to it than that.
1090
01:14:13,552 --> 01:14:14,914
Lucy is apt to talk.
1091
01:14:15,787 --> 01:14:17,383
I don't think we need worry about her.
1092
01:14:18,557 --> 01:14:20,578
No. You've made sure of that.
1093
01:14:21,269 --> 01:14:24,026
Whatever do you mean by that?
- You know what, you cheap little ..
1094
01:14:24,454 --> 01:14:26,419
Stop it Ellen.
You'll make me lose my temper.
1095
01:14:26,784 --> 01:14:27,717
Your temper?
1096
01:14:27,975 --> 01:14:30,803
You leave first thing in the morning.
That's the end of you and your temper.
1097
01:14:31,019 --> 01:14:32,487
I shouldn't try to bluff me.
1098
01:14:32,885 --> 01:14:36,020
I'm not bluffing you. I order you.
- If I don't choose to be ordered?
1099
01:14:36,755 --> 01:14:39,395
I can't throw you out physically.
But I can send for the police.
1100
01:14:39,611 --> 01:14:40,765
And have your scandal?
1101
01:14:41,425 --> 01:14:43,625
Really, you're being very
inconsistent now, auntie dear.
1102
01:14:47,747 --> 01:14:49,119
You won't send for the police.
1103
01:14:50,349 --> 01:14:51,841
Why are you so sure?
1104
01:14:52,573 --> 01:14:53,992
Because you've another reason.
1105
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:56,914
A more important reason for
not wanting the police here.
1106
01:14:57,546 --> 01:14:59,799
For wanting me out of this
house as quickly as possible.
1107
01:15:01,265 --> 01:15:02,936
As a matter of fact, you are right.
1108
01:15:03,339 --> 01:15:04,889
Now we get down to brass tacks.
1109
01:15:09,192 --> 01:15:11,134
Did it concern Miss Fiske by any chance?
1110
01:15:12,843 --> 01:15:14,271
It would and it does.
1111
01:15:15,303 --> 01:15:18,769
I met her in town today.
She's coming back.
1112
01:15:21,002 --> 01:15:24,068
She's coming back?
- And why shouldn't she?
1113
01:15:25,444 --> 01:15:27,138
I thought she'd gone for good.
1114
01:15:27,641 --> 01:15:29,345
How utterly absurd of you, Albert.
1115
01:15:29,950 --> 01:15:32,232
There has never been any
question of her not coming back.
1116
01:15:33,753 --> 01:15:35,532
Why didn't you say
so in the first place?
1117
01:15:35,748 --> 01:15:37,942
You played the fool so much
with Louisa and Emily.
1118
01:15:39,190 --> 01:15:40,693
I was afraid you'd blurt it out.
1119
01:15:42,481 --> 01:15:44,355
As it is, I'll have to
break it to them gently.
1120
01:15:44,571 --> 01:15:46,477
Because it means
they will have to go too.
1121
01:15:51,855 --> 01:15:53,989
My little country holiday has
obviously come to an end.
1122
01:15:54,843 --> 01:15:56,734
I don't know what the
blazes I'll do in Canada.
1123
01:15:56,950 --> 01:15:59,119
I suppose one can starve there
as well as anywhere else.
1124
01:15:59,677 --> 01:16:00,790
You'll get on.
1125
01:16:01,757 --> 01:16:03,762
I'll give you a little
something to start off with.
1126
01:16:04,659 --> 01:16:05,908
For your mother's sake.
1127
01:16:06,405 --> 01:16:08,376
I suppose I should extend
my most humble thanks.
1128
01:16:08,668 --> 01:16:10,540
No. That from you would be too much.
1129
01:16:11,034 --> 01:16:13,664
If that's all we have to say to each
other, I may as well get up to bed.
1130
01:16:32,163 --> 01:16:34,237
A good night's sleep wouldn't
do you any harm, either.
1131
01:16:35,093 --> 01:16:36,483
You look a bit played out.
1132
01:16:42,139 --> 01:16:43,698
I must lock up first.
1133
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,157
Will I be seeing you in the
morning before I leave?
1134
01:16:49,557 --> 01:16:50,486
Yes.
1135
01:16:59,735 --> 01:17:01,070
I forgot to tell you, auntie.
1136
01:17:02,138 --> 01:17:03,848
I had a funny dream last night.
1137
01:17:05,052 --> 01:17:05,796
Did you?
1138
01:17:08,636 --> 01:17:10,288
I dreamt Miss Fiske was dead.
1139
01:17:17,761 --> 01:17:20,112
Goodnight, auntie.
- Goodnight, Albert.
1140
01:18:52,767 --> 01:18:54,268
Miss Fiske ..
1141
01:19:06,554 --> 01:19:07,625
Albert.
1142
01:19:08,620 --> 01:19:09,497
Albert!
1143
01:19:48,544 --> 01:19:49,617
Good morning, Bates.
1144
01:19:49,833 --> 01:19:52,997
Miss Creed ordered me. It's about the
train, but she didn't say which one.
1145
01:19:53,823 --> 01:19:54,626
Bates.
1146
01:19:55,260 --> 01:19:56,975
Cancel it. Miss Creed's
not feeling well.
1147
01:19:57,382 --> 01:19:59,134
Nothing serious I hope, sir?
1148
01:19:59,716 --> 01:20:00,845
No. Nothing serious.
1149
01:20:01,576 --> 01:20:03,714
In that case, I'd better hop along.
1150
01:20:11,215 --> 01:20:13,479
She did look ill when I
took in her early tea.
1151
01:20:13,844 --> 01:20:15,160
I wish we hadn't done it.
1152
01:20:15,376 --> 01:20:17,754
Pull yourself together.
You'll ruin everything. Go on upstairs.
1153
01:20:18,116 --> 01:20:20,071
She might have died.
- Shut up.
1154
01:20:22,419 --> 01:20:24,304
Well she didn't. And we
proved what we wanted.
1155
01:20:24,605 --> 01:20:27,046
Miss Fiske is dead and she knows it.
- I wonder when she died.
1156
01:20:27,262 --> 01:20:30,193
One more go, and I'll tell you when
and how, she died. Now, go on upstairs.
1157
01:20:32,234 --> 01:20:33,778
What did Bates want, Albert?
1158
01:20:34,469 --> 01:20:37,339
He brought the news from the outside
world. It will tickle you to death.
1159
01:20:37,669 --> 01:20:39,500
Wigs and whiskers are
coming back in again.
1160
01:20:39,795 --> 01:20:41,748
I don't think this is a
time for joking, Albert.
1161
01:20:42,024 --> 01:20:43,268
With Ellen the way she is.
1162
01:20:43,484 --> 01:20:45,673
You take this thing too seriously,
my old brussels sprout.
1163
01:20:45,906 --> 01:20:48,296
She was walking in her sleep
and had a nightmare. That's all.
1164
01:20:48,857 --> 01:20:50,738
It wasn't a nightmare, Albert.
1165
01:20:52,979 --> 01:20:56,425
Oh .. what was it then?
- She says she saw a ghost.
1166
01:20:58,326 --> 01:21:00,241
In that case, lay another
place for breakfast.
1167
01:21:01,837 --> 01:21:04,083
Do you really think
it was a ghost, Emily?
1168
01:21:04,814 --> 01:21:08,147
If it were only a nightmare,
we wouldn't have heard it too.
1169
01:21:09,095 --> 01:21:12,379
Heard what?
- The music. Miss Fiske's music.
1170
01:21:13,216 --> 01:21:14,174
You know, Emily.
1171
01:21:14,512 --> 01:21:16,786
I'm sometimes afraid Miss Fiske
will get the better of Ellen.
1172
01:21:17,358 --> 01:21:20,210
I sometimes think she wants
to come back and turn us out.
1173
01:21:20,570 --> 01:21:23,299
I think Miss Fiske is here .. now.
1174
01:21:24,166 --> 01:21:27,506
Well .. what are you
two whispering about?
1175
01:21:28,354 --> 01:21:30,821
Hadn't you better go for your walk now?
- Yes, Ellen.
1176
01:21:31,124 --> 01:21:32,605
Anything you say, Ellen.
1177
01:21:46,684 --> 01:21:48,838
Do you think you're
strong enough to be up?
1178
01:21:49,303 --> 01:21:52,031
Yes, dear. I'm quite alright now.
- Hadn't you better have a doctor?
1179
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,336
No. A doctor couldn't do any good.
1180
01:22:01,118 --> 01:22:03,274
Why are you two standing
there like a couple of owls?
1181
01:22:04,315 --> 01:22:05,674
Emily has been frightening me.
1182
01:22:05,890 --> 01:22:07,724
You've been imagining
things, both of you.
1183
01:22:07,940 --> 01:22:09,719
Now, run along for your walk.
1184
01:22:10,194 --> 01:22:12,573
Whatever you say, Ellen. You know best.
1185
01:22:47,533 --> 01:22:48,748
Good morning, aunt Ellen.
1186
01:22:52,429 --> 01:22:53,848
We didn't expect you down today.
1187
01:22:55,144 --> 01:22:56,748
Why aren't you ready yet?
1188
01:22:57,416 --> 01:22:58,898
Bates will be here at any moment.
1189
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:01,876
Bates has been here and
gone .. I sent him away.
1190
01:23:02,599 --> 01:23:04,832
What do you mean by interfering
with my arrangements?
1191
01:23:05,087 --> 01:23:07,308
I didn't like to go and leave
you not feeling well.
1192
01:23:07,829 --> 01:23:09,585
I'm quite recovered now, thank you.
1193
01:23:10,535 --> 01:23:12,151
It was a queer turn you had last night.
1194
01:23:13,012 --> 01:23:13,913
What happened?
1195
01:23:16,155 --> 01:23:17,012
Nothing.
1196
01:23:17,529 --> 01:23:19,792
You know, you should really do
something about your nerves.
1197
01:23:20,064 --> 01:23:22,710
This isn't the first time you've walked
in your sleep, according to Emily.
1198
01:23:23,866 --> 01:23:24,996
What's Emily told you?
1199
01:23:25,212 --> 01:23:26,370
Just the usual chatter.
1200
01:23:27,566 --> 01:23:30,648
They do say that people who walk in
their sleep have a guilty conscience.
1201
01:23:32,807 --> 01:23:34,722
What's behind that remark, Albert?
1202
01:23:35,877 --> 01:23:36,788
Nothing.
1203
01:23:56,997 --> 01:23:58,016
You know.
1204
01:23:58,692 --> 01:23:59,725
Uhuh.
1205
01:24:07,734 --> 01:24:09,783
Then it was you last night?
- Yes.
1206
01:24:10,635 --> 01:24:12,786
Me and Lucy.
- She knows too?
1207
01:24:13,435 --> 01:24:16,579
Not what I know. That's something you
and I are going to keep to ourselves.
1208
01:24:17,454 --> 01:24:19,302
Provided of course, you treat me right.
1209
01:24:21,351 --> 01:24:22,852
What are you going to do?
1210
01:24:24,955 --> 01:24:26,342
As I said, I'm very happy here.
1211
01:24:26,974 --> 01:24:29,880
I think with your financial help I'll
be able to adjust things at the bank.
1212
01:24:30,486 --> 01:24:33,462
And we can all settle down in peace.
A contented little family.
1213
01:24:38,699 --> 01:24:40,639
You mean, you propose
to go on living here?
1214
01:24:41,042 --> 01:24:42,511
With me?
- Why not?
1215
01:24:43,380 --> 01:24:45,003
You'd never be quite sure, would you?
1216
01:24:45,991 --> 01:24:47,704
You might not enjoy your meals.
1217
01:24:51,328 --> 01:24:53,741
You wouldn't dare .. a second time.
1218
01:24:54,750 --> 01:24:57,031
It takes a lot of courage to
kill for the first time, Albert.
1219
01:24:57,830 --> 01:25:00,317
Once you've sold your soul to
the Devil it becomes easier.
1220
01:25:01,558 --> 01:25:02,675
Much easier.
1221
01:25:03,887 --> 01:25:07,713
Alright .. give me £500 and I'll clear
out for good. And keep my mouth shut.
1222
01:25:07,933 --> 01:25:10,215
I'm not afraid of you, Albert.
And your shabby little tricks.
1223
01:25:10,666 --> 01:25:13,323
In the middle of the night, you may
fancy yourself cutting quite a figure.
1224
01:25:13,980 --> 01:25:15,595
It's broad daylight now.
1225
01:25:16,055 --> 01:25:17,426
[ Door knocks ]
1226
01:25:22,761 --> 01:25:23,944
It's those nuns.
1227
01:25:24,482 --> 01:25:27,362
Get that out of sight.
And yourself with it.
1228
01:25:31,659 --> 01:25:33,002
[ Door knocks ]
1229
01:25:38,532 --> 01:25:41,311
Good day, Sisters.
- I must talk to you, right away.
1230
01:25:41,857 --> 01:25:43,121
Are you alone?
- Yes.
1231
01:25:43,889 --> 01:25:44,905
What's the matter?
1232
01:25:45,241 --> 01:25:48,898
It's really none of my business
and I shouldn't have come but ..
1233
01:25:49,781 --> 01:25:52,419
The police. They've been to the Priory.
- What about?
1234
01:25:52,973 --> 01:25:54,653
They're searching for a young man.
1235
01:25:55,095 --> 01:25:57,671
Who stole money from a
bank over Gravesend way.
1236
01:25:58,212 --> 01:26:01,295
And from the description,
I suspect it was your nephew.
1237
01:26:01,945 --> 01:26:05,639
I thought if he were told, he might
have a chance to do the right thing.
1238
01:26:06,213 --> 01:26:07,596
And give himself up.
1239
01:26:08,675 --> 01:26:10,261
It is your nephew?
- Yes.
1240
01:26:10,825 --> 01:26:14,130
But they mustn't search here.
- They've gone to the Coyne farm first.
1241
01:26:14,553 --> 01:26:16,139
I heard one of them say so.
1242
01:26:17,097 --> 01:26:20,813
Oh Miss Ellen. Have I done
wrong in coming to warn you?
1243
01:26:22,345 --> 01:26:23,773
I don't know, Sister.
1244
01:26:24,730 --> 01:26:26,719
I had a brother rather like that.
1245
01:26:27,632 --> 01:26:28,938
He went wrong too.
1246
01:26:30,148 --> 01:26:33,618
People are so easily lost, aren't they?
1247
01:26:34,524 --> 01:26:35,575
Yes they are.
1248
01:26:36,083 --> 01:26:38,511
Poor girl. You have so many burdens.
1249
01:26:39,161 --> 01:26:40,320
If you refer to Albert.
1250
01:26:40,901 --> 01:26:42,388
He means absolutely nothing to me.
1251
01:26:43,143 --> 01:26:44,543
No-one does, for that matter.
1252
01:26:45,350 --> 01:26:46,843
Except Emily and Louisa.
1253
01:26:48,365 --> 01:26:53,486
If, any time, we can do anything to make
things easier for you or your sisters ..
1254
01:26:54,242 --> 01:26:56,078
Don't hesitate to turn to us.
1255
01:26:56,401 --> 01:26:58,181
That's very kind of you, Sister Theresa.
1256
01:26:58,843 --> 01:27:00,509
But you know, we're not of your faith.
1257
01:27:01,152 --> 01:27:04,017
In my Father's house are many mansions.
1258
01:27:10,324 --> 01:27:11,797
Blimey, I thought they'd never go.
1259
01:27:12,013 --> 01:27:13,715
Thanks for putting in
a good word for me.
1260
01:27:15,247 --> 01:27:16,837
The Coyne farm, is it?
1261
01:27:17,115 --> 01:27:19,332
That will give me a chance to
get behind them to the river.
1262
01:27:19,548 --> 01:27:21,951
Hurry. There's no time to lose.
- Yes, I'll get my clothes.
1263
01:27:36,482 --> 01:27:37,496
Lucy.
1264
01:27:38,970 --> 01:27:40,574
Why are you staring at me like that?
1265
01:27:47,259 --> 01:27:48,389
You've been listening.
1266
01:27:52,279 --> 01:27:53,011
Lucy.
1267
01:27:53,847 --> 01:27:55,077
Lucy, come back.
1268
01:27:56,673 --> 01:27:57,922
Lucy, come back.
1269
01:28:00,607 --> 01:28:01,729
What's up?
1270
01:28:04,948 --> 01:28:05,763
What is it?
1271
01:28:06,671 --> 01:28:07,700
Lucy's run off.
1272
01:28:08,543 --> 01:28:09,842
She was listening.
1273
01:28:11,899 --> 01:28:13,091
Turn me in, would she?
1274
01:28:13,589 --> 01:28:15,946
I've got to move fast.
Where's that money and boat ticket?
1275
01:28:21,783 --> 01:28:23,304
You mean, she heard all about that?
1276
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:28,225
Yes.
1277
01:28:29,117 --> 01:28:31,860
Hey .. you'd better
make a dash for it too.
1278
01:28:46,271 --> 01:28:47,740
Don't stand there mooning about.
1279
01:28:48,092 --> 01:28:49,909
Put your things on and
let's get out of here.
1280
01:28:52,816 --> 01:28:53,999
I'm not going.
1281
01:28:56,844 --> 01:28:58,130
Are you out of your mind?
1282
01:29:01,266 --> 01:29:03,883
You know what they'll do to you?
- You'd better hurry, Albert.
1283
01:29:04,966 --> 01:29:06,581
Well, if that don't beat the cards.
1284
01:29:08,780 --> 01:29:09,710
Well then ..
1285
01:29:11,785 --> 01:29:14,516
So long Ellen .. no hard feelings.
1286
01:29:49,217 --> 01:29:50,486
Ellen, it was so funny.
1287
01:29:50,849 --> 01:29:51,893
We just saw Albert.
1288
01:29:52,306 --> 01:29:53,808
He was playing 'tag' with some men.
1289
01:29:54,130 --> 01:29:56,069
He didn't win. They caught him.
1290
01:29:56,413 --> 01:29:57,556
He got quite annoyed.
1291
01:30:00,436 --> 01:30:02,922
Ellen, look.
We found a lot of jackdaw feathers.
1292
01:30:03,297 --> 01:30:05,846
We're going to tie them into
bundles and make little dusters.
1293
01:30:07,021 --> 01:30:08,492
Where are you going?
1294
01:30:10,172 --> 01:30:11,816
I'm going to Coyne farm.
1295
01:30:12,298 --> 01:30:14,852
There are some gentlemen there from
Gravesend and I want to see them.
1296
01:30:15,068 --> 01:30:16,974
You won't bring them
back here, will you Ellen.
1297
01:30:17,228 --> 01:30:19,134
It's so nice and peaceful by ourselves.
1298
01:30:20,007 --> 01:30:22,812
No, dear. I'll try not to
bring them back here.
1299
01:30:31,833 --> 01:30:35,636
You have been happy here, haven't you?
- We are happy here, aren't we Emily?
1300
01:30:35,852 --> 01:30:38,249
Yes .. it's much better than London.
1301
01:30:38,547 --> 01:30:40,897
It's so good of you to have
bought this house for us.
1302
01:30:41,242 --> 01:30:43,035
You have been clever, Ellen.
1303
01:31:06,500 --> 01:31:07,632
How long will you be?
1304
01:31:08,778 --> 01:31:10,031
I don't know, dear.
1305
01:31:10,562 --> 01:31:12,115
Maybe quite a time.
1306
01:31:13,116 --> 01:31:15,317
I think I shall go down
to The Priory tomorrow.
1307
01:31:15,914 --> 01:31:18,728
I should like to see the things the
Reverend Mother collected on the marsh.
1308
01:31:18,965 --> 01:31:20,045
I'll go with you.
1309
01:31:26,793 --> 01:31:29,371
Goodbye, Ellen .. don't worry about us.
1310
01:31:29,816 --> 01:31:31,460
We can look after ourselves.
1311
01:32:12,774 --> 01:32:13,678

Ellen Creed, a proud spinster fallen on hard times, has spent the past two years as housekeeper and companion to her old friend Leonora Fiske, a wealthy retiree who in her youth had been a chorus girl "of easy virtue". Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.
One day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.
Ellen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.
Ellen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.
Some nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.
Albert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a "sprained wrist." Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.
Albert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men. Ellen smiles, dons her coat and hat, tells the sisters she's going to see some men, kisses them goodbye and departs into the fog.

1
00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:15,105
Ellen.
2
00:02:16,275 --> 00:02:18,207
Yes, Miss Fiske.
- Is there any mail for me?
3
00:02:18,783 --> 00:02:20,449
No, just this one letter.
4
00:02:22,257 --> 00:02:24,580
No sign of Bates yet?
- Not yet.
5
00:02:25,271 --> 00:02:27,122
Oh dear, I do hope you
won't miss your train.
6
00:02:28,288 --> 00:02:29,130
I mustn't.
7
00:02:32,003 --> 00:02:34,632
Oh Lucy, hurry with that bag.
- Just coming, Miss.
8
00:02:39,861 --> 00:02:40,533
Ellen.
9
00:02:40,937 --> 00:02:42,986
That business I want you
to see about in London.
10
00:02:43,703 --> 00:02:45,281
This is for Mr Scott at the bank.
11
00:02:45,872 --> 00:02:47,797
It's about those Brazilian
bonds of mine.
12
00:02:48,116 --> 00:02:50,463
The way the market is this week,
I think they ought to be ..
13
00:02:51,108 --> 00:02:53,011
Get outside.
Keep your eyes open for Bates.
14
00:02:53,367 --> 00:02:54,154
Yes, Miss.
15
00:02:57,364 --> 00:02:59,365
And this address is
just off Berkeley Square.
16
00:02:59,637 --> 00:03:02,745
Go to the servant's entrance and
ask for Mr Blake. He's the butler.
17
00:03:02,990 --> 00:03:06,248
Say you've come from me with
a message for Lord Cardington.
18
00:03:06,501 --> 00:03:08,999
And will he give it to his
Lordship .. privately.
19
00:03:10,145 --> 00:03:11,726
Ellen, you aren't paying attention.
20
00:03:12,861 --> 00:03:14,130
But I am, Miss Fiske.
21
00:03:15,291 --> 00:03:16,862
What would be the best time to call?
22
00:03:18,183 --> 00:03:20,515
Harry always used to dine around eight.
23
00:03:21,648 --> 00:03:23,869
You call about half past seven.
- Yes, very well.
24
00:03:24,511 --> 00:03:25,441
You seem upset.
25
00:03:26,165 --> 00:03:27,082
Bad news?
26
00:03:28,607 --> 00:03:30,395
I don't want to bother
you with my troubles.
27
00:03:31,555 --> 00:03:33,845
It isn't a question of bothering
me with your troubles.
28
00:03:34,385 --> 00:03:36,059
You've become almost like my daughter.
29
00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:40,033
The letter is from my sisters,
Emily and Louisa.
30
00:03:40,723 --> 00:03:42,666
They're very unhappy back
in London without me.
31
00:03:43,371 --> 00:03:46,159
After all, I only saw them once since
I came to work for you, Miss Fiske.
32
00:03:46,627 --> 00:03:50,075
You'll see them today, won't you?
And everything will be alright, surely.
33
00:03:50,516 --> 00:03:51,365
Miss Fiske.
34
00:03:52,270 --> 00:03:53,239
Bates is coming.
35
00:03:53,677 --> 00:03:54,941
Tell him to hurry himself.
36
00:03:56,902 --> 00:04:00,083
My kind regards to your sisters, Ellen.
- Thank you, Miss Fiske.
37
00:04:05,516 --> 00:04:07,945
I've written them so much about you.
38
00:04:08,818 --> 00:04:10,041
How kind you've been.
39
00:04:10,952 --> 00:04:13,704
Stuff and nonsense.
I'm fond of you. You shouldn't ..
40
00:04:14,411 --> 00:04:16,314
Oh, a lovely juicy one.
41
00:04:18,629 --> 00:04:21,722
Perhaps you'll .. you might allow
them down for a little visit one day?
42
00:04:22,338 --> 00:04:24,174
Oh dear, look what the damp has done.
43
00:04:24,744 --> 00:04:27,291
Certainly, yes.
By all means. At any time.
44
00:04:27,661 --> 00:04:30,625
You know Lucy polished this
table all yesterday afternoon.
45
00:04:31,859 --> 00:04:34,142
Miss Fiske.
- Yes?
46
00:04:34,903 --> 00:04:36,139
It occurred to me that ..
47
00:04:36,694 --> 00:04:40,310
Since they've been so wretched lately,
and you may allow them to visit one day.
48
00:04:40,526 --> 00:04:42,677
Oh that? Yes, indeed. You tell them.
49
00:04:43,191 --> 00:04:45,776
Perhaps in the spring when
it's warm and sunny.
50
00:04:58,452 --> 00:05:01,788
Well .. what I was going to ask was ..
51
00:05:03,656 --> 00:05:06,019
Might I bring them back
with me this time? Now?
52
00:05:06,313 --> 00:05:08,044
Well now, Ellen.
- They won't be a bother.
53
00:05:08,260 --> 00:05:11,100
I promise Miss Fiske .. and it
will mean so much to them.
54
00:05:13,860 --> 00:05:17,056
Very well my dear. You bring with
you by all means. For a day or two.
55
00:05:17,531 --> 00:05:18,974
Thank you, Miss Fiske.
56
00:05:19,913 --> 00:05:22,776
I can't tell you how grateful I am.
- Well don't try, my dear.
57
00:05:23,612 --> 00:05:26,540
He's here, Miss.
- About time. The good-for-nothing.
58
00:05:29,731 --> 00:05:31,919
Ellen, have you got everything?
- Yes, Miss Fiske.
59
00:05:36,257 --> 00:05:37,214
Morning, ma'am.
60
00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:40,040
Bates, you might have been more prompt.
What on earth made you so late?
61
00:05:40,256 --> 00:05:44,233
Her. You can't gallop over the roads
with a lady in her delicate condition.
62
00:05:45,131 --> 00:05:46,985
She's going to throw a calf, she be.
63
00:05:47,329 --> 00:05:49,142
I'm taking her to the vets, I am.
64
00:05:49,580 --> 00:05:53,795
Kindly let her not throw any calves
until you get Miss Ellen to the station.
65
00:05:55,009 --> 00:05:58,324
Calves don't come by timetable, lady.
- Well trains do.
66
00:06:01,093 --> 00:06:02,789
Yes, ma'am.
- Goodbye, Miss Fiske.
67
00:06:03,093 --> 00:06:05,919
Goodbye, Miss Ellen.
- Goodbye, Lucy.
68
00:06:08,225 --> 00:06:10,399
Don't forget the allowance
from you-know-who.
69
00:06:10,690 --> 00:06:11,943
No, I shan't.
70
00:06:12,751 --> 00:06:13,558
Goodbye.
71
00:06:14,089 --> 00:06:15,295
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss.
72
00:06:16,549 --> 00:06:18,440
Alright now, there is a
day's work to be done.
73
00:06:43,285 --> 00:06:46,731
La, la, la .. la, la, la.
74
00:06:47,792 --> 00:06:51,445
This is nice. It's very, very nice.
- What's that you have there, Miss?
75
00:06:52,224 --> 00:06:55,022
It's called the New Comic Opera.
It's all the rage in London.
76
00:06:55,382 --> 00:06:56,355
The Mi-Ka-Do.
77
00:06:57,272 --> 00:06:58,355
Mikado.
78
00:06:59,483 --> 00:07:02,512
I used to tour the provinces with
the gentleman who sent it to me.
79
00:07:02,932 --> 00:07:05,701
Look, he signed it for me:
'Rutland Barington'.
80
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,844
'For my adored Leonora
with fond memories of ..'
81
00:07:12,167 --> 00:07:14,032
Never mind about that.
Go and do the dishes.
82
00:07:14,248 --> 00:07:15,034
Yes, Miss.
83
00:07:18,969 --> 00:07:23,159
<i>On a tree by a willow, a little tom-tit</i>.
84
00:07:23,685 --> 00:07:27,337
<i>Sang: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
85
00:07:27,860 --> 00:07:32,012
<i>And I said to him: dicky-bird,
why do you sit?</i>
86
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:36,024
<i>Singing: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
87
00:07:40,329 --> 00:07:41,550
Go on. Don't stop.
88
00:07:41,803 --> 00:07:45,343
Who are you? What are you doing here?
- Listening .. very nice too.
89
00:07:46,281 --> 00:07:48,810
What do you want?
- Ask me in and I'll tell you.
90
00:07:52,312 --> 00:07:55,617
Anyway young man, you may
come in .. but mind your manners.
91
00:07:56,854 --> 00:07:57,794
Alright, Miss.
92
00:08:06,770 --> 00:08:09,470
Isn't this where Miss Ellen Creed lives?
- Yes, she lives here.
93
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:12,146
What do you wish to see her about?
- It's a personal matter.
94
00:08:13,315 --> 00:08:15,156
She's my aunt. I'm Albert Feather.
95
00:08:15,372 --> 00:08:17,189
Your aunt?
- Right.
96
00:08:17,842 --> 00:08:20,039
Her mother was my stepfather's
uncle's second wife.
97
00:08:22,067 --> 00:08:24,058
And where do you come from?
- Gravesend.
98
00:08:24,649 --> 00:08:26,422
I .. I work in a bank there.
99
00:08:26,875 --> 00:08:28,891
It's a very long walk.
Hadn't you better sit down?
100
00:08:29,598 --> 00:08:30,640
Thank you.
101
00:08:33,063 --> 00:08:34,628
I'm afraid it's all been for nothing.
102
00:08:34,844 --> 00:08:37,420
Your aunt Ellen has gone to
London on some business for me.
103
00:08:38,218 --> 00:08:39,462
How long will she be away?
104
00:08:39,790 --> 00:08:41,215
A few days.
- A few?
105
00:08:43,071 --> 00:08:44,665
Blimey. That will be too late.
106
00:08:45,843 --> 00:08:47,270
Is there anything I can do?
107
00:08:47,764 --> 00:08:51,327
I'm Miss Fiske. Your aunt has been
working here as a housekeeper/companion.
108
00:08:52,049 --> 00:08:54,325
I didn't know.
I haven't seen her for five years.
109
00:08:56,066 --> 00:08:57,102
Can I help?
110
00:08:59,294 --> 00:09:00,176
I wonder.
111
00:09:00,570 --> 00:09:01,642
What's the trouble?
112
00:09:02,394 --> 00:09:03,435
Or is it trouble?
113
00:09:04,397 --> 00:09:07,440
It's trouble right enough.
I hardly like to tell you.
114
00:09:08,163 --> 00:09:09,437
Oh, I see.
115
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:11,115
What's the amount?
116
00:09:12,388 --> 00:09:14,291
Twelve pounds.
- How much?
117
00:09:14,952 --> 00:09:17,446
Twelve pounds.
- My goodness. That's a lot of money.
118
00:09:17,662 --> 00:09:19,564
I know. What's worse,
I must have it by tonight.
119
00:09:19,937 --> 00:09:21,177
I'm short at the bank.
120
00:09:21,937 --> 00:09:24,425
It means jail if I can't put it back
before the cashier checks up.
121
00:09:25,063 --> 00:09:27,092
Gambling?
- No. A girl.
122
00:09:28,525 --> 00:09:29,814
Are you engaged to her?
123
00:09:30,198 --> 00:09:31,426
No. She's an actress.
124
00:09:32,294 --> 00:09:34,143
She was in a travelling
company in Gravesend.
125
00:09:34,463 --> 00:09:36,933
What? At the Old Grand?
126
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:39,551
You know it?
- I played there.
127
00:09:40,084 --> 00:09:41,113
Years ago.
128
00:09:41,968 --> 00:09:43,041
You were an actress?
129
00:09:43,648 --> 00:09:45,054
Front row of the chorus.
130
00:09:45,889 --> 00:09:47,868
Fourth from the right.
131
00:09:48,396 --> 00:09:49,710
She was in the chorus too.
132
00:09:50,179 --> 00:09:51,820
I expect you took her out to supper.
133
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:54,542
Then she persuaded you to
go round the shops with her.
134
00:09:55,486 --> 00:09:56,610
How did you know?
135
00:09:58,034 --> 00:09:59,272
'Imagination', my boy.
136
00:10:01,410 --> 00:10:03,427
Anyway, she's over the hills
now to some other town.
137
00:10:03,731 --> 00:10:05,583
And with some other fool.
The little cheat.
138
00:10:10,573 --> 00:10:13,436
Don't worry any more about it.
I'll give you the twelve pounds.
139
00:10:14,686 --> 00:10:15,719
You will?
140
00:10:16,204 --> 00:10:19,080
Perhaps I owe it to you .. in a sense.
141
00:10:20,452 --> 00:10:21,783
Or to some other fool.
142
00:10:22,564 --> 00:10:23,754
You're a life-saver.
143
00:10:24,208 --> 00:10:26,940
Now you just wait here. I'll just
run upstairs and get my keys.
144
00:10:31,814 --> 00:10:33,378
A pity there aren't more like you.
145
00:10:33,970 --> 00:10:35,850
That my, lad, is a matter of opinion.
146
00:10:38,268 --> 00:10:40,807
Do you mind if I tickle on your ivories?
- No, do.
147
00:10:41,403 --> 00:10:42,190
Thank you.
148
00:10:46,990 --> 00:10:50,944
<i>It's the same the whole world over</i>.
149
00:10:52,269 --> 00:10:53,102
<i>It's</i> ..
150
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,183
<i>It's the poor what gets the blame</i>.
151
00:11:04,394 --> 00:11:08,374
<i>While the rich has all the pleasures</i>.
152
00:11:09,117 --> 00:11:12,780
<i>Now, ain't that the blinking shame</i>.
153
00:11:19,442 --> 00:11:20,183
Hello.
154
00:11:20,703 --> 00:11:21,996
You did scare me.
155
00:11:22,780 --> 00:11:24,167
I thought I was hearing things.
156
00:11:24,565 --> 00:11:25,460
You were.
157
00:11:25,819 --> 00:11:26,681
But I mean.
158
00:11:27,344 --> 00:11:28,245
A man's voice.
159
00:11:29,023 --> 00:11:30,360
So funny here.
160
00:11:32,142 --> 00:11:34,993
Doesn't the tide wash up
many male fish, my angel?
161
00:11:35,476 --> 00:11:38,023
A man is as scarce as
hansom cabs in these parts.
162
00:11:38,377 --> 00:11:40,049
That is, all but the old ones.
163
00:11:40,330 --> 00:11:43,699
The young ones go off to London or
some foreign parts as soon as they can.
164
00:11:44,405 --> 00:11:45,990
Are you going off to foreign parts?
165
00:11:46,537 --> 00:11:48,929
It depends.
- Depends on what?
166
00:11:49,541 --> 00:11:51,342
If anyone ever asks me.
167
00:11:52,252 --> 00:11:54,778
I shouldn't think with eyes like them
there would be any difficulty.
168
00:11:55,570 --> 00:11:56,438
Go on.
169
00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:59,288
What's your name?
- Lucy.
170
00:11:59,889 --> 00:12:02,390
What's yours?
- Albert. I'm Miss Creel's nephew.
171
00:12:02,791 --> 00:12:05,195
Funny .. I never heard about you.
172
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,223
That must be remedied.
173
00:12:09,483 --> 00:12:12,253
How about making the most of a male
fish now one has been washed up, eh?
174
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,043
What about a smacker?
- No, you mustn't.
175
00:12:15,952 --> 00:12:17,175
I don't know you.
176
00:12:17,650 --> 00:12:19,993
You needn't know people to kiss them.
- I do.
177
00:12:21,065 --> 00:12:22,481
Alright my girl. It's your loss.
178
00:12:23,722 --> 00:12:25,495
You think a lot of yourself, don't you?
179
00:12:36,494 --> 00:12:39,581
Has Lucy been entertaining you, Albert?
- Eh?
180
00:12:40,669 --> 00:12:42,777
She came in. We had a word or two.
181
00:12:43,910 --> 00:12:46,728
Nice looker, isn't she?
- I didn't notice.
182
00:12:47,252 --> 00:12:50,496
Come now, Albert.
Don't lose your sense of humour.
183
00:12:50,712 --> 00:12:53,147
I hope you're not one of those who
won't benefit from experience.
184
00:12:53,446 --> 00:12:57,232
Otherwise my twelve pounds
will be rather wasted, won't it.
185
00:12:58,006 --> 00:12:59,937
Don't you worry Miss Fiske.
I've had my lesson.
186
00:13:00,307 --> 00:13:01,631
I hope so.
187
00:13:05,189 --> 00:13:07,912
Now .. this is where we
keep our little hoard.
188
00:13:09,396 --> 00:13:11,055
It's an old bake-oven really.
189
00:13:12,795 --> 00:13:14,007
A proper tomb, isn't it?
190
00:13:15,288 --> 00:13:16,161
What's that?
191
00:13:16,603 --> 00:13:18,678
This is what they used to
pull the loaves out with.
192
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:24,941
Of course, we don't use it as a
bake-oven. Hasn't been used in years.
193
00:13:30,894 --> 00:13:31,880
Now then.
194
00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:34,726
Twelve pounds, I think you said.
195
00:13:35,604 --> 00:13:37,505
You couldn't make if fifteen?
- No, I couldn't.
196
00:13:37,721 --> 00:13:38,593
You couldn't?
197
00:13:40,918 --> 00:13:42,648
Do I give you an I.O.U.?
198
00:13:43,001 --> 00:13:44,040
No thank you.
199
00:13:44,453 --> 00:13:45,721
This isn't a loan.
200
00:13:46,087 --> 00:13:49,548
I shouldn't like you to incur the
remorse of not paying it back.
201
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:51,267
You are a daisy.
202
00:13:53,929 --> 00:13:55,680
Very prettily done, Albert.
203
00:14:00,308 --> 00:14:02,327
Now, let's forget all about it.
204
00:14:04,460 --> 00:14:06,870
If you came next week, you'd have
found three of your aunts here.
205
00:14:07,162 --> 00:14:09,049
Ellen is bringing her
sisters back from London.
206
00:14:09,406 --> 00:14:11,513
What, the potty ones?
- Potty?
207
00:14:11,729 --> 00:14:13,188
Queer as mice in a cage.
208
00:14:14,466 --> 00:14:16,775
They're quite harmless.
Especially when aunt Ellen's around.
209
00:14:17,257 --> 00:14:20,141
For comfort, they're coming
to stay here for a few days.
210
00:14:20,646 --> 00:14:23,031
They seem to mean quite a
great deal to your aunt Ellen.
211
00:14:23,247 --> 00:14:24,573
Oh, they would.
212
00:14:25,219 --> 00:14:27,164
She's looked after them
since she was a kid.
213
00:14:27,426 --> 00:14:30,676
She's watched over them like they were
a couple of perishing babes-in-arms.
214
00:14:31,397 --> 00:14:34,292
I think that's very commendable of her.
- Perhaps, but ..
215
00:14:34,796 --> 00:14:36,355
Think of all the fun she's missing.
216
00:14:37,398 --> 00:14:40,282
What, for example?
- You know.
217
00:14:41,511 --> 00:14:42,582
I see.
218
00:14:43,201 --> 00:14:46,094
I have to be toddling along.
I'll pay you back as soon as I can.
219
00:14:51,506 --> 00:14:54,128
I'd appreciate if you don't mention
our little transaction to aunt Ellen.
220
00:14:54,344 --> 00:14:55,709
Very well. If you like.
221
00:14:56,156 --> 00:14:57,446
How about .. whatsername?
222
00:14:57,987 --> 00:15:00,717
Lucy? Oh she won't say anything.
I'll take care of that.
223
00:15:01,147 --> 00:15:01,848
Thanks.
224
00:15:04,128 --> 00:15:05,104
So long my lady.
225
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,428
And again from the heart. I'll never
forget your kindness as long as I live.
226
00:15:10,954 --> 00:15:12,887
I hope you live a great
deal longer than that.
227
00:15:41,690 --> 00:15:45,882
Isn't it funny, Ellen? You can't see
the wind and you can't touch it.
228
00:15:46,164 --> 00:15:47,202
But it's there.
229
00:15:48,220 --> 00:15:51,549
I think you'd better have this round
you, dear. It's getting quite chilly.
230
00:15:52,323 --> 00:15:54,061
Listen .. what's that?
231
00:15:54,324 --> 00:15:56,455
Those are The Priory bells, dear.
From over the marshes.
232
00:15:56,671 --> 00:15:58,875
Oh .. I shan't like that.
233
00:16:00,388 --> 00:16:03,269
She hates bells.
- Especially church bells.
234
00:16:03,959 --> 00:16:06,415
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong.
235
00:16:06,823 --> 00:16:08,452
Aren't the marshes pretty.
236
00:16:09,396 --> 00:16:11,378
The grass is too long and untidy.
237
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,566
If I had a knife and a bit of string,
I'd cut it and tie it up in bundles.
238
00:16:18,823 --> 00:16:21,809
Are there any sheep here on the marshes?
- Yes, Miss.
239
00:16:22,119 --> 00:16:25,040
I think sheep are so clever to
chew their cud the way they do.
240
00:16:25,490 --> 00:16:26,918
It's very difficult.
241
00:16:27,875 --> 00:16:29,030
I've tried.
242
00:16:31,415 --> 00:16:34,749
You ought to be a sailor, Miss.
They're always chewing tobacco.
243
00:16:35,584 --> 00:16:37,415
The man I was to marry was a sailor.
244
00:16:38,195 --> 00:16:39,482
He gave me this.
245
00:16:40,242 --> 00:16:42,105
It's all I have to remember him by.
246
00:16:43,219 --> 00:16:44,631
He was wrecked at sea.
247
00:16:46,036 --> 00:16:47,692
They were all drowned.
248
00:16:48,609 --> 00:16:50,781
It must have been a bit of
sadness for you, Missy.
249
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,617
Oh no. I've quite forgotten
what he looked like.
250
00:16:53,867 --> 00:16:58,114
I saw a drowned man once. They took
him out of the Thames. He was green.
251
00:16:59,726 --> 00:17:00,800
Frogs.
252
00:17:01,614 --> 00:17:03,598
There must be lots of frogs.
253
00:17:04,872 --> 00:17:07,194
We used to have such
fun with them at home.
254
00:17:07,942 --> 00:17:11,767
We used to put them on the dining-table
and make them jump in the marmalade pot.
255
00:17:24,590 --> 00:17:27,124
Look. There's a bird's nest.
- So there is.
256
00:17:27,425 --> 00:17:29,585
It must be last summer's.
- I should like to have that.
257
00:17:29,801 --> 00:17:30,956
Bates, stop please.
258
00:17:33,961 --> 00:17:35,709
Oh .. I have it.
259
00:17:37,576 --> 00:17:40,244
Isn't it beautiful?
- Oh dear, it's all cobwebby.
260
00:17:41,088 --> 00:17:43,437
And it has a horrid smell.
- It mustn't be wasted.
261
00:17:43,773 --> 00:17:46,676
I shall save it until next year
and then I'll put it back again.
262
00:17:47,792 --> 00:17:49,568
Who knows where we'll be next year?
263
00:17:50,919 --> 00:17:53,493
Not in London anyway. You promised that.
264
00:17:54,646 --> 00:17:56,807
Yes, I promised that.
- Look.
265
00:17:59,651 --> 00:18:02,019
Louisa .. how did that happen?
266
00:18:02,290 --> 00:18:03,334
She did it.
- Who?
267
00:18:03,721 --> 00:18:04,985
That woman in London.
268
00:18:05,980 --> 00:18:08,599
She didn't give us enough food either.
- 'Discipline' she said.
269
00:18:09,276 --> 00:18:11,196
Louisa used to cry all night.
270
00:18:11,605 --> 00:18:13,863
I didn't. She couldn't discipline me.
271
00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:17,371
We'll be alright here
though with Miss Fiske.
272
00:18:17,911 --> 00:18:18,927
She won't beat us.
273
00:18:20,371 --> 00:18:22,086
No darling, she won't beat you.
274
00:18:23,299 --> 00:18:24,774
No-one will again. Ever.
275
00:18:35,203 --> 00:18:38,132
Now remember what I told you both.
You're not to talk too much.
276
00:18:38,505 --> 00:18:40,175
Wait until Miss Fiske knows you better.
277
00:18:40,391 --> 00:18:42,433
How can she get to know
us better if we don't talk?
278
00:18:43,833 --> 00:18:45,955
Come along dear.
Bates, get the luggage, will you.
279
00:18:46,171 --> 00:18:47,147
Yes, ma'am.
280
00:18:55,788 --> 00:18:57,441
They look harmless.
- What, Miss?
281
00:18:58,044 --> 00:19:00,065
Never mind. Go and put the kettle on.
- Yes, Miss.
282
00:19:07,201 --> 00:19:09,332
Well, here we are.
- I'm glad.
283
00:19:09,821 --> 00:19:12,750
Miss Fiske .. my sister
Emily, my sister Louisa.
284
00:19:13,012 --> 00:19:15,614
How do you do, Emily?
- We're very glad to be here.
285
00:19:16,355 --> 00:19:18,625
Louisa.
- I don't like people to touch me.
286
00:19:20,092 --> 00:19:22,203
I'm afraid Miss Fiske will
think you're very rude.
287
00:19:22,637 --> 00:19:25,893
They're rather tired, poor dears.
- I never get tired.
288
00:19:26,246 --> 00:19:28,424
I sometimes walk about
the house all night.
289
00:19:29,354 --> 00:19:32,358
Do you indeed?
- No, of course she doesn't, Miss Fiske.
290
00:19:35,582 --> 00:19:37,090
What beautiful furniture.
291
00:19:37,766 --> 00:19:40,401
Just like we used to have
before we lost all our money.
292
00:19:40,705 --> 00:19:44,104
Some of these <i>are </i>our things, dear.
Miss Fiske bought them at my Curio Shop.
293
00:19:44,499 --> 00:19:45,716
I want my tea.
294
00:19:45,982 --> 00:19:49,687
Emily, see .. here's the
grand champ himself.
295
00:19:50,198 --> 00:19:52,303
Remember when father bought him for us?
296
00:19:52,874 --> 00:19:54,913
I wonder if his head still nods.
297
00:19:55,230 --> 00:19:57,850
Ding-dong, ding-dong ..
- Louisa, dear.
298
00:19:58,188 --> 00:20:00,094
Bates, be careful.
You'll scratch the furniture.
299
00:20:00,329 --> 00:20:01,719
Very good, ma'am.
300
00:20:07,149 --> 00:20:09,201
I must say you've brought
enough luggage with you.
301
00:20:09,549 --> 00:20:11,220
We've brought everything.
- Everything?
302
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,760
We had to.
- Why?
303
00:20:13,089 --> 00:20:14,453
When they sent for the police.
304
00:20:14,787 --> 00:20:17,483
Now, my dears. I'm sure all this
can't possibly interest Miss Fiske.
305
00:20:17,819 --> 00:20:19,779
I think we should go up
and rest a bit before tea.
306
00:20:20,125 --> 00:20:22,023
Whatever you say, Ellen.
- Come along, Emily.
307
00:20:22,239 --> 00:20:24,948
That smelly train was very dirty.
308
00:20:25,188 --> 00:20:28,708
She's always fussing about the dirt.
I hope you keep things tidy here.
309
00:20:28,924 --> 00:20:32,483
Cleanliness is next to
Godliness .. don't you agree?
310
00:20:33,018 --> 00:20:35,985
Well .. I'm quite clean, I believe.
311
00:20:36,652 --> 00:20:39,005
But I don't know that
I'm particularly Godly.
312
00:20:39,668 --> 00:20:41,267
I thought you were a Roman.
313
00:20:41,837 --> 00:20:42,824
Isn't that yours?
314
00:20:43,077 --> 00:20:45,458
Miss Fiske is a Roman, dear.
And a very devoted one.
315
00:20:45,929 --> 00:20:47,614
Come along Louisa, Emily.
316
00:20:47,957 --> 00:20:50,102
Father, didn't approve of Romans.
317
00:20:52,032 --> 00:20:53,290
And neither do I.
318
00:21:13,724 --> 00:21:16,116
I expect it's one of those boobies.
319
00:21:16,588 --> 00:21:20,641
Miss Emily was drawing cat's faces on
brown paper yesterday when you were out.
320
00:21:21,138 --> 00:21:23,357
I can't stand it. I can't stand it.
321
00:21:23,721 --> 00:21:26,634
My lovely paisley shawl. It's ruined.
322
00:21:27,927 --> 00:21:31,189
You'd better get some vinegar and see
if you can do something about this spot.
323
00:21:31,443 --> 00:21:32,256
Yes, Miss.
324
00:21:32,810 --> 00:21:35,900
I'm utterly exhausted clearing
up after their messes.
325
00:21:36,172 --> 00:21:38,204
I don't wonder, Miss. So am I.
326
00:21:38,529 --> 00:21:42,030
And you should see their
bedroom. It's like a goat's-pen.
327
00:21:42,483 --> 00:21:45,783
I know it. If it isn't one
thing, it's another.
328
00:21:46,153 --> 00:21:49,633
For the last six weeks were like living
in the middle of Piccadilly Circus.
329
00:21:50,566 --> 00:21:52,478
My heart won't stand it.
330
00:21:53,336 --> 00:21:55,144
Go and get my smelling salts.
331
00:21:56,829 --> 00:21:59,720
Where are they, Miss?
- In the usual place, of course.
332
00:21:59,984 --> 00:22:01,928
Nothing is in the usual
place these days.
333
00:22:02,169 --> 00:22:02,822
No.
334
00:22:03,664 --> 00:22:05,532
Well then, get me a cold compress.
335
00:22:06,303 --> 00:22:09,597
I shall lie down and
take a nap while I can.
336
00:22:13,641 --> 00:22:14,627
Miss Fiske.
337
00:22:14,950 --> 00:22:18,862
Yes, what is it? What is it?
- Will they be staying much longer?
338
00:22:20,743 --> 00:22:23,049
They'll have my invitation
to go this evening.
339
00:22:26,420 --> 00:22:30,273
Oh dear, I wonder where Emily has
gone to. She ought to be back by now.
340
00:22:31,513 --> 00:22:33,331
I can't see her anywhere.
341
00:22:33,776 --> 00:22:37,997
I wish I were brave like Emily.
I should like to take long walks too.
342
00:22:38,404 --> 00:22:40,016
And pick up things.
343
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,248
Perhaps I shall be able to
after we've stayed here longer.
344
00:22:44,902 --> 00:22:46,145
I'm sure you will, dear.
345
00:22:46,442 --> 00:22:48,530
I shall be staying here, shan't I?
346
00:22:49,544 --> 00:22:52,354
You're not planning to send us away?
Are you, Ellen?
347
00:22:53,227 --> 00:22:54,739
No dear. Of course I'm not.
348
00:22:55,199 --> 00:22:57,189
This is what you've always promised us.
349
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,885
A little place in the country
where we can always be safe.
350
00:23:01,424 --> 00:23:04,604
Yes .. it's the one thing
I've been working for.
351
00:23:05,415 --> 00:23:07,236
Ever since we had to
give up the old house.
352
00:23:07,574 --> 00:23:10,567
Naturally, Estuary House
could never be like that.
353
00:23:11,114 --> 00:23:12,511
But it's nice enough.
354
00:23:12,898 --> 00:23:14,774
Yes, and Miss Fiske has
been very kind to us.
355
00:23:15,471 --> 00:23:18,924
Miss Fiske .. may I tell
you something, Ellen?
356
00:23:19,743 --> 00:23:21,102
Just one of my secrets.
357
00:23:21,866 --> 00:23:22,931
Of course you may.
358
00:23:23,717 --> 00:23:25,589
I don't like Miss Fiske.
359
00:23:27,025 --> 00:23:30,951
Couldn't we send her away? Then it
would <i>really</i> be just the three of us.
360
00:23:31,260 --> 00:23:33,656
But I keep telling you,
Louisa. It's <i>her</i> house.
361
00:23:34,059 --> 00:23:36,189
Oh no. You'll never
make me believe that.
362
00:23:36,987 --> 00:23:38,457
All out lovely things are there.
363
00:23:39,795 --> 00:23:43,336
We'll never have to go away, will we?
- No, darling. I promised you.
364
00:23:44,163 --> 00:23:44,998
Never.
365
00:23:46,020 --> 00:23:48,323
I think Miss Fiske wants us to go.
366
00:23:49,091 --> 00:23:50,341
Both of us.
367
00:23:50,928 --> 00:23:52,812
I'm sure I can persuade
her to let you stay.
368
00:23:54,613 --> 00:23:56,349
Oh dear, I do wish Emily would come.
369
00:23:56,602 --> 00:23:58,912
Maybe we'd better get along
home in case she's waiting there.
370
00:23:59,701 --> 00:24:00,838
Come along, dear.
371
00:24:01,945 --> 00:24:04,810
I don't want her upsetting Miss Fiske
again. She can be very tactless.
372
00:24:23,370 --> 00:24:25,220
Here girl, take this.
373
00:24:25,436 --> 00:24:27,267
Thanks a lot. What are we to do with it?
374
00:24:27,506 --> 00:24:29,709
Put it in the woodshed,
where it belongs.
375
00:24:29,962 --> 00:24:33,268
The woodshed is full. I won't have
you cluttering up my kitchen with it.
376
00:24:33,731 --> 00:24:35,093
Very well then.
377
00:24:44,580 --> 00:24:46,788
Oh dear ..
378
00:24:48,844 --> 00:24:50,225
What is it now?
379
00:24:54,808 --> 00:24:56,535
Wait until Miss Fiske sees this.
380
00:24:57,306 --> 00:24:59,938
What's the matter now? My goodness.
381
00:25:00,154 --> 00:25:02,116
More wood?
- Yes. Miss Emily dumped it.
382
00:25:02,602 --> 00:25:04,986
Never mind. You get out of here.
- I got a nice lot today.
383
00:25:05,672 --> 00:25:08,305
What are you thinking of? Making a
mess with it all over my clean floor.
384
00:25:08,521 --> 00:25:10,394
The girl wouldn't let
me put it in the kitchen.
385
00:25:10,671 --> 00:25:13,708
She's quite right. I told you to stop
bringing in wood. We have enough.
386
00:25:13,924 --> 00:25:16,497
I must tidy up the river
banks. I hate waste.
387
00:25:16,713 --> 00:25:18,995
And I hate litter. Now you
clear it away immediately.
388
00:25:19,239 --> 00:25:21,201
I won't be ordered to do things.
389
00:25:22,767 --> 00:25:24,118
This is too much.
390
00:25:24,496 --> 00:25:26,293
My best polished table.
391
00:25:26,789 --> 00:25:28,933
Look how these shells have scratched it.
392
00:25:29,269 --> 00:25:31,965
What's this? Wet seaweed and a horrid ..
393
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,604
Dead bird.
394
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,561
Leave my bird alone. And my shells.
395
00:25:37,060 --> 00:25:38,248
They are my treasures.
396
00:25:38,610 --> 00:25:41,515
We don't understand expensive things.
It's so long since we had any.
397
00:25:41,981 --> 00:25:44,044
I know it's very simple of me.
But I am simple.
398
00:25:44,260 --> 00:25:46,087
Emily .. what's wrong?
399
00:25:46,309 --> 00:25:48,986
I hate her. She threw my
bird into the fireplace.
400
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,507
Emily, control yourself.
401
00:25:50,723 --> 00:25:52,603
See what she's done
with her ridiculous shells.
402
00:25:52,885 --> 00:25:54,816
It will take a month's
polishing to put it right.
403
00:25:55,032 --> 00:25:56,708
I'm sorry Miss Fiske, I'll put it right.
404
00:25:57,276 --> 00:26:00,394
No Ellen, you shan't. I'll do it.
Let me do it. I'll polish it.
405
00:26:00,610 --> 00:26:02,434
Every day, all through the winter.
406
00:26:02,769 --> 00:26:05,511
Sweet of you, Louisa. But I doubt
you'll be here through the winter.
407
00:26:05,969 --> 00:26:07,630
But we shall. Ellen said so.
408
00:26:07,953 --> 00:26:10,046
You're mistaken, Louisa.
I said nothing of the kind.
409
00:26:10,262 --> 00:26:12,701
But you did. You promised.
- Louisa, will you be quiet.
410
00:26:16,013 --> 00:26:18,157
My heavens. This is the last straw.
411
00:26:18,802 --> 00:26:20,996
You'll drive me as crazy as yourselves.
412
00:26:24,448 --> 00:26:25,406
Oh, Ellen.
413
00:26:27,312 --> 00:26:28,535
Miss Fiske.
414
00:26:29,134 --> 00:26:31,588
I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to say that, but ..
415
00:26:32,377 --> 00:26:34,890
I've had about as much as I can endure.
416
00:26:36,396 --> 00:26:39,219
Emily .. take Louisa upstairs.
417
00:26:39,889 --> 00:26:41,482
Now, stop your crying, Louisa.
418
00:26:42,358 --> 00:26:44,045
There's nothing to cry about.
419
00:26:45,286 --> 00:26:46,141
Do you hear?
420
00:26:46,743 --> 00:26:48,817
Go upstairs. Both of you.
421
00:26:51,981 --> 00:26:53,380
And close the door behind you.
422
00:26:58,271 --> 00:27:00,113
That was a cruel thing to say.
423
00:27:00,788 --> 00:27:01,944
But it's true.
424
00:27:02,778 --> 00:27:06,123
One with her telescope and the other
with her mania for collecting things.
425
00:27:06,703 --> 00:27:08,149
They are insane, both of them.
426
00:27:08,609 --> 00:27:10,479
Please don't use that word again.
427
00:27:11,078 --> 00:27:12,310
Emily was right.
428
00:27:12,956 --> 00:27:14,664
But then people who
have all they want ..
429
00:27:15,013 --> 00:27:17,979
Never understand how much the smallest
things mean to those who haven't.
430
00:27:18,345 --> 00:27:19,046
Really?
431
00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:21,362
I don't think this calls for a sermon.
432
00:27:22,276 --> 00:27:24,365
I've been more than generous
to you and your sisters.
433
00:27:24,581 --> 00:27:26,750
People have always been very
generous to you, Miss Fiske.
434
00:27:26,966 --> 00:27:29,126
My sisters and I have never had
friends to send <i>us</i> money.
435
00:27:29,379 --> 00:27:31,480
That's hardly my fault, is it.
- No.
436
00:27:31,793 --> 00:27:35,189
Don't you feel you have a responsibility
to those less fortunate than you?
437
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,615
I don't know what you're talking about.
438
00:27:38,441 --> 00:27:40,476
Life hasn't been very
kind to us, Miss Fiske.
439
00:27:40,817 --> 00:27:42,798
Every penny we've ever
had, I've had to work for.
440
00:27:43,014 --> 00:27:45,706
Every penny. But at least
we have our self-respect.
441
00:27:47,024 --> 00:27:48,654
How dare you.
442
00:27:49,634 --> 00:27:51,866
How dare you criticise my life.
443
00:27:52,216 --> 00:27:55,606
Do you think I don't envy women who
have respectability? Who have families?
444
00:27:55,822 --> 00:27:58,890
Who aren't just forgotten and pensioned
off when they lose their stock-in-trade.
445
00:27:59,208 --> 00:28:01,196
Then you can't blame me
for fighting for my family.
446
00:28:01,412 --> 00:28:03,466
Very admirable, but it's
your family and not mine.
447
00:28:03,941 --> 00:28:05,065
Let me tell you this.
448
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,935
Your sisters, insane or not,
have overstayed their welcome.
449
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,611
I invite them here for two days
and they've stayed six weeks.
450
00:28:10,827 --> 00:28:13,450
Or perhaps you were planning
to keep them here forever?
451
00:28:14,485 --> 00:28:16,324
Well .. I had thought ..
452
00:28:17,124 --> 00:28:19,622
That I might pay something out
of my wages for their keep.
453
00:28:19,895 --> 00:28:22,261
Ellen, you're a hypocrite.
You're worse, you're a cheat.
454
00:28:22,937 --> 00:28:26,279
You meant to foist your wretched
brood on me and bleed me white.
455
00:28:26,626 --> 00:28:30,814
And when I saw through your scheme, you
had the insolence to turn and abuse me.
456
00:28:31,124 --> 00:28:32,701
But you've chosen the wrong woman.
457
00:28:32,917 --> 00:28:35,255
You get those sisters of yours
out of this house at once.
458
00:28:35,604 --> 00:28:37,644
And take a month's wages
and go with them.
459
00:28:39,743 --> 00:28:40,815
Miss Fiske.
460
00:29:08,710 --> 00:29:11,039
Ellen .. why aren't you in bed?
461
00:29:11,451 --> 00:29:13,179
Why are you prowling about at this hour?
462
00:29:13,761 --> 00:29:16,786
Miss Fiske, may I come in?
I must talk with you, please.
463
00:29:17,357 --> 00:29:18,516
Well, mind your tongue.
464
00:29:18,764 --> 00:29:20,987
We don't want any more of
this afternoon's unpleasantness.
465
00:29:23,612 --> 00:29:24,936
I'm sorry about that.
466
00:29:25,715 --> 00:29:27,833
I was wrong. I shouldn't
have spoken to you as I did.
467
00:29:28,791 --> 00:29:30,462
No .. you shouldn't.
468
00:29:37,617 --> 00:29:38,744
Miss Fiske.
469
00:29:39,702 --> 00:29:42,303
Do you remember the letter that arrived
the day I went away to London?
470
00:29:42,556 --> 00:29:46,058
Yes .. what about it?
- It was from their landlady.
471
00:29:46,613 --> 00:29:47,747
Emily and Louisa.
472
00:29:48,187 --> 00:29:49,552
Had been a little difficult.
473
00:29:49,893 --> 00:29:51,137
She'd sent for the police.
474
00:29:52,329 --> 00:29:54,369
They were going to be
put away in an institution.
475
00:29:54,764 --> 00:29:57,034
The landlady was quite right.
That's where they belong.
476
00:29:57,393 --> 00:30:00,433
But Miss Fiske, you don't
understand. They're my sisters.
477
00:30:00,820 --> 00:30:02,707
You don't know what I've
gone through for them.
478
00:30:02,923 --> 00:30:05,036
They've no-one else in the
world to turn to but me.
479
00:30:05,740 --> 00:30:08,948
I pleaded with the police to release
them. They agreed on one condition.
480
00:30:09,533 --> 00:30:11,458
That they were to remain
in my personal care.
481
00:30:11,740 --> 00:30:13,336
That I was to be responsible for them.
482
00:30:13,787 --> 00:30:15,440
And if there were any more complaints.
483
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,522
That they were to be put away forever.
That's why I can't send them away.
484
00:30:19,825 --> 00:30:21,889
All this devotion is
very admirable, Ellen.
485
00:30:22,285 --> 00:30:24,471
But I fail to see how I can
help in any way at all.
486
00:30:24,801 --> 00:30:26,903
Oh but you can. You can, Miss Fiske.
487
00:30:27,618 --> 00:30:29,823
I thought perhaps they
might use the attic upstairs.
488
00:30:30,162 --> 00:30:32,379
They'll stay there out of the
way where you don't see them.
489
00:30:32,716 --> 00:30:34,876
They could use the back stairs
when they come in and out.
490
00:30:35,129 --> 00:30:37,055
Ellen, what are you talking about?
491
00:30:37,271 --> 00:30:40,267
I promise they'll never come near you.
You'll never know they're in the house.
492
00:30:40,829 --> 00:30:43,797
I'll look after them myself.
I'll cook their meals for them.
493
00:30:44,387 --> 00:30:46,231
I promise they won't
be any more trouble.
494
00:30:46,913 --> 00:30:49,120
Miss Fiske, they must
be with me, they must.
495
00:30:49,439 --> 00:30:51,590
I'll pay for their keep.
I'll work for nothing.
496
00:30:51,834 --> 00:30:54,509
Please .. oh, please Miss Fiske.
497
00:30:54,829 --> 00:30:56,720
Ellen, have you quite
gone out of your mind?
498
00:30:57,064 --> 00:31:00,126
You must be blind if you can't realise
they'd always be getting in my way.
499
00:31:00,342 --> 00:31:02,612
You pack them off tomorrow.
- But, Miss Fiske. Won't ..?
500
00:31:02,828 --> 00:31:04,369
No Ellen, my mind is made up.
501
00:31:05,471 --> 00:31:09,239
If you want to, you can stay here a few
days until you've found a new situation.
502
00:31:10,018 --> 00:31:12,814
Now run along to bed. And make
certain they leave tomorrow.
503
00:31:14,132 --> 00:31:16,592
You wouldn't want me to be sending
for the police, would you?
504
00:31:18,682 --> 00:31:20,329
Goodnight Ellen. I'm tired.
505
00:31:24,230 --> 00:31:25,186
Goodnight.
506
00:31:48,528 --> 00:31:50,908
But you told her you were
going to send us away.
507
00:31:52,592 --> 00:31:54,344
I'm not going to send you away.
508
00:31:54,732 --> 00:31:56,620
We heard you. We were listening.
509
00:31:57,784 --> 00:31:59,386
Isn't she terrible, Ellen?
510
00:32:00,207 --> 00:32:01,536
She's wicked.
511
00:32:03,006 --> 00:32:04,907
I'm not going to send you away.
512
00:32:06,836 --> 00:32:07,678
Never.
513
00:32:08,554 --> 00:32:11,269
If you're not sending us away,
what are you going to do?
514
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,293
I don't know.
515
00:32:16,674 --> 00:32:17,831
I must think.
516
00:32:30,078 --> 00:32:32,550
I've always wanted
to explore an old castle.
517
00:32:32,971 --> 00:32:35,857
Will it have a dungeon do you think?
- They all have dungeons.
518
00:32:36,191 --> 00:32:36,978
With bats.
519
00:32:37,415 --> 00:32:39,138
No, dear. Bats are in belfries.
520
00:32:39,459 --> 00:32:43,180
There's sure to be secret passageways
and places where they'd hide things.
521
00:32:45,198 --> 00:32:46,346
Like that.
522
00:32:54,259 --> 00:32:58,372
Yes .. I'm sure Miss Fiske has lots
of exciting things hidden in there.
523
00:32:58,588 --> 00:33:00,212
Her jewels, I'm sure.
524
00:33:01,019 --> 00:33:04,181
I've looked in all her boxes and
haven't been able to find them.
525
00:33:04,718 --> 00:33:07,167
Are you both ready?
- Oh yes. Quite.
526
00:33:07,404 --> 00:33:10,004
I managed to pack all
the lunch into one bag.
527
00:33:10,660 --> 00:33:11,630
Mine.
528
00:33:12,914 --> 00:33:15,600
Come here and sit down.
I want to talk to you both.
529
00:33:25,193 --> 00:33:25,808
Now.
530
00:33:26,107 --> 00:33:28,868
I haven't told you the real reason why
you're being sent away for a whole day.
531
00:33:29,589 --> 00:33:32,633
The truth is I want to be entirely
alone with Miss Fiske for a few hours.
532
00:33:32,849 --> 00:33:34,817
Is that why you got rid of Lucy too?
533
00:33:35,131 --> 00:33:37,177
I didn't get rid of Lucy, Emily.
She had a toothache.
534
00:33:37,393 --> 00:33:40,293
Oh Ellen dear, you know that's
not true. She didn't want to go at all.
535
00:33:40,754 --> 00:33:42,833
I said she had a toothache, Louisa.
536
00:33:44,698 --> 00:33:45,628
Now listen.
537
00:33:46,220 --> 00:33:49,408
Last night, while you were both asleep,
I had a long talk with Miss Fiske.
538
00:33:50,131 --> 00:33:52,867
She's tired of the marshes
and wants to travel for a bit.
539
00:33:53,530 --> 00:33:55,633
I've persuaded her to
sell this house to me.
540
00:33:55,849 --> 00:33:58,210
Not really, Ellen?
- We haven't discussed price yet.
541
00:33:58,976 --> 00:34:02,422
That's why I must be alone with her, so
we can talk with nothing to distract us.
542
00:34:02,694 --> 00:34:05,355
She may want more than
you're prepared to pay.
543
00:34:07,101 --> 00:34:09,142
I'm prepared to pay
quite a big price, Emily.
544
00:34:09,569 --> 00:34:11,442
Oh, lovely, lovely, lovely.
545
00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:14,491
Oh Emily, aren't you excited?
- Louisa, be quiet.
546
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:17,415
Now, there's one more thing.
547
00:34:18,401 --> 00:34:19,716
The most important.
548
00:34:35,231 --> 00:34:36,722
You see this bible, both of you?
549
00:34:37,587 --> 00:34:39,899
I want you to swear on it.
By father's memory.
550
00:34:40,590 --> 00:34:43,550
That you'll never repeat a word of my
buying this house as long as you live.
551
00:34:45,940 --> 00:34:46,963
What do I say?
552
00:34:47,581 --> 00:34:48,963
Just say 'I swear'.
553
00:34:49,670 --> 00:34:51,113
Oh .. I swear.
554
00:34:51,554 --> 00:34:52,484
You too, Emily.
555
00:34:52,787 --> 00:34:54,831
I won't swear on the bible. It's wicked.
556
00:34:55,435 --> 00:34:56,571
If you don't Emily ..
557
00:34:56,869 --> 00:34:59,143
I shan't buy the house and I'll
send you both back to London.
558
00:34:59,426 --> 00:35:01,058
Oh Emily, be sensible.
559
00:35:01,660 --> 00:35:04,984
I don't like being made
to do things .. I promise.
560
00:35:05,604 --> 00:35:06,759
Now, remember.
561
00:35:07,527 --> 00:35:09,016
That's a sacred oath.
562
00:35:15,968 --> 00:35:18,162
Here's Bates. Hurry now.
There's no time to waste.
563
00:35:35,582 --> 00:35:38,805
Drive slowly Bates.
Please don't let them get cold.
564
00:35:39,425 --> 00:35:42,412
You can take your time. I shan't be
expecting you back before dusk.
565
00:35:42,815 --> 00:35:43,999
Very good, ma'am.
566
00:35:44,599 --> 00:35:47,698
Goodbye Ellen. I wish you could come.
- I wish you were coming too.
567
00:35:48,129 --> 00:35:49,432
Goodbye Ellen.
- Goodbye.
568
00:35:49,861 --> 00:35:50,855
Goodbye, dears.
569
00:35:51,341 --> 00:35:53,195
Have a good time.
- Thank you.
570
00:36:58,085 --> 00:36:59,246
I'm out of practice.
571
00:37:11,178 --> 00:37:14,210
To dear Louisa and dear Emily.
572
00:37:14,858 --> 00:37:16,359
May we never meet again.
573
00:37:22,767 --> 00:37:24,335

[ Door knocks ]
575
00:39:20,175 --> 00:39:22,634
May we come in?
- Yes.
576
00:39:25,330 --> 00:39:28,536
I'd like to speak to Miss Ellen.
Unless Miss Fiske is back?
577
00:39:29,038 --> 00:39:32,096
No, she's still away. I'll fetch Ellen.
578
00:39:34,682 --> 00:39:36,292
We're making jam.
579
00:39:44,568 --> 00:39:45,883
Good evening.
580
00:39:46,963 --> 00:39:48,418
It isn't a very good one, is it?
581
00:39:48,747 --> 00:39:52,681
No, as a matter of fact it's not.
Cats and dogs.
582
00:39:55,747 --> 00:39:56,934
Good evening, Sisters.
583
00:39:57,318 --> 00:39:58,650
Sorry to keep you waiting.

00:39:58,866 --> 00:40:00,911
But we're in the middle of
putting up our quince jam.
585
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,087
Please don't apologise. I'm afraid
we've come on a begging errand.
586
00:40:04,550 --> 00:40:06,781
Our supplier of oil hasn't
arrived from Rochester.
587
00:40:07,225 --> 00:40:10,245
And the Reverend Mother wondered
if we might borrow a can until Sunday.

Of course .. Lucy.

Will you run out to the shed
and bring in a can of paraffin.

Yes, Miss Ellen.

What are you doing here, hanging
about with the storm and all?

I've a little business inside.
Had to ensure the coast was clear.

What business?
- Listen, Lucky.

Is Miss Fiske about?
- No, she's away.

- She's here right enough.

And them two crazy sisters of hers.
- Does she know I've been here before?

No. Mistress said not to say.
- Good. Get on with your work.

I'll come in the front door
like a proper gentleman.

Not that we shan't .. later.

I'm very particular who I know.
607
00:41:30,205 --> 00:41:33,391
For a moment, when I saw the candles
burning, I thought Miss Fiske was back.

Ellen's been lighting them lately.

I really couldn't say, Sister.

She hasn't written for over a fortnight.

We were so surprised
to learn she'd gone.

She hadn't mentioned she was
planning a journey anywhere.

No. It was quite unexpected.

She had a letter from some old
friends inviting her on a trip.

Good evening, Sisters.
- Thank you.

Sisters Lucy and give them a hand.

who is watching us.

I hope she's not getting
in league with the nuns.

Against us.

Ellen would never do that.
- She's taken to lighting those candles.

I think I'll blow them out.
- Ellen wouldn't like that.

everything her own way?

nephew every night of the week.

- Just a tiny thimbleful for me, Albert.

- Goodnight.

turned Roman have you?

I do this for a friend.

Now, Albert.

and get down to cases.

To cut it fine, I'm taking a compulsory
holiday from my bank over in Gravesend.

In other words, you've lost your job.
- I've given it up.

You haven't done anything
wrong, have you?
729
00:49:09,237 --> 00:49:11,605
I sort-of helped myself to a
little salary I wasn't entitled to.
730
00:49:12,885 --> 00:49:14,393
You mean, you've stolen money.
731
00:49:16,415 --> 00:49:19,181
This is rattling good brandy.
- Answer me, Albert.
732
00:49:21,270 --> 00:49:23,848
You've got it.
- How much?
733
00:49:24,594 --> 00:49:27,402
A small matter of a hundred pounds.
- I'll see.
734
00:49:30,342 --> 00:49:33,271
I suppose you want me to give you the
hundred pounds so you can put it back?
735

I'm afraid it's too late for that.
They found out, the police.

coming. So I .. I took French leave.

They'll come here.

00:49:46,079 --> 00:49:49,774
Don't worry .. no-one knows I've got
relations out here on the marshes.
740
00:49:51,122 --> 00:49:52,699
I'll be safe here for a lifetime.
741
00:49:53,159 --> 00:49:55,319
You're certainly not going
to stay here for a lifetime.
742
00:49:55,769 --> 00:49:57,815
Surely you don't mind me
staying for a while, do you?
743
00:49:58,340 --> 00:50:00,745
Until it all blows over.
- Then what do you propose to do?
744
00:50:01,094 --> 00:50:03,725
Clear out of the country.
America, Australia. Any old where.
745
00:50:04,230 --> 00:50:06,552
I'm .. counting on you to help me.
746
00:50:06,868 --> 00:50:08,188
I need money for my passage.
747
00:50:08,631 --> 00:50:09,630
I'm .. I'm stony.
748
00:50:11,353 --> 00:50:13,246
It won't cost much. Steerage.
749
00:50:13,691 --> 00:50:15,882
I don't see why I should concern
myself with your affairs.
750
00:50:16,414 --> 00:50:17,870
I'll land in prison if you don't.
751
00:50:19,541 --> 00:50:22,420
You're not the sort to turn anybody down
who's in trouble and needed your help.
752
00:50:23,210 --> 00:50:24,969
You wouldn't fail your
own flesh and blood.
753
00:50:25,185 --> 00:50:27,020
I'm no flesh and blood of yours, Albert.
754
00:50:27,468 --> 00:50:29,199
Won't you give me a
chance to start again?
755
00:50:29,415 --> 00:50:30,734
I promise. Cross my heart.
756
00:50:31,090 --> 00:50:33,457
I'll never do anything wrong
again for the rest of my natural.
757
00:50:33,673 --> 00:50:35,143
Let me go.
758
00:50:41,301 --> 00:50:44,030
Very well. I'll do it.
- Bless you, Ellen.
759
00:50:44,415 --> 00:50:46,973
You're a daisy, you are.
- We'll talk about it in the morning.
760
00:50:47,820 --> 00:50:50,180
You can sleep on the sofa tonight.
- I don't mind where I sleep.
761
00:50:50,396 --> 00:50:51,419
But mind you ..
762
00:50:51,635 --> 00:50:54,218
You can only stay until I've
arranged your passage on the boat.
763
00:50:54,434 --> 00:50:57,466
Anything you say,
Ellen old girl .. what's that?
764
00:50:57,983 --> 00:50:59,945
That's just the maid.
She's been out on an errand.
765
00:51:01,006 --> 00:51:02,550
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss?
766
00:51:04,518 --> 00:51:06,220
They'll be a gentleman
staying the night.
767
00:51:06,639 --> 00:51:07,819
A gentleman staying?
768
00:51:08,099 --> 00:51:09,776
A relation. He'll sleep in here.
769
00:51:10,033 --> 00:51:12,679
Now go to your room and change your
wet clothes before you start sneezing.
770
00:51:12,895 --> 00:51:15,090
Yes, Miss .. goodnight.
- Goodnight.
771
00:51:15,306 --> 00:51:16,096
Goodnight.
772
00:51:16,620 --> 00:51:17,557
'Lucy', is it?
773
00:51:19,035 --> 00:51:20,472
Yes .. Lucy.
774
00:51:23,706 --> 00:51:25,687
I fancy that's all for
tonight, aunt Ellen.
775
00:51:26,138 --> 00:51:29,180
I'll just have a weed before
I turn in. The last of the day.
776
00:51:30,306 --> 00:51:32,729
You seem to be taking this
all very lightly, Albert.
777
00:51:33,490 --> 00:51:35,166
You have told me the worst, haven't you?
778
00:51:35,601 --> 00:51:38,110
I mean, there isn't anything else?
- What else?
779
00:51:40,653 --> 00:51:42,212
There are worse things than stealing.
780
00:51:42,987 --> 00:51:43,994
For instance?
781
00:51:45,828 --> 00:51:47,359
No, there's no blood on my hands.
782
00:51:47,743 --> 00:51:49,703
Putting people out calls
for <i>real </i>nerve, you know.
783
00:51:54,270 --> 00:51:55,303
Yes.
784
00:51:59,547 --> 00:52:01,321
Goodnight, Albert.
- Nighty night.
785
00:53:12,967 --> 00:53:15,145
Did you enjoy the sermon, Mr Bates?
786
00:53:15,603 --> 00:53:16,818
Mighty powerful, Miss.
787
00:53:17,293 --> 00:53:18,797
Yes. It was, wasn't it.
788
00:53:20,284 --> 00:53:22,109
But there was a lot I didn't understand.
789
00:53:23,490 --> 00:53:24,866
The part that went ..
790
00:53:25,639 --> 00:53:26,568
How was it?
791
00:53:27,496 --> 00:53:29,004
The wicked flee.
792
00:53:30,087 --> 00:53:32,717
When no man .. pursueth.
793
00:53:34,739 --> 00:53:36,575
But .. but ..
794
00:53:38,561 --> 00:53:41,233
The righteous are as bold as a lion.
795
00:54:08,319 --> 00:54:09,297
Well.
796
00:54:10,743 --> 00:54:12,479
What do you think you're doing?
797
00:54:13,690 --> 00:54:16,840
I fooled around with this padlock
last night and it .. came off.
798
00:54:17,592 --> 00:54:18,689
You shouldn't have.
799
00:54:19,344 --> 00:54:21,297
That's where Miss Fiske
keeps her valuables.
800
00:54:21,551 --> 00:54:23,794
How does she get at them?
With a pickaxe? Look.
801
00:54:25,898 --> 00:54:28,667
Well I never. All bricked up.
802
00:54:29,531 --> 00:54:31,248
I wonder why that was done.
803
00:54:31,530 --> 00:54:33,342
It wasn't that way the
last time I was here.
804
00:54:33,821 --> 00:54:35,868
So you've had your nose
in there before, have you?
805
00:54:36,948 --> 00:54:39,174
Funny what nasty thoughts
people have sometimes, isn't it.
806
00:54:39,390 --> 00:54:41,597
Funny how they're right
sometimes, isn't it.
807
00:54:59,037 --> 00:55:01,443
I wonder why anyone would want
to brick up a place like that?
808
00:55:02,492 --> 00:55:05,171
Maybe Miss Fiske put her jewels
in there before she went away.
809
00:55:05,807 --> 00:55:08,881
You know .. she's not one to take
any chances leaving them about.
810
00:55:09,234 --> 00:55:10,530
Even with your aunt Ellen.
811
00:55:12,817 --> 00:55:15,523
If there are any sparkles in there,
I wouldn't mind having a peep at them.
812
00:55:15,748 --> 00:55:18,262
I'm sure you wouldn't.
- And neither would you, I dare say.
813
00:55:19,833 --> 00:55:24,037
In fact .. I'm sure you'd like the feel
of some around your swan-like neck.
814
00:55:26,610 --> 00:55:28,629
A pretty pink ear like
that calls for diamonds.
815
00:55:29,014 --> 00:55:31,473
A wandering hand like yours
calls for a slap in the face.
816
00:55:31,821 --> 00:55:33,675
It's wicked to slap a
man's face on a Sunday.
817
00:55:33,981 --> 00:55:35,745
The better the day, the better the deed.
818
00:55:36,179 --> 00:55:37,595
That leaves my conscience clear.
819
00:55:42,243 --> 00:55:43,680
I'll scream.
820
00:55:45,098 --> 00:55:46,140
What's that?
821
00:55:52,703 --> 00:55:55,550
What do you think I'm made of?
- Sugar and spice.
822
00:55:56,874 --> 00:55:58,131
And everything nice.
823
00:56:01,849 --> 00:56:03,164
Blimey, you're strong.
824
00:56:06,001 --> 00:56:07,586
It's a wig. Whose is it?
825
00:56:08,854 --> 00:56:10,150
It is Miss Fiske's.
826
00:56:10,705 --> 00:56:12,391
Oh, it's her best one.
827
00:56:13,295 --> 00:56:15,239
She's as bald as a coot.
- Ah.
828
00:56:15,455 --> 00:56:17,042
A wonder she didn't take it with her.
829
00:56:18,291 --> 00:56:19,267
Hello.
830
00:56:19,605 --> 00:56:22,290
Ah, she left a lot of
her fancy dresses too.
831
00:56:23,063 --> 00:56:24,930
Perhaps she'll buy some
new ones up in London?
832
00:56:25,392 --> 00:56:26,938
These are new. Most of them.
833
00:56:27,918 --> 00:56:30,059
You'd better put that back up.
- Alright.
834
00:56:30,285 --> 00:56:31,783
Get up on this chair.
835
00:56:39,798 --> 00:56:41,554
You know, it <i>is</i> odd
she only took one wig.
836
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:45,357
On a trip, anything might happen.
A fire or a gust of wind.
837
00:56:45,751 --> 00:56:46,409
Oh.
838
00:56:47,720 --> 00:56:49,195
Here's Emily coming up the path.
839
00:56:50,109 --> 00:56:51,329
You'd better be off.
840
00:56:57,184 --> 00:56:58,794
Hello my old cup of tea.
841
00:57:00,310 --> 00:57:02,634
What are you doing with those
bull-rushes? Looking for Moses?
842
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,371
You're making fun of me .. naughty boy.
843
00:57:28,649 --> 00:57:31,405
Hello Ducky .. I'm glad you're
back before the others.
844
00:57:31,964 --> 00:57:34,668
It isn't often I have the chance of
a tête-à-tête with the family's fairest.
845
00:57:34,884 --> 00:57:36,672
You're never serious
about anything, Albert.
846
00:57:36,888 --> 00:57:38,846
I was never more serious in my life.
847
00:57:40,212 --> 00:57:42,518
The storm did an enormous
amount of damage.
848
00:57:42,869 --> 00:57:45,494
Roads into Rochester and Gravesend
were completely flooded.
849
00:57:46,258 --> 00:57:48,836
The Postman told me.
- I hope they stay that way.
850
00:57:50,098 --> 00:57:51,558
Allow me, Empress.
851
00:57:52,362 --> 00:57:54,681
There's only one letter today.
It's for Miss Fiske.
852
00:57:55,047 --> 00:57:55,755
Is it?
853
00:58:01,577 --> 00:58:03,226
It's a cosy nest you got here.
854
00:58:03,605 --> 00:58:05,661
What's will happen to you
when Miss Fiske gets back?
855
00:58:05,896 --> 00:58:07,596
Will she let you stay on, do you think?
856
00:58:11,455 --> 00:58:12,701
She isn't coming back.
857
00:58:13,532 --> 00:58:14,548
Why not?
858
00:58:15,342 --> 00:58:16,575
Ellen's bought the house.
859
00:58:19,252 --> 00:58:19,924
Go on.
860
00:58:20,140 --> 00:58:21,241
Yes. It's quite true.
861
00:58:22,049 --> 00:58:23,150
It's a secret though.
862
00:58:23,366 --> 00:58:26,001
Ellen made us swear on the bible
that we wouldn't tell anyone.
863
00:58:26,218 --> 00:58:28,300
But you are one of the family.
So it's alright.
864
00:58:29,873 --> 00:58:31,661
Why should she want
to keep it a secret, eh?
865
00:58:31,877 --> 00:58:33,636
I don't know.
It was done in a great hurry.
866
00:58:33,873 --> 00:58:35,534
Louisa and I were sent off to Rochester.
867
00:58:35,750 --> 00:58:38,669
Then when we came back that night,
Miss Fiske was gone and it was all over.
868
00:58:40,902 --> 00:58:42,862
You won't tell Ellen I told
you, will you, Albert?
869
00:58:43,234 --> 00:58:43,975
No.
870
00:58:45,212 --> 00:58:47,000
We'll make that our
little secret, shall we?
871
00:58:47,335 --> 00:58:48,064
Alright.
872
00:58:50,086 --> 00:58:52,513
It will be rather fun.
Having a secret from Ellen.
873
00:58:53,143 --> 00:58:55,628
She thinks she's the clever one.
But she isn't.
874
00:58:57,109 --> 00:58:57,924
Not always.
875
00:58:59,816 --> 00:59:00,402
No.
876
00:59:01,225 --> 00:59:02,040
Not always.
877
00:59:17,517 --> 00:59:19,294
Albert.
- What?
878
00:59:25,153 --> 00:59:26,418
Good morning.
879
00:59:28,974 --> 00:59:30,034
May we come in?
880
00:59:30,250 --> 00:59:32,261
Who's that?
- A couple of nuns from The Priory.
881
00:59:33,048 --> 00:59:36,099
You talk to them, Albert.
I've got to tidy up the orchard.
882
00:59:47,032 --> 00:59:51,087
Oh .. I didn't know there was
a young man staying here.
883
00:59:51,632 --> 00:59:52,844
Is Miss Ellen about?
884
00:59:53,060 --> 00:59:55,956
Sorry. She's gone over to the church at
Cawley. I'm her nephew, can I help?
885
00:59:56,487 --> 01:00:00,357
We came to return this. She lent us
a little oil last night. We ran short.
886
01:00:00,792 --> 01:00:02,060
Thanks.
- Yes, and this.
887
01:00:02,634 --> 01:00:04,846
The rent for the little field.
Your aunt will understand.
888
01:00:05,106 --> 01:00:06,179
I'll give it to her.
889
01:00:06,395 --> 01:00:08,788
We are so looking forward
to Miss Fiske's return.
890
01:00:09,371 --> 01:00:10,864
She's a dear friend of ours.
891
01:00:11,239 --> 01:00:14,646
Oh .. have you .. heard from her lately?
892
01:00:15,031 --> 01:00:16,218
No, not a word.
893
01:00:16,752 --> 01:00:19,335
I think the Reverend Mother is
a trifle hurt she hasn't written.
894
01:00:19,678 --> 01:00:22,281
In fact, she didn't even tell
us she was going away.
895
01:00:22,777 --> 01:00:25,295
Not very chummy, was it.
- No, it wasn't.
896
01:00:26,837 --> 01:00:28,232
Good morning.
- Good morning.
897
01:01:05,242 --> 01:01:07,671
Now what are you up to?
- Fetch me a knife, Ducky.
898
01:01:15,499 --> 01:01:17,170
What's that?
- A letter for Miss Fiske.
899
01:01:17,511 --> 01:01:19,943
You're not going to open it?
- No. Wouldn't think of it.
900
01:01:24,242 --> 01:01:25,431
What's it say?
901
01:01:26,201 --> 01:01:28,502
'Dear Madam.
Regarding your instructions ..'
902
01:01:28,718 --> 01:01:31,591
'To forward the amount of the
enclosed cheque in 5-pound notes'.
903
01:01:32,239 --> 01:01:36,889
'Your signature appears to differ from
that with which we are acquainted'.
904
01:01:38,793 --> 01:01:41,444
'We should be obliged if you
could kindly confirm same ..'
905
01:01:41,845 --> 01:01:44,354
'By signing it afresh.
In your usual manner'.
906
01:01:48,582 --> 01:01:49,634
Fifty pounds.
907
01:01:50,633 --> 01:01:51,591
Notice the date.
908
01:01:52,218 --> 01:01:53,703
'October 14th'.
909
01:01:54,794 --> 01:01:57,258
That's three days ago.
She's been gone longer than that.
910
01:01:57,803 --> 01:01:59,484
Since the beginning of September.
911
01:02:00,292 --> 01:02:02,329
She probably made it
out from wherever she is.
912
01:02:02,949 --> 01:02:04,986
Yes, she could have. Hey, wait a minute.
913
01:02:06,442 --> 01:02:08,765
In that case, why did they
send the reply to her here?
914
01:02:10,183 --> 01:02:11,666
You see who it's made payable to?
915
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:14,680
Ellen Creed.
916
01:02:15,506 --> 01:02:17,785
What of it? I expect it's
the housekeeping money.
917
01:02:18,380 --> 01:02:21,488
Maybe. Where's the glue-pot?
- Over there.
918
01:02:21,704 --> 01:02:23,015
Get it for me.
919
01:02:28,096 --> 01:02:30,146
Dip your finger in it.
- I should say not.
920
01:02:30,516 --> 01:02:31,817
I've had no hand in this.
921
01:02:33,119 --> 01:02:33,963
Haven't you?
922
01:02:35,383 --> 01:02:37,379
You are a filthy pig.
- Go on. Seal it up.
923
01:02:38,971 --> 01:02:39,930
Go on.
924
01:02:44,402 --> 01:02:46,276
Don't forget.
You're in this as deep as me now.
925
01:02:46,550 --> 01:02:48,124
I wish you'd never come here.
926
01:02:48,888 --> 01:02:51,488
I don't know what comes over
me when you're around.
927
01:02:52,752 --> 01:02:54,483
You won't give me away
to Ellen, will you?
928
01:02:54,699 --> 01:02:56,230
I won't if you keep your mouth shut.
929
01:03:03,357 --> 01:03:06,241
Here come the performing seals.
Not a word, mind you.
930
01:03:17,604 --> 01:03:18,397
Albert.
931
01:03:18,622 --> 01:03:20,252
Hello, aunts .. had a nice pray?
932
01:03:20,492 --> 01:03:22,114
You should have been at church, Albert.
933
01:03:22,576 --> 01:03:24,609
The minister told us all about Hell.
934
01:03:25,016 --> 01:03:27,336
You'd have enjoyed the
bit about the lost souls ..
935
01:03:27,682 --> 01:03:29,251
Sizzling in the bottomless pit.
936
01:03:29,554 --> 01:03:31,970
Would I now? Sounds frightening.
937
01:03:32,540 --> 01:03:34,859
Ellen .. where is Hell?
938
01:03:37,451 --> 01:03:39,443
Hell is like the Kingdom of Heaven.
939
01:03:41,672 --> 01:03:42,552
It is within.
940
01:03:43,037 --> 01:03:43,995
That reminds me.
941
01:03:44,310 --> 01:03:45,926
One of your religious friends was here.
942
01:03:46,258 --> 01:03:49,076
She left you this.
It's the rent for some field or other.
943
01:03:50,580 --> 01:03:52,568
She didn't see you, did she?
- I couldn't avoid it.
944
01:03:52,784 --> 01:03:54,258
That was Sister Theresa.
945
01:03:55,171 --> 01:03:59,138
She's Miss Fiske's friend. She doesn't
like us any more than Miss Fiske did.
946
01:03:59,974 --> 01:04:01,311
Didn't Miss Fiske like you?
947
01:04:01,981 --> 01:04:03,098
She was horrid to us.
948
01:04:03,344 --> 01:04:05,103
Louisa, run upstairs
and change your dress.
949
01:04:05,417 --> 01:04:07,148
You can't sit around
in your best all day.
950
01:04:07,445 --> 01:04:08,575
No. I shan't, shall I.
951
01:04:09,221 --> 01:04:10,348
No. Of course not.
952
01:04:12,538 --> 01:04:13,819
Albert.
- Huh?
953
01:04:14,096 --> 01:04:16,776
I don't want you to mention Miss Fiske
again in front of my sisters.
954
01:04:17,336 --> 01:04:18,819
They quarrelled with her.
955
01:04:19,382 --> 01:04:21,392
And it upsets them very
much to talk about her.
956
01:04:22,012 --> 01:04:23,364
Sorry. Nobody told me.
957
01:04:24,555 --> 01:04:26,055
What did you quarrel about?
958
01:04:26,666 --> 01:04:28,328
I didn't say I quarrelled with her.
959
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,220
Would she by any chance be the friend
you lit those candles for last night?
960
01:04:37,276 --> 01:04:38,187
Yes.
961
01:04:39,145 --> 01:04:40,469
When did she die?
962
01:04:42,779 --> 01:04:43,699
Die?
963
01:04:44,779 --> 01:04:46,516
Who said anything about her being dead?
964
01:04:47,042 --> 01:04:50,858
I just assumed she was.
You don't light candles for the living.
965
01:04:51,493 --> 01:04:53,352
Do you?
- I don't know.
966
01:04:54,178 --> 01:04:55,831
I just thought they stood for prayer.
967
01:04:56,685 --> 01:04:58,451
I must find Emily.
- By the way.
968
01:04:58,779 --> 01:05:00,614
The postman gave her
a letter for Miss Fiske.
969
01:05:00,911 --> 01:05:02,450
From her bank, I believe.
970
01:05:03,202 --> 01:05:04,375
Give it to me.
971
01:05:14,895 --> 01:05:16,951
I'm managing all her
affairs while she's away.
972
01:05:29,109 --> 01:05:31,579
Anything important?
- Yes, rather.
973
01:05:32,625 --> 01:05:34,512
I must get an answer
in the post immediately.
974
01:05:39,075 --> 01:05:40,763
A stylish looking piano you've got here.
975
01:05:41,029 --> 01:05:43,016
Don't distract me, Albert.
I must concentrate.
976
01:05:43,301 --> 01:05:45,026
I'm sorry. Don't mind me, auntie.
977
01:05:59,907 --> 01:06:01,335
I say, you are up to date.
978
01:06:02,020 --> 01:06:04,648
I didn't expect to find a copy of
The Mikado way out here on the marshes.
979
01:06:10,467 --> 01:06:12,747
[ Whistling song: Tit-Willow ]
980
01:06:20,224 --> 01:06:21,491
Don't do that.
981
01:06:22,064 --> 01:06:24,252
I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to distract you.
982
01:06:25,378 --> 01:06:27,960
It's just I happen to dislike that
particular tune. That's all.
983
01:06:28,261 --> 01:06:29,932
It's a bit on the morbid side.
984
01:06:35,775 --> 01:06:37,740
Miss Ellen, how soon
will you want dinner?
985
01:06:38,044 --> 01:06:39,402
In a quarter of an hour, Lucy.
986
01:06:39,624 --> 01:06:41,383
I'll just post this
letter at the crossing.
987
01:06:41,801 --> 01:06:42,788
Let me go, Ellen.
988
01:06:43,019 --> 01:06:44,372
I can do with a sniff of air.
989
01:06:44,588 --> 01:06:46,710
No thank you.
I prefer to attend to this myself.
990
01:07:20,938 --> 01:07:22,723
What are you up to now?
991
01:07:23,124 --> 01:07:24,998
She just wrote a reply to
the letter we opened.
992
01:07:25,426 --> 01:07:27,560
I thought it would be interesting
to see what she says.
993
01:07:28,703 --> 01:07:29,518
'Dear sir'.
994
01:07:30,198 --> 01:07:30,956
'Cheque'.
995
01:07:31,301 --> 01:07:32,168
Something.
996
01:07:32,562 --> 01:07:33,406
'Incorrect'.
997
01:07:34,231 --> 01:07:35,018
Something.
998
01:07:35,529 --> 01:07:36,258
'Owing'.
999
01:07:36,987 --> 01:07:38,671
Something, something.
1000
01:07:39,444 --> 01:07:40,350
'Wrist'.
1001
01:07:41,875 --> 01:07:43,870
What does that word
look like to you? See.
1002
01:07:44,636 --> 01:07:47,233
'S .. p .. r ..'
1003
01:07:47,779 --> 01:07:48,718
S .. p .. r.
1004
01:07:49,226 --> 01:07:50,685
'Sprained'. That's it.
1005
01:07:51,092 --> 01:07:52,394
'Owing to a sprained wrist'.
1006
01:07:53,878 --> 01:07:54,922
Something. 'Yours'.
1007
01:07:55,374 --> 01:07:56,225
'Leonora'.
1008
01:07:57,357 --> 01:07:58,758
'Leonora Fiske'.
1009
01:08:01,625 --> 01:08:03,040
She signed it 'Leonora Fiske'.
1010
01:08:03,525 --> 01:08:04,684
What's it mean, Albert?
1011
01:08:05,493 --> 01:08:06,665
What do you think?
1012
01:08:07,266 --> 01:08:09,506
It looks as if she's pretending
to be Miss Fiske.
1013
01:08:10,308 --> 01:08:12,239
Getting money on the strength of it.
- Brilliant.
1014
01:08:12,455 --> 01:08:13,845
If that's true, she's a thief.
1015
01:08:14,342 --> 01:08:15,535
Like you.
- Shut up.
1016
01:08:18,319 --> 01:08:20,417
What will happen when
Miss Fiske comes back?
1017
01:08:23,624 --> 01:08:25,061
Suppose she isn't coming back?
1018
01:08:26,187 --> 01:08:29,149
Suppose she's died somewhere.
And Ellen is the only one who knows.
1019
01:08:29,485 --> 01:08:31,229
You can't die and only
one person know it.
1020
01:08:31,445 --> 01:08:32,744
Can't you? I'm not so sure.
1021
01:08:34,460 --> 01:08:35,600
One thing I do know.
1022
01:08:35,906 --> 01:08:38,896
She'd never risk it unless she knew
Miss Fiske was out of the way for good.
1023
01:08:39,955 --> 01:08:43,091
Alright .. assume she's dead.
Aunt Ellen is having the funds.
1024
01:08:43,645 --> 01:08:45,721
It might be years before
anybody would find out.
1025
01:08:48,011 --> 01:08:49,815
Why should she reap all the benefit?
1026
01:08:55,455 --> 01:08:57,100
There may be some pickings in it for us.
1027
01:08:57,481 --> 01:08:59,841
Would you like to see a bit of the
world? Have some fun with me?
1028
01:09:00,057 --> 01:09:01,907
You'd tempt Old Nick
himself, wouldn't you?
1029
01:09:02,123 --> 01:09:03,540
You've got to help me get proof.
1030
01:09:03,775 --> 01:09:05,763
I don't want to do anything
mean or underhanded.
1031
01:09:06,113 --> 01:09:09,069
Would I ask you to? Use your eyes
and keep your ears open. That's all.
1032
01:09:09,863 --> 01:09:10,821
What do you say?
1033
01:09:11,696 --> 01:09:12,720
I don't know.
1034
01:09:12,936 --> 01:09:14,752
Perhaps this will help
you make up your mind.
1035
01:09:20,189 --> 01:09:22,321
Well?
- I'll help you, Albert.
1036
01:09:23,541 --> 01:09:25,685
Here she comes. Look sharp now.
Back to the kitchen.
1037
01:10:47,655 --> 01:10:48,984
She's coming.
1038
01:10:49,341 --> 01:10:51,214
Blimey. You almost made
me frightened myself.
1039
01:10:51,698 --> 01:10:53,567
Hurry up, hurry up.
- Alright. Shut up.
1040
01:10:57,097 --> 01:10:59,119
Hey, go in the kitchen
and make some tea.
1041
01:11:00,769 --> 01:11:03,053
Take this with you. Go on, hurry.
1042
01:11:08,868 --> 01:11:10,408
Goodnight, Bates.
- Night, ma'am.
1043
01:11:10,665 --> 01:11:12,424
Don't forget.
Ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
1044
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:13,710
Very good, ma'am.
1045
01:11:24,420 --> 01:11:25,960
Did you have a successful trip?
1046
01:11:29,358 --> 01:11:30,324
Yes.
1047
01:11:31,452 --> 01:11:32,615
I have your ticket.
1048
01:11:33,462 --> 01:11:35,112
You leave tomorrow.
1049
01:11:36,730 --> 01:11:37,873
Do I?
1050
01:11:38,909 --> 01:11:41,037
Where are my sisters?
- I sent them off to bed.
1051
01:11:41,594 --> 01:11:44,567
They were getting a little out of hand.
- I dare say it wasn't their fault.
1052
01:11:45,180 --> 01:11:46,694
Lucy is making some hot tea.
1053
01:11:47,190 --> 01:11:48,628
We thought you might be cold.
1054
01:11:49,171 --> 01:11:51,500
I'll be down again .. as soon as
I've said goodnight to them.
1055
01:12:05,306 --> 01:12:06,436
Is everything alright?
1056
01:12:06,652 --> 01:12:09,253
No it's not. She's packing me off
tomorrow. We've got to move fast.
1057
01:12:10,013 --> 01:12:14,109
You haven't changed your mind, have you?
- I couldn't refuse you anything .. now.
1058
01:12:17,711 --> 01:12:20,732
We thought you'd never come,
Ellen .. I was frightened.
1059
01:12:21,412 --> 01:12:22,227
Frightened?
1060
01:12:22,443 --> 01:12:24,128
Yes, they were such funny noises.
1061
01:12:24,896 --> 01:12:26,049
It was only the rats.
1062
01:12:27,710 --> 01:12:29,343
What have you been doing all evening?
1063
01:12:29,794 --> 01:12:33,166
We played a game of cribbage.
Of course, Albert cheated.
1064
01:12:33,475 --> 01:12:35,420
But it was rather fun
watching him cheat.
1065
01:12:36,156 --> 01:12:38,001
He hasn't said anything
about Miss Fiske?
1066
01:12:38,432 --> 01:12:39,681
No.
- Miss Fiske?
1067
01:12:41,073 --> 01:12:41,974
Why should he?
1068
01:12:42,322 --> 01:12:44,819
And neither of you spoke to him
about my buying the house?
1069
01:12:45,173 --> 01:12:46,021
No, Ellen.
1070
01:12:46,441 --> 01:12:47,399
Do you remember?
1071
01:12:47,678 --> 01:12:49,855
You made us swear on
the bible we wouldn't.
1072
01:12:53,352 --> 01:12:55,327
I think you'd better go to
sleep now, both of you.
1073
01:12:55,778 --> 01:12:58,491
I'm going downstairs to have a
hot cup of tea before I go to bed.
1074
01:13:11,633 --> 01:13:14,151
Albert, do you think ..?
- Pour the tea, Lucy.
1075
01:13:21,955 --> 01:13:24,408
Thank you Lucy. You may go to bed now.
- Yes, Miss Ellen.
1076
01:13:24,946 --> 01:13:26,345
Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
1077
01:13:36,366 --> 01:13:37,639
Auntie, where is your cane?
1078
01:13:38,312 --> 01:13:40,981
You look like you'd like to take down
my breeches and give me a dozen.
1079
01:13:42,223 --> 01:13:45,038
There's a boat sailing for Canada
on Friday. You sail with it.
1080
01:13:46,295 --> 01:13:47,826
I'm not sure I want to go to Canada.
1081
01:13:48,849 --> 01:13:49,693
Yet a while.
1082
01:13:50,173 --> 01:13:51,779
You haven't much choice, have you?
1083
01:13:52,201 --> 01:13:54,201
I don't know. I'm getting
quite fond of this place.
1084
01:13:54,463 --> 01:13:57,278
The air suits me .. I'm very
happy here for the time being.
1085
01:13:57,793 --> 01:13:59,765
I'm not happy having you here.
- Why?
1086
01:14:01,027 --> 01:14:03,956
It isn't safe since Sister Theresa
knows you're staying here with us.
1087
01:14:04,613 --> 01:14:07,129
The wrong sort of talk would bring
the police around here in no time.
1088
01:14:07,692 --> 01:14:09,826
I don't propose to risk a
scandal on your account.
1089
01:14:10,979 --> 01:14:12,484
There's more to it than that.
1090
01:14:13,552 --> 01:14:14,914
Lucy is apt to talk.
1091
01:14:15,787 --> 01:14:17,383
I don't think we need worry about her.
1092
01:14:18,557 --> 01:14:20,578
No. You've made sure of that.
1093
01:14:21,269 --> 01:14:24,026
Whatever do you mean by that?
- You know what, you cheap little ..
1094
01:14:24,454 --> 01:14:26,419
Stop it Ellen.
You'll make me lose my temper.
1095
01:14:26,784 --> 01:14:27,717
Your temper?
1096
01:14:27,975 --> 01:14:30,803
You leave first thing in the morning.
That's the end of you and your temper.
1097
01:14:31,019 --> 01:14:32,487
I shouldn't try to bluff me.
1098
01:14:32,885 --> 01:14:36,020
I'm not bluffing you. I order you.
- If I don't choose to be ordered?
1099
01:14:36,755 --> 01:14:39,395
I can't throw you out physically.
But I can send for the police.
1100
01:14:39,611 --> 01:14:40,765
And have your scandal?
1101
01:14:41,425 --> 01:14:43,625
Really, you're being very
inconsistent now, auntie dear.
1102
01:14:47,747 --> 01:14:49,119
You won't send for the police.
1103
01:14:50,349 --> 01:14:51,841
Why are you so sure?
1104
01:14:52,573 --> 01:14:53,992
Because you've another reason.
1105
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:56,914
A more important reason for
not wanting the police here.
1106
01:14:57,546 --> 01:14:59,799
For wanting me out of this
house as quickly as possible.
1107
01:15:01,265 --> 01:15:02,936
As a matter of fact, you are right.
1108
01:15:03,339 --> 01:15:04,889
Now we get down to brass tacks.
1109
01:15:09,192 --> 01:15:11,134
Did it concern Miss Fiske by any chance?
1110
01:15:12,843 --> 01:15:14,271
It would and it does.
1111
01:15:15,303 --> 01:15:18,769
I met her in town today.
She's coming back.
1112
01:15:21,002 --> 01:15:24,068
She's coming back?
- And why shouldn't she?
1113
01:15:25,444 --> 01:15:27,138
I thought she'd gone for good.
1114
01:15:27,641 --> 01:15:29,345
How utterly absurd of you, Albert.
1115
01:15:29,950 --> 01:15:32,232
There has never been any
question of her not coming back.
1116
01:15:33,753 --> 01:15:35,532
Why didn't you say
so in the first place?
1117
01:15:35,748 --> 01:15:37,942
You played the fool so much
with Louisa and Emily.
1118
01:15:39,190 --> 01:15:40,693
I was afraid you'd blurt it out.
1119
01:15:42,481 --> 01:15:44,355
As it is, I'll have to
break it to them gently.
1120
01:15:44,571 --> 01:15:46,477
Because it means
they will have to go too.
1121
01:15:51,855 --> 01:15:53,989
My little country holiday has
obviously come to an end.
1122
01:15:54,843 --> 01:15:56,734
I don't know what the
blazes I'll do in Canada.
1123
01:15:56,950 --> 01:15:59,119
I suppose one can starve there
as well as anywhere else.
1124
01:15:59,677 --> 01:16:00,790
You'll get on.
1125
01:16:01,757 --> 01:16:03,762
I'll give you a little
something to start off with.
1126
01:16:04,659 --> 01:16:05,908
For your mother's sake.
1127
01:16:06,405 --> 01:16:08,376
I suppose I should extend
my most humble thanks.
1128
01:16:08,668 --> 01:16:10,540
No. That from you would be too much.
1129
01:16:11,034 --> 01:16:13,664
If that's all we have to say to each
other, I may as well get up to bed.
1130
01:16:32,163 --> 01:16:34,237
A good night's sleep wouldn't
do you any harm, either.
1131
01:16:35,093 --> 01:16:36,483
You look a bit played out.
1132
01:16:42,139 --> 01:16:43,698
I must lock up first.
1133
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,157
Will I be seeing you in the
morning before I leave?
1134
01:16:49,557 --> 01:16:50,486
Yes.
1135
01:16:59,735 --> 01:17:01,070
I forgot to tell you, auntie.
1136
01:17:02,138 --> 01:17:03,848
I had a funny dream last night.
1137
01:17:05,052 --> 01:17:05,796
Did you?
1138
01:17:08,636 --> 01:17:10,288
I dreamt Miss Fiske was dead.
1139
01:17:17,761 --> 01:17:20,112
Goodnight, auntie.
- Goodnight, Albert.
1140
01:18:52,767 --> 01:18:54,268
Miss Fiske ..
1141
01:19:06,554 --> 01:19:07,625
Albert.
1142
01:19:08,620 --> 01:19:09,497
Albert!
1143
01:19:48,544 --> 01:19:49,617
Good morning, Bates.
1144
01:19:49,833 --> 01:19:52,997
Miss Creed ordered me. It's about the
train, but she didn't say which one.
1145
01:19:53,823 --> 01:19:54,626
Bates.
1146
01:19:55,260 --> 01:19:56,975
Cancel it. Miss Creed's
not feeling well.
1147
01:19:57,382 --> 01:19:59,134
Nothing serious I hope, sir?
1148
01:19:59,716 --> 01:20:00,845
No. Nothing serious.
1149
01:20:01,576 --> 01:20:03,714
In that case, I'd better hop along.
1150
01:20:11,215 --> 01:20:13,479
She did look ill when I
took in her early tea.
1151
01:20:13,844 --> 01:20:15,160
I wish we hadn't done it.
1152
01:20:15,376 --> 01:20:17,754
Pull yourself together.
You'll ruin everything. Go on upstairs.
1153
01:20:18,116 --> 01:20:20,071
She might have died.
- Shut up.
1154
01:20:22,419 --> 01:20:24,304
Well she didn't. And we
proved what we wanted.
1155
01:20:24,605 --> 01:20:27,046
Miss Fiske is dead and she knows it.
- I wonder when she died.
1156
01:20:27,262 --> 01:20:30,193
One more go, and I'll tell you when
and how, she died. Now, go on upstairs.
1157
01:20:32,234 --> 01:20:33,778
What did Bates want, Albert?
1158
01:20:34,469 --> 01:20:37,339
He brought the news from the outside
world. It will tickle you to death.
1159
01:20:37,669 --> 01:20:39,500
Wigs and whiskers are
coming back in again.
1160
01:20:39,795 --> 01:20:41,748
I don't think this is a
time for joking, Albert.
1161
01:20:42,024 --> 01:20:43,268
With Ellen the way she is.
1162
01:20:43,484 --> 01:20:45,673
You take this thing too seriously,
my old brussels sprout.
1163
01:20:45,906 --> 01:20:48,296
She was walking in her sleep
and had a nightmare. That's all.
1164
01:20:48,857 --> 01:20:50,738
It wasn't a nightmare, Albert.
1165
01:20:52,979 --> 01:20:56,425
Oh .. what was it then?
- She says she saw a ghost.
1166
01:20:58,326 --> 01:21:00,241
In that case, lay another
place for breakfast.
1167
01:21:01,837 --> 01:21:04,083
Do you really think
it was a ghost, Emily?
1168
01:21:04,814 --> 01:21:08,147
If it were only a nightmare,
we wouldn't have heard it too.
1169
01:21:09,095 --> 01:21:12,379
Heard what?
- The music. Miss Fiske's music.
1170
01:21:13,216 --> 01:21:14,174
You know, Emily.
1171
01:21:14,512 --> 01:21:16,786
I'm sometimes afraid Miss Fiske
will get the better of Ellen.
1172
01:21:17,358 --> 01:21:20,210
I sometimes think she wants
to come back and turn us out.
1173
01:21:20,570 --> 01:21:23,299
I think Miss Fiske is here .. now.
1174
01:21:24,166 --> 01:21:27,506
Well .. what are you
two whispering about?
1175
01:21:28,354 --> 01:21:30,821
Hadn't you better go for your walk now?
- Yes, Ellen.
1176
01:21:31,124 --> 01:21:32,605
Anything you say, Ellen.
1177
01:21:46,684 --> 01:21:48,838
Do you think you're
strong enough to be up?
1178
01:21:49,303 --> 01:21:52,031
Yes, dear. I'm quite alright now.
- Hadn't you better have a doctor?
1179
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,336
No. A doctor couldn't do any good.
1180
01:22:01,118 --> 01:22:03,274
Why are you two standing
there like a couple of owls?
1181
01:22:04,315 --> 01:22:05,674
Emily has been frightening me.
1182
01:22:05,890 --> 01:22:07,724
You've been imagining
things, both of you.
1183
01:22:07,940 --> 01:22:09,719
Now, run along for your walk.
1184
01:22:10,194 --> 01:22:12,573
Whatever you say, Ellen. You know best.
1185
01:22:47,533 --> 01:22:48,748
Good morning, aunt Ellen.
1186
01:22:52,429 --> 01:22:53,848
We didn't expect you down today.
1187
01:22:55,144 --> 01:22:56,748
Why aren't you ready yet?
1188
01:22:57,416 --> 01:22:58,898
Bates will be here at any moment.
1189
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:01,876
Bates has been here and
gone .. I sent him away.
1190
01:23:02,599 --> 01:23:04,832
What do you mean by interfering
with my arrangements?
1191
01:23:05,087 --> 01:23:07,308
I didn't like to go and leave
you not feeling well.
1192
01:23:07,829 --> 01:23:09,585
I'm quite recovered now, thank you.
1193
01:23:10,535 --> 01:23:12,151
It was a queer turn you had last night.
1194
01:23:13,012 --> 01:23:13,913
What happened?
1195
01:23:16,155 --> 01:23:17,012
Nothing.
1196
01:23:17,529 --> 01:23:19,792
You know, you should really do
something about your nerves.
1197
01:23:20,064 --> 01:23:22,710
This isn't the first time you've walked
in your sleep, according to Emily.
1198
01:23:23,866 --> 01:23:24,996
What's Emily told you?
1199
01:23:25,212 --> 01:23:26,370
Just the usual chatter.
1200
01:23:27,566 --> 01:23:30,648
They do say that people who walk in
their sleep have a guilty conscience.
1201
01:23:32,807 --> 01:23:34,722
What's behind that remark, Albert?
1202
01:23:35,877 --> 01:23:36,788
Nothing.
1203
01:23:56,997 --> 01:23:58,016
You know.
1204
01:23:58,692 --> 01:23:59,725
Uhuh.
1205
01:24:07,734 --> 01:24:09,783
Then it was you last night?
- Yes.
1206
01:24:10,635 --> 01:24:12,786
Me and Lucy.
- She knows too?
1207
01:24:13,435 --> 01:24:16,579
Not what I know. That's something you
and I are going to keep to ourselves.
1208
01:24:17,454 --> 01:24:19,302
Provided of course, you treat me right.
1209
01:24:21,351 --> 01:24:22,852
What are you going to do?
1210
01:24:24,955 --> 01:24:26,342
As I said, I'm very happy here.
1211
01:24:26,974 --> 01:24:29,880
I think with your financial help I'll
be able to adjust things at the bank.
1212
01:24:30,486 --> 01:24:33,462
And we can all settle down in peace.
A contented little family.
1213
01:24:38,699 --> 01:24:40,639
You mean, you propose
to go on living here?
1214
01:24:41,042 --> 01:24:42,511
With me?
- Why not?
1215
01:24:43,380 --> 01:24:45,003
You'd never be quite sure, would you?
1216
01:24:45,991 --> 01:24:47,704
You might not enjoy your meals.
1217
01:24:51,328 --> 01:24:53,741
You wouldn't dare .. a second time.
1218
01:24:54,750 --> 01:24:57,031
It takes a lot of courage to
kill for the first time, Albert.
1219
01:24:57,830 --> 01:25:00,317
Once you've sold your soul to
the Devil it becomes easier.
1220
01:25:01,558 --> 01:25:02,675
Much easier.
1221
01:25:03,887 --> 01:25:07,713
Alright .. give me £500 and I'll clear
out for good. And keep my mouth shut.
1222
01:25:07,933 --> 01:25:10,215
I'm not afraid of you, Albert.
And your shabby little tricks.
1223
01:25:10,666 --> 01:25:13,323
In the middle of the night, you may
fancy yourself cutting quite a figure.
1224
01:25:13,980 --> 01:25:15,595
It's broad daylight now.
1225
01:25:16,055 --> 01:25:17,426
[ Door knocks ]
1226
01:25:22,761 --> 01:25:23,944
It's those nuns.
1227
01:25:24,482 --> 01:25:27,362
Get that out of sight.
And yourself with it.
1228
01:25:31,659 --> 01:25:33,002
[ Door knocks ]
1229
01:25:38,532 --> 01:25:41,311
Good day, Sisters.
- I must talk to you, right away.
1230
01:25:41,857 --> 01:25:43,121
Are you alone?
- Yes.
1231
01:25:43,889 --> 01:25:44,905
What's the matter?
1232
01:25:45,241 --> 01:25:48,898
It's really none of my business
and I shouldn't have come but ..
1233
01:25:49,781 --> 01:25:52,419
The police. They've been to the Priory.
- What about?
1234
01:25:52,973 --> 01:25:54,653
They're searching for a young man.
1235
01:25:55,095 --> 01:25:57,671
Who stole money from a
bank over Gravesend way.
1236
01:25:58,212 --> 01:26:01,295
And from the description,
I suspect it was your nephew.
1237
01:26:01,945 --> 01:26:05,639
I thought if he were told, he might
have a chance to do the right thing.
1238
01:26:06,213 --> 01:26:07,596
And give himself up.
1239
01:26:08,675 --> 01:26:10,261
It is your nephew?
- Yes.
1240
01:26:10,825 --> 01:26:14,130
But they mustn't search here.
- They've gone to the Coyne farm first.
1241
01:26:14,553 --> 01:26:16,139
I heard one of them say so.
1242
01:26:17,097 --> 01:26:20,813
Oh Miss Ellen. Have I done
wrong in coming to warn you?
1243
01:26:22,345 --> 01:26:23,773
I don't know, Sister.
1244
01:26:24,730 --> 01:26:26,719
I had a brother rather like that.
1245
01:26:27,632 --> 01:26:28,938
He went wrong too.
1246
01:26:30,148 --> 01:26:33,618
People are so easily lost, aren't they?
1247
01:26:34,524 --> 01:26:35,575
Yes they are.
1248
01:26:36,083 --> 01:26:38,511
Poor girl. You have so many burdens.
1249
01:26:39,161 --> 01:26:40,320
If you refer to Albert.
1250
01:26:40,901 --> 01:26:42,388
He means absolutely nothing to me.
1251
01:26:43,143 --> 01:26:44,543
No-one does, for that matter.
1252
01:26:45,350 --> 01:26:46,843
Except Emily and Louisa.
1253
01:26:48,365 --> 01:26:53,486
If, any time, we can do anything to make
things easier for you or your sisters ..
1254
01:26:54,242 --> 01:26:56,078
Don't hesitate to turn to us.
1255
01:26:56,401 --> 01:26:58,181
That's very kind of you, Sister Theresa.
1256
01:26:58,843 --> 01:27:00,509
But you know, we're not of your faith.
1257
01:27:01,152 --> 01:27:04,017
In my Father's house are many mansions.
1258
01:27:10,324 --> 01:27:11,797
Blimey, I thought they'd never go.
1259
01:27:12,013 --> 01:27:13,715
Thanks for putting in
a good word for me.
1260
01:27:15,247 --> 01:27:16,837
The Coyne farm, is it?
1261
01:27:17,115 --> 01:27:19,332
That will give me a chance to
get behind them to the river.
1262
01:27:19,548 --> 01:27:21,951
Hurry. There's no time to lose.
- Yes, I'll get my clothes.
1263
01:27:36,482 --> 01:27:37,496
Lucy.
1264
01:27:38,970 --> 01:27:40,574
Why are you staring at me like that?
1265
01:27:47,259 --> 01:27:48,389
You've been listening.
1266
01:27:52,279 --> 01:27:53,011
Lucy.
1267
01:27:53,847 --> 01:27:55,077
Lucy, come back.
1268
01:27:56,673 --> 01:27:57,922
Lucy, come back.
1269
01:28:00,607 --> 01:28:01,729
What's up?
1270
01:28:04,948 --> 01:28:05,763
What is it?
1271
01:28:06,671 --> 01:28:07,700
Lucy's run off.
1272
01:28:08,543 --> 01:28:09,842
She was listening.
1273
01:28:11,899 --> 01:28:13,091
Turn me in, would she?
1274
01:28:13,589 --> 01:28:15,946
I've got to move fast.
Where's that money and boat ticket?
1275
01:28:21,783 --> 01:28:23,304
You mean, she heard all about that?
1276
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:28,225
Yes.
1277
01:28:29,117 --> 01:28:31,860
Hey .. you'd better
make a dash for it too.
1278
01:28:46,271 --> 01:28:47,740
Don't stand there mooning about.
1279
01:28:48,092 --> 01:28:49,909
Put your things on and
let's get out of here.
1280
01:28:52,816 --> 01:28:53,999
I'm not going.
1281
01:28:56,844 --> 01:28:58,130
Are you out of your mind?
1282
01:29:01,266 --> 01:29:03,883
You know what they'll do to you?
- You'd better hurry, Albert.
1283
01:29:04,966 --> 01:29:06,581
Well, if that don't beat the cards.
1284
01:29:08,780 --> 01:29:09,710
Well then ..
1285
01:29:11,785 --> 01:29:14,516
So long Ellen .. no hard feelings.
1286
01:29:49,217 --> 01:29:50,486
Ellen, it was so funny.
1287
01:29:50,849 --> 01:29:51,893
We just saw Albert.
1288
01:29:52,306 --> 01:29:53,808
He was playing 'tag' with some men.
1289
01:29:54,130 --> 01:29:56,069
He didn't win. They caught him.
1290
01:29:56,413 --> 01:29:57,556
He got quite annoyed.
1291
01:30:00,436 --> 01:30:02,922
Ellen, look.
We found a lot of jackdaw feathers.
1292
01:30:03,297 --> 01:30:05,846
We're going to tie them into
bundles and make little dusters.
1293
01:30:07,021 --> 01:30:08,492
Where are you going?
1294
01:30:10,172 --> 01:30:11,816
I'm going to Coyne farm.
1295
01:30:12,298 --> 01:30:14,852
There are some gentlemen there from
Gravesend and I want to see them.
1296
01:30:15,068 --> 01:30:16,974
You won't bring them
back here, will you Ellen.
1297
01:30:17,228 --> 01:30:19,134
It's so nice and peaceful by ourselves.
1298
01:30:20,007 --> 01:30:22,812
No, dear. I'll try not to
bring them back here.
1299
01:30:31,833 --> 01:30:35,636
You have been happy here, haven't you?
- We are happy here, aren't we Emily?
1300
01:30:35,852 --> 01:30:38,249
Yes .. it's much better than London.
1301
01:30:38,547 --> 01:30:40,897
It's so good of you to have
bought this house for us.
1302
01:30:41,242 --> 01:30:43,035
You have been clever, Ellen.
1303
01:31:06,500 --> 01:31:07,632
How long will you be?
1304
01:31:08,778 --> 01:31:10,031
I don't know, dear.
1305
01:31:10,562 --> 01:31:12,115
Maybe quite a time.
1306
01:31:13,116 --> 01:31:15,317
I think I shall go down
to The Priory tomorrow.
1307
01:31:15,914 --> 01:31:18,728
I should like to see the things the
Reverend Mother collected on the marsh.
1308
01:31:18,965 --> 01:31:20,045
I'll go with you.
1309
01:31:26,793 --> 01:31:29,371
Goodbye, Ellen .. don't worry about us.
1310
01:31:29,816 --> 01:31:31,460
We can look after ourselves.
1311
01:32:12,774 --> 01:32:13,678

Ellen Creed, a proud spinster fallen on hard times, has spent the past two years as housekeeper and companion to her old friend Leonora Fiske, a wealthy retiree who in her youth had been a chorus girl "of easy virtue". Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.
One day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.
Ellen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.
Ellen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.
Some nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.
Albert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a "sprained wrist." Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.
Albert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men. Ellen smiles, dons her coat and hat, tells the sisters she's going to see some men, kisses them goodbye and departs into the fog.

00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:15,105
Ellen.
2
00:02:16,275 --> 00:02:18,207
Yes, Miss Fiske.
- Is there any mail for me?
3
00:02:18,783 --> 00:02:20,449
No, just this one letter.
4
00:02:22,257 --> 00:02:24,580
No sign of Bates yet?
- Not yet.
5
00:02:25,271 --> 00:02:27,122
Oh dear, I do hope you
won't miss your train.
6
00:02:28,288 --> 00:02:29,130
I mustn't.
7
00:02:32,003 --> 00:02:34,632
Oh Lucy, hurry with that bag.
- Just coming, Miss.
8
00:02:39,861 --> 00:02:40,533
Ellen.
9
00:02:40,937 --> 00:02:42,986
That business I want you
to see about in London.
10
00:02:43,703 --> 00:02:45,281
This is for Mr Scott at the bank.
11
00:02:45,872 --> 00:02:47,797
It's about those Brazilian
bonds of mine.
12
00:02:48,116 --> 00:02:50,463
The way the market is this week,
I think they ought to be ..
13
00:02:51,108 --> 00:02:53,011
Get outside.
Keep your eyes open for Bates.
14
00:02:53,367 --> 00:02:54,154
Yes, Miss.
15
00:02:57,364 --> 00:02:59,365
And this address is
just off Berkeley Square.
16
00:02:59,637 --> 00:03:02,745
Go to the servant's entrance and
ask for Mr Blake. He's the butler.
17
00:03:02,990 --> 00:03:06,248
Say you've come from me with
a message for Lord Cardington.
18
00:03:06,501 --> 00:03:08,999
And will he give it to his
Lordship .. privately.
19
00:03:10,145 --> 00:03:11,726
Ellen, you aren't paying attention.
20
00:03:12,861 --> 00:03:14,130
But I am, Miss Fiske.
21
00:03:15,291 --> 00:03:16,862
What would be the best time to call?
22
00:03:18,183 --> 00:03:20,515
Harry always used to dine around eight.
23
00:03:21,648 --> 00:03:23,869
You call about half past seven.
- Yes, very well.
24
00:03:24,511 --> 00:03:25,441
You seem upset.
25
00:03:26,165 --> 00:03:27,082
Bad news?
26
00:03:28,607 --> 00:03:30,395
I don't want to bother
you with my troubles.
27
00:03:31,555 --> 00:03:33,845
It isn't a question of bothering
me with your troubles.
28
00:03:34,385 --> 00:03:36,059
You've become almost like my daughter.
29
00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:40,033
The letter is from my sisters,
Emily and Louisa.
30
00:03:40,723 --> 00:03:42,666
They're very unhappy back
in London without me.
31
00:03:43,371 --> 00:03:46,159
After all, I only saw them once since
I came to work for you, Miss Fiske.
32
00:03:46,627 --> 00:03:50,075
You'll see them today, won't you?
And everything will be alright, surely.
33
00:03:50,516 --> 00:03:51,365
Miss Fiske.
34
00:03:52,270 --> 00:03:53,239
Bates is coming.
35
00:03:53,677 --> 00:03:54,941
Tell him to hurry himself.
36
00:03:56,902 --> 00:04:00,083
My kind regards to your sisters, Ellen.
- Thank you, Miss Fiske.
37
00:04:05,516 --> 00:04:07,945
I've written them so much about you.
38
00:04:08,818 --> 00:04:10,041
How kind you've been.
39
00:04:10,952 --> 00:04:13,704
Stuff and nonsense.
I'm fond of you. You shouldn't ..
40
00:04:14,411 --> 00:04:16,314
Oh, a lovely juicy one.
41
00:04:18,629 --> 00:04:21,722
Perhaps you'll .. you might allow
them down for a little visit one day?
42
00:04:22,338 --> 00:04:24,174
Oh dear, look what the damp has done.
43
00:04:24,744 --> 00:04:27,291
Certainly, yes.
By all means. At any time.
44
00:04:27,661 --> 00:04:30,625
You know Lucy polished this
table all yesterday afternoon.
45
00:04:31,859 --> 00:04:34,142
Miss Fiske.
- Yes?
46
00:04:34,903 --> 00:04:36,139
It occurred to me that ..
47
00:04:36,694 --> 00:04:40,310
Since they've been so wretched lately,
and you may allow them to visit one day.
48
00:04:40,526 --> 00:04:42,677
Oh that? Yes, indeed. You tell them.
49
00:04:43,191 --> 00:04:45,776
Perhaps in the spring when
it's warm and sunny.
50
00:04:58,452 --> 00:05:01,788
Well .. what I was going to ask was ..
51
00:05:03,656 --> 00:05:06,019
Might I bring them back
with me this time? Now?
52
00:05:06,313 --> 00:05:08,044
Well now, Ellen.
- They won't be a bother.
53
00:05:08,260 --> 00:05:11,100
I promise Miss Fiske .. and it
will mean so much to them.
54
00:05:13,860 --> 00:05:17,056
Very well my dear. You bring with
you by all means. For a day or two.
55
00:05:17,531 --> 00:05:18,974
Thank you, Miss Fiske.
56
00:05:19,913 --> 00:05:22,776
I can't tell you how grateful I am.
- Well don't try, my dear.
57
00:05:23,612 --> 00:05:26,540
He's here, Miss.
- About time. The good-for-nothing.
58
00:05:29,731 --> 00:05:31,919
Ellen, have you got everything?
- Yes, Miss Fiske.
59
00:05:36,257 --> 00:05:37,214
Morning, ma'am.
60
00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:40,040
Bates, you might have been more prompt.
What on earth made you so late?
61
00:05:40,256 --> 00:05:44,233
Her. You can't gallop over the roads
with a lady in her delicate condition.
62
00:05:45,131 --> 00:05:46,985
She's going to throw a calf, she be.
63
00:05:47,329 --> 00:05:49,142
I'm taking her to the vets, I am.
64
00:05:49,580 --> 00:05:53,795
Kindly let her not throw any calves
until you get Miss Ellen to the station.
65
00:05:55,009 --> 00:05:58,324
Calves don't come by timetable, lady.
- Well trains do.
66
00:06:01,093 --> 00:06:02,789
Yes, ma'am.
- Goodbye, Miss Fiske.
67
00:06:03,093 --> 00:06:05,919
Goodbye, Miss Ellen.
- Goodbye, Lucy.
68
00:06:08,225 --> 00:06:10,399
Don't forget the allowance
from you-know-who.
69
00:06:10,690 --> 00:06:11,943
No, I shan't.
70
00:06:12,751 --> 00:06:13,558
Goodbye.
71
00:06:14,089 --> 00:06:15,295
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss.
72
00:06:16,549 --> 00:06:18,440
Alright now, there is a
day's work to be done.
73
00:06:43,285 --> 00:06:46,731
La, la, la .. la, la, la.
74
00:06:47,792 --> 00:06:51,445
This is nice. It's very, very nice.
- What's that you have there, Miss?
75
00:06:52,224 --> 00:06:55,022
It's called the New Comic Opera.
It's all the rage in London.
76
00:06:55,382 --> 00:06:56,355
The Mi-Ka-Do.
77
00:06:57,272 --> 00:06:58,355
Mikado.
78
00:06:59,483 --> 00:07:02,512
I used to tour the provinces with
the gentleman who sent it to me.
79
00:07:02,932 --> 00:07:05,701
Look, he signed it for me:
'Rutland Barington'.
80
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,844
'For my adored Leonora
with fond memories of ..'
81
00:07:12,167 --> 00:07:14,032
Never mind about that.
Go and do the dishes.
82
00:07:14,248 --> 00:07:15,034
Yes, Miss.
83
00:07:18,969 --> 00:07:23,159
<i>On a tree by a willow, a little tom-tit</i>.
84
00:07:23,685 --> 00:07:27,337
<i>Sang: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
85
00:07:27,860 --> 00:07:32,012
<i>And I said to him: dicky-bird,
why do you sit?</i>
86
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:36,024
<i>Singing: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
87
00:07:40,329 --> 00:07:41,550
Go on. Don't stop.
88
00:07:41,803 --> 00:07:45,343
Who are you? What are you doing here?
- Listening .. very nice too.
89
00:07:46,281 --> 00:07:48,810
What do you want?
- Ask me in and I'll tell you.
90
00:07:52,312 --> 00:07:55,617
Anyway young man, you may
come in .. but mind your manners.
91
00:07:56,854 --> 00:07:57,794
Alright, Miss.
92
00:08:06,770 --> 00:08:09,470
Isn't this where Miss Ellen Creed lives?
- Yes, she lives here.
93
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:12,146
What do you wish to see her about?
- It's a personal matter.
94
00:08:13,315 --> 00:08:15,156
She's my aunt. I'm Albert Feather.
95
00:08:15,372 --> 00:08:17,189
Your aunt?
- Right.
96
00:08:17,842 --> 00:08:20,039
Her mother was my stepfather's
uncle's second wife.
97
00:08:22,067 --> 00:08:24,058
And where do you come from?
- Gravesend.
98
00:08:24,649 --> 00:08:26,422
I .. I work in a bank there.
99
00:08:26,875 --> 00:08:28,891
It's a very long walk.
Hadn't you better sit down?
100
00:08:29,598 --> 00:08:30,640
Thank you.
101
00:08:33,063 --> 00:08:34,628
I'm afraid it's all been for nothing.
102
00:08:34,844 --> 00:08:37,420
Your aunt Ellen has gone to
London on some business for me.
103
00:08:38,218 --> 00:08:39,462
How long will she be away?
104
00:08:39,790 --> 00:08:41,215
A few days.
- A few?
105
00:08:43,071 --> 00:08:44,665
Blimey. That will be too late.
106
00:08:45,843 --> 00:08:47,270
Is there anything I can do?
107
00:08:47,764 --> 00:08:51,327
I'm Miss Fiske. Your aunt has been
working here as a housekeeper/companion.
108
00:08:52,049 --> 00:08:54,325
I didn't know.
I haven't seen her for five years.
109
00:08:56,066 --> 00:08:57,102
Can I help?
110
00:08:59,294 --> 00:09:00,176
I wonder.
111
00:09:00,570 --> 00:09:01,642
What's the trouble?
112
00:09:02,394 --> 00:09:03,435
Or is it trouble?
113
00:09:04,397 --> 00:09:07,440
It's trouble right enough.
I hardly like to tell you.
114
00:09:08,163 --> 00:09:09,437
Oh, I see.
115
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:11,115
What's the amount?
116
00:09:12,388 --> 00:09:14,291
Twelve pounds.
- How much?
117
00:09:14,952 --> 00:09:17,446
Twelve pounds.
- My goodness. That's a lot of money.
118
00:09:17,662 --> 00:09:19,564
I know. What's worse,
I must have it by tonight.
119
00:09:19,937 --> 00:09:21,177
I'm short at the bank.
120
00:09:21,937 --> 00:09:24,425
It means jail if I can't put it back
before the cashier checks up.
121
00:09:25,063 --> 00:09:27,092
Gambling?
- No. A girl.
122
00:09:28,525 --> 00:09:29,814
Are you engaged to her?
123
00:09:30,198 --> 00:09:31,426
No. She's an actress.
124
00:09:32,294 --> 00:09:34,143
She was in a travelling
company in Gravesend.
125
00:09:34,463 --> 00:09:36,933
What? At the Old Grand?
126
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:39,551
You know it?
- I played there.
127
00:09:40,084 --> 00:09:41,113
Years ago.
128
00:09:41,968 --> 00:09:43,041
You were an actress?
129
00:09:43,648 --> 00:09:45,054
Front row of the chorus.
130
00:09:45,889 --> 00:09:47,868
Fourth from the right.
131
00:09:48,396 --> 00:09:49,710
She was in the chorus too.
132
00:09:50,179 --> 00:09:51,820
I expect you took her out to supper.
133
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:54,542
Then she persuaded you to
go round the shops with her.
134
00:09:55,486 --> 00:09:56,610
How did you know?
135
00:09:58,034 --> 00:09:59,272
'Imagination', my boy.
136
00:10:01,410 --> 00:10:03,427
Anyway, she's over the hills
now to some other town.
137
00:10:03,731 --> 00:10:05,583
And with some other fool.
The little cheat.
138
00:10:10,573 --> 00:10:13,436
Don't worry any more about it.
I'll give you the twelve pounds.
139
00:10:14,686 --> 00:10:15,719
You will?
140
00:10:16,204 --> 00:10:19,080
Perhaps I owe it to you .. in a sense.
141
00:10:20,452 --> 00:10:21,783
Or to some other fool.
142
00:10:22,564 --> 00:10:23,754
You're a life-saver.
143
00:10:24,208 --> 00:10:26,940
Now you just wait here. I'll just
run upstairs and get my keys.
144
00:10:31,814 --> 00:10:33,378
A pity there aren't more like you.
145
00:10:33,970 --> 00:10:35,850
That my, lad, is a matter of opinion.
146
00:10:38,268 --> 00:10:40,807
Do you mind if I tickle on your ivories?
- No, do.
147
00:10:41,403 --> 00:10:42,190
Thank you.
148
00:10:46,990 --> 00:10:50,944
<i>It's the same the whole world over</i>.
149
00:10:52,269 --> 00:10:53,102
<i>It's</i> ..
150
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,183
<i>It's the poor what gets the blame</i>.
151
00:11:04,394 --> 00:11:08,374
<i>While the rich has all the pleasures</i>.
152
00:11:09,117 --> 00:11:12,780
<i>Now, ain't that the blinking shame</i>.
153
00:11:19,442 --> 00:11:20,183
Hello.
154
00:11:20,703 --> 00:11:21,996
You did scare me.
155
00:11:22,780 --> 00:11:24,167
I thought I was hearing things.
156
00:11:24,565 --> 00:11:25,460
You were.
157
00:11:25,819 --> 00:11:26,681
But I mean.
158
00:11:27,344 --> 00:11:28,245
A man's voice.
159
00:11:29,023 --> 00:11:30,360
So funny here.
160
00:11:32,142 --> 00:11:34,993
Doesn't the tide wash up
many male fish, my angel?
161
00:11:35,476 --> 00:11:38,023
A man is as scarce as
hansom cabs in these parts.
162
00:11:38,377 --> 00:11:40,049
That is, all but the old ones.
163
00:11:40,330 --> 00:11:43,699
The young ones go off to London or
some foreign parts as soon as they can.
164
00:11:44,405 --> 00:11:45,990
Are you going off to foreign parts?
165
00:11:46,537 --> 00:11:48,929
It depends.
- Depends on what?
166
00:11:49,541 --> 00:11:51,342
If anyone ever asks me.
167
00:11:52,252 --> 00:11:54,778
I shouldn't think with eyes like them
there would be any difficulty.
168
00:11:55,570 --> 00:11:56,438
Go on.
169
00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:59,288
What's your name?
- Lucy.
170
00:11:59,889 --> 00:12:02,390
What's yours?
- Albert. I'm Miss Creel's nephew.
171
00:12:02,791 --> 00:12:05,195
Funny .. I never heard about you.
172
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,223
That must be remedied.
173
00:12:09,483 --> 00:12:12,253
How about making the most of a male
fish now one has been washed up, eh?
174
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,043
What about a smacker?
- No, you mustn't.
175
00:12:15,952 --> 00:12:17,175
I don't know you.
176
00:12:17,650 --> 00:12:19,993
You needn't know people to kiss them.
- I do.
177
00:12:21,065 --> 00:12:22,481
Alright my girl. It's your loss.
178
00:12:23,722 --> 00:12:25,495
You think a lot of yourself, don't you?
179
00:12:36,494 --> 00:12:39,581
Has Lucy been entertaining you, Albert?
- Eh?
180
00:12:40,669 --> 00:12:42,777
She came in. We had a word or two.
181
00:12:43,910 --> 00:12:46,728
Nice looker, isn't she?
- I didn't notice.
182
00:12:47,252 --> 00:12:50,496
Come now, Albert.
Don't lose your sense of humour.
183
00:12:50,712 --> 00:12:53,147
I hope you're not one of those who
won't benefit from experience.
184
00:12:53,446 --> 00:12:57,232
Otherwise my twelve pounds
will be rather wasted, won't it.
185
00:12:58,006 --> 00:12:59,937
Don't you worry Miss Fiske.
I've had my lesson.
186
00:13:00,307 --> 00:13:01,631
I hope so.
187
00:13:05,189 --> 00:13:07,912
Now .. this is where we
keep our little hoard.
188
00:13:09,396 --> 00:13:11,055
It's an old bake-oven really.
189
00:13:12,795 --> 00:13:14,007
A proper tomb, isn't it?
190
00:13:15,288 --> 00:13:16,161
What's that?
191
00:13:16,603 --> 00:13:18,678
This is what they used to
pull the loaves out with.
192
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:24,941
Of course, we don't use it as a
bake-oven. Hasn't been used in years.
193
00:13:30,894 --> 00:13:31,880
Now then.
194
00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:34,726
Twelve pounds, I think you said.
195
00:13:35,604 --> 00:13:37,505
You couldn't make if fifteen?
- No, I couldn't.
196
00:13:37,721 --> 00:13:38,593
You couldn't?
197
00:13:40,918 --> 00:13:42,648
Do I give you an I.O.U.?
198
00:13:43,001 --> 00:13:44,040
No thank you.
199
00:13:44,453 --> 00:13:45,721
This isn't a loan.
200
00:13:46,087 --> 00:13:49,548
I shouldn't like you to incur the
remorse of not paying it back.
201
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:51,267
You are a daisy.
202
00:13:53,929 --> 00:13:55,680
Very prettily done, Albert.
203
00:14:00,308 --> 00:14:02,327
Now, let's forget all about it.
204
00:14:04,460 --> 00:14:06,870
If you came next week, you'd have
found three of your aunts here.
205
00:14:07,162 --> 00:14:09,049
Ellen is bringing her
sisters back from London.
206
00:14:09,406 --> 00:14:11,513
What, the potty ones?
- Potty?
207
00:14:11,729 --> 00:14:13,188
Queer as mice in a cage.
208
00:14:14,466 --> 00:14:16,775
They're quite harmless.
Especially when aunt Ellen's around.
209
00:14:17,257 --> 00:14:20,141
For comfort, they're coming
to stay here for a few days.
210
00:14:20,646 --> 00:14:23,031
They seem to mean quite a
great deal to your aunt Ellen.
211
00:14:23,247 --> 00:14:24,573
Oh, they would.
212
00:14:25,219 --> 00:14:27,164
She's looked after them
since she was a kid.
213
00:14:27,426 --> 00:14:30,676
She's watched over them like they were
a couple of perishing babes-in-arms.
214
00:14:31,397 --> 00:14:34,292
I think that's very commendable of her.
- Perhaps, but ..
215
00:14:34,796 --> 00:14:36,355
Think of all the fun she's missing.
216
00:14:37,398 --> 00:14:40,282
What, for example?
- You know.
217
00:14:41,511 --> 00:14:42,582
I see.
218
00:14:43,201 --> 00:14:46,094
I have to be toddling along.
I'll pay you back as soon as I can.
219
00:14:51,506 --> 00:14:54,128
I'd appreciate if you don't mention
our little transaction to aunt Ellen.
220
00:14:54,344 --> 00:14:55,709
Very well. If you like.
221
00:14:56,156 --> 00:14:57,446
How about .. whatsername?
222
00:14:57,987 --> 00:15:00,717
Lucy? Oh she won't say anything.
I'll take care of that.
223
00:15:01,147 --> 00:15:01,848
Thanks.
224
00:15:04,128 --> 00:15:05,104
So long my lady.
225
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,428
And again from the heart. I'll never
forget your kindness as long as I live.
226
00:15:10,954 --> 00:15:12,887
I hope you live a great
deal longer than that.
227
00:15:41,690 --> 00:15:45,882
Isn't it funny, Ellen? You can't see
the wind and you can't touch it.
228
00:15:46,164 --> 00:15:47,202
But it's there.
229
00:15:48,220 --> 00:15:51,549
I think you'd better have this round
you, dear. It's getting quite chilly.
230
00:15:52,323 --> 00:15:54,061
Listen .. what's that?
231
00:15:54,324 --> 00:15:56,455
Those are The Priory bells, dear.
From over the marshes.
232
00:15:56,671 --> 00:15:58,875
Oh .. I shan't like that.
233
00:16:00,388 --> 00:16:03,269
She hates bells.
- Especially church bells.
234
00:16:03,959 --> 00:16:06,415
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong.
235
00:16:06,823 --> 00:16:08,452
Aren't the marshes pretty.
236
00:16:09,396 --> 00:16:11,378
The grass is too long and untidy.
237
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,566
If I had a knife and a bit of string,
I'd cut it and tie it up in bundles.
238
00:16:18,823 --> 00:16:21,809
Are there any sheep here on the marshes?
- Yes, Miss.
239
00:16:22,119 --> 00:16:25,040
I think sheep are so clever to
chew their cud the way they do.
240
00:16:25,490 --> 00:16:26,918
It's very difficult.
241
00:16:27,875 --> 00:16:29,030
I've tried.
242
00:16:31,415 --> 00:16:34,749
You ought to be a sailor, Miss.
They're always chewing tobacco.
243
00:16:35,584 --> 00:16:37,415
The man I was to marry was a sailor.
244
00:16:38,195 --> 00:16:39,482
He gave me this.
245
00:16:40,242 --> 00:16:42,105
It's all I have to remember him by.
246
00:16:43,219 --> 00:16:44,631
He was wrecked at sea.
247
00:16:46,036 --> 00:16:47,692
They were all drowned.
248
00:16:48,609 --> 00:16:50,781
It must have been a bit of
sadness for you, Missy.
249
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,617
Oh no. I've quite forgotten
what he looked like.
250
00:16:53,867 --> 00:16:58,114
I saw a drowned man once. They took
him out of the Thames. He was green.
251
00:16:59,726 --> 00:17:00,800
Frogs.
252
00:17:01,614 --> 00:17:03,598
There must be lots of frogs.
253
00:17:04,872 --> 00:17:07,194
We used to have such
fun with them at home.
254
00:17:07,942 --> 00:17:11,767
We used to put them on the dining-table
and make them jump in the marmalade pot.
255
00:17:24,590 --> 00:17:27,124
Look. There's a bird's nest.
- So there is.
256
00:17:27,425 --> 00:17:29,585
It must be last summer's.
- I should like to have that.
257
00:17:29,801 --> 00:17:30,956
Bates, stop please.
258
00:17:33,961 --> 00:17:35,709
Oh .. I have it.
259
00:17:37,576 --> 00:17:40,244
Isn't it beautiful?
- Oh dear, it's all cobwebby.
260
00:17:41,088 --> 00:17:43,437
And it has a horrid smell.
- It mustn't be wasted.
261
00:17:43,773 --> 00:17:46,676
I shall save it until next year
and then I'll put it back again.
262
00:17:47,792 --> 00:17:49,568
Who knows where we'll be next year?
263
00:17:50,919 --> 00:17:53,493
Not in London anyway. You promised that.
264
00:17:54,646 --> 00:17:56,807
Yes, I promised that.
- Look.
265
00:17:59,651 --> 00:18:02,019
Louisa .. how did that happen?
266
00:18:02,290 --> 00:18:03,334
She did it.
- Who?
267
00:18:03,721 --> 00:18:04,985
That woman in London.
268
00:18:05,980 --> 00:18:08,599
She didn't give us enough food either.
- 'Discipline' she said.
269
00:18:09,276 --> 00:18:11,196
Louisa used to cry all night.
270
00:18:11,605 --> 00:18:13,863
I didn't. She couldn't discipline me.
271
00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:17,371
We'll be alright here
though with Miss Fiske.
272
00:18:17,911 --> 00:18:18,927
She won't beat us.
273
00:18:20,371 --> 00:18:22,086
No darling, she won't beat you.
274
00:18:23,299 --> 00:18:24,774
No-one will again. Ever.
275
00:18:35,203 --> 00:18:38,132
Now remember what I told you both.
You're not to talk too much.
276
00:18:38,505 --> 00:18:40,175
Wait until Miss Fiske knows you better.
277
00:18:40,391 --> 00:18:42,433
How can she get to know
us better if we don't talk?
278
00:18:43,833 --> 00:18:45,955
Come along dear.
Bates, get the luggage, will you.
279
00:18:46,171 --> 00:18:47,147
Yes, ma'am.
280
00:18:55,788 --> 00:18:57,441
They look harmless.
- What, Miss?
281
00:18:58,044 --> 00:19:00,065
Never mind. Go and put the kettle on.
- Yes, Miss.
282
00:19:07,201 --> 00:19:09,332
Well, here we are.
- I'm glad.
283
00:19:09,821 --> 00:19:12,750
Miss Fiske .. my sister
Emily, my sister Louisa.
284
00:19:13,012 --> 00:19:15,614
How do you do, Emily?
- We're very glad to be here.
285
00:19:16,355 --> 00:19:18,625
Louisa.
- I don't like people to touch me.
286
00:19:20,092 --> 00:19:22,203
I'm afraid Miss Fiske will
think you're very rude.
287
00:19:22,637 --> 00:19:25,893
They're rather tired, poor dears.
- I never get tired.
288
00:19:26,246 --> 00:19:28,424
I sometimes walk about
the house all night.
289
00:19:29,354 --> 00:19:32,358
Do you indeed?
- No, of course she doesn't, Miss Fiske.
290
00:19:35,582 --> 00:19:37,090
What beautiful furniture.
291
00:19:37,766 --> 00:19:40,401
Just like we used to have
before we lost all our money.
292
00:19:40,705 --> 00:19:44,104
Some of these <i>are </i>our things, dear.
Miss Fiske bought them at my Curio Shop.
293
00:19:44,499 --> 00:19:45,716
I want my tea.
294
00:19:45,982 --> 00:19:49,687
Emily, see .. here's the
grand champ himself.
295
00:19:50,198 --> 00:19:52,303
Remember when father bought him for us?
296
00:19:52,874 --> 00:19:54,913
I wonder if his head still nods.
297
00:19:55,230 --> 00:19:57,850
Ding-dong, ding-dong ..
- Louisa, dear.
298
00:19:58,188 --> 00:20:00,094
Bates, be careful.
You'll scratch the furniture.
299
00:20:00,329 --> 00:20:01,719
Very good, ma'am.
300
00:20:07,149 --> 00:20:09,201
I must say you've brought
enough luggage with you.
301
00:20:09,549 --> 00:20:11,220
We've brought everything.
- Everything?
302
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,760
We had to.
- Why?
303
00:20:13,089 --> 00:20:14,453
When they sent for the police.
304
00:20:14,787 --> 00:20:17,483
Now, my dears. I'm sure all this
can't possibly interest Miss Fiske.
305
00:20:17,819 --> 00:20:19,779
I think we should go up
and rest a bit before tea.
306
00:20:20,125 --> 00:20:22,023
Whatever you say, Ellen.
- Come along, Emily.
307
00:20:22,239 --> 00:20:24,948
That smelly train was very dirty.
308
00:20:25,188 --> 00:20:28,708
She's always fussing about the dirt.
I hope you keep things tidy here.
309
00:20:28,924 --> 00:20:32,483
Cleanliness is next to
Godliness .. don't you agree?
310
00:20:33,018 --> 00:20:35,985
Well .. I'm quite clean, I believe.
311
00:20:36,652 --> 00:20:39,005
But I don't know that
I'm particularly Godly.
312
00:20:39,668 --> 00:20:41,267
I thought you were a Roman.
313
00:20:41,837 --> 00:20:42,824
Isn't that yours?
314
00:20:43,077 --> 00:20:45,458
Miss Fiske is a Roman, dear.
And a very devoted one.
315
00:20:45,929 --> 00:20:47,614
Come along Louisa, Emily.
316
00:20:47,957 --> 00:20:50,102
Father, didn't approve of Romans.
317
00:20:52,032 --> 00:20:53,290
And neither do I.
318
00:21:13,724 --> 00:21:16,116
I expect it's one of those boobies.
319
00:21:16,588 --> 00:21:20,641
Miss Emily was drawing cat's faces on
brown paper yesterday when you were out.
320
00:21:21,138 --> 00:21:23,357
I can't stand it. I can't stand it.
321
00:21:23,721 --> 00:21:26,634
My lovely paisley shawl. It's ruined.
322
00:21:27,927 --> 00:21:31,189
You'd better get some vinegar and see
if you can do something about this spot.
323
00:21:31,443 --> 00:21:32,256
Yes, Miss.
324
00:21:32,810 --> 00:21:35,900
I'm utterly exhausted clearing
up after their messes.
325
00:21:36,172 --> 00:21:38,204
I don't wonder, Miss. So am I.
326
00:21:38,529 --> 00:21:42,030
And you should see their
bedroom. It's like a goat's-pen.
327
00:21:42,483 --> 00:21:45,783
I know it. If it isn't one
thing, it's another.
328
00:21:46,153 --> 00:21:49,633
For the last six weeks were like living
in the middle of Piccadilly Circus.
329
00:21:50,566 --> 00:21:52,478
My heart won't stand it.
330
00:21:53,336 --> 00:21:55,144
Go and get my smelling salts.
331
00:21:56,829 --> 00:21:59,720
Where are they, Miss?
- In the usual place, of course.
332
00:21:59,984 --> 00:22:01,928
Nothing is in the usual
place these days.
333
00:22:02,169 --> 00:22:02,822
No.
334
00:22:03,664 --> 00:22:05,532
Well then, get me a cold compress.
335
00:22:06,303 --> 00:22:09,597
I shall lie down and
take a nap while I can.
336
00:22:13,641 --> 00:22:14,627
Miss Fiske.
337
00:22:14,950 --> 00:22:18,862
Yes, what is it? What is it?
- Will they be staying much longer?
338
00:22:20,743 --> 00:22:23,049
They'll have my invitation
to go this evening.
339
00:22:26,420 --> 00:22:30,273
Oh dear, I wonder where Emily has
gone to. She ought to be back by now.
340
00:22:31,513 --> 00:22:33,331
I can't see her anywhere.
341
00:22:33,776 --> 00:22:37,997
I wish I were brave like Emily.
I should like to take long walks too.
342
00:22:38,404 --> 00:22:40,016
And pick up things.
343
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,248
Perhaps I shall be able to
after we've stayed here longer.
344
00:22:44,902 --> 00:22:46,145
I'm sure you will, dear.
345
00:22:46,442 --> 00:22:48,530
I shall be staying here, shan't I?
346
00:22:49,544 --> 00:22:52,354
You're not planning to send us away?
Are you, Ellen?
347
00:22:53,227 --> 00:22:54,739
No dear. Of course I'm not.
348
00:22:55,199 --> 00:22:57,189
This is what you've always promised us.
349
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,885
A little place in the country
where we can always be safe.
350
00:23:01,424 --> 00:23:04,604
Yes .. it's the one thing
I've been working for.
351
00:23:05,415 --> 00:23:07,236
Ever since we had to
give up the old house.
352
00:23:07,574 --> 00:23:10,567
Naturally, Estuary House
could never be like that.
353
00:23:11,114 --> 00:23:12,511
But it's nice enough.
354
00:23:12,898 --> 00:23:14,774
Yes, and Miss Fiske has
been very kind to us.
355
00:23:15,471 --> 00:23:18,924
Miss Fiske .. may I tell
you something, Ellen?
356
00:23:19,743 --> 00:23:21,102
Just one of my secrets.
357
00:23:21,866 --> 00:23:22,931
Of course you may.
358
00:23:23,717 --> 00:23:25,589
I don't like Miss Fiske.
359
00:23:27,025 --> 00:23:30,951
Couldn't we send her away? Then it
would <i>really</i> be just the three of us.
360
00:23:31,260 --> 00:23:33,656
But I keep telling you,
Louisa. It's <i>her</i> house.
361
00:23:34,059 --> 00:23:36,189
Oh no. You'll never
make me believe that.
362
00:23:36,987 --> 00:23:38,457
All out lovely things are there.
363
00:23:39,795 --> 00:23:43,336
We'll never have to go away, will we?
- No, darling. I promised you.
364
00:23:44,163 --> 00:23:44,998
Never.
365
00:23:46,020 --> 00:23:48,323
I think Miss Fiske wants us to go.
366
00:23:49,091 --> 00:23:50,341
Both of us.
367
00:23:50,928 --> 00:23:52,812
I'm sure I can persuade
her to let you stay.
368
00:23:54,613 --> 00:23:56,349
Oh dear, I do wish Emily would come.
369
00:23:56,602 --> 00:23:58,912
Maybe we'd better get along
home in case she's waiting there.
370
00:23:59,701 --> 00:24:00,838
Come along, dear.
371
00:24:01,945 --> 00:24:04,810
I don't want her upsetting Miss Fiske
again. She can be very tactless.
372
00:24:23,370 --> 00:24:25,220
Here girl, take this.
373
00:24:25,436 --> 00:24:27,267
Thanks a lot. What are we to do with it?
374
00:24:27,506 --> 00:24:29,709
Put it in the woodshed,
where it belongs.
375
00:24:29,962 --> 00:24:33,268
The woodshed is full. I won't have
you cluttering up my kitchen with it.
376
00:24:33,731 --> 00:24:35,093
Very well then.
377
00:24:44,580 --> 00:24:46,788
Oh dear ..
378
00:24:48,844 --> 00:24:50,225
What is it now?
379
00:24:54,808 --> 00:24:56,535
Wait until Miss Fiske sees this.
380
00:24:57,306 --> 00:24:59,938
What's the matter now? My goodness.
381
00:25:00,154 --> 00:25:02,116
More wood?
- Yes. Miss Emily dumped it.
382
00:25:02,602 --> 00:25:04,986
Never mind. You get out of here.
- I got a nice lot today.
383
00:25:05,672 --> 00:25:08,305
What are you thinking of? Making a
mess with it all over my clean floor.
384
00:25:08,521 --> 00:25:10,394
The girl wouldn't let
me put it in the kitchen.
385
00:25:10,671 --> 00:25:13,708
She's quite right. I told you to stop
bringing in wood. We have enough.
386
00:25:13,924 --> 00:25:16,497
I must tidy up the river
banks. I hate waste.
387
00:25:16,713 --> 00:25:18,995
And I hate litter. Now you
clear it away immediately.
388
00:25:19,239 --> 00:25:21,201
I won't be ordered to do things.
389
00:25:22,767 --> 00:25:24,118
This is too much.
390
00:25:24,496 --> 00:25:26,293
My best polished table.
391
00:25:26,789 --> 00:25:28,933
Look how these shells have scratched it.
392
00:25:29,269 --> 00:25:31,965
What's this? Wet seaweed and a horrid ..
393
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,604
Dead bird.
394
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,561
Leave my bird alone. And my shells.
395
00:25:37,060 --> 00:25:38,248
They are my treasures.
396
00:25:38,610 --> 00:25:41,515
We don't understand expensive things.
It's so long since we had any.
397
00:25:41,981 --> 00:25:44,044
I know it's very simple of me.
But I am simple.
398
00:25:44,260 --> 00:25:46,087
Emily .. what's wrong?
399
00:25:46,309 --> 00:25:48,986
I hate her. She threw my
bird into the fireplace.
400
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,507
Emily, control yourself.
401
00:25:50,723 --> 00:25:52,603
See what she's done
with her ridiculous shells.
402
00:25:52,885 --> 00:25:54,816
It will take a month's
polishing to put it right.
403
00:25:55,032 --> 00:25:56,708
I'm sorry Miss Fiske, I'll put it right.
404
00:25:57,276 --> 00:26:00,394
No Ellen, you shan't. I'll do it.
Let me do it. I'll polish it.
405
00:26:00,610 --> 00:26:02,434
Every day, all through the winter.
406
00:26:02,769 --> 00:26:05,511
Sweet of you, Louisa. But I doubt
you'll be here through the winter.
407
00:26:05,969 --> 00:26:07,630
But we shall. Ellen said so.
408
00:26:07,953 --> 00:26:10,046
You're mistaken, Louisa.
I said nothing of the kind.
409
00:26:10,262 --> 00:26:12,701
But you did. You promised.
- Louisa, will you be quiet.
410
00:26:16,013 --> 00:26:18,157
My heavens. This is the last straw.
411
00:26:18,802 --> 00:26:20,996
You'll drive me as crazy as yourselves.
412
00:26:24,448 --> 00:26:25,406
Oh, Ellen.
413
00:26:27,312 --> 00:26:28,535
Miss Fiske.
414
00:26:29,134 --> 00:26:31,588
I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to say that, but ..
415
00:26:32,377 --> 00:26:34,890
I've had about as much as I can endure.
416
00:26:36,396 --> 00:26:39,219
Emily .. take Louisa upstairs.
417
00:26:39,889 --> 00:26:41,482
Now, stop your crying, Louisa.
418
00:26:42,358 --> 00:26:44,045
There's nothing to cry about.
419
00:26:45,286 --> 00:26:46,141
Do you hear?
420
00:26:46,743 --> 00:26:48,817
Go upstairs. Both of you.
421
00:26:51,981 --> 00:26:53,380
And close the door behind you.
422
00:26:58,271 --> 00:27:00,113
That was a cruel thing to say.
423
00:27:00,788 --> 00:27:01,944
But it's true.
424
00:27:02,778 --> 00:27:06,123
One with her telescope and the other
with her mania for collecting things.
425
00:27:06,703 --> 00:27:08,149
They are insane, both of them.
426
00:27:08,609 --> 00:27:10,479
Please don't use that word again.
427
00:27:11,078 --> 00:27:12,310
Emily was right.
428
00:27:12,956 --> 00:27:14,664
But then people who
have all they want ..
429
00:27:15,013 --> 00:27:17,979
Never understand how much the smallest
things mean to those who haven't.
430
00:27:18,345 --> 00:27:19,046
Really?
431
00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:21,362
I don't think this calls for a sermon.
432
00:27:22,276 --> 00:27:24,365
I've been more than generous
to you and your sisters.
433
00:27:24,581 --> 00:27:26,750
People have always been very
generous to you, Miss Fiske.
434
00:27:26,966 --> 00:27:29,126
My sisters and I have never had
friends to send <i>us</i> money.
435
00:27:29,379 --> 00:27:31,480
That's hardly my fault, is it.
- No.
436
00:27:31,793 --> 00:27:35,189
Don't you feel you have a responsibility
to those less fortunate than you?
437
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,615
I don't know what you're talking about.
438
00:27:38,441 --> 00:27:40,476
Life hasn't been very
kind to us, Miss Fiske.
439
00:27:40,817 --> 00:27:42,798
Every penny we've ever
had, I've had to work for.
440
00:27:43,014 --> 00:27:45,706
Every penny. But at least
we have our self-respect.
441
00:27:47,024 --> 00:27:48,654
How dare you.
442
00:27:49,634 --> 00:27:51,866
How dare you criticise my life.
443
00:27:52,216 --> 00:27:55,606
Do you think I don't envy women who
have respectability? Who have families?
444
00:27:55,822 --> 00:27:58,890
Who aren't just forgotten and pensioned
off when they lose their stock-in-trade.
445
00:27:59,208 --> 00:28:01,196
Then you can't blame me
for fighting for my family.
446
00:28:01,412 --> 00:28:03,466
Very admirable, but it's
your family and not mine.
447
00:28:03,941 --> 00:28:05,065
Let me tell you this.
448
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,935
Your sisters, insane or not,
have overstayed their welcome.
449
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,611
I invite them here for two days
and they've stayed six weeks.
450
00:28:10,827 --> 00:28:13,450
Or perhaps you were planning
to keep them here forever?
451
00:28:14,485 --> 00:28:16,324
Well .. I had thought ..
452
00:28:17,124 --> 00:28:19,622
That I might pay something out
of my wages for their keep.
453
00:28:19,895 --> 00:28:22,261
Ellen, you're a hypocrite.
You're worse, you're a cheat.
454
00:28:22,937 --> 00:28:26,279
You meant to foist your wretched
brood on me and bleed me white.
455
00:28:26,626 --> 00:28:30,814
And when I saw through your scheme, you
had the insolence to turn and abuse me.
456
00:28:31,124 --> 00:28:32,701
But you've chosen the wrong woman.
457
00:28:32,917 --> 00:28:35,255
You get those sisters of yours
out of this house at once.
458
00:28:35,604 --> 00:28:37,644
And take a month's wages
and go with them.
459
00:28:39,743 --> 00:28:40,815
Miss Fiske.
460
00:29:08,710 --> 00:29:11,039
Ellen .. why aren't you in bed?
461
00:29:11,451 --> 00:29:13,179
Why are you prowling about at this hour?
462
00:29:13,761 --> 00:29:16,786
Miss Fiske, may I come in?
I must talk with you, please.
463
00:29:17,357 --> 00:29:18,516
Well, mind your tongue.
464
00:29:18,764 --> 00:29:20,987
We don't want any more of
this afternoon's unpleasantness.
465
00:29:23,612 --> 00:29:24,936
I'm sorry about that.
466
00:29:25,715 --> 00:29:27,833
I was wrong. I shouldn't
have spoken to you as I did.
467
00:29:28,791 --> 00:29:30,462
No .. you shouldn't.
468
00:29:37,617 --> 00:29:38,744
Miss Fiske.
469
00:29:39,702 --> 00:29:42,303
Do you remember the letter that arrived
the day I went away to London?
470
00:29:42,556 --> 00:29:46,058
Yes .. what about it?
- It was from their landlady.
471
00:29:46,613 --> 00:29:47,747
Emily and Louisa.
472
00:29:48,187 --> 00:29:49,552
Had been a little difficult.
473
00:29:49,893 --> 00:29:51,137
She'd sent for the police.
474
00:29:52,329 --> 00:29:54,369
They were going to be
put away in an institution.
475
00:29:54,764 --> 00:29:57,034
The landlady was quite right.
That's where they belong.
476
00:29:57,393 --> 00:30:00,433
But Miss Fiske, you don't
understand. They're my sisters.
477
00:30:00,820 --> 00:30:02,707
You don't know what I've
gone through for them.
478
00:30:02,923 --> 00:30:05,036
They've no-one else in the
world to turn to but me.
479
00:30:05,740 --> 00:30:08,948
I pleaded with the police to release
them. They agreed on one condition.
480
00:30:09,533 --> 00:30:11,458
That they were to remain
in my personal care.
481
00:30:11,740 --> 00:30:13,336
That I was to be responsible for them.
482
00:30:13,787 --> 00:30:15,440
And if there were any more complaints.
483
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,522
That they were to be put away forever.
That's why I can't send them away.
484
00:30:19,825 --> 00:30:21,889
All this devotion is
very admirable, Ellen.
485
00:30:22,285 --> 00:30:24,471
But I fail to see how I can
help in any way at all.
486
00:30:24,801 --> 00:30:26,903
Oh but you can. You can, Miss Fiske.
487
00:30:27,618 --> 00:30:29,823
I thought perhaps they
might use the attic upstairs.
488
00:30:30,162 --> 00:30:32,379
They'll stay there out of the
way where you don't see them.
489
00:30:32,716 --> 00:30:34,876
They could use the back stairs
when they come in and out.
490
00:30:35,129 --> 00:30:37,055
Ellen, what are you talking about?
491
00:30:37,271 --> 00:30:40,267
I promise they'll never come near you.
You'll never know they're in the house.
492
00:30:40,829 --> 00:30:43,797
I'll look after them myself.
I'll cook their meals for them.
493
00:30:44,387 --> 00:30:46,231
I promise they won't
be any more trouble.
494
00:30:46,913 --> 00:30:49,120
Miss Fiske, they must
be with me, they must.
495
00:30:49,439 --> 00:30:51,590
I'll pay for their keep.
I'll work for nothing.
496
00:30:51,834 --> 00:30:54,509
Please .. oh, please Miss Fiske.
497
00:30:54,829 --> 00:30:56,720
Ellen, have you quite
gone out of your mind?
498
00:30:57,064 --> 00:31:00,126
You must be blind if you can't realise
they'd always be getting in my way.
499
00:31:00,342 --> 00:31:02,612
You pack them off tomorrow.
- But, Miss Fiske. Won't ..?
500
00:31:02,828 --> 00:31:04,369
No Ellen, my mind is made up.
501
00:31:05,471 --> 00:31:09,239
If you want to, you can stay here a few
days until you've found a new situation.
502
00:31:10,018 --> 00:31:12,814
Now run along to bed. And make
certain they leave tomorrow.
503
00:31:14,132 --> 00:31:16,592
You wouldn't want me to be sending
for the police, would you?
504
00:31:18,682 --> 00:31:20,329
Goodnight Ellen. I'm tired.
505
00:31:24,230 --> 00:31:25,186
Goodnight.
506
00:31:48,528 --> 00:31:50,908
But you told her you were
going to send us away.
507
00:31:52,592 --> 00:31:54,344
I'm not going to send you away.
508
00:31:54,732 --> 00:31:56,620
We heard you. We were listening.
509
00:31:57,784 --> 00:31:59,386
Isn't she terrible, Ellen?
510
00:32:00,207 --> 00:32:01,536
She's wicked.
511
00:32:03,006 --> 00:32:04,907
I'm not going to send you away.
512
00:32:06,836 --> 00:32:07,678
Never.
513
00:32:08,554 --> 00:32:11,269
If you're not sending us away,
what are you going to do?
514
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,293
I don't know.
515
00:32:16,674 --> 00:32:17,831
I must think.
516
00:32:30,078 --> 00:32:32,550
I've always wanted
to explore an old castle.
517
00:32:32,971 --> 00:32:35,857
Will it have a dungeon do you think?
- They all have dungeons.
518
00:32:36,191 --> 00:32:36,978
With bats.
519
00:32:37,415 --> 00:32:39,138
No, dear. Bats are in belfries.
520
00:32:39,459 --> 00:32:43,180
There's sure to be secret passageways
and places where they'd hide things.
521
00:32:45,198 --> 00:32:46,346
Like that.
522
00:32:54,259 --> 00:32:58,372
Yes .. I'm sure Miss Fiske has lots
of exciting things hidden in there.
523
00:32:58,588 --> 00:33:00,212
Her jewels, I'm sure.
524
00:33:01,019 --> 00:33:04,181
I've looked in all her boxes and
haven't been able to find them.
525
00:33:04,718 --> 00:33:07,167
Are you both ready?
- Oh yes. Quite.
526
00:33:07,404 --> 00:33:10,004
I managed to pack all
the lunch into one bag.
527
00:33:10,660 --> 00:33:11,630
Mine.
528
00:33:12,914 --> 00:33:15,600
Come here and sit down.
I want to talk to you both.
529
00:33:25,193 --> 00:33:25,808
Now.
530
00:33:26,107 --> 00:33:28,868
I haven't told you the real reason why
you're being sent away for a whole day.
531
00:33:29,589 --> 00:33:32,633
The truth is I want to be entirely
alone with Miss Fiske for a few hours.
532
00:33:32,849 --> 00:33:34,817
Is that why you got rid of Lucy too?
533
00:33:35,131 --> 00:33:37,177
I didn't get rid of Lucy, Emily.
She had a toothache.
534
00:33:37,393 --> 00:33:40,293
Oh Ellen dear, you know that's
not true. She didn't want to go at all.
535
00:33:40,754 --> 00:33:42,833
I said she had a toothache, Louisa.
536
00:33:44,698 --> 00:33:45,628
Now listen.
537
00:33:46,220 --> 00:33:49,408
Last night, while you were both asleep,
I had a long talk with Miss Fiske.
538
00:33:50,131 --> 00:33:52,867
She's tired of the marshes
and wants to travel for a bit.
539
00:33:53,530 --> 00:33:55,633
I've persuaded her to
sell this house to me.
540
00:33:55,849 --> 00:33:58,210
Not really, Ellen?
- We haven't discussed price yet.
541
00:33:58,976 --> 00:34:02,422
That's why I must be alone with her, so
we can talk with nothing to distract us.
542
00:34:02,694 --> 00:34:05,355
She may want more than
you're prepared to pay.
543
00:34:07,101 --> 00:34:09,142
I'm prepared to pay
quite a big price, Emily.
544
00:34:09,569 --> 00:34:11,442
Oh, lovely, lovely, lovely.
545
00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:14,491
Oh Emily, aren't you excited?
- Louisa, be quiet.
546
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:17,415
Now, there's one more thing.
547
00:34:18,401 --> 00:34:19,716
The most important.
548
00:34:35,231 --> 00:34:36,722
You see this bible, both of you?
549
00:34:37,587 --> 00:34:39,899
I want you to swear on it.
By father's memory.
550
00:34:40,590 --> 00:34:43,550
That you'll never repeat a word of my
buying this house as long as you live.
551
00:34:45,940 --> 00:34:46,963
What do I say?
552
00:34:47,581 --> 00:34:48,963
Just say 'I swear'.
553
00:34:49,670 --> 00:34:51,113
Oh .. I swear.
554
00:34:51,554 --> 00:34:52,484
You too, Emily.
555
00:34:52,787 --> 00:34:54,831
I won't swear on the bible. It's wicked.
556
00:34:55,435 --> 00:34:56,571
If you don't Emily ..
557
00:34:56,869 --> 00:34:59,143
I shan't buy the house and I'll
send you both back to London.
558
00:34:59,426 --> 00:35:01,058
Oh Emily, be sensible.
559
00:35:01,660 --> 00:35:04,984
I don't like being made
to do things .. I promise.
560
00:35:05,604 --> 00:35:06,759
Now, remember.
561
00:35:07,527 --> 00:35:09,016
That's a sacred oath.
562
00:35:15,968 --> 00:35:18,162
Here's Bates. Hurry now.
There's no time to waste.
563
00:35:35,582 --> 00:35:38,805
Drive slowly Bates.
Please don't let them get cold.
564
00:35:39,425 --> 00:35:42,412
You can take your time. I shan't be
expecting you back before dusk.
565
00:35:42,815 --> 00:35:43,999
Very good, ma'am.
566
00:35:44,599 --> 00:35:47,698
Goodbye Ellen. I wish you could come.
- I wish you were coming too.
567
00:35:48,129 --> 00:35:49,432
Goodbye Ellen.
- Goodbye.
568
00:35:49,861 --> 00:35:50,855
Goodbye, dears.
569
00:35:51,341 --> 00:35:53,195
Have a good time.
- Thank you.
570
00:36:58,085 --> 00:36:59,246
I'm out of practice.
571
00:37:11,178 --> 00:37:14,210
To dear Louisa and dear Emily.
572
00:37:14,858 --> 00:37:16,359
May we never meet again.
573
00:37:22,767 --> 00:37:24,335
That is so good.
574
00:39:14,210 --> 00:39:16,013
[ Door knocks ]
575
00:39:20,175 --> 00:39:22,634
May we come in?
- Yes.
576
00:39:25,330 --> 00:39:28,536
I'd like to speak to Miss Ellen.
Unless Miss Fiske is back?
577
00:39:29,038 --> 00:39:32,096
No, she's still away. I'll fetch Ellen.
578
00:39:34,682 --> 00:39:36,292
We're making jam.
579
00:39:44,568 --> 00:39:45,883
Good evening.
580
00:39:46,963 --> 00:39:48,418
It isn't a very good one, is it?
581
00:39:48,747 --> 00:39:52,681
No, as a matter of fact it's not.
Cats and dogs.
582
00:39:55,747 --> 00:39:56,934
Good evening, Sisters.
583
00:39:57,318 --> 00:39:58,650
Sorry to keep you waiting.
584
00:39:58,866 --> 00:40:00,911
But we're in the middle of
putting up our quince jam.
585
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,087
Please don't apologise. I'm afraid
we've come on a begging errand.
586
00:40:04,550 --> 00:40:06,781
Our supplier of oil hasn't
arrived from Rochester.
587
00:40:07,225 --> 00:40:10,245
And the Reverend Mother wondered
if we might borrow a can until Sunday.
588
00:40:10,738 --> 00:40:12,225
Of course .. Lucy.
589
00:40:16,315 --> 00:40:17,179
Yes, Miss?
590
00:40:17,438 --> 00:40:19,874
Will you run out to the shed
and bring in a can of paraffin.
591
00:40:21,575 --> 00:40:22,653
Yes, Miss Ellen.
592
00:40:24,007 --> 00:40:25,588
Won't you sit down, Sisters?
593
00:40:50,207 --> 00:40:51,986
Hey. Shush ..
594
00:40:53,587 --> 00:40:54,636
You again.
595
00:40:55,191 --> 00:40:56,464
Bad pennies always turn up.
596
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,166
What are you doing here, hanging
about with the storm and all?
597
00:40:59,382 --> 00:41:01,834
I've a little business inside.
Had to ensure the coast was clear.
598
00:41:02,199 --> 00:41:03,901
What business?
- Listen, Lucky.
599
00:41:04,179 --> 00:41:05,963
Is Miss Fiske about?
- No, she's away.
600
00:41:06,198 --> 00:41:08,242
And my aunt Ellen?
- She's here right enough.
601
00:41:08,601 --> 00:41:11,306
And them two crazy sisters of hers.
- Does she know I've been here before?
602
00:41:11,776 --> 00:41:14,618
No. Mistress said not to say.
- Good. Get on with your work.
603
00:41:15,044 --> 00:41:17,096
I'll come in the front door
like a proper gentleman.
604
00:41:18,142 --> 00:41:20,067
Remember .. we don't know each other.
605
00:41:20,424 --> 00:41:22,135
Not that we shan't .. later.
606
00:41:22,483 --> 00:41:24,169
I'm very particular who I know.
607
00:41:30,205 --> 00:41:33,391
For a moment, when I saw the candles
burning, I thought Miss Fiske was back.
608
00:41:33,607 --> 00:41:35,165
Ellen's been lighting them lately.
609
00:41:35,381 --> 00:41:38,777
She thinks Miss Fiske would like her to.
She says it keeps her memory burning.
610
00:41:40,386 --> 00:41:42,024
When are you expecting her back?
611
00:41:42,607 --> 00:41:44,132
I really couldn't say, Sister.
612
00:41:44,649 --> 00:41:46,293
She hasn't written for over a fortnight.
613
00:41:46,601 --> 00:41:48,509
We were so surprised
to learn she'd gone.
614
00:41:48,986 --> 00:41:51,374
She hadn't mentioned she was
planning a journey anywhere.
615
00:41:51,718 --> 00:41:53,242
No. It was quite unexpected.
616
00:41:53,558 --> 00:41:56,143
She had a letter from some old
friends inviting her on a trip.
617
00:41:56,566 --> 00:41:58,438
As they were sailing
the very next morning.
618
00:41:58,858 --> 00:42:01,023
The Reverend Mother wonders
what to do about the rent.
619
00:42:01,426 --> 00:42:03,908
From the little 3-acre field
we hire from Miss Fiske.
620
00:42:04,610 --> 00:42:07,476
Well, I'm managing all her
affairs while she's away, Sister.
621
00:42:07,990 --> 00:42:10,527
If you send it to me, I'll forward
it when I get her next address.
622
00:42:10,929 --> 00:42:12,143
Here, Miss Ellen.
623
00:42:12,665 --> 00:42:14,460
Good evening, Sisters.
- Thank you.
624
00:42:14,676 --> 00:42:17,225
That seems heavy. Go with the
Sisters Lucy and give them a hand.
625
00:42:17,662 --> 00:42:20,237
That's very kind of you, Miss Ellen.
- We've been bother enough.
626
00:42:20,526 --> 00:42:23,279
I'll be glad to go. I'll get my cloak.
627
00:42:23,813 --> 00:42:27,025
I think you are so brave
going out in the dark. I ..
628
00:42:29,550 --> 00:42:31,983
I hate the dark .. it frightens me.
629
00:42:32,329 --> 00:42:33,522
It shouldn't, my dear.
630
00:42:33,962 --> 00:42:35,605
Don't you believe we're watched over?
631
00:42:35,929 --> 00:42:36,605
Yes.
632
00:42:36,916 --> 00:42:39,057
But I'm never quite sure
who is watching us.
633
00:42:40,248 --> 00:42:42,591
I'm quite ready.
- We'd better be going.
634
00:42:43,099 --> 00:42:45,775
Goodnight and thank you very much.
- Goodnight Sisters.
635
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:47,278
Goodnight.
636
00:42:49,166 --> 00:42:51,399
There dear, you carry the oil.
637
00:42:51,737 --> 00:42:53,833
And I'll hold the umbrella over us both.
638
00:42:55,061 --> 00:42:56,885
Goodnight again.
- Goodnight.
639
00:42:57,307 --> 00:42:58,265
Goodnight.
640
00:43:02,547 --> 00:43:04,002
I must get back to the jam.
641
00:43:09,740 --> 00:43:12,474
Ellen was unusually nice to
Sister Theresa, wasn't she.
642
00:43:12,982 --> 00:43:14,966
They were quite chatty together.
- Louisa.
643
00:43:15,572 --> 00:43:16,883
I think Ellen is changing.
644
00:43:17,727 --> 00:43:19,727
I hope she's not getting
in league with the nuns.
645
00:43:20,445 --> 00:43:21,260
Against us.
646
00:43:21,660 --> 00:43:24,500
Ellen would never do that.
- She's taken to lighting those candles.
647
00:43:26,228 --> 00:43:29,299
I think I'll blow them out.
- Ellen wouldn't like that.
648
00:43:37,250 --> 00:43:39,018
Why should she have
everything her own way?
649
00:43:45,983 --> 00:43:47,147
Emily.
650
00:43:47,882 --> 00:43:50,640
What have you done?
- Something I wanted to do.
651
00:43:53,975 --> 00:43:55,167
[ Door knocks ]
652
00:43:57,910 --> 00:44:02,446
Louisa .. answer the door dear. Sister
Theresa's probably forgotten something.
653
00:44:02,792 --> 00:44:04,069
[ Door knocks ]
654
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:15,529
Alright.
655
00:44:15,879 --> 00:44:17,664
Don't be like that. I won't eat you.
656
00:44:20,998 --> 00:44:22,181
Who are you?
657
00:44:24,238 --> 00:44:25,637
And what do you want?
658
00:44:28,407 --> 00:44:29,447
Dear aunt Ellen.
659
00:44:30,236 --> 00:44:31,460
After all these years.
660
00:44:33,102 --> 00:44:35,749
What a family reunion. I'm Albert.
Don't you remember me?
661
00:44:35,965 --> 00:44:36,876
Albert.
662
00:44:37,941 --> 00:44:40,363
Of course. Rose's boy.
- So it is.
663
00:44:40,644 --> 00:44:43,402
Fancy Albert being here.
- Where on earth did you come from?
664
00:44:43,771 --> 00:44:45,815
Gravesend .. on a duck's back.
665
00:44:46,335 --> 00:44:48,923
It's Albert right enough.
Always saying funny things.
666
00:44:49,151 --> 00:44:51,064
He's soaked through.
- Yes, so I see.
667
00:44:51,292 --> 00:44:53,195
Don't stand there dripping
all over my best rug.
668
00:44:53,411 --> 00:44:55,045
Go by the fire with your wet things.
669
00:44:55,353 --> 00:44:58,190
That's more like my loving auntie.
My very distant auntie.
670
00:44:59,169 --> 00:45:03,139
Now we'll have fun with Albert here.
I'll go and fetch him a dressing gown.
671
00:45:03,573 --> 00:45:06,231
And I'll get him a towel.
So he can dry himself.
672
00:45:16,093 --> 00:45:17,967
Blimey, if that don't half
make my mouth water.
673
00:45:18,244 --> 00:45:21,154
Some nice, tasty grub and something
warm to chase it down the hatchway.
674
00:45:21,586 --> 00:45:22,690
That's what I need.
675
00:45:23,023 --> 00:45:25,422
Albert, tell me. Why have you come here?
676
00:45:26,169 --> 00:45:28,530
That can wait until I'm dry outside.
And not so dry, in.
677
00:45:28,779 --> 00:45:30,060
There you are, Albert.
678
00:45:30,552 --> 00:45:31,975
Thanks, me old cup of tea.
679
00:45:32,431 --> 00:45:34,816
Emily, slice off some beef,
and put out the bread and cheese.
680
00:45:35,830 --> 00:45:38,158
A pint of half-and-half would
be the proper ticket with that.
681
00:45:38,374 --> 00:45:39,680
This isn't a Tavern, Albert.
682
00:45:40,391 --> 00:45:43,061
How about a spot of brandy to
take the damp out of my throat?
683
00:45:43,426 --> 00:45:45,228
I'm unsure there's any
left in the decanter.
684
00:45:45,444 --> 00:45:46,717
There's some in the cellar.
685
00:45:47,395 --> 00:45:49,813
A cellar, eh? Your Ladyship,
allow me to lead you to it.
686
00:45:50,487 --> 00:45:52,705
No .. I'll go myself.
687
00:45:54,020 --> 00:45:55,499
Make way for the Duchess.
688
00:46:27,321 --> 00:46:29,640
Blimey. The view from here
is the best on the marshes.
689
00:46:30,542 --> 00:46:33,481
I say auntie, is this all yours?
- No, of course not.
690
00:46:34,251 --> 00:46:36,166
It belongs to the woman
I work for. Miss Fiske.
691
00:46:37,011 --> 00:46:39,510
Where is she, might I ask?
- Away.
692
00:46:41,683 --> 00:46:44,148
Five years, auntie old girl.
- What of it?
693
00:46:44,453 --> 00:46:46,646
You've changed.
- You've not.
694
00:46:47,504 --> 00:46:50,373
The same big blue eyes though.
You're still Lady touch-me-not.
695
00:46:50,847 --> 00:46:53,265
Let go of me. I'm in no
mood for your foolishness.
696
00:46:54,208 --> 00:46:55,739
The way you seem to be all keyed up.
697
00:46:55,999 --> 00:46:58,072
A little of my foolishness
just might do you no harm.
698
00:47:01,721 --> 00:47:02,961
Here's your food, Albert.
699
00:47:04,313 --> 00:47:07,205
Run up to bed, both of you.
I want to talk with Albert.
700
00:47:07,421 --> 00:47:10,580
But we don't want to go to bed.
- No, we want to stay to talk to Albert.
701
00:47:10,905 --> 00:47:13,857
Go on, do as aunt Ellen says. Toddle off
to bye-byes like good little girls.
702
00:47:14,125 --> 00:47:16,821
Here, wait. Why don't you wet your
whistles. It will make you sleep tight.
703
00:47:17,178 --> 00:47:19,055
Sleep tight. Albert, you are silly.
704
00:47:19,553 --> 00:47:22,004
I don't think they'd better, Albert.
- What's the harm?
705
00:47:22,483 --> 00:47:24,708
You don't have a long-lost
nephew every night of the week.
706
00:47:25,121 --> 00:47:26,369
Fetch some glasses, Emily.
707
00:47:26,585 --> 00:47:29,797
Very well, but not too much now.
- Just a tiny thimbleful for me, Albert.
708
00:47:31,252 --> 00:47:32,688
How about you, aunt Ellen?
709
00:47:33,327 --> 00:47:34,716
Nothing for me, thank you.
710
00:47:37,757 --> 00:47:40,199
Now, my Siamese twins.
What about a toast, eh?
711
00:47:40,523 --> 00:47:41,905
I don't know any.
712
00:47:42,140 --> 00:47:44,008
In that case, here's to absent friends.
713
00:47:44,328 --> 00:47:45,464
Absent friends.
714
00:47:46,046 --> 00:47:48,543
Ellen, I suppose we
should think of Miss Fiske.
715
00:48:01,321 --> 00:48:03,604
Who put out those candles?
- What candles?
716
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,445
Oh those.
- It must have been the wind.
717
00:48:10,055 --> 00:48:11,998
Goodnight, Albert.
- Goodnight my lady.
718
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,204
Goodnight, Albert.
- Goodnight.
719
00:48:21,642 --> 00:48:23,379
It wasn't the wind, Ellen.
720
00:48:38,904 --> 00:48:41,109
I say auntie, you've not
turned Roman have you?
721
00:48:41,466 --> 00:48:42,763
I do this for a friend.
722
00:48:48,243 --> 00:48:49,129
Now, Albert.
723
00:48:49,869 --> 00:48:52,134
Let's stop all this 'auntie' nonsense
and get down to cases.
724
00:48:52,862 --> 00:48:54,748
Why have you come here
and what do you want?
725
00:48:55,073 --> 00:48:56,918
Well auntie .. I mean, Ellen.
726
00:48:57,692 --> 00:49:02,208
To cut it fine, I'm taking a compulsory
holiday from my bank over in Gravesend.
727
00:49:02,602 --> 00:49:05,107
In other words, you've lost your job.
- I've given it up.
728
00:49:05,738 --> 00:49:07,522
You haven't done anything
wrong, have you?
729
00:49:09,237 --> 00:49:11,605
I sort-of helped myself to a
little salary I wasn't entitled to.
730
00:49:12,885 --> 00:49:14,393
You mean, you've stolen money.
731
00:49:16,415 --> 00:49:19,181
This is rattling good brandy.
- Answer me, Albert.
732
00:49:21,270 --> 00:49:23,848
You've got it.
- How much?
733
00:49:24,594 --> 00:49:27,402
A small matter of a hundred pounds.
- I'll see.
734
00:49:30,342 --> 00:49:33,271
I suppose you want me to give you the
hundred pounds so you can put it back?
735
00:49:33,515 --> 00:49:36,477
I'm afraid it's too late for that.
They found out, the police.
736
00:49:37,180 --> 00:49:38,164
The police?
737
00:49:38,389 --> 00:49:42,016
A friend passed me the tip they were
coming. So I .. I took French leave.
738
00:49:42,455 --> 00:49:44,956
But .. they'll follow you.
They'll come here.
739
00:49:46,079 --> 00:49:49,774
Don't worry .. no-one knows I've got
relations out here on the marshes.
740
00:49:51,122 --> 00:49:52,699
I'll be safe here for a lifetime.
741
00:49:53,159 --> 00:49:55,319
You're certainly not going
to stay here for a lifetime.
742
00:49:55,769 --> 00:49:57,815
Surely you don't mind me
staying for a while, do you?
743
00:49:58,340 --> 00:50:00,745
Until it all blows over.
- Then what do you propose to do?
744
00:50:01,094 --> 00:50:03,725
Clear out of the country.
America, Australia. Any old where.
745
00:50:04,230 --> 00:50:06,552
I'm .. counting on you to help me.
746
00:50:06,868 --> 00:50:08,188
I need money for my passage.
747
00:50:08,631 --> 00:50:09,630
I'm .. I'm stony.
748
00:50:11,353 --> 00:50:13,246
It won't cost much. Steerage.
749
00:50:13,691 --> 00:50:15,882
I don't see why I should concern
myself with your affairs.
750
00:50:16,414 --> 00:50:17,870
I'll land in prison if you don't.
751
00:50:19,541 --> 00:50:22,420
You're not the sort to turn anybody down
who's in trouble and needed your help.
752
00:50:23,210 --> 00:50:24,969
You wouldn't fail your
own flesh and blood.
753
00:50:25,185 --> 00:50:27,020
I'm no flesh and blood of yours, Albert.
754
00:50:27,468 --> 00:50:29,199
Won't you give me a
chance to start again?
755
00:50:29,415 --> 00:50:30,734
I promise. Cross my heart.
756
00:50:31,090 --> 00:50:33,457
I'll never do anything wrong
again for the rest of my natural.
757
00:50:33,673 --> 00:50:35,143
Let me go.
758
00:50:41,301 --> 00:50:44,030
Very well. I'll do it.
- Bless you, Ellen.
759
00:50:44,415 --> 00:50:46,973
You're a daisy, you are.
- We'll talk about it in the morning.
760
00:50:47,820 --> 00:50:50,180
You can sleep on the sofa tonight.
- I don't mind where I sleep.
761
00:50:50,396 --> 00:50:51,419
But mind you ..
762
00:50:51,635 --> 00:50:54,218
You can only stay until I've
arranged your passage on the boat.
763
00:50:54,434 --> 00:50:57,466
Anything you say,
Ellen old girl .. what's that?
764
00:50:57,983 --> 00:50:59,945
That's just the maid.
She's been out on an errand.
765
00:51:01,006 --> 00:51:02,550
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss?
766
00:51:04,518 --> 00:51:06,220
They'll be a gentleman
staying the night.
767
00:51:06,639 --> 00:51:07,819
A gentleman staying?
768
00:51:08,099 --> 00:51:09,776
A relation. He'll sleep in here.
769
00:51:10,033 --> 00:51:12,679
Now go to your room and change your
wet clothes before you start sneezing.
770
00:51:12,895 --> 00:51:15,090
Yes, Miss .. goodnight.
- Goodnight.
771
00:51:15,306 --> 00:51:16,096
Goodnight.
772
00:51:16,620 --> 00:51:17,557
'Lucy', is it?
773
00:51:19,035 --> 00:51:20,472
Yes .. Lucy.
774
00:51:23,706 --> 00:51:25,687
I fancy that's all for
tonight, aunt Ellen.
775
00:51:26,138 --> 00:51:29,180
I'll just have a weed before
I turn in. The last of the day.
776
00:51:30,306 --> 00:51:32,729
You seem to be taking this
all very lightly, Albert.
777
00:51:33,490 --> 00:51:35,166
You have told me the worst, haven't you?
778
00:51:35,601 --> 00:51:38,110
I mean, there isn't anything else?
- What else?
779
00:51:40,653 --> 00:51:42,212
There are worse things than stealing.
780
00:51:42,987 --> 00:51:43,994
For instance?
781
00:51:45,828 --> 00:51:47,359
No, there's no blood on my hands.
782
00:51:47,743 --> 00:51:49,703
Putting people out calls
for <i>real </i>nerve, you know.
783
00:51:54,270 --> 00:51:55,303
Yes.
784
00:51:59,547 --> 00:52:01,321
Goodnight, Albert.
- Nighty night.
785
00:53:12,967 --> 00:53:15,145
Did you enjoy the sermon, Mr Bates?
786
00:53:15,603 --> 00:53:16,818
Mighty powerful, Miss.
787
00:53:17,293 --> 00:53:18,797
Yes. It was, wasn't it.
788
00:53:20,284 --> 00:53:22,109
But there was a lot I didn't understand.
789
00:53:23,490 --> 00:53:24,866
The part that went ..
790
00:53:25,639 --> 00:53:26,568
How was it?
791
00:53:27,496 --> 00:53:29,004
The wicked flee.
792
00:53:30,087 --> 00:53:32,717
When no man .. pursueth.
793
00:53:34,739 --> 00:53:36,575
But .. but ..
794
00:53:38,561 --> 00:53:41,233
The righteous are as bold as a lion.
795
00:54:08,319 --> 00:54:09,297
Well.
796
00:54:10,743 --> 00:54:12,479
What do you think you're doing?
797
00:54:13,690 --> 00:54:16,840
I fooled around with this padlock
last night and it .. came off.
798
00:54:17,592 --> 00:54:18,689
You shouldn't have.
799
00:54:19,344 --> 00:54:21,297
That's where Miss Fiske
keeps her valuables.
800
00:54:21,551 --> 00:54:23,794
How does she get at them?
With a pickaxe? Look.
801
00:54:25,898 --> 00:54:28,667
Well I never. All bricked up.
802
00:54:29,531 --> 00:54:31,248
I wonder why that was done.
803
00:54:31,530 --> 00:54:33,342
It wasn't that way the
last time I was here.
804
00:54:33,821 --> 00:54:35,868
So you've had your nose
in there before, have you?
805
00:54:36,948 --> 00:54:39,174
Funny what nasty thoughts
people have sometimes, isn't it.
806
00:54:39,390 --> 00:54:41,597
Funny how they're right
sometimes, isn't it.
807
00:54:59,037 --> 00:55:01,443
I wonder why anyone would want
to brick up a place like that?
808
00:55:02,492 --> 00:55:05,171
Maybe Miss Fiske put her jewels
in there before she went away.
809
00:55:05,807 --> 00:55:08,881
You know .. she's not one to take
any chances leaving them about.
810
00:55:09,234 --> 00:55:10,530
Even with your aunt Ellen.
811
00:55:12,817 --> 00:55:15,523
If there are any sparkles in there,
I wouldn't mind having a peep at them.
812
00:55:15,748 --> 00:55:18,262
I'm sure you wouldn't.
- And neither would you, I dare say.
813
00:55:19,833 --> 00:55:24,037
In fact .. I'm sure you'd like the feel
of some around your swan-like neck.
814
00:55:26,610 --> 00:55:28,629
A pretty pink ear like
that calls for diamonds.
815
00:55:29,014 --> 00:55:31,473
A wandering hand like yours
calls for a slap in the face.
816
00:55:31,821 --> 00:55:33,675
It's wicked to slap a
man's face on a Sunday.
817
00:55:33,981 --> 00:55:35,745
The better the day, the better the deed.
818
00:55:36,179 --> 00:55:37,595
That leaves my conscience clear.
819
00:55:42,243 --> 00:55:43,680
I'll scream.
820
00:55:45,098 --> 00:55:46,140
What's that?
821
00:55:52,703 --> 00:55:55,550
What do you think I'm made of?
- Sugar and spice.
822
00:55:56,874 --> 00:55:58,131
And everything nice.
823
00:56:01,849 --> 00:56:03,164
Blimey, you're strong.
824
00:56:06,001 --> 00:56:07,586
It's a wig. Whose is it?
825
00:56:08,854 --> 00:56:10,150
It is Miss Fiske's.
826
00:56:10,705 --> 00:56:12,391
Oh, it's her best one.
827
00:56:13,295 --> 00:56:15,239
She's as bald as a coot.
- Ah.
828
00:56:15,455 --> 00:56:17,042
A wonder she didn't take it with her.
829
00:56:18,291 --> 00:56:19,267
Hello.
830
00:56:19,605 --> 00:56:22,290
Ah, she left a lot of
her fancy dresses too.
831
00:56:23,063 --> 00:56:24,930
Perhaps she'll buy some
new ones up in London?
832
00:56:25,392 --> 00:56:26,938
These are new. Most of them.
833
00:56:27,918 --> 00:56:30,059
You'd better put that back up.
- Alright.
834
00:56:30,285 --> 00:56:31,783
Get up on this chair.
835
00:56:39,798 --> 00:56:41,554
You know, it <i>is</i> odd
she only took one wig.
836
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:45,357
On a trip, anything might happen.
A fire or a gust of wind.
837
00:56:45,751 --> 00:56:46,409
Oh.
838
00:56:47,720 --> 00:56:49,195
Here's Emily coming up the path.
839
00:56:50,109 --> 00:56:51,329
You'd better be off.
840
00:56:57,184 --> 00:56:58,794
Hello my old cup of tea.
841
00:57:00,310 --> 00:57:02,634
What are you doing with those
bull-rushes? Looking for Moses?
842
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,371
You're making fun of me .. naughty boy.
843
00:57:28,649 --> 00:57:31,405
Hello Ducky .. I'm glad you're
back before the others.
844
00:57:31,964 --> 00:57:34,668
It isn't often I have the chance of
a tête-à-tête with the family's fairest.
845
00:57:34,884 --> 00:57:36,672
You're never serious
about anything, Albert.
846
00:57:36,888 --> 00:57:38,846
I was never more serious in my life.
847
00:57:40,212 --> 00:57:42,518
The storm did an enormous
amount of damage.
848
00:57:42,869 --> 00:57:45,494
Roads into Rochester and Gravesend
were completely flooded.
849
00:57:46,258 --> 00:57:48,836
The Postman told me.
- I hope they stay that way.
850
00:57:50,098 --> 00:57:51,558
Allow me, Empress.
851
00:57:52,362 --> 00:57:54,681
There's only one letter today.
It's for Miss Fiske.
852
00:57:55,047 --> 00:57:55,755
Is it?
853
00:58:01,577 --> 00:58:03,226
It's a cosy nest you got here.
854
00:58:03,605 --> 00:58:05,661
What's will happen to you
when Miss Fiske gets back?
855
00:58:05,896 --> 00:58:07,596
Will she let you stay on, do you think?
856
00:58:11,455 --> 00:58:12,701
She isn't coming back.
857
00:58:13,532 --> 00:58:14,548
Why not?
858
00:58:15,342 --> 00:58:16,575
Ellen's bought the house.
859
00:58:19,252 --> 00:58:19,924
Go on.
860
00:58:20,140 --> 00:58:21,241
Yes. It's quite true.
861
00:58:22,049 --> 00:58:23,150
It's a secret though.
862
00:58:23,366 --> 00:58:26,001
Ellen made us swear on the bible
that we wouldn't tell anyone.
863
00:58:26,218 --> 00:58:28,300
But you are one of the family.
So it's alright.
864
00:58:29,873 --> 00:58:31,661
Why should she want
to keep it a secret, eh?
865
00:58:31,877 --> 00:58:33,636
I don't know.
It was done in a great hurry.
866
00:58:33,873 --> 00:58:35,534
Louisa and I were sent off to Rochester.
867
00:58:35,750 --> 00:58:38,669
Then when we came back that night,
Miss Fiske was gone and it was all over.
868
00:58:40,902 --> 00:58:42,862
You won't tell Ellen I told
you, will you, Albert?
869
00:58:43,234 --> 00:58:43,975
No.
870
00:58:45,212 --> 00:58:47,000
We'll make that our
little secret, shall we?
871
00:58:47,335 --> 00:58:48,064
Alright.
872
00:58:50,086 --> 00:58:52,513
It will be rather fun.
Having a secret from Ellen.
873
00:58:53,143 --> 00:58:55,628
She thinks she's the clever one.
But she isn't.
874
00:58:57,109 --> 00:58:57,924
Not always.
875
00:58:59,816 --> 00:59:00,402
No.
876
00:59:01,225 --> 00:59:02,040
Not always.
877
00:59:17,517 --> 00:59:19,294
Albert.
- What?
878
00:59:25,153 --> 00:59:26,418
Good morning.
879
00:59:28,974 --> 00:59:30,034
May we come in?
880
00:59:30,250 --> 00:59:32,261
Who's that?
- A couple of nuns from The Priory.
881
00:59:33,048 --> 00:59:36,099
You talk to them, Albert.
I've got to tidy up the orchard.
882
00:59:47,032 --> 00:59:51,087
Oh .. I didn't know there was
a young man staying here.
883
00:59:51,632 --> 00:59:52,844
Is Miss Ellen about?
884
00:59:53,060 --> 00:59:55,956
Sorry. She's gone over to the church at
Cawley. I'm her nephew, can I help?
885
00:59:56,487 --> 01:00:00,357
We came to return this. She lent us
a little oil last night. We ran short.
886
01:00:00,792 --> 01:00:02,060
Thanks.
- Yes, and this.
887
01:00:02,634 --> 01:00:04,846
The rent for the little field.
Your aunt will understand.
888
01:00:05,106 --> 01:00:06,179
I'll give it to her.
889
01:00:06,395 --> 01:00:08,788
We are so looking forward
to Miss Fiske's return.
890
01:00:09,371 --> 01:00:10,864
She's a dear friend of ours.
891
01:00:11,239 --> 01:00:14,646
Oh .. have you .. heard from her lately?
892
01:00:15,031 --> 01:00:16,218
No, not a word.
893
01:00:16,752 --> 01:00:19,335
I think the Reverend Mother is
a trifle hurt she hasn't written.
894
01:00:19,678 --> 01:00:22,281
In fact, she didn't even tell
us she was going away.
895
01:00:22,777 --> 01:00:25,295
Not very chummy, was it.
- No, it wasn't.
896
01:00:26,837 --> 01:00:28,232
Good morning.
- Good morning.
897
01:01:05,242 --> 01:01:07,671
Now what are you up to?
- Fetch me a knife, Ducky.
898
01:01:15,499 --> 01:01:17,170
What's that?
- A letter for Miss Fiske.
899
01:01:17,511 --> 01:01:19,943
You're not going to open it?
- No. Wouldn't think of it.
900
01:01:24,242 --> 01:01:25,431
What's it say?
901
01:01:26,201 --> 01:01:28,502
'Dear Madam.
Regarding your instructions ..'
902
01:01:28,718 --> 01:01:31,591
'To forward the amount of the
enclosed cheque in 5-pound notes'.
903
01:01:32,239 --> 01:01:36,889
'Your signature appears to differ from
that with which we are acquainted'.
904
01:01:38,793 --> 01:01:41,444
'We should be obliged if you
could kindly confirm same ..'
905
01:01:41,845 --> 01:01:44,354
'By signing it afresh.
In your usual manner'.
906
01:01:48,582 --> 01:01:49,634
Fifty pounds.
907
01:01:50,633 --> 01:01:51,591
Notice the date.
908
01:01:52,218 --> 01:01:53,703
'October 14th'.
909
01:01:54,794 --> 01:01:57,258
That's three days ago.
She's been gone longer than that.
910
01:01:57,803 --> 01:01:59,484
Since the beginning of September.
911
01:02:00,292 --> 01:02:02,329
She probably made it
out from wherever she is.
912
01:02:02,949 --> 01:02:04,986
Yes, she could have. Hey, wait a minute.
913
01:02:06,442 --> 01:02:08,765
In that case, why did they
send the reply to her here?
914
01:02:10,183 --> 01:02:11,666
You see who it's made payable to?
915
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:14,680
Ellen Creed.
916
01:02:15,506 --> 01:02:17,785
What of it? I expect it's
the housekeeping money.
917
01:02:18,380 --> 01:02:21,488
Maybe. Where's the glue-pot?
- Over there.
918
01:02:21,704 --> 01:02:23,015
Get it for me.
919
01:02:28,096 --> 01:02:30,146
Dip your finger in it.
- I should say not.
920
01:02:30,516 --> 01:02:31,817
I've had no hand in this.
921
01:02:33,119 --> 01:02:33,963
Haven't you?
922
01:02:35,383 --> 01:02:37,379
You are a filthy pig.
- Go on. Seal it up.
923
01:02:38,971 --> 01:02:39,930
Go on.
924
01:02:44,402 --> 01:02:46,276
Don't forget.
You're in this as deep as me now.
925
01:02:46,550 --> 01:02:48,124
I wish you'd never come here.
926
01:02:48,888 --> 01:02:51,488
I don't know what comes over
me when you're around.
927
01:02:52,752 --> 01:02:54,483
You won't give me away
to Ellen, will you?
928
01:02:54,699 --> 01:02:56,230
I won't if you keep your mouth shut.
929
01:03:03,357 --> 01:03:06,241
Here come the performing seals.
Not a word, mind you.
930
01:03:17,604 --> 01:03:18,397
Albert.
931
01:03:18,622 --> 01:03:20,252
Hello, aunts .. had a nice pray?
932
01:03:20,492 --> 01:03:22,114
You should have been at church, Albert.
933
01:03:22,576 --> 01:03:24,609
The minister told us all about Hell.
934
01:03:25,016 --> 01:03:27,336
You'd have enjoyed the
bit about the lost souls ..
935
01:03:27,682 --> 01:03:29,251
Sizzling in the bottomless pit.
936
01:03:29,554 --> 01:03:31,970
Would I now? Sounds frightening.
937
01:03:32,540 --> 01:03:34,859
Ellen .. where is Hell?
938
01:03:37,451 --> 01:03:39,443
Hell is like the Kingdom of Heaven.
939
01:03:41,672 --> 01:03:42,552
It is within.
940
01:03:43,037 --> 01:03:43,995
That reminds me.
941
01:03:44,310 --> 01:03:45,926
One of your religious friends was here.
942
01:03:46,258 --> 01:03:49,076
She left you this.
It's the rent for some field or other.
943
01:03:50,580 --> 01:03:52,568
She didn't see you, did she?
- I couldn't avoid it.
944
01:03:52,784 --> 01:03:54,258
That was Sister Theresa.
945
01:03:55,171 --> 01:03:59,138
She's Miss Fiske's friend. She doesn't
like us any more than Miss Fiske did.
946
01:03:59,974 --> 01:04:01,311
Didn't Miss Fiske like you?
947
01:04:01,981 --> 01:04:03,098
She was horrid to us.
948
01:04:03,344 --> 01:04:05,103
Louisa, run upstairs
and change your dress.
949
01:04:05,417 --> 01:04:07,148
You can't sit around
in your best all day.
950
01:04:07,445 --> 01:04:08,575
No. I shan't, shall I.
951
01:04:09,221 --> 01:04:10,348
No. Of course not.
952
01:04:12,538 --> 01:04:13,819
Albert.
- Huh?
953
01:04:14,096 --> 01:04:16,776
I don't want you to mention Miss Fiske
again in front of my sisters.
954
01:04:17,336 --> 01:04:18,819
They quarrelled with her.
955
01:04:19,382 --> 01:04:21,392
And it upsets them very
much to talk about her.
956
01:04:22,012 --> 01:04:23,364
Sorry. Nobody told me.
957
01:04:24,555 --> 01:04:26,055
What did you quarrel about?
958
01:04:26,666 --> 01:04:28,328
I didn't say I quarrelled with her.
959
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,220
Would she by any chance be the friend
you lit those candles for last night?
960
01:04:37,276 --> 01:04:38,187
Yes.
961
01:04:39,145 --> 01:04:40,469
When did she die?
962
01:04:42,779 --> 01:04:43,699
Die?
963
01:04:44,779 --> 01:04:46,516
Who said anything about her being dead?
964
01:04:47,042 --> 01:04:50,858
I just assumed she was.
You don't light candles for the living.
965
01:04:51,493 --> 01:04:53,352
Do you?
- I don't know.
966
01:04:54,178 --> 01:04:55,831
I just thought they stood for prayer.
967
01:04:56,685 --> 01:04:58,451
I must find Emily.
- By the way.
968
01:04:58,779 --> 01:05:00,614
The postman gave her
a letter for Miss Fiske.
969
01:05:00,911 --> 01:05:02,450
From her bank, I believe.
970
01:05:03,202 --> 01:05:04,375
Give it to me.
971
01:05:14,895 --> 01:05:16,951
I'm managing all her
affairs while she's away.
972
01:05:29,109 --> 01:05:31,579
Anything important?
- Yes, rather.
973
01:05:32,625 --> 01:05:34,512
I must get an answer
in the post immediately.
974
01:05:39,075 --> 01:05:40,763
A stylish looking piano you've got here.
975
01:05:41,029 --> 01:05:43,016
Don't distract me, Albert.
I must concentrate.
976
01:05:43,301 --> 01:05:45,026
I'm sorry. Don't mind me, auntie.
977
01:05:59,907 --> 01:06:01,335
I say, you are up to date.
978
01:06:02,020 --> 01:06:04,648
I didn't expect to find a copy of
The Mikado way out here on the marshes.
979
01:06:10,467 --> 01:06:12,747
[ Whistling song: Tit-Willow ]
980
01:06:20,224 --> 01:06:21,491
Don't do that.
981
01:06:22,064 --> 01:06:24,252
I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to distract you.
982
01:06:25,378 --> 01:06:27,960
It's just I happen to dislike that
particular tune. That's all.
983
01:06:28,261 --> 01:06:29,932
It's a bit on the morbid side.
984
01:06:35,775 --> 01:06:37,740
Miss Ellen, how soon
will you want dinner?
985
01:06:38,044 --> 01:06:39,402
In a quarter of an hour, Lucy.
986
01:06:39,624 --> 01:06:41,383
I'll just post this
letter at the crossing.
987
01:06:41,801 --> 01:06:42,788
Let me go, Ellen.
988
01:06:43,019 --> 01:06:44,372
I can do with a sniff of air.
989
01:06:44,588 --> 01:06:46,710
No thank you.
I prefer to attend to this myself.
990
01:07:20,938 --> 01:07:22,723
What are you up to now?
991
01:07:23,124 --> 01:07:24,998
She just wrote a reply to
the letter we opened.
992
01:07:25,426 --> 01:07:27,560
I thought it would be interesting
to see what she says.
993
01:07:28,703 --> 01:07:29,518
'Dear sir'.
994
01:07:30,198 --> 01:07:30,956
'Cheque'.
995
01:07:31,301 --> 01:07:32,168
Something.
996
01:07:32,562 --> 01:07:33,406
'Incorrect'.
997
01:07:34,231 --> 01:07:35,018
Something.
998
01:07:35,529 --> 01:07:36,258
'Owing'.
999
01:07:36,987 --> 01:07:38,671
Something, something.
1000
01:07:39,444 --> 01:07:40,350
'Wrist'.
1001
01:07:41,875 --> 01:07:43,870
What does that word
look like to you? See.
1002
01:07:44,636 --> 01:07:47,233
'S .. p .. r ..'
1003
01:07:47,779 --> 01:07:48,718
S .. p .. r.
1004
01:07:49,226 --> 01:07:50,685
'Sprained'. That's it.
1005
01:07:51,092 --> 01:07:52,394
'Owing to a sprained wrist'.
1006
01:07:53,878 --> 01:07:54,922
Something. 'Yours'.
1007
01:07:55,374 --> 01:07:56,225
'Leonora'.
1008
01:07:57,357 --> 01:07:58,758
'Leonora Fiske'.
1009
01:08:01,625 --> 01:08:03,040
She signed it 'Leonora Fiske'.
1010
01:08:03,525 --> 01:08:04,684
What's it mean, Albert?
1011
01:08:05,493 --> 01:08:06,665
What do you think?
1012
01:08:07,266 --> 01:08:09,506
It looks as if she's pretending
to be Miss Fiske.
1013
01:08:10,308 --> 01:08:12,239
Getting money on the strength of it.
- Brilliant.
1014
01:08:12,455 --> 01:08:13,845
If that's true, she's a thief.
1015
01:08:14,342 --> 01:08:15,535
Like you.
- Shut up.
1016
01:08:18,319 --> 01:08:20,417
What will happen when
Miss Fiske comes back?
1017
01:08:23,624 --> 01:08:25,061
Suppose she isn't coming back?
1018
01:08:26,187 --> 01:08:29,149
Suppose she's died somewhere.
And Ellen is the only one who knows.
1019
01:08:29,485 --> 01:08:31,229
You can't die and only
one person know it.
1020
01:08:31,445 --> 01:08:32,744
Can't you? I'm not so sure.
1021
01:08:34,460 --> 01:08:35,600
One thing I do know.
1022
01:08:35,906 --> 01:08:38,896
She'd never risk it unless she knew
Miss Fiske was out of the way for good.
1023
01:08:39,955 --> 01:08:43,091
Alright .. assume she's dead.
Aunt Ellen is having the funds.
1024
01:08:43,645 --> 01:08:45,721
It might be years before
anybody would find out.
1025
01:08:48,011 --> 01:08:49,815
Why should she reap all the benefit?
1026
01:08:55,455 --> 01:08:57,100
There may be some pickings in it for us.
1027
01:08:57,481 --> 01:08:59,841
Would you like to see a bit of the
world? Have some fun with me?
1028
01:09:00,057 --> 01:09:01,907
You'd tempt Old Nick
himself, wouldn't you?
1029
01:09:02,123 --> 01:09:03,540
You've got to help me get proof.
1030
01:09:03,775 --> 01:09:05,763
I don't want to do anything
mean or underhanded.
1031
01:09:06,113 --> 01:09:09,069
Would I ask you to? Use your eyes
and keep your ears open. That's all.
1032
01:09:09,863 --> 01:09:10,821
What do you say?
1033
01:09:11,696 --> 01:09:12,720
I don't know.
1034
01:09:12,936 --> 01:09:14,752
Perhaps this will help
you make up your mind.
1035
01:09:20,189 --> 01:09:22,321
Well?
- I'll help you, Albert.
1036
01:09:23,541 --> 01:09:25,685
Here she comes. Look sharp now.
Back to the kitchen.
1037
01:10:47,655 --> 01:10:48,984
She's coming.
1038
01:10:49,341 --> 01:10:51,214
Blimey. You almost made
me frightened myself.
1039
01:10:51,698 --> 01:10:53,567
Hurry up, hurry up.
- Alright. Shut up.
1040
01:10:57,097 --> 01:10:59,119
Hey, go in the kitchen
and make some tea.
1041
01:11:00,769 --> 01:11:03,053
Take this with you. Go on, hurry.
1042
01:11:08,868 --> 01:11:10,408
Goodnight, Bates.
- Night, ma'am.
1043
01:11:10,665 --> 01:11:12,424
Don't forget.
Ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
1044
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:13,710
Very good, ma'am.
1045
01:11:24,420 --> 01:11:25,960
Did you have a successful trip?
1046
01:11:29,358 --> 01:11:30,324
Yes.
1047
01:11:31,452 --> 01:11:32,615
I have your ticket.
1048
01:11:33,462 --> 01:11:35,112
You leave tomorrow.
1049
01:11:36,730 --> 01:11:37,873
Do I?
1050
01:11:38,909 --> 01:11:41,037
Where are my sisters?
- I sent them off to bed.
1051
01:11:41,594 --> 01:11:44,567
They were getting a little out of hand.
- I dare say it wasn't their fault.
1052
01:11:45,180 --> 01:11:46,694
Lucy is making some hot tea.
1053
01:11:47,190 --> 01:11:48,628
We thought you might be cold.
1054
01:11:49,171 --> 01:11:51,500
I'll be down again .. as soon as
I've said goodnight to them.
1055
01:12:05,306 --> 01:12:06,436
Is everything alright?
1056
01:12:06,652 --> 01:12:09,253
No it's not. She's packing me off
tomorrow. We've got to move fast.
1057
01:12:10,013 --> 01:12:14,109
You haven't changed your mind, have you?
- I couldn't refuse you anything .. now.
1058
01:12:17,711 --> 01:12:20,732
We thought you'd never come,
Ellen .. I was frightened.
1059
01:12:21,412 --> 01:12:22,227
Frightened?
1060
01:12:22,443 --> 01:12:24,128
Yes, they were such funny noises.
1061
01:12:24,896 --> 01:12:26,049
It was only the rats.
1062
01:12:27,710 --> 01:12:29,343
What have you been doing all evening?
1063
01:12:29,794 --> 01:12:33,166
We played a game of cribbage.
Of course, Albert cheated.
1064
01:12:33,475 --> 01:12:35,420
But it was rather fun
watching him cheat.
1065
01:12:36,156 --> 01:12:38,001
He hasn't said anything
about Miss Fiske?
1066
01:12:38,432 --> 01:12:39,681
No.
- Miss Fiske?
1067
01:12:41,073 --> 01:12:41,974
Why should he?
1068
01:12:42,322 --> 01:12:44,819
And neither of you spoke to him
about my buying the house?
1069
01:12:45,173 --> 01:12:46,021
No, Ellen.
1070
01:12:46,441 --> 01:12:47,399
Do you remember?
1071
01:12:47,678 --> 01:12:49,855
You made us swear on
the bible we wouldn't.
1072
01:12:53,352 --> 01:12:55,327
I think you'd better go to
sleep now, both of you.
1073
01:12:55,778 --> 01:12:58,491
I'm going downstairs to have a
hot cup of tea before I go to bed.
1074
01:13:11,633 --> 01:13:14,151
Albert, do you think ..?
- Pour the tea, Lucy.
1075
01:13:21,955 --> 01:13:24,408
Thank you Lucy. You may go to bed now.
- Yes, Miss Ellen.
1076
01:13:24,946 --> 01:13:26,345
Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
1077
01:13:36,366 --> 01:13:37,639
Auntie, where is your cane?
1078
01:13:38,312 --> 01:13:40,981
You look like you'd like to take down
my breeches and give me a dozen.
1079
01:13:42,223 --> 01:13:45,038
There's a boat sailing for Canada
on Friday. You sail with it.
1080
01:13:46,295 --> 01:13:47,826
I'm not sure I want to go to Canada.
1081
01:13:48,849 --> 01:13:49,693
Yet a while.
1082
01:13:50,173 --> 01:13:51,779
You haven't much choice, have you?
1083
01:13:52,201 --> 01:13:54,201
I don't know. I'm getting
quite fond of this place.
1084
01:13:54,463 --> 01:13:57,278
The air suits me .. I'm very
happy here for the time being.
1085
01:13:57,793 --> 01:13:59,765
I'm not happy having you here.
- Why?
1086
01:14:01,027 --> 01:14:03,956
It isn't safe since Sister Theresa
knows you're staying here with us.
1087
01:14:04,613 --> 01:14:07,129
The wrong sort of talk would bring
the police around here in no time.
1088
01:14:07,692 --> 01:14:09,826
I don't propose to risk a
scandal on your account.
1089
01:14:10,979 --> 01:14:12,484
There's more to it than that.
1090
01:14:13,552 --> 01:14:14,914
Lucy is apt to talk.
1091
01:14:15,787 --> 01:14:17,383
I don't think we need worry about her.
1092
01:14:18,557 --> 01:14:20,578
No. You've made sure of that.
1093
01:14:21,269 --> 01:14:24,026
Whatever do you mean by that?
- You know what, you cheap little ..
1094
01:14:24,454 --> 01:14:26,419
Stop it Ellen.
You'll make me lose my temper.
1095
01:14:26,784 --> 01:14:27,717
Your temper?
1096
01:14:27,975 --> 01:14:30,803
You leave first thing in the morning.
That's the end of you and your temper.
1097
01:14:31,019 --> 01:14:32,487
I shouldn't try to bluff me.
1098
01:14:32,885 --> 01:14:36,020
I'm not bluffing you. I order you.
- If I don't choose to be ordered?
1099
01:14:36,755 --> 01:14:39,395
I can't throw you out physically.
But I can send for the police.
1100
01:14:39,611 --> 01:14:40,765
And have your scandal?
1101
01:14:41,425 --> 01:14:43,625
Really, you're being very
inconsistent now, auntie dear.
1102
01:14:47,747 --> 01:14:49,119
You won't send for the police.
1103
01:14:50,349 --> 01:14:51,841
Why are you so sure?
1104
01:14:52,573 --> 01:14:53,992
Because you've another reason.
1105
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:56,914
A more important reason for
not wanting the police here.
1106
01:14:57,546 --> 01:14:59,799
For wanting me out of this
house as quickly as possible.
1107
01:15:01,265 --> 01:15:02,936
As a matter of fact, you are right.
1108
01:15:03,339 --> 01:15:04,889
Now we get down to brass tacks.
1109
01:15:09,192 --> 01:15:11,134
Did it concern Miss Fiske by any chance?
1110
01:15:12,843 --> 01:15:14,271
It would and it does.
1111
01:15:15,303 --> 01:15:18,769
I met her in town today.
She's coming back.
1112
01:15:21,002 --> 01:15:24,068
She's coming back?
- And why shouldn't she?
1113
01:15:25,444 --> 01:15:27,138
I thought she'd gone for good.
1114
01:15:27,641 --> 01:15:29,345
How utterly absurd of you, Albert.
1115
01:15:29,950 --> 01:15:32,232
There has never been any
question of her not coming back.
1116
01:15:33,753 --> 01:15:35,532
Why didn't you say
so in the first place?
1117
01:15:35,748 --> 01:15:37,942
You played the fool so much
with Louisa and Emily.
1118
01:15:39,190 --> 01:15:40,693
I was afraid you'd blurt it out.
1119
01:15:42,481 --> 01:15:44,355
As it is, I'll have to
break it to them gently.
1120
01:15:44,571 --> 01:15:46,477
Because it means
they will have to go too.
1121
01:15:51,855 --> 01:15:53,989
My little country holiday has
obviously come to an end.
1122
01:15:54,843 --> 01:15:56,734
I don't know what the
blazes I'll do in Canada.
1123
01:15:56,950 --> 01:15:59,119
I suppose one can starve there
as well as anywhere else.
1124
01:15:59,677 --> 01:16:00,790
You'll get on.
1125
01:16:01,757 --> 01:16:03,762
I'll give you a little
something to start off with.
1126
01:16:04,659 --> 01:16:05,908
For your mother's sake.
1127
01:16:06,405 --> 01:16:08,376
I suppose I should extend
my most humble thanks.
1128
01:16:08,668 --> 01:16:10,540
No. That from you would be too much.
1129
01:16:11,034 --> 01:16:13,664
If that's all we have to say to each
other, I may as well get up to bed.
1130
01:16:32,163 --> 01:16:34,237
A good night's sleep wouldn't
do you any harm, either.
1131
01:16:35,093 --> 01:16:36,483
You look a bit played out.
1132
01:16:42,139 --> 01:16:43,698
I must lock up first.
1133
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,157
Will I be seeing you in the
morning before I leave?
1134
01:16:49,557 --> 01:16:50,486
Yes.
1135
01:16:59,735 --> 01:17:01,070
I forgot to tell you, auntie.
1136
01:17:02,138 --> 01:17:03,848
I had a funny dream last night.
1137
01:17:05,052 --> 01:17:05,796
Did you?
1138
01:17:08,636 --> 01:17:10,288
I dreamt Miss Fiske was dead.
1139
01:17:17,761 --> 01:17:20,112
Goodnight, auntie.
- Goodnight, Albert.
1140
01:18:52,767 --> 01:18:54,268
Miss Fiske ..
1141
01:19:06,554 --> 01:19:07,625
Albert.
1142
01:19:08,620 --> 01:19:09,497
Albert!
1143
01:19:48,544 --> 01:19:49,617
Good morning, Bates.
1144
01:19:49,833 --> 01:19:52,997
Miss Creed ordered me. It's about the
train, but she didn't say which one.
1145
01:19:53,823 --> 01:19:54,626
Bates.
1146
01:19:55,260 --> 01:19:56,975
Cancel it. Miss Creed's
not feeling well.
1147
01:19:57,382 --> 01:19:59,134
Nothing serious I hope, sir?
1148
01:19:59,716 --> 01:20:00,845
No. Nothing serious.
1149
01:20:01,576 --> 01:20:03,714
In that case, I'd better hop along.
1150
01:20:11,215 --> 01:20:13,479
She did look ill when I
took in her early tea.
1151
01:20:13,844 --> 01:20:15,160
I wish we hadn't done it.
1152
01:20:15,376 --> 01:20:17,754
Pull yourself together.
You'll ruin everything. Go on upstairs.
1153
01:20:18,116 --> 01:20:20,071
She might have died.
- Shut up.
1154
01:20:22,419 --> 01:20:24,304
Well she didn't. And we
proved what we wanted.
1155
01:20:24,605 --> 01:20:27,046
Miss Fiske is dead and she knows it.
- I wonder when she died.
1156
01:20:27,262 --> 01:20:30,193
One more go, and I'll tell you when
and how, she died. Now, go on upstairs.
1157
01:20:32,234 --> 01:20:33,778
What did Bates want, Albert?
1158
01:20:34,469 --> 01:20:37,339
He brought the news from the outside
world. It will tickle you to death.
1159
01:20:37,669 --> 01:20:39,500
Wigs and whiskers are
coming back in again.
1160
01:20:39,795 --> 01:20:41,748
I don't think this is a
time for joking, Albert.
1161
01:20:42,024 --> 01:20:43,268
With Ellen the way she is.
1162
01:20:43,484 --> 01:20:45,673
You take this thing too seriously,
my old brussels sprout.
1163
01:20:45,906 --> 01:20:48,296
She was walking in her sleep
and had a nightmare. That's all.
1164
01:20:48,857 --> 01:20:50,738
It wasn't a nightmare, Albert.
1165
01:20:52,979 --> 01:20:56,425
Oh .. what was it then?
- She says she saw a ghost.
1166
01:20:58,326 --> 01:21:00,241
In that case, lay another
place for breakfast.
1167
01:21:01,837 --> 01:21:04,083
Do you really think
it was a ghost, Emily?
1168
01:21:04,814 --> 01:21:08,147
If it were only a nightmare,
we wouldn't have heard it too.
1169
01:21:09,095 --> 01:21:12,379
Heard what?
- The music. Miss Fiske's music.
1170
01:21:13,216 --> 01:21:14,174
You know, Emily.
1171
01:21:14,512 --> 01:21:16,786
I'm sometimes afraid Miss Fiske
will get the better of Ellen.
1172
01:21:17,358 --> 01:21:20,210
I sometimes think she wants
to come back and turn us out.
1173
01:21:20,570 --> 01:21:23,299
I think Miss Fiske is here .. now.
1174
01:21:24,166 --> 01:21:27,506
Well .. what are you
two whispering about?
1175
01:21:28,354 --> 01:21:30,821
Hadn't you better go for your walk now?
- Yes, Ellen.
1176
01:21:31,124 --> 01:21:32,605
Anything you say, Ellen.
1177
01:21:46,684 --> 01:21:48,838
Do you think you're
strong enough to be up?
1178
01:21:49,303 --> 01:21:52,031
Yes, dear. I'm quite alright now.
- Hadn't you better have a doctor?
1179
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,336
No. A doctor couldn't do any good.
1180
01:22:01,118 --> 01:22:03,274
Why are you two standing
there like a couple of owls?
1181
01:22:04,315 --> 01:22:05,674
Emily has been frightening me.
1182
01:22:05,890 --> 01:22:07,724
You've been imagining
things, both of you.
1183
01:22:07,940 --> 01:22:09,719
Now, run along for your walk.
1184
01:22:10,194 --> 01:22:12,573
Whatever you say, Ellen. You know best.
1185
01:22:47,533 --> 01:22:48,748
Good morning, aunt Ellen.
1186
01:22:52,429 --> 01:22:53,848
We didn't expect you down today.
1187
01:22:55,144 --> 01:22:56,748
Why aren't you ready yet?
1188
01:22:57,416 --> 01:22:58,898
Bates will be here at any moment.
1189
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:01,876
Bates has been here and
gone .. I sent him away.
1190
01:23:02,599 --> 01:23:04,832
What do you mean by interfering
with my arrangements?
1191
01:23:05,087 --> 01:23:07,308
I didn't like to go and leave
you not feeling well.
1192
01:23:07,829 --> 01:23:09,585
I'm quite recovered now, thank you.
1193
01:23:10,535 --> 01:23:12,151
It was a queer turn you had last night.
1194
01:23:13,012 --> 01:23:13,913
What happened?
1195
01:23:16,155 --> 01:23:17,012
Nothing.
1196
01:23:17,529 --> 01:23:19,792
You know, you should really do
something about your nerves.
1197
01:23:20,064 --> 01:23:22,710
This isn't the first time you've walked
in your sleep, according to Emily.
1198
01:23:23,866 --> 01:23:24,996
What's Emily told you?
1199
01:23:25,212 --> 01:23:26,370
Just the usual chatter.
1200
01:23:27,566 --> 01:23:30,648
They do say that people who walk in
their sleep have a guilty conscience.
1201
01:23:32,807 --> 01:23:34,722
What's behind that remark, Albert?
1202
01:23:35,877 --> 01:23:36,788
Nothing.
1203
01:23:56,997 --> 01:23:58,016
You know.
1204
01:23:58,692 --> 01:23:59,725
Uhuh.
1205
01:24:07,734 --> 01:24:09,783
Then it was you last night?
- Yes.
1206
01:24:10,635 --> 01:24:12,786
Me and Lucy.
- She knows too?
1207
01:24:13,435 --> 01:24:16,579
Not what I know. That's something you
and I are going to keep to ourselves.
1208
01:24:17,454 --> 01:24:19,302
Provided of course, you treat me right.
1209
01:24:21,351 --> 01:24:22,852
What are you going to do?
1210
01:24:24,955 --> 01:24:26,342
As I said, I'm very happy here.
1211
01:24:26,974 --> 01:24:29,880
I think with your financial help I'll
be able to adjust things at the bank.
1212
01:24:30,486 --> 01:24:33,462
And we can all settle down in peace.
A contented little family.
1213
01:24:38,699 --> 01:24:40,639
You mean, you propose
to go on living here?
1214
01:24:41,042 --> 01:24:42,511
With me?
- Why not?
1215
01:24:43,380 --> 01:24:45,003
You'd never be quite sure, would you?
1216
01:24:45,991 --> 01:24:47,704
You might not enjoy your meals.
1217
01:24:51,328 --> 01:24:53,741
You wouldn't dare .. a second time.
1218
01:24:54,750 --> 01:24:57,031
It takes a lot of courage to
kill for the first time, Albert.
1219
01:24:57,830 --> 01:25:00,317
Once you've sold your soul to
the Devil it becomes easier.
1220
01:25:01,558 --> 01:25:02,675
Much easier.
1221
01:25:03,887 --> 01:25:07,713
Alright .. give me £500 and I'll clear
out for good. And keep my mouth shut.
1222
01:25:07,933 --> 01:25:10,215
I'm not afraid of you, Albert.
And your shabby little tricks.
1223
01:25:10,666 --> 01:25:13,323
In the middle of the night, you may
fancy yourself cutting quite a figure.
1224
01:25:13,980 --> 01:25:15,595
It's broad daylight now.
1225
01:25:16,055 --> 01:25:17,426
[ Door knocks ]
1226
01:25:22,761 --> 01:25:23,944
It's those nuns.
1227
01:25:24,482 --> 01:25:27,362
Get that out of sight.
And yourself with it.
1228
01:25:31,659 --> 01:25:33,002
[ Door knocks ]
1229
01:25:38,532 --> 01:25:41,311
Good day, Sisters.
- I must talk to you, right away.
1230
01:25:41,857 --> 01:25:43,121
Are you alone?
- Yes.
1231
01:25:43,889 --> 01:25:44,905
What's the matter?
1232
01:25:45,241 --> 01:25:48,898
It's really none of my business
and I shouldn't have come but ..
1233
01:25:49,781 --> 01:25:52,419
The police. They've been to the Priory.
- What about?
1234
01:25:52,973 --> 01:25:54,653
They're searching for a young man.
1235
01:25:55,095 --> 01:25:57,671
Who stole money from a
bank over Gravesend way.
1236
01:25:58,212 --> 01:26:01,295
And from the description,
I suspect it was your nephew.
1237
01:26:01,945 --> 01:26:05,639
I thought if he were told, he might
have a chance to do the right thing.
1238
01:26:06,213 --> 01:26:07,596
And give himself up.
1239
01:26:08,675 --> 01:26:10,261
It is your nephew?
- Yes.
1240
01:26:10,825 --> 01:26:14,130
But they mustn't search here.
- They've gone to the Coyne farm first.
1241
01:26:14,553 --> 01:26:16,139
I heard one of them say so.
1242
01:26:17,097 --> 01:26:20,813
Oh Miss Ellen. Have I done
wrong in coming to warn you?
1243
01:26:22,345 --> 01:26:23,773
I don't know, Sister.
1244
01:26:24,730 --> 01:26:26,719
I had a brother rather like that.
1245
01:26:27,632 --> 01:26:28,938
He went wrong too.
1246
01:26:30,148 --> 01:26:33,618
People are so easily lost, aren't they?
1247
01:26:34,524 --> 01:26:35,575
Yes they are.
1248
01:26:36,083 --> 01:26:38,511
Poor girl. You have so many burdens.
1249
01:26:39,161 --> 01:26:40,320
If you refer to Albert.
1250
01:26:40,901 --> 01:26:42,388
He means absolutely nothing to me.
1251
01:26:43,143 --> 01:26:44,543
No-one does, for that matter.
1252
01:26:45,350 --> 01:26:46,843
Except Emily and Louisa.
1253
01:26:48,365 --> 01:26:53,486
If, any time, we can do anything to make
things easier for you or your sisters ..
1254
01:26:54,242 --> 01:26:56,078
Don't hesitate to turn to us.
1255
01:26:56,401 --> 01:26:58,181
That's very kind of you, Sister Theresa.
1256
01:26:58,843 --> 01:27:00,509
But you know, we're not of your faith.
1257
01:27:01,152 --> 01:27:04,017
In my Father's house are many mansions.
1258
01:27:10,324 --> 01:27:11,797
Blimey, I thought they'd never go.
1259
01:27:12,013 --> 01:27:13,715
Thanks for putting in
a good word for me.
1260
01:27:15,247 --> 01:27:16,837
The Coyne farm, is it?
1261
01:27:17,115 --> 01:27:19,332
That will give me a chance to
get behind them to the river.
1262
01:27:19,548 --> 01:27:21,951
Hurry. There's no time to lose.
- Yes, I'll get my clothes.
1263
01:27:36,482 --> 01:27:37,496
Lucy.
1264
01:27:38,970 --> 01:27:40,574
Why are you staring at me like that?
1265
01:27:47,259 --> 01:27:48,389
You've been listening.
1266
01:27:52,279 --> 01:27:53,011
Lucy.
1267
01:27:53,847 --> 01:27:55,077
Lucy, come back.
1268
01:27:56,673 --> 01:27:57,922
Lucy, come back.
1269
01:28:00,607 --> 01:28:01,729
What's up?
1270
01:28:04,948 --> 01:28:05,763
What is it?
1271
01:28:06,671 --> 01:28:07,700
Lucy's run off.
1272
01:28:08,543 --> 01:28:09,842
She was listening.
1273
01:28:11,899 --> 01:28:13,091
Turn me in, would she?
1274
01:28:13,589 --> 01:28:15,946
I've got to move fast.
Where's that money and boat ticket?
1275
01:28:21,783 --> 01:28:23,304
You mean, she heard all about that?
1276
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:28,225
Yes.
1277
01:28:29,117 --> 01:28:31,860
Hey .. you'd better
make a dash for it too.
1278
01:28:46,271 --> 01:28:47,740
Don't stand there mooning about.
1279
01:28:48,092 --> 01:28:49,909
Put your things on and
let's get out of here.
1280
01:28:52,816 --> 01:28:53,999
I'm not going.
1281
01:28:56,844 --> 01:28:58,130
Are you out of your mind?
1282
01:29:01,266 --> 01:29:03,883
You know what they'll do to you?
- You'd better hurry, Albert.
1283
01:29:04,966 --> 01:29:06,581
Well, if that don't beat the cards.
1284
01:29:08,780 --> 01:29:09,710
Well then ..
1285
01:29:11,785 --> 01:29:14,516
So long Ellen .. no hard feelings.
1286
01:29:49,217 --> 01:29:50,486
Ellen, it was so funny.
1287
01:29:50,849 --> 01:29:51,893
We just saw Albert.
1288
01:29:52,306 --> 01:29:53,808
He was playing 'tag' with some men.
1289
01:29:54,130 --> 01:29:56,069
He didn't win. They caught him.
1290
01:29:56,413 --> 01:29:57,556
He got quite annoyed.
1291
01:30:00,436 --> 01:30:02,922
Ellen, look.
We found a lot of jackdaw feathers.
1292
01:30:03,297 --> 01:30:05,846
We're going to tie them into
bundles and make little dusters.
1293
01:30:07,021 --> 01:30:08,492
Where are you going?
1294
01:30:10,172 --> 01:30:11,816
I'm going to Coyne farm.
1295
01:30:12,298 --> 01:30:14,852
There are some gentlemen there from
Gravesend and I want to see them.
1296
01:30:15,068 --> 01:30:16,974
You won't bring them
back here, will you Ellen.
1297
01:30:17,228 --> 01:30:19,134
It's so nice and peaceful by ourselves.
1298
01:30:20,007 --> 01:30:22,812
No, dear. I'll try not to
bring them back here.
1299
01:30:31,833 --> 01:30:35,636
You have been happy here, haven't you?
- We are happy here, aren't we Emily?
1300
01:30:35,852 --> 01:30:38,249
Yes .. it's much better than London.
1301
01:30:38,547 --> 01:30:40,897
It's so good of you to have
bought this house for us.
1302
01:30:41,242 --> 01:30:43,035
You have been clever, Ellen.
1303
01:31:06,500 --> 01:31:07,632
How long will you be?
1304
01:31:08,778 --> 01:31:10,031
I don't know, dear.
1305
01:31:10,562 --> 01:31:12,115
Maybe quite a time.
1306
01:31:13,116 --> 01:31:15,317
I think I shall go down
to The Priory tomorrow.
1307
01:31:15,914 --> 01:31:18,728
I should like to see the things the
Reverend Mother collected on the marsh.
1308
01:31:18,965 --> 01:31:20,045
I'll go with you.
1309
01:31:26,793 --> 01:31:29,371
Goodbye, Ellen .. don't worry about us.
1310
01:31:29,816 --> 01:31:31,460
We can look after ourselves.
1311
01:32:12,774 --> 01:32:13,678

Ellen Creed, a proud spinster fallen on hard times, has spent the past two years as housekeeper and companion to her old friend Leonora Fiske, a wealthy retiree who in her youth had been a chorus girl "of easy virtue". Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.
One day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.
Ellen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.
Ellen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.
Some nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.
Albert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a "sprained wrist." Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.
Albert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men. Ellen smiles, dons her coat and hat, tells the sisters she's going to see some men, kisses them goodbye and departs into the fog.

1
00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:15,105
Ellen.
2
00:02:16,275 --> 00:02:18,207
Yes, Miss Fiske.
- Is there any mail for me?
3
00:02:18,783 --> 00:02:20,449
No, just this one letter.
4
00:02:22,257 --> 00:02:24,580
No sign of Bates yet?
- Not yet.
5
00:02:25,271 --> 00:02:27,122
Oh dear, I do hope you
won't miss your train.
6
00:02:28,288 --> 00:02:29,130
I mustn't.
7
00:02:32,003 --> 00:02:34,632
Oh Lucy, hurry with that bag.
- Just coming, Miss.
8
00:02:39,861 --> 00:02:40,533
Ellen.
9
00:02:40,937 --> 00:02:42,986
That business I want you
to see about in London.
10
00:02:43,703 --> 00:02:45,281
This is for Mr Scott at the bank.
11
00:02:45,872 --> 00:02:47,797
It's about those Brazilian
bonds of mine.
12
00:02:48,116 --> 00:02:50,463
The way the market is this week,
I think they ought to be ..
13
00:02:51,108 --> 00:02:53,011
Get outside.
Keep your eyes open for Bates.
14
00:02:53,367 --> 00:02:54,154
Yes, Miss.
15
00:02:57,364 --> 00:02:59,365
And this address is
just off Berkeley Square.
16
00:02:59,637 --> 00:03:02,745
Go to the servant's entrance and
ask for Mr Blake. He's the butler.
17
00:03:02,990 --> 00:03:06,248
Say you've come from me with
a message for Lord Cardington.
18
00:03:06,501 --> 00:03:08,999
And will he give it to his
Lordship .. privately.
19
00:03:10,145 --> 00:03:11,726
Ellen, you aren't paying attention.
20
00:03:12,861 --> 00:03:14,130
But I am, Miss Fiske.
21
00:03:15,291 --> 00:03:16,862
What would be the best time to call?
22
00:03:18,183 --> 00:03:20,515
Harry always used to dine around eight.
23
00:03:21,648 --> 00:03:23,869
You call about half past seven.
- Yes, very well.
24
00:03:24,511 --> 00:03:25,441
You seem upset.
25
00:03:26,165 --> 00:03:27,082
Bad news?
26
00:03:28,607 --> 00:03:30,395
I don't want to bother
you with my troubles.
27
00:03:31,555 --> 00:03:33,845
It isn't a question of bothering
me with your troubles.
28
00:03:34,385 --> 00:03:36,059
You've become almost like my daughter.
29
00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:40,033
The letter is from my sisters,
Emily and Louisa.
30
00:03:40,723 --> 00:03:42,666
They're very unhappy back
in London without me.
31
00:03:43,371 --> 00:03:46,159
After all, I only saw them once since
I came to work for you, Miss Fiske.
32
00:03:46,627 --> 00:03:50,075
You'll see them today, won't you?
And everything will be alright, surely.
33
00:03:50,516 --> 00:03:51,365
Miss Fiske.
34
00:03:52,270 --> 00:03:53,239
Bates is coming.
35
00:03:53,677 --> 00:03:54,941
Tell him to hurry himself.
36
00:03:56,902 --> 00:04:00,083
My kind regards to your sisters, Ellen.
- Thank you, Miss Fiske.
37
00:04:05,516 --> 00:04:07,945
I've written them so much about you.
38
00:04:08,818 --> 00:04:10,041
How kind you've been.
39
00:04:10,952 --> 00:04:13,704
Stuff and nonsense.
I'm fond of you. You shouldn't ..
40
00:04:14,411 --> 00:04:16,314
Oh, a lovely juicy one.
41
00:04:18,629 --> 00:04:21,722
Perhaps you'll .. you might allow
them down for a little visit one day?
42
00:04:22,338 --> 00:04:24,174
Oh dear, look what the damp has done.
43
00:04:24,744 --> 00:04:27,291
Certainly, yes.
By all means. At any time.
44
00:04:27,661 --> 00:04:30,625
You know Lucy polished this
table all yesterday afternoon.
45
00:04:31,859 --> 00:04:34,142
Miss Fiske.
- Yes?
46
00:04:34,903 --> 00:04:36,139
It occurred to me that ..
47
00:04:36,694 --> 00:04:40,310
Since they've been so wretched lately,
and you may allow them to visit one day.
48
00:04:40,526 --> 00:04:42,677
Oh that? Yes, indeed. You tell them.
49
00:04:43,191 --> 00:04:45,776
Perhaps in the spring when
it's warm and sunny.
50
00:04:58,452 --> 00:05:01,788
Well .. what I was going to ask was ..
51
00:05:03,656 --> 00:05:06,019
Might I bring them back
with me this time? Now?
52
00:05:06,313 --> 00:05:08,044
Well now, Ellen.
- They won't be a bother.
53
00:05:08,260 --> 00:05:11,100
I promise Miss Fiske .. and it
will mean so much to them.
54
00:05:13,860 --> 00:05:17,056
Very well my dear. You bring with
you by all means. For a day or two.
55
00:05:17,531 --> 00:05:18,974
Thank you, Miss Fiske.
56
00:05:19,913 --> 00:05:22,776
I can't tell you how grateful I am.
- Well don't try, my dear.
57
00:05:23,612 --> 00:05:26,540
He's here, Miss.
- About time. The good-for-nothing.
58
00:05:29,731 --> 00:05:31,919
Ellen, have you got everything?
- Yes, Miss Fiske.
59
00:05:36,257 --> 00:05:37,214
Morning, ma'am.
60
00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:40,040
Bates, you might have been more prompt.
What on earth made you so late?
61
00:05:40,256 --> 00:05:44,233
Her. You can't gallop over the roads
with a lady in her delicate condition.
62
00:05:45,131 --> 00:05:46,985
She's going to throw a calf, she be.
63
00:05:47,329 --> 00:05:49,142
I'm taking her to the vets, I am.
64
00:05:49,580 --> 00:05:53,795
Kindly let her not throw any calves
until you get Miss Ellen to the station.
65
00:05:55,009 --> 00:05:58,324
Calves don't come by timetable, lady.
- Well trains do.
66
00:06:01,093 --> 00:06:02,789
Yes, ma'am.
- Goodbye, Miss Fiske.
67
00:06:03,093 --> 00:06:05,919
Goodbye, Miss Ellen.
- Goodbye, Lucy.
68
00:06:08,225 --> 00:06:10,399
Don't forget the allowance
from you-know-who.
69
00:06:10,690 --> 00:06:11,943
No, I shan't.
70
00:06:12,751 --> 00:06:13,558
Goodbye.
71
00:06:14,089 --> 00:06:15,295
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss.
72
00:06:16,549 --> 00:06:18,440
Alright now, there is a
day's work to be done.
73
00:06:43,285 --> 00:06:46,731
La, la, la .. la, la, la.
74
00:06:47,792 --> 00:06:51,445
This is nice. It's very, very nice.
- What's that you have there, Miss?
75
00:06:52,224 --> 00:06:55,022
It's called the New Comic Opera.
It's all the rage in London.
76
00:06:55,382 --> 00:06:56,355
The Mi-Ka-Do.
77
00:06:57,272 --> 00:06:58,355
Mikado.
78
00:06:59,483 --> 00:07:02,512
I used to tour the provinces with
the gentleman who sent it to me.
79
00:07:02,932 --> 00:07:05,701
Look, he signed it for me:
'Rutland Barington'.
80
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,844
'For my adored Leonora
with fond memories of ..'
81
00:07:12,167 --> 00:07:14,032
Never mind about that.
Go and do the dishes.
82
00:07:14,248 --> 00:07:15,034
Yes, Miss.
83
00:07:18,969 --> 00:07:23,159
<i>On a tree by a willow, a little tom-tit</i>.
84
00:07:23,685 --> 00:07:27,337
<i>Sang: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
85
00:07:27,860 --> 00:07:32,012
<i>And I said to him: dicky-bird,
why do you sit?</i>
86
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:36,024
<i>Singing: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
87
00:07:40,329 --> 00:07:41,550
Go on. Don't stop.
88
00:07:41,803 --> 00:07:45,343
Who are you? What are you doing here?
- Listening .. very nice too.
89
00:07:46,281 --> 00:07:48,810
What do you want?
- Ask me in and I'll tell you.
90
00:07:52,312 --> 00:07:55,617
Anyway young man, you may
come in .. but mind your manners.
91
00:07:56,854 --> 00:07:57,794
Alright, Miss.
92
00:08:06,770 --> 00:08:09,470
Isn't this where Miss Ellen Creed lives?
- Yes, she lives here.
93
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:12,146
What do you wish to see her about?
- It's a personal matter.
94
00:08:13,315 --> 00:08:15,156
She's my aunt. I'm Albert Feather.
95
00:08:15,372 --> 00:08:17,189
Your aunt?
- Right.
96
00:08:17,842 --> 00:08:20,039
Her mother was my stepfather's
uncle's second wife.
97
00:08:22,067 --> 00:08:24,058
And where do you come from?
- Gravesend.
98
00:08:24,649 --> 00:08:26,422
I .. I work in a bank there.
99
00:08:26,875 --> 00:08:28,891
It's a very long walk.
Hadn't you better sit down?
100
00:08:29,598 --> 00:08:30,640
Thank you.
101
00:08:33,063 --> 00:08:34,628
I'm afraid it's all been for nothing.
102
00:08:34,844 --> 00:08:37,420
Your aunt Ellen has gone to
London on some business for me.
103
00:08:38,218 --> 00:08:39,462
How long will she be away?
104
00:08:39,790 --> 00:08:41,215
A few days.
- A few?
105
00:08:43,071 --> 00:08:44,665
Blimey. That will be too late.
106
00:08:45,843 --> 00:08:47,270
Is there anything I can do?
107
00:08:47,764 --> 00:08:51,327
I'm Miss Fiske. Your aunt has been
working here as a housekeeper/companion.
108
00:08:52,049 --> 00:08:54,325
I didn't know.
I haven't seen her for five years.
109
00:08:56,066 --> 00:08:57,102
Can I help?
110
00:08:59,294 --> 00:09:00,176
I wonder.
111
00:09:00,570 --> 00:09:01,642
What's the trouble?
112
00:09:02,394 --> 00:09:03,435
Or is it trouble?
113
00:09:04,397 --> 00:09:07,440
It's trouble right enough.
I hardly like to tell you.
114
00:09:08,163 --> 00:09:09,437
Oh, I see.
115
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:11,115
What's the amount?
116
00:09:12,388 --> 00:09:14,291
Twelve pounds.
- How much?
117
00:09:14,952 --> 00:09:17,446
Twelve pounds.
- My goodness. That's a lot of money.
118
00:09:17,662 --> 00:09:19,564
I know. What's worse,
I must have it by tonight.
119
00:09:19,937 --> 00:09:21,177
I'm short at the bank.
120
00:09:21,937 --> 00:09:24,425
It means jail if I can't put it back
before the cashier checks up.
121
00:09:25,063 --> 00:09:27,092
Gambling?
- No. A girl.
122
00:09:28,525 --> 00:09:29,814
Are you engaged to her?
123
00:09:30,198 --> 00:09:31,426
No. She's an actress.
124
00:09:32,294 --> 00:09:34,143
She was in a travelling
company in Gravesend.
125
00:09:34,463 --> 00:09:36,933
What? At the Old Grand?
126
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:39,551
You know it?
- I played there.
127
00:09:40,084 --> 00:09:41,113
Years ago.
128
00:09:41,968 --> 00:09:43,041
You were an actress?
129
00:09:43,648 --> 00:09:45,054
Front row of the chorus.
130
00:09:45,889 --> 00:09:47,868
Fourth from the right.
131
00:09:48,396 --> 00:09:49,710
She was in the chorus too.
132
00:09:50,179 --> 00:09:51,820
I expect you took her out to supper.
133
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:54,542
Then she persuaded you to
go round the shops with her.
134
00:09:55,486 --> 00:09:56,610
How did you know?
135
00:09:58,034 --> 00:09:59,272
'Imagination', my boy.
136
00:10:01,410 --> 00:10:03,427
Anyway, she's over the hills
now to some other town.
137
00:10:03,731 --> 00:10:05,583
And with some other fool.
The little cheat.
138
00:10:10,573 --> 00:10:13,436
Don't worry any more about it.
I'll give you the twelve pounds.
139
00:10:14,686 --> 00:10:15,719
You will?
140
00:10:16,204 --> 00:10:19,080
Perhaps I owe it to you .. in a sense.
141
00:10:20,452 --> 00:10:21,783
Or to some other fool.
142
00:10:22,564 --> 00:10:23,754
You're a life-saver.
143
00:10:24,208 --> 00:10:26,940
Now you just wait here. I'll just
run upstairs and get my keys.
144
00:10:31,814 --> 00:10:33,378
A pity there aren't more like you.
145
00:10:33,970 --> 00:10:35,850
That my, lad, is a matter of opinion.
146
00:10:38,268 --> 00:10:40,807
Do you mind if I tickle on your ivories?
- No, do.
147
00:10:41,403 --> 00:10:42,190
Thank you.
148
00:10:46,990 --> 00:10:50,944
<i>It's the same the whole world over</i>.
149
00:10:52,269 --> 00:10:53,102
<i>It's</i> ..
150
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,183
<i>It's the poor what gets the blame</i>.
151
00:11:04,394 --> 00:11:08,374
<i>While the rich has all the pleasures</i>.
152
00:11:09,117 --> 00:11:12,780
<i>Now, ain't that the blinking shame</i>.
153
00:11:19,442 --> 00:11:20,183
Hello.
154
00:11:20,703 --> 00:11:21,996
You did scare me.
155
00:11:22,780 --> 00:11:24,167
I thought I was hearing things.
156
00:11:24,565 --> 00:11:25,460
You were.
157
00:11:25,819 --> 00:11:26,681
But I mean.
158
00:11:27,344 --> 00:11:28,245
A man's voice.
159
00:11:29,023 --> 00:11:30,360
So funny here.
160
00:11:32,142 --> 00:11:34,993
Doesn't the tide wash up
many male fish, my angel?
161
00:11:35,476 --> 00:11:38,023
A man is as scarce as
hansom cabs in these parts.
162
00:11:38,377 --> 00:11:40,049
That is, all but the old ones.
163
00:11:40,330 --> 00:11:43,699
The young ones go off to London or
some foreign parts as soon as they can.
164
00:11:44,405 --> 00:11:45,990
Are you going off to foreign parts?
165
00:11:46,537 --> 00:11:48,929
It depends.
- Depends on what?
166
00:11:49,541 --> 00:11:51,342
If anyone ever asks me.
167
00:11:52,252 --> 00:11:54,778
I shouldn't think with eyes like them
there would be any difficulty.
168
00:11:55,570 --> 00:11:56,438
Go on.
169
00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:59,288
What's your name?
- Lucy.
170
00:11:59,889 --> 00:12:02,390
What's yours?
- Albert. I'm Miss Creel's nephew.
171
00:12:02,791 --> 00:12:05,195
Funny .. I never heard about you.
172
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,223
That must be remedied.
173
00:12:09,483 --> 00:12:12,253
How about making the most of a male
fish now one has been washed up, eh?
174
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,043
What about a smacker?
- No, you mustn't.
175
00:12:15,952 --> 00:12:17,175
I don't know you.
176
00:12:17,650 --> 00:12:19,993
You needn't know people to kiss them.
- I do.
177
00:12:21,065 --> 00:12:22,481
Alright my girl. It's your loss.
178
00:12:23,722 --> 00:12:25,495
You think a lot of yourself, don't you?
179
00:12:36,494 --> 00:12:39,581
Has Lucy been entertaining you, Albert?
- Eh?
180
00:12:40,669 --> 00:12:42,777
She came in. We had a word or two.
181
00:12:43,910 --> 00:12:46,728
Nice looker, isn't she?
- I didn't notice.
182
00:12:47,252 --> 00:12:50,496
Come now, Albert.
Don't lose your sense of humour.
183
00:12:50,712 --> 00:12:53,147
I hope you're not one of those who
won't benefit from experience.
184
00:12:53,446 --> 00:12:57,232
Otherwise my twelve pounds
will be rather wasted, won't it.
185
00:12:58,006 --> 00:12:59,937
Don't you worry Miss Fiske.
I've had my lesson.
186
00:13:00,307 --> 00:13:01,631
I hope so.
187
00:13:05,189 --> 00:13:07,912
Now .. this is where we
keep our little hoard.
188
00:13:09,396 --> 00:13:11,055
It's an old bake-oven really.
189
00:13:12,795 --> 00:13:14,007
A proper tomb, isn't it?
190
00:13:15,288 --> 00:13:16,161
What's that?
191
00:13:16,603 --> 00:13:18,678
This is what they used to
pull the loaves out with.
192
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:24,941
Of course, we don't use it as a
bake-oven. Hasn't been used in years.
193
00:13:30,894 --> 00:13:31,880
Now then.
194
00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:34,726
Twelve pounds, I think you said.
195
00:13:35,604 --> 00:13:37,505
You couldn't make if fifteen?
- No, I couldn't.
196
00:13:37,721 --> 00:13:38,593
You couldn't?
197
00:13:40,918 --> 00:13:42,648
Do I give you an I.O.U.?
198
00:13:43,001 --> 00:13:44,040
No thank you.
199
00:13:44,453 --> 00:13:45,721
This isn't a loan.
200
00:13:46,087 --> 00:13:49,548
I shouldn't like you to incur the
remorse of not paying it back.
201
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:51,267
You are a daisy.
202
00:13:53,929 --> 00:13:55,680
Very prettily done, Albert.
203
00:14:00,308 --> 00:14:02,327
Now, let's forget all about it.
204
00:14:04,460 --> 00:14:06,870
If you came next week, you'd have
found three of your aunts here.
205
00:14:07,162 --> 00:14:09,049
Ellen is bringing her
sisters back from London.
206
00:14:09,406 --> 00:14:11,513
What, the potty ones?
- Potty?
207
00:14:11,729 --> 00:14:13,188
Queer as mice in a cage.
208
00:14:14,466 --> 00:14:16,775
They're quite harmless.
Especially when aunt Ellen's around.
209
00:14:17,257 --> 00:14:20,141
For comfort, they're coming
to stay here for a few days.
210
00:14:20,646 --> 00:14:23,031
They seem to mean quite a
great deal to your aunt Ellen.
211
00:14:23,247 --> 00:14:24,573
Oh, they would.
212
00:14:25,219 --> 00:14:27,164
She's looked after them
since she was a kid.
213
00:14:27,426 --> 00:14:30,676
She's watched over them like they were
a couple of perishing babes-in-arms.
214
00:14:31,397 --> 00:14:34,292
I think that's very commendable of her.
- Perhaps, but ..
215
00:14:34,796 --> 00:14:36,355
Think of all the fun she's missing.
216
00:14:37,398 --> 00:14:40,282
What, for example?
- You know.
217
00:14:41,511 --> 00:14:42,582
I see.
218
00:14:43,201 --> 00:14:46,094
I have to be toddling along.
I'll pay you back as soon as I can.
219
00:14:51,506 --> 00:14:54,128
I'd appreciate if you don't mention
our little transaction to aunt Ellen.
220
00:14:54,344 --> 00:14:55,709
Very well. If you like.
221
00:14:56,156 --> 00:14:57,446
How about .. whatsername?
222
00:14:57,987 --> 00:15:00,717
Lucy? Oh she won't say anything.
I'll take care of that.
223
00:15:01,147 --> 00:15:01,848
Thanks.
224
00:15:04,128 --> 00:15:05,104
So long my lady.
225
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,428
And again from the heart. I'll never
forget your kindness as long as I live.
226
00:15:10,954 --> 00:15:12,887
I hope you live a great
deal longer than that.
227
00:15:41,690 --> 00:15:45,882
Isn't it funny, Ellen? You can't see
the wind and you can't touch it.
228
00:15:46,164 --> 00:15:47,202
But it's there.
229
00:15:48,220 --> 00:15:51,549
I think you'd better have this round
you, dear. It's getting quite chilly.
230
00:15:52,323 --> 00:15:54,061
Listen .. what's that?
231
00:15:54,324 --> 00:15:56,455
Those are The Priory bells, dear.
From over the marshes.
232
00:15:56,671 --> 00:15:58,875
Oh .. I shan't like that.
233
00:16:00,388 --> 00:16:03,269
She hates bells.
- Especially church bells.
234
00:16:03,959 --> 00:16:06,415
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong.
235
00:16:06,823 --> 00:16:08,452
Aren't the marshes pretty.
236
00:16:09,396 --> 00:16:11,378
The grass is too long and untidy.
237
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,566
If I had a knife and a bit of string,
I'd cut it and tie it up in bundles.
238
00:16:18,823 --> 00:16:21,809
Are there any sheep here on the marshes?
- Yes, Miss.
239
00:16:22,119 --> 00:16:25,040
I think sheep are so clever to
chew their cud the way they do.
240
00:16:25,490 --> 00:16:26,918
It's very difficult.
241
00:16:27,875 --> 00:16:29,030
I've tried.
242
00:16:31,415 --> 00:16:34,749
You ought to be a sailor, Miss.
They're always chewing tobacco.
243
00:16:35,584 --> 00:16:37,415
The man I was to marry was a sailor.
244
00:16:38,195 --> 00:16:39,482
He gave me this.
245
00:16:40,242 --> 00:16:42,105
It's all I have to remember him by.
246
00:16:43,219 --> 00:16:44,631
He was wrecked at sea.
247
00:16:46,036 --> 00:16:47,692
They were all drowned.
248
00:16:48,609 --> 00:16:50,781
It must have been a bit of
sadness for you, Missy.
249
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,617
Oh no. I've quite forgotten
what he looked like.
250
00:16:53,867 --> 00:16:58,114
I saw a drowned man once. They took
him out of the Thames. He was green.
251
00:16:59,726 --> 00:17:00,800
Frogs.
252
00:17:01,614 --> 00:17:03,598
There must be lots of frogs.
253
00:17:04,872 --> 00:17:07,194
We used to have such
fun with them at home.
254
00:17:07,942 --> 00:17:11,767
We used to put them on the dining-table
and make them jump in the marmalade pot.
255
00:17:24,590 --> 00:17:27,124
Look. There's a bird's nest.
- So there is.
256
00:17:27,425 --> 00:17:29,585
It must be last summer's.
- I should like to have that.
257
00:17:29,801 --> 00:17:30,956
Bates, stop please.
258
00:17:33,961 --> 00:17:35,709
Oh .. I have it.
259
00:17:37,576 --> 00:17:40,244
Isn't it beautiful?
- Oh dear, it's all cobwebby.
260
00:17:41,088 --> 00:17:43,437
And it has a horrid smell.
- It mustn't be wasted.
261
00:17:43,773 --> 00:17:46,676
I shall save it until next year
and then I'll put it back again.
262
00:17:47,792 --> 00:17:49,568
Who knows where we'll be next year?
263
00:17:50,919 --> 00:17:53,493
Not in London anyway. You promised that.
264
00:17:54,646 --> 00:17:56,807
Yes, I promised that.
- Look.
265
00:17:59,651 --> 00:18:02,019
Louisa .. how did that happen?
266
00:18:02,290 --> 00:18:03,334
She did it.
- Who?
267
00:18:03,721 --> 00:18:04,985
That woman in London.
268
00:18:05,980 --> 00:18:08,599
She didn't give us enough food either.
- 'Discipline' she said.
269
00:18:09,276 --> 00:18:11,196
Louisa used to cry all night.
270
00:18:11,605 --> 00:18:13,863
I didn't. She couldn't discipline me.
271
00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:17,371
We'll be alright here
though with Miss Fiske.
272
00:18:17,911 --> 00:18:18,927
She won't beat us.
273
00:18:20,371 --> 00:18:22,086
No darling, she won't beat you.
274
00:18:23,299 --> 00:18:24,774
No-one will again. Ever.
275
00:18:35,203 --> 00:18:38,132
Now remember what I told you both.
You're not to talk too much.
276
00:18:38,505 --> 00:18:40,175
Wait until Miss Fiske knows you better.
277
00:18:40,391 --> 00:18:42,433
How can she get to know
us better if we don't talk?
278
00:18:43,833 --> 00:18:45,955
Come along dear.
Bates, get the luggage, will you.
279
00:18:46,171 --> 00:18:47,147
Yes, ma'am.
280
00:18:55,788 --> 00:18:57,441
They look harmless.
- What, Miss?
281
00:18:58,044 --> 00:19:00,065
Never mind. Go and put the kettle on.
- Yes, Miss.
282
00:19:07,201 --> 00:19:09,332
Well, here we are.
- I'm glad.
283
00:19:09,821 --> 00:19:12,750
Miss Fiske .. my sister
Emily, my sister Louisa.
284
00:19:13,012 --> 00:19:15,614
How do you do, Emily?
- We're very glad to be here.
285
00:19:16,355 --> 00:19:18,625
Louisa.
- I don't like people to touch me.
286
00:19:20,092 --> 00:19:22,203
I'm afraid Miss Fiske will
think you're very rude.
287
00:19:22,637 --> 00:19:25,893
They're rather tired, poor dears.
- I never get tired.
288
00:19:26,246 --> 00:19:28,424
I sometimes walk about
the house all night.
289
00:19:29,354 --> 00:19:32,358
Do you indeed?
- No, of course she doesn't, Miss Fiske.
290
00:19:35,582 --> 00:19:37,090
What beautiful furniture.
291
00:19:37,766 --> 00:19:40,401
Just like we used to have
before we lost all our money.
292
00:19:40,705 --> 00:19:44,104
Some of these <i>are </i>our things, dear.
Miss Fiske bought them at my Curio Shop.
293
00:19:44,499 --> 00:19:45,716
I want my tea.
294
00:19:45,982 --> 00:19:49,687
Emily, see .. here's the
grand champ himself.
295
00:19:50,198 --> 00:19:52,303
Remember when father bought him for us?
296
00:19:52,874 --> 00:19:54,913
I wonder if his head still nods.
297
00:19:55,230 --> 00:19:57,850
Ding-dong, ding-dong ..
- Louisa, dear.
298
00:19:58,188 --> 00:20:00,094
Bates, be careful.
You'll scratch the furniture.
299
00:20:00,329 --> 00:20:01,719
Very good, ma'am.
300
00:20:07,149 --> 00:20:09,201
I must say you've brought
enough luggage with you.
301
00:20:09,549 --> 00:20:11,220
We've brought everything.
- Everything?
302
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,760
We had to.
- Why?
303
00:20:13,089 --> 00:20:14,453
When they sent for the police.
304
00:20:14,787 --> 00:20:17,483
Now, my dears. I'm sure all this
can't possibly interest Miss Fiske.
305
00:20:17,819 --> 00:20:19,779
I think we should go up
and rest a bit before tea.
306
00:20:20,125 --> 00:20:22,023
Whatever you say, Ellen.
- Come along, Emily.
307
00:20:22,239 --> 00:20:24,948
That smelly train was very dirty.
308
00:20:25,188 --> 00:20:28,708
She's always fussing about the dirt.
I hope you keep things tidy here.
309
00:20:28,924 --> 00:20:32,483
Cleanliness is next to
Godliness .. don't you agree?
310
00:20:33,018 --> 00:20:35,985
Well .. I'm quite clean, I believe.
311
00:20:36,652 --> 00:20:39,005
But I don't know that
I'm particularly Godly.
312
00:20:39,668 --> 00:20:41,267
I thought you were a Roman.
313
00:20:41,837 --> 00:20:42,824
Isn't that yours?
314
00:20:43,077 --> 00:20:45,458
Miss Fiske is a Roman, dear.
And a very devoted one.
315
00:20:45,929 --> 00:20:47,614
Come along Louisa, Emily.
316
00:20:47,957 --> 00:20:50,102
Father, didn't approve of Romans.
317
00:20:52,032 --> 00:20:53,290
And neither do I.
318
00:21:13,724 --> 00:21:16,116
I expect it's one of those boobies.
319
00:21:16,588 --> 00:21:20,641
Miss Emily was drawing cat's faces on
brown paper yesterday when you were out.
320
00:21:21,138 --> 00:21:23,357
I can't stand it. I can't stand it.
321
00:21:23,721 --> 00:21:26,634
My lovely paisley shawl. It's ruined.
322
00:21:27,927 --> 00:21:31,189
You'd better get some vinegar and see
if you can do something about this spot.
323
00:21:31,443 --> 00:21:32,256
Yes, Miss.
324
00:21:32,810 --> 00:21:35,900
I'm utterly exhausted clearing
up after their messes.
325
00:21:36,172 --> 00:21:38,204
I don't wonder, Miss. So am I.
326
00:21:38,529 --> 00:21:42,030
And you should see their
bedroom. It's like a goat's-pen.
327
00:21:42,483 --> 00:21:45,783
I know it. If it isn't one
thing, it's another.
328
00:21:46,153 --> 00:21:49,633
For the last six weeks were like living
in the middle of Piccadilly Circus.
329
00:21:50,566 --> 00:21:52,478
My heart won't stand it.
330
00:21:53,336 --> 00:21:55,144
Go and get my smelling salts.
331
00:21:56,829 --> 00:21:59,720
Where are they, Miss?
- In the usual place, of course.
332
00:21:59,984 --> 00:22:01,928
Nothing is in the usual
place these days.
333
00:22:02,169 --> 00:22:02,822
No.
334
00:22:03,664 --> 00:22:05,532
Well then, get me a cold compress.
335
00:22:06,303 --> 00:22:09,597
I shall lie down and
take a nap while I can.
336
00:22:13,641 --> 00:22:14,627
Miss Fiske.
337
00:22:14,950 --> 00:22:18,862
Yes, what is it? What is it?
- Will they be staying much longer?
338
00:22:20,743 --> 00:22:23,049
They'll have my invitation
to go this evening.
339
00:22:26,420 --> 00:22:30,273
Oh dear, I wonder where Emily has
gone to. She ought to be back by now.
340
00:22:31,513 --> 00:22:33,331
I can't see her anywhere.
341
00:22:33,776 --> 00:22:37,997
I wish I were brave like Emily.
I should like to take long walks too.
342
00:22:38,404 --> 00:22:40,016
And pick up things.
343
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,248
Perhaps I shall be able to
after we've stayed here longer.
344
00:22:44,902 --> 00:22:46,145
I'm sure you will, dear.
345
00:22:46,442 --> 00:22:48,530
I shall be staying here, shan't I?
346
00:22:49,544 --> 00:22:52,354
You're not planning to send us away?
Are you, Ellen?
347
00:22:53,227 --> 00:22:54,739
No dear. Of course I'm not.
348
00:22:55,199 --> 00:22:57,189
This is what you've always promised us.
349
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,885
A little place in the country
where we can always be safe.
350
00:23:01,424 --> 00:23:04,604
Yes .. it's the one thing
I've been working for.
351
00:23:05,415 --> 00:23:07,236
Ever since we had to
give up the old house.
352
00:23:07,574 --> 00:23:10,567
Naturally, Estuary House
could never be like that.
353
00:23:11,114 --> 00:23:12,511
But it's nice enough.
354
00:23:12,898 --> 00:23:14,774
Yes, and Miss Fiske has
been very kind to us.
355
00:23:15,471 --> 00:23:18,924
Miss Fiske .. may I tell
you something, Ellen?
356
00:23:19,743 --> 00:23:21,102
Just one of my secrets.
357
00:23:21,866 --> 00:23:22,931
Of course you may.
358
00:23:23,717 --> 00:23:25,589
I don't like Miss Fiske.
359
00:23:27,025 --> 00:23:30,951
Couldn't we send her away? Then it
would <i>really</i> be just the three of us.
360
00:23:31,260 --> 00:23:33,656
But I keep telling you,
Louisa. It's <i>her</i> house.
361
00:23:34,059 --> 00:23:36,189
Oh no. You'll never
make me believe that.
362
00:23:36,987 --> 00:23:38,457
All out lovely things are there.
363
00:23:39,795 --> 00:23:43,336
We'll never have to go away, will we?
- No, darling. I promised you.
364
00:23:44,163 --> 00:23:44,998
Never.
365
00:23:46,020 --> 00:23:48,323
I think Miss Fiske wants us to go.
366
00:23:49,091 --> 00:23:50,341
Both of us.
367
00:23:50,928 --> 00:23:52,812
I'm sure I can persuade
her to let you stay.
368
00:23:54,613 --> 00:23:56,349
Oh dear, I do wish Emily would come.
369
00:23:56,602 --> 00:23:58,912
Maybe we'd better get along
home in case she's waiting there.
370
00:23:59,701 --> 00:24:00,838
Come along, dear.
371
00:24:01,945 --> 00:24:04,810
I don't want her upsetting Miss Fiske
again. She can be very tactless.
372
00:24:23,370 --> 00:24:25,220
Here girl, take this.
373
00:24:25,436 --> 00:24:27,267
Thanks a lot. What are we to do with it?
374
00:24:27,506 --> 00:24:29,709
Put it in the woodshed,
where it belongs.
375
00:24:29,962 --> 00:24:33,268
The woodshed is full. I won't have
you cluttering up my kitchen with it.
376
00:24:33,731 --> 00:24:35,093
Very well then.
377
00:24:44,580 --> 00:24:46,788
Oh dear ..
378
00:24:48,844 --> 00:24:50,225
What is it now?
379
00:24:54,808 --> 00:24:56,535
Wait until Miss Fiske sees this.
380
00:24:57,306 --> 00:24:59,938
What's the matter now? My goodness.
381
00:25:00,154 --> 00:25:02,116
More wood?
- Yes. Miss Emily dumped it.
382
00:25:02,602 --> 00:25:04,986
Never mind. You get out of here.
- I got a nice lot today.
383
00:25:05,672 --> 00:25:08,305
What are you thinking of? Making a
mess with it all over my clean floor.
384
00:25:08,521 --> 00:25:10,394
The girl wouldn't let
me put it in the kitchen.
385
00:25:10,671 --> 00:25:13,708
She's quite right. I told you to stop
bringing in wood. We have enough.
386
00:25:13,924 --> 00:25:16,497
I must tidy up the river
banks. I hate waste.
387
00:25:16,713 --> 00:25:18,995
And I hate litter. Now you
clear it away immediately.
388
00:25:19,239 --> 00:25:21,201
I won't be ordered to do things.
389
00:25:22,767 --> 00:25:24,118
This is too much.
390
00:25:24,496 --> 00:25:26,293
My best polished table.
391
00:25:26,789 --> 00:25:28,933
Look how these shells have scratched it.
392
00:25:29,269 --> 00:25:31,965
What's this? Wet seaweed and a horrid ..
393
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,604
Dead bird.
394
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,561
Leave my bird alone. And my shells.
395
00:25:37,060 --> 00:25:38,248
They are my treasures.
396
00:25:38,610 --> 00:25:41,515
We don't understand expensive things.
It's so long since we had any.
397
00:25:41,981 --> 00:25:44,044
I know it's very simple of me.
But I am simple.
398
00:25:44,260 --> 00:25:46,087
Emily .. what's wrong?
399
00:25:46,309 --> 00:25:48,986
I hate her. She threw my
bird into the fireplace.
400
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,507
Emily, control yourself.
401
00:25:50,723 --> 00:25:52,603
See what she's done
with her ridiculous shells.
402
00:25:52,885 --> 00:25:54,816
It will take a month's
polishing to put it right.
403
00:25:55,032 --> 00:25:56,708
I'm sorry Miss Fiske, I'll put it right.
404
00:25:57,276 --> 00:26:00,394
No Ellen, you shan't. I'll do it.
Let me do it. I'll polish it.
405
00:26:00,610 --> 00:26:02,434
Every day, all through the winter.
406
00:26:02,769 --> 00:26:05,511
Sweet of you, Louisa. But I doubt
you'll be here through the winter.
407
00:26:05,969 --> 00:26:07,630
But we shall. Ellen said so.
408
00:26:07,953 --> 00:26:10,046
You're mistaken, Louisa.
I said nothing of the kind.
409
00:26:10,262 --> 00:26:12,701
But you did. You promised.
- Louisa, will you be quiet.
410
00:26:16,013 --> 00:26:18,157
My heavens. This is the last straw.
411
00:26:18,802 --> 00:26:20,996
You'll drive me as crazy as yourselves.
412
00:26:24,448 --> 00:26:25,406
Oh, Ellen.
413
00:26:27,312 --> 00:26:28,535
Miss Fiske.
414
00:26:29,134 --> 00:26:31,588
I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to say that, but ..
415
00:26:32,377 --> 00:26:34,890
I've had about as much as I can endure.
416
00:26:36,396 --> 00:26:39,219
Emily .. take Louisa upstairs.
417
00:26:39,889 --> 00:26:41,482
Now, stop your crying, Louisa.
418
00:26:42,358 --> 00:26:44,045
There's nothing to cry about.
419
00:26:45,286 --> 00:26:46,141
Do you hear?
420
00:26:46,743 --> 00:26:48,817
Go upstairs. Both of you.
421
00:26:51,981 --> 00:26:53,380
And close the door behind you.
422
00:26:58,271 --> 00:27:00,113
That was a cruel thing to say.
423
00:27:00,788 --> 00:27:01,944
But it's true.
424
00:27:02,778 --> 00:27:06,123
One with her telescope and the other
with her mania for collecting things.
425
00:27:06,703 --> 00:27:08,149
They are insane, both of them.
426
00:27:08,609 --> 00:27:10,479
Please don't use that word again.
427
00:27:11,078 --> 00:27:12,310
Emily was right.
428
00:27:12,956 --> 00:27:14,664
But then people who
have all they want ..
429
00:27:15,013 --> 00:27:17,979
Never understand how much the smallest
things mean to those who haven't.
430
00:27:18,345 --> 00:27:19,046
Really?
431
00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:21,362
I don't think this calls for a sermon.
432
00:27:22,276 --> 00:27:24,365
I've been more than generous
to you and your sisters.
433
00:27:24,581 --> 00:27:26,750
People have always been very
generous to you, Miss Fiske.
434
00:27:26,966 --> 00:27:29,126
My sisters and I have never had
friends to send <i>us</i> money.
435
00:27:29,379 --> 00:27:31,480
That's hardly my fault, is it.
- No.
436
00:27:31,793 --> 00:27:35,189
Don't you feel you have a responsibility
to those less fortunate than you?
437
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,615
I don't know what you're talking about.
438
00:27:38,441 --> 00:27:40,476
Life hasn't been very
kind to us, Miss Fiske.
439
00:27:40,817 --> 00:27:42,798
Every penny we've ever
had, I've had to work for.
440
00:27:43,014 --> 00:27:45,706
Every penny. But at least
we have our self-respect.
441
00:27:47,024 --> 00:27:48,654
How dare you.
442
00:27:49,634 --> 00:27:51,866
How dare you criticise my life.
443
00:27:52,216 --> 00:27:55,606
Do you think I don't envy women who
have respectability? Who have families?
444
00:27:55,822 --> 00:27:58,890
Who aren't just forgotten and pensioned
off when they lose their stock-in-trade.
445
00:27:59,208 --> 00:28:01,196
Then you can't blame me
for fighting for my family.
446
00:28:01,412 --> 00:28:03,466
Very admirable, but it's
your family and not mine.
447
00:28:03,941 --> 00:28:05,065
Let me tell you this.
448
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,935
Your sisters, insane or not,
have overstayed their welcome.
449
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,611
I invite them here for two days
and they've stayed six weeks.
450
00:28:10,827 --> 00:28:13,450
Or perhaps you were planning
to keep them here forever?
451
00:28:14,485 --> 00:28:16,324
Well .. I had thought ..
452
00:28:17,124 --> 00:28:19,622
That I might pay something out
of my wages for their keep.
453
00:28:19,895 --> 00:28:22,261
Ellen, you're a hypocrite.
You're worse, you're a cheat.
454
00:28:22,937 --> 00:28:26,279
You meant to foist your wretched
brood on me and bleed me white.
455
00:28:26,626 --> 00:28:30,814
And when I saw through your scheme, you
had the insolence to turn and abuse me.
456
00:28:31,124 --> 00:28:32,701
But you've chosen the wrong woman.
457
00:28:32,917 --> 00:28:35,255
You get those sisters of yours
out of this house at once.
458
00:28:35,604 --> 00:28:37,644
And take a month's wages
and go with them.
459
00:28:39,743 --> 00:28:40,815
Miss Fiske.
460
00:29:08,710 --> 00:29:11,039
Ellen .. why aren't you in bed?
461
00:29:11,451 --> 00:29:13,179
Why are you prowling about at this hour?
462
00:29:13,761 --> 00:29:16,786
Miss Fiske, may I come in?
I must talk with you, please.
463
00:29:17,357 --> 00:29:18,516
Well, mind your tongue.
464
00:29:18,764 --> 00:29:20,987
We don't want any more of
this afternoon's unpleasantness.
465
00:29:23,612 --> 00:29:24,936
I'm sorry about that.
466
00:29:25,715 --> 00:29:27,833
I was wrong. I shouldn't
have spoken to you as I did.
467
00:29:28,791 --> 00:29:30,462
No .. you shouldn't.
468
00:29:37,617 --> 00:29:38,744
Miss Fiske.
469
00:29:39,702 --> 00:29:42,303
Do you remember the letter that arrived
the day I went away to London?
470
00:29:42,556 --> 00:29:46,058
Yes .. what about it?
- It was from their landlady.
471
00:29:46,613 --> 00:29:47,747
Emily and Louisa.
472
00:29:48,187 --> 00:29:49,552
Had been a little difficult.
473
00:29:49,893 --> 00:29:51,137
She'd sent for the police.
474
00:29:52,329 --> 00:29:54,369
They were going to be
put away in an institution.
475
00:29:54,764 --> 00:29:57,034
The landlady was quite right.
That's where they belong.
476
00:29:57,393 --> 00:30:00,433
But Miss Fiske, you don't
understand. They're my sisters.
477
00:30:00,820 --> 00:30:02,707
You don't know what I've
gone through for them.
478
00:30:02,923 --> 00:30:05,036
They've no-one else in the
world to turn to but me.
479
00:30:05,740 --> 00:30:08,948
I pleaded with the police to release
them. They agreed on one condition.
480
00:30:09,533 --> 00:30:11,458
That they were to remain
in my personal care.
481
00:30:11,740 --> 00:30:13,336
That I was to be responsible for them.
482
00:30:13,787 --> 00:30:15,440
And if there were any more complaints.
483
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,522
That they were to be put away forever.
That's why I can't send them away.
484
00:30:19,825 --> 00:30:21,889
All this devotion is
very admirable, Ellen.
485
00:30:22,285 --> 00:30:24,471
But I fail to see how I can
help in any way at all.
486
00:30:24,801 --> 00:30:26,903
Oh but you can. You can, Miss Fiske.
487
00:30:27,618 --> 00:30:29,823
I thought perhaps they
might use the attic upstairs.
488
00:30:30,162 --> 00:30:32,379
They'll stay there out of the
way where you don't see them.
489
00:30:32,716 --> 00:30:34,876
They could use the back stairs
when they come in and out.
490
00:30:35,129 --> 00:30:37,055
Ellen, what are you talking about?
491
00:30:37,271 --> 00:30:40,267
I promise they'll never come near you.
You'll never know they're in the house.
492
00:30:40,829 --> 00:30:43,797
I'll look after them myself.
I'll cook their meals for them.
493
00:30:44,387 --> 00:30:46,231
I promise they won't
be any more trouble.
494
00:30:46,913 --> 00:30:49,120
Miss Fiske, they must
be with me, they must.
495
00:30:49,439 --> 00:30:51,590
I'll pay for their keep.
I'll work for nothing.
496
00:30:51,834 --> 00:30:54,509
Please .. oh, please Miss Fiske.
497
00:30:54,829 --> 00:30:56,720
Ellen, have you quite
gone out of your mind?
498
00:30:57,064 --> 00:31:00,126
You must be blind if you can't realise
they'd always be getting in my way.
499
00:31:00,342 --> 00:31:02,612
You pack them off tomorrow.
- But, Miss Fiske. Won't ..?
500
00:31:02,828 --> 00:31:04,369
No Ellen, my mind is made up.
501
00:31:05,471 --> 00:31:09,239
If you want to, you can stay here a few
days until you've found a new situation.
502
00:31:10,018 --> 00:31:12,814
Now run along to bed. And make
certain they leave tomorrow.
503
00:31:14,132 --> 00:31:16,592
You wouldn't want me to be sending
for the police, would you?
504
00:31:18,682 --> 00:31:20,329
Goodnight Ellen. I'm tired.
505
00:31:24,230 --> 00:31:25,186
Goodnight.
506
00:31:48,528 --> 00:31:50,908
But you told her you were
going to send us away.
507
00:31:52,592 --> 00:31:54,344
I'm not going to send you away.
508
00:31:54,732 --> 00:31:56,620
We heard you. We were listening.
509
00:31:57,784 --> 00:31:59,386
Isn't she terrible, Ellen?
510
00:32:00,207 --> 00:32:01,536
She's wicked.
511
00:32:03,006 --> 00:32:04,907
I'm not going to send you away.
512
00:32:06,836 --> 00:32:07,678
Never.
513
00:32:08,554 --> 00:32:11,269
If you're not sending us away,
what are you going to do?
514
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,293
I don't know.
515
00:32:16,674 --> 00:32:17,831
I must think.
516
00:32:30,078 --> 00:32:32,550
I've always wanted
to explore an old castle.
517
00:32:32,971 --> 00:32:35,857
Will it have a dungeon do you think?
- They all have dungeons.
518
00:32:36,191 --> 00:32:36,978
With bats.
519
00:32:37,415 --> 00:32:39,138
No, dear. Bats are in belfries.
520
00:32:39,459 --> 00:32:43,180
There's sure to be secret passageways
and places where they'd hide things.
521
00:32:45,198 --> 00:32:46,346
Like that.
522
00:32:54,259 --> 00:32:58,372
Yes .. I'm sure Miss Fiske has lots
of exciting things hidden in there.
523
00:32:58,588 --> 00:33:00,212
Her jewels, I'm sure.
524
00:33:01,019 --> 00:33:04,181
I've looked in all her boxes and
haven't been able to find them.
525
00:33:04,718 --> 00:33:07,167
Are you both ready?
- Oh yes. Quite.
526
00:33:07,404 --> 00:33:10,004
I managed to pack all
the lunch into one bag.
527
00:33:10,660 --> 00:33:11,630
Mine.
528
00:33:12,914 --> 00:33:15,600
Come here and sit down.
I want to talk to you both.
529
00:33:25,193 --> 00:33:25,808
Now.
530
00:33:26,107 --> 00:33:28,868
I haven't told you the real reason why
you're being sent away for a whole day.
531
00:33:29,589 --> 00:33:32,633
The truth is I want to be entirely
alone with Miss Fiske for a few hours.
532
00:33:32,849 --> 00:33:34,817
Is that why you got rid of Lucy too?
533
00:33:35,131 --> 00:33:37,177
I didn't get rid of Lucy, Emily.
She had a toothache.
534
00:33:37,393 --> 00:33:40,293
Oh Ellen dear, you know that's
not true. She didn't want to go at all.
535
00:33:40,754 --> 00:33:42,833
I said she had a toothache, Louisa.
536
00:33:44,698 --> 00:33:45,628
Now listen.
537
00:33:46,220 --> 00:33:49,408
Last night, while you were both asleep,
I had a long talk with Miss Fiske.
538
00:33:50,131 --> 00:33:52,867
She's tired of the marshes
and wants to travel for a bit.
539
00:33:53,530 --> 00:33:55,633
I've persuaded her to
sell this house to me.
540
00:33:55,849 --> 00:33:58,210
Not really, Ellen?
- We haven't discussed price yet.
541
00:33:58,976 --> 00:34:02,422
That's why I must be alone with her, so
we can talk with nothing to distract us.
542
00:34:02,694 --> 00:34:05,355
She may want more than
you're prepared to pay.
543
00:34:07,101 --> 00:34:09,142
I'm prepared to pay
quite a big price, Emily.
544
00:34:09,569 --> 00:34:11,442
Oh, lovely, lovely, lovely.
545
00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:14,491
Oh Emily, aren't you excited?
- Louisa, be quiet.
546
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:17,415
Now, there's one more thing.
547
00:34:18,401 --> 00:34:19,716
The most important.
548
00:34:35,231 --> 00:34:36,722
You see this bible, both of you?
549
00:34:37,587 --> 00:34:39,899
I want you to swear on it.
By father's memory.
550
00:34:40,590 --> 00:34:43,550
That you'll never repeat a word of my
buying this house as long as you live.
551
00:34:45,940 --> 00:34:46,963
What do I say?
552
00:34:47,581 --> 00:34:48,963
Just say 'I swear'.
553
00:34:49,670 --> 00:34:51,113
Oh .. I swear.
554
00:34:51,554 --> 00:34:52,484
You too, Emily.
555
00:34:52,787 --> 00:34:54,831
I won't swear on the bible. It's wicked.
556
00:34:55,435 --> 00:34:56,571
If you don't Emily ..
557
00:34:56,869 --> 00:34:59,143
I shan't buy the house and I'll
send you both back to London.
558
00:34:59,426 --> 00:35:01,058
Oh Emily, be sensible.
559
00:35:01,660 --> 00:35:04,984
I don't like being made
to do things .. I promise.
560
00:35:05,604 --> 00:35:06,759
Now, remember.
561
00:35:07,527 --> 00:35:09,016
That's a sacred oath.
562
00:35:15,968 --> 00:35:18,162
Here's Bates. Hurry now.
There's no time to waste.
563
00:35:35,582 --> 00:35:38,805
Drive slowly Bates.
Please don't let them get cold.
564
00:35:39,425 --> 00:35:42,412
You can take your time. I shan't be
expecting you back before dusk.
565
00:35:42,815 --> 00:35:43,999
Very good, ma'am.
566
00:35:44,599 --> 00:35:47,698
Goodbye Ellen. I wish you could come.
- I wish you were coming too.
567
00:35:48,129 --> 00:35:49,432
Goodbye Ellen.
- Goodbye.
568
00:35:49,861 --> 00:35:50,855
Goodbye, dears.
569
00:35:51,341 --> 00:35:53,195
Have a good time.
- Thank you.
570
00:36:58,085 --> 00:36:59,246
I'm out of practice.
571
00:37:11,178 --> 00:37:14,210
To dear Louisa and dear Emily.
572
00:37:14,858 --> 00:37:16,359
May we never meet again.
573
00:37:22,767 --> 00:37:24,335
That is so good.
574
00:39:14,210 --> 00:39:16,013
[ Door knocks ]
575
00:39:20,175 --> 00:39:22,634
May we come in?
- Yes.
576
00:39:25,330 --> 00:39:28,536
I'd like to speak to Miss Ellen.
Unless Miss Fiske is back?
577
00:39:29,038 --> 00:39:32,096
No, she's still away. I'll fetch Ellen.
578
00:39:34,682 --> 00:39:36,292
We're making jam.
579
00:39:44,568 --> 00:39:45,883
Good evening.
580
00:39:46,963 --> 00:39:48,418
It isn't a very good one, is it?
581
00:39:48,747 --> 00:39:52,681
No, as a matter of fact it's not.
Cats and dogs.
582
00:39:55,747 --> 00:39:56,934
Good evening, Sisters.
583
00:39:57,318 --> 00:39:58,650
Sorry to keep you waiting.
584
00:39:58,866 --> 00:40:00,911
But we're in the middle of
putting up our quince jam.
585
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,087
Please don't apologise. I'm afraid
we've come on a begging errand.
586
00:40:04,550 --> 00:40:06,781
Our supplier of oil hasn't
arrived from Rochester.
587
00:40:07,225 --> 00:40:10,245
And the Reverend Mother wondered
if we might borrow a can until Sunday.
588
00:40:10,738 --> 00:40:12,225
Of course .. Lucy.
589
00:40:16,315 --> 00:40:17,179
Yes, Miss?
590
00:40:17,438 --> 00:40:19,874
Will you run out to the shed
and bring in a can of paraffin.
591
00:40:21,575 --> 00:40:22,653
Yes, Miss Ellen.
592
00:40:24,007 --> 00:40:25,588
Won't you sit down, Sisters?
593
00:40:50,207 --> 00:40:51,986
Hey. Shush ..
594
00:40:53,587 --> 00:40:54,636
You again.
595
00:40:55,191 --> 00:40:56,464
Bad pennies always turn up.
596
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,166
What are you doing here, hanging
about with the storm and all?
597
00:40:59,382 --> 00:41:01,834
I've a little business inside.
Had to ensure the coast was clear.
598
00:41:02,199 --> 00:41:03,901
What business?
- Listen, Lucky.
599
00:41:04,179 --> 00:41:05,963
Is Miss Fiske about?
- No, she's away.
600
00:41:06,198 --> 00:41:08,242
And my aunt Ellen?
- She's here right enough.
601
00:41:08,601 --> 00:41:11,306
And them two crazy sisters of hers.
- Does she know I've been here before?
602
00:41:11,776 --> 00:41:14,618
No. Mistress said not to say.
- Good. Get on with your work.
603
00:41:15,044 --> 00:41:17,096
I'll come in the front door
like a proper gentleman.
604
00:41:18,142 --> 00:41:20,067
Remember .. we don't know each other.
605
00:41:20,424 --> 00:41:22,135
Not that we shan't .. later.
606
00:41:22,483 --> 00:41:24,169
I'm very particular who I know.
607
00:41:30,205 --> 00:41:33,391
For a moment, when I saw the candles
burning, I thought Miss Fiske was back.
608
00:41:33,607 --> 00:41:35,165
Ellen's been lighting them lately.
609
00:41:35,381 --> 00:41:38,777
She thinks Miss Fiske would like her to.
She says it keeps her memory burning.
610
00:41:40,386 --> 00:41:42,024
When are you expecting her back?
611
00:41:42,607 --> 00:41:44,132
I really couldn't say, Sister.
612
00:41:44,649 --> 00:41:46,293
She hasn't written for over a fortnight.
613
00:41:46,601 --> 00:41:48,509
We were so surprised
to learn she'd gone.
614
00:41:48,986 --> 00:41:51,374
She hadn't mentioned she was
planning a journey anywhere.
615
00:41:51,718 --> 00:41:53,242
No. It was quite unexpected.
616
00:41:53,558 --> 00:41:56,143
She had a letter from some old
friends inviting her on a trip.
617
00:41:56,566 --> 00:41:58,438
As they were sailing
the very next morning.
618
00:41:58,858 --> 00:42:01,023
The Reverend Mother wonders
what to do about the rent.
619
00:42:01,426 --> 00:42:03,908
From the little 3-acre field
we hire from Miss Fiske.
620
00:42:04,610 --> 00:42:07,476
Well, I'm managing all her
affairs while she's away, Sister.
621
00:42:07,990 --> 00:42:10,527
If you send it to me, I'll forward
it when I get her next address.
622
00:42:10,929 --> 00:42:12,143
Here, Miss Ellen.
623
00:42:12,665 --> 00:42:14,460
Good evening, Sisters.
- Thank you.
624
00:42:14,676 --> 00:42:17,225
That seems heavy. Go with the
Sisters Lucy and give them a hand.
625
00:42:17,662 --> 00:42:20,237
That's very kind of you, Miss Ellen.
- We've been bother enough.
626
00:42:20,526 --> 00:42:23,279
I'll be glad to go. I'll get my cloak.
627
00:42:23,813 --> 00:42:27,025
I think you are so brave
going out in the dark. I ..
628
00:42:29,550 --> 00:42:31,983
I hate the dark .. it frightens me.
629
00:42:32,329 --> 00:42:33,522
It shouldn't, my dear.
630
00:42:33,962 --> 00:42:35,605
Don't you believe we're watched over?
631
00:42:35,929 --> 00:42:36,605
Yes.
632
00:42:36,916 --> 00:42:39,057
But I'm never quite sure
who is watching us.
633
00:42:40,248 --> 00:42:42,591
I'm quite ready.
- We'd better be going.
634
00:42:43,099 --> 00:42:45,775
Goodnight and thank you very much.
- Goodnight Sisters.
635
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:47,278
Goodnight.
636
00:42:49,166 --> 00:42:51,399
There dear, you carry the oil.
637
00:42:51,737 --> 00:42:53,833
And I'll hold the umbrella over us both.
638
00:42:55,061 --> 00:42:56,885
Goodnight again.
- Goodnight.
639
00:42:57,307 --> 00:42:58,265
Goodnight.
640
00:43:02,547 --> 00:43:04,002
I must get back to the jam.
641
00:43:09,740 --> 00:43:12,474
Ellen was unusually nice to
Sister Theresa, wasn't she.
642
00:43:12,982 --> 00:43:14,966
They were quite chatty together.
- Louisa.
643
00:43:15,572 --> 00:43:16,883
I think Ellen is changing.
644
00:43:17,727 --> 00:43:19,727
I hope she's not getting
in league with the nuns.
645
00:43:20,445 --> 00:43:21,260
Against us.
646
00:43:21,660 --> 00:43:24,500
Ellen would never do that.
- She's taken to lighting those candles.
647
00:43:26,228 --> 00:43:29,299
I think I'll blow them out.
- Ellen wouldn't like that.
648
00:43:37,250 --> 00:43:39,018
Why should she have
everything her own way?
649
00:43:45,983 --> 00:43:47,147
Emily.
650
00:43:47,882 --> 00:43:50,640
What have you done?
- Something I wanted to do.
651
00:43:53,975 --> 00:43:55,167
[ Door knocks ]
652
00:43:57,910 --> 00:44:02,446
Louisa .. answer the door dear. Sister
Theresa's probably forgotten something.
653
00:44:02,792 --> 00:44:04,069
[ Door knocks ]
654
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:15,529
Alright.
655
00:44:15,879 --> 00:44:17,664
Don't be like that. I won't eat you.
656
00:44:20,998 --> 00:44:22,181
Who are you?
657
00:44:24,238 --> 00:44:25,637
And what do you want?
658
00:44:28,407 --> 00:44:29,447
Dear aunt Ellen.
659
00:44:30,236 --> 00:44:31,460
After all these years.
660
00:44:33,102 --> 00:44:35,749
What a family reunion. I'm Albert.
Don't you remember me?
661
00:44:35,965 --> 00:44:36,876
Albert.
662
00:44:37,941 --> 00:44:40,363
Of course. Rose's boy.
- So it is.
663
00:44:40,644 --> 00:44:43,402
Fancy Albert being here.
- Where on earth did you come from?
664
00:44:43,771 --> 00:44:45,815
Gravesend .. on a duck's back.
665
00:44:46,335 --> 00:44:48,923
It's Albert right enough.
Always saying funny things.
666
00:44:49,151 --> 00:44:51,064
He's soaked through.
- Yes, so I see.
667
00:44:51,292 --> 00:44:53,195
Don't stand there dripping
all over my best rug.
668
00:44:53,411 --> 00:44:55,045
Go by the fire with your wet things.
669
00:44:55,353 --> 00:44:58,190
That's more like my loving auntie.
My very distant auntie.
670
00:44:59,169 --> 00:45:03,139
Now we'll have fun with Albert here.
I'll go and fetch him a dressing gown.
671
00:45:03,573 --> 00:45:06,231
And I'll get him a towel.
So he can dry himself.
672
00:45:16,093 --> 00:45:17,967
Blimey, if that don't half
make my mouth water.
673
00:45:18,244 --> 00:45:21,154
Some nice, tasty grub and something
warm to chase it down the hatchway.
674
00:45:21,586 --> 00:45:22,690
That's what I need.
675
00:45:23,023 --> 00:45:25,422
Albert, tell me. Why have you come here?
676
00:45:26,169 --> 00:45:28,530
That can wait until I'm dry outside.
And not so dry, in.
677
00:45:28,779 --> 00:45:30,060
There you are, Albert.
678
00:45:30,552 --> 00:45:31,975
Thanks, me old cup of tea.
679
00:45:32,431 --> 00:45:34,816
Emily, slice off some beef,
and put out the bread and cheese.
680
00:45:35,830 --> 00:45:38,158
A pint of half-and-half would
be the proper ticket with that.
681
00:45:38,374 --> 00:45:39,680
This isn't a Tavern, Albert.
682
00:45:40,391 --> 00:45:43,061
How about a spot of brandy to
take the damp out of my throat?
683
00:45:43,426 --> 00:45:45,228
I'm unsure there's any
left in the decanter.
684
00:45:45,444 --> 00:45:46,717
There's some in the cellar.
685
00:45:47,395 --> 00:45:49,813
A cellar, eh? Your Ladyship,
allow me to lead you to it.
686
00:45:50,487 --> 00:45:52,705
No .. I'll go myself.
687
00:45:54,020 --> 00:45:55,499
Make way for the Duchess.
688
00:46:27,321 --> 00:46:29,640
Blimey. The view from here
is the best on the marshes.
689
00:46:30,542 --> 00:46:33,481
I say auntie, is this all yours?
- No, of course not.
690
00:46:34,251 --> 00:46:36,166
It belongs to the woman
I work for. Miss Fiske.
691
00:46:37,011 --> 00:46:39,510
Where is she, might I ask?
- Away.
692
00:46:41,683 --> 00:46:44,148
Five years, auntie old girl.
- What of it?
693
00:46:44,453 --> 00:46:46,646
You've changed.
- You've not.
694
00:46:47,504 --> 00:46:50,373
The same big blue eyes though.
You're still Lady touch-me-not.
695
00:46:50,847 --> 00:46:53,265
Let go of me. I'm in no
mood for your foolishness.
696
00:46:54,208 --> 00:46:55,739
The way you seem to be all keyed up.
697
00:46:55,999 --> 00:46:58,072
A little of my foolishness
just might do you no harm.
698
00:47:01,721 --> 00:47:02,961
Here's your food, Albert.
699
00:47:04,313 --> 00:47:07,205
Run up to bed, both of you.
I want to talk with Albert.
700
00:47:07,421 --> 00:47:10,580
But we don't want to go to bed.
- No, we want to stay to talk to Albert.
701
00:47:10,905 --> 00:47:13,857
Go on, do as aunt Ellen says. Toddle off
to bye-byes like good little girls.
702
00:47:14,125 --> 00:47:16,821
Here, wait. Why don't you wet your
whistles. It will make you sleep tight.
703
00:47:17,178 --> 00:47:19,055
Sleep tight. Albert, you are silly.
704
00:47:19,553 --> 00:47:22,004
I don't think they'd better, Albert.
- What's the harm?
705
00:47:22,483 --> 00:47:24,708
You don't have a long-lost
nephew every night of the week.
706
00:47:25,121 --> 00:47:26,369
Fetch some glasses, Emily.
707
00:47:26,585 --> 00:47:29,797
Very well, but not too much now.
- Just a tiny thimbleful for me, Albert.
708
00:47:31,252 --> 00:47:32,688
How about you, aunt Ellen?
709
00:47:33,327 --> 00:47:34,716
Nothing for me, thank you.
710
00:47:37,757 --> 00:47:40,199
Now, my Siamese twins.
What about a toast, eh?
711
00:47:40,523 --> 00:47:41,905
I don't know any.
712
00:47:42,140 --> 00:47:44,008
In that case, here's to absent friends.
713
00:47:44,328 --> 00:47:45,464
Absent friends.
714
00:47:46,046 --> 00:47:48,543
Ellen, I suppose we
should think of Miss Fiske.
715
00:48:01,321 --> 00:48:03,604
Who put out those candles?
- What candles?
716
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,445
Oh those.
- It must have been the wind.
717
00:48:10,055 --> 00:48:11,998
Goodnight, Albert.
- Goodnight my lady.
718
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,204
Goodnight, Albert.
- Goodnight.
719
00:48:21,642 --> 00:48:23,379
It wasn't the wind, Ellen.
720
00:48:38,904 --> 00:48:41,109
I say auntie, you've not
turned Roman have you?
721
00:48:41,466 --> 00:48:42,763
I do this for a friend.
722
00:48:48,243 --> 00:48:49,129
Now, Albert.
723
00:48:49,869 --> 00:48:52,134
Let's stop all this 'auntie' nonsense
and get down to cases.
724
00:48:52,862 --> 00:48:54,748
Why have you come here
and what do you want?
725
00:48:55,073 --> 00:48:56,918
Well auntie .. I mean, Ellen.
726
00:48:57,692 --> 00:49:02,208
To cut it fine, I'm taking a compulsory
holiday from my bank over in Gravesend.
727
00:49:02,602 --> 00:49:05,107
In other words, you've lost your job.
- I've given it up.
728
00:49:05,738 --> 00:49:07,522
You haven't done anything
wrong, have you?
729
00:49:09,237 --> 00:49:11,605
I sort-of helped myself to a
little salary I wasn't entitled to.
730
00:49:12,885 --> 00:49:14,393
You mean, you've stolen money.
731
00:49:16,415 --> 00:49:19,181
This is rattling good brandy.
- Answer me, Albert.
732
00:49:21,270 --> 00:49:23,848
You've got it.
- How much?
733
00:49:24,594 --> 00:49:27,402
A small matter of a hundred pounds.
- I'll see.
734
00:49:30,342 --> 00:49:33,271
I suppose you want me to give you the
hundred pounds so you can put it back?
735
00:49:33,515 --> 00:49:36,477
I'm afraid it's too late for that.
They found out, the police.
736
00:49:37,180 --> 00:49:38,164
The police?
737
00:49:38,389 --> 00:49:42,016
A friend passed me the tip they were
coming. So I .. I took French leave.
738
00:49:42,455 --> 00:49:44,956
But .. they'll follow you.
They'll come here.
739
00:49:46,079 --> 00:49:49,774
Don't worry .. no-one knows I've got
relations out here on the marshes.
740
00:49:51,122 --> 00:49:52,699
I'll be safe here for a lifetime.
741
00:49:53,159 --> 00:49:55,319
You're certainly not going
to stay here for a lifetime.
742
00:49:55,769 --> 00:49:57,815
Surely you don't mind me
staying for a while, do you?
743
00:49:58,340 --> 00:50:00,745
Until it all blows over.
- Then what do you propose to do?
744
00:50:01,094 --> 00:50:03,725
Clear out of the country.
America, Australia. Any old where.
745
00:50:04,230 --> 00:50:06,552
I'm .. counting on you to help me.
746
00:50:06,868 --> 00:50:08,188
I need money for my passage.
747
00:50:08,631 --> 00:50:09,630
I'm .. I'm stony.
748
00:50:11,353 --> 00:50:13,246
It won't cost much. Steerage.
749
00:50:13,691 --> 00:50:15,882
I don't see why I should concern
myself with your affairs.
750
00:50:16,414 --> 00:50:17,870
I'll land in prison if you don't.
751
00:50:19,541 --> 00:50:22,420
You're not the sort to turn anybody down
who's in trouble and needed your help.
752
00:50:23,210 --> 00:50:24,969
You wouldn't fail your
own flesh and blood.
753
00:50:25,185 --> 00:50:27,020
I'm no flesh and blood of yours, Albert.
754
00:50:27,468 --> 00:50:29,199
Won't you give me a
chance to start again?
755
00:50:29,415 --> 00:50:30,734
I promise. Cross my heart.
756
00:50:31,090 --> 00:50:33,457
I'll never do anything wrong
again for the rest of my natural.
757
00:50:33,673 --> 00:50:35,143
Let me go.
758
00:50:41,301 --> 00:50:44,030
Very well. I'll do it.
- Bless you, Ellen.
759
00:50:44,415 --> 00:50:46,973
You're a daisy, you are.
- We'll talk about it in the morning.
760
00:50:47,820 --> 00:50:50,180
You can sleep on the sofa tonight.
- I don't mind where I sleep.
761
00:50:50,396 --> 00:50:51,419
But mind you ..
762
00:50:51,635 --> 00:50:54,218
You can only stay until I've
arranged your passage on the boat.
763
00:50:54,434 --> 00:50:57,466
Anything you say,
Ellen old girl .. what's that?
764
00:50:57,983 --> 00:50:59,945
That's just the maid.
She's been out on an errand.
765
00:51:01,006 --> 00:51:02,550
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss?
766
00:51:04,518 --> 00:51:06,220
They'll be a gentleman
staying the night.
767
00:51:06,639 --> 00:51:07,819
A gentleman staying?
768
00:51:08,099 --> 00:51:09,776
A relation. He'll sleep in here.
769
00:51:10,033 --> 00:51:12,679
Now go to your room and change your
wet clothes before you start sneezing.
770
00:51:12,895 --> 00:51:15,090
Yes, Miss .. goodnight.
- Goodnight.
771
00:51:15,306 --> 00:51:16,096
Goodnight.
772
00:51:16,620 --> 00:51:17,557
'Lucy', is it?
773
00:51:19,035 --> 00:51:20,472
Yes .. Lucy.
774
00:51:23,706 --> 00:51:25,687
I fancy that's all for
tonight, aunt Ellen.
775
00:51:26,138 --> 00:51:29,180
I'll just have a weed before
I turn in. The last of the day.
776
00:51:30,306 --> 00:51:32,729
You seem to be taking this
all very lightly, Albert.
777
00:51:33,490 --> 00:51:35,166
You have told me the worst, haven't you?
778
00:51:35,601 --> 00:51:38,110
I mean, there isn't anything else?
- What else?
779
00:51:40,653 --> 00:51:42,212
There are worse things than stealing.
780
00:51:42,987 --> 00:51:43,994
For instance?
781
00:51:45,828 --> 00:51:47,359
No, there's no blood on my hands.
782
00:51:47,743 --> 00:51:49,703
Putting people out calls
for <i>real </i>nerve, you know.
783
00:51:54,270 --> 00:51:55,303
Yes.
784
00:51:59,547 --> 00:52:01,321
Goodnight, Albert.
- Nighty night.
785
00:53:12,967 --> 00:53:15,145
Did you enjoy the sermon, Mr Bates?
786
00:53:15,603 --> 00:53:16,818
Mighty powerful, Miss.
787
00:53:17,293 --> 00:53:18,797
Yes. It was, wasn't it.
788
00:53:20,284 --> 00:53:22,109
But there was a lot I didn't understand.
789
00:53:23,490 --> 00:53:24,866
The part that went ..
790
00:53:25,639 --> 00:53:26,568
How was it?
791
00:53:27,496 --> 00:53:29,004
The wicked flee.
792
00:53:30,087 --> 00:53:32,717
When no man .. pursueth.
793
00:53:34,739 --> 00:53:36,575
But .. but ..
794
00:53:38,561 --> 00:53:41,233
The righteous are as bold as a lion.
795
00:54:08,319 --> 00:54:09,297
Well.
796
00:54:10,743 --> 00:54:12,479
What do you think you're doing?
797
00:54:13,690 --> 00:54:16,840
I fooled around with this padlock
last night and it .. came off.
798
00:54:17,592 --> 00:54:18,689
You shouldn't have.
799
00:54:19,344 --> 00:54:21,297
That's where Miss Fiske
keeps her valuables.
800
00:54:21,551 --> 00:54:23,794
How does she get at them?
With a pickaxe? Look.
801
00:54:25,898 --> 00:54:28,667
Well I never. All bricked up.
802
00:54:29,531 --> 00:54:31,248
I wonder why that was done.
803
00:54:31,530 --> 00:54:33,342
It wasn't that way the
last time I was here.
804
00:54:33,821 --> 00:54:35,868
So you've had your nose
in there before, have you?
805
00:54:36,948 --> 00:54:39,174
Funny what nasty thoughts
people have sometimes, isn't it.
806
00:54:39,390 --> 00:54:41,597
Funny how they're right
sometimes, isn't it.
807
00:54:59,037 --> 00:55:01,443
I wonder why anyone would want
to brick up a place like that?
808
00:55:02,492 --> 00:55:05,171
Maybe Miss Fiske put her jewels
in there before she went away.
809
00:55:05,807 --> 00:55:08,881
You know .. she's not one to take
any chances leaving them about.
810
00:55:09,234 --> 00:55:10,530
Even with your aunt Ellen.
811
00:55:12,817 --> 00:55:15,523
If there are any sparkles in there,
I wouldn't mind having a peep at them.
812
00:55:15,748 --> 00:55:18,262
I'm sure you wouldn't.
- And neither would you, I dare say.
813
00:55:19,833 --> 00:55:24,037
In fact .. I'm sure you'd like the feel
of some around your swan-like neck.
814
00:55:26,610 --> 00:55:28,629
A pretty pink ear like
that calls for diamonds.
815
00:55:29,014 --> 00:55:31,473
A wandering hand like yours
calls for a slap in the face.
816
00:55:31,821 --> 00:55:33,675
It's wicked to slap a
man's face on a Sunday.
817
00:55:33,981 --> 00:55:35,745
The better the day, the better the deed.
818
00:55:36,179 --> 00:55:37,595
That leaves my conscience clear.
819
00:55:42,243 --> 00:55:43,680
I'll scream.
820
00:55:45,098 --> 00:55:46,140
What's that?
821
00:55:52,703 --> 00:55:55,550
What do you think I'm made of?
- Sugar and spice.
822
00:55:56,874 --> 00:55:58,131
And everything nice.
823
00:56:01,849 --> 00:56:03,164
Blimey, you're strong.
824
00:56:06,001 --> 00:56:07,586
It's a wig. Whose is it?
825
00:56:08,854 --> 00:56:10,150
It is Miss Fiske's.
826
00:56:10,705 --> 00:56:12,391
Oh, it's her best one.
827
00:56:13,295 --> 00:56:15,239
She's as bald as a coot.
- Ah.
828
00:56:15,455 --> 00:56:17,042
A wonder she didn't take it with her.
829
00:56:18,291 --> 00:56:19,267
Hello.
830
00:56:19,605 --> 00:56:22,290
Ah, she left a lot of
her fancy dresses too.
831
00:56:23,063 --> 00:56:24,930
Perhaps she'll buy some
new ones up in London?
832
00:56:25,392 --> 00:56:26,938
These are new. Most of them.
833
00:56:27,918 --> 00:56:30,059
You'd better put that back up.
- Alright.
834
00:56:30,285 --> 00:56:31,783
Get up on this chair.
835
00:56:39,798 --> 00:56:41,554
You know, it <i>is</i> odd
she only took one wig.
836
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:45,357
On a trip, anything might happen.
A fire or a gust of wind.
837
00:56:45,751 --> 00:56:46,409
Oh.
838
00:56:47,720 --> 00:56:49,195
Here's Emily coming up the path.
839
00:56:50,109 --> 00:56:51,329
You'd better be off.
840
00:56:57,184 --> 00:56:58,794
Hello my old cup of tea.
841
00:57:00,310 --> 00:57:02,634
What are you doing with those
bull-rushes? Looking for Moses?
842
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,371
You're making fun of me .. naughty boy.
843
00:57:28,649 --> 00:57:31,405
Hello Ducky .. I'm glad you're
back before the others.
844
00:57:31,964 --> 00:57:34,668
It isn't often I have the chance of
a tête-à-tête with the family's fairest.
845
00:57:34,884 --> 00:57:36,672
You're never serious
about anything, Albert.
846
00:57:36,888 --> 00:57:38,846
I was never more serious in my life.
847
00:57:40,212 --> 00:57:42,518
The storm did an enormous
amount of damage.
848
00:57:42,869 --> 00:57:45,494
Roads into Rochester and Gravesend
were completely flooded.
849
00:57:46,258 --> 00:57:48,836
The Postman told me.
- I hope they stay that way.
850
00:57:50,098 --> 00:57:51,558
Allow me, Empress.
851
00:57:52,362 --> 00:57:54,681
There's only one letter today.
It's for Miss Fiske.
852
00:57:55,047 --> 00:57:55,755
Is it?
853
00:58:01,577 --> 00:58:03,226
It's a cosy nest you got here.
854
00:58:03,605 --> 00:58:05,661
What's will happen to you
when Miss Fiske gets back?
855
00:58:05,896 --> 00:58:07,596
Will she let you stay on, do you think?
856
00:58:11,455 --> 00:58:12,701
She isn't coming back.
857
00:58:13,532 --> 00:58:14,548
Why not?
858
00:58:15,342 --> 00:58:16,575
Ellen's bought the house.
859
00:58:19,252 --> 00:58:19,924
Go on.
860
00:58:20,140 --> 00:58:21,241
Yes. It's quite true.
861
00:58:22,049 --> 00:58:23,150
It's a secret though.
862
00:58:23,366 --> 00:58:26,001
Ellen made us swear on the bible
that we wouldn't tell anyone.
863
00:58:26,218 --> 00:58:28,300
But you are one of the family.
So it's alright.
864
00:58:29,873 --> 00:58:31,661
Why should she want
to keep it a secret, eh?
865
00:58:31,877 --> 00:58:33,636
I don't know.
It was done in a great hurry.
866
00:58:33,873 --> 00:58:35,534
Louisa and I were sent off to Rochester.
867
00:58:35,750 --> 00:58:38,669
Then when we came back that night,
Miss Fiske was gone and it was all over.
868
00:58:40,902 --> 00:58:42,862
You won't tell Ellen I told
you, will you, Albert?
869
00:58:43,234 --> 00:58:43,975
No.
870
00:58:45,212 --> 00:58:47,000
We'll make that our
little secret, shall we?
871
00:58:47,335 --> 00:58:48,064
Alright.
872
00:58:50,086 --> 00:58:52,513
It will be rather fun.
Having a secret from Ellen.
873
00:58:53,143 --> 00:58:55,628
She thinks she's the clever one.
But she isn't.
874
00:58:57,109 --> 00:58:57,924
Not always.
875
00:58:59,816 --> 00:59:00,402
No.
876
00:59:01,225 --> 00:59:02,040
Not always.
877
00:59:17,517 --> 00:59:19,294
Albert.
- What?
878
00:59:25,153 --> 00:59:26,418
Good morning.
879
00:59:28,974 --> 00:59:30,034
May we come in?
880
00:59:30,250 --> 00:59:32,261
Who's that?
- A couple of nuns from The Priory.
881
00:59:33,048 --> 00:59:36,099
You talk to them, Albert.
I've got to tidy up the orchard.
882
00:59:47,032 --> 00:59:51,087
Oh .. I didn't know there was
a young man staying here.
883
00:59:51,632 --> 00:59:52,844
Is Miss Ellen about?
884
00:59:53,060 --> 00:59:55,956
Sorry. She's gone over to the church at
Cawley. I'm her nephew, can I help?
885
00:59:56,487 --> 01:00:00,357
We came to return this. She lent us
a little oil last night. We ran short.
886
01:00:00,792 --> 01:00:02,060
Thanks.
- Yes, and this.
887
01:00:02,634 --> 01:00:04,846
The rent for the little field.
Your aunt will understand.
888
01:00:05,106 --> 01:00:06,179
I'll give it to her.
889
01:00:06,395 --> 01:00:08,788
We are so looking forward
to Miss Fiske's return.
890
01:00:09,371 --> 01:00:10,864
She's a dear friend of ours.
891
01:00:11,239 --> 01:00:14,646
Oh .. have you .. heard from her lately?
892
01:00:15,031 --> 01:00:16,218
No, not a word.
893
01:00:16,752 --> 01:00:19,335
I think the Reverend Mother is
a trifle hurt she hasn't written.
894
01:00:19,678 --> 01:00:22,281
In fact, she didn't even tell
us she was going away.
895
01:00:22,777 --> 01:00:25,295
Not very chummy, was it.
- No, it wasn't.
896
01:00:26,837 --> 01:00:28,232
Good morning.
- Good morning.
897
01:01:05,242 --> 01:01:07,671
Now what are you up to?
- Fetch me a knife, Ducky.
898
01:01:15,499 --> 01:01:17,170
What's that?
- A letter for Miss Fiske.
899
01:01:17,511 --> 01:01:19,943
You're not going to open it?
- No. Wouldn't think of it.
900
01:01:24,242 --> 01:01:25,431
What's it say?
901
01:01:26,201 --> 01:01:28,502
'Dear Madam.
Regarding your instructions ..'
902
01:01:28,718 --> 01:01:31,591
'To forward the amount of the
enclosed cheque in 5-pound notes'.
903
01:01:32,239 --> 01:01:36,889
'Your signature appears to differ from
that with which we are acquainted'.
904
01:01:38,793 --> 01:01:41,444
'We should be obliged if you
could kindly confirm same ..'
905
01:01:41,845 --> 01:01:44,354
'By signing it afresh.
In your usual manner'.
906
01:01:48,582 --> 01:01:49,634
Fifty pounds.
907
01:01:50,633 --> 01:01:51,591
Notice the date.
908
01:01:52,218 --> 01:01:53,703
'October 14th'.
909
01:01:54,794 --> 01:01:57,258
That's three days ago.
She's been gone longer than that.
910
01:01:57,803 --> 01:01:59,484
Since the beginning of September.
911
01:02:00,292 --> 01:02:02,329
She probably made it
out from wherever she is.
912
01:02:02,949 --> 01:02:04,986
Yes, she could have. Hey, wait a minute.
913
01:02:06,442 --> 01:02:08,765
In that case, why did they
send the reply to her here?
914
01:02:10,183 --> 01:02:11,666
You see who it's made payable to?
915
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:14,680
Ellen Creed.
916
01:02:15,506 --> 01:02:17,785
What of it? I expect it's
the housekeeping money.
917
01:02:18,380 --> 01:02:21,488
Maybe. Where's the glue-pot?
- Over there.
918
01:02:21,704 --> 01:02:23,015
Get it for me.
919
01:02:28,096 --> 01:02:30,146
Dip your finger in it.
- I should say not.
920
01:02:30,516 --> 01:02:31,817
I've had no hand in this.
921
01:02:33,119 --> 01:02:33,963
Haven't you?
922
01:02:35,383 --> 01:02:37,379
You are a filthy pig.
- Go on. Seal it up.
923
01:02:38,971 --> 01:02:39,930
Go on.
924
01:02:44,402 --> 01:02:46,276
Don't forget.
You're in this as deep as me now.
925
01:02:46,550 --> 01:02:48,124
I wish you'd never come here.
926
01:02:48,888 --> 01:02:51,488
I don't know what comes over
me when you're around.
927
01:02:52,752 --> 01:02:54,483
You won't give me away
to Ellen, will you?
928
01:02:54,699 --> 01:02:56,230
I won't if you keep your mouth shut.
929
01:03:03,357 --> 01:03:06,241
Here come the performing seals.
Not a word, mind you.
930
01:03:17,604 --> 01:03:18,397
Albert.
931
01:03:18,622 --> 01:03:20,252
Hello, aunts .. had a nice pray?
932
01:03:20,492 --> 01:03:22,114
You should have been at church, Albert.
933
01:03:22,576 --> 01:03:24,609
The minister told us all about Hell.
934
01:03:25,016 --> 01:03:27,336
You'd have enjoyed the
bit about the lost souls ..
935
01:03:27,682 --> 01:03:29,251
Sizzling in the bottomless pit.
936
01:03:29,554 --> 01:03:31,970
Would I now? Sounds frightening.
937
01:03:32,540 --> 01:03:34,859
Ellen .. where is Hell?
938
01:03:37,451 --> 01:03:39,443
Hell is like the Kingdom of Heaven.
939
01:03:41,672 --> 01:03:42,552
It is within.
940
01:03:43,037 --> 01:03:43,995
That reminds me.
941
01:03:44,310 --> 01:03:45,926
One of your religious friends was here.
942
01:03:46,258 --> 01:03:49,076
She left you this.
It's the rent for some field or other.
943
01:03:50,580 --> 01:03:52,568
She didn't see you, did she?
- I couldn't avoid it.
944
01:03:52,784 --> 01:03:54,258
That was Sister Theresa.
945
01:03:55,171 --> 01:03:59,138
She's Miss Fiske's friend. She doesn't
like us any more than Miss Fiske did.
946
01:03:59,974 --> 01:04:01,311
Didn't Miss Fiske like you?
947
01:04:01,981 --> 01:04:03,098
She was horrid to us.
948
01:04:03,344 --> 01:04:05,103
Louisa, run upstairs
and change your dress.
949
01:04:05,417 --> 01:04:07,148
You can't sit around
in your best all day.
950
01:04:07,445 --> 01:04:08,575
No. I shan't, shall I.
951
01:04:09,221 --> 01:04:10,348
No. Of course not.
952
01:04:12,538 --> 01:04:13,819
Albert.
- Huh?
953
01:04:14,096 --> 01:04:16,776
I don't want you to mention Miss Fiske
again in front of my sisters.
954
01:04:17,336 --> 01:04:18,819
They quarrelled with her.
955
01:04:19,382 --> 01:04:21,392
And it upsets them very
much to talk about her.
956
01:04:22,012 --> 01:04:23,364
Sorry. Nobody told me.
957
01:04:24,555 --> 01:04:26,055
What did you quarrel about?
958
01:04:26,666 --> 01:04:28,328
I didn't say I quarrelled with her.
959
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,220
Would she by any chance be the friend
you lit those candles for last night?
960
01:04:37,276 --> 01:04:38,187
Yes.
961
01:04:39,145 --> 01:04:40,469
When did she die?
962
01:04:42,779 --> 01:04:43,699
Die?
963
01:04:44,779 --> 01:04:46,516
Who said anything about her being dead?
964
01:04:47,042 --> 01:04:50,858
I just assumed she was.
You don't light candles for the living.
965
01:04:51,493 --> 01:04:53,352
Do you?
- I don't know.
966
01:04:54,178 --> 01:04:55,831
I just thought they stood for prayer.
967
01:04:56,685 --> 01:04:58,451
I must find Emily.
- By the way.
968
01:04:58,779 --> 01:05:00,614
The postman gave her
a letter for Miss Fiske.
969
01:05:00,911 --> 01:05:02,450
From her bank, I believe.
970
01:05:03,202 --> 01:05:04,375
Give it to me.
971
01:05:14,895 --> 01:05:16,951
I'm managing all her
affairs while she's away.
972
01:05:29,109 --> 01:05:31,579
Anything important?
- Yes, rather.
973
01:05:32,625 --> 01:05:34,512
I must get an answer
in the post immediately.
974
01:05:39,075 --> 01:05:40,763
A stylish looking piano you've got here.
975
01:05:41,029 --> 01:05:43,016
Don't distract me, Albert.
I must concentrate.
976
01:05:43,301 --> 01:05:45,026
I'm sorry. Don't mind me, auntie.
977
01:05:59,907 --> 01:06:01,335
I say, you are up to date.
978
01:06:02,020 --> 01:06:04,648
I didn't expect to find a copy of
The Mikado way out here on the marshes.
979
01:06:10,467 --> 01:06:12,747
[ Whistling song: Tit-Willow ]
980
01:06:20,224 --> 01:06:21,491
Don't do that.
981
01:06:22,064 --> 01:06:24,252
I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to distract you.
982
01:06:25,378 --> 01:06:27,960
It's just I happen to dislike that
particular tune. That's all.
983
01:06:28,261 --> 01:06:29,932
It's a bit on the morbid side.
984
01:06:35,775 --> 01:06:37,740
Miss Ellen, how soon
will you want dinner?
985
01:06:38,044 --> 01:06:39,402
In a quarter of an hour, Lucy.
986
01:06:39,624 --> 01:06:41,383
I'll just post this
letter at the crossing.
987
01:06:41,801 --> 01:06:42,788
Let me go, Ellen.
988
01:06:43,019 --> 01:06:44,372
I can do with a sniff of air.
989
01:06:44,588 --> 01:06:46,710
No thank you.
I prefer to attend to this myself.
990
01:07:20,938 --> 01:07:22,723
What are you up to now?
991
01:07:23,124 --> 01:07:24,998
She just wrote a reply to
the letter we opened.
992
01:07:25,426 --> 01:07:27,560
I thought it would be interesting
to see what she says.
993
01:07:28,703 --> 01:07:29,518
'Dear sir'.
994
01:07:30,198 --> 01:07:30,956
'Cheque'.
995
01:07:31,301 --> 01:07:32,168
Something.
996
01:07:32,562 --> 01:07:33,406
'Incorrect'.
997
01:07:34,231 --> 01:07:35,018
Something.
998
01:07:35,529 --> 01:07:36,258
'Owing'.
999
01:07:36,987 --> 01:07:38,671
Something, something.
1000
01:07:39,444 --> 01:07:40,350
'Wrist'.
1001
01:07:41,875 --> 01:07:43,870
What does that word
look like to you? See.
1002
01:07:44,636 --> 01:07:47,233
'S .. p .. r ..'
1003
01:07:47,779 --> 01:07:48,718
S .. p .. r.
1004
01:07:49,226 --> 01:07:50,685
'Sprained'. That's it.
1005
01:07:51,092 --> 01:07:52,394
'Owing to a sprained wrist'.
1006
01:07:53,878 --> 01:07:54,922
Something. 'Yours'.
1007
01:07:55,374 --> 01:07:56,225
'Leonora'.
1008
01:07:57,357 --> 01:07:58,758
'Leonora Fiske'.
1009
01:08:01,625 --> 01:08:03,040
She signed it 'Leonora Fiske'.
1010
01:08:03,525 --> 01:08:04,684
What's it mean, Albert?
1011
01:08:05,493 --> 01:08:06,665
What do you think?
1012
01:08:07,266 --> 01:08:09,506
It looks as if she's pretending
to be Miss Fiske.
1013
01:08:10,308 --> 01:08:12,239
Getting money on the strength of it.
- Brilliant.
1014
01:08:12,455 --> 01:08:13,845
If that's true, she's a thief.
1015
01:08:14,342 --> 01:08:15,535
Like you.
- Shut up.
1016
01:08:18,319 --> 01:08:20,417
What will happen when
Miss Fiske comes back?
1017
01:08:23,624 --> 01:08:25,061
Suppose she isn't coming back?
1018
01:08:26,187 --> 01:08:29,149
Suppose she's died somewhere.
And Ellen is the only one who knows.
1019
01:08:29,485 --> 01:08:31,229
You can't die and only
one person know it.
1020
01:08:31,445 --> 01:08:32,744
Can't you? I'm not so sure.
1021
01:08:34,460 --> 01:08:35,600
One thing I do know.
1022
01:08:35,906 --> 01:08:38,896
She'd never risk it unless she knew
Miss Fiske was out of the way for good.
1023
01:08:39,955 --> 01:08:43,091
Alright .. assume she's dead.
Aunt Ellen is having the funds.
1024
01:08:43,645 --> 01:08:45,721
It might be years before
anybody would find out.
1025
01:08:48,011 --> 01:08:49,815
Why should she reap all the benefit?
1026
01:08:55,455 --> 01:08:57,100
There may be some pickings in it for us.
1027
01:08:57,481 --> 01:08:59,841
Would you like to see a bit of the
world? Have some fun with me?
1028
01:09:00,057 --> 01:09:01,907
You'd tempt Old Nick
himself, wouldn't you?
1029
01:09:02,123 --> 01:09:03,540
You've got to help me get proof.
1030
01:09:03,775 --> 01:09:05,763
I don't want to do anything
mean or underhanded.
1031
01:09:06,113 --> 01:09:09,069
Would I ask you to? Use your eyes
and keep your ears open. That's all.
1032
01:09:09,863 --> 01:09:10,821
What do you say?
1033
01:09:11,696 --> 01:09:12,720
I don't know.
1034
01:09:12,936 --> 01:09:14,752
Perhaps this will help
you make up your mind.
1035
01:09:20,189 --> 01:09:22,321
Well?
- I'll help you, Albert.
1036
01:09:23,541 --> 01:09:25,685
Here she comes. Look sharp now.
Back to the kitchen.
1037
01:10:47,655 --> 01:10:48,984
She's coming.
1038
01:10:49,341 --> 01:10:51,214
Blimey. You almost made
me frightened myself.
1039
01:10:51,698 --> 01:10:53,567
Hurry up, hurry up.
- Alright. Shut up.
1040
01:10:57,097 --> 01:10:59,119
Hey, go in the kitchen
and make some tea.
1041
01:11:00,769 --> 01:11:03,053
Take this with you. Go on, hurry.
1042
01:11:08,868 --> 01:11:10,408
Goodnight, Bates.
- Night, ma'am.
1043
01:11:10,665 --> 01:11:12,424
Don't forget.
Ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
1044
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:13,710
Very good, ma'am.
1045
01:11:24,420 --> 01:11:25,960
Did you have a successful trip?
1046
01:11:29,358 --> 01:11:30,324
Yes.
1047
01:11:31,452 --> 01:11:32,615
I have your ticket.
1048
01:11:33,462 --> 01:11:35,112
You leave tomorrow.
1049
01:11:36,730 --> 01:11:37,873
Do I?
1050
01:11:38,909 --> 01:11:41,037
Where are my sisters?
- I sent them off to bed.
1051
01:11:41,594 --> 01:11:44,567
They were getting a little out of hand.
- I dare say it wasn't their fault.
1052
01:11:45,180 --> 01:11:46,694
Lucy is making some hot tea.
1053
01:11:47,190 --> 01:11:48,628
We thought you might be cold.
1054
01:11:49,171 --> 01:11:51,500
I'll be down again .. as soon as
I've said goodnight to them.
1055
01:12:05,306 --> 01:12:06,436
Is everything alright?
1056
01:12:06,652 --> 01:12:09,253
No it's not. She's packing me off
tomorrow. We've got to move fast.
1057
01:12:10,013 --> 01:12:14,109
You haven't changed your mind, have you?
- I couldn't refuse you anything .. now.
1058
01:12:17,711 --> 01:12:20,732
We thought you'd never come,
Ellen .. I was frightened.
1059
01:12:21,412 --> 01:12:22,227
Frightened?
1060
01:12:22,443 --> 01:12:24,128
Yes, they were such funny noises.
1061
01:12:24,896 --> 01:12:26,049
It was only the rats.
1062
01:12:27,710 --> 01:12:29,343
What have you been doing all evening?
1063
01:12:29,794 --> 01:12:33,166
We played a game of cribbage.
Of course, Albert cheated.
1064
01:12:33,475 --> 01:12:35,420
But it was rather fun
watching him cheat.
1065
01:12:36,156 --> 01:12:38,001
He hasn't said anything
about Miss Fiske?
1066
01:12:38,432 --> 01:12:39,681
No.
- Miss Fiske?
1067
01:12:41,073 --> 01:12:41,974
Why should he?
1068
01:12:42,322 --> 01:12:44,819
And neither of you spoke to him
about my buying the house?
1069
01:12:45,173 --> 01:12:46,021
No, Ellen.
1070
01:12:46,441 --> 01:12:47,399
Do you remember?
1071
01:12:47,678 --> 01:12:49,855
You made us swear on
the bible we wouldn't.
1072
01:12:53,352 --> 01:12:55,327
I think you'd better go to
sleep now, both of you.
1073
01:12:55,778 --> 01:12:58,491
I'm going downstairs to have a
hot cup of tea before I go to bed.
1074
01:13:11,633 --> 01:13:14,151
Albert, do you think ..?
- Pour the tea, Lucy.
1075
01:13:21,955 --> 01:13:24,408
Thank you Lucy. You may go to bed now.
- Yes, Miss Ellen.
1076
01:13:24,946 --> 01:13:26,345
Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
1077
01:13:36,366 --> 01:13:37,639
Auntie, where is your cane?
1078
01:13:38,312 --> 01:13:40,981
You look like you'd like to take down
my breeches and give me a dozen.
1079
01:13:42,223 --> 01:13:45,038
There's a boat sailing for Canada
on Friday. You sail with it.
1080
01:13:46,295 --> 01:13:47,826
I'm not sure I want to go to Canada.
1081
01:13:48,849 --> 01:13:49,693
Yet a while.
1082
01:13:50,173 --> 01:13:51,779
You haven't much choice, have you?
1083
01:13:52,201 --> 01:13:54,201
I don't know. I'm getting
quite fond of this place.
1084
01:13:54,463 --> 01:13:57,278
The air suits me .. I'm very
happy here for the time being.
1085
01:13:57,793 --> 01:13:59,765
I'm not happy having you here.
- Why?
1086
01:14:01,027 --> 01:14:03,956
It isn't safe since Sister Theresa
knows you're staying here with us.
1087
01:14:04,613 --> 01:14:07,129
The wrong sort of talk would bring
the police around here in no time.
1088
01:14:07,692 --> 01:14:09,826
I don't propose to risk a
scandal on your account.
1089
01:14:10,979 --> 01:14:12,484
There's more to it than that.
1090
01:14:13,552 --> 01:14:14,914
Lucy is apt to talk.
1091
01:14:15,787 --> 01:14:17,383
I don't think we need worry about her.
1092
01:14:18,557 --> 01:14:20,578
No. You've made sure of that.
1093
01:14:21,269 --> 01:14:24,026
Whatever do you mean by that?
- You know what, you cheap little ..
1094
01:14:24,454 --> 01:14:26,419
Stop it Ellen.
You'll make me lose my temper.
1095
01:14:26,784 --> 01:14:27,717
Your temper?
1096
01:14:27,975 --> 01:14:30,803
You leave first thing in the morning.
That's the end of you and your temper.
1097
01:14:31,019 --> 01:14:32,487
I shouldn't try to bluff me.
1098
01:14:32,885 --> 01:14:36,020
I'm not bluffing you. I order you.
- If I don't choose to be ordered?
1099
01:14:36,755 --> 01:14:39,395
I can't throw you out physically.
But I can send for the police.
1100
01:14:39,611 --> 01:14:40,765
And have your scandal?
1101
01:14:41,425 --> 01:14:43,625
Really, you're being very
inconsistent now, auntie dear.
1102
01:14:47,747 --> 01:14:49,119
You won't send for the police.
1103
01:14:50,349 --> 01:14:51,841
Why are you so sure?
1104
01:14:52,573 --> 01:14:53,992
Because you've another reason.
1105
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:56,914
A more important reason for
not wanting the police here.
1106
01:14:57,546 --> 01:14:59,799
For wanting me out of this
house as quickly as possible.
1107
01:15:01,265 --> 01:15:02,936
As a matter of fact, you are right.
1108
01:15:03,339 --> 01:15:04,889
Now we get down to brass tacks.
1109
01:15:09,192 --> 01:15:11,134
Did it concern Miss Fiske by any chance?
1110
01:15:12,843 --> 01:15:14,271
It would and it does.
1111
01:15:15,303 --> 01:15:18,769
I met her in town today.
She's coming back.
1112
01:15:21,002 --> 01:15:24,068
She's coming back?
- And why shouldn't she?
1113
01:15:25,444 --> 01:15:27,138
I thought she'd gone for good.
1114
01:15:27,641 --> 01:15:29,345
How utterly absurd of you, Albert.
1115
01:15:29,950 --> 01:15:32,232
There has never been any
question of her not coming back.
1116
01:15:33,753 --> 01:15:35,532
Why didn't you say
so in the first place?
1117
01:15:35,748 --> 01:15:37,942
You played the fool so much
with Louisa and Emily.
1118
01:15:39,190 --> 01:15:40,693
I was afraid you'd blurt it out.
1119
01:15:42,481 --> 01:15:44,355
As it is, I'll have to
break it to them gently.
1120
01:15:44,571 --> 01:15:46,477
Because it means
they will have to go too.
1121
01:15:51,855 --> 01:15:53,989
My little country holiday has
obviously come to an end.
1122
01:15:54,843 --> 01:15:56,734
I don't know what the
blazes I'll do in Canada.
1123
01:15:56,950 --> 01:15:59,119
I suppose one can starve there
as well as anywhere else.
1124
01:15:59,677 --> 01:16:00,790
You'll get on.
1125
01:16:01,757 --> 01:16:03,762
I'll give you a little
something to start off with.
1126
01:16:04,659 --> 01:16:05,908
For your mother's sake.
1127
01:16:06,405 --> 01:16:08,376
I suppose I should extend
my most humble thanks.
1128
01:16:08,668 --> 01:16:10,540
No. That from you would be too much.
1129
01:16:11,034 --> 01:16:13,664
If that's all we have to say to each
other, I may as well get up to bed.
1130
01:16:32,163 --> 01:16:34,237
A good night's sleep wouldn't
do you any harm, either.
1131
01:16:35,093 --> 01:16:36,483
You look a bit played out.
1132
01:16:42,139 --> 01:16:43,698
I must lock up first.
1133
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,157
Will I be seeing you in the
morning before I leave?
1134
01:16:49,557 --> 01:16:50,486
Yes.
1135
01:16:59,735 --> 01:17:01,070
I forgot to tell you, auntie.
1136
01:17:02,138 --> 01:17:03,848
I had a funny dream last night.
1137
01:17:05,052 --> 01:17:05,796
Did you?
1138
01:17:08,636 --> 01:17:10,288
I dreamt Miss Fiske was dead.
1139
01:17:17,761 --> 01:17:20,112
Goodnight, auntie.
- Goodnight, Albert.
1140
01:18:52,767 --> 01:18:54,268
Miss Fiske ..
1141
01:19:06,554 --> 01:19:07,625
Albert.
1142
01:19:08,620 --> 01:19:09,497
Albert!
1143
01:19:48,544 --> 01:19:49,617
Good morning, Bates.
1144
01:19:49,833 --> 01:19:52,997
Miss Creed ordered me. It's about the
train, but she didn't say which one.
1145
01:19:53,823 --> 01:19:54,626
Bates.
1146
01:19:55,260 --> 01:19:56,975
Cancel it. Miss Creed's
not feeling well.
1147
01:19:57,382 --> 01:19:59,134
Nothing serious I hope, sir?
1148
01:19:59,716 --> 01:20:00,845
No. Nothing serious.
1149
01:20:01,576 --> 01:20:03,714
In that case, I'd better hop along.
1150
01:20:11,215 --> 01:20:13,479
She did look ill when I
took in her early tea.
1151
01:20:13,844 --> 01:20:15,160
I wish we hadn't done it.
1152
01:20:15,376 --> 01:20:17,754
Pull yourself together.
You'll ruin everything. Go on upstairs.
1153
01:20:18,116 --> 01:20:20,071
She might have died.
- Shut up.
1154
01:20:22,419 --> 01:20:24,304
Well she didn't. And we
proved what we wanted.
1155
01:20:24,605 --> 01:20:27,046
Miss Fiske is dead and she knows it.
- I wonder when she died.
1156
01:20:27,262 --> 01:20:30,193
One more go, and I'll tell you when
and how, she died. Now, go on upstairs.
1157
01:20:32,234 --> 01:20:33,778
What did Bates want, Albert?
1158
01:20:34,469 --> 01:20:37,339
He brought the news from the outside
world. It will tickle you to death.
1159
01:20:37,669 --> 01:20:39,500
Wigs and whiskers are
coming back in again.
1160
01:20:39,795 --> 01:20:41,748
I don't think this is a
time for joking, Albert.
1161
01:20:42,024 --> 01:20:43,268
With Ellen the way she is.
1162
01:20:43,484 --> 01:20:45,673
You take this thing too seriously,
my old brussels sprout.
1163
01:20:45,906 --> 01:20:48,296
She was walking in her sleep
and had a nightmare. That's all.
1164
01:20:48,857 --> 01:20:50,738
It wasn't a nightmare, Albert.
1165
01:20:52,979 --> 01:20:56,425
Oh .. what was it then?
- She says she saw a ghost.
1166
01:20:58,326 --> 01:21:00,241
In that case, lay another
place for breakfast.
1167
01:21:01,837 --> 01:21:04,083
Do you really think
it was a ghost, Emily?
1168
01:21:04,814 --> 01:21:08,147
If it were only a nightmare,
we wouldn't have heard it too.
1169
01:21:09,095 --> 01:21:12,379
Heard what?
- The music. Miss Fiske's music.
1170
01:21:13,216 --> 01:21:14,174
You know, Emily.
1171
01:21:14,512 --> 01:21:16,786
I'm sometimes afraid Miss Fiske
will get the better of Ellen.
1172
01:21:17,358 --> 01:21:20,210
I sometimes think she wants
to come back and turn us out.
1173
01:21:20,570 --> 01:21:23,299
I think Miss Fiske is here .. now.
1174
01:21:24,166 --> 01:21:27,506
Well .. what are you
two whispering about?
1175
01:21:28,354 --> 01:21:30,821
Hadn't you better go for your walk now?
- Yes, Ellen.
1176
01:21:31,124 --> 01:21:32,605
Anything you say, Ellen.
1177
01:21:46,684 --> 01:21:48,838
Do you think you're
strong enough to be up?
1178
01:21:49,303 --> 01:21:52,031
Yes, dear. I'm quite alright now.
- Hadn't you better have a doctor?
1179
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,336
No. A doctor couldn't do any good.
1180
01:22:01,118 --> 01:22:03,274
Why are you two standing
there like a couple of owls?
1181
01:22:04,315 --> 01:22:05,674
Emily has been frightening me.
1182
01:22:05,890 --> 01:22:07,724
You've been imagining
things, both of you.
1183
01:22:07,940 --> 01:22:09,719
Now, run along for your walk.
1184
01:22:10,194 --> 01:22:12,573
Whatever you say, Ellen. You know best.
1185
01:22:47,533 --> 01:22:48,748
Good morning, aunt Ellen.
1186
01:22:52,429 --> 01:22:53,848
We didn't expect you down today.
1187
01:22:55,144 --> 01:22:56,748
Why aren't you ready yet?
1188
01:22:57,416 --> 01:22:58,898
Bates will be here at any moment.
1189
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:01,876
Bates has been here and
gone .. I sent him away.
1190
01:23:02,599 --> 01:23:04,832
What do you mean by interfering
with my arrangements?
1191
01:23:05,087 --> 01:23:07,308
I didn't like to go and leave
you not feeling well.
1192
01:23:07,829 --> 01:23:09,585
I'm quite recovered now, thank you.
1193
01:23:10,535 --> 01:23:12,151
It was a queer turn you had last night.
1194
01:23:13,012 --> 01:23:13,913
What happened?
1195
01:23:16,155 --> 01:23:17,012
Nothing.
1196
01:23:17,529 --> 01:23:19,792
You know, you should really do
something about your nerves.
1197
01:23:20,064 --> 01:23:22,710
This isn't the first time you've walked
in your sleep, according to Emily.
1198
01:23:23,866 --> 01:23:24,996
What's Emily told you?
1199
01:23:25,212 --> 01:23:26,370
Just the usual chatter.
1200
01:23:27,566 --> 01:23:30,648
They do say that people who walk in
their sleep have a guilty conscience.
1201
01:23:32,807 --> 01:23:34,722
What's behind that remark, Albert?
1202
01:23:35,877 --> 01:23:36,788
Nothing.
1203
01:23:56,997 --> 01:23:58,016
You know.
1204
01:23:58,692 --> 01:23:59,725
Uhuh.
1205
01:24:07,734 --> 01:24:09,783
Then it was you last night?
- Yes.
1206
01:24:10,635 --> 01:24:12,786
Me and Lucy.
- She knows too?
1207
01:24:13,435 --> 01:24:16,579
Not what I know. That's something you
and I are going to keep to ourselves.
1208
01:24:17,454 --> 01:24:19,302
Provided of course, you treat me right.
1209
01:24:21,351 --> 01:24:22,852
What are you going to do?
1210
01:24:24,955 --> 01:24:26,342
As I said, I'm very happy here.
1211
01:24:26,974 --> 01:24:29,880
I think with your financial help I'll
be able to adjust things at the bank.
1212
01:24:30,486 --> 01:24:33,462
And we can all settle down in peace.
A contented little family.
1213
01:24:38,699 --> 01:24:40,639
You mean, you propose
to go on living here?
1214
01:24:41,042 --> 01:24:42,511
With me?
- Why not?
1215
01:24:43,380 --> 01:24:45,003
You'd never be quite sure, would you?
1216
01:24:45,991 --> 01:24:47,704
You might not enjoy your meals.
1217
01:24:51,328 --> 01:24:53,741
You wouldn't dare .. a second time.
1218
01:24:54,750 --> 01:24:57,031
It takes a lot of courage to
kill for the first time, Albert.
1219
01:24:57,830 --> 01:25:00,317
Once you've sold your soul to
the Devil it becomes easier.
1220
01:25:01,558 --> 01:25:02,675
Much easier.
1221
01:25:03,887 --> 01:25:07,713
Alright .. give me £500 and I'll clear
out for good. And keep my mouth shut.
1222
01:25:07,933 --> 01:25:10,215
I'm not afraid of you, Albert.
And your shabby little tricks.
1223
01:25:10,666 --> 01:25:13,323
In the middle of the night, you may
fancy yourself cutting quite a figure.
1224
01:25:13,980 --> 01:25:15,595
It's broad daylight now.
1225
01:25:16,055 --> 01:25:17,426
[ Door knocks ]
1226
01:25:22,761 --> 01:25:23,944
It's those nuns.
1227
01:25:24,482 --> 01:25:27,362
Get that out of sight.
And yourself with it.
1228
01:25:31,659 --> 01:25:33,002
[ Door knocks ]
1229
01:25:38,532 --> 01:25:41,311
Good day, Sisters.
- I must talk to you, right away.
1230
01:25:41,857 --> 01:25:43,121
Are you alone?
- Yes.
1231
01:25:43,889 --> 01:25:44,905
What's the matter?
1232
01:25:45,241 --> 01:25:48,898
It's really none of my business
and I shouldn't have come but ..
1233
01:25:49,781 --> 01:25:52,419
The police. They've been to the Priory.
- What about?
1234
01:25:52,973 --> 01:25:54,653
They're searching for a young man.
1235
01:25:55,095 --> 01:25:57,671
Who stole money from a
bank over Gravesend way.
1236
01:25:58,212 --> 01:26:01,295
And from the description,
I suspect it was your nephew.
1237
01:26:01,945 --> 01:26:05,639
I thought if he were told, he might
have a chance to do the right thing.
1238
01:26:06,213 --> 01:26:07,596
And give himself up.
1239
01:26:08,675 --> 01:26:10,261
It is your nephew?
- Yes.
1240
01:26:10,825 --> 01:26:14,130
But they mustn't search here.
- They've gone to the Coyne farm first.
1241
01:26:14,553 --> 01:26:16,139
I heard one of them say so.
1242
01:26:17,097 --> 01:26:20,813
Oh Miss Ellen. Have I done
wrong in coming to warn you?
1243
01:26:22,345 --> 01:26:23,773
I don't know, Sister.
1244
01:26:24,730 --> 01:26:26,719
I had a brother rather like that.
1245
01:26:27,632 --> 01:26:28,938
He went wrong too.
1246
01:26:30,148 --> 01:26:33,618
People are so easily lost, aren't they?
1247
01:26:34,524 --> 01:26:35,575
Yes they are.
1248
01:26:36,083 --> 01:26:38,511
Poor girl. You have so many burdens.
1249
01:26:39,161 --> 01:26:40,320
If you refer to Albert.
1250
01:26:40,901 --> 01:26:42,388
He means absolutely nothing to me.
1251
01:26:43,143 --> 01:26:44,543
No-one does, for that matter.
1252
01:26:45,350 --> 01:26:46,843
Except Emily and Louisa.
1253
01:26:48,365 --> 01:26:53,486
If, any time, we can do anything to make
things easier for you or your sisters ..
1254
01:26:54,242 --> 01:26:56,078
Don't hesitate to turn to us.
1255
01:26:56,401 --> 01:26:58,181
That's very kind of you, Sister Theresa.
1256
01:26:58,843 --> 01:27:00,509
But you know, we're not of your faith.
1257
01:27:01,152 --> 01:27:04,017
In my Father's house are many mansions.
1258
01:27:10,324 --> 01:27:11,797
Blimey, I thought they'd never go.
1259
01:27:12,013 --> 01:27:13,715
Thanks for putting in
a good word for me.
1260
01:27:15,247 --> 01:27:16,837
The Coyne farm, is it?
1261
01:27:17,115 --> 01:27:19,332
That will give me a chance to
get behind them to the river.
1262
01:27:19,548 --> 01:27:21,951
Hurry. There's no time to lose.
- Yes, I'll get my clothes.
1263
01:27:36,482 --> 01:27:37,496
Lucy.
1264
01:27:38,970 --> 01:27:40,574
Why are you staring at me like that?
1265
01:27:47,259 --> 01:27:48,389
You've been listening.
1266
01:27:52,279 --> 01:27:53,011
Lucy.
1267
01:27:53,847 --> 01:27:55,077
Lucy, come back.
1268
01:27:56,673 --> 01:27:57,922
Lucy, come back.
1269
01:28:00,607 --> 01:28:01,729
What's up?
1270
01:28:04,948 --> 01:28:05,763
What is it?
1271
01:28:06,671 --> 01:28:07,700
Lucy's run off.
1272
01:28:08,543 --> 01:28:09,842
She was listening.
1273
01:28:11,899 --> 01:28:13,091
Turn me in, would she?
1274
01:28:13,589 --> 01:28:15,946
I've got to move fast.
Where's that money and boat ticket?
1275
01:28:21,783 --> 01:28:23,304
You mean, she heard all about that?
1276
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:28,225
Yes.
1277
01:28:29,117 --> 01:28:31,860
Hey .. you'd better
make a dash for it too.
1278
01:28:46,271 --> 01:28:47,740
Don't stand there mooning about.
1279
01:28:48,092 --> 01:28:49,909
Put your things on and
let's get out of here.
1280
01:28:52,816 --> 01:28:53,999
I'm not going.
1281
01:28:56,844 --> 01:28:58,130
Are you out of your mind?
1282
01:29:01,266 --> 01:29:03,883
You know what they'll do to you?
- You'd better hurry, Albert.
1283
01:29:04,966 --> 01:29:06,581
Well, if that don't beat the cards.
1284
01:29:08,780 --> 01:29:09,710
Well then ..
1285
01:29:11,785 --> 01:29:14,516
So long Ellen .. no hard feelings.
1286
01:29:49,217 --> 01:29:50,486
Ellen, it was so funny.
1287
01:29:50,849 --> 01:29:51,893
We just saw Albert.
1288
01:29:52,306 --> 01:29:53,808
He was playing 'tag' with some men.
1289
01:29:54,130 --> 01:29:56,069
He didn't win. They caught him.
1290
01:29:56,413 --> 01:29:57,556
He got quite annoyed.
1291
01:30:00,436 --> 01:30:02,922
Ellen, look.
We found a lot of jackdaw feathers.
1292
01:30:03,297 --> 01:30:05,846
We're going to tie them into
bundles and make little dusters.
1293
01:30:07,021 --> 01:30:08,492
Where are you going?
1294
01:30:10,172 --> 01:30:11,816
I'm going to Coyne farm.
1295
01:30:12,298 --> 01:30:14,852
There are some gentlemen there from
Gravesend and I want to see them.
1296
01:30:15,068 --> 01:30:16,974
You won't bring them
back here, will you Ellen.
1297
01:30:17,228 --> 01:30:19,134
It's so nice and peaceful by ourselves.
1298
01:30:20,007 --> 01:30:22,812
No, dear. I'll try not to
bring them back here.
1299
01:30:31,833 --> 01:30:35,636
You have been happy here, haven't you?
- We are happy here, aren't we Emily?
1300
01:30:35,852 --> 01:30:38,249
Yes .. it's much better than London.
1301
01:30:38,547 --> 01:30:40,897
It's so good of you to have
bought this house for us.
1302
01:30:41,242 --> 01:30:43,035
You have been clever, Ellen.
1303
01:31:06,500 --> 01:31:07,632
How long will you be?
1304
01:31:08,778 --> 01:31:10,031
I don't know, dear.
1305
01:31:10,562 --> 01:31:12,115
Maybe quite a time.
1306
01:31:13,116 --> 01:31:15,317
I think I shall go down
to The Priory tomorrow.
1307
01:31:15,914 --> 01:31:18,728
I should like to see the things the
Reverend Mother collected on the marsh.
1308
01:31:18,965 --> 01:31:20,045
I'll go with you.
1309
01:31:26,793 --> 01:31:29,371
Goodbye, Ellen .. don't worry about us.
1310
01:31:29,816 --> 01:31:31,460
We can look after ourselves.
1311
01:32:12,774 --> 01:32:13,678

Ellen Creed, a proud spinster fallen on hard times, has spent the past two years as housekeeper and companion to her old friend Leonora Fiske, a wealthy retiree who in her youth had been a chorus girl "of easy virtue". Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.
One day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.
Ellen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.
Ellen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.
Some nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.
Albert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a "sprained wrist." Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.
Albert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men. Ellen smiles, dons her coat and hat, tells the sisters she's going to see some men, kisses them goodbye and departs into the fog.

1
00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:15,105
Ellen.
2
00:02:16,275 --> 00:02:18,207
Yes, Miss Fiske.
- Is there any mail for me?
3
00:02:18,783 --> 00:02:20,449
No, just this one letter.
4
00:02:22,257 --> 00:02:24,580
No sign of Bates yet?
- Not yet.
5
00:02:25,271 --> 00:02:27,122
Oh dear, I do hope you
won't miss your train.
6
00:02:28,288 --> 00:02:29,130
I mustn't.
7
00:02:32,003 --> 00:02:34,632
Oh Lucy, hurry with that bag.
- Just coming, Miss.
8
00:02:39,861 --> 00:02:40,533
Ellen.
9
00:02:40,937 --> 00:02:42,986
That business I want you
to see about in London.
10
00:02:43,703 --> 00:02:45,281
This is for Mr Scott at the bank.
11
00:02:45,872 --> 00:02:47,797
It's about those Brazilian
bonds of mine.
12
00:02:48,116 --> 00:02:50,463
The way the market is this week,
I think they ought to be ..
13
00:02:51,108 --> 00:02:53,011
Get outside.
Keep your eyes open for Bates.
14
00:02:53,367 --> 00:02:54,154
Yes, Miss.
15
00:02:57,364 --> 00:02:59,365
And this address is
just off Berkeley Square.
16
00:02:59,637 --> 00:03:02,745
Go to the servant's entrance and
ask for Mr Blake. He's the butler.
17
00:03:02,990 --> 00:03:06,248
Say you've come from me with
a message for Lord Cardington.
18
00:03:06,501 --> 00:03:08,999
And will he give it to his
Lordship .. privately.
19
00:03:10,145 --> 00:03:11,726
Ellen, you aren't paying attention.
20
00:03:12,861 --> 00:03:14,130
But I am, Miss Fiske.
21
00:03:15,291 --> 00:03:16,862
What would be the best time to call?
22
00:03:18,183 --> 00:03:20,515
Harry always used to dine around eight.
23
00:03:21,648 --> 00:03:23,869
You call about half past seven.
- Yes, very well.
24
00:03:24,511 --> 00:03:25,441
You seem upset.
25
00:03:26,165 --> 00:03:27,082
Bad news?
26
00:03:28,607 --> 00:03:30,395
I don't want to bother
you with my troubles.
27
00:03:31,555 --> 00:03:33,845
It isn't a question of bothering
me with your troubles.
28
00:03:34,385 --> 00:03:36,059
You've become almost like my daughter.
29
00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:40,033
The letter is from my sisters,
Emily and Louisa.
30
00:03:40,723 --> 00:03:42,666
They're very unhappy back
in London without me.
31
00:03:43,371 --> 00:03:46,159
After all, I only saw them once since
I came to work for you, Miss Fiske.
32
00:03:46,627 --> 00:03:50,075
You'll see them today, won't you?
And everything will be alright, surely.
33
00:03:50,516 --> 00:03:51,365
Miss Fiske.
34
00:03:52,270 --> 00:03:53,239
Bates is coming.
35
00:03:53,677 --> 00:03:54,941
Tell him to hurry himself.
36
00:03:56,902 --> 00:04:00,083
My kind regards to your sisters, Ellen.
- Thank you, Miss Fiske.
37
00:04:05,516 --> 00:04:07,945
I've written them so much about you.
38
00:04:08,818 --> 00:04:10,041
How kind you've been.
39
00:04:10,952 --> 00:04:13,704
Stuff and nonsense.
I'm fond of you. You shouldn't ..
40
00:04:14,411 --> 00:04:16,314
Oh, a lovely juicy one.
41
00:04:18,629 --> 00:04:21,722
Perhaps you'll .. you might allow
them down for a little visit one day?
42
00:04:22,338 --> 00:04:24,174
Oh dear, look what the damp has done.
43
00:04:24,744 --> 00:04:27,291
Certainly, yes.
By all means. At any time.
44
00:04:27,661 --> 00:04:30,625
You know Lucy polished this
table all yesterday afternoon.
45
00:04:31,859 --> 00:04:34,142
Miss Fiske.
- Yes?
46
00:04:34,903 --> 00:04:36,139
It occurred to me that ..
47
00:04:36,694 --> 00:04:40,310
Since they've been so wretched lately,
and you may allow them to visit one day.
48
00:04:40,526 --> 00:04:42,677
Oh that? Yes, indeed. You tell them.
49
00:04:43,191 --> 00:04:45,776
Perhaps in the spring when
it's warm and sunny.
50
00:04:58,452 --> 00:05:01,788
Well .. what I was going to ask was ..
51
00:05:03,656 --> 00:05:06,019
Might I bring them back
with me this time? Now?
52
00:05:06,313 --> 00:05:08,044
Well now, Ellen.
- They won't be a bother.
53
00:05:08,260 --> 00:05:11,100
I promise Miss Fiske .. and it
will mean so much to them.
54
00:05:13,860 --> 00:05:17,056
Very well my dear. You bring with
you by all means. For a day or two.
55
00:05:17,531 --> 00:05:18,974
Thank you, Miss Fiske.
56
00:05:19,913 --> 00:05:22,776
I can't tell you how grateful I am.
- Well don't try, my dear.
57
00:05:23,612 --> 00:05:26,540
He's here, Miss.
- About time. The good-for-nothing.
58
00:05:29,731 --> 00:05:31,919
Ellen, have you got everything?
- Yes, Miss Fiske.
59
00:05:36,257 --> 00:05:37,214
Morning, ma'am.
60
00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:40,040
Bates, you might have been more prompt.
What on earth made you so late?
61
00:05:40,256 --> 00:05:44,233
Her. You can't gallop over the roads
with a lady in her delicate condition.
62
00:05:45,131 --> 00:05:46,985
She's going to throw a calf, she be.
63
00:05:47,329 --> 00:05:49,142
I'm taking her to the vets, I am.
64
00:05:49,580 --> 00:05:53,795
Kindly let her not throw any calves
until you get Miss Ellen to the station.
65
00:05:55,009 --> 00:05:58,324
Calves don't come by timetable, lady.
- Well trains do.
66
00:06:01,093 --> 00:06:02,789
Yes, ma'am.
- Goodbye, Miss Fiske.
67
00:06:03,093 --> 00:06:05,919
Goodbye, Miss Ellen.
- Goodbye, Lucy.
68
00:06:08,225 --> 00:06:10,399
Don't forget the allowance
from you-know-who.
69
00:06:10,690 --> 00:06:11,943
No, I shan't.
70
00:06:12,751 --> 00:06:13,558
Goodbye.
71
00:06:14,089 --> 00:06:15,295
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss.
72
00:06:16,549 --> 00:06:18,440
Alright now, there is a
day's work to be done.
73
00:06:43,285 --> 00:06:46,731
La, la, la .. la, la, la.
74
00:06:47,792 --> 00:06:51,445
This is nice. It's very, very nice.
- What's that you have there, Miss?
75
00:06:52,224 --> 00:06:55,022
It's called the New Comic Opera.
It's all the rage in London.
76
00:06:55,382 --> 00:06:56,355
The Mi-Ka-Do.
77
00:06:57,272 --> 00:06:58,355
Mikado.
78
00:06:59,483 --> 00:07:02,512
I used to tour the provinces with
the gentleman who sent it to me.
79
00:07:02,932 --> 00:07:05,701
Look, he signed it for me:
'Rutland Barington'.
80
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,844
'For my adored Leonora
with fond memories of ..'
81
00:07:12,167 --> 00:07:14,032
Never mind about that.
Go and do the dishes.
82
00:07:14,248 --> 00:07:15,034
Yes, Miss.
83
00:07:18,969 --> 00:07:23,159
<i>On a tree by a willow, a little tom-tit</i>.
84
00:07:23,685 --> 00:07:27,337
<i>Sang: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
85
00:07:27,860 --> 00:07:32,012
<i>And I said to him: dicky-bird,
why do you sit?</i>
86
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:36,024
<i>Singing: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
87
00:07:40,329 --> 00:07:41,550
Go on. Don't stop.
88
00:07:41,803 --> 00:07:45,343
Who are you? What are you doing here?
- Listening .. very nice too.
89
00:07:46,281 --> 00:07:48,810
What do you want?
- Ask me in and I'll tell you.
90
00:07:52,312 --> 00:07:55,617
Anyway young man, you may
come in .. but mind your manners.
91
00:07:56,854 --> 00:07:57,794
Alright, Miss.
92
00:08:06,770 --> 00:08:09,470
Isn't this where Miss Ellen Creed lives?
- Yes, she lives here.
93
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:12,146
What do you wish to see her about?
- It's a personal matter.
94
00:08:13,315 --> 00:08:15,156
She's my aunt. I'm Albert Feather.
95
00:08:15,372 --> 00:08:17,189
Your aunt?
- Right.
96
00:08:17,842 --> 00:08:20,039
Her mother was my stepfather's
uncle's second wife.
97
00:08:22,067 --> 00:08:24,058
And where do you come from?
- Gravesend.
98
00:08:24,649 --> 00:08:26,422
I .. I work in a bank there.
99
00:08:26,875 --> 00:08:28,891
It's a very long walk.
Hadn't you better sit down?
100
00:08:29,598 --> 00:08:30,640
Thank you.
101
00:08:33,063 --> 00:08:34,628
I'm afraid it's all been for nothing.
102
00:08:34,844 --> 00:08:37,420
Your aunt Ellen has gone to
London on some business for me.
103
00:08:38,218 --> 00:08:39,462
How long will she be away?
104
00:08:39,790 --> 00:08:41,215
A few days.
- A few?
105
00:08:43,071 --> 00:08:44,665
Blimey. That will be too late.
106
00:08:45,843 --> 00:08:47,270
Is there anything I can do?
107
00:08:47,764 --> 00:08:51,327
I'm Miss Fiske. Your aunt has been
working here as a housekeeper/companion.
108
00:08:52,049 --> 00:08:54,325
I didn't know.
I haven't seen her for five years.
109
00:08:56,066 --> 00:08:57,102
Can I help?
110
00:08:59,294 --> 00:09:00,176
I wonder.
111
00:09:00,570 --> 00:09:01,642
What's the trouble?
112
00:09:02,394 --> 00:09:03,435
Or is it trouble?
113
00:09:04,397 --> 00:09:07,440
It's trouble right enough.
I hardly like to tell you.
114
00:09:08,163 --> 00:09:09,437
Oh, I see.
115
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:11,115
What's the amount?
116
00:09:12,388 --> 00:09:14,291
Twelve pounds.
- How much?
117
00:09:14,952 --> 00:09:17,446
Twelve pounds.
- My goodness. That's a lot of money.
118
00:09:17,662 --> 00:09:19,564
I know. What's worse,
I must have it by tonight.
119
00:09:19,937 --> 00:09:21,177
I'm short at the bank.
120
00:09:21,937 --> 00:09:24,425
It means jail if I can't put it back
before the cashier checks up.
121
00:09:25,063 --> 00:09:27,092
Gambling?
- No. A girl.
122
00:09:28,525 --> 00:09:29,814
Are you engaged to her?
123
00:09:30,198 --> 00:09:31,426
No. She's an actress.
124
00:09:32,294 --> 00:09:34,143
She was in a travelling
company in Gravesend.
125
00:09:34,463 --> 00:09:36,933
What? At the Old Grand?
126
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:39,551
You know it?
- I played there.
127
00:09:40,084 --> 00:09:41,113
Years ago.
128
00:09:41,968 --> 00:09:43,041
You were an actress?
129
00:09:43,648 --> 00:09:45,054
Front row of the chorus.
130
00:09:45,889 --> 00:09:47,868
Fourth from the right.
131
00:09:48,396 --> 00:09:49,710
She was in the chorus too.
132
00:09:50,179 --> 00:09:51,820
I expect you took her out to supper.
133
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:54,542
Then she persuaded you to
go round the shops with her.
134
00:09:55,486 --> 00:09:56,610
How did you know?
135
00:09:58,034 --> 00:09:59,272
'Imagination', my boy.
136
00:10:01,410 --> 00:10:03,427
Anyway, she's over the hills
now to some other town.
137
00:10:03,731 --> 00:10:05,583
And with some other fool.
The little cheat.
138
00:10:10,573 --> 00:10:13,436
Don't worry any more about it.
I'll give you the twelve pounds.
139
00:10:14,686 --> 00:10:15,719
You will?
140
00:10:16,204 --> 00:10:19,080
Perhaps I owe it to you .. in a sense.
141
00:10:20,452 --> 00:10:21,783
Or to some other fool.
142
00:10:22,564 --> 00:10:23,754
You're a life-saver.
143
00:10:24,208 --> 00:10:26,940
Now you just wait here. I'll just
run upstairs and get my keys.
144
00:10:31,814 --> 00:10:33,378
A pity there aren't more like you.
145
00:10:33,970 --> 00:10:35,850
That my, lad, is a matter of opinion.
146
00:10:38,268 --> 00:10:40,807
Do you mind if I tickle on your ivories?
- No, do.
147
00:10:41,403 --> 00:10:42,190
Thank you.
148
00:10:46,990 --> 00:10:50,944
<i>It's the same the whole world over</i>.
149
00:10:52,269 --> 00:10:53,102
<i>It's</i> ..
150
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,183
<i>It's the poor what gets the blame</i>.
151
00:11:04,394 --> 00:11:08,374
<i>While the rich has all the pleasures</i>.
152
00:11:09,117 --> 00:11:12,780
<i>Now, ain't that the blinking shame</i>.
153
00:11:19,442 --> 00:11:20,183
Hello.
154
00:11:20,703 --> 00:11:21,996
You did scare me.
155
00:11:22,780 --> 00:11:24,167
I thought I was hearing things.
156
00:11:24,565 --> 00:11:25,460
You were.
157
00:11:25,819 --> 00:11:26,681
But I mean.
158
00:11:27,344 --> 00:11:28,245
A man's voice.
159
00:11:29,023 --> 00:11:30,360
So funny here.
160
00:11:32,142 --> 00:11:34,993
Doesn't the tide wash up
many male fish, my angel?
161
00:11:35,476 --> 00:11:38,023
A man is as scarce as
hansom cabs in these parts.
162
00:11:38,377 --> 00:11:40,049
That is, all but the old ones.
163
00:11:40,330 --> 00:11:43,699
The young ones go off to London or
some foreign parts as soon as they can.
164
00:11:44,405 --> 00:11:45,990
Are you going off to foreign parts?
165
00:11:46,537 --> 00:11:48,929
It depends.
- Depends on what?
166
00:11:49,541 --> 00:11:51,342
If anyone ever asks me.
167
00:11:52,252 --> 00:11:54,778
I shouldn't think with eyes like them
there would be any difficulty.
168
00:11:55,570 --> 00:11:56,438
Go on.
169
00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:59,288
What's your name?
- Lucy.
170
00:11:59,889 --> 00:12:02,390
What's yours?
- Albert. I'm Miss Creel's nephew.
171
00:12:02,791 --> 00:12:05,195
Funny .. I never heard about you.
172
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,223
That must be remedied.
173
00:12:09,483 --> 00:12:12,253
How about making the most of a male
fish now one has been washed up, eh?
174
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,043
What about a smacker?
- No, you mustn't.
175
00:12:15,952 --> 00:12:17,175
I don't know you.
176
00:12:17,650 --> 00:12:19,993
You needn't know people to kiss them.
- I do.
177
00:12:21,065 --> 00:12:22,481
Alright my girl. It's your loss.
178
00:12:23,722 --> 00:12:25,495
You think a lot of yourself, don't you?
179
00:12:36,494 --> 00:12:39,581
Has Lucy been entertaining you, Albert?
- Eh?
180
00:12:40,669 --> 00:12:42,777
She came in. We had a word or two.
181
00:12:43,910 --> 00:12:46,728
Nice looker, isn't she?
- I didn't notice.
182
00:12:47,252 --> 00:12:50,496
Come now, Albert.
Don't lose your sense of humour.
183
00:12:50,712 --> 00:12:53,147
I hope you're not one of those who
won't benefit from experience.
184
00:12:53,446 --> 00:12:57,232
Otherwise my twelve pounds
will be rather wasted, won't it.
185
00:12:58,006 --> 00:12:59,937
Don't you worry Miss Fiske.
I've had my lesson.
186
00:13:00,307 --> 00:13:01,631
I hope so.
187
00:13:05,189 --> 00:13:07,912
Now .. this is where we
keep our little hoard.
188
00:13:09,396 --> 00:13:11,055
It's an old bake-oven really.
189
00:13:12,795 --> 00:13:14,007
A proper tomb, isn't it?
190
00:13:15,288 --> 00:13:16,161
What's that?
191
00:13:16,603 --> 00:13:18,678
This is what they used to
pull the loaves out with.
192
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:24,941
Of course, we don't use it as a
bake-oven. Hasn't been used in years.
193
00:13:30,894 --> 00:13:31,880
Now then.
194
00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:34,726
Twelve pounds, I think you said.
195
00:13:35,604 --> 00:13:37,505
You couldn't make if fifteen?
- No, I couldn't.
196
00:13:37,721 --> 00:13:38,593
You couldn't?
197
00:13:40,918 --> 00:13:42,648
Do I give you an I.O.U.?
198
00:13:43,001 --> 00:13:44,040
No thank you.
199
00:13:44,453 --> 00:13:45,721
This isn't a loan.
200
00:13:46,087 --> 00:13:49,548
I shouldn't like you to incur the
remorse of not paying it back.
201
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:51,267
You are a daisy.
202
00:13:53,929 --> 00:13:55,680
Very prettily done, Albert.
203
00:14:00,308 --> 00:14:02,327
Now, let's forget all about it.
204
00:14:04,460 --> 00:14:06,870
If you came next week, you'd have
found three of your aunts here.
205
00:14:07,162 --> 00:14:09,049
Ellen is bringing her
sisters back from London.
206
00:14:09,406 --> 00:14:11,513
What, the potty ones?
- Potty?
207
00:14:11,729 --> 00:14:13,188
Queer as mice in a cage.
208
00:14:14,466 --> 00:14:16,775
They're quite harmless.
Especially when aunt Ellen's around.
209
00:14:17,257 --> 00:14:20,141
For comfort, they're coming
to stay here for a few days.
210
00:14:20,646 --> 00:14:23,031
They seem to mean quite a
great deal to your aunt Ellen.
211
00:14:23,247 --> 00:14:24,573
Oh, they would.
212
00:14:25,219 --> 00:14:27,164
She's looked after them
since she was a kid.
213
00:14:27,426 --> 00:14:30,676
She's watched over them like they were
a couple of perishing babes-in-arms.
214
00:14:31,397 --> 00:14:34,292
I think that's very commendable of her.
- Perhaps, but ..
215
00:14:34,796 --> 00:14:36,355
Think of all the fun she's missing.
216
00:14:37,398 --> 00:14:40,282
What, for example?
- You know.
217
00:14:41,511 --> 00:14:42,582
I see.
218
00:14:43,201 --> 00:14:46,094
I have to be toddling along.
I'll pay you back as soon as I can.
219
00:14:51,506 --> 00:14:54,128
I'd appreciate if you don't mention
our little transaction to aunt Ellen.
220
00:14:54,344 --> 00:14:55,709
Very well. If you like.
221
00:14:56,156 --> 00:14:57,446
How about .. whatsername?
222
00:14:57,987 --> 00:15:00,717
Lucy? Oh she won't say anything.
I'll take care of that.
223
00:15:01,147 --> 00:15:01,848
Thanks.
224
00:15:04,128 --> 00:15:05,104
So long my lady.
225
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,428
And again from the heart. I'll never
forget your kindness as long as I live.
226
00:15:10,954 --> 00:15:12,887
I hope you live a great
deal longer than that.
227
00:15:41,690 --> 00:15:45,882
Isn't it funny, Ellen? You can't see
the wind and you can't touch it.
228
00:15:46,164 --> 00:15:47,202
But it's there.
229
00:15:48,220 --> 00:15:51,549
I think you'd better have this round
you, dear. It's getting quite chilly.
230
00:15:52,323 --> 00:15:54,061
Listen .. what's that?
231
00:15:54,324 --> 00:15:56,455
Those are The Priory bells, dear.
From over the marshes.
232
00:15:56,671 --> 00:15:58,875
Oh .. I shan't like that.
233
00:16:00,388 --> 00:16:03,269
She hates bells.
- Especially church bells.
234
00:16:03,959 --> 00:16:06,415
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong.
235
00:16:06,823 --> 00:16:08,452
Aren't the marshes pretty.
236
00:16:09,396 --> 00:16:11,378
The grass is too long and untidy.
237
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,566
If I had a knife and a bit of string,
I'd cut it and tie it up in bundles.
238
00:16:18,823 --> 00:16:21,809
Are there any sheep here on the marshes?
- Yes, Miss.
239
00:16:22,119 --> 00:16:25,040
I think sheep are so clever to
chew their cud the way they do.
240
00:16:25,490 --> 00:16:26,918
It's very difficult.
241
00:16:27,875 --> 00:16:29,030
I've tried.
242
00:16:31,415 --> 00:16:34,749
You ought to be a sailor, Miss.
They're always chewing tobacco.
243
00:16:35,584 --> 00:16:37,415
The man I was to marry was a sailor.
244
00:16:38,195 --> 00:16:39,482
He gave me this.
245
00:16:40,242 --> 00:16:42,105
It's all I have to remember him by.
246
00:16:43,219 --> 00:16:44,631
He was wrecked at sea.
247
00:16:46,036 --> 00:16:47,692
They were all drowned.
248
00:16:48,609 --> 00:16:50,781
It must have been a bit of
sadness for you, Missy.
249
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,617
Oh no. I've quite forgotten
what he looked like.
250
00:16:53,867 --> 00:16:58,114
I saw a drowned man once. They took
him out of the Thames. He was green.
251
00:16:59,726 --> 00:17:00,800
Frogs.
252
00:17:01,614 --> 00:17:03,598
There must be lots of frogs.
253
00:17:04,872 --> 00:17:07,194
We used to have such
fun with them at home.
254
00:17:07,942 --> 00:17:11,767
We used to put them on the dining-table
and make them jump in the marmalade pot.
255
00:17:24,590 --> 00:17:27,124
Look. There's a bird's nest.
- So there is.
256
00:17:27,425 --> 00:17:29,585
It must be last summer's.
- I should like to have that.
257
00:17:29,801 --> 00:17:30,956
Bates, stop please.
258
00:17:33,961 --> 00:17:35,709
Oh .. I have it.
259
00:17:37,576 --> 00:17:40,244
Isn't it beautiful?
- Oh dear, it's all cobwebby.
260
00:17:41,088 --> 00:17:43,437
And it has a horrid smell.
- It mustn't be wasted.
261
00:17:43,773 --> 00:17:46,676
I shall save it until next year
and then I'll put it back again.
262
00:17:47,792 --> 00:17:49,568
Who knows where we'll be next year?
263
00:17:50,919 --> 00:17:53,493
Not in London anyway. You promised that.
264
00:17:54,646 --> 00:17:56,807
Yes, I promised that.
- Look.
265
00:17:59,651 --> 00:18:02,019
Louisa .. how did that happen?
266
00:18:02,290 --> 00:18:03,334
She did it.
- Who?
267
00:18:03,721 --> 00:18:04,985
That woman in London.
268
00:18:05,980 --> 00:18:08,599
She didn't give us enough food either.
- 'Discipline' she said.
269
00:18:09,276 --> 00:18:11,196
Louisa used to cry all night.
270
00:18:11,605 --> 00:18:13,863
I didn't. She couldn't discipline me.
271
00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:17,371
We'll be alright here
though with Miss Fiske.
272
00:18:17,911 --> 00:18:18,927
She won't beat us.
273
00:18:20,371 --> 00:18:22,086
No darling, she won't beat you.
274
00:18:23,299 --> 00:18:24,774
No-one will again. Ever.
275
00:18:35,203 --> 00:18:38,132
Now remember what I told you both.
You're not to talk too much.
276
00:18:38,505 --> 00:18:40,175
Wait until Miss Fiske knows you better.
277
00:18:40,391 --> 00:18:42,433
How can she get to know
us better if we don't talk?
278
00:18:43,833 --> 00:18:45,955
Come along dear.
Bates, get the luggage, will you.
279
00:18:46,171 --> 00:18:47,147
Yes, ma'am.
280
00:18:55,788 --> 00:18:57,441
They look harmless.
- What, Miss?
281
00:18:58,044 --> 00:19:00,065
Never mind. Go and put the kettle on.
- Yes, Miss.
282
00:19:07,201 --> 00:19:09,332
Well, here we are.
- I'm glad.
283
00:19:09,821 --> 00:19:12,750
Miss Fiske .. my sister
Emily, my sister Louisa.
284
00:19:13,012 --> 00:19:15,614
How do you do, Emily?
- We're very glad to be here.
285
00:19:16,355 --> 00:19:18,625
Louisa.
- I don't like people to touch me.
286
00:19:20,092 --> 00:19:22,203
I'm afraid Miss Fiske will
think you're very rude.
287
00:19:22,637 --> 00:19:25,893
They're rather tired, poor dears.
- I never get tired.
288
00:19:26,246 --> 00:19:28,424
I sometimes walk about
the house all night.
289
00:19:29,354 --> 00:19:32,358
Do you indeed?
- No, of course she doesn't, Miss Fiske.
290
00:19:35,582 --> 00:19:37,090
What beautiful furniture.
291
00:19:37,766 --> 00:19:40,401
Just like we used to have
before we lost all our money.
292
00:19:40,705 --> 00:19:44,104
Some of these <i>are </i>our things, dear.
Miss Fiske bought them at my Curio Shop.
293
00:19:44,499 --> 00:19:45,716
I want my tea.
294
00:19:45,982 --> 00:19:49,687
Emily, see .. here's the
grand champ himself.
295
00:19:50,198 --> 00:19:52,303
Remember when father bought him for us?
296
00:19:52,874 --> 00:19:54,913
I wonder if his head still nods.
297
00:19:55,230 --> 00:19:57,850
Ding-dong, ding-dong ..
- Louisa, dear.
298
00:19:58,188 --> 00:20:00,094
Bates, be careful.
You'll scratch the furniture.
299
00:20:00,329 --> 00:20:01,719
Very good, ma'am.
300
00:20:07,149 --> 00:20:09,201
I must say you've brought
enough luggage with you.
301
00:20:09,549 --> 00:20:11,220
We've brought everything.
- Everything?
302
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,760
We had to.
- Why?
303
00:20:13,089 --> 00:20:14,453
When they sent for the police.
304
00:20:14,787 --> 00:20:17,483
Now, my dears. I'm sure all this
can't possibly interest Miss Fiske.
305
00:20:17,819 --> 00:20:19,779
I think we should go up
and rest a bit before tea.
306
00:20:20,125 --> 00:20:22,023
Whatever you say, Ellen.
- Come along, Emily.
307
00:20:22,239 --> 00:20:24,948
That smelly train was very dirty.
308
00:20:25,188 --> 00:20:28,708
She's always fussing about the dirt.
I hope you keep things tidy here.
309
00:20:28,924 --> 00:20:32,483
Cleanliness is next to
Godliness .. don't you agree?
310
00:20:33,018 --> 00:20:35,985
Well .. I'm quite clean, I believe.
311
00:20:36,652 --> 00:20:39,005
But I don't know that
I'm particularly Godly.
312
00:20:39,668 --> 00:20:41,267
I thought you were a Roman.
313
00:20:41,837 --> 00:20:42,824
Isn't that yours?
314
00:20:43,077 --> 00:20:45,458
Miss Fiske is a Roman, dear.
And a very devoted one.
315
00:20:45,929 --> 00:20:47,614
Come along Louisa, Emily.
316
00:20:47,957 --> 00:20:50,102
Father, didn't approve of Romans.
317
00:20:52,032 --> 00:20:53,290
And neither do I.
318
00:21:13,724 --> 00:21:16,116
I expect it's one of those boobies.
319
00:21:16,588 --> 00:21:20,641
Miss Emily was drawing cat's faces on
brown paper yesterday when you were out.
320
00:21:21,138 --> 00:21:23,357
I can't stand it. I can't stand it.
321
00:21:23,721 --> 00:21:26,634
My lovely paisley shawl. It's ruined.
322
00:21:27,927 --> 00:21:31,189
You'd better get some vinegar and see
if you can do something about this spot.
323
00:21:31,443 --> 00:21:32,256
Yes, Miss.
324
00:21:32,810 --> 00:21:35,900
I'm utterly exhausted clearing
up after their messes.
325
00:21:36,172 --> 00:21:38,204
I don't wonder, Miss. So am I.
326
00:21:38,529 --> 00:21:42,030
And you should see their
bedroom. It's like a goat's-pen.
327
00:21:42,483 --> 00:21:45,783
I know it. If it isn't one
thing, it's another.
328
00:21:46,153 --> 00:21:49,633
For the last six weeks were like living
in the middle of Piccadilly Circus.
329
00:21:50,566 --> 00:21:52,478
My heart won't stand it.
330
00:21:53,336 --> 00:21:55,144
Go and get my smelling salts.
331
00:21:56,829 --> 00:21:59,720
Where are they, Miss?
- In the usual place, of course.
332
00:21:59,984 --> 00:22:01,928
Nothing is in the usual
place these days.
333
00:22:02,169 --> 00:22:02,822
No.
334
00:22:03,664 --> 00:22:05,532
Well then, get me a cold compress.
335
00:22:06,303 --> 00:22:09,597
I shall lie down and
take a nap while I can.
336
00:22:13,641 --> 00:22:14,627
Miss Fiske.
337
00:22:14,950 --> 00:22:18,862
Yes, what is it? What is it?
- Will they be staying much longer?
338
00:22:20,743 --> 00:22:23,049
They'll have my invitation
to go this evening.
339
00:22:26,420 --> 00:22:30,273
Oh dear, I wonder where Emily has
gone to. She ought to be back by now.
340
00:22:31,513 --> 00:22:33,331
I can't see her anywhere.
341
00:22:33,776 --> 00:22:37,997
I wish I were brave like Emily.
I should like to take long walks too.
342
00:22:38,404 --> 00:22:40,016
And pick up things.
343
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,248
Perhaps I shall be able to
after we've stayed here longer.
344
00:22:44,902 --> 00:22:46,145
I'm sure you will, dear.
345
00:22:46,442 --> 00:22:48,530
I shall be staying here, shan't I?
346
00:22:49,544 --> 00:22:52,354
You're not planning to send us away?
Are you, Ellen?
347
00:22:53,227 --> 00:22:54,739
No dear. Of course I'm not.
348
00:22:55,199 --> 00:22:57,189
This is what you've always promised us.
349
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,885
A little place in the country
where we can always be safe.
350
00:23:01,424 --> 00:23:04,604
Yes .. it's the one thing
I've been working for.
351
00:23:05,415 --> 00:23:07,236
Ever since we had to
give up the old house.
352
00:23:07,574 --> 00:23:10,567
Naturally, Estuary House
could never be like that.
353
00:23:11,114 --> 00:23:12,511
But it's nice enough.
354
00:23:12,898 --> 00:23:14,774
Yes, and Miss Fiske has
been very kind to us.
355
00:23:15,471 --> 00:23:18,924
Miss Fiske .. may I tell
you something, Ellen?
356
00:23:19,743 --> 00:23:21,102
Just one of my secrets.
357
00:23:21,866 --> 00:23:22,931
Of course you may.
358
00:23:23,717 --> 00:23:25,589
I don't like Miss Fiske.
359
00:23:27,025 --> 00:23:30,951
Couldn't we send her away? Then it
would <i>really</i> be just the three of us.
360
00:23:31,260 --> 00:23:33,656
But I keep telling you,
Louisa. It's <i>her</i> house.
361
00:23:34,059 --> 00:23:36,189
Oh no. You'll never
make me believe that.
362
00:23:36,987 --> 00:23:38,457
All out lovely things are there.
363
00:23:39,795 --> 00:23:43,336
We'll never have to go away, will we?
- No, darling. I promised you.
364
00:23:44,163 --> 00:23:44,998
Never.
365
00:23:46,020 --> 00:23:48,323
I think Miss Fiske wants us to go.
366
00:23:49,091 --> 00:23:50,341
Both of us.
367
00:23:50,928 --> 00:23:52,812
I'm sure I can persuade
her to let you stay.
368
00:23:54,613 --> 00:23:56,349
Oh dear, I do wish Emily would come.
369
00:23:56,602 --> 00:23:58,912
Maybe we'd better get along
home in case she's waiting there.
370
00:23:59,701 --> 00:24:00,838
Come along, dear.
371
00:24:01,945 --> 00:24:04,810
I don't want her upsetting Miss Fiske
again. She can be very tactless.
372
00:24:23,370 --> 00:24:25,220
Here girl, take this.
373
00:24:25,436 --> 00:24:27,267
Thanks a lot. What are we to do with it?
374
00:24:27,506 --> 00:24:29,709
Put it in the woodshed,
where it belongs.
375
00:24:29,962 --> 00:24:33,268
The woodshed is full. I won't have
you cluttering up my kitchen with it.
376
00:24:33,731 --> 00:24:35,093
Very well then.
377
00:24:44,580 --> 00:24:46,788
Oh dear ..
378
00:24:48,844 --> 00:24:50,225
What is it now?
379
00:24:54,808 --> 00:24:56,535
Wait until Miss Fiske sees this.
380
00:24:57,306 --> 00:24:59,938
What's the matter now? My goodness.
381
00:25:00,154 --> 00:25:02,116
More wood?
- Yes. Miss Emily dumped it.
382
00:25:02,602 --> 00:25:04,986
Never mind. You get out of here.
- I got a nice lot today.
383
00:25:05,672 --> 00:25:08,305
What are you thinking of? Making a
mess with it all over my clean floor.
384
00:25:08,521 --> 00:25:10,394
The girl wouldn't let
me put it in the kitchen.
385
00:25:10,671 --> 00:25:13,708
She's quite right. I told you to stop
bringing in wood. We have enough.
386
00:25:13,924 --> 00:25:16,497
I must tidy up the river
banks. I hate waste.
387
00:25:16,713 --> 00:25:18,995
And I hate litter. Now you
clear it away immediately.
388
00:25:19,239 --> 00:25:21,201
I won't be ordered to do things.
389
00:25:22,767 --> 00:25:24,118
This is too much.
390
00:25:24,496 --> 00:25:26,293
My best polished table.
391
00:25:26,789 --> 00:25:28,933
Look how these shells have scratched it.
392
00:25:29,269 --> 00:25:31,965
What's this? Wet seaweed and a horrid ..
393
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,604
Dead bird.
394
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,561
Leave my bird alone. And my shells.
395
00:25:37,060 --> 00:25:38,248
They are my treasures.
396
00:25:38,610 --> 00:25:41,515
We don't understand expensive things.
It's so long since we had any.
397
00:25:41,981 --> 00:25:44,044
I know it's very simple of me.
But I am simple.
398
00:25:44,260 --> 00:25:46,087
Emily .. what's wrong?
399
00:25:46,309 --> 00:25:48,986
I hate her. She threw my
bird into the fireplace.
400
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,507
Emily, control yourself.
401
00:25:50,723 --> 00:25:52,603
See what she's done
with her ridiculous shells.
402
00:25:52,885 --> 00:25:54,816
It will take a month's
polishing to put it right.
403
00:25:55,032 --> 00:25:56,708
I'm sorry Miss Fiske, I'll put it right.
404
00:25:57,276 --> 00:26:00,394
No Ellen, you shan't. I'll do it.
Let me do it. I'll polish it.
405
00:26:00,610 --> 00:26:02,434
Every day, all through the winter.
406
00:26:02,769 --> 00:26:05,511
Sweet of you, Louisa. But I doubt
you'll be here through the winter.
407
00:26:05,969 --> 00:26:07,630
But we shall. Ellen said so.
408
00:26:07,953 --> 00:26:10,046
You're mistaken, Louisa.
I said nothing of the kind.
409
00:26:10,262 --> 00:26:12,701
But you did. You promised.
- Louisa, will you be quiet.
410
00:26:16,013 --> 00:26:18,157
My heavens. This is the last straw.
411
00:26:18,802 --> 00:26:20,996
You'll drive me as crazy as yourselves.
412
00:26:24,448 --> 00:26:25,406
Oh, Ellen.
413
00:26:27,312 --> 00:26:28,535
Miss Fiske.
414
00:26:29,134 --> 00:26:31,588
I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to say that, but ..
415
00:26:32,377 --> 00:26:34,890
I've had about as much as I can endure.
416
00:26:36,396 --> 00:26:39,219
Emily .. take Louisa upstairs.
417
00:26:39,889 --> 00:26:41,482
Now, stop your crying, Louisa.
418
00:26:42,358 --> 00:26:44,045
There's nothing to cry about.
419
00:26:45,286 --> 00:26:46,141
Do you hear?
420
00:26:46,743 --> 00:26:48,817
Go upstairs. Both of you.
421
00:26:51,981 --> 00:26:53,380
And close the door behind you.
422
00:26:58,271 --> 00:27:00,113
That was a cruel thing to say.
423
00:27:00,788 --> 00:27:01,944
But it's true.
424
00:27:02,778 --> 00:27:06,123
One with her telescope and the other
with her mania for collecting things.
425
00:27:06,703 --> 00:27:08,149
They are insane, both of them.
426
00:27:08,609 --> 00:27:10,479
Please don't use that word again.
427
00:27:11,078 --> 00:27:12,310
Emily was right.
428
00:27:12,956 --> 00:27:14,664
But then people who
have all they want ..
429
00:27:15,013 --> 00:27:17,979
Never understand how much the smallest
things mean to those who haven't.
430
00:27:18,345 --> 00:27:19,046
Really?
431
00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:21,362
I don't think this calls for a sermon.
432
00:27:22,276 --> 00:27:24,365
I've been more than generous
to you and your sisters.
433
00:27:24,581 --> 00:27:26,750
People have always been very
generous to you, Miss Fiske.
434
00:27:26,966 --> 00:27:29,126
My sisters and I have never had
friends to send <i>us</i> money.
435
00:27:29,379 --> 00:27:31,480
That's hardly my fault, is it.
- No.
436
00:27:31,793 --> 00:27:35,189
Don't you feel you have a responsibility
to those less fortunate than you?
437
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,615
I don't know what you're talking about.
438
00:27:38,441 --> 00:27:40,476
Life hasn't been very
kind to us, Miss Fiske.
439
00:27:40,817 --> 00:27:42,798
Every penny we've ever
had, I've had to work for.
440
00:27:43,014 --> 00:27:45,706
Every penny. But at least
we have our self-respect.
441
00:27:47,024 --> 00:27:48,654
How dare you.
442
00:27:49,634 --> 00:27:51,866
How dare you criticise my life.
443
00:27:52,216 --> 00:27:55,606
Do you think I don't envy women who
have respectability? Who have families?
444
00:27:55,822 --> 00:27:58,890
Who aren't just forgotten and pensioned
off when they lose their stock-in-trade.
445
00:27:59,208 --> 00:28:01,196
Then you can't blame me
for fighting for my family.
446
00:28:01,412 --> 00:28:03,466
Very admirable, but it's
your family and not mine.
447
00:28:03,941 --> 00:28:05,065
Let me tell you this.
448
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,935
Your sisters, insane or not,
have overstayed their welcome.
449
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,611
I invite them here for two days
and they've stayed six weeks.
450
00:28:10,827 --> 00:28:13,450
Or perhaps you were planning
to keep them here forever?
451
00:28:14,485 --> 00:28:16,324
Well .. I had thought ..
452
00:28:17,124 --> 00:28:19,622
That I might pay something out
of my wages for their keep.
453
00:28:19,895 --> 00:28:22,261
Ellen, you're a hypocrite.
You're worse, you're a cheat.
454
00:28:22,937 --> 00:28:26,279
You meant to foist your wretched
brood on me and bleed me white.
455
00:28:26,626 --> 00:28:30,814
And when I saw through your scheme, you
had the insolence to turn and abuse me.
456
00:28:31,124 --> 00:28:32,701
But you've chosen the wrong woman.
457
00:28:32,917 --> 00:28:35,255
You get those sisters of yours
out of this house at once.
458
00:28:35,604 --> 00:28:37,644
And take a month's wages
and go with them.
459
00:28:39,743 --> 00:28:40,815
Miss Fiske.
460
00:29:08,710 --> 00:29:11,039
Ellen .. why aren't you in bed?
461
00:29:11,451 --> 00:29:13,179
Why are you prowling about at this hour?
462
00:29:13,761 --> 00:29:16,786
Miss Fiske, may I come in?
I must talk with you, please.
463
00:29:17,357 --> 00:29:18,516
Well, mind your tongue.
464
00:29:18,764 --> 00:29:20,987
We don't want any more of
this afternoon's unpleasantness.
465
00:29:23,612 --> 00:29:24,936
I'm sorry about that.
466
00:29:25,715 --> 00:29:27,833
I was wrong. I shouldn't
have spoken to you as I did.
467
00:29:28,791 --> 00:29:30,462
No .. you shouldn't.
468
00:29:37,617 --> 00:29:38,744
Miss Fiske.
469
00:29:39,702 --> 00:29:42,303
Do you remember the letter that arrived
the day I went away to London?
470
00:29:42,556 --> 00:29:46,058
Yes .. what about it?
- It was from their landlady.
471
00:29:46,613 --> 00:29:47,747
Emily and Louisa.
472
00:29:48,187 --> 00:29:49,552
Had been a little difficult.
473
00:29:49,893 --> 00:29:51,137
She'd sent for the police.
474
00:29:52,329 --> 00:29:54,369
They were going to be
put away in an institution.
475
00:29:54,764 --> 00:29:57,034
The landlady was quite right.
That's where they belong.
476
00:29:57,393 --> 00:30:00,433
But Miss Fiske, you don't
understand. They're my sisters.
477
00:30:00,820 --> 00:30:02,707
You don't know what I've
gone through for them.
478
00:30:02,923 --> 00:30:05,036
They've no-one else in the
world to turn to but me.
479
00:30:05,740 --> 00:30:08,948
I pleaded with the police to release
them. They agreed on one condition.
480
00:30:09,533 --> 00:30:11,458
That they were to remain
in my personal care.
481
00:30:11,740 --> 00:30:13,336
That I was to be responsible for them.
482
00:30:13,787 --> 00:30:15,440
And if there were any more complaints.
483
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,522
That they were to be put away forever.
That's why I can't send them away.
484
00:30:19,825 --> 00:30:21,889
All this devotion is
very admirable, Ellen.
485
00:30:22,285 --> 00:30:24,471
But I fail to see how I can
help in any way at all.
486
00:30:24,801 --> 00:30:26,903
Oh but you can. You can, Miss Fiske.
487
00:30:27,618 --> 00:30:29,823
I thought perhaps they
might use the attic upstairs.
488
00:30:30,162 --> 00:30:32,379
They'll stay there out of the
way where you don't see them.
489
00:30:32,716 --> 00:30:34,876
They could use the back stairs
when they come in and out.
490
00:30:35,129 --> 00:30:37,055
Ellen, what are you talking about?
491
00:30:37,271 --> 00:30:40,267
I promise they'll never come near you.
You'll never know they're in the house.
492
00:30:40,829 --> 00:30:43,797
I'll look after them myself.
I'll cook their meals for them.
493
00:30:44,387 --> 00:30:46,231
I promise they won't
be any more trouble.
494
00:30:46,913 --> 00:30:49,120
Miss Fiske, they must
be with me, they must.
495
00:30:49,439 --> 00:30:51,590
I'll pay for their keep.
I'll work for nothing.
496
00:30:51,834 --> 00:30:54,509
Please .. oh, please Miss Fiske.
497
00:30:54,829 --> 00:30:56,720
Ellen, have you quite
gone out of your mind?
498
00:30:57,064 --> 00:31:00,126
You must be blind if you can't realise
they'd always be getting in my way.
499
00:31:00,342 --> 00:31:02,612
You pack them off tomorrow.
- But, Miss Fiske. Won't ..?
500
00:31:02,828 --> 00:31:04,369
No Ellen, my mind is made up.
501
00:31:05,471 --> 00:31:09,239
If you want to, you can stay here a few
days until you've found a new situation.
502
00:31:10,018 --> 00:31:12,814
Now run along to bed. And make
certain they leave tomorrow.
503
00:31:14,132 --> 00:31:16,592
You wouldn't want me to be sending
for the police, would you?
504
00:31:18,682 --> 00:31:20,329
Goodnight Ellen. I'm tired.
505
00:31:24,230 --> 00:31:25,186
Goodnight.
506
00:31:48,528 --> 00:31:50,908
But you told her you were
going to send us away.
507
00:31:52,592 --> 00:31:54,344
I'm not going to send you away.
508
00:31:54,732 --> 00:31:56,620
We heard you. We were listening.
509
00:31:57,784 --> 00:31:59,386
Isn't she terrible, Ellen?
510
00:32:00,207 --> 00:32:01,536
She's wicked.
511
00:32:03,006 --> 00:32:04,907
I'm not going to send you away.
512
00:32:06,836 --> 00:32:07,678
Never.
513
00:32:08,554 --> 00:32:11,269
If you're not sending us away,
what are you going to do?
514
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,293
I don't know.
515
00:32:16,674 --> 00:32:17,831
I must think.
516
00:32:30,078 --> 00:32:32,550
I've always wanted
to explore an old castle.
517
00:32:32,971 --> 00:32:35,857
Will it have a dungeon do you think?
- They all have dungeons.
518
00:32:36,191 --> 00:32:36,978
With bats.
519
00:32:37,415 --> 00:32:39,138
No, dear. Bats are in belfries.
520
00:32:39,459 --> 00:32:43,180
There's sure to be secret passageways
and places where they'd hide things.
521
00:32:45,198 --> 00:32:46,346
Like that.
522
00:32:54,259 --> 00:32:58,372
Yes .. I'm sure Miss Fiske has lots
of exciting things hidden in there.
523
00:32:58,588 --> 00:33:00,212
Her jewels, I'm sure.
524
00:33:01,019 --> 00:33:04,181
I've looked in all her boxes and
haven't been able to find them.
525
00:33:04,718 --> 00:33:07,167
Are you both ready?
- Oh yes. Quite.
526
00:33:07,404 --> 00:33:10,004
I managed to pack all
the lunch into one bag.
527
00:33:10,660 --> 00:33:11,630
Mine.
528
00:33:12,914 --> 00:33:15,600
Come here and sit down.
I want to talk to you both.
529
00:33:25,193 --> 00:33:25,808
Now.
530
00:33:26,107 --> 00:33:28,868
I haven't told you the real reason why
you're being sent away for a whole day.
531
00:33:29,589 --> 00:33:32,633
The truth is I want to be entirely
alone with Miss Fiske for a few hours.
532
00:33:32,849 --> 00:33:34,817
Is that why you got rid of Lucy too?
533
00:33:35,131 --> 00:33:37,177
I didn't get rid of Lucy, Emily.
She had a toothache.
534
00:33:37,393 --> 00:33:40,293
Oh Ellen dear, you know that's
not true. She didn't want to go at all.
535
00:33:40,754 --> 00:33:42,833
I said she had a toothache, Louisa.
536
00:33:44,698 --> 00:33:45,628
Now listen.
537
00:33:46,220 --> 00:33:49,408
Last night, while you were both asleep,
I had a long talk with Miss Fiske.
538
00:33:50,131 --> 00:33:52,867
She's tired of the marshes
and wants to travel for a bit.
539
00:33:53,530 --> 00:33:55,633
I've persuaded her to
sell this house to me.
540
00:33:55,849 --> 00:33:58,210
Not really, Ellen?
- We haven't discussed price yet.
541
00:33:58,976 --> 00:34:02,422
That's why I must be alone with her, so
we can talk with nothing to distract us.
542
00:34:02,694 --> 00:34:05,355
She may want more than
you're prepared to pay.
543
00:34:07,101 --> 00:34:09,142
I'm prepared to pay
quite a big price, Emily.
544
00:34:09,569 --> 00:34:11,442
Oh, lovely, lovely, lovely.
545
00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:14,491
Oh Emily, aren't you excited?
- Louisa, be quiet.
546
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:17,415
Now, there's one more thing.
547
00:34:18,401 --> 00:34:19,716
The most important.
548
00:34:35,231 --> 00:34:36,722
You see this bible, both of you?
549
00:34:37,587 --> 00:34:39,899
I want you to swear on it.
By father's memory.
550
00:34:40,590 --> 00:34:43,550
That you'll never repeat a word of my
buying this house as long as you live.
551
00:34:45,940 --> 00:34:46,963
What do I say?
552
00:34:47,581 --> 00:34:48,963
Just say 'I swear'.
553
00:34:49,670 --> 00:34:51,113
Oh .. I swear.
554
00:34:51,554 --> 00:34:52,484
You too, Emily.
555
00:34:52,787 --> 00:34:54,831
I won't swear on the bible. It's wicked.
556
00:34:55,435 --> 00:34:56,571
If you don't Emily ..
557
00:34:56,869 --> 00:34:59,143
I shan't buy the house and I'll
send you both back to London.
558
00:34:59,426 --> 00:35:01,058
Oh Emily, be sensible.
559
00:35:01,660 --> 00:35:04,984
I don't like being made
to do things .. I promise.
560
00:35:05,604 --> 00:35:06,759
Now, remember.
561
00:35:07,527 --> 00:35:09,016
That's a sacred oath.
562
00:35:15,968 --> 00:35:18,162
Here's Bates. Hurry now.
There's no time to waste.
563
00:35:35,582 --> 00:35:38,805
Drive slowly Bates.
Please don't let them get cold.
564
00:35:39,425 --> 00:35:42,412
You can take your time. I shan't be
expecting you back before dusk.
565
00:35:42,815 --> 00:35:43,999
Very good, ma'am.
566
00:35:44,599 --> 00:35:47,698
Goodbye Ellen. I wish you could come.
- I wish you were coming too.
567
00:35:48,129 --> 00:35:49,432
Goodbye Ellen.
- Goodbye.
568
00:35:49,861 --> 00:35:50,855
Goodbye, dears.
569
00:35:51,341 --> 00:35:53,195
Have a good time.
- Thank you.
570
00:36:58,085 --> 00:36:59,246
I'm out of practice.
571
00:37:11,178 --> 00:37:14,210
To dear Louisa and dear Emily.
572
00:37:14,858 --> 00:37:16,359
May we never meet again.
573
00:37:22,767 --> 00:37:24,335
That is so good.
574
00:39:14,210 --> 00:39:16,013
[ Door knocks ]
575
00:39:20,175 --> 00:39:22,634
May we come in?
- Yes.
576
00:39:25,330 --> 00:39:28,536
I'd like to speak to Miss Ellen.
Unless Miss Fiske is back?
577
00:39:29,038 --> 00:39:32,096
No, she's still away. I'll fetch Ellen.
578
00:39:34,682 --> 00:39:36,292
We're making jam.
579
00:39:44,568 --> 00:39:45,883
Good evening.
580
00:39:46,963 --> 00:39:48,418
It isn't a very good one, is it?
581
00:39:48,747 --> 00:39:52,681
No, as a matter of fact it's not.
Cats and dogs.
582
00:39:55,747 --> 00:39:56,934
Good evening, Sisters.
583
00:39:57,318 --> 00:39:58,650
Sorry to keep you waiting.
584
00:39:58,866 --> 00:40:00,911
But we're in the middle of
putting up our quince jam.
585
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,087
Please don't apologise. I'm afraid
we've come on a begging errand.
586
00:40:04,550 --> 00:40:06,781
Our supplier of oil hasn't
arrived from Rochester.
587
00:40:07,225 --> 00:40:10,245
And the Reverend Mother wondered
if we might borrow a can until Sunday.
588
00:40:10,738 --> 00:40:12,225
Of course .. Lucy.
589
00:40:16,315 --> 00:40:17,179
Yes, Miss?
590
00:40:17,438 --> 00:40:19,874
Will you run out to the shed
and bring in a can of paraffin.
591
00:40:21,575 --> 00:40:22,653
Yes, Miss Ellen.
592
00:40:24,007 --> 00:40:25,588
Won't you sit down, Sisters?
593
00:40:50,207 --> 00:40:51,986
Hey. Shush ..
594
00:40:53,587 --> 00:40:54,636
You again.
595
00:40:55,191 --> 00:40:56,464
Bad pennies always turn up.
596
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,166
What are you doing here, hanging
about with the storm and all?
597
00:40:59,382 --> 00:41:01,834
I've a little business inside.
Had to ensure the coast was clear.
598
00:41:02,199 --> 00:41:03,901
What business?
- Listen, Lucky.
599
00:41:04,179 --> 00:41:05,963
Is Miss Fiske about?
- No, she's away.
600
00:41:06,198 --> 00:41:08,242
And my aunt Ellen?
- She's here right enough.
601
00:41:08,601 --> 00:41:11,306
And them two crazy sisters of hers.
- Does she know I've been here before?
602
00:41:11,776 --> 00:41:14,618
No. Mistress said not to say.
- Good. Get on with your work.
603
00:41:15,044 --> 00:41:17,096
I'll come in the front door
like a proper gentleman.
604
00:41:18,142 --> 00:41:20,067
Remember .. we don't know each other.
605
00:41:20,424 --> 00:41:22,135
Not that we shan't .. later.
606
00:41:22,483 --> 00:41:24,169
I'm very particular who I know.
607
00:41:30,205 --> 00:41:33,391
For a moment, when I saw the candles
burning, I thought Miss Fiske was back.
608
00:41:33,607 --> 00:41:35,165
Ellen's been lighting them lately.
609
00:41:35,381 --> 00:41:38,777
She thinks Miss Fiske would like her to.
She says it keeps her memory burning.
610
00:41:40,386 --> 00:41:42,024
When are you expecting her back?
611
00:41:42,607 --> 00:41:44,132
I really couldn't say, Sister.
612
00:41:44,649 --> 00:41:46,293
She hasn't written for over a fortnight.
613
00:41:46,601 --> 00:41:48,509
We were so surprised
to learn she'd gone.
614
00:41:48,986 --> 00:41:51,374
She hadn't mentioned she was
planning a journey anywhere.
615
00:41:51,718 --> 00:41:53,242
No. It was quite unexpected.
616
00:41:53,558 --> 00:41:56,143
She had a letter from some old
friends inviting her on a trip.
617
00:41:56,566 --> 00:41:58,438
As they were sailing
the very next morning.
618
00:41:58,858 --> 00:42:01,023
The Reverend Mother wonders
what to do about the rent.
619
00:42:01,426 --> 00:42:03,908
From the little 3-acre field
we hire from Miss Fiske.
620
00:42:04,610 --> 00:42:07,476
Well, I'm managing all her
affairs while she's away, Sister.
621
00:42:07,990 --> 00:42:10,527
If you send it to me, I'll forward
it when I get her next address.
622
00:42:10,929 --> 00:42:12,143
Here, Miss Ellen.
623
00:42:12,665 --> 00:42:14,460
Good evening, Sisters.
- Thank you.
624
00:42:14,676 --> 00:42:17,225
That seems heavy. Go with the
Sisters Lucy and give them a hand.
625
00:42:17,662 --> 00:42:20,237
That's very kind of you, Miss Ellen.
- We've been bother enough.
626
00:42:20,526 --> 00:42:23,279
I'll be glad to go. I'll get my cloak.
627
00:42:23,813 --> 00:42:27,025
I think you are so brave
going out in the dark. I ..
628
00:42:29,550 --> 00:42:31,983
I hate the dark .. it frightens me.
629
00:42:32,329 --> 00:42:33,522
It shouldn't, my dear.
630
00:42:33,962 --> 00:42:35,605
Don't you believe we're watched over?
631
00:42:35,929 --> 00:42:36,605
Yes.
632
00:42:36,916 --> 00:42:39,057
But I'm never quite sure
who is watching us.
633
00:42:40,248 --> 00:42:42,591
I'm quite ready.
- We'd better be going.
634
00:42:43,099 --> 00:42:45,775
Goodnight and thank you very much.
- Goodnight Sisters.
635
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:47,278
Goodnight.
636
00:42:49,166 --> 00:42:51,399
There dear, you carry the oil.
637
00:42:51,737 --> 00:42:53,833
And I'll hold the umbrella over us both.
638
00:42:55,061 --> 00:42:56,885
Goodnight again.
- Goodnight.
639
00:42:57,307 --> 00:42:58,265
Goodnight.
640
00:43:02,547 --> 00:43:04,002
I must get back to the jam.
641
00:43:09,740 --> 00:43:12,474
Ellen was unusually nice to
Sister Theresa, wasn't she.
642
00:43:12,982 --> 00:43:14,966
They were quite chatty together.
- Louisa.
643
00:43:15,572 --> 00:43:16,883
I think Ellen is changing.
644
00:43:17,727 --> 00:43:19,727
I hope she's not getting
in league with the nuns.
645
00:43:20,445 --> 00:43:21,260
Against us.
646
00:43:21,660 --> 00:43:24,500
Ellen would never do that.
- She's taken to lighting those candles.
647
00:43:26,228 --> 00:43:29,299
I think I'll blow them out.
- Ellen wouldn't like that.
648
00:43:37,250 --> 00:43:39,018
Why should she have
everything her own way?
649
00:43:45,983 --> 00:43:47,147
Emily.
650
00:43:47,882 --> 00:43:50,640
What have you done?
- Something I wanted to do.
651
00:43:53,975 --> 00:43:55,167
[ Door knocks ]
652
00:43:57,910 --> 00:44:02,446
Louisa .. answer the door dear. Sister
Theresa's probably forgotten something.
653
00:44:02,792 --> 00:44:04,069
[ Door knocks ]
654
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:15,529
Alright.
655
00:44:15,879 --> 00:44:17,664
Don't be like that. I won't eat you.
656
00:44:20,998 --> 00:44:22,181
Who are you?
657
00:44:24,238 --> 00:44:25,637
And what do you want?
658
00:44:28,407 --> 00:44:29,447
Dear aunt Ellen.
659
00:44:30,236 --> 00:44:31,460
After all these years.
660
00:44:33,102 --> 00:44:35,749
What a family reunion. I'm Albert.
Don't you remember me?
661
00:44:35,965 --> 00:44:36,876
Albert.
662
00:44:37,941 --> 00:44:40,363
Of course. Rose's boy.
- So it is.
663
00:44:40,644 --> 00:44:43,402
Fancy Albert being here.
- Where on earth did you come from?
664
00:44:43,771 --> 00:44:45,815
Gravesend .. on a duck's back.
665
00:44:46,335 --> 00:44:48,923
It's Albert right enough.
Always saying funny things.
666
00:44:49,151 --> 00:44:51,064
He's soaked through.
- Yes, so I see.
667
00:44:51,292 --> 00:44:53,195
Don't stand there dripping
all over my best rug.
668
00:44:53,411 --> 00:44:55,045
Go by the fire with your wet things.
669
00:44:55,353 --> 00:44:58,190
That's more like my loving auntie.
My very distant auntie.
670
00:44:59,169 --> 00:45:03,139
Now we'll have fun with Albert here.
I'll go and fetch him a dressing gown.
671
00:45:03,573 --> 00:45:06,231
And I'll get him a towel.
So he can dry himself.
672
00:45:16,093 --> 00:45:17,967
Blimey, if that don't half
make my mouth water.
673
00:45:18,244 --> 00:45:21,154
Some nice, tasty grub and something
warm to chase it down the hatchway.
674
00:45:21,586 --> 00:45:22,690
That's what I need.
675
00:45:23,023 --> 00:45:25,422
Albert, tell me. Why have you come here?
676
00:45:26,169 --> 00:45:28,530
That can wait until I'm dry outside.
And not so dry, in.
677
00:45:28,779 --> 00:45:30,060
There you are, Albert.
678
00:45:30,552 --> 00:45:31,975
Thanks, me old cup of tea.
679
00:45:32,431 --> 00:45:34,816
Emily, slice off some beef,
and put out the bread and cheese.
680
00:45:35,830 --> 00:45:38,158
A pint of half-and-half would
be the proper ticket with that.
681
00:45:38,374 --> 00:45:39,680
This isn't a Tavern, Albert.
682
00:45:40,391 --> 00:45:43,061
How about a spot of brandy to
take the damp out of my throat?
683
00:45:43,426 --> 00:45:45,228
I'm unsure there's any
left in the decanter.
684
00:45:45,444 --> 00:45:46,717
There's some in the cellar.
685
00:45:47,395 --> 00:45:49,813
A cellar, eh? Your Ladyship,
allow me to lead you to it.
686
00:45:50,487 --> 00:45:52,705
No .. I'll go myself.
687
00:45:54,020 --> 00:45:55,499
Make way for the Duchess.
688
00:46:27,321 --> 00:46:29,640
Blimey. The view from here
is the best on the marshes.
689
00:46:30,542 --> 00:46:33,481
I say auntie, is this all yours?
- No, of course not.
690
00:46:34,251 --> 00:46:36,166
It belongs to the woman
I work for. Miss Fiske.
691
00:46:37,011 --> 00:46:39,510
Where is she, might I ask?
- Away.
692
00:46:41,683 --> 00:46:44,148
Five years, auntie old girl.
- What of it?
693
00:46:44,453 --> 00:46:46,646
You've changed.
- You've not.
694
00:46:47,504 --> 00:46:50,373
The same big blue eyes though.
You're still Lady touch-me-not.
695
00:46:50,847 --> 00:46:53,265
Let go of me. I'm in no
mood for your foolishness.
696
00:46:54,208 --> 00:46:55,739
The way you seem to be all keyed up.
697
00:46:55,999 --> 00:46:58,072
A little of my foolishness
just might do you no harm.
698
00:47:01,721 --> 00:47:02,961
Here's your food, Albert.
699
00:47:04,313 --> 00:47:07,205
Run up to bed, both of you.
I want to talk with Albert.
700
00:47:07,421 --> 00:47:10,580
But we don't want to go to bed.
- No, we want to stay to talk to Albert.
701
00:47:10,905 --> 00:47:13,857
Go on, do as aunt Ellen says. Toddle off
to bye-byes like good little girls.
702
00:47:14,125 --> 00:47:16,821
Here, wait. Why don't you wet your
whistles. It will make you sleep tight.
703
00:47:17,178 --> 00:47:19,055
Sleep tight. Albert, you are silly.
704
00:47:19,553 --> 00:47:22,004
I don't think they'd better, Albert.
- What's the harm?
705
00:47:22,483 --> 00:47:24,708
You don't have a long-lost
nephew every night of the week.
706
00:47:25,121 --> 00:47:26,369
Fetch some glasses, Emily.
707
00:47:26,585 --> 00:47:29,797
Very well, but not too much now.
- Just a tiny thimbleful for me, Albert.
708
00:47:31,252 --> 00:47:32,688
How about you, aunt Ellen?
709
00:47:33,327 --> 00:47:34,716
Nothing for me, thank you.
710
00:47:37,757 --> 00:47:40,199
Now, my Siamese twins.
What about a toast, eh?
711
00:47:40,523 --> 00:47:41,905
I don't know any.
712
00:47:42,140 --> 00:47:44,008
In that case, here's to absent friends.
713
00:47:44,328 --> 00:47:45,464
Absent friends.
714
00:47:46,046 --> 00:47:48,543
Ellen, I suppose we
should think of Miss Fiske.
715
00:48:01,321 --> 00:48:03,604
Who put out those candles?
- What candles?
716
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,445
Oh those.
- It must have been the wind.
717
00:48:10,055 --> 00:48:11,998
Goodnight, Albert.
- Goodnight my lady.
718
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,204
Goodnight, Albert.
- Goodnight.
719
00:48:21,642 --> 00:48:23,379
It wasn't the wind, Ellen.
720
00:48:38,904 --> 00:48:41,109
I say auntie, you've not
turned Roman have you?
721
00:48:41,466 --> 00:48:42,763
I do this for a friend.
722
00:48:48,243 --> 00:48:49,129
Now, Albert.
723
00:48:49,869 --> 00:48:52,134
Let's stop all this 'auntie' nonsense
and get down to cases.
724
00:48:52,862 --> 00:48:54,748
Why have you come here
and what do you want?
725
00:48:55,073 --> 00:48:56,918
Well auntie .. I mean, Ellen.
726
00:48:57,692 --> 00:49:02,208
To cut it fine, I'm taking a compulsory
holiday from my bank over in Gravesend.
727
00:49:02,602 --> 00:49:05,107
In other words, you've lost your job.
- I've given it up.
728
00:49:05,738 --> 00:49:07,522
You haven't done anything
wrong, have you?
729
00:49:09,237 --> 00:49:11,605
I sort-of helped myself to a
little salary I wasn't entitled to.
730
00:49:12,885 --> 00:49:14,393
You mean, you've stolen money.
731
00:49:16,415 --> 00:49:19,181
This is rattling good brandy.
- Answer me, Albert.
732
00:49:21,270 --> 00:49:23,848
You've got it.
- How much?
733
00:49:24,594 --> 00:49:27,402
A small matter of a hundred pounds.
- I'll see.
734
00:49:30,342 --> 00:49:33,271
I suppose you want me to give you the
hundred pounds so you can put it back?
735
00:49:33,515 --> 00:49:36,477
I'm afraid it's too late for that.
They found out, the police.
736
00:49:37,180 --> 00:49:38,164
The police?
737
00:49:38,389 --> 00:49:42,016
A friend passed me the tip they were
coming. So I .. I took French leave.
738
00:49:42,455 --> 00:49:44,956
But .. they'll follow you.
They'll come here.
739
00:49:46,079 --> 00:49:49,774
Don't worry .. no-one knows I've got
relations out here on the marshes.
740
00:49:51,122 --> 00:49:52,699
I'll be safe here for a lifetime.
741
00:49:53,159 --> 00:49:55,319
You're certainly not going
to stay here for a lifetime.
742
00:49:55,769 --> 00:49:57,815
Surely you don't mind me
staying for a while, do you?
743
00:49:58,340 --> 00:50:00,745
Until it all blows over.
- Then what do you propose to do?
744
00:50:01,094 --> 00:50:03,725
Clear out of the country.
America, Australia. Any old where.
745
00:50:04,230 --> 00:50:06,552
I'm .. counting on you to help me.
746
00:50:06,868 --> 00:50:08,188
I need money for my passage.
747
00:50:08,631 --> 00:50:09,630
I'm .. I'm stony.
748
00:50:11,353 --> 00:50:13,246
It won't cost much. Steerage.
749
00:50:13,691 --> 00:50:15,882
I don't see why I should concern
myself with your affairs.
750
00:50:16,414 --> 00:50:17,870
I'll land in prison if you don't.
751
00:50:19,541 --> 00:50:22,420
You're not the sort to turn anybody down
who's in trouble and needed your help.
752
00:50:23,210 --> 00:50:24,969
You wouldn't fail your
own flesh and blood.
753
00:50:25,185 --> 00:50:27,020
I'm no flesh and blood of yours, Albert.
754
00:50:27,468 --> 00:50:29,199
Won't you give me a
chance to start again?
755
00:50:29,415 --> 00:50:30,734
I promise. Cross my heart.
756
00:50:31,090 --> 00:50:33,457
I'll never do anything wrong
again for the rest of my natural.
757
00:50:33,673 --> 00:50:35,143
Let me go.
758
00:50:41,301 --> 00:50:44,030
Very well. I'll do it.
- Bless you, Ellen.
759
00:50:44,415 --> 00:50:46,973
You're a daisy, you are.
- We'll talk about it in the morning.
760
00:50:47,820 --> 00:50:50,180
You can sleep on the sofa tonight.
- I don't mind where I sleep.
761
00:50:50,396 --> 00:50:51,419
But mind you ..
762
00:50:51,635 --> 00:50:54,218
You can only stay until I've
arranged your passage on the boat.
763
00:50:54,434 --> 00:50:57,466
Anything you say,
Ellen old girl .. what's that?
764
00:50:57,983 --> 00:50:59,945
That's just the maid.
She's been out on an errand.
765
00:51:01,006 --> 00:51:02,550
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss?
766
00:51:04,518 --> 00:51:06,220
They'll be a gentleman
staying the night.
767
00:51:06,639 --> 00:51:07,819
A gentleman staying?
768
00:51:08,099 --> 00:51:09,776
A relation. He'll sleep in here.
769
00:51:10,033 --> 00:51:12,679
Now go to your room and change your
wet clothes before you start sneezing.
770
00:51:12,895 --> 00:51:15,090
Yes, Miss .. goodnight.
- Goodnight.
771
00:51:15,306 --> 00:51:16,096
Goodnight.
772
00:51:16,620 --> 00:51:17,557
'Lucy', is it?
773
00:51:19,035 --> 00:51:20,472
Yes .. Lucy.
774
00:51:23,706 --> 00:51:25,687
I fancy that's all for
tonight, aunt Ellen.
775
00:51:26,138 --> 00:51:29,180
I'll just have a weed before
I turn in. The last of the day.
776
00:51:30,306 --> 00:51:32,729
You seem to be taking this
all very lightly, Albert.
777
00:51:33,490 --> 00:51:35,166
You have told me the worst, haven't you?
778
00:51:35,601 --> 00:51:38,110
I mean, there isn't anything else?
- What else?
779
00:51:40,653 --> 00:51:42,212
There are worse things than stealing.
780
00:51:42,987 --> 00:51:43,994
For instance?
781
00:51:45,828 --> 00:51:47,359
No, there's no blood on my hands.
782
00:51:47,743 --> 00:51:49,703
Putting people out calls
for <i>real </i>nerve, you know.
783
00:51:54,270 --> 00:51:55,303
Yes.
784
00:51:59,547 --> 00:52:01,321
Goodnight, Albert.
- Nighty night.
785
00:53:12,967 --> 00:53:15,145
Did you enjoy the sermon, Mr Bates?
786
00:53:15,603 --> 00:53:16,818
Mighty powerful, Miss.
787
00:53:17,293 --> 00:53:18,797
Yes. It was, wasn't it.
788
00:53:20,284 --> 00:53:22,109
But there was a lot I didn't understand.
789
00:53:23,490 --> 00:53:24,866
The part that went ..
790
00:53:25,639 --> 00:53:26,568
How was it?
791
00:53:27,496 --> 00:53:29,004
The wicked flee.
792
00:53:30,087 --> 00:53:32,717
When no man .. pursueth.
793
00:53:34,739 --> 00:53:36,575
But .. but ..
794
00:53:38,561 --> 00:53:41,233
The righteous are as bold as a lion.
795
00:54:08,319 --> 00:54:09,297
Well.
796
00:54:10,743 --> 00:54:12,479
What do you think you're doing?
797
00:54:13,690 --> 00:54:16,840
I fooled around with this padlock
last night and it .. came off.
798
00:54:17,592 --> 00:54:18,689
You shouldn't have.
799
00:54:19,344 --> 00:54:21,297
That's where Miss Fiske
keeps her valuables.
800
00:54:21,551 --> 00:54:23,794
How does she get at them?
With a pickaxe? Look.
801
00:54:25,898 --> 00:54:28,667
Well I never. All bricked up.
802
00:54:29,531 --> 00:54:31,248
I wonder why that was done.
803
00:54:31,530 --> 00:54:33,342
It wasn't that way the
last time I was here.
804
00:54:33,821 --> 00:54:35,868
So you've had your nose
in there before, have you?
805
00:54:36,948 --> 00:54:39,174
Funny what nasty thoughts
people have sometimes, isn't it.
806
00:54:39,390 --> 00:54:41,597
Funny how they're right
sometimes, isn't it.
807
00:54:59,037 --> 00:55:01,443
I wonder why anyone would want
to brick up a place like that?
808
00:55:02,492 --> 00:55:05,171
Maybe Miss Fiske put her jewels
in there before she went away.
809
00:55:05,807 --> 00:55:08,881
You know .. she's not one to take
any chances leaving them about.
810
00:55:09,234 --> 00:55:10,530
Even with your aunt Ellen.
811
00:55:12,817 --> 00:55:15,523
If there are any sparkles in there,
I wouldn't mind having a peep at them.
812
00:55:15,748 --> 00:55:18,262
I'm sure you wouldn't.
- And neither would you, I dare say.
813
00:55:19,833 --> 00:55:24,037
In fact .. I'm sure you'd like the feel
of some around your swan-like neck.
814
00:55:26,610 --> 00:55:28,629
A pretty pink ear like
that calls for diamonds.
815
00:55:29,014 --> 00:55:31,473
A wandering hand like yours
calls for a slap in the face.
816
00:55:31,821 --> 00:55:33,675
It's wicked to slap a
man's face on a Sunday.
817
00:55:33,981 --> 00:55:35,745
The better the day, the better the deed.
818
00:55:36,179 --> 00:55:37,595
That leaves my conscience clear.
819
00:55:42,243 --> 00:55:43,680
I'll scream.
820
00:55:45,098 --> 00:55:46,140
What's that?
821
00:55:52,703 --> 00:55:55,550
What do you think I'm made of?
- Sugar and spice.
822
00:55:56,874 --> 00:55:58,131
And everything nice.
823
00:56:01,849 --> 00:56:03,164
Blimey, you're strong.
824
00:56:06,001 --> 00:56:07,586
It's a wig. Whose is it?
825
00:56:08,854 --> 00:56:10,150
It is Miss Fiske's.
826
00:56:10,705 --> 00:56:12,391
Oh, it's her best one.
827
00:56:13,295 --> 00:56:15,239
She's as bald as a coot.
- Ah.
828
00:56:15,455 --> 00:56:17,042
A wonder she didn't take it with her.
829
00:56:18,291 --> 00:56:19,267
Hello.
830
00:56:19,605 --> 00:56:22,290
Ah, she left a lot of
her fancy dresses too.
831
00:56:23,063 --> 00:56:24,930
Perhaps she'll buy some
new ones up in London?
832
00:56:25,392 --> 00:56:26,938
These are new. Most of them.
833
00:56:27,918 --> 00:56:30,059
You'd better put that back up.
- Alright.
834
00:56:30,285 --> 00:56:31,783
Get up on this chair.
835
00:56:39,798 --> 00:56:41,554
You know, it <i>is</i> odd
she only took one wig.
836
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:45,357
On a trip, anything might happen.
A fire or a gust of wind.
837
00:56:45,751 --> 00:56:46,409
Oh.
838
00:56:47,720 --> 00:56:49,195
Here's Emily coming up the path.
839
00:56:50,109 --> 00:56:51,329
You'd better be off.
840
00:56:57,184 --> 00:56:58,794
Hello my old cup of tea.
841
00:57:00,310 --> 00:57:02,634
What are you doing with those
bull-rushes? Looking for Moses?
842
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,371
You're making fun of me .. naughty boy.
843
00:57:28,649 --> 00:57:31,405
Hello Ducky .. I'm glad you're
back before the others.
844
00:57:31,964 --> 00:57:34,668
It isn't often I have the chance of
a tête-à-tête with the family's fairest.
845
00:57:34,884 --> 00:57:36,672
You're never serious
about anything, Albert.
846
00:57:36,888 --> 00:57:38,846
I was never more serious in my life.
847
00:57:40,212 --> 00:57:42,518
The storm did an enormous
amount of damage.
848
00:57:42,869 --> 00:57:45,494
Roads into Rochester and Gravesend
were completely flooded.
849
00:57:46,258 --> 00:57:48,836
The Postman told me.
- I hope they stay that way.
850
00:57:50,098 --> 00:57:51,558
Allow me, Empress.
851
00:57:52,362 --> 00:57:54,681
There's only one letter today.
It's for Miss Fiske.
852
00:57:55,047 --> 00:57:55,755
Is it?
853
00:58:01,577 --> 00:58:03,226
It's a cosy nest you got here.
854
00:58:03,605 --> 00:58:05,661
What's will happen to you
when Miss Fiske gets back?
855
00:58:05,896 --> 00:58:07,596
Will she let you stay on, do you think?
856
00:58:11,455 --> 00:58:12,701
She isn't coming back.
857
00:58:13,532 --> 00:58:14,548
Why not?
858
00:58:15,342 --> 00:58:16,575
Ellen's bought the house.
859
00:58:19,252 --> 00:58:19,924
Go on.
860
00:58:20,140 --> 00:58:21,241
Yes. It's quite true.
861
00:58:22,049 --> 00:58:23,150
It's a secret though.
862
00:58:23,366 --> 00:58:26,001
Ellen made us swear on the bible
that we wouldn't tell anyone.
863
00:58:26,218 --> 00:58:28,300
But you are one of the family.
So it's alright.
864
00:58:29,873 --> 00:58:31,661
Why should she want
to keep it a secret, eh?
865
00:58:31,877 --> 00:58:33,636
I don't know.
It was done in a great hurry.
866
00:58:33,873 --> 00:58:35,534
Louisa and I were sent off to Rochester.
867
00:58:35,750 --> 00:58:38,669
Then when we came back that night,
Miss Fiske was gone and it was all over.
868
00:58:40,902 --> 00:58:42,862
You won't tell Ellen I told
you, will you, Albert?
869
00:58:43,234 --> 00:58:43,975
No.
870
00:58:45,212 --> 00:58:47,000
We'll make that our
little secret, shall we?
871
00:58:47,335 --> 00:58:48,064
Alright.
872
00:58:50,086 --> 00:58:52,513
It will be rather fun.
Having a secret from Ellen.
873
00:58:53,143 --> 00:58:55,628
She thinks she's the clever one.
But she isn't.
874
00:58:57,109 --> 00:58:57,924
Not always.
875
00:58:59,816 --> 00:59:00,402
No.
876
00:59:01,225 --> 00:59:02,040
Not always.
877
00:59:17,517 --> 00:59:19,294
Albert.
- What?
878
00:59:25,153 --> 00:59:26,418
Good morning.
879
00:59:28,974 --> 00:59:30,034
May we come in?
880
00:59:30,250 --> 00:59:32,261
Who's that?
- A couple of nuns from The Priory.
881
00:59:33,048 --> 00:59:36,099
You talk to them, Albert.
I've got to tidy up the orchard.
882
00:59:47,032 --> 00:59:51,087
Oh .. I didn't know there was
a young man staying here.
883
00:59:51,632 --> 00:59:52,844
Is Miss Ellen about?
884
00:59:53,060 --> 00:59:55,956
Sorry. She's gone over to the church at
Cawley. I'm her nephew, can I help?
885
00:59:56,487 --> 01:00:00,357
We came to return this. She lent us
a little oil last night. We ran short.
886
01:00:00,792 --> 01:00:02,060
Thanks.
- Yes, and this.
887
01:00:02,634 --> 01:00:04,846
The rent for the little field.
Your aunt will understand.
888
01:00:05,106 --> 01:00:06,179
I'll give it to her.
889
01:00:06,395 --> 01:00:08,788
We are so looking forward
to Miss Fiske's return.
890
01:00:09,371 --> 01:00:10,864
She's a dear friend of ours.
891
01:00:11,239 --> 01:00:14,646
Oh .. have you .. heard from her lately?
892
01:00:15,031 --> 01:00:16,218
No, not a word.
893
01:00:16,752 --> 01:00:19,335
I think the Reverend Mother is
a trifle hurt she hasn't written.
894
01:00:19,678 --> 01:00:22,281
In fact, she didn't even tell
us she was going away.
895
01:00:22,777 --> 01:00:25,295
Not very chummy, was it.
- No, it wasn't.
896
01:00:26,837 --> 01:00:28,232
Good morning.
- Good morning.
897
01:01:05,242 --> 01:01:07,671
Now what are you up to?
- Fetch me a knife, Ducky.
898
01:01:15,499 --> 01:01:17,170
What's that?
- A letter for Miss Fiske.
899
01:01:17,511 --> 01:01:19,943
You're not going to open it?
- No. Wouldn't think of it.
900
01:01:24,242 --> 01:01:25,431
What's it say?
901
01:01:26,201 --> 01:01:28,502
'Dear Madam.
Regarding your instructions ..'
902
01:01:28,718 --> 01:01:31,591
'To forward the amount of the
enclosed cheque in 5-pound notes'.
903
01:01:32,239 --> 01:01:36,889
'Your signature appears to differ from
that with which we are acquainted'.
904
01:01:38,793 --> 01:01:41,444
'We should be obliged if you
could kindly confirm same ..'
905
01:01:41,845 --> 01:01:44,354
'By signing it afresh.
In your usual manner'.
906
01:01:48,582 --> 01:01:49,634
Fifty pounds.
907
01:01:50,633 --> 01:01:51,591
Notice the date.
908
01:01:52,218 --> 01:01:53,703
'October 14th'.
909
01:01:54,794 --> 01:01:57,258
That's three days ago.
She's been gone longer than that.
910
01:01:57,803 --> 01:01:59,484
Since the beginning of September.
911
01:02:00,292 --> 01:02:02,329
She probably made it
out from wherever she is.
912
01:02:02,949 --> 01:02:04,986
Yes, she could have. Hey, wait a minute.
913
01:02:06,442 --> 01:02:08,765
In that case, why did they
send the reply to her here?
914
01:02:10,183 --> 01:02:11,666
You see who it's made payable to?
915
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:14,680
Ellen Creed.
916
01:02:15,506 --> 01:02:17,785
What of it? I expect it's
the housekeeping money.
917
01:02:18,380 --> 01:02:21,488
Maybe. Where's the glue-pot?
- Over there.
918
01:02:21,704 --> 01:02:23,015
Get it for me.
919
01:02:28,096 --> 01:02:30,146
Dip your finger in it.
- I should say not.
920
01:02:30,516 --> 01:02:31,817
I've had no hand in this.
921
01:02:33,119 --> 01:02:33,963
Haven't you?
922
01:02:35,383 --> 01:02:37,379
You are a filthy pig.
- Go on. Seal it up.
923
01:02:38,971 --> 01:02:39,930
Go on.
924
01:02:44,402 --> 01:02:46,276
Don't forget.
You're in this as deep as me now.
925
01:02:46,550 --> 01:02:48,124
I wish you'd never come here.
926
01:02:48,888 --> 01:02:51,488
I don't know what comes over
me when you're around.
927
01:02:52,752 --> 01:02:54,483
You won't give me away
to Ellen, will you?
928
01:02:54,699 --> 01:02:56,230
I won't if you keep your mouth shut.
929
01:03:03,357 --> 01:03:06,241
Here come the performing seals.
Not a word, mind you.
930
01:03:17,604 --> 01:03:18,397
Albert.
931
01:03:18,622 --> 01:03:20,252
Hello, aunts .. had a nice pray?
932
01:03:20,492 --> 01:03:22,114
You should have been at church, Albert.
933
01:03:22,576 --> 01:03:24,609
The minister told us all about Hell.
934
01:03:25,016 --> 01:03:27,336
You'd have enjoyed the
bit about the lost souls ..
935
01:03:27,682 --> 01:03:29,251
Sizzling in the bottomless pit.
936
01:03:29,554 --> 01:03:31,970
Would I now? Sounds frightening.
937
01:03:32,540 --> 01:03:34,859
Ellen .. where is Hell?
938
01:03:37,451 --> 01:03:39,443
Hell is like the Kingdom of Heaven.
939
01:03:41,672 --> 01:03:42,552
It is within.
940
01:03:43,037 --> 01:03:43,995
That reminds me.
941
01:03:44,310 --> 01:03:45,926
One of your religious friends was here.
942
01:03:46,258 --> 01:03:49,076
She left you this.
It's the rent for some field or other.
943
01:03:50,580 --> 01:03:52,568
She didn't see you, did she?
- I couldn't avoid it.
944
01:03:52,784 --> 01:03:54,258
That was Sister Theresa.
945
01:03:55,171 --> 01:03:59,138
She's Miss Fiske's friend. She doesn't
like us any more than Miss Fiske did.
946
01:03:59,974 --> 01:04:01,311
Didn't Miss Fiske like you?
947
01:04:01,981 --> 01:04:03,098
She was horrid to us.
948
01:04:03,344 --> 01:04:05,103
Louisa, run upstairs
and change your dress.
949
01:04:05,417 --> 01:04:07,148
You can't sit around
in your best all day.
950
01:04:07,445 --> 01:04:08,575
No. I shan't, shall I.
951
01:04:09,221 --> 01:04:10,348
No. Of course not.
952
01:04:12,538 --> 01:04:13,819
Albert.
- Huh?
953
01:04:14,096 --> 01:04:16,776
I don't want you to mention Miss Fiske
again in front of my sisters.
954
01:04:17,336 --> 01:04:18,819
They quarrelled with her.
955
01:04:19,382 --> 01:04:21,392
And it upsets them very
much to talk about her.
956
01:04:22,012 --> 01:04:23,364
Sorry. Nobody told me.
957
01:04:24,555 --> 01:04:26,055
What did you quarrel about?
958
01:04:26,666 --> 01:04:28,328
I didn't say I quarrelled with her.
959
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,220
Would she by any chance be the friend
you lit those candles for last night?
960
01:04:37,276 --> 01:04:38,187
Yes.
961
01:04:39,145 --> 01:04:40,469
When did she die?
962
01:04:42,779 --> 01:04:43,699
Die?
963
01:04:44,779 --> 01:04:46,516
Who said anything about her being dead?
964
01:04:47,042 --> 01:04:50,858
I just assumed she was.
You don't light candles for the living.
965
01:04:51,493 --> 01:04:53,352
Do you?
- I don't know.
966
01:04:54,178 --> 01:04:55,831
I just thought they stood for prayer.
967
01:04:56,685 --> 01:04:58,451
I must find Emily.
- By the way.
968
01:04:58,779 --> 01:05:00,614
The postman gave her
a letter for Miss Fiske.
969
01:05:00,911 --> 01:05:02,450
From her bank, I believe.
970
01:05:03,202 --> 01:05:04,375
Give it to me.
971
01:05:14,895 --> 01:05:16,951
I'm managing all her
affairs while she's away.
972
01:05:29,109 --> 01:05:31,579
Anything important?
- Yes, rather.
973
01:05:32,625 --> 01:05:34,512
I must get an answer
in the post immediately.
974
01:05:39,075 --> 01:05:40,763
A stylish looking piano you've got here.
975
01:05:41,029 --> 01:05:43,016
Don't distract me, Albert.
I must concentrate.
976
01:05:43,301 --> 01:05:45,026
I'm sorry. Don't mind me, auntie.
977
01:05:59,907 --> 01:06:01,335
I say, you are up to date.
978
01:06:02,020 --> 01:06:04,648
I didn't expect to find a copy of
The Mikado way out here on the marshes.
979
01:06:10,467 --> 01:06:12,747
[ Whistling song: Tit-Willow ]
980
01:06:20,224 --> 01:06:21,491
Don't do that.
981
01:06:22,064 --> 01:06:24,252
I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to distract you.
982
01:06:25,378 --> 01:06:27,960
It's just I happen to dislike that
particular tune. That's all.
983
01:06:28,261 --> 01:06:29,932
It's a bit on the morbid side.
984
01:06:35,775 --> 01:06:37,740
Miss Ellen, how soon
will you want dinner?
985
01:06:38,044 --> 01:06:39,402
In a quarter of an hour, Lucy.
986
01:06:39,624 --> 01:06:41,383
I'll just post this
letter at the crossing.
987
01:06:41,801 --> 01:06:42,788
Let me go, Ellen.
988
01:06:43,019 --> 01:06:44,372
I can do with a sniff of air.
989
01:06:44,588 --> 01:06:46,710
No thank you.
I prefer to attend to this myself.
990
01:07:20,938 --> 01:07:22,723
What are you up to now?
991
01:07:23,124 --> 01:07:24,998
She just wrote a reply to
the letter we opened.
992
01:07:25,426 --> 01:07:27,560
I thought it would be interesting
to see what she says.
993
01:07:28,703 --> 01:07:29,518
'Dear sir'.
994
01:07:30,198 --> 01:07:30,956
'Cheque'.
995
01:07:31,301 --> 01:07:32,168
Something.
996
01:07:32,562 --> 01:07:33,406
'Incorrect'.
997
01:07:34,231 --> 01:07:35,018
Something.
998
01:07:35,529 --> 01:07:36,258
'Owing'.
999
01:07:36,987 --> 01:07:38,671
Something, something.
1000
01:07:39,444 --> 01:07:40,350
'Wrist'.
1001
01:07:41,875 --> 01:07:43,870
What does that word
look like to you? See.
1002
01:07:44,636 --> 01:07:47,233
'S .. p .. r ..'
1003
01:07:47,779 --> 01:07:48,718
S .. p .. r.
1004
01:07:49,226 --> 01:07:50,685
'Sprained'. That's it.
1005
01:07:51,092 --> 01:07:52,394
'Owing to a sprained wrist'.
1006
01:07:53,878 --> 01:07:54,922
Something. 'Yours'.
1007
01:07:55,374 --> 01:07:56,225
'Leonora'.
1008
01:07:57,357 --> 01:07:58,758
'Leonora Fiske'.
1009
01:08:01,625 --> 01:08:03,040
She signed it 'Leonora Fiske'.
1010
01:08:03,525 --> 01:08:04,684
What's it mean, Albert?
1011
01:08:05,493 --> 01:08:06,665
What do you think?
1012
01:08:07,266 --> 01:08:09,506
It looks as if she's pretending
to be Miss Fiske.
1013
01:08:10,308 --> 01:08:12,239
Getting money on the strength of it.
- Brilliant.
1014
01:08:12,455 --> 01:08:13,845
If that's true, she's a thief.
1015
01:08:14,342 --> 01:08:15,535
Like you.
- Shut up.
1016
01:08:18,319 --> 01:08:20,417
What will happen when
Miss Fiske comes back?
1017
01:08:23,624 --> 01:08:25,061
Suppose she isn't coming back?
1018
01:08:26,187 --> 01:08:29,149
Suppose she's died somewhere.
And Ellen is the only one who knows.
1019
01:08:29,485 --> 01:08:31,229
You can't die and only
one person know it.
1020
01:08:31,445 --> 01:08:32,744
Can't you? I'm not so sure.
1021
01:08:34,460 --> 01:08:35,600
One thing I do know.
1022
01:08:35,906 --> 01:08:38,896
She'd never risk it unless she knew
Miss Fiske was out of the way for good.
1023
01:08:39,955 --> 01:08:43,091
Alright .. assume she's dead.
Aunt Ellen is having the funds.
1024
01:08:43,645 --> 01:08:45,721
It might be years before
anybody would find out.
1025
01:08:48,011 --> 01:08:49,815
Why should she reap all the benefit?
1026
01:08:55,455 --> 01:08:57,100
There may be some pickings in it for us.
1027
01:08:57,481 --> 01:08:59,841
Would you like to see a bit of the
world? Have some fun with me?
1028
01:09:00,057 --> 01:09:01,907
You'd tempt Old Nick
himself, wouldn't you?
1029
01:09:02,123 --> 01:09:03,540
You've got to help me get proof.
1030
01:09:03,775 --> 01:09:05,763
I don't want to do anything
mean or underhanded.
1031
01:09:06,113 --> 01:09:09,069
Would I ask you to? Use your eyes
and keep your ears open. That's all.
1032
01:09:09,863 --> 01:09:10,821
What do you say?
1033
01:09:11,696 --> 01:09:12,720
I don't know.
1034
01:09:12,936 --> 01:09:14,752
Perhaps this will help
you make up your mind.
1035
01:09:20,189 --> 01:09:22,321
Well?
- I'll help you, Albert.
1036
01:09:23,541 --> 01:09:25,685
Here she comes. Look sharp now.
Back to the kitchen.
1037
01:10:47,655 --> 01:10:48,984
She's coming.
1038
01:10:49,341 --> 01:10:51,214
Blimey. You almost made
me frightened myself.
1039
01:10:51,698 --> 01:10:53,567
Hurry up, hurry up.
- Alright. Shut up.
1040
01:10:57,097 --> 01:10:59,119
Hey, go in the kitchen
and make some tea.
1041
01:11:00,769 --> 01:11:03,053
Take this with you. Go on, hurry.
1042
01:11:08,868 --> 01:11:10,408
Goodnight, Bates.
- Night, ma'am.
1043
01:11:10,665 --> 01:11:12,424
Don't forget.
Ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
1044
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:13,710
Very good, ma'am.
1045
01:11:24,420 --> 01:11:25,960
Did you have a successful trip?
1046
01:11:29,358 --> 01:11:30,324
Yes.
1047
01:11:31,452 --> 01:11:32,615
I have your ticket.
1048
01:11:33,462 --> 01:11:35,112
You leave tomorrow.
1049
01:11:36,730 --> 01:11:37,873
Do I?
1050
01:11:38,909 --> 01:11:41,037
Where are my sisters?
- I sent them off to bed.
1051
01:11:41,594 --> 01:11:44,567
They were getting a little out of hand.
- I dare say it wasn't their fault.
1052
01:11:45,180 --> 01:11:46,694
Lucy is making some hot tea.
1053
01:11:47,190 --> 01:11:48,628
We thought you might be cold.
1054
01:11:49,171 --> 01:11:51,500
I'll be down again .. as soon as
I've said goodnight to them.
1055
01:12:05,306 --> 01:12:06,436
Is everything alright?
1056
01:12:06,652 --> 01:12:09,253
No it's not. She's packing me off
tomorrow. We've got to move fast.
1057
01:12:10,013 --> 01:12:14,109
You haven't changed your mind, have you?
- I couldn't refuse you anything .. now.
1058
01:12:17,711 --> 01:12:20,732
We thought you'd never come,
Ellen .. I was frightened.
1059
01:12:21,412 --> 01:12:22,227
Frightened?
1060
01:12:22,443 --> 01:12:24,128
Yes, they were such funny noises.
1061
01:12:24,896 --> 01:12:26,049
It was only the rats.
1062
01:12:27,710 --> 01:12:29,343
What have you been doing all evening?
1063
01:12:29,794 --> 01:12:33,166
We played a game of cribbage.
Of course, Albert cheated.
1064
01:12:33,475 --> 01:12:35,420
But it was rather fun
watching him cheat.
1065
01:12:36,156 --> 01:12:38,001
He hasn't said anything
about Miss Fiske?
1066
01:12:38,432 --> 01:12:39,681
No.
- Miss Fiske?
1067
01:12:41,073 --> 01:12:41,974
Why should he?
1068
01:12:42,322 --> 01:12:44,819
And neither of you spoke to him
about my buying the house?
1069
01:12:45,173 --> 01:12:46,021
No, Ellen.
1070
01:12:46,441 --> 01:12:47,399
Do you remember?
1071
01:12:47,678 --> 01:12:49,855
You made us swear on
the bible we wouldn't.
1072
01:12:53,352 --> 01:12:55,327
I think you'd better go to
sleep now, both of you.
1073
01:12:55,778 --> 01:12:58,491
I'm going downstairs to have a
hot cup of tea before I go to bed.
1074
01:13:11,633 --> 01:13:14,151
Albert, do you think ..?
- Pour the tea, Lucy.
1075
01:13:21,955 --> 01:13:24,408
Thank you Lucy. You may go to bed now.
- Yes, Miss Ellen.
1076
01:13:24,946 --> 01:13:26,345
Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
1077
01:13:36,366 --> 01:13:37,639
Auntie, where is your cane?
1078
01:13:38,312 --> 01:13:40,981
You look like you'd like to take down
my breeches and give me a dozen.
1079
01:13:42,223 --> 01:13:45,038
There's a boat sailing for Canada
on Friday. You sail with it.
1080
01:13:46,295 --> 01:13:47,826
I'm not sure I want to go to Canada.
1081
01:13:48,849 --> 01:13:49,693
Yet a while.
1082
01:13:50,173 --> 01:13:51,779
You haven't much choice, have you?
1083
01:13:52,201 --> 01:13:54,201
I don't know. I'm getting
quite fond of this place.
1084
01:13:54,463 --> 01:13:57,278
The air suits me .. I'm very
happy here for the time being.
1085
01:13:57,793 --> 01:13:59,765
I'm not happy having you here.
- Why?
1086
01:14:01,027 --> 01:14:03,956
It isn't safe since Sister Theresa
knows you're staying here with us.
1087
01:14:04,613 --> 01:14:07,129
The wrong sort of talk would bring
the police around here in no time.
1088
01:14:07,692 --> 01:14:09,826
I don't propose to risk a
scandal on your account.
1089
01:14:10,979 --> 01:14:12,484
There's more to it than that.
1090
01:14:13,552 --> 01:14:14,914
Lucy is apt to talk.
1091
01:14:15,787 --> 01:14:17,383
I don't think we need worry about her.
1092
01:14:18,557 --> 01:14:20,578
No. You've made sure of that.
1093
01:14:21,269 --> 01:14:24,026
Whatever do you mean by that?
- You know what, you cheap little ..
1094
01:14:24,454 --> 01:14:26,419
Stop it Ellen.
You'll make me lose my temper.
1095
01:14:26,784 --> 01:14:27,717
Your temper?
1096
01:14:27,975 --> 01:14:30,803
You leave first thing in the morning.
That's the end of you and your temper.
1097
01:14:31,019 --> 01:14:32,487
I shouldn't try to bluff me.
1098
01:14:32,885 --> 01:14:36,020
I'm not bluffing you. I order you.
- If I don't choose to be ordered?
1099
01:14:36,755 --> 01:14:39,395
I can't throw you out physically.
But I can send for the police.
1100
01:14:39,611 --> 01:14:40,765
And have your scandal?
1101
01:14:41,425 --> 01:14:43,625
Really, you're being very
inconsistent now, auntie dear.
1102
01:14:47,747 --> 01:14:49,119
You won't send for the police.
1103
01:14:50,349 --> 01:14:51,841
Why are you so sure?
1104
01:14:52,573 --> 01:14:53,992
Because you've another reason.
1105
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:56,914
A more important reason for
not wanting the police here.
1106
01:14:57,546 --> 01:14:59,799
For wanting me out of this
house as quickly as possible.
1107
01:15:01,265 --> 01:15:02,936
As a matter of fact, you are right.
1108
01:15:03,339 --> 01:15:04,889
Now we get down to brass tacks.
1109
01:15:09,192 --> 01:15:11,134
Did it concern Miss Fiske by any chance?
1110
01:15:12,843 --> 01:15:14,271
It would and it does.
1111
01:15:15,303 --> 01:15:18,769
I met her in town today.
She's coming back.
1112
01:15:21,002 --> 01:15:24,068
She's coming back?
- And why shouldn't she?
1113
01:15:25,444 --> 01:15:27,138
I thought she'd gone for good.
1114
01:15:27,641 --> 01:15:29,345
How utterly absurd of you, Albert.
1115
01:15:29,950 --> 01:15:32,232
There has never been any
question of her not coming back.
1116
01:15:33,753 --> 01:15:35,532
Why didn't you say
so in the first place?
1117
01:15:35,748 --> 01:15:37,942
You played the fool so much
with Louisa and Emily.
1118
01:15:39,190 --> 01:15:40,693
I was afraid you'd blurt it out.
1119
01:15:42,481 --> 01:15:44,355
As it is, I'll have to
break it to them gently.
1120
01:15:44,571 --> 01:15:46,477
Because it means
they will have to go too.
1121
01:15:51,855 --> 01:15:53,989
My little country holiday has
obviously come to an end.
1122
01:15:54,843 --> 01:15:56,734
I don't know what the
blazes I'll do in Canada.
1123
01:15:56,950 --> 01:15:59,119
I suppose one can starve there
as well as anywhere else.
1124
01:15:59,677 --> 01:16:00,790
You'll get on.
1125
01:16:01,757 --> 01:16:03,762
I'll give you a little
something to start off with.
1126
01:16:04,659 --> 01:16:05,908
For your mother's sake.
1127
01:16:06,405 --> 01:16:08,376
I suppose I should extend
my most humble thanks.
1128
01:16:08,668 --> 01:16:10,540
No. That from you would be too much.
1129
01:16:11,034 --> 01:16:13,664
If that's all we have to say to each
other, I may as well get up to bed.
1130
01:16:32,163 --> 01:16:34,237
A good night's sleep wouldn't
do you any harm, either.
1131
01:16:35,093 --> 01:16:36,483
You look a bit played out.
1132
01:16:42,139 --> 01:16:43,698
I must lock up first.
1133
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,157
Will I be seeing you in the
morning before I leave?
1134
01:16:49,557 --> 01:16:50,486
Yes.
1135
01:16:59,735 --> 01:17:01,070
I forgot to tell you, auntie.
1136
01:17:02,138 --> 01:17:03,848
I had a funny dream last night.
1137
01:17:05,052 --> 01:17:05,796
Did you?
1138
01:17:08,636 --> 01:17:10,288
I dreamt Miss Fiske was dead.
1139
01:17:17,761 --> 01:17:20,112
Goodnight, auntie.
- Goodnight, Albert.
1140
01:18:52,767 --> 01:18:54,268
Miss Fiske ..
1141
01:19:06,554 --> 01:19:07,625
Albert.
1142
01:19:08,620 --> 01:19:09,497
Albert!
1143
01:19:48,544 --> 01:19:49,617
Good morning, Bates.
1144
01:19:49,833 --> 01:19:52,997
Miss Creed ordered me. It's about the
train, but she didn't say which one.
1145
01:19:53,823 --> 01:19:54,626
Bates.
1146
01:19:55,260 --> 01:19:56,975
Cancel it. Miss Creed's
not feeling well.
1147
01:19:57,382 --> 01:19:59,134
Nothing serious I hope, sir?
1148
01:19:59,716 --> 01:20:00,845
No. Nothing serious.
1149
01:20:01,576 --> 01:20:03,714
In that case, I'd better hop along.
1150
01:20:11,215 --> 01:20:13,479
She did look ill when I
took in her early tea.
1151
01:20:13,844 --> 01:20:15,160
I wish we hadn't done it.
1152
01:20:15,376 --> 01:20:17,754
Pull yourself together.
You'll ruin everything. Go on upstairs.
1153
01:20:18,116 --> 01:20:20,071
She might have died.
- Shut up.
1154
01:20:22,419 --> 01:20:24,304
Well she didn't. And we
proved what we wanted.
1155
01:20:24,605 --> 01:20:27,046
Miss Fiske is dead and she knows it.
- I wonder when she died.
1156
01:20:27,262 --> 01:20:30,193
One more go, and I'll tell you when
and how, she died. Now, go on upstairs.
1157
01:20:32,234 --> 01:20:33,778
What did Bates want, Albert?
1158
01:20:34,469 --> 01:20:37,339
He brought the news from the outside
world. It will tickle you to death.
1159
01:20:37,669 --> 01:20:39,500
Wigs and whiskers are
coming back in again.
1160
01:20:39,795 --> 01:20:41,748
I don't think this is a
time for joking, Albert.
1161
01:20:42,024 --> 01:20:43,268
With Ellen the way she is.
1162
01:20:43,484 --> 01:20:45,673
You take this thing too seriously,
my old brussels sprout.
1163
01:20:45,906 --> 01:20:48,296
She was walking in her sleep
and had a nightmare. That's all.
1164
01:20:48,857 --> 01:20:50,738
It wasn't a nightmare, Albert.
1165
01:20:52,979 --> 01:20:56,425
Oh .. what was it then?
- She says she saw a ghost.
1166
01:20:58,326 --> 01:21:00,241
In that case, lay another
place for breakfast.
1167
01:21:01,837 --> 01:21:04,083
Do you really think
it was a ghost, Emily?
1168
01:21:04,814 --> 01:21:08,147
If it were only a nightmare,
we wouldn't have heard it too.
1169
01:21:09,095 --> 01:21:12,379
Heard what?
- The music. Miss Fiske's music.
1170
01:21:13,216 --> 01:21:14,174
You know, Emily.
1171
01:21:14,512 --> 01:21:16,786
I'm sometimes afraid Miss Fiske
will get the better of Ellen.
1172
01:21:17,358 --> 01:21:20,210
I sometimes think she wants
to come back and turn us out.
1173
01:21:20,570 --> 01:21:23,299
I think Miss Fiske is here .. now.
1174
01:21:24,166 --> 01:21:27,506
Well .. what are you
two whispering about?
1175
01:21:28,354 --> 01:21:30,821
Hadn't you better go for your walk now?
- Yes, Ellen.
1176
01:21:31,124 --> 01:21:32,605
Anything you say, Ellen.
1177
01:21:46,684 --> 01:21:48,838
Do you think you're
strong enough to be up?
1178
01:21:49,303 --> 01:21:52,031
Yes, dear. I'm quite alright now.
- Hadn't you better have a doctor?
1179
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,336
No. A doctor couldn't do any good.
1180
01:22:01,118 --> 01:22:03,274
Why are you two standing
there like a couple of owls?
1181
01:22:04,315 --> 01:22:05,674
Emily has been frightening me.
1182
01:22:05,890 --> 01:22:07,724
You've been imagining
things, both of you.
1183
01:22:07,940 --> 01:22:09,719
Now, run along for your walk.
1184
01:22:10,194 --> 01:22:12,573
Whatever you say, Ellen. You know best.
1185
01:22:47,533 --> 01:22:48,748
Good morning, aunt Ellen.
1186
01:22:52,429 --> 01:22:53,848
We didn't expect you down today.
1187
01:22:55,144 --> 01:22:56,748
Why aren't you ready yet?
1188
01:22:57,416 --> 01:22:58,898
Bates will be here at any moment.
1189
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:01,876
Bates has been here and
gone .. I sent him away.
1190
01:23:02,599 --> 01:23:04,832
What do you mean by interfering
with my arrangements?
1191
01:23:05,087 --> 01:23:07,308
I didn't like to go and leave
you not feeling well.
1192
01:23:07,829 --> 01:23:09,585
I'm quite recovered now, thank you.
1193
01:23:10,535 --> 01:23:12,151
It was a queer turn you had last night.
1194
01:23:13,012 --> 01:23:13,913
What happened?
1195
01:23:16,155 --> 01:23:17,012
Nothing.
1196
01:23:17,529 --> 01:23:19,792
You know, you should really do
something about your nerves.
1197
01:23:20,064 --> 01:23:22,710
This isn't the first time you've walked
in your sleep, according to Emily.
1198
01:23:23,866 --> 01:23:24,996
What's Emily told you?
1199
01:23:25,212 --> 01:23:26,370
Just the usual chatter.
1200
01:23:27,566 --> 01:23:30,648
They do say that people who walk in
their sleep have a guilty conscience.
1201
01:23:32,807 --> 01:23:34,722
What's behind that remark, Albert?
1202
01:23:35,877 --> 01:23:36,788
Nothing.
1203
01:23:56,997 --> 01:23:58,016
You know.
1204
01:23:58,692 --> 01:23:59,725
Uhuh.
1205
01:24:07,734 --> 01:24:09,783
Then it was you last night?
- Yes.
1206
01:24:10,635 --> 01:24:12,786
Me and Lucy.
- She knows too?
1207
01:24:13,435 --> 01:24:16,579
Not what I know. That's something you
and I are going to keep to ourselves.
1208
01:24:17,454 --> 01:24:19,302
Provided of course, you treat me right.
1209
01:24:21,351 --> 01:24:22,852
What are you going to do?
1210
01:24:24,955 --> 01:24:26,342
As I said, I'm very happy here.
1211
01:24:26,974 --> 01:24:29,880
I think with your financial help I'll
be able to adjust things at the bank.
1212
01:24:30,486 --> 01:24:33,462
And we can all settle down in peace.
A contented little family.
1213
01:24:38,699 --> 01:24:40,639
You mean, you propose
to go on living here?
1214
01:24:41,042 --> 01:24:42,511
With me?
- Why not?
1215
01:24:43,380 --> 01:24:45,003
You'd never be quite sure, would you?
1216
01:24:45,991 --> 01:24:47,704
You might not enjoy your meals.
1217
01:24:51,328 --> 01:24:53,741
You wouldn't dare .. a second time.
1218
01:24:54,750 --> 01:24:57,031
It takes a lot of courage to
kill for the first time, Albert.
1219
01:24:57,830 --> 01:25:00,317
Once you've sold your soul to
the Devil it becomes easier.
1220
01:25:01,558 --> 01:25:02,675
Much easier.
1221
01:25:03,887 --> 01:25:07,713
Alright .. give me £500 and I'll clear
out for good. And keep my mouth shut.
1222
01:25:07,933 --> 01:25:10,215
I'm not afraid of you, Albert.
And your shabby little tricks.
1223
01:25:10,666 --> 01:25:13,323
In the middle of the night, you may
fancy yourself cutting quite a figure.
1224
01:25:13,980 --> 01:25:15,595
It's broad daylight now.
1225
01:25:16,055 --> 01:25:17,426
[ Door knocks ]
1226
01:25:22,761 --> 01:25:23,944
It's those nuns.
1227
01:25:24,482 --> 01:25:27,362
Get that out of sight.
And yourself with it.
1228
01:25:31,659 --> 01:25:33,002
[ Door knocks ]
1229
01:25:38,532 --> 01:25:41,311
Good day, Sisters.
- I must talk to you, right away.
1230
01:25:41,857 --> 01:25:43,121
Are you alone?
- Yes.
1231
01:25:43,889 --> 01:25:44,905
What's the matter?
1232
01:25:45,241 --> 01:25:48,898
It's really none of my business
and I shouldn't have come but ..
1233
01:25:49,781 --> 01:25:52,419
The police. They've been to the Priory.
- What about?
1234
01:25:52,973 --> 01:25:54,653
They're searching for a young man.
1235
01:25:55,095 --> 01:25:57,671
Who stole money from a
bank over Gravesend way.
1236
01:25:58,212 --> 01:26:01,295
And from the description,
I suspect it was your nephew.
1237
01:26:01,945 --> 01:26:05,639
I thought if he were told, he might
have a chance to do the right thing.
1238
01:26:06,213 --> 01:26:07,596
And give himself up.
1239
01:26:08,675 --> 01:26:10,261
It is your nephew?
- Yes.
1240
01:26:10,825 --> 01:26:14,130
But they mustn't search here.
- They've gone to the Coyne farm first.
1241
01:26:14,553 --> 01:26:16,139
I heard one of them say so.
1242
01:26:17,097 --> 01:26:20,813
Oh Miss Ellen. Have I done
wrong in coming to warn you?
1243
01:26:22,345 --> 01:26:23,773
I don't know, Sister.
1244
01:26:24,730 --> 01:26:26,719
I had a brother rather like that.
1245
01:26:27,632 --> 01:26:28,938
He went wrong too.
1246
01:26:30,148 --> 01:26:33,618
People are so easily lost, aren't they?
1247
01:26:34,524 --> 01:26:35,575
Yes they are.
1248
01:26:36,083 --> 01:26:38,511
Poor girl. You have so many burdens.
1249
01:26:39,161 --> 01:26:40,320
If you refer to Albert.
1250
01:26:40,901 --> 01:26:42,388
He means absolutely nothing to me.
1251
01:26:43,143 --> 01:26:44,543
No-one does, for that matter.
1252
01:26:45,350 --> 01:26:46,843
Except Emily and Louisa.
1253
01:26:48,365 --> 01:26:53,486
If, any time, we can do anything to make
things easier for you or your sisters ..
1254
01:26:54,242 --> 01:26:56,078
Don't hesitate to turn to us.
1255
01:26:56,401 --> 01:26:58,181
That's very kind of you, Sister Theresa.
1256
01:26:58,843 --> 01:27:00,509
But you know, we're not of your faith.
1257
01:27:01,152 --> 01:27:04,017
In my Father's house are many mansions.
1258
01:27:10,324 --> 01:27:11,797
Blimey, I thought they'd never go.
1259
01:27:12,013 --> 01:27:13,715
Thanks for putting in
a good word for me.
1260
01:27:15,247 --> 01:27:16,837
The Coyne farm, is it?
1261
01:27:17,115 --> 01:27:19,332
That will give me a chance to
get behind them to the river.
1262
01:27:19,548 --> 01:27:21,951
Hurry. There's no time to lose.
- Yes, I'll get my clothes.
1263
01:27:36,482 --> 01:27:37,496
Lucy.
1264
01:27:38,970 --> 01:27:40,574
Why are you staring at me like that?
1265
01:27:47,259 --> 01:27:48,389
You've been listening.
1266
01:27:52,279 --> 01:27:53,011
Lucy.
1267
01:27:53,847 --> 01:27:55,077
Lucy, come back.
1268
01:27:56,673 --> 01:27:57,922
Lucy, come back.
1269
01:28:00,607 --> 01:28:01,729
What's up?
1270
01:28:04,948 --> 01:28:05,763
What is it?
1271
01:28:06,671 --> 01:28:07,700
Lucy's run off.
1272
01:28:08,543 --> 01:28:09,842
She was listening.
1273
01:28:11,899 --> 01:28:13,091
Turn me in, would she?
1274
01:28:13,589 --> 01:28:15,946
I've got to move fast.
Where's that money and boat ticket?
1275
01:28:21,783 --> 01:28:23,304
You mean, she heard all about that?
1276
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:28,225
Yes.
1277
01:28:29,117 --> 01:28:31,860
Hey .. you'd better
make a dash for it too.
1278
01:28:46,271 --> 01:28:47,740
Don't stand there mooning about.
1279
01:28:48,092 --> 01:28:49,909
Put your things on and
let's get out of here.
1280
01:28:52,816 --> 01:28:53,999
I'm not going.
1281
01:28:56,844 --> 01:28:58,130
Are you out of your mind?
1282
01:29:01,266 --> 01:29:03,883
You know what they'll do to you?
- You'd better hurry, Albert.
1283
01:29:04,966 --> 01:29:06,581
Well, if that don't beat the cards.
1284
01:29:08,780 --> 01:29:09,710
Well then ..
1285
01:29:11,785 --> 01:29:14,516
So long Ellen .. no hard feelings.
1286
01:29:49,217 --> 01:29:50,486
Ellen, it was so funny.
1287
01:29:50,849 --> 01:29:51,893
We just saw Albert.
1288
01:29:52,306 --> 01:29:53,808
He was playing 'tag' with some men.
1289
01:29:54,130 --> 01:29:56,069
He didn't win. They caught him.
1290
01:29:56,413 --> 01:29:57,556
He got quite annoyed.
1291
01:30:00,436 --> 01:30:02,922
Ellen, look.
We found a lot of jackdaw feathers.
1292
01:30:03,297 --> 01:30:05,846
We're going to tie them into
bundles and make little dusters.
1293
01:30:07,021 --> 01:30:08,492
Where are you going?
1294
01:30:10,172 --> 01:30:11,816
I'm going to Coyne farm.
1295
01:30:12,298 --> 01:30:14,852
There are some gentlemen there from
Gravesend and I want to see them.
1296
01:30:15,068 --> 01:30:16,974
You won't bring them
back here, will you Ellen.
1297
01:30:17,228 --> 01:30:19,134
It's so nice and peaceful by ourselves.
1298
01:30:20,007 --> 01:30:22,812
No, dear. I'll try not to
bring them back here.
1299
01:30:31,833 --> 01:30:35,636
You have been happy here, haven't you?
- We are happy here, aren't we Emily?
1300
01:30:35,852 --> 01:30:38,249
Yes .. it's much better than London.
1301
01:30:38,547 --> 01:30:40,897
It's so good of you to have
bought this house for us.
1302
01:30:41,242 --> 01:30:43,035
You have been clever, Ellen.
1303
01:31:06,500 --> 01:31:07,632
How long will you be?
1304
01:31:08,778 --> 01:31:10,031
I don't know, dear.
1305
01:31:10,562 --> 01:31:12,115
Maybe quite a time.
1306
01:31:13,116 --> 01:31:15,317
I think I shall go down
to The Priory tomorrow.
1307
01:31:15,914 --> 01:31:18,728
I should like to see the things the
Reverend Mother collected on the marsh.
1308
01:31:18,965 --> 01:31:20,045
I'll go with you.
1309
01:31:26,793 --> 01:31:29,371
Goodbye, Ellen .. don't worry about us.
1310
01:31:29,816 --> 01:31:31,460
We can look after ourselves.
1311
01:32:12,774 --> 01:32:13,678

Ellen Creed, a proud spinster fallen on hard times, has spent the past two years as housekeeper and companion to her old friend Leonora Fiske, a wealthy retiree who in her youth had been a chorus girl "of easy virtue". Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.
One day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.
Ellen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.
Ellen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.
Some nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.
Albert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a "sprained wrist." Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.
Albert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men. Ellen smiles, dons her coat and hat, tells the sisters she's going to see some men, kisses them goodbye and departs into the fog.

1
00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:15,105
Ellen.
2
00:02:16,275 --> 00:02:18,207
Yes, Miss Fiske.
- Is there any mail for me?
3
00:02:18,783 --> 00:02:20,449
No, just this one letter.
4
00:02:22,257 --> 00:02:24,580
No sign of Bates yet?
- Not yet.
5
00:02:25,271 --> 00:02:27,122
Oh dear, I do hope you
won't miss your train.
6
00:02:28,288 --> 00:02:29,130
I mustn't.
7
00:02:32,003 --> 00:02:34,632
Oh Lucy, hurry with that bag.
- Just coming, Miss.
8
00:02:39,861 --> 00:02:40,533
Ellen.
9
00:02:40,937 --> 00:02:42,986
That business I want you
to see about in London.
10
00:02:43,703 --> 00:02:45,281
This is for Mr Scott at the bank.
11
00:02:45,872 --> 00:02:47,797
It's about those Brazilian
bonds of mine.
12
00:02:48,116 --> 00:02:50,463
The way the market is this week,
I think they ought to be ..
13
00:02:51,108 --> 00:02:53,011
Get outside.
Keep your eyes open for Bates.
14
00:02:53,367 --> 00:02:54,154
Yes, Miss.
15
00:02:57,364 --> 00:02:59,365
And this address is
just off Berkeley Square.
16
00:02:59,637 --> 00:03:02,745
Go to the servant's entrance and
ask for Mr Blake. He's the butler.
17
00:03:02,990 --> 00:03:06,248
Say you've come from me with
a message for Lord Cardington.
18
00:03:06,501 --> 00:03:08,999
And will he give it to his
Lordship .. privately.
19
00:03:10,145 --> 00:03:11,726
Ellen, you aren't paying attention.
20
00:03:12,861 --> 00:03:14,130
But I am, Miss Fiske.
21
00:03:15,291 --> 00:03:16,862
What would be the best time to call?
22
00:03:18,183 --> 00:03:20,515
Harry always used to dine around eight.
23
00:03:21,648 --> 00:03:23,869
You call about half past seven.
- Yes, very well.
24
00:03:24,511 --> 00:03:25,441
You seem upset.
25
00:03:26,165 --> 00:03:27,082
Bad news?
26
00:03:28,607 --> 00:03:30,395
I don't want to bother
you with my troubles.
27
00:03:31,555 --> 00:03:33,845
It isn't a question of bothering
me with your troubles.
28
00:03:34,385 --> 00:03:36,059
You've become almost like my daughter.
29
00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:40,033
The letter is from my sisters,
Emily and Louisa.
30
00:03:40,723 --> 00:03:42,666
They're very unhappy back
in London without me.
31
00:03:43,371 --> 00:03:46,159
After all, I only saw them once since
I came to work for you, Miss Fiske.
32
00:03:46,627 --> 00:03:50,075
You'll see them today, won't you?
And everything will be alright, surely.
33
00:03:50,516 --> 00:03:51,365
Miss Fiske.
34
00:03:52,270 --> 00:03:53,239
Bates is coming.
35
00:03:53,677 --> 00:03:54,941
Tell him to hurry himself.
36
00:03:56,902 --> 00:04:00,083
My kind regards to your sisters, Ellen.
- Thank you, Miss Fiske.
37
00:04:05,516 --> 00:04:07,945
I've written them so much about you.
38
00:04:08,818 --> 00:04:10,041
How kind you've been.
39
00:04:10,952 --> 00:04:13,704
Stuff and nonsense.
I'm fond of you. You shouldn't ..
40
00:04:14,411 --> 00:04:16,314
Oh, a lovely juicy one.
41
00:04:18,629 --> 00:04:21,722
Perhaps you'll .. you might allow
them down for a little visit one day?
42
00:04:22,338 --> 00:04:24,174
Oh dear, look what the damp has done.
43
00:04:24,744 --> 00:04:27,291
Certainly, yes.
By all means. At any time.
44
00:04:27,661 --> 00:04:30,625
You know Lucy polished this
table all yesterday afternoon.
45
00:04:31,859 --> 00:04:34,142
Miss Fiske.
- Yes?
46
00:04:34,903 --> 00:04:36,139
It occurred to me that ..
47
00:04:36,694 --> 00:04:40,310
Since they've been so wretched lately,
and you may allow them to visit one day.
48
00:04:40,526 --> 00:04:42,677
Oh that? Yes, indeed. You tell them.
49
00:04:43,191 --> 00:04:45,776
Perhaps in the spring when
it's warm and sunny.
50
00:04:58,452 --> 00:05:01,788
Well .. what I was going to ask was ..
51
00:05:03,656 --> 00:05:06,019
Might I bring them back
with me this time? Now?
52
00:05:06,313 --> 00:05:08,044
Well now, Ellen.
- They won't be a bother.
53
00:05:08,260 --> 00:05:11,100
I promise Miss Fiske .. and it
will mean so much to them.
54
00:05:13,860 --> 00:05:17,056
Very well my dear. You bring with
you by all means. For a day or two.
55
00:05:17,531 --> 00:05:18,974
Thank you, Miss Fiske.
56
00:05:19,913 --> 00:05:22,776
I can't tell you how grateful I am.
- Well don't try, my dear.
57
00:05:23,612 --> 00:05:26,540
He's here, Miss.
- About time. The good-for-nothing.
58
00:05:29,731 --> 00:05:31,919
Ellen, have you got everything?
- Yes, Miss Fiske.
59
00:05:36,257 --> 00:05:37,214
Morning, ma'am.
60
00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:40,040
Bates, you might have been more prompt.
What on earth made you so late?
61
00:05:40,256 --> 00:05:44,233
Her. You can't gallop over the roads
with a lady in her delicate condition.
62
00:05:45,131 --> 00:05:46,985
She's going to throw a calf, she be.
63
00:05:47,329 --> 00:05:49,142
I'm taking her to the vets, I am.
64
00:05:49,580 --> 00:05:53,795
Kindly let her not throw any calves
until you get Miss Ellen to the station.
65
00:05:55,009 --> 00:05:58,324
Calves don't come by timetable, lady.
- Well trains do.
66
00:06:01,093 --> 00:06:02,789
Yes, ma'am.
- Goodbye, Miss Fiske.
67
00:06:03,093 --> 00:06:05,919
Goodbye, Miss Ellen.
- Goodbye, Lucy.
68
00:06:08,225 --> 00:06:10,399
Don't forget the allowance
from you-know-who.
69
00:06:10,690 --> 00:06:11,943
No, I shan't.
70
00:06:12,751 --> 00:06:13,558
Goodbye.
71
00:06:14,089 --> 00:06:15,295
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss.
72
00:06:16,549 --> 00:06:18,440
Alright now, there is a
day's work to be done.
73
00:06:43,285 --> 00:06:46,731
La, la, la .. la, la, la.
74
00:06:47,792 --> 00:06:51,445
This is nice. It's very, very nice.
- What's that you have there, Miss?
75
00:06:52,224 --> 00:06:55,022
It's called the New Comic Opera.
It's all the rage in London.
76
00:06:55,382 --> 00:06:56,355
The Mi-Ka-Do.
77
00:06:57,272 --> 00:06:58,355
Mikado.
78
00:06:59,483 --> 00:07:02,512
I used to tour the provinces with
the gentleman who sent it to me.
79
00:07:02,932 --> 00:07:05,701
Look, he signed it for me:
'Rutland Barington'.
80
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,844
'For my adored Leonora
with fond memories of ..'
81
00:07:12,167 --> 00:07:14,032
Never mind about that.
Go and do the dishes.
82
00:07:14,248 --> 00:07:15,034
Yes, Miss.
83
00:07:18,969 --> 00:07:23,159
<i>On a tree by a willow, a little tom-tit</i>.
84
00:07:23,685 --> 00:07:27,337
<i>Sang: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
85
00:07:27,860 --> 00:07:32,012
<i>And I said to him: dicky-bird,
why do you sit?</i>
86
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:36,024
<i>Singing: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
87
00:07:40,329 --> 00:07:41,550
Go on. Don't stop.
88
00:07:41,803 --> 00:07:45,343
Who are you? What are you doing here?
- Listening .. very nice too.
89
00:07:46,281 --> 00:07:48,810
What do you want?
- Ask me in and I'll tell you.
90
00:07:52,312 --> 00:07:55,617
Anyway young man, you may
come in .. but mind your manners.
91
00:07:56,854 --> 00:07:57,794
Alright, Miss.
92
00:08:06,770 --> 00:08:09,470
Isn't this where Miss Ellen Creed lives?
- Yes, she lives here.
93
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:12,146
What do you wish to see her about?
- It's a personal matter.
94
00:08:13,315 --> 00:08:15,156
She's my aunt. I'm Albert Feather.
95
00:08:15,372 --> 00:08:17,189
Your aunt?
- Right.
96
00:08:17,842 --> 00:08:20,039
Her mother was my stepfather's
uncle's second wife.
97
00:08:22,067 --> 00:08:24,058
And where do you come from?
- Gravesend.
98
00:08:24,649 --> 00:08:26,422
I .. I work in a bank there.
99
00:08:26,875 --> 00:08:28,891
It's a very long walk.
Hadn't you better sit down?
100
00:08:29,598 --> 00:08:30,640
Thank you.
101
00:08:33,063 --> 00:08:34,628
I'm afraid it's all been for nothing.
102
00:08:34,844 --> 00:08:37,420
Your aunt Ellen has gone to
London on some business for me.
103
00:08:38,218 --> 00:08:39,462
How long will she be away?
104
00:08:39,790 --> 00:08:41,215
A few days.
- A few?
105
00:08:43,071 --> 00:08:44,665
Blimey. That will be too late.
106
00:08:45,843 --> 00:08:47,270
Is there anything I can do?
107
00:08:47,764 --> 00:08:51,327
I'm Miss Fiske. Your aunt has been
working here as a housekeeper/companion.
108
00:08:52,049 --> 00:08:54,325
I didn't know.
I haven't seen her for five years.
109
00:08:56,066 --> 00:08:57,102
Can I help?
110
00:08:59,294 --> 00:09:00,176
I wonder.
111
00:09:00,570 --> 00:09:01,642
What's the trouble?
112
00:09:02,394 --> 00:09:03,435
Or is it trouble?
113
00:09:04,397 --> 00:09:07,440
It's trouble right enough.
I hardly like to tell you.
114
00:09:08,163 --> 00:09:09,437
Oh, I see.
115
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:11,115
What's the amount?
116
00:09:12,388 --> 00:09:14,291
Twelve pounds.
- How much?
117
00:09:14,952 --> 00:09:17,446
Twelve pounds.
- My goodness. That's a lot of money.
118
00:09:17,662 --> 00:09:19,564
I know. What's worse,
I must have it by tonight.
119
00:09:19,937 --> 00:09:21,177
I'm short at the bank.
120
00:09:21,937 --> 00:09:24,425
It means jail if I can't put it back
before the cashier checks up.
121
00:09:25,063 --> 00:09:27,092
Gambling?
- No. A girl.
122
00:09:28,525 --> 00:09:29,814
Are you engaged to her?
123
00:09:30,198 --> 00:09:31,426
No. She's an actress.
124
00:09:32,294 --> 00:09:34,143
She was in a travelling
company in Gravesend.
125
00:09:34,463 --> 00:09:36,933
What? At the Old Grand?
126
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:39,551
You know it?
- I played there.
127
00:09:40,084 --> 00:09:41,113
Years ago.
128
00:09:41,968 --> 00:09:43,041
You were an actress?
129
00:09:43,648 --> 00:09:45,054
Front row of the chorus.
130
00:09:45,889 --> 00:09:47,868
Fourth from the right.
131
00:09:48,396 --> 00:09:49,710
She was in the chorus too.
132
00:09:50,179 --> 00:09:51,820
I expect you took her out to supper.
133
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:54,542
Then she persuaded you to
go round the shops with her.
134
00:09:55,486 --> 00:09:56,610
How did you know?
135
00:09:58,034 --> 00:09:59,272
'Imagination', my boy.
136
00:10:01,410 --> 00:10:03,427
Anyway, she's over the hills
now to some other town.
137
00:10:03,731 --> 00:10:05,583
And with some other fool.
The little cheat.
138
00:10:10,573 --> 00:10:13,436
Don't worry any more about it.
I'll give you the twelve pounds.
139
00:10:14,686 --> 00:10:15,719
You will?
140
00:10:16,204 --> 00:10:19,080
Perhaps I owe it to you .. in a sense.
141
00:10:20,452 --> 00:10:21,783
Or to some other fool.
142
00:10:22,564 --> 00:10:23,754
You're a life-saver.
143
00:10:24,208 --> 00:10:26,940
Now you just wait here. I'll just
run upstairs and get my keys.
144
00:10:31,814 --> 00:10:33,378
A pity there aren't more like you.
145
00:10:33,970 --> 00:10:35,850
That my, lad, is a matter of opinion.
146
00:10:38,268 --> 00:10:40,807
Do you mind if I tickle on your ivories?
- No, do.
147
00:10:41,403 --> 00:10:42,190
Thank you.
148
00:10:46,990 --> 00:10:50,944
<i>It's the same the whole world over</i>.
149
00:10:52,269 --> 00:10:53,102
<i>It's</i> ..
150
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,183
<i>It's the poor what gets the blame</i>.
151
00:11:04,394 --> 00:11:08,374
<i>While the rich has all the pleasures</i>.
152
00:11:09,117 --> 00:11:12,780
<i>Now, ain't that the blinking shame</i>.
153
00:11:19,442 --> 00:11:20,183
Hello.
154
00:11:20,703 --> 00:11:21,996
You did scare me.
155
00:11:22,780 --> 00:11:24,167
I thought I was hearing things.
156
00:11:24,565 --> 00:11:25,460
You were.
157
00:11:25,819 --> 00:11:26,681
But I mean.
158
00:11:27,344 --> 00:11:28,245
A man's voice.
159
00:11:29,023 --> 00:11:30,360
So funny here.
160
00:11:32,142 --> 00:11:34,993
Doesn't the tide wash up
many male fish, my angel?
161
00:11:35,476 --> 00:11:38,023
A man is as scarce as
hansom cabs in these parts.
162
00:11:38,377 --> 00:11:40,049
That is, all but the old ones.
163
00:11:40,330 --> 00:11:43,699
The young ones go off to London or
some foreign parts as soon as they can.
164
00:11:44,405 --> 00:11:45,990
Are you going off to foreign parts?
165
00:11:46,537 --> 00:11:48,929
It depends.
- Depends on what?
166
00:11:49,541 --> 00:11:51,342
If anyone ever asks me.
167
00:11:52,252 --> 00:11:54,778
I shouldn't think with eyes like them
there would be any difficulty.
168
00:11:55,570 --> 00:11:56,438
Go on.
169
00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:59,288
What's your name?
- Lucy.
170
00:11:59,889 --> 00:12:02,390
What's yours?
- Albert. I'm Miss Creel's nephew.
171
00:12:02,791 --> 00:12:05,195
Funny .. I never heard about you.
172
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,223
That must be remedied.
173
00:12:09,483 --> 00:12:12,253
How about making the most of a male
fish now one has been washed up, eh?
174
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,043
What about a smacker?
- No, you mustn't.
175
00:12:15,952 --> 00:12:17,175
I don't know you.
176
00:12:17,650 --> 00:12:19,993
You needn't know people to kiss them.
- I do.
177
00:12:21,065 --> 00:12:22,481
Alright my girl. It's your loss.
178
00:12:23,722 --> 00:12:25,495
You think a lot of yourself, don't you?
179
00:12:36,494 --> 00:12:39,581
Has Lucy been entertaining you, Albert?
- Eh?
180
00:12:40,669 --> 00:12:42,777
She came in. We had a word or two.
181
00:12:43,910 --> 00:12:46,728
Nice looker, isn't she?
- I didn't notice.
182
00:12:47,252 --> 00:12:50,496
Come now, Albert.
Don't lose your sense of humour.
183
00:12:50,712 --> 00:12:53,147
I hope you're not one of those who
won't benefit from experience.
184
00:12:53,446 --> 00:12:57,232
Otherwise my twelve pounds
will be rather wasted, won't it.
185
00:12:58,006 --> 00:12:59,937
Don't you worry Miss Fiske.
I've had my lesson.
186
00:13:00,307 --> 00:13:01,631
I hope so.
187
00:13:05,189 --> 00:13:07,912
Now .. this is where we
keep our little hoard.
188
00:13:09,396 --> 00:13:11,055
It's an old bake-oven really.
189
00:13:12,795 --> 00:13:14,007
A proper tomb, isn't it?
190
00:13:15,288 --> 00:13:16,161
What's that?
191
00:13:16,603 --> 00:13:18,678
This is what they used to
pull the loaves out with.
192
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:24,941
Of course, we don't use it as a
bake-oven. Hasn't been used in years.
193
00:13:30,894 --> 00:13:31,880
Now then.
194
00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:34,726
Twelve pounds, I think you said.
195
00:13:35,604 --> 00:13:37,505
You couldn't make if fifteen?
- No, I couldn't.
196
00:13:37,721 --> 00:13:38,593
You couldn't?
197
00:13:40,918 --> 00:13:42,648
Do I give you an I.O.U.?
198
00:13:43,001 --> 00:13:44,040
No thank you.
199
00:13:44,453 --> 00:13:45,721
This isn't a loan.
200
00:13:46,087 --> 00:13:49,548
I shouldn't like you to incur the
remorse of not paying it back.
201
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:51,267
You are a daisy.
202
00:13:53,929 --> 00:13:55,680
Very prettily done, Albert.
203
00:14:00,308 --> 00:14:02,327
Now, let's forget all about it.
204
00:14:04,460 --> 00:14:06,870
If you came next week, you'd have
found three of your aunts here.
205
00:14:07,162 --> 00:14:09,049
Ellen is bringing her
sisters back from London.
206
00:14:09,406 --> 00:14:11,513
What, the potty ones?
- Potty?
207
00:14:11,729 --> 00:14:13,188
Queer as mice in a cage.
208
00:14:14,466 --> 00:14:16,775
They're quite harmless.
Especially when aunt Ellen's around.
209
00:14:17,257 --> 00:14:20,141
For comfort, they're coming
to stay here for a few days.
210
00:14:20,646 --> 00:14:23,031
They seem to mean quite a
great deal to your aunt Ellen.
211
00:14:23,247 --> 00:14:24,573
Oh, they would.
212
00:14:25,219 --> 00:14:27,164
She's looked after them
since she was a kid.
213
00:14:27,426 --> 00:14:30,676
She's watched over them like they were
a couple of perishing babes-in-arms.
214
00:14:31,397 --> 00:14:34,292
I think that's very commendable of her.
- Perhaps, but ..
215
00:14:34,796 --> 00:14:36,355
Think of all the fun she's missing.
216
00:14:37,398 --> 00:14:40,282
What, for example?
- You know.
217
00:14:41,511 --> 00:14:42,582
I see.
218
00:14:43,201 --> 00:14:46,094
I have to be toddling along.
I'll pay you back as soon as I can.
219
00:14:51,506 --> 00:14:54,128
I'd appreciate if you don't mention
our little transaction to aunt Ellen.
220
00:14:54,344 --> 00:14:55,709
Very well. If you like.
221
00:14:56,156 --> 00:14:57,446
How about .. whatsername?
222
00:14:57,987 --> 00:15:00,717
Lucy? Oh she won't say anything.
I'll take care of that.
223
00:15:01,147 --> 00:15:01,848
Thanks.
224
00:15:04,128 --> 00:15:05,104
So long my lady.
225
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,428
And again from the heart. I'll never
forget your kindness as long as I live.
226
00:15:10,954 --> 00:15:12,887
I hope you live a great
deal longer than that.
227
00:15:41,690 --> 00:15:45,882
Isn't it funny, Ellen? You can't see
the wind and you can't touch it.
228
00:15:46,164 --> 00:15:47,202
But it's there.
229
00:15:48,220 --> 00:15:51,549
I think you'd better have this round
you, dear. It's getting quite chilly.
230
00:15:52,323 --> 00:15:54,061
Listen .. what's that?
231
00:15:54,324 --> 00:15:56,455
Those are The Priory bells, dear.
From over the marshes.
232
00:15:56,671 --> 00:15:58,875
Oh .. I shan't like that.
233
00:16:00,388 --> 00:16:03,269
She hates bells.
- Especially church bells.
234
00:16:03,959 --> 00:16:06,415
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong.
235
00:16:06,823 --> 00:16:08,452
Aren't the marshes pretty.
236
00:16:09,396 --> 00:16:11,378
The grass is too long and untidy.
237
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,566
If I had a knife and a bit of string,
I'd cut it and tie it up in bundles.
238
00:16:18,823 --> 00:16:21,809
Are there any sheep here on the marshes?
- Yes, Miss.
239
00:16:22,119 --> 00:16:25,040
I think sheep are so clever to
chew their cud the way they do.
240
00:16:25,490 --> 00:16:26,918
It's very difficult.
241
00:16:27,875 --> 00:16:29,030
I've tried.
242
00:16:31,415 --> 00:16:34,749
You ought to be a sailor, Miss.
They're always chewing tobacco.
243
00:16:35,584 --> 00:16:37,415
The man I was to marry was a sailor.
244
00:16:38,195 --> 00:16:39,482
He gave me this.
245
00:16:40,242 --> 00:16:42,105
It's all I have to remember him by.
246
00:16:43,219 --> 00:16:44,631
He was wrecked at sea.
247
00:16:46,036 --> 00:16:47,692
They were all drowned.
248
00:16:48,609 --> 00:16:50,781
It must have been a bit of
sadness for you, Missy.
249
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,617
Oh no. I've quite forgotten
what he looked like.
250
00:16:53,867 --> 00:16:58,114
I saw a drowned man once. They took
him out of the Thames. He was green.
251
00:16:59,726 --> 00:17:00,800
Frogs.
252
00:17:01,614 --> 00:17:03,598
There must be lots of frogs.
253
00:17:04,872 --> 00:17:07,194
We used to have such
fun with them at home.
254
00:17:07,942 --> 00:17:11,767
We used to put them on the dining-table
and make them jump in the marmalade pot.
255
00:17:24,590 --> 00:17:27,124
Look. There's a bird's nest.
- So there is.
256
00:17:27,425 --> 00:17:29,585
It must be last summer's.
- I should like to have that.
257
00:17:29,801 --> 00:17:30,956
Bates, stop please.
258
00:17:33,961 --> 00:17:35,709
Oh .. I have it.
259
00:17:37,576 --> 00:17:40,244
Isn't it beautiful?
- Oh dear, it's all cobwebby.
260
00:17:41,088 --> 00:17:43,437
And it has a horrid smell.
- It mustn't be wasted.
261
00:17:43,773 --> 00:17:46,676
I shall save it until next year
and then I'll put it back again.
262
00:17:47,792 --> 00:17:49,568
Who knows where we'll be next year?
263
00:17:50,919 --> 00:17:53,493
Not in London anyway. You promised that.
264
00:17:54,646 --> 00:17:56,807
Yes, I promised that.
- Look.
265
00:17:59,651 --> 00:18:02,019
Louisa .. how did that happen?
266
00:18:02,290 --> 00:18:03,334
She did it.
- Who?
267
00:18:03,721 --> 00:18:04,985
That woman in London.
268
00:18:05,980 --> 00:18:08,599
She didn't give us enough food either.
- 'Discipline' she said.
269
00:18:09,276 --> 00:18:11,196
Louisa used to cry all night.
270
00:18:11,605 --> 00:18:13,863
I didn't. She couldn't discipline me.
271
00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:17,371
We'll be alright here
though with Miss Fiske.
272
00:18:17,911 --> 00:18:18,927
She won't beat us.
273
00:18:20,371 --> 00:18:22,086
No darling, she won't beat you.
274
00:18:23,299 --> 00:18:24,774
No-one will again. Ever.
275
00:18:35,203 --> 00:18:38,132
Now remember what I told you both.
You're not to talk too much.
276
00:18:38,505 --> 00:18:40,175
Wait until Miss Fiske knows you better.
277
00:18:40,391 --> 00:18:42,433
How can she get to know
us better if we don't talk?
278
00:18:43,833 --> 00:18:45,955
Come along dear.
Bates, get the luggage, will you.
279
00:18:46,171 --> 00:18:47,147
Yes, ma'am.
280
00:18:55,788 --> 00:18:57,441
They look harmless.
- What, Miss?
281
00:18:58,044 --> 00:19:00,065
Never mind. Go and put the kettle on.
- Yes, Miss.
282
00:19:07,201 --> 00:19:09,332
Well, here we are.
- I'm glad.
283
00:19:09,821 --> 00:19:12,750
Miss Fiske .. my sister
Emily, my sister Louisa.
284
00:19:13,012 --> 00:19:15,614
How do you do, Emily?
- We're very glad to be here.
285
00:19:16,355 --> 00:19:18,625
Louisa.
- I don't like people to touch me.
286
00:19:20,092 --> 00:19:22,203
I'm afraid Miss Fiske will
think you're very rude.
287
00:19:22,637 --> 00:19:25,893
They're rather tired, poor dears.
- I never get tired.
288
00:19:26,246 --> 00:19:28,424
I sometimes walk about
the house all night.
289
00:19:29,354 --> 00:19:32,358
Do you indeed?
- No, of course she doesn't, Miss Fiske.
290
00:19:35,582 --> 00:19:37,090
What beautiful furniture.
291
00:19:37,766 --> 00:19:40,401
Just like we used to have
before we lost all our money.
292
00:19:40,705 --> 00:19:44,104
Some of these <i>are </i>our things, dear.
Miss Fiske bought them at my Curio Shop.
293
00:19:44,499 --> 00:19:45,716
I want my tea.
294
00:19:45,982 --> 00:19:49,687
Emily, see .. here's the
grand champ himself.
295
00:19:50,198 --> 00:19:52,303
Remember when father bought him for us?
296
00:19:52,874 --> 00:19:54,913
I wonder if his head still nods.
297
00:19:55,230 --> 00:19:57,850
Ding-dong, ding-dong ..
- Louisa, dear.
298
00:19:58,188 --> 00:20:00,094
Bates, be careful.
You'll scratch the furniture.
299
00:20:00,329 --> 00:20:01,719
Very good, ma'am.
300
00:20:07,149 --> 00:20:09,201
I must say you've brought
enough luggage with you.
301
00:20:09,549 --> 00:20:11,220
We've brought everything.
- Everything?
302
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,760
We had to.
- Why?
303
00:20:13,089 --> 00:20:14,453
When they sent for the police.
304
00:20:14,787 --> 00:20:17,483
Now, my dears. I'm sure all this
can't possibly interest Miss Fiske.
305
00:20:17,819 --> 00:20:19,779
I think we should go up
and rest a bit before tea.
306
00:20:20,125 --> 00:20:22,023
Whatever you say, Ellen.
- Come along, Emily.
307
00:20:22,239 --> 00:20:24,948
That smelly train was very dirty.
308
00:20:25,188 --> 00:20:28,708
She's always fussing about the dirt.
I hope you keep things tidy here.
309
00:20:28,924 --> 00:20:32,483
Cleanliness is next to
Godliness .. don't you agree?
310
00:20:33,018 --> 00:20:35,985
Well .. I'm quite clean, I believe.
311
00:20:36,652 --> 00:20:39,005
But I don't know that
I'm particularly Godly.
312
00:20:39,668 --> 00:20:41,267
I thought you were a Roman.
313
00:20:41,837 --> 00:20:42,824
Isn't that yours?
314
00:20:43,077 --> 00:20:45,458
Miss Fiske is a Roman, dear.
And a very devoted one.
315
00:20:45,929 --> 00:20:47,614
Come along Louisa, Emily.
316
00:20:47,957 --> 00:20:50,102
Father, didn't approve of Romans.
317
00:20:52,032 --> 00:20:53,290
And neither do I.
318
00:21:13,724 --> 00:21:16,116
I expect it's one of those boobies.
319
00:21:16,588 --> 00:21:20,641
Miss Emily was drawing cat's faces on
brown paper yesterday when you were out.
320
00:21:21,138 --> 00:21:23,357
I can't stand it. I can't stand it.
321
00:21:23,721 --> 00:21:26,634
My lovely paisley shawl. It's ruined.
322
00:21:27,927 --> 00:21:31,189
You'd better get some vinegar and see
if you can do something about this spot.
323
00:21:31,443 --> 00:21:32,256
Yes, Miss.
324
00:21:32,810 --> 00:21:35,900
I'm utterly exhausted clearing
up after their messes.
325
00:21:36,172 --> 00:21:38,204
I don't wonder, Miss. So am I.
326
00:21:38,529 --> 00:21:42,030
And you should see their
bedroom. It's like a goat's-pen.
327
00:21:42,483 --> 00:21:45,783
I know it. If it isn't one
thing, it's another.
328
00:21:46,153 --> 00:21:49,633
For the last six weeks were like living
in the middle of Piccadilly Circus.
329
00:21:50,566 --> 00:21:52,478
My heart won't stand it.
330
00:21:53,336 --> 00:21:55,144
Go and get my smelling salts.
331
00:21:56,829 --> 00:21:59,720
Where are they, Miss?
- In the usual place, of course.
332
00:21:59,984 --> 00:22:01,928
Nothing is in the usual
place these days.
333
00:22:02,169 --> 00:22:02,822
No.
334
00:22:03,664 --> 00:22:05,532
Well then, get me a cold compress.
335
00:22:06,303 --> 00:22:09,597
I shall lie down and
take a nap while I can.
336
00:22:13,641 --> 00:22:14,627
Miss Fiske.
337
00:22:14,950 --> 00:22:18,862
Yes, what is it? What is it?
- Will they be staying much longer?
338
00:22:20,743 --> 00:22:23,049
They'll have my invitation
to go this evening.
339
00:22:26,420 --> 00:22:30,273
Oh dear, I wonder where Emily has
gone to. She ought to be back by now.
340
00:22:31,513 --> 00:22:33,331
I can't see her anywhere.
341
00:22:33,776 --> 00:22:37,997
I wish I were brave like Emily.
I should like to take long walks too.
342
00:22:38,404 --> 00:22:40,016
And pick up things.
343
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,248
Perhaps I shall be able to
after we've stayed here longer.
344
00:22:44,902 --> 00:22:46,145
I'm sure you will, dear.
345
00:22:46,442 --> 00:22:48,530
I shall be staying here, shan't I?
346
00:22:49,544 --> 00:22:52,354
You're not planning to send us away?
Are you, Ellen?
347
00:22:53,227 --> 00:22:54,739
No dear. Of course I'm not.
348
00:22:55,199 --> 00:22:57,189
This is what you've always promised us.
349
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,885
A little place in the country
where we can always be safe.
350
00:23:01,424 --> 00:23:04,604
Yes .. it's the one thing
I've been working for.
351
00:23:05,415 --> 00:23:07,236
Ever since we had to
give up the old house.
352
00:23:07,574 --> 00:23:10,567
Naturally, Estuary House
could never be like that.
353
00:23:11,114 --> 00:23:12,511
But it's nice enough.
354
00:23:12,898 --> 00:23:14,774
Yes, and Miss Fiske has
been very kind to us.
355
00:23:15,471 --> 00:23:18,924
Miss Fiske .. may I tell
you something, Ellen?
356
00:23:19,743 --> 00:23:21,102
Just one of my secrets.
357
00:23:21,866 --> 00:23:22,931
Of course you may.
358
00:23:23,717 --> 00:23:25,589
I don't like Miss Fiske.
359
00:23:27,025 --> 00:23:30,951
Couldn't we send her away? Then it
would <i>really</i> be just the three of us.
360
00:23:31,260 --> 00:23:33,656
But I keep telling you,
Louisa. It's <i>her</i> house.
361
00:23:34,059 --> 00:23:36,189
Oh no. You'll never
make me believe that.
362
00:23:36,987 --> 00:23:38,457
All out lovely things are there.
363
00:23:39,795 --> 00:23:43,336
We'll never have to go away, will we?
- No, darling. I promised you.
364
00:23:44,163 --> 00:23:44,998
Never.
365
00:23:46,020 --> 00:23:48,323
I think Miss Fiske wants us to go.
366
00:23:49,091 --> 00:23:50,341
Both of us.
367
00:23:50,928 --> 00:23:52,812
I'm sure I can persuade
her to let you stay.
368
00:23:54,613 --> 00:23:56,349
Oh dear, I do wish Emily would come.
369
00:23:56,602 --> 00:23:58,912
Maybe we'd better get along
home in case she's waiting there.
370
00:23:59,701 --> 00:24:00,838
Come along, dear.
371
00:24:01,945 --> 00:24:04,810
I don't want her upsetting Miss Fiske
again. She can be very tactless.
372
00:24:23,370 --> 00:24:25,220
Here girl, take this.
373
00:24:25,436 --> 00:24:27,267
Thanks a lot. What are we to do with it?
374
00:24:27,506 --> 00:24:29,709
Put it in the woodshed,
where it belongs.
375
00:24:29,962 --> 00:24:33,268
The woodshed is full. I won't have
you cluttering up my kitchen with it.
376
00:24:33,731 --> 00:24:35,093
Very well then.
377
00:24:44,580 --> 00:24:46,788
Oh dear ..
378
00:24:48,844 --> 00:24:50,225
What is it now?
379
00:24:54,808 --> 00:24:56,535
Wait until Miss Fiske sees this.
380
00:24:57,306 --> 00:24:59,938
What's the matter now? My goodness.
381
00:25:00,154 --> 00:25:02,116
More wood?
- Yes. Miss Emily dumped it.
382
00:25:02,602 --> 00:25:04,986
Never mind. You get out of here.
- I got a nice lot today.
383
00:25:05,672 --> 00:25:08,305
What are you thinking of? Making a
mess with it all over my clean floor.
384
00:25:08,521 --> 00:25:10,394
The girl wouldn't let
me put it in the kitchen.
385
00:25:10,671 --> 00:25:13,708
She's quite right. I told you to stop
bringing in wood. We have enough.
386
00:25:13,924 --> 00:25:16,497
I must tidy up the river
banks. I hate waste.
387
00:25:16,713 --> 00:25:18,995
And I hate litter. Now you
clear it away immediately.
388
00:25:19,239 --> 00:25:21,201
I won't be ordered to do things.
389
00:25:22,767 --> 00:25:24,118
This is too much.
390
00:25:24,496 --> 00:25:26,293
My best polished table.
391
00:25:26,789 --> 00:25:28,933
Look how these shells have scratched it.
392
00:25:29,269 --> 00:25:31,965
What's this? Wet seaweed and a horrid ..
393
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,604
Dead bird.
394
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,561
Leave my bird alone. And my shells.
395
00:25:37,060 --> 00:25:38,248
They are my treasures.
396
00:25:38,610 --> 00:25:41,515
We don't understand expensive things.
It's so long since we had any.
397
00:25:41,981 --> 00:25:44,044
I know it's very simple of me.
But I am simple.
398
00:25:44,260 --> 00:25:46,087
Emily .. what's wrong?
399
00:25:46,309 --> 00:25:48,986
I hate her. She threw my
bird into the fireplace.
400
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,507
Emily, control yourself.
401
00:25:50,723 --> 00:25:52,603
See what she's done
with her ridiculous shells.
402
00:25:52,885 --> 00:25:54,816
It will take a month's
polishing to put it right.
403
00:25:55,032 --> 00:25:56,708
I'm sorry Miss Fiske, I'll put it right.
404
00:25:57,276 --> 00:26:00,394
No Ellen, you shan't. I'll do it.
Let me do it. I'll polish it.
405
00:26:00,610 --> 00:26:02,434
Every day, all through the winter.
406
00:26:02,769 --> 00:26:05,511
Sweet of you, Louisa. But I doubt
you'll be here through the winter.
407
00:26:05,969 --> 00:26:07,630
But we shall. Ellen said so.
408
00:26:07,953 --> 00:26:10,046
You're mistaken, Louisa.
I said nothing of the kind.
409
00:26:10,262 --> 00:26:12,701
But you did. You promised.
- Louisa, will you be quiet.
410
00:26:16,013 --> 00:26:18,157
My heavens. This is the last straw.
411
00:26:18,802 --> 00:26:20,996
You'll drive me as crazy as yourselves.
412
00:26:24,448 --> 00:26:25,406
Oh, Ellen.
413
00:26:27,312 --> 00:26:28,535
Miss Fiske.
414
00:26:29,134 --> 00:26:31,588
I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to say that, but ..
415
00:26:32,377 --> 00:26:34,890
I've had about as much as I can endure.
416
00:26:36,396 --> 00:26:39,219
Emily .. take Louisa upstairs.
417
00:26:39,889 --> 00:26:41,482
Now, stop your crying, Louisa.
418
00:26:42,358 --> 00:26:44,045
There's nothing to cry about.
419
00:26:45,286 --> 00:26:46,141
Do you hear?
420
00:26:46,743 --> 00:26:48,817
Go upstairs. Both of you.
421
00:26:51,981 --> 00:26:53,380
And close the door behind you.
422
00:26:58,271 --> 00:27:00,113
That was a cruel thing to say.
423
00:27:00,788 --> 00:27:01,944
But it's true.
424
00:27:02,778 --> 00:27:06,123
One with her telescope and the other
with her mania for collecting things.
425
00:27:06,703 --> 00:27:08,149
They are insane, both of them.
426
00:27:08,609 --> 00:27:10,479
Please don't use that word again.
427
00:27:11,078 --> 00:27:12,310
Emily was right.
428
00:27:12,956 --> 00:27:14,664
But then people who
have all they want ..
429
00:27:15,013 --> 00:27:17,979
Never understand how much the smallest
things mean to those who haven't.
430
00:27:18,345 --> 00:27:19,046
Really?
431
00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:21,362
I don't think this calls for a sermon.
432
00:27:22,276 --> 00:27:24,365
I've been more than generous
to you and your sisters.
433
00:27:24,581 --> 00:27:26,750
People have always been very
generous to you, Miss Fiske.
434
00:27:26,966 --> 00:27:29,126
My sisters and I have never had
friends to send <i>us</i> money.
435
00:27:29,379 --> 00:27:31,480
That's hardly my fault, is it.
- No.
436
00:27:31,793 --> 00:27:35,189
Don't you feel you have a responsibility
to those less fortunate than you?
437
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,615
I don't know what you're talking about.
438
00:27:38,441 --> 00:27:40,476
Life hasn't been very
kind to us, Miss Fiske.
439
00:27:40,817 --> 00:27:42,798
Every penny we've ever
had, I've had to work for.
440
00:27:43,014 --> 00:27:45,706
Every penny. But at least
we have our self-respect.
441
00:27:47,024 --> 00:27:48,654
How dare you.
442
00:27:49,634 --> 00:27:51,866
How dare you criticise my life.
443
00:27:52,216 --> 00:27:55,606
Do you think I don't envy women who
have respectability? Who have families?
444
00:27:55,822 --> 00:27:58,890
Who aren't just forgotten and pensioned
off when they lose their stock-in-trade.
445
00:27:59,208 --> 00:28:01,196
Then you can't blame me
for fighting for my family.
446
00:28:01,412 --> 00:28:03,466
Very admirable, but it's
your family and not mine.
447
00:28:03,941 --> 00:28:05,065
Let me tell you this.
448
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,935
Your sisters, insane or not,
have overstayed their welcome.
449
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,611
I invite them here for two days
and they've stayed six weeks.
450
00:28:10,827 --> 00:28:13,450
Or perhaps you were planning
to keep them here forever?
451
00:28:14,485 --> 00:28:16,324
Well .. I had thought ..
452
00:28:17,124 --> 00:28:19,622
That I might pay something out
of my wages for their keep.
453
00:28:19,895 --> 00:28:22,261
Ellen, you're a hypocrite.
You're worse, you're a cheat.
454
00:28:22,937 --> 00:28:26,279
You meant to foist your wretched
brood on me and bleed me white.
455
00:28:26,626 --> 00:28:30,814
And when I saw through your scheme, you
had the insolence to turn and abuse me.
456
00:28:31,124 --> 00:28:32,701
But you've chosen the wrong woman.
457
00:28:32,917 --> 00:28:35,255
You get those sisters of yours
out of this house at once.
458
00:28:35,604 --> 00:28:37,644
And take a month's wages
and go with them.
459
00:28:39,743 --> 00:28:40,815
Miss Fiske.
460
00:29:08,710 --> 00:29:11,039
Ellen .. why aren't you in bed?
461
00:29:11,451 --> 00:29:13,179
Why are you prowling about at this hour?
462
00:29:13,761 --> 00:29:16,786
Miss Fiske, may I come in?
I must talk with you, please.
463
00:29:17,357 --> 00:29:18,516
Well, mind your tongue.
464
00:29:18,764 --> 00:29:20,987
We don't want any more of
this afternoon's unpleasantness.
465
00:29:23,612 --> 00:29:24,936
I'm sorry about that.
466
00:29:25,715 --> 00:29:27,833
I was wrong. I shouldn't
have spoken to you as I did.
467
00:29:28,791 --> 00:29:30,462
No .. you shouldn't.
468
00:29:37,617 --> 00:29:38,744
Miss Fiske.
469
00:29:39,702 --> 00:29:42,303
Do you remember the letter that arrived
the day I went away to London?
470
00:29:42,556 --> 00:29:46,058
Yes .. what about it?
- It was from their landlady.
471
00:29:46,613 --> 00:29:47,747
Emily and Louisa.
472
00:29:48,187 --> 00:29:49,552
Had been a little difficult.
473
00:29:49,893 --> 00:29:51,137
She'd sent for the police.
474
00:29:52,329 --> 00:29:54,369
They were going to be
put away in an institution.
475
00:29:54,764 --> 00:29:57,034
The landlady was quite right.
That's where they belong.
476
00:29:57,393 --> 00:30:00,433
But Miss Fiske, you don't
understand. They're my sisters.
477
00:30:00,820 --> 00:30:02,707
You don't know what I've
gone through for them.
478
00:30:02,923 --> 00:30:05,036
They've no-one else in the
world to turn to but me.
479
00:30:05,740 --> 00:30:08,948
I pleaded with the police to release
them. They agreed on one condition.
480
00:30:09,533 --> 00:30:11,458
That they were to remain
in my personal care.
481
00:30:11,740 --> 00:30:13,336
That I was to be responsible for them.
482
00:30:13,787 --> 00:30:15,440
And if there were any more complaints.
483
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,522
That they were to be put away forever.
That's why I can't send them away.
484
00:30:19,825 --> 00:30:21,889
All this devotion is
very admirable, Ellen.
485
00:30:22,285 --> 00:30:24,471
But I fail to see how I can
help in any way at all.
486
00:30:24,801 --> 00:30:26,903
Oh but you can. You can, Miss Fiske.
487
00:30:27,618 --> 00:30:29,823
I thought perhaps they
might use the attic upstairs.
488
00:30:30,162 --> 00:30:32,379
They'll stay there out of the
way where you don't see them.
489
00:30:32,716 --> 00:30:34,876
They could use the back stairs
when they come in and out.
490
00:30:35,129 --> 00:30:37,055
Ellen, what are you talking about?
491
00:30:37,271 --> 00:30:40,267
I promise they'll never come near you.
You'll never know they're in the house.
492
00:30:40,829 --> 00:30:43,797
I'll look after them myself.
I'll cook their meals for them.
493
00:30:44,387 --> 00:30:46,231
I promise they won't
be any more trouble.
494
00:30:46,913 --> 00:30:49,120
Miss Fiske, they must
be with me, they must.
495
00:30:49,439 --> 00:30:51,590
I'll pay for their keep.
I'll work for nothing.
496
00:30:51,834 --> 00:30:54,509
Please .. oh, please Miss Fiske.
497
00:30:54,829 --> 00:30:56,720
Ellen, have you quite
gone out of your mind?
498
00:30:57,064 --> 00:31:00,126
You must be blind if you can't realise
they'd always be getting in my way.
499
00:31:00,342 --> 00:31:02,612
You pack them off tomorrow.
- But, Miss Fiske. Won't ..?
500
00:31:02,828 --> 00:31:04,369
No Ellen, my mind is made up.
501
00:31:05,471 --> 00:31:09,239
If you want to, you can stay here a few
days until you've found a new situation.
502
00:31:10,018 --> 00:31:12,814
Now run along to bed. And make
certain they leave tomorrow.
503
00:31:14,132 --> 00:31:16,592
You wouldn't want me to be sending
for the police, would you?
504
00:31:18,682 --> 00:31:20,329
Goodnight Ellen. I'm tired.
505
00:31:24,230 --> 00:31:25,186
Goodnight.
506
00:31:48,528 --> 00:31:50,908
But you told her you were
going to send us away.
507
00:31:52,592 --> 00:31:54,344
I'm not going to send you away.
508
00:31:54,732 --> 00:31:56,620
We heard you. We were listening.
509
00:31:57,784 --> 00:31:59,386
Isn't she terrible, Ellen?
510
00:32:00,207 --> 00:32:01,536
She's wicked.
511
00:32:03,006 --> 00:32:04,907
I'm not going to send you away.
512
00:32:06,836 --> 00:32:07,678
Never.
513
00:32:08,554 --> 00:32:11,269
If you're not sending us away,
what are you going to do?
514
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,293
I don't know.
515
00:32:16,674 --> 00:32:17,831
I must think.
516
00:32:30,078 --> 00:32:32,550
I've always wanted
to explore an old castle.
517
00:32:32,971 --> 00:32:35,857
Will it have a dungeon do you think?
- They all have dungeons.
518
00:32:36,191 --> 00:32:36,978
With bats.
519
00:32:37,415 --> 00:32:39,138
No, dear. Bats are in belfries.
520
00:32:39,459 --> 00:32:43,180
There's sure to be secret passageways
and places where they'd hide things.
521
00:32:45,198 --> 00:32:46,346
Like that.
522
00:32:54,259 --> 00:32:58,372
Yes .. I'm sure Miss Fiske has lots
of exciting things hidden in there.
523
00:32:58,588 --> 00:33:00,212
Her jewels, I'm sure.
524
00:33:01,019 --> 00:33:04,181
I've looked in all her boxes and
haven't been able to find them.
525
00:33:04,718 --> 00:33:07,167
Are you both ready?
- Oh yes. Quite.
526
00:33:07,404 --> 00:33:10,004
I managed to pack all
the lunch into one bag.
527
00:33:10,660 --> 00:33:11,630
Mine.
528
00:33:12,914 --> 00:33:15,600
Come here and sit down.
I want to talk to you both.
529
00:33:25,193 --> 00:33:25,808
Now.
530
00:33:26,107 --> 00:33:28,868
I haven't told you the real reason why
you're being sent away for a whole day.
531
00:33:29,589 --> 00:33:32,633
The truth is I want to be entirely
alone with Miss Fiske for a few hours.
532
00:33:32,849 --> 00:33:34,817
Is that why you got rid of Lucy too?
533
00:33:35,131 --> 00:33:37,177
I didn't get rid of Lucy, Emily.
She had a toothache.
534
00:33:37,393 --> 00:33:40,293
Oh Ellen dear, you know that's
not true. She didn't want to go at all.
535
00:33:40,754 --> 00:33:42,833
I said she had a toothache, Louisa.
536
00:33:44,698 --> 00:33:45,628
Now listen.
537
00:33:46,220 --> 00:33:49,408
Last night, while you were both asleep,
I had a long talk with Miss Fiske.
538
00:33:50,131 --> 00:33:52,867
She's tired of the marshes
and wants to travel for a bit.
539
00:33:53,530 --> 00:33:55,633
I've persuaded her to
sell this house to me.
540
00:33:55,849 --> 00:33:58,210
Not really, Ellen?
- We haven't discussed price yet.
541
00:33:58,976 --> 00:34:02,422
That's why I must be alone with her, so
we can talk with nothing to distract us.
542
00:34:02,694 --> 00:34:05,355
She may want more than
you're prepared to pay.
543
00:34:07,101 --> 00:34:09,142
I'm prepared to pay
quite a big price, Emily.
544
00:34:09,569 --> 00:34:11,442
Oh, lovely, lovely, lovely.
545
00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:14,491
Oh Emily, aren't you excited?
- Louisa, be quiet.
546
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:17,415
Now, there's one more thing.
547
00:34:18,401 --> 00:34:19,716
The most important.
548
00:34:35,231 --> 00:34:36,722
You see this bible, both of you?
549
00:34:37,587 --> 00:34:39,899
I want you to swear on it.
By father's memory.
550
00:34:40,590 --> 00:34:43,550
That you'll never repeat a word of my
buying this house as long as you live.
551
00:34:45,940 --> 00:34:46,963
What do I say?
552
00:34:47,581 --> 00:34:48,963
Just say 'I swear'.
553
00:34:49,670 --> 00:34:51,113
Oh .. I swear.
554
00:34:51,554 --> 00:34:52,484
You too, Emily.
555
00:34:52,787 --> 00:34:54,831
I won't swear on the bible. It's wicked.
556
00:34:55,435 --> 00:34:56,571
If you don't Emily ..
557
00:34:56,869 --> 00:34:59,143
I shan't buy the house and I'll
send you both back to London.
558
00:34:59,426 --> 00:35:01,058
Oh Emily, be sensible.
559
00:35:01,660 --> 00:35:04,984
I don't like being made
to do things .. I promise.
560
00:35:05,604 --> 00:35:06,759
Now, remember.
561
00:35:07,527 --> 00:35:09,016
That's a sacred oath.
562
00:35:15,968 --> 00:35:18,162
Here's Bates. Hurry now.
There's no time to waste.
563
00:35:35,582 --> 00:35:38,805
Drive slowly Bates.
Please don't let them get cold.
564
00:35:39,425 --> 00:35:42,412
You can take your time. I shan't be
expecting you back before dusk.
565
00:35:42,815 --> 00:35:43,999
Very good, ma'am.
566
00:35:44,599 --> 00:35:47,698
Goodbye Ellen. I wish you could come.
- I wish you were coming too.
567
00:35:48,129 --> 00:35:49,432
Goodbye Ellen.
- Goodbye.
568
00:35:49,861 --> 00:35:50,855
Goodbye, dears.
569
00:35:51,341 --> 00:35:53,195
Have a good time.
- Thank you.
570
00:36:58,085 --> 00:36:59,246
I'm out of practice.
571
00:37:11,178 --> 00:37:14,210
To dear Louisa and dear Emily.
572
00:37:14,858 --> 00:37:16,359
May we never meet again.
573
00:37:22,767 --> 00:37:24,335
That is so good.
574
00:39:14,210 --> 00:39:16,013
[ Door knocks ]
575
00:39:20,175 --> 00:39:22,634
May we come in?
- Yes.
576
00:39:25,330 --> 00:39:28,536
I'd like to speak to Miss Ellen.
Unless Miss Fiske is back?
577
00:39:29,038 --> 00:39:32,096
No, she's still away. I'll fetch Ellen.
578
00:39:34,682 --> 00:39:36,292
We're making jam.
579
00:39:44,568 --> 00:39:45,883
Good evening.
580
00:39:46,963 --> 00:39:48,418
It isn't a very good one, is it?
581
00:39:48,747 --> 00:39:52,681
No, as a matter of fact it's not.
Cats and dogs.
582
00:39:55,747 --> 00:39:56,934
Good evening, Sisters.
583
00:39:57,318 --> 00:39:58,650
Sorry to keep you waiting.
584
00:39:58,866 --> 00:40:00,911
But we're in the middle of
putting up our quince jam.
585
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,087
Please don't apologise. I'm afraid
we've come on a begging errand.
586
00:40:04,550 --> 00:40:06,781
Our supplier of oil hasn't
arrived from Rochester.
587
00:40:07,225 --> 00:40:10,245
And the Reverend Mother wondered
if we might borrow a can until Sunday.
588
00:40:10,738 --> 00:40:12,225
Of course .. Lucy.
589
00:40:16,315 --> 00:40:17,179
Yes, Miss?
590
00:40:17,438 --> 00:40:19,874
Will you run out to the shed
and bring in a can of paraffin.
591
00:40:21,575 --> 00:40:22,653
Yes, Miss Ellen.
592
00:40:24,007 --> 00:40:25,588
Won't you sit down, Sisters?
593
00:40:50,207 --> 00:40:51,986
Hey. Shush ..
594
00:40:53,587 --> 00:40:54,636
You again.
595
00:40:55,191 --> 00:40:56,464
Bad pennies always turn up.
596
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,166
What are you doing here, hanging
about with the storm and all?
597
00:40:59,382 --> 00:41:01,834
I've a little business inside.
Had to ensure the coast was clear.
598
00:41:02,199 --> 00:41:03,901
What business?
- Listen, Lucky.
599
00:41:04,179 --> 00:41:05,963
Is Miss Fiske about?
- No, she's away.
600
00:41:06,198 --> 00:41:08,242
And my aunt Ellen?
- She's here right enough.
601
00:41:08,601 --> 00:41:11,306
And them two crazy sisters of hers.
- Does she know I've been here before?
602
00:41:11,776 --> 00:41:14,618
No. Mistress said not to say.
- Good. Get on with your work.
603
00:41:15,044 --> 00:41:17,096
I'll come in the front door
like a proper gentleman.
604
00:41:18,142 --> 00:41:20,067
Remember .. we don't know each other.
605
00:41:20,424 --> 00:41:22,135
Not that we shan't .. later.
606
00:41:22,483 --> 00:41:24,169
I'm very particular who I know.
607
00:41:30,205 --> 00:41:33,391
For a moment, when I saw the candles
burning, I thought Miss Fiske was back.
608
00:41:33,607 --> 00:41:35,165
Ellen's been lighting them lately.
609
00:41:35,381 --> 00:41:38,777
She thinks Miss Fiske would like her to.
She says it keeps her memory burning.
610
00:41:40,386 --> 00:41:42,024
When are you expecting her back?
611
00:41:42,607 --> 00:41:44,132
I really couldn't say, Sister.
612
00:41:44,649 --> 00:41:46,293
She hasn't written for over a fortnight.
613
00:41:46,601 --> 00:41:48,509
We were so surprised
to learn she'd gone.
614
00:41:48,986 --> 00:41:51,374
She hadn't mentioned she was
planning a journey anywhere.
615
00:41:51,718 --> 00:41:53,242
No. It was quite unexpected.
616
00:41:53,558 --> 00:41:56,143
She had a letter from some old
friends inviting her on a trip.
617
00:41:56,566 --> 00:41:58,438
As they were sailing
the very next morning.
618
00:41:58,858 --> 00:42:01,023
The Reverend Mother wonders
what to do about the rent.
619
00:42:01,426 --> 00:42:03,908
From the little 3-acre field
we hire from Miss Fiske.
620
00:42:04,610 --> 00:42:07,476
Well, I'm managing all her
affairs while she's away, Sister.
621
00:42:07,990 --> 00:42:10,527
If you send it to me, I'll forward
it when I get her next address.
622
00:42:10,929 --> 00:42:12,143
Here, Miss Ellen.
623
00:42:12,665 --> 00:42:14,460
Good evening, Sisters.
- Thank you.
624
00:42:14,676 --> 00:42:17,225
That seems heavy. Go with the
Sisters Lucy and give them a hand.
625
00:42:17,662 --> 00:42:20,237
That's very kind of you, Miss Ellen.
- We've been bother enough.
626
00:42:20,526 --> 00:42:23,279
I'll be glad to go. I'll get my cloak.
627
00:42:23,813 --> 00:42:27,025
I think you are so brave
going out in the dark. I ..
628
00:42:29,550 --> 00:42:31,983
I hate the dark .. it frightens me.
629
00:42:32,329 --> 00:42:33,522
It shouldn't, my dear.
630
00:42:33,962 --> 00:42:35,605
Don't you believe we're watched over?
631
00:42:35,929 --> 00:42:36,605
Yes.
632
00:42:36,916 --> 00:42:39,057
But I'm never quite sure
who is watching us.
633
00:42:40,248 --> 00:42:42,591
I'm quite ready.
- We'd better be going.
634
00:42:43,099 --> 00:42:45,775
Goodnight and thank you very much.
- Goodnight Sisters.
635
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:47,278
Goodnight.
636
00:42:49,166 --> 00:42:51,399
There dear, you carry the oil.
637
00:42:51,737 --> 00:42:53,833
And I'll hold the umbrella over us both.
638
00:42:55,061 --> 00:42:56,885
Goodnight again.
- Goodnight.
639
00:42:57,307 --> 00:42:58,265
Goodnight.
640
00:43:02,547 --> 00:43:04,002
I must get back to the jam.
641
00:43:09,740 --> 00:43:12,474
Ellen was unusually nice to
Sister Theresa, wasn't she.
642
00:43:12,982 --> 00:43:14,966
They were quite chatty together.
- Louisa.
643
00:43:15,572 --> 00:43:16,883
I think Ellen is changing.
644
00:43:17,727 --> 00:43:19,727
I hope she's not getting
in league with the nuns.
645
00:43:20,445 --> 00:43:21,260
Against us.
646
00:43:21,660 --> 00:43:24,500
Ellen would never do that.
- She's taken to lighting those candles.
647
00:43:26,228 --> 00:43:29,299
I think I'll blow them out.
- Ellen wouldn't like that.
648
00:43:37,250 --> 00:43:39,018
Why should she have
everything her own way?
649
00:43:45,983 --> 00:43:47,147
Emily.
650
00:43:47,882 --> 00:43:50,640
What have you done?
- Something I wanted to do.
651
00:43:53,975 --> 00:43:55,167
[ Door knocks ]
652
00:43:57,910 --> 00:44:02,446
Louisa .. answer the door dear. Sister
Theresa's probably forgotten something.
653
00:44:02,792 --> 00:44:04,069
[ Door knocks ]
654
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:15,529
Alright.
655
00:44:15,879 --> 00:44:17,664
Don't be like that. I won't eat you.
656
00:44:20,998 --> 00:44:22,181
Who are you?
657
00:44:24,238 --> 00:44:25,637
And what do you want?
658
00:44:28,407 --> 00:44:29,447
Dear aunt Ellen.
659
00:44:30,236 --> 00:44:31,460
After all these years.
660
00:44:33,102 --> 00:44:35,749
What a family reunion. I'm Albert.
Don't you remember me?
661
00:44:35,965 --> 00:44:36,876
Albert.
662
00:44:37,941 --> 00:44:40,363
Of course. Rose's boy.
- So it is.
663
00:44:40,644 --> 00:44:43,402
Fancy Albert being here.
- Where on earth did you come from?
664
00:44:43,771 --> 00:44:45,815
Gravesend .. on a duck's back.
665
00:44:46,335 --> 00:44:48,923
It's Albert right enough.
Always saying funny things.
666
00:44:49,151 --> 00:44:51,064
He's soaked through.
- Yes, so I see.
667
00:44:51,292 --> 00:44:53,195
Don't stand there dripping
all over my best rug.
668
00:44:53,411 --> 00:44:55,045
Go by the fire with your wet things.
669
00:44:55,353 --> 00:44:58,190
That's more like my loving auntie.
My very distant auntie.
670
00:44:59,169 --> 00:45:03,139
Now we'll have fun with Albert here.
I'll go and fetch him a dressing gown.
671
00:45:03,573 --> 00:45:06,231
And I'll get him a towel.
So he can dry himself.
672
00:45:16,093 --> 00:45:17,967
Blimey, if that don't half
make my mouth water.
673
00:45:18,244 --> 00:45:21,154
Some nice, tasty grub and something
warm to chase it down the hatchway.
674
00:45:21,586 --> 00:45:22,690
That's what I need.
675
00:45:23,023 --> 00:45:25,422
Albert, tell me. Why have you come here?
676
00:45:26,169 --> 00:45:28,530
That can wait until I'm dry outside.
And not so dry, in.
677
00:45:28,779 --> 00:45:30,060
There you are, Albert.
678
00:45:30,552 --> 00:45:31,975
Thanks, me old cup of tea.
679
00:45:32,431 --> 00:45:34,816
Emily, slice off some beef,
and put out the bread and cheese.
680
00:45:35,830 --> 00:45:38,158
A pint of half-and-half would
be the proper ticket with that.
681
00:45:38,374 --> 00:45:39,680
This isn't a Tavern, Albert.
682
00:45:40,391 --> 00:45:43,061
How about a spot of brandy to
take the damp out of my throat?
683
00:45:43,426 --> 00:45:45,228
I'm unsure there's any
left in the decanter.
684
00:45:45,444 --> 00:45:46,717
There's some in the cellar.
685
00:45:47,395 --> 00:45:49,813
A cellar, eh? Your Ladyship,
allow me to lead you to it.
686
00:45:50,487 --> 00:45:52,705
No .. I'll go myself.
687
00:45:54,020 --> 00:45:55,499
Make way for the Duchess.
688
00:46:27,321 --> 00:46:29,640
Blimey. The view from here
is the best on the marshes.
689
00:46:30,542 --> 00:46:33,481
I say auntie, is this all yours?
- No, of course not.
690
00:46:34,251 --> 00:46:36,166
It belongs to the woman
I work for. Miss Fiske.
691
00:46:37,011 --> 00:46:39,510
Where is she, might I ask?
- Away.
692
00:46:41,683 --> 00:46:44,148
Five years, auntie old girl.
- What of it?
693
00:46:44,453 --> 00:46:46,646
You've changed.
- You've not.
694
00:46:47,504 --> 00:46:50,373
The same big blue eyes though.
You're still Lady touch-me-not.
695
00:46:50,847 --> 00:46:53,265
Let go of me. I'm in no
mood for your foolishness.
696
00:46:54,208 --> 00:46:55,739
The way you seem to be all keyed up.
697
00:46:55,999 --> 00:46:58,072
A little of my foolishness
just might do you no harm.
698
00:47:01,721 --> 00:47:02,961
Here's your food, Albert.
699
00:47:04,313 --> 00:47:07,205
Run up to bed, both of you.
I want to talk with Albert.
700
00:47:07,421 --> 00:47:10,580
But we don't want to go to bed.
- No, we want to stay to talk to Albert.
701
00:47:10,905 --> 00:47:13,857
Go on, do as aunt Ellen says. Toddle off
to bye-byes like good little girls.
702
00:47:14,125 --> 00:47:16,821
Here, wait. Why don't you wet your
whistles. It will make you sleep tight.
703
00:47:17,178 --> 00:47:19,055
Sleep tight. Albert, you are silly.
704
00:47:19,553 --> 00:47:22,004
I don't think they'd better, Albert.
- What's the harm?
705
00:47:22,483 --> 00:47:24,708
You don't have a long-lost
nephew every night of the week.
706
00:47:25,121 --> 00:47:26,369
Fetch some glasses, Emily.
707
00:47:26,585 --> 00:47:29,797
Very well, but not too much now.
- Just a tiny thimbleful for me, Albert.
708
00:47:31,252 --> 00:47:32,688
How about you, aunt Ellen?
709
00:47:33,327 --> 00:47:34,716
Nothing for me, thank you.
710
00:47:37,757 --> 00:47:40,199
Now, my Siamese twins.
What about a toast, eh?
711
00:47:40,523 --> 00:47:41,905
I don't know any.
712
00:47:42,140 --> 00:47:44,008
In that case, here's to absent friends.
713
00:47:44,328 --> 00:47:45,464
Absent friends.
714
00:47:46,046 --> 00:47:48,543
Ellen, I suppose we
should think of Miss Fiske.
715
00:48:01,321 --> 00:48:03,604
Who put out those candles?
- What candles?
716
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,445
Oh those.
- It must have been the wind.
717
00:48:10,055 --> 00:48:11,998
Goodnight, Albert.
- Goodnight my lady.
718
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,204
Goodnight, Albert.
- Goodnight.
719
00:48:21,642 --> 00:48:23,379
It wasn't the wind, Ellen.
720
00:48:38,904 --> 00:48:41,109
I say auntie, you've not
turned Roman have you?
721
00:48:41,466 --> 00:48:42,763
I do this for a friend.
722
00:48:48,243 --> 00:48:49,129
Now, Albert.
723
00:48:49,869 --> 00:48:52,134
Let's stop all this 'auntie' nonsense
and get down to cases.
724
00:48:52,862 --> 00:48:54,748
Why have you come here
and what do you want?
725
00:48:55,073 --> 00:48:56,918
Well auntie .. I mean, Ellen.
726
00:48:57,692 --> 00:49:02,208
To cut it fine, I'm taking a compulsory
holiday from my bank over in Gravesend.
727
00:49:02,602 --> 00:49:05,107
In other words, you've lost your job.
- I've given it up.
728
00:49:05,738 --> 00:49:07,522
You haven't done anything
wrong, have you?
729
00:49:09,237 --> 00:49:11,605
I sort-of helped myself to a
little salary I wasn't entitled to.
730
00:49:12,885 --> 00:49:14,393
You mean, you've stolen money.
731
00:49:16,415 --> 00:49:19,181
This is rattling good brandy.
- Answer me, Albert.
732
00:49:21,270 --> 00:49:23,848
You've got it.
- How much?
733
00:49:24,594 --> 00:49:27,402
A small matter of a hundred pounds.
- I'll see.
734
00:49:30,342 --> 00:49:33,271
I suppose you want me to give you the
hundred pounds so you can put it back?
735
00:49:33,515 --> 00:49:36,477
I'm afraid it's too late for that.
They found out, the police.
736
00:49:37,180 --> 00:49:38,164
The police?
737
00:49:38,389 --> 00:49:42,016
A friend passed me the tip they were
coming. So I .. I took French leave.
738
00:49:42,455 --> 00:49:44,956
But .. they'll follow you.
They'll come here.
739
00:49:46,079 --> 00:49:49,774
Don't worry .. no-one knows I've got
relations out here on the marshes.
740
00:49:51,122 --> 00:49:52,699
I'll be safe here for a lifetime.
741
00:49:53,159 --> 00:49:55,319
You're certainly not going
to stay here for a lifetime.
742
00:49:55,769 --> 00:49:57,815
Surely you don't mind me
staying for a while, do you?
743
00:49:58,340 --> 00:50:00,745
Until it all blows over.
- Then what do you propose to do?
744
00:50:01,094 --> 00:50:03,725
Clear out of the country.
America, Australia. Any old where.
745
00:50:04,230 --> 00:50:06,552
I'm .. counting on you to help me.
746
00:50:06,868 --> 00:50:08,188
I need money for my passage.
747
00:50:08,631 --> 00:50:09,630
I'm .. I'm stony.
748
00:50:11,353 --> 00:50:13,246
It won't cost much. Steerage.
749
00:50:13,691 --> 00:50:15,882
I don't see why I should concern
myself with your affairs.
750
00:50:16,414 --> 00:50:17,870
I'll land in prison if you don't.
751
00:50:19,541 --> 00:50:22,420
You're not the sort to turn anybody down
who's in trouble and needed your help.
752
00:50:23,210 --> 00:50:24,969
You wouldn't fail your
own flesh and blood.
753
00:50:25,185 --> 00:50:27,020
I'm no flesh and blood of yours, Albert.
754
00:50:27,468 --> 00:50:29,199
Won't you give me a
chance to start again?
755
00:50:29,415 --> 00:50:30,734
I promise. Cross my heart.
756
00:50:31,090 --> 00:50:33,457
I'll never do anything wrong
again for the rest of my natural.
757
00:50:33,673 --> 00:50:35,143
Let me go.
758
00:50:41,301 --> 00:50:44,030
Very well. I'll do it.
- Bless you, Ellen.
759
00:50:44,415 --> 00:50:46,973
You're a daisy, you are.
- We'll talk about it in the morning.
760
00:50:47,820 --> 00:50:50,180
You can sleep on the sofa tonight.
- I don't mind where I sleep.
761
00:50:50,396 --> 00:50:51,419
But mind you ..
762
00:50:51,635 --> 00:50:54,218
You can only stay until I've
arranged your passage on the boat.
763
00:50:54,434 --> 00:50:57,466
Anything you say,
Ellen old girl .. what's that?
764
00:50:57,983 --> 00:50:59,945
That's just the maid.
She's been out on an errand.
765
00:51:01,006 --> 00:51:02,550
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss?
766
00:51:04,518 --> 00:51:06,220
They'll be a gentleman
staying the night.
767
00:51:06,639 --> 00:51:07,819
A gentleman staying?
768
00:51:08,099 --> 00:51:09,776
A relation. He'll sleep in here.
769
00:51:10,033 --> 00:51:12,679
Now go to your room and change your
wet clothes before you start sneezing.
770
00:51:12,895 --> 00:51:15,090
Yes, Miss .. goodnight.
- Goodnight.
771
00:51:15,306 --> 00:51:16,096
Goodnight.
772
00:51:16,620 --> 00:51:17,557
'Lucy', is it?
773
00:51:19,035 --> 00:51:20,472
Yes .. Lucy.
774
00:51:23,706 --> 00:51:25,687
I fancy that's all for
tonight, aunt Ellen.
775
00:51:26,138 --> 00:51:29,180
I'll just have a weed before
I turn in. The last of the day.
776
00:51:30,306 --> 00:51:32,729
You seem to be taking this
all very lightly, Albert.
777
00:51:33,490 --> 00:51:35,166
You have told me the worst, haven't you?
778
00:51:35,601 --> 00:51:38,110
I mean, there isn't anything else?
- What else?
779
00:51:40,653 --> 00:51:42,212
There are worse things than stealing.
780
00:51:42,987 --> 00:51:43,994
For instance?
781
00:51:45,828 --> 00:51:47,359
No, there's no blood on my hands.
782
00:51:47,743 --> 00:51:49,703
Putting people out calls
for <i>real </i>nerve, you know.
783
00:51:54,270 --> 00:51:55,303
Yes.
784
00:51:59,547 --> 00:52:01,321
Goodnight, Albert.
- Nighty night.
785
00:53:12,967 --> 00:53:15,145
Did you enjoy the sermon, Mr Bates?
786
00:53:15,603 --> 00:53:16,818
Mighty powerful, Miss.
787
00:53:17,293 --> 00:53:18,797
Yes. It was, wasn't it.
788
00:53:20,284 --> 00:53:22,109
But there was a lot I didn't understand.
789
00:53:23,490 --> 00:53:24,866
The part that went ..
790
00:53:25,639 --> 00:53:26,568
How was it?
791
00:53:27,496 --> 00:53:29,004
The wicked flee.
792
00:53:30,087 --> 00:53:32,717
When no man .. pursueth.
793
00:53:34,739 --> 00:53:36,575
But .. but ..
794
00:53:38,561 --> 00:53:41,233
The righteous are as bold as a lion.
795
00:54:08,319 --> 00:54:09,297
Well.
796
00:54:10,743 --> 00:54:12,479
What do you think you're doing?
797
00:54:13,690 --> 00:54:16,840
I fooled around with this padlock
last night and it .. came off.
798
00:54:17,592 --> 00:54:18,689
You shouldn't have.
799
00:54:19,344 --> 00:54:21,297
That's where Miss Fiske
keeps her valuables.
800
00:54:21,551 --> 00:54:23,794
How does she get at them?
With a pickaxe? Look.
801
00:54:25,898 --> 00:54:28,667
Well I never. All bricked up.
802
00:54:29,531 --> 00:54:31,248
I wonder why that was done.
803
00:54:31,530 --> 00:54:33,342
It wasn't that way the
last time I was here.
804
00:54:33,821 --> 00:54:35,868
So you've had your nose
in there before, have you?
805
00:54:36,948 --> 00:54:39,174
Funny what nasty thoughts
people have sometimes, isn't it.
806
00:54:39,390 --> 00:54:41,597
Funny how they're right
sometimes, isn't it.
807
00:54:59,037 --> 00:55:01,443
I wonder why anyone would want
to brick up a place like that?
808
00:55:02,492 --> 00:55:05,171
Maybe Miss Fiske put her jewels
in there before she went away.
809
00:55:05,807 --> 00:55:08,881
You know .. she's not one to take
any chances leaving them about.
810
00:55:09,234 --> 00:55:10,530
Even with your aunt Ellen.
811
00:55:12,817 --> 00:55:15,523
If there are any sparkles in there,
I wouldn't mind having a peep at them.
812
00:55:15,748 --> 00:55:18,262
I'm sure you wouldn't.
- And neither would you, I dare say.
813
00:55:19,833 --> 00:55:24,037
In fact .. I'm sure you'd like the feel
of some around your swan-like neck.
814
00:55:26,610 --> 00:55:28,629
A pretty pink ear like
that calls for diamonds.
815
00:55:29,014 --> 00:55:31,473
A wandering hand like yours
calls for a slap in the face.
816
00:55:31,821 --> 00:55:33,675
It's wicked to slap a
man's face on a Sunday.
817
00:55:33,981 --> 00:55:35,745
The better the day, the better the deed.
818
00:55:36,179 --> 00:55:37,595
That leaves my conscience clear.
819
00:55:42,243 --> 00:55:43,680
I'll scream.
820
00:55:45,098 --> 00:55:46,140
What's that?
821
00:55:52,703 --> 00:55:55,550
What do you think I'm made of?
- Sugar and spice.
822
00:55:56,874 --> 00:55:58,131
And everything nice.
823
00:56:01,849 --> 00:56:03,164
Blimey, you're strong.
824
00:56:06,001 --> 00:56:07,586
It's a wig. Whose is it?
825
00:56:08,854 --> 00:56:10,150
It is Miss Fiske's.
826
00:56:10,705 --> 00:56:12,391
Oh, it's her best one.
827
00:56:13,295 --> 00:56:15,239
She's as bald as a coot.
- Ah.
828
00:56:15,455 --> 00:56:17,042
A wonder she didn't take it with her.
829
00:56:18,291 --> 00:56:19,267
Hello.
830
00:56:19,605 --> 00:56:22,290
Ah, she left a lot of
her fancy dresses too.
831
00:56:23,063 --> 00:56:24,930
Perhaps she'll buy some
new ones up in London?
832
00:56:25,392 --> 00:56:26,938
These are new. Most of them.
833
00:56:27,918 --> 00:56:30,059
You'd better put that back up.
- Alright.
834
00:56:30,285 --> 00:56:31,783
Get up on this chair.
835
00:56:39,798 --> 00:56:41,554
You know, it <i>is</i> odd
she only took one wig.
836
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:45,357
On a trip, anything might happen.
A fire or a gust of wind.
837
00:56:45,751 --> 00:56:46,409
Oh.
838
00:56:47,720 --> 00:56:49,195
Here's Emily coming up the path.
839
00:56:50,109 --> 00:56:51,329
You'd better be off.
840
00:56:57,184 --> 00:56:58,794
Hello my old cup of tea.
841
00:57:00,310 --> 00:57:02,634
What are you doing with those
bull-rushes? Looking for Moses?
842
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,371
You're making fun of me .. naughty boy.
843
00:57:28,649 --> 00:57:31,405
Hello Ducky .. I'm glad you're
back before the others.
844
00:57:31,964 --> 00:57:34,668
It isn't often I have the chance of
a tête-à-tête with the family's fairest.
845
00:57:34,884 --> 00:57:36,672
You're never serious
about anything, Albert.
846
00:57:36,888 --> 00:57:38,846
I was never more serious in my life.
847
00:57:40,212 --> 00:57:42,518
The storm did an enormous
amount of damage.
848
00:57:42,869 --> 00:57:45,494
Roads into Rochester and Gravesend
were completely flooded.
849
00:57:46,258 --> 00:57:48,836
The Postman told me.
- I hope they stay that way.
850
00:57:50,098 --> 00:57:51,558
Allow me, Empress.
851
00:57:52,362 --> 00:57:54,681
There's only one letter today.
It's for Miss Fiske.
852
00:57:55,047 --> 00:57:55,755
Is it?
853
00:58:01,577 --> 00:58:03,226
It's a cosy nest you got here.
854
00:58:03,605 --> 00:58:05,661
What's will happen to you
when Miss Fiske gets back?
855
00:58:05,896 --> 00:58:07,596
Will she let you stay on, do you think?
856
00:58:11,455 --> 00:58:12,701
She isn't coming back.
857
00:58:13,532 --> 00:58:14,548
Why not?
858
00:58:15,342 --> 00:58:16,575
Ellen's bought the house.
859
00:58:19,252 --> 00:58:19,924
Go on.
860
00:58:20,140 --> 00:58:21,241
Yes. It's quite true.
861
00:58:22,049 --> 00:58:23,150
It's a secret though.
862
00:58:23,366 --> 00:58:26,001
Ellen made us swear on the bible
that we wouldn't tell anyone.
863
00:58:26,218 --> 00:58:28,300
But you are one of the family.
So it's alright.
864
00:58:29,873 --> 00:58:31,661
Why should she want
to keep it a secret, eh?
865
00:58:31,877 --> 00:58:33,636
I don't know.
It was done in a great hurry.
866
00:58:33,873 --> 00:58:35,534
Louisa and I were sent off to Rochester.
867
00:58:35,750 --> 00:58:38,669
Then when we came back that night,
Miss Fiske was gone and it was all over.
868
00:58:40,902 --> 00:58:42,862
You won't tell Ellen I told
you, will you, Albert?
869
00:58:43,234 --> 00:58:43,975
No.
870
00:58:45,212 --> 00:58:47,000
We'll make that our
little secret, shall we?
871
00:58:47,335 --> 00:58:48,064
Alright.
872
00:58:50,086 --> 00:58:52,513
It will be rather fun.
Having a secret from Ellen.
873
00:58:53,143 --> 00:58:55,628
She thinks she's the clever one.
But she isn't.
874
00:58:57,109 --> 00:58:57,924
Not always.
875
00:58:59,816 --> 00:59:00,402
No.
876
00:59:01,225 --> 00:59:02,040
Not always.
877
00:59:17,517 --> 00:59:19,294
Albert.
- What?
878
00:59:25,153 --> 00:59:26,418
Good morning.
879
00:59:28,974 --> 00:59:30,034
May we come in?
880
00:59:30,250 --> 00:59:32,261
Who's that?
- A couple of nuns from The Priory.
881
00:59:33,048 --> 00:59:36,099
You talk to them, Albert.
I've got to tidy up the orchard.
882
00:59:47,032 --> 00:59:51,087
Oh .. I didn't know there was
a young man staying here.
883
00:59:51,632 --> 00:59:52,844
Is Miss Ellen about?
884
00:59:53,060 --> 00:59:55,956
Sorry. She's gone over to the church at
Cawley. I'm her nephew, can I help?
885
00:59:56,487 --> 01:00:00,357
We came to return this. She lent us
a little oil last night. We ran short.
886
01:00:00,792 --> 01:00:02,060
Thanks.
- Yes, and this.
887
01:00:02,634 --> 01:00:04,846
The rent for the little field.
Your aunt will understand.
888
01:00:05,106 --> 01:00:06,179
I'll give it to her.
889
01:00:06,395 --> 01:00:08,788
We are so looking forward
to Miss Fiske's return.
890
01:00:09,371 --> 01:00:10,864
She's a dear friend of ours.
891
01:00:11,239 --> 01:00:14,646
Oh .. have you .. heard from her lately?
892
01:00:15,031 --> 01:00:16,218
No, not a word.
893
01:00:16,752 --> 01:00:19,335
I think the Reverend Mother is
a trifle hurt she hasn't written.
894
01:00:19,678 --> 01:00:22,281
In fact, she didn't even tell
us she was going away.
895
01:00:22,777 --> 01:00:25,295
Not very chummy, was it.
- No, it wasn't.
896
01:00:26,837 --> 01:00:28,232
Good morning.
- Good morning.
897
01:01:05,242 --> 01:01:07,671
Now what are you up to?
- Fetch me a knife, Ducky.
898
01:01:15,499 --> 01:01:17,170
What's that?
- A letter for Miss Fiske.
899
01:01:17,511 --> 01:01:19,943
You're not going to open it?
- No. Wouldn't think of it.
900
01:01:24,242 --> 01:01:25,431
What's it say?
901
01:01:26,201 --> 01:01:28,502
'Dear Madam.
Regarding your instructions ..'
902
01:01:28,718 --> 01:01:31,591
'To forward the amount of the
enclosed cheque in 5-pound notes'.
903
01:01:32,239 --> 01:01:36,889
'Your signature appears to differ from
that with which we are acquainted'.
904
01:01:38,793 --> 01:01:41,444
'We should be obliged if you
could kindly confirm same ..'
905
01:01:41,845 --> 01:01:44,354
'By signing it afresh.
In your usual manner'.
906
01:01:48,582 --> 01:01:49,634
Fifty pounds.
907
01:01:50,633 --> 01:01:51,591
Notice the date.
908
01:01:52,218 --> 01:01:53,703
'October 14th'.
909
01:01:54,794 --> 01:01:57,258
That's three days ago.
She's been gone longer than that.
910
01:01:57,803 --> 01:01:59,484
Since the beginning of September.
911
01:02:00,292 --> 01:02:02,329
She probably made it
out from wherever she is.
912
01:02:02,949 --> 01:02:04,986
Yes, she could have. Hey, wait a minute.
913
01:02:06,442 --> 01:02:08,765
In that case, why did they
send the reply to her here?
914
01:02:10,183 --> 01:02:11,666
You see who it's made payable to?
915
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:14,680
Ellen Creed.
916
01:02:15,506 --> 01:02:17,785
What of it? I expect it's
the housekeeping money.
917
01:02:18,380 --> 01:02:21,488
Maybe. Where's the glue-pot?
- Over there.
918
01:02:21,704 --> 01:02:23,015
Get it for me.
919
01:02:28,096 --> 01:02:30,146
Dip your finger in it.
- I should say not.
920
01:02:30,516 --> 01:02:31,817
I've had no hand in this.
921
01:02:33,119 --> 01:02:33,963
Haven't you?
922
01:02:35,383 --> 01:02:37,379
You are a filthy pig.
- Go on. Seal it up.
923
01:02:38,971 --> 01:02:39,930
Go on.
924
01:02:44,402 --> 01:02:46,276
Don't forget.
You're in this as deep as me now.
925
01:02:46,550 --> 01:02:48,124
I wish you'd never come here.
926
01:02:48,888 --> 01:02:51,488
I don't know what comes over
me when you're around.
927
01:02:52,752 --> 01:02:54,483
You won't give me away
to Ellen, will you?
928
01:02:54,699 --> 01:02:56,230
I won't if you keep your mouth shut.
929
01:03:03,357 --> 01:03:06,241
Here come the performing seals.
Not a word, mind you.
930
01:03:17,604 --> 01:03:18,397
Albert.
931
01:03:18,622 --> 01:03:20,252
Hello, aunts .. had a nice pray?
932
01:03:20,492 --> 01:03:22,114
You should have been at church, Albert.
933
01:03:22,576 --> 01:03:24,609
The minister told us all about Hell.
934
01:03:25,016 --> 01:03:27,336
You'd have enjoyed the
bit about the lost souls ..
935
01:03:27,682 --> 01:03:29,251
Sizzling in the bottomless pit.
936
01:03:29,554 --> 01:03:31,970
Would I now? Sounds frightening.
937
01:03:32,540 --> 01:03:34,859
Ellen .. where is Hell?
938
01:03:37,451 --> 01:03:39,443
Hell is like the Kingdom of Heaven.
939
01:03:41,672 --> 01:03:42,552
It is within.
940
01:03:43,037 --> 01:03:43,995
That reminds me.
941
01:03:44,310 --> 01:03:45,926
One of your religious friends was here.
942
01:03:46,258 --> 01:03:49,076
She left you this.
It's the rent for some field or other.
943
01:03:50,580 --> 01:03:52,568
She didn't see you, did she?
- I couldn't avoid it.
944
01:03:52,784 --> 01:03:54,258
That was Sister Theresa.
945
01:03:55,171 --> 01:03:59,138
She's Miss Fiske's friend. She doesn't
like us any more than Miss Fiske did.
946
01:03:59,974 --> 01:04:01,311
Didn't Miss Fiske like you?
947
01:04:01,981 --> 01:04:03,098
She was horrid to us.
948
01:04:03,344 --> 01:04:05,103
Louisa, run upstairs
and change your dress.
949
01:04:05,417 --> 01:04:07,148
You can't sit around
in your best all day.
950
01:04:07,445 --> 01:04:08,575
No. I shan't, shall I.
951
01:04:09,221 --> 01:04:10,348
No. Of course not.
952
01:04:12,538 --> 01:04:13,819
Albert.
- Huh?
953
01:04:14,096 --> 01:04:16,776
I don't want you to mention Miss Fiske
again in front of my sisters.
954
01:04:17,336 --> 01:04:18,819
They quarrelled with her.
955
01:04:19,382 --> 01:04:21,392
And it upsets them very
much to talk about her.
956
01:04:22,012 --> 01:04:23,364
Sorry. Nobody told me.
957
01:04:24,555 --> 01:04:26,055
What did you quarrel about?
958
01:04:26,666 --> 01:04:28,328
I didn't say I quarrelled with her.
959
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,220
Would she by any chance be the friend
you lit those candles for last night?
960
01:04:37,276 --> 01:04:38,187
Yes.
961
01:04:39,145 --> 01:04:40,469
When did she die?
962
01:04:42,779 --> 01:04:43,699
Die?
963
01:04:44,779 --> 01:04:46,516
Who said anything about her being dead?
964
01:04:47,042 --> 01:04:50,858
I just assumed she was.
You don't light candles for the living.
965
01:04:51,493 --> 01:04:53,352
Do you?
- I don't know.
966
01:04:54,178 --> 01:04:55,831
I just thought they stood for prayer.
967
01:04:56,685 --> 01:04:58,451
I must find Emily.
- By the way.
968
01:04:58,779 --> 01:05:00,614
The postman gave her
a letter for Miss Fiske.
969
01:05:00,911 --> 01:05:02,450
From her bank, I believe.
970
01:05:03,202 --> 01:05:04,375
Give it to me.
971
01:05:14,895 --> 01:05:16,951
I'm managing all her
affairs while she's away.
972
01:05:29,109 --> 01:05:31,579
Anything important?
- Yes, rather.
973
01:05:32,625 --> 01:05:34,512
I must get an answer
in the post immediately.
974
01:05:39,075 --> 01:05:40,763
A stylish looking piano you've got here.
975
01:05:41,029 --> 01:05:43,016
Don't distract me, Albert.
I must concentrate.
976
01:05:43,301 --> 01:05:45,026
I'm sorry. Don't mind me, auntie.
977
01:05:59,907 --> 01:06:01,335
I say, you are up to date.
978
01:06:02,020 --> 01:06:04,648
I didn't expect to find a copy of
The Mikado way out here on the marshes.
979
01:06:10,467 --> 01:06:12,747
[ Whistling song: Tit-Willow ]
980
01:06:20,224 --> 01:06:21,491
Don't do that.
981
01:06:22,064 --> 01:06:24,252
I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to distract you.
982
01:06:25,378 --> 01:06:27,960
It's just I happen to dislike that
particular tune. That's all.
983
01:06:28,261 --> 01:06:29,932
It's a bit on the morbid side.
984
01:06:35,775 --> 01:06:37,740
Miss Ellen, how soon
will you want dinner?
985
01:06:38,044 --> 01:06:39,402
In a quarter of an hour, Lucy.
986
01:06:39,624 --> 01:06:41,383
I'll just post this
letter at the crossing.
987
01:06:41,801 --> 01:06:42,788
Let me go, Ellen.
988
01:06:43,019 --> 01:06:44,372
I can do with a sniff of air.
989
01:06:44,588 --> 01:06:46,710
No thank you.
I prefer to attend to this myself.
990
01:07:20,938 --> 01:07:22,723
What are you up to now?
991
01:07:23,124 --> 01:07:24,998
She just wrote a reply to
the letter we opened.
992
01:07:25,426 --> 01:07:27,560
I thought it would be interesting
to see what she says.
993
01:07:28,703 --> 01:07:29,518
'Dear sir'.
994
01:07:30,198 --> 01:07:30,956
'Cheque'.
995
01:07:31,301 --> 01:07:32,168
Something.
996
01:07:32,562 --> 01:07:33,406
'Incorrect'.
997
01:07:34,231 --> 01:07:35,018
Something.
998
01:07:35,529 --> 01:07:36,258
'Owing'.
999
01:07:36,987 --> 01:07:38,671
Something, something.
1000
01:07:39,444 --> 01:07:40,350
'Wrist'.
1001
01:07:41,875 --> 01:07:43,870
What does that word
look like to you? See.
1002
01:07:44,636 --> 01:07:47,233
'S .. p .. r ..'
1003
01:07:47,779 --> 01:07:48,718
S .. p .. r.
1004
01:07:49,226 --> 01:07:50,685
'Sprained'. That's it.
1005
01:07:51,092 --> 01:07:52,394
'Owing to a sprained wrist'.
1006
01:07:53,878 --> 01:07:54,922
Something. 'Yours'.
1007
01:07:55,374 --> 01:07:56,225
'Leonora'.
1008
01:07:57,357 --> 01:07:58,758
'Leonora Fiske'.
1009
01:08:01,625 --> 01:08:03,040
She signed it 'Leonora Fiske'.
1010
01:08:03,525 --> 01:08:04,684
What's it mean, Albert?
1011
01:08:05,493 --> 01:08:06,665
What do you think?
1012
01:08:07,266 --> 01:08:09,506
It looks as if she's pretending
to be Miss Fiske.
1013
01:08:10,308 --> 01:08:12,239
Getting money on the strength of it.
- Brilliant.
1014
01:08:12,455 --> 01:08:13,845
If that's true, she's a thief.
1015
01:08:14,342 --> 01:08:15,535
Like you.
- Shut up.
1016
01:08:18,319 --> 01:08:20,417
What will happen when
Miss Fiske comes back?
1017
01:08:23,624 --> 01:08:25,061
Suppose she isn't coming back?
1018
01:08:26,187 --> 01:08:29,149
Suppose she's died somewhere.
And Ellen is the only one who knows.
1019
01:08:29,485 --> 01:08:31,229
You can't die and only
one person know it.
1020
01:08:31,445 --> 01:08:32,744
Can't you? I'm not so sure.
1021
01:08:34,460 --> 01:08:35,600
One thing I do know.
1022
01:08:35,906 --> 01:08:38,896
She'd never risk it unless she knew
Miss Fiske was out of the way for good.
1023
01:08:39,955 --> 01:08:43,091
Alright .. assume she's dead.
Aunt Ellen is having the funds.
1024
01:08:43,645 --> 01:08:45,721
It might be years before
anybody would find out.
1025
01:08:48,011 --> 01:08:49,815
Why should she reap all the benefit?
1026
01:08:55,455 --> 01:08:57,100
There may be some pickings in it for us.
1027
01:08:57,481 --> 01:08:59,841
Would you like to see a bit of the
world? Have some fun with me?
1028
01:09:00,057 --> 01:09:01,907
You'd tempt Old Nick
himself, wouldn't you?
1029
01:09:02,123 --> 01:09:03,540
You've got to help me get proof.
1030
01:09:03,775 --> 01:09:05,763
I don't want to do anything
mean or underhanded.
1031
01:09:06,113 --> 01:09:09,069
Would I ask you to? Use your eyes
and keep your ears open. That's all.
1032
01:09:09,863 --> 01:09:10,821
What do you say?
1033
01:09:11,696 --> 01:09:12,720
I don't know.
1034
01:09:12,936 --> 01:09:14,752
Perhaps this will help
you make up your mind.
1035
01:09:20,189 --> 01:09:22,321
Well?
- I'll help you, Albert.
1036
01:09:23,541 --> 01:09:25,685
Here she comes. Look sharp now.
Back to the kitchen.
1037
01:10:47,655 --> 01:10:48,984
She's coming.
1038
01:10:49,341 --> 01:10:51,214
Blimey. You almost made
me frightened myself.
1039
01:10:51,698 --> 01:10:53,567
Hurry up, hurry up.
- Alright. Shut up.
1040
01:10:57,097 --> 01:10:59,119
Hey, go in the kitchen
and make some tea.
1041
01:11:00,769 --> 01:11:03,053
Take this with you. Go on, hurry.
1042
01:11:08,868 --> 01:11:10,408
Goodnight, Bates.
- Night, ma'am.
1043
01:11:10,665 --> 01:11:12,424
Don't forget.
Ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
1044
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:13,710
Very good, ma'am.
1045
01:11:24,420 --> 01:11:25,960
Did you have a successful trip?
1046
01:11:29,358 --> 01:11:30,324
Yes.
1047
01:11:31,452 --> 01:11:32,615
I have your ticket.
1048
01:11:33,462 --> 01:11:35,112
You leave tomorrow.
1049
01:11:36,730 --> 01:11:37,873
Do I?
1050
01:11:38,909 --> 01:11:41,037
Where are my sisters?
- I sent them off to bed.
1051
01:11:41,594 --> 01:11:44,567
They were getting a little out of hand.
- I dare say it wasn't their fault.
1052
01:11:45,180 --> 01:11:46,694
Lucy is making some hot tea.
1053
01:11:47,190 --> 01:11:48,628
We thought you might be cold.
1054
01:11:49,171 --> 01:11:51,500
I'll be down again .. as soon as
I've said goodnight to them.
1055
01:12:05,306 --> 01:12:06,436
Is everything alright?
1056
01:12:06,652 --> 01:12:09,253
No it's not. She's packing me off
tomorrow. We've got to move fast.
1057
01:12:10,013 --> 01:12:14,109
You haven't changed your mind, have you?
- I couldn't refuse you anything .. now.
1058
01:12:17,711 --> 01:12:20,732
We thought you'd never come,
Ellen .. I was frightened.
1059
01:12:21,412 --> 01:12:22,227
Frightened?
1060
01:12:22,443 --> 01:12:24,128
Yes, they were such funny noises.
1061
01:12:24,896 --> 01:12:26,049
It was only the rats.
1062
01:12:27,710 --> 01:12:29,343
What have you been doing all evening?
1063
01:12:29,794 --> 01:12:33,166
We played a game of cribbage.
Of course, Albert cheated.
1064
01:12:33,475 --> 01:12:35,420
But it was rather fun
watching him cheat.
1065
01:12:36,156 --> 01:12:38,001
He hasn't said anything
about Miss Fiske?
1066
01:12:38,432 --> 01:12:39,681
No.
- Miss Fiske?
1067
01:12:41,073 --> 01:12:41,974
Why should he?
1068
01:12:42,322 --> 01:12:44,819
And neither of you spoke to him
about my buying the house?
1069
01:12:45,173 --> 01:12:46,021
No, Ellen.
1070
01:12:46,441 --> 01:12:47,399
Do you remember?
1071
01:12:47,678 --> 01:12:49,855
You made us swear on
the bible we wouldn't.
1072
01:12:53,352 --> 01:12:55,327
I think you'd better go to
sleep now, both of you.
1073
01:12:55,778 --> 01:12:58,491
I'm going downstairs to have a
hot cup of tea before I go to bed.
1074
01:13:11,633 --> 01:13:14,151
Albert, do you think ..?
- Pour the tea, Lucy.
1075
01:13:21,955 --> 01:13:24,408
Thank you Lucy. You may go to bed now.
- Yes, Miss Ellen.
1076
01:13:24,946 --> 01:13:26,345
Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
1077
01:13:36,366 --> 01:13:37,639
Auntie, where is your cane?
1078
01:13:38,312 --> 01:13:40,981
You look like you'd like to take down
my breeches and give me a dozen.
1079
01:13:42,223 --> 01:13:45,038
There's a boat sailing for Canada
on Friday. You sail with it.
1080
01:13:46,295 --> 01:13:47,826
I'm not sure I want to go to Canada.
1081
01:13:48,849 --> 01:13:49,693
Yet a while.
1082
01:13:50,173 --> 01:13:51,779
You haven't much choice, have you?
1083
01:13:52,201 --> 01:13:54,201
I don't know. I'm getting
quite fond of this place.
1084
01:13:54,463 --> 01:13:57,278
The air suits me .. I'm very
happy here for the time being.
1085
01:13:57,793 --> 01:13:59,765
I'm not happy having you here.
- Why?
1086
01:14:01,027 --> 01:14:03,956
It isn't safe since Sister Theresa
knows you're staying here with us.
1087
01:14:04,613 --> 01:14:07,129
The wrong sort of talk would bring
the police around here in no time.
1088
01:14:07,692 --> 01:14:09,826
I don't propose to risk a
scandal on your account.
1089
01:14:10,979 --> 01:14:12,484
There's more to it than that.
1090
01:14:13,552 --> 01:14:14,914
Lucy is apt to talk.
1091
01:14:15,787 --> 01:14:17,383
I don't think we need worry about her.
1092
01:14:18,557 --> 01:14:20,578
No. You've made sure of that.
1093
01:14:21,269 --> 01:14:24,026
Whatever do you mean by that?
- You know what, you cheap little ..
1094
01:14:24,454 --> 01:14:26,419
Stop it Ellen.
You'll make me lose my temper.
1095
01:14:26,784 --> 01:14:27,717
Your temper?
1096
01:14:27,975 --> 01:14:30,803
You leave first thing in the morning.
That's the end of you and your temper.
1097
01:14:31,019 --> 01:14:32,487
I shouldn't try to bluff me.
1098
01:14:32,885 --> 01:14:36,020
I'm not bluffing you. I order you.
- If I don't choose to be ordered?
1099
01:14:36,755 --> 01:14:39,395
I can't throw you out physically.
But I can send for the police.
1100
01:14:39,611 --> 01:14:40,765
And have your scandal?
1101
01:14:41,425 --> 01:14:43,625
Really, you're being very
inconsistent now, auntie dear.
1102
01:14:47,747 --> 01:14:49,119
You won't send for the police.
1103
01:14:50,349 --> 01:14:51,841
Why are you so sure?
1104
01:14:52,573 --> 01:14:53,992
Because you've another reason.
1105
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:56,914
A more important reason for
not wanting the police here.
1106
01:14:57,546 --> 01:14:59,799
For wanting me out of this
house as quickly as possible.
1107
01:15:01,265 --> 01:15:02,936
As a matter of fact, you are right.
1108
01:15:03,339 --> 01:15:04,889
Now we get down to brass tacks.
1109
01:15:09,192 --> 01:15:11,134
Did it concern Miss Fiske by any chance?
1110
01:15:12,843 --> 01:15:14,271
It would and it does.
1111
01:15:15,303 --> 01:15:18,769
I met her in town today.
She's coming back.
1112
01:15:21,002 --> 01:15:24,068
She's coming back?
- And why shouldn't she?
1113
01:15:25,444 --> 01:15:27,138
I thought she'd gone for good.
1114
01:15:27,641 --> 01:15:29,345
How utterly absurd of you, Albert.
1115
01:15:29,950 --> 01:15:32,232
There has never been any
question of her not coming back.
1116
01:15:33,753 --> 01:15:35,532
Why didn't you say
so in the first place?
1117
01:15:35,748 --> 01:15:37,942
You played the fool so much
with Louisa and Emily.
1118
01:15:39,190 --> 01:15:40,693
I was afraid you'd blurt it out.
1119
01:15:42,481 --> 01:15:44,355
As it is, I'll have to
break it to them gently.
1120
01:15:44,571 --> 01:15:46,477
Because it means
they will have to go too.
1121
01:15:51,855 --> 01:15:53,989
My little country holiday has
obviously come to an end.
1122
01:15:54,843 --> 01:15:56,734
I don't know what the
blazes I'll do in Canada.
1123
01:15:56,950 --> 01:15:59,119
I suppose one can starve there
as well as anywhere else.
1124
01:15:59,677 --> 01:16:00,790
You'll get on.
1125
01:16:01,757 --> 01:16:03,762
I'll give you a little
something to start off with.
1126
01:16:04,659 --> 01:16:05,908
For your mother's sake.
1127
01:16:06,405 --> 01:16:08,376
I suppose I should extend
my most humble thanks.
1128
01:16:08,668 --> 01:16:10,540
No. That from you would be too much.
1129
01:16:11,034 --> 01:16:13,664
If that's all we have to say to each
other, I may as well get up to bed.
1130
01:16:32,163 --> 01:16:34,237
A good night's sleep wouldn't
do you any harm, either.
1131
01:16:35,093 --> 01:16:36,483
You look a bit played out.
1132
01:16:42,139 --> 01:16:43,698
I must lock up first.
1133
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,157
Will I be seeing you in the
morning before I leave?
1134
01:16:49,557 --> 01:16:50,486
Yes.
1135
01:16:59,735 --> 01:17:01,070
I forgot to tell you, auntie.
1136
01:17:02,138 --> 01:17:03,848
I had a funny dream last night.
1137
01:17:05,052 --> 01:17:05,796
Did you?
1138
01:17:08,636 --> 01:17:10,288
I dreamt Miss Fiske was dead.
1139
01:17:17,761 --> 01:17:20,112
Goodnight, auntie.
- Goodnight, Albert.
1140
01:18:52,767 --> 01:18:54,268
Miss Fiske ..
1141
01:19:06,554 --> 01:19:07,625
Albert.
1142
01:19:08,620 --> 01:19:09,497
Albert!
1143
01:19:48,544 --> 01:19:49,617
Good morning, Bates.
1144
01:19:49,833 --> 01:19:52,997
Miss Creed ordered me. It's about the
train, but she didn't say which one.
1145
01:19:53,823 --> 01:19:54,626
Bates.
1146
01:19:55,260 --> 01:19:56,975
Cancel it. Miss Creed's
not feeling well.
1147
01:19:57,382 --> 01:19:59,134
Nothing serious I hope, sir?
1148
01:19:59,716 --> 01:20:00,845
No. Nothing serious.
1149
01:20:01,576 --> 01:20:03,714
In that case, I'd better hop along.
1150
01:20:11,215 --> 01:20:13,479
She did look ill when I
took in her early tea.
1151
01:20:13,844 --> 01:20:15,160
I wish we hadn't done it.
1152
01:20:15,376 --> 01:20:17,754
Pull yourself together.
You'll ruin everything. Go on upstairs.
1153
01:20:18,116 --> 01:20:20,071
She might have died.
- Shut up.
1154
01:20:22,419 --> 01:20:24,304
Well she didn't. And we
proved what we wanted.
1155
01:20:24,605 --> 01:20:27,046
Miss Fiske is dead and she knows it.
- I wonder when she died.
1156
01:20:27,262 --> 01:20:30,193
One more go, and I'll tell you when
and how, she died. Now, go on upstairs.
1157
01:20:32,234 --> 01:20:33,778
What did Bates want, Albert?
1158
01:20:34,469 --> 01:20:37,339
He brought the news from the outside
world. It will tickle you to death.
1159
01:20:37,669 --> 01:20:39,500
Wigs and whiskers are
coming back in again.
1160
01:20:39,795 --> 01:20:41,748
I don't think this is a
time for joking, Albert.
1161
01:20:42,024 --> 01:20:43,268
With Ellen the way she is.
1162
01:20:43,484 --> 01:20:45,673
You take this thing too seriously,
my old brussels sprout.
1163
01:20:45,906 --> 01:20:48,296
She was walking in her sleep
and had a nightmare. That's all.
1164
01:20:48,857 --> 01:20:50,738
It wasn't a nightmare, Albert.
1165
01:20:52,979 --> 01:20:56,425
Oh .. what was it then?
- She says she saw a ghost.
1166
01:20:58,326 --> 01:21:00,241
In that case, lay another
place for breakfast.
1167
01:21:01,837 --> 01:21:04,083
Do you really think
it was a ghost, Emily?
1168
01:21:04,814 --> 01:21:08,147
If it were only a nightmare,
we wouldn't have heard it too.
1169
01:21:09,095 --> 01:21:12,379
Heard what?
- The music. Miss Fiske's music.
1170
01:21:13,216 --> 01:21:14,174
You know, Emily.
1171
01:21:14,512 --> 01:21:16,786
I'm sometimes afraid Miss Fiske
will get the better of Ellen.
1172
01:21:17,358 --> 01:21:20,210
I sometimes think she wants
to come back and turn us out.
1173
01:21:20,570 --> 01:21:23,299
I think Miss Fiske is here .. now.
1174
01:21:24,166 --> 01:21:27,506
Well .. what are you
two whispering about?
1175
01:21:28,354 --> 01:21:30,821
Hadn't you better go for your walk now?
- Yes, Ellen.
1176
01:21:31,124 --> 01:21:32,605
Anything you say, Ellen.
1177
01:21:46,684 --> 01:21:48,838
Do you think you're
strong enough to be up?
1178
01:21:49,303 --> 01:21:52,031
Yes, dear. I'm quite alright now.
- Hadn't you better have a doctor?
1179
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,336
No. A doctor couldn't do any good.
1180
01:22:01,118 --> 01:22:03,274
Why are you two standing
there like a couple of owls?
1181
01:22:04,315 --> 01:22:05,674
Emily has been frightening me.
1182
01:22:05,890 --> 01:22:07,724
You've been imagining
things, both of you.
1183
01:22:07,940 --> 01:22:09,719
Now, run along for your walk.
1184
01:22:10,194 --> 01:22:12,573
Whatever you say, Ellen. You know best.
1185
01:22:47,533 --> 01:22:48,748
Good morning, aunt Ellen.
1186
01:22:52,429 --> 01:22:53,848
We didn't expect you down today.
1187
01:22:55,144 --> 01:22:56,748
Why aren't you ready yet?
1188
01:22:57,416 --> 01:22:58,898
Bates will be here at any moment.
1189
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:01,876
Bates has been here and
gone .. I sent him away.
1190
01:23:02,599 --> 01:23:04,832
What do you mean by interfering
with my arrangements?
1191
01:23:05,087 --> 01:23:07,308
I didn't like to go and leave
you not feeling well.
1192
01:23:07,829 --> 01:23:09,585
I'm quite recovered now, thank you.
1193
01:23:10,535 --> 01:23:12,151
It was a queer turn you had last night.
1194
01:23:13,012 --> 01:23:13,913
What happened?
1195
01:23:16,155 --> 01:23:17,012
Nothing.
1196
01:23:17,529 --> 01:23:19,792
You know, you should really do
something about your nerves.
1197
01:23:20,064 --> 01:23:22,710
This isn't the first time you've walked
in your sleep, according to Emily.
1198
01:23:23,866 --> 01:23:24,996
What's Emily told you?
1199
01:23:25,212 --> 01:23:26,370
Just the usual chatter.
1200
01:23:27,566 --> 01:23:30,648
They do say that people who walk in
their sleep have a guilty conscience.
1201
01:23:32,807 --> 01:23:34,722
What's behind that remark, Albert?
1202
01:23:35,877 --> 01:23:36,788
Nothing.
1203
01:23:56,997 --> 01:23:58,016
You know.
1204
01:23:58,692 --> 01:23:59,725
Uhuh.
1205
01:24:07,734 --> 01:24:09,783
Then it was you last night?
- Yes.
1206
01:24:10,635 --> 01:24:12,786
Me and Lucy.
- She knows too?
1207
01:24:13,435 --> 01:24:16,579
Not what I know. That's something you
and I are going to keep to ourselves.
1208
01:24:17,454 --> 01:24:19,302
Provided of course, you treat me right.
1209
01:24:21,351 --> 01:24:22,852
What are you going to do?
1210
01:24:24,955 --> 01:24:26,342
As I said, I'm very happy here.
1211
01:24:26,974 --> 01:24:29,880
I think with your financial help I'll
be able to adjust things at the bank.
1212
01:24:30,486 --> 01:24:33,462
And we can all settle down in peace.
A contented little family.
1213
01:24:38,699 --> 01:24:40,639
You mean, you propose
to go on living here?
1214
01:24:41,042 --> 01:24:42,511
With me?
- Why not?
1215
01:24:43,380 --> 01:24:45,003
You'd never be quite sure, would you?
1216
01:24:45,991 --> 01:24:47,704
You might not enjoy your meals.
1217
01:24:51,328 --> 01:24:53,741
You wouldn't dare .. a second time.
1218
01:24:54,750 --> 01:24:57,031
It takes a lot of courage to
kill for the first time, Albert.
1219
01:24:57,830 --> 01:25:00,317
Once you've sold your soul to
the Devil it becomes easier.
1220
01:25:01,558 --> 01:25:02,675
Much easier.
1221
01:25:03,887 --> 01:25:07,713
Alright .. give me £500 and I'll clear
out for good. And keep my mouth shut.
1222
01:25:07,933 --> 01:25:10,215
I'm not afraid of you, Albert.
And your shabby little tricks.
1223
01:25:10,666 --> 01:25:13,323
In the middle of the night, you may
fancy yourself cutting quite a figure.
1224
01:25:13,980 --> 01:25:15,595
It's broad daylight now.
1225
01:25:16,055 --> 01:25:17,426
[ Door knocks ]
1226
01:25:22,761 --> 01:25:23,944
It's those nuns.
1227
01:25:24,482 --> 01:25:27,362
Get that out of sight.
And yourself with it.
1228
01:25:31,659 --> 01:25:33,002
[ Door knocks ]
1229
01:25:38,532 --> 01:25:41,311
Good day, Sisters.
- I must talk to you, right away.
1230
01:25:41,857 --> 01:25:43,121
Are you alone?
- Yes.
1231
01:25:43,889 --> 01:25:44,905
What's the matter?
1232
01:25:45,241 --> 01:25:48,898
It's really none of my business
and I shouldn't have come but ..
1233
01:25:49,781 --> 01:25:52,419
The police. They've been to the Priory.
- What about?
1234
01:25:52,973 --> 01:25:54,653
They're searching for a young man.
1235
01:25:55,095 --> 01:25:57,671
Who stole money from a
bank over Gravesend way.
1236
01:25:58,212 --> 01:26:01,295
And from the description,
I suspect it was your nephew.
1237
01:26:01,945 --> 01:26:05,639
I thought if he were told, he might
have a chance to do the right thing.
1238
01:26:06,213 --> 01:26:07,596
And give himself up.
1239
01:26:08,675 --> 01:26:10,261
It is your nephew?
- Yes.
1240
01:26:10,825 --> 01:26:14,130
But they mustn't search here.
- They've gone to the Coyne farm first.
1241
01:26:14,553 --> 01:26:16,139
I heard one of them say so.
1242
01:26:17,097 --> 01:26:20,813
Oh Miss Ellen. Have I done
wrong in coming to warn you?
1243
01:26:22,345 --> 01:26:23,773
I don't know, Sister.
1244
01:26:24,730 --> 01:26:26,719
I had a brother rather like that.
1245
01:26:27,632 --> 01:26:28,938
He went wrong too.
1246
01:26:30,148 --> 01:26:33,618
People are so easily lost, aren't they?
1247
01:26:34,524 --> 01:26:35,575
Yes they are.
1248
01:26:36,083 --> 01:26:38,511
Poor girl. You have so many burdens.
1249
01:26:39,161 --> 01:26:40,320
If you refer to Albert.
1250
01:26:40,901 --> 01:26:42,388
He means absolutely nothing to me.
1251
01:26:43,143 --> 01:26:44,543
No-one does, for that matter.
1252
01:26:45,350 --> 01:26:46,843
Except Emily and Louisa.
1253
01:26:48,365 --> 01:26:53,486
If, any time, we can do anything to make
things easier for you or your sisters ..
1254
01:26:54,242 --> 01:26:56,078
Don't hesitate to turn to us.
1255
01:26:56,401 --> 01:26:58,181
That's very kind of you, Sister Theresa.
1256
01:26:58,843 --> 01:27:00,509
But you know, we're not of your faith.
1257
01:27:01,152 --> 01:27:04,017
In my Father's house are many mansions.
1258
01:27:10,324 --> 01:27:11,797
Blimey, I thought they'd never go.
1259
01:27:12,013 --> 01:27:13,715
Thanks for putting in
a good word for me.
1260
01:27:15,247 --> 01:27:16,837
The Coyne farm, is it?
1261
01:27:17,115 --> 01:27:19,332
That will give me a chance to
get behind them to the river.
1262
01:27:19,548 --> 01:27:21,951
Hurry. There's no time to lose.
- Yes, I'll get my clothes.
1263
01:27:36,482 --> 01:27:37,496
Lucy.
1264
01:27:38,970 --> 01:27:40,574
Why are you staring at me like that?
1265
01:27:47,259 --> 01:27:48,389
You've been listening.
1266
01:27:52,279 --> 01:27:53,011
Lucy.
1267
01:27:53,847 --> 01:27:55,077
Lucy, come back.
1268
01:27:56,673 --> 01:27:57,922
Lucy, come back.
1269
01:28:00,607 --> 01:28:01,729
What's up?
1270
01:28:04,948 --> 01:28:05,763
What is it?
1271
01:28:06,671 --> 01:28:07,700
Lucy's run off.
1272
01:28:08,543 --> 01:28:09,842
She was listening.
1273
01:28:11,899 --> 01:28:13,091
Turn me in, would she?
1274
01:28:13,589 --> 01:28:15,946
I've got to move fast.
Where's that money and boat ticket?
1275
01:28:21,783 --> 01:28:23,304
You mean, she heard all about that?
1276
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:28,225
Yes.
1277
01:28:29,117 --> 01:28:31,860
Hey .. you'd better
make a dash for it too.
1278
01:28:46,271 --> 01:28:47,740
Don't stand there mooning about.
1279
01:28:48,092 --> 01:28:49,909
Put your things on and
let's get out of here.
1280
01:28:52,816 --> 01:28:53,999
I'm not going.
1281
01:28:56,844 --> 01:28:58,130
Are you out of your mind?
1282
01:29:01,266 --> 01:29:03,883
You know what they'll do to you?
- You'd better hurry, Albert.
1283
01:29:04,966 --> 01:29:06,581
Well, if that don't beat the cards.
1284
01:29:08,780 --> 01:29:09,710
Well then ..
1285
01:29:11,785 --> 01:29:14,516
So long Ellen .. no hard feelings.
1286
01:29:49,217 --> 01:29:50,486
Ellen, it was so funny.
1287
01:29:50,849 --> 01:29:51,893
We just saw Albert.
1288
01:29:52,306 --> 01:29:53,808
He was playing 'tag' with some men.
1289
01:29:54,130 --> 01:29:56,069
He didn't win. They caught him.
1290
01:29:56,413 --> 01:29:57,556
He got quite annoyed.
1291
01:30:00,436 --> 01:30:02,922
Ellen, look.
We found a lot of jackdaw feathers.
1292
01:30:03,297 --> 01:30:05,846
We're going to tie them into
bundles and make little dusters.
1293
01:30:07,021 --> 01:30:08,492
Where are you going?
1294
01:30:10,172 --> 01:30:11,816
I'm going to Coyne farm.
1295
01:30:12,298 --> 01:30:14,852
There are some gentlemen there from
Gravesend and I want to see them.
1296
01:30:15,068 --> 01:30:16,974
You won't bring them
back here, will you Ellen.
1297
01:30:17,228 --> 01:30:19,134
It's so nice and peaceful by ourselves.
1298
01:30:20,007 --> 01:30:22,812
No, dear. I'll try not to
bring them back here.
1299
01:30:31,833 --> 01:30:35,636
You have been happy here, haven't you?
- We are happy here, aren't we Emily?
1300
01:30:35,852 --> 01:30:38,249
Yes .. it's much better than London.
1301
01:30:38,547 --> 01:30:40,897
It's so good of you to have
bought this house for us.
1302
01:30:41,242 --> 01:30:43,035
You have been clever, Ellen.
1303
01:31:06,500 --> 01:31:07,632
How long will you be?
1304
01:31:08,778 --> 01:31:10,031
I don't know, dear.
1305
01:31:10,562 --> 01:31:12,115
Maybe quite a time.
1306
01:31:13,116 --> 01:31:15,317
I think I shall go down
to The Priory tomorrow.
1307
01:31:15,914 --> 01:31:18,728
I should like to see the things the
Reverend Mother collected on the marsh.
1308
01:31:18,965 --> 01:31:20,045
I'll go with you.
1309
01:31:26,793 --> 01:31:29,371
Goodbye, Ellen .. don't worry about us.
1310
01:31:29,816 --> 01:31:31,460
We can look after ourselves.
1311
01:32:12,774 --> 01:32:13,678

Ellen Creed, a proud spinster fallen on hard times, has spent the past two years as housekeeper and companion to her old friend Leonora Fiske, a wealthy retiree who in her youth had been a chorus girl "of easy virtue". Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.
One day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.
Ellen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.
Ellen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.
Some nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.
Albert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a "sprained wrist." Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.
Albert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men. Ellen smiles, dons her coat and hat, tells the sisters she's going to see some men, kisses them goodbye and departs into the fog.

1
00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:15,105
Ellen.
2
00:02:16,275 --> 00:02:18,207
Yes, Miss Fiske.
- Is there any mail for me?
3
00:02:18,783 --> 00:02:20,449
No, just this one letter.
4
00:02:22,257 --> 00:02:24,580
No sign of Bates yet?
- Not yet.
5
00:02:25,271 --> 00:02:27,122
Oh dear, I do hope you
won't miss your train.
6
00:02:28,288 --> 00:02:29,130
I mustn't.
7
00:02:32,003 --> 00:02:34,632
Oh Lucy, hurry with that bag.
- Just coming, Miss.
8
00:02:39,861 --> 00:02:40,533
Ellen.
9
00:02:40,937 --> 00:02:42,986
That business I want you
to see about in London.
10
00:02:43,703 --> 00:02:45,281
This is for Mr Scott at the bank.
11
00:02:45,872 --> 00:02:47,797
It's about those Brazilian
bonds of mine.
12
00:02:48,116 --> 00:02:50,463
The way the market is this week,
I think they ought to be ..
13
00:02:51,108 --> 00:02:53,011
Get outside.
Keep your eyes open for Bates.
14
00:02:53,367 --> 00:02:54,154
Yes, Miss.
15
00:02:57,364 --> 00:02:59,365
And this address is
just off Berkeley Square.
16
00:02:59,637 --> 00:03:02,745
Go to the servant's entrance and
ask for Mr Blake. He's the butler.
17
00:03:02,990 --> 00:03:06,248
Say you've come from me with
a message for Lord Cardington.
18
00:03:06,501 --> 00:03:08,999
And will he give it to his
Lordship .. privately.
19
00:03:10,145 --> 00:03:11,726
Ellen, you aren't paying attention.
20
00:03:12,861 --> 00:03:14,130
But I am, Miss Fiske.
21
00:03:15,291 --> 00:03:16,862
What would be the best time to call?
22
00:03:18,183 --> 00:03:20,515
Harry always used to dine around eight.
23
00:03:21,648 --> 00:03:23,869
You call about half past seven.
- Yes, very well.
24
00:03:24,511 --> 00:03:25,441
You seem upset.
25
00:03:26,165 --> 00:03:27,082
Bad news?
26
00:03:28,607 --> 00:03:30,395
I don't want to bother
you with my troubles.
27
00:03:31,555 --> 00:03:33,845
It isn't a question of bothering
me with your troubles.
28
00:03:34,385 --> 00:03:36,059
You've become almost like my daughter.
29
00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:40,033
The letter is from my sisters,
Emily and Louisa.
30
00:03:40,723 --> 00:03:42,666
They're very unhappy back
in London without me.
31
00:03:43,371 --> 00:03:46,159
After all, I only saw them once since
I came to work for you, Miss Fiske.
32
00:03:46,627 --> 00:03:50,075
You'll see them today, won't you?
And everything will be alright, surely.
33
00:03:50,516 --> 00:03:51,365
Miss Fiske.
34
00:03:52,270 --> 00:03:53,239
Bates is coming.
35
00:03:53,677 --> 00:03:54,941
Tell him to hurry himself.
36
00:03:56,902 --> 00:04:00,083
My kind regards to your sisters, Ellen.
- Thank you, Miss Fiske.
37
00:04:05,516 --> 00:04:07,945
I've written them so much about you.
38
00:04:08,818 --> 00:04:10,041
How kind you've been.
39
00:04:10,952 --> 00:04:13,704
Stuff and nonsense.
I'm fond of you. You shouldn't ..
40
00:04:14,411 --> 00:04:16,314
Oh, a lovely juicy one.
41
00:04:18,629 --> 00:04:21,722
Perhaps you'll .. you might allow
them down for a little visit one day?
42
00:04:22,338 --> 00:04:24,174
Oh dear, look what the damp has done.
43
00:04:24,744 --> 00:04:27,291
Certainly, yes.
By all means. At any time.
44
00:04:27,661 --> 00:04:30,625
You know Lucy polished this
table all yesterday afternoon.
45
00:04:31,859 --> 00:04:34,142
Miss Fiske.
- Yes?
46
00:04:34,903 --> 00:04:36,139
It occurred to me that ..
47
00:04:36,694 --> 00:04:40,310
Since they've been so wretched lately,
and you may allow them to visit one day.
48
00:04:40,526 --> 00:04:42,677
Oh that? Yes, indeed. You tell them.
49
00:04:43,191 --> 00:04:45,776
Perhaps in the spring when
it's warm and sunny.
50
00:04:58,452 --> 00:05:01,788
Well .. what I was going to ask was ..
51
00:05:03,656 --> 00:05:06,019
Might I bring them back
with me this time? Now?
52
00:05:06,313 --> 00:05:08,044
Well now, Ellen.
- They won't be a bother.
53
00:05:08,260 --> 00:05:11,100
I promise Miss Fiske .. and it
will mean so much to them.
54
00:05:13,860 --> 00:05:17,056
Very well my dear. You bring with
you by all means. For a day or two.
55
00:05:17,531 --> 00:05:18,974
Thank you, Miss Fiske.
56
00:05:19,913 --> 00:05:22,776
I can't tell you how grateful I am.
- Well don't try, my dear.
57
00:05:23,612 --> 00:05:26,540
He's here, Miss.
- About time. The good-for-nothing.
58
00:05:29,731 --> 00:05:31,919
Ellen, have you got everything?
- Yes, Miss Fiske.
59
00:05:36,257 --> 00:05:37,214
Morning, ma'am.
60
00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:40,040
Bates, you might have been more prompt.
What on earth made you so late?
61
00:05:40,256 --> 00:05:44,233
Her. You can't gallop over the roads
with a lady in her delicate condition.
62
00:05:45,131 --> 00:05:46,985
She's going to throw a calf, she be.
63
00:05:47,329 --> 00:05:49,142
I'm taking her to the vets, I am.
64
00:05:49,580 --> 00:05:53,795
Kindly let her not throw any calves
until you get Miss Ellen to the station.
65
00:05:55,009 --> 00:05:58,324
Calves don't come by timetable, lady.
- Well trains do.
66
00:06:01,093 --> 00:06:02,789
Yes, ma'am.
- Goodbye, Miss Fiske.
67
00:06:03,093 --> 00:06:05,919
Goodbye, Miss Ellen.
- Goodbye, Lucy.
68
00:06:08,225 --> 00:06:10,399
Don't forget the allowance
from you-know-who.
69
00:06:10,690 --> 00:06:11,943
No, I shan't.
70
00:06:12,751 --> 00:06:13,558
Goodbye.
71
00:06:14,089 --> 00:06:15,295
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss.
72
00:06:16,549 --> 00:06:18,440
Alright now, there is a
day's work to be done.
73
00:06:43,285 --> 00:06:46,731
La, la, la .. la, la, la.
74
00:06:47,792 --> 00:06:51,445
This is nice. It's very, very nice.
- What's that you have there, Miss?
75
00:06:52,224 --> 00:06:55,022
It's called the New Comic Opera.
It's all the rage in London.
76
00:06:55,382 --> 00:06:56,355
The Mi-Ka-Do.
77
00:06:57,272 --> 00:06:58,355
Mikado.
78
00:06:59,483 --> 00:07:02,512
I used to tour the provinces with
the gentleman who sent it to me.
79
00:07:02,932 --> 00:07:05,701
Look, he signed it for me:
'Rutland Barington'.
80
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,844
'For my adored Leonora
with fond memories of ..'
81
00:07:12,167 --> 00:07:14,032
Never mind about that.
Go and do the dishes.
82
00:07:14,248 --> 00:07:15,034
Yes, Miss.
83
00:07:18,969 --> 00:07:23,159
<i>On a tree by a willow, a little tom-tit</i>.
84
00:07:23,685 --> 00:07:27,337
<i>Sang: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
85
00:07:27,860 --> 00:07:32,012
<i>And I said to him: dicky-bird,
why do you sit?</i>
86
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:36,024
<i>Singing: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
87
00:07:40,329 --> 00:07:41,550
Go on. Don't stop.
88
00:07:41,803 --> 00:07:45,343
Who are you? What are you doing here?
- Listening .. very nice too.
89
00:07:46,281 --> 00:07:48,810
What do you want?
- Ask me in and I'll tell you.
90
00:07:52,312 --> 00:07:55,617
Anyway young man, you may
come in .. but mind your manners.
91
00:07:56,854 --> 00:07:57,794
Alright, Miss.
92
00:08:06,770 --> 00:08:09,470
Isn't this where Miss Ellen Creed lives?
- Yes, she lives here.
93
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:12,146
What do you wish to see her about?
- It's a personal matter.
94
00:08:13,315 --> 00:08:15,156
She's my aunt. I'm Albert Feather.
95
00:08:15,372 --> 00:08:17,189
Your aunt?
- Right.
96
00:08:17,842 --> 00:08:20,039
Her mother was my stepfather's
uncle's second wife.
97
00:08:22,067 --> 00:08:24,058
And where do you come from?
- Gravesend.
98
00:08:24,649 --> 00:08:26,422
I .. I work in a bank there.
99
00:08:26,875 --> 00:08:28,891
It's a very long walk.
Hadn't you better sit down?
100
00:08:29,598 --> 00:08:30,640
Thank you.
101
00:08:33,063 --> 00:08:34,628
I'm afraid it's all been for nothing.
102
00:08:34,844 --> 00:08:37,420
Your aunt Ellen has gone to
London on some business for me.
103
00:08:38,218 --> 00:08:39,462
How long will she be away?
104
00:08:39,790 --> 00:08:41,215
A few days.
- A few?
105
00:08:43,071 --> 00:08:44,665
Blimey. That will be too late.
106
00:08:45,843 --> 00:08:47,270
Is there anything I can do?
107
00:08:47,764 --> 00:08:51,327
I'm Miss Fiske. Your aunt has been
working here as a housekeeper/companion.
108
00:08:52,049 --> 00:08:54,325
I didn't know.
I haven't seen her for five years.
109
00:08:56,066 --> 00:08:57,102
Can I help?
110
00:08:59,294 --> 00:09:00,176
I wonder.
111
00:09:00,570 --> 00:09:01,642
What's the trouble?
112
00:09:02,394 --> 00:09:03,435
Or is it trouble?
113
00:09:04,397 --> 00:09:07,440
It's trouble right enough.
I hardly like to tell you.
114
00:09:08,163 --> 00:09:09,437
Oh, I see.
115
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:11,115
What's the amount?
116
00:09:12,388 --> 00:09:14,291
Twelve pounds.
- How much?
117
00:09:14,952 --> 00:09:17,446
Twelve pounds.
- My goodness. That's a lot of money.
118
00:09:17,662 --> 00:09:19,564
I know. What's worse,
I must have it by tonight.
119
00:09:19,937 --> 00:09:21,177
I'm short at the bank.
120
00:09:21,937 --> 00:09:24,425
It means jail if I can't put it back
before the cashier checks up.
121
00:09:25,063 --> 00:09:27,092
Gambling?
- No. A girl.
122
00:09:28,525 --> 00:09:29,814
Are you engaged to her?
123
00:09:30,198 --> 00:09:31,426
No. She's an actress.
124
00:09:32,294 --> 00:09:34,143
She was in a travelling
company in Gravesend.
125
00:09:34,463 --> 00:09:36,933
What? At the Old Grand?
126
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:39,551
You know it?
- I played there.
127
00:09:40,084 --> 00:09:41,113
Years ago.
128
00:09:41,968 --> 00:09:43,041
You were an actress?
129
00:09:43,648 --> 00:09:45,054
Front row of the chorus.
130
00:09:45,889 --> 00:09:47,868
Fourth from the right.
131
00:09:48,396 --> 00:09:49,710
She was in the chorus too.
132
00:09:50,179 --> 00:09:51,820
I expect you took her out to supper.
133
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:54,542
Then she persuaded you to
go round the shops with her.
134
00:09:55,486 --> 00:09:56,610
How did you know?
135
00:09:58,034 --> 00:09:59,272
'Imagination', my boy.
136
00:10:01,410 --> 00:10:03,427
Anyway, she's over the hills
now to some other town.
137
00:10:03,731 --> 00:10:05,583
And with some other fool.
The little cheat.
138
00:10:10,573 --> 00:10:13,436
Don't worry any more about it.
I'll give you the twelve pounds.
139
00:10:14,686 --> 00:10:15,719
You will?
140
00:10:16,204 --> 00:10:19,080
Perhaps I owe it to you .. in a sense.
141
00:10:20,452 --> 00:10:21,783
Or to some other fool.
142
00:10:22,564 --> 00:10:23,754
You're a life-saver.
143
00:10:24,208 --> 00:10:26,940
Now you just wait here. I'll just
run upstairs and get my keys.
144
00:10:31,814 --> 00:10:33,378
A pity there aren't more like you.
145
00:10:33,970 --> 00:10:35,850
That my, lad, is a matter of opinion.
146
00:10:38,268 --> 00:10:40,807
Do you mind if I tickle on your ivories?
- No, do.
147
00:10:41,403 --> 00:10:42,190
Thank you.
148
00:10:46,990 --> 00:10:50,944
<i>It's the same the whole world over</i>.
149
00:10:52,269 --> 00:10:53,102
<i>It's</i> ..
150
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,183
<i>It's the poor what gets the blame</i>.
151
00:11:04,394 --> 00:11:08,374
<i>While the rich has all the pleasures</i>.
152
00:11:09,117 --> 00:11:12,780
<i>Now, ain't that the blinking shame</i>.
153
00:11:19,442 --> 00:11:20,183
Hello.
154
00:11:20,703 --> 00:11:21,996
You did scare me.
155
00:11:22,780 --> 00:11:24,167
I thought I was hearing things.
156
00:11:24,565 --> 00:11:25,460
You were.
157
00:11:25,819 --> 00:11:26,681
But I mean.
158
00:11:27,344 --> 00:11:28,245
A man's voice.
159
00:11:29,023 --> 00:11:30,360
So funny here.
160
00:11:32,142 --> 00:11:34,993
Doesn't the tide wash up
many male fish, my angel?
161
00:11:35,476 --> 00:11:38,023
A man is as scarce as
hansom cabs in these parts.
162
00:11:38,377 --> 00:11:40,049
That is, all but the old ones.
163
00:11:40,330 --> 00:11:43,699
The young ones go off to London or
some foreign parts as soon as they can.
164
00:11:44,405 --> 00:11:45,990
Are you going off to foreign parts?
165
00:11:46,537 --> 00:11:48,929
It depends.
- Depends on what?
166
00:11:49,541 --> 00:11:51,342
If anyone ever asks me.
167
00:11:52,252 --> 00:11:54,778
I shouldn't think with eyes like them
there would be any difficulty.
168
00:11:55,570 --> 00:11:56,438
Go on.
169
00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:59,288
What's your name?
- Lucy.
170
00:11:59,889 --> 00:12:02,390
What's yours?
- Albert. I'm Miss Creel's nephew.
171
00:12:02,791 --> 00:12:05,195
Funny .. I never heard about you.
172
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,223
That must be remedied.
173
00:12:09,483 --> 00:12:12,253
How about making the most of a male
fish now one has been washed up, eh?
174
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,043
What about a smacker?
- No, you mustn't.
175
00:12:15,952 --> 00:12:17,175
I don't know you.
176
00:12:17,650 --> 00:12:19,993
You needn't know people to kiss them.
- I do.
177
00:12:21,065 --> 00:12:22,481
Alright my girl. It's your loss.
178
00:12:23,722 --> 00:12:25,495
You think a lot of yourself, don't you?
179
00:12:36,494 --> 00:12:39,581
Has Lucy been entertaining you, Albert?
- Eh?
180
00:12:40,669 --> 00:12:42,777
She came in. We had a word or two.
181
00:12:43,910 --> 00:12:46,728
Nice looker, isn't she?
- I didn't notice.
182
00:12:47,252 --> 00:12:50,496
Come now, Albert.
Don't lose your sense of humour.
183
00:12:50,712 --> 00:12:53,147
I hope you're not one of those who
won't benefit from experience.
184
00:12:53,446 --> 00:12:57,232
Otherwise my twelve pounds
will be rather wasted, won't it.
185
00:12:58,006 --> 00:12:59,937
Don't you worry Miss Fiske.
I've had my lesson.
186
00:13:00,307 --> 00:13:01,631
I hope so.
187
00:13:05,189 --> 00:13:07,912
Now .. this is where we
keep our little hoard.
188
00:13:09,396 --> 00:13:11,055
It's an old bake-oven really.
189
00:13:12,795 --> 00:13:14,007
A proper tomb, isn't it?
190
00:13:15,288 --> 00:13:16,161
What's that?
191
00:13:16,603 --> 00:13:18,678
This is what they used to
pull the loaves out with.
192
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:24,941
Of course, we don't use it as a
bake-oven. Hasn't been used in years.
193
00:13:30,894 --> 00:13:31,880
Now then.
194
00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:34,726
Twelve pounds, I think you said.
195
00:13:35,604 --> 00:13:37,505
You couldn't make if fifteen?
- No, I couldn't.
196
00:13:37,721 --> 00:13:38,593
You couldn't?
197
00:13:40,918 --> 00:13:42,648
Do I give you an I.O.U.?
198
00:13:43,001 --> 00:13:44,040
No thank you.
199
00:13:44,453 --> 00:13:45,721
This isn't a loan.
200
00:13:46,087 --> 00:13:49,548
I shouldn't like you to incur the
remorse of not paying it back.
201
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:51,267
You are a daisy.
202
00:13:53,929 --> 00:13:55,680
Very prettily done, Albert.
203
00:14:00,308 --> 00:14:02,327
Now, let's forget all about it.
204
00:14:04,460 --> 00:14:06,870
If you came next week, you'd have
found three of your aunts here.
205
00:14:07,162 --> 00:14:09,049
Ellen is bringing her
sisters back from London.
206
00:14:09,406 --> 00:14:11,513
What, the potty ones?
- Potty?
207
00:14:11,729 --> 00:14:13,188
Queer as mice in a cage.
208
00:14:14,466 --> 00:14:16,775
They're quite harmless.
Especially when aunt Ellen's around.
209
00:14:17,257 --> 00:14:20,141
For comfort, they're coming
to stay here for a few days.
210
00:14:20,646 --> 00:14:23,031
They seem to mean quite a
great deal to your aunt Ellen.
211
00:14:23,247 --> 00:14:24,573
Oh, they would.
212
00:14:25,219 --> 00:14:27,164
She's looked after them
since she was a kid.
213
00:14:27,426 --> 00:14:30,676
She's watched over them like they were
a couple of perishing babes-in-arms.
214
00:14:31,397 --> 00:14:34,292
I think that's very commendable of her.
- Perhaps, but ..
215
00:14:34,796 --> 00:14:36,355
Think of all the fun she's missing.
216
00:14:37,398 --> 00:14:40,282
What, for example?
- You know.
217
00:14:41,511 --> 00:14:42,582
I see.
218
00:14:43,201 --> 00:14:46,094
I have to be toddling along.
I'll pay you back as soon as I can.
219
00:14:51,506 --> 00:14:54,128
I'd appreciate if you don't mention
our little transaction to aunt Ellen.
220
00:14:54,344 --> 00:14:55,709
Very well. If you like.
221
00:14:56,156 --> 00:14:57,446
How about .. whatsername?
222
00:14:57,987 --> 00:15:00,717
Lucy? Oh she won't say anything.
I'll take care of that.
223
00:15:01,147 --> 00:15:01,848
Thanks.
224
00:15:04,128 --> 00:15:05,104
So long my lady.
225
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,428
And again from the heart. I'll never
forget your kindness as long as I live.
226
00:15:10,954 --> 00:15:12,887
I hope you live a great
deal longer than that.
227
00:15:41,690 --> 00:15:45,882
Isn't it funny, Ellen? You can't see
the wind and you can't touch it.
228
00:15:46,164 --> 00:15:47,202
But it's there.
229
00:15:48,220 --> 00:15:51,549
I think you'd better have this round
you, dear. It's getting quite chilly.
230
00:15:52,323 --> 00:15:54,061
Listen .. what's that?
231
00:15:54,324 --> 00:15:56,455
Those are The Priory bells, dear.
From over the marshes.
232
00:15:56,671 --> 00:15:58,875
Oh .. I shan't like that.
233
00:16:00,388 --> 00:16:03,269
She hates bells.
- Especially church bells.
234
00:16:03,959 --> 00:16:06,415
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong.
235
00:16:06,823 --> 00:16:08,452
Aren't the marshes pretty.
236
00:16:09,396 --> 00:16:11,378
The grass is too long and untidy.
237
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,566
If I had a knife and a bit of string,
I'd cut it and tie it up in bundles.
238
00:16:18,823 --> 00:16:21,809
Are there any sheep here on the marshes?
- Yes, Miss.
239
00:16:22,119 --> 00:16:25,040
I think sheep are so clever to
chew their cud the way they do.
240
00:16:25,490 --> 00:16:26,918
It's very difficult.
241
00:16:27,875 --> 00:16:29,030
I've tried.
242
00:16:31,415 --> 00:16:34,749
You ought to be a sailor, Miss.
They're always chewing tobacco.
243
00:16:35,584 --> 00:16:37,415
The man I was to marry was a sailor.
244
00:16:38,195 --> 00:16:39,482
He gave me this.
245
00:16:40,242 --> 00:16:42,105
It's all I have to remember him by.
246
00:16:43,219 --> 00:16:44,631
He was wrecked at sea.
247
00:16:46,036 --> 00:16:47,692
They were all drowned.
248
00:16:48,609 --> 00:16:50,781
It must have been a bit of
sadness for you, Missy.
249
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,617
Oh no. I've quite forgotten
what he looked like.
250
00:16:53,867 --> 00:16:58,114
I saw a drowned man once. They took
him out of the Thames. He was green.
251
00:16:59,726 --> 00:17:00,800
Frogs.
252
00:17:01,614 --> 00:17:03,598
There must be lots of frogs.
253
00:17:04,872 --> 00:17:07,194
We used to have such
fun with them at home.
254
00:17:07,942 --> 00:17:11,767
We used to put them on the dining-table
and make them jump in the marmalade pot.
255
00:17:24,590 --> 00:17:27,124
Look. There's a bird's nest.
- So there is.
256
00:17:27,425 --> 00:17:29,585
It must be last summer's.
- I should like to have that.
257
00:17:29,801 --> 00:17:30,956
Bates, stop please.
258
00:17:33,961 --> 00:17:35,709
Oh .. I have it.
259
00:17:37,576 --> 00:17:40,244
Isn't it beautiful?
- Oh dear, it's all cobwebby.
260
00:17:41,088 --> 00:17:43,437
And it has a horrid smell.
- It mustn't be wasted.
261
00:17:43,773 --> 00:17:46,676
I shall save it until next year
and then I'll put it back again.
262
00:17:47,792 --> 00:17:49,568
Who knows where we'll be next year?
263
00:17:50,919 --> 00:17:53,493
Not in London anyway. You promised that.
264
00:17:54,646 --> 00:17:56,807
Yes, I promised that.
- Look.
265
00:17:59,651 --> 00:18:02,019
Louisa .. how did that happen?
266
00:18:02,290 --> 00:18:03,334
She did it.
- Who?
267
00:18:03,721 --> 00:18:04,985
That woman in London.
268
00:18:05,980 --> 00:18:08,599
She didn't give us enough food either.
- 'Discipline' she said.
269
00:18:09,276 --> 00:18:11,196
Louisa used to cry all night.
270
00:18:11,605 --> 00:18:13,863
I didn't. She couldn't discipline me.
271
00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:17,371
We'll be alright here
though with Miss Fiske.
272
00:18:17,911 --> 00:18:18,927
She won't beat us.
273
00:18:20,371 --> 00:18:22,086
No darling, she won't beat you.
274
00:18:23,299 --> 00:18:24,774
No-one will again. Ever.
275
00:18:35,203 --> 00:18:38,132
Now remember what I told you both.
You're not to talk too much.
276
00:18:38,505 --> 00:18:40,175
Wait until Miss Fiske knows you better.
277
00:18:40,391 --> 00:18:42,433
How can she get to know
us better if we don't talk?
278
00:18:43,833 --> 00:18:45,955
Come along dear.
Bates, get the luggage, will you.
279
00:18:46,171 --> 00:18:47,147
Yes, ma'am.
280
00:18:55,788 --> 00:18:57,441
They look harmless.
- What, Miss?
281
00:18:58,044 --> 00:19:00,065
Never mind. Go and put the kettle on.
- Yes, Miss.
282
00:19:07,201 --> 00:19:09,332
Well, here we are.
- I'm glad.
283
00:19:09,821 --> 00:19:12,750
Miss Fiske .. my sister
Emily, my sister Louisa.
284
00:19:13,012 --> 00:19:15,614
How do you do, Emily?
- We're very glad to be here.
285
00:19:16,355 --> 00:19:18,625
Louisa.
- I don't like people to touch me.
286
00:19:20,092 --> 00:19:22,203
I'm afraid Miss Fiske will
think you're very rude.
287
00:19:22,637 --> 00:19:25,893
They're rather tired, poor dears.
- I never get tired.
288
00:19:26,246 --> 00:19:28,424
I sometimes walk about
the house all night.
289
00:19:29,354 --> 00:19:32,358
Do you indeed?
- No, of course she doesn't, Miss Fiske.
290
00:19:35,582 --> 00:19:37,090
What beautiful furniture.
291
00:19:37,766 --> 00:19:40,401
Just like we used to have
before we lost all our money.
292
00:19:40,705 --> 00:19:44,104
Some of these <i>are </i>our things, dear.
Miss Fiske bought them at my Curio Shop.
293
00:19:44,499 --> 00:19:45,716
I want my tea.
294
00:19:45,982 --> 00:19:49,687
Emily, see .. here's the
grand champ himself.
295
00:19:50,198 --> 00:19:52,303
Remember when father bought him for us?
296
00:19:52,874 --> 00:19:54,913
I wonder if his head still nods.
297
00:19:55,230 --> 00:19:57,850
Ding-dong, ding-dong ..
- Louisa, dear.
298
00:19:58,188 --> 00:20:00,094
Bates, be careful.
You'll scratch the furniture.
299
00:20:00,329 --> 00:20:01,719
Very good, ma'am.
300
00:20:07,149 --> 00:20:09,201
I must say you've brought
enough luggage with you.
301
00:20:09,549 --> 00:20:11,220
We've brought everything.
- Everything?
302
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,760
We had to.
- Why?
303
00:20:13,089 --> 00:20:14,453
When they sent for the police.
304
00:20:14,787 --> 00:20:17,483
Now, my dears. I'm sure all this
can't possibly interest Miss Fiske.
305
00:20:17,819 --> 00:20:19,779
I think we should go up
and rest a bit before tea.
306
00:20:20,125 --> 00:20:22,023
Whatever you say, Ellen.
- Come along, Emily.
307
00:20:22,239 --> 00:20:24,948
That smelly train was very dirty.
308
00:20:25,188 --> 00:20:28,708
She's always fussing about the dirt.
I hope you keep things tidy here.
309
00:20:28,924 --> 00:20:32,483
Cleanliness is next to
Godliness .. don't you agree?
310
00:20:33,018 --> 00:20:35,985
Well .. I'm quite clean, I believe.
311
00:20:36,652 --> 00:20:39,005
But I don't know that
I'm particularly Godly.
312
00:20:39,668 --> 00:20:41,267
I thought you were a Roman.
313
00:20:41,837 --> 00:20:42,824
Isn't that yours?
314
00:20:43,077 --> 00:20:45,458
Miss Fiske is a Roman, dear.
And a very devoted one.
315
00:20:45,929 --> 00:20:47,614
Come along Louisa, Emily.
316
00:20:47,957 --> 00:20:50,102
Father, didn't approve of Romans.
317
00:20:52,032 --> 00:20:53,290
And neither do I.
318
00:21:13,724 --> 00:21:16,116
I expect it's one of those boobies.
319
00:21:16,588 --> 00:21:20,641
Miss Emily was drawing cat's faces on
brown paper yesterday when you were out.
320
00:21:21,138 --> 00:21:23,357
I can't stand it. I can't stand it.
321
00:21:23,721 --> 00:21:26,634
My lovely paisley shawl. It's ruined.
322
00:21:27,927 --> 00:21:31,189
You'd better get some vinegar and see
if you can do something about this spot.
323
00:21:31,443 --> 00:21:32,256
Yes, Miss.
324
00:21:32,810 --> 00:21:35,900
I'm utterly exhausted clearing
up after their messes.
325
00:21:36,172 --> 00:21:38,204
I don't wonder, Miss. So am I.
326
00:21:38,529 --> 00:21:42,030
And you should see their
bedroom. It's like a goat's-pen.
327
00:21:42,483 --> 00:21:45,783
I know it. If it isn't one
thing, it's another.
328
00:21:46,153 --> 00:21:49,633
For the last six weeks were like living
in the middle of Piccadilly Circus.
329
00:21:50,566 --> 00:21:52,478
My heart won't stand it.
330
00:21:53,336 --> 00:21:55,144
Go and get my smelling salts.
331
00:21:56,829 --> 00:21:59,720
Where are they, Miss?
- In the usual place, of course.
332
00:21:59,984 --> 00:22:01,928
Nothing is in the usual
place these days.
333
00:22:02,169 --> 00:22:02,822
No.
334
00:22:03,664 --> 00:22:05,532
Well then, get me a cold compress.
335
00:22:06,303 --> 00:22:09,597
I shall lie down and
take a nap while I can.
336
00:22:13,641 --> 00:22:14,627
Miss Fiske.
337
00:22:14,950 --> 00:22:18,862
Yes, what is it? What is it?
- Will they be staying much longer?
338
00:22:20,743 --> 00:22:23,049
They'll have my invitation
to go this evening.
339
00:22:26,420 --> 00:22:30,273
Oh dear, I wonder where Emily has
gone to. She ought to be back by now.
340
00:22:31,513 --> 00:22:33,331
I can't see her anywhere.
341
00:22:33,776 --> 00:22:37,997
I wish I were brave like Emily.
I should like to take long walks too.
342
00:22:38,404 --> 00:22:40,016
And pick up things.
343
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,248
Perhaps I shall be able to
after we've stayed here longer.
344
00:22:44,902 --> 00:22:46,145
I'm sure you will, dear.
345
00:22:46,442 --> 00:22:48,530
I shall be staying here, shan't I?
346
00:22:49,544 --> 00:22:52,354
You're not planning to send us away?
Are you, Ellen?
347
00:22:53,227 --> 00:22:54,739
No dear. Of course I'm not.
348
00:22:55,199 --> 00:22:57,189
This is what you've always promised us.
349
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,885
A little place in the country
where we can always be safe.
350
00:23:01,424 --> 00:23:04,604
Yes .. it's the one thing
I've been working for.
351
00:23:05,415 --> 00:23:07,236
Ever since we had to
give up the old house.
352
00:23:07,574 --> 00:23:10,567
Naturally, Estuary House
could never be like that.
353
00:23:11,114 --> 00:23:12,511
But it's nice enough.
354
00:23:12,898 --> 00:23:14,774
Yes, and Miss Fiske has
been very kind to us.
355
00:23:15,471 --> 00:23:18,924
Miss Fiske .. may I tell
you something, Ellen?
356
00:23:19,743 --> 00:23:21,102
Just one of my secrets.
357
00:23:21,866 --> 00:23:22,931
Of course you may.
358
00:23:23,717 --> 00:23:25,589
I don't like Miss Fiske.
359
00:23:27,025 --> 00:23:30,951
Couldn't we send her away? Then it
would <i>really</i> be just the three of us.
360
00:23:31,260 --> 00:23:33,656
But I keep telling you,
Louisa. It's <i>her</i> house.
361
00:23:34,059 --> 00:23:36,189
Oh no. You'll never
make me believe that.
362
00:23:36,987 --> 00:23:38,457
All out lovely things are there.
363
00:23:39,795 --> 00:23:43,336
We'll never have to go away, will we?
- No, darling. I promised you.
364
00:23:44,163 --> 00:23:44,998
Never.
365
00:23:46,020 --> 00:23:48,323
I think Miss Fiske wants us to go.
366
00:23:49,091 --> 00:23:50,341
Both of us.
367
00:23:50,928 --> 00:23:52,812
I'm sure I can persuade
her to let you stay.
368
00:23:54,613 --> 00:23:56,349
Oh dear, I do wish Emily would come.
369
00:23:56,602 --> 00:23:58,912
Maybe we'd better get along
home in case she's waiting there.
370
00:23:59,701 --> 00:24:00,838
Come along, dear.
371
00:24:01,945 --> 00:24:04,810
I don't want her upsetting Miss Fiske
again. She can be very tactless.
372
00:24:23,370 --> 00:24:25,220
Here girl, take this.
373
00:24:25,436 --> 00:24:27,267
Thanks a lot. What are we to do with it?
374
00:24:27,506 --> 00:24:29,709
Put it in the woodshed,
where it belongs.
375
00:24:29,962 --> 00:24:33,268
The woodshed is full. I won't have
you cluttering up my kitchen with it.
376
00:24:33,731 --> 00:24:35,093
Very well then.
377
00:24:44,580 --> 00:24:46,788
Oh dear ..
378
00:24:48,844 --> 00:24:50,225
What is it now?
379
00:24:54,808 --> 00:24:56,535
Wait until Miss Fiske sees this.
380
00:24:57,306 --> 00:24:59,938
What's the matter now? My goodness.
381
00:25:00,154 --> 00:25:02,116
More wood?
- Yes. Miss Emily dumped it.
382
00:25:02,602 --> 00:25:04,986
Never mind. You get out of here.
- I got a nice lot today.
383
00:25:05,672 --> 00:25:08,305
What are you thinking of? Making a
mess with it all over my clean floor.
384
00:25:08,521 --> 00:25:10,394
The girl wouldn't let
me put it in the kitchen.
385
00:25:10,671 --> 00:25:13,708
She's quite right. I told you to stop
bringing in wood. We have enough.
386
00:25:13,924 --> 00:25:16,497
I must tidy up the river
banks. I hate waste.
387
00:25:16,713 --> 00:25:18,995
And I hate litter. Now you
clear it away immediately.
388
00:25:19,239 --> 00:25:21,201
I won't be ordered to do things.
389
00:25:22,767 --> 00:25:24,118
This is too much.
390
00:25:24,496 --> 00:25:26,293
My best polished table.
391
00:25:26,789 --> 00:25:28,933
Look how these shells have scratched it.
392
00:25:29,269 --> 00:25:31,965
What's this? Wet seaweed and a horrid ..
393
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,604
Dead bird.
394
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,561
Leave my bird alone. And my shells.
395
00:25:37,060 --> 00:25:38,248
They are my treasures.
396
00:25:38,610 --> 00:25:41,515
We don't understand expensive things.
It's so long since we had any.
397
00:25:41,981 --> 00:25:44,044
I know it's very simple of me.
But I am simple.
398
00:25:44,260 --> 00:25:46,087
Emily .. what's wrong?
399
00:25:46,309 --> 00:25:48,986
I hate her. She threw my
bird into the fireplace.
400
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,507
Emily, control yourself.
401
00:25:50,723 --> 00:25:52,603
See what she's done
with her ridiculous shells.
402
00:25:52,885 --> 00:25:54,816
It will take a month's
polishing to put it right.
403
00:25:55,032 --> 00:25:56,708
I'm sorry Miss Fiske, I'll put it right.
404
00:25:57,276 --> 00:26:00,394
No Ellen, you shan't. I'll do it.
Let me do it. I'll polish it.
405
00:26:00,610 --> 00:26:02,434
Every day, all through the winter.
406
00:26:02,769 --> 00:26:05,511
Sweet of you, Louisa. But I doubt
you'll be here through the winter.
407
00:26:05,969 --> 00:26:07,630
But we shall. Ellen said so.
408
00:26:07,953 --> 00:26:10,046
You're mistaken, Louisa.
I said nothing of the kind.
409
00:26:10,262 --> 00:26:12,701
But you did. You promised.
- Louisa, will you be quiet.
410
00:26:16,013 --> 00:26:18,157
My heavens. This is the last straw.
411
00:26:18,802 --> 00:26:20,996
You'll drive me as crazy as yourselves.
412
00:26:24,448 --> 00:26:25,406
Oh, Ellen.
413
00:26:27,312 --> 00:26:28,535
Miss Fiske.
414
00:26:29,134 --> 00:26:31,588
I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to say that, but ..
415
00:26:32,377 --> 00:26:34,890
I've had about as much as I can endure.
416
00:26:36,396 --> 00:26:39,219
Emily .. take Louisa upstairs.
417
00:26:39,889 --> 00:26:41,482
Now, stop your crying, Louisa.
418
00:26:42,358 --> 00:26:44,045
There's nothing to cry about.
419
00:26:45,286 --> 00:26:46,141
Do you hear?
420
00:26:46,743 --> 00:26:48,817
Go upstairs. Both of you.
421
00:26:51,981 --> 00:26:53,380
And close the door behind you.
422
00:26:58,271 --> 00:27:00,113
That was a cruel thing to say.
423
00:27:00,788 --> 00:27:01,944
But it's true.
424
00:27:02,778 --> 00:27:06,123
One with her telescope and the other
with her mania for collecting things.
425
00:27:06,703 --> 00:27:08,149
They are insane, both of them.
426
00:27:08,609 --> 00:27:10,479
Please don't use that word again.
427
00:27:11,078 --> 00:27:12,310
Emily was right.
428
00:27:12,956 --> 00:27:14,664
But then people who
have all they want ..
429
00:27:15,013 --> 00:27:17,979
Never understand how much the smallest
things mean to those who haven't.
430
00:27:18,345 --> 00:27:19,046
Really?
431
00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:21,362
I don't think this calls for a sermon.
432
00:27:22,276 --> 00:27:24,365
I've been more than generous
to you and your sisters.
433
00:27:24,581 --> 00:27:26,750
People have always been very
generous to you, Miss Fiske.
434
00:27:26,966 --> 00:27:29,126
My sisters and I have never had
friends to send <i>us</i> money.
435
00:27:29,379 --> 00:27:31,480
That's hardly my fault, is it.
- No.
436
00:27:31,793 --> 00:27:35,189
Don't you feel you have a responsibility
to those less fortunate than you?
437
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,615
I don't know what you're talking about.
438
00:27:38,441 --> 00:27:40,476
Life hasn't been very
kind to us, Miss Fiske.
439
00:27:40,817 --> 00:27:42,798
Every penny we've ever
had, I've had to work for.
440
00:27:43,014 --> 00:27:45,706
Every penny. But at least
we have our self-respect.
441
00:27:47,024 --> 00:27:48,654
How dare you.
442
00:27:49,634 --> 00:27:51,866
How dare you criticise my life.
443
00:27:52,216 --> 00:27:55,606
Do you think I don't envy women who
have respectability? Who have families?
444
00:27:55,822 --> 00:27:58,890
Who aren't just forgotten and pensioned
off when they lose their stock-in-trade.
445
00:27:59,208 --> 00:28:01,196
Then you can't blame me
for fighting for my family.
446
00:28:01,412 --> 00:28:03,466
Very admirable, but it's
your family and not mine.
447
00:28:03,941 --> 00:28:05,065
Let me tell you this.
448
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,935
Your sisters, insane or not,
have overstayed their welcome.
449
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,611
I invite them here for two days
and they've stayed six weeks.
450
00:28:10,827 --> 00:28:13,450
Or perhaps you were planning
to keep them here forever?
451
00:28:14,485 --> 00:28:16,324
Well .. I had thought ..
452
00:28:17,124 --> 00:28:19,622
That I might pay something out
of my wages for their keep.
453
00:28:19,895 --> 00:28:22,261
Ellen, you're a hypocrite.
You're worse, you're a cheat.
454
00:28:22,937 --> 00:28:26,279
You meant to foist your wretched
brood on me and bleed me white.
455
00:28:26,626 --> 00:28:30,814
And when I saw through your scheme, you
had the insolence to turn and abuse me.
456
00:28:31,124 --> 00:28:32,701
But you've chosen the wrong woman.
457
00:28:32,917 --> 00:28:35,255
You get those sisters of yours
out of this house at once.
458
00:28:35,604 --> 00:28:37,644
And take a month's wages
and go with them.
459
00:28:39,743 --> 00:28:40,815
Miss Fiske.
460
00:29:08,710 --> 00:29:11,039
Ellen .. why aren't you in bed?
461
00:29:11,451 --> 00:29:13,179
Why are you prowling about at this hour?
462
00:29:13,761 --> 00:29:16,786
Miss Fiske, may I come in?
I must talk with you, please.
463
00:29:17,357 --> 00:29:18,516
Well, mind your tongue.
464
00:29:18,764 --> 00:29:20,987
We don't want any more of
this afternoon's unpleasantness.
465
00:29:23,612 --> 00:29:24,936
I'm sorry about that.
466
00:29:25,715 --> 00:29:27,833
I was wrong. I shouldn't
have spoken to you as I did.
467
00:29:28,791 --> 00:29:30,462
No .. you shouldn't.
468
00:29:37,617 --> 00:29:38,744
Miss Fiske.
469
00:29:39,702 --> 00:29:42,303
Do you remember the letter that arrived
the day I went away to London?
470
00:29:42,556 --> 00:29:46,058
Yes .. what about it?
- It was from their landlady.
471
00:29:46,613 --> 00:29:47,747
Emily and Louisa.
472
00:29:48,187 --> 00:29:49,552
Had been a little difficult.
473
00:29:49,893 --> 00:29:51,137
She'd sent for the police.
474
00:29:52,329 --> 00:29:54,369
They were going to be
put away in an institution.
475
00:29:54,764 --> 00:29:57,034
The landlady was quite right.
That's where they belong.
476
00:29:57,393 --> 00:30:00,433
But Miss Fiske, you don't
understand. They're my sisters.
477
00:30:00,820 --> 00:30:02,707
You don't know what I've
gone through for them.
478
00:30:02,923 --> 00:30:05,036
They've no-one else in the
world to turn to but me.
479
00:30:05,740 --> 00:30:08,948
I pleaded with the police to release
them. They agreed on one condition.
480
00:30:09,533 --> 00:30:11,458
That they were to remain
in my personal care.
481
00:30:11,740 --> 00:30:13,336
That I was to be responsible for them.
482
00:30:13,787 --> 00:30:15,440
And if there were any more complaints.
483
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,522
That they were to be put away forever.
That's why I can't send them away.
484
00:30:19,825 --> 00:30:21,889
All this devotion is
very admirable, Ellen.
485
00:30:22,285 --> 00:30:24,471
But I fail to see how I can
help in any way at all.
486
00:30:24,801 --> 00:30:26,903
Oh but you can. You can, Miss Fiske.
487
00:30:27,618 --> 00:30:29,823
I thought perhaps they
might use the attic upstairs.
488
00:30:30,162 --> 00:30:32,379
They'll stay there out of the
way where you don't see them.
489
00:30:32,716 --> 00:30:34,876
They could use the back stairs
when they come in and out.
490
00:30:35,129 --> 00:30:37,055
Ellen, what are you talking about?
491
00:30:37,271 --> 00:30:40,267
I promise they'll never come near you.
You'll never know they're in the house.
492
00:30:40,829 --> 00:30:43,797
I'll look after them myself.
I'll cook their meals for them.
493
00:30:44,387 --> 00:30:46,231
I promise they won't
be any more trouble.
494
00:30:46,913 --> 00:30:49,120
Miss Fiske, they must
be with me, they must.
495
00:30:49,439 --> 00:30:51,590
I'll pay for their keep.
I'll work for nothing.
496
00:30:51,834 --> 00:30:54,509
Please .. oh, please Miss Fiske.
497
00:30:54,829 --> 00:30:56,720
Ellen, have you quite
gone out of your mind?
498
00:30:57,064 --> 00:31:00,126
You must be blind if you can't realise
they'd always be getting in my way.
499
00:31:00,342 --> 00:31:02,612
You pack them off tomorrow.
- But, Miss Fiske. Won't ..?
500
00:31:02,828 --> 00:31:04,369
No Ellen, my mind is made up.
501
00:31:05,471 --> 00:31:09,239
If you want to, you can stay here a few
days until you've found a new situation.
502
00:31:10,018 --> 00:31:12,814
Now run along to bed. And make
certain they leave tomorrow.
503
00:31:14,132 --> 00:31:16,592
You wouldn't want me to be sending
for the police, would you?
504
00:31:18,682 --> 00:31:20,329
Goodnight Ellen. I'm tired.
505
00:31:24,230 --> 00:31:25,186
Goodnight.
506
00:31:48,528 --> 00:31:50,908
But you told her you were
going to send us away.
507
00:31:52,592 --> 00:31:54,344
I'm not going to send you away.
508
00:31:54,732 --> 00:31:56,620
We heard you. We were listening.
509
00:31:57,784 --> 00:31:59,386
Isn't she terrible, Ellen?
510
00:32:00,207 --> 00:32:01,536
She's wicked.
511
00:32:03,006 --> 00:32:04,907
I'm not going to send you away.
512
00:32:06,836 --> 00:32:07,678
Never.
513
00:32:08,554 --> 00:32:11,269
If you're not sending us away,
what are you going to do?
514
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,293
I don't know.
515
00:32:16,674 --> 00:32:17,831
I must think.
516
00:32:30,078 --> 00:32:32,550
I've always wanted
to explore an old castle.
517
00:32:32,971 --> 00:32:35,857
Will it have a dungeon do you think?
- They all have dungeons.
518
00:32:36,191 --> 00:32:36,978
With bats.
519
00:32:37,415 --> 00:32:39,138
No, dear. Bats are in belfries.
520
00:32:39,459 --> 00:32:43,180
There's sure to be secret passageways
and places where they'd hide things.
521
00:32:45,198 --> 00:32:46,346
Like that.
522
00:32:54,259 --> 00:32:58,372
Yes .. I'm sure Miss Fiske has lots
of exciting things hidden in there.
523
00:32:58,588 --> 00:33:00,212
Her jewels, I'm sure.
524
00:33:01,019 --> 00:33:04,181
I've looked in all her boxes and
haven't been able to find them.
525
00:33:04,718 --> 00:33:07,167
Are you both ready?
- Oh yes. Quite.
526
00:33:07,404 --> 00:33:10,004
I managed to pack all
the lunch into one bag.
527
00:33:10,660 --> 00:33:11,630
Mine.
528
00:33:12,914 --> 00:33:15,600
Come here and sit down.
I want to talk to you both.
529
00:33:25,193 --> 00:33:25,808
Now.
530
00:33:26,107 --> 00:33:28,868
I haven't told you the real reason why
you're being sent away for a whole day.
531
00:33:29,589 --> 00:33:32,633
The truth is I want to be entirely
alone with Miss Fiske for a few hours.
532
00:33:32,849 --> 00:33:34,817
Is that why you got rid of Lucy too?
533
00:33:35,131 --> 00:33:37,177
I didn't get rid of Lucy, Emily.
She had a toothache.
534
00:33:37,393 --> 00:33:40,293
Oh Ellen dear, you know that's
not true. She didn't want to go at all.
535
00:33:40,754 --> 00:33:42,833
I said she had a toothache, Louisa.
536
00:33:44,698 --> 00:33:45,628
Now listen.
537
00:33:46,220 --> 00:33:49,408
Last night, while you were both asleep,
I had a long talk with Miss Fiske.
538
00:33:50,131 --> 00:33:52,867
She's tired of the marshes
and wants to travel for a bit.
539
00:33:53,530 --> 00:33:55,633
I've persuaded her to
sell this house to me.
540
00:33:55,849 --> 00:33:58,210
Not really, Ellen?
- We haven't discussed price yet.
541
00:33:58,976 --> 00:34:02,422
That's why I must be alone with her, so
we can talk with nothing to distract us.
542
00:34:02,694 --> 00:34:05,355
She may want more than
you're prepared to pay.
543
00:34:07,101 --> 00:34:09,142
I'm prepared to pay
quite a big price, Emily.
544
00:34:09,569 --> 00:34:11,442
Oh, lovely, lovely, lovely.
545
00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:14,491
Oh Emily, aren't you excited?
- Louisa, be quiet.
546
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:17,415
Now, there's one more thing.
547
00:34:18,401 --> 00:34:19,716
The most important.
548
00:34:35,231 --> 00:34:36,722
You see this bible, both of you?
549
00:34:37,587 --> 00:34:39,899
I want you to swear on it.
By father's memory.
550
00:34:40,590 --> 00:34:43,550
That you'll never repeat a word of my
buying this house as long as you live.
551
00:34:45,940 --> 00:34:46,963
What do I say?
552
00:34:47,581 --> 00:34:48,963
Just say 'I swear'.
553
00:34:49,670 --> 00:34:51,113
Oh .. I swear.
554
00:34:51,554 --> 00:34:52,484
You too, Emily.
555
00:34:52,787 --> 00:34:54,831
I won't swear on the bible. It's wicked.
556
00:34:55,435 --> 00:34:56,571
If you don't Emily ..
557
00:34:56,869 --> 00:34:59,143
I shan't buy the house and I'll
send you both back to London.
558
00:34:59,426 --> 00:35:01,058
Oh Emily, be sensible.
559
00:35:01,660 --> 00:35:04,984
I don't like being made
to do things .. I promise.
560
00:35:05,604 --> 00:35:06,759
Now, remember.
561
00:35:07,527 --> 00:35:09,016
That's a sacred oath.
562
00:35:15,968 --> 00:35:18,162
Here's Bates. Hurry now.
There's no time to waste.
563
00:35:35,582 --> 00:35:38,805
Drive slowly Bates.
Please don't let them get cold.
564
00:35:39,425 --> 00:35:42,412
You can take your time. I shan't be
expecting you back before dusk.
565
00:35:42,815 --> 00:35:43,999
Very good, ma'am.
566
00:35:44,599 --> 00:35:47,698
Goodbye Ellen. I wish you could come.
- I wish you were coming too.
567
00:35:48,129 --> 00:35:49,432
Goodbye Ellen.
- Goodbye.
568
00:35:49,861 --> 00:35:50,855
Goodbye, dears.
569
00:35:51,341 --> 00:35:53,195
Have a good time.
- Thank you.
570
00:36:58,085 --> 00:36:59,246
I'm out of practice.
571
00:37:11,178 --> 00:37:14,210
To dear Louisa and dear Emily.
572
00:37:14,858 --> 00:37:16,359
May we never meet again.
573
00:37:22,767 --> 00:37:24,335
That is so good.
574
00:39:14,210 --> 00:39:16,013
[ Door knocks ]
575
00:39:20,175 --> 00:39:22,634
May we come in?
- Yes.
576
00:39:25,330 --> 00:39:28,536
I'd like to speak to Miss Ellen.
Unless Miss Fiske is back?
577
00:39:29,038 --> 00:39:32,096
No, she's still away. I'll fetch Ellen.
578
00:39:34,682 --> 00:39:36,292
We're making jam.
579
00:39:44,568 --> 00:39:45,883
Good evening.
580
00:39:46,963 --> 00:39:48,418
It isn't a very good one, is it?
581
00:39:48,747 --> 00:39:52,681
No, as a matter of fact it's not.
Cats and dogs.
582
00:39:55,747 --> 00:39:56,934
Good evening, Sisters.
583
00:39:57,318 --> 00:39:58,650
Sorry to keep you waiting.
584
00:39:58,866 --> 00:40:00,911
But we're in the middle of
putting up our quince jam.
585
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,087
Please don't apologise. I'm afraid
we've come on a begging errand.
586
00:40:04,550 --> 00:40:06,781
Our supplier of oil hasn't
arrived from Rochester.
587
00:40:07,225 --> 00:40:10,245
And the Reverend Mother wondered
if we might borrow a can until Sunday.
588
00:40:10,738 --> 00:40:12,225
Of course .. Lucy.
589
00:40:16,315 --> 00:40:17,179
Yes, Miss?
590
00:40:17,438 --> 00:40:19,874
Will you run out to the shed
and bring in a can of paraffin.
591
00:40:21,575 --> 00:40:22,653
Yes, Miss Ellen.
592
00:40:24,007 --> 00:40:25,588
Won't you sit down, Sisters?
593
00:40:50,207 --> 00:40:51,986
Hey. Shush ..
594
00:40:53,587 --> 00:40:54,636
You again.
595
00:40:55,191 --> 00:40:56,464
Bad pennies always turn up.
596
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,166
What are you doing here, hanging
about with the storm and all?
597
00:40:59,382 --> 00:41:01,834
I've a little business inside.
Had to ensure the coast was clear.
598
00:41:02,199 --> 00:41:03,901
What business?
- Listen, Lucky.
599
00:41:04,179 --> 00:41:05,963
Is Miss Fiske about?
- No, she's away.
600
00:41:06,198 --> 00:41:08,242
And my aunt Ellen?
- She's here right enough.
601
00:41:08,601 --> 00:41:11,306
And them two crazy sisters of hers.
- Does she know I've been here before?
602
00:41:11,776 --> 00:41:14,618
No. Mistress said not to say.
- Good. Get on with your work.
603
00:41:15,044 --> 00:41:17,096
I'll come in the front door
like a proper gentleman.
604
00:41:18,142 --> 00:41:20,067
Remember .. we don't know each other.
605
00:41:20,424 --> 00:41:22,135
Not that we shan't .. later.
606
00:41:22,483 --> 00:41:24,169
I'm very particular who I know.
607
00:41:30,205 --> 00:41:33,391
For a moment, when I saw the candles
burning, I thought Miss Fiske was back.
608
00:41:33,607 --> 00:41:35,165
Ellen's been lighting them lately.
609
00:41:35,381 --> 00:41:38,777
She thinks Miss Fiske would like her to.
She says it keeps her memory burning.
610
00:41:40,386 --> 00:41:42,024
When are you expecting her back?
611
00:41:42,607 --> 00:41:44,132
I really couldn't say, Sister.
612
00:41:44,649 --> 00:41:46,293
She hasn't written for over a fortnight.
613
00:41:46,601 --> 00:41:48,509
We were so surprised
to learn she'd gone.
614
00:41:48,986 --> 00:41:51,374
She hadn't mentioned she was
planning a journey anywhere.
615
00:41:51,718 --> 00:41:53,242
No. It was quite unexpected.
616
00:41:53,558 --> 00:41:56,143
She had a letter from some old
friends inviting her on a trip.
617
00:41:56,566 --> 00:41:58,438
As they were sailing
the very next morning.
618
00:41:58,858 --> 00:42:01,023
The Reverend Mother wonders
what to do about the rent.
619
00:42:01,426 --> 00:42:03,908
From the little 3-acre field
we hire from Miss Fiske.
620
00:42:04,610 --> 00:42:07,476
Well, I'm managing all her
affairs while she's away, Sister.
621
00:42:07,990 --> 00:42:10,527
If you send it to me, I'll forward
it when I get her next address.
622
00:42:10,929 --> 00:42:12,143
Here, Miss Ellen.
623
00:42:12,665 --> 00:42:14,460
Good evening, Sisters.
- Thank you.
624
00:42:14,676 --> 00:42:17,225
That seems heavy. Go with the
Sisters Lucy and give them a hand.
625
00:42:17,662 --> 00:42:20,237
That's very kind of you, Miss Ellen.
- We've been bother enough.
626
00:42:20,526 --> 00:42:23,279
I'll be glad to go. I'll get my cloak.
627
00:42:23,813 --> 00:42:27,025
I think you are so brave
going out in the dark. I ..
628
00:42:29,550 --> 00:42:31,983
I hate the dark .. it frightens me.
629
00:42:32,329 --> 00:42:33,522
It shouldn't, my dear.
630
00:42:33,962 --> 00:42:35,605
Don't you believe we're watched over?
631
00:42:35,929 --> 00:42:36,605
Yes.
632
00:42:36,916 --> 00:42:39,057
But I'm never quite sure
who is watching us.
633
00:42:40,248 --> 00:42:42,591
I'm quite ready.
- We'd better be going.
634
00:42:43,099 --> 00:42:45,775
Goodnight and thank you very much.
- Goodnight Sisters.
635
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:47,278
Goodnight.
636
00:42:49,166 --> 00:42:51,399
There dear, you carry the oil.
637
00:42:51,737 --> 00:42:53,833
And I'll hold the umbrella over us both.
638
00:42:55,061 --> 00:42:56,885
Goodnight again.
- Goodnight.
639
00:42:57,307 --> 00:42:58,265
Goodnight.
640
00:43:02,547 --> 00:43:04,002
I must get back to the jam.
641
00:43:09,740 --> 00:43:12,474
Ellen was unusually nice to
Sister Theresa, wasn't she.
642
00:43:12,982 --> 00:43:14,966
They were quite chatty together.
- Louisa.
643
00:43:15,572 --> 00:43:16,883
I think Ellen is changing.
644
00:43:17,727 --> 00:43:19,727
I hope she's not getting
in league with the nuns.
645
00:43:20,445 --> 00:43:21,260
Against us.
646
00:43:21,660 --> 00:43:24,500
Ellen would never do that.
- She's taken to lighting those candles.
647
00:43:26,228 --> 00:43:29,299
I think I'll blow them out.
- Ellen wouldn't like that.
648
00:43:37,250 --> 00:43:39,018
Why should she have
everything her own way?
649
00:43:45,983 --> 00:43:47,147
Emily.
650
00:43:47,882 --> 00:43:50,640
What have you done?
- Something I wanted to do.
651
00:43:53,975 --> 00:43:55,167
[ Door knocks ]
652
00:43:57,910 --> 00:44:02,446
Louisa .. answer the door dear. Sister
Theresa's probably forgotten something.
653
00:44:02,792 --> 00:44:04,069
[ Door knocks ]
654
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:15,529
Alright.
655
00:44:15,879 --> 00:44:17,664
Don't be like that. I won't eat you.
656
00:44:20,998 --> 00:44:22,181
Who are you?
657
00:44:24,238 --> 00:44:25,637
And what do you want?
658
00:44:28,407 --> 00:44:29,447
Dear aunt Ellen.
659
00:44:30,236 --> 00:44:31,460
After all these years.
660
00:44:33,102 --> 00:44:35,749
What a family reunion. I'm Albert.
Don't you remember me?
661
00:44:35,965 --> 00:44:36,876
Albert.
662
00:44:37,941 --> 00:44:40,363
Of course. Rose's boy.
- So it is.
663
00:44:40,644 --> 00:44:43,402
Fancy Albert being here.
- Where on earth did you come from?
664
00:44:43,771 --> 00:44:45,815
Gravesend .. on a duck's back.
665
00:44:46,335 --> 00:44:48,923
It's Albert right enough.
Always saying funny things.
666
00:44:49,151 --> 00:44:51,064
He's soaked through.
- Yes, so I see.
667
00:44:51,292 --> 00:44:53,195
Don't stand there dripping
all over my best rug.
668
00:44:53,411 --> 00:44:55,045
Go by the fire with your wet things.
669
00:44:55,353 --> 00:44:58,190
That's more like my loving auntie.
My very distant auntie.
670
00:44:59,169 --> 00:45:03,139
Now we'll have fun with Albert here.
I'll go and fetch him a dressing gown.
671
00:45:03,573 --> 00:45:06,231
And I'll get him a towel.
So he can dry himself.
672
00:45:16,093 --> 00:45:17,967
Blimey, if that don't half
make my mouth water.
673
00:45:18,244 --> 00:45:21,154
Some nice, tasty grub and something
warm to chase it down the hatchway.
674
00:45:21,586 --> 00:45:22,690
That's what I need.
675
00:45:23,023 --> 00:45:25,422
Albert, tell me. Why have you come here?
676
00:45:26,169 --> 00:45:28,530
That can wait until I'm dry outside.
And not so dry, in.
677
00:45:28,779 --> 00:45:30,060
There you are, Albert.
678
00:45:30,552 --> 00:45:31,975
Thanks, me old cup of tea.
679
00:45:32,431 --> 00:45:34,816
Emily, slice off some beef,
and put out the bread and cheese.
680
00:45:35,830 --> 00:45:38,158
A pint of half-and-half would
be the proper ticket with that.
681
00:45:38,374 --> 00:45:39,680
This isn't a Tavern, Albert.
682
00:45:40,391 --> 00:45:43,061
How about a spot of brandy to
take the damp out of my throat?
683
00:45:43,426 --> 00:45:45,228
I'm unsure there's any
left in the decanter.
684
00:45:45,444 --> 00:45:46,717
There's some in the cellar.
685
00:45:47,395 --> 00:45:49,813
A cellar, eh? Your Ladyship,
allow me to lead you to it.
686
00:45:50,487 --> 00:45:52,705
No .. I'll go myself.
687
00:45:54,020 --> 00:45:55,499
Make way for the Duchess.
688
00:46:27,321 --> 00:46:29,640
Blimey. The view from here
is the best on the marshes.
689
00:46:30,542 --> 00:46:33,481
I say auntie, is this all yours?
- No, of course not.
690
00:46:34,251 --> 00:46:36,166
It belongs to the woman
I work for. Miss Fiske.
691
00:46:37,011 --> 00:46:39,510
Where is she, might I ask?
- Away.
692
00:46:41,683 --> 00:46:44,148
Five years, auntie old girl.
- What of it?
693
00:46:44,453 --> 00:46:46,646
You've changed.
- You've not.
694
00:46:47,504 --> 00:46:50,373
The same big blue eyes though.
You're still Lady touch-me-not.
695
00:46:50,847 --> 00:46:53,265
Let go of me. I'm in no
mood for your foolishness.
696
00:46:54,208 --> 00:46:55,739
The way you seem to be all keyed up.
697
00:46:55,999 --> 00:46:58,072
A little of my foolishness
just might do you no harm.
698
00:47:01,721 --> 00:47:02,961
Here's your food, Albert.
699
00:47:04,313 --> 00:47:07,205
Run up to bed, both of you.
I want to talk with Albert.
700
00:47:07,421 --> 00:47:10,580
But we don't want to go to bed.
- No, we want to stay to talk to Albert.
701
00:47:10,905 --> 00:47:13,857
Go on, do as aunt Ellen says. Toddle off
to bye-byes like good little girls.
702
00:47:14,125 --> 00:47:16,821
Here, wait. Why don't you wet your
whistles. It will make you sleep tight.
703
00:47:17,178 --> 00:47:19,055
Sleep tight. Albert, you are silly.
704
00:47:19,553 --> 00:47:22,004
I don't think they'd better, Albert.
- What's the harm?
705
00:47:22,483 --> 00:47:24,708
You don't have a long-lost
nephew every night of the week.
706
00:47:25,121 --> 00:47:26,369
Fetch some glasses, Emily.
707
00:47:26,585 --> 00:47:29,797
Very well, but not too much now.
- Just a tiny thimbleful for me, Albert.
708
00:47:31,252 --> 00:47:32,688
How about you, aunt Ellen?
709
00:47:33,327 --> 00:47:34,716
Nothing for me, thank you.
710
00:47:37,757 --> 00:47:40,199
Now, my Siamese twins.
What about a toast, eh?
711
00:47:40,523 --> 00:47:41,905
I don't know any.
712
00:47:42,140 --> 00:47:44,008
In that case, here's to absent friends.
713
00:47:44,328 --> 00:47:45,464
Absent friends.
714
00:47:46,046 --> 00:47:48,543
Ellen, I suppose we
should think of Miss Fiske.
715
00:48:01,321 --> 00:48:03,604
Who put out those candles?
- What candles?
716
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,445
Oh those.
- It must have been the wind.
717
00:48:10,055 --> 00:48:11,998
Goodnight, Albert.
- Goodnight my lady.
718
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,204
Goodnight, Albert.
- Goodnight.
719
00:48:21,642 --> 00:48:23,379
It wasn't the wind, Ellen.
720
00:48:38,904 --> 00:48:41,109
I say auntie, you've not
turned Roman have you?
721
00:48:41,466 --> 00:48:42,763
I do this for a friend.
722
00:48:48,243 --> 00:48:49,129
Now, Albert.
723
00:48:49,869 --> 00:48:52,134
Let's stop all this 'auntie' nonsense
and get down to cases.
724
00:48:52,862 --> 00:48:54,748
Why have you come here
and what do you want?
725
00:48:55,073 --> 00:48:56,918
Well auntie .. I mean, Ellen.
726
00:48:57,692 --> 00:49:02,208
To cut it fine, I'm taking a compulsory
holiday from my bank over in Gravesend.
727
00:49:02,602 --> 00:49:05,107
In other words, you've lost your job.
- I've given it up.
728
00:49:05,738 --> 00:49:07,522
You haven't done anything
wrong, have you?
729
00:49:09,237 --> 00:49:11,605
I sort-of helped myself to a
little salary I wasn't entitled to.
730
00:49:12,885 --> 00:49:14,393
You mean, you've stolen money.
731
00:49:16,415 --> 00:49:19,181
This is rattling good brandy.
- Answer me, Albert.
732
00:49:21,270 --> 00:49:23,848
You've got it.
- How much?
733
00:49:24,594 --> 00:49:27,402
A small matter of a hundred pounds.
- I'll see.
734
00:49:30,342 --> 00:49:33,271
I suppose you want me to give you the
hundred pounds so you can put it back?
735
00:49:33,515 --> 00:49:36,477
I'm afraid it's too late for that.
They found out, the police.
736
00:49:37,180 --> 00:49:38,164
The police?
737
00:49:38,389 --> 00:49:42,016
A friend passed me the tip they were
coming. So I .. I took French leave.
738
00:49:42,455 --> 00:49:44,956
But .. they'll follow you.
They'll come here.
739
00:49:46,079 --> 00:49:49,774
Don't worry .. no-one knows I've got
relations out here on the marshes.
740
00:49:51,122 --> 00:49:52,699
I'll be safe here for a lifetime.
741
00:49:53,159 --> 00:49:55,319
You're certainly not going
to stay here for a lifetime.
742
00:49:55,769 --> 00:49:57,815
Surely you don't mind me
staying for a while, do you?
743
00:49:58,340 --> 00:50:00,745
Until it all blows over.
- Then what do you propose to do?
744
00:50:01,094 --> 00:50:03,725
Clear out of the country.
America, Australia. Any old where.
745
00:50:04,230 --> 00:50:06,552
I'm .. counting on you to help me.
746
00:50:06,868 --> 00:50:08,188
I need money for my passage.
747
00:50:08,631 --> 00:50:09,630
I'm .. I'm stony.
748
00:50:11,353 --> 00:50:13,246
It won't cost much. Steerage.
749
00:50:13,691 --> 00:50:15,882
I don't see why I should concern
myself with your affairs.
750
00:50:16,414 --> 00:50:17,870
I'll land in prison if you don't.
751
00:50:19,541 --> 00:50:22,420
You're not the sort to turn anybody down
who's in trouble and needed your help.
752
00:50:23,210 --> 00:50:24,969
You wouldn't fail your
own flesh and blood.
753
00:50:25,185 --> 00:50:27,020
I'm no flesh and blood of yours, Albert.
754
00:50:27,468 --> 00:50:29,199
Won't you give me a
chance to start again?
755
00:50:29,415 --> 00:50:30,734
I promise. Cross my heart.
756
00:50:31,090 --> 00:50:33,457
I'll never do anything wrong
again for the rest of my natural.
757
00:50:33,673 --> 00:50:35,143
Let me go.
758
00:50:41,301 --> 00:50:44,030
Very well. I'll do it.
- Bless you, Ellen.
759
00:50:44,415 --> 00:50:46,973
You're a daisy, you are.
- We'll talk about it in the morning.
760
00:50:47,820 --> 00:50:50,180
You can sleep on the sofa tonight.
- I don't mind where I sleep.
761
00:50:50,396 --> 00:50:51,419
But mind you ..
762
00:50:51,635 --> 00:50:54,218
You can only stay until I've
arranged your passage on the boat.
763
00:50:54,434 --> 00:50:57,466
Anything you say,
Ellen old girl .. what's that?
764
00:50:57,983 --> 00:50:59,945
That's just the maid.
She's been out on an errand.
765
00:51:01,006 --> 00:51:02,550
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss?
766
00:51:04,518 --> 00:51:06,220
They'll be a gentleman
staying the night.
767
00:51:06,639 --> 00:51:07,819
A gentleman staying?
768
00:51:08,099 --> 00:51:09,776
A relation. He'll sleep in here.
769
00:51:10,033 --> 00:51:12,679
Now go to your room and change your
wet clothes before you start sneezing.
770
00:51:12,895 --> 00:51:15,090
Yes, Miss .. goodnight.
- Goodnight.
771
00:51:15,306 --> 00:51:16,096
Goodnight.
772
00:51:16,620 --> 00:51:17,557
'Lucy', is it?
773
00:51:19,035 --> 00:51:20,472
Yes .. Lucy.
774
00:51:23,706 --> 00:51:25,687
I fancy that's all for
tonight, aunt Ellen.
775
00:51:26,138 --> 00:51:29,180
I'll just have a weed before
I turn in. The last of the day.
776
00:51:30,306 --> 00:51:32,729
You seem to be taking this
all very lightly, Albert.
777
00:51:33,490 --> 00:51:35,166
You have told me the worst, haven't you?
778
00:51:35,601 --> 00:51:38,110
I mean, there isn't anything else?
- What else?
779
00:51:40,653 --> 00:51:42,212
There are worse things than stealing.
780
00:51:42,987 --> 00:51:43,994
For instance?
781
00:51:45,828 --> 00:51:47,359
No, there's no blood on my hands.
782
00:51:47,743 --> 00:51:49,703
Putting people out calls
for <i>real </i>nerve, you know.
783
00:51:54,270 --> 00:51:55,303
Yes.
784
00:51:59,547 --> 00:52:01,321
Goodnight, Albert.
- Nighty night.
785
00:53:12,967 --> 00:53:15,145
Did you enjoy the sermon, Mr Bates?
786
00:53:15,603 --> 00:53:16,818
Mighty powerful, Miss.
787
00:53:17,293 --> 00:53:18,797
Yes. It was, wasn't it.
788
00:53:20,284 --> 00:53:22,109
But there was a lot I didn't understand.
789
00:53:23,490 --> 00:53:24,866
The part that went ..
790
00:53:25,639 --> 00:53:26,568
How was it?
791
00:53:27,496 --> 00:53:29,004
The wicked flee.
792
00:53:30,087 --> 00:53:32,717
When no man .. pursueth.
793
00:53:34,739 --> 00:53:36,575
But .. but ..
794
00:53:38,561 --> 00:53:41,233
The righteous are as bold as a lion.
795
00:54:08,319 --> 00:54:09,297
Well.
796
00:54:10,743 --> 00:54:12,479
What do you think you're doing?
797
00:54:13,690 --> 00:54:16,840
I fooled around with this padlock
last night and it .. came off.
798
00:54:17,592 --> 00:54:18,689
You shouldn't have.
799
00:54:19,344 --> 00:54:21,297
That's where Miss Fiske
keeps her valuables.
800
00:54:21,551 --> 00:54:23,794
How does she get at them?
With a pickaxe? Look.
801
00:54:25,898 --> 00:54:28,667
Well I never. All bricked up.
802
00:54:29,531 --> 00:54:31,248
I wonder why that was done.
803
00:54:31,530 --> 00:54:33,342
It wasn't that way the
last time I was here.
804
00:54:33,821 --> 00:54:35,868
So you've had your nose
in there before, have you?
805
00:54:36,948 --> 00:54:39,174
Funny what nasty thoughts
people have sometimes, isn't it.
806
00:54:39,390 --> 00:54:41,597
Funny how they're right
sometimes, isn't it.
807
00:54:59,037 --> 00:55:01,443
I wonder why anyone would want
to brick up a place like that?
808
00:55:02,492 --> 00:55:05,171
Maybe Miss Fiske put her jewels
in there before she went away.
809
00:55:05,807 --> 00:55:08,881
You know .. she's not one to take
any chances leaving them about.
810
00:55:09,234 --> 00:55:10,530
Even with your aunt Ellen.
811
00:55:12,817 --> 00:55:15,523
If there are any sparkles in there,
I wouldn't mind having a peep at them.
812
00:55:15,748 --> 00:55:18,262
I'm sure you wouldn't.
- And neither would you, I dare say.
813
00:55:19,833 --> 00:55:24,037
In fact .. I'm sure you'd like the feel
of some around your swan-like neck.
814
00:55:26,610 --> 00:55:28,629
A pretty pink ear like
that calls for diamonds.
815
00:55:29,014 --> 00:55:31,473
A wandering hand like yours
calls for a slap in the face.
816
00:55:31,821 --> 00:55:33,675
It's wicked to slap a
man's face on a Sunday.
817
00:55:33,981 --> 00:55:35,745
The better the day, the better the deed.
818
00:55:36,179 --> 00:55:37,595
That leaves my conscience clear.
819
00:55:42,243 --> 00:55:43,680
I'll scream.
820
00:55:45,098 --> 00:55:46,140
What's that?
821
00:55:52,703 --> 00:55:55,550
What do you think I'm made of?
- Sugar and spice.
822
00:55:56,874 --> 00:55:58,131
And everything nice.
823
00:56:01,849 --> 00:56:03,164
Blimey, you're strong.
824
00:56:06,001 --> 00:56:07,586
It's a wig. Whose is it?
825
00:56:08,854 --> 00:56:10,150
It is Miss Fiske's.
826
00:56:10,705 --> 00:56:12,391
Oh, it's her best one.
827
00:56:13,295 --> 00:56:15,239
She's as bald as a coot.
- Ah.
828
00:56:15,455 --> 00:56:17,042
A wonder she didn't take it with her.
829
00:56:18,291 --> 00:56:19,267
Hello.
830
00:56:19,605 --> 00:56:22,290
Ah, she left a lot of
her fancy dresses too.
831
00:56:23,063 --> 00:56:24,930
Perhaps she'll buy some
new ones up in London?
832
00:56:25,392 --> 00:56:26,938
These are new. Most of them.
833
00:56:27,918 --> 00:56:30,059
You'd better put that back up.
- Alright.
834
00:56:30,285 --> 00:56:31,783
Get up on this chair.
835
00:56:39,798 --> 00:56:41,554
You know, it <i>is</i> odd
she only took one wig.
836
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:45,357
On a trip, anything might happen.
A fire or a gust of wind.
837
00:56:45,751 --> 00:56:46,409
Oh.
838
00:56:47,720 --> 00:56:49,195
Here's Emily coming up the path.
839
00:56:50,109 --> 00:56:51,329
You'd better be off.
840
00:56:57,184 --> 00:56:58,794
Hello my old cup of tea.
841
00:57:00,310 --> 00:57:02,634
What are you doing with those
bull-rushes? Looking for Moses?
842
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,371
You're making fun of me .. naughty boy.
843
00:57:28,649 --> 00:57:31,405
Hello Ducky .. I'm glad you're
back before the others.
844
00:57:31,964 --> 00:57:34,668
It isn't often I have the chance of
a tête-à-tête with the family's fairest.
845
00:57:34,884 --> 00:57:36,672
You're never serious
about anything, Albert.
846
00:57:36,888 --> 00:57:38,846
I was never more serious in my life.
847
00:57:40,212 --> 00:57:42,518
The storm did an enormous
amount of damage.
848
00:57:42,869 --> 00:57:45,494
Roads into Rochester and Gravesend
were completely flooded.
849
00:57:46,258 --> 00:57:48,836
The Postman told me.
- I hope they stay that way.
850
00:57:50,098 --> 00:57:51,558
Allow me, Empress.
851
00:57:52,362 --> 00:57:54,681
There's only one letter today.
It's for Miss Fiske.
852
00:57:55,047 --> 00:57:55,755
Is it?
853
00:58:01,577 --> 00:58:03,226
It's a cosy nest you got here.
854
00:58:03,605 --> 00:58:05,661
What's will happen to you
when Miss Fiske gets back?
855
00:58:05,896 --> 00:58:07,596
Will she let you stay on, do you think?
856
00:58:11,455 --> 00:58:12,701
She isn't coming back.
857
00:58:13,532 --> 00:58:14,548
Why not?
858
00:58:15,342 --> 00:58:16,575
Ellen's bought the house.
859
00:58:19,252 --> 00:58:19,924
Go on.
860
00:58:20,140 --> 00:58:21,241
Yes. It's quite true.
861
00:58:22,049 --> 00:58:23,150
It's a secret though.
862
00:58:23,366 --> 00:58:26,001
Ellen made us swear on the bible
that we wouldn't tell anyone.
863
00:58:26,218 --> 00:58:28,300
But you are one of the family.
So it's alright.
864
00:58:29,873 --> 00:58:31,661
Why should she want
to keep it a secret, eh?
865
00:58:31,877 --> 00:58:33,636
I don't know.
It was done in a great hurry.
866
00:58:33,873 --> 00:58:35,534
Louisa and I were sent off to Rochester.
867
00:58:35,750 --> 00:58:38,669
Then when we came back that night,
Miss Fiske was gone and it was all over.
868
00:58:40,902 --> 00:58:42,862
You won't tell Ellen I told
you, will you, Albert?
869
00:58:43,234 --> 00:58:43,975
No.
870
00:58:45,212 --> 00:58:47,000
We'll make that our
little secret, shall we?
871
00:58:47,335 --> 00:58:48,064
Alright.
872
00:58:50,086 --> 00:58:52,513
It will be rather fun.
Having a secret from Ellen.
873
00:58:53,143 --> 00:58:55,628
She thinks she's the clever one.
But she isn't.
874
00:58:57,109 --> 00:58:57,924
Not always.
875
00:58:59,816 --> 00:59:00,402
No.
876
00:59:01,225 --> 00:59:02,040
Not always.
877
00:59:17,517 --> 00:59:19,294
Albert.
- What?
878
00:59:25,153 --> 00:59:26,418
Good morning.
879
00:59:28,974 --> 00:59:30,034
May we come in?
880
00:59:30,250 --> 00:59:32,261
Who's that?
- A couple of nuns from The Priory.
881
00:59:33,048 --> 00:59:36,099
You talk to them, Albert.
I've got to tidy up the orchard.
882
00:59:47,032 --> 00:59:51,087
Oh .. I didn't know there was
a young man staying here.
883
00:59:51,632 --> 00:59:52,844
Is Miss Ellen about?
884
00:59:53,060 --> 00:59:55,956
Sorry. She's gone over to the church at
Cawley. I'm her nephew, can I help?
885
00:59:56,487 --> 01:00:00,357
We came to return this. She lent us
a little oil last night. We ran short.
886
01:00:00,792 --> 01:00:02,060
Thanks.
- Yes, and this.
887
01:00:02,634 --> 01:00:04,846
The rent for the little field.
Your aunt will understand.
888
01:00:05,106 --> 01:00:06,179
I'll give it to her.
889
01:00:06,395 --> 01:00:08,788
We are so looking forward
to Miss Fiske's return.
890
01:00:09,371 --> 01:00:10,864
She's a dear friend of ours.
891
01:00:11,239 --> 01:00:14,646
Oh .. have you .. heard from her lately?
892
01:00:15,031 --> 01:00:16,218
No, not a word.
893
01:00:16,752 --> 01:00:19,335
I think the Reverend Mother is
a trifle hurt she hasn't written.
894
01:00:19,678 --> 01:00:22,281
In fact, she didn't even tell
us she was going away.
895
01:00:22,777 --> 01:00:25,295
Not very chummy, was it.
- No, it wasn't.
896
01:00:26,837 --> 01:00:28,232
Good morning.
- Good morning.
897
01:01:05,242 --> 01:01:07,671
Now what are you up to?
- Fetch me a knife, Ducky.
898
01:01:15,499 --> 01:01:17,170
What's that?
- A letter for Miss Fiske.
899
01:01:17,511 --> 01:01:19,943
You're not going to open it?
- No. Wouldn't think of it.
900
01:01:24,242 --> 01:01:25,431
What's it say?
901
01:01:26,201 --> 01:01:28,502
'Dear Madam.
Regarding your instructions ..'
902
01:01:28,718 --> 01:01:31,591
'To forward the amount of the
enclosed cheque in 5-pound notes'.
903
01:01:32,239 --> 01:01:36,889
'Your signature appears to differ from
that with which we are acquainted'.
904
01:01:38,793 --> 01:01:41,444
'We should be obliged if you
could kindly confirm same ..'
905
01:01:41,845 --> 01:01:44,354
'By signing it afresh.
In your usual manner'.
906
01:01:48,582 --> 01:01:49,634
Fifty pounds.
907
01:01:50,633 --> 01:01:51,591
Notice the date.
908
01:01:52,218 --> 01:01:53,703
'October 14th'.
909
01:01:54,794 --> 01:01:57,258
That's three days ago.
She's been gone longer than that.
910
01:01:57,803 --> 01:01:59,484
Since the beginning of September.
911
01:02:00,292 --> 01:02:02,329
She probably made it
out from wherever she is.
912
01:02:02,949 --> 01:02:04,986
Yes, she could have. Hey, wait a minute.
913
01:02:06,442 --> 01:02:08,765
In that case, why did they
send the reply to her here?
914
01:02:10,183 --> 01:02:11,666
You see who it's made payable to?
915
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:14,680
Ellen Creed.
916
01:02:15,506 --> 01:02:17,785
What of it? I expect it's
the housekeeping money.
917
01:02:18,380 --> 01:02:21,488
Maybe. Where's the glue-pot?
- Over there.
918
01:02:21,704 --> 01:02:23,015
Get it for me.
919
01:02:28,096 --> 01:02:30,146
Dip your finger in it.
- I should say not.
920
01:02:30,516 --> 01:02:31,817
I've had no hand in this.
921
01:02:33,119 --> 01:02:33,963
Haven't you?
922
01:02:35,383 --> 01:02:37,379
You are a filthy pig.
- Go on. Seal it up.
923
01:02:38,971 --> 01:02:39,930
Go on.
924
01:02:44,402 --> 01:02:46,276
Don't forget.
You're in this as deep as me now.
925
01:02:46,550 --> 01:02:48,124
I wish you'd never come here.
926
01:02:48,888 --> 01:02:51,488
I don't know what comes over
me when you're around.
927
01:02:52,752 --> 01:02:54,483
You won't give me away
to Ellen, will you?
928
01:02:54,699 --> 01:02:56,230
I won't if you keep your mouth shut.
929
01:03:03,357 --> 01:03:06,241
Here come the performing seals.
Not a word, mind you.
930
01:03:17,604 --> 01:03:18,397
Albert.
931
01:03:18,622 --> 01:03:20,252
Hello, aunts .. had a nice pray?
932
01:03:20,492 --> 01:03:22,114
You should have been at church, Albert.
933
01:03:22,576 --> 01:03:24,609
The minister told us all about Hell.
934
01:03:25,016 --> 01:03:27,336
You'd have enjoyed the
bit about the lost souls ..
935
01:03:27,682 --> 01:03:29,251
Sizzling in the bottomless pit.
936
01:03:29,554 --> 01:03:31,970
Would I now? Sounds frightening.
937
01:03:32,540 --> 01:03:34,859
Ellen .. where is Hell?
938
01:03:37,451 --> 01:03:39,443
Hell is like the Kingdom of Heaven.
939
01:03:41,672 --> 01:03:42,552
It is within.
940
01:03:43,037 --> 01:03:43,995
That reminds me.
941
01:03:44,310 --> 01:03:45,926
One of your religious friends was here.
942
01:03:46,258 --> 01:03:49,076
She left you this.
It's the rent for some field or other.
943
01:03:50,580 --> 01:03:52,568
She didn't see you, did she?
- I couldn't avoid it.
944
01:03:52,784 --> 01:03:54,258
That was Sister Theresa.
945
01:03:55,171 --> 01:03:59,138
She's Miss Fiske's friend. She doesn't
like us any more than Miss Fiske did.
946
01:03:59,974 --> 01:04:01,311
Didn't Miss Fiske like you?
947
01:04:01,981 --> 01:04:03,098
She was horrid to us.
948
01:04:03,344 --> 01:04:05,103
Louisa, run upstairs
and change your dress.
949
01:04:05,417 --> 01:04:07,148
You can't sit around
in your best all day.
950
01:04:07,445 --> 01:04:08,575
No. I shan't, shall I.
951
01:04:09,221 --> 01:04:10,348
No. Of course not.
952
01:04:12,538 --> 01:04:13,819
Albert.
- Huh?
953
01:04:14,096 --> 01:04:16,776
I don't want you to mention Miss Fiske
again in front of my sisters.
954
01:04:17,336 --> 01:04:18,819
They quarrelled with her.
955
01:04:19,382 --> 01:04:21,392
And it upsets them very
much to talk about her.
956
01:04:22,012 --> 01:04:23,364
Sorry. Nobody told me.
957
01:04:24,555 --> 01:04:26,055
What did you quarrel about?
958
01:04:26,666 --> 01:04:28,328
I didn't say I quarrelled with her.
959
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,220
Would she by any chance be the friend
you lit those candles for last night?
960
01:04:37,276 --> 01:04:38,187
Yes.
961
01:04:39,145 --> 01:04:40,469
When did she die?
962
01:04:42,779 --> 01:04:43,699
Die?
963
01:04:44,779 --> 01:04:46,516
Who said anything about her being dead?
964
01:04:47,042 --> 01:04:50,858
I just assumed she was.
You don't light candles for the living.
965
01:04:51,493 --> 01:04:53,352
Do you?
- I don't know.
966
01:04:54,178 --> 01:04:55,831
I just thought they stood for prayer.
967
01:04:56,685 --> 01:04:58,451
I must find Emily.
- By the way.
968
01:04:58,779 --> 01:05:00,614
The postman gave her
a letter for Miss Fiske.
969
01:05:00,911 --> 01:05:02,450
From her bank, I believe.
970
01:05:03,202 --> 01:05:04,375
Give it to me.
971
01:05:14,895 --> 01:05:16,951
I'm managing all her
affairs while she's away.
972
01:05:29,109 --> 01:05:31,579
Anything important?
- Yes, rather.
973
01:05:32,625 --> 01:05:34,512
I must get an answer
in the post immediately.
974
01:05:39,075 --> 01:05:40,763
A stylish looking piano you've got here.
975
01:05:41,029 --> 01:05:43,016
Don't distract me, Albert.
I must concentrate.
976
01:05:43,301 --> 01:05:45,026
I'm sorry. Don't mind me, auntie.
977
01:05:59,907 --> 01:06:01,335
I say, you are up to date.
978
01:06:02,020 --> 01:06:04,648
I didn't expect to find a copy of
The Mikado way out here on the marshes.
979
01:06:10,467 --> 01:06:12,747
[ Whistling song: Tit-Willow ]
980
01:06:20,224 --> 01:06:21,491
Don't do that.
981
01:06:22,064 --> 01:06:24,252
I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to distract you.
982
01:06:25,378 --> 01:06:27,960
It's just I happen to dislike that
particular tune. That's all.
983
01:06:28,261 --> 01:06:29,932
It's a bit on the morbid side.
984
01:06:35,775 --> 01:06:37,740
Miss Ellen, how soon
will you want dinner?
985
01:06:38,044 --> 01:06:39,402
In a quarter of an hour, Lucy.
986
01:06:39,624 --> 01:06:41,383
I'll just post this
letter at the crossing.
987
01:06:41,801 --> 01:06:42,788
Let me go, Ellen.
988
01:06:43,019 --> 01:06:44,372
I can do with a sniff of air.
989
01:06:44,588 --> 01:06:46,710
No thank you.
I prefer to attend to this myself.
990
01:07:20,938 --> 01:07:22,723
What are you up to now?
991
01:07:23,124 --> 01:07:24,998
She just wrote a reply to
the letter we opened.
992
01:07:25,426 --> 01:07:27,560
I thought it would be interesting
to see what she says.
993
01:07:28,703 --> 01:07:29,518
'Dear sir'.
994
01:07:30,198 --> 01:07:30,956
'Cheque'.
995
01:07:31,301 --> 01:07:32,168
Something.
996
01:07:32,562 --> 01:07:33,406
'Incorrect'.
997
01:07:34,231 --> 01:07:35,018
Something.
998
01:07:35,529 --> 01:07:36,258
'Owing'.
999
01:07:36,987 --> 01:07:38,671
Something, something.
1000
01:07:39,444 --> 01:07:40,350
'Wrist'.
1001
01:07:41,875 --> 01:07:43,870
What does that word
look like to you? See.
1002
01:07:44,636 --> 01:07:47,233
'S .. p .. r ..'
1003
01:07:47,779 --> 01:07:48,718
S .. p .. r.
1004
01:07:49,226 --> 01:07:50,685
'Sprained'. That's it.
1005
01:07:51,092 --> 01:07:52,394
'Owing to a sprained wrist'.
1006
01:07:53,878 --> 01:07:54,922
Something. 'Yours'.
1007
01:07:55,374 --> 01:07:56,225
'Leonora'.
1008
01:07:57,357 --> 01:07:58,758
'Leonora Fiske'.
1009
01:08:01,625 --> 01:08:03,040
She signed it 'Leonora Fiske'.
1010
01:08:03,525 --> 01:08:04,684
What's it mean, Albert?
1011
01:08:05,493 --> 01:08:06,665
What do you think?
1012
01:08:07,266 --> 01:08:09,506
It looks as if she's pretending
to be Miss Fiske.
1013
01:08:10,308 --> 01:08:12,239
Getting money on the strength of it.
- Brilliant.
1014
01:08:12,455 --> 01:08:13,845
If that's true, she's a thief.
1015
01:08:14,342 --> 01:08:15,535
Like you.
- Shut up.
1016
01:08:18,319 --> 01:08:20,417
What will happen when
Miss Fiske comes back?
1017
01:08:23,624 --> 01:08:25,061
Suppose she isn't coming back?
1018
01:08:26,187 --> 01:08:29,149
Suppose she's died somewhere.
And Ellen is the only one who knows.
1019
01:08:29,485 --> 01:08:31,229
You can't die and only
one person know it.
1020
01:08:31,445 --> 01:08:32,744
Can't you? I'm not so sure.
1021
01:08:34,460 --> 01:08:35,600
One thing I do know.
1022
01:08:35,906 --> 01:08:38,896
She'd never risk it unless she knew
Miss Fiske was out of the way for good.
1023
01:08:39,955 --> 01:08:43,091
Alright .. assume she's dead.
Aunt Ellen is having the funds.
1024
01:08:43,645 --> 01:08:45,721
It might be years before
anybody would find out.
1025
01:08:48,011 --> 01:08:49,815
Why should she reap all the benefit?
1026
01:08:55,455 --> 01:08:57,100
There may be some pickings in it for us.
1027
01:08:57,481 --> 01:08:59,841
Would you like to see a bit of the
world? Have some fun with me?
1028
01:09:00,057 --> 01:09:01,907
You'd tempt Old Nick
himself, wouldn't you?
1029
01:09:02,123 --> 01:09:03,540
You've got to help me get proof.
1030
01:09:03,775 --> 01:09:05,763
I don't want to do anything
mean or underhanded.
1031
01:09:06,113 --> 01:09:09,069
Would I ask you to? Use your eyes
and keep your ears open. That's all.
1032
01:09:09,863 --> 01:09:10,821
What do you say?
1033
01:09:11,696 --> 01:09:12,720
I don't know.
1034
01:09:12,936 --> 01:09:14,752
Perhaps this will help
you make up your mind.
1035
01:09:20,189 --> 01:09:22,321
Well?
- I'll help you, Albert.
1036
01:09:23,541 --> 01:09:25,685
Here she comes. Look sharp now.
Back to the kitchen.
1037
01:10:47,655 --> 01:10:48,984
She's coming.
1038
01:10:49,341 --> 01:10:51,214
Blimey. You almost made
me frightened myself.
1039
01:10:51,698 --> 01:10:53,567
Hurry up, hurry up.
- Alright. Shut up.
1040
01:10:57,097 --> 01:10:59,119
Hey, go in the kitchen
and make some tea.
1041
01:11:00,769 --> 01:11:03,053
Take this with you. Go on, hurry.
1042
01:11:08,868 --> 01:11:10,408
Goodnight, Bates.
- Night, ma'am.
1043
01:11:10,665 --> 01:11:12,424
Don't forget.
Ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
1044
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:13,710
Very good, ma'am.
1045
01:11:24,420 --> 01:11:25,960
Did you have a successful trip?
1046
01:11:29,358 --> 01:11:30,324
Yes.
1047
01:11:31,452 --> 01:11:32,615
I have your ticket.
1048
01:11:33,462 --> 01:11:35,112
You leave tomorrow.
1049
01:11:36,730 --> 01:11:37,873
Do I?
1050
01:11:38,909 --> 01:11:41,037
Where are my sisters?
- I sent them off to bed.
1051
01:11:41,594 --> 01:11:44,567
They were getting a little out of hand.
- I dare say it wasn't their fault.
1052
01:11:45,180 --> 01:11:46,694
Lucy is making some hot tea.
1053
01:11:47,190 --> 01:11:48,628
We thought you might be cold.
1054
01:11:49,171 --> 01:11:51,500
I'll be down again .. as soon as
I've said goodnight to them.
1055
01:12:05,306 --> 01:12:06,436
Is everything alright?
1056
01:12:06,652 --> 01:12:09,253
No it's not. She's packing me off
tomorrow. We've got to move fast.
1057
01:12:10,013 --> 01:12:14,109
You haven't changed your mind, have you?
- I couldn't refuse you anything .. now.
1058
01:12:17,711 --> 01:12:20,732
We thought you'd never come,
Ellen .. I was frightened.
1059
01:12:21,412 --> 01:12:22,227
Frightened?
1060
01:12:22,443 --> 01:12:24,128
Yes, they were such funny noises.
1061
01:12:24,896 --> 01:12:26,049
It was only the rats.
1062
01:12:27,710 --> 01:12:29,343
What have you been doing all evening?
1063
01:12:29,794 --> 01:12:33,166
We played a game of cribbage.
Of course, Albert cheated.
1064
01:12:33,475 --> 01:12:35,420
But it was rather fun
watching him cheat.
1065
01:12:36,156 --> 01:12:38,001
He hasn't said anything
about Miss Fiske?
1066
01:12:38,432 --> 01:12:39,681
No.
- Miss Fiske?
1067
01:12:41,073 --> 01:12:41,974
Why should he?
1068
01:12:42,322 --> 01:12:44,819
And neither of you spoke to him
about my buying the house?
1069
01:12:45,173 --> 01:12:46,021
No, Ellen.
1070
01:12:46,441 --> 01:12:47,399
Do you remember?
1071
01:12:47,678 --> 01:12:49,855
You made us swear on
the bible we wouldn't.
1072
01:12:53,352 --> 01:12:55,327
I think you'd better go to
sleep now, both of you.
1073
01:12:55,778 --> 01:12:58,491
I'm going downstairs to have a
hot cup of tea before I go to bed.
1074
01:13:11,633 --> 01:13:14,151
Albert, do you think ..?
- Pour the tea, Lucy.
1075
01:13:21,955 --> 01:13:24,408
Thank you Lucy. You may go to bed now.
- Yes, Miss Ellen.
1076
01:13:24,946 --> 01:13:26,345
Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
1077
01:13:36,366 --> 01:13:37,639
Auntie, where is your cane?
1078
01:13:38,312 --> 01:13:40,981
You look like you'd like to take down
my breeches and give me a dozen.
1079
01:13:42,223 --> 01:13:45,038
There's a boat sailing for Canada
on Friday. You sail with it.
1080
01:13:46,295 --> 01:13:47,826
I'm not sure I want to go to Canada.
1081
01:13:48,849 --> 01:13:49,693
Yet a while.
1082
01:13:50,173 --> 01:13:51,779
You haven't much choice, have you?
1083
01:13:52,201 --> 01:13:54,201
I don't know. I'm getting
quite fond of this place.
1084
01:13:54,463 --> 01:13:57,278
The air suits me .. I'm very
happy here for the time being.
1085
01:13:57,793 --> 01:13:59,765
I'm not happy having you here.
- Why?
1086
01:14:01,027 --> 01:14:03,956
It isn't safe since Sister Theresa
knows you're staying here with us.
1087
01:14:04,613 --> 01:14:07,129
The wrong sort of talk would bring
the police around here in no time.
1088
01:14:07,692 --> 01:14:09,826
I don't propose to risk a
scandal on your account.
1089
01:14:10,979 --> 01:14:12,484
There's more to it than that.
1090
01:14:13,552 --> 01:14:14,914
Lucy is apt to talk.
1091
01:14:15,787 --> 01:14:17,383
I don't think we need worry about her.
1092
01:14:18,557 --> 01:14:20,578
No. You've made sure of that.
1093
01:14:21,269 --> 01:14:24,026
Whatever do you mean by that?
- You know what, you cheap little ..
1094
01:14:24,454 --> 01:14:26,419
Stop it Ellen.
You'll make me lose my temper.
1095
01:14:26,784 --> 01:14:27,717
Your temper?
1096
01:14:27,975 --> 01:14:30,803
You leave first thing in the morning.
That's the end of you and your temper.
1097
01:14:31,019 --> 01:14:32,487
I shouldn't try to bluff me.
1098
01:14:32,885 --> 01:14:36,020
I'm not bluffing you. I order you.
- If I don't choose to be ordered?
1099
01:14:36,755 --> 01:14:39,395
I can't throw you out physically.
But I can send for the police.
1100
01:14:39,611 --> 01:14:40,765
And have your scandal?
1101
01:14:41,425 --> 01:14:43,625
Really, you're being very
inconsistent now, auntie dear.
1102
01:14:47,747 --> 01:14:49,119
You won't send for the police.
1103
01:14:50,349 --> 01:14:51,841
Why are you so sure?
1104
01:14:52,573 --> 01:14:53,992
Because you've another reason.
1105
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:56,914
A more important reason for
not wanting the police here.
1106
01:14:57,546 --> 01:14:59,799
For wanting me out of this
house as quickly as possible.
1107
01:15:01,265 --> 01:15:02,936
As a matter of fact, you are right.
1108
01:15:03,339 --> 01:15:04,889
Now we get down to brass tacks.
1109
01:15:09,192 --> 01:15:11,134
Did it concern Miss Fiske by any chance?
1110
01:15:12,843 --> 01:15:14,271
It would and it does.
1111
01:15:15,303 --> 01:15:18,769
I met her in town today.
She's coming back.
1112
01:15:21,002 --> 01:15:24,068
She's coming back?
- And why shouldn't she?
1113
01:15:25,444 --> 01:15:27,138
I thought she'd gone for good.
1114
01:15:27,641 --> 01:15:29,345
How utterly absurd of you, Albert.
1115
01:15:29,950 --> 01:15:32,232
There has never been any
question of her not coming back.
1116
01:15:33,753 --> 01:15:35,532
Why didn't you say
so in the first place?
1117
01:15:35,748 --> 01:15:37,942
You played the fool so much
with Louisa and Emily.
1118
01:15:39,190 --> 01:15:40,693
I was afraid you'd blurt it out.
1119
01:15:42,481 --> 01:15:44,355
As it is, I'll have to
break it to them gently.
1120
01:15:44,571 --> 01:15:46,477
Because it means
they will have to go too.
1121
01:15:51,855 --> 01:15:53,989
My little country holiday has
obviously come to an end.
1122
01:15:54,843 --> 01:15:56,734
I don't know what the
blazes I'll do in Canada.
1123
01:15:56,950 --> 01:15:59,119
I suppose one can starve there
as well as anywhere else.
1124
01:15:59,677 --> 01:16:00,790
You'll get on.
1125
01:16:01,757 --> 01:16:03,762
I'll give you a little
something to start off with.
1126
01:16:04,659 --> 01:16:05,908
For your mother's sake.
1127
01:16:06,405 --> 01:16:08,376
I suppose I should extend
my most humble thanks.
1128
01:16:08,668 --> 01:16:10,540
No. That from you would be too much.
1129
01:16:11,034 --> 01:16:13,664
If that's all we have to say to each
other, I may as well get up to bed.
1130
01:16:32,163 --> 01:16:34,237
A good night's sleep wouldn't
do you any harm, either.
1131
01:16:35,093 --> 01:16:36,483
You look a bit played out.
1132
01:16:42,139 --> 01:16:43,698
I must lock up first.
1133
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,157
Will I be seeing you in the
morning before I leave?
1134
01:16:49,557 --> 01:16:50,486
Yes.
1135
01:16:59,735 --> 01:17:01,070
I forgot to tell you, auntie.
1136
01:17:02,138 --> 01:17:03,848
I had a funny dream last night.
1137
01:17:05,052 --> 01:17:05,796
Did you?
1138
01:17:08,636 --> 01:17:10,288
I dreamt Miss Fiske was dead.
1139
01:17:17,761 --> 01:17:20,112
Goodnight, auntie.
- Goodnight, Albert.
1140
01:18:52,767 --> 01:18:54,268
Miss Fiske ..
1141
01:19:06,554 --> 01:19:07,625
Albert.
1142
01:19:08,620 --> 01:19:09,497
Albert!
1143
01:19:48,544 --> 01:19:49,617
Good morning, Bates.
1144
01:19:49,833 --> 01:19:52,997
Miss Creed ordered me. It's about the
train, but she didn't say which one.
1145
01:19:53,823 --> 01:19:54,626
Bates.
1146
01:19:55,260 --> 01:19:56,975
Cancel it. Miss Creed's
not feeling well.
1147
01:19:57,382 --> 01:19:59,134
Nothing serious I hope, sir?
1148
01:19:59,716 --> 01:20:00,845
No. Nothing serious.
1149
01:20:01,576 --> 01:20:03,714
In that case, I'd better hop along.
1150
01:20:11,215 --> 01:20:13,479
She did look ill when I
took in her early tea.
1151
01:20:13,844 --> 01:20:15,160
I wish we hadn't done it.
1152
01:20:15,376 --> 01:20:17,754
Pull yourself together.
You'll ruin everything. Go on upstairs.
1153
01:20:18,116 --> 01:20:20,071
She might have died.
- Shut up.
1154
01:20:22,419 --> 01:20:24,304
Well she didn't. And we
proved what we wanted.
1155
01:20:24,605 --> 01:20:27,046
Miss Fiske is dead and she knows it.
- I wonder when she died.
1156
01:20:27,262 --> 01:20:30,193
One more go, and I'll tell you when
and how, she died. Now, go on upstairs.
1157
01:20:32,234 --> 01:20:33,778
What did Bates want, Albert?
1158
01:20:34,469 --> 01:20:37,339
He brought the news from the outside
world. It will tickle you to death.
1159
01:20:37,669 --> 01:20:39,500
Wigs and whiskers are
coming back in again.
1160
01:20:39,795 --> 01:20:41,748
I don't think this is a
time for joking, Albert.
1161
01:20:42,024 --> 01:20:43,268
With Ellen the way she is.
1162
01:20:43,484 --> 01:20:45,673
You take this thing too seriously,
my old brussels sprout.
1163
01:20:45,906 --> 01:20:48,296
She was walking in her sleep
and had a nightmare. That's all.
1164
01:20:48,857 --> 01:20:50,738
It wasn't a nightmare, Albert.
1165
01:20:52,979 --> 01:20:56,425
Oh .. what was it then?
- She says she saw a ghost.
1166
01:20:58,326 --> 01:21:00,241
In that case, lay another
place for breakfast.
1167
01:21:01,837 --> 01:21:04,083
Do you really think
it was a ghost, Emily?
1168
01:21:04,814 --> 01:21:08,147
If it were only a nightmare,
we wouldn't have heard it too.
1169
01:21:09,095 --> 01:21:12,379
Heard what?
- The music. Miss Fiske's music.
1170
01:21:13,216 --> 01:21:14,174
You know, Emily.
1171
01:21:14,512 --> 01:21:16,786
I'm sometimes afraid Miss Fiske
will get the better of Ellen.
1172
01:21:17,358 --> 01:21:20,210
I sometimes think she wants
to come back and turn us out.
1173
01:21:20,570 --> 01:21:23,299
I think Miss Fiske is here .. now.
1174
01:21:24,166 --> 01:21:27,506
Well .. what are you
two whispering about?
1175
01:21:28,354 --> 01:21:30,821
Hadn't you better go for your walk now?
- Yes, Ellen.
1176
01:21:31,124 --> 01:21:32,605
Anything you say, Ellen.
1177
01:21:46,684 --> 01:21:48,838
Do you think you're
strong enough to be up?
1178
01:21:49,303 --> 01:21:52,031
Yes, dear. I'm quite alright now.
- Hadn't you better have a doctor?
1179
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,336
No. A doctor couldn't do any good.
1180
01:22:01,118 --> 01:22:03,274
Why are you two standing
there like a couple of owls?
1181
01:22:04,315 --> 01:22:05,674
Emily has been frightening me.
1182
01:22:05,890 --> 01:22:07,724
You've been imagining
things, both of you.
1183
01:22:07,940 --> 01:22:09,719
Now, run along for your walk.
1184
01:22:10,194 --> 01:22:12,573
Whatever you say, Ellen. You know best.
1185
01:22:47,533 --> 01:22:48,748
Good morning, aunt Ellen.
1186
01:22:52,429 --> 01:22:53,848
We didn't expect you down today.
1187
01:22:55,144 --> 01:22:56,748
Why aren't you ready yet?
1188
01:22:57,416 --> 01:22:58,898
Bates will be here at any moment.
1189
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:01,876
Bates has been here and
gone .. I sent him away.
1190
01:23:02,599 --> 01:23:04,832
What do you mean by interfering
with my arrangements?
1191
01:23:05,087 --> 01:23:07,308
I didn't like to go and leave
you not feeling well.
1192
01:23:07,829 --> 01:23:09,585
I'm quite recovered now, thank you.
1193
01:23:10,535 --> 01:23:12,151
It was a queer turn you had last night.
1194
01:23:13,012 --> 01:23:13,913
What happened?
1195
01:23:16,155 --> 01:23:17,012
Nothing.
1196
01:23:17,529 --> 01:23:19,792
You know, you should really do
something about your nerves.
1197
01:23:20,064 --> 01:23:22,710
This isn't the first time you've walked
in your sleep, according to Emily.
1198
01:23:23,866 --> 01:23:24,996
What's Emily told you?
1199
01:23:25,212 --> 01:23:26,370
Just the usual chatter.
1200
01:23:27,566 --> 01:23:30,648
They do say that people who walk in
their sleep have a guilty conscience.
1201
01:23:32,807 --> 01:23:34,722
What's behind that remark, Albert?
1202
01:23:35,877 --> 01:23:36,788
Nothing.
1203
01:23:56,997 --> 01:23:58,016
You know.
1204
01:23:58,692 --> 01:23:59,725
Uhuh.
1205
01:24:07,734 --> 01:24:09,783
Then it was you last night?
- Yes.
1206
01:24:10,635 --> 01:24:12,786
Me and Lucy.
- She knows too?
1207
01:24:13,435 --> 01:24:16,579
Not what I know. That's something you
and I are going to keep to ourselves.
1208
01:24:17,454 --> 01:24:19,302
Provided of course, you treat me right.
1209
01:24:21,351 --> 01:24:22,852
What are you going to do?
1210
01:24:24,955 --> 01:24:26,342
As I said, I'm very happy here.
1211
01:24:26,974 --> 01:24:29,880
I think with your financial help I'll
be able to adjust things at the bank.
1212
01:24:30,486 --> 01:24:33,462
And we can all settle down in peace.
A contented little family.
1213
01:24:38,699 --> 01:24:40,639
You mean, you propose
to go on living here?
1214
01:24:41,042 --> 01:24:42,511
With me?
- Why not?
1215
01:24:43,380 --> 01:24:45,003
You'd never be quite sure, would you?
1216
01:24:45,991 --> 01:24:47,704
You might not enjoy your meals.
1217
01:24:51,328 --> 01:24:53,741
You wouldn't dare .. a second time.
1218
01:24:54,750 --> 01:24:57,031
It takes a lot of courage to
kill for the first time, Albert.
1219
01:24:57,830 --> 01:25:00,317
Once you've sold your soul to
the Devil it becomes easier.
1220
01:25:01,558 --> 01:25:02,675
Much easier.
1221
01:25:03,887 --> 01:25:07,713
Alright .. give me £500 and I'll clear
out for good. And keep my mouth shut.
1222
01:25:07,933 --> 01:25:10,215
I'm not afraid of you, Albert.
And your shabby little tricks.
1223
01:25:10,666 --> 01:25:13,323
In the middle of the night, you may
fancy yourself cutting quite a figure.
1224
01:25:13,980 --> 01:25:15,595
It's broad daylight now.
1225
01:25:16,055 --> 01:25:17,426
[ Door knocks ]
1226
01:25:22,761 --> 01:25:23,944
It's those nuns.
1227
01:25:24,482 --> 01:25:27,362
Get that out of sight.
And yourself with it.
1228
01:25:31,659 --> 01:25:33,002
[ Door knocks ]
1229
01:25:38,532 --> 01:25:41,311
Good day, Sisters.
- I must talk to you, right away.
1230
01:25:41,857 --> 01:25:43,121
Are you alone?
- Yes.
1231
01:25:43,889 --> 01:25:44,905
What's the matter?
1232
01:25:45,241 --> 01:25:48,898
It's really none of my business
and I shouldn't have come but ..
1233
01:25:49,781 --> 01:25:52,419
The police. They've been to the Priory.
- What about?
1234
01:25:52,973 --> 01:25:54,653
They're searching for a young man.
1235
01:25:55,095 --> 01:25:57,671
Who stole money from a
bank over Gravesend way.
1236
01:25:58,212 --> 01:26:01,295
And from the description,
I suspect it was your nephew.
1237
01:26:01,945 --> 01:26:05,639
I thought if he were told, he might
have a chance to do the right thing.
1238
01:26:06,213 --> 01:26:07,596
And give himself up.
1239
01:26:08,675 --> 01:26:10,261
It is your nephew?
- Yes.
1240
01:26:10,825 --> 01:26:14,130
But they mustn't search here.
- They've gone to the Coyne farm first.
1241
01:26:14,553 --> 01:26:16,139
I heard one of them say so.
1242
01:26:17,097 --> 01:26:20,813
Oh Miss Ellen. Have I done
wrong in coming to warn you?
1243
01:26:22,345 --> 01:26:23,773
I don't know, Sister.
1244
01:26:24,730 --> 01:26:26,719
I had a brother rather like that.
1245
01:26:27,632 --> 01:26:28,938
He went wrong too.
1246
01:26:30,148 --> 01:26:33,618
People are so easily lost, aren't they?
1247
01:26:34,524 --> 01:26:35,575
Yes they are.
1248
01:26:36,083 --> 01:26:38,511
Poor girl. You have so many burdens.
1249
01:26:39,161 --> 01:26:40,320
If you refer to Albert.
1250
01:26:40,901 --> 01:26:42,388
He means absolutely nothing to me.
1251
01:26:43,143 --> 01:26:44,543
No-one does, for that matter.
1252
01:26:45,350 --> 01:26:46,843
Except Emily and Louisa.
1253
01:26:48,365 --> 01:26:53,486
If, any time, we can do anything to make
things easier for you or your sisters ..
1254
01:26:54,242 --> 01:26:56,078
Don't hesitate to turn to us.
1255
01:26:56,401 --> 01:26:58,181
That's very kind of you, Sister Theresa.
1256
01:26:58,843 --> 01:27:00,509
But you know, we're not of your faith.
1257
01:27:01,152 --> 01:27:04,017
In my Father's house are many mansions.
1258
01:27:10,324 --> 01:27:11,797
Blimey, I thought they'd never go.
1259
01:27:12,013 --> 01:27:13,715
Thanks for putting in
a good word for me.
1260
01:27:15,247 --> 01:27:16,837
The Coyne farm, is it?
1261
01:27:17,115 --> 01:27:19,332
That will give me a chance to
get behind them to the river.
1262
01:27:19,548 --> 01:27:21,951
Hurry. There's no time to lose.
- Yes, I'll get my clothes.
1263
01:27:36,482 --> 01:27:37,496
Lucy.
1264
01:27:38,970 --> 01:27:40,574
Why are you staring at me like that?
1265
01:27:47,259 --> 01:27:48,389
You've been listening.
1266
01:27:52,279 --> 01:27:53,011
Lucy.
1267
01:27:53,847 --> 01:27:55,077
Lucy, come back.
1268
01:27:56,673 --> 01:27:57,922
Lucy, come back.
1269
01:28:00,607 --> 01:28:01,729
What's up?
1270
01:28:04,948 --> 01:28:05,763
What is it?
1271
01:28:06,671 --> 01:28:07,700
Lucy's run off.
1272
01:28:08,543 --> 01:28:09,842
She was listening.
1273
01:28:11,899 --> 01:28:13,091
Turn me in, would she?
1274
01:28:13,589 --> 01:28:15,946
I've got to move fast.
Where's that money and boat ticket?
1275
01:28:21,783 --> 01:28:23,304
You mean, she heard all about that?
1276
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:28,225
Yes.
1277
01:28:29,117 --> 01:28:31,860
Hey .. you'd better
make a dash for it too.
1278
01:28:46,271 --> 01:28:47,740
Don't stand there mooning about.
1279
01:28:48,092 --> 01:28:49,909
Put your things on and
let's get out of here.
1280
01:28:52,816 --> 01:28:53,999
I'm not going.
1281
01:28:56,844 --> 01:28:58,130
Are you out of your mind?
1282
01:29:01,266 --> 01:29:03,883
You know what they'll do to you?
- You'd better hurry, Albert.
1283
01:29:04,966 --> 01:29:06,581
Well, if that don't beat the cards.
1284
01:29:08,780 --> 01:29:09,710
Well then ..
1285
01:29:11,785 --> 01:29:14,516
So long Ellen .. no hard feelings.
1286
01:29:49,217 --> 01:29:50,486
Ellen, it was so funny.
1287
01:29:50,849 --> 01:29:51,893
We just saw Albert.
1288
01:29:52,306 --> 01:29:53,808
He was playing 'tag' with some men.
1289
01:29:54,130 --> 01:29:56,069
He didn't win. They caught him.
1290
01:29:56,413 --> 01:29:57,556
He got quite annoyed.
1291
01:30:00,436 --> 01:30:02,922
Ellen, look.
We found a lot of jackdaw feathers.
1292
01:30:03,297 --> 01:30:05,846
We're going to tie them into
bundles and make little dusters.
1293
01:30:07,021 --> 01:30:08,492
Where are you going?
1294
01:30:10,172 --> 01:30:11,816
I'm going to Coyne farm.
1295
01:30:12,298 --> 01:30:14,852
There are some gentlemen there from
Gravesend and I want to see them.
1296
01:30:15,068 --> 01:30:16,974
You won't bring them
back here, will you Ellen.
1297
01:30:17,228 --> 01:30:19,134
It's so nice and peaceful by ourselves.
1298
01:30:20,007 --> 01:30:22,812
No, dear. I'll try not to
bring them back here.
1299
01:30:31,833 --> 01:30:35,636
You have been happy here, haven't you?
- We are happy here, aren't we Emily?
1300
01:30:35,852 --> 01:30:38,249
Yes .. it's much better than London.
1301
01:30:38,547 --> 01:30:40,897
It's so good of you to have
bought this house for us.
1302
01:30:41,242 --> 01:30:43,035
You have been clever, Ellen.
1303
01:31:06,500 --> 01:31:07,632
How long will you be?
1304
01:31:08,778 --> 01:31:10,031
I don't know, dear.
1305
01:31:10,562 --> 01:31:12,115
Maybe quite a time.
1306
01:31:13,116 --> 01:31:15,317
I think I shall go down
to The Priory tomorrow.
1307
01:31:15,914 --> 01:31:18,728
I should like to see the things the
Reverend Mother collected on the marsh.
1308
01:31:18,965 --> 01:31:20,045
I'll go with you.
1309
01:31:26,793 --> 01:31:29,371
Goodbye, Ellen .. don't worry about us.
1310
01:31:29,816 --> 01:31:31,460
We can look after ourselves.
1311
01:32:12,774 --> 01:32:13,678

Ellen Creed, a proud spinster fallen on hard times, has spent the past two years as housekeeper and companion to her old friend Leonora Fiske, a wealthy retiree who in her youth had been a chorus girl "of easy virtue". Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.
One day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.
Ellen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.
Ellen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.
Some nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.
Albert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a "sprained wrist." Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.
Albert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men. Ellen smiles, dons her coat and hat, tells the sisters she's going to see some men, kisses them goodbye and departs into the fog.

1
00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:15,105
Ellen.
2
00:02:16,275 --> 00:02:18,207
Yes, Miss Fiske.
- Is there any mail for me?
3
00:02:18,783 --> 00:02:20,449
No, just this one letter.
4
00:02:22,257 --> 00:02:24,580
No sign of Bates yet?
- Not yet.
5
00:02:25,271 --> 00:02:27,122
Oh dear, I do hope you
won't miss your train.
6
00:02:28,288 --> 00:02:29,130
I mustn't.
7
00:02:32,003 --> 00:02:34,632
Oh Lucy, hurry with that bag.
- Just coming, Miss.
8
00:02:39,861 --> 00:02:40,533
Ellen.
9
00:02:40,937 --> 00:02:42,986
That business I want you
to see about in London.
10
00:02:43,703 --> 00:02:45,281
This is for Mr Scott at the bank.
11
00:02:45,872 --> 00:02:47,797
It's about those Brazilian
bonds of mine.
12
00:02:48,116 --> 00:02:50,463
The way the market is this week,
I think they ought to be ..
13
00:02:51,108 --> 00:02:53,011
Get outside.
Keep your eyes open for Bates.
14
00:02:53,367 --> 00:02:54,154
Yes, Miss.
15
00:02:57,364 --> 00:02:59,365
And this address is
just off Berkeley Square.
16
00:02:59,637 --> 00:03:02,745
Go to the servant's entrance and
ask for Mr Blake. He's the butler.
17
00:03:02,990 --> 00:03:06,248
Say you've come from me with
a message for Lord Cardington.
18
00:03:06,501 --> 00:03:08,999
And will he give it to his
Lordship .. privately.
19
00:03:10,145 --> 00:03:11,726
Ellen, you aren't paying attention.
20
00:03:12,861 --> 00:03:14,130
But I am, Miss Fiske.
21
00:03:15,291 --> 00:03:16,862
What would be the best time to call?
22
00:03:18,183 --> 00:03:20,515
Harry always used to dine around eight.
23
00:03:21,648 --> 00:03:23,869
You call about half past seven.
- Yes, very well.
24
00:03:24,511 --> 00:03:25,441
You seem upset.
25
00:03:26,165 --> 00:03:27,082
Bad news?
26
00:03:28,607 --> 00:03:30,395
I don't want to bother
you with my troubles.
27
00:03:31,555 --> 00:03:33,845
It isn't a question of bothering
me with your troubles.
28
00:03:34,385 --> 00:03:36,059
You've become almost like my daughter.
29
00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:40,033
The letter is from my sisters,
Emily and Louisa.
30
00:03:40,723 --> 00:03:42,666
They're very unhappy back
in London without me.
31
00:03:43,371 --> 00:03:46,159
After all, I only saw them once since
I came to work for you, Miss Fiske.
32
00:03:46,627 --> 00:03:50,075
You'll see them today, won't you?
And everything will be alright, surely.
33
00:03:50,516 --> 00:03:51,365
Miss Fiske.
34
00:03:52,270 --> 00:03:53,239
Bates is coming.
35
00:03:53,677 --> 00:03:54,941
Tell him to hurry himself.
36
00:03:56,902 --> 00:04:00,083
My kind regards to your sisters, Ellen.
- Thank you, Miss Fiske.
37
00:04:05,516 --> 00:04:07,945
I've written them so much about you.
38
00:04:08,818 --> 00:04:10,041
How kind you've been.
39
00:04:10,952 --> 00:04:13,704
Stuff and nonsense.
I'm fond of you. You shouldn't ..
40
00:04:14,411 --> 00:04:16,314
Oh, a lovely juicy one.
41
00:04:18,629 --> 00:04:21,722
Perhaps you'll .. you might allow
them down for a little visit one day?
42
00:04:22,338 --> 00:04:24,174
Oh dear, look what the damp has done.
43
00:04:24,744 --> 00:04:27,291
Certainly, yes.
By all means. At any time.
44
00:04:27,661 --> 00:04:30,625
You know Lucy polished this
table all yesterday afternoon.
45
00:04:31,859 --> 00:04:34,142
Miss Fiske.
- Yes?
46
00:04:34,903 --> 00:04:36,139
It occurred to me that ..
47
00:04:36,694 --> 00:04:40,310
Since they've been so wretched lately,
and you may allow them to visit one day.
48
00:04:40,526 --> 00:04:42,677
Oh that? Yes, indeed. You tell them.
49
00:04:43,191 --> 00:04:45,776
Perhaps in the spring when
it's warm and sunny.
50
00:04:58,452 --> 00:05:01,788
Well .. what I was going to ask was ..
51
00:05:03,656 --> 00:05:06,019
Might I bring them back
with me this time? Now?
52
00:05:06,313 --> 00:05:08,044
Well now, Ellen.
- They won't be a bother.
53
00:05:08,260 --> 00:05:11,100
I promise Miss Fiske .. and it
will mean so much to them.
54
00:05:13,860 --> 00:05:17,056
Very well my dear. You bring with
you by all means. For a day or two.
55
00:05:17,531 --> 00:05:18,974
Thank you, Miss Fiske.
56
00:05:19,913 --> 00:05:22,776
I can't tell you how grateful I am.
- Well don't try, my dear.
57
00:05:23,612 --> 00:05:26,540
He's here, Miss.
- About time. The good-for-nothing.
58
00:05:29,731 --> 00:05:31,919
Ellen, have you got everything?
- Yes, Miss Fiske.
59
00:05:36,257 --> 00:05:37,214
Morning, ma'am.
60
00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:40,040
Bates, you might have been more prompt.
What on earth made you so late?
61
00:05:40,256 --> 00:05:44,233
Her. You can't gallop over the roads
with a lady in her delicate condition.
62
00:05:45,131 --> 00:05:46,985
She's going to throw a calf, she be.
63
00:05:47,329 --> 00:05:49,142
I'm taking her to the vets, I am.
64
00:05:49,580 --> 00:05:53,795
Kindly let her not throw any calves
until you get Miss Ellen to the station.
65
00:05:55,009 --> 00:05:58,324
Calves don't come by timetable, lady.
- Well trains do.
66
00:06:01,093 --> 00:06:02,789
Yes, ma'am.
- Goodbye, Miss Fiske.
67
00:06:03,093 --> 00:06:05,919
Goodbye, Miss Ellen.
- Goodbye, Lucy.
68
00:06:08,225 --> 00:06:10,399
Don't forget the allowance
from you-know-who.
69
00:06:10,690 --> 00:06:11,943
No, I shan't.
70
00:06:12,751 --> 00:06:13,558
Goodbye.
71
00:06:14,089 --> 00:06:15,295
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss.
72
00:06:16,549 --> 00:06:18,440
Alright now, there is a
day's work to be done.
73
00:06:43,285 --> 00:06:46,731
La, la, la .. la, la, la.
74
00:06:47,792 --> 00:06:51,445
This is nice. It's very, very nice.
- What's that you have there, Miss?
75
00:06:52,224 --> 00:06:55,022
It's called the New Comic Opera.
It's all the rage in London.
76
00:06:55,382 --> 00:06:56,355
The Mi-Ka-Do.
77
00:06:57,272 --> 00:06:58,355
Mikado.
78
00:06:59,483 --> 00:07:02,512
I used to tour the provinces with
the gentleman who sent it to me.
79
00:07:02,932 --> 00:07:05,701
Look, he signed it for me:
'Rutland Barington'.
80
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,844
'For my adored Leonora
with fond memories of ..'
81
00:07:12,167 --> 00:07:14,032
Never mind about that.
Go and do the dishes.
82
00:07:14,248 --> 00:07:15,034
Yes, Miss.
83
00:07:18,969 --> 00:07:23,159
<i>On a tree by a willow, a little tom-tit</i>.
84
00:07:23,685 --> 00:07:27,337
<i>Sang: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
85
00:07:27,860 --> 00:07:32,012
<i>And I said to him: dicky-bird,
why do you sit?</i>
86
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:36,024
<i>Singing: willow, tit-willow, tit-willow</i>.
87
00:07:40,329 --> 00:07:41,550
Go on. Don't stop.
88
00:07:41,803 --> 00:07:45,343
Who are you? What are you doing here?
- Listening .. very nice too.
89
00:07:46,281 --> 00:07:48,810
What do you want?
- Ask me in and I'll tell you.
90
00:07:52,312 --> 00:07:55,617
Anyway young man, you may
come in .. but mind your manners.
91
00:07:56,854 --> 00:07:57,794
Alright, Miss.
92
00:08:06,770 --> 00:08:09,470
Isn't this where Miss Ellen Creed lives?
- Yes, she lives here.
93
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:12,146
What do you wish to see her about?
- It's a personal matter.
94
00:08:13,315 --> 00:08:15,156
She's my aunt. I'm Albert Feather.
95
00:08:15,372 --> 00:08:17,189
Your aunt?
- Right.
96
00:08:17,842 --> 00:08:20,039
Her mother was my stepfather's
uncle's second wife.
97
00:08:22,067 --> 00:08:24,058
And where do you come from?
- Gravesend.
98
00:08:24,649 --> 00:08:26,422
I .. I work in a bank there.
99
00:08:26,875 --> 00:08:28,891
It's a very long walk.
Hadn't you better sit down?
100
00:08:29,598 --> 00:08:30,640
Thank you.
101
00:08:33,063 --> 00:08:34,628
I'm afraid it's all been for nothing.
102
00:08:34,844 --> 00:08:37,420
Your aunt Ellen has gone to
London on some business for me.
103
00:08:38,218 --> 00:08:39,462
How long will she be away?
104
00:08:39,790 --> 00:08:41,215
A few days.
- A few?
105
00:08:43,071 --> 00:08:44,665
Blimey. That will be too late.
106
00:08:45,843 --> 00:08:47,270
Is there anything I can do?
107
00:08:47,764 --> 00:08:51,327
I'm Miss Fiske. Your aunt has been
working here as a housekeeper/companion.
108
00:08:52,049 --> 00:08:54,325
I didn't know.
I haven't seen her for five years.
109
00:08:56,066 --> 00:08:57,102
Can I help?
110
00:08:59,294 --> 00:09:00,176
I wonder.
111
00:09:00,570 --> 00:09:01,642
What's the trouble?
112
00:09:02,394 --> 00:09:03,435
Or is it trouble?
113
00:09:04,397 --> 00:09:07,440
It's trouble right enough.
I hardly like to tell you.
114
00:09:08,163 --> 00:09:09,437
Oh, I see.
115
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:11,115
What's the amount?
116
00:09:12,388 --> 00:09:14,291
Twelve pounds.
- How much?
117
00:09:14,952 --> 00:09:17,446
Twelve pounds.
- My goodness. That's a lot of money.
118
00:09:17,662 --> 00:09:19,564
I know. What's worse,
I must have it by tonight.
119
00:09:19,937 --> 00:09:21,177
I'm short at the bank.
120
00:09:21,937 --> 00:09:24,425
It means jail if I can't put it back
before the cashier checks up.
121
00:09:25,063 --> 00:09:27,092
Gambling?
- No. A girl.
122
00:09:28,525 --> 00:09:29,814
Are you engaged to her?
123
00:09:30,198 --> 00:09:31,426
No. She's an actress.
124
00:09:32,294 --> 00:09:34,143
She was in a travelling
company in Gravesend.
125
00:09:34,463 --> 00:09:36,933
What? At the Old Grand?
126
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:39,551
You know it?
- I played there.
127
00:09:40,084 --> 00:09:41,113
Years ago.
128
00:09:41,968 --> 00:09:43,041
You were an actress?
129
00:09:43,648 --> 00:09:45,054
Front row of the chorus.
130
00:09:45,889 --> 00:09:47,868
Fourth from the right.
131
00:09:48,396 --> 00:09:49,710
She was in the chorus too.
132
00:09:50,179 --> 00:09:51,820
I expect you took her out to supper.
133
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:54,542
Then she persuaded you to
go round the shops with her.
134
00:09:55,486 --> 00:09:56,610
How did you know?
135
00:09:58,034 --> 00:09:59,272
'Imagination', my boy.
136
00:10:01,410 --> 00:10:03,427
Anyway, she's over the hills
now to some other town.
137
00:10:03,731 --> 00:10:05,583
And with some other fool.
The little cheat.
138
00:10:10,573 --> 00:10:13,436
Don't worry any more about it.
I'll give you the twelve pounds.
139
00:10:14,686 --> 00:10:15,719
You will?
140
00:10:16,204 --> 00:10:19,080
Perhaps I owe it to you .. in a sense.
141
00:10:20,452 --> 00:10:21,783
Or to some other fool.
142
00:10:22,564 --> 00:10:23,754
You're a life-saver.
143
00:10:24,208 --> 00:10:26,940
Now you just wait here. I'll just
run upstairs and get my keys.
144
00:10:31,814 --> 00:10:33,378
A pity there aren't more like you.
145
00:10:33,970 --> 00:10:35,850
That my, lad, is a matter of opinion.
146
00:10:38,268 --> 00:10:40,807
Do you mind if I tickle on your ivories?
- No, do.
147
00:10:41,403 --> 00:10:42,190
Thank you.
148
00:10:46,990 --> 00:10:50,944
<i>It's the same the whole world over</i>.
149
00:10:52,269 --> 00:10:53,102
<i>It's</i> ..
150
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,183
<i>It's the poor what gets the blame</i>.
151
00:11:04,394 --> 00:11:08,374
<i>While the rich has all the pleasures</i>.
152
00:11:09,117 --> 00:11:12,780
<i>Now, ain't that the blinking shame</i>.
153
00:11:19,442 --> 00:11:20,183
Hello.
154
00:11:20,703 --> 00:11:21,996
You did scare me.
155
00:11:22,780 --> 00:11:24,167
I thought I was hearing things.
156
00:11:24,565 --> 00:11:25,460
You were.
157
00:11:25,819 --> 00:11:26,681
But I mean.
158
00:11:27,344 --> 00:11:28,245
A man's voice.
159
00:11:29,023 --> 00:11:30,360
So funny here.
160
00:11:32,142 --> 00:11:34,993
Doesn't the tide wash up
many male fish, my angel?
161
00:11:35,476 --> 00:11:38,023
A man is as scarce as
hansom cabs in these parts.
162
00:11:38,377 --> 00:11:40,049
That is, all but the old ones.
163
00:11:40,330 --> 00:11:43,699
The young ones go off to London or
some foreign parts as soon as they can.
164
00:11:44,405 --> 00:11:45,990
Are you going off to foreign parts?
165
00:11:46,537 --> 00:11:48,929
It depends.
- Depends on what?
166
00:11:49,541 --> 00:11:51,342
If anyone ever asks me.
167
00:11:52,252 --> 00:11:54,778
I shouldn't think with eyes like them
there would be any difficulty.
168
00:11:55,570 --> 00:11:56,438
Go on.
169
00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:59,288
What's your name?
- Lucy.
170
00:11:59,889 --> 00:12:02,390
What's yours?
- Albert. I'm Miss Creel's nephew.
171
00:12:02,791 --> 00:12:05,195
Funny .. I never heard about you.
172
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,223
That must be remedied.
173
00:12:09,483 --> 00:12:12,253
How about making the most of a male
fish now one has been washed up, eh?
174
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,043
What about a smacker?
- No, you mustn't.
175
00:12:15,952 --> 00:12:17,175
I don't know you.
176
00:12:17,650 --> 00:12:19,993
You needn't know people to kiss them.
- I do.
177
00:12:21,065 --> 00:12:22,481
Alright my girl. It's your loss.
178
00:12:23,722 --> 00:12:25,495
You think a lot of yourself, don't you?
179
00:12:36,494 --> 00:12:39,581
Has Lucy been entertaining you, Albert?
- Eh?
180
00:12:40,669 --> 00:12:42,777
She came in. We had a word or two.
181
00:12:43,910 --> 00:12:46,728
Nice looker, isn't she?
- I didn't notice.
182
00:12:47,252 --> 00:12:50,496
Come now, Albert.
Don't lose your sense of humour.
183
00:12:50,712 --> 00:12:53,147
I hope you're not one of those who
won't benefit from experience.
184
00:12:53,446 --> 00:12:57,232
Otherwise my twelve pounds
will be rather wasted, won't it.
185
00:12:58,006 --> 00:12:59,937
Don't you worry Miss Fiske.
I've had my lesson.
186
00:13:00,307 --> 00:13:01,631
I hope so.
187
00:13:05,189 --> 00:13:07,912
Now .. this is where we
keep our little hoard.
188
00:13:09,396 --> 00:13:11,055
It's an old bake-oven really.
189
00:13:12,795 --> 00:13:14,007
A proper tomb, isn't it?
190
00:13:15,288 --> 00:13:16,161
What's that?
191
00:13:16,603 --> 00:13:18,678
This is what they used to
pull the loaves out with.
192
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:24,941
Of course, we don't use it as a
bake-oven. Hasn't been used in years.
193
00:13:30,894 --> 00:13:31,880
Now then.
194
00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:34,726
Twelve pounds, I think you said.
195
00:13:35,604 --> 00:13:37,505
You couldn't make if fifteen?
- No, I couldn't.
196
00:13:37,721 --> 00:13:38,593
You couldn't?
197
00:13:40,918 --> 00:13:42,648
Do I give you an I.O.U.?
198
00:13:43,001 --> 00:13:44,040
No thank you.
199
00:13:44,453 --> 00:13:45,721
This isn't a loan.
200
00:13:46,087 --> 00:13:49,548
I shouldn't like you to incur the
remorse of not paying it back.
201
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:51,267
You are a daisy.
202
00:13:53,929 --> 00:13:55,680
Very prettily done, Albert.
203
00:14:00,308 --> 00:14:02,327
Now, let's forget all about it.
204
00:14:04,460 --> 00:14:06,870
If you came next week, you'd have
found three of your aunts here.
205
00:14:07,162 --> 00:14:09,049
Ellen is bringing her
sisters back from London.
206
00:14:09,406 --> 00:14:11,513
What, the potty ones?
- Potty?
207
00:14:11,729 --> 00:14:13,188
Queer as mice in a cage.
208
00:14:14,466 --> 00:14:16,775
They're quite harmless.
Especially when aunt Ellen's around.
209
00:14:17,257 --> 00:14:20,141
For comfort, they're coming
to stay here for a few days.
210
00:14:20,646 --> 00:14:23,031
They seem to mean quite a
great deal to your aunt Ellen.
211
00:14:23,247 --> 00:14:24,573
Oh, they would.
212
00:14:25,219 --> 00:14:27,164
She's looked after them
since she was a kid.
213
00:14:27,426 --> 00:14:30,676
She's watched over them like they were
a couple of perishing babes-in-arms.
214
00:14:31,397 --> 00:14:34,292
I think that's very commendable of her.
- Perhaps, but ..
215
00:14:34,796 --> 00:14:36,355
Think of all the fun she's missing.
216
00:14:37,398 --> 00:14:40,282
What, for example?
- You know.
217
00:14:41,511 --> 00:14:42,582
I see.
218
00:14:43,201 --> 00:14:46,094
I have to be toddling along.
I'll pay you back as soon as I can.
219
00:14:51,506 --> 00:14:54,128
I'd appreciate if you don't mention
our little transaction to aunt Ellen.
220
00:14:54,344 --> 00:14:55,709
Very well. If you like.
221
00:14:56,156 --> 00:14:57,446
How about .. whatsername?
222
00:14:57,987 --> 00:15:00,717
Lucy? Oh she won't say anything.
I'll take care of that.
223
00:15:01,147 --> 00:15:01,848
Thanks.
224
00:15:04,128 --> 00:15:05,104
So long my lady.
225
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,428
And again from the heart. I'll never
forget your kindness as long as I live.
226
00:15:10,954 --> 00:15:12,887
I hope you live a great
deal longer than that.
227
00:15:41,690 --> 00:15:45,882
Isn't it funny, Ellen? You can't see
the wind and you can't touch it.
228
00:15:46,164 --> 00:15:47,202
But it's there.
229
00:15:48,220 --> 00:15:51,549
I think you'd better have this round
you, dear. It's getting quite chilly.
230
00:15:52,323 --> 00:15:54,061
Listen .. what's that?
231
00:15:54,324 --> 00:15:56,455
Those are The Priory bells, dear.
From over the marshes.
232
00:15:56,671 --> 00:15:58,875
Oh .. I shan't like that.
233
00:16:00,388 --> 00:16:03,269
She hates bells.
- Especially church bells.
234
00:16:03,959 --> 00:16:06,415
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong.
235
00:16:06,823 --> 00:16:08,452
Aren't the marshes pretty.
236
00:16:09,396 --> 00:16:11,378
The grass is too long and untidy.
237
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,566
If I had a knife and a bit of string,
I'd cut it and tie it up in bundles.
238
00:16:18,823 --> 00:16:21,809
Are there any sheep here on the marshes?
- Yes, Miss.
239
00:16:22,119 --> 00:16:25,040
I think sheep are so clever to
chew their cud the way they do.
240
00:16:25,490 --> 00:16:26,918
It's very difficult.
241
00:16:27,875 --> 00:16:29,030
I've tried.
242
00:16:31,415 --> 00:16:34,749
You ought to be a sailor, Miss.
They're always chewing tobacco.
243
00:16:35,584 --> 00:16:37,415
The man I was to marry was a sailor.
244
00:16:38,195 --> 00:16:39,482
He gave me this.
245
00:16:40,242 --> 00:16:42,105
It's all I have to remember him by.
246
00:16:43,219 --> 00:16:44,631
He was wrecked at sea.
247
00:16:46,036 --> 00:16:47,692
They were all drowned.
248
00:16:48,609 --> 00:16:50,781
It must have been a bit of
sadness for you, Missy.
249
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,617
Oh no. I've quite forgotten
what he looked like.
250
00:16:53,867 --> 00:16:58,114
I saw a drowned man once. They took
him out of the Thames. He was green.
251
00:16:59,726 --> 00:17:00,800
Frogs.
252
00:17:01,614 --> 00:17:03,598
There must be lots of frogs.
253
00:17:04,872 --> 00:17:07,194
We used to have such
fun with them at home.
254
00:17:07,942 --> 00:17:11,767
We used to put them on the dining-table
and make them jump in the marmalade pot.
255
00:17:24,590 --> 00:17:27,124
Look. There's a bird's nest.
- So there is.
256
00:17:27,425 --> 00:17:29,585
It must be last summer's.
- I should like to have that.
257
00:17:29,801 --> 00:17:30,956
Bates, stop please.
258
00:17:33,961 --> 00:17:35,709
Oh .. I have it.
259
00:17:37,576 --> 00:17:40,244
Isn't it beautiful?
- Oh dear, it's all cobwebby.
260
00:17:41,088 --> 00:17:43,437
And it has a horrid smell.
- It mustn't be wasted.
261
00:17:43,773 --> 00:17:46,676
I shall save it until next year
and then I'll put it back again.
262
00:17:47,792 --> 00:17:49,568
Who knows where we'll be next year?
263
00:17:50,919 --> 00:17:53,493
Not in London anyway. You promised that.
264
00:17:54,646 --> 00:17:56,807
Yes, I promised that.
- Look.
265
00:17:59,651 --> 00:18:02,019
Louisa .. how did that happen?
266
00:18:02,290 --> 00:18:03,334
She did it.
- Who?
267
00:18:03,721 --> 00:18:04,985
That woman in London.
268
00:18:05,980 --> 00:18:08,599
She didn't give us enough food either.
- 'Discipline' she said.
269
00:18:09,276 --> 00:18:11,196
Louisa used to cry all night.
270
00:18:11,605 --> 00:18:13,863
I didn't. She couldn't discipline me.
271
00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:17,371
We'll be alright here
though with Miss Fiske.
272
00:18:17,911 --> 00:18:18,927
She won't beat us.
273
00:18:20,371 --> 00:18:22,086
No darling, she won't beat you.
274
00:18:23,299 --> 00:18:24,774
No-one will again. Ever.
275
00:18:35,203 --> 00:18:38,132
Now remember what I told you both.
You're not to talk too much.
276
00:18:38,505 --> 00:18:40,175
Wait until Miss Fiske knows you better.
277
00:18:40,391 --> 00:18:42,433
How can she get to know
us better if we don't talk?
278
00:18:43,833 --> 00:18:45,955
Come along dear.
Bates, get the luggage, will you.
279
00:18:46,171 --> 00:18:47,147
Yes, ma'am.
280
00:18:55,788 --> 00:18:57,441
They look harmless.
- What, Miss?
281
00:18:58,044 --> 00:19:00,065
Never mind. Go and put the kettle on.
- Yes, Miss.
282
00:19:07,201 --> 00:19:09,332
Well, here we are.
- I'm glad.
283
00:19:09,821 --> 00:19:12,750
Miss Fiske .. my sister
Emily, my sister Louisa.
284
00:19:13,012 --> 00:19:15,614
How do you do, Emily?
- We're very glad to be here.
285
00:19:16,355 --> 00:19:18,625
Louisa.
- I don't like people to touch me.
286
00:19:20,092 --> 00:19:22,203
I'm afraid Miss Fiske will
think you're very rude.
287
00:19:22,637 --> 00:19:25,893
They're rather tired, poor dears.
- I never get tired.
288
00:19:26,246 --> 00:19:28,424
I sometimes walk about
the house all night.
289
00:19:29,354 --> 00:19:32,358
Do you indeed?
- No, of course she doesn't, Miss Fiske.
290
00:19:35,582 --> 00:19:37,090
What beautiful furniture.
291
00:19:37,766 --> 00:19:40,401
Just like we used to have
before we lost all our money.
292
00:19:40,705 --> 00:19:44,104
Some of these <i>are </i>our things, dear.
Miss Fiske bought them at my Curio Shop.
293
00:19:44,499 --> 00:19:45,716
I want my tea.
294
00:19:45,982 --> 00:19:49,687
Emily, see .. here's the
grand champ himself.
295
00:19:50,198 --> 00:19:52,303
Remember when father bought him for us?
296
00:19:52,874 --> 00:19:54,913
I wonder if his head still nods.
297
00:19:55,230 --> 00:19:57,850
Ding-dong, ding-dong ..
- Louisa, dear.
298
00:19:58,188 --> 00:20:00,094
Bates, be careful.
You'll scratch the furniture.
299
00:20:00,329 --> 00:20:01,719
Very good, ma'am.
300
00:20:07,149 --> 00:20:09,201
I must say you've brought
enough luggage with you.
301
00:20:09,549 --> 00:20:11,220
We've brought everything.
- Everything?
302
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,760
We had to.
- Why?
303
00:20:13,089 --> 00:20:14,453
When they sent for the police.
304
00:20:14,787 --> 00:20:17,483
Now, my dears. I'm sure all this
can't possibly interest Miss Fiske.
305
00:20:17,819 --> 00:20:19,779
I think we should go up
and rest a bit before tea.
306
00:20:20,125 --> 00:20:22,023
Whatever you say, Ellen.
- Come along, Emily.
307
00:20:22,239 --> 00:20:24,948
That smelly train was very dirty.
308
00:20:25,188 --> 00:20:28,708
She's always fussing about the dirt.
I hope you keep things tidy here.
309
00:20:28,924 --> 00:20:32,483
Cleanliness is next to
Godliness .. don't you agree?
310
00:20:33,018 --> 00:20:35,985
Well .. I'm quite clean, I believe.
311
00:20:36,652 --> 00:20:39,005
But I don't know that
I'm particularly Godly.
312
00:20:39,668 --> 00:20:41,267
I thought you were a Roman.
313
00:20:41,837 --> 00:20:42,824
Isn't that yours?
314
00:20:43,077 --> 00:20:45,458
Miss Fiske is a Roman, dear.
And a very devoted one.
315
00:20:45,929 --> 00:20:47,614
Come along Louisa, Emily.
316
00:20:47,957 --> 00:20:50,102
Father, didn't approve of Romans.
317
00:20:52,032 --> 00:20:53,290
And neither do I.
318
00:21:13,724 --> 00:21:16,116
I expect it's one of those boobies.
319
00:21:16,588 --> 00:21:20,641
Miss Emily was drawing cat's faces on
brown paper yesterday when you were out.
320
00:21:21,138 --> 00:21:23,357
I can't stand it. I can't stand it.
321
00:21:23,721 --> 00:21:26,634
My lovely paisley shawl. It's ruined.
322
00:21:27,927 --> 00:21:31,189
You'd better get some vinegar and see
if you can do something about this spot.
323
00:21:31,443 --> 00:21:32,256
Yes, Miss.
324
00:21:32,810 --> 00:21:35,900
I'm utterly exhausted clearing
up after their messes.
325
00:21:36,172 --> 00:21:38,204
I don't wonder, Miss. So am I.
326
00:21:38,529 --> 00:21:42,030
And you should see their
bedroom. It's like a goat's-pen.
327
00:21:42,483 --> 00:21:45,783
I know it. If it isn't one
thing, it's another.
328
00:21:46,153 --> 00:21:49,633
For the last six weeks were like living
in the middle of Piccadilly Circus.
329
00:21:50,566 --> 00:21:52,478
My heart won't stand it.
330
00:21:53,336 --> 00:21:55,144
Go and get my smelling salts.
331
00:21:56,829 --> 00:21:59,720
Where are they, Miss?
- In the usual place, of course.
332
00:21:59,984 --> 00:22:01,928
Nothing is in the usual
place these days.
333
00:22:02,169 --> 00:22:02,822
No.
334
00:22:03,664 --> 00:22:05,532
Well then, get me a cold compress.
335
00:22:06,303 --> 00:22:09,597
I shall lie down and
take a nap while I can.
336
00:22:13,641 --> 00:22:14,627
Miss Fiske.
337
00:22:14,950 --> 00:22:18,862
Yes, what is it? What is it?
- Will they be staying much longer?
338
00:22:20,743 --> 00:22:23,049
They'll have my invitation
to go this evening.
339
00:22:26,420 --> 00:22:30,273
Oh dear, I wonder where Emily has
gone to. She ought to be back by now.
340
00:22:31,513 --> 00:22:33,331
I can't see her anywhere.
341
00:22:33,776 --> 00:22:37,997
I wish I were brave like Emily.
I should like to take long walks too.
342
00:22:38,404 --> 00:22:40,016
And pick up things.
343
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,248
Perhaps I shall be able to
after we've stayed here longer.
344
00:22:44,902 --> 00:22:46,145
I'm sure you will, dear.
345
00:22:46,442 --> 00:22:48,530
I shall be staying here, shan't I?
346
00:22:49,544 --> 00:22:52,354
You're not planning to send us away?
Are you, Ellen?
347
00:22:53,227 --> 00:22:54,739
No dear. Of course I'm not.
348
00:22:55,199 --> 00:22:57,189
This is what you've always promised us.
349
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,885
A little place in the country
where we can always be safe.
350
00:23:01,424 --> 00:23:04,604
Yes .. it's the one thing
I've been working for.
351
00:23:05,415 --> 00:23:07,236
Ever since we had to
give up the old house.
352
00:23:07,574 --> 00:23:10,567
Naturally, Estuary House
could never be like that.
353
00:23:11,114 --> 00:23:12,511
But it's nice enough.
354
00:23:12,898 --> 00:23:14,774
Yes, and Miss Fiske has
been very kind to us.
355
00:23:15,471 --> 00:23:18,924
Miss Fiske .. may I tell
you something, Ellen?
356
00:23:19,743 --> 00:23:21,102
Just one of my secrets.
357
00:23:21,866 --> 00:23:22,931
Of course you may.
358
00:23:23,717 --> 00:23:25,589
I don't like Miss Fiske.
359
00:23:27,025 --> 00:23:30,951
Couldn't we send her away? Then it
would <i>really</i> be just the three of us.
360
00:23:31,260 --> 00:23:33,656
But I keep telling you,
Louisa. It's <i>her</i> house.
361
00:23:34,059 --> 00:23:36,189
Oh no. You'll never
make me believe that.
362
00:23:36,987 --> 00:23:38,457
All out lovely things are there.
363
00:23:39,795 --> 00:23:43,336
We'll never have to go away, will we?
- No, darling. I promised you.
364
00:23:44,163 --> 00:23:44,998
Never.
365
00:23:46,020 --> 00:23:48,323
I think Miss Fiske wants us to go.
366
00:23:49,091 --> 00:23:50,341
Both of us.
367
00:23:50,928 --> 00:23:52,812
I'm sure I can persuade
her to let you stay.
368
00:23:54,613 --> 00:23:56,349
Oh dear, I do wish Emily would come.
369
00:23:56,602 --> 00:23:58,912
Maybe we'd better get along
home in case she's waiting there.
370
00:23:59,701 --> 00:24:00,838
Come along, dear.
371
00:24:01,945 --> 00:24:04,810
I don't want her upsetting Miss Fiske
again. She can be very tactless.
372
00:24:23,370 --> 00:24:25,220
Here girl, take this.
373
00:24:25,436 --> 00:24:27,267
Thanks a lot. What are we to do with it?
374
00:24:27,506 --> 00:24:29,709
Put it in the woodshed,
where it belongs.
375
00:24:29,962 --> 00:24:33,268
The woodshed is full. I won't have
you cluttering up my kitchen with it.
376
00:24:33,731 --> 00:24:35,093
Very well then.
377
00:24:44,580 --> 00:24:46,788
Oh dear ..
378
00:24:48,844 --> 00:24:50,225
What is it now?
379
00:24:54,808 --> 00:24:56,535
Wait until Miss Fiske sees this.
380
00:24:57,306 --> 00:24:59,938
What's the matter now? My goodness.
381
00:25:00,154 --> 00:25:02,116
More wood?
- Yes. Miss Emily dumped it.
382
00:25:02,602 --> 00:25:04,986
Never mind. You get out of here.
- I got a nice lot today.
383
00:25:05,672 --> 00:25:08,305
What are you thinking of? Making a
mess with it all over my clean floor.
384
00:25:08,521 --> 00:25:10,394
The girl wouldn't let
me put it in the kitchen.
385
00:25:10,671 --> 00:25:13,708
She's quite right. I told you to stop
bringing in wood. We have enough.
386
00:25:13,924 --> 00:25:16,497
I must tidy up the river
banks. I hate waste.
387
00:25:16,713 --> 00:25:18,995
And I hate litter. Now you
clear it away immediately.
388
00:25:19,239 --> 00:25:21,201
I won't be ordered to do things.
389
00:25:22,767 --> 00:25:24,118
This is too much.
390
00:25:24,496 --> 00:25:26,293
My best polished table.
391
00:25:26,789 --> 00:25:28,933
Look how these shells have scratched it.
392
00:25:29,269 --> 00:25:31,965
What's this? Wet seaweed and a horrid ..
393
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,604
Dead bird.
394
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,561
Leave my bird alone. And my shells.
395
00:25:37,060 --> 00:25:38,248
They are my treasures.
396
00:25:38,610 --> 00:25:41,515
We don't understand expensive things.
It's so long since we had any.
397
00:25:41,981 --> 00:25:44,044
I know it's very simple of me.
But I am simple.
398
00:25:44,260 --> 00:25:46,087
Emily .. what's wrong?
399
00:25:46,309 --> 00:25:48,986
I hate her. She threw my
bird into the fireplace.
400
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,507
Emily, control yourself.
401
00:25:50,723 --> 00:25:52,603
See what she's done
with her ridiculous shells.
402
00:25:52,885 --> 00:25:54,816
It will take a month's
polishing to put it right.
403
00:25:55,032 --> 00:25:56,708
I'm sorry Miss Fiske, I'll put it right.
404
00:25:57,276 --> 00:26:00,394
No Ellen, you shan't. I'll do it.
Let me do it. I'll polish it.
405
00:26:00,610 --> 00:26:02,434
Every day, all through the winter.
406
00:26:02,769 --> 00:26:05,511
Sweet of you, Louisa. But I doubt
you'll be here through the winter.
407
00:26:05,969 --> 00:26:07,630
But we shall. Ellen said so.
408
00:26:07,953 --> 00:26:10,046
You're mistaken, Louisa.
I said nothing of the kind.
409
00:26:10,262 --> 00:26:12,701
But you did. You promised.
- Louisa, will you be quiet.
410
00:26:16,013 --> 00:26:18,157
My heavens. This is the last straw.
411
00:26:18,802 --> 00:26:20,996
You'll drive me as crazy as yourselves.
412
00:26:24,448 --> 00:26:25,406
Oh, Ellen.
413
00:26:27,312 --> 00:26:28,535
Miss Fiske.
414
00:26:29,134 --> 00:26:31,588
I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to say that, but ..
415
00:26:32,377 --> 00:26:34,890
I've had about as much as I can endure.
416
00:26:36,396 --> 00:26:39,219
Emily .. take Louisa upstairs.
417
00:26:39,889 --> 00:26:41,482
Now, stop your crying, Louisa.
418
00:26:42,358 --> 00:26:44,045
There's nothing to cry about.
419
00:26:45,286 --> 00:26:46,141
Do you hear?
420
00:26:46,743 --> 00:26:48,817
Go upstairs. Both of you.
421
00:26:51,981 --> 00:26:53,380
And close the door behind you.
422
00:26:58,271 --> 00:27:00,113
That was a cruel thing to say.
423
00:27:00,788 --> 00:27:01,944
But it's true.
424
00:27:02,778 --> 00:27:06,123
One with her telescope and the other
with her mania for collecting things.
425
00:27:06,703 --> 00:27:08,149
They are insane, both of them.
426
00:27:08,609 --> 00:27:10,479
Please don't use that word again.
427
00:27:11,078 --> 00:27:12,310
Emily was right.
428
00:27:12,956 --> 00:27:14,664
But then people who
have all they want ..
429
00:27:15,013 --> 00:27:17,979
Never understand how much the smallest
things mean to those who haven't.
430
00:27:18,345 --> 00:27:19,046
Really?
431
00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:21,362
I don't think this calls for a sermon.
432
00:27:22,276 --> 00:27:24,365
I've been more than generous
to you and your sisters.
433
00:27:24,581 --> 00:27:26,750
People have always been very
generous to you, Miss Fiske.
434
00:27:26,966 --> 00:27:29,126
My sisters and I have never had
friends to send <i>us</i> money.
435
00:27:29,379 --> 00:27:31,480
That's hardly my fault, is it.
- No.
436
00:27:31,793 --> 00:27:35,189
Don't you feel you have a responsibility
to those less fortunate than you?
437
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,615
I don't know what you're talking about.
438
00:27:38,441 --> 00:27:40,476
Life hasn't been very
kind to us, Miss Fiske.
439
00:27:40,817 --> 00:27:42,798
Every penny we've ever
had, I've had to work for.
440
00:27:43,014 --> 00:27:45,706
Every penny. But at least
we have our self-respect.
441
00:27:47,024 --> 00:27:48,654
How dare you.
442
00:27:49,634 --> 00:27:51,866
How dare you criticise my life.
443
00:27:52,216 --> 00:27:55,606
Do you think I don't envy women who
have respectability? Who have families?
444
00:27:55,822 --> 00:27:58,890
Who aren't just forgotten and pensioned
off when they lose their stock-in-trade.
445
00:27:59,208 --> 00:28:01,196
Then you can't blame me
for fighting for my family.
446
00:28:01,412 --> 00:28:03,466
Very admirable, but it's
your family and not mine.
447
00:28:03,941 --> 00:28:05,065
Let me tell you this.
448
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,935
Your sisters, insane or not,
have overstayed their welcome.
449
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,611
I invite them here for two days
and they've stayed six weeks.
450
00:28:10,827 --> 00:28:13,450
Or perhaps you were planning
to keep them here forever?
451
00:28:14,485 --> 00:28:16,324
Well .. I had thought ..
452
00:28:17,124 --> 00:28:19,622
That I might pay something out
of my wages for their keep.
453
00:28:19,895 --> 00:28:22,261
Ellen, you're a hypocrite.
You're worse, you're a cheat.
454
00:28:22,937 --> 00:28:26,279
You meant to foist your wretched
brood on me and bleed me white.
455
00:28:26,626 --> 00:28:30,814
And when I saw through your scheme, you
had the insolence to turn and abuse me.
456
00:28:31,124 --> 00:28:32,701
But you've chosen the wrong woman.
457
00:28:32,917 --> 00:28:35,255
You get those sisters of yours
out of this house at once.
458
00:28:35,604 --> 00:28:37,644
And take a month's wages
and go with them.
459
00:28:39,743 --> 00:28:40,815
Miss Fiske.
460
00:29:08,710 --> 00:29:11,039
Ellen .. why aren't you in bed?
461
00:29:11,451 --> 00:29:13,179
Why are you prowling about at this hour?
462
00:29:13,761 --> 00:29:16,786
Miss Fiske, may I come in?
I must talk with you, please.
463
00:29:17,357 --> 00:29:18,516
Well, mind your tongue.
464
00:29:18,764 --> 00:29:20,987
We don't want any more of
this afternoon's unpleasantness.
465
00:29:23,612 --> 00:29:24,936
I'm sorry about that.
466
00:29:25,715 --> 00:29:27,833
I was wrong. I shouldn't
have spoken to you as I did.
467
00:29:28,791 --> 00:29:30,462
No .. you shouldn't.
468
00:29:37,617 --> 00:29:38,744
Miss Fiske.
469
00:29:39,702 --> 00:29:42,303
Do you remember the letter that arrived
the day I went away to London?
470
00:29:42,556 --> 00:29:46,058
Yes .. what about it?
- It was from their landlady.
471
00:29:46,613 --> 00:29:47,747
Emily and Louisa.
472
00:29:48,187 --> 00:29:49,552
Had been a little difficult.
473
00:29:49,893 --> 00:29:51,137
She'd sent for the police.
474
00:29:52,329 --> 00:29:54,369
They were going to be
put away in an institution.
475
00:29:54,764 --> 00:29:57,034
The landlady was quite right.
That's where they belong.
476
00:29:57,393 --> 00:30:00,433
But Miss Fiske, you don't
understand. They're my sisters.
477
00:30:00,820 --> 00:30:02,707
You don't know what I've
gone through for them.
478
00:30:02,923 --> 00:30:05,036
They've no-one else in the
world to turn to but me.
479
00:30:05,740 --> 00:30:08,948
I pleaded with the police to release
them. They agreed on one condition.
480
00:30:09,533 --> 00:30:11,458
That they were to remain
in my personal care.
481
00:30:11,740 --> 00:30:13,336
That I was to be responsible for them.
482
00:30:13,787 --> 00:30:15,440
And if there were any more complaints.
483
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,522
That they were to be put away forever.
That's why I can't send them away.
484
00:30:19,825 --> 00:30:21,889
All this devotion is
very admirable, Ellen.
485
00:30:22,285 --> 00:30:24,471
But I fail to see how I can
help in any way at all.
486
00:30:24,801 --> 00:30:26,903
Oh but you can. You can, Miss Fiske.
487
00:30:27,618 --> 00:30:29,823
I thought perhaps they
might use the attic upstairs.
488
00:30:30,162 --> 00:30:32,379
They'll stay there out of the
way where you don't see them.
489
00:30:32,716 --> 00:30:34,876
They could use the back stairs
when they come in and out.
490
00:30:35,129 --> 00:30:37,055
Ellen, what are you talking about?
491
00:30:37,271 --> 00:30:40,267
I promise they'll never come near you.
You'll never know they're in the house.
492
00:30:40,829 --> 00:30:43,797
I'll look after them myself.
I'll cook their meals for them.
493
00:30:44,387 --> 00:30:46,231
I promise they won't
be any more trouble.
494
00:30:46,913 --> 00:30:49,120
Miss Fiske, they must
be with me, they must.
495
00:30:49,439 --> 00:30:51,590
I'll pay for their keep.
I'll work for nothing.
496
00:30:51,834 --> 00:30:54,509
Please .. oh, please Miss Fiske.
497
00:30:54,829 --> 00:30:56,720
Ellen, have you quite
gone out of your mind?
498
00:30:57,064 --> 00:31:00,126
You must be blind if you can't realise
they'd always be getting in my way.
499
00:31:00,342 --> 00:31:02,612
You pack them off tomorrow.
- But, Miss Fiske. Won't ..?
500
00:31:02,828 --> 00:31:04,369
No Ellen, my mind is made up.
501
00:31:05,471 --> 00:31:09,239
If you want to, you can stay here a few
days until you've found a new situation.
502
00:31:10,018 --> 00:31:12,814
Now run along to bed. And make
certain they leave tomorrow.
503
00:31:14,132 --> 00:31:16,592
You wouldn't want me to be sending
for the police, would you?
504
00:31:18,682 --> 00:31:20,329
Goodnight Ellen. I'm tired.
505
00:31:24,230 --> 00:31:25,186
Goodnight.
506
00:31:48,528 --> 00:31:50,908
But you told her you were
going to send us away.
507
00:31:52,592 --> 00:31:54,344
I'm not going to send you away.
508
00:31:54,732 --> 00:31:56,620
We heard you. We were listening.
509
00:31:57,784 --> 00:31:59,386
Isn't she terrible, Ellen?
510
00:32:00,207 --> 00:32:01,536
She's wicked.
511
00:32:03,006 --> 00:32:04,907
I'm not going to send you away.
512
00:32:06,836 --> 00:32:07,678
Never.
513
00:32:08,554 --> 00:32:11,269
If you're not sending us away,
what are you going to do?
514
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,293
I don't know.
515
00:32:16,674 --> 00:32:17,831
I must think.
516
00:32:30,078 --> 00:32:32,550
I've always wanted
to explore an old castle.
517
00:32:32,971 --> 00:32:35,857
Will it have a dungeon do you think?
- They all have dungeons.
518
00:32:36,191 --> 00:32:36,978
With bats.
519
00:32:37,415 --> 00:32:39,138
No, dear. Bats are in belfries.
520
00:32:39,459 --> 00:32:43,180
There's sure to be secret passageways
and places where they'd hide things.
521
00:32:45,198 --> 00:32:46,346
Like that.
522
00:32:54,259 --> 00:32:58,372
Yes .. I'm sure Miss Fiske has lots
of exciting things hidden in there.
523
00:32:58,588 --> 00:33:00,212
Her jewels, I'm sure.
524
00:33:01,019 --> 00:33:04,181
I've looked in all her boxes and
haven't been able to find them.
525
00:33:04,718 --> 00:33:07,167
Are you both ready?
- Oh yes. Quite.
526
00:33:07,404 --> 00:33:10,004
I managed to pack all
the lunch into one bag.
527
00:33:10,660 --> 00:33:11,630
Mine.
528
00:33:12,914 --> 00:33:15,600
Come here and sit down.
I want to talk to you both.
529
00:33:25,193 --> 00:33:25,808
Now.
530
00:33:26,107 --> 00:33:28,868
I haven't told you the real reason why
you're being sent away for a whole day.
531
00:33:29,589 --> 00:33:32,633
The truth is I want to be entirely
alone with Miss Fiske for a few hours.
532
00:33:32,849 --> 00:33:34,817
Is that why you got rid of Lucy too?
533
00:33:35,131 --> 00:33:37,177
I didn't get rid of Lucy, Emily.
She had a toothache.
534
00:33:37,393 --> 00:33:40,293
Oh Ellen dear, you know that's
not true. She didn't want to go at all.
535
00:33:40,754 --> 00:33:42,833
I said she had a toothache, Louisa.
536
00:33:44,698 --> 00:33:45,628
Now listen.
537
00:33:46,220 --> 00:33:49,408
Last night, while you were both asleep,
I had a long talk with Miss Fiske.
538
00:33:50,131 --> 00:33:52,867
She's tired of the marshes
and wants to travel for a bit.
539
00:33:53,530 --> 00:33:55,633
I've persuaded her to
sell this house to me.
540
00:33:55,849 --> 00:33:58,210
Not really, Ellen?
- We haven't discussed price yet.
541
00:33:58,976 --> 00:34:02,422
That's why I must be alone with her, so
we can talk with nothing to distract us.
542
00:34:02,694 --> 00:34:05,355
She may want more than
you're prepared to pay.
543
00:34:07,101 --> 00:34:09,142
I'm prepared to pay
quite a big price, Emily.
544
00:34:09,569 --> 00:34:11,442
Oh, lovely, lovely, lovely.
545
00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:14,491
Oh Emily, aren't you excited?
- Louisa, be quiet.
546
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:17,415
Now, there's one more thing.
547
00:34:18,401 --> 00:34:19,716
The most important.
548
00:34:35,231 --> 00:34:36,722
You see this bible, both of you?
549
00:34:37,587 --> 00:34:39,899
I want you to swear on it.
By father's memory.
550
00:34:40,590 --> 00:34:43,550
That you'll never repeat a word of my
buying this house as long as you live.
551
00:34:45,940 --> 00:34:46,963
What do I say?
552
00:34:47,581 --> 00:34:48,963
Just say 'I swear'.
553
00:34:49,670 --> 00:34:51,113
Oh .. I swear.
554
00:34:51,554 --> 00:34:52,484
You too, Emily.
555
00:34:52,787 --> 00:34:54,831
I won't swear on the bible. It's wicked.
556
00:34:55,435 --> 00:34:56,571
If you don't Emily ..
557
00:34:56,869 --> 00:34:59,143
I shan't buy the house and I'll
send you both back to London.
558
00:34:59,426 --> 00:35:01,058
Oh Emily, be sensible.
559
00:35:01,660 --> 00:35:04,984
I don't like being made
to do things .. I promise.
560
00:35:05,604 --> 00:35:06,759
Now, remember.
561
00:35:07,527 --> 00:35:09,016
That's a sacred oath.
562
00:35:15,968 --> 00:35:18,162
Here's Bates. Hurry now.
There's no time to waste.
563
00:35:35,582 --> 00:35:38,805
Drive slowly Bates.
Please don't let them get cold.
564
00:35:39,425 --> 00:35:42,412
You can take your time. I shan't be
expecting you back before dusk.
565
00:35:42,815 --> 00:35:43,999
Very good, ma'am.
566
00:35:44,599 --> 00:35:47,698
Goodbye Ellen. I wish you could come.
- I wish you were coming too.
567
00:35:48,129 --> 00:35:49,432
Goodbye Ellen.
- Goodbye.
568
00:35:49,861 --> 00:35:50,855
Goodbye, dears.
569
00:35:51,341 --> 00:35:53,195
Have a good time.
- Thank you.
570
00:36:58,085 --> 00:36:59,246
I'm out of practice.
571
00:37:11,178 --> 00:37:14,210
To dear Louisa and dear Emily.
572
00:37:14,858 --> 00:37:16,359
May we never meet again.
573
00:37:22,767 --> 00:37:24,335
That is so good.
574
00:39:14,210 --> 00:39:16,013
[ Door knocks ]
575
00:39:20,175 --> 00:39:22,634
May we come in?
- Yes.
576
00:39:25,330 --> 00:39:28,536
I'd like to speak to Miss Ellen.
Unless Miss Fiske is back?
577
00:39:29,038 --> 00:39:32,096
No, she's still away. I'll fetch Ellen.
578
00:39:34,682 --> 00:39:36,292
We're making jam.
579
00:39:44,568 --> 00:39:45,883
Good evening.
580
00:39:46,963 --> 00:39:48,418
It isn't a very good one, is it?
581
00:39:48,747 --> 00:39:52,681
No, as a matter of fact it's not.
Cats and dogs.
582
00:39:55,747 --> 00:39:56,934
Good evening, Sisters.
583
00:39:57,318 --> 00:39:58,650
Sorry to keep you waiting.
584
00:39:58,866 --> 00:40:00,911
But we're in the middle of
putting up our quince jam.
585
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,087
Please don't apologise. I'm afraid
we've come on a begging errand.
586
00:40:04,550 --> 00:40:06,781
Our supplier of oil hasn't
arrived from Rochester.
587
00:40:07,225 --> 00:40:10,245
And the Reverend Mother wondered
if we might borrow a can until Sunday.
588
00:40:10,738 --> 00:40:12,225
Of course .. Lucy.
589
00:40:16,315 --> 00:40:17,179
Yes, Miss?
590
00:40:17,438 --> 00:40:19,874
Will you run out to the shed
and bring in a can of paraffin.
591
00:40:21,575 --> 00:40:22,653
Yes, Miss Ellen.
592
00:40:24,007 --> 00:40:25,588
Won't you sit down, Sisters?
593
00:40:50,207 --> 00:40:51,986
Hey. Shush ..
594
00:40:53,587 --> 00:40:54,636
You again.
595
00:40:55,191 --> 00:40:56,464
Bad pennies always turn up.
596
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,166
What are you doing here, hanging
about with the storm and all?
597
00:40:59,382 --> 00:41:01,834
I've a little business inside.
Had to ensure the coast was clear.
598
00:41:02,199 --> 00:41:03,901
What business?
- Listen, Lucky.
599
00:41:04,179 --> 00:41:05,963
Is Miss Fiske about?
- No, she's away.
600
00:41:06,198 --> 00:41:08,242
And my aunt Ellen?
- She's here right enough.
601
00:41:08,601 --> 00:41:11,306
And them two crazy sisters of hers.
- Does she know I've been here before?
602
00:41:11,776 --> 00:41:14,618
No. Mistress said not to say.
- Good. Get on with your work.
603
00:41:15,044 --> 00:41:17,096
I'll come in the front door
like a proper gentleman.
604
00:41:18,142 --> 00:41:20,067
Remember .. we don't know each other.
605
00:41:20,424 --> 00:41:22,135
Not that we shan't .. later.
606
00:41:22,483 --> 00:41:24,169
I'm very particular who I know.
607
00:41:30,205 --> 00:41:33,391
For a moment, when I saw the candles
burning, I thought Miss Fiske was back.
608
00:41:33,607 --> 00:41:35,165
Ellen's been lighting them lately.
609
00:41:35,381 --> 00:41:38,777
She thinks Miss Fiske would like her to.
She says it keeps her memory burning.
610
00:41:40,386 --> 00:41:42,024
When are you expecting her back?
611
00:41:42,607 --> 00:41:44,132
I really couldn't say, Sister.
612
00:41:44,649 --> 00:41:46,293
She hasn't written for over a fortnight.
613
00:41:46,601 --> 00:41:48,509
We were so surprised
to learn she'd gone.
614
00:41:48,986 --> 00:41:51,374
She hadn't mentioned she was
planning a journey anywhere.
615
00:41:51,718 --> 00:41:53,242
No. It was quite unexpected.
616
00:41:53,558 --> 00:41:56,143
She had a letter from some old
friends inviting her on a trip.
617
00:41:56,566 --> 00:41:58,438
As they were sailing
the very next morning.
618
00:41:58,858 --> 00:42:01,023
The Reverend Mother wonders
what to do about the rent.
619
00:42:01,426 --> 00:42:03,908
From the little 3-acre field
we hire from Miss Fiske.
620
00:42:04,610 --> 00:42:07,476
Well, I'm managing all her
affairs while she's away, Sister.
621
00:42:07,990 --> 00:42:10,527
If you send it to me, I'll forward
it when I get her next address.
622
00:42:10,929 --> 00:42:12,143
Here, Miss Ellen.
623
00:42:12,665 --> 00:42:14,460
Good evening, Sisters.
- Thank you.
624
00:42:14,676 --> 00:42:17,225
That seems heavy. Go with the
Sisters Lucy and give them a hand.
625
00:42:17,662 --> 00:42:20,237
That's very kind of you, Miss Ellen.
- We've been bother enough.
626
00:42:20,526 --> 00:42:23,279
I'll be glad to go. I'll get my cloak.
627
00:42:23,813 --> 00:42:27,025
I think you are so brave
going out in the dark. I ..
628
00:42:29,550 --> 00:42:31,983
I hate the dark .. it frightens me.
629
00:42:32,329 --> 00:42:33,522
It shouldn't, my dear.
630
00:42:33,962 --> 00:42:35,605
Don't you believe we're watched over?
631
00:42:35,929 --> 00:42:36,605
Yes.
632
00:42:36,916 --> 00:42:39,057
But I'm never quite sure
who is watching us.
633
00:42:40,248 --> 00:42:42,591
I'm quite ready.
- We'd better be going.
634
00:42:43,099 --> 00:42:45,775
Goodnight and thank you very much.
- Goodnight Sisters.
635
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:47,278
Goodnight.
636
00:42:49,166 --> 00:42:51,399
There dear, you carry the oil.
637
00:42:51,737 --> 00:42:53,833
And I'll hold the umbrella over us both.
638
00:42:55,061 --> 00:42:56,885
Goodnight again.
- Goodnight.
639
00:42:57,307 --> 00:42:58,265
Goodnight.
640
00:43:02,547 --> 00:43:04,002
I must get back to the jam.
641
00:43:09,740 --> 00:43:12,474
Ellen was unusually nice to
Sister Theresa, wasn't she.
642
00:43:12,982 --> 00:43:14,966
They were quite chatty together.
- Louisa.
643
00:43:15,572 --> 00:43:16,883
I think Ellen is changing.
644
00:43:17,727 --> 00:43:19,727
I hope she's not getting
in league with the nuns.
645
00:43:20,445 --> 00:43:21,260
Against us.
646
00:43:21,660 --> 00:43:24,500
Ellen would never do that.
- She's taken to lighting those candles.
647
00:43:26,228 --> 00:43:29,299
I think I'll blow them out.
- Ellen wouldn't like that.
648
00:43:37,250 --> 00:43:39,018
Why should she have
everything her own way?
649
00:43:45,983 --> 00:43:47,147
Emily.
650
00:43:47,882 --> 00:43:50,640
What have you done?
- Something I wanted to do.
651
00:43:53,975 --> 00:43:55,167
[ Door knocks ]
652
00:43:57,910 --> 00:44:02,446
Louisa .. answer the door dear. Sister
Theresa's probably forgotten something.
653
00:44:02,792 --> 00:44:04,069
[ Door knocks ]
654
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:15,529
Alright.
655
00:44:15,879 --> 00:44:17,664
Don't be like that. I won't eat you.
656
00:44:20,998 --> 00:44:22,181
Who are you?
657
00:44:24,238 --> 00:44:25,637
And what do you want?
658
00:44:28,407 --> 00:44:29,447
Dear aunt Ellen.
659
00:44:30,236 --> 00:44:31,460
After all these years.
660
00:44:33,102 --> 00:44:35,749
What a family reunion. I'm Albert.
Don't you remember me?
661
00:44:35,965 --> 00:44:36,876
Albert.
662
00:44:37,941 --> 00:44:40,363
Of course. Rose's boy.
- So it is.
663
00:44:40,644 --> 00:44:43,402
Fancy Albert being here.
- Where on earth did you come from?
664
00:44:43,771 --> 00:44:45,815
Gravesend .. on a duck's back.
665
00:44:46,335 --> 00:44:48,923
It's Albert right enough.
Always saying funny things.
666
00:44:49,151 --> 00:44:51,064
He's soaked through.
- Yes, so I see.
667
00:44:51,292 --> 00:44:53,195
Don't stand there dripping
all over my best rug.
668
00:44:53,411 --> 00:44:55,045
Go by the fire with your wet things.
669
00:44:55,353 --> 00:44:58,190
That's more like my loving auntie.
My very distant auntie.
670
00:44:59,169 --> 00:45:03,139
Now we'll have fun with Albert here.
I'll go and fetch him a dressing gown.
671
00:45:03,573 --> 00:45:06,231
And I'll get him a towel.
So he can dry himself.
672
00:45:16,093 --> 00:45:17,967
Blimey, if that don't half
make my mouth water.
673
00:45:18,244 --> 00:45:21,154
Some nice, tasty grub and something
warm to chase it down the hatchway.
674
00:45:21,586 --> 00:45:22,690
That's what I need.
675
00:45:23,023 --> 00:45:25,422
Albert, tell me. Why have you come here?
676
00:45:26,169 --> 00:45:28,530
That can wait until I'm dry outside.
And not so dry, in.
677
00:45:28,779 --> 00:45:30,060
There you are, Albert.
678
00:45:30,552 --> 00:45:31,975
Thanks, me old cup of tea.
679
00:45:32,431 --> 00:45:34,816
Emily, slice off some beef,
and put out the bread and cheese.
680
00:45:35,830 --> 00:45:38,158
A pint of half-and-half would
be the proper ticket with that.
681
00:45:38,374 --> 00:45:39,680
This isn't a Tavern, Albert.
682
00:45:40,391 --> 00:45:43,061
How about a spot of brandy to
take the damp out of my throat?
683
00:45:43,426 --> 00:45:45,228
I'm unsure there's any
left in the decanter.
684
00:45:45,444 --> 00:45:46,717
There's some in the cellar.
685
00:45:47,395 --> 00:45:49,813
A cellar, eh? Your Ladyship,
allow me to lead you to it.
686
00:45:50,487 --> 00:45:52,705
No .. I'll go myself.
687
00:45:54,020 --> 00:45:55,499
Make way for the Duchess.
688
00:46:27,321 --> 00:46:29,640
Blimey. The view from here
is the best on the marshes.
689
00:46:30,542 --> 00:46:33,481
I say auntie, is this all yours?
- No, of course not.
690
00:46:34,251 --> 00:46:36,166
It belongs to the woman
I work for. Miss Fiske.
691
00:46:37,011 --> 00:46:39,510
Where is she, might I ask?
- Away.
692
00:46:41,683 --> 00:46:44,148
Five years, auntie old girl.
- What of it?
693
00:46:44,453 --> 00:46:46,646
You've changed.
- You've not.
694
00:46:47,504 --> 00:46:50,373
The same big blue eyes though.
You're still Lady touch-me-not.
695
00:46:50,847 --> 00:46:53,265
Let go of me. I'm in no
mood for your foolishness.
696
00:46:54,208 --> 00:46:55,739
The way you seem to be all keyed up.
697
00:46:55,999 --> 00:46:58,072
A little of my foolishness
just might do you no harm.
698
00:47:01,721 --> 00:47:02,961
Here's your food, Albert.
699
00:47:04,313 --> 00:47:07,205
Run up to bed, both of you.
I want to talk with Albert.
700
00:47:07,421 --> 00:47:10,580
But we don't want to go to bed.
- No, we want to stay to talk to Albert.
701
00:47:10,905 --> 00:47:13,857
Go on, do as aunt Ellen says. Toddle off
to bye-byes like good little girls.
702
00:47:14,125 --> 00:47:16,821
Here, wait. Why don't you wet your
whistles. It will make you sleep tight.
703
00:47:17,178 --> 00:47:19,055
Sleep tight. Albert, you are silly.
704
00:47:19,553 --> 00:47:22,004
I don't think they'd better, Albert.
- What's the harm?
705
00:47:22,483 --> 00:47:24,708
You don't have a long-lost
nephew every night of the week.
706
00:47:25,121 --> 00:47:26,369
Fetch some glasses, Emily.
707
00:47:26,585 --> 00:47:29,797
Very well, but not too much now.
- Just a tiny thimbleful for me, Albert.
708
00:47:31,252 --> 00:47:32,688
How about you, aunt Ellen?
709
00:47:33,327 --> 00:47:34,716
Nothing for me, thank you.
710
00:47:37,757 --> 00:47:40,199
Now, my Siamese twins.
What about a toast, eh?
711
00:47:40,523 --> 00:47:41,905
I don't know any.
712
00:47:42,140 --> 00:47:44,008
In that case, here's to absent friends.
713
00:47:44,328 --> 00:47:45,464
Absent friends.
714
00:47:46,046 --> 00:47:48,543
Ellen, I suppose we
should think of Miss Fiske.
715
00:48:01,321 --> 00:48:03,604
Who put out those candles?
- What candles?
716
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,445
Oh those.
- It must have been the wind.
717
00:48:10,055 --> 00:48:11,998
Goodnight, Albert.
- Goodnight my lady.
718
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,204
Goodnight, Albert.
- Goodnight.
719
00:48:21,642 --> 00:48:23,379
It wasn't the wind, Ellen.
720
00:48:38,904 --> 00:48:41,109
I say auntie, you've not
turned Roman have you?
721
00:48:41,466 --> 00:48:42,763
I do this for a friend.
722
00:48:48,243 --> 00:48:49,129
Now, Albert.
723
00:48:49,869 --> 00:48:52,134
Let's stop all this 'auntie' nonsense
and get down to cases.
724
00:48:52,862 --> 00:48:54,748
Why have you come here
and what do you want?
725
00:48:55,073 --> 00:48:56,918
Well auntie .. I mean, Ellen.
726
00:48:57,692 --> 00:49:02,208
To cut it fine, I'm taking a compulsory
holiday from my bank over in Gravesend.
727
00:49:02,602 --> 00:49:05,107
In other words, you've lost your job.
- I've given it up.
728
00:49:05,738 --> 00:49:07,522
You haven't done anything
wrong, have you?
729
00:49:09,237 --> 00:49:11,605
I sort-of helped myself to a
little salary I wasn't entitled to.
730
00:49:12,885 --> 00:49:14,393
You mean, you've stolen money.
731
00:49:16,415 --> 00:49:19,181
This is rattling good brandy.
- Answer me, Albert.
732
00:49:21,270 --> 00:49:23,848
You've got it.
- How much?
733
00:49:24,594 --> 00:49:27,402
A small matter of a hundred pounds.
- I'll see.
734
00:49:30,342 --> 00:49:33,271
I suppose you want me to give you the
hundred pounds so you can put it back?
735
00:49:33,515 --> 00:49:36,477
I'm afraid it's too late for that.
They found out, the police.
736
00:49:37,180 --> 00:49:38,164
The police?
737
00:49:38,389 --> 00:49:42,016
A friend passed me the tip they were
coming. So I .. I took French leave.
738
00:49:42,455 --> 00:49:44,956
But .. they'll follow you.
They'll come here.
739
00:49:46,079 --> 00:49:49,774
Don't worry .. no-one knows I've got
relations out here on the marshes.
740
00:49:51,122 --> 00:49:52,699
I'll be safe here for a lifetime.
741
00:49:53,159 --> 00:49:55,319
You're certainly not going
to stay here for a lifetime.
742
00:49:55,769 --> 00:49:57,815
Surely you don't mind me
staying for a while, do you?
743
00:49:58,340 --> 00:50:00,745
Until it all blows over.
- Then what do you propose to do?
744
00:50:01,094 --> 00:50:03,725
Clear out of the country.
America, Australia. Any old where.
745
00:50:04,230 --> 00:50:06,552
I'm .. counting on you to help me.
746
00:50:06,868 --> 00:50:08,188
I need money for my passage.
747
00:50:08,631 --> 00:50:09,630
I'm .. I'm stony.
748
00:50:11,353 --> 00:50:13,246
It won't cost much. Steerage.
749
00:50:13,691 --> 00:50:15,882
I don't see why I should concern
myself with your affairs.
750
00:50:16,414 --> 00:50:17,870
I'll land in prison if you don't.
751
00:50:19,541 --> 00:50:22,420
You're not the sort to turn anybody down
who's in trouble and needed your help.
752
00:50:23,210 --> 00:50:24,969
You wouldn't fail your
own flesh and blood.
753
00:50:25,185 --> 00:50:27,020
I'm no flesh and blood of yours, Albert.
754
00:50:27,468 --> 00:50:29,199
Won't you give me a
chance to start again?
755
00:50:29,415 --> 00:50:30,734
I promise. Cross my heart.
756
00:50:31,090 --> 00:50:33,457
I'll never do anything wrong
again for the rest of my natural.
757
00:50:33,673 --> 00:50:35,143
Let me go.
758
00:50:41,301 --> 00:50:44,030
Very well. I'll do it.
- Bless you, Ellen.
759
00:50:44,415 --> 00:50:46,973
You're a daisy, you are.
- We'll talk about it in the morning.
760
00:50:47,820 --> 00:50:50,180
You can sleep on the sofa tonight.
- I don't mind where I sleep.
761
00:50:50,396 --> 00:50:51,419
But mind you ..
762
00:50:51,635 --> 00:50:54,218
You can only stay until I've
arranged your passage on the boat.
763
00:50:54,434 --> 00:50:57,466
Anything you say,
Ellen old girl .. what's that?
764
00:50:57,983 --> 00:50:59,945
That's just the maid.
She's been out on an errand.
765
00:51:01,006 --> 00:51:02,550
Lucy.
- Yes, Miss?
766
00:51:04,518 --> 00:51:06,220
They'll be a gentleman
staying the night.
767
00:51:06,639 --> 00:51:07,819
A gentleman staying?
768
00:51:08,099 --> 00:51:09,776
A relation. He'll sleep in here.
769
00:51:10,033 --> 00:51:12,679
Now go to your room and change your
wet clothes before you start sneezing.
770
00:51:12,895 --> 00:51:15,090
Yes, Miss .. goodnight.
- Goodnight.
771
00:51:15,306 --> 00:51:16,096
Goodnight.
772
00:51:16,620 --> 00:51:17,557
'Lucy', is it?
773
00:51:19,035 --> 00:51:20,472
Yes .. Lucy.
774
00:51:23,706 --> 00:51:25,687
I fancy that's all for
tonight, aunt Ellen.
775
00:51:26,138 --> 00:51:29,180
I'll just have a weed before
I turn in. The last of the day.
776
00:51:30,306 --> 00:51:32,729
You seem to be taking this
all very lightly, Albert.
777
00:51:33,490 --> 00:51:35,166
You have told me the worst, haven't you?
778
00:51:35,601 --> 00:51:38,110
I mean, there isn't anything else?
- What else?
779
00:51:40,653 --> 00:51:42,212
There are worse things than stealing.
780
00:51:42,987 --> 00:51:43,994
For instance?
781
00:51:45,828 --> 00:51:47,359
No, there's no blood on my hands.
782
00:51:47,743 --> 00:51:49,703
Putting people out calls
for <i>real </i>nerve, you know.
783
00:51:54,270 --> 00:51:55,303
Yes.
784
00:51:59,547 --> 00:52:01,321
Goodnight, Albert.
- Nighty night.
785
00:53:12,967 --> 00:53:15,145
Did you enjoy the sermon, Mr Bates?
786
00:53:15,603 --> 00:53:16,818
Mighty powerful, Miss.
787
00:53:17,293 --> 00:53:18,797
Yes. It was, wasn't it.
788
00:53:20,284 --> 00:53:22,109
But there was a lot I didn't understand.
789
00:53:23,490 --> 00:53:24,866
The part that went ..
790
00:53:25,639 --> 00:53:26,568
How was it?
791
00:53:27,496 --> 00:53:29,004
The wicked flee.
792
00:53:30,087 --> 00:53:32,717
When no man .. pursueth.
793
00:53:34,739 --> 00:53:36,575
But .. but ..
794
00:53:38,561 --> 00:53:41,233
The righteous are as bold as a lion.
795
00:54:08,319 --> 00:54:09,297
Well.
796
00:54:10,743 --> 00:54:12,479
What do you think you're doing?
797
00:54:13,690 --> 00:54:16,840
I fooled around with this padlock
last night and it .. came off.
798
00:54:17,592 --> 00:54:18,689
You shouldn't have.
799
00:54:19,344 --> 00:54:21,297
That's where Miss Fiske
keeps her valuables.
800
00:54:21,551 --> 00:54:23,794
How does she get at them?
With a pickaxe? Look.
801
00:54:25,898 --> 00:54:28,667
Well I never. All bricked up.
802
00:54:29,531 --> 00:54:31,248
I wonder why that was done.
803
00:54:31,530 --> 00:54:33,342
It wasn't that way the
last time I was here.
804
00:54:33,821 --> 00:54:35,868
So you've had your nose
in there before, have you?
805
00:54:36,948 --> 00:54:39,174
Funny what nasty thoughts
people have sometimes, isn't it.
806
00:54:39,390 --> 00:54:41,597
Funny how they're right
sometimes, isn't it.
807
00:54:59,037 --> 00:55:01,443
I wonder why anyone would want
to brick up a place like that?
808
00:55:02,492 --> 00:55:05,171
Maybe Miss Fiske put her jewels
in there before she went away.
809
00:55:05,807 --> 00:55:08,881
You know .. she's not one to take
any chances leaving them about.
810
00:55:09,234 --> 00:55:10,530
Even with your aunt Ellen.
811
00:55:12,817 --> 00:55:15,523
If there are any sparkles in there,
I wouldn't mind having a peep at them.
812
00:55:15,748 --> 00:55:18,262
I'm sure you wouldn't.
- And neither would you, I dare say.
813
00:55:19,833 --> 00:55:24,037
In fact .. I'm sure you'd like the feel
of some around your swan-like neck.
814
00:55:26,610 --> 00:55:28,629
A pretty pink ear like
that calls for diamonds.
815
00:55:29,014 --> 00:55:31,473
A wandering hand like yours
calls for a slap in the face.
816
00:55:31,821 --> 00:55:33,675
It's wicked to slap a
man's face on a Sunday.
817
00:55:33,981 --> 00:55:35,745
The better the day, the better the deed.
818
00:55:36,179 --> 00:55:37,595
That leaves my conscience clear.
819
00:55:42,243 --> 00:55:43,680
I'll scream.
820
00:55:45,098 --> 00:55:46,140
What's that?
821
00:55:52,703 --> 00:55:55,550
What do you think I'm made of?
- Sugar and spice.
822
00:55:56,874 --> 00:55:58,131
And everything nice.
823
00:56:01,849 --> 00:56:03,164
Blimey, you're strong.
824
00:56:06,001 --> 00:56:07,586
It's a wig. Whose is it?
825
00:56:08,854 --> 00:56:10,150
It is Miss Fiske's.
826
00:56:10,705 --> 00:56:12,391
Oh, it's her best one.
827
00:56:13,295 --> 00:56:15,239
She's as bald as a coot.
- Ah.
828
00:56:15,455 --> 00:56:17,042
A wonder she didn't take it with her.
829
00:56:18,291 --> 00:56:19,267
Hello.
830
00:56:19,605 --> 00:56:22,290
Ah, she left a lot of
her fancy dresses too.
831
00:56:23,063 --> 00:56:24,930
Perhaps she'll buy some
new ones up in London?
832
00:56:25,392 --> 00:56:26,938
These are new. Most of them.
833
00:56:27,918 --> 00:56:30,059
You'd better put that back up.
- Alright.
834
00:56:30,285 --> 00:56:31,783
Get up on this chair.
835
00:56:39,798 --> 00:56:41,554
You know, it <i>is</i> odd
she only took one wig.
836
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:45,357
On a trip, anything might happen.
A fire or a gust of wind.
837
00:56:45,751 --> 00:56:46,409
Oh.
838
00:56:47,720 --> 00:56:49,195
Here's Emily coming up the path.
839
00:56:50,109 --> 00:56:51,329
You'd better be off.
840
00:56:57,184 --> 00:56:58,794
Hello my old cup of tea.
841
00:57:00,310 --> 00:57:02,634
What are you doing with those
bull-rushes? Looking for Moses?
842
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,371
You're making fun of me .. naughty boy.
843
00:57:28,649 --> 00:57:31,405
Hello Ducky .. I'm glad you're
back before the others.
844
00:57:31,964 --> 00:57:34,668
It isn't often I have the chance of
a tête-à-tête with the family's fairest.
845
00:57:34,884 --> 00:57:36,672
You're never serious
about anything, Albert.
846
00:57:36,888 --> 00:57:38,846
I was never more serious in my life.
847
00:57:40,212 --> 00:57:42,518
The storm did an enormous
amount of damage.
848
00:57:42,869 --> 00:57:45,494
Roads into Rochester and Gravesend
were completely flooded.
849
00:57:46,258 --> 00:57:48,836
The Postman told me.
- I hope they stay that way.
850
00:57:50,098 --> 00:57:51,558
Allow me, Empress.
851
00:57:52,362 --> 00:57:54,681
There's only one letter today.
It's for Miss Fiske.
852
00:57:55,047 --> 00:57:55,755
Is it?
853
00:58:01,577 --> 00:58:03,226
It's a cosy nest you got here.
854
00:58:03,605 --> 00:58:05,661
What's will happen to you
when Miss Fiske gets back?
855
00:58:05,896 --> 00:58:07,596
Will she let you stay on, do you think?
856
00:58:11,455 --> 00:58:12,701
She isn't coming back.
857
00:58:13,532 --> 00:58:14,548
Why not?
858
00:58:15,342 --> 00:58:16,575
Ellen's bought the house.
859
00:58:19,252 --> 00:58:19,924
Go on.
860
00:58:20,140 --> 00:58:21,241
Yes. It's quite true.
861
00:58:22,049 --> 00:58:23,150
It's a secret though.
862
00:58:23,366 --> 00:58:26,001
Ellen made us swear on the bible
that we wouldn't tell anyone.
863
00:58:26,218 --> 00:58:28,300
But you are one of the family.
So it's alright.
864
00:58:29,873 --> 00:58:31,661
Why should she want
to keep it a secret, eh?
865
00:58:31,877 --> 00:58:33,636
I don't know.
It was done in a great hurry.
866
00:58:33,873 --> 00:58:35,534
Louisa and I were sent off to Rochester.
867
00:58:35,750 --> 00:58:38,669
Then when we came back that night,
Miss Fiske was gone and it was all over.
868
00:58:40,902 --> 00:58:42,862
You won't tell Ellen I told
you, will you, Albert?
869
00:58:43,234 --> 00:58:43,975
No.
870
00:58:45,212 --> 00:58:47,000
We'll make that our
little secret, shall we?
871
00:58:47,335 --> 00:58:48,064
Alright.
872
00:58:50,086 --> 00:58:52,513
It will be rather fun.
Having a secret from Ellen.
873
00:58:53,143 --> 00:58:55,628
She thinks she's the clever one.
But she isn't.
874
00:58:57,109 --> 00:58:57,924
Not always.
875
00:58:59,816 --> 00:59:00,402
No.
876
00:59:01,225 --> 00:59:02,040
Not always.
877
00:59:17,517 --> 00:59:19,294
Albert.
- What?
878
00:59:25,153 --> 00:59:26,418
Good morning.
879
00:59:28,974 --> 00:59:30,034
May we come in?
880
00:59:30,250 --> 00:59:32,261
Who's that?
- A couple of nuns from The Priory.
881
00:59:33,048 --> 00:59:36,099
You talk to them, Albert.
I've got to tidy up the orchard.
882
00:59:47,032 --> 00:59:51,087
Oh .. I didn't know there was
a young man staying here.
883
00:59:51,632 --> 00:59:52,844
Is Miss Ellen about?
884
00:59:53,060 --> 00:59:55,956
Sorry. She's gone over to the church at
Cawley. I'm her nephew, can I help?
885
00:59:56,487 --> 01:00:00,357
We came to return this. She lent us
a little oil last night. We ran short.
886
01:00:00,792 --> 01:00:02,060
Thanks.
- Yes, and this.
887
01:00:02,634 --> 01:00:04,846
The rent for the little field.
Your aunt will understand.
888
01:00:05,106 --> 01:00:06,179
I'll give it to her.
889
01:00:06,395 --> 01:00:08,788
We are so looking forward
to Miss Fiske's return.
890
01:00:09,371 --> 01:00:10,864
She's a dear friend of ours.
891
01:00:11,239 --> 01:00:14,646
Oh .. have you .. heard from her lately?
892
01:00:15,031 --> 01:00:16,218
No, not a word.
893
01:00:16,752 --> 01:00:19,335
I think the Reverend Mother is
a trifle hurt she hasn't written.
894
01:00:19,678 --> 01:00:22,281
In fact, she didn't even tell
us she was going away.
895
01:00:22,777 --> 01:00:25,295
Not very chummy, was it.
- No, it wasn't.
896
01:00:26,837 --> 01:00:28,232
Good morning.
- Good morning.
897
01:01:05,242 --> 01:01:07,671
Now what are you up to?
- Fetch me a knife, Ducky.
898
01:01:15,499 --> 01:01:17,170
What's that?
- A letter for Miss Fiske.
899
01:01:17,511 --> 01:01:19,943
You're not going to open it?
- No. Wouldn't think of it.
900
01:01:24,242 --> 01:01:25,431
What's it say?
901
01:01:26,201 --> 01:01:28,502
'Dear Madam.
Regarding your instructions ..'
902
01:01:28,718 --> 01:01:31,591
'To forward the amount of the
enclosed cheque in 5-pound notes'.
903
01:01:32,239 --> 01:01:36,889
'Your signature appears to differ from
that with which we are acquainted'.
904
01:01:38,793 --> 01:01:41,444
'We should be obliged if you
could kindly confirm same ..'
905
01:01:41,845 --> 01:01:44,354
'By signing it afresh.
In your usual manner'.
906
01:01:48,582 --> 01:01:49,634
Fifty pounds.
907
01:01:50,633 --> 01:01:51,591
Notice the date.
908
01:01:52,218 --> 01:01:53,703
'October 14th'.
909
01:01:54,794 --> 01:01:57,258
That's three days ago.
She's been gone longer than that.
910
01:01:57,803 --> 01:01:59,484
Since the beginning of September.
911
01:02:00,292 --> 01:02:02,329
She probably made it
out from wherever she is.
912
01:02:02,949 --> 01:02:04,986
Yes, she could have. Hey, wait a minute.
913
01:02:06,442 --> 01:02:08,765
In that case, why did they
send the reply to her here?
914
01:02:10,183 --> 01:02:11,666
You see who it's made payable to?
915
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:14,680
Ellen Creed.
916
01:02:15,506 --> 01:02:17,785
What of it? I expect it's
the housekeeping money.
917
01:02:18,380 --> 01:02:21,488
Maybe. Where's the glue-pot?
- Over there.
918
01:02:21,704 --> 01:02:23,015
Get it for me.
919
01:02:28,096 --> 01:02:30,146
Dip your finger in it.
- I should say not.
920
01:02:30,516 --> 01:02:31,817
I've had no hand in this.
921
01:02:33,119 --> 01:02:33,963
Haven't you?
922
01:02:35,383 --> 01:02:37,379
You are a filthy pig.
- Go on. Seal it up.
923
01:02:38,971 --> 01:02:39,930
Go on.
924
01:02:44,402 --> 01:02:46,276
Don't forget.
You're in this as deep as me now.
925
01:02:46,550 --> 01:02:48,124
I wish you'd never come here.
926
01:02:48,888 --> 01:02:51,488
I don't know what comes over
me when you're around.
927
01:02:52,752 --> 01:02:54,483
You won't give me away
to Ellen, will you?
928
01:02:54,699 --> 01:02:56,230
I won't if you keep your mouth shut.
929
01:03:03,357 --> 01:03:06,241
Here come the performing seals.
Not a word, mind you.
930
01:03:17,604 --> 01:03:18,397
Albert.
931
01:03:18,622 --> 01:03:20,252
Hello, aunts .. had a nice pray?
932
01:03:20,492 --> 01:03:22,114
You should have been at church, Albert.
933
01:03:22,576 --> 01:03:24,609
The minister told us all about Hell.
934
01:03:25,016 --> 01:03:27,336
You'd have enjoyed the
bit about the lost souls ..
935
01:03:27,682 --> 01:03:29,251
Sizzling in the bottomless pit.
936
01:03:29,554 --> 01:03:31,970
Would I now? Sounds frightening.
937
01:03:32,540 --> 01:03:34,859
Ellen .. where is Hell?
938
01:03:37,451 --> 01:03:39,443
Hell is like the Kingdom of Heaven.
939
01:03:41,672 --> 01:03:42,552
It is within.
940
01:03:43,037 --> 01:03:43,995
That reminds me.
941
01:03:44,310 --> 01:03:45,926
One of your religious friends was here.
942
01:03:46,258 --> 01:03:49,076
She left you this.
It's the rent for some field or other.
943
01:03:50,580 --> 01:03:52,568
She didn't see you, did she?
- I couldn't avoid it.
944
01:03:52,784 --> 01:03:54,258
That was Sister Theresa.
945
01:03:55,171 --> 01:03:59,138
She's Miss Fiske's friend. She doesn't
like us any more than Miss Fiske did.
946
01:03:59,974 --> 01:04:01,311
Didn't Miss Fiske like you?
947
01:04:01,981 --> 01:04:03,098
She was horrid to us.
948
01:04:03,344 --> 01:04:05,103
Louisa, run upstairs
and change your dress.
949
01:04:05,417 --> 01:04:07,148
You can't sit around
in your best all day.
950
01:04:07,445 --> 01:04:08,575
No. I shan't, shall I.
951
01:04:09,221 --> 01:04:10,348
No. Of course not.
952
01:04:12,538 --> 01:04:13,819
Albert.
- Huh?
953
01:04:14,096 --> 01:04:16,776
I don't want you to mention Miss Fiske
again in front of my sisters.
954
01:04:17,336 --> 01:04:18,819
They quarrelled with her.
955
01:04:19,382 --> 01:04:21,392
And it upsets them very
much to talk about her.
956
01:04:22,012 --> 01:04:23,364
Sorry. Nobody told me.
957
01:04:24,555 --> 01:04:26,055
What did you quarrel about?
958
01:04:26,666 --> 01:04:28,328
I didn't say I quarrelled with her.
959
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,220
Would she by any chance be the friend
you lit those candles for last night?
960
01:04:37,276 --> 01:04:38,187
Yes.
961
01:04:39,145 --> 01:04:40,469
When did she die?
962
01:04:42,779 --> 01:04:43,699
Die?
963
01:04:44,779 --> 01:04:46,516
Who said anything about her being dead?
964
01:04:47,042 --> 01:04:50,858
I just assumed she was.
You don't light candles for the living.
965
01:04:51,493 --> 01:04:53,352
Do you?
- I don't know.
966
01:04:54,178 --> 01:04:55,831
I just thought they stood for prayer.
967
01:04:56,685 --> 01:04:58,451
I must find Emily.
- By the way.
968
01:04:58,779 --> 01:05:00,614
The postman gave her
a letter for Miss Fiske.
969
01:05:00,911 --> 01:05:02,450
From her bank, I believe.
970
01:05:03,202 --> 01:05:04,375
Give it to me.
971
01:05:14,895 --> 01:05:16,951
I'm managing all her
affairs while she's away.
972
01:05:29,109 --> 01:05:31,579
Anything important?
- Yes, rather.
973
01:05:32,625 --> 01:05:34,512
I must get an answer
in the post immediately.
974
01:05:39,075 --> 01:05:40,763
A stylish looking piano you've got here.
975
01:05:41,029 --> 01:05:43,016
Don't distract me, Albert.
I must concentrate.
976
01:05:43,301 --> 01:05:45,026
I'm sorry. Don't mind me, auntie.
977
01:05:59,907 --> 01:06:01,335
I say, you are up to date.
978
01:06:02,020 --> 01:06:04,648
I didn't expect to find a copy of
The Mikado way out here on the marshes.
979
01:06:10,467 --> 01:06:12,747
[ Whistling song: Tit-Willow ]
980
01:06:20,224 --> 01:06:21,491
Don't do that.
981
01:06:22,064 --> 01:06:24,252
I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to distract you.
982
01:06:25,378 --> 01:06:27,960
It's just I happen to dislike that
particular tune. That's all.
983
01:06:28,261 --> 01:06:29,932
It's a bit on the morbid side.
984
01:06:35,775 --> 01:06:37,740
Miss Ellen, how soon
will you want dinner?
985
01:06:38,044 --> 01:06:39,402
In a quarter of an hour, Lucy.
986
01:06:39,624 --> 01:06:41,383
I'll just post this
letter at the crossing.
987
01:06:41,801 --> 01:06:42,788
Let me go, Ellen.
988
01:06:43,019 --> 01:06:44,372
I can do with a sniff of air.
989
01:06:44,588 --> 01:06:46,710
No thank you.
I prefer to attend to this myself.
990
01:07:20,938 --> 01:07:22,723
What are you up to now?
991
01:07:23,124 --> 01:07:24,998
She just wrote a reply to
the letter we opened.
992
01:07:25,426 --> 01:07:27,560
I thought it would be interesting
to see what she says.
993
01:07:28,703 --> 01:07:29,518
'Dear sir'.
994
01:07:30,198 --> 01:07:30,956
'Cheque'.
995
01:07:31,301 --> 01:07:32,168
Something.
996
01:07:32,562 --> 01:07:33,406
'Incorrect'.
997
01:07:34,231 --> 01:07:35,018
Something.
998
01:07:35,529 --> 01:07:36,258
'Owing'.
999
01:07:36,987 --> 01:07:38,671
Something, something.
1000
01:07:39,444 --> 01:07:40,350
'Wrist'.
1001
01:07:41,875 --> 01:07:43,870
What does that word
look like to you? See.
1002
01:07:44,636 --> 01:07:47,233
'S .. p .. r ..'
1003
01:07:47,779 --> 01:07:48,718
S .. p .. r.
1004
01:07:49,226 --> 01:07:50,685
'Sprained'. That's it.
1005
01:07:51,092 --> 01:07:52,394
'Owing to a sprained wrist'.
1006
01:07:53,878 --> 01:07:54,922
Something. 'Yours'.
1007
01:07:55,374 --> 01:07:56,225
'Leonora'.
1008
01:07:57,357 --> 01:07:58,758
'Leonora Fiske'.
1009
01:08:01,625 --> 01:08:03,040
She signed it 'Leonora Fiske'.
1010
01:08:03,525 --> 01:08:04,684
What's it mean, Albert?
1011
01:08:05,493 --> 01:08:06,665
What do you think?
1012
01:08:07,266 --> 01:08:09,506
It looks as if she's pretending
to be Miss Fiske.
1013
01:08:10,308 --> 01:08:12,239
Getting money on the strength of it.
- Brilliant.
1014
01:08:12,455 --> 01:08:13,845
If that's true, she's a thief.
1015
01:08:14,342 --> 01:08:15,535
Like you.
- Shut up.
1016
01:08:18,319 --> 01:08:20,417
What will happen when
Miss Fiske comes back?
1017
01:08:23,624 --> 01:08:25,061
Suppose she isn't coming back?
1018
01:08:26,187 --> 01:08:29,149
Suppose she's died somewhere.
And Ellen is the only one who knows.
1019
01:08:29,485 --> 01:08:31,229
You can't die and only
one person know it.
1020
01:08:31,445 --> 01:08:32,744
Can't you? I'm not so sure.
1021
01:08:34,460 --> 01:08:35,600
One thing I do know.
1022
01:08:35,906 --> 01:08:38,896
She'd never risk it unless she knew
Miss Fiske was out of the way for good.
1023
01:08:39,955 --> 01:08:43,091
Alright .. assume she's dead.
Aunt Ellen is having the funds.
1024
01:08:43,645 --> 01:08:45,721
It might be years before
anybody would find out.
1025
01:08:48,011 --> 01:08:49,815
Why should she reap all the benefit?
1026
01:08:55,455 --> 01:08:57,100
There may be some pickings in it for us.
1027
01:08:57,481 --> 01:08:59,841
Would you like to see a bit of the
world? Have some fun with me?
1028
01:09:00,057 --> 01:09:01,907
You'd tempt Old Nick
himself, wouldn't you?
1029
01:09:02,123 --> 01:09:03,540
You've got to help me get proof.
1030
01:09:03,775 --> 01:09:05,763
I don't want to do anything
mean or underhanded.
1031
01:09:06,113 --> 01:09:09,069
Would I ask you to? Use your eyes
and keep your ears open. That's all.
1032
01:09:09,863 --> 01:09:10,821
What do you say?
1033
01:09:11,696 --> 01:09:12,720
I don't know.
1034
01:09:12,936 --> 01:09:14,752
Perhaps this will help
you make up your mind.
1035
01:09:20,189 --> 01:09:22,321
Well?
- I'll help you, Albert.
1036
01:09:23,541 --> 01:09:25,685
Here she comes. Look sharp now.
Back to the kitchen.
1037
01:10:47,655 --> 01:10:48,984
She's coming.
1038
01:10:49,341 --> 01:10:51,214
Blimey. You almost made
me frightened myself.
1039
01:10:51,698 --> 01:10:53,567
Hurry up, hurry up.
- Alright. Shut up.
1040
01:10:57,097 --> 01:10:59,119
Hey, go in the kitchen
and make some tea.
1041
01:11:00,769 --> 01:11:03,053
Take this with you. Go on, hurry.
1042
01:11:08,868 --> 01:11:10,408
Goodnight, Bates.
- Night, ma'am.
1043
01:11:10,665 --> 01:11:12,424
Don't forget.
Ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
1044
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:13,710
Very good, ma'am.
1045
01:11:24,420 --> 01:11:25,960
Did you have a successful trip?
1046
01:11:29,358 --> 01:11:30,324
Yes.
1047
01:11:31,452 --> 01:11:32,615
I have your ticket.
1048
01:11:33,462 --> 01:11:35,112
You leave tomorrow.
1049
01:11:36,730 --> 01:11:37,873
Do I?
1050
01:11:38,909 --> 01:11:41,037
Where are my sisters?
- I sent them off to bed.
1051
01:11:41,594 --> 01:11:44,567
They were getting a little out of hand.
- I dare say it wasn't their fault.
1052
01:11:45,180 --> 01:11:46,694
Lucy is making some hot tea.
1053
01:11:47,190 --> 01:11:48,628
We thought you might be cold.
1054
01:11:49,171 --> 01:11:51,500
I'll be down again .. as soon as
I've said goodnight to them.
1055
01:12:05,306 --> 01:12:06,436
Is everything alright?
1056
01:12:06,652 --> 01:12:09,253
No it's not. She's packing me off
tomorrow. We've got to move fast.
1057
01:12:10,013 --> 01:12:14,109
You haven't changed your mind, have you?
- I couldn't refuse you anything .. now.
1058
01:12:17,711 --> 01:12:20,732
We thought you'd never come,
Ellen .. I was frightened.
1059
01:12:21,412 --> 01:12:22,227
Frightened?
1060
01:12:22,443 --> 01:12:24,128
Yes, they were such funny noises.
1061
01:12:24,896 --> 01:12:26,049
It was only the rats.
1062
01:12:27,710 --> 01:12:29,343
What have you been doing all evening?
1063
01:12:29,794 --> 01:12:33,166
We played a game of cribbage.
Of course, Albert cheated.
1064
01:12:33,475 --> 01:12:35,420
But it was rather fun
watching him cheat.
1065
01:12:36,156 --> 01:12:38,001
He hasn't said anything
about Miss Fiske?
1066
01:12:38,432 --> 01:12:39,681
No.
- Miss Fiske?
1067
01:12:41,073 --> 01:12:41,974
Why should he?
1068
01:12:42,322 --> 01:12:44,819
And neither of you spoke to him
about my buying the house?
1069
01:12:45,173 --> 01:12:46,021
No, Ellen.
1070
01:12:46,441 --> 01:12:47,399
Do you remember?
1071
01:12:47,678 --> 01:12:49,855
You made us swear on
the bible we wouldn't.
1072
01:12:53,352 --> 01:12:55,327
I think you'd better go to
sleep now, both of you.
1073
01:12:55,778 --> 01:12:58,491
I'm going downstairs to have a
hot cup of tea before I go to bed.
1074
01:13:11,633 --> 01:13:14,151
Albert, do you think ..?
- Pour the tea, Lucy.
1075
01:13:21,955 --> 01:13:24,408
Thank you Lucy. You may go to bed now.
- Yes, Miss Ellen.
1076
01:13:24,946 --> 01:13:26,345
Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
1077
01:13:36,366 --> 01:13:37,639
Auntie, where is your cane?
1078
01:13:38,312 --> 01:13:40,981
You look like you'd like to take down
my breeches and give me a dozen.
1079
01:13:42,223 --> 01:13:45,038
There's a boat sailing for Canada
on Friday. You sail with it.
1080
01:13:46,295 --> 01:13:47,826
I'm not sure I want to go to Canada.
1081
01:13:48,849 --> 01:13:49,693
Yet a while.
1082
01:13:50,173 --> 01:13:51,779
You haven't much choice, have you?
1083
01:13:52,201 --> 01:13:54,201
I don't know. I'm getting
quite fond of this place.
1084
01:13:54,463 --> 01:13:57,278
The air suits me .. I'm very
happy here for the time being.
1085
01:13:57,793 --> 01:13:59,765
I'm not happy having you here.
- Why?
1086
01:14:01,027 --> 01:14:03,956
It isn't safe since Sister Theresa
knows you're staying here with us.
1087
01:14:04,613 --> 01:14:07,129
The wrong sort of talk would bring
the police around here in no time.
1088
01:14:07,692 --> 01:14:09,826
I don't propose to risk a
scandal on your account.
1089
01:14:10,979 --> 01:14:12,484
There's more to it than that.
1090
01:14:13,552 --> 01:14:14,914
Lucy is apt to talk.
1091
01:14:15,787 --> 01:14:17,383
I don't think we need worry about her.
1092
01:14:18,557 --> 01:14:20,578
No. You've made sure of that.
1093
01:14:21,269 --> 01:14:24,026
Whatever do you mean by that?
- You know what, you cheap little ..
1094
01:14:24,454 --> 01:14:26,419
Stop it Ellen.
You'll make me lose my temper.
1095
01:14:26,784 --> 01:14:27,717
Your temper?
1096
01:14:27,975 --> 01:14:30,803
You leave first thing in the morning.
That's the end of you and your temper.
1097
01:14:31,019 --> 01:14:32,487
I shouldn't try to bluff me.
1098
01:14:32,885 --> 01:14:36,020
I'm not bluffing you. I order you.
- If I don't choose to be ordered?
1099
01:14:36,755 --> 01:14:39,395
I can't throw you out physically.
But I can send for the police.
1100
01:14:39,611 --> 01:14:40,765
And have your scandal?
1101
01:14:41,425 --> 01:14:43,625
Really, you're being very
inconsistent now, auntie dear.
1102
01:14:47,747 --> 01:14:49,119
You won't send for the police.
1103
01:14:50,349 --> 01:14:51,841
Why are you so sure?
1104
01:14:52,573 --> 01:14:53,992
Because you've another reason.
1105
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:56,914
A more important reason for
not wanting the police here.
1106
01:14:57,546 --> 01:14:59,799
For wanting me out of this
house as quickly as possible.
1107
01:15:01,265 --> 01:15:02,936
As a matter of fact, you are right.
1108
01:15:03,339 --> 01:15:04,889
Now we get down to brass tacks.
1109
01:15:09,192 --> 01:15:11,134
Did it concern Miss Fiske by any chance?
1110
01:15:12,843 --> 01:15:14,271
It would and it does.
1111
01:15:15,303 --> 01:15:18,769
I met her in town today.
She's coming back.
1112
01:15:21,002 --> 01:15:24,068
She's coming back?
- And why shouldn't she?
1113
01:15:25,444 --> 01:15:27,138
I thought she'd gone for good.
1114
01:15:27,641 --> 01:15:29,345
How utterly absurd of you, Albert.
1115
01:15:29,950 --> 01:15:32,232
There has never been any
question of her not coming back.
1116
01:15:33,753 --> 01:15:35,532
Why didn't you say
so in the first place?
1117
01:15:35,748 --> 01:15:37,942
You played the fool so much
with Louisa and Emily.
1118
01:15:39,190 --> 01:15:40,693
I was afraid you'd blurt it out.
1119
01:15:42,481 --> 01:15:44,355
As it is, I'll have to
break it to them gently.
1120
01:15:44,571 --> 01:15:46,477
Because it means
they will have to go too.
1121
01:15:51,855 --> 01:15:53,989
My little country holiday has
obviously come to an end.
1122
01:15:54,843 --> 01:15:56,734
I don't know what the
blazes I'll do in Canada.
1123
01:15:56,950 --> 01:15:59,119
I suppose one can starve there
as well as anywhere else.
1124
01:15:59,677 --> 01:16:00,790
You'll get on.
1125
01:16:01,757 --> 01:16:03,762
I'll give you a little
something to start off with.
1126
01:16:04,659 --> 01:16:05,908
For your mother's sake.
1127
01:16:06,405 --> 01:16:08,376
I suppose I should extend
my most humble thanks.
1128
01:16:08,668 --> 01:16:10,540
No. That from you would be too much.
1129
01:16:11,034 --> 01:16:13,664
If that's all we have to say to each
other, I may as well get up to bed.
1130
01:16:32,163 --> 01:16:34,237
A good night's sleep wouldn't
do you any harm, either.
1131
01:16:35,093 --> 01:16:36,483
You look a bit played out.
1132
01:16:42,139 --> 01:16:43,698
I must lock up first.
1133
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,157
Will I be seeing you in the
morning before I leave?
1134
01:16:49,557 --> 01:16:50,486
Yes.
1135
01:16:59,735 --> 01:17:01,070
I forgot to tell you, auntie.
1136
01:17:02,138 --> 01:17:03,848
I had a funny dream last night.
1137
01:17:05,052 --> 01:17:05,796
Did you?
1138
01:17:08,636 --> 01:17:10,288
I dreamt Miss Fiske was dead.
1139
01:17:17,761 --> 01:17:20,112
Goodnight, auntie.
- Goodnight, Albert.
1140
01:18:52,767 --> 01:18:54,268
Miss Fiske ..
1141
01:19:06,554 --> 01:19:07,625
Albert.
1142
01:19:08,620 --> 01:19:09,497
Albert!
1143
01:19:48,544 --> 01:19:49,617
Good morning, Bates.
1144
01:19:49,833 --> 01:19:52,997
Miss Creed ordered me. It's about the
train, but she didn't say which one.
1145
01:19:53,823 --> 01:19:54,626
Bates.
1146
01:19:55,260 --> 01:19:56,975
Cancel it. Miss Creed's
not feeling well.
1147
01:19:57,382 --> 01:19:59,134
Nothing serious I hope, sir?
1148
01:19:59,716 --> 01:20:00,845
No. Nothing serious.
1149
01:20:01,576 --> 01:20:03,714
In that case, I'd better hop along.
1150
01:20:11,215 --> 01:20:13,479
She did look ill when I
took in her early tea.
1151
01:20:13,844 --> 01:20:15,160
I wish we hadn't done it.
1152
01:20:15,376 --> 01:20:17,754
Pull yourself together.
You'll ruin everything. Go on upstairs.
1153
01:20:18,116 --> 01:20:20,071
She might have died.
- Shut up.
1154
01:20:22,419 --> 01:20:24,304
Well she didn't. And we
proved what we wanted.
1155
01:20:24,605 --> 01:20:27,046
Miss Fiske is dead and she knows it.
- I wonder when she died.
1156
01:20:27,262 --> 01:20:30,193
One more go, and I'll tell you when
and how, she died. Now, go on upstairs.
1157
01:20:32,234 --> 01:20:33,778
What did Bates want, Albert?
1158
01:20:34,469 --> 01:20:37,339
He brought the news from the outside
world. It will tickle you to death.
1159
01:20:37,669 --> 01:20:39,500
Wigs and whiskers are
coming back in again.
1160
01:20:39,795 --> 01:20:41,748
I don't think this is a
time for joking, Albert.
1161
01:20:42,024 --> 01:20:43,268
With Ellen the way she is.
1162
01:20:43,484 --> 01:20:45,673
You take this thing too seriously,
my old brussels sprout.
1163
01:20:45,906 --> 01:20:48,296
She was walking in her sleep
and had a nightmare. That's all.
1164
01:20:48,857 --> 01:20:50,738
It wasn't a nightmare, Albert.
1165
01:20:52,979 --> 01:20:56,425
Oh .. what was it then?
- She says she saw a ghost.
1166
01:20:58,326 --> 01:21:00,241
In that case, lay another
place for breakfast.
1167
01:21:01,837 --> 01:21:04,083
Do you really think
it was a ghost, Emily?
1168
01:21:04,814 --> 01:21:08,147
If it were only a nightmare,
we wouldn't have heard it too.
1169
01:21:09,095 --> 01:21:12,379
Heard what?
- The music. Miss Fiske's music.
1170
01:21:13,216 --> 01:21:14,174
You know, Emily.
1171
01:21:14,512 --> 01:21:16,786
I'm sometimes afraid Miss Fiske
will get the better of Ellen.
1172
01:21:17,358 --> 01:21:20,210
I sometimes think she wants
to come back and turn us out.
1173
01:21:20,570 --> 01:21:23,299
I think Miss Fiske is here .. now.
1174
01:21:24,166 --> 01:21:27,506
Well .. what are you
two whispering about?
1175
01:21:28,354 --> 01:21:30,821
Hadn't you better go for your walk now?
- Yes, Ellen.
1176
01:21:31,124 --> 01:21:32,605
Anything you say, Ellen.
1177
01:21:46,684 --> 01:21:48,838
Do you think you're
strong enough to be up?
1178
01:21:49,303 --> 01:21:52,031
Yes, dear. I'm quite alright now.
- Hadn't you better have a doctor?
1179
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,336
No. A doctor couldn't do any good.
1180
01:22:01,118 --> 01:22:03,274
Why are you two standing
there like a couple of owls?
1181
01:22:04,315 --> 01:22:05,674
Emily has been frightening me.
1182
01:22:05,890 --> 01:22:07,724
You've been imagining
things, both of you.
1183
01:22:07,940 --> 01:22:09,719
Now, run along for your walk.
1184
01:22:10,194 --> 01:22:12,573
Whatever you say, Ellen. You know best.
1185
01:22:47,533 --> 01:22:48,748
Good morning, aunt Ellen.
1186
01:22:52,429 --> 01:22:53,848
We didn't expect you down today.
1187
01:22:55,144 --> 01:22:56,748
Why aren't you ready yet?
1188
01:22:57,416 --> 01:22:58,898
Bates will be here at any moment.
1189
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:01,876
Bates has been here and
gone .. I sent him away.
1190
01:23:02,599 --> 01:23:04,832
What do you mean by interfering
with my arrangements?
1191
01:23:05,087 --> 01:23:07,308
I didn't like to go and leave
you not feeling well.
1192
01:23:07,829 --> 01:23:09,585
I'm quite recovered now, thank you.
1193
01:23:10,535 --> 01:23:12,151
It was a queer turn you had last night.
1194
01:23:13,012 --> 01:23:13,913
What happened?
1195
01:23:16,155 --> 01:23:17,012
Nothing.
1196
01:23:17,529 --> 01:23:19,792
You know, you should really do
something about your nerves.
1197
01:23:20,064 --> 01:23:22,710
This isn't the first time you've walked
in your sleep, according to Emily.
1198
01:23:23,866 --> 01:23:24,996
What's Emily told you?
1199
01:23:25,212 --> 01:23:26,370
Just the usual chatter.
1200
01:23:27,566 --> 01:23:30,648
They do say that people who walk in
their sleep have a guilty conscience.
1201
01:23:32,807 --> 01:23:34,722
What's behind that remark, Albert?
1202
01:23:35,877 --> 01:23:36,788
Nothing.
1203
01:23:56,997 --> 01:23:58,016
You know.
1204
01:23:58,692 --> 01:23:59,725
Uhuh.
1205
01:24:07,734 --> 01:24:09,783
Then it was you last night?
- Yes.
1206
01:24:10,635 --> 01:24:12,786
Me and Lucy.
- She knows too?
1207
01:24:13,435 --> 01:24:16,579
Not what I know. That's something you
and I are going to keep to ourselves.
1208
01:24:17,454 --> 01:24:19,302
Provided of course, you treat me right.
1209
01:24:21,351 --> 01:24:22,852
What are you going to do?
1210
01:24:24,955 --> 01:24:26,342
As I said, I'm very happy here.
1211
01:24:26,974 --> 01:24:29,880
I think with your financial help I'll
be able to adjust things at the bank.
1212
01:24:30,486 --> 01:24:33,462
And we can all settle down in peace.
A contented little family.
1213
01:24:38,699 --> 01:24:40,639
You mean, you propose
to go on living here?
1214
01:24:41,042 --> 01:24:42,511
With me?
- Why not?
1215
01:24:43,380 --> 01:24:45,003
You'd never be quite sure, would you?
1216
01:24:45,991 --> 01:24:47,704
You might not enjoy your meals.
1217
01:24:51,328 --> 01:24:53,741
You wouldn't dare .. a second time.
1218
01:24:54,750 --> 01:24:57,031
It takes a lot of courage to
kill for the first time, Albert.
1219
01:24:57,830 --> 01:25:00,317
Once you've sold your soul to
the Devil it becomes easier.
1220
01:25:01,558 --> 01:25:02,675
Much easier.
1221
01:25:03,887 --> 01:25:07,713
Alright .. give me £500 and I'll clear
out for good. And keep my mouth shut.
1222
01:25:07,933 --> 01:25:10,215
I'm not afraid of you, Albert.
And your shabby little tricks.
1223
01:25:10,666 --> 01:25:13,323
In the middle of the night, you may
fancy yourself cutting quite a figure.
1224
01:25:13,980 --> 01:25:15,595
It's broad daylight now.
1225
01:25:16,055 --> 01:25:17,426
[ Door knocks ]
1226
01:25:22,761 --> 01:25:23,944
It's those nuns.
1227
01:25:24,482 --> 01:25:27,362
Get that out of sight.
And yourself with it.
1228
01:25:31,659 --> 01:25:33,002
[ Door knocks ]
1229
01:25:38,532 --> 01:25:41,311
Good day, Sisters.
- I must talk to you, right away.
1230
01:25:41,857 --> 01:25:43,121
Are you alone?
- Yes.
1231
01:25:43,889 --> 01:25:44,905
What's the matter?
1232
01:25:45,241 --> 01:25:48,898
It's really none of my business
and I shouldn't have come but ..
1233
01:25:49,781 --> 01:25:52,419
The police. They've been to the Priory.
- What about?
1234
01:25:52,973 --> 01:25:54,653
They're searching for a young man.
1235
01:25:55,095 --> 01:25:57,671
Who stole money from a
bank over Gravesend way.
1236
01:25:58,212 --> 01:26:01,295
And from the description,
I suspect it was your nephew.
1237
01:26:01,945 --> 01:26:05,639
I thought if he were told, he might
have a chance to do the right thing.
1238
01:26:06,213 --> 01:26:07,596
And give himself up.
1239
01:26:08,675 --> 01:26:10,261
It is your nephew?
- Yes.
1240
01:26:10,825 --> 01:26:14,130
But they mustn't search here.
- They've gone to the Coyne farm first.
1241
01:26:14,553 --> 01:26:16,139
I heard one of them say so.
1242
01:26:17,097 --> 01:26:20,813
Oh Miss Ellen. Have I done
wrong in coming to warn you?
1243
01:26:22,345 --> 01:26:23,773
I don't know, Sister.
1244
01:26:24,730 --> 01:26:26,719
I had a brother rather like that.
1245
01:26:27,632 --> 01:26:28,938
He went wrong too.
1246
01:26:30,148 --> 01:26:33,618
People are so easily lost, aren't they?
1247
01:26:34,524 --> 01:26:35,575
Yes they are.
1248
01:26:36,083 --> 01:26:38,511
Poor girl. You have so many burdens.
1249
01:26:39,161 --> 01:26:40,320
If you refer to Albert.
1250
01:26:40,901 --> 01:26:42,388
He means absolutely nothing to me.
1251
01:26:43,143 --> 01:26:44,543
No-one does, for that matter.
1252
01:26:45,350 --> 01:26:46,843
Except Emily and Louisa.
1253
01:26:48,365 --> 01:26:53,486
If, any time, we can do anything to make
things easier for you or your sisters ..
1254
01:26:54,242 --> 01:26:56,078
Don't hesitate to turn to us.
1255
01:26:56,401 --> 01:26:58,181
That's very kind of you, Sister Theresa.
1256
01:26:58,843 --> 01:27:00,509
But you know, we're not of your faith.
1257
01:27:01,152 --> 01:27:04,017
In my Father's house are many mansions.
1258
01:27:10,324 --> 01:27:11,797
Blimey, I thought they'd never go.
1259
01:27:12,013 --> 01:27:13,715
Thanks for putting in
a good word for me.
1260
01:27:15,247 --> 01:27:16,837
The Coyne farm, is it?
1261
01:27:17,115 --> 01:27:19,332
That will give me a chance to
get behind them to the river.
1262
01:27:19,548 --> 01:27:21,951
Hurry. There's no time to lose.
- Yes, I'll get my clothes.
1263
01:27:36,482 --> 01:27:37,496
Lucy.
1264
01:27:38,970 --> 01:27:40,574
Why are you staring at me like that?
1265
01:27:47,259 --> 01:27:48,389
You've been listening.
1266
01:27:52,279 --> 01:27:53,011
Lucy.
1267
01:27:53,847 --> 01:27:55,077
Lucy, come back.
1268
01:27:56,673 --> 01:27:57,922
Lucy, come back.
1269
01:28:00,607 --> 01:28:01,729
What's up?
1270
01:28:04,948 --> 01:28:05,763
What is it?
1271
01:28:06,671 --> 01:28:07,700
Lucy's run off.
1272
01:28:08,543 --> 01:28:09,842
She was listening.
1273
01:28:11,899 --> 01:28:13,091
Turn me in, would she?
1274
01:28:13,589 --> 01:28:15,946
I've got to move fast.
Where's that money and boat ticket?
1275
01:28:21,783 --> 01:28:23,304
You mean, she heard all about that?
1276
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:28,225
Yes.
1277
01:28:29,117 --> 01:28:31,860
Hey .. you'd better
make a dash for it too.
1278
01:28:46,271 --> 01:28:47,740
Don't stand there mooning about.
1279
01:28:48,092 --> 01:28:49,909
Put your things on and
let's get out of here.
1280
01:28:52,816 --> 01:28:53,999
I'm not going.
1281
01:28:56,844 --> 01:28:58,130
Are you out of your mind?
1282
01:29:01,266 --> 01:29:03,883
You know what they'll do to you?
- You'd better hurry, Albert.
1283
01:29:04,966 --> 01:29:06,581
Well, if that don't beat the cards.
1284
01:29:08,780 --> 01:29:09,710
Well then ..
1285
01:29:11,785 --> 01:29:14,516
So long Ellen .. no hard feelings.
1286
01:29:49,217 --> 01:29:50,486
Ellen, it was so funny.
1287
01:29:50,849 --> 01:29:51,893
We just saw Albert.
1288
01:29:52,306 --> 01:29:53,808
He was playing 'tag' with some men.
1289
01:29:54,130 --> 01:29:56,069
He didn't win. They caught him.
1290
01:29:56,413 --> 01:29:57,556
He got quite annoyed.
1291
01:30:00,436 --> 01:30:02,922
Ellen, look.
We found a lot of jackdaw feathers.
1292
01:30:03,297 --> 01:30:05,846
We're going to tie them into
bundles and make little dusters.
1293
01:30:07,021 --> 01:30:08,492
Where are you going?
1294
01:30:10,172 --> 01:30:11,816
I'm going to Coyne farm.
1295
01:30:12,298 --> 01:30:14,852
There are some gentlemen there from
Gravesend and I want to see them.
1296
01:30:15,068 --> 01:30:16,974
You won't bring them
back here, will you Ellen.
1297
01:30:17,228 --> 01:30:19,134
It's so nice and peaceful by ourselves.
1298
01:30:20,007 --> 01:30:22,812
No, dear. I'll try not to
bring them back here.
1299
01:30:31,833 --> 01:30:35,636
You have been happy here, haven't you?
- We are happy here, aren't we Emily?
1300
01:30:35,852 --> 01:30:38,249
Yes .. it's much better than London.
1301
01:30:38,547 --> 01:30:40,897
It's so good of you to have
bought this house for us.
1302
01:30:41,242 --> 01:30:43,035
You have been clever, Ellen.
1303
01:31:06,500 --> 01:31:07,632
How long will you be?
1304
01:31:08,778 --> 01:31:10,031
I don't know, dear.
1305
01:31:10,562 --> 01:31:12,115
Maybe quite a time.
1306
01:31:13,116 --> 01:31:15,317
I think I shall go down
to The Priory tomorrow.
1307
01:31:15,914 --> 01:31:18,728
I should like to see the things the
Reverend Mother collected on the marsh.
1308
01:31:18,965 --> 01:31:20,045
I'll go with you.
1309
01:31:26,793 --> 01:31:29,371
Goodbye, Ellen .. don't worry about us.
1310
01:31:29,816 --> 01:31:31,460
We can look after ourselves.
1311
01:32:12,774 --> 01:32:13,678

Ellen Creed, a proud spinster fallen on hard times, has spent the past two years as housekeeper and companion to her old friend Leonora Fiske, a wealthy retiree who in her youth had been a chorus girl "of easy virtue". Ellen receives a letter threatening that unless she can tame her two peculiar sisters, the police will be called and the sisters will be evicted from their lodgings for outlandish behaviour. Leonora allows Ellen to invite her sisters to visit.
One day when Ellen is away, handsome young stranger Albert Feather appears, claiming to be Ellen's nephew. Leonora lends him money, but Albert makes her promise not to tell Ellen about either his visit or the loan.
Ellen returns with her sisters, who quickly wear out their welcome, proving to be a burden to Leonora and her maid Lucy. Leonora complains to Ellen, pointing out that two days have turned into six weeks and that the sisters are destroying her possessions and fraying her nerves. Leonora finally orders them out but Ellen pleads with Leonora, afraid that her sisters will be sent to an institution. In a rage, Ellen then strangles Leonora to death.
Ellen tells visitors and Lucy that Leonora is traveling. She tells her sisters that she bought the house and makes them swear that they will never talk about Leonora or that she sold the house.
Some nuns living nearby visit the house in a terrible storm to borrow something. After Ellen sends Lucy to the shed, Lucy is surprised there by Albert, with whom Lucy had a flirtation the first time that he was at the Fiske home. He flirts with her again and asks her to promise not to tell Ellen that he has been there before or that he is in the shed. Instead, he visits through the front door, telling Ellen that he needs help and a place to stay because he is a wanted thief. Ellen refuses to allow Albert to stay and buys him a boat ticket out of the country and says that she will give him some money to make a new start.
Albert and Lucy find evidence that Ellen is hiding something about Leonora. They find Leonora's wig, wondering why she did not travel with it. Albert intercepts a letter from the bank asking why Leonora's signature on a check is much different than the one that they have on file. Albert reads the blotter after Ellen writes back to them about a "sprained wrist." Lucy is not able to figure out what is happening, but Albert is putting the pieces together.
Albert seduces Lucy and tries to steal the hidden money, but fails to find it. He has Lucy sit at the piano, playing Leonora's favourite song and wearing a wig with her back to Ellen, who screams at the sight of her and faints. Albert forgoes his trip in order to stay and blackmail his aunt so that he can have an easy life in the country. He confronts Ellen and she confesses, and he talks about his own crimes. Lucy overhears them and flees the house, and the neighbour nuns come to the door and Albert hides. The nuns tell Ellen that the police are looking for a man who fits Albert's description. Albert comes out of hiding and takes the ticket and money from her and leaves. Ellen's sisters return from their walk and tell her that they saw Albert playing tag with two men. Ellen smiles, dons her coat and hat, tells the sisters she's going to see some men, kisses them goodbye and departs into the fog.

00:02:41,245 --> 00:02:44,163
Well, here we are.
I turn down here at the next block.
2
00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,874
Thanks, mister. I'll get off there.
3
00:02:51,088 --> 00:02:53,297
[jukebox: up-tempo band music]
4
00:02:53,382 --> 00:02:56,384
- Want anything else?
- No.
5
00:02:56,468 --> 00:02:57,552
Hey, you.
6
00:03:00,556 --> 00:03:03,266
- Me?
- Yeah, you. Where ya heading?
7
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,686
- East.
- Too bad.
8
00:03:07,563 --> 00:03:10,439
I thought if you was headin' north,
I might be able to help you out.
9
00:03:10,524 --> 00:03:13,276
Pushing to Salt Lake,
and I don't like to ride alone at night.
10
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,028
I'm one of those guys that gotta talk
or I fall asleep.
11
00:03:16,113 --> 00:03:17,738
- Oh.
- So I gotta get my...
12
00:03:17,823 --> 00:03:20,157
My partner,
he's got Lou to keep him company.
13
00:03:20,242 --> 00:03:21,909
But I ain't got nobody at all.
14
00:03:21,994 --> 00:03:24,620
- Where ya comin' from?
- West.
15
00:03:24,705 --> 00:03:27,331
Yeah, sure, I know,
but where? LA?
16
00:03:27,416 --> 00:03:29,792
- Maybe.
- Got a cousin out in LA.
17
00:03:29,877 --> 00:03:31,586
- You don't say?
- Yeah, he's been out...
18
00:03:33,046 --> 00:03:34,505
You're not much of a talker, are ya?
19
00:03:34,590 --> 00:03:36,507
My mother taught me
never to speak to strangers.
20
00:03:36,592 --> 00:03:38,426
- Oh, a wise guy, huh?
- So what?
21
00:03:38,510 --> 00:03:42,430
Okay, okay. Don't get sore.
Just trying to be sociable, that's all.
22
00:03:43,891 --> 00:03:45,308
- Hey, Glamorous.
- [coin clatters]
23
00:03:45,392 --> 00:03:47,018
Give me change for a dime, will ya?
24
00:03:51,899 --> 00:03:54,233
- [register rings]
- [coin clatters]
25
00:03:56,778 --> 00:03:58,821
Let's have something quieter this time, Joe.
26
00:03:58,906 --> 00:04:00,907
- My head's splitting.
- Is that what's wrong with it?
27
00:04:00,991 --> 00:04:02,450
[chuckles softly]
28
00:04:04,161 --> 00:04:07,747
- Done with your coffee?
- No. And don't rush me, will ya?
29
00:04:07,831 --> 00:04:11,250
[jukebox: new song plays, up-tempo]
30
00:04:15,172 --> 00:04:17,173
Hey, turn that off.
Will ya turn that thing off?
31
00:04:17,257 --> 00:04:19,050
- What's eating you now?
- Yeah, what's eating you?
32
00:04:19,134 --> 00:04:21,052
- That music. It stinks!
- Oh, you don't like it, huh?
33
00:04:21,136 --> 00:04:23,220
- No, turn it off!
- Now wait a minute, pal.
34
00:04:23,305 --> 00:04:24,972
That was my nickel, see?
35
00:04:25,057 --> 00:04:28,059
This is a free country,
and I play whatever I want to.
36
00:04:29,603 --> 00:04:30,645
Okay.
37
00:04:30,729 --> 00:04:33,022
Sure. And if you don't like,
you don't have to listen to it.
38
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:35,066
And you can leave here anytime you wanna.
39
00:04:35,150 --> 00:04:36,692
Okay, okay. I'm sorry I asked.
40
00:04:36,777 --> 00:04:38,986
First good piece played tonight,
and you don't like it.
41
00:04:39,071 --> 00:04:41,489
Some people just ain't got any good taste.
42
00:04:44,076 --> 00:04:47,161
[music continues]
43
00:04:52,751 --> 00:04:55,962
[thinking] That tune. That tune!
44
00:04:56,046 --> 00:04:58,297
Why was there always that rotten tune?
45
00:04:58,382 --> 00:05:01,175
Following me around, beating in my head,
never letting up.
46
00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:07,181
Did you ever wanna forget anything?
47
00:05:07,599 --> 00:05:10,518
Did you ever wanna cut away
a piece of your memory or blot it out?
48
00:05:10,978 --> 00:05:14,397
You can't, you know?
No matter how hard you try.
49
00:05:14,481 --> 00:05:16,440
You can change the scenery,
50
00:05:16,525 --> 00:05:18,609
but sooner or later
you'll get a whiff of perfume,
51
00:05:18,694 --> 00:05:21,195
or somebody will say a certain phrase
or maybe hum something.
52
00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:23,531
Then you're licked again.
53
00:05:25,575 --> 00:05:27,994
"I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me."
54
00:05:28,078 --> 00:05:29,954
I used to love that song once.
55
00:05:30,038 --> 00:05:33,124
So did the customers back in the old
Break O' Dawn Club in New York.
56
00:05:33,625 --> 00:05:36,711
I can't remember a night when I didn't get
at least three requests for it.
57
00:05:37,504 --> 00:05:40,756
Sue, she was always selling it too.
58
00:05:41,258 --> 00:05:42,550
Those were the days.
59
00:05:42,634 --> 00:05:44,635
[song continues]
60
00:05:48,598 --> 00:05:51,559
[song continues, live combo playing]
61
00:06:07,701 --> 00:06:11,245
# Your eyes of blue
Your kisses too #
62
00:06:11,329 --> 00:06:14,123
# I never knew what they could do #
63
00:06:14,207 --> 00:06:19,420
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
64
00:06:19,963 --> 00:06:23,132
# You're telling everyone you know #
65
00:06:23,216 --> 00:06:26,343
# That I'm on your mind each place you go #
66
00:06:26,428 --> 00:06:31,223
# They can't believe
That you're in love with me #
67
00:06:32,392 --> 00:06:38,189
# I have always placed you far above me #
68
00:06:38,273 --> 00:06:43,778
# I just can't imagine that you love me #
69
00:06:43,862 --> 00:06:47,073
# And after all is said and done #
70
00:06:47,157 --> 00:06:50,284
# To think that I'm the lucky one #
71
00:06:50,368 --> 00:06:55,748
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
72
00:07:02,631 --> 00:07:04,715
[Al narrating] It wasn't much of a club, really.
73
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,300
You know the kind.
74
00:07:06,384 --> 00:07:08,385
A joint where you could have a sandwich
and a few drinks,
75
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:11,055
and run interference for your girl
on the dance floor.
76
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:15,101
- [playing romantic melody]
- I fronted the piano in there every night
77
00:07:15,185 --> 00:07:17,311
from 8:00 until the place closed up,
78
00:07:17,395 --> 00:07:19,563
which usually meant 4:00 in the morning.
79
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:22,066
A good job as jobs went in those days.
80
00:07:25,487 --> 00:07:28,739
Then, too, there was Sue,
81
00:07:28,824 --> 00:07:31,784
who made working there
a little like working in heaven.
82
00:07:32,244 --> 00:07:36,372
But how we felt about each other, well,
there was nothing very unusual in that.
83
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:39,834
I was an ordinary healthy guy,
and she was an ordinary healthy girl,
84
00:07:39,918 --> 00:07:43,170
and when you add those two together,
you get an ordinary healthy romance,
85
00:07:43,255 --> 00:07:44,672
which is the old story.
86
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:49,426
Sure. But somehow
the most wonderful thing in the world.
87
00:07:49,511 --> 00:07:51,846
[continues playing, rapidly]
88
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:59,436
All in all, I was a pretty lucky guy.
89
00:08:12,450 --> 00:08:15,494
Mr. Patterewsky, I presume?
It's beautiful.
90
00:08:15,579 --> 00:08:17,663
You're going to make Carnegie Hall yet, Al.
91
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:20,332
Yeah. As a janitor.
92
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:22,251
I'll make my debut in the basement.
93
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:26,005
I don't blame you for being bitter,
darling, but you mustn't give up hope.
94
00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:27,798
- Why, some day...
- Yeah, some day,
95
00:08:27,883 --> 00:08:29,633
if I don't get arthritis first.
96
00:08:29,718 --> 00:08:31,385
In the meantime, let's blow this trap.
97
00:08:31,469 --> 00:08:32,845
[piano lid thuds]
98
00:08:48,737 --> 00:08:49,737
[door closes]
99
00:08:51,323 --> 00:08:53,782
- Like to get something to eat, hon?
- Oh, I don't think so, Al.
100
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:56,911
I lose my appetite working in this fleabag.
101
00:08:56,995 --> 00:08:58,954
- Let's go home.
- Okay.
102
00:08:59,831 --> 00:09:02,416
I can't stand much more of that dump.
103
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:05,211
Did you see that drunk tonight
trying to paw me?
104
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:08,547
- No, what drunk?
- Does it matter what drunk?
105
00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:11,800
Say, what's the matter with you tonight, darling?
106
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:14,511
That's the third time you started
to tell me something and then stopped.
107
00:09:15,305 --> 00:09:17,806
We shouldn't have any secrets
from each other, Sue.
108
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:20,267
Next week, we're gonna make with a ring
and a license. We'll be a team.
109
00:09:20,352 --> 00:09:23,395
Yes, that's right. In the bush league.
110
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,190
- I don't get ya.
- We've been struck out.
111
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:29,276
That's a funny way to talk, darling.
112
00:09:29,361 --> 00:09:31,737
- Don't you wanna marry me?
- Al, look, I love you.
113
00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:34,198
You know I do.
And I want to marry you.
114
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:36,742
- But...?
- But not now.
115
00:09:36,826 --> 00:09:39,286
Only after we've made good.
116
00:09:39,371 --> 00:09:40,996
Sunday I'm going away.
117
00:09:41,706 --> 00:09:43,666
Oh, I know you'll think it's silly.
118
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:46,001
That's why I hesitated to tell you.
119
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:47,795
But I'm going to California.
120
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:50,297
I wanna try my luck in Hollywood.
121
00:09:50,548 --> 00:09:52,758
[Al] That's the most
stupid thing I ever heard of.
122
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:56,387
Don't you know millions of people go out there
every year and wind up polishing cuspidors?
123
00:09:56,471 --> 00:09:57,638
I thought you had better sense.
124
00:09:57,722 --> 00:09:59,598
You sound as if you think
I don't have any talent.
125
00:09:59,683 --> 00:10:02,101
- That has nothing to do with it.
- I'll make out all right.
126
00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:03,936
Maybe. But what about me?
127
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:06,563
Doesn't it mean anything to you
that you're busting up all our plans?
128
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:09,817
- We may not see each other for years?
- It won't be that long.
129
00:10:09,901 --> 00:10:12,111
- I thought you loved me.
- I do.
130
00:10:12,195 --> 00:10:13,737
You know I do.
131
00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:18,325
Well, here we are.
132
00:10:20,787 --> 00:10:21,787
Al...
133
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:25,541
Al, why can't you see my side of it?
134
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:28,294
I'm young. We both are. And...
135
00:10:28,378 --> 00:10:31,005
And we've got all the time in the world
to settle down.
136
00:10:31,715 --> 00:10:33,966
[sighs] Really, darling.
137
00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:37,303
What I'm doing is the only sane thing to do.
138
00:10:37,387 --> 00:10:40,889
[sighs] I... I hate the thought
of being so far away from you.
139
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:44,226
But... But we'll be together again some day.
140
00:10:44,311 --> 00:10:47,563
[sighs] Maybe you'll decide
to come out too, later on.
141
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:49,898
- So long.
- Al.
142
00:10:50,734 --> 00:10:53,068
Aren't you gonna kiss me good night?
143
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,237
Sure, why not?
144
00:10:57,741 --> 00:10:58,991
Good night.
145
00:11:05,248 --> 00:11:07,708
[playing romantic melody]
146
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:34,276
[playing jauntily, jazzy]
147
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:47,164
[changing rhythm, slower]
148
00:12:09,604 --> 00:12:12,231
[changing rhythm, jittery]
149
00:12:18,822 --> 00:12:21,824
[no audible dialogue]
150
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:40,717
[piano playing stops]
151
00:12:40,802 --> 00:12:42,469
- [applause]
- Say, Roberts.
152
00:12:42,554 --> 00:12:45,848
You hit the jackpot this time. Ten bucks.
153
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:47,391
Thanks.
154
00:12:53,481 --> 00:12:56,024
[Al narrating] So when this drunk handed me
a ten-spot after a request,
155
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:57,526
I couldn't get very excited.
156
00:12:57,777 --> 00:13:01,363
What was it, I asked myself?
A piece of paper crawling with germs.
157
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:03,866
Couldn't buy anything I wanted.
158
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:05,242
It couldn't...
159
00:13:08,246 --> 00:13:09,705
Then I thought of something.
160
00:13:33,104 --> 00:13:34,313
Long distance.
161
00:13:34,397 --> 00:13:36,857
I'd like to put a call through to Los Angeles.
162
00:13:36,941 --> 00:13:39,193
Miss Harvey. Sue Harvey.
163
00:13:39,277 --> 00:13:41,069
H-A-R-V-E-Y.
164
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:44,615
The number is CRestview 65723.
165
00:14:04,594 --> 00:14:06,386
- 4.50.
- [coin clatters]
166
00:14:06,471 --> 00:14:08,347
- 4.75.
- [coin clatters]
167
00:14:08,431 --> 00:14:09,431
5.00.
168
00:14:12,477 --> 00:14:15,020
Hello, Sue? This is Al.
169
00:14:15,104 --> 00:14:17,356
Oh, baby, it's great to hear from you too.
170
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,651
What's that? You do?
Oh, me too, darling.
171
00:14:20,735 --> 00:14:23,362
I thought I'd go batty without you.
I just had to...
172
00:14:23,446 --> 00:14:24,446
Huh?
173
00:14:25,406 --> 00:14:27,449
You're workin' as a hash slinger?
174
00:14:27,534 --> 00:14:28,867
Gee, honey, that's tough.
175
00:14:28,952 --> 00:14:32,371
Those guys out in Hollywood don't know
the real thing when it's right in front of them.
176
00:14:32,455 --> 00:14:34,164
You just stick it out, Sue, baby.
177
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:37,417
Keep goin' around to those casting offices.
I'm sure you'll click.
178
00:14:38,002 --> 00:14:40,629
Look, I'll tell you what.
You stay put out there. I'll come to you.
179
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:43,632
No, don't try to stop me. Just expect me.
180
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:46,760
Train? Who knows?
Train, plane, bus, magic carpet.
181
00:14:46,844 --> 00:14:50,430
I'll be there if I have to crawl.
If I have to travel by pogo stick.
182
00:14:50,515 --> 00:14:53,809
And then... let's get married right away.
183
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:59,439
That's the stuff. That's what
I've been wanting to hear you say.
184
00:15:00,525 --> 00:15:03,110
Well, good-bye for now.
185
00:15:04,362 --> 00:15:06,905
I'll be seeing you soon. [kisses]
186
00:15:07,282 --> 00:15:10,492
Yeah. [kisses] Bye.
187
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:18,500
[Al narrating] The only way I could
cross country was to thumb rides,
188
00:15:18,585 --> 00:15:21,587
for even after hocking everything,
I only had enough money to eat.
189
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:24,923
Money. You know what that is.
190
00:15:25,717 --> 00:15:27,551
It's the stuff you never have enough of.
191
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:29,720
Little green things
with George Washington's picture
192
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:33,432
that men slave for,
commit crimes for, die for.
193
00:15:34,183 --> 00:15:36,226
It's the stuff that has caused
more trouble in the world
194
00:15:36,311 --> 00:15:38,186
than anything else we ever invented,
195
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:41,273
simply because there's too little of it.
196
00:15:41,357 --> 00:15:43,442
At least I had too little of it.
197
00:15:43,526 --> 00:15:45,319
So it was me for the thumb.
198
00:16:01,753 --> 00:16:03,170
Ever done any hitchhiking?
199
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:05,881
It's not much fun, believe me.
200
00:16:06,549 --> 00:16:08,842
Oh, yeah,
I know all about how it's an education,
201
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:11,595
and how you get to meet a lot of people,
and all that.
202
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:15,849
But me, from now on
I'll take my education in college,
203
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:20,187
or in P.S. 62, or I'll send $1.98
in stamps for ten easy lessons.
204
00:16:29,447 --> 00:16:33,367
Thumbing rides may save you bus fare,
but it's dangerous.
205
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:37,954
You never know what's in store for you
when you hear the squeal of brakes.
206
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,001
If only I had known what I was getting into
that day in Arizona.
207
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:46,546
Here, throw that in the back seat.
208
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:51,301
Okay, let's go.
Make sure that door's closed.
209
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:53,553
- [door closes]
- [lock clacks]
210
00:17:05,483 --> 00:17:09,319
You know, Emily Post ought to write
a book of rules for guys thumbing rides.
211
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:13,031
Because as it is now you never know
what's right and what's wrong.
212
00:17:13,783 --> 00:17:17,285
We rode along for a little while,
neither one of us saying anything.
213
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:19,538
I was glad of that.
214
00:17:19,622 --> 00:17:22,457
I never know what to say
to strange people driving cars.
215
00:17:23,418 --> 00:17:26,545
And too, you can never tell
if a guy wants to talk.
216
00:17:26,629 --> 00:17:29,631
A lot of rides have been cut short
because of a big mouth.
217
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:34,845
So I kept my mouth shut
until he started opening up.
218
00:17:35,596 --> 00:17:38,473
Hand me that little box
in the compartment, will ya, pal?
219
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:42,936
Hold the wheel, will ya?
220
00:17:44,397 --> 00:17:45,397
[pills rattling]
221
00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:53,029
[glove box closes]
222
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:56,450
- How far are ya going?
- LA.
223
00:17:56,534 --> 00:17:58,577
Well, you're really traveling aren't ya?
224
00:17:58,661 --> 00:18:00,704
Yeah, but I don't expect to make it
for a couple years
225
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:02,372
at the rate I've been promoting rides.
226
00:18:02,457 --> 00:18:03,582
Not much luck, huh?
227
00:18:03,666 --> 00:18:05,459
Sure. All bad.
228
00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:07,753
Not many people stop for a guy these days.
229
00:18:07,837 --> 00:18:09,296
Afraid of a stickup maybe.
230
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:10,505
Ah, you can't blame 'em.
231
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:13,675
- Where ya comin' from?
- New York.
232
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,137
Well, New York. You're in luck this time.
233
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:19,139
I'm goin' all the way.
234
00:18:19,223 --> 00:18:20,807
Right through to Los Angeles.
235
00:18:22,018 --> 00:18:24,102
- You drive a car?
- Sure.
236
00:18:24,187 --> 00:18:26,897
- Whenever you're tired, let me know.
- I'll holler.
237
00:18:28,691 --> 00:18:30,776
I guess at least an hour passed
before I noticed
238
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:32,778
those deep scratches in his right hand.
239
00:18:33,237 --> 00:18:34,696
They were wicked.
240
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:37,532
Three puffy red lines
about a quarter of an inch apart.
241
00:18:38,576 --> 00:18:40,869
He must have seen me looking at them
because he said...
242
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:43,288
Beauties, aren't they?
243
00:18:44,081 --> 00:18:45,957
They're gonna be scars someday.
244
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:49,002
What an animal.
245
00:18:49,086 --> 00:18:51,880
Whatever it was, it must have been
pretty big and vicious to have done that.
246
00:18:52,381 --> 00:18:54,424
Right on both counts, New York.
247
00:18:54,509 --> 00:18:57,636
I was tussling with the most
dangerous animal in the world...
248
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,804
a woman.
249
00:18:59,388 --> 00:19:01,014
She must have been Tarzan's mate.
250
00:19:01,098 --> 00:19:02,766
Looks like you lost the bout.
251
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:04,559
Certainly wasn't a draw.
252
00:19:05,394 --> 00:19:08,313
You know, there ought to be a law
against dames with claws.
253
00:19:08,397 --> 00:19:09,314
Yeah.
254
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:11,483
I tossed her out of the car on her ear.
255
00:19:12,318 --> 00:19:16,655
Was I wrong? Give a lift to a tomato,
you expect her to be nice, don't ya?
256
00:19:16,739 --> 00:19:17,656
Yeah.
257
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:20,242
After all, what kind of dames thumb rides?
258
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:22,577
- Sunday school teachers?
- Yeah.
259
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:25,747
The little witch.
260
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:28,458
She must've thought she was riding
with some fall guy.
261
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:32,337
And me who's been booking horses
around racetracks since I was 20.
262
00:19:33,047 --> 00:19:34,923
[scoffs] I've known a million dames like her.
263
00:19:35,383 --> 00:19:37,217
- Two million.
- Yeah.
264
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:42,138
Stopped the car, opened the door...
265
00:19:42,223 --> 00:19:44,641
"Take it on the Arthur Duffy, sister,"
I told her.
266
00:19:44,725 --> 00:19:48,103
- That's the stuff.
- As I was down on her. [laughs]
267
00:19:48,479 --> 00:19:52,148
But if you wanna see a real scar, brother,
get a load of this.
268
00:19:53,442 --> 00:19:55,026
Wow.
269
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:57,904
- I got that one dueling.
- Dueling?
270
00:19:58,406 --> 00:19:59,865
Yeah. We were just kidding, of course.
271
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:02,450
My dad owned a couple of
Franco-Prussian sabers.
272
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:04,244
Kept 'em on the wall for decorations.
273
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:09,749
One day, another kid and I took 'em down
when the old man wasn't around. Had a duel.
274
00:20:09,834 --> 00:20:11,376
[chuckles]
275
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:13,587
He hit me in the arm, here.
276
00:20:13,671 --> 00:20:15,338
Pretty mean cut.
277
00:20:15,423 --> 00:20:16,965
Infection set in later.
278
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:18,842
Yeah, I can see that.
279
00:20:19,093 --> 00:20:21,428
- Oh, gimme that box again, will ya?
- Yeah.
280
00:20:24,765 --> 00:20:26,099
[pills rattling]
281
00:20:31,355 --> 00:20:32,397
[glove box closes]
282
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:35,525
Pain made me lose my head, I guess.
283
00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:37,694
I began slashing.
284
00:20:37,778 --> 00:20:40,488
Before I knew it,
I put the other kid's eye out.
285
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:43,950
- That was tough.
- Well, it was just an accident, of course.
286
00:20:44,035 --> 00:20:48,413
But you know how kids are. I got scared...
decided I was gonna run away from home.
287
00:20:48,915 --> 00:20:51,958
Old man almost clocked me
when I was packin' my duds.
288
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:56,296
If the bloody rag I had wrapped around my wrist
hadn't caught his attention,
289
00:20:56,380 --> 00:20:58,048
he'd have seen the bundle for sure.
290
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:01,551
But I beat it when he was phoning for a doctor.
291
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:06,598
That was 15, 16 years ago.
I haven't been home since.
292
00:21:10,561 --> 00:21:12,729
Pull in there for a bite of something, huh?
293
00:21:12,813 --> 00:21:14,481
[Al narrating] A bite of something.
294
00:21:14,565 --> 00:21:16,066
Brother, was I hungry.
295
00:21:16,150 --> 00:21:18,401
I hadn't had anything in my stomach for hours.
296
00:21:19,362 --> 00:21:21,404
Yet even with that gnawing
in the pit of my belly,
297
00:21:21,489 --> 00:21:24,324
I didn't want to be in too big a rush
to put on the feed bag.
298
00:21:25,076 --> 00:21:27,827
First, I had to make sure
this guy knew the score.
299
00:21:27,912 --> 00:21:31,247
If I got him down on me,
it was good-bye ticket to Hollywood.
300
00:21:32,083 --> 00:21:33,708
I'll wait out here for you, mister.
301
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:36,753
If it's the money, don't worry about
paying for it. This time it's on me.
302
00:21:36,837 --> 00:21:39,255
- Well, that's white of you, Mr...
- Haskell. Think nothing of it.
303
00:21:39,340 --> 00:21:42,717
You make your first million, maybe you can
do the same for me. Come on, New York.
304
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:44,594
I gotta make the West Coast by Wednesday.
305
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:47,263
There's a horse running at
Santa Anita named Paradisiacal.
306
00:21:47,348 --> 00:21:49,933
- Means dough to me if I'm running.
- We'll make it all right.
307
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:54,688
[Al narrating] He did most of the talking
during the half hour we were in the place.
308
00:21:54,772 --> 00:21:55,772
I ate.
309
00:21:56,857 --> 00:22:01,027
He rambled on about his old man, who he hadn't
heard from since he ran away as a kid,
310
00:22:01,112 --> 00:22:02,946
and how he happened to become a bookie,
311
00:22:03,030 --> 00:22:05,740
and then all about how he got rooked in Miami.
312
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:08,660
One race, 38 grand.
They cleaned out my book.
313
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:11,079
- How do you like that?
- That was tough luck.
314
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:13,164
Yeah, and I'm supposed to be the smart guy.
315
00:22:13,249 --> 00:22:16,543
You just wait. I'm going back to Florida
next season with all kinds of jack.
316
00:22:16,627 --> 00:22:18,586
And you watch those stinkers run for cover.
317
00:22:19,547 --> 00:22:21,965
- Want anything else?
- No, thanks, I've had plenty.
318
00:22:27,638 --> 00:22:29,556
- The check there, sister?
- Mm-hmm.
319
00:22:32,601 --> 00:22:34,519
Oh, just a minute. Your change, sir.
320
00:22:34,603 --> 00:22:37,272
- Keep it, sister.
- Oh, thank you, sir. Call again.
321
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,190
I'll be waitin' outside for you
when you finish work.
322
00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:40,400
[chuckles]
323
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:41,776
Sharp chick, huh?
324
00:22:49,952 --> 00:22:52,912
[Al narrating] I drove all that night
while Haskell slept like a log.
325
00:22:53,581 --> 00:22:56,416
After a while, I began to get sleepy myself.
326
00:22:57,835 --> 00:23:01,671
I was happy though.
Soon I'd be with Sue again.
327
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:03,214
The long trip was practically over,
328
00:23:03,299 --> 00:23:06,009
and there'd be no more hoofing it
down the concrete.
329
00:23:06,761 --> 00:23:08,928
I began to think of the future,
330
00:23:09,013 --> 00:23:12,098
which couldn't have been brighter
if I'd embroidered it with neon lights.
331
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,226
It was nice to think of Sue shooting to the top.
332
00:23:16,437 --> 00:23:20,356
[chuckles] It's amazing what a full belly
can do to your imagination.
333
00:23:20,566 --> 00:23:23,276
[romantic ballad]
334
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:28,156
# Your eyes are blue
Your kisses too #
335
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,577
# I never knew what they could do #

00:23:32,661 --> 00:23:39,667
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
337
00:23:41,045 --> 00:23:45,632
# You're telling everyone you know #
338
00:23:45,716 --> 00:23:50,095
# I'm on your mind each place you go #
339
00:23:50,179 --> 00:23:56,017
# I can't believe that you're in love #
340
00:23:56,352 --> 00:24:02,690
# With me #
341
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:12,951
Mr. Haskell.
342
00:24:14,703 --> 00:24:15,703
Mr. Haskell?
343
00:24:18,833 --> 00:24:20,875
Mr. Haskell, wake up! It's raining.
344
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,002
Don't you think we ought to stop
and put up the top?
345
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:33,263
Mr. Haskell, I'm gonna put up the top.
346
00:24:48,154 --> 00:24:50,029
[Al narrating] Until then,
I'd done things my way.
347
00:24:50,531 --> 00:24:52,699
But from then on, something else
stepped in and shunted me off
348
00:24:52,783 --> 00:24:55,535
to a different destination
than the one I had picked for myself.
349
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:58,329
For when I pulled open that door...
350
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:05,170
Mr. Haskell, what's the matter?
Are you hurt?
351
00:25:06,255 --> 00:25:07,547
Are you hurt, Mr. Haskell?
352
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:11,467
[Al narrating]
Start your sermon. I'll listen to it.
353
00:25:12,219 --> 00:25:15,013
But I know what you're gonna hand me
even before you open your mouths.
354
00:25:15,598 --> 00:25:18,016
You're gonna tell me you don't believe
my story of how Haskell died
355
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:21,352
and give me that "don't make me laugh"
expression on your smug faces.
356
00:25:24,815 --> 00:25:26,357
I saw at once he was dead.
357
00:25:26,692 --> 00:25:28,193
And I was in for it.
358
00:25:28,277 --> 00:25:30,111
Who would believe he fell out of the car?
359
00:25:30,196 --> 00:25:31,738
If Haskell came to, which,
of course, he couldn't,
360
00:25:31,822 --> 00:25:34,240
even he would swear
I conked him over the head for his dough.
361
00:25:34,325 --> 00:25:35,491
Yes, I was in for it.
362
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:39,829
Instinct told me to run,
but then I realized it was hopeless.
363
00:25:39,914 --> 00:25:41,998
There were lots of people back down the road
who could identify me.
364
00:25:42,082 --> 00:25:44,000
That gas station guy and the waitress.
365
00:25:44,084 --> 00:25:46,419
I would be in a worse spot then
trying to explain why I beat it.
366
00:25:47,504 --> 00:25:50,381
The next possibility was to sit tight
and tell the truth when the cops came.
367
00:25:50,466 --> 00:25:53,176
But that would be crazy.
They'd laugh at the truth.
368
00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:54,552
And I'd have my head in a noose.
369
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:59,807
So what else was there to do
but hide the body and get away in the car?
370
00:25:59,892 --> 00:26:02,101
I couldn't leave the car there
with him in the gully.
371
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:03,937
That would be like erecting a tombstone.
372
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:35,385
My idea was to cover him with brush,
not to rob him.
373
00:26:35,636 --> 00:26:38,304
But then I remembered that even if
I only drove the car for 100 miles or so,
374
00:26:38,389 --> 00:26:39,722
I would need money for gas.
375
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:44,060
Besides, it was stupid of me
to leave all that money on a dead man.
376
00:26:45,145 --> 00:26:47,188
Not only that,
I'd have to take his driver's license
377
00:26:47,273 --> 00:26:48,690
in case I was stopped for something.
378
00:26:50,901 --> 00:26:52,235
I didn't like to think about it,
379
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,821
but by that time I'd done
just what the police would say I did.
380
00:26:54,905 --> 00:26:57,740
Even if I didn't... My clothes.
381
00:26:58,367 --> 00:27:00,618
The owner of such an expensive car
would never be wearing them.
382
00:27:01,662 --> 00:27:03,246
Some cop might pull me in on suspicion.
383
00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,802
[motorcycle approaches]
384
00:27:28,939 --> 00:27:30,231
Hey, you. This your car?
385
00:27:30,941 --> 00:27:33,943
Don't you know better than to leave a car
with the wheels halfway in the middle of the road?
386
00:27:34,028 --> 00:27:35,403
That's the way accidents happen.
387
00:27:35,612 --> 00:27:38,614
I... I'm sorry, Officer.
I was just putting up my top.
388
00:27:38,699 --> 00:27:41,367
- I didn't think.
- Well, the next time, think.
389
00:27:41,452 --> 00:27:43,911
I'll let you go now,
but watch your step in the future.
390
00:27:43,996 --> 00:27:46,414
I know that it's a lonely stretch,
but cars come by here once in a while.
391
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:49,334
- We have plenty of crack-ups.
- Thanks, Officer.
392
00:28:13,067 --> 00:28:15,777
[Al narrating] I left nothing in the car
that'd give me away as Roberts.
393
00:28:15,861 --> 00:28:18,529
If they found a dead man in the gully now,
it could be me.
394
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:28,122
As I drove off, it was still raining.
395
00:28:29,083 --> 00:28:31,876
The drops streaked
down the windshield like tears.
396
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:36,381
I kept imagining I was being followed,
397
00:28:36,465 --> 00:28:38,341
that I could hear sirens
back in the distance.
398
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,471
Just how long it took to cover the 60-odd
miles to the California state line,
399
00:28:43,555 --> 00:28:44,555
I don't know.
400
00:28:45,057 --> 00:28:46,641
I lost all track of time.
401
00:28:47,351 --> 00:28:51,270
But the rain had stopped and the sun was up
when I pulled up to the inspection station.
402
00:28:55,859 --> 00:28:56,692
Hello.
403
00:28:57,653 --> 00:28:59,946
- Carrying any fruits or vegetables?
- No.

00:29:00,030 --> 00:29:02,198
- Any livestock or poultry?
- No.

[footsteps approaching]

00:29:03,826 --> 00:29:06,202
I'd like to see your registration
and driver's license, please.
407
00:29:10,749 --> 00:29:13,251
- Anything in the baggage compartment?
- Just baggage.

Age 30, brown eyes, dark hair.

00:29:18,841 --> 00:29:20,216
Identifying marks, none.

00:29:20,884 --> 00:29:23,094
- Are you Charles Haskell Jr.?
- Yes.
411
00:29:23,178 --> 00:29:25,263
Well, remember, if you're employed,
and you stay over 30 days,
412
00:29:25,347 --> 00:29:27,223
you take out California plates.
413
00:29:27,307 --> 00:29:29,517
All right, Officer, but I'll only be
in the state a short while.
414
00:29:31,186 --> 00:29:32,270
Right. You can go now.
415
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:42,113
[Al narrating] I couldn't drive any farther
without some sleep.
416
00:29:42,197 --> 00:29:45,783
Cops or no cops, I knew
I had to hit the hay and hit it hard.
417
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,203
I was dead tired.

00:30:20,027 --> 00:30:20,943

No, you can't, Mr. Haskell.

[knocking continues]
427
00:30:59,358 --> 00:31:00,233
Who's there?
428
00:31:00,317 --> 00:31:02,610
It's the maid. Can I come in and clean?
429
00:31:03,820 --> 00:31:06,322
Later... in a half-hour.
430
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:07,490
All right, sir.
431
00:31:32,057 --> 00:31:33,599
[Al narrating] There was no time to lose.
432
00:31:33,684 --> 00:31:36,227
Every minute I had to be Charles Haskell
was dangerous.
433
00:31:36,311 --> 00:31:38,521
I'd have to be Charles Haskell
until I got to some city
434
00:31:38,605 --> 00:31:40,648
where I could leave the car
and be swallowed up.
435
00:31:46,238 --> 00:31:48,864
That meant driving the car
as far as San Bernardino,
436
00:31:48,949 --> 00:31:50,491
maybe even to Los Angeles.
437
00:31:50,576 --> 00:31:52,451
In a little town, I might be noticed.
438
00:31:52,536 --> 00:31:54,328
But in a city, I should be safe enough.
439
00:31:55,581 --> 00:31:58,666
Then, after I ditched the car,
I could go on to Sue.
440
00:31:59,585 --> 00:32:02,545
But those five minutes at the state line
made me realize
441
00:32:02,629 --> 00:32:05,631
it might be a good idea to find out
a little bit about Mr. Haskell.
442
00:32:06,633 --> 00:32:09,302
Then if anybody asked me questions,
I could give the right answers.
443
00:32:10,345 --> 00:32:13,806
The first thing I found out
was that I had $768.
444
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:17,768
This was a lot of jack, but believe me,
445
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:19,895
it was the kind of money
I'd rather not have.
446
00:32:27,446 --> 00:32:31,115
And then I found out from a letter
Haskell was carting around in his bag
447
00:32:31,199 --> 00:32:33,784
that he wasn't the openhanded,
easygoing big shot
448
00:32:33,869 --> 00:32:36,412
who went around buying dinners
for strange hitchhikers.
449
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:39,832
Before I got done reading it,
I saw him more as a chiseler.
450
00:32:41,209 --> 00:32:43,836
It was written
to his old man in California,
451
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,796
the one he hadn't seen in so many years.
452
00:32:46,590 --> 00:32:51,385
In it, Haskell posed as a salesman...
of hymnals, of all things.
453
00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:54,388
It was easy to see where Haskell expected
454
00:32:54,473 --> 00:32:56,849
to raise a new stake
for his book in Miami...
455
00:32:57,684 --> 00:32:59,143
by rooking his old man.
456
00:33:00,771 --> 00:33:03,689
That was about all I found out
from his effects.
457
00:33:03,774 --> 00:33:04,857
And it was enough.
458
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:09,737
I told myself maybe old man Haskell
was lucky his son kicked off.
459
00:33:10,864 --> 00:33:12,531
He would never know it,
460
00:33:12,616 --> 00:33:16,077
but it saved him from taking a flier
in sacred literature preferred.

462

Near the airport at Desert Center,
I pulled up for water.
463
00:33:45,607 --> 00:33:46,691
There was a woman.

How far are you going?
468
00:34:43,749 --> 00:34:46,792
[Al narrating] That took me by surprise.
I turned my head to look her over.
469
00:34:47,836 --> 00:34:50,588
She was facing straight ahead,
so I couldn't see her eyes.
470
00:34:51,006 --> 00:34:53,758
But she was young, not more than 24.
471
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:56,844
Man, she looked as if
she'd just been thrown off
472
00:34:56,928 --> 00:34:59,305
the crummiest freight train in the world.
473
00:35:00,140 --> 00:35:02,641
Yet, in spite of this,
I got the impression of beauty.
474
00:35:03,727 --> 00:35:06,020
Not the beauty of a movie actress,
mind you,
475
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,689
or the beauty you dream about
when you're with your wife,

00:35:08,774 --> 00:35:10,065
but a natural beauty,
477
00:35:10,567 --> 00:35:13,194
a beauty that's almost homely
because it's so real.
478
00:35:15,363 --> 00:35:17,114
Then, suddenly, she turned to face me.
479
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:20,409
- How far did you say you were going?
- Los Angeles.
480
00:35:20,494 --> 00:35:21,410
LA?
481
00:35:22,287 --> 00:35:25,790
- LA's good enough for me, mister.
- That's what I was afraid of.
482
00:35:25,874 --> 00:35:29,084
- What'd you say?
- Oh, nothing. Just thinking out loud.
483
00:35:29,169 --> 00:35:31,128
People get in trouble for doing that.
484
00:35:32,005 --> 00:35:34,715
- What's your name?
- You can call me Vera, if you like.
485
00:35:35,509 --> 00:35:37,176
- You live in Los Angeles?
- No.
486
00:35:39,054 --> 00:35:41,555
- Where you coming from?
- Oh, back there.
487
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,098
- Needles?
- No.
488
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:47,102
Oh, sure. Phoenix.
You look just like a Phoenix girl.
489
00:35:47,687 --> 00:35:49,855
- Are the girls in Phoenix that bad?
- [chuckles]
490
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:51,774
[Al narrating]
The girl must have been pretty tired
491
00:35:51,858 --> 00:35:54,944
because she fell asleep not 20 minutes
after she stepped into the car.
492
00:35:55,737 --> 00:35:59,782
She lay sprawled out with her head resting
against the far door, like Haskell.
493
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:03,452
I didn't like that part of it much,
but I didn't wake her up.
494
00:36:04,955 --> 00:36:06,872
It wasn't that this girl still worried me.
495
00:36:07,374 --> 00:36:10,376
I'd gotten over that funny feeling
I had when she looked at me,
496
00:36:10,460 --> 00:36:13,003
which I put down
as just my jangled nerves.
497
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:16,590
With her eyes closed
and the tenseness gone out of her,
498
00:36:16,675 --> 00:36:18,133
she seemed harmless enough.
499
00:36:18,885 --> 00:36:21,929
Instead of disliking her,
I began to feel sorry for her.
500
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:25,182
The poor kid probably
had had a rough time of it.
501
00:36:26,476 --> 00:36:27,977
Who was she, anyway?
502
00:36:28,061 --> 00:36:30,479
And why was she going to Los Angeles?
503
00:36:30,564 --> 00:36:32,898
And where'd she come from
in the first place?
504
00:36:32,983 --> 00:36:34,775
The only thing I knew about her
was her name.
505
00:36:35,777 --> 00:36:37,361
Not that it made any difference.
506
00:36:37,445 --> 00:36:39,738
A few hours more and we'd be in Hollywood.
507
00:36:39,823 --> 00:36:42,241
I'd forget where I parked the car
and look up Sue.
508
00:36:43,118 --> 00:36:45,286
This nightmare of being a dead man
would be over.
509
00:36:46,121 --> 00:36:48,831
Who this dame was, well,
it was no business of mine.
510
00:36:48,915 --> 00:36:52,918
Where did you leave his body?
Where did you leave the owner of this car?
511
00:36:53,003 --> 00:36:54,712
You're not fooling anyone.
512
00:36:55,297 --> 00:36:58,173
This buggy belongs to a guy named Haskell.
That's not you, mister.
513
00:36:58,258 --> 00:37:01,343
You're out of your mind. That's my name.
Charles Haskell. I can prove it.
514
00:37:01,428 --> 00:37:03,512
- Here's my driver's license.
- Save yourself the trouble, mister.
515
00:37:03,597 --> 00:37:05,848
Having Haskell's wallet
only makes it worse.
516
00:37:05,932 --> 00:37:08,017
It just so happens
I rode with Charlie Haskell
517
00:37:08,101 --> 00:37:09,685
all the way from Louisiana.
518
00:37:09,769 --> 00:37:11,854
He picked me up outside of Shreveport.
519
00:37:11,938 --> 00:37:13,564
- You rode...
- You heard me.
520
00:37:14,149 --> 00:37:15,983
[Al narrating] Then it all came back to me.
521
00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:18,652
All the talk about dueling
and scars and scratches.
522
00:37:19,613 --> 00:37:21,363
There was no doubt about it.
523
00:37:21,448 --> 00:37:23,949
Vera must be the woman
Haskell had mentioned.
524
00:37:24,034 --> 00:37:25,784
She must have passed me while I slept.
525
00:37:25,869 --> 00:37:28,871
Well? Well, I'm waiting.
526
00:37:28,955 --> 00:37:30,331
My goose was cooked.
527
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:32,082
She had me.
528
00:37:32,876 --> 00:37:34,668
That Haskell guy wasn't dead yet.
529
00:37:35,253 --> 00:37:38,172
He wasn't stretched out stiff and cold
in any Arizona gully.
530
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:41,425
He was sitting right there in the car,
laughing like mad while he haunted me.
531
00:37:43,345 --> 00:37:44,303
Well?
532
00:37:44,387 --> 00:37:47,514
There was nothing I could say.
It was her move.
533
00:37:48,224 --> 00:37:50,142
Vera, whatever her name was.
534
00:37:50,226 --> 00:37:52,478
It was just my luck
picking her up on the road.
535
00:37:53,313 --> 00:37:56,148
It couldn't have been Helen
or Mary or Evelyn or Ruth.
536
00:37:57,025 --> 00:37:59,526
It had to be the very last person
I should ever have met.
537
00:38:00,820 --> 00:38:01,820
That's life.
538
00:38:02,697 --> 00:38:05,491
Whichever way you turn,
fate sticks out a foot to trip you.
539
00:38:11,081 --> 00:38:13,457
I told her everything,
but she didn't believe my story.
540
00:38:13,541 --> 00:38:15,167
I should've saved my breath.
541
00:38:15,251 --> 00:38:17,670
That's the greatest cock-and-bull story
I ever heard.
542
00:38:17,754 --> 00:38:19,380
So he fell out of his car.
543
00:38:19,464 --> 00:38:21,507
Say, who do you think
you're talking to, a hick?
544
00:38:21,591 --> 00:38:23,592
Listen, mister. I've been around.
545
00:38:23,677 --> 00:38:27,054
And I know a wrong guy when I see one.
What'd you do, kiss him with a wrench?
546
00:38:27,138 --> 00:38:29,264
Now wait a minute.
What I told you was true.
547
00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:30,891
You see, that's why I had to do it.
548
00:38:30,976 --> 00:38:33,352
You think I killed him.
Well, the cops would've thought so too.
549
00:38:33,436 --> 00:38:35,187
Yeah, well maybe they still think so.
550
00:38:36,106 --> 00:38:38,482
What makes you so sure
I'll shut up about this?
551
00:38:38,566 --> 00:38:41,318
Vera, I'm innocent.
Give me a break, will you?
552
00:38:42,696 --> 00:38:44,488
It won't do me any good
having you pinched.
553
00:38:44,572 --> 00:38:46,115
The cops are no friends of mine.
554
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:49,076
Now, if there was a reward...
But there isn't.
555
00:38:49,703 --> 00:38:51,912
- Thanks.
- Don't thank me yet.
556
00:38:51,997 --> 00:38:55,332
I'm not through with you by a long shot.
Let's see that roll.
557
00:39:02,090 --> 00:39:03,674
Is that all Haskell had?
558
00:39:03,758 --> 00:39:05,509
- Isn't it enough?
- No, I thought he had more.
559
00:39:05,593 --> 00:39:07,845
Not that I know of. You can search me
if you think I'm holding out on you.
560
00:39:07,929 --> 00:39:09,596
Well, maybe I will at that.
561
00:39:09,681 --> 00:39:11,807
He told me he was gonna bet $3,000
562
00:39:11,891 --> 00:39:14,560
on a horse named Paradisiacal
on Wednesday at Santa Anita.
563
00:39:14,644 --> 00:39:16,979
- He was stringing you along. He meant 300.
- Maybe.
564
00:39:17,063 --> 00:39:20,357
Sure. Three bucks, 300.
He was a piece of cheese, a big blowhard.
565
00:39:20,442 --> 00:39:23,277
Listen, mister. Don't try and tell me
anything about Charlie Haskell.
566
00:39:23,361 --> 00:39:25,279
Remember, I knew him better than you did.
567
00:39:25,363 --> 00:39:28,073
Okay, then you knew he was a four-flusher.
That explains the three-grand bet.
568
00:39:28,158 --> 00:39:30,576
I'm not so sure
he didn't have that three grand.
569
00:39:30,660 --> 00:39:34,121
Why should I believe you?
You got all the earmarks of a cheap crook.
570
00:39:34,205 --> 00:39:35,622
- Now, wait a minute.
- Shut up.
571
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:37,207
You're a cheap crook and you killed him.
572
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:39,418
For two cents,
I'd change my mind and turn you in.
573
00:39:39,502 --> 00:39:40,794
I don't like you!
574
00:39:40,879 --> 00:39:43,338
- All right, all right. Don't get sore.
- I'm not getting sore.
575
00:39:43,423 --> 00:39:45,507
But just remember who's boss around here.
576
00:39:45,592 --> 00:39:47,134
If you shut up
and don't give me any arguments,
577
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:48,677
you'll have nothing to worry about.
578
00:39:48,762 --> 00:39:50,512
But if you act wise, well, mister,
579
00:39:50,597 --> 00:39:53,182
you'll pop into jail so fast
it'll give you the bends.
580
00:39:53,266 --> 00:39:55,059
- I'm not arguing.
- Well, see that you don't.
581
00:39:55,143 --> 00:39:56,477
You know, as crooked as you look,
582
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:59,605
I'd hate to see a fella as young as you
wind up sniffing that perfume
583
00:39:59,689 --> 00:40:01,482
that Arizona hands out free to murderers.
584
00:40:01,566 --> 00:40:03,233
- I'm not a murderer.
- Of course you're not.
585
00:40:03,318 --> 00:40:04,693
Haskell knocked his own head off.
586
00:40:04,778 --> 00:40:06,278
He fell. That's how it happened,
just like I told you.
587
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:08,530
Sure, and then he made you a present
of his belongings.
588
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:10,324
- I explained why...
- Oh, skip it.
589
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:13,118
Doesn't make a difference one way
or another. I'm not a mourner.
590
00:40:13,203 --> 00:40:15,412
I liked Haskell even less than I like you.
591
00:40:15,955 --> 00:40:17,372
Yeah, I saw what you did to him.
592
00:40:17,457 --> 00:40:19,541
- What do you mean?
- Those scratches on his wrists.
593
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:20,959
Sure, I scratched him.
594
00:40:21,961 --> 00:40:23,128
I'll say you did.
595
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:26,673
So your idea was
to drive the car a little way,
596
00:40:26,758 --> 00:40:28,967
maybe into San Bernardino,
and then leave it.
597
00:40:29,052 --> 00:40:30,385
You weren't gonna sell it?
598
00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:33,597
Sell it? You think I'm crazy?
Somebody else's car?
599
00:40:33,681 --> 00:40:36,266
All I wanna do is leave it somewhere
and forget I ever saw it.
600
00:40:36,351 --> 00:40:39,269
Not only don't you have any scruples,
you don't have any brains.
601
00:40:39,354 --> 00:40:42,022
- I don't get you.
- Maybe it's a good thing you met me.
602
00:40:42,107 --> 00:40:44,983
You would of got yourself caught, sure.
Why, you dope.
603
00:40:45,068 --> 00:40:48,362
Don't you know a deserted automobile
always rates an investigation?
604
00:40:48,696 --> 00:40:49,863
Huh?
605
00:40:49,948 --> 00:40:52,783
Look. The cops find a car.
Then they get curious.
606
00:40:52,867 --> 00:40:54,493
They wonder where the owner is.
607
00:40:54,577 --> 00:40:57,996
So, all right, they don't trace Haskell.
They trace you.
608
00:40:58,206 --> 00:40:59,790
I never thought of that.
609
00:40:59,874 --> 00:41:02,626
The only safe way to get rid of the car
is to sell it to a dealer,
610
00:41:02,710 --> 00:41:04,253
get it registered under a new name.
611
00:41:04,754 --> 00:41:06,004
Say, stop at the next store.
612
00:41:06,089 --> 00:41:08,882
I wanna get a bottle and do some shopping
before we hit LA.
613
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:12,219
Okay. Soon as we find a place,
I'll drop you off and pick you up later.
614
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:14,429
Nothin' doin'. You're coming in too.
615
00:41:14,514 --> 00:41:17,349
From now on,
you and I are like the Siamese twins.
616
00:41:17,433 --> 00:41:19,434
Have it your way,
but I don't get the point.
617
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:21,687
The point is I don't want you to get lost.
618
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:23,397
I'm not gonna beat it,
if that's what you're afraid of.
619
00:41:23,481 --> 00:41:24,648
I'll say you're not.
620
00:41:24,732 --> 00:41:27,568
Well, I'm gonna see that you sell this car
so you don't get caught.
621
00:41:27,652 --> 00:41:31,446
Thanks. Of course, your interest
wouldn't be financial, would it?
622
00:41:31,531 --> 00:41:33,699
You wouldn't want
a small percentage of the profits?
623
00:41:34,284 --> 00:41:37,202
Well, now that you insist,
how can I refuse?
624
00:41:37,287 --> 00:41:38,912
A hundred percent'll do.
625
00:41:38,997 --> 00:41:40,873
Fine. I'm relieved.
626
00:41:40,957 --> 00:41:43,208
I thought for a moment
you were gonna take it all.
627
00:41:43,293 --> 00:41:44,710
I don't want to be a hog.
628
00:41:46,588 --> 00:41:48,672
[Al narrating] A few hours later,
we were in Hollywood.
629
00:41:49,090 --> 00:41:51,466
I was recognizing places
Sue had written about.
630
00:41:52,051 --> 00:41:55,012
It struck me that,
far from being at the end of the trip,
631
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:58,098
there was a greater distance between Sue
and me than when I started out.
632
00:41:59,434 --> 00:42:02,060
Vera wasn't kidding
with that Siamese twins crack.
633
00:42:02,687 --> 00:42:06,106
She rented a little apartment
as Mrs. Charles Haskell.
634
00:42:07,025 --> 00:42:10,110
When I objected to this, she explained
that it was on account of the car.
635
00:42:10,612 --> 00:42:12,154
A dealer might think something was funny
636
00:42:12,238 --> 00:42:14,531
if he called and found
we were using different names.
637
00:42:19,704 --> 00:42:21,538
- Home, sweet home.
- Yeah.
638
00:42:22,457 --> 00:42:23,498
Not bad, either.
639
00:42:31,466 --> 00:42:33,842
In case there's any doubt in your mind,
I'll take the bedroom.
640
00:42:34,302 --> 00:42:35,177
Yeah.
641
00:42:36,471 --> 00:42:37,846
Sure is stuffy in here.
642
00:42:45,980 --> 00:42:47,689
- Keep the window shut.
- Okay.
643
00:42:50,026 --> 00:42:53,487
The old crow downstairs said
there's a folding bed behind this door.
644
00:42:59,535 --> 00:43:00,702
You know how to work it?
645
00:43:04,457 --> 00:43:05,540
I invented it.
646
00:43:09,504 --> 00:43:11,630
- Some joint.
- One can't have everything.
647
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,387
I'm first in the bathtub.
648
00:43:19,180 --> 00:43:22,140
I don't know why,
but I figured you would be.
649
00:43:31,985 --> 00:43:35,570
Boy, oh, boy. [sighs]
It sure feels good to be clean again.
650
00:43:36,948 --> 00:43:38,407
I must be ten pounds lighter.
651
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:40,450
You must be.
652
00:43:40,535 --> 00:43:42,077
[saxophone playing]
653
00:43:42,161 --> 00:43:45,372
Well, hitchin' rides isn't exactly the way
you keep your schoolgirl complexion.
654
00:43:49,585 --> 00:43:51,712
I wish that guy with the sax
would give up.
655
00:43:53,089 --> 00:43:54,423
It gets on my nerves.
656
00:43:56,509 --> 00:43:57,509
Forget it.
657
00:44:00,138 --> 00:44:01,179
Have a drink.
658
00:44:02,390 --> 00:44:04,141
Aren't you afraid
I'm gonna take you up on it?
659
00:44:06,269 --> 00:44:08,562
If I didn't wanna give you a drink,
I wouldn't have offered it.
660
00:44:09,731 --> 00:44:12,983
Why be a sorehead, Roberts?
You got yourself into this thing.
661
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:15,902
You should be grateful
I'm not turning you in.
662
00:44:16,904 --> 00:44:19,114
Why, if I wasn't regular,
you'd be in the pen this minute
663
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:22,284
being photographed, fingerprinted,
and being pushed around by the cops.
664
00:44:23,077 --> 00:44:25,620
So cheer up. Get rid of that long puss.
665
00:44:27,874 --> 00:44:29,666
Or is your conscience bothering you?
666
00:44:34,672 --> 00:44:35,505
No.
667
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:37,382
It isn't.
668
00:44:37,467 --> 00:44:39,468
Swell. That's the spirit.
669
00:44:41,012 --> 00:44:43,180
He's dead,
and no moaning around will bring him back.
670
00:44:46,684 --> 00:44:50,312
Anyway, I never could understand this worrying
about something that's over and done with.
671
00:44:50,396 --> 00:44:52,439
Now look, Vera.
For the last time, I didn't kill him.
672
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:53,982
Haskell was a sick man.
673
00:44:54,067 --> 00:44:56,109
Maybe he was dead before he fell
out of the car. I don't know.
674
00:44:56,194 --> 00:44:58,403
Sure, sure. He died of old age.
675
00:44:59,364 --> 00:45:00,364
All right.
676
00:45:01,324 --> 00:45:02,824
So if it'll make you sociable...
677
00:45:04,577 --> 00:45:05,827
you didn't kill him.
678
00:45:16,464 --> 00:45:17,297
Thanks.
679
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:31,186
- We're outta liquor, Roberts.
- Yeah.
680
00:45:32,313 --> 00:45:35,440
Too bad.
I felt like getting tight tonight.
681
00:45:35,525 --> 00:45:37,567
Well, I think you succeeded.
682
00:45:37,652 --> 00:45:40,737
- Am I tight?
- As a prima donna's corset.
683
00:45:40,822 --> 00:45:42,197
- That's good.
- [glass clatters]
684
00:45:42,281 --> 00:45:44,074
I wanted to get tight.
685
00:45:44,158 --> 00:45:46,785
Why? What have you got to get tight about?
686
00:45:46,869 --> 00:45:49,246
Oh, I don't know. A few things.
687
00:45:50,123 --> 00:45:50,956
[Al] Huh.
688
00:45:52,583 --> 00:45:54,042
You should have my worries.
689
00:45:54,127 --> 00:45:56,670
If I had your troubles, I'd stay sober.
690
00:45:56,754 --> 00:45:58,380
And I've got the key to that door.
691
00:46:01,926 --> 00:46:04,678
Yeah. Maybe you're right.
692
00:46:04,762 --> 00:46:06,388
I'm always right.
693
00:46:07,723 --> 00:46:10,183
You know, I don't like your attitude,
Roberts.
694
00:46:10,268 --> 00:46:12,018
Well, there's a lot of things I don't like.
695
00:46:13,479 --> 00:46:14,813
Say...
696
00:46:17,191 --> 00:46:19,276
But life's like a ball game.
697
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,111
You got to take a swing
at whatever comes along
698
00:46:21,195 --> 00:46:23,613
before you wake up
and find it's the ninth inning.
699
00:46:24,532 --> 00:46:25,782
Bet you read that somewhere.
700
00:46:25,867 --> 00:46:29,703
That's the trouble with you, Roberts.
All you do is bellyache.
701
00:46:30,788 --> 00:46:35,500
You could have taken it easy and,
well, try and make the best of things.
702
00:46:35,585 --> 00:46:38,378
But maybe that's what's wrong
with the whole world.
703
00:46:38,463 --> 00:46:40,297
Get the professor.
704
00:46:40,381 --> 00:46:43,133
People knock themselves out
trying to buck fate.
705
00:46:43,217 --> 00:46:46,386
Now take you, for instance.
You're lucky to be alive.
706
00:46:46,471 --> 00:46:49,055
Why, suppose Haskell had pulled open
your door?
707
00:46:49,140 --> 00:46:51,850
You'd be playing a harp now.
Think of that.
708
00:46:53,603 --> 00:46:56,855
You think of it. I'm tired of thinking.
709
00:46:56,939 --> 00:46:59,816
There's plenty of people dying this minute
710
00:46:59,901 --> 00:47:02,402
that would give anything
to trade places with you.
711
00:47:04,363 --> 00:47:05,989
I know what I'm talking about.
712
00:47:07,033 --> 00:47:10,744
I'm not so sure.
At least they know they're done for.
713
00:47:10,828 --> 00:47:13,580
They don't just sweat blood
wondering if they are.
714
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:16,750
Your philosophy stinks, pal.
715
00:47:18,002 --> 00:47:21,796
We all know we're gonna kick off someday.
It's only a question of when.
716
00:47:23,591 --> 00:47:26,551
But what got us on this subject anyway?
717
00:47:26,636 --> 00:47:28,553
We'll be discussing politics next.
718
00:47:29,388 --> 00:47:30,472
Yeah.
719
00:47:32,058 --> 00:47:33,433
Where'd you hide the butts?
720
00:47:34,310 --> 00:47:35,936
On the table, sucker.
721
00:47:43,611 --> 00:47:47,113
[Al narrating] We bored each other with
conversation for a couple of hours longer.
722
00:47:47,198 --> 00:47:50,408
Every five minutes, one of us was wishing
we had another bottle or a radio
723
00:47:50,493 --> 00:47:52,118
or something to read.
724
00:47:53,538 --> 00:47:55,247
Then finally we ran out of chat.
725
00:47:56,207 --> 00:47:57,499
I know it's only eleven o'clock,
726
00:47:57,583 --> 00:48:00,085
but I want to get up early
and make the rounds to the used car lots.
727
00:48:00,169 --> 00:48:03,088
No hurry about that.
We got all the time in the world.
728
00:48:03,172 --> 00:48:05,257
Maybe you have, but if you think
I want to stay cooped up in this place
729
00:48:05,341 --> 00:48:06,925
any longer than I have to, you're batty.
730
00:48:07,009 --> 00:48:10,262
It's not a bad place. Pay plenty
for diggings like this in New York.
731
00:48:10,346 --> 00:48:12,347
I wouldn't like it if it was the Ritz.
732
00:48:12,431 --> 00:48:14,849
[coughs]
733
00:48:16,602 --> 00:48:18,144
Rotten liquor. [coughs]
734
00:48:18,229 --> 00:48:20,981
You got a mean cough.
Ought to do something about it.
735
00:48:21,065 --> 00:48:22,315
I'll be all right.
736
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,817
That's what Camille said.
737
00:48:24,527 --> 00:48:25,652
Who?
738
00:48:25,736 --> 00:48:27,195
Nobody you know.
739
00:48:30,908 --> 00:48:33,368
- Wasn't that the dame that died of consumption?
- Yeah.
740
00:48:34,704 --> 00:48:37,289
Wouldn't it be a break for you
if I did kick off.
741
00:48:37,373 --> 00:48:40,333
You'd be free
with all Haskell's dough and car.
742
00:48:40,418 --> 00:48:42,043
I don't want to see anybody die.
743
00:48:43,212 --> 00:48:44,921
Not even me?
744
00:48:45,006 --> 00:48:48,008
Especially not you. One person died on me.
745
00:48:48,092 --> 00:48:50,510
If you did, well, that's all I need.
746
00:48:52,388 --> 00:48:54,222
You don't like me, do you, Roberts?
747
00:48:55,933 --> 00:48:56,975
Like you?
748
00:48:58,352 --> 00:48:59,769
I love you.
749
00:49:01,022 --> 00:49:02,981
My favorite sport is being kept prisoner.
750
00:49:04,025 --> 00:49:07,485
After we sell the car, you can go to blazes
for all I care, but not until then.
751
00:49:14,910 --> 00:49:16,536
I'm going to bed.
752
00:49:24,962 --> 00:49:26,463
Good night, Roberts.
753
00:49:26,547 --> 00:49:29,549
Don't try and sneak away during the night.
All the doors are locked.
754
00:49:29,634 --> 00:49:33,136
Anyway, if I find you gone in the morning,
I'll notify the police.
755
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:35,889
- They'll pick you up.
- Don't worry. I know when I'm in a spot.
756
00:49:36,974 --> 00:49:40,935
Well, good night. I hope that portable
rack isn't too uncomfortable for you.
757
00:49:41,020 --> 00:49:43,146
Don't lose any sleep over it,
will you, Vera?
758
00:49:44,940 --> 00:49:47,025
[key scratching lock]
759
00:50:20,601 --> 00:50:21,935
[softly] CRestview...
760
00:50:23,813 --> 00:50:29,651
6... 5... 7,
761
00:50:29,735 --> 00:50:32,654
[whispers] 2... 3.
762
00:50:33,948 --> 00:50:35,073
Hello?
763
00:50:36,117 --> 00:50:37,117
Hello!
764
00:50:38,327 --> 00:50:39,411
Hello?
765
00:50:40,579 --> 00:50:41,746
Hello?
766
00:50:48,295 --> 00:50:51,881
No. Not yet, darling.
767
00:50:53,134 --> 00:50:54,509
Tomorrow.
768
00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:56,928
Maybe.
769
00:51:00,391 --> 00:51:01,891
[Al narrating] if this were fiction,
770
00:51:01,976 --> 00:51:05,562
I would fall in love with her, marry her,
and make a respectable woman of her,
771
00:51:05,646 --> 00:51:09,816
or else she'd make some supreme,
class-A sacrifice for me and die.
772
00:51:11,152 --> 00:51:13,361
Sue and I would ball a little
over her grave
773
00:51:13,446 --> 00:51:16,448
and make some crack about
"there's good in all of us."
774
00:51:16,532 --> 00:51:20,160
But Vera, unfortunately,
was just as rotten in the morning
775
00:51:20,244 --> 00:51:21,870
as she'd been the night before.
776
00:51:21,954 --> 00:51:23,455
[knocking]
777
00:51:23,539 --> 00:51:25,415
All right, all right, I'm coming.
778
00:51:25,499 --> 00:51:27,459
[Al] Look, Vera, it's almost noon.
779
00:51:29,003 --> 00:51:31,254
So what?
The dealers will be there all day.
780
00:51:31,338 --> 00:51:34,007
They'll be there all year too, but it
doesn't mean I'm gonna wait that long.
781
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:36,551
Shut up.
You're making noises like a husband.
782
00:51:39,180 --> 00:51:42,932
- Well, do I rate a whistle?
- You sure do, but let's go.
783
00:51:43,017 --> 00:51:46,519
Let's go, let's go. I spend 85 bucks
and two hours preparing bait,
784
00:51:46,604 --> 00:51:48,188
and all you can say is "Let's go."
785
00:51:48,272 --> 00:51:51,274
[sighs] Come on.
786
00:51:56,071 --> 00:51:58,698
We passed a few used car lots
last night down this way.
787
00:51:58,783 --> 00:52:00,784
What do you think
we can get for this heap?
788
00:52:00,868 --> 00:52:04,496
I don't know. Plenty.
You just let me handle everything.
789
00:52:04,580 --> 00:52:06,206
You think we can get $2,000?
790
00:52:06,290 --> 00:52:07,707
I don't know. But don't worry.
791
00:52:07,792 --> 00:52:10,126
I'll squeeze as much
out of this guy as I can.
792
00:52:10,211 --> 00:52:13,296
If I let it go cheap without a fight,
he might think we've stolen the car.
793
00:52:13,380 --> 00:52:17,675
And listen, don't make any slips
and call me Roberts. That'll cook us.
794
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,636
I don't need you to tell me that.
795
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:21,930
You better just sit by
and keep your mouth closed.
796
00:52:22,014 --> 00:52:24,015
Remember, we're both in the soup
if anything happens.
797
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:25,642
Forget it and drive.
798
00:52:25,726 --> 00:52:28,144
You're my wife... Vera Haskell.
799
00:52:28,229 --> 00:52:32,315
Look, after the deal's closed, let's go
back to that place on Hollywood Boulevard
800
00:52:32,399 --> 00:52:33,942
where I saw the fur jacket.
801
00:52:34,026 --> 00:52:35,235
I want to buy it.
802
00:52:35,319 --> 00:52:37,987
After the deal's closed,
I'm saying good-bye to you.
803
00:52:38,072 --> 00:52:41,491
That's right. I forgot.
I guess I'm getting kind of used to you.
804
00:52:42,743 --> 00:52:45,036
Well, that's a habit
you can start breaking.
805
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,455
Let's try this place
in the middle of the block.
806
00:52:53,671 --> 00:52:55,129
Good afternoon. What can I do for you?
807
00:52:55,214 --> 00:52:58,508
- We're interested in selling a car.
- If the price is right.
808
00:53:01,387 --> 00:53:05,473
Well, if it's in good mechanical condition,
it should blue book for about 1,600.
809
00:53:06,475 --> 00:53:07,892
Tony, take a look at this motor.
810
00:53:07,977 --> 00:53:10,228
1,600. Are you kidding?
811
00:53:14,108 --> 00:53:15,900
[car hood opening]
812
00:53:21,448 --> 00:53:23,283
Well, maybe 1,850.
813
00:53:23,367 --> 00:53:26,744
Before I let it go for 1,850, I'll wreck it
and collect the insurance first.
814
00:53:26,829 --> 00:53:27,912
[coughs]
815
00:53:31,375 --> 00:53:33,376
Lady, this motor's seen a lot of driving.
816
00:53:39,925 --> 00:53:43,219
[Al narrating] While the mechanic
inspected the car, we haggled.
817
00:53:43,721 --> 00:53:46,973
At last, when we were all worn out,
we hit a compromise...
818
00:53:47,057 --> 00:53:48,600
his price.
819
00:53:51,896 --> 00:53:53,104
Okay, it's a deal.
820
00:53:53,188 --> 00:53:56,524
- Come in, we'll sign the papers.
- I have the ownership papers here with me.
821
00:53:56,609 --> 00:53:59,319
Look, Vera, in the meantime,
will you clean out the dash compartment?
822
00:53:59,403 --> 00:54:02,196
- There may be some stuff in it.
- All right, darling.
823
00:54:04,325 --> 00:54:06,534
1,850 bucks.
824
00:54:06,619 --> 00:54:08,244
That dirty cr...
825
00:54:15,544 --> 00:54:17,420
- Mm, New York, huh?
- Yeah.
826
00:54:17,504 --> 00:54:20,757
- But you bought the car in Miami?
- Yeah.
827
00:54:20,841 --> 00:54:22,467
Well, now, let's see about the insurance.
828
00:54:22,551 --> 00:54:24,552
We can either have it transferred
or canceled.
829
00:54:24,637 --> 00:54:27,263
Uh, what kind of insurance do you have,
Mr. Haskell?
830
00:54:28,432 --> 00:54:31,559
Well, uh, aren't all the papers there?
831
00:54:33,729 --> 00:54:37,857
I don't see any. Surely you know what type
of insurance you carry on the car.
832
00:54:37,942 --> 00:54:39,442
The name of the company?
833
00:54:40,277 --> 00:54:41,486
Yeah, but, uh...
834
00:54:41,570 --> 00:54:43,321
Well, if you'll just tell me
the name of the company,
835
00:54:43,405 --> 00:54:45,114
I'd be very glad to take care
of all the details.
836
00:54:45,199 --> 00:54:46,324
Well...
837
00:54:46,408 --> 00:54:48,409
- Did you sign the papers yet?
- Not yet.
838
00:54:48,494 --> 00:54:50,536
Well, don't. We're not selling the car.
839
00:54:50,621 --> 00:54:52,538
- Well, wait a minute, Mrs. Haskell...
- Come on, darling.
840
00:54:52,623 --> 00:54:55,917
- What's the matter? Change your mind?
- Yes. I'm sorry. I guess I have.
841
00:54:56,001 --> 00:54:57,377
- But, Vera...
- Let's go.
842
00:55:03,384 --> 00:55:06,636
You got me out of a tight spot, Vera,
but I still don't understand all this.
843
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:09,722
You will in a minute.
I almost threw away a gold mine.
844
00:55:09,807 --> 00:55:13,726
1,850 isn't to be sneezed at. The car
doesn't book for as much as I thought.
845
00:55:13,811 --> 00:55:15,478
We're not selling the car.
846
00:55:15,562 --> 00:55:17,438
You want to keep it?
Now wait a minute, Vera.
847
00:55:17,523 --> 00:55:20,608
You said yourself I wouldn't be safe
until the car was in someone else's name.
848
00:55:20,693 --> 00:55:22,360
I'd like to be free of this mess
when I go.
849
00:55:22,444 --> 00:55:24,612
That's just it, Roberts. You're not going.
850
00:55:25,531 --> 00:55:27,365
- [sighs]
- There's a drive-in at the next corner.
851
00:55:27,449 --> 00:55:30,201
Pull in there and we'll get a bite to eat
and I'll explain.
852
00:55:30,285 --> 00:55:32,453
What is this,
another one of your brilliant ideas?
853
00:55:38,794 --> 00:55:41,671
- Hello. May I take your order?
- Make mine a ham sandwich and coffee.
854
00:55:41,755 --> 00:55:44,340
- And for you, sir?
- Oh, I don't care. The same.
855
00:55:46,510 --> 00:55:47,719
Thank you.
856
00:55:52,224 --> 00:55:55,226
Get this, Vera,
I've been pretty patient so far.
857
00:55:55,310 --> 00:55:57,311
I've done everything you asked me to do,
but no more.
858
00:55:57,396 --> 00:55:59,564
- Shut up.
- You've taken Haskell's money.
859
00:55:59,648 --> 00:56:01,524
And you can have the dough we get
from selling the car,
860
00:56:01,608 --> 00:56:03,192
but you're not gonna keep me a prisoner.
861
00:56:03,277 --> 00:56:05,069
It's a good thing I bought the paper.
Look at that.
862
00:56:05,154 --> 00:56:07,030
- Vera, I'm in no mood...
- Read that.
863
00:56:17,708 --> 00:56:19,292
- No.
- Yes.
864
00:56:19,376 --> 00:56:20,960
- No, I won't do it.
- Yes, you will.
865
00:56:21,045 --> 00:56:23,254
You think I'm crazy.
It's impossible, I tell ya.
866
00:56:24,131 --> 00:56:25,173
Excuse me.
867
00:56:30,637 --> 00:56:32,138
Blow the horn when you're through.
868
00:56:35,350 --> 00:56:38,561
No one could possibly get away with an act
like that. Be wise to me in a minute.
869
00:56:38,645 --> 00:56:39,812
Don't be yellow.
870
00:56:39,897 --> 00:56:42,690
You look enough like him.
The same coloring and the same build.
871
00:56:42,775 --> 00:56:44,358
See how his clothes fit ya?
872
00:56:44,443 --> 00:56:46,235
No kidding. You almost
had me fooled for a while.
873
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:47,528
Oh, grow up, Vera.
874
00:56:47,613 --> 00:56:50,406
Don't you think a father knows his own
son? There must be other relatives.
875
00:56:50,491 --> 00:56:53,326
The father won't have to know ya.
We'll wait till he gives up the ghost.
876
00:56:53,410 --> 00:56:55,411
He's an old geezer
and he won't pull through.
877
00:56:55,496 --> 00:56:59,373
And as far as the relatives are concerned,
they haven't seen you in 15 or 20 years.
878
00:57:00,876 --> 00:57:02,585
- Eat.
- I'm not hungry.
879
00:57:03,253 --> 00:57:06,130
- And I won't do it.
- It's not as tough as it sounds.
880
00:57:06,215 --> 00:57:08,049
Remember, you've got
all kinds of identification...
881
00:57:08,133 --> 00:57:09,133
his car, letters, license...
882
00:57:09,218 --> 00:57:11,761
I could never get away with it.
It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
883
00:57:11,845 --> 00:57:13,888
The old boy has scads of dough.
884
00:57:13,972 --> 00:57:17,141
Look in the paper there. Personal fortune
assessed at over 15 million.
885
00:57:17,226 --> 00:57:18,684
He'll leave plenty, I tell ya.
886
00:57:18,769 --> 00:57:20,937
Maybe he cut off his son.
How do we know?
887
00:57:21,021 --> 00:57:23,606
It's out, Vera.
I won't have anything to do with it.
888
00:57:24,817 --> 00:57:27,068
I think you will.
889
00:57:27,152 --> 00:57:30,696
Look, Vera, I'll do anything
within reason, but not that.
890
00:57:30,781 --> 00:57:32,698
So forget it or find yourself another stooge.
891
00:57:32,783 --> 00:57:34,033
You sap!
892
00:57:34,785 --> 00:57:36,911
You'll be fixed for the rest of your life
as Charlie Haskell.
893
00:57:36,995 --> 00:57:40,081
You can take your inheritance and go away.
No more worrying about the rent.
894
00:57:40,165 --> 00:57:42,291
No sweating, scheming, wondering
where your next meal's coming from!
895
00:57:42,376 --> 00:57:43,417
Think about that, Roberts!
896
00:57:43,502 --> 00:57:46,295
Vera, please. You're talking too loud.
897
00:57:46,713 --> 00:57:49,298
On this I'm splitting 50-50 with you.
Sure, why not?
898
00:57:49,383 --> 00:57:51,050
We're both alike.
Both born in the same gutter.
899
00:57:51,135 --> 00:57:52,301
Now take it easy, Vera.
900
00:57:52,386 --> 00:57:54,637
There's people around here.
You don't know what you're talking...
901
00:57:55,806 --> 00:57:59,684
We'll wait till we read that old man
Haskell's dead. Then you show up.
902
00:57:59,768 --> 00:58:02,061
Like you read in New York
that he was sick.
903
00:58:02,146 --> 00:58:04,772
No! Suppose he doesn't die?
904
00:58:04,857 --> 00:58:06,941
He will. I know he will.
Something tells me.
905
00:58:09,611 --> 00:58:12,405
[Al narrating] But as much as I insisted
I would have no part of her scheme,
906
00:58:12,489 --> 00:58:14,448
Vera was taking it for granted I would.
907
00:58:16,535 --> 00:58:19,954
Neither of us had our mind on the cards
as we played that night.
908
00:58:20,038 --> 00:58:23,207
I knew we were just trying to kill time
between newspaper editions.
909
00:58:24,042 --> 00:58:26,002
This was a deathwatch for Vera.
910
00:58:27,129 --> 00:58:28,713
Maybe it was for me too.
911
00:58:28,797 --> 00:58:32,383
Don't you realize if I'm caught they'll want
to know where I got the car and stuff?
912
00:58:32,467 --> 00:58:35,595
- Then they'll have me on a murder charge.
- If you're smart, you won't get caught.
913
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:37,054
I knock with seven.
914
00:58:37,139 --> 00:58:39,348
And if I'm caught,
don't you realize you'll be out too?
915
00:58:39,808 --> 00:58:42,935
Eighteen points. That gives me 30.
916
00:58:44,188 --> 00:58:45,438
How will I be out?
917
00:58:45,522 --> 00:58:47,982
You'll be out $1,850 we would have gotten
on the car.
918
00:58:48,066 --> 00:58:49,483
Really, Vera, you'd be an awful chump
919
00:58:49,568 --> 00:58:51,569
if you threw away all that dough
on a dizzy long shot.
920
00:58:51,653 --> 00:58:52,904
Let me sell the bus tomorrow.
921
00:58:52,988 --> 00:58:54,655
With the money it'll bring
and what you've already got,
922
00:58:54,740 --> 00:58:56,449
a clever kid like you
can run it up in no time.
923
00:58:56,533 --> 00:58:59,035
- Then we'd both be in the clear.
- I'll be in the clear anyway.
924
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:00,912
Maybe. Maybe.
925
00:59:00,996 --> 00:59:02,580
But if I got caught...
926
00:59:03,540 --> 00:59:06,083
- I'd get good and sore at you, you know.
- You mean you'd squeal?
927
00:59:06,168 --> 00:59:08,377
- Well, no, not squeal exactly...
- Never mind what you meant!
928
00:59:11,048 --> 00:59:14,425
Even if you did tell the cops
I was in on it with you,
929
00:59:14,509 --> 00:59:15,885
what could they do to me?
930
00:59:16,929 --> 00:59:19,347
They might give me the same medicine
they gave you.
931
00:59:19,431 --> 00:59:21,140
- Yeah.
- A rope.
932
00:59:23,644 --> 00:59:25,770
But I'm on my way anyhow.
933
00:59:27,731 --> 00:59:29,732
All they'll be doing will be rushing it.
934
00:59:30,359 --> 00:59:32,818
All right. But think of the 1,850 you'd lose.
935
00:59:32,903 --> 00:59:35,655
You'd kick yourself along the block
if you let that get away from you.
936
00:59:35,739 --> 00:59:38,658
I'll take the chance. Want another drink?
937
00:59:38,742 --> 00:59:41,744
You're being a goon. That's the way
people wind up behind the eight ball.
938
00:59:41,828 --> 00:59:44,330
Once they get a few dollars,
they become greedy and want more.
939
00:59:44,414 --> 00:59:45,706
My, my.
940
00:59:45,791 --> 00:59:46,791
- Caesar.
- Who?
941
00:59:46,875 --> 00:59:49,585
You know, that Roman general?
He got his for being greedy.
942
00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:52,838
He wasn't satisfied.
So the final windup was he took the count.
943
00:59:52,923 --> 00:59:55,299
A couple of days ago you didn't have a dime.
944
00:59:55,384 --> 00:59:58,219
Why, you were so broke
you couldn't pay cash for a postage stamp.
945
00:59:58,303 --> 01:00:01,347
Now you've got almost $700,
with 1,850 in the offing.
946
01:00:01,431 --> 01:00:03,099
Take my advice. Don't try for more.
947
01:00:03,183 --> 01:00:05,768
I'm tired of this game.
Let's have some blackjack.
948
01:00:05,852 --> 01:00:06,686
Play solitaire.
949
01:00:06,770 --> 01:00:09,313
- I will, if that's the way you feel about it.
- That's the way I feel about it.
950
01:00:09,398 --> 01:00:11,607
Getting sore and throwing things
won't help much, Roberts.
951
01:00:11,692 --> 01:00:15,111
I'm merely doing you a favor. I help you out of
a jam by keepin' my mouth shut.
952
01:00:15,195 --> 01:00:18,072
I show you how to make some soft money,
and what thanks do I get?
953
01:00:18,156 --> 01:00:19,156
- Thanks?
- Sure.
954
01:00:19,241 --> 01:00:21,659
Or would you rather I called the cops and told
them you killed a man and stole his money?
955
01:00:21,743 --> 01:00:22,827
- I didn't kill anybody.
- Yes, you did.
956
01:00:22,911 --> 01:00:25,705
- No, I didn't. You know I didn't.
- All right, then.
957
01:00:28,542 --> 01:00:30,251
Suppose I call the cops?
958
01:00:30,335 --> 01:00:32,920
If you're innocent,
what do you got to be scared of?
959
01:00:33,005 --> 01:00:36,590
Okay, call 'em, you mutt. Go ahead and call 'em.
See if I care.
960
01:00:36,675 --> 01:00:39,552
- At least they'll give me a square deal.
- You want me to call 'em?
961
01:00:39,636 --> 01:00:43,597
You heard me. But I'm warning ya.
If I'm pinched, I'll swear you were in on it.
962
01:00:43,682 --> 01:00:46,976
I'll say that you helped me.
If I'm frying, I'll get even with you.
963
01:00:47,060 --> 01:00:48,686
You wouldn't dare. You're chicken!
964
01:00:48,770 --> 01:00:52,815
Yeah? Then try it and see.
Call 'em. Yeah.
965
01:00:53,650 --> 01:00:55,067
Okay, I will.
966
01:00:57,112 --> 01:01:00,489
[dialing]
967
01:01:07,706 --> 01:01:09,915
Information.
968
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,835
I want the number
of the Hollywood police station.
969
01:01:14,713 --> 01:01:16,756
Okay, I got it. Thanks.
970
01:01:17,966 --> 01:01:19,592
[phone hook clicks]
971
01:01:19,676 --> 01:01:21,677
- [dialing]
- Wait a minute, Vera. You wouldn't do that.
972
01:01:21,762 --> 01:01:23,721
Oh, wouldn't I? Give me that
and I'll show you if I would!
973
01:01:23,805 --> 01:01:25,681
Take it easy now. Let's talk this over.
974
01:01:25,766 --> 01:01:27,558
[Al narrating]
This was early in the evening.
975
01:01:27,642 --> 01:01:32,146
And the conversation, while hectic,
was at least pitched low.
976
01:01:32,230 --> 01:01:36,776
But as the minutes passed and more obstacles
to her plan popped into my head,
977
01:01:36,860 --> 01:01:38,486
the air got blue.
978
01:01:38,570 --> 01:01:41,822
Each word coming from our lips
cracked like a whip.
979
01:01:41,907 --> 01:01:45,785
I reminded her that as Charles Haskell
I didn't even know my mother's name,
980
01:01:45,869 --> 01:01:47,578
where I'd gone to school,
981
01:01:47,662 --> 01:01:49,413
the name of my best friend,
982
01:01:49,498 --> 01:01:51,415
whether I had an Aunt Emma or not,
983
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:54,794
my religion, and if I'd ever owned a dog.
984
01:01:54,878 --> 01:01:57,463
I didn't even know
what my middle initial stood for.
985
01:01:57,547 --> 01:02:00,925
I also pointed out that the real Haskell
had a scar on his forearm.
986
01:02:01,510 --> 01:02:03,302
His people never saw that scar.
987
01:02:03,387 --> 01:02:05,596
He told me he ran away
right after putting out the kid's eye.
988
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,140
Yeah, but his father knew he was cut.
There'd have to be some kind of mark.
989
01:02:08,225 --> 01:02:10,434
So what?
990
01:02:10,519 --> 01:02:14,438
The old man's dead or will be.
I hope by tomorrow morning's papers.
991
01:02:14,523 --> 01:02:18,025
Anyway, you could cut yourself
a little, couldn't ya?
992
01:02:19,027 --> 01:02:22,321
Boy, for that kind of dough,
I'd let you cut my leg off.
993
01:02:22,406 --> 01:02:23,989
You're drunk and you're crazy mad, Vera.
994
01:02:24,074 --> 01:02:26,033
Turn me in if you want to,
but I won't get mixed up in this.
995
01:02:26,118 --> 01:02:28,160
Besides, how do we know?
Haskell was such a phony.
996
01:02:28,245 --> 01:02:30,371
Maybe he wasn't the man's son at all.
Maybe he just dreamed it up.
997
01:02:30,455 --> 01:02:35,918
Well, dreaming or not, you won't be dreaming
when the law taps you on the shoulder.
998
01:02:36,002 --> 01:02:39,588
There's a cute little gas chamber
waiting for you, Roberts.
999
01:02:39,673 --> 01:02:43,134
And I hear extradition to Arizona's a cinch.
1000
01:02:43,218 --> 01:02:45,052
Where's that phone?
1001
01:02:45,137 --> 01:02:46,512
- Vera.
- Leave me alone!
1002
01:02:46,596 --> 01:02:50,057
- Vera!
- I wanna phone, call the police.
1003
01:02:50,767 --> 01:02:54,812
I hate you, you stinker.
You leave me alone!
1004
01:02:54,896 --> 01:02:57,106
I'll let you alone when you promise to leave
the phone where it is.
1005
01:02:57,190 --> 01:02:59,150
- You're drunk. You don't know what you're doing.
- You're hurting me.
1006
01:02:59,234 --> 01:03:00,860
Will you promise?
1007
01:03:00,944 --> 01:03:02,528
All right.
1008
01:03:07,492 --> 01:03:10,327
- You hurt me.
- I'm sorry, but...
1009
01:03:10,412 --> 01:03:13,372
- And it's hot in here! Open up a window!
- It's not hot!
1010
01:03:13,457 --> 01:03:16,125
Don't tell me!
Now do you do it or do I do it?
1011
01:03:18,086 --> 01:03:19,837
You're no gentleman, see?
1012
01:03:19,921 --> 01:03:23,299
Yeah. All right, I'll open up the window.
1013
01:03:26,428 --> 01:03:27,511
Vera!
1014
01:03:31,892 --> 01:03:34,643
Vera, open the door.
Please open the door.
1015
01:03:34,728 --> 01:03:36,854
Vera, open the door.
Don't use the phone. Listen to me.
1016
01:03:37,522 --> 01:03:40,983
I don't like you, Roberts.
You're no gentleman, see?
1017
01:03:41,067 --> 01:03:45,154
You hurt my hand,
and I'm gonna get even with you.
1018
01:03:45,238 --> 01:03:48,407
If you don't open the door,
I'm gonna kick it down, Vera.
1019
01:03:48,492 --> 01:03:51,368
Vera, don't call the cops.
Listen to me, I'll do anything you say.
1020
01:03:52,287 --> 01:03:53,746
Vera, let me in!
1021
01:03:55,207 --> 01:03:56,665
I'll break the phone!
1022
01:04:14,267 --> 01:04:17,269
[grunting]
1023
01:04:22,609 --> 01:04:23,943
Vera.
1024
01:04:34,579 --> 01:04:36,539
[Al narrating] The world is full of skeptics.
1025
01:04:37,290 --> 01:04:39,667
I know. I'm one myself.
1026
01:04:40,669 --> 01:04:43,712
In the Haskell business, how many of you
would believe he fell out of the car?
1027
01:04:43,797 --> 01:04:46,173
And now, after killing Vera
without really meaning to do it,
1028
01:04:46,258 --> 01:04:48,676
how many of you would believe
it wasn't premeditated?
1029
01:04:49,719 --> 01:04:53,264
In a jury room, every last man of you
would go down shouting
1030
01:04:53,348 --> 01:04:56,058
that she had me over a barrel
and my only out was force.
1031
01:04:58,103 --> 01:04:59,728
The room was still.
1032
01:05:00,730 --> 01:05:03,691
So quiet that for a while I'd wondered
if I'd suddenly gone deaf.
1033
01:05:04,484 --> 01:05:06,235
It was pure fear, of course.
1034
01:05:06,319 --> 01:05:08,195
And I was hysterical,
1035
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:09,989
but without making a sound.
1036
01:05:11,324 --> 01:05:14,285
Vera was dead, and I was her murderer.
1037
01:05:15,370 --> 01:05:19,873
Murderer. What an awful word that is.
But I'd become one.
1038
01:05:19,958 --> 01:05:22,042
I'd better not get caught.
1039
01:05:22,127 --> 01:05:24,628
What evidence there was around the place
had to be destroyed.
1040
01:05:24,713 --> 01:05:26,505
And from the looks of things, there was plenty.
1041
01:05:26,590 --> 01:05:28,299
Looking around the room at things we'd bought
1042
01:05:28,383 --> 01:05:30,801
was like looking into the faces of
a hundred people who'd seen us together
1043
01:05:30,885 --> 01:05:32,803
and who remembered me.
1044
01:05:32,887 --> 01:05:35,306
This was the kind of testimony
I couldn't rub out.
1045
01:05:36,808 --> 01:05:38,058
No.
1046
01:05:38,143 --> 01:05:41,312
I could burn clothes and hide bottles
for the next five years.
1047
01:05:41,396 --> 01:05:42,855
There'd always be witnesses.
1048
01:05:42,939 --> 01:05:44,732
The landlady for one.
She could identify me.
1049
01:05:44,816 --> 01:05:46,233
The car dealer, the waitress in the drive-in,
1050
01:05:46,318 --> 01:05:48,819
the girl in the dress shop,
and that guy in the liquor store.
1051
01:05:48,903 --> 01:05:50,696
They could all identify me.
1052
01:05:52,032 --> 01:05:55,868
I was cooked. Done for.
I had to get out of there.
1053
01:05:57,203 --> 01:05:59,330
While once I remained beside a dead body
1054
01:05:59,414 --> 01:06:02,416
planning carefully how to avoid
being accused of killing him,
1055
01:06:02,500 --> 01:06:04,752
this time I couldn't.
1056
01:06:04,836 --> 01:06:06,503
This time I was guilty.
1057
01:06:07,422 --> 01:06:09,923
I knew it. Felt it.
1058
01:06:10,967 --> 01:06:13,218
I was like a guy suffering from shock.
1059
01:06:13,303 --> 01:06:14,970
Things were whirling around in my head.
1060
01:06:15,055 --> 01:06:17,890
I couldn't make myself think right.
1061
01:06:17,974 --> 01:06:21,435
All I could think of was the guy with
the saxophone and what he was playing.
1062
01:06:22,437 --> 01:06:24,021
It wasn't a love song anymore.
1063
01:06:24,814 --> 01:06:26,565
It was a dirge.

[jukebox: up-tempo band music]
1065
01:07:14,197 --> 01:07:16,615
[Al narrating]
But my problems weren't solved.
1066
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:19,493
I had to stay away from New York
for all time.
1067
01:07:20,328 --> 01:07:23,622
Because Al Roberts was listed as dead
and had to stay dead.
1068
01:07:24,332 --> 01:07:25,999
And I could never go back to Hollywood.
1069
01:07:26,835 --> 01:07:28,794
Someone might recognize me as Haskell.
1070
01:07:30,130 --> 01:07:33,048
- Then, too, there was Sue.
- [music stops]
1071
01:07:34,467 --> 01:07:37,803
I could never go to her with a thing
like this hanging over my head.
1072
01:07:39,180 --> 01:07:42,474
All I could do was pray she'd be happy.
1073
01:07:53,486 --> 01:07:57,656
I was in Bakersfield before I read
that Vera's body was discovered.
1074
01:07:57,741 --> 01:08:01,368
And that the police were looking for Haskell
in connection with his wife's murder.
1075
01:08:02,871 --> 01:08:04,413
Isn't that a laugh?
1076
01:08:05,081 --> 01:08:09,001
Haskell got me into this mess
and Haskell was getting me out of it.
1077
01:08:09,085 --> 01:08:11,170
The police were searching for a dead man.
1078
01:08:14,674 --> 01:08:16,884
I keep trying to forget what happened...
1079
01:08:18,261 --> 01:08:22,973
and wonder what my life might have been
if that car of Haskell's hadn't stopped.
1080
01:08:24,768 --> 01:08:26,935
But one thing I don't have to wonder about.
1081
01:08:28,146 --> 01:08:29,605
I know.
1082
01:08:31,107 --> 01:08:34,234
Someday a car will stop to pick me up
that I never thumbed.
1083
01:08:38,990 --> 01:08:39,865
Yes.
1084
01:08:40,742 --> 01:08:44,411
Fate... or some mysterious force
1085
01:08:44,496 --> 01:08:47,414
can put the finger on you or me
1086
01:08:47,499 --> 01:08:49,500
for no good reason at all.

Al Roberts, an unemployed piano player, hitches a ride, arriving at a roadside diner in Reno, Nevada. Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.
Al recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.
In Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.
Al realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.
Al crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.
In Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.
Back at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.
Al gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of "his wife." Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest.

00:03:45,392 --> 00:03:47,018
Give me change for a dime, will ya?
24
00:03:51,899 --> 00:03:54,233
- [register rings]
- [coin clatters]
25
00:03:56,778 --> 00:03:58,821
Let's have something quieter this time, Joe.
26
00:03:58,906 --> 00:04:00,907
- My head's splitting.
- Is that what's wrong with it?
27
00:04:00,991 --> 00:04:02,450
[chuckles softly]
28
00:04:04,161 --> 00:04:07,747
- Done with your coffee?
- No. And don't rush me, will ya?
29
00:04:07,831 --> 00:04:11,250
[jukebox: new song plays, up-tempo]
30
00:04:15,172 --> 00:04:17,173
Hey, turn that off.
Will ya turn that thing off?
31
00:04:17,257 --> 00:04:19,050
- What's eating you now?
- Yeah, what's eating you?
32
00:04:19,134 --> 00:04:21,052
- That music. It stinks!
- Oh, you don't like it, huh?
33
00:04:21,136 --> 00:04:23,220
- No, turn it off!
- Now wait a minute, pal.
34
00:04:23,305 --> 00:04:24,972
That was my nickel, see?
35
00:04:25,057 --> 00:04:28,059
This is a free country,
and I play whatever I want to.
36
00:04:29,603 --> 00:04:30,645
Okay.
37
00:04:30,729 --> 00:04:33,022
Sure. And if you don't like,
you don't have to listen to it.
38
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:35,066
And you can leave here anytime you wanna.
39
00:04:35,150 --> 00:04:36,692
Okay, okay. I'm sorry I asked.
40
00:04:36,777 --> 00:04:38,986
First good piece played tonight,
and you don't like it.
41
00:04:39,071 --> 00:04:41,489
Some people just ain't got any good taste.
42
00:04:44,076 --> 00:04:47,161
[music continues]
43
00:04:52,751 --> 00:04:55,962
[thinking] That tune. That tune!
44
00:04:56,046 --> 00:04:58,297
Why was there always that rotten tune?
45
00:04:58,382 --> 00:05:01,175
Following me around, beating in my head,
never letting up.
46
00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:07,181
Did you ever wanna forget anything?
47
00:05:07,599 --> 00:05:10,518
Did you ever wanna cut away
a piece of your memory or blot it out?
48
00:05:10,978 --> 00:05:14,397
You can't, you know?
No matter how hard you try.
49
00:05:14,481 --> 00:05:16,440
You can change the scenery,
50
00:05:16,525 --> 00:05:18,609
but sooner or later
you'll get a whiff of perfume,
51
00:05:18,694 --> 00:05:21,195
or somebody will say a certain phrase
or maybe hum something.
52
00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:23,531
Then you're licked again.
53
00:05:25,575 --> 00:05:27,994
"I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me."
54
00:05:28,078 --> 00:05:29,954
I used to love that song once.
55
00:05:30,038 --> 00:05:33,124
So did the customers back in the old
Break O' Dawn Club in New York.
56
00:05:33,625 --> 00:05:36,711
I can't remember a night when I didn't get
at least three requests for it.
57
00:05:37,504 --> 00:05:40,756
Sue, she was always selling it too.
58
00:05:41,258 --> 00:05:42,550
Those were the days.
59
00:05:42,634 --> 00:05:44,635
[song continues]
60
00:05:48,598 --> 00:05:51,559
[song continues, live combo playing]
61
00:06:07,701 --> 00:06:11,245
# Your eyes of blue
Your kisses too #
62
00:06:11,329 --> 00:06:14,123
# I never knew what they could do #
63
00:06:14,207 --> 00:06:19,420
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
64
00:06:19,963 --> 00:06:23,132
# You're telling everyone you know #
65
00:06:23,216 --> 00:06:26,343
# That I'm on your mind each place you go #
66
00:06:26,428 --> 00:06:31,223
# They can't believe
That you're in love with me #
67
00:06:32,392 --> 00:06:38,189
# I have always placed you far above me #
68
00:06:38,273 --> 00:06:43,778
# I just can't imagine that you love me #
69
00:06:43,862 --> 00:06:47,073
# And after all is said and done #
70
00:06:47,157 --> 00:06:50,284
# To think that I'm the lucky one #
71
00:06:50,368 --> 00:06:55,748
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
72
00:07:02,631 --> 00:07:04,715
[Al narrating] It wasn't much of a club, really.
73
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,300
You know the kind.
74
00:07:06,384 --> 00:07:08,385
A joint where you could have a sandwich
and a few drinks,
75
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:11,055
and run interference for your girl
on the dance floor.
76
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:15,101
- [playing romantic melody]
- I fronted the piano in there every night
77
00:07:15,185 --> 00:07:17,311
from 8:00 until the place closed up,
78
00:07:17,395 --> 00:07:19,563
which usually meant 4:00 in the morning.
79
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:22,066
A good job as jobs went in those days.
80
00:07:25,487 --> 00:07:28,739
Then, too, there was Sue,
81
00:07:28,824 --> 00:07:31,784
who made working there
a little like working in heaven.
82
00:07:32,244 --> 00:07:36,372
But how we felt about each other, well,
there was nothing very unusual in that.
83
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:39,834
I was an ordinary healthy guy,
and she was an ordinary healthy girl,
84
00:07:39,918 --> 00:07:43,170
and when you add those two together,
you get an ordinary healthy romance,
85
00:07:43,255 --> 00:07:44,672
which is the old story.
86
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:49,426
Sure. But somehow
the most wonderful thing in the world.
87
00:07:49,511 --> 00:07:51,846
[continues playing, rapidly]
88
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:59,436
All in all, I was a pretty lucky guy.
89
00:08:12,450 --> 00:08:15,494
Mr. Patterewsky, I presume?
It's beautiful.
90
00:08:15,579 --> 00:08:17,663
You're going to make Carnegie Hall yet, Al.
91
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:20,332
Yeah. As a janitor.
92
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:22,251
I'll make my debut in the basement.
93
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:26,005
I don't blame you for being bitter,
darling, but you mustn't give up hope.
94
00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:27,798
- Why, some day...
- Yeah, some day,
95
00:08:27,883 --> 00:08:29,633
if I don't get arthritis first.
96
00:08:29,718 --> 00:08:31,385
In the meantime, let's blow this trap.
97
00:08:31,469 --> 00:08:32,845
[piano lid thuds]
98
00:08:48,737 --> 00:08:49,737
[door closes]
99
00:08:51,323 --> 00:08:53,782
- Like to get something to eat, hon?
- Oh, I don't think so, Al.
100
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:56,911
I lose my appetite working in this fleabag.
101
00:08:56,995 --> 00:08:58,954
- Let's go home.
- Okay.
102
00:08:59,831 --> 00:09:02,416
I can't stand much more of that dump.
103
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:05,211
Did you see that drunk tonight
trying to paw me?
104
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:08,547
- No, what drunk?
- Does it matter what drunk?
105
00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:11,800
Say, what's the matter with you tonight, darling?
106
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:14,511
That's the third time you started
to tell me something and then stopped.
107
00:09:15,305 --> 00:09:17,806
We shouldn't have any secrets
from each other, Sue.
108
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:20,267
Next week, we're gonna make with a ring
and a license. We'll be a team.
109
00:09:20,352 --> 00:09:23,395
Yes, that's right. In the bush league.
110
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,190
- I don't get ya.
- We've been struck out.
111
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:29,276
That's a funny way to talk, darling.
112
00:09:29,361 --> 00:09:31,737
- Don't you wanna marry me?
- Al, look, I love you.
113
00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:34,198
You know I do.
And I want to marry you.
114
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:36,742
- But...?
- But not now.
115
00:09:36,826 --> 00:09:39,286
Only after we've made good.
116
00:09:39,371 --> 00:09:40,996
Sunday I'm going away.
117
00:09:41,706 --> 00:09:43,666
Oh, I know you'll think it's silly.
118
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:46,001
That's why I hesitated to tell you.
119
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:47,795
But I'm going to California.
120
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:50,297
I wanna try my luck in Hollywood.
121
00:09:50,548 --> 00:09:52,758
[Al] That's the most
stupid thing I ever heard of.
122
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:56,387
Don't you know millions of people go out there
every year and wind up polishing cuspidors?
123
00:09:56,471 --> 00:09:57,638
I thought you had better sense.
124
00:09:57,722 --> 00:09:59,598
You sound as if you think
I don't have any talent.
125
00:09:59,683 --> 00:10:02,101
- That has nothing to do with it.
- I'll make out all right.
126
00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:03,936
Maybe. But what about me?
127
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:06,563
Doesn't it mean anything to you
that you're busting up all our plans?
128
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:09,817
- We may not see each other for years?
- It won't be that long.
129
00:10:09,901 --> 00:10:12,111
- I thought you loved me.
- I do.
130
00:10:12,195 --> 00:10:13,737
You know I do.
131
00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:18,325
Well, here we are.
132
00:10:20,787 --> 00:10:21,787
Al...
133
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:25,541
Al, why can't you see my side of it?
134
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:28,294
I'm young. We both are. And...
135
00:10:28,378 --> 00:10:31,005
And we've got all the time in the world
to settle down.
136
00:10:31,715 --> 00:10:33,966
[sighs] Really, darling.
137
00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:37,303
What I'm doing is the only sane thing to do.
138
00:10:37,387 --> 00:10:40,889
[sighs] I... I hate the thought
of being so far away from you.
139
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:44,226
But... But we'll be together again some day.
140
00:10:44,311 --> 00:10:47,563
[sighs] Maybe you'll decide
to come out too, later on.
141
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:49,898
- So long.
- Al.
142
00:10:50,734 --> 00:10:53,068
Aren't you gonna kiss me good night?
143
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,237
Sure, why not?
144
00:10:57,741 --> 00:10:58,991
Good night.
145
00:11:05,248 --> 00:11:07,708
[playing romantic melody]
146
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:34,276
[playing jauntily, jazzy]
147
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:47,164
[changing rhythm, slower]
148
00:12:09,604 --> 00:12:12,231
[changing rhythm, jittery]
149
00:12:18,822 --> 00:12:21,824
[no audible dialogue]
150
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:40,717
[piano playing stops]
151
00:12:40,802 --> 00:12:42,469
- [applause]
- Say, Roberts.
152
00:12:42,554 --> 00:12:45,848
You hit the jackpot this time. Ten bucks.
153
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:47,391
Thanks.
154
00:12:53,481 --> 00:12:56,024
[Al narrating] So when this drunk handed me
a ten-spot after a request,
155
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:57,526
I couldn't get very excited.
156
00:12:57,777 --> 00:13:01,363
What was it, I asked myself?
A piece of paper crawling with germs.
157
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:03,866
Couldn't buy anything I wanted.
158
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:05,242
It couldn't...
159
00:13:08,246 --> 00:13:09,705
Then I thought of something.
160
00:13:33,104 --> 00:13:34,313
Long distance.
161
00:13:34,397 --> 00:13:36,857
I'd like to put a call through to Los Angeles.
162
00:13:36,941 --> 00:13:39,193
Miss Harvey. Sue Harvey.
163
00:13:39,277 --> 00:13:41,069
H-A-R-V-E-Y.
164
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:44,615
The number is CRestview 65723.
165
00:14:04,594 --> 00:14:06,386
- 4.50.
- [coin clatters]
166
00:14:06,471 --> 00:14:08,347
- 4.75.
- [coin clatters]
167
00:14:08,431 --> 00:14:09,431
5.00.
168
00:14:12,477 --> 00:14:15,020
Hello, Sue? This is Al.
169
00:14:15,104 --> 00:14:17,356
Oh, baby, it's great to hear from you too.
170
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,651
What's that? You do?
Oh, me too, darling.
171
00:14:20,735 --> 00:14:23,362
I thought I'd go batty without you.
I just had to...
172
00:14:23,446 --> 00:14:24,446
Huh?
173
00:14:25,406 --> 00:14:27,449
You're workin' as a hash slinger?
174
00:14:27,534 --> 00:14:28,867
Gee, honey, that's tough.
175
00:14:28,952 --> 00:14:32,371
Those guys out in Hollywood don't know
the real thing when it's right in front of them.
176
00:14:32,455 --> 00:14:34,164
You just stick it out, Sue, baby.
177
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:37,417
Keep goin' around to those casting offices.
I'm sure you'll click.
178
00:14:38,002 --> 00:14:40,629
Look, I'll tell you what.
You stay put out there. I'll come to you.
179
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:43,632
No, don't try to stop me. Just expect me.
180
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:46,760
Train? Who knows?
Train, plane, bus, magic carpet.
181
00:14:46,844 --> 00:14:50,430
I'll be there if I have to crawl.
If I have to travel by pogo stick.
182
00:14:50,515 --> 00:14:53,809
And then... let's get married right away.
183
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:59,439
That's the stuff. That's what
I've been wanting to hear you say.
184
00:15:00,525 --> 00:15:03,110
Well, good-bye for now.
185
00:15:04,362 --> 00:15:06,905
I'll be seeing you soon. [kisses]
186
00:15:07,282 --> 00:15:10,492
Yeah. [kisses] Bye.
187
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:18,500
[Al narrating] The only way I could
cross country was to thumb rides,
188
00:15:18,585 --> 00:15:21,587
for even after hocking everything,
I only had enough money to eat.
189
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:24,923
Money. You know what that is.
190
00:15:25,717 --> 00:15:27,551
It's the stuff you never have enough of.
191
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:29,720
Little green things
with George Washington's picture
192
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:33,432
that men slave for,
commit crimes for, die for.
193
00:15:34,183 --> 00:15:36,226
It's the stuff that has caused
more trouble in the world
194
00:15:36,311 --> 00:15:38,186
than anything else we ever invented,
195
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:41,273
simply because there's too little of it.
196
00:15:41,357 --> 00:15:43,442
At least I had too little of it.
197
00:15:43,526 --> 00:15:45,319
So it was me for the thumb.
198
00:16:01,753 --> 00:16:03,170
Ever done any hitchhiking?
199
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:05,881
It's not much fun, believe me.
200
00:16:06,549 --> 00:16:08,842
Oh, yeah,
I know all about how it's an education,
201
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:11,595
and how you get to meet a lot of people,
and all that.
202
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:15,849
But me, from now on
I'll take my education in college,
203
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:20,187
or in P.S. 62, or I'll send $1.98
in stamps for ten easy lessons.
204
00:16:29,447 --> 00:16:33,367
Thumbing rides may save you bus fare,
but it's dangerous.
205
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:37,954
You never know what's in store for you
when you hear the squeal of brakes.
206
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,001
If only I had known what I was getting into
that day in Arizona.
207
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:46,546
Here, throw that in the back seat.
208
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:51,301
Okay, let's go.
Make sure that door's closed.
209
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:53,553
- [door closes]
- [lock clacks]
210
00:17:05,483 --> 00:17:09,319
You know, Emily Post ought to write
a book of rules for guys thumbing rides.
211
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:13,031
Because as it is now you never know
what's right and what's wrong.
212
00:17:13,783 --> 00:17:17,285
We rode along for a little while,
neither one of us saying anything.
213
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:19,538
I was glad of that.
214
00:17:19,622 --> 00:17:22,457
I never know what to say
to strange people driving cars.
215
00:17:23,418 --> 00:17:26,545
And too, you can never tell
if a guy wants to talk.
216
00:17:26,629 --> 00:17:29,631
A lot of rides have been cut short
because of a big mouth.
217
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:34,845
So I kept my mouth shut
until he started opening up.
218
00:17:35,596 --> 00:17:38,473
Hand me that little box
in the compartment, will ya, pal?
219
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:42,936
Hold the wheel, will ya?
220
00:17:44,397 --> 00:17:45,397
[pills rattling]
221
00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:53,029
[glove box closes]
222
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:56,450
- How far are ya going?
- LA.
223
00:17:56,534 --> 00:17:58,577
Well, you're really traveling aren't ya?
224
00:17:58,661 --> 00:18:00,704
Yeah, but I don't expect to make it
for a couple years
225
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:02,372
at the rate I've been promoting rides.
226
00:18:02,457 --> 00:18:03,582
Not much luck, huh?
227
00:18:03,666 --> 00:18:05,459
Sure. All bad.
228
00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:07,753
Not many people stop for a guy these days.
229
00:18:07,837 --> 00:18:09,296
Afraid of a stickup maybe.
230
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:10,505
Ah, you can't blame 'em.
231
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:13,675
- Where ya comin' from?
- New York.
232
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,137
Well, New York. You're in luck this time.
233
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:19,139
I'm goin' all the way.
234
00:18:19,223 --> 00:18:20,807
Right through to Los Angeles.
235
00:18:22,018 --> 00:18:24,102
- You drive a car?
- Sure.
236
00:18:24,187 --> 00:18:26,897
- Whenever you're tired, let me know.
- I'll holler.
237
00:18:28,691 --> 00:18:30,776
I guess at least an hour passed
before I noticed
238
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:32,778
those deep scratches in his right hand.
239
00:18:33,237 --> 00:18:34,696
They were wicked.
240
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:37,532
Three puffy red lines
about a quarter of an inch apart.
241
00:18:38,576 --> 00:18:40,869
He must have seen me looking at them
because he said...
242
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:43,288
Beauties, aren't they?
243
00:18:44,081 --> 00:18:45,957
They're gonna be scars someday.
244
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:49,002
What an animal.
245
00:18:49,086 --> 00:18:51,880
Whatever it was, it must have been
pretty big and vicious to have done that.
246
00:18:52,381 --> 00:18:54,424
Right on both counts, New York.
247
00:18:54,509 --> 00:18:57,636
I was tussling with the most
dangerous animal in the world...
248
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,804
a woman.
249
00:18:59,388 --> 00:19:01,014
She must have been Tarzan's mate.
250
00:19:01,098 --> 00:19:02,766
Looks like you lost the bout.
251
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:04,559
Certainly wasn't a draw.
252
00:19:05,394 --> 00:19:08,313
You know, there ought to be a law
against dames with claws.
253
00:19:08,397 --> 00:19:09,314
Yeah.
254
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:11,483
I tossed her out of the car on her ear.
255
00:19:12,318 --> 00:19:16,655
Was I wrong? Give a lift to a tomato,
you expect her to be nice, don't ya?
256
00:19:16,739 --> 00:19:17,656
Yeah.
257
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:20,242
After all, what kind of dames thumb rides?
258
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:22,577
- Sunday school teachers?
- Yeah.
259
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:25,747
The little witch.
260
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:28,458
She must've thought she was riding
with some fall guy.
261
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:32,337
And me who's been booking horses
around racetracks since I was 20.
262
00:19:33,047 --> 00:19:34,923
[scoffs] I've known a million dames like her.
263
00:19:35,383 --> 00:19:37,217
- Two million.
- Yeah.
264
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:42,138
Stopped the car, opened the door...
265
00:19:42,223 --> 00:19:44,641
"Take it on the Arthur Duffy, sister,"
I told her.
266
00:19:44,725 --> 00:19:48,103
- That's the stuff.
- As I was down on her. [laughs]
267
00:19:48,479 --> 00:19:52,148
But if you wanna see a real scar, brother,
get a load of this.
268
00:19:53,442 --> 00:19:55,026
Wow.
269
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:57,904
- I got that one dueling.
- Dueling?
270
00:19:58,406 --> 00:19:59,865
Yeah. We were just kidding, of course.
271
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:02,450
My dad owned a couple of
Franco-Prussian sabers.
272
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:04,244
Kept 'em on the wall for decorations.
273
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:09,749
One day, another kid and I took 'em down
when the old man wasn't around. Had a duel.
274
00:20:09,834 --> 00:20:11,376
[chuckles]
275
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:13,587
He hit me in the arm, here.
276
00:20:13,671 --> 00:20:15,338
Pretty mean cut.
277
00:20:15,423 --> 00:20:16,965
Infection set in later.
278
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:18,842
Yeah, I can see that.
279
00:20:19,093 --> 00:20:21,428
- Oh, gimme that box again, will ya?
- Yeah.
280
00:20:24,765 --> 00:20:26,099
[pills rattling]
281
00:20:31,355 --> 00:20:32,397
[glove box closes]
282
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:35,525
Pain made me lose my head, I guess.
283
00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:37,694
I began slashing.
284
00:20:37,778 --> 00:20:40,488
Before I knew it,
I put the other kid's eye out.
285
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:43,950
- That was tough.
- Well, it was just an accident, of course.
286
00:20:44,035 --> 00:20:48,413
But you know how kids are. I got scared...
decided I was gonna run away from home.
287
00:20:48,915 --> 00:20:51,958
Old man almost clocked me
when I was packin' my duds.
288
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:56,296
If the bloody rag I had wrapped around my wrist
hadn't caught his attention,
289
00:20:56,380 --> 00:20:58,048
he'd have seen the bundle for sure.
290
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:01,551
But I beat it when he was phoning for a doctor.
291
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:06,598
That was 15, 16 years ago.
I haven't been home since.
292
00:21:10,561 --> 00:21:12,729
Pull in there for a bite of something, huh?
293
00:21:12,813 --> 00:21:14,481
[Al narrating] A bite of something.
294
00:21:14,565 --> 00:21:16,066
Brother, was I hungry.
295
00:21:16,150 --> 00:21:18,401
I hadn't had anything in my stomach for hours.
296
00:21:19,362 --> 00:21:21,404
Yet even with that gnawing
in the pit of my belly,
297
00:21:21,489 --> 00:21:24,324
I didn't want to be in too big a rush
to put on the feed bag.
298
00:21:25,076 --> 00:21:27,827
First, I had to make sure
this guy knew the score.
299
00:21:27,912 --> 00:21:31,247
If I got him down on me,
it was good-bye ticket to Hollywood.
300
00:21:32,083 --> 00:21:33,708
I'll wait out here for you, mister.
301
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:36,753
If it's the money, don't worry about
paying for it. This time it's on me.
302
00:21:36,837 --> 00:21:39,255
- Well, that's white of you, Mr...
- Haskell. Think nothing of it.
303
00:21:39,340 --> 00:21:42,717
You make your first million, maybe you can
do the same for me. Come on, New York.
304
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:44,594
I gotta make the West Coast by Wednesday.
305
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:47,263
There's a horse running at
Santa Anita named Paradisiacal.
306
00:21:47,348 --> 00:21:49,933
- Means dough to me if I'm running.
- We'll make it all right.
307
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:54,688
[Al narrating] He did most of the talking
during the half hour we were in the place.
308
00:21:54,772 --> 00:21:55,772
I ate.
309
00:21:56,857 --> 00:22:01,027
He rambled on about his old man, who he hadn't
heard from since he ran away as a kid,
310
00:22:01,112 --> 00:22:02,946
and how he happened to become a bookie,
311
00:22:03,030 --> 00:22:05,740
and then all about how he got rooked in Miami.
312
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:08,660
One race, 38 grand.
They cleaned out my book.
313
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:11,079
- How do you like that?
- That was tough luck.
314
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:13,164
Yeah, and I'm supposed to be the smart guy.
315
00:22:13,249 --> 00:22:16,543
You just wait. I'm going back to Florida
next season with all kinds of jack.
316
00:22:16,627 --> 00:22:18,586
And you watch those stinkers run for cover.
317
00:22:19,547 --> 00:22:21,965
- Want anything else?
- No, thanks, I've had plenty.
318
00:22:27,638 --> 00:22:29,556
- The check there, sister?
- Mm-hmm.
319
00:22:32,601 --> 00:22:34,519
Oh, just a minute. Your change, sir.
320
00:22:34,603 --> 00:22:37,272
- Keep it, sister.
- Oh, thank you, sir. Call again.
321
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,190
I'll be waitin' outside for you
when you finish work.
322
00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:40,400
[chuckles]
323
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:41,776
Sharp chick, huh?
324
00:22:49,952 --> 00:22:52,912
[Al narrating] I drove all that night
while Haskell slept like a log.
325
00:22:53,581 --> 00:22:56,416
After a while, I began to get sleepy myself.
326
00:22:57,835 --> 00:23:01,671
I was happy though.
Soon I'd be with Sue again.
327
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:03,214
The long trip was practically over,
328
00:23:03,299 --> 00:23:06,009
and there'd be no more hoofing it
down the concrete.
329
00:23:06,761 --> 00:23:08,928
I began to think of the future,
330
00:23:09,013 --> 00:23:12,098
which couldn't have been brighter
if I'd embroidered it with neon lights.
331
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,226
It was nice to think of Sue shooting to the top.
332
00:23:16,437 --> 00:23:20,356
[chuckles] It's amazing what a full belly
can do to your imagination.
333
00:23:20,566 --> 00:23:23,276
[romantic ballad]
334
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:28,156
# Your eyes are blue
Your kisses too #
335
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,577
# I never knew what they could do #
336
00:23:32,661 --> 00:23:39,667
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
337
00:23:41,045 --> 00:23:45,632
# You're telling everyone you know #
338
00:23:45,716 --> 00:23:50,095
# I'm on your mind each place you go #
339
00:23:50,179 --> 00:23:56,017
# I can't believe that you're in love #
340
00:23:56,352 --> 00:24:02,690
# With me #
341
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:12,951
Mr. Haskell.
342
00:24:14,703 --> 00:24:15,703
Mr. Haskell?
343
00:24:18,833 --> 00:24:20,875
Mr. Haskell, wake up! It's raining.
344
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,002
Don't you think we ought to stop
and put up the top?
345
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:33,263
Mr. Haskell, I'm gonna put up the top.
346
00:24:48,154 --> 00:24:50,029
[Al narrating] Until then,
I'd done things my way.
347
00:24:50,531 --> 00:24:52,699
But from then on, something else
stepped in and shunted me off
348
00:24:52,783 --> 00:24:55,535
to a different destination
than the one I had picked for myself.
349
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:58,329
For when I pulled open that door...
350
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:05,170
Mr. Haskell, what's the matter?
Are you hurt?
351
00:25:06,255 --> 00:25:07,547
Are you hurt, Mr. Haskell?
352
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:11,467
[Al narrating]
Start your sermon. I'll listen to it.
353
00:25:12,219 --> 00:25:15,013
But I know what you're gonna hand me
even before you open your mouths.
354
00:25:15,598 --> 00:25:18,016
You're gonna tell me you don't believe
my story of how Haskell died
355
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:21,352
and give me that "don't make me laugh"
expression on your smug faces.
356
00:25:24,815 --> 00:25:26,357
I saw at once he was dead.
357
00:25:26,692 --> 00:25:28,193
And I was in for it.
358
00:25:28,277 --> 00:25:30,111
Who would believe he fell out of the car?
359
00:25:30,196 --> 00:25:31,738
If Haskell came to, which,
of course, he couldn't,
360
00:25:31,822 --> 00:25:34,240
even he would swear
I conked him over the head for his dough.
361
00:25:34,325 --> 00:25:35,491
Yes, I was in for it.
362
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:39,829
Instinct told me to run,
but then I realized it was hopeless.
363
00:25:39,914 --> 00:25:41,998
There were lots of people back down the road
who could identify me.
364
00:25:42,082 --> 00:25:44,000
That gas station guy and the waitress.
365
00:25:44,084 --> 00:25:46,419
I would be in a worse spot then
trying to explain why I beat it.
366
00:25:47,504 --> 00:25:50,381
The next possibility was to sit tight
and tell the truth when the cops came.
367
00:25:50,466 --> 00:25:53,176
But that would be crazy.
They'd laugh at the truth.
368
00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:54,552
And I'd have my head in a noose.
369
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:59,807
So what else was there to do
but hide the body and get away in the car?
370
00:25:59,892 --> 00:26:02,101
I couldn't leave the car there
with him in the gully.
371
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:03,937
That would be like erecting a tombstone.
372
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:35,385
My idea was to cover him with brush,
not to rob him.
373
00:26:35,636 --> 00:26:38,304
But then I remembered that even if
I only drove the car for 100 miles or so,
374
00:26:38,389 --> 00:26:39,722
I would need money for gas.
375
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:44,060
Besides, it was stupid of me
to leave all that money on a dead man.
376
00:26:45,145 --> 00:26:47,188
Not only that,
I'd have to take his driver's license
377
00:26:47,273 --> 00:26:48,690
in case I was stopped for something.
378
00:26:50,901 --> 00:26:52,235
I didn't like to think about it,
379
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,821
but by that time I'd done
just what the police would say I did.
380
00:26:54,905 --> 00:26:57,740
Even if I didn't... My clothes.
381
00:26:58,367 --> 00:27:00,618
The owner of such an expensive car
would never be wearing them.
382
00:27:01,662 --> 00:27:03,246
Some cop might pull me in on suspicion.
383
00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,802
[motorcycle approaches]
384
00:27:28,939 --> 00:27:30,231
Hey, you. This your car?
385
00:27:30,941 --> 00:27:33,943
Don't you know better than to leave a car
with the wheels halfway in the middle of the road?
386
00:27:34,028 --> 00:27:35,403
That's the way accidents happen.
387
00:27:35,612 --> 00:27:38,614
I... I'm sorry, Officer.
I was just putting up my top.
388
00:27:38,699 --> 00:27:41,367
- I didn't think.
- Well, the next time, think.
389
00:27:41,452 --> 00:27:43,911
I'll let you go now,
but watch your step in the future.
390
00:27:43,996 --> 00:27:46,414
I know that it's a lonely stretch,
but cars come by here once in a while.
391
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:49,334
- We have plenty of crack-ups.
- Thanks, Officer.
392
00:28:13,067 --> 00:28:15,777
[Al narrating] I left nothing in the car
that'd give me away as Roberts.
393
00:28:15,861 --> 00:28:18,529
If they found a dead man in the gully now,
it could be me.
394
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:28,122
As I drove off, it was still raining.
395
00:28:29,083 --> 00:28:31,876
The drops streaked
down the windshield like tears.
396
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:36,381
I kept imagining I was being followed,
397
00:28:36,465 --> 00:28:38,341
that I could hear sirens
back in the distance.
398
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,471
Just how long it took to cover the 60-odd
miles to the California state line,
399
00:28:43,555 --> 00:28:44,555
I don't know.
400
00:28:45,057 --> 00:28:46,641
I lost all track of time.
401
00:28:47,351 --> 00:28:51,270
But the rain had stopped and the sun was up
when I pulled up to the inspection station.
402
00:28:55,859 --> 00:28:56,692
Hello.
403
00:28:57,653 --> 00:28:59,946
- Carrying any fruits or vegetables?
- No.
404
00:29:00,030 --> 00:29:02,198
- Any livestock or poultry?
- No.
405
00:29:02,282 --> 00:29:03,741
[footsteps approaching]
406
00:29:03,826 --> 00:29:06,202
I'd like to see your registration
and driver's license, please.
407
00:29:10,749 --> 00:29:13,251
- Anything in the baggage compartment?
- Just baggage.
408
00:29:15,212 --> 00:29:18,548
Charles Haskell Jr.
Age 30, brown eyes, dark hair.
409
00:29:18,841 --> 00:29:20,216
Identifying marks, none.
410
00:29:20,884 --> 00:29:23,094
- Are you Charles Haskell Jr.?
- Yes.
411
00:29:23,178 --> 00:29:25,263
Well, remember, if you're employed,
and you stay over 30 days,
412
00:29:25,347 --> 00:29:27,223
you take out California plates.
413
00:29:27,307 --> 00:29:29,517
All right, Officer, but I'll only be
in the state a short while.
414
00:29:31,186 --> 00:29:32,270
Right. You can go now.
415
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:42,113
[Al narrating] I couldn't drive any farther
without some sleep.
416
00:29:42,197 --> 00:29:45,783
Cops or no cops, I knew
I had to hit the hay and hit it hard.
417
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,203
I was dead tired.
418
00:30:20,027 --> 00:30:20,943
No.
419
00:30:21,820 --> 00:30:23,362
No, you can't, Mr. Haskell.
420
00:30:24,323 --> 00:30:25,156
No.
421
00:30:32,706 --> 00:30:35,374
Mr. Haskell, you can't die.
422
00:30:36,502 --> 00:30:39,128
They'll think... They'll think I did it.
423
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:42,173
No, Mr. Haskell.
424
00:30:42,591 --> 00:30:44,717
No, no...
425
00:30:48,722 --> 00:30:49,805
[knocks]
426
00:30:54,019 --> 00:30:55,603
[knocking continues]
427
00:30:59,358 --> 00:31:00,233
Who's there?
428
00:31:00,317 --> 00:31:02,610
It's the maid. Can I come in and clean?
429
00:31:03,820 --> 00:31:06,322
Later... in a half-hour.
430
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:07,490
All right, sir.
431
00:31:32,057 --> 00:31:33,599
[Al narrating] There was no time to lose.
432
00:31:33,684 --> 00:31:36,227
Every minute I had to be Charles Haskell
was dangerous.
433
00:31:36,311 --> 00:31:38,521
I'd have to be Charles Haskell
until I got to some city
434
00:31:38,605 --> 00:31:40,648
where I could leave the car
and be swallowed up.
435
00:31:46,238 --> 00:31:48,864
That meant driving the car
as far as San Bernardino,
436
00:31:48,949 --> 00:31:50,491
maybe even to Los Angeles.
437
00:31:50,576 --> 00:31:52,451
In a little town, I might be noticed.
438
00:31:52,536 --> 00:31:54,328
But in a city, I should be safe enough.
439
00:31:55,581 --> 00:31:58,666
Then, after I ditched the car,
I could go on to Sue.
440
00:31:59,585 --> 00:32:02,545
But those five minutes at the state line
made me realize
441
00:32:02,629 --> 00:32:05,631
it might be a good idea to find out
a little bit about Mr. Haskell.
442
00:32:06,633 --> 00:32:09,302
Then if anybody asked me questions,
I could give the right answers.
443
00:32:10,345 --> 00:32:13,806
The first thing I found out
was that I had $768.
444
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:17,768
This was a lot of jack, but believe me,
445
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:19,895
it was the kind of money
I'd rather not have.
446
00:32:27,446 --> 00:32:31,115
And then I found out from a letter
Haskell was carting around in his bag
447
00:32:31,199 --> 00:32:33,784
that he wasn't the openhanded,
easygoing big shot
448
00:32:33,869 --> 00:32:36,412
who went around buying dinners
for strange hitchhikers.
449
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:39,832
Before I got done reading it,
I saw him more as a chiseler.
450
00:32:41,209 --> 00:32:43,836
It was written
to his old man in California,
451
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,796
the one he hadn't seen in so many years.
452
00:32:46,590 --> 00:32:51,385
In it, Haskell posed as a salesman...
of hymnals, of all things.
453
00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:54,388
It was easy to see where Haskell expected
454
00:32:54,473 --> 00:32:56,849
to raise a new stake
for his book in Miami...
455
00:32:57,684 --> 00:32:59,143
by rooking his old man.
456
00:33:00,771 --> 00:33:03,689
That was about all I found out
from his effects.
457
00:33:03,774 --> 00:33:04,857
And it was enough.
458
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:09,737
I told myself maybe old man Haskell
was lucky his son kicked off.
459
00:33:10,864 --> 00:33:12,531
He would never know it,
460
00:33:12,616 --> 00:33:16,077
but it saved him from taking a flier
in sacred literature preferred.
461
00:33:22,793 --> 00:33:24,377
[birds chirping]
462
00:33:41,186 --> 00:33:43,979
Near the airport at Desert Center,
I pulled up for water.
463
00:33:45,607 --> 00:33:46,691
There was a woman.
464
00:33:51,321 --> 00:33:53,614
Hey, you. Come on if you want a ride.
465
00:34:07,587 --> 00:34:08,587
[car hood slams]
466
00:34:39,995 --> 00:34:41,662
How far you goin'?
467
00:34:41,747 --> 00:34:43,122
How far are you going?
468
00:34:43,749 --> 00:34:46,792
[Al narrating] That took me by surprise.
I turned my head to look her over.
469
00:34:47,836 --> 00:34:50,588
She was facing straight ahead,
so I couldn't see her eyes.
470
00:34:51,006 --> 00:34:53,758
But she was young, not more than 24.
471
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:56,844
Man, she looked as if
she'd just been thrown off
472
00:34:56,928 --> 00:34:59,305
the crummiest freight train in the world.
473
00:35:00,140 --> 00:35:02,641
Yet, in spite of this,
I got the impression of beauty.
474
00:35:03,727 --> 00:35:06,020
Not the beauty of a movie actress,
mind you,
475
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,689
or the beauty you dream about
when you're with your wife,
476
00:35:08,774 --> 00:35:10,065
but a natural beauty,
477
00:35:10,567 --> 00:35:13,194
a beauty that's almost homely
because it's so real.
478
00:35:15,363 --> 00:35:17,114
Then, suddenly, she turned to face me.
479
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:20,409
- How far did you say you were going?
- Los Angeles.
480
00:35:20,494 --> 00:35:21,410
LA?
481
00:35:22,287 --> 00:35:25,790
- LA's good enough for me, mister.
- That's what I was afraid of.
482
00:35:25,874 --> 00:35:29,084
- What'd you say?
- Oh, nothing. Just thinking out loud.
483
00:35:29,169 --> 00:35:31,128
People get in trouble for doing that.
484
00:35:32,005 --> 00:35:34,715
- What's your name?
- You can call me Vera, if you like.
485
00:35:35,509 --> 00:35:37,176
- You live in Los Angeles?
- No.
486
00:35:39,054 --> 00:35:41,555
- Where you coming from?
- Oh, back there.
487
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,098
- Needles?
- No.
488
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:47,102
Oh, sure. Phoenix.
You look just like a Phoenix girl.
489
00:35:47,687 --> 00:35:49,855
- Are the girls in Phoenix that bad?
- [chuckles]
490
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:51,774
[Al narrating]
The girl must have been pretty tired
491
00:35:51,858 --> 00:35:54,944
because she fell asleep not 20 minutes
after she stepped into the car.
492
00:35:55,737 --> 00:35:59,782
She lay sprawled out with her head resting
against the far door, like Haskell.
493
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:03,452
I didn't like that part of it much,
but I didn't wake her up.
494
00:36:04,955 --> 00:36:06,872
It wasn't that this girl still worried me.
495
00:36:07,374 --> 00:36:10,376
I'd gotten over that funny feeling
I had when she looked at me,
496
00:36:10,460 --> 00:36:13,003
which I put down
as just my jangled nerves.
497
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:16,590
With her eyes closed
and the tenseness gone out of her,
498
00:36:16,675 --> 00:36:18,133
she seemed harmless enough.
499
00:36:18,885 --> 00:36:21,929
Instead of disliking her,
I began to feel sorry for her.
500
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:25,182
The poor kid probably
had had a rough time of it.
501
00:36:26,476 --> 00:36:27,977
Who was she, anyway?
502
00:36:28,061 --> 00:36:30,479
And why was she going to Los Angeles?
503
00:36:30,564 --> 00:36:32,898
And where'd she come from
in the first place?
504
00:36:32,983 --> 00:36:34,775
The only thing I knew about her
was her name.
505
00:36:35,777 --> 00:36:37,361
Not that it made any difference.
506
00:36:37,445 --> 00:36:39,738
A few hours more and we'd be in Hollywood.
507
00:36:39,823 --> 00:36:42,241
I'd forget where I parked the car
and look up Sue.
508
00:36:43,118 --> 00:36:45,286
This nightmare of being a dead man
would be over.
509
00:36:46,121 --> 00:36:48,831
Who this dame was, well,
it was no business of mine.
510
00:36:48,915 --> 00:36:52,918
Where did you leave his body?
Where did you leave the owner of this car?
511
00:36:53,003 --> 00:36:54,712
You're not fooling anyone.
512
00:36:55,297 --> 00:36:58,173
This buggy belongs to a guy named Haskell.
That's not you, mister.
513
00:36:58,258 --> 00:37:01,343
You're out of your mind. That's my name.
Charles Haskell. I can prove it.
514
00:37:01,428 --> 00:37:03,512
- Here's my driver's license.
- Save yourself the trouble, mister.
515
00:37:03,597 --> 00:37:05,848
Having Haskell's wallet
only makes it worse.
516
00:37:05,932 --> 00:37:08,017
It just so happens
I rode with Charlie Haskell
517
00:37:08,101 --> 00:37:09,685
all the way from Louisiana.
518
00:37:09,769 --> 00:37:11,854
He picked me up outside of Shreveport.
519
00:37:11,938 --> 00:37:13,564
- You rode...
- You heard me.
520
00:37:14,149 --> 00:37:15,983
[Al narrating] Then it all came back to me.
521
00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:18,652
All the talk about dueling
and scars and scratches.
522
00:37:19,613 --> 00:37:21,363
There was no doubt about it.
523
00:37:21,448 --> 00:37:23,949
Vera must be the woman
Haskell had mentioned.
524
00:37:24,034 --> 00:37:25,784
She must have passed me while I slept.
525
00:37:25,869 --> 00:37:28,871
Well? Well, I'm waiting.
526
00:37:28,955 --> 00:37:30,331
My goose was cooked.
527
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:32,082
She had me.
528
00:37:32,876 --> 00:37:34,668
That Haskell guy wasn't dead yet.
529
00:37:35,253 --> 00:37:38,172
He wasn't stretched out stiff and cold
in any Arizona gully.
530
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:41,425
He was sitting right there in the car,
laughing like mad while he haunted me.
531
00:37:43,345 --> 00:37:44,303
Well?
532
00:37:44,387 --> 00:37:47,514
There was nothing I could say.
It was her move.
533
00:37:48,224 --> 00:37:50,142
Vera, whatever her name was.
534
00:37:50,226 --> 00:37:52,478
It was just my luck
picking her up on the road.
535
00:37:53,313 --> 00:37:56,148
It couldn't have been Helen
or Mary or Evelyn or Ruth.
536
00:37:57,025 --> 00:37:59,526
It had to be the very last person
I should ever have met.
537
00:38:00,820 --> 00:38:01,820
That's life.
538
00:38:02,697 --> 00:38:05,491
Whichever way you turn,
fate sticks out a foot to trip you.
539
00:38:11,081 --> 00:38:13,457
I told her everything,
but she didn't believe my story.
540
00:38:13,541 --> 00:38:15,167
I should've saved my breath.
541
00:38:15,251 --> 00:38:17,670
That's the greatest cock-and-bull story
I ever heard.
542
00:38:17,754 --> 00:38:19,380
So he fell out of his car.
543
00:38:19,464 --> 00:38:21,507
Say, who do you think
you're talking to, a hick?
544
00:38:21,591 --> 00:38:23,592
Listen, mister. I've been around.
545
00:38:23,677 --> 00:38:27,054
And I know a wrong guy when I see one.
What'd you do, kiss him with a wrench?
546
00:38:27,138 --> 00:38:29,264
Now wait a minute.
What I told you was true.
547
00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:30,891
You see, that's why I had to do it.
548
00:38:30,976 --> 00:38:33,352
You think I killed him.
Well, the cops would've thought so too.
549
00:38:33,436 --> 00:38:35,187
Yeah, well maybe they still think so.
550
00:38:36,106 --> 00:38:38,482
What makes you so sure
I'll shut up about this?
551
00:38:38,566 --> 00:38:41,318
Vera, I'm innocent.
Give me a break, will you?
552
00:38:42,696 --> 00:38:44,488
It won't do me any good
having you pinched.
553
00:38:44,572 --> 00:38:46,115
The cops are no friends of mine.
554
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:49,076
Now, if there was a reward...
But there isn't.
555
00:38:49,703 --> 00:38:51,912
- Thanks.
- Don't thank me yet.
556
00:38:51,997 --> 00:38:55,332
I'm not through with you by a long shot.
Let's see that roll.
557
00:39:02,090 --> 00:39:03,674
Is that all Haskell had?
558
00:39:03,758 --> 00:39:05,509
- Isn't it enough?
- No, I thought he had more.
559
00:39:05,593 --> 00:39:07,845
Not that I know of. You can search me
if you think I'm holding out on you.
560
00:39:07,929 --> 00:39:09,596
Well, maybe I will at that.
561
00:39:09,681 --> 00:39:11,807
He told me he was gonna bet $3,000
562
00:39:11,891 --> 00:39:14,560
on a horse named Paradisiacal
on Wednesday at Santa Anita.
563
00:39:14,644 --> 00:39:16,979
- He was stringing you along. He meant 300.
- Maybe.
564
00:39:17,063 --> 00:39:20,357
Sure. Three bucks, 300.
He was a piece of cheese, a big blowhard.
565
00:39:20,442 --> 00:39:23,277
Listen, mister. Don't try and tell me
anything about Charlie Haskell.
566
00:39:23,361 --> 00:39:25,279
Remember, I knew him better than you did.
567
00:39:25,363 --> 00:39:28,073
Okay, then you knew he was a four-flusher.
That explains the three-grand bet.
568
00:39:28,158 --> 00:39:30,576
I'm not so sure
he didn't have that three grand.
569
00:39:30,660 --> 00:39:34,121
Why should I believe you?
You got all the earmarks of a cheap crook.
570
00:39:34,205 --> 00:39:35,622
- Now, wait a minute.
- Shut up.
571
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:37,207
You're a cheap crook and you killed him.
572
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:39,418
For two cents,
I'd change my mind and turn you in.
573
00:39:39,502 --> 00:39:40,794
I don't like you!
574
00:39:40,879 --> 00:39:43,338
- All right, all right. Don't get sore.
- I'm not getting sore.
575
00:39:43,423 --> 00:39:45,507
But just remember who's boss around here.
576
00:39:45,592 --> 00:39:47,134
If you shut up
and don't give me any arguments,
577
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:48,677
you'll have nothing to worry about.
578
00:39:48,762 --> 00:39:50,512
But if you act wise, well, mister,
579
00:39:50,597 --> 00:39:53,182
you'll pop into jail so fast
it'll give you the bends.
580
00:39:53,266 --> 00:39:55,059
- I'm not arguing.
- Well, see that you don't.
581
00:39:55,143 --> 00:39:56,477
You know, as crooked as you look,
582
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:59,605
I'd hate to see a fella as young as you
wind up sniffing that perfume
583
00:39:59,689 --> 00:40:01,482
that Arizona hands out free to murderers.
584
00:40:01,566 --> 00:40:03,233
- I'm not a murderer.
- Of course you're not.
585
00:40:03,318 --> 00:40:04,693
Haskell knocked his own head off.
586
00:40:04,778 --> 00:40:06,278
He fell. That's how it happened,
just like I told you.
587
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:08,530
Sure, and then he made you a present
of his belongings.
588
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:10,324
- I explained why...
- Oh, skip it.
589
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:13,118
Doesn't make a difference one way
or another. I'm not a mourner.
590
00:40:13,203 --> 00:40:15,412
I liked Haskell even less than I like you.
591
00:40:15,955 --> 00:40:17,372
Yeah, I saw what you did to him.
592
00:40:17,457 --> 00:40:19,541
- What do you mean?
- Those scratches on his wrists.
593
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:20,959
Sure, I scratched him.
594
00:40:21,961 --> 00:40:23,128
I'll say you did.
595
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:26,673
So your idea was
to drive the car a little way,
596
00:40:26,758 --> 00:40:28,967
maybe into San Bernardino,
and then leave it.
597
00:40:29,052 --> 00:40:30,385
You weren't gonna sell it?
598
00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:33,597
Sell it? You think I'm crazy?
Somebody else's car?
599
00:40:33,681 --> 00:40:36,266
All I wanna do is leave it somewhere
and forget I ever saw it.
600
00:40:36,351 --> 00:40:39,269
Not only don't you have any scruples,
you don't have any brains.
601
00:40:39,354 --> 00:40:42,022
- I don't get you.
- Maybe it's a good thing you met me.
602
00:40:42,107 --> 00:40:44,983
You would of got yourself caught, sure.
Why, you dope.
603
00:40:45,068 --> 00:40:48,362
Don't you know a deserted automobile
always rates an investigation?
604
00:40:48,696 --> 00:40:49,863
Huh?
605
00:40:49,948 --> 00:40:52,783
Look. The cops find a car.
Then they get curious.
606
00:40:52,867 --> 00:40:54,493
They wonder where the owner is.
607
00:40:54,577 --> 00:40:57,996
So, all right, they don't trace Haskell.
They trace you.
608
00:40:58,206 --> 00:40:59,790
I never thought of that.
609
00:40:59,874 --> 00:41:02,626
The only safe way to get rid of the car
is to sell it to a dealer,
610
00:41:02,710 --> 00:41:04,253
get it registered under a new name.
611
00:41:04,754 --> 00:41:06,004
Say, stop at the next store.
612
00:41:06,089 --> 00:41:08,882
I wanna get a bottle and do some shopping
before we hit LA.
613
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:12,219
Okay. Soon as we find a place,
I'll drop you off and pick you up later.
614
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:14,429
Nothin' doin'. You're coming in too.
615
00:41:14,514 --> 00:41:17,349
From now on,
you and I are like the Siamese twins.
616
00:41:17,433 --> 00:41:19,434
Have it your way,
but I don't get the point.
617
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:21,687
The point is I don't want you to get lost.
618
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:23,397
I'm not gonna beat it,
if that's what you're afraid of.
619
00:41:23,481 --> 00:41:24,648
I'll say you're not.
620
00:41:24,732 --> 00:41:27,568
Well, I'm gonna see that you sell this car
so you don't get caught.
621
00:41:27,652 --> 00:41:31,446
Thanks. Of course, your interest
wouldn't be financial, would it?
622
00:41:31,531 --> 00:41:33,699
You wouldn't want
a small percentage of the profits?
623
00:41:34,284 --> 00:41:37,202
Well, now that you insist,
how can I refuse?
624
00:41:37,287 --> 00:41:38,912
A hundred percent'll do.
625
00:41:38,997 --> 00:41:40,873
Fine. I'm relieved.
626
00:41:40,957 --> 00:41:43,208
I thought for a moment
you were gonna take it all.
627
00:41:43,293 --> 00:41:44,710
I don't want to be a hog.
628
00:41:46,588 --> 00:41:48,672
[Al narrating] A few hours later,
we were in Hollywood.
629
00:41:49,090 --> 00:41:51,466
I was recognizing places
Sue had written about.
630
00:41:52,051 --> 00:41:55,012
It struck me that,
far from being at the end of the trip,
631
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:58,098
there was a greater distance between Sue
and me than when I started out.
632
00:41:59,434 --> 00:42:02,060
Vera wasn't kidding
with that Siamese twins crack.
633
00:42:02,687 --> 00:42:06,106
She rented a little apartment
as Mrs. Charles Haskell.
634
00:42:07,025 --> 00:42:10,110
When I objected to this, she explained
that it was on account of the car.
635
00:42:10,612 --> 00:42:12,154
A dealer might think something was funny
636
00:42:12,238 --> 00:42:14,531
if he called and found
we were using different names.
637
00:42:19,704 --> 00:42:21,538
- Home, sweet home.
- Yeah.
638
00:42:22,457 --> 00:42:23,498
Not bad, either.
639
00:42:31,466 --> 00:42:33,842
In case there's any doubt in your mind,
I'll take the bedroom.
640
00:42:34,302 --> 00:42:35,177
Yeah.
641
00:42:36,471 --> 00:42:37,846
Sure is stuffy in here.
642
00:42:45,980 --> 00:42:47,689
- Keep the window shut.
- Okay.
643
00:42:50,026 --> 00:42:53,487
The old crow downstairs said
there's a folding bed behind this door.
644
00:42:59,535 --> 00:43:00,702
You know how to work it?
645
00:43:04,457 --> 00:43:05,540
I invented it.
646
00:43:09,504 --> 00:43:11,630
- Some joint.
- One can't have everything.
647
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,387
I'm first in the bathtub.
648
00:43:19,180 --> 00:43:22,140
I don't know why,
but I figured you would be.
649
00:43:31,985 --> 00:43:35,570
Boy, oh, boy. [sighs]
It sure feels good to be clean again.
650
00:43:36,948 --> 00:43:38,407
I must be ten pounds lighter.
651
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:40,450
You must be.
652
00:43:40,535 --> 00:43:42,077
[saxophone playing]
653
00:43:42,161 --> 00:43:45,372
Well, hitchin' rides isn't exactly the way
you keep your schoolgirl complexion.
654
00:43:49,585 --> 00:43:51,712
I wish that guy with the sax
would give up.
655
00:43:53,089 --> 00:43:54,423
It gets on my nerves.
656
00:43:56,509 --> 00:43:57,509
Forget it.
657
00:44:00,138 --> 00:44:01,179
Have a drink.
658
00:44:02,390 --> 00:44:04,141
Aren't you afraid
I'm gonna take you up on it?
659
00:44:06,269 --> 00:44:08,562
If I didn't wanna give you a drink,
I wouldn't have offered it.
660
00:44:09,731 --> 00:44:12,983
Why be a sorehead, Roberts?
You got yourself into this thing.
661
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:15,902
You should be grateful
I'm not turning you in.
662
00:44:16,904 --> 00:44:19,114
Why, if I wasn't regular,
you'd be in the pen this minute
663
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:22,284
being photographed, fingerprinted,
and being pushed around by the cops.
664
00:44:23,077 --> 00:44:25,620
So cheer up. Get rid of that long puss.
665
00:44:27,874 --> 00:44:29,666
Or is your conscience bothering you?
666
00:44:34,672 --> 00:44:35,505
No.
667
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:37,382
It isn't.
668
00:44:37,467 --> 00:44:39,468
Swell. That's the spirit.
669
00:44:41,012 --> 00:44:43,180
He's dead,
and no moaning around will bring him back.
670
00:44:46,684 --> 00:44:50,312
Anyway, I never could understand this worrying
about something that's over and done with.
671
00:44:50,396 --> 00:44:52,439
Now look, Vera.
For the last time, I didn't kill him.
672
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:53,982
Haskell was a sick man.
673
00:44:54,067 --> 00:44:56,109
Maybe he was dead before he fell
out of the car. I don't know.
674
00:44:56,194 --> 00:44:58,403
Sure, sure. He died of old age.
675
00:44:59,364 --> 00:45:00,364
All right.
676
00:45:01,324 --> 00:45:02,824
So if it'll make you sociable...
677
00:45:04,577 --> 00:45:05,827
you didn't kill him.
678
00:45:16,464 --> 00:45:17,297
Thanks.
679
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:31,186
- We're outta liquor, Roberts.
- Yeah.
680
00:45:32,313 --> 00:45:35,440
Too bad.
I felt like getting tight tonight.
681
00:45:35,525 --> 00:45:37,567
Well, I think you succeeded.
682
00:45:37,652 --> 00:45:40,737
- Am I tight?
- As a prima donna's corset.
683
00:45:40,822 --> 00:45:42,197
- That's good.
- [glass clatters]
684
00:45:42,281 --> 00:45:44,074
I wanted to get tight.
685
00:45:44,158 --> 00:45:46,785
Why? What have you got to get tight about?
686
00:45:46,869 --> 00:45:49,246
Oh, I don't know. A few things.
687
00:45:50,123 --> 00:45:50,956
[Al] Huh.
688
00:45:52,583 --> 00:45:54,042
You should have my worries.
689
00:45:54,127 --> 00:45:56,670
If I had your troubles, I'd stay sober.
690
00:45:56,754 --> 00:45:58,380
And I've got the key to that door.
691
00:46:01,926 --> 00:46:04,678
Yeah. Maybe you're right.
692
00:46:04,762 --> 00:46:06,388
I'm always right.
693
00:46:07,723 --> 00:46:10,183
You know, I don't like your attitude,
Roberts.
694
00:46:10,268 --> 00:46:12,018
Well, there's a lot of things I don't like.
695
00:46:13,479 --> 00:46:14,813
Say...
696
00:46:17,191 --> 00:46:19,276
But life's like a ball game.
697
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,111
You got to take a swing
at whatever comes along
698
00:46:21,195 --> 00:46:23,613
before you wake up
and find it's the ninth inning.
699
00:46:24,532 --> 00:46:25,782
Bet you read that somewhere.
700
00:46:25,867 --> 00:46:29,703
That's the trouble with you, Roberts.
All you do is bellyache.
701
00:46:30,788 --> 00:46:35,500
You could have taken it easy and,
well, try and make the best of things.
702
00:46:35,585 --> 00:46:38,378
But maybe that's what's wrong
with the whole world.
703
00:46:38,463 --> 00:46:40,297
Get the professor.
704
00:46:40,381 --> 00:46:43,133
People knock themselves out
trying to buck fate.
705
00:46:43,217 --> 00:46:46,386
Now take you, for instance.
You're lucky to be alive.
706
00:46:46,471 --> 00:46:49,055
Why, suppose Haskell had pulled open
your door?
707
00:46:49,140 --> 00:46:51,850
You'd be playing a harp now.
Think of that.
708
00:46:53,603 --> 00:46:56,855
You think of it. I'm tired of thinking.
709
00:46:56,939 --> 00:46:59,816
There's plenty of people dying this minute
710
00:46:59,901 --> 00:47:02,402
that would give anything
to trade places with you.
711
00:47:04,363 --> 00:47:05,989
I know what I'm talking about.
712
00:47:07,033 --> 00:47:10,744
I'm not so sure.
At least they know they're done for.
713
00:47:10,828 --> 00:47:13,580
They don't just sweat blood
wondering if they are.
714
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:16,750
Your philosophy stinks, pal.
715
00:47:18,002 --> 00:47:21,796
We all know we're gonna kick off someday.
It's only a question of when.
716
00:47:23,591 --> 00:47:26,551
But what got us on this subject anyway?
717
00:47:26,636 --> 00:47:28,553
We'll be discussing politics next.
718
00:47:29,388 --> 00:47:30,472
Yeah.
719
00:47:32,058 --> 00:47:33,433
Where'd you hide the butts?
720
00:47:34,310 --> 00:47:35,936
On the table, sucker.
721
00:47:43,611 --> 00:47:47,113
[Al narrating] We bored each other with
conversation for a couple of hours longer.
722
00:47:47,198 --> 00:47:50,408
Every five minutes, one of us was wishing
we had another bottle or a radio
723
00:47:50,493 --> 00:47:52,118
or something to read.
724
00:47:53,538 --> 00:47:55,247
Then finally we ran out of chat.
725
00:47:56,207 --> 00:47:57,499
I know it's only eleven o'clock,
726
00:47:57,583 --> 00:48:00,085
but I want to get up early
and make the rounds to the used car lots.
727
00:48:00,169 --> 00:48:03,088
No hurry about that.
We got all the time in the world.
728
00:48:03,172 --> 00:48:05,257
Maybe you have, but if you think
I want to stay cooped up in this place
729
00:48:05,341 --> 00:48:06,925
any longer than I have to, you're batty.
730
00:48:07,009 --> 00:48:10,262
It's not a bad place. Pay plenty
for diggings like this in New York.
731
00:48:10,346 --> 00:48:12,347
I wouldn't like it if it was the Ritz.
732
00:48:12,431 --> 00:48:14,849
[coughs]
733
00:48:16,602 --> 00:48:18,144
Rotten liquor. [coughs]
734
00:48:18,229 --> 00:48:20,981
You got a mean cough.
Ought to do something about it.
735
00:48:21,065 --> 00:48:22,315
I'll be all right.
736
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,817
That's what Camille said.
737
00:48:24,527 --> 00:48:25,652
Who?
738
00:48:25,736 --> 00:48:27,195
Nobody you know.
739
00:48:30,908 --> 00:48:33,368
- Wasn't that the dame that died of consumption?
- Yeah.
740
00:48:34,704 --> 00:48:37,289
Wouldn't it be a break for you
if I did kick off.
741
00:48:37,373 --> 00:48:40,333
You'd be free
with all Haskell's dough and car.
742
00:48:40,418 --> 00:48:42,043
I don't want to see anybody die.
743
00:48:43,212 --> 00:48:44,921
Not even me?
744
00:48:45,006 --> 00:48:48,008
Especially not you. One person died on me.
745
00:48:48,092 --> 00:48:50,510
If you did, well, that's all I need.
746
00:48:52,388 --> 00:48:54,222
You don't like me, do you, Roberts?
747
00:48:55,933 --> 00:48:56,975
Like you?
748
00:48:58,352 --> 00:48:59,769
I love you.
749
00:49:01,022 --> 00:49:02,981
My favorite sport is being kept prisoner.
750
00:49:04,025 --> 00:49:07,485
After we sell the car, you can go to blazes
for all I care, but not until then.
751
00:49:14,910 --> 00:49:16,536
I'm going to bed.
752
00:49:24,962 --> 00:49:26,463
Good night, Roberts.
753
00:49:26,547 --> 00:49:29,549
Don't try and sneak away during the night.
All the doors are locked.
754
00:49:29,634 --> 00:49:33,136
Anyway, if I find you gone in the morning,
I'll notify the police.
755
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:35,889
- They'll pick you up.
- Don't worry. I know when I'm in a spot.
756
00:49:36,974 --> 00:49:40,935
Well, good night. I hope that portable
rack isn't too uncomfortable for you.
757
00:49:41,020 --> 00:49:43,146
Don't lose any sleep over it,
will you, Vera?
758
00:49:44,940 --> 00:49:47,025
[key scratching lock]
759
00:50:20,601 --> 00:50:21,935
[softly] CRestview...
760
00:50:23,813 --> 00:50:29,651
6... 5... 7,
761
00:50:29,735 --> 00:50:32,654
[whispers] 2... 3.
762
00:50:33,948 --> 00:50:35,073
Hello?
763
00:50:36,117 --> 00:50:37,117
Hello!
764
00:50:38,327 --> 00:50:39,411
Hello?
765
00:50:40,579 --> 00:50:41,746
Hello?
766
00:50:48,295 --> 00:50:51,881
No. Not yet, darling.
767
00:50:53,134 --> 00:50:54,509
Tomorrow.
768
00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:56,928
Maybe.
769
00:51:00,391 --> 00:51:01,891
[Al narrating] if this were fiction,
770
00:51:01,976 --> 00:51:05,562
I would fall in love with her, marry her,
and make a respectable woman of her,
771
00:51:05,646 --> 00:51:09,816
or else she'd make some supreme,
class-A sacrifice for me and die.
772
00:51:11,152 --> 00:51:13,361
Sue and I would ball a little
over her grave
773
00:51:13,446 --> 00:51:16,448
and make some crack about
"there's good in all of us."
774
00:51:16,532 --> 00:51:20,160
But Vera, unfortunately,
was just as rotten in the morning
775
00:51:20,244 --> 00:51:21,870
as she'd been the night before.
776
00:51:21,954 --> 00:51:23,455
[knocking]
777
00:51:23,539 --> 00:51:25,415
All right, all right, I'm coming.
778
00:51:25,499 --> 00:51:27,459
[Al] Look, Vera, it's almost noon.
779
00:51:29,003 --> 00:51:31,254
So what?
The dealers will be there all day.
780
00:51:31,338 --> 00:51:34,007
They'll be there all year too, but it
doesn't mean I'm gonna wait that long.
781
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:36,551
Shut up.
You're making noises like a husband.
782
00:51:39,180 --> 00:51:42,932
- Well, do I rate a whistle?
- You sure do, but let's go.
783
00:51:43,017 --> 00:51:46,519
Let's go, let's go. I spend 85 bucks
and two hours preparing bait,
784
00:51:46,604 --> 00:51:48,188
and all you can say is "Let's go."
785
00:51:48,272 --> 00:51:51,274
[sighs] Come on.
786
00:51:56,071 --> 00:51:58,698
We passed a few used car lots
last night down this way.
787
00:51:58,783 --> 00:52:00,784
What do you think
we can get for this heap?
788
00:52:00,868 --> 00:52:04,496
I don't know. Plenty.
You just let me handle everything.
789
00:52:04,580 --> 00:52:06,206
You think we can get $2,000?
790
00:52:06,290 --> 00:52:07,707
I don't know. But don't worry.
791
00:52:07,792 --> 00:52:10,126
I'll squeeze as much
out of this guy as I can.
792
00:52:10,211 --> 00:52:13,296
If I let it go cheap without a fight,
he might think we've stolen the car.
793
00:52:13,380 --> 00:52:17,675
And listen, don't make any slips
and call me Roberts. That'll cook us.
794
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,636
I don't need you to tell me that.
795
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:21,930
You better just sit by
and keep your mouth closed.
796
00:52:22,014 --> 00:52:24,015
Remember, we're both in the soup
if anything happens.
797
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:25,642
Forget it and drive.
798
00:52:25,726 --> 00:52:28,144
You're my wife... Vera Haskell.
799
00:52:28,229 --> 00:52:32,315
Look, after the deal's closed, let's go
back to that place on Hollywood Boulevard
800
00:52:32,399 --> 00:52:33,942
where I saw the fur jacket.
801
00:52:34,026 --> 00:52:35,235
I want to buy it.
802
00:52:35,319 --> 00:52:37,987
After the deal's closed,
I'm saying good-bye to you.
803
00:52:38,072 --> 00:52:41,491
That's right. I forgot.
I guess I'm getting kind of used to you.
804
00:52:42,743 --> 00:52:45,036
Well, that's a habit
you can start breaking.
805
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,455
Let's try this place
in the middle of the block.
806
00:52:53,671 --> 00:52:55,129
Good afternoon. What can I do for you?
807
00:52:55,214 --> 00:52:58,508
- We're interested in selling a car.
- If the price is right.
808
00:53:01,387 --> 00:53:05,473
Well, if it's in good mechanical condition,
it should blue book for about 1,600.
809
00:53:06,475 --> 00:53:07,892
Tony, take a look at this motor.
810
00:53:07,977 --> 00:53:10,228
1,600. Are you kidding?
811
00:53:14,108 --> 00:53:15,900
[car hood opening]
812
00:53:21,448 --> 00:53:23,283
Well, maybe 1,850.
813
00:53:23,367 --> 00:53:26,744
Before I let it go for 1,850, I'll wreck it
and collect the insurance first.
814
00:53:26,829 --> 00:53:27,912
[coughs]
815
00:53:31,375 --> 00:53:33,376
Lady, this motor's seen a lot of driving.
816
00:53:39,925 --> 00:53:43,219
[Al narrating] While the mechanic
inspected the car, we haggled.
817
00:53:43,721 --> 00:53:46,973
At last, when we were all worn out,
we hit a compromise...
818
00:53:47,057 --> 00:53:48,600
his price.
819
00:53:51,896 --> 00:53:53,104
Okay, it's a deal.
820
00:53:53,188 --> 00:53:56,524
- Come in, we'll sign the papers.
- I have the ownership papers here with me.
821
00:53:56,609 --> 00:53:59,319
Look, Vera, in the meantime,
will you clean out the dash compartment?
822
00:53:59,403 --> 00:54:02,196
- There may be some stuff in it.
- All right, darling.
823
00:54:04,325 --> 00:54:06,534
1,850 bucks.
824
00:54:06,619 --> 00:54:08,244
That dirty cr...
825
00:54:15,544 --> 00:54:17,420
- Mm, New York, huh?
- Yeah.
826
00:54:17,504 --> 00:54:20,757
- But you bought the car in Miami?
- Yeah.
827
00:54:20,841 --> 00:54:22,467
Well, now, let's see about the insurance.
828
00:54:22,551 --> 00:54:24,552
We can either have it transferred
or canceled.
829
00:54:24,637 --> 00:54:27,263
Uh, what kind of insurance do you have,
Mr. Haskell?
830
00:54:28,432 --> 00:54:31,559
Well, uh, aren't all the papers there?
831
00:54:33,729 --> 00:54:37,857
I don't see any. Surely you know what type
of insurance you carry on the car.
832
00:54:37,942 --> 00:54:39,442
The name of the company?
833
00:54:40,277 --> 00:54:41,486
Yeah, but, uh...
834
00:54:41,570 --> 00:54:43,321
Well, if you'll just tell me
the name of the company,
835
00:54:43,405 --> 00:54:45,114
I'd be very glad to take care
of all the details.
836
00:54:45,199 --> 00:54:46,324
Well...
837
00:54:46,408 --> 00:54:48,409
- Did you sign the papers yet?
- Not yet.
838
00:54:48,494 --> 00:54:50,536
Well, don't. We're not selling the car.
839
00:54:50,621 --> 00:54:52,538
- Well, wait a minute, Mrs. Haskell...
- Come on, darling.
840
00:54:52,623 --> 00:54:55,917
- What's the matter? Change your mind?
- Yes. I'm sorry. I guess I have.
841
00:54:56,001 --> 00:54:57,377
- But, Vera...
- Let's go.
842
00:55:03,384 --> 00:55:06,636
You got me out of a tight spot, Vera,
but I still don't understand all this.
843
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:09,722
You will in a minute.
I almost threw away a gold mine.
844
00:55:09,807 --> 00:55:13,726
1,850 isn't to be sneezed at. The car
doesn't book for as much as I thought.
845
00:55:13,811 --> 00:55:15,478
We're not selling the car.
846
00:55:15,562 --> 00:55:17,438
You want to keep it?
Now wait a minute, Vera.
847
00:55:17,523 --> 00:55:20,608
You said yourself I wouldn't be safe
until the car was in someone else's name.
848
00:55:20,693 --> 00:55:22,360
I'd like to be free of this mess
when I go.
849
00:55:22,444 --> 00:55:24,612
That's just it, Roberts. You're not going.
850
00:55:25,531 --> 00:55:27,365
- [sighs]
- There's a drive-in at the next corner.
851
00:55:27,449 --> 00:55:30,201
Pull in there and we'll get a bite to eat
and I'll explain.
852
00:55:30,285 --> 00:55:32,453
What is this,
another one of your brilliant ideas?
853
00:55:38,794 --> 00:55:41,671
- Hello. May I take your order?
- Make mine a ham sandwich and coffee.
854
00:55:41,755 --> 00:55:44,340
- And for you, sir?
- Oh, I don't care. The same.
855
00:55:46,510 --> 00:55:47,719
Thank you.
856
00:55:52,224 --> 00:55:55,226
Get this, Vera,
I've been pretty patient so far.
857
00:55:55,310 --> 00:55:57,311
I've done everything you asked me to do,
but no more.
858
00:55:57,396 --> 00:55:59,564
- Shut up.
- You've taken Haskell's money.
859
00:55:59,648 --> 00:56:01,524
And you can have the dough we get
from selling the car,
860
00:56:01,608 --> 00:56:03,192
but you're not gonna keep me a prisoner.
861
00:56:03,277 --> 00:56:05,069
It's a good thing I bought the paper.
Look at that.
862
00:56:05,154 --> 00:56:07,030
- Vera, I'm in no mood...
- Read that.
863
00:56:17,708 --> 00:56:19,292
- No.
- Yes.
864
00:56:19,376 --> 00:56:20,960
- No, I won't do it.
- Yes, you will.
865
00:56:21,045 --> 00:56:23,254
You think I'm crazy.
It's impossible, I tell ya.
866
00:56:24,131 --> 00:56:25,173
Excuse me.
867
00:56:30,637 --> 00:56:32,138
Blow the horn when you're through.
868
00:56:35,350 --> 00:56:38,561
No one could possibly get away with an act
like that. Be wise to me in a minute.
869
00:56:38,645 --> 00:56:39,812
Don't be yellow.
870
00:56:39,897 --> 00:56:42,690
You look enough like him.
The same coloring and the same build.
871
00:56:42,775 --> 00:56:44,358
See how his clothes fit ya?
872
00:56:44,443 --> 00:56:46,235
No kidding. You almost
had me fooled for a while.
873
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:47,528
Oh, grow up, Vera.
874
00:56:47,613 --> 00:56:50,406
Don't you think a father knows his own
son? There must be other relatives.
875
00:56:50,491 --> 00:56:53,326
The father won't have to know ya.
We'll wait till he gives up the ghost.
876
00:56:53,410 --> 00:56:55,411
He's an old geezer
and he won't pull through.
877
00:56:55,496 --> 00:56:59,373
And as far as the relatives are concerned,
they haven't seen you in 15 or 20 years.
878
00:57:00,876 --> 00:57:02,585
- Eat.
- I'm not hungry.
879
00:57:03,253 --> 00:57:06,130
- And I won't do it.
- It's not as tough as it sounds.
880
00:57:06,215 --> 00:57:08,049
Remember, you've got
all kinds of identification...
881
00:57:08,133 --> 00:57:09,133
his car, letters, license...
882
00:57:09,218 --> 00:57:11,761
I could never get away with it.
It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
883
00:57:11,845 --> 00:57:13,888
The old boy has scads of dough.
884
00:57:13,972 --> 00:57:17,141
Look in the paper there. Personal fortune
assessed at over 15 million.
885
00:57:17,226 --> 00:57:18,684
He'll leave plenty, I tell ya.
886
00:57:18,769 --> 00:57:20,937
Maybe he cut off his son.
How do we know?
887
00:57:21,021 --> 00:57:23,606
It's out, Vera.
I won't have anything to do with it.
888
00:57:24,817 --> 00:57:27,068
I think you will.
889
00:57:27,152 --> 00:57:30,696
Look, Vera, I'll do anything
within reason, but not that.
890
00:57:30,781 --> 00:57:32,698
So forget it or find yourself another stooge.
891
00:57:32,783 --> 00:57:34,033
You sap!
892
00:57:34,785 --> 00:57:36,911
You'll be fixed for the rest of your life
as Charlie Haskell.
893
00:57:36,995 --> 00:57:40,081
You can take your inheritance and go away.
No more worrying about the rent.
894
00:57:40,165 --> 00:57:42,291
No sweating, scheming, wondering
where your next meal's coming from!
895
00:57:42,376 --> 00:57:43,417
Think about that, Roberts!
896
00:57:43,502 --> 00:57:46,295
Vera, please. You're talking too loud.
897
00:57:46,713 --> 00:57:49,298
On this I'm splitting 50-50 with you.
Sure, why not?
898
00:57:49,383 --> 00:57:51,050
We're both alike.
Both born in the same gutter.
899
00:57:51,135 --> 00:57:52,301
Now take it easy, Vera.
900
00:57:52,386 --> 00:57:54,637
There's people around here.
You don't know what you're talking...
901
00:57:55,806 --> 00:57:59,684
We'll wait till we read that old man
Haskell's dead. Then you show up.
902
00:57:59,768 --> 00:58:02,061
Like you read in New York
that he was sick.
903
00:58:02,146 --> 00:58:04,772
No! Suppose he doesn't die?
904
00:58:04,857 --> 00:58:06,941
He will. I know he will.
Something tells me.
905
00:58:09,611 --> 00:58:12,405
[Al narrating] But as much as I insisted
I would have no part of her scheme,
906
00:58:12,489 --> 00:58:14,448
Vera was taking it for granted I would.
907
00:58:16,535 --> 00:58:19,954
Neither of us had our mind on the cards
as we played that night.
908
00:58:20,038 --> 00:58:23,207
I knew we were just trying to kill time
between newspaper editions.
909
00:58:24,042 --> 00:58:26,002
This was a deathwatch for Vera.
910
00:58:27,129 --> 00:58:28,713
Maybe it was for me too.
911
00:58:28,797 --> 00:58:32,383
Don't you realize if I'm caught they'll want
to know where I got the car and stuff?
912
00:58:32,467 --> 00:58:35,595
- Then they'll have me on a murder charge.
- If you're smart, you won't get caught.
913
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:37,054
I knock with seven.
914
00:58:37,139 --> 00:58:39,348
And if I'm caught,
don't you realize you'll be out too?
915
00:58:39,808 --> 00:58:42,935
Eighteen points. That gives me 30.
916
00:58:44,188 --> 00:58:45,438
How will I be out?
917
00:58:45,522 --> 00:58:47,982
You'll be out $1,850 we would have gotten
on the car.
918
00:58:48,066 --> 00:58:49,483
Really, Vera, you'd be an awful chump
919
00:58:49,568 --> 00:58:51,569
if you threw away all that dough
on a dizzy long shot.
920
00:58:51,653 --> 00:58:52,904
Let me sell the bus tomorrow.
921
00:58:52,988 --> 00:58:54,655
With the money it'll bring
and what you've already got,
922
00:58:54,740 --> 00:58:56,449
a clever kid like you
can run it up in no time.
923
00:58:56,533 --> 00:58:59,035
- Then we'd both be in the clear.
- I'll be in the clear anyway.
924
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:00,912
Maybe. Maybe.
925
00:59:00,996 --> 00:59:02,580
But if I got caught...
926
00:59:03,540 --> 00:59:06,083
- I'd get good and sore at you, you know.
- You mean you'd squeal?
927
00:59:06,168 --> 00:59:08,377
- Well, no, not squeal exactly...
- Never mind what you meant!
928
00:59:11,048 --> 00:59:14,425
Even if you did tell the cops
I was in on it with you,
929
00:59:14,509 --> 00:59:15,885
what could they do to me?
930
00:59:16,929 --> 00:59:19,347
They might give me the same medicine
they gave you.
931
00:59:19,431 --> 00:59:21,140
- Yeah.
- A rope.
932
00:59:23,644 --> 00:59:25,770
But I'm on my way anyhow.
933
00:59:27,731 --> 00:59:29,732
All they'll be doing will be rushing it.
934
00:59:30,359 --> 00:59:32,818
All right. But think of the 1,850 you'd lose.
935
00:59:32,903 --> 00:59:35,655
You'd kick yourself along the block
if you let that get away from you.
936
00:59:35,739 --> 00:59:38,658
I'll take the chance. Want another drink?
937
00:59:38,742 --> 00:59:41,744
You're being a goon. That's the way
people wind up behind the eight ball.
938
00:59:41,828 --> 00:59:44,330
Once they get a few dollars,
they become greedy and want more.
939
00:59:44,414 --> 00:59:45,706
My, my.
940
00:59:45,791 --> 00:59:46,791
- Caesar.
- Who?
941
00:59:46,875 --> 00:59:49,585
You know, that Roman general?
He got his for being greedy.
942
00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:52,838
He wasn't satisfied.
So the final windup was he took the count.
943
00:59:52,923 --> 00:59:55,299
A couple of days ago you didn't have a dime.
944
00:59:55,384 --> 00:59:58,219
Why, you were so broke
you couldn't pay cash for a postage stamp.
945
00:59:58,303 --> 01:00:01,347
Now you've got almost $700,
with 1,850 in the offing.
946
01:00:01,431 --> 01:00:03,099
Take my advice. Don't try for more.
947
01:00:03,183 --> 01:00:05,768
I'm tired of this game.
Let's have some blackjack.
948
01:00:05,852 --> 01:00:06,686
Play solitaire.
949
01:00:06,770 --> 01:00:09,313
- I will, if that's the way you feel about it.
- That's the way I feel about it.
950
01:00:09,398 --> 01:00:11,607
Getting sore and throwing things
won't help much, Roberts.
951
01:00:11,692 --> 01:00:15,111
I'm merely doing you a favor. I help you out of
a jam by keepin' my mouth shut.
952
01:00:15,195 --> 01:00:18,072
I show you how to make some soft money,
and what thanks do I get?
953
01:00:18,156 --> 01:00:19,156
- Thanks?
- Sure.
954
01:00:19,241 --> 01:00:21,659
Or would you rather I called the cops and told
them you killed a man and stole his money?
955
01:00:21,743 --> 01:00:22,827
- I didn't kill anybody.
- Yes, you did.
956
01:00:22,911 --> 01:00:25,705
- No, I didn't. You know I didn't.
- All right, then.
957
01:00:28,542 --> 01:00:30,251
Suppose I call the cops?
958
01:00:30,335 --> 01:00:32,920
If you're innocent,
what do you got to be scared of?
959
01:00:33,005 --> 01:00:36,590
Okay, call 'em, you mutt. Go ahead and call 'em.
See if I care.
960
01:00:36,675 --> 01:00:39,552
- At least they'll give me a square deal.
- You want me to call 'em?
961
01:00:39,636 --> 01:00:43,597
You heard me. But I'm warning ya.
If I'm pinched, I'll swear you were in on it.
962
01:00:43,682 --> 01:00:46,976
I'll say that you helped me.
If I'm frying, I'll get even with you.
963
01:00:47,060 --> 01:00:48,686
You wouldn't dare. You're chicken!
964
01:00:48,770 --> 01:00:52,815
Yeah? Then try it and see.
Call 'em. Yeah.
965
01:00:53,650 --> 01:00:55,067
Okay, I will.
966
01:00:57,112 --> 01:01:00,489
[dialing]
967
01:01:07,706 --> 01:01:09,915
Information.
968
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,835
I want the number
of the Hollywood police station.
969
01:01:14,713 --> 01:01:16,756
Okay, I got it. Thanks.
970
01:01:17,966 --> 01:01:19,592
[phone hook clicks]
971
01:01:19,676 --> 01:01:21,677
- [dialing]
- Wait a minute, Vera. You wouldn't do that.
972
01:01:21,762 --> 01:01:23,721
Oh, wouldn't I? Give me that
and I'll show you if I would!
973
01:01:23,805 --> 01:01:25,681
Take it easy now. Let's talk this over.
974
01:01:25,766 --> 01:01:27,558
[Al narrating]
This was early in the evening.
975
01:01:27,642 --> 01:01:32,146
And the conversation, while hectic,
was at least pitched low.
976
01:01:32,230 --> 01:01:36,776
But as the minutes passed and more obstacles
to her plan popped into my head,
977
01:01:36,860 --> 01:01:38,486
the air got blue.
978
01:01:38,570 --> 01:01:41,822
Each word coming from our lips
cracked like a whip.
979
01:01:41,907 --> 01:01:45,785
I reminded her that as Charles Haskell
I didn't even know my mother's name,
980
01:01:45,869 --> 01:01:47,578
where I'd gone to school,
981
01:01:47,662 --> 01:01:49,413
the name of my best friend,
982
01:01:49,498 --> 01:01:51,415
whether I had an Aunt Emma or not,
983
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:54,794
my religion, and if I'd ever owned a dog.
984
01:01:54,878 --> 01:01:57,463
I didn't even know
what my middle initial stood for.
985
01:01:57,547 --> 01:02:00,925
I also pointed out that the real Haskell
had a scar on his forearm.
986
01:02:01,510 --> 01:02:03,302
His people never saw that scar.
987
01:02:03,387 --> 01:02:05,596
He told me he ran away
right after putting out the kid's eye.
988
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,140
Yeah, but his father knew he was cut.
There'd have to be some kind of mark.
989
01:02:08,225 --> 01:02:10,434
So what?
990
01:02:10,519 --> 01:02:14,438
The old man's dead or will be.
I hope by tomorrow morning's papers.
991
01:02:14,523 --> 01:02:18,025
Anyway, you could cut yourself
a little, couldn't ya?
992
01:02:19,027 --> 01:02:22,321
Boy, for that kind of dough,
I'd let you cut my leg off.
993
01:02:22,406 --> 01:02:23,989
You're drunk and you're crazy mad, Vera.
994
01:02:24,074 --> 01:02:26,033
Turn me in if you want to,
but I won't get mixed up in this.
995
01:02:26,118 --> 01:02:28,160
Besides, how do we know?
Haskell was such a phony.
996
01:02:28,245 --> 01:02:30,371
Maybe he wasn't the man's son at all.
Maybe he just dreamed it up.
997
01:02:30,455 --> 01:02:35,918
Well, dreaming or not, you won't be dreaming
when the law taps you on the shoulder.
998
01:02:36,002 --> 01:02:39,588
There's a cute little gas chamber
waiting for you, Roberts.
999
01:02:39,673 --> 01:02:43,134
And I hear extradition to Arizona's a cinch.
1000
01:02:43,218 --> 01:02:45,052
Where's that phone?
1001
01:02:45,137 --> 01:02:46,512
- Vera.
- Leave me alone!
1002
01:02:46,596 --> 01:02:50,057
- Vera!
- I wanna phone, call the police.
1003
01:02:50,767 --> 01:02:54,812
I hate you, you stinker.
You leave me alone!
1004
01:02:54,896 --> 01:02:57,106
I'll let you alone when you promise to leave
the phone where it is.
1005
01:02:57,190 --> 01:02:59,150
- You're drunk. You don't know what you're doing.
- You're hurting me.
1006
01:02:59,234 --> 01:03:00,860
Will you promise?
1007
01:03:00,944 --> 01:03:02,528
All right.
1008
01:03:07,492 --> 01:03:10,327
- You hurt me.
- I'm sorry, but...
1009
01:03:10,412 --> 01:03:13,372
- And it's hot in here! Open up a window!
- It's not hot!
1010
01:03:13,457 --> 01:03:16,125
Don't tell me!
Now do you do it or do I do it?
1011
01:03:18,086 --> 01:03:19,837
You're no gentleman, see?
1012
01:03:19,921 --> 01:03:23,299
Yeah. All right, I'll open up the window.
1013
01:03:26,428 --> 01:03:27,511
Vera!
1014
01:03:31,892 --> 01:03:34,643
Vera, open the door.
Please open the door.
1015
01:03:34,728 --> 01:03:36,854
Vera, open the door.
Don't use the phone. Listen to me.
1016
01:03:37,522 --> 01:03:40,983
I don't like you, Roberts.
You're no gentleman, see?
1017
01:03:41,067 --> 01:03:45,154
You hurt my hand,
and I'm gonna get even with you.
1018
01:03:45,238 --> 01:03:48,407
If you don't open the door,
I'm gonna kick it down, Vera.
1019
01:03:48,492 --> 01:03:51,368
Vera, don't call the cops.
Listen to me, I'll do anything you say.
1020
01:03:52,287 --> 01:03:53,746
Vera, let me in!
1021
01:03:55,207 --> 01:03:56,665
I'll break the phone!
1022
01:04:14,267 --> 01:04:17,269
[grunting]
1023
01:04:22,609 --> 01:04:23,943
Vera.
1024
01:04:34,579 --> 01:04:36,539
[Al narrating] The world is full of skeptics.
1025
01:04:37,290 --> 01:04:39,667
I know. I'm one myself.
1026
01:04:40,669 --> 01:04:43,712
In the Haskell business, how many of you
would believe he fell out of the car?
1027
01:04:43,797 --> 01:04:46,173
And now, after killing Vera
without really meaning to do it,
1028
01:04:46,258 --> 01:04:48,676
how many of you would believe
it wasn't premeditated?
1029
01:04:49,719 --> 01:04:53,264
In a jury room, every last man of you
would go down shouting
1030
01:04:53,348 --> 01:04:56,058
that she had me over a barrel
and my only out was force.
1031
01:04:58,103 --> 01:04:59,728
The room was still.
1032
01:05:00,730 --> 01:05:03,691
So quiet that for a while I'd wondered
if I'd suddenly gone deaf.
1033
01:05:04,484 --> 01:05:06,235
It was pure fear, of course.
1034
01:05:06,319 --> 01:05:08,195
And I was hysterical,
1035
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:09,989
but without making a sound.
1036
01:05:11,324 --> 01:05:14,285
Vera was dead, and I was her murderer.
1037
01:05:15,370 --> 01:05:19,873
Murderer. What an awful word that is.
But I'd become one.
1038
01:05:19,958 --> 01:05:22,042
I'd better not get caught.
1039
01:05:22,127 --> 01:05:24,628
What evidence there was around the place
had to be destroyed.
1040
01:05:24,713 --> 01:05:26,505
And from the looks of things, there was plenty.
1041
01:05:26,590 --> 01:05:28,299
Looking around the room at things we'd bought
1042
01:05:28,383 --> 01:05:30,801
was like looking into the faces of
a hundred people who'd seen us together
1043
01:05:30,885 --> 01:05:32,803
and who remembered me.
1044
01:05:32,887 --> 01:05:35,306
This was the kind of testimony
I couldn't rub out.
1045
01:05:36,808 --> 01:05:38,058
No.
1046
01:05:38,143 --> 01:05:41,312
I could burn clothes and hide bottles
for the next five years.
1047
01:05:41,396 --> 01:05:42,855
There'd always be witnesses.
1048
01:05:42,939 --> 01:05:44,732
The landlady for one.
She could identify me.
1049
01:05:44,816 --> 01:05:46,233
The car dealer, the waitress in the drive-in,
1050
01:05:46,318 --> 01:05:48,819
the girl in the dress shop,
and that guy in the liquor store.
1051
01:05:48,903 --> 01:05:50,696
They could all identify me.
1052
01:05:52,032 --> 01:05:55,868
I was cooked. Done for.
I had to get out of there.
1053
01:05:57,203 --> 01:05:59,330
While once I remained beside a dead body
1054
01:05:59,414 --> 01:06:02,416
planning carefully how to avoid
being accused of killing him,
1055
01:06:02,500 --> 01:06:04,752
this time I couldn't.
1056
01:06:04,836 --> 01:06:06,503
This time I was guilty.
1057
01:06:07,422 --> 01:06:09,923
I knew it. Felt it.
1058
01:06:10,967 --> 01:06:13,218
I was like a guy suffering from shock.
1059
01:06:13,303 --> 01:06:14,970
Things were whirling around in my head.
1060
01:06:15,055 --> 01:06:17,890
I couldn't make myself think right.
1061
01:06:17,974 --> 01:06:21,435
All I could think of was the guy with
the saxophone and what he was playing.
1062
01:06:22,437 --> 01:06:24,021
It wasn't a love song anymore.
1063
01:06:24,814 --> 01:06:26,565
It was a dirge.

[jukebox: up-tempo band music]
1065
01:07:14,197 --> 01:07:16,615
[Al narrating]
But my problems weren't solved.
1066
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:19,493
I had to stay away from New York
for all time.
1067
01:07:20,328 --> 01:07:23,622
Because Al Roberts was listed as dead
and had to stay dead.
1068
01:07:24,332 --> 01:07:25,999
And I could never go back to Hollywood.
1069
01:07:26,835 --> 01:07:28,794
Someone might recognize me as Haskell.
1070
01:07:30,130 --> 01:07:33,048
- Then, too, there was Sue.
- [music stops]
1071
01:07:34,467 --> 01:07:37,803
I could never go to her with a thing
like this hanging over my head.
1072
01:07:39,180 --> 01:07:42,474
All I could do was pray she'd be happy.
1073
01:07:53,486 --> 01:07:57,656
I was in Bakersfield before I read
that Vera's body was discovered.
1074
01:07:57,741 --> 01:08:01,368
And that the police were looking for Haskell
in connection with his wife's murder.
1075
01:08:02,871 --> 01:08:04,413
Isn't that a laugh?
1076
01:08:05,081 --> 01:08:09,001
Haskell got me into this mess
and Haskell was getting me out of it.
1077
01:08:09,085 --> 01:08:11,170
The police were searching for a dead man.
1078
01:08:14,674 --> 01:08:16,884
I keep trying to forget what happened...
1079
01:08:18,261 --> 01:08:22,973
and wonder what my life might have been
if that car of Haskell's hadn't stopped.
1080
01:08:24,768 --> 01:08:26,935
But one thing I don't have to wonder about.
1081
01:08:28,146 --> 01:08:29,605
I know.
1082
01:08:31,107 --> 01:08:34,234
Someday a car will stop to pick me up
that I never thumbed.
1083
01:08:38,990 --> 01:08:39,865
Yes.
1084
01:08:40,742 --> 01:08:44,411
Fate... or some mysterious force
1085
01:08:44,496 --> 01:08:47,414
can put the finger on you or me
1086
01:08:47,499 --> 01:08:49,500
for no good reason at all.

Al Roberts, an unemployed piano player, hitches a ride, arriving at a roadside diner in Reno, Nevada. Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.
Al recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.
In Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.
Al realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.
Al crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.
In Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.
Back at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.
Al gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of "his wife." Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest.

00:06:43,862 --> 00:06:47,073
# And after all is said and done #
70
00:06:47,157 --> 00:06:50,284
# To think that I'm the lucky one #
71
00:06:50,368 --> 00:06:55,748
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
72
00:07:02,631 --> 00:07:04,715
[Al narrating] It wasn't much of a club, really.
73
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,300
You know the kind.
74
00:07:06,384 --> 00:07:08,385
A joint where you could have a sandwich
and a few drinks,
75
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:11,055
and run interference for your girl
on the dance floor.
76
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:15,101
- [playing romantic melody]
- I fronted the piano in there every night
77
00:07:15,185 --> 00:07:17,311
from 8:00 until the place closed up,
78
00:07:17,395 --> 00:07:19,563
which usually meant 4:00 in the morning.
79
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:22,066
A good job as jobs went in those days.
80
00:07:25,487 --> 00:07:28,739
Then, too, there was Sue,
81
00:07:28,824 --> 00:07:31,784
who made working there
a little like working in heaven.
82
00:07:32,244 --> 00:07:36,372
But how we felt about each other, well,
there was nothing very unusual in that.
83
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:39,834
I was an ordinary healthy guy,
and she was an ordinary healthy girl,
84
00:07:39,918 --> 00:07:43,170
and when you add those two together,
you get an ordinary healthy romance,
85
00:07:43,255 --> 00:07:44,672
which is the old story.
86
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:49,426
Sure. But somehow
the most wonderful thing in the world.
87
00:07:49,511 --> 00:07:51,846
[continues playing, rapidly]
88
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:59,436
All in all, I was a pretty lucky guy.
89
00:08:12,450 --> 00:08:15,494
Mr. Patterewsky, I presume?
It's beautiful.
90
00:08:15,579 --> 00:08:17,663
You're going to make Carnegie Hall yet, Al.
91
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:20,332
Yeah. As a janitor.
92
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:22,251
I'll make my debut in the basement.
93
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:26,005
I don't blame you for being bitter,
darling, but you mustn't give up hope.
94
00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:27,798
- Why, some day...
- Yeah, some day,
95
00:08:27,883 --> 00:08:29,633
if I don't get arthritis first.
96
00:08:29,718 --> 00:08:31,385
In the meantime, let's blow this trap.
97
00:08:31,469 --> 00:08:32,845
[piano lid thuds]
98
00:08:48,737 --> 00:08:49,737
[door closes]
99
00:08:51,323 --> 00:08:53,782
- Like to get something to eat, hon?
- Oh, I don't think so, Al.
100
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:56,911
I lose my appetite working in this fleabag.
101
00:08:56,995 --> 00:08:58,954
- Let's go home.
- Okay.
102
00:08:59,831 --> 00:09:02,416
I can't stand much more of that dump.
103
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:05,211
Did you see that drunk tonight
trying to paw me?
104
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:08,547
- No, what drunk?
- Does it matter what drunk?
105
00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:11,800
Say, what's the matter with you tonight, darling?
106
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:14,511
That's the third time you started
to tell me something and then stopped.
107
00:09:15,305 --> 00:09:17,806
We shouldn't have any secrets
from each other, Sue.
108
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:20,267
Next week, we're gonna make with a ring
and a license. We'll be a team.
109
00:09:20,352 --> 00:09:23,395
Yes, that's right. In the bush league.
110
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,190
- I don't get ya.
- We've been struck out.
111
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:29,276
That's a funny way to talk, darling.
112
00:09:29,361 --> 00:09:31,737
- Don't you wanna marry me?
- Al, look, I love you.
113
00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:34,198
You know I do.
And I want to marry you.
114
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:36,742
- But...?
- But not now.
115
00:09:36,826 --> 00:09:39,286
Only after we've made good.
116
00:09:39,371 --> 00:09:40,996
Sunday I'm going away.
117
00:09:41,706 --> 00:09:43,666
Oh, I know you'll think it's silly.
118
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:46,001
That's why I hesitated to tell you.
119
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:47,795
But I'm going to California.
120
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:50,297
I wanna try my luck in Hollywood.
121
00:09:50,548 --> 00:09:52,758
[Al] That's the most
stupid thing I ever heard of.
122
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:56,387
Don't you know millions of people go out there
every year and wind up polishing cuspidors?
123
00:09:56,471 --> 00:09:57,638
I thought you had better sense.
124
00:09:57,722 --> 00:09:59,598
You sound as if you think
I don't have any talent.
125
00:09:59,683 --> 00:10:02,101
- That has nothing to do with it.
- I'll make out all right.
126
00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:03,936
Maybe. But what about me?
127
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:06,563
Doesn't it mean anything to you
that you're busting up all our plans?
128
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:09,817
- We may not see each other for years?
- It won't be that long.
129
00:10:09,901 --> 00:10:12,111
- I thought you loved me.
- I do.
130
00:10:12,195 --> 00:10:13,737
You know I do.
131
00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:18,325
Well, here we are.
132
00:10:20,787 --> 00:10:21,787
Al...
133
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:25,541
Al, why can't you see my side of it?
134
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:28,294
I'm young. We both are. And...
135
00:10:28,378 --> 00:10:31,005
And we've got all the time in the world
to settle down.
136
00:10:31,715 --> 00:10:33,966
[sighs] Really, darling.
137
00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:37,303
What I'm doing is the only sane thing to do.
138
00:10:37,387 --> 00:10:40,889
[sighs] I... I hate the thought
of being so far away from you.
139
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:44,226
But... But we'll be together again some day.
140
00:10:44,311 --> 00:10:47,563
[sighs] Maybe you'll decide
to come out too, later on.
141
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:49,898
- So long.
- Al.
142
00:10:50,734 --> 00:10:53,068
Aren't you gonna kiss me good night?
143
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,237
Sure, why not?
144
00:10:57,741 --> 00:10:58,991
Good night.
145
00:11:05,248 --> 00:11:07,708
[playing romantic melody]
146
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:34,276
[playing jauntily, jazzy]
147
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:47,164
[changing rhythm, slower]
148
00:12:09,604 --> 00:12:12,231
[changing rhythm, jittery]
149
00:12:18,822 --> 00:12:21,824
[no audible dialogue]
150
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:40,717
[piano playing stops]
151
00:12:40,802 --> 00:12:42,469
- [applause]
- Say, Roberts.
152
00:12:42,554 --> 00:12:45,848
You hit the jackpot this time. Ten bucks.
153
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:47,391
Thanks.
154
00:12:53,481 --> 00:12:56,024
[Al narrating] So when this drunk handed me
a ten-spot after a request,
155
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:57,526
I couldn't get very excited.
156
00:12:57,777 --> 00:13:01,363
What was it, I asked myself?
A piece of paper crawling with germs.
157
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:03,866
Couldn't buy anything I wanted.
158
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:05,242
It couldn't...
159
00:13:08,246 --> 00:13:09,705
Then I thought of something.
160
00:13:33,104 --> 00:13:34,313
Long distance.
161
00:13:34,397 --> 00:13:36,857
I'd like to put a call through to Los Angeles.
162
00:13:36,941 --> 00:13:39,193
Miss Harvey. Sue Harvey.
163
00:13:39,277 --> 00:13:41,069
H-A-R-V-E-Y.
164
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:44,615
The number is CRestview 65723.
165
00:14:04,594 --> 00:14:06,386
- 4.50.
- [coin clatters]
166
00:14:06,471 --> 00:14:08,347
- 4.75.
- [coin clatters]
167
00:14:08,431 --> 00:14:09,431
5.00.
168
00:14:12,477 --> 00:14:15,020
Hello, Sue? This is Al.
169
00:14:15,104 --> 00:14:17,356
Oh, baby, it's great to hear from you too.
170
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,651
What's that? You do?
Oh, me too, darling.
171
00:14:20,735 --> 00:14:23,362
I thought I'd go batty without you.
I just had to...
172
00:14:23,446 --> 00:14:24,446
Huh?
173
00:14:25,406 --> 00:14:27,449
You're workin' as a hash slinger?
174
00:14:27,534 --> 00:14:28,867
Gee, honey, that's tough.
175
00:14:28,952 --> 00:14:32,371
Those guys out in Hollywood don't know
the real thing when it's right in front of them.
176
00:14:32,455 --> 00:14:34,164
You just stick it out, Sue, baby.
177
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:37,417
Keep goin' around to those casting offices.
I'm sure you'll click.
178
00:14:38,002 --> 00:14:40,629
Look, I'll tell you what.
You stay put out there. I'll come to you.
179
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:43,632
No, don't try to stop me. Just expect me.
180
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:46,760
Train? Who knows?
Train, plane, bus, magic carpet.
181
00:14:46,844 --> 00:14:50,430
I'll be there if I have to crawl.
If I have to travel by pogo stick.
182
00:14:50,515 --> 00:14:53,809
And then... let's get married right away.
183
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:59,439
That's the stuff. That's what
I've been wanting to hear you say.
184
00:15:00,525 --> 00:15:03,110
Well, good-bye for now.
185
00:15:04,362 --> 00:15:06,905
I'll be seeing you soon. [kisses]
186
00:15:07,282 --> 00:15:10,492
Yeah. [kisses] Bye.
187
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:18,500
[Al narrating] The only way I could
cross country was to thumb rides,
188
00:15:18,585 --> 00:15:21,587
for even after hocking everything,
I only had enough money to eat.
189
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:24,923
Money. You know what that is.
190
00:15:25,717 --> 00:15:27,551
It's the stuff you never have enough of.
191
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:29,720
Little green things
with George Washington's picture
192
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:33,432
that men slave for,
commit crimes for, die for.
193
00:15:34,183 --> 00:15:36,226
It's the stuff that has caused
more trouble in the world
194
00:15:36,311 --> 00:15:38,186
than anything else we ever invented,
195
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:41,273
simply because there's too little of it.
196
00:15:41,357 --> 00:15:43,442
At least I had too little of it.
197
00:15:43,526 --> 00:15:45,319
So it was me for the thumb.
198
00:16:01,753 --> 00:16:03,170
Ever done any hitchhiking?
199
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:05,881
It's not much fun, believe me.
200
00:16:06,549 --> 00:16:08,842
Oh, yeah,
I know all about how it's an education,
201
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:11,595
and how you get to meet a lot of people,
and all that.
202
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:15,849
But me, from now on
I'll take my education in college,
203
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:20,187
or in P.S. 62, or I'll send $1.98
in stamps for ten easy lessons.
204
00:16:29,447 --> 00:16:33,367
Thumbing rides may save you bus fare,
but it's dangerous.
205
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:37,954
You never know what's in store for you
when you hear the squeal of brakes.
206
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,001
If only I had known what I was getting into
that day in Arizona.
207
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:46,546
Here, throw that in the back seat.
208
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:51,301
Okay, let's go.
Make sure that door's closed.
209
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:53,553
- [door closes]
- [lock clacks]
210
00:17:05,483 --> 00:17:09,319
You know, Emily Post ought to write
a book of rules for guys thumbing rides.
211
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:13,031
Because as it is now you never know
what's right and what's wrong.
212
00:17:13,783 --> 00:17:17,285
We rode along for a little while,
neither one of us saying anything.
213
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:19,538
I was glad of that.
214
00:17:19,622 --> 00:17:22,457
I never know what to say
to strange people driving cars.
215
00:17:23,418 --> 00:17:26,545
And too, you can never tell
if a guy wants to talk.
216
00:17:26,629 --> 00:17:29,631
A lot of rides have been cut short
because of a big mouth.
217
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:34,845
So I kept my mouth shut
until he started opening up.
218
00:17:35,596 --> 00:17:38,473
Hand me that little box
in the compartment, will ya, pal?
219
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:42,936
Hold the wheel, will ya?
220
00:17:44,397 --> 00:17:45,397
[pills rattling]
221
00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:53,029
[glove box closes]
222
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:56,450
- How far are ya going?
- LA.
223
00:17:56,534 --> 00:17:58,577
Well, you're really traveling aren't ya?
224
00:17:58,661 --> 00:18:00,704
Yeah, but I don't expect to make it
for a couple years
225
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:02,372
at the rate I've been promoting rides.
226
00:18:02,457 --> 00:18:03,582
Not much luck, huh?
227
00:18:03,666 --> 00:18:05,459
Sure. All bad.
228
00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:07,753
Not many people stop for a guy these days.
229
00:18:07,837 --> 00:18:09,296
Afraid of a stickup maybe.
230
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:10,505
Ah, you can't blame 'em.
231
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:13,675
- Where ya comin' from?
- New York.
232
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,137
Well, New York. You're in luck this time.
233
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:19,139
I'm goin' all the way.
234
00:18:19,223 --> 00:18:20,807
Right through to Los Angeles.
235
00:18:22,018 --> 00:18:24,102
- You drive a car?
- Sure.
236
00:18:24,187 --> 00:18:26,897
- Whenever you're tired, let me know.
- I'll holler.
237
00:18:28,691 --> 00:18:30,776
I guess at least an hour passed
before I noticed
238
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:32,778
those deep scratches in his right hand.
239
00:18:33,237 --> 00:18:34,696
They were wicked.
240
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:37,532
Three puffy red lines
about a quarter of an inch apart.
241
00:18:38,576 --> 00:18:40,869
He must have seen me looking at them
because he said...
242
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:43,288
Beauties, aren't they?
243
00:18:44,081 --> 00:18:45,957
They're gonna be scars someday.
244
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:49,002
What an animal.
245
00:18:49,086 --> 00:18:51,880
Whatever it was, it must have been
pretty big and vicious to have done that.
246
00:18:52,381 --> 00:18:54,424
Right on both counts, New York.
247
00:18:54,509 --> 00:18:57,636
I was tussling with the most
dangerous animal in the world...
248
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,804
a woman.
249
00:18:59,388 --> 00:19:01,014
She must have been Tarzan's mate.
250
00:19:01,098 --> 00:19:02,766
Looks like you lost the bout.
251
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:04,559
Certainly wasn't a draw.
252
00:19:05,394 --> 00:19:08,313
You know, there ought to be a law
against dames with claws.
253
00:19:08,397 --> 00:19:09,314
Yeah.
254
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:11,483
I tossed her out of the car on her ear.
255
00:19:12,318 --> 00:19:16,655
Was I wrong? Give a lift to a tomato,
you expect her to be nice, don't ya?
256
00:19:16,739 --> 00:19:17,656
Yeah.
257
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:20,242
After all, what kind of dames thumb rides?
258
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:22,577
- Sunday school teachers?
- Yeah.
259
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:25,747
The little witch.
260
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:28,458
She must've thought she was riding
with some fall guy.
261
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:32,337
And me who's been booking horses
around racetracks since I was 20.
262
00:19:33,047 --> 00:19:34,923
[scoffs] I've known a million dames like her.
263
00:19:35,383 --> 00:19:37,217
- Two million.
- Yeah.
264
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:42,138
Stopped the car, opened the door...
265
00:19:42,223 --> 00:19:44,641
"Take it on the Arthur Duffy, sister,"
I told her.
266
00:19:44,725 --> 00:19:48,103
- That's the stuff.
- As I was down on her. [laughs]
267
00:19:48,479 --> 00:19:52,148
But if you wanna see a real scar, brother,
get a load of this.
268
00:19:53,442 --> 00:19:55,026
Wow.
269
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:57,904
- I got that one dueling.
- Dueling?
270
00:19:58,406 --> 00:19:59,865
Yeah. We were just kidding, of course.
271
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:02,450
My dad owned a couple of
Franco-Prussian sabers.
272
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:04,244
Kept 'em on the wall for decorations.
273
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:09,749
One day, another kid and I took 'em down
when the old man wasn't around. Had a duel.
274
00:20:09,834 --> 00:20:11,376
[chuckles]
275
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:13,587
He hit me in the arm, here.
276
00:20:13,671 --> 00:20:15,338
Pretty mean cut.
277
00:20:15,423 --> 00:20:16,965
Infection set in later.
278
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:18,842
Yeah, I can see that.
279
00:20:19,093 --> 00:20:21,428
- Oh, gimme that box again, will ya?
- Yeah.
280
00:20:24,765 --> 00:20:26,099
[pills rattling]
281
00:20:31,355 --> 00:20:32,397
[glove box closes]
282
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:35,525
Pain made me lose my head, I guess.
283
00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:37,694
I began slashing.
284
00:20:37,778 --> 00:20:40,488
Before I knew it,
I put the other kid's eye out.
285
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:43,950
- That was tough.
- Well, it was just an accident, of course.
286
00:20:44,035 --> 00:20:48,413
But you know how kids are. I got scared...
decided I was gonna run away from home.
287
00:20:48,915 --> 00:20:51,958
Old man almost clocked me
when I was packin' my duds.
288
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:56,296
If the bloody rag I had wrapped around my wrist
hadn't caught his attention,
289
00:20:56,380 --> 00:20:58,048
he'd have seen the bundle for sure.
290
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:01,551
But I beat it when he was phoning for a doctor.
291
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:06,598
That was 15, 16 years ago.
I haven't been home since.
292
00:21:10,561 --> 00:21:12,729
Pull in there for a bite of something, huh?
293
00:21:12,813 --> 00:21:14,481
[Al narrating] A bite of something.
294
00:21:14,565 --> 00:21:16,066
Brother, was I hungry.
295
00:21:16,150 --> 00:21:18,401
I hadn't had anything in my stomach for hours.
296
00:21:19,362 --> 00:21:21,404
Yet even with that gnawing
in the pit of my belly,
297
00:21:21,489 --> 00:21:24,324
I didn't want to be in too big a rush
to put on the feed bag.
298
00:21:25,076 --> 00:21:27,827
First, I had to make sure
this guy knew the score.
299
00:21:27,912 --> 00:21:31,247
If I got him down on me,
it was good-bye ticket to Hollywood.
300
00:21:32,083 --> 00:21:33,708
I'll wait out here for you, mister.
301
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:36,753
If it's the money, don't worry about
paying for it. This time it's on me.
302
00:21:36,837 --> 00:21:39,255
- Well, that's white of you, Mr...
- Haskell. Think nothing of it.
303
00:21:39,340 --> 00:21:42,717
You make your first million, maybe you can
do the same for me. Come on, New York.
304
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:44,594
I gotta make the West Coast by Wednesday.
305
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:47,263
There's a horse running at
Santa Anita named Paradisiacal.
306
00:21:47,348 --> 00:21:49,933
- Means dough to me if I'm running.
- We'll make it all right.
307
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:54,688
[Al narrating] He did most of the talking
during the half hour we were in the place.
308
00:21:54,772 --> 00:21:55,772
I ate.
309
00:21:56,857 --> 00:22:01,027
He rambled on about his old man, who he hadn't
heard from since he ran away as a kid,
310
00:22:01,112 --> 00:22:02,946
and how he happened to become a bookie,
311
00:22:03,030 --> 00:22:05,740
and then all about how he got rooked in Miami.
312
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:08,660
One race, 38 grand.
They cleaned out my book.
313
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:11,079
- How do you like that?
- That was tough luck.
314
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:13,164
Yeah, and I'm supposed to be the smart guy.
315
00:22:13,249 --> 00:22:16,543
You just wait. I'm going back to Florida
next season with all kinds of jack.
316
00:22:16,627 --> 00:22:18,586
And you watch those stinkers run for cover.
317
00:22:19,547 --> 00:22:21,965
- Want anything else?
- No, thanks, I've had plenty.
318
00:22:27,638 --> 00:22:29,556
- The check there, sister?
- Mm-hmm.
319
00:22:32,601 --> 00:22:34,519
Oh, just a minute. Your change, sir.
320
00:22:34,603 --> 00:22:37,272
- Keep it, sister.
- Oh, thank you, sir. Call again.
321
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,190
I'll be waitin' outside for you
when you finish work.
322
00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:40,400
[chuckles]
323
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:41,776
Sharp chick, huh?
324
00:22:49,952 --> 00:22:52,912
[Al narrating] I drove all that night
while Haskell slept like a log.
325
00:22:53,581 --> 00:22:56,416
After a while, I began to get sleepy myself.
326
00:22:57,835 --> 00:23:01,671
I was happy though.
Soon I'd be with Sue again.
327
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:03,214
The long trip was practically over,
328
00:23:03,299 --> 00:23:06,009
and there'd be no more hoofing it
down the concrete.
329
00:23:06,761 --> 00:23:08,928
I began to think of the future,
330
00:23:09,013 --> 00:23:12,098
which couldn't have been brighter
if I'd embroidered it with neon lights.
331
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,226
It was nice to think of Sue shooting to the top.
332
00:23:16,437 --> 00:23:20,356
[chuckles] It's amazing what a full belly
can do to your imagination.
333
00:23:20,566 --> 00:23:23,276
[romantic ballad]
334
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:28,156
# Your eyes are blue
Your kisses too #
335
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,577
# I never knew what they could do #
336
00:23:32,661 --> 00:23:39,667
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
337
00:23:41,045 --> 00:23:45,632
# You're telling everyone you know #
338
00:23:45,716 --> 00:23:50,095
# I'm on your mind each place you go #
339
00:23:50,179 --> 00:23:56,017
# I can't believe that you're in love #
340
00:23:56,352 --> 00:24:02,690
# With me #
341
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:12,951
Mr. Haskell.
342
00:24:14,703 --> 00:24:15,703
Mr. Haskell?
343
00:24:18,833 --> 00:24:20,875
Mr. Haskell, wake up! It's raining.
344
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,002
Don't you think we ought to stop
and put up the top?
345
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:33,263
Mr. Haskell, I'm gonna put up the top.
346
00:24:48,154 --> 00:24:50,029
[Al narrating] Until then,
I'd done things my way.
347
00:24:50,531 --> 00:24:52,699
But from then on, something else
stepped in and shunted me off
348
00:24:52,783 --> 00:24:55,535
to a different destination
than the one I had picked for myself.
349
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:58,329
For when I pulled open that door...
350
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:05,170
Mr. Haskell, what's the matter?
Are you hurt?
351
00:25:06,255 --> 00:25:07,547
Are you hurt, Mr. Haskell?
352
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:11,467
[Al narrating]
Start your sermon. I'll listen to it.
353
00:25:12,219 --> 00:25:15,013
But I know what you're gonna hand me
even before you open your mouths.
354
00:25:15,598 --> 00:25:18,016
You're gonna tell me you don't believe
my story of how Haskell died
355
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:21,352
and give me that "don't make me laugh"
expression on your smug faces.
356
00:25:24,815 --> 00:25:26,357
I saw at once he was dead.
357
00:25:26,692 --> 00:25:28,193
And I was in for it.
358
00:25:28,277 --> 00:25:30,111
Who would believe he fell out of the car?
359
00:25:30,196 --> 00:25:31,738
If Haskell came to, which,
of course, he couldn't,
360
00:25:31,822 --> 00:25:34,240
even he would swear
I conked him over the head for his dough.
361
00:25:34,325 --> 00:25:35,491
Yes, I was in for it.
362
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:39,829
Instinct told me to run,
but then I realized it was hopeless.
363
00:25:39,914 --> 00:25:41,998
There were lots of people back down the road
who could identify me.
364
00:25:42,082 --> 00:25:44,000
That gas station guy and the waitress.
365
00:25:44,084 --> 00:25:46,419
I would be in a worse spot then
trying to explain why I beat it.
366
00:25:47,504 --> 00:25:50,381
The next possibility was to sit tight
and tell the truth when the cops came.
367
00:25:50,466 --> 00:25:53,176
But that would be crazy.
They'd laugh at the truth.
368
00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:54,552
And I'd have my head in a noose.
369
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:59,807
So what else was there to do
but hide the body and get away in the car?
370
00:25:59,892 --> 00:26:02,101
I couldn't leave the car there
with him in the gully.
371
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:03,937
That would be like erecting a tombstone.
372
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:35,385
My idea was to cover him with brush,
not to rob him.
373
00:26:35,636 --> 00:26:38,304
But then I remembered that even if
I only drove the car for 100 miles or so,
374
00:26:38,389 --> 00:26:39,722
I would need money for gas.
375
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:44,060
Besides, it was stupid of me
to leave all that money on a dead man.
376
00:26:45,145 --> 00:26:47,188
Not only that,
I'd have to take his driver's license
377
00:26:47,273 --> 00:26:48,690
in case I was stopped for something.
378
00:26:50,901 --> 00:26:52,235
I didn't like to think about it,
379
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,821
but by that time I'd done
just what the police would say I did.
380
00:26:54,905 --> 00:26:57,740
Even if I didn't... My clothes.
381
00:26:58,367 --> 00:27:00,618
The owner of such an expensive car
would never be wearing them.
382
00:27:01,662 --> 00:27:03,246
Some cop might pull me in on suspicion.
383
00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,802
[motorcycle approaches]
384
00:27:28,939 --> 00:27:30,231
Hey, you. This your car?
385
00:27:30,941 --> 00:27:33,943
Don't you know better than to leave a car
with the wheels halfway in the middle of the road?
386
00:27:34,028 --> 00:27:35,403
That's the way accidents happen.
387
00:27:35,612 --> 00:27:38,614
I... I'm sorry, Officer.
I was just putting up my top.
388
00:27:38,699 --> 00:27:41,367
- I didn't think.
- Well, the next time, think.
389
00:27:41,452 --> 00:27:43,911
I'll let you go now,
but watch your step in the future.
390
00:27:43,996 --> 00:27:46,414
I know that it's a lonely stretch,
but cars come by here once in a while.
391
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:49,334
- We have plenty of crack-ups.
- Thanks, Officer.
392
00:28:13,067 --> 00:28:15,777
[Al narrating] I left nothing in the car
that'd give me away as Roberts.
393
00:28:15,861 --> 00:28:18,529
If they found a dead man in the gully now,
it could be me.
394
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:28,122
As I drove off, it was still raining.
395
00:28:29,083 --> 00:28:31,876
The drops streaked
down the windshield like tears.
396
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:36,381
I kept imagining I was being followed,
397
00:28:36,465 --> 00:28:38,341
that I could hear sirens
back in the distance.
398
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,471
Just how long it took to cover the 60-odd
miles to the California state line,
399
00:28:43,555 --> 00:28:44,555
I don't know.
400
00:28:45,057 --> 00:28:46,641
I lost all track of time.
401
00:28:47,351 --> 00:28:51,270
But the rain had stopped and the sun was up
when I pulled up to the inspection station.
402
00:28:55,859 --> 00:28:56,692
Hello.
403
00:28:57,653 --> 00:28:59,946
- Carrying any fruits or vegetables?
- No.
404
00:29:00,030 --> 00:29:02,198
- Any livestock or poultry?
- No.
405
00:29:02,282 --> 00:29:03,741
[footsteps approaching]
406
00:29:03,826 --> 00:29:06,202
I'd like to see your registration
and driver's license, please.
407
00:29:10,749 --> 00:29:13,251
- Anything in the baggage compartment?
- Just baggage.
408
00:29:15,212 --> 00:29:18,548
Charles Haskell Jr.
Age 30, brown eyes, dark hair.
409
00:29:18,841 --> 00:29:20,216
Identifying marks, none.
410
00:29:20,884 --> 00:29:23,094
- Are you Charles Haskell Jr.?
- Yes.
411
00:29:23,178 --> 00:29:25,263
Well, remember, if you're employed,
and you stay over 30 days,
412
00:29:25,347 --> 00:29:27,223
you take out California plates.
413
00:29:27,307 --> 00:29:29,517
All right, Officer, but I'll only be
in the state a short while.
414
00:29:31,186 --> 00:29:32,270
Right. You can go now.
415
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:42,113
[Al narrating] I couldn't drive any farther
without some sleep.
416
00:29:42,197 --> 00:29:45,783
Cops or no cops, I knew
I had to hit the hay and hit it hard.
417
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,203
I was dead tired.
418
00:30:20,027 --> 00:30:20,943
No.
419
00:30:21,820 --> 00:30:23,362
No, you can't, Mr. Haskell.
420
00:30:24,323 --> 00:30:25,156
No.
421
00:30:32,706 --> 00:30:35,374
Mr. Haskell, you can't die.
422
00:30:36,502 --> 00:30:39,128
They'll think... They'll think I did it.
423
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:42,173
No, Mr. Haskell.
424
00:30:42,591 --> 00:30:44,717
No, no...
425
00:30:48,722 --> 00:30:49,805
[knocks]
426
00:30:54,019 --> 00:30:55,603
[knocking continues]
427
00:30:59,358 --> 00:31:00,233
Who's there?
428
00:31:00,317 --> 00:31:02,610
It's the maid. Can I come in and clean?
429
00:31:03,820 --> 00:31:06,322
Later... in a half-hour.
430
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:07,490
All right, sir.
431
00:31:32,057 --> 00:31:33,599
[Al narrating] There was no time to lose.
432
00:31:33,684 --> 00:31:36,227
Every minute I had to be Charles Haskell
was dangerous.
433
00:31:36,311 --> 00:31:38,521
I'd have to be Charles Haskell
until I got to some city
434
00:31:38,605 --> 00:31:40,648
where I could leave the car
and be swallowed up.
435
00:31:46,238 --> 00:31:48,864
That meant driving the car
as far as San Bernardino,
436
00:31:48,949 --> 00:31:50,491
maybe even to Los Angeles.
437
00:31:50,576 --> 00:31:52,451
In a little town, I might be noticed.
438
00:31:52,536 --> 00:31:54,328
But in a city, I should be safe enough.
439
00:31:55,581 --> 00:31:58,666
Then, after I ditched the car,
I could go on to Sue.
440
00:31:59,585 --> 00:32:02,545
But those five minutes at the state line
made me realize
441
00:32:02,629 --> 00:32:05,631
it might be a good idea to find out
a little bit about Mr. Haskell.
442
00:32:06,633 --> 00:32:09,302
Then if anybody asked me questions,
I could give the right answers.
443
00:32:10,345 --> 00:32:13,806
The first thing I found out
was that I had $768.
444
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:17,768
This was a lot of jack, but believe me,
445
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:19,895
it was the kind of money
I'd rather not have.
446
00:32:27,446 --> 00:32:31,115
And then I found out from a letter
Haskell was carting around in his bag
447
00:32:31,199 --> 00:32:33,784
that he wasn't the openhanded,
easygoing big shot
448
00:32:33,869 --> 00:32:36,412
who went around buying dinners
for strange hitchhikers.
449
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:39,832
Before I got done reading it,
I saw him more as a chiseler.
450
00:32:41,209 --> 00:32:43,836
It was written
to his old man in California,
451
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,796
the one he hadn't seen in so many years.
452
00:32:46,590 --> 00:32:51,385
In it, Haskell posed as a salesman...
of hymnals, of all things.
453
00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:54,388
It was easy to see where Haskell expected
454
00:32:54,473 --> 00:32:56,849
to raise a new stake
for his book in Miami...
455
00:32:57,684 --> 00:32:59,143
by rooking his old man.
456
00:33:00,771 --> 00:33:03,689
That was about all I found out
from his effects.
457
00:33:03,774 --> 00:33:04,857
And it was enough.
458
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:09,737
I told myself maybe old man Haskell
was lucky his son kicked off.
459
00:33:10,864 --> 00:33:12,531
He would never know it,
460
00:33:12,616 --> 00:33:16,077
but it saved him from taking a flier
in sacred literature preferred.
461
00:33:22,793 --> 00:33:24,377
[birds chirping]
462
00:33:41,186 --> 00:33:43,979
Near the airport at Desert Center,
I pulled up for water.
463
00:33:45,607 --> 00:33:46,691
There was a woman.
464
00:33:51,321 --> 00:33:53,614
Hey, you. Come on if you want a ride.
465
00:34:07,587 --> 00:34:08,587
[car hood slams]
466
00:34:39,995 --> 00:34:41,662
How far you goin'?
467
00:34:41,747 --> 00:34:43,122
How far are you going?
468
00:34:43,749 --> 00:34:46,792
[Al narrating] That took me by surprise.
I turned my head to look her over.
469
00:34:47,836 --> 00:34:50,588
She was facing straight ahead,
so I couldn't see her eyes.
470
00:34:51,006 --> 00:34:53,758
But she was young, not more than 24.
471
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:56,844
Man, she looked as if
she'd just been thrown off
472
00:34:56,928 --> 00:34:59,305
the crummiest freight train in the world.
473
00:35:00,140 --> 00:35:02,641
Yet, in spite of this,
I got the impression of beauty.
474
00:35:03,727 --> 00:35:06,020
Not the beauty of a movie actress,
mind you,
475
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,689
or the beauty you dream about
when you're with your wife,
476
00:35:08,774 --> 00:35:10,065
but a natural beauty,
477
00:35:10,567 --> 00:35:13,194
a beauty that's almost homely
because it's so real.
478
00:35:15,363 --> 00:35:17,114
Then, suddenly, she turned to face me.
479
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:20,409
- How far did you say you were going?
- Los Angeles.
480
00:35:20,494 --> 00:35:21,410
LA?
481
00:35:22,287 --> 00:35:25,790
- LA's good enough for me, mister.
- That's what I was afraid of.
482
00:35:25,874 --> 00:35:29,084
- What'd you say?
- Oh, nothing. Just thinking out loud.
483
00:35:29,169 --> 00:35:31,128
People get in trouble for doing that.
484
00:35:32,005 --> 00:35:34,715
- What's your name?
- You can call me Vera, if you like.
485
00:35:35,509 --> 00:35:37,176
- You live in Los Angeles?
- No.
486
00:35:39,054 --> 00:35:41,555
- Where you coming from?
- Oh, back there.
487
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,098
- Needles?
- No.
488
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:47,102
Oh, sure. Phoenix.
You look just like a Phoenix girl.
489
00:35:47,687 --> 00:35:49,855
- Are the girls in Phoenix that bad?
- [chuckles]
490
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:51,774
[Al narrating]
The girl must have been pretty tired
491
00:35:51,858 --> 00:35:54,944
because she fell asleep not 20 minutes
after she stepped into the car.
492
00:35:55,737 --> 00:35:59,782
She lay sprawled out with her head resting
against the far door, like Haskell.
493
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:03,452
I didn't like that part of it much,
but I didn't wake her up.
494
00:36:04,955 --> 00:36:06,872
It wasn't that this girl still worried me.
495
00:36:07,374 --> 00:36:10,376
I'd gotten over that funny feeling
I had when she looked at me,
496
00:36:10,460 --> 00:36:13,003
which I put down
as just my jangled nerves.
497
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:16,590
With her eyes closed
and the tenseness gone out of her,
498
00:36:16,675 --> 00:36:18,133
she seemed harmless enough.
499
00:36:18,885 --> 00:36:21,929
Instead of disliking her,
I began to feel sorry for her.
500
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:25,182
The poor kid probably
had had a rough time of it.
501
00:36:26,476 --> 00:36:27,977
Who was she, anyway?
502
00:36:28,061 --> 00:36:30,479
And why was she going to Los Angeles?
503
00:36:30,564 --> 00:36:32,898
And where'd she come from
in the first place?
504
00:36:32,983 --> 00:36:34,775
The only thing I knew about her
was her name.
505
00:36:35,777 --> 00:36:37,361
Not that it made any difference.
506
00:36:37,445 --> 00:36:39,738
A few hours more and we'd be in Hollywood.
507
00:36:39,823 --> 00:36:42,241
I'd forget where I parked the car
and look up Sue.
508
00:36:43,118 --> 00:36:45,286
This nightmare of being a dead man
would be over.
509
00:36:46,121 --> 00:36:48,831
Who this dame was, well,
it was no business of mine.
510
00:36:48,915 --> 00:36:52,918
Where did you leave his body?
Where did you leave the owner of this car?
511
00:36:53,003 --> 00:36:54,712
You're not fooling anyone.
512
00:36:55,297 --> 00:36:58,173
This buggy belongs to a guy named Haskell.
That's not you, mister.
513
00:36:58,258 --> 00:37:01,343
You're out of your mind. That's my name.
Charles Haskell. I can prove it.
514
00:37:01,428 --> 00:37:03,512
- Here's my driver's license.
- Save yourself the trouble, mister.
515
00:37:03,597 --> 00:37:05,848
Having Haskell's wallet
only makes it worse.
516
00:37:05,932 --> 00:37:08,017
It just so happens
I rode with Charlie Haskell
517
00:37:08,101 --> 00:37:09,685
all the way from Louisiana.
518
00:37:09,769 --> 00:37:11,854
He picked me up outside of Shreveport.
519
00:37:11,938 --> 00:37:13,564
- You rode...
- You heard me.
520
00:37:14,149 --> 00:37:15,983
[Al narrating] Then it all came back to me.
521
00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:18,652
All the talk about dueling
and scars and scratches.
522
00:37:19,613 --> 00:37:21,363
There was no doubt about it.
523
00:37:21,448 --> 00:37:23,949
Vera must be the woman
Haskell had mentioned.
524
00:37:24,034 --> 00:37:25,784
She must have passed me while I slept.
525
00:37:25,869 --> 00:37:28,871
Well? Well, I'm waiting.
526
00:37:28,955 --> 00:37:30,331
My goose was cooked.
527
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:32,082
She had me.
528
00:37:32,876 --> 00:37:34,668
That Haskell guy wasn't dead yet.
529
00:37:35,253 --> 00:37:38,172
He wasn't stretched out stiff and cold
in any Arizona gully.
530
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:41,425
He was sitting right there in the car,
laughing like mad while he haunted me.
531
00:37:43,345 --> 00:37:44,303
Well?
532
00:37:44,387 --> 00:37:47,514
There was nothing I could say.
It was her move.
533
00:37:48,224 --> 00:37:50,142
Vera, whatever her name was.
534
00:37:50,226 --> 00:37:52,478
It was just my luck
picking her up on the road.
535
00:37:53,313 --> 00:37:56,148
It couldn't have been Helen
or Mary or Evelyn or Ruth.
536
00:37:57,025 --> 00:37:59,526
It had to be the very last person
I should ever have met.
537
00:38:00,820 --> 00:38:01,820
That's life.
538
00:38:02,697 --> 00:38:05,491
Whichever way you turn,
fate sticks out a foot to trip you.
539
00:38:11,081 --> 00:38:13,457
I told her everything,
but she didn't believe my story.
540
00:38:13,541 --> 00:38:15,167
I should've saved my breath.
541
00:38:15,251 --> 00:38:17,670
That's the greatest cock-and-bull story
I ever heard.
542
00:38:17,754 --> 00:38:19,380
So he fell out of his car.
543
00:38:19,464 --> 00:38:21,507
Say, who do you think
you're talking to, a hick?
544
00:38:21,591 --> 00:38:23,592
Listen, mister. I've been around.
545
00:38:23,677 --> 00:38:27,054
And I know a wrong guy when I see one.
What'd you do, kiss him with a wrench?
546
00:38:27,138 --> 00:38:29,264
Now wait a minute.
What I told you was true.
547
00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:30,891
You see, that's why I had to do it.
548
00:38:30,976 --> 00:38:33,352
You think I killed him.
Well, the cops would've thought so too.
549
00:38:33,436 --> 00:38:35,187
Yeah, well maybe they still think so.
550
00:38:36,106 --> 00:38:38,482
What makes you so sure
I'll shut up about this?
551
00:38:38,566 --> 00:38:41,318
Vera, I'm innocent.
Give me a break, will you?
552
00:38:42,696 --> 00:38:44,488
It won't do me any good
having you pinched.
553
00:38:44,572 --> 00:38:46,115
The cops are no friends of mine.
554
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:49,076
Now, if there was a reward...
But there isn't.
555
00:38:49,703 --> 00:38:51,912
- Thanks.
- Don't thank me yet.
556
00:38:51,997 --> 00:38:55,332
I'm not through with you by a long shot.
Let's see that roll.
557
00:39:02,090 --> 00:39:03,674
Is that all Haskell had?
558
00:39:03,758 --> 00:39:05,509
- Isn't it enough?
- No, I thought he had more.
559
00:39:05,593 --> 00:39:07,845
Not that I know of. You can search me
if you think I'm holding out on you.
560
00:39:07,929 --> 00:39:09,596
Well, maybe I will at that.
561
00:39:09,681 --> 00:39:11,807
He told me he was gonna bet $3,000
562
00:39:11,891 --> 00:39:14,560
on a horse named Paradisiacal
on Wednesday at Santa Anita.
563
00:39:14,644 --> 00:39:16,979
- He was stringing you along. He meant 300.
- Maybe.
564
00:39:17,063 --> 00:39:20,357
Sure. Three bucks, 300.
He was a piece of cheese, a big blowhard.
565
00:39:20,442 --> 00:39:23,277
Listen, mister. Don't try and tell me
anything about Charlie Haskell.
566
00:39:23,361 --> 00:39:25,279
Remember, I knew him better than you did.
567
00:39:25,363 --> 00:39:28,073
Okay, then you knew he was a four-flusher.
That explains the three-grand bet.
568
00:39:28,158 --> 00:39:30,576
I'm not so sure
he didn't have that three grand.
569
00:39:30,660 --> 00:39:34,121
Why should I believe you?
You got all the earmarks of a cheap crook.
570
00:39:34,205 --> 00:39:35,622
- Now, wait a minute.
- Shut up.
571
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:37,207
You're a cheap crook and you killed him.
572
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:39,418
For two cents,
I'd change my mind and turn you in.
573
00:39:39,502 --> 00:39:40,794
I don't like you!
574
00:39:40,879 --> 00:39:43,338
- All right, all right. Don't get sore.
- I'm not getting sore.
575
00:39:43,423 --> 00:39:45,507
But just remember who's boss around here.
576
00:39:45,592 --> 00:39:47,134
If you shut up
and don't give me any arguments,
577
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:48,677
you'll have nothing to worry about.
578
00:39:48,762 --> 00:39:50,512
But if you act wise, well, mister,
579
00:39:50,597 --> 00:39:53,182
you'll pop into jail so fast
it'll give you the bends.
580
00:39:53,266 --> 00:39:55,059
- I'm not arguing.
- Well, see that you don't.
581
00:39:55,143 --> 00:39:56,477
You know, as crooked as you look,
582
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:59,605
I'd hate to see a fella as young as you
wind up sniffing that perfume
583
00:39:59,689 --> 00:40:01,482
that Arizona hands out free to murderers.
584
00:40:01,566 --> 00:40:03,233
- I'm not a murderer.
- Of course you're not.
585
00:40:03,318 --> 00:40:04,693
Haskell knocked his own head off.
586
00:40:04,778 --> 00:40:06,278
He fell. That's how it happened,
just like I told you.
587
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:08,530
Sure, and then he made you a present
of his belongings.
588
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:10,324
- I explained why...
- Oh, skip it.
589
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:13,118
Doesn't make a difference one way
or another. I'm not a mourner.
590
00:40:13,203 --> 00:40:15,412
I liked Haskell even less than I like you.
591
00:40:15,955 --> 00:40:17,372
Yeah, I saw what you did to him.
592
00:40:17,457 --> 00:40:19,541
- What do you mean?
- Those scratches on his wrists.
593
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:20,959
Sure, I scratched him.
594
00:40:21,961 --> 00:40:23,128
I'll say you did.
595
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:26,673
So your idea was
to drive the car a little way,
596
00:40:26,758 --> 00:40:28,967
maybe into San Bernardino,
and then leave it.
597
00:40:29,052 --> 00:40:30,385
You weren't gonna sell it?
598
00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:33,597
Sell it? You think I'm crazy?
Somebody else's car?
599
00:40:33,681 --> 00:40:36,266
All I wanna do is leave it somewhere
and forget I ever saw it.
600
00:40:36,351 --> 00:40:39,269
Not only don't you have any scruples,
you don't have any brains.
601
00:40:39,354 --> 00:40:42,022
- I don't get you.
- Maybe it's a good thing you met me.
602
00:40:42,107 --> 00:40:44,983
You would of got yourself caught, sure.
Why, you dope.
603
00:40:45,068 --> 00:40:48,362
Don't you know a deserted automobile
always rates an investigation?
604
00:40:48,696 --> 00:40:49,863
Huh?
605
00:40:49,948 --> 00:40:52,783
Look. The cops find a car.
Then they get curious.
606
00:40:52,867 --> 00:40:54,493
They wonder where the owner is.
607
00:40:54,577 --> 00:40:57,996
So, all right, they don't trace Haskell.
They trace you.
608
00:40:58,206 --> 00:40:59,790
I never thought of that.
609
00:40:59,874 --> 00:41:02,626
The only safe way to get rid of the car
is to sell it to a dealer,
610
00:41:02,710 --> 00:41:04,253
get it registered under a new name.
611
00:41:04,754 --> 00:41:06,004
Say, stop at the next store.
612
00:41:06,089 --> 00:41:08,882
I wanna get a bottle and do some shopping
before we hit LA.
613
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:12,219
Okay. Soon as we find a place,
I'll drop you off and pick you up later.
614
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:14,429
Nothin' doin'. You're coming in too.
615
00:41:14,514 --> 00:41:17,349
From now on,
you and I are like the Siamese twins.
616
00:41:17,433 --> 00:41:19,434
Have it your way,
but I don't get the point.
617
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:21,687
The point is I don't want you to get lost.
618
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:23,397
I'm not gonna beat it,
if that's what you're afraid of.
619
00:41:23,481 --> 00:41:24,648
I'll say you're not.
620
00:41:24,732 --> 00:41:27,568
Well, I'm gonna see that you sell this car
so you don't get caught.
621
00:41:27,652 --> 00:41:31,446
Thanks. Of course, your interest
wouldn't be financial, would it?
622
00:41:31,531 --> 00:41:33,699
You wouldn't want
a small percentage of the profits?
623
00:41:34,284 --> 00:41:37,202
Well, now that you insist,
how can I refuse?
624
00:41:37,287 --> 00:41:38,912
A hundred percent'll do.
625
00:41:38,997 --> 00:41:40,873
Fine. I'm relieved.
626
00:41:40,957 --> 00:41:43,208
I thought for a moment
you were gonna take it all.
627
00:41:43,293 --> 00:41:44,710
I don't want to be a hog.
628
00:41:46,588 --> 00:41:48,672
[Al narrating] A few hours later,
we were in Hollywood.
629
00:41:49,090 --> 00:41:51,466
I was recognizing places
Sue had written about.
630
00:41:52,051 --> 00:41:55,012
It struck me that,
far from being at the end of the trip,
631
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:58,098
there was a greater distance between Sue
and me than when I started out.
632
00:41:59,434 --> 00:42:02,060
Vera wasn't kidding
with that Siamese twins crack.
633
00:42:02,687 --> 00:42:06,106
She rented a little apartment
as Mrs. Charles Haskell.
634
00:42:07,025 --> 00:42:10,110
When I objected to this, she explained
that it was on account of the car.
635
00:42:10,612 --> 00:42:12,154
A dealer might think something was funny
636
00:42:12,238 --> 00:42:14,531
if he called and found
we were using different names.
637
00:42:19,704 --> 00:42:21,538
- Home, sweet home.
- Yeah.
638
00:42:22,457 --> 00:42:23,498
Not bad, either.
639
00:42:31,466 --> 00:42:33,842
In case there's any doubt in your mind,
I'll take the bedroom.
640
00:42:34,302 --> 00:42:35,177
Yeah.
641
00:42:36,471 --> 00:42:37,846
Sure is stuffy in here.
642
00:42:45,980 --> 00:42:47,689
- Keep the window shut.
- Okay.
643
00:42:50,026 --> 00:42:53,487
The old crow downstairs said
there's a folding bed behind this door.
644
00:42:59,535 --> 00:43:00,702
You know how to work it?
645
00:43:04,457 --> 00:43:05,540
I invented it.
646
00:43:09,504 --> 00:43:11,630
- Some joint.
- One can't have everything.
647
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,387
I'm first in the bathtub.
648
00:43:19,180 --> 00:43:22,140
I don't know why,
but I figured you would be.
649
00:43:31,985 --> 00:43:35,570
Boy, oh, boy. [sighs]
It sure feels good to be clean again.
650
00:43:36,948 --> 00:43:38,407
I must be ten pounds lighter.
651
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:40,450
You must be.
652
00:43:40,535 --> 00:43:42,077
[saxophone playing]
653
00:43:42,161 --> 00:43:45,372
Well, hitchin' rides isn't exactly the way
you keep your schoolgirl complexion.
654
00:43:49,585 --> 00:43:51,712
I wish that guy with the sax
would give up.
655
00:43:53,089 --> 00:43:54,423
It gets on my nerves.
656
00:43:56,509 --> 00:43:57,509
Forget it.
657
00:44:00,138 --> 00:44:01,179
Have a drink.
658
00:44:02,390 --> 00:44:04,141
Aren't you afraid
I'm gonna take you up on it?
659
00:44:06,269 --> 00:44:08,562
If I didn't wanna give you a drink,
I wouldn't have offered it.
660
00:44:09,731 --> 00:44:12,983
Why be a sorehead, Roberts?
You got yourself into this thing.
661
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:15,902
You should be grateful
I'm not turning you in.
662
00:44:16,904 --> 00:44:19,114
Why, if I wasn't regular,
you'd be in the pen this minute
663
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:22,284
being photographed, fingerprinted,
and being pushed around by the cops.
664
00:44:23,077 --> 00:44:25,620
So cheer up. Get rid of that long puss.
665
00:44:27,874 --> 00:44:29,666
Or is your conscience bothering you?
666
00:44:34,672 --> 00:44:35,505
No.
667
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:37,382
It isn't.
668
00:44:37,467 --> 00:44:39,468
Swell. That's the spirit.
669
00:44:41,012 --> 00:44:43,180
He's dead,
and no moaning around will bring him back.
670
00:44:46,684 --> 00:44:50,312
Anyway, I never could understand this worrying
about something that's over and done with.
671
00:44:50,396 --> 00:44:52,439
Now look, Vera.
For the last time, I didn't kill him.
672
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:53,982
Haskell was a sick man.
673
00:44:54,067 --> 00:44:56,109
Maybe he was dead before he fell
out of the car. I don't know.
674
00:44:56,194 --> 00:44:58,403
Sure, sure. He died of old age.
675
00:44:59,364 --> 00:45:00,364
All right.
676
00:45:01,324 --> 00:45:02,824
So if it'll make you sociable...
677
00:45:04,577 --> 00:45:05,827
you didn't kill him.
678
00:45:16,464 --> 00:45:17,297
Thanks.
679
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:31,186
- We're outta liquor, Roberts.
- Yeah.
680
00:45:32,313 --> 00:45:35,440
Too bad.
I felt like getting tight tonight.
681
00:45:35,525 --> 00:45:37,567
Well, I think you succeeded.
682
00:45:37,652 --> 00:45:40,737
- Am I tight?
- As a prima donna's corset.
683
00:45:40,822 --> 00:45:42,197
- That's good.
- [glass clatters]
684
00:45:42,281 --> 00:45:44,074
I wanted to get tight.
685
00:45:44,158 --> 00:45:46,785
Why? What have you got to get tight about?
686
00:45:46,869 --> 00:45:49,246
Oh, I don't know. A few things.
687
00:45:50,123 --> 00:45:50,956
[Al] Huh.
688
00:45:52,583 --> 00:45:54,042
You should have my worries.
689
00:45:54,127 --> 00:45:56,670
If I had your troubles, I'd stay sober.
690
00:45:56,754 --> 00:45:58,380
And I've got the key to that door.
691
00:46:01,926 --> 00:46:04,678
Yeah. Maybe you're right.
692
00:46:04,762 --> 00:46:06,388
I'm always right.
693
00:46:07,723 --> 00:46:10,183
You know, I don't like your attitude,
Roberts.
694
00:46:10,268 --> 00:46:12,018
Well, there's a lot of things I don't like.
695
00:46:13,479 --> 00:46:14,813
Say...
696
00:46:17,191 --> 00:46:19,276
But life's like a ball game.
697
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,111
You got to take a swing
at whatever comes along
698
00:46:21,195 --> 00:46:23,613
before you wake up
and find it's the ninth inning.
699
00:46:24,532 --> 00:46:25,782
Bet you read that somewhere.
700
00:46:25,867 --> 00:46:29,703
That's the trouble with you, Roberts.
All you do is bellyache.
701
00:46:30,788 --> 00:46:35,500
You could have taken it easy and,
well, try and make the best of things.
702
00:46:35,585 --> 00:46:38,378
But maybe that's what's wrong
with the whole world.
703
00:46:38,463 --> 00:46:40,297
Get the professor.
704
00:46:40,381 --> 00:46:43,133
People knock themselves out
trying to buck fate.
705
00:46:43,217 --> 00:46:46,386
Now take you, for instance.
You're lucky to be alive.
706
00:46:46,471 --> 00:46:49,055
Why, suppose Haskell had pulled open
your door?
707
00:46:49,140 --> 00:46:51,850
You'd be playing a harp now.
Think of that.
708
00:46:53,603 --> 00:46:56,855
You think of it. I'm tired of thinking.
709
00:46:56,939 --> 00:46:59,816
There's plenty of people dying this minute
710
00:46:59,901 --> 00:47:02,402
that would give anything
to trade places with you.
711
00:47:04,363 --> 00:47:05,989
I know what I'm talking about.
712
00:47:07,033 --> 00:47:10,744
I'm not so sure.
At least they know they're done for.
713
00:47:10,828 --> 00:47:13,580
They don't just sweat blood
wondering if they are.
714
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:16,750
Your philosophy stinks, pal.
715
00:47:18,002 --> 00:47:21,796
We all know we're gonna kick off someday.
It's only a question of when.
716
00:47:23,591 --> 00:47:26,551
But what got us on this subject anyway?
717
00:47:26,636 --> 00:47:28,553
We'll be discussing politics next.
718
00:47:29,388 --> 00:47:30,472
Yeah.
719
00:47:32,058 --> 00:47:33,433
Where'd you hide the butts?
720
00:47:34,310 --> 00:47:35,936
On the table, sucker.
721
00:47:43,611 --> 00:47:47,113
[Al narrating] We bored each other with
conversation for a couple of hours longer.
722
00:47:47,198 --> 00:47:50,408
Every five minutes, one of us was wishing
we had another bottle or a radio
723
00:47:50,493 --> 00:47:52,118
or something to read.
724
00:47:53,538 --> 00:47:55,247
Then finally we ran out of chat.
725
00:47:56,207 --> 00:47:57,499
I know it's only eleven o'clock,
726
00:47:57,583 --> 00:48:00,085
but I want to get up early
and make the rounds to the used car lots.
727
00:48:00,169 --> 00:48:03,088
No hurry about that.
We got all the time in the world.
728
00:48:03,172 --> 00:48:05,257
Maybe you have, but if you think
I want to stay cooped up in this place
729
00:48:05,341 --> 00:48:06,925
any longer than I have to, you're batty.
730
00:48:07,009 --> 00:48:10,262
It's not a bad place. Pay plenty
for diggings like this in New York.
731
00:48:10,346 --> 00:48:12,347
I wouldn't like it if it was the Ritz.
732
00:48:12,431 --> 00:48:14,849
[coughs]
733
00:48:16,602 --> 00:48:18,144
Rotten liquor. [coughs]
734
00:48:18,229 --> 00:48:20,981
You got a mean cough.
Ought to do something about it.
735
00:48:21,065 --> 00:48:22,315
I'll be all right.
736
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,817
That's what Camille said.
737
00:48:24,527 --> 00:48:25,652
Who?
738
00:48:25,736 --> 00:48:27,195
Nobody you know.
739
00:48:30,908 --> 00:48:33,368
- Wasn't that the dame that died of consumption?
- Yeah.
740
00:48:34,704 --> 00:48:37,289
Wouldn't it be a break for you
if I did kick off.
741
00:48:37,373 --> 00:48:40,333
You'd be free
with all Haskell's dough and car.
742
00:48:40,418 --> 00:48:42,043
I don't want to see anybody die.
743
00:48:43,212 --> 00:48:44,921
Not even me?
744
00:48:45,006 --> 00:48:48,008
Especially not you. One person died on me.
745
00:48:48,092 --> 00:48:50,510
If you did, well, that's all I need.
746
00:48:52,388 --> 00:48:54,222
You don't like me, do you, Roberts?
747
00:48:55,933 --> 00:48:56,975
Like you?
748
00:48:58,352 --> 00:48:59,769
I love you.
749
00:49:01,022 --> 00:49:02,981
My favorite sport is being kept prisoner.
750
00:49:04,025 --> 00:49:07,485
After we sell the car, you can go to blazes
for all I care, but not until then.
751
00:49:14,910 --> 00:49:16,536
I'm going to bed.
752
00:49:24,962 --> 00:49:26,463
Good night, Roberts.
753
00:49:26,547 --> 00:49:29,549
Don't try and sneak away during the night.
All the doors are locked.
754
00:49:29,634 --> 00:49:33,136
Anyway, if I find you gone in the morning,
I'll notify the police.
755
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:35,889
- They'll pick you up.
- Don't worry. I know when I'm in a spot.
756
00:49:36,974 --> 00:49:40,935
Well, good night. I hope that portable
rack isn't too uncomfortable for you.
757
00:49:41,020 --> 00:49:43,146
Don't lose any sleep over it,
will you, Vera?
758
00:49:44,940 --> 00:49:47,025
[key scratching lock]
759
00:50:20,601 --> 00:50:21,935
[softly] CRestview...
760
00:50:23,813 --> 00:50:29,651
6... 5... 7,
761
00:50:29,735 --> 00:50:32,654
[whispers] 2... 3.
762
00:50:33,948 --> 00:50:35,073
Hello?
763
00:50:36,117 --> 00:50:37,117
Hello!
764
00:50:38,327 --> 00:50:39,411
Hello?
765
00:50:40,579 --> 00:50:41,746
Hello?
766
00:50:48,295 --> 00:50:51,881
No. Not yet, darling.
767
00:50:53,134 --> 00:50:54,509
Tomorrow.
768
00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:56,928
Maybe.
769
00:51:00,391 --> 00:51:01,891
[Al narrating] if this were fiction,
770
00:51:01,976 --> 00:51:05,562
I would fall in love with her, marry her,
and make a respectable woman of her,
771
00:51:05,646 --> 00:51:09,816
or else she'd make some supreme,
class-A sacrifice for me and die.
772
00:51:11,152 --> 00:51:13,361
Sue and I would ball a little
over her grave
773
00:51:13,446 --> 00:51:16,448
and make some crack about
"there's good in all of us."
774
00:51:16,532 --> 00:51:20,160
But Vera, unfortunately,
was just as rotten in the morning
775
00:51:20,244 --> 00:51:21,870
as she'd been the night before.
776
00:51:21,954 --> 00:51:23,455
[knocking]
777
00:51:23,539 --> 00:51:25,415
All right, all right, I'm coming.
778
00:51:25,499 --> 00:51:27,459
[Al] Look, Vera, it's almost noon.
779
00:51:29,003 --> 00:51:31,254
So what?
The dealers will be there all day.
780
00:51:31,338 --> 00:51:34,007
They'll be there all year too, but it
doesn't mean I'm gonna wait that long.
781
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:36,551
Shut up.
You're making noises like a husband.
782
00:51:39,180 --> 00:51:42,932
- Well, do I rate a whistle?
- You sure do, but let's go.
783
00:51:43,017 --> 00:51:46,519
Let's go, let's go. I spend 85 bucks
and two hours preparing bait,
784
00:51:46,604 --> 00:51:48,188
and all you can say is "Let's go."
785
00:51:48,272 --> 00:51:51,274
[sighs] Come on.
786
00:51:56,071 --> 00:51:58,698
We passed a few used car lots
last night down this way.
787
00:51:58,783 --> 00:52:00,784
What do you think
we can get for this heap?
788
00:52:00,868 --> 00:52:04,496
I don't know. Plenty.
You just let me handle everything.
789
00:52:04,580 --> 00:52:06,206
You think we can get $2,000?
790
00:52:06,290 --> 00:52:07,707
I don't know. But don't worry.
791
00:52:07,792 --> 00:52:10,126
I'll squeeze as much
out of this guy as I can.
792
00:52:10,211 --> 00:52:13,296
If I let it go cheap without a fight,
he might think we've stolen the car.
793
00:52:13,380 --> 00:52:17,675
And listen, don't make any slips
and call me Roberts. That'll cook us.
794
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,636
I don't need you to tell me that.
795
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:21,930
You better just sit by
and keep your mouth closed.
796
00:52:22,014 --> 00:52:24,015
Remember, we're both in the soup
if anything happens.
797
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:25,642
Forget it and drive.
798
00:52:25,726 --> 00:52:28,144
You're my wife... Vera Haskell.
799
00:52:28,229 --> 00:52:32,315
Look, after the deal's closed, let's go
back to that place on Hollywood Boulevard
800
00:52:32,399 --> 00:52:33,942
where I saw the fur jacket.
801
00:52:34,026 --> 00:52:35,235
I want to buy it.
802
00:52:35,319 --> 00:52:37,987
After the deal's closed,
I'm saying good-bye to you.
803
00:52:38,072 --> 00:52:41,491
That's right. I forgot.
I guess I'm getting kind of used to you.
804
00:52:42,743 --> 00:52:45,036
Well, that's a habit
you can start breaking.
805
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,455
Let's try this place
in the middle of the block.
806
00:52:53,671 --> 00:52:55,129
Good afternoon. What can I do for you?
807
00:52:55,214 --> 00:52:58,508
- We're interested in selling a car.
- If the price is right.
808
00:53:01,387 --> 00:53:05,473
Well, if it's in good mechanical condition,
it should blue book for about 1,600.
809
00:53:06,475 --> 00:53:07,892
Tony, take a look at this motor.
810
00:53:07,977 --> 00:53:10,228
1,600. Are you kidding?
811
00:53:14,108 --> 00:53:15,900
[car hood opening]
812
00:53:21,448 --> 00:53:23,283
Well, maybe 1,850.
813
00:53:23,367 --> 00:53:26,744
Before I let it go for 1,850, I'll wreck it
and collect the insurance first.
814
00:53:26,829 --> 00:53:27,912
[coughs]
815
00:53:31,375 --> 00:53:33,376
Lady, this motor's seen a lot of driving.
816
00:53:39,925 --> 00:53:43,219
[Al narrating] While the mechanic
inspected the car, we haggled.
817
00:53:43,721 --> 00:53:46,973
At last, when we were all worn out,
we hit a compromise...
818
00:53:47,057 --> 00:53:48,600
his price.
819
00:53:51,896 --> 00:53:53,104
Okay, it's a deal.
820
00:53:53,188 --> 00:53:56,524
- Come in, we'll sign the papers.
- I have the ownership papers here with me.
821
00:53:56,609 --> 00:53:59,319
Look, Vera, in the meantime,
will you clean out the dash compartment?
822
00:53:59,403 --> 00:54:02,196
- There may be some stuff in it.
- All right, darling.
823
00:54:04,325 --> 00:54:06,534
1,850 bucks.
824
00:54:06,619 --> 00:54:08,244
That dirty cr...
825
00:54:15,544 --> 00:54:17,420
- Mm, New York, huh?
- Yeah.
826
00:54:17,504 --> 00:54:20,757
- But you bought the car in Miami?
- Yeah.
827
00:54:20,841 --> 00:54:22,467
Well, now, let's see about the insurance.
828
00:54:22,551 --> 00:54:24,552
We can either have it transferred
or canceled.
829
00:54:24,637 --> 00:54:27,263
Uh, what kind of insurance do you have,
Mr. Haskell?
830
00:54:28,432 --> 00:54:31,559
Well, uh, aren't all the papers there?
831
00:54:33,729 --> 00:54:37,857
I don't see any. Surely you know what type
of insurance you carry on the car.
832
00:54:37,942 --> 00:54:39,442
The name of the company?
833
00:54:40,277 --> 00:54:41,486
Yeah, but, uh...
834
00:54:41,570 --> 00:54:43,321
Well, if you'll just tell me
the name of the company,
835
00:54:43,405 --> 00:54:45,114
I'd be very glad to take care
of all the details.
836
00:54:45,199 --> 00:54:46,324
Well...
837
00:54:46,408 --> 00:54:48,409
- Did you sign the papers yet?
- Not yet.
838
00:54:48,494 --> 00:54:50,536
Well, don't. We're not selling the car.
839
00:54:50,621 --> 00:54:52,538
- Well, wait a minute, Mrs. Haskell...
- Come on, darling.
840
00:54:52,623 --> 00:54:55,917
- What's the matter? Change your mind?
- Yes. I'm sorry. I guess I have.
841
00:54:56,001 --> 00:54:57,377
- But, Vera...
- Let's go.
842
00:55:03,384 --> 00:55:06,636
You got me out of a tight spot, Vera,
but I still don't understand all this.
843
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:09,722
You will in a minute.
I almost threw away a gold mine.
844
00:55:09,807 --> 00:55:13,726
1,850 isn't to be sneezed at. The car
doesn't book for as much as I thought.
845
00:55:13,811 --> 00:55:15,478
We're not selling the car.
846
00:55:15,562 --> 00:55:17,438
You want to keep it?
Now wait a minute, Vera.
847
00:55:17,523 --> 00:55:20,608
You said yourself I wouldn't be safe
until the car was in someone else's name.
848
00:55:20,693 --> 00:55:22,360
I'd like to be free of this mess
when I go.
849
00:55:22,444 --> 00:55:24,612
That's just it, Roberts. You're not going.
850
00:55:25,531 --> 00:55:27,365
- [sighs]
- There's a drive-in at the next corner.
851
00:55:27,449 --> 00:55:30,201
Pull in there and we'll get a bite to eat
and I'll explain.
852
00:55:30,285 --> 00:55:32,453
What is this,
another one of your brilliant ideas?
853
00:55:38,794 --> 00:55:41,671
- Hello. May I take your order?
- Make mine a ham sandwich and coffee.
854
00:55:41,755 --> 00:55:44,340
- And for you, sir?
- Oh, I don't care. The same.
855
00:55:46,510 --> 00:55:47,719
Thank you.
856
00:55:52,224 --> 00:55:55,226
Get this, Vera,
I've been pretty patient so far.
857
00:55:55,310 --> 00:55:57,311
I've done everything you asked me to do,
but no more.
858
00:55:57,396 --> 00:55:59,564
- Shut up.
- You've taken Haskell's money.
859
00:55:59,648 --> 00:56:01,524
And you can have the dough we get
from selling the car,
860
00:56:01,608 --> 00:56:03,192
but you're not gonna keep me a prisoner.
861
00:56:03,277 --> 00:56:05,069
It's a good thing I bought the paper.
Look at that.
862
00:56:05,154 --> 00:56:07,030
- Vera, I'm in no mood...
- Read that.
863
00:56:17,708 --> 00:56:19,292
- No.
- Yes.
864
00:56:19,376 --> 00:56:20,960
- No, I won't do it.
- Yes, you will.
865
00:56:21,045 --> 00:56:23,254
You think I'm crazy.
It's impossible, I tell ya.
866
00:56:24,131 --> 00:56:25,173
Excuse me.
867
00:56:30,637 --> 00:56:32,138
Blow the horn when you're through.
868
00:56:35,350 --> 00:56:38,561
No one could possibly get away with an act
like that. Be wise to me in a minute.
869
00:56:38,645 --> 00:56:39,812
Don't be yellow.
870
00:56:39,897 --> 00:56:42,690
You look enough like him.
The same coloring and the same build.
871
00:56:42,775 --> 00:56:44,358
See how his clothes fit ya?
872
00:56:44,443 --> 00:56:46,235
No kidding. You almost
had me fooled for a while.
873
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:47,528
Oh, grow up, Vera.
874
00:56:47,613 --> 00:56:50,406
Don't you think a father knows his own
son? There must be other relatives.
875
00:56:50,491 --> 00:56:53,326
The father won't have to know ya.
We'll wait till he gives up the ghost.
876
00:56:53,410 --> 00:56:55,411
He's an old geezer
and he won't pull through.
877
00:56:55,496 --> 00:56:59,373
And as far as the relatives are concerned,
they haven't seen you in 15 or 20 years.
878
00:57:00,876 --> 00:57:02,585
- Eat.
- I'm not hungry.
879
00:57:03,253 --> 00:57:06,130
- And I won't do it.
- It's not as tough as it sounds.
880
00:57:06,215 --> 00:57:08,049
Remember, you've got
all kinds of identification...
881
00:57:08,133 --> 00:57:09,133
his car, letters, license...
882
00:57:09,218 --> 00:57:11,761
I could never get away with it.
It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
883
00:57:11,845 --> 00:57:13,888
The old boy has scads of dough.
884
00:57:13,972 --> 00:57:17,141
Look in the paper there. Personal fortune
assessed at over 15 million.
885
00:57:17,226 --> 00:57:18,684
He'll leave plenty, I tell ya.
886
00:57:18,769 --> 00:57:20,937
Maybe he cut off his son.
How do we know?
887
00:57:21,021 --> 00:57:23,606
It's out, Vera.
I won't have anything to do with it.
888
00:57:24,817 --> 00:57:27,068
I think you will.
889
00:57:27,152 --> 00:57:30,696
Look, Vera, I'll do anything
within reason, but not that.
890
00:57:30,781 --> 00:57:32,698
So forget it or find yourself another stooge.
891
00:57:32,783 --> 00:57:34,033
You sap!
892
00:57:34,785 --> 00:57:36,911
You'll be fixed for the rest of your life
as Charlie Haskell.
893
00:57:36,995 --> 00:57:40,081
You can take your inheritance and go away.
No more worrying about the rent.
894
00:57:40,165 --> 00:57:42,291
No sweating, scheming, wondering
where your next meal's coming from!
895
00:57:42,376 --> 00:57:43,417
Think about that, Roberts!
896
00:57:43,502 --> 00:57:46,295
Vera, please. You're talking too loud.
897
00:57:46,713 --> 00:57:49,298
On this I'm splitting 50-50 with you.
Sure, why not?
898
00:57:49,383 --> 00:57:51,050
We're both alike.
Both born in the same gutter.
899
00:57:51,135 --> 00:57:52,301
Now take it easy, Vera.
900
00:57:52,386 --> 00:57:54,637
There's people around here.
You don't know what you're talking...
901
00:57:55,806 --> 00:57:59,684
We'll wait till we read that old man
Haskell's dead. Then you show up.
902
00:57:59,768 --> 00:58:02,061
Like you read in New York
that he was sick.
903
00:58:02,146 --> 00:58:04,772
No! Suppose he doesn't die?
904
00:58:04,857 --> 00:58:06,941
He will. I know he will.
Something tells me.
905
00:58:09,611 --> 00:58:12,405
[Al narrating] But as much as I insisted
I would have no part of her scheme,
906
00:58:12,489 --> 00:58:14,448
Vera was taking it for granted I would.
907
00:58:16,535 --> 00:58:19,954
Neither of us had our mind on the cards
as we played that night.
908
00:58:20,038 --> 00:58:23,207
I knew we were just trying to kill time
between newspaper editions.
909
00:58:24,042 --> 00:58:26,002
This was a deathwatch for Vera.
910
00:58:27,129 --> 00:58:28,713
Maybe it was for me too.
911
00:58:28,797 --> 00:58:32,383
Don't you realize if I'm caught they'll want
to know where I got the car and stuff?
912
00:58:32,467 --> 00:58:35,595
- Then they'll have me on a murder charge.
- If you're smart, you won't get caught.
913
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:37,054
I knock with seven.
914
00:58:37,139 --> 00:58:39,348
And if I'm caught,
don't you realize you'll be out too?
915
00:58:39,808 --> 00:58:42,935
Eighteen points. That gives me 30.
916
00:58:44,188 --> 00:58:45,438
How will I be out?
917
00:58:45,522 --> 00:58:47,982
You'll be out $1,850 we would have gotten
on the car.
918
00:58:48,066 --> 00:58:49,483
Really, Vera, you'd be an awful chump
919
00:58:49,568 --> 00:58:51,569
if you threw away all that dough
on a dizzy long shot.
920
00:58:51,653 --> 00:58:52,904
Let me sell the bus tomorrow.
921
00:58:52,988 --> 00:58:54,655
With the money it'll bring
and what you've already got,
922
00:58:54,740 --> 00:58:56,449
a clever kid like you
can run it up in no time.
923
00:58:56,533 --> 00:58:59,035
- Then we'd both be in the clear.
- I'll be in the clear anyway.
924
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:00,912
Maybe. Maybe.
925
00:59:00,996 --> 00:59:02,580
But if I got caught...
926
00:59:03,540 --> 00:59:06,083
- I'd get good and sore at you, you know.
- You mean you'd squeal?
927
00:59:06,168 --> 00:59:08,377
- Well, no, not squeal exactly...
- Never mind what you meant!
928
00:59:11,048 --> 00:59:14,425
Even if you did tell the cops
I was in on it with you,
929
00:59:14,509 --> 00:59:15,885
what could they do to me?
930
00:59:16,929 --> 00:59:19,347
They might give me the same medicine
they gave you.
931
00:59:19,431 --> 00:59:21,140
- Yeah.
- A rope.
932
00:59:23,644 --> 00:59:25,770
But I'm on my way anyhow.
933
00:59:27,731 --> 00:59:29,732
All they'll be doing will be rushing it.
934
00:59:30,359 --> 00:59:32,818
All right. But think of the 1,850 you'd lose.
935
00:59:32,903 --> 00:59:35,655
You'd kick yourself along the block
if you let that get away from you.
936
00:59:35,739 --> 00:59:38,658
I'll take the chance. Want another drink?
937
00:59:38,742 --> 00:59:41,744
You're being a goon. That's the way
people wind up behind the eight ball.
938
00:59:41,828 --> 00:59:44,330
Once they get a few dollars,
they become greedy and want more.
939
00:59:44,414 --> 00:59:45,706
My, my.
940
00:59:45,791 --> 00:59:46,791
- Caesar.
- Who?
941
00:59:46,875 --> 00:59:49,585
You know, that Roman general?
He got his for being greedy.
942
00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:52,838
He wasn't satisfied.
So the final windup was he took the count.
943
00:59:52,923 --> 00:59:55,299
A couple of days ago you didn't have a dime.
944
00:59:55,384 --> 00:59:58,219
Why, you were so broke
you couldn't pay cash for a postage stamp.
945
00:59:58,303 --> 01:00:01,347
Now you've got almost $700,
with 1,850 in the offing.
946
01:00:01,431 --> 01:00:03,099
Take my advice. Don't try for more.
947
01:00:03,183 --> 01:00:05,768
I'm tired of this game.
Let's have some blackjack.
948
01:00:05,852 --> 01:00:06,686
Play solitaire.
949
01:00:06,770 --> 01:00:09,313
- I will, if that's the way you feel about it.
- That's the way I feel about it.
950
01:00:09,398 --> 01:00:11,607
Getting sore and throwing things
won't help much, Roberts.
951
01:00:11,692 --> 01:00:15,111
I'm merely doing you a favor. I help you out of
a jam by keepin' my mouth shut.
952
01:00:15,195 --> 01:00:18,072
I show you how to make some soft money,
and what thanks do I get?
953
01:00:18,156 --> 01:00:19,156
- Thanks?
- Sure.
954
01:00:19,241 --> 01:00:21,659
Or would you rather I called the cops and told
them you killed a man and stole his money?
955
01:00:21,743 --> 01:00:22,827
- I didn't kill anybody.
- Yes, you did.
956
01:00:22,911 --> 01:00:25,705
- No, I didn't. You know I didn't.
- All right, then.
957
01:00:28,542 --> 01:00:30,251
Suppose I call the cops?
958
01:00:30,335 --> 01:00:32,920
If you're innocent,
what do you got to be scared of?
959
01:00:33,005 --> 01:00:36,590
Okay, call 'em, you mutt. Go ahead and call 'em.
See if I care.
960
01:00:36,675 --> 01:00:39,552
- At least they'll give me a square deal.
- You want me to call 'em?
961
01:00:39,636 --> 01:00:43,597
You heard me. But I'm warning ya.
If I'm pinched, I'll swear you were in on it.
962
01:00:43,682 --> 01:00:46,976
I'll say that you helped me.
If I'm frying, I'll get even with you.
963
01:00:47,060 --> 01:00:48,686
You wouldn't dare. You're chicken!
964
01:00:48,770 --> 01:00:52,815
Yeah? Then try it and see.
Call 'em. Yeah.
965
01:00:53,650 --> 01:00:55,067
Okay, I will.
966
01:00:57,112 --> 01:01:00,489
[dialing]
967
01:01:07,706 --> 01:01:09,915
Information.
968
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,835
I want the number
of the Hollywood police station.
969
01:01:14,713 --> 01:01:16,756
Okay, I got it. Thanks.
970
01:01:17,966 --> 01:01:19,592
[phone hook clicks]
971
01:01:19,676 --> 01:01:21,677
- [dialing]
- Wait a minute, Vera. You wouldn't do that.
972
01:01:21,762 --> 01:01:23,721
Oh, wouldn't I? Give me that
and I'll show you if I would!
973
01:01:23,805 --> 01:01:25,681
Take it easy now. Let's talk this over.
974
01:01:25,766 --> 01:01:27,558
[Al narrating]
This was early in the evening.
975
01:01:27,642 --> 01:01:32,146
And the conversation, while hectic,
was at least pitched low.
976
01:01:32,230 --> 01:01:36,776
But as the minutes passed and more obstacles
to her plan popped into my head,
977
01:01:36,860 --> 01:01:38,486
the air got blue.
978
01:01:38,570 --> 01:01:41,822
Each word coming from our lips
cracked like a whip.
979
01:01:41,907 --> 01:01:45,785
I reminded her that as Charles Haskell
I didn't even know my mother's name,
980
01:01:45,869 --> 01:01:47,578
where I'd gone to school,
981
01:01:47,662 --> 01:01:49,413
the name of my best friend,
982
01:01:49,498 --> 01:01:51,415
whether I had an Aunt Emma or not,
983
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:54,794
my religion, and if I'd ever owned a dog.
984
01:01:54,878 --> 01:01:57,463
I didn't even know
what my middle initial stood for.
985
01:01:57,547 --> 01:02:00,925
I also pointed out that the real Haskell
had a scar on his forearm.
986
01:02:01,510 --> 01:02:03,302
His people never saw that scar.
987
01:02:03,387 --> 01:02:05,596
He told me he ran away
right after putting out the kid's eye.
988
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,140
Yeah, but his father knew he was cut.
There'd have to be some kind of mark.
989
01:02:08,225 --> 01:02:10,434
So what?
990
01:02:10,519 --> 01:02:14,438
The old man's dead or will be.
I hope by tomorrow morning's papers.
991
01:02:14,523 --> 01:02:18,025
Anyway, you could cut yourself
a little, couldn't ya?
992
01:02:19,027 --> 01:02:22,321
Boy, for that kind of dough,
I'd let you cut my leg off.
993
01:02:22,406 --> 01:02:23,989
You're drunk and you're crazy mad, Vera.
994
01:02:24,074 --> 01:02:26,033
Turn me in if you want to,
but I won't get mixed up in this.
995
01:02:26,118 --> 01:02:28,160
Besides, how do we know?
Haskell was such a phony.
996
01:02:28,245 --> 01:02:30,371
Maybe he wasn't the man's son at all.
Maybe he just dreamed it up.
997
01:02:30,455 --> 01:02:35,918
Well, dreaming or not, you won't be dreaming
when the law taps you on the shoulder.
998
01:02:36,002 --> 01:02:39,588
There's a cute little gas chamber
waiting for you, Roberts.
999
01:02:39,673 --> 01:02:43,134
And I hear extradition to Arizona's a cinch.
1000
01:02:43,218 --> 01:02:45,052
Where's that phone?
1001
01:02:45,137 --> 01:02:46,512
- Vera.
- Leave me alone!
1002
01:02:46,596 --> 01:02:50,057
- Vera!
- I wanna phone, call the police.
1003
01:02:50,767 --> 01:02:54,812
I hate you, you stinker.
You leave me alone!
1004
01:02:54,896 --> 01:02:57,106
I'll let you alone when you promise to leave
the phone where it is.
1005
01:02:57,190 --> 01:02:59,150
- You're drunk. You don't know what you're doing.
- You're hurting me.
1006
01:02:59,234 --> 01:03:00,860
Will you promise?
1007
01:03:00,944 --> 01:03:02,528
All right.
1008
01:03:07,492 --> 01:03:10,327
- You hurt me.
- I'm sorry, but...
1009
01:03:10,412 --> 01:03:13,372
- And it's hot in here! Open up a window!
- It's not hot!
1010
01:03:13,457 --> 01:03:16,125
Don't tell me!
Now do you do it or do I do it?
1011
01:03:18,086 --> 01:03:19,837
You're no gentleman, see?
1012
01:03:19,921 --> 01:03:23,299
Yeah. All right, I'll open up the window.
1013
01:03:26,428 --> 01:03:27,511
Vera!
1014
01:03:31,892 --> 01:03:34,643
Vera, open the door.
Please open the door.
1015
01:03:34,728 --> 01:03:36,854
Vera, open the door.
Don't use the phone. Listen to me.
1016
01:03:37,522 --> 01:03:40,983
I don't like you, Roberts.
You're no gentleman, see?
1017
01:03:41,067 --> 01:03:45,154
You hurt my hand,
and I'm gonna get even with you.
1018
01:03:45,238 --> 01:03:48,407
If you don't open the door,
I'm gonna kick it down, Vera.
1019
01:03:48,492 --> 01:03:51,368
Vera, don't call the cops.
Listen to me, I'll do anything you say.
1020
01:03:52,287 --> 01:03:53,746
Vera, let me in!
1021
01:03:55,207 --> 01:03:56,665
I'll break the phone!
1022
01:04:14,267 --> 01:04:17,269
[grunting]
1023
01:04:22,609 --> 01:04:23,943
Vera.
1024
01:04:34,579 --> 01:04:36,539
[Al narrating] The world is full of skeptics.
1025
01:04:37,290 --> 01:04:39,667
I know. I'm one myself.
1026
01:04:40,669 --> 01:04:43,712
In the Haskell business, how many of you
would believe he fell out of the car?
1027
01:04:43,797 --> 01:04:46,173
And now, after killing Vera
without really meaning to do it,
1028
01:04:46,258 --> 01:04:48,676
how many of you would believe
it wasn't premeditated?
1029
01:04:49,719 --> 01:04:53,264
In a jury room, every last man of you
would go down shouting
1030
01:04:53,348 --> 01:04:56,058
that she had me over a barrel
and my only out was force.
1031
01:04:58,103 --> 01:04:59,728
The room was still.
1032
01:05:00,730 --> 01:05:03,691
So quiet that for a while I'd wondered
if I'd suddenly gone deaf.
1033
01:05:04,484 --> 01:05:06,235
It was pure fear, of course.
1034
01:05:06,319 --> 01:05:08,195
And I was hysterical,
1035
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:09,989
but without making a sound.
1036
01:05:11,324 --> 01:05:14,285
Vera was dead, and I was her murderer.
1037
01:05:15,370 --> 01:05:19,873
Murderer. What an awful word that is.
But I'd become one.
1038
01:05:19,958 --> 01:05:22,042
I'd better not get caught.
1039
01:05:22,127 --> 01:05:24,628
What evidence there was around the place
had to be destroyed.
1040
01:05:24,713 --> 01:05:26,505
And from the looks of things, there was plenty.
1041
01:05:26,590 --> 01:05:28,299
Looking around the room at things we'd bought
1042
01:05:28,383 --> 01:05:30,801
was like looking into the faces of
a hundred people who'd seen us together
1043
01:05:30,885 --> 01:05:32,803
and who remembered me.
1044
01:05:32,887 --> 01:05:35,306
This was the kind of testimony
I couldn't rub out.
1045
01:05:36,808 --> 01:05:38,058
No.
1046
01:05:38,143 --> 01:05:41,312
I could burn clothes and hide bottles
for the next five years.
1047
01:05:41,396 --> 01:05:42,855
There'd always be witnesses.
1048
01:05:42,939 --> 01:05:44,732
The landlady for one.
She could identify me.
1049
01:05:44,816 --> 01:05:46,233
The car dealer, the waitress in the drive-in,
1050
01:05:46,318 --> 01:05:48,819
the girl in the dress shop,
and that guy in the liquor store.
1051
01:05:48,903 --> 01:05:50,696
They could all identify me.
1052
01:05:52,032 --> 01:05:55,868
I was cooked. Done for.
I had to get out of there.
1053
01:05:57,203 --> 01:05:59,330
While once I remained beside a dead body
1054
01:05:59,414 --> 01:06:02,416
planning carefully how to avoid
being accused of killing him,
1055
01:06:02,500 --> 01:06:04,752
this time I couldn't.
1056
01:06:04,836 --> 01:06:06,503
This time I was guilty.
1057
01:06:07,422 --> 01:06:09,923
I knew it. Felt it.
1058
01:06:10,967 --> 01:06:13,218
I was like a guy suffering from shock.
1059
01:06:13,303 --> 01:06:14,970
Things were whirling around in my head.
1060
01:06:15,055 --> 01:06:17,890
I couldn't make myself think right.
1061
01:06:17,974 --> 01:06:21,435
All I could think of was the guy with
the saxophone and what he was playing.
1062
01:06:22,437 --> 01:06:24,021
It wasn't a love song anymore.
1063
01:06:24,814 --> 01:06:26,565
It was a dirge.

[jukebox: up-tempo band music]

[Al narrating]
But my problems weren't solved.
1066
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:19,493
I had to stay away from New York
for all time.
1067
01:07:20,328 --> 01:07:23,622
Because Al Roberts was listed as dead
and had to stay dead.
1068
01:07:24,332 --> 01:07:25,999
And I could never go back to Hollywood.
1069
01:07:26,835 --> 01:07:28,794
Someone might recognize me as Haskell.
1070
01:07:30,130 --> 01:07:33,048
- Then, too, there was Sue.
- [music stops]
1071
01:07:34,467 --> 01:07:37,803
I could never go to her with a thing
like this hanging over my head.
1072
01:07:39,180 --> 01:07:42,474
All I could do was pray she'd be happy.
1073
01:07:53,486 --> 01:07:57,656
I was in Bakersfield before I read
that Vera's body was discovered.
1074
01:07:57,741 --> 01:08:01,368
And that the police were looking for Haskell
in connection with his wife's murder.
1075
01:08:02,871 --> 01:08:04,413
Isn't that a laugh?
1076
01:08:05,081 --> 01:08:09,001
Haskell got me into this mess
and Haskell was getting me out of it.
1077
01:08:09,085 --> 01:08:11,170
The police were searching for a dead man.
1078
01:08:14,674 --> 01:08:16,884
I keep trying to forget what happened...
1079
01:08:18,261 --> 01:08:22,973
and wonder what my life might have been
if that car of Haskell's hadn't stopped.
1080
01:08:24,768 --> 01:08:26,935
But one thing I don't have to wonder about.
1081
01:08:28,146 --> 01:08:29,605
I know.
1082
01:08:31,107 --> 01:08:34,234
Someday a car will stop to pick me up
that I never thumbed.
1083
01:08:38,990 --> 01:08:39,865
Yes.
1084
01:08:40,742 --> 01:08:44,411
Fate... or some mysterious force
1085
01:08:44,496 --> 01:08:47,414
can put the finger on you or me
1086
01:08:47,499 --> 01:08:49,500
for no good reason at all.

Al Roberts, an unemployed piano player, hitches a ride, arriving at a roadside diner in Reno, Nevada. Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.
Al recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.
In Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.
Al realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.
Al crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.
In Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.
Back at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.
Al gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of "his wife." Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest.

- No.

Hey, you.

00:03:00,556 --> 00:03:03,266

- Yeah, you. Where ya heading?

- East.
- Too bad.

I might be able to help you out.

- Oh.
- So I gotta get my...

My partner,
he's got Lou to keep him company.
13
00:03:20,242 --> 00:03:21,909

Yeah, sure, I know,
but where? LA?

- Maybe.
- Got a cousin out in LA.

never letting up.

a piece of your memory or blot it out?

you'll get a whiff of perfume,

or maybe hum something.

You know the kind.

and a few drinks,
75
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:11,055
and run interference for your girl

76
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:15,101
- [playing romantic melody]
- I fronted the piano in there every night
77
00:07:15,185 --> 00:07:17,311
from 8:00 until the place closed up,
78
00:07:17,395 --> 00:07:19,563
which usually meant 4:00 in the morning.
79
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:22,066
A good job as jobs went in those days.
80
00:07:25,487 --> 00:07:28,739
Then, too, there was Sue,
81
00:07:28,824 --> 00:07:31,784
who made working there
a little like working in heaven.
82
00:07:32,244 --> 00:07:36,372
But how we felt about each other, well,
there was nothing very unusual in that.
83
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:39,834
I was an ordinary healthy guy,
and she was an ordinary healthy girl,
84
00:07:39,918 --> 00:07:43,170
and when you add those two together,
you get an ordinary healthy romance,
85
00:07:43,255 --> 00:07:44,672
which is the old story.
86
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:49,426
Sure. But somehow
the most wonderful thing in the world.

All in all, I was a pretty lucky guy.

Mr. Patterewsky, I presume?
It's beautiful.

You're going to make Carnegie Hall yet, Al.
91
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:20,332
Yeah. As a janitor.
92
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:22,251
I'll make my debut in the basement.
93
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:26,005
I don't blame you for being bitter,
darling, but you mustn't give up hope.
94
00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:27,798
- Why, some day...
- Yeah, some day,
95
00:08:27,883 --> 00:08:29,633
if I don't get arthritis first.
96
00:08:29,718 --> 00:08:31,385
In the meantime, let's blow this trap.

[door closes]
99
00:08:51,323 --> 00:08:53,782
- Like to get something to eat, hon?
- Oh, I don't think so, Al.
100
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:56,911
I lose my appetite working in this fleabag.
101
00:08:56,995 --> 00:08:58,954
- Let's go home.
- Okay.
102
00:08:59,831 --> 00:09:02,416
I can't stand much more of that dump.
103
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:05,211
Did you see that drunk tonight
trying to paw me?
104
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:08,547
- No, what drunk?
- Does it matter what drunk?
105
00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:11,800
Say, what's the matter with you tonight, darling?
106
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:14,511
That's the third time you started
to tell me something and then stopped.
107
00:09:15,305 --> 00:09:17,806
We shouldn't have any secrets
from each other, Sue.
108
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:20,267
Next week, we're gonna make with a ring
and a license. We'll be a team.
109
00:09:20,352 --> 00:09:23,395
Yes, that's right. In the bush league.
110
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,190
- I don't get ya.
- We've been struck out.
111
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:29,276
That's a funny way to talk, darling.
112
00:09:29,361 --> 00:09:31,737
- Don't you wanna marry me?
- Al, look, I love you.
113
00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:34,198
You know I do.
And I want to marry you.
114
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:36,742
- But...?
- But not now.
115
00:09:36,826 --> 00:09:39,286
Only after we've made good.
116
00:09:39,371 --> 00:09:40,996
Sunday I'm going away.
117
00:09:41,706 --> 00:09:43,666
Oh, I know you'll think it's silly.
118
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:46,001
That's why I hesitated to tell you.
119
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:47,795
But I'm going to California.
120
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:50,297
I wanna try my luck in Hollywood.
121
00:09:50,548 --> 00:09:52,758
[Al] That's the most
stupid thing I ever heard of.
122
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:56,387
Don't you know millions of people go out there
every year and wind up polishing cuspidors?
123
00:09:56,471 --> 00:09:57,638
I thought you had better sense.
124
00:09:57,722 --> 00:09:59,598
You sound as if you think
I don't have any talent.
125
00:09:59,683 --> 00:10:02,101
- That has nothing to do with it.
- I'll make out all right.
126
00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:03,936
Maybe. But what about me?
127
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:06,563
Doesn't it mean anything to you
that you're busting up all our plans?
128
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:09,817
- We may not see each other for years?
- It won't be that long.
129
00:10:09,901 --> 00:10:12,111
- I thought you loved me.
- I do.
130
00:10:12,195 --> 00:10:13,737
You know I do.
131
00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:18,325
Well, here we are.
132
00:10:20,787 --> 00:10:21,787
Al...
133
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:25,541
Al, why can't you see my side of it?
134
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:28,294
I'm young. We both are. And...
135
00:10:28,378 --> 00:10:31,005
And we've got all the time in the world
to settle down.
136
00:10:31,715 --> 00:10:33,966
[sighs] Really, darling.
137
00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:37,303
What I'm doing is the only sane thing to do.
138
00:10:37,387 --> 00:10:40,889
[sighs] I... I hate the thought
of being so far away from you.
139
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:44,226
But... But we'll be together again some day.
140
00:10:44,311 --> 00:10:47,563
[sighs] Maybe you'll decide
to come out too, later on.
141
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:49,898
- So long.
- Al.
142
00:10:50,734 --> 00:10:53,068
Aren't you gonna kiss me good night?
143
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,237
Sure, why not?
144
00:10:57,741 --> 00:10:58,991
Good night.
145
00:11:05,248 --> 00:11:07,708
[playing romantic melody]
146
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:34,276
[playing jauntily, jazzy]
147
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:47,164
[changing rhythm, slower]
148
00:12:09,604 --> 00:12:12,231
[changing rhythm, jittery]
149
00:12:18,822 --> 00:12:21,824
[no audible dialogue]
150
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:40,717
[piano playing stops]
151
00:12:40,802 --> 00:12:42,469
- [applause]
- Say, Roberts.
152
00:12:42,554 --> 00:12:45,848
You hit the jackpot this time. Ten bucks.
153
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:47,391
Thanks.
154
00:12:53,481 --> 00:12:56,024
[Al narrating] So when this drunk handed me
a ten-spot after a request,
155
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:57,526
I couldn't get very excited.
156
00:12:57,777 --> 00:13:01,363
What was it, I asked myself?
A piece of paper crawling with germs.
157
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:03,866
Couldn't buy anything I wanted.
158
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:05,242
It couldn't...
159
00:13:08,246 --> 00:13:09,705
Then I thought of something.
160
00:13:33,104 --> 00:13:34,313
Long distance.
161
00:13:34,397 --> 00:13:36,857
I'd like to put a call through to Los Angeles.
162
00:13:36,941 --> 00:13:39,193
Miss Harvey. Sue Harvey.
163
00:13:39,277 --> 00:13:41,069
H-A-R-V-E-Y.
164
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:44,615
The number is CRestview 65723.
165
00:14:04,594 --> 00:14:06,386
- 4.50.
- [coin clatters]
166
00:14:06,471 --> 00:14:08,347
- 4.75.
- [coin clatters]
167
00:14:08,431 --> 00:14:09,431
5.00.
168
00:14:12,477 --> 00:14:15,020
Hello, Sue? This is Al.
169
00:14:15,104 --> 00:14:17,356
Oh, baby, it's great to hear from you too.
170
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,651
What's that? You do?
Oh, me too, darling.
171
00:14:20,735 --> 00:14:23,362
I thought I'd go batty without you.
I just had to...
172
00:14:23,446 --> 00:14:24,446
Huh?
173
00:14:25,406 --> 00:14:27,449
You're workin' as a hash slinger?
174
00:14:27,534 --> 00:14:28,867
Gee, honey, that's tough.
175
00:14:28,952 --> 00:14:32,371
Those guys out in Hollywood don't know
the real thing when it's right in front of them.
176
00:14:32,455 --> 00:14:34,164
You just stick it out, Sue, baby.
177
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:37,417
Keep goin' around to those casting offices.
I'm sure you'll click.
178
00:14:38,002 --> 00:14:40,629
Look, I'll tell you what.
You stay put out there. I'll come to you.
179
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:43,632
No, don't try to stop me. Just expect me.
180
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:46,760
Train? Who knows?
Train, plane, bus, magic carpet.
181
00:14:46,844 --> 00:14:50,430
I'll be there if I have to crawl.
If I have to travel by pogo stick.
182
00:14:50,515 --> 00:14:53,809
And then... let's get married right away.
183
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:59,439
That's the stuff. That's what
I've been wanting to hear you say.
184
00:15:00,525 --> 00:15:03,110
Well, good-bye for now.
185
00:15:04,362 --> 00:15:06,905
I'll be seeing you soon. [kisses]
186
00:15:07,282 --> 00:15:10,492
Yeah. [kisses] Bye.
187
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:18,500
[Al narrating] The only way I could
cross country was to thumb rides,
188
00:15:18,585 --> 00:15:21,587
for even after hocking everything,
I only had enough money to eat.
189
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:24,923
Money. You know what that is.
190
00:15:25,717 --> 00:15:27,551
It's the stuff you never have enough of.
191
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:29,720
Little green things
with George Washington's picture
192
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:33,432
that men slave for,
commit crimes for, die for.
193
00:15:34,183 --> 00:15:36,226
It's the stuff that has caused
more trouble in the world
194
00:15:36,311 --> 00:15:38,186
than anything else we ever invented,
195
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:41,273
simply because there's too little of it.
196
00:15:41,357 --> 00:15:43,442
At least I had too little of it.
197
00:15:43,526 --> 00:15:45,319
So it was me for the thumb.
198
00:16:01,753 --> 00:16:03,170
Ever done any hitchhiking?
199
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:05,881
It's not much fun, believe me.
200
00:16:06,549 --> 00:16:08,842
Oh, yeah,
I know all about how it's an education,
201
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:11,595
and how you get to meet a lot of people,
and all that.
202
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:15,849
But me, from now on
I'll take my education in college,
203
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:20,187
or in P.S. 62, or I'll send $1.98
in stamps for ten easy lessons.
204
00:16:29,447 --> 00:16:33,367
Thumbing rides may save you bus fare,
but it's dangerous.
205
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:37,954
You never know what's in store for you
when you hear the squeal of brakes.
206
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,001
If only I had known what I was getting into
that day in Arizona.
207
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:46,546
Here, throw that in the back seat.
208
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:51,301
Okay, let's go.
Make sure that door's closed.
209
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:53,553
- [door closes]
- [lock clacks]
210
00:17:05,483 --> 00:17:09,319
You know, Emily Post ought to write
a book of rules for guys thumbing rides.
211
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:13,031
Because as it is now you never know
what's right and what's wrong.
212
00:17:13,783 --> 00:17:17,285
We rode along for a little while,
neither one of us saying anything.
213
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:19,538
I was glad of that.
214
00:17:19,622 --> 00:17:22,457
I never know what to say
to strange people driving cars.
215
00:17:23,418 --> 00:17:26,545
And too, you can never tell
if a guy wants to talk.
216
00:17:26,629 --> 00:17:29,631
A lot of rides have been cut short
because of a big mouth.
217
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:34,845
So I kept my mouth shut
until he started opening up.
218
00:17:35,596 --> 00:17:38,473
Hand me that little box
in the compartment, will ya, pal?
219
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:42,936
Hold the wheel, will ya?
220
00:17:44,397 --> 00:17:45,397
[pills rattling]
221
00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:53,029
[glove box closes]
222
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:56,450
- How far are ya going?
- LA.
223
00:17:56,534 --> 00:17:58,577
Well, you're really traveling aren't ya?
224
00:17:58,661 --> 00:18:00,704
Yeah, but I don't expect to make it
for a couple years
225
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:02,372
at the rate I've been promoting rides.
226
00:18:02,457 --> 00:18:03,582
Not much luck, huh?
227
00:18:03,666 --> 00:18:05,459
Sure. All bad.
228
00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:07,753
Not many people stop for a guy these days.
229
00:18:07,837 --> 00:18:09,296
Afraid of a stickup maybe.
230
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:10,505
Ah, you can't blame 'em.
231
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:13,675
- Where ya comin' from?
- New York.
232
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,137
Well, New York. You're in luck this time.
233
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:19,139
I'm goin' all the way.
234
00:18:19,223 --> 00:18:20,807
Right through to Los Angeles.
235
00:18:22,018 --> 00:18:24,102
- You drive a car?
- Sure.
236
00:18:24,187 --> 00:18:26,897
- Whenever you're tired, let me know.
- I'll holler.
237
00:18:28,691 --> 00:18:30,776
I guess at least an hour passed
before I noticed
238
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:32,778
those deep scratches in his right hand.
239
00:18:33,237 --> 00:18:34,696
They were wicked.
240
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:37,532
Three puffy red lines
about a quarter of an inch apart.
241
00:18:38,576 --> 00:18:40,869
He must have seen me looking at them
because he said...
242
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:43,288
Beauties, aren't they?
243
00:18:44,081 --> 00:18:45,957
They're gonna be scars someday.
244
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:49,002
What an animal.
245
00:18:49,086 --> 00:18:51,880
Whatever it was, it must have been
pretty big and vicious to have done that.
246
00:18:52,381 --> 00:18:54,424
Right on both counts, New York.
247
00:18:54,509 --> 00:18:57,636
I was tussling with the most
dangerous animal in the world...
248
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,804
a woman.
249
00:18:59,388 --> 00:19:01,014
She must have been Tarzan's mate.
250
00:19:01,098 --> 00:19:02,766
Looks like you lost the bout.
251
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:04,559
Certainly wasn't a draw.
252
00:19:05,394 --> 00:19:08,313
You know, there ought to be a law
against dames with claws.
253
00:19:08,397 --> 00:19:09,314
Yeah.
254
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:11,483
I tossed her out of the car on her ear.
255
00:19:12,318 --> 00:19:16,655
Was I wrong? Give a lift to a tomato,
you expect her to be nice, don't ya?
256
00:19:16,739 --> 00:19:17,656
Yeah.
257
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:20,242
After all, what kind of dames thumb rides?
258
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:22,577
- Sunday school teachers?
- Yeah.
259
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:25,747
The little witch.
260
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:28,458
She must've thought she was riding
with some fall guy.
261
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:32,337
And me who's been booking horses
around racetracks since I was 20.
262
00:19:33,047 --> 00:19:34,923
[scoffs] I've known a million dames like her.
263
00:19:35,383 --> 00:19:37,217
- Two million.
- Yeah.
264
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:42,138
Stopped the car, opened the door...
265
00:19:42,223 --> 00:19:44,641
"Take it on the Arthur Duffy, sister,"
I told her.
266
00:19:44,725 --> 00:19:48,103
- That's the stuff.
- As I was down on her. [laughs]
267
00:19:48,479 --> 00:19:52,148
But if you wanna see a real scar, brother,
get a load of this.
268
00:19:53,442 --> 00:19:55,026
Wow.
269
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:57,904
- I got that one dueling.
- Dueling?
270
00:19:58,406 --> 00:19:59,865
Yeah. We were just kidding, of course.
271
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:02,450
My dad owned a couple of
Franco-Prussian sabers.
272
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:04,244
Kept 'em on the wall for decorations.
273
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:09,749
One day, another kid and I took 'em down
when the old man wasn't around. Had a duel.
274
00:20:09,834 --> 00:20:11,376
[chuckles]
275
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:13,587
He hit me in the arm, here.
276
00:20:13,671 --> 00:20:15,338
Pretty mean cut.
277
00:20:15,423 --> 00:20:16,965
Infection set in later.
278
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:18,842
Yeah, I can see that.
279
00:20:19,093 --> 00:20:21,428
- Oh, gimme that box again, will ya?
- Yeah.
280

[pills rattling]
281
00:20:31,355 --> 00:20:32,397
[glove box closes]
282
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:35,525
Pain made me lose my head, I guess.
283
00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:37,694
I began slashing.
284
00:20:37,778 --> 00:20:40,488
Before I knew it,
I put the other kid's eye out.
285
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:43,950
- That was tough.
- Well, it was just an accident, of course.
286
00:20:44,035 --> 00:20:48,413
But you know how kids are. I got scared...
decided I was gonna run away from home.
287
00:20:48,915 --> 00:20:51,958
Old man almost clocked me
when I was packin' my duds.
288
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:56,296
If the bloody rag I had wrapped around my wrist
hadn't caught his attention,
289
00:20:56,380 --> 00:20:58,048
he'd have seen the bundle for sure.
290
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:01,551
But I beat it when he was phoning for a doctor.
291
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:06,598
That was 15, 16 years ago.
I haven't been home since.
292
00:21:10,561 --> 00:21:12,729
Pull in there for a bite of something, huh?
293
00:21:12,813 --> 00:21:14,481
[Al narrating] A bite of something.
294
00:21:14,565 --> 00:21:16,066
Brother, was I hungry.
295
00:21:16,150 --> 00:21:18,401
I hadn't had anything in my stomach for hours.
296
00:21:19,362 --> 00:21:21,404
Yet even with that gnawing
in the pit of my belly,
297
00:21:21,489 --> 00:21:24,324
I didn't want to be in too big a rush
to put on the feed bag.
298
00:21:25,076 --> 00:21:27,827
First, I had to make sure
this guy knew the score.
299
00:21:27,912 --> 00:21:31,247
If I got him down on me,
it was good-bye ticket to Hollywood.
300
00:21:32,083 --> 00:21:33,708
I'll wait out here for you, mister.
301
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:36,753
If it's the money, don't worry about
paying for it. This time it's on me.
302
00:21:36,837 --> 00:21:39,255
- Well, that's white of you, Mr...
- Haskell. Think nothing of it.
303
00:21:39,340 --> 00:21:42,717
You make your first million, maybe you can
do the same for me. Come on, New York.
304
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:44,594
I gotta make the West Coast by Wednesday.
305
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:47,263
There's a horse running at
Santa Anita named Paradisiacal.
306
00:21:47,348 --> 00:21:49,933
- Means dough to me if I'm running.
- We'll make it all right.
307
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:54,688
[Al narrating] He did most of the talking
during the half hour we were in the place.
308
00:21:54,772 --> 00:21:55,772
I ate.
309
00:21:56,857 --> 00:22:01,027
He rambled on about his old man, who he hadn't
heard from since he ran away as a kid,
310
00:22:01,112 --> 00:22:02,946
and how he happened to become a bookie,
311
00:22:03,030 --> 00:22:05,740
and then all about how he got rooked in Miami.
312
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:08,660
One race, 38 grand.
They cleaned out my book.
313
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:11,079
- How do you like that?
- That was tough luck.
314
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:13,164
Yeah, and I'm supposed to be the smart guy.
315
00:22:13,249 --> 00:22:16,543
You just wait. I'm going back to Florida
next season with all kinds of jack.
316
00:22:16,627 --> 00:22:18,586
And you watch those stinkers run for cover.
317
00:22:19,547 --> 00:22:21,965
- Want anything else?
- No, thanks, I've had plenty.
318
00:22:27,638 --> 00:22:29,556
- The check there, sister?
- Mm-hmm.
319
00:22:32,601 --> 00:22:34,519
Oh, just a minute. Your change, sir.
320
00:22:34,603 --> 00:22:37,272
- Keep it, sister.
- Oh, thank you, sir. Call again.
321
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,190
I'll be waitin' outside for you
when you finish work.
322
00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:40,400
[chuckles]
323
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:41,776
Sharp chick, huh?
324
00:22:49,952 --> 00:22:52,912
[Al narrating] I drove all that night
while Haskell slept like a log.
325
00:22:53,581 --> 00:22:56,416
After a while, I began to get sleepy myself.
326
00:22:57,835 --> 00:23:01,671
I was happy though.
Soon I'd be with Sue again.
327
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:03,214
The long trip was practically over,
328
00:23:03,299 --> 00:23:06,009
and there'd be no more hoofing it
down the concrete.
329
00:23:06,761 --> 00:23:08,928
I began to think of the future,
330
00:23:09,013 --> 00:23:12,098
which couldn't have been brighter
if I'd embroidered it with neon lights.
331
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,226
It was nice to think of Sue shooting to the top.
332
00:23:16,437 --> 00:23:20,356
[chuckles] It's amazing what a full belly
can do to your imagination.
333
00:23:20,566 --> 00:23:23,276
[romantic ballad]
334
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:28,156
# Your eyes are blue
Your kisses too #
335
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,577
# I never knew what they could do #

00:23:32,661 --> 00:23:39,667
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
337
00:23:41,045 --> 00:23:45,632
# You're telling everyone you know #
338
00:23:45,716 --> 00:23:50,095
# I'm on your mind each place you go #
339
00:23:50,179 --> 00:23:56,017
# I can't believe that you're in love #
340
00:23:56,352 --> 00:24:02,690
# With me #
341
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:12,951
Mr. Haskell.
342
00:24:14,703 --> 00:24:15,703
Mr. Haskell?
343
00:24:18,833 --> 00:24:20,875
Mr. Haskell, wake up! It's raining.
344
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,002
Don't you think we ought to stop
and put up the top?
345
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:33,263
Mr. Haskell, I'm gonna put up the top.
346
00:24:48,154 --> 00:24:50,029
[Al narrating] Until then,
I'd done things my way.
347
00:24:50,531 --> 00:24:52,699
But from then on, something else
stepped in and shunted me off
348
00:24:52,783 --> 00:24:55,535
to a different destination
than the one I had picked for myself.
349
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:58,329
For when I pulled open that door...
350
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:05,170
Mr. Haskell, what's the matter?
Are you hurt?
351
00:25:06,255 --> 00:25:07,547
Are you hurt, Mr. Haskell?
352
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:11,467
[Al narrating]
Start your sermon. I'll listen to it.
353
00:25:12,219 --> 00:25:15,013
But I know what you're gonna hand me
even before you open your mouths.
354
00:25:15,598 --> 00:25:18,016
You're gonna tell me you don't believe
my story of how Haskell died
355
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:21,352
and give me that "don't make me laugh"
expression on your smug faces.
356
00:25:24,815 --> 00:25:26,357
I saw at once he was dead.
357
00:25:26,692 --> 00:25:28,193
And I was in for it.
358
00:25:28,277 --> 00:25:30,111
Who would believe he fell out of the car?
359
00:25:30,196 --> 00:25:31,738
If Haskell came to, which,
of course, he couldn't,
360
00:25:31,822 --> 00:25:34,240
even he would swear
I conked him over the head for his dough.
361
00:25:34,325 --> 00:25:35,491
Yes, I was in for it.
362
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:39,829
Instinct told me to run,
but then I realized it was hopeless.
363
00:25:39,914 --> 00:25:41,998
There were lots of people back down the road
who could identify me.
364
00:25:42,082 --> 00:25:44,000
That gas station guy and the waitress.
365
00:25:44,084 --> 00:25:46,419
I would be in a worse spot then
trying to explain why I beat it.
366
00:25:47,504 --> 00:25:50,381
The next possibility was to sit tight
and tell the truth when the cops came.
367
00:25:50,466 --> 00:25:53,176
But that would be crazy.
They'd laugh at the truth.
368
00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:54,552
And I'd have my head in a noose.
369
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:59,807
So what else was there to do
but hide the body and get away in the car?
370
00:25:59,892 --> 00:26:02,101
I couldn't leave the car there
with him in the gully.
371
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:03,937
That would be like erecting a tombstone.
372
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:35,385
My idea was to cover him with brush,
not to rob him.
373
00:26:35,636 --> 00:26:38,304
But then I remembered that even if
I only drove the car for 100 miles or so,
374
00:26:38,389 --> 00:26:39,722
I would need money for gas.
375
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:44,060
Besides, it was stupid of me
to leave all that money on a dead man.
376
00:26:45,145 --> 00:26:47,188
Not only that,
I'd have to take his driver's license
377
00:26:47,273 --> 00:26:48,690
in case I was stopped for something.
378
00:26:50,901 --> 00:26:52,235
I didn't like to think about it,
379
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,821
but by that time I'd done
just what the police would say I did.
380
00:26:54,905 --> 00:26:57,740
Even if I didn't... My clothes.
381
00:26:58,367 --> 00:27:00,618
The owner of such an expensive car
would never be wearing them.
382
00:27:01,662 --> 00:27:03,246
Some cop might pull me in on suspicion.
383
00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,802
[motorcycle approaches]
384
00:27:28,939 --> 00:27:30,231
Hey, you. This your car?
385
00:27:30,941 --> 00:27:33,943
Don't you know better than to leave a car
with the wheels halfway in the middle of the road?
386
00:27:34,028 --> 00:27:35,403
That's the way accidents happen.
387
00:27:35,612 --> 00:27:38,614
I... I'm sorry, Officer.
I was just putting up my top.
388
00:27:38,699 --> 00:27:41,367
- I didn't think.
- Well, the next time, think.
389
00:27:41,452 --> 00:27:43,911
I'll let you go now,
but watch your step in the future.
390
00:27:43,996 --> 00:27:46,414
I know that it's a lonely stretch,
but cars come by here once in a while.
391
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:49,334
- We have plenty of crack-ups.
- Thanks, Officer.
392
00:28:13,067 --> 00:28:15,777
[Al narrating] I left nothing in the car
that'd give me away as Roberts.
393
00:28:15,861 --> 00:28:18,529
If they found a dead man in the gully now,
it could be me.
394
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:28,122
As I drove off, it was still raining.
395
00:28:29,083 --> 00:28:31,876
The drops streaked
down the windshield like tears.
396
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:36,381
I kept imagining I was being followed,
397
00:28:36,465 --> 00:28:38,341
that I could hear sirens
back in the distance.
398
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,471
Just how long it took to cover the 60-odd
miles to the California state line,
399
00:28:43,555 --> 00:28:44,555
I don't know.
400
00:28:45,057 --> 00:28:46,641
I lost all track of time.
401
00:28:47,351 --> 00:28:51,270
But the rain had stopped and the sun was up
when I pulled up to the inspection station.
402
00:28:55,859 --> 00:28:56,692
Hello.
403
00:28:57,653 --> 00:28:59,946
- Carrying any fruits or vegetables?
- No.
404
00:29:00,030 --> 00:29:02,198
- Any livestock or poultry?
- No.
405
00:29:02,282 --> 00:29:03,741
[footsteps approaching]
406
00:29:03,826 --> 00:29:06,202
I'd like to see your registration
and driver's license, please.
407
00:29:10,749 --> 00:29:13,251
- Anything in the baggage compartment?
- Just baggage.

Age 30, brown eyes, dark hair.
409
00:29:18,841 --> 00:29:20,216
Identifying marks, none.
410
00:29:20,884 --> 00:29:23,094
- Are you Charles Haskell Jr.?
- Yes.
411
00:29:23,178 --> 00:29:25,263
Well, remember, if you're employed,
and you stay over 30 days,
412
00:29:25,347 --> 00:29:27,223
you take out California plates.
413
00:29:27,307 --> 00:29:29,517
All right, Officer, but I'll only be
in the state a short while.
414
00:29:31,186 --> 00:29:32,270
Right. You can go now.
415
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:42,113
[Al narrating] I couldn't drive any farther
without some sleep.
416
00:29:42,197 --> 00:29:45,783
Cops or no cops, I knew
I had to hit the hay and hit it hard.
417
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,203
I was dead tired.
418
00:30:20,027 --> 00:30:20,943
No.
419
00:30:21,820 --> 00:30:23,362
No, you can't, Mr. Haskell.
420
00:30:24,323 --> 00:30:25,156
No.
421
00:30:32,706 --> 00:30:35,374
Mr. Haskell, you can't die.
422
00:30:36,502 --> 00:30:39,128
They'll think... They'll think I did it.
423
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:42,173
No, Mr. Haskell.
424
00:30:42,591 --> 00:30:44,717
No, no...

[knocking continues]
427
00:30:59,358 --> 00:31:00,233
Who's there?
428
00:31:00,317 --> 00:31:02,610
It's the maid. Can I come in and clean?
429
00:31:03,820 --> 00:31:06,322
Later... in a half-hour.
430
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:07,490
All right, sir.
431
00:31:32,057 --> 00:31:33,599
[Al narrating] There was no time to lose.
432
00:31:33,684 --> 00:31:36,227
Every minute I had to be Charles Haskell
was dangerous.
433
00:31:36,311 --> 00:31:38,521
I'd have to be Charles Haskell
until I got to some city
434
00:31:38,605 --> 00:31:40,648
where I could leave the car
and be swallowed up.
435
00:31:46,238 --> 00:31:48,864
That meant driving the car
as far as San Bernardino,
436
00:31:48,949 --> 00:31:50,491
maybe even to Los Angeles.
437
00:31:50,576 --> 00:31:52,451
In a little town, I might be noticed.
438
00:31:52,536 --> 00:31:54,328
But in a city, I should be safe enough.
439
00:31:55,581 --> 00:31:58,666
Then, after I ditched the car,
I could go on to Sue.
440
00:31:59,585 --> 00:32:02,545
But those five minutes at the state line
made me realize
441
00:32:02,629 --> 00:32:05,631
it might be a good idea to find out
a little bit about Mr. Haskell.
442
00:32:06,633 --> 00:32:09,302
Then if anybody asked me questions,
I could give the right answers.
443
00:32:10,345 --> 00:32:13,806
The first thing I found out
was that I had $768.
444
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:17,768
This was a lot of jack, but believe me,
445
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:19,895
it was the kind of money
I'd rather not have.
446
00:32:27,446 --> 00:32:31,115
And then I found out from a letter
Haskell was carting around in his bag
447
00:32:31,199 --> 00:32:33,784
that he wasn't the openhanded,
easygoing big shot
448
00:32:33,869 --> 00:32:36,412
who went around buying dinners
for strange hitchhikers.
449
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:39,832
Before I got done reading it,
I saw him more as a chiseler.
450
00:32:41,209 --> 00:32:43,836
It was written
to his old man in California,
451
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,796
the one he hadn't seen in so many years.
452
00:32:46,590 --> 00:32:51,385
In it, Haskell posed as a salesman...
of hymnals, of all things.
453
00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:54,388
It was easy to see where Haskell expected
454
00:32:54,473 --> 00:32:56,849
to raise a new stake
for his book in Miami...
455
00:32:57,684 --> 00:32:59,143
by rooking his old man.
456
00:33:00,771 --> 00:33:03,689
That was about all I found out
from his effects.
457
00:33:03,774 --> 00:33:04,857
And it was enough.
458
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:09,737
I told myself maybe old man Haskell
was lucky his son kicked off.
459
00:33:10,864 --> 00:33:12,531
He would never know it,
460
00:33:12,616 --> 00:33:16,077
but it saved him from taking a flier
in sacred literature preferred.
461
00:33:22,793 --> 00:33:24,377
[birds chirping]
462
00:33:41,186 --> 00:33:43,979
Near the airport at Desert Center,
I pulled up for water.
463
00:33:45,607 --> 00:33:46,691
There was a woman.
464
00:33:51,321 --> 00:33:53,614
Hey, you. Come on if you want a ride.
465
00:34:07,587 --> 00:34:08,587
[car hood slams]
466
00:34:39,995 --> 00:34:41,662
How far you goin'?
467
00:34:41,747 --> 00:34:43,122
How far are you going?
468
00:34:43,749 --> 00:34:46,792
[Al narrating] That took me by surprise.
I turned my head to look her over.
469
00:34:47,836 --> 00:34:50,588
She was facing straight ahead,
so I couldn't see her eyes.
470
00:34:51,006 --> 00:34:53,758
But she was young, not more than 24.
471
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:56,844
Man, she looked as if
she'd just been thrown off
472
00:34:56,928 --> 00:34:59,305
the crummiest freight train in the world.
473
00:35:00,140 --> 00:35:02,641
Yet, in spite of this,
I got the impression of beauty.
474
00:35:03,727 --> 00:35:06,020
Not the beauty of a movie actress,
mind you,
475
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,689
or the beauty you dream about
when you're with your wife,
476
00:35:08,774 --> 00:35:10,065
but a natural beauty,
477
00:35:10,567 --> 00:35:13,194
a beauty that's almost homely
because it's so real.
478
00:35:15,363 --> 00:35:17,114
Then, suddenly, she turned to face me.
479
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:20,409
- How far did you say you were going?
- Los Angeles.
480
00:35:20,494 --> 00:35:21,410
LA?
481
00:35:22,287 --> 00:35:25,790
- LA's good enough for me, mister.
- That's what I was afraid of.
482
00:35:25,874 --> 00:35:29,084
- What'd you say?
- Oh, nothing. Just thinking out loud.
483
00:35:29,169 --> 00:35:31,128
People get in trouble for doing that.
484
00:35:32,005 --> 00:35:34,715
- What's your name?
- You can call me Vera, if you like.
485
00:35:35,509 --> 00:35:37,176
- You live in Los Angeles?
- No.
486
00:35:39,054 --> 00:35:41,555
- Where you coming from?
- Oh, back there.
487
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,098
- Needles?
- No.
488
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:47,102
Oh, sure. Phoenix.
You look just like a Phoenix girl.
489
00:35:47,687 --> 00:35:49,855
- Are the girls in Phoenix that bad?
- [chuckles]
490
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:51,774
[Al narrating]
The girl must have been pretty tired
491
00:35:51,858 --> 00:35:54,944
because she fell asleep not 20 minutes
after she stepped into the car.
492
00:35:55,737 --> 00:35:59,782
She lay sprawled out with her head resting
against the far door, like Haskell.
493
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:03,452
I didn't like that part of it much,
but I didn't wake her up.
494
00:36:04,955 --> 00:36:06,872
It wasn't that this girl still worried me.
495
00:36:07,374 --> 00:36:10,376
I'd gotten over that funny feeling
I had when she looked at me,
496
00:36:10,460 --> 00:36:13,003
which I put down
as just my jangled nerves.
497
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:16,590
With her eyes closed
and the tenseness gone out of her,
498
00:36:16,675 --> 00:36:18,133
she seemed harmless enough.
499
00:36:18,885 --> 00:36:21,929
Instead of disliking her,
I began to feel sorry for her.
500
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:25,182
The poor kid probably
had had a rough time of it.
501
00:36:26,476 --> 00:36:27,977
Who was she, anyway?
502
00:36:28,061 --> 00:36:30,479
And why was she going to Los Angeles?
503
00:36:30,564 --> 00:36:32,898
And where'd she come from
in the first place?
504
00:36:32,983 --> 00:36:34,775
The only thing I knew about her
was her name.
505
00:36:35,777 --> 00:36:37,361
Not that it made any difference.
506
00:36:37,445 --> 00:36:39,738
A few hours more and we'd be in Hollywood.
507
00:36:39,823 --> 00:36:42,241
I'd forget where I parked the car
and look up Sue.
508
00:36:43,118 --> 00:36:45,286
This nightmare of being a dead man
would be over.
509
00:36:46,121 --> 00:36:48,831
Who this dame was, well,
it was no business of mine.
510
00:36:48,915 --> 00:36:52,918
Where did you leave his body?
Where did you leave the owner of this car?
511
00:36:53,003 --> 00:36:54,712
You're not fooling anyone.
512
00:36:55,297 --> 00:36:58,173
This buggy belongs to a guy named Haskell.
That's not you, mister.
513
00:36:58,258 --> 00:37:01,343
You're out of your mind. That's my name.
Charles Haskell. I can prove it.
514
00:37:01,428 --> 00:37:03,512
- Here's my driver's license.
- Save yourself the trouble, mister.
515
00:37:03,597 --> 00:37:05,848
Having Haskell's wallet
only makes it worse.
516
00:37:05,932 --> 00:37:08,017
It just so happens
I rode with Charlie Haskell
517
00:37:08,101 --> 00:37:09,685
all the way from Louisiana.
518
00:37:09,769 --> 00:37:11,854
He picked me up outside of Shreveport.
519
00:37:11,938 --> 00:37:13,564
- You rode...
- You heard me.
520
00:37:14,149 --> 00:37:15,983
[Al narrating] Then it all came back to me.
521
00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:18,652
All the talk about dueling
and scars and scratches.
522
00:37:19,613 --> 00:37:21,363
There was no doubt about it.
523
00:37:21,448 --> 00:37:23,949
Vera must be the woman
Haskell had mentioned.
524
00:37:24,034 --> 00:37:25,784
She must have passed me while I slept.
525
00:37:25,869 --> 00:37:28,871
Well? Well, I'm waiting.
526
00:37:28,955 --> 00:37:30,331
My goose was cooked.
527
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:32,082
She had me.
528
00:37:32,876 --> 00:37:34,668
That Haskell guy wasn't dead yet.
529
00:37:35,253 --> 00:37:38,172
He wasn't stretched out stiff and cold
in any Arizona gully.
530
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:41,425
He was sitting right there in the car,
laughing like mad while he haunted me.
531
00:37:43,345 --> 00:37:44,303
Well?
532
00:37:44,387 --> 00:37:47,514
There was nothing I could say.
It was her move.
533
00:37:48,224 --> 00:37:50,142
Vera, whatever her name was.
534
00:37:50,226 --> 00:37:52,478
It was just my luck
picking her up on the road.
535
00:37:53,313 --> 00:37:56,148
It couldn't have been Helen
or Mary or Evelyn or Ruth.
536
00:37:57,025 --> 00:37:59,526
It had to be the very last person
I should ever have met.
537
00:38:00,820 --> 00:38:01,820
That's life.
538
00:38:02,697 --> 00:38:05,491
Whichever way you turn,
fate sticks out a foot to trip you.
539
00:38:11,081 --> 00:38:13,457
I told her everything,
but she didn't believe my story.
540
00:38:13,541 --> 00:38:15,167
I should've saved my breath.
541
00:38:15,251 --> 00:38:17,670
That's the greatest cock-and-bull story
I ever heard.
542
00:38:17,754 --> 00:38:19,380
So he fell out of his car.
543
00:38:19,464 --> 00:38:21,507
Say, who do you think
you're talking to, a hick?
544
00:38:21,591 --> 00:38:23,592
Listen, mister. I've been around.
545
00:38:23,677 --> 00:38:27,054
And I know a wrong guy when I see one.
What'd you do, kiss him with a wrench?
546
00:38:27,138 --> 00:38:29,264
Now wait a minute.
What I told you was true.
547
00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:30,891
You see, that's why I had to do it.
548
00:38:30,976 --> 00:38:33,352
You think I killed him.
Well, the cops would've thought so too.
549
00:38:33,436 --> 00:38:35,187
Yeah, well maybe they still think so.
550
00:38:36,106 --> 00:38:38,482
What makes you so sure
I'll shut up about this?
551
00:38:38,566 --> 00:38:41,318
Vera, I'm innocent.
Give me a break, will you?
552
00:38:42,696 --> 00:38:44,488
It won't do me any good
having you pinched.
553
00:38:44,572 --> 00:38:46,115
The cops are no friends of mine.
554
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:49,076
Now, if there was a reward...
But there isn't.
555
00:38:49,703 --> 00:38:51,912
- Thanks.
- Don't thank me yet.
556
00:38:51,997 --> 00:38:55,332
I'm not through with you by a long shot.
Let's see that roll.
557
00:39:02,090 --> 00:39:03,674
Is that all Haskell had?
558
00:39:03,758 --> 00:39:05,509
- Isn't it enough?
- No, I thought he had more.
559
00:39:05,593 --> 00:39:07,845
Not that I know of. You can search me
if you think I'm holding out on you.
560
00:39:07,929 --> 00:39:09,596
Well, maybe I will at that.
561
00:39:09,681 --> 00:39:11,807
He told me he was gonna bet $3,000
562
00:39:11,891 --> 00:39:14,560
on a horse named Paradisiacal
on Wednesday at Santa Anita.
563
00:39:14,644 --> 00:39:16,979
- He was stringing you along. He meant 300.
- Maybe.
564
00:39:17,063 --> 00:39:20,357
Sure. Three bucks, 300.
He was a piece of cheese, a big blowhard.
565
00:39:20,442 --> 00:39:23,277
Listen, mister. Don't try and tell me
anything about Charlie Haskell.
566
00:39:23,361 --> 00:39:25,279
Remember, I knew him better than you did.
567
00:39:25,363 --> 00:39:28,073
Okay, then you knew he was a four-flusher.
That explains the three-grand bet.
568
00:39:28,158 --> 00:39:30,576
I'm not so sure
he didn't have that three grand.
569
00:39:30,660 --> 00:39:34,121
Why should I believe you?
You got all the earmarks of a cheap crook.
570
00:39:34,205 --> 00:39:35,622
- Now, wait a minute.
- Shut up.
571
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:37,207
You're a cheap crook and you killed him.
572
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:39,418
For two cents,
I'd change my mind and turn you in.
573
00:39:39,502 --> 00:39:40,794
I don't like you!
574
00:39:40,879 --> 00:39:43,338
- All right, all right. Don't get sore.
- I'm not getting sore.
575
00:39:43,423 --> 00:39:45,507
But just remember who's boss around here.
576
00:39:45,592 --> 00:39:47,134
If you shut up
and don't give me any arguments,
577
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:48,677
you'll have nothing to worry about.
578
00:39:48,762 --> 00:39:50,512
But if you act wise, well, mister,
579
00:39:50,597 --> 00:39:53,182
you'll pop into jail so fast
it'll give you the bends.
580
00:39:53,266 --> 00:39:55,059
- I'm not arguing.
- Well, see that you don't.
581
00:39:55,143 --> 00:39:56,477
You know, as crooked as you look,
582
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:59,605
I'd hate to see a fella as young as you
wind up sniffing that perfume
583
00:39:59,689 --> 00:40:01,482
that Arizona hands out free to murderers.
584
00:40:01,566 --> 00:40:03,233
- I'm not a murderer.
- Of course you're not.
585
00:40:03,318 --> 00:40:04,693
Haskell knocked his own head off.
586
00:40:04,778 --> 00:40:06,278
He fell. That's how it happened,
just like I told you.
587
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:08,530
Sure, and then he made you a present
of his belongings.
588
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:10,324
- I explained why...
- Oh, skip it.
589
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:13,118
Doesn't make a difference one way
or another. I'm not a mourner.
590
00:40:13,203 --> 00:40:15,412
I liked Haskell even less than I like you.
591
00:40:15,955 --> 00:40:17,372
Yeah, I saw what you did to him.
592
00:40:17,457 --> 00:40:19,541
- What do you mean?
- Those scratches on his wrists.
593
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:20,959
Sure, I scratched him.
594
00:40:21,961 --> 00:40:23,128
I'll say you did.
595
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:26,673
So your idea was
to drive the car a little way,
596
00:40:26,758 --> 00:40:28,967
maybe into San Bernardino,
and then leave it.
597
00:40:29,052 --> 00:40:30,385
You weren't gonna sell it?
598
00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:33,597
Sell it? You think I'm crazy?
Somebody else's car?
599
00:40:33,681 --> 00:40:36,266
All I wanna do is leave it somewhere
and forget I ever saw it.
600
00:40:36,351 --> 00:40:39,269
Not only don't you have any scruples,
you don't have any brains.
601
00:40:39,354 --> 00:40:42,022
- I don't get you.
- Maybe it's a good thing you met me.
602
00:40:42,107 --> 00:40:44,983
You would of got yourself caught, sure.
Why, you dope.
603
00:40:45,068 --> 00:40:48,362
Don't you know a deserted automobile
always rates an investigation?
604
00:40:48,696 --> 00:40:49,863
Huh?
605
00:40:49,948 --> 00:40:52,783
Look. The cops find a car.
Then they get curious.
606
00:40:52,867 --> 00:40:54,493
They wonder where the owner is.
607
00:40:54,577 --> 00:40:57,996
So, all right, they don't trace Haskell.
They trace you.
608
00:40:58,206 --> 00:40:59,790
I never thought of that.
609
00:40:59,874 --> 00:41:02,626
The only safe way to get rid of the car
is to sell it to a dealer,
610
00:41:02,710 --> 00:41:04,253
get it registered under a new name.
611
00:41:04,754 --> 00:41:06,004
Say, stop at the next store.
612
00:41:06,089 --> 00:41:08,882
I wanna get a bottle and do some shopping
before we hit LA.
613
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:12,219
Okay. Soon as we find a place,
I'll drop you off and pick you up later.
614
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:14,429
Nothin' doin'. You're coming in too.
615
00:41:14,514 --> 00:41:17,349
From now on,
you and I are like the Siamese twins.
616
00:41:17,433 --> 00:41:19,434
Have it your way,
but I don't get the point.
617
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:21,687
The point is I don't want you to get lost.
618
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:23,397
I'm not gonna beat it,
if that's what you're afraid of.
619
00:41:23,481 --> 00:41:24,648
I'll say you're not.
620
00:41:24,732 --> 00:41:27,568
Well, I'm gonna see that you sell this car
so you don't get caught.
621
00:41:27,652 --> 00:41:31,446
Thanks. Of course, your interest
wouldn't be financial, would it?
622
00:41:31,531 --> 00:41:33,699
You wouldn't want
a small percentage of the profits?
623
00:41:34,284 --> 00:41:37,202
Well, now that you insist,
how can I refuse?
624
00:41:37,287 --> 00:41:38,912
A hundred percent'll do.
625
00:41:38,997 --> 00:41:40,873
Fine. I'm relieved.
626
00:41:40,957 --> 00:41:43,208
I thought for a moment
you were gonna take it all.
627
00:41:43,293 --> 00:41:44,710
I don't want to be a hog.
628
00:41:46,588 --> 00:41:48,672
[Al narrating] A few hours later,
we were in Hollywood.
629
00:41:49,090 --> 00:41:51,466
I was recognizing places
Sue had written about.
630
00:41:52,051 --> 00:41:55,012
It struck me that,
far from being at the end of the trip,
631
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:58,098
there was a greater distance between Sue
and me than when I started out.
632
00:41:59,434 --> 00:42:02,060
Vera wasn't kidding
with that Siamese twins crack.
633
00:42:02,687 --> 00:42:06,106
She rented a little apartment
as Mrs. Charles Haskell.
634
00:42:07,025 --> 00:42:10,110
When I objected to this, she explained
that it was on account of the car.
635
00:42:10,612 --> 00:42:12,154
A dealer might think something was funny
636
00:42:12,238 --> 00:42:14,531
if he called and found
we were using different names.
637
00:42:19,704 --> 00:42:21,538
- Home, sweet home.
- Yeah.
638
00:42:22,457 --> 00:42:23,498
Not bad, either.
639
00:42:31,466 --> 00:42:33,842
In case there's any doubt in your mind,
I'll take the bedroom.
640
00:42:34,302 --> 00:42:35,177
Yeah.
641
00:42:36,471 --> 00:42:37,846
Sure is stuffy in here.
642
00:42:45,980 --> 00:42:47,689
- Keep the window shut.
- Okay.
643
00:42:50,026 --> 00:42:53,487
The old crow downstairs said
there's a folding bed behind this door.
644
00:42:59,535 --> 00:43:00,702
You know how to work it?
645
00:43:04,457 --> 00:43:05,540
I invented it.
646
00:43:09,504 --> 00:43:11,630
- Some joint.
- One can't have everything.
647
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,387
I'm first in the bathtub.
648
00:43:19,180 --> 00:43:22,140
I don't know why,
but I figured you would be.
649
00:43:31,985 --> 00:43:35,570
Boy, oh, boy. [sighs]
It sure feels good to be clean again.
650
00:43:36,948 --> 00:43:38,407
I must be ten pounds lighter.
651
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:40,450
You must be.
652
00:43:40,535 --> 00:43:42,077
[saxophone playing]
653
00:43:42,161 --> 00:43:45,372
Well, hitchin' rides isn't exactly the way
you keep your schoolgirl complexion.
654
00:43:49,585 --> 00:43:51,712
I wish that guy with the sax
would give up.
655
00:43:53,089 --> 00:43:54,423
It gets on my nerves.
656
00:43:56,509 --> 00:43:57,509
Forget it.
657
00:44:00,138 --> 00:44:01,179
Have a drink.
658
00:44:02,390 --> 00:44:04,141
Aren't you afraid
I'm gonna take you up on it?
659
00:44:06,269 --> 00:44:08,562
If I didn't wanna give you a drink,
I wouldn't have offered it.
660
00:44:09,731 --> 00:44:12,983
Why be a sorehead, Roberts?
You got yourself into this thing.
661
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:15,902
You should be grateful
I'm not turning you in.
662
00:44:16,904 --> 00:44:19,114
Why, if I wasn't regular,
you'd be in the pen this minute
663
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:22,284
being photographed, fingerprinted,
and being pushed around by the cops.
664
00:44:23,077 --> 00:44:25,620
So cheer up. Get rid of that long puss.
665
00:44:27,874 --> 00:44:29,666
Or is your conscience bothering you?
666
00:44:34,672 --> 00:44:35,505
No.
667
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:37,382
It isn't.
668
00:44:37,467 --> 00:44:39,468
Swell. That's the spirit.
669
00:44:41,012 --> 00:44:43,180
He's dead,
and no moaning around will bring him back.
670
00:44:46,684 --> 00:44:50,312
Anyway, I never could understand this worrying
about something that's over and done with.
671
00:44:50,396 --> 00:44:52,439
Now look, Vera.
For the last time, I didn't kill him.
672
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:53,982
Haskell was a sick man.
673
00:44:54,067 --> 00:44:56,109
Maybe he was dead before he fell
out of the car. I don't know.
674
00:44:56,194 --> 00:44:58,403
Sure, sure. He died of old age.
675
00:44:59,364 --> 00:45:00,364
All right.
676
00:45:01,324 --> 00:45:02,824
So if it'll make you sociable...
677
00:45:04,577 --> 00:45:05,827
you didn't kill him.
678
00:45:16,464 --> 00:45:17,297
Thanks.
679
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:31,186
- We're outta liquor, Roberts.
- Yeah.
680
00:45:32,313 --> 00:45:35,440
Too bad.
I felt like getting tight tonight.
681
00:45:35,525 --> 00:45:37,567
Well, I think you succeeded.
682
00:45:37,652 --> 00:45:40,737
- Am I tight?
- As a prima donna's corset.
683
00:45:40,822 --> 00:45:42,197
- That's good.
- [glass clatters]
684
00:45:42,281 --> 00:45:44,074
I wanted to get tight.
685
00:45:44,158 --> 00:45:46,785
Why? What have you got to get tight about?
686
00:45:46,869 --> 00:45:49,246
Oh, I don't know. A few things.
687
00:45:50,123 --> 00:45:50,956
[Al] Huh.
688
00:45:52,583 --> 00:45:54,042
You should have my worries.
689
00:45:54,127 --> 00:45:56,670
If I had your troubles, I'd stay sober.
690
00:45:56,754 --> 00:45:58,380
And I've got the key to that door.
691
00:46:01,926 --> 00:46:04,678
Yeah. Maybe you're right.
692
00:46:04,762 --> 00:46:06,388
I'm always right.
693
00:46:07,723 --> 00:46:10,183
You know, I don't like your attitude,
Roberts.
694
00:46:10,268 --> 00:46:12,018
Well, there's a lot of things I don't like.
695
00:46:13,479 --> 00:46:14,813
Say...
696
00:46:17,191 --> 00:46:19,276
But life's like a ball game.
697
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,111
You got to take a swing
at whatever comes along
698
00:46:21,195 --> 00:46:23,613
before you wake up
and find it's the ninth inning.
699
00:46:24,532 --> 00:46:25,782
Bet you read that somewhere.
700
00:46:25,867 --> 00:46:29,703
That's the trouble with you, Roberts.
All you do is bellyache.
701
00:46:30,788 --> 00:46:35,500
You could have taken it easy and,
well, try and make the best of things.
702
00:46:35,585 --> 00:46:38,378
But maybe that's what's wrong
with the whole world.
703
00:46:38,463 --> 00:46:40,297
Get the professor.
704
00:46:40,381 --> 00:46:43,133
People knock themselves out
trying to buck fate.
705
00:46:43,217 --> 00:46:46,386
Now take you, for instance.
You're lucky to be alive.
706
00:46:46,471 --> 00:46:49,055
Why, suppose Haskell had pulled open
your door?
707
00:46:49,140 --> 00:46:51,850
You'd be playing a harp now.
Think of that.
708
00:46:53,603 --> 00:46:56,855
You think of it. I'm tired of thinking.
709
00:46:56,939 --> 00:46:59,816
There's plenty of people dying this minute
710
00:46:59,901 --> 00:47:02,402
that would give anything
to trade places with you.
711
00:47:04,363 --> 00:47:05,989
I know what I'm talking about.
712
00:47:07,033 --> 00:47:10,744
I'm not so sure.
At least they know they're done for.
713
00:47:10,828 --> 00:47:13,580
They don't just sweat blood
wondering if they are.
714
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:16,750
Your philosophy stinks, pal.
715
00:47:18,002 --> 00:47:21,796
We all know we're gonna kick off someday.
It's only a question of when.
716
00:47:23,591 --> 00:47:26,551
But what got us on this subject anyway?
717
00:47:26,636 --> 00:47:28,553
We'll be discussing politics next.
718
00:47:29,388 --> 00:47:30,472
Yeah.
719
00:47:32,058 --> 00:47:33,433
Where'd you hide the butts?
720
00:47:34,310 --> 00:47:35,936
On the table, sucker.
721
00:47:43,611 --> 00:47:47,113
[Al narrating] We bored each other with
conversation for a couple of hours longer.
722
00:47:47,198 --> 00:47:50,408
Every five minutes, one of us was wishing
we had another bottle or a radio
723
00:47:50,493 --> 00:47:52,118
or something to read.
724
00:47:53,538 --> 00:47:55,247
Then finally we ran out of chat.
725
00:47:56,207 --> 00:47:57,499
I know it's only eleven o'clock,
726
00:47:57,583 --> 00:48:00,085
but I want to get up early
and make the rounds to the used car lots.
727
00:48:00,169 --> 00:48:03,088
No hurry about that.
We got all the time in the world.
728
00:48:03,172 --> 00:48:05,257
Maybe you have, but if you think
I want to stay cooped up in this place
729
00:48:05,341 --> 00:48:06,925
any longer than I have to, you're batty.
730
00:48:07,009 --> 00:48:10,262
It's not a bad place. Pay plenty
for diggings like this in New York.
731
00:48:10,346 --> 00:48:12,347
I wouldn't like it if it was the Ritz.
732
00:48:12,431 --> 00:48:14,849
[coughs]
733
00:48:16,602 --> 00:48:18,144
Rotten liquor. [coughs]
734
00:48:18,229 --> 00:48:20,981
You got a mean cough.
Ought to do something about it.
735
00:48:21,065 --> 00:48:22,315
I'll be all right.
736
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,817
That's what Camille said.
737
00:48:24,527 --> 00:48:25,652
Who?
738
00:48:25,736 --> 00:48:27,195
Nobody you know.
739
00:48:30,908 --> 00:48:33,368
- Wasn't that the dame that died of consumption?
- Yeah.
740
00:48:34,704 --> 00:48:37,289
Wouldn't it be a break for you
if I did kick off.
741
00:48:37,373 --> 00:48:40,333
You'd be free
with all Haskell's dough and car.
742
00:48:40,418 --> 00:48:42,043
I don't want to see anybody die.
743
00:48:43,212 --> 00:48:44,921
Not even me?
744
00:48:45,006 --> 00:48:48,008
Especially not you. One person died on me.
745
00:48:48,092 --> 00:48:50,510
If you did, well, that's all I need.
746
00:48:52,388 --> 00:48:54,222
You don't like me, do you, Roberts?
747
00:48:55,933 --> 00:48:56,975
Like you?
748
00:48:58,352 --> 00:48:59,769
I love you.
749
00:49:01,022 --> 00:49:02,981
My favorite sport is being kept prisoner.
750
00:49:04,025 --> 00:49:07,485
After we sell the car, you can go to blazes
for all I care, but not until then.
751
00:49:14,910 --> 00:49:16,536
I'm going to bed.
752
00:49:24,962 --> 00:49:26,463
Good night, Roberts.
753
00:49:26,547 --> 00:49:29,549
Don't try and sneak away during the night.
All the doors are locked.
754
00:49:29,634 --> 00:49:33,136
Anyway, if I find you gone in the morning,
I'll notify the police.
755
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:35,889
- They'll pick you up.
- Don't worry. I know when I'm in a spot.
756
00:49:36,974 --> 00:49:40,935
Well, good night. I hope that portable
rack isn't too uncomfortable for you.
757
00:49:41,020 --> 00:49:43,146
Don't lose any sleep over it,
will you, Vera?
758
00:49:44,940 --> 00:49:47,025
[key scratching lock]

[whispers] 2... 3.
762
00:50:33,948 --> 00:50:35,073
Hello?
763
00:50:36,117 --> 00:50:37,117
Hello!
764
00:50:38,327 --> 00:50:39,411
Hello?
765
00:50:40,579 --> 00:50:41,746
Hello?
766
00:50:48,295 --> 00:50:51,881
No. Not yet, darling.
767
00:50:53,134 --> 00:50:54,509
Tomorrow.
768
00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:56,928
Maybe.
769
00:51:00,391 --> 00:51:01,891
[Al narrating] if this were fiction,
770
00:51:01,976 --> 00:51:05,562
I would fall in love with her, marry her,
and make a respectable woman of her,
771
00:51:05,646 --> 00:51:09,816
or else she'd make some supreme,
class-A sacrifice for me and die.
772
00:51:11,152 --> 00:51:13,361
Sue and I would ball a little
over her grave
773
00:51:13,446 --> 00:51:16,448
and make some crack about
"there's good in all of us."
774
00:51:16,532 --> 00:51:20,160
But Vera, unfortunately,
was just as rotten in the morning
775
00:51:20,244 --> 00:51:21,870
as she'd been the night before.
776
00:51:21,954 --> 00:51:23,455
[knocking]
777
00:51:23,539 --> 00:51:25,415
All right, all right, I'm coming.
778
00:51:25,499 --> 00:51:27,459
[Al] Look, Vera, it's almost noon.
779
00:51:29,003 --> 00:51:31,254
So what?
The dealers will be there all day.
780
00:51:31,338 --> 00:51:34,007
They'll be there all year too, but it
doesn't mean I'm gonna wait that long.
781
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:36,551
Shut up.
You're making noises like a husband.
782
00:51:39,180 --> 00:51:42,932
- Well, do I rate a whistle?
- You sure do, but let's go.
783
00:51:43,017 --> 00:51:46,519
Let's go, let's go. I spend 85 bucks
and two hours preparing bait,
784
00:51:46,604 --> 00:51:48,188
and all you can say is "Let's go."
785
00:51:48,272 --> 00:51:51,274
[sighs] Come on.
786
00:51:56,071 --> 00:51:58,698
We passed a few used car lots
last night down this way.
787
00:51:58,783 --> 00:52:00,784
What do you think
we can get for this heap?
788
00:52:00,868 --> 00:52:04,496
I don't know. Plenty.
You just let me handle everything.
789
00:52:04,580 --> 00:52:06,206
You think we can get $2,000?
790
00:52:06,290 --> 00:52:07,707
I don't know. But don't worry.
791
00:52:07,792 --> 00:52:10,126
I'll squeeze as much
out of this guy as I can.
792
00:52:10,211 --> 00:52:13,296
If I let it go cheap without a fight,
he might think we've stolen the car.
793
00:52:13,380 --> 00:52:17,675
And listen, don't make any slips
and call me Roberts. That'll cook us.
794
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,636
I don't need you to tell me that.
795
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:21,930
You better just sit by
and keep your mouth closed.
796
00:52:22,014 --> 00:52:24,015
Remember, we're both in the soup
if anything happens.
797
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:25,642
Forget it and drive.
798
00:52:25,726 --> 00:52:28,144
You're my wife... Vera Haskell.
799
00:52:28,229 --> 00:52:32,315
Look, after the deal's closed, let's go
back to that place on Hollywood Boulevard
800
00:52:32,399 --> 00:52:33,942
where I saw the fur jacket.
801
00:52:34,026 --> 00:52:35,235
I want to buy it.
802
00:52:35,319 --> 00:52:37,987
After the deal's closed,
I'm saying good-bye to you.
803
00:52:38,072 --> 00:52:41,491
That's right. I forgot.
I guess I'm getting kind of used to you.
804
00:52:42,743 --> 00:52:45,036
Well, that's a habit
you can start breaking.
805
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,455
Let's try this place
in the middle of the block.
806
00:52:53,671 --> 00:52:55,129
Good afternoon. What can I do for you?
807
00:52:55,214 --> 00:52:58,508
- We're interested in selling a car.
- If the price is right.
808
00:53:01,387 --> 00:53:05,473
Well, if it's in good mechanical condition,
it should blue book for about 1,600.
809
00:53:06,475 --> 00:53:07,892
Tony, take a look at this motor.
810
00:53:07,977 --> 00:53:10,228
1,600. Are you kidding?
811
00:53:14,108 --> 00:53:15,900
[car hood opening]
812
00:53:21,448 --> 00:53:23,283
Well, maybe 1,850.
813
00:53:23,367 --> 00:53:26,744
Before I let it go for 1,850, I'll wreck it
and collect the insurance first.
814
00:53:26,829 --> 00:53:27,912
[coughs]
815
00:53:31,375 --> 00:53:33,376
Lady, this motor's seen a lot of driving.
816
00:53:39,925 --> 00:53:43,219
[Al narrating] While the mechanic
inspected the car, we haggled.
817
00:53:43,721 --> 00:53:46,973
At last, when we were all worn out,
we hit a compromise...
818
00:53:47,057 --> 00:53:48,600
his price.
819
00:53:51,896 --> 00:53:53,104
Okay, it's a deal.
820
00:53:53,188 --> 00:53:56,524
- Come in, we'll sign the papers.
- I have the ownership papers here with me.
821
00:53:56,609 --> 00:53:59,319
Look, Vera, in the meantime,
will you clean out the dash compartment?
822
00:53:59,403 --> 00:54:02,196
- There may be some stuff in it.
- All right, darling.
823
00:54:04,325 --> 00:54:06,534
1,850 bucks.
824
00:54:06,619 --> 00:54:08,244
That dirty cr...
825
00:54:15,544 --> 00:54:17,420
- Mm, New York, huh?
- Yeah.
826
00:54:17,504 --> 00:54:20,757
- But you bought the car in Miami?
- Yeah.
827
00:54:20,841 --> 00:54:22,467
Well, now, let's see about the insurance.
828
00:54:22,551 --> 00:54:24,552
We can either have it transferred
or canceled.
829
00:54:24,637 --> 00:54:27,263
Uh, what kind of insurance do you have,
Mr. Haskell?
830
00:54:28,432 --> 00:54:31,559
Well, uh, aren't all the papers there?
831
00:54:33,729 --> 00:54:37,857
I don't see any. Surely you know what type
of insurance you carry on the car.
832
00:54:37,942 --> 00:54:39,442
The name of the company?
833
00:54:40,277 --> 00:54:41,486
Yeah, but, uh...
834
00:54:41,570 --> 00:54:43,321
Well, if you'll just tell me
the name of the company,
835
00:54:43,405 --> 00:54:45,114
I'd be very glad to take care
of all the details.
836
00:54:45,199 --> 00:54:46,324
Well...
837
00:54:46,408 --> 00:54:48,409
- Did you sign the papers yet?
- Not yet.
838
00:54:48,494 --> 00:54:50,536
Well, don't. We're not selling the car.
839
00:54:50,621 --> 00:54:52,538
- Well, wait a minute, Mrs. Haskell...
- Come on, darling.
840
00:54:52,623 --> 00:54:55,917
- What's the matter? Change your mind?
- Yes. I'm sorry. I guess I have.
841
00:54:56,001 --> 00:54:57,377
- But, Vera...
- Let's go.
842
00:55:03,384 --> 00:55:06,636
You got me out of a tight spot, Vera,
but I still don't understand all this.
843
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:09,722
You will in a minute.
I almost threw away a gold mine.
844
00:55:09,807 --> 00:55:13,726
1,850 isn't to be sneezed at. The car
doesn't book for as much as I thought.
845
00:55:13,811 --> 00:55:15,478
We're not selling the car.
846
00:55:15,562 --> 00:55:17,438
You want to keep it?
Now wait a minute, Vera.
847
00:55:17,523 --> 00:55:20,608
You said yourself I wouldn't be safe
until the car was in someone else's name.
848
00:55:20,693 --> 00:55:22,360
I'd like to be free of this mess
when I go.
849
00:55:22,444 --> 00:55:24,612
That's just it, Roberts. You're not going.
850
00:55:25,531 --> 00:55:27,365
- [sighs]
- There's a drive-in at the next corner.
851
00:55:27,449 --> 00:55:30,201
Pull in there and we'll get a bite to eat
and I'll explain.
852
00:55:30,285 --> 00:55:32,453
What is this,
another one of your brilliant ideas?
853
00:55:38,794 --> 00:55:41,671
- Hello. May I take your order?
- Make mine a ham sandwich and coffee.
854
00:55:41,755 --> 00:55:44,340
- And for you, sir?
- Oh, I don't care. The same.
855
00:55:46,510 --> 00:55:47,719
Thank you.
856
00:55:52,224 --> 00:55:55,226
Get this, Vera,
I've been pretty patient so far.
857
00:55:55,310 --> 00:55:57,311
I've done everything you asked me to do,
but no more.
858
00:55:57,396 --> 00:55:59,564
- Shut up.
- You've taken Haskell's money.
859
00:55:59,648 --> 00:56:01,524
And you can have the dough we get
from selling the car,
860
00:56:01,608 --> 00:56:03,192
but you're not gonna keep me a prisoner.
861
00:56:03,277 --> 00:56:05,069
It's a good thing I bought the paper.
Look at that.
862
00:56:05,154 --> 00:56:07,030
- Vera, I'm in no mood...
- Read that.
863
00:56:17,708 --> 00:56:19,292
- No.
- Yes.
864
00:56:19,376 --> 00:56:20,960
- No, I won't do it.
- Yes, you will.
865
00:56:21,045 --> 00:56:23,254
You think I'm crazy.
It's impossible, I tell ya.
866
00:56:24,131 --> 00:56:25,173
Excuse me.
867
00:56:30,637 --> 00:56:32,138
Blow the horn when you're through.
868
00:56:35,350 --> 00:56:38,561
No one could possibly get away with an act
like that. Be wise to me in a minute.
869
00:56:38,645 --> 00:56:39,812
Don't be yellow.
870
00:56:39,897 --> 00:56:42,690
You look enough like him.
The same coloring and the same build.
871
00:56:42,775 --> 00:56:44,358
See how his clothes fit ya?
872
00:56:44,443 --> 00:56:46,235
No kidding. You almost
had me fooled for a while.
873
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:47,528
Oh, grow up, Vera.
874
00:56:47,613 --> 00:56:50,406
Don't you think a father knows his own
son? There must be other relatives.
875
00:56:50,491 --> 00:56:53,326
The father won't have to know ya.
We'll wait till he gives up the ghost.
876
00:56:53,410 --> 00:56:55,411
He's an old geezer
and he won't pull through.
877
00:56:55,496 --> 00:56:59,373
And as far as the relatives are concerned,
they haven't seen you in 15 or 20 years.
878
00:57:00,876 --> 00:57:02,585
- Eat.
- I'm not hungry.
879
00:57:03,253 --> 00:57:06,130
- And I won't do it.
- It's not as tough as it sounds.
880
00:57:06,215 --> 00:57:08,049
Remember, you've got
all kinds of identification...
881
00:57:08,133 --> 00:57:09,133
his car, letters, license...
882
00:57:09,218 --> 00:57:11,761
I could never get away with it.
It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
883
00:57:11,845 --> 00:57:13,888
The old boy has scads of dough.
884
00:57:13,972 --> 00:57:17,141
Look in the paper there. Personal fortune
assessed at over 15 million.
885
00:57:17,226 --> 00:57:18,684
He'll leave plenty, I tell ya.
886
00:57:18,769 --> 00:57:20,937
Maybe he cut off his son.
How do we know?
887
00:57:21,021 --> 00:57:23,606
It's out, Vera.
I won't have anything to do with it.
888
00:57:24,817 --> 00:57:27,068
I think you will.
889
00:57:27,152 --> 00:57:30,696
Look, Vera, I'll do anything
within reason, but not that.
890
00:57:30,781 --> 00:57:32,698
So forget it or find yourself another stooge.
891
00:57:32,783 --> 00:57:34,033
You sap!
892
00:57:34,785 --> 00:57:36,911
You'll be fixed for the rest of your life
as Charlie Haskell.
893
00:57:36,995 --> 00:57:40,081
You can take your inheritance and go away.
No more worrying about the rent.
894
00:57:40,165 --> 00:57:42,291
No sweating, scheming, wondering
where your next meal's coming from!
895
00:57:42,376 --> 00:57:43,417
Think about that, Roberts!
896
00:57:43,502 --> 00:57:46,295
Vera, please. You're talking too loud.
897
00:57:46,713 --> 00:57:49,298
On this I'm splitting 50-50 with you.
Sure, why not?
898
00:57:49,383 --> 00:57:51,050
We're both alike.
Both born in the same gutter.
899
00:57:51,135 --> 00:57:52,301
Now take it easy, Vera.
900
00:57:52,386 --> 00:57:54,637
There's people around here.
You don't know what you're talking...
901
00:57:55,806 --> 00:57:59,684
We'll wait till we read that old man
Haskell's dead. Then you show up.
902
00:57:59,768 --> 00:58:02,061
Like you read in New York
that he was sick.
903
00:58:02,146 --> 00:58:04,772
No! Suppose he doesn't die?
904
00:58:04,857 --> 00:58:06,941
He will. I know he will.
Something tells me.
905
00:58:09,611 --> 00:58:12,405
[Al narrating] But as much as I insisted
I would have no part of her scheme,
906
00:58:12,489 --> 00:58:14,448
Vera was taking it for granted I would.
907
00:58:16,535 --> 00:58:19,954
Neither of us had our mind on the cards
as we played that night.
908
00:58:20,038 --> 00:58:23,207
I knew we were just trying to kill time
between newspaper editions.
909
00:58:24,042 --> 00:58:26,002
This was a deathwatch for Vera.
910
00:58:27,129 --> 00:58:28,713
Maybe it was for me too.
911
00:58:28,797 --> 00:58:32,383
Don't you realize if I'm caught they'll want
to know where I got the car and stuff?
912
00:58:32,467 --> 00:58:35,595
- Then they'll have me on a murder charge.
- If you're smart, you won't get caught.
913
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:37,054
I knock with seven.
914
00:58:37,139 --> 00:58:39,348
And if I'm caught,
don't you realize you'll be out too?
915
00:58:39,808 --> 00:58:42,935
Eighteen points. That gives me 30.
916
00:58:44,188 --> 00:58:45,438
How will I be out?
917
00:58:45,522 --> 00:58:47,982
You'll be out $1,850 we would have gotten
on the car.
918
00:58:48,066 --> 00:58:49,483
Really, Vera, you'd be an awful chump
919
00:58:49,568 --> 00:58:51,569
if you threw away all that dough
on a dizzy long shot.
920
00:58:51,653 --> 00:58:52,904
Let me sell the bus tomorrow.
921
00:58:52,988 --> 00:58:54,655
With the money it'll bring
and what you've already got,
922
00:58:54,740 --> 00:58:56,449
a clever kid like you
can run it up in no time.
923
00:58:56,533 --> 00:58:59,035
- Then we'd both be in the clear.
- I'll be in the clear anyway.
924
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:00,912
Maybe. Maybe.
925
00:59:00,996 --> 00:59:02,580
But if I got caught...
926
00:59:03,540 --> 00:59:06,083
- I'd get good and sore at you, you know.
- You mean you'd squeal?
927
00:59:06,168 --> 00:59:08,377
- Well, no, not squeal exactly...
- Never mind what you meant!
928
00:59:11,048 --> 00:59:14,425
Even if you did tell the cops
I was in on it with you,
929
00:59:14,509 --> 00:59:15,885
what could they do to me?
930
00:59:16,929 --> 00:59:19,347
They might give me the same medicine
they gave you.
931
00:59:19,431 --> 00:59:21,140
- Yeah.
- A rope.
932
00:59:23,644 --> 00:59:25,770
But I'm on my way anyhow.
933
00:59:27,731 --> 00:59:29,732
All they'll be doing will be rushing it.
934
00:59:30,359 --> 00:59:32,818
All right. But think of the 1,850 you'd lose.
935
00:59:32,903 --> 00:59:35,655
You'd kick yourself along the block
if you let that get away from you.
936
00:59:35,739 --> 00:59:38,658
I'll take the chance. Want another drink?
937
00:59:38,742 --> 00:59:41,744
You're being a goon. That's the way
people wind up behind the eight ball.
938
00:59:41,828 --> 00:59:44,330
Once they get a few dollars,
they become greedy and want more.
939
00:59:44,414 --> 00:59:45,706
My, my.
940
00:59:45,791 --> 00:59:46,791
- Caesar.
- Who?
941
00:59:46,875 --> 00:59:49,585
You know, that Roman general?
He got his for being greedy.
942
00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:52,838
He wasn't satisfied.
So the final windup was he took the count.
943
00:59:52,923 --> 00:59:55,299
A couple of days ago you didn't have a dime.
944
00:59:55,384 --> 00:59:58,219
Why, you were so broke
you couldn't pay cash for a postage stamp.
945
00:59:58,303 --> 01:00:01,347
Now you've got almost $700,
with 1,850 in the offing.
946
01:00:01,431 --> 01:00:03,099
Take my advice. Don't try for more.
947
01:00:03,183 --> 01:00:05,768
I'm tired of this game.
Let's have some blackjack.
948
01:00:05,852 --> 01:00:06,686
Play solitaire.
949
01:00:06,770 --> 01:00:09,313
- I will, if that's the way you feel about it.
- That's the way I feel about it.
950
01:00:09,398 --> 01:00:11,607
Getting sore and throwing things
won't help much, Roberts.
951
01:00:11,692 --> 01:00:15,111
I'm merely doing you a favor. I help you out of
a jam by keepin' my mouth shut.
952
01:00:15,195 --> 01:00:18,072
I show you how to make some soft money,
and what thanks do I get?
953
01:00:18,156 --> 01:00:19,156
- Thanks?
- Sure.
954
01:00:19,241 --> 01:00:21,659
Or would you rather I called the cops and told
them you killed a man and stole his money?
955
01:00:21,743 --> 01:00:22,827
- I didn't kill anybody.
- Yes, you did.
956
01:00:22,911 --> 01:00:25,705
- No, I didn't. You know I didn't.
- All right, then.
957
01:00:28,542 --> 01:00:30,251
Suppose I call the cops?
958
01:00:30,335 --> 01:00:32,920
If you're innocent,
what do you got to be scared of?
959
01:00:33,005 --> 01:00:36,590
Okay, call 'em, you mutt. Go ahead and call 'em.
See if I care.
960
01:00:36,675 --> 01:00:39,552
- At least they'll give me a square deal.
- You want me to call 'em?
961
01:00:39,636 --> 01:00:43,597
You heard me. But I'm warning ya.
If I'm pinched, I'll swear you were in on it.
962
01:00:43,682 --> 01:00:46,976
I'll say that you helped me.
If I'm frying, I'll get even with you.
963
01:00:47,060 --> 01:00:48,686
You wouldn't dare. You're chicken!
964
01:00:48,770 --> 01:00:52,815
Yeah? Then try it and see.
Call 'em. Yeah.
965
01:00:53,650 --> 01:00:55,067
Okay, I will.
966
01:00:57,112 --> 01:01:00,489
[dialing]
967
01:01:07,706 --> 01:01:09,915
Information.
968
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,835
I want the number
of the Hollywood police station.
969
01:01:14,713 --> 01:01:16,756
Okay, I got it. Thanks.
970
01:01:17,966 --> 01:01:19,592
[phone hook clicks]
971
01:01:19,676 --> 01:01:21,677
- [dialing]
- Wait a minute, Vera. You wouldn't do that.
972
01:01:21,762 --> 01:01:23,721
Oh, wouldn't I? Give me that
and I'll show you if I would!
973
01:01:23,805 --> 01:01:25,681
Take it easy now. Let's talk this over.
974
01:01:25,766 --> 01:01:27,558
[Al narrating]
This was early in the evening.
975
01:01:27,642 --> 01:01:32,146
And the conversation, while hectic,
was at least pitched low.
976
01:01:32,230 --> 01:01:36,776
But as the minutes passed and more obstacles
to her plan popped into my head,
977
01:01:36,860 --> 01:01:38,486
the air got blue.
978
01:01:38,570 --> 01:01:41,822
Each word coming from our lips
cracked like a whip.
979
01:01:41,907 --> 01:01:45,785
I reminded her that as Charles Haskell
I didn't even know my mother's name,
980
01:01:45,869 --> 01:01:47,578
where I'd gone to school,
981
01:01:47,662 --> 01:01:49,413
the name of my best friend,
982
01:01:49,498 --> 01:01:51,415
whether I had an Aunt Emma or not,
983
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:54,794
my religion, and if I'd ever owned a dog.
984
01:01:54,878 --> 01:01:57,463
I didn't even know
what my middle initial stood for.
985
01:01:57,547 --> 01:02:00,925
I also pointed out that the real Haskell
had a scar on his forearm.
986
01:02:01,510 --> 01:02:03,302
His people never saw that scar.
987
01:02:03,387 --> 01:02:05,596
He told me he ran away
right after putting out the kid's eye.
988
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,140
Yeah, but his father knew he was cut.
There'd have to be some kind of mark.
989
01:02:08,225 --> 01:02:10,434
So what?
990
01:02:10,519 --> 01:02:14,438
The old man's dead or will be.
I hope by tomorrow morning's papers.
991
01:02:14,523 --> 01:02:18,025
Anyway, you could cut yourself
a little, couldn't ya?
992
01:02:19,027 --> 01:02:22,321
Boy, for that kind of dough,
I'd let you cut my leg off.
993
01:02:22,406 --> 01:02:23,989
You're drunk and you're crazy mad, Vera.
994
01:02:24,074 --> 01:02:26,033
Turn me in if you want to,
but I won't get mixed up in this.
995
01:02:26,118 --> 01:02:28,160
Besides, how do we know?
Haskell was such a phony.
996
01:02:28,245 --> 01:02:30,371
Maybe he wasn't the man's son at all.
Maybe he just dreamed it up.
997
01:02:30,455 --> 01:02:35,918
Well, dreaming or not, you won't be dreaming
when the law taps you on the shoulder.
998
01:02:36,002 --> 01:02:39,588
There's a cute little gas chamber
waiting for you, Roberts.
999
01:02:39,673 --> 01:02:43,134
And I hear extradition to Arizona's a cinch.
1000
01:02:43,218 --> 01:02:45,052
Where's that phone?
1001
01:02:45,137 --> 01:02:46,512
- Vera.
- Leave me alone!
1002
01:02:46,596 --> 01:02:50,057
- Vera!
- I wanna phone, call the police.
1003
01:02:50,767 --> 01:02:54,812
I hate you, you stinker.
You leave me alone!
1004
01:02:54,896 --> 01:02:57,106
I'll let you alone when you promise to leave
the phone where it is.
1005
01:02:57,190 --> 01:02:59,150
- You're drunk. You don't know what you're doing.
- You're hurting me.
1006
01:02:59,234 --> 01:03:00,860
Will you promise?
1007
01:03:00,944 --> 01:03:02,528
All right.
1008
01:03:07,492 --> 01:03:10,327
- You hurt me.
- I'm sorry, but...
1009
01:03:10,412 --> 01:03:13,372
- And it's hot in here! Open up a window!
- It's not hot!
1010
01:03:13,457 --> 01:03:16,125
Don't tell me!
Now do you do it or do I do it?
1011
01:03:18,086 --> 01:03:19,837
You're no gentleman, see?
1012
01:03:19,921 --> 01:03:23,299
Yeah. All right, I'll open up the window.
1013
01:03:26,428 --> 01:03:27,511
Vera!
1014
01:03:31,892 --> 01:03:34,643
Vera, open the door.
Please open the door.
1015
01:03:34,728 --> 01:03:36,854
Vera, open the door.
Don't use the phone. Listen to me.
1016
01:03:37,522 --> 01:03:40,983
I don't like you, Roberts.
You're no gentleman, see?
1017
01:03:41,067 --> 01:03:45,154
You hurt my hand,
and I'm gonna get even with you.
1018
01:03:45,238 --> 01:03:48,407
If you don't open the door,
I'm gonna kick it down, Vera.
1019
01:03:48,492 --> 01:03:51,368
Vera, don't call the cops.
Listen to me, I'll do anything you say.
1020
01:03:52,287 --> 01:03:53,746
Vera, let me in!
1021
01:03:55,207 --> 01:03:56,665
I'll break the phone!
1022
01:04:14,267 --> 01:04:17,269
[grunting]
1023
01:04:22,609 --> 01:04:23,943
Vera.
1024
01:04:34,579 --> 01:04:36,539
[Al narrating] The world is full of skeptics.
1025
01:04:37,290 --> 01:04:39,667
I know. I'm one myself.
1026
01:04:40,669 --> 01:04:43,712
In the Haskell business, how many of you
would believe he fell out of the car?
1027
01:04:43,797 --> 01:04:46,173
And now, after killing Vera
without really meaning to do it,
1028
01:04:46,258 --> 01:04:48,676
how many of you would believe
it wasn't premeditated?
1029
01:04:49,719 --> 01:04:53,264
In a jury room, every last man of you
would go down shouting
1030
01:04:53,348 --> 01:04:56,058
that she had me over a barrel
and my only out was force.
1031
01:04:58,103 --> 01:04:59,728
The room was still.
1032
01:05:00,730 --> 01:05:03,691
So quiet that for a while I'd wondered
if I'd suddenly gone deaf.
1033
01:05:04,484 --> 01:05:06,235
It was pure fear, of course.
1034
01:05:06,319 --> 01:05:08,195
And I was hysterical,
1035
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:09,989
but without making a sound.
1036
01:05:11,324 --> 01:05:14,285
Vera was dead, and I was her murderer.
1037
01:05:15,370 --> 01:05:19,873
Murderer. What an awful word that is.
But I'd become one.
1038
01:05:19,958 --> 01:05:22,042
I'd better not get caught.
1039
01:05:22,127 --> 01:05:24,628
What evidence there was around the place
had to be destroyed.
1040
01:05:24,713 --> 01:05:26,505
And from the looks of things, there was plenty.
1041
01:05:26,590 --> 01:05:28,299
Looking around the room at things we'd bought
1042
01:05:28,383 --> 01:05:30,801
was like looking into the faces of
a hundred people who'd seen us together
1043
01:05:30,885 --> 01:05:32,803
and who remembered me.
1044
01:05:32,887 --> 01:05:35,306
This was the kind of testimony
I couldn't rub out.
1045
01:05:36,808 --> 01:05:38,058
No.
1046
01:05:38,143 --> 01:05:41,312
I could burn clothes and hide bottles
for the next five years.
1047
01:05:41,396 --> 01:05:42,855
There'd always be witnesses.
1048
01:05:42,939 --> 01:05:44,732
The landlady for one.
She could identify me.
1049
01:05:44,816 --> 01:05:46,233
The car dealer, the waitress in the drive-in,
1050
01:05:46,318 --> 01:05:48,819
the girl in the dress shop,
and that guy in the liquor store.
1051
01:05:48,903 --> 01:05:50,696
They could all identify me.
1052
01:05:52,032 --> 01:05:55,868
I was cooked. Done for.
I had to get out of there.
1053
01:05:57,203 --> 01:05:59,330
While once I remained beside a dead body
1054
01:05:59,414 --> 01:06:02,416
planning carefully how to avoid
being accused of killing him,
1055
01:06:02,500 --> 01:06:04,752
this time I couldn't.
1056
01:06:04,836 --> 01:06:06,503
This time I was guilty.
1057
01:06:07,422 --> 01:06:09,923
I knew it. Felt it.
1058
01:06:10,967 --> 01:06:13,218
I was like a guy suffering from shock.
1059
01:06:13,303 --> 01:06:14,970
Things were whirling around in my head.
1060
01:06:15,055 --> 01:06:17,890
I couldn't make myself think right.
1061
01:06:17,974 --> 01:06:21,435
All I could think of was the guy with
the saxophone and what he was playing.
1062
01:06:22,437 --> 01:06:24,021
It wasn't a love song anymore.
1063
01:06:24,814 --> 01:06:26,565
It was a dirge.
1064
01:07:12,028 --> 01:07:14,113
[jukebox: up-tempo band music]
1065
01:07:14,197 --> 01:07:16,615
[Al narrating]
But my problems weren't solved.
1066
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:19,493
I had to stay away from New York
for all time.
1067
01:07:20,328 --> 01:07:23,622
Because Al Roberts was listed as dead
and had to stay dead.
1068
01:07:24,332 --> 01:07:25,999
And I could never go back to Hollywood.
1069
01:07:26,835 --> 01:07:28,794
Someone might recognize me as Haskell.
1070
01:07:30,130 --> 01:07:33,048
- Then, too, there was Sue.
- [music stops]
1071
01:07:34,467 --> 01:07:37,803
I could never go to her with a thing
like this hanging over my head.
1072
01:07:39,180 --> 01:07:42,474
All I could do was pray she'd be happy.
1073
01:07:53,486 --> 01:07:57,656
I was in Bakersfield before I read
that Vera's body was discovered.
1074
01:07:57,741 --> 01:08:01,368
And that the police were looking for Haskell
in connection with his wife's murder.
1075
01:08:02,871 --> 01:08:04,413
Isn't that a laugh?
1076
01:08:05,081 --> 01:08:09,001
Haskell got me into this mess
and Haskell was getting me out of it.
1077
01:08:09,085 --> 01:08:11,170
The police were searching for a dead man.
1078
01:08:14,674 --> 01:08:16,884
I keep trying to forget what happened...
1079
01:08:18,261 --> 01:08:22,973
and wonder what my life might have been
if that car of Haskell's hadn't stopped.
1080
01:08:24,768 --> 01:08:26,935
But one thing I don't have to wonder about.
1081
01:08:28,146 --> 01:08:29,605
I know.
1082
01:08:31,107 --> 01:08:34,234
Someday a car will stop to pick me up
that I never thumbed.
1083
01:08:38,990 --> 01:08:39,865
Yes.
1084
01:08:40,742 --> 01:08:44,411
Fate... or some mysterious force
1085
01:08:44,496 --> 01:08:47,414
can put the finger on you or me
1086
01:08:47,499 --> 01:08:49,500
for no good reason at all.

Al Roberts, an unemployed piano player, hitches a ride, arriving at a roadside diner in Reno, Nevada. Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.
Al recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.
In Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.
Al realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.
Al crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.
In Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.
Back at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.
Al gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of "his wife." Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest.

00:02:41,245 --> 00:02:44,163
Well, here we are.
I turn down here at the next block.
2
00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,874
Thanks, mister. I'll get off there.

00:02:51,088 --> 00:02:53,297
[jukebox: up-tempo band music]
4
00:02:53,382 --> 00:02:56,384
- Want anything else?
- No.
5
00:02:56,468 --> 00:02:57,552
Hey, you.
6
00:03:00,556 --> 00:03:03,266
- Me?
- Yeah, you. Where ya heading?
7
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,686
- East.
- Too bad.
8
00:03:07,563 --> 00:03:10,439
I thought if you was headin' north,
I might be able to help you out.
9
00:03:10,524 --> 00:03:13,276
Pushing to Salt Lake,
and I don't like to ride alone at night.
10
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,028
I'm one of those guys that gotta talk
or I fall asleep.
11
00:03:16,113 --> 00:03:17,738
- Oh.
- So I gotta get my...
12
00:03:17,823 --> 00:03:20,157
My partner,
he's got Lou to keep him company.
13
00:03:20,242 --> 00:03:21,909
But I ain't got nobody at all.
14
00:03:21,994 --> 00:03:24,620
- Where ya comin' from?
- West.
15
00:03:24,705 --> 00:03:27,331
Yeah, sure, I know,
but where? LA?
16
00:03:27,416 --> 00:03:29,792
- Maybe.
- Got a cousin out in LA.
17
00:03:29,877 --> 00:03:31,586
- You don't say?
- Yeah, he's been out...
18
00:03:33,046 --> 00:03:34,505
You're not much of a talker, are ya?
19
00:03:34,590 --> 00:03:36,507
My mother taught me
never to speak to strangers.
20
00:03:36,592 --> 00:03:38,426
- Oh, a wise guy, huh?
- So what?
21
00:03:38,510 --> 00:03:42,430
Okay, okay. Don't get sore.
Just trying to be sociable, that's all.
22
00:03:43,891 --> 00:03:45,308
- Hey, Glamorous.
- [coin clatters]
23
00:03:45,392 --> 00:03:47,018
Give me change for a dime, will ya?
24

- [register rings]
- [coin clatters]
25
00:03:56,778 --> 00:03:58,821
Let's have something quieter this time, Joe.
26
00:03:58,906 --> 00:04:00,907
- My head's splitting.
- Is that what's wrong with it?
27
00:04:00,991 --> 00:04:02,450
[chuckles softly]
28
00:04:04,161 --> 00:04:07,747
- Done with your coffee?
- No. And don't rush me, will ya?
29
00:04:07,831 --> 00:04:11,250
[jukebox: new song plays, up-tempo]
30
00:04:15,172 --> 00:04:17,173
Hey, turn that off.
Will ya turn that thing off?
31
00:04:17,257 --> 00:04:19,050
- What's eating you now?
- Yeah, what's eating you?
32
00:04:19,134 --> 00:04:21,052
- That music. It stinks!
- Oh, you don't like it, huh?
33
00:04:21,136 --> 00:04:23,220
- No, turn it off!
- Now wait a minute, pal.
34
00:04:23,305 --> 00:04:24,972
That was my nickel, see?
35
00:04:25,057 --> 00:04:28,059
This is a free country,
and I play whatever I want to.
36
00:04:29,603 --> 00:04:30,645
Okay.
37
00:04:30,729 --> 00:04:33,022
Sure. And if you don't like,
you don't have to listen to it.
38
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:35,066
And you can leave here anytime you wanna.
39
00:04:35,150 --> 00:04:36,692
Okay, okay. I'm sorry I asked.
40
00:04:36,777 --> 00:04:38,986
First good piece played tonight,
and you don't like it.
41
00:04:39,071 --> 00:04:41,489
Some people just ain't got any good taste.
42
00:04:44,076 --> 00:04:47,161
[music continues]
43
00:04:52,751 --> 00:04:55,962
[thinking] That tune. That tune!
44
00:04:56,046 --> 00:04:58,297
Why was there always that rotten tune?
45
00:04:58,382 --> 00:05:01,175
Following me around, beating in my head,
never letting up.
46
00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:07,181
Did you ever wanna forget anything?
47
00:05:07,599 --> 00:05:10,518
Did you ever wanna cut away
a piece of your memory or blot it out?
48
00:05:10,978 --> 00:05:14,397
You can't, you know?
No matter how hard you try.
49
00:05:14,481 --> 00:05:16,440
You can change the scenery,
50
00:05:16,525 --> 00:05:18,609
but sooner or later
you'll get a whiff of perfume,
51
00:05:18,694 --> 00:05:21,195
or somebody will say a certain phrase
or maybe hum something.
52
00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:23,531
Then you're licked again.
53
00:05:25,575 --> 00:05:27,994
"I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me."
54
00:05:28,078 --> 00:05:29,954
I used to love that song once.
55
00:05:30,038 --> 00:05:33,124
So did the customers back in the old
Break O' Dawn Club in New York.
56
00:05:33,625 --> 00:05:36,711
I can't remember a night when I didn't get
at least three requests for it.
57
00:05:37,504 --> 00:05:40,756
Sue, she was always selling it too.
58
00:05:41,258 --> 00:05:42,550
Those were the days.
59
00:05:42,634 --> 00:05:44,635
[song continues]
60
00:05:48,598 --> 00:05:51,559
[song continues, live combo playing]

00:06:07,701 --> 00:06:11,245
# Your eyes of blue
Your kisses too #
62
00:06:11,329 --> 00:06:14,123
# I never knew what they could do #
63

# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
64
00:06:19,963 --> 00:06:23,132
# You're telling everyone you know #
65
00:06:23,216 --> 00:06:26,343
# That I'm on your mind each place you go #
66
00:06:26,428 --> 00:06:31,223
# They can't believe
That you're in love with me #
67
00:06:32,392 --> 00:06:38,189
# I have always placed you far above me #
68
00:06:38,273 --> 00:06:43,778
# I just can't imagine that you love me #
69
00:06:43,862 --> 00:06:47,073
# And after all is said and done #
70
00:06:47,157 --> 00:06:50,284
# To think that I'm the lucky one #
71
00:06:50,368 --> 00:06:55,748
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
72
00:07:02,631 --> 00:07:04,715
[Al narrating] It wasn't much of a club, really.
73
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,300
You know the kind.
74
00:07:06,384 --> 00:07:08,385
A joint where you could have a sandwich
and a few drinks,
75
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:11,055
and run interference for your girl
on the dance floor.
76
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:15,101
- [playing romantic melody]
- I fronted the piano in there every night
77
00:07:15,185 --> 00:07:17,311
from 8:00 until the place closed up,
78
00:07:17,395 --> 00:07:19,563
which usually meant 4:00 in the morning.
79
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:22,066
A good job as jobs went in those days.
80
00:07:25,487 --> 00:07:28,739
Then, too, there was Sue,
81
00:07:28,824 --> 00:07:31,784
who made working there
a little like working in heaven.
82
00:07:32,244 --> 00:07:36,372
But how we felt about each other, well,
there was nothing very unusual in that.
83
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:39,834
I was an ordinary healthy guy,
and she was an ordinary healthy girl,
84
00:07:39,918 --> 00:07:43,170
and when you add those two together,
you get an ordinary healthy romance,
85
00:07:43,255 --> 00:07:44,672
which is the old story.
86
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:49,426
Sure. But somehow
the most wonderful thing in the world.
87
00:07:49,511 --> 00:07:51,846
[continues playing, rapidly]
88
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:59,436
All in all, I was a pretty lucky guy.
89
00:08:12,450 --> 00:08:15,494
Mr. Patterewsky, I presume?
It's beautiful.
90
00:08:15,579 --> 00:08:17,663
You're going to make Carnegie Hall yet, Al.
91
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:20,332
Yeah. As a janitor.
92
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:22,251
I'll make my debut in the basement.
93
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:26,005
I don't blame you for being bitter,
darling, but you mustn't give up hope.
94
00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:27,798
- Why, some day...
- Yeah, some day,
95
00:08:27,883 --> 00:08:29,633
if I don't get arthritis first.
96
00:08:29,718 --> 00:08:31,385
In the meantime, let's blow this trap.
97
00:08:31,469 --> 00:08:32,845
[piano lid thuds]
98
00:08:48,737 --> 00:08:49,737
[door closes]
99
00:08:51,323 --> 00:08:53,782
- Like to get something to eat, hon?
- Oh, I don't think so, Al.
100
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:56,911
I lose my appetite working in this fleabag.
101
00:08:56,995 --> 00:08:58,954
- Let's go home.
- Okay.
102
00:08:59,831 --> 00:09:02,416
I can't stand much more of that dump.
103
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:05,211
Did you see that drunk tonight
trying to paw me?
104
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:08,547
- No, what drunk?
- Does it matter what drunk?
105
00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:11,800
Say, what's the matter with you tonight, darling?
106
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:14,511
That's the third time you started
to tell me something and then stopped.
107
00:09:15,305 --> 00:09:17,806
We shouldn't have any secrets
from each other, Sue.
108
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:20,267
Next week, we're gonna make with a ring
and a license. We'll be a team.
109
00:09:20,352 --> 00:09:23,395
Yes, that's right. In the bush league.
110
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,190
- I don't get ya.
- We've been struck out.
111
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:29,276
That's a funny way to talk, darling.
112
00:09:29,361 --> 00:09:31,737
- Don't you wanna marry me?
- Al, look, I love you.
113
00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:34,198
You know I do.
And I want to marry you.
114
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:36,742
- But...?
- But not now.
115
00:09:36,826 --> 00:09:39,286
Only after we've made good.
116
00:09:39,371 --> 00:09:40,996
Sunday I'm going away.
117
00:09:41,706 --> 00:09:43,666
Oh, I know you'll think it's silly.
118
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:46,001
That's why I hesitated to tell you.
119
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:47,795
But I'm going to California.
120
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:50,297
I wanna try my luck in Hollywood.
121
00:09:50,548 --> 00:09:52,758
[Al] That's the most
stupid thing I ever heard of.
122
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:56,387
Don't you know millions of people go out there
every year and wind up polishing cuspidors?
123
00:09:56,471 --> 00:09:57,638
I thought you had better sense.
124
00:09:57,722 --> 00:09:59,598
You sound as if you think
I don't have any talent.
125
00:09:59,683 --> 00:10:02,101
- That has nothing to do with it.
- I'll make out all right.
126
00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:03,936
Maybe. But what about me?
127
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:06,563
Doesn't it mean anything to you
that you're busting up all our plans?
128
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:09,817
- We may not see each other for years?
- It won't be that long.
129
00:10:09,901 --> 00:10:12,111
- I thought you loved me.
- I do.
130
00:10:12,195 --> 00:10:13,737
You know I do.
131
00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:18,325
Well, here we are.
132
00:10:20,787 --> 00:10:21,787
Al...
133
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:25,541
Al, why can't you see my side of it?
134
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:28,294
I'm young. We both are. And...
135
00:10:28,378 --> 00:10:31,005
And we've got all the time in the world
to settle down.
136
00:10:31,715 --> 00:10:33,966
[sighs] Really, darling.
137
00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:37,303
What I'm doing is the only sane thing to do.
138
00:10:37,387 --> 00:10:40,889
[sighs] I... I hate the thought
of being so far away from you.
139
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:44,226
But... But we'll be together again some day.
140
00:10:44,311 --> 00:10:47,563
[sighs] Maybe you'll decide
to come out too, later on.
141
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:49,898
- So long.
- Al.
142
00:10:50,734 --> 00:10:53,068
Aren't you gonna kiss me good night?
143
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,237
Sure, why not?
144
00:10:57,741 --> 00:10:58,991
Good night.
145
00:11:05,248 --> 00:11:07,708
[playing romantic melody]
146
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:34,276
[playing jauntily, jazzy]
147

[changing rhythm, slower]
148

[piano playing stops]
151
00:12:40,802 --> 00:12:42,469
- [applause]
- Say, Roberts.
152
00:12:42,554 --> 00:12:45,848
You hit the jackpot this time. Ten bucks.
153
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:47,391
Thanks.
154
00:12:53,481 --> 00:12:56,024
[Al narrating] So when this drunk handed me
a ten-spot after a request,
155
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:57,526
I couldn't get very excited.
156
00:12:57,777 --> 00:13:01,363
What was it, I asked myself?
A piece of paper crawling with germs.
157
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:03,866
Couldn't buy anything I wanted.
158
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:05,242
It couldn't...
159
00:13:08,246 --> 00:13:09,705
Then I thought of something.
160
00:13:33,104 --> 00:13:34,313
Long distance.
161
00:13:34,397 --> 00:13:36,857
I'd like to put a call through to Los Angeles.
162
00:13:36,941 --> 00:13:39,193
Miss Harvey. Sue Harvey.
163
00:13:39,277 --> 00:13:41,069
H-A-R-V-E-Y.
164
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:44,615
The number is CRestview 65723.
165
00:14:04,594 --> 00:14:06,386
- 4.50.
- [coin clatters]
166
00:14:06,471 --> 00:14:08,347
- 4.75.
- [coin clatters]
167
00:14:08,431 --> 00:14:09,431
5.00.
168
00:14:12,477 --> 00:14:15,020
Hello, Sue? This is Al.
169
00:14:15,104 --> 00:14:17,356
Oh, baby, it's great to hear from you too.
170
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,651
What's that? You do?
Oh, me too, darling.
171
00:14:20,735 --> 00:14:23,362
I thought I'd go batty without you.
I just had to...
172
00:14:23,446 --> 00:14:24,446
Huh?
173
00:14:25,406 --> 00:14:27,449
You're workin' as a hash slinger?
174
00:14:27,534 --> 00:14:28,867
Gee, honey, that's tough.
175
00:14:28,952 --> 00:14:32,371
Those guys out in Hollywood don't know
the real thing when it's right in front of them.
176
00:14:32,455 --> 00:14:34,164
You just stick it out, Sue, baby.
177
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:37,417
Keep goin' around to those casting offices.
I'm sure you'll click.
178
00:14:38,002 --> 00:14:40,629
Look, I'll tell you what.
You stay put out there. I'll come to you.
179
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:43,632
No, don't try to stop me. Just expect me.
180
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:46,760
Train? Who knows?
Train, plane, bus, magic carpet.
181
00:14:46,844 --> 00:14:50,430
I'll be there if I have to crawl.
If I have to travel by pogo stick.
182
00:14:50,515 --> 00:14:53,809
And then... let's get married right away.
183
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:59,439
That's the stuff. That's what
I've been wanting to hear you say.
184
00:15:00,525 --> 00:15:03,110
Well, good-bye for now.
185
00:15:04,362 --> 00:15:06,905
I'll be seeing you soon. [kisses]
186
00:15:07,282 --> 00:15:10,492
Yeah. [kisses] Bye.
187
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:18,500
[Al narrating] The only way I could
cross country was to thumb rides,
188
00:15:18,585 --> 00:15:21,587
for even after hocking everything,
I only had enough money to eat.
189
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:24,923
Money. You know what that is.
190
00:15:25,717 --> 00:15:27,551
It's the stuff you never have enough of.
191
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:29,720
Little green things
with George Washington's picture
192
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:33,432
that men slave for,
commit crimes for, die for.
193
00:15:34,183 --> 00:15:36,226
It's the stuff that has caused
more trouble in the world
194
00:15:36,311 --> 00:15:38,186
than anything else we ever invented,
195
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:41,273
simply because there's too little of it.
196
00:15:41,357 --> 00:15:43,442
At least I had too little of it.
197
00:15:43,526 --> 00:15:45,319
So it was me for the thumb.
198
00:16:01,753 --> 00:16:03,170
Ever done any hitchhiking?
199
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:05,881
It's not much fun, believe me.
200
00:16:06,549 --> 00:16:08,842
Oh, yeah,
I know all about how it's an education,
201
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:11,595
and how you get to meet a lot of people,
and all that.
202
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:15,849
But me, from now on
I'll take my education in college,
203
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:20,187
or in P.S. 62, or I'll send $1.98
in stamps for ten easy lessons.
204
00:16:29,447 --> 00:16:33,367
Thumbing rides may save you bus fare,
but it's dangerous.
205
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:37,954
You never know what's in store for you
when you hear the squeal of brakes.
206
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,001
If only I had known what I was getting into
that day in Arizona.
207
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:46,546
Here, throw that in the back seat.
208
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:51,301
Okay, let's go.
Make sure that door's closed.
209
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:53,553
- [door closes]
- [lock clacks]
210
00:17:05,483 --> 00:17:09,319
You know, Emily Post ought to write
a book of rules for guys thumbing rides.
211
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:13,031
Because as it is now you never know
what's right and what's wrong.
212
00:17:13,783 --> 00:17:17,285
We rode along for a little while,
neither one of us saying anything.
213
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:19,538
I was glad of that.
214
00:17:19,622 --> 00:17:22,457
I never know what to say
to strange people driving cars.
215
00:17:23,418 --> 00:17:26,545
And too, you can never tell
if a guy wants to talk.
216
00:17:26,629 --> 00:17:29,631
A lot of rides have been cut short
because of a big mouth.
217
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:34,845
So I kept my mouth shut
until he started opening up.
218
00:17:35,596 --> 00:17:38,473
Hand me that little box
in the compartment, will ya, pal?
219
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:42,936
Hold the wheel, will ya?
220
00:17:44,397 --> 00:17:45,397
[pills rattling]
221
00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:53,029
[glove box closes]
222
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:56,450
- How far are ya going?
- LA.
223
00:17:56,534 --> 00:17:58,577
Well, you're really traveling aren't ya?
224
00:17:58,661 --> 00:18:00,704
Yeah, but I don't expect to make it
for a couple years
225
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:02,372
at the rate I've been promoting rides.
226
00:18:02,457 --> 00:18:03,582
Not much luck, huh?
227
00:18:03,666 --> 00:18:05,459
Sure. All bad.
228
00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:07,753
Not many people stop for a guy these days.
229
00:18:07,837 --> 00:18:09,296
Afraid of a stickup maybe.
230
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:10,505
Ah, you can't blame 'em.
231
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:13,675
- Where ya comin' from?
- New York.
232
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,137
Well, New York. You're in luck this time.
233
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:19,139
I'm goin' all the way.
234
00:18:19,223 --> 00:18:20,807
Right through to Los Angeles.
235
00:18:22,018 --> 00:18:24,102
- You drive a car?
- Sure.
236
00:18:24,187 --> 00:18:26,897
- Whenever you're tired, let me know.
- I'll holler.
237
00:18:28,691 --> 00:18:30,776
I guess at least an hour passed
before I noticed
238
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:32,778
those deep scratches in his right hand.
239
00:18:33,237 --> 00:18:34,696
They were wicked.
240
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:37,532
Three puffy red lines
about a quarter of an inch apart.
241
00:18:38,576 --> 00:18:40,869
He must have seen me looking at them
because he said...
242
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:43,288
Beauties, aren't they?
243
00:18:44,081 --> 00:18:45,957
They're gonna be scars someday.
244
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:49,002
What an animal.
245
00:18:49,086 --> 00:18:51,880
Whatever it was, it must have been
pretty big and vicious to have done that.
246
00:18:52,381 --> 00:18:54,424
Right on both counts, New York.
247
00:18:54,509 --> 00:18:57,636
I was tussling with the most
dangerous animal in the world...
248
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,804
a woman.
249
00:18:59,388 --> 00:19:01,014
She must have been Tarzan's mate.
250
00:19:01,098 --> 00:19:02,766
Looks like you lost the bout.
251
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:04,559
Certainly wasn't a draw.
252
00:19:05,394 --> 00:19:08,313
You know, there ought to be a law
against dames with claws.
253
00:19:08,397 --> 00:19:09,314
Yeah.
254
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:11,483
I tossed her out of the car on her ear.
255
00:19:12,318 --> 00:19:16,655
Was I wrong? Give a lift to a tomato,
you expect her to be nice, don't ya?
256
00:19:16,739 --> 00:19:17,656
Yeah.
257
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:20,242
After all, what kind of dames thumb rides?
258
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:22,577
- Sunday school teachers?
- Yeah.
259
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:25,747
The little witch.
260
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:28,458
She must've thought she was riding
with some fall guy.
261
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:32,337
And me who's been booking horses
around racetracks since I was 20.
262
00:19:33,047 --> 00:19:34,923
[scoffs] I've known a million dames like her.
263
00:19:35,383 --> 00:19:37,217
- Two million.
- Yeah.
264
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:42,138
Stopped the car, opened the door...
265
00:19:42,223 --> 00:19:44,641
"Take it on the Arthur Duffy, sister,"
I told her.
266
00:19:44,725 --> 00:19:48,103
- That's the stuff.
- As I was down on her. [laughs]
267
00:19:48,479 --> 00:19:52,148
But if you wanna see a real scar, brother,
get a load of this.
268
00:19:53,442 --> 00:19:55,026
Wow.
269
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:57,904
- I got that one dueling.
- Dueling?
270
00:19:58,406 --> 00:19:59,865
Yeah. We were just kidding, of course.
271
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:02,450
My dad owned a couple of
Franco-Prussian sabers.
272
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:04,244
Kept 'em on the wall for decorations.
273
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:09,749
One day, another kid and I took 'em down
when the old man wasn't around. Had a duel.
274
00:20:09,834 --> 00:20:11,376
[chuckles]
275
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:13,587
He hit me in the arm, here.
276
00:20:13,671 --> 00:20:15,338
Pretty mean cut.
277
00:20:15,423 --> 00:20:16,965
Infection set in later.
278
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:18,842
Yeah, I can see that.
279
00:20:19,093 --> 00:20:21,428
- Oh, gimme that box again, will ya?
- Yeah.
280
00:20:24,765 --> 00:20:26,099
[pills rattling]
281
00:20:31,355 --> 00:20:32,397
[glove box closes]
282
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:35,525
Pain made me lose my head, I guess.
283
00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:37,694
I began slashing.
284
00:20:37,778 --> 00:20:40,488
Before I knew it,
I put the other kid's eye out.
285
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:43,950
- That was tough.
- Well, it was just an accident, of course.
286
00:20:44,035 --> 00:20:48,413
But you know how kids are. I got scared...
decided I was gonna run away from home.
287
00:20:48,915 --> 00:20:51,958
Old man almost clocked me
when I was packin' my duds.
288
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:56,296
If the bloody rag I had wrapped around my wrist
hadn't caught his attention,
289
00:20:56,380 --> 00:20:58,048
he'd have seen the bundle for sure.
290
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:01,551
But I beat it when he was phoning for a doctor.
291
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:06,598
That was 15, 16 years ago.
I haven't been home since.
292
00:21:10,561 --> 00:21:12,729
Pull in there for a bite of something, huh?
293
00:21:12,813 --> 00:21:14,481
[Al narrating] A bite of something.
294
00:21:14,565 --> 00:21:16,066
Brother, was I hungry.
295
00:21:16,150 --> 00:21:18,401
I hadn't had anything in my stomach for hours.
296
00:21:19,362 --> 00:21:21,404
Yet even with that gnawing
in the pit of my belly,
297
00:21:21,489 --> 00:21:24,324
I didn't want to be in too big a rush
to put on the feed bag.
298
00:21:25,076 --> 00:21:27,827
First, I had to make sure
this guy knew the score.
299
00:21:27,912 --> 00:21:31,247
If I got him down on me,
it was good-bye ticket to Hollywood.
300
00:21:32,083 --> 00:21:33,708
I'll wait out here for you, mister.
301
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:36,753
If it's the money, don't worry about
paying for it. This time it's on me.
302
00:21:36,837 --> 00:21:39,255
- Well, that's white of you, Mr...
- Haskell. Think nothing of it.
303
00:21:39,340 --> 00:21:42,717
You make your first million, maybe you can
do the same for me. Come on, New York.
304
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:44,594
I gotta make the West Coast by Wednesday.
305
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:47,263
There's a horse running at
Santa Anita named Paradisiacal.
306
00:21:47,348 --> 00:21:49,933
- Means dough to me if I'm running.
- We'll make it all right.
307
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:54,688
[Al narrating] He did most of the talking
during the half hour we were in the place.
308
00:21:54,772 --> 00:21:55,772
I ate.
309
00:21:56,857 --> 00:22:01,027
He rambled on about his old man, who he hadn't
heard from since he ran away as a kid,
310
00:22:01,112 --> 00:22:02,946
and how he happened to become a bookie,
311
00:22:03,030 --> 00:22:05,740
and then all about how he got rooked in Miami.
312
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:08,660
One race, 38 grand.
They cleaned out my book.
313
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:11,079
- How do you like that?
- That was tough luck.
314
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:13,164
Yeah, and I'm supposed to be the smart guy.
315
00:22:13,249 --> 00:22:16,543
You just wait. I'm going back to Florida
next season with all kinds of jack.
316
00:22:16,627 --> 00:22:18,586
And you watch those stinkers run for cover.
317
00:22:19,547 --> 00:22:21,965
- Want anything else?
- No, thanks, I've had plenty.
318
00:22:27,638 --> 00:22:29,556
- The check there, sister?
- Mm-hmm.
319
00:22:32,601 --> 00:22:34,519
Oh, just a minute. Your change, sir.
320
00:22:34,603 --> 00:22:37,272
- Keep it, sister.
- Oh, thank you, sir. Call again.
321
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,190
I'll be waitin' outside for you
when you finish work.
322
00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:40,400
[chuckles]
323
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:41,776
Sharp chick, huh?
324
00:22:49,952 --> 00:22:52,912
[Al narrating] I drove all that night
while Haskell slept like a log.
325
00:22:53,581 --> 00:22:56,416
After a while, I began to get sleepy myself.
326
00:22:57,835 --> 00:23:01,671
I was happy though.
Soon I'd be with Sue again.
327
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:03,214
The long trip was practically over,
328
00:23:03,299 --> 00:23:06,009
and there'd be no more hoofing it
down the concrete.
329
00:23:06,761 --> 00:23:08,928
I began to think of the future,
330
00:23:09,013 --> 00:23:12,098
which couldn't have been brighter
if I'd embroidered it with neon lights.
331
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,226
It was nice to think of Sue shooting to the top.
332
00:23:16,437 --> 00:23:20,356
[chuckles] It's amazing what a full belly
can do to your imagination.
333
00:23:20,566 --> 00:23:23,276
[romantic ballad]
334
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:28,156
# Your eyes are blue
Your kisses too #
335
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,577
# I never knew what they could do #
336
00:23:32,661 --> 00:23:39,667
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
337
00:23:41,045 --> 00:23:45,632
# You're telling everyone you know #
338
00:23:45,716 --> 00:23:50,095
# I'm on your mind each place you go #
339
00:23:50,179 --> 00:23:56,017
# I can't believe that you're in love #
340
00:23:56,352 --> 00:24:02,690
# With me #
341
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:12,951
Mr. Haskell.
342
00:24:14,703 --> 00:24:15,703
Mr. Haskell?
343
00:24:18,833 --> 00:24:20,875
Mr. Haskell, wake up! It's raining.
344
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,002
Don't you think we ought to stop
and put up the top?
345
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:33,263
Mr. Haskell, I'm gonna put up the top.
346
00:24:48,154 --> 00:24:50,029
[Al narrating] Until then,
I'd done things my way.
347
00:24:50,531 --> 00:24:52,699
But from then on, something else
stepped in and shunted me off
348
00:24:52,783 --> 00:24:55,535
to a different destination
than the one I had picked for myself.
349
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:58,329
For when I pulled open that door...
350
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:05,170
Mr. Haskell, what's the matter?
Are you hurt?
351
00:25:06,255 --> 00:25:07,547
Are you hurt, Mr. Haskell?
352
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:11,467
[Al narrating]
Start your sermon. I'll listen to it.
353
00:25:12,219 --> 00:25:15,013
But I know what you're gonna hand me
even before you open your mouths.
354
00:25:15,598 --> 00:25:18,016
You're gonna tell me you don't believe
my story of how Haskell died
355
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:21,352
and give me that "don't make me laugh"
expression on your smug faces.
356
00:25:24,815 --> 00:25:26,357
I saw at once he was dead.
357
00:25:26,692 --> 00:25:28,193
And I was in for it.
358
00:25:28,277 --> 00:25:30,111
Who would believe he fell out of the car?
359
00:25:30,196 --> 00:25:31,738
If Haskell came to, which,
of course, he couldn't,
360
00:25:31,822 --> 00:25:34,240
even he would swear
I conked him over the head for his dough.
361
00:25:34,325 --> 00:25:35,491
Yes, I was in for it.
362
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:39,829
Instinct told me to run,
but then I realized it was hopeless.
363
00:25:39,914 --> 00:25:41,998
There were lots of people back down the road
who could identify me.
364
00:25:42,082 --> 00:25:44,000
That gas station guy and the waitress.
365
00:25:44,084 --> 00:25:46,419
I would be in a worse spot then
trying to explain why I beat it.
366
00:25:47,504 --> 00:25:50,381
The next possibility was to sit tight
and tell the truth when the cops came.
367
00:25:50,466 --> 00:25:53,176
But that would be crazy.
They'd laugh at the truth.
368
00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:54,552
And I'd have my head in a noose.
369
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:59,807
So what else was there to do
but hide the body and get away in the car?
370
00:25:59,892 --> 00:26:02,101
I couldn't leave the car there
with him in the gully.
371
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:03,937
That would be like erecting a tombstone.
372
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:35,385
My idea was to cover him with brush,
not to rob him.
373
00:26:35,636 --> 00:26:38,304
But then I remembered that even if
I only drove the car for 100 miles or so,
374
00:26:38,389 --> 00:26:39,722
I would need money for gas.
375
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:44,060
Besides, it was stupid of me
to leave all that money on a dead man.
376
00:26:45,145 --> 00:26:47,188
Not only that,
I'd have to take his driver's license
377
00:26:47,273 --> 00:26:48,690
in case I was stopped for something.
378
00:26:50,901 --> 00:26:52,235
I didn't like to think about it,
379
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,821
but by that time I'd done
just what the police would say I did.
380
00:26:54,905 --> 00:26:57,740
Even if I didn't... My clothes.
381
00:26:58,367 --> 00:27:00,618
The owner of such an expensive car
would never be wearing them.
382
00:27:01,662 --> 00:27:03,246
Some cop might pull me in on suspicion.
383
00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,802
[motorcycle approaches]
384
00:27:28,939 --> 00:27:30,231
Hey, you. This your car?
385
00:27:30,941 --> 00:27:33,943
Don't you know better than to leave a car
with the wheels halfway in the middle of the road?
386
00:27:34,028 --> 00:27:35,403
That's the way accidents happen.
387
00:27:35,612 --> 00:27:38,614
I... I'm sorry, Officer.
I was just putting up my top.
388
00:27:38,699 --> 00:27:41,367
- I didn't think.
- Well, the next time, think.
389
00:27:41,452 --> 00:27:43,911
I'll let you go now,
but watch your step in the future.
390
00:27:43,996 --> 00:27:46,414
I know that it's a lonely stretch,
but cars come by here once in a while.
391
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:49,334
- We have plenty of crack-ups.
- Thanks, Officer.
392
00:28:13,067 --> 00:28:15,777
[Al narrating] I left nothing in the car
that'd give me away as Roberts.
393
00:28:15,861 --> 00:28:18,529
If they found a dead man in the gully now,
it could be me.
394
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:28,122
As I drove off, it was still raining.
395
00:28:29,083 --> 00:28:31,876
The drops streaked
down the windshield like tears.
396
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:36,381
I kept imagining I was being followed,
397
00:28:36,465 --> 00:28:38,341
that I could hear sirens
back in the distance.
398
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,471
Just how long it took to cover the 60-odd
miles to the California state line,
399
00:28:43,555 --> 00:28:44,555
I don't know.
400
00:28:45,057 --> 00:28:46,641
I lost all track of time.
401
00:28:47,351 --> 00:28:51,270
But the rain had stopped and the sun was up
when I pulled up to the inspection station.
402
00:28:55,859 --> 00:28:56,692
Hello.
403
00:28:57,653 --> 00:28:59,946

- No.

- Any livestock or poultry?
- No.

and driver's license, please.

- Just baggage.

00:29:20,884 --> 00:29:23,094
- Are you Charles Haskell Jr.?
- Yes.
411
00:29:23,178 --> 00:29:25,263
Well, remember, if you're employed,
and you stay over 30 days,
412
00:29:25,347 --> 00:29:27,223
you take out California plates.
413
00:29:27,307 --> 00:29:29,517
All right, Officer, but I'll only be
in the state a short while.
414
00:29:31,186 --> 00:29:32,270
Right. You can go now.
415
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:42,113
[Al narrating] I couldn't drive any farther
without some sleep.

00:29:42,197 --> 00:29:45,783
Cops or no cops, I knew
I had to hit the hay and hit it hard.
417
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,203
I was dead tired.

427
00:30:59,358 --> 00:31:00,233
Who's there?
428
00:31:00,317 --> 00:31:02,610
It's the maid. Can I come in and clean?
429
00:31:03,820 --> 00:31:06,322
Later... in a half-hour.
430
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:07,490
All right, sir.
431
00:31:32,057 --> 00:31:33,599
[Al narrating] There was no time to lose.
432
00:31:33,684 --> 00:31:36,227
Every minute I had to be Charles Haskell
was dangerous.
433
00:31:36,311 --> 00:31:38,521
I'd have to be Charles Haskell
until I got to some city
434
00:31:38,605 --> 00:31:40,648
where I could leave the car
and be swallowed up.
435
00:31:46,238 --> 00:31:48,864
That meant driving the car
as far as San Bernardino,
436
00:31:48,949 --> 00:31:50,491
maybe even to Los Angeles.
437
00:31:50,576 --> 00:31:52,451
In a little town, I might be noticed.
438
00:31:52,536 --> 00:31:54,328
But in a city, I should be safe enough.
439
00:31:55,581 --> 00:31:58,666
Then, after I ditched the car,
I could go on to Sue.
440
00:31:59,585 --> 00:32:02,545
But those five minutes at the state line
made me realize
441
00:32:02,629 --> 00:32:05,631
it might be a good idea to find out
a little bit about Mr. Haskell.
442
00:32:06,633 --> 00:32:09,302
Then if anybody asked me questions,
I could give the right answers.
443
00:32:10,345 --> 00:32:13,806
The first thing I found out
was that I had $768.
444
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:17,768
This was a lot of jack, but believe me,
445
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:19,895
it was the kind of money
I'd rather not have.
446
00:32:27,446 --> 00:32:31,115
And then I found out from a letter
Haskell was carting around in his bag
447
00:32:31,199 --> 00:32:33,784
that he wasn't the openhanded,
easygoing big shot
448
00:32:33,869 --> 00:32:36,412
who went around buying dinners
for strange hitchhikers.
449
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:39,832
Before I got done reading it,
I saw him more as a chiseler.
450
00:32:41,209 --> 00:32:43,836
It was written
to his old man in California,
451
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,796
the one he hadn't seen in so many years.
452
00:32:46,590 --> 00:32:51,385
In it, Haskell posed as a salesman...
of hymnals, of all things.
453
00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:54,388
It was easy to see where Haskell expected
454
00:32:54,473 --> 00:32:56,849
to raise a new stake
for his book in Miami...
455
00:32:57,684 --> 00:32:59,143
by rooking his old man.
456
00:33:00,771 --> 00:33:03,689
That was about all I found out
from his effects.
457
00:33:03,774 --> 00:33:04,857
And it was enough.
458
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:09,737
I told myself maybe old man Haskell
was lucky his son kicked off.
459
00:33:10,864 --> 00:33:12,531
He would never know it,
460
00:33:12,616 --> 00:33:16,077
but it saved him from taking a flier
in sacred literature preferred.

462

Near the airport at Desert Center,
I pulled up for water.

00:33:45,607 --> 00:33:46,691
There was a woman.

00:34:41,747 --> 00:34:43,122
How far are you going?
468
00:34:43,749 --> 00:34:46,792
[Al narrating] That took me by surprise.
I turned my head to look her over.
469
00:34:47,836 --> 00:34:50,588
She was facing straight ahead,
so I couldn't see her eyes.
470
00:34:51,006 --> 00:34:53,758
But she was young, not more than 24.
471
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:56,844
Man, she looked as if
she'd just been thrown off
472
00:34:56,928 --> 00:34:59,305
the crummiest freight train in the world.
473
00:35:00,140 --> 00:35:02,641
Yet, in spite of this,
I got the impression of beauty.
474
00:35:03,727 --> 00:35:06,020
Not the beauty of a movie actress,
mind you,
475
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,689
or the beauty you dream about
when you're with your wife,
476
00:35:08,774 --> 00:35:10,065
but a natural beauty,
477
00:35:10,567 --> 00:35:13,194
a beauty that's almost homely
because it's so real.
478
00:35:15,363 --> 00:35:17,114
Then, suddenly, she turned to face me.
479
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:20,409
- How far did you say you were going?
- Los Angeles.
480
00:35:20,494 --> 00:35:21,410
LA?
481
00:35:22,287 --> 00:35:25,790
- LA's good enough for me, mister.
- That's what I was afraid of.
482
00:35:25,874 --> 00:35:29,084
- What'd you say?
- Oh, nothing. Just thinking out loud.
483
00:35:29,169 --> 00:35:31,128
People get in trouble for doing that.
484
00:35:32,005 --> 00:35:34,715
- What's your name?
- You can call me Vera, if you like.
485
00:35:35,509 --> 00:35:37,176
- You live in Los Angeles?
- No.

00:35:39,054 --> 00:35:41,555
- Where you coming from?
- Oh, back there.
487
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,098
- Needles?
- No.
488
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:47,102
Oh, sure. Phoenix.
You look just like a Phoenix girl.
489
00:35:47,687 --> 00:35:49,855
- Are the girls in Phoenix that bad?
- [chuckles]
490
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:51,774
[Al narrating]
The girl must have been pretty tired
491
00:35:51,858 --> 00:35:54,944
because she fell asleep not 20 minutes
after she stepped into the car.
492
00:35:55,737 --> 00:35:59,782
She lay sprawled out with her head resting
against the far door, like Haskell.
493
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:03,452
I didn't like that part of it much,
but I didn't wake her up.
494
00:36:04,955 --> 00:36:06,872
It wasn't that this girl still worried me.
495
00:36:07,374 --> 00:36:10,376
I'd gotten over that funny feeling
I had when she looked at me,
496
00:36:10,460 --> 00:36:13,003
which I put down
as just my jangled nerves.
497
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:16,590
With her eyes closed
and the tenseness gone out of her,
498
00:36:16,675 --> 00:36:18,133
she seemed harmless enough.
499
00:36:18,885 --> 00:36:21,929
Instead of disliking her,
I began to feel sorry for her.
500
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:25,182
The poor kid probably
had had a rough time of it.
501
00:36:26,476 --> 00:36:27,977
Who was she, anyway?
502
00:36:28,061 --> 00:36:30,479
And why was she going to Los Angeles?
503
00:36:30,564 --> 00:36:32,898
And where'd she come from
in the first place?
504
00:36:32,983 --> 00:36:34,775
The only thing I knew about her
was her name.
505
00:36:35,777 --> 00:36:37,361
Not that it made any difference.
506
00:36:37,445 --> 00:36:39,738
A few hours more and we'd be in Hollywood.
507
00:36:39,823 --> 00:36:42,241
I'd forget where I parked the car
and look up Sue.
508
00:36:43,118 --> 00:36:45,286
This nightmare of being a dead man
would be over.
509
00:36:46,121 --> 00:36:48,831
Who this dame was, well,
it was no business of mine.
510
00:36:48,915 --> 00:36:52,918
Where did you leave his body?
Where did you leave the owner of this car?
511
00:36:53,003 --> 00:36:54,712
You're not fooling anyone.
512
00:36:55,297 --> 00:36:58,173
This buggy belongs to a guy named Haskell.
That's not you, mister.
513
00:36:58,258 --> 00:37:01,343
You're out of your mind. That's my name.
Charles Haskell. I can prove it.
514
00:37:01,428 --> 00:37:03,512
- Here's my driver's license.
- Save yourself the trouble, mister.
515
00:37:03,597 --> 00:37:05,848
Having Haskell's wallet
only makes it worse.
516
00:37:05,932 --> 00:37:08,017
It just so happens
I rode with Charlie Haskell
517
00:37:08,101 --> 00:37:09,685
all the way from Louisiana.
518
00:37:09,769 --> 00:37:11,854
He picked me up outside of Shreveport.
519
00:37:11,938 --> 00:37:13,564
- You rode...
- You heard me.
520
00:37:14,149 --> 00:37:15,983
[Al narrating] Then it all came back to me.
521
00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:18,652
All the talk about dueling
and scars and scratches.
522
00:37:19,613 --> 00:37:21,363
There was no doubt about it.
523
00:37:21,448 --> 00:37:23,949
Vera must be the woman
Haskell had mentioned.
524
00:37:24,034 --> 00:37:25,784
She must have passed me while I slept.
525
00:37:25,869 --> 00:37:28,871
Well? Well, I'm waiting.
526
00:37:28,955 --> 00:37:30,331
My goose was cooked.
527
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:32,082
She had me.
528
00:37:32,876 --> 00:37:34,668
That Haskell guy wasn't dead yet.
529
00:37:35,253 --> 00:37:38,172
He wasn't stretched out stiff and cold
in any Arizona gully.
530
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:41,425
He was sitting right there in the car,
laughing like mad while he haunted me.
531
00:37:43,345 --> 00:37:44,303
Well?
532
00:37:44,387 --> 00:37:47,514
There was nothing I could say.
It was her move.
533
00:37:48,224 --> 00:37:50,142
Vera, whatever her name was.
534
00:37:50,226 --> 00:37:52,478
It was just my luck
picking her up on the road.
535
00:37:53,313 --> 00:37:56,148
It couldn't have been Helen
or Mary or Evelyn or Ruth.
536
00:37:57,025 --> 00:37:59,526
It had to be the very last person
I should ever have met.
537
00:38:00,820 --> 00:38:01,820
That's life.
538
00:38:02,697 --> 00:38:05,491
Whichever way you turn,
fate sticks out a foot to trip you.
539
00:38:11,081 --> 00:38:13,457
I told her everything,
but she didn't believe my story.
540
00:38:13,541 --> 00:38:15,167
I should've saved my breath.
541
00:38:15,251 --> 00:38:17,670
That's the greatest cock-and-bull story
I ever heard.
542
00:38:17,754 --> 00:38:19,380
So he fell out of his car.
543
00:38:19,464 --> 00:38:21,507
Say, who do you think
you're talking to, a hick?
544
00:38:21,591 --> 00:38:23,592
Listen, mister. I've been around.
545
00:38:23,677 --> 00:38:27,054
And I know a wrong guy when I see one.
What'd you do, kiss him with a wrench?
546
00:38:27,138 --> 00:38:29,264
Now wait a minute.
What I told you was true.
547
00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:30,891
You see, that's why I had to do it.
548
00:38:30,976 --> 00:38:33,352
You think I killed him.
Well, the cops would've thought so too.
549
00:38:33,436 --> 00:38:35,187
Yeah, well maybe they still think so.
550
00:38:36,106 --> 00:38:38,482
What makes you so sure
I'll shut up about this?
551
00:38:38,566 --> 00:38:41,318
Vera, I'm innocent.
Give me a break, will you?
552
00:38:42,696 --> 00:38:44,488
It won't do me any good
having you pinched.
553
00:38:44,572 --> 00:38:46,115
The cops are no friends of mine.
554
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:49,076
Now, if there was a reward...
But there isn't.
555
00:38:49,703 --> 00:38:51,912
- Thanks.
- Don't thank me yet.
556
00:38:51,997 --> 00:38:55,332
I'm not through with you by a long shot.
Let's see that roll.
557
00:39:02,090 --> 00:39:03,674
Is that all Haskell had?
558
00:39:03,758 --> 00:39:05,509
- Isn't it enough?
- No, I thought he had more.
559
00:39:05,593 --> 00:39:07,845
Not that I know of. You can search me
if you think I'm holding out on you.
560
00:39:07,929 --> 00:39:09,596
Well, maybe I will at that.
561
00:39:09,681 --> 00:39:11,807
He told me he was gonna bet $3,000
562
00:39:11,891 --> 00:39:14,560
on a horse named Paradisiacal
on Wednesday at Santa Anita.
563
00:39:14,644 --> 00:39:16,979
- He was stringing you along. He meant 300.
- Maybe.
564
00:39:17,063 --> 00:39:20,357
Sure. Three bucks, 300.
He was a piece of cheese, a big blowhard.
565
00:39:20,442 --> 00:39:23,277
Listen, mister. Don't try and tell me
anything about Charlie Haskell.
566
00:39:23,361 --> 00:39:25,279
Remember, I knew him better than you did.
567
00:39:25,363 --> 00:39:28,073
Okay, then you knew he was a four-flusher.
That explains the three-grand bet.
568
00:39:28,158 --> 00:39:30,576
I'm not so sure
he didn't have that three grand.
569
00:39:30,660 --> 00:39:34,121
Why should I believe you?
You got all the earmarks of a cheap crook.
570
00:39:34,205 --> 00:39:35,622
- Now, wait a minute.
- Shut up.
571
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:37,207
You're a cheap crook and you killed him.
572
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:39,418
For two cents,
I'd change my mind and turn you in.
573
00:39:39,502 --> 00:39:40,794
I don't like you!
574
00:39:40,879 --> 00:39:43,338
- All right, all right. Don't get sore.
- I'm not getting sore.
575
00:39:43,423 --> 00:39:45,507
But just remember who's boss around here.
576
00:39:45,592 --> 00:39:47,134
If you shut up
and don't give me any arguments,
577
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:48,677
you'll have nothing to worry about.
578
00:39:48,762 --> 00:39:50,512
But if you act wise, well, mister,
579
00:39:50,597 --> 00:39:53,182
you'll pop into jail so fast
it'll give you the bends.
580
00:39:53,266 --> 00:39:55,059
- I'm not arguing.
- Well, see that you don't.
581
00:39:55,143 --> 00:39:56,477
You know, as crooked as you look,
582
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:59,605
I'd hate to see a fella as young as you
wind up sniffing that perfume
583
00:39:59,689 --> 00:40:01,482
that Arizona hands out free to murderers.
584
00:40:01,566 --> 00:40:03,233
- I'm not a murderer.
- Of course you're not.
585
00:40:03,318 --> 00:40:04,693
Haskell knocked his own head off.
586
00:40:04,778 --> 00:40:06,278
He fell. That's how it happened,
just like I told you.
587
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:08,530
Sure, and then he made you a present
of his belongings.
588
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:10,324
- I explained why...
- Oh, skip it.
589
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:13,118
Doesn't make a difference one way
or another. I'm not a mourner.
590
00:40:13,203 --> 00:40:15,412
I liked Haskell even less than I like you.
591
00:40:15,955 --> 00:40:17,372
Yeah, I saw what you did to him.
592
00:40:17,457 --> 00:40:19,541
- What do you mean?
- Those scratches on his wrists.
593
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:20,959
Sure, I scratched him.
594
00:40:21,961 --> 00:40:23,128
I'll say you did.
595
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:26,673
So your idea was
to drive the car a little way,
596
00:40:26,758 --> 00:40:28,967
maybe into San Bernardino,
and then leave it.
597
00:40:29,052 --> 00:40:30,385
You weren't gonna sell it?
598
00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:33,597
Sell it? You think I'm crazy?
Somebody else's car?
599
00:40:33,681 --> 00:40:36,266
All I wanna do is leave it somewhere
and forget I ever saw it.
600
00:40:36,351 --> 00:40:39,269
Not only don't you have any scruples,
you don't have any brains.
601
00:40:39,354 --> 00:40:42,022
- I don't get you.
- Maybe it's a good thing you met me.
602
00:40:42,107 --> 00:40:44,983
You would of got yourself caught, sure.
Why, you dope.
603
00:40:45,068 --> 00:40:48,362
Don't you know a deserted automobile
always rates an investigation?
604
00:40:48,696 --> 00:40:49,863
Huh?
605
00:40:49,948 --> 00:40:52,783
Look. The cops find a car.
Then they get curious.
606
00:40:52,867 --> 00:40:54,493
They wonder where the owner is.
607
00:40:54,577 --> 00:40:57,996
So, all right, they don't trace Haskell.
They trace you.
608
00:40:58,206 --> 00:40:59,790
I never thought of that.
609
00:40:59,874 --> 00:41:02,626
The only safe way to get rid of the car
is to sell it to a dealer,
610
00:41:02,710 --> 00:41:04,253
get it registered under a new name.
611
00:41:04,754 --> 00:41:06,004
Say, stop at the next store.
612
00:41:06,089 --> 00:41:08,882
I wanna get a bottle and do some shopping
before we hit LA.
613
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:12,219
Okay. Soon as we find a place,
I'll drop you off and pick you up later.
614
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:14,429
Nothin' doin'. You're coming in too.
615
00:41:14,514 --> 00:41:17,349
From now on,
you and I are like the Siamese twins.
616
00:41:17,433 --> 00:41:19,434
Have it your way,
but I don't get the point.
617
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:21,687
The point is I don't want you to get lost.
618
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:23,397
I'm not gonna beat it,
if that's what you're afraid of.
619
00:41:23,481 --> 00:41:24,648
I'll say you're not.
620
00:41:24,732 --> 00:41:27,568
Well, I'm gonna see that you sell this car
so you don't get caught.
621
00:41:27,652 --> 00:41:31,446
Thanks. Of course, your interest
wouldn't be financial, would it?
622
00:41:31,531 --> 00:41:33,699
You wouldn't want
a small percentage of the profits?
623
00:41:34,284 --> 00:41:37,202
Well, now that you insist,
how can I refuse?
624
00:41:37,287 --> 00:41:38,912
A hundred percent'll do.
625
00:41:38,997 --> 00:41:40,873
Fine. I'm relieved.
626
00:41:40,957 --> 00:41:43,208
I thought for a moment
you were gonna take it all.
627
00:41:43,293 --> 00:41:44,710
I don't want to be a hog.
628
00:41:46,588 --> 00:41:48,672
[Al narrating] A few hours later,
we were in Hollywood.
629
00:41:49,090 --> 00:41:51,466
I was recognizing places
Sue had written about.
630
00:41:52,051 --> 00:41:55,012
It struck me that,
far from being at the end of the trip,
631
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:58,098
there was a greater distance between Sue
and me than when I started out.
632
00:41:59,434 --> 00:42:02,060
Vera wasn't kidding
with that Siamese twins crack.
633
00:42:02,687 --> 00:42:06,106
She rented a little apartment
as Mrs. Charles Haskell.
634
00:42:07,025 --> 00:42:10,110
When I objected to this, she explained
that it was on account of the car.
635
00:42:10,612 --> 00:42:12,154
A dealer might think something was funny
636
00:42:12,238 --> 00:42:14,531
if he called and found
we were using different names.
637
00:42:19,704 --> 00:42:21,538
- Home, sweet home.
- Yeah.
638
00:42:22,457 --> 00:42:23,498
Not bad, either.
639
00:42:31,466 --> 00:42:33,842
In case there's any doubt in your mind,
I'll take the bedroom.
640
00:42:34,302 --> 00:42:35,177
Yeah.
641
00:42:36,471 --> 00:42:37,846
Sure is stuffy in here.
642
00:42:45,980 --> 00:42:47,689
- Keep the window shut.
- Okay.
643
00:42:50,026 --> 00:42:53,487
The old crow downstairs said
there's a folding bed behind this door.
644
00:42:59,535 --> 00:43:00,702
You know how to work it?
645
00:43:04,457 --> 00:43:05,540
I invented it.
646
00:43:09,504 --> 00:43:11,630
- Some joint.
- One can't have everything.
647
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,387
I'm first in the bathtub.
648
00:43:19,180 --> 00:43:22,140
I don't know why,
but I figured you would be.
649
00:43:31,985 --> 00:43:35,570
Boy, oh, boy. [sighs]
It sure feels good to be clean again.
650
00:43:36,948 --> 00:43:38,407
I must be ten pounds lighter.
651
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:40,450
You must be.
652
00:43:40,535 --> 00:43:42,077
[saxophone playing]
653
00:43:42,161 --> 00:43:45,372
Well, hitchin' rides isn't exactly the way
you keep your schoolgirl complexion.
654
00:43:49,585 --> 00:43:51,712
I wish that guy with the sax
would give up.
655
00:43:53,089 --> 00:43:54,423
It gets on my nerves.
656
00:43:56,509 --> 00:43:57,509
Forget it.
657
00:44:00,138 --> 00:44:01,179
Have a drink.
658
00:44:02,390 --> 00:44:04,141
Aren't you afraid
I'm gonna take you up on it?
659
00:44:06,269 --> 00:44:08,562
If I didn't wanna give you a drink,
I wouldn't have offered it.
660
00:44:09,731 --> 00:44:12,983
Why be a sorehead, Roberts?
You got yourself into this thing.
661
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:15,902
You should be grateful
I'm not turning you in.
662
00:44:16,904 --> 00:44:19,114
Why, if I wasn't regular,
you'd be in the pen this minute
663
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:22,284
being photographed, fingerprinted,
and being pushed around by the cops.
664
00:44:23,077 --> 00:44:25,620
So cheer up. Get rid of that long puss.
665
00:44:27,874 --> 00:44:29,666
Or is your conscience bothering you?
666
00:44:34,672 --> 00:44:35,505
No.
667
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:37,382
It isn't.
668
00:44:37,467 --> 00:44:39,468
Swell. That's the spirit.
669
00:44:41,012 --> 00:44:43,180
He's dead,
and no moaning around will bring him back.
670
00:44:46,684 --> 00:44:50,312
Anyway, I never could understand this worrying
about something that's over and done with.
671
00:44:50,396 --> 00:44:52,439
Now look, Vera.
For the last time, I didn't kill him.
672
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:53,982
Haskell was a sick man.
673
00:44:54,067 --> 00:44:56,109
Maybe he was dead before he fell
out of the car. I don't know.
674
00:44:56,194 --> 00:44:58,403
Sure, sure. He died of old age.
675
00:44:59,364 --> 00:45:00,364
All right.
676
00:45:01,324 --> 00:45:02,824
So if it'll make you sociable...
677
00:45:04,577 --> 00:45:05,827
you didn't kill him.
678
00:45:16,464 --> 00:45:17,297
Thanks.
679
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:31,186
- We're outta liquor, Roberts.
- Yeah.
680
00:45:32,313 --> 00:45:35,440
Too bad.
I felt like getting tight tonight.
681
00:45:35,525 --> 00:45:37,567
Well, I think you succeeded.
682
00:45:37,652 --> 00:45:40,737
- Am I tight?
- As a prima donna's corset.
683
00:45:40,822 --> 00:45:42,197
- That's good.
- [glass clatters]
684
00:45:42,281 --> 00:45:44,074
I wanted to get tight.
685
00:45:44,158 --> 00:45:46,785
Why? What have you got to get tight about?
686
00:45:46,869 --> 00:45:49,246
Oh, I don't know. A few things.
687
00:45:50,123 --> 00:45:50,956
[Al] Huh.
688
00:45:52,583 --> 00:45:54,042
You should have my worries.
689
00:45:54,127 --> 00:45:56,670
If I had your troubles, I'd stay sober.
690
00:45:56,754 --> 00:45:58,380
And I've got the key to that door.
691
00:46:01,926 --> 00:46:04,678
Yeah. Maybe you're right.
692
00:46:04,762 --> 00:46:06,388
I'm always right.
693
00:46:07,723 --> 00:46:10,183
You know, I don't like your attitude,
Roberts.
694
00:46:10,268 --> 00:46:12,018
Well, there's a lot of things I don't like.
695
00:46:13,479 --> 00:46:14,813
Say...
696
00:46:17,191 --> 00:46:19,276
But life's like a ball game.
697
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,111
You got to take a swing
at whatever comes along
698
00:46:21,195 --> 00:46:23,613
before you wake up
and find it's the ninth inning.
699
00:46:24,532 --> 00:46:25,782
Bet you read that somewhere.
700
00:46:25,867 --> 00:46:29,703
That's the trouble with you, Roberts.
All you do is bellyache.
701
00:46:30,788 --> 00:46:35,500
You could have taken it easy and,
well, try and make the best of things.
702
00:46:35,585 --> 00:46:38,378
But maybe that's what's wrong
with the whole world.
703
00:46:38,463 --> 00:46:40,297
Get the professor.
704
00:46:40,381 --> 00:46:43,133
People knock themselves out
trying to buck fate.
705
00:46:43,217 --> 00:46:46,386
Now take you, for instance.
You're lucky to be alive.
706
00:46:46,471 --> 00:46:49,055
Why, suppose Haskell had pulled open
your door?
707
00:46:49,140 --> 00:46:51,850
You'd be playing a harp now.
Think of that.
708
00:46:53,603 --> 00:46:56,855
You think of it. I'm tired of thinking.
709
00:46:56,939 --> 00:46:59,816
There's plenty of people dying this minute
710
00:46:59,901 --> 00:47:02,402
that would give anything
to trade places with you.
711
00:47:04,363 --> 00:47:05,989
I know what I'm talking about.
712
00:47:07,033 --> 00:47:10,744
I'm not so sure.
At least they know they're done for.
713
00:47:10,828 --> 00:47:13,580
They don't just sweat blood
wondering if they are.
714
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:16,750
Your philosophy stinks, pal.
715
00:47:18,002 --> 00:47:21,796
We all know we're gonna kick off someday.
It's only a question of when.
716
00:47:23,591 --> 00:47:26,551
But what got us on this subject anyway?
717
00:47:26,636 --> 00:47:28,553
We'll be discussing politics next.
718
00:47:29,388 --> 00:47:30,472
Yeah.
719
00:47:32,058 --> 00:47:33,433
Where'd you hide the butts?
720
00:47:34,310 --> 00:47:35,936
On the table, sucker.
721
00:47:43,611 --> 00:47:47,113
[Al narrating] We bored each other with
conversation for a couple of hours longer.
722
00:47:47,198 --> 00:47:50,408
Every five minutes, one of us was wishing
we had another bottle or a radio
723
00:47:50,493 --> 00:47:52,118
or something to read.
724
00:47:53,538 --> 00:47:55,247
Then finally we ran out of chat.
725
00:47:56,207 --> 00:47:57,499
I know it's only eleven o'clock,
726
00:47:57,583 --> 00:48:00,085
but I want to get up early
and make the rounds to the used car lots.
727
00:48:00,169 --> 00:48:03,088
No hurry about that.
We got all the time in the world.
728
00:48:03,172 --> 00:48:05,257
Maybe you have, but if you think
I want to stay cooped up in this place
729
00:48:05,341 --> 00:48:06,925
any longer than I have to, you're batty.
730
00:48:07,009 --> 00:48:10,262
It's not a bad place. Pay plenty
for diggings like this in New York.
731
00:48:10,346 --> 00:48:12,347
I wouldn't like it if it was the Ritz.
732
00:48:12,431 --> 00:48:14,849
[coughs]
733
00:48:16,602 --> 00:48:18,144
Rotten liquor. [coughs]
734
00:48:18,229 --> 00:48:20,981
You got a mean cough.
Ought to do something about it.
735
00:48:21,065 --> 00:48:22,315
I'll be all right.
736
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,817
That's what Camille said.
737
00:48:24,527 --> 00:48:25,652
Who?
738
00:48:25,736 --> 00:48:27,195
Nobody you know.
739
00:48:30,908 --> 00:48:33,368
- Wasn't that the dame that died of consumption?
- Yeah.
740
00:48:34,704 --> 00:48:37,289
Wouldn't it be a break for you
if I did kick off.
741
00:48:37,373 --> 00:48:40,333
You'd be free
with all Haskell's dough and car.
742
00:48:40,418 --> 00:48:42,043
I don't want to see anybody die.
743
00:48:43,212 --> 00:48:44,921
Not even me?
744
00:48:45,006 --> 00:48:48,008
Especially not you. One person died on me.
745
00:48:48,092 --> 00:48:50,510
If you did, well, that's all I need.
746
00:48:52,388 --> 00:48:54,222
You don't like me, do you, Roberts?
747
00:48:55,933 --> 00:48:56,975
Like you?
748
00:48:58,352 --> 00:48:59,769
I love you.
749
00:49:01,022 --> 00:49:02,981
My favorite sport is being kept prisoner.
750
00:49:04,025 --> 00:49:07,485
After we sell the car, you can go to blazes
for all I care, but not until then.
751
00:49:14,910 --> 00:49:16,536
I'm going to bed.
752
00:49:24,962 --> 00:49:26,463
Good night, Roberts.
753
00:49:26,547 --> 00:49:29,549
Don't try and sneak away during the night.
All the doors are locked.
754
00:49:29,634 --> 00:49:33,136
Anyway, if I find you gone in the morning,
I'll notify the police.
755
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:35,889
- They'll pick you up.
- Don't worry. I know when I'm in a spot.
756
00:49:36,974 --> 00:49:40,935
Well, good night. I hope that portable
rack isn't too uncomfortable for you.
757
00:49:41,020 --> 00:49:43,146
Don't lose any sleep over it,
will you, Vera?
758
00:49:44,940 --> 00:49:47,025
[key scratching lock]
759
00:50:20,601 --> 00:50:21,935
[softly] CRestview...
760
00:50:23,813 --> 00:50:29,651
6... 5... 7,
761
00:50:29,735 --> 00:50:32,654
[whispers] 2... 3.
762
00:50:33,948 --> 00:50:35,073
Hello?
763
00:50:36,117 --> 00:50:37,117
Hello!
764
00:50:38,327 --> 00:50:39,411
Hello?
765
00:50:40,579 --> 00:50:41,746
Hello?
766
00:50:48,295 --> 00:50:51,881
No. Not yet, darling.
767
00:50:53,134 --> 00:50:54,509
Tomorrow.
768
00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:56,928
Maybe.
769
00:51:00,391 --> 00:51:01,891
[Al narrating] if this were fiction,
770
00:51:01,976 --> 00:51:05,562
I would fall in love with her, marry her,
and make a respectable woman of her,
771
00:51:05,646 --> 00:51:09,816
or else she'd make some supreme,
class-A sacrifice for me and die.
772
00:51:11,152 --> 00:51:13,361
Sue and I would ball a little
over her grave
773
00:51:13,446 --> 00:51:16,448
and make some crack about
"there's good in all of us."
774
00:51:16,532 --> 00:51:20,160
But Vera, unfortunately,
was just as rotten in the morning
775
00:51:20,244 --> 00:51:21,870
as she'd been the night before.
776
00:51:21,954 --> 00:51:23,455
[knocking]
777
00:51:23,539 --> 00:51:25,415
All right, all right, I'm coming.
778
00:51:25,499 --> 00:51:27,459
[Al] Look, Vera, it's almost noon.
779
00:51:29,003 --> 00:51:31,254
So what?
The dealers will be there all day.
780
00:51:31,338 --> 00:51:34,007
They'll be there all year too, but it
doesn't mean I'm gonna wait that long.
781
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:36,551
Shut up.
You're making noises like a husband.
782
00:51:39,180 --> 00:51:42,932
- Well, do I rate a whistle?
- You sure do, but let's go.
783
00:51:43,017 --> 00:51:46,519
Let's go, let's go. I spend 85 bucks
and two hours preparing bait,
784
00:51:46,604 --> 00:51:48,188
and all you can say is "Let's go."
785
00:51:48,272 --> 00:51:51,274
[sighs] Come on.
786
00:51:56,071 --> 00:51:58,698
We passed a few used car lots
last night down this way.
787
00:51:58,783 --> 00:52:00,784
What do you think
we can get for this heap?
788
00:52:00,868 --> 00:52:04,496
I don't know. Plenty.
You just let me handle everything.
789
00:52:04,580 --> 00:52:06,206
You think we can get $2,000?
790
00:52:06,290 --> 00:52:07,707
I don't know. But don't worry.
791
00:52:07,792 --> 00:52:10,126
I'll squeeze as much
out of this guy as I can.
792
00:52:10,211 --> 00:52:13,296
If I let it go cheap without a fight,
he might think we've stolen the car.
793
00:52:13,380 --> 00:52:17,675
And listen, don't make any slips
and call me Roberts. That'll cook us.
794
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,636
I don't need you to tell me that.
795
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:21,930
You better just sit by
and keep your mouth closed.
796
00:52:22,014 --> 00:52:24,015
Remember, we're both in the soup
if anything happens.
797
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:25,642
Forget it and drive.
798
00:52:25,726 --> 00:52:28,144
You're my wife... Vera Haskell.
799
00:52:28,229 --> 00:52:32,315
Look, after the deal's closed, let's go
back to that place on Hollywood Boulevard
800
00:52:32,399 --> 00:52:33,942
where I saw the fur jacket.
801
00:52:34,026 --> 00:52:35,235
I want to buy it.
802
00:52:35,319 --> 00:52:37,987
After the deal's closed,
I'm saying good-bye to you.
803
00:52:38,072 --> 00:52:41,491
That's right. I forgot.
I guess I'm getting kind of used to you.
804
00:52:42,743 --> 00:52:45,036
Well, that's a habit
you can start breaking.
805
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,455
Let's try this place
in the middle of the block.
806
00:52:53,671 --> 00:52:55,129
Good afternoon. What can I do for you?
807
00:52:55,214 --> 00:52:58,508
- We're interested in selling a car.
- If the price is right.
808
00:53:01,387 --> 00:53:05,473
Well, if it's in good mechanical condition,
it should blue book for about 1,600.
809
00:53:06,475 --> 00:53:07,892
Tony, take a look at this motor.
810
00:53:07,977 --> 00:53:10,228
1,600. Are you kidding?
811
00:53:14,108 --> 00:53:15,900
[car hood opening]
812
00:53:21,448 --> 00:53:23,283
Well, maybe 1,850.
813
00:53:23,367 --> 00:53:26,744
Before I let it go for 1,850, I'll wreck it
and collect the insurance first.
814
00:53:26,829 --> 00:53:27,912
[coughs]
815
00:53:31,375 --> 00:53:33,376
Lady, this motor's seen a lot of driving.
816
00:53:39,925 --> 00:53:43,219
[Al narrating] While the mechanic
inspected the car, we haggled.
817
00:53:43,721 --> 00:53:46,973
At last, when we were all worn out,
we hit a compromise...
818
00:53:47,057 --> 00:53:48,600
his price.
819
00:53:51,896 --> 00:53:53,104
Okay, it's a deal.
820
00:53:53,188 --> 00:53:56,524
- Come in, we'll sign the papers.
- I have the ownership papers here with me.
821
00:53:56,609 --> 00:53:59,319
Look, Vera, in the meantime,
will you clean out the dash compartment?
822
00:53:59,403 --> 00:54:02,196
- There may be some stuff in it.
- All right, darling.
823
00:54:04,325 --> 00:54:06,534
1,850 bucks.
824
00:54:06,619 --> 00:54:08,244
That dirty cr...
825
00:54:15,544 --> 00:54:17,420
- Mm, New York, huh?
- Yeah.
826
00:54:17,504 --> 00:54:20,757
- But you bought the car in Miami?
- Yeah.
827
00:54:20,841 --> 00:54:22,467
Well, now, let's see about the insurance.
828
00:54:22,551 --> 00:54:24,552
We can either have it transferred
or canceled.
829
00:54:24,637 --> 00:54:27,263
Uh, what kind of insurance do you have,
Mr. Haskell?
830
00:54:28,432 --> 00:54:31,559
Well, uh, aren't all the papers there?
831
00:54:33,729 --> 00:54:37,857
I don't see any. Surely you know what type
of insurance you carry on the car.
832
00:54:37,942 --> 00:54:39,442
The name of the company?
833
00:54:40,277 --> 00:54:41,486
Yeah, but, uh...
834
00:54:41,570 --> 00:54:43,321
Well, if you'll just tell me
the name of the company,
835
00:54:43,405 --> 00:54:45,114
I'd be very glad to take care
of all the details.
836
00:54:45,199 --> 00:54:46,324
Well...
837
00:54:46,408 --> 00:54:48,409
- Did you sign the papers yet?
- Not yet.
838
00:54:48,494 --> 00:54:50,536
Well, don't. We're not selling the car.
839
00:54:50,621 --> 00:54:52,538
- Well, wait a minute, Mrs. Haskell...
- Come on, darling.
840
00:54:52,623 --> 00:54:55,917
- What's the matter? Change your mind?
- Yes. I'm sorry. I guess I have.
841
00:54:56,001 --> 00:54:57,377
- But, Vera...
- Let's go.
842
00:55:03,384 --> 00:55:06,636
You got me out of a tight spot, Vera,
but I still don't understand all this.
843
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:09,722
You will in a minute.
I almost threw away a gold mine.
844
00:55:09,807 --> 00:55:13,726
1,850 isn't to be sneezed at. The car
doesn't book for as much as I thought.
845
00:55:13,811 --> 00:55:15,478
We're not selling the car.
846
00:55:15,562 --> 00:55:17,438
You want to keep it?
Now wait a minute, Vera.
847
00:55:17,523 --> 00:55:20,608
You said yourself I wouldn't be safe
until the car was in someone else's name.
848
00:55:20,693 --> 00:55:22,360
I'd like to be free of this mess
when I go.
849
00:55:22,444 --> 00:55:24,612
That's just it, Roberts. You're not going.
850
00:55:25,531 --> 00:55:27,365
- [sighs]
- There's a drive-in at the next corner.
851
00:55:27,449 --> 00:55:30,201
Pull in there and we'll get a bite to eat
and I'll explain.
852
00:55:30,285 --> 00:55:32,453
What is this,
another one of your brilliant ideas?
853
00:55:38,794 --> 00:55:41,671
- Hello. May I take your order?
- Make mine a ham sandwich and coffee.
854
00:55:41,755 --> 00:55:44,340
- And for you, sir?
- Oh, I don't care. The same.
855
00:55:46,510 --> 00:55:47,719
Thank you.
856
00:55:52,224 --> 00:55:55,226
Get this, Vera,
I've been pretty patient so far.
857
00:55:55,310 --> 00:55:57,311
I've done everything you asked me to do,
but no more.
858
00:55:57,396 --> 00:55:59,564
- Shut up.
- You've taken Haskell's money.
859
00:55:59,648 --> 00:56:01,524
And you can have the dough we get
from selling the car,
860
00:56:01,608 --> 00:56:03,192
but you're not gonna keep me a prisoner.
861
00:56:03,277 --> 00:56:05,069
It's a good thing I bought the paper.
Look at that.
862
00:56:05,154 --> 00:56:07,030
- Vera, I'm in no mood...
- Read that.
863
00:56:17,708 --> 00:56:19,292
- No.
- Yes.
864
00:56:19,376 --> 00:56:20,960
- No, I won't do it.
- Yes, you will.
865
00:56:21,045 --> 00:56:23,254
You think I'm crazy.
It's impossible, I tell ya.
866
00:56:24,131 --> 00:56:25,173
Excuse me.
867
00:56:30,637 --> 00:56:32,138
Blow the horn when you're through.
868
00:56:35,350 --> 00:56:38,561
No one could possibly get away with an act
like that. Be wise to me in a minute.
869
00:56:38,645 --> 00:56:39,812
Don't be yellow.
870
00:56:39,897 --> 00:56:42,690
You look enough like him.
The same coloring and the same build.
871
00:56:42,775 --> 00:56:44,358
See how his clothes fit ya?
872
00:56:44,443 --> 00:56:46,235
No kidding. You almost
had me fooled for a while.
873
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:47,528
Oh, grow up, Vera.
874
00:56:47,613 --> 00:56:50,406
Don't you think a father knows his own
son? There must be other relatives.
875
00:56:50,491 --> 00:56:53,326
The father won't have to know ya.
We'll wait till he gives up the ghost.
876
00:56:53,410 --> 00:56:55,411
He's an old geezer
and he won't pull through.
877
00:56:55,496 --> 00:56:59,373
And as far as the relatives are concerned,
they haven't seen you in 15 or 20 years.
878
00:57:00,876 --> 00:57:02,585
- Eat.
- I'm not hungry.
879
00:57:03,253 --> 00:57:06,130
- And I won't do it.
- It's not as tough as it sounds.
880
00:57:06,215 --> 00:57:08,049
Remember, you've got
all kinds of identification...
881
00:57:08,133 --> 00:57:09,133
his car, letters, license...
882
00:57:09,218 --> 00:57:11,761
I could never get away with it.
It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
883
00:57:11,845 --> 00:57:13,888
The old boy has scads of dough.
884
00:57:13,972 --> 00:57:17,141
Look in the paper there. Personal fortune
assessed at over 15 million.
885
00:57:17,226 --> 00:57:18,684
He'll leave plenty, I tell ya.
886
00:57:18,769 --> 00:57:20,937
Maybe he cut off his son.
How do we know?
887
00:57:21,021 --> 00:57:23,606
It's out, Vera.
I won't have anything to do with it.
888
00:57:24,817 --> 00:57:27,068
I think you will.
889
00:57:27,152 --> 00:57:30,696
Look, Vera, I'll do anything
within reason, but not that.
890
00:57:30,781 --> 00:57:32,698
So forget it or find yourself another stooge.
891
00:57:32,783 --> 00:57:34,033
You sap!
892
00:57:34,785 --> 00:57:36,911
You'll be fixed for the rest of your life
as Charlie Haskell.
893
00:57:36,995 --> 00:57:40,081
You can take your inheritance and go away.
No more worrying about the rent.
894
00:57:40,165 --> 00:57:42,291
No sweating, scheming, wondering
where your next meal's coming from!
895
00:57:42,376 --> 00:57:43,417
Think about that, Roberts!
896
00:57:43,502 --> 00:57:46,295
Vera, please. You're talking too loud.
897
00:57:46,713 --> 00:57:49,298
On this I'm splitting 50-50 with you.
Sure, why not?
898
00:57:49,383 --> 00:57:51,050
We're both alike.
Both born in the same gutter.
899
00:57:51,135 --> 00:57:52,301
Now take it easy, Vera.
900
00:57:52,386 --> 00:57:54,637
There's people around here.
You don't know what you're talking...
901
00:57:55,806 --> 00:57:59,684
We'll wait till we read that old man
Haskell's dead. Then you show up.
902
00:57:59,768 --> 00:58:02,061
Like you read in New York
that he was sick.
903
00:58:02,146 --> 00:58:04,772
No! Suppose he doesn't die?
904
00:58:04,857 --> 00:58:06,941
He will. I know he will.
Something tells me.
905
00:58:09,611 --> 00:58:12,405
[Al narrating] But as much as I insisted
I would have no part of her scheme,
906
00:58:12,489 --> 00:58:14,448
Vera was taking it for granted I would.
907
00:58:16,535 --> 00:58:19,954
Neither of us had our mind on the cards
as we played that night.
908
00:58:20,038 --> 00:58:23,207
I knew we were just trying to kill time
between newspaper editions.
909
00:58:24,042 --> 00:58:26,002
This was a deathwatch for Vera.
910
00:58:27,129 --> 00:58:28,713
Maybe it was for me too.
911
00:58:28,797 --> 00:58:32,383
Don't you realize if I'm caught they'll want
to know where I got the car and stuff?
912
00:58:32,467 --> 00:58:35,595
- Then they'll have me on a murder charge.
- If you're smart, you won't get caught.
913
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:37,054
I knock with seven.
914
00:58:37,139 --> 00:58:39,348
And if I'm caught,
don't you realize you'll be out too?
915
00:58:39,808 --> 00:58:42,935
Eighteen points. That gives me 30.
916
00:58:44,188 --> 00:58:45,438
How will I be out?
917
00:58:45,522 --> 00:58:47,982
You'll be out $1,850 we would have gotten
on the car.
918
00:58:48,066 --> 00:58:49,483
Really, Vera, you'd be an awful chump
919
00:58:49,568 --> 00:58:51,569
if you threw away all that dough
on a dizzy long shot.
920
00:58:51,653 --> 00:58:52,904
Let me sell the bus tomorrow.
921
00:58:52,988 --> 00:58:54,655
With the money it'll bring
and what you've already got,
922
00:58:54,740 --> 00:58:56,449
a clever kid like you
can run it up in no time.
923
00:58:56,533 --> 00:58:59,035
- Then we'd both be in the clear.
- I'll be in the clear anyway.
924
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:00,912
Maybe. Maybe.
925
00:59:00,996 --> 00:59:02,580
But if I got caught...
926
00:59:03,540 --> 00:59:06,083
- I'd get good and sore at you, you know.
- You mean you'd squeal?
927
00:59:06,168 --> 00:59:08,377
- Well, no, not squeal exactly...
- Never mind what you meant!
928
00:59:11,048 --> 00:59:14,425
Even if you did tell the cops
I was in on it with you,
929
00:59:14,509 --> 00:59:15,885
what could they do to me?
930
00:59:16,929 --> 00:59:19,347
They might give me the same medicine
they gave you.
931
00:59:19,431 --> 00:59:21,140
- Yeah.
- A rope.
932
00:59:23,644 --> 00:59:25,770
But I'm on my way anyhow.
933
00:59:27,731 --> 00:59:29,732
All they'll be doing will be rushing it.
934
00:59:30,359 --> 00:59:32,818
All right. But think of the 1,850 you'd lose.
935
00:59:32,903 --> 00:59:35,655
You'd kick yourself along the block
if you let that get away from you.
936
00:59:35,739 --> 00:59:38,658
I'll take the chance. Want another drink?
937
00:59:38,742 --> 00:59:41,744
You're being a goon. That's the way
people wind up behind the eight ball.
938
00:59:41,828 --> 00:59:44,330
Once they get a few dollars,
they become greedy and want more.
939
00:59:44,414 --> 00:59:45,706
My, my.
940
00:59:45,791 --> 00:59:46,791
- Caesar.
- Who?
941
00:59:46,875 --> 00:59:49,585
You know, that Roman general?
He got his for being greedy.
942
00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:52,838
He wasn't satisfied.
So the final windup was he took the count.
943
00:59:52,923 --> 00:59:55,299
A couple of days ago you didn't have a dime.
944
00:59:55,384 --> 00:59:58,219
Why, you were so broke
you couldn't pay cash for a postage stamp.
945
00:59:58,303 --> 01:00:01,347
Now you've got almost $700,
with 1,850 in the offing.
946
01:00:01,431 --> 01:00:03,099
Take my advice. Don't try for more.
947
01:00:03,183 --> 01:00:05,768
I'm tired of this game.
Let's have some blackjack.
948
01:00:05,852 --> 01:00:06,686
Play solitaire.
949
01:00:06,770 --> 01:00:09,313
- I will, if that's the way you feel about it.
- That's the way I feel about it.
950
01:00:09,398 --> 01:00:11,607
Getting sore and throwing things
won't help much, Roberts.
951
01:00:11,692 --> 01:00:15,111
I'm merely doing you a favor. I help you out of
a jam by keepin' my mouth shut.
952
01:00:15,195 --> 01:00:18,072
I show you how to make some soft money,
and what thanks do I get?
953
01:00:18,156 --> 01:00:19,156
- Thanks?
- Sure.
954
01:00:19,241 --> 01:00:21,659
Or would you rather I called the cops and told
them you killed a man and stole his money?
955
01:00:21,743 --> 01:00:22,827
- I didn't kill anybody.
- Yes, you did.
956
01:00:22,911 --> 01:00:25,705
- No, I didn't. You know I didn't.
- All right, then.
957
01:00:28,542 --> 01:00:30,251
Suppose I call the cops?
958
01:00:30,335 --> 01:00:32,920
If you're innocent,
what do you got to be scared of?
959
01:00:33,005 --> 01:00:36,590
Okay, call 'em, you mutt. Go ahead and call 'em.
See if I care.
960
01:00:36,675 --> 01:00:39,552
- At least they'll give me a square deal.
- You want me to call 'em?
961
01:00:39,636 --> 01:00:43,597
You heard me. But I'm warning ya.
If I'm pinched, I'll swear you were in on it.
962
01:00:43,682 --> 01:00:46,976
I'll say that you helped me.
If I'm frying, I'll get even with you.
963
01:00:47,060 --> 01:00:48,686
You wouldn't dare. You're chicken!
964
01:00:48,770 --> 01:00:52,815
Yeah? Then try it and see.
Call 'em. Yeah.
965
01:00:53,650 --> 01:00:55,067
Okay, I will.
966
01:00:57,112 --> 01:01:00,489
[dialing]
967
01:01:07,706 --> 01:01:09,915
Information.
968
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,835
I want the number
of the Hollywood police station.
969
01:01:14,713 --> 01:01:16,756
Okay, I got it. Thanks.
970
01:01:17,966 --> 01:01:19,592
[phone hook clicks]
971
01:01:19,676 --> 01:01:21,677
- [dialing]
- Wait a minute, Vera. You wouldn't do that.
972
01:01:21,762 --> 01:01:23,721
Oh, wouldn't I? Give me that
and I'll show you if I would!
973
01:01:23,805 --> 01:01:25,681
Take it easy now. Let's talk this over.
974
01:01:25,766 --> 01:01:27,558
[Al narrating]
This was early in the evening.
975
01:01:27,642 --> 01:01:32,146
And the conversation, while hectic,
was at least pitched low.
976
01:01:32,230 --> 01:01:36,776
But as the minutes passed and more obstacles
to her plan popped into my head,
977
01:01:36,860 --> 01:01:38,486
the air got blue.
978
01:01:38,570 --> 01:01:41,822
Each word coming from our lips
cracked like a whip.
979
01:01:41,907 --> 01:01:45,785
I reminded her that as Charles Haskell
I didn't even know my mother's name,
980
01:01:45,869 --> 01:01:47,578
where I'd gone to school,
981
01:01:47,662 --> 01:01:49,413
the name of my best friend,
982
01:01:49,498 --> 01:01:51,415
whether I had an Aunt Emma or not,
983
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:54,794
my religion, and if I'd ever owned a dog.
984
01:01:54,878 --> 01:01:57,463
I didn't even know
what my middle initial stood for.
985
01:01:57,547 --> 01:02:00,925
I also pointed out that the real Haskell
had a scar on his forearm.
986
01:02:01,510 --> 01:02:03,302
His people never saw that scar.
987
01:02:03,387 --> 01:02:05,596
He told me he ran away
right after putting out the kid's eye.
988
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,140
Yeah, but his father knew he was cut.
There'd have to be some kind of mark.
989
01:02:08,225 --> 01:02:10,434
So what?
990
01:02:10,519 --> 01:02:14,438
The old man's dead or will be.
I hope by tomorrow morning's papers.
991
01:02:14,523 --> 01:02:18,025
Anyway, you could cut yourself
a little, couldn't ya?
992
01:02:19,027 --> 01:02:22,321
Boy, for that kind of dough,
I'd let you cut my leg off.
993
01:02:22,406 --> 01:02:23,989
You're drunk and you're crazy mad, Vera.
994
01:02:24,074 --> 01:02:26,033
Turn me in if you want to,
but I won't get mixed up in this.
995
01:02:26,118 --> 01:02:28,160
Besides, how do we know?
Haskell was such a phony.
996
01:02:28,245 --> 01:02:30,371
Maybe he wasn't the man's son at all.
Maybe he just dreamed it up.
997
01:02:30,455 --> 01:02:35,918
Well, dreaming or not, you won't be dreaming
when the law taps you on the shoulder.
998
01:02:36,002 --> 01:02:39,588
There's a cute little gas chamber
waiting for you, Roberts.
999
01:02:39,673 --> 01:02:43,134
And I hear extradition to Arizona's a cinch.
1000
01:02:43,218 --> 01:02:45,052
Where's that phone?
1001
01:02:45,137 --> 01:02:46,512
- Vera.
- Leave me alone!
1002
01:02:46,596 --> 01:02:50,057
- Vera!
- I wanna phone, call the police.
1003
01:02:50,767 --> 01:02:54,812
I hate you, you stinker.
You leave me alone!
1004
01:02:54,896 --> 01:02:57,106
I'll let you alone when you promise to leave
the phone where it is.
1005
01:02:57,190 --> 01:02:59,150
- You're drunk. You don't know what you're doing.
- You're hurting me.
1006
01:02:59,234 --> 01:03:00,860
Will you promise?
1007
01:03:00,944 --> 01:03:02,528
All right.
1008
01:03:07,492 --> 01:03:10,327
- You hurt me.
- I'm sorry, but...
1009
01:03:10,412 --> 01:03:13,372
- And it's hot in here! Open up a window!
- It's not hot!
1010
01:03:13,457 --> 01:03:16,125
Don't tell me!
Now do you do it or do I do it?
1011
01:03:18,086 --> 01:03:19,837
You're no gentleman, see?
1012
01:03:19,921 --> 01:03:23,299
Yeah. All right, I'll open up the window.
1013
01:03:26,428 --> 01:03:27,511
Vera!
1014
01:03:31,892 --> 01:03:34,643
Vera, open the door.
Please open the door.
1015
01:03:34,728 --> 01:03:36,854
Vera, open the door.
Don't use the phone. Listen to me.
1016
01:03:37,522 --> 01:03:40,983
I don't like you, Roberts.
You're no gentleman, see?
1017
01:03:41,067 --> 01:03:45,154
You hurt my hand,
and I'm gonna get even with you.
1018
01:03:45,238 --> 01:03:48,407
If you don't open the door,
I'm gonna kick it down, Vera.
1019
01:03:48,492 --> 01:03:51,368
Vera, don't call the cops.
Listen to me, I'll do anything you say.
1020
01:03:52,287 --> 01:03:53,746
Vera, let me in!
1021
01:03:55,207 --> 01:03:56,665
I'll break the phone!
1022
01:04:14,267 --> 01:04:17,269
[grunting]
1023
01:04:22,609 --> 01:04:23,943
Vera.
1024
01:04:34,579 --> 01:04:36,539
[Al narrating] The world is full of skeptics.
1025
01:04:37,290 --> 01:04:39,667
I know. I'm one myself.
1026
01:04:40,669 --> 01:04:43,712
In the Haskell business, how many of you
would believe he fell out of the car?
1027
01:04:43,797 --> 01:04:46,173
And now, after killing Vera
without really meaning to do it,
1028
01:04:46,258 --> 01:04:48,676
how many of you would believe
it wasn't premeditated?
1029
01:04:49,719 --> 01:04:53,264
In a jury room, every last man of you
would go down shouting
1030
01:04:53,348 --> 01:04:56,058
that she had me over a barrel
and my only out was force.
1031
01:04:58,103 --> 01:04:59,728
The room was still.
1032
01:05:00,730 --> 01:05:03,691
So quiet that for a while I'd wondered
if I'd suddenly gone deaf.
1033
01:05:04,484 --> 01:05:06,235
It was pure fear, of course.
1034
01:05:06,319 --> 01:05:08,195
And I was hysterical,
1035
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:09,989
but without making a sound.
1036
01:05:11,324 --> 01:05:14,285
Vera was dead, and I was her murderer.
1037
01:05:15,370 --> 01:05:19,873
Murderer. What an awful word that is.
But I'd become one.
1038
01:05:19,958 --> 01:05:22,042
I'd better not get caught.
1039
01:05:22,127 --> 01:05:24,628
What evidence there was around the place
had to be destroyed.
1040
01:05:24,713 --> 01:05:26,505
And from the looks of things, there was plenty.
1041
01:05:26,590 --> 01:05:28,299
Looking around the room at things we'd bought
1042
01:05:28,383 --> 01:05:30,801
was like looking into the faces of
a hundred people who'd seen us together
1043
01:05:30,885 --> 01:05:32,803
and who remembered me.
1044
01:05:32,887 --> 01:05:35,306
This was the kind of testimony
I couldn't rub out.
1045
01:05:36,808 --> 01:05:38,058
No.
1046
01:05:38,143 --> 01:05:41,312
I could burn clothes and hide bottles
for the next five years.
1047
01:05:41,396 --> 01:05:42,855
There'd always be witnesses.
1048
01:05:42,939 --> 01:05:44,732
The landlady for one.
She could identify me.
1049
01:05:44,816 --> 01:05:46,233
The car dealer, the waitress in the drive-in,
1050
01:05:46,318 --> 01:05:48,819
the girl in the dress shop,
and that guy in the liquor store.
1051
01:05:48,903 --> 01:05:50,696
They could all identify me.
1052
01:05:52,032 --> 01:05:55,868
I was cooked. Done for.
I had to get out of there.
1053
01:05:57,203 --> 01:05:59,330
While once I remained beside a dead body
1054
01:05:59,414 --> 01:06:02,416
planning carefully how to avoid
being accused of killing him,
1055
01:06:02,500 --> 01:06:04,752
this time I couldn't.
1056
01:06:04,836 --> 01:06:06,503
This time I was guilty.
1057
01:06:07,422 --> 01:06:09,923
I knew it. Felt it.
1058
01:06:10,967 --> 01:06:13,218
I was like a guy suffering from shock.
1059
01:06:13,303 --> 01:06:14,970
Things were whirling around in my head.
1060
01:06:15,055 --> 01:06:17,890
I couldn't make myself think right.
1061
01:06:17,974 --> 01:06:21,435
All I could think of was the guy with
the saxophone and what he was playing.
1062
01:06:22,437 --> 01:06:24,021
It wasn't a love song anymore.
1063
01:06:24,814 --> 01:06:26,565
It was a dirge.

But my problems weren't solved.
1066
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:19,493
I had to stay away from New York
for all time.
1067
01:07:20,328 --> 01:07:23,622
Because Al Roberts was listed as dead
and had to stay dead.
1068
01:07:24,332 --> 01:07:25,999
And I could never go back to Hollywood.
1069
01:07:26,835 --> 01:07:28,794
Someone might recognize me as Haskell.
1070
01:07:30,130 --> 01:07:33,048
- Then, too, there was Sue.
- [music stops]
1071
01:07:34,467 --> 01:07:37,803
I could never go to her with a thing
like this hanging over my head.
1072
01:07:39,180 --> 01:07:42,474
All I could do was pray she'd be happy.
1073
01:07:53,486 --> 01:07:57,656
I was in Bakersfield before I read
that Vera's body was discovered.
1074
01:07:57,741 --> 01:08:01,368
And that the police were looking for Haskell
in connection with his wife's murder.
1075
01:08:02,871 --> 01:08:04,413
Isn't that a laugh?
1076
01:08:05,081 --> 01:08:09,001
Haskell got me into this mess
and Haskell was getting me out of it.
1077
01:08:09,085 --> 01:08:11,170
The police were searching for a dead man.
1078
01:08:14,674 --> 01:08:16,884
I keep trying to forget what happened...
1079
01:08:18,261 --> 01:08:22,973
and wonder what my life might have been
if that car of Haskell's hadn't stopped.
1080
01:08:24,768 --> 01:08:26,935
But one thing I don't have to wonder about.
1081
01:08:28,146 --> 01:08:29,605
I know.
1082
01:08:31,107 --> 01:08:34,234
Someday a car will stop to pick me up
that I never thumbed.
1083
01:08:38,990 --> 01:08:39,865
Yes.
1084
01:08:40,742 --> 01:08:44,411
Fate... or some mysterious force
1085
01:08:44,496 --> 01:08:47,414
can put the finger on you or me
1086
01:08:47,499 --> 01:08:49,500
for no good reason at all.

Al Roberts, an unemployed piano player, hitches a ride, arriving at a roadside diner in Reno, Nevada. Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.
Al recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.
In Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.
Al realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.
Al crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.
In Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.
Back at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.
Al gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of "his wife." Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest.

- No, turn it off!
- Now wait a minute, pal.
34
00:04:23,305 --> 00:04:24,972
That was my nickel, see?
35
00:04:25,057 --> 00:04:28,059
This is a free country,
and I play whatever I want to.
36
00:04:29,603 --> 00:04:30,645
Okay.
37
00:04:30,729 --> 00:04:33,022
Sure. And if you don't like,
you don't have to listen to it.
38
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:35,066
And you can leave here anytime you wanna.
39
00:04:35,150 --> 00:04:36,692
Okay, okay. I'm sorry I asked.
40
00:04:36,777 --> 00:04:38,986
First good piece played tonight,
and you don't like it.
41
00:04:39,071 --> 00:04:41,489
Some people just ain't got any good taste.
42
00:04:44,076 --> 00:04:47,161
[music continues]
43
00:04:52,751 --> 00:04:55,962
[thinking] That tune. That tune!
44
00:04:56,046 --> 00:04:58,297
Why was there always that rotten tune?
45
00:04:58,382 --> 00:05:01,175
Following me around, beating in my head,
never letting up.
46
00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:07,181
Did you ever wanna forget anything?
47
00:05:07,599 --> 00:05:10,518
Did you ever wanna cut away
a piece of your memory or blot it out?
48
00:05:10,978 --> 00:05:14,397
You can't, you know?
No matter how hard you try.
49
00:05:14,481 --> 00:05:16,440
You can change the scenery,
50
00:05:16,525 --> 00:05:18,609
but sooner or later
you'll get a whiff of perfume,
51
00:05:18,694 --> 00:05:21,195
or somebody will say a certain phrase
or maybe hum something.
52
00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:23,531
Then you're licked again.
53
00:05:25,575 --> 00:05:27,994
"I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me."
54
00:05:28,078 --> 00:05:29,954
I used to love that song once.
55
00:05:30,038 --> 00:05:33,124
So did the customers back in the old
Break O' Dawn Club in New York.
56
00:05:33,625 --> 00:05:36,711
I can't remember a night when I didn't get
at least three requests for it.
57
00:05:37,504 --> 00:05:40,756
Sue, she was always selling it too.
58
00:05:41,258 --> 00:05:42,550
Those were the days.
59
00:05:42,634 --> 00:05:44,635
[song continues]
60
00:05:48,598 --> 00:05:51,559
[song continues, live combo playing]
61
00:06:07,701 --> 00:06:11,245
# Your eyes of blue
Your kisses too #
62
00:06:11,329 --> 00:06:14,123
# I never knew what they could do #
63
00:06:14,207 --> 00:06:19,420
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
64
00:06:19,963 --> 00:06:23,132
# You're telling everyone you know #
65
00:06:23,216 --> 00:06:26,343
# That I'm on your mind each place you go #
66
00:06:26,428 --> 00:06:31,223
# They can't believe
That you're in love with me #
67
00:06:32,392 --> 00:06:38,189
# I have always placed you far above me #
68
00:06:38,273 --> 00:06:43,778
# I just can't imagine that you love me #
69
00:06:43,862 --> 00:06:47,073
# And after all is said and done #
70
00:06:47,157 --> 00:06:50,284
# To think that I'm the lucky one #
71
00:06:50,368 --> 00:06:55,748
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
72
00:07:02,631 --> 00:07:04,715
[Al narrating] It wasn't much of a club, really.
73
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,300
You know the kind.
74
00:07:06,384 --> 00:07:08,385
A joint where you could have a sandwich
and a few drinks,
75
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:11,055
and run interference for your girl
on the dance floor.
76
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:15,101
- [playing romantic melody]
- I fronted the piano in there every night
77
00:07:15,185 --> 00:07:17,311
from 8:00 until the place closed up,
78
00:07:17,395 --> 00:07:19,563
which usually meant 4:00 in the morning.
79
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:22,066
A good job as jobs went in those days.
80
00:07:25,487 --> 00:07:28,739
Then, too, there was Sue,
81
00:07:28,824 --> 00:07:31,784
who made working there
a little like working in heaven.
82
00:07:32,244 --> 00:07:36,372
But how we felt about each other, well,
there was nothing very unusual in that.
83
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:39,834
I was an ordinary healthy guy,
and she was an ordinary healthy girl,
84
00:07:39,918 --> 00:07:43,170
and when you add those two together,
you get an ordinary healthy romance,
85
00:07:43,255 --> 00:07:44,672
which is the old story.
86
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:49,426
Sure. But somehow
the most wonderful thing in the world.
87
00:07:49,511 --> 00:07:51,846
[continues playing, rapidly]
88
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:59,436
All in all, I was a pretty lucky guy.
89
00:08:12,450 --> 00:08:15,494
Mr. Patterewsky, I presume?
It's beautiful.
90
00:08:15,579 --> 00:08:17,663
You're going to make Carnegie Hall yet, Al.
91
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:20,332
Yeah. As a janitor.
92
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:22,251
I'll make my debut in the basement.
93
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:26,005
I don't blame you for being bitter,
darling, but you mustn't give up hope.
94
00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:27,798
- Why, some day...
- Yeah, some day,
95
00:08:27,883 --> 00:08:29,633
if I don't get arthritis first.
96
00:08:29,718 --> 00:08:31,385
In the meantime, let's blow this trap.
97
00:08:31,469 --> 00:08:32,845
[piano lid thuds]
98
00:08:48,737 --> 00:08:49,737
[door closes]
99
00:08:51,323 --> 00:08:53,782
- Like to get something to eat, hon?
- Oh, I don't think so, Al.
100
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:56,911
I lose my appetite working in this fleabag.
101
00:08:56,995 --> 00:08:58,954
- Let's go home.
- Okay.
102
00:08:59,831 --> 00:09:02,416
I can't stand much more of that dump.
103
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:05,211
Did you see that drunk tonight
trying to paw me?
104
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:08,547
- No, what drunk?
- Does it matter what drunk?
105
00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:11,800
Say, what's the matter with you tonight, darling?
106
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:14,511
That's the third time you started
to tell me something and then stopped.
107
00:09:15,305 --> 00:09:17,806
We shouldn't have any secrets
from each other, Sue.
108
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:20,267
Next week, we're gonna make with a ring
and a license. We'll be a team.
109
00:09:20,352 --> 00:09:23,395
Yes, that's right. In the bush league.
110
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,190
- I don't get ya.
- We've been struck out.
111
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:29,276
That's a funny way to talk, darling.
112
00:09:29,361 --> 00:09:31,737
- Don't you wanna marry me?
- Al, look, I love you.
113
00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:34,198
You know I do.
And I want to marry you.
114
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:36,742
- But...?
- But not now.
115
00:09:36,826 --> 00:09:39,286
Only after we've made good.
116
00:09:39,371 --> 00:09:40,996
Sunday I'm going away.
117
00:09:41,706 --> 00:09:43,666
Oh, I know you'll think it's silly.
118
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:46,001
That's why I hesitated to tell you.
119
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:47,795
But I'm going to California.
120
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:50,297
I wanna try my luck in Hollywood.
121
00:09:50,548 --> 00:09:52,758
[Al] That's the most
stupid thing I ever heard of.
122
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:56,387
Don't you know millions of people go out there
every year and wind up polishing cuspidors?
123
00:09:56,471 --> 00:09:57,638
I thought you had better sense.
124
00:09:57,722 --> 00:09:59,598
You sound as if you think
I don't have any talent.
125
00:09:59,683 --> 00:10:02,101
- That has nothing to do with it.
- I'll make out all right.
126
00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:03,936
Maybe. But what about me?
127
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:06,563
Doesn't it mean anything to you
that you're busting up all our plans?
128
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:09,817
- We may not see each other for years?
- It won't be that long.
129
00:10:09,901 --> 00:10:12,111
- I thought you loved me.
- I do.
130
00:10:12,195 --> 00:10:13,737
You know I do.
131
00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:18,325
Well, here we are.
132
00:10:20,787 --> 00:10:21,787
Al...
133
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:25,541
Al, why can't you see my side of it?
134
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:28,294
I'm young. We both are. And...
135
00:10:28,378 --> 00:10:31,005
And we've got all the time in the world
to settle down.
136
00:10:31,715 --> 00:10:33,966
[sighs] Really, darling.
137
00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:37,303
What I'm doing is the only sane thing to do.
138
00:10:37,387 --> 00:10:40,889
[sighs] I... I hate the thought
of being so far away from you.
139
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:44,226
But... But we'll be together again some day.
140
00:10:44,311 --> 00:10:47,563
[sighs] Maybe you'll decide
to come out too, later on.
141
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:49,898
- So long.
- Al.
142
00:10:50,734 --> 00:10:53,068
Aren't you gonna kiss me good night?
143
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,237
Sure, why not?
144
00:10:57,741 --> 00:10:58,991
Good night.
145
00:11:05,248 --> 00:11:07,708
[playing romantic melody]
146
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:34,276
[playing jauntily, jazzy]
147
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:47,164
[changing rhythm, slower]
148
00:12:09,604 --> 00:12:12,231
[changing rhythm, jittery]
149
00:12:18,822 --> 00:12:21,824
[no audible dialogue]
150
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:40,717
[piano playing stops]
151
00:12:40,802 --> 00:12:42,469
- [applause]
- Say, Roberts.
152
00:12:42,554 --> 00:12:45,848
You hit the jackpot this time. Ten bucks.
153
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:47,391
Thanks.
154
00:12:53,481 --> 00:12:56,024
[Al narrating] So when this drunk handed me
a ten-spot after a request,
155
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:57,526
I couldn't get very excited.
156
00:12:57,777 --> 00:13:01,363
What was it, I asked myself?
A piece of paper crawling with germs.
157
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:03,866
Couldn't buy anything I wanted.
158
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:05,242
It couldn't...
159
00:13:08,246 --> 00:13:09,705
Then I thought of something.
160
00:13:33,104 --> 00:13:34,313
Long distance.
161
00:13:34,397 --> 00:13:36,857
I'd like to put a call through to Los Angeles.
162
00:13:36,941 --> 00:13:39,193
Miss Harvey. Sue Harvey.
163
00:13:39,277 --> 00:13:41,069
H-A-R-V-E-Y.
164
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:44,615
The number is CRestview 65723.
165
00:14:04,594 --> 00:14:06,386
- 4.50.
- [coin clatters]
166
00:14:06,471 --> 00:14:08,347
- 4.75.
- [coin clatters]
167
00:14:08,431 --> 00:14:09,431
5.00.
168
00:14:12,477 --> 00:14:15,020
Hello, Sue? This is Al.
169
00:14:15,104 --> 00:14:17,356
Oh, baby, it's great to hear from you too.
170
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,651
What's that? You do?
Oh, me too, darling.
171
00:14:20,735 --> 00:14:23,362
I thought I'd go batty without you.
I just had to...
172
00:14:23,446 --> 00:14:24,446
Huh?
173
00:14:25,406 --> 00:14:27,449
You're workin' as a hash slinger?
174
00:14:27,534 --> 00:14:28,867
Gee, honey, that's tough.
175
00:14:28,952 --> 00:14:32,371
Those guys out in Hollywood don't know
the real thing when it's right in front of them.
176
00:14:32,455 --> 00:14:34,164
You just stick it out, Sue, baby.
177
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:37,417
Keep goin' around to those casting offices.
I'm sure you'll click.
178
00:14:38,002 --> 00:14:40,629
Look, I'll tell you what.
You stay put out there. I'll come to you.
179
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:43,632
No, don't try to stop me. Just expect me.
180
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:46,760
Train? Who knows?
Train, plane, bus, magic carpet.
181
00:14:46,844 --> 00:14:50,430
I'll be there if I have to crawl.
If I have to travel by pogo stick.
182
00:14:50,515 --> 00:14:53,809
And then... let's get married right away.
183
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:59,439
That's the stuff. That's what
I've been wanting to hear you say.
184
00:15:00,525 --> 00:15:03,110
Well, good-bye for now.
185
00:15:04,362 --> 00:15:06,905
I'll be seeing you soon. [kisses]
186
00:15:07,282 --> 00:15:10,492
Yeah. [kisses] Bye.
187
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:18,500
[Al narrating] The only way I could
cross country was to thumb rides,
188
00:15:18,585 --> 00:15:21,587
for even after hocking everything,
I only had enough money to eat.
189
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:24,923
Money. You know what that is.
190
00:15:25,717 --> 00:15:27,551
It's the stuff you never have enough of.
191
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:29,720
Little green things
with George Washington's picture
192
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:33,432
that men slave for,
commit crimes for, die for.
193
00:15:34,183 --> 00:15:36,226
It's the stuff that has caused
more trouble in the world
194
00:15:36,311 --> 00:15:38,186
than anything else we ever invented,
195
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:41,273
simply because there's too little of it.
196
00:15:41,357 --> 00:15:43,442
At least I had too little of it.
197
00:15:43,526 --> 00:15:45,319
So it was me for the thumb.
198
00:16:01,753 --> 00:16:03,170
Ever done any hitchhiking?
199
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:05,881
It's not much fun, believe me.
200
00:16:06,549 --> 00:16:08,842
Oh, yeah,
I know all about how it's an education,
201
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:11,595
and how you get to meet a lot of people,
and all that.
202
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:15,849
But me, from now on
I'll take my education in college,
203
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:20,187
or in P.S. 62, or I'll send $1.98
in stamps for ten easy lessons.
204
00:16:29,447 --> 00:16:33,367
Thumbing rides may save you bus fare,
but it's dangerous.
205
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:37,954
You never know what's in store for you
when you hear the squeal of brakes.
206
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,001
If only I had known what I was getting into
that day in Arizona.
207
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:46,546
Here, throw that in the back seat.
208
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:51,301
Okay, let's go.
Make sure that door's closed.
209
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:53,553
- [door closes]
- [lock clacks]
210
00:17:05,483 --> 00:17:09,319
You know, Emily Post ought to write
a book of rules for guys thumbing rides.
211
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:13,031
Because as it is now you never know
what's right and what's wrong.
212
00:17:13,783 --> 00:17:17,285
We rode along for a little while,
neither one of us saying anything.
213
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:19,538
I was glad of that.
214
00:17:19,622 --> 00:17:22,457
I never know what to say
to strange people driving cars.
215
00:17:23,418 --> 00:17:26,545
And too, you can never tell
if a guy wants to talk.
216
00:17:26,629 --> 00:17:29,631
A lot of rides have been cut short
because of a big mouth.
217
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:34,845
So I kept my mouth shut
until he started opening up.
218
00:17:35,596 --> 00:17:38,473
Hand me that little box
in the compartment, will ya, pal?
219
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:42,936
Hold the wheel, will ya?
220
00:17:44,397 --> 00:17:45,397
[pills rattling]
221
00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:53,029
[glove box closes]
222
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:56,450
- How far are ya going?
- LA.
223
00:17:56,534 --> 00:17:58,577
Well, you're really traveling aren't ya?
224
00:17:58,661 --> 00:18:00,704
Yeah, but I don't expect to make it
for a couple years
225
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:02,372
at the rate I've been promoting rides.
226
00:18:02,457 --> 00:18:03,582
Not much luck, huh?
227
00:18:03,666 --> 00:18:05,459
Sure. All bad.
228
00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:07,753
Not many people stop for a guy these days.
229
00:18:07,837 --> 00:18:09,296
Afraid of a stickup maybe.
230
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:10,505
Ah, you can't blame 'em.
231
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:13,675
- Where ya comin' from?
- New York.
232
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,137
Well, New York. You're in luck this time.
233
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:19,139
I'm goin' all the way.
234
00:18:19,223 --> 00:18:20,807
Right through to Los Angeles.
235
00:18:22,018 --> 00:18:24,102
- You drive a car?
- Sure.
236
00:18:24,187 --> 00:18:26,897
- Whenever you're tired, let me know.
- I'll holler.
237
00:18:28,691 --> 00:18:30,776
I guess at least an hour passed
before I noticed
238
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:32,778
those deep scratches in his right hand.
239
00:18:33,237 --> 00:18:34,696
They were wicked.
240
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:37,532
Three puffy red lines
about a quarter of an inch apart.
241
00:18:38,576 --> 00:18:40,869
He must have seen me looking at them
because he said...
242
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:43,288
Beauties, aren't they?
243
00:18:44,081 --> 00:18:45,957
They're gonna be scars someday.
244
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:49,002
What an animal.
245
00:18:49,086 --> 00:18:51,880
Whatever it was, it must have been
pretty big and vicious to have done that.
246
00:18:52,381 --> 00:18:54,424
Right on both counts, New York.
247
00:18:54,509 --> 00:18:57,636
I was tussling with the most
dangerous animal in the world...
248
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,804
a woman.
249
00:18:59,388 --> 00:19:01,014
She must have been Tarzan's mate.
250
00:19:01,098 --> 00:19:02,766
Looks like you lost the bout.
251
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:04,559
Certainly wasn't a draw.
252
00:19:05,394 --> 00:19:08,313
You know, there ought to be a law
against dames with claws.
253
00:19:08,397 --> 00:19:09,314
Yeah.
254
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:11,483
I tossed her out of the car on her ear.
255
00:19:12,318 --> 00:19:16,655
Was I wrong? Give a lift to a tomato,
you expect her to be nice, don't ya?
256
00:19:16,739 --> 00:19:17,656
Yeah.
257
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:20,242
After all, what kind of dames thumb rides?
258
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:22,577
- Sunday school teachers?
- Yeah.
259
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:25,747
The little witch.
260
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:28,458
She must've thought she was riding
with some fall guy.
261
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:32,337
And me who's been booking horses
around racetracks since I was 20.
262
00:19:33,047 --> 00:19:34,923
[scoffs] I've known a million dames like her.
263
00:19:35,383 --> 00:19:37,217
- Two million.
- Yeah.
264
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:42,138
Stopped the car, opened the door...
265
00:19:42,223 --> 00:19:44,641
"Take it on the Arthur Duffy, sister,"
I told her.
266
00:19:44,725 --> 00:19:48,103
- That's the stuff.
- As I was down on her. [laughs]
267
00:19:48,479 --> 00:19:52,148
But if you wanna see a real scar, brother,
get a load of this.
268
00:19:53,442 --> 00:19:55,026
Wow.
269
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:57,904
- I got that one dueling.
- Dueling?
270
00:19:58,406 --> 00:19:59,865
Yeah. We were just kidding, of course.
271
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:02,450
My dad owned a couple of
Franco-Prussian sabers.
272
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:04,244
Kept 'em on the wall for decorations.
273
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:09,749
One day, another kid and I took 'em down
when the old man wasn't around. Had a duel.
274
00:20:09,834 --> 00:20:11,376
[chuckles]
275
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:13,587
He hit me in the arm, here.
276
00:20:13,671 --> 00:20:15,338
Pretty mean cut.
277
00:20:15,423 --> 00:20:16,965
Infection set in later.
278
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:18,842
Yeah, I can see that.
279
00:20:19,093 --> 00:20:21,428
- Oh, gimme that box again, will ya?
- Yeah.
280
00:20:24,765 --> 00:20:26,099
[pills rattling]
281
00:20:31,355 --> 00:20:32,397
[glove box closes]
282
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:35,525
Pain made me lose my head, I guess.
283
00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:37,694
I began slashing.
284
00:20:37,778 --> 00:20:40,488
Before I knew it,
I put the other kid's eye out.
285
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:43,950
- That was tough.
- Well, it was just an accident, of course.
286
00:20:44,035 --> 00:20:48,413
But you know how kids are. I got scared...
decided I was gonna run away from home.
287
00:20:48,915 --> 00:20:51,958
Old man almost clocked me
when I was packin' my duds.
288
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:56,296
If the bloody rag I had wrapped around my wrist
hadn't caught his attention,
289
00:20:56,380 --> 00:20:58,048
he'd have seen the bundle for sure.
290
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:01,551
But I beat it when he was phoning for a doctor.
291
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:06,598
That was 15, 16 years ago.
I haven't been home since.
292
00:21:10,561 --> 00:21:12,729
Pull in there for a bite of something, huh?
293
00:21:12,813 --> 00:21:14,481
[Al narrating] A bite of something.
294
00:21:14,565 --> 00:21:16,066
Brother, was I hungry.
295
00:21:16,150 --> 00:21:18,401
I hadn't had anything in my stomach for hours.
296
00:21:19,362 --> 00:21:21,404
Yet even with that gnawing
in the pit of my belly,
297
00:21:21,489 --> 00:21:24,324
I didn't want to be in too big a rush
to put on the feed bag.
298
00:21:25,076 --> 00:21:27,827
First, I had to make sure
this guy knew the score.
299
00:21:27,912 --> 00:21:31,247
If I got him down on me,
it was good-bye ticket to Hollywood.
300
00:21:32,083 --> 00:21:33,708
I'll wait out here for you, mister.
301
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:36,753
If it's the money, don't worry about
paying for it. This time it's on me.
302
00:21:36,837 --> 00:21:39,255
- Well, that's white of you, Mr...
- Haskell. Think nothing of it.
303
00:21:39,340 --> 00:21:42,717
You make your first million, maybe you can
do the same for me. Come on, New York.
304
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:44,594
I gotta make the West Coast by Wednesday.
305
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:47,263
There's a horse running at
Santa Anita named Paradisiacal.
306
00:21:47,348 --> 00:21:49,933
- Means dough to me if I'm running.
- We'll make it all right.
307
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:54,688
[Al narrating] He did most of the talking
during the half hour we were in the place.
308
00:21:54,772 --> 00:21:55,772
I ate.
309
00:21:56,857 --> 00:22:01,027
He rambled on about his old man, who he hadn't
heard from since he ran away as a kid,
310
00:22:01,112 --> 00:22:02,946
and how he happened to become a bookie,
311
00:22:03,030 --> 00:22:05,740
and then all about how he got rooked in Miami.
312
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:08,660
One race, 38 grand.
They cleaned out my book.
313
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:11,079
- How do you like that?
- That was tough luck.
314
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:13,164
Yeah, and I'm supposed to be the smart guy.
315
00:22:13,249 --> 00:22:16,543
You just wait. I'm going back to Florida
next season with all kinds of jack.
316
00:22:16,627 --> 00:22:18,586
And you watch those stinkers run for cover.
317
00:22:19,547 --> 00:22:21,965
- Want anything else?
- No, thanks, I've had plenty.
318
00:22:27,638 --> 00:22:29,556
- The check there, sister?
- Mm-hmm.
319
00:22:32,601 --> 00:22:34,519
Oh, just a minute. Your change, sir.
320
00:22:34,603 --> 00:22:37,272
- Keep it, sister.
- Oh, thank you, sir. Call again.
321
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,190
I'll be waitin' outside for you
when you finish work.
322
00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:40,400
[chuckles]
323
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:41,776
Sharp chick, huh?
324
00:22:49,952 --> 00:22:52,912
[Al narrating] I drove all that night
while Haskell slept like a log.
325
00:22:53,581 --> 00:22:56,416
After a while, I began to get sleepy myself.
326
00:22:57,835 --> 00:23:01,671
I was happy though.
Soon I'd be with Sue again.
327
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:03,214
The long trip was practically over,
328
00:23:03,299 --> 00:23:06,009
and there'd be no more hoofing it
down the concrete.
329
00:23:06,761 --> 00:23:08,928
I began to think of the future,
330
00:23:09,013 --> 00:23:12,098
which couldn't have been brighter
if I'd embroidered it with neon lights.
331
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,226
It was nice to think of Sue shooting to the top.
332
00:23:16,437 --> 00:23:20,356
[chuckles] It's amazing what a full belly
can do to your imagination.
333
00:23:20,566 --> 00:23:23,276
[romantic ballad]
334
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:28,156
# Your eyes are blue
Your kisses too #
335
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,577
# I never knew what they could do #
336
00:23:32,661 --> 00:23:39,667
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
337
00:23:41,045 --> 00:23:45,632
# You're telling everyone you know #
338
00:23:45,716 --> 00:23:50,095
# I'm on your mind each place you go #
339
00:23:50,179 --> 00:23:56,017
# I can't believe that you're in love #
340
00:23:56,352 --> 00:24:02,690
# With me #
341
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:12,951
Mr. Haskell.
342
00:24:14,703 --> 00:24:15,703
Mr. Haskell?
343
00:24:18,833 --> 00:24:20,875
Mr. Haskell, wake up! It's raining.
344
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,002
Don't you think we ought to stop
and put up the top?
345
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:33,263
Mr. Haskell, I'm gonna put up the top.
346
00:24:48,154 --> 00:24:50,029
[Al narrating] Until then,
I'd done things my way.
347
00:24:50,531 --> 00:24:52,699
But from then on, something else
stepped in and shunted me off
348
00:24:52,783 --> 00:24:55,535
to a different destination
than the one I had picked for myself.
349
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:58,329
For when I pulled open that door...
350
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:05,170
Mr. Haskell, what's the matter?
Are you hurt?
351
00:25:06,255 --> 00:25:07,547
Are you hurt, Mr. Haskell?
352
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:11,467
[Al narrating]
Start your sermon. I'll listen to it.
353
00:25:12,219 --> 00:25:15,013
But I know what you're gonna hand me
even before you open your mouths.
354
00:25:15,598 --> 00:25:18,016
You're gonna tell me you don't believe
my story of how Haskell died
355
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:21,352
and give me that "don't make me laugh"
expression on your smug faces.
356
00:25:24,815 --> 00:25:26,357
I saw at once he was dead.
357
00:25:26,692 --> 00:25:28,193
And I was in for it.
358
00:25:28,277 --> 00:25:30,111
Who would believe he fell out of the car?
359
00:25:30,196 --> 00:25:31,738
If Haskell came to, which,
of course, he couldn't,
360
00:25:31,822 --> 00:25:34,240
even he would swear
I conked him over the head for his dough.
361
00:25:34,325 --> 00:25:35,491
Yes, I was in for it.
362
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:39,829
Instinct told me to run,
but then I realized it was hopeless.
363
00:25:39,914 --> 00:25:41,998
There were lots of people back down the road
who could identify me.
364
00:25:42,082 --> 00:25:44,000
That gas station guy and the waitress.
365
00:25:44,084 --> 00:25:46,419
I would be in a worse spot then
trying to explain why I beat it.
366
00:25:47,504 --> 00:25:50,381
The next possibility was to sit tight
and tell the truth when the cops came.
367
00:25:50,466 --> 00:25:53,176
But that would be crazy.
They'd laugh at the truth.
368
00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:54,552
And I'd have my head in a noose.
369
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:59,807
So what else was there to do
but hide the body and get away in the car?
370
00:25:59,892 --> 00:26:02,101
I couldn't leave the car there
with him in the gully.
371
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:03,937
That would be like erecting a tombstone.
372
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:35,385
My idea was to cover him with brush,
not to rob him.
373
00:26:35,636 --> 00:26:38,304
But then I remembered that even if
I only drove the car for 100 miles or so,
374
00:26:38,389 --> 00:26:39,722
I would need money for gas.
375
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:44,060
Besides, it was stupid of me
to leave all that money on a dead man.
376
00:26:45,145 --> 00:26:47,188
Not only that,
I'd have to take his driver's license
377
00:26:47,273 --> 00:26:48,690
in case I was stopped for something.
378
00:26:50,901 --> 00:26:52,235
I didn't like to think about it,
379
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,821
but by that time I'd done
just what the police would say I did.
380
00:26:54,905 --> 00:26:57,740
Even if I didn't... My clothes.
381
00:26:58,367 --> 00:27:00,618
The owner of such an expensive car
would never be wearing them.
382
00:27:01,662 --> 00:27:03,246
Some cop might pull me in on suspicion.
383
00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,802
[motorcycle approaches]
384
00:27:28,939 --> 00:27:30,231
Hey, you. This your car?
385
00:27:30,941 --> 00:27:33,943
Don't you know better than to leave a car
with the wheels halfway in the middle of the road?
386
00:27:34,028 --> 00:27:35,403
That's the way accidents happen.
387
00:27:35,612 --> 00:27:38,614
I... I'm sorry, Officer.
I was just putting up my top.
388
00:27:38,699 --> 00:27:41,367
- I didn't think.
- Well, the next time, think.
389
00:27:41,452 --> 00:27:43,911
I'll let you go now,
but watch your step in the future.
390
00:27:43,996 --> 00:27:46,414
I know that it's a lonely stretch,
but cars come by here once in a while.
391
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:49,334
- We have plenty of crack-ups.
- Thanks, Officer.
392
00:28:13,067 --> 00:28:15,777
[Al narrating] I left nothing in the car
that'd give me away as Roberts.
393
00:28:15,861 --> 00:28:18,529
If they found a dead man in the gully now,
it could be me.
394
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:28,122
As I drove off, it was still raining.
395
00:28:29,083 --> 00:28:31,876
The drops streaked
down the windshield like tears.
396
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:36,381
I kept imagining I was being followed,
397
00:28:36,465 --> 00:28:38,341
that I could hear sirens
back in the distance.
398
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,471
Just how long it took to cover the 60-odd
miles to the California state line,
399
00:28:43,555 --> 00:28:44,555
I don't know.
400
00:28:45,057 --> 00:28:46,641
I lost all track of time.
401
00:28:47,351 --> 00:28:51,270
But the rain had stopped and the sun was up
when I pulled up to the inspection station.
402
00:28:55,859 --> 00:28:56,692
Hello.
403
00:28:57,653 --> 00:28:59,946
- Carrying any fruits or vegetables?
- No.
404
00:29:00,030 --> 00:29:02,198
- Any livestock or poultry?
- No.
405
00:29:02,282 --> 00:29:03,741
[footsteps approaching]
406
00:29:03,826 --> 00:29:06,202
I'd like to see your registration
and driver's license, please.
407
00:29:10,749 --> 00:29:13,251
- Anything in the baggage compartment?
- Just baggage.
408
00:29:15,212 --> 00:29:18,548
Charles Haskell Jr.
Age 30, brown eyes, dark hair.
409
00:29:18,841 --> 00:29:20,216
Identifying marks, none.
410
00:29:20,884 --> 00:29:23,094
- Are you Charles Haskell Jr.?
- Yes.
411
00:29:23,178 --> 00:29:25,263
Well, remember, if you're employed,
and you stay over 30 days,
412
00:29:25,347 --> 00:29:27,223
you take out California plates.
413
00:29:27,307 --> 00:29:29,517
All right, Officer, but I'll only be
in the state a short while.
414
00:29:31,186 --> 00:29:32,270
Right. You can go now.
415
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:42,113
[Al narrating] I couldn't drive any farther
without some sleep.
416
00:29:42,197 --> 00:29:45,783
Cops or no cops, I knew
I had to hit the hay and hit it hard.
417
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,203
I was dead tired.
418
00:30:20,027 --> 00:30:20,943
No.
419
00:30:21,820 --> 00:30:23,362
No, you can't, Mr. Haskell.
420
00:30:24,323 --> 00:30:25,156
No.
421
00:30:32,706 --> 00:30:35,374
Mr. Haskell, you can't die.
422
00:30:36,502 --> 00:30:39,128
They'll think... They'll think I did it.
423
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:42,173
No, Mr. Haskell.
424
00:30:42,591 --> 00:30:44,717
No, no...
425
00:30:48,722 --> 00:30:49,805
[knocks]
426
00:30:54,019 --> 00:30:55,603
[knocking continues]
427
00:30:59,358 --> 00:31:00,233
Who's there?
428
00:31:00,317 --> 00:31:02,610
It's the maid. Can I come in and clean?
429
00:31:03,820 --> 00:31:06,322
Later... in a half-hour.
430
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:07,490
All right, sir.
431
00:31:32,057 --> 00:31:33,599
[Al narrating] There was no time to lose.
432
00:31:33,684 --> 00:31:36,227
Every minute I had to be Charles Haskell
was dangerous.
433
00:31:36,311 --> 00:31:38,521
I'd have to be Charles Haskell
until I got to some city
434
00:31:38,605 --> 00:31:40,648
where I could leave the car
and be swallowed up.
435
00:31:46,238 --> 00:31:48,864
That meant driving the car
as far as San Bernardino,
436
00:31:48,949 --> 00:31:50,491
maybe even to Los Angeles.
437
00:31:50,576 --> 00:31:52,451
In a little town, I might be noticed.
438
00:31:52,536 --> 00:31:54,328
But in a city, I should be safe enough.
439
00:31:55,581 --> 00:31:58,666
Then, after I ditched the car,
I could go on to Sue.
440
00:31:59,585 --> 00:32:02,545
But those five minutes at the state line
made me realize
441
00:32:02,629 --> 00:32:05,631
it might be a good idea to find out
a little bit about Mr. Haskell.
442
00:32:06,633 --> 00:32:09,302
Then if anybody asked me questions,
I could give the right answers.
443
00:32:10,345 --> 00:32:13,806
The first thing I found out
was that I had $768.
444
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:17,768
This was a lot of jack, but believe me,
445
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:19,895
it was the kind of money
I'd rather not have.
446
00:32:27,446 --> 00:32:31,115
And then I found out from a letter
Haskell was carting around in his bag
447
00:32:31,199 --> 00:32:33,784
that he wasn't the openhanded,
easygoing big shot
448
00:32:33,869 --> 00:32:36,412
who went around buying dinners
for strange hitchhikers.
449
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:39,832
Before I got done reading it,
I saw him more as a chiseler.
450
00:32:41,209 --> 00:32:43,836
It was written
to his old man in California,
451
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,796
the one he hadn't seen in so many years.
452
00:32:46,590 --> 00:32:51,385
In it, Haskell posed as a salesman...
of hymnals, of all things.
453
00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:54,388
It was easy to see where Haskell expected
454
00:32:54,473 --> 00:32:56,849
to raise a new stake
for his book in Miami...
455
00:32:57,684 --> 00:32:59,143
by rooking his old man.
456
00:33:00,771 --> 00:33:03,689
That was about all I found out
from his effects.
457
00:33:03,774 --> 00:33:04,857
And it was enough.
458
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:09,737
I told myself maybe old man Haskell
was lucky his son kicked off.
459
00:33:10,864 --> 00:33:12,531
He would never know it,
460
00:33:12,616 --> 00:33:16,077
but it saved him from taking a flier
in sacred literature preferred.
461
00:33:22,793 --> 00:33:24,377
[birds chirping]
462
00:33:41,186 --> 00:33:43,979
Near the airport at Desert Center,
I pulled up for water.
463
00:33:45,607 --> 00:33:46,691
There was a woman.
464
00:33:51,321 --> 00:33:53,614
Hey, you. Come on if you want a ride.
465
00:34:07,587 --> 00:34:08,587
[car hood slams]
466
00:34:39,995 --> 00:34:41,662
How far you goin'?
467
00:34:41,747 --> 00:34:43,122
How far are you going?
468
00:34:43,749 --> 00:34:46,792
[Al narrating] That took me by surprise.
I turned my head to look her over.
469
00:34:47,836 --> 00:34:50,588
She was facing straight ahead,
so I couldn't see her eyes.
470
00:34:51,006 --> 00:34:53,758
But she was young, not more than 24.
471
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:56,844
Man, she looked as if
she'd just been thrown off
472
00:34:56,928 --> 00:34:59,305
the crummiest freight train in the world.
473
00:35:00,140 --> 00:35:02,641
Yet, in spite of this,
I got the impression of beauty.
474
00:35:03,727 --> 00:35:06,020
Not the beauty of a movie actress,
mind you,
475
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,689
or the beauty you dream about
when you're with your wife,
476
00:35:08,774 --> 00:35:10,065
but a natural beauty,
477
00:35:10,567 --> 00:35:13,194
a beauty that's almost homely
because it's so real.
478
00:35:15,363 --> 00:35:17,114
Then, suddenly, she turned to face me.
479
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:20,409
- How far did you say you were going?
- Los Angeles.
480
00:35:20,494 --> 00:35:21,410
LA?
481
00:35:22,287 --> 00:35:25,790
- LA's good enough for me, mister.
- That's what I was afraid of.
482
00:35:25,874 --> 00:35:29,084
- What'd you say?
- Oh, nothing. Just thinking out loud.
483
00:35:29,169 --> 00:35:31,128
People get in trouble for doing that.
484
00:35:32,005 --> 00:35:34,715
- What's your name?
- You can call me Vera, if you like.
485
00:35:35,509 --> 00:35:37,176
- You live in Los Angeles?
- No.
486
00:35:39,054 --> 00:35:41,555
- Where you coming from?
- Oh, back there.
487
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,098
- Needles?
- No.
488
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:47,102
Oh, sure. Phoenix.
You look just like a Phoenix girl.
489
00:35:47,687 --> 00:35:49,855
- Are the girls in Phoenix that bad?
- [chuckles]
490
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:51,774
[Al narrating]
The girl must have been pretty tired
491
00:35:51,858 --> 00:35:54,944
because she fell asleep not 20 minutes
after she stepped into the car.
492
00:35:55,737 --> 00:35:59,782
She lay sprawled out with her head resting
against the far door, like Haskell.
493
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:03,452
I didn't like that part of it much,
but I didn't wake her up.
494
00:36:04,955 --> 00:36:06,872
It wasn't that this girl still worried me.
495
00:36:07,374 --> 00:36:10,376
I'd gotten over that funny feeling
I had when she looked at me,
496
00:36:10,460 --> 00:36:13,003
which I put down
as just my jangled nerves.
497
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:16,590
With her eyes closed
and the tenseness gone out of her,
498
00:36:16,675 --> 00:36:18,133
she seemed harmless enough.
499
00:36:18,885 --> 00:36:21,929
Instead of disliking her,
I began to feel sorry for her.
500
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:25,182
The poor kid probably
had had a rough time of it.
501
00:36:26,476 --> 00:36:27,977
Who was she, anyway?
502
00:36:28,061 --> 00:36:30,479
And why was she going to Los Angeles?
503
00:36:30,564 --> 00:36:32,898
And where'd she come from
in the first place?
504
00:36:32,983 --> 00:36:34,775
The only thing I knew about her
was her name.
505
00:36:35,777 --> 00:36:37,361
Not that it made any difference.
506
00:36:37,445 --> 00:36:39,738
A few hours more and we'd be in Hollywood.
507
00:36:39,823 --> 00:36:42,241
I'd forget where I parked the car
and look up Sue.
508
00:36:43,118 --> 00:36:45,286
This nightmare of being a dead man
would be over.
509
00:36:46,121 --> 00:36:48,831
Who this dame was, well,
it was no business of mine.
510
00:36:48,915 --> 00:36:52,918
Where did you leave his body?
Where did you leave the owner of this car?
511
00:36:53,003 --> 00:36:54,712
You're not fooling anyone.
512
00:36:55,297 --> 00:36:58,173
This buggy belongs to a guy named Haskell.
That's not you, mister.
513
00:36:58,258 --> 00:37:01,343
You're out of your mind. That's my name.
Charles Haskell. I can prove it.
514
00:37:01,428 --> 00:37:03,512
- Here's my driver's license.
- Save yourself the trouble, mister.
515
00:37:03,597 --> 00:37:05,848
Having Haskell's wallet
only makes it worse.
516
00:37:05,932 --> 00:37:08,017
It just so happens
I rode with Charlie Haskell
517
00:37:08,101 --> 00:37:09,685
all the way from Louisiana.
518
00:37:09,769 --> 00:37:11,854
He picked me up outside of Shreveport.
519
00:37:11,938 --> 00:37:13,564
- You rode...
- You heard me.
520
00:37:14,149 --> 00:37:15,983
[Al narrating] Then it all came back to me.
521
00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:18,652
All the talk about dueling
and scars and scratches.
522
00:37:19,613 --> 00:37:21,363
There was no doubt about it.
523
00:37:21,448 --> 00:37:23,949
Vera must be the woman
Haskell had mentioned.
524
00:37:24,034 --> 00:37:25,784
She must have passed me while I slept.
525
00:37:25,869 --> 00:37:28,871
Well? Well, I'm waiting.
526
00:37:28,955 --> 00:37:30,331
My goose was cooked.
527
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:32,082
She had me.
528
00:37:32,876 --> 00:37:34,668
That Haskell guy wasn't dead yet.
529
00:37:35,253 --> 00:37:38,172
He wasn't stretched out stiff and cold
in any Arizona gully.
530
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:41,425
He was sitting right there in the car,
laughing like mad while he haunted me.
531
00:37:43,345 --> 00:37:44,303
Well?
532
00:37:44,387 --> 00:37:47,514
There was nothing I could say.
It was her move.
533
00:37:48,224 --> 00:37:50,142
Vera, whatever her name was.
534
00:37:50,226 --> 00:37:52,478
It was just my luck
picking her up on the road.
535
00:37:53,313 --> 00:37:56,148
It couldn't have been Helen
or Mary or Evelyn or Ruth.
536
00:37:57,025 --> 00:37:59,526
It had to be the very last person
I should ever have met.
537
00:38:00,820 --> 00:38:01,820
That's life.
538
00:38:02,697 --> 00:38:05,491
Whichever way you turn,
fate sticks out a foot to trip you.
539
00:38:11,081 --> 00:38:13,457
I told her everything,
but she didn't believe my story.
540
00:38:13,541 --> 00:38:15,167
I should've saved my breath.
541
00:38:15,251 --> 00:38:17,670
That's the greatest cock-and-bull story
I ever heard.
542
00:38:17,754 --> 00:38:19,380
So he fell out of his car.
543
00:38:19,464 --> 00:38:21,507
Say, who do you think
you're talking to, a hick?
544
00:38:21,591 --> 00:38:23,592
Listen, mister. I've been around.
545
00:38:23,677 --> 00:38:27,054
And I know a wrong guy when I see one.
What'd you do, kiss him with a wrench?
546
00:38:27,138 --> 00:38:29,264
Now wait a minute.
What I told you was true.
547
00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:30,891
You see, that's why I had to do it.
548
00:38:30,976 --> 00:38:33,352
You think I killed him.
Well, the cops would've thought so too.
549
00:38:33,436 --> 00:38:35,187
Yeah, well maybe they still think so.
550
00:38:36,106 --> 00:38:38,482
What makes you so sure
I'll shut up about this?
551
00:38:38,566 --> 00:38:41,318
Vera, I'm innocent.
Give me a break, will you?
552
00:38:42,696 --> 00:38:44,488
It won't do me any good
having you pinched.
553
00:38:44,572 --> 00:38:46,115
The cops are no friends of mine.
554
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:49,076
Now, if there was a reward...
But there isn't.
555
00:38:49,703 --> 00:38:51,912
- Thanks.
- Don't thank me yet.
556
00:38:51,997 --> 00:38:55,332
I'm not through with you by a long shot.
Let's see that roll.
557
00:39:02,090 --> 00:39:03,674
Is that all Haskell had?
558
00:39:03,758 --> 00:39:05,509
- Isn't it enough?
- No, I thought he had more.
559
00:39:05,593 --> 00:39:07,845
Not that I know of. You can search me
if you think I'm holding out on you.
560
00:39:07,929 --> 00:39:09,596
Well, maybe I will at that.
561
00:39:09,681 --> 00:39:11,807
He told me he was gonna bet $3,000
562
00:39:11,891 --> 00:39:14,560
on a horse named Paradisiacal
on Wednesday at Santa Anita.
563
00:39:14,644 --> 00:39:16,979
- He was stringing you along. He meant 300.
- Maybe.
564
00:39:17,063 --> 00:39:20,357
Sure. Three bucks, 300.
He was a piece of cheese, a big blowhard.
565
00:39:20,442 --> 00:39:23,277
Listen, mister. Don't try and tell me
anything about Charlie Haskell.
566
00:39:23,361 --> 00:39:25,279
Remember, I knew him better than you did.
567
00:39:25,363 --> 00:39:28,073
Okay, then you knew he was a four-flusher.
That explains the three-grand bet.
568
00:39:28,158 --> 00:39:30,576
I'm not so sure
he didn't have that three grand.
569
00:39:30,660 --> 00:39:34,121
Why should I believe you?
You got all the earmarks of a cheap crook.
570
00:39:34,205 --> 00:39:35,622
- Now, wait a minute.
- Shut up.
571
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:37,207
You're a cheap crook and you killed him.
572
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:39,418
For two cents,
I'd change my mind and turn you in.
573
00:39:39,502 --> 00:39:40,794
I don't like you!
574
00:39:40,879 --> 00:39:43,338
- All right, all right. Don't get sore.
- I'm not getting sore.
575
00:39:43,423 --> 00:39:45,507
But just remember who's boss around here.
576
00:39:45,592 --> 00:39:47,134
If you shut up
and don't give me any arguments,
577
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:48,677
you'll have nothing to worry about.
578
00:39:48,762 --> 00:39:50,512
But if you act wise, well, mister,
579
00:39:50,597 --> 00:39:53,182
you'll pop into jail so fast
it'll give you the bends.
580
00:39:53,266 --> 00:39:55,059
- I'm not arguing.
- Well, see that you don't.
581
00:39:55,143 --> 00:39:56,477
You know, as crooked as you look,
582
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:59,605
I'd hate to see a fella as young as you
wind up sniffing that perfume
583
00:39:59,689 --> 00:40:01,482
that Arizona hands out free to murderers.
584
00:40:01,566 --> 00:40:03,233
- I'm not a murderer.
- Of course you're not.
585
00:40:03,318 --> 00:40:04,693
Haskell knocked his own head off.
586
00:40:04,778 --> 00:40:06,278
He fell. That's how it happened,
just like I told you.
587
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:08,530
Sure, and then he made you a present
of his belongings.
588
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:10,324
- I explained why...
- Oh, skip it.
589
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:13,118
Doesn't make a difference one way
or another. I'm not a mourner.
590
00:40:13,203 --> 00:40:15,412
I liked Haskell even less than I like you.
591
00:40:15,955 --> 00:40:17,372
Yeah, I saw what you did to him.
592
00:40:17,457 --> 00:40:19,541
- What do you mean?
- Those scratches on his wrists.
593
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:20,959
Sure, I scratched him.
594
00:40:21,961 --> 00:40:23,128
I'll say you did.
595
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:26,673
So your idea was
to drive the car a little way,
596
00:40:26,758 --> 00:40:28,967
maybe into San Bernardino,
and then leave it.
597
00:40:29,052 --> 00:40:30,385
You weren't gonna sell it?
598
00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:33,597
Sell it? You think I'm crazy?
Somebody else's car?
599
00:40:33,681 --> 00:40:36,266
All I wanna do is leave it somewhere
and forget I ever saw it.
600
00:40:36,351 --> 00:40:39,269
Not only don't you have any scruples,
you don't have any brains.
601
00:40:39,354 --> 00:40:42,022
- I don't get you.
- Maybe it's a good thing you met me.
602
00:40:42,107 --> 00:40:44,983
You would of got yourself caught, sure.
Why, you dope.
603
00:40:45,068 --> 00:40:48,362
Don't you know a deserted automobile
always rates an investigation?
604
00:40:48,696 --> 00:40:49,863
Huh?
605
00:40:49,948 --> 00:40:52,783
Look. The cops find a car.
Then they get curious.
606
00:40:52,867 --> 00:40:54,493
They wonder where the owner is.
607
00:40:54,577 --> 00:40:57,996
So, all right, they don't trace Haskell.
They trace you.
608
00:40:58,206 --> 00:40:59,790
I never thought of that.
609
00:40:59,874 --> 00:41:02,626
The only safe way to get rid of the car
is to sell it to a dealer,
610
00:41:02,710 --> 00:41:04,253
get it registered under a new name.
611
00:41:04,754 --> 00:41:06,004
Say, stop at the next store.
612
00:41:06,089 --> 00:41:08,882
I wanna get a bottle and do some shopping
before we hit LA.
613
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:12,219
Okay. Soon as we find a place,
I'll drop you off and pick you up later.
614
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:14,429
Nothin' doin'. You're coming in too.
615
00:41:14,514 --> 00:41:17,349
From now on,
you and I are like the Siamese twins.
616
00:41:17,433 --> 00:41:19,434
Have it your way,
but I don't get the point.
617
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:21,687
The point is I don't want you to get lost.
618
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:23,397
I'm not gonna beat it,
if that's what you're afraid of.
619
00:41:23,481 --> 00:41:24,648
I'll say you're not.
620
00:41:24,732 --> 00:41:27,568
Well, I'm gonna see that you sell this car
so you don't get caught.
621
00:41:27,652 --> 00:41:31,446
Thanks. Of course, your interest
wouldn't be financial, would it?
622
00:41:31,531 --> 00:41:33,699
You wouldn't want
a small percentage of the profits?
623
00:41:34,284 --> 00:41:37,202
Well, now that you insist,
how can I refuse?
624
00:41:37,287 --> 00:41:38,912
A hundred percent'll do.
625
00:41:38,997 --> 00:41:40,873
Fine. I'm relieved.
626
00:41:40,957 --> 00:41:43,208
I thought for a moment
you were gonna take it all.
627
00:41:43,293 --> 00:41:44,710
I don't want to be a hog.
628
00:41:46,588 --> 00:41:48,672
[Al narrating] A few hours later,
we were in Hollywood.
629
00:41:49,090 --> 00:41:51,466
I was recognizing places
Sue had written about.
630
00:41:52,051 --> 00:41:55,012
It struck me that,
far from being at the end of the trip,
631
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:58,098
there was a greater distance between Sue
and me than when I started out.
632
00:41:59,434 --> 00:42:02,060
Vera wasn't kidding
with that Siamese twins crack.
633
00:42:02,687 --> 00:42:06,106
She rented a little apartment
as Mrs. Charles Haskell.
634
00:42:07,025 --> 00:42:10,110
When I objected to this, she explained
that it was on account of the car.
635
00:42:10,612 --> 00:42:12,154
A dealer might think something was funny
636
00:42:12,238 --> 00:42:14,531
if he called and found
we were using different names.
637
00:42:19,704 --> 00:42:21,538
- Home, sweet home.
- Yeah.
638
00:42:22,457 --> 00:42:23,498
Not bad, either.
639
00:42:31,466 --> 00:42:33,842
In case there's any doubt in your mind,
I'll take the bedroom.
640
00:42:34,302 --> 00:42:35,177
Yeah.
641
00:42:36,471 --> 00:42:37,846
Sure is stuffy in here.
642
00:42:45,980 --> 00:42:47,689
- Keep the window shut.
- Okay.
643
00:42:50,026 --> 00:42:53,487
The old crow downstairs said
there's a folding bed behind this door.
644
00:42:59,535 --> 00:43:00,702
You know how to work it?
645
00:43:04,457 --> 00:43:05,540
I invented it.
646
00:43:09,504 --> 00:43:11,630
- Some joint.
- One can't have everything.
647
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,387
I'm first in the bathtub.
648
00:43:19,180 --> 00:43:22,140
I don't know why,
but I figured you would be.
649
00:43:31,985 --> 00:43:35,570
Boy, oh, boy. [sighs]
It sure feels good to be clean again.
650
00:43:36,948 --> 00:43:38,407
I must be ten pounds lighter.
651
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:40,450
You must be.
652
00:43:40,535 --> 00:43:42,077
[saxophone playing]
653
00:43:42,161 --> 00:43:45,372
Well, hitchin' rides isn't exactly the way
you keep your schoolgirl complexion.
654
00:43:49,585 --> 00:43:51,712
I wish that guy with the sax
would give up.
655
00:43:53,089 --> 00:43:54,423
It gets on my nerves.
656
00:43:56,509 --> 00:43:57,509
Forget it.
657
00:44:00,138 --> 00:44:01,179
Have a drink.
658
00:44:02,390 --> 00:44:04,141
Aren't you afraid
I'm gonna take you up on it?
659
00:44:06,269 --> 00:44:08,562
If I didn't wanna give you a drink,
I wouldn't have offered it.
660
00:44:09,731 --> 00:44:12,983
Why be a sorehead, Roberts?
You got yourself into this thing.
661
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:15,902
You should be grateful
I'm not turning you in.
662
00:44:16,904 --> 00:44:19,114
Why, if I wasn't regular,
you'd be in the pen this minute
663
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:22,284
being photographed, fingerprinted,
and being pushed around by the cops.
664
00:44:23,077 --> 00:44:25,620
So cheer up. Get rid of that long puss.
665
00:44:27,874 --> 00:44:29,666
Or is your conscience bothering you?
666
00:44:34,672 --> 00:44:35,505
No.
667
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:37,382
It isn't.
668
00:44:37,467 --> 00:44:39,468
Swell. That's the spirit.
669
00:44:41,012 --> 00:44:43,180
He's dead,
and no moaning around will bring him back.
670
00:44:46,684 --> 00:44:50,312
Anyway, I never could understand this worrying
about something that's over and done with.
671
00:44:50,396 --> 00:44:52,439
Now look, Vera.
For the last time, I didn't kill him.
672
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:53,982
Haskell was a sick man.
673
00:44:54,067 --> 00:44:56,109
Maybe he was dead before he fell
out of the car. I don't know.
674
00:44:56,194 --> 00:44:58,403
Sure, sure. He died of old age.
675
00:44:59,364 --> 00:45:00,364
All right.
676
00:45:01,324 --> 00:45:02,824
So if it'll make you sociable...
677
00:45:04,577 --> 00:45:05,827
you didn't kill him.
678
00:45:16,464 --> 00:45:17,297
Thanks.
679
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:31,186
- We're outta liquor, Roberts.
- Yeah.
680
00:45:32,313 --> 00:45:35,440
Too bad.
I felt like getting tight tonight.
681
00:45:35,525 --> 00:45:37,567
Well, I think you succeeded.
682
00:45:37,652 --> 00:45:40,737
- Am I tight?
- As a prima donna's corset.
683
00:45:40,822 --> 00:45:42,197
- That's good.
- [glass clatters]
684
00:45:42,281 --> 00:45:44,074
I wanted to get tight.
685
00:45:44,158 --> 00:45:46,785
Why? What have you got to get tight about?
686
00:45:46,869 --> 00:45:49,246
Oh, I don't know. A few things.
687
00:45:50,123 --> 00:45:50,956
[Al] Huh.
688
00:45:52,583 --> 00:45:54,042
You should have my worries.
689
00:45:54,127 --> 00:45:56,670
If I had your troubles, I'd stay sober.
690
00:45:56,754 --> 00:45:58,380
And I've got the key to that door.
691
00:46:01,926 --> 00:46:04,678
Yeah. Maybe you're right.
692
00:46:04,762 --> 00:46:06,388
I'm always right.
693
00:46:07,723 --> 00:46:10,183
You know, I don't like your attitude,
Roberts.
694
00:46:10,268 --> 00:46:12,018
Well, there's a lot of things I don't like.
695
00:46:13,479 --> 00:46:14,813
Say...
696
00:46:17,191 --> 00:46:19,276
But life's like a ball game.
697
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,111
You got to take a swing
at whatever comes along
698
00:46:21,195 --> 00:46:23,613
before you wake up
and find it's the ninth inning.
699
00:46:24,532 --> 00:46:25,782
Bet you read that somewhere.
700
00:46:25,867 --> 00:46:29,703
That's the trouble with you, Roberts.
All you do is bellyache.
701
00:46:30,788 --> 00:46:35,500
You could have taken it easy and,
well, try and make the best of things.
702
00:46:35,585 --> 00:46:38,378
But maybe that's what's wrong
with the whole world.
703
00:46:38,463 --> 00:46:40,297
Get the professor.
704
00:46:40,381 --> 00:46:43,133
People knock themselves out
trying to buck fate.
705
00:46:43,217 --> 00:46:46,386
Now take you, for instance.
You're lucky to be alive.
706
00:46:46,471 --> 00:46:49,055
Why, suppose Haskell had pulled open
your door?
707
00:46:49,140 --> 00:46:51,850
You'd be playing a harp now.
Think of that.
708
00:46:53,603 --> 00:46:56,855
You think of it. I'm tired of thinking.
709
00:46:56,939 --> 00:46:59,816
There's plenty of people dying this minute
710
00:46:59,901 --> 00:47:02,402
that would give anything
to trade places with you.
711
00:47:04,363 --> 00:47:05,989
I know what I'm talking about.
712
00:47:07,033 --> 00:47:10,744
I'm not so sure.
At least they know they're done for.
713
00:47:10,828 --> 00:47:13,580
They don't just sweat blood
wondering if they are.
714
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:16,750
Your philosophy stinks, pal.
715
00:47:18,002 --> 00:47:21,796
We all know we're gonna kick off someday.
It's only a question of when.
716
00:47:23,591 --> 00:47:26,551
But what got us on this subject anyway?
717
00:47:26,636 --> 00:47:28,553
We'll be discussing politics next.
718
00:47:29,388 --> 00:47:30,472
Yeah.
719
00:47:32,058 --> 00:47:33,433
Where'd you hide the butts?
720
00:47:34,310 --> 00:47:35,936
On the table, sucker.
721
00:47:43,611 --> 00:47:47,113
[Al narrating] We bored each other with
conversation for a couple of hours longer.
722
00:47:47,198 --> 00:47:50,408
Every five minutes, one of us was wishing
we had another bottle or a radio
723
00:47:50,493 --> 00:47:52,118
or something to read.
724
00:47:53,538 --> 00:47:55,247
Then finally we ran out of chat.
725
00:47:56,207 --> 00:47:57,499
I know it's only eleven o'clock,
726
00:47:57,583 --> 00:48:00,085
but I want to get up early
and make the rounds to the used car lots.
727
00:48:00,169 --> 00:48:03,088
No hurry about that.
We got all the time in the world.
728
00:48:03,172 --> 00:48:05,257
Maybe you have, but if you think
I want to stay cooped up in this place
729
00:48:05,341 --> 00:48:06,925
any longer than I have to, you're batty.
730
00:48:07,009 --> 00:48:10,262
It's not a bad place. Pay plenty
for diggings like this in New York.
731
00:48:10,346 --> 00:48:12,347
I wouldn't like it if it was the Ritz.
732
00:48:12,431 --> 00:48:14,849
[coughs]
733
00:48:16,602 --> 00:48:18,144
Rotten liquor. [coughs]
734
00:48:18,229 --> 00:48:20,981
You got a mean cough.
Ought to do something about it.
735
00:48:21,065 --> 00:48:22,315
I'll be all right.
736
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,817
That's what Camille said.
737
00:48:24,527 --> 00:48:25,652
Who?
738
00:48:25,736 --> 00:48:27,195
Nobody you know.
739
00:48:30,908 --> 00:48:33,368
- Wasn't that the dame that died of consumption?
- Yeah.
740
00:48:34,704 --> 00:48:37,289
Wouldn't it be a break for you
if I did kick off.
741
00:48:37,373 --> 00:48:40,333
You'd be free
with all Haskell's dough and car.
742
00:48:40,418 --> 00:48:42,043
I don't want to see anybody die.
743
00:48:43,212 --> 00:48:44,921
Not even me?
744
00:48:45,006 --> 00:48:48,008
Especially not you. One person died on me.
745
00:48:48,092 --> 00:48:50,510
If you did, well, that's all I need.
746
00:48:52,388 --> 00:48:54,222
You don't like me, do you, Roberts?
747
00:48:55,933 --> 00:48:56,975
Like you?
748
00:48:58,352 --> 00:48:59,769
I love you.
749
00:49:01,022 --> 00:49:02,981
My favorite sport is being kept prisoner.
750
00:49:04,025 --> 00:49:07,485
After we sell the car, you can go to blazes
for all I care, but not until then.
751
00:49:14,910 --> 00:49:16,536
I'm going to bed.
752
00:49:24,962 --> 00:49:26,463
Good night, Roberts.
753
00:49:26,547 --> 00:49:29,549
Don't try and sneak away during the night.
All the doors are locked.
754
00:49:29,634 --> 00:49:33,136
Anyway, if I find you gone in the morning,
I'll notify the police.
755
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:35,889
- They'll pick you up.
- Don't worry. I know when I'm in a spot.
756
00:49:36,974 --> 00:49:40,935
Well, good night. I hope that portable
rack isn't too uncomfortable for you.
757
00:49:41,020 --> 00:49:43,146
Don't lose any sleep over it,
will you, Vera?
758
00:49:44,940 --> 00:49:47,025
[key scratching lock]
759
00:50:20,601 --> 00:50:21,935
[softly] CRestview...
760
00:50:23,813 --> 00:50:29,651
6... 5... 7,
761
00:50:29,735 --> 00:50:32,654
[whispers] 2... 3.
762
00:50:33,948 --> 00:50:35,073
Hello?
763
00:50:36,117 --> 00:50:37,117
Hello!
764
00:50:38,327 --> 00:50:39,411
Hello?
765
00:50:40,579 --> 00:50:41,746
Hello?
766
00:50:48,295 --> 00:50:51,881
No. Not yet, darling.
767
00:50:53,134 --> 00:50:54,509
Tomorrow.
768
00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:56,928
Maybe.
769
00:51:00,391 --> 00:51:01,891
[Al narrating] if this were fiction,
770
00:51:01,976 --> 00:51:05,562
I would fall in love with her, marry her,
and make a respectable woman of her,
771
00:51:05,646 --> 00:51:09,816
or else she'd make some supreme,
class-A sacrifice for me and die.
772
00:51:11,152 --> 00:51:13,361
Sue and I would ball a little
over her grave
773
00:51:13,446 --> 00:51:16,448
and make some crack about
"there's good in all of us."
774
00:51:16,532 --> 00:51:20,160
But Vera, unfortunately,
was just as rotten in the morning
775
00:51:20,244 --> 00:51:21,870
as she'd been the night before.
776
00:51:21,954 --> 00:51:23,455
[knocking]
777
00:51:23,539 --> 00:51:25,415
All right, all right, I'm coming.
778
00:51:25,499 --> 00:51:27,459
[Al] Look, Vera, it's almost noon.
779
00:51:29,003 --> 00:51:31,254
So what?
The dealers will be there all day.
780
00:51:31,338 --> 00:51:34,007
They'll be there all year too, but it
doesn't mean I'm gonna wait that long.
781
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:36,551
Shut up.
You're making noises like a husband.
782
00:51:39,180 --> 00:51:42,932
- Well, do I rate a whistle?
- You sure do, but let's go.
783
00:51:43,017 --> 00:51:46,519
Let's go, let's go. I spend 85 bucks
and two hours preparing bait,
784
00:51:46,604 --> 00:51:48,188
and all you can say is "Let's go."
785
00:51:48,272 --> 00:51:51,274
[sighs] Come on.
786
00:51:56,071 --> 00:51:58,698
We passed a few used car lots
last night down this way.
787
00:51:58,783 --> 00:52:00,784
What do you think
we can get for this heap?
788
00:52:00,868 --> 00:52:04,496
I don't know. Plenty.
You just let me handle everything.
789
00:52:04,580 --> 00:52:06,206
You think we can get $2,000?
790
00:52:06,290 --> 00:52:07,707
I don't know. But don't worry.
791
00:52:07,792 --> 00:52:10,126
I'll squeeze as much
out of this guy as I can.
792
00:52:10,211 --> 00:52:13,296
If I let it go cheap without a fight,
he might think we've stolen the car.
793
00:52:13,380 --> 00:52:17,675
And listen, don't make any slips
and call me Roberts. That'll cook us.
794
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,636
I don't need you to tell me that.
795
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:21,930
You better just sit by
and keep your mouth closed.
796
00:52:22,014 --> 00:52:24,015
Remember, we're both in the soup
if anything happens.
797
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:25,642
Forget it and drive.
798
00:52:25,726 --> 00:52:28,144
You're my wife... Vera Haskell.
799
00:52:28,229 --> 00:52:32,315
Look, after the deal's closed, let's go
back to that place on Hollywood Boulevard
800
00:52:32,399 --> 00:52:33,942
where I saw the fur jacket.
801
00:52:34,026 --> 00:52:35,235
I want to buy it.
802
00:52:35,319 --> 00:52:37,987
After the deal's closed,
I'm saying good-bye to you.
803
00:52:38,072 --> 00:52:41,491
That's right. I forgot.
I guess I'm getting kind of used to you.
804
00:52:42,743 --> 00:52:45,036
Well, that's a habit
you can start breaking.
805
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,455
Let's try this place
in the middle of the block.
806
00:52:53,671 --> 00:52:55,129
Good afternoon. What can I do for you?
807
00:52:55,214 --> 00:52:58,508
- We're interested in selling a car.
- If the price is right.
808
00:53:01,387 --> 00:53:05,473
Well, if it's in good mechanical condition,
it should blue book for about 1,600.
809
00:53:06,475 --> 00:53:07,892
Tony, take a look at this motor.
810
00:53:07,977 --> 00:53:10,228
1,600. Are you kidding?
811
00:53:14,108 --> 00:53:15,900
[car hood opening]
812
00:53:21,448 --> 00:53:23,283
Well, maybe 1,850.
813
00:53:23,367 --> 00:53:26,744
Before I let it go for 1,850, I'll wreck it
and collect the insurance first.
814
00:53:26,829 --> 00:53:27,912
[coughs]
815
00:53:31,375 --> 00:53:33,376
Lady, this motor's seen a lot of driving.
816
00:53:39,925 --> 00:53:43,219
[Al narrating] While the mechanic
inspected the car, we haggled.
817
00:53:43,721 --> 00:53:46,973
At last, when we were all worn out,
we hit a compromise...
818
00:53:47,057 --> 00:53:48,600
his price.
819
00:53:51,896 --> 00:53:53,104
Okay, it's a deal.
820
00:53:53,188 --> 00:53:56,524
- Come in, we'll sign the papers.
- I have the ownership papers here with me.
821
00:53:56,609 --> 00:53:59,319
Look, Vera, in the meantime,
will you clean out the dash compartment?
822
00:53:59,403 --> 00:54:02,196
- There may be some stuff in it.
- All right, darling.
823
00:54:04,325 --> 00:54:06,534
1,850 bucks.
824
00:54:06,619 --> 00:54:08,244
That dirty cr...
825
00:54:15,544 --> 00:54:17,420
- Mm, New York, huh?
- Yeah.
826
00:54:17,504 --> 00:54:20,757
- But you bought the car in Miami?
- Yeah.
827
00:54:20,841 --> 00:54:22,467
Well, now, let's see about the insurance.
828
00:54:22,551 --> 00:54:24,552
We can either have it transferred
or canceled.
829
00:54:24,637 --> 00:54:27,263
Uh, what kind of insurance do you have,
Mr. Haskell?
830
00:54:28,432 --> 00:54:31,559
Well, uh, aren't all the papers there?
831
00:54:33,729 --> 00:54:37,857
I don't see any. Surely you know what type
of insurance you carry on the car.
832
00:54:37,942 --> 00:54:39,442
The name of the company?
833
00:54:40,277 --> 00:54:41,486
Yeah, but, uh...
834
00:54:41,570 --> 00:54:43,321
Well, if you'll just tell me
the name of the company,
835
00:54:43,405 --> 00:54:45,114
I'd be very glad to take care
of all the details.
836
00:54:45,199 --> 00:54:46,324
Well...
837
00:54:46,408 --> 00:54:48,409
- Did you sign the papers yet?
- Not yet.
838
00:54:48,494 --> 00:54:50,536
Well, don't. We're not selling the car.
839
00:54:50,621 --> 00:54:52,538
- Well, wait a minute, Mrs. Haskell...
- Come on, darling.
840
00:54:52,623 --> 00:54:55,917
- What's the matter? Change your mind?
- Yes. I'm sorry. I guess I have.
841
00:54:56,001 --> 00:54:57,377
- But, Vera...
- Let's go.
842
00:55:03,384 --> 00:55:06,636
You got me out of a tight spot, Vera,
but I still don't understand all this.
843
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:09,722
You will in a minute.
I almost threw away a gold mine.
844
00:55:09,807 --> 00:55:13,726
1,850 isn't to be sneezed at. The car
doesn't book for as much as I thought.
845
00:55:13,811 --> 00:55:15,478
We're not selling the car.
846
00:55:15,562 --> 00:55:17,438
You want to keep it?
Now wait a minute, Vera.
847
00:55:17,523 --> 00:55:20,608
You said yourself I wouldn't be safe
until the car was in someone else's name.
848
00:55:20,693 --> 00:55:22,360
I'd like to be free of this mess
when I go.
849
00:55:22,444 --> 00:55:24,612
That's just it, Roberts. You're not going.
850
00:55:25,531 --> 00:55:27,365
- [sighs]
- There's a drive-in at the next corner.
851
00:55:27,449 --> 00:55:30,201
Pull in there and we'll get a bite to eat
and I'll explain.
852
00:55:30,285 --> 00:55:32,453
What is this,
another one of your brilliant ideas?
853
00:55:38,794 --> 00:55:41,671
- Hello. May I take your order?
- Make mine a ham sandwich and coffee.
854
00:55:41,755 --> 00:55:44,340
- And for you, sir?
- Oh, I don't care. The same.
855
00:55:46,510 --> 00:55:47,719
Thank you.
856
00:55:52,224 --> 00:55:55,226
Get this, Vera,
I've been pretty patient so far.
857
00:55:55,310 --> 00:55:57,311
I've done everything you asked me to do,
but no more.
858
00:55:57,396 --> 00:55:59,564
- Shut up.
- You've taken Haskell's money.
859
00:55:59,648 --> 00:56:01,524
And you can have the dough we get
from selling the car,
860
00:56:01,608 --> 00:56:03,192
but you're not gonna keep me a prisoner.
861
00:56:03,277 --> 00:56:05,069
It's a good thing I bought the paper.
Look at that.
862
00:56:05,154 --> 00:56:07,030
- Vera, I'm in no mood...
- Read that.
863
00:56:17,708 --> 00:56:19,292
- No.
- Yes.
864
00:56:19,376 --> 00:56:20,960
- No, I won't do it.
- Yes, you will.
865
00:56:21,045 --> 00:56:23,254
You think I'm crazy.
It's impossible, I tell ya.
866
00:56:24,131 --> 00:56:25,173
Excuse me.
867
00:56:30,637 --> 00:56:32,138
Blow the horn when you're through.
868
00:56:35,350 --> 00:56:38,561
No one could possibly get away with an act
like that. Be wise to me in a minute.
869
00:56:38,645 --> 00:56:39,812
Don't be yellow.
870
00:56:39,897 --> 00:56:42,690
You look enough like him.
The same coloring and the same build.
871
00:56:42,775 --> 00:56:44,358
See how his clothes fit ya?
872
00:56:44,443 --> 00:56:46,235
No kidding. You almost
had me fooled for a while.
873
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:47,528
Oh, grow up, Vera.
874
00:56:47,613 --> 00:56:50,406
Don't you think a father knows his own
son? There must be other relatives.
875
00:56:50,491 --> 00:56:53,326
The father won't have to know ya.
We'll wait till he gives up the ghost.
876
00:56:53,410 --> 00:56:55,411
He's an old geezer
and he won't pull through.
877
00:56:55,496 --> 00:56:59,373
And as far as the relatives are concerned,
they haven't seen you in 15 or 20 years.
878
00:57:00,876 --> 00:57:02,585
- Eat.
- I'm not hungry.
879
00:57:03,253 --> 00:57:06,130
- And I won't do it.
- It's not as tough as it sounds.
880
00:57:06,215 --> 00:57:08,049
Remember, you've got
all kinds of identification...
881
00:57:08,133 --> 00:57:09,133
his car, letters, license...
882
00:57:09,218 --> 00:57:11,761
I could never get away with it.
It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
883
00:57:11,845 --> 00:57:13,888
The old boy has scads of dough.
884
00:57:13,972 --> 00:57:17,141
Look in the paper there. Personal fortune
assessed at over 15 million.
885
00:57:17,226 --> 00:57:18,684
He'll leave plenty, I tell ya.
886
00:57:18,769 --> 00:57:20,937
Maybe he cut off his son.
How do we know?
887
00:57:21,021 --> 00:57:23,606
It's out, Vera.
I won't have anything to do with it.
888
00:57:24,817 --> 00:57:27,068
I think you will.
889
00:57:27,152 --> 00:57:30,696
Look, Vera, I'll do anything
within reason, but not that.
890
00:57:30,781 --> 00:57:32,698
So forget it or find yourself another stooge.
891
00:57:32,783 --> 00:57:34,033
You sap!
892
00:57:34,785 --> 00:57:36,911
You'll be fixed for the rest of your life
as Charlie Haskell.
893
00:57:36,995 --> 00:57:40,081
You can take your inheritance and go away.
No more worrying about the rent.
894
00:57:40,165 --> 00:57:42,291
No sweating, scheming, wondering
where your next meal's coming from!
895
00:57:42,376 --> 00:57:43,417
Think about that, Roberts!
896
00:57:43,502 --> 00:57:46,295
Vera, please. You're talking too loud.
897
00:57:46,713 --> 00:57:49,298
On this I'm splitting 50-50 with you.
Sure, why not?
898
00:57:49,383 --> 00:57:51,050
We're both alike.
Both born in the same gutter.
899
00:57:51,135 --> 00:57:52,301
Now take it easy, Vera.
900
00:57:52,386 --> 00:57:54,637
There's people around here.
You don't know what you're talking...
901
00:57:55,806 --> 00:57:59,684
We'll wait till we read that old man
Haskell's dead. Then you show up.
902
00:57:59,768 --> 00:58:02,061
Like you read in New York
that he was sick.
903
00:58:02,146 --> 00:58:04,772
No! Suppose he doesn't die?
904
00:58:04,857 --> 00:58:06,941
He will. I know he will.
Something tells me.
905
00:58:09,611 --> 00:58:12,405
[Al narrating] But as much as I insisted
I would have no part of her scheme,
906
00:58:12,489 --> 00:58:14,448
Vera was taking it for granted I would.
907
00:58:16,535 --> 00:58:19,954
Neither of us had our mind on the cards
as we played that night.
908
00:58:20,038 --> 00:58:23,207
I knew we were just trying to kill time
between newspaper editions.
909
00:58:24,042 --> 00:58:26,002
This was a deathwatch for Vera.
910
00:58:27,129 --> 00:58:28,713
Maybe it was for me too.
911
00:58:28,797 --> 00:58:32,383
Don't you realize if I'm caught they'll want
to know where I got the car and stuff?
912
00:58:32,467 --> 00:58:35,595
- Then they'll have me on a murder charge.
- If you're smart, you won't get caught.
913
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:37,054
I knock with seven.
914
00:58:37,139 --> 00:58:39,348
And if I'm caught,
don't you realize you'll be out too?
915
00:58:39,808 --> 00:58:42,935
Eighteen points. That gives me 30.
916
00:58:44,188 --> 00:58:45,438
How will I be out?
917
00:58:45,522 --> 00:58:47,982
You'll be out $1,850 we would have gotten
on the car.
918
00:58:48,066 --> 00:58:49,483
Really, Vera, you'd be an awful chump
919
00:58:49,568 --> 00:58:51,569
if you threw away all that dough
on a dizzy long shot.
920
00:58:51,653 --> 00:58:52,904
Let me sell the bus tomorrow.
921
00:58:52,988 --> 00:58:54,655
With the money it'll bring
and what you've already got,
922
00:58:54,740 --> 00:58:56,449
a clever kid like you
can run it up in no time.
923
00:58:56,533 --> 00:58:59,035
- Then we'd both be in the clear.
- I'll be in the clear anyway.
924
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:00,912
Maybe. Maybe.
925
00:59:00,996 --> 00:59:02,580
But if I got caught...
926
00:59:03,540 --> 00:59:06,083
- I'd get good and sore at you, you know.
- You mean you'd squeal?
927
00:59:06,168 --> 00:59:08,377
- Well, no, not squeal exactly...
- Never mind what you meant!
928
00:59:11,048 --> 00:59:14,425
Even if you did tell the cops
I was in on it with you,
929
00:59:14,509 --> 00:59:15,885
what could they do to me?
930
00:59:16,929 --> 00:59:19,347
They might give me the same medicine
they gave you.
931
00:59:19,431 --> 00:59:21,140
- Yeah.
- A rope.
932
00:59:23,644 --> 00:59:25,770
But I'm on my way anyhow.
933
00:59:27,731 --> 00:59:29,732
All they'll be doing will be rushing it.
934
00:59:30,359 --> 00:59:32,818
All right. But think of the 1,850 you'd lose.
935
00:59:32,903 --> 00:59:35,655
You'd kick yourself along the block
if you let that get away from you.
936
00:59:35,739 --> 00:59:38,658
I'll take the chance. Want another drink?
937
00:59:38,742 --> 00:59:41,744
You're being a goon. That's the way
people wind up behind the eight ball.
938
00:59:41,828 --> 00:59:44,330
Once they get a few dollars,
they become greedy and want more.
939
00:59:44,414 --> 00:59:45,706
My, my.
940
00:59:45,791 --> 00:59:46,791
- Caesar.
- Who?
941
00:59:46,875 --> 00:59:49,585
You know, that Roman general?
He got his for being greedy.
942
00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:52,838
He wasn't satisfied.
So the final windup was he took the count.
943
00:59:52,923 --> 00:59:55,299
A couple of days ago you didn't have a dime.
944
00:59:55,384 --> 00:59:58,219
Why, you were so broke
you couldn't pay cash for a postage stamp.
945
00:59:58,303 --> 01:00:01,347
Now you've got almost $700,
with 1,850 in the offing.
946
01:00:01,431 --> 01:00:03,099
Take my advice. Don't try for more.
947
01:00:03,183 --> 01:00:05,768
I'm tired of this game.
Let's have some blackjack.
948
01:00:05,852 --> 01:00:06,686
Play solitaire.
949
01:00:06,770 --> 01:00:09,313
- I will, if that's the way you feel about it.
- That's the way I feel about it.
950
01:00:09,398 --> 01:00:11,607
Getting sore and throwing things
won't help much, Roberts.
951
01:00:11,692 --> 01:00:15,111
I'm merely doing you a favor. I help you out of
a jam by keepin' my mouth shut.
952
01:00:15,195 --> 01:00:18,072
I show you how to make some soft money,
and what thanks do I get?
953
01:00:18,156 --> 01:00:19,156
- Thanks?
- Sure.
954
01:00:19,241 --> 01:00:21,659
Or would you rather I called the cops and told
them you killed a man and stole his money?
955
01:00:21,743 --> 01:00:22,827
- I didn't kill anybody.
- Yes, you did.
956
01:00:22,911 --> 01:00:25,705
- No, I didn't. You know I didn't.
- All right, then.
957
01:00:28,542 --> 01:00:30,251
Suppose I call the cops?
958
01:00:30,335 --> 01:00:32,920
If you're innocent,
what do you got to be scared of?
959
01:00:33,005 --> 01:00:36,590
Okay, call 'em, you mutt. Go ahead and call 'em.
See if I care.
960
01:00:36,675 --> 01:00:39,552
- At least they'll give me a square deal.
- You want me to call 'em?
961
01:00:39,636 --> 01:00:43,597
You heard me. But I'm warning ya.
If I'm pinched, I'll swear you were in on it.
962
01:00:43,682 --> 01:00:46,976
I'll say that you helped me.
If I'm frying, I'll get even with you.
963
01:00:47,060 --> 01:00:48,686
You wouldn't dare. You're chicken!
964
01:00:48,770 --> 01:00:52,815
Yeah? Then try it and see.
Call 'em. Yeah.
965
01:00:53,650 --> 01:00:55,067
Okay, I will.
966
01:00:57,112 --> 01:01:00,489
[dialing]
967
01:01:07,706 --> 01:01:09,915
Information.
968
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,835
I want the number
of the Hollywood police station.
969
01:01:14,713 --> 01:01:16,756
Okay, I got it. Thanks.
970
01:01:17,966 --> 01:01:19,592
[phone hook clicks]
971
01:01:19,676 --> 01:01:21,677
- [dialing]
- Wait a minute, Vera. You wouldn't do that.
972
01:01:21,762 --> 01:01:23,721
Oh, wouldn't I? Give me that
and I'll show you if I would!
973
01:01:23,805 --> 01:01:25,681
Take it easy now. Let's talk this over.
974
01:01:25,766 --> 01:01:27,558
[Al narrating]
This was early in the evening.
975
01:01:27,642 --> 01:01:32,146
And the conversation, while hectic,
was at least pitched low.
976
01:01:32,230 --> 01:01:36,776
But as the minutes passed and more obstacles
to her plan popped into my head,
977
01:01:36,860 --> 01:01:38,486
the air got blue.
978
01:01:38,570 --> 01:01:41,822
Each word coming from our lips
cracked like a whip.
979
01:01:41,907 --> 01:01:45,785
I reminded her that as Charles Haskell
I didn't even know my mother's name,
980
01:01:45,869 --> 01:01:47,578
where I'd gone to school,
981
01:01:47,662 --> 01:01:49,413
the name of my best friend,
982
01:01:49,498 --> 01:01:51,415
whether I had an Aunt Emma or not,
983
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:54,794
my religion, and if I'd ever owned a dog.
984
01:01:54,878 --> 01:01:57,463
I didn't even know
what my middle initial stood for.
985
01:01:57,547 --> 01:02:00,925
I also pointed out that the real Haskell
had a scar on his forearm.
986
01:02:01,510 --> 01:02:03,302
His people never saw that scar.
987
01:02:03,387 --> 01:02:05,596
He told me he ran away
right after putting out the kid's eye.
988
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,140
Yeah, but his father knew he was cut.
There'd have to be some kind of mark.
989
01:02:08,225 --> 01:02:10,434
So what?
990
01:02:10,519 --> 01:02:14,438
The old man's dead or will be.
I hope by tomorrow morning's papers.
991
01:02:14,523 --> 01:02:18,025
Anyway, you could cut yourself
a little, couldn't ya?
992
01:02:19,027 --> 01:02:22,321
Boy, for that kind of dough,
I'd let you cut my leg off.
993
01:02:22,406 --> 01:02:23,989
You're drunk and you're crazy mad, Vera.
994
01:02:24,074 --> 01:02:26,033
Turn me in if you want to,
but I won't get mixed up in this.
995
01:02:26,118 --> 01:02:28,160
Besides, how do we know?
Haskell was such a phony.
996
01:02:28,245 --> 01:02:30,371
Maybe he wasn't the man's son at all.
Maybe he just dreamed it up.
997
01:02:30,455 --> 01:02:35,918
Well, dreaming or not, you won't be dreaming
when the law taps you on the shoulder.
998
01:02:36,002 --> 01:02:39,588
There's a cute little gas chamber
waiting for you, Roberts.
999
01:02:39,673 --> 01:02:43,134
And I hear extradition to Arizona's a cinch.
1000
01:02:43,218 --> 01:02:45,052
Where's that phone?
1001
01:02:45,137 --> 01:02:46,512
- Vera.
- Leave me alone!
1002
01:02:46,596 --> 01:02:50,057
- Vera!
- I wanna phone, call the police.
1003
01:02:50,767 --> 01:02:54,812
I hate you, you stinker.
You leave me alone!
1004
01:02:54,896 --> 01:02:57,106
I'll let you alone when you promise to leave
the phone where it is.
1005
01:02:57,190 --> 01:02:59,150
- You're drunk. You don't know what you're doing.
- You're hurting me.
1006
01:02:59,234 --> 01:03:00,860
Will you promise?
1007
01:03:00,944 --> 01:03:02,528
All right.
1008
01:03:07,492 --> 01:03:10,327
- You hurt me.
- I'm sorry, but...
1009
01:03:10,412 --> 01:03:13,372
- And it's hot in here! Open up a window!
- It's not hot!
1010
01:03:13,457 --> 01:03:16,125
Don't tell me!
Now do you do it or do I do it?
1011
01:03:18,086 --> 01:03:19,837
You're no gentleman, see?
1012
01:03:19,921 --> 01:03:23,299
Yeah. All right, I'll open up the window.
1013
01:03:26,428 --> 01:03:27,511
Vera!
1014
01:03:31,892 --> 01:03:34,643
Vera, open the door.
Please open the door.
1015
01:03:34,728 --> 01:03:36,854
Vera, open the door.
Don't use the phone. Listen to me.
1016
01:03:37,522 --> 01:03:40,983
I don't like you, Roberts.
You're no gentleman, see?
1017
01:03:41,067 --> 01:03:45,154
You hurt my hand,
and I'm gonna get even with you.
1018
01:03:45,238 --> 01:03:48,407
If you don't open the door,
I'm gonna kick it down, Vera.
1019
01:03:48,492 --> 01:03:51,368
Vera, don't call the cops.
Listen to me, I'll do anything you say.
1020
01:03:52,287 --> 01:03:53,746
Vera, let me in!
1021
01:03:55,207 --> 01:03:56,665
I'll break the phone!
1022
01:04:14,267 --> 01:04:17,269
[grunting]
1023
01:04:22,609 --> 01:04:23,943
Vera.
1024
01:04:34,579 --> 01:04:36,539
[Al narrating] The world is full of skeptics.
1025
01:04:37,290 --> 01:04:39,667
I know. I'm one myself.
1026
01:04:40,669 --> 01:04:43,712
In the Haskell business, how many of you
would believe he fell out of the car?
1027
01:04:43,797 --> 01:04:46,173
And now, after killing Vera
without really meaning to do it,
1028
01:04:46,258 --> 01:04:48,676
how many of you would believe
it wasn't premeditated?
1029
01:04:49,719 --> 01:04:53,264
In a jury room, every last man of you
would go down shouting
1030
01:04:53,348 --> 01:04:56,058
that she had me over a barrel
and my only out was force.
1031
01:04:58,103 --> 01:04:59,728
The room was still.
1032
01:05:00,730 --> 01:05:03,691
So quiet that for a while I'd wondered
if I'd suddenly gone deaf.
1033
01:05:04,484 --> 01:05:06,235
It was pure fear, of course.
1034
01:05:06,319 --> 01:05:08,195
And I was hysterical,
1035
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:09,989
but without making a sound.
1036
01:05:11,324 --> 01:05:14,285
Vera was dead, and I was her murderer.
1037
01:05:15,370 --> 01:05:19,873
Murderer. What an awful word that is.
But I'd become one.
1038
01:05:19,958 --> 01:05:22,042
I'd better not get caught.
1039
01:05:22,127 --> 01:05:24,628
What evidence there was around the place
had to be destroyed.
1040
01:05:24,713 --> 01:05:26,505
And from the looks of things, there was plenty.
1041
01:05:26,590 --> 01:05:28,299
Looking around the room at things we'd bought
1042
01:05:28,383 --> 01:05:30,801
was like looking into the faces of
a hundred people who'd seen us together
1043
01:05:30,885 --> 01:05:32,803
and who remembered me.
1044
01:05:32,887 --> 01:05:35,306
This was the kind of testimony
I couldn't rub out.
1045
01:05:36,808 --> 01:05:38,058
No.
1046
01:05:38,143 --> 01:05:41,312
I could burn clothes and hide bottles
for the next five years.
1047
01:05:41,396 --> 01:05:42,855
There'd always be witnesses.
1048
01:05:42,939 --> 01:05:44,732
The landlady for one.
She could identify me.
1049
01:05:44,816 --> 01:05:46,233
The car dealer, the waitress in the drive-in,
1050
01:05:46,318 --> 01:05:48,819
the girl in the dress shop,
and that guy in the liquor store.
1051
01:05:48,903 --> 01:05:50,696
They could all identify me.
1052
01:05:52,032 --> 01:05:55,868
I was cooked. Done for.
I had to get out of there.
1053
01:05:57,203 --> 01:05:59,330
While once I remained beside a dead body
1054
01:05:59,414 --> 01:06:02,416
planning carefully how to avoid
being accused of killing him,
1055
01:06:02,500 --> 01:06:04,752
this time I couldn't.
1056
01:06:04,836 --> 01:06:06,503
This time I was guilty.
1057
01:06:07,422 --> 01:06:09,923
I knew it. Felt it.
1058
01:06:10,967 --> 01:06:13,218
I was like a guy suffering from shock.
1059
01:06:13,303 --> 01:06:14,970
Things were whirling around in my head.
1060
01:06:15,055 --> 01:06:17,890
I couldn't make myself think right.
1061
01:06:17,974 --> 01:06:21,435
All I could think of was the guy with
the saxophone and what he was playing.
1062
01:06:22,437 --> 01:06:24,021
It wasn't a love song anymore.
1063
01:06:24,814 --> 01:06:26,565
It was a dirge.

[jukebox: up-tempo band music]
1065
01:07:14,197 --> 01:07:16,615
[Al narrating]
But my problems weren't solved.
1066
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:19,493
I had to stay away from New York
for all time.
1067
01:07:20,328 --> 01:07:23,622
Because Al Roberts was listed as dead
and had to stay dead.
1068
01:07:24,332 --> 01:07:25,999
And I could never go back to Hollywood.
1069
01:07:26,835 --> 01:07:28,794
Someone might recognize me as Haskell.
1070
01:07:30,130 --> 01:07:33,048
- Then, too, there was Sue.
- [music stops]
1071
01:07:34,467 --> 01:07:37,803
I could never go to her with a thing
like this hanging over my head.
1072
01:07:39,180 --> 01:07:42,474
All I could do was pray she'd be happy.
1073
01:07:53,486 --> 01:07:57,656
I was in Bakersfield before I read
that Vera's body was discovered.
1074
01:07:57,741 --> 01:08:01,368
And that the police were looking for Haskell
in connection with his wife's murder.
1075
01:08:02,871 --> 01:08:04,413
Isn't that a laugh?
1076
01:08:05,081 --> 01:08:09,001
Haskell got me into this mess
and Haskell was getting me out of it.
1077
01:08:09,085 --> 01:08:11,170
The police were searching for a dead man.
1078
01:08:14,674 --> 01:08:16,884
I keep trying to forget what happened...
1079
01:08:18,261 --> 01:08:22,973
and wonder what my life might have been
if that car of Haskell's hadn't stopped.
1080
01:08:24,768 --> 01:08:26,935
But one thing I don't have to wonder about.
1081
01:08:28,146 --> 01:08:29,605
I know.
1082
01:08:31,107 --> 01:08:34,234
Someday a car will stop to pick me up
that I never thumbed.
1083
01:08:38,990 --> 01:08:39,865
Yes.
1084
01:08:40,742 --> 01:08:44,411
Fate... or some mysterious force
1085
01:08:44,496 --> 01:08:47,414
can put the finger on you or me
1086
01:08:47,499 --> 01:08:49,500
for no good reason at all.

Al Roberts, an unemployed piano player, hitches a ride, arriving at a roadside diner in Reno, Nevada. Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.
Al recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.
In Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.
Al realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.
Al crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.
In Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.
Back at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.
Al gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of "his wife." Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest.

79
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:22,066
A good job as jobs went in those days.
80
00:07:25,487 --> 00:07:28,739
Then, too, there was Sue,
81
00:07:28,824 --> 00:07:31,784
who made working there
a little like working in heaven.
82
00:07:32,244 --> 00:07:36,372
But how we felt about each other, well,
there was nothing very unusual in that.
83
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:39,834
I was an ordinary healthy guy,
and she was an ordinary healthy girl,
84
00:07:39,918 --> 00:07:43,170
and when you add those two together,
you get an ordinary healthy romance,
85
00:07:43,255 --> 00:07:44,672
which is the old story.
86
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:49,426
Sure. But somehow
the most wonderful thing in the world.
87
00:07:49,511 --> 00:07:51,846
[continues playing, rapidly]
88
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:59,436
All in all, I was a pretty lucky guy.
89
00:08:12,450 --> 00:08:15,494
Mr. Patterewsky, I presume?
It's beautiful.
90
00:08:15,579 --> 00:08:17,663
You're going to make Carnegie Hall yet, Al.
91
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:20,332
Yeah. As a janitor.
92
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:22,251
I'll make my debut in the basement.
93
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:26,005
I don't blame you for being bitter,
darling, but you mustn't give up hope.
94
00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:27,798
- Why, some day...
- Yeah, some day,
95
00:08:27,883 --> 00:08:29,633
if I don't get arthritis first.
96
00:08:29,718 --> 00:08:31,385
In the meantime, let's blow this trap.
97
00:08:31,469 --> 00:08:32,845
[piano lid thuds]
98
00:08:48,737 --> 00:08:49,737
[door closes]
99
00:08:51,323 --> 00:08:53,782
- Like to get something to eat, hon?
- Oh, I don't think so, Al.
100
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:56,911
I lose my appetite working in this fleabag.
101
00:08:56,995 --> 00:08:58,954
- Let's go home.
- Okay.
102
00:08:59,831 --> 00:09:02,416
I can't stand much more of that dump.
103
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:05,211
Did you see that drunk tonight
trying to paw me?
104
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:08,547
- No, what drunk?
- Does it matter what drunk?
105
00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:11,800
Say, what's the matter with you tonight, darling?
106
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:14,511
That's the third time you started
to tell me something and then stopped.
107
00:09:15,305 --> 00:09:17,806
We shouldn't have any secrets
from each other, Sue.
108
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:20,267
Next week, we're gonna make with a ring
and a license. We'll be a team.
109
00:09:20,352 --> 00:09:23,395
Yes, that's right. In the bush league.
110
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,190
- I don't get ya.
- We've been struck out.
111
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:29,276
That's a funny way to talk, darling.
112
00:09:29,361 --> 00:09:31,737
- Don't you wanna marry me?
- Al, look, I love you.
113
00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:34,198
You know I do.
And I want to marry you.
114
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:36,742
- But...?
- But not now.
115
00:09:36,826 --> 00:09:39,286
Only after we've made good.
116
00:09:39,371 --> 00:09:40,996
Sunday I'm going away.
117
00:09:41,706 --> 00:09:43,666
Oh, I know you'll think it's silly.
118
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:46,001
That's why I hesitated to tell you.
119
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:47,795
But I'm going to California.
120
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:50,297
I wanna try my luck in Hollywood.
121
00:09:50,548 --> 00:09:52,758
[Al] That's the most
stupid thing I ever heard of.
122
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:56,387
Don't you know millions of people go out there
every year and wind up polishing cuspidors?
123
00:09:56,471 --> 00:09:57,638
I thought you had better sense.
124
00:09:57,722 --> 00:09:59,598
You sound as if you think
I don't have any talent.
125
00:09:59,683 --> 00:10:02,101
- That has nothing to do with it.
- I'll make out all right.
126
00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:03,936
Maybe. But what about me?
127
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:06,563
Doesn't it mean anything to you
that you're busting up all our plans?
128
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:09,817
- We may not see each other for years?
- It won't be that long.
129
00:10:09,901 --> 00:10:12,111
- I thought you loved me.
- I do.
130
00:10:12,195 --> 00:10:13,737
You know I do.
131
00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:18,325
Well, here we are.
132
00:10:20,787 --> 00:10:21,787
Al...
133
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:25,541
Al, why can't you see my side of it?
134
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:28,294
I'm young. We both are. And...
135
00:10:28,378 --> 00:10:31,005
And we've got all the time in the world
to settle down.
136
00:10:31,715 --> 00:10:33,966
[sighs] Really, darling.
137
00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:37,303
What I'm doing is the only sane thing to do.
138
00:10:37,387 --> 00:10:40,889
[sighs] I... I hate the thought
of being so far away from you.
139
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:44,226
But... But we'll be together again some day.
140
00:10:44,311 --> 00:10:47,563
[sighs] Maybe you'll decide
to come out too, later on.
141
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:49,898
- So long.
- Al.
142
00:10:50,734 --> 00:10:53,068
Aren't you gonna kiss me good night?
143
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,237
Sure, why not?
144
00:10:57,741 --> 00:10:58,991
Good night.
145
00:11:05,248 --> 00:11:07,708
[playing romantic melody]
146
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:34,276
[playing jauntily, jazzy]
147
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:47,164
[changing rhythm, slower]
148
00:12:09,604 --> 00:12:12,231
[changing rhythm, jittery]
149
00:12:18,822 --> 00:12:21,824
[no audible dialogue]
150
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:40,717
[piano playing stops]
151
00:12:40,802 --> 00:12:42,469
- [applause]
- Say, Roberts.
152
00:12:42,554 --> 00:12:45,848
You hit the jackpot this time. Ten bucks.
153
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:47,391
Thanks.
154
00:12:53,481 --> 00:12:56,024
[Al narrating] So when this drunk handed me
a ten-spot after a request,
155
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:57,526
I couldn't get very excited.
156
00:12:57,777 --> 00:13:01,363
What was it, I asked myself?
A piece of paper crawling with germs.
157
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:03,866
Couldn't buy anything I wanted.
158
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:05,242
It couldn't...
159
00:13:08,246 --> 00:13:09,705
Then I thought of something.
160
00:13:33,104 --> 00:13:34,313
Long distance.
161
00:13:34,397 --> 00:13:36,857
I'd like to put a call through to Los Angeles.
162
00:13:36,941 --> 00:13:39,193
Miss Harvey. Sue Harvey.
163
00:13:39,277 --> 00:13:41,069
H-A-R-V-E-Y.
164
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:44,615
The number is CRestview 65723.
165
00:14:04,594 --> 00:14:06,386
- 4.50.
- [coin clatters]
166
00:14:06,471 --> 00:14:08,347
- 4.75.
- [coin clatters]
167
00:14:08,431 --> 00:14:09,431
5.00.
168
00:14:12,477 --> 00:14:15,020
Hello, Sue? This is Al.
169
00:14:15,104 --> 00:14:17,356
Oh, baby, it's great to hear from you too.
170
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,651
What's that? You do?
Oh, me too, darling.
171
00:14:20,735 --> 00:14:23,362
I thought I'd go batty without you.
I just had to...
172
00:14:23,446 --> 00:14:24,446
Huh?
173
00:14:25,406 --> 00:14:27,449
You're workin' as a hash slinger?
174
00:14:27,534 --> 00:14:28,867
Gee, honey, that's tough.
175
00:14:28,952 --> 00:14:32,371
Those guys out in Hollywood don't know
the real thing when it's right in front of them.
176
00:14:32,455 --> 00:14:34,164
You just stick it out, Sue, baby.
177
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:37,417
Keep goin' around to those casting offices.
I'm sure you'll click.
178
00:14:38,002 --> 00:14:40,629
Look, I'll tell you what.
You stay put out there. I'll come to you.
179
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:43,632
No, don't try to stop me. Just expect me.
180
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:46,760
Train? Who knows?
Train, plane, bus, magic carpet.
181
00:14:46,844 --> 00:14:50,430
I'll be there if I have to crawl.
If I have to travel by pogo stick.
182
00:14:50,515 --> 00:14:53,809
And then... let's get married right away.
183
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:59,439
That's the stuff. That's what
I've been wanting to hear you say.
184
00:15:00,525 --> 00:15:03,110
Well, good-bye for now.
185
00:15:04,362 --> 00:15:06,905
I'll be seeing you soon. [kisses]
186
00:15:07,282 --> 00:15:10,492
Yeah. [kisses] Bye.
187
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:18,500
[Al narrating] The only way I could
cross country was to thumb rides,
188
00:15:18,585 --> 00:15:21,587
for even after hocking everything,
I only had enough money to eat.
189
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:24,923
Money. You know what that is.
190
00:15:25,717 --> 00:15:27,551
It's the stuff you never have enough of.
191
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:29,720
Little green things
with George Washington's picture
192
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:33,432
that men slave for,
commit crimes for, die for.
193
00:15:34,183 --> 00:15:36,226
It's the stuff that has caused
more trouble in the world
194
00:15:36,311 --> 00:15:38,186
than anything else we ever invented,
195
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:41,273
simply because there's too little of it.
196
00:15:41,357 --> 00:15:43,442
At least I had too little of it.
197
00:15:43,526 --> 00:15:45,319
So it was me for the thumb.
198
00:16:01,753 --> 00:16:03,170
Ever done any hitchhiking?
199
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:05,881
It's not much fun, believe me.
200
00:16:06,549 --> 00:16:08,842
Oh, yeah,
I know all about how it's an education,
201
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:11,595
and how you get to meet a lot of people,
and all that.
202
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:15,849
But me, from now on
I'll take my education in college,
203
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:20,187
or in P.S. 62, or I'll send $1.98
in stamps for ten easy lessons.
204
00:16:29,447 --> 00:16:33,367
Thumbing rides may save you bus fare,
but it's dangerous.
205
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:37,954
You never know what's in store for you
when you hear the squeal of brakes.
206
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,001
If only I had known what I was getting into
that day in Arizona.
207
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:46,546
Here, throw that in the back seat.
208
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:51,301
Okay, let's go.
Make sure that door's closed.
209
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:53,553
- [door closes]
- [lock clacks]
210
00:17:05,483 --> 00:17:09,319
You know, Emily Post ought to write
a book of rules for guys thumbing rides.
211
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:13,031
Because as it is now you never know
what's right and what's wrong.
212
00:17:13,783 --> 00:17:17,285
We rode along for a little while,
neither one of us saying anything.
213
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:19,538
I was glad of that.
214
00:17:19,622 --> 00:17:22,457
I never know what to say
to strange people driving cars.
215
00:17:23,418 --> 00:17:26,545
And too, you can never tell
if a guy wants to talk.
216
00:17:26,629 --> 00:17:29,631
A lot of rides have been cut short
because of a big mouth.
217
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:34,845
So I kept my mouth shut
until he started opening up.
218
00:17:35,596 --> 00:17:38,473
Hand me that little box
in the compartment, will ya, pal?
219
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:42,936
Hold the wheel, will ya?
220
00:17:44,397 --> 00:17:45,397
[pills rattling]
221
00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:53,029
[glove box closes]
222
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:56,450
- How far are ya going?
- LA.
223
00:17:56,534 --> 00:17:58,577
Well, you're really traveling aren't ya?
224
00:17:58,661 --> 00:18:00,704
Yeah, but I don't expect to make it
for a couple years
225
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:02,372
at the rate I've been promoting rides.
226
00:18:02,457 --> 00:18:03,582
Not much luck, huh?
227
00:18:03,666 --> 00:18:05,459
Sure. All bad.
228
00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:07,753
Not many people stop for a guy these days.
229
00:18:07,837 --> 00:18:09,296
Afraid of a stickup maybe.
230
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:10,505
Ah, you can't blame 'em.
231
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:13,675
- Where ya comin' from?
- New York.
232
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,137
Well, New York. You're in luck this time.
233
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:19,139
I'm goin' all the way.
234
00:18:19,223 --> 00:18:20,807
Right through to Los Angeles.
235
00:18:22,018 --> 00:18:24,102
- You drive a car?
- Sure.
236
00:18:24,187 --> 00:18:26,897
- Whenever you're tired, let me know.
- I'll holler.
237
00:18:28,691 --> 00:18:30,776
I guess at least an hour passed
before I noticed
238
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:32,778
those deep scratches in his right hand.
239
00:18:33,237 --> 00:18:34,696
They were wicked.
240
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:37,532
Three puffy red lines
about a quarter of an inch apart.
241
00:18:38,576 --> 00:18:40,869
He must have seen me looking at them
because he said...
242
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:43,288
Beauties, aren't they?
243
00:18:44,081 --> 00:18:45,957
They're gonna be scars someday.
244
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:49,002
What an animal.
245
00:18:49,086 --> 00:18:51,880
Whatever it was, it must have been
pretty big and vicious to have done that.
246
00:18:52,381 --> 00:18:54,424
Right on both counts, New York.
247
00:18:54,509 --> 00:18:57,636
I was tussling with the most
dangerous animal in the world...
248
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,804
a woman.
249
00:18:59,388 --> 00:19:01,014
She must have been Tarzan's mate.
250
00:19:01,098 --> 00:19:02,766
Looks like you lost the bout.
251
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:04,559
Certainly wasn't a draw.
252
00:19:05,394 --> 00:19:08,313
You know, there ought to be a law
against dames with claws.
253
00:19:08,397 --> 00:19:09,314
Yeah.
254
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:11,483
I tossed her out of the car on her ear.
255
00:19:12,318 --> 00:19:16,655
Was I wrong? Give a lift to a tomato,
you expect her to be nice, don't ya?
256
00:19:16,739 --> 00:19:17,656
Yeah.
257
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:20,242
After all, what kind of dames thumb rides?
258
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:22,577
- Sunday school teachers?
- Yeah.
259
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:25,747
The little witch.
260
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:28,458
She must've thought she was riding
with some fall guy.
261
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:32,337
And me who's been booking horses
around racetracks since I was 20.
262
00:19:33,047 --> 00:19:34,923
[scoffs] I've known a million dames like her.
263
00:19:35,383 --> 00:19:37,217
- Two million.
- Yeah.
264
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:42,138
Stopped the car, opened the door...
265
00:19:42,223 --> 00:19:44,641
"Take it on the Arthur Duffy, sister,"
I told her.
266
00:19:44,725 --> 00:19:48,103
- That's the stuff.
- As I was down on her. [laughs]
267
00:19:48,479 --> 00:19:52,148
But if you wanna see a real scar, brother,
get a load of this.
268
00:19:53,442 --> 00:19:55,026
Wow.
269
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:57,904
- I got that one dueling.
- Dueling?
270
00:19:58,406 --> 00:19:59,865
Yeah. We were just kidding, of course.
271
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:02,450
My dad owned a couple of
Franco-Prussian sabers.
272
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:04,244
Kept 'em on the wall for decorations.
273
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:09,749
One day, another kid and I took 'em down
when the old man wasn't around. Had a duel.
274
00:20:09,834 --> 00:20:11,376
[chuckles]
275
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:13,587
He hit me in the arm, here.
276
00:20:13,671 --> 00:20:15,338
Pretty mean cut.
277
00:20:15,423 --> 00:20:16,965
Infection set in later.
278
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:18,842
Yeah, I can see that.
279
00:20:19,093 --> 00:20:21,428
- Oh, gimme that box again, will ya?
- Yeah.
280
00:20:24,765 --> 00:20:26,099
[pills rattling]
281
00:20:31,355 --> 00:20:32,397
[glove box closes]
282
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:35,525
Pain made me lose my head, I guess.
283
00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:37,694
I began slashing.
284
00:20:37,778 --> 00:20:40,488
Before I knew it,
I put the other kid's eye out.
285
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:43,950
- That was tough.
- Well, it was just an accident, of course.
286
00:20:44,035 --> 00:20:48,413
But you know how kids are. I got scared...
decided I was gonna run away from home.
287
00:20:48,915 --> 00:20:51,958
Old man almost clocked me
when I was packin' my duds.
288
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:56,296
If the bloody rag I had wrapped around my wrist
hadn't caught his attention,
289
00:20:56,380 --> 00:20:58,048
he'd have seen the bundle for sure.
290
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:01,551
But I beat it when he was phoning for a doctor.
291
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:06,598
That was 15, 16 years ago.
I haven't been home since.
292
00:21:10,561 --> 00:21:12,729
Pull in there for a bite of something, huh?
293
00:21:12,813 --> 00:21:14,481
[Al narrating] A bite of something.
294
00:21:14,565 --> 00:21:16,066
Brother, was I hungry.
295
00:21:16,150 --> 00:21:18,401
I hadn't had anything in my stomach for hours.
296
00:21:19,362 --> 00:21:21,404
Yet even with that gnawing
in the pit of my belly,
297
00:21:21,489 --> 00:21:24,324
I didn't want to be in too big a rush
to put on the feed bag.
298
00:21:25,076 --> 00:21:27,827
First, I had to make sure
this guy knew the score.
299
00:21:27,912 --> 00:21:31,247
If I got him down on me,
it was good-bye ticket to Hollywood.
300
00:21:32,083 --> 00:21:33,708
I'll wait out here for you, mister.
301
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:36,753
If it's the money, don't worry about
paying for it. This time it's on me.
302
00:21:36,837 --> 00:21:39,255
- Well, that's white of you, Mr...
- Haskell. Think nothing of it.
303
00:21:39,340 --> 00:21:42,717
You make your first million, maybe you can
do the same for me. Come on, New York.
304
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:44,594
I gotta make the West Coast by Wednesday.
305
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:47,263
There's a horse running at
Santa Anita named Paradisiacal.
306
00:21:47,348 --> 00:21:49,933
- Means dough to me if I'm running.
- We'll make it all right.
307
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:54,688
[Al narrating] He did most of the talking
during the half hour we were in the place.
308
00:21:54,772 --> 00:21:55,772
I ate.
309
00:21:56,857 --> 00:22:01,027
He rambled on about his old man, who he hadn't
heard from since he ran away as a kid,
310
00:22:01,112 --> 00:22:02,946
and how he happened to become a bookie,
311
00:22:03,030 --> 00:22:05,740
and then all about how he got rooked in Miami.
312
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:08,660
One race, 38 grand.
They cleaned out my book.
313
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:11,079
- How do you like that?
- That was tough luck.
314
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:13,164
Yeah, and I'm supposed to be the smart guy.
315
00:22:13,249 --> 00:22:16,543
You just wait. I'm going back to Florida
next season with all kinds of jack.
316
00:22:16,627 --> 00:22:18,586
And you watch those stinkers run for cover.
317
00:22:19,547 --> 00:22:21,965
- Want anything else?
- No, thanks, I've had plenty.
318
00:22:27,638 --> 00:22:29,556
- The check there, sister?
- Mm-hmm.
319
00:22:32,601 --> 00:22:34,519
Oh, just a minute. Your change, sir.
320
00:22:34,603 --> 00:22:37,272
- Keep it, sister.
- Oh, thank you, sir. Call again.
321
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,190
I'll be waitin' outside for you
when you finish work.
322
00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:40,400
[chuckles]
323
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:41,776
Sharp chick, huh?
324
00:22:49,952 --> 00:22:52,912
[Al narrating] I drove all that night
while Haskell slept like a log.
325
00:22:53,581 --> 00:22:56,416
After a while, I began to get sleepy myself.
326
00:22:57,835 --> 00:23:01,671
I was happy though.
Soon I'd be with Sue again.
327
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:03,214
The long trip was practically over,
328
00:23:03,299 --> 00:23:06,009
and there'd be no more hoofing it
down the concrete.
329
00:23:06,761 --> 00:23:08,928
I began to think of the future,
330
00:23:09,013 --> 00:23:12,098
which couldn't have been brighter
if I'd embroidered it with neon lights.
331
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,226
It was nice to think of Sue shooting to the top.
332
00:23:16,437 --> 00:23:20,356
[chuckles] It's amazing what a full belly
can do to your imagination.
333
00:23:20,566 --> 00:23:23,276
[romantic ballad]
334
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:28,156
# Your eyes are blue
Your kisses too #
335
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,577
# I never knew what they could do #
336
00:23:32,661 --> 00:23:39,667
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
337
00:23:41,045 --> 00:23:45,632
# You're telling everyone you know #
338
00:23:45,716 --> 00:23:50,095
# I'm on your mind each place you go #
339
00:23:50,179 --> 00:23:56,017
# I can't believe that you're in love #
340
00:23:56,352 --> 00:24:02,690
# With me #
341
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:12,951
Mr. Haskell.
342
00:24:14,703 --> 00:24:15,703
Mr. Haskell?
343
00:24:18,833 --> 00:24:20,875
Mr. Haskell, wake up! It's raining.
344
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,002
Don't you think we ought to stop
and put up the top?
345
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:33,263
Mr. Haskell, I'm gonna put up the top.
346
00:24:48,154 --> 00:24:50,029
[Al narrating] Until then,
I'd done things my way.
347
00:24:50,531 --> 00:24:52,699
But from then on, something else
stepped in and shunted me off
348
00:24:52,783 --> 00:24:55,535
to a different destination
than the one I had picked for myself.
349
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:58,329
For when I pulled open that door...
350
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:05,170
Mr. Haskell, what's the matter?
Are you hurt?
351
00:25:06,255 --> 00:25:07,547
Are you hurt, Mr. Haskell?
352
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:11,467
[Al narrating]
Start your sermon. I'll listen to it.
353
00:25:12,219 --> 00:25:15,013
But I know what you're gonna hand me
even before you open your mouths.
354
00:25:15,598 --> 00:25:18,016
You're gonna tell me you don't believe
my story of how Haskell died
355
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:21,352
and give me that "don't make me laugh"
expression on your smug faces.
356
00:25:24,815 --> 00:25:26,357
I saw at once he was dead.
357
00:25:26,692 --> 00:25:28,193
And I was in for it.
358
00:25:28,277 --> 00:25:30,111
Who would believe he fell out of the car?
359
00:25:30,196 --> 00:25:31,738
If Haskell came to, which,
of course, he couldn't,
360
00:25:31,822 --> 00:25:34,240
even he would swear
I conked him over the head for his dough.
361
00:25:34,325 --> 00:25:35,491
Yes, I was in for it.
362
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:39,829
Instinct told me to run,
but then I realized it was hopeless.
363
00:25:39,914 --> 00:25:41,998
There were lots of people back down the road
who could identify me.
364
00:25:42,082 --> 00:25:44,000
That gas station guy and the waitress.
365
00:25:44,084 --> 00:25:46,419
I would be in a worse spot then
trying to explain why I beat it.
366
00:25:47,504 --> 00:25:50,381
The next possibility was to sit tight
and tell the truth when the cops came.
367
00:25:50,466 --> 00:25:53,176
But that would be crazy.
They'd laugh at the truth.
368
00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:54,552
And I'd have my head in a noose.
369
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:59,807
So what else was there to do
but hide the body and get away in the car?
370
00:25:59,892 --> 00:26:02,101
I couldn't leave the car there
with him in the gully.
371
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:03,937
That would be like erecting a tombstone.
372
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:35,385
My idea was to cover him with brush,
not to rob him.
373
00:26:35,636 --> 00:26:38,304
But then I remembered that even if
I only drove the car for 100 miles or so,
374
00:26:38,389 --> 00:26:39,722
I would need money for gas.
375
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:44,060
Besides, it was stupid of me
to leave all that money on a dead man.
376
00:26:45,145 --> 00:26:47,188
Not only that,
I'd have to take his driver's license
377
00:26:47,273 --> 00:26:48,690
in case I was stopped for something.
378
00:26:50,901 --> 00:26:52,235
I didn't like to think about it,
379
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,821
but by that time I'd done
just what the police would say I did.
380
00:26:54,905 --> 00:26:57,740
Even if I didn't... My clothes.
381
00:26:58,367 --> 00:27:00,618
The owner of such an expensive car
would never be wearing them.
382
00:27:01,662 --> 00:27:03,246
Some cop might pull me in on suspicion.
383
00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,802
[motorcycle approaches]
384
00:27:28,939 --> 00:27:30,231
Hey, you. This your car?
385
00:27:30,941 --> 00:27:33,943
Don't you know better than to leave a car
with the wheels halfway in the middle of the road?
386
00:27:34,028 --> 00:27:35,403
That's the way accidents happen.
387
00:27:35,612 --> 00:27:38,614
I... I'm sorry, Officer.
I was just putting up my top.
388
00:27:38,699 --> 00:27:41,367
- I didn't think.
- Well, the next time, think.
389
00:27:41,452 --> 00:27:43,911
I'll let you go now,
but watch your step in the future.
390
00:27:43,996 --> 00:27:46,414
I know that it's a lonely stretch,
but cars come by here once in a while.
391
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:49,334
- We have plenty of crack-ups.
- Thanks, Officer.
392
00:28:13,067 --> 00:28:15,777
[Al narrating] I left nothing in the car
that'd give me away as Roberts.
393
00:28:15,861 --> 00:28:18,529
If they found a dead man in the gully now,
it could be me.
394
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:28,122
As I drove off, it was still raining.
395
00:28:29,083 --> 00:28:31,876
The drops streaked
down the windshield like tears.
396
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:36,381
I kept imagining I was being followed,
397
00:28:36,465 --> 00:28:38,341
that I could hear sirens
back in the distance.
398
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,471
Just how long it took to cover the 60-odd
miles to the California state line,
399
00:28:43,555 --> 00:28:44,555
I don't know.
400
00:28:45,057 --> 00:28:46,641
I lost all track of time.
401
00:28:47,351 --> 00:28:51,270
But the rain had stopped and the sun was up
when I pulled up to the inspection station.
402
00:28:55,859 --> 00:28:56,692
Hello.
403
00:28:57,653 --> 00:28:59,946
- Carrying any fruits or vegetables?
- No.
404
00:29:00,030 --> 00:29:02,198
- Any livestock or poultry?
- No.
405
00:29:02,282 --> 00:29:03,741
[footsteps approaching]
406
00:29:03,826 --> 00:29:06,202
I'd like to see your registration
and driver's license, please.
407
00:29:10,749 --> 00:29:13,251
- Anything in the baggage compartment?
- Just baggage.
408
00:29:15,212 --> 00:29:18,548
Charles Haskell Jr.
Age 30, brown eyes, dark hair.
409
00:29:18,841 --> 00:29:20,216
Identifying marks, none.
410
00:29:20,884 --> 00:29:23,094
- Are you Charles Haskell Jr.?
- Yes.
411
00:29:23,178 --> 00:29:25,263
Well, remember, if you're employed,
and you stay over 30 days,
412
00:29:25,347 --> 00:29:27,223
you take out California plates.
413
00:29:27,307 --> 00:29:29,517
All right, Officer, but I'll only be
in the state a short while.
414
00:29:31,186 --> 00:29:32,270
Right. You can go now.
415
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:42,113
[Al narrating] I couldn't drive any farther
without some sleep.
416
00:29:42,197 --> 00:29:45,783
Cops or no cops, I knew
I had to hit the hay and hit it hard.
417
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,203
I was dead tired.
418
00:30:20,027 --> 00:30:20,943
No.
419
00:30:21,820 --> 00:30:23,362
No, you can't, Mr. Haskell.
420
00:30:24,323 --> 00:30:25,156
No.
421
00:30:32,706 --> 00:30:35,374
Mr. Haskell, you can't die.
422
00:30:36,502 --> 00:30:39,128
They'll think... They'll think I did it.
423
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:42,173
No, Mr. Haskell.
424
00:30:42,591 --> 00:30:44,717
No, no...
425
00:30:48,722 --> 00:30:49,805
[knocks]
426
00:30:54,019 --> 00:30:55,603
[knocking continues]
427
00:30:59,358 --> 00:31:00,233
Who's there?
428
00:31:00,317 --> 00:31:02,610
It's the maid. Can I come in and clean?
429
00:31:03,820 --> 00:31:06,322
Later... in a half-hour.
430
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:07,490
All right, sir.
431
00:31:32,057 --> 00:31:33,599
[Al narrating] There was no time to lose.
432
00:31:33,684 --> 00:31:36,227
Every minute I had to be Charles Haskell
was dangerous.
433
00:31:36,311 --> 00:31:38,521
I'd have to be Charles Haskell
until I got to some city
434
00:31:38,605 --> 00:31:40,648
where I could leave the car
and be swallowed up.
435
00:31:46,238 --> 00:31:48,864
That meant driving the car
as far as San Bernardino,
436
00:31:48,949 --> 00:31:50,491
maybe even to Los Angeles.
437
00:31:50,576 --> 00:31:52,451
In a little town, I might be noticed.
438
00:31:52,536 --> 00:31:54,328
But in a city, I should be safe enough.
439
00:31:55,581 --> 00:31:58,666
Then, after I ditched the car,
I could go on to Sue.
440
00:31:59,585 --> 00:32:02,545
But those five minutes at the state line
made me realize
441
00:32:02,629 --> 00:32:05,631
it might be a good idea to find out
a little bit about Mr. Haskell.
442
00:32:06,633 --> 00:32:09,302
Then if anybody asked me questions,
I could give the right answers.
443
00:32:10,345 --> 00:32:13,806
The first thing I found out
was that I had $768.
444
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:17,768
This was a lot of jack, but believe me,
445
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:19,895
it was the kind of money
I'd rather not have.
446
00:32:27,446 --> 00:32:31,115
And then I found out from a letter
Haskell was carting around in his bag
447
00:32:31,199 --> 00:32:33,784
that he wasn't the openhanded,
easygoing big shot
448
00:32:33,869 --> 00:32:36,412
who went around buying dinners
for strange hitchhikers.
449
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:39,832
Before I got done reading it,
I saw him more as a chiseler.
450
00:32:41,209 --> 00:32:43,836
It was written
to his old man in California,
451
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,796
the one he hadn't seen in so many years.
452
00:32:46,590 --> 00:32:51,385
In it, Haskell posed as a salesman...
of hymnals, of all things.
453
00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:54,388
It was easy to see where Haskell expected
454
00:32:54,473 --> 00:32:56,849
to raise a new stake
for his book in Miami...
455
00:32:57,684 --> 00:32:59,143
by rooking his old man.
456
00:33:00,771 --> 00:33:03,689
That was about all I found out
from his effects.
457
00:33:03,774 --> 00:33:04,857
And it was enough.
458
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:09,737
I told myself maybe old man Haskell
was lucky his son kicked off.
459
00:33:10,864 --> 00:33:12,531
He would never know it,
460
00:33:12,616 --> 00:33:16,077
but it saved him from taking a flier
in sacred literature preferred.
461
00:33:22,793 --> 00:33:24,377
[birds chirping]
462
00:33:41,186 --> 00:33:43,979
Near the airport at Desert Center,
I pulled up for water.
463
00:33:45,607 --> 00:33:46,691
There was a woman.
464
00:33:51,321 --> 00:33:53,614
Hey, you. Come on if you want a ride.
465
00:34:07,587 --> 00:34:08,587
[car hood slams]
466
00:34:39,995 --> 00:34:41,662
How far you goin'?
467
00:34:41,747 --> 00:34:43,122
How far are you going?
468
00:34:43,749 --> 00:34:46,792
[Al narrating] That took me by surprise.
I turned my head to look her over.
469
00:34:47,836 --> 00:34:50,588
She was facing straight ahead,
so I couldn't see her eyes.
470
00:34:51,006 --> 00:34:53,758
But she was young, not more than 24.
471
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:56,844
Man, she looked as if
she'd just been thrown off
472
00:34:56,928 --> 00:34:59,305
the crummiest freight train in the world.
473
00:35:00,140 --> 00:35:02,641
Yet, in spite of this,
I got the impression of beauty.
474
00:35:03,727 --> 00:35:06,020
Not the beauty of a movie actress,
mind you,
475
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,689
or the beauty you dream about
when you're with your wife,
476
00:35:08,774 --> 00:35:10,065
but a natural beauty,
477
00:35:10,567 --> 00:35:13,194
a beauty that's almost homely
because it's so real.
478
00:35:15,363 --> 00:35:17,114
Then, suddenly, she turned to face me.
479
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:20,409
- How far did you say you were going?
- Los Angeles.
480
00:35:20,494 --> 00:35:21,410
LA?
481
00:35:22,287 --> 00:35:25,790
- LA's good enough for me, mister.
- That's what I was afraid of.
482
00:35:25,874 --> 00:35:29,084
- What'd you say?
- Oh, nothing. Just thinking out loud.
483
00:35:29,169 --> 00:35:31,128
People get in trouble for doing that.
484
00:35:32,005 --> 00:35:34,715
- What's your name?
- You can call me Vera, if you like.
485
00:35:35,509 --> 00:35:37,176
- You live in Los Angeles?
- No.
486
00:35:39,054 --> 00:35:41,555
- Where you coming from?
- Oh, back there.
487
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,098
- Needles?
- No.
488
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:47,102
Oh, sure. Phoenix.
You look just like a Phoenix girl.
489
00:35:47,687 --> 00:35:49,855
- Are the girls in Phoenix that bad?
- [chuckles]
490
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:51,774
[Al narrating]
The girl must have been pretty tired
491
00:35:51,858 --> 00:35:54,944
because she fell asleep not 20 minutes
after she stepped into the car.
492
00:35:55,737 --> 00:35:59,782
She lay sprawled out with her head resting
against the far door, like Haskell.
493
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:03,452
I didn't like that part of it much,
but I didn't wake her up.
494
00:36:04,955 --> 00:36:06,872
It wasn't that this girl still worried me.
495
00:36:07,374 --> 00:36:10,376
I'd gotten over that funny feeling
I had when she looked at me,
496
00:36:10,460 --> 00:36:13,003
which I put down
as just my jangled nerves.
497
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:16,590
With her eyes closed
and the tenseness gone out of her,
498
00:36:16,675 --> 00:36:18,133
she seemed harmless enough.
499
00:36:18,885 --> 00:36:21,929
Instead of disliking her,
I began to feel sorry for her.
500
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:25,182
The poor kid probably
had had a rough time of it.
501
00:36:26,476 --> 00:36:27,977
Who was she, anyway?
502
00:36:28,061 --> 00:36:30,479
And why was she going to Los Angeles?
503
00:36:30,564 --> 00:36:32,898
And where'd she come from
in the first place?
504
00:36:32,983 --> 00:36:34,775
The only thing I knew about her
was her name.
505
00:36:35,777 --> 00:36:37,361
Not that it made any difference.
506
00:36:37,445 --> 00:36:39,738
A few hours more and we'd be in Hollywood.
507
00:36:39,823 --> 00:36:42,241
I'd forget where I parked the car
and look up Sue.
508
00:36:43,118 --> 00:36:45,286
This nightmare of being a dead man
would be over.
509
00:36:46,121 --> 00:36:48,831
Who this dame was, well,
it was no business of mine.
510
00:36:48,915 --> 00:36:52,918
Where did you leave his body?
Where did you leave the owner of this car?
511
00:36:53,003 --> 00:36:54,712
You're not fooling anyone.
512
00:36:55,297 --> 00:36:58,173
This buggy belongs to a guy named Haskell.
That's not you, mister.
513
00:36:58,258 --> 00:37:01,343
You're out of your mind. That's my name.
Charles Haskell. I can prove it.
514
00:37:01,428 --> 00:37:03,512
- Here's my driver's license.
- Save yourself the trouble, mister.
515
00:37:03,597 --> 00:37:05,848
Having Haskell's wallet
only makes it worse.
516
00:37:05,932 --> 00:37:08,017
It just so happens
I rode with Charlie Haskell
517
00:37:08,101 --> 00:37:09,685
all the way from Louisiana.
518
00:37:09,769 --> 00:37:11,854
He picked me up outside of Shreveport.
519
00:37:11,938 --> 00:37:13,564
- You rode...
- You heard me.
520
00:37:14,149 --> 00:37:15,983
[Al narrating] Then it all came back to me.
521
00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:18,652
All the talk about dueling
and scars and scratches.
522
00:37:19,613 --> 00:37:21,363
There was no doubt about it.
523
00:37:21,448 --> 00:37:23,949
Vera must be the woman
Haskell had mentioned.
524
00:37:24,034 --> 00:37:25,784
She must have passed me while I slept.
525
00:37:25,869 --> 00:37:28,871
Well? Well, I'm waiting.
526
00:37:28,955 --> 00:37:30,331
My goose was cooked.
527
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:32,082
She had me.
528
00:37:32,876 --> 00:37:34,668
That Haskell guy wasn't dead yet.
529
00:37:35,253 --> 00:37:38,172
He wasn't stretched out stiff and cold
in any Arizona gully.
530
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:41,425
He was sitting right there in the car,
laughing like mad while he haunted me.
531
00:37:43,345 --> 00:37:44,303
Well?
532
00:37:44,387 --> 00:37:47,514
There was nothing I could say.
It was her move.
533
00:37:48,224 --> 00:37:50,142
Vera, whatever her name was.
534
00:37:50,226 --> 00:37:52,478
It was just my luck
picking her up on the road.
535
00:37:53,313 --> 00:37:56,148
It couldn't have been Helen
or Mary or Evelyn or Ruth.
536
00:37:57,025 --> 00:37:59,526
It had to be the very last person
I should ever have met.
537
00:38:00,820 --> 00:38:01,820
That's life.
538
00:38:02,697 --> 00:38:05,491
Whichever way you turn,
fate sticks out a foot to trip you.
539
00:38:11,081 --> 00:38:13,457
I told her everything,
but she didn't believe my story.
540
00:38:13,541 --> 00:38:15,167
I should've saved my breath.
541
00:38:15,251 --> 00:38:17,670
That's the greatest cock-and-bull story
I ever heard.
542
00:38:17,754 --> 00:38:19,380
So he fell out of his car.
543
00:38:19,464 --> 00:38:21,507
Say, who do you think
you're talking to, a hick?
544
00:38:21,591 --> 00:38:23,592
Listen, mister. I've been around.
545
00:38:23,677 --> 00:38:27,054
And I know a wrong guy when I see one.
What'd you do, kiss him with a wrench?
546
00:38:27,138 --> 00:38:29,264
Now wait a minute.
What I told you was true.
547
00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:30,891
You see, that's why I had to do it.
548
00:38:30,976 --> 00:38:33,352
You think I killed him.
Well, the cops would've thought so too.
549
00:38:33,436 --> 00:38:35,187
Yeah, well maybe they still think so.
550
00:38:36,106 --> 00:38:38,482
What makes you so sure
I'll shut up about this?
551
00:38:38,566 --> 00:38:41,318
Vera, I'm innocent.
Give me a break, will you?
552
00:38:42,696 --> 00:38:44,488
It won't do me any good
having you pinched.
553
00:38:44,572 --> 00:38:46,115
The cops are no friends of mine.
554
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:49,076
Now, if there was a reward...
But there isn't.
555
00:38:49,703 --> 00:38:51,912
- Thanks.
- Don't thank me yet.
556
00:38:51,997 --> 00:38:55,332
I'm not through with you by a long shot.
Let's see that roll.
557
00:39:02,090 --> 00:39:03,674
Is that all Haskell had?
558
00:39:03,758 --> 00:39:05,509
- Isn't it enough?
- No, I thought he had more.
559
00:39:05,593 --> 00:39:07,845
Not that I know of. You can search me
if you think I'm holding out on you.
560
00:39:07,929 --> 00:39:09,596
Well, maybe I will at that.
561
00:39:09,681 --> 00:39:11,807
He told me he was gonna bet $3,000
562
00:39:11,891 --> 00:39:14,560
on a horse named Paradisiacal
on Wednesday at Santa Anita.
563
00:39:14,644 --> 00:39:16,979
- He was stringing you along. He meant 300.
- Maybe.
564
00:39:17,063 --> 00:39:20,357
Sure. Three bucks, 300.
He was a piece of cheese, a big blowhard.
565
00:39:20,442 --> 00:39:23,277
Listen, mister. Don't try and tell me
anything about Charlie Haskell.
566
00:39:23,361 --> 00:39:25,279
Remember, I knew him better than you did.
567
00:39:25,363 --> 00:39:28,073
Okay, then you knew he was a four-flusher.
That explains the three-grand bet.
568
00:39:28,158 --> 00:39:30,576
I'm not so sure
he didn't have that three grand.
569
00:39:30,660 --> 00:39:34,121
Why should I believe you?
You got all the earmarks of a cheap crook.
570
00:39:34,205 --> 00:39:35,622
- Now, wait a minute.
- Shut up.
571
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:37,207
You're a cheap crook and you killed him.
572
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:39,418
For two cents,
I'd change my mind and turn you in.
573
00:39:39,502 --> 00:39:40,794
I don't like you!
574
00:39:40,879 --> 00:39:43,338
- All right, all right. Don't get sore.
- I'm not getting sore.
575
00:39:43,423 --> 00:39:45,507
But just remember who's boss around here.
576
00:39:45,592 --> 00:39:47,134
If you shut up
and don't give me any arguments,
577
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:48,677
you'll have nothing to worry about.
578
00:39:48,762 --> 00:39:50,512
But if you act wise, well, mister,
579
00:39:50,597 --> 00:39:53,182
you'll pop into jail so fast
it'll give you the bends.
580
00:39:53,266 --> 00:39:55,059
- I'm not arguing.
- Well, see that you don't.
581
00:39:55,143 --> 00:39:56,477
You know, as crooked as you look,
582
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:59,605
I'd hate to see a fella as young as you
wind up sniffing that perfume
583
00:39:59,689 --> 00:40:01,482
that Arizona hands out free to murderers.
584
00:40:01,566 --> 00:40:03,233
- I'm not a murderer.
- Of course you're not.
585
00:40:03,318 --> 00:40:04,693
Haskell knocked his own head off.
586
00:40:04,778 --> 00:40:06,278
He fell. That's how it happened,
just like I told you.
587
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:08,530
Sure, and then he made you a present
of his belongings.
588
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:10,324
- I explained why...
- Oh, skip it.
589
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:13,118
Doesn't make a difference one way
or another. I'm not a mourner.
590
00:40:13,203 --> 00:40:15,412
I liked Haskell even less than I like you.
591
00:40:15,955 --> 00:40:17,372
Yeah, I saw what you did to him.
592
00:40:17,457 --> 00:40:19,541
- What do you mean?
- Those scratches on his wrists.
593
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:20,959
Sure, I scratched him.
594
00:40:21,961 --> 00:40:23,128
I'll say you did.
595
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:26,673
So your idea was
to drive the car a little way,
596
00:40:26,758 --> 00:40:28,967
maybe into San Bernardino,
and then leave it.
597
00:40:29,052 --> 00:40:30,385
You weren't gonna sell it?
598
00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:33,597
Sell it? You think I'm crazy?
Somebody else's car?
599
00:40:33,681 --> 00:40:36,266
All I wanna do is leave it somewhere
and forget I ever saw it.
600
00:40:36,351 --> 00:40:39,269
Not only don't you have any scruples,
you don't have any brains.
601
00:40:39,354 --> 00:40:42,022
- I don't get you.
- Maybe it's a good thing you met me.
602
00:40:42,107 --> 00:40:44,983
You would of got yourself caught, sure.
Why, you dope.
603
00:40:45,068 --> 00:40:48,362
Don't you know a deserted automobile
always rates an investigation?
604
00:40:48,696 --> 00:40:49,863
Huh?
605
00:40:49,948 --> 00:40:52,783
Look. The cops find a car.
Then they get curious.
606
00:40:52,867 --> 00:40:54,493
They wonder where the owner is.
607
00:40:54,577 --> 00:40:57,996
So, all right, they don't trace Haskell.
They trace you.
608
00:40:58,206 --> 00:40:59,790
I never thought of that.
609
00:40:59,874 --> 00:41:02,626
The only safe way to get rid of the car
is to sell it to a dealer,
610
00:41:02,710 --> 00:41:04,253
get it registered under a new name.
611
00:41:04,754 --> 00:41:06,004
Say, stop at the next store.
612
00:41:06,089 --> 00:41:08,882
I wanna get a bottle and do some shopping
before we hit LA.
613
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:12,219
Okay. Soon as we find a place,
I'll drop you off and pick you up later.
614
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:14,429
Nothin' doin'. You're coming in too.
615
00:41:14,514 --> 00:41:17,349
From now on,
you and I are like the Siamese twins.
616
00:41:17,433 --> 00:41:19,434
Have it your way,
but I don't get the point.
617
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:21,687
The point is I don't want you to get lost.
618
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:23,397
I'm not gonna beat it,
if that's what you're afraid of.
619
00:41:23,481 --> 00:41:24,648
I'll say you're not.
620
00:41:24,732 --> 00:41:27,568
Well, I'm gonna see that you sell this car
so you don't get caught.
621
00:41:27,652 --> 00:41:31,446
Thanks. Of course, your interest
wouldn't be financial, would it?
622
00:41:31,531 --> 00:41:33,699
You wouldn't want
a small percentage of the profits?
623
00:41:34,284 --> 00:41:37,202
Well, now that you insist,
how can I refuse?
624
00:41:37,287 --> 00:41:38,912
A hundred percent'll do.
625
00:41:38,997 --> 00:41:40,873
Fine. I'm relieved.
626
00:41:40,957 --> 00:41:43,208
I thought for a moment
you were gonna take it all.
627
00:41:43,293 --> 00:41:44,710
I don't want to be a hog.
628
00:41:46,588 --> 00:41:48,672
[Al narrating] A few hours later,
we were in Hollywood.
629
00:41:49,090 --> 00:41:51,466
I was recognizing places
Sue had written about.
630
00:41:52,051 --> 00:41:55,012
It struck me that,
far from being at the end of the trip,
631
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:58,098
there was a greater distance between Sue
and me than when I started out.
632
00:41:59,434 --> 00:42:02,060
Vera wasn't kidding
with that Siamese twins crack.
633
00:42:02,687 --> 00:42:06,106
She rented a little apartment
as Mrs. Charles Haskell.
634
00:42:07,025 --> 00:42:10,110
When I objected to this, she explained
that it was on account of the car.
635
00:42:10,612 --> 00:42:12,154
A dealer might think something was funny
636
00:42:12,238 --> 00:42:14,531
if he called and found
we were using different names.
637
00:42:19,704 --> 00:42:21,538
- Home, sweet home.
- Yeah.
638
00:42:22,457 --> 00:42:23,498
Not bad, either.
639
00:42:31,466 --> 00:42:33,842
In case there's any doubt in your mind,
I'll take the bedroom.
640
00:42:34,302 --> 00:42:35,177
Yeah.
641
00:42:36,471 --> 00:42:37,846
Sure is stuffy in here.
642
00:42:45,980 --> 00:42:47,689
- Keep the window shut.
- Okay.
643
00:42:50,026 --> 00:42:53,487
The old crow downstairs said
there's a folding bed behind this door.
644
00:42:59,535 --> 00:43:00,702
You know how to work it?
645
00:43:04,457 --> 00:43:05,540
I invented it.
646
00:43:09,504 --> 00:43:11,630
- Some joint.
- One can't have everything.
647
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,387
I'm first in the bathtub.
648
00:43:19,180 --> 00:43:22,140
I don't know why,
but I figured you would be.
649
00:43:31,985 --> 00:43:35,570
Boy, oh, boy. [sighs]
It sure feels good to be clean again.
650
00:43:36,948 --> 00:43:38,407
I must be ten pounds lighter.
651
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:40,450
You must be.
652
00:43:40,535 --> 00:43:42,077
[saxophone playing]
653
00:43:42,161 --> 00:43:45,372
Well, hitchin' rides isn't exactly the way
you keep your schoolgirl complexion.
654
00:43:49,585 --> 00:43:51,712
I wish that guy with the sax
would give up.
655
00:43:53,089 --> 00:43:54,423
It gets on my nerves.
656
00:43:56,509 --> 00:43:57,509
Forget it.
657
00:44:00,138 --> 00:44:01,179
Have a drink.
658
00:44:02,390 --> 00:44:04,141
Aren't you afraid
I'm gonna take you up on it?
659
00:44:06,269 --> 00:44:08,562
If I didn't wanna give you a drink,
I wouldn't have offered it.
660
00:44:09,731 --> 00:44:12,983
Why be a sorehead, Roberts?
You got yourself into this thing.
661
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:15,902
You should be grateful
I'm not turning you in.
662
00:44:16,904 --> 00:44:19,114
Why, if I wasn't regular,
you'd be in the pen this minute
663
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:22,284
being photographed, fingerprinted,
and being pushed around by the cops.
664
00:44:23,077 --> 00:44:25,620
So cheer up. Get rid of that long puss.
665
00:44:27,874 --> 00:44:29,666
Or is your conscience bothering you?
666
00:44:34,672 --> 00:44:35,505
No.
667
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:37,382
It isn't.
668
00:44:37,467 --> 00:44:39,468
Swell. That's the spirit.
669
00:44:41,012 --> 00:44:43,180
He's dead,
and no moaning around will bring him back.
670
00:44:46,684 --> 00:44:50,312
Anyway, I never could understand this worrying
about something that's over and done with.
671
00:44:50,396 --> 00:44:52,439
Now look, Vera.
For the last time, I didn't kill him.
672
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:53,982
Haskell was a sick man.
673
00:44:54,067 --> 00:44:56,109
Maybe he was dead before he fell
out of the car. I don't know.
674
00:44:56,194 --> 00:44:58,403
Sure, sure. He died of old age.
675
00:44:59,364 --> 00:45:00,364
All right.
676
00:45:01,324 --> 00:45:02,824
So if it'll make you sociable...
677
00:45:04,577 --> 00:45:05,827
you didn't kill him.
678
00:45:16,464 --> 00:45:17,297
Thanks.
679
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:31,186
- We're outta liquor, Roberts.
- Yeah.
680
00:45:32,313 --> 00:45:35,440
Too bad.
I felt like getting tight tonight.
681
00:45:35,525 --> 00:45:37,567
Well, I think you succeeded.
682
00:45:37,652 --> 00:45:40,737
- Am I tight?
- As a prima donna's corset.
683
00:45:40,822 --> 00:45:42,197
- That's good.
- [glass clatters]
684
00:45:42,281 --> 00:45:44,074
I wanted to get tight.
685
00:45:44,158 --> 00:45:46,785
Why? What have you got to get tight about?
686
00:45:46,869 --> 00:45:49,246
Oh, I don't know. A few things.
687
00:45:50,123 --> 00:45:50,956
[Al] Huh.
688
00:45:52,583 --> 00:45:54,042
You should have my worries.
689
00:45:54,127 --> 00:45:56,670
If I had your troubles, I'd stay sober.
690
00:45:56,754 --> 00:45:58,380
And I've got the key to that door.
691
00:46:01,926 --> 00:46:04,678
Yeah. Maybe you're right.
692
00:46:04,762 --> 00:46:06,388
I'm always right.
693
00:46:07,723 --> 00:46:10,183
You know, I don't like your attitude,
Roberts.
694
00:46:10,268 --> 00:46:12,018
Well, there's a lot of things I don't like.
695
00:46:13,479 --> 00:46:14,813
Say...
696
00:46:17,191 --> 00:46:19,276
But life's like a ball game.
697
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,111
You got to take a swing
at whatever comes along
698
00:46:21,195 --> 00:46:23,613
before you wake up
and find it's the ninth inning.
699
00:46:24,532 --> 00:46:25,782
Bet you read that somewhere.
700
00:46:25,867 --> 00:46:29,703
That's the trouble with you, Roberts.
All you do is bellyache.
701
00:46:30,788 --> 00:46:35,500
You could have taken it easy and,
well, try and make the best of things.
702
00:46:35,585 --> 00:46:38,378
But maybe that's what's wrong
with the whole world.
703
00:46:38,463 --> 00:46:40,297
Get the professor.
704
00:46:40,381 --> 00:46:43,133
People knock themselves out
trying to buck fate.
705
00:46:43,217 --> 00:46:46,386
Now take you, for instance.
You're lucky to be alive.
706
00:46:46,471 --> 00:46:49,055
Why, suppose Haskell had pulled open
your door?
707
00:46:49,140 --> 00:46:51,850
You'd be playing a harp now.
Think of that.
708
00:46:53,603 --> 00:46:56,855
You think of it. I'm tired of thinking.
709
00:46:56,939 --> 00:46:59,816
There's plenty of people dying this minute
710
00:46:59,901 --> 00:47:02,402
that would give anything
to trade places with you.
711
00:47:04,363 --> 00:47:05,989
I know what I'm talking about.
712
00:47:07,033 --> 00:47:10,744
I'm not so sure.
At least they know they're done for.
713
00:47:10,828 --> 00:47:13,580
They don't just sweat blood
wondering if they are.
714
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:16,750
Your philosophy stinks, pal.
715
00:47:18,002 --> 00:47:21,796
We all know we're gonna kick off someday.
It's only a question of when.
716
00:47:23,591 --> 00:47:26,551
But what got us on this subject anyway?
717
00:47:26,636 --> 00:47:28,553
We'll be discussing politics next.
718
00:47:29,388 --> 00:47:30,472
Yeah.
719
00:47:32,058 --> 00:47:33,433
Where'd you hide the butts?
720
00:47:34,310 --> 00:47:35,936
On the table, sucker.
721
00:47:43,611 --> 00:47:47,113
[Al narrating] We bored each other with
conversation for a couple of hours longer.
722
00:47:47,198 --> 00:47:50,408
Every five minutes, one of us was wishing
we had another bottle or a radio
723
00:47:50,493 --> 00:47:52,118
or something to read.
724
00:47:53,538 --> 00:47:55,247
Then finally we ran out of chat.
725
00:47:56,207 --> 00:47:57,499
I know it's only eleven o'clock,
726
00:47:57,583 --> 00:48:00,085
but I want to get up early
and make the rounds to the used car lots.
727
00:48:00,169 --> 00:48:03,088
No hurry about that.
We got all the time in the world.
728
00:48:03,172 --> 00:48:05,257
Maybe you have, but if you think
I want to stay cooped up in this place
729
00:48:05,341 --> 00:48:06,925
any longer than I have to, you're batty.
730
00:48:07,009 --> 00:48:10,262
It's not a bad place. Pay plenty
for diggings like this in New York.
731
00:48:10,346 --> 00:48:12,347
I wouldn't like it if it was the Ritz.
732
00:48:12,431 --> 00:48:14,849
[coughs]
733
00:48:16,602 --> 00:48:18,144
Rotten liquor. [coughs]
734
00:48:18,229 --> 00:48:20,981
You got a mean cough.
Ought to do something about it.
735
00:48:21,065 --> 00:48:22,315
I'll be all right.
736
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,817
That's what Camille said.
737
00:48:24,527 --> 00:48:25,652
Who?
738
00:48:25,736 --> 00:48:27,195
Nobody you know.
739
00:48:30,908 --> 00:48:33,368
- Wasn't that the dame that died of consumption?
- Yeah.
740
00:48:34,704 --> 00:48:37,289
Wouldn't it be a break for you
if I did kick off.
741
00:48:37,373 --> 00:48:40,333
You'd be free
with all Haskell's dough and car.
742
00:48:40,418 --> 00:48:42,043
I don't want to see anybody die.
743
00:48:43,212 --> 00:48:44,921
Not even me?
744
00:48:45,006 --> 00:48:48,008
Especially not you. One person died on me.
745
00:48:48,092 --> 00:48:50,510
If you did, well, that's all I need.
746
00:48:52,388 --> 00:48:54,222
You don't like me, do you, Roberts?
747
00:48:55,933 --> 00:48:56,975
Like you?
748
00:48:58,352 --> 00:48:59,769
I love you.
749
00:49:01,022 --> 00:49:02,981
My favorite sport is being kept prisoner.
750
00:49:04,025 --> 00:49:07,485
After we sell the car, you can go to blazes
for all I care, but not until then.
751
00:49:14,910 --> 00:49:16,536
I'm going to bed.
752
00:49:24,962 --> 00:49:26,463
Good night, Roberts.
753
00:49:26,547 --> 00:49:29,549
Don't try and sneak away during the night.
All the doors are locked.
754
00:49:29,634 --> 00:49:33,136
Anyway, if I find you gone in the morning,
I'll notify the police.
755
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:35,889
- They'll pick you up.
- Don't worry. I know when I'm in a spot.
756
00:49:36,974 --> 00:49:40,935
Well, good night. I hope that portable
rack isn't too uncomfortable for you.
757
00:49:41,020 --> 00:49:43,146
Don't lose any sleep over it,
will you, Vera?
758
00:49:44,940 --> 00:49:47,025
[key scratching lock]
759
00:50:20,601 --> 00:50:21,935
[softly] CRestview...
760
00:50:23,813 --> 00:50:29,651
6... 5... 7,
761
00:50:29,735 --> 00:50:32,654
[whispers] 2... 3.
762
00:50:33,948 --> 00:50:35,073
Hello?
763
00:50:36,117 --> 00:50:37,117
Hello!
764
00:50:38,327 --> 00:50:39,411
Hello?
765
00:50:40,579 --> 00:50:41,746
Hello?
766
00:50:48,295 --> 00:50:51,881
No. Not yet, darling.
767
00:50:53,134 --> 00:50:54,509
Tomorrow.
768
00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:56,928
Maybe.
769
00:51:00,391 --> 00:51:01,891
[Al narrating] if this were fiction,
770
00:51:01,976 --> 00:51:05,562
I would fall in love with her, marry her,
and make a respectable woman of her,
771
00:51:05,646 --> 00:51:09,816
or else she'd make some supreme,
class-A sacrifice for me and die.
772
00:51:11,152 --> 00:51:13,361
Sue and I would ball a little
over her grave
773
00:51:13,446 --> 00:51:16,448
and make some crack about
"there's good in all of us."
774
00:51:16,532 --> 00:51:20,160
But Vera, unfortunately,
was just as rotten in the morning
775
00:51:20,244 --> 00:51:21,870
as she'd been the night before.
776
00:51:21,954 --> 00:51:23,455
[knocking]
777
00:51:23,539 --> 00:51:25,415
All right, all right, I'm coming.
778
00:51:25,499 --> 00:51:27,459
[Al] Look, Vera, it's almost noon.
779
00:51:29,003 --> 00:51:31,254
So what?
The dealers will be there all day.
780
00:51:31,338 --> 00:51:34,007
They'll be there all year too, but it
doesn't mean I'm gonna wait that long.
781
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:36,551
Shut up.
You're making noises like a husband.
782
00:51:39,180 --> 00:51:42,932
- Well, do I rate a whistle?
- You sure do, but let's go.
783
00:51:43,017 --> 00:51:46,519
Let's go, let's go. I spend 85 bucks
and two hours preparing bait,
784
00:51:46,604 --> 00:51:48,188
and all you can say is "Let's go."
785
00:51:48,272 --> 00:51:51,274
[sighs] Come on.
786
00:51:56,071 --> 00:51:58,698
We passed a few used car lots
last night down this way.
787
00:51:58,783 --> 00:52:00,784
What do you think
we can get for this heap?
788
00:52:00,868 --> 00:52:04,496
I don't know. Plenty.
You just let me handle everything.
789
00:52:04,580 --> 00:52:06,206
You think we can get $2,000?
790
00:52:06,290 --> 00:52:07,707
I don't know. But don't worry.
791
00:52:07,792 --> 00:52:10,126
I'll squeeze as much
out of this guy as I can.
792
00:52:10,211 --> 00:52:13,296
If I let it go cheap without a fight,
he might think we've stolen the car.
793
00:52:13,380 --> 00:52:17,675
And listen, don't make any slips
and call me Roberts. That'll cook us.
794
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,636
I don't need you to tell me that.
795
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:21,930
You better just sit by
and keep your mouth closed.
796
00:52:22,014 --> 00:52:24,015
Remember, we're both in the soup
if anything happens.
797
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:25,642
Forget it and drive.
798
00:52:25,726 --> 00:52:28,144
You're my wife... Vera Haskell.
799
00:52:28,229 --> 00:52:32,315
Look, after the deal's closed, let's go
back to that place on Hollywood Boulevard
800
00:52:32,399 --> 00:52:33,942
where I saw the fur jacket.
801
00:52:34,026 --> 00:52:35,235
I want to buy it.
802
00:52:35,319 --> 00:52:37,987
After the deal's closed,
I'm saying good-bye to you.
803
00:52:38,072 --> 00:52:41,491
That's right. I forgot.
I guess I'm getting kind of used to you.
804
00:52:42,743 --> 00:52:45,036
Well, that's a habit
you can start breaking.
805
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,455
Let's try this place
in the middle of the block.
806
00:52:53,671 --> 00:52:55,129
Good afternoon. What can I do for you?
807
00:52:55,214 --> 00:52:58,508
- We're interested in selling a car.
- If the price is right.
808
00:53:01,387 --> 00:53:05,473
Well, if it's in good mechanical condition,
it should blue book for about 1,600.
809
00:53:06,475 --> 00:53:07,892
Tony, take a look at this motor.
810
00:53:07,977 --> 00:53:10,228
1,600. Are you kidding?
811
00:53:14,108 --> 00:53:15,900
[car hood opening]
812
00:53:21,448 --> 00:53:23,283
Well, maybe 1,850.
813
00:53:23,367 --> 00:53:26,744
Before I let it go for 1,850, I'll wreck it
and collect the insurance first.
814
00:53:26,829 --> 00:53:27,912
[coughs]
815
00:53:31,375 --> 00:53:33,376
Lady, this motor's seen a lot of driving.
816
00:53:39,925 --> 00:53:43,219
[Al narrating] While the mechanic
inspected the car, we haggled.
817
00:53:43,721 --> 00:53:46,973
At last, when we were all worn out,
we hit a compromise...
818
00:53:47,057 --> 00:53:48,600
his price.
819
00:53:51,896 --> 00:53:53,104
Okay, it's a deal.
820
00:53:53,188 --> 00:53:56,524
- Come in, we'll sign the papers.
- I have the ownership papers here with me.
821
00:53:56,609 --> 00:53:59,319
Look, Vera, in the meantime,
will you clean out the dash compartment?
822
00:53:59,403 --> 00:54:02,196
- There may be some stuff in it.
- All right, darling.
823
00:54:04,325 --> 00:54:06,534
1,850 bucks.
824
00:54:06,619 --> 00:54:08,244
That dirty cr...
825
00:54:15,544 --> 00:54:17,420
- Mm, New York, huh?
- Yeah.
826
00:54:17,504 --> 00:54:20,757
- But you bought the car in Miami?
- Yeah.
827
00:54:20,841 --> 00:54:22,467
Well, now, let's see about the insurance.
828
00:54:22,551 --> 00:54:24,552
We can either have it transferred
or canceled.
829
00:54:24,637 --> 00:54:27,263
Uh, what kind of insurance do you have,
Mr. Haskell?
830
00:54:28,432 --> 00:54:31,559
Well, uh, aren't all the papers there?
831
00:54:33,729 --> 00:54:37,857
I don't see any. Surely you know what type
of insurance you carry on the car.
832
00:54:37,942 --> 00:54:39,442
The name of the company?
833
00:54:40,277 --> 00:54:41,486
Yeah, but, uh...
834
00:54:41,570 --> 00:54:43,321
Well, if you'll just tell me
the name of the company,
835
00:54:43,405 --> 00:54:45,114
I'd be very glad to take care
of all the details.
836
00:54:45,199 --> 00:54:46,324
Well...
837
00:54:46,408 --> 00:54:48,409
- Did you sign the papers yet?
- Not yet.
838
00:54:48,494 --> 00:54:50,536
Well, don't. We're not selling the car.
839
00:54:50,621 --> 00:54:52,538
- Well, wait a minute, Mrs. Haskell...
- Come on, darling.
840
00:54:52,623 --> 00:54:55,917
- What's the matter? Change your mind?
- Yes. I'm sorry. I guess I have.
841
00:54:56,001 --> 00:54:57,377
- But, Vera...
- Let's go.
842
00:55:03,384 --> 00:55:06,636
You got me out of a tight spot, Vera,
but I still don't understand all this.
843
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:09,722
You will in a minute.
I almost threw away a gold mine.
844
00:55:09,807 --> 00:55:13,726
1,850 isn't to be sneezed at. The car
doesn't book for as much as I thought.
845
00:55:13,811 --> 00:55:15,478
We're not selling the car.
846
00:55:15,562 --> 00:55:17,438
You want to keep it?
Now wait a minute, Vera.
847
00:55:17,523 --> 00:55:20,608
You said yourself I wouldn't be safe
until the car was in someone else's name.
848
00:55:20,693 --> 00:55:22,360
I'd like to be free of this mess
when I go.
849
00:55:22,444 --> 00:55:24,612
That's just it, Roberts. You're not going.
850
00:55:25,531 --> 00:55:27,365
- [sighs]
- There's a drive-in at the next corner.
851
00:55:27,449 --> 00:55:30,201
Pull in there and we'll get a bite to eat
and I'll explain.
852
00:55:30,285 --> 00:55:32,453
What is this,
another one of your brilliant ideas?
853
00:55:38,794 --> 00:55:41,671
- Hello. May I take your order?
- Make mine a ham sandwich and coffee.
854
00:55:41,755 --> 00:55:44,340
- And for you, sir?
- Oh, I don't care. The same.
855
00:55:46,510 --> 00:55:47,719
Thank you.
856
00:55:52,224 --> 00:55:55,226
Get this, Vera,
I've been pretty patient so far.
857
00:55:55,310 --> 00:55:57,311
I've done everything you asked me to do,
but no more.
858
00:55:57,396 --> 00:55:59,564
- Shut up.
- You've taken Haskell's money.
859
00:55:59,648 --> 00:56:01,524
And you can have the dough we get
from selling the car,
860
00:56:01,608 --> 00:56:03,192
but you're not gonna keep me a prisoner.
861
00:56:03,277 --> 00:56:05,069
It's a good thing I bought the paper.
Look at that.
862
00:56:05,154 --> 00:56:07,030
- Vera, I'm in no mood...
- Read that.
863
00:56:17,708 --> 00:56:19,292
- No.
- Yes.
864
00:56:19,376 --> 00:56:20,960
- No, I won't do it.
- Yes, you will.
865
00:56:21,045 --> 00:56:23,254
You think I'm crazy.
It's impossible, I tell ya.
866
00:56:24,131 --> 00:56:25,173
Excuse me.
867
00:56:30,637 --> 00:56:32,138
Blow the horn when you're through.
868
00:56:35,350 --> 00:56:38,561
No one could possibly get away with an act
like that. Be wise to me in a minute.
869
00:56:38,645 --> 00:56:39,812
Don't be yellow.
870
00:56:39,897 --> 00:56:42,690
You look enough like him.
The same coloring and the same build.
871
00:56:42,775 --> 00:56:44,358
See how his clothes fit ya?
872
00:56:44,443 --> 00:56:46,235
No kidding. You almost
had me fooled for a while.
873
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:47,528
Oh, grow up, Vera.
874
00:56:47,613 --> 00:56:50,406
Don't you think a father knows his own
son? There must be other relatives.
875
00:56:50,491 --> 00:56:53,326
The father won't have to know ya.
We'll wait till he gives up the ghost.
876
00:56:53,410 --> 00:56:55,411
He's an old geezer
and he won't pull through.
877
00:56:55,496 --> 00:56:59,373
And as far as the relatives are concerned,
they haven't seen you in 15 or 20 years.
878
00:57:00,876 --> 00:57:02,585
- Eat.
- I'm not hungry.
879
00:57:03,253 --> 00:57:06,130
- And I won't do it.
- It's not as tough as it sounds.
880
00:57:06,215 --> 00:57:08,049
Remember, you've got
all kinds of identification...
881
00:57:08,133 --> 00:57:09,133
his car, letters, license...
882
00:57:09,218 --> 00:57:11,761
I could never get away with it.
It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
883
00:57:11,845 --> 00:57:13,888
The old boy has scads of dough.
884
00:57:13,972 --> 00:57:17,141
Look in the paper there. Personal fortune
assessed at over 15 million.
885
00:57:17,226 --> 00:57:18,684
He'll leave plenty, I tell ya.
886
00:57:18,769 --> 00:57:20,937
Maybe he cut off his son.
How do we know?
887
00:57:21,021 --> 00:57:23,606
It's out, Vera.
I won't have anything to do with it.
888
00:57:24,817 --> 00:57:27,068
I think you will.
889
00:57:27,152 --> 00:57:30,696
Look, Vera, I'll do anything
within reason, but not that.
890
00:57:30,781 --> 00:57:32,698
So forget it or find yourself another stooge.
891
00:57:32,783 --> 00:57:34,033
You sap!
892
00:57:34,785 --> 00:57:36,911
You'll be fixed for the rest of your life
as Charlie Haskell.
893
00:57:36,995 --> 00:57:40,081
You can take your inheritance and go away.
No more worrying about the rent.
894
00:57:40,165 --> 00:57:42,291
No sweating, scheming, wondering
where your next meal's coming from!
895
00:57:42,376 --> 00:57:43,417
Think about that, Roberts!
896
00:57:43,502 --> 00:57:46,295
Vera, please. You're talking too loud.
897
00:57:46,713 --> 00:57:49,298
On this I'm splitting 50-50 with you.
Sure, why not?
898
00:57:49,383 --> 00:57:51,050
We're both alike.
Both born in the same gutter.
899
00:57:51,135 --> 00:57:52,301
Now take it easy, Vera.
900
00:57:52,386 --> 00:57:54,637
There's people around here.
You don't know what you're talking...
901
00:57:55,806 --> 00:57:59,684
We'll wait till we read that old man
Haskell's dead. Then you show up.
902
00:57:59,768 --> 00:58:02,061
Like you read in New York
that he was sick.
903
00:58:02,146 --> 00:58:04,772
No! Suppose he doesn't die?
904
00:58:04,857 --> 00:58:06,941
He will. I know he will.
Something tells me.
905
00:58:09,611 --> 00:58:12,405
[Al narrating] But as much as I insisted
I would have no part of her scheme,
906
00:58:12,489 --> 00:58:14,448
Vera was taking it for granted I would.
907
00:58:16,535 --> 00:58:19,954
Neither of us had our mind on the cards
as we played that night.
908
00:58:20,038 --> 00:58:23,207
I knew we were just trying to kill time
between newspaper editions.
909
00:58:24,042 --> 00:58:26,002
This was a deathwatch for Vera.
910
00:58:27,129 --> 00:58:28,713
Maybe it was for me too.
911
00:58:28,797 --> 00:58:32,383
Don't you realize if I'm caught they'll want
to know where I got the car and stuff?
912
00:58:32,467 --> 00:58:35,595
- Then they'll have me on a murder charge.
- If you're smart, you won't get caught.
913
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:37,054
I knock with seven.
914
00:58:37,139 --> 00:58:39,348
And if I'm caught,
don't you realize you'll be out too?
915
00:58:39,808 --> 00:58:42,935
Eighteen points. That gives me 30.
916
00:58:44,188 --> 00:58:45,438
How will I be out?
917
00:58:45,522 --> 00:58:47,982
You'll be out $1,850 we would have gotten
on the car.
918
00:58:48,066 --> 00:58:49,483
Really, Vera, you'd be an awful chump
919
00:58:49,568 --> 00:58:51,569
if you threw away all that dough
on a dizzy long shot.
920
00:58:51,653 --> 00:58:52,904
Let me sell the bus tomorrow.
921
00:58:52,988 --> 00:58:54,655
With the money it'll bring
and what you've already got,
922
00:58:54,740 --> 00:58:56,449
a clever kid like you
can run it up in no time.
923
00:58:56,533 --> 00:58:59,035
- Then we'd both be in the clear.
- I'll be in the clear anyway.
924
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:00,912
Maybe. Maybe.
925
00:59:00,996 --> 00:59:02,580
But if I got caught...
926
00:59:03,540 --> 00:59:06,083
- I'd get good and sore at you, you know.
- You mean you'd squeal?
927
00:59:06,168 --> 00:59:08,377
- Well, no, not squeal exactly...
- Never mind what you meant!
928
00:59:11,048 --> 00:59:14,425
Even if you did tell the cops
I was in on it with you,
929
00:59:14,509 --> 00:59:15,885
what could they do to me?
930
00:59:16,929 --> 00:59:19,347
They might give me the same medicine
they gave you.
931
00:59:19,431 --> 00:59:21,140
- Yeah.
- A rope.
932
00:59:23,644 --> 00:59:25,770
But I'm on my way anyhow.
933
00:59:27,731 --> 00:59:29,732
All they'll be doing will be rushing it.
934
00:59:30,359 --> 00:59:32,818
All right. But think of the 1,850 you'd lose.
935
00:59:32,903 --> 00:59:35,655
You'd kick yourself along the block
if you let that get away from you.
936
00:59:35,739 --> 00:59:38,658
I'll take the chance. Want another drink?
937
00:59:38,742 --> 00:59:41,744
You're being a goon. That's the way
people wind up behind the eight ball.
938
00:59:41,828 --> 00:59:44,330
Once they get a few dollars,
they become greedy and want more.
939
00:59:44,414 --> 00:59:45,706
My, my.
940
00:59:45,791 --> 00:59:46,791
- Caesar.
- Who?
941
00:59:46,875 --> 00:59:49,585
You know, that Roman general?
He got his for being greedy.
942
00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:52,838
He wasn't satisfied.
So the final windup was he took the count.
943
00:59:52,923 --> 00:59:55,299
A couple of days ago you didn't have a dime.
944
00:59:55,384 --> 00:59:58,219
Why, you were so broke
you couldn't pay cash for a postage stamp.
945
00:59:58,303 --> 01:00:01,347
Now you've got almost $700,
with 1,850 in the offing.
946
01:00:01,431 --> 01:00:03,099
Take my advice. Don't try for more.
947
01:00:03,183 --> 01:00:05,768
I'm tired of this game.
Let's have some blackjack.
948
01:00:05,852 --> 01:00:06,686
Play solitaire.
949
01:00:06,770 --> 01:00:09,313
- I will, if that's the way you feel about it.
- That's the way I feel about it.
950
01:00:09,398 --> 01:00:11,607
Getting sore and throwing things
won't help much, Roberts.
951
01:00:11,692 --> 01:00:15,111
I'm merely doing you a favor. I help you out of
a jam by keepin' my mouth shut.
952
01:00:15,195 --> 01:00:18,072
I show you how to make some soft money,
and what thanks do I get?
953
01:00:18,156 --> 01:00:19,156
- Thanks?
- Sure.
954
01:00:19,241 --> 01:00:21,659
Or would you rather I called the cops and told
them you killed a man and stole his money?
955
01:00:21,743 --> 01:00:22,827
- I didn't kill anybody.
- Yes, you did.
956
01:00:22,911 --> 01:00:25,705
- No, I didn't. You know I didn't.
- All right, then.
957
01:00:28,542 --> 01:00:30,251
Suppose I call the cops?
958
01:00:30,335 --> 01:00:32,920
If you're innocent,
what do you got to be scared of?
959
01:00:33,005 --> 01:00:36,590
Okay, call 'em, you mutt. Go ahead and call 'em.
See if I care.
960
01:00:36,675 --> 01:00:39,552
- At least they'll give me a square deal.
- You want me to call 'em?
961
01:00:39,636 --> 01:00:43,597
You heard me. But I'm warning ya.
If I'm pinched, I'll swear you were in on it.
962
01:00:43,682 --> 01:00:46,976
I'll say that you helped me.
If I'm frying, I'll get even with you.
963
01:00:47,060 --> 01:00:48,686
You wouldn't dare. You're chicken!
964
01:00:48,770 --> 01:00:52,815
Yeah? Then try it and see.
Call 'em. Yeah.
965
01:00:53,650 --> 01:00:55,067
Okay, I will.
966
01:00:57,112 --> 01:01:00,489
[dialing]
967
01:01:07,706 --> 01:01:09,915
Information.
968
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,835
I want the number
of the Hollywood police station.
969
01:01:14,713 --> 01:01:16,756
Okay, I got it. Thanks.
970
01:01:17,966 --> 01:01:19,592
[phone hook clicks]
971
01:01:19,676 --> 01:01:21,677
- [dialing]
- Wait a minute, Vera. You wouldn't do that.
972
01:01:21,762 --> 01:01:23,721
Oh, wouldn't I? Give me that
and I'll show you if I would!
973
01:01:23,805 --> 01:01:25,681
Take it easy now. Let's talk this over.
974
01:01:25,766 --> 01:01:27,558
[Al narrating]
This was early in the evening.
975
01:01:27,642 --> 01:01:32,146
And the conversation, while hectic,
was at least pitched low.
976
01:01:32,230 --> 01:01:36,776
But as the minutes passed and more obstacles
to her plan popped into my head,
977
01:01:36,860 --> 01:01:38,486
the air got blue.
978
01:01:38,570 --> 01:01:41,822
Each word coming from our lips
cracked like a whip.
979
01:01:41,907 --> 01:01:45,785
I reminded her that as Charles Haskell
I didn't even know my mother's name,
980
01:01:45,869 --> 01:01:47,578
where I'd gone to school,
981
01:01:47,662 --> 01:01:49,413
the name of my best friend,
982
01:01:49,498 --> 01:01:51,415
whether I had an Aunt Emma or not,
983
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:54,794
my religion, and if I'd ever owned a dog.
984
01:01:54,878 --> 01:01:57,463
I didn't even know
what my middle initial stood for.
985
01:01:57,547 --> 01:02:00,925
I also pointed out that the real Haskell
had a scar on his forearm.
986
01:02:01,510 --> 01:02:03,302
His people never saw that scar.
987
01:02:03,387 --> 01:02:05,596
He told me he ran away
right after putting out the kid's eye.
988
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,140
Yeah, but his father knew he was cut.
There'd have to be some kind of mark.
989
01:02:08,225 --> 01:02:10,434
So what?
990
01:02:10,519 --> 01:02:14,438
The old man's dead or will be.
I hope by tomorrow morning's papers.
991
01:02:14,523 --> 01:02:18,025
Anyway, you could cut yourself
a little, couldn't ya?
992
01:02:19,027 --> 01:02:22,321
Boy, for that kind of dough,
I'd let you cut my leg off.
993
01:02:22,406 --> 01:02:23,989
You're drunk and you're crazy mad, Vera.
994
01:02:24,074 --> 01:02:26,033
Turn me in if you want to,
but I won't get mixed up in this.
995
01:02:26,118 --> 01:02:28,160
Besides, how do we know?
Haskell was such a phony.
996
01:02:28,245 --> 01:02:30,371
Maybe he wasn't the man's son at all.
Maybe he just dreamed it up.
997
01:02:30,455 --> 01:02:35,918
Well, dreaming or not, you won't be dreaming
when the law taps you on the shoulder.
998
01:02:36,002 --> 01:02:39,588
There's a cute little gas chamber
waiting for you, Roberts.
999
01:02:39,673 --> 01:02:43,134
And I hear extradition to Arizona's a cinch.
1000
01:02:43,218 --> 01:02:45,052
Where's that phone?
1001
01:02:45,137 --> 01:02:46,512
- Vera.
- Leave me alone!
1002
01:02:46,596 --> 01:02:50,057
- Vera!
- I wanna phone, call the police.
1003
01:02:50,767 --> 01:02:54,812
I hate you, you stinker.
You leave me alone!
1004
01:02:54,896 --> 01:02:57,106
I'll let you alone when you promise to leave
the phone where it is.
1005
01:02:57,190 --> 01:02:59,150
- You're drunk. You don't know what you're doing.
- You're hurting me.
1006
01:02:59,234 --> 01:03:00,860
Will you promise?
1007
01:03:00,944 --> 01:03:02,528
All right.
1008
01:03:07,492 --> 01:03:10,327
- You hurt me.
- I'm sorry, but...
1009
01:03:10,412 --> 01:03:13,372
- And it's hot in here! Open up a window!
- It's not hot!
1010
01:03:13,457 --> 01:03:16,125
Don't tell me!
Now do you do it or do I do it?
1011
01:03:18,086 --> 01:03:19,837
You're no gentleman, see?
1012
01:03:19,921 --> 01:03:23,299
Yeah. All right, I'll open up the window.
1013
01:03:26,428 --> 01:03:27,511
Vera!
1014
01:03:31,892 --> 01:03:34,643
Vera, open the door.
Please open the door.
1015
01:03:34,728 --> 01:03:36,854
Vera, open the door.
Don't use the phone. Listen to me.
1016
01:03:37,522 --> 01:03:40,983
I don't like you, Roberts.
You're no gentleman, see?
1017
01:03:41,067 --> 01:03:45,154
You hurt my hand,
and I'm gonna get even with you.
1018
01:03:45,238 --> 01:03:48,407
If you don't open the door,
I'm gonna kick it down, Vera.
1019
01:03:48,492 --> 01:03:51,368
Vera, don't call the cops.
Listen to me, I'll do anything you say.
1020
01:03:52,287 --> 01:03:53,746
Vera, let me in!
1021
01:03:55,207 --> 01:03:56,665
I'll break the phone!
1022
01:04:14,267 --> 01:04:17,269
[grunting]
1023
01:04:22,609 --> 01:04:23,943
Vera.
1024
01:04:34,579 --> 01:04:36,539
[Al narrating] The world is full of skeptics.
1025
01:04:37,290 --> 01:04:39,667
I know. I'm one myself.
1026
01:04:40,669 --> 01:04:43,712
In the Haskell business, how many of you
would believe he fell out of the car?
1027
01:04:43,797 --> 01:04:46,173
And now, after killing Vera
without really meaning to do it,
1028
01:04:46,258 --> 01:04:48,676
how many of you would believe
it wasn't premeditated?
1029
01:04:49,719 --> 01:04:53,264
In a jury room, every last man of you
would go down shouting
1030
01:04:53,348 --> 01:04:56,058
that she had me over a barrel
and my only out was force.
1031
01:04:58,103 --> 01:04:59,728
The room was still.
1032
01:05:00,730 --> 01:05:03,691
So quiet that for a while I'd wondered
if I'd suddenly gone deaf.
1033
01:05:04,484 --> 01:05:06,235
It was pure fear, of course.
1034
01:05:06,319 --> 01:05:08,195
And I was hysterical,
1035
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:09,989
but without making a sound.
1036
01:05:11,324 --> 01:05:14,285
Vera was dead, and I was her murderer.
1037
01:05:15,370 --> 01:05:19,873
Murderer. What an awful word that is.
But I'd become one.
1038
01:05:19,958 --> 01:05:22,042
I'd better not get caught.
1039
01:05:22,127 --> 01:05:24,628
What evidence there was around the place
had to be destroyed.
1040
01:05:24,713 --> 01:05:26,505
And from the looks of things, there was plenty.
1041
01:05:26,590 --> 01:05:28,299
Looking around the room at things we'd bought
1042
01:05:28,383 --> 01:05:30,801
was like looking into the faces of
a hundred people who'd seen us together
1043
01:05:30,885 --> 01:05:32,803
and who remembered me.
1044
01:05:32,887 --> 01:05:35,306
This was the kind of testimony
I couldn't rub out.
1045
01:05:36,808 --> 01:05:38,058
No.
1046
01:05:38,143 --> 01:05:41,312
I could burn clothes and hide bottles
for the next five years.
1047
01:05:41,396 --> 01:05:42,855
There'd always be witnesses.
1048
01:05:42,939 --> 01:05:44,732
The landlady for one.
She could identify me.
1049
01:05:44,816 --> 01:05:46,233
The car dealer, the waitress in the drive-in,
1050
01:05:46,318 --> 01:05:48,819
the girl in the dress shop,
and that guy in the liquor store.
1051
01:05:48,903 --> 01:05:50,696
They could all identify me.
1052
01:05:52,032 --> 01:05:55,868
I was cooked. Done for.
I had to get out of there.
1053
01:05:57,203 --> 01:05:59,330
While once I remained beside a dead body
1054
01:05:59,414 --> 01:06:02,416
planning carefully how to avoid
being accused of killing him,
1055
01:06:02,500 --> 01:06:04,752
this time I couldn't.
1056
01:06:04,836 --> 01:06:06,503
This time I was guilty.
1057
01:06:07,422 --> 01:06:09,923
I knew it. Felt it.
1058
01:06:10,967 --> 01:06:13,218
I was like a guy suffering from shock.
1059
01:06:13,303 --> 01:06:14,970
Things were whirling around in my head.
1060
01:06:15,055 --> 01:06:17,890
I couldn't make myself think right.
1061
01:06:17,974 --> 01:06:21,435
All I could think of was the guy with
the saxophone and what he was playing.
1062
01:06:22,437 --> 01:06:24,021
It wasn't a love song anymore.
1063
01:06:24,814 --> 01:06:26,565
It was a dirge.
1064
01:07:12,028 --> 01:07:14,113
[jukebox: up-tempo band music]
1065
01:07:14,197 --> 01:07:16,615
[Al narrating]
But my problems weren't solved.
1066
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:19,493
I had to stay away from New York
for all time.
1067
01:07:20,328 --> 01:07:23,622
Because Al Roberts was listed as dead
and had to stay dead.
1068
01:07:24,332 --> 01:07:25,999
And I could never go back to Hollywood.
1069
01:07:26,835 --> 01:07:28,794
Someone might recognize me as Haskell.
1070
01:07:30,130 --> 01:07:33,048
- Then, too, there was Sue.
- [music stops]
1071
01:07:34,467 --> 01:07:37,803
I could never go to her with a thing
like this hanging over my head.
1072
01:07:39,180 --> 01:07:42,474
All I could do was pray she'd be happy.
1073
01:07:53,486 --> 01:07:57,656
I was in Bakersfield before I read
that Vera's body was discovered.
1074
01:07:57,741 --> 01:08:01,368
And that the police were looking for Haskell
in connection with his wife's murder.
1075
01:08:02,871 --> 01:08:04,413
Isn't that a laugh?
1076
01:08:05,081 --> 01:08:09,001
Haskell got me into this mess
and Haskell was getting me out of it.
1077
01:08:09,085 --> 01:08:11,170
The police were searching for a dead man.
1078
01:08:14,674 --> 01:08:16,884
I keep trying to forget what happened...
1079
01:08:18,261 --> 01:08:22,973
and wonder what my life might have been
if that car of Haskell's hadn't stopped.
1080
01:08:24,768 --> 01:08:26,935
But one thing I don't have to wonder about.
1081
01:08:28,146 --> 01:08:29,605
I know.
1082
01:08:31,107 --> 01:08:34,234
Someday a car will stop to pick me up
that I never thumbed.
1083
01:08:38,990 --> 01:08:39,865
Yes.
1084
01:08:40,742 --> 01:08:44,411
Fate... or some mysterious force
1085
01:08:44,496 --> 01:08:47,414
can put the finger on you or me
1086
01:08:47,499 --> 01:08:49,500
for no good reason at all.

Al Roberts, an unemployed piano player, hitches a ride, arriving at a roadside diner in Reno, Nevada. Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.
Al recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.
In Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.
Al realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.
Al crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.
In Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.
Back at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.
Al gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of "his wife." Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest.

Well, here we are.
I turn down here at the next block.

00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,874
Thanks, mister. I'll get off there.

[jukebox: up-tempo band music]

00:02:53,382 --> 00:02:56,384
- Want anything else?
- No.
5
00:02:56,468 --> 00:02:57,552
Hey, you.
6
00:03:00,556 --> 00:03:03,266
- Me?
- Yeah, you. Where ya heading?
7
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,686
- East.
- Too bad.
8
00:03:07,563 --> 00:03:10,439
I thought if you was headin' north,
I might be able to help you out.
9
00:03:10,524 --> 00:03:13,276
Pushing to Salt Lake,
and I don't like to ride alone at night.
10
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,028
I'm one of those guys that gotta talk
or I fall asleep.
11
00:03:16,113 --> 00:03:17,738
- Oh.
- So I gotta get my...
12
00:03:17,823 --> 00:03:20,157
My partner,
he's got Lou to keep him company.
13
00:03:20,242 --> 00:03:21,909
But I ain't got nobody at all.
14
00:03:21,994 --> 00:03:24,620
- Where ya comin' from?
- West.
15
00:03:24,705 --> 00:03:27,331
Yeah, sure, I know,
but where? LA?
16
00:03:27,416 --> 00:03:29,792
- Maybe.
- Got a cousin out in LA.
17
00:03:29,877 --> 00:03:31,586
- You don't say?
- Yeah, he's been out...
18
00:03:33,046 --> 00:03:34,505
You're not much of a talker, are ya?
19
00:03:34,590 --> 00:03:36,507
My mother taught me
never to speak to strangers.

00:03:36,592 --> 00:03:38,426
- Oh, a wise guy, huh?
- So what?
21
00:03:38,510 --> 00:03:42,430
Okay, okay. Don't get sore.
Just trying to be sociable, that's all.

- Yeah, what's eating you?
32

- That music. It stinks!
- Oh, you don't like it, huh?

00:04:21,136 --> 00:04:23,220
- No, turn it off!
- Now wait a minute, pal.
34

This is a free country,
and I play whatever I want to.

00:04:29,603 --> 00:04:30,645
Okay.
37
00:04:30,729 --> 00:04:33,022
Sure. And if you don't like,
you don't have to listen to it.

and you don't like it.

Why was there always that rotten tune?

Following me around, beating in my head,
never letting up.
46
00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:07,181
Did you ever wanna forget anything?
47
00:05:07,599 --> 00:05:10,518
Did you ever wanna cut away
a piece of your memory or blot it out?
48
00:05:10,978 --> 00:05:14,397
You can't, you know?
No matter how hard you try.
49
00:05:14,481 --> 00:05:16,440
You can change the scenery,
50
00:05:16,525 --> 00:05:18,609
but sooner or later
you'll get a whiff of perfume,
51
00:05:18,694 --> 00:05:21,195
or somebody will say a certain phrase
or maybe hum something.
52
00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:23,531
Then you're licked again.

Break O' Dawn Club in New York.

at least three requests for it.

# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
64
00:06:19,963 --> 00:06:23,132
# You're telling everyone you know #
65
00:06:23,216 --> 00:06:26,343
# That I'm on your mind each place you go #
66
00:06:26,428 --> 00:06:31,223
# They can't believe
That you're in love with me #
67
00:06:32,392 --> 00:06:38,189
# I have always placed you far above me #
68
00:06:38,273 --> 00:06:43,778
# I just can't imagine that you love me #

00:06:43,862 --> 00:06:47,073
# And after all is said and done #
70
00:06:47,157 --> 00:06:50,284
# To think that I'm the lucky one #
71
00:06:50,368 --> 00:06:55,748
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
72
00:07:02,631 --> 00:07:04,715
[Al narrating] It wasn't much of a club, really.
73
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,300
You know the kind.
74
00:07:06,384 --> 00:07:08,385
A joint where you could have a sandwich
and a few drinks,
75
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:11,055
and run interference for your girl
on the dance floor.
76
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:15,101
- [playing romantic melody]
- I fronted the piano in there every night
77
00:07:15,185 --> 00:07:17,311
from 8:00 until the place closed up,
78
00:07:17,395 --> 00:07:19,563
which usually meant 4:00 in the morning.
79
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:22,066
A good job as jobs went in those days.
80
00:07:25,487 --> 00:07:28,739
Then, too, there was Sue,
81
00:07:28,824 --> 00:07:31,784
who made working there
a little like working in heaven.
82
00:07:32,244 --> 00:07:36,372
But how we felt about each other, well,
there was nothing very unusual in that.
83
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:39,834
I was an ordinary healthy guy,
and she was an ordinary healthy girl,
84
00:07:39,918 --> 00:07:43,170
and when you add those two together,
you get an ordinary healthy romance,
85
00:07:43,255 --> 00:07:44,672
which is the old story.
86
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:49,426
Sure. But somehow
the most wonderful thing in the world.
87
00:07:49,511 --> 00:07:51,846
[continues playing, rapidly]
88
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:59,436
All in all, I was a pretty lucky guy.
89
00:08:12,450 --> 00:08:15,494
Mr. Patterewsky, I presume?
It's beautiful.
90
00:08:15,579 --> 00:08:17,663
You're going to make Carnegie Hall yet, Al.
91
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:20,332
Yeah. As a janitor.
92
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:22,251
I'll make my debut in the basement.
93
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:26,005
I don't blame you for being bitter,
darling, but you mustn't give up hope.
94
00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:27,798
- Why, some day...
- Yeah, some day,
95
00:08:27,883 --> 00:08:29,633
if I don't get arthritis first.
96
00:08:29,718 --> 00:08:31,385
In the meantime, let's blow this trap.
97
00:08:31,469 --> 00:08:32,845
[piano lid thuds]
98
00:08:48,737 --> 00:08:49,737
[door closes]
99
00:08:51,323 --> 00:08:53,782
- Like to get something to eat, hon?
- Oh, I don't think so, Al.
100
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:56,911
I lose my appetite working in this fleabag.
101
00:08:56,995 --> 00:08:58,954
- Let's go home.
- Okay.
102
00:08:59,831 --> 00:09:02,416
I can't stand much more of that dump.
103
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:05,211
Did you see that drunk tonight
trying to paw me?
104
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:08,547
- No, what drunk?
- Does it matter what drunk?
105
00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:11,800
Say, what's the matter with you tonight, darling?
106
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:14,511
That's the third time you started
to tell me something and then stopped.
107
00:09:15,305 --> 00:09:17,806
We shouldn't have any secrets
from each other, Sue.
108
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:20,267
Next week, we're gonna make with a ring
and a license. We'll be a team.
109
00:09:20,352 --> 00:09:23,395
Yes, that's right. In the bush league.
110
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,190
- I don't get ya.
- We've been struck out.
111
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:29,276
That's a funny way to talk, darling.
112
00:09:29,361 --> 00:09:31,737
- Don't you wanna marry me?
- Al, look, I love you.
113
00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:34,198
You know I do.
And I want to marry you.
114
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:36,742
- But...?
- But not now.
115
00:09:36,826 --> 00:09:39,286
Only after we've made good.
116
00:09:39,371 --> 00:09:40,996
Sunday I'm going away.
117
00:09:41,706 --> 00:09:43,666
Oh, I know you'll think it's silly.
118
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:46,001
That's why I hesitated to tell you.
119
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:47,795
But I'm going to California.
120
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:50,297
I wanna try my luck in Hollywood.
121
00:09:50,548 --> 00:09:52,758
[Al] That's the most
stupid thing I ever heard of.
122
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:56,387
Don't you know millions of people go out there
every year and wind up polishing cuspidors?

00:09:56,471 --> 00:09:57,638
I thought you had better sense.
124
00:09:57,722 --> 00:09:59,598
You sound as if you think
I don't have any talent.
125
00:09:59,683 --> 00:10:02,101
- That has nothing to do with it.
- I'll make out all right.
126
00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:03,936
Maybe. But what about me?
127
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:06,563
Doesn't it mean anything to you
that you're busting up all our plans?
128
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:09,817
- We may not see each other for years?
- It won't be that long.
129
00:10:09,901 --> 00:10:12,111
- I thought you loved me.
- I do.
130
00:10:12,195 --> 00:10:13,737
You know I do.
131
00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:18,325
Well, here we are.
132
00:10:20,787 --> 00:10:21,787
Al...
133
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:25,541
Al, why can't you see my side of it?
134
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:28,294
I'm young. We both are. And...
135
00:10:28,378 --> 00:10:31,005
And we've got all the time in the world
to settle down.
136
00:10:31,715 --> 00:10:33,966
[sighs] Really, darling.
137
00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:37,303
What I'm doing is the only sane thing to do.
138
00:10:37,387 --> 00:10:40,889
[sighs] I... I hate the thought
of being so far away from you.
139
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:44,226
But... But we'll be together again some day.
140
00:10:44,311 --> 00:10:47,563
[sighs] Maybe you'll decide
to come out too, later on.
141
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:49,898
- So long.
- Al.
142
00:10:50,734 --> 00:10:53,068
Aren't you gonna kiss me good night?
143
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,237
Sure, why not?
144
00:10:57,741 --> 00:10:58,991
Good night.
145
00:11:05,248 --> 00:11:07,708
[playing romantic melody]
146
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:34,276
[playing jauntily, jazzy]
147
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:47,164
[changing rhythm, slower]
148
00:12:09,604 --> 00:12:12,231
[changing rhythm, jittery]
149
00:12:18,822 --> 00:12:21,824
[no audible dialogue]
150
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:40,717
[piano playing stops]
151
00:12:40,802 --> 00:12:42,469
- [applause]
- Say, Roberts.
152
00:12:42,554 --> 00:12:45,848
You hit the jackpot this time. Ten bucks.
153
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:47,391
Thanks.
154
00:12:53,481 --> 00:12:56,024
[Al narrating] So when this drunk handed me
a ten-spot after a request,
155
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:57,526
I couldn't get very excited.
156
00:12:57,777 --> 00:13:01,363
What was it, I asked myself?
A piece of paper crawling with germs.
157
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:03,866
Couldn't buy anything I wanted.
158
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:05,242
It couldn't...
159
00:13:08,246 --> 00:13:09,705
Then I thought of something.
160
00:13:33,104 --> 00:13:34,313
Long distance.
161
00:13:34,397 --> 00:13:36,857
I'd like to put a call through to Los Angeles.
162
00:13:36,941 --> 00:13:39,193
Miss Harvey. Sue Harvey.
163
00:13:39,277 --> 00:13:41,069
H-A-R-V-E-Y.
164
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:44,615
The number is CRestview 65723.
165
00:14:04,594 --> 00:14:06,386
- 4.50.
- [coin clatters]
166
00:14:06,471 --> 00:14:08,347
- 4.75.
- [coin clatters]
167
00:14:08,431 --> 00:14:09,431
5.00.
168
00:14:12,477 --> 00:14:15,020
Hello, Sue? This is Al.
169
00:14:15,104 --> 00:14:17,356
Oh, baby, it's great to hear from you too.
170
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,651
What's that? You do?
Oh, me too, darling.
171
00:14:20,735 --> 00:14:23,362
I thought I'd go batty without you.
I just had to...
172
00:14:23,446 --> 00:14:24,446
Huh?
173
00:14:25,406 --> 00:14:27,449
You're workin' as a hash slinger?
174
00:14:27,534 --> 00:14:28,867
Gee, honey, that's tough.
175
00:14:28,952 --> 00:14:32,371
Those guys out in Hollywood don't know
the real thing when it's right in front of them.
176
00:14:32,455 --> 00:14:34,164
You just stick it out, Sue, baby.
177
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:37,417
Keep goin' around to those casting offices.
I'm sure you'll click.
178
00:14:38,002 --> 00:14:40,629
Look, I'll tell you what.
You stay put out there. I'll come to you.
179
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:43,632
No, don't try to stop me. Just expect me.
180
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:46,760
Train? Who knows?
Train, plane, bus, magic carpet.
181
00:14:46,844 --> 00:14:50,430
I'll be there if I have to crawl.
If I have to travel by pogo stick.
182
00:14:50,515 --> 00:14:53,809
And then... let's get married right away.
183
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:59,439
That's the stuff. That's what
I've been wanting to hear you say.
184
00:15:00,525 --> 00:15:03,110
Well, good-bye for now.
185
00:15:04,362 --> 00:15:06,905
I'll be seeing you soon. [kisses]
186
00:15:07,282 --> 00:15:10,492
Yeah. [kisses] Bye.
187
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:18,500
[Al narrating] The only way I could
cross country was to thumb rides,
188
00:15:18,585 --> 00:15:21,587
for even after hocking everything,
I only had enough money to eat.
189
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:24,923
Money. You know what that is.
190
00:15:25,717 --> 00:15:27,551
It's the stuff you never have enough of.
191
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:29,720
Little green things
with George Washington's picture
192
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:33,432
that men slave for,
commit crimes for, die for.
193
00:15:34,183 --> 00:15:36,226
It's the stuff that has caused
more trouble in the world
194
00:15:36,311 --> 00:15:38,186
than anything else we ever invented,
195
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:41,273
simply because there's too little of it.
196
00:15:41,357 --> 00:15:43,442
At least I had too little of it.
197
00:15:43,526 --> 00:15:45,319
So it was me for the thumb.
198
00:16:01,753 --> 00:16:03,170
Ever done any hitchhiking?
199
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:05,881
It's not much fun, believe me.
200
00:16:06,549 --> 00:16:08,842
Oh, yeah,
I know all about how it's an education,
201
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:11,595
and how you get to meet a lot of people,
and all that.
202
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:15,849
But me, from now on
I'll take my education in college,
203
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:20,187
or in P.S. 62, or I'll send $1.98
in stamps for ten easy lessons.
204
00:16:29,447 --> 00:16:33,367
Thumbing rides may save you bus fare,
but it's dangerous.
205
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:37,954
You never know what's in store for you
when you hear the squeal of brakes.
206
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,001
If only I had known what I was getting into
that day in Arizona.
207
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:46,546
Here, throw that in the back seat.
208
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:51,301
Okay, let's go.
Make sure that door's closed.
209
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:53,553
- [door closes]
- [lock clacks]
210
00:17:05,483 --> 00:17:09,319
You know, Emily Post ought to write
a book of rules for guys thumbing rides.
211
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:13,031
Because as it is now you never know
what's right and what's wrong.
212
00:17:13,783 --> 00:17:17,285
We rode along for a little while,
neither one of us saying anything.
213
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:19,538
I was glad of that.
214
00:17:19,622 --> 00:17:22,457
I never know what to say
to strange people driving cars.
215
00:17:23,418 --> 00:17:26,545
And too, you can never tell
if a guy wants to talk.
216
00:17:26,629 --> 00:17:29,631
A lot of rides have been cut short
because of a big mouth.
217
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:34,845
So I kept my mouth shut
until he started opening up.
218
00:17:35,596 --> 00:17:38,473
Hand me that little box
in the compartment, will ya, pal?
219
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:42,936
Hold the wheel, will ya?
220
00:17:44,397 --> 00:17:45,397
[pills rattling]
221
00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:53,029
[glove box closes]
222
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:56,450
- How far are ya going?
- LA.
223
00:17:56,534 --> 00:17:58,577
Well, you're really traveling aren't ya?
224
00:17:58,661 --> 00:18:00,704
Yeah, but I don't expect to make it
for a couple years
225
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:02,372
at the rate I've been promoting rides.
226
00:18:02,457 --> 00:18:03,582
Not much luck, huh?
227
00:18:03,666 --> 00:18:05,459
Sure. All bad.
228
00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:07,753
Not many people stop for a guy these days.
229
00:18:07,837 --> 00:18:09,296
Afraid of a stickup maybe.
230
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:10,505
Ah, you can't blame 'em.
231
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:13,675
- Where ya comin' from?
- New York.
232
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,137
Well, New York. You're in luck this time.
233
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:19,139
I'm goin' all the way.
234
00:18:19,223 --> 00:18:20,807
Right through to Los Angeles.
235
00:18:22,018 --> 00:18:24,102
- You drive a car?
- Sure.
236
00:18:24,187 --> 00:18:26,897
- Whenever you're tired, let me know.
- I'll holler.
237
00:18:28,691 --> 00:18:30,776
I guess at least an hour passed
before I noticed
238
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:32,778
those deep scratches in his right hand.
239
00:18:33,237 --> 00:18:34,696
They were wicked.
240
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:37,532
Three puffy red lines
about a quarter of an inch apart.
241
00:18:38,576 --> 00:18:40,869
He must have seen me looking at them
because he said...
242
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:43,288
Beauties, aren't they?
243
00:18:44,081 --> 00:18:45,957
They're gonna be scars someday.
244
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:49,002
What an animal.
245
00:18:49,086 --> 00:18:51,880
Whatever it was, it must have been
pretty big and vicious to have done that.
246
00:18:52,381 --> 00:18:54,424
Right on both counts, New York.
247
00:18:54,509 --> 00:18:57,636
I was tussling with the most
dangerous animal in the world...
248
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,804
a woman.
249
00:18:59,388 --> 00:19:01,014
She must have been Tarzan's mate.
250
00:19:01,098 --> 00:19:02,766
Looks like you lost the bout.
251
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:04,559
Certainly wasn't a draw.
252
00:19:05,394 --> 00:19:08,313
You know, there ought to be a law
against dames with claws.
253
00:19:08,397 --> 00:19:09,314
Yeah.
254
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:11,483
I tossed her out of the car on her ear.
255
00:19:12,318 --> 00:19:16,655
Was I wrong? Give a lift to a tomato,
you expect her to be nice, don't ya?
256
00:19:16,739 --> 00:19:17,656
Yeah.
257
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:20,242
After all, what kind of dames thumb rides?
258
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:22,577
- Sunday school teachers?
- Yeah.
259
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:25,747
The little witch.
260
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:28,458
She must've thought she was riding
with some fall guy.
261
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:32,337
And me who's been booking horses
around racetracks since I was 20.
262
00:19:33,047 --> 00:19:34,923
[scoffs] I've known a million dames like her.
263
00:19:35,383 --> 00:19:37,217
- Two million.
- Yeah.
264
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:42,138
Stopped the car, opened the door...
265
00:19:42,223 --> 00:19:44,641
"Take it on the Arthur Duffy, sister,"
I told her.
266
00:19:44,725 --> 00:19:48,103
- That's the stuff.
- As I was down on her. [laughs]
267
00:19:48,479 --> 00:19:52,148
But if you wanna see a real scar, brother,
get a load of this.
268
00:19:53,442 --> 00:19:55,026
Wow.
269
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:57,904
- I got that one dueling.
- Dueling?
270
00:19:58,406 --> 00:19:59,865
Yeah. We were just kidding, of course.
271
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:02,450
My dad owned a couple of
Franco-Prussian sabers.
272
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:04,244
Kept 'em on the wall for decorations.
273
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:09,749
One day, another kid and I took 'em down
when the old man wasn't around. Had a duel.
274
00:20:09,834 --> 00:20:11,376
[chuckles]
275
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:13,587
He hit me in the arm, here.
276
00:20:13,671 --> 00:20:15,338
Pretty mean cut.
277
00:20:15,423 --> 00:20:16,965
Infection set in later.
278
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:18,842
Yeah, I can see that.
279
00:20:19,093 --> 00:20:21,428
- Oh, gimme that box again, will ya?
- Yeah.
280
00:20:24,765 --> 00:20:26,099
[pills rattling]
281
00:20:31,355 --> 00:20:32,397
[glove box closes]
282
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:35,525
Pain made me lose my head, I guess.
283
00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:37,694
I began slashing.
284
00:20:37,778 --> 00:20:40,488
Before I knew it,
I put the other kid's eye out.
285
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:43,950
- That was tough.
- Well, it was just an accident, of course.
286
00:20:44,035 --> 00:20:48,413
But you know how kids are. I got scared...
decided I was gonna run away from home.
287
00:20:48,915 --> 00:20:51,958
Old man almost clocked me
when I was packin' my duds.
288
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:56,296
If the bloody rag I had wrapped around my wrist
hadn't caught his attention,
289
00:20:56,380 --> 00:20:58,048
he'd have seen the bundle for sure.
290
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:01,551
But I beat it when he was phoning for a doctor.
291
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:06,598
That was 15, 16 years ago.
I haven't been home since.
292
00:21:10,561 --> 00:21:12,729
Pull in there for a bite of something, huh?
293
00:21:12,813 --> 00:21:14,481
[Al narrating] A bite of something.
294
00:21:14,565 --> 00:21:16,066
Brother, was I hungry.
295
00:21:16,150 --> 00:21:18,401
I hadn't had anything in my stomach for hours.
296
00:21:19,362 --> 00:21:21,404
Yet even with that gnawing
in the pit of my belly,
297
00:21:21,489 --> 00:21:24,324
I didn't want to be in too big a rush
to put on the feed bag.
298
00:21:25,076 --> 00:21:27,827
First, I had to make sure
this guy knew the score.
299
00:21:27,912 --> 00:21:31,247
If I got him down on me,
it was good-bye ticket to Hollywood.
300
00:21:32,083 --> 00:21:33,708
I'll wait out here for you, mister.
301
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:36,753
If it's the money, don't worry about
paying for it. This time it's on me.
302
00:21:36,837 --> 00:21:39,255
- Well, that's white of you, Mr...
- Haskell. Think nothing of it.
303
00:21:39,340 --> 00:21:42,717
You make your first million, maybe you can
do the same for me. Come on, New York.
304
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:44,594
I gotta make the West Coast by Wednesday.
305
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:47,263
There's a horse running at
Santa Anita named Paradisiacal.
306
00:21:47,348 --> 00:21:49,933
- Means dough to me if I'm running.
- We'll make it all right.
307
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:54,688
[Al narrating] He did most of the talking
during the half hour we were in the place.
308
00:21:54,772 --> 00:21:55,772
I ate.
309
00:21:56,857 --> 00:22:01,027
He rambled on about his old man, who he hadn't
heard from since he ran away as a kid,
310
00:22:01,112 --> 00:22:02,946
and how he happened to become a bookie,
311
00:22:03,030 --> 00:22:05,740
and then all about how he got rooked in Miami.
312
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:08,660
One race, 38 grand.
They cleaned out my book.
313
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:11,079
- How do you like that?
- That was tough luck.
314
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:13,164
Yeah, and I'm supposed to be the smart guy.
315
00:22:13,249 --> 00:22:16,543
You just wait. I'm going back to Florida
next season with all kinds of jack.
316
00:22:16,627 --> 00:22:18,586
And you watch those stinkers run for cover.
317
00:22:19,547 --> 00:22:21,965
- Want anything else?
- No, thanks, I've had plenty.
318
00:22:27,638 --> 00:22:29,556
- The check there, sister?
- Mm-hmm.
319
00:22:32,601 --> 00:22:34,519
Oh, just a minute. Your change, sir.
320
00:22:34,603 --> 00:22:37,272
- Keep it, sister.
- Oh, thank you, sir. Call again.
321
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,190
I'll be waitin' outside for you
when you finish work.
322
00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:40,400
[chuckles]
323
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:41,776
Sharp chick, huh?
324
00:22:49,952 --> 00:22:52,912
[Al narrating] I drove all that night
while Haskell slept like a log.
325
00:22:53,581 --> 00:22:56,416
After a while, I began to get sleepy myself.
326
00:22:57,835 --> 00:23:01,671
I was happy though.
Soon I'd be with Sue again.
327
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:03,214
The long trip was practically over,
328
00:23:03,299 --> 00:23:06,009
and there'd be no more hoofing it
down the concrete.
329
00:23:06,761 --> 00:23:08,928
I began to think of the future,
330
00:23:09,013 --> 00:23:12,098
which couldn't have been brighter
if I'd embroidered it with neon lights.
331
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,226
It was nice to think of Sue shooting to the top.
332
00:23:16,437 --> 00:23:20,356
[chuckles] It's amazing what a full belly
can do to your imagination.
333
00:23:20,566 --> 00:23:23,276
[romantic ballad]
334
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:28,156
# Your eyes are blue
Your kisses too #
335
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,577
# I never knew what they could do #
336
00:23:32,661 --> 00:23:39,667
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
337
00:23:41,045 --> 00:23:45,632
# You're telling everyone you know #
338
00:23:45,716 --> 00:23:50,095
# I'm on your mind each place you go #
339
00:23:50,179 --> 00:23:56,017
# I can't believe that you're in love #
340
00:23:56,352 --> 00:24:02,690
# With me #
341
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:12,951
Mr. Haskell.
342
00:24:14,703 --> 00:24:15,703
Mr. Haskell?
343
00:24:18,833 --> 00:24:20,875
Mr. Haskell, wake up! It's raining.
344
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,002
Don't you think we ought to stop
and put up the top?
345
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:33,263
Mr. Haskell, I'm gonna put up the top.
346
00:24:48,154 --> 00:24:50,029
[Al narrating] Until then,
I'd done things my way.
347
00:24:50,531 --> 00:24:52,699
But from then on, something else
stepped in and shunted me off
348
00:24:52,783 --> 00:24:55,535
to a different destination
than the one I had picked for myself.
349
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:58,329
For when I pulled open that door...
350
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:05,170
Mr. Haskell, what's the matter?
Are you hurt?
351
00:25:06,255 --> 00:25:07,547
Are you hurt, Mr. Haskell?
352
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:11,467
[Al narrating]
Start your sermon. I'll listen to it.
353
00:25:12,219 --> 00:25:15,013
But I know what you're gonna hand me
even before you open your mouths.
354
00:25:15,598 --> 00:25:18,016
You're gonna tell me you don't believe
my story of how Haskell died
355
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:21,352
and give me that "don't make me laugh"
expression on your smug faces.
356
00:25:24,815 --> 00:25:26,357
I saw at once he was dead.
357
00:25:26,692 --> 00:25:28,193
And I was in for it.
358
00:25:28,277 --> 00:25:30,111
Who would believe he fell out of the car?
359
00:25:30,196 --> 00:25:31,738
If Haskell came to, which,
of course, he couldn't,
360
00:25:31,822 --> 00:25:34,240
even he would swear
I conked him over the head for his dough.
361
00:25:34,325 --> 00:25:35,491
Yes, I was in for it.
362
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:39,829
Instinct told me to run,
but then I realized it was hopeless.
363
00:25:39,914 --> 00:25:41,998
There were lots of people back down the road
who could identify me.
364
00:25:42,082 --> 00:25:44,000
That gas station guy and the waitress.
365
00:25:44,084 --> 00:25:46,419
I would be in a worse spot then
trying to explain why I beat it.
366
00:25:47,504 --> 00:25:50,381
The next possibility was to sit tight
and tell the truth when the cops came.
367
00:25:50,466 --> 00:25:53,176
But that would be crazy.
They'd laugh at the truth.
368
00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:54,552
And I'd have my head in a noose.
369
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:59,807
So what else was there to do
but hide the body and get away in the car?
370
00:25:59,892 --> 00:26:02,101
I couldn't leave the car there
with him in the gully.
371
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:03,937
That would be like erecting a tombstone.
372
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:35,385
My idea was to cover him with brush,
not to rob him.
373
00:26:35,636 --> 00:26:38,304
But then I remembered that even if
I only drove the car for 100 miles or so,
374
00:26:38,389 --> 00:26:39,722
I would need money for gas.
375
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:44,060
Besides, it was stupid of me
to leave all that money on a dead man.
376
00:26:45,145 --> 00:26:47,188
Not only that,
I'd have to take his driver's license
377
00:26:47,273 --> 00:26:48,690
in case I was stopped for something.
378
00:26:50,901 --> 00:26:52,235
I didn't like to think about it,
379
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,821
but by that time I'd done
just what the police would say I did.
380
00:26:54,905 --> 00:26:57,740
Even if I didn't... My clothes.
381
00:26:58,367 --> 00:27:00,618
The owner of such an expensive car
would never be wearing them.
382
00:27:01,662 --> 00:27:03,246
Some cop might pull me in on suspicion.
383
00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,802
[motorcycle approaches]
384
00:27:28,939 --> 00:27:30,231
Hey, you. This your car?
385
00:27:30,941 --> 00:27:33,943
Don't you know better than to leave a car
with the wheels halfway in the middle of the road?
386
00:27:34,028 --> 00:27:35,403
That's the way accidents happen.
387
00:27:35,612 --> 00:27:38,614
I... I'm sorry, Officer.
I was just putting up my top.
388
00:27:38,699 --> 00:27:41,367
- I didn't think.
- Well, the next time, think.
389
00:27:41,452 --> 00:27:43,911
I'll let you go now,
but watch your step in the future.
390
00:27:43,996 --> 00:27:46,414
I know that it's a lonely stretch,
but cars come by here once in a while.
391
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:49,334
- We have plenty of crack-ups.
- Thanks, Officer.
392
00:28:13,067 --> 00:28:15,777
[Al narrating] I left nothing in the car
that'd give me away as Roberts.
393
00:28:15,861 --> 00:28:18,529
If they found a dead man in the gully now,
it could be me.
394
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:28,122
As I drove off, it was still raining.
395
00:28:29,083 --> 00:28:31,876
The drops streaked
down the windshield like tears.
396
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:36,381
I kept imagining I was being followed,
397
00:28:36,465 --> 00:28:38,341
that I could hear sirens
back in the distance.
398
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,471
Just how long it took to cover the 60-odd
miles to the California state line,
399
00:28:43,555 --> 00:28:44,555
I don't know.
400
00:28:45,057 --> 00:28:46,641
I lost all track of time.
401
00:28:47,351 --> 00:28:51,270
But the rain had stopped and the sun was up
when I pulled up to the inspection station.
402
00:28:55,859 --> 00:28:56,692
Hello.
403
00:28:57,653 --> 00:28:59,946
- Carrying any fruits or vegetables?
- No.
404
00:29:00,030 --> 00:29:02,198
- Any livestock or poultry?
- No.
405
00:29:02,282 --> 00:29:03,741
[footsteps approaching]
406
00:29:03,826 --> 00:29:06,202
I'd like to see your registration
and driver's license, please.
407
00:29:10,749 --> 00:29:13,251
- Anything in the baggage compartment?
- Just baggage.
408
00:29:15,212 --> 00:29:18,548
Charles Haskell Jr.
Age 30, brown eyes, dark hair.
409
00:29:18,841 --> 00:29:20,216
Identifying marks, none.
410
00:29:20,884 --> 00:29:23,094
- Are you Charles Haskell Jr.?
- Yes.
411
00:29:23,178 --> 00:29:25,263
Well, remember, if you're employed,
and you stay over 30 days,
412
00:29:25,347 --> 00:29:27,223
you take out California plates.
413
00:29:27,307 --> 00:29:29,517
All right, Officer, but I'll only be
in the state a short while.
414
00:29:31,186 --> 00:29:32,270
Right. You can go now.
415
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:42,113
[Al narrating] I couldn't drive any farther
without some sleep.
416
00:29:42,197 --> 00:29:45,783
Cops or no cops, I knew
I had to hit the hay and hit it hard.
417
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,203
I was dead tired.
418
00:30:20,027 --> 00:30:20,943
No.
419
00:30:21,820 --> 00:30:23,362
No, you can't, Mr. Haskell.
420
00:30:24,323 --> 00:30:25,156
No.
421
00:30:32,706 --> 00:30:35,374
Mr. Haskell, you can't die.
422
00:30:36,502 --> 00:30:39,128
They'll think... They'll think I did it.
423
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:42,173
No, Mr. Haskell.
424
00:30:42,591 --> 00:30:44,717
No, no...
425
00:30:48,722 --> 00:30:49,805
[knocks]
426
00:30:54,019 --> 00:30:55,603
[knocking continues]
427
00:30:59,358 --> 00:31:00,233
Who's there?
428
00:31:00,317 --> 00:31:02,610
It's the maid. Can I come in and clean?
429
00:31:03,820 --> 00:31:06,322
Later... in a half-hour.
430
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:07,490
All right, sir.
431
00:31:32,057 --> 00:31:33,599
[Al narrating] There was no time to lose.
432
00:31:33,684 --> 00:31:36,227
Every minute I had to be Charles Haskell
was dangerous.
433
00:31:36,311 --> 00:31:38,521
I'd have to be Charles Haskell
until I got to some city
434
00:31:38,605 --> 00:31:40,648
where I could leave the car
and be swallowed up.
435
00:31:46,238 --> 00:31:48,864
That meant driving the car
as far as San Bernardino,
436
00:31:48,949 --> 00:31:50,491
maybe even to Los Angeles.
437
00:31:50,576 --> 00:31:52,451
In a little town, I might be noticed.
438
00:31:52,536 --> 00:31:54,328
But in a city, I should be safe enough.
439
00:31:55,581 --> 00:31:58,666
Then, after I ditched the car,
I could go on to Sue.
440
00:31:59,585 --> 00:32:02,545
But those five minutes at the state line
made me realize
441
00:32:02,629 --> 00:32:05,631
it might be a good idea to find out
a little bit about Mr. Haskell.
442
00:32:06,633 --> 00:32:09,302
Then if anybody asked me questions,
I could give the right answers.
443
00:32:10,345 --> 00:32:13,806
The first thing I found out
was that I had $768.
444
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:17,768
This was a lot of jack, but believe me,
445
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:19,895
it was the kind of money
I'd rather not have.
446
00:32:27,446 --> 00:32:31,115
And then I found out from a letter
Haskell was carting around in his bag
447
00:32:31,199 --> 00:32:33,784
that he wasn't the openhanded,
easygoing big shot
448
00:32:33,869 --> 00:32:36,412
who went around buying dinners
for strange hitchhikers.
449
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:39,832
Before I got done reading it,
I saw him more as a chiseler.
450
00:32:41,209 --> 00:32:43,836
It was written
to his old man in California,
451
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,796
the one he hadn't seen in so many years.
452
00:32:46,590 --> 00:32:51,385
In it, Haskell posed as a salesman...
of hymnals, of all things.
453
00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:54,388
It was easy to see where Haskell expected
454
00:32:54,473 --> 00:32:56,849
to raise a new stake
for his book in Miami...
455
00:32:57,684 --> 00:32:59,143
by rooking his old man.
456
00:33:00,771 --> 00:33:03,689
That was about all I found out
from his effects.
457
00:33:03,774 --> 00:33:04,857
And it was enough.
458
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:09,737
I told myself maybe old man Haskell
was lucky his son kicked off.
459
00:33:10,864 --> 00:33:12,531
He would never know it,
460
00:33:12,616 --> 00:33:16,077
but it saved him from taking a flier
in sacred literature preferred.
461
00:33:22,793 --> 00:33:24,377
[birds chirping]
462
00:33:41,186 --> 00:33:43,979
Near the airport at Desert Center,
I pulled up for water.
463
00:33:45,607 --> 00:33:46,691
There was a woman.
464
00:33:51,321 --> 00:33:53,614
Hey, you. Come on if you want a ride.
465
00:34:07,587 --> 00:34:08,587
[car hood slams]
466
00:34:39,995 --> 00:34:41,662
How far you goin'?
467
00:34:41,747 --> 00:34:43,122
How far are you going?
468
00:34:43,749 --> 00:34:46,792
[Al narrating] That took me by surprise.
I turned my head to look her over.
469
00:34:47,836 --> 00:34:50,588
She was facing straight ahead,
so I couldn't see her eyes.
470
00:34:51,006 --> 00:34:53,758
But she was young, not more than 24.
471
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:56,844
Man, she looked as if
she'd just been thrown off
472
00:34:56,928 --> 00:34:59,305
the crummiest freight train in the world.
473
00:35:00,140 --> 00:35:02,641
Yet, in spite of this,
I got the impression of beauty.
474
00:35:03,727 --> 00:35:06,020
Not the beauty of a movie actress,
mind you,
475
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,689
or the beauty you dream about
when you're with your wife,
476
00:35:08,774 --> 00:35:10,065
but a natural beauty,
477
00:35:10,567 --> 00:35:13,194
a beauty that's almost homely
because it's so real.
478
00:35:15,363 --> 00:35:17,114
Then, suddenly, she turned to face me.
479
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:20,409
- How far did you say you were going?
- Los Angeles.
480
00:35:20,494 --> 00:35:21,410
LA?
481
00:35:22,287 --> 00:35:25,790
- LA's good enough for me, mister.
- That's what I was afraid of.
482
00:35:25,874 --> 00:35:29,084
- What'd you say?
- Oh, nothing. Just thinking out loud.
483
00:35:29,169 --> 00:35:31,128
People get in trouble for doing that.
484
00:35:32,005 --> 00:35:34,715
- What's your name?
- You can call me Vera, if you like.
485
00:35:35,509 --> 00:35:37,176
- You live in Los Angeles?
- No.
486
00:35:39,054 --> 00:35:41,555
- Where you coming from?
- Oh, back there.
487
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,098
- Needles?
- No.
488
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:47,102
Oh, sure. Phoenix.
You look just like a Phoenix girl.
489
00:35:47,687 --> 00:35:49,855
- Are the girls in Phoenix that bad?
- [chuckles]
490
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:51,774
[Al narrating]
The girl must have been pretty tired
491
00:35:51,858 --> 00:35:54,944
because she fell asleep not 20 minutes
after she stepped into the car.
492
00:35:55,737 --> 00:35:59,782
She lay sprawled out with her head resting
against the far door, like Haskell.
493
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:03,452
I didn't like that part of it much,
but I didn't wake her up.
494
00:36:04,955 --> 00:36:06,872
It wasn't that this girl still worried me.
495
00:36:07,374 --> 00:36:10,376
I'd gotten over that funny feeling
I had when she looked at me,
496
00:36:10,460 --> 00:36:13,003
which I put down
as just my jangled nerves.
497
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:16,590
With her eyes closed
and the tenseness gone out of her,
498
00:36:16,675 --> 00:36:18,133
she seemed harmless enough.
499
00:36:18,885 --> 00:36:21,929
Instead of disliking her,
I began to feel sorry for her.
500
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:25,182
The poor kid probably
had had a rough time of it.
501
00:36:26,476 --> 00:36:27,977
Who was she, anyway?
502
00:36:28,061 --> 00:36:30,479
And why was she going to Los Angeles?
503
00:36:30,564 --> 00:36:32,898
And where'd she come from
in the first place?
504
00:36:32,983 --> 00:36:34,775
The only thing I knew about her
was her name.
505
00:36:35,777 --> 00:36:37,361
Not that it made any difference.
506
00:36:37,445 --> 00:36:39,738
A few hours more and we'd be in Hollywood.
507
00:36:39,823 --> 00:36:42,241
I'd forget where I parked the car
and look up Sue.
508
00:36:43,118 --> 00:36:45,286
This nightmare of being a dead man
would be over.
509
00:36:46,121 --> 00:36:48,831
Who this dame was, well,
it was no business of mine.
510
00:36:48,915 --> 00:36:52,918
Where did you leave his body?
Where did you leave the owner of this car?
511
00:36:53,003 --> 00:36:54,712
You're not fooling anyone.
512
00:36:55,297 --> 00:36:58,173
This buggy belongs to a guy named Haskell.
That's not you, mister.
513
00:36:58,258 --> 00:37:01,343
You're out of your mind. That's my name.
Charles Haskell. I can prove it.
514
00:37:01,428 --> 00:37:03,512
- Here's my driver's license.
- Save yourself the trouble, mister.
515
00:37:03,597 --> 00:37:05,848
Having Haskell's wallet
only makes it worse.
516
00:37:05,932 --> 00:37:08,017
It just so happens
I rode with Charlie Haskell
517
00:37:08,101 --> 00:37:09,685
all the way from Louisiana.
518
00:37:09,769 --> 00:37:11,854
He picked me up outside of Shreveport.
519
00:37:11,938 --> 00:37:13,564
- You rode...
- You heard me.
520
00:37:14,149 --> 00:37:15,983
[Al narrating] Then it all came back to me.
521
00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:18,652
All the talk about dueling
and scars and scratches.
522
00:37:19,613 --> 00:37:21,363
There was no doubt about it.
523
00:37:21,448 --> 00:37:23,949
Vera must be the woman
Haskell had mentioned.
524
00:37:24,034 --> 00:37:25,784
She must have passed me while I slept.
525
00:37:25,869 --> 00:37:28,871
Well? Well, I'm waiting.
526
00:37:28,955 --> 00:37:30,331
My goose was cooked.
527
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:32,082
She had me.
528
00:37:32,876 --> 00:37:34,668
That Haskell guy wasn't dead yet.
529
00:37:35,253 --> 00:37:38,172
He wasn't stretched out stiff and cold
in any Arizona gully.
530
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:41,425
He was sitting right there in the car,
laughing like mad while he haunted me.
531
00:37:43,345 --> 00:37:44,303
Well?
532
00:37:44,387 --> 00:37:47,514
There was nothing I could say.
It was her move.
533
00:37:48,224 --> 00:37:50,142
Vera, whatever her name was.
534
00:37:50,226 --> 00:37:52,478
It was just my luck
picking her up on the road.
535
00:37:53,313 --> 00:37:56,148
It couldn't have been Helen
or Mary or Evelyn or Ruth.
536
00:37:57,025 --> 00:37:59,526
It had to be the very last person
I should ever have met.
537
00:38:00,820 --> 00:38:01,820
That's life.
538
00:38:02,697 --> 00:38:05,491
Whichever way you turn,
fate sticks out a foot to trip you.
539
00:38:11,081 --> 00:38:13,457
I told her everything,
but she didn't believe my story.
540
00:38:13,541 --> 00:38:15,167
I should've saved my breath.
541
00:38:15,251 --> 00:38:17,670
That's the greatest cock-and-bull story
I ever heard.
542
00:38:17,754 --> 00:38:19,380
So he fell out of his car.
543
00:38:19,464 --> 00:38:21,507
Say, who do you think
you're talking to, a hick?
544
00:38:21,591 --> 00:38:23,592
Listen, mister. I've been around.
545
00:38:23,677 --> 00:38:27,054
And I know a wrong guy when I see one.
What'd you do, kiss him with a wrench?
546
00:38:27,138 --> 00:38:29,264
Now wait a minute.
What I told you was true.
547
00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:30,891
You see, that's why I had to do it.
548
00:38:30,976 --> 00:38:33,352
You think I killed him.
Well, the cops would've thought so too.
549
00:38:33,436 --> 00:38:35,187
Yeah, well maybe they still think so.
550
00:38:36,106 --> 00:38:38,482
What makes you so sure
I'll shut up about this?
551
00:38:38,566 --> 00:38:41,318
Vera, I'm innocent.
Give me a break, will you?
552
00:38:42,696 --> 00:38:44,488
It won't do me any good
having you pinched.
553
00:38:44,572 --> 00:38:46,115
The cops are no friends of mine.
554
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:49,076
Now, if there was a reward...
But there isn't.
555
00:38:49,703 --> 00:38:51,912
- Thanks.
- Don't thank me yet.
556
00:38:51,997 --> 00:38:55,332
I'm not through with you by a long shot.
Let's see that roll.
557
00:39:02,090 --> 00:39:03,674
Is that all Haskell had?
558
00:39:03,758 --> 00:39:05,509
- Isn't it enough?
- No, I thought he had more.
559
00:39:05,593 --> 00:39:07,845
Not that I know of. You can search me
if you think I'm holding out on you.
560
00:39:07,929 --> 00:39:09,596
Well, maybe I will at that.
561
00:39:09,681 --> 00:39:11,807
He told me he was gonna bet $3,000
562
00:39:11,891 --> 00:39:14,560
on a horse named Paradisiacal
on Wednesday at Santa Anita.
563
00:39:14,644 --> 00:39:16,979
- He was stringing you along. He meant 300.
- Maybe.
564
00:39:17,063 --> 00:39:20,357
Sure. Three bucks, 300.
He was a piece of cheese, a big blowhard.
565
00:39:20,442 --> 00:39:23,277
Listen, mister. Don't try and tell me
anything about Charlie Haskell.
566
00:39:23,361 --> 00:39:25,279
Remember, I knew him better than you did.
567
00:39:25,363 --> 00:39:28,073
Okay, then you knew he was a four-flusher.
That explains the three-grand bet.
568
00:39:28,158 --> 00:39:30,576
I'm not so sure
he didn't have that three grand.
569
00:39:30,660 --> 00:39:34,121
Why should I believe you?
You got all the earmarks of a cheap crook.
570
00:39:34,205 --> 00:39:35,622
- Now, wait a minute.
- Shut up.
571
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:37,207
You're a cheap crook and you killed him.
572
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:39,418
For two cents,
I'd change my mind and turn you in.
573
00:39:39,502 --> 00:39:40,794
I don't like you!
574
00:39:40,879 --> 00:39:43,338
- All right, all right. Don't get sore.
- I'm not getting sore.
575
00:39:43,423 --> 00:39:45,507
But just remember who's boss around here.
576
00:39:45,592 --> 00:39:47,134
If you shut up
and don't give me any arguments,
577
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:48,677
you'll have nothing to worry about.
578
00:39:48,762 --> 00:39:50,512
But if you act wise, well, mister,
579
00:39:50,597 --> 00:39:53,182
you'll pop into jail so fast
it'll give you the bends.
580
00:39:53,266 --> 00:39:55,059
- I'm not arguing.
- Well, see that you don't.
581
00:39:55,143 --> 00:39:56,477
You know, as crooked as you look,
582
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:59,605
I'd hate to see a fella as young as you
wind up sniffing that perfume
583
00:39:59,689 --> 00:40:01,482
that Arizona hands out free to murderers.
584
00:40:01,566 --> 00:40:03,233
- I'm not a murderer.
- Of course you're not.
585
00:40:03,318 --> 00:40:04,693
Haskell knocked his own head off.
586
00:40:04,778 --> 00:40:06,278
He fell. That's how it happened,
just like I told you.
587
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:08,530
Sure, and then he made you a present
of his belongings.
588
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:10,324
- I explained why...
- Oh, skip it.
589
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:13,118
Doesn't make a difference one way
or another. I'm not a mourner.
590
00:40:13,203 --> 00:40:15,412
I liked Haskell even less than I like you.
591
00:40:15,955 --> 00:40:17,372
Yeah, I saw what you did to him.
592
00:40:17,457 --> 00:40:19,541
- What do you mean?
- Those scratches on his wrists.
593
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:20,959
Sure, I scratched him.
594
00:40:21,961 --> 00:40:23,128
I'll say you did.
595
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:26,673
So your idea was
to drive the car a little way,
596
00:40:26,758 --> 00:40:28,967
maybe into San Bernardino,
and then leave it.
597
00:40:29,052 --> 00:40:30,385
You weren't gonna sell it?
598
00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:33,597
Sell it? You think I'm crazy?
Somebody else's car?
599
00:40:33,681 --> 00:40:36,266
All I wanna do is leave it somewhere
and forget I ever saw it.
600
00:40:36,351 --> 00:40:39,269
Not only don't you have any scruples,
you don't have any brains.
601
00:40:39,354 --> 00:40:42,022
- I don't get you.
- Maybe it's a good thing you met me.
602
00:40:42,107 --> 00:40:44,983
You would of got yourself caught, sure.
Why, you dope.
603
00:40:45,068 --> 00:40:48,362
Don't you know a deserted automobile
always rates an investigation?
604
00:40:48,696 --> 00:40:49,863
Huh?
605
00:40:49,948 --> 00:40:52,783
Look. The cops find a car.
Then they get curious.
606
00:40:52,867 --> 00:40:54,493
They wonder where the owner is.
607
00:40:54,577 --> 00:40:57,996
So, all right, they don't trace Haskell.
They trace you.
608
00:40:58,206 --> 00:40:59,790
I never thought of that.
609
00:40:59,874 --> 00:41:02,626
The only safe way to get rid of the car
is to sell it to a dealer,
610
00:41:02,710 --> 00:41:04,253
get it registered under a new name.
611
00:41:04,754 --> 00:41:06,004
Say, stop at the next store.
612
00:41:06,089 --> 00:41:08,882
I wanna get a bottle and do some shopping
before we hit LA.
613
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:12,219
Okay. Soon as we find a place,
I'll drop you off and pick you up later.
614
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:14,429
Nothin' doin'. You're coming in too.
615
00:41:14,514 --> 00:41:17,349
From now on,
you and I are like the Siamese twins.
616
00:41:17,433 --> 00:41:19,434
Have it your way,
but I don't get the point.
617
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:21,687
The point is I don't want you to get lost.
618
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:23,397
I'm not gonna beat it,
if that's what you're afraid of.
619
00:41:23,481 --> 00:41:24,648
I'll say you're not.
620
00:41:24,732 --> 00:41:27,568
Well, I'm gonna see that you sell this car
so you don't get caught.
621
00:41:27,652 --> 00:41:31,446
Thanks. Of course, your interest
wouldn't be financial, would it?
622
00:41:31,531 --> 00:41:33,699
You wouldn't want
a small percentage of the profits?
623
00:41:34,284 --> 00:41:37,202
Well, now that you insist,
how can I refuse?
624
00:41:37,287 --> 00:41:38,912
A hundred percent'll do.
625
00:41:38,997 --> 00:41:40,873
Fine. I'm relieved.
626
00:41:40,957 --> 00:41:43,208
I thought for a moment
you were gonna take it all.
627
00:41:43,293 --> 00:41:44,710
I don't want to be a hog.
628
00:41:46,588 --> 00:41:48,672
[Al narrating] A few hours later,
we were in Hollywood.
629
00:41:49,090 --> 00:41:51,466
I was recognizing places
Sue had written about.
630
00:41:52,051 --> 00:41:55,012
It struck me that,
far from being at the end of the trip,
631
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:58,098
there was a greater distance between Sue
and me than when I started out.
632
00:41:59,434 --> 00:42:02,060
Vera wasn't kidding
with that Siamese twins crack.
633
00:42:02,687 --> 00:42:06,106
She rented a little apartment
as Mrs. Charles Haskell.
634
00:42:07,025 --> 00:42:10,110
When I objected to this, she explained
that it was on account of the car.
635
00:42:10,612 --> 00:42:12,154
A dealer might think something was funny
636
00:42:12,238 --> 00:42:14,531
if he called and found
we were using different names.
637
00:42:19,704 --> 00:42:21,538
- Home, sweet home.
- Yeah.
638
00:42:22,457 --> 00:42:23,498
Not bad, either.
639
00:42:31,466 --> 00:42:33,842
In case there's any doubt in your mind,
I'll take the bedroom.
640
00:42:34,302 --> 00:42:35,177
Yeah.
641
00:42:36,471 --> 00:42:37,846
Sure is stuffy in here.
642
00:42:45,980 --> 00:42:47,689
- Keep the window shut.
- Okay.
643
00:42:50,026 --> 00:42:53,487
The old crow downstairs said
there's a folding bed behind this door.
644
00:42:59,535 --> 00:43:00,702
You know how to work it?
645
00:43:04,457 --> 00:43:05,540
I invented it.
646
00:43:09,504 --> 00:43:11,630
- Some joint.
- One can't have everything.
647
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,387
I'm first in the bathtub.
648
00:43:19,180 --> 00:43:22,140
I don't know why,
but I figured you would be.
649
00:43:31,985 --> 00:43:35,570
Boy, oh, boy. [sighs]
It sure feels good to be clean again.
650
00:43:36,948 --> 00:43:38,407
I must be ten pounds lighter.
651
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:40,450
You must be.
652
00:43:40,535 --> 00:43:42,077
[saxophone playing]
653
00:43:42,161 --> 00:43:45,372
Well, hitchin' rides isn't exactly the way
you keep your schoolgirl complexion.
654
00:43:49,585 --> 00:43:51,712
I wish that guy with the sax
would give up.
655
00:43:53,089 --> 00:43:54,423
It gets on my nerves.
656
00:43:56,509 --> 00:43:57,509
Forget it.
657
00:44:00,138 --> 00:44:01,179
Have a drink.
658
00:44:02,390 --> 00:44:04,141
Aren't you afraid
I'm gonna take you up on it?
659
00:44:06,269 --> 00:44:08,562
If I didn't wanna give you a drink,
I wouldn't have offered it.
660
00:44:09,731 --> 00:44:12,983
Why be a sorehead, Roberts?
You got yourself into this thing.
661
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:15,902
You should be grateful
I'm not turning you in.
662
00:44:16,904 --> 00:44:19,114
Why, if I wasn't regular,
you'd be in the pen this minute
663
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:22,284
being photographed, fingerprinted,
and being pushed around by the cops.
664
00:44:23,077 --> 00:44:25,620
So cheer up. Get rid of that long puss.
665
00:44:27,874 --> 00:44:29,666
Or is your conscience bothering you?
666
00:44:34,672 --> 00:44:35,505
No.
667
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:37,382
It isn't.
668
00:44:37,467 --> 00:44:39,468
Swell. That's the spirit.
669
00:44:41,012 --> 00:44:43,180
He's dead,
and no moaning around will bring him back.
670
00:44:46,684 --> 00:44:50,312
Anyway, I never could understand this worrying
about something that's over and done with.
671
00:44:50,396 --> 00:44:52,439
Now look, Vera.
For the last time, I didn't kill him.
672
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:53,982
Haskell was a sick man.
673
00:44:54,067 --> 00:44:56,109
Maybe he was dead before he fell
out of the car. I don't know.
674
00:44:56,194 --> 00:44:58,403
Sure, sure. He died of old age.
675
00:44:59,364 --> 00:45:00,364
All right.
676
00:45:01,324 --> 00:45:02,824
So if it'll make you sociable...
677
00:45:04,577 --> 00:45:05,827
you didn't kill him.
678
00:45:16,464 --> 00:45:17,297
Thanks.
679
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:31,186
- We're outta liquor, Roberts.
- Yeah.
680
00:45:32,313 --> 00:45:35,440
Too bad.
I felt like getting tight tonight.
681
00:45:35,525 --> 00:45:37,567
Well, I think you succeeded.
682
00:45:37,652 --> 00:45:40,737
- Am I tight?
- As a prima donna's corset.
683
00:45:40,822 --> 00:45:42,197
- That's good.
- [glass clatters]
684
00:45:42,281 --> 00:45:44,074
I wanted to get tight.
685
00:45:44,158 --> 00:45:46,785
Why? What have you got to get tight about?
686
00:45:46,869 --> 00:45:49,246
Oh, I don't know. A few things.
687
00:45:50,123 --> 00:45:50,956
[Al] Huh.
688
00:45:52,583 --> 00:45:54,042
You should have my worries.
689
00:45:54,127 --> 00:45:56,670
If I had your troubles, I'd stay sober.
690
00:45:56,754 --> 00:45:58,380
And I've got the key to that door.
691
00:46:01,926 --> 00:46:04,678
Yeah. Maybe you're right.
692
00:46:04,762 --> 00:46:06,388
I'm always right.
693
00:46:07,723 --> 00:46:10,183
You know, I don't like your attitude,
Roberts.
694
00:46:10,268 --> 00:46:12,018
Well, there's a lot of things I don't like.
695
00:46:13,479 --> 00:46:14,813
Say...
696
00:46:17,191 --> 00:46:19,276
But life's like a ball game.
697
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,111
You got to take a swing
at whatever comes along
698
00:46:21,195 --> 00:46:23,613
before you wake up
and find it's the ninth inning.
699
00:46:24,532 --> 00:46:25,782
Bet you read that somewhere.
700
00:46:25,867 --> 00:46:29,703
That's the trouble with you, Roberts.
All you do is bellyache.
701
00:46:30,788 --> 00:46:35,500
You could have taken it easy and,
well, try and make the best of things.
702
00:46:35,585 --> 00:46:38,378
But maybe that's what's wrong
with the whole world.
703
00:46:38,463 --> 00:46:40,297
Get the professor.
704
00:46:40,381 --> 00:46:43,133
People knock themselves out
trying to buck fate.
705
00:46:43,217 --> 00:46:46,386
Now take you, for instance.
You're lucky to be alive.
706
00:46:46,471 --> 00:46:49,055
Why, suppose Haskell had pulled open
your door?
707
00:46:49,140 --> 00:46:51,850
You'd be playing a harp now.
Think of that.
708
00:46:53,603 --> 00:46:56,855
You think of it. I'm tired of thinking.
709
00:46:56,939 --> 00:46:59,816
There's plenty of people dying this minute
710
00:46:59,901 --> 00:47:02,402
that would give anything
to trade places with you.
711
00:47:04,363 --> 00:47:05,989
I know what I'm talking about.
712
00:47:07,033 --> 00:47:10,744
I'm not so sure.
At least they know they're done for.
713
00:47:10,828 --> 00:47:13,580
They don't just sweat blood
wondering if they are.
714
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:16,750
Your philosophy stinks, pal.
715
00:47:18,002 --> 00:47:21,796
We all know we're gonna kick off someday.
It's only a question of when.
716
00:47:23,591 --> 00:47:26,551
But what got us on this subject anyway?
717
00:47:26,636 --> 00:47:28,553
We'll be discussing politics next.
718
00:47:29,388 --> 00:47:30,472
Yeah.
719
00:47:32,058 --> 00:47:33,433
Where'd you hide the butts?
720
00:47:34,310 --> 00:47:35,936
On the table, sucker.
721
00:47:43,611 --> 00:47:47,113
[Al narrating] We bored each other with
conversation for a couple of hours longer.
722
00:47:47,198 --> 00:47:50,408
Every five minutes, one of us was wishing
we had another bottle or a radio
723
00:47:50,493 --> 00:47:52,118
or something to read.
724
00:47:53,538 --> 00:47:55,247
Then finally we ran out of chat.
725
00:47:56,207 --> 00:47:57,499
I know it's only eleven o'clock,
726
00:47:57,583 --> 00:48:00,085
but I want to get up early
and make the rounds to the used car lots.
727
00:48:00,169 --> 00:48:03,088
No hurry about that.
We got all the time in the world.
728
00:48:03,172 --> 00:48:05,257
Maybe you have, but if you think
I want to stay cooped up in this place
729
00:48:05,341 --> 00:48:06,925
any longer than I have to, you're batty.
730
00:48:07,009 --> 00:48:10,262
It's not a bad place. Pay plenty
for diggings like this in New York.
731
00:48:10,346 --> 00:48:12,347
I wouldn't like it if it was the Ritz.
732
00:48:12,431 --> 00:48:14,849
[coughs]
733
00:48:16,602 --> 00:48:18,144
Rotten liquor. [coughs]
734
00:48:18,229 --> 00:48:20,981
You got a mean cough.
Ought to do something about it.
735
00:48:21,065 --> 00:48:22,315
I'll be all right.
736
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,817
That's what Camille said.
737
00:48:24,527 --> 00:48:25,652
Who?
738
00:48:25,736 --> 00:48:27,195
Nobody you know.
739
00:48:30,908 --> 00:48:33,368
- Wasn't that the dame that died of consumption?
- Yeah.
740
00:48:34,704 --> 00:48:37,289
Wouldn't it be a break for you
if I did kick off.
741
00:48:37,373 --> 00:48:40,333
You'd be free
with all Haskell's dough and car.
742
00:48:40,418 --> 00:48:42,043
I don't want to see anybody die.
743
00:48:43,212 --> 00:48:44,921
Not even me?
744
00:48:45,006 --> 00:48:48,008
Especially not you. One person died on me.
745
00:48:48,092 --> 00:48:50,510
If you did, well, that's all I need.
746
00:48:52,388 --> 00:48:54,222
You don't like me, do you, Roberts?
747
00:48:55,933 --> 00:48:56,975
Like you?
748
00:48:58,352 --> 00:48:59,769
I love you.
749
00:49:01,022 --> 00:49:02,981
My favorite sport is being kept prisoner.
750
00:49:04,025 --> 00:49:07,485
After we sell the car, you can go to blazes
for all I care, but not until then.
751
00:49:14,910 --> 00:49:16,536
I'm going to bed.
752
00:49:24,962 --> 00:49:26,463
Good night, Roberts.
753
00:49:26,547 --> 00:49:29,549
Don't try and sneak away during the night.
All the doors are locked.
754
00:49:29,634 --> 00:49:33,136
Anyway, if I find you gone in the morning,
I'll notify the police.
755
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:35,889
- They'll pick you up.
- Don't worry. I know when I'm in a spot.
756
00:49:36,974 --> 00:49:40,935
Well, good night. I hope that portable
rack isn't too uncomfortable for you.
757
00:49:41,020 --> 00:49:43,146
Don't lose any sleep over it,
will you, Vera?
758
00:49:44,940 --> 00:49:47,025
[key scratching lock]
759
00:50:20,601 --> 00:50:21,935
[softly] CRestview...
760
00:50:23,813 --> 00:50:29,651
6... 5... 7,
761
00:50:29,735 --> 00:50:32,654
[whispers] 2... 3.
762
00:50:33,948 --> 00:50:35,073
Hello?
763
00:50:36,117 --> 00:50:37,117
Hello!
764
00:50:38,327 --> 00:50:39,411
Hello?
765
00:50:40,579 --> 00:50:41,746
Hello?
766
00:50:48,295 --> 00:50:51,881
No. Not yet, darling.
767
00:50:53,134 --> 00:50:54,509
Tomorrow.
768
00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:56,928
Maybe.
769
00:51:00,391 --> 00:51:01,891
[Al narrating] if this were fiction,
770
00:51:01,976 --> 00:51:05,562
I would fall in love with her, marry her,
and make a respectable woman of her,
771
00:51:05,646 --> 00:51:09,816
or else she'd make some supreme,
class-A sacrifice for me and die.
772
00:51:11,152 --> 00:51:13,361
Sue and I would ball a little
over her grave
773
00:51:13,446 --> 00:51:16,448
and make some crack about
"there's good in all of us."
774
00:51:16,532 --> 00:51:20,160
But Vera, unfortunately,
was just as rotten in the morning
775
00:51:20,244 --> 00:51:21,870
as she'd been the night before.
776
00:51:21,954 --> 00:51:23,455
[knocking]
777
00:51:23,539 --> 00:51:25,415
All right, all right, I'm coming.
778
00:51:25,499 --> 00:51:27,459
[Al] Look, Vera, it's almost noon.
779
00:51:29,003 --> 00:51:31,254
So what?
The dealers will be there all day.
780
00:51:31,338 --> 00:51:34,007
They'll be there all year too, but it
doesn't mean I'm gonna wait that long.
781
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:36,551
Shut up.
You're making noises like a husband.
782
00:51:39,180 --> 00:51:42,932
- Well, do I rate a whistle?
- You sure do, but let's go.
783
00:51:43,017 --> 00:51:46,519
Let's go, let's go. I spend 85 bucks
and two hours preparing bait,
784
00:51:46,604 --> 00:51:48,188
and all you can say is "Let's go."
785
00:51:48,272 --> 00:51:51,274
[sighs] Come on.
786
00:51:56,071 --> 00:51:58,698
We passed a few used car lots
last night down this way.
787
00:51:58,783 --> 00:52:00,784
What do you think
we can get for this heap?
788
00:52:00,868 --> 00:52:04,496
I don't know. Plenty.
You just let me handle everything.
789
00:52:04,580 --> 00:52:06,206
You think we can get $2,000?
790
00:52:06,290 --> 00:52:07,707
I don't know. But don't worry.
791
00:52:07,792 --> 00:52:10,126
I'll squeeze as much
out of this guy as I can.
792
00:52:10,211 --> 00:52:13,296
If I let it go cheap without a fight,
he might think we've stolen the car.
793
00:52:13,380 --> 00:52:17,675
And listen, don't make any slips
and call me Roberts. That'll cook us.
794
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,636
I don't need you to tell me that.
795
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:21,930
You better just sit by
and keep your mouth closed.
796
00:52:22,014 --> 00:52:24,015
Remember, we're both in the soup
if anything happens.
797
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:25,642
Forget it and drive.
798
00:52:25,726 --> 00:52:28,144
You're my wife... Vera Haskell.
799
00:52:28,229 --> 00:52:32,315
Look, after the deal's closed, let's go
back to that place on Hollywood Boulevard
800
00:52:32,399 --> 00:52:33,942
where I saw the fur jacket.
801
00:52:34,026 --> 00:52:35,235
I want to buy it.
802
00:52:35,319 --> 00:52:37,987
After the deal's closed,
I'm saying good-bye to you.
803
00:52:38,072 --> 00:52:41,491
That's right. I forgot.
I guess I'm getting kind of used to you.
804
00:52:42,743 --> 00:52:45,036
Well, that's a habit
you can start breaking.
805
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,455
Let's try this place
in the middle of the block.
806
00:52:53,671 --> 00:52:55,129
Good afternoon. What can I do for you?
807
00:52:55,214 --> 00:52:58,508
- We're interested in selling a car.
- If the price is right.
808
00:53:01,387 --> 00:53:05,473
Well, if it's in good mechanical condition,
it should blue book for about 1,600.
809
00:53:06,475 --> 00:53:07,892
Tony, take a look at this motor.
810
00:53:07,977 --> 00:53:10,228
1,600. Are you kidding?
811
00:53:14,108 --> 00:53:15,900
[car hood opening]
812
00:53:21,448 --> 00:53:23,283
Well, maybe 1,850.
813
00:53:23,367 --> 00:53:26,744
Before I let it go for 1,850, I'll wreck it
and collect the insurance first.
814
00:53:26,829 --> 00:53:27,912
[coughs]
815
00:53:31,375 --> 00:53:33,376
Lady, this motor's seen a lot of driving.
816
00:53:39,925 --> 00:53:43,219
[Al narrating] While the mechanic
inspected the car, we haggled.
817
00:53:43,721 --> 00:53:46,973
At last, when we were all worn out,
we hit a compromise...
818
00:53:47,057 --> 00:53:48,600
his price.
819
00:53:51,896 --> 00:53:53,104
Okay, it's a deal.
820
00:53:53,188 --> 00:53:56,524
- Come in, we'll sign the papers.
- I have the ownership papers here with me.
821
00:53:56,609 --> 00:53:59,319
Look, Vera, in the meantime,
will you clean out the dash compartment?
822
00:53:59,403 --> 00:54:02,196
- There may be some stuff in it.
- All right, darling.
823
00:54:04,325 --> 00:54:06,534
1,850 bucks.
824
00:54:06,619 --> 00:54:08,244
That dirty cr...
825
00:54:15,544 --> 00:54:17,420
- Mm, New York, huh?
- Yeah.
826
00:54:17,504 --> 00:54:20,757
- But you bought the car in Miami?
- Yeah.
827
00:54:20,841 --> 00:54:22,467
Well, now, let's see about the insurance.
828
00:54:22,551 --> 00:54:24,552
We can either have it transferred
or canceled.
829
00:54:24,637 --> 00:54:27,263
Uh, what kind of insurance do you have,
Mr. Haskell?
830
00:54:28,432 --> 00:54:31,559
Well, uh, aren't all the papers there?
831
00:54:33,729 --> 00:54:37,857
I don't see any. Surely you know what type
of insurance you carry on the car.
832
00:54:37,942 --> 00:54:39,442
The name of the company?
833
00:54:40,277 --> 00:54:41,486
Yeah, but, uh...
834
00:54:41,570 --> 00:54:43,321
Well, if you'll just tell me
the name of the company,
835
00:54:43,405 --> 00:54:45,114
I'd be very glad to take care
of all the details.
836
00:54:45,199 --> 00:54:46,324
Well...
837
00:54:46,408 --> 00:54:48,409
- Did you sign the papers yet?
- Not yet.
838
00:54:48,494 --> 00:54:50,536
Well, don't. We're not selling the car.
839
00:54:50,621 --> 00:54:52,538
- Well, wait a minute, Mrs. Haskell...
- Come on, darling.
840
00:54:52,623 --> 00:54:55,917
- What's the matter? Change your mind?
- Yes. I'm sorry. I guess I have.
841
00:54:56,001 --> 00:54:57,377
- But, Vera...
- Let's go.
842
00:55:03,384 --> 00:55:06,636
You got me out of a tight spot, Vera,
but I still don't understand all this.
843
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:09,722
You will in a minute.
I almost threw away a gold mine.
844
00:55:09,807 --> 00:55:13,726
1,850 isn't to be sneezed at. The car
doesn't book for as much as I thought.
845
00:55:13,811 --> 00:55:15,478
We're not selling the car.
846
00:55:15,562 --> 00:55:17,438
You want to keep it?
Now wait a minute, Vera.
847
00:55:17,523 --> 00:55:20,608
You said yourself I wouldn't be safe
until the car was in someone else's name.
848
00:55:20,693 --> 00:55:22,360
I'd like to be free of this mess
when I go.
849
00:55:22,444 --> 00:55:24,612
That's just it, Roberts. You're not going.
850
00:55:25,531 --> 00:55:27,365
- [sighs]
- There's a drive-in at the next corner.
851
00:55:27,449 --> 00:55:30,201
Pull in there and we'll get a bite to eat
and I'll explain.
852
00:55:30,285 --> 00:55:32,453
What is this,
another one of your brilliant ideas?
853
00:55:38,794 --> 00:55:41,671
- Hello. May I take your order?
- Make mine a ham sandwich and coffee.
854
00:55:41,755 --> 00:55:44,340
- And for you, sir?
- Oh, I don't care. The same.
855
00:55:46,510 --> 00:55:47,719
Thank you.
856
00:55:52,224 --> 00:55:55,226
Get this, Vera,
I've been pretty patient so far.
857
00:55:55,310 --> 00:55:57,311
I've done everything you asked me to do,
but no more.
858
00:55:57,396 --> 00:55:59,564
- Shut up.
- You've taken Haskell's money.
859
00:55:59,648 --> 00:56:01,524
And you can have the dough we get
from selling the car,
860
00:56:01,608 --> 00:56:03,192
but you're not gonna keep me a prisoner.
861
00:56:03,277 --> 00:56:05,069
It's a good thing I bought the paper.
Look at that.
862
00:56:05,154 --> 00:56:07,030
- Vera, I'm in no mood...
- Read that.
863
00:56:17,708 --> 00:56:19,292
- No.
- Yes.
864
00:56:19,376 --> 00:56:20,960
- No, I won't do it.
- Yes, you will.
865
00:56:21,045 --> 00:56:23,254
You think I'm crazy.
It's impossible, I tell ya.
866
00:56:24,131 --> 00:56:25,173
Excuse me.
867
00:56:30,637 --> 00:56:32,138
Blow the horn when you're through.
868
00:56:35,350 --> 00:56:38,561
No one could possibly get away with an act
like that. Be wise to me in a minute.
869
00:56:38,645 --> 00:56:39,812
Don't be yellow.
870
00:56:39,897 --> 00:56:42,690
You look enough like him.
The same coloring and the same build.
871
00:56:42,775 --> 00:56:44,358
See how his clothes fit ya?
872
00:56:44,443 --> 00:56:46,235
No kidding. You almost
had me fooled for a while.
873
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:47,528
Oh, grow up, Vera.
874
00:56:47,613 --> 00:56:50,406
Don't you think a father knows his own
son? There must be other relatives.
875
00:56:50,491 --> 00:56:53,326
The father won't have to know ya.
We'll wait till he gives up the ghost.
876
00:56:53,410 --> 00:56:55,411
He's an old geezer
and he won't pull through.
877
00:56:55,496 --> 00:56:59,373
And as far as the relatives are concerned,
they haven't seen you in 15 or 20 years.
878
00:57:00,876 --> 00:57:02,585
- Eat.
- I'm not hungry.
879
00:57:03,253 --> 00:57:06,130
- And I won't do it.
- It's not as tough as it sounds.
880
00:57:06,215 --> 00:57:08,049
Remember, you've got
all kinds of identification...
881
00:57:08,133 --> 00:57:09,133
his car, letters, license...
882
00:57:09,218 --> 00:57:11,761
I could never get away with it.
It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
883
00:57:11,845 --> 00:57:13,888
The old boy has scads of dough.
884
00:57:13,972 --> 00:57:17,141
Look in the paper there. Personal fortune
assessed at over 15 million.
885
00:57:17,226 --> 00:57:18,684
He'll leave plenty, I tell ya.
886
00:57:18,769 --> 00:57:20,937
Maybe he cut off his son.
How do we know?
887
00:57:21,021 --> 00:57:23,606
It's out, Vera.
I won't have anything to do with it.
888
00:57:24,817 --> 00:57:27,068
I think you will.
889
00:57:27,152 --> 00:57:30,696
Look, Vera, I'll do anything
within reason, but not that.
890
00:57:30,781 --> 00:57:32,698
So forget it or find yourself another stooge.
891
00:57:32,783 --> 00:57:34,033
You sap!
892
00:57:34,785 --> 00:57:36,911
You'll be fixed for the rest of your life
as Charlie Haskell.
893
00:57:36,995 --> 00:57:40,081
You can take your inheritance and go away.
No more worrying about the rent.
894
00:57:40,165 --> 00:57:42,291
No sweating, scheming, wondering
where your next meal's coming from!
895
00:57:42,376 --> 00:57:43,417
Think about that, Roberts!
896
00:57:43,502 --> 00:57:46,295
Vera, please. You're talking too loud.
897
00:57:46,713 --> 00:57:49,298
On this I'm splitting 50-50 with you.
Sure, why not?
898
00:57:49,383 --> 00:57:51,050
We're both alike.
Both born in the same gutter.
899
00:57:51,135 --> 00:57:52,301
Now take it easy, Vera.
900
00:57:52,386 --> 00:57:54,637
There's people around here.
You don't know what you're talking...
901
00:57:55,806 --> 00:57:59,684
We'll wait till we read that old man
Haskell's dead. Then you show up.
902
00:57:59,768 --> 00:58:02,061
Like you read in New York
that he was sick.
903
00:58:02,146 --> 00:58:04,772
No! Suppose he doesn't die?
904
00:58:04,857 --> 00:58:06,941
He will. I know he will.
Something tells me.
905
00:58:09,611 --> 00:58:12,405
[Al narrating] But as much as I insisted
I would have no part of her scheme,
906
00:58:12,489 --> 00:58:14,448
Vera was taking it for granted I would.
907
00:58:16,535 --> 00:58:19,954
Neither of us had our mind on the cards
as we played that night.
908
00:58:20,038 --> 00:58:23,207
I knew we were just trying to kill time
between newspaper editions.
909
00:58:24,042 --> 00:58:26,002
This was a deathwatch for Vera.
910
00:58:27,129 --> 00:58:28,713
Maybe it was for me too.
911
00:58:28,797 --> 00:58:32,383
Don't you realize if I'm caught they'll want
to know where I got the car and stuff?
912
00:58:32,467 --> 00:58:35,595
- Then they'll have me on a murder charge.
- If you're smart, you won't get caught.
913
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:37,054
I knock with seven.
914
00:58:37,139 --> 00:58:39,348
And if I'm caught,
don't you realize you'll be out too?
915
00:58:39,808 --> 00:58:42,935
Eighteen points. That gives me 30.
916
00:58:44,188 --> 00:58:45,438
How will I be out?
917
00:58:45,522 --> 00:58:47,982
You'll be out $1,850 we would have gotten
on the car.
918
00:58:48,066 --> 00:58:49,483
Really, Vera, you'd be an awful chump
919
00:58:49,568 --> 00:58:51,569
if you threw away all that dough
on a dizzy long shot.
920
00:58:51,653 --> 00:58:52,904
Let me sell the bus tomorrow.
921
00:58:52,988 --> 00:58:54,655
With the money it'll bring
and what you've already got,
922
00:58:54,740 --> 00:58:56,449
a clever kid like you
can run it up in no time.
923
00:58:56,533 --> 00:58:59,035
- Then we'd both be in the clear.
- I'll be in the clear anyway.
924
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:00,912
Maybe. Maybe.
925
00:59:00,996 --> 00:59:02,580
But if I got caught...
926
00:59:03,540 --> 00:59:06,083
- I'd get good and sore at you, you know.
- You mean you'd squeal?
927
00:59:06,168 --> 00:59:08,377
- Well, no, not squeal exactly...
- Never mind what you meant!
928
00:59:11,048 --> 00:59:14,425
Even if you did tell the cops
I was in on it with you,
929
00:59:14,509 --> 00:59:15,885
what could they do to me?
930
00:59:16,929 --> 00:59:19,347
They might give me the same medicine
they gave you.
931
00:59:19,431 --> 00:59:21,140
- Yeah.
- A rope.
932
00:59:23,644 --> 00:59:25,770
But I'm on my way anyhow.
933
00:59:27,731 --> 00:59:29,732
All they'll be doing will be rushing it.
934
00:59:30,359 --> 00:59:32,818
All right. But think of the 1,850 you'd lose.
935
00:59:32,903 --> 00:59:35,655
You'd kick yourself along the block
if you let that get away from you.
936
00:59:35,739 --> 00:59:38,658
I'll take the chance. Want another drink?
937
00:59:38,742 --> 00:59:41,744
You're being a goon. That's the way
people wind up behind the eight ball.
938
00:59:41,828 --> 00:59:44,330
Once they get a few dollars,
they become greedy and want more.
939
00:59:44,414 --> 00:59:45,706
My, my.
940
00:59:45,791 --> 00:59:46,791
- Caesar.
- Who?
941
00:59:46,875 --> 00:59:49,585
You know, that Roman general?
He got his for being greedy.
942
00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:52,838
He wasn't satisfied.
So the final windup was he took the count.
943
00:59:52,923 --> 00:59:55,299
A couple of days ago you didn't have a dime.
944
00:59:55,384 --> 00:59:58,219
Why, you were so broke
you couldn't pay cash for a postage stamp.
945
00:59:58,303 --> 01:00:01,347
Now you've got almost $700,
with 1,850 in the offing.
946
01:00:01,431 --> 01:00:03,099
Take my advice. Don't try for more.
947
01:00:03,183 --> 01:00:05,768
I'm tired of this game.
Let's have some blackjack.
948
01:00:05,852 --> 01:00:06,686
Play solitaire.
949
01:00:06,770 --> 01:00:09,313
- I will, if that's the way you feel about it.
- That's the way I feel about it.
950
01:00:09,398 --> 01:00:11,607
Getting sore and throwing things
won't help much, Roberts.
951
01:00:11,692 --> 01:00:15,111
I'm merely doing you a favor. I help you out of
a jam by keepin' my mouth shut.
952
01:00:15,195 --> 01:00:18,072
I show you how to make some soft money,
and what thanks do I get?
953
01:00:18,156 --> 01:00:19,156
- Thanks?
- Sure.
954
01:00:19,241 --> 01:00:21,659
Or would you rather I called the cops and told
them you killed a man and stole his money?
955
01:00:21,743 --> 01:00:22,827
- I didn't kill anybody.
- Yes, you did.
956
01:00:22,911 --> 01:00:25,705
- No, I didn't. You know I didn't.
- All right, then.
957
01:00:28,542 --> 01:00:30,251
Suppose I call the cops?
958
01:00:30,335 --> 01:00:32,920
If you're innocent,
what do you got to be scared of?
959
01:00:33,005 --> 01:00:36,590
Okay, call 'em, you mutt. Go ahead and call 'em.
See if I care.
960
01:00:36,675 --> 01:00:39,552
- At least they'll give me a square deal.
- You want me to call 'em?
961
01:00:39,636 --> 01:00:43,597
You heard me. But I'm warning ya.
If I'm pinched, I'll swear you were in on it.
962
01:00:43,682 --> 01:00:46,976
I'll say that you helped me.
If I'm frying, I'll get even with you.
963
01:00:47,060 --> 01:00:48,686
You wouldn't dare. You're chicken!
964
01:00:48,770 --> 01:00:52,815
Yeah? Then try it and see.
Call 'em. Yeah.
965
01:00:53,650 --> 01:00:55,067
Okay, I will.
966
01:00:57,112 --> 01:01:00,489
[dialing]
967
01:01:07,706 --> 01:01:09,915
Information.
968
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,835
I want the number
of the Hollywood police station.
969
01:01:14,713 --> 01:01:16,756
Okay, I got it. Thanks.
970
01:01:17,966 --> 01:01:19,592
[phone hook clicks]
971
01:01:19,676 --> 01:01:21,677
- [dialing]
- Wait a minute, Vera. You wouldn't do that.
972
01:01:21,762 --> 01:01:23,721
Oh, wouldn't I? Give me that
and I'll show you if I would!
973
01:01:23,805 --> 01:01:25,681
Take it easy now. Let's talk this over.
974
01:01:25,766 --> 01:01:27,558
[Al narrating]
This was early in the evening.
975
01:01:27,642 --> 01:01:32,146
And the conversation, while hectic,
was at least pitched low.
976
01:01:32,230 --> 01:01:36,776
But as the minutes passed and more obstacles
to her plan popped into my head,
977
01:01:36,860 --> 01:01:38,486
the air got blue.
978
01:01:38,570 --> 01:01:41,822
Each word coming from our lips
cracked like a whip.
979
01:01:41,907 --> 01:01:45,785
I reminded her that as Charles Haskell
I didn't even know my mother's name,
980
01:01:45,869 --> 01:01:47,578
where I'd gone to school,
981
01:01:47,662 --> 01:01:49,413
the name of my best friend,
982
01:01:49,498 --> 01:01:51,415
whether I had an Aunt Emma or not,
983
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:54,794
my religion, and if I'd ever owned a dog.
984
01:01:54,878 --> 01:01:57,463
I didn't even know
what my middle initial stood for.
985
01:01:57,547 --> 01:02:00,925
I also pointed out that the real Haskell
had a scar on his forearm.
986
01:02:01,510 --> 01:02:03,302
His people never saw that scar.
987
01:02:03,387 --> 01:02:05,596
He told me he ran away
right after putting out the kid's eye.
988
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,140
Yeah, but his father knew he was cut.
There'd have to be some kind of mark.
989
01:02:08,225 --> 01:02:10,434
So what?
990
01:02:10,519 --> 01:02:14,438
The old man's dead or will be.
I hope by tomorrow morning's papers.
991
01:02:14,523 --> 01:02:18,025
Anyway, you could cut yourself
a little, couldn't ya?
992
01:02:19,027 --> 01:02:22,321
Boy, for that kind of dough,
I'd let you cut my leg off.
993
01:02:22,406 --> 01:02:23,989
You're drunk and you're crazy mad, Vera.
994
01:02:24,074 --> 01:02:26,033
Turn me in if you want to,
but I won't get mixed up in this.
995
01:02:26,118 --> 01:02:28,160
Besides, how do we know?
Haskell was such a phony.
996
01:02:28,245 --> 01:02:30,371
Maybe he wasn't the man's son at all.
Maybe he just dreamed it up.
997
01:02:30,455 --> 01:02:35,918
Well, dreaming or not, you won't be dreaming
when the law taps you on the shoulder.
998
01:02:36,002 --> 01:02:39,588
There's a cute little gas chamber
waiting for you, Roberts.
999
01:02:39,673 --> 01:02:43,134
And I hear extradition to Arizona's a cinch.
1000
01:02:43,218 --> 01:02:45,052
Where's that phone?
1001
01:02:45,137 --> 01:02:46,512
- Vera.
- Leave me alone!
1002
01:02:46,596 --> 01:02:50,057
- Vera!
- I wanna phone, call the police.
1003
01:02:50,767 --> 01:02:54,812
I hate you, you stinker.
You leave me alone!
1004
01:02:54,896 --> 01:02:57,106
I'll let you alone when you promise to leave
the phone where it is.
1005
01:02:57,190 --> 01:02:59,150
- You're drunk. You don't know what you're doing.
- You're hurting me.
1006
01:02:59,234 --> 01:03:00,860
Will you promise?
1007
01:03:00,944 --> 01:03:02,528
All right.
1008
01:03:07,492 --> 01:03:10,327
- You hurt me.
- I'm sorry, but...
1009
01:03:10,412 --> 01:03:13,372
- And it's hot in here! Open up a window!
- It's not hot!
1010
01:03:13,457 --> 01:03:16,125
Don't tell me!
Now do you do it or do I do it?
1011
01:03:18,086 --> 01:03:19,837
You're no gentleman, see?
1012
01:03:19,921 --> 01:03:23,299
Yeah. All right, I'll open up the window.
1013
01:03:26,428 --> 01:03:27,511
Vera!
1014
01:03:31,892 --> 01:03:34,643
Vera, open the door.
Please open the door.
1015
01:03:34,728 --> 01:03:36,854
Vera, open the door.
Don't use the phone. Listen to me.
1016
01:03:37,522 --> 01:03:40,983
I don't like you, Roberts.
You're no gentleman, see?
1017
01:03:41,067 --> 01:03:45,154
You hurt my hand,
and I'm gonna get even with you.
1018
01:03:45,238 --> 01:03:48,407
If you don't open the door,
I'm gonna kick it down, Vera.
1019
01:03:48,492 --> 01:03:51,368
Vera, don't call the cops.
Listen to me, I'll do anything you say.
1020
01:03:52,287 --> 01:03:53,746
Vera, let me in!
1021
01:03:55,207 --> 01:03:56,665
I'll break the phone!
1022
01:04:14,267 --> 01:04:17,269
[grunting]
1023
01:04:22,609 --> 01:04:23,943
Vera.
1024
01:04:34,579 --> 01:04:36,539
[Al narrating] The world is full of skeptics.
1025
01:04:37,290 --> 01:04:39,667
I know. I'm one myself.
1026
01:04:40,669 --> 01:04:43,712
In the Haskell business, how many of you
would believe he fell out of the car?
1027
01:04:43,797 --> 01:04:46,173
And now, after killing Vera
without really meaning to do it,
1028
01:04:46,258 --> 01:04:48,676
how many of you would believe
it wasn't premeditated?
1029
01:04:49,719 --> 01:04:53,264
In a jury room, every last man of you
would go down shouting
1030
01:04:53,348 --> 01:04:56,058
that she had me over a barrel
and my only out was force.
1031
01:04:58,103 --> 01:04:59,728
The room was still.
1032
01:05:00,730 --> 01:05:03,691
So quiet that for a while I'd wondered
if I'd suddenly gone deaf.
1033
01:05:04,484 --> 01:05:06,235
It was pure fear, of course.
1034
01:05:06,319 --> 01:05:08,195
And I was hysterical,
1035
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:09,989
but without making a sound.
1036
01:05:11,324 --> 01:05:14,285
Vera was dead, and I was her murderer.
1037
01:05:15,370 --> 01:05:19,873
Murderer. What an awful word that is.
But I'd become one.
1038
01:05:19,958 --> 01:05:22,042
I'd better not get caught.
1039
01:05:22,127 --> 01:05:24,628
What evidence there was around the place
had to be destroyed.
1040
01:05:24,713 --> 01:05:26,505
And from the looks of things, there was plenty.
1041
01:05:26,590 --> 01:05:28,299
Looking around the room at things we'd bought
1042
01:05:28,383 --> 01:05:30,801
was like looking into the faces of
a hundred people who'd seen us together
1043
01:05:30,885 --> 01:05:32,803
and who remembered me.
1044
01:05:32,887 --> 01:05:35,306
This was the kind of testimony
I couldn't rub out.
1045
01:05:36,808 --> 01:05:38,058
No.
1046
01:05:38,143 --> 01:05:41,312
I could burn clothes and hide bottles
for the next five years.
1047
01:05:41,396 --> 01:05:42,855
There'd always be witnesses.
1048
01:05:42,939 --> 01:05:44,732
The landlady for one.
She could identify me.
1049
01:05:44,816 --> 01:05:46,233
The car dealer, the waitress in the drive-in,
1050
01:05:46,318 --> 01:05:48,819
the girl in the dress shop,
and that guy in the liquor store.
1051
01:05:48,903 --> 01:05:50,696
They could all identify me.
1052
01:05:52,032 --> 01:05:55,868
I was cooked. Done for.
I had to get out of there.
1053
01:05:57,203 --> 01:05:59,330
While once I remained beside a dead body
1054
01:05:59,414 --> 01:06:02,416
planning carefully how to avoid
being accused of killing him,
1055
01:06:02,500 --> 01:06:04,752
this time I couldn't.
1056
01:06:04,836 --> 01:06:06,503
This time I was guilty.
1057
01:06:07,422 --> 01:06:09,923
I knew it. Felt it.
1058
01:06:10,967 --> 01:06:13,218
I was like a guy suffering from shock.
1059
01:06:13,303 --> 01:06:14,970
Things were whirling around in my head.
1060
01:06:15,055 --> 01:06:17,890
I couldn't make myself think right.
1061
01:06:17,974 --> 01:06:21,435
All I could think of was the guy with
the saxophone and what he was playing.
1062
01:06:22,437 --> 01:06:24,021
It wasn't a love song anymore.
1063
01:06:24,814 --> 01:06:26,565
It was a dirge.
1064
01:07:12,028 --> 01:07:14,113
[jukebox: up-tempo band music]
1065
01:07:14,197 --> 01:07:16,615
[Al narrating]
But my problems weren't solved.
1066
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:19,493
I had to stay away from New York
for all time.
1067
01:07:20,328 --> 01:07:23,622
Because Al Roberts was listed as dead
and had to stay dead.
1068
01:07:24,332 --> 01:07:25,999
And I could never go back to Hollywood.
1069
01:07:26,835 --> 01:07:28,794
Someone might recognize me as Haskell.
1070
01:07:30,130 --> 01:07:33,048
- Then, too, there was Sue.
- [music stops]
1071
01:07:34,467 --> 01:07:37,803
I could never go to her with a thing
like this hanging over my head.
1072
01:07:39,180 --> 01:07:42,474
All I could do was pray she'd be happy.
1073
01:07:53,486 --> 01:07:57,656
I was in Bakersfield before I read
that Vera's body was discovered.
1074
01:07:57,741 --> 01:08:01,368
And that the police were looking for Haskell
in connection with his wife's murder.
1075
01:08:02,871 --> 01:08:04,413
Isn't that a laugh?
1076
01:08:05,081 --> 01:08:09,001
Haskell got me into this mess
and Haskell was getting me out of it.
1077
01:08:09,085 --> 01:08:11,170
The police were searching for a dead man.
1078
01:08:14,674 --> 01:08:16,884
I keep trying to forget what happened...
1079
01:08:18,261 --> 01:08:22,973
and wonder what my life might have been
if that car of Haskell's hadn't stopped.
1080
01:08:24,768 --> 01:08:26,935
But one thing I don't have to wonder about.
1081
01:08:28,146 --> 01:08:29,605
I know.
1082
01:08:31,107 --> 01:08:34,234
Someday a car will stop to pick me up
that I never thumbed.
1083
01:08:38,990 --> 01:08:39,865
Yes.
1084
01:08:40,742 --> 01:08:44,411
Fate... or some mysterious force
1085
01:08:44,496 --> 01:08:47,414
can put the finger on you or me
1086
01:08:47,499 --> 01:08:49,500
for no good reason at all.

Al Roberts, an unemployed piano player, hitches a ride, arriving at a roadside diner in Reno, Nevada. Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.
Al recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.
In Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.
Al realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.
Al crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.
In Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.
Back at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.
Al gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of "his wife." Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest.

00:02:41,245 --> 00:02:44,163
Well, here we are.
I turn down here at the next block.
2
00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,874
Thanks, mister. I'll get off there.
3
00:02:51,088 --> 00:02:53,297
[jukebox: up-tempo band music]
4
00:02:53,382 --> 00:02:56,384
- Want anything else?
- No.
5
00:02:56,468 --> 00:02:57,552
Hey, you.
6
00:03:00,556 --> 00:03:03,266
- Me?
- Yeah, you. Where ya heading?
7
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,686
- East.
- Too bad.
8
00:03:07,563 --> 00:03:10,439
I thought if you was headin' north,
I might be able to help you out.
9
00:03:10,524 --> 00:03:13,276
Pushing to Salt Lake,
and I don't like to ride alone at night.
10
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,028
I'm one of those guys that gotta talk
or I fall asleep.
11
00:03:16,113 --> 00:03:17,738
- Oh.
- So I gotta get my...
12
00:03:17,823 --> 00:03:20,157
My partner,
he's got Lou to keep him company.
13
00:03:20,242 --> 00:03:21,909
But I ain't got nobody at all.
14
00:03:21,994 --> 00:03:24,620
- Where ya comin' from?
- West.
15
00:03:24,705 --> 00:03:27,331
Yeah, sure, I know,
but where? LA?
16
00:03:27,416 --> 00:03:29,792
- Maybe.
- Got a cousin out in LA.
17
00:03:29,877 --> 00:03:31,586
- You don't say?
- Yeah, he's been out...
18
00:03:33,046 --> 00:03:34,505
You're not much of a talker, are ya?
19
00:03:34,590 --> 00:03:36,507
My mother taught me
never to speak to strangers.
20
00:03:36,592 --> 00:03:38,426
- Oh, a wise guy, huh?
- So what?
21
00:03:38,510 --> 00:03:42,430
Okay, okay. Don't get sore.
Just trying to be sociable, that's all.
22
00:03:43,891 --> 00:03:45,308
- Hey, Glamorous.
- [coin clatters]
23
00:03:45,392 --> 00:03:47,018
Give me change for a dime, will ya?
24
00:03:51,899 --> 00:03:54,233
- [register rings]
- [coin clatters]
25
00:03:56,778 --> 00:03:58,821
Let's have something quieter this time, Joe.
26
00:03:58,906 --> 00:04:00,907
- My head's splitting.
- Is that what's wrong with it?
27
00:04:00,991 --> 00:04:02,450
[chuckles softly]
28
00:04:04,161 --> 00:04:07,747
- Done with your coffee?
- No. And don't rush me, will ya?
29
00:04:07,831 --> 00:04:11,250
[jukebox: new song plays, up-tempo]
30
00:04:15,172 --> 00:04:17,173
Hey, turn that off.
Will ya turn that thing off?
31
00:04:17,257 --> 00:04:19,050
- What's eating you now?
- Yeah, what's eating you?
32
00:04:19,134 --> 00:04:21,052
- That music. It stinks!
- Oh, you don't like it, huh?
33
00:04:21,136 --> 00:04:23,220
- No, turn it off!
- Now wait a minute, pal.
34
00:04:23,305 --> 00:04:24,972
That was my nickel, see?
35
00:04:25,057 --> 00:04:28,059
This is a free country,
and I play whatever I want to.
36
00:04:29,603 --> 00:04:30,645
Okay.
37
00:04:30,729 --> 00:04:33,022
Sure. And if you don't like,
you don't have to listen to it.
38
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:35,066
And you can leave here anytime you wanna.
39
00:04:35,150 --> 00:04:36,692
Okay, okay. I'm sorry I asked.
40
00:04:36,777 --> 00:04:38,986
First good piece played tonight,
and you don't like it.
41
00:04:39,071 --> 00:04:41,489
Some people just ain't got any good taste.
42
00:04:44,076 --> 00:04:47,161
[music continues]
43
00:04:52,751 --> 00:04:55,962
[thinking] That tune. That tune!
44
00:04:56,046 --> 00:04:58,297
Why was there always that rotten tune?
45
00:04:58,382 --> 00:05:01,175
Following me around, beating in my head,
never letting up.
46
00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:07,181
Did you ever wanna forget anything?
47
00:05:07,599 --> 00:05:10,518
Did you ever wanna cut away
a piece of your memory or blot it out?
48
00:05:10,978 --> 00:05:14,397
You can't, you know?
No matter how hard you try.
49
00:05:14,481 --> 00:05:16,440
You can change the scenery,
50
00:05:16,525 --> 00:05:18,609
but sooner or later
you'll get a whiff of perfume,
51
00:05:18,694 --> 00:05:21,195
or somebody will say a certain phrase
or maybe hum something.
52
00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:23,531
Then you're licked again.
53
00:05:25,575 --> 00:05:27,994
"I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me."
54
00:05:28,078 --> 00:05:29,954
I used to love that song once.
55
00:05:30,038 --> 00:05:33,124
So did the customers back in the old
Break O' Dawn Club in New York.
56
00:05:33,625 --> 00:05:36,711
I can't remember a night when I didn't get
at least three requests for it.
57
00:05:37,504 --> 00:05:40,756
Sue, she was always selling it too.
58
00:05:41,258 --> 00:05:42,550
Those were the days.
59
00:05:42,634 --> 00:05:44,635
[song continues]
60
00:05:48,598 --> 00:05:51,559
[song continues, live combo playing]
61
00:06:07,701 --> 00:06:11,245
# Your eyes of blue
Your kisses too #
62
00:06:11,329 --> 00:06:14,123
# I never knew what they could do #
63
00:06:14,207 --> 00:06:19,420
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
64
00:06:19,963 --> 00:06:23,132
# You're telling everyone you know #
65
00:06:23,216 --> 00:06:26,343
# That I'm on your mind each place you go #
66
00:06:26,428 --> 00:06:31,223
# They can't believe
That you're in love with me #
67
00:06:32,392 --> 00:06:38,189
# I have always placed you far above me #
68
00:06:38,273 --> 00:06:43,778
# I just can't imagine that you love me #
69
00:06:43,862 --> 00:06:47,073
# And after all is said and done #
70
00:06:47,157 --> 00:06:50,284
# To think that I'm the lucky one #
71
00:06:50,368 --> 00:06:55,748
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
72
00:07:02,631 --> 00:07:04,715
[Al narrating] It wasn't much of a club, really.
73
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,300
You know the kind.
74
00:07:06,384 --> 00:07:08,385
A joint where you could have a sandwich
and a few drinks,
75
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:11,055
and run interference for your girl
on the dance floor.
76
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:15,101
- [playing romantic melody]
- I fronted the piano in there every night
77
00:07:15,185 --> 00:07:17,311
from 8:00 until the place closed up,
78
00:07:17,395 --> 00:07:19,563
which usually meant 4:00 in the morning.
79
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:22,066
A good job as jobs went in those days.
80
00:07:25,487 --> 00:07:28,739
Then, too, there was Sue,
81
00:07:28,824 --> 00:07:31,784
who made working there
a little like working in heaven.
82
00:07:32,244 --> 00:07:36,372
But how we felt about each other, well,
there was nothing very unusual in that.
83
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:39,834
I was an ordinary healthy guy,
and she was an ordinary healthy girl,
84
00:07:39,918 --> 00:07:43,170
and when you add those two together,
you get an ordinary healthy romance,
85
00:07:43,255 --> 00:07:44,672
which is the old story.
86
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:49,426
Sure. But somehow
the most wonderful thing in the world.
87
00:07:49,511 --> 00:07:51,846
[continues playing, rapidly]
88
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:59,436
All in all, I was a pretty lucky guy.
89
00:08:12,450 --> 00:08:15,494
Mr. Patterewsky, I presume?
It's beautiful.
90
00:08:15,579 --> 00:08:17,663
You're going to make Carnegie Hall yet, Al.
91
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:20,332
Yeah. As a janitor.
92
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:22,251
I'll make my debut in the basement.
93
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:26,005
I don't blame you for being bitter,
darling, but you mustn't give up hope.
94
00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:27,798
- Why, some day...
- Yeah, some day,
95
00:08:27,883 --> 00:08:29,633
if I don't get arthritis first.
96
00:08:29,718 --> 00:08:31,385
In the meantime, let's blow this trap.
97
00:08:31,469 --> 00:08:32,845
[piano lid thuds]
98
00:08:48,737 --> 00:08:49,737
[door closes]
99
00:08:51,323 --> 00:08:53,782
- Like to get something to eat, hon?
- Oh, I don't think so, Al.
100
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:56,911
I lose my appetite working in this fleabag.
101
00:08:56,995 --> 00:08:58,954
- Let's go home.
- Okay.
102
00:08:59,831 --> 00:09:02,416
I can't stand much more of that dump.
103
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:05,211
Did you see that drunk tonight
trying to paw me?
104
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:08,547
- No, what drunk?
- Does it matter what drunk?
105
00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:11,800
Say, what's the matter with you tonight, darling?
106
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:14,511
That's the third time you started
to tell me something and then stopped.
107
00:09:15,305 --> 00:09:17,806
We shouldn't have any secrets
from each other, Sue.
108
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:20,267
Next week, we're gonna make with a ring
and a license. We'll be a team.
109
00:09:20,352 --> 00:09:23,395
Yes, that's right. In the bush league.
110
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,190
- I don't get ya.
- We've been struck out.
111
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:29,276
That's a funny way to talk, darling.
112
00:09:29,361 --> 00:09:31,737
- Don't you wanna marry me?
- Al, look, I love you.
113
00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:34,198
You know I do.
And I want to marry you.
114
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:36,742
- But...?
- But not now.
115
00:09:36,826 --> 00:09:39,286
Only after we've made good.
116
00:09:39,371 --> 00:09:40,996
Sunday I'm going away.
117
00:09:41,706 --> 00:09:43,666
Oh, I know you'll think it's silly.
118
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:46,001
That's why I hesitated to tell you.
119
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:47,795
But I'm going to California.
120
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:50,297
I wanna try my luck in Hollywood.
121
00:09:50,548 --> 00:09:52,758
[Al] That's the most
stupid thing I ever heard of.
122
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:56,387
Don't you know millions of people go out there
every year and wind up polishing cuspidors?
123
00:09:56,471 --> 00:09:57,638
I thought you had better sense.
124
00:09:57,722 --> 00:09:59,598
You sound as if you think
I don't have any talent.
125
00:09:59,683 --> 00:10:02,101
- That has nothing to do with it.
- I'll make out all right.
126
00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:03,936
Maybe. But what about me?
127
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:06,563
Doesn't it mean anything to you
that you're busting up all our plans?
128
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:09,817
- We may not see each other for years?
- It won't be that long.
129
00:10:09,901 --> 00:10:12,111
- I thought you loved me.
- I do.
130
00:10:12,195 --> 00:10:13,737
You know I do.
131
00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:18,325
Well, here we are.
132
00:10:20,787 --> 00:10:21,787
Al...
133
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:25,541
Al, why can't you see my side of it?
134
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:28,294
I'm young. We both are. And...
135
00:10:28,378 --> 00:10:31,005
And we've got all the time in the world
to settle down.
136
00:10:31,715 --> 00:10:33,966
[sighs] Really, darling.
137
00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:37,303
What I'm doing is the only sane thing to do.
138
00:10:37,387 --> 00:10:40,889
[sighs] I... I hate the thought
of being so far away from you.
139
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:44,226
But... But we'll be together again some day.
140
00:10:44,311 --> 00:10:47,563
[sighs] Maybe you'll decide
to come out too, later on.
141
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:49,898
- So long.
- Al.
142
00:10:50,734 --> 00:10:53,068
Aren't you gonna kiss me good night?
143
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,237
Sure, why not?
144
00:10:57,741 --> 00:10:58,991
Good night.
145
00:11:05,248 --> 00:11:07,708
[playing romantic melody]
146
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:34,276
[playing jauntily, jazzy]
147
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:47,164
[changing rhythm, slower]
148
00:12:09,604 --> 00:12:12,231
[changing rhythm, jittery]
149
00:12:18,822 --> 00:12:21,824
[no audible dialogue]
150
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:40,717
[piano playing stops]
151
00:12:40,802 --> 00:12:42,469
- [applause]
- Say, Roberts.
152
00:12:42,554 --> 00:12:45,848
You hit the jackpot this time. Ten bucks.
153
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:47,391
Thanks.
154
00:12:53,481 --> 00:12:56,024
[Al narrating] So when this drunk handed me
a ten-spot after a request,
155
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:57,526
I couldn't get very excited.
156
00:12:57,777 --> 00:13:01,363
What was it, I asked myself?
A piece of paper crawling with germs.
157
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:03,866
Couldn't buy anything I wanted.
158
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:05,242
It couldn't...
159
00:13:08,246 --> 00:13:09,705
Then I thought of something.
160
00:13:33,104 --> 00:13:34,313
Long distance.
161
00:13:34,397 --> 00:13:36,857
I'd like to put a call through to Los Angeles.
162
00:13:36,941 --> 00:13:39,193
Miss Harvey. Sue Harvey.
163
00:13:39,277 --> 00:13:41,069
H-A-R-V-E-Y.
164
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:44,615
The number is CRestview 65723.
165
00:14:04,594 --> 00:14:06,386
- 4.50.
- [coin clatters]
166
00:14:06,471 --> 00:14:08,347
- 4.75.
- [coin clatters]
167
00:14:08,431 --> 00:14:09,431
5.00.
168
00:14:12,477 --> 00:14:15,020
Hello, Sue? This is Al.
169
00:14:15,104 --> 00:14:17,356
Oh, baby, it's great to hear from you too.
170
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,651
What's that? You do?
Oh, me too, darling.
171
00:14:20,735 --> 00:14:23,362
I thought I'd go batty without you.
I just had to...
172
00:14:23,446 --> 00:14:24,446
Huh?
173
00:14:25,406 --> 00:14:27,449
You're workin' as a hash slinger?
174
00:14:27,534 --> 00:14:28,867
Gee, honey, that's tough.
175
00:14:28,952 --> 00:14:32,371
Those guys out in Hollywood don't know
the real thing when it's right in front of them.
176
00:14:32,455 --> 00:14:34,164
You just stick it out, Sue, baby.
177
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:37,417
Keep goin' around to those casting offices.
I'm sure you'll click.
178
00:14:38,002 --> 00:14:40,629
Look, I'll tell you what.
You stay put out there. I'll come to you.
179
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:43,632
No, don't try to stop me. Just expect me.
180
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:46,760
Train? Who knows?
Train, plane, bus, magic carpet.
181
00:14:46,844 --> 00:14:50,430
I'll be there if I have to crawl.
If I have to travel by pogo stick.
182
00:14:50,515 --> 00:14:53,809
And then... let's get married right away.
183
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:59,439
That's the stuff. That's what
I've been wanting to hear you say.
184
00:15:00,525 --> 00:15:03,110
Well, good-bye for now.
185
00:15:04,362 --> 00:15:06,905
I'll be seeing you soon. [kisses]
186
00:15:07,282 --> 00:15:10,492
Yeah. [kisses] Bye.
187
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:18,500
[Al narrating] The only way I could
cross country was to thumb rides,
188
00:15:18,585 --> 00:15:21,587
for even after hocking everything,
I only had enough money to eat.
189
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:24,923
Money. You know what that is.
190
00:15:25,717 --> 00:15:27,551
It's the stuff you never have enough of.
191
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:29,720
Little green things
with George Washington's picture
192
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:33,432
that men slave for,
commit crimes for, die for.
193
00:15:34,183 --> 00:15:36,226
It's the stuff that has caused
more trouble in the world
194
00:15:36,311 --> 00:15:38,186
than anything else we ever invented,
195
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:41,273
simply because there's too little of it.
196
00:15:41,357 --> 00:15:43,442
At least I had too little of it.
197
00:15:43,526 --> 00:15:45,319
So it was me for the thumb.
198
00:16:01,753 --> 00:16:03,170
Ever done any hitchhiking?
199
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:05,881
It's not much fun, believe me.
200
00:16:06,549 --> 00:16:08,842
Oh, yeah,
I know all about how it's an education,
201
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:11,595
and how you get to meet a lot of people,
and all that.
202
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:15,849
But me, from now on
I'll take my education in college,
203
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:20,187
or in P.S. 62, or I'll send $1.98
in stamps for ten easy lessons.
204
00:16:29,447 --> 00:16:33,367
Thumbing rides may save you bus fare,
but it's dangerous.
205
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:37,954
You never know what's in store for you
when you hear the squeal of brakes.
206
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,001
If only I had known what I was getting into
that day in Arizona.
207
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:46,546
Here, throw that in the back seat.
208
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:51,301
Okay, let's go.
Make sure that door's closed.
209
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:53,553
- [door closes]
- [lock clacks]
210
00:17:05,483 --> 00:17:09,319
You know, Emily Post ought to write
a book of rules for guys thumbing rides.
211
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:13,031
Because as it is now you never know
what's right and what's wrong.
212
00:17:13,783 --> 00:17:17,285
We rode along for a little while,
neither one of us saying anything.
213
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:19,538
I was glad of that.
214
00:17:19,622 --> 00:17:22,457
I never know what to say
to strange people driving cars.
215
00:17:23,418 --> 00:17:26,545
And too, you can never tell
if a guy wants to talk.
216
00:17:26,629 --> 00:17:29,631
A lot of rides have been cut short
because of a big mouth.
217
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:34,845
So I kept my mouth shut
until he started opening up.
218
00:17:35,596 --> 00:17:38,473
Hand me that little box
in the compartment, will ya, pal?
219
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:42,936
Hold the wheel, will ya?
220
00:17:44,397 --> 00:17:45,397
[pills rattling]
221
00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:53,029
[glove box closes]
222
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:56,450
- How far are ya going?
- LA.
223
00:17:56,534 --> 00:17:58,577
Well, you're really traveling aren't ya?
224
00:17:58,661 --> 00:18:00,704
Yeah, but I don't expect to make it
for a couple years
225
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:02,372
at the rate I've been promoting rides.
226
00:18:02,457 --> 00:18:03,582
Not much luck, huh?
227
00:18:03,666 --> 00:18:05,459
Sure. All bad.
228
00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:07,753
Not many people stop for a guy these days.
229
00:18:07,837 --> 00:18:09,296
Afraid of a stickup maybe.
230
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:10,505
Ah, you can't blame 'em.
231
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:13,675
- Where ya comin' from?
- New York.
232
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,137
Well, New York. You're in luck this time.
233
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:19,139
I'm goin' all the way.
234
00:18:19,223 --> 00:18:20,807
Right through to Los Angeles.
235
00:18:22,018 --> 00:18:24,102
- You drive a car?
- Sure.
236
00:18:24,187 --> 00:18:26,897
- Whenever you're tired, let me know.
- I'll holler.
237
00:18:28,691 --> 00:18:30,776
I guess at least an hour passed
before I noticed
238
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:32,778
those deep scratches in his right hand.
239
00:18:33,237 --> 00:18:34,696
They were wicked.
240
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:37,532
Three puffy red lines
about a quarter of an inch apart.
241
00:18:38,576 --> 00:18:40,869
He must have seen me looking at them
because he said...
242
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:43,288
Beauties, aren't they?
243
00:18:44,081 --> 00:18:45,957
They're gonna be scars someday.
244
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:49,002
What an animal.
245
00:18:49,086 --> 00:18:51,880
Whatever it was, it must have been
pretty big and vicious to have done that.
246
00:18:52,381 --> 00:18:54,424
Right on both counts, New York.
247
00:18:54,509 --> 00:18:57,636
I was tussling with the most
dangerous animal in the world...
248
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,804
a woman.
249
00:18:59,388 --> 00:19:01,014
She must have been Tarzan's mate.
250
00:19:01,098 --> 00:19:02,766
Looks like you lost the bout.
251
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:04,559
Certainly wasn't a draw.
252
00:19:05,394 --> 00:19:08,313
You know, there ought to be a law
against dames with claws.
253
00:19:08,397 --> 00:19:09,314
Yeah.
254
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:11,483
I tossed her out of the car on her ear.
255
00:19:12,318 --> 00:19:16,655
Was I wrong? Give a lift to a tomato,
you expect her to be nice, don't ya?
256
00:19:16,739 --> 00:19:17,656
Yeah.
257
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:20,242
After all, what kind of dames thumb rides?
258
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:22,577
- Sunday school teachers?
- Yeah.
259
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:25,747
The little witch.
260
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:28,458
She must've thought she was riding
with some fall guy.
261
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:32,337
And me who's been booking horses
around racetracks since I was 20.
262
00:19:33,047 --> 00:19:34,923
[scoffs] I've known a million dames like her.
263
00:19:35,383 --> 00:19:37,217
- Two million.
- Yeah.
264
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:42,138
Stopped the car, opened the door...
265
00:19:42,223 --> 00:19:44,641
"Take it on the Arthur Duffy, sister,"
I told her.
266
00:19:44,725 --> 00:19:48,103
- That's the stuff.
- As I was down on her. [laughs]
267
00:19:48,479 --> 00:19:52,148
But if you wanna see a real scar, brother,
get a load of this.
268
00:19:53,442 --> 00:19:55,026
Wow.
269
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:57,904
- I got that one dueling.
- Dueling?
270
00:19:58,406 --> 00:19:59,865
Yeah. We were just kidding, of course.
271
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:02,450
My dad owned a couple of
Franco-Prussian sabers.
272
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:04,244
Kept 'em on the wall for decorations.
273
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:09,749
One day, another kid and I took 'em down
when the old man wasn't around. Had a duel.
274
00:20:09,834 --> 00:20:11,376
[chuckles]
275
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:13,587
He hit me in the arm, here.
276
00:20:13,671 --> 00:20:15,338
Pretty mean cut.
277
00:20:15,423 --> 00:20:16,965
Infection set in later.
278
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:18,842
Yeah, I can see that.
279
00:20:19,093 --> 00:20:21,428
- Oh, gimme that box again, will ya?
- Yeah.
280
00:20:24,765 --> 00:20:26,099
[pills rattling]
281
00:20:31,355 --> 00:20:32,397
[glove box closes]
282
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:35,525
Pain made me lose my head, I guess.
283
00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:37,694
I began slashing.
284
00:20:37,778 --> 00:20:40,488
Before I knew it,
I put the other kid's eye out.
285
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:43,950
- That was tough.
- Well, it was just an accident, of course.
286
00:20:44,035 --> 00:20:48,413
But you know how kids are. I got scared...
decided I was gonna run away from home.
287
00:20:48,915 --> 00:20:51,958
Old man almost clocked me
when I was packin' my duds.
288
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:56,296
If the bloody rag I had wrapped around my wrist
hadn't caught his attention,
289
00:20:56,380 --> 00:20:58,048
he'd have seen the bundle for sure.
290
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:01,551
But I beat it when he was phoning for a doctor.
291
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:06,598
That was 15, 16 years ago.
I haven't been home since.
292
00:21:10,561 --> 00:21:12,729
Pull in there for a bite of something, huh?
293
00:21:12,813 --> 00:21:14,481
[Al narrating] A bite of something.
294
00:21:14,565 --> 00:21:16,066
Brother, was I hungry.
295
00:21:16,150 --> 00:21:18,401
I hadn't had anything in my stomach for hours.
296
00:21:19,362 --> 00:21:21,404
Yet even with that gnawing
in the pit of my belly,
297
00:21:21,489 --> 00:21:24,324
I didn't want to be in too big a rush
to put on the feed bag.
298
00:21:25,076 --> 00:21:27,827
First, I had to make sure
this guy knew the score.
299
00:21:27,912 --> 00:21:31,247
If I got him down on me,
it was good-bye ticket to Hollywood.
300
00:21:32,083 --> 00:21:33,708
I'll wait out here for you, mister.
301
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:36,753
If it's the money, don't worry about
paying for it. This time it's on me.
302
00:21:36,837 --> 00:21:39,255
- Well, that's white of you, Mr...
- Haskell. Think nothing of it.
303
00:21:39,340 --> 00:21:42,717
You make your first million, maybe you can
do the same for me. Come on, New York.
304
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:44,594
I gotta make the West Coast by Wednesday.
305
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:47,263
There's a horse running at
Santa Anita named Paradisiacal.
306
00:21:47,348 --> 00:21:49,933
- Means dough to me if I'm running.
- We'll make it all right.
307
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:54,688
[Al narrating] He did most of the talking
during the half hour we were in the place.
308
00:21:54,772 --> 00:21:55,772
I ate.
309
00:21:56,857 --> 00:22:01,027
He rambled on about his old man, who he hadn't
heard from since he ran away as a kid,
310
00:22:01,112 --> 00:22:02,946
and how he happened to become a bookie,
311
00:22:03,030 --> 00:22:05,740
and then all about how he got rooked in Miami.
312
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:08,660
One race, 38 grand.
They cleaned out my book.
313
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:11,079
- How do you like that?
- That was tough luck.
314
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:13,164
Yeah, and I'm supposed to be the smart guy.
315
00:22:13,249 --> 00:22:16,543
You just wait. I'm going back to Florida
next season with all kinds of jack.
316
00:22:16,627 --> 00:22:18,586
And you watch those stinkers run for cover.
317
00:22:19,547 --> 00:22:21,965
- Want anything else?
- No, thanks, I've had plenty.
318
00:22:27,638 --> 00:22:29,556
- The check there, sister?
- Mm-hmm.
319
00:22:32,601 --> 00:22:34,519
Oh, just a minute. Your change, sir.
320
00:22:34,603 --> 00:22:37,272
- Keep it, sister.
- Oh, thank you, sir. Call again.
321
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,190
I'll be waitin' outside for you
when you finish work.
322
00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:40,400
[chuckles]
323
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:41,776
Sharp chick, huh?
324
00:22:49,952 --> 00:22:52,912
[Al narrating] I drove all that night
while Haskell slept like a log.
325
00:22:53,581 --> 00:22:56,416
After a while, I began to get sleepy myself.
326
00:22:57,835 --> 00:23:01,671
I was happy though.
Soon I'd be with Sue again.
327
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:03,214
The long trip was practically over,
328
00:23:03,299 --> 00:23:06,009
and there'd be no more hoofing it
down the concrete.
329
00:23:06,761 --> 00:23:08,928
I began to think of the future,
330
00:23:09,013 --> 00:23:12,098
which couldn't have been brighter
if I'd embroidered it with neon lights.
331
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,226
It was nice to think of Sue shooting to the top.
332
00:23:16,437 --> 00:23:20,356
[chuckles] It's amazing what a full belly
can do to your imagination.
333
00:23:20,566 --> 00:23:23,276
[romantic ballad]
334
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:28,156
# Your eyes are blue
Your kisses too #
335
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,577
# I never knew what they could do #
336
00:23:32,661 --> 00:23:39,667
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
337
00:23:41,045 --> 00:23:45,632
# You're telling everyone you know #
338
00:23:45,716 --> 00:23:50,095
# I'm on your mind each place you go #
339
00:23:50,179 --> 00:23:56,017
# I can't believe that you're in love #
340
00:23:56,352 --> 00:24:02,690
# With me #
341
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:12,951
Mr. Haskell.
342
00:24:14,703 --> 00:24:15,703
Mr. Haskell?
343
00:24:18,833 --> 00:24:20,875
Mr. Haskell, wake up! It's raining.
344
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,002
Don't you think we ought to stop
and put up the top?
345
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:33,263
Mr. Haskell, I'm gonna put up the top.
346
00:24:48,154 --> 00:24:50,029
[Al narrating] Until then,
I'd done things my way.
347
00:24:50,531 --> 00:24:52,699
But from then on, something else
stepped in and shunted me off
348
00:24:52,783 --> 00:24:55,535
to a different destination
than the one I had picked for myself.
349
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:58,329
For when I pulled open that door...
350
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:05,170
Mr. Haskell, what's the matter?
Are you hurt?
351
00:25:06,255 --> 00:25:07,547
Are you hurt, Mr. Haskell?
352
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:11,467
[Al narrating]
Start your sermon. I'll listen to it.
353
00:25:12,219 --> 00:25:15,013
But I know what you're gonna hand me
even before you open your mouths.
354
00:25:15,598 --> 00:25:18,016
You're gonna tell me you don't believe
my story of how Haskell died
355
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:21,352
and give me that "don't make me laugh"
expression on your smug faces.
356
00:25:24,815 --> 00:25:26,357
I saw at once he was dead.
357
00:25:26,692 --> 00:25:28,193
And I was in for it.
358
00:25:28,277 --> 00:25:30,111
Who would believe he fell out of the car?
359
00:25:30,196 --> 00:25:31,738
If Haskell came to, which,
of course, he couldn't,
360
00:25:31,822 --> 00:25:34,240
even he would swear
I conked him over the head for his dough.
361
00:25:34,325 --> 00:25:35,491
Yes, I was in for it.
362
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:39,829
Instinct told me to run,
but then I realized it was hopeless.
363
00:25:39,914 --> 00:25:41,998
There were lots of people back down the road
who could identify me.
364
00:25:42,082 --> 00:25:44,000
That gas station guy and the waitress.
365
00:25:44,084 --> 00:25:46,419
I would be in a worse spot then
trying to explain why I beat it.
366
00:25:47,504 --> 00:25:50,381
The next possibility was to sit tight
and tell the truth when the cops came.
367
00:25:50,466 --> 00:25:53,176
But that would be crazy.
They'd laugh at the truth.
368
00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:54,552
And I'd have my head in a noose.
369
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:59,807
So what else was there to do
but hide the body and get away in the car?
370
00:25:59,892 --> 00:26:02,101
I couldn't leave the car there
with him in the gully.
371
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:03,937
That would be like erecting a tombstone.
372
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:35,385
My idea was to cover him with brush,
not to rob him.
373
00:26:35,636 --> 00:26:38,304
But then I remembered that even if
I only drove the car for 100 miles or so,
374
00:26:38,389 --> 00:26:39,722
I would need money for gas.
375
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:44,060
Besides, it was stupid of me
to leave all that money on a dead man.
376
00:26:45,145 --> 00:26:47,188
Not only that,
I'd have to take his driver's license
377
00:26:47,273 --> 00:26:48,690
in case I was stopped for something.
378
00:26:50,901 --> 00:26:52,235
I didn't like to think about it,
379
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,821
but by that time I'd done
just what the police would say I did.
380
00:26:54,905 --> 00:26:57,740
Even if I didn't... My clothes.
381
00:26:58,367 --> 00:27:00,618
The owner of such an expensive car
would never be wearing them.
382
00:27:01,662 --> 00:27:03,246
Some cop might pull me in on suspicion.
383
00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,802
[motorcycle approaches]
384
00:27:28,939 --> 00:27:30,231
Hey, you. This your car?
385
00:27:30,941 --> 00:27:33,943
Don't you know better than to leave a car
with the wheels halfway in the middle of the road?
386
00:27:34,028 --> 00:27:35,403
That's the way accidents happen.
387
00:27:35,612 --> 00:27:38,614
I... I'm sorry, Officer.
I was just putting up my top.
388
00:27:38,699 --> 00:27:41,367
- I didn't think.
- Well, the next time, think.
389
00:27:41,452 --> 00:27:43,911
I'll let you go now,
but watch your step in the future.
390
00:27:43,996 --> 00:27:46,414
I know that it's a lonely stretch,
but cars come by here once in a while.
391
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:49,334
- We have plenty of crack-ups.
- Thanks, Officer.
392
00:28:13,067 --> 00:28:15,777
[Al narrating] I left nothing in the car
that'd give me away as Roberts.
393
00:28:15,861 --> 00:28:18,529
If they found a dead man in the gully now,
it could be me.
394
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:28,122
As I drove off, it was still raining.
395
00:28:29,083 --> 00:28:31,876
The drops streaked
down the windshield like tears.
396
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:36,381
I kept imagining I was being followed,
397
00:28:36,465 --> 00:28:38,341
that I could hear sirens
back in the distance.
398
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,471
Just how long it took to cover the 60-odd
miles to the California state line,
399
00:28:43,555 --> 00:28:44,555
I don't know.
400
00:28:45,057 --> 00:28:46,641
I lost all track of time.
401
00:28:47,351 --> 00:28:51,270
But the rain had stopped and the sun was up
when I pulled up to the inspection station.
402
00:28:55,859 --> 00:28:56,692

- No.

- Any livestock or poultry?
- No.

and driver's license, please.

- Just baggage.

- Are you Charles Haskell Jr.?
- Yes.
411
00:29:23,178 --> 00:29:25,263
Well, remember, if you're employed,
and you stay over 30 days,
412
00:29:25,347 --> 00:29:27,223
you take out California plates.
413
00:29:27,307 --> 00:29:29,517
All right, Officer, but I'll only be
in the state a short while.
414
00:29:31,186 --> 00:29:32,270
Right. You can go now.
415
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:42,113
[Al narrating] I couldn't drive any farther
without some sleep.

Cops or no cops, I knew
I had to hit the hay and hit it hard.

00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,203
I was dead tired.

[knocking continues]
427
00:30:59,358 --> 00:31:00,233
Who's there?
428
00:31:00,317 --> 00:31:02,610
It's the maid. Can I come in and clean?
429
00:31:03,820 --> 00:31:06,322
Later... in a half-hour.
430
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:07,490
All right, sir.
431
00:31:32,057 --> 00:31:33,599
[Al narrating] There was no time to lose.
432
00:31:33,684 --> 00:31:36,227
Every minute I had to be Charles Haskell
was dangerous.
433
00:31:36,311 --> 00:31:38,521
I'd have to be Charles Haskell
until I got to some city
434
00:31:38,605 --> 00:31:40,648
where I could leave the car
and be swallowed up.
435
00:31:46,238 --> 00:31:48,864
That meant driving the car
as far as San Bernardino,
436
00:31:48,949 --> 00:31:50,491
maybe even to Los Angeles.
437
00:31:50,576 --> 00:31:52,451
In a little town, I might be noticed.
438
00:31:52,536 --> 00:31:54,328
But in a city, I should be safe enough.
439
00:31:55,581 --> 00:31:58,666
Then, after I ditched the car,
I could go on to Sue.
440
00:31:59,585 --> 00:32:02,545
But those five minutes at the state line
made me realize
441
00:32:02,629 --> 00:32:05,631
it might be a good idea to find out
a little bit about Mr. Haskell.
442
00:32:06,633 --> 00:32:09,302
Then if anybody asked me questions,
I could give the right answers.
443
00:32:10,345 --> 00:32:13,806
The first thing I found out
was that I had $768.
444
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:17,768
This was a lot of jack, but believe me,
445
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:19,895
it was the kind of money
I'd rather not have.
446
00:32:27,446 --> 00:32:31,115
And then I found out from a letter
Haskell was carting around in his bag
447
00:32:31,199 --> 00:32:33,784
that he wasn't the openhanded,
easygoing big shot
448
00:32:33,869 --> 00:32:36,412
who went around buying dinners
for strange hitchhikers.
449
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:39,832
Before I got done reading it,
I saw him more as a chiseler.
450
00:32:41,209 --> 00:32:43,836
It was written
to his old man in California,
451
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,796
the one he hadn't seen in so many years.
452
00:32:46,590 --> 00:32:51,385
In it, Haskell posed as a salesman...
of hymnals, of all things.
453
00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:54,388
It was easy to see where Haskell expected
454
00:32:54,473 --> 00:32:56,849
to raise a new stake
for his book in Miami...
455
00:32:57,684 --> 00:32:59,143
by rooking his old man.
456
00:33:00,771 --> 00:33:03,689
That was about all I found out
from his effects.
457
00:33:03,774 --> 00:33:04,857
And it was enough.
458
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:09,737
I told myself maybe old man Haskell
was lucky his son kicked off.
459
00:33:10,864 --> 00:33:12,531
He would never know it,
460
00:33:12,616 --> 00:33:16,077
but it saved him from taking a flier
in sacred literature preferred.

[birds chirping]
462
00:33:41,186 --> 00:33:43,979
Near the airport at Desert Center,
I pulled up for water.
463
00:33:45,607 --> 00:33:46,691
There was a woman.
464
00:33:51,321 --> 00:33:53,614
Hey, you. Come on if you want a ride.

00:34:07,587 --> 00:34:08,587
[car hood slams]
466
00:34:39,995 --> 00:34:41,662
How far you goin'?
467
00:34:41,747 --> 00:34:43,122
How far are you going?
468
00:34:43,749 --> 00:34:46,792
[Al narrating] That took me by surprise.
I turned my head to look her over.
469
00:34:47,836 --> 00:34:50,588
She was facing straight ahead,
so I couldn't see her eyes.
470
00:34:51,006 --> 00:34:53,758
But she was young, not more than 24.
471
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:56,844
Man, she looked as if
she'd just been thrown off
472
00:34:56,928 --> 00:34:59,305
the crummiest freight train in the world.
473
00:35:00,140 --> 00:35:02,641
Yet, in spite of this,
I got the impression of beauty.
474
00:35:03,727 --> 00:35:06,020
Not the beauty of a movie actress,
mind you,
475
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,689
or the beauty you dream about
when you're with your wife,
476
00:35:08,774 --> 00:35:10,065
but a natural beauty,
477
00:35:10,567 --> 00:35:13,194
a beauty that's almost homely
because it's so real.
478
00:35:15,363 --> 00:35:17,114
Then, suddenly, she turned to face me.
479
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:20,409
- How far did you say you were going?
- Los Angeles.
480
00:35:20,494 --> 00:35:21,410
LA?
481
00:35:22,287 --> 00:35:25,790
- LA's good enough for me, mister.
- That's what I was afraid of.
482
00:35:25,874 --> 00:35:29,084
- What'd you say?
- Oh, nothing. Just thinking out loud.
483
00:35:29,169 --> 00:35:31,128
People get in trouble for doing that.
484
00:35:32,005 --> 00:35:34,715
- What's your name?
- You can call me Vera, if you like.
485
00:35:35,509 --> 00:35:37,176
- You live in Los Angeles?
- No.
486
00:35:39,054 --> 00:35:41,555
- Where you coming from?
- Oh, back there.

00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,098
- Needles?
- No.
488
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:47,102
Oh, sure. Phoenix.
You look just like a Phoenix girl.

00:35:47,687 --> 00:35:49,855
- Are the girls in Phoenix that bad?
- [chuckles]
490
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:51,774
[Al narrating]
The girl must have been pretty tired
491
00:35:51,858 --> 00:35:54,944
because she fell asleep not 20 minutes
after she stepped into the car.
492
00:35:55,737 --> 00:35:59,782
She lay sprawled out with her head resting
against the far door, like Haskell.
493
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:03,452
I didn't like that part of it much,
but I didn't wake her up.
494
00:36:04,955 --> 00:36:06,872
It wasn't that this girl still worried me.
495
00:36:07,374 --> 00:36:10,376
I'd gotten over that funny feeling
I had when she looked at me,
496
00:36:10,460 --> 00:36:13,003
which I put down
as just my jangled nerves.
497
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:16,590
With her eyes closed
and the tenseness gone out of her,
498
00:36:16,675 --> 00:36:18,133
she seemed harmless enough.
499
00:36:18,885 --> 00:36:21,929
Instead of disliking her,
I began to feel sorry for her.
500
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:25,182
The poor kid probably
had had a rough time of it.
501
00:36:26,476 --> 00:36:27,977
Who was she, anyway?
502
00:36:28,061 --> 00:36:30,479
And why was she going to Los Angeles?
503
00:36:30,564 --> 00:36:32,898
And where'd she come from
in the first place?
504
00:36:32,983 --> 00:36:34,775
The only thing I knew about her
was her name.
505
00:36:35,777 --> 00:36:37,361
Not that it made any difference.
506
00:36:37,445 --> 00:36:39,738
A few hours more and we'd be in Hollywood.
507
00:36:39,823 --> 00:36:42,241
I'd forget where I parked the car
and look up Sue.
508
00:36:43,118 --> 00:36:45,286
This nightmare of being a dead man
would be over.
509
00:36:46,121 --> 00:36:48,831
Who this dame was, well,
it was no business of mine.
510
00:36:48,915 --> 00:36:52,918
Where did you leave his body?
Where did you leave the owner of this car?
511
00:36:53,003 --> 00:36:54,712
You're not fooling anyone.
512
00:36:55,297 --> 00:36:58,173
This buggy belongs to a guy named Haskell.
That's not you, mister.
513
00:36:58,258 --> 00:37:01,343
You're out of your mind. That's my name.
Charles Haskell. I can prove it.
514
00:37:01,428 --> 00:37:03,512
- Here's my driver's license.
- Save yourself the trouble, mister.
515
00:37:03,597 --> 00:37:05,848
Having Haskell's wallet
only makes it worse.
516
00:37:05,932 --> 00:37:08,017
It just so happens
I rode with Charlie Haskell
517
00:37:08,101 --> 00:37:09,685
all the way from Louisiana.
518
00:37:09,769 --> 00:37:11,854
He picked me up outside of Shreveport.
519
00:37:11,938 --> 00:37:13,564
- You rode...
- You heard me.
520
00:37:14,149 --> 00:37:15,983
[Al narrating] Then it all came back to me.
521
00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:18,652
All the talk about dueling
and scars and scratches.
522
00:37:19,613 --> 00:37:21,363
There was no doubt about it.
523
00:37:21,448 --> 00:37:23,949
Vera must be the woman
Haskell had mentioned.
524
00:37:24,034 --> 00:37:25,784
She must have passed me while I slept.
525
00:37:25,869 --> 00:37:28,871
Well? Well, I'm waiting.
526
00:37:28,955 --> 00:37:30,331
My goose was cooked.
527
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:32,082
She had me.
528
00:37:32,876 --> 00:37:34,668
That Haskell guy wasn't dead yet.
529
00:37:35,253 --> 00:37:38,172
He wasn't stretched out stiff and cold
in any Arizona gully.
530
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:41,425
He was sitting right there in the car,
laughing like mad while he haunted me.
531
00:37:43,345 --> 00:37:44,303
Well?
532
00:37:44,387 --> 00:37:47,514
There was nothing I could say.
It was her move.
533
00:37:48,224 --> 00:37:50,142
Vera, whatever her name was.
534
00:37:50,226 --> 00:37:52,478
It was just my luck
picking her up on the road.
535
00:37:53,313 --> 00:37:56,148
It couldn't have been Helen
or Mary or Evelyn or Ruth.
536
00:37:57,025 --> 00:37:59,526
It had to be the very last person
I should ever have met.
537
00:38:00,820 --> 00:38:01,820
That's life.
538
00:38:02,697 --> 00:38:05,491
Whichever way you turn,
fate sticks out a foot to trip you.
539
00:38:11,081 --> 00:38:13,457
I told her everything,
but she didn't believe my story.
540
00:38:13,541 --> 00:38:15,167
I should've saved my breath.
541
00:38:15,251 --> 00:38:17,670
That's the greatest cock-and-bull story
I ever heard.
542
00:38:17,754 --> 00:38:19,380
So he fell out of his car.
543
00:38:19,464 --> 00:38:21,507
Say, who do you think
you're talking to, a hick?
544
00:38:21,591 --> 00:38:23,592
Listen, mister. I've been around.
545
00:38:23,677 --> 00:38:27,054
And I know a wrong guy when I see one.
What'd you do, kiss him with a wrench?
546
00:38:27,138 --> 00:38:29,264
Now wait a minute.
What I told you was true.
547
00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:30,891
You see, that's why I had to do it.
548
00:38:30,976 --> 00:38:33,352
You think I killed him.
Well, the cops would've thought so too.
549
00:38:33,436 --> 00:38:35,187
Yeah, well maybe they still think so.
550
00:38:36,106 --> 00:38:38,482
What makes you so sure
I'll shut up about this?
551
00:38:38,566 --> 00:38:41,318
Vera, I'm innocent.
Give me a break, will you?
552
00:38:42,696 --> 00:38:44,488
It won't do me any good
having you pinched.
553
00:38:44,572 --> 00:38:46,115
The cops are no friends of mine.
554
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:49,076
Now, if there was a reward...
But there isn't.
555
00:38:49,703 --> 00:38:51,912
- Thanks.
- Don't thank me yet.
556
00:38:51,997 --> 00:38:55,332
I'm not through with you by a long shot.
Let's see that roll.
557
00:39:02,090 --> 00:39:03,674
Is that all Haskell had?
558
00:39:03,758 --> 00:39:05,509
- Isn't it enough?
- No, I thought he had more.
559
00:39:05,593 --> 00:39:07,845
Not that I know of. You can search me
if you think I'm holding out on you.
560
00:39:07,929 --> 00:39:09,596
Well, maybe I will at that.
561
00:39:09,681 --> 00:39:11,807
He told me he was gonna bet $3,000
562
00:39:11,891 --> 00:39:14,560
on a horse named Paradisiacal
on Wednesday at Santa Anita.
563
00:39:14,644 --> 00:39:16,979
- He was stringing you along. He meant 300.
- Maybe.
564
00:39:17,063 --> 00:39:20,357
Sure. Three bucks, 300.
He was a piece of cheese, a big blowhard.
565
00:39:20,442 --> 00:39:23,277
Listen, mister. Don't try and tell me
anything about Charlie Haskell.
566
00:39:23,361 --> 00:39:25,279
Remember, I knew him better than you did.
567
00:39:25,363 --> 00:39:28,073
Okay, then you knew he was a four-flusher.
That explains the three-grand bet.
568
00:39:28,158 --> 00:39:30,576
I'm not so sure
he didn't have that three grand.
569
00:39:30,660 --> 00:39:34,121
Why should I believe you?
You got all the earmarks of a cheap crook.
570
00:39:34,205 --> 00:39:35,622
- Now, wait a minute.
- Shut up.
571
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:37,207
You're a cheap crook and you killed him.
572
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:39,418
For two cents,
I'd change my mind and turn you in.
573
00:39:39,502 --> 00:39:40,794
I don't like you!
574
00:39:40,879 --> 00:39:43,338
- All right, all right. Don't get sore.
- I'm not getting sore.
575
00:39:43,423 --> 00:39:45,507
But just remember who's boss around here.
576
00:39:45,592 --> 00:39:47,134
If you shut up
and don't give me any arguments,
577
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:48,677
you'll have nothing to worry about.
578
00:39:48,762 --> 00:39:50,512
But if you act wise, well, mister,
579
00:39:50,597 --> 00:39:53,182
you'll pop into jail so fast
it'll give you the bends.
580
00:39:53,266 --> 00:39:55,059
- I'm not arguing.
- Well, see that you don't.
581
00:39:55,143 --> 00:39:56,477
You know, as crooked as you look,
582
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:59,605
I'd hate to see a fella as young as you
wind up sniffing that perfume
583
00:39:59,689 --> 00:40:01,482
that Arizona hands out free to murderers.
584
00:40:01,566 --> 00:40:03,233
- I'm not a murderer.
- Of course you're not.
585
00:40:03,318 --> 00:40:04,693
Haskell knocked his own head off.
586
00:40:04,778 --> 00:40:06,278
He fell. That's how it happened,
just like I told you.
587
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:08,530
Sure, and then he made you a present
of his belongings.
588
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:10,324
- I explained why...
- Oh, skip it.
589
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:13,118
Doesn't make a difference one way
or another. I'm not a mourner.
590
00:40:13,203 --> 00:40:15,412
I liked Haskell even less than I like you.
591
00:40:15,955 --> 00:40:17,372
Yeah, I saw what you did to him.
592
00:40:17,457 --> 00:40:19,541
- What do you mean?
- Those scratches on his wrists.
593
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:20,959
Sure, I scratched him.
594
00:40:21,961 --> 00:40:23,128
I'll say you did.
595
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:26,673
So your idea was
to drive the car a little way,
596
00:40:26,758 --> 00:40:28,967
maybe into San Bernardino,
and then leave it.
597
00:40:29,052 --> 00:40:30,385
You weren't gonna sell it?
598
00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:33,597
Sell it? You think I'm crazy?
Somebody else's car?
599
00:40:33,681 --> 00:40:36,266
All I wanna do is leave it somewhere
and forget I ever saw it.
600
00:40:36,351 --> 00:40:39,269
Not only don't you have any scruples,
you don't have any brains.
601
00:40:39,354 --> 00:40:42,022
- I don't get you.
- Maybe it's a good thing you met me.
602
00:40:42,107 --> 00:40:44,983
You would of got yourself caught, sure.
Why, you dope.
603
00:40:45,068 --> 00:40:48,362
Don't you know a deserted automobile
always rates an investigation?
604
00:40:48,696 --> 00:40:49,863
Huh?
605
00:40:49,948 --> 00:40:52,783
Look. The cops find a car.
Then they get curious.
606
00:40:52,867 --> 00:40:54,493
They wonder where the owner is.
607
00:40:54,577 --> 00:40:57,996
So, all right, they don't trace Haskell.
They trace you.
608
00:40:58,206 --> 00:40:59,790
I never thought of that.
609
00:40:59,874 --> 00:41:02,626
The only safe way to get rid of the car
is to sell it to a dealer,
610
00:41:02,710 --> 00:41:04,253
get it registered under a new name.
611
00:41:04,754 --> 00:41:06,004
Say, stop at the next store.
612
00:41:06,089 --> 00:41:08,882
I wanna get a bottle and do some shopping
before we hit LA.
613
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:12,219
Okay. Soon as we find a place,
I'll drop you off and pick you up later.
614
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:14,429
Nothin' doin'. You're coming in too.
615
00:41:14,514 --> 00:41:17,349
From now on,
you and I are like the Siamese twins.
616
00:41:17,433 --> 00:41:19,434
Have it your way,
but I don't get the point.
617
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:21,687
The point is I don't want you to get lost.
618
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:23,397
I'm not gonna beat it,
if that's what you're afraid of.
619
00:41:23,481 --> 00:41:24,648
I'll say you're not.
620
00:41:24,732 --> 00:41:27,568
Well, I'm gonna see that you sell this car
so you don't get caught.
621
00:41:27,652 --> 00:41:31,446
Thanks. Of course, your interest
wouldn't be financial, would it?
622
00:41:31,531 --> 00:41:33,699
You wouldn't want
a small percentage of the profits?
623
00:41:34,284 --> 00:41:37,202
Well, now that you insist,
how can I refuse?
624
00:41:37,287 --> 00:41:38,912
A hundred percent'll do.
625
00:41:38,997 --> 00:41:40,873
Fine. I'm relieved.
626
00:41:40,957 --> 00:41:43,208
I thought for a moment
you were gonna take it all.
627
00:41:43,293 --> 00:41:44,710
I don't want to be a hog.
628
00:41:46,588 --> 00:41:48,672
[Al narrating] A few hours later,
we were in Hollywood.
629
00:41:49,090 --> 00:41:51,466
I was recognizing places
Sue had written about.
630
00:41:52,051 --> 00:41:55,012
It struck me that,
far from being at the end of the trip,
631
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:58,098
there was a greater distance between Sue
and me than when I started out.
632
00:41:59,434 --> 00:42:02,060
Vera wasn't kidding
with that Siamese twins crack.
633
00:42:02,687 --> 00:42:06,106
She rented a little apartment
as Mrs. Charles Haskell.
634
00:42:07,025 --> 00:42:10,110
When I objected to this, she explained
that it was on account of the car.
635
00:42:10,612 --> 00:42:12,154
A dealer might think something was funny
636
00:42:12,238 --> 00:42:14,531
if he called and found
we were using different names.
637
00:42:19,704 --> 00:42:21,538
- Home, sweet home.
- Yeah.
638
00:42:22,457 --> 00:42:23,498
Not bad, either.
639
00:42:31,466 --> 00:42:33,842
In case there's any doubt in your mind,
I'll take the bedroom.
640
00:42:34,302 --> 00:42:35,177
Yeah.
641
00:42:36,471 --> 00:42:37,846
Sure is stuffy in here.
642
00:42:45,980 --> 00:42:47,689
- Keep the window shut.
- Okay.
643
00:42:50,026 --> 00:42:53,487
The old crow downstairs said
there's a folding bed behind this door.
644
00:42:59,535 --> 00:43:00,702
You know how to work it?
645
00:43:04,457 --> 00:43:05,540
I invented it.
646
00:43:09,504 --> 00:43:11,630
- Some joint.
- One can't have everything.
647
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,387
I'm first in the bathtub.
648
00:43:19,180 --> 00:43:22,140
I don't know why,
but I figured you would be.
649
00:43:31,985 --> 00:43:35,570
Boy, oh, boy. [sighs]
It sure feels good to be clean again.
650
00:43:36,948 --> 00:43:38,407
I must be ten pounds lighter.
651
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:40,450
You must be.
652
00:43:40,535 --> 00:43:42,077
[saxophone playing]
653
00:43:42,161 --> 00:43:45,372
Well, hitchin' rides isn't exactly the way
you keep your schoolgirl complexion.
654
00:43:49,585 --> 00:43:51,712
I wish that guy with the sax
would give up.
655
00:43:53,089 --> 00:43:54,423
It gets on my nerves.
656
00:43:56,509 --> 00:43:57,509
Forget it.
657
00:44:00,138 --> 00:44:01,179
Have a drink.
658
00:44:02,390 --> 00:44:04,141
Aren't you afraid
I'm gonna take you up on it?
659
00:44:06,269 --> 00:44:08,562
If I didn't wanna give you a drink,
I wouldn't have offered it.
660
00:44:09,731 --> 00:44:12,983
Why be a sorehead, Roberts?
You got yourself into this thing.
661
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:15,902
You should be grateful
I'm not turning you in.
662
00:44:16,904 --> 00:44:19,114
Why, if I wasn't regular,
you'd be in the pen this minute
663
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:22,284
being photographed, fingerprinted,
and being pushed around by the cops.
664
00:44:23,077 --> 00:44:25,620
So cheer up. Get rid of that long puss.
665
00:44:27,874 --> 00:44:29,666
Or is your conscience bothering you?
666
00:44:34,672 --> 00:44:35,505
No.
667
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:37,382
It isn't.
668
00:44:37,467 --> 00:44:39,468
Swell. That's the spirit.
669
00:44:41,012 --> 00:44:43,180
He's dead,
and no moaning around will bring him back.
670
00:44:46,684 --> 00:44:50,312
Anyway, I never could understand this worrying
about something that's over and done with.
671
00:44:50,396 --> 00:44:52,439
Now look, Vera.
For the last time, I didn't kill him.
672
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:53,982
Haskell was a sick man.
673
00:44:54,067 --> 00:44:56,109
Maybe he was dead before he fell
out of the car. I don't know.
674
00:44:56,194 --> 00:44:58,403
Sure, sure. He died of old age.
675
00:44:59,364 --> 00:45:00,364
All right.
676
00:45:01,324 --> 00:45:02,824
So if it'll make you sociable...
677
00:45:04,577 --> 00:45:05,827
you didn't kill him.
678
00:45:16,464 --> 00:45:17,297
Thanks.
679
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:31,186
- We're outta liquor, Roberts.
- Yeah.
680
00:45:32,313 --> 00:45:35,440
Too bad.
I felt like getting tight tonight.
681
00:45:35,525 --> 00:45:37,567
Well, I think you succeeded.
682
00:45:37,652 --> 00:45:40,737
- Am I tight?
- As a prima donna's corset.
683
00:45:40,822 --> 00:45:42,197
- That's good.
- [glass clatters]
684
00:45:42,281 --> 00:45:44,074
I wanted to get tight.
685
00:45:44,158 --> 00:45:46,785
Why? What have you got to get tight about?
686
00:45:46,869 --> 00:45:49,246
Oh, I don't know. A few things.
687
00:45:50,123 --> 00:45:50,956
[Al] Huh.
688
00:45:52,583 --> 00:45:54,042
You should have my worries.
689
00:45:54,127 --> 00:45:56,670
If I had your troubles, I'd stay sober.
690
00:45:56,754 --> 00:45:58,380
And I've got the key to that door.
691
00:46:01,926 --> 00:46:04,678
Yeah. Maybe you're right.
692
00:46:04,762 --> 00:46:06,388
I'm always right.
693
00:46:07,723 --> 00:46:10,183
You know, I don't like your attitude,
Roberts.
694
00:46:10,268 --> 00:46:12,018
Well, there's a lot of things I don't like.
695
00:46:13,479 --> 00:46:14,813
Say...
696
00:46:17,191 --> 00:46:19,276
But life's like a ball game.
697
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,111
You got to take a swing
at whatever comes along
698
00:46:21,195 --> 00:46:23,613
before you wake up
and find it's the ninth inning.
699
00:46:24,532 --> 00:46:25,782
Bet you read that somewhere.
700
00:46:25,867 --> 00:46:29,703
That's the trouble with you, Roberts.
All you do is bellyache.
701
00:46:30,788 --> 00:46:35,500
You could have taken it easy and,
well, try and make the best of things.
702
00:46:35,585 --> 00:46:38,378
But maybe that's what's wrong
with the whole world.
703
00:46:38,463 --> 00:46:40,297
Get the professor.
704
00:46:40,381 --> 00:46:43,133
People knock themselves out
trying to buck fate.
705
00:46:43,217 --> 00:46:46,386
Now take you, for instance.
You're lucky to be alive.
706
00:46:46,471 --> 00:46:49,055
Why, suppose Haskell had pulled open
your door?
707
00:46:49,140 --> 00:46:51,850
You'd be playing a harp now.
Think of that.
708
00:46:53,603 --> 00:46:56,855
You think of it. I'm tired of thinking.
709
00:46:56,939 --> 00:46:59,816
There's plenty of people dying this minute
710
00:46:59,901 --> 00:47:02,402
that would give anything
to trade places with you.
711
00:47:04,363 --> 00:47:05,989
I know what I'm talking about.
712
00:47:07,033 --> 00:47:10,744
I'm not so sure.
At least they know they're done for.
713
00:47:10,828 --> 00:47:13,580
They don't just sweat blood
wondering if they are.
714
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:16,750
Your philosophy stinks, pal.
715
00:47:18,002 --> 00:47:21,796
We all know we're gonna kick off someday.
It's only a question of when.
716
00:47:23,591 --> 00:47:26,551
But what got us on this subject anyway?
717
00:47:26,636 --> 00:47:28,553
We'll be discussing politics next.
718
00:47:29,388 --> 00:47:30,472
Yeah.
719
00:47:32,058 --> 00:47:33,433
Where'd you hide the butts?
720
00:47:34,310 --> 00:47:35,936
On the table, sucker.
721
00:47:43,611 --> 00:47:47,113
[Al narrating] We bored each other with
conversation for a couple of hours longer.
722
00:47:47,198 --> 00:47:50,408
Every five minutes, one of us was wishing
we had another bottle or a radio
723
00:47:50,493 --> 00:47:52,118
or something to read.
724
00:47:53,538 --> 00:47:55,247
Then finally we ran out of chat.
725
00:47:56,207 --> 00:47:57,499
I know it's only eleven o'clock,
726
00:47:57,583 --> 00:48:00,085
but I want to get up early
and make the rounds to the used car lots.
727
00:48:00,169 --> 00:48:03,088
No hurry about that.
We got all the time in the world.
728
00:48:03,172 --> 00:48:05,257
Maybe you have, but if you think
I want to stay cooped up in this place
729
00:48:05,341 --> 00:48:06,925
any longer than I have to, you're batty.
730
00:48:07,009 --> 00:48:10,262
It's not a bad place. Pay plenty
for diggings like this in New York.
731
00:48:10,346 --> 00:48:12,347
I wouldn't like it if it was the Ritz.
732
00:48:12,431 --> 00:48:14,849
[coughs]
733
00:48:16,602 --> 00:48:18,144
Rotten liquor. [coughs]
734
00:48:18,229 --> 00:48:20,981
You got a mean cough.
Ought to do something about it.
735
00:48:21,065 --> 00:48:22,315
I'll be all right.
736
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,817
That's what Camille said.
737
00:48:24,527 --> 00:48:25,652
Who?
738
00:48:25,736 --> 00:48:27,195
Nobody you know.
739
00:48:30,908 --> 00:48:33,368
- Wasn't that the dame that died of consumption?
- Yeah.
740
00:48:34,704 --> 00:48:37,289
Wouldn't it be a break for you
if I did kick off.
741
00:48:37,373 --> 00:48:40,333
You'd be free
with all Haskell's dough and car.
742
00:48:40,418 --> 00:48:42,043
I don't want to see anybody die.
743
00:48:43,212 --> 00:48:44,921
Not even me?
744
00:48:45,006 --> 00:48:48,008
Especially not you. One person died on me.
745
00:48:48,092 --> 00:48:50,510
If you did, well, that's all I need.
746
00:48:52,388 --> 00:48:54,222
You don't like me, do you, Roberts?
747
00:48:55,933 --> 00:48:56,975
Like you?
748
00:48:58,352 --> 00:48:59,769
I love you.
749
00:49:01,022 --> 00:49:02,981
My favorite sport is being kept prisoner.
750
00:49:04,025 --> 00:49:07,485
After we sell the car, you can go to blazes
for all I care, but not until then.
751
00:49:14,910 --> 00:49:16,536
I'm going to bed.
752
00:49:24,962 --> 00:49:26,463
Good night, Roberts.
753
00:49:26,547 --> 00:49:29,549
Don't try and sneak away during the night.
All the doors are locked.
754
00:49:29,634 --> 00:49:33,136
Anyway, if I find you gone in the morning,
I'll notify the police.
755
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:35,889
- They'll pick you up.
- Don't worry. I know when I'm in a spot.
756
00:49:36,974 --> 00:49:40,935
Well, good night. I hope that portable
rack isn't too uncomfortable for you.
757
00:49:41,020 --> 00:49:43,146
Don't lose any sleep over it,
will you, Vera?
758
00:49:44,940 --> 00:49:47,025
[key scratching lock]
759
00:50:20,601 --> 00:50:21,935
[softly] CRestview...
760
00:50:23,813 --> 00:50:29,651
6... 5... 7,
761
00:50:29,735 --> 00:50:32,654
[whispers] 2... 3.
762
00:50:33,948 --> 00:50:35,073
Hello?
763
00:50:36,117 --> 00:50:37,117
Hello!
764
00:50:38,327 --> 00:50:39,411
Hello?
765
00:50:40,579 --> 00:50:41,746
Hello?
766
00:50:48,295 --> 00:50:51,881
No. Not yet, darling.
767
00:50:53,134 --> 00:50:54,509
Tomorrow.
768
00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:56,928
Maybe.
769
00:51:00,391 --> 00:51:01,891
[Al narrating] if this were fiction,
770
00:51:01,976 --> 00:51:05,562
I would fall in love with her, marry her,
and make a respectable woman of her,
771
00:51:05,646 --> 00:51:09,816
or else she'd make some supreme,
class-A sacrifice for me and die.
772
00:51:11,152 --> 00:51:13,361
Sue and I would ball a little
over her grave
773
00:51:13,446 --> 00:51:16,448
and make some crack about
"there's good in all of us."
774
00:51:16,532 --> 00:51:20,160
But Vera, unfortunately,
was just as rotten in the morning
775
00:51:20,244 --> 00:51:21,870
as she'd been the night before.
776
00:51:21,954 --> 00:51:23,455
[knocking]
777
00:51:23,539 --> 00:51:25,415
All right, all right, I'm coming.
778
00:51:25,499 --> 00:51:27,459
[Al] Look, Vera, it's almost noon.
779
00:51:29,003 --> 00:51:31,254
So what?
The dealers will be there all day.
780
00:51:31,338 --> 00:51:34,007
They'll be there all year too, but it
doesn't mean I'm gonna wait that long.
781
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:36,551
Shut up.
You're making noises like a husband.
782
00:51:39,180 --> 00:51:42,932
- Well, do I rate a whistle?
- You sure do, but let's go.
783
00:51:43,017 --> 00:51:46,519
Let's go, let's go. I spend 85 bucks
and two hours preparing bait,
784
00:51:46,604 --> 00:51:48,188
and all you can say is "Let's go."
785
00:51:48,272 --> 00:51:51,274
[sighs] Come on.
786
00:51:56,071 --> 00:51:58,698
We passed a few used car lots
last night down this way.
787
00:51:58,783 --> 00:52:00,784
What do you think
we can get for this heap?
788
00:52:00,868 --> 00:52:04,496
I don't know. Plenty.
You just let me handle everything.
789
00:52:04,580 --> 00:52:06,206
You think we can get $2,000?
790
00:52:06,290 --> 00:52:07,707
I don't know. But don't worry.
791
00:52:07,792 --> 00:52:10,126
I'll squeeze as much
out of this guy as I can.
792
00:52:10,211 --> 00:52:13,296
If I let it go cheap without a fight,
he might think we've stolen the car.
793
00:52:13,380 --> 00:52:17,675
And listen, don't make any slips
and call me Roberts. That'll cook us.
794
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,636
I don't need you to tell me that.
795
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:21,930
You better just sit by
and keep your mouth closed.
796
00:52:22,014 --> 00:52:24,015
Remember, we're both in the soup
if anything happens.
797
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:25,642
Forget it and drive.
798
00:52:25,726 --> 00:52:28,144
You're my wife... Vera Haskell.
799
00:52:28,229 --> 00:52:32,315
Look, after the deal's closed, let's go
back to that place on Hollywood Boulevard
800
00:52:32,399 --> 00:52:33,942
where I saw the fur jacket.
801
00:52:34,026 --> 00:52:35,235
I want to buy it.
802
00:52:35,319 --> 00:52:37,987
After the deal's closed,
I'm saying good-bye to you.
803
00:52:38,072 --> 00:52:41,491
That's right. I forgot.
I guess I'm getting kind of used to you.
804
00:52:42,743 --> 00:52:45,036
Well, that's a habit
you can start breaking.
805
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,455
Let's try this place
in the middle of the block.
806
00:52:53,671 --> 00:52:55,129
Good afternoon. What can I do for you?
807
00:52:55,214 --> 00:52:58,508
- We're interested in selling a car.
- If the price is right.
808
00:53:01,387 --> 00:53:05,473
Well, if it's in good mechanical condition,
it should blue book for about 1,600.
809
00:53:06,475 --> 00:53:07,892
Tony, take a look at this motor.
810
00:53:07,977 --> 00:53:10,228
1,600. Are you kidding?
811
00:53:14,108 --> 00:53:15,900
[car hood opening]
812
00:53:21,448 --> 00:53:23,283
Well, maybe 1,850.
813
00:53:23,367 --> 00:53:26,744
Before I let it go for 1,850, I'll wreck it
and collect the insurance first.
814
00:53:26,829 --> 00:53:27,912
[coughs]
815
00:53:31,375 --> 00:53:33,376
Lady, this motor's seen a lot of driving.
816
00:53:39,925 --> 00:53:43,219
[Al narrating] While the mechanic
inspected the car, we haggled.
817
00:53:43,721 --> 00:53:46,973
At last, when we were all worn out,
we hit a compromise...
818
00:53:47,057 --> 00:53:48,600
his price.
819
00:53:51,896 --> 00:53:53,104
Okay, it's a deal.
820
00:53:53,188 --> 00:53:56,524
- Come in, we'll sign the papers.
- I have the ownership papers here with me.
821
00:53:56,609 --> 00:53:59,319
Look, Vera, in the meantime,
will you clean out the dash compartment?
822
00:53:59,403 --> 00:54:02,196
- There may be some stuff in it.
- All right, darling.
823
00:54:04,325 --> 00:54:06,534
1,850 bucks.
824
00:54:06,619 --> 00:54:08,244
That dirty cr...
825
00:54:15,544 --> 00:54:17,420
- Mm, New York, huh?
- Yeah.
826
00:54:17,504 --> 00:54:20,757
- But you bought the car in Miami?
- Yeah.
827
00:54:20,841 --> 00:54:22,467
Well, now, let's see about the insurance.
828
00:54:22,551 --> 00:54:24,552
We can either have it transferred
or canceled.
829
00:54:24,637 --> 00:54:27,263
Uh, what kind of insurance do you have,
Mr. Haskell?
830
00:54:28,432 --> 00:54:31,559
Well, uh, aren't all the papers there?
831
00:54:33,729 --> 00:54:37,857
I don't see any. Surely you know what type
of insurance you carry on the car.
832
00:54:37,942 --> 00:54:39,442
The name of the company?
833
00:54:40,277 --> 00:54:41,486
Yeah, but, uh...
834
00:54:41,570 --> 00:54:43,321
Well, if you'll just tell me
the name of the company,
835
00:54:43,405 --> 00:54:45,114
I'd be very glad to take care
of all the details.
836
00:54:45,199 --> 00:54:46,324
Well...
837
00:54:46,408 --> 00:54:48,409
- Did you sign the papers yet?
- Not yet.
838
00:54:48,494 --> 00:54:50,536
Well, don't. We're not selling the car.
839
00:54:50,621 --> 00:54:52,538
- Well, wait a minute, Mrs. Haskell...
- Come on, darling.
840
00:54:52,623 --> 00:54:55,917
- What's the matter? Change your mind?
- Yes. I'm sorry. I guess I have.
841
00:54:56,001 --> 00:54:57,377
- But, Vera...
- Let's go.
842
00:55:03,384 --> 00:55:06,636
You got me out of a tight spot, Vera,
but I still don't understand all this.
843
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:09,722
You will in a minute.
I almost threw away a gold mine.
844
00:55:09,807 --> 00:55:13,726
1,850 isn't to be sneezed at. The car
doesn't book for as much as I thought.
845
00:55:13,811 --> 00:55:15,478
We're not selling the car.
846
00:55:15,562 --> 00:55:17,438
You want to keep it?
Now wait a minute, Vera.
847
00:55:17,523 --> 00:55:20,608
You said yourself I wouldn't be safe
until the car was in someone else's name.
848
00:55:20,693 --> 00:55:22,360
I'd like to be free of this mess
when I go.
849
00:55:22,444 --> 00:55:24,612
That's just it, Roberts. You're not going.
850
00:55:25,531 --> 00:55:27,365
- [sighs]
- There's a drive-in at the next corner.
851
00:55:27,449 --> 00:55:30,201
Pull in there and we'll get a bite to eat
and I'll explain.
852
00:55:30,285 --> 00:55:32,453
What is this,
another one of your brilliant ideas?
853
00:55:38,794 --> 00:55:41,671
- Hello. May I take your order?
- Make mine a ham sandwich and coffee.
854
00:55:41,755 --> 00:55:44,340
- And for you, sir?
- Oh, I don't care. The same.
855
00:55:46,510 --> 00:55:47,719
Thank you.
856
00:55:52,224 --> 00:55:55,226
Get this, Vera,
I've been pretty patient so far.
857
00:55:55,310 --> 00:55:57,311
I've done everything you asked me to do,
but no more.
858
00:55:57,396 --> 00:55:59,564
- Shut up.
- You've taken Haskell's money.
859
00:55:59,648 --> 00:56:01,524
And you can have the dough we get
from selling the car,
860
00:56:01,608 --> 00:56:03,192
but you're not gonna keep me a prisoner.
861
00:56:03,277 --> 00:56:05,069
It's a good thing I bought the paper.
Look at that.
862
00:56:05,154 --> 00:56:07,030
- Vera, I'm in no mood...
- Read that.
863
00:56:17,708 --> 00:56:19,292
- No.
- Yes.
864
00:56:19,376 --> 00:56:20,960
- No, I won't do it.
- Yes, you will.
865
00:56:21,045 --> 00:56:23,254
You think I'm crazy.
It's impossible, I tell ya.
866
00:56:24,131 --> 00:56:25,173
Excuse me.
867
00:56:30,637 --> 00:56:32,138
Blow the horn when you're through.
868
00:56:35,350 --> 00:56:38,561
No one could possibly get away with an act
like that. Be wise to me in a minute.
869
00:56:38,645 --> 00:56:39,812
Don't be yellow.
870
00:56:39,897 --> 00:56:42,690
You look enough like him.
The same coloring and the same build.
871
00:56:42,775 --> 00:56:44,358
See how his clothes fit ya?
872
00:56:44,443 --> 00:56:46,235
No kidding. You almost
had me fooled for a while.
873
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:47,528
Oh, grow up, Vera.
874
00:56:47,613 --> 00:56:50,406
Don't you think a father knows his own
son? There must be other relatives.
875
00:56:50,491 --> 00:56:53,326
The father won't have to know ya.
We'll wait till he gives up the ghost.
876
00:56:53,410 --> 00:56:55,411
He's an old geezer
and he won't pull through.
877
00:56:55,496 --> 00:56:59,373
And as far as the relatives are concerned,
they haven't seen you in 15 or 20 years.
878
00:57:00,876 --> 00:57:02,585
- Eat.
- I'm not hungry.
879
00:57:03,253 --> 00:57:06,130
- And I won't do it.
- It's not as tough as it sounds.
880
00:57:06,215 --> 00:57:08,049
Remember, you've got
all kinds of identification...
881
00:57:08,133 --> 00:57:09,133
his car, letters, license...
882
00:57:09,218 --> 00:57:11,761
I could never get away with it.
It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
883
00:57:11,845 --> 00:57:13,888
The old boy has scads of dough.
884
00:57:13,972 --> 00:57:17,141
Look in the paper there. Personal fortune
assessed at over 15 million.
885
00:57:17,226 --> 00:57:18,684
He'll leave plenty, I tell ya.
886
00:57:18,769 --> 00:57:20,937
Maybe he cut off his son.
How do we know?
887
00:57:21,021 --> 00:57:23,606
It's out, Vera.
I won't have anything to do with it.
888
00:57:24,817 --> 00:57:27,068
I think you will.
889
00:57:27,152 --> 00:57:30,696
Look, Vera, I'll do anything
within reason, but not that.
890
00:57:30,781 --> 00:57:32,698
So forget it or find yourself another stooge.
891
00:57:32,783 --> 00:57:34,033
You sap!
892
00:57:34,785 --> 00:57:36,911
You'll be fixed for the rest of your life
as Charlie Haskell.
893
00:57:36,995 --> 00:57:40,081
You can take your inheritance and go away.
No more worrying about the rent.
894
00:57:40,165 --> 00:57:42,291
No sweating, scheming, wondering
where your next meal's coming from!
895
00:57:42,376 --> 00:57:43,417
Think about that, Roberts!
896
00:57:43,502 --> 00:57:46,295
Vera, please. You're talking too loud.
897
00:57:46,713 --> 00:57:49,298
On this I'm splitting 50-50 with you.
Sure, why not?
898
00:57:49,383 --> 00:57:51,050
We're both alike.
Both born in the same gutter.
899
00:57:51,135 --> 00:57:52,301
Now take it easy, Vera.
900
00:57:52,386 --> 00:57:54,637
There's people around here.
You don't know what you're talking...
901
00:57:55,806 --> 00:57:59,684
We'll wait till we read that old man
Haskell's dead. Then you show up.
902
00:57:59,768 --> 00:58:02,061
Like you read in New York
that he was sick.
903
00:58:02,146 --> 00:58:04,772
No! Suppose he doesn't die?
904
00:58:04,857 --> 00:58:06,941
He will. I know he will.
Something tells me.
905
00:58:09,611 --> 00:58:12,405
[Al narrating] But as much as I insisted
I would have no part of her scheme,
906
00:58:12,489 --> 00:58:14,448
Vera was taking it for granted I would.
907
00:58:16,535 --> 00:58:19,954
Neither of us had our mind on the cards
as we played that night.
908
00:58:20,038 --> 00:58:23,207
I knew we were just trying to kill time
between newspaper editions.
909
00:58:24,042 --> 00:58:26,002
This was a deathwatch for Vera.
910
00:58:27,129 --> 00:58:28,713
Maybe it was for me too.
911
00:58:28,797 --> 00:58:32,383
Don't you realize if I'm caught they'll want
to know where I got the car and stuff?
912
00:58:32,467 --> 00:58:35,595
- Then they'll have me on a murder charge.
- If you're smart, you won't get caught.
913
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:37,054
I knock with seven.
914
00:58:37,139 --> 00:58:39,348
And if I'm caught,
don't you realize you'll be out too?
915
00:58:39,808 --> 00:58:42,935
Eighteen points. That gives me 30.
916
00:58:44,188 --> 00:58:45,438
How will I be out?
917
00:58:45,522 --> 00:58:47,982
You'll be out $1,850 we would have gotten
on the car.
918
00:58:48,066 --> 00:58:49,483
Really, Vera, you'd be an awful chump
919
00:58:49,568 --> 00:58:51,569
if you threw away all that dough
on a dizzy long shot.
920
00:58:51,653 --> 00:58:52,904
Let me sell the bus tomorrow.
921
00:58:52,988 --> 00:58:54,655
With the money it'll bring
and what you've already got,
922
00:58:54,740 --> 00:58:56,449
a clever kid like you
can run it up in no time.
923
00:58:56,533 --> 00:58:59,035
- Then we'd both be in the clear.
- I'll be in the clear anyway.
924
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:00,912
Maybe. Maybe.
925
00:59:00,996 --> 00:59:02,580
But if I got caught...
926
00:59:03,540 --> 00:59:06,083
- I'd get good and sore at you, you know.
- You mean you'd squeal?
927
00:59:06,168 --> 00:59:08,377
- Well, no, not squeal exactly...
- Never mind what you meant!
928
00:59:11,048 --> 00:59:14,425
Even if you did tell the cops
I was in on it with you,
929
00:59:14,509 --> 00:59:15,885
what could they do to me?
930
00:59:16,929 --> 00:59:19,347
They might give me the same medicine
they gave you.
931
00:59:19,431 --> 00:59:21,140
- Yeah.
- A rope.
932
00:59:23,644 --> 00:59:25,770
But I'm on my way anyhow.
933
00:59:27,731 --> 00:59:29,732
All they'll be doing will be rushing it.
934
00:59:30,359 --> 00:59:32,818
All right. But think of the 1,850 you'd lose.
935
00:59:32,903 --> 00:59:35,655
You'd kick yourself along the block
if you let that get away from you.
936
00:59:35,739 --> 00:59:38,658
I'll take the chance. Want another drink?
937
00:59:38,742 --> 00:59:41,744
You're being a goon. That's the way
people wind up behind the eight ball.
938
00:59:41,828 --> 00:59:44,330
Once they get a few dollars,
they become greedy and want more.
939
00:59:44,414 --> 00:59:45,706
My, my.
940
00:59:45,791 --> 00:59:46,791
- Caesar.
- Who?
941
00:59:46,875 --> 00:59:49,585
You know, that Roman general?
He got his for being greedy.
942
00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:52,838
He wasn't satisfied.
So the final windup was he took the count.
943
00:59:52,923 --> 00:59:55,299
A couple of days ago you didn't have a dime.
944
00:59:55,384 --> 00:59:58,219
Why, you were so broke
you couldn't pay cash for a postage stamp.
945
00:59:58,303 --> 01:00:01,347
Now you've got almost $700,
with 1,850 in the offing.
946
01:00:01,431 --> 01:00:03,099
Take my advice. Don't try for more.
947
01:00:03,183 --> 01:00:05,768
I'm tired of this game.
Let's have some blackjack.
948
01:00:05,852 --> 01:00:06,686
Play solitaire.
949
01:00:06,770 --> 01:00:09,313
- I will, if that's the way you feel about it.
- That's the way I feel about it.
950
01:00:09,398 --> 01:00:11,607
Getting sore and throwing things
won't help much, Roberts.
951
01:00:11,692 --> 01:00:15,111
I'm merely doing you a favor. I help you out of
a jam by keepin' my mouth shut.
952
01:00:15,195 --> 01:00:18,072
I show you how to make some soft money,
and what thanks do I get?
953
01:00:18,156 --> 01:00:19,156
- Thanks?
- Sure.
954
01:00:19,241 --> 01:00:21,659
Or would you rather I called the cops and told
them you killed a man and stole his money?
955
01:00:21,743 --> 01:00:22,827
- I didn't kill anybody.
- Yes, you did.
956
01:00:22,911 --> 01:00:25,705
- No, I didn't. You know I didn't.
- All right, then.
957
01:00:28,542 --> 01:00:30,251
Suppose I call the cops?
958
01:00:30,335 --> 01:00:32,920
If you're innocent,
what do you got to be scared of?
959
01:00:33,005 --> 01:00:36,590
Okay, call 'em, you mutt. Go ahead and call 'em.
See if I care.
960
01:00:36,675 --> 01:00:39,552
- At least they'll give me a square deal.
- You want me to call 'em?
961
01:00:39,636 --> 01:00:43,597
You heard me. But I'm warning ya.
If I'm pinched, I'll swear you were in on it.
962
01:00:43,682 --> 01:00:46,976
I'll say that you helped me.
If I'm frying, I'll get even with you.
963
01:00:47,060 --> 01:00:48,686
You wouldn't dare. You're chicken!
964
01:00:48,770 --> 01:00:52,815
Yeah? Then try it and see.
Call 'em. Yeah.
965
01:00:53,650 --> 01:00:55,067
Okay, I will.
966
01:00:57,112 --> 01:01:00,489
[dialing]
967
01:01:07,706 --> 01:01:09,915
Information.
968
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,835
I want the number
of the Hollywood police station.
969
01:01:14,713 --> 01:01:16,756
Okay, I got it. Thanks.
970
01:01:17,966 --> 01:01:19,592
[phone hook clicks]
971
01:01:19,676 --> 01:01:21,677
- [dialing]
- Wait a minute, Vera. You wouldn't do that.
972
01:01:21,762 --> 01:01:23,721
Oh, wouldn't I? Give me that
and I'll show you if I would!
973
01:01:23,805 --> 01:01:25,681
Take it easy now. Let's talk this over.
974
01:01:25,766 --> 01:01:27,558
[Al narrating]
This was early in the evening.
975
01:01:27,642 --> 01:01:32,146
And the conversation, while hectic,
was at least pitched low.
976
01:01:32,230 --> 01:01:36,776
But as the minutes passed and more obstacles
to her plan popped into my head,
977
01:01:36,860 --> 01:01:38,486
the air got blue.
978
01:01:38,570 --> 01:01:41,822
Each word coming from our lips
cracked like a whip.
979
01:01:41,907 --> 01:01:45,785
I reminded her that as Charles Haskell
I didn't even know my mother's name,
980
01:01:45,869 --> 01:01:47,578
where I'd gone to school,
981
01:01:47,662 --> 01:01:49,413
the name of my best friend,
982
01:01:49,498 --> 01:01:51,415
whether I had an Aunt Emma or not,
983
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:54,794
my religion, and if I'd ever owned a dog.
984
01:01:54,878 --> 01:01:57,463
I didn't even know
what my middle initial stood for.
985
01:01:57,547 --> 01:02:00,925
I also pointed out that the real Haskell
had a scar on his forearm.
986
01:02:01,510 --> 01:02:03,302
His people never saw that scar.
987
01:02:03,387 --> 01:02:05,596
He told me he ran away
right after putting out the kid's eye.
988
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,140
Yeah, but his father knew he was cut.
There'd have to be some kind of mark.
989
01:02:08,225 --> 01:02:10,434
So what?
990
01:02:10,519 --> 01:02:14,438
The old man's dead or will be.
I hope by tomorrow morning's papers.
991
01:02:14,523 --> 01:02:18,025
Anyway, you could cut yourself
a little, couldn't ya?
992
01:02:19,027 --> 01:02:22,321
Boy, for that kind of dough,
I'd let you cut my leg off.
993
01:02:22,406 --> 01:02:23,989
You're drunk and you're crazy mad, Vera.
994
01:02:24,074 --> 01:02:26,033
Turn me in if you want to,
but I won't get mixed up in this.
995
01:02:26,118 --> 01:02:28,160
Besides, how do we know?
Haskell was such a phony.
996
01:02:28,245 --> 01:02:30,371
Maybe he wasn't the man's son at all.
Maybe he just dreamed it up.
997
01:02:30,455 --> 01:02:35,918
Well, dreaming or not, you won't be dreaming
when the law taps you on the shoulder.
998
01:02:36,002 --> 01:02:39,588
There's a cute little gas chamber
waiting for you, Roberts.
999
01:02:39,673 --> 01:02:43,134
And I hear extradition to Arizona's a cinch.
1000
01:02:43,218 --> 01:02:45,052
Where's that phone?
1001
01:02:45,137 --> 01:02:46,512
- Vera.
- Leave me alone!
1002
01:02:46,596 --> 01:02:50,057
- Vera!
- I wanna phone, call the police.
1003
01:02:50,767 --> 01:02:54,812
I hate you, you stinker.
You leave me alone!
1004
01:02:54,896 --> 01:02:57,106
I'll let you alone when you promise to leave
the phone where it is.
1005
01:02:57,190 --> 01:02:59,150
- You're drunk. You don't know what you're doing.
- You're hurting me.
1006
01:02:59,234 --> 01:03:00,860
Will you promise?
1007
01:03:00,944 --> 01:03:02,528
All right.
1008
01:03:07,492 --> 01:03:10,327
- You hurt me.
- I'm sorry, but...
1009
01:03:10,412 --> 01:03:13,372
- And it's hot in here! Open up a window!
- It's not hot!
1010
01:03:13,457 --> 01:03:16,125
Don't tell me!
Now do you do it or do I do it?
1011
01:03:18,086 --> 01:03:19,837
You're no gentleman, see?
1012
01:03:19,921 --> 01:03:23,299
Yeah. All right, I'll open up the window.
1013
01:03:26,428 --> 01:03:27,511
Vera!
1014
01:03:31,892 --> 01:03:34,643
Vera, open the door.
Please open the door.
1015
01:03:34,728 --> 01:03:36,854
Vera, open the door.
Don't use the phone. Listen to me.
1016
01:03:37,522 --> 01:03:40,983
I don't like you, Roberts.
You're no gentleman, see?
1017
01:03:41,067 --> 01:03:45,154
You hurt my hand,
and I'm gonna get even with you.
1018
01:03:45,238 --> 01:03:48,407
If you don't open the door,
I'm gonna kick it down, Vera.
1019
01:03:48,492 --> 01:03:51,368
Vera, don't call the cops.
Listen to me, I'll do anything you say.
1020
01:03:52,287 --> 01:03:53,746
Vera, let me in!
1021
01:03:55,207 --> 01:03:56,665
I'll break the phone!
1022
01:04:14,267 --> 01:04:17,269
[grunting]
1023
01:04:22,609 --> 01:04:23,943
Vera.
1024
01:04:34,579 --> 01:04:36,539
[Al narrating] The world is full of skeptics.
1025
01:04:37,290 --> 01:04:39,667
I know. I'm one myself.
1026
01:04:40,669 --> 01:04:43,712
In the Haskell business, how many of you
would believe he fell out of the car?
1027
01:04:43,797 --> 01:04:46,173
And now, after killing Vera
without really meaning to do it,
1028
01:04:46,258 --> 01:04:48,676
how many of you would believe
it wasn't premeditated?
1029
01:04:49,719 --> 01:04:53,264
In a jury room, every last man of you
would go down shouting
1030
01:04:53,348 --> 01:04:56,058
that she had me over a barrel
and my only out was force.
1031
01:04:58,103 --> 01:04:59,728
The room was still.
1032
01:05:00,730 --> 01:05:03,691
So quiet that for a while I'd wondered
if I'd suddenly gone deaf.
1033
01:05:04,484 --> 01:05:06,235
It was pure fear, of course.
1034
01:05:06,319 --> 01:05:08,195
And I was hysterical,
1035
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:09,989
but without making a sound.
1036
01:05:11,324 --> 01:05:14,285
Vera was dead, and I was her murderer.
1037
01:05:15,370 --> 01:05:19,873
Murderer. What an awful word that is.
But I'd become one.
1038
01:05:19,958 --> 01:05:22,042
I'd better not get caught.
1039
01:05:22,127 --> 01:05:24,628
What evidence there was around the place
had to be destroyed.
1040
01:05:24,713 --> 01:05:26,505
And from the looks of things, there was plenty.
1041
01:05:26,590 --> 01:05:28,299
Looking around the room at things we'd bought
1042
01:05:28,383 --> 01:05:30,801
was like looking into the faces of
a hundred people who'd seen us together
1043
01:05:30,885 --> 01:05:32,803
and who remembered me.
1044
01:05:32,887 --> 01:05:35,306
This was the kind of testimony
I couldn't rub out.
1045
01:05:36,808 --> 01:05:38,058
No.
1046
01:05:38,143 --> 01:05:41,312
I could burn clothes and hide bottles
for the next five years.
1047
01:05:41,396 --> 01:05:42,855
There'd always be witnesses.
1048
01:05:42,939 --> 01:05:44,732
The landlady for one.
She could identify me.
1049
01:05:44,816 --> 01:05:46,233
The car dealer, the waitress in the drive-in,
1050
01:05:46,318 --> 01:05:48,819
the girl in the dress shop,
and that guy in the liquor store.
1051
01:05:48,903 --> 01:05:50,696
They could all identify me.
1052
01:05:52,032 --> 01:05:55,868
I was cooked. Done for.
I had to get out of there.
1053
01:05:57,203 --> 01:05:59,330
While once I remained beside a dead body
1054
01:05:59,414 --> 01:06:02,416
planning carefully how to avoid
being accused of killing him,
1055
01:06:02,500 --> 01:06:04,752
this time I couldn't.
1056
01:06:04,836 --> 01:06:06,503
This time I was guilty.
1057
01:06:07,422 --> 01:06:09,923
I knew it. Felt it.
1058
01:06:10,967 --> 01:06:13,218
I was like a guy suffering from shock.
1059
01:06:13,303 --> 01:06:14,970
Things were whirling around in my head.
1060
01:06:15,055 --> 01:06:17,890
I couldn't make myself think right.
1061
01:06:17,974 --> 01:06:21,435
All I could think of was the guy with
the saxophone and what he was playing.
1062
01:06:22,437 --> 01:06:24,021
It wasn't a love song anymore.
1063
01:06:24,814 --> 01:06:26,565
It was a dirge.

[jukebox: up-tempo band music]

[Al narrating]
But my problems weren't solved.
1066
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:19,493
I had to stay away from New York
for all time.
1067
01:07:20,328 --> 01:07:23,622
Because Al Roberts was listed as dead
and had to stay dead.
1068
01:07:24,332 --> 01:07:25,999
And I could never go back to Hollywood.
1069
01:07:26,835 --> 01:07:28,794
Someone might recognize me as Haskell.
1070
01:07:30,130 --> 01:07:33,048
- Then, too, there was Sue.
- [music stops]
1071
01:07:34,467 --> 01:07:37,803
I could never go to her with a thing
like this hanging over my head.
1072
01:07:39,180 --> 01:07:42,474
All I could do was pray she'd be happy.
1073
01:07:53,486 --> 01:07:57,656
I was in Bakersfield before I read
that Vera's body was discovered.
1074
01:07:57,741 --> 01:08:01,368
And that the police were looking for Haskell
in connection with his wife's murder.
1075
01:08:02,871 --> 01:08:04,413
Isn't that a laugh?
1076
01:08:05,081 --> 01:08:09,001
Haskell got me into this mess
and Haskell was getting me out of it.
1077
01:08:09,085 --> 01:08:11,170
The police were searching for a dead man.
1078
01:08:14,674 --> 01:08:16,884
I keep trying to forget what happened...
1079
01:08:18,261 --> 01:08:22,973
and wonder what my life might have been
if that car of Haskell's hadn't stopped.
1080
01:08:24,768 --> 01:08:26,935
But one thing I don't have to wonder about.
1081
01:08:28,146 --> 01:08:29,605
I know.
1082
01:08:31,107 --> 01:08:34,234
Someday a car will stop to pick me up
that I never thumbed.
1083
01:08:38,990 --> 01:08:39,865
Yes.
1084
01:08:40,742 --> 01:08:44,411
Fate... or some mysterious force
1085
01:08:44,496 --> 01:08:47,414
can put the finger on you or me
1086
01:08:47,499 --> 01:08:49,500
for no good reason at all.

Al Roberts, an unemployed piano player, hitches a ride, arriving at a roadside diner in Reno, Nevada. Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.
Al recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.
In Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.
Al realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.
Al crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.
In Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.
Back at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.
Al gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of "his wife." Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest.

Why was there always that rotten tune?
45
00:04:58,382 --> 00:05:01,175
Following me around, beating in my head,
never letting up.
46
00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:07,181
Did you ever wanna forget anything?
47
00:05:07,599 --> 00:05:10,518
Did you ever wanna cut away
a piece of your memory or blot it out?
48
00:05:10,978 --> 00:05:14,397
You can't, you know?
No matter how hard you try.
49
00:05:14,481 --> 00:05:16,440
You can change the scenery,
50
00:05:16,525 --> 00:05:18,609
but sooner or later
you'll get a whiff of perfume,
51
00:05:18,694 --> 00:05:21,195
or somebody will say a certain phrase
or maybe hum something.
52
00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:23,531
Then you're licked again.
53
00:05:25,575 --> 00:05:27,994
"I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me."
54
00:05:28,078 --> 00:05:29,954
I used to love that song once.
55
00:05:30,038 --> 00:05:33,124
So did the customers back in the old
Break O' Dawn Club in New York.
56
00:05:33,625 --> 00:05:36,711
I can't remember a night when I didn't get
at least three requests for it.
57
00:05:37,504 --> 00:05:40,756
Sue, she was always selling it too.
58
00:05:41,258 --> 00:05:42,550
Those were the days.
59
00:05:42,634 --> 00:05:44,635
[song continues]
60
00:05:48,598 --> 00:05:51,559
[song continues, live combo playing]
61
00:06:07,701 --> 00:06:11,245
# Your eyes of blue
Your kisses too #
62
00:06:11,329 --> 00:06:14,123
# I never knew what they could do #
63
00:06:14,207 --> 00:06:19,420
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
64
00:06:19,963 --> 00:06:23,132
# You're telling everyone you know #
65
00:06:23,216 --> 00:06:26,343
# That I'm on your mind each place you go #
66
00:06:26,428 --> 00:06:31,223
# They can't believe
That you're in love with me #
67
00:06:32,392 --> 00:06:38,189
# I have always placed you far above me #
68
00:06:38,273 --> 00:06:43,778
# I just can't imagine that you love me #
69
00:06:43,862 --> 00:06:47,073
# And after all is said and done #
70
00:06:47,157 --> 00:06:50,284
# To think that I'm the lucky one #
71
00:06:50,368 --> 00:06:55,748
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
72
00:07:02,631 --> 00:07:04,715
[Al narrating] It wasn't much of a club, really.
73
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,300
You know the kind.
74
00:07:06,384 --> 00:07:08,385
A joint where you could have a sandwich
and a few drinks,
75
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:11,055
and run interference for your girl
on the dance floor.
76
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:15,101
- [playing romantic melody]
- I fronted the piano in there every night
77
00:07:15,185 --> 00:07:17,311
from 8:00 until the place closed up,
78
00:07:17,395 --> 00:07:19,563
which usually meant 4:00 in the morning.
79
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:22,066
A good job as jobs went in those days.
80
00:07:25,487 --> 00:07:28,739
Then, too, there was Sue,
81
00:07:28,824 --> 00:07:31,784
who made working there
a little like working in heaven.
82
00:07:32,244 --> 00:07:36,372
But how we felt about each other, well,
there was nothing very unusual in that.
83
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:39,834
I was an ordinary healthy guy,
and she was an ordinary healthy girl,
84
00:07:39,918 --> 00:07:43,170
and when you add those two together,
you get an ordinary healthy romance,
85
00:07:43,255 --> 00:07:44,672
which is the old story.
86
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:49,426
Sure. But somehow
the most wonderful thing in the world.
87
00:07:49,511 --> 00:07:51,846
[continues playing, rapidly]
88
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:59,436
All in all, I was a pretty lucky guy.
89
00:08:12,450 --> 00:08:15,494
Mr. Patterewsky, I presume?
It's beautiful.
90
00:08:15,579 --> 00:08:17,663
You're going to make Carnegie Hall yet, Al.
91
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:20,332
Yeah. As a janitor.
92
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:22,251
I'll make my debut in the basement.
93
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:26,005
I don't blame you for being bitter,
darling, but you mustn't give up hope.
94
00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:27,798
- Why, some day...
- Yeah, some day,
95
00:08:27,883 --> 00:08:29,633
if I don't get arthritis first.
96
00:08:29,718 --> 00:08:31,385
In the meantime, let's blow this trap.
97
00:08:31,469 --> 00:08:32,845
[piano lid thuds]
98
00:08:48,737 --> 00:08:49,737
[door closes]
99
00:08:51,323 --> 00:08:53,782
- Like to get something to eat, hon?
- Oh, I don't think so, Al.
100
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:56,911
I lose my appetite working in this fleabag.
101
00:08:56,995 --> 00:08:58,954
- Let's go home.
- Okay.
102
00:08:59,831 --> 00:09:02,416
I can't stand much more of that dump.
103
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:05,211
Did you see that drunk tonight
trying to paw me?
104
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:08,547
- No, what drunk?
- Does it matter what drunk?
105
00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:11,800
Say, what's the matter with you tonight, darling?
106
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:14,511
That's the third time you started
to tell me something and then stopped.
107
00:09:15,305 --> 00:09:17,806
We shouldn't have any secrets
from each other, Sue.
108
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:20,267
Next week, we're gonna make with a ring
and a license. We'll be a team.
109
00:09:20,352 --> 00:09:23,395
Yes, that's right. In the bush league.
110
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,190
- I don't get ya.
- We've been struck out.
111
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:29,276
That's a funny way to talk, darling.
112
00:09:29,361 --> 00:09:31,737
- Don't you wanna marry me?
- Al, look, I love you.
113
00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:34,198
You know I do.
And I want to marry you.
114
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:36,742
- But...?
- But not now.
115
00:09:36,826 --> 00:09:39,286
Only after we've made good.
116
00:09:39,371 --> 00:09:40,996
Sunday I'm going away.
117
00:09:41,706 --> 00:09:43,666
Oh, I know you'll think it's silly.
118
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:46,001
That's why I hesitated to tell you.
119
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:47,795
But I'm going to California.
120
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:50,297
I wanna try my luck in Hollywood.
121
00:09:50,548 --> 00:09:52,758
[Al] That's the most
stupid thing I ever heard of.
122
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:56,387
Don't you know millions of people go out there
every year and wind up polishing cuspidors?
123
00:09:56,471 --> 00:09:57,638
I thought you had better sense.
124
00:09:57,722 --> 00:09:59,598
You sound as if you think
I don't have any talent.
125
00:09:59,683 --> 00:10:02,101
- That has nothing to do with it.
- I'll make out all right.
126
00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:03,936
Maybe. But what about me?
127
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:06,563
Doesn't it mean anything to you
that you're busting up all our plans?
128
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:09,817
- We may not see each other for years?
- It won't be that long.
129
00:10:09,901 --> 00:10:12,111
- I thought you loved me.
- I do.
130
00:10:12,195 --> 00:10:13,737
You know I do.
131
00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:18,325
Well, here we are.
132
00:10:20,787 --> 00:10:21,787
Al...
133
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:25,541
Al, why can't you see my side of it?
134
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:28,294
I'm young. We both are. And...
135
00:10:28,378 --> 00:10:31,005
And we've got all the time in the world
to settle down.
136
00:10:31,715 --> 00:10:33,966
[sighs] Really, darling.
137
00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:37,303
What I'm doing is the only sane thing to do.
138
00:10:37,387 --> 00:10:40,889
[sighs] I... I hate the thought
of being so far away from you.
139
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:44,226
But... But we'll be together again some day.
140
00:10:44,311 --> 00:10:47,563
[sighs] Maybe you'll decide
to come out too, later on.
141
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:49,898
- So long.
- Al.
142
00:10:50,734 --> 00:10:53,068
Aren't you gonna kiss me good night?
143
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,237
Sure, why not?
144
00:10:57,741 --> 00:10:58,991
Good night.
145
00:11:05,248 --> 00:11:07,708
[playing romantic melody]
146
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:34,276
[playing jauntily, jazzy]
147
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:47,164
[changing rhythm, slower]
148
00:12:09,604 --> 00:12:12,231
[changing rhythm, jittery]
149
00:12:18,822 --> 00:12:21,824
[no audible dialogue]
150
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:40,717
[piano playing stops]
151
00:12:40,802 --> 00:12:42,469
- [applause]
- Say, Roberts.
152
00:12:42,554 --> 00:12:45,848
You hit the jackpot this time. Ten bucks.
153
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:47,391
Thanks.
154
00:12:53,481 --> 00:12:56,024
[Al narrating] So when this drunk handed me
a ten-spot after a request,
155
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:57,526
I couldn't get very excited.
156
00:12:57,777 --> 00:13:01,363
What was it, I asked myself?
A piece of paper crawling with germs.
157
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:03,866
Couldn't buy anything I wanted.
158
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:05,242
It couldn't...
159
00:13:08,246 --> 00:13:09,705
Then I thought of something.
160
00:13:33,104 --> 00:13:34,313
Long distance.
161
00:13:34,397 --> 00:13:36,857
I'd like to put a call through to Los Angeles.
162
00:13:36,941 --> 00:13:39,193
Miss Harvey. Sue Harvey.
163
00:13:39,277 --> 00:13:41,069
H-A-R-V-E-Y.
164
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:44,615
The number is CRestview 65723.
165
00:14:04,594 --> 00:14:06,386
- 4.50.
- [coin clatters]
166
00:14:06,471 --> 00:14:08,347
- 4.75.
- [coin clatters]
167
00:14:08,431 --> 00:14:09,431
5.00.
168
00:14:12,477 --> 00:14:15,020
Hello, Sue? This is Al.
169
00:14:15,104 --> 00:14:17,356
Oh, baby, it's great to hear from you too.
170
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,651
What's that? You do?
Oh, me too, darling.
171
00:14:20,735 --> 00:14:23,362
I thought I'd go batty without you.
I just had to...
172
00:14:23,446 --> 00:14:24,446
Huh?
173
00:14:25,406 --> 00:14:27,449
You're workin' as a hash slinger?
174
00:14:27,534 --> 00:14:28,867
Gee, honey, that's tough.
175
00:14:28,952 --> 00:14:32,371
Those guys out in Hollywood don't know
the real thing when it's right in front of them.
176
00:14:32,455 --> 00:14:34,164
You just stick it out, Sue, baby.
177
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:37,417
Keep goin' around to those casting offices.
I'm sure you'll click.
178
00:14:38,002 --> 00:14:40,629
Look, I'll tell you what.
You stay put out there. I'll come to you.
179
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:43,632
No, don't try to stop me. Just expect me.
180
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:46,760
Train? Who knows?
Train, plane, bus, magic carpet.
181
00:14:46,844 --> 00:14:50,430
I'll be there if I have to crawl.
If I have to travel by pogo stick.
182
00:14:50,515 --> 00:14:53,809
And then... let's get married right away.
183
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:59,439
That's the stuff. That's what
I've been wanting to hear you say.
184
00:15:00,525 --> 00:15:03,110
Well, good-bye for now.
185
00:15:04,362 --> 00:15:06,905
I'll be seeing you soon. [kisses]
186
00:15:07,282 --> 00:15:10,492
Yeah. [kisses] Bye.
187
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:18,500
[Al narrating] The only way I could
cross country was to thumb rides,
188
00:15:18,585 --> 00:15:21,587
for even after hocking everything,
I only had enough money to eat.
189
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:24,923
Money. You know what that is.
190
00:15:25,717 --> 00:15:27,551
It's the stuff you never have enough of.
191
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:29,720
Little green things
with George Washington's picture
192
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:33,432
that men slave for,
commit crimes for, die for.
193
00:15:34,183 --> 00:15:36,226
It's the stuff that has caused
more trouble in the world
194
00:15:36,311 --> 00:15:38,186
than anything else we ever invented,
195
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:41,273
simply because there's too little of it.
196
00:15:41,357 --> 00:15:43,442
At least I had too little of it.
197
00:15:43,526 --> 00:15:45,319
So it was me for the thumb.
198
00:16:01,753 --> 00:16:03,170
Ever done any hitchhiking?
199
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:05,881
It's not much fun, believe me.
200
00:16:06,549 --> 00:16:08,842
Oh, yeah,
I know all about how it's an education,
201
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:11,595
and how you get to meet a lot of people,
and all that.
202
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:15,849
But me, from now on
I'll take my education in college,
203
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:20,187
or in P.S. 62, or I'll send $1.98
in stamps for ten easy lessons.
204
00:16:29,447 --> 00:16:33,367
Thumbing rides may save you bus fare,
but it's dangerous.
205
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:37,954
You never know what's in store for you
when you hear the squeal of brakes.
206
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,001
If only I had known what I was getting into
that day in Arizona.
207
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:46,546
Here, throw that in the back seat.
208
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:51,301
Okay, let's go.
Make sure that door's closed.
209
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:53,553
- [door closes]
- [lock clacks]
210
00:17:05,483 --> 00:17:09,319
You know, Emily Post ought to write
a book of rules for guys thumbing rides.
211
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:13,031
Because as it is now you never know
what's right and what's wrong.
212
00:17:13,783 --> 00:17:17,285
We rode along for a little while,
neither one of us saying anything.
213
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:19,538
I was glad of that.
214
00:17:19,622 --> 00:17:22,457
I never know what to say
to strange people driving cars.
215
00:17:23,418 --> 00:17:26,545
And too, you can never tell
if a guy wants to talk.
216
00:17:26,629 --> 00:17:29,631
A lot of rides have been cut short
because of a big mouth.
217
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:34,845
So I kept my mouth shut
until he started opening up.
218
00:17:35,596 --> 00:17:38,473
Hand me that little box
in the compartment, will ya, pal?
219
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:42,936
Hold the wheel, will ya?
220
00:17:44,397 --> 00:17:45,397
[pills rattling]
221
00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:53,029
[glove box closes]
222
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:56,450
- How far are ya going?
- LA.
223
00:17:56,534 --> 00:17:58,577
Well, you're really traveling aren't ya?
224
00:17:58,661 --> 00:18:00,704
Yeah, but I don't expect to make it
for a couple years
225
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:02,372
at the rate I've been promoting rides.
226
00:18:02,457 --> 00:18:03,582
Not much luck, huh?
227
00:18:03,666 --> 00:18:05,459
Sure. All bad.
228
00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:07,753
Not many people stop for a guy these days.
229
00:18:07,837 --> 00:18:09,296
Afraid of a stickup maybe.
230
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:10,505
Ah, you can't blame 'em.
231
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:13,675
- Where ya comin' from?
- New York.
232
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,137
Well, New York. You're in luck this time.
233
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:19,139
I'm goin' all the way.
234
00:18:19,223 --> 00:18:20,807
Right through to Los Angeles.
235
00:18:22,018 --> 00:18:24,102
- You drive a car?
- Sure.
236
00:18:24,187 --> 00:18:26,897
- Whenever you're tired, let me know.
- I'll holler.
237
00:18:28,691 --> 00:18:30,776
I guess at least an hour passed
before I noticed
238
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:32,778
those deep scratches in his right hand.
239
00:18:33,237 --> 00:18:34,696
They were wicked.
240
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:37,532
Three puffy red lines
about a quarter of an inch apart.
241
00:18:38,576 --> 00:18:40,869
He must have seen me looking at them
because he said...
242
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:43,288
Beauties, aren't they?
243
00:18:44,081 --> 00:18:45,957
They're gonna be scars someday.
244
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:49,002
What an animal.
245
00:18:49,086 --> 00:18:51,880
Whatever it was, it must have been
pretty big and vicious to have done that.
246
00:18:52,381 --> 00:18:54,424
Right on both counts, New York.
247
00:18:54,509 --> 00:18:57,636
I was tussling with the most
dangerous animal in the world...
248
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,804
a woman.
249
00:18:59,388 --> 00:19:01,014
She must have been Tarzan's mate.
250
00:19:01,098 --> 00:19:02,766
Looks like you lost the bout.
251
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:04,559
Certainly wasn't a draw.
252
00:19:05,394 --> 00:19:08,313
You know, there ought to be a law
against dames with claws.
253
00:19:08,397 --> 00:19:09,314
Yeah.
254
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:11,483
I tossed her out of the car on her ear.
255
00:19:12,318 --> 00:19:16,655
Was I wrong? Give a lift to a tomato,
you expect her to be nice, don't ya?
256
00:19:16,739 --> 00:19:17,656
Yeah.
257
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:20,242
After all, what kind of dames thumb rides?
258
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:22,577
- Sunday school teachers?
- Yeah.
259
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:25,747
The little witch.
260
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:28,458
She must've thought she was riding
with some fall guy.
261
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:32,337
And me who's been booking horses
around racetracks since I was 20.
262
00:19:33,047 --> 00:19:34,923
[scoffs] I've known a million dames like her.
263
00:19:35,383 --> 00:19:37,217
- Two million.
- Yeah.
264
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:42,138
Stopped the car, opened the door...
265
00:19:42,223 --> 00:19:44,641
"Take it on the Arthur Duffy, sister,"
I told her.
266
00:19:44,725 --> 00:19:48,103
- That's the stuff.
- As I was down on her. [laughs]
267
00:19:48,479 --> 00:19:52,148
But if you wanna see a real scar, brother,
get a load of this.
268
00:19:53,442 --> 00:19:55,026
Wow.
269
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:57,904
- I got that one dueling.
- Dueling?
270
00:19:58,406 --> 00:19:59,865
Yeah. We were just kidding, of course.
271
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:02,450
My dad owned a couple of
Franco-Prussian sabers.
272
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:04,244
Kept 'em on the wall for decorations.
273
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:09,749
One day, another kid and I took 'em down
when the old man wasn't around. Had a duel.
274
00:20:09,834 --> 00:20:11,376
[chuckles]
275
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:13,587
He hit me in the arm, here.
276
00:20:13,671 --> 00:20:15,338
Pretty mean cut.
277
00:20:15,423 --> 00:20:16,965
Infection set in later.
278
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:18,842
Yeah, I can see that.
279
00:20:19,093 --> 00:20:21,428
- Oh, gimme that box again, will ya?
- Yeah.
280
00:20:24,765 --> 00:20:26,099
[pills rattling]
281
00:20:31,355 --> 00:20:32,397
[glove box closes]
282
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:35,525
Pain made me lose my head, I guess.
283
00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:37,694
I began slashing.
284
00:20:37,778 --> 00:20:40,488
Before I knew it,
I put the other kid's eye out.
285
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:43,950
- That was tough.
- Well, it was just an accident, of course.
286
00:20:44,035 --> 00:20:48,413
But you know how kids are. I got scared...
decided I was gonna run away from home.
287
00:20:48,915 --> 00:20:51,958
Old man almost clocked me
when I was packin' my duds.
288
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:56,296
If the bloody rag I had wrapped around my wrist
hadn't caught his attention,
289
00:20:56,380 --> 00:20:58,048
he'd have seen the bundle for sure.
290
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:01,551
But I beat it when he was phoning for a doctor.
291
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:06,598
That was 15, 16 years ago.
I haven't been home since.
292
00:21:10,561 --> 00:21:12,729
Pull in there for a bite of something, huh?
293
00:21:12,813 --> 00:21:14,481
[Al narrating] A bite of something.
294
00:21:14,565 --> 00:21:16,066
Brother, was I hungry.
295
00:21:16,150 --> 00:21:18,401
I hadn't had anything in my stomach for hours.
296
00:21:19,362 --> 00:21:21,404
Yet even with that gnawing
in the pit of my belly,
297
00:21:21,489 --> 00:21:24,324
I didn't want to be in too big a rush
to put on the feed bag.
298
00:21:25,076 --> 00:21:27,827
First, I had to make sure
this guy knew the score.
299
00:21:27,912 --> 00:21:31,247
If I got him down on me,
it was good-bye ticket to Hollywood.
300
00:21:32,083 --> 00:21:33,708
I'll wait out here for you, mister.
301
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:36,753
If it's the money, don't worry about
paying for it. This time it's on me.
302
00:21:36,837 --> 00:21:39,255
- Well, that's white of you, Mr...
- Haskell. Think nothing of it.
303
00:21:39,340 --> 00:21:42,717
You make your first million, maybe you can
do the same for me. Come on, New York.
304
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:44,594
I gotta make the West Coast by Wednesday.
305
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:47,263
There's a horse running at
Santa Anita named Paradisiacal.
306
00:21:47,348 --> 00:21:49,933
- Means dough to me if I'm running.
- We'll make it all right.
307
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:54,688
[Al narrating] He did most of the talking
during the half hour we were in the place.
308
00:21:54,772 --> 00:21:55,772
I ate.
309
00:21:56,857 --> 00:22:01,027
He rambled on about his old man, who he hadn't
heard from since he ran away as a kid,
310
00:22:01,112 --> 00:22:02,946
and how he happened to become a bookie,
311
00:22:03,030 --> 00:22:05,740
and then all about how he got rooked in Miami.
312
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:08,660
One race, 38 grand.
They cleaned out my book.
313
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:11,079
- How do you like that?
- That was tough luck.
314
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:13,164
Yeah, and I'm supposed to be the smart guy.
315
00:22:13,249 --> 00:22:16,543
You just wait. I'm going back to Florida
next season with all kinds of jack.
316
00:22:16,627 --> 00:22:18,586
And you watch those stinkers run for cover.
317
00:22:19,547 --> 00:22:21,965
- Want anything else?
- No, thanks, I've had plenty.
318
00:22:27,638 --> 00:22:29,556
- The check there, sister?
- Mm-hmm.
319
00:22:32,601 --> 00:22:34,519
Oh, just a minute. Your change, sir.
320
00:22:34,603 --> 00:22:37,272
- Keep it, sister.
- Oh, thank you, sir. Call again.
321
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,190
I'll be waitin' outside for you
when you finish work.
322
00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:40,400
[chuckles]
323
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:41,776
Sharp chick, huh?
324
00:22:49,952 --> 00:22:52,912
[Al narrating] I drove all that night
while Haskell slept like a log.
325
00:22:53,581 --> 00:22:56,416
After a while, I began to get sleepy myself.
326
00:22:57,835 --> 00:23:01,671
I was happy though.
Soon I'd be with Sue again.
327
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:03,214
The long trip was practically over,
328
00:23:03,299 --> 00:23:06,009
and there'd be no more hoofing it
down the concrete.
329
00:23:06,761 --> 00:23:08,928
I began to think of the future,
330
00:23:09,013 --> 00:23:12,098
which couldn't have been brighter
if I'd embroidered it with neon lights.
331
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,226
It was nice to think of Sue shooting to the top.
332
00:23:16,437 --> 00:23:20,356
[chuckles] It's amazing what a full belly
can do to your imagination.
333
00:23:20,566 --> 00:23:23,276
[romantic ballad]
334
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:28,156
# Your eyes are blue
Your kisses too #
335
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,577
# I never knew what they could do #
336
00:23:32,661 --> 00:23:39,667
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
337
00:23:41,045 --> 00:23:45,632
# You're telling everyone you know #
338
00:23:45,716 --> 00:23:50,095
# I'm on your mind each place you go #
339
00:23:50,179 --> 00:23:56,017
# I can't believe that you're in love #
340
00:23:56,352 --> 00:24:02,690
# With me #
341
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:12,951
Mr. Haskell.
342
00:24:14,703 --> 00:24:15,703
Mr. Haskell?
343
00:24:18,833 --> 00:24:20,875
Mr. Haskell, wake up! It's raining.
344
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,002
Don't you think we ought to stop
and put up the top?
345
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:33,263
Mr. Haskell, I'm gonna put up the top.
346
00:24:48,154 --> 00:24:50,029
[Al narrating] Until then,
I'd done things my way.
347
00:24:50,531 --> 00:24:52,699
But from then on, something else
stepped in and shunted me off
348
00:24:52,783 --> 00:24:55,535
to a different destination
than the one I had picked for myself.
349
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:58,329
For when I pulled open that door...
350
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:05,170
Mr. Haskell, what's the matter?
Are you hurt?
351
00:25:06,255 --> 00:25:07,547
Are you hurt, Mr. Haskell?
352
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:11,467
[Al narrating]
Start your sermon. I'll listen to it.
353
00:25:12,219 --> 00:25:15,013
But I know what you're gonna hand me
even before you open your mouths.
354
00:25:15,598 --> 00:25:18,016
You're gonna tell me you don't believe
my story of how Haskell died
355
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:21,352
and give me that "don't make me laugh"
expression on your smug faces.
356
00:25:24,815 --> 00:25:26,357
I saw at once he was dead.
357
00:25:26,692 --> 00:25:28,193
And I was in for it.
358
00:25:28,277 --> 00:25:30,111
Who would believe he fell out of the car?
359
00:25:30,196 --> 00:25:31,738
If Haskell came to, which,
of course, he couldn't,
360
00:25:31,822 --> 00:25:34,240
even he would swear
I conked him over the head for his dough.
361
00:25:34,325 --> 00:25:35,491
Yes, I was in for it.
362
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:39,829
Instinct told me to run,
but then I realized it was hopeless.
363
00:25:39,914 --> 00:25:41,998
There were lots of people back down the road
who could identify me.
364
00:25:42,082 --> 00:25:44,000
That gas station guy and the waitress.
365
00:25:44,084 --> 00:25:46,419
I would be in a worse spot then
trying to explain why I beat it.
366
00:25:47,504 --> 00:25:50,381
The next possibility was to sit tight
and tell the truth when the cops came.
367
00:25:50,466 --> 00:25:53,176
But that would be crazy.
They'd laugh at the truth.
368
00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:54,552
And I'd have my head in a noose.
369
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:59,807
So what else was there to do
but hide the body and get away in the car?
370
00:25:59,892 --> 00:26:02,101
I couldn't leave the car there
with him in the gully.
371
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:03,937
That would be like erecting a tombstone.
372
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:35,385
My idea was to cover him with brush,
not to rob him.
373
00:26:35,636 --> 00:26:38,304
But then I remembered that even if
I only drove the car for 100 miles or so,
374
00:26:38,389 --> 00:26:39,722
I would need money for gas.
375
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:44,060
Besides, it was stupid of me
to leave all that money on a dead man.
376
00:26:45,145 --> 00:26:47,188
Not only that,
I'd have to take his driver's license
377
00:26:47,273 --> 00:26:48,690
in case I was stopped for something.
378
00:26:50,901 --> 00:26:52,235
I didn't like to think about it,
379
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,821
but by that time I'd done
just what the police would say I did.
380
00:26:54,905 --> 00:26:57,740
Even if I didn't... My clothes.
381
00:26:58,367 --> 00:27:00,618
The owner of such an expensive car
would never be wearing them.
382
00:27:01,662 --> 00:27:03,246
Some cop might pull me in on suspicion.
383
00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,802
[motorcycle approaches]
384
00:27:28,939 --> 00:27:30,231
Hey, you. This your car?
385
00:27:30,941 --> 00:27:33,943
Don't you know better than to leave a car
with the wheels halfway in the middle of the road?
386
00:27:34,028 --> 00:27:35,403
That's the way accidents happen.
387
00:27:35,612 --> 00:27:38,614
I... I'm sorry, Officer.
I was just putting up my top.
388
00:27:38,699 --> 00:27:41,367
- I didn't think.
- Well, the next time, think.
389
00:27:41,452 --> 00:27:43,911
I'll let you go now,
but watch your step in the future.
390
00:27:43,996 --> 00:27:46,414
I know that it's a lonely stretch,
but cars come by here once in a while.
391
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:49,334
- We have plenty of crack-ups.
- Thanks, Officer.
392
00:28:13,067 --> 00:28:15,777
[Al narrating] I left nothing in the car
that'd give me away as Roberts.
393
00:28:15,861 --> 00:28:18,529
If they found a dead man in the gully now,
it could be me.
394
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:28,122
As I drove off, it was still raining.
395
00:28:29,083 --> 00:28:31,876
The drops streaked
down the windshield like tears.
396
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:36,381
I kept imagining I was being followed,
397
00:28:36,465 --> 00:28:38,341
that I could hear sirens
back in the distance.
398
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,471
Just how long it took to cover the 60-odd
miles to the California state line,
399
00:28:43,555 --> 00:28:44,555
I don't know.
400
00:28:45,057 --> 00:28:46,641
I lost all track of time.
401
00:28:47,351 --> 00:28:51,270
But the rain had stopped and the sun was up
when I pulled up to the inspection station.
402
00:28:55,859 --> 00:28:56,692
Hello.
403
00:28:57,653 --> 00:28:59,946
- Carrying any fruits or vegetables?
- No.
404
00:29:00,030 --> 00:29:02,198
- Any livestock or poultry?
- No.
405
00:29:02,282 --> 00:29:03,741
[footsteps approaching]
406
00:29:03,826 --> 00:29:06,202
I'd like to see your registration
and driver's license, please.
407
00:29:10,749 --> 00:29:13,251
- Anything in the baggage compartment?
- Just baggage.
408
00:29:15,212 --> 00:29:18,548
Charles Haskell Jr.
Age 30, brown eyes, dark hair.
409
00:29:18,841 --> 00:29:20,216
Identifying marks, none.
410
00:29:20,884 --> 00:29:23,094
- Are you Charles Haskell Jr.?
- Yes.
411
00:29:23,178 --> 00:29:25,263
Well, remember, if you're employed,
and you stay over 30 days,
412
00:29:25,347 --> 00:29:27,223
you take out California plates.
413
00:29:27,307 --> 00:29:29,517
All right, Officer, but I'll only be
in the state a short while.
414
00:29:31,186 --> 00:29:32,270
Right. You can go now.
415
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:42,113
[Al narrating] I couldn't drive any farther
without some sleep.
416
00:29:42,197 --> 00:29:45,783
Cops or no cops, I knew
I had to hit the hay and hit it hard.
417
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,203
I was dead tired.
418
00:30:20,027 --> 00:30:20,943
No.
419
00:30:21,820 --> 00:30:23,362
No, you can't, Mr. Haskell.
420
00:30:24,323 --> 00:30:25,156
No.
421
00:30:32,706 --> 00:30:35,374
Mr. Haskell, you can't die.
422
00:30:36,502 --> 00:30:39,128
They'll think... They'll think I did it.
423
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:42,173
No, Mr. Haskell.
424
00:30:42,591 --> 00:30:44,717
No, no...
425
00:30:48,722 --> 00:30:49,805
[knocks]
426
00:30:54,019 --> 00:30:55,603
[knocking continues]
427
00:30:59,358 --> 00:31:00,233
Who's there?
428
00:31:00,317 --> 00:31:02,610
It's the maid. Can I come in and clean?
429
00:31:03,820 --> 00:31:06,322
Later... in a half-hour.
430
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:07,490
All right, sir.
431
00:31:32,057 --> 00:31:33,599
[Al narrating] There was no time to lose.
432
00:31:33,684 --> 00:31:36,227
Every minute I had to be Charles Haskell
was dangerous.
433
00:31:36,311 --> 00:31:38,521
I'd have to be Charles Haskell
until I got to some city
434
00:31:38,605 --> 00:31:40,648
where I could leave the car
and be swallowed up.
435
00:31:46,238 --> 00:31:48,864
That meant driving the car
as far as San Bernardino,
436
00:31:48,949 --> 00:31:50,491
maybe even to Los Angeles.
437
00:31:50,576 --> 00:31:52,451
In a little town, I might be noticed.
438
00:31:52,536 --> 00:31:54,328
But in a city, I should be safe enough.
439
00:31:55,581 --> 00:31:58,666
Then, after I ditched the car,
I could go on to Sue.
440
00:31:59,585 --> 00:32:02,545
But those five minutes at the state line
made me realize
441
00:32:02,629 --> 00:32:05,631
it might be a good idea to find out
a little bit about Mr. Haskell.
442
00:32:06,633 --> 00:32:09,302
Then if anybody asked me questions,
I could give the right answers.
443
00:32:10,345 --> 00:32:13,806
The first thing I found out
was that I had $768.
444
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:17,768
This was a lot of jack, but believe me,
445
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:19,895
it was the kind of money
I'd rather not have.
446
00:32:27,446 --> 00:32:31,115
And then I found out from a letter
Haskell was carting around in his bag
447
00:32:31,199 --> 00:32:33,784
that he wasn't the openhanded,
easygoing big shot
448
00:32:33,869 --> 00:32:36,412
who went around buying dinners
for strange hitchhikers.
449
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:39,832
Before I got done reading it,
I saw him more as a chiseler.
450
00:32:41,209 --> 00:32:43,836
It was written
to his old man in California,
451
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,796
the one he hadn't seen in so many years.
452
00:32:46,590 --> 00:32:51,385
In it, Haskell posed as a salesman...
of hymnals, of all things.
453
00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:54,388
It was easy to see where Haskell expected
454
00:32:54,473 --> 00:32:56,849
to raise a new stake
for his book in Miami...
455
00:32:57,684 --> 00:32:59,143
by rooking his old man.
456
00:33:00,771 --> 00:33:03,689
That was about all I found out
from his effects.
457
00:33:03,774 --> 00:33:04,857
And it was enough.
458
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:09,737
I told myself maybe old man Haskell
was lucky his son kicked off.
459
00:33:10,864 --> 00:33:12,531
He would never know it,
460
00:33:12,616 --> 00:33:16,077
but it saved him from taking a flier
in sacred literature preferred.
461
00:33:22,793 --> 00:33:24,377
[birds chirping]
462
00:33:41,186 --> 00:33:43,979
Near the airport at Desert Center,
I pulled up for water.
463
00:33:45,607 --> 00:33:46,691
There was a woman.
464
00:33:51,321 --> 00:33:53,614
Hey, you. Come on if you want a ride.
465
00:34:07,587 --> 00:34:08,587
[car hood slams]
466
00:34:39,995 --> 00:34:41,662
How far you goin'?
467
00:34:41,747 --> 00:34:43,122
How far are you going?
468
00:34:43,749 --> 00:34:46,792
[Al narrating] That took me by surprise.
I turned my head to look her over.
469
00:34:47,836 --> 00:34:50,588
She was facing straight ahead,
so I couldn't see her eyes.
470
00:34:51,006 --> 00:34:53,758
But she was young, not more than 24.
471
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:56,844
Man, she looked as if
she'd just been thrown off
472
00:34:56,928 --> 00:34:59,305
the crummiest freight train in the world.
473
00:35:00,140 --> 00:35:02,641
Yet, in spite of this,
I got the impression of beauty.
474
00:35:03,727 --> 00:35:06,020
Not the beauty of a movie actress,
mind you,
475
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,689
or the beauty you dream about
when you're with your wife,
476
00:35:08,774 --> 00:35:10,065
but a natural beauty,
477
00:35:10,567 --> 00:35:13,194
a beauty that's almost homely
because it's so real.
478
00:35:15,363 --> 00:35:17,114
Then, suddenly, she turned to face me.
479
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:20,409
- How far did you say you were going?
- Los Angeles.
480
00:35:20,494 --> 00:35:21,410
LA?
481
00:35:22,287 --> 00:35:25,790
- LA's good enough for me, mister.
- That's what I was afraid of.
482
00:35:25,874 --> 00:35:29,084
- What'd you say?
- Oh, nothing. Just thinking out loud.
483
00:35:29,169 --> 00:35:31,128
People get in trouble for doing that.
484
00:35:32,005 --> 00:35:34,715
- What's your name?
- You can call me Vera, if you like.
485
00:35:35,509 --> 00:35:37,176
- You live in Los Angeles?
- No.
486
00:35:39,054 --> 00:35:41,555
- Where you coming from?
- Oh, back there.
487
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,098
- Needles?
- No.
488
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:47,102
Oh, sure. Phoenix.
You look just like a Phoenix girl.
489
00:35:47,687 --> 00:35:49,855
- Are the girls in Phoenix that bad?
- [chuckles]
490
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:51,774
[Al narrating]
The girl must have been pretty tired
491
00:35:51,858 --> 00:35:54,944
because she fell asleep not 20 minutes
after she stepped into the car.
492
00:35:55,737 --> 00:35:59,782
She lay sprawled out with her head resting
against the far door, like Haskell.
493
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:03,452
I didn't like that part of it much,
but I didn't wake her up.
494
00:36:04,955 --> 00:36:06,872
It wasn't that this girl still worried me.
495
00:36:07,374 --> 00:36:10,376
I'd gotten over that funny feeling
I had when she looked at me,
496
00:36:10,460 --> 00:36:13,003
which I put down
as just my jangled nerves.
497
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:16,590
With her eyes closed
and the tenseness gone out of her,
498
00:36:16,675 --> 00:36:18,133
she seemed harmless enough.
499
00:36:18,885 --> 00:36:21,929
Instead of disliking her,
I began to feel sorry for her.
500
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:25,182
The poor kid probably
had had a rough time of it.
501
00:36:26,476 --> 00:36:27,977
Who was she, anyway?
502
00:36:28,061 --> 00:36:30,479
And why was she going to Los Angeles?
503
00:36:30,564 --> 00:36:32,898
And where'd she come from
in the first place?
504
00:36:32,983 --> 00:36:34,775
The only thing I knew about her
was her name.
505
00:36:35,777 --> 00:36:37,361
Not that it made any difference.
506
00:36:37,445 --> 00:36:39,738
A few hours more and we'd be in Hollywood.
507
00:36:39,823 --> 00:36:42,241
I'd forget where I parked the car
and look up Sue.
508
00:36:43,118 --> 00:36:45,286
This nightmare of being a dead man
would be over.
509
00:36:46,121 --> 00:36:48,831
Who this dame was, well,
it was no business of mine.
510
00:36:48,915 --> 00:36:52,918
Where did you leave his body?
Where did you leave the owner of this car?
511
00:36:53,003 --> 00:36:54,712
You're not fooling anyone.
512
00:36:55,297 --> 00:36:58,173
This buggy belongs to a guy named Haskell.
That's not you, mister.
513
00:36:58,258 --> 00:37:01,343
You're out of your mind. That's my name.
Charles Haskell. I can prove it.
514
00:37:01,428 --> 00:37:03,512
- Here's my driver's license.
- Save yourself the trouble, mister.
515
00:37:03,597 --> 00:37:05,848
Having Haskell's wallet
only makes it worse.
516
00:37:05,932 --> 00:37:08,017
It just so happens
I rode with Charlie Haskell
517
00:37:08,101 --> 00:37:09,685
all the way from Louisiana.
518
00:37:09,769 --> 00:37:11,854
He picked me up outside of Shreveport.
519
00:37:11,938 --> 00:37:13,564
- You rode...
- You heard me.
520
00:37:14,149 --> 00:37:15,983
[Al narrating] Then it all came back to me.
521
00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:18,652
All the talk about dueling
and scars and scratches.
522
00:37:19,613 --> 00:37:21,363
There was no doubt about it.
523
00:37:21,448 --> 00:37:23,949
Vera must be the woman
Haskell had mentioned.
524
00:37:24,034 --> 00:37:25,784
She must have passed me while I slept.
525
00:37:25,869 --> 00:37:28,871
Well? Well, I'm waiting.
526
00:37:28,955 --> 00:37:30,331
My goose was cooked.
527
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:32,082
She had me.
528
00:37:32,876 --> 00:37:34,668
That Haskell guy wasn't dead yet.
529
00:37:35,253 --> 00:37:38,172
He wasn't stretched out stiff and cold
in any Arizona gully.
530
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:41,425
He was sitting right there in the car,
laughing like mad while he haunted me.
531
00:37:43,345 --> 00:37:44,303
Well?
532
00:37:44,387 --> 00:37:47,514
There was nothing I could say.
It was her move.
533
00:37:48,224 --> 00:37:50,142
Vera, whatever her name was.
534
00:37:50,226 --> 00:37:52,478
It was just my luck
picking her up on the road.
535
00:37:53,313 --> 00:37:56,148
It couldn't have been Helen
or Mary or Evelyn or Ruth.
536
00:37:57,025 --> 00:37:59,526
It had to be the very last person
I should ever have met.
537
00:38:00,820 --> 00:38:01,820
That's life.
538
00:38:02,697 --> 00:38:05,491
Whichever way you turn,
fate sticks out a foot to trip you.
539
00:38:11,081 --> 00:38:13,457
I told her everything,
but she didn't believe my story.
540
00:38:13,541 --> 00:38:15,167
I should've saved my breath.
541
00:38:15,251 --> 00:38:17,670
That's the greatest cock-and-bull story
I ever heard.
542
00:38:17,754 --> 00:38:19,380
So he fell out of his car.
543
00:38:19,464 --> 00:38:21,507
Say, who do you think
you're talking to, a hick?
544
00:38:21,591 --> 00:38:23,592
Listen, mister. I've been around.
545
00:38:23,677 --> 00:38:27,054
And I know a wrong guy when I see one.
What'd you do, kiss him with a wrench?
546
00:38:27,138 --> 00:38:29,264
Now wait a minute.
What I told you was true.
547
00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:30,891
You see, that's why I had to do it.
548
00:38:30,976 --> 00:38:33,352
You think I killed him.
Well, the cops would've thought so too.
549
00:38:33,436 --> 00:38:35,187
Yeah, well maybe they still think so.
550
00:38:36,106 --> 00:38:38,482
What makes you so sure
I'll shut up about this?
551
00:38:38,566 --> 00:38:41,318
Vera, I'm innocent.
Give me a break, will you?
552
00:38:42,696 --> 00:38:44,488
It won't do me any good
having you pinched.
553
00:38:44,572 --> 00:38:46,115
The cops are no friends of mine.
554
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:49,076
Now, if there was a reward...
But there isn't.
555
00:38:49,703 --> 00:38:51,912
- Thanks.
- Don't thank me yet.
556
00:38:51,997 --> 00:38:55,332
I'm not through with you by a long shot.
Let's see that roll.
557
00:39:02,090 --> 00:39:03,674
Is that all Haskell had?
558
00:39:03,758 --> 00:39:05,509
- Isn't it enough?
- No, I thought he had more.
559
00:39:05,593 --> 00:39:07,845
Not that I know of. You can search me
if you think I'm holding out on you.
560
00:39:07,929 --> 00:39:09,596
Well, maybe I will at that.
561
00:39:09,681 --> 00:39:11,807
He told me he was gonna bet $3,000
562
00:39:11,891 --> 00:39:14,560
on a horse named Paradisiacal
on Wednesday at Santa Anita.
563
00:39:14,644 --> 00:39:16,979
- He was stringing you along. He meant 300.
- Maybe.
564
00:39:17,063 --> 00:39:20,357
Sure. Three bucks, 300.
He was a piece of cheese, a big blowhard.
565
00:39:20,442 --> 00:39:23,277
Listen, mister. Don't try and tell me
anything about Charlie Haskell.
566
00:39:23,361 --> 00:39:25,279
Remember, I knew him better than you did.
567
00:39:25,363 --> 00:39:28,073
Okay, then you knew he was a four-flusher.
That explains the three-grand bet.
568
00:39:28,158 --> 00:39:30,576
I'm not so sure
he didn't have that three grand.
569
00:39:30,660 --> 00:39:34,121
Why should I believe you?
You got all the earmarks of a cheap crook.
570
00:39:34,205 --> 00:39:35,622
- Now, wait a minute.
- Shut up.
571
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:37,207
You're a cheap crook and you killed him.
572
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:39,418
For two cents,
I'd change my mind and turn you in.
573
00:39:39,502 --> 00:39:40,794
I don't like you!
574
00:39:40,879 --> 00:39:43,338
- All right, all right. Don't get sore.
- I'm not getting sore.
575
00:39:43,423 --> 00:39:45,507
But just remember who's boss around here.
576
00:39:45,592 --> 00:39:47,134
If you shut up
and don't give me any arguments,
577
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:48,677
you'll have nothing to worry about.
578
00:39:48,762 --> 00:39:50,512
But if you act wise, well, mister,
579
00:39:50,597 --> 00:39:53,182
you'll pop into jail so fast
it'll give you the bends.
580
00:39:53,266 --> 00:39:55,059
- I'm not arguing.
- Well, see that you don't.
581
00:39:55,143 --> 00:39:56,477
You know, as crooked as you look,
582
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:59,605
I'd hate to see a fella as young as you
wind up sniffing that perfume
583
00:39:59,689 --> 00:40:01,482
that Arizona hands out free to murderers.
584
00:40:01,566 --> 00:40:03,233
- I'm not a murderer.
- Of course you're not.
585
00:40:03,318 --> 00:40:04,693
Haskell knocked his own head off.
586
00:40:04,778 --> 00:40:06,278
He fell. That's how it happened,
just like I told you.
587
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:08,530
Sure, and then he made you a present
of his belongings.
588
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:10,324
- I explained why...
- Oh, skip it.
589
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:13,118
Doesn't make a difference one way
or another. I'm not a mourner.
590
00:40:13,203 --> 00:40:15,412
I liked Haskell even less than I like you.
591
00:40:15,955 --> 00:40:17,372
Yeah, I saw what you did to him.
592
00:40:17,457 --> 00:40:19,541
- What do you mean?
- Those scratches on his wrists.
593
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:20,959
Sure, I scratched him.
594
00:40:21,961 --> 00:40:23,128
I'll say you did.
595
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:26,673
So your idea was
to drive the car a little way,
596
00:40:26,758 --> 00:40:28,967
maybe into San Bernardino,
and then leave it.
597
00:40:29,052 --> 00:40:30,385
You weren't gonna sell it?
598
00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:33,597
Sell it? You think I'm crazy?
Somebody else's car?
599
00:40:33,681 --> 00:40:36,266
All I wanna do is leave it somewhere
and forget I ever saw it.
600
00:40:36,351 --> 00:40:39,269
Not only don't you have any scruples,
you don't have any brains.
601
00:40:39,354 --> 00:40:42,022
- I don't get you.
- Maybe it's a good thing you met me.
602
00:40:42,107 --> 00:40:44,983
You would of got yourself caught, sure.
Why, you dope.
603
00:40:45,068 --> 00:40:48,362
Don't you know a deserted automobile
always rates an investigation?
604
00:40:48,696 --> 00:40:49,863
Huh?
605
00:40:49,948 --> 00:40:52,783
Look. The cops find a car.
Then they get curious.
606
00:40:52,867 --> 00:40:54,493
They wonder where the owner is.
607
00:40:54,577 --> 00:40:57,996
So, all right, they don't trace Haskell.
They trace you.
608
00:40:58,206 --> 00:40:59,790
I never thought of that.
609
00:40:59,874 --> 00:41:02,626
The only safe way to get rid of the car
is to sell it to a dealer,
610
00:41:02,710 --> 00:41:04,253
get it registered under a new name.
611
00:41:04,754 --> 00:41:06,004
Say, stop at the next store.
612
00:41:06,089 --> 00:41:08,882
I wanna get a bottle and do some shopping
before we hit LA.
613
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:12,219
Okay. Soon as we find a place,
I'll drop you off and pick you up later.
614
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:14,429
Nothin' doin'. You're coming in too.
615
00:41:14,514 --> 00:41:17,349
From now on,
you and I are like the Siamese twins.
616
00:41:17,433 --> 00:41:19,434
Have it your way,
but I don't get the point.
617
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:21,687
The point is I don't want you to get lost.
618
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:23,397
I'm not gonna beat it,
if that's what you're afraid of.
619
00:41:23,481 --> 00:41:24,648
I'll say you're not.
620
00:41:24,732 --> 00:41:27,568
Well, I'm gonna see that you sell this car
so you don't get caught.
621
00:41:27,652 --> 00:41:31,446
Thanks. Of course, your interest
wouldn't be financial, would it?
622
00:41:31,531 --> 00:41:33,699
You wouldn't want
a small percentage of the profits?
623
00:41:34,284 --> 00:41:37,202
Well, now that you insist,
how can I refuse?
624
00:41:37,287 --> 00:41:38,912
A hundred percent'll do.
625
00:41:38,997 --> 00:41:40,873
Fine. I'm relieved.
626
00:41:40,957 --> 00:41:43,208
I thought for a moment
you were gonna take it all.
627
00:41:43,293 --> 00:41:44,710
I don't want to be a hog.
628
00:41:46,588 --> 00:41:48,672
[Al narrating] A few hours later,
we were in Hollywood.
629
00:41:49,090 --> 00:41:51,466
I was recognizing places
Sue had written about.
630
00:41:52,051 --> 00:41:55,012
It struck me that,
far from being at the end of the trip,
631
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:58,098
there was a greater distance between Sue
and me than when I started out.
632
00:41:59,434 --> 00:42:02,060
Vera wasn't kidding
with that Siamese twins crack.
633
00:42:02,687 --> 00:42:06,106
She rented a little apartment
as Mrs. Charles Haskell.
634
00:42:07,025 --> 00:42:10,110
When I objected to this, she explained
that it was on account of the car.
635
00:42:10,612 --> 00:42:12,154
A dealer might think something was funny
636
00:42:12,238 --> 00:42:14,531
if he called and found
we were using different names.
637
00:42:19,704 --> 00:42:21,538
- Home, sweet home.
- Yeah.
638
00:42:22,457 --> 00:42:23,498
Not bad, either.
639
00:42:31,466 --> 00:42:33,842
In case there's any doubt in your mind,
I'll take the bedroom.
640
00:42:34,302 --> 00:42:35,177
Yeah.
641
00:42:36,471 --> 00:42:37,846
Sure is stuffy in here.
642
00:42:45,980 --> 00:42:47,689
- Keep the window shut.
- Okay.
643
00:42:50,026 --> 00:42:53,487
The old crow downstairs said
there's a folding bed behind this door.
644
00:42:59,535 --> 00:43:00,702
You know how to work it?
645
00:43:04,457 --> 00:43:05,540
I invented it.
646
00:43:09,504 --> 00:43:11,630
- Some joint.
- One can't have everything.
647
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,387
I'm first in the bathtub.
648
00:43:19,180 --> 00:43:22,140
I don't know why,
but I figured you would be.
649
00:43:31,985 --> 00:43:35,570
Boy, oh, boy. [sighs]
It sure feels good to be clean again.
650
00:43:36,948 --> 00:43:38,407
I must be ten pounds lighter.
651
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:40,450
You must be.
652
00:43:40,535 --> 00:43:42,077
[saxophone playing]
653
00:43:42,161 --> 00:43:45,372
Well, hitchin' rides isn't exactly the way
you keep your schoolgirl complexion.
654
00:43:49,585 --> 00:43:51,712
I wish that guy with the sax
would give up.
655
00:43:53,089 --> 00:43:54,423
It gets on my nerves.
656
00:43:56,509 --> 00:43:57,509
Forget it.
657
00:44:00,138 --> 00:44:01,179
Have a drink.
658
00:44:02,390 --> 00:44:04,141
Aren't you afraid
I'm gonna take you up on it?
659
00:44:06,269 --> 00:44:08,562
If I didn't wanna give you a drink,
I wouldn't have offered it.
660
00:44:09,731 --> 00:44:12,983
Why be a sorehead, Roberts?
You got yourself into this thing.
661
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:15,902
You should be grateful
I'm not turning you in.
662
00:44:16,904 --> 00:44:19,114
Why, if I wasn't regular,
you'd be in the pen this minute
663
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:22,284
being photographed, fingerprinted,
and being pushed around by the cops.
664
00:44:23,077 --> 00:44:25,620
So cheer up. Get rid of that long puss.
665
00:44:27,874 --> 00:44:29,666
Or is your conscience bothering you?
666
00:44:34,672 --> 00:44:35,505
No.
667
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:37,382
It isn't.
668
00:44:37,467 --> 00:44:39,468
Swell. That's the spirit.
669
00:44:41,012 --> 00:44:43,180
He's dead,
and no moaning around will bring him back.
670
00:44:46,684 --> 00:44:50,312
Anyway, I never could understand this worrying
about something that's over and done with.
671
00:44:50,396 --> 00:44:52,439
Now look, Vera.
For the last time, I didn't kill him.
672
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:53,982
Haskell was a sick man.
673
00:44:54,067 --> 00:44:56,109
Maybe he was dead before he fell
out of the car. I don't know.
674
00:44:56,194 --> 00:44:58,403
Sure, sure. He died of old age.
675
00:44:59,364 --> 00:45:00,364
All right.
676
00:45:01,324 --> 00:45:02,824
So if it'll make you sociable...
677
00:45:04,577 --> 00:45:05,827
you didn't kill him.
678
00:45:16,464 --> 00:45:17,297
Thanks.
679
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:31,186
- We're outta liquor, Roberts.
- Yeah.
680
00:45:32,313 --> 00:45:35,440
Too bad.
I felt like getting tight tonight.
681
00:45:35,525 --> 00:45:37,567
Well, I think you succeeded.
682
00:45:37,652 --> 00:45:40,737
- Am I tight?
- As a prima donna's corset.
683
00:45:40,822 --> 00:45:42,197
- That's good.
- [glass clatters]
684
00:45:42,281 --> 00:45:44,074
I wanted to get tight.
685
00:45:44,158 --> 00:45:46,785
Why? What have you got to get tight about?
686
00:45:46,869 --> 00:45:49,246
Oh, I don't know. A few things.
687
00:45:50,123 --> 00:45:50,956
[Al] Huh.
688
00:45:52,583 --> 00:45:54,042
You should have my worries.
689
00:45:54,127 --> 00:45:56,670
If I had your troubles, I'd stay sober.
690
00:45:56,754 --> 00:45:58,380
And I've got the key to that door.
691
00:46:01,926 --> 00:46:04,678
Yeah. Maybe you're right.
692
00:46:04,762 --> 00:46:06,388
I'm always right.
693
00:46:07,723 --> 00:46:10,183
You know, I don't like your attitude,
Roberts.
694
00:46:10,268 --> 00:46:12,018
Well, there's a lot of things I don't like.
695
00:46:13,479 --> 00:46:14,813
Say...
696
00:46:17,191 --> 00:46:19,276
But life's like a ball game.
697
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,111
You got to take a swing
at whatever comes along
698
00:46:21,195 --> 00:46:23,613
before you wake up
and find it's the ninth inning.
699
00:46:24,532 --> 00:46:25,782
Bet you read that somewhere.
700
00:46:25,867 --> 00:46:29,703
That's the trouble with you, Roberts.
All you do is bellyache.
701
00:46:30,788 --> 00:46:35,500
You could have taken it easy and,
well, try and make the best of things.
702
00:46:35,585 --> 00:46:38,378
But maybe that's what's wrong
with the whole world.
703
00:46:38,463 --> 00:46:40,297
Get the professor.
704
00:46:40,381 --> 00:46:43,133
People knock themselves out
trying to buck fate.
705
00:46:43,217 --> 00:46:46,386
Now take you, for instance.
You're lucky to be alive.
706
00:46:46,471 --> 00:46:49,055
Why, suppose Haskell had pulled open
your door?
707
00:46:49,140 --> 00:46:51,850
You'd be playing a harp now.
Think of that.
708
00:46:53,603 --> 00:46:56,855
You think of it. I'm tired of thinking.
709
00:46:56,939 --> 00:46:59,816
There's plenty of people dying this minute
710
00:46:59,901 --> 00:47:02,402
that would give anything
to trade places with you.
711
00:47:04,363 --> 00:47:05,989
I know what I'm talking about.
712
00:47:07,033 --> 00:47:10,744
I'm not so sure.
At least they know they're done for.
713
00:47:10,828 --> 00:47:13,580
They don't just sweat blood
wondering if they are.
714
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:16,750
Your philosophy stinks, pal.
715
00:47:18,002 --> 00:47:21,796
We all know we're gonna kick off someday.
It's only a question of when.
716
00:47:23,591 --> 00:47:26,551
But what got us on this subject anyway?
717
00:47:26,636 --> 00:47:28,553
We'll be discussing politics next.
718
00:47:29,388 --> 00:47:30,472
Yeah.
719
00:47:32,058 --> 00:47:33,433
Where'd you hide the butts?
720
00:47:34,310 --> 00:47:35,936
On the table, sucker.
721
00:47:43,611 --> 00:47:47,113
[Al narrating] We bored each other with
conversation for a couple of hours longer.
722
00:47:47,198 --> 00:47:50,408
Every five minutes, one of us was wishing
we had another bottle or a radio
723
00:47:50,493 --> 00:47:52,118
or something to read.
724
00:47:53,538 --> 00:47:55,247
Then finally we ran out of chat.
725
00:47:56,207 --> 00:47:57,499
I know it's only eleven o'clock,
726
00:47:57,583 --> 00:48:00,085
but I want to get up early
and make the rounds to the used car lots.
727
00:48:00,169 --> 00:48:03,088
No hurry about that.
We got all the time in the world.
728
00:48:03,172 --> 00:48:05,257
Maybe you have, but if you think
I want to stay cooped up in this place
729
00:48:05,341 --> 00:48:06,925
any longer than I have to, you're batty.
730
00:48:07,009 --> 00:48:10,262
It's not a bad place. Pay plenty
for diggings like this in New York.
731
00:48:10,346 --> 00:48:12,347
I wouldn't like it if it was the Ritz.
732
00:48:12,431 --> 00:48:14,849
[coughs]
733
00:48:16,602 --> 00:48:18,144
Rotten liquor. [coughs]
734
00:48:18,229 --> 00:48:20,981
You got a mean cough.
Ought to do something about it.
735
00:48:21,065 --> 00:48:22,315
I'll be all right.
736
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,817
That's what Camille said.
737
00:48:24,527 --> 00:48:25,652
Who?
738
00:48:25,736 --> 00:48:27,195
Nobody you know.
739
00:48:30,908 --> 00:48:33,368
- Wasn't that the dame that died of consumption?
- Yeah.
740
00:48:34,704 --> 00:48:37,289
Wouldn't it be a break for you
if I did kick off.
741
00:48:37,373 --> 00:48:40,333
You'd be free
with all Haskell's dough and car.
742
00:48:40,418 --> 00:48:42,043
I don't want to see anybody die.
743
00:48:43,212 --> 00:48:44,921
Not even me?
744
00:48:45,006 --> 00:48:48,008
Especially not you. One person died on me.
745
00:48:48,092 --> 00:48:50,510
If you did, well, that's all I need.
746
00:48:52,388 --> 00:48:54,222
You don't like me, do you, Roberts?
747
00:48:55,933 --> 00:48:56,975
Like you?
748
00:48:58,352 --> 00:48:59,769
I love you.
749
00:49:01,022 --> 00:49:02,981
My favorite sport is being kept prisoner.
750
00:49:04,025 --> 00:49:07,485
After we sell the car, you can go to blazes
for all I care, but not until then.
751
00:49:14,910 --> 00:49:16,536
I'm going to bed.
752
00:49:24,962 --> 00:49:26,463
Good night, Roberts.
753
00:49:26,547 --> 00:49:29,549
Don't try and sneak away during the night.
All the doors are locked.
754
00:49:29,634 --> 00:49:33,136
Anyway, if I find you gone in the morning,
I'll notify the police.
755
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:35,889
- They'll pick you up.
- Don't worry. I know when I'm in a spot.
756
00:49:36,974 --> 00:49:40,935
Well, good night. I hope that portable
rack isn't too uncomfortable for you.
757
00:49:41,020 --> 00:49:43,146
Don't lose any sleep over it,
will you, Vera?
758
00:49:44,940 --> 00:49:47,025
[key scratching lock]
759
00:50:20,601 --> 00:50:21,935
[softly] CRestview...
760
00:50:23,813 --> 00:50:29,651
6... 5... 7,
761
00:50:29,735 --> 00:50:32,654
[whispers] 2... 3.
762
00:50:33,948 --> 00:50:35,073
Hello?
763
00:50:36,117 --> 00:50:37,117
Hello!
764
00:50:38,327 --> 00:50:39,411
Hello?
765
00:50:40,579 --> 00:50:41,746
Hello?
766
00:50:48,295 --> 00:50:51,881
No. Not yet, darling.
767
00:50:53,134 --> 00:50:54,509
Tomorrow.
768
00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:56,928
Maybe.
769
00:51:00,391 --> 00:51:01,891
[Al narrating] if this were fiction,
770
00:51:01,976 --> 00:51:05,562
I would fall in love with her, marry her,
and make a respectable woman of her,
771
00:51:05,646 --> 00:51:09,816
or else she'd make some supreme,
class-A sacrifice for me and die.
772
00:51:11,152 --> 00:51:13,361
Sue and I would ball a little
over her grave
773
00:51:13,446 --> 00:51:16,448
and make some crack about
"there's good in all of us."
774
00:51:16,532 --> 00:51:20,160
But Vera, unfortunately,
was just as rotten in the morning
775
00:51:20,244 --> 00:51:21,870
as she'd been the night before.
776
00:51:21,954 --> 00:51:23,455
[knocking]
777
00:51:23,539 --> 00:51:25,415
All right, all right, I'm coming.
778
00:51:25,499 --> 00:51:27,459
[Al] Look, Vera, it's almost noon.
779
00:51:29,003 --> 00:51:31,254
So what?
The dealers will be there all day.
780
00:51:31,338 --> 00:51:34,007
They'll be there all year too, but it
doesn't mean I'm gonna wait that long.
781
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:36,551
Shut up.
You're making noises like a husband.
782
00:51:39,180 --> 00:51:42,932
- Well, do I rate a whistle?
- You sure do, but let's go.
783
00:51:43,017 --> 00:51:46,519
Let's go, let's go. I spend 85 bucks
and two hours preparing bait,
784
00:51:46,604 --> 00:51:48,188
and all you can say is "Let's go."
785
00:51:48,272 --> 00:51:51,274
[sighs] Come on.
786
00:51:56,071 --> 00:51:58,698
We passed a few used car lots
last night down this way.
787
00:51:58,783 --> 00:52:00,784
What do you think
we can get for this heap?
788
00:52:00,868 --> 00:52:04,496
I don't know. Plenty.
You just let me handle everything.
789
00:52:04,580 --> 00:52:06,206
You think we can get $2,000?
790
00:52:06,290 --> 00:52:07,707
I don't know. But don't worry.
791
00:52:07,792 --> 00:52:10,126
I'll squeeze as much
out of this guy as I can.
792
00:52:10,211 --> 00:52:13,296
If I let it go cheap without a fight,
he might think we've stolen the car.
793
00:52:13,380 --> 00:52:17,675
And listen, don't make any slips
and call me Roberts. That'll cook us.
794
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,636
I don't need you to tell me that.
795
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:21,930
You better just sit by
and keep your mouth closed.
796
00:52:22,014 --> 00:52:24,015
Remember, we're both in the soup
if anything happens.
797
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:25,642
Forget it and drive.
798
00:52:25,726 --> 00:52:28,144
You're my wife... Vera Haskell.
799
00:52:28,229 --> 00:52:32,315
Look, after the deal's closed, let's go
back to that place on Hollywood Boulevard
800
00:52:32,399 --> 00:52:33,942
where I saw the fur jacket.
801
00:52:34,026 --> 00:52:35,235
I want to buy it.
802
00:52:35,319 --> 00:52:37,987
After the deal's closed,
I'm saying good-bye to you.
803
00:52:38,072 --> 00:52:41,491
That's right. I forgot.
I guess I'm getting kind of used to you.
804
00:52:42,743 --> 00:52:45,036
Well, that's a habit
you can start breaking.
805
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,455
Let's try this place
in the middle of the block.
806
00:52:53,671 --> 00:52:55,129
Good afternoon. What can I do for you?
807
00:52:55,214 --> 00:52:58,508
- We're interested in selling a car.
- If the price is right.
808
00:53:01,387 --> 00:53:05,473
Well, if it's in good mechanical condition,
it should blue book for about 1,600.
809
00:53:06,475 --> 00:53:07,892
Tony, take a look at this motor.
810
00:53:07,977 --> 00:53:10,228
1,600. Are you kidding?
811
00:53:14,108 --> 00:53:15,900
[car hood opening]
812
00:53:21,448 --> 00:53:23,283
Well, maybe 1,850.
813
00:53:23,367 --> 00:53:26,744
Before I let it go for 1,850, I'll wreck it
and collect the insurance first.
814
00:53:26,829 --> 00:53:27,912
[coughs]
815
00:53:31,375 --> 00:53:33,376
Lady, this motor's seen a lot of driving.
816
00:53:39,925 --> 00:53:43,219
[Al narrating] While the mechanic
inspected the car, we haggled.
817
00:53:43,721 --> 00:53:46,973
At last, when we were all worn out,
we hit a compromise...
818
00:53:47,057 --> 00:53:48,600
his price.
819
00:53:51,896 --> 00:53:53,104
Okay, it's a deal.
820
00:53:53,188 --> 00:53:56,524
- Come in, we'll sign the papers.
- I have the ownership papers here with me.
821
00:53:56,609 --> 00:53:59,319
Look, Vera, in the meantime,
will you clean out the dash compartment?
822
00:53:59,403 --> 00:54:02,196
- There may be some stuff in it.
- All right, darling.
823
00:54:04,325 --> 00:54:06,534
1,850 bucks.
824
00:54:06,619 --> 00:54:08,244
That dirty cr...
825
00:54:15,544 --> 00:54:17,420
- Mm, New York, huh?
- Yeah.
826
00:54:17,504 --> 00:54:20,757
- But you bought the car in Miami?
- Yeah.
827
00:54:20,841 --> 00:54:22,467
Well, now, let's see about the insurance.
828
00:54:22,551 --> 00:54:24,552
We can either have it transferred
or canceled.
829
00:54:24,637 --> 00:54:27,263
Uh, what kind of insurance do you have,
Mr. Haskell?
830
00:54:28,432 --> 00:54:31,559
Well, uh, aren't all the papers there?
831
00:54:33,729 --> 00:54:37,857
I don't see any. Surely you know what type
of insurance you carry on the car.
832
00:54:37,942 --> 00:54:39,442
The name of the company?
833
00:54:40,277 --> 00:54:41,486
Yeah, but, uh...
834
00:54:41,570 --> 00:54:43,321
Well, if you'll just tell me
the name of the company,
835
00:54:43,405 --> 00:54:45,114
I'd be very glad to take care
of all the details.
836
00:54:45,199 --> 00:54:46,324
Well...
837
00:54:46,408 --> 00:54:48,409
- Did you sign the papers yet?
- Not yet.
838
00:54:48,494 --> 00:54:50,536
Well, don't. We're not selling the car.
839
00:54:50,621 --> 00:54:52,538
- Well, wait a minute, Mrs. Haskell...
- Come on, darling.
840
00:54:52,623 --> 00:54:55,917
- What's the matter? Change your mind?
- Yes. I'm sorry. I guess I have.
841
00:54:56,001 --> 00:54:57,377
- But, Vera...
- Let's go.
842
00:55:03,384 --> 00:55:06,636
You got me out of a tight spot, Vera,
but I still don't understand all this.
843
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:09,722
You will in a minute.
I almost threw away a gold mine.
844
00:55:09,807 --> 00:55:13,726
1,850 isn't to be sneezed at. The car
doesn't book for as much as I thought.
845
00:55:13,811 --> 00:55:15,478
We're not selling the car.
846
00:55:15,562 --> 00:55:17,438
You want to keep it?
Now wait a minute, Vera.
847
00:55:17,523 --> 00:55:20,608
You said yourself I wouldn't be safe
until the car was in someone else's name.
848
00:55:20,693 --> 00:55:22,360
I'd like to be free of this mess
when I go.
849
00:55:22,444 --> 00:55:24,612
That's just it, Roberts. You're not going.
850
00:55:25,531 --> 00:55:27,365
- [sighs]
- There's a drive-in at the next corner.
851
00:55:27,449 --> 00:55:30,201
Pull in there and we'll get a bite to eat
and I'll explain.
852
00:55:30,285 --> 00:55:32,453
What is this,
another one of your brilliant ideas?
853
00:55:38,794 --> 00:55:41,671
- Hello. May I take your order?
- Make mine a ham sandwich and coffee.
854
00:55:41,755 --> 00:55:44,340
- And for you, sir?
- Oh, I don't care. The same.
855
00:55:46,510 --> 00:55:47,719
Thank you.
856
00:55:52,224 --> 00:55:55,226
Get this, Vera,
I've been pretty patient so far.
857
00:55:55,310 --> 00:55:57,311
I've done everything you asked me to do,
but no more.
858
00:55:57,396 --> 00:55:59,564
- Shut up.
- You've taken Haskell's money.
859
00:55:59,648 --> 00:56:01,524
And you can have the dough we get
from selling the car,
860
00:56:01,608 --> 00:56:03,192
but you're not gonna keep me a prisoner.
861
00:56:03,277 --> 00:56:05,069
It's a good thing I bought the paper.
Look at that.
862
00:56:05,154 --> 00:56:07,030
- Vera, I'm in no mood...
- Read that.
863
00:56:17,708 --> 00:56:19,292
- No.
- Yes.
864
00:56:19,376 --> 00:56:20,960
- No, I won't do it.
- Yes, you will.
865
00:56:21,045 --> 00:56:23,254
You think I'm crazy.
It's impossible, I tell ya.
866
00:56:24,131 --> 00:56:25,173
Excuse me.
867
00:56:30,637 --> 00:56:32,138
Blow the horn when you're through.
868
00:56:35,350 --> 00:56:38,561
No one could possibly get away with an act
like that. Be wise to me in a minute.
869
00:56:38,645 --> 00:56:39,812
Don't be yellow.
870
00:56:39,897 --> 00:56:42,690
You look enough like him.
The same coloring and the same build.
871
00:56:42,775 --> 00:56:44,358
See how his clothes fit ya?
872
00:56:44,443 --> 00:56:46,235
No kidding. You almost
had me fooled for a while.
873
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:47,528
Oh, grow up, Vera.
874
00:56:47,613 --> 00:56:50,406
Don't you think a father knows his own
son? There must be other relatives.
875
00:56:50,491 --> 00:56:53,326
The father won't have to know ya.
We'll wait till he gives up the ghost.
876
00:56:53,410 --> 00:56:55,411
He's an old geezer
and he won't pull through.
877
00:56:55,496 --> 00:56:59,373
And as far as the relatives are concerned,
they haven't seen you in 15 or 20 years.
878
00:57:00,876 --> 00:57:02,585
- Eat.
- I'm not hungry.
879
00:57:03,253 --> 00:57:06,130
- And I won't do it.
- It's not as tough as it sounds.
880
00:57:06,215 --> 00:57:08,049
Remember, you've got
all kinds of identification...
881
00:57:08,133 --> 00:57:09,133
his car, letters, license...
882
00:57:09,218 --> 00:57:11,761
I could never get away with it.
It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
883
00:57:11,845 --> 00:57:13,888
The old boy has scads of dough.
884
00:57:13,972 --> 00:57:17,141
Look in the paper there. Personal fortune
assessed at over 15 million.
885
00:57:17,226 --> 00:57:18,684
He'll leave plenty, I tell ya.
886
00:57:18,769 --> 00:57:20,937
Maybe he cut off his son.
How do we know?
887
00:57:21,021 --> 00:57:23,606
It's out, Vera.
I won't have anything to do with it.
888
00:57:24,817 --> 00:57:27,068
I think you will.
889
00:57:27,152 --> 00:57:30,696
Look, Vera, I'll do anything
within reason, but not that.
890
00:57:30,781 --> 00:57:32,698
So forget it or find yourself another stooge.
891
00:57:32,783 --> 00:57:34,033
You sap!
892
00:57:34,785 --> 00:57:36,911
You'll be fixed for the rest of your life
as Charlie Haskell.
893
00:57:36,995 --> 00:57:40,081
You can take your inheritance and go away.
No more worrying about the rent.
894
00:57:40,165 --> 00:57:42,291
No sweating, scheming, wondering
where your next meal's coming from!
895
00:57:42,376 --> 00:57:43,417
Think about that, Roberts!
896
00:57:43,502 --> 00:57:46,295
Vera, please. You're talking too loud.
897
00:57:46,713 --> 00:57:49,298
On this I'm splitting 50-50 with you.
Sure, why not?
898
00:57:49,383 --> 00:57:51,050
We're both alike.
Both born in the same gutter.
899
00:57:51,135 --> 00:57:52,301
Now take it easy, Vera.
900
00:57:52,386 --> 00:57:54,637
There's people around here.
You don't know what you're talking...
901
00:57:55,806 --> 00:57:59,684
We'll wait till we read that old man
Haskell's dead. Then you show up.
902
00:57:59,768 --> 00:58:02,061
Like you read in New York
that he was sick.
903
00:58:02,146 --> 00:58:04,772
No! Suppose he doesn't die?
904
00:58:04,857 --> 00:58:06,941
He will. I know he will.
Something tells me.
905
00:58:09,611 --> 00:58:12,405
[Al narrating] But as much as I insisted
I would have no part of her scheme,
906
00:58:12,489 --> 00:58:14,448
Vera was taking it for granted I would.
907
00:58:16,535 --> 00:58:19,954
Neither of us had our mind on the cards
as we played that night.
908
00:58:20,038 --> 00:58:23,207
I knew we were just trying to kill time
between newspaper editions.
909
00:58:24,042 --> 00:58:26,002
This was a deathwatch for Vera.
910
00:58:27,129 --> 00:58:28,713
Maybe it was for me too.
911
00:58:28,797 --> 00:58:32,383
Don't you realize if I'm caught they'll want
to know where I got the car and stuff?
912
00:58:32,467 --> 00:58:35,595
- Then they'll have me on a murder charge.
- If you're smart, you won't get caught.
913
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:37,054
I knock with seven.
914
00:58:37,139 --> 00:58:39,348
And if I'm caught,
don't you realize you'll be out too?
915
00:58:39,808 --> 00:58:42,935
Eighteen points. That gives me 30.
916
00:58:44,188 --> 00:58:45,438
How will I be out?
917
00:58:45,522 --> 00:58:47,982
You'll be out $1,850 we would have gotten
on the car.
918
00:58:48,066 --> 00:58:49,483
Really, Vera, you'd be an awful chump
919
00:58:49,568 --> 00:58:51,569
if you threw away all that dough
on a dizzy long shot.
920
00:58:51,653 --> 00:58:52,904
Let me sell the bus tomorrow.
921
00:58:52,988 --> 00:58:54,655
With the money it'll bring
and what you've already got,
922
00:58:54,740 --> 00:58:56,449
a clever kid like you
can run it up in no time.
923
00:58:56,533 --> 00:58:59,035
- Then we'd both be in the clear.
- I'll be in the clear anyway.
924
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:00,912
Maybe. Maybe.
925
00:59:00,996 --> 00:59:02,580
But if I got caught...
926
00:59:03,540 --> 00:59:06,083
- I'd get good and sore at you, you know.
- You mean you'd squeal?
927
00:59:06,168 --> 00:59:08,377
- Well, no, not squeal exactly...
- Never mind what you meant!
928
00:59:11,048 --> 00:59:14,425
Even if you did tell the cops
I was in on it with you,
929
00:59:14,509 --> 00:59:15,885
what could they do to me?
930
00:59:16,929 --> 00:59:19,347
They might give me the same medicine
they gave you.
931
00:59:19,431 --> 00:59:21,140
- Yeah.
- A rope.
932
00:59:23,644 --> 00:59:25,770
But I'm on my way anyhow.
933
00:59:27,731 --> 00:59:29,732
All they'll be doing will be rushing it.
934
00:59:30,359 --> 00:59:32,818
All right. But think of the 1,850 you'd lose.
935
00:59:32,903 --> 00:59:35,655
You'd kick yourself along the block
if you let that get away from you.
936
00:59:35,739 --> 00:59:38,658
I'll take the chance. Want another drink?
937
00:59:38,742 --> 00:59:41,744
You're being a goon. That's the way
people wind up behind the eight ball.
938
00:59:41,828 --> 00:59:44,330
Once they get a few dollars,
they become greedy and want more.
939
00:59:44,414 --> 00:59:45,706
My, my.
940
00:59:45,791 --> 00:59:46,791
- Caesar.
- Who?
941
00:59:46,875 --> 00:59:49,585
You know, that Roman general?
He got his for being greedy.
942
00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:52,838
He wasn't satisfied.
So the final windup was he took the count.
943
00:59:52,923 --> 00:59:55,299
A couple of days ago you didn't have a dime.
944
00:59:55,384 --> 00:59:58,219
Why, you were so broke
you couldn't pay cash for a postage stamp.
945
00:59:58,303 --> 01:00:01,347
Now you've got almost $700,
with 1,850 in the offing.
946
01:00:01,431 --> 01:00:03,099
Take my advice. Don't try for more.
947
01:00:03,183 --> 01:00:05,768
I'm tired of this game.
Let's have some blackjack.
948
01:00:05,852 --> 01:00:06,686
Play solitaire.
949
01:00:06,770 --> 01:00:09,313
- I will, if that's the way you feel about it.
- That's the way I feel about it.
950
01:00:09,398 --> 01:00:11,607
Getting sore and throwing things
won't help much, Roberts.
951
01:00:11,692 --> 01:00:15,111
I'm merely doing you a favor. I help you out of
a jam by keepin' my mouth shut.
952
01:00:15,195 --> 01:00:18,072
I show you how to make some soft money,
and what thanks do I get?
953
01:00:18,156 --> 01:00:19,156
- Thanks?
- Sure.
954
01:00:19,241 --> 01:00:21,659
Or would you rather I called the cops and told
them you killed a man and stole his money?
955
01:00:21,743 --> 01:00:22,827
- I didn't kill anybody.
- Yes, you did.
956
01:00:22,911 --> 01:00:25,705
- No, I didn't. You know I didn't.
- All right, then.
957
01:00:28,542 --> 01:00:30,251
Suppose I call the cops?
958
01:00:30,335 --> 01:00:32,920
If you're innocent,
what do you got to be scared of?
959
01:00:33,005 --> 01:00:36,590
Okay, call 'em, you mutt. Go ahead and call 'em.
See if I care.
960
01:00:36,675 --> 01:00:39,552
- At least they'll give me a square deal.
- You want me to call 'em?
961
01:00:39,636 --> 01:00:43,597
You heard me. But I'm warning ya.
If I'm pinched, I'll swear you were in on it.
962
01:00:43,682 --> 01:00:46,976
I'll say that you helped me.
If I'm frying, I'll get even with you.
963
01:00:47,060 --> 01:00:48,686
You wouldn't dare. You're chicken!
964
01:00:48,770 --> 01:00:52,815
Yeah? Then try it and see.
Call 'em. Yeah.
965
01:00:53,650 --> 01:00:55,067
Okay, I will.
966
01:00:57,112 --> 01:01:00,489
[dialing]
967
01:01:07,706 --> 01:01:09,915
Information.
968
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,835
I want the number
of the Hollywood police station.
969
01:01:14,713 --> 01:01:16,756
Okay, I got it. Thanks.
970
01:01:17,966 --> 01:01:19,592
[phone hook clicks]
971
01:01:19,676 --> 01:01:21,677
- [dialing]
- Wait a minute, Vera. You wouldn't do that.
972
01:01:21,762 --> 01:01:23,721
Oh, wouldn't I? Give me that
and I'll show you if I would!
973
01:01:23,805 --> 01:01:25,681
Take it easy now. Let's talk this over.
974
01:01:25,766 --> 01:01:27,558
[Al narrating]
This was early in the evening.
975
01:01:27,642 --> 01:01:32,146
And the conversation, while hectic,
was at least pitched low.
976
01:01:32,230 --> 01:01:36,776
But as the minutes passed and more obstacles
to her plan popped into my head,
977
01:01:36,860 --> 01:01:38,486
the air got blue.
978
01:01:38,570 --> 01:01:41,822
Each word coming from our lips
cracked like a whip.
979
01:01:41,907 --> 01:01:45,785
I reminded her that as Charles Haskell
I didn't even know my mother's name,
980
01:01:45,869 --> 01:01:47,578
where I'd gone to school,
981
01:01:47,662 --> 01:01:49,413
the name of my best friend,
982
01:01:49,498 --> 01:01:51,415
whether I had an Aunt Emma or not,
983
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:54,794
my religion, and if I'd ever owned a dog.
984
01:01:54,878 --> 01:01:57,463
I didn't even know
what my middle initial stood for.
985
01:01:57,547 --> 01:02:00,925
I also pointed out that the real Haskell
had a scar on his forearm.
986
01:02:01,510 --> 01:02:03,302
His people never saw that scar.
987
01:02:03,387 --> 01:02:05,596
He told me he ran away
right after putting out the kid's eye.
988
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,140
Yeah, but his father knew he was cut.
There'd have to be some kind of mark.
989
01:02:08,225 --> 01:02:10,434
So what?
990
01:02:10,519 --> 01:02:14,438
The old man's dead or will be.
I hope by tomorrow morning's papers.
991
01:02:14,523 --> 01:02:18,025
Anyway, you could cut yourself
a little, couldn't ya?
992
01:02:19,027 --> 01:02:22,321
Boy, for that kind of dough,
I'd let you cut my leg off.
993
01:02:22,406 --> 01:02:23,989
You're drunk and you're crazy mad, Vera.
994
01:02:24,074 --> 01:02:26,033
Turn me in if you want to,
but I won't get mixed up in this.
995
01:02:26,118 --> 01:02:28,160
Besides, how do we know?
Haskell was such a phony.
996
01:02:28,245 --> 01:02:30,371
Maybe he wasn't the man's son at all.
Maybe he just dreamed it up.
997
01:02:30,455 --> 01:02:35,918
Well, dreaming or not, you won't be dreaming
when the law taps you on the shoulder.
998
01:02:36,002 --> 01:02:39,588
There's a cute little gas chamber
waiting for you, Roberts.
999
01:02:39,673 --> 01:02:43,134
And I hear extradition to Arizona's a cinch.
1000
01:02:43,218 --> 01:02:45,052
Where's that phone?
1001
01:02:45,137 --> 01:02:46,512
- Vera.
- Leave me alone!
1002
01:02:46,596 --> 01:02:50,057
- Vera!
- I wanna phone, call the police.
1003
01:02:50,767 --> 01:02:54,812
I hate you, you stinker.
You leave me alone!
1004
01:02:54,896 --> 01:02:57,106
I'll let you alone when you promise to leave
the phone where it is.
1005
01:02:57,190 --> 01:02:59,150
- You're drunk. You don't know what you're doing.
- You're hurting me.
1006
01:02:59,234 --> 01:03:00,860
Will you promise?
1007
01:03:00,944 --> 01:03:02,528
All right.
1008
01:03:07,492 --> 01:03:10,327
- You hurt me.
- I'm sorry, but...
1009
01:03:10,412 --> 01:03:13,372
- And it's hot in here! Open up a window!
- It's not hot!
1010
01:03:13,457 --> 01:03:16,125
Don't tell me!
Now do you do it or do I do it?
1011
01:03:18,086 --> 01:03:19,837
You're no gentleman, see?
1012
01:03:19,921 --> 01:03:23,299
Yeah. All right, I'll open up the window.
1013
01:03:26,428 --> 01:03:27,511
Vera!
1014
01:03:31,892 --> 01:03:34,643
Vera, open the door.
Please open the door.
1015
01:03:34,728 --> 01:03:36,854
Vera, open the door.
Don't use the phone. Listen to me.
1016
01:03:37,522 --> 01:03:40,983
I don't like you, Roberts.
You're no gentleman, see?
1017
01:03:41,067 --> 01:03:45,154
You hurt my hand,
and I'm gonna get even with you.
1018
01:03:45,238 --> 01:03:48,407
If you don't open the door,
I'm gonna kick it down, Vera.
1019
01:03:48,492 --> 01:03:51,368
Vera, don't call the cops.
Listen to me, I'll do anything you say.
1020
01:03:52,287 --> 01:03:53,746
Vera, let me in!
1021
01:03:55,207 --> 01:03:56,665
I'll break the phone!
1022
01:04:14,267 --> 01:04:17,269
[grunting]
1023
01:04:22,609 --> 01:04:23,943
Vera.
1024
01:04:34,579 --> 01:04:36,539
[Al narrating] The world is full of skeptics.
1025
01:04:37,290 --> 01:04:39,667
I know. I'm one myself.
1026
01:04:40,669 --> 01:04:43,712
In the Haskell business, how many of you
would believe he fell out of the car?
1027
01:04:43,797 --> 01:04:46,173
And now, after killing Vera
without really meaning to do it,
1028
01:04:46,258 --> 01:04:48,676
how many of you would believe
it wasn't premeditated?
1029
01:04:49,719 --> 01:04:53,264
In a jury room, every last man of you
would go down shouting
1030
01:04:53,348 --> 01:04:56,058
that she had me over a barrel
and my only out was force.
1031
01:04:58,103 --> 01:04:59,728
The room was still.
1032
01:05:00,730 --> 01:05:03,691
So quiet that for a while I'd wondered
if I'd suddenly gone deaf.
1033
01:05:04,484 --> 01:05:06,235
It was pure fear, of course.
1034
01:05:06,319 --> 01:05:08,195
And I was hysterical,
1035
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:09,989
but without making a sound.
1036
01:05:11,324 --> 01:05:14,285
Vera was dead, and I was her murderer.
1037
01:05:15,370 --> 01:05:19,873
Murderer. What an awful word that is.
But I'd become one.
1038
01:05:19,958 --> 01:05:22,042
I'd better not get caught.
1039
01:05:22,127 --> 01:05:24,628
What evidence there was around the place
had to be destroyed.
1040
01:05:24,713 --> 01:05:26,505
And from the looks of things, there was plenty.
1041
01:05:26,590 --> 01:05:28,299
Looking around the room at things we'd bought
1042
01:05:28,383 --> 01:05:30,801
was like looking into the faces of
a hundred people who'd seen us together
1043
01:05:30,885 --> 01:05:32,803
and who remembered me.
1044
01:05:32,887 --> 01:05:35,306
This was the kind of testimony
I couldn't rub out.
1045
01:05:36,808 --> 01:05:38,058
No.
1046
01:05:38,143 --> 01:05:41,312
I could burn clothes and hide bottles
for the next five years.
1047
01:05:41,396 --> 01:05:42,855
There'd always be witnesses.
1048
01:05:42,939 --> 01:05:44,732
The landlady for one.
She could identify me.
1049
01:05:44,816 --> 01:05:46,233
The car dealer, the waitress in the drive-in,
1050
01:05:46,318 --> 01:05:48,819
the girl in the dress shop,
and that guy in the liquor store.
1051
01:05:48,903 --> 01:05:50,696
They could all identify me.
1052
01:05:52,032 --> 01:05:55,868
I was cooked. Done for.
I had to get out of there.
1053
01:05:57,203 --> 01:05:59,330
While once I remained beside a dead body
1054
01:05:59,414 --> 01:06:02,416
planning carefully how to avoid
being accused of killing him,
1055
01:06:02,500 --> 01:06:04,752
this time I couldn't.
1056
01:06:04,836 --> 01:06:06,503
This time I was guilty.
1057
01:06:07,422 --> 01:06:09,923
I knew it. Felt it.
1058
01:06:10,967 --> 01:06:13,218
I was like a guy suffering from shock.
1059
01:06:13,303 --> 01:06:14,970
Things were whirling around in my head.
1060
01:06:15,055 --> 01:06:17,890
I couldn't make myself think right.
1061
01:06:17,974 --> 01:06:21,435
All I could think of was the guy with
the saxophone and what he was playing.
1062
01:06:22,437 --> 01:06:24,021
It wasn't a love song anymore.
1063
01:06:24,814 --> 01:06:26,565
It was a dirge.
1064
01:07:12,028 --> 01:07:14,113
[jukebox: up-tempo band music]
1065
01:07:14,197 --> 01:07:16,615
[Al narrating]
But my problems weren't solved.
1066
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:19,493
I had to stay away from New York
for all time.
1067
01:07:20,328 --> 01:07:23,622
Because Al Roberts was listed as dead
and had to stay dead.
1068
01:07:24,332 --> 01:07:25,999
And I could never go back to Hollywood.
1069
01:07:26,835 --> 01:07:28,794
Someone might recognize me as Haskell.
1070
01:07:30,130 --> 01:07:33,048
- Then, too, there was Sue.
- [music stops]
1071
01:07:34,467 --> 01:07:37,803
I could never go to her with a thing
like this hanging over my head.
1072
01:07:39,180 --> 01:07:42,474
All I could do was pray she'd be happy.
1073
01:07:53,486 --> 01:07:57,656
I was in Bakersfield before I read
that Vera's body was discovered.
1074
01:07:57,741 --> 01:08:01,368
And that the police were looking for Haskell
in connection with his wife's murder.
1075
01:08:02,871 --> 01:08:04,413
Isn't that a laugh?
1076
01:08:05,081 --> 01:08:09,001
Haskell got me into this mess
and Haskell was getting me out of it.
1077
01:08:09,085 --> 01:08:11,170
The police were searching for a dead man.
1078
01:08:14,674 --> 01:08:16,884
I keep trying to forget what happened...
1079
01:08:18,261 --> 01:08:22,973
and wonder what my life might have been
if that car of Haskell's hadn't stopped.
1080
01:08:24,768 --> 01:08:26,935
But one thing I don't have to wonder about.
1081
01:08:28,146 --> 01:08:29,605
I know.
1082
01:08:31,107 --> 01:08:34,234
Someday a car will stop to pick me up
that I never thumbed.
1083
01:08:38,990 --> 01:08:39,865
Yes.
1084
01:08:40,742 --> 01:08:44,411
Fate... or some mysterious force
1085
01:08:44,496 --> 01:08:47,414
can put the finger on you or me
1086
01:08:47,499 --> 01:08:49,500
for no good reason at all.

Al Roberts, an unemployed piano player, hitches a ride, arriving at a roadside diner in Reno, Nevada. Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.
Al recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.
In Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.
Al realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.
Al crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.
In Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.
Back at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.
Al gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of "his wife." Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest.

- East.

he's got Lou to keep him company.

and a few drinks,

- [playing romantic melody]
- I fronted the piano in there every night
77
00:07:15,185 --> 00:07:17,311
from 8:00 until the place closed up,
78
00:07:17,395 --> 00:07:19,563
which usually meant 4:00 in the morning.
79
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:22,066
A good job as jobs went in those days.
80
00:07:25,487 --> 00:07:28,739
Then, too, there was Sue,
81
00:07:28,824 --> 00:07:31,784
who made working there
a little like working in heaven.
82
00:07:32,244 --> 00:07:36,372
But how we felt about each other, well,
there was nothing very unusual in that.
83
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:39,834
I was an ordinary healthy guy,
and she was an ordinary healthy girl,
84
00:07:39,918 --> 00:07:43,170
and when you add those two together,
you get an ordinary healthy romance,

which is the old story.

Sure. But somehow

Mr. Patterewsky, I presume?
It's beautiful.
90
00:08:15,579 --> 00:08:17,663
You're going to make Carnegie Hall yet, Al.
91
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:20,332
Yeah. As a janitor.
92
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:22,251
I'll make my debut in the basement.
93
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:26,005
I don't blame you for being bitter,
darling, but you mustn't give up hope.
94
00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:27,798
- Why, some day...
- Yeah, some day,
95
00:08:27,883 --> 00:08:29,633
if I don't get arthritis first.
96
00:08:29,718 --> 00:08:31,385
In the meantime, let's blow this trap.
97
00:08:31,469 --> 00:08:32,845
[piano lid thuds]
98
00:08:48,737 --> 00:08:49,737
[door closes]
99
00:08:51,323 --> 00:08:53,782
- Like to get something to eat, hon?
- Oh, I don't think so, Al.
100
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:56,911
I lose my appetite working in this fleabag.
101
00:08:56,995 --> 00:08:58,954
- Let's go home.
- Okay.
102
00:08:59,831 --> 00:09:02,416
I can't stand much more of that dump.
103
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:05,211
Did you see that drunk tonight
trying to paw me?
104
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:08,547
- No, what drunk?
- Does it matter what drunk?
105
00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:11,800
Say, what's the matter with you tonight, darling?
106
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:14,511
That's the third time you started
to tell me something and then stopped.
107
00:09:15,305 --> 00:09:17,806
We shouldn't have any secrets
from each other, Sue.
108
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:20,267
Next week, we're gonna make with a ring
and a license. We'll be a team.
109
00:09:20,352 --> 00:09:23,395
Yes, that's right. In the bush league.
110
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,190
- I don't get ya.
- We've been struck out.
111
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:29,276
That's a funny way to talk, darling.
112
00:09:29,361 --> 00:09:31,737
- Don't you wanna marry me?
- Al, look, I love you.
113
00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:34,198
You know I do.
And I want to marry you.
114
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:36,742
- But...?
- But not now.
115
00:09:36,826 --> 00:09:39,286
Only after we've made good.
116
00:09:39,371 --> 00:09:40,996
Sunday I'm going away.
117
00:09:41,706 --> 00:09:43,666
Oh, I know you'll think it's silly.
118
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:46,001
That's why I hesitated to tell you.
119
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:47,795
But I'm going to California.
120
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:50,297
I wanna try my luck in Hollywood.
121
00:09:50,548 --> 00:09:52,758
[Al] That's the most
stupid thing I ever heard of.
122
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:56,387
Don't you know millions of people go out there
every year and wind up polishing cuspidors?
123
00:09:56,471 --> 00:09:57,638
I thought you had better sense.
124
00:09:57,722 --> 00:09:59,598
You sound as if you think
I don't have any talent.
125
00:09:59,683 --> 00:10:02,101
- That has nothing to do with it.
- I'll make out all right.
126
00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:03,936
Maybe. But what about me?
127
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:06,563
Doesn't it mean anything to you
that you're busting up all our plans?
128
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:09,817
- We may not see each other for years?
- It won't be that long.
129
00:10:09,901 --> 00:10:12,111
- I thought you loved me.
- I do.
130
00:10:12,195 --> 00:10:13,737
You know I do.
131
00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:18,325
Well, here we are.
132
00:10:20,787 --> 00:10:21,787
Al...
133
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:25,541
Al, why can't you see my side of it?
134
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:28,294
I'm young. We both are. And...
135
00:10:28,378 --> 00:10:31,005
And we've got all the time in the world
to settle down.
136
00:10:31,715 --> 00:10:33,966
[sighs] Really, darling.
137
00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:37,303
What I'm doing is the only sane thing to do.
138
00:10:37,387 --> 00:10:40,889
[sighs] I... I hate the thought
of being so far away from you.
139
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:44,226
But... But we'll be together again some day.
140
00:10:44,311 --> 00:10:47,563
[sighs] Maybe you'll decide
to come out too, later on.
141
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:49,898
- So long.
- Al.
142
00:10:50,734 --> 00:10:53,068
Aren't you gonna kiss me good night?
143
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,237
Sure, why not?
144
00:10:57,741 --> 00:10:58,991
Good night.
145
00:11:05,248 --> 00:11:07,708
[playing romantic melody]
146
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:34,276
[playing jauntily, jazzy]
147
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:47,164
[changing rhythm, slower]
148
00:12:09,604 --> 00:12:12,231
[changing rhythm, jittery]
149
00:12:18,822 --> 00:12:21,824
[no audible dialogue]
150
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:40,717
[piano playing stops]
151
00:12:40,802 --> 00:12:42,469
- [applause]
- Say, Roberts.
152
00:12:42,554 --> 00:12:45,848
You hit the jackpot this time. Ten bucks.
153
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:47,391
Thanks.
154
00:12:53,481 --> 00:12:56,024
[Al narrating] So when this drunk handed me
a ten-spot after a request,
155
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:57,526
I couldn't get very excited.
156
00:12:57,777 --> 00:13:01,363
What was it, I asked myself?
A piece of paper crawling with germs.
157
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:03,866
Couldn't buy anything I wanted.
158
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:05,242
It couldn't...
159
00:13:08,246 --> 00:13:09,705
Then I thought of something.
160
00:13:33,104 --> 00:13:34,313
Long distance.
161
00:13:34,397 --> 00:13:36,857
I'd like to put a call through to Los Angeles.
162
00:13:36,941 --> 00:13:39,193
Miss Harvey. Sue Harvey.
163
00:13:39,277 --> 00:13:41,069
H-A-R-V-E-Y.
164
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:44,615
The number is CRestview 65723.
165
00:14:04,594 --> 00:14:06,386
- 4.50.
- [coin clatters]
166
00:14:06,471 --> 00:14:08,347
- 4.75.
- [coin clatters]
167
00:14:08,431 --> 00:14:09,431
5.00.
168
00:14:12,477 --> 00:14:15,020
Hello, Sue? This is Al.
169
00:14:15,104 --> 00:14:17,356
Oh, baby, it's great to hear from you too.
170
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,651
What's that? You do?
Oh, me too, darling.
171
00:14:20,735 --> 00:14:23,362
I thought I'd go batty without you.
I just had to...
172
00:14:23,446 --> 00:14:24,446
Huh?
173
00:14:25,406 --> 00:14:27,449
You're workin' as a hash slinger?
174
00:14:27,534 --> 00:14:28,867
Gee, honey, that's tough.
175
00:14:28,952 --> 00:14:32,371
Those guys out in Hollywood don't know
the real thing when it's right in front of them.
176
00:14:32,455 --> 00:14:34,164
You just stick it out, Sue, baby.
177
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:37,417
Keep goin' around to those casting offices.
I'm sure you'll click.
178
00:14:38,002 --> 00:14:40,629
Look, I'll tell you what.
You stay put out there. I'll come to you.
179
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:43,632
No, don't try to stop me. Just expect me.
180
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:46,760
Train? Who knows?
Train, plane, bus, magic carpet.
181
00:14:46,844 --> 00:14:50,430
I'll be there if I have to crawl.
If I have to travel by pogo stick.
182
00:14:50,515 --> 00:14:53,809
And then... let's get married right away.
183
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:59,439
That's the stuff. That's what
I've been wanting to hear you say.
184
00:15:00,525 --> 00:15:03,110
Well, good-bye for now.
185
00:15:04,362 --> 00:15:06,905
I'll be seeing you soon. [kisses]
186
00:15:07,282 --> 00:15:10,492
Yeah. [kisses] Bye.
187
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:18,500
[Al narrating] The only way I could
cross country was to thumb rides,
188
00:15:18,585 --> 00:15:21,587
for even after hocking everything,
I only had enough money to eat.
189
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:24,923
Money. You know what that is.
190
00:15:25,717 --> 00:15:27,551
It's the stuff you never have enough of.
191
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:29,720
Little green things
with George Washington's picture
192
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:33,432
that men slave for,
commit crimes for, die for.
193
00:15:34,183 --> 00:15:36,226
It's the stuff that has caused
more trouble in the world
194
00:15:36,311 --> 00:15:38,186
than anything else we ever invented,
195
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:41,273
simply because there's too little of it.
196
00:15:41,357 --> 00:15:43,442
At least I had too little of it.
197
00:15:43,526 --> 00:15:45,319
So it was me for the thumb.
198
00:16:01,753 --> 00:16:03,170
Ever done any hitchhiking?
199
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:05,881
It's not much fun, believe me.
200
00:16:06,549 --> 00:16:08,842
Oh, yeah,
I know all about how it's an education,
201
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:11,595
and how you get to meet a lot of people,
and all that.
202
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:15,849
But me, from now on
I'll take my education in college,
203
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:20,187
or in P.S. 62, or I'll send $1.98
in stamps for ten easy lessons.
204
00:16:29,447 --> 00:16:33,367
Thumbing rides may save you bus fare,
but it's dangerous.
205
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:37,954
You never know what's in store for you
when you hear the squeal of brakes.
206
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,001
If only I had known what I was getting into
that day in Arizona.
207
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:46,546
Here, throw that in the back seat.
208
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:51,301
Okay, let's go.
Make sure that door's closed.
209
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:53,553
- [door closes]
- [lock clacks]
210
00:17:05,483 --> 00:17:09,319
You know, Emily Post ought to write
a book of rules for guys thumbing rides.
211
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:13,031
Because as it is now you never know
what's right and what's wrong.
212
00:17:13,783 --> 00:17:17,285
We rode along for a little while,
neither one of us saying anything.
213
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:19,538
I was glad of that.
214
00:17:19,622 --> 00:17:22,457
I never know what to say
to strange people driving cars.
215
00:17:23,418 --> 00:17:26,545
And too, you can never tell
if a guy wants to talk.
216
00:17:26,629 --> 00:17:29,631
A lot of rides have been cut short
because of a big mouth.
217
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:34,845
So I kept my mouth shut
until he started opening up.
218
00:17:35,596 --> 00:17:38,473
Hand me that little box
in the compartment, will ya, pal?
219
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:42,936
Hold the wheel, will ya?
220
00:17:44,397 --> 00:17:45,397
[pills rattling]
221
00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:53,029
[glove box closes]
222
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:56,450
- How far are ya going?
- LA.
223
00:17:56,534 --> 00:17:58,577
Well, you're really traveling aren't ya?
224
00:17:58,661 --> 00:18:00,704
Yeah, but I don't expect to make it
for a couple years
225
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:02,372
at the rate I've been promoting rides.
226
00:18:02,457 --> 00:18:03,582
Not much luck, huh?
227
00:18:03,666 --> 00:18:05,459
Sure. All bad.
228
00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:07,753
Not many people stop for a guy these days.
229
00:18:07,837 --> 00:18:09,296
Afraid of a stickup maybe.
230
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:10,505
Ah, you can't blame 'em.
231
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:13,675
- Where ya comin' from?
- New York.
232
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,137
Well, New York. You're in luck this time.
233
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:19,139
I'm goin' all the way.
234
00:18:19,223 --> 00:18:20,807
Right through to Los Angeles.
235
00:18:22,018 --> 00:18:24,102
- You drive a car?
- Sure.
236
00:18:24,187 --> 00:18:26,897
- Whenever you're tired, let me know.
- I'll holler.
237
00:18:28,691 --> 00:18:30,776
I guess at least an hour passed
before I noticed
238
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:32,778
those deep scratches in his right hand.
239
00:18:33,237 --> 00:18:34,696
They were wicked.
240
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:37,532
Three puffy red lines
about a quarter of an inch apart.
241
00:18:38,576 --> 00:18:40,869
He must have seen me looking at them
because he said...
242
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:43,288
Beauties, aren't they?
243
00:18:44,081 --> 00:18:45,957
They're gonna be scars someday.
244
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:49,002
What an animal.
245
00:18:49,086 --> 00:18:51,880
Whatever it was, it must have been
pretty big and vicious to have done that.
246
00:18:52,381 --> 00:18:54,424
Right on both counts, New York.
247
00:18:54,509 --> 00:18:57,636
I was tussling with the most
dangerous animal in the world...
248
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,804
a woman.
249
00:18:59,388 --> 00:19:01,014
She must have been Tarzan's mate.
250
00:19:01,098 --> 00:19:02,766
Looks like you lost the bout.
251
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:04,559
Certainly wasn't a draw.
252
00:19:05,394 --> 00:19:08,313
You know, there ought to be a law
against dames with claws.
253
00:19:08,397 --> 00:19:09,314
Yeah.
254
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:11,483
I tossed her out of the car on her ear.
255
00:19:12,318 --> 00:19:16,655
Was I wrong? Give a lift to a tomato,
you expect her to be nice, don't ya?
256
00:19:16,739 --> 00:19:17,656
Yeah.
257
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:20,242
After all, what kind of dames thumb rides?
258
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:22,577
- Sunday school teachers?
- Yeah.
259
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:25,747
The little witch.
260
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:28,458
She must've thought she was riding
with some fall guy.
261
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:32,337
And me who's been booking horses
around racetracks since I was 20.
262
00:19:33,047 --> 00:19:34,923
[scoffs] I've known a million dames like her.
263
00:19:35,383 --> 00:19:37,217
- Two million.
- Yeah.
264
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:42,138
Stopped the car, opened the door...
265
00:19:42,223 --> 00:19:44,641
"Take it on the Arthur Duffy, sister,"
I told her.
266
00:19:44,725 --> 00:19:48,103
- That's the stuff.
- As I was down on her. [laughs]
267
00:19:48,479 --> 00:19:52,148
But if you wanna see a real scar, brother,
get a load of this.
268
00:19:53,442 --> 00:19:55,026
Wow.
269
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:57,904
- I got that one dueling.
- Dueling?
270
00:19:58,406 --> 00:19:59,865
Yeah. We were just kidding, of course.
271
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:02,450
My dad owned a couple of
Franco-Prussian sabers.
272
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:04,244
Kept 'em on the wall for decorations.
273
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:09,749
One day, another kid and I took 'em down
when the old man wasn't around. Had a duel.
274
00:20:09,834 --> 00:20:11,376
[chuckles]
275
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:13,587
He hit me in the arm, here.
276
00:20:13,671 --> 00:20:15,338
Pretty mean cut.
277
00:20:15,423 --> 00:20:16,965
Infection set in later.
278
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:18,842
Yeah, I can see that.
279
00:20:19,093 --> 00:20:21,428
- Oh, gimme that box again, will ya?
- Yeah.
280
00:20:24,765 --> 00:20:26,099
[pills rattling]
281
00:20:31,355 --> 00:20:32,397
[glove box closes]
282
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:35,525
Pain made me lose my head, I guess.
283
00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:37,694
I began slashing.
284
00:20:37,778 --> 00:20:40,488
Before I knew it,
I put the other kid's eye out.
285
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:43,950
- That was tough.
- Well, it was just an accident, of course.
286
00:20:44,035 --> 00:20:48,413
But you know how kids are. I got scared...
decided I was gonna run away from home.
287
00:20:48,915 --> 00:20:51,958
Old man almost clocked me
when I was packin' my duds.
288
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:56,296
If the bloody rag I had wrapped around my wrist
hadn't caught his attention,
289
00:20:56,380 --> 00:20:58,048
he'd have seen the bundle for sure.
290
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:01,551
But I beat it when he was phoning for a doctor.
291
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:06,598
That was 15, 16 years ago.
I haven't been home since.
292
00:21:10,561 --> 00:21:12,729
Pull in there for a bite of something, huh?
293
00:21:12,813 --> 00:21:14,481
[Al narrating] A bite of something.
294
00:21:14,565 --> 00:21:16,066
Brother, was I hungry.
295
00:21:16,150 --> 00:21:18,401
I hadn't had anything in my stomach for hours.
296
00:21:19,362 --> 00:21:21,404
Yet even with that gnawing
in the pit of my belly,
297
00:21:21,489 --> 00:21:24,324
I didn't want to be in too big a rush
to put on the feed bag.
298
00:21:25,076 --> 00:21:27,827
First, I had to make sure
this guy knew the score.
299
00:21:27,912 --> 00:21:31,247
If I got him down on me,
it was good-bye ticket to Hollywood.
300
00:21:32,083 --> 00:21:33,708
I'll wait out here for you, mister.
301
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:36,753
If it's the money, don't worry about
paying for it. This time it's on me.
302
00:21:36,837 --> 00:21:39,255
- Well, that's white of you, Mr...
- Haskell. Think nothing of it.
303
00:21:39,340 --> 00:21:42,717
You make your first million, maybe you can
do the same for me. Come on, New York.
304
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:44,594
I gotta make the West Coast by Wednesday.
305
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:47,263
There's a horse running at
Santa Anita named Paradisiacal.
306
00:21:47,348 --> 00:21:49,933
- Means dough to me if I'm running.
- We'll make it all right.
307
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:54,688
[Al narrating] He did most of the talking
during the half hour we were in the place.
308
00:21:54,772 --> 00:21:55,772
I ate.
309
00:21:56,857 --> 00:22:01,027
He rambled on about his old man, who he hadn't
heard from since he ran away as a kid,
310
00:22:01,112 --> 00:22:02,946
and how he happened to become a bookie,
311
00:22:03,030 --> 00:22:05,740
and then all about how he got rooked in Miami.
312
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:08,660
One race, 38 grand.
They cleaned out my book.
313
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:11,079
- How do you like that?
- That was tough luck.
314
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:13,164
Yeah, and I'm supposed to be the smart guy.
315
00:22:13,249 --> 00:22:16,543
You just wait. I'm going back to Florida
next season with all kinds of jack.
316
00:22:16,627 --> 00:22:18,586
And you watch those stinkers run for cover.
317
00:22:19,547 --> 00:22:21,965
- Want anything else?
- No, thanks, I've had plenty.
318
00:22:27,638 --> 00:22:29,556
- The check there, sister?
- Mm-hmm.
319
00:22:32,601 --> 00:22:34,519
Oh, just a minute. Your change, sir.
320
00:22:34,603 --> 00:22:37,272
- Keep it, sister.
- Oh, thank you, sir. Call again.
321
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,190
I'll be waitin' outside for you
when you finish work.
322
00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:40,400
[chuckles]
323
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:41,776
Sharp chick, huh?
324
00:22:49,952 --> 00:22:52,912
[Al narrating] I drove all that night
while Haskell slept like a log.
325
00:22:53,581 --> 00:22:56,416
After a while, I began to get sleepy myself.
326
00:22:57,835 --> 00:23:01,671
I was happy though.
Soon I'd be with Sue again.
327
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:03,214
The long trip was practically over,
328
00:23:03,299 --> 00:23:06,009
and there'd be no more hoofing it
down the concrete.
329
00:23:06,761 --> 00:23:08,928
I began to think of the future,
330
00:23:09,013 --> 00:23:12,098
which couldn't have been brighter
if I'd embroidered it with neon lights.
331
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,226
It was nice to think of Sue shooting to the top.
332
00:23:16,437 --> 00:23:20,356
[chuckles] It's amazing what a full belly
can do to your imagination.
333
00:23:20,566 --> 00:23:23,276
[romantic ballad]
334
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:28,156
# Your eyes are blue
Your kisses too #
335
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,577
# I never knew what they could do #
336
00:23:32,661 --> 00:23:39,667
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
337
00:23:41,045 --> 00:23:45,632
# You're telling everyone you know #
338
00:23:45,716 --> 00:23:50,095
# I'm on your mind each place you go #
339
00:23:50,179 --> 00:23:56,017
# I can't believe that you're in love #
340
00:23:56,352 --> 00:24:02,690
# With me #
341
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:12,951
Mr. Haskell.
342
00:24:14,703 --> 00:24:15,703
Mr. Haskell?
343
00:24:18,833 --> 00:24:20,875
Mr. Haskell, wake up! It's raining.
344
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,002
Don't you think we ought to stop
and put up the top?
345
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:33,263
Mr. Haskell, I'm gonna put up the top.
346
00:24:48,154 --> 00:24:50,029
[Al narrating] Until then,
I'd done things my way.
347
00:24:50,531 --> 00:24:52,699
But from then on, something else
stepped in and shunted me off
348
00:24:52,783 --> 00:24:55,535
to a different destination
than the one I had picked for myself.
349
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:58,329
For when I pulled open that door...
350
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:05,170
Mr. Haskell, what's the matter?
Are you hurt?
351
00:25:06,255 --> 00:25:07,547
Are you hurt, Mr. Haskell?
352
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:11,467
[Al narrating]
Start your sermon. I'll listen to it.
353
00:25:12,219 --> 00:25:15,013
But I know what you're gonna hand me
even before you open your mouths.
354
00:25:15,598 --> 00:25:18,016
You're gonna tell me you don't believe
my story of how Haskell died
355
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:21,352
and give me that "don't make me laugh"
expression on your smug faces.
356
00:25:24,815 --> 00:25:26,357
I saw at once he was dead.
357
00:25:26,692 --> 00:25:28,193
And I was in for it.
358
00:25:28,277 --> 00:25:30,111
Who would believe he fell out of the car?
359
00:25:30,196 --> 00:25:31,738
If Haskell came to, which,
of course, he couldn't,
360
00:25:31,822 --> 00:25:34,240
even he would swear
I conked him over the head for his dough.
361
00:25:34,325 --> 00:25:35,491
Yes, I was in for it.
362
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:39,829
Instinct told me to run,
but then I realized it was hopeless.
363
00:25:39,914 --> 00:25:41,998
There were lots of people back down the road
who could identify me.
364
00:25:42,082 --> 00:25:44,000
That gas station guy and the waitress.
365
00:25:44,084 --> 00:25:46,419
I would be in a worse spot then
trying to explain why I beat it.
366
00:25:47,504 --> 00:25:50,381
The next possibility was to sit tight
and tell the truth when the cops came.
367
00:25:50,466 --> 00:25:53,176
But that would be crazy.
They'd laugh at the truth.
368
00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:54,552
And I'd have my head in a noose.
369
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:59,807
So what else was there to do
but hide the body and get away in the car?
370
00:25:59,892 --> 00:26:02,101
I couldn't leave the car there
with him in the gully.
371
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:03,937
That would be like erecting a tombstone.
372
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:35,385
My idea was to cover him with brush,
not to rob him.
373
00:26:35,636 --> 00:26:38,304
But then I remembered that even if
I only drove the car for 100 miles or so,
374
00:26:38,389 --> 00:26:39,722
I would need money for gas.
375
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:44,060
Besides, it was stupid of me
to leave all that money on a dead man.
376
00:26:45,145 --> 00:26:47,188
Not only that,
I'd have to take his driver's license
377
00:26:47,273 --> 00:26:48,690
in case I was stopped for something.
378
00:26:50,901 --> 00:26:52,235
I didn't like to think about it,
379
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,821
but by that time I'd done
just what the police would say I did.
380
00:26:54,905 --> 00:26:57,740
Even if I didn't... My clothes.
381
00:26:58,367 --> 00:27:00,618
The owner of such an expensive car
would never be wearing them.
382
00:27:01,662 --> 00:27:03,246
Some cop might pull me in on suspicion.
383
00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,802
[motorcycle approaches]
384
00:27:28,939 --> 00:27:30,231
Hey, you. This your car?
385
00:27:30,941 --> 00:27:33,943
Don't you know better than to leave a car
with the wheels halfway in the middle of the road?
386
00:27:34,028 --> 00:27:35,403
That's the way accidents happen.
387
00:27:35,612 --> 00:27:38,614
I... I'm sorry, Officer.
I was just putting up my top.
388
00:27:38,699 --> 00:27:41,367
- I didn't think.
- Well, the next time, think.
389
00:27:41,452 --> 00:27:43,911
I'll let you go now,
but watch your step in the future.
390
00:27:43,996 --> 00:27:46,414
I know that it's a lonely stretch,
but cars come by here once in a while.
391
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:49,334
- We have plenty of crack-ups.
- Thanks, Officer.
392
00:28:13,067 --> 00:28:15,777
[Al narrating] I left nothing in the car
that'd give me away as Roberts.
393
00:28:15,861 --> 00:28:18,529
If they found a dead man in the gully now,
it could be me.
394
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:28,122
As I drove off, it was still raining.
395
00:28:29,083 --> 00:28:31,876
The drops streaked
down the windshield like tears.
396
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:36,381
I kept imagining I was being followed,
397
00:28:36,465 --> 00:28:38,341
that I could hear sirens
back in the distance.
398
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,471
Just how long it took to cover the 60-odd
miles to the California state line,
399
00:28:43,555 --> 00:28:44,555
I don't know.
400
00:28:45,057 --> 00:28:46,641
I lost all track of time.
401
00:28:47,351 --> 00:28:51,270
But the rain had stopped and the sun was up
when I pulled up to the inspection station.
402
00:28:55,859 --> 00:28:56,692
Hello.
403
00:28:57,653 --> 00:28:59,946
- Carrying any fruits or vegetables?
- No.
404
00:29:00,030 --> 00:29:02,198
- Any livestock or poultry?
- No.
405
00:29:02,282 --> 00:29:03,741
[footsteps approaching]
406
00:29:03,826 --> 00:29:06,202
I'd like to see your registration
and driver's license, please.
407
00:29:10,749 --> 00:29:13,251
- Anything in the baggage compartment?
- Just baggage.
408
00:29:15,212 --> 00:29:18,548
Charles Haskell Jr.
Age 30, brown eyes, dark hair.
409
00:29:18,841 --> 00:29:20,216
Identifying marks, none.
410
00:29:20,884 --> 00:29:23,094
- Are you Charles Haskell Jr.?
- Yes.
411
00:29:23,178 --> 00:29:25,263
Well, remember, if you're employed,
and you stay over 30 days,
412
00:29:25,347 --> 00:29:27,223
you take out California plates.
413
00:29:27,307 --> 00:29:29,517
All right, Officer, but I'll only be
in the state a short while.
414
00:29:31,186 --> 00:29:32,270
Right. You can go now.
415
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:42,113
[Al narrating] I couldn't drive any farther
without some sleep.
416
00:29:42,197 --> 00:29:45,783
Cops or no cops, I knew
I had to hit the hay and hit it hard.
417
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,203
I was dead tired.
418
00:30:20,027 --> 00:30:20,943
No.
419
00:30:21,820 --> 00:30:23,362
No, you can't, Mr. Haskell.
420
00:30:24,323 --> 00:30:25,156
No.
421
00:30:32,706 --> 00:30:35,374
Mr. Haskell, you can't die.
422
00:30:36,502 --> 00:30:39,128
They'll think... They'll think I did it.
423
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:42,173
No, Mr. Haskell.
424
00:30:42,591 --> 00:30:44,717
No, no...
425
00:30:48,722 --> 00:30:49,805
[knocks]
426
00:30:54,019 --> 00:30:55,603
[knocking continues]
427
00:30:59,358 --> 00:31:00,233
Who's there?
428
00:31:00,317 --> 00:31:02,610
It's the maid. Can I come in and clean?
429
00:31:03,820 --> 00:31:06,322
Later... in a half-hour.
430
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:07,490
All right, sir.
431
00:31:32,057 --> 00:31:33,599
[Al narrating] There was no time to lose.
432
00:31:33,684 --> 00:31:36,227
Every minute I had to be Charles Haskell
was dangerous.
433
00:31:36,311 --> 00:31:38,521
I'd have to be Charles Haskell
until I got to some city
434
00:31:38,605 --> 00:31:40,648
where I could leave the car
and be swallowed up.
435
00:31:46,238 --> 00:31:48,864
That meant driving the car
as far as San Bernardino,
436
00:31:48,949 --> 00:31:50,491
maybe even to Los Angeles.
437
00:31:50,576 --> 00:31:52,451
In a little town, I might be noticed.
438
00:31:52,536 --> 00:31:54,328
But in a city, I should be safe enough.
439
00:31:55,581 --> 00:31:58,666
Then, after I ditched the car,
I could go on to Sue.
440
00:31:59,585 --> 00:32:02,545
But those five minutes at the state line
made me realize
441
00:32:02,629 --> 00:32:05,631
it might be a good idea to find out
a little bit about Mr. Haskell.
442
00:32:06,633 --> 00:32:09,302
Then if anybody asked me questions,
I could give the right answers.
443
00:32:10,345 --> 00:32:13,806
The first thing I found out
was that I had $768.
444
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:17,768
This was a lot of jack, but believe me,
445
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:19,895
it was the kind of money
I'd rather not have.
446
00:32:27,446 --> 00:32:31,115
And then I found out from a letter
Haskell was carting around in his bag
447
00:32:31,199 --> 00:32:33,784
that he wasn't the openhanded,
easygoing big shot
448
00:32:33,869 --> 00:32:36,412
who went around buying dinners
for strange hitchhikers.
449
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:39,832
Before I got done reading it,
I saw him more as a chiseler.
450
00:32:41,209 --> 00:32:43,836
It was written
to his old man in California,
451
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,796
the one he hadn't seen in so many years.
452
00:32:46,590 --> 00:32:51,385
In it, Haskell posed as a salesman...
of hymnals, of all things.
453
00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:54,388
It was easy to see where Haskell expected
454
00:32:54,473 --> 00:32:56,849
to raise a new stake
for his book in Miami...
455
00:32:57,684 --> 00:32:59,143
by rooking his old man.
456
00:33:00,771 --> 00:33:03,689
That was about all I found out
from his effects.
457
00:33:03,774 --> 00:33:04,857
And it was enough.
458
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:09,737
I told myself maybe old man Haskell
was lucky his son kicked off.
459
00:33:10,864 --> 00:33:12,531
He would never know it,
460
00:33:12,616 --> 00:33:16,077
but it saved him from taking a flier
in sacred literature preferred.
461
00:33:22,793 --> 00:33:24,377
[birds chirping]
462
00:33:41,186 --> 00:33:43,979
Near the airport at Desert Center,
I pulled up for water.
463
00:33:45,607 --> 00:33:46,691
There was a woman.
464
00:33:51,321 --> 00:33:53,614
Hey, you. Come on if you want a ride.
465
00:34:07,587 --> 00:34:08,587
[car hood slams]
466
00:34:39,995 --> 00:34:41,662
How far you goin'?
467
00:34:41,747 --> 00:34:43,122
How far are you going?
468
00:34:43,749 --> 00:34:46,792
[Al narrating] That took me by surprise.
I turned my head to look her over.
469
00:34:47,836 --> 00:34:50,588
She was facing straight ahead,
so I couldn't see her eyes.
470
00:34:51,006 --> 00:34:53,758
But she was young, not more than 24.
471
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:56,844
Man, she looked as if
she'd just been thrown off
472
00:34:56,928 --> 00:34:59,305
the crummiest freight train in the world.
473
00:35:00,140 --> 00:35:02,641
Yet, in spite of this,
I got the impression of beauty.
474
00:35:03,727 --> 00:35:06,020
Not the beauty of a movie actress,
mind you,
475
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,689
or the beauty you dream about
when you're with your wife,
476
00:35:08,774 --> 00:35:10,065
but a natural beauty,
477
00:35:10,567 --> 00:35:13,194
a beauty that's almost homely
because it's so real.
478
00:35:15,363 --> 00:35:17,114
Then, suddenly, she turned to face me.
479
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:20,409
- How far did you say you were going?
- Los Angeles.
480
00:35:20,494 --> 00:35:21,410
LA?
481
00:35:22,287 --> 00:35:25,790
- LA's good enough for me, mister.
- That's what I was afraid of.
482
00:35:25,874 --> 00:35:29,084
- What'd you say?
- Oh, nothing. Just thinking out loud.
483
00:35:29,169 --> 00:35:31,128
People get in trouble for doing that.
484
00:35:32,005 --> 00:35:34,715
- What's your name?
- You can call me Vera, if you like.
485
00:35:35,509 --> 00:35:37,176
- You live in Los Angeles?
- No.
486
00:35:39,054 --> 00:35:41,555
- Where you coming from?
- Oh, back there.
487
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,098
- Needles?
- No.
488
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:47,102
Oh, sure. Phoenix.
You look just like a Phoenix girl.
489
00:35:47,687 --> 00:35:49,855
- Are the girls in Phoenix that bad?
- [chuckles]
490
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:51,774
[Al narrating]
The girl must have been pretty tired
491
00:35:51,858 --> 00:35:54,944
because she fell asleep not 20 minutes
after she stepped into the car.
492
00:35:55,737 --> 00:35:59,782
She lay sprawled out with her head resting
against the far door, like Haskell.
493
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:03,452
I didn't like that part of it much,
but I didn't wake her up.
494
00:36:04,955 --> 00:36:06,872
It wasn't that this girl still worried me.
495
00:36:07,374 --> 00:36:10,376
I'd gotten over that funny feeling
I had when she looked at me,
496
00:36:10,460 --> 00:36:13,003
which I put down
as just my jangled nerves.
497
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:16,590
With her eyes closed
and the tenseness gone out of her,
498
00:36:16,675 --> 00:36:18,133
she seemed harmless enough.
499
00:36:18,885 --> 00:36:21,929
Instead of disliking her,
I began to feel sorry for her.
500
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:25,182
The poor kid probably
had had a rough time of it.
501
00:36:26,476 --> 00:36:27,977
Who was she, anyway?
502
00:36:28,061 --> 00:36:30,479
And why was she going to Los Angeles?
503
00:36:30,564 --> 00:36:32,898
And where'd she come from
in the first place?
504
00:36:32,983 --> 00:36:34,775
The only thing I knew about her
was her name.
505
00:36:35,777 --> 00:36:37,361
Not that it made any difference.
506
00:36:37,445 --> 00:36:39,738
A few hours more and we'd be in Hollywood.
507
00:36:39,823 --> 00:36:42,241
I'd forget where I parked the car
and look up Sue.
508
00:36:43,118 --> 00:36:45,286
This nightmare of being a dead man
would be over.
509
00:36:46,121 --> 00:36:48,831
Who this dame was, well,
it was no business of mine.
510
00:36:48,915 --> 00:36:52,918
Where did you leave his body?
Where did you leave the owner of this car?
511
00:36:53,003 --> 00:36:54,712
You're not fooling anyone.
512
00:36:55,297 --> 00:36:58,173
This buggy belongs to a guy named Haskell.
That's not you, mister.
513
00:36:58,258 --> 00:37:01,343
You're out of your mind. That's my name.
Charles Haskell. I can prove it.
514
00:37:01,428 --> 00:37:03,512
- Here's my driver's license.
- Save yourself the trouble, mister.
515
00:37:03,597 --> 00:37:05,848
Having Haskell's wallet
only makes it worse.
516
00:37:05,932 --> 00:37:08,017
It just so happens
I rode with Charlie Haskell
517
00:37:08,101 --> 00:37:09,685
all the way from Louisiana.
518
00:37:09,769 --> 00:37:11,854
He picked me up outside of Shreveport.
519
00:37:11,938 --> 00:37:13,564
- You rode...
- You heard me.
520
00:37:14,149 --> 00:37:15,983
[Al narrating] Then it all came back to me.
521
00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:18,652
All the talk about dueling
and scars and scratches.
522
00:37:19,613 --> 00:37:21,363
There was no doubt about it.
523
00:37:21,448 --> 00:37:23,949
Vera must be the woman
Haskell had mentioned.
524
00:37:24,034 --> 00:37:25,784
She must have passed me while I slept.
525
00:37:25,869 --> 00:37:28,871
Well? Well, I'm waiting.
526
00:37:28,955 --> 00:37:30,331
My goose was cooked.
527
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:32,082
She had me.
528
00:37:32,876 --> 00:37:34,668
That Haskell guy wasn't dead yet.
529
00:37:35,253 --> 00:37:38,172
He wasn't stretched out stiff and cold
in any Arizona gully.
530
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:41,425
He was sitting right there in the car,
laughing like mad while he haunted me.
531
00:37:43,345 --> 00:37:44,303
Well?
532
00:37:44,387 --> 00:37:47,514
There was nothing I could say.
It was her move.
533
00:37:48,224 --> 00:37:50,142
Vera, whatever her name was.
534
00:37:50,226 --> 00:37:52,478
It was just my luck
picking her up on the road.
535
00:37:53,313 --> 00:37:56,148
It couldn't have been Helen
or Mary or Evelyn or Ruth.
536
00:37:57,025 --> 00:37:59,526
It had to be the very last person
I should ever have met.
537
00:38:00,820 --> 00:38:01,820
That's life.
538
00:38:02,697 --> 00:38:05,491
Whichever way you turn,
fate sticks out a foot to trip you.
539
00:38:11,081 --> 00:38:13,457
I told her everything,
but she didn't believe my story.
540
00:38:13,541 --> 00:38:15,167
I should've saved my breath.
541
00:38:15,251 --> 00:38:17,670
That's the greatest cock-and-bull story
I ever heard.
542
00:38:17,754 --> 00:38:19,380
So he fell out of his car.
543
00:38:19,464 --> 00:38:21,507
Say, who do you think
you're talking to, a hick?
544
00:38:21,591 --> 00:38:23,592
Listen, mister. I've been around.
545
00:38:23,677 --> 00:38:27,054
And I know a wrong guy when I see one.
What'd you do, kiss him with a wrench?
546
00:38:27,138 --> 00:38:29,264
Now wait a minute.
What I told you was true.
547
00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:30,891
You see, that's why I had to do it.
548
00:38:30,976 --> 00:38:33,352
You think I killed him.
Well, the cops would've thought so too.
549
00:38:33,436 --> 00:38:35,187
Yeah, well maybe they still think so.
550
00:38:36,106 --> 00:38:38,482
What makes you so sure
I'll shut up about this?
551
00:38:38,566 --> 00:38:41,318
Vera, I'm innocent.
Give me a break, will you?
552
00:38:42,696 --> 00:38:44,488
It won't do me any good
having you pinched.
553
00:38:44,572 --> 00:38:46,115
The cops are no friends of mine.
554
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:49,076
Now, if there was a reward...
But there isn't.
555
00:38:49,703 --> 00:38:51,912
- Thanks.
- Don't thank me yet.
556
00:38:51,997 --> 00:38:55,332
I'm not through with you by a long shot.
Let's see that roll.
557
00:39:02,090 --> 00:39:03,674
Is that all Haskell had?
558
00:39:03,758 --> 00:39:05,509
- Isn't it enough?
- No, I thought he had more.
559
00:39:05,593 --> 00:39:07,845
Not that I know of. You can search me
if you think I'm holding out on you.
560
00:39:07,929 --> 00:39:09,596
Well, maybe I will at that.
561
00:39:09,681 --> 00:39:11,807
He told me he was gonna bet $3,000
562
00:39:11,891 --> 00:39:14,560
on a horse named Paradisiacal
on Wednesday at Santa Anita.
563
00:39:14,644 --> 00:39:16,979
- He was stringing you along. He meant 300.
- Maybe.
564
00:39:17,063 --> 00:39:20,357
Sure. Three bucks, 300.
He was a piece of cheese, a big blowhard.
565
00:39:20,442 --> 00:39:23,277
Listen, mister. Don't try and tell me
anything about Charlie Haskell.
566
00:39:23,361 --> 00:39:25,279
Remember, I knew him better than you did.
567
00:39:25,363 --> 00:39:28,073
Okay, then you knew he was a four-flusher.
That explains the three-grand bet.
568
00:39:28,158 --> 00:39:30,576
I'm not so sure
he didn't have that three grand.
569
00:39:30,660 --> 00:39:34,121
Why should I believe you?
You got all the earmarks of a cheap crook.
570
00:39:34,205 --> 00:39:35,622
- Now, wait a minute.
- Shut up.
571
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:37,207
You're a cheap crook and you killed him.
572
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:39,418
For two cents,
I'd change my mind and turn you in.
573
00:39:39,502 --> 00:39:40,794
I don't like you!
574
00:39:40,879 --> 00:39:43,338
- All right, all right. Don't get sore.
- I'm not getting sore.
575
00:39:43,423 --> 00:39:45,507
But just remember who's boss around here.
576
00:39:45,592 --> 00:39:47,134
If you shut up
and don't give me any arguments,
577
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:48,677
you'll have nothing to worry about.
578
00:39:48,762 --> 00:39:50,512
But if you act wise, well, mister,
579
00:39:50,597 --> 00:39:53,182
you'll pop into jail so fast
it'll give you the bends.
580
00:39:53,266 --> 00:39:55,059
- I'm not arguing.
- Well, see that you don't.
581
00:39:55,143 --> 00:39:56,477
You know, as crooked as you look,
582
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:59,605
I'd hate to see a fella as young as you
wind up sniffing that perfume
583
00:39:59,689 --> 00:40:01,482
that Arizona hands out free to murderers.
584
00:40:01,566 --> 00:40:03,233
- I'm not a murderer.
- Of course you're not.
585
00:40:03,318 --> 00:40:04,693
Haskell knocked his own head off.
586
00:40:04,778 --> 00:40:06,278
He fell. That's how it happened,
just like I told you.
587
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:08,530
Sure, and then he made you a present
of his belongings.
588
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:10,324
- I explained why...
- Oh, skip it.
589
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:13,118
Doesn't make a difference one way
or another. I'm not a mourner.
590
00:40:13,203 --> 00:40:15,412
I liked Haskell even less than I like you.
591
00:40:15,955 --> 00:40:17,372
Yeah, I saw what you did to him.
592
00:40:17,457 --> 00:40:19,541
- What do you mean?
- Those scratches on his wrists.
593
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:20,959
Sure, I scratched him.
594
00:40:21,961 --> 00:40:23,128
I'll say you did.
595
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:26,673
So your idea was
to drive the car a little way,
596
00:40:26,758 --> 00:40:28,967
maybe into San Bernardino,
and then leave it.
597
00:40:29,052 --> 00:40:30,385
You weren't gonna sell it?
598
00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:33,597
Sell it? You think I'm crazy?
Somebody else's car?
599
00:40:33,681 --> 00:40:36,266
All I wanna do is leave it somewhere
and forget I ever saw it.
600
00:40:36,351 --> 00:40:39,269
Not only don't you have any scruples,
you don't have any brains.
601
00:40:39,354 --> 00:40:42,022
- I don't get you.
- Maybe it's a good thing you met me.
602
00:40:42,107 --> 00:40:44,983
You would of got yourself caught, sure.
Why, you dope.
603
00:40:45,068 --> 00:40:48,362
Don't you know a deserted automobile
always rates an investigation?
604
00:40:48,696 --> 00:40:49,863
Huh?
605
00:40:49,948 --> 00:40:52,783
Look. The cops find a car.
Then they get curious.
606
00:40:52,867 --> 00:40:54,493
They wonder where the owner is.
607
00:40:54,577 --> 00:40:57,996
So, all right, they don't trace Haskell.
They trace you.
608
00:40:58,206 --> 00:40:59,790
I never thought of that.
609
00:40:59,874 --> 00:41:02,626
The only safe way to get rid of the car
is to sell it to a dealer,
610
00:41:02,710 --> 00:41:04,253
get it registered under a new name.
611
00:41:04,754 --> 00:41:06,004
Say, stop at the next store.
612
00:41:06,089 --> 00:41:08,882
I wanna get a bottle and do some shopping
before we hit LA.
613
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:12,219
Okay. Soon as we find a place,
I'll drop you off and pick you up later.
614
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:14,429
Nothin' doin'. You're coming in too.
615
00:41:14,514 --> 00:41:17,349
From now on,
you and I are like the Siamese twins.
616
00:41:17,433 --> 00:41:19,434
Have it your way,
but I don't get the point.
617
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:21,687
The point is I don't want you to get lost.
618
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:23,397
I'm not gonna beat it,
if that's what you're afraid of.
619
00:41:23,481 --> 00:41:24,648
I'll say you're not.
620
00:41:24,732 --> 00:41:27,568
Well, I'm gonna see that you sell this car
so you don't get caught.
621
00:41:27,652 --> 00:41:31,446
Thanks. Of course, your interest
wouldn't be financial, would it?
622
00:41:31,531 --> 00:41:33,699
You wouldn't want
a small percentage of the profits?
623
00:41:34,284 --> 00:41:37,202
Well, now that you insist,
how can I refuse?
624
00:41:37,287 --> 00:41:38,912
A hundred percent'll do.
625
00:41:38,997 --> 00:41:40,873
Fine. I'm relieved.
626
00:41:40,957 --> 00:41:43,208
I thought for a moment
you were gonna take it all.
627
00:41:43,293 --> 00:41:44,710
I don't want to be a hog.
628
00:41:46,588 --> 00:41:48,672
[Al narrating] A few hours later,
we were in Hollywood.
629
00:41:49,090 --> 00:41:51,466
I was recognizing places
Sue had written about.
630
00:41:52,051 --> 00:41:55,012
It struck me that,
far from being at the end of the trip,
631
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:58,098
there was a greater distance between Sue
and me than when I started out.
632
00:41:59,434 --> 00:42:02,060
Vera wasn't kidding
with that Siamese twins crack.
633
00:42:02,687 --> 00:42:06,106
She rented a little apartment
as Mrs. Charles Haskell.
634
00:42:07,025 --> 00:42:10,110
When I objected to this, she explained
that it was on account of the car.
635
00:42:10,612 --> 00:42:12,154
A dealer might think something was funny
636
00:42:12,238 --> 00:42:14,531
if he called and found
we were using different names.
637
00:42:19,704 --> 00:42:21,538
- Home, sweet home.
- Yeah.
638
00:42:22,457 --> 00:42:23,498
Not bad, either.
639
00:42:31,466 --> 00:42:33,842
In case there's any doubt in your mind,
I'll take the bedroom.
640
00:42:34,302 --> 00:42:35,177
Yeah.
641
00:42:36,471 --> 00:42:37,846
Sure is stuffy in here.
642
00:42:45,980 --> 00:42:47,689
- Keep the window shut.
- Okay.
643
00:42:50,026 --> 00:42:53,487
The old crow downstairs said
there's a folding bed behind this door.
644
00:42:59,535 --> 00:43:00,702
You know how to work it?
645
00:43:04,457 --> 00:43:05,540
I invented it.
646
00:43:09,504 --> 00:43:11,630
- Some joint.
- One can't have everything.
647
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,387
I'm first in the bathtub.
648
00:43:19,180 --> 00:43:22,140
I don't know why,
but I figured you would be.
649
00:43:31,985 --> 00:43:35,570
Boy, oh, boy. [sighs]
It sure feels good to be clean again.
650
00:43:36,948 --> 00:43:38,407
I must be ten pounds lighter.
651
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:40,450
You must be.
652
00:43:40,535 --> 00:43:42,077
[saxophone playing]
653
00:43:42,161 --> 00:43:45,372
Well, hitchin' rides isn't exactly the way
you keep your schoolgirl complexion.
654
00:43:49,585 --> 00:43:51,712
I wish that guy with the sax
would give up.
655
00:43:53,089 --> 00:43:54,423
It gets on my nerves.
656
00:43:56,509 --> 00:43:57,509
Forget it.
657
00:44:00,138 --> 00:44:01,179
Have a drink.
658
00:44:02,390 --> 00:44:04,141
Aren't you afraid
I'm gonna take you up on it?
659
00:44:06,269 --> 00:44:08,562
If I didn't wanna give you a drink,
I wouldn't have offered it.
660
00:44:09,731 --> 00:44:12,983
Why be a sorehead, Roberts?
You got yourself into this thing.
661
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:15,902
You should be grateful
I'm not turning you in.
662
00:44:16,904 --> 00:44:19,114
Why, if I wasn't regular,
you'd be in the pen this minute
663
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:22,284
being photographed, fingerprinted,
and being pushed around by the cops.
664
00:44:23,077 --> 00:44:25,620
So cheer up. Get rid of that long puss.
665
00:44:27,874 --> 00:44:29,666
Or is your conscience bothering you?
666
00:44:34,672 --> 00:44:35,505
No.
667
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:37,382
It isn't.
668
00:44:37,467 --> 00:44:39,468
Swell. That's the spirit.
669
00:44:41,012 --> 00:44:43,180
He's dead,
and no moaning around will bring him back.
670
00:44:46,684 --> 00:44:50,312
Anyway, I never could understand this worrying
about something that's over and done with.
671
00:44:50,396 --> 00:44:52,439
Now look, Vera.
For the last time, I didn't kill him.
672
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:53,982
Haskell was a sick man.
673
00:44:54,067 --> 00:44:56,109
Maybe he was dead before he fell
out of the car. I don't know.
674
00:44:56,194 --> 00:44:58,403
Sure, sure. He died of old age.
675
00:44:59,364 --> 00:45:00,364
All right.
676
00:45:01,324 --> 00:45:02,824
So if it'll make you sociable...
677
00:45:04,577 --> 00:45:05,827
you didn't kill him.
678
00:45:16,464 --> 00:45:17,297
Thanks.
679
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:31,186
- We're outta liquor, Roberts.
- Yeah.
680
00:45:32,313 --> 00:45:35,440
Too bad.
I felt like getting tight tonight.
681
00:45:35,525 --> 00:45:37,567
Well, I think you succeeded.
682
00:45:37,652 --> 00:45:40,737
- Am I tight?
- As a prima donna's corset.
683
00:45:40,822 --> 00:45:42,197
- That's good.
- [glass clatters]
684
00:45:42,281 --> 00:45:44,074
I wanted to get tight.
685
00:45:44,158 --> 00:45:46,785
Why? What have you got to get tight about?
686
00:45:46,869 --> 00:45:49,246
Oh, I don't know. A few things.
687
00:45:50,123 --> 00:45:50,956
[Al] Huh.
688
00:45:52,583 --> 00:45:54,042
You should have my worries.
689
00:45:54,127 --> 00:45:56,670
If I had your troubles, I'd stay sober.
690
00:45:56,754 --> 00:45:58,380
And I've got the key to that door.
691
00:46:01,926 --> 00:46:04,678
Yeah. Maybe you're right.
692
00:46:04,762 --> 00:46:06,388
I'm always right.
693
00:46:07,723 --> 00:46:10,183
You know, I don't like your attitude,
Roberts.
694
00:46:10,268 --> 00:46:12,018
Well, there's a lot of things I don't like.
695
00:46:13,479 --> 00:46:14,813
Say...
696
00:46:17,191 --> 00:46:19,276
But life's like a ball game.
697
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,111
You got to take a swing
at whatever comes along
698
00:46:21,195 --> 00:46:23,613
before you wake up
and find it's the ninth inning.
699
00:46:24,532 --> 00:46:25,782
Bet you read that somewhere.
700
00:46:25,867 --> 00:46:29,703
That's the trouble with you, Roberts.
All you do is bellyache.
701
00:46:30,788 --> 00:46:35,500
You could have taken it easy and,
well, try and make the best of things.
702
00:46:35,585 --> 00:46:38,378
But maybe that's what's wrong
with the whole world.
703
00:46:38,463 --> 00:46:40,297
Get the professor.
704
00:46:40,381 --> 00:46:43,133
People knock themselves out
trying to buck fate.
705
00:46:43,217 --> 00:46:46,386
Now take you, for instance.
You're lucky to be alive.
706
00:46:46,471 --> 00:46:49,055
Why, suppose Haskell had pulled open
your door?
707
00:46:49,140 --> 00:46:51,850
You'd be playing a harp now.
Think of that.
708
00:46:53,603 --> 00:46:56,855
You think of it. I'm tired of thinking.
709
00:46:56,939 --> 00:46:59,816
There's plenty of people dying this minute
710
00:46:59,901 --> 00:47:02,402
that would give anything
to trade places with you.
711
00:47:04,363 --> 00:47:05,989
I know what I'm talking about.
712
00:47:07,033 --> 00:47:10,744
I'm not so sure.
At least they know they're done for.
713
00:47:10,828 --> 00:47:13,580
They don't just sweat blood
wondering if they are.
714
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:16,750
Your philosophy stinks, pal.
715
00:47:18,002 --> 00:47:21,796
We all know we're gonna kick off someday.
It's only a question of when.
716
00:47:23,591 --> 00:47:26,551
But what got us on this subject anyway?
717
00:47:26,636 --> 00:47:28,553
We'll be discussing politics next.
718
00:47:29,388 --> 00:47:30,472
Yeah.
719
00:47:32,058 --> 00:47:33,433
Where'd you hide the butts?
720
00:47:34,310 --> 00:47:35,936
On the table, sucker.
721
00:47:43,611 --> 00:47:47,113
[Al narrating] We bored each other with
conversation for a couple of hours longer.
722
00:47:47,198 --> 00:47:50,408
Every five minutes, one of us was wishing
we had another bottle or a radio
723
00:47:50,493 --> 00:47:52,118
or something to read.
724
00:47:53,538 --> 00:47:55,247
Then finally we ran out of chat.
725
00:47:56,207 --> 00:47:57,499
I know it's only eleven o'clock,
726
00:47:57,583 --> 00:48:00,085
but I want to get up early
and make the rounds to the used car lots.
727
00:48:00,169 --> 00:48:03,088
No hurry about that.
We got all the time in the world.
728
00:48:03,172 --> 00:48:05,257
Maybe you have, but if you think
I want to stay cooped up in this place
729
00:48:05,341 --> 00:48:06,925
any longer than I have to, you're batty.
730
00:48:07,009 --> 00:48:10,262
It's not a bad place. Pay plenty
for diggings like this in New York.
731
00:48:10,346 --> 00:48:12,347
I wouldn't like it if it was the Ritz.
732
00:48:12,431 --> 00:48:14,849
[coughs]
733
00:48:16,602 --> 00:48:18,144
Rotten liquor. [coughs]
734
00:48:18,229 --> 00:48:20,981
You got a mean cough.
Ought to do something about it.
735
00:48:21,065 --> 00:48:22,315
I'll be all right.
736
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,817
That's what Camille said.
737
00:48:24,527 --> 00:48:25,652
Who?
738
00:48:25,736 --> 00:48:27,195
Nobody you know.
739
00:48:30,908 --> 00:48:33,368
- Wasn't that the dame that died of consumption?
- Yeah.
740
00:48:34,704 --> 00:48:37,289
Wouldn't it be a break for you
if I did kick off.
741
00:48:37,373 --> 00:48:40,333
You'd be free
with all Haskell's dough and car.
742
00:48:40,418 --> 00:48:42,043
I don't want to see anybody die.
743
00:48:43,212 --> 00:48:44,921
Not even me?
744
00:48:45,006 --> 00:48:48,008
Especially not you. One person died on me.
745
00:48:48,092 --> 00:48:50,510
If you did, well, that's all I need.
746
00:48:52,388 --> 00:48:54,222
You don't like me, do you, Roberts?
747
00:48:55,933 --> 00:48:56,975
Like you?
748
00:48:58,352 --> 00:48:59,769
I love you.
749
00:49:01,022 --> 00:49:02,981
My favorite sport is being kept prisoner.
750
00:49:04,025 --> 00:49:07,485
After we sell the car, you can go to blazes
for all I care, but not until then.
751
00:49:14,910 --> 00:49:16,536
I'm going to bed.
752
00:49:24,962 --> 00:49:26,463
Good night, Roberts.
753
00:49:26,547 --> 00:49:29,549
Don't try and sneak away during the night.
All the doors are locked.
754
00:49:29,634 --> 00:49:33,136
Anyway, if I find you gone in the morning,
I'll notify the police.
755
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:35,889
- They'll pick you up.
- Don't worry. I know when I'm in a spot.
756
00:49:36,974 --> 00:49:40,935
Well, good night. I hope that portable
rack isn't too uncomfortable for you.
757
00:49:41,020 --> 00:49:43,146
Don't lose any sleep over it,
will you, Vera?
758
00:49:44,940 --> 00:49:47,025
[key scratching lock]
759
00:50:20,601 --> 00:50:21,935
[softly] CRestview...
760
00:50:23,813 --> 00:50:29,651
6... 5... 7,
761
00:50:29,735 --> 00:50:32,654
[whispers] 2... 3.
762
00:50:33,948 --> 00:50:35,073
Hello?
763
00:50:36,117 --> 00:50:37,117
Hello!
764
00:50:38,327 --> 00:50:39,411
Hello?
765
00:50:40,579 --> 00:50:41,746
Hello?
766
00:50:48,295 --> 00:50:51,881
No. Not yet, darling.
767
00:50:53,134 --> 00:50:54,509
Tomorrow.
768
00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:56,928
Maybe.
769
00:51:00,391 --> 00:51:01,891
[Al narrating] if this were fiction,
770
00:51:01,976 --> 00:51:05,562
I would fall in love with her, marry her,
and make a respectable woman of her,
771
00:51:05,646 --> 00:51:09,816
or else she'd make some supreme,
class-A sacrifice for me and die.
772
00:51:11,152 --> 00:51:13,361
Sue and I would ball a little
over her grave
773
00:51:13,446 --> 00:51:16,448
and make some crack about
"there's good in all of us."
774
00:51:16,532 --> 00:51:20,160
But Vera, unfortunately,
was just as rotten in the morning
775
00:51:20,244 --> 00:51:21,870
as she'd been the night before.
776
00:51:21,954 --> 00:51:23,455
[knocking]
777
00:51:23,539 --> 00:51:25,415
All right, all right, I'm coming.
778
00:51:25,499 --> 00:51:27,459
[Al] Look, Vera, it's almost noon.
779
00:51:29,003 --> 00:51:31,254
So what?
The dealers will be there all day.
780
00:51:31,338 --> 00:51:34,007
They'll be there all year too, but it
doesn't mean I'm gonna wait that long.
781
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:36,551
Shut up.
You're making noises like a husband.
782
00:51:39,180 --> 00:51:42,932
- Well, do I rate a whistle?
- You sure do, but let's go.
783
00:51:43,017 --> 00:51:46,519
Let's go, let's go. I spend 85 bucks
and two hours preparing bait,
784
00:51:46,604 --> 00:51:48,188
and all you can say is "Let's go."
785
00:51:48,272 --> 00:51:51,274
[sighs] Come on.
786
00:51:56,071 --> 00:51:58,698
We passed a few used car lots
last night down this way.
787
00:51:58,783 --> 00:52:00,784
What do you think
we can get for this heap?
788
00:52:00,868 --> 00:52:04,496
I don't know. Plenty.
You just let me handle everything.
789
00:52:04,580 --> 00:52:06,206
You think we can get $2,000?
790
00:52:06,290 --> 00:52:07,707
I don't know. But don't worry.
791
00:52:07,792 --> 00:52:10,126
I'll squeeze as much
out of this guy as I can.
792
00:52:10,211 --> 00:52:13,296
If I let it go cheap without a fight,
he might think we've stolen the car.
793
00:52:13,380 --> 00:52:17,675
And listen, don't make any slips
and call me Roberts. That'll cook us.
794
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,636
I don't need you to tell me that.
795
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:21,930
You better just sit by
and keep your mouth closed.
796
00:52:22,014 --> 00:52:24,015
Remember, we're both in the soup
if anything happens.
797
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:25,642
Forget it and drive.
798
00:52:25,726 --> 00:52:28,144
You're my wife... Vera Haskell.
799
00:52:28,229 --> 00:52:32,315
Look, after the deal's closed, let's go
back to that place on Hollywood Boulevard
800
00:52:32,399 --> 00:52:33,942
where I saw the fur jacket.
801
00:52:34,026 --> 00:52:35,235
I want to buy it.
802
00:52:35,319 --> 00:52:37,987
After the deal's closed,
I'm saying good-bye to you.
803
00:52:38,072 --> 00:52:41,491
That's right. I forgot.
I guess I'm getting kind of used to you.
804
00:52:42,743 --> 00:52:45,036
Well, that's a habit
you can start breaking.
805
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,455
Let's try this place
in the middle of the block.
806
00:52:53,671 --> 00:52:55,129
Good afternoon. What can I do for you?
807
00:52:55,214 --> 00:52:58,508
- We're interested in selling a car.
- If the price is right.
808
00:53:01,387 --> 00:53:05,473
Well, if it's in good mechanical condition,
it should blue book for about 1,600.
809
00:53:06,475 --> 00:53:07,892
Tony, take a look at this motor.
810
00:53:07,977 --> 00:53:10,228
1,600. Are you kidding?
811
00:53:14,108 --> 00:53:15,900
[car hood opening]
812
00:53:21,448 --> 00:53:23,283
Well, maybe 1,850.
813
00:53:23,367 --> 00:53:26,744
Before I let it go for 1,850, I'll wreck it
and collect the insurance first.
814
00:53:26,829 --> 00:53:27,912
[coughs]
815
00:53:31,375 --> 00:53:33,376
Lady, this motor's seen a lot of driving.
816
00:53:39,925 --> 00:53:43,219
[Al narrating] While the mechanic
inspected the car, we haggled.
817
00:53:43,721 --> 00:53:46,973
At last, when we were all worn out,
we hit a compromise...
818
00:53:47,057 --> 00:53:48,600
his price.
819
00:53:51,896 --> 00:53:53,104
Okay, it's a deal.
820
00:53:53,188 --> 00:53:56,524
- Come in, we'll sign the papers.
- I have the ownership papers here with me.
821
00:53:56,609 --> 00:53:59,319
Look, Vera, in the meantime,
will you clean out the dash compartment?
822
00:53:59,403 --> 00:54:02,196
- There may be some stuff in it.
- All right, darling.
823
00:54:04,325 --> 00:54:06,534
1,850 bucks.
824
00:54:06,619 --> 00:54:08,244
That dirty cr...
825
00:54:15,544 --> 00:54:17,420
- Mm, New York, huh?
- Yeah.
826
00:54:17,504 --> 00:54:20,757
- But you bought the car in Miami?
- Yeah.
827
00:54:20,841 --> 00:54:22,467
Well, now, let's see about the insurance.
828
00:54:22,551 --> 00:54:24,552
We can either have it transferred
or canceled.
829
00:54:24,637 --> 00:54:27,263
Uh, what kind of insurance do you have,
Mr. Haskell?
830
00:54:28,432 --> 00:54:31,559
Well, uh, aren't all the papers there?
831
00:54:33,729 --> 00:54:37,857
I don't see any. Surely you know what type
of insurance you carry on the car.
832
00:54:37,942 --> 00:54:39,442
The name of the company?
833
00:54:40,277 --> 00:54:41,486
Yeah, but, uh...
834
00:54:41,570 --> 00:54:43,321
Well, if you'll just tell me
the name of the company,
835
00:54:43,405 --> 00:54:45,114
I'd be very glad to take care
of all the details.
836
00:54:45,199 --> 00:54:46,324
Well...
837
00:54:46,408 --> 00:54:48,409
- Did you sign the papers yet?
- Not yet.
838
00:54:48,494 --> 00:54:50,536
Well, don't. We're not selling the car.
839
00:54:50,621 --> 00:54:52,538
- Well, wait a minute, Mrs. Haskell...
- Come on, darling.
840
00:54:52,623 --> 00:54:55,917
- What's the matter? Change your mind?
- Yes. I'm sorry. I guess I have.
841
00:54:56,001 --> 00:54:57,377
- But, Vera...
- Let's go.
842
00:55:03,384 --> 00:55:06,636
You got me out of a tight spot, Vera,
but I still don't understand all this.
843
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:09,722
You will in a minute.
I almost threw away a gold mine.
844
00:55:09,807 --> 00:55:13,726
1,850 isn't to be sneezed at. The car
doesn't book for as much as I thought.
845
00:55:13,811 --> 00:55:15,478
We're not selling the car.
846
00:55:15,562 --> 00:55:17,438
You want to keep it?
Now wait a minute, Vera.
847
00:55:17,523 --> 00:55:20,608
You said yourself I wouldn't be safe
until the car was in someone else's name.
848
00:55:20,693 --> 00:55:22,360
I'd like to be free of this mess
when I go.
849
00:55:22,444 --> 00:55:24,612
That's just it, Roberts. You're not going.
850
00:55:25,531 --> 00:55:27,365
- [sighs]
- There's a drive-in at the next corner.
851
00:55:27,449 --> 00:55:30,201
Pull in there and we'll get a bite to eat
and I'll explain.
852
00:55:30,285 --> 00:55:32,453
What is this,
another one of your brilliant ideas?
853
00:55:38,794 --> 00:55:41,671
- Hello. May I take your order?
- Make mine a ham sandwich and coffee.
854
00:55:41,755 --> 00:55:44,340
- And for you, sir?
- Oh, I don't care. The same.
855
00:55:46,510 --> 00:55:47,719
Thank you.
856
00:55:52,224 --> 00:55:55,226
Get this, Vera,
I've been pretty patient so far.
857
00:55:55,310 --> 00:55:57,311
I've done everything you asked me to do,
but no more.
858
00:55:57,396 --> 00:55:59,564
- Shut up.
- You've taken Haskell's money.
859
00:55:59,648 --> 00:56:01,524
And you can have the dough we get
from selling the car,
860
00:56:01,608 --> 00:56:03,192
but you're not gonna keep me a prisoner.
861
00:56:03,277 --> 00:56:05,069
It's a good thing I bought the paper.
Look at that.
862
00:56:05,154 --> 00:56:07,030
- Vera, I'm in no mood...
- Read that.
863
00:56:17,708 --> 00:56:19,292
- No.
- Yes.
864
00:56:19,376 --> 00:56:20,960
- No, I won't do it.
- Yes, you will.
865
00:56:21,045 --> 00:56:23,254
You think I'm crazy.
It's impossible, I tell ya.
866
00:56:24,131 --> 00:56:25,173
Excuse me.
867
00:56:30,637 --> 00:56:32,138
Blow the horn when you're through.
868
00:56:35,350 --> 00:56:38,561
No one could possibly get away with an act
like that. Be wise to me in a minute.
869
00:56:38,645 --> 00:56:39,812
Don't be yellow.
870
00:56:39,897 --> 00:56:42,690
You look enough like him.
The same coloring and the same build.
871
00:56:42,775 --> 00:56:44,358
See how his clothes fit ya?
872
00:56:44,443 --> 00:56:46,235
No kidding. You almost
had me fooled for a while.
873
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:47,528
Oh, grow up, Vera.
874
00:56:47,613 --> 00:56:50,406
Don't you think a father knows his own
son? There must be other relatives.
875
00:56:50,491 --> 00:56:53,326
The father won't have to know ya.
We'll wait till he gives up the ghost.
876
00:56:53,410 --> 00:56:55,411
He's an old geezer
and he won't pull through.
877
00:56:55,496 --> 00:56:59,373
And as far as the relatives are concerned,
they haven't seen you in 15 or 20 years.
878
00:57:00,876 --> 00:57:02,585
- Eat.
- I'm not hungry.
879
00:57:03,253 --> 00:57:06,130
- And I won't do it.
- It's not as tough as it sounds.
880
00:57:06,215 --> 00:57:08,049
Remember, you've got
all kinds of identification...
881
00:57:08,133 --> 00:57:09,133
his car, letters, license...
882
00:57:09,218 --> 00:57:11,761
I could never get away with it.
It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
883
00:57:11,845 --> 00:57:13,888
The old boy has scads of dough.
884
00:57:13,972 --> 00:57:17,141
Look in the paper there. Personal fortune
assessed at over 15 million.
885
00:57:17,226 --> 00:57:18,684
He'll leave plenty, I tell ya.
886
00:57:18,769 --> 00:57:20,937
Maybe he cut off his son.
How do we know?
887
00:57:21,021 --> 00:57:23,606
It's out, Vera.
I won't have anything to do with it.
888
00:57:24,817 --> 00:57:27,068
I think you will.
889
00:57:27,152 --> 00:57:30,696
Look, Vera, I'll do anything
within reason, but not that.
890
00:57:30,781 --> 00:57:32,698
So forget it or find yourself another stooge.
891
00:57:32,783 --> 00:57:34,033
You sap!
892
00:57:34,785 --> 00:57:36,911
You'll be fixed for the rest of your life
as Charlie Haskell.
893
00:57:36,995 --> 00:57:40,081
You can take your inheritance and go away.
No more worrying about the rent.
894
00:57:40,165 --> 00:57:42,291
No sweating, scheming, wondering
where your next meal's coming from!
895
00:57:42,376 --> 00:57:43,417
Think about that, Roberts!
896
00:57:43,502 --> 00:57:46,295
Vera, please. You're talking too loud.
897
00:57:46,713 --> 00:57:49,298
On this I'm splitting 50-50 with you.
Sure, why not?
898
00:57:49,383 --> 00:57:51,050
We're both alike.
Both born in the same gutter.
899
00:57:51,135 --> 00:57:52,301
Now take it easy, Vera.
900
00:57:52,386 --> 00:57:54,637
There's people around here.
You don't know what you're talking...
901
00:57:55,806 --> 00:57:59,684
We'll wait till we read that old man
Haskell's dead. Then you show up.
902
00:57:59,768 --> 00:58:02,061
Like you read in New York
that he was sick.
903
00:58:02,146 --> 00:58:04,772
No! Suppose he doesn't die?
904
00:58:04,857 --> 00:58:06,941
He will. I know he will.
Something tells me.
905
00:58:09,611 --> 00:58:12,405
[Al narrating] But as much as I insisted
I would have no part of her scheme,
906
00:58:12,489 --> 00:58:14,448
Vera was taking it for granted I would.
907
00:58:16,535 --> 00:58:19,954
Neither of us had our mind on the cards
as we played that night.
908
00:58:20,038 --> 00:58:23,207
I knew we were just trying to kill time
between newspaper editions.
909
00:58:24,042 --> 00:58:26,002
This was a deathwatch for Vera.
910
00:58:27,129 --> 00:58:28,713
Maybe it was for me too.
911
00:58:28,797 --> 00:58:32,383
Don't you realize if I'm caught they'll want
to know where I got the car and stuff?
912
00:58:32,467 --> 00:58:35,595
- Then they'll have me on a murder charge.
- If you're smart, you won't get caught.
913
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:37,054
I knock with seven.
914
00:58:37,139 --> 00:58:39,348
And if I'm caught,
don't you realize you'll be out too?
915
00:58:39,808 --> 00:58:42,935
Eighteen points. That gives me 30.
916
00:58:44,188 --> 00:58:45,438
How will I be out?
917
00:58:45,522 --> 00:58:47,982
You'll be out $1,850 we would have gotten
on the car.
918
00:58:48,066 --> 00:58:49,483
Really, Vera, you'd be an awful chump
919
00:58:49,568 --> 00:58:51,569
if you threw away all that dough
on a dizzy long shot.
920
00:58:51,653 --> 00:58:52,904
Let me sell the bus tomorrow.
921
00:58:52,988 --> 00:58:54,655
With the money it'll bring
and what you've already got,
922
00:58:54,740 --> 00:58:56,449
a clever kid like you
can run it up in no time.
923
00:58:56,533 --> 00:58:59,035
- Then we'd both be in the clear.
- I'll be in the clear anyway.
924
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:00,912
Maybe. Maybe.
925
00:59:00,996 --> 00:59:02,580
But if I got caught...
926
00:59:03,540 --> 00:59:06,083
- I'd get good and sore at you, you know.
- You mean you'd squeal?
927
00:59:06,168 --> 00:59:08,377
- Well, no, not squeal exactly...
- Never mind what you meant!
928
00:59:11,048 --> 00:59:14,425
Even if you did tell the cops
I was in on it with you,
929
00:59:14,509 --> 00:59:15,885
what could they do to me?
930
00:59:16,929 --> 00:59:19,347
They might give me the same medicine
they gave you.
931
00:59:19,431 --> 00:59:21,140
- Yeah.
- A rope.
932
00:59:23,644 --> 00:59:25,770
But I'm on my way anyhow.
933
00:59:27,731 --> 00:59:29,732
All they'll be doing will be rushing it.
934
00:59:30,359 --> 00:59:32,818
All right. But think of the 1,850 you'd lose.
935
00:59:32,903 --> 00:59:35,655
You'd kick yourself along the block
if you let that get away from you.
936
00:59:35,739 --> 00:59:38,658
I'll take the chance. Want another drink?
937
00:59:38,742 --> 00:59:41,744
You're being a goon. That's the way
people wind up behind the eight ball.
938
00:59:41,828 --> 00:59:44,330
Once they get a few dollars,
they become greedy and want more.
939
00:59:44,414 --> 00:59:45,706
My, my.
940
00:59:45,791 --> 00:59:46,791
- Caesar.
- Who?
941
00:59:46,875 --> 00:59:49,585
You know, that Roman general?
He got his for being greedy.
942
00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:52,838
He wasn't satisfied.
So the final windup was he took the count.
943
00:59:52,923 --> 00:59:55,299
A couple of days ago you didn't have a dime.
944
00:59:55,384 --> 00:59:58,219
Why, you were so broke
you couldn't pay cash for a postage stamp.
945
00:59:58,303 --> 01:00:01,347
Now you've got almost $700,
with 1,850 in the offing.
946
01:00:01,431 --> 01:00:03,099
Take my advice. Don't try for more.
947
01:00:03,183 --> 01:00:05,768
I'm tired of this game.
Let's have some blackjack.
948
01:00:05,852 --> 01:00:06,686
Play solitaire.
949
01:00:06,770 --> 01:00:09,313
- I will, if that's the way you feel about it.
- That's the way I feel about it.
950
01:00:09,398 --> 01:00:11,607
Getting sore and throwing things
won't help much, Roberts.
951
01:00:11,692 --> 01:00:15,111
I'm merely doing you a favor. I help you out of
a jam by keepin' my mouth shut.
952
01:00:15,195 --> 01:00:18,072
I show you how to make some soft money,
and what thanks do I get?
953
01:00:18,156 --> 01:00:19,156
- Thanks?
- Sure.
954
01:00:19,241 --> 01:00:21,659
Or would you rather I called the cops and told
them you killed a man and stole his money?
955
01:00:21,743 --> 01:00:22,827
- I didn't kill anybody.
- Yes, you did.
956
01:00:22,911 --> 01:00:25,705
- No, I didn't. You know I didn't.
- All right, then.
957
01:00:28,542 --> 01:00:30,251
Suppose I call the cops?
958
01:00:30,335 --> 01:00:32,920
If you're innocent,
what do you got to be scared of?
959
01:00:33,005 --> 01:00:36,590
Okay, call 'em, you mutt. Go ahead and call 'em.
See if I care.
960
01:00:36,675 --> 01:00:39,552
- At least they'll give me a square deal.
- You want me to call 'em?
961
01:00:39,636 --> 01:00:43,597
You heard me. But I'm warning ya.
If I'm pinched, I'll swear you were in on it.
962
01:00:43,682 --> 01:00:46,976
I'll say that you helped me.
If I'm frying, I'll get even with you.
963
01:00:47,060 --> 01:00:48,686
You wouldn't dare. You're chicken!
964
01:00:48,770 --> 01:00:52,815
Yeah? Then try it and see.
Call 'em. Yeah.
965
01:00:53,650 --> 01:00:55,067
Okay, I will.
966
01:00:57,112 --> 01:01:00,489
[dialing]
967
01:01:07,706 --> 01:01:09,915
Information.
968
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,835
I want the number
of the Hollywood police station.
969
01:01:14,713 --> 01:01:16,756
Okay, I got it. Thanks.
970
01:01:17,966 --> 01:01:19,592
[phone hook clicks]
971
01:01:19,676 --> 01:01:21,677
- [dialing]
- Wait a minute, Vera. You wouldn't do that.
972
01:01:21,762 --> 01:01:23,721
Oh, wouldn't I? Give me that
and I'll show you if I would!
973
01:01:23,805 --> 01:01:25,681
Take it easy now. Let's talk this over.
974
01:01:25,766 --> 01:01:27,558
[Al narrating]
This was early in the evening.
975
01:01:27,642 --> 01:01:32,146
And the conversation, while hectic,
was at least pitched low.
976
01:01:32,230 --> 01:01:36,776
But as the minutes passed and more obstacles
to her plan popped into my head,
977
01:01:36,860 --> 01:01:38,486
the air got blue.
978
01:01:38,570 --> 01:01:41,822
Each word coming from our lips
cracked like a whip.
979
01:01:41,907 --> 01:01:45,785
I reminded her that as Charles Haskell
I didn't even know my mother's name,
980
01:01:45,869 --> 01:01:47,578
where I'd gone to school,
981
01:01:47,662 --> 01:01:49,413
the name of my best friend,
982
01:01:49,498 --> 01:01:51,415
whether I had an Aunt Emma or not,
983
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:54,794
my religion, and if I'd ever owned a dog.
984
01:01:54,878 --> 01:01:57,463
I didn't even know
what my middle initial stood for.
985
01:01:57,547 --> 01:02:00,925
I also pointed out that the real Haskell
had a scar on his forearm.
986
01:02:01,510 --> 01:02:03,302
His people never saw that scar.
987
01:02:03,387 --> 01:02:05,596
He told me he ran away
right after putting out the kid's eye.
988
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,140
Yeah, but his father knew he was cut.
There'd have to be some kind of mark.
989
01:02:08,225 --> 01:02:10,434
So what?
990
01:02:10,519 --> 01:02:14,438
The old man's dead or will be.
I hope by tomorrow morning's papers.
991
01:02:14,523 --> 01:02:18,025
Anyway, you could cut yourself
a little, couldn't ya?
992
01:02:19,027 --> 01:02:22,321
Boy, for that kind of dough,
I'd let you cut my leg off.
993
01:02:22,406 --> 01:02:23,989
You're drunk and you're crazy mad, Vera.
994
01:02:24,074 --> 01:02:26,033
Turn me in if you want to,
but I won't get mixed up in this.
995
01:02:26,118 --> 01:02:28,160
Besides, how do we know?
Haskell was such a phony.
996
01:02:28,245 --> 01:02:30,371
Maybe he wasn't the man's son at all.
Maybe he just dreamed it up.
997
01:02:30,455 --> 01:02:35,918
Well, dreaming or not, you won't be dreaming
when the law taps you on the shoulder.
998
01:02:36,002 --> 01:02:39,588
There's a cute little gas chamber
waiting for you, Roberts.
999
01:02:39,673 --> 01:02:43,134
And I hear extradition to Arizona's a cinch.
1000
01:02:43,218 --> 01:02:45,052
Where's that phone?
1001
01:02:45,137 --> 01:02:46,512
- Vera.
- Leave me alone!
1002
01:02:46,596 --> 01:02:50,057
- Vera!
- I wanna phone, call the police.
1003
01:02:50,767 --> 01:02:54,812
I hate you, you stinker.
You leave me alone!
1004
01:02:54,896 --> 01:02:57,106
I'll let you alone when you promise to leave
the phone where it is.
1005
01:02:57,190 --> 01:02:59,150
- You're drunk. You don't know what you're doing.
- You're hurting me.
1006
01:02:59,234 --> 01:03:00,860
Will you promise?
1007
01:03:00,944 --> 01:03:02,528
All right.
1008
01:03:07,492 --> 01:03:10,327
- You hurt me.
- I'm sorry, but...
1009
01:03:10,412 --> 01:03:13,372
- And it's hot in here! Open up a window!
- It's not hot!
1010
01:03:13,457 --> 01:03:16,125
Don't tell me!
Now do you do it or do I do it?
1011
01:03:18,086 --> 01:03:19,837
You're no gentleman, see?
1012
01:03:19,921 --> 01:03:23,299
Yeah. All right, I'll open up the window.
1013
01:03:26,428 --> 01:03:27,511
Vera!
1014
01:03:31,892 --> 01:03:34,643
Vera, open the door.
Please open the door.
1015
01:03:34,728 --> 01:03:36,854
Vera, open the door.
Don't use the phone. Listen to me.
1016
01:03:37,522 --> 01:03:40,983
I don't like you, Roberts.
You're no gentleman, see?
1017
01:03:41,067 --> 01:03:45,154
You hurt my hand,
and I'm gonna get even with you.
1018
01:03:45,238 --> 01:03:48,407
If you don't open the door,
I'm gonna kick it down, Vera.
1019
01:03:48,492 --> 01:03:51,368
Vera, don't call the cops.
Listen to me, I'll do anything you say.
1020
01:03:52,287 --> 01:03:53,746
Vera, let me in!
1021
01:03:55,207 --> 01:03:56,665
I'll break the phone!
1022
01:04:14,267 --> 01:04:17,269
[grunting]
1023
01:04:22,609 --> 01:04:23,943
Vera.
1024
01:04:34,579 --> 01:04:36,539
[Al narrating] The world is full of skeptics.
1025
01:04:37,290 --> 01:04:39,667
I know. I'm one myself.
1026
01:04:40,669 --> 01:04:43,712
In the Haskell business, how many of you
would believe he fell out of the car?
1027
01:04:43,797 --> 01:04:46,173
And now, after killing Vera
without really meaning to do it,
1028
01:04:46,258 --> 01:04:48,676
how many of you would believe
it wasn't premeditated?
1029
01:04:49,719 --> 01:04:53,264
In a jury room, every last man of you
would go down shouting
1030
01:04:53,348 --> 01:04:56,058
that she had me over a barrel
and my only out was force.
1031
01:04:58,103 --> 01:04:59,728
The room was still.
1032
01:05:00,730 --> 01:05:03,691
So quiet that for a while I'd wondered
if I'd suddenly gone deaf.
1033
01:05:04,484 --> 01:05:06,235
It was pure fear, of course.
1034
01:05:06,319 --> 01:05:08,195
And I was hysterical,
1035
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:09,989
but without making a sound.
1036
01:05:11,324 --> 01:05:14,285
Vera was dead, and I was her murderer.
1037
01:05:15,370 --> 01:05:19,873
Murderer. What an awful word that is.
But I'd become one.
1038
01:05:19,958 --> 01:05:22,042
I'd better not get caught.
1039
01:05:22,127 --> 01:05:24,628
What evidence there was around the place
had to be destroyed.
1040
01:05:24,713 --> 01:05:26,505
And from the looks of things, there was plenty.
1041
01:05:26,590 --> 01:05:28,299
Looking around the room at things we'd bought
1042
01:05:28,383 --> 01:05:30,801
was like looking into the faces of
a hundred people who'd seen us together
1043
01:05:30,885 --> 01:05:32,803
and who remembered me.
1044
01:05:32,887 --> 01:05:35,306
This was the kind of testimony
I couldn't rub out.
1045
01:05:36,808 --> 01:05:38,058
No.
1046
01:05:38,143 --> 01:05:41,312
I could burn clothes and hide bottles
for the next five years.
1047
01:05:41,396 --> 01:05:42,855
There'd always be witnesses.
1048
01:05:42,939 --> 01:05:44,732
The landlady for one.
She could identify me.
1049
01:05:44,816 --> 01:05:46,233
The car dealer, the waitress in the drive-in,
1050
01:05:46,318 --> 01:05:48,819
the girl in the dress shop,
and that guy in the liquor store.
1051
01:05:48,903 --> 01:05:50,696
They could all identify me.
1052
01:05:52,032 --> 01:05:55,868
I was cooked. Done for.
I had to get out of there.
1053
01:05:57,203 --> 01:05:59,330
While once I remained beside a dead body
1054
01:05:59,414 --> 01:06:02,416
planning carefully how to avoid
being accused of killing him,
1055
01:06:02,500 --> 01:06:04,752
this time I couldn't.
1056
01:06:04,836 --> 01:06:06,503
This time I was guilty.
1057
01:06:07,422 --> 01:06:09,923
I knew it. Felt it.
1058
01:06:10,967 --> 01:06:13,218
I was like a guy suffering from shock.
1059
01:06:13,303 --> 01:06:14,970
Things were whirling around in my head.
1060
01:06:15,055 --> 01:06:17,890
I couldn't make myself think right.
1061
01:06:17,974 --> 01:06:21,435
All I could think of was the guy with
the saxophone and what he was playing.
1062
01:06:22,437 --> 01:06:24,021
It wasn't a love song anymore.
1063
01:06:24,814 --> 01:06:26,565
It was a dirge.
1064
01:07:12,028 --> 01:07:14,113
[jukebox: up-tempo band music]
1065
01:07:14,197 --> 01:07:16,615
[Al narrating]
But my problems weren't solved.
1066
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:19,493
I had to stay away from New York
for all time.
1067
01:07:20,328 --> 01:07:23,622
Because Al Roberts was listed as dead
and had to stay dead.
1068
01:07:24,332 --> 01:07:25,999
And I could never go back to Hollywood.
1069
01:07:26,835 --> 01:07:28,794
Someone might recognize me as Haskell.
1070
01:07:30,130 --> 01:07:33,048
- Then, too, there was Sue.
- [music stops]
1071
01:07:34,467 --> 01:07:37,803
I could never go to her with a thing
like this hanging over my head.
1072
01:07:39,180 --> 01:07:42,474
All I could do was pray she'd be happy.
1073
01:07:53,486 --> 01:07:57,656
I was in Bakersfield before I read
that Vera's body was discovered.
1074
01:07:57,741 --> 01:08:01,368
And that the police were looking for Haskell
in connection with his wife's murder.
1075
01:08:02,871 --> 01:08:04,413
Isn't that a laugh?
1076
01:08:05,081 --> 01:08:09,001
Haskell got me into this mess
and Haskell was getting me out of it.
1077
01:08:09,085 --> 01:08:11,170
The police were searching for a dead man.
1078
01:08:14,674 --> 01:08:16,884
I keep trying to forget what happened...
1079
01:08:18,261 --> 01:08:22,973
and wonder what my life might have been
if that car of Haskell's hadn't stopped.
1080
01:08:24,768 --> 01:08:26,935
But one thing I don't have to wonder about.
1081
01:08:28,146 --> 01:08:29,605
I know.
1082
01:08:31,107 --> 01:08:34,234
Someday a car will stop to pick me up
that I never thumbed.
1083
01:08:38,990 --> 01:08:39,865
Yes.
1084
01:08:40,742 --> 01:08:44,411
Fate... or some mysterious force
1085
01:08:44,496 --> 01:08:47,414
can put the finger on you or me
1086
01:08:47,499 --> 01:08:49,500
for no good reason at all.

Al Roberts, an unemployed piano player, hitches a ride, arriving at a roadside diner in Reno, Nevada. Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.
Al recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.
In Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.
Al realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.
Al crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.
In Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.
Back at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.
Al gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of "his wife." Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest.

00:02:41,245 --> 00:02:44,163
Well, here we are.
I turn down here at the next block.
2
00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,874
Thanks, mister. I'll get off there.
3
00:02:51,088 --> 00:02:53,297
[jukebox: up-tempo band music]
4
00:02:53,382 --> 00:02:56,384
- Want anything else?
- No.
5
00:02:56,468 --> 00:02:57,552
Hey, you.
6
00:03:00,556 --> 00:03:03,266
- Me?
- Yeah, you. Where ya heading?
7
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,686
- East.
- Too bad.
8
00:03:07,563 --> 00:03:10,439
I thought if you was headin' north,
I might be able to help you out.
9
00:03:10,524 --> 00:03:13,276
Pushing to Salt Lake,
and I don't like to ride alone at night.
10
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,028
I'm one of those guys that gotta talk
or I fall asleep.
11
00:03:16,113 --> 00:03:17,738
- Oh.
- So I gotta get my...
12
00:03:17,823 --> 00:03:20,157
My partner,
he's got Lou to keep him company.
13
00:03:20,242 --> 00:03:21,909
But I ain't got nobody at all.
14
00:03:21,994 --> 00:03:24,620
- Where ya comin' from?
- West.
15
00:03:24,705 --> 00:03:27,331
Yeah, sure, I know,
but where? LA?
16
00:03:27,416 --> 00:03:29,792
- Maybe.
- Got a cousin out in LA.
17
00:03:29,877 --> 00:03:31,586
- You don't say?
- Yeah, he's been out...
18
00:03:33,046 --> 00:03:34,505
You're not much of a talker, are ya?
19
00:03:34,590 --> 00:03:36,507
My mother taught me
never to speak to strangers.
20
00:03:36,592 --> 00:03:38,426
- Oh, a wise guy, huh?
- So what?
21
00:03:38,510 --> 00:03:42,430
Okay, okay. Don't get sore.
Just trying to be sociable, that's all.
22
00:03:43,891 --> 00:03:45,308
- Hey, Glamorous.
- [coin clatters]
23
00:03:45,392 --> 00:03:47,018

25
00:03:56,778 --> 00:03:58,821
Let's have something quieter this time, Joe.
26
00:03:58,906 --> 00:04:00,907
- My head's splitting.
- Is that what's wrong with it?
27
00:04:00,991 --> 00:04:02,450
[chuckles softly]
28
00:04:04,161 --> 00:04:07,747
- Done with your coffee?
- No. And don't rush me, will ya?

[jukebox: new song plays, up-tempo]
30
00:04:15,172 --> 00:04:17,173
Hey, turn that off.
Will ya turn that thing off?
31
00:04:17,257 --> 00:04:19,050
- What's eating you now?
- Yeah, what's eating you?
32
00:04:19,134 --> 00:04:21,052
- That music. It stinks!
- Oh, you don't like it, huh?
33
00:04:21,136 --> 00:04:23,220
- No, turn it off!
- Now wait a minute, pal.
34
00:04:23,305 --> 00:04:24,972
That was my nickel, see?
35
00:04:25,057 --> 00:04:28,059
This is a free country,
and I play whatever I want to.
36
00:04:29,603 --> 00:04:30,645
Okay.
37
00:04:30,729 --> 00:04:33,022
Sure. And if you don't like,
you don't have to listen to it.
38
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:35,066
And you can leave here anytime you wanna.
39
00:04:35,150 --> 00:04:36,692
Okay, okay. I'm sorry I asked.
40
00:04:36,777 --> 00:04:38,986
First good piece played tonight,
and you don't like it.
41
00:04:39,071 --> 00:04:41,489
Some people just ain't got any good taste.
42
00:04:44,076 --> 00:04:47,161
[music continues]
43
00:04:52,751 --> 00:04:55,962
[thinking] That tune. That tune!
44
00:04:56,046 --> 00:04:58,297
Why was there always that rotten tune?
45
00:04:58,382 --> 00:05:01,175
Following me around, beating in my head,
never letting up.
46
00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:07,181
Did you ever wanna forget anything?
47
00:05:07,599 --> 00:05:10,518
Did you ever wanna cut away
a piece of your memory or blot it out?
48
00:05:10,978 --> 00:05:14,397
You can't, you know?
No matter how hard you try.
49
00:05:14,481 --> 00:05:16,440
You can change the scenery,
50
00:05:16,525 --> 00:05:18,609
but sooner or later
you'll get a whiff of perfume,
51
00:05:18,694 --> 00:05:21,195
or somebody will say a certain phrase
or maybe hum something.
52
00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:23,531
Then you're licked again.
53
00:05:25,575 --> 00:05:27,994
"I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me."
54
00:05:28,078 --> 00:05:29,954
I used to love that song once.
55
00:05:30,038 --> 00:05:33,124
So did the customers back in the old
Break O' Dawn Club in New York.
56
00:05:33,625 --> 00:05:36,711
I can't remember a night when I didn't get
at least three requests for it.
57
00:05:37,504 --> 00:05:40,756
Sue, she was always selling it too.
58
00:05:41,258 --> 00:05:42,550
Those were the days.
59
00:05:42,634 --> 00:05:44,635
[song continues]
60
00:05:48,598 --> 00:05:51,559
[song continues, live combo playing]
61
00:06:07,701 --> 00:06:11,245
# Your eyes of blue
Your kisses too #
62
00:06:11,329 --> 00:06:14,123
# I never knew what they could do #
63
00:06:14,207 --> 00:06:19,420
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
64
00:06:19,963 --> 00:06:23,132
# You're telling everyone you know #
65
00:06:23,216 --> 00:06:26,343
# That I'm on your mind each place you go #
66
00:06:26,428 --> 00:06:31,223
# They can't believe
That you're in love with me #
67
00:06:32,392 --> 00:06:38,189
# I have always placed you far above me #
68
00:06:38,273 --> 00:06:43,778
# I just can't imagine that you love me #
69
00:06:43,862 --> 00:06:47,073
# And after all is said and done #
70
00:06:47,157 --> 00:06:50,284
# To think that I'm the lucky one #
71
00:06:50,368 --> 00:06:55,748
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
72
00:07:02,631 --> 00:07:04,715
[Al narrating] It wasn't much of a club, really.
73
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,300
You know the kind.
74
00:07:06,384 --> 00:07:08,385
A joint where you could have a sandwich
and a few drinks,
75
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:11,055
and run interference for your girl
on the dance floor.
76
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:15,101
- [playing romantic melody]
- I fronted the piano in there every night
77
00:07:15,185 --> 00:07:17,311
from 8:00 until the place closed up,
78
00:07:17,395 --> 00:07:19,563
which usually meant 4:00 in the morning.
79
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:22,066
A good job as jobs went in those days.
80
00:07:25,487 --> 00:07:28,739
Then, too, there was Sue,
81
00:07:28,824 --> 00:07:31,784
who made working there
a little like working in heaven.
82
00:07:32,244 --> 00:07:36,372
But how we felt about each other, well,
there was nothing very unusual in that.
83
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:39,834
I was an ordinary healthy guy,
and she was an ordinary healthy girl,
84
00:07:39,918 --> 00:07:43,170
and when you add those two together,
you get an ordinary healthy romance,
85
00:07:43,255 --> 00:07:44,672
which is the old story.
86
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:49,426
Sure. But somehow
the most wonderful thing in the world.
87
00:07:49,511 --> 00:07:51,846
[continues playing, rapidly]
88
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:59,436
All in all, I was a pretty lucky guy.
89
00:08:12,450 --> 00:08:15,494
Mr. Patterewsky, I presume?
It's beautiful.
90
00:08:15,579 --> 00:08:17,663
You're going to make Carnegie Hall yet, Al.
91
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:20,332
Yeah. As a janitor.
92
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:22,251
I'll make my debut in the basement.
93
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:26,005
I don't blame you for being bitter,
darling, but you mustn't give up hope.
94
00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:27,798
- Why, some day...
- Yeah, some day,
95
00:08:27,883 --> 00:08:29,633
if I don't get arthritis first.
96
00:08:29,718 --> 00:08:31,385
In the meantime, let's blow this trap.
97
00:08:31,469 --> 00:08:32,845
[piano lid thuds]
98
00:08:48,737 --> 00:08:49,737
[door closes]
99
00:08:51,323 --> 00:08:53,782
- Like to get something to eat, hon?
- Oh, I don't think so, Al.
100
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:56,911
I lose my appetite working in this fleabag.
101
00:08:56,995 --> 00:08:58,954
- Let's go home.
- Okay.
102
00:08:59,831 --> 00:09:02,416
I can't stand much more of that dump.
103
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:05,211
Did you see that drunk tonight
trying to paw me?
104
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:08,547
- No, what drunk?
- Does it matter what drunk?
105
00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:11,800
Say, what's the matter with you tonight, darling?
106
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:14,511
That's the third time you started
to tell me something and then stopped.
107
00:09:15,305 --> 00:09:17,806
We shouldn't have any secrets
from each other, Sue.
108
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:20,267
Next week, we're gonna make with a ring
and a license. We'll be a team.
109
00:09:20,352 --> 00:09:23,395
Yes, that's right. In the bush league.
110
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,190
- I don't get ya.
- We've been struck out.
111
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:29,276
That's a funny way to talk, darling.
112
00:09:29,361 --> 00:09:31,737
- Don't you wanna marry me?
- Al, look, I love you.
113
00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:34,198
You know I do.
And I want to marry you.
114
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:36,742
- But...?
- But not now.
115
00:09:36,826 --> 00:09:39,286
Only after we've made good.
116
00:09:39,371 --> 00:09:40,996
Sunday I'm going away.
117
00:09:41,706 --> 00:09:43,666
Oh, I know you'll think it's silly.
118
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:46,001
That's why I hesitated to tell you.
119
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:47,795
But I'm going to California.
120
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:50,297
I wanna try my luck in Hollywood.
121
00:09:50,548 --> 00:09:52,758
[Al] That's the most
stupid thing I ever heard of.
122
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:56,387
Don't you know millions of people go out there
every year and wind up polishing cuspidors?
123
00:09:56,471 --> 00:09:57,638
I thought you had better sense.
124
00:09:57,722 --> 00:09:59,598
You sound as if you think
I don't have any talent.
125
00:09:59,683 --> 00:10:02,101
- That has nothing to do with it.
- I'll make out all right.
126
00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:03,936
Maybe. But what about me?
127
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:06,563
Doesn't it mean anything to you
that you're busting up all our plans?
128
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:09,817
- We may not see each other for years?
- It won't be that long.
129
00:10:09,901 --> 00:10:12,111
- I thought you loved me.
- I do.
130
00:10:12,195 --> 00:10:13,737
You know I do.
131
00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:18,325
Well, here we are.
132
00:10:20,787 --> 00:10:21,787
Al...
133
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:25,541
Al, why can't you see my side of it?
134
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:28,294
I'm young. We both are. And...
135
00:10:28,378 --> 00:10:31,005
And we've got all the time in the world
to settle down.
136
00:10:31,715 --> 00:10:33,966
[sighs] Really, darling.
137
00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:37,303
What I'm doing is the only sane thing to do.
138
00:10:37,387 --> 00:10:40,889
[sighs] I... I hate the thought
of being so far away from you.
139
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:44,226
But... But we'll be together again some day.
140
00:10:44,311 --> 00:10:47,563
[sighs] Maybe you'll decide
to come out too, later on.
141
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:49,898
- So long.
- Al.
142
00:10:50,734 --> 00:10:53,068
Aren't you gonna kiss me good night?
143
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,237
Sure, why not?
144
00:10:57,741 --> 00:10:58,991
Good night.
145
00:11:05,248 --> 00:11:07,708
[playing romantic melody]
146
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:34,276
[playing jauntily, jazzy]
147
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:47,164
[changing rhythm, slower]
148
00:12:09,604 --> 00:12:12,231
[changing rhythm, jittery]
149
00:12:18,822 --> 00:12:21,824
[no audible dialogue]
150
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:40,717
[piano playing stops]
151
00:12:40,802 --> 00:12:42,469
- [applause]
- Say, Roberts.
152
00:12:42,554 --> 00:12:45,848
You hit the jackpot this time. Ten bucks.
153
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:47,391
Thanks.
154
00:12:53,481 --> 00:12:56,024
[Al narrating] So when this drunk handed me
a ten-spot after a request,
155
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:57,526
I couldn't get very excited.
156
00:12:57,777 --> 00:13:01,363
What was it, I asked myself?
A piece of paper crawling with germs.
157
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:03,866
Couldn't buy anything I wanted.
158
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:05,242
It couldn't...
159
00:13:08,246 --> 00:13:09,705
Then I thought of something.
160
00:13:33,104 --> 00:13:34,313
Long distance.
161
00:13:34,397 --> 00:13:36,857
I'd like to put a call through to Los Angeles.
162
00:13:36,941 --> 00:13:39,193
Miss Harvey. Sue Harvey.
163
00:13:39,277 --> 00:13:41,069
H-A-R-V-E-Y.
164
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:44,615
The number is CRestview 65723.
165
00:14:04,594 --> 00:14:06,386
- 4.50.
- [coin clatters]
166
00:14:06,471 --> 00:14:08,347
- 4.75.
- [coin clatters]
167
00:14:08,431 --> 00:14:09,431
5.00.
168
00:14:12,477 --> 00:14:15,020
Hello, Sue? This is Al.
169
00:14:15,104 --> 00:14:17,356
Oh, baby, it's great to hear from you too.
170
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,651
What's that? You do?
Oh, me too, darling.
171
00:14:20,735 --> 00:14:23,362
I thought I'd go batty without you.
I just had to...
172
00:14:23,446 --> 00:14:24,446
Huh?
173
00:14:25,406 --> 00:14:27,449
You're workin' as a hash slinger?
174
00:14:27,534 --> 00:14:28,867
Gee, honey, that's tough.
175
00:14:28,952 --> 00:14:32,371
Those guys out in Hollywood don't know
the real thing when it's right in front of them.
176
00:14:32,455 --> 00:14:34,164
You just stick it out, Sue, baby.
177
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:37,417
Keep goin' around to those casting offices.
I'm sure you'll click.
178
00:14:38,002 --> 00:14:40,629
Look, I'll tell you what.
You stay put out there. I'll come to you.
179
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:43,632
No, don't try to stop me. Just expect me.
180
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:46,760
Train? Who knows?
Train, plane, bus, magic carpet.
181
00:14:46,844 --> 00:14:50,430
I'll be there if I have to crawl.
If I have to travel by pogo stick.
182
00:14:50,515 --> 00:14:53,809
And then... let's get married right away.
183
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:59,439
That's the stuff. That's what
I've been wanting to hear you say.
184
00:15:00,525 --> 00:15:03,110
Well, good-bye for now.
185
00:15:04,362 --> 00:15:06,905
I'll be seeing you soon. [kisses]
186
00:15:07,282 --> 00:15:10,492
Yeah. [kisses] Bye.
187
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:18,500
[Al narrating] The only way I could
cross country was to thumb rides,
188
00:15:18,585 --> 00:15:21,587
for even after hocking everything,
I only had enough money to eat.
189
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:24,923
Money. You know what that is.
190
00:15:25,717 --> 00:15:27,551
It's the stuff you never have enough of.
191
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:29,720
Little green things
with George Washington's picture
192
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:33,432
that men slave for,
commit crimes for, die for.
193
00:15:34,183 --> 00:15:36,226
It's the stuff that has caused
more trouble in the world
194
00:15:36,311 --> 00:15:38,186
than anything else we ever invented,
195
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:41,273
simply because there's too little of it.
196
00:15:41,357 --> 00:15:43,442
At least I had too little of it.
197
00:15:43,526 --> 00:15:45,319
So it was me for the thumb.
198
00:16:01,753 --> 00:16:03,170
Ever done any hitchhiking?
199
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:05,881
It's not much fun, believe me.
200
00:16:06,549 --> 00:16:08,842
Oh, yeah,
I know all about how it's an education,
201
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:11,595
and how you get to meet a lot of people,
and all that.
202
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:15,849
But me, from now on
I'll take my education in college,
203
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:20,187
or in P.S. 62, or I'll send $1.98
in stamps for ten easy lessons.
204
00:16:29,447 --> 00:16:33,367
Thumbing rides may save you bus fare,
but it's dangerous.
205
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:37,954
You never know what's in store for you
when you hear the squeal of brakes.
206
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,001
If only I had known what I was getting into
that day in Arizona.
207
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:46,546
Here, throw that in the back seat.
208
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:51,301
Okay, let's go.
Make sure that door's closed.
209
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:53,553
- [door closes]
- [lock clacks]
210
00:17:05,483 --> 00:17:09,319
You know, Emily Post ought to write
a book of rules for guys thumbing rides.
211
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:13,031
Because as it is now you never know
what's right and what's wrong.
212
00:17:13,783 --> 00:17:17,285
We rode along for a little while,
neither one of us saying anything.
213
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:19,538
I was glad of that.
214
00:17:19,622 --> 00:17:22,457
I never know what to say
to strange people driving cars.
215
00:17:23,418 --> 00:17:26,545
And too, you can never tell
if a guy wants to talk.
216
00:17:26,629 --> 00:17:29,631
A lot of rides have been cut short
because of a big mouth.
217
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:34,845
So I kept my mouth shut
until he started opening up.
218
00:17:35,596 --> 00:17:38,473
Hand me that little box
in the compartment, will ya, pal?
219
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:42,936
Hold the wheel, will ya?
220
00:17:44,397 --> 00:17:45,397
[pills rattling]
221
00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:53,029
[glove box closes]
222
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:56,450
- How far are ya going?
- LA.
223
00:17:56,534 --> 00:17:58,577
Well, you're really traveling aren't ya?
224
00:17:58,661 --> 00:18:00,704
Yeah, but I don't expect to make it
for a couple years
225
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:02,372
at the rate I've been promoting rides.
226
00:18:02,457 --> 00:18:03,582
Not much luck, huh?
227
00:18:03,666 --> 00:18:05,459
Sure. All bad.
228
00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:07,753
Not many people stop for a guy these days.
229
00:18:07,837 --> 00:18:09,296
Afraid of a stickup maybe.
230
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:10,505
Ah, you can't blame 'em.
231
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:13,675
- Where ya comin' from?
- New York.
232
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,137
Well, New York. You're in luck this time.
233
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:19,139
I'm goin' all the way.
234
00:18:19,223 --> 00:18:20,807
Right through to Los Angeles.
235
00:18:22,018 --> 00:18:24,102
- You drive a car?
- Sure.
236
00:18:24,187 --> 00:18:26,897
- Whenever you're tired, let me know.
- I'll holler.
237
00:18:28,691 --> 00:18:30,776
I guess at least an hour passed
before I noticed
238
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:32,778
those deep scratches in his right hand.
239
00:18:33,237 --> 00:18:34,696
They were wicked.
240
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:37,532
Three puffy red lines
about a quarter of an inch apart.
241
00:18:38,576 --> 00:18:40,869
He must have seen me looking at them
because he said...
242
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:43,288
Beauties, aren't they?
243
00:18:44,081 --> 00:18:45,957
They're gonna be scars someday.
244
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:49,002
What an animal.
245
00:18:49,086 --> 00:18:51,880
Whatever it was, it must have been
pretty big and vicious to have done that.
246
00:18:52,381 --> 00:18:54,424
Right on both counts, New York.
247
00:18:54,509 --> 00:18:57,636
I was tussling with the most
dangerous animal in the world...
248
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,804
a woman.
249
00:18:59,388 --> 00:19:01,014
She must have been Tarzan's mate.
250
00:19:01,098 --> 00:19:02,766
Looks like you lost the bout.
251
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:04,559
Certainly wasn't a draw.
252
00:19:05,394 --> 00:19:08,313
You know, there ought to be a law
against dames with claws.
253
00:19:08,397 --> 00:19:09,314
Yeah.
254
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:11,483
I tossed her out of the car on her ear.
255
00:19:12,318 --> 00:19:16,655
Was I wrong? Give a lift to a tomato,
you expect her to be nice, don't ya?
256
00:19:16,739 --> 00:19:17,656
Yeah.
257
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:20,242
After all, what kind of dames thumb rides?
258
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:22,577
- Sunday school teachers?
- Yeah.
259
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:25,747
The little witch.
260
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:28,458
She must've thought she was riding
with some fall guy.
261
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:32,337
And me who's been booking horses
around racetracks since I was 20.
262
00:19:33,047 --> 00:19:34,923
[scoffs] I've known a million dames like her.
263
00:19:35,383 --> 00:19:37,217
- Two million.
- Yeah.
264
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:42,138
Stopped the car, opened the door...
265
00:19:42,223 --> 00:19:44,641
"Take it on the Arthur Duffy, sister,"
I told her.
266
00:19:44,725 --> 00:19:48,103
- That's the stuff.
- As I was down on her. [laughs]
267
00:19:48,479 --> 00:19:52,148
But if you wanna see a real scar, brother,
get a load of this.
268
00:19:53,442 --> 00:19:55,026
Wow.
269
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:57,904
- I got that one dueling.
- Dueling?
270
00:19:58,406 --> 00:19:59,865
Yeah. We were just kidding, of course.
271
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:02,450
My dad owned a couple of
Franco-Prussian sabers.
272
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:04,244
Kept 'em on the wall for decorations.
273
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:09,749
One day, another kid and I took 'em down
when the old man wasn't around. Had a duel.
274
00:20:09,834 --> 00:20:11,376
[chuckles]
275
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:13,587
He hit me in the arm, here.
276
00:20:13,671 --> 00:20:15,338
Pretty mean cut.
277
00:20:15,423 --> 00:20:16,965
Infection set in later.
278
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:18,842
Yeah, I can see that.
279
00:20:19,093 --> 00:20:21,428
- Oh, gimme that box again, will ya?
- Yeah.
280
00:20:24,765 --> 00:20:26,099
[pills rattling]
281
00:20:31,355 --> 00:20:32,397
[glove box closes]
282
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:35,525
Pain made me lose my head, I guess.
283
00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:37,694
I began slashing.
284
00:20:37,778 --> 00:20:40,488
Before I knew it,
I put the other kid's eye out.
285
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:43,950
- That was tough.
- Well, it was just an accident, of course.
286
00:20:44,035 --> 00:20:48,413
But you know how kids are. I got scared...
decided I was gonna run away from home.
287
00:20:48,915 --> 00:20:51,958
Old man almost clocked me
when I was packin' my duds.
288
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:56,296
If the bloody rag I had wrapped around my wrist
hadn't caught his attention,
289
00:20:56,380 --> 00:20:58,048
he'd have seen the bundle for sure.
290
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:01,551
But I beat it when he was phoning for a doctor.
291
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:06,598
That was 15, 16 years ago.
I haven't been home since.
292
00:21:10,561 --> 00:21:12,729
Pull in there for a bite of something, huh?
293
00:21:12,813 --> 00:21:14,481
[Al narrating] A bite of something.
294
00:21:14,565 --> 00:21:16,066
Brother, was I hungry.
295
00:21:16,150 --> 00:21:18,401
I hadn't had anything in my stomach for hours.
296
00:21:19,362 --> 00:21:21,404
Yet even with that gnawing
in the pit of my belly,
297
00:21:21,489 --> 00:21:24,324
I didn't want to be in too big a rush
to put on the feed bag.
298
00:21:25,076 --> 00:21:27,827
First, I had to make sure
this guy knew the score.
299
00:21:27,912 --> 00:21:31,247
If I got him down on me,
it was good-bye ticket to Hollywood.
300
00:21:32,083 --> 00:21:33,708
I'll wait out here for you, mister.
301
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:36,753
If it's the money, don't worry about
paying for it. This time it's on me.
302
00:21:36,837 --> 00:21:39,255
- Well, that's white of you, Mr...
- Haskell. Think nothing of it.
303
00:21:39,340 --> 00:21:42,717
You make your first million, maybe you can
do the same for me. Come on, New York.
304
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:44,594
I gotta make the West Coast by Wednesday.
305
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:47,263
There's a horse running at
Santa Anita named Paradisiacal.
306
00:21:47,348 --> 00:21:49,933
- Means dough to me if I'm running.
- We'll make it all right.
307
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:54,688
[Al narrating] He did most of the talking
during the half hour we were in the place.
308
00:21:54,772 --> 00:21:55,772
I ate.
309
00:21:56,857 --> 00:22:01,027
He rambled on about his old man, who he hadn't
heard from since he ran away as a kid,
310
00:22:01,112 --> 00:22:02,946
and how he happened to become a bookie,
311
00:22:03,030 --> 00:22:05,740
and then all about how he got rooked in Miami.
312
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:08,660
One race, 38 grand.
They cleaned out my book.
313
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:11,079
- How do you like that?
- That was tough luck.
314
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:13,164
Yeah, and I'm supposed to be the smart guy.
315
00:22:13,249 --> 00:22:16,543
You just wait. I'm going back to Florida
next season with all kinds of jack.
316
00:22:16,627 --> 00:22:18,586
And you watch those stinkers run for cover.
317
00:22:19,547 --> 00:22:21,965
- Want anything else?
- No, thanks, I've had plenty.
318
00:22:27,638 --> 00:22:29,556
- The check there, sister?
- Mm-hmm.
319
00:22:32,601 --> 00:22:34,519
Oh, just a minute. Your change, sir.
320
00:22:34,603 --> 00:22:37,272
- Keep it, sister.
- Oh, thank you, sir. Call again.
321
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,190
I'll be waitin' outside for you
when you finish work.
322
00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:40,400
[chuckles]
323
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:41,776
Sharp chick, huh?
324
00:22:49,952 --> 00:22:52,912
[Al narrating] I drove all that night
while Haskell slept like a log.
325
00:22:53,581 --> 00:22:56,416
After a while, I began to get sleepy myself.
326
00:22:57,835 --> 00:23:01,671
I was happy though.
Soon I'd be with Sue again.
327
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:03,214
The long trip was practically over,
328
00:23:03,299 --> 00:23:06,009
and there'd be no more hoofing it
down the concrete.
329
00:23:06,761 --> 00:23:08,928
I began to think of the future,
330
00:23:09,013 --> 00:23:12,098
which couldn't have been brighter
if I'd embroidered it with neon lights.
331
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,226
It was nice to think of Sue shooting to the top.
332
00:23:16,437 --> 00:23:20,356
[chuckles] It's amazing what a full belly
can do to your imagination.
333
00:23:20,566 --> 00:23:23,276
[romantic ballad]
334
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:28,156
# Your eyes are blue
Your kisses too #
335
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,577
# I never knew what they could do #
336
00:23:32,661 --> 00:23:39,667
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
337
00:23:41,045 --> 00:23:45,632
# You're telling everyone you know #
338
00:23:45,716 --> 00:23:50,095
# I'm on your mind each place you go #
339
00:23:50,179 --> 00:23:56,017
# I can't believe that you're in love #
340
00:23:56,352 --> 00:24:02,690
# With me #
341
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:12,951
Mr. Haskell.
342
00:24:14,703 --> 00:24:15,703
Mr. Haskell?
343
00:24:18,833 --> 00:24:20,875
Mr. Haskell, wake up! It's raining.
344
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,002
Don't you think we ought to stop
and put up the top?
345
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:33,263
Mr. Haskell, I'm gonna put up the top.
346
00:24:48,154 --> 00:24:50,029
[Al narrating] Until then,
I'd done things my way.
347
00:24:50,531 --> 00:24:52,699
But from then on, something else
stepped in and shunted me off
348
00:24:52,783 --> 00:24:55,535
to a different destination
than the one I had picked for myself.
349
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:58,329
For when I pulled open that door...
350
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:05,170
Mr. Haskell, what's the matter?
Are you hurt?
351
00:25:06,255 --> 00:25:07,547
Are you hurt, Mr. Haskell?
352
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:11,467
[Al narrating]
Start your sermon. I'll listen to it.
353
00:25:12,219 --> 00:25:15,013
But I know what you're gonna hand me
even before you open your mouths.
354
00:25:15,598 --> 00:25:18,016
You're gonna tell me you don't believe
my story of how Haskell died
355
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:21,352
and give me that "don't make me laugh"
expression on your smug faces.
356
00:25:24,815 --> 00:25:26,357
I saw at once he was dead.
357
00:25:26,692 --> 00:25:28,193
And I was in for it.
358
00:25:28,277 --> 00:25:30,111
Who would believe he fell out of the car?
359
00:25:30,196 --> 00:25:31,738
If Haskell came to, which,
of course, he couldn't,
360
00:25:31,822 --> 00:25:34,240
even he would swear
I conked him over the head for his dough.
361
00:25:34,325 --> 00:25:35,491
Yes, I was in for it.
362
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:39,829
Instinct told me to run,
but then I realized it was hopeless.
363
00:25:39,914 --> 00:25:41,998
There were lots of people back down the road
who could identify me.
364
00:25:42,082 --> 00:25:44,000
That gas station guy and the waitress.
365
00:25:44,084 --> 00:25:46,419
I would be in a worse spot then
trying to explain why I beat it.
366
00:25:47,504 --> 00:25:50,381
The next possibility was to sit tight
and tell the truth when the cops came.
367
00:25:50,466 --> 00:25:53,176
But that would be crazy.
They'd laugh at the truth.
368
00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:54,552
And I'd have my head in a noose.
369
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:59,807
So what else was there to do
but hide the body and get away in the car?
370
00:25:59,892 --> 00:26:02,101
I couldn't leave the car there
with him in the gully.
371
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:03,937
That would be like erecting a tombstone.
372
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:35,385
My idea was to cover him with brush,
not to rob him.
373
00:26:35,636 --> 00:26:38,304
But then I remembered that even if
I only drove the car for 100 miles or so,
374
00:26:38,389 --> 00:26:39,722
I would need money for gas.
375
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:44,060
Besides, it was stupid of me
to leave all that money on a dead man.
376
00:26:45,145 --> 00:26:47,188
Not only that,
I'd have to take his driver's license
377
00:26:47,273 --> 00:26:48,690
in case I was stopped for something.
378
00:26:50,901 --> 00:26:52,235
I didn't like to think about it,
379
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,821
but by that time I'd done
just what the police would say I did.
380
00:26:54,905 --> 00:26:57,740
Even if I didn't... My clothes.
381
00:26:58,367 --> 00:27:00,618
The owner of such an expensive car
would never be wearing them.
382
00:27:01,662 --> 00:27:03,246
Some cop might pull me in on suspicion.
383
00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,802
[motorcycle approaches]
384
00:27:28,939 --> 00:27:30,231
Hey, you. This your car?
385
00:27:30,941 --> 00:27:33,943
Don't you know better than to leave a car
with the wheels halfway in the middle of the road?
386
00:27:34,028 --> 00:27:35,403
That's the way accidents happen.
387
00:27:35,612 --> 00:27:38,614
I... I'm sorry, Officer.
I was just putting up my top.
388
00:27:38,699 --> 00:27:41,367
- I didn't think.
- Well, the next time, think.
389
00:27:41,452 --> 00:27:43,911
I'll let you go now,
but watch your step in the future.
390
00:27:43,996 --> 00:27:46,414
I know that it's a lonely stretch,
but cars come by here once in a while.
391
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:49,334
- We have plenty of crack-ups.
- Thanks, Officer.
392
00:28:13,067 --> 00:28:15,777
[Al narrating] I left nothing in the car
that'd give me away as Roberts.
393
00:28:15,861 --> 00:28:18,529
If they found a dead man in the gully now,
it could be me.
394
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:28,122
As I drove off, it was still raining.
395
00:28:29,083 --> 00:28:31,876
The drops streaked
down the windshield like tears.
396
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:36,381
I kept imagining I was being followed,
397
00:28:36,465 --> 00:28:38,341
that I could hear sirens
back in the distance.
398
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,471
Just how long it took to cover the 60-odd
miles to the California state line,
399
00:28:43,555 --> 00:28:44,555
I don't know.
400
00:28:45,057 --> 00:28:46,641
I lost all track of time.
401
00:28:47,351 --> 00:28:51,270
But the rain had stopped and the sun was up
when I pulled up to the inspection station.
402
00:28:55,859 --> 00:28:56,692
Hello.
403
00:28:57,653 --> 00:28:59,946
- Carrying any fruits or vegetables?
- No.
404
00:29:00,030 --> 00:29:02,198
- Any livestock or poultry?
- No.
405
00:29:02,282 --> 00:29:03,741
[footsteps approaching]
406
00:29:03,826 --> 00:29:06,202
I'd like to see your registration
and driver's license, please.
407
00:29:10,749 --> 00:29:13,251
- Anything in the baggage compartment?
- Just baggage.
408
00:29:15,212 --> 00:29:18,548
Charles Haskell Jr.
Age 30, brown eyes, dark hair.
409
00:29:18,841 --> 00:29:20,216
Identifying marks, none.
410
00:29:20,884 --> 00:29:23,094
- Are you Charles Haskell Jr.?
- Yes.
411
00:29:23,178 --> 00:29:25,263
Well, remember, if you're employed,
and you stay over 30 days,
412
00:29:25,347 --> 00:29:27,223
you take out California plates.
413
00:29:27,307 --> 00:29:29,517
All right, Officer, but I'll only be
in the state a short while.
414
00:29:31,186 --> 00:29:32,270
Right. You can go now.
415
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:42,113
[Al narrating] I couldn't drive any farther
without some sleep.
416
00:29:42,197 --> 00:29:45,783
Cops or no cops, I knew
I had to hit the hay and hit it hard.
417
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,203
I was dead tired.
418
00:30:20,027 --> 00:30:20,943
No.
419
00:30:21,820 --> 00:30:23,362
No, you can't, Mr. Haskell.
420
00:30:24,323 --> 00:30:25,156
No.
421
00:30:32,706 --> 00:30:35,374
Mr. Haskell, you can't die.
422
00:30:36,502 --> 00:30:39,128
They'll think... They'll think I did it.
423
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:42,173
No, Mr. Haskell.
424
00:30:42,591 --> 00:30:44,717
No, no...

426
00:30:54,019 --> 00:30:55,603
[knocking continues]
427
00:30:59,358 --> 00:31:00,233
Who's there?
428
00:31:00,317 --> 00:31:02,610
It's the maid. Can I come in and clean?
429
00:31:03,820 --> 00:31:06,322
Later... in a half-hour.
430
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:07,490
All right, sir.
431
00:31:32,057 --> 00:31:33,599
[Al narrating] There was no time to lose.
432
00:31:33,684 --> 00:31:36,227
Every minute I had to be Charles Haskell
was dangerous.
433
00:31:36,311 --> 00:31:38,521
I'd have to be Charles Haskell
until I got to some city
434
00:31:38,605 --> 00:31:40,648
where I could leave the car
and be swallowed up.
435
00:31:46,238 --> 00:31:48,864
That meant driving the car
as far as San Bernardino,
436
00:31:48,949 --> 00:31:50,491
maybe even to Los Angeles.
437
00:31:50,576 --> 00:31:52,451
In a little town, I might be noticed.
438
00:31:52,536 --> 00:31:54,328
But in a city, I should be safe enough.
439
00:31:55,581 --> 00:31:58,666
Then, after I ditched the car,
I could go on to Sue.
440
00:31:59,585 --> 00:32:02,545
But those five minutes at the state line
made me realize
441
00:32:02,629 --> 00:32:05,631
it might be a good idea to find out
a little bit about Mr. Haskell.
442
00:32:06,633 --> 00:32:09,302
Then if anybody asked me questions,
I could give the right answers.
443
00:32:10,345 --> 00:32:13,806
The first thing I found out
was that I had $768.
444
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:17,768
This was a lot of jack, but believe me,
445
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:19,895
it was the kind of money
I'd rather not have.
446
00:32:27,446 --> 00:32:31,115
And then I found out from a letter
Haskell was carting around in his bag
447
00:32:31,199 --> 00:32:33,784
that he wasn't the openhanded,
easygoing big shot
448
00:32:33,869 --> 00:32:36,412
who went around buying dinners
for strange hitchhikers.
449
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:39,832
Before I got done reading it,
I saw him more as a chiseler.
450
00:32:41,209 --> 00:32:43,836
It was written
to his old man in California,
451
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,796
the one he hadn't seen in so many years.
452
00:32:46,590 --> 00:32:51,385
In it, Haskell posed as a salesman...
of hymnals, of all things.
453
00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:54,388
It was easy to see where Haskell expected
454
00:32:54,473 --> 00:32:56,849
to raise a new stake
for his book in Miami...
455
00:32:57,684 --> 00:32:59,143
by rooking his old man.
456
00:33:00,771 --> 00:33:03,689
That was about all I found out
from his effects.
457
00:33:03,774 --> 00:33:04,857
And it was enough.
458
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:09,737
I told myself maybe old man Haskell
was lucky his son kicked off.
459
00:33:10,864 --> 00:33:12,531
He would never know it,
460
00:33:12,616 --> 00:33:16,077
but it saved him from taking a flier
in sacred literature preferred.
461
00:33:22,793 --> 00:33:24,377
[birds chirping]
462
00:33:41,186 --> 00:33:43,979
Near the airport at Desert Center,
I pulled up for water.
463
00:33:45,607 --> 00:33:46,691
There was a woman.
464
00:33:51,321 --> 00:33:53,614
Hey, you. Come on if you want a ride.
465
00:34:07,587 --> 00:34:08,587
[car hood slams]
466
00:34:39,995 --> 00:34:41,662
How far you goin'?
467
00:34:41,747 --> 00:34:43,122
How far are you going?
468
00:34:43,749 --> 00:34:46,792
[Al narrating] That took me by surprise.
I turned my head to look her over.
469
00:34:47,836 --> 00:34:50,588
She was facing straight ahead,
so I couldn't see her eyes.
470
00:34:51,006 --> 00:34:53,758
But she was young, not more than 24.
471
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:56,844
Man, she looked as if
she'd just been thrown off
472
00:34:56,928 --> 00:34:59,305
the crummiest freight train in the world.
473
00:35:00,140 --> 00:35:02,641
Yet, in spite of this,
I got the impression of beauty.
474
00:35:03,727 --> 00:35:06,020
Not the beauty of a movie actress,
mind you,
475
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,689
or the beauty you dream about
when you're with your wife,
476
00:35:08,774 --> 00:35:10,065
but a natural beauty,
477
00:35:10,567 --> 00:35:13,194
a beauty that's almost homely
because it's so real.
478
00:35:15,363 --> 00:35:17,114
Then, suddenly, she turned to face me.
479
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:20,409
- How far did you say you were going?
- Los Angeles.
480
00:35:20,494 --> 00:35:21,410
LA?
481
00:35:22,287 --> 00:35:25,790
- LA's good enough for me, mister.
- That's what I was afraid of.
482
00:35:25,874 --> 00:35:29,084
- What'd you say?
- Oh, nothing. Just thinking out loud.
483
00:35:29,169 --> 00:35:31,128
People get in trouble for doing that.
484
00:35:32,005 --> 00:35:34,715
- What's your name?
- You can call me Vera, if you like.
485
00:35:35,509 --> 00:35:37,176
- You live in Los Angeles?
- No.
486
00:35:39,054 --> 00:35:41,555
- Where you coming from?
- Oh, back there.
487
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,098
- Needles?
- No.
488
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:47,102
Oh, sure. Phoenix.
You look just like a Phoenix girl.
489
00:35:47,687 --> 00:35:49,855
- Are the girls in Phoenix that bad?
- [chuckles]
490
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:51,774
[Al narrating]
The girl must have been pretty tired
491
00:35:51,858 --> 00:35:54,944
because she fell asleep not 20 minutes
after she stepped into the car.
492
00:35:55,737 --> 00:35:59,782
She lay sprawled out with her head resting
against the far door, like Haskell.
493
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:03,452
I didn't like that part of it much,
but I didn't wake her up.
494
00:36:04,955 --> 00:36:06,872
It wasn't that this girl still worried me.
495
00:36:07,374 --> 00:36:10,376
I'd gotten over that funny feeling
I had when she looked at me,
496
00:36:10,460 --> 00:36:13,003
which I put down
as just my jangled nerves.
497
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:16,590
With her eyes closed
and the tenseness gone out of her,
498
00:36:16,675 --> 00:36:18,133
she seemed harmless enough.
499
00:36:18,885 --> 00:36:21,929
Instead of disliking her,
I began to feel sorry for her.
500
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:25,182
The poor kid probably
had had a rough time of it.
501
00:36:26,476 --> 00:36:27,977
Who was she, anyway?
502
00:36:28,061 --> 00:36:30,479
And why was she going to Los Angeles?
503
00:36:30,564 --> 00:36:32,898
And where'd she come from
in the first place?
504
00:36:32,983 --> 00:36:34,775
The only thing I knew about her
was her name.
505
00:36:35,777 --> 00:36:37,361
Not that it made any difference.
506
00:36:37,445 --> 00:36:39,738
A few hours more and we'd be in Hollywood.
507
00:36:39,823 --> 00:36:42,241
I'd forget where I parked the car
and look up Sue.
508
00:36:43,118 --> 00:36:45,286
This nightmare of being a dead man
would be over.
509
00:36:46,121 --> 00:36:48,831
Who this dame was, well,
it was no business of mine.
510
00:36:48,915 --> 00:36:52,918
Where did you leave his body?
Where did you leave the owner of this car?
511
00:36:53,003 --> 00:36:54,712
You're not fooling anyone.
512
00:36:55,297 --> 00:36:58,173
This buggy belongs to a guy named Haskell.
That's not you, mister.
513
00:36:58,258 --> 00:37:01,343
You're out of your mind. That's my name.
Charles Haskell. I can prove it.
514
00:37:01,428 --> 00:37:03,512
- Here's my driver's license.
- Save yourself the trouble, mister.
515
00:37:03,597 --> 00:37:05,848
Having Haskell's wallet
only makes it worse.
516
00:37:05,932 --> 00:37:08,017
It just so happens
I rode with Charlie Haskell
517
00:37:08,101 --> 00:37:09,685
all the way from Louisiana.
518
00:37:09,769 --> 00:37:11,854
He picked me up outside of Shreveport.
519
00:37:11,938 --> 00:37:13,564
- You rode...
- You heard me.
520
00:37:14,149 --> 00:37:15,983
[Al narrating] Then it all came back to me.
521
00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:18,652
All the talk about dueling
and scars and scratches.
522
00:37:19,613 --> 00:37:21,363
There was no doubt about it.
523
00:37:21,448 --> 00:37:23,949
Vera must be the woman
Haskell had mentioned.
524
00:37:24,034 --> 00:37:25,784
She must have passed me while I slept.
525
00:37:25,869 --> 00:37:28,871
Well? Well, I'm waiting.
526
00:37:28,955 --> 00:37:30,331
My goose was cooked.
527
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:32,082
She had me.
528
00:37:32,876 --> 00:37:34,668
That Haskell guy wasn't dead yet.
529
00:37:35,253 --> 00:37:38,172
He wasn't stretched out stiff and cold
in any Arizona gully.
530
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:41,425
He was sitting right there in the car,
laughing like mad while he haunted me.
531
00:37:43,345 --> 00:37:44,303
Well?
532
00:37:44,387 --> 00:37:47,514
There was nothing I could say.
It was her move.
533
00:37:48,224 --> 00:37:50,142
Vera, whatever her name was.
534
00:37:50,226 --> 00:37:52,478
It was just my luck
picking her up on the road.
535
00:37:53,313 --> 00:37:56,148
It couldn't have been Helen
or Mary or Evelyn or Ruth.
536
00:37:57,025 --> 00:37:59,526
It had to be the very last person
I should ever have met.
537
00:38:00,820 --> 00:38:01,820
That's life.
538
00:38:02,697 --> 00:38:05,491
Whichever way you turn,
fate sticks out a foot to trip you.
539
00:38:11,081 --> 00:38:13,457
I told her everything,
but she didn't believe my story.
540
00:38:13,541 --> 00:38:15,167
I should've saved my breath.
541
00:38:15,251 --> 00:38:17,670
That's the greatest cock-and-bull story
I ever heard.
542
00:38:17,754 --> 00:38:19,380
So he fell out of his car.
543
00:38:19,464 --> 00:38:21,507
Say, who do you think
you're talking to, a hick?
544
00:38:21,591 --> 00:38:23,592
Listen, mister. I've been around.
545
00:38:23,677 --> 00:38:27,054
And I know a wrong guy when I see one.
What'd you do, kiss him with a wrench?
546
00:38:27,138 --> 00:38:29,264
Now wait a minute.
What I told you was true.
547
00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:30,891
You see, that's why I had to do it.
548
00:38:30,976 --> 00:38:33,352
You think I killed him.
Well, the cops would've thought so too.
549
00:38:33,436 --> 00:38:35,187
Yeah, well maybe they still think so.
550
00:38:36,106 --> 00:38:38,482
What makes you so sure
I'll shut up about this?
551
00:38:38,566 --> 00:38:41,318
Vera, I'm innocent.
Give me a break, will you?
552
00:38:42,696 --> 00:38:44,488
It won't do me any good
having you pinched.
553
00:38:44,572 --> 00:38:46,115
The cops are no friends of mine.
554
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:49,076
Now, if there was a reward...
But there isn't.
555
00:38:49,703 --> 00:38:51,912
- Thanks.
- Don't thank me yet.
556
00:38:51,997 --> 00:38:55,332
I'm not through with you by a long shot.
Let's see that roll.
557
00:39:02,090 --> 00:39:03,674
Is that all Haskell had?
558
00:39:03,758 --> 00:39:05,509
- Isn't it enough?
- No, I thought he had more.
559
00:39:05,593 --> 00:39:07,845
Not that I know of. You can search me
if you think I'm holding out on you.
560
00:39:07,929 --> 00:39:09,596
Well, maybe I will at that.
561
00:39:09,681 --> 00:39:11,807
He told me he was gonna bet $3,000
562
00:39:11,891 --> 00:39:14,560
on a horse named Paradisiacal
on Wednesday at Santa Anita.
563
00:39:14,644 --> 00:39:16,979
- He was stringing you along. He meant 300.
- Maybe.
564
00:39:17,063 --> 00:39:20,357
Sure. Three bucks, 300.
He was a piece of cheese, a big blowhard.
565
00:39:20,442 --> 00:39:23,277
Listen, mister. Don't try and tell me
anything about Charlie Haskell.
566
00:39:23,361 --> 00:39:25,279
Remember, I knew him better than you did.
567
00:39:25,363 --> 00:39:28,073
Okay, then you knew he was a four-flusher.
That explains the three-grand bet.
568
00:39:28,158 --> 00:39:30,576
I'm not so sure
he didn't have that three grand.
569
00:39:30,660 --> 00:39:34,121
Why should I believe you?
You got all the earmarks of a cheap crook.
570
00:39:34,205 --> 00:39:35,622
- Now, wait a minute.
- Shut up.
571
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:37,207
You're a cheap crook and you killed him.
572
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:39,418
For two cents,
I'd change my mind and turn you in.
573
00:39:39,502 --> 00:39:40,794
I don't like you!
574
00:39:40,879 --> 00:39:43,338
- All right, all right. Don't get sore.
- I'm not getting sore.
575
00:39:43,423 --> 00:39:45,507
But just remember who's boss around here.
576
00:39:45,592 --> 00:39:47,134
If you shut up
and don't give me any arguments,
577
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:48,677
you'll have nothing to worry about.
578
00:39:48,762 --> 00:39:50,512
But if you act wise, well, mister,
579
00:39:50,597 --> 00:39:53,182
you'll pop into jail so fast
it'll give you the bends.
580
00:39:53,266 --> 00:39:55,059
- I'm not arguing.
- Well, see that you don't.
581
00:39:55,143 --> 00:39:56,477
You know, as crooked as you look,
582
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:59,605
I'd hate to see a fella as young as you
wind up sniffing that perfume
583
00:39:59,689 --> 00:40:01,482
that Arizona hands out free to murderers.
584
00:40:01,566 --> 00:40:03,233
- I'm not a murderer.
- Of course you're not.
585
00:40:03,318 --> 00:40:04,693
Haskell knocked his own head off.
586
00:40:04,778 --> 00:40:06,278
He fell. That's how it happened,
just like I told you.
587
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:08,530
Sure, and then he made you a present
of his belongings.
588
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:10,324
- I explained why...
- Oh, skip it.
589
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:13,118
Doesn't make a difference one way
or another. I'm not a mourner.
590
00:40:13,203 --> 00:40:15,412
I liked Haskell even less than I like you.
591
00:40:15,955 --> 00:40:17,372
Yeah, I saw what you did to him.
592
00:40:17,457 --> 00:40:19,541
- What do you mean?
- Those scratches on his wrists.
593
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:20,959
Sure, I scratched him.
594
00:40:21,961 --> 00:40:23,128
I'll say you did.
595
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:26,673
So your idea was
to drive the car a little way,
596
00:40:26,758 --> 00:40:28,967
maybe into San Bernardino,
and then leave it.
597
00:40:29,052 --> 00:40:30,385
You weren't gonna sell it?
598
00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:33,597
Sell it? You think I'm crazy?
Somebody else's car?
599
00:40:33,681 --> 00:40:36,266
All I wanna do is leave it somewhere
and forget I ever saw it.
600
00:40:36,351 --> 00:40:39,269
Not only don't you have any scruples,
you don't have any brains.
601
00:40:39,354 --> 00:40:42,022
- I don't get you.
- Maybe it's a good thing you met me.
602
00:40:42,107 --> 00:40:44,983
You would of got yourself caught, sure.
Why, you dope.
603
00:40:45,068 --> 00:40:48,362
Don't you know a deserted automobile
always rates an investigation?
604
00:40:48,696 --> 00:40:49,863
Huh?
605
00:40:49,948 --> 00:40:52,783
Look. The cops find a car.
Then they get curious.
606
00:40:52,867 --> 00:40:54,493
They wonder where the owner is.
607
00:40:54,577 --> 00:40:57,996
So, all right, they don't trace Haskell.
They trace you.
608
00:40:58,206 --> 00:40:59,790
I never thought of that.
609
00:40:59,874 --> 00:41:02,626
The only safe way to get rid of the car
is to sell it to a dealer,
610
00:41:02,710 --> 00:41:04,253
get it registered under a new name.
611
00:41:04,754 --> 00:41:06,004
Say, stop at the next store.
612
00:41:06,089 --> 00:41:08,882
I wanna get a bottle and do some shopping
before we hit LA.
613
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:12,219
Okay. Soon as we find a place,
I'll drop you off and pick you up later.
614
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:14,429
Nothin' doin'. You're coming in too.
615
00:41:14,514 --> 00:41:17,349
From now on,
you and I are like the Siamese twins.
616
00:41:17,433 --> 00:41:19,434
Have it your way,
but I don't get the point.
617
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:21,687
The point is I don't want you to get lost.
618
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:23,397
I'm not gonna beat it,
if that's what you're afraid of.
619
00:41:23,481 --> 00:41:24,648
I'll say you're not.
620
00:41:24,732 --> 00:41:27,568
Well, I'm gonna see that you sell this car
so you don't get caught.
621
00:41:27,652 --> 00:41:31,446
Thanks. Of course, your interest
wouldn't be financial, would it?
622
00:41:31,531 --> 00:41:33,699
You wouldn't want
a small percentage of the profits?
623
00:41:34,284 --> 00:41:37,202
Well, now that you insist,
how can I refuse?
624
00:41:37,287 --> 00:41:38,912
A hundred percent'll do.
625
00:41:38,997 --> 00:41:40,873
Fine. I'm relieved.
626
00:41:40,957 --> 00:41:43,208
I thought for a moment
you were gonna take it all.
627
00:41:43,293 --> 00:41:44,710
I don't want to be a hog.
628
00:41:46,588 --> 00:41:48,672
[Al narrating] A few hours later,
we were in Hollywood.
629
00:41:49,090 --> 00:41:51,466
I was recognizing places
Sue had written about.
630
00:41:52,051 --> 00:41:55,012
It struck me that,
far from being at the end of the trip,
631
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:58,098
there was a greater distance between Sue
and me than when I started out.
632
00:41:59,434 --> 00:42:02,060
Vera wasn't kidding
with that Siamese twins crack.
633
00:42:02,687 --> 00:42:06,106
She rented a little apartment
as Mrs. Charles Haskell.
634
00:42:07,025 --> 00:42:10,110
When I objected to this, she explained
that it was on account of the car.
635
00:42:10,612 --> 00:42:12,154
A dealer might think something was funny
636
00:42:12,238 --> 00:42:14,531
if he called and found
we were using different names.
637
00:42:19,704 --> 00:42:21,538
- Home, sweet home.
- Yeah.
638
00:42:22,457 --> 00:42:23,498
Not bad, either.
639
00:42:31,466 --> 00:42:33,842
In case there's any doubt in your mind,
I'll take the bedroom.
640
00:42:34,302 --> 00:42:35,177
Yeah.
641
00:42:36,471 --> 00:42:37,846
Sure is stuffy in here.
642
00:42:45,980 --> 00:42:47,689
- Keep the window shut.
- Okay.
643
00:42:50,026 --> 00:42:53,487
The old crow downstairs said
there's a folding bed behind this door.
644
00:42:59,535 --> 00:43:00,702
You know how to work it?
645
00:43:04,457 --> 00:43:05,540
I invented it.
646
00:43:09,504 --> 00:43:11,630
- Some joint.
- One can't have everything.
647
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,387
I'm first in the bathtub.
648
00:43:19,180 --> 00:43:22,140
I don't know why,
but I figured you would be.
649
00:43:31,985 --> 00:43:35,570
Boy, oh, boy. [sighs]
It sure feels good to be clean again.
650
00:43:36,948 --> 00:43:38,407
I must be ten pounds lighter.
651
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:40,450
You must be.
652
00:43:40,535 --> 00:43:42,077
[saxophone playing]
653
00:43:42,161 --> 00:43:45,372
Well, hitchin' rides isn't exactly the way
you keep your schoolgirl complexion.
654
00:43:49,585 --> 00:43:51,712
I wish that guy with the sax
would give up.
655
00:43:53,089 --> 00:43:54,423
It gets on my nerves.
656
00:43:56,509 --> 00:43:57,509
Forget it.
657
00:44:00,138 --> 00:44:01,179
Have a drink.
658
00:44:02,390 --> 00:44:04,141
Aren't you afraid
I'm gonna take you up on it?
659
00:44:06,269 --> 00:44:08,562
If I didn't wanna give you a drink,
I wouldn't have offered it.
660
00:44:09,731 --> 00:44:12,983
Why be a sorehead, Roberts?
You got yourself into this thing.
661
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:15,902
You should be grateful
I'm not turning you in.
662
00:44:16,904 --> 00:44:19,114
Why, if I wasn't regular,
you'd be in the pen this minute
663
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:22,284
being photographed, fingerprinted,
and being pushed around by the cops.
664
00:44:23,077 --> 00:44:25,620
So cheer up. Get rid of that long puss.
665
00:44:27,874 --> 00:44:29,666
Or is your conscience bothering you?
666
00:44:34,672 --> 00:44:35,505
No.
667
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:37,382
It isn't.
668
00:44:37,467 --> 00:44:39,468
Swell. That's the spirit.
669
00:44:41,012 --> 00:44:43,180
He's dead,
and no moaning around will bring him back.
670
00:44:46,684 --> 00:44:50,312
Anyway, I never could understand this worrying
about something that's over and done with.
671
00:44:50,396 --> 00:44:52,439
Now look, Vera.
For the last time, I didn't kill him.
672
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:53,982
Haskell was a sick man.
673
00:44:54,067 --> 00:44:56,109
Maybe he was dead before he fell
out of the car. I don't know.
674
00:44:56,194 --> 00:44:58,403
Sure, sure. He died of old age.
675
00:44:59,364 --> 00:45:00,364
All right.
676
00:45:01,324 --> 00:45:02,824
So if it'll make you sociable...
677
00:45:04,577 --> 00:45:05,827
you didn't kill him.
678
00:45:16,464 --> 00:45:17,297
Thanks.
679
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:31,186
- We're outta liquor, Roberts.
- Yeah.
680
00:45:32,313 --> 00:45:35,440
Too bad.
I felt like getting tight tonight.
681
00:45:35,525 --> 00:45:37,567
Well, I think you succeeded.
682
00:45:37,652 --> 00:45:40,737
- Am I tight?
- As a prima donna's corset.
683
00:45:40,822 --> 00:45:42,197
- That's good.
- [glass clatters]
684
00:45:42,281 --> 00:45:44,074
I wanted to get tight.
685
00:45:44,158 --> 00:45:46,785
Why? What have you got to get tight about?
686
00:45:46,869 --> 00:45:49,246
Oh, I don't know. A few things.
687
00:45:50,123 --> 00:45:50,956
[Al] Huh.
688
00:45:52,583 --> 00:45:54,042
You should have my worries.
689
00:45:54,127 --> 00:45:56,670
If I had your troubles, I'd stay sober.
690
00:45:56,754 --> 00:45:58,380
And I've got the key to that door.
691
00:46:01,926 --> 00:46:04,678
Yeah. Maybe you're right.
692
00:46:04,762 --> 00:46:06,388
I'm always right.
693
00:46:07,723 --> 00:46:10,183
You know, I don't like your attitude,
Roberts.
694
00:46:10,268 --> 00:46:12,018
Well, there's a lot of things I don't like.
695
00:46:13,479 --> 00:46:14,813
Say...
696
00:46:17,191 --> 00:46:19,276
But life's like a ball game.
697
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,111
You got to take a swing
at whatever comes along
698
00:46:21,195 --> 00:46:23,613
before you wake up
and find it's the ninth inning.
699
00:46:24,532 --> 00:46:25,782
Bet you read that somewhere.
700
00:46:25,867 --> 00:46:29,703
That's the trouble with you, Roberts.
All you do is bellyache.
701
00:46:30,788 --> 00:46:35,500
You could have taken it easy and,
well, try and make the best of things.
702
00:46:35,585 --> 00:46:38,378
But maybe that's what's wrong
with the whole world.
703
00:46:38,463 --> 00:46:40,297
Get the professor.
704
00:46:40,381 --> 00:46:43,133
People knock themselves out
trying to buck fate.
705
00:46:43,217 --> 00:46:46,386
Now take you, for instance.
You're lucky to be alive.
706
00:46:46,471 --> 00:46:49,055
Why, suppose Haskell had pulled open
your door?
707
00:46:49,140 --> 00:46:51,850
You'd be playing a harp now.
Think of that.
708
00:46:53,603 --> 00:46:56,855
You think of it. I'm tired of thinking.
709
00:46:56,939 --> 00:46:59,816
There's plenty of people dying this minute
710
00:46:59,901 --> 00:47:02,402
that would give anything
to trade places with you.
711
00:47:04,363 --> 00:47:05,989
I know what I'm talking about.
712
00:47:07,033 --> 00:47:10,744
I'm not so sure.
At least they know they're done for.
713
00:47:10,828 --> 00:47:13,580
They don't just sweat blood
wondering if they are.
714
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:16,750
Your philosophy stinks, pal.
715
00:47:18,002 --> 00:47:21,796
We all know we're gonna kick off someday.
It's only a question of when.
716
00:47:23,591 --> 00:47:26,551
But what got us on this subject anyway?
717
00:47:26,636 --> 00:47:28,553
We'll be discussing politics next.
718
00:47:29,388 --> 00:47:30,472
Yeah.
719
00:47:32,058 --> 00:47:33,433
Where'd you hide the butts?
720
00:47:34,310 --> 00:47:35,936
On the table, sucker.
721
00:47:43,611 --> 00:47:47,113
[Al narrating] We bored each other with
conversation for a couple of hours longer.
722
00:47:47,198 --> 00:47:50,408
Every five minutes, one of us was wishing
we had another bottle or a radio
723
00:47:50,493 --> 00:47:52,118
or something to read.
724
00:47:53,538 --> 00:47:55,247
Then finally we ran out of chat.
725
00:47:56,207 --> 00:47:57,499
I know it's only eleven o'clock,
726
00:47:57,583 --> 00:48:00,085
but I want to get up early
and make the rounds to the used car lots.
727
00:48:00,169 --> 00:48:03,088
No hurry about that.
We got all the time in the world.
728
00:48:03,172 --> 00:48:05,257
Maybe you have, but if you think
I want to stay cooped up in this place
729
00:48:05,341 --> 00:48:06,925
any longer than I have to, you're batty.
730
00:48:07,009 --> 00:48:10,262
It's not a bad place. Pay plenty
for diggings like this in New York.
731
00:48:10,346 --> 00:48:12,347
I wouldn't like it if it was the Ritz.
732
00:48:12,431 --> 00:48:14,849
[coughs]
733
00:48:16,602 --> 00:48:18,144
Rotten liquor. [coughs]
734
00:48:18,229 --> 00:48:20,981
You got a mean cough.
Ought to do something about it.
735
00:48:21,065 --> 00:48:22,315
I'll be all right.
736
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,817
That's what Camille said.
737
00:48:24,527 --> 00:48:25,652
Who?
738
00:48:25,736 --> 00:48:27,195
Nobody you know.
739
00:48:30,908 --> 00:48:33,368
- Wasn't that the dame that died of consumption?
- Yeah.
740
00:48:34,704 --> 00:48:37,289
Wouldn't it be a break for you
if I did kick off.
741
00:48:37,373 --> 00:48:40,333
You'd be free
with all Haskell's dough and car.
742
00:48:40,418 --> 00:48:42,043
I don't want to see anybody die.
743
00:48:43,212 --> 00:48:44,921
Not even me?
744
00:48:45,006 --> 00:48:48,008
Especially not you. One person died on me.
745
00:48:48,092 --> 00:48:50,510
If you did, well, that's all I need.
746
00:48:52,388 --> 00:48:54,222
You don't like me, do you, Roberts?
747
00:48:55,933 --> 00:48:56,975
Like you?
748
00:48:58,352 --> 00:48:59,769
I love you.
749
00:49:01,022 --> 00:49:02,981
My favorite sport is being kept prisoner.
750
00:49:04,025 --> 00:49:07,485
After we sell the car, you can go to blazes
for all I care, but not until then.
751
00:49:14,910 --> 00:49:16,536
I'm going to bed.
752
00:49:24,962 --> 00:49:26,463
Good night, Roberts.
753
00:49:26,547 --> 00:49:29,549
Don't try and sneak away during the night.
All the doors are locked.
754
00:49:29,634 --> 00:49:33,136
Anyway, if I find you gone in the morning,
I'll notify the police.
755
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:35,889
- They'll pick you up.
- Don't worry. I know when I'm in a spot.
756
00:49:36,974 --> 00:49:40,935
Well, good night. I hope that portable
rack isn't too uncomfortable for you.
757
00:49:41,020 --> 00:49:43,146
Don't lose any sleep over it,
will you, Vera?
758
00:49:44,940 --> 00:49:47,025
[key scratching lock]
759
00:50:20,601 --> 00:50:21,935
[softly] CRestview...
760
00:50:23,813 --> 00:50:29,651
6... 5... 7,
761
00:50:29,735 --> 00:50:32,654
[whispers] 2... 3.
762
00:50:33,948 --> 00:50:35,073
Hello?
763
00:50:36,117 --> 00:50:37,117
Hello!
764
00:50:38,327 --> 00:50:39,411
Hello?
765
00:50:40,579 --> 00:50:41,746
Hello?
766
00:50:48,295 --> 00:50:51,881
No. Not yet, darling.
767
00:50:53,134 --> 00:50:54,509
Tomorrow.
768
00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:56,928
Maybe.
769
00:51:00,391 --> 00:51:01,891
[Al narrating] if this were fiction,
770
00:51:01,976 --> 00:51:05,562
I would fall in love with her, marry her,
and make a respectable woman of her,
771
00:51:05,646 --> 00:51:09,816
or else she'd make some supreme,
class-A sacrifice for me and die.
772
00:51:11,152 --> 00:51:13,361
Sue and I would ball a little
over her grave
773
00:51:13,446 --> 00:51:16,448
and make some crack about
"there's good in all of us."
774
00:51:16,532 --> 00:51:20,160
But Vera, unfortunately,
was just as rotten in the morning
775
00:51:20,244 --> 00:51:21,870
as she'd been the night before.
776
00:51:21,954 --> 00:51:23,455
[knocking]
777
00:51:23,539 --> 00:51:25,415
All right, all right, I'm coming.
778
00:51:25,499 --> 00:51:27,459
[Al] Look, Vera, it's almost noon.
779
00:51:29,003 --> 00:51:31,254
So what?
The dealers will be there all day.
780
00:51:31,338 --> 00:51:34,007
They'll be there all year too, but it
doesn't mean I'm gonna wait that long.
781
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:36,551
Shut up.
You're making noises like a husband.
782
00:51:39,180 --> 00:51:42,932
- Well, do I rate a whistle?
- You sure do, but let's go.
783
00:51:43,017 --> 00:51:46,519
Let's go, let's go. I spend 85 bucks
and two hours preparing bait,
784
00:51:46,604 --> 00:51:48,188
and all you can say is "Let's go."
785
00:51:48,272 --> 00:51:51,274
[sighs] Come on.
786
00:51:56,071 --> 00:51:58,698
We passed a few used car lots
last night down this way.
787
00:51:58,783 --> 00:52:00,784
What do you think
we can get for this heap?
788
00:52:00,868 --> 00:52:04,496
I don't know. Plenty.
You just let me handle everything.
789
00:52:04,580 --> 00:52:06,206
You think we can get $2,000?
790
00:52:06,290 --> 00:52:07,707
I don't know. But don't worry.
791
00:52:07,792 --> 00:52:10,126
I'll squeeze as much
out of this guy as I can.
792
00:52:10,211 --> 00:52:13,296
If I let it go cheap without a fight,
he might think we've stolen the car.
793
00:52:13,380 --> 00:52:17,675
And listen, don't make any slips
and call me Roberts. That'll cook us.
794
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,636
I don't need you to tell me that.
795
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:21,930
You better just sit by
and keep your mouth closed.
796
00:52:22,014 --> 00:52:24,015
Remember, we're both in the soup
if anything happens.
797
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:25,642
Forget it and drive.
798
00:52:25,726 --> 00:52:28,144
You're my wife... Vera Haskell.
799
00:52:28,229 --> 00:52:32,315
Look, after the deal's closed, let's go
back to that place on Hollywood Boulevard
800
00:52:32,399 --> 00:52:33,942
where I saw the fur jacket.
801
00:52:34,026 --> 00:52:35,235
I want to buy it.
802
00:52:35,319 --> 00:52:37,987
After the deal's closed,
I'm saying good-bye to you.
803
00:52:38,072 --> 00:52:41,491
That's right. I forgot.
I guess I'm getting kind of used to you.
804
00:52:42,743 --> 00:52:45,036
Well, that's a habit
you can start breaking.
805
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,455
Let's try this place
in the middle of the block.
806
00:52:53,671 --> 00:52:55,129
Good afternoon. What can I do for you?
807
00:52:55,214 --> 00:52:58,508
- We're interested in selling a car.
- If the price is right.
808
00:53:01,387 --> 00:53:05,473
Well, if it's in good mechanical condition,
it should blue book for about 1,600.
809
00:53:06,475 --> 00:53:07,892
Tony, take a look at this motor.
810
00:53:07,977 --> 00:53:10,228
1,600. Are you kidding?
811
00:53:14,108 --> 00:53:15,900
[car hood opening]
812
00:53:21,448 --> 00:53:23,283
Well, maybe 1,850.
813
00:53:23,367 --> 00:53:26,744
Before I let it go for 1,850, I'll wreck it
and collect the insurance first.
814
00:53:26,829 --> 00:53:27,912
[coughs]
815
00:53:31,375 --> 00:53:33,376
Lady, this motor's seen a lot of driving.
816
00:53:39,925 --> 00:53:43,219
[Al narrating] While the mechanic
inspected the car, we haggled.
817
00:53:43,721 --> 00:53:46,973
At last, when we were all worn out,
we hit a compromise...
818
00:53:47,057 --> 00:53:48,600
his price.
819
00:53:51,896 --> 00:53:53,104
Okay, it's a deal.
820
00:53:53,188 --> 00:53:56,524
- Come in, we'll sign the papers.
- I have the ownership papers here with me.
821
00:53:56,609 --> 00:53:59,319
Look, Vera, in the meantime,
will you clean out the dash compartment?
822
00:53:59,403 --> 00:54:02,196
- There may be some stuff in it.
- All right, darling.
823
00:54:04,325 --> 00:54:06,534
1,850 bucks.
824
00:54:06,619 --> 00:54:08,244
That dirty cr...
825
00:54:15,544 --> 00:54:17,420
- Mm, New York, huh?
- Yeah.
826
00:54:17,504 --> 00:54:20,757
- But you bought the car in Miami?
- Yeah.
827
00:54:20,841 --> 00:54:22,467
Well, now, let's see about the insurance.
828
00:54:22,551 --> 00:54:24,552
We can either have it transferred
or canceled.
829
00:54:24,637 --> 00:54:27,263
Uh, what kind of insurance do you have,
Mr. Haskell?
830
00:54:28,432 --> 00:54:31,559
Well, uh, aren't all the papers there?
831
00:54:33,729 --> 00:54:37,857
I don't see any. Surely you know what type
of insurance you carry on the car.
832
00:54:37,942 --> 00:54:39,442
The name of the company?
833
00:54:40,277 --> 00:54:41,486
Yeah, but, uh...
834
00:54:41,570 --> 00:54:43,321
Well, if you'll just tell me
the name of the company,
835
00:54:43,405 --> 00:54:45,114
I'd be very glad to take care
of all the details.
836
00:54:45,199 --> 00:54:46,324
Well...
837
00:54:46,408 --> 00:54:48,409
- Did you sign the papers yet?
- Not yet.
838
00:54:48,494 --> 00:54:50,536
Well, don't. We're not selling the car.
839
00:54:50,621 --> 00:54:52,538
- Well, wait a minute, Mrs. Haskell...
- Come on, darling.
840
00:54:52,623 --> 00:54:55,917
- What's the matter? Change your mind?
- Yes. I'm sorry. I guess I have.
841
00:54:56,001 --> 00:54:57,377
- But, Vera...
- Let's go.
842
00:55:03,384 --> 00:55:06,636
You got me out of a tight spot, Vera,
but I still don't understand all this.
843
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:09,722
You will in a minute.
I almost threw away a gold mine.
844
00:55:09,807 --> 00:55:13,726
1,850 isn't to be sneezed at. The car
doesn't book for as much as I thought.
845
00:55:13,811 --> 00:55:15,478
We're not selling the car.
846
00:55:15,562 --> 00:55:17,438
You want to keep it?
Now wait a minute, Vera.
847
00:55:17,523 --> 00:55:20,608
You said yourself I wouldn't be safe
until the car was in someone else's name.
848
00:55:20,693 --> 00:55:22,360
I'd like to be free of this mess
when I go.
849
00:55:22,444 --> 00:55:24,612
That's just it, Roberts. You're not going.
850
00:55:25,531 --> 00:55:27,365
- [sighs]
- There's a drive-in at the next corner.
851
00:55:27,449 --> 00:55:30,201
Pull in there and we'll get a bite to eat
and I'll explain.
852
00:55:30,285 --> 00:55:32,453
What is this,
another one of your brilliant ideas?
853
00:55:38,794 --> 00:55:41,671
- Hello. May I take your order?
- Make mine a ham sandwich and coffee.
854
00:55:41,755 --> 00:55:44,340
- And for you, sir?
- Oh, I don't care. The same.
855
00:55:46,510 --> 00:55:47,719
Thank you.
856
00:55:52,224 --> 00:55:55,226
Get this, Vera,
I've been pretty patient so far.
857
00:55:55,310 --> 00:55:57,311
I've done everything you asked me to do,
but no more.
858
00:55:57,396 --> 00:55:59,564
- Shut up.
- You've taken Haskell's money.
859
00:55:59,648 --> 00:56:01,524
And you can have the dough we get
from selling the car,
860
00:56:01,608 --> 00:56:03,192
but you're not gonna keep me a prisoner.
861
00:56:03,277 --> 00:56:05,069
It's a good thing I bought the paper.
Look at that.
862
00:56:05,154 --> 00:56:07,030
- Vera, I'm in no mood...
- Read that.
863
00:56:17,708 --> 00:56:19,292
- No.
- Yes.
864
00:56:19,376 --> 00:56:20,960
- No, I won't do it.
- Yes, you will.
865
00:56:21,045 --> 00:56:23,254
You think I'm crazy.
It's impossible, I tell ya.
866
00:56:24,131 --> 00:56:25,173
Excuse me.
867
00:56:30,637 --> 00:56:32,138
Blow the horn when you're through.
868
00:56:35,350 --> 00:56:38,561
No one could possibly get away with an act
like that. Be wise to me in a minute.
869
00:56:38,645 --> 00:56:39,812
Don't be yellow.
870
00:56:39,897 --> 00:56:42,690
You look enough like him.
The same coloring and the same build.
871
00:56:42,775 --> 00:56:44,358
See how his clothes fit ya?
872
00:56:44,443 --> 00:56:46,235
No kidding. You almost
had me fooled for a while.
873
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:47,528
Oh, grow up, Vera.
874
00:56:47,613 --> 00:56:50,406
Don't you think a father knows his own
son? There must be other relatives.
875
00:56:50,491 --> 00:56:53,326
The father won't have to know ya.
We'll wait till he gives up the ghost.
876
00:56:53,410 --> 00:56:55,411
He's an old geezer
and he won't pull through.
877
00:56:55,496 --> 00:56:59,373
And as far as the relatives are concerned,
they haven't seen you in 15 or 20 years.
878
00:57:00,876 --> 00:57:02,585
- Eat.
- I'm not hungry.
879
00:57:03,253 --> 00:57:06,130
- And I won't do it.
- It's not as tough as it sounds.
880
00:57:06,215 --> 00:57:08,049
Remember, you've got
all kinds of identification...
881
00:57:08,133 --> 00:57:09,133
his car, letters, license...
882
00:57:09,218 --> 00:57:11,761
I could never get away with it.
It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
883
00:57:11,845 --> 00:57:13,888
The old boy has scads of dough.
884
00:57:13,972 --> 00:57:17,141
Look in the paper there. Personal fortune
assessed at over 15 million.
885
00:57:17,226 --> 00:57:18,684
He'll leave plenty, I tell ya.
886
00:57:18,769 --> 00:57:20,937
Maybe he cut off his son.
How do we know?
887
00:57:21,021 --> 00:57:23,606
It's out, Vera.
I won't have anything to do with it.
888
00:57:24,817 --> 00:57:27,068
I think you will.
889
00:57:27,152 --> 00:57:30,696
Look, Vera, I'll do anything
within reason, but not that.
890
00:57:30,781 --> 00:57:32,698
So forget it or find yourself another stooge.
891
00:57:32,783 --> 00:57:34,033
You sap!
892
00:57:34,785 --> 00:57:36,911
You'll be fixed for the rest of your life
as Charlie Haskell.
893
00:57:36,995 --> 00:57:40,081
You can take your inheritance and go away.
No more worrying about the rent.
894
00:57:40,165 --> 00:57:42,291
No sweating, scheming, wondering
where your next meal's coming from!
895
00:57:42,376 --> 00:57:43,417
Think about that, Roberts!
896
00:57:43,502 --> 00:57:46,295
Vera, please. You're talking too loud.
897
00:57:46,713 --> 00:57:49,298
On this I'm splitting 50-50 with you.
Sure, why not?
898
00:57:49,383 --> 00:57:51,050
We're both alike.
Both born in the same gutter.
899
00:57:51,135 --> 00:57:52,301
Now take it easy, Vera.
900
00:57:52,386 --> 00:57:54,637
There's people around here.
You don't know what you're talking...
901
00:57:55,806 --> 00:57:59,684
We'll wait till we read that old man
Haskell's dead. Then you show up.
902
00:57:59,768 --> 00:58:02,061
Like you read in New York
that he was sick.
903
00:58:02,146 --> 00:58:04,772
No! Suppose he doesn't die?
904
00:58:04,857 --> 00:58:06,941
He will. I know he will.
Something tells me.
905
00:58:09,611 --> 00:58:12,405
[Al narrating] But as much as I insisted
I would have no part of her scheme,
906
00:58:12,489 --> 00:58:14,448
Vera was taking it for granted I would.
907
00:58:16,535 --> 00:58:19,954
Neither of us had our mind on the cards
as we played that night.
908
00:58:20,038 --> 00:58:23,207
I knew we were just trying to kill time
between newspaper editions.
909
00:58:24,042 --> 00:58:26,002
This was a deathwatch for Vera.
910
00:58:27,129 --> 00:58:28,713
Maybe it was for me too.
911
00:58:28,797 --> 00:58:32,383
Don't you realize if I'm caught they'll want
to know where I got the car and stuff?
912
00:58:32,467 --> 00:58:35,595
- Then they'll have me on a murder charge.
- If you're smart, you won't get caught.
913
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:37,054
I knock with seven.
914
00:58:37,139 --> 00:58:39,348
And if I'm caught,
don't you realize you'll be out too?
915
00:58:39,808 --> 00:58:42,935
Eighteen points. That gives me 30.
916
00:58:44,188 --> 00:58:45,438
How will I be out?
917
00:58:45,522 --> 00:58:47,982
You'll be out $1,850 we would have gotten
on the car.
918
00:58:48,066 --> 00:58:49,483
Really, Vera, you'd be an awful chump
919
00:58:49,568 --> 00:58:51,569
if you threw away all that dough
on a dizzy long shot.
920
00:58:51,653 --> 00:58:52,904
Let me sell the bus tomorrow.
921
00:58:52,988 --> 00:58:54,655
With the money it'll bring
and what you've already got,
922
00:58:54,740 --> 00:58:56,449
a clever kid like you
can run it up in no time.
923
00:58:56,533 --> 00:58:59,035
- Then we'd both be in the clear.
- I'll be in the clear anyway.
924
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:00,912
Maybe. Maybe.
925
00:59:00,996 --> 00:59:02,580
But if I got caught...
926
00:59:03,540 --> 00:59:06,083
- I'd get good and sore at you, you know.
- You mean you'd squeal?
927
00:59:06,168 --> 00:59:08,377
- Well, no, not squeal exactly...
- Never mind what you meant!
928
00:59:11,048 --> 00:59:14,425
Even if you did tell the cops
I was in on it with you,
929
00:59:14,509 --> 00:59:15,885
what could they do to me?
930
00:59:16,929 --> 00:59:19,347
They might give me the same medicine
they gave you.
931
00:59:19,431 --> 00:59:21,140
- Yeah.
- A rope.
932
00:59:23,644 --> 00:59:25,770
But I'm on my way anyhow.
933
00:59:27,731 --> 00:59:29,732
All they'll be doing will be rushing it.
934
00:59:30,359 --> 00:59:32,818
All right. But think of the 1,850 you'd lose.
935
00:59:32,903 --> 00:59:35,655
You'd kick yourself along the block
if you let that get away from you.
936
00:59:35,739 --> 00:59:38,658
I'll take the chance. Want another drink?
937
00:59:38,742 --> 00:59:41,744
You're being a goon. That's the way
people wind up behind the eight ball.
938
00:59:41,828 --> 00:59:44,330
Once they get a few dollars,
they become greedy and want more.
939
00:59:44,414 --> 00:59:45,706
My, my.
940
00:59:45,791 --> 00:59:46,791
- Caesar.
- Who?
941
00:59:46,875 --> 00:59:49,585
You know, that Roman general?
He got his for being greedy.
942
00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:52,838
He wasn't satisfied.
So the final windup was he took the count.
943
00:59:52,923 --> 00:59:55,299
A couple of days ago you didn't have a dime.
944
00:59:55,384 --> 00:59:58,219
Why, you were so broke
you couldn't pay cash for a postage stamp.
945
00:59:58,303 --> 01:00:01,347
Now you've got almost $700,
with 1,850 in the offing.
946
01:00:01,431 --> 01:00:03,099
Take my advice. Don't try for more.
947
01:00:03,183 --> 01:00:05,768
I'm tired of this game.
Let's have some blackjack.
948
01:00:05,852 --> 01:00:06,686
Play solitaire.
949
01:00:06,770 --> 01:00:09,313
- I will, if that's the way you feel about it.
- That's the way I feel about it.
950
01:00:09,398 --> 01:00:11,607
Getting sore and throwing things
won't help much, Roberts.
951
01:00:11,692 --> 01:00:15,111
I'm merely doing you a favor. I help you out of
a jam by keepin' my mouth shut.
952
01:00:15,195 --> 01:00:18,072
I show you how to make some soft money,
and what thanks do I get?
953
01:00:18,156 --> 01:00:19,156
- Thanks?
- Sure.
954
01:00:19,241 --> 01:00:21,659
Or would you rather I called the cops and told
them you killed a man and stole his money?
955
01:00:21,743 --> 01:00:22,827
- I didn't kill anybody.
- Yes, you did.
956
01:00:22,911 --> 01:00:25,705
- No, I didn't. You know I didn't.
- All right, then.
957
01:00:28,542 --> 01:00:30,251
Suppose I call the cops?
958
01:00:30,335 --> 01:00:32,920
If you're innocent,
what do you got to be scared of?
959
01:00:33,005 --> 01:00:36,590
Okay, call 'em, you mutt. Go ahead and call 'em.
See if I care.
960
01:00:36,675 --> 01:00:39,552
- At least they'll give me a square deal.
- You want me to call 'em?
961
01:00:39,636 --> 01:00:43,597
You heard me. But I'm warning ya.
If I'm pinched, I'll swear you were in on it.
962
01:00:43,682 --> 01:00:46,976
I'll say that you helped me.
If I'm frying, I'll get even with you.
963
01:00:47,060 --> 01:00:48,686
You wouldn't dare. You're chicken!
964
01:00:48,770 --> 01:00:52,815
Yeah? Then try it and see.
Call 'em. Yeah.
965
01:00:53,650 --> 01:00:55,067
Okay, I will.
966
01:00:57,112 --> 01:01:00,489
[dialing]
967
01:01:07,706 --> 01:01:09,915
Information.
968
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,835
I want the number
of the Hollywood police station.
969
01:01:14,713 --> 01:01:16,756
Okay, I got it. Thanks.
970
01:01:17,966 --> 01:01:19,592
[phone hook clicks]
971
01:01:19,676 --> 01:01:21,677
- [dialing]
- Wait a minute, Vera. You wouldn't do that.
972
01:01:21,762 --> 01:01:23,721
Oh, wouldn't I? Give me that
and I'll show you if I would!
973
01:01:23,805 --> 01:01:25,681
Take it easy now. Let's talk this over.
974
01:01:25,766 --> 01:01:27,558
[Al narrating]
This was early in the evening.
975
01:01:27,642 --> 01:01:32,146
And the conversation, while hectic,
was at least pitched low.
976
01:01:32,230 --> 01:01:36,776
But as the minutes passed and more obstacles
to her plan popped into my head,
977
01:01:36,860 --> 01:01:38,486
the air got blue.
978
01:01:38,570 --> 01:01:41,822
Each word coming from our lips
cracked like a whip.
979
01:01:41,907 --> 01:01:45,785
I reminded her that as Charles Haskell
I didn't even know my mother's name,
980
01:01:45,869 --> 01:01:47,578
where I'd gone to school,
981
01:01:47,662 --> 01:01:49,413
the name of my best friend,
982
01:01:49,498 --> 01:01:51,415
whether I had an Aunt Emma or not,
983
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:54,794
my religion, and if I'd ever owned a dog.
984
01:01:54,878 --> 01:01:57,463
I didn't even know
what my middle initial stood for.
985
01:01:57,547 --> 01:02:00,925
I also pointed out that the real Haskell
had a scar on his forearm.
986
01:02:01,510 --> 01:02:03,302
His people never saw that scar.
987
01:02:03,387 --> 01:02:05,596
He told me he ran away
right after putting out the kid's eye.
988
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,140
Yeah, but his father knew he was cut.
There'd have to be some kind of mark.
989
01:02:08,225 --> 01:02:10,434
So what?
990
01:02:10,519 --> 01:02:14,438
The old man's dead or will be.
I hope by tomorrow morning's papers.
991
01:02:14,523 --> 01:02:18,025
Anyway, you could cut yourself
a little, couldn't ya?
992
01:02:19,027 --> 01:02:22,321
Boy, for that kind of dough,
I'd let you cut my leg off.
993
01:02:22,406 --> 01:02:23,989
You're drunk and you're crazy mad, Vera.
994
01:02:24,074 --> 01:02:26,033
Turn me in if you want to,
but I won't get mixed up in this.
995
01:02:26,118 --> 01:02:28,160
Besides, how do we know?
Haskell was such a phony.
996
01:02:28,245 --> 01:02:30,371
Maybe he wasn't the man's son at all.
Maybe he just dreamed it up.
997
01:02:30,455 --> 01:02:35,918
Well, dreaming or not, you won't be dreaming
when the law taps you on the shoulder.
998
01:02:36,002 --> 01:02:39,588
There's a cute little gas chamber
waiting for you, Roberts.
999
01:02:39,673 --> 01:02:43,134
And I hear extradition to Arizona's a cinch.
1000
01:02:43,218 --> 01:02:45,052
Where's that phone?
1001
01:02:45,137 --> 01:02:46,512
- Vera.
- Leave me alone!
1002
01:02:46,596 --> 01:02:50,057
- Vera!
- I wanna phone, call the police.
1003
01:02:50,767 --> 01:02:54,812
I hate you, you stinker.
You leave me alone!
1004
01:02:54,896 --> 01:02:57,106
I'll let you alone when you promise to leave
the phone where it is.
1005
01:02:57,190 --> 01:02:59,150
- You're drunk. You don't know what you're doing.
- You're hurting me.
1006
01:02:59,234 --> 01:03:00,860
Will you promise?
1007
01:03:00,944 --> 01:03:02,528
All right.
1008
01:03:07,492 --> 01:03:10,327
- You hurt me.
- I'm sorry, but...
1009
01:03:10,412 --> 01:03:13,372
- And it's hot in here! Open up a window!
- It's not hot!
1010
01:03:13,457 --> 01:03:16,125
Don't tell me!
Now do you do it or do I do it?
1011
01:03:18,086 --> 01:03:19,837
You're no gentleman, see?
1012
01:03:19,921 --> 01:03:23,299
Yeah. All right, I'll open up the window.
1013
01:03:26,428 --> 01:03:27,511
Vera!
1014
01:03:31,892 --> 01:03:34,643
Vera, open the door.
Please open the door.
1015
01:03:34,728 --> 01:03:36,854
Vera, open the door.
Don't use the phone. Listen to me.
1016
01:03:37,522 --> 01:03:40,983
I don't like you, Roberts.
You're no gentleman, see?
1017
01:03:41,067 --> 01:03:45,154
You hurt my hand,
and I'm gonna get even with you.
1018
01:03:45,238 --> 01:03:48,407
If you don't open the door,
I'm gonna kick it down, Vera.
1019
01:03:48,492 --> 01:03:51,368
Vera, don't call the cops.
Listen to me, I'll do anything you say.
1020
01:03:52,287 --> 01:03:53,746
Vera, let me in!
1021
01:03:55,207 --> 01:03:56,665
I'll break the phone!
1022
01:04:14,267 --> 01:04:17,269
[grunting]
1023
01:04:22,609 --> 01:04:23,943
Vera.
1024
01:04:34,579 --> 01:04:36,539
[Al narrating] The world is full of skeptics.
1025
01:04:37,290 --> 01:04:39,667
I know. I'm one myself.
1026
01:04:40,669 --> 01:04:43,712
In the Haskell business, how many of you
would believe he fell out of the car?
1027
01:04:43,797 --> 01:04:46,173
And now, after killing Vera
without really meaning to do it,
1028
01:04:46,258 --> 01:04:48,676
how many of you would believe
it wasn't premeditated?
1029
01:04:49,719 --> 01:04:53,264
In a jury room, every last man of you
would go down shouting
1030
01:04:53,348 --> 01:04:56,058
that she had me over a barrel
and my only out was force.
1031
01:04:58,103 --> 01:04:59,728
The room was still.
1032
01:05:00,730 --> 01:05:03,691
So quiet that for a while I'd wondered
if I'd suddenly gone deaf.
1033
01:05:04,484 --> 01:05:06,235
It was pure fear, of course.
1034
01:05:06,319 --> 01:05:08,195
And I was hysterical,
1035
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:09,989
but without making a sound.
1036
01:05:11,324 --> 01:05:14,285
Vera was dead, and I was her murderer.
1037
01:05:15,370 --> 01:05:19,873
Murderer. What an awful word that is.
But I'd become one.
1038
01:05:19,958 --> 01:05:22,042
I'd better not get caught.
1039
01:05:22,127 --> 01:05:24,628
What evidence there was around the place
had to be destroyed.
1040
01:05:24,713 --> 01:05:26,505
And from the looks of things, there was plenty.
1041
01:05:26,590 --> 01:05:28,299
Looking around the room at things we'd bought
1042
01:05:28,383 --> 01:05:30,801
was like looking into the faces of
a hundred people who'd seen us together
1043
01:05:30,885 --> 01:05:32,803
and who remembered me.
1044
01:05:32,887 --> 01:05:35,306
This was the kind of testimony
I couldn't rub out.
1045
01:05:36,808 --> 01:05:38,058
No.
1046
01:05:38,143 --> 01:05:41,312
I could burn clothes and hide bottles
for the next five years.
1047
01:05:41,396 --> 01:05:42,855
There'd always be witnesses.
1048
01:05:42,939 --> 01:05:44,732
The landlady for one.
She could identify me.
1049
01:05:44,816 --> 01:05:46,233
The car dealer, the waitress in the drive-in,
1050
01:05:46,318 --> 01:05:48,819
the girl in the dress shop,
and that guy in the liquor store.
1051
01:05:48,903 --> 01:05:50,696
They could all identify me.
1052
01:05:52,032 --> 01:05:55,868
I was cooked. Done for.
I had to get out of there.
1053
01:05:57,203 --> 01:05:59,330
While once I remained beside a dead body
1054
01:05:59,414 --> 01:06:02,416
planning carefully how to avoid
being accused of killing him,
1055
01:06:02,500 --> 01:06:04,752
this time I couldn't.
1056
01:06:04,836 --> 01:06:06,503
This time I was guilty.
1057
01:06:07,422 --> 01:06:09,923
I knew it. Felt it.
1058
01:06:10,967 --> 01:06:13,218
I was like a guy suffering from shock.
1059
01:06:13,303 --> 01:06:14,970
Things were whirling around in my head.
1060
01:06:15,055 --> 01:06:17,890
I couldn't make myself think right.
1061
01:06:17,974 --> 01:06:21,435
All I could think of was the guy with
the saxophone and what he was playing.
1062
01:06:22,437 --> 01:06:24,021
It wasn't a love song anymore.
1063
01:06:24,814 --> 01:06:26,565
It was a dirge.

[jukebox: up-tempo band music]
1065
01:07:14,197 --> 01:07:16,615
[Al narrating]
But my problems weren't solved.
1066
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:19,493
I had to stay away from New York
for all time.
1067
01:07:20,328 --> 01:07:23,622
Because Al Roberts was listed as dead
and had to stay dead.
1068
01:07:24,332 --> 01:07:25,999
And I could never go back to Hollywood.
1069
01:07:26,835 --> 01:07:28,794
Someone might recognize me as Haskell.
1070
01:07:30,130 --> 01:07:33,048
- Then, too, there was Sue.
- [music stops]
1071
01:07:34,467 --> 01:07:37,803
I could never go to her with a thing
like this hanging over my head.
1072
01:07:39,180 --> 01:07:42,474
All I could do was pray she'd be happy.
1073
01:07:53,486 --> 01:07:57,656
I was in Bakersfield before I read
that Vera's body was discovered.
1074
01:07:57,741 --> 01:08:01,368
And that the police were looking for Haskell
in connection with his wife's murder.
1075
01:08:02,871 --> 01:08:04,413
Isn't that a laugh?
1076
01:08:05,081 --> 01:08:09,001
Haskell got me into this mess
and Haskell was getting me out of it.
1077
01:08:09,085 --> 01:08:11,170
The police were searching for a dead man.
1078
01:08:14,674 --> 01:08:16,884
I keep trying to forget what happened...
1079
01:08:18,261 --> 01:08:22,973
and wonder what my life might have been
if that car of Haskell's hadn't stopped.
1080
01:08:24,768 --> 01:08:26,935
But one thing I don't have to wonder about.
1081
01:08:28,146 --> 01:08:29,605
I know.
1082
01:08:31,107 --> 01:08:34,234
Someday a car will stop to pick me up
that I never thumbed.
1083
01:08:38,990 --> 01:08:39,865
Yes.
1084
01:08:40,742 --> 01:08:44,411
Fate... or some mysterious force
1085
01:08:44,496 --> 01:08:47,414
can put the finger on you or me
1086
01:08:47,499 --> 01:08:49,500
for no good reason at all.

Al Roberts, an unemployed piano player, hitches a ride, arriving at a roadside diner in Reno, Nevada. Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.
Al recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.
In Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.
Al realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.
Al crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.
In Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.
Back at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.
Al gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of "his wife." Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest.

I'm one of those guys that gotta talk
or I fall asleep.
11
00:03:16,113 --> 00:03:17,738
- Oh.
- So I gotta get my...
12
00:03:17,823 --> 00:03:20,157
My partner,
he's got Lou to keep him company.
13
00:03:20,242 --> 00:03:21,909
But I ain't got nobody at all.
14
00:03:21,994 --> 00:03:24,620
- Where ya comin' from?
- West.
15
00:03:24,705 --> 00:03:27,331
Yeah, sure, I know,
but where? LA?
16
00:03:27,416 --> 00:03:29,792
- Maybe.
- Got a cousin out in LA.
17
00:03:29,877 --> 00:03:31,586
- You don't say?
- Yeah, he's been out...
18
00:03:33,046 --> 00:03:34,505
You're not much of a talker, are ya?
19
00:03:34,590 --> 00:03:36,507
My mother taught me
never to speak to strangers.
20
00:03:36,592 --> 00:03:38,426
- Oh, a wise guy, huh?
- So what?
21
00:03:38,510 --> 00:03:42,430
Okay, okay. Don't get sore.
Just trying to be sociable, that's all.
22
00:03:43,891 --> 00:03:45,308
- Hey, Glamorous.
- [coin clatters]
23
00:03:45,392 --> 00:03:47,018
Give me change for a dime, will ya?
24
00:03:51,899 --> 00:03:54,233
- [register rings]
- [coin clatters]
25
00:03:56,778 --> 00:03:58,821
Let's have something quieter this time, Joe.
26
00:03:58,906 --> 00:04:00,907
- My head's splitting.
- Is that what's wrong with it?
27
00:04:00,991 --> 00:04:02,450
[chuckles softly]
28
00:04:04,161 --> 00:04:07,747
- Done with your coffee?
- No. And don't rush me, will ya?
29
00:04:07,831 --> 00:04:11,250
[jukebox: new song plays, up-tempo]
30
00:04:15,172 --> 00:04:17,173
Hey, turn that off.
Will ya turn that thing off?
31
00:04:17,257 --> 00:04:19,050
- What's eating you now?
- Yeah, what's eating you?
32
00:04:19,134 --> 00:04:21,052
- That music. It stinks!
- Oh, you don't like it, huh?
33
00:04:21,136 --> 00:04:23,220
- No, turn it off!
- Now wait a minute, pal.
34
00:04:23,305 --> 00:04:24,972
That was my nickel, see?
35
00:04:25,057 --> 00:04:28,059
This is a free country,
and I play whatever I want to.
36
00:04:29,603 --> 00:04:30,645
Okay.
37
00:04:30,729 --> 00:04:33,022
Sure. And if you don't like,
you don't have to listen to it.
38
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:35,066
And you can leave here anytime you wanna.
39
00:04:35,150 --> 00:04:36,692
Okay, okay. I'm sorry I asked.
40
00:04:36,777 --> 00:04:38,986
First good piece played tonight,
and you don't like it.
41
00:04:39,071 --> 00:04:41,489
Some people just ain't got any good taste.
42
00:04:44,076 --> 00:04:47,161
[music continues]
43
00:04:52,751 --> 00:04:55,962
[thinking] That tune. That tune!
44
00:04:56,046 --> 00:04:58,297
Why was there always that rotten tune?
45
00:04:58,382 --> 00:05:01,175
Following me around, beating in my head,
never letting up.
46
00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:07,181
Did you ever wanna forget anything?
47
00:05:07,599 --> 00:05:10,518
Did you ever wanna cut away
a piece of your memory or blot it out?
48
00:05:10,978 --> 00:05:14,397
You can't, you know?
No matter how hard you try.
49
00:05:14,481 --> 00:05:16,440
You can change the scenery,
50
00:05:16,525 --> 00:05:18,609
but sooner or later
you'll get a whiff of perfume,
51
00:05:18,694 --> 00:05:21,195
or somebody will say a certain phrase
or maybe hum something.
52
00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:23,531
Then you're licked again.
53
00:05:25,575 --> 00:05:27,994
"I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me."
54
00:05:28,078 --> 00:05:29,954
I used to love that song once.
55
00:05:30,038 --> 00:05:33,124
So did the customers back in the old
Break O' Dawn Club in New York.
56
00:05:33,625 --> 00:05:36,711
I can't remember a night when I didn't get
at least three requests for it.
57
00:05:37,504 --> 00:05:40,756
Sue, she was always selling it too.
58
00:05:41,258 --> 00:05:42,550
Those were the days.
59
00:05:42,634 --> 00:05:44,635
[song continues]
60
00:05:48,598 --> 00:05:51,559
[song continues, live combo playing]
61
00:06:07,701 --> 00:06:11,245
# Your eyes of blue
Your kisses too #
62
00:06:11,329 --> 00:06:14,123
# I never knew what they could do #
63
00:06:14,207 --> 00:06:19,420
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
64
00:06:19,963 --> 00:06:23,132
# You're telling everyone you know #
65
00:06:23,216 --> 00:06:26,343
# That I'm on your mind each place you go #
66
00:06:26,428 --> 00:06:31,223
# They can't believe
That you're in love with me #
67
00:06:32,392 --> 00:06:38,189
# I have always placed you far above me #
68
00:06:38,273 --> 00:06:43,778
# I just can't imagine that you love me #
69
00:06:43,862 --> 00:06:47,073
# And after all is said and done #
70
00:06:47,157 --> 00:06:50,284
# To think that I'm the lucky one #
71
00:06:50,368 --> 00:06:55,748
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
72
00:07:02,631 --> 00:07:04,715
[Al narrating] It wasn't much of a club, really.
73
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,300
You know the kind.
74
00:07:06,384 --> 00:07:08,385
A joint where you could have a sandwich
and a few drinks,
75
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:11,055
and run interference for your girl
on the dance floor.
76
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:15,101
- [playing romantic melody]
- I fronted the piano in there every night
77
00:07:15,185 --> 00:07:17,311
from 8:00 until the place closed up,
78
00:07:17,395 --> 00:07:19,563
which usually meant 4:00 in the morning.
79
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:22,066
A good job as jobs went in those days.
80
00:07:25,487 --> 00:07:28,739
Then, too, there was Sue,
81
00:07:28,824 --> 00:07:31,784
who made working there
a little like working in heaven.
82
00:07:32,244 --> 00:07:36,372
But how we felt about each other, well,
there was nothing very unusual in that.
83
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:39,834
I was an ordinary healthy guy,
and she was an ordinary healthy girl,
84
00:07:39,918 --> 00:07:43,170
and when you add those two together,
you get an ordinary healthy romance,
85
00:07:43,255 --> 00:07:44,672
which is the old story.
86
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:49,426
Sure. But somehow
the most wonderful thing in the world.
87
00:07:49,511 --> 00:07:51,846
[continues playing, rapidly]
88
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:59,436
All in all, I was a pretty lucky guy.
89
00:08:12,450 --> 00:08:15,494
Mr. Patterewsky, I presume?
It's beautiful.
90
00:08:15,579 --> 00:08:17,663
You're going to make Carnegie Hall yet, Al.
91
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:20,332
Yeah. As a janitor.
92
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:22,251
I'll make my debut in the basement.
93
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:26,005
I don't blame you for being bitter,
darling, but you mustn't give up hope.
94
00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:27,798
- Why, some day...
- Yeah, some day,
95
00:08:27,883 --> 00:08:29,633
if I don't get arthritis first.
96
00:08:29,718 --> 00:08:31,385
In the meantime, let's blow this trap.
97
00:08:31,469 --> 00:08:32,845
[piano lid thuds]
98
00:08:48,737 --> 00:08:49,737
[door closes]
99
00:08:51,323 --> 00:08:53,782
- Like to get something to eat, hon?
- Oh, I don't think so, Al.
100
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:56,911
I lose my appetite working in this fleabag.
101
00:08:56,995 --> 00:08:58,954
- Let's go home.
- Okay.
102
00:08:59,831 --> 00:09:02,416
I can't stand much more of that dump.
103
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:05,211
Did you see that drunk tonight
trying to paw me?
104
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:08,547
- No, what drunk?
- Does it matter what drunk?
105
00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:11,800
Say, what's the matter with you tonight, darling?
106
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:14,511
That's the third time you started
to tell me something and then stopped.
107
00:09:15,305 --> 00:09:17,806
We shouldn't have any secrets
from each other, Sue.
108
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:20,267
Next week, we're gonna make with a ring
and a license. We'll be a team.
109
00:09:20,352 --> 00:09:23,395
Yes, that's right. In the bush league.
110
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,190
- I don't get ya.
- We've been struck out.
111
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:29,276
That's a funny way to talk, darling.
112
00:09:29,361 --> 00:09:31,737
- Don't you wanna marry me?
- Al, look, I love you.
113
00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:34,198
You know I do.
And I want to marry you.
114
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:36,742
- But...?
- But not now.
115
00:09:36,826 --> 00:09:39,286
Only after we've made good.
116
00:09:39,371 --> 00:09:40,996
Sunday I'm going away.
117
00:09:41,706 --> 00:09:43,666
Oh, I know you'll think it's silly.
118
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:46,001
That's why I hesitated to tell you.
119
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:47,795
But I'm going to California.
120
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:50,297
I wanna try my luck in Hollywood.
121
00:09:50,548 --> 00:09:52,758
[Al] That's the most
stupid thing I ever heard of.
122
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:56,387
Don't you know millions of people go out there
every year and wind up polishing cuspidors?
123
00:09:56,471 --> 00:09:57,638
I thought you had better sense.
124
00:09:57,722 --> 00:09:59,598
You sound as if you think
I don't have any talent.
125
00:09:59,683 --> 00:10:02,101
- That has nothing to do with it.
- I'll make out all right.
126
00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:03,936
Maybe. But what about me?
127
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:06,563
Doesn't it mean anything to you
that you're busting up all our plans?
128
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:09,817
- We may not see each other for years?
- It won't be that long.
129
00:10:09,901 --> 00:10:12,111
- I thought you loved me.
- I do.
130
00:10:12,195 --> 00:10:13,737
You know I do.
131
00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:18,325
Well, here we are.
132
00:10:20,787 --> 00:10:21,787
Al...
133
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:25,541
Al, why can't you see my side of it?
134
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:28,294
I'm young. We both are. And...
135
00:10:28,378 --> 00:10:31,005
And we've got all the time in the world
to settle down.
136
00:10:31,715 --> 00:10:33,966
[sighs] Really, darling.
137
00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:37,303
What I'm doing is the only sane thing to do.
138
00:10:37,387 --> 00:10:40,889
[sighs] I... I hate the thought
of being so far away from you.
139
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:44,226
But... But we'll be together again some day.
140
00:10:44,311 --> 00:10:47,563
[sighs] Maybe you'll decide
to come out too, later on.
141
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:49,898
- So long.
- Al.
142
00:10:50,734 --> 00:10:53,068
Aren't you gonna kiss me good night?
143
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,237
Sure, why not?
144
00:10:57,741 --> 00:10:58,991
Good night.
145
00:11:05,248 --> 00:11:07,708
[playing romantic melody]
146
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:34,276
[playing jauntily, jazzy]
147
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:47,164
[changing rhythm, slower]
148
00:12:09,604 --> 00:12:12,231
[changing rhythm, jittery]
149
00:12:18,822 --> 00:12:21,824
[no audible dialogue]
150
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:40,717
[piano playing stops]
151
00:12:40,802 --> 00:12:42,469
- [applause]
- Say, Roberts.
152
00:12:42,554 --> 00:12:45,848
You hit the jackpot this time. Ten bucks.
153
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:47,391
Thanks.
154
00:12:53,481 --> 00:12:56,024
[Al narrating] So when this drunk handed me
a ten-spot after a request,
155
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:57,526
I couldn't get very excited.
156
00:12:57,777 --> 00:13:01,363
What was it, I asked myself?
A piece of paper crawling with germs.
157
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:03,866
Couldn't buy anything I wanted.
158
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:05,242
It couldn't...
159
00:13:08,246 --> 00:13:09,705
Then I thought of something.
160
00:13:33,104 --> 00:13:34,313
Long distance.
161
00:13:34,397 --> 00:13:36,857
I'd like to put a call through to Los Angeles.
162
00:13:36,941 --> 00:13:39,193
Miss Harvey. Sue Harvey.
163
00:13:39,277 --> 00:13:41,069
H-A-R-V-E-Y.
164
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:44,615
The number is CRestview 65723.
165
00:14:04,594 --> 00:14:06,386
- 4.50.
- [coin clatters]
166
00:14:06,471 --> 00:14:08,347
- 4.75.
- [coin clatters]
167
00:14:08,431 --> 00:14:09,431
5.00.
168
00:14:12,477 --> 00:14:15,020
Hello, Sue? This is Al.
169
00:14:15,104 --> 00:14:17,356
Oh, baby, it's great to hear from you too.
170
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,651
What's that? You do?
Oh, me too, darling.
171
00:14:20,735 --> 00:14:23,362
I thought I'd go batty without you.
I just had to...
172
00:14:23,446 --> 00:14:24,446
Huh?
173
00:14:25,406 --> 00:14:27,449
You're workin' as a hash slinger?
174
00:14:27,534 --> 00:14:28,867
Gee, honey, that's tough.
175
00:14:28,952 --> 00:14:32,371
Those guys out in Hollywood don't know
the real thing when it's right in front of them.
176
00:14:32,455 --> 00:14:34,164
You just stick it out, Sue, baby.
177
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:37,417
Keep goin' around to those casting offices.
I'm sure you'll click.
178
00:14:38,002 --> 00:14:40,629
Look, I'll tell you what.
You stay put out there. I'll come to you.
179
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:43,632
No, don't try to stop me. Just expect me.
180
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:46,760
Train? Who knows?
Train, plane, bus, magic carpet.
181
00:14:46,844 --> 00:14:50,430
I'll be there if I have to crawl.
If I have to travel by pogo stick.
182
00:14:50,515 --> 00:14:53,809
And then... let's get married right away.
183
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:59,439
That's the stuff. That's what
I've been wanting to hear you say.
184
00:15:00,525 --> 00:15:03,110
Well, good-bye for now.
185
00:15:04,362 --> 00:15:06,905
I'll be seeing you soon. [kisses]
186
00:15:07,282 --> 00:15:10,492
Yeah. [kisses] Bye.
187
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:18,500
[Al narrating] The only way I could
cross country was to thumb rides,
188
00:15:18,585 --> 00:15:21,587
for even after hocking everything,
I only had enough money to eat.
189
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:24,923
Money. You know what that is.
190
00:15:25,717 --> 00:15:27,551
It's the stuff you never have enough of.
191
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:29,720
Little green things
with George Washington's picture
192
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:33,432
that men slave for,
commit crimes for, die for.
193
00:15:34,183 --> 00:15:36,226
It's the stuff that has caused
more trouble in the world
194
00:15:36,311 --> 00:15:38,186
than anything else we ever invented,
195
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:41,273
simply because there's too little of it.
196
00:15:41,357 --> 00:15:43,442
At least I had too little of it.
197
00:15:43,526 --> 00:15:45,319
So it was me for the thumb.
198
00:16:01,753 --> 00:16:03,170
Ever done any hitchhiking?
199
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:05,881
It's not much fun, believe me.
200
00:16:06,549 --> 00:16:08,842
Oh, yeah,
I know all about how it's an education,
201
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:11,595
and how you get to meet a lot of people,
and all that.
202
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:15,849
But me, from now on
I'll take my education in college,
203
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:20,187
or in P.S. 62, or I'll send $1.98
in stamps for ten easy lessons.
204
00:16:29,447 --> 00:16:33,367
Thumbing rides may save you bus fare,
but it's dangerous.
205
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:37,954
You never know what's in store for you
when you hear the squeal of brakes.
206
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,001
If only I had known what I was getting into
that day in Arizona.
207
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:46,546
Here, throw that in the back seat.
208
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:51,301
Okay, let's go.
Make sure that door's closed.
209
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:53,553
- [door closes]
- [lock clacks]
210
00:17:05,483 --> 00:17:09,319
You know, Emily Post ought to write
a book of rules for guys thumbing rides.
211
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:13,031
Because as it is now you never know
what's right and what's wrong.
212
00:17:13,783 --> 00:17:17,285
We rode along for a little while,
neither one of us saying anything.
213
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:19,538
I was glad of that.
214
00:17:19,622 --> 00:17:22,457
I never know what to say
to strange people driving cars.
215
00:17:23,418 --> 00:17:26,545
And too, you can never tell
if a guy wants to talk.
216
00:17:26,629 --> 00:17:29,631
A lot of rides have been cut short
because of a big mouth.
217
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:34,845
So I kept my mouth shut
until he started opening up.
218
00:17:35,596 --> 00:17:38,473
Hand me that little box
in the compartment, will ya, pal?
219
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:42,936
Hold the wheel, will ya?
220
00:17:44,397 --> 00:17:45,397
[pills rattling]
221
00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:53,029
[glove box closes]
222
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:56,450
- How far are ya going?
- LA.
223
00:17:56,534 --> 00:17:58,577
Well, you're really traveling aren't ya?
224
00:17:58,661 --> 00:18:00,704
Yeah, but I don't expect to make it
for a couple years
225
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:02,372
at the rate I've been promoting rides.
226
00:18:02,457 --> 00:18:03,582
Not much luck, huh?
227
00:18:03,666 --> 00:18:05,459
Sure. All bad.
228
00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:07,753
Not many people stop for a guy these days.
229
00:18:07,837 --> 00:18:09,296
Afraid of a stickup maybe.
230
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:10,505
Ah, you can't blame 'em.
231
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:13,675
- Where ya comin' from?
- New York.
232
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,137
Well, New York. You're in luck this time.
233
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:19,139
I'm goin' all the way.
234
00:18:19,223 --> 00:18:20,807
Right through to Los Angeles.
235
00:18:22,018 --> 00:18:24,102
- You drive a car?
- Sure.
236
00:18:24,187 --> 00:18:26,897
- Whenever you're tired, let me know.
- I'll holler.
237
00:18:28,691 --> 00:18:30,776
I guess at least an hour passed
before I noticed
238
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:32,778
those deep scratches in his right hand.
239
00:18:33,237 --> 00:18:34,696
They were wicked.
240
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:37,532
Three puffy red lines
about a quarter of an inch apart.
241
00:18:38,576 --> 00:18:40,869
He must have seen me looking at them
because he said...
242
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:43,288
Beauties, aren't they?
243
00:18:44,081 --> 00:18:45,957
They're gonna be scars someday.
244
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:49,002
What an animal.
245
00:18:49,086 --> 00:18:51,880
Whatever it was, it must have been
pretty big and vicious to have done that.
246
00:18:52,381 --> 00:18:54,424
Right on both counts, New York.
247
00:18:54,509 --> 00:18:57,636
I was tussling with the most
dangerous animal in the world...
248
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,804
a woman.
249
00:18:59,388 --> 00:19:01,014
She must have been Tarzan's mate.
250
00:19:01,098 --> 00:19:02,766
Looks like you lost the bout.
251
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:04,559
Certainly wasn't a draw.
252
00:19:05,394 --> 00:19:08,313
You know, there ought to be a law
against dames with claws.
253
00:19:08,397 --> 00:19:09,314
Yeah.
254
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:11,483
I tossed her out of the car on her ear.
255
00:19:12,318 --> 00:19:16,655
Was I wrong? Give a lift to a tomato,
you expect her to be nice, don't ya?
256
00:19:16,739 --> 00:19:17,656
Yeah.
257
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:20,242
After all, what kind of dames thumb rides?
258
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:22,577
- Sunday school teachers?
- Yeah.
259
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:25,747
The little witch.
260
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:28,458
She must've thought she was riding
with some fall guy.
261
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:32,337
And me who's been booking horses
around racetracks since I was 20.
262
00:19:33,047 --> 00:19:34,923
[scoffs] I've known a million dames like her.
263
00:19:35,383 --> 00:19:37,217
- Two million.
- Yeah.
264
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:42,138
Stopped the car, opened the door...
265
00:19:42,223 --> 00:19:44,641
"Take it on the Arthur Duffy, sister,"
I told her.
266
00:19:44,725 --> 00:19:48,103
- That's the stuff.
- As I was down on her. [laughs]
267
00:19:48,479 --> 00:19:52,148
But if you wanna see a real scar, brother,
get a load of this.
268
00:19:53,442 --> 00:19:55,026
Wow.
269
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:57,904
- I got that one dueling.
- Dueling?
270
00:19:58,406 --> 00:19:59,865
Yeah. We were just kidding, of course.
271
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:02,450
My dad owned a couple of
Franco-Prussian sabers.
272
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:04,244
Kept 'em on the wall for decorations.
273
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:09,749
One day, another kid and I took 'em down
when the old man wasn't around. Had a duel.
274
00:20:09,834 --> 00:20:11,376
[chuckles]
275
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:13,587
He hit me in the arm, here.
276
00:20:13,671 --> 00:20:15,338
Pretty mean cut.
277
00:20:15,423 --> 00:20:16,965
Infection set in later.
278
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:18,842
Yeah, I can see that.
279
00:20:19,093 --> 00:20:21,428
- Oh, gimme that box again, will ya?
- Yeah.
280
00:20:24,765 --> 00:20:26,099
[pills rattling]
281
00:20:31,355 --> 00:20:32,397
[glove box closes]
282
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:35,525
Pain made me lose my head, I guess.
283
00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:37,694
I began slashing.
284
00:20:37,778 --> 00:20:40,488
Before I knew it,
I put the other kid's eye out.
285
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:43,950
- That was tough.
- Well, it was just an accident, of course.
286
00:20:44,035 --> 00:20:48,413
But you know how kids are. I got scared...
decided I was gonna run away from home.
287
00:20:48,915 --> 00:20:51,958
Old man almost clocked me
when I was packin' my duds.
288
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:56,296
If the bloody rag I had wrapped around my wrist
hadn't caught his attention,
289
00:20:56,380 --> 00:20:58,048
he'd have seen the bundle for sure.
290
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:01,551
But I beat it when he was phoning for a doctor.
291
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:06,598
That was 15, 16 years ago.
I haven't been home since.
292
00:21:10,561 --> 00:21:12,729
Pull in there for a bite of something, huh?
293
00:21:12,813 --> 00:21:14,481
[Al narrating] A bite of something.
294
00:21:14,565 --> 00:21:16,066
Brother, was I hungry.
295
00:21:16,150 --> 00:21:18,401
I hadn't had anything in my stomach for hours.
296
00:21:19,362 --> 00:21:21,404
Yet even with that gnawing
in the pit of my belly,
297
00:21:21,489 --> 00:21:24,324
I didn't want to be in too big a rush
to put on the feed bag.
298
00:21:25,076 --> 00:21:27,827
First, I had to make sure
this guy knew the score.
299
00:21:27,912 --> 00:21:31,247
If I got him down on me,
it was good-bye ticket to Hollywood.
300
00:21:32,083 --> 00:21:33,708
I'll wait out here for you, mister.
301
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:36,753
If it's the money, don't worry about
paying for it. This time it's on me.
302
00:21:36,837 --> 00:21:39,255
- Well, that's white of you, Mr...
- Haskell. Think nothing of it.
303
00:21:39,340 --> 00:21:42,717
You make your first million, maybe you can
do the same for me. Come on, New York.
304
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:44,594
I gotta make the West Coast by Wednesday.
305
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:47,263
There's a horse running at
Santa Anita named Paradisiacal.
306
00:21:47,348 --> 00:21:49,933
- Means dough to me if I'm running.
- We'll make it all right.
307
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:54,688
[Al narrating] He did most of the talking
during the half hour we were in the place.
308
00:21:54,772 --> 00:21:55,772
I ate.
309
00:21:56,857 --> 00:22:01,027
He rambled on about his old man, who he hadn't
heard from since he ran away as a kid,
310
00:22:01,112 --> 00:22:02,946
and how he happened to become a bookie,
311
00:22:03,030 --> 00:22:05,740
and then all about how he got rooked in Miami.
312
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:08,660
One race, 38 grand.
They cleaned out my book.
313
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:11,079
- How do you like that?
- That was tough luck.
314
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:13,164
Yeah, and I'm supposed to be the smart guy.
315
00:22:13,249 --> 00:22:16,543
You just wait. I'm going back to Florida
next season with all kinds of jack.
316
00:22:16,627 --> 00:22:18,586
And you watch those stinkers run for cover.
317
00:22:19,547 --> 00:22:21,965
- Want anything else?
- No, thanks, I've had plenty.
318
00:22:27,638 --> 00:22:29,556
- The check there, sister?
- Mm-hmm.
319
00:22:32,601 --> 00:22:34,519
Oh, just a minute. Your change, sir.
320
00:22:34,603 --> 00:22:37,272
- Keep it, sister.
- Oh, thank you, sir. Call again.
321
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,190
I'll be waitin' outside for you
when you finish work.
322
00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:40,400
[chuckles]
323
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:41,776
Sharp chick, huh?
324
00:22:49,952 --> 00:22:52,912
[Al narrating] I drove all that night
while Haskell slept like a log.
325
00:22:53,581 --> 00:22:56,416
After a while, I began to get sleepy myself.
326
00:22:57,835 --> 00:23:01,671
I was happy though.
Soon I'd be with Sue again.
327
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:03,214
The long trip was practically over,
328
00:23:03,299 --> 00:23:06,009
and there'd be no more hoofing it
down the concrete.
329
00:23:06,761 --> 00:23:08,928
I began to think of the future,
330
00:23:09,013 --> 00:23:12,098
which couldn't have been brighter
if I'd embroidered it with neon lights.
331
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,226
It was nice to think of Sue shooting to the top.
332
00:23:16,437 --> 00:23:20,356
[chuckles] It's amazing what a full belly
can do to your imagination.
333
00:23:20,566 --> 00:23:23,276
[romantic ballad]
334
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:28,156
# Your eyes are blue
Your kisses too #
335
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,577
# I never knew what they could do #
336
00:23:32,661 --> 00:23:39,667
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
337
00:23:41,045 --> 00:23:45,632
# You're telling everyone you know #
338
00:23:45,716 --> 00:23:50,095
# I'm on your mind each place you go #
339
00:23:50,179 --> 00:23:56,017
# I can't believe that you're in love #
340
00:23:56,352 --> 00:24:02,690
# With me #
341
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:12,951
Mr. Haskell.
342
00:24:14,703 --> 00:24:15,703
Mr. Haskell?
343
00:24:18,833 --> 00:24:20,875
Mr. Haskell, wake up! It's raining.
344
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,002
Don't you think we ought to stop
and put up the top?
345
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:33,263
Mr. Haskell, I'm gonna put up the top.
346
00:24:48,154 --> 00:24:50,029
[Al narrating] Until then,
I'd done things my way.
347
00:24:50,531 --> 00:24:52,699
But from then on, something else
stepped in and shunted me off
348
00:24:52,783 --> 00:24:55,535
to a different destination
than the one I had picked for myself.
349
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:58,329
For when I pulled open that door...
350
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:05,170
Mr. Haskell, what's the matter?
Are you hurt?
351
00:25:06,255 --> 00:25:07,547
Are you hurt, Mr. Haskell?
352
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:11,467
[Al narrating]
Start your sermon. I'll listen to it.
353
00:25:12,219 --> 00:25:15,013
But I know what you're gonna hand me
even before you open your mouths.
354
00:25:15,598 --> 00:25:18,016
You're gonna tell me you don't believe
my story of how Haskell died
355
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:21,352
and give me that "don't make me laugh"
expression on your smug faces.
356
00:25:24,815 --> 00:25:26,357
I saw at once he was dead.
357
00:25:26,692 --> 00:25:28,193
And I was in for it.
358
00:25:28,277 --> 00:25:30,111
Who would believe he fell out of the car?
359
00:25:30,196 --> 00:25:31,738
If Haskell came to, which,
of course, he couldn't,
360
00:25:31,822 --> 00:25:34,240
even he would swear
I conked him over the head for his dough.
361
00:25:34,325 --> 00:25:35,491
Yes, I was in for it.
362
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:39,829
Instinct told me to run,
but then I realized it was hopeless.
363
00:25:39,914 --> 00:25:41,998
There were lots of people back down the road
who could identify me.
364
00:25:42,082 --> 00:25:44,000
That gas station guy and the waitress.
365
00:25:44,084 --> 00:25:46,419
I would be in a worse spot then
trying to explain why I beat it.
366
00:25:47,504 --> 00:25:50,381
The next possibility was to sit tight
and tell the truth when the cops came.
367
00:25:50,466 --> 00:25:53,176
But that would be crazy.
They'd laugh at the truth.
368
00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:54,552
And I'd have my head in a noose.
369
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:59,807
So what else was there to do
but hide the body and get away in the car?
370
00:25:59,892 --> 00:26:02,101
I couldn't leave the car there
with him in the gully.
371
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:03,937
That would be like erecting a tombstone.
372
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:35,385
My idea was to cover him with brush,
not to rob him.
373
00:26:35,636 --> 00:26:38,304
But then I remembered that even if
I only drove the car for 100 miles or so,
374
00:26:38,389 --> 00:26:39,722
I would need money for gas.
375
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:44,060
Besides, it was stupid of me
to leave all that money on a dead man.
376
00:26:45,145 --> 00:26:47,188
Not only that,
I'd have to take his driver's license
377
00:26:47,273 --> 00:26:48,690
in case I was stopped for something.
378
00:26:50,901 --> 00:26:52,235
I didn't like to think about it,
379
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,821
but by that time I'd done
just what the police would say I did.
380
00:26:54,905 --> 00:26:57,740
Even if I didn't... My clothes.
381
00:26:58,367 --> 00:27:00,618
The owner of such an expensive car
would never be wearing them.
382
00:27:01,662 --> 00:27:03,246
Some cop might pull me in on suspicion.
383
00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,802
[motorcycle approaches]
384
00:27:28,939 --> 00:27:30,231
Hey, you. This your car?
385
00:27:30,941 --> 00:27:33,943
Don't you know better than to leave a car
with the wheels halfway in the middle of the road?
386
00:27:34,028 --> 00:27:35,403
That's the way accidents happen.
387
00:27:35,612 --> 00:27:38,614
I... I'm sorry, Officer.
I was just putting up my top.
388
00:27:38,699 --> 00:27:41,367
- I didn't think.
- Well, the next time, think.
389
00:27:41,452 --> 00:27:43,911
I'll let you go now,
but watch your step in the future.
390
00:27:43,996 --> 00:27:46,414
I know that it's a lonely stretch,
but cars come by here once in a while.
391
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:49,334
- We have plenty of crack-ups.
- Thanks, Officer.
392
00:28:13,067 --> 00:28:15,777
[Al narrating] I left nothing in the car
that'd give me away as Roberts.
393
00:28:15,861 --> 00:28:18,529
If they found a dead man in the gully now,
it could be me.
394
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:28,122
As I drove off, it was still raining.
395
00:28:29,083 --> 00:28:31,876
The drops streaked
down the windshield like tears.
396
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:36,381
I kept imagining I was being followed,
397
00:28:36,465 --> 00:28:38,341
that I could hear sirens
back in the distance.
398
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,471
Just how long it took to cover the 60-odd
miles to the California state line,
399
00:28:43,555 --> 00:28:44,555
I don't know.
400
00:28:45,057 --> 00:28:46,641
I lost all track of time.
401
00:28:47,351 --> 00:28:51,270
But the rain had stopped and the sun was up
when I pulled up to the inspection station.
402
00:28:55,859 --> 00:28:56,692
Hello.
403
00:28:57,653 --> 00:28:59,946
- Carrying any fruits or vegetables?
- No.
404
00:29:00,030 --> 00:29:02,198
- Any livestock or poultry?
- No.
405
00:29:02,282 --> 00:29:03,741
[footsteps approaching]
406
00:29:03,826 --> 00:29:06,202
I'd like to see your registration
and driver's license, please.
407
00:29:10,749 --> 00:29:13,251
- Anything in the baggage compartment?
- Just baggage.
408
00:29:15,212 --> 00:29:18,548
Charles Haskell Jr.
Age 30, brown eyes, dark hair.
409
00:29:18,841 --> 00:29:20,216
Identifying marks, none.
410
00:29:20,884 --> 00:29:23,094
- Are you Charles Haskell Jr.?
- Yes.
411
00:29:23,178 --> 00:29:25,263
Well, remember, if you're employed,
and you stay over 30 days,
412
00:29:25,347 --> 00:29:27,223
you take out California plates.
413
00:29:27,307 --> 00:29:29,517
All right, Officer, but I'll only be
in the state a short while.
414
00:29:31,186 --> 00:29:32,270
Right. You can go now.
415
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:42,113
[Al narrating] I couldn't drive any farther
without some sleep.
416
00:29:42,197 --> 00:29:45,783
Cops or no cops, I knew
I had to hit the hay and hit it hard.
417
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,203
I was dead tired.
418
00:30:20,027 --> 00:30:20,943
No.
419
00:30:21,820 --> 00:30:23,362
No, you can't, Mr. Haskell.
420
00:30:24,323 --> 00:30:25,156
No.
421
00:30:32,706 --> 00:30:35,374
Mr. Haskell, you can't die.
422
00:30:36,502 --> 00:30:39,128
They'll think... They'll think I did it.
423
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:42,173
No, Mr. Haskell.
424
00:30:42,591 --> 00:30:44,717
No, no...
425
00:30:48,722 --> 00:30:49,805
[knocks]
426
00:30:54,019 --> 00:30:55,603
[knocking continues]
427
00:30:59,358 --> 00:31:00,233
Who's there?
428
00:31:00,317 --> 00:31:02,610
It's the maid. Can I come in and clean?
429
00:31:03,820 --> 00:31:06,322
Later... in a half-hour.
430
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:07,490
All right, sir.
431
00:31:32,057 --> 00:31:33,599
[Al narrating] There was no time to lose.
432
00:31:33,684 --> 00:31:36,227
Every minute I had to be Charles Haskell
was dangerous.
433
00:31:36,311 --> 00:31:38,521
I'd have to be Charles Haskell
until I got to some city
434
00:31:38,605 --> 00:31:40,648
where I could leave the car
and be swallowed up.
435
00:31:46,238 --> 00:31:48,864
That meant driving the car
as far as San Bernardino,
436
00:31:48,949 --> 00:31:50,491
maybe even to Los Angeles.
437
00:31:50,576 --> 00:31:52,451
In a little town, I might be noticed.
438
00:31:52,536 --> 00:31:54,328
But in a city, I should be safe enough.
439
00:31:55,581 --> 00:31:58,666
Then, after I ditched the car,
I could go on to Sue.
440
00:31:59,585 --> 00:32:02,545
But those five minutes at the state line
made me realize
441
00:32:02,629 --> 00:32:05,631
it might be a good idea to find out
a little bit about Mr. Haskell.
442
00:32:06,633 --> 00:32:09,302
Then if anybody asked me questions,
I could give the right answers.
443
00:32:10,345 --> 00:32:13,806
The first thing I found out
was that I had $768.
444
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:17,768
This was a lot of jack, but believe me,
445
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:19,895
it was the kind of money
I'd rather not have.
446
00:32:27,446 --> 00:32:31,115
And then I found out from a letter
Haskell was carting around in his bag
447
00:32:31,199 --> 00:32:33,784
that he wasn't the openhanded,
easygoing big shot
448
00:32:33,869 --> 00:32:36,412
who went around buying dinners
for strange hitchhikers.
449
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:39,832
Before I got done reading it,
I saw him more as a chiseler.
450
00:32:41,209 --> 00:32:43,836
It was written
to his old man in California,
451
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,796
the one he hadn't seen in so many years.
452
00:32:46,590 --> 00:32:51,385
In it, Haskell posed as a salesman...
of hymnals, of all things.
453
00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:54,388
It was easy to see where Haskell expected
454
00:32:54,473 --> 00:32:56,849
to raise a new stake
for his book in Miami...
455
00:32:57,684 --> 00:32:59,143
by rooking his old man.
456
00:33:00,771 --> 00:33:03,689
That was about all I found out
from his effects.
457
00:33:03,774 --> 00:33:04,857
And it was enough.
458
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:09,737
I told myself maybe old man Haskell
was lucky his son kicked off.
459
00:33:10,864 --> 00:33:12,531
He would never know it,
460
00:33:12,616 --> 00:33:16,077
but it saved him from taking a flier
in sacred literature preferred.
461
00:33:22,793 --> 00:33:24,377
[birds chirping]
462
00:33:41,186 --> 00:33:43,979
Near the airport at Desert Center,
I pulled up for water.
463
00:33:45,607 --> 00:33:46,691
There was a woman.
464
00:33:51,321 --> 00:33:53,614
Hey, you. Come on if you want a ride.
465
00:34:07,587 --> 00:34:08,587
[car hood slams]
466
00:34:39,995 --> 00:34:41,662
How far you goin'?
467
00:34:41,747 --> 00:34:43,122
How far are you going?
468
00:34:43,749 --> 00:34:46,792
[Al narrating] That took me by surprise.
I turned my head to look her over.
469
00:34:47,836 --> 00:34:50,588
She was facing straight ahead,
so I couldn't see her eyes.
470
00:34:51,006 --> 00:34:53,758
But she was young, not more than 24.
471
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:56,844
Man, she looked as if
she'd just been thrown off
472
00:34:56,928 --> 00:34:59,305
the crummiest freight train in the world.
473
00:35:00,140 --> 00:35:02,641
Yet, in spite of this,
I got the impression of beauty.
474
00:35:03,727 --> 00:35:06,020
Not the beauty of a movie actress,
mind you,
475
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,689
or the beauty you dream about
when you're with your wife,
476
00:35:08,774 --> 00:35:10,065
but a natural beauty,
477
00:35:10,567 --> 00:35:13,194
a beauty that's almost homely
because it's so real.
478
00:35:15,363 --> 00:35:17,114
Then, suddenly, she turned to face me.
479
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:20,409
- How far did you say you were going?
- Los Angeles.
480
00:35:20,494 --> 00:35:21,410
LA?
481
00:35:22,287 --> 00:35:25,790
- LA's good enough for me, mister.
- That's what I was afraid of.
482
00:35:25,874 --> 00:35:29,084
- What'd you say?
- Oh, nothing. Just thinking out loud.
483
00:35:29,169 --> 00:35:31,128
People get in trouble for doing that.
484
00:35:32,005 --> 00:35:34,715
- What's your name?
- You can call me Vera, if you like.
485
00:35:35,509 --> 00:35:37,176
- You live in Los Angeles?
- No.
486
00:35:39,054 --> 00:35:41,555
- Where you coming from?
- Oh, back there.
487
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,098
- Needles?
- No.
488
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:47,102
Oh, sure. Phoenix.
You look just like a Phoenix girl.
489
00:35:47,687 --> 00:35:49,855
- Are the girls in Phoenix that bad?
- [chuckles]
490
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:51,774
[Al narrating]
The girl must have been pretty tired
491
00:35:51,858 --> 00:35:54,944
because she fell asleep not 20 minutes
after she stepped into the car.
492
00:35:55,737 --> 00:35:59,782
She lay sprawled out with her head resting
against the far door, like Haskell.
493
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:03,452
I didn't like that part of it much,
but I didn't wake her up.
494
00:36:04,955 --> 00:36:06,872
It wasn't that this girl still worried me.
495
00:36:07,374 --> 00:36:10,376
I'd gotten over that funny feeling
I had when she looked at me,
496
00:36:10,460 --> 00:36:13,003
which I put down
as just my jangled nerves.
497
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:16,590
With her eyes closed
and the tenseness gone out of her,
498
00:36:16,675 --> 00:36:18,133
she seemed harmless enough.
499
00:36:18,885 --> 00:36:21,929
Instead of disliking her,
I began to feel sorry for her.
500
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:25,182
The poor kid probably
had had a rough time of it.
501
00:36:26,476 --> 00:36:27,977
Who was she, anyway?
502
00:36:28,061 --> 00:36:30,479
And why was she going to Los Angeles?
503
00:36:30,564 --> 00:36:32,898
And where'd she come from
in the first place?
504
00:36:32,983 --> 00:36:34,775
The only thing I knew about her
was her name.
505
00:36:35,777 --> 00:36:37,361
Not that it made any difference.
506
00:36:37,445 --> 00:36:39,738
A few hours more and we'd be in Hollywood.
507
00:36:39,823 --> 00:36:42,241
I'd forget where I parked the car
and look up Sue.
508
00:36:43,118 --> 00:36:45,286
This nightmare of being a dead man
would be over.
509
00:36:46,121 --> 00:36:48,831
Who this dame was, well,
it was no business of mine.
510
00:36:48,915 --> 00:36:52,918
Where did you leave his body?
Where did you leave the owner of this car?
511
00:36:53,003 --> 00:36:54,712
You're not fooling anyone.
512
00:36:55,297 --> 00:36:58,173
This buggy belongs to a guy named Haskell.
That's not you, mister.
513
00:36:58,258 --> 00:37:01,343
You're out of your mind. That's my name.
Charles Haskell. I can prove it.
514
00:37:01,428 --> 00:37:03,512
- Here's my driver's license.
- Save yourself the trouble, mister.
515
00:37:03,597 --> 00:37:05,848
Having Haskell's wallet
only makes it worse.
516
00:37:05,932 --> 00:37:08,017
It just so happens
I rode with Charlie Haskell
517
00:37:08,101 --> 00:37:09,685
all the way from Louisiana.
518
00:37:09,769 --> 00:37:11,854
He picked me up outside of Shreveport.
519
00:37:11,938 --> 00:37:13,564
- You rode...
- You heard me.
520
00:37:14,149 --> 00:37:15,983
[Al narrating] Then it all came back to me.
521
00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:18,652
All the talk about dueling
and scars and scratches.
522
00:37:19,613 --> 00:37:21,363
There was no doubt about it.
523
00:37:21,448 --> 00:37:23,949
Vera must be the woman
Haskell had mentioned.
524
00:37:24,034 --> 00:37:25,784
She must have passed me while I slept.
525
00:37:25,869 --> 00:37:28,871
Well? Well, I'm waiting.
526
00:37:28,955 --> 00:37:30,331
My goose was cooked.
527
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:32,082
She had me.
528
00:37:32,876 --> 00:37:34,668
That Haskell guy wasn't dead yet.
529
00:37:35,253 --> 00:37:38,172
He wasn't stretched out stiff and cold
in any Arizona gully.
530
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:41,425
He was sitting right there in the car,
laughing like mad while he haunted me.
531
00:37:43,345 --> 00:37:44,303
Well?
532
00:37:44,387 --> 00:37:47,514
There was nothing I could say.
It was her move.
533
00:37:48,224 --> 00:37:50,142
Vera, whatever her name was.
534
00:37:50,226 --> 00:37:52,478
It was just my luck
picking her up on the road.
535
00:37:53,313 --> 00:37:56,148
It couldn't have been Helen
or Mary or Evelyn or Ruth.
536
00:37:57,025 --> 00:37:59,526
It had to be the very last person
I should ever have met.
537
00:38:00,820 --> 00:38:01,820
That's life.
538
00:38:02,697 --> 00:38:05,491
Whichever way you turn,
fate sticks out a foot to trip you.
539
00:38:11,081 --> 00:38:13,457
I told her everything,
but she didn't believe my story.
540
00:38:13,541 --> 00:38:15,167
I should've saved my breath.
541
00:38:15,251 --> 00:38:17,670
That's the greatest cock-and-bull story
I ever heard.
542
00:38:17,754 --> 00:38:19,380
So he fell out of his car.
543
00:38:19,464 --> 00:38:21,507
Say, who do you think
you're talking to, a hick?
544
00:38:21,591 --> 00:38:23,592
Listen, mister. I've been around.
545
00:38:23,677 --> 00:38:27,054
And I know a wrong guy when I see one.
What'd you do, kiss him with a wrench?
546
00:38:27,138 --> 00:38:29,264
Now wait a minute.
What I told you was true.
547
00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:30,891
You see, that's why I had to do it.
548
00:38:30,976 --> 00:38:33,352
You think I killed him.
Well, the cops would've thought so too.
549
00:38:33,436 --> 00:38:35,187
Yeah, well maybe they still think so.
550
00:38:36,106 --> 00:38:38,482
What makes you so sure
I'll shut up about this?
551
00:38:38,566 --> 00:38:41,318
Vera, I'm innocent.
Give me a break, will you?
552
00:38:42,696 --> 00:38:44,488
It won't do me any good
having you pinched.
553
00:38:44,572 --> 00:38:46,115
The cops are no friends of mine.
554
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:49,076
Now, if there was a reward...
But there isn't.
555
00:38:49,703 --> 00:38:51,912
- Thanks.
- Don't thank me yet.
556
00:38:51,997 --> 00:38:55,332
I'm not through with you by a long shot.
Let's see that roll.
557
00:39:02,090 --> 00:39:03,674
Is that all Haskell had?
558
00:39:03,758 --> 00:39:05,509
- Isn't it enough?
- No, I thought he had more.
559
00:39:05,593 --> 00:39:07,845
Not that I know of. You can search me
if you think I'm holding out on you.
560
00:39:07,929 --> 00:39:09,596
Well, maybe I will at that.
561
00:39:09,681 --> 00:39:11,807
He told me he was gonna bet $3,000
562
00:39:11,891 --> 00:39:14,560
on a horse named Paradisiacal
on Wednesday at Santa Anita.
563
00:39:14,644 --> 00:39:16,979
- He was stringing you along. He meant 300.
- Maybe.
564
00:39:17,063 --> 00:39:20,357
Sure. Three bucks, 300.
He was a piece of cheese, a big blowhard.
565
00:39:20,442 --> 00:39:23,277
Listen, mister. Don't try and tell me
anything about Charlie Haskell.
566
00:39:23,361 --> 00:39:25,279
Remember, I knew him better than you did.
567
00:39:25,363 --> 00:39:28,073
Okay, then you knew he was a four-flusher.
That explains the three-grand bet.
568
00:39:28,158 --> 00:39:30,576
I'm not so sure
he didn't have that three grand.
569
00:39:30,660 --> 00:39:34,121
Why should I believe you?
You got all the earmarks of a cheap crook.
570
00:39:34,205 --> 00:39:35,622
- Now, wait a minute.
- Shut up.
571
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:37,207
You're a cheap crook and you killed him.
572
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:39,418
For two cents,
I'd change my mind and turn you in.
573
00:39:39,502 --> 00:39:40,794
I don't like you!
574
00:39:40,879 --> 00:39:43,338
- All right, all right. Don't get sore.
- I'm not getting sore.
575
00:39:43,423 --> 00:39:45,507
But just remember who's boss around here.
576
00:39:45,592 --> 00:39:47,134
If you shut up
and don't give me any arguments,
577
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:48,677
you'll have nothing to worry about.
578
00:39:48,762 --> 00:39:50,512
But if you act wise, well, mister,
579
00:39:50,597 --> 00:39:53,182
you'll pop into jail so fast
it'll give you the bends.
580
00:39:53,266 --> 00:39:55,059
- I'm not arguing.
- Well, see that you don't.
581
00:39:55,143 --> 00:39:56,477
You know, as crooked as you look,
582
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:59,605
I'd hate to see a fella as young as you
wind up sniffing that perfume
583
00:39:59,689 --> 00:40:01,482
that Arizona hands out free to murderers.
584
00:40:01,566 --> 00:40:03,233
- I'm not a murderer.
- Of course you're not.
585
00:40:03,318 --> 00:40:04,693
Haskell knocked his own head off.
586
00:40:04,778 --> 00:40:06,278
He fell. That's how it happened,
just like I told you.
587
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:08,530
Sure, and then he made you a present
of his belongings.
588
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:10,324
- I explained why...
- Oh, skip it.
589
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:13,118
Doesn't make a difference one way
or another. I'm not a mourner.
590
00:40:13,203 --> 00:40:15,412
I liked Haskell even less than I like you.
591
00:40:15,955 --> 00:40:17,372
Yeah, I saw what you did to him.
592
00:40:17,457 --> 00:40:19,541
- What do you mean?
- Those scratches on his wrists.
593
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:20,959
Sure, I scratched him.
594
00:40:21,961 --> 00:40:23,128
I'll say you did.
595
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:26,673
So your idea was
to drive the car a little way,
596
00:40:26,758 --> 00:40:28,967
maybe into San Bernardino,
and then leave it.
597
00:40:29,052 --> 00:40:30,385
You weren't gonna sell it?
598
00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:33,597
Sell it? You think I'm crazy?
Somebody else's car?
599
00:40:33,681 --> 00:40:36,266
All I wanna do is leave it somewhere
and forget I ever saw it.
600
00:40:36,351 --> 00:40:39,269
Not only don't you have any scruples,
you don't have any brains.
601
00:40:39,354 --> 00:40:42,022
- I don't get you.
- Maybe it's a good thing you met me.
602
00:40:42,107 --> 00:40:44,983
You would of got yourself caught, sure.
Why, you dope.
603
00:40:45,068 --> 00:40:48,362
Don't you know a deserted automobile
always rates an investigation?
604
00:40:48,696 --> 00:40:49,863
Huh?
605
00:40:49,948 --> 00:40:52,783
Look. The cops find a car.
Then they get curious.
606
00:40:52,867 --> 00:40:54,493
They wonder where the owner is.
607
00:40:54,577 --> 00:40:57,996
So, all right, they don't trace Haskell.
They trace you.
608
00:40:58,206 --> 00:40:59,790
I never thought of that.
609
00:40:59,874 --> 00:41:02,626
The only safe way to get rid of the car
is to sell it to a dealer,
610
00:41:02,710 --> 00:41:04,253
get it registered under a new name.
611
00:41:04,754 --> 00:41:06,004
Say, stop at the next store.
612
00:41:06,089 --> 00:41:08,882
I wanna get a bottle and do some shopping
before we hit LA.
613
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:12,219
Okay. Soon as we find a place,
I'll drop you off and pick you up later.
614
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:14,429
Nothin' doin'. You're coming in too.
615
00:41:14,514 --> 00:41:17,349
From now on,
you and I are like the Siamese twins.
616
00:41:17,433 --> 00:41:19,434
Have it your way,
but I don't get the point.
617
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:21,687
The point is I don't want you to get lost.
618
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:23,397
I'm not gonna beat it,
if that's what you're afraid of.
619
00:41:23,481 --> 00:41:24,648
I'll say you're not.
620
00:41:24,732 --> 00:41:27,568
Well, I'm gonna see that you sell this car
so you don't get caught.
621
00:41:27,652 --> 00:41:31,446
Thanks. Of course, your interest
wouldn't be financial, would it?
622
00:41:31,531 --> 00:41:33,699
You wouldn't want
a small percentage of the profits?
623
00:41:34,284 --> 00:41:37,202
Well, now that you insist,
how can I refuse?
624
00:41:37,287 --> 00:41:38,912
A hundred percent'll do.
625
00:41:38,997 --> 00:41:40,873
Fine. I'm relieved.
626
00:41:40,957 --> 00:41:43,208
I thought for a moment
you were gonna take it all.
627
00:41:43,293 --> 00:41:44,710
I don't want to be a hog.
628
00:41:46,588 --> 00:41:48,672
[Al narrating] A few hours later,
we were in Hollywood.
629
00:41:49,090 --> 00:41:51,466
I was recognizing places
Sue had written about.
630
00:41:52,051 --> 00:41:55,012
It struck me that,
far from being at the end of the trip,
631
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:58,098
there was a greater distance between Sue
and me than when I started out.
632
00:41:59,434 --> 00:42:02,060
Vera wasn't kidding
with that Siamese twins crack.
633
00:42:02,687 --> 00:42:06,106
She rented a little apartment
as Mrs. Charles Haskell.
634
00:42:07,025 --> 00:42:10,110
When I objected to this, she explained
that it was on account of the car.
635
00:42:10,612 --> 00:42:12,154
A dealer might think something was funny
636
00:42:12,238 --> 00:42:14,531
if he called and found
we were using different names.
637
00:42:19,704 --> 00:42:21,538
- Home, sweet home.
- Yeah.
638
00:42:22,457 --> 00:42:23,498
Not bad, either.
639
00:42:31,466 --> 00:42:33,842
In case there's any doubt in your mind,
I'll take the bedroom.
640
00:42:34,302 --> 00:42:35,177
Yeah.
641
00:42:36,471 --> 00:42:37,846
Sure is stuffy in here.
642
00:42:45,980 --> 00:42:47,689
- Keep the window shut.
- Okay.
643
00:42:50,026 --> 00:42:53,487
The old crow downstairs said
there's a folding bed behind this door.
644
00:42:59,535 --> 00:43:00,702
You know how to work it?
645
00:43:04,457 --> 00:43:05,540
I invented it.
646
00:43:09,504 --> 00:43:11,630
- Some joint.
- One can't have everything.
647
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,387
I'm first in the bathtub.
648
00:43:19,180 --> 00:43:22,140
I don't know why,
but I figured you would be.
649
00:43:31,985 --> 00:43:35,570
Boy, oh, boy. [sighs]
It sure feels good to be clean again.
650
00:43:36,948 --> 00:43:38,407
I must be ten pounds lighter.
651
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:40,450
You must be.
652
00:43:40,535 --> 00:43:42,077
[saxophone playing]
653
00:43:42,161 --> 00:43:45,372
Well, hitchin' rides isn't exactly the way
you keep your schoolgirl complexion.
654
00:43:49,585 --> 00:43:51,712
I wish that guy with the sax
would give up.
655
00:43:53,089 --> 00:43:54,423
It gets on my nerves.
656
00:43:56,509 --> 00:43:57,509
Forget it.
657
00:44:00,138 --> 00:44:01,179
Have a drink.
658
00:44:02,390 --> 00:44:04,141
Aren't you afraid
I'm gonna take you up on it?
659
00:44:06,269 --> 00:44:08,562
If I didn't wanna give you a drink,
I wouldn't have offered it.
660
00:44:09,731 --> 00:44:12,983
Why be a sorehead, Roberts?
You got yourself into this thing.
661
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:15,902
You should be grateful
I'm not turning you in.
662
00:44:16,904 --> 00:44:19,114
Why, if I wasn't regular,
you'd be in the pen this minute
663
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:22,284
being photographed, fingerprinted,
and being pushed around by the cops.
664
00:44:23,077 --> 00:44:25,620
So cheer up. Get rid of that long puss.
665
00:44:27,874 --> 00:44:29,666
Or is your conscience bothering you?
666
00:44:34,672 --> 00:44:35,505
No.
667
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:37,382
It isn't.
668
00:44:37,467 --> 00:44:39,468
Swell. That's the spirit.
669
00:44:41,012 --> 00:44:43,180
He's dead,
and no moaning around will bring him back.
670
00:44:46,684 --> 00:44:50,312
Anyway, I never could understand this worrying
about something that's over and done with.
671
00:44:50,396 --> 00:44:52,439
Now look, Vera.
For the last time, I didn't kill him.
672
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:53,982
Haskell was a sick man.
673
00:44:54,067 --> 00:44:56,109
Maybe he was dead before he fell
out of the car. I don't know.
674
00:44:56,194 --> 00:44:58,403
Sure, sure. He died of old age.
675
00:44:59,364 --> 00:45:00,364
All right.
676
00:45:01,324 --> 00:45:02,824
So if it'll make you sociable...
677
00:45:04,577 --> 00:45:05,827
you didn't kill him.
678
00:45:16,464 --> 00:45:17,297
Thanks.
679
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:31,186
- We're outta liquor, Roberts.
- Yeah.
680
00:45:32,313 --> 00:45:35,440
Too bad.
I felt like getting tight tonight.
681
00:45:35,525 --> 00:45:37,567
Well, I think you succeeded.
682
00:45:37,652 --> 00:45:40,737
- Am I tight?
- As a prima donna's corset.
683
00:45:40,822 --> 00:45:42,197
- That's good.
- [glass clatters]
684
00:45:42,281 --> 00:45:44,074
I wanted to get tight.
685
00:45:44,158 --> 00:45:46,785
Why? What have you got to get tight about?
686
00:45:46,869 --> 00:45:49,246
Oh, I don't know. A few things.
687
00:45:50,123 --> 00:45:50,956
[Al] Huh.
688
00:45:52,583 --> 00:45:54,042
You should have my worries.
689
00:45:54,127 --> 00:45:56,670
If I had your troubles, I'd stay sober.
690
00:45:56,754 --> 00:45:58,380
And I've got the key to that door.
691
00:46:01,926 --> 00:46:04,678
Yeah. Maybe you're right.
692
00:46:04,762 --> 00:46:06,388
I'm always right.
693
00:46:07,723 --> 00:46:10,183
You know, I don't like your attitude,
Roberts.
694
00:46:10,268 --> 00:46:12,018
Well, there's a lot of things I don't like.
695
00:46:13,479 --> 00:46:14,813
Say...
696
00:46:17,191 --> 00:46:19,276
But life's like a ball game.
697
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,111
You got to take a swing
at whatever comes along
698
00:46:21,195 --> 00:46:23,613
before you wake up
and find it's the ninth inning.
699
00:46:24,532 --> 00:46:25,782
Bet you read that somewhere.
700
00:46:25,867 --> 00:46:29,703
That's the trouble with you, Roberts.
All you do is bellyache.
701
00:46:30,788 --> 00:46:35,500
You could have taken it easy and,
well, try and make the best of things.
702
00:46:35,585 --> 00:46:38,378
But maybe that's what's wrong
with the whole world.
703
00:46:38,463 --> 00:46:40,297
Get the professor.
704
00:46:40,381 --> 00:46:43,133
People knock themselves out
trying to buck fate.
705
00:46:43,217 --> 00:46:46,386
Now take you, for instance.
You're lucky to be alive.
706
00:46:46,471 --> 00:46:49,055
Why, suppose Haskell had pulled open
your door?
707
00:46:49,140 --> 00:46:51,850
You'd be playing a harp now.
Think of that.
708
00:46:53,603 --> 00:46:56,855
You think of it. I'm tired of thinking.
709
00:46:56,939 --> 00:46:59,816
There's plenty of people dying this minute
710
00:46:59,901 --> 00:47:02,402
that would give anything
to trade places with you.
711
00:47:04,363 --> 00:47:05,989
I know what I'm talking about.
712
00:47:07,033 --> 00:47:10,744
I'm not so sure.
At least they know they're done for.
713
00:47:10,828 --> 00:47:13,580
They don't just sweat blood
wondering if they are.
714
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:16,750
Your philosophy stinks, pal.
715
00:47:18,002 --> 00:47:21,796
We all know we're gonna kick off someday.
It's only a question of when.
716
00:47:23,591 --> 00:47:26,551
But what got us on this subject anyway?
717
00:47:26,636 --> 00:47:28,553
We'll be discussing politics next.
718
00:47:29,388 --> 00:47:30,472
Yeah.
719
00:47:32,058 --> 00:47:33,433
Where'd you hide the butts?
720
00:47:34,310 --> 00:47:35,936
On the table, sucker.
721
00:47:43,611 --> 00:47:47,113
[Al narrating] We bored each other with
conversation for a couple of hours longer.
722
00:47:47,198 --> 00:47:50,408
Every five minutes, one of us was wishing
we had another bottle or a radio
723
00:47:50,493 --> 00:47:52,118
or something to read.
724
00:47:53,538 --> 00:47:55,247
Then finally we ran out of chat.
725
00:47:56,207 --> 00:47:57,499
I know it's only eleven o'clock,
726
00:47:57,583 --> 00:48:00,085
but I want to get up early
and make the rounds to the used car lots.
727
00:48:00,169 --> 00:48:03,088
No hurry about that.
We got all the time in the world.
728
00:48:03,172 --> 00:48:05,257
Maybe you have, but if you think
I want to stay cooped up in this place
729
00:48:05,341 --> 00:48:06,925
any longer than I have to, you're batty.
730
00:48:07,009 --> 00:48:10,262
It's not a bad place. Pay plenty
for diggings like this in New York.
731
00:48:10,346 --> 00:48:12,347
I wouldn't like it if it was the Ritz.
732
00:48:12,431 --> 00:48:14,849
[coughs]
733
00:48:16,602 --> 00:48:18,144
Rotten liquor. [coughs]
734
00:48:18,229 --> 00:48:20,981
You got a mean cough.
Ought to do something about it.
735
00:48:21,065 --> 00:48:22,315
I'll be all right.
736
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,817
That's what Camille said.
737
00:48:24,527 --> 00:48:25,652
Who?
738
00:48:25,736 --> 00:48:27,195
Nobody you know.
739
00:48:30,908 --> 00:48:33,368
- Wasn't that the dame that died of consumption?
- Yeah.
740
00:48:34,704 --> 00:48:37,289
Wouldn't it be a break for you
if I did kick off.
741
00:48:37,373 --> 00:48:40,333
You'd be free
with all Haskell's dough and car.
742
00:48:40,418 --> 00:48:42,043
I don't want to see anybody die.
743
00:48:43,212 --> 00:48:44,921
Not even me?
744
00:48:45,006 --> 00:48:48,008
Especially not you. One person died on me.
745
00:48:48,092 --> 00:48:50,510
If you did, well, that's all I need.
746
00:48:52,388 --> 00:48:54,222
You don't like me, do you, Roberts?
747
00:48:55,933 --> 00:48:56,975
Like you?
748
00:48:58,352 --> 00:48:59,769
I love you.
749
00:49:01,022 --> 00:49:02,981
My favorite sport is being kept prisoner.
750
00:49:04,025 --> 00:49:07,485
After we sell the car, you can go to blazes
for all I care, but not until then.
751
00:49:14,910 --> 00:49:16,536
I'm going to bed.
752
00:49:24,962 --> 00:49:26,463
Good night, Roberts.
753
00:49:26,547 --> 00:49:29,549
Don't try and sneak away during the night.
All the doors are locked.
754
00:49:29,634 --> 00:49:33,136
Anyway, if I find you gone in the morning,
I'll notify the police.
755
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:35,889
- They'll pick you up.
- Don't worry. I know when I'm in a spot.
756
00:49:36,974 --> 00:49:40,935
Well, good night. I hope that portable
rack isn't too uncomfortable for you.
757
00:49:41,020 --> 00:49:43,146
Don't lose any sleep over it,
will you, Vera?
758
00:49:44,940 --> 00:49:47,025
[key scratching lock]
759
00:50:20,601 --> 00:50:21,935
[softly] CRestview...
760
00:50:23,813 --> 00:50:29,651
6... 5... 7,
761
00:50:29,735 --> 00:50:32,654
[whispers] 2... 3.
762
00:50:33,948 --> 00:50:35,073
Hello?
763
00:50:36,117 --> 00:50:37,117
Hello!
764
00:50:38,327 --> 00:50:39,411
Hello?
765
00:50:40,579 --> 00:50:41,746
Hello?
766
00:50:48,295 --> 00:50:51,881
No. Not yet, darling.
767
00:50:53,134 --> 00:50:54,509
Tomorrow.
768
00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:56,928
Maybe.
769
00:51:00,391 --> 00:51:01,891
[Al narrating] if this were fiction,
770
00:51:01,976 --> 00:51:05,562
I would fall in love with her, marry her,
and make a respectable woman of her,
771
00:51:05,646 --> 00:51:09,816
or else she'd make some supreme,
class-A sacrifice for me and die.
772
00:51:11,152 --> 00:51:13,361
Sue and I would ball a little
over her grave
773
00:51:13,446 --> 00:51:16,448
and make some crack about
"there's good in all of us."
774
00:51:16,532 --> 00:51:20,160
But Vera, unfortunately,
was just as rotten in the morning
775
00:51:20,244 --> 00:51:21,870
as she'd been the night before.
776
00:51:21,954 --> 00:51:23,455
[knocking]
777
00:51:23,539 --> 00:51:25,415
All right, all right, I'm coming.
778
00:51:25,499 --> 00:51:27,459
[Al] Look, Vera, it's almost noon.
779
00:51:29,003 --> 00:51:31,254
So what?
The dealers will be there all day.
780
00:51:31,338 --> 00:51:34,007
They'll be there all year too, but it
doesn't mean I'm gonna wait that long.
781
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:36,551
Shut up.
You're making noises like a husband.
782
00:51:39,180 --> 00:51:42,932
- Well, do I rate a whistle?
- You sure do, but let's go.
783
00:51:43,017 --> 00:51:46,519
Let's go, let's go. I spend 85 bucks
and two hours preparing bait,
784
00:51:46,604 --> 00:51:48,188
and all you can say is "Let's go."
785
00:51:48,272 --> 00:51:51,274
[sighs] Come on.
786
00:51:56,071 --> 00:51:58,698
We passed a few used car lots
last night down this way.
787
00:51:58,783 --> 00:52:00,784
What do you think
we can get for this heap?
788
00:52:00,868 --> 00:52:04,496
I don't know. Plenty.
You just let me handle everything.
789
00:52:04,580 --> 00:52:06,206
You think we can get $2,000?
790
00:52:06,290 --> 00:52:07,707
I don't know. But don't worry.
791
00:52:07,792 --> 00:52:10,126
I'll squeeze as much
out of this guy as I can.
792
00:52:10,211 --> 00:52:13,296
If I let it go cheap without a fight,
he might think we've stolen the car.
793
00:52:13,380 --> 00:52:17,675
And listen, don't make any slips
and call me Roberts. That'll cook us.
794
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,636
I don't need you to tell me that.
795
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:21,930
You better just sit by
and keep your mouth closed.
796
00:52:22,014 --> 00:52:24,015
Remember, we're both in the soup
if anything happens.
797
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:25,642
Forget it and drive.
798
00:52:25,726 --> 00:52:28,144
You're my wife... Vera Haskell.
799
00:52:28,229 --> 00:52:32,315
Look, after the deal's closed, let's go
back to that place on Hollywood Boulevard
800
00:52:32,399 --> 00:52:33,942
where I saw the fur jacket.
801
00:52:34,026 --> 00:52:35,235
I want to buy it.
802
00:52:35,319 --> 00:52:37,987
After the deal's closed,
I'm saying good-bye to you.
803
00:52:38,072 --> 00:52:41,491
That's right. I forgot.
I guess I'm getting kind of used to you.
804
00:52:42,743 --> 00:52:45,036
Well, that's a habit
you can start breaking.
805
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,455
Let's try this place
in the middle of the block.
806
00:52:53,671 --> 00:52:55,129
Good afternoon. What can I do for you?
807
00:52:55,214 --> 00:52:58,508
- We're interested in selling a car.
- If the price is right.
808
00:53:01,387 --> 00:53:05,473
Well, if it's in good mechanical condition,
it should blue book for about 1,600.
809
00:53:06,475 --> 00:53:07,892
Tony, take a look at this motor.
810
00:53:07,977 --> 00:53:10,228
1,600. Are you kidding?
811
00:53:14,108 --> 00:53:15,900
[car hood opening]
812
00:53:21,448 --> 00:53:23,283
Well, maybe 1,850.
813
00:53:23,367 --> 00:53:26,744
Before I let it go for 1,850, I'll wreck it
and collect the insurance first.
814
00:53:26,829 --> 00:53:27,912
[coughs]
815
00:53:31,375 --> 00:53:33,376
Lady, this motor's seen a lot of driving.
816
00:53:39,925 --> 00:53:43,219
[Al narrating] While the mechanic
inspected the car, we haggled.
817
00:53:43,721 --> 00:53:46,973
At last, when we were all worn out,
we hit a compromise...
818
00:53:47,057 --> 00:53:48,600
his price.
819
00:53:51,896 --> 00:53:53,104
Okay, it's a deal.
820
00:53:53,188 --> 00:53:56,524
- Come in, we'll sign the papers.
- I have the ownership papers here with me.
821
00:53:56,609 --> 00:53:59,319
Look, Vera, in the meantime,
will you clean out the dash compartment?
822
00:53:59,403 --> 00:54:02,196
- There may be some stuff in it.
- All right, darling.
823
00:54:04,325 --> 00:54:06,534
1,850 bucks.
824
00:54:06,619 --> 00:54:08,244
That dirty cr...
825
00:54:15,544 --> 00:54:17,420
- Mm, New York, huh?
- Yeah.
826
00:54:17,504 --> 00:54:20,757
- But you bought the car in Miami?
- Yeah.
827
00:54:20,841 --> 00:54:22,467
Well, now, let's see about the insurance.
828
00:54:22,551 --> 00:54:24,552
We can either have it transferred
or canceled.
829
00:54:24,637 --> 00:54:27,263
Uh, what kind of insurance do you have,
Mr. Haskell?
830
00:54:28,432 --> 00:54:31,559
Well, uh, aren't all the papers there?
831
00:54:33,729 --> 00:54:37,857
I don't see any. Surely you know what type
of insurance you carry on the car.
832
00:54:37,942 --> 00:54:39,442
The name of the company?
833
00:54:40,277 --> 00:54:41,486
Yeah, but, uh...
834
00:54:41,570 --> 00:54:43,321
Well, if you'll just tell me
the name of the company,
835
00:54:43,405 --> 00:54:45,114
I'd be very glad to take care
of all the details.
836
00:54:45,199 --> 00:54:46,324
Well...
837
00:54:46,408 --> 00:54:48,409
- Did you sign the papers yet?
- Not yet.
838
00:54:48,494 --> 00:54:50,536
Well, don't. We're not selling the car.
839
00:54:50,621 --> 00:54:52,538
- Well, wait a minute, Mrs. Haskell...
- Come on, darling.
840
00:54:52,623 --> 00:54:55,917
- What's the matter? Change your mind?
- Yes. I'm sorry. I guess I have.
841
00:54:56,001 --> 00:54:57,377
- But, Vera...
- Let's go.
842
00:55:03,384 --> 00:55:06,636
You got me out of a tight spot, Vera,
but I still don't understand all this.
843
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:09,722
You will in a minute.
I almost threw away a gold mine.
844
00:55:09,807 --> 00:55:13,726
1,850 isn't to be sneezed at. The car
doesn't book for as much as I thought.
845
00:55:13,811 --> 00:55:15,478
We're not selling the car.
846
00:55:15,562 --> 00:55:17,438
You want to keep it?
Now wait a minute, Vera.
847
00:55:17,523 --> 00:55:20,608
You said yourself I wouldn't be safe
until the car was in someone else's name.
848
00:55:20,693 --> 00:55:22,360
I'd like to be free of this mess
when I go.
849
00:55:22,444 --> 00:55:24,612
That's just it, Roberts. You're not going.
850
00:55:25,531 --> 00:55:27,365
- [sighs]
- There's a drive-in at the next corner.
851
00:55:27,449 --> 00:55:30,201
Pull in there and we'll get a bite to eat
and I'll explain.
852
00:55:30,285 --> 00:55:32,453
What is this,
another one of your brilliant ideas?
853
00:55:38,794 --> 00:55:41,671
- Hello. May I take your order?
- Make mine a ham sandwich and coffee.
854
00:55:41,755 --> 00:55:44,340
- And for you, sir?
- Oh, I don't care. The same.
855
00:55:46,510 --> 00:55:47,719
Thank you.
856
00:55:52,224 --> 00:55:55,226
Get this, Vera,
I've been pretty patient so far.
857
00:55:55,310 --> 00:55:57,311
I've done everything you asked me to do,
but no more.
858
00:55:57,396 --> 00:55:59,564
- Shut up.
- You've taken Haskell's money.
859
00:55:59,648 --> 00:56:01,524
And you can have the dough we get
from selling the car,
860
00:56:01,608 --> 00:56:03,192
but you're not gonna keep me a prisoner.
861
00:56:03,277 --> 00:56:05,069
It's a good thing I bought the paper.
Look at that.
862
00:56:05,154 --> 00:56:07,030
- Vera, I'm in no mood...
- Read that.
863
00:56:17,708 --> 00:56:19,292
- No.
- Yes.
864
00:56:19,376 --> 00:56:20,960
- No, I won't do it.
- Yes, you will.
865
00:56:21,045 --> 00:56:23,254
You think I'm crazy.
It's impossible, I tell ya.
866
00:56:24,131 --> 00:56:25,173
Excuse me.
867
00:56:30,637 --> 00:56:32,138
Blow the horn when you're through.
868
00:56:35,350 --> 00:56:38,561
No one could possibly get away with an act
like that. Be wise to me in a minute.
869
00:56:38,645 --> 00:56:39,812
Don't be yellow.
870
00:56:39,897 --> 00:56:42,690
You look enough like him.
The same coloring and the same build.
871
00:56:42,775 --> 00:56:44,358
See how his clothes fit ya?
872
00:56:44,443 --> 00:56:46,235
No kidding. You almost
had me fooled for a while.
873
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:47,528
Oh, grow up, Vera.
874
00:56:47,613 --> 00:56:50,406
Don't you think a father knows his own
son? There must be other relatives.
875
00:56:50,491 --> 00:56:53,326
The father won't have to know ya.
We'll wait till he gives up the ghost.
876
00:56:53,410 --> 00:56:55,411
He's an old geezer
and he won't pull through.
877
00:56:55,496 --> 00:56:59,373
And as far as the relatives are concerned,
they haven't seen you in 15 or 20 years.
878
00:57:00,876 --> 00:57:02,585
- Eat.
- I'm not hungry.
879
00:57:03,253 --> 00:57:06,130
- And I won't do it.
- It's not as tough as it sounds.
880
00:57:06,215 --> 00:57:08,049
Remember, you've got
all kinds of identification...
881
00:57:08,133 --> 00:57:09,133
his car, letters, license...
882
00:57:09,218 --> 00:57:11,761
I could never get away with it.
It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
883
00:57:11,845 --> 00:57:13,888
The old boy has scads of dough.
884
00:57:13,972 --> 00:57:17,141
Look in the paper there. Personal fortune
assessed at over 15 million.
885
00:57:17,226 --> 00:57:18,684
He'll leave plenty, I tell ya.
886
00:57:18,769 --> 00:57:20,937
Maybe he cut off his son.
How do we know?
887
00:57:21,021 --> 00:57:23,606
It's out, Vera.
I won't have anything to do with it.
888
00:57:24,817 --> 00:57:27,068
I think you will.
889
00:57:27,152 --> 00:57:30,696
Look, Vera, I'll do anything
within reason, but not that.
890
00:57:30,781 --> 00:57:32,698
So forget it or find yourself another stooge.
891
00:57:32,783 --> 00:57:34,033
You sap!
892
00:57:34,785 --> 00:57:36,911
You'll be fixed for the rest of your life
as Charlie Haskell.
893
00:57:36,995 --> 00:57:40,081
You can take your inheritance and go away.
No more worrying about the rent.
894
00:57:40,165 --> 00:57:42,291
No sweating, scheming, wondering
where your next meal's coming from!
895
00:57:42,376 --> 00:57:43,417
Think about that, Roberts!
896
00:57:43,502 --> 00:57:46,295
Vera, please. You're talking too loud.
897
00:57:46,713 --> 00:57:49,298
On this I'm splitting 50-50 with you.
Sure, why not?
898
00:57:49,383 --> 00:57:51,050
We're both alike.
Both born in the same gutter.
899
00:57:51,135 --> 00:57:52,301
Now take it easy, Vera.
900
00:57:52,386 --> 00:57:54,637
There's people around here.
You don't know what you're talking...
901
00:57:55,806 --> 00:57:59,684
We'll wait till we read that old man
Haskell's dead. Then you show up.
902
00:57:59,768 --> 00:58:02,061
Like you read in New York
that he was sick.
903
00:58:02,146 --> 00:58:04,772
No! Suppose he doesn't die?
904
00:58:04,857 --> 00:58:06,941
He will. I know he will.
Something tells me.
905
00:58:09,611 --> 00:58:12,405
[Al narrating] But as much as I insisted
I would have no part of her scheme,
906
00:58:12,489 --> 00:58:14,448
Vera was taking it for granted I would.
907
00:58:16,535 --> 00:58:19,954
Neither of us had our mind on the cards
as we played that night.
908
00:58:20,038 --> 00:58:23,207
I knew we were just trying to kill time
between newspaper editions.
909
00:58:24,042 --> 00:58:26,002
This was a deathwatch for Vera.
910
00:58:27,129 --> 00:58:28,713
Maybe it was for me too.
911
00:58:28,797 --> 00:58:32,383
Don't you realize if I'm caught they'll want
to know where I got the car and stuff?
912
00:58:32,467 --> 00:58:35,595
- Then they'll have me on a murder charge.
- If you're smart, you won't get caught.
913
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:37,054
I knock with seven.
914
00:58:37,139 --> 00:58:39,348
And if I'm caught,
don't you realize you'll be out too?
915
00:58:39,808 --> 00:58:42,935
Eighteen points. That gives me 30.
916
00:58:44,188 --> 00:58:45,438
How will I be out?
917
00:58:45,522 --> 00:58:47,982
You'll be out $1,850 we would have gotten
on the car.
918
00:58:48,066 --> 00:58:49,483
Really, Vera, you'd be an awful chump
919
00:58:49,568 --> 00:58:51,569
if you threw away all that dough
on a dizzy long shot.
920
00:58:51,653 --> 00:58:52,904
Let me sell the bus tomorrow.
921
00:58:52,988 --> 00:58:54,655
With the money it'll bring
and what you've already got,
922
00:58:54,740 --> 00:58:56,449
a clever kid like you
can run it up in no time.
923
00:58:56,533 --> 00:58:59,035
- Then we'd both be in the clear.
- I'll be in the clear anyway.
924
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:00,912
Maybe. Maybe.
925
00:59:00,996 --> 00:59:02,580
But if I got caught...
926
00:59:03,540 --> 00:59:06,083
- I'd get good and sore at you, you know.
- You mean you'd squeal?
927
00:59:06,168 --> 00:59:08,377
- Well, no, not squeal exactly...
- Never mind what you meant!
928
00:59:11,048 --> 00:59:14,425
Even if you did tell the cops
I was in on it with you,
929
00:59:14,509 --> 00:59:15,885
what could they do to me?
930
00:59:16,929 --> 00:59:19,347
They might give me the same medicine
they gave you.
931
00:59:19,431 --> 00:59:21,140
- Yeah.
- A rope.
932
00:59:23,644 --> 00:59:25,770
But I'm on my way anyhow.
933
00:59:27,731 --> 00:59:29,732
All they'll be doing will be rushing it.
934
00:59:30,359 --> 00:59:32,818
All right. But think of the 1,850 you'd lose.
935
00:59:32,903 --> 00:59:35,655
You'd kick yourself along the block
if you let that get away from you.
936
00:59:35,739 --> 00:59:38,658
I'll take the chance. Want another drink?
937
00:59:38,742 --> 00:59:41,744
You're being a goon. That's the way
people wind up behind the eight ball.
938
00:59:41,828 --> 00:59:44,330
Once they get a few dollars,
they become greedy and want more.
939
00:59:44,414 --> 00:59:45,706
My, my.
940
00:59:45,791 --> 00:59:46,791
- Caesar.
- Who?
941
00:59:46,875 --> 00:59:49,585
You know, that Roman general?
He got his for being greedy.
942
00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:52,838
He wasn't satisfied.
So the final windup was he took the count.
943
00:59:52,923 --> 00:59:55,299
A couple of days ago you didn't have a dime.
944
00:59:55,384 --> 00:59:58,219
Why, you were so broke
you couldn't pay cash for a postage stamp.
945
00:59:58,303 --> 01:00:01,347
Now you've got almost $700,
with 1,850 in the offing.
946
01:00:01,431 --> 01:00:03,099
Take my advice. Don't try for more.
947
01:00:03,183 --> 01:00:05,768
I'm tired of this game.
Let's have some blackjack.
948
01:00:05,852 --> 01:00:06,686
Play solitaire.
949
01:00:06,770 --> 01:00:09,313
- I will, if that's the way you feel about it.
- That's the way I feel about it.
950
01:00:09,398 --> 01:00:11,607
Getting sore and throwing things
won't help much, Roberts.
951
01:00:11,692 --> 01:00:15,111
I'm merely doing you a favor. I help you out of
a jam by keepin' my mouth shut.
952
01:00:15,195 --> 01:00:18,072
I show you how to make some soft money,
and what thanks do I get?
953
01:00:18,156 --> 01:00:19,156
- Thanks?
- Sure.
954
01:00:19,241 --> 01:00:21,659
Or would you rather I called the cops and told
them you killed a man and stole his money?
955
01:00:21,743 --> 01:00:22,827
- I didn't kill anybody.
- Yes, you did.
956
01:00:22,911 --> 01:00:25,705
- No, I didn't. You know I didn't.
- All right, then.
957
01:00:28,542 --> 01:00:30,251
Suppose I call the cops?
958
01:00:30,335 --> 01:00:32,920
If you're innocent,
what do you got to be scared of?
959
01:00:33,005 --> 01:00:36,590
Okay, call 'em, you mutt. Go ahead and call 'em.
See if I care.
960
01:00:36,675 --> 01:00:39,552
- At least they'll give me a square deal.
- You want me to call 'em?
961
01:00:39,636 --> 01:00:43,597
You heard me. But I'm warning ya.
If I'm pinched, I'll swear you were in on it.
962
01:00:43,682 --> 01:00:46,976
I'll say that you helped me.
If I'm frying, I'll get even with you.
963
01:00:47,060 --> 01:00:48,686
You wouldn't dare. You're chicken!
964
01:00:48,770 --> 01:00:52,815
Yeah? Then try it and see.
Call 'em. Yeah.
965
01:00:53,650 --> 01:00:55,067
Okay, I will.
966
01:00:57,112 --> 01:01:00,489
[dialing]
967
01:01:07,706 --> 01:01:09,915
Information.
968
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,835
I want the number
of the Hollywood police station.
969
01:01:14,713 --> 01:01:16,756
Okay, I got it. Thanks.
970
01:01:17,966 --> 01:01:19,592
[phone hook clicks]
971
01:01:19,676 --> 01:01:21,677
- [dialing]
- Wait a minute, Vera. You wouldn't do that.
972
01:01:21,762 --> 01:01:23,721
Oh, wouldn't I? Give me that
and I'll show you if I would!
973
01:01:23,805 --> 01:01:25,681
Take it easy now. Let's talk this over.
974
01:01:25,766 --> 01:01:27,558
[Al narrating]
This was early in the evening.
975
01:01:27,642 --> 01:01:32,146
And the conversation, while hectic,
was at least pitched low.
976
01:01:32,230 --> 01:01:36,776
But as the minutes passed and more obstacles
to her plan popped into my head,
977
01:01:36,860 --> 01:01:38,486
the air got blue.
978
01:01:38,570 --> 01:01:41,822
Each word coming from our lips
cracked like a whip.
979
01:01:41,907 --> 01:01:45,785
I reminded her that as Charles Haskell
I didn't even know my mother's name,
980
01:01:45,869 --> 01:01:47,578
where I'd gone to school,
981
01:01:47,662 --> 01:01:49,413
the name of my best friend,
982
01:01:49,498 --> 01:01:51,415
whether I had an Aunt Emma or not,
983
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:54,794
my religion, and if I'd ever owned a dog.
984
01:01:54,878 --> 01:01:57,463
I didn't even know
what my middle initial stood for.
985
01:01:57,547 --> 01:02:00,925
I also pointed out that the real Haskell
had a scar on his forearm.
986
01:02:01,510 --> 01:02:03,302
His people never saw that scar.
987
01:02:03,387 --> 01:02:05,596
He told me he ran away
right after putting out the kid's eye.
988
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,140
Yeah, but his father knew he was cut.
There'd have to be some kind of mark.
989
01:02:08,225 --> 01:02:10,434
So what?
990
01:02:10,519 --> 01:02:14,438
The old man's dead or will be.
I hope by tomorrow morning's papers.
991
01:02:14,523 --> 01:02:18,025
Anyway, you could cut yourself
a little, couldn't ya?
992
01:02:19,027 --> 01:02:22,321
Boy, for that kind of dough,
I'd let you cut my leg off.
993
01:02:22,406 --> 01:02:23,989
You're drunk and you're crazy mad, Vera.
994
01:02:24,074 --> 01:02:26,033
Turn me in if you want to,
but I won't get mixed up in this.
995
01:02:26,118 --> 01:02:28,160
Besides, how do we know?
Haskell was such a phony.
996
01:02:28,245 --> 01:02:30,371
Maybe he wasn't the man's son at all.
Maybe he just dreamed it up.
997
01:02:30,455 --> 01:02:35,918
Well, dreaming or not, you won't be dreaming
when the law taps you on the shoulder.
998
01:02:36,002 --> 01:02:39,588
There's a cute little gas chamber
waiting for you, Roberts.
999
01:02:39,673 --> 01:02:43,134
And I hear extradition to Arizona's a cinch.
1000
01:02:43,218 --> 01:02:45,052
Where's that phone?
1001
01:02:45,137 --> 01:02:46,512
- Vera.
- Leave me alone!
1002
01:02:46,596 --> 01:02:50,057
- Vera!
- I wanna phone, call the police.
1003
01:02:50,767 --> 01:02:54,812
I hate you, you stinker.
You leave me alone!
1004
01:02:54,896 --> 01:02:57,106
I'll let you alone when you promise to leave
the phone where it is.
1005
01:02:57,190 --> 01:02:59,150
- You're drunk. You don't know what you're doing.
- You're hurting me.
1006
01:02:59,234 --> 01:03:00,860
Will you promise?
1007
01:03:00,944 --> 01:03:02,528
All right.
1008
01:03:07,492 --> 01:03:10,327
- You hurt me.
- I'm sorry, but...
1009
01:03:10,412 --> 01:03:13,372
- And it's hot in here! Open up a window!
- It's not hot!
1010
01:03:13,457 --> 01:03:16,125
Don't tell me!
Now do you do it or do I do it?
1011
01:03:18,086 --> 01:03:19,837
You're no gentleman, see?
1012
01:03:19,921 --> 01:03:23,299
Yeah. All right, I'll open up the window.
1013
01:03:26,428 --> 01:03:27,511
Vera!
1014
01:03:31,892 --> 01:03:34,643
Vera, open the door.
Please open the door.
1015
01:03:34,728 --> 01:03:36,854
Vera, open the door.
Don't use the phone. Listen to me.
1016
01:03:37,522 --> 01:03:40,983
I don't like you, Roberts.
You're no gentleman, see?
1017
01:03:41,067 --> 01:03:45,154
You hurt my hand,
and I'm gonna get even with you.
1018
01:03:45,238 --> 01:03:48,407
If you don't open the door,
I'm gonna kick it down, Vera.
1019
01:03:48,492 --> 01:03:51,368
Vera, don't call the cops.
Listen to me, I'll do anything you say.
1020
01:03:52,287 --> 01:03:53,746
Vera, let me in!
1021
01:03:55,207 --> 01:03:56,665
I'll break the phone!
1022
01:04:14,267 --> 01:04:17,269
[grunting]
1023
01:04:22,609 --> 01:04:23,943
Vera.
1024
01:04:34,579 --> 01:04:36,539
[Al narrating] The world is full of skeptics.
1025
01:04:37,290 --> 01:04:39,667
I know. I'm one myself.
1026
01:04:40,669 --> 01:04:43,712
In the Haskell business, how many of you
would believe he fell out of the car?
1027
01:04:43,797 --> 01:04:46,173
And now, after killing Vera
without really meaning to do it,
1028
01:04:46,258 --> 01:04:48,676
how many of you would believe
it wasn't premeditated?
1029
01:04:49,719 --> 01:04:53,264
In a jury room, every last man of you
would go down shouting
1030
01:04:53,348 --> 01:04:56,058
that she had me over a barrel
and my only out was force.
1031
01:04:58,103 --> 01:04:59,728
The room was still.
1032
01:05:00,730 --> 01:05:03,691
So quiet that for a while I'd wondered
if I'd suddenly gone deaf.
1033
01:05:04,484 --> 01:05:06,235
It was pure fear, of course.
1034
01:05:06,319 --> 01:05:08,195
And I was hysterical,
1035
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:09,989
but without making a sound.
1036
01:05:11,324 --> 01:05:14,285
Vera was dead, and I was her murderer.
1037
01:05:15,370 --> 01:05:19,873
Murderer. What an awful word that is.
But I'd become one.
1038
01:05:19,958 --> 01:05:22,042
I'd better not get caught.
1039
01:05:22,127 --> 01:05:24,628
What evidence there was around the place
had to be destroyed.
1040
01:05:24,713 --> 01:05:26,505
And from the looks of things, there was plenty.
1041
01:05:26,590 --> 01:05:28,299
Looking around the room at things we'd bought
1042
01:05:28,383 --> 01:05:30,801
was like looking into the faces of
a hundred people who'd seen us together
1043
01:05:30,885 --> 01:05:32,803
and who remembered me.
1044
01:05:32,887 --> 01:05:35,306
This was the kind of testimony
I couldn't rub out.
1045
01:05:36,808 --> 01:05:38,058
No.
1046
01:05:38,143 --> 01:05:41,312
I could burn clothes and hide bottles
for the next five years.
1047
01:05:41,396 --> 01:05:42,855
There'd always be witnesses.
1048
01:05:42,939 --> 01:05:44,732
The landlady for one.
She could identify me.
1049
01:05:44,816 --> 01:05:46,233
The car dealer, the waitress in the drive-in,
1050
01:05:46,318 --> 01:05:48,819
the girl in the dress shop,
and that guy in the liquor store.
1051
01:05:48,903 --> 01:05:50,696
They could all identify me.
1052
01:05:52,032 --> 01:05:55,868
I was cooked. Done for.
I had to get out of there.
1053
01:05:57,203 --> 01:05:59,330
While once I remained beside a dead body
1054
01:05:59,414 --> 01:06:02,416
planning carefully how to avoid
being accused of killing him,
1055
01:06:02,500 --> 01:06:04,752
this time I couldn't.
1056
01:06:04,836 --> 01:06:06,503
This time I was guilty.
1057
01:06:07,422 --> 01:06:09,923
I knew it. Felt it.
1058
01:06:10,967 --> 01:06:13,218
I was like a guy suffering from shock.
1059
01:06:13,303 --> 01:06:14,970
Things were whirling around in my head.
1060
01:06:15,055 --> 01:06:17,890
I couldn't make myself think right.
1061
01:06:17,974 --> 01:06:21,435
All I could think of was the guy with
the saxophone and what he was playing.
1062
01:06:22,437 --> 01:06:24,021
It wasn't a love song anymore.
1063
01:06:24,814 --> 01:06:26,565
It was a dirge.
1064
01:07:12,028 --> 01:07:14,113
[jukebox: up-tempo band music]
1065
01:07:14,197 --> 01:07:16,615
[Al narrating]
But my problems weren't solved.
1066
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:19,493
I had to stay away from New York
for all time.
1067
01:07:20,328 --> 01:07:23,622
Because Al Roberts was listed as dead
and had to stay dead.
1068
01:07:24,332 --> 01:07:25,999
And I could never go back to Hollywood.
1069
01:07:26,835 --> 01:07:28,794
Someone might recognize me as Haskell.
1070
01:07:30,130 --> 01:07:33,048
- Then, too, there was Sue.
- [music stops]
1071
01:07:34,467 --> 01:07:37,803
I could never go to her with a thing
like this hanging over my head.
1072
01:07:39,180 --> 01:07:42,474
All I could do was pray she'd be happy.
1073
01:07:53,486 --> 01:07:57,656
I was in Bakersfield before I read
that Vera's body was discovered.
1074
01:07:57,741 --> 01:08:01,368
And that the police were looking for Haskell
in connection with his wife's murder.
1075
01:08:02,871 --> 01:08:04,413
Isn't that a laugh?
1076
01:08:05,081 --> 01:08:09,001
Haskell got me into this mess
and Haskell was getting me out of it.
1077
01:08:09,085 --> 01:08:11,170
The police were searching for a dead man.
1078
01:08:14,674 --> 01:08:16,884
I keep trying to forget what happened...
1079
01:08:18,261 --> 01:08:22,973
and wonder what my life might have been
if that car of Haskell's hadn't stopped.
1080
01:08:24,768 --> 01:08:26,935
But one thing I don't have to wonder about.
1081
01:08:28,146 --> 01:08:29,605
I know.
1082
01:08:31,107 --> 01:08:34,234
Someday a car will stop to pick me up
that I never thumbed.
1083
01:08:38,990 --> 01:08:39,865
Yes.
1084
01:08:40,742 --> 01:08:44,411
Fate... or some mysterious force
1085
01:08:44,496 --> 01:08:47,414
can put the finger on you or me
1086
01:08:47,499 --> 01:08:49,500
for no good reason at all.

Al Roberts, an unemployed piano player, hitches a ride, arriving at a roadside diner in Reno, Nevada. Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.
Al recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.
In Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.
Al realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.
Al crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.
In Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.
Back at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.
Al gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of "his wife." Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest.

00:05:30,038 --> 00:05:33,124
So did the customers back in the old
Break O' Dawn Club in New York.
56
00:05:33,625 --> 00:05:36,711
I can't remember a night when I didn't get
at least three requests for it.
57
00:05:37,504 --> 00:05:40,756
Sue, she was always selling it too.
58
00:05:41,258 --> 00:05:42,550
Those were the days.
59
00:05:42,634 --> 00:05:44,635
[song continues]
60
00:05:48,598 --> 00:05:51,559
[song continues, live combo playing]
61
00:06:07,701 --> 00:06:11,245
# Your eyes of blue
Your kisses too #
62
00:06:11,329 --> 00:06:14,123
# I never knew what they could do #
63
00:06:14,207 --> 00:06:19,420
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
64
00:06:19,963 --> 00:06:23,132
# You're telling everyone you know #
65
00:06:23,216 --> 00:06:26,343
# That I'm on your mind each place you go #
66
00:06:26,428 --> 00:06:31,223
# They can't believe
That you're in love with me #
67
00:06:32,392 --> 00:06:38,189
# I have always placed you far above me #
68
00:06:38,273 --> 00:06:43,778
# I just can't imagine that you love me #
69
00:06:43,862 --> 00:06:47,073
# And after all is said and done #
70
00:06:47,157 --> 00:06:50,284
# To think that I'm the lucky one #
71
00:06:50,368 --> 00:06:55,748
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
72
00:07:02,631 --> 00:07:04,715
[Al narrating] It wasn't much of a club, really.
73
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,300
You know the kind.
74
00:07:06,384 --> 00:07:08,385
A joint where you could have a sandwich
and a few drinks,
75
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:11,055
and run interference for your girl
on the dance floor.
76
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:15,101
- [playing romantic melody]
- I fronted the piano in there every night
77
00:07:15,185 --> 00:07:17,311
from 8:00 until the place closed up,
78
00:07:17,395 --> 00:07:19,563
which usually meant 4:00 in the morning.
79
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:22,066
A good job as jobs went in those days.
80
00:07:25,487 --> 00:07:28,739
Then, too, there was Sue,
81
00:07:28,824 --> 00:07:31,784
who made working there
a little like working in heaven.
82
00:07:32,244 --> 00:07:36,372
But how we felt about each other, well,
there was nothing very unusual in that.
83
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:39,834
I was an ordinary healthy guy,
and she was an ordinary healthy girl,
84
00:07:39,918 --> 00:07:43,170
and when you add those two together,
you get an ordinary healthy romance,
85
00:07:43,255 --> 00:07:44,672
which is the old story.
86
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:49,426
Sure. But somehow
the most wonderful thing in the world.
87
00:07:49,511 --> 00:07:51,846
[continues playing, rapidly]
88
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:59,436
All in all, I was a pretty lucky guy.
89
00:08:12,450 --> 00:08:15,494
Mr. Patterewsky, I presume?
It's beautiful.
90
00:08:15,579 --> 00:08:17,663
You're going to make Carnegie Hall yet, Al.
91
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:20,332
Yeah. As a janitor.
92
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:22,251
I'll make my debut in the basement.
93
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:26,005
I don't blame you for being bitter,
darling, but you mustn't give up hope.
94
00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:27,798
- Why, some day...
- Yeah, some day,
95
00:08:27,883 --> 00:08:29,633
if I don't get arthritis first.
96
00:08:29,718 --> 00:08:31,385
In the meantime, let's blow this trap.
97
00:08:31,469 --> 00:08:32,845
[piano lid thuds]
98
00:08:48,737 --> 00:08:49,737
[door closes]
99
00:08:51,323 --> 00:08:53,782
- Like to get something to eat, hon?
- Oh, I don't think so, Al.
100
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:56,911
I lose my appetite working in this fleabag.
101
00:08:56,995 --> 00:08:58,954
- Let's go home.
- Okay.
102
00:08:59,831 --> 00:09:02,416
I can't stand much more of that dump.
103
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:05,211
Did you see that drunk tonight
trying to paw me?
104
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:08,547
- No, what drunk?
- Does it matter what drunk?
105
00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:11,800
Say, what's the matter with you tonight, darling?
106
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:14,511
That's the third time you started
to tell me something and then stopped.
107
00:09:15,305 --> 00:09:17,806
We shouldn't have any secrets
from each other, Sue.
108
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:20,267
Next week, we're gonna make with a ring
and a license. We'll be a team.
109
00:09:20,352 --> 00:09:23,395
Yes, that's right. In the bush league.
110
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,190
- I don't get ya.
- We've been struck out.
111
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:29,276
That's a funny way to talk, darling.
112
00:09:29,361 --> 00:09:31,737
- Don't you wanna marry me?
- Al, look, I love you.
113
00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:34,198
You know I do.
And I want to marry you.
114
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:36,742
- But...?
- But not now.
115
00:09:36,826 --> 00:09:39,286
Only after we've made good.
116
00:09:39,371 --> 00:09:40,996
Sunday I'm going away.
117
00:09:41,706 --> 00:09:43,666
Oh, I know you'll think it's silly.
118
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:46,001
That's why I hesitated to tell you.
119
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:47,795
But I'm going to California.
120
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:50,297
I wanna try my luck in Hollywood.
121
00:09:50,548 --> 00:09:52,758
[Al] That's the most
stupid thing I ever heard of.
122
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:56,387
Don't you know millions of people go out there
every year and wind up polishing cuspidors?
123
00:09:56,471 --> 00:09:57,638
I thought you had better sense.
124
00:09:57,722 --> 00:09:59,598
You sound as if you think
I don't have any talent.
125
00:09:59,683 --> 00:10:02,101
- That has nothing to do with it.
- I'll make out all right.
126
00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:03,936
Maybe. But what about me?
127
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:06,563
Doesn't it mean anything to you
that you're busting up all our plans?
128
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:09,817
- We may not see each other for years?
- It won't be that long.
129
00:10:09,901 --> 00:10:12,111
- I thought you loved me.
- I do.
130
00:10:12,195 --> 00:10:13,737
You know I do.
131
00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:18,325
Well, here we are.
132
00:10:20,787 --> 00:10:21,787
Al...
133
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:25,541
Al, why can't you see my side of it?
134
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:28,294
I'm young. We both are. And...
135
00:10:28,378 --> 00:10:31,005
And we've got all the time in the world
to settle down.
136
00:10:31,715 --> 00:10:33,966
[sighs] Really, darling.
137
00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:37,303
What I'm doing is the only sane thing to do.
138
00:10:37,387 --> 00:10:40,889
[sighs] I... I hate the thought
of being so far away from you.
139
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:44,226
But... But we'll be together again some day.
140
00:10:44,311 --> 00:10:47,563
[sighs] Maybe you'll decide
to come out too, later on.
141
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:49,898
- So long.
- Al.
142
00:10:50,734 --> 00:10:53,068
Aren't you gonna kiss me good night?
143
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,237
Sure, why not?
144
00:10:57,741 --> 00:10:58,991
Good night.
145
00:11:05,248 --> 00:11:07,708
[playing romantic melody]
146
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:34,276
[playing jauntily, jazzy]
147
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:47,164
[changing rhythm, slower]
148
00:12:09,604 --> 00:12:12,231
[changing rhythm, jittery]
149
00:12:18,822 --> 00:12:21,824
[no audible dialogue]
150
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:40,717
[piano playing stops]
151
00:12:40,802 --> 00:12:42,469
- [applause]
- Say, Roberts.
152
00:12:42,554 --> 00:12:45,848
You hit the jackpot this time. Ten bucks.
153
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:47,391
Thanks.
154
00:12:53,481 --> 00:12:56,024
[Al narrating] So when this drunk handed me
a ten-spot after a request,
155
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:57,526
I couldn't get very excited.
156
00:12:57,777 --> 00:13:01,363
What was it, I asked myself?
A piece of paper crawling with germs.
157
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:03,866
Couldn't buy anything I wanted.
158
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:05,242
It couldn't...
159
00:13:08,246 --> 00:13:09,705
Then I thought of something.
160
00:13:33,104 --> 00:13:34,313
Long distance.
161
00:13:34,397 --> 00:13:36,857
I'd like to put a call through to Los Angeles.
162
00:13:36,941 --> 00:13:39,193
Miss Harvey. Sue Harvey.
163
00:13:39,277 --> 00:13:41,069
H-A-R-V-E-Y.
164
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:44,615
The number is CRestview 65723.
165
00:14:04,594 --> 00:14:06,386
- 4.50.
- [coin clatters]
166
00:14:06,471 --> 00:14:08,347
- 4.75.
- [coin clatters]
167
00:14:08,431 --> 00:14:09,431
5.00.
168
00:14:12,477 --> 00:14:15,020
Hello, Sue? This is Al.
169
00:14:15,104 --> 00:14:17,356
Oh, baby, it's great to hear from you too.
170
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,651
What's that? You do?
Oh, me too, darling.
171
00:14:20,735 --> 00:14:23,362
I thought I'd go batty without you.
I just had to...
172
00:14:23,446 --> 00:14:24,446
Huh?
173
00:14:25,406 --> 00:14:27,449
You're workin' as a hash slinger?
174
00:14:27,534 --> 00:14:28,867
Gee, honey, that's tough.
175
00:14:28,952 --> 00:14:32,371
Those guys out in Hollywood don't know
the real thing when it's right in front of them.
176
00:14:32,455 --> 00:14:34,164
You just stick it out, Sue, baby.
177
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:37,417
Keep goin' around to those casting offices.
I'm sure you'll click.
178
00:14:38,002 --> 00:14:40,629
Look, I'll tell you what.
You stay put out there. I'll come to you.
179
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:43,632
No, don't try to stop me. Just expect me.
180
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:46,760
Train? Who knows?
Train, plane, bus, magic carpet.
181
00:14:46,844 --> 00:14:50,430
I'll be there if I have to crawl.
If I have to travel by pogo stick.
182
00:14:50,515 --> 00:14:53,809
And then... let's get married right away.
183
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:59,439
That's the stuff. That's what
I've been wanting to hear you say.
184
00:15:00,525 --> 00:15:03,110
Well, good-bye for now.
185
00:15:04,362 --> 00:15:06,905
I'll be seeing you soon. [kisses]
186
00:15:07,282 --> 00:15:10,492
Yeah. [kisses] Bye.
187
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:18,500
[Al narrating] The only way I could
cross country was to thumb rides,
188
00:15:18,585 --> 00:15:21,587
for even after hocking everything,
I only had enough money to eat.
189
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:24,923
Money. You know what that is.
190
00:15:25,717 --> 00:15:27,551
It's the stuff you never have enough of.
191
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:29,720
Little green things
with George Washington's picture
192
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:33,432
that men slave for,
commit crimes for, die for.
193
00:15:34,183 --> 00:15:36,226
It's the stuff that has caused
more trouble in the world
194
00:15:36,311 --> 00:15:38,186
than anything else we ever invented,
195
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:41,273
simply because there's too little of it.
196
00:15:41,357 --> 00:15:43,442
At least I had too little of it.
197
00:15:43,526 --> 00:15:45,319
So it was me for the thumb.
198
00:16:01,753 --> 00:16:03,170
Ever done any hitchhiking?
199
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:05,881
It's not much fun, believe me.
200
00:16:06,549 --> 00:16:08,842
Oh, yeah,
I know all about how it's an education,
201
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:11,595
and how you get to meet a lot of people,
and all that.
202
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:15,849
But me, from now on
I'll take my education in college,
203
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:20,187
or in P.S. 62, or I'll send $1.98
in stamps for ten easy lessons.
204
00:16:29,447 --> 00:16:33,367
Thumbing rides may save you bus fare,
but it's dangerous.
205
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:37,954
You never know what's in store for you
when you hear the squeal of brakes.
206
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,001
If only I had known what I was getting into
that day in Arizona.
207
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:46,546
Here, throw that in the back seat.
208
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:51,301
Okay, let's go.
Make sure that door's closed.
209
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:53,553
- [door closes]
- [lock clacks]
210
00:17:05,483 --> 00:17:09,319
You know, Emily Post ought to write
a book of rules for guys thumbing rides.
211
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:13,031
Because as it is now you never know
what's right and what's wrong.
212
00:17:13,783 --> 00:17:17,285
We rode along for a little while,
neither one of us saying anything.
213
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:19,538
I was glad of that.
214
00:17:19,622 --> 00:17:22,457
I never know what to say
to strange people driving cars.
215
00:17:23,418 --> 00:17:26,545
And too, you can never tell
if a guy wants to talk.
216
00:17:26,629 --> 00:17:29,631
A lot of rides have been cut short
because of a big mouth.
217
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:34,845
So I kept my mouth shut
until he started opening up.
218
00:17:35,596 --> 00:17:38,473
Hand me that little box
in the compartment, will ya, pal?
219
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:42,936
Hold the wheel, will ya?
220
00:17:44,397 --> 00:17:45,397
[pills rattling]
221
00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:53,029
[glove box closes]
222
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:56,450
- How far are ya going?
- LA.
223
00:17:56,534 --> 00:17:58,577
Well, you're really traveling aren't ya?
224
00:17:58,661 --> 00:18:00,704
Yeah, but I don't expect to make it
for a couple years
225
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:02,372
at the rate I've been promoting rides.
226
00:18:02,457 --> 00:18:03,582
Not much luck, huh?
227
00:18:03,666 --> 00:18:05,459
Sure. All bad.
228
00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:07,753
Not many people stop for a guy these days.
229
00:18:07,837 --> 00:18:09,296
Afraid of a stickup maybe.
230
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:10,505
Ah, you can't blame 'em.
231
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:13,675
- Where ya comin' from?
- New York.
232
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,137
Well, New York. You're in luck this time.
233
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:19,139
I'm goin' all the way.
234
00:18:19,223 --> 00:18:20,807
Right through to Los Angeles.
235
00:18:22,018 --> 00:18:24,102
- You drive a car?
- Sure.
236
00:18:24,187 --> 00:18:26,897
- Whenever you're tired, let me know.
- I'll holler.
237
00:18:28,691 --> 00:18:30,776
I guess at least an hour passed
before I noticed
238
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:32,778
those deep scratches in his right hand.
239
00:18:33,237 --> 00:18:34,696
They were wicked.
240
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:37,532
Three puffy red lines
about a quarter of an inch apart.
241
00:18:38,576 --> 00:18:40,869
He must have seen me looking at them
because he said...
242
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:43,288
Beauties, aren't they?
243
00:18:44,081 --> 00:18:45,957
They're gonna be scars someday.
244
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:49,002
What an animal.
245
00:18:49,086 --> 00:18:51,880
Whatever it was, it must have been
pretty big and vicious to have done that.
246
00:18:52,381 --> 00:18:54,424
Right on both counts, New York.
247
00:18:54,509 --> 00:18:57,636
I was tussling with the most
dangerous animal in the world...
248
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,804
a woman.
249
00:18:59,388 --> 00:19:01,014
She must have been Tarzan's mate.
250
00:19:01,098 --> 00:19:02,766
Looks like you lost the bout.
251
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:04,559
Certainly wasn't a draw.
252
00:19:05,394 --> 00:19:08,313
You know, there ought to be a law
against dames with claws.
253
00:19:08,397 --> 00:19:09,314
Yeah.
254
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:11,483
I tossed her out of the car on her ear.
255
00:19:12,318 --> 00:19:16,655
Was I wrong? Give a lift to a tomato,
you expect her to be nice, don't ya?
256
00:19:16,739 --> 00:19:17,656
Yeah.
257
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:20,242
After all, what kind of dames thumb rides?
258
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:22,577
- Sunday school teachers?
- Yeah.
259
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:25,747
The little witch.
260
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:28,458
She must've thought she was riding
with some fall guy.
261
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:32,337
And me who's been booking horses
around racetracks since I was 20.
262
00:19:33,047 --> 00:19:34,923
[scoffs] I've known a million dames like her.
263
00:19:35,383 --> 00:19:37,217
- Two million.
- Yeah.
264
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:42,138
Stopped the car, opened the door...
265
00:19:42,223 --> 00:19:44,641
"Take it on the Arthur Duffy, sister,"
I told her.
266
00:19:44,725 --> 00:19:48,103
- That's the stuff.
- As I was down on her. [laughs]
267
00:19:48,479 --> 00:19:52,148
But if you wanna see a real scar, brother,
get a load of this.
268
00:19:53,442 --> 00:19:55,026
Wow.
269
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:57,904
- I got that one dueling.
- Dueling?
270
00:19:58,406 --> 00:19:59,865
Yeah. We were just kidding, of course.
271
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:02,450
My dad owned a couple of
Franco-Prussian sabers.
272
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:04,244
Kept 'em on the wall for decorations.
273
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:09,749
One day, another kid and I took 'em down
when the old man wasn't around. Had a duel.
274
00:20:09,834 --> 00:20:11,376
[chuckles]
275
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:13,587
He hit me in the arm, here.
276
00:20:13,671 --> 00:20:15,338
Pretty mean cut.
277
00:20:15,423 --> 00:20:16,965
Infection set in later.
278
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:18,842
Yeah, I can see that.
279
00:20:19,093 --> 00:20:21,428
- Oh, gimme that box again, will ya?
- Yeah.
280
00:20:24,765 --> 00:20:26,099
[pills rattling]
281
00:20:31,355 --> 00:20:32,397
[glove box closes]
282
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:35,525
Pain made me lose my head, I guess.
283
00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:37,694
I began slashing.
284
00:20:37,778 --> 00:20:40,488
Before I knew it,
I put the other kid's eye out.
285
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:43,950
- That was tough.
- Well, it was just an accident, of course.
286
00:20:44,035 --> 00:20:48,413
But you know how kids are. I got scared...
decided I was gonna run away from home.
287
00:20:48,915 --> 00:20:51,958
Old man almost clocked me
when I was packin' my duds.
288
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:56,296
If the bloody rag I had wrapped around my wrist
hadn't caught his attention,
289
00:20:56,380 --> 00:20:58,048
he'd have seen the bundle for sure.
290
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:01,551
But I beat it when he was phoning for a doctor.
291
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:06,598
That was 15, 16 years ago.
I haven't been home since.
292
00:21:10,561 --> 00:21:12,729
Pull in there for a bite of something, huh?
293
00:21:12,813 --> 00:21:14,481
[Al narrating] A bite of something.
294
00:21:14,565 --> 00:21:16,066
Brother, was I hungry.
295
00:21:16,150 --> 00:21:18,401
I hadn't had anything in my stomach for hours.
296
00:21:19,362 --> 00:21:21,404
Yet even with that gnawing
in the pit of my belly,
297
00:21:21,489 --> 00:21:24,324
I didn't want to be in too big a rush
to put on the feed bag.
298
00:21:25,076 --> 00:21:27,827
First, I had to make sure
this guy knew the score.
299
00:21:27,912 --> 00:21:31,247
If I got him down on me,
it was good-bye ticket to Hollywood.
300
00:21:32,083 --> 00:21:33,708
I'll wait out here for you, mister.
301
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:36,753
If it's the money, don't worry about
paying for it. This time it's on me.
302
00:21:36,837 --> 00:21:39,255
- Well, that's white of you, Mr...
- Haskell. Think nothing of it.
303
00:21:39,340 --> 00:21:42,717
You make your first million, maybe you can
do the same for me. Come on, New York.
304
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:44,594
I gotta make the West Coast by Wednesday.
305
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:47,263
There's a horse running at
Santa Anita named Paradisiacal.
306
00:21:47,348 --> 00:21:49,933
- Means dough to me if I'm running.
- We'll make it all right.
307
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:54,688
[Al narrating] He did most of the talking
during the half hour we were in the place.
308
00:21:54,772 --> 00:21:55,772
I ate.
309
00:21:56,857 --> 00:22:01,027
He rambled on about his old man, who he hadn't
heard from since he ran away as a kid,
310
00:22:01,112 --> 00:22:02,946
and how he happened to become a bookie,
311
00:22:03,030 --> 00:22:05,740
and then all about how he got rooked in Miami.
312
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:08,660
One race, 38 grand.
They cleaned out my book.
313
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:11,079
- How do you like that?
- That was tough luck.
314
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:13,164
Yeah, and I'm supposed to be the smart guy.
315
00:22:13,249 --> 00:22:16,543
You just wait. I'm going back to Florida
next season with all kinds of jack.
316
00:22:16,627 --> 00:22:18,586
And you watch those stinkers run for cover.
317
00:22:19,547 --> 00:22:21,965
- Want anything else?
- No, thanks, I've had plenty.
318
00:22:27,638 --> 00:22:29,556
- The check there, sister?
- Mm-hmm.
319
00:22:32,601 --> 00:22:34,519
Oh, just a minute. Your change, sir.
320
00:22:34,603 --> 00:22:37,272
- Keep it, sister.
- Oh, thank you, sir. Call again.
321
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,190
I'll be waitin' outside for you
when you finish work.
322
00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:40,400
[chuckles]
323
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:41,776
Sharp chick, huh?
324
00:22:49,952 --> 00:22:52,912
[Al narrating] I drove all that night
while Haskell slept like a log.
325
00:22:53,581 --> 00:22:56,416
After a while, I began to get sleepy myself.
326
00:22:57,835 --> 00:23:01,671
I was happy though.
Soon I'd be with Sue again.
327
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:03,214
The long trip was practically over,
328
00:23:03,299 --> 00:23:06,009
and there'd be no more hoofing it
down the concrete.
329
00:23:06,761 --> 00:23:08,928
I began to think of the future,
330
00:23:09,013 --> 00:23:12,098
which couldn't have been brighter
if I'd embroidered it with neon lights.
331
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,226
It was nice to think of Sue shooting to the top.
332
00:23:16,437 --> 00:23:20,356
[chuckles] It's amazing what a full belly
can do to your imagination.
333
00:23:20,566 --> 00:23:23,276
[romantic ballad]
334
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:28,156
# Your eyes are blue
Your kisses too #
335
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,577
# I never knew what they could do #
336
00:23:32,661 --> 00:23:39,667
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
337
00:23:41,045 --> 00:23:45,632
# You're telling everyone you know #
338
00:23:45,716 --> 00:23:50,095
# I'm on your mind each place you go #
339
00:23:50,179 --> 00:23:56,017
# I can't believe that you're in love #
340
00:23:56,352 --> 00:24:02,690
# With me #
341
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:12,951
Mr. Haskell.
342
00:24:14,703 --> 00:24:15,703
Mr. Haskell?
343
00:24:18,833 --> 00:24:20,875
Mr. Haskell, wake up! It's raining.
344
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,002
Don't you think we ought to stop
and put up the top?
345
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:33,263
Mr. Haskell, I'm gonna put up the top.
346
00:24:48,154 --> 00:24:50,029
[Al narrating] Until then,
I'd done things my way.
347
00:24:50,531 --> 00:24:52,699
But from then on, something else
stepped in and shunted me off
348
00:24:52,783 --> 00:24:55,535
to a different destination
than the one I had picked for myself.
349
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:58,329
For when I pulled open that door...
350
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:05,170
Mr. Haskell, what's the matter?
Are you hurt?
351
00:25:06,255 --> 00:25:07,547
Are you hurt, Mr. Haskell?
352
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:11,467
[Al narrating]
Start your sermon. I'll listen to it.
353
00:25:12,219 --> 00:25:15,013
But I know what you're gonna hand me
even before you open your mouths.
354
00:25:15,598 --> 00:25:18,016
You're gonna tell me you don't believe
my story of how Haskell died
355
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:21,352
and give me that "don't make me laugh"
expression on your smug faces.
356
00:25:24,815 --> 00:25:26,357
I saw at once he was dead.
357
00:25:26,692 --> 00:25:28,193
And I was in for it.
358
00:25:28,277 --> 00:25:30,111
Who would believe he fell out of the car?
359
00:25:30,196 --> 00:25:31,738
If Haskell came to, which,
of course, he couldn't,
360
00:25:31,822 --> 00:25:34,240
even he would swear
I conked him over the head for his dough.
361
00:25:34,325 --> 00:25:35,491
Yes, I was in for it.
362
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:39,829
Instinct told me to run,
but then I realized it was hopeless.
363
00:25:39,914 --> 00:25:41,998
There were lots of people back down the road
who could identify me.
364
00:25:42,082 --> 00:25:44,000
That gas station guy and the waitress.
365
00:25:44,084 --> 00:25:46,419
I would be in a worse spot then
trying to explain why I beat it.
366
00:25:47,504 --> 00:25:50,381
The next possibility was to sit tight
and tell the truth when the cops came.
367
00:25:50,466 --> 00:25:53,176
But that would be crazy.
They'd laugh at the truth.
368
00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:54,552
And I'd have my head in a noose.
369
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:59,807
So what else was there to do
but hide the body and get away in the car?
370
00:25:59,892 --> 00:26:02,101
I couldn't leave the car there
with him in the gully.
371
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:03,937
That would be like erecting a tombstone.
372
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:35,385
My idea was to cover him with brush,
not to rob him.
373
00:26:35,636 --> 00:26:38,304
But then I remembered that even if
I only drove the car for 100 miles or so,
374
00:26:38,389 --> 00:26:39,722
I would need money for gas.
375
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:44,060
Besides, it was stupid of me
to leave all that money on a dead man.
376
00:26:45,145 --> 00:26:47,188
Not only that,
I'd have to take his driver's license
377
00:26:47,273 --> 00:26:48,690
in case I was stopped for something.
378
00:26:50,901 --> 00:26:52,235
I didn't like to think about it,
379
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,821
but by that time I'd done
just what the police would say I did.
380
00:26:54,905 --> 00:26:57,740
Even if I didn't... My clothes.
381
00:26:58,367 --> 00:27:00,618
The owner of such an expensive car
would never be wearing them.
382
00:27:01,662 --> 00:27:03,246
Some cop might pull me in on suspicion.
383
00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,802
[motorcycle approaches]
384
00:27:28,939 --> 00:27:30,231
Hey, you. This your car?
385
00:27:30,941 --> 00:27:33,943
Don't you know better than to leave a car
with the wheels halfway in the middle of the road?
386
00:27:34,028 --> 00:27:35,403
That's the way accidents happen.
387
00:27:35,612 --> 00:27:38,614
I... I'm sorry, Officer.
I was just putting up my top.
388
00:27:38,699 --> 00:27:41,367
- I didn't think.
- Well, the next time, think.
389
00:27:41,452 --> 00:27:43,911
I'll let you go now,
but watch your step in the future.
390
00:27:43,996 --> 00:27:46,414
I know that it's a lonely stretch,
but cars come by here once in a while.
391
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:49,334
- We have plenty of crack-ups.
- Thanks, Officer.
392
00:28:13,067 --> 00:28:15,777
[Al narrating] I left nothing in the car
that'd give me away as Roberts.
393
00:28:15,861 --> 00:28:18,529
If they found a dead man in the gully now,
it could be me.
394
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:28,122
As I drove off, it was still raining.
395
00:28:29,083 --> 00:28:31,876
The drops streaked
down the windshield like tears.
396
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:36,381
I kept imagining I was being followed,
397
00:28:36,465 --> 00:28:38,341
that I could hear sirens
back in the distance.
398
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,471
Just how long it took to cover the 60-odd
miles to the California state line,
399
00:28:43,555 --> 00:28:44,555
I don't know.
400
00:28:45,057 --> 00:28:46,641
I lost all track of time.
401
00:28:47,351 --> 00:28:51,270
But the rain had stopped and the sun was up
when I pulled up to the inspection station.
402
00:28:55,859 --> 00:28:56,692
Hello.
403
00:28:57,653 --> 00:28:59,946
- Carrying any fruits or vegetables?
- No.
404
00:29:00,030 --> 00:29:02,198
- Any livestock or poultry?
- No.
405
00:29:02,282 --> 00:29:03,741
[footsteps approaching]
406
00:29:03,826 --> 00:29:06,202
I'd like to see your registration
and driver's license, please.
407
00:29:10,749 --> 00:29:13,251
- Anything in the baggage compartment?
- Just baggage.
408
00:29:15,212 --> 00:29:18,548
Charles Haskell Jr.
Age 30, brown eyes, dark hair.
409
00:29:18,841 --> 00:29:20,216
Identifying marks, none.
410
00:29:20,884 --> 00:29:23,094
- Are you Charles Haskell Jr.?
- Yes.
411
00:29:23,178 --> 00:29:25,263
Well, remember, if you're employed,
and you stay over 30 days,
412
00:29:25,347 --> 00:29:27,223
you take out California plates.
413
00:29:27,307 --> 00:29:29,517
All right, Officer, but I'll only be
in the state a short while.
414
00:29:31,186 --> 00:29:32,270
Right. You can go now.
415
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:42,113
[Al narrating] I couldn't drive any farther
without some sleep.
416
00:29:42,197 --> 00:29:45,783
Cops or no cops, I knew
I had to hit the hay and hit it hard.
417
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,203
I was dead tired.
418
00:30:20,027 --> 00:30:20,943
No.
419
00:30:21,820 --> 00:30:23,362
No, you can't, Mr. Haskell.
420
00:30:24,323 --> 00:30:25,156
No.
421
00:30:32,706 --> 00:30:35,374
Mr. Haskell, you can't die.
422
00:30:36,502 --> 00:30:39,128
They'll think... They'll think I did it.
423
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:42,173
No, Mr. Haskell.
424
00:30:42,591 --> 00:30:44,717
No, no...
425
00:30:48,722 --> 00:30:49,805
[knocks]
426
00:30:54,019 --> 00:30:55,603
[knocking continues]
427
00:30:59,358 --> 00:31:00,233
Who's there?
428
00:31:00,317 --> 00:31:02,610
It's the maid. Can I come in and clean?
429
00:31:03,820 --> 00:31:06,322
Later... in a half-hour.
430
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:07,490
All right, sir.
431
00:31:32,057 --> 00:31:33,599
[Al narrating] There was no time to lose.
432
00:31:33,684 --> 00:31:36,227
Every minute I had to be Charles Haskell
was dangerous.
433
00:31:36,311 --> 00:31:38,521
I'd have to be Charles Haskell
until I got to some city
434
00:31:38,605 --> 00:31:40,648
where I could leave the car
and be swallowed up.
435
00:31:46,238 --> 00:31:48,864
That meant driving the car
as far as San Bernardino,
436
00:31:48,949 --> 00:31:50,491
maybe even to Los Angeles.
437
00:31:50,576 --> 00:31:52,451
In a little town, I might be noticed.
438
00:31:52,536 --> 00:31:54,328
But in a city, I should be safe enough.
439
00:31:55,581 --> 00:31:58,666
Then, after I ditched the car,
I could go on to Sue.
440
00:31:59,585 --> 00:32:02,545
But those five minutes at the state line
made me realize
441
00:32:02,629 --> 00:32:05,631
it might be a good idea to find out
a little bit about Mr. Haskell.
442
00:32:06,633 --> 00:32:09,302
Then if anybody asked me questions,
I could give the right answers.
443
00:32:10,345 --> 00:32:13,806
The first thing I found out
was that I had $768.
444
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:17,768
This was a lot of jack, but believe me,
445
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:19,895
it was the kind of money
I'd rather not have.
446
00:32:27,446 --> 00:32:31,115
And then I found out from a letter
Haskell was carting around in his bag
447
00:32:31,199 --> 00:32:33,784
that he wasn't the openhanded,
easygoing big shot
448
00:32:33,869 --> 00:32:36,412
who went around buying dinners
for strange hitchhikers.
449
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:39,832
Before I got done reading it,
I saw him more as a chiseler.
450
00:32:41,209 --> 00:32:43,836
It was written
to his old man in California,
451
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,796
the one he hadn't seen in so many years.
452
00:32:46,590 --> 00:32:51,385
In it, Haskell posed as a salesman...
of hymnals, of all things.
453
00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:54,388
It was easy to see where Haskell expected
454
00:32:54,473 --> 00:32:56,849
to raise a new stake
for his book in Miami...
455
00:32:57,684 --> 00:32:59,143
by rooking his old man.
456
00:33:00,771 --> 00:33:03,689
That was about all I found out
from his effects.
457
00:33:03,774 --> 00:33:04,857
And it was enough.
458
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:09,737
I told myself maybe old man Haskell
was lucky his son kicked off.
459
00:33:10,864 --> 00:33:12,531
He would never know it,
460
00:33:12,616 --> 00:33:16,077
but it saved him from taking a flier
in sacred literature preferred.
461
00:33:22,793 --> 00:33:24,377
[birds chirping]
462
00:33:41,186 --> 00:33:43,979
Near the airport at Desert Center,
I pulled up for water.
463
00:33:45,607 --> 00:33:46,691
There was a woman.
464
00:33:51,321 --> 00:33:53,614
Hey, you. Come on if you want a ride.
465
00:34:07,587 --> 00:34:08,587
[car hood slams]
466
00:34:39,995 --> 00:34:41,662
How far you goin'?
467
00:34:41,747 --> 00:34:43,122
How far are you going?
468
00:34:43,749 --> 00:34:46,792
[Al narrating] That took me by surprise.
I turned my head to look her over.
469
00:34:47,836 --> 00:34:50,588
She was facing straight ahead,
so I couldn't see her eyes.
470
00:34:51,006 --> 00:34:53,758
But she was young, not more than 24.
471
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:56,844
Man, she looked as if
she'd just been thrown off
472
00:34:56,928 --> 00:34:59,305
the crummiest freight train in the world.
473
00:35:00,140 --> 00:35:02,641
Yet, in spite of this,
I got the impression of beauty.
474
00:35:03,727 --> 00:35:06,020
Not the beauty of a movie actress,
mind you,
475
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,689
or the beauty you dream about
when you're with your wife,
476
00:35:08,774 --> 00:35:10,065
but a natural beauty,
477
00:35:10,567 --> 00:35:13,194
a beauty that's almost homely
because it's so real.
478
00:35:15,363 --> 00:35:17,114
Then, suddenly, she turned to face me.
479
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:20,409
- How far did you say you were going?
- Los Angeles.
480
00:35:20,494 --> 00:35:21,410
LA?
481
00:35:22,287 --> 00:35:25,790
- LA's good enough for me, mister.
- That's what I was afraid of.
482
00:35:25,874 --> 00:35:29,084
- What'd you say?
- Oh, nothing. Just thinking out loud.
483
00:35:29,169 --> 00:35:31,128
People get in trouble for doing that.
484
00:35:32,005 --> 00:35:34,715
- What's your name?
- You can call me Vera, if you like.
485
00:35:35,509 --> 00:35:37,176
- You live in Los Angeles?
- No.
486
00:35:39,054 --> 00:35:41,555
- Where you coming from?
- Oh, back there.
487
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,098
- Needles?
- No.
488
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:47,102
Oh, sure. Phoenix.
You look just like a Phoenix girl.
489
00:35:47,687 --> 00:35:49,855
- Are the girls in Phoenix that bad?
- [chuckles]
490
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:51,774
[Al narrating]
The girl must have been pretty tired
491
00:35:51,858 --> 00:35:54,944
because she fell asleep not 20 minutes
after she stepped into the car.
492
00:35:55,737 --> 00:35:59,782
She lay sprawled out with her head resting
against the far door, like Haskell.
493
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:03,452
I didn't like that part of it much,
but I didn't wake her up.
494
00:36:04,955 --> 00:36:06,872
It wasn't that this girl still worried me.
495
00:36:07,374 --> 00:36:10,376
I'd gotten over that funny feeling
I had when she looked at me,
496
00:36:10,460 --> 00:36:13,003
which I put down
as just my jangled nerves.
497
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:16,590
With her eyes closed
and the tenseness gone out of her,
498
00:36:16,675 --> 00:36:18,133
she seemed harmless enough.
499
00:36:18,885 --> 00:36:21,929
Instead of disliking her,
I began to feel sorry for her.
500
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:25,182
The poor kid probably
had had a rough time of it.
501
00:36:26,476 --> 00:36:27,977
Who was she, anyway?
502
00:36:28,061 --> 00:36:30,479
And why was she going to Los Angeles?
503
00:36:30,564 --> 00:36:32,898
And where'd she come from
in the first place?
504
00:36:32,983 --> 00:36:34,775
The only thing I knew about her
was her name.
505
00:36:35,777 --> 00:36:37,361
Not that it made any difference.
506
00:36:37,445 --> 00:36:39,738
A few hours more and we'd be in Hollywood.
507
00:36:39,823 --> 00:36:42,241
I'd forget where I parked the car
and look up Sue.
508
00:36:43,118 --> 00:36:45,286
This nightmare of being a dead man
would be over.
509
00:36:46,121 --> 00:36:48,831
Who this dame was, well,
it was no business of mine.
510
00:36:48,915 --> 00:36:52,918
Where did you leave his body?
Where did you leave the owner of this car?
511
00:36:53,003 --> 00:36:54,712
You're not fooling anyone.
512
00:36:55,297 --> 00:36:58,173
This buggy belongs to a guy named Haskell.
That's not you, mister.
513
00:36:58,258 --> 00:37:01,343
You're out of your mind. That's my name.
Charles Haskell. I can prove it.
514
00:37:01,428 --> 00:37:03,512
- Here's my driver's license.
- Save yourself the trouble, mister.
515
00:37:03,597 --> 00:37:05,848
Having Haskell's wallet
only makes it worse.
516
00:37:05,932 --> 00:37:08,017
It just so happens
I rode with Charlie Haskell
517
00:37:08,101 --> 00:37:09,685
all the way from Louisiana.
518
00:37:09,769 --> 00:37:11,854
He picked me up outside of Shreveport.
519
00:37:11,938 --> 00:37:13,564
- You rode...
- You heard me.
520
00:37:14,149 --> 00:37:15,983
[Al narrating] Then it all came back to me.
521
00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:18,652
All the talk about dueling
and scars and scratches.
522
00:37:19,613 --> 00:37:21,363
There was no doubt about it.
523
00:37:21,448 --> 00:37:23,949
Vera must be the woman
Haskell had mentioned.
524
00:37:24,034 --> 00:37:25,784
She must have passed me while I slept.
525
00:37:25,869 --> 00:37:28,871
Well? Well, I'm waiting.
526
00:37:28,955 --> 00:37:30,331
My goose was cooked.
527
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:32,082
She had me.
528
00:37:32,876 --> 00:37:34,668
That Haskell guy wasn't dead yet.
529
00:37:35,253 --> 00:37:38,172
He wasn't stretched out stiff and cold
in any Arizona gully.
530
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:41,425
He was sitting right there in the car,
laughing like mad while he haunted me.
531
00:37:43,345 --> 00:37:44,303
Well?
532
00:37:44,387 --> 00:37:47,514
There was nothing I could say.
It was her move.
533
00:37:48,224 --> 00:37:50,142
Vera, whatever her name was.
534
00:37:50,226 --> 00:37:52,478
It was just my luck
picking her up on the road.
535
00:37:53,313 --> 00:37:56,148
It couldn't have been Helen
or Mary or Evelyn or Ruth.
536
00:37:57,025 --> 00:37:59,526
It had to be the very last person
I should ever have met.
537
00:38:00,820 --> 00:38:01,820
That's life.
538
00:38:02,697 --> 00:38:05,491
Whichever way you turn,
fate sticks out a foot to trip you.
539
00:38:11,081 --> 00:38:13,457
I told her everything,
but she didn't believe my story.
540
00:38:13,541 --> 00:38:15,167
I should've saved my breath.
541
00:38:15,251 --> 00:38:17,670
That's the greatest cock-and-bull story
I ever heard.
542
00:38:17,754 --> 00:38:19,380
So he fell out of his car.
543
00:38:19,464 --> 00:38:21,507
Say, who do you think
you're talking to, a hick?
544
00:38:21,591 --> 00:38:23,592
Listen, mister. I've been around.
545
00:38:23,677 --> 00:38:27,054
And I know a wrong guy when I see one.
What'd you do, kiss him with a wrench?
546
00:38:27,138 --> 00:38:29,264
Now wait a minute.
What I told you was true.
547
00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:30,891
You see, that's why I had to do it.
548
00:38:30,976 --> 00:38:33,352
You think I killed him.
Well, the cops would've thought so too.
549
00:38:33,436 --> 00:38:35,187
Yeah, well maybe they still think so.
550
00:38:36,106 --> 00:38:38,482
What makes you so sure
I'll shut up about this?
551
00:38:38,566 --> 00:38:41,318
Vera, I'm innocent.
Give me a break, will you?
552
00:38:42,696 --> 00:38:44,488
It won't do me any good
having you pinched.
553
00:38:44,572 --> 00:38:46,115
The cops are no friends of mine.
554
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:49,076
Now, if there was a reward...
But there isn't.
555
00:38:49,703 --> 00:38:51,912
- Thanks.
- Don't thank me yet.
556
00:38:51,997 --> 00:38:55,332
I'm not through with you by a long shot.
Let's see that roll.
557
00:39:02,090 --> 00:39:03,674
Is that all Haskell had?
558
00:39:03,758 --> 00:39:05,509
- Isn't it enough?
- No, I thought he had more.
559
00:39:05,593 --> 00:39:07,845
Not that I know of. You can search me
if you think I'm holding out on you.
560
00:39:07,929 --> 00:39:09,596
Well, maybe I will at that.
561
00:39:09,681 --> 00:39:11,807
He told me he was gonna bet $3,000
562
00:39:11,891 --> 00:39:14,560
on a horse named Paradisiacal
on Wednesday at Santa Anita.
563
00:39:14,644 --> 00:39:16,979
- He was stringing you along. He meant 300.
- Maybe.
564
00:39:17,063 --> 00:39:20,357
Sure. Three bucks, 300.
He was a piece of cheese, a big blowhard.
565
00:39:20,442 --> 00:39:23,277
Listen, mister. Don't try and tell me
anything about Charlie Haskell.
566
00:39:23,361 --> 00:39:25,279
Remember, I knew him better than you did.
567
00:39:25,363 --> 00:39:28,073
Okay, then you knew he was a four-flusher.
That explains the three-grand bet.
568
00:39:28,158 --> 00:39:30,576
I'm not so sure
he didn't have that three grand.
569
00:39:30,660 --> 00:39:34,121
Why should I believe you?
You got all the earmarks of a cheap crook.
570
00:39:34,205 --> 00:39:35,622
- Now, wait a minute.
- Shut up.
571
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:37,207
You're a cheap crook and you killed him.
572
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:39,418
For two cents,
I'd change my mind and turn you in.
573
00:39:39,502 --> 00:39:40,794
I don't like you!
574
00:39:40,879 --> 00:39:43,338
- All right, all right. Don't get sore.
- I'm not getting sore.
575
00:39:43,423 --> 00:39:45,507
But just remember who's boss around here.
576
00:39:45,592 --> 00:39:47,134
If you shut up
and don't give me any arguments,
577
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:48,677
you'll have nothing to worry about.
578
00:39:48,762 --> 00:39:50,512
But if you act wise, well, mister,
579
00:39:50,597 --> 00:39:53,182
you'll pop into jail so fast
it'll give you the bends.
580
00:39:53,266 --> 00:39:55,059
- I'm not arguing.
- Well, see that you don't.
581
00:39:55,143 --> 00:39:56,477
You know, as crooked as you look,
582
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:59,605
I'd hate to see a fella as young as you
wind up sniffing that perfume
583
00:39:59,689 --> 00:40:01,482
that Arizona hands out free to murderers.
584
00:40:01,566 --> 00:40:03,233
- I'm not a murderer.
- Of course you're not.
585
00:40:03,318 --> 00:40:04,693
Haskell knocked his own head off.
586
00:40:04,778 --> 00:40:06,278
He fell. That's how it happened,
just like I told you.
587
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:08,530
Sure, and then he made you a present
of his belongings.
588
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:10,324
- I explained why...
- Oh, skip it.
589
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:13,118
Doesn't make a difference one way
or another. I'm not a mourner.
590
00:40:13,203 --> 00:40:15,412
I liked Haskell even less than I like you.
591
00:40:15,955 --> 00:40:17,372
Yeah, I saw what you did to him.
592
00:40:17,457 --> 00:40:19,541
- What do you mean?
- Those scratches on his wrists.
593
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:20,959
Sure, I scratched him.
594
00:40:21,961 --> 00:40:23,128
I'll say you did.
595
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:26,673
So your idea was
to drive the car a little way,
596
00:40:26,758 --> 00:40:28,967
maybe into San Bernardino,
and then leave it.
597
00:40:29,052 --> 00:40:30,385
You weren't gonna sell it?
598
00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:33,597
Sell it? You think I'm crazy?
Somebody else's car?
599
00:40:33,681 --> 00:40:36,266
All I wanna do is leave it somewhere
and forget I ever saw it.
600
00:40:36,351 --> 00:40:39,269
Not only don't you have any scruples,
you don't have any brains.
601
00:40:39,354 --> 00:40:42,022
- I don't get you.
- Maybe it's a good thing you met me.
602
00:40:42,107 --> 00:40:44,983
You would of got yourself caught, sure.
Why, you dope.
603
00:40:45,068 --> 00:40:48,362
Don't you know a deserted automobile
always rates an investigation?
604
00:40:48,696 --> 00:40:49,863
Huh?
605
00:40:49,948 --> 00:40:52,783
Look. The cops find a car.
Then they get curious.
606
00:40:52,867 --> 00:40:54,493
They wonder where the owner is.
607
00:40:54,577 --> 00:40:57,996
So, all right, they don't trace Haskell.
They trace you.
608
00:40:58,206 --> 00:40:59,790
I never thought of that.
609
00:40:59,874 --> 00:41:02,626
The only safe way to get rid of the car
is to sell it to a dealer,
610
00:41:02,710 --> 00:41:04,253
get it registered under a new name.
611
00:41:04,754 --> 00:41:06,004
Say, stop at the next store.
612
00:41:06,089 --> 00:41:08,882
I wanna get a bottle and do some shopping
before we hit LA.
613
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:12,219
Okay. Soon as we find a place,
I'll drop you off and pick you up later.
614
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:14,429
Nothin' doin'. You're coming in too.
615
00:41:14,514 --> 00:41:17,349
From now on,
you and I are like the Siamese twins.
616
00:41:17,433 --> 00:41:19,434
Have it your way,
but I don't get the point.
617
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:21,687
The point is I don't want you to get lost.
618
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:23,397
I'm not gonna beat it,
if that's what you're afraid of.
619
00:41:23,481 --> 00:41:24,648
I'll say you're not.
620
00:41:24,732 --> 00:41:27,568
Well, I'm gonna see that you sell this car
so you don't get caught.
621
00:41:27,652 --> 00:41:31,446
Thanks. Of course, your interest
wouldn't be financial, would it?
622
00:41:31,531 --> 00:41:33,699
You wouldn't want
a small percentage of the profits?
623
00:41:34,284 --> 00:41:37,202
Well, now that you insist,
how can I refuse?
624
00:41:37,287 --> 00:41:38,912
A hundred percent'll do.
625
00:41:38,997 --> 00:41:40,873
Fine. I'm relieved.
626
00:41:40,957 --> 00:41:43,208
I thought for a moment
you were gonna take it all.
627
00:41:43,293 --> 00:41:44,710
I don't want to be a hog.
628
00:41:46,588 --> 00:41:48,672
[Al narrating] A few hours later,
we were in Hollywood.
629
00:41:49,090 --> 00:41:51,466
I was recognizing places
Sue had written about.
630
00:41:52,051 --> 00:41:55,012
It struck me that,
far from being at the end of the trip,
631
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:58,098
there was a greater distance between Sue
and me than when I started out.
632
00:41:59,434 --> 00:42:02,060
Vera wasn't kidding
with that Siamese twins crack.
633
00:42:02,687 --> 00:42:06,106
She rented a little apartment
as Mrs. Charles Haskell.
634
00:42:07,025 --> 00:42:10,110
When I objected to this, she explained
that it was on account of the car.
635
00:42:10,612 --> 00:42:12,154
A dealer might think something was funny
636
00:42:12,238 --> 00:42:14,531
if he called and found
we were using different names.
637
00:42:19,704 --> 00:42:21,538
- Home, sweet home.
- Yeah.
638
00:42:22,457 --> 00:42:23,498
Not bad, either.
639
00:42:31,466 --> 00:42:33,842
In case there's any doubt in your mind,
I'll take the bedroom.
640
00:42:34,302 --> 00:42:35,177
Yeah.
641
00:42:36,471 --> 00:42:37,846
Sure is stuffy in here.
642
00:42:45,980 --> 00:42:47,689
- Keep the window shut.
- Okay.
643
00:42:50,026 --> 00:42:53,487
The old crow downstairs said
there's a folding bed behind this door.
644
00:42:59,535 --> 00:43:00,702
You know how to work it?
645
00:43:04,457 --> 00:43:05,540
I invented it.
646
00:43:09,504 --> 00:43:11,630
- Some joint.
- One can't have everything.
647
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,387
I'm first in the bathtub.
648
00:43:19,180 --> 00:43:22,140
I don't know why,
but I figured you would be.
649
00:43:31,985 --> 00:43:35,570
Boy, oh, boy. [sighs]
It sure feels good to be clean again.
650
00:43:36,948 --> 00:43:38,407
I must be ten pounds lighter.
651
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:40,450
You must be.
652
00:43:40,535 --> 00:43:42,077
[saxophone playing]
653
00:43:42,161 --> 00:43:45,372
Well, hitchin' rides isn't exactly the way
you keep your schoolgirl complexion.
654
00:43:49,585 --> 00:43:51,712
I wish that guy with the sax
would give up.
655
00:43:53,089 --> 00:43:54,423
It gets on my nerves.
656
00:43:56,509 --> 00:43:57,509
Forget it.
657
00:44:00,138 --> 00:44:01,179
Have a drink.
658
00:44:02,390 --> 00:44:04,141
Aren't you afraid
I'm gonna take you up on it?
659
00:44:06,269 --> 00:44:08,562
If I didn't wanna give you a drink,
I wouldn't have offered it.
660
00:44:09,731 --> 00:44:12,983
Why be a sorehead, Roberts?
You got yourself into this thing.
661
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:15,902
You should be grateful
I'm not turning you in.
662
00:44:16,904 --> 00:44:19,114
Why, if I wasn't regular,
you'd be in the pen this minute
663
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:22,284
being photographed, fingerprinted,
and being pushed around by the cops.
664
00:44:23,077 --> 00:44:25,620
So cheer up. Get rid of that long puss.
665
00:44:27,874 --> 00:44:29,666
Or is your conscience bothering you?
666
00:44:34,672 --> 00:44:35,505
No.
667
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:37,382
It isn't.
668
00:44:37,467 --> 00:44:39,468
Swell. That's the spirit.
669
00:44:41,012 --> 00:44:43,180
He's dead,
and no moaning around will bring him back.
670
00:44:46,684 --> 00:44:50,312
Anyway, I never could understand this worrying
about something that's over and done with.
671
00:44:50,396 --> 00:44:52,439
Now look, Vera.
For the last time, I didn't kill him.
672
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:53,982
Haskell was a sick man.
673
00:44:54,067 --> 00:44:56,109
Maybe he was dead before he fell
out of the car. I don't know.
674
00:44:56,194 --> 00:44:58,403
Sure, sure. He died of old age.
675
00:44:59,364 --> 00:45:00,364
All right.
676
00:45:01,324 --> 00:45:02,824
So if it'll make you sociable...
677
00:45:04,577 --> 00:45:05,827
you didn't kill him.
678
00:45:16,464 --> 00:45:17,297
Thanks.
679
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:31,186
- We're outta liquor, Roberts.
- Yeah.
680
00:45:32,313 --> 00:45:35,440
Too bad.
I felt like getting tight tonight.
681
00:45:35,525 --> 00:45:37,567
Well, I think you succeeded.
682
00:45:37,652 --> 00:45:40,737
- Am I tight?
- As a prima donna's corset.
683
00:45:40,822 --> 00:45:42,197
- That's good.
- [glass clatters]
684
00:45:42,281 --> 00:45:44,074
I wanted to get tight.
685
00:45:44,158 --> 00:45:46,785
Why? What have you got to get tight about?
686
00:45:46,869 --> 00:45:49,246
Oh, I don't know. A few things.
687
00:45:50,123 --> 00:45:50,956
[Al] Huh.
688
00:45:52,583 --> 00:45:54,042
You should have my worries.
689
00:45:54,127 --> 00:45:56,670
If I had your troubles, I'd stay sober.
690
00:45:56,754 --> 00:45:58,380
And I've got the key to that door.
691
00:46:01,926 --> 00:46:04,678
Yeah. Maybe you're right.
692
00:46:04,762 --> 00:46:06,388
I'm always right.
693
00:46:07,723 --> 00:46:10,183
You know, I don't like your attitude,
Roberts.
694
00:46:10,268 --> 00:46:12,018
Well, there's a lot of things I don't like.
695
00:46:13,479 --> 00:46:14,813
Say...
696
00:46:17,191 --> 00:46:19,276
But life's like a ball game.
697
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,111
You got to take a swing
at whatever comes along
698
00:46:21,195 --> 00:46:23,613
before you wake up
and find it's the ninth inning.
699
00:46:24,532 --> 00:46:25,782
Bet you read that somewhere.
700
00:46:25,867 --> 00:46:29,703
That's the trouble with you, Roberts.
All you do is bellyache.
701
00:46:30,788 --> 00:46:35,500
You could have taken it easy and,
well, try and make the best of things.
702
00:46:35,585 --> 00:46:38,378
But maybe that's what's wrong
with the whole world.
703
00:46:38,463 --> 00:46:40,297
Get the professor.
704
00:46:40,381 --> 00:46:43,133
People knock themselves out
trying to buck fate.
705
00:46:43,217 --> 00:46:46,386
Now take you, for instance.
You're lucky to be alive.
706
00:46:46,471 --> 00:46:49,055
Why, suppose Haskell had pulled open
your door?
707
00:46:49,140 --> 00:46:51,850
You'd be playing a harp now.
Think of that.
708
00:46:53,603 --> 00:46:56,855
You think of it. I'm tired of thinking.
709
00:46:56,939 --> 00:46:59,816
There's plenty of people dying this minute
710
00:46:59,901 --> 00:47:02,402
that would give anything
to trade places with you.
711
00:47:04,363 --> 00:47:05,989
I know what I'm talking about.
712
00:47:07,033 --> 00:47:10,744
I'm not so sure.
At least they know they're done for.
713
00:47:10,828 --> 00:47:13,580
They don't just sweat blood
wondering if they are.
714
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:16,750
Your philosophy stinks, pal.
715
00:47:18,002 --> 00:47:21,796
We all know we're gonna kick off someday.
It's only a question of when.
716
00:47:23,591 --> 00:47:26,551
But what got us on this subject anyway?
717
00:47:26,636 --> 00:47:28,553
We'll be discussing politics next.
718
00:47:29,388 --> 00:47:30,472
Yeah.
719
00:47:32,058 --> 00:47:33,433
Where'd you hide the butts?
720
00:47:34,310 --> 00:47:35,936
On the table, sucker.
721
00:47:43,611 --> 00:47:47,113
[Al narrating] We bored each other with
conversation for a couple of hours longer.
722
00:47:47,198 --> 00:47:50,408
Every five minutes, one of us was wishing
we had another bottle or a radio
723
00:47:50,493 --> 00:47:52,118
or something to read.
724
00:47:53,538 --> 00:47:55,247
Then finally we ran out of chat.
725
00:47:56,207 --> 00:47:57,499
I know it's only eleven o'clock,
726
00:47:57,583 --> 00:48:00,085
but I want to get up early
and make the rounds to the used car lots.
727
00:48:00,169 --> 00:48:03,088
No hurry about that.
We got all the time in the world.
728
00:48:03,172 --> 00:48:05,257
Maybe you have, but if you think
I want to stay cooped up in this place
729
00:48:05,341 --> 00:48:06,925
any longer than I have to, you're batty.
730
00:48:07,009 --> 00:48:10,262
It's not a bad place. Pay plenty
for diggings like this in New York.
731
00:48:10,346 --> 00:48:12,347
I wouldn't like it if it was the Ritz.
732
00:48:12,431 --> 00:48:14,849
[coughs]
733
00:48:16,602 --> 00:48:18,144
Rotten liquor. [coughs]
734
00:48:18,229 --> 00:48:20,981
You got a mean cough.
Ought to do something about it.
735
00:48:21,065 --> 00:48:22,315
I'll be all right.
736
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,817
That's what Camille said.
737
00:48:24,527 --> 00:48:25,652
Who?
738
00:48:25,736 --> 00:48:27,195
Nobody you know.
739
00:48:30,908 --> 00:48:33,368
- Wasn't that the dame that died of consumption?
- Yeah.
740
00:48:34,704 --> 00:48:37,289
Wouldn't it be a break for you
if I did kick off.
741
00:48:37,373 --> 00:48:40,333
You'd be free
with all Haskell's dough and car.
742
00:48:40,418 --> 00:48:42,043
I don't want to see anybody die.
743
00:48:43,212 --> 00:48:44,921
Not even me?
744
00:48:45,006 --> 00:48:48,008
Especially not you. One person died on me.
745
00:48:48,092 --> 00:48:50,510
If you did, well, that's all I need.
746
00:48:52,388 --> 00:48:54,222
You don't like me, do you, Roberts?
747
00:48:55,933 --> 00:48:56,975
Like you?
748
00:48:58,352 --> 00:48:59,769
I love you.
749
00:49:01,022 --> 00:49:02,981
My favorite sport is being kept prisoner.
750
00:49:04,025 --> 00:49:07,485
After we sell the car, you can go to blazes
for all I care, but not until then.
751
00:49:14,910 --> 00:49:16,536
I'm going to bed.
752
00:49:24,962 --> 00:49:26,463
Good night, Roberts.
753
00:49:26,547 --> 00:49:29,549
Don't try and sneak away during the night.
All the doors are locked.
754
00:49:29,634 --> 00:49:33,136
Anyway, if I find you gone in the morning,
I'll notify the police.
755
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:35,889
- They'll pick you up.
- Don't worry. I know when I'm in a spot.
756
00:49:36,974 --> 00:49:40,935
Well, good night. I hope that portable
rack isn't too uncomfortable for you.
757
00:49:41,020 --> 00:49:43,146
Don't lose any sleep over it,
will you, Vera?
758
00:49:44,940 --> 00:49:47,025
[key scratching lock]
759
00:50:20,601 --> 00:50:21,935
[softly] CRestview...
760
00:50:23,813 --> 00:50:29,651
6... 5... 7,
761
00:50:29,735 --> 00:50:32,654
[whispers] 2... 3.
762
00:50:33,948 --> 00:50:35,073
Hello?
763
00:50:36,117 --> 00:50:37,117
Hello!
764
00:50:38,327 --> 00:50:39,411
Hello?
765
00:50:40,579 --> 00:50:41,746
Hello?
766
00:50:48,295 --> 00:50:51,881
No. Not yet, darling.
767
00:50:53,134 --> 00:50:54,509
Tomorrow.
768
00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:56,928
Maybe.
769
00:51:00,391 --> 00:51:01,891
[Al narrating] if this were fiction,
770
00:51:01,976 --> 00:51:05,562
I would fall in love with her, marry her,
and make a respectable woman of her,
771
00:51:05,646 --> 00:51:09,816
or else she'd make some supreme,
class-A sacrifice for me and die.
772
00:51:11,152 --> 00:51:13,361
Sue and I would ball a little
over her grave
773
00:51:13,446 --> 00:51:16,448
and make some crack about
"there's good in all of us."
774
00:51:16,532 --> 00:51:20,160
But Vera, unfortunately,
was just as rotten in the morning
775
00:51:20,244 --> 00:51:21,870
as she'd been the night before.
776
00:51:21,954 --> 00:51:23,455
[knocking]
777
00:51:23,539 --> 00:51:25,415
All right, all right, I'm coming.
778
00:51:25,499 --> 00:51:27,459
[Al] Look, Vera, it's almost noon.
779
00:51:29,003 --> 00:51:31,254
So what?
The dealers will be there all day.
780
00:51:31,338 --> 00:51:34,007
They'll be there all year too, but it
doesn't mean I'm gonna wait that long.
781
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:36,551
Shut up.
You're making noises like a husband.
782
00:51:39,180 --> 00:51:42,932
- Well, do I rate a whistle?
- You sure do, but let's go.
783
00:51:43,017 --> 00:51:46,519
Let's go, let's go. I spend 85 bucks
and two hours preparing bait,
784
00:51:46,604 --> 00:51:48,188
and all you can say is "Let's go."
785
00:51:48,272 --> 00:51:51,274
[sighs] Come on.
786
00:51:56,071 --> 00:51:58,698
We passed a few used car lots
last night down this way.
787
00:51:58,783 --> 00:52:00,784
What do you think
we can get for this heap?
788
00:52:00,868 --> 00:52:04,496
I don't know. Plenty.
You just let me handle everything.
789
00:52:04,580 --> 00:52:06,206
You think we can get $2,000?
790
00:52:06,290 --> 00:52:07,707
I don't know. But don't worry.
791
00:52:07,792 --> 00:52:10,126
I'll squeeze as much
out of this guy as I can.
792
00:52:10,211 --> 00:52:13,296
If I let it go cheap without a fight,
he might think we've stolen the car.
793
00:52:13,380 --> 00:52:17,675
And listen, don't make any slips
and call me Roberts. That'll cook us.
794
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,636
I don't need you to tell me that.
795
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:21,930
You better just sit by
and keep your mouth closed.
796
00:52:22,014 --> 00:52:24,015
Remember, we're both in the soup
if anything happens.
797
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:25,642
Forget it and drive.
798
00:52:25,726 --> 00:52:28,144
You're my wife... Vera Haskell.
799
00:52:28,229 --> 00:52:32,315
Look, after the deal's closed, let's go
back to that place on Hollywood Boulevard
800
00:52:32,399 --> 00:52:33,942
where I saw the fur jacket.
801
00:52:34,026 --> 00:52:35,235
I want to buy it.
802
00:52:35,319 --> 00:52:37,987
After the deal's closed,
I'm saying good-bye to you.
803
00:52:38,072 --> 00:52:41,491
That's right. I forgot.
I guess I'm getting kind of used to you.
804
00:52:42,743 --> 00:52:45,036
Well, that's a habit
you can start breaking.
805
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,455
Let's try this place
in the middle of the block.
806
00:52:53,671 --> 00:52:55,129
Good afternoon. What can I do for you?
807
00:52:55,214 --> 00:52:58,508
- We're interested in selling a car.
- If the price is right.
808
00:53:01,387 --> 00:53:05,473
Well, if it's in good mechanical condition,
it should blue book for about 1,600.
809
00:53:06,475 --> 00:53:07,892
Tony, take a look at this motor.
810
00:53:07,977 --> 00:53:10,228
1,600. Are you kidding?
811
00:53:14,108 --> 00:53:15,900
[car hood opening]
812
00:53:21,448 --> 00:53:23,283
Well, maybe 1,850.
813
00:53:23,367 --> 00:53:26,744
Before I let it go for 1,850, I'll wreck it
and collect the insurance first.
814
00:53:26,829 --> 00:53:27,912
[coughs]
815
00:53:31,375 --> 00:53:33,376
Lady, this motor's seen a lot of driving.
816
00:53:39,925 --> 00:53:43,219
[Al narrating] While the mechanic
inspected the car, we haggled.
817
00:53:43,721 --> 00:53:46,973
At last, when we were all worn out,
we hit a compromise...
818
00:53:47,057 --> 00:53:48,600
his price.
819
00:53:51,896 --> 00:53:53,104
Okay, it's a deal.
820
00:53:53,188 --> 00:53:56,524
- Come in, we'll sign the papers.
- I have the ownership papers here with me.
821
00:53:56,609 --> 00:53:59,319
Look, Vera, in the meantime,
will you clean out the dash compartment?
822
00:53:59,403 --> 00:54:02,196
- There may be some stuff in it.
- All right, darling.
823
00:54:04,325 --> 00:54:06,534
1,850 bucks.
824
00:54:06,619 --> 00:54:08,244
That dirty cr...
825
00:54:15,544 --> 00:54:17,420
- Mm, New York, huh?
- Yeah.
826
00:54:17,504 --> 00:54:20,757
- But you bought the car in Miami?
- Yeah.
827
00:54:20,841 --> 00:54:22,467
Well, now, let's see about the insurance.
828
00:54:22,551 --> 00:54:24,552
We can either have it transferred
or canceled.
829
00:54:24,637 --> 00:54:27,263
Uh, what kind of insurance do you have,
Mr. Haskell?
830
00:54:28,432 --> 00:54:31,559
Well, uh, aren't all the papers there?
831
00:54:33,729 --> 00:54:37,857
I don't see any. Surely you know what type
of insurance you carry on the car.
832
00:54:37,942 --> 00:54:39,442
The name of the company?
833
00:54:40,277 --> 00:54:41,486
Yeah, but, uh...
834
00:54:41,570 --> 00:54:43,321
Well, if you'll just tell me
the name of the company,
835
00:54:43,405 --> 00:54:45,114
I'd be very glad to take care
of all the details.
836
00:54:45,199 --> 00:54:46,324
Well...
837
00:54:46,408 --> 00:54:48,409
- Did you sign the papers yet?
- Not yet.
838
00:54:48,494 --> 00:54:50,536
Well, don't. We're not selling the car.
839
00:54:50,621 --> 00:54:52,538
- Well, wait a minute, Mrs. Haskell...
- Come on, darling.
840
00:54:52,623 --> 00:54:55,917
- What's the matter? Change your mind?
- Yes. I'm sorry. I guess I have.
841
00:54:56,001 --> 00:54:57,377
- But, Vera...
- Let's go.
842
00:55:03,384 --> 00:55:06,636
You got me out of a tight spot, Vera,
but I still don't understand all this.
843
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:09,722
You will in a minute.
I almost threw away a gold mine.
844
00:55:09,807 --> 00:55:13,726
1,850 isn't to be sneezed at. The car
doesn't book for as much as I thought.
845
00:55:13,811 --> 00:55:15,478
We're not selling the car.
846
00:55:15,562 --> 00:55:17,438
You want to keep it?
Now wait a minute, Vera.
847
00:55:17,523 --> 00:55:20,608
You said yourself I wouldn't be safe
until the car was in someone else's name.
848
00:55:20,693 --> 00:55:22,360
I'd like to be free of this mess
when I go.
849
00:55:22,444 --> 00:55:24,612
That's just it, Roberts. You're not going.
850
00:55:25,531 --> 00:55:27,365
- [sighs]
- There's a drive-in at the next corner.
851
00:55:27,449 --> 00:55:30,201
Pull in there and we'll get a bite to eat
and I'll explain.
852
00:55:30,285 --> 00:55:32,453
What is this,
another one of your brilliant ideas?
853
00:55:38,794 --> 00:55:41,671
- Hello. May I take your order?
- Make mine a ham sandwich and coffee.
854
00:55:41,755 --> 00:55:44,340
- And for you, sir?
- Oh, I don't care. The same.
855
00:55:46,510 --> 00:55:47,719
Thank you.
856
00:55:52,224 --> 00:55:55,226
Get this, Vera,
I've been pretty patient so far.
857
00:55:55,310 --> 00:55:57,311
I've done everything you asked me to do,
but no more.
858
00:55:57,396 --> 00:55:59,564
- Shut up.
- You've taken Haskell's money.
859
00:55:59,648 --> 00:56:01,524
And you can have the dough we get
from selling the car,
860
00:56:01,608 --> 00:56:03,192
but you're not gonna keep me a prisoner.
861
00:56:03,277 --> 00:56:05,069
It's a good thing I bought the paper.
Look at that.
862
00:56:05,154 --> 00:56:07,030
- Vera, I'm in no mood...
- Read that.
863
00:56:17,708 --> 00:56:19,292
- No.
- Yes.
864
00:56:19,376 --> 00:56:20,960
- No, I won't do it.
- Yes, you will.
865
00:56:21,045 --> 00:56:23,254
You think I'm crazy.
It's impossible, I tell ya.
866
00:56:24,131 --> 00:56:25,173
Excuse me.
867
00:56:30,637 --> 00:56:32,138
Blow the horn when you're through.
868
00:56:35,350 --> 00:56:38,561
No one could possibly get away with an act
like that. Be wise to me in a minute.
869
00:56:38,645 --> 00:56:39,812
Don't be yellow.
870
00:56:39,897 --> 00:56:42,690
You look enough like him.
The same coloring and the same build.
871
00:56:42,775 --> 00:56:44,358
See how his clothes fit ya?
872
00:56:44,443 --> 00:56:46,235
No kidding. You almost
had me fooled for a while.
873
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:47,528
Oh, grow up, Vera.
874
00:56:47,613 --> 00:56:50,406
Don't you think a father knows his own
son? There must be other relatives.
875
00:56:50,491 --> 00:56:53,326
The father won't have to know ya.
We'll wait till he gives up the ghost.
876
00:56:53,410 --> 00:56:55,411
He's an old geezer
and he won't pull through.
877
00:56:55,496 --> 00:56:59,373
And as far as the relatives are concerned,
they haven't seen you in 15 or 20 years.
878
00:57:00,876 --> 00:57:02,585
- Eat.
- I'm not hungry.
879
00:57:03,253 --> 00:57:06,130
- And I won't do it.
- It's not as tough as it sounds.
880
00:57:06,215 --> 00:57:08,049
Remember, you've got
all kinds of identification...
881
00:57:08,133 --> 00:57:09,133
his car, letters, license...
882
00:57:09,218 --> 00:57:11,761
I could never get away with it.
It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
883
00:57:11,845 --> 00:57:13,888
The old boy has scads of dough.
884
00:57:13,972 --> 00:57:17,141
Look in the paper there. Personal fortune
assessed at over 15 million.
885
00:57:17,226 --> 00:57:18,684
He'll leave plenty, I tell ya.
886
00:57:18,769 --> 00:57:20,937
Maybe he cut off his son.
How do we know?
887
00:57:21,021 --> 00:57:23,606
It's out, Vera.
I won't have anything to do with it.
888
00:57:24,817 --> 00:57:27,068
I think you will.
889
00:57:27,152 --> 00:57:30,696
Look, Vera, I'll do anything
within reason, but not that.
890
00:57:30,781 --> 00:57:32,698
So forget it or find yourself another stooge.
891
00:57:32,783 --> 00:57:34,033
You sap!
892
00:57:34,785 --> 00:57:36,911
You'll be fixed for the rest of your life
as Charlie Haskell.
893
00:57:36,995 --> 00:57:40,081
You can take your inheritance and go away.
No more worrying about the rent.
894
00:57:40,165 --> 00:57:42,291
No sweating, scheming, wondering
where your next meal's coming from!
895
00:57:42,376 --> 00:57:43,417
Think about that, Roberts!
896
00:57:43,502 --> 00:57:46,295
Vera, please. You're talking too loud.
897
00:57:46,713 --> 00:57:49,298
On this I'm splitting 50-50 with you.
Sure, why not?
898
00:57:49,383 --> 00:57:51,050
We're both alike.
Both born in the same gutter.
899
00:57:51,135 --> 00:57:52,301
Now take it easy, Vera.
900
00:57:52,386 --> 00:57:54,637
There's people around here.
You don't know what you're talking...
901
00:57:55,806 --> 00:57:59,684
We'll wait till we read that old man
Haskell's dead. Then you show up.
902
00:57:59,768 --> 00:58:02,061
Like you read in New York
that he was sick.
903
00:58:02,146 --> 00:58:04,772
No! Suppose he doesn't die?
904
00:58:04,857 --> 00:58:06,941
He will. I know he will.
Something tells me.
905
00:58:09,611 --> 00:58:12,405
[Al narrating] But as much as I insisted
I would have no part of her scheme,
906
00:58:12,489 --> 00:58:14,448
Vera was taking it for granted I would.
907
00:58:16,535 --> 00:58:19,954
Neither of us had our mind on the cards
as we played that night.
908
00:58:20,038 --> 00:58:23,207
I knew we were just trying to kill time
between newspaper editions.
909
00:58:24,042 --> 00:58:26,002
This was a deathwatch for Vera.
910
00:58:27,129 --> 00:58:28,713
Maybe it was for me too.
911
00:58:28,797 --> 00:58:32,383
Don't you realize if I'm caught they'll want
to know where I got the car and stuff?
912
00:58:32,467 --> 00:58:35,595
- Then they'll have me on a murder charge.
- If you're smart, you won't get caught.
913
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:37,054
I knock with seven.
914
00:58:37,139 --> 00:58:39,348
And if I'm caught,
don't you realize you'll be out too?
915
00:58:39,808 --> 00:58:42,935
Eighteen points. That gives me 30.
916
00:58:44,188 --> 00:58:45,438
How will I be out?
917
00:58:45,522 --> 00:58:47,982
You'll be out $1,850 we would have gotten
on the car.
918
00:58:48,066 --> 00:58:49,483
Really, Vera, you'd be an awful chump
919
00:58:49,568 --> 00:58:51,569
if you threw away all that dough
on a dizzy long shot.
920
00:58:51,653 --> 00:58:52,904
Let me sell the bus tomorrow.
921
00:58:52,988 --> 00:58:54,655
With the money it'll bring
and what you've already got,
922
00:58:54,740 --> 00:58:56,449
a clever kid like you
can run it up in no time.
923
00:58:56,533 --> 00:58:59,035
- Then we'd both be in the clear.
- I'll be in the clear anyway.
924
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:00,912
Maybe. Maybe.
925
00:59:00,996 --> 00:59:02,580
But if I got caught...
926
00:59:03,540 --> 00:59:06,083
- I'd get good and sore at you, you know.
- You mean you'd squeal?
927
00:59:06,168 --> 00:59:08,377
- Well, no, not squeal exactly...
- Never mind what you meant!
928
00:59:11,048 --> 00:59:14,425
Even if you did tell the cops
I was in on it with you,
929
00:59:14,509 --> 00:59:15,885
what could they do to me?
930
00:59:16,929 --> 00:59:19,347
They might give me the same medicine
they gave you.
931
00:59:19,431 --> 00:59:21,140
- Yeah.
- A rope.
932
00:59:23,644 --> 00:59:25,770
But I'm on my way anyhow.
933
00:59:27,731 --> 00:59:29,732
All they'll be doing will be rushing it.
934
00:59:30,359 --> 00:59:32,818
All right. But think of the 1,850 you'd lose.
935
00:59:32,903 --> 00:59:35,655
You'd kick yourself along the block
if you let that get away from you.
936
00:59:35,739 --> 00:59:38,658
I'll take the chance. Want another drink?
937
00:59:38,742 --> 00:59:41,744
You're being a goon. That's the way
people wind up behind the eight ball.
938
00:59:41,828 --> 00:59:44,330
Once they get a few dollars,
they become greedy and want more.
939
00:59:44,414 --> 00:59:45,706
My, my.
940
00:59:45,791 --> 00:59:46,791
- Caesar.
- Who?
941
00:59:46,875 --> 00:59:49,585
You know, that Roman general?
He got his for being greedy.
942
00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:52,838
He wasn't satisfied.
So the final windup was he took the count.
943
00:59:52,923 --> 00:59:55,299
A couple of days ago you didn't have a dime.
944
00:59:55,384 --> 00:59:58,219
Why, you were so broke
you couldn't pay cash for a postage stamp.
945
00:59:58,303 --> 01:00:01,347
Now you've got almost $700,
with 1,850 in the offing.
946
01:00:01,431 --> 01:00:03,099
Take my advice. Don't try for more.
947
01:00:03,183 --> 01:00:05,768
I'm tired of this game.
Let's have some blackjack.
948
01:00:05,852 --> 01:00:06,686
Play solitaire.
949
01:00:06,770 --> 01:00:09,313
- I will, if that's the way you feel about it.
- That's the way I feel about it.
950
01:00:09,398 --> 01:00:11,607
Getting sore and throwing things
won't help much, Roberts.
951
01:00:11,692 --> 01:00:15,111
I'm merely doing you a favor. I help you out of
a jam by keepin' my mouth shut.
952
01:00:15,195 --> 01:00:18,072
I show you how to make some soft money,
and what thanks do I get?
953
01:00:18,156 --> 01:00:19,156
- Thanks?
- Sure.
954
01:00:19,241 --> 01:00:21,659
Or would you rather I called the cops and told
them you killed a man and stole his money?
955
01:00:21,743 --> 01:00:22,827
- I didn't kill anybody.
- Yes, you did.
956
01:00:22,911 --> 01:00:25,705
- No, I didn't. You know I didn't.
- All right, then.
957
01:00:28,542 --> 01:00:30,251
Suppose I call the cops?
958
01:00:30,335 --> 01:00:32,920
If you're innocent,
what do you got to be scared of?
959
01:00:33,005 --> 01:00:36,590
Okay, call 'em, you mutt. Go ahead and call 'em.
See if I care.
960
01:00:36,675 --> 01:00:39,552
- At least they'll give me a square deal.
- You want me to call 'em?
961
01:00:39,636 --> 01:00:43,597
You heard me. But I'm warning ya.
If I'm pinched, I'll swear you were in on it.
962
01:00:43,682 --> 01:00:46,976
I'll say that you helped me.
If I'm frying, I'll get even with you.
963
01:00:47,060 --> 01:00:48,686
You wouldn't dare. You're chicken!
964
01:00:48,770 --> 01:00:52,815
Yeah? Then try it and see.
Call 'em. Yeah.
965
01:00:53,650 --> 01:00:55,067
Okay, I will.
966
01:00:57,112 --> 01:01:00,489
[dialing]
967
01:01:07,706 --> 01:01:09,915
Information.
968
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,835
I want the number
of the Hollywood police station.
969
01:01:14,713 --> 01:01:16,756
Okay, I got it. Thanks.
970
01:01:17,966 --> 01:01:19,592
[phone hook clicks]
971
01:01:19,676 --> 01:01:21,677
- [dialing]
- Wait a minute, Vera. You wouldn't do that.
972
01:01:21,762 --> 01:01:23,721
Oh, wouldn't I? Give me that
and I'll show you if I would!
973
01:01:23,805 --> 01:01:25,681
Take it easy now. Let's talk this over.
974
01:01:25,766 --> 01:01:27,558
[Al narrating]
This was early in the evening.
975
01:01:27,642 --> 01:01:32,146
And the conversation, while hectic,
was at least pitched low.
976
01:01:32,230 --> 01:01:36,776
But as the minutes passed and more obstacles
to her plan popped into my head,
977
01:01:36,860 --> 01:01:38,486
the air got blue.
978
01:01:38,570 --> 01:01:41,822
Each word coming from our lips
cracked like a whip.
979
01:01:41,907 --> 01:01:45,785
I reminded her that as Charles Haskell
I didn't even know my mother's name,
980
01:01:45,869 --> 01:01:47,578
where I'd gone to school,
981
01:01:47,662 --> 01:01:49,413
the name of my best friend,
982
01:01:49,498 --> 01:01:51,415
whether I had an Aunt Emma or not,
983
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:54,794
my religion, and if I'd ever owned a dog.
984
01:01:54,878 --> 01:01:57,463
I didn't even know
what my middle initial stood for.
985
01:01:57,547 --> 01:02:00,925
I also pointed out that the real Haskell
had a scar on his forearm.
986
01:02:01,510 --> 01:02:03,302
His people never saw that scar.
987
01:02:03,387 --> 01:02:05,596
He told me he ran away
right after putting out the kid's eye.
988
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,140
Yeah, but his father knew he was cut.
There'd have to be some kind of mark.
989
01:02:08,225 --> 01:02:10,434
So what?
990
01:02:10,519 --> 01:02:14,438
The old man's dead or will be.
I hope by tomorrow morning's papers.
991
01:02:14,523 --> 01:02:18,025
Anyway, you could cut yourself
a little, couldn't ya?
992
01:02:19,027 --> 01:02:22,321
Boy, for that kind of dough,
I'd let you cut my leg off.
993
01:02:22,406 --> 01:02:23,989
You're drunk and you're crazy mad, Vera.
994
01:02:24,074 --> 01:02:26,033
Turn me in if you want to,
but I won't get mixed up in this.
995
01:02:26,118 --> 01:02:28,160
Besides, how do we know?
Haskell was such a phony.
996
01:02:28,245 --> 01:02:30,371
Maybe he wasn't the man's son at all.
Maybe he just dreamed it up.
997
01:02:30,455 --> 01:02:35,918
Well, dreaming or not, you won't be dreaming
when the law taps you on the shoulder.
998
01:02:36,002 --> 01:02:39,588
There's a cute little gas chamber
waiting for you, Roberts.
999
01:02:39,673 --> 01:02:43,134
And I hear extradition to Arizona's a cinch.
1000
01:02:43,218 --> 01:02:45,052
Where's that phone?
1001
01:02:45,137 --> 01:02:46,512
- Vera.
- Leave me alone!
1002
01:02:46,596 --> 01:02:50,057
- Vera!
- I wanna phone, call the police.
1003
01:02:50,767 --> 01:02:54,812
I hate you, you stinker.
You leave me alone!
1004
01:02:54,896 --> 01:02:57,106
I'll let you alone when you promise to leave
the phone where it is.
1005
01:02:57,190 --> 01:02:59,150
- You're drunk. You don't know what you're doing.
- You're hurting me.
1006
01:02:59,234 --> 01:03:00,860
Will you promise?
1007
01:03:00,944 --> 01:03:02,528
All right.
1008
01:03:07,492 --> 01:03:10,327
- You hurt me.
- I'm sorry, but...
1009
01:03:10,412 --> 01:03:13,372
- And it's hot in here! Open up a window!
- It's not hot!
1010
01:03:13,457 --> 01:03:16,125
Don't tell me!
Now do you do it or do I do it?
1011
01:03:18,086 --> 01:03:19,837
You're no gentleman, see?
1012
01:03:19,921 --> 01:03:23,299
Yeah. All right, I'll open up the window.
1013
01:03:26,428 --> 01:03:27,511
Vera!
1014
01:03:31,892 --> 01:03:34,643
Vera, open the door.
Please open the door.
1015
01:03:34,728 --> 01:03:36,854
Vera, open the door.
Don't use the phone. Listen to me.
1016
01:03:37,522 --> 01:03:40,983
I don't like you, Roberts.
You're no gentleman, see?
1017
01:03:41,067 --> 01:03:45,154
You hurt my hand,
and I'm gonna get even with you.
1018
01:03:45,238 --> 01:03:48,407
If you don't open the door,
I'm gonna kick it down, Vera.
1019
01:03:48,492 --> 01:03:51,368
Vera, don't call the cops.
Listen to me, I'll do anything you say.
1020
01:03:52,287 --> 01:03:53,746
Vera, let me in!
1021
01:03:55,207 --> 01:03:56,665
I'll break the phone!
1022
01:04:14,267 --> 01:04:17,269
[grunting]
1023
01:04:22,609 --> 01:04:23,943
Vera.
1024
01:04:34,579 --> 01:04:36,539
[Al narrating] The world is full of skeptics.
1025
01:04:37,290 --> 01:04:39,667
I know. I'm one myself.
1026
01:04:40,669 --> 01:04:43,712
In the Haskell business, how many of you
would believe he fell out of the car?
1027
01:04:43,797 --> 01:04:46,173
And now, after killing Vera
without really meaning to do it,
1028
01:04:46,258 --> 01:04:48,676
how many of you would believe
it wasn't premeditated?
1029
01:04:49,719 --> 01:04:53,264
In a jury room, every last man of you
would go down shouting
1030
01:04:53,348 --> 01:04:56,058
that she had me over a barrel
and my only out was force.
1031
01:04:58,103 --> 01:04:59,728
The room was still.
1032
01:05:00,730 --> 01:05:03,691
So quiet that for a while I'd wondered
if I'd suddenly gone deaf.
1033
01:05:04,484 --> 01:05:06,235
It was pure fear, of course.
1034
01:05:06,319 --> 01:05:08,195
And I was hysterical,
1035
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:09,989
but without making a sound.
1036
01:05:11,324 --> 01:05:14,285
Vera was dead, and I was her murderer.
1037
01:05:15,370 --> 01:05:19,873
Murderer. What an awful word that is.
But I'd become one.
1038
01:05:19,958 --> 01:05:22,042
I'd better not get caught.
1039
01:05:22,127 --> 01:05:24,628
What evidence there was around the place
had to be destroyed.
1040
01:05:24,713 --> 01:05:26,505
And from the looks of things, there was plenty.
1041
01:05:26,590 --> 01:05:28,299
Looking around the room at things we'd bought
1042
01:05:28,383 --> 01:05:30,801
was like looking into the faces of
a hundred people who'd seen us together
1043
01:05:30,885 --> 01:05:32,803
and who remembered me.
1044
01:05:32,887 --> 01:05:35,306
This was the kind of testimony
I couldn't rub out.
1045
01:05:36,808 --> 01:05:38,058
No.
1046
01:05:38,143 --> 01:05:41,312
I could burn clothes and hide bottles
for the next five years.
1047
01:05:41,396 --> 01:05:42,855
There'd always be witnesses.
1048
01:05:42,939 --> 01:05:44,732
The landlady for one.
She could identify me.
1049
01:05:44,816 --> 01:05:46,233
The car dealer, the waitress in the drive-in,
1050
01:05:46,318 --> 01:05:48,819
the girl in the dress shop,
and that guy in the liquor store.
1051
01:05:48,903 --> 01:05:50,696
They could all identify me.
1052
01:05:52,032 --> 01:05:55,868
I was cooked. Done for.
I had to get out of there.
1053
01:05:57,203 --> 01:05:59,330
While once I remained beside a dead body
1054
01:05:59,414 --> 01:06:02,416
planning carefully how to avoid
being accused of killing him,
1055
01:06:02,500 --> 01:06:04,752
this time I couldn't.
1056
01:06:04,836 --> 01:06:06,503
This time I was guilty.
1057
01:06:07,422 --> 01:06:09,923
I knew it. Felt it.
1058
01:06:10,967 --> 01:06:13,218
I was like a guy suffering from shock.
1059
01:06:13,303 --> 01:06:14,970
Things were whirling around in my head.
1060
01:06:15,055 --> 01:06:17,890
I couldn't make myself think right.
1061
01:06:17,974 --> 01:06:21,435
All I could think of was the guy with
the saxophone and what he was playing.
1062
01:06:22,437 --> 01:06:24,021
It wasn't a love song anymore.
1063
01:06:24,814 --> 01:06:26,565
It was a dirge.
1064
01:07:12,028 --> 01:07:14,113
[jukebox: up-tempo band music]
1065
01:07:14,197 --> 01:07:16,615
[Al narrating]
But my problems weren't solved.
1066
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:19,493
I had to stay away from New York
for all time.
1067
01:07:20,328 --> 01:07:23,622
Because Al Roberts was listed as dead
and had to stay dead.
1068
01:07:24,332 --> 01:07:25,999
And I could never go back to Hollywood.
1069
01:07:26,835 --> 01:07:28,794
Someone might recognize me as Haskell.
1070
01:07:30,130 --> 01:07:33,048
- Then, too, there was Sue.
- [music stops]
1071
01:07:34,467 --> 01:07:37,803
I could never go to her with a thing
like this hanging over my head.
1072
01:07:39,180 --> 01:07:42,474
All I could do was pray she'd be happy.
1073
01:07:53,486 --> 01:07:57,656
I was in Bakersfield before I read
that Vera's body was discovered.
1074
01:07:57,741 --> 01:08:01,368
And that the police were looking for Haskell
in connection with his wife's murder.
1075
01:08:02,871 --> 01:08:04,413
Isn't that a laugh?
1076
01:08:05,081 --> 01:08:09,001
Haskell got me into this mess
and Haskell was getting me out of it.
1077
01:08:09,085 --> 01:08:11,170
The police were searching for a dead man.
1078
01:08:14,674 --> 01:08:16,884
I keep trying to forget what happened...
1079
01:08:18,261 --> 01:08:22,973
and wonder what my life might have been
if that car of Haskell's hadn't stopped.
1080
01:08:24,768 --> 01:08:26,935
But one thing I don't have to wonder about.
1081
01:08:28,146 --> 01:08:29,605
I know.
1082
01:08:31,107 --> 01:08:34,234
Someday a car will stop to pick me up
that I never thumbed.
1083
01:08:38,990 --> 01:08:39,865
Yes.
1084
01:08:40,742 --> 01:08:44,411
Fate... or some mysterious force
1085
01:08:44,496 --> 01:08:47,414
can put the finger on you or me
1086
01:08:47,499 --> 01:08:49,500
for no good reason at all.

Al Roberts, an unemployed piano player, hitches a ride, arriving at a roadside diner in Reno, Nevada. Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.
Al recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.
In Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.
Al realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.
Al crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.
In Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.
Back at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.
Al gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of "his wife." Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest.

- No.

Hey, you.
6
00:03:00,556 --> 00:03:03,266
- Me?
- Yeah, you. Where ya heading?
7
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,686
- East.
- Too bad.

00:03:07,563 --> 00:03:10,439

I might be able to help you out.

- Oh.
- So I gotta get my...

My partner,
he's got Lou to keep him company.
13
00:03:20,242 --> 00:03:21,909
But I ain't got nobody at all.

- West.

Yeah, sure, I know,
but where? LA?

00:03:27,416 --> 00:03:29,792
- Maybe.
- Got a cousin out in LA.

you don't have to listen to it.

never letting up.

Did you ever wanna forget anything?

00:05:07,599 --> 00:05:10,518
Did you ever wanna cut away
a piece of your memory or blot it out?

You can't, you know?
No matter how hard you try.

You can change the scenery,

but sooner or later
you'll get a whiff of perfume,

00:05:18,694 --> 00:05:21,195
or somebody will say a certain phrase
or maybe hum something.

[Al narrating] It wasn't much of a club, really.
73
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,300
You know the kind.
74

A joint where you could have a sandwich
and a few drinks,
75
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:11,055
and run interference for your girl
on the dance floor.
76
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:15,101
- [playing romantic melody]
- I fronted the piano in there every night
77
00:07:15,185 --> 00:07:17,311
from 8:00 until the place closed up,
78
00:07:17,395 --> 00:07:19,563
which usually meant 4:00 in the morning.
79
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:22,066
A good job as jobs went in those days.
80
00:07:25,487 --> 00:07:28,739
Then, too, there was Sue,
81
00:07:28,824 --> 00:07:31,784
who made working there
a little like working in heaven.
82
00:07:32,244 --> 00:07:36,372
But how we felt about each other, well,
there was nothing very unusual in that.
83
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:39,834
I was an ordinary healthy guy,
and she was an ordinary healthy girl,
84
00:07:39,918 --> 00:07:43,170
and when you add those two together,
you get an ordinary healthy romance,
85
00:07:43,255 --> 00:07:44,672
which is the old story.
86
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:49,426
Sure. But somehow
the most wonderful thing in the world.
87
00:07:49,511 --> 00:07:51,846
[continues playing, rapidly]
88
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:59,436
All in all, I was a pretty lucky guy.

Mr. Patterewsky, I presume?
It's beautiful.

You're going to make Carnegie Hall yet, Al.
91
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:20,332
Yeah. As a janitor.
92
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:22,251
I'll make my debut in the basement.
93
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:26,005
I don't blame you for being bitter,
darling, but you mustn't give up hope.
94
00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:27,798
- Why, some day...
- Yeah, some day,
95
00:08:27,883 --> 00:08:29,633
if I don't get arthritis first.
96
00:08:29,718 --> 00:08:31,385
In the meantime, let's blow this trap.

[door closes]

- Like to get something to eat, hon?
- Oh, I don't think so, Al.
100
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:56,911
I lose my appetite working in this fleabag.
101
00:08:56,995 --> 00:08:58,954
- Let's go home.
- Okay.
102
00:08:59,831 --> 00:09:02,416
I can't stand much more of that dump.
103
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:05,211
Did you see that drunk tonight
trying to paw me?
104
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:08,547
- No, what drunk?
- Does it matter what drunk?
105
00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:11,800
Say, what's the matter with you tonight, darling?
106
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:14,511
That's the third time you started
to tell me something and then stopped.
107
00:09:15,305 --> 00:09:17,806
We shouldn't have any secrets
from each other, Sue.
108
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:20,267
Next week, we're gonna make with a ring
and a license. We'll be a team.
109
00:09:20,352 --> 00:09:23,395
Yes, that's right. In the bush league.
110
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,190
- I don't get ya.
- We've been struck out.
111
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:29,276
That's a funny way to talk, darling.
112
00:09:29,361 --> 00:09:31,737
- Don't you wanna marry me?
- Al, look, I love you.
113
00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:34,198
You know I do.
And I want to marry you.
114
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:36,742
- But...?
- But not now.
115
00:09:36,826 --> 00:09:39,286
Only after we've made good.
116
00:09:39,371 --> 00:09:40,996
Sunday I'm going away.
117
00:09:41,706 --> 00:09:43,666
Oh, I know you'll think it's silly.
118
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:46,001
That's why I hesitated to tell you.
119
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:47,795
But I'm going to California.
120
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:50,297
I wanna try my luck in Hollywood.
121
00:09:50,548 --> 00:09:52,758
[Al] That's the most
stupid thing I ever heard of.
122
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:56,387
Don't you know millions of people go out there
every year and wind up polishing cuspidors?
123
00:09:56,471 --> 00:09:57,638
I thought you had better sense.
124
00:09:57,722 --> 00:09:59,598
You sound as if you think
I don't have any talent.
125
00:09:59,683 --> 00:10:02,101
- That has nothing to do with it.
- I'll make out all right.
126
00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:03,936
Maybe. But what about me?
127
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:06,563
Doesn't it mean anything to you
that you're busting up all our plans?
128
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:09,817
- We may not see each other for years?
- It won't be that long.
129
00:10:09,901 --> 00:10:12,111
- I thought you loved me.
- I do.
130
00:10:12,195 --> 00:10:13,737
You know I do.
131
00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:18,325
Well, here we are.
132
00:10:20,787 --> 00:10:21,787
Al...
133
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:25,541
Al, why can't you see my side of it?
134
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:28,294
I'm young. We both are. And...
135
00:10:28,378 --> 00:10:31,005
And we've got all the time in the world
to settle down.
136
00:10:31,715 --> 00:10:33,966
[sighs] Really, darling.
137
00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:37,303
What I'm doing is the only sane thing to do.
138
00:10:37,387 --> 00:10:40,889
[sighs] I... I hate the thought
of being so far away from you.
139
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:44,226
But... But we'll be together again some day.
140
00:10:44,311 --> 00:10:47,563
[sighs] Maybe you'll decide
to come out too, later on.
141
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:49,898
- So long.
- Al.
142
00:10:50,734 --> 00:10:53,068
Aren't you gonna kiss me good night?
143
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,237
Sure, why not?
144
00:10:57,741 --> 00:10:58,991
Good night.
145
00:11:05,248 --> 00:11:07,708
[playing romantic melody]
146
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:34,276
[playing jauntily, jazzy]
147
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:47,164
[changing rhythm, slower]
148
00:12:09,604 --> 00:12:12,231
[changing rhythm, jittery]
149
00:12:18,822 --> 00:12:21,824
[no audible dialogue]
150
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:40,717
[piano playing stops]
151
00:12:40,802 --> 00:12:42,469
- [applause]
- Say, Roberts.
152
00:12:42,554 --> 00:12:45,848
You hit the jackpot this time. Ten bucks.
153
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:47,391
Thanks.
154
00:12:53,481 --> 00:12:56,024
[Al narrating] So when this drunk handed me
a ten-spot after a request,
155
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:57,526
I couldn't get very excited.
156
00:12:57,777 --> 00:13:01,363
What was it, I asked myself?
A piece of paper crawling with germs.
157
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:03,866
Couldn't buy anything I wanted.
158
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:05,242
It couldn't...
159
00:13:08,246 --> 00:13:09,705
Then I thought of something.
160
00:13:33,104 --> 00:13:34,313
Long distance.
161
00:13:34,397 --> 00:13:36,857
I'd like to put a call through to Los Angeles.
162
00:13:36,941 --> 00:13:39,193
Miss Harvey. Sue Harvey.
163
00:13:39,277 --> 00:13:41,069
H-A-R-V-E-Y.
164
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:44,615
The number is CRestview 65723.
165
00:14:04,594 --> 00:14:06,386
- 4.50.
- [coin clatters]
166
00:14:06,471 --> 00:14:08,347
- 4.75.
- [coin clatters]
167
00:14:08,431 --> 00:14:09,431
5.00.
168
00:14:12,477 --> 00:14:15,020
Hello, Sue? This is Al.
169
00:14:15,104 --> 00:14:17,356
Oh, baby, it's great to hear from you too.
170
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,651
What's that? You do?
Oh, me too, darling.
171
00:14:20,735 --> 00:14:23,362
I thought I'd go batty without you.
I just had to...
172
00:14:23,446 --> 00:14:24,446
Huh?
173
00:14:25,406 --> 00:14:27,449
You're workin' as a hash slinger?
174
00:14:27,534 --> 00:14:28,867
Gee, honey, that's tough.
175
00:14:28,952 --> 00:14:32,371
Those guys out in Hollywood don't know
the real thing when it's right in front of them.
176
00:14:32,455 --> 00:14:34,164
You just stick it out, Sue, baby.
177
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:37,417
Keep goin' around to those casting offices.
I'm sure you'll click.
178
00:14:38,002 --> 00:14:40,629
Look, I'll tell you what.
You stay put out there. I'll come to you.
179
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:43,632
No, don't try to stop me. Just expect me.
180
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:46,760
Train? Who knows?
Train, plane, bus, magic carpet.
181
00:14:46,844 --> 00:14:50,430
I'll be there if I have to crawl.
If I have to travel by pogo stick.
182
00:14:50,515 --> 00:14:53,809
And then... let's get married right away.
183
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:59,439
That's the stuff. That's what
I've been wanting to hear you say.
184
00:15:00,525 --> 00:15:03,110
Well, good-bye for now.
185
00:15:04,362 --> 00:15:06,905
I'll be seeing you soon. [kisses]
186
00:15:07,282 --> 00:15:10,492
Yeah. [kisses] Bye.
187
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:18,500
[Al narrating] The only way I could
cross country was to thumb rides,
188
00:15:18,585 --> 00:15:21,587
for even after hocking everything,
I only had enough money to eat.
189
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:24,923
Money. You know what that is.
190
00:15:25,717 --> 00:15:27,551
It's the stuff you never have enough of.
191
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:29,720
Little green things
with George Washington's picture
192
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:33,432
that men slave for,
commit crimes for, die for.
193
00:15:34,183 --> 00:15:36,226
It's the stuff that has caused
more trouble in the world
194
00:15:36,311 --> 00:15:38,186
than anything else we ever invented,
195
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:41,273
simply because there's too little of it.
196
00:15:41,357 --> 00:15:43,442
At least I had too little of it.
197
00:15:43,526 --> 00:15:45,319
So it was me for the thumb.
198
00:16:01,753 --> 00:16:03,170
Ever done any hitchhiking?
199
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:05,881
It's not much fun, believe me.
200
00:16:06,549 --> 00:16:08,842
Oh, yeah,
I know all about how it's an education,
201
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:11,595
and how you get to meet a lot of people,
and all that.
202
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:15,849
But me, from now on
I'll take my education in college,
203
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:20,187
or in P.S. 62, or I'll send $1.98
in stamps for ten easy lessons.
204
00:16:29,447 --> 00:16:33,367
Thumbing rides may save you bus fare,
but it's dangerous.
205
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:37,954
You never know what's in store for you
when you hear the squeal of brakes.
206
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,001
If only I had known what I was getting into
that day in Arizona.
207
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:46,546
Here, throw that in the back seat.
208
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:51,301
Okay, let's go.
Make sure that door's closed.
209
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:53,553
- [door closes]
- [lock clacks]
210
00:17:05,483 --> 00:17:09,319
You know, Emily Post ought to write
a book of rules for guys thumbing rides.
211
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:13,031
Because as it is now you never know
what's right and what's wrong.
212
00:17:13,783 --> 00:17:17,285
We rode along for a little while,
neither one of us saying anything.
213
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:19,538
I was glad of that.
214
00:17:19,622 --> 00:17:22,457
I never know what to say
to strange people driving cars.
215
00:17:23,418 --> 00:17:26,545
And too, you can never tell
if a guy wants to talk.
216
00:17:26,629 --> 00:17:29,631
A lot of rides have been cut short
because of a big mouth.
217
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:34,845
So I kept my mouth shut
until he started opening up.
218
00:17:35,596 --> 00:17:38,473
Hand me that little box
in the compartment, will ya, pal?
219
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:42,936
Hold the wheel, will ya?
220
00:17:44,397 --> 00:17:45,397
[pills rattling]
221
00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:53,029
[glove box closes]
222
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:56,450
- How far are ya going?
- LA.
223
00:17:56,534 --> 00:17:58,577
Well, you're really traveling aren't ya?
224
00:17:58,661 --> 00:18:00,704
Yeah, but I don't expect to make it
for a couple years
225
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:02,372
at the rate I've been promoting rides.
226
00:18:02,457 --> 00:18:03,582
Not much luck, huh?
227
00:18:03,666 --> 00:18:05,459
Sure. All bad.
228
00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:07,753
Not many people stop for a guy these days.
229
00:18:07,837 --> 00:18:09,296
Afraid of a stickup maybe.
230
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:10,505
Ah, you can't blame 'em.
231
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:13,675
- Where ya comin' from?
- New York.
232
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,137
Well, New York. You're in luck this time.
233
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:19,139
I'm goin' all the way.
234
00:18:19,223 --> 00:18:20,807
Right through to Los Angeles.
235
00:18:22,018 --> 00:18:24,102
- You drive a car?
- Sure.
236
00:18:24,187 --> 00:18:26,897
- Whenever you're tired, let me know.
- I'll holler.
237
00:18:28,691 --> 00:18:30,776
I guess at least an hour passed
before I noticed
238
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:32,778
those deep scratches in his right hand.
239
00:18:33,237 --> 00:18:34,696
They were wicked.
240
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:37,532
Three puffy red lines
about a quarter of an inch apart.
241
00:18:38,576 --> 00:18:40,869
He must have seen me looking at them
because he said...
242
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:43,288
Beauties, aren't they?
243
00:18:44,081 --> 00:18:45,957
They're gonna be scars someday.
244
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:49,002
What an animal.
245
00:18:49,086 --> 00:18:51,880
Whatever it was, it must have been
pretty big and vicious to have done that.
246
00:18:52,381 --> 00:18:54,424
Right on both counts, New York.
247
00:18:54,509 --> 00:18:57,636
I was tussling with the most
dangerous animal in the world...
248
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,804
a woman.
249
00:18:59,388 --> 00:19:01,014
She must have been Tarzan's mate.
250
00:19:01,098 --> 00:19:02,766
Looks like you lost the bout.
251
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:04,559
Certainly wasn't a draw.
252
00:19:05,394 --> 00:19:08,313
You know, there ought to be a law
against dames with claws.
253
00:19:08,397 --> 00:19:09,314
Yeah.
254
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:11,483
I tossed her out of the car on her ear.
255
00:19:12,318 --> 00:19:16,655
Was I wrong? Give a lift to a tomato,
you expect her to be nice, don't ya?
256
00:19:16,739 --> 00:19:17,656
Yeah.
257
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:20,242
After all, what kind of dames thumb rides?
258
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:22,577
- Sunday school teachers?
- Yeah.
259
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:25,747
The little witch.
260
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:28,458
She must've thought she was riding
with some fall guy.
261
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:32,337
And me who's been booking horses
around racetracks since I was 20.
262
00:19:33,047 --> 00:19:34,923
[scoffs] I've known a million dames like her.
263
00:19:35,383 --> 00:19:37,217
- Two million.
- Yeah.
264
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:42,138
Stopped the car, opened the door...
265
00:19:42,223 --> 00:19:44,641
"Take it on the Arthur Duffy, sister,"
I told her.
266
00:19:44,725 --> 00:19:48,103
- That's the stuff.
- As I was down on her. [laughs]
267
00:19:48,479 --> 00:19:52,148
But if you wanna see a real scar, brother,
get a load of this.
268
00:19:53,442 --> 00:19:55,026
Wow.
269
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:57,904
- I got that one dueling.
- Dueling?
270
00:19:58,406 --> 00:19:59,865
Yeah. We were just kidding, of course.
271
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:02,450
My dad owned a couple of
Franco-Prussian sabers.
272
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:04,244
Kept 'em on the wall for decorations.
273
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:09,749
One day, another kid and I took 'em down
when the old man wasn't around. Had a duel.
274
00:20:09,834 --> 00:20:11,376
[chuckles]
275
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:13,587
He hit me in the arm, here.
276
00:20:13,671 --> 00:20:15,338
Pretty mean cut.
277
00:20:15,423 --> 00:20:16,965
Infection set in later.
278
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:18,842
Yeah, I can see that.
279
00:20:19,093 --> 00:20:21,428
- Oh, gimme that box again, will ya?
- Yeah.
280
00:20:24,765 --> 00:20:26,099
[pills rattling]
281
00:20:31,355 --> 00:20:32,397
[glove box closes]
282
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:35,525
Pain made me lose my head, I guess.
283
00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:37,694
I began slashing.
284
00:20:37,778 --> 00:20:40,488
Before I knew it,
I put the other kid's eye out.
285
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:43,950
- That was tough.
- Well, it was just an accident, of course.
286
00:20:44,035 --> 00:20:48,413
But you know how kids are. I got scared...
decided I was gonna run away from home.
287
00:20:48,915 --> 00:20:51,958
Old man almost clocked me
when I was packin' my duds.
288
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:56,296
If the bloody rag I had wrapped around my wrist
hadn't caught his attention,
289
00:20:56,380 --> 00:20:58,048
he'd have seen the bundle for sure.
290
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:01,551
But I beat it when he was phoning for a doctor.
291
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:06,598
That was 15, 16 years ago.
I haven't been home since.
292
00:21:10,561 --> 00:21:12,729
Pull in there for a bite of something, huh?
293
00:21:12,813 --> 00:21:14,481
[Al narrating] A bite of something.
294
00:21:14,565 --> 00:21:16,066
Brother, was I hungry.
295
00:21:16,150 --> 00:21:18,401
I hadn't had anything in my stomach for hours.
296
00:21:19,362 --> 00:21:21,404
Yet even with that gnawing
in the pit of my belly,
297
00:21:21,489 --> 00:21:24,324
I didn't want to be in too big a rush
to put on the feed bag.
298
00:21:25,076 --> 00:21:27,827
First, I had to make sure
this guy knew the score.
299
00:21:27,912 --> 00:21:31,247
If I got him down on me,
it was good-bye ticket to Hollywood.
300
00:21:32,083 --> 00:21:33,708
I'll wait out here for you, mister.
301
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:36,753
If it's the money, don't worry about
paying for it. This time it's on me.
302
00:21:36,837 --> 00:21:39,255
- Well, that's white of you, Mr...
- Haskell. Think nothing of it.
303
00:21:39,340 --> 00:21:42,717
You make your first million, maybe you can
do the same for me. Come on, New York.
304
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:44,594
I gotta make the West Coast by Wednesday.
305
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:47,263
There's a horse running at
Santa Anita named Paradisiacal.
306
00:21:47,348 --> 00:21:49,933
- Means dough to me if I'm running.
- We'll make it all right.
307
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:54,688
[Al narrating] He did most of the talking
during the half hour we were in the place.
308
00:21:54,772 --> 00:21:55,772
I ate.
309
00:21:56,857 --> 00:22:01,027
He rambled on about his old man, who he hadn't
heard from since he ran away as a kid,
310
00:22:01,112 --> 00:22:02,946
and how he happened to become a bookie,
311
00:22:03,030 --> 00:22:05,740
and then all about how he got rooked in Miami.
312
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:08,660
One race, 38 grand.
They cleaned out my book.
313
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:11,079
- How do you like that?
- That was tough luck.
314
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:13,164
Yeah, and I'm supposed to be the smart guy.
315
00:22:13,249 --> 00:22:16,543
You just wait. I'm going back to Florida
next season with all kinds of jack.
316
00:22:16,627 --> 00:22:18,586
And you watch those stinkers run for cover.
317
00:22:19,547 --> 00:22:21,965
- Want anything else?
- No, thanks, I've had plenty.
318
00:22:27,638 --> 00:22:29,556
- The check there, sister?
- Mm-hmm.
319
00:22:32,601 --> 00:22:34,519
Oh, just a minute. Your change, sir.
320
00:22:34,603 --> 00:22:37,272
- Keep it, sister.
- Oh, thank you, sir. Call again.
321
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,190
I'll be waitin' outside for you
when you finish work.
322
00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:40,400
[chuckles]
323
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:41,776
Sharp chick, huh?
324
00:22:49,952 --> 00:22:52,912
[Al narrating] I drove all that night
while Haskell slept like a log.
325
00:22:53,581 --> 00:22:56,416
After a while, I began to get sleepy myself.
326
00:22:57,835 --> 00:23:01,671
I was happy though.
Soon I'd be with Sue again.
327
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:03,214
The long trip was practically over,
328
00:23:03,299 --> 00:23:06,009
and there'd be no more hoofing it
down the concrete.
329
00:23:06,761 --> 00:23:08,928
I began to think of the future,
330
00:23:09,013 --> 00:23:12,098
which couldn't have been brighter
if I'd embroidered it with neon lights.
331
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,226
It was nice to think of Sue shooting to the top.
332
00:23:16,437 --> 00:23:20,356
[chuckles] It's amazing what a full belly
can do to your imagination.
333
00:23:20,566 --> 00:23:23,276
[romantic ballad]
334
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:28,156
# Your eyes are blue
Your kisses too #
335
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,577
# I never knew what they could do #
336
00:23:32,661 --> 00:23:39,667
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
337
00:23:41,045 --> 00:23:45,632
# You're telling everyone you know #
338
00:23:45,716 --> 00:23:50,095
# I'm on your mind each place you go #
339
00:23:50,179 --> 00:23:56,017
# I can't believe that you're in love #
340
00:23:56,352 --> 00:24:02,690
# With me #
341
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:12,951
Mr. Haskell.
342
00:24:14,703 --> 00:24:15,703
Mr. Haskell?
343
00:24:18,833 --> 00:24:20,875
Mr. Haskell, wake up! It's raining.
344
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,002
Don't you think we ought to stop
and put up the top?
345
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:33,263
Mr. Haskell, I'm gonna put up the top.
346
00:24:48,154 --> 00:24:50,029
[Al narrating] Until then,
I'd done things my way.
347
00:24:50,531 --> 00:24:52,699
But from then on, something else
stepped in and shunted me off
348
00:24:52,783 --> 00:24:55,535
to a different destination
than the one I had picked for myself.
349
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:58,329
For when I pulled open that door...
350
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:05,170
Mr. Haskell, what's the matter?
Are you hurt?
351
00:25:06,255 --> 00:25:07,547
Are you hurt, Mr. Haskell?
352
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:11,467
[Al narrating]
Start your sermon. I'll listen to it.
353
00:25:12,219 --> 00:25:15,013
But I know what you're gonna hand me
even before you open your mouths.
354
00:25:15,598 --> 00:25:18,016
You're gonna tell me you don't believe
my story of how Haskell died
355
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:21,352
and give me that "don't make me laugh"
expression on your smug faces.
356
00:25:24,815 --> 00:25:26,357
I saw at once he was dead.
357
00:25:26,692 --> 00:25:28,193
And I was in for it.
358
00:25:28,277 --> 00:25:30,111
Who would believe he fell out of the car?
359
00:25:30,196 --> 00:25:31,738
If Haskell came to, which,
of course, he couldn't,
360
00:25:31,822 --> 00:25:34,240
even he would swear
I conked him over the head for his dough.
361
00:25:34,325 --> 00:25:35,491
Yes, I was in for it.
362
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:39,829
Instinct told me to run,
but then I realized it was hopeless.
363
00:25:39,914 --> 00:25:41,998
There were lots of people back down the road
who could identify me.
364
00:25:42,082 --> 00:25:44,000
That gas station guy and the waitress.
365
00:25:44,084 --> 00:25:46,419
I would be in a worse spot then
trying to explain why I beat it.
366
00:25:47,504 --> 00:25:50,381
The next possibility was to sit tight
and tell the truth when the cops came.
367
00:25:50,466 --> 00:25:53,176
But that would be crazy.
They'd laugh at the truth.
368
00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:54,552
And I'd have my head in a noose.
369
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:59,807
So what else was there to do
but hide the body and get away in the car?
370
00:25:59,892 --> 00:26:02,101
I couldn't leave the car there
with him in the gully.
371
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:03,937
That would be like erecting a tombstone.
372
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:35,385
My idea was to cover him with brush,
not to rob him.
373
00:26:35,636 --> 00:26:38,304
But then I remembered that even if
I only drove the car for 100 miles or so,
374
00:26:38,389 --> 00:26:39,722
I would need money for gas.
375
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:44,060
Besides, it was stupid of me
to leave all that money on a dead man.
376
00:26:45,145 --> 00:26:47,188
Not only that,
I'd have to take his driver's license
377
00:26:47,273 --> 00:26:48,690
in case I was stopped for something.
378
00:26:50,901 --> 00:26:52,235
I didn't like to think about it,
379
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,821
but by that time I'd done
just what the police would say I did.
380
00:26:54,905 --> 00:26:57,740
Even if I didn't... My clothes.
381
00:26:58,367 --> 00:27:00,618
The owner of such an expensive car
would never be wearing them.
382
00:27:01,662 --> 00:27:03,246
Some cop might pull me in on suspicion.
383
00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,802
[motorcycle approaches]
384
00:27:28,939 --> 00:27:30,231
Hey, you. This your car?
385
00:27:30,941 --> 00:27:33,943
Don't you know better than to leave a car
with the wheels halfway in the middle of the road?
386
00:27:34,028 --> 00:27:35,403
That's the way accidents happen.
387
00:27:35,612 --> 00:27:38,614
I... I'm sorry, Officer.
I was just putting up my top.
388
00:27:38,699 --> 00:27:41,367
- I didn't think.
- Well, the next time, think.
389
00:27:41,452 --> 00:27:43,911
I'll let you go now,
but watch your step in the future.
390
00:27:43,996 --> 00:27:46,414
I know that it's a lonely stretch,
but cars come by here once in a while.
391
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:49,334
- We have plenty of crack-ups.
- Thanks, Officer.
392
00:28:13,067 --> 00:28:15,777
[Al narrating] I left nothing in the car
that'd give me away as Roberts.
393
00:28:15,861 --> 00:28:18,529
If they found a dead man in the gully now,
it could be me.
394
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:28,122
As I drove off, it was still raining.
395
00:28:29,083 --> 00:28:31,876
The drops streaked
down the windshield like tears.
396
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:36,381
I kept imagining I was being followed,
397
00:28:36,465 --> 00:28:38,341
that I could hear sirens
back in the distance.
398
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,471
Just how long it took to cover the 60-odd
miles to the California state line,
399
00:28:43,555 --> 00:28:44,555
I don't know.
400
00:28:45,057 --> 00:28:46,641
I lost all track of time.
401
00:28:47,351 --> 00:28:51,270
But the rain had stopped and the sun was up
when I pulled up to the inspection station.
402
00:28:55,859 --> 00:28:56,692

- Just baggage.

- Are you Charles Haskell Jr.?
- Yes.
411
00:29:23,178 --> 00:29:25,263
Well, remember, if you're employed,
and you stay over 30 days,
412
00:29:25,347 --> 00:29:27,223
you take out California plates.
413
00:29:27,307 --> 00:29:29,517
All right, Officer, but I'll only be
in the state a short while.
414
00:29:31,186 --> 00:29:32,270
Right. You can go now.
415
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:42,113
[Al narrating] I couldn't drive any farther
without some sleep.

00:29:42,197 --> 00:29:45,783

I had to hit the hay and hit it hard.

Later... in a half-hour.
430
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:07,490
All right, sir.
431
00:31:32,057 --> 00:31:33,599
[Al narrating] There was no time to lose.
432
00:31:33,684 --> 00:31:36,227
Every minute I had to be Charles Haskell
was dangerous.
433
00:31:36,311 --> 00:31:38,521
I'd have to be Charles Haskell
until I got to some city
434
00:31:38,605 --> 00:31:40,648
where I could leave the car
and be swallowed up.
435
00:31:46,238 --> 00:31:48,864
That meant driving the car
as far as San Bernardino,
436
00:31:48,949 --> 00:31:50,491
maybe even to Los Angeles.
437
00:31:50,576 --> 00:31:52,451
In a little town, I might be noticed.
438
00:31:52,536 --> 00:31:54,328
But in a city, I should be safe enough.
439
00:31:55,581 --> 00:31:58,666
Then, after I ditched the car,
I could go on to Sue.
440
00:31:59,585 --> 00:32:02,545
But those five minutes at the state line
made me realize
441
00:32:02,629 --> 00:32:05,631
it might be a good idea to find out
a little bit about Mr. Haskell.
442
00:32:06,633 --> 00:32:09,302
Then if anybody asked me questions,
I could give the right answers.
443
00:32:10,345 --> 00:32:13,806
The first thing I found out
was that I had $768.
444
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:17,768
This was a lot of jack, but believe me,
445
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:19,895
it was the kind of money
I'd rather not have.
446
00:32:27,446 --> 00:32:31,115
And then I found out from a letter
Haskell was carting around in his bag
447
00:32:31,199 --> 00:32:33,784
that he wasn't the openhanded,
easygoing big shot
448
00:32:33,869 --> 00:32:36,412
who went around buying dinners
for strange hitchhikers.
449
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:39,832
Before I got done reading it,
I saw him more as a chiseler.
450
00:32:41,209 --> 00:32:43,836
It was written
to his old man in California,
451
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,796
the one he hadn't seen in so many years.
452
00:32:46,590 --> 00:32:51,385
In it, Haskell posed as a salesman...
of hymnals, of all things.
453
00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:54,388
It was easy to see where Haskell expected
454
00:32:54,473 --> 00:32:56,849
to raise a new stake
for his book in Miami...
455
00:32:57,684 --> 00:32:59,143
by rooking his old man.
456
00:33:00,771 --> 00:33:03,689
That was about all I found out
from his effects.
457
00:33:03,774 --> 00:33:04,857
And it was enough.
458
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:09,737
I told myself maybe old man Haskell
was lucky his son kicked off.
459
00:33:10,864 --> 00:33:12,531
He would never know it,
460
00:33:12,616 --> 00:33:16,077
but it saved him from taking a flier
in sacred literature preferred.
461
00:33:22,793 --> 00:33:24,377
[birds chirping]
462
00:33:41,186 --> 00:33:43,979
Near the airport at Desert Center,
I pulled up for water.
463
00:33:45,607 --> 00:33:46,691
There was a woman.
464
00:33:51,321 --> 00:33:53,614
Hey, you. Come on if you want a ride.
465
00:34:07,587 --> 00:34:08,587
[car hood slams]
466
00:34:39,995 --> 00:34:41,662
How far you goin'?
467
00:34:41,747 --> 00:34:43,122
How far are you going?
468
00:34:43,749 --> 00:34:46,792
[Al narrating] That took me by surprise.
I turned my head to look her over.
469
00:34:47,836 --> 00:34:50,588
She was facing straight ahead,
so I couldn't see her eyes.
470
00:34:51,006 --> 00:34:53,758
But she was young, not more than 24.
471
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:56,844
Man, she looked as if
she'd just been thrown off
472
00:34:56,928 --> 00:34:59,305
the crummiest freight train in the world.
473
00:35:00,140 --> 00:35:02,641
Yet, in spite of this,
I got the impression of beauty.
474
00:35:03,727 --> 00:35:06,020
Not the beauty of a movie actress,
mind you,
475
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,689
or the beauty you dream about
when you're with your wife,
476
00:35:08,774 --> 00:35:10,065
but a natural beauty,
477
00:35:10,567 --> 00:35:13,194
a beauty that's almost homely
because it's so real.
478
00:35:15,363 --> 00:35:17,114
Then, suddenly, she turned to face me.
479
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:20,409
- How far did you say you were going?
- Los Angeles.
480
00:35:20,494 --> 00:35:21,410
LA?
481
00:35:22,287 --> 00:35:25,790
- LA's good enough for me, mister.
- That's what I was afraid of.
482
00:35:25,874 --> 00:35:29,084
- What'd you say?
- Oh, nothing. Just thinking out loud.
483
00:35:29,169 --> 00:35:31,128
People get in trouble for doing that.
484
00:35:32,005 --> 00:35:34,715
- What's your name?
- You can call me Vera, if you like.
485
00:35:35,509 --> 00:35:37,176
- You live in Los Angeles?
- No.
486
00:35:39,054 --> 00:35:41,555
- Where you coming from?
- Oh, back there.
487
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,098
- Needles?
- No.
488
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:47,102
Oh, sure. Phoenix.
You look just like a Phoenix girl.
489
00:35:47,687 --> 00:35:49,855
- Are the girls in Phoenix that bad?
- [chuckles]
490
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:51,774
[Al narrating]
The girl must have been pretty tired
491
00:35:51,858 --> 00:35:54,944
because she fell asleep not 20 minutes
after she stepped into the car.
492
00:35:55,737 --> 00:35:59,782
She lay sprawled out with her head resting
against the far door, like Haskell.
493
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:03,452
I didn't like that part of it much,
but I didn't wake her up.
494
00:36:04,955 --> 00:36:06,872
It wasn't that this girl still worried me.
495
00:36:07,374 --> 00:36:10,376
I'd gotten over that funny feeling
I had when she looked at me,
496
00:36:10,460 --> 00:36:13,003
which I put down
as just my jangled nerves.
497
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:16,590
With her eyes closed
and the tenseness gone out of her,
498
00:36:16,675 --> 00:36:18,133
she seemed harmless enough.
499
00:36:18,885 --> 00:36:21,929
Instead of disliking her,
I began to feel sorry for her.
500
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:25,182
The poor kid probably
had had a rough time of it.
501
00:36:26,476 --> 00:36:27,977
Who was she, anyway?
502
00:36:28,061 --> 00:36:30,479
And why was she going to Los Angeles?
503
00:36:30,564 --> 00:36:32,898
And where'd she come from
in the first place?
504
00:36:32,983 --> 00:36:34,775
The only thing I knew about her
was her name.
505
00:36:35,777 --> 00:36:37,361
Not that it made any difference.
506
00:36:37,445 --> 00:36:39,738
A few hours more and we'd be in Hollywood.
507
00:36:39,823 --> 00:36:42,241
I'd forget where I parked the car
and look up Sue.
508
00:36:43,118 --> 00:36:45,286
This nightmare of being a dead man
would be over.
509
00:36:46,121 --> 00:36:48,831
Who this dame was, well,
it was no business of mine.
510
00:36:48,915 --> 00:36:52,918
Where did you leave his body?
Where did you leave the owner of this car?
511
00:36:53,003 --> 00:36:54,712
You're not fooling anyone.
512
00:36:55,297 --> 00:36:58,173
This buggy belongs to a guy named Haskell.
That's not you, mister.
513
00:36:58,258 --> 00:37:01,343
You're out of your mind. That's my name.
Charles Haskell. I can prove it.
514
00:37:01,428 --> 00:37:03,512
- Here's my driver's license.
- Save yourself the trouble, mister.
515
00:37:03,597 --> 00:37:05,848
Having Haskell's wallet
only makes it worse.
516
00:37:05,932 --> 00:37:08,017
It just so happens
I rode with Charlie Haskell
517
00:37:08,101 --> 00:37:09,685
all the way from Louisiana.
518
00:37:09,769 --> 00:37:11,854
He picked me up outside of Shreveport.
519
00:37:11,938 --> 00:37:13,564
- You rode...
- You heard me.
520
00:37:14,149 --> 00:37:15,983
[Al narrating] Then it all came back to me.
521
00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:18,652
All the talk about dueling
and scars and scratches.
522
00:37:19,613 --> 00:37:21,363
There was no doubt about it.
523
00:37:21,448 --> 00:37:23,949
Vera must be the woman
Haskell had mentioned.
524
00:37:24,034 --> 00:37:25,784
She must have passed me while I slept.
525
00:37:25,869 --> 00:37:28,871
Well? Well, I'm waiting.
526
00:37:28,955 --> 00:37:30,331
My goose was cooked.
527
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:32,082
She had me.
528
00:37:32,876 --> 00:37:34,668
That Haskell guy wasn't dead yet.
529
00:37:35,253 --> 00:37:38,172
He wasn't stretched out stiff and cold
in any Arizona gully.
530
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:41,425
He was sitting right there in the car,
laughing like mad while he haunted me.
531
00:37:43,345 --> 00:37:44,303
Well?
532
00:37:44,387 --> 00:37:47,514
There was nothing I could say.
It was her move.
533
00:37:48,224 --> 00:37:50,142
Vera, whatever her name was.
534
00:37:50,226 --> 00:37:52,478
It was just my luck
picking her up on the road.
535
00:37:53,313 --> 00:37:56,148
It couldn't have been Helen
or Mary or Evelyn or Ruth.
536
00:37:57,025 --> 00:37:59,526
It had to be the very last person
I should ever have met.
537
00:38:00,820 --> 00:38:01,820
That's life.
538
00:38:02,697 --> 00:38:05,491
Whichever way you turn,
fate sticks out a foot to trip you.
539
00:38:11,081 --> 00:38:13,457
I told her everything,
but she didn't believe my story.
540
00:38:13,541 --> 00:38:15,167
I should've saved my breath.
541
00:38:15,251 --> 00:38:17,670
That's the greatest cock-and-bull story
I ever heard.
542
00:38:17,754 --> 00:38:19,380
So he fell out of his car.
543
00:38:19,464 --> 00:38:21,507
Say, who do you think
you're talking to, a hick?
544
00:38:21,591 --> 00:38:23,592
Listen, mister. I've been around.
545
00:38:23,677 --> 00:38:27,054
And I know a wrong guy when I see one.
What'd you do, kiss him with a wrench?
546
00:38:27,138 --> 00:38:29,264
Now wait a minute.
What I told you was true.
547
00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:30,891
You see, that's why I had to do it.
548
00:38:30,976 --> 00:38:33,352
You think I killed him.
Well, the cops would've thought so too.
549
00:38:33,436 --> 00:38:35,187
Yeah, well maybe they still think so.
550
00:38:36,106 --> 00:38:38,482
What makes you so sure
I'll shut up about this?
551
00:38:38,566 --> 00:38:41,318
Vera, I'm innocent.
Give me a break, will you?
552
00:38:42,696 --> 00:38:44,488
It won't do me any good
having you pinched.
553
00:38:44,572 --> 00:38:46,115
The cops are no friends of mine.
554
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:49,076
Now, if there was a reward...
But there isn't.
555
00:38:49,703 --> 00:38:51,912
- Thanks.
- Don't thank me yet.
556
00:38:51,997 --> 00:38:55,332
I'm not through with you by a long shot.
Let's see that roll.
557
00:39:02,090 --> 00:39:03,674
Is that all Haskell had?
558
00:39:03,758 --> 00:39:05,509
- Isn't it enough?
- No, I thought he had more.
559
00:39:05,593 --> 00:39:07,845
Not that I know of. You can search me
if you think I'm holding out on you.
560
00:39:07,929 --> 00:39:09,596
Well, maybe I will at that.
561
00:39:09,681 --> 00:39:11,807
He told me he was gonna bet $3,000
562
00:39:11,891 --> 00:39:14,560
on a horse named Paradisiacal
on Wednesday at Santa Anita.
563
00:39:14,644 --> 00:39:16,979
- He was stringing you along. He meant 300.
- Maybe.
564
00:39:17,063 --> 00:39:20,357
Sure. Three bucks, 300.
He was a piece of cheese, a big blowhard.
565
00:39:20,442 --> 00:39:23,277
Listen, mister. Don't try and tell me
anything about Charlie Haskell.
566
00:39:23,361 --> 00:39:25,279
Remember, I knew him better than you did.
567
00:39:25,363 --> 00:39:28,073
Okay, then you knew he was a four-flusher.
That explains the three-grand bet.
568
00:39:28,158 --> 00:39:30,576
I'm not so sure
he didn't have that three grand.
569
00:39:30,660 --> 00:39:34,121
Why should I believe you?
You got all the earmarks of a cheap crook.
570
00:39:34,205 --> 00:39:35,622
- Now, wait a minute.
- Shut up.
571
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:37,207
You're a cheap crook and you killed him.
572
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:39,418
For two cents,
I'd change my mind and turn you in.
573
00:39:39,502 --> 00:39:40,794
I don't like you!
574
00:39:40,879 --> 00:39:43,338
- All right, all right. Don't get sore.
- I'm not getting sore.
575
00:39:43,423 --> 00:39:45,507
But just remember who's boss around here.
576
00:39:45,592 --> 00:39:47,134
If you shut up
and don't give me any arguments,
577
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:48,677
you'll have nothing to worry about.
578
00:39:48,762 --> 00:39:50,512
But if you act wise, well, mister,
579
00:39:50,597 --> 00:39:53,182
you'll pop into jail so fast
it'll give you the bends.
580
00:39:53,266 --> 00:39:55,059
- I'm not arguing.
- Well, see that you don't.
581
00:39:55,143 --> 00:39:56,477
You know, as crooked as you look,
582
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:59,605
I'd hate to see a fella as young as you
wind up sniffing that perfume
583
00:39:59,689 --> 00:40:01,482
that Arizona hands out free to murderers.
584
00:40:01,566 --> 00:40:03,233
- I'm not a murderer.
- Of course you're not.
585
00:40:03,318 --> 00:40:04,693
Haskell knocked his own head off.
586
00:40:04,778 --> 00:40:06,278
He fell. That's how it happened,
just like I told you.
587
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:08,530
Sure, and then he made you a present
of his belongings.
588
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:10,324
- I explained why...
- Oh, skip it.
589
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:13,118
Doesn't make a difference one way
or another. I'm not a mourner.
590
00:40:13,203 --> 00:40:15,412
I liked Haskell even less than I like you.
591
00:40:15,955 --> 00:40:17,372
Yeah, I saw what you did to him.
592
00:40:17,457 --> 00:40:19,541
- What do you mean?
- Those scratches on his wrists.
593
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:20,959
Sure, I scratched him.
594
00:40:21,961 --> 00:40:23,128
I'll say you did.
595
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:26,673
So your idea was
to drive the car a little way,
596
00:40:26,758 --> 00:40:28,967
maybe into San Bernardino,
and then leave it.
597
00:40:29,052 --> 00:40:30,385
You weren't gonna sell it?
598
00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:33,597
Sell it? You think I'm crazy?
Somebody else's car?
599
00:40:33,681 --> 00:40:36,266
All I wanna do is leave it somewhere
and forget I ever saw it.
600
00:40:36,351 --> 00:40:39,269
Not only don't you have any scruples,
you don't have any brains.
601
00:40:39,354 --> 00:40:42,022
- I don't get you.
- Maybe it's a good thing you met me.
602
00:40:42,107 --> 00:40:44,983
You would of got yourself caught, sure.
Why, you dope.
603
00:40:45,068 --> 00:40:48,362
Don't you know a deserted automobile
always rates an investigation?
604
00:40:48,696 --> 00:40:49,863
Huh?
605
00:40:49,948 --> 00:40:52,783
Look. The cops find a car.
Then they get curious.
606
00:40:52,867 --> 00:40:54,493
They wonder where the owner is.
607
00:40:54,577 --> 00:40:57,996
So, all right, they don't trace Haskell.
They trace you.
608
00:40:58,206 --> 00:40:59,790
I never thought of that.
609
00:40:59,874 --> 00:41:02,626
The only safe way to get rid of the car
is to sell it to a dealer,
610
00:41:02,710 --> 00:41:04,253
get it registered under a new name.
611
00:41:04,754 --> 00:41:06,004
Say, stop at the next store.
612
00:41:06,089 --> 00:41:08,882
I wanna get a bottle and do some shopping
before we hit LA.
613
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:12,219
Okay. Soon as we find a place,
I'll drop you off and pick you up later.
614
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:14,429
Nothin' doin'. You're coming in too.
615
00:41:14,514 --> 00:41:17,349
From now on,
you and I are like the Siamese twins.
616
00:41:17,433 --> 00:41:19,434
Have it your way,
but I don't get the point.
617
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:21,687
The point is I don't want you to get lost.
618
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:23,397
I'm not gonna beat it,
if that's what you're afraid of.
619
00:41:23,481 --> 00:41:24,648
I'll say you're not.
620
00:41:24,732 --> 00:41:27,568
Well, I'm gonna see that you sell this car
so you don't get caught.
621
00:41:27,652 --> 00:41:31,446
Thanks. Of course, your interest
wouldn't be financial, would it?
622
00:41:31,531 --> 00:41:33,699
You wouldn't want
a small percentage of the profits?
623
00:41:34,284 --> 00:41:37,202
Well, now that you insist,
how can I refuse?
624
00:41:37,287 --> 00:41:38,912
A hundred percent'll do.
625
00:41:38,997 --> 00:41:40,873
Fine. I'm relieved.
626
00:41:40,957 --> 00:41:43,208
I thought for a moment
you were gonna take it all.
627
00:41:43,293 --> 00:41:44,710
I don't want to be a hog.
628
00:41:46,588 --> 00:41:48,672
[Al narrating] A few hours later,
we were in Hollywood.
629
00:41:49,090 --> 00:41:51,466
I was recognizing places
Sue had written about.
630
00:41:52,051 --> 00:41:55,012
It struck me that,
far from being at the end of the trip,
631
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:58,098
there was a greater distance between Sue
and me than when I started out.
632
00:41:59,434 --> 00:42:02,060
Vera wasn't kidding
with that Siamese twins crack.
633
00:42:02,687 --> 00:42:06,106
She rented a little apartment
as Mrs. Charles Haskell.
634
00:42:07,025 --> 00:42:10,110
When I objected to this, she explained
that it was on account of the car.
635
00:42:10,612 --> 00:42:12,154
A dealer might think something was funny
636
00:42:12,238 --> 00:42:14,531
if he called and found
we were using different names.
637
00:42:19,704 --> 00:42:21,538
- Home, sweet home.
- Yeah.
638
00:42:22,457 --> 00:42:23,498
Not bad, either.
639
00:42:31,466 --> 00:42:33,842
In case there's any doubt in your mind,
I'll take the bedroom.
640
00:42:34,302 --> 00:42:35,177
Yeah.
641
00:42:36,471 --> 00:42:37,846
Sure is stuffy in here.
642
00:42:45,980 --> 00:42:47,689
- Keep the window shut.
- Okay.
643
00:42:50,026 --> 00:42:53,487
The old crow downstairs said
there's a folding bed behind this door.
644
00:42:59,535 --> 00:43:00,702
You know how to work it?
645
00:43:04,457 --> 00:43:05,540
I invented it.
646
00:43:09,504 --> 00:43:11,630
- Some joint.
- One can't have everything.
647
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,387
I'm first in the bathtub.
648
00:43:19,180 --> 00:43:22,140
I don't know why,
but I figured you would be.
649
00:43:31,985 --> 00:43:35,570
Boy, oh, boy. [sighs]
It sure feels good to be clean again.
650
00:43:36,948 --> 00:43:38,407
I must be ten pounds lighter.
651
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:40,450
You must be.
652
00:43:40,535 --> 00:43:42,077
[saxophone playing]
653
00:43:42,161 --> 00:43:45,372
Well, hitchin' rides isn't exactly the way
you keep your schoolgirl complexion.
654
00:43:49,585 --> 00:43:51,712
I wish that guy with the sax
would give up.
655
00:43:53,089 --> 00:43:54,423
It gets on my nerves.
656
00:43:56,509 --> 00:43:57,509
Forget it.
657
00:44:00,138 --> 00:44:01,179
Have a drink.
658
00:44:02,390 --> 00:44:04,141
Aren't you afraid
I'm gonna take you up on it?
659
00:44:06,269 --> 00:44:08,562
If I didn't wanna give you a drink,
I wouldn't have offered it.
660
00:44:09,731 --> 00:44:12,983
Why be a sorehead, Roberts?
You got yourself into this thing.
661
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:15,902
You should be grateful
I'm not turning you in.
662
00:44:16,904 --> 00:44:19,114
Why, if I wasn't regular,
you'd be in the pen this minute
663
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:22,284
being photographed, fingerprinted,
and being pushed around by the cops.
664
00:44:23,077 --> 00:44:25,620
So cheer up. Get rid of that long puss.
665
00:44:27,874 --> 00:44:29,666
Or is your conscience bothering you?
666
00:44:34,672 --> 00:44:35,505
No.
667
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:37,382
It isn't.
668
00:44:37,467 --> 00:44:39,468
Swell. That's the spirit.
669
00:44:41,012 --> 00:44:43,180
He's dead,
and no moaning around will bring him back.
670
00:44:46,684 --> 00:44:50,312
Anyway, I never could understand this worrying
about something that's over and done with.
671
00:44:50,396 --> 00:44:52,439
Now look, Vera.
For the last time, I didn't kill him.
672
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:53,982
Haskell was a sick man.
673
00:44:54,067 --> 00:44:56,109
Maybe he was dead before he fell
out of the car. I don't know.
674
00:44:56,194 --> 00:44:58,403
Sure, sure. He died of old age.
675
00:44:59,364 --> 00:45:00,364
All right.
676
00:45:01,324 --> 00:45:02,824
So if it'll make you sociable...
677
00:45:04,577 --> 00:45:05,827
you didn't kill him.
678
00:45:16,464 --> 00:45:17,297
Thanks.
679
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:31,186
- We're outta liquor, Roberts.
- Yeah.
680
00:45:32,313 --> 00:45:35,440
Too bad.
I felt like getting tight tonight.
681
00:45:35,525 --> 00:45:37,567
Well, I think you succeeded.
682
00:45:37,652 --> 00:45:40,737
- Am I tight?
- As a prima donna's corset.
683
00:45:40,822 --> 00:45:42,197
- That's good.
- [glass clatters]
684
00:45:42,281 --> 00:45:44,074
I wanted to get tight.
685
00:45:44,158 --> 00:45:46,785
Why? What have you got to get tight about?
686
00:45:46,869 --> 00:45:49,246
Oh, I don't know. A few things.
687
00:45:50,123 --> 00:45:50,956
[Al] Huh.
688
00:45:52,583 --> 00:45:54,042
You should have my worries.
689
00:45:54,127 --> 00:45:56,670
If I had your troubles, I'd stay sober.
690
00:45:56,754 --> 00:45:58,380
And I've got the key to that door.
691
00:46:01,926 --> 00:46:04,678
Yeah. Maybe you're right.
692
00:46:04,762 --> 00:46:06,388
I'm always right.
693
00:46:07,723 --> 00:46:10,183
You know, I don't like your attitude,
Roberts.
694
00:46:10,268 --> 00:46:12,018
Well, there's a lot of things I don't like.
695
00:46:13,479 --> 00:46:14,813
Say...
696
00:46:17,191 --> 00:46:19,276
But life's like a ball game.
697
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,111
You got to take a swing
at whatever comes along
698
00:46:21,195 --> 00:46:23,613
before you wake up
and find it's the ninth inning.
699
00:46:24,532 --> 00:46:25,782
Bet you read that somewhere.
700
00:46:25,867 --> 00:46:29,703
That's the trouble with you, Roberts.
All you do is bellyache.
701
00:46:30,788 --> 00:46:35,500
You could have taken it easy and,
well, try and make the best of things.
702
00:46:35,585 --> 00:46:38,378
But maybe that's what's wrong
with the whole world.
703
00:46:38,463 --> 00:46:40,297
Get the professor.
704
00:46:40,381 --> 00:46:43,133
People knock themselves out
trying to buck fate.
705
00:46:43,217 --> 00:46:46,386
Now take you, for instance.
You're lucky to be alive.
706
00:46:46,471 --> 00:46:49,055
Why, suppose Haskell had pulled open
your door?
707
00:46:49,140 --> 00:46:51,850
You'd be playing a harp now.
Think of that.
708
00:46:53,603 --> 00:46:56,855
You think of it. I'm tired of thinking.
709
00:46:56,939 --> 00:46:59,816
There's plenty of people dying this minute
710
00:46:59,901 --> 00:47:02,402
that would give anything
to trade places with you.
711
00:47:04,363 --> 00:47:05,989
I know what I'm talking about.
712
00:47:07,033 --> 00:47:10,744
I'm not so sure.
At least they know they're done for.
713
00:47:10,828 --> 00:47:13,580
They don't just sweat blood
wondering if they are.
714
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:16,750
Your philosophy stinks, pal.
715
00:47:18,002 --> 00:47:21,796
We all know we're gonna kick off someday.
It's only a question of when.
716
00:47:23,591 --> 00:47:26,551
But what got us on this subject anyway?
717
00:47:26,636 --> 00:47:28,553
We'll be discussing politics next.
718
00:47:29,388 --> 00:47:30,472
Yeah.
719
00:47:32,058 --> 00:47:33,433
Where'd you hide the butts?
720
00:47:34,310 --> 00:47:35,936
On the table, sucker.
721
00:47:43,611 --> 00:47:47,113
[Al narrating] We bored each other with
conversation for a couple of hours longer.
722
00:47:47,198 --> 00:47:50,408
Every five minutes, one of us was wishing
we had another bottle or a radio
723
00:47:50,493 --> 00:47:52,118
or something to read.
724
00:47:53,538 --> 00:47:55,247
Then finally we ran out of chat.
725
00:47:56,207 --> 00:47:57,499
I know it's only eleven o'clock,
726
00:47:57,583 --> 00:48:00,085
but I want to get up early
and make the rounds to the used car lots.
727
00:48:00,169 --> 00:48:03,088
No hurry about that.
We got all the time in the world.
728
00:48:03,172 --> 00:48:05,257
Maybe you have, but if you think
I want to stay cooped up in this place
729
00:48:05,341 --> 00:48:06,925
any longer than I have to, you're batty.
730
00:48:07,009 --> 00:48:10,262
It's not a bad place. Pay plenty
for diggings like this in New York.
731
00:48:10,346 --> 00:48:12,347
I wouldn't like it if it was the Ritz.
732
00:48:12,431 --> 00:48:14,849
[coughs]
733
00:48:16,602 --> 00:48:18,144
Rotten liquor. [coughs]
734
00:48:18,229 --> 00:48:20,981
You got a mean cough.
Ought to do something about it.
735
00:48:21,065 --> 00:48:22,315
I'll be all right.
736
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,817
That's what Camille said.
737
00:48:24,527 --> 00:48:25,652
Who?
738
00:48:25,736 --> 00:48:27,195
Nobody you know.
739
00:48:30,908 --> 00:48:33,368
- Wasn't that the dame that died of consumption?
- Yeah.
740
00:48:34,704 --> 00:48:37,289
Wouldn't it be a break for you
if I did kick off.
741
00:48:37,373 --> 00:48:40,333
You'd be free
with all Haskell's dough and car.
742
00:48:40,418 --> 00:48:42,043
I don't want to see anybody die.
743
00:48:43,212 --> 00:48:44,921
Not even me?
744
00:48:45,006 --> 00:48:48,008
Especially not you. One person died on me.
745
00:48:48,092 --> 00:48:50,510
If you did, well, that's all I need.
746
00:48:52,388 --> 00:48:54,222
You don't like me, do you, Roberts?
747
00:48:55,933 --> 00:48:56,975
Like you?
748
00:48:58,352 --> 00:48:59,769
I love you.
749
00:49:01,022 --> 00:49:02,981
My favorite sport is being kept prisoner.
750
00:49:04,025 --> 00:49:07,485
After we sell the car, you can go to blazes
for all I care, but not until then.
751
00:49:14,910 --> 00:49:16,536
I'm going to bed.
752
00:49:24,962 --> 00:49:26,463
Good night, Roberts.
753
00:49:26,547 --> 00:49:29,549
Don't try and sneak away during the night.
All the doors are locked.
754
00:49:29,634 --> 00:49:33,136
Anyway, if I find you gone in the morning,
I'll notify the police.
755
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:35,889
- They'll pick you up.
- Don't worry. I know when I'm in a spot.
756
00:49:36,974 --> 00:49:40,935
Well, good night. I hope that portable
rack isn't too uncomfortable for you.
757
00:49:41,020 --> 00:49:43,146
Don't lose any sleep over it,
will you, Vera?
758
00:49:44,940 --> 00:49:47,025
[key scratching lock]
759
00:50:20,601 --> 00:50:21,935
[softly] CRestview...
760
00:50:23,813 --> 00:50:29,651
6... 5... 7,
761
00:50:29,735 --> 00:50:32,654
[whispers] 2... 3.
762
00:50:33,948 --> 00:50:35,073
Hello?
763
00:50:36,117 --> 00:50:37,117
Hello!
764
00:50:38,327 --> 00:50:39,411
Hello?
765
00:50:40,579 --> 00:50:41,746
Hello?
766
00:50:48,295 --> 00:50:51,881
No. Not yet, darling.
767
00:50:53,134 --> 00:50:54,509
Tomorrow.
768
00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:56,928
Maybe.
769
00:51:00,391 --> 00:51:01,891
[Al narrating] if this were fiction,
770
00:51:01,976 --> 00:51:05,562
I would fall in love with her, marry her,
and make a respectable woman of her,
771
00:51:05,646 --> 00:51:09,816
or else she'd make some supreme,
class-A sacrifice for me and die.
772
00:51:11,152 --> 00:51:13,361
Sue and I would ball a little
over her grave
773
00:51:13,446 --> 00:51:16,448
and make some crack about
"there's good in all of us."
774
00:51:16,532 --> 00:51:20,160
But Vera, unfortunately,
was just as rotten in the morning
775
00:51:20,244 --> 00:51:21,870
as she'd been the night before.
776
00:51:21,954 --> 00:51:23,455
[knocking]
777
00:51:23,539 --> 00:51:25,415
All right, all right, I'm coming.
778
00:51:25,499 --> 00:51:27,459
[Al] Look, Vera, it's almost noon.
779
00:51:29,003 --> 00:51:31,254
So what?
The dealers will be there all day.
780
00:51:31,338 --> 00:51:34,007
They'll be there all year too, but it
doesn't mean I'm gonna wait that long.
781
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:36,551
Shut up.
You're making noises like a husband.
782
00:51:39,180 --> 00:51:42,932
- Well, do I rate a whistle?
- You sure do, but let's go.
783
00:51:43,017 --> 00:51:46,519
Let's go, let's go. I spend 85 bucks
and two hours preparing bait,
784
00:51:46,604 --> 00:51:48,188
and all you can say is "Let's go."
785
00:51:48,272 --> 00:51:51,274
[sighs] Come on.
786
00:51:56,071 --> 00:51:58,698
We passed a few used car lots
last night down this way.
787
00:51:58,783 --> 00:52:00,784
What do you think
we can get for this heap?
788
00:52:00,868 --> 00:52:04,496
I don't know. Plenty.
You just let me handle everything.
789
00:52:04,580 --> 00:52:06,206
You think we can get $2,000?
790
00:52:06,290 --> 00:52:07,707
I don't know. But don't worry.
791
00:52:07,792 --> 00:52:10,126
I'll squeeze as much
out of this guy as I can.
792
00:52:10,211 --> 00:52:13,296
If I let it go cheap without a fight,
he might think we've stolen the car.
793
00:52:13,380 --> 00:52:17,675
And listen, don't make any slips
and call me Roberts. That'll cook us.
794
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,636
I don't need you to tell me that.
795
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:21,930
You better just sit by
and keep your mouth closed.
796
00:52:22,014 --> 00:52:24,015
Remember, we're both in the soup
if anything happens.
797
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:25,642
Forget it and drive.
798
00:52:25,726 --> 00:52:28,144
You're my wife... Vera Haskell.
799
00:52:28,229 --> 00:52:32,315
Look, after the deal's closed, let's go
back to that place on Hollywood Boulevard
800
00:52:32,399 --> 00:52:33,942
where I saw the fur jacket.
801
00:52:34,026 --> 00:52:35,235
I want to buy it.
802
00:52:35,319 --> 00:52:37,987
After the deal's closed,
I'm saying good-bye to you.
803
00:52:38,072 --> 00:52:41,491
That's right. I forgot.
I guess I'm getting kind of used to you.
804
00:52:42,743 --> 00:52:45,036
Well, that's a habit
you can start breaking.
805
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,455
Let's try this place
in the middle of the block.
806
00:52:53,671 --> 00:52:55,129
Good afternoon. What can I do for you?
807
00:52:55,214 --> 00:52:58,508
- We're interested in selling a car.
- If the price is right.
808
00:53:01,387 --> 00:53:05,473
Well, if it's in good mechanical condition,
it should blue book for about 1,600.
809
00:53:06,475 --> 00:53:07,892
Tony, take a look at this motor.
810
00:53:07,977 --> 00:53:10,228
1,600. Are you kidding?
811
00:53:14,108 --> 00:53:15,900
[car hood opening]
812
00:53:21,448 --> 00:53:23,283
Well, maybe 1,850.
813
00:53:23,367 --> 00:53:26,744
Before I let it go for 1,850, I'll wreck it
and collect the insurance first.
814
00:53:26,829 --> 00:53:27,912
[coughs]
815
00:53:31,375 --> 00:53:33,376
Lady, this motor's seen a lot of driving.
816
00:53:39,925 --> 00:53:43,219
[Al narrating] While the mechanic
inspected the car, we haggled.
817
00:53:43,721 --> 00:53:46,973
At last, when we were all worn out,
we hit a compromise...
818
00:53:47,057 --> 00:53:48,600
his price.
819
00:53:51,896 --> 00:53:53,104
Okay, it's a deal.
820
00:53:53,188 --> 00:53:56,524
- Come in, we'll sign the papers.
- I have the ownership papers here with me.
821
00:53:56,609 --> 00:53:59,319
Look, Vera, in the meantime,
will you clean out the dash compartment?
822
00:53:59,403 --> 00:54:02,196
- There may be some stuff in it.
- All right, darling.
823
00:54:04,325 --> 00:54:06,534
1,850 bucks.
824
00:54:06,619 --> 00:54:08,244
That dirty cr...
825
00:54:15,544 --> 00:54:17,420
- Mm, New York, huh?
- Yeah.
826
00:54:17,504 --> 00:54:20,757
- But you bought the car in Miami?
- Yeah.
827
00:54:20,841 --> 00:54:22,467
Well, now, let's see about the insurance.
828
00:54:22,551 --> 00:54:24,552
We can either have it transferred
or canceled.
829
00:54:24,637 --> 00:54:27,263
Uh, what kind of insurance do you have,
Mr. Haskell?
830
00:54:28,432 --> 00:54:31,559
Well, uh, aren't all the papers there?
831
00:54:33,729 --> 00:54:37,857
I don't see any. Surely you know what type
of insurance you carry on the car.
832
00:54:37,942 --> 00:54:39,442
The name of the company?
833
00:54:40,277 --> 00:54:41,486
Yeah, but, uh...
834
00:54:41,570 --> 00:54:43,321
Well, if you'll just tell me
the name of the company,
835
00:54:43,405 --> 00:54:45,114
I'd be very glad to take care
of all the details.
836
00:54:45,199 --> 00:54:46,324
Well...
837
00:54:46,408 --> 00:54:48,409
- Did you sign the papers yet?
- Not yet.
838
00:54:48,494 --> 00:54:50,536
Well, don't. We're not selling the car.
839
00:54:50,621 --> 00:54:52,538
- Well, wait a minute, Mrs. Haskell...
- Come on, darling.
840
00:54:52,623 --> 00:54:55,917
- What's the matter? Change your mind?
- Yes. I'm sorry. I guess I have.
841
00:54:56,001 --> 00:54:57,377
- But, Vera...
- Let's go.
842
00:55:03,384 --> 00:55:06,636
You got me out of a tight spot, Vera,
but I still don't understand all this.
843
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:09,722
You will in a minute.
I almost threw away a gold mine.
844
00:55:09,807 --> 00:55:13,726
1,850 isn't to be sneezed at. The car
doesn't book for as much as I thought.
845
00:55:13,811 --> 00:55:15,478
We're not selling the car.
846
00:55:15,562 --> 00:55:17,438
You want to keep it?
Now wait a minute, Vera.
847
00:55:17,523 --> 00:55:20,608
You said yourself I wouldn't be safe
until the car was in someone else's name.
848
00:55:20,693 --> 00:55:22,360
I'd like to be free of this mess
when I go.
849
00:55:22,444 --> 00:55:24,612
That's just it, Roberts. You're not going.
850
00:55:25,531 --> 00:55:27,365
- [sighs]
- There's a drive-in at the next corner.
851
00:55:27,449 --> 00:55:30,201
Pull in there and we'll get a bite to eat
and I'll explain.
852
00:55:30,285 --> 00:55:32,453
What is this,
another one of your brilliant ideas?
853
00:55:38,794 --> 00:55:41,671
- Hello. May I take your order?
- Make mine a ham sandwich and coffee.
854
00:55:41,755 --> 00:55:44,340
- And for you, sir?
- Oh, I don't care. The same.
855
00:55:46,510 --> 00:55:47,719
Thank you.
856
00:55:52,224 --> 00:55:55,226
Get this, Vera,
I've been pretty patient so far.
857
00:55:55,310 --> 00:55:57,311
I've done everything you asked me to do,
but no more.
858
00:55:57,396 --> 00:55:59,564
- Shut up.
- You've taken Haskell's money.
859
00:55:59,648 --> 00:56:01,524
And you can have the dough we get
from selling the car,
860
00:56:01,608 --> 00:56:03,192
but you're not gonna keep me a prisoner.
861
00:56:03,277 --> 00:56:05,069
It's a good thing I bought the paper.
Look at that.
862
00:56:05,154 --> 00:56:07,030
- Vera, I'm in no mood...
- Read that.
863
00:56:17,708 --> 00:56:19,292
- No.
- Yes.
864
00:56:19,376 --> 00:56:20,960
- No, I won't do it.
- Yes, you will.
865
00:56:21,045 --> 00:56:23,254
You think I'm crazy.
It's impossible, I tell ya.
866
00:56:24,131 --> 00:56:25,173
Excuse me.
867
00:56:30,637 --> 00:56:32,138
Blow the horn when you're through.
868
00:56:35,350 --> 00:56:38,561
No one could possibly get away with an act
like that. Be wise to me in a minute.
869
00:56:38,645 --> 00:56:39,812
Don't be yellow.
870
00:56:39,897 --> 00:56:42,690
You look enough like him.
The same coloring and the same build.
871
00:56:42,775 --> 00:56:44,358
See how his clothes fit ya?
872
00:56:44,443 --> 00:56:46,235
No kidding. You almost
had me fooled for a while.
873
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:47,528
Oh, grow up, Vera.
874
00:56:47,613 --> 00:56:50,406
Don't you think a father knows his own
son? There must be other relatives.
875
00:56:50,491 --> 00:56:53,326
The father won't have to know ya.
We'll wait till he gives up the ghost.
876
00:56:53,410 --> 00:56:55,411
He's an old geezer
and he won't pull through.
877
00:56:55,496 --> 00:56:59,373
And as far as the relatives are concerned,
they haven't seen you in 15 or 20 years.
878
00:57:00,876 --> 00:57:02,585
- Eat.
- I'm not hungry.
879
00:57:03,253 --> 00:57:06,130
- And I won't do it.
- It's not as tough as it sounds.
880
00:57:06,215 --> 00:57:08,049
Remember, you've got
all kinds of identification...
881
00:57:08,133 --> 00:57:09,133
his car, letters, license...
882
00:57:09,218 --> 00:57:11,761
I could never get away with it.
It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
883
00:57:11,845 --> 00:57:13,888
The old boy has scads of dough.
884
00:57:13,972 --> 00:57:17,141
Look in the paper there. Personal fortune
assessed at over 15 million.
885
00:57:17,226 --> 00:57:18,684
He'll leave plenty, I tell ya.
886
00:57:18,769 --> 00:57:20,937
Maybe he cut off his son.
How do we know?
887
00:57:21,021 --> 00:57:23,606
It's out, Vera.
I won't have anything to do with it.
888
00:57:24,817 --> 00:57:27,068
I think you will.
889
00:57:27,152 --> 00:57:30,696
Look, Vera, I'll do anything
within reason, but not that.
890
00:57:30,781 --> 00:57:32,698
So forget it or find yourself another stooge.
891
00:57:32,783 --> 00:57:34,033
You sap!
892
00:57:34,785 --> 00:57:36,911
You'll be fixed for the rest of your life
as Charlie Haskell.
893
00:57:36,995 --> 00:57:40,081
You can take your inheritance and go away.
No more worrying about the rent.
894
00:57:40,165 --> 00:57:42,291
No sweating, scheming, wondering
where your next meal's coming from!
895
00:57:42,376 --> 00:57:43,417
Think about that, Roberts!
896
00:57:43,502 --> 00:57:46,295
Vera, please. You're talking too loud.
897
00:57:46,713 --> 00:57:49,298
On this I'm splitting 50-50 with you.
Sure, why not?
898
00:57:49,383 --> 00:57:51,050
We're both alike.
Both born in the same gutter.
899
00:57:51,135 --> 00:57:52,301
Now take it easy, Vera.
900
00:57:52,386 --> 00:57:54,637
There's people around here.
You don't know what you're talking...
901
00:57:55,806 --> 00:57:59,684
We'll wait till we read that old man
Haskell's dead. Then you show up.
902
00:57:59,768 --> 00:58:02,061
Like you read in New York
that he was sick.
903
00:58:02,146 --> 00:58:04,772
No! Suppose he doesn't die?
904
00:58:04,857 --> 00:58:06,941
He will. I know he will.
Something tells me.
905
00:58:09,611 --> 00:58:12,405
[Al narrating] But as much as I insisted
I would have no part of her scheme,
906
00:58:12,489 --> 00:58:14,448
Vera was taking it for granted I would.
907
00:58:16,535 --> 00:58:19,954
Neither of us had our mind on the cards
as we played that night.
908
00:58:20,038 --> 00:58:23,207
I knew we were just trying to kill time
between newspaper editions.
909
00:58:24,042 --> 00:58:26,002
This was a deathwatch for Vera.
910
00:58:27,129 --> 00:58:28,713
Maybe it was for me too.
911
00:58:28,797 --> 00:58:32,383
Don't you realize if I'm caught they'll want
to know where I got the car and stuff?
912
00:58:32,467 --> 00:58:35,595
- Then they'll have me on a murder charge.
- If you're smart, you won't get caught.
913
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:37,054
I knock with seven.
914
00:58:37,139 --> 00:58:39,348
And if I'm caught,
don't you realize you'll be out too?
915
00:58:39,808 --> 00:58:42,935
Eighteen points. That gives me 30.
916
00:58:44,188 --> 00:58:45,438
How will I be out?
917
00:58:45,522 --> 00:58:47,982
You'll be out $1,850 we would have gotten
on the car.
918
00:58:48,066 --> 00:58:49,483
Really, Vera, you'd be an awful chump
919
00:58:49,568 --> 00:58:51,569
if you threw away all that dough
on a dizzy long shot.
920
00:58:51,653 --> 00:58:52,904
Let me sell the bus tomorrow.
921
00:58:52,988 --> 00:58:54,655
With the money it'll bring
and what you've already got,
922
00:58:54,740 --> 00:58:56,449
a clever kid like you
can run it up in no time.
923
00:58:56,533 --> 00:58:59,035
- Then we'd both be in the clear.
- I'll be in the clear anyway.
924
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:00,912
Maybe. Maybe.
925
00:59:00,996 --> 00:59:02,580
But if I got caught...
926
00:59:03,540 --> 00:59:06,083
- I'd get good and sore at you, you know.
- You mean you'd squeal?
927
00:59:06,168 --> 00:59:08,377
- Well, no, not squeal exactly...
- Never mind what you meant!
928
00:59:11,048 --> 00:59:14,425
Even if you did tell the cops
I was in on it with you,
929
00:59:14,509 --> 00:59:15,885
what could they do to me?
930
00:59:16,929 --> 00:59:19,347
They might give me the same medicine
they gave you.
931
00:59:19,431 --> 00:59:21,140
- Yeah.
- A rope.
932
00:59:23,644 --> 00:59:25,770
But I'm on my way anyhow.
933
00:59:27,731 --> 00:59:29,732
All they'll be doing will be rushing it.
934
00:59:30,359 --> 00:59:32,818
All right. But think of the 1,850 you'd lose.
935
00:59:32,903 --> 00:59:35,655
You'd kick yourself along the block
if you let that get away from you.
936
00:59:35,739 --> 00:59:38,658
I'll take the chance. Want another drink?
937
00:59:38,742 --> 00:59:41,744
You're being a goon. That's the way
people wind up behind the eight ball.
938
00:59:41,828 --> 00:59:44,330
Once they get a few dollars,
they become greedy and want more.
939
00:59:44,414 --> 00:59:45,706
My, my.
940
00:59:45,791 --> 00:59:46,791
- Caesar.
- Who?
941
00:59:46,875 --> 00:59:49,585
You know, that Roman general?
He got his for being greedy.
942
00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:52,838
He wasn't satisfied.
So the final windup was he took the count.
943
00:59:52,923 --> 00:59:55,299
A couple of days ago you didn't have a dime.
944
00:59:55,384 --> 00:59:58,219
Why, you were so broke
you couldn't pay cash for a postage stamp.
945
00:59:58,303 --> 01:00:01,347
Now you've got almost $700,
with 1,850 in the offing.
946
01:00:01,431 --> 01:00:03,099
Take my advice. Don't try for more.
947
01:00:03,183 --> 01:00:05,768
I'm tired of this game.
Let's have some blackjack.
948
01:00:05,852 --> 01:00:06,686
Play solitaire.
949
01:00:06,770 --> 01:00:09,313
- I will, if that's the way you feel about it.
- That's the way I feel about it.
950
01:00:09,398 --> 01:00:11,607
Getting sore and throwing things
won't help much, Roberts.
951
01:00:11,692 --> 01:00:15,111
I'm merely doing you a favor. I help you out of
a jam by keepin' my mouth shut.
952
01:00:15,195 --> 01:00:18,072
I show you how to make some soft money,
and what thanks do I get?
953
01:00:18,156 --> 01:00:19,156
- Thanks?
- Sure.
954
01:00:19,241 --> 01:00:21,659
Or would you rather I called the cops and told
them you killed a man and stole his money?
955
01:00:21,743 --> 01:00:22,827
- I didn't kill anybody.
- Yes, you did.
956
01:00:22,911 --> 01:00:25,705
- No, I didn't. You know I didn't.
- All right, then.
957
01:00:28,542 --> 01:00:30,251
Suppose I call the cops?
958
01:00:30,335 --> 01:00:32,920
If you're innocent,
what do you got to be scared of?
959
01:00:33,005 --> 01:00:36,590
Okay, call 'em, you mutt. Go ahead and call 'em.
See if I care.
960
01:00:36,675 --> 01:00:39,552
- At least they'll give me a square deal.
- You want me to call 'em?
961
01:00:39,636 --> 01:00:43,597
You heard me. But I'm warning ya.
If I'm pinched, I'll swear you were in on it.
962
01:00:43,682 --> 01:00:46,976
I'll say that you helped me.
If I'm frying, I'll get even with you.
963
01:00:47,060 --> 01:00:48,686
You wouldn't dare. You're chicken!
964
01:00:48,770 --> 01:00:52,815
Yeah? Then try it and see.
Call 'em. Yeah.
965
01:00:53,650 --> 01:00:55,067
Okay, I will.
966
01:00:57,112 --> 01:01:00,489
[dialing]
967
01:01:07,706 --> 01:01:09,915
Information.
968
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,835
I want the number
of the Hollywood police station.
969
01:01:14,713 --> 01:01:16,756
Okay, I got it. Thanks.
970
01:01:17,966 --> 01:01:19,592
[phone hook clicks]
971
01:01:19,676 --> 01:01:21,677
- [dialing]
- Wait a minute, Vera. You wouldn't do that.
972
01:01:21,762 --> 01:01:23,721
Oh, wouldn't I? Give me that
and I'll show you if I would!
973
01:01:23,805 --> 01:01:25,681
Take it easy now. Let's talk this over.
974
01:01:25,766 --> 01:01:27,558
[Al narrating]
This was early in the evening.
975
01:01:27,642 --> 01:01:32,146
And the conversation, while hectic,
was at least pitched low.
976
01:01:32,230 --> 01:01:36,776
But as the minutes passed and more obstacles
to her plan popped into my head,
977
01:01:36,860 --> 01:01:38,486
the air got blue.
978
01:01:38,570 --> 01:01:41,822
Each word coming from our lips
cracked like a whip.
979
01:01:41,907 --> 01:01:45,785
I reminded her that as Charles Haskell
I didn't even know my mother's name,
980
01:01:45,869 --> 01:01:47,578
where I'd gone to school,
981
01:01:47,662 --> 01:01:49,413
the name of my best friend,
982
01:01:49,498 --> 01:01:51,415
whether I had an Aunt Emma or not,
983
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:54,794
my religion, and if I'd ever owned a dog.
984
01:01:54,878 --> 01:01:57,463
I didn't even know
what my middle initial stood for.
985
01:01:57,547 --> 01:02:00,925
I also pointed out that the real Haskell
had a scar on his forearm.
986
01:02:01,510 --> 01:02:03,302
His people never saw that scar.
987
01:02:03,387 --> 01:02:05,596
He told me he ran away
right after putting out the kid's eye.
988
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,140
Yeah, but his father knew he was cut.
There'd have to be some kind of mark.
989
01:02:08,225 --> 01:02:10,434
So what?
990
01:02:10,519 --> 01:02:14,438
The old man's dead or will be.
I hope by tomorrow morning's papers.
991
01:02:14,523 --> 01:02:18,025
Anyway, you could cut yourself
a little, couldn't ya?
992
01:02:19,027 --> 01:02:22,321
Boy, for that kind of dough,
I'd let you cut my leg off.
993
01:02:22,406 --> 01:02:23,989
You're drunk and you're crazy mad, Vera.
994
01:02:24,074 --> 01:02:26,033
Turn me in if you want to,
but I won't get mixed up in this.
995
01:02:26,118 --> 01:02:28,160
Besides, how do we know?
Haskell was such a phony.
996
01:02:28,245 --> 01:02:30,371
Maybe he wasn't the man's son at all.
Maybe he just dreamed it up.
997
01:02:30,455 --> 01:02:35,918
Well, dreaming or not, you won't be dreaming
when the law taps you on the shoulder.
998
01:02:36,002 --> 01:02:39,588
There's a cute little gas chamber
waiting for you, Roberts.
999
01:02:39,673 --> 01:02:43,134
And I hear extradition to Arizona's a cinch.
1000
01:02:43,218 --> 01:02:45,052
Where's that phone?
1001
01:02:45,137 --> 01:02:46,512
- Vera.
- Leave me alone!
1002
01:02:46,596 --> 01:02:50,057
- Vera!
- I wanna phone, call the police.
1003
01:02:50,767 --> 01:02:54,812
I hate you, you stinker.
You leave me alone!
1004
01:02:54,896 --> 01:02:57,106
I'll let you alone when you promise to leave
the phone where it is.
1005
01:02:57,190 --> 01:02:59,150
- You're drunk. You don't know what you're doing.
- You're hurting me.
1006
01:02:59,234 --> 01:03:00,860
Will you promise?
1007
01:03:00,944 --> 01:03:02,528
All right.
1008
01:03:07,492 --> 01:03:10,327
- You hurt me.
- I'm sorry, but...
1009
01:03:10,412 --> 01:03:13,372
- And it's hot in here! Open up a window!
- It's not hot!
1010
01:03:13,457 --> 01:03:16,125
Don't tell me!
Now do you do it or do I do it?
1011
01:03:18,086 --> 01:03:19,837
You're no gentleman, see?
1012
01:03:19,921 --> 01:03:23,299
Yeah. All right, I'll open up the window.
1013
01:03:26,428 --> 01:03:27,511
Vera!
1014
01:03:31,892 --> 01:03:34,643
Vera, open the door.
Please open the door.
1015
01:03:34,728 --> 01:03:36,854
Vera, open the door.
Don't use the phone. Listen to me.
1016
01:03:37,522 --> 01:03:40,983
I don't like you, Roberts.
You're no gentleman, see?
1017
01:03:41,067 --> 01:03:45,154
You hurt my hand,
and I'm gonna get even with you.
1018
01:03:45,238 --> 01:03:48,407
If you don't open the door,
I'm gonna kick it down, Vera.
1019
01:03:48,492 --> 01:03:51,368
Vera, don't call the cops.
Listen to me, I'll do anything you say.
1020
01:03:52,287 --> 01:03:53,746
Vera, let me in!
1021
01:03:55,207 --> 01:03:56,665
I'll break the phone!
1022
01:04:14,267 --> 01:04:17,269
[grunting]
1023
01:04:22,609 --> 01:04:23,943
Vera.
1024
01:04:34,579 --> 01:04:36,539
[Al narrating] The world is full of skeptics.
1025
01:04:37,290 --> 01:04:39,667
I know. I'm one myself.
1026
01:04:40,669 --> 01:04:43,712
In the Haskell business, how many of you
would believe he fell out of the car?
1027
01:04:43,797 --> 01:04:46,173
And now, after killing Vera
without really meaning to do it,
1028
01:04:46,258 --> 01:04:48,676
how many of you would believe
it wasn't premeditated?
1029
01:04:49,719 --> 01:04:53,264
In a jury room, every last man of you
would go down shouting
1030
01:04:53,348 --> 01:04:56,058
that she had me over a barrel
and my only out was force.
1031
01:04:58,103 --> 01:04:59,728
The room was still.
1032
01:05:00,730 --> 01:05:03,691
So quiet that for a while I'd wondered
if I'd suddenly gone deaf.
1033
01:05:04,484 --> 01:05:06,235
It was pure fear, of course.
1034
01:05:06,319 --> 01:05:08,195
And I was hysterical,
1035
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:09,989
but without making a sound.
1036
01:05:11,324 --> 01:05:14,285
Vera was dead, and I was her murderer.
1037
01:05:15,370 --> 01:05:19,873
Murderer. What an awful word that is.
But I'd become one.
1038
01:05:19,958 --> 01:05:22,042
I'd better not get caught.
1039
01:05:22,127 --> 01:05:24,628
What evidence there was around the place
had to be destroyed.
1040
01:05:24,713 --> 01:05:26,505
And from the looks of things, there was plenty.
1041
01:05:26,590 --> 01:05:28,299
Looking around the room at things we'd bought
1042
01:05:28,383 --> 01:05:30,801
was like looking into the faces of
a hundred people who'd seen us together
1043
01:05:30,885 --> 01:05:32,803
and who remembered me.
1044
01:05:32,887 --> 01:05:35,306
This was the kind of testimony
I couldn't rub out.
1045
01:05:36,808 --> 01:05:38,058
No.
1046
01:05:38,143 --> 01:05:41,312
I could burn clothes and hide bottles
for the next five years.
1047
01:05:41,396 --> 01:05:42,855
There'd always be witnesses.
1048
01:05:42,939 --> 01:05:44,732
The landlady for one.
She could identify me.
1049
01:05:44,816 --> 01:05:46,233
The car dealer, the waitress in the drive-in,
1050
01:05:46,318 --> 01:05:48,819
the girl in the dress shop,
and that guy in the liquor store.
1051
01:05:48,903 --> 01:05:50,696
They could all identify me.
1052
01:05:52,032 --> 01:05:55,868
I was cooked. Done for.
I had to get out of there.
1053
01:05:57,203 --> 01:05:59,330
While once I remained beside a dead body
1054
01:05:59,414 --> 01:06:02,416
planning carefully how to avoid
being accused of killing him,
1055
01:06:02,500 --> 01:06:04,752
this time I couldn't.
1056
01:06:04,836 --> 01:06:06,503
This time I was guilty.
1057
01:06:07,422 --> 01:06:09,923
I knew it. Felt it.
1058
01:06:10,967 --> 01:06:13,218
I was like a guy suffering from shock.
1059
01:06:13,303 --> 01:06:14,970
Things were whirling around in my head.
1060
01:06:15,055 --> 01:06:17,890
I couldn't make myself think right.
1061
01:06:17,974 --> 01:06:21,435
All I could think of was the guy with
the saxophone and what he was playing.
1062
01:06:22,437 --> 01:06:24,021
It wasn't a love song anymore.
1063
01:06:24,814 --> 01:06:26,565
It was a dirge.
1064
01:07:12,028 --> 01:07:14,113
[jukebox: up-tempo band music]
1065
01:07:14,197 --> 01:07:16,615
[Al narrating]
But my problems weren't solved.
1066
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:19,493
I had to stay away from New York
for all time.
1067
01:07:20,328 --> 01:07:23,622
Because Al Roberts was listed as dead
and had to stay dead.
1068
01:07:24,332 --> 01:07:25,999
And I could never go back to Hollywood.
1069
01:07:26,835 --> 01:07:28,794
Someone might recognize me as Haskell.
1070
01:07:30,130 --> 01:07:33,048
- Then, too, there was Sue.
- [music stops]
1071
01:07:34,467 --> 01:07:37,803
I could never go to her with a thing
like this hanging over my head.
1072
01:07:39,180 --> 01:07:42,474
All I could do was pray she'd be happy.
1073
01:07:53,486 --> 01:07:57,656
I was in Bakersfield before I read
that Vera's body was discovered.
1074
01:07:57,741 --> 01:08:01,368
And that the police were looking for Haskell
in connection with his wife's murder.
1075
01:08:02,871 --> 01:08:04,413
Isn't that a laugh?
1076
01:08:05,081 --> 01:08:09,001
Haskell got me into this mess
and Haskell was getting me out of it.
1077
01:08:09,085 --> 01:08:11,170
The police were searching for a dead man.
1078
01:08:14,674 --> 01:08:16,884
I keep trying to forget what happened...
1079
01:08:18,261 --> 01:08:22,973
and wonder what my life might have been
if that car of Haskell's hadn't stopped.
1080
01:08:24,768 --> 01:08:26,935
But one thing I don't have to wonder about.
1081
01:08:28,146 --> 01:08:29,605
I know.
1082
01:08:31,107 --> 01:08:34,234
Someday a car will stop to pick me up
that I never thumbed.
1083
01:08:38,990 --> 01:08:39,865
Yes.
1084
01:08:40,742 --> 01:08:44,411
Fate... or some mysterious force
1085
01:08:44,496 --> 01:08:47,414
can put the finger on you or me
1086
01:08:47,499 --> 01:08:49,500
for no good reason at all.

Al Roberts, an unemployed piano player, hitches a ride, arriving at a roadside diner in Reno, Nevada. Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.
Al recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.
In Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.
Al realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.
Al crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.
In Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.
Back at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.
Al gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of "his wife." Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest.

00:02:41,245 --> 00:02:44,163
Well, here we are.
I turn down here at the next block.
2
00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,874
Thanks, mister. I'll get off there.
3
00:02:51,088 --> 00:02:53,297
[jukebox: up-tempo band music]
4
00:02:53,382 --> 00:02:56,384
- Want anything else?
- No.
5
00:02:56,468 --> 00:02:57,552
Hey, you.
6
00:03:00,556 --> 00:03:03,266
- Me?
- Yeah, you. Where ya heading?
7
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,686
- East.
- Too bad.
8
00:03:07,563 --> 00:03:10,439
I thought if you was headin' north,
I might be able to help you out.
9
00:03:10,524 --> 00:03:13,276
Pushing to Salt Lake,
and I don't like to ride alone at night.
10
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,028
I'm one of those guys that gotta talk
or I fall asleep.
11
00:03:16,113 --> 00:03:17,738
- Oh.
- So I gotta get my...
12
00:03:17,823 --> 00:03:20,157
My partner,
he's got Lou to keep him company.
13
00:03:20,242 --> 00:03:21,909
But I ain't got nobody at all.
14
00:03:21,994 --> 00:03:24,620
- Where ya comin' from?
- West.
15
00:03:24,705 --> 00:03:27,331
Yeah, sure, I know,
but where? LA?
16
00:03:27,416 --> 00:03:29,792
- Maybe.
- Got a cousin out in LA.
17
00:03:29,877 --> 00:03:31,586
- You don't say?
- Yeah, he's been out...
18
00:03:33,046 --> 00:03:34,505
You're not much of a talker, are ya?
19
00:03:34,590 --> 00:03:36,507
My mother taught me
never to speak to strangers.
20
00:03:36,592 --> 00:03:38,426
- Oh, a wise guy, huh?
- So what?
21
00:03:38,510 --> 00:03:42,430
Okay, okay. Don't get sore.
Just trying to be sociable, that's all.
22
00:03:43,891 --> 00:03:45,308
- Hey, Glamorous.
- [coin clatters]
23
00:03:45,392 --> 00:03:47,018
Give me change for a dime, will ya?

- [register rings]

25
00:03:56,778 --> 00:03:58,821
Let's have something quieter this time, Joe.
26
00:03:58,906 --> 00:04:00,907
- My head's splitting.
- Is that what's wrong with it?
27
00:04:00,991 --> 00:04:02,450
[chuckles softly]
28
00:04:04,161 --> 00:04:07,747
- Done with your coffee?
- No. And don't rush me, will ya?

00:04:07,831 --> 00:04:11,250
[jukebox: new song plays, up-tempo]
30
00:04:15,172 --> 00:04:17,173
Hey, turn that off.
Will ya turn that thing off?
31
00:04:17,257 --> 00:04:19,050
- What's eating you now?
- Yeah, what's eating you?
32
00:04:19,134 --> 00:04:21,052
- That music. It stinks!
- Oh, you don't like it, huh?
33
00:04:21,136 --> 00:04:23,220
- No, turn it off!
- Now wait a minute, pal.
34
00:04:23,305 --> 00:04:24,972
That was my nickel, see?
35
00:04:25,057 --> 00:04:28,059
This is a free country,
and I play whatever I want to.
36
00:04:29,603 --> 00:04:30,645
Okay.
37
00:04:30,729 --> 00:04:33,022
Sure. And if you don't like,
you don't have to listen to it.
38
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:35,066
And you can leave here anytime you wanna.
39
00:04:35,150 --> 00:04:36,692
Okay, okay. I'm sorry I asked.
40
00:04:36,777 --> 00:04:38,986
First good piece played tonight,
and you don't like it.
41
00:04:39,071 --> 00:04:41,489
Some people just ain't got any good taste.
42
00:04:44,076 --> 00:04:47,161
[music continues]
43
00:04:52,751 --> 00:04:55,962
[thinking] That tune. That tune!
44
00:04:56,046 --> 00:04:58,297
Why was there always that rotten tune?
45
00:04:58,382 --> 00:05:01,175
Following me around, beating in my head,
never letting up.
46
00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:07,181
Did you ever wanna forget anything?
47
00:05:07,599 --> 00:05:10,518
Did you ever wanna cut away
a piece of your memory or blot it out?
48
00:05:10,978 --> 00:05:14,397
You can't, you know?
No matter how hard you try.
49
00:05:14,481 --> 00:05:16,440
You can change the scenery,
50
00:05:16,525 --> 00:05:18,609
but sooner or later
you'll get a whiff of perfume,
51
00:05:18,694 --> 00:05:21,195
or somebody will say a certain phrase
or maybe hum something.
52
00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:23,531
Then you're licked again.
53
00:05:25,575 --> 00:05:27,994
"I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me."
54
00:05:28,078 --> 00:05:29,954
I used to love that song once.
55
00:05:30,038 --> 00:05:33,124
So did the customers back in the old
Break O' Dawn Club in New York.
56
00:05:33,625 --> 00:05:36,711
I can't remember a night when I didn't get
at least three requests for it.
57
00:05:37,504 --> 00:05:40,756
Sue, she was always selling it too.
58
00:05:41,258 --> 00:05:42,550
Those were the days.
59
00:05:42,634 --> 00:05:44,635
[song continues]
60
00:05:48,598 --> 00:05:51,559
[song continues, live combo playing]
61
00:06:07,701 --> 00:06:11,245
# Your eyes of blue
Your kisses too #
62
00:06:11,329 --> 00:06:14,123
# I never knew what they could do #
63
00:06:14,207 --> 00:06:19,420
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
64
00:06:19,963 --> 00:06:23,132
# You're telling everyone you know #
65
00:06:23,216 --> 00:06:26,343
# That I'm on your mind each place you go #
66
00:06:26,428 --> 00:06:31,223
# They can't believe
That you're in love with me #
67
00:06:32,392 --> 00:06:38,189
# I have always placed you far above me #
68
00:06:38,273 --> 00:06:43,778
# I just can't imagine that you love me #
69
00:06:43,862 --> 00:06:47,073
# And after all is said and done #
70
00:06:47,157 --> 00:06:50,284
# To think that I'm the lucky one #
71
00:06:50,368 --> 00:06:55,748
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
72
00:07:02,631 --> 00:07:04,715
[Al narrating] It wasn't much of a club, really.
73
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,300
You know the kind.
74
00:07:06,384 --> 00:07:08,385
A joint where you could have a sandwich
and a few drinks,
75
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:11,055
and run interference for your girl
on the dance floor.
76
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:15,101
- [playing romantic melody]
- I fronted the piano in there every night
77
00:07:15,185 --> 00:07:17,311
from 8:00 until the place closed up,
78
00:07:17,395 --> 00:07:19,563
which usually meant 4:00 in the morning.
79
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:22,066
A good job as jobs went in those days.
80
00:07:25,487 --> 00:07:28,739
Then, too, there was Sue,
81
00:07:28,824 --> 00:07:31,784
who made working there
a little like working in heaven.
82
00:07:32,244 --> 00:07:36,372
But how we felt about each other, well,
there was nothing very unusual in that.
83
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:39,834
I was an ordinary healthy guy,
and she was an ordinary healthy girl,
84
00:07:39,918 --> 00:07:43,170
and when you add those two together,
you get an ordinary healthy romance,
85
00:07:43,255 --> 00:07:44,672
which is the old story.
86
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:49,426
Sure. But somehow
the most wonderful thing in the world.
87
00:07:49,511 --> 00:07:51,846
[continues playing, rapidly]
88
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:59,436
All in all, I was a pretty lucky guy.
89
00:08:12,450 --> 00:08:15,494
Mr. Patterewsky, I presume?
It's beautiful.
90
00:08:15,579 --> 00:08:17,663
You're going to make Carnegie Hall yet, Al.
91
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:20,332
Yeah. As a janitor.
92
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:22,251
I'll make my debut in the basement.
93
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:26,005
I don't blame you for being bitter,
darling, but you mustn't give up hope.
94
00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:27,798
- Why, some day...
- Yeah, some day,
95
00:08:27,883 --> 00:08:29,633
if I don't get arthritis first.
96
00:08:29,718 --> 00:08:31,385
In the meantime, let's blow this trap.
97
00:08:31,469 --> 00:08:32,845
[piano lid thuds]
98
00:08:48,737 --> 00:08:49,737
[door closes]
99
00:08:51,323 --> 00:08:53,782
- Like to get something to eat, hon?
- Oh, I don't think so, Al.
100
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:56,911
I lose my appetite working in this fleabag.
101
00:08:56,995 --> 00:08:58,954
- Let's go home.
- Okay.
102
00:08:59,831 --> 00:09:02,416
I can't stand much more of that dump.
103
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:05,211
Did you see that drunk tonight
trying to paw me?
104
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:08,547
- No, what drunk?
- Does it matter what drunk?
105
00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:11,800
Say, what's the matter with you tonight, darling?
106
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:14,511
That's the third time you started
to tell me something and then stopped.
107
00:09:15,305 --> 00:09:17,806
We shouldn't have any secrets
from each other, Sue.
108
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:20,267
Next week, we're gonna make with a ring
and a license. We'll be a team.
109
00:09:20,352 --> 00:09:23,395
Yes, that's right. In the bush league.
110
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,190
- I don't get ya.
- We've been struck out.
111
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:29,276
That's a funny way to talk, darling.
112
00:09:29,361 --> 00:09:31,737
- Don't you wanna marry me?
- Al, look, I love you.
113
00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:34,198
You know I do.
And I want to marry you.
114
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:36,742
- But...?
- But not now.
115
00:09:36,826 --> 00:09:39,286
Only after we've made good.
116
00:09:39,371 --> 00:09:40,996
Sunday I'm going away.
117
00:09:41,706 --> 00:09:43,666
Oh, I know you'll think it's silly.
118
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:46,001
That's why I hesitated to tell you.
119
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:47,795
But I'm going to California.
120
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:50,297
I wanna try my luck in Hollywood.
121
00:09:50,548 --> 00:09:52,758
[Al] That's the most
stupid thing I ever heard of.
122
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:56,387
Don't you know millions of people go out there
every year and wind up polishing cuspidors?
123
00:09:56,471 --> 00:09:57,638
I thought you had better sense.
124
00:09:57,722 --> 00:09:59,598
You sound as if you think
I don't have any talent.
125
00:09:59,683 --> 00:10:02,101
- That has nothing to do with it.
- I'll make out all right.
126
00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:03,936
Maybe. But what about me?
127
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:06,563
Doesn't it mean anything to you
that you're busting up all our plans?
128
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:09,817
- We may not see each other for years?
- It won't be that long.
129
00:10:09,901 --> 00:10:12,111
- I thought you loved me.
- I do.
130
00:10:12,195 --> 00:10:13,737
You know I do.
131
00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:18,325
Well, here we are.
132
00:10:20,787 --> 00:10:21,787
Al...
133
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:25,541
Al, why can't you see my side of it?
134
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:28,294
I'm young. We both are. And...
135
00:10:28,378 --> 00:10:31,005
And we've got all the time in the world
to settle down.
136
00:10:31,715 --> 00:10:33,966
[sighs] Really, darling.
137
00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:37,303
What I'm doing is the only sane thing to do.
138
00:10:37,387 --> 00:10:40,889
[sighs] I... I hate the thought
of being so far away from you.
139
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:44,226
But... But we'll be together again some day.
140
00:10:44,311 --> 00:10:47,563
[sighs] Maybe you'll decide
to come out too, later on.
141
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:49,898
- So long.
- Al.
142
00:10:50,734 --> 00:10:53,068
Aren't you gonna kiss me good night?
143
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,237
Sure, why not?
144
00:10:57,741 --> 00:10:58,991
Good night.
145
00:11:05,248 --> 00:11:07,708
[playing romantic melody]
146
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:34,276
[playing jauntily, jazzy]
147
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:47,164
[changing rhythm, slower]
148
00:12:09,604 --> 00:12:12,231
[changing rhythm, jittery]
149
00:12:18,822 --> 00:12:21,824
[no audible dialogue]
150
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:40,717
[piano playing stops]
151
00:12:40,802 --> 00:12:42,469
- [applause]
- Say, Roberts.
152
00:12:42,554 --> 00:12:45,848
You hit the jackpot this time. Ten bucks.
153
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:47,391
Thanks.
154
00:12:53,481 --> 00:12:56,024
[Al narrating] So when this drunk handed me
a ten-spot after a request,
155
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:57,526
I couldn't get very excited.
156
00:12:57,777 --> 00:13:01,363
What was it, I asked myself?
A piece of paper crawling with germs.
157
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:03,866
Couldn't buy anything I wanted.
158
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:05,242
It couldn't...
159
00:13:08,246 --> 00:13:09,705
Then I thought of something.
160
00:13:33,104 --> 00:13:34,313
Long distance.
161
00:13:34,397 --> 00:13:36,857
I'd like to put a call through to Los Angeles.
162
00:13:36,941 --> 00:13:39,193
Miss Harvey. Sue Harvey.
163
00:13:39,277 --> 00:13:41,069
H-A-R-V-E-Y.
164
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:44,615
The number is CRestview 65723.
165
00:14:04,594 --> 00:14:06,386
- 4.50.
- [coin clatters]
166
00:14:06,471 --> 00:14:08,347
- 4.75.
- [coin clatters]
167
00:14:08,431 --> 00:14:09,431
5.00.
168
00:14:12,477 --> 00:14:15,020
Hello, Sue? This is Al.
169
00:14:15,104 --> 00:14:17,356
Oh, baby, it's great to hear from you too.
170
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,651
What's that? You do?
Oh, me too, darling.
171
00:14:20,735 --> 00:14:23,362
I thought I'd go batty without you.
I just had to...
172
00:14:23,446 --> 00:14:24,446
Huh?
173
00:14:25,406 --> 00:14:27,449
You're workin' as a hash slinger?
174
00:14:27,534 --> 00:14:28,867
Gee, honey, that's tough.
175
00:14:28,952 --> 00:14:32,371
Those guys out in Hollywood don't know
the real thing when it's right in front of them.
176
00:14:32,455 --> 00:14:34,164
You just stick it out, Sue, baby.
177
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:37,417
Keep goin' around to those casting offices.
I'm sure you'll click.
178
00:14:38,002 --> 00:14:40,629
Look, I'll tell you what.
You stay put out there. I'll come to you.
179
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:43,632
No, don't try to stop me. Just expect me.
180
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:46,760
Train? Who knows?
Train, plane, bus, magic carpet.
181
00:14:46,844 --> 00:14:50,430
I'll be there if I have to crawl.
If I have to travel by pogo stick.
182
00:14:50,515 --> 00:14:53,809
And then... let's get married right away.
183
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:59,439
That's the stuff. That's what
I've been wanting to hear you say.
184
00:15:00,525 --> 00:15:03,110
Well, good-bye for now.
185
00:15:04,362 --> 00:15:06,905
I'll be seeing you soon. [kisses]
186
00:15:07,282 --> 00:15:10,492
Yeah. [kisses] Bye.
187
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:18,500
[Al narrating] The only way I could
cross country was to thumb rides,
188
00:15:18,585 --> 00:15:21,587
for even after hocking everything,
I only had enough money to eat.
189
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:24,923
Money. You know what that is.
190
00:15:25,717 --> 00:15:27,551
It's the stuff you never have enough of.
191
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:29,720
Little green things
with George Washington's picture
192
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:33,432
that men slave for,
commit crimes for, die for.
193
00:15:34,183 --> 00:15:36,226
It's the stuff that has caused
more trouble in the world
194
00:15:36,311 --> 00:15:38,186
than anything else we ever invented,
195
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:41,273
simply because there's too little of it.
196
00:15:41,357 --> 00:15:43,442
At least I had too little of it.
197
00:15:43,526 --> 00:15:45,319
So it was me for the thumb.
198
00:16:01,753 --> 00:16:03,170
Ever done any hitchhiking?
199
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:05,881
It's not much fun, believe me.
200
00:16:06,549 --> 00:16:08,842
Oh, yeah,
I know all about how it's an education,
201
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:11,595
and how you get to meet a lot of people,
and all that.
202
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:15,849
But me, from now on
I'll take my education in college,
203
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:20,187
or in P.S. 62, or I'll send $1.98
in stamps for ten easy lessons.
204
00:16:29,447 --> 00:16:33,367
Thumbing rides may save you bus fare,
but it's dangerous.
205
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:37,954
You never know what's in store for you
when you hear the squeal of brakes.
206
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,001
If only I had known what I was getting into
that day in Arizona.
207
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:46,546
Here, throw that in the back seat.
208
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:51,301
Okay, let's go.
Make sure that door's closed.
209
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:53,553
- [door closes]
- [lock clacks]
210
00:17:05,483 --> 00:17:09,319
You know, Emily Post ought to write
a book of rules for guys thumbing rides.
211
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:13,031
Because as it is now you never know
what's right and what's wrong.
212
00:17:13,783 --> 00:17:17,285
We rode along for a little while,
neither one of us saying anything.
213
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:19,538
I was glad of that.
214
00:17:19,622 --> 00:17:22,457
I never know what to say
to strange people driving cars.
215
00:17:23,418 --> 00:17:26,545
And too, you can never tell
if a guy wants to talk.
216
00:17:26,629 --> 00:17:29,631
A lot of rides have been cut short
because of a big mouth.
217
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:34,845
So I kept my mouth shut
until he started opening up.
218
00:17:35,596 --> 00:17:38,473
Hand me that little box
in the compartment, will ya, pal?
219
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:42,936
Hold the wheel, will ya?
220
00:17:44,397 --> 00:17:45,397
[pills rattling]
221
00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:53,029
[glove box closes]
222
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:56,450
- How far are ya going?
- LA.
223
00:17:56,534 --> 00:17:58,577
Well, you're really traveling aren't ya?
224
00:17:58,661 --> 00:18:00,704
Yeah, but I don't expect to make it
for a couple years
225
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:02,372
at the rate I've been promoting rides.
226
00:18:02,457 --> 00:18:03,582
Not much luck, huh?
227
00:18:03,666 --> 00:18:05,459
Sure. All bad.
228
00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:07,753
Not many people stop for a guy these days.
229
00:18:07,837 --> 00:18:09,296
Afraid of a stickup maybe.
230
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:10,505
Ah, you can't blame 'em.
231
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:13,675
- Where ya comin' from?
- New York.
232
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,137
Well, New York. You're in luck this time.
233
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:19,139
I'm goin' all the way.
234
00:18:19,223 --> 00:18:20,807
Right through to Los Angeles.
235
00:18:22,018 --> 00:18:24,102
- You drive a car?
- Sure.
236
00:18:24,187 --> 00:18:26,897
- Whenever you're tired, let me know.
- I'll holler.
237
00:18:28,691 --> 00:18:30,776
I guess at least an hour passed
before I noticed
238
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:32,778
those deep scratches in his right hand.
239
00:18:33,237 --> 00:18:34,696
They were wicked.
240
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:37,532
Three puffy red lines
about a quarter of an inch apart.
241
00:18:38,576 --> 00:18:40,869
He must have seen me looking at them
because he said...
242
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:43,288
Beauties, aren't they?
243
00:18:44,081 --> 00:18:45,957
They're gonna be scars someday.
244
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:49,002
What an animal.
245
00:18:49,086 --> 00:18:51,880
Whatever it was, it must have been
pretty big and vicious to have done that.
246
00:18:52,381 --> 00:18:54,424
Right on both counts, New York.
247
00:18:54,509 --> 00:18:57,636
I was tussling with the most
dangerous animal in the world...
248
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,804
a woman.
249
00:18:59,388 --> 00:19:01,014
She must have been Tarzan's mate.
250
00:19:01,098 --> 00:19:02,766
Looks like you lost the bout.
251
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:04,559
Certainly wasn't a draw.
252
00:19:05,394 --> 00:19:08,313
You know, there ought to be a law
against dames with claws.
253
00:19:08,397 --> 00:19:09,314
Yeah.
254
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:11,483
I tossed her out of the car on her ear.
255
00:19:12,318 --> 00:19:16,655
Was I wrong? Give a lift to a tomato,
you expect her to be nice, don't ya?
256
00:19:16,739 --> 00:19:17,656
Yeah.
257
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:20,242
After all, what kind of dames thumb rides?
258
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:22,577
- Sunday school teachers?
- Yeah.
259
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:25,747
The little witch.
260
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:28,458
She must've thought she was riding
with some fall guy.
261
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:32,337
And me who's been booking horses
around racetracks since I was 20.
262
00:19:33,047 --> 00:19:34,923
[scoffs] I've known a million dames like her.
263
00:19:35,383 --> 00:19:37,217
- Two million.
- Yeah.
264
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:42,138
Stopped the car, opened the door...
265
00:19:42,223 --> 00:19:44,641
"Take it on the Arthur Duffy, sister,"
I told her.
266
00:19:44,725 --> 00:19:48,103
- That's the stuff.
- As I was down on her. [laughs]
267
00:19:48,479 --> 00:19:52,148
But if you wanna see a real scar, brother,
get a load of this.
268
00:19:53,442 --> 00:19:55,026
Wow.
269
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:57,904
- I got that one dueling.
- Dueling?
270
00:19:58,406 --> 00:19:59,865
Yeah. We were just kidding, of course.
271
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:02,450
My dad owned a couple of
Franco-Prussian sabers.
272
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:04,244
Kept 'em on the wall for decorations.
273
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:09,749
One day, another kid and I took 'em down
when the old man wasn't around. Had a duel.
274
00:20:09,834 --> 00:20:11,376
[chuckles]
275
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:13,587
He hit me in the arm, here.
276
00:20:13,671 --> 00:20:15,338
Pretty mean cut.
277
00:20:15,423 --> 00:20:16,965
Infection set in later.
278
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:18,842
Yeah, I can see that.
279
00:20:19,093 --> 00:20:21,428
- Oh, gimme that box again, will ya?
- Yeah.
280
00:20:24,765 --> 00:20:26,099
[pills rattling]
281
00:20:31,355 --> 00:20:32,397
[glove box closes]
282
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:35,525
Pain made me lose my head, I guess.
283
00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:37,694
I began slashing.
284
00:20:37,778 --> 00:20:40,488
Before I knew it,
I put the other kid's eye out.
285
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:43,950
- That was tough.
- Well, it was just an accident, of course.
286
00:20:44,035 --> 00:20:48,413
But you know how kids are. I got scared...
decided I was gonna run away from home.
287
00:20:48,915 --> 00:20:51,958
Old man almost clocked me
when I was packin' my duds.
288
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:56,296
If the bloody rag I had wrapped around my wrist
hadn't caught his attention,
289
00:20:56,380 --> 00:20:58,048
he'd have seen the bundle for sure.
290
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:01,551
But I beat it when he was phoning for a doctor.
291
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:06,598
That was 15, 16 years ago.
I haven't been home since.
292
00:21:10,561 --> 00:21:12,729
Pull in there for a bite of something, huh?
293
00:21:12,813 --> 00:21:14,481
[Al narrating] A bite of something.
294
00:21:14,565 --> 00:21:16,066
Brother, was I hungry.
295
00:21:16,150 --> 00:21:18,401
I hadn't had anything in my stomach for hours.
296
00:21:19,362 --> 00:21:21,404
Yet even with that gnawing
in the pit of my belly,
297
00:21:21,489 --> 00:21:24,324
I didn't want to be in too big a rush
to put on the feed bag.
298
00:21:25,076 --> 00:21:27,827
First, I had to make sure
this guy knew the score.
299
00:21:27,912 --> 00:21:31,247
If I got him down on me,
it was good-bye ticket to Hollywood.
300
00:21:32,083 --> 00:21:33,708
I'll wait out here for you, mister.
301
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:36,753
If it's the money, don't worry about
paying for it. This time it's on me.
302
00:21:36,837 --> 00:21:39,255
- Well, that's white of you, Mr...
- Haskell. Think nothing of it.
303
00:21:39,340 --> 00:21:42,717
You make your first million, maybe you can
do the same for me. Come on, New York.
304
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:44,594
I gotta make the West Coast by Wednesday.
305
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:47,263
There's a horse running at
Santa Anita named Paradisiacal.
306
00:21:47,348 --> 00:21:49,933
- Means dough to me if I'm running.
- We'll make it all right.
307
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:54,688
[Al narrating] He did most of the talking
during the half hour we were in the place.
308
00:21:54,772 --> 00:21:55,772
I ate.
309
00:21:56,857 --> 00:22:01,027
He rambled on about his old man, who he hadn't
heard from since he ran away as a kid,
310
00:22:01,112 --> 00:22:02,946
and how he happened to become a bookie,
311
00:22:03,030 --> 00:22:05,740
and then all about how he got rooked in Miami.
312
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:08,660
One race, 38 grand.
They cleaned out my book.
313
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:11,079
- How do you like that?
- That was tough luck.
314
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:13,164
Yeah, and I'm supposed to be the smart guy.
315
00:22:13,249 --> 00:22:16,543
You just wait. I'm going back to Florida
next season with all kinds of jack.
316
00:22:16,627 --> 00:22:18,586
And you watch those stinkers run for cover.
317
00:22:19,547 --> 00:22:21,965
- Want anything else?
- No, thanks, I've had plenty.
318
00:22:27,638 --> 00:22:29,556
- The check there, sister?
- Mm-hmm.
319
00:22:32,601 --> 00:22:34,519
Oh, just a minute. Your change, sir.
320
00:22:34,603 --> 00:22:37,272
- Keep it, sister.
- Oh, thank you, sir. Call again.
321
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,190
I'll be waitin' outside for you
when you finish work.
322
00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:40,400
[chuckles]
323
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:41,776
Sharp chick, huh?
324
00:22:49,952 --> 00:22:52,912
[Al narrating] I drove all that night
while Haskell slept like a log.
325
00:22:53,581 --> 00:22:56,416
After a while, I began to get sleepy myself.
326
00:22:57,835 --> 00:23:01,671
I was happy though.
Soon I'd be with Sue again.
327
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:03,214
The long trip was practically over,
328
00:23:03,299 --> 00:23:06,009
and there'd be no more hoofing it
down the concrete.
329
00:23:06,761 --> 00:23:08,928
I began to think of the future,
330
00:23:09,013 --> 00:23:12,098
which couldn't have been brighter
if I'd embroidered it with neon lights.
331
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,226
It was nice to think of Sue shooting to the top.
332
00:23:16,437 --> 00:23:20,356
[chuckles] It's amazing what a full belly
can do to your imagination.
333
00:23:20,566 --> 00:23:23,276
[romantic ballad]
334
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:28,156
# Your eyes are blue
Your kisses too #
335
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,577
# I never knew what they could do #

00:23:32,661 --> 00:23:39,667
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #

00:23:41,045 --> 00:23:45,632
# You're telling everyone you know #

00:23:45,716 --> 00:23:50,095
# I'm on your mind each place you go #
339
00:23:50,179 --> 00:23:56,017
# I can't believe that you're in love #
340
00:23:56,352 --> 00:24:02,690
# With me #
341
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:12,951
Mr. Haskell.
342
00:24:14,703 --> 00:24:15,703
Mr. Haskell?
343
00:24:18,833 --> 00:24:20,875
Mr. Haskell, wake up! It's raining.
344
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,002
Don't you think we ought to stop
and put up the top?
345
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:33,263
Mr. Haskell, I'm gonna put up the top.
346
00:24:48,154 --> 00:24:50,029
[Al narrating] Until then,
I'd done things my way.
347
00:24:50,531 --> 00:24:52,699
But from then on, something else
stepped in and shunted me off
348
00:24:52,783 --> 00:24:55,535
to a different destination
than the one I had picked for myself.
349
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:58,329
For when I pulled open that door...
350
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:05,170
Mr. Haskell, what's the matter?
Are you hurt?
351
00:25:06,255 --> 00:25:07,547
Are you hurt, Mr. Haskell?
352
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:11,467
[Al narrating]
Start your sermon. I'll listen to it.
353
00:25:12,219 --> 00:25:15,013
But I know what you're gonna hand me
even before you open your mouths.
354
00:25:15,598 --> 00:25:18,016
You're gonna tell me you don't believe
my story of how Haskell died
355
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:21,352
and give me that "don't make me laugh"
expression on your smug faces.
356
00:25:24,815 --> 00:25:26,357
I saw at once he was dead.
357
00:25:26,692 --> 00:25:28,193
And I was in for it.
358
00:25:28,277 --> 00:25:30,111
Who would believe he fell out of the car?
359
00:25:30,196 --> 00:25:31,738
If Haskell came to, which,
of course, he couldn't,
360
00:25:31,822 --> 00:25:34,240
even he would swear
I conked him over the head for his dough.
361
00:25:34,325 --> 00:25:35,491
Yes, I was in for it.
362
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:39,829
Instinct told me to run,
but then I realized it was hopeless.
363
00:25:39,914 --> 00:25:41,998
There were lots of people back down the road
who could identify me.
364
00:25:42,082 --> 00:25:44,000
That gas station guy and the waitress.
365
00:25:44,084 --> 00:25:46,419
I would be in a worse spot then
trying to explain why I beat it.
366
00:25:47,504 --> 00:25:50,381
The next possibility was to sit tight
and tell the truth when the cops came.
367
00:25:50,466 --> 00:25:53,176
But that would be crazy.
They'd laugh at the truth.
368
00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:54,552
And I'd have my head in a noose.
369
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:59,807
So what else was there to do
but hide the body and get away in the car?
370
00:25:59,892 --> 00:26:02,101
I couldn't leave the car there
with him in the gully.
371
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:03,937
That would be like erecting a tombstone.
372
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:35,385
My idea was to cover him with brush,
not to rob him.
373
00:26:35,636 --> 00:26:38,304
But then I remembered that even if
I only drove the car for 100 miles or so,
374
00:26:38,389 --> 00:26:39,722
I would need money for gas.
375
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:44,060
Besides, it was stupid of me
to leave all that money on a dead man.
376
00:26:45,145 --> 00:26:47,188
Not only that,
I'd have to take his driver's license
377
00:26:47,273 --> 00:26:48,690
in case I was stopped for something.
378
00:26:50,901 --> 00:26:52,235
I didn't like to think about it,
379
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,821
but by that time I'd done
just what the police would say I did.
380
00:26:54,905 --> 00:26:57,740
Even if I didn't... My clothes.
381
00:26:58,367 --> 00:27:00,618
The owner of such an expensive car
would never be wearing them.
382
00:27:01,662 --> 00:27:03,246
Some cop might pull me in on suspicion.
383
00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,802
[motorcycle approaches]
384
00:27:28,939 --> 00:27:30,231
Hey, you. This your car?
385
00:27:30,941 --> 00:27:33,943
Don't you know better than to leave a car
with the wheels halfway in the middle of the road?
386
00:27:34,028 --> 00:27:35,403
That's the way accidents happen.
387
00:27:35,612 --> 00:27:38,614
I... I'm sorry, Officer.
I was just putting up my top.
388
00:27:38,699 --> 00:27:41,367
- I didn't think.
- Well, the next time, think.
389
00:27:41,452 --> 00:27:43,911
I'll let you go now,
but watch your step in the future.
390
00:27:43,996 --> 00:27:46,414
I know that it's a lonely stretch,
but cars come by here once in a while.
391
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:49,334
- We have plenty of crack-ups.
- Thanks, Officer.
392
00:28:13,067 --> 00:28:15,777
[Al narrating] I left nothing in the car
that'd give me away as Roberts.
393
00:28:15,861 --> 00:28:18,529
If they found a dead man in the gully now,
it could be me.
394
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:28,122
As I drove off, it was still raining.
395
00:28:29,083 --> 00:28:31,876
The drops streaked
down the windshield like tears.
396
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:36,381
I kept imagining I was being followed,
397
00:28:36,465 --> 00:28:38,341
that I could hear sirens
back in the distance.
398
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,471
Just how long it took to cover the 60-odd
miles to the California state line,
399
00:28:43,555 --> 00:28:44,555
I don't know.
400
00:28:45,057 --> 00:28:46,641
I lost all track of time.
401
00:28:47,351 --> 00:28:51,270
But the rain had stopped and the sun was up
when I pulled up to the inspection station.
402
00:28:55,859 --> 00:28:56,692
Hello.
403
00:28:57,653 --> 00:28:59,946
- Carrying any fruits or vegetables?
- No.
404
00:29:00,030 --> 00:29:02,198
- Any livestock or poultry?
- No.

[footsteps approaching]
406
00:29:03,826 --> 00:29:06,202
I'd like to see your registration
and driver's license, please.
407
00:29:10,749 --> 00:29:13,251
- Anything in the baggage compartment?
- Just baggage.

Age 30, brown eyes, dark hair.
409
00:29:18,841 --> 00:29:20,216
Identifying marks, none.
410
00:29:20,884 --> 00:29:23,094
- Are you Charles Haskell Jr.?
- Yes.
411
00:29:23,178 --> 00:29:25,263
Well, remember, if you're employed,
and you stay over 30 days,
412
00:29:25,347 --> 00:29:27,223
you take out California plates.
413
00:29:27,307 --> 00:29:29,517
All right, Officer, but I'll only be
in the state a short while.
414
00:29:31,186 --> 00:29:32,270
Right. You can go now.
415
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:42,113
[Al narrating] I couldn't drive any farther
without some sleep.
416
00:29:42,197 --> 00:29:45,783
Cops or no cops, I knew
I had to hit the hay and hit it hard.
417
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,203
I was dead tired.

00:30:20,027 --> 00:30:20,943

No, you can't, Mr. Haskell.

[knocking continues]
427
00:30:59,358 --> 00:31:00,233
Who's there?
428
00:31:00,317 --> 00:31:02,610
It's the maid. Can I come in and clean?
429
00:31:03,820 --> 00:31:06,322
Later... in a half-hour.
430
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:07,490
All right, sir.
431
00:31:32,057 --> 00:31:33,599
[Al narrating] There was no time to lose.
432
00:31:33,684 --> 00:31:36,227
Every minute I had to be Charles Haskell
was dangerous.
433
00:31:36,311 --> 00:31:38,521
I'd have to be Charles Haskell
until I got to some city
434
00:31:38,605 --> 00:31:40,648
where I could leave the car
and be swallowed up.
435
00:31:46,238 --> 00:31:48,864
That meant driving the car
as far as San Bernardino,
436
00:31:48,949 --> 00:31:50,491
maybe even to Los Angeles.
437
00:31:50,576 --> 00:31:52,451
In a little town, I might be noticed.
438
00:31:52,536 --> 00:31:54,328
But in a city, I should be safe enough.
439
00:31:55,581 --> 00:31:58,666
Then, after I ditched the car,
I could go on to Sue.
440
00:31:59,585 --> 00:32:02,545
But those five minutes at the state line
made me realize
441
00:32:02,629 --> 00:32:05,631
it might be a good idea to find out
a little bit about Mr. Haskell.
442
00:32:06,633 --> 00:32:09,302
Then if anybody asked me questions,
I could give the right answers.
443
00:32:10,345 --> 00:32:13,806
The first thing I found out
was that I had $768.
444
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:17,768
This was a lot of jack, but believe me,
445
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:19,895
it was the kind of money
I'd rather not have.
446
00:32:27,446 --> 00:32:31,115
And then I found out from a letter
Haskell was carting around in his bag
447
00:32:31,199 --> 00:32:33,784
that he wasn't the openhanded,
easygoing big shot
448
00:32:33,869 --> 00:32:36,412
who went around buying dinners
for strange hitchhikers.
449
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:39,832
Before I got done reading it,
I saw him more as a chiseler.
450
00:32:41,209 --> 00:32:43,836
It was written
to his old man in California,
451
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,796
the one he hadn't seen in so many years.
452
00:32:46,590 --> 00:32:51,385
In it, Haskell posed as a salesman...
of hymnals, of all things.
453
00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:54,388
It was easy to see where Haskell expected
454
00:32:54,473 --> 00:32:56,849
to raise a new stake
for his book in Miami...
455
00:32:57,684 --> 00:32:59,143
by rooking his old man.
456
00:33:00,771 --> 00:33:03,689
That was about all I found out
from his effects.
457
00:33:03,774 --> 00:33:04,857
And it was enough.
458
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:09,737
I told myself maybe old man Haskell
was lucky his son kicked off.
459
00:33:10,864 --> 00:33:12,531
He would never know it,
460
00:33:12,616 --> 00:33:16,077
but it saved him from taking a flier
in sacred literature preferred.

462

Near the airport at Desert Center,
I pulled up for water.

00:33:45,607 --> 00:33:46,691

How far are you going?
468
00:34:43,749 --> 00:34:46,792
[Al narrating] That took me by surprise.
I turned my head to look her over.
469
00:34:47,836 --> 00:34:50,588
She was facing straight ahead,
so I couldn't see her eyes.
470
00:34:51,006 --> 00:34:53,758
But she was young, not more than 24.
471
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:56,844
Man, she looked as if
she'd just been thrown off
472
00:34:56,928 --> 00:34:59,305
the crummiest freight train in the world.
473
00:35:00,140 --> 00:35:02,641
Yet, in spite of this,
I got the impression of beauty.
474
00:35:03,727 --> 00:35:06,020
Not the beauty of a movie actress,
mind you,
475
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,689
or the beauty you dream about
when you're with your wife,
476
00:35:08,774 --> 00:35:10,065
but a natural beauty,
477
00:35:10,567 --> 00:35:13,194
a beauty that's almost homely
because it's so real.
478
00:35:15,363 --> 00:35:17,114
Then, suddenly, she turned to face me.
479
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:20,409
- How far did you say you were going?
- Los Angeles.
480
00:35:20,494 --> 00:35:21,410
LA?
481
00:35:22,287 --> 00:35:25,790
- LA's good enough for me, mister.
- That's what I was afraid of.
482
00:35:25,874 --> 00:35:29,084
- What'd you say?
- Oh, nothing. Just thinking out loud.
483
00:35:29,169 --> 00:35:31,128
People get in trouble for doing that.
484
00:35:32,005 --> 00:35:34,715
- What's your name?
- You can call me Vera, if you like.
485
00:35:35,509 --> 00:35:37,176
- You live in Los Angeles?
- No.
486
00:35:39,054 --> 00:35:41,555
- Where you coming from?
- Oh, back there.
487
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,098
- Needles?
- No.
488
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:47,102
Oh, sure. Phoenix.
You look just like a Phoenix girl.
489
00:35:47,687 --> 00:35:49,855
- Are the girls in Phoenix that bad?
- [chuckles]
490
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:51,774
[Al narrating]
The girl must have been pretty tired
491
00:35:51,858 --> 00:35:54,944
because she fell asleep not 20 minutes
after she stepped into the car.
492
00:35:55,737 --> 00:35:59,782
She lay sprawled out with her head resting
against the far door, like Haskell.
493
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:03,452
I didn't like that part of it much,
but I didn't wake her up.
494
00:36:04,955 --> 00:36:06,872
It wasn't that this girl still worried me.
495
00:36:07,374 --> 00:36:10,376
I'd gotten over that funny feeling
I had when she looked at me,
496
00:36:10,460 --> 00:36:13,003
which I put down
as just my jangled nerves.
497
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:16,590
With her eyes closed
and the tenseness gone out of her,
498
00:36:16,675 --> 00:36:18,133
she seemed harmless enough.
499
00:36:18,885 --> 00:36:21,929
Instead of disliking her,
I began to feel sorry for her.
500
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:25,182
The poor kid probably
had had a rough time of it.
501
00:36:26,476 --> 00:36:27,977
Who was she, anyway?
502
00:36:28,061 --> 00:36:30,479
And why was she going to Los Angeles?
503
00:36:30,564 --> 00:36:32,898
And where'd she come from
in the first place?
504
00:36:32,983 --> 00:36:34,775
The only thing I knew about her
was her name.
505
00:36:35,777 --> 00:36:37,361
Not that it made any difference.
506
00:36:37,445 --> 00:36:39,738
A few hours more and we'd be in Hollywood.
507
00:36:39,823 --> 00:36:42,241
I'd forget where I parked the car
and look up Sue.
508
00:36:43,118 --> 00:36:45,286
This nightmare of being a dead man
would be over.
509
00:36:46,121 --> 00:36:48,831
Who this dame was, well,
it was no business of mine.
510
00:36:48,915 --> 00:36:52,918
Where did you leave his body?
Where did you leave the owner of this car?
511
00:36:53,003 --> 00:36:54,712
You're not fooling anyone.
512
00:36:55,297 --> 00:36:58,173
This buggy belongs to a guy named Haskell.
That's not you, mister.
513
00:36:58,258 --> 00:37:01,343
You're out of your mind. That's my name.
Charles Haskell. I can prove it.
514
00:37:01,428 --> 00:37:03,512
- Here's my driver's license.
- Save yourself the trouble, mister.
515
00:37:03,597 --> 00:37:05,848
Having Haskell's wallet
only makes it worse.
516
00:37:05,932 --> 00:37:08,017
It just so happens
I rode with Charlie Haskell
517
00:37:08,101 --> 00:37:09,685
all the way from Louisiana.
518
00:37:09,769 --> 00:37:11,854
He picked me up outside of Shreveport.
519
00:37:11,938 --> 00:37:13,564
- You rode...
- You heard me.
520
00:37:14,149 --> 00:37:15,983
[Al narrating] Then it all came back to me.
521
00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:18,652
All the talk about dueling
and scars and scratches.
522
00:37:19,613 --> 00:37:21,363
There was no doubt about it.
523
00:37:21,448 --> 00:37:23,949
Vera must be the woman
Haskell had mentioned.
524
00:37:24,034 --> 00:37:25,784
She must have passed me while I slept.
525
00:37:25,869 --> 00:37:28,871
Well? Well, I'm waiting.
526
00:37:28,955 --> 00:37:30,331
My goose was cooked.
527
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:32,082
She had me.
528
00:37:32,876 --> 00:37:34,668
That Haskell guy wasn't dead yet.
529
00:37:35,253 --> 00:37:38,172
He wasn't stretched out stiff and cold
in any Arizona gully.
530
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:41,425
He was sitting right there in the car,
laughing like mad while he haunted me.
531
00:37:43,345 --> 00:37:44,303
Well?
532
00:37:44,387 --> 00:37:47,514
There was nothing I could say.
It was her move.
533
00:37:48,224 --> 00:37:50,142
Vera, whatever her name was.
534
00:37:50,226 --> 00:37:52,478
It was just my luck
picking her up on the road.
535
00:37:53,313 --> 00:37:56,148
It couldn't have been Helen
or Mary or Evelyn or Ruth.
536
00:37:57,025 --> 00:37:59,526
It had to be the very last person
I should ever have met.
537
00:38:00,820 --> 00:38:01,820
That's life.
538
00:38:02,697 --> 00:38:05,491
Whichever way you turn,
fate sticks out a foot to trip you.
539
00:38:11,081 --> 00:38:13,457
I told her everything,
but she didn't believe my story.
540
00:38:13,541 --> 00:38:15,167
I should've saved my breath.
541
00:38:15,251 --> 00:38:17,670
That's the greatest cock-and-bull story
I ever heard.
542
00:38:17,754 --> 00:38:19,380
So he fell out of his car.
543
00:38:19,464 --> 00:38:21,507
Say, who do you think
you're talking to, a hick?
544
00:38:21,591 --> 00:38:23,592
Listen, mister. I've been around.
545
00:38:23,677 --> 00:38:27,054
And I know a wrong guy when I see one.
What'd you do, kiss him with a wrench?
546
00:38:27,138 --> 00:38:29,264
Now wait a minute.
What I told you was true.
547
00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:30,891
You see, that's why I had to do it.
548
00:38:30,976 --> 00:38:33,352
You think I killed him.
Well, the cops would've thought so too.
549
00:38:33,436 --> 00:38:35,187
Yeah, well maybe they still think so.
550
00:38:36,106 --> 00:38:38,482
What makes you so sure
I'll shut up about this?
551
00:38:38,566 --> 00:38:41,318
Vera, I'm innocent.
Give me a break, will you?
552
00:38:42,696 --> 00:38:44,488
It won't do me any good
having you pinched.
553
00:38:44,572 --> 00:38:46,115
The cops are no friends of mine.
554
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:49,076
Now, if there was a reward...
But there isn't.
555
00:38:49,703 --> 00:38:51,912
- Thanks.
- Don't thank me yet.
556
00:38:51,997 --> 00:38:55,332
I'm not through with you by a long shot.
Let's see that roll.
557
00:39:02,090 --> 00:39:03,674
Is that all Haskell had?
558
00:39:03,758 --> 00:39:05,509
- Isn't it enough?
- No, I thought he had more.
559
00:39:05,593 --> 00:39:07,845
Not that I know of. You can search me
if you think I'm holding out on you.
560
00:39:07,929 --> 00:39:09,596
Well, maybe I will at that.
561
00:39:09,681 --> 00:39:11,807
He told me he was gonna bet $3,000
562
00:39:11,891 --> 00:39:14,560
on a horse named Paradisiacal
on Wednesday at Santa Anita.
563
00:39:14,644 --> 00:39:16,979
- He was stringing you along. He meant 300.
- Maybe.
564
00:39:17,063 --> 00:39:20,357
Sure. Three bucks, 300.
He was a piece of cheese, a big blowhard.
565
00:39:20,442 --> 00:39:23,277
Listen, mister. Don't try and tell me
anything about Charlie Haskell.
566
00:39:23,361 --> 00:39:25,279
Remember, I knew him better than you did.
567
00:39:25,363 --> 00:39:28,073
Okay, then you knew he was a four-flusher.
That explains the three-grand bet.
568
00:39:28,158 --> 00:39:30,576
I'm not so sure
he didn't have that three grand.
569
00:39:30,660 --> 00:39:34,121
Why should I believe you?
You got all the earmarks of a cheap crook.
570
00:39:34,205 --> 00:39:35,622
- Now, wait a minute.
- Shut up.
571
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:37,207
You're a cheap crook and you killed him.
572
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:39,418
For two cents,
I'd change my mind and turn you in.
573
00:39:39,502 --> 00:39:40,794
I don't like you!
574
00:39:40,879 --> 00:39:43,338
- All right, all right. Don't get sore.
- I'm not getting sore.
575
00:39:43,423 --> 00:39:45,507
But just remember who's boss around here.
576
00:39:45,592 --> 00:39:47,134
If you shut up
and don't give me any arguments,
577
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:48,677
you'll have nothing to worry about.
578
00:39:48,762 --> 00:39:50,512
But if you act wise, well, mister,
579
00:39:50,597 --> 00:39:53,182
you'll pop into jail so fast
it'll give you the bends.
580
00:39:53,266 --> 00:39:55,059
- I'm not arguing.
- Well, see that you don't.
581
00:39:55,143 --> 00:39:56,477
You know, as crooked as you look,
582
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:59,605
I'd hate to see a fella as young as you
wind up sniffing that perfume
583
00:39:59,689 --> 00:40:01,482
that Arizona hands out free to murderers.
584
00:40:01,566 --> 00:40:03,233
- I'm not a murderer.
- Of course you're not.
585
00:40:03,318 --> 00:40:04,693
Haskell knocked his own head off.
586
00:40:04,778 --> 00:40:06,278
He fell. That's how it happened,
just like I told you.
587
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:08,530
Sure, and then he made you a present
of his belongings.
588
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:10,324
- I explained why...
- Oh, skip it.
589
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:13,118
Doesn't make a difference one way
or another. I'm not a mourner.
590
00:40:13,203 --> 00:40:15,412
I liked Haskell even less than I like you.
591
00:40:15,955 --> 00:40:17,372
Yeah, I saw what you did to him.
592
00:40:17,457 --> 00:40:19,541
- What do you mean?
- Those scratches on his wrists.
593
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:20,959
Sure, I scratched him.
594
00:40:21,961 --> 00:40:23,128
I'll say you did.
595
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:26,673
So your idea was
to drive the car a little way,
596
00:40:26,758 --> 00:40:28,967
maybe into San Bernardino,
and then leave it.
597
00:40:29,052 --> 00:40:30,385
You weren't gonna sell it?
598
00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:33,597
Sell it? You think I'm crazy?
Somebody else's car?
599
00:40:33,681 --> 00:40:36,266
All I wanna do is leave it somewhere
and forget I ever saw it.
600
00:40:36,351 --> 00:40:39,269
Not only don't you have any scruples,
you don't have any brains.
601
00:40:39,354 --> 00:40:42,022
- I don't get you.
- Maybe it's a good thing you met me.
602
00:40:42,107 --> 00:40:44,983
You would of got yourself caught, sure.
Why, you dope.
603
00:40:45,068 --> 00:40:48,362
Don't you know a deserted automobile
always rates an investigation?
604
00:40:48,696 --> 00:40:49,863
Huh?
605
00:40:49,948 --> 00:40:52,783
Look. The cops find a car.
Then they get curious.
606
00:40:52,867 --> 00:40:54,493
They wonder where the owner is.
607
00:40:54,577 --> 00:40:57,996
So, all right, they don't trace Haskell.
They trace you.
608
00:40:58,206 --> 00:40:59,790
I never thought of that.
609
00:40:59,874 --> 00:41:02,626
The only safe way to get rid of the car
is to sell it to a dealer,
610
00:41:02,710 --> 00:41:04,253
get it registered under a new name.
611
00:41:04,754 --> 00:41:06,004
Say, stop at the next store.
612
00:41:06,089 --> 00:41:08,882
I wanna get a bottle and do some shopping
before we hit LA.
613
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:12,219
Okay. Soon as we find a place,
I'll drop you off and pick you up later.
614
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:14,429
Nothin' doin'. You're coming in too.
615
00:41:14,514 --> 00:41:17,349
From now on,
you and I are like the Siamese twins.
616
00:41:17,433 --> 00:41:19,434
Have it your way,
but I don't get the point.
617
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:21,687
The point is I don't want you to get lost.
618
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:23,397
I'm not gonna beat it,
if that's what you're afraid of.
619
00:41:23,481 --> 00:41:24,648
I'll say you're not.
620
00:41:24,732 --> 00:41:27,568
Well, I'm gonna see that you sell this car
so you don't get caught.
621
00:41:27,652 --> 00:41:31,446
Thanks. Of course, your interest
wouldn't be financial, would it?
622
00:41:31,531 --> 00:41:33,699
You wouldn't want
a small percentage of the profits?
623
00:41:34,284 --> 00:41:37,202
Well, now that you insist,
how can I refuse?
624
00:41:37,287 --> 00:41:38,912
A hundred percent'll do.
625
00:41:38,997 --> 00:41:40,873
Fine. I'm relieved.
626
00:41:40,957 --> 00:41:43,208
I thought for a moment
you were gonna take it all.
627
00:41:43,293 --> 00:41:44,710
I don't want to be a hog.
628
00:41:46,588 --> 00:41:48,672
[Al narrating] A few hours later,
we were in Hollywood.
629
00:41:49,090 --> 00:41:51,466
I was recognizing places
Sue had written about.
630
00:41:52,051 --> 00:41:55,012
It struck me that,
far from being at the end of the trip,
631
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:58,098
there was a greater distance between Sue
and me than when I started out.
632
00:41:59,434 --> 00:42:02,060
Vera wasn't kidding
with that Siamese twins crack.
633
00:42:02,687 --> 00:42:06,106
She rented a little apartment
as Mrs. Charles Haskell.
634
00:42:07,025 --> 00:42:10,110
When I objected to this, she explained
that it was on account of the car.
635
00:42:10,612 --> 00:42:12,154
A dealer might think something was funny
636
00:42:12,238 --> 00:42:14,531
if he called and found
we were using different names.
637
00:42:19,704 --> 00:42:21,538
- Home, sweet home.
- Yeah.
638
00:42:22,457 --> 00:42:23,498
Not bad, either.
639
00:42:31,466 --> 00:42:33,842
In case there's any doubt in your mind,
I'll take the bedroom.
640
00:42:34,302 --> 00:42:35,177
Yeah.
641
00:42:36,471 --> 00:42:37,846
Sure is stuffy in here.
642
00:42:45,980 --> 00:42:47,689
- Keep the window shut.
- Okay.
643
00:42:50,026 --> 00:42:53,487
The old crow downstairs said
there's a folding bed behind this door.
644
00:42:59,535 --> 00:43:00,702
You know how to work it?
645
00:43:04,457 --> 00:43:05,540
I invented it.
646
00:43:09,504 --> 00:43:11,630
- Some joint.
- One can't have everything.
647
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,387
I'm first in the bathtub.
648
00:43:19,180 --> 00:43:22,140
I don't know why,
but I figured you would be.
649
00:43:31,985 --> 00:43:35,570
Boy, oh, boy. [sighs]
It sure feels good to be clean again.
650
00:43:36,948 --> 00:43:38,407
I must be ten pounds lighter.
651
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:40,450
You must be.
652
00:43:40,535 --> 00:43:42,077
[saxophone playing]
653
00:43:42,161 --> 00:43:45,372
Well, hitchin' rides isn't exactly the way
you keep your schoolgirl complexion.
654
00:43:49,585 --> 00:43:51,712
I wish that guy with the sax
would give up.
655
00:43:53,089 --> 00:43:54,423
It gets on my nerves.
656
00:43:56,509 --> 00:43:57,509
Forget it.
657
00:44:00,138 --> 00:44:01,179
Have a drink.
658
00:44:02,390 --> 00:44:04,141
Aren't you afraid
I'm gonna take you up on it?
659
00:44:06,269 --> 00:44:08,562
If I didn't wanna give you a drink,
I wouldn't have offered it.
660
00:44:09,731 --> 00:44:12,983
Why be a sorehead, Roberts?
You got yourself into this thing.
661
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:15,902
You should be grateful
I'm not turning you in.
662
00:44:16,904 --> 00:44:19,114
Why, if I wasn't regular,
you'd be in the pen this minute
663
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:22,284
being photographed, fingerprinted,
and being pushed around by the cops.
664
00:44:23,077 --> 00:44:25,620
So cheer up. Get rid of that long puss.
665
00:44:27,874 --> 00:44:29,666
Or is your conscience bothering you?
666
00:44:34,672 --> 00:44:35,505
No.
667
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:37,382
It isn't.
668
00:44:37,467 --> 00:44:39,468
Swell. That's the spirit.
669
00:44:41,012 --> 00:44:43,180
He's dead,
and no moaning around will bring him back.
670
00:44:46,684 --> 00:44:50,312
Anyway, I never could understand this worrying
about something that's over and done with.
671
00:44:50,396 --> 00:44:52,439
Now look, Vera.
For the last time, I didn't kill him.
672
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:53,982
Haskell was a sick man.
673
00:44:54,067 --> 00:44:56,109
Maybe he was dead before he fell
out of the car. I don't know.
674
00:44:56,194 --> 00:44:58,403
Sure, sure. He died of old age.
675
00:44:59,364 --> 00:45:00,364
All right.
676
00:45:01,324 --> 00:45:02,824
So if it'll make you sociable...
677
00:45:04,577 --> 00:45:05,827
you didn't kill him.
678
00:45:16,464 --> 00:45:17,297
Thanks.
679
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:31,186
- We're outta liquor, Roberts.
- Yeah.
680
00:45:32,313 --> 00:45:35,440
Too bad.
I felt like getting tight tonight.
681
00:45:35,525 --> 00:45:37,567
Well, I think you succeeded.
682
00:45:37,652 --> 00:45:40,737
- Am I tight?
- As a prima donna's corset.
683
00:45:40,822 --> 00:45:42,197
- That's good.
- [glass clatters]
684
00:45:42,281 --> 00:45:44,074
I wanted to get tight.
685
00:45:44,158 --> 00:45:46,785
Why? What have you got to get tight about?
686
00:45:46,869 --> 00:45:49,246
Oh, I don't know. A few things.
687
00:45:50,123 --> 00:45:50,956
[Al] Huh.
688
00:45:52,583 --> 00:45:54,042
You should have my worries.
689
00:45:54,127 --> 00:45:56,670
If I had your troubles, I'd stay sober.
690
00:45:56,754 --> 00:45:58,380
And I've got the key to that door.
691
00:46:01,926 --> 00:46:04,678
Yeah. Maybe you're right.
692
00:46:04,762 --> 00:46:06,388
I'm always right.
693
00:46:07,723 --> 00:46:10,183
You know, I don't like your attitude,
Roberts.
694
00:46:10,268 --> 00:46:12,018
Well, there's a lot of things I don't like.
695
00:46:13,479 --> 00:46:14,813
Say...
696
00:46:17,191 --> 00:46:19,276
But life's like a ball game.
697
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,111
You got to take a swing
at whatever comes along
698
00:46:21,195 --> 00:46:23,613
before you wake up
and find it's the ninth inning.
699
00:46:24,532 --> 00:46:25,782
Bet you read that somewhere.
700
00:46:25,867 --> 00:46:29,703
That's the trouble with you, Roberts.
All you do is bellyache.
701
00:46:30,788 --> 00:46:35,500
You could have taken it easy and,
well, try and make the best of things.
702
00:46:35,585 --> 00:46:38,378
But maybe that's what's wrong
with the whole world.
703
00:46:38,463 --> 00:46:40,297
Get the professor.
704
00:46:40,381 --> 00:46:43,133
People knock themselves out
trying to buck fate.
705
00:46:43,217 --> 00:46:46,386
Now take you, for instance.
You're lucky to be alive.
706
00:46:46,471 --> 00:46:49,055
Why, suppose Haskell had pulled open
your door?
707
00:46:49,140 --> 00:46:51,850
You'd be playing a harp now.
Think of that.
708
00:46:53,603 --> 00:46:56,855
You think of it. I'm tired of thinking.
709
00:46:56,939 --> 00:46:59,816
There's plenty of people dying this minute
710
00:46:59,901 --> 00:47:02,402
that would give anything
to trade places with you.
711
00:47:04,363 --> 00:47:05,989
I know what I'm talking about.
712
00:47:07,033 --> 00:47:10,744
I'm not so sure.
At least they know they're done for.
713
00:47:10,828 --> 00:47:13,580
They don't just sweat blood
wondering if they are.
714
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:16,750
Your philosophy stinks, pal.
715
00:47:18,002 --> 00:47:21,796
We all know we're gonna kick off someday.
It's only a question of when.
716
00:47:23,591 --> 00:47:26,551
But what got us on this subject anyway?
717
00:47:26,636 --> 00:47:28,553
We'll be discussing politics next.
718
00:47:29,388 --> 00:47:30,472
Yeah.
719
00:47:32,058 --> 00:47:33,433
Where'd you hide the butts?
720
00:47:34,310 --> 00:47:35,936
On the table, sucker.
721
00:47:43,611 --> 00:47:47,113
[Al narrating] We bored each other with
conversation for a couple of hours longer.
722
00:47:47,198 --> 00:47:50,408
Every five minutes, one of us was wishing
we had another bottle or a radio
723
00:47:50,493 --> 00:47:52,118
or something to read.
724
00:47:53,538 --> 00:47:55,247
Then finally we ran out of chat.
725
00:47:56,207 --> 00:47:57,499
I know it's only eleven o'clock,
726
00:47:57,583 --> 00:48:00,085
but I want to get up early
and make the rounds to the used car lots.
727
00:48:00,169 --> 00:48:03,088
No hurry about that.
We got all the time in the world.
728
00:48:03,172 --> 00:48:05,257
Maybe you have, but if you think
I want to stay cooped up in this place
729
00:48:05,341 --> 00:48:06,925
any longer than I have to, you're batty.
730
00:48:07,009 --> 00:48:10,262
It's not a bad place. Pay plenty
for diggings like this in New York.
731
00:48:10,346 --> 00:48:12,347
I wouldn't like it if it was the Ritz.
732
00:48:12,431 --> 00:48:14,849
[coughs]
733
00:48:16,602 --> 00:48:18,144
Rotten liquor. [coughs]
734
00:48:18,229 --> 00:48:20,981
You got a mean cough.
Ought to do something about it.
735
00:48:21,065 --> 00:48:22,315
I'll be all right.
736
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,817
That's what Camille said.
737
00:48:24,527 --> 00:48:25,652
Who?
738
00:48:25,736 --> 00:48:27,195
Nobody you know.
739
00:48:30,908 --> 00:48:33,368
- Wasn't that the dame that died of consumption?
- Yeah.
740
00:48:34,704 --> 00:48:37,289
Wouldn't it be a break for you
if I did kick off.
741
00:48:37,373 --> 00:48:40,333
You'd be free
with all Haskell's dough and car.
742
00:48:40,418 --> 00:48:42,043
I don't want to see anybody die.
743
00:48:43,212 --> 00:48:44,921
Not even me?
744
00:48:45,006 --> 00:48:48,008
Especially not you. One person died on me.
745
00:48:48,092 --> 00:48:50,510
If you did, well, that's all I need.
746
00:48:52,388 --> 00:48:54,222
You don't like me, do you, Roberts?
747
00:48:55,933 --> 00:48:56,975
Like you?
748
00:48:58,352 --> 00:48:59,769
I love you.
749
00:49:01,022 --> 00:49:02,981
My favorite sport is being kept prisoner.
750
00:49:04,025 --> 00:49:07,485
After we sell the car, you can go to blazes
for all I care, but not until then.
751
00:49:14,910 --> 00:49:16,536
I'm going to bed.
752
00:49:24,962 --> 00:49:26,463
Good night, Roberts.
753
00:49:26,547 --> 00:49:29,549
Don't try and sneak away during the night.
All the doors are locked.
754
00:49:29,634 --> 00:49:33,136
Anyway, if I find you gone in the morning,
I'll notify the police.
755
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:35,889
- They'll pick you up.
- Don't worry. I know when I'm in a spot.
756
00:49:36,974 --> 00:49:40,935
Well, good night. I hope that portable
rack isn't too uncomfortable for you.
757
00:49:41,020 --> 00:49:43,146
Don't lose any sleep over it,
will you, Vera?
758
00:49:44,940 --> 00:49:47,025
[key scratching lock]
759
00:50:20,601 --> 00:50:21,935
[softly] CRestview...
760
00:50:23,813 --> 00:50:29,651
6... 5... 7,
761
00:50:29,735 --> 00:50:32,654
[whispers] 2... 3.
762
00:50:33,948 --> 00:50:35,073
Hello?
763
00:50:36,117 --> 00:50:37,117
Hello!
764
00:50:38,327 --> 00:50:39,411
Hello?
765
00:50:40,579 --> 00:50:41,746
Hello?
766
00:50:48,295 --> 00:50:51,881
No. Not yet, darling.
767
00:50:53,134 --> 00:50:54,509
Tomorrow.
768
00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:56,928
Maybe.
769
00:51:00,391 --> 00:51:01,891
[Al narrating] if this were fiction,
770
00:51:01,976 --> 00:51:05,562
I would fall in love with her, marry her,
and make a respectable woman of her,
771
00:51:05,646 --> 00:51:09,816
or else she'd make some supreme,
class-A sacrifice for me and die.
772
00:51:11,152 --> 00:51:13,361
Sue and I would ball a little
over her grave
773
00:51:13,446 --> 00:51:16,448
and make some crack about
"there's good in all of us."
774
00:51:16,532 --> 00:51:20,160
But Vera, unfortunately,
was just as rotten in the morning
775
00:51:20,244 --> 00:51:21,870
as she'd been the night before.
776
00:51:21,954 --> 00:51:23,455
[knocking]
777
00:51:23,539 --> 00:51:25,415
All right, all right, I'm coming.
778
00:51:25,499 --> 00:51:27,459
[Al] Look, Vera, it's almost noon.
779
00:51:29,003 --> 00:51:31,254
So what?
The dealers will be there all day.
780
00:51:31,338 --> 00:51:34,007
They'll be there all year too, but it
doesn't mean I'm gonna wait that long.
781
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:36,551
Shut up.
You're making noises like a husband.
782
00:51:39,180 --> 00:51:42,932
- Well, do I rate a whistle?
- You sure do, but let's go.
783
00:51:43,017 --> 00:51:46,519
Let's go, let's go. I spend 85 bucks
and two hours preparing bait,
784
00:51:46,604 --> 00:51:48,188
and all you can say is "Let's go."
785
00:51:48,272 --> 00:51:51,274
[sighs] Come on.
786
00:51:56,071 --> 00:51:58,698
We passed a few used car lots
last night down this way.
787
00:51:58,783 --> 00:52:00,784
What do you think
we can get for this heap?
788
00:52:00,868 --> 00:52:04,496
I don't know. Plenty.
You just let me handle everything.
789
00:52:04,580 --> 00:52:06,206
You think we can get $2,000?
790
00:52:06,290 --> 00:52:07,707
I don't know. But don't worry.
791
00:52:07,792 --> 00:52:10,126
I'll squeeze as much
out of this guy as I can.
792
00:52:10,211 --> 00:52:13,296
If I let it go cheap without a fight,
he might think we've stolen the car.
793
00:52:13,380 --> 00:52:17,675
And listen, don't make any slips
and call me Roberts. That'll cook us.
794
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,636
I don't need you to tell me that.
795
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:21,930
You better just sit by
and keep your mouth closed.
796
00:52:22,014 --> 00:52:24,015
Remember, we're both in the soup
if anything happens.
797
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:25,642
Forget it and drive.
798
00:52:25,726 --> 00:52:28,144
You're my wife... Vera Haskell.
799
00:52:28,229 --> 00:52:32,315
Look, after the deal's closed, let's go
back to that place on Hollywood Boulevard
800
00:52:32,399 --> 00:52:33,942
where I saw the fur jacket.
801
00:52:34,026 --> 00:52:35,235
I want to buy it.
802
00:52:35,319 --> 00:52:37,987
After the deal's closed,
I'm saying good-bye to you.
803
00:52:38,072 --> 00:52:41,491
That's right. I forgot.
I guess I'm getting kind of used to you.
804
00:52:42,743 --> 00:52:45,036
Well, that's a habit
you can start breaking.
805
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,455
Let's try this place
in the middle of the block.
806
00:52:53,671 --> 00:52:55,129
Good afternoon. What can I do for you?
807
00:52:55,214 --> 00:52:58,508
- We're interested in selling a car.
- If the price is right.
808
00:53:01,387 --> 00:53:05,473
Well, if it's in good mechanical condition,
it should blue book for about 1,600.
809
00:53:06,475 --> 00:53:07,892
Tony, take a look at this motor.
810
00:53:07,977 --> 00:53:10,228
1,600. Are you kidding?
811
00:53:14,108 --> 00:53:15,900
[car hood opening]
812
00:53:21,448 --> 00:53:23,283
Well, maybe 1,850.
813
00:53:23,367 --> 00:53:26,744
Before I let it go for 1,850, I'll wreck it
and collect the insurance first.
814
00:53:26,829 --> 00:53:27,912
[coughs]
815
00:53:31,375 --> 00:53:33,376
Lady, this motor's seen a lot of driving.
816
00:53:39,925 --> 00:53:43,219
[Al narrating] While the mechanic
inspected the car, we haggled.
817
00:53:43,721 --> 00:53:46,973
At last, when we were all worn out,
we hit a compromise...
818
00:53:47,057 --> 00:53:48,600
his price.
819
00:53:51,896 --> 00:53:53,104
Okay, it's a deal.
820
00:53:53,188 --> 00:53:56,524
- Come in, we'll sign the papers.
- I have the ownership papers here with me.
821
00:53:56,609 --> 00:53:59,319
Look, Vera, in the meantime,
will you clean out the dash compartment?
822
00:53:59,403 --> 00:54:02,196
- There may be some stuff in it.
- All right, darling.
823
00:54:04,325 --> 00:54:06,534
1,850 bucks.
824
00:54:06,619 --> 00:54:08,244
That dirty cr...
825
00:54:15,544 --> 00:54:17,420
- Mm, New York, huh?
- Yeah.
826
00:54:17,504 --> 00:54:20,757
- But you bought the car in Miami?
- Yeah.
827
00:54:20,841 --> 00:54:22,467
Well, now, let's see about the insurance.
828
00:54:22,551 --> 00:54:24,552
We can either have it transferred
or canceled.
829
00:54:24,637 --> 00:54:27,263
Uh, what kind of insurance do you have,
Mr. Haskell?
830
00:54:28,432 --> 00:54:31,559
Well, uh, aren't all the papers there?
831
00:54:33,729 --> 00:54:37,857
I don't see any. Surely you know what type
of insurance you carry on the car.
832
00:54:37,942 --> 00:54:39,442
The name of the company?
833
00:54:40,277 --> 00:54:41,486
Yeah, but, uh...
834
00:54:41,570 --> 00:54:43,321
Well, if you'll just tell me
the name of the company,
835
00:54:43,405 --> 00:54:45,114
I'd be very glad to take care
of all the details.
836
00:54:45,199 --> 00:54:46,324
Well...
837
00:54:46,408 --> 00:54:48,409
- Did you sign the papers yet?
- Not yet.
838
00:54:48,494 --> 00:54:50,536
Well, don't. We're not selling the car.
839
00:54:50,621 --> 00:54:52,538
- Well, wait a minute, Mrs. Haskell...
- Come on, darling.
840
00:54:52,623 --> 00:54:55,917
- What's the matter? Change your mind?
- Yes. I'm sorry. I guess I have.
841
00:54:56,001 --> 00:54:57,377
- But, Vera...
- Let's go.
842
00:55:03,384 --> 00:55:06,636
You got me out of a tight spot, Vera,
but I still don't understand all this.
843
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:09,722
You will in a minute.
I almost threw away a gold mine.
844
00:55:09,807 --> 00:55:13,726
1,850 isn't to be sneezed at. The car
doesn't book for as much as I thought.
845
00:55:13,811 --> 00:55:15,478
We're not selling the car.
846
00:55:15,562 --> 00:55:17,438
You want to keep it?
Now wait a minute, Vera.
847
00:55:17,523 --> 00:55:20,608
You said yourself I wouldn't be safe
until the car was in someone else's name.
848
00:55:20,693 --> 00:55:22,360
I'd like to be free of this mess
when I go.
849
00:55:22,444 --> 00:55:24,612
That's just it, Roberts. You're not going.
850
00:55:25,531 --> 00:55:27,365
- [sighs]
- There's a drive-in at the next corner.
851
00:55:27,449 --> 00:55:30,201
Pull in there and we'll get a bite to eat
and I'll explain.
852
00:55:30,285 --> 00:55:32,453
What is this,
another one of your brilliant ideas?
853
00:55:38,794 --> 00:55:41,671
- Hello. May I take your order?
- Make mine a ham sandwich and coffee.
854
00:55:41,755 --> 00:55:44,340
- And for you, sir?
- Oh, I don't care. The same.
855
00:55:46,510 --> 00:55:47,719
Thank you.
856
00:55:52,224 --> 00:55:55,226
Get this, Vera,
I've been pretty patient so far.
857
00:55:55,310 --> 00:55:57,311
I've done everything you asked me to do,
but no more.
858
00:55:57,396 --> 00:55:59,564
- Shut up.
- You've taken Haskell's money.
859
00:55:59,648 --> 00:56:01,524
And you can have the dough we get
from selling the car,
860
00:56:01,608 --> 00:56:03,192
but you're not gonna keep me a prisoner.
861
00:56:03,277 --> 00:56:05,069
It's a good thing I bought the paper.
Look at that.
862
00:56:05,154 --> 00:56:07,030
- Vera, I'm in no mood...
- Read that.
863
00:56:17,708 --> 00:56:19,292
- No.
- Yes.
864
00:56:19,376 --> 00:56:20,960
- No, I won't do it.
- Yes, you will.
865
00:56:21,045 --> 00:56:23,254
You think I'm crazy.
It's impossible, I tell ya.
866
00:56:24,131 --> 00:56:25,173
Excuse me.
867
00:56:30,637 --> 00:56:32,138
Blow the horn when you're through.
868
00:56:35,350 --> 00:56:38,561
No one could possibly get away with an act
like that. Be wise to me in a minute.
869
00:56:38,645 --> 00:56:39,812
Don't be yellow.
870
00:56:39,897 --> 00:56:42,690
You look enough like him.
The same coloring and the same build.
871
00:56:42,775 --> 00:56:44,358
See how his clothes fit ya?
872
00:56:44,443 --> 00:56:46,235
No kidding. You almost
had me fooled for a while.
873
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:47,528
Oh, grow up, Vera.
874
00:56:47,613 --> 00:56:50,406
Don't you think a father knows his own
son? There must be other relatives.
875
00:56:50,491 --> 00:56:53,326
The father won't have to know ya.
We'll wait till he gives up the ghost.
876
00:56:53,410 --> 00:56:55,411
He's an old geezer
and he won't pull through.
877
00:56:55,496 --> 00:56:59,373
And as far as the relatives are concerned,
they haven't seen you in 15 or 20 years.
878
00:57:00,876 --> 00:57:02,585
- Eat.
- I'm not hungry.
879
00:57:03,253 --> 00:57:06,130
- And I won't do it.
- It's not as tough as it sounds.
880
00:57:06,215 --> 00:57:08,049
Remember, you've got
all kinds of identification...
881
00:57:08,133 --> 00:57:09,133
his car, letters, license...
882
00:57:09,218 --> 00:57:11,761
I could never get away with it.
It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
883
00:57:11,845 --> 00:57:13,888
The old boy has scads of dough.
884
00:57:13,972 --> 00:57:17,141
Look in the paper there. Personal fortune
assessed at over 15 million.
885
00:57:17,226 --> 00:57:18,684
He'll leave plenty, I tell ya.
886
00:57:18,769 --> 00:57:20,937
Maybe he cut off his son.
How do we know?
887
00:57:21,021 --> 00:57:23,606
It's out, Vera.
I won't have anything to do with it.
888
00:57:24,817 --> 00:57:27,068
I think you will.
889
00:57:27,152 --> 00:57:30,696
Look, Vera, I'll do anything
within reason, but not that.
890
00:57:30,781 --> 00:57:32,698
So forget it or find yourself another stooge.
891
00:57:32,783 --> 00:57:34,033
You sap!
892
00:57:34,785 --> 00:57:36,911
You'll be fixed for the rest of your life
as Charlie Haskell.
893
00:57:36,995 --> 00:57:40,081
You can take your inheritance and go away.
No more worrying about the rent.
894
00:57:40,165 --> 00:57:42,291
No sweating, scheming, wondering
where your next meal's coming from!
895
00:57:42,376 --> 00:57:43,417
Think about that, Roberts!
896
00:57:43,502 --> 00:57:46,295
Vera, please. You're talking too loud.
897
00:57:46,713 --> 00:57:49,298
On this I'm splitting 50-50 with you.
Sure, why not?
898
00:57:49,383 --> 00:57:51,050
We're both alike.
Both born in the same gutter.
899
00:57:51,135 --> 00:57:52,301
Now take it easy, Vera.
900
00:57:52,386 --> 00:57:54,637
There's people around here.
You don't know what you're talking...
901
00:57:55,806 --> 00:57:59,684
We'll wait till we read that old man
Haskell's dead. Then you show up.
902
00:57:59,768 --> 00:58:02,061
Like you read in New York
that he was sick.
903
00:58:02,146 --> 00:58:04,772
No! Suppose he doesn't die?
904
00:58:04,857 --> 00:58:06,941
He will. I know he will.
Something tells me.
905
00:58:09,611 --> 00:58:12,405
[Al narrating] But as much as I insisted
I would have no part of her scheme,
906
00:58:12,489 --> 00:58:14,448
Vera was taking it for granted I would.
907
00:58:16,535 --> 00:58:19,954
Neither of us had our mind on the cards
as we played that night.
908
00:58:20,038 --> 00:58:23,207
I knew we were just trying to kill time
between newspaper editions.
909
00:58:24,042 --> 00:58:26,002
This was a deathwatch for Vera.
910
00:58:27,129 --> 00:58:28,713
Maybe it was for me too.
911
00:58:28,797 --> 00:58:32,383
Don't you realize if I'm caught they'll want
to know where I got the car and stuff?
912
00:58:32,467 --> 00:58:35,595
- Then they'll have me on a murder charge.
- If you're smart, you won't get caught.
913
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:37,054
I knock with seven.
914
00:58:37,139 --> 00:58:39,348
And if I'm caught,
don't you realize you'll be out too?
915
00:58:39,808 --> 00:58:42,935
Eighteen points. That gives me 30.
916
00:58:44,188 --> 00:58:45,438
How will I be out?
917
00:58:45,522 --> 00:58:47,982
You'll be out $1,850 we would have gotten
on the car.
918
00:58:48,066 --> 00:58:49,483
Really, Vera, you'd be an awful chump
919
00:58:49,568 --> 00:58:51,569
if you threw away all that dough
on a dizzy long shot.
920
00:58:51,653 --> 00:58:52,904
Let me sell the bus tomorrow.
921
00:58:52,988 --> 00:58:54,655
With the money it'll bring
and what you've already got,
922
00:58:54,740 --> 00:58:56,449
a clever kid like you
can run it up in no time.
923
00:58:56,533 --> 00:58:59,035
- Then we'd both be in the clear.
- I'll be in the clear anyway.
924
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:00,912
Maybe. Maybe.
925
00:59:00,996 --> 00:59:02,580
But if I got caught...
926
00:59:03,540 --> 00:59:06,083
- I'd get good and sore at you, you know.
- You mean you'd squeal?
927
00:59:06,168 --> 00:59:08,377
- Well, no, not squeal exactly...
- Never mind what you meant!
928
00:59:11,048 --> 00:59:14,425
Even if you did tell the cops
I was in on it with you,
929
00:59:14,509 --> 00:59:15,885
what could they do to me?
930
00:59:16,929 --> 00:59:19,347
They might give me the same medicine
they gave you.
931
00:59:19,431 --> 00:59:21,140
- Yeah.
- A rope.
932
00:59:23,644 --> 00:59:25,770
But I'm on my way anyhow.
933
00:59:27,731 --> 00:59:29,732
All they'll be doing will be rushing it.
934
00:59:30,359 --> 00:59:32,818
All right. But think of the 1,850 you'd lose.
935
00:59:32,903 --> 00:59:35,655
You'd kick yourself along the block
if you let that get away from you.
936
00:59:35,739 --> 00:59:38,658
I'll take the chance. Want another drink?
937
00:59:38,742 --> 00:59:41,744
You're being a goon. That's the way
people wind up behind the eight ball.
938
00:59:41,828 --> 00:59:44,330
Once they get a few dollars,
they become greedy and want more.
939
00:59:44,414 --> 00:59:45,706
My, my.
940
00:59:45,791 --> 00:59:46,791
- Caesar.
- Who?
941
00:59:46,875 --> 00:59:49,585
You know, that Roman general?
He got his for being greedy.
942
00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:52,838
He wasn't satisfied.
So the final windup was he took the count.
943
00:59:52,923 --> 00:59:55,299
A couple of days ago you didn't have a dime.
944
00:59:55,384 --> 00:59:58,219
Why, you were so broke
you couldn't pay cash for a postage stamp.
945
00:59:58,303 --> 01:00:01,347
Now you've got almost $700,
with 1,850 in the offing.
946
01:00:01,431 --> 01:00:03,099
Take my advice. Don't try for more.
947
01:00:03,183 --> 01:00:05,768
I'm tired of this game.
Let's have some blackjack.
948
01:00:05,852 --> 01:00:06,686
Play solitaire.
949
01:00:06,770 --> 01:00:09,313
- I will, if that's the way you feel about it.
- That's the way I feel about it.
950
01:00:09,398 --> 01:00:11,607
Getting sore and throwing things
won't help much, Roberts.
951
01:00:11,692 --> 01:00:15,111
I'm merely doing you a favor. I help you out of
a jam by keepin' my mouth shut.
952
01:00:15,195 --> 01:00:18,072
I show you how to make some soft money,
and what thanks do I get?
953
01:00:18,156 --> 01:00:19,156
- Thanks?
- Sure.
954
01:00:19,241 --> 01:00:21,659
Or would you rather I called the cops and told
them you killed a man and stole his money?
955
01:00:21,743 --> 01:00:22,827
- I didn't kill anybody.
- Yes, you did.
956
01:00:22,911 --> 01:00:25,705
- No, I didn't. You know I didn't.
- All right, then.
957
01:00:28,542 --> 01:00:30,251
Suppose I call the cops?
958
01:00:30,335 --> 01:00:32,920
If you're innocent,
what do you got to be scared of?
959
01:00:33,005 --> 01:00:36,590
Okay, call 'em, you mutt. Go ahead and call 'em.
See if I care.
960
01:00:36,675 --> 01:00:39,552
- At least they'll give me a square deal.
- You want me to call 'em?
961
01:00:39,636 --> 01:00:43,597
You heard me. But I'm warning ya.
If I'm pinched, I'll swear you were in on it.
962
01:00:43,682 --> 01:00:46,976
I'll say that you helped me.
If I'm frying, I'll get even with you.
963
01:00:47,060 --> 01:00:48,686
You wouldn't dare. You're chicken!
964
01:00:48,770 --> 01:00:52,815
Yeah? Then try it and see.
Call 'em. Yeah.
965
01:00:53,650 --> 01:00:55,067
Okay, I will.
966
01:00:57,112 --> 01:01:00,489
[dialing]
967
01:01:07,706 --> 01:01:09,915
Information.
968
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,835
I want the number
of the Hollywood police station.
969
01:01:14,713 --> 01:01:16,756
Okay, I got it. Thanks.
970
01:01:17,966 --> 01:01:19,592
[phone hook clicks]
971
01:01:19,676 --> 01:01:21,677
- [dialing]
- Wait a minute, Vera. You wouldn't do that.
972
01:01:21,762 --> 01:01:23,721
Oh, wouldn't I? Give me that
and I'll show you if I would!
973
01:01:23,805 --> 01:01:25,681
Take it easy now. Let's talk this over.
974
01:01:25,766 --> 01:01:27,558
[Al narrating]
This was early in the evening.
975
01:01:27,642 --> 01:01:32,146
And the conversation, while hectic,
was at least pitched low.
976
01:01:32,230 --> 01:01:36,776
But as the minutes passed and more obstacles
to her plan popped into my head,
977
01:01:36,860 --> 01:01:38,486
the air got blue.
978
01:01:38,570 --> 01:01:41,822
Each word coming from our lips
cracked like a whip.
979
01:01:41,907 --> 01:01:45,785
I reminded her that as Charles Haskell
I didn't even know my mother's name,
980
01:01:45,869 --> 01:01:47,578
where I'd gone to school,
981
01:01:47,662 --> 01:01:49,413
the name of my best friend,
982
01:01:49,498 --> 01:01:51,415
whether I had an Aunt Emma or not,
983
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:54,794
my religion, and if I'd ever owned a dog.
984
01:01:54,878 --> 01:01:57,463
I didn't even know
what my middle initial stood for.
985
01:01:57,547 --> 01:02:00,925
I also pointed out that the real Haskell
had a scar on his forearm.
986
01:02:01,510 --> 01:02:03,302
His people never saw that scar.
987
01:02:03,387 --> 01:02:05,596
He told me he ran away
right after putting out the kid's eye.
988
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,140
Yeah, but his father knew he was cut.
There'd have to be some kind of mark.
989
01:02:08,225 --> 01:02:10,434
So what?
990
01:02:10,519 --> 01:02:14,438
The old man's dead or will be.
I hope by tomorrow morning's papers.
991
01:02:14,523 --> 01:02:18,025
Anyway, you could cut yourself
a little, couldn't ya?
992
01:02:19,027 --> 01:02:22,321
Boy, for that kind of dough,
I'd let you cut my leg off.
993
01:02:22,406 --> 01:02:23,989
You're drunk and you're crazy mad, Vera.
994
01:02:24,074 --> 01:02:26,033
Turn me in if you want to,
but I won't get mixed up in this.
995
01:02:26,118 --> 01:02:28,160
Besides, how do we know?
Haskell was such a phony.
996
01:02:28,245 --> 01:02:30,371
Maybe he wasn't the man's son at all.
Maybe he just dreamed it up.
997
01:02:30,455 --> 01:02:35,918
Well, dreaming or not, you won't be dreaming
when the law taps you on the shoulder.
998
01:02:36,002 --> 01:02:39,588
There's a cute little gas chamber
waiting for you, Roberts.
999
01:02:39,673 --> 01:02:43,134
And I hear extradition to Arizona's a cinch.
1000
01:02:43,218 --> 01:02:45,052
Where's that phone?
1001
01:02:45,137 --> 01:02:46,512
- Vera.
- Leave me alone!
1002
01:02:46,596 --> 01:02:50,057
- Vera!
- I wanna phone, call the police.
1003
01:02:50,767 --> 01:02:54,812
I hate you, you stinker.
You leave me alone!
1004
01:02:54,896 --> 01:02:57,106
I'll let you alone when you promise to leave
the phone where it is.
1005
01:02:57,190 --> 01:02:59,150
- You're drunk. You don't know what you're doing.
- You're hurting me.
1006
01:02:59,234 --> 01:03:00,860
Will you promise?
1007
01:03:00,944 --> 01:03:02,528
All right.
1008
01:03:07,492 --> 01:03:10,327
- You hurt me.
- I'm sorry, but...
1009
01:03:10,412 --> 01:03:13,372
- And it's hot in here! Open up a window!
- It's not hot!
1010
01:03:13,457 --> 01:03:16,125
Don't tell me!
Now do you do it or do I do it?
1011
01:03:18,086 --> 01:03:19,837
You're no gentleman, see?
1012
01:03:19,921 --> 01:03:23,299
Yeah. All right, I'll open up the window.
1013
01:03:26,428 --> 01:03:27,511
Vera!
1014
01:03:31,892 --> 01:03:34,643
Vera, open the door.
Please open the door.
1015
01:03:34,728 --> 01:03:36,854
Vera, open the door.
Don't use the phone. Listen to me.
1016
01:03:37,522 --> 01:03:40,983
I don't like you, Roberts.
You're no gentleman, see?
1017
01:03:41,067 --> 01:03:45,154
You hurt my hand,
and I'm gonna get even with you.
1018
01:03:45,238 --> 01:03:48,407
If you don't open the door,
I'm gonna kick it down, Vera.
1019
01:03:48,492 --> 01:03:51,368
Vera, don't call the cops.
Listen to me, I'll do anything you say.
1020
01:03:52,287 --> 01:03:53,746
Vera, let me in!
1021
01:03:55,207 --> 01:03:56,665
I'll break the phone!
1022
01:04:14,267 --> 01:04:17,269
[grunting]
1023
01:04:22,609 --> 01:04:23,943
Vera.
1024
01:04:34,579 --> 01:04:36,539
[Al narrating] The world is full of skeptics.
1025
01:04:37,290 --> 01:04:39,667
I know. I'm one myself.
1026
01:04:40,669 --> 01:04:43,712
In the Haskell business, how many of you
would believe he fell out of the car?
1027
01:04:43,797 --> 01:04:46,173
And now, after killing Vera
without really meaning to do it,
1028
01:04:46,258 --> 01:04:48,676
how many of you would believe
it wasn't premeditated?
1029
01:04:49,719 --> 01:04:53,264
In a jury room, every last man of you
would go down shouting
1030
01:04:53,348 --> 01:04:56,058
that she had me over a barrel
and my only out was force.
1031
01:04:58,103 --> 01:04:59,728
The room was still.
1032
01:05:00,730 --> 01:05:03,691
So quiet that for a while I'd wondered
if I'd suddenly gone deaf.
1033
01:05:04,484 --> 01:05:06,235
It was pure fear, of course.
1034
01:05:06,319 --> 01:05:08,195
And I was hysterical,
1035
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:09,989
but without making a sound.
1036
01:05:11,324 --> 01:05:14,285
Vera was dead, and I was her murderer.
1037
01:05:15,370 --> 01:05:19,873
Murderer. What an awful word that is.
But I'd become one.
1038
01:05:19,958 --> 01:05:22,042
I'd better not get caught.
1039
01:05:22,127 --> 01:05:24,628
What evidence there was around the place
had to be destroyed.
1040
01:05:24,713 --> 01:05:26,505
And from the looks of things, there was plenty.
1041
01:05:26,590 --> 01:05:28,299
Looking around the room at things we'd bought
1042
01:05:28,383 --> 01:05:30,801
was like looking into the faces of
a hundred people who'd seen us together
1043
01:05:30,885 --> 01:05:32,803
and who remembered me.
1044
01:05:32,887 --> 01:05:35,306
This was the kind of testimony
I couldn't rub out.
1045
01:05:36,808 --> 01:05:38,058
No.
1046
01:05:38,143 --> 01:05:41,312
I could burn clothes and hide bottles
for the next five years.
1047
01:05:41,396 --> 01:05:42,855
There'd always be witnesses.
1048
01:05:42,939 --> 01:05:44,732
The landlady for one.
She could identify me.
1049
01:05:44,816 --> 01:05:46,233
The car dealer, the waitress in the drive-in,
1050
01:05:46,318 --> 01:05:48,819
the girl in the dress shop,
and that guy in the liquor store.
1051
01:05:48,903 --> 01:05:50,696
They could all identify me.
1052
01:05:52,032 --> 01:05:55,868
I was cooked. Done for.
I had to get out of there.
1053
01:05:57,203 --> 01:05:59,330
While once I remained beside a dead body
1054
01:05:59,414 --> 01:06:02,416
planning carefully how to avoid
being accused of killing him,
1055
01:06:02,500 --> 01:06:04,752
this time I couldn't.
1056
01:06:04,836 --> 01:06:06,503
This time I was guilty.
1057
01:06:07,422 --> 01:06:09,923
I knew it. Felt it.
1058
01:06:10,967 --> 01:06:13,218
I was like a guy suffering from shock.
1059
01:06:13,303 --> 01:06:14,970
Things were whirling around in my head.
1060
01:06:15,055 --> 01:06:17,890
I couldn't make myself think right.
1061
01:06:17,974 --> 01:06:21,435
All I could think of was the guy with
the saxophone and what he was playing.
1062
01:06:22,437 --> 01:06:24,021
It wasn't a love song anymore.
1063
01:06:24,814 --> 01:06:26,565
It was a dirge.

[jukebox: up-tempo band music]
1065
01:07:14,197 --> 01:07:16,615
[Al narrating]
But my problems weren't solved.
1066
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:19,493
I had to stay away from New York
for all time.
1067
01:07:20,328 --> 01:07:23,622
Because Al Roberts was listed as dead
and had to stay dead.
1068
01:07:24,332 --> 01:07:25,999
And I could never go back to Hollywood.
1069
01:07:26,835 --> 01:07:28,794
Someone might recognize me as Haskell.
1070
01:07:30,130 --> 01:07:33,048
- Then, too, there was Sue.
- [music stops]
1071
01:07:34,467 --> 01:07:37,803
I could never go to her with a thing
like this hanging over my head.
1072
01:07:39,180 --> 01:07:42,474
All I could do was pray she'd be happy.
1073
01:07:53,486 --> 01:07:57,656
I was in Bakersfield before I read
that Vera's body was discovered.
1074
01:07:57,741 --> 01:08:01,368
And that the police were looking for Haskell
in connection with his wife's murder.
1075
01:08:02,871 --> 01:08:04,413
Isn't that a laugh?
1076
01:08:05,081 --> 01:08:09,001
Haskell got me into this mess
and Haskell was getting me out of it.
1077
01:08:09,085 --> 01:08:11,170
The police were searching for a dead man.
1078
01:08:14,674 --> 01:08:16,884
I keep trying to forget what happened...
1079
01:08:18,261 --> 01:08:22,973
and wonder what my life might have been
if that car of Haskell's hadn't stopped.
1080
01:08:24,768 --> 01:08:26,935
But one thing I don't have to wonder about.
1081
01:08:28,146 --> 01:08:29,605
I know.
1082
01:08:31,107 --> 01:08:34,234
Someday a car will stop to pick me up
that I never thumbed.
1083
01:08:38,990 --> 01:08:39,865
Yes.
1084
01:08:40,742 --> 01:08:44,411
Fate... or some mysterious force
1085
01:08:44,496 --> 01:08:47,414
can put the finger on you or me
1086
01:08:47,499 --> 01:08:49,500
for no good reason at all.

Al Roberts, an unemployed piano player, hitches a ride, arriving at a roadside diner in Reno, Nevada. Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.
Al recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.
In Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.
Al realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.
Al crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.
In Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.
Back at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.
Al gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of "his wife." Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest.

- East.
- Too bad.

I might be able to help you out.

and I don't like to ride alone at night.

I'm one of those guys that gotta talk
or I fall asleep.

- Oh.
- So I gotta get my...

My partner,
he's got Lou to keep him company.
13
00:03:20,242 --> 00:03:21,909
But I ain't got nobody at all.

00:03:21,994 --> 00:03:24,620
- Where ya comin' from?
- West.

00:03:24,705 --> 00:03:27,331
Yeah, sure, I know,
but where? LA?

00:03:27,416 --> 00:03:29,792
- Maybe.
- Got a cousin out in LA.

- Yeah, he's been out...

21
00:03:38,510 --> 00:03:42,430
Okay, okay. Don't get sore.
Just trying to be sociable, that's all.
22
00:03:43,891 --> 00:03:45,308
- Hey, Glamorous.
- [coin clatters]
23
00:03:45,392 --> 00:03:47,018
Give me change for a dime, will ya?
24
00:03:51,899 --> 00:03:54,233
- [register rings]
- [coin clatters]
25
00:03:56,778 --> 00:03:58,821
Let's have something quieter this time, Joe.
26
00:03:58,906 --> 00:04:00,907
- My head's splitting.
- Is that what's wrong with it?
27
00:04:00,991 --> 00:04:02,450
[chuckles softly]
28
00:04:04,161 --> 00:04:07,747
- Done with your coffee?
- No. And don't rush me, will ya?
29
00:04:07,831 --> 00:04:11,250
[jukebox: new song plays, up-tempo]
30
00:04:15,172 --> 00:04:17,173
Hey, turn that off.
Will ya turn that thing off?
31
00:04:17,257 --> 00:04:19,050
- What's eating you now?
- Yeah, what's eating you?
32
00:04:19,134 --> 00:04:21,052
- That music. It stinks!
- Oh, you don't like it, huh?
33
00:04:21,136 --> 00:04:23,220
- No, turn it off!
- Now wait a minute, pal.
34
00:04:23,305 --> 00:04:24,972
That was my nickel, see?
35
00:04:25,057 --> 00:04:28,059
This is a free country,
and I play whatever I want to.
36
00:04:29,603 --> 00:04:30,645
Okay.
37
00:04:30,729 --> 00:04:33,022
Sure. And if you don't like,
you don't have to listen to it.
38
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:35,066
And you can leave here anytime you wanna.
39
00:04:35,150 --> 00:04:36,692
Okay, okay. I'm sorry I asked.
40
00:04:36,777 --> 00:04:38,986
First good piece played tonight,
and you don't like it.
41
00:04:39,071 --> 00:04:41,489
Some people just ain't got any good taste.
42
00:04:44,076 --> 00:04:47,161
[music continues]
43
00:04:52,751 --> 00:04:55,962
[thinking] That tune. That tune!
44
00:04:56,046 --> 00:04:58,297
Why was there always that rotten tune?
45
00:04:58,382 --> 00:05:01,175
Following me around, beating in my head,
never letting up.
46
00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:07,181
Did you ever wanna forget anything?
47
00:05:07,599 --> 00:05:10,518
Did you ever wanna cut away
a piece of your memory or blot it out?
48
00:05:10,978 --> 00:05:14,397
You can't, you know?
No matter how hard you try.
49
00:05:14,481 --> 00:05:16,440
You can change the scenery,
50
00:05:16,525 --> 00:05:18,609
but sooner or later
you'll get a whiff of perfume,
51
00:05:18,694 --> 00:05:21,195
or somebody will say a certain phrase
or maybe hum something.
52
00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:23,531
Then you're licked again.
53
00:05:25,575 --> 00:05:27,994
"I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me."
54
00:05:28,078 --> 00:05:29,954
I used to love that song once.
55
00:05:30,038 --> 00:05:33,124
So did the customers back in the old
Break O' Dawn Club in New York.
56
00:05:33,625 --> 00:05:36,711
I can't remember a night when I didn't get
at least three requests for it.
57
00:05:37,504 --> 00:05:40,756
Sue, she was always selling it too.
58
00:05:41,258 --> 00:05:42,550
Those were the days.
59
00:05:42,634 --> 00:05:44,635
[song continues]
60
00:05:48,598 --> 00:05:51,559
[song continues, live combo playing]
61
00:06:07,701 --> 00:06:11,245
# Your eyes of blue
Your kisses too #
62
00:06:11,329 --> 00:06:14,123
# I never knew what they could do #
63
00:06:14,207 --> 00:06:19,420
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
64
00:06:19,963 --> 00:06:23,132
# You're telling everyone you know #
65
00:06:23,216 --> 00:06:26,343
# That I'm on your mind each place you go #
66
00:06:26,428 --> 00:06:31,223
# They can't believe
That you're in love with me #
67
00:06:32,392 --> 00:06:38,189
# I have always placed you far above me #
68
00:06:38,273 --> 00:06:43,778
# I just can't imagine that you love me #
69
00:06:43,862 --> 00:06:47,073
# And after all is said and done #
70
00:06:47,157 --> 00:06:50,284
# To think that I'm the lucky one #
71
00:06:50,368 --> 00:06:55,748
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
72
00:07:02,631 --> 00:07:04,715
[Al narrating] It wasn't much of a club, really.
73
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,300
You know the kind.
74
00:07:06,384 --> 00:07:08,385
A joint where you could have a sandwich
and a few drinks,
75
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:11,055
and run interference for your girl
on the dance floor.
76
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:15,101
- [playing romantic melody]
- I fronted the piano in there every night
77
00:07:15,185 --> 00:07:17,311
from 8:00 until the place closed up,
78
00:07:17,395 --> 00:07:19,563
which usually meant 4:00 in the morning.
79
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:22,066
A good job as jobs went in those days.
80
00:07:25,487 --> 00:07:28,739
Then, too, there was Sue,
81
00:07:28,824 --> 00:07:31,784
who made working there
a little like working in heaven.
82
00:07:32,244 --> 00:07:36,372
But how we felt about each other, well,
there was nothing very unusual in that.
83
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:39,834
I was an ordinary healthy guy,
and she was an ordinary healthy girl,
84
00:07:39,918 --> 00:07:43,170
and when you add those two together,
you get an ordinary healthy romance,
85
00:07:43,255 --> 00:07:44,672
which is the old story.
86
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:49,426
Sure. But somehow
the most wonderful thing in the world.
87
00:07:49,511 --> 00:07:51,846
[continues playing, rapidly]
88
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:59,436
All in all, I was a pretty lucky guy.
89
00:08:12,450 --> 00:08:15,494
Mr. Patterewsky, I presume?
It's beautiful.
90
00:08:15,579 --> 00:08:17,663
You're going to make Carnegie Hall yet, Al.
91
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:20,332
Yeah. As a janitor.
92
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:22,251
I'll make my debut in the basement.
93
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:26,005
I don't blame you for being bitter,
darling, but you mustn't give up hope.
94
00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:27,798
- Why, some day...
- Yeah, some day,
95
00:08:27,883 --> 00:08:29,633
if I don't get arthritis first.
96
00:08:29,718 --> 00:08:31,385
In the meantime, let's blow this trap.
97
00:08:31,469 --> 00:08:32,845
[piano lid thuds]
98
00:08:48,737 --> 00:08:49,737
[door closes]
99
00:08:51,323 --> 00:08:53,782
- Like to get something to eat, hon?
- Oh, I don't think so, Al.
100
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:56,911
I lose my appetite working in this fleabag.
101
00:08:56,995 --> 00:08:58,954
- Let's go home.
- Okay.
102
00:08:59,831 --> 00:09:02,416
I can't stand much more of that dump.
103
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:05,211
Did you see that drunk tonight
trying to paw me?
104
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:08,547
- No, what drunk?
- Does it matter what drunk?
105
00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:11,800
Say, what's the matter with you tonight, darling?
106
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:14,511
That's the third time you started
to tell me something and then stopped.
107
00:09:15,305 --> 00:09:17,806
We shouldn't have any secrets
from each other, Sue.
108
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:20,267
Next week, we're gonna make with a ring
and a license. We'll be a team.
109
00:09:20,352 --> 00:09:23,395
Yes, that's right. In the bush league.
110
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,190
- I don't get ya.
- We've been struck out.
111
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:29,276
That's a funny way to talk, darling.
112
00:09:29,361 --> 00:09:31,737
- Don't you wanna marry me?
- Al, look, I love you.
113
00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:34,198
You know I do.
And I want to marry you.
114
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:36,742
- But...?
- But not now.
115
00:09:36,826 --> 00:09:39,286
Only after we've made good.
116
00:09:39,371 --> 00:09:40,996
Sunday I'm going away.
117
00:09:41,706 --> 00:09:43,666
Oh, I know you'll think it's silly.
118
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:46,001
That's why I hesitated to tell you.
119
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:47,795
But I'm going to California.
120
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:50,297
I wanna try my luck in Hollywood.
121
00:09:50,548 --> 00:09:52,758
[Al] That's the most
stupid thing I ever heard of.
122
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:56,387
Don't you know millions of people go out there
every year and wind up polishing cuspidors?
123
00:09:56,471 --> 00:09:57,638
I thought you had better sense.
124
00:09:57,722 --> 00:09:59,598
You sound as if you think
I don't have any talent.
125
00:09:59,683 --> 00:10:02,101
- That has nothing to do with it.
- I'll make out all right.
126
00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:03,936
Maybe. But what about me?
127
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:06,563
Doesn't it mean anything to you
that you're busting up all our plans?
128
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:09,817
- We may not see each other for years?
- It won't be that long.
129
00:10:09,901 --> 00:10:12,111
- I thought you loved me.
- I do.
130
00:10:12,195 --> 00:10:13,737
You know I do.
131
00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:18,325
Well, here we are.
132
00:10:20,787 --> 00:10:21,787
Al...
133
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:25,541
Al, why can't you see my side of it?
134
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:28,294
I'm young. We both are. And...
135
00:10:28,378 --> 00:10:31,005
And we've got all the time in the world
to settle down.
136
00:10:31,715 --> 00:10:33,966
[sighs] Really, darling.
137
00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:37,303
What I'm doing is the only sane thing to do.
138
00:10:37,387 --> 00:10:40,889
[sighs] I... I hate the thought
of being so far away from you.
139
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:44,226
But... But we'll be together again some day.
140
00:10:44,311 --> 00:10:47,563
[sighs] Maybe you'll decide
to come out too, later on.
141
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:49,898
- So long.
- Al.
142
00:10:50,734 --> 00:10:53,068
Aren't you gonna kiss me good night?
143
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,237
Sure, why not?
144
00:10:57,741 --> 00:10:58,991
Good night.
145
00:11:05,248 --> 00:11:07,708
[playing romantic melody]
146
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:34,276
[playing jauntily, jazzy]
147
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:47,164
[changing rhythm, slower]
148
00:12:09,604 --> 00:12:12,231
[changing rhythm, jittery]
149
00:12:18,822 --> 00:12:21,824
[no audible dialogue]
150
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:40,717
[piano playing stops]
151
00:12:40,802 --> 00:12:42,469
- [applause]
- Say, Roberts.
152
00:12:42,554 --> 00:12:45,848
You hit the jackpot this time. Ten bucks.
153
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:47,391
Thanks.
154
00:12:53,481 --> 00:12:56,024
[Al narrating] So when this drunk handed me
a ten-spot after a request,
155
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:57,526
I couldn't get very excited.
156
00:12:57,777 --> 00:13:01,363
What was it, I asked myself?
A piece of paper crawling with germs.
157
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:03,866
Couldn't buy anything I wanted.
158
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:05,242
It couldn't...
159
00:13:08,246 --> 00:13:09,705
Then I thought of something.
160
00:13:33,104 --> 00:13:34,313
Long distance.
161
00:13:34,397 --> 00:13:36,857
I'd like to put a call through to Los Angeles.
162
00:13:36,941 --> 00:13:39,193
Miss Harvey. Sue Harvey.
163
00:13:39,277 --> 00:13:41,069
H-A-R-V-E-Y.
164
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:44,615
The number is CRestview 65723.
165
00:14:04,594 --> 00:14:06,386
- 4.50.
- [coin clatters]
166
00:14:06,471 --> 00:14:08,347
- 4.75.
- [coin clatters]
167
00:14:08,431 --> 00:14:09,431
5.00.
168
00:14:12,477 --> 00:14:15,020
Hello, Sue? This is Al.
169
00:14:15,104 --> 00:14:17,356
Oh, baby, it's great to hear from you too.
170
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,651
What's that? You do?
Oh, me too, darling.
171
00:14:20,735 --> 00:14:23,362
I thought I'd go batty without you.
I just had to...
172
00:14:23,446 --> 00:14:24,446
Huh?
173
00:14:25,406 --> 00:14:27,449
You're workin' as a hash slinger?
174
00:14:27,534 --> 00:14:28,867
Gee, honey, that's tough.
175
00:14:28,952 --> 00:14:32,371
Those guys out in Hollywood don't know
the real thing when it's right in front of them.
176
00:14:32,455 --> 00:14:34,164
You just stick it out, Sue, baby.
177
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:37,417
Keep goin' around to those casting offices.
I'm sure you'll click.
178
00:14:38,002 --> 00:14:40,629
Look, I'll tell you what.
You stay put out there. I'll come to you.
179
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:43,632
No, don't try to stop me. Just expect me.
180
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:46,760
Train? Who knows?
Train, plane, bus, magic carpet.
181
00:14:46,844 --> 00:14:50,430
I'll be there if I have to crawl.
If I have to travel by pogo stick.
182
00:14:50,515 --> 00:14:53,809
And then... let's get married right away.
183
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:59,439
That's the stuff. That's what
I've been wanting to hear you say.
184
00:15:00,525 --> 00:15:03,110
Well, good-bye for now.
185
00:15:04,362 --> 00:15:06,905
I'll be seeing you soon. [kisses]
186
00:15:07,282 --> 00:15:10,492
Yeah. [kisses] Bye.
187
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:18,500
[Al narrating] The only way I could
cross country was to thumb rides,
188
00:15:18,585 --> 00:15:21,587
for even after hocking everything,
I only had enough money to eat.
189
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:24,923
Money. You know what that is.
190
00:15:25,717 --> 00:15:27,551
It's the stuff you never have enough of.
191
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:29,720
Little green things
with George Washington's picture
192
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:33,432
that men slave for,
commit crimes for, die for.
193
00:15:34,183 --> 00:15:36,226
It's the stuff that has caused
more trouble in the world
194
00:15:36,311 --> 00:15:38,186
than anything else we ever invented,
195
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:41,273
simply because there's too little of it.
196
00:15:41,357 --> 00:15:43,442
At least I had too little of it.
197
00:15:43,526 --> 00:15:45,319
So it was me for the thumb.
198
00:16:01,753 --> 00:16:03,170
Ever done any hitchhiking?
199
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:05,881
It's not much fun, believe me.
200
00:16:06,549 --> 00:16:08,842
Oh, yeah,
I know all about how it's an education,
201
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:11,595
and how you get to meet a lot of people,
and all that.
202
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:15,849
But me, from now on
I'll take my education in college,
203
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:20,187
or in P.S. 62, or I'll send $1.98
in stamps for ten easy lessons.
204
00:16:29,447 --> 00:16:33,367
Thumbing rides may save you bus fare,
but it's dangerous.
205
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:37,954
You never know what's in store for you
when you hear the squeal of brakes.
206
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,001
If only I had known what I was getting into
that day in Arizona.
207
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:46,546
Here, throw that in the back seat.
208
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:51,301
Okay, let's go.
Make sure that door's closed.
209
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:53,553
- [door closes]
- [lock clacks]
210
00:17:05,483 --> 00:17:09,319
You know, Emily Post ought to write
a book of rules for guys thumbing rides.
211
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:13,031
Because as it is now you never know
what's right and what's wrong.
212
00:17:13,783 --> 00:17:17,285
We rode along for a little while,
neither one of us saying anything.
213
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:19,538
I was glad of that.
214
00:17:19,622 --> 00:17:22,457
I never know what to say
to strange people driving cars.
215
00:17:23,418 --> 00:17:26,545
And too, you can never tell
if a guy wants to talk.
216
00:17:26,629 --> 00:17:29,631
A lot of rides have been cut short
because of a big mouth.
217
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:34,845
So I kept my mouth shut
until he started opening up.
218
00:17:35,596 --> 00:17:38,473
Hand me that little box
in the compartment, will ya, pal?
219
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:42,936
Hold the wheel, will ya?
220
00:17:44,397 --> 00:17:45,397
[pills rattling]
221
00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:53,029
[glove box closes]
222
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:56,450
- How far are ya going?
- LA.
223
00:17:56,534 --> 00:17:58,577
Well, you're really traveling aren't ya?
224
00:17:58,661 --> 00:18:00,704
Yeah, but I don't expect to make it
for a couple years
225
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:02,372
at the rate I've been promoting rides.
226
00:18:02,457 --> 00:18:03,582
Not much luck, huh?
227
00:18:03,666 --> 00:18:05,459
Sure. All bad.
228
00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:07,753
Not many people stop for a guy these days.
229
00:18:07,837 --> 00:18:09,296
Afraid of a stickup maybe.
230
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:10,505
Ah, you can't blame 'em.
231
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:13,675
- Where ya comin' from?
- New York.
232
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,137
Well, New York. You're in luck this time.
233
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:19,139
I'm goin' all the way.
234
00:18:19,223 --> 00:18:20,807
Right through to Los Angeles.
235
00:18:22,018 --> 00:18:24,102
- You drive a car?
- Sure.
236
00:18:24,187 --> 00:18:26,897
- Whenever you're tired, let me know.
- I'll holler.
237
00:18:28,691 --> 00:18:30,776
I guess at least an hour passed
before I noticed
238
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:32,778
those deep scratches in his right hand.
239
00:18:33,237 --> 00:18:34,696
They were wicked.
240
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:37,532
Three puffy red lines
about a quarter of an inch apart.
241
00:18:38,576 --> 00:18:40,869
He must have seen me looking at them
because he said...
242
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:43,288
Beauties, aren't they?
243
00:18:44,081 --> 00:18:45,957
They're gonna be scars someday.
244
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:49,002
What an animal.
245
00:18:49,086 --> 00:18:51,880
Whatever it was, it must have been
pretty big and vicious to have done that.
246
00:18:52,381 --> 00:18:54,424
Right on both counts, New York.
247
00:18:54,509 --> 00:18:57,636
I was tussling with the most
dangerous animal in the world...
248
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,804
a woman.
249
00:18:59,388 --> 00:19:01,014
She must have been Tarzan's mate.
250
00:19:01,098 --> 00:19:02,766
Looks like you lost the bout.
251
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:04,559
Certainly wasn't a draw.
252
00:19:05,394 --> 00:19:08,313
You know, there ought to be a law
against dames with claws.
253
00:19:08,397 --> 00:19:09,314
Yeah.
254
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:11,483
I tossed her out of the car on her ear.
255
00:19:12,318 --> 00:19:16,655
Was I wrong? Give a lift to a tomato,
you expect her to be nice, don't ya?
256
00:19:16,739 --> 00:19:17,656
Yeah.
257
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:20,242
After all, what kind of dames thumb rides?
258
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:22,577
- Sunday school teachers?
- Yeah.
259
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:25,747
The little witch.
260
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:28,458
She must've thought she was riding
with some fall guy.
261
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:32,337
And me who's been booking horses
around racetracks since I was 20.
262
00:19:33,047 --> 00:19:34,923
[scoffs] I've known a million dames like her.
263
00:19:35,383 --> 00:19:37,217
- Two million.
- Yeah.
264
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:42,138
Stopped the car, opened the door...
265
00:19:42,223 --> 00:19:44,641
"Take it on the Arthur Duffy, sister,"
I told her.
266
00:19:44,725 --> 00:19:48,103
- That's the stuff.
- As I was down on her. [laughs]
267
00:19:48,479 --> 00:19:52,148
But if you wanna see a real scar, brother,
get a load of this.
268
00:19:53,442 --> 00:19:55,026
Wow.
269
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:57,904
- I got that one dueling.
- Dueling?
270
00:19:58,406 --> 00:19:59,865
Yeah. We were just kidding, of course.
271
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:02,450
My dad owned a couple of
Franco-Prussian sabers.
272
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:04,244
Kept 'em on the wall for decorations.
273
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:09,749
One day, another kid and I took 'em down
when the old man wasn't around. Had a duel.
274
00:20:09,834 --> 00:20:11,376
[chuckles]
275
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:13,587
He hit me in the arm, here.
276
00:20:13,671 --> 00:20:15,338
Pretty mean cut.
277
00:20:15,423 --> 00:20:16,965
Infection set in later.
278
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:18,842
Yeah, I can see that.
279
00:20:19,093 --> 00:20:21,428
- Oh, gimme that box again, will ya?
- Yeah.
280
00:20:24,765 --> 00:20:26,099
[pills rattling]
281
00:20:31,355 --> 00:20:32,397
[glove box closes]
282
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:35,525
Pain made me lose my head, I guess.
283
00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:37,694
I began slashing.
284
00:20:37,778 --> 00:20:40,488
Before I knew it,
I put the other kid's eye out.
285
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:43,950
- That was tough.
- Well, it was just an accident, of course.
286
00:20:44,035 --> 00:20:48,413
But you know how kids are. I got scared...
decided I was gonna run away from home.
287
00:20:48,915 --> 00:20:51,958
Old man almost clocked me
when I was packin' my duds.
288
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:56,296
If the bloody rag I had wrapped around my wrist
hadn't caught his attention,
289
00:20:56,380 --> 00:20:58,048
he'd have seen the bundle for sure.
290
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:01,551
But I beat it when he was phoning for a doctor.
291
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:06,598
That was 15, 16 years ago.
I haven't been home since.
292
00:21:10,561 --> 00:21:12,729
Pull in there for a bite of something, huh?
293
00:21:12,813 --> 00:21:14,481
[Al narrating] A bite of something.
294
00:21:14,565 --> 00:21:16,066
Brother, was I hungry.
295
00:21:16,150 --> 00:21:18,401
I hadn't had anything in my stomach for hours.
296
00:21:19,362 --> 00:21:21,404
Yet even with that gnawing
in the pit of my belly,
297
00:21:21,489 --> 00:21:24,324
I didn't want to be in too big a rush
to put on the feed bag.
298
00:21:25,076 --> 00:21:27,827
First, I had to make sure
this guy knew the score.
299
00:21:27,912 --> 00:21:31,247
If I got him down on me,
it was good-bye ticket to Hollywood.
300
00:21:32,083 --> 00:21:33,708
I'll wait out here for you, mister.
301
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:36,753
If it's the money, don't worry about
paying for it. This time it's on me.
302
00:21:36,837 --> 00:21:39,255
- Well, that's white of you, Mr...
- Haskell. Think nothing of it.
303
00:21:39,340 --> 00:21:42,717
You make your first million, maybe you can
do the same for me. Come on, New York.
304
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:44,594
I gotta make the West Coast by Wednesday.
305
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:47,263
There's a horse running at
Santa Anita named Paradisiacal.
306
00:21:47,348 --> 00:21:49,933
- Means dough to me if I'm running.
- We'll make it all right.
307
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:54,688
[Al narrating] He did most of the talking
during the half hour we were in the place.
308
00:21:54,772 --> 00:21:55,772
I ate.
309
00:21:56,857 --> 00:22:01,027
He rambled on about his old man, who he hadn't
heard from since he ran away as a kid,
310
00:22:01,112 --> 00:22:02,946
and how he happened to become a bookie,
311
00:22:03,030 --> 00:22:05,740
and then all about how he got rooked in Miami.
312
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:08,660
One race, 38 grand.
They cleaned out my book.
313
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:11,079
- How do you like that?
- That was tough luck.
314
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:13,164
Yeah, and I'm supposed to be the smart guy.
315
00:22:13,249 --> 00:22:16,543
You just wait. I'm going back to Florida
next season with all kinds of jack.
316
00:22:16,627 --> 00:22:18,586
And you watch those stinkers run for cover.
317
00:22:19,547 --> 00:22:21,965
- Want anything else?
- No, thanks, I've had plenty.
318
00:22:27,638 --> 00:22:29,556
- The check there, sister?
- Mm-hmm.
319
00:22:32,601 --> 00:22:34,519
Oh, just a minute. Your change, sir.
320
00:22:34,603 --> 00:22:37,272
- Keep it, sister.
- Oh, thank you, sir. Call again.
321
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,190
I'll be waitin' outside for you
when you finish work.
322
00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:40,400
[chuckles]
323
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:41,776
Sharp chick, huh?
324
00:22:49,952 --> 00:22:52,912
[Al narrating] I drove all that night
while Haskell slept like a log.
325
00:22:53,581 --> 00:22:56,416
After a while, I began to get sleepy myself.
326
00:22:57,835 --> 00:23:01,671
I was happy though.
Soon I'd be with Sue again.
327
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:03,214
The long trip was practically over,
328
00:23:03,299 --> 00:23:06,009
and there'd be no more hoofing it
down the concrete.
329
00:23:06,761 --> 00:23:08,928
I began to think of the future,
330
00:23:09,013 --> 00:23:12,098
which couldn't have been brighter
if I'd embroidered it with neon lights.
331
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,226
It was nice to think of Sue shooting to the top.
332
00:23:16,437 --> 00:23:20,356
[chuckles] It's amazing what a full belly
can do to your imagination.
333
00:23:20,566 --> 00:23:23,276
[romantic ballad]
334
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:28,156
# Your eyes are blue
Your kisses too #
335
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,577
# I never knew what they could do #
336
00:23:32,661 --> 00:23:39,667
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
337
00:23:41,045 --> 00:23:45,632
# You're telling everyone you know #
338
00:23:45,716 --> 00:23:50,095
# I'm on your mind each place you go #
339
00:23:50,179 --> 00:23:56,017
# I can't believe that you're in love #
340
00:23:56,352 --> 00:24:02,690
# With me #
341
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:12,951
Mr. Haskell.
342
00:24:14,703 --> 00:24:15,703
Mr. Haskell?
343
00:24:18,833 --> 00:24:20,875
Mr. Haskell, wake up! It's raining.
344
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,002
Don't you think we ought to stop
and put up the top?
345
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:33,263
Mr. Haskell, I'm gonna put up the top.
346
00:24:48,154 --> 00:24:50,029
[Al narrating] Until then,
I'd done things my way.
347
00:24:50,531 --> 00:24:52,699
But from then on, something else
stepped in and shunted me off
348
00:24:52,783 --> 00:24:55,535
to a different destination
than the one I had picked for myself.
349
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:58,329
For when I pulled open that door...
350
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:05,170
Mr. Haskell, what's the matter?
Are you hurt?
351
00:25:06,255 --> 00:25:07,547
Are you hurt, Mr. Haskell?
352
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:11,467
[Al narrating]
Start your sermon. I'll listen to it.
353
00:25:12,219 --> 00:25:15,013
But I know what you're gonna hand me
even before you open your mouths.
354
00:25:15,598 --> 00:25:18,016
You're gonna tell me you don't believe
my story of how Haskell died
355
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:21,352
and give me that "don't make me laugh"
expression on your smug faces.
356
00:25:24,815 --> 00:25:26,357
I saw at once he was dead.
357
00:25:26,692 --> 00:25:28,193
And I was in for it.
358
00:25:28,277 --> 00:25:30,111
Who would believe he fell out of the car?
359
00:25:30,196 --> 00:25:31,738
If Haskell came to, which,
of course, he couldn't,
360
00:25:31,822 --> 00:25:34,240
even he would swear
I conked him over the head for his dough.
361
00:25:34,325 --> 00:25:35,491
Yes, I was in for it.
362
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:39,829
Instinct told me to run,
but then I realized it was hopeless.
363
00:25:39,914 --> 00:25:41,998
There were lots of people back down the road
who could identify me.
364
00:25:42,082 --> 00:25:44,000
That gas station guy and the waitress.
365
00:25:44,084 --> 00:25:46,419
I would be in a worse spot then
trying to explain why I beat it.
366
00:25:47,504 --> 00:25:50,381
The next possibility was to sit tight
and tell the truth when the cops came.
367
00:25:50,466 --> 00:25:53,176
But that would be crazy.
They'd laugh at the truth.
368
00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:54,552
And I'd have my head in a noose.
369
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:59,807
So what else was there to do
but hide the body and get away in the car?
370
00:25:59,892 --> 00:26:02,101
I couldn't leave the car there
with him in the gully.
371
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:03,937
That would be like erecting a tombstone.
372
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:35,385
My idea was to cover him with brush,
not to rob him.
373
00:26:35,636 --> 00:26:38,304
But then I remembered that even if
I only drove the car for 100 miles or so,
374
00:26:38,389 --> 00:26:39,722
I would need money for gas.
375
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:44,060
Besides, it was stupid of me
to leave all that money on a dead man.
376
00:26:45,145 --> 00:26:47,188
Not only that,
I'd have to take his driver's license
377
00:26:47,273 --> 00:26:48,690
in case I was stopped for something.
378
00:26:50,901 --> 00:26:52,235
I didn't like to think about it,
379
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,821
but by that time I'd done
just what the police would say I did.
380
00:26:54,905 --> 00:26:57,740
Even if I didn't... My clothes.
381
00:26:58,367 --> 00:27:00,618
The owner of such an expensive car
would never be wearing them.
382
00:27:01,662 --> 00:27:03,246
Some cop might pull me in on suspicion.
383
00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,802
[motorcycle approaches]
384
00:27:28,939 --> 00:27:30,231
Hey, you. This your car?
385
00:27:30,941 --> 00:27:33,943
Don't you know better than to leave a car
with the wheels halfway in the middle of the road?
386
00:27:34,028 --> 00:27:35,403
That's the way accidents happen.
387
00:27:35,612 --> 00:27:38,614
I... I'm sorry, Officer.
I was just putting up my top.
388
00:27:38,699 --> 00:27:41,367
- I didn't think.
- Well, the next time, think.
389
00:27:41,452 --> 00:27:43,911
I'll let you go now,
but watch your step in the future.
390
00:27:43,996 --> 00:27:46,414
I know that it's a lonely stretch,
but cars come by here once in a while.
391
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:49,334
- We have plenty of crack-ups.
- Thanks, Officer.
392
00:28:13,067 --> 00:28:15,777
[Al narrating] I left nothing in the car
that'd give me away as Roberts.
393
00:28:15,861 --> 00:28:18,529
If they found a dead man in the gully now,
it could be me.
394
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:28,122
As I drove off, it was still raining.
395
00:28:29,083 --> 00:28:31,876
The drops streaked
down the windshield like tears.
396
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:36,381
I kept imagining I was being followed,
397
00:28:36,465 --> 00:28:38,341
that I could hear sirens
back in the distance.
398
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,471
Just how long it took to cover the 60-odd
miles to the California state line,
399
00:28:43,555 --> 00:28:44,555
I don't know.
400
00:28:45,057 --> 00:28:46,641
I lost all track of time.
401
00:28:47,351 --> 00:28:51,270
But the rain had stopped and the sun was up
when I pulled up to the inspection station.
402
00:28:55,859 --> 00:28:56,692
Hello.
403
00:28:57,653 --> 00:28:59,946
- Carrying any fruits or vegetables?
- No.
404
00:29:00,030 --> 00:29:02,198
- Any livestock or poultry?
- No.
405
00:29:02,282 --> 00:29:03,741
[footsteps approaching]
406
00:29:03,826 --> 00:29:06,202
I'd like to see your registration
and driver's license, please.
407
00:29:10,749 --> 00:29:13,251
- Anything in the baggage compartment?
- Just baggage.
408
00:29:15,212 --> 00:29:18,548
Charles Haskell Jr.
Age 30, brown eyes, dark hair.
409
00:29:18,841 --> 00:29:20,216
Identifying marks, none.
410
00:29:20,884 --> 00:29:23,094
- Are you Charles Haskell Jr.?
- Yes.
411
00:29:23,178 --> 00:29:25,263
Well, remember, if you're employed,
and you stay over 30 days,
412
00:29:25,347 --> 00:29:27,223
you take out California plates.
413
00:29:27,307 --> 00:29:29,517
All right, Officer, but I'll only be
in the state a short while.
414
00:29:31,186 --> 00:29:32,270
Right. You can go now.
415
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:42,113
[Al narrating] I couldn't drive any farther
without some sleep.
416
00:29:42,197 --> 00:29:45,783
Cops or no cops, I knew
I had to hit the hay and hit it hard.
417
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,203
I was dead tired.
418
00:30:20,027 --> 00:30:20,943
No.
419
00:30:21,820 --> 00:30:23,362
No, you can't, Mr. Haskell.
420
00:30:24,323 --> 00:30:25,156
No.
421
00:30:32,706 --> 00:30:35,374
Mr. Haskell, you can't die.
422
00:30:36,502 --> 00:30:39,128
They'll think... They'll think I did it.
423
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:42,173
No, Mr. Haskell.
424
00:30:42,591 --> 00:30:44,717
No, no...
425
00:30:48,722 --> 00:30:49,805
[knocks]
426
00:30:54,019 --> 00:30:55,603
[knocking continues]
427
00:30:59,358 --> 00:31:00,233
Who's there?
428
00:31:00,317 --> 00:31:02,610
It's the maid. Can I come in and clean?
429
00:31:03,820 --> 00:31:06,322
Later... in a half-hour.
430
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:07,490
All right, sir.
431
00:31:32,057 --> 00:31:33,599
[Al narrating] There was no time to lose.
432
00:31:33,684 --> 00:31:36,227
Every minute I had to be Charles Haskell
was dangerous.
433
00:31:36,311 --> 00:31:38,521
I'd have to be Charles Haskell
until I got to some city
434
00:31:38,605 --> 00:31:40,648
where I could leave the car
and be swallowed up.
435
00:31:46,238 --> 00:31:48,864
That meant driving the car
as far as San Bernardino,
436
00:31:48,949 --> 00:31:50,491
maybe even to Los Angeles.
437
00:31:50,576 --> 00:31:52,451
In a little town, I might be noticed.
438
00:31:52,536 --> 00:31:54,328
But in a city, I should be safe enough.
439
00:31:55,581 --> 00:31:58,666
Then, after I ditched the car,
I could go on to Sue.
440
00:31:59,585 --> 00:32:02,545
But those five minutes at the state line
made me realize
441
00:32:02,629 --> 00:32:05,631
it might be a good idea to find out
a little bit about Mr. Haskell.
442
00:32:06,633 --> 00:32:09,302
Then if anybody asked me questions,
I could give the right answers.
443
00:32:10,345 --> 00:32:13,806
The first thing I found out
was that I had $768.
444
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:17,768
This was a lot of jack, but believe me,
445
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:19,895
it was the kind of money
I'd rather not have.
446
00:32:27,446 --> 00:32:31,115
And then I found out from a letter
Haskell was carting around in his bag
447
00:32:31,199 --> 00:32:33,784
that he wasn't the openhanded,
easygoing big shot
448
00:32:33,869 --> 00:32:36,412
who went around buying dinners
for strange hitchhikers.
449
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:39,832
Before I got done reading it,
I saw him more as a chiseler.
450
00:32:41,209 --> 00:32:43,836
It was written
to his old man in California,
451
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,796
the one he hadn't seen in so many years.
452
00:32:46,590 --> 00:32:51,385
In it, Haskell posed as a salesman...
of hymnals, of all things.
453
00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:54,388
It was easy to see where Haskell expected
454
00:32:54,473 --> 00:32:56,849
to raise a new stake
for his book in Miami...
455
00:32:57,684 --> 00:32:59,143
by rooking his old man.
456
00:33:00,771 --> 00:33:03,689
That was about all I found out
from his effects.
457
00:33:03,774 --> 00:33:04,857
And it was enough.
458
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:09,737
I told myself maybe old man Haskell
was lucky his son kicked off.
459
00:33:10,864 --> 00:33:12,531
He would never know it,
460
00:33:12,616 --> 00:33:16,077
but it saved him from taking a flier
in sacred literature preferred.
461
00:33:22,793 --> 00:33:24,377
[birds chirping]
462
00:33:41,186 --> 00:33:43,979
Near the airport at Desert Center,
I pulled up for water.
463
00:33:45,607 --> 00:33:46,691
There was a woman.
464
00:33:51,321 --> 00:33:53,614
Hey, you. Come on if you want a ride.
465
00:34:07,587 --> 00:34:08,587
[car hood slams]
466
00:34:39,995 --> 00:34:41,662
How far you goin'?
467
00:34:41,747 --> 00:34:43,122
How far are you going?
468
00:34:43,749 --> 00:34:46,792
[Al narrating] That took me by surprise.
I turned my head to look her over.
469
00:34:47,836 --> 00:34:50,588
She was facing straight ahead,
so I couldn't see her eyes.
470
00:34:51,006 --> 00:34:53,758
But she was young, not more than 24.
471
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:56,844
Man, she looked as if
she'd just been thrown off
472
00:34:56,928 --> 00:34:59,305
the crummiest freight train in the world.
473
00:35:00,140 --> 00:35:02,641
Yet, in spite of this,
I got the impression of beauty.
474
00:35:03,727 --> 00:35:06,020
Not the beauty of a movie actress,
mind you,
475
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,689
or the beauty you dream about
when you're with your wife,
476
00:35:08,774 --> 00:35:10,065
but a natural beauty,
477
00:35:10,567 --> 00:35:13,194
a beauty that's almost homely
because it's so real.
478
00:35:15,363 --> 00:35:17,114
Then, suddenly, she turned to face me.
479
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:20,409
- How far did you say you were going?
- Los Angeles.
480
00:35:20,494 --> 00:35:21,410
LA?
481
00:35:22,287 --> 00:35:25,790
- LA's good enough for me, mister.
- That's what I was afraid of.
482
00:35:25,874 --> 00:35:29,084
- What'd you say?
- Oh, nothing. Just thinking out loud.
483
00:35:29,169 --> 00:35:31,128
People get in trouble for doing that.
484
00:35:32,005 --> 00:35:34,715
- What's your name?
- You can call me Vera, if you like.
485
00:35:35,509 --> 00:35:37,176
- You live in Los Angeles?
- No.
486
00:35:39,054 --> 00:35:41,555
- Where you coming from?
- Oh, back there.
487
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,098
- Needles?
- No.
488
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:47,102
Oh, sure. Phoenix.
You look just like a Phoenix girl.
489
00:35:47,687 --> 00:35:49,855
- Are the girls in Phoenix that bad?
- [chuckles]
490
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:51,774
[Al narrating]
The girl must have been pretty tired
491
00:35:51,858 --> 00:35:54,944
because she fell asleep not 20 minutes
after she stepped into the car.
492
00:35:55,737 --> 00:35:59,782
She lay sprawled out with her head resting
against the far door, like Haskell.
493
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:03,452
I didn't like that part of it much,
but I didn't wake her up.
494
00:36:04,955 --> 00:36:06,872
It wasn't that this girl still worried me.
495
00:36:07,374 --> 00:36:10,376
I'd gotten over that funny feeling
I had when she looked at me,
496
00:36:10,460 --> 00:36:13,003
which I put down
as just my jangled nerves.
497
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:16,590
With her eyes closed
and the tenseness gone out of her,
498
00:36:16,675 --> 00:36:18,133
she seemed harmless enough.
499
00:36:18,885 --> 00:36:21,929
Instead of disliking her,
I began to feel sorry for her.
500
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:25,182
The poor kid probably
had had a rough time of it.
501
00:36:26,476 --> 00:36:27,977
Who was she, anyway?
502
00:36:28,061 --> 00:36:30,479
And why was she going to Los Angeles?
503
00:36:30,564 --> 00:36:32,898
And where'd she come from
in the first place?
504
00:36:32,983 --> 00:36:34,775
The only thing I knew about her
was her name.
505
00:36:35,777 --> 00:36:37,361
Not that it made any difference.
506
00:36:37,445 --> 00:36:39,738
A few hours more and we'd be in Hollywood.
507
00:36:39,823 --> 00:36:42,241
I'd forget where I parked the car
and look up Sue.
508
00:36:43,118 --> 00:36:45,286
This nightmare of being a dead man
would be over.
509
00:36:46,121 --> 00:36:48,831
Who this dame was, well,
it was no business of mine.
510
00:36:48,915 --> 00:36:52,918
Where did you leave his body?
Where did you leave the owner of this car?
511
00:36:53,003 --> 00:36:54,712
You're not fooling anyone.
512
00:36:55,297 --> 00:36:58,173
This buggy belongs to a guy named Haskell.
That's not you, mister.
513
00:36:58,258 --> 00:37:01,343
You're out of your mind. That's my name.
Charles Haskell. I can prove it.

- Here's my driver's license.
- Save yourself the trouble, mister.
515
00:37:03,597 --> 00:37:05,848
Having Haskell's wallet
only makes it worse.
516
00:37:05,932 --> 00:37:08,017
It just so happens
I rode with Charlie Haskell
517
00:37:08,101 --> 00:37:09,685
all the way from Louisiana.
518
00:37:09,769 --> 00:37:11,854
He picked me up outside of Shreveport.
519
00:37:11,938 --> 00:37:13,564
- You rode...
- You heard me.
520
00:37:14,149 --> 00:37:15,983
[Al narrating] Then it all came back to me.
521
00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:18,652
All the talk about dueling
and scars and scratches.
522
00:37:19,613 --> 00:37:21,363
There was no doubt about it.
523
00:37:21,448 --> 00:37:23,949
Vera must be the woman
Haskell had mentioned.
524
00:37:24,034 --> 00:37:25,784
She must have passed me while I slept.
525
00:37:25,869 --> 00:37:28,871
Well? Well, I'm waiting.
526
00:37:28,955 --> 00:37:30,331
My goose was cooked.
527
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:32,082
She had me.
528
00:37:32,876 --> 00:37:34,668
That Haskell guy wasn't dead yet.
529
00:37:35,253 --> 00:37:38,172
He wasn't stretched out stiff and cold
in any Arizona gully.
530
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:41,425
He was sitting right there in the car,
laughing like mad while he haunted me.
531
00:37:43,345 --> 00:37:44,303
Well?
532
00:37:44,387 --> 00:37:47,514
There was nothing I could say.
It was her move.
533
00:37:48,224 --> 00:37:50,142
Vera, whatever her name was.
534
00:37:50,226 --> 00:37:52,478
It was just my luck
picking her up on the road.
535
00:37:53,313 --> 00:37:56,148
It couldn't have been Helen
or Mary or Evelyn or Ruth.
536
00:37:57,025 --> 00:37:59,526
It had to be the very last person
I should ever have met.
537
00:38:00,820 --> 00:38:01,820
That's life.
538
00:38:02,697 --> 00:38:05,491
Whichever way you turn,
fate sticks out a foot to trip you.
539
00:38:11,081 --> 00:38:13,457
I told her everything,
but she didn't believe my story.
540
00:38:13,541 --> 00:38:15,167
I should've saved my breath.
541
00:38:15,251 --> 00:38:17,670
That's the greatest cock-and-bull story
I ever heard.
542
00:38:17,754 --> 00:38:19,380
So he fell out of his car.
543
00:38:19,464 --> 00:38:21,507
Say, who do you think
you're talking to, a hick?
544
00:38:21,591 --> 00:38:23,592
Listen, mister. I've been around.
545
00:38:23,677 --> 00:38:27,054
And I know a wrong guy when I see one.
What'd you do, kiss him with a wrench?
546
00:38:27,138 --> 00:38:29,264
Now wait a minute.
What I told you was true.
547
00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:30,891
You see, that's why I had to do it.
548
00:38:30,976 --> 00:38:33,352
You think I killed him.
Well, the cops would've thought so too.
549
00:38:33,436 --> 00:38:35,187
Yeah, well maybe they still think so.
550
00:38:36,106 --> 00:38:38,482
What makes you so sure
I'll shut up about this?
551
00:38:38,566 --> 00:38:41,318
Vera, I'm innocent.
Give me a break, will you?
552
00:38:42,696 --> 00:38:44,488
It won't do me any good
having you pinched.
553
00:38:44,572 --> 00:38:46,115
The cops are no friends of mine.
554
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:49,076
Now, if there was a reward...
But there isn't.
555
00:38:49,703 --> 00:38:51,912
- Thanks.
- Don't thank me yet.
556
00:38:51,997 --> 00:38:55,332
I'm not through with you by a long shot.
Let's see that roll.
557
00:39:02,090 --> 00:39:03,674
Is that all Haskell had?
558
00:39:03,758 --> 00:39:05,509
- Isn't it enough?
- No, I thought he had more.
559
00:39:05,593 --> 00:39:07,845
Not that I know of. You can search me
if you think I'm holding out on you.
560
00:39:07,929 --> 00:39:09,596
Well, maybe I will at that.
561
00:39:09,681 --> 00:39:11,807
He told me he was gonna bet $3,000
562
00:39:11,891 --> 00:39:14,560
on a horse named Paradisiacal
on Wednesday at Santa Anita.
563
00:39:14,644 --> 00:39:16,979
- He was stringing you along. He meant 300.
- Maybe.
564
00:39:17,063 --> 00:39:20,357
Sure. Three bucks, 300.
He was a piece of cheese, a big blowhard.
565
00:39:20,442 --> 00:39:23,277
Listen, mister. Don't try and tell me
anything about Charlie Haskell.
566
00:39:23,361 --> 00:39:25,279
Remember, I knew him better than you did.
567
00:39:25,363 --> 00:39:28,073
Okay, then you knew he was a four-flusher.
That explains the three-grand bet.
568
00:39:28,158 --> 00:39:30,576
I'm not so sure
he didn't have that three grand.
569
00:39:30,660 --> 00:39:34,121
Why should I believe you?
You got all the earmarks of a cheap crook.
570
00:39:34,205 --> 00:39:35,622
- Now, wait a minute.
- Shut up.
571
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:37,207
You're a cheap crook and you killed him.
572
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:39,418
For two cents,
I'd change my mind and turn you in.
573
00:39:39,502 --> 00:39:40,794
I don't like you!
574
00:39:40,879 --> 00:39:43,338
- All right, all right. Don't get sore.
- I'm not getting sore.
575
00:39:43,423 --> 00:39:45,507
But just remember who's boss around here.
576
00:39:45,592 --> 00:39:47,134
If you shut up
and don't give me any arguments,
577
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:48,677
you'll have nothing to worry about.
578
00:39:48,762 --> 00:39:50,512
But if you act wise, well, mister,
579
00:39:50,597 --> 00:39:53,182
you'll pop into jail so fast
it'll give you the bends.
580
00:39:53,266 --> 00:39:55,059
- I'm not arguing.
- Well, see that you don't.
581
00:39:55,143 --> 00:39:56,477
You know, as crooked as you look,
582
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:59,605
I'd hate to see a fella as young as you
wind up sniffing that perfume
583
00:39:59,689 --> 00:40:01,482
that Arizona hands out free to murderers.
584
00:40:01,566 --> 00:40:03,233
- I'm not a murderer.
- Of course you're not.
585
00:40:03,318 --> 00:40:04,693
Haskell knocked his own head off.
586
00:40:04,778 --> 00:40:06,278
He fell. That's how it happened,
just like I told you.
587
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:08,530
Sure, and then he made you a present
of his belongings.
588
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:10,324
- I explained why...
- Oh, skip it.
589
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:13,118
Doesn't make a difference one way
or another. I'm not a mourner.
590
00:40:13,203 --> 00:40:15,412
I liked Haskell even less than I like you.
591
00:40:15,955 --> 00:40:17,372
Yeah, I saw what you did to him.
592
00:40:17,457 --> 00:40:19,541
- What do you mean?
- Those scratches on his wrists.
593
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:20,959
Sure, I scratched him.
594
00:40:21,961 --> 00:40:23,128
I'll say you did.
595
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:26,673
So your idea was
to drive the car a little way,
596
00:40:26,758 --> 00:40:28,967
maybe into San Bernardino,
and then leave it.
597
00:40:29,052 --> 00:40:30,385
You weren't gonna sell it?
598
00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:33,597
Sell it? You think I'm crazy?
Somebody else's car?
599
00:40:33,681 --> 00:40:36,266
All I wanna do is leave it somewhere
and forget I ever saw it.
600
00:40:36,351 --> 00:40:39,269
Not only don't you have any scruples,
you don't have any brains.
601
00:40:39,354 --> 00:40:42,022
- I don't get you.
- Maybe it's a good thing you met me.
602
00:40:42,107 --> 00:40:44,983
You would of got yourself caught, sure.
Why, you dope.
603
00:40:45,068 --> 00:40:48,362
Don't you know a deserted automobile
always rates an investigation?
604
00:40:48,696 --> 00:40:49,863
Huh?
605
00:40:49,948 --> 00:40:52,783
Look. The cops find a car.
Then they get curious.
606
00:40:52,867 --> 00:40:54,493
They wonder where the owner is.
607
00:40:54,577 --> 00:40:57,996
So, all right, they don't trace Haskell.
They trace you.
608
00:40:58,206 --> 00:40:59,790
I never thought of that.
609
00:40:59,874 --> 00:41:02,626
The only safe way to get rid of the car
is to sell it to a dealer,
610
00:41:02,710 --> 00:41:04,253
get it registered under a new name.
611
00:41:04,754 --> 00:41:06,004
Say, stop at the next store.
612
00:41:06,089 --> 00:41:08,882
I wanna get a bottle and do some shopping
before we hit LA.
613
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:12,219
Okay. Soon as we find a place,
I'll drop you off and pick you up later.
614
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:14,429
Nothin' doin'. You're coming in too.
615
00:41:14,514 --> 00:41:17,349
From now on,
you and I are like the Siamese twins.
616
00:41:17,433 --> 00:41:19,434
Have it your way,
but I don't get the point.
617
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:21,687
The point is I don't want you to get lost.
618
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:23,397
I'm not gonna beat it,
if that's what you're afraid of.
619
00:41:23,481 --> 00:41:24,648
I'll say you're not.
620
00:41:24,732 --> 00:41:27,568
Well, I'm gonna see that you sell this car
so you don't get caught.
621
00:41:27,652 --> 00:41:31,446
Thanks. Of course, your interest
wouldn't be financial, would it?
622
00:41:31,531 --> 00:41:33,699
You wouldn't want
a small percentage of the profits?
623
00:41:34,284 --> 00:41:37,202
Well, now that you insist,
how can I refuse?
624
00:41:37,287 --> 00:41:38,912
A hundred percent'll do.
625
00:41:38,997 --> 00:41:40,873
Fine. I'm relieved.
626
00:41:40,957 --> 00:41:43,208
I thought for a moment
you were gonna take it all.
627
00:41:43,293 --> 00:41:44,710
I don't want to be a hog.
628
00:41:46,588 --> 00:41:48,672
[Al narrating] A few hours later,
we were in Hollywood.
629
00:41:49,090 --> 00:41:51,466
I was recognizing places
Sue had written about.
630
00:41:52,051 --> 00:41:55,012
It struck me that,
far from being at the end of the trip,
631
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:58,098
there was a greater distance between Sue
and me than when I started out.
632
00:41:59,434 --> 00:42:02,060
Vera wasn't kidding
with that Siamese twins crack.
633
00:42:02,687 --> 00:42:06,106
She rented a little apartment
as Mrs. Charles Haskell.
634
00:42:07,025 --> 00:42:10,110
When I objected to this, she explained
that it was on account of the car.
635
00:42:10,612 --> 00:42:12,154
A dealer might think something was funny
636
00:42:12,238 --> 00:42:14,531
if he called and found
we were using different names.
637
00:42:19,704 --> 00:42:21,538
- Home, sweet home.
- Yeah.
638
00:42:22,457 --> 00:42:23,498
Not bad, either.
639
00:42:31,466 --> 00:42:33,842
In case there's any doubt in your mind,
I'll take the bedroom.
640
00:42:34,302 --> 00:42:35,177
Yeah.
641
00:42:36,471 --> 00:42:37,846
Sure is stuffy in here.
642
00:42:45,980 --> 00:42:47,689
- Keep the window shut.
- Okay.
643
00:42:50,026 --> 00:42:53,487
The old crow downstairs said
there's a folding bed behind this door.
644
00:42:59,535 --> 00:43:00,702
You know how to work it?
645
00:43:04,457 --> 00:43:05,540
I invented it.
646
00:43:09,504 --> 00:43:11,630
- Some joint.
- One can't have everything.
647
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,387
I'm first in the bathtub.
648
00:43:19,180 --> 00:43:22,140
I don't know why,
but I figured you would be.
649
00:43:31,985 --> 00:43:35,570
Boy, oh, boy. [sighs]
It sure feels good to be clean again.
650
00:43:36,948 --> 00:43:38,407
I must be ten pounds lighter.
651
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:40,450
You must be.
652
00:43:40,535 --> 00:43:42,077
[saxophone playing]
653
00:43:42,161 --> 00:43:45,372
Well, hitchin' rides isn't exactly the way
you keep your schoolgirl complexion.
654
00:43:49,585 --> 00:43:51,712
I wish that guy with the sax
would give up.
655
00:43:53,089 --> 00:43:54,423
It gets on my nerves.
656
00:43:56,509 --> 00:43:57,509
Forget it.
657
00:44:00,138 --> 00:44:01,179
Have a drink.
658
00:44:02,390 --> 00:44:04,141
Aren't you afraid
I'm gonna take you up on it?
659
00:44:06,269 --> 00:44:08,562
If I didn't wanna give you a drink,
I wouldn't have offered it.
660
00:44:09,731 --> 00:44:12,983
Why be a sorehead, Roberts?
You got yourself into this thing.
661
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:15,902
You should be grateful
I'm not turning you in.
662
00:44:16,904 --> 00:44:19,114
Why, if I wasn't regular,
you'd be in the pen this minute
663
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:22,284
being photographed, fingerprinted,
and being pushed around by the cops.
664
00:44:23,077 --> 00:44:25,620
So cheer up. Get rid of that long puss.
665
00:44:27,874 --> 00:44:29,666
Or is your conscience bothering you?
666
00:44:34,672 --> 00:44:35,505
No.
667
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:37,382
It isn't.
668
00:44:37,467 --> 00:44:39,468
Swell. That's the spirit.
669
00:44:41,012 --> 00:44:43,180
He's dead,
and no moaning around will bring him back.
670
00:44:46,684 --> 00:44:50,312
Anyway, I never could understand this worrying
about something that's over and done with.
671
00:44:50,396 --> 00:44:52,439
Now look, Vera.
For the last time, I didn't kill him.
672
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:53,982
Haskell was a sick man.
673
00:44:54,067 --> 00:44:56,109
Maybe he was dead before he fell
out of the car. I don't know.
674
00:44:56,194 --> 00:44:58,403
Sure, sure. He died of old age.
675
00:44:59,364 --> 00:45:00,364
All right.
676
00:45:01,324 --> 00:45:02,824
So if it'll make you sociable...
677
00:45:04,577 --> 00:45:05,827
you didn't kill him.
678
00:45:16,464 --> 00:45:17,297
Thanks.
679
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:31,186
- We're outta liquor, Roberts.
- Yeah.
680
00:45:32,313 --> 00:45:35,440
Too bad.
I felt like getting tight tonight.
681
00:45:35,525 --> 00:45:37,567
Well, I think you succeeded.
682
00:45:37,652 --> 00:45:40,737
- Am I tight?
- As a prima donna's corset.
683
00:45:40,822 --> 00:45:42,197
- That's good.
- [glass clatters]
684
00:45:42,281 --> 00:45:44,074
I wanted to get tight.
685
00:45:44,158 --> 00:45:46,785
Why? What have you got to get tight about?
686
00:45:46,869 --> 00:45:49,246
Oh, I don't know. A few things.
687
00:45:50,123 --> 00:45:50,956
[Al] Huh.
688
00:45:52,583 --> 00:45:54,042
You should have my worries.
689
00:45:54,127 --> 00:45:56,670
If I had your troubles, I'd stay sober.
690
00:45:56,754 --> 00:45:58,380
And I've got the key to that door.
691
00:46:01,926 --> 00:46:04,678
Yeah. Maybe you're right.
692
00:46:04,762 --> 00:46:06,388
I'm always right.
693
00:46:07,723 --> 00:46:10,183
You know, I don't like your attitude,
Roberts.
694
00:46:10,268 --> 00:46:12,018
Well, there's a lot of things I don't like.
695
00:46:13,479 --> 00:46:14,813
Say...
696
00:46:17,191 --> 00:46:19,276
But life's like a ball game.
697
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,111
You got to take a swing
at whatever comes along
698
00:46:21,195 --> 00:46:23,613
before you wake up
and find it's the ninth inning.
699
00:46:24,532 --> 00:46:25,782
Bet you read that somewhere.
700
00:46:25,867 --> 00:46:29,703
That's the trouble with you, Roberts.
All you do is bellyache.
701
00:46:30,788 --> 00:46:35,500
You could have taken it easy and,
well, try and make the best of things.
702
00:46:35,585 --> 00:46:38,378
But maybe that's what's wrong
with the whole world.
703
00:46:38,463 --> 00:46:40,297
Get the professor.
704
00:46:40,381 --> 00:46:43,133
People knock themselves out
trying to buck fate.
705
00:46:43,217 --> 00:46:46,386
Now take you, for instance.
You're lucky to be alive.
706
00:46:46,471 --> 00:46:49,055
Why, suppose Haskell had pulled open
your door?
707
00:46:49,140 --> 00:46:51,850
You'd be playing a harp now.
Think of that.
708
00:46:53,603 --> 00:46:56,855
You think of it. I'm tired of thinking.
709
00:46:56,939 --> 00:46:59,816
There's plenty of people dying this minute
710
00:46:59,901 --> 00:47:02,402
that would give anything
to trade places with you.
711
00:47:04,363 --> 00:47:05,989
I know what I'm talking about.
712
00:47:07,033 --> 00:47:10,744
I'm not so sure.
At least they know they're done for.
713
00:47:10,828 --> 00:47:13,580
They don't just sweat blood
wondering if they are.
714
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:16,750
Your philosophy stinks, pal.
715
00:47:18,002 --> 00:47:21,796
We all know we're gonna kick off someday.
It's only a question of when.
716
00:47:23,591 --> 00:47:26,551
But what got us on this subject anyway?
717
00:47:26,636 --> 00:47:28,553
We'll be discussing politics next.
718
00:47:29,388 --> 00:47:30,472
Yeah.
719
00:47:32,058 --> 00:47:33,433
Where'd you hide the butts?
720
00:47:34,310 --> 00:47:35,936
On the table, sucker.
721
00:47:43,611 --> 00:47:47,113
[Al narrating] We bored each other with
conversation for a couple of hours longer.
722
00:47:47,198 --> 00:47:50,408
Every five minutes, one of us was wishing
we had another bottle or a radio
723
00:47:50,493 --> 00:47:52,118
or something to read.
724
00:47:53,538 --> 00:47:55,247
Then finally we ran out of chat.
725
00:47:56,207 --> 00:47:57,499
I know it's only eleven o'clock,
726
00:47:57,583 --> 00:48:00,085
but I want to get up early
and make the rounds to the used car lots.
727
00:48:00,169 --> 00:48:03,088
No hurry about that.
We got all the time in the world.
728
00:48:03,172 --> 00:48:05,257
Maybe you have, but if you think
I want to stay cooped up in this place
729
00:48:05,341 --> 00:48:06,925
any longer than I have to, you're batty.
730
00:48:07,009 --> 00:48:10,262
It's not a bad place. Pay plenty
for diggings like this in New York.
731
00:48:10,346 --> 00:48:12,347
I wouldn't like it if it was the Ritz.
732
00:48:12,431 --> 00:48:14,849
[coughs]
733
00:48:16,602 --> 00:48:18,144
Rotten liquor. [coughs]
734
00:48:18,229 --> 00:48:20,981
You got a mean cough.
Ought to do something about it.
735
00:48:21,065 --> 00:48:22,315
I'll be all right.
736
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,817
That's what Camille said.
737
00:48:24,527 --> 00:48:25,652
Who?
738
00:48:25,736 --> 00:48:27,195
Nobody you know.
739
00:48:30,908 --> 00:48:33,368
- Wasn't that the dame that died of consumption?
- Yeah.
740
00:48:34,704 --> 00:48:37,289
Wouldn't it be a break for you
if I did kick off.
741
00:48:37,373 --> 00:48:40,333
You'd be free
with all Haskell's dough and car.
742
00:48:40,418 --> 00:48:42,043
I don't want to see anybody die.
743
00:48:43,212 --> 00:48:44,921
Not even me?
744
00:48:45,006 --> 00:48:48,008
Especially not you. One person died on me.
745
00:48:48,092 --> 00:48:50,510
If you did, well, that's all I need.
746
00:48:52,388 --> 00:48:54,222
You don't like me, do you, Roberts?
747
00:48:55,933 --> 00:48:56,975
Like you?
748
00:48:58,352 --> 00:48:59,769
I love you.
749
00:49:01,022 --> 00:49:02,981
My favorite sport is being kept prisoner.
750
00:49:04,025 --> 00:49:07,485
After we sell the car, you can go to blazes
for all I care, but not until then.
751
00:49:14,910 --> 00:49:16,536
I'm going to bed.
752
00:49:24,962 --> 00:49:26,463
Good night, Roberts.
753
00:49:26,547 --> 00:49:29,549
Don't try and sneak away during the night.
All the doors are locked.
754
00:49:29,634 --> 00:49:33,136
Anyway, if I find you gone in the morning,
I'll notify the police.
755
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:35,889
- They'll pick you up.
- Don't worry. I know when I'm in a spot.
756
00:49:36,974 --> 00:49:40,935
Well, good night. I hope that portable
rack isn't too uncomfortable for you.
757
00:49:41,020 --> 00:49:43,146
Don't lose any sleep over it,
will you, Vera?
758
00:49:44,940 --> 00:49:47,025
[key scratching lock]
759
00:50:20,601 --> 00:50:21,935
[softly] CRestview...
760
00:50:23,813 --> 00:50:29,651
6... 5... 7,
761
00:50:29,735 --> 00:50:32,654
[whispers] 2... 3.
762
00:50:33,948 --> 00:50:35,073
Hello?
763
00:50:36,117 --> 00:50:37,117
Hello!
764
00:50:38,327 --> 00:50:39,411
Hello?
765
00:50:40,579 --> 00:50:41,746
Hello?
766
00:50:48,295 --> 00:50:51,881
No. Not yet, darling.
767
00:50:53,134 --> 00:50:54,509
Tomorrow.
768
00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:56,928
Maybe.
769
00:51:00,391 --> 00:51:01,891
[Al narrating] if this were fiction,
770
00:51:01,976 --> 00:51:05,562
I would fall in love with her, marry her,
and make a respectable woman of her,
771
00:51:05,646 --> 00:51:09,816
or else she'd make some supreme,
class-A sacrifice for me and die.
772
00:51:11,152 --> 00:51:13,361
Sue and I would ball a little
over her grave
773
00:51:13,446 --> 00:51:16,448
and make some crack about
"there's good in all of us."
774
00:51:16,532 --> 00:51:20,160
But Vera, unfortunately,
was just as rotten in the morning
775
00:51:20,244 --> 00:51:21,870
as she'd been the night before.
776
00:51:21,954 --> 00:51:23,455
[knocking]
777
00:51:23,539 --> 00:51:25,415
All right, all right, I'm coming.
778
00:51:25,499 --> 00:51:27,459
[Al] Look, Vera, it's almost noon.
779
00:51:29,003 --> 00:51:31,254
So what?
The dealers will be there all day.
780
00:51:31,338 --> 00:51:34,007
They'll be there all year too, but it
doesn't mean I'm gonna wait that long.
781
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:36,551
Shut up.
You're making noises like a husband.
782
00:51:39,180 --> 00:51:42,932
- Well, do I rate a whistle?
- You sure do, but let's go.
783
00:51:43,017 --> 00:51:46,519
Let's go, let's go. I spend 85 bucks
and two hours preparing bait,
784
00:51:46,604 --> 00:51:48,188
and all you can say is "Let's go."
785
00:51:48,272 --> 00:51:51,274
[sighs] Come on.
786
00:51:56,071 --> 00:51:58,698
We passed a few used car lots
last night down this way.
787
00:51:58,783 --> 00:52:00,784
What do you think
we can get for this heap?
788
00:52:00,868 --> 00:52:04,496
I don't know. Plenty.
You just let me handle everything.
789
00:52:04,580 --> 00:52:06,206
You think we can get $2,000?
790
00:52:06,290 --> 00:52:07,707
I don't know. But don't worry.
791
00:52:07,792 --> 00:52:10,126
I'll squeeze as much
out of this guy as I can.
792
00:52:10,211 --> 00:52:13,296
If I let it go cheap without a fight,
he might think we've stolen the car.
793
00:52:13,380 --> 00:52:17,675
And listen, don't make any slips
and call me Roberts. That'll cook us.
794
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,636
I don't need you to tell me that.
795
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:21,930
You better just sit by
and keep your mouth closed.
796
00:52:22,014 --> 00:52:24,015
Remember, we're both in the soup
if anything happens.
797
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:25,642
Forget it and drive.
798
00:52:25,726 --> 00:52:28,144
You're my wife... Vera Haskell.
799
00:52:28,229 --> 00:52:32,315
Look, after the deal's closed, let's go
back to that place on Hollywood Boulevard
800
00:52:32,399 --> 00:52:33,942
where I saw the fur jacket.
801
00:52:34,026 --> 00:52:35,235
I want to buy it.
802
00:52:35,319 --> 00:52:37,987
After the deal's closed,
I'm saying good-bye to you.
803
00:52:38,072 --> 00:52:41,491
That's right. I forgot.
I guess I'm getting kind of used to you.
804
00:52:42,743 --> 00:52:45,036
Well, that's a habit
you can start breaking.
805
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,455
Let's try this place
in the middle of the block.
806
00:52:53,671 --> 00:52:55,129
Good afternoon. What can I do for you?
807
00:52:55,214 --> 00:52:58,508
- We're interested in selling a car.
- If the price is right.
808
00:53:01,387 --> 00:53:05,473
Well, if it's in good mechanical condition,
it should blue book for about 1,600.
809
00:53:06,475 --> 00:53:07,892
Tony, take a look at this motor.
810
00:53:07,977 --> 00:53:10,228
1,600. Are you kidding?
811
00:53:14,108 --> 00:53:15,900
[car hood opening]
812
00:53:21,448 --> 00:53:23,283
Well, maybe 1,850.
813
00:53:23,367 --> 00:53:26,744
Before I let it go for 1,850, I'll wreck it
and collect the insurance first.
814
00:53:26,829 --> 00:53:27,912
[coughs]
815
00:53:31,375 --> 00:53:33,376
Lady, this motor's seen a lot of driving.
816
00:53:39,925 --> 00:53:43,219
[Al narrating] While the mechanic
inspected the car, we haggled.
817
00:53:43,721 --> 00:53:46,973
At last, when we were all worn out,
we hit a compromise...
818
00:53:47,057 --> 00:53:48,600
his price.
819
00:53:51,896 --> 00:53:53,104
Okay, it's a deal.
820
00:53:53,188 --> 00:53:56,524
- Come in, we'll sign the papers.
- I have the ownership papers here with me.
821
00:53:56,609 --> 00:53:59,319
Look, Vera, in the meantime,
will you clean out the dash compartment?
822
00:53:59,403 --> 00:54:02,196
- There may be some stuff in it.
- All right, darling.
823
00:54:04,325 --> 00:54:06,534
1,850 bucks.
824
00:54:06,619 --> 00:54:08,244
That dirty cr...
825
00:54:15,544 --> 00:54:17,420
- Mm, New York, huh?
- Yeah.
826
00:54:17,504 --> 00:54:20,757
- But you bought the car in Miami?
- Yeah.
827
00:54:20,841 --> 00:54:22,467
Well, now, let's see about the insurance.
828
00:54:22,551 --> 00:54:24,552
We can either have it transferred
or canceled.
829
00:54:24,637 --> 00:54:27,263
Uh, what kind of insurance do you have,
Mr. Haskell?
830
00:54:28,432 --> 00:54:31,559
Well, uh, aren't all the papers there?
831
00:54:33,729 --> 00:54:37,857
I don't see any. Surely you know what type
of insurance you carry on the car.
832
00:54:37,942 --> 00:54:39,442
The name of the company?
833
00:54:40,277 --> 00:54:41,486
Yeah, but, uh...
834
00:54:41,570 --> 00:54:43,321
Well, if you'll just tell me
the name of the company,
835
00:54:43,405 --> 00:54:45,114
I'd be very glad to take care
of all the details.
836
00:54:45,199 --> 00:54:46,324
Well...
837
00:54:46,408 --> 00:54:48,409
- Did you sign the papers yet?
- Not yet.
838
00:54:48,494 --> 00:54:50,536
Well, don't. We're not selling the car.
839
00:54:50,621 --> 00:54:52,538
- Well, wait a minute, Mrs. Haskell...
- Come on, darling.
840
00:54:52,623 --> 00:54:55,917
- What's the matter? Change your mind?
- Yes. I'm sorry. I guess I have.
841
00:54:56,001 --> 00:54:57,377
- But, Vera...
- Let's go.
842
00:55:03,384 --> 00:55:06,636
You got me out of a tight spot, Vera,
but I still don't understand all this.
843
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:09,722
You will in a minute.
I almost threw away a gold mine.
844
00:55:09,807 --> 00:55:13,726
1,850 isn't to be sneezed at. The car
doesn't book for as much as I thought.
845
00:55:13,811 --> 00:55:15,478
We're not selling the car.
846
00:55:15,562 --> 00:55:17,438
You want to keep it?
Now wait a minute, Vera.
847
00:55:17,523 --> 00:55:20,608
You said yourself I wouldn't be safe
until the car was in someone else's name.
848
00:55:20,693 --> 00:55:22,360
I'd like to be free of this mess
when I go.
849
00:55:22,444 --> 00:55:24,612
That's just it, Roberts. You're not going.
850
00:55:25,531 --> 00:55:27,365
- [sighs]
- There's a drive-in at the next corner.
851
00:55:27,449 --> 00:55:30,201
Pull in there and we'll get a bite to eat
and I'll explain.
852
00:55:30,285 --> 00:55:32,453
What is this,
another one of your brilliant ideas?
853
00:55:38,794 --> 00:55:41,671
- Hello. May I take your order?
- Make mine a ham sandwich and coffee.
854
00:55:41,755 --> 00:55:44,340
- And for you, sir?
- Oh, I don't care. The same.
855
00:55:46,510 --> 00:55:47,719
Thank you.
856
00:55:52,224 --> 00:55:55,226
Get this, Vera,
I've been pretty patient so far.
857
00:55:55,310 --> 00:55:57,311
I've done everything you asked me to do,
but no more.
858
00:55:57,396 --> 00:55:59,564
- Shut up.
- You've taken Haskell's money.
859
00:55:59,648 --> 00:56:01,524
And you can have the dough we get
from selling the car,
860
00:56:01,608 --> 00:56:03,192
but you're not gonna keep me a prisoner.
861
00:56:03,277 --> 00:56:05,069
It's a good thing I bought the paper.
Look at that.
862
00:56:05,154 --> 00:56:07,030
- Vera, I'm in no mood...
- Read that.
863
00:56:17,708 --> 00:56:19,292
- No.
- Yes.
864
00:56:19,376 --> 00:56:20,960
- No, I won't do it.
- Yes, you will.
865
00:56:21,045 --> 00:56:23,254
You think I'm crazy.
It's impossible, I tell ya.
866
00:56:24,131 --> 00:56:25,173
Excuse me.
867
00:56:30,637 --> 00:56:32,138
Blow the horn when you're through.
868
00:56:35,350 --> 00:56:38,561
No one could possibly get away with an act
like that. Be wise to me in a minute.
869
00:56:38,645 --> 00:56:39,812
Don't be yellow.
870
00:56:39,897 --> 00:56:42,690
You look enough like him.
The same coloring and the same build.
871
00:56:42,775 --> 00:56:44,358
See how his clothes fit ya?
872
00:56:44,443 --> 00:56:46,235
No kidding. You almost
had me fooled for a while.
873
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:47,528
Oh, grow up, Vera.
874
00:56:47,613 --> 00:56:50,406
Don't you think a father knows his own
son? There must be other relatives.
875
00:56:50,491 --> 00:56:53,326
The father won't have to know ya.
We'll wait till he gives up the ghost.
876
00:56:53,410 --> 00:56:55,411
He's an old geezer
and he won't pull through.
877
00:56:55,496 --> 00:56:59,373
And as far as the relatives are concerned,
they haven't seen you in 15 or 20 years.
878
00:57:00,876 --> 00:57:02,585
- Eat.
- I'm not hungry.
879
00:57:03,253 --> 00:57:06,130
- And I won't do it.
- It's not as tough as it sounds.
880
00:57:06,215 --> 00:57:08,049
Remember, you've got
all kinds of identification...
881
00:57:08,133 --> 00:57:09,133
his car, letters, license...
882
00:57:09,218 --> 00:57:11,761
I could never get away with it.
It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
883
00:57:11,845 --> 00:57:13,888
The old boy has scads of dough.
884
00:57:13,972 --> 00:57:17,141
Look in the paper there. Personal fortune
assessed at over 15 million.
885
00:57:17,226 --> 00:57:18,684
He'll leave plenty, I tell ya.
886
00:57:18,769 --> 00:57:20,937
Maybe he cut off his son.
How do we know?
887
00:57:21,021 --> 00:57:23,606
It's out, Vera.
I won't have anything to do with it.
888
00:57:24,817 --> 00:57:27,068
I think you will.
889
00:57:27,152 --> 00:57:30,696
Look, Vera, I'll do anything
within reason, but not that.
890
00:57:30,781 --> 00:57:32,698
So forget it or find yourself another stooge.
891
00:57:32,783 --> 00:57:34,033
You sap!
892
00:57:34,785 --> 00:57:36,911
You'll be fixed for the rest of your life
as Charlie Haskell.
893
00:57:36,995 --> 00:57:40,081
You can take your inheritance and go away.
No more worrying about the rent.
894
00:57:40,165 --> 00:57:42,291
No sweating, scheming, wondering
where your next meal's coming from!
895
00:57:42,376 --> 00:57:43,417
Think about that, Roberts!
896
00:57:43,502 --> 00:57:46,295
Vera, please. You're talking too loud.
897
00:57:46,713 --> 00:57:49,298
On this I'm splitting 50-50 with you.
Sure, why not?
898
00:57:49,383 --> 00:57:51,050
We're both alike.
Both born in the same gutter.
899
00:57:51,135 --> 00:57:52,301
Now take it easy, Vera.
900
00:57:52,386 --> 00:57:54,637
There's people around here.
You don't know what you're talking...
901
00:57:55,806 --> 00:57:59,684
We'll wait till we read that old man
Haskell's dead. Then you show up.
902
00:57:59,768 --> 00:58:02,061
Like you read in New York
that he was sick.
903
00:58:02,146 --> 00:58:04,772
No! Suppose he doesn't die?
904
00:58:04,857 --> 00:58:06,941
He will. I know he will.
Something tells me.
905
00:58:09,611 --> 00:58:12,405
[Al narrating] But as much as I insisted
I would have no part of her scheme,
906
00:58:12,489 --> 00:58:14,448
Vera was taking it for granted I would.
907
00:58:16,535 --> 00:58:19,954
Neither of us had our mind on the cards
as we played that night.
908
00:58:20,038 --> 00:58:23,207
I knew we were just trying to kill time
between newspaper editions.
909
00:58:24,042 --> 00:58:26,002
This was a deathwatch for Vera.
910
00:58:27,129 --> 00:58:28,713
Maybe it was for me too.
911
00:58:28,797 --> 00:58:32,383
Don't you realize if I'm caught they'll want
to know where I got the car and stuff?
912
00:58:32,467 --> 00:58:35,595
- Then they'll have me on a murder charge.
- If you're smart, you won't get caught.
913
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:37,054
I knock with seven.
914
00:58:37,139 --> 00:58:39,348
And if I'm caught,
don't you realize you'll be out too?
915
00:58:39,808 --> 00:58:42,935
Eighteen points. That gives me 30.
916
00:58:44,188 --> 00:58:45,438
How will I be out?
917
00:58:45,522 --> 00:58:47,982
You'll be out $1,850 we would have gotten
on the car.
918
00:58:48,066 --> 00:58:49,483
Really, Vera, you'd be an awful chump
919
00:58:49,568 --> 00:58:51,569
if you threw away all that dough
on a dizzy long shot.
920
00:58:51,653 --> 00:58:52,904
Let me sell the bus tomorrow.
921
00:58:52,988 --> 00:58:54,655
With the money it'll bring
and what you've already got,
922
00:58:54,740 --> 00:58:56,449
a clever kid like you
can run it up in no time.
923
00:58:56,533 --> 00:58:59,035
- Then we'd both be in the clear.
- I'll be in the clear anyway.
924
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:00,912
Maybe. Maybe.
925
00:59:00,996 --> 00:59:02,580
But if I got caught...
926
00:59:03,540 --> 00:59:06,083
- I'd get good and sore at you, you know.
- You mean you'd squeal?
927
00:59:06,168 --> 00:59:08,377
- Well, no, not squeal exactly...
- Never mind what you meant!
928
00:59:11,048 --> 00:59:14,425
Even if you did tell the cops
I was in on it with you,
929
00:59:14,509 --> 00:59:15,885
what could they do to me?
930
00:59:16,929 --> 00:59:19,347
They might give me the same medicine
they gave you.
931
00:59:19,431 --> 00:59:21,140
- Yeah.
- A rope.
932
00:59:23,644 --> 00:59:25,770
But I'm on my way anyhow.
933
00:59:27,731 --> 00:59:29,732
All they'll be doing will be rushing it.
934
00:59:30,359 --> 00:59:32,818
All right. But think of the 1,850 you'd lose.
935
00:59:32,903 --> 00:59:35,655
You'd kick yourself along the block
if you let that get away from you.
936
00:59:35,739 --> 00:59:38,658
I'll take the chance. Want another drink?
937
00:59:38,742 --> 00:59:41,744
You're being a goon. That's the way
people wind up behind the eight ball.
938
00:59:41,828 --> 00:59:44,330
Once they get a few dollars,
they become greedy and want more.
939
00:59:44,414 --> 00:59:45,706
My, my.
940
00:59:45,791 --> 00:59:46,791
- Caesar.
- Who?
941
00:59:46,875 --> 00:59:49,585
You know, that Roman general?
He got his for being greedy.
942
00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:52,838
He wasn't satisfied.
So the final windup was he took the count.
943
00:59:52,923 --> 00:59:55,299
A couple of days ago you didn't have a dime.
944
00:59:55,384 --> 00:59:58,219
Why, you were so broke
you couldn't pay cash for a postage stamp.
945
00:59:58,303 --> 01:00:01,347
Now you've got almost $700,
with 1,850 in the offing.
946
01:00:01,431 --> 01:00:03,099
Take my advice. Don't try for more.
947
01:00:03,183 --> 01:00:05,768
I'm tired of this game.
Let's have some blackjack.
948
01:00:05,852 --> 01:00:06,686
Play solitaire.
949
01:00:06,770 --> 01:00:09,313
- I will, if that's the way you feel about it.
- That's the way I feel about it.
950
01:00:09,398 --> 01:00:11,607
Getting sore and throwing things
won't help much, Roberts.
951
01:00:11,692 --> 01:00:15,111
I'm merely doing you a favor. I help you out of
a jam by keepin' my mouth shut.
952
01:00:15,195 --> 01:00:18,072
I show you how to make some soft money,
and what thanks do I get?
953
01:00:18,156 --> 01:00:19,156
- Thanks?
- Sure.
954
01:00:19,241 --> 01:00:21,659
Or would you rather I called the cops and told
them you killed a man and stole his money?
955
01:00:21,743 --> 01:00:22,827
- I didn't kill anybody.
- Yes, you did.
956
01:00:22,911 --> 01:00:25,705
- No, I didn't. You know I didn't.
- All right, then.
957
01:00:28,542 --> 01:00:30,251
Suppose I call the cops?
958
01:00:30,335 --> 01:00:32,920
If you're innocent,
what do you got to be scared of?
959
01:00:33,005 --> 01:00:36,590
Okay, call 'em, you mutt. Go ahead and call 'em.
See if I care.
960
01:00:36,675 --> 01:00:39,552
- At least they'll give me a square deal.
- You want me to call 'em?
961
01:00:39,636 --> 01:00:43,597
You heard me. But I'm warning ya.
If I'm pinched, I'll swear you were in on it.
962
01:00:43,682 --> 01:00:46,976
I'll say that you helped me.
If I'm frying, I'll get even with you.
963
01:00:47,060 --> 01:00:48,686
You wouldn't dare. You're chicken!
964
01:00:48,770 --> 01:00:52,815
Yeah? Then try it and see.
Call 'em. Yeah.
965
01:00:53,650 --> 01:00:55,067
Okay, I will.
966
01:00:57,112 --> 01:01:00,489
[dialing]
967
01:01:07,706 --> 01:01:09,915
Information.
968
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,835
I want the number
of the Hollywood police station.
969
01:01:14,713 --> 01:01:16,756
Okay, I got it. Thanks.
970
01:01:17,966 --> 01:01:19,592
[phone hook clicks]
971
01:01:19,676 --> 01:01:21,677
- [dialing]
- Wait a minute, Vera. You wouldn't do that.
972
01:01:21,762 --> 01:01:23,721
Oh, wouldn't I? Give me that
and I'll show you if I would!
973
01:01:23,805 --> 01:01:25,681
Take it easy now. Let's talk this over.
974
01:01:25,766 --> 01:01:27,558
[Al narrating]
This was early in the evening.
975
01:01:27,642 --> 01:01:32,146
And the conversation, while hectic,
was at least pitched low.
976
01:01:32,230 --> 01:01:36,776
But as the minutes passed and more obstacles
to her plan popped into my head,
977
01:01:36,860 --> 01:01:38,486
the air got blue.
978
01:01:38,570 --> 01:01:41,822
Each word coming from our lips
cracked like a whip.
979
01:01:41,907 --> 01:01:45,785
I reminded her that as Charles Haskell
I didn't even know my mother's name,
980
01:01:45,869 --> 01:01:47,578
where I'd gone to school,
981
01:01:47,662 --> 01:01:49,413
the name of my best friend,
982
01:01:49,498 --> 01:01:51,415
whether I had an Aunt Emma or not,
983
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:54,794
my religion, and if I'd ever owned a dog.
984
01:01:54,878 --> 01:01:57,463
I didn't even know
what my middle initial stood for.
985
01:01:57,547 --> 01:02:00,925
I also pointed out that the real Haskell
had a scar on his forearm.
986
01:02:01,510 --> 01:02:03,302
His people never saw that scar.
987
01:02:03,387 --> 01:02:05,596
He told me he ran away
right after putting out the kid's eye.
988
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,140
Yeah, but his father knew he was cut.
There'd have to be some kind of mark.
989
01:02:08,225 --> 01:02:10,434
So what?
990
01:02:10,519 --> 01:02:14,438
The old man's dead or will be.
I hope by tomorrow morning's papers.
991
01:02:14,523 --> 01:02:18,025
Anyway, you could cut yourself
a little, couldn't ya?
992
01:02:19,027 --> 01:02:22,321
Boy, for that kind of dough,
I'd let you cut my leg off.
993
01:02:22,406 --> 01:02:23,989
You're drunk and you're crazy mad, Vera.
994
01:02:24,074 --> 01:02:26,033
Turn me in if you want to,
but I won't get mixed up in this.
995
01:02:26,118 --> 01:02:28,160
Besides, how do we know?
Haskell was such a phony.
996
01:02:28,245 --> 01:02:30,371
Maybe he wasn't the man's son at all.
Maybe he just dreamed it up.
997
01:02:30,455 --> 01:02:35,918
Well, dreaming or not, you won't be dreaming
when the law taps you on the shoulder.
998
01:02:36,002 --> 01:02:39,588
There's a cute little gas chamber
waiting for you, Roberts.
999
01:02:39,673 --> 01:02:43,134
And I hear extradition to Arizona's a cinch.
1000
01:02:43,218 --> 01:02:45,052
Where's that phone?
1001
01:02:45,137 --> 01:02:46,512
- Vera.
- Leave me alone!
1002
01:02:46,596 --> 01:02:50,057
- Vera!
- I wanna phone, call the police.
1003
01:02:50,767 --> 01:02:54,812
I hate you, you stinker.
You leave me alone!
1004
01:02:54,896 --> 01:02:57,106
I'll let you alone when you promise to leave
the phone where it is.
1005
01:02:57,190 --> 01:02:59,150
- You're drunk. You don't know what you're doing.
- You're hurting me.
1006
01:02:59,234 --> 01:03:00,860
Will you promise?
1007
01:03:00,944 --> 01:03:02,528
All right.
1008
01:03:07,492 --> 01:03:10,327
- You hurt me.
- I'm sorry, but...
1009
01:03:10,412 --> 01:03:13,372
- And it's hot in here! Open up a window!
- It's not hot!
1010
01:03:13,457 --> 01:03:16,125
Don't tell me!
Now do you do it or do I do it?
1011
01:03:18,086 --> 01:03:19,837
You're no gentleman, see?
1012
01:03:19,921 --> 01:03:23,299
Yeah. All right, I'll open up the window.
1013
01:03:26,428 --> 01:03:27,511
Vera!
1014
01:03:31,892 --> 01:03:34,643
Vera, open the door.
Please open the door.
1015
01:03:34,728 --> 01:03:36,854
Vera, open the door.
Don't use the phone. Listen to me.
1016
01:03:37,522 --> 01:03:40,983
I don't like you, Roberts.
You're no gentleman, see?
1017
01:03:41,067 --> 01:03:45,154
You hurt my hand,
and I'm gonna get even with you.
1018
01:03:45,238 --> 01:03:48,407
If you don't open the door,
I'm gonna kick it down, Vera.
1019
01:03:48,492 --> 01:03:51,368
Vera, don't call the cops.
Listen to me, I'll do anything you say.
1020
01:03:52,287 --> 01:03:53,746
Vera, let me in!
1021
01:03:55,207 --> 01:03:56,665
I'll break the phone!
1022
01:04:14,267 --> 01:04:17,269
[grunting]
1023
01:04:22,609 --> 01:04:23,943
Vera.
1024
01:04:34,579 --> 01:04:36,539
[Al narrating] The world is full of skeptics.
1025
01:04:37,290 --> 01:04:39,667
I know. I'm one myself.
1026
01:04:40,669 --> 01:04:43,712
In the Haskell business, how many of you
would believe he fell out of the car?
1027
01:04:43,797 --> 01:04:46,173
And now, after killing Vera
without really meaning to do it,
1028
01:04:46,258 --> 01:04:48,676
how many of you would believe
it wasn't premeditated?
1029
01:04:49,719 --> 01:04:53,264
In a jury room, every last man of you
would go down shouting
1030
01:04:53,348 --> 01:04:56,058
that she had me over a barrel
and my only out was force.
1031
01:04:58,103 --> 01:04:59,728
The room was still.
1032
01:05:00,730 --> 01:05:03,691
So quiet that for a while I'd wondered
if I'd suddenly gone deaf.
1033
01:05:04,484 --> 01:05:06,235
It was pure fear, of course.
1034
01:05:06,319 --> 01:05:08,195
And I was hysterical,
1035
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:09,989
but without making a sound.
1036
01:05:11,324 --> 01:05:14,285
Vera was dead, and I was her murderer.
1037
01:05:15,370 --> 01:05:19,873
Murderer. What an awful word that is.
But I'd become one.
1038
01:05:19,958 --> 01:05:22,042
I'd better not get caught.
1039
01:05:22,127 --> 01:05:24,628
What evidence there was around the place
had to be destroyed.
1040
01:05:24,713 --> 01:05:26,505
And from the looks of things, there was plenty.
1041
01:05:26,590 --> 01:05:28,299
Looking around the room at things we'd bought
1042
01:05:28,383 --> 01:05:30,801
was like looking into the faces of
a hundred people who'd seen us together
1043
01:05:30,885 --> 01:05:32,803
and who remembered me.
1044
01:05:32,887 --> 01:05:35,306
This was the kind of testimony
I couldn't rub out.
1045
01:05:36,808 --> 01:05:38,058
No.
1046
01:05:38,143 --> 01:05:41,312
I could burn clothes and hide bottles
for the next five years.
1047
01:05:41,396 --> 01:05:42,855
There'd always be witnesses.
1048
01:05:42,939 --> 01:05:44,732
The landlady for one.
She could identify me.
1049
01:05:44,816 --> 01:05:46,233
The car dealer, the waitress in the drive-in,
1050
01:05:46,318 --> 01:05:48,819
the girl in the dress shop,
and that guy in the liquor store.
1051
01:05:48,903 --> 01:05:50,696
They could all identify me.
1052
01:05:52,032 --> 01:05:55,868
I was cooked. Done for.
I had to get out of there.
1053
01:05:57,203 --> 01:05:59,330
While once I remained beside a dead body
1054
01:05:59,414 --> 01:06:02,416
planning carefully how to avoid
being accused of killing him,
1055
01:06:02,500 --> 01:06:04,752
this time I couldn't.
1056
01:06:04,836 --> 01:06:06,503
This time I was guilty.
1057
01:06:07,422 --> 01:06:09,923
I knew it. Felt it.
1058
01:06:10,967 --> 01:06:13,218
I was like a guy suffering from shock.
1059
01:06:13,303 --> 01:06:14,970
Things were whirling around in my head.
1060
01:06:15,055 --> 01:06:17,890
I couldn't make myself think right.
1061
01:06:17,974 --> 01:06:21,435
All I could think of was the guy with
the saxophone and what he was playing.
1062
01:06:22,437 --> 01:06:24,021
It wasn't a love song anymore.
1063
01:06:24,814 --> 01:06:26,565
It was a dirge.
1064
01:07:12,028 --> 01:07:14,113
[jukebox: up-tempo band music]
1065
01:07:14,197 --> 01:07:16,615
[Al narrating]
But my problems weren't solved.
1066
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:19,493
I had to stay away from New York
for all time.
1067
01:07:20,328 --> 01:07:23,622
Because Al Roberts was listed as dead
and had to stay dead.
1068
01:07:24,332 --> 01:07:25,999
And I could never go back to Hollywood.
1069
01:07:26,835 --> 01:07:28,794
Someone might recognize me as Haskell.
1070
01:07:30,130 --> 01:07:33,048
- Then, too, there was Sue.
- [music stops]
1071
01:07:34,467 --> 01:07:37,803
I could never go to her with a thing
like this hanging over my head.
1072
01:07:39,180 --> 01:07:42,474
All I could do was pray she'd be happy.
1073
01:07:53,486 --> 01:07:57,656
I was in Bakersfield before I read
that Vera's body was discovered.
1074
01:07:57,741 --> 01:08:01,368
And that the police were looking for Haskell
in connection with his wife's murder.
1075
01:08:02,871 --> 01:08:04,413
Isn't that a laugh?
1076
01:08:05,081 --> 01:08:09,001
Haskell got me into this mess
and Haskell was getting me out of it.
1077
01:08:09,085 --> 01:08:11,170
The police were searching for a dead man.
1078
01:08:14,674 --> 01:08:16,884
I keep trying to forget what happened...
1079
01:08:18,261 --> 01:08:22,973
and wonder what my life might have been
if that car of Haskell's hadn't stopped.
1080
01:08:24,768 --> 01:08:26,935
But one thing I don't have to wonder about.
1081
01:08:28,146 --> 01:08:29,605
I know.
1082
01:08:31,107 --> 01:08:34,234
Someday a car will stop to pick me up
that I never thumbed.
1083
01:08:38,990 --> 01:08:39,865
Yes.
1084
01:08:40,742 --> 01:08:44,411
Fate... or some mysterious force
1085
01:08:44,496 --> 01:08:47,414
can put the finger on you or me
1086
01:08:47,499 --> 01:08:49,500
for no good reason at all.

Al Roberts, an unemployed piano player, hitches a ride, arriving at a roadside diner in Reno, Nevada. Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.
Al recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.
In Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.
Al realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.
Al crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.
In Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.
Back at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.
Al gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of "his wife." Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest.

00:06:26,428 --> 00:06:31,223
# They can't believe
That you're in love with me #
67
00:06:32,392 --> 00:06:38,189
# I have always placed you far above me #
68
00:06:38,273 --> 00:06:43,778
# I just can't imagine that you love me #
69
00:06:43,862 --> 00:06:47,073
# And after all is said and done #
70
00:06:47,157 --> 00:06:50,284
# To think that I'm the lucky one #
71
00:06:50,368 --> 00:06:55,748
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
72
00:07:02,631 --> 00:07:04,715
[Al narrating] It wasn't much of a club, really.
73
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,300
You know the kind.
74
00:07:06,384 --> 00:07:08,385
A joint where you could have a sandwich
and a few drinks,
75
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:11,055
and run interference for your girl
on the dance floor.
76
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:15,101
- [playing romantic melody]
- I fronted the piano in there every night
77
00:07:15,185 --> 00:07:17,311
from 8:00 until the place closed up,
78
00:07:17,395 --> 00:07:19,563
which usually meant 4:00 in the morning.
79
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:22,066
A good job as jobs went in those days.
80
00:07:25,487 --> 00:07:28,739
Then, too, there was Sue,
81
00:07:28,824 --> 00:07:31,784
who made working there
a little like working in heaven.
82
00:07:32,244 --> 00:07:36,372
But how we felt about each other, well,
there was nothing very unusual in that.
83
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:39,834
I was an ordinary healthy guy,
and she was an ordinary healthy girl,
84
00:07:39,918 --> 00:07:43,170
and when you add those two together,
you get an ordinary healthy romance,
85
00:07:43,255 --> 00:07:44,672
which is the old story.
86
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:49,426
Sure. But somehow
the most wonderful thing in the world.
87
00:07:49,511 --> 00:07:51,846
[continues playing, rapidly]
88
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:59,436
All in all, I was a pretty lucky guy.
89
00:08:12,450 --> 00:08:15,494
Mr. Patterewsky, I presume?
It's beautiful.
90
00:08:15,579 --> 00:08:17,663
You're going to make Carnegie Hall yet, Al.
91
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:20,332
Yeah. As a janitor.
92
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:22,251
I'll make my debut in the basement.
93
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:26,005
I don't blame you for being bitter,
darling, but you mustn't give up hope.
94
00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:27,798
- Why, some day...
- Yeah, some day,
95
00:08:27,883 --> 00:08:29,633
if I don't get arthritis first.
96
00:08:29,718 --> 00:08:31,385
In the meantime, let's blow this trap.
97
00:08:31,469 --> 00:08:32,845
[piano lid thuds]
98
00:08:48,737 --> 00:08:49,737
[door closes]
99
00:08:51,323 --> 00:08:53,782
- Like to get something to eat, hon?
- Oh, I don't think so, Al.
100
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:56,911
I lose my appetite working in this fleabag.
101
00:08:56,995 --> 00:08:58,954
- Let's go home.
- Okay.
102
00:08:59,831 --> 00:09:02,416
I can't stand much more of that dump.
103
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:05,211
Did you see that drunk tonight
trying to paw me?
104
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:08,547
- No, what drunk?
- Does it matter what drunk?
105
00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:11,800
Say, what's the matter with you tonight, darling?
106
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:14,511
That's the third time you started
to tell me something and then stopped.
107
00:09:15,305 --> 00:09:17,806
We shouldn't have any secrets
from each other, Sue.
108
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:20,267
Next week, we're gonna make with a ring
and a license. We'll be a team.
109
00:09:20,352 --> 00:09:23,395
Yes, that's right. In the bush league.
110
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,190
- I don't get ya.
- We've been struck out.
111
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:29,276
That's a funny way to talk, darling.
112
00:09:29,361 --> 00:09:31,737
- Don't you wanna marry me?
- Al, look, I love you.
113
00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:34,198
You know I do.
And I want to marry you.
114
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:36,742
- But...?
- But not now.
115
00:09:36,826 --> 00:09:39,286
Only after we've made good.
116
00:09:39,371 --> 00:09:40,996
Sunday I'm going away.
117
00:09:41,706 --> 00:09:43,666
Oh, I know you'll think it's silly.
118
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:46,001
That's why I hesitated to tell you.
119
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:47,795
But I'm going to California.
120
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:50,297
I wanna try my luck in Hollywood.
121
00:09:50,548 --> 00:09:52,758
[Al] That's the most
stupid thing I ever heard of.
122
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:56,387
Don't you know millions of people go out there
every year and wind up polishing cuspidors?
123
00:09:56,471 --> 00:09:57,638
I thought you had better sense.
124
00:09:57,722 --> 00:09:59,598
You sound as if you think
I don't have any talent.
125
00:09:59,683 --> 00:10:02,101
- That has nothing to do with it.
- I'll make out all right.
126
00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:03,936
Maybe. But what about me?
127
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:06,563
Doesn't it mean anything to you
that you're busting up all our plans?
128
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:09,817
- We may not see each other for years?
- It won't be that long.
129
00:10:09,901 --> 00:10:12,111
- I thought you loved me.
- I do.
130
00:10:12,195 --> 00:10:13,737
You know I do.
131
00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:18,325
Well, here we are.
132
00:10:20,787 --> 00:10:21,787
Al...
133
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:25,541
Al, why can't you see my side of it?
134
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:28,294
I'm young. We both are. And...
135
00:10:28,378 --> 00:10:31,005
And we've got all the time in the world
to settle down.
136
00:10:31,715 --> 00:10:33,966
[sighs] Really, darling.
137
00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:37,303
What I'm doing is the only sane thing to do.
138
00:10:37,387 --> 00:10:40,889
[sighs] I... I hate the thought
of being so far away from you.
139
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:44,226
But... But we'll be together again some day.
140
00:10:44,311 --> 00:10:47,563
[sighs] Maybe you'll decide
to come out too, later on.
141
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:49,898
- So long.
- Al.
142
00:10:50,734 --> 00:10:53,068
Aren't you gonna kiss me good night?
143
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,237
Sure, why not?
144
00:10:57,741 --> 00:10:58,991
Good night.
145
00:11:05,248 --> 00:11:07,708
[playing romantic melody]
146
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:34,276
[playing jauntily, jazzy]
147
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:47,164
[changing rhythm, slower]
148
00:12:09,604 --> 00:12:12,231
[changing rhythm, jittery]
149
00:12:18,822 --> 00:12:21,824
[no audible dialogue]
150
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:40,717
[piano playing stops]
151
00:12:40,802 --> 00:12:42,469
- [applause]
- Say, Roberts.
152
00:12:42,554 --> 00:12:45,848
You hit the jackpot this time. Ten bucks.
153
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:47,391
Thanks.
154
00:12:53,481 --> 00:12:56,024
[Al narrating] So when this drunk handed me
a ten-spot after a request,
155
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:57,526
I couldn't get very excited.
156
00:12:57,777 --> 00:13:01,363
What was it, I asked myself?
A piece of paper crawling with germs.
157
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:03,866
Couldn't buy anything I wanted.
158
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:05,242
It couldn't...
159
00:13:08,246 --> 00:13:09,705
Then I thought of something.
160
00:13:33,104 --> 00:13:34,313
Long distance.
161
00:13:34,397 --> 00:13:36,857
I'd like to put a call through to Los Angeles.
162
00:13:36,941 --> 00:13:39,193
Miss Harvey. Sue Harvey.
163
00:13:39,277 --> 00:13:41,069
H-A-R-V-E-Y.
164
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:44,615
The number is CRestview 65723.
165
00:14:04,594 --> 00:14:06,386
- 4.50.
- [coin clatters]
166
00:14:06,471 --> 00:14:08,347
- 4.75.
- [coin clatters]
167
00:14:08,431 --> 00:14:09,431
5.00.
168
00:14:12,477 --> 00:14:15,020
Hello, Sue? This is Al.
169
00:14:15,104 --> 00:14:17,356
Oh, baby, it's great to hear from you too.
170
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,651
What's that? You do?
Oh, me too, darling.
171
00:14:20,735 --> 00:14:23,362
I thought I'd go batty without you.
I just had to...
172
00:14:23,446 --> 00:14:24,446
Huh?
173
00:14:25,406 --> 00:14:27,449
You're workin' as a hash slinger?
174
00:14:27,534 --> 00:14:28,867
Gee, honey, that's tough.
175
00:14:28,952 --> 00:14:32,371
Those guys out in Hollywood don't know
the real thing when it's right in front of them.
176
00:14:32,455 --> 00:14:34,164
You just stick it out, Sue, baby.
177
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:37,417
Keep goin' around to those casting offices.
I'm sure you'll click.
178
00:14:38,002 --> 00:14:40,629
Look, I'll tell you what.
You stay put out there. I'll come to you.
179
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:43,632
No, don't try to stop me. Just expect me.
180
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:46,760
Train? Who knows?
Train, plane, bus, magic carpet.
181
00:14:46,844 --> 00:14:50,430
I'll be there if I have to crawl.
If I have to travel by pogo stick.
182
00:14:50,515 --> 00:14:53,809
And then... let's get married right away.
183
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:59,439
That's the stuff. That's what
I've been wanting to hear you say.
184
00:15:00,525 --> 00:15:03,110
Well, good-bye for now.
185
00:15:04,362 --> 00:15:06,905
I'll be seeing you soon. [kisses]
186
00:15:07,282 --> 00:15:10,492
Yeah. [kisses] Bye.
187
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:18,500
[Al narrating] The only way I could
cross country was to thumb rides,
188
00:15:18,585 --> 00:15:21,587
for even after hocking everything,
I only had enough money to eat.
189
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:24,923
Money. You know what that is.
190
00:15:25,717 --> 00:15:27,551
It's the stuff you never have enough of.
191
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:29,720
Little green things
with George Washington's picture
192
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:33,432
that men slave for,
commit crimes for, die for.
193
00:15:34,183 --> 00:15:36,226
It's the stuff that has caused
more trouble in the world
194
00:15:36,311 --> 00:15:38,186
than anything else we ever invented,
195
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:41,273
simply because there's too little of it.
196
00:15:41,357 --> 00:15:43,442
At least I had too little of it.
197
00:15:43,526 --> 00:15:45,319
So it was me for the thumb.
198
00:16:01,753 --> 00:16:03,170
Ever done any hitchhiking?
199
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:05,881
It's not much fun, believe me.
200
00:16:06,549 --> 00:16:08,842
Oh, yeah,
I know all about how it's an education,
201
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:11,595
and how you get to meet a lot of people,
and all that.
202
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:15,849
But me, from now on
I'll take my education in college,
203
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:20,187
or in P.S. 62, or I'll send $1.98
in stamps for ten easy lessons.
204
00:16:29,447 --> 00:16:33,367
Thumbing rides may save you bus fare,
but it's dangerous.
205
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:37,954
You never know what's in store for you
when you hear the squeal of brakes.
206
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,001
If only I had known what I was getting into
that day in Arizona.
207
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:46,546
Here, throw that in the back seat.
208
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:51,301
Okay, let's go.
Make sure that door's closed.
209
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:53,553
- [door closes]
- [lock clacks]
210
00:17:05,483 --> 00:17:09,319
You know, Emily Post ought to write
a book of rules for guys thumbing rides.
211
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:13,031
Because as it is now you never know
what's right and what's wrong.
212
00:17:13,783 --> 00:17:17,285
We rode along for a little while,
neither one of us saying anything.
213
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:19,538
I was glad of that.
214
00:17:19,622 --> 00:17:22,457
I never know what to say
to strange people driving cars.
215
00:17:23,418 --> 00:17:26,545
And too, you can never tell
if a guy wants to talk.
216
00:17:26,629 --> 00:17:29,631
A lot of rides have been cut short
because of a big mouth.
217
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:34,845
So I kept my mouth shut
until he started opening up.
218
00:17:35,596 --> 00:17:38,473
Hand me that little box
in the compartment, will ya, pal?
219
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:42,936
Hold the wheel, will ya?
220
00:17:44,397 --> 00:17:45,397
[pills rattling]
221
00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:53,029
[glove box closes]
222
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:56,450
- How far are ya going?
- LA.
223
00:17:56,534 --> 00:17:58,577
Well, you're really traveling aren't ya?
224
00:17:58,661 --> 00:18:00,704
Yeah, but I don't expect to make it
for a couple years
225
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:02,372
at the rate I've been promoting rides.
226
00:18:02,457 --> 00:18:03,582
Not much luck, huh?
227
00:18:03,666 --> 00:18:05,459
Sure. All bad.
228
00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:07,753
Not many people stop for a guy these days.
229
00:18:07,837 --> 00:18:09,296
Afraid of a stickup maybe.
230
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:10,505
Ah, you can't blame 'em.
231
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:13,675
- Where ya comin' from?
- New York.
232
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,137
Well, New York. You're in luck this time.
233
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:19,139
I'm goin' all the way.
234
00:18:19,223 --> 00:18:20,807
Right through to Los Angeles.
235
00:18:22,018 --> 00:18:24,102
- You drive a car?
- Sure.
236
00:18:24,187 --> 00:18:26,897
- Whenever you're tired, let me know.
- I'll holler.
237
00:18:28,691 --> 00:18:30,776
I guess at least an hour passed
before I noticed
238
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:32,778
those deep scratches in his right hand.
239
00:18:33,237 --> 00:18:34,696
They were wicked.
240
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:37,532
Three puffy red lines
about a quarter of an inch apart.
241
00:18:38,576 --> 00:18:40,869
He must have seen me looking at them
because he said...
242
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:43,288
Beauties, aren't they?
243
00:18:44,081 --> 00:18:45,957
They're gonna be scars someday.
244
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:49,002
What an animal.
245
00:18:49,086 --> 00:18:51,880
Whatever it was, it must have been
pretty big and vicious to have done that.
246
00:18:52,381 --> 00:18:54,424
Right on both counts, New York.
247
00:18:54,509 --> 00:18:57,636
I was tussling with the most
dangerous animal in the world...
248
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,804
a woman.
249
00:18:59,388 --> 00:19:01,014
She must have been Tarzan's mate.
250
00:19:01,098 --> 00:19:02,766
Looks like you lost the bout.
251
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:04,559
Certainly wasn't a draw.
252
00:19:05,394 --> 00:19:08,313
You know, there ought to be a law
against dames with claws.
253
00:19:08,397 --> 00:19:09,314
Yeah.
254
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:11,483
I tossed her out of the car on her ear.
255
00:19:12,318 --> 00:19:16,655
Was I wrong? Give a lift to a tomato,
you expect her to be nice, don't ya?
256
00:19:16,739 --> 00:19:17,656
Yeah.
257
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:20,242
After all, what kind of dames thumb rides?
258
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:22,577
- Sunday school teachers?
- Yeah.
259
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:25,747
The little witch.
260
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:28,458
She must've thought she was riding
with some fall guy.
261
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:32,337
And me who's been booking horses
around racetracks since I was 20.
262
00:19:33,047 --> 00:19:34,923
[scoffs] I've known a million dames like her.
263
00:19:35,383 --> 00:19:37,217
- Two million.
- Yeah.
264
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:42,138
Stopped the car, opened the door...
265
00:19:42,223 --> 00:19:44,641
"Take it on the Arthur Duffy, sister,"
I told her.
266
00:19:44,725 --> 00:19:48,103
- That's the stuff.
- As I was down on her. [laughs]
267
00:19:48,479 --> 00:19:52,148
But if you wanna see a real scar, brother,
get a load of this.
268
00:19:53,442 --> 00:19:55,026
Wow.
269
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:57,904
- I got that one dueling.
- Dueling?
270
00:19:58,406 --> 00:19:59,865
Yeah. We were just kidding, of course.
271
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:02,450
My dad owned a couple of
Franco-Prussian sabers.
272
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:04,244
Kept 'em on the wall for decorations.
273
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:09,749
One day, another kid and I took 'em down
when the old man wasn't around. Had a duel.
274
00:20:09,834 --> 00:20:11,376
[chuckles]
275
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:13,587
He hit me in the arm, here.
276
00:20:13,671 --> 00:20:15,338
Pretty mean cut.
277
00:20:15,423 --> 00:20:16,965
Infection set in later.
278
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:18,842
Yeah, I can see that.
279
00:20:19,093 --> 00:20:21,428
- Oh, gimme that box again, will ya?
- Yeah.
280
00:20:24,765 --> 00:20:26,099
[pills rattling]
281
00:20:31,355 --> 00:20:32,397
[glove box closes]
282
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:35,525
Pain made me lose my head, I guess.
283
00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:37,694
I began slashing.
284
00:20:37,778 --> 00:20:40,488
Before I knew it,
I put the other kid's eye out.
285
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:43,950
- That was tough.
- Well, it was just an accident, of course.
286
00:20:44,035 --> 00:20:48,413
But you know how kids are. I got scared...
decided I was gonna run away from home.
287
00:20:48,915 --> 00:20:51,958
Old man almost clocked me
when I was packin' my duds.
288
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:56,296
If the bloody rag I had wrapped around my wrist
hadn't caught his attention,
289
00:20:56,380 --> 00:20:58,048
he'd have seen the bundle for sure.
290
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:01,551
But I beat it when he was phoning for a doctor.
291
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:06,598
That was 15, 16 years ago.
I haven't been home since.
292
00:21:10,561 --> 00:21:12,729
Pull in there for a bite of something, huh?
293
00:21:12,813 --> 00:21:14,481
[Al narrating] A bite of something.
294
00:21:14,565 --> 00:21:16,066
Brother, was I hungry.
295
00:21:16,150 --> 00:21:18,401
I hadn't had anything in my stomach for hours.
296
00:21:19,362 --> 00:21:21,404
Yet even with that gnawing
in the pit of my belly,
297
00:21:21,489 --> 00:21:24,324
I didn't want to be in too big a rush
to put on the feed bag.
298
00:21:25,076 --> 00:21:27,827
First, I had to make sure
this guy knew the score.
299
00:21:27,912 --> 00:21:31,247
If I got him down on me,
it was good-bye ticket to Hollywood.
300
00:21:32,083 --> 00:21:33,708
I'll wait out here for you, mister.
301
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:36,753
If it's the money, don't worry about
paying for it. This time it's on me.
302
00:21:36,837 --> 00:21:39,255
- Well, that's white of you, Mr...
- Haskell. Think nothing of it.
303
00:21:39,340 --> 00:21:42,717
You make your first million, maybe you can
do the same for me. Come on, New York.
304
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:44,594
I gotta make the West Coast by Wednesday.
305
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:47,263
There's a horse running at
Santa Anita named Paradisiacal.
306
00:21:47,348 --> 00:21:49,933
- Means dough to me if I'm running.
- We'll make it all right.
307
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:54,688
[Al narrating] He did most of the talking
during the half hour we were in the place.
308
00:21:54,772 --> 00:21:55,772
I ate.
309
00:21:56,857 --> 00:22:01,027
He rambled on about his old man, who he hadn't
heard from since he ran away as a kid,
310
00:22:01,112 --> 00:22:02,946
and how he happened to become a bookie,
311
00:22:03,030 --> 00:22:05,740
and then all about how he got rooked in Miami.
312
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:08,660
One race, 38 grand.
They cleaned out my book.
313
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:11,079
- How do you like that?
- That was tough luck.
314
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:13,164
Yeah, and I'm supposed to be the smart guy.
315
00:22:13,249 --> 00:22:16,543
You just wait. I'm going back to Florida
next season with all kinds of jack.
316
00:22:16,627 --> 00:22:18,586
And you watch those stinkers run for cover.
317
00:22:19,547 --> 00:22:21,965
- Want anything else?
- No, thanks, I've had plenty.
318
00:22:27,638 --> 00:22:29,556
- The check there, sister?
- Mm-hmm.
319
00:22:32,601 --> 00:22:34,519
Oh, just a minute. Your change, sir.
320
00:22:34,603 --> 00:22:37,272
- Keep it, sister.
- Oh, thank you, sir. Call again.
321
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,190
I'll be waitin' outside for you
when you finish work.
322
00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:40,400
[chuckles]
323
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:41,776
Sharp chick, huh?
324
00:22:49,952 --> 00:22:52,912
[Al narrating] I drove all that night
while Haskell slept like a log.
325
00:22:53,581 --> 00:22:56,416
After a while, I began to get sleepy myself.
326
00:22:57,835 --> 00:23:01,671
I was happy though.
Soon I'd be with Sue again.
327
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:03,214
The long trip was practically over,
328
00:23:03,299 --> 00:23:06,009
and there'd be no more hoofing it
down the concrete.
329
00:23:06,761 --> 00:23:08,928
I began to think of the future,
330
00:23:09,013 --> 00:23:12,098
which couldn't have been brighter
if I'd embroidered it with neon lights.
331
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,226
It was nice to think of Sue shooting to the top.
332
00:23:16,437 --> 00:23:20,356
[chuckles] It's amazing what a full belly
can do to your imagination.
333
00:23:20,566 --> 00:23:23,276
[romantic ballad]
334
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:28,156
# Your eyes are blue
Your kisses too #
335
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,577
# I never knew what they could do #
336
00:23:32,661 --> 00:23:39,667
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
337
00:23:41,045 --> 00:23:45,632
# You're telling everyone you know #
338
00:23:45,716 --> 00:23:50,095
# I'm on your mind each place you go #
339
00:23:50,179 --> 00:23:56,017
# I can't believe that you're in love #
340
00:23:56,352 --> 00:24:02,690
# With me #
341
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:12,951
Mr. Haskell.
342
00:24:14,703 --> 00:24:15,703
Mr. Haskell?
343
00:24:18,833 --> 00:24:20,875
Mr. Haskell, wake up! It's raining.
344
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,002
Don't you think we ought to stop
and put up the top?
345
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:33,263
Mr. Haskell, I'm gonna put up the top.
346
00:24:48,154 --> 00:24:50,029
[Al narrating] Until then,
I'd done things my way.
347
00:24:50,531 --> 00:24:52,699
But from then on, something else
stepped in and shunted me off
348
00:24:52,783 --> 00:24:55,535
to a different destination
than the one I had picked for myself.
349
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:58,329
For when I pulled open that door...
350
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:05,170
Mr. Haskell, what's the matter?
Are you hurt?
351
00:25:06,255 --> 00:25:07,547
Are you hurt, Mr. Haskell?
352
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:11,467
[Al narrating]
Start your sermon. I'll listen to it.
353
00:25:12,219 --> 00:25:15,013
But I know what you're gonna hand me
even before you open your mouths.
354
00:25:15,598 --> 00:25:18,016
You're gonna tell me you don't believe
my story of how Haskell died
355
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:21,352
and give me that "don't make me laugh"
expression on your smug faces.
356
00:25:24,815 --> 00:25:26,357
I saw at once he was dead.
357
00:25:26,692 --> 00:25:28,193
And I was in for it.
358
00:25:28,277 --> 00:25:30,111
Who would believe he fell out of the car?
359
00:25:30,196 --> 00:25:31,738
If Haskell came to, which,
of course, he couldn't,
360
00:25:31,822 --> 00:25:34,240
even he would swear
I conked him over the head for his dough.
361
00:25:34,325 --> 00:25:35,491
Yes, I was in for it.
362
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:39,829
Instinct told me to run,
but then I realized it was hopeless.
363
00:25:39,914 --> 00:25:41,998
There were lots of people back down the road
who could identify me.
364
00:25:42,082 --> 00:25:44,000
That gas station guy and the waitress.
365
00:25:44,084 --> 00:25:46,419
I would be in a worse spot then
trying to explain why I beat it.
366
00:25:47,504 --> 00:25:50,381
The next possibility was to sit tight
and tell the truth when the cops came.
367
00:25:50,466 --> 00:25:53,176
But that would be crazy.
They'd laugh at the truth.
368
00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:54,552
And I'd have my head in a noose.
369
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:59,807
So what else was there to do
but hide the body and get away in the car?
370
00:25:59,892 --> 00:26:02,101
I couldn't leave the car there
with him in the gully.
371
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:03,937
That would be like erecting a tombstone.
372
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:35,385
My idea was to cover him with brush,
not to rob him.
373
00:26:35,636 --> 00:26:38,304
But then I remembered that even if
I only drove the car for 100 miles or so,
374
00:26:38,389 --> 00:26:39,722
I would need money for gas.
375
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:44,060
Besides, it was stupid of me
to leave all that money on a dead man.
376
00:26:45,145 --> 00:26:47,188
Not only that,
I'd have to take his driver's license
377
00:26:47,273 --> 00:26:48,690
in case I was stopped for something.
378
00:26:50,901 --> 00:26:52,235
I didn't like to think about it,
379
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,821
but by that time I'd done
just what the police would say I did.
380
00:26:54,905 --> 00:26:57,740
Even if I didn't... My clothes.
381
00:26:58,367 --> 00:27:00,618
The owner of such an expensive car
would never be wearing them.
382
00:27:01,662 --> 00:27:03,246
Some cop might pull me in on suspicion.
383
00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,802
[motorcycle approaches]
384
00:27:28,939 --> 00:27:30,231
Hey, you. This your car?
385
00:27:30,941 --> 00:27:33,943
Don't you know better than to leave a car
with the wheels halfway in the middle of the road?
386
00:27:34,028 --> 00:27:35,403
That's the way accidents happen.
387
00:27:35,612 --> 00:27:38,614
I... I'm sorry, Officer.
I was just putting up my top.
388
00:27:38,699 --> 00:27:41,367
- I didn't think.
- Well, the next time, think.
389
00:27:41,452 --> 00:27:43,911
I'll let you go now,
but watch your step in the future.
390
00:27:43,996 --> 00:27:46,414
I know that it's a lonely stretch,
but cars come by here once in a while.
391
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:49,334
- We have plenty of crack-ups.
- Thanks, Officer.
392
00:28:13,067 --> 00:28:15,777
[Al narrating] I left nothing in the car
that'd give me away as Roberts.
393
00:28:15,861 --> 00:28:18,529
If they found a dead man in the gully now,
it could be me.
394
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:28,122
As I drove off, it was still raining.
395
00:28:29,083 --> 00:28:31,876
The drops streaked
down the windshield like tears.
396
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:36,381
I kept imagining I was being followed,
397
00:28:36,465 --> 00:28:38,341
that I could hear sirens
back in the distance.
398
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,471
Just how long it took to cover the 60-odd
miles to the California state line,
399
00:28:43,555 --> 00:28:44,555
I don't know.
400
00:28:45,057 --> 00:28:46,641
I lost all track of time.
401
00:28:47,351 --> 00:28:51,270
But the rain had stopped and the sun was up
when I pulled up to the inspection station.
402
00:28:55,859 --> 00:28:56,692
Hello.
403
00:28:57,653 --> 00:28:59,946
- Carrying any fruits or vegetables?
- No.
404
00:29:00,030 --> 00:29:02,198
- Any livestock or poultry?
- No.
405
00:29:02,282 --> 00:29:03,741
[footsteps approaching]
406
00:29:03,826 --> 00:29:06,202
I'd like to see your registration
and driver's license, please.
407
00:29:10,749 --> 00:29:13,251
- Anything in the baggage compartment?
- Just baggage.
408
00:29:15,212 --> 00:29:18,548
Charles Haskell Jr.
Age 30, brown eyes, dark hair.
409
00:29:18,841 --> 00:29:20,216
Identifying marks, none.
410
00:29:20,884 --> 00:29:23,094
- Are you Charles Haskell Jr.?
- Yes.
411
00:29:23,178 --> 00:29:25,263
Well, remember, if you're employed,
and you stay over 30 days,
412
00:29:25,347 --> 00:29:27,223
you take out California plates.
413
00:29:27,307 --> 00:29:29,517
All right, Officer, but I'll only be
in the state a short while.
414
00:29:31,186 --> 00:29:32,270
Right. You can go now.
415
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:42,113
[Al narrating] I couldn't drive any farther
without some sleep.
416
00:29:42,197 --> 00:29:45,783
Cops or no cops, I knew
I had to hit the hay and hit it hard.
417
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,203
I was dead tired.
418
00:30:20,027 --> 00:30:20,943
No.
419
00:30:21,820 --> 00:30:23,362
No, you can't, Mr. Haskell.
420
00:30:24,323 --> 00:30:25,156
No.
421
00:30:32,706 --> 00:30:35,374
Mr. Haskell, you can't die.
422
00:30:36,502 --> 00:30:39,128
They'll think... They'll think I did it.
423
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:42,173
No, Mr. Haskell.
424
00:30:42,591 --> 00:30:44,717
No, no...
425
00:30:48,722 --> 00:30:49,805
[knocks]
426
00:30:54,019 --> 00:30:55,603
[knocking continues]
427
00:30:59,358 --> 00:31:00,233
Who's there?
428
00:31:00,317 --> 00:31:02,610
It's the maid. Can I come in and clean?
429
00:31:03,820 --> 00:31:06,322
Later... in a half-hour.
430
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:07,490
All right, sir.
431
00:31:32,057 --> 00:31:33,599
[Al narrating] There was no time to lose.
432
00:31:33,684 --> 00:31:36,227
Every minute I had to be Charles Haskell
was dangerous.
433
00:31:36,311 --> 00:31:38,521
I'd have to be Charles Haskell
until I got to some city
434
00:31:38,605 --> 00:31:40,648
where I could leave the car
and be swallowed up.
435
00:31:46,238 --> 00:31:48,864
That meant driving the car
as far as San Bernardino,
436
00:31:48,949 --> 00:31:50,491
maybe even to Los Angeles.
437
00:31:50,576 --> 00:31:52,451
In a little town, I might be noticed.
438
00:31:52,536 --> 00:31:54,328
But in a city, I should be safe enough.
439
00:31:55,581 --> 00:31:58,666
Then, after I ditched the car,
I could go on to Sue.
440
00:31:59,585 --> 00:32:02,545
But those five minutes at the state line
made me realize
441
00:32:02,629 --> 00:32:05,631
it might be a good idea to find out
a little bit about Mr. Haskell.
442
00:32:06,633 --> 00:32:09,302
Then if anybody asked me questions,
I could give the right answers.
443
00:32:10,345 --> 00:32:13,806
The first thing I found out
was that I had $768.
444
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:17,768
This was a lot of jack, but believe me,
445
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:19,895
it was the kind of money
I'd rather not have.
446
00:32:27,446 --> 00:32:31,115
And then I found out from a letter
Haskell was carting around in his bag
447
00:32:31,199 --> 00:32:33,784
that he wasn't the openhanded,
easygoing big shot
448
00:32:33,869 --> 00:32:36,412
who went around buying dinners
for strange hitchhikers.
449
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:39,832
Before I got done reading it,
I saw him more as a chiseler.
450
00:32:41,209 --> 00:32:43,836
It was written
to his old man in California,
451
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,796
the one he hadn't seen in so many years.
452
00:32:46,590 --> 00:32:51,385
In it, Haskell posed as a salesman...
of hymnals, of all things.
453
00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:54,388
It was easy to see where Haskell expected
454
00:32:54,473 --> 00:32:56,849
to raise a new stake
for his book in Miami...
455
00:32:57,684 --> 00:32:59,143
by rooking his old man.
456
00:33:00,771 --> 00:33:03,689
That was about all I found out
from his effects.
457
00:33:03,774 --> 00:33:04,857
And it was enough.
458
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:09,737
I told myself maybe old man Haskell
was lucky his son kicked off.
459
00:33:10,864 --> 00:33:12,531
He would never know it,
460
00:33:12,616 --> 00:33:16,077
but it saved him from taking a flier
in sacred literature preferred.
461
00:33:22,793 --> 00:33:24,377
[birds chirping]
462
00:33:41,186 --> 00:33:43,979
Near the airport at Desert Center,
I pulled up for water.
463
00:33:45,607 --> 00:33:46,691
There was a woman.
464
00:33:51,321 --> 00:33:53,614
Hey, you. Come on if you want a ride.
465
00:34:07,587 --> 00:34:08,587
[car hood slams]
466
00:34:39,995 --> 00:34:41,662
How far you goin'?
467
00:34:41,747 --> 00:34:43,122
How far are you going?
468
00:34:43,749 --> 00:34:46,792
[Al narrating] That took me by surprise.
I turned my head to look her over.
469
00:34:47,836 --> 00:34:50,588
She was facing straight ahead,
so I couldn't see her eyes.
470
00:34:51,006 --> 00:34:53,758
But she was young, not more than 24.
471
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:56,844
Man, she looked as if
she'd just been thrown off
472
00:34:56,928 --> 00:34:59,305
the crummiest freight train in the world.
473
00:35:00,140 --> 00:35:02,641
Yet, in spite of this,
I got the impression of beauty.
474
00:35:03,727 --> 00:35:06,020
Not the beauty of a movie actress,
mind you,
475
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,689
or the beauty you dream about
when you're with your wife,
476
00:35:08,774 --> 00:35:10,065
but a natural beauty,
477
00:35:10,567 --> 00:35:13,194
a beauty that's almost homely
because it's so real.
478
00:35:15,363 --> 00:35:17,114
Then, suddenly, she turned to face me.
479
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:20,409
- How far did you say you were going?
- Los Angeles.
480
00:35:20,494 --> 00:35:21,410
LA?
481
00:35:22,287 --> 00:35:25,790
- LA's good enough for me, mister.
- That's what I was afraid of.
482
00:35:25,874 --> 00:35:29,084
- What'd you say?
- Oh, nothing. Just thinking out loud.
483
00:35:29,169 --> 00:35:31,128
People get in trouble for doing that.
484
00:35:32,005 --> 00:35:34,715
- What's your name?
- You can call me Vera, if you like.
485
00:35:35,509 --> 00:35:37,176
- You live in Los Angeles?
- No.
486
00:35:39,054 --> 00:35:41,555
- Where you coming from?
- Oh, back there.
487
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,098
- Needles?
- No.
488
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:47,102
Oh, sure. Phoenix.
You look just like a Phoenix girl.
489
00:35:47,687 --> 00:35:49,855
- Are the girls in Phoenix that bad?
- [chuckles]
490
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:51,774
[Al narrating]
The girl must have been pretty tired
491
00:35:51,858 --> 00:35:54,944
because she fell asleep not 20 minutes
after she stepped into the car.
492
00:35:55,737 --> 00:35:59,782
She lay sprawled out with her head resting
against the far door, like Haskell.
493
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:03,452
I didn't like that part of it much,
but I didn't wake her up.
494
00:36:04,955 --> 00:36:06,872
It wasn't that this girl still worried me.
495
00:36:07,374 --> 00:36:10,376
I'd gotten over that funny feeling
I had when she looked at me,
496
00:36:10,460 --> 00:36:13,003
which I put down
as just my jangled nerves.
497
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:16,590
With her eyes closed
and the tenseness gone out of her,
498
00:36:16,675 --> 00:36:18,133
she seemed harmless enough.
499
00:36:18,885 --> 00:36:21,929
Instead of disliking her,
I began to feel sorry for her.
500
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:25,182
The poor kid probably
had had a rough time of it.
501
00:36:26,476 --> 00:36:27,977
Who was she, anyway?
502
00:36:28,061 --> 00:36:30,479
And why was she going to Los Angeles?
503
00:36:30,564 --> 00:36:32,898
And where'd she come from
in the first place?
504
00:36:32,983 --> 00:36:34,775
The only thing I knew about her
was her name.
505
00:36:35,777 --> 00:36:37,361
Not that it made any difference.
506
00:36:37,445 --> 00:36:39,738
A few hours more and we'd be in Hollywood.
507
00:36:39,823 --> 00:36:42,241
I'd forget where I parked the car
and look up Sue.
508
00:36:43,118 --> 00:36:45,286
This nightmare of being a dead man
would be over.
509
00:36:46,121 --> 00:36:48,831
Who this dame was, well,
it was no business of mine.
510
00:36:48,915 --> 00:36:52,918
Where did you leave his body?
Where did you leave the owner of this car?
511
00:36:53,003 --> 00:36:54,712
You're not fooling anyone.
512
00:36:55,297 --> 00:36:58,173
This buggy belongs to a guy named Haskell.
That's not you, mister.
513
00:36:58,258 --> 00:37:01,343
You're out of your mind. That's my name.
Charles Haskell. I can prove it.
514
00:37:01,428 --> 00:37:03,512
- Here's my driver's license.
- Save yourself the trouble, mister.
515
00:37:03,597 --> 00:37:05,848
Having Haskell's wallet
only makes it worse.
516
00:37:05,932 --> 00:37:08,017
It just so happens
I rode with Charlie Haskell
517
00:37:08,101 --> 00:37:09,685
all the way from Louisiana.
518
00:37:09,769 --> 00:37:11,854
He picked me up outside of Shreveport.
519
00:37:11,938 --> 00:37:13,564
- You rode...
- You heard me.
520
00:37:14,149 --> 00:37:15,983
[Al narrating] Then it all came back to me.
521
00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:18,652
All the talk about dueling
and scars and scratches.
522
00:37:19,613 --> 00:37:21,363
There was no doubt about it.
523
00:37:21,448 --> 00:37:23,949
Vera must be the woman
Haskell had mentioned.
524
00:37:24,034 --> 00:37:25,784
She must have passed me while I slept.
525
00:37:25,869 --> 00:37:28,871
Well? Well, I'm waiting.
526
00:37:28,955 --> 00:37:30,331
My goose was cooked.
527
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:32,082
She had me.
528
00:37:32,876 --> 00:37:34,668
That Haskell guy wasn't dead yet.
529
00:37:35,253 --> 00:37:38,172
He wasn't stretched out stiff and cold
in any Arizona gully.
530
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:41,425
He was sitting right there in the car,
laughing like mad while he haunted me.
531
00:37:43,345 --> 00:37:44,303
Well?
532
00:37:44,387 --> 00:37:47,514
There was nothing I could say.
It was her move.
533
00:37:48,224 --> 00:37:50,142
Vera, whatever her name was.
534
00:37:50,226 --> 00:37:52,478
It was just my luck
picking her up on the road.
535
00:37:53,313 --> 00:37:56,148
It couldn't have been Helen
or Mary or Evelyn or Ruth.
536
00:37:57,025 --> 00:37:59,526
It had to be the very last person
I should ever have met.
537
00:38:00,820 --> 00:38:01,820
That's life.
538
00:38:02,697 --> 00:38:05,491
Whichever way you turn,
fate sticks out a foot to trip you.
539
00:38:11,081 --> 00:38:13,457
I told her everything,
but she didn't believe my story.
540
00:38:13,541 --> 00:38:15,167
I should've saved my breath.
541
00:38:15,251 --> 00:38:17,670
That's the greatest cock-and-bull story
I ever heard.
542
00:38:17,754 --> 00:38:19,380
So he fell out of his car.
543
00:38:19,464 --> 00:38:21,507
Say, who do you think
you're talking to, a hick?
544
00:38:21,591 --> 00:38:23,592
Listen, mister. I've been around.
545
00:38:23,677 --> 00:38:27,054
And I know a wrong guy when I see one.
What'd you do, kiss him with a wrench?
546
00:38:27,138 --> 00:38:29,264
Now wait a minute.
What I told you was true.
547
00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:30,891
You see, that's why I had to do it.
548
00:38:30,976 --> 00:38:33,352
You think I killed him.
Well, the cops would've thought so too.
549
00:38:33,436 --> 00:38:35,187
Yeah, well maybe they still think so.
550
00:38:36,106 --> 00:38:38,482
What makes you so sure
I'll shut up about this?
551
00:38:38,566 --> 00:38:41,318
Vera, I'm innocent.
Give me a break, will you?
552
00:38:42,696 --> 00:38:44,488
It won't do me any good
having you pinched.
553
00:38:44,572 --> 00:38:46,115
The cops are no friends of mine.
554
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:49,076
Now, if there was a reward...
But there isn't.
555
00:38:49,703 --> 00:38:51,912
- Thanks.
- Don't thank me yet.
556
00:38:51,997 --> 00:38:55,332
I'm not through with you by a long shot.
Let's see that roll.
557
00:39:02,090 --> 00:39:03,674
Is that all Haskell had?
558
00:39:03,758 --> 00:39:05,509
- Isn't it enough?
- No, I thought he had more.
559
00:39:05,593 --> 00:39:07,845
Not that I know of. You can search me
if you think I'm holding out on you.
560
00:39:07,929 --> 00:39:09,596
Well, maybe I will at that.
561
00:39:09,681 --> 00:39:11,807
He told me he was gonna bet $3,000
562
00:39:11,891 --> 00:39:14,560
on a horse named Paradisiacal
on Wednesday at Santa Anita.
563
00:39:14,644 --> 00:39:16,979
- He was stringing you along. He meant 300.
- Maybe.
564
00:39:17,063 --> 00:39:20,357
Sure. Three bucks, 300.
He was a piece of cheese, a big blowhard.
565
00:39:20,442 --> 00:39:23,277
Listen, mister. Don't try and tell me
anything about Charlie Haskell.
566
00:39:23,361 --> 00:39:25,279
Remember, I knew him better than you did.
567
00:39:25,363 --> 00:39:28,073
Okay, then you knew he was a four-flusher.
That explains the three-grand bet.
568
00:39:28,158 --> 00:39:30,576
I'm not so sure
he didn't have that three grand.
569
00:39:30,660 --> 00:39:34,121
Why should I believe you?
You got all the earmarks of a cheap crook.
570
00:39:34,205 --> 00:39:35,622
- Now, wait a minute.
- Shut up.
571
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:37,207
You're a cheap crook and you killed him.
572
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:39,418
For two cents,
I'd change my mind and turn you in.
573
00:39:39,502 --> 00:39:40,794
I don't like you!
574
00:39:40,879 --> 00:39:43,338
- All right, all right. Don't get sore.
- I'm not getting sore.
575
00:39:43,423 --> 00:39:45,507
But just remember who's boss around here.
576
00:39:45,592 --> 00:39:47,134
If you shut up
and don't give me any arguments,
577
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:48,677
you'll have nothing to worry about.
578
00:39:48,762 --> 00:39:50,512
But if you act wise, well, mister,
579
00:39:50,597 --> 00:39:53,182
you'll pop into jail so fast
it'll give you the bends.
580
00:39:53,266 --> 00:39:55,059
- I'm not arguing.
- Well, see that you don't.
581
00:39:55,143 --> 00:39:56,477
You know, as crooked as you look,
582
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:59,605
I'd hate to see a fella as young as you
wind up sniffing that perfume
583
00:39:59,689 --> 00:40:01,482
that Arizona hands out free to murderers.
584
00:40:01,566 --> 00:40:03,233
- I'm not a murderer.
- Of course you're not.
585
00:40:03,318 --> 00:40:04,693
Haskell knocked his own head off.
586
00:40:04,778 --> 00:40:06,278
He fell. That's how it happened,
just like I told you.
587
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:08,530
Sure, and then he made you a present
of his belongings.
588
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:10,324
- I explained why...
- Oh, skip it.
589
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:13,118
Doesn't make a difference one way
or another. I'm not a mourner.
590
00:40:13,203 --> 00:40:15,412
I liked Haskell even less than I like you.
591
00:40:15,955 --> 00:40:17,372
Yeah, I saw what you did to him.
592
00:40:17,457 --> 00:40:19,541
- What do you mean?
- Those scratches on his wrists.
593
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:20,959
Sure, I scratched him.
594
00:40:21,961 --> 00:40:23,128
I'll say you did.
595
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:26,673
So your idea was
to drive the car a little way,
596
00:40:26,758 --> 00:40:28,967
maybe into San Bernardino,
and then leave it.
597
00:40:29,052 --> 00:40:30,385
You weren't gonna sell it?
598
00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:33,597
Sell it? You think I'm crazy?
Somebody else's car?
599
00:40:33,681 --> 00:40:36,266
All I wanna do is leave it somewhere
and forget I ever saw it.
600
00:40:36,351 --> 00:40:39,269
Not only don't you have any scruples,
you don't have any brains.
601
00:40:39,354 --> 00:40:42,022
- I don't get you.
- Maybe it's a good thing you met me.
602
00:40:42,107 --> 00:40:44,983
You would of got yourself caught, sure.
Why, you dope.
603
00:40:45,068 --> 00:40:48,362
Don't you know a deserted automobile
always rates an investigation?
604
00:40:48,696 --> 00:40:49,863
Huh?
605
00:40:49,948 --> 00:40:52,783
Look. The cops find a car.
Then they get curious.
606
00:40:52,867 --> 00:40:54,493
They wonder where the owner is.
607
00:40:54,577 --> 00:40:57,996
So, all right, they don't trace Haskell.
They trace you.
608
00:40:58,206 --> 00:40:59,790
I never thought of that.
609
00:40:59,874 --> 00:41:02,626
The only safe way to get rid of the car
is to sell it to a dealer,
610
00:41:02,710 --> 00:41:04,253
get it registered under a new name.
611
00:41:04,754 --> 00:41:06,004
Say, stop at the next store.
612
00:41:06,089 --> 00:41:08,882
I wanna get a bottle and do some shopping
before we hit LA.
613
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:12,219
Okay. Soon as we find a place,
I'll drop you off and pick you up later.
614
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:14,429
Nothin' doin'. You're coming in too.
615
00:41:14,514 --> 00:41:17,349
From now on,
you and I are like the Siamese twins.
616
00:41:17,433 --> 00:41:19,434
Have it your way,
but I don't get the point.
617
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:21,687
The point is I don't want you to get lost.
618
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:23,397
I'm not gonna beat it,
if that's what you're afraid of.
619
00:41:23,481 --> 00:41:24,648
I'll say you're not.
620
00:41:24,732 --> 00:41:27,568
Well, I'm gonna see that you sell this car
so you don't get caught.
621
00:41:27,652 --> 00:41:31,446
Thanks. Of course, your interest
wouldn't be financial, would it?
622
00:41:31,531 --> 00:41:33,699
You wouldn't want
a small percentage of the profits?
623
00:41:34,284 --> 00:41:37,202
Well, now that you insist,
how can I refuse?
624
00:41:37,287 --> 00:41:38,912
A hundred percent'll do.
625
00:41:38,997 --> 00:41:40,873
Fine. I'm relieved.
626
00:41:40,957 --> 00:41:43,208
I thought for a moment
you were gonna take it all.
627
00:41:43,293 --> 00:41:44,710
I don't want to be a hog.
628
00:41:46,588 --> 00:41:48,672
[Al narrating] A few hours later,
we were in Hollywood.
629
00:41:49,090 --> 00:41:51,466
I was recognizing places
Sue had written about.
630
00:41:52,051 --> 00:41:55,012
It struck me that,
far from being at the end of the trip,
631
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:58,098
there was a greater distance between Sue
and me than when I started out.
632
00:41:59,434 --> 00:42:02,060
Vera wasn't kidding
with that Siamese twins crack.
633
00:42:02,687 --> 00:42:06,106
She rented a little apartment
as Mrs. Charles Haskell.
634
00:42:07,025 --> 00:42:10,110
When I objected to this, she explained
that it was on account of the car.
635
00:42:10,612 --> 00:42:12,154
A dealer might think something was funny
636
00:42:12,238 --> 00:42:14,531
if he called and found
we were using different names.
637
00:42:19,704 --> 00:42:21,538
- Home, sweet home.
- Yeah.
638
00:42:22,457 --> 00:42:23,498
Not bad, either.
639
00:42:31,466 --> 00:42:33,842
In case there's any doubt in your mind,
I'll take the bedroom.
640
00:42:34,302 --> 00:42:35,177
Yeah.
641
00:42:36,471 --> 00:42:37,846
Sure is stuffy in here.
642
00:42:45,980 --> 00:42:47,689
- Keep the window shut.
- Okay.
643
00:42:50,026 --> 00:42:53,487
The old crow downstairs said
there's a folding bed behind this door.
644
00:42:59,535 --> 00:43:00,702
You know how to work it?
645
00:43:04,457 --> 00:43:05,540
I invented it.
646
00:43:09,504 --> 00:43:11,630
- Some joint.
- One can't have everything.
647
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,387
I'm first in the bathtub.
648
00:43:19,180 --> 00:43:22,140
I don't know why,
but I figured you would be.
649
00:43:31,985 --> 00:43:35,570
Boy, oh, boy. [sighs]
It sure feels good to be clean again.
650
00:43:36,948 --> 00:43:38,407
I must be ten pounds lighter.
651
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:40,450
You must be.
652
00:43:40,535 --> 00:43:42,077
[saxophone playing]
653
00:43:42,161 --> 00:43:45,372
Well, hitchin' rides isn't exactly the way
you keep your schoolgirl complexion.
654
00:43:49,585 --> 00:43:51,712
I wish that guy with the sax
would give up.
655
00:43:53,089 --> 00:43:54,423
It gets on my nerves.
656
00:43:56,509 --> 00:43:57,509
Forget it.
657
00:44:00,138 --> 00:44:01,179
Have a drink.
658
00:44:02,390 --> 00:44:04,141
Aren't you afraid
I'm gonna take you up on it?
659
00:44:06,269 --> 00:44:08,562
If I didn't wanna give you a drink,
I wouldn't have offered it.
660
00:44:09,731 --> 00:44:12,983
Why be a sorehead, Roberts?
You got yourself into this thing.
661
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:15,902
You should be grateful
I'm not turning you in.
662
00:44:16,904 --> 00:44:19,114
Why, if I wasn't regular,
you'd be in the pen this minute
663
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:22,284
being photographed, fingerprinted,
and being pushed around by the cops.
664
00:44:23,077 --> 00:44:25,620
So cheer up. Get rid of that long puss.
665
00:44:27,874 --> 00:44:29,666
Or is your conscience bothering you?
666
00:44:34,672 --> 00:44:35,505
No.
667
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:37,382
It isn't.
668
00:44:37,467 --> 00:44:39,468
Swell. That's the spirit.
669
00:44:41,012 --> 00:44:43,180
He's dead,
and no moaning around will bring him back.
670
00:44:46,684 --> 00:44:50,312
Anyway, I never could understand this worrying
about something that's over and done with.
671
00:44:50,396 --> 00:44:52,439
Now look, Vera.
For the last time, I didn't kill him.
672
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:53,982
Haskell was a sick man.
673
00:44:54,067 --> 00:44:56,109
Maybe he was dead before he fell
out of the car. I don't know.
674
00:44:56,194 --> 00:44:58,403
Sure, sure. He died of old age.
675
00:44:59,364 --> 00:45:00,364
All right.
676
00:45:01,324 --> 00:45:02,824
So if it'll make you sociable...
677
00:45:04,577 --> 00:45:05,827
you didn't kill him.
678
00:45:16,464 --> 00:45:17,297
Thanks.
679
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:31,186
- We're outta liquor, Roberts.
- Yeah.
680
00:45:32,313 --> 00:45:35,440
Too bad.
I felt like getting tight tonight.
681
00:45:35,525 --> 00:45:37,567
Well, I think you succeeded.
682
00:45:37,652 --> 00:45:40,737
- Am I tight?
- As a prima donna's corset.
683
00:45:40,822 --> 00:45:42,197
- That's good.
- [glass clatters]
684
00:45:42,281 --> 00:45:44,074
I wanted to get tight.
685
00:45:44,158 --> 00:45:46,785
Why? What have you got to get tight about?
686
00:45:46,869 --> 00:45:49,246
Oh, I don't know. A few things.
687
00:45:50,123 --> 00:45:50,956
[Al] Huh.
688
00:45:52,583 --> 00:45:54,042
You should have my worries.
689
00:45:54,127 --> 00:45:56,670
If I had your troubles, I'd stay sober.
690
00:45:56,754 --> 00:45:58,380
And I've got the key to that door.
691
00:46:01,926 --> 00:46:04,678
Yeah. Maybe you're right.
692
00:46:04,762 --> 00:46:06,388
I'm always right.
693
00:46:07,723 --> 00:46:10,183
You know, I don't like your attitude,
Roberts.
694
00:46:10,268 --> 00:46:12,018
Well, there's a lot of things I don't like.
695
00:46:13,479 --> 00:46:14,813
Say...
696
00:46:17,191 --> 00:46:19,276
But life's like a ball game.
697
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,111
You got to take a swing
at whatever comes along
698
00:46:21,195 --> 00:46:23,613
before you wake up
and find it's the ninth inning.
699
00:46:24,532 --> 00:46:25,782
Bet you read that somewhere.
700
00:46:25,867 --> 00:46:29,703
That's the trouble with you, Roberts.
All you do is bellyache.
701
00:46:30,788 --> 00:46:35,500
You could have taken it easy and,
well, try and make the best of things.
702
00:46:35,585 --> 00:46:38,378
But maybe that's what's wrong
with the whole world.
703
00:46:38,463 --> 00:46:40,297
Get the professor.
704
00:46:40,381 --> 00:46:43,133
People knock themselves out
trying to buck fate.
705
00:46:43,217 --> 00:46:46,386
Now take you, for instance.
You're lucky to be alive.
706
00:46:46,471 --> 00:46:49,055
Why, suppose Haskell had pulled open
your door?
707
00:46:49,140 --> 00:46:51,850
You'd be playing a harp now.
Think of that.
708
00:46:53,603 --> 00:46:56,855
You think of it. I'm tired of thinking.
709
00:46:56,939 --> 00:46:59,816
There's plenty of people dying this minute
710
00:46:59,901 --> 00:47:02,402
that would give anything
to trade places with you.
711
00:47:04,363 --> 00:47:05,989
I know what I'm talking about.
712
00:47:07,033 --> 00:47:10,744
I'm not so sure.
At least they know they're done for.
713
00:47:10,828 --> 00:47:13,580
They don't just sweat blood
wondering if they are.
714
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:16,750
Your philosophy stinks, pal.
715
00:47:18,002 --> 00:47:21,796
We all know we're gonna kick off someday.
It's only a question of when.
716
00:47:23,591 --> 00:47:26,551
But what got us on this subject anyway?
717
00:47:26,636 --> 00:47:28,553
We'll be discussing politics next.
718
00:47:29,388 --> 00:47:30,472
Yeah.
719
00:47:32,058 --> 00:47:33,433
Where'd you hide the butts?
720
00:47:34,310 --> 00:47:35,936
On the table, sucker.
721
00:47:43,611 --> 00:47:47,113
[Al narrating] We bored each other with
conversation for a couple of hours longer.
722
00:47:47,198 --> 00:47:50,408
Every five minutes, one of us was wishing
we had another bottle or a radio
723
00:47:50,493 --> 00:47:52,118
or something to read.
724
00:47:53,538 --> 00:47:55,247
Then finally we ran out of chat.
725
00:47:56,207 --> 00:47:57,499
I know it's only eleven o'clock,
726
00:47:57,583 --> 00:48:00,085
but I want to get up early
and make the rounds to the used car lots.
727
00:48:00,169 --> 00:48:03,088
No hurry about that.
We got all the time in the world.
728
00:48:03,172 --> 00:48:05,257
Maybe you have, but if you think
I want to stay cooped up in this place
729
00:48:05,341 --> 00:48:06,925
any longer than I have to, you're batty.
730
00:48:07,009 --> 00:48:10,262
It's not a bad place. Pay plenty
for diggings like this in New York.
731
00:48:10,346 --> 00:48:12,347
I wouldn't like it if it was the Ritz.
732
00:48:12,431 --> 00:48:14,849
[coughs]
733
00:48:16,602 --> 00:48:18,144
Rotten liquor. [coughs]
734
00:48:18,229 --> 00:48:20,981
You got a mean cough.
Ought to do something about it.
735
00:48:21,065 --> 00:48:22,315
I'll be all right.
736
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,817
That's what Camille said.
737
00:48:24,527 --> 00:48:25,652
Who?
738
00:48:25,736 --> 00:48:27,195
Nobody you know.
739
00:48:30,908 --> 00:48:33,368
- Wasn't that the dame that died of consumption?
- Yeah.
740
00:48:34,704 --> 00:48:37,289
Wouldn't it be a break for you
if I did kick off.
741
00:48:37,373 --> 00:48:40,333
You'd be free
with all Haskell's dough and car.
742
00:48:40,418 --> 00:48:42,043
I don't want to see anybody die.
743
00:48:43,212 --> 00:48:44,921
Not even me?
744
00:48:45,006 --> 00:48:48,008
Especially not you. One person died on me.
745
00:48:48,092 --> 00:48:50,510
If you did, well, that's all I need.
746
00:48:52,388 --> 00:48:54,222
You don't like me, do you, Roberts?
747
00:48:55,933 --> 00:48:56,975
Like you?
748
00:48:58,352 --> 00:48:59,769
I love you.
749
00:49:01,022 --> 00:49:02,981
My favorite sport is being kept prisoner.
750
00:49:04,025 --> 00:49:07,485
After we sell the car, you can go to blazes
for all I care, but not until then.
751
00:49:14,910 --> 00:49:16,536
I'm going to bed.
752
00:49:24,962 --> 00:49:26,463
Good night, Roberts.
753
00:49:26,547 --> 00:49:29,549
Don't try and sneak away during the night.
All the doors are locked.
754
00:49:29,634 --> 00:49:33,136
Anyway, if I find you gone in the morning,
I'll notify the police.
755
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:35,889
- They'll pick you up.
- Don't worry. I know when I'm in a spot.
756
00:49:36,974 --> 00:49:40,935
Well, good night. I hope that portable
rack isn't too uncomfortable for you.
757
00:49:41,020 --> 00:49:43,146
Don't lose any sleep over it,
will you, Vera?
758
00:49:44,940 --> 00:49:47,025
[key scratching lock]
759
00:50:20,601 --> 00:50:21,935
[softly] CRestview...
760
00:50:23,813 --> 00:50:29,651
6... 5... 7,
761
00:50:29,735 --> 00:50:32,654
[whispers] 2... 3.
762
00:50:33,948 --> 00:50:35,073
Hello?
763
00:50:36,117 --> 00:50:37,117
Hello!
764
00:50:38,327 --> 00:50:39,411
Hello?
765
00:50:40,579 --> 00:50:41,746
Hello?
766
00:50:48,295 --> 00:50:51,881
No. Not yet, darling.
767
00:50:53,134 --> 00:50:54,509
Tomorrow.
768
00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:56,928
Maybe.
769
00:51:00,391 --> 00:51:01,891
[Al narrating] if this were fiction,
770
00:51:01,976 --> 00:51:05,562
I would fall in love with her, marry her,
and make a respectable woman of her,
771
00:51:05,646 --> 00:51:09,816
or else she'd make some supreme,
class-A sacrifice for me and die.
772
00:51:11,152 --> 00:51:13,361
Sue and I would ball a little
over her grave
773
00:51:13,446 --> 00:51:16,448
and make some crack about
"there's good in all of us."
774
00:51:16,532 --> 00:51:20,160
But Vera, unfortunately,
was just as rotten in the morning
775
00:51:20,244 --> 00:51:21,870
as she'd been the night before.
776
00:51:21,954 --> 00:51:23,455
[knocking]
777
00:51:23,539 --> 00:51:25,415
All right, all right, I'm coming.
778
00:51:25,499 --> 00:51:27,459
[Al] Look, Vera, it's almost noon.
779
00:51:29,003 --> 00:51:31,254
So what?
The dealers will be there all day.
780
00:51:31,338 --> 00:51:34,007
They'll be there all year too, but it
doesn't mean I'm gonna wait that long.
781
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:36,551
Shut up.
You're making noises like a husband.
782
00:51:39,180 --> 00:51:42,932
- Well, do I rate a whistle?
- You sure do, but let's go.
783
00:51:43,017 --> 00:51:46,519
Let's go, let's go. I spend 85 bucks
and two hours preparing bait,
784
00:51:46,604 --> 00:51:48,188
and all you can say is "Let's go."
785
00:51:48,272 --> 00:51:51,274
[sighs] Come on.
786
00:51:56,071 --> 00:51:58,698
We passed a few used car lots
last night down this way.
787
00:51:58,783 --> 00:52:00,784
What do you think
we can get for this heap?
788
00:52:00,868 --> 00:52:04,496
I don't know. Plenty.
You just let me handle everything.
789
00:52:04,580 --> 00:52:06,206
You think we can get $2,000?
790
00:52:06,290 --> 00:52:07,707
I don't know. But don't worry.
791
00:52:07,792 --> 00:52:10,126
I'll squeeze as much
out of this guy as I can.
792
00:52:10,211 --> 00:52:13,296
If I let it go cheap without a fight,
he might think we've stolen the car.
793
00:52:13,380 --> 00:52:17,675
And listen, don't make any slips
and call me Roberts. That'll cook us.
794
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,636
I don't need you to tell me that.
795
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:21,930
You better just sit by
and keep your mouth closed.
796
00:52:22,014 --> 00:52:24,015
Remember, we're both in the soup
if anything happens.
797
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:25,642
Forget it and drive.
798
00:52:25,726 --> 00:52:28,144
You're my wife... Vera Haskell.
799
00:52:28,229 --> 00:52:32,315
Look, after the deal's closed, let's go
back to that place on Hollywood Boulevard
800
00:52:32,399 --> 00:52:33,942
where I saw the fur jacket.
801
00:52:34,026 --> 00:52:35,235
I want to buy it.
802
00:52:35,319 --> 00:52:37,987
After the deal's closed,
I'm saying good-bye to you.
803
00:52:38,072 --> 00:52:41,491
That's right. I forgot.
I guess I'm getting kind of used to you.
804
00:52:42,743 --> 00:52:45,036
Well, that's a habit
you can start breaking.
805
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,455
Let's try this place
in the middle of the block.
806
00:52:53,671 --> 00:52:55,129
Good afternoon. What can I do for you?
807
00:52:55,214 --> 00:52:58,508
- We're interested in selling a car.
- If the price is right.
808
00:53:01,387 --> 00:53:05,473
Well, if it's in good mechanical condition,
it should blue book for about 1,600.
809
00:53:06,475 --> 00:53:07,892
Tony, take a look at this motor.
810
00:53:07,977 --> 00:53:10,228
1,600. Are you kidding?
811
00:53:14,108 --> 00:53:15,900
[car hood opening]
812
00:53:21,448 --> 00:53:23,283
Well, maybe 1,850.
813
00:53:23,367 --> 00:53:26,744
Before I let it go for 1,850, I'll wreck it
and collect the insurance first.
814
00:53:26,829 --> 00:53:27,912
[coughs]
815
00:53:31,375 --> 00:53:33,376
Lady, this motor's seen a lot of driving.
816
00:53:39,925 --> 00:53:43,219
[Al narrating] While the mechanic
inspected the car, we haggled.
817
00:53:43,721 --> 00:53:46,973
At last, when we were all worn out,
we hit a compromise...
818
00:53:47,057 --> 00:53:48,600
his price.
819
00:53:51,896 --> 00:53:53,104
Okay, it's a deal.
820
00:53:53,188 --> 00:53:56,524
- Come in, we'll sign the papers.
- I have the ownership papers here with me.
821
00:53:56,609 --> 00:53:59,319
Look, Vera, in the meantime,
will you clean out the dash compartment?
822
00:53:59,403 --> 00:54:02,196
- There may be some stuff in it.
- All right, darling.
823
00:54:04,325 --> 00:54:06,534
1,850 bucks.
824
00:54:06,619 --> 00:54:08,244
That dirty cr...
825
00:54:15,544 --> 00:54:17,420
- Mm, New York, huh?
- Yeah.
826
00:54:17,504 --> 00:54:20,757
- But you bought the car in Miami?
- Yeah.
827
00:54:20,841 --> 00:54:22,467
Well, now, let's see about the insurance.
828
00:54:22,551 --> 00:54:24,552
We can either have it transferred
or canceled.
829
00:54:24,637 --> 00:54:27,263
Uh, what kind of insurance do you have,
Mr. Haskell?
830
00:54:28,432 --> 00:54:31,559
Well, uh, aren't all the papers there?
831
00:54:33,729 --> 00:54:37,857
I don't see any. Surely you know what type
of insurance you carry on the car.
832
00:54:37,942 --> 00:54:39,442
The name of the company?
833
00:54:40,277 --> 00:54:41,486
Yeah, but, uh...
834
00:54:41,570 --> 00:54:43,321
Well, if you'll just tell me
the name of the company,
835
00:54:43,405 --> 00:54:45,114
I'd be very glad to take care
of all the details.
836
00:54:45,199 --> 00:54:46,324
Well...
837
00:54:46,408 --> 00:54:48,409
- Did you sign the papers yet?
- Not yet.
838
00:54:48,494 --> 00:54:50,536
Well, don't. We're not selling the car.
839
00:54:50,621 --> 00:54:52,538
- Well, wait a minute, Mrs. Haskell...
- Come on, darling.
840
00:54:52,623 --> 00:54:55,917
- What's the matter? Change your mind?
- Yes. I'm sorry. I guess I have.
841
00:54:56,001 --> 00:54:57,377
- But, Vera...
- Let's go.
842
00:55:03,384 --> 00:55:06,636
You got me out of a tight spot, Vera,
but I still don't understand all this.
843
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:09,722
You will in a minute.
I almost threw away a gold mine.
844
00:55:09,807 --> 00:55:13,726
1,850 isn't to be sneezed at. The car
doesn't book for as much as I thought.
845
00:55:13,811 --> 00:55:15,478
We're not selling the car.
846
00:55:15,562 --> 00:55:17,438
You want to keep it?
Now wait a minute, Vera.
847
00:55:17,523 --> 00:55:20,608
You said yourself I wouldn't be safe
until the car was in someone else's name.
848
00:55:20,693 --> 00:55:22,360
I'd like to be free of this mess
when I go.
849
00:55:22,444 --> 00:55:24,612
That's just it, Roberts. You're not going.
850
00:55:25,531 --> 00:55:27,365
- [sighs]
- There's a drive-in at the next corner.
851
00:55:27,449 --> 00:55:30,201
Pull in there and we'll get a bite to eat
and I'll explain.
852
00:55:30,285 --> 00:55:32,453
What is this,
another one of your brilliant ideas?
853
00:55:38,794 --> 00:55:41,671
- Hello. May I take your order?
- Make mine a ham sandwich and coffee.
854
00:55:41,755 --> 00:55:44,340
- And for you, sir?
- Oh, I don't care. The same.
855
00:55:46,510 --> 00:55:47,719
Thank you.
856
00:55:52,224 --> 00:55:55,226
Get this, Vera,
I've been pretty patient so far.
857
00:55:55,310 --> 00:55:57,311
I've done everything you asked me to do,
but no more.
858
00:55:57,396 --> 00:55:59,564
- Shut up.
- You've taken Haskell's money.
859
00:55:59,648 --> 00:56:01,524
And you can have the dough we get
from selling the car,
860
00:56:01,608 --> 00:56:03,192
but you're not gonna keep me a prisoner.
861
00:56:03,277 --> 00:56:05,069
It's a good thing I bought the paper.
Look at that.
862
00:56:05,154 --> 00:56:07,030
- Vera, I'm in no mood...
- Read that.
863
00:56:17,708 --> 00:56:19,292
- No.
- Yes.
864
00:56:19,376 --> 00:56:20,960
- No, I won't do it.
- Yes, you will.
865
00:56:21,045 --> 00:56:23,254
You think I'm crazy.
It's impossible, I tell ya.
866
00:56:24,131 --> 00:56:25,173
Excuse me.
867
00:56:30,637 --> 00:56:32,138
Blow the horn when you're through.
868
00:56:35,350 --> 00:56:38,561
No one could possibly get away with an act
like that. Be wise to me in a minute.
869
00:56:38,645 --> 00:56:39,812
Don't be yellow.
870
00:56:39,897 --> 00:56:42,690
You look enough like him.
The same coloring and the same build.
871
00:56:42,775 --> 00:56:44,358
See how his clothes fit ya?
872
00:56:44,443 --> 00:56:46,235
No kidding. You almost
had me fooled for a while.
873
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:47,528
Oh, grow up, Vera.
874
00:56:47,613 --> 00:56:50,406
Don't you think a father knows his own
son? There must be other relatives.
875
00:56:50,491 --> 00:56:53,326
The father won't have to know ya.
We'll wait till he gives up the ghost.
876
00:56:53,410 --> 00:56:55,411
He's an old geezer
and he won't pull through.
877
00:56:55,496 --> 00:56:59,373
And as far as the relatives are concerned,
they haven't seen you in 15 or 20 years.
878
00:57:00,876 --> 00:57:02,585
- Eat.
- I'm not hungry.
879
00:57:03,253 --> 00:57:06,130
- And I won't do it.
- It's not as tough as it sounds.
880
00:57:06,215 --> 00:57:08,049
Remember, you've got
all kinds of identification...
881
00:57:08,133 --> 00:57:09,133
his car, letters, license...
882
00:57:09,218 --> 00:57:11,761
I could never get away with it.
It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
883
00:57:11,845 --> 00:57:13,888
The old boy has scads of dough.
884
00:57:13,972 --> 00:57:17,141
Look in the paper there. Personal fortune
assessed at over 15 million.
885
00:57:17,226 --> 00:57:18,684
He'll leave plenty, I tell ya.
886
00:57:18,769 --> 00:57:20,937
Maybe he cut off his son.
How do we know?
887
00:57:21,021 --> 00:57:23,606
It's out, Vera.
I won't have anything to do with it.
888
00:57:24,817 --> 00:57:27,068
I think you will.
889
00:57:27,152 --> 00:57:30,696
Look, Vera, I'll do anything
within reason, but not that.
890
00:57:30,781 --> 00:57:32,698
So forget it or find yourself another stooge.
891
00:57:32,783 --> 00:57:34,033
You sap!
892
00:57:34,785 --> 00:57:36,911
You'll be fixed for the rest of your life
as Charlie Haskell.
893
00:57:36,995 --> 00:57:40,081
You can take your inheritance and go away.
No more worrying about the rent.
894
00:57:40,165 --> 00:57:42,291
No sweating, scheming, wondering
where your next meal's coming from!
895
00:57:42,376 --> 00:57:43,417
Think about that, Roberts!
896
00:57:43,502 --> 00:57:46,295
Vera, please. You're talking too loud.
897
00:57:46,713 --> 00:57:49,298
On this I'm splitting 50-50 with you.
Sure, why not?
898
00:57:49,383 --> 00:57:51,050
We're both alike.
Both born in the same gutter.
899
00:57:51,135 --> 00:57:52,301
Now take it easy, Vera.
900
00:57:52,386 --> 00:57:54,637
There's people around here.
You don't know what you're talking...
901
00:57:55,806 --> 00:57:59,684
We'll wait till we read that old man
Haskell's dead. Then you show up.
902
00:57:59,768 --> 00:58:02,061
Like you read in New York
that he was sick.
903
00:58:02,146 --> 00:58:04,772
No! Suppose he doesn't die?
904
00:58:04,857 --> 00:58:06,941
He will. I know he will.
Something tells me.
905
00:58:09,611 --> 00:58:12,405
[Al narrating] But as much as I insisted
I would have no part of her scheme,
906
00:58:12,489 --> 00:58:14,448
Vera was taking it for granted I would.
907
00:58:16,535 --> 00:58:19,954
Neither of us had our mind on the cards
as we played that night.
908
00:58:20,038 --> 00:58:23,207
I knew we were just trying to kill time
between newspaper editions.
909
00:58:24,042 --> 00:58:26,002
This was a deathwatch for Vera.
910
00:58:27,129 --> 00:58:28,713
Maybe it was for me too.
911
00:58:28,797 --> 00:58:32,383
Don't you realize if I'm caught they'll want
to know where I got the car and stuff?
912
00:58:32,467 --> 00:58:35,595
- Then they'll have me on a murder charge.
- If you're smart, you won't get caught.
913
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:37,054
I knock with seven.
914
00:58:37,139 --> 00:58:39,348
And if I'm caught,
don't you realize you'll be out too?
915
00:58:39,808 --> 00:58:42,935
Eighteen points. That gives me 30.
916
00:58:44,188 --> 00:58:45,438
How will I be out?
917
00:58:45,522 --> 00:58:47,982
You'll be out $1,850 we would have gotten
on the car.
918
00:58:48,066 --> 00:58:49,483
Really, Vera, you'd be an awful chump
919
00:58:49,568 --> 00:58:51,569
if you threw away all that dough
on a dizzy long shot.
920
00:58:51,653 --> 00:58:52,904
Let me sell the bus tomorrow.
921
00:58:52,988 --> 00:58:54,655
With the money it'll bring
and what you've already got,
922
00:58:54,740 --> 00:58:56,449
a clever kid like you
can run it up in no time.
923
00:58:56,533 --> 00:58:59,035
- Then we'd both be in the clear.
- I'll be in the clear anyway.
924
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:00,912
Maybe. Maybe.
925
00:59:00,996 --> 00:59:02,580
But if I got caught...
926
00:59:03,540 --> 00:59:06,083
- I'd get good and sore at you, you know.
- You mean you'd squeal?
927
00:59:06,168 --> 00:59:08,377
- Well, no, not squeal exactly...
- Never mind what you meant!
928
00:59:11,048 --> 00:59:14,425
Even if you did tell the cops
I was in on it with you,
929
00:59:14,509 --> 00:59:15,885
what could they do to me?
930
00:59:16,929 --> 00:59:19,347
They might give me the same medicine
they gave you.
931
00:59:19,431 --> 00:59:21,140
- Yeah.
- A rope.
932
00:59:23,644 --> 00:59:25,770
But I'm on my way anyhow.
933
00:59:27,731 --> 00:59:29,732
All they'll be doing will be rushing it.
934
00:59:30,359 --> 00:59:32,818
All right. But think of the 1,850 you'd lose.
935
00:59:32,903 --> 00:59:35,655
You'd kick yourself along the block
if you let that get away from you.
936
00:59:35,739 --> 00:59:38,658
I'll take the chance. Want another drink?
937
00:59:38,742 --> 00:59:41,744
You're being a goon. That's the way
people wind up behind the eight ball.
938
00:59:41,828 --> 00:59:44,330
Once they get a few dollars,
they become greedy and want more.
939
00:59:44,414 --> 00:59:45,706
My, my.
940
00:59:45,791 --> 00:59:46,791
- Caesar.
- Who?
941
00:59:46,875 --> 00:59:49,585
You know, that Roman general?
He got his for being greedy.
942
00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:52,838
He wasn't satisfied.
So the final windup was he took the count.
943
00:59:52,923 --> 00:59:55,299
A couple of days ago you didn't have a dime.
944
00:59:55,384 --> 00:59:58,219
Why, you were so broke
you couldn't pay cash for a postage stamp.
945
00:59:58,303 --> 01:00:01,347
Now you've got almost $700,
with 1,850 in the offing.
946
01:00:01,431 --> 01:00:03,099
Take my advice. Don't try for more.
947
01:00:03,183 --> 01:00:05,768
I'm tired of this game.
Let's have some blackjack.
948
01:00:05,852 --> 01:00:06,686
Play solitaire.
949
01:00:06,770 --> 01:00:09,313
- I will, if that's the way you feel about it.
- That's the way I feel about it.
950
01:00:09,398 --> 01:00:11,607
Getting sore and throwing things
won't help much, Roberts.
951
01:00:11,692 --> 01:00:15,111
I'm merely doing you a favor. I help you out of
a jam by keepin' my mouth shut.
952
01:00:15,195 --> 01:00:18,072
I show you how to make some soft money,
and what thanks do I get?
953
01:00:18,156 --> 01:00:19,156
- Thanks?
- Sure.
954
01:00:19,241 --> 01:00:21,659
Or would you rather I called the cops and told
them you killed a man and stole his money?
955
01:00:21,743 --> 01:00:22,827
- I didn't kill anybody.
- Yes, you did.
956
01:00:22,911 --> 01:00:25,705
- No, I didn't. You know I didn't.
- All right, then.
957
01:00:28,542 --> 01:00:30,251
Suppose I call the cops?
958
01:00:30,335 --> 01:00:32,920
If you're innocent,
what do you got to be scared of?
959
01:00:33,005 --> 01:00:36,590
Okay, call 'em, you mutt. Go ahead and call 'em.
See if I care.
960
01:00:36,675 --> 01:00:39,552
- At least they'll give me a square deal.
- You want me to call 'em?
961
01:00:39,636 --> 01:00:43,597
You heard me. But I'm warning ya.
If I'm pinched, I'll swear you were in on it.
962
01:00:43,682 --> 01:00:46,976
I'll say that you helped me.
If I'm frying, I'll get even with you.
963
01:00:47,060 --> 01:00:48,686
You wouldn't dare. You're chicken!
964
01:00:48,770 --> 01:00:52,815
Yeah? Then try it and see.
Call 'em. Yeah.
965
01:00:53,650 --> 01:00:55,067
Okay, I will.
966
01:00:57,112 --> 01:01:00,489
[dialing]
967
01:01:07,706 --> 01:01:09,915
Information.
968
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,835
I want the number
of the Hollywood police station.
969
01:01:14,713 --> 01:01:16,756
Okay, I got it. Thanks.
970
01:01:17,966 --> 01:01:19,592
[phone hook clicks]
971
01:01:19,676 --> 01:01:21,677
- [dialing]
- Wait a minute, Vera. You wouldn't do that.
972
01:01:21,762 --> 01:01:23,721
Oh, wouldn't I? Give me that
and I'll show you if I would!
973
01:01:23,805 --> 01:01:25,681
Take it easy now. Let's talk this over.
974
01:01:25,766 --> 01:01:27,558
[Al narrating]
This was early in the evening.
975
01:01:27,642 --> 01:01:32,146
And the conversation, while hectic,
was at least pitched low.
976
01:01:32,230 --> 01:01:36,776
But as the minutes passed and more obstacles
to her plan popped into my head,
977
01:01:36,860 --> 01:01:38,486
the air got blue.
978
01:01:38,570 --> 01:01:41,822
Each word coming from our lips
cracked like a whip.
979
01:01:41,907 --> 01:01:45,785
I reminded her that as Charles Haskell
I didn't even know my mother's name,
980
01:01:45,869 --> 01:01:47,578
where I'd gone to school,
981
01:01:47,662 --> 01:01:49,413
the name of my best friend,
982
01:01:49,498 --> 01:01:51,415
whether I had an Aunt Emma or not,
983
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:54,794
my religion, and if I'd ever owned a dog.
984
01:01:54,878 --> 01:01:57,463
I didn't even know
what my middle initial stood for.
985
01:01:57,547 --> 01:02:00,925
I also pointed out that the real Haskell
had a scar on his forearm.
986
01:02:01,510 --> 01:02:03,302
His people never saw that scar.
987
01:02:03,387 --> 01:02:05,596
He told me he ran away
right after putting out the kid's eye.
988
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,140
Yeah, but his father knew he was cut.
There'd have to be some kind of mark.
989
01:02:08,225 --> 01:02:10,434
So what?
990
01:02:10,519 --> 01:02:14,438
The old man's dead or will be.
I hope by tomorrow morning's papers.
991
01:02:14,523 --> 01:02:18,025
Anyway, you could cut yourself
a little, couldn't ya?
992
01:02:19,027 --> 01:02:22,321
Boy, for that kind of dough,
I'd let you cut my leg off.
993
01:02:22,406 --> 01:02:23,989
You're drunk and you're crazy mad, Vera.
994
01:02:24,074 --> 01:02:26,033
Turn me in if you want to,
but I won't get mixed up in this.
995
01:02:26,118 --> 01:02:28,160
Besides, how do we know?
Haskell was such a phony.
996
01:02:28,245 --> 01:02:30,371
Maybe he wasn't the man's son at all.
Maybe he just dreamed it up.
997
01:02:30,455 --> 01:02:35,918
Well, dreaming or not, you won't be dreaming
when the law taps you on the shoulder.
998
01:02:36,002 --> 01:02:39,588
There's a cute little gas chamber
waiting for you, Roberts.
999
01:02:39,673 --> 01:02:43,134
And I hear extradition to Arizona's a cinch.
1000
01:02:43,218 --> 01:02:45,052
Where's that phone?
1001
01:02:45,137 --> 01:02:46,512
- Vera.
- Leave me alone!
1002
01:02:46,596 --> 01:02:50,057
- Vera!
- I wanna phone, call the police.
1003
01:02:50,767 --> 01:02:54,812
I hate you, you stinker.
You leave me alone!
1004
01:02:54,896 --> 01:02:57,106
I'll let you alone when you promise to leave
the phone where it is.
1005
01:02:57,190 --> 01:02:59,150
- You're drunk. You don't know what you're doing.
- You're hurting me.
1006
01:02:59,234 --> 01:03:00,860
Will you promise?
1007
01:03:00,944 --> 01:03:02,528
All right.
1008
01:03:07,492 --> 01:03:10,327
- You hurt me.
- I'm sorry, but...
1009
01:03:10,412 --> 01:03:13,372
- And it's hot in here! Open up a window!
- It's not hot!
1010
01:03:13,457 --> 01:03:16,125
Don't tell me!
Now do you do it or do I do it?
1011
01:03:18,086 --> 01:03:19,837
You're no gentleman, see?
1012
01:03:19,921 --> 01:03:23,299
Yeah. All right, I'll open up the window.
1013
01:03:26,428 --> 01:03:27,511
Vera!
1014
01:03:31,892 --> 01:03:34,643
Vera, open the door.
Please open the door.
1015
01:03:34,728 --> 01:03:36,854
Vera, open the door.
Don't use the phone. Listen to me.
1016
01:03:37,522 --> 01:03:40,983
I don't like you, Roberts.
You're no gentleman, see?
1017
01:03:41,067 --> 01:03:45,154
You hurt my hand,
and I'm gonna get even with you.
1018
01:03:45,238 --> 01:03:48,407
If you don't open the door,
I'm gonna kick it down, Vera.
1019
01:03:48,492 --> 01:03:51,368
Vera, don't call the cops.
Listen to me, I'll do anything you say.
1020
01:03:52,287 --> 01:03:53,746
Vera, let me in!
1021
01:03:55,207 --> 01:03:56,665
I'll break the phone!
1022
01:04:14,267 --> 01:04:17,269
[grunting]
1023
01:04:22,609 --> 01:04:23,943
Vera.
1024
01:04:34,579 --> 01:04:36,539
[Al narrating] The world is full of skeptics.
1025
01:04:37,290 --> 01:04:39,667
I know. I'm one myself.
1026
01:04:40,669 --> 01:04:43,712
In the Haskell business, how many of you
would believe he fell out of the car?
1027
01:04:43,797 --> 01:04:46,173
And now, after killing Vera
without really meaning to do it,
1028
01:04:46,258 --> 01:04:48,676
how many of you would believe
it wasn't premeditated?
1029
01:04:49,719 --> 01:04:53,264
In a jury room, every last man of you
would go down shouting
1030
01:04:53,348 --> 01:04:56,058
that she had me over a barrel
and my only out was force.
1031
01:04:58,103 --> 01:04:59,728
The room was still.
1032
01:05:00,730 --> 01:05:03,691
So quiet that for a while I'd wondered
if I'd suddenly gone deaf.
1033
01:05:04,484 --> 01:05:06,235
It was pure fear, of course.
1034
01:05:06,319 --> 01:05:08,195
And I was hysterical,
1035
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:09,989
but without making a sound.
1036
01:05:11,324 --> 01:05:14,285
Vera was dead, and I was her murderer.
1037
01:05:15,370 --> 01:05:19,873
Murderer. What an awful word that is.
But I'd become one.
1038
01:05:19,958 --> 01:05:22,042
I'd better not get caught.
1039
01:05:22,127 --> 01:05:24,628
What evidence there was around the place
had to be destroyed.
1040
01:05:24,713 --> 01:05:26,505
And from the looks of things, there was plenty.
1041
01:05:26,590 --> 01:05:28,299
Looking around the room at things we'd bought
1042
01:05:28,383 --> 01:05:30,801
was like looking into the faces of
a hundred people who'd seen us together
1043
01:05:30,885 --> 01:05:32,803
and who remembered me.
1044
01:05:32,887 --> 01:05:35,306
This was the kind of testimony
I couldn't rub out.
1045
01:05:36,808 --> 01:05:38,058
No.
1046
01:05:38,143 --> 01:05:41,312
I could burn clothes and hide bottles
for the next five years.
1047
01:05:41,396 --> 01:05:42,855
There'd always be witnesses.
1048
01:05:42,939 --> 01:05:44,732
The landlady for one.
She could identify me.
1049
01:05:44,816 --> 01:05:46,233
The car dealer, the waitress in the drive-in,
1050
01:05:46,318 --> 01:05:48,819
the girl in the dress shop,
and that guy in the liquor store.
1051
01:05:48,903 --> 01:05:50,696
They could all identify me.
1052
01:05:52,032 --> 01:05:55,868
I was cooked. Done for.
I had to get out of there.
1053
01:05:57,203 --> 01:05:59,330
While once I remained beside a dead body
1054
01:05:59,414 --> 01:06:02,416
planning carefully how to avoid
being accused of killing him,
1055
01:06:02,500 --> 01:06:04,752
this time I couldn't.
1056
01:06:04,836 --> 01:06:06,503
This time I was guilty.
1057
01:06:07,422 --> 01:06:09,923
I knew it. Felt it.
1058
01:06:10,967 --> 01:06:13,218
I was like a guy suffering from shock.
1059
01:06:13,303 --> 01:06:14,970
Things were whirling around in my head.
1060
01:06:15,055 --> 01:06:17,890
I couldn't make myself think right.
1061
01:06:17,974 --> 01:06:21,435
All I could think of was the guy with
the saxophone and what he was playing.
1062
01:06:22,437 --> 01:06:24,021
It wasn't a love song anymore.
1063
01:06:24,814 --> 01:06:26,565
It was a dirge.
1064
01:07:12,028 --> 01:07:14,113
[jukebox: up-tempo band music]
1065
01:07:14,197 --> 01:07:16,615
[Al narrating]
But my problems weren't solved.
1066
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:19,493
I had to stay away from New York
for all time.
1067
01:07:20,328 --> 01:07:23,622
Because Al Roberts was listed as dead
and had to stay dead.
1068
01:07:24,332 --> 01:07:25,999
And I could never go back to Hollywood.
1069
01:07:26,835 --> 01:07:28,794
Someone might recognize me as Haskell.
1070
01:07:30,130 --> 01:07:33,048
- Then, too, there was Sue.
- [music stops]
1071
01:07:34,467 --> 01:07:37,803
I could never go to her with a thing
like this hanging over my head.
1072
01:07:39,180 --> 01:07:42,474
All I could do was pray she'd be happy.
1073
01:07:53,486 --> 01:07:57,656
I was in Bakersfield before I read
that Vera's body was discovered.
1074
01:07:57,741 --> 01:08:01,368
And that the police were looking for Haskell
in connection with his wife's murder.
1075
01:08:02,871 --> 01:08:04,413
Isn't that a laugh?
1076
01:08:05,081 --> 01:08:09,001
Haskell got me into this mess
and Haskell was getting me out of it.
1077
01:08:09,085 --> 01:08:11,170
The police were searching for a dead man.
1078
01:08:14,674 --> 01:08:16,884
I keep trying to forget what happened...
1079
01:08:18,261 --> 01:08:22,973
and wonder what my life might have been
if that car of Haskell's hadn't stopped.
1080
01:08:24,768 --> 01:08:26,935
But one thing I don't have to wonder about.
1081
01:08:28,146 --> 01:08:29,605
I know.
1082
01:08:31,107 --> 01:08:34,234
Someday a car will stop to pick me up
that I never thumbed.
1083
01:08:38,990 --> 01:08:39,865
Yes.
1084
01:08:40,742 --> 01:08:44,411
Fate... or some mysterious force
1085
01:08:44,496 --> 01:08:47,414
can put the finger on you or me
1086
01:08:47,499 --> 01:08:49,500
for no good reason at all.

Al Roberts, an unemployed piano player, hitches a ride, arriving at a roadside diner in Reno, Nevada. Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.
Al recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.
In Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.
Al realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.
Al crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.
In Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.
Back at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.
Al gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of "his wife." Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest.

- No.

Hey, you.
6
00:03:00,556 --> 00:03:03,266
- Me?
- Yeah, you. Where ya heading?
7
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,686
- East.
- Too bad.
8
00:03:07,563 --> 00:03:10,439
I thought if you was headin' north,
I might be able to help you out.

Pushing to Salt Lake,
and I don't like to ride alone at night.

I'm one of those guys that gotta talk
or I fall asleep.
11
00:03:16,113 --> 00:03:17,738
- Oh.
- So I gotta get my...
12
00:03:17,823 --> 00:03:20,157
My partner,
he's got Lou to keep him company.
13
00:03:20,242 --> 00:03:21,909
But I ain't got nobody at all.
14
00:03:21,994 --> 00:03:24,620
- Where ya comin' from?
- West.
15
00:03:24,705 --> 00:03:27,331
Yeah, sure, I know,
but where? LA?
16
00:03:27,416 --> 00:03:29,792
- Maybe.
- Got a cousin out in LA.
17

- You don't say?
- Yeah, he's been out...

a piece of your memory or blot it out?

but sooner or later
you'll get a whiff of perfume,

or maybe hum something.

73
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,300
You know the kind.

and a few drinks,
75
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:11,055
and run interference for your girl
on the dance floor.
76
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:15,101
- [playing romantic melody]
- I fronted the piano in there every night
77
00:07:15,185 --> 00:07:17,311
from 8:00 until the place closed up,
78
00:07:17,395 --> 00:07:19,563
which usually meant 4:00 in the morning.
79
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:22,066
A good job as jobs went in those days.
80
00:07:25,487 --> 00:07:28,739
Then, too, there was Sue,
81
00:07:28,824 --> 00:07:31,784
who made working there
a little like working in heaven.
82
00:07:32,244 --> 00:07:36,372
But how we felt about each other, well,
there was nothing very unusual in that.
83
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:39,834
I was an ordinary healthy guy,
and she was an ordinary healthy girl,
84
00:07:39,918 --> 00:07:43,170
and when you add those two together,
you get an ordinary healthy romance,
85
00:07:43,255 --> 00:07:44,672
which is the old story.
86
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:49,426
Sure. But somehow
the most wonderful thing in the world.

[continues playing, rapidly]
88
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:59,436
All in all, I was a pretty lucky guy.

Mr. Patterewsky, I presume?
It's beautiful.

You're going to make Carnegie Hall yet, Al.
91
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:20,332
Yeah. As a janitor.
92
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:22,251
I'll make my debut in the basement.
93
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:26,005
I don't blame you for being bitter,
darling, but you mustn't give up hope.
94
00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:27,798
- Why, some day...
- Yeah, some day,
95
00:08:27,883 --> 00:08:29,633
if I don't get arthritis first.
96
00:08:29,718 --> 00:08:31,385
In the meantime, let's blow this trap.

[door closes]
99
00:08:51,323 --> 00:08:53,782
- Like to get something to eat, hon?
- Oh, I don't think so, Al.
100
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:56,911
I lose my appetite working in this fleabag.
101
00:08:56,995 --> 00:08:58,954
- Let's go home.
- Okay.
102
00:08:59,831 --> 00:09:02,416
I can't stand much more of that dump.
103
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:05,211
Did you see that drunk tonight
trying to paw me?
104
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:08,547
- No, what drunk?
- Does it matter what drunk?
105
00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:11,800
Say, what's the matter with you tonight, darling?
106
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:14,511
That's the third time you started
to tell me something and then stopped.
107
00:09:15,305 --> 00:09:17,806
We shouldn't have any secrets
from each other, Sue.
108
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:20,267
Next week, we're gonna make with a ring
and a license. We'll be a team.
109
00:09:20,352 --> 00:09:23,395
Yes, that's right. In the bush league.

00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,190
- I don't get ya.
- We've been struck out.
111
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:29,276
That's a funny way to talk, darling.
112
00:09:29,361 --> 00:09:31,737
- Don't you wanna marry me?
- Al, look, I love you.
113
00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:34,198
You know I do.
And I want to marry you.
114
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:36,742
- But...?
- But not now.
115
00:09:36,826 --> 00:09:39,286
Only after we've made good.
116
00:09:39,371 --> 00:09:40,996
Sunday I'm going away.
117
00:09:41,706 --> 00:09:43,666
Oh, I know you'll think it's silly.
118
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:46,001
That's why I hesitated to tell you.
119
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:47,795
But I'm going to California.
120
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:50,297
I wanna try my luck in Hollywood.
121
00:09:50,548 --> 00:09:52,758
[Al] That's the most
stupid thing I ever heard of.
122
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:56,387
Don't you know millions of people go out there
every year and wind up polishing cuspidors?
123
00:09:56,471 --> 00:09:57,638
I thought you had better sense.
124
00:09:57,722 --> 00:09:59,598
You sound as if you think
I don't have any talent.
125
00:09:59,683 --> 00:10:02,101
- That has nothing to do with it.
- I'll make out all right.
126
00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:03,936
Maybe. But what about me?
127
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:06,563
Doesn't it mean anything to you
that you're busting up all our plans?
128
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:09,817
- We may not see each other for years?
- It won't be that long.
129
00:10:09,901 --> 00:10:12,111
- I thought you loved me.
- I do.
130
00:10:12,195 --> 00:10:13,737
You know I do.
131
00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:18,325
Well, here we are.
132
00:10:20,787 --> 00:10:21,787
Al...
133
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:25,541
Al, why can't you see my side of it?
134
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:28,294
I'm young. We both are. And...
135
00:10:28,378 --> 00:10:31,005
And we've got all the time in the world
to settle down.
136
00:10:31,715 --> 00:10:33,966
[sighs] Really, darling.
137
00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:37,303
What I'm doing is the only sane thing to do.
138
00:10:37,387 --> 00:10:40,889
[sighs] I... I hate the thought
of being so far away from you.
139
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:44,226
But... But we'll be together again some day.
140
00:10:44,311 --> 00:10:47,563
[sighs] Maybe you'll decide
to come out too, later on.
141
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:49,898
- So long.
- Al.
142
00:10:50,734 --> 00:10:53,068
Aren't you gonna kiss me good night?
143
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,237
Sure, why not?
144
00:10:57,741 --> 00:10:58,991
Good night.
145
00:11:05,248 --> 00:11:07,708
[playing romantic melody]
146
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:34,276
[playing jauntily, jazzy]
147
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:47,164
[changing rhythm, slower]
148
00:12:09,604 --> 00:12:12,231
[changing rhythm, jittery]
149
00:12:18,822 --> 00:12:21,824
[no audible dialogue]
150
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:40,717
[piano playing stops]
151
00:12:40,802 --> 00:12:42,469
- [applause]
- Say, Roberts.
152
00:12:42,554 --> 00:12:45,848
You hit the jackpot this time. Ten bucks.
153
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:47,391
Thanks.
154
00:12:53,481 --> 00:12:56,024
[Al narrating] So when this drunk handed me
a ten-spot after a request,
155
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:57,526
I couldn't get very excited.
156
00:12:57,777 --> 00:13:01,363
What was it, I asked myself?
A piece of paper crawling with germs.
157
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:03,866
Couldn't buy anything I wanted.
158
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:05,242
It couldn't...
159
00:13:08,246 --> 00:13:09,705
Then I thought of something.
160
00:13:33,104 --> 00:13:34,313
Long distance.
161
00:13:34,397 --> 00:13:36,857
I'd like to put a call through to Los Angeles.
162
00:13:36,941 --> 00:13:39,193
Miss Harvey. Sue Harvey.
163
00:13:39,277 --> 00:13:41,069
H-A-R-V-E-Y.
164
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:44,615
The number is CRestview 65723.
165
00:14:04,594 --> 00:14:06,386
- 4.50.
- [coin clatters]
166
00:14:06,471 --> 00:14:08,347
- 4.75.
- [coin clatters]
167
00:14:08,431 --> 00:14:09,431
5.00.
168
00:14:12,477 --> 00:14:15,020
Hello, Sue? This is Al.
169
00:14:15,104 --> 00:14:17,356
Oh, baby, it's great to hear from you too.
170
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,651
What's that? You do?
Oh, me too, darling.
171
00:14:20,735 --> 00:14:23,362
I thought I'd go batty without you.
I just had to...
172
00:14:23,446 --> 00:14:24,446
Huh?
173
00:14:25,406 --> 00:14:27,449
You're workin' as a hash slinger?
174
00:14:27,534 --> 00:14:28,867
Gee, honey, that's tough.
175
00:14:28,952 --> 00:14:32,371
Those guys out in Hollywood don't know
the real thing when it's right in front of them.
176
00:14:32,455 --> 00:14:34,164
You just stick it out, Sue, baby.
177
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:37,417
Keep goin' around to those casting offices.
I'm sure you'll click.
178
00:14:38,002 --> 00:14:40,629
Look, I'll tell you what.
You stay put out there. I'll come to you.
179
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:43,632
No, don't try to stop me. Just expect me.
180
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:46,760
Train? Who knows?
Train, plane, bus, magic carpet.
181
00:14:46,844 --> 00:14:50,430
I'll be there if I have to crawl.
If I have to travel by pogo stick.
182
00:14:50,515 --> 00:14:53,809
And then... let's get married right away.
183
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:59,439
That's the stuff. That's what
I've been wanting to hear you say.
184
00:15:00,525 --> 00:15:03,110
Well, good-bye for now.
185
00:15:04,362 --> 00:15:06,905
I'll be seeing you soon. [kisses]
186
00:15:07,282 --> 00:15:10,492
Yeah. [kisses] Bye.
187
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:18,500
[Al narrating] The only way I could
cross country was to thumb rides,
188
00:15:18,585 --> 00:15:21,587
for even after hocking everything,
I only had enough money to eat.
189
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:24,923
Money. You know what that is.
190
00:15:25,717 --> 00:15:27,551
It's the stuff you never have enough of.
191
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:29,720
Little green things
with George Washington's picture
192
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:33,432
that men slave for,
commit crimes for, die for.
193
00:15:34,183 --> 00:15:36,226
It's the stuff that has caused
more trouble in the world
194
00:15:36,311 --> 00:15:38,186
than anything else we ever invented,
195
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:41,273
simply because there's too little of it.
196
00:15:41,357 --> 00:15:43,442
At least I had too little of it.
197
00:15:43,526 --> 00:15:45,319
So it was me for the thumb.
198
00:16:01,753 --> 00:16:03,170
Ever done any hitchhiking?
199
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:05,881
It's not much fun, believe me.
200
00:16:06,549 --> 00:16:08,842
Oh, yeah,
I know all about how it's an education,
201
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:11,595
and how you get to meet a lot of people,
and all that.
202
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:15,849
But me, from now on
I'll take my education in college,
203
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:20,187
or in P.S. 62, or I'll send $1.98
in stamps for ten easy lessons.
204
00:16:29,447 --> 00:16:33,367
Thumbing rides may save you bus fare,
but it's dangerous.
205
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:37,954
You never know what's in store for you
when you hear the squeal of brakes.
206
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,001
If only I had known what I was getting into
that day in Arizona.
207
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:46,546
Here, throw that in the back seat.
208
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:51,301
Okay, let's go.
Make sure that door's closed.
209
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:53,553
- [door closes]
- [lock clacks]
210
00:17:05,483 --> 00:17:09,319
You know, Emily Post ought to write
a book of rules for guys thumbing rides.
211
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:13,031
Because as it is now you never know
what's right and what's wrong.
212
00:17:13,783 --> 00:17:17,285
We rode along for a little while,
neither one of us saying anything.
213
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:19,538
I was glad of that.
214
00:17:19,622 --> 00:17:22,457
I never know what to say
to strange people driving cars.
215
00:17:23,418 --> 00:17:26,545
And too, you can never tell
if a guy wants to talk.
216
00:17:26,629 --> 00:17:29,631
A lot of rides have been cut short
because of a big mouth.
217
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:34,845
So I kept my mouth shut
until he started opening up.
218
00:17:35,596 --> 00:17:38,473
Hand me that little box
in the compartment, will ya, pal?
219
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:42,936
Hold the wheel, will ya?
220
00:17:44,397 --> 00:17:45,397
[pills rattling]
221
00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:53,029
[glove box closes]
222
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:56,450
- How far are ya going?
- LA.
223
00:17:56,534 --> 00:17:58,577
Well, you're really traveling aren't ya?
224
00:17:58,661 --> 00:18:00,704
Yeah, but I don't expect to make it
for a couple years
225
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:02,372
at the rate I've been promoting rides.
226
00:18:02,457 --> 00:18:03,582
Not much luck, huh?
227
00:18:03,666 --> 00:18:05,459
Sure. All bad.
228
00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:07,753
Not many people stop for a guy these days.
229
00:18:07,837 --> 00:18:09,296
Afraid of a stickup maybe.
230
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:10,505
Ah, you can't blame 'em.
231
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:13,675
- Where ya comin' from?
- New York.
232
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,137
Well, New York. You're in luck this time.
233
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:19,139
I'm goin' all the way.
234
00:18:19,223 --> 00:18:20,807
Right through to Los Angeles.
235
00:18:22,018 --> 00:18:24,102
- You drive a car?
- Sure.
236
00:18:24,187 --> 00:18:26,897
- Whenever you're tired, let me know.
- I'll holler.
237
00:18:28,691 --> 00:18:30,776
I guess at least an hour passed
before I noticed
238
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:32,778
those deep scratches in his right hand.
239
00:18:33,237 --> 00:18:34,696
They were wicked.
240
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:37,532
Three puffy red lines
about a quarter of an inch apart.
241
00:18:38,576 --> 00:18:40,869
He must have seen me looking at them
because he said...
242
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:43,288
Beauties, aren't they?
243
00:18:44,081 --> 00:18:45,957
They're gonna be scars someday.
244
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:49,002
What an animal.
245
00:18:49,086 --> 00:18:51,880
Whatever it was, it must have been
pretty big and vicious to have done that.
246
00:18:52,381 --> 00:18:54,424
Right on both counts, New York.
247
00:18:54,509 --> 00:18:57,636
I was tussling with the most
dangerous animal in the world...
248
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,804
a woman.
249
00:18:59,388 --> 00:19:01,014
She must have been Tarzan's mate.
250
00:19:01,098 --> 00:19:02,766
Looks like you lost the bout.
251
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:04,559
Certainly wasn't a draw.
252
00:19:05,394 --> 00:19:08,313
You know, there ought to be a law
against dames with claws.
253
00:19:08,397 --> 00:19:09,314
Yeah.
254
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:11,483
I tossed her out of the car on her ear.
255
00:19:12,318 --> 00:19:16,655
Was I wrong? Give a lift to a tomato,
you expect her to be nice, don't ya?
256
00:19:16,739 --> 00:19:17,656
Yeah.
257
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:20,242
After all, what kind of dames thumb rides?
258
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:22,577
- Sunday school teachers?
- Yeah.
259
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:25,747
The little witch.
260
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:28,458
She must've thought she was riding
with some fall guy.
261
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:32,337
And me who's been booking horses
around racetracks since I was 20.
262
00:19:33,047 --> 00:19:34,923
[scoffs] I've known a million dames like her.
263
00:19:35,383 --> 00:19:37,217
- Two million.
- Yeah.
264
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:42,138
Stopped the car, opened the door...
265
00:19:42,223 --> 00:19:44,641
"Take it on the Arthur Duffy, sister,"
I told her.
266
00:19:44,725 --> 00:19:48,103
- That's the stuff.
- As I was down on her. [laughs]
267
00:19:48,479 --> 00:19:52,148
But if you wanna see a real scar, brother,
get a load of this.
268
00:19:53,442 --> 00:19:55,026
Wow.
269
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:57,904
- I got that one dueling.
- Dueling?
270
00:19:58,406 --> 00:19:59,865
Yeah. We were just kidding, of course.
271
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:02,450
My dad owned a couple of
Franco-Prussian sabers.
272
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:04,244
Kept 'em on the wall for decorations.
273
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:09,749
One day, another kid and I took 'em down
when the old man wasn't around. Had a duel.
274
00:20:09,834 --> 00:20:11,376
[chuckles]
275
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:13,587
He hit me in the arm, here.
276
00:20:13,671 --> 00:20:15,338
Pretty mean cut.
277
00:20:15,423 --> 00:20:16,965
Infection set in later.
278
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:18,842
Yeah, I can see that.
279
00:20:19,093 --> 00:20:21,428
- Oh, gimme that box again, will ya?
- Yeah.
280
00:20:24,765 --> 00:20:26,099
[pills rattling]
281
00:20:31,355 --> 00:20:32,397
[glove box closes]
282
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:35,525
Pain made me lose my head, I guess.
283
00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:37,694
I began slashing.
284
00:20:37,778 --> 00:20:40,488
Before I knew it,
I put the other kid's eye out.
285
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:43,950
- That was tough.
- Well, it was just an accident, of course.
286
00:20:44,035 --> 00:20:48,413
But you know how kids are. I got scared...
decided I was gonna run away from home.
287
00:20:48,915 --> 00:20:51,958
Old man almost clocked me
when I was packin' my duds.
288
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:56,296
If the bloody rag I had wrapped around my wrist
hadn't caught his attention,
289
00:20:56,380 --> 00:20:58,048
he'd have seen the bundle for sure.
290
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:01,551
But I beat it when he was phoning for a doctor.
291
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:06,598
That was 15, 16 years ago.
I haven't been home since.
292
00:21:10,561 --> 00:21:12,729
Pull in there for a bite of something, huh?
293
00:21:12,813 --> 00:21:14,481
[Al narrating] A bite of something.
294
00:21:14,565 --> 00:21:16,066
Brother, was I hungry.
295
00:21:16,150 --> 00:21:18,401
I hadn't had anything in my stomach for hours.
296
00:21:19,362 --> 00:21:21,404
Yet even with that gnawing
in the pit of my belly,
297
00:21:21,489 --> 00:21:24,324
I didn't want to be in too big a rush
to put on the feed bag.
298
00:21:25,076 --> 00:21:27,827
First, I had to make sure
this guy knew the score.
299
00:21:27,912 --> 00:21:31,247
If I got him down on me,
it was good-bye ticket to Hollywood.
300
00:21:32,083 --> 00:21:33,708
I'll wait out here for you, mister.
301
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:36,753
If it's the money, don't worry about
paying for it. This time it's on me.
302
00:21:36,837 --> 00:21:39,255
- Well, that's white of you, Mr...
- Haskell. Think nothing of it.
303
00:21:39,340 --> 00:21:42,717
You make your first million, maybe you can
do the same for me. Come on, New York.
304
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:44,594
I gotta make the West Coast by Wednesday.
305
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:47,263
There's a horse running at
Santa Anita named Paradisiacal.
306
00:21:47,348 --> 00:21:49,933
- Means dough to me if I'm running.
- We'll make it all right.
307
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:54,688
[Al narrating] He did most of the talking
during the half hour we were in the place.
308
00:21:54,772 --> 00:21:55,772
I ate.
309
00:21:56,857 --> 00:22:01,027
He rambled on about his old man, who he hadn't
heard from since he ran away as a kid,
310
00:22:01,112 --> 00:22:02,946
and how he happened to become a bookie,
311
00:22:03,030 --> 00:22:05,740
and then all about how he got rooked in Miami.
312
00:22:05,825 --> 00:22:08,660
One race, 38 grand.
They cleaned out my book.
313
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:11,079
- How do you like that?
- That was tough luck.
314
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:13,164
Yeah, and I'm supposed to be the smart guy.
315
00:22:13,249 --> 00:22:16,543
You just wait. I'm going back to Florida
next season with all kinds of jack.
316
00:22:16,627 --> 00:22:18,586
And you watch those stinkers run for cover.
317
00:22:19,547 --> 00:22:21,965
- Want anything else?
- No, thanks, I've had plenty.
318
00:22:27,638 --> 00:22:29,556
- The check there, sister?
- Mm-hmm.
319
00:22:32,601 --> 00:22:34,519
Oh, just a minute. Your change, sir.
320
00:22:34,603 --> 00:22:37,272
- Keep it, sister.
- Oh, thank you, sir. Call again.
321
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,190
I'll be waitin' outside for you
when you finish work.
322
00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:40,400
[chuckles]
323
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:41,776
Sharp chick, huh?
324
00:22:49,952 --> 00:22:52,912
[Al narrating] I drove all that night
while Haskell slept like a log.
325
00:22:53,581 --> 00:22:56,416
After a while, I began to get sleepy myself.
326
00:22:57,835 --> 00:23:01,671
I was happy though.
Soon I'd be with Sue again.
327
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:03,214
The long trip was practically over,
328
00:23:03,299 --> 00:23:06,009
and there'd be no more hoofing it
down the concrete.
329
00:23:06,761 --> 00:23:08,928
I began to think of the future,
330
00:23:09,013 --> 00:23:12,098
which couldn't have been brighter
if I'd embroidered it with neon lights.
331
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,226
It was nice to think of Sue shooting to the top.
332
00:23:16,437 --> 00:23:20,356
[chuckles] It's amazing what a full belly
can do to your imagination.
333
00:23:20,566 --> 00:23:23,276
[romantic ballad]
334
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:28,156
# Your eyes are blue
Your kisses too #
335
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,577
# I never knew what they could do #
336
00:23:32,661 --> 00:23:39,667
# I can't believe that you're in love with me #
337
00:23:41,045 --> 00:23:45,632
# You're telling everyone you know #
338
00:23:45,716 --> 00:23:50,095
# I'm on your mind each place you go #
339
00:23:50,179 --> 00:23:56,017
# I can't believe that you're in love #
340
00:23:56,352 --> 00:24:02,690
# With me #
341
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:12,951
Mr. Haskell.
342
00:24:14,703 --> 00:24:15,703
Mr. Haskell?
343
00:24:18,833 --> 00:24:20,875
Mr. Haskell, wake up! It's raining.
344
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,002
Don't you think we ought to stop
and put up the top?
345
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:33,263
Mr. Haskell, I'm gonna put up the top.
346
00:24:48,154 --> 00:24:50,029
[Al narrating] Until then,
I'd done things my way.
347
00:24:50,531 --> 00:24:52,699
But from then on, something else
stepped in and shunted me off
348
00:24:52,783 --> 00:24:55,535
to a different destination
than the one I had picked for myself.
349
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:58,329
For when I pulled open that door...
350
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:05,170
Mr. Haskell, what's the matter?
Are you hurt?
351
00:25:06,255 --> 00:25:07,547
Are you hurt, Mr. Haskell?
352
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:11,467
[Al narrating]
Start your sermon. I'll listen to it.
353
00:25:12,219 --> 00:25:15,013
But I know what you're gonna hand me
even before you open your mouths.
354
00:25:15,598 --> 00:25:18,016
You're gonna tell me you don't believe
my story of how Haskell died
355
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:21,352
and give me that "don't make me laugh"
expression on your smug faces.
356
00:25:24,815 --> 00:25:26,357
I saw at once he was dead.
357
00:25:26,692 --> 00:25:28,193
And I was in for it.
358
00:25:28,277 --> 00:25:30,111
Who would believe he fell out of the car?
359
00:25:30,196 --> 00:25:31,738
If Haskell came to, which,
of course, he couldn't,
360
00:25:31,822 --> 00:25:34,240
even he would swear
I conked him over the head for his dough.
361
00:25:34,325 --> 00:25:35,491
Yes, I was in for it.
362
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:39,829
Instinct told me to run,
but then I realized it was hopeless.
363
00:25:39,914 --> 00:25:41,998
There were lots of people back down the road
who could identify me.
364
00:25:42,082 --> 00:25:44,000
That gas station guy and the waitress.
365
00:25:44,084 --> 00:25:46,419
I would be in a worse spot then
trying to explain why I beat it.
366
00:25:47,504 --> 00:25:50,381
The next possibility was to sit tight
and tell the truth when the cops came.
367
00:25:50,466 --> 00:25:53,176
But that would be crazy.
They'd laugh at the truth.
368
00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:54,552
And I'd have my head in a noose.
369
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:59,807
So what else was there to do
but hide the body and get away in the car?
370
00:25:59,892 --> 00:26:02,101
I couldn't leave the car there
with him in the gully.
371
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:03,937
That would be like erecting a tombstone.
372
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:35,385
My idea was to cover him with brush,
not to rob him.
373
00:26:35,636 --> 00:26:38,304
But then I remembered that even if
I only drove the car for 100 miles or so,
374
00:26:38,389 --> 00:26:39,722
I would need money for gas.
375
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:44,060
Besides, it was stupid of me
to leave all that money on a dead man.
376
00:26:45,145 --> 00:26:47,188
Not only that,
I'd have to take his driver's license
377
00:26:47,273 --> 00:26:48,690
in case I was stopped for something.
378
00:26:50,901 --> 00:26:52,235
I didn't like to think about it,
379
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,821
but by that time I'd done
just what the police would say I did.
380
00:26:54,905 --> 00:26:57,740
Even if I didn't... My clothes.
381
00:26:58,367 --> 00:27:00,618
The owner of such an expensive car
would never be wearing them.
382
00:27:01,662 --> 00:27:03,246
Some cop might pull me in on suspicion.
383
00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,802
[motorcycle approaches]
384
00:27:28,939 --> 00:27:30,231
Hey, you. This your car?
385
00:27:30,941 --> 00:27:33,943
Don't you know better than to leave a car
with the wheels halfway in the middle of the road?
386
00:27:34,028 --> 00:27:35,403
That's the way accidents happen.
387
00:27:35,612 --> 00:27:38,614
I... I'm sorry, Officer.
I was just putting up my top.
388
00:27:38,699 --> 00:27:41,367
- I didn't think.
- Well, the next time, think.
389
00:27:41,452 --> 00:27:43,911
I'll let you go now,
but watch your step in the future.
390
00:27:43,996 --> 00:27:46,414
I know that it's a lonely stretch,
but cars come by here once in a while.
391
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:49,334
- We have plenty of crack-ups.
- Thanks, Officer.
392
00:28:13,067 --> 00:28:15,777
[Al narrating] I left nothing in the car
that'd give me away as Roberts.
393
00:28:15,861 --> 00:28:18,529
If they found a dead man in the gully now,
it could be me.
394
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:28,122
As I drove off, it was still raining.
395
00:28:29,083 --> 00:28:31,876
The drops streaked
down the windshield like tears.
396
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:36,381
I kept imagining I was being followed,
397
00:28:36,465 --> 00:28:38,341
that I could hear sirens
back in the distance.
398
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,471
Just how long it took to cover the 60-odd
miles to the California state line,
399
00:28:43,555 --> 00:28:44,555
I don't know.
400
00:28:45,057 --> 00:28:46,641
I lost all track of time.
401
00:28:47,351 --> 00:28:51,270
But the rain had stopped and the sun was up
when I pulled up to the inspection station.
402
00:28:55,859 --> 00:28:56,692
Hello.
403
00:28:57,653 --> 00:28:59,946
- Carrying any fruits or vegetables?
- No.
404
00:29:00,030 --> 00:29:02,198
- Any livestock or poultry?
- No.
405
00:29:02,282 --> 00:29:03,741
[footsteps approaching]
406
00:29:03,826 --> 00:29:06,202
I'd like to see your registration
and driver's license, please.
407
00:29:10,749 --> 00:29:13,251
- Anything in the baggage compartment?
- Just baggage.
408
00:29:15,212 --> 00:29:18,548
Charles Haskell Jr.
Age 30, brown eyes, dark hair.
409
00:29:18,841 --> 00:29:20,216
Identifying marks, none.
410
00:29:20,884 --> 00:29:23,094
- Are you Charles Haskell Jr.?
- Yes.
411
00:29:23,178 --> 00:29:25,263
Well, remember, if you're employed,
and you stay over 30 days,
412
00:29:25,347 --> 00:29:27,223
you take out California plates.
413
00:29:27,307 --> 00:29:29,517
All right, Officer, but I'll only be
in the state a short while.
414
00:29:31,186 --> 00:29:32,270
Right. You can go now.
415
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:42,113
[Al narrating] I couldn't drive any farther
without some sleep.
416
00:29:42,197 --> 00:29:45,783
Cops or no cops, I knew
I had to hit the hay and hit it hard.
417
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,203
I was dead tired.
418
00:30:20,027 --> 00:30:20,943
No.
419
00:30:21,820 --> 00:30:23,362
No, you can't, Mr. Haskell.
420
00:30:24,323 --> 00:30:25,156
No.
421
00:30:32,706 --> 00:30:35,374
Mr. Haskell, you can't die.
422
00:30:36,502 --> 00:30:39,128
They'll think... They'll think I did it.
423
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:42,173
No, Mr. Haskell.
424
00:30:42,591 --> 00:30:44,717
No, no...

[knocking continues]
427
00:30:59,358 --> 00:31:00,233
Who's there?
428
00:31:00,317 --> 00:31:02,610
It's the maid. Can I come in and clean?
429
00:31:03,820 --> 00:31:06,322
Later... in a half-hour.
430
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:07,490
All right, sir.
431
00:31:32,057 --> 00:31:33,599
[Al narrating] There was no time to lose.
432
00:31:33,684 --> 00:31:36,227
Every minute I had to be Charles Haskell
was dangerous.
433
00:31:36,311 --> 00:31:38,521
I'd have to be Charles Haskell
until I got to some city
434
00:31:38,605 --> 00:31:40,648
where I could leave the car
and be swallowed up.
435
00:31:46,238 --> 00:31:48,864
That meant driving the car
as far as San Bernardino,
436
00:31:48,949 --> 00:31:50,491
maybe even to Los Angeles.
437
00:31:50,576 --> 00:31:52,451
In a little town, I might be noticed.
438
00:31:52,536 --> 00:31:54,328
But in a city, I should be safe enough.
439
00:31:55,581 --> 00:31:58,666
Then, after I ditched the car,
I could go on to Sue.
440
00:31:59,585 --> 00:32:02,545
But those five minutes at the state line
made me realize
441
00:32:02,629 --> 00:32:05,631
it might be a good idea to find out
a little bit about Mr. Haskell.
442
00:32:06,633 --> 00:32:09,302
Then if anybody asked me questions,
I could give the right answers.
443
00:32:10,345 --> 00:32:13,806
The first thing I found out
was that I had $768.
444
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:17,768
This was a lot of jack, but believe me,
445
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:19,895
it was the kind of money
I'd rather not have.
446
00:32:27,446 --> 00:32:31,115
And then I found out from a letter
Haskell was carting around in his bag
447
00:32:31,199 --> 00:32:33,784
that he wasn't the openhanded,
easygoing big shot
448
00:32:33,869 --> 00:32:36,412
who went around buying dinners
for strange hitchhikers.
449
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:39,832
Before I got done reading it,
I saw him more as a chiseler.
450
00:32:41,209 --> 00:32:43,836
It was written
to his old man in California,
451
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,796
the one he hadn't seen in so many years.
452
00:32:46,590 --> 00:32:51,385
In it, Haskell posed as a salesman...
of hymnals, of all things.
453
00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:54,388
It was easy to see where Haskell expected
454
00:32:54,473 --> 00:32:56,849
to raise a new stake
for his book in Miami...
455
00:32:57,684 --> 00:32:59,143
by rooking his old man.
456
00:33:00,771 --> 00:33:03,689
That was about all I found out
from his effects.
457
00:33:03,774 --> 00:33:04,857
And it was enough.
458
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:09,737
I told myself maybe old man Haskell
was lucky his son kicked off.
459
00:33:10,864 --> 00:33:12,531
He would never know it,
460
00:33:12,616 --> 00:33:16,077
but it saved him from taking a flier
in sacred literature preferred.
461
00:33:22,793 --> 00:33:24,377
[birds chirping]
462
00:33:41,186 --> 00:33:43,979
Near the airport at Desert Center,
I pulled up for water.
463
00:33:45,607 --> 00:33:46,691
There was a woman.
464
00:33:51,321 --> 00:33:53,614
Hey, you. Come on if you want a ride.
465
00:34:07,587 --> 00:34:08,587
[car hood slams]
466
00:34:39,995 --> 00:34:41,662
How far you goin'?
467
00:34:41,747 --> 00:34:43,122
How far are you going?
468
00:34:43,749 --> 00:34:46,792
[Al narrating] That took me by surprise.
I turned my head to look her over.
469
00:34:47,836 --> 00:34:50,588
She was facing straight ahead,
so I couldn't see her eyes.
470
00:34:51,006 --> 00:34:53,758
But she was young, not more than 24.
471
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:56,844
Man, she looked as if
she'd just been thrown off
472
00:34:56,928 --> 00:34:59,305
the crummiest freight train in the world.
473
00:35:00,140 --> 00:35:02,641
Yet, in spite of this,
I got the impression of beauty.
474
00:35:03,727 --> 00:35:06,020
Not the beauty of a movie actress,
mind you,
475
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,689
or the beauty you dream about
when you're with your wife,
476
00:35:08,774 --> 00:35:10,065
but a natural beauty,
477
00:35:10,567 --> 00:35:13,194
a beauty that's almost homely
because it's so real.
478
00:35:15,363 --> 00:35:17,114
Then, suddenly, she turned to face me.
479
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:20,409
- How far did you say you were going?
- Los Angeles.
480
00:35:20,494 --> 00:35:21,410
LA?
481
00:35:22,287 --> 00:35:25,790
- LA's good enough for me, mister.
- That's what I was afraid of.
482
00:35:25,874 --> 00:35:29,084
- What'd you say?
- Oh, nothing. Just thinking out loud.
483
00:35:29,169 --> 00:35:31,128
People get in trouble for doing that.
484
00:35:32,005 --> 00:35:34,715
- What's your name?
- You can call me Vera, if you like.
485
00:35:35,509 --> 00:35:37,176
- You live in Los Angeles?
- No.
486
00:35:39,054 --> 00:35:41,555
- Where you coming from?
- Oh, back there.
487
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,098
- Needles?
- No.
488
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:47,102
Oh, sure. Phoenix.
You look just like a Phoenix girl.
489
00:35:47,687 --> 00:35:49,855
- Are the girls in Phoenix that bad?
- [chuckles]
490
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:51,774
[Al narrating]
The girl must have been pretty tired
491
00:35:51,858 --> 00:35:54,944
because she fell asleep not 20 minutes
after she stepped into the car.
492
00:35:55,737 --> 00:35:59,782
She lay sprawled out with her head resting
against the far door, like Haskell.
493
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:03,452
I didn't like that part of it much,
but I didn't wake her up.
494
00:36:04,955 --> 00:36:06,872
It wasn't that this girl still worried me.
495
00:36:07,374 --> 00:36:10,376
I'd gotten over that funny feeling
I had when she looked at me,
496
00:36:10,460 --> 00:36:13,003
which I put down
as just my jangled nerves.
497
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:16,590
With her eyes closed
and the tenseness gone out of her,
498
00:36:16,675 --> 00:36:18,133
she seemed harmless enough.
499
00:36:18,885 --> 00:36:21,929
Instead of disliking her,
I began to feel sorry for her.
500
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:25,182
The poor kid probably
had had a rough time of it.
501
00:36:26,476 --> 00:36:27,977
Who was she, anyway?
502
00:36:28,061 --> 00:36:30,479
And why was she going to Los Angeles?
503
00:36:30,564 --> 00:36:32,898
And where'd she come from
in the first place?
504
00:36:32,983 --> 00:36:34,775
The only thing I knew about her
was her name.
505
00:36:35,777 --> 00:36:37,361
Not that it made any difference.
506
00:36:37,445 --> 00:36:39,738
A few hours more and we'd be in Hollywood.
507
00:36:39,823 --> 00:36:42,241
I'd forget where I parked the car
and look up Sue.
508
00:36:43,118 --> 00:36:45,286
This nightmare of being a dead man
would be over.
509
00:36:46,121 --> 00:36:48,831
Who this dame was, well,
it was no business of mine.
510
00:36:48,915 --> 00:36:52,918
Where did you leave his body?
Where did you leave the owner of this car?
511
00:36:53,003 --> 00:36:54,712
You're not fooling anyone.
512
00:36:55,297 --> 00:36:58,173
This buggy belongs to a guy named Haskell.
That's not you, mister.
513
00:36:58,258 --> 00:37:01,343
You're out of your mind. That's my name.
Charles Haskell. I can prove it.
514
00:37:01,428 --> 00:37:03,512
- Here's my driver's license.
- Save yourself the trouble, mister.
515
00:37:03,597 --> 00:37:05,848
Having Haskell's wallet
only makes it worse.
516
00:37:05,932 --> 00:37:08,017
It just so happens
I rode with Charlie Haskell
517
00:37:08,101 --> 00:37:09,685
all the way from Louisiana.
518
00:37:09,769 --> 00:37:11,854
He picked me up outside of Shreveport.
519
00:37:11,938 --> 00:37:13,564
- You rode...
- You heard me.
520
00:37:14,149 --> 00:37:15,983
[Al narrating] Then it all came back to me.
521
00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:18,652
All the talk about dueling
and scars and scratches.
522
00:37:19,613 --> 00:37:21,363
There was no doubt about it.
523
00:37:21,448 --> 00:37:23,949
Vera must be the woman
Haskell had mentioned.
524
00:37:24,034 --> 00:37:25,784
She must have passed me while I slept.
525
00:37:25,869 --> 00:37:28,871
Well? Well, I'm waiting.
526
00:37:28,955 --> 00:37:30,331
My goose was cooked.
527
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:32,082
She had me.
528
00:37:32,876 --> 00:37:34,668
That Haskell guy wasn't dead yet.
529
00:37:35,253 --> 00:37:38,172
He wasn't stretched out stiff and cold
in any Arizona gully.
530
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:41,425
He was sitting right there in the car,
laughing like mad while he haunted me.
531
00:37:43,345 --> 00:37:44,303
Well?
532
00:37:44,387 --> 00:37:47,514
There was nothing I could say.
It was her move.
533
00:37:48,224 --> 00:37:50,142
Vera, whatever her name was.
534
00:37:50,226 --> 00:37:52,478
It was just my luck
picking her up on the road.
535
00:37:53,313 --> 00:37:56,148
It couldn't have been Helen
or Mary or Evelyn or Ruth.
536
00:37:57,025 --> 00:37:59,526
It had to be the very last person
I should ever have met.
537
00:38:00,820 --> 00:38:01,820
That's life.
538
00:38:02,697 --> 00:38:05,491
Whichever way you turn,
fate sticks out a foot to trip you.
539
00:38:11,081 --> 00:38:13,457
I told her everything,
but she didn't believe my story.
540
00:38:13,541 --> 00:38:15,167
I should've saved my breath.
541
00:38:15,251 --> 00:38:17,670
That's the greatest cock-and-bull story
I ever heard.
542
00:38:17,754 --> 00:38:19,380
So he fell out of his car.
543
00:38:19,464 --> 00:38:21,507
Say, who do you think
you're talking to, a hick?
544
00:38:21,591 --> 00:38:23,592
Listen, mister. I've been around.
545
00:38:23,677 --> 00:38:27,054
And I know a wrong guy when I see one.
What'd you do, kiss him with a wrench?
546
00:38:27,138 --> 00:38:29,264
Now wait a minute.
What I told you was true.
547
00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:30,891
You see, that's why I had to do it.
548
00:38:30,976 --> 00:38:33,352
You think I killed him.
Well, the cops would've thought so too.
549
00:38:33,436 --> 00:38:35,187
Yeah, well maybe they still think so.
550
00:38:36,106 --> 00:38:38,482
What makes you so sure
I'll shut up about this?
551
00:38:38,566 --> 00:38:41,318
Vera, I'm innocent.
Give me a break, will you?
552
00:38:42,696 --> 00:38:44,488
It won't do me any good
having you pinched.
553
00:38:44,572 --> 00:38:46,115
The cops are no friends of mine.
554
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:49,076
Now, if there was a reward...
But there isn't.
555
00:38:49,703 --> 00:38:51,912
- Thanks.
- Don't thank me yet.
556
00:38:51,997 --> 00:38:55,332
I'm not through with you by a long shot.
Let's see that roll.
557
00:39:02,090 --> 00:39:03,674
Is that all Haskell had?
558
00:39:03,758 --> 00:39:05,509
- Isn't it enough?
- No, I thought he had more.
559
00:39:05,593 --> 00:39:07,845
Not that I know of. You can search me
if you think I'm holding out on you.
560
00:39:07,929 --> 00:39:09,596
Well, maybe I will at that.
561
00:39:09,681 --> 00:39:11,807
He told me he was gonna bet $3,000
562
00:39:11,891 --> 00:39:14,560
on a horse named Paradisiacal
on Wednesday at Santa Anita.
563
00:39:14,644 --> 00:39:16,979
- He was stringing you along. He meant 300.
- Maybe.
564
00:39:17,063 --> 00:39:20,357
Sure. Three bucks, 300.
He was a piece of cheese, a big blowhard.
565
00:39:20,442 --> 00:39:23,277
Listen, mister. Don't try and tell me
anything about Charlie Haskell.
566
00:39:23,361 --> 00:39:25,279
Remember, I knew him better than you did.
567
00:39:25,363 --> 00:39:28,073
Okay, then you knew he was a four-flusher.
That explains the three-grand bet.
568
00:39:28,158 --> 00:39:30,576
I'm not so sure
he didn't have that three grand.
569
00:39:30,660 --> 00:39:34,121
Why should I believe you?
You got all the earmarks of a cheap crook.
570
00:39:34,205 --> 00:39:35,622
- Now, wait a minute.
- Shut up.
571
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:37,207
You're a cheap crook and you killed him.
572
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:39,418
For two cents,
I'd change my mind and turn you in.
573
00:39:39,502 --> 00:39:40,794
I don't like you!
574
00:39:40,879 --> 00:39:43,338
- All right, all right. Don't get sore.
- I'm not getting sore.
575
00:39:43,423 --> 00:39:45,507
But just remember who's boss around here.
576
00:39:45,592 --> 00:39:47,134
If you shut up
and don't give me any arguments,
577
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:48,677
you'll have nothing to worry about.
578
00:39:48,762 --> 00:39:50,512
But if you act wise, well, mister,
579
00:39:50,597 --> 00:39:53,182
you'll pop into jail so fast
it'll give you the bends.
580
00:39:53,266 --> 00:39:55,059
- I'm not arguing.
- Well, see that you don't.
581
00:39:55,143 --> 00:39:56,477
You know, as crooked as you look,
582
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:59,605
I'd hate to see a fella as young as you
wind up sniffing that perfume
583
00:39:59,689 --> 00:40:01,482
that Arizona hands out free to murderers.
584
00:40:01,566 --> 00:40:03,233
- I'm not a murderer.
- Of course you're not.
585
00:40:03,318 --> 00:40:04,693
Haskell knocked his own head off.
586
00:40:04,778 --> 00:40:06,278
He fell. That's how it happened,
just like I told you.
587
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:08,530
Sure, and then he made you a present
of his belongings.
588
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:10,324
- I explained why...
- Oh, skip it.
589
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:13,118
Doesn't make a difference one way
or another. I'm not a mourner.
590
00:40:13,203 --> 00:40:15,412
I liked Haskell even less than I like you.
591
00:40:15,955 --> 00:40:17,372
Yeah, I saw what you did to him.
592
00:40:17,457 --> 00:40:19,541
- What do you mean?
- Those scratches on his wrists.
593
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:20,959
Sure, I scratched him.
594
00:40:21,961 --> 00:40:23,128
I'll say you did.
595
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:26,673
So your idea was
to drive the car a little way,
596
00:40:26,758 --> 00:40:28,967
maybe into San Bernardino,
and then leave it.
597
00:40:29,052 --> 00:40:30,385
You weren't gonna sell it?
598
00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:33,597
Sell it? You think I'm crazy?
Somebody else's car?
599
00:40:33,681 --> 00:40:36,266
All I wanna do is leave it somewhere
and forget I ever saw it.
600
00:40:36,351 --> 00:40:39,269
Not only don't you have any scruples,
you don't have any brains.
601
00:40:39,354 --> 00:40:42,022
- I don't get you.
- Maybe it's a good thing you met me.
602
00:40:42,107 --> 00:40:44,983
You would of got yourself caught, sure.
Why, you dope.
603
00:40:45,068 --> 00:40:48,362
Don't you know a deserted automobile
always rates an investigation?
604
00:40:48,696 --> 00:40:49,863
Huh?
605
00:40:49,948 --> 00:40:52,783
Look. The cops find a car.
Then they get curious.
606
00:40:52,867 --> 00:40:54,493
They wonder where the owner is.
607
00:40:54,577 --> 00:40:57,996
So, all right, they don't trace Haskell.
They trace you.
608
00:40:58,206 --> 00:40:59,790
I never thought of that.
609
00:40:59,874 --> 00:41:02,626
The only safe way to get rid of the car
is to sell it to a dealer,
610
00:41:02,710 --> 00:41:04,253
get it registered under a new name.
611
00:41:04,754 --> 00:41:06,004
Say, stop at the next store.
612
00:41:06,089 --> 00:41:08,882
I wanna get a bottle and do some shopping
before we hit LA.
613
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:12,219
Okay. Soon as we find a place,
I'll drop you off and pick you up later.
614
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:14,429
Nothin' doin'. You're coming in too.
615
00:41:14,514 --> 00:41:17,349
From now on,
you and I are like the Siamese twins.
616
00:41:17,433 --> 00:41:19,434
Have it your way,
but I don't get the point.
617
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:21,687
The point is I don't want you to get lost.
618
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:23,397
I'm not gonna beat it,
if that's what you're afraid of.
619
00:41:23,481 --> 00:41:24,648
I'll say you're not.
620
00:41:24,732 --> 00:41:27,568
Well, I'm gonna see that you sell this car
so you don't get caught.
621
00:41:27,652 --> 00:41:31,446
Thanks. Of course, your interest
wouldn't be financial, would it?
622
00:41:31,531 --> 00:41:33,699
You wouldn't want
a small percentage of the profits?
623
00:41:34,284 --> 00:41:37,202
Well, now that you insist,
how can I refuse?
624
00:41:37,287 --> 00:41:38,912
A hundred percent'll do.
625
00:41:38,997 --> 00:41:40,873
Fine. I'm relieved.
626
00:41:40,957 --> 00:41:43,208
I thought for a moment
you were gonna take it all.
627
00:41:43,293 --> 00:41:44,710
I don't want to be a hog.
628
00:41:46,588 --> 00:41:48,672
[Al narrating] A few hours later,
we were in Hollywood.
629
00:41:49,090 --> 00:41:51,466
I was recognizing places
Sue had written about.
630
00:41:52,051 --> 00:41:55,012
It struck me that,
far from being at the end of the trip,
631
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:58,098
there was a greater distance between Sue
and me than when I started out.
632
00:41:59,434 --> 00:42:02,060
Vera wasn't kidding
with that Siamese twins crack.
633
00:42:02,687 --> 00:42:06,106
She rented a little apartment
as Mrs. Charles Haskell.
634
00:42:07,025 --> 00:42:10,110
When I objected to this, she explained
that it was on account of the car.
635
00:42:10,612 --> 00:42:12,154
A dealer might think something was funny
636
00:42:12,238 --> 00:42:14,531
if he called and found
we were using different names.
637
00:42:19,704 --> 00:42:21,538
- Home, sweet home.
- Yeah.
638
00:42:22,457 --> 00:42:23,498
Not bad, either.
639
00:42:31,466 --> 00:42:33,842
In case there's any doubt in your mind,
I'll take the bedroom.
640
00:42:34,302 --> 00:42:35,177
Yeah.
641
00:42:36,471 --> 00:42:37,846
Sure is stuffy in here.
642
00:42:45,980 --> 00:42:47,689
- Keep the window shut.
- Okay.
643
00:42:50,026 --> 00:42:53,487
The old crow downstairs said
there's a folding bed behind this door.
644
00:42:59,535 --> 00:43:00,702
You know how to work it?
645
00:43:04,457 --> 00:43:05,540
I invented it.
646
00:43:09,504 --> 00:43:11,630
- Some joint.
- One can't have everything.
647
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,387
I'm first in the bathtub.
648
00:43:19,180 --> 00:43:22,140
I don't know why,
but I figured you would be.
649
00:43:31,985 --> 00:43:35,570
Boy, oh, boy. [sighs]
It sure feels good to be clean again.
650
00:43:36,948 --> 00:43:38,407
I must be ten pounds lighter.
651
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:40,450
You must be.
652
00:43:40,535 --> 00:43:42,077
[saxophone playing]
653
00:43:42,161 --> 00:43:45,372
Well, hitchin' rides isn't exactly the way
you keep your schoolgirl complexion.
654
00:43:49,585 --> 00:43:51,712
I wish that guy with the sax
would give up.
655
00:43:53,089 --> 00:43:54,423
It gets on my nerves.
656
00:43:56,509 --> 00:43:57,509
Forget it.
657
00:44:00,138 --> 00:44:01,179
Have a drink.
658
00:44:02,390 --> 00:44:04,141
Aren't you afraid
I'm gonna take you up on it?
659
00:44:06,269 --> 00:44:08,562
If I didn't wanna give you a drink,
I wouldn't have offered it.
660
00:44:09,731 --> 00:44:12,983
Why be a sorehead, Roberts?
You got yourself into this thing.
661
00:44:14,068 --> 00:44:15,902
You should be grateful
I'm not turning you in.
662
00:44:16,904 --> 00:44:19,114
Why, if I wasn't regular,
you'd be in the pen this minute
663
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:22,284
being photographed, fingerprinted,
and being pushed around by the cops.
664
00:44:23,077 --> 00:44:25,620
So cheer up. Get rid of that long puss.
665
00:44:27,874 --> 00:44:29,666
Or is your conscience bothering you?
666
00:44:34,672 --> 00:44:35,505
No.
667
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:37,382
It isn't.
668
00:44:37,467 --> 00:44:39,468
Swell. That's the spirit.
669
00:44:41,012 --> 00:44:43,180
He's dead,
and no moaning around will bring him back.
670
00:44:46,684 --> 00:44:50,312
Anyway, I never could understand this worrying
about something that's over and done with.
671
00:44:50,396 --> 00:44:52,439
Now look, Vera.
For the last time, I didn't kill him.
672
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:53,982
Haskell was a sick man.
673
00:44:54,067 --> 00:44:56,109
Maybe he was dead before he fell
out of the car. I don't know.
674
00:44:56,194 --> 00:44:58,403
Sure, sure. He died of old age.
675
00:44:59,364 --> 00:45:00,364
All right.
676
00:45:01,324 --> 00:45:02,824
So if it'll make you sociable...
677
00:45:04,577 --> 00:45:05,827
you didn't kill him.
678
00:45:16,464 --> 00:45:17,297
Thanks.
679
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:31,186
- We're outta liquor, Roberts.
- Yeah.
680
00:45:32,313 --> 00:45:35,440
Too bad.
I felt like getting tight tonight.
681
00:45:35,525 --> 00:45:37,567
Well, I think you succeeded.
682
00:45:37,652 --> 00:45:40,737
- Am I tight?
- As a prima donna's corset.
683
00:45:40,822 --> 00:45:42,197
- That's good.
- [glass clatters]
684
00:45:42,281 --> 00:45:44,074
I wanted to get tight.
685
00:45:44,158 --> 00:45:46,785
Why? What have you got to get tight about?
686
00:45:46,869 --> 00:45:49,246
Oh, I don't know. A few things.
687
00:45:50,123 --> 00:45:50,956
[Al] Huh.
688
00:45:52,583 --> 00:45:54,042
You should have my worries.
689
00:45:54,127 --> 00:45:56,670
If I had your troubles, I'd stay sober.
690
00:45:56,754 --> 00:45:58,380
And I've got the key to that door.
691
00:46:01,926 --> 00:46:04,678
Yeah. Maybe you're right.
692
00:46:04,762 --> 00:46:06,388
I'm always right.
693
00:46:07,723 --> 00:46:10,183
You know, I don't like your attitude,
Roberts.
694
00:46:10,268 --> 00:46:12,018
Well, there's a lot of things I don't like.
695
00:46:13,479 --> 00:46:14,813
Say...
696
00:46:17,191 --> 00:46:19,276
But life's like a ball game.
697
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,111
You got to take a swing
at whatever comes along
698
00:46:21,195 --> 00:46:23,613
before you wake up
and find it's the ninth inning.
699
00:46:24,532 --> 00:46:25,782
Bet you read that somewhere.
700
00:46:25,867 --> 00:46:29,703
That's the trouble with you, Roberts.
All you do is bellyache.
701
00:46:30,788 --> 00:46:35,500
You could have taken it easy and,
well, try and make the best of things.
702
00:46:35,585 --> 00:46:38,378
But maybe that's what's wrong
with the whole world.
703
00:46:38,463 --> 00:46:40,297
Get the professor.
704
00:46:40,381 --> 00:46:43,133
People knock themselves out
trying to buck fate.
705
00:46:43,217 --> 00:46:46,386
Now take you, for instance.
You're lucky to be alive.
706
00:46:46,471 --> 00:46:49,055
Why, suppose Haskell had pulled open
your door?
707
00:46:49,140 --> 00:46:51,850
You'd be playing a harp now.
Think of that.
708
00:46:53,603 --> 00:46:56,855
You think of it. I'm tired of thinking.
709
00:46:56,939 --> 00:46:59,816
There's plenty of people dying this minute
710
00:46:59,901 --> 00:47:02,402
that would give anything
to trade places with you.
711
00:47:04,363 --> 00:47:05,989
I know what I'm talking about.
712
00:47:07,033 --> 00:47:10,744
I'm not so sure.
At least they know they're done for.
713
00:47:10,828 --> 00:47:13,580
They don't just sweat blood
wondering if they are.
714
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:16,750
Your philosophy stinks, pal.
715
00:47:18,002 --> 00:47:21,796
We all know we're gonna kick off someday.
It's only a question of when.
716
00:47:23,591 --> 00:47:26,551
But what got us on this subject anyway?
717
00:47:26,636 --> 00:47:28,553
We'll be discussing politics next.
718
00:47:29,388 --> 00:47:30,472
Yeah.
719
00:47:32,058 --> 00:47:33,433
Where'd you hide the butts?
720
00:47:34,310 --> 00:47:35,936
On the table, sucker.
721
00:47:43,611 --> 00:47:47,113
[Al narrating] We bored each other with
conversation for a couple of hours longer.
722
00:47:47,198 --> 00:47:50,408
Every five minutes, one of us was wishing
we had another bottle or a radio
723
00:47:50,493 --> 00:47:52,118
or something to read.
724
00:47:53,538 --> 00:47:55,247
Then finally we ran out of chat.
725
00:47:56,207 --> 00:47:57,499
I know it's only eleven o'clock,
726
00:47:57,583 --> 00:48:00,085
but I want to get up early
and make the rounds to the used car lots.
727
00:48:00,169 --> 00:48:03,088
No hurry about that.
We got all the time in the world.
728
00:48:03,172 --> 00:48:05,257
Maybe you have, but if you think
I want to stay cooped up in this place
729
00:48:05,341 --> 00:48:06,925
any longer than I have to, you're batty.
730
00:48:07,009 --> 00:48:10,262
It's not a bad place. Pay plenty
for diggings like this in New York.
731
00:48:10,346 --> 00:48:12,347
I wouldn't like it if it was the Ritz.
732
00:48:12,431 --> 00:48:14,849
[coughs]
733
00:48:16,602 --> 00:48:18,144
Rotten liquor. [coughs]
734
00:48:18,229 --> 00:48:20,981
You got a mean cough.
Ought to do something about it.
735
00:48:21,065 --> 00:48:22,315
I'll be all right.
736
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,817
That's what Camille said.
737
00:48:24,527 --> 00:48:25,652
Who?
738
00:48:25,736 --> 00:48:27,195
Nobody you know.
739
00:48:30,908 --> 00:48:33,368
- Wasn't that the dame that died of consumption?
- Yeah.
740
00:48:34,704 --> 00:48:37,289
Wouldn't it be a break for you
if I did kick off.
741
00:48:37,373 --> 00:48:40,333
You'd be free
with all Haskell's dough and car.
742
00:48:40,418 --> 00:48:42,043
I don't want to see anybody die.
743
00:48:43,212 --> 00:48:44,921
Not even me?
744
00:48:45,006 --> 00:48:48,008
Especially not you. One person died on me.
745
00:48:48,092 --> 00:48:50,510
If you did, well, that's all I need.
746
00:48:52,388 --> 00:48:54,222
You don't like me, do you, Roberts?
747
00:48:55,933 --> 00:48:56,975
Like you?
748
00:48:58,352 --> 00:48:59,769
I love you.
749
00:49:01,022 --> 00:49:02,981
My favorite sport is being kept prisoner.
750
00:49:04,025 --> 00:49:07,485
After we sell the car, you can go to blazes
for all I care, but not until then.
751
00:49:14,910 --> 00:49:16,536
I'm going to bed.
752
00:49:24,962 --> 00:49:26,463
Good night, Roberts.
753
00:49:26,547 --> 00:49:29,549
Don't try and sneak away during the night.
All the doors are locked.
754
00:49:29,634 --> 00:49:33,136
Anyway, if I find you gone in the morning,
I'll notify the police.
755
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:35,889
- They'll pick you up.
- Don't worry. I know when I'm in a spot.
756
00:49:36,974 --> 00:49:40,935
Well, good night. I hope that portable
rack isn't too uncomfortable for you.
757
00:49:41,020 --> 00:49:43,146
Don't lose any sleep over it,
will you, Vera?
758
00:49:44,940 --> 00:49:47,025

Hello!

Hello?

Hello?
766
00:50:48,295 --> 00:50:51,881
No. Not yet, darling.
767
00:50:53,134 --> 00:50:54,509
Tomorrow.
768
00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:56,928
Maybe.

I would fall in love with her, marry her,
and make a respectable woman of her,
771
00:51:05,646 --> 00:51:09,816
or else she'd make some supreme,
class-A sacrifice for me and die.
772
00:51:11,152 --> 00:51:13,361
Sue and I would ball a little
over her grave
773
00:51:13,446 --> 00:51:16,448
and make some crack about
"there's good in all of us."
774
00:51:16,532 --> 00:51:20,160
But Vera, unfortunately,
was just as rotten in the morning
775
00:51:20,244 --> 00:51:21,870
as she'd been the night before.
776
00:51:21,954 --> 00:51:23,455
[knocking]
777
00:51:23,539 --> 00:51:25,415
All right, all right, I'm coming.
778
00:51:25,499 --> 00:51:27,459
[Al] Look, Vera, it's almost noon.
779
00:51:29,003 --> 00:51:31,254
So what?
The dealers will be there all day.
780
00:51:31,338 --> 00:51:34,007
They'll be there all year too, but it
doesn't mean I'm gonna wait that long.
781
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:36,551
Shut up.
You're making noises like a husband.
782
00:51:39,180 --> 00:51:42,932
- Well, do I rate a whistle?
- You sure do, but let's go.
783
00:51:43,017 --> 00:51:46,519
Let's go, let's go. I spend 85 bucks
and two hours preparing bait,
784
00:51:46,604 --> 00:51:48,188
and all you can say is "Let's go."
785
00:51:48,272 --> 00:51:51,274
[sighs] Come on.
786
00:51:56,071 --> 00:51:58,698
We passed a few used car lots
last night down this way.
787
00:51:58,783 --> 00:52:00,784
What do you think
we can get for this heap?
788
00:52:00,868 --> 00:52:04,496
I don't know. Plenty.
You just let me handle everything.
789
00:52:04,580 --> 00:52:06,206
You think we can get $2,000?
790
00:52:06,290 --> 00:52:07,707
I don't know. But don't worry.
791
00:52:07,792 --> 00:52:10,126
I'll squeeze as much
out of this guy as I can.
792
00:52:10,211 --> 00:52:13,296
If I let it go cheap without a fight,
he might think we've stolen the car.
793
00:52:13,380 --> 00:52:17,675
And listen, don't make any slips
and call me Roberts. That'll cook us.
794
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,636
I don't need you to tell me that.
795
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:21,930
You better just sit by
and keep your mouth closed.
796
00:52:22,014 --> 00:52:24,015
Remember, we're both in the soup
if anything happens.
797
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:25,642
Forget it and drive.
798
00:52:25,726 --> 00:52:28,144
You're my wife... Vera Haskell.
799
00:52:28,229 --> 00:52:32,315
Look, after the deal's closed, let's go
back to that place on Hollywood Boulevard
800
00:52:32,399 --> 00:52:33,942
where I saw the fur jacket.
801
00:52:34,026 --> 00:52:35,235
I want to buy it.
802
00:52:35,319 --> 00:52:37,987
After the deal's closed,
I'm saying good-bye to you.
803
00:52:38,072 --> 00:52:41,491
That's right. I forgot.
I guess I'm getting kind of used to you.
804
00:52:42,743 --> 00:52:45,036
Well, that's a habit
you can start breaking.
805
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,455
Let's try this place
in the middle of the block.
806
00:52:53,671 --> 00:52:55,129
Good afternoon. What can I do for you?
807
00:52:55,214 --> 00:52:58,508
- We're interested in selling a car.
- If the price is right.
808
00:53:01,387 --> 00:53:05,473
Well, if it's in good mechanical condition,
it should blue book for about 1,600.
809
00:53:06,475 --> 00:53:07,892
Tony, take a look at this motor.
810
00:53:07,977 --> 00:53:10,228
1,600. Are you kidding?
811
00:53:14,108 --> 00:53:15,900
[car hood opening]
812
00:53:21,448 --> 00:53:23,283
Well, maybe 1,850.
813
00:53:23,367 --> 00:53:26,744
Before I let it go for 1,850, I'll wreck it
and collect the insurance first.
814
00:53:26,829 --> 00:53:27,912
[coughs]
815
00:53:31,375 --> 00:53:33,376
Lady, this motor's seen a lot of driving.
816
00:53:39,925 --> 00:53:43,219
[Al narrating] While the mechanic
inspected the car, we haggled.
817
00:53:43,721 --> 00:53:46,973
At last, when we were all worn out,
we hit a compromise...
818
00:53:47,057 --> 00:53:48,600
his price.
819
00:53:51,896 --> 00:53:53,104
Okay, it's a deal.
820
00:53:53,188 --> 00:53:56,524
- Come in, we'll sign the papers.
- I have the ownership papers here with me.
821
00:53:56,609 --> 00:53:59,319
Look, Vera, in the meantime,
will you clean out the dash compartment?
822
00:53:59,403 --> 00:54:02,196
- There may be some stuff in it.
- All right, darling.
823
00:54:04,325 --> 00:54:06,534
1,850 bucks.
824
00:54:06,619 --> 00:54:08,244
That dirty cr...
825
00:54:15,544 --> 00:54:17,420
- Mm, New York, huh?
- Yeah.
826
00:54:17,504 --> 00:54:20,757
- But you bought the car in Miami?
- Yeah.
827
00:54:20,841 --> 00:54:22,467
Well, now, let's see about the insurance.
828
00:54:22,551 --> 00:54:24,552
We can either have it transferred
or canceled.
829
00:54:24,637 --> 00:54:27,263
Uh, what kind of insurance do you have,
Mr. Haskell?
830
00:54:28,432 --> 00:54:31,559
Well, uh, aren't all the papers there?
831
00:54:33,729 --> 00:54:37,857
I don't see any. Surely you know what type
of insurance you carry on the car.
832
00:54:37,942 --> 00:54:39,442
The name of the company?
833
00:54:40,277 --> 00:54:41,486
Yeah, but, uh...
834
00:54:41,570 --> 00:54:43,321
Well, if you'll just tell me
the name of the company,
835
00:54:43,405 --> 00:54:45,114
I'd be very glad to take care
of all the details.
836
00:54:45,199 --> 00:54:46,324
Well...
837
00:54:46,408 --> 00:54:48,409
- Did you sign the papers yet?
- Not yet.
838
00:54:48,494 --> 00:54:50,536
Well, don't. We're not selling the car.
839
00:54:50,621 --> 00:54:52,538
- Well, wait a minute, Mrs. Haskell...
- Come on, darling.
840
00:54:52,623 --> 00:54:55,917
- What's the matter? Change your mind?
- Yes. I'm sorry. I guess I have.
841
00:54:56,001 --> 00:54:57,377
- But, Vera...
- Let's go.
842
00:55:03,384 --> 00:55:06,636
You got me out of a tight spot, Vera,
but I still don't understand all this.
843
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:09,722
You will in a minute.
I almost threw away a gold mine.
844
00:55:09,807 --> 00:55:13,726
1,850 isn't to be sneezed at. The car
doesn't book for as much as I thought.
845
00:55:13,811 --> 00:55:15,478
We're not selling the car.
846
00:55:15,562 --> 00:55:17,438
You want to keep it?
Now wait a minute, Vera.
847
00:55:17,523 --> 00:55:20,608
You said yourself I wouldn't be safe
until the car was in someone else's name.
848
00:55:20,693 --> 00:55:22,360
I'd like to be free of this mess
when I go.
849
00:55:22,444 --> 00:55:24,612
That's just it, Roberts. You're not going.
850
00:55:25,531 --> 00:55:27,365
- [sighs]
- There's a drive-in at the next corner.
851
00:55:27,449 --> 00:55:30,201
Pull in there and we'll get a bite to eat
and I'll explain.
852
00:55:30,285 --> 00:55:32,453
What is this,
another one of your brilliant ideas?
853
00:55:38,794 --> 00:55:41,671
- Hello. May I take your order?
- Make mine a ham sandwich and coffee.
854
00:55:41,755 --> 00:55:44,340
- And for you, sir?
- Oh, I don't care. The same.
855
00:55:46,510 --> 00:55:47,719
Thank you.
856
00:55:52,224 --> 00:55:55,226
Get this, Vera,
I've been pretty patient so far.
857
00:55:55,310 --> 00:55:57,311
I've done everything you asked me to do,
but no more.
858
00:55:57,396 --> 00:55:59,564
- Shut up.
- You've taken Haskell's money.
859
00:55:59,648 --> 00:56:01,524
And you can have the dough we get
from selling the car,
860
00:56:01,608 --> 00:56:03,192
but you're not gonna keep me a prisoner.
861
00:56:03,277 --> 00:56:05,069
It's a good thing I bought the paper.
Look at that.
862
00:56:05,154 --> 00:56:07,030
- Vera, I'm in no mood...
- Read that.
863
00:56:17,708 --> 00:56:19,292
- No.
- Yes.
864
00:56:19,376 --> 00:56:20,960
- No, I won't do it.
- Yes, you will.
865
00:56:21,045 --> 00:56:23,254
You think I'm crazy.
It's impossible, I tell ya.
866
00:56:24,131 --> 00:56:25,173
Excuse me.
867
00:56:30,637 --> 00:56:32,138
Blow the horn when you're through.
868
00:56:35,350 --> 00:56:38,561
No one could possibly get away with an act
like that. Be wise to me in a minute.
869
00:56:38,645 --> 00:56:39,812
Don't be yellow.
870
00:56:39,897 --> 00:56:42,690
You look enough like him.
The same coloring and the same build.
871
00:56:42,775 --> 00:56:44,358
See how his clothes fit ya?
872
00:56:44,443 --> 00:56:46,235
No kidding. You almost
had me fooled for a while.
873
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:47,528
Oh, grow up, Vera.
874
00:56:47,613 --> 00:56:50,406
Don't you think a father knows his own
son? There must be other relatives.
875
00:56:50,491 --> 00:56:53,326
The father won't have to know ya.
We'll wait till he gives up the ghost.
876
00:56:53,410 --> 00:56:55,411
He's an old geezer
and he won't pull through.
877
00:56:55,496 --> 00:56:59,373
And as far as the relatives are concerned,
they haven't seen you in 15 or 20 years.
878
00:57:00,876 --> 00:57:02,585
- Eat.
- I'm not hungry.
879
00:57:03,253 --> 00:57:06,130
- And I won't do it.
- It's not as tough as it sounds.
880
00:57:06,215 --> 00:57:08,049
Remember, you've got
all kinds of identification...
881
00:57:08,133 --> 00:57:09,133
his car, letters, license...
882
00:57:09,218 --> 00:57:11,761
I could never get away with it.
It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
883
00:57:11,845 --> 00:57:13,888
The old boy has scads of dough.
884
00:57:13,972 --> 00:57:17,141
Look in the paper there. Personal fortune
assessed at over 15 million.
885
00:57:17,226 --> 00:57:18,684
He'll leave plenty, I tell ya.
886
00:57:18,769 --> 00:57:20,937
Maybe he cut off his son.
How do we know?
887
00:57:21,021 --> 00:57:23,606
It's out, Vera.
I won't have anything to do with it.
888
00:57:24,817 --> 00:57:27,068
I think you will.
889
00:57:27,152 --> 00:57:30,696
Look, Vera, I'll do anything
within reason, but not that.
890
00:57:30,781 --> 00:57:32,698
So forget it or find yourself another stooge.
891
00:57:32,783 --> 00:57:34,033
You sap!
892
00:57:34,785 --> 00:57:36,911
You'll be fixed for the rest of your life
as Charlie Haskell.
893
00:57:36,995 --> 00:57:40,081
You can take your inheritance and go away.
No more worrying about the rent.
894
00:57:40,165 --> 00:57:42,291
No sweating, scheming, wondering
where your next meal's coming from!
895
00:57:42,376 --> 00:57:43,417
Think about that, Roberts!
896
00:57:43,502 --> 00:57:46,295
Vera, please. You're talking too loud.
897
00:57:46,713 --> 00:57:49,298
On this I'm splitting 50-50 with you.
Sure, why not?
898
00:57:49,383 --> 00:57:51,050
We're both alike.
Both born in the same gutter.
899
00:57:51,135 --> 00:57:52,301
Now take it easy, Vera.
900
00:57:52,386 --> 00:57:54,637
There's people around here.
You don't know what you're talking...
901
00:57:55,806 --> 00:57:59,684
We'll wait till we read that old man
Haskell's dead. Then you show up.
902
00:57:59,768 --> 00:58:02,061
Like you read in New York
that he was sick.
903
00:58:02,146 --> 00:58:04,772
No! Suppose he doesn't die?
904
00:58:04,857 --> 00:58:06,941
He will. I know he will.
Something tells me.
905
00:58:09,611 --> 00:58:12,405
[Al narrating] But as much as I insisted
I would have no part of her scheme,
906
00:58:12,489 --> 00:58:14,448
Vera was taking it for granted I would.
907
00:58:16,535 --> 00:58:19,954
Neither of us had our mind on the cards
as we played that night.
908
00:58:20,038 --> 00:58:23,207
I knew we were just trying to kill time
between newspaper editions.
909
00:58:24,042 --> 00:58:26,002
This was a deathwatch for Vera.
910
00:58:27,129 --> 00:58:28,713
Maybe it was for me too.
911
00:58:28,797 --> 00:58:32,383
Don't you realize if I'm caught they'll want
to know where I got the car and stuff?
912
00:58:32,467 --> 00:58:35,595
- Then they'll have me on a murder charge.
- If you're smart, you won't get caught.
913
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:37,054
I knock with seven.
914
00:58:37,139 --> 00:58:39,348
And if I'm caught,
don't you realize you'll be out too?
915
00:58:39,808 --> 00:58:42,935
Eighteen points. That gives me 30.
916
00:58:44,188 --> 00:58:45,438
How will I be out?
917
00:58:45,522 --> 00:58:47,982
You'll be out $1,850 we would have gotten
on the car.
918
00:58:48,066 --> 00:58:49,483
Really, Vera, you'd be an awful chump
919
00:58:49,568 --> 00:58:51,569
if you threw away all that dough
on a dizzy long shot.
920
00:58:51,653 --> 00:58:52,904
Let me sell the bus tomorrow.
921
00:58:52,988 --> 00:58:54,655
With the money it'll bring
and what you've already got,
922
00:58:54,740 --> 00:58:56,449
a clever kid like you
can run it up in no time.
923
00:58:56,533 --> 00:58:59,035
- Then we'd both be in the clear.
- I'll be in the clear anyway.
924
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:00,912
Maybe. Maybe.
925
00:59:00,996 --> 00:59:02,580
But if I got caught...
926
00:59:03,540 --> 00:59:06,083
- I'd get good and sore at you, you know.
- You mean you'd squeal?
927
00:59:06,168 --> 00:59:08,377
- Well, no, not squeal exactly...
- Never mind what you meant!
928
00:59:11,048 --> 00:59:14,425
Even if you did tell the cops
I was in on it with you,
929
00:59:14,509 --> 00:59:15,885
what could they do to me?
930
00:59:16,929 --> 00:59:19,347
They might give me the same medicine
they gave you.
931
00:59:19,431 --> 00:59:21,140
- Yeah.
- A rope.
932
00:59:23,644 --> 00:59:25,770
But I'm on my way anyhow.
933
00:59:27,731 --> 00:59:29,732
All they'll be doing will be rushing it.
934
00:59:30,359 --> 00:59:32,818
All right. But think of the 1,850 you'd lose.
935
00:59:32,903 --> 00:59:35,655
You'd kick yourself along the block
if you let that get away from you.
936
00:59:35,739 --> 00:59:38,658
I'll take the chance. Want another drink?
937
00:59:38,742 --> 00:59:41,744
You're being a goon. That's the way
people wind up behind the eight ball.
938
00:59:41,828 --> 00:59:44,330
Once they get a few dollars,
they become greedy and want more.
939
00:59:44,414 --> 00:59:45,706
My, my.
940
00:59:45,791 --> 00:59:46,791
- Caesar.
- Who?
941
00:59:46,875 --> 00:59:49,585
You know, that Roman general?
He got his for being greedy.
942
00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:52,838
He wasn't satisfied.
So the final windup was he took the count.
943
00:59:52,923 --> 00:59:55,299
A couple of days ago you didn't have a dime.
944
00:59:55,384 --> 00:59:58,219
Why, you were so broke
you couldn't pay cash for a postage stamp.
945
00:59:58,303 --> 01:00:01,347
Now you've got almost $700,
with 1,850 in the offing.
946
01:00:01,431 --> 01:00:03,099
Take my advice. Don't try for more.
947
01:00:03,183 --> 01:00:05,768
I'm tired of this game.
Let's have some blackjack.
948
01:00:05,852 --> 01:00:06,686
Play solitaire.
949
01:00:06,770 --> 01:00:09,313
- I will, if that's the way you feel about it.
- That's the way I feel about it.
950
01:00:09,398 --> 01:00:11,607
Getting sore and throwing things
won't help much, Roberts.
951
01:00:11,692 --> 01:00:15,111
I'm merely doing you a favor. I help you out of
a jam by keepin' my mouth shut.
952
01:00:15,195 --> 01:00:18,072
I show you how to make some soft money,
and what thanks do I get?
953
01:00:18,156 --> 01:00:19,156
- Thanks?
- Sure.
954
01:00:19,241 --> 01:00:21,659
Or would you rather I called the cops and told
them you killed a man and stole his money?
955
01:00:21,743 --> 01:00:22,827
- I didn't kill anybody.
- Yes, you did.
956
01:00:22,911 --> 01:00:25,705
- No, I didn't. You know I didn't.
- All right, then.
957
01:00:28,542 --> 01:00:30,251
Suppose I call the cops?
958
01:00:30,335 --> 01:00:32,920
If you're innocent,
what do you got to be scared of?
959
01:00:33,005 --> 01:00:36,590
Okay, call 'em, you mutt. Go ahead and call 'em.
See if I care.
960
01:00:36,675 --> 01:00:39,552
- At least they'll give me a square deal.
- You want me to call 'em?
961
01:00:39,636 --> 01:00:43,597
You heard me. But I'm warning ya.
If I'm pinched, I'll swear you were in on it.
962
01:00:43,682 --> 01:00:46,976
I'll say that you helped me.
If I'm frying, I'll get even with you.
963
01:00:47,060 --> 01:00:48,686
You wouldn't dare. You're chicken!
964
01:00:48,770 --> 01:00:52,815
Yeah? Then try it and see.
Call 'em. Yeah.
965
01:00:53,650 --> 01:00:55,067
Okay, I will.
966
01:00:57,112 --> 01:01:00,489
[dialing]
967
01:01:07,706 --> 01:01:09,915
Information.
968
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,835
I want the number
of the Hollywood police station.
969
01:01:14,713 --> 01:01:16,756
Okay, I got it. Thanks.
970
01:01:17,966 --> 01:01:19,592
[phone hook clicks]
971
01:01:19,676 --> 01:01:21,677
- [dialing]
- Wait a minute, Vera. You wouldn't do that.
972
01:01:21,762 --> 01:01:23,721
Oh, wouldn't I? Give me that
and I'll show you if I would!
973
01:01:23,805 --> 01:01:25,681
Take it easy now. Let's talk this over.
974
01:01:25,766 --> 01:01:27,558
[Al narrating]
This was early in the evening.
975
01:01:27,642 --> 01:01:32,146
And the conversation, while hectic,
was at least pitched low.
976
01:01:32,230 --> 01:01:36,776
But as the minutes passed and more obstacles
to her plan popped into my head,
977
01:01:36,860 --> 01:01:38,486
the air got blue.
978
01:01:38,570 --> 01:01:41,822
Each word coming from our lips
cracked like a whip.
979
01:01:41,907 --> 01:01:45,785
I reminded her that as Charles Haskell
I didn't even know my mother's name,
980
01:01:45,869 --> 01:01:47,578
where I'd gone to school,
981
01:01:47,662 --> 01:01:49,413
the name of my best friend,
982
01:01:49,498 --> 01:01:51,415
whether I had an Aunt Emma or not,
983
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:54,794
my religion, and if I'd ever owned a dog.
984
01:01:54,878 --> 01:01:57,463
I didn't even know
what my middle initial stood for.
985
01:01:57,547 --> 01:02:00,925
I also pointed out that the real Haskell
had a scar on his forearm.
986
01:02:01,510 --> 01:02:03,302
His people never saw that scar.
987
01:02:03,387 --> 01:02:05,596
He told me he ran away
right after putting out the kid's eye.
988
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,140
Yeah, but his father knew he was cut.
There'd have to be some kind of mark.
989
01:02:08,225 --> 01:02:10,434
So what?
990
01:02:10,519 --> 01:02:14,438
The old man's dead or will be.
I hope by tomorrow morning's papers.
991
01:02:14,523 --> 01:02:18,025
Anyway, you could cut yourself
a little, couldn't ya?
992
01:02:19,027 --> 01:02:22,321
Boy, for that kind of dough,
I'd let you cut my leg off.
993
01:02:22,406 --> 01:02:23,989
You're drunk and you're crazy mad, Vera.
994
01:02:24,074 --> 01:02:26,033
Turn me in if you want to,
but I won't get mixed up in this.
995
01:02:26,118 --> 01:02:28,160
Besides, how do we know?
Haskell was such a phony.
996
01:02:28,245 --> 01:02:30,371
Maybe he wasn't the man's son at all.
Maybe he just dreamed it up.
997
01:02:30,455 --> 01:02:35,918
Well, dreaming or not, you won't be dreaming
when the law taps you on the shoulder.
998
01:02:36,002 --> 01:02:39,588
There's a cute little gas chamber
waiting for you, Roberts.
999
01:02:39,673 --> 01:02:43,134
And I hear extradition to Arizona's a cinch.
1000
01:02:43,218 --> 01:02:45,052
Where's that phone?
1001
01:02:45,137 --> 01:02:46,512
- Vera.
- Leave me alone!
1002
01:02:46,596 --> 01:02:50,057
- Vera!
- I wanna phone, call the police.
1003
01:02:50,767 --> 01:02:54,812
I hate you, you stinker.
You leave me alone!
1004
01:02:54,896 --> 01:02:57,106
I'll let you alone when you promise to leave
the phone where it is.
1005
01:02:57,190 --> 01:02:59,150
- You're drunk. You don't know what you're doing.
- You're hurting me.
1006
01:02:59,234 --> 01:03:00,860
Will you promise?
1007
01:03:00,944 --> 01:03:02,528
All right.
1008
01:03:07,492 --> 01:03:10,327
- You hurt me.
- I'm sorry, but...
1009
01:03:10,412 --> 01:03:13,372
- And it's hot in here! Open up a window!
- It's not hot!
1010
01:03:13,457 --> 01:03:16,125
Don't tell me!
Now do you do it or do I do it?
1011
01:03:18,086 --> 01:03:19,837
You're no gentleman, see?
1012
01:03:19,921 --> 01:03:23,299
Yeah. All right, I'll open up the window.
1013
01:03:26,428 --> 01:03:27,511
Vera!
1014
01:03:31,892 --> 01:03:34,643
Vera, open the door.
Please open the door.
1015
01:03:34,728 --> 01:03:36,854
Vera, open the door.
Don't use the phone. Listen to me.
1016
01:03:37,522 --> 01:03:40,983
I don't like you, Roberts.
You're no gentleman, see?
1017
01:03:41,067 --> 01:03:45,154
You hurt my hand,
and I'm gonna get even with you.
1018
01:03:45,238 --> 01:03:48,407
If you don't open the door,
I'm gonna kick it down, Vera.
1019
01:03:48,492 --> 01:03:51,368
Vera, don't call the cops.
Listen to me, I'll do anything you say.
1020
01:03:52,287 --> 01:03:53,746
Vera, let me in!
1021
01:03:55,207 --> 01:03:56,665
I'll break the phone!
1022
01:04:14,267 --> 01:04:17,269
[grunting]
1023
01:04:22,609 --> 01:04:23,943
Vera.
1024
01:04:34,579 --> 01:04:36,539
[Al narrating] The world is full of skeptics.
1025
01:04:37,290 --> 01:04:39,667
I know. I'm one myself.
1026
01:04:40,669 --> 01:04:43,712
In the Haskell business, how many of you
would believe he fell out of the car?
1027
01:04:43,797 --> 01:04:46,173
And now, after killing Vera
without really meaning to do it,
1028
01:04:46,258 --> 01:04:48,676
how many of you would believe
it wasn't premeditated?
1029
01:04:49,719 --> 01:04:53,264
In a jury room, every last man of you
would go down shouting
1030
01:04:53,348 --> 01:04:56,058
that she had me over a barrel
and my only out was force.
1031
01:04:58,103 --> 01:04:59,728
The room was still.
1032
01:05:00,730 --> 01:05:03,691
So quiet that for a while I'd wondered
if I'd suddenly gone deaf.
1033
01:05:04,484 --> 01:05:06,235
It was pure fear, of course.
1034
01:05:06,319 --> 01:05:08,195
And I was hysterical,
1035
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:09,989
but without making a sound.
1036
01:05:11,324 --> 01:05:14,285
Vera was dead, and I was her murderer.
1037
01:05:15,370 --> 01:05:19,873
Murderer. What an awful word that is.
But I'd become one.
1038
01:05:19,958 --> 01:05:22,042
I'd better not get caught.
1039
01:05:22,127 --> 01:05:24,628
What evidence there was around the place
had to be destroyed.
1040
01:05:24,713 --> 01:05:26,505
And from the looks of things, there was plenty.
1041
01:05:26,590 --> 01:05:28,299
Looking around the room at things we'd bought
1042
01:05:28,383 --> 01:05:30,801
was like looking into the faces of
a hundred people who'd seen us together
1043
01:05:30,885 --> 01:05:32,803
and who remembered me.
1044
01:05:32,887 --> 01:05:35,306
This was the kind of testimony
I couldn't rub out.
1045
01:05:36,808 --> 01:05:38,058
No.
1046
01:05:38,143 --> 01:05:41,312
I could burn clothes and hide bottles
for the next five years.
1047
01:05:41,396 --> 01:05:42,855
There'd always be witnesses.
1048
01:05:42,939 --> 01:05:44,732
The landlady for one.
She could identify me.
1049
01:05:44,816 --> 01:05:46,233
The car dealer, the waitress in the drive-in,
1050
01:05:46,318 --> 01:05:48,819
the girl in the dress shop,
and that guy in the liquor store.
1051
01:05:48,903 --> 01:05:50,696
They could all identify me.
1052
01:05:52,032 --> 01:05:55,868
I was cooked. Done for.
I had to get out of there.
1053
01:05:57,203 --> 01:05:59,330
While once I remained beside a dead body
1054
01:05:59,414 --> 01:06:02,416
planning carefully how to avoid
being accused of killing him,
1055
01:06:02,500 --> 01:06:04,752
this time I couldn't.
1056
01:06:04,836 --> 01:06:06,503
This time I was guilty.
1057
01:06:07,422 --> 01:06:09,923
I knew it. Felt it.
1058
01:06:10,967 --> 01:06:13,218
I was like a guy suffering from shock.
1059
01:06:13,303 --> 01:06:14,970
Things were whirling around in my head.
1060
01:06:15,055 --> 01:06:17,890
I couldn't make myself think right.
1061
01:06:17,974 --> 01:06:21,435
All I could think of was the guy with
the saxophone and what he was playing.
1062
01:06:22,437 --> 01:06:24,021
It wasn't a love song anymore.
1063
01:06:24,814 --> 01:06:26,565
It was a dirge.
1064
01:07:12,028 --> 01:07:14,113
[jukebox: up-tempo band music]
1065
01:07:14,197 --> 01:07:16,615
[Al narrating]
But my problems weren't solved.
1066
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:19,493
I had to stay away from New York
for all time.
1067
01:07:20,328 --> 01:07:23,622
Because Al Roberts was listed as dead
and had to stay dead.
1068
01:07:24,332 --> 01:07:25,999
And I could never go back to Hollywood.
1069
01:07:26,835 --> 01:07:28,794
Someone might recognize me as Haskell.
1070
01:07:30,130 --> 01:07:33,048
- Then, too, there was Sue.
- [music stops]
1071
01:07:34,467 --> 01:07:37,803
I could never go to her with a thing
like this hanging over my head.
1072
01:07:39,180 --> 01:07:42,474
All I could do was pray she'd be happy.
1073
01:07:53,486 --> 01:07:57,656
I was in Bakersfield before I read
that Vera's body was discovered.
1074
01:07:57,741 --> 01:08:01,368
And that the police were looking for Haskell
in connection with his wife's murder.
1075
01:08:02,871 --> 01:08:04,413
Isn't that a laugh?
1076
01:08:05,081 --> 01:08:09,001
Haskell got me into this mess
and Haskell was getting me out of it.
1077
01:08:09,085 --> 01:08:11,170
The police were searching for a dead man.
1078
01:08:14,674 --> 01:08:16,884
I keep trying to forget what happened...
1079
01:08:18,261 --> 01:08:22,973
and wonder what my life might have been
if that car of Haskell's hadn't stopped.
1080
01:08:24,768 --> 01:08:26,935
But one thing I don't have to wonder about.
1081
01:08:28,146 --> 01:08:29,605
I know.
1082
01:08:31,107 --> 01:08:34,234
Someday a car will stop to pick me up
that I never thumbed.
1083
01:08:38,990 --> 01:08:39,865
Yes.
1084
01:08:40,742 --> 01:08:44,411
Fate... or some mysterious force
1085
01:08:44,496 --> 01:08:47,414
can put the finger on you or me
1086
01:08:47,499 --> 01:08:49,500
for no good reason at all.

Al Roberts, an unemployed piano player, hitches a ride, arriving at a roadside diner in Reno, Nevada. Another customer in the diner plays a song on the jukebox that disturbs Al, for it reminds him of his former life in New York City.
Al recalls a time there when he was bitter about squandering his musical talent playing in a cheap nightclub. After his girlfriend Sue Harvey, the nightclub's lead singer, quits her job and leaves New York to seek fame in Hollywood, Al becomes depressed. After anguishing a while, Al decides to travel to California to marry Sue. With little money to his name, Al is forced to hitchhike across the country.
In Arizona, bookie Charles Haskell Jr. gives Al a ride in his convertible and tells him that he is in luck, for he is driving to Los Angeles to place a bet on a horse. During the drive, he has Al pass him his pills on several occasions, which he swallows as he drives. That night, Al drives while Haskell sleeps. When a rainstorm forces Al to pull over to put up the convertible's top, he is unable to rouse Haskell. Al opens the passenger-side door and Haskell tumbles out, falling to the ground and striking his head on a rock.
Al realizes the bookie is dead. It is likely that Haskell died earlier from a heart attack, but Al is certain that if he calls the police, they will arrest him for killing Haskell, so Al hides the body in the brush. He takes the dead man's money, clothes, and identification, and drives away, intent on abandoning the car near Los Angeles.
Al crosses into California and spends a night in a motel. The next day, as he leaves a gas station near Desert Center Airport, he picks up a hitchhiker, who gives her name as Vera. At first, she travels silently with Al, who has identified himself as Haskell, but suddenly challenges his identity and ownership of the car, revealing that she had been picked up by Haskell earlier in Louisiana, but got out in Arizona after he tried to force himself on her. Al tells her how Haskell died, but she blackmails him by threatening to turn him over to the police. She takes the cash that Al retrieved from Haskell's wallet and demands whatever money they get by selling the car.
In Hollywood, they rent an apartment, posing as Mr. and Mrs. Haskell, to provide an address when they sell the car. When they are about to make the sale, Vera learns from a local newspaper that Haskell's wealthy father is near death and a search is under way for his long-estranged son. Vera demands that Al impersonate Haskell and position himself to inherit the estate. Al refuses, arguing that the impersonation would require detailed knowledge he lacks.
Back at the apartment, Vera gets drunk and they begin arguing intensely. In a drunken rage, she threatens to call the police and runs into the bedroom with the telephone. She locks the door then falls on the bed and begins to fall asleep, the telephone cord tangled around her neck. From the other side of the door, Al pulls on the cord to try to disconnect the phone. When he breaks down the door, he discovers he has inadvertently strangled Vera.
Al gives up the idea of contacting Sue again and returns to hitchhiking. He later finds out that Haskell is wanted in connection with the murder of "his wife." Back in the diner in Reno where the film opened, he imagines his inevitable arrest.

1
00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556
This is the Letterman General Hosiptal
at San Francisco, California.
2
00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219
For those outside these gates the
war is over, a thing of the past.
3
00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888
For those behind these gates there's a
grim, hard, bitter fight still going on.
4
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518
Take one case, the case
of Eddie Rice, age 33.
5
00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206
Enlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.
Holder of the Silver Star, but today...
6
00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026
A name and date number, a medical file.
For five years a chart on a hospital bed.
7
00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340
A victim of amnesia.
A mind with a blocked out past.
8
00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127
Where were you born, Eddie?
Who are your parents?
9
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912
Any brothers? Sisters?
10
00:01:54,277 --> 00:01:58,775
Where did you go to school?
What's your trade? Profession?
11
00:01:59,433 --> 00:02:01,748
Are you rich?
Poor?
12
00:02:02,051 --> 00:02:03,689
Got a girl?
13
00:02:03,915 --> 00:02:05,289
Married?
14
00:02:05,349 --> 00:02:06,869
I don't know.
15
00:02:07,378 --> 00:02:09,015
I don't know!
16
00:02:09,824 --> 00:02:11,537
I can't remember.
17
00:02:12,444 --> 00:02:14,571
I just can't remember, doctor.
18
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:30,922
You had me open. What did you quit for?
-We did the best we could, Eddie.
19
00:02:31,218 --> 00:02:33,439
It'll just have to stay there.
20
00:02:34,606 --> 00:02:38,483
Is that final?
-Unless you want your name on a headstone.
21
00:02:38,543 --> 00:02:43,592
That shrapnel's too deep in your brain.
Scar tissue has grown all around it.
22
00:02:43,652 --> 00:02:46,980
Believe me, we tried.
-Yeah, I guess you did.
23
00:02:48,391 --> 00:02:52,551
Where do I go from here?
-Eddie, there are two kinds of amnesia:
24
00:02:52,611 --> 00:02:54,895
psychological and organic.
25
00:02:55,178 --> 00:03:00,240
The psychological form is temporary, but
it can be cured through psychotherapy.
26
00:03:01,016 --> 00:03:03,876
Yours is organic, it's permanent.
27
00:03:04,347 --> 00:03:07,772
That piece of steel in your brain
has blocked out your memory.
28
00:03:07,832 --> 00:03:10,863
Which doesn't leave me much
of a future, does it?
29
00:03:10,923 --> 00:03:15,071
Of course it does, physically
you're normal and healthy.
30
00:03:15,131 --> 00:03:17,771
You've received the maximum
medical benefits
31
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:22,559
You've completed training courses that make
you fit to hold down a job and face life.
32
00:03:23,499 --> 00:03:26,540
With no address, no next
of kin, nothing.
33
00:03:27,489 --> 00:03:29,567
Enlisted from Los Angeles...
34
00:03:29,627 --> 00:03:32,397
Intelligence ran that down
for us, remember?
35
00:03:32,867 --> 00:03:35,818
Oh sure, there were a lot of
people named Rice there...
36
00:03:36,026 --> 00:03:37,682
but not this Eddie Rice.
37
00:03:37,742 --> 00:03:41,777
But, Army Intelligence didn't mow
Los Angeles lawns as a kid, Eddie.
38
00:03:41,837 --> 00:03:44,292
They didn't trade at the corner market.
39
00:03:44,352 --> 00:03:48,775
They didn't work with people in a factory,
in an office, as you might have done.
40
00:03:48,986 --> 00:03:50,136
Now...
41
00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:54,081
If you went down there...and ran
into somebody who knew you,
42
00:03:54,141 --> 00:03:55,918
just one person...
43
00:03:56,384 --> 00:03:57,694
Yes...
44
00:03:58,992 --> 00:04:01,702
If I ran into just one person
who knew me.
45
00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:03,689
One guy...
46
00:04:04,785 --> 00:04:07,149
Who would come up to me and say:
47
00:04:07,616 --> 00:04:08,775
"Eddie."
48
00:04:08,986 --> 00:04:10,491
"Eddie Rice."
49
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:12,253
"How have you been?"
50
00:04:12,581 --> 00:04:14,132
"Where have you been?"
51
00:04:14,192 --> 00:04:15,577
That's it, Eddie.
52
00:04:15,637 --> 00:04:18,766
And then, they'd tell me about
someone else I used to know.
53
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:21,626
And, I'd meet somebody else.
54
00:04:22,635 --> 00:04:24,141
And another...
55
00:04:25,342 --> 00:04:26,908
And another...
56
00:04:57,774 --> 00:05:00,996
<i>Sure, it scares you to go out into
a world you don't remember...</i>
57
00:05:01,484 --> 00:05:02,959
<i>but you're here now.</i>
58
00:05:03,742 --> 00:05:05,473
<i>It'll be a new life.</i>
59
00:05:05,805 --> 00:05:07,295
<i>A new start.</i>
60
00:05:08,231 --> 00:05:10,189
<i>Find yourself a place to live.</i>
61
00:05:10,957 --> 00:05:12,613
<i>Get yourself a job.</i>
62
00:05:13,290 --> 00:05:14,540
<i>Get going.</i>
63
00:05:15,353 --> 00:05:16,919
<i>Get going, Eddie!</i>
64
00:05:19,198 --> 00:05:20,357
Eddie!
65
00:05:20,417 --> 00:05:22,736
You know, it's a small world, Eddie.
66
00:05:22,796 --> 00:05:25,266
We came down here to pick
up a little of one thing,
67
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:28,650
and we ran into a little of another!
-A lot of us thought you were dead.
68
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:32,851
Yes, and...those that didn't hoped you
were. What are you doing in town?
69
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,642
I'm just in from San Francisco.
70
00:05:36,702 --> 00:05:40,060
I didn't ask you that.
-He asked you what you were doing in town.
71
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,354
I cam here to look up some...people.
72
00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:45,989
Funny, I...I had a feeling that was it.
73
00:05:46,049 --> 00:05:48,443
Anderson one of them?
-Anderson?
74
00:05:49,719 --> 00:05:50,698
Maybe.
75
00:05:50,758 --> 00:05:54,251
I think you're lying, Eddie. I don't think you
were gonna look up Anderson at all.
76
00:05:54,311 --> 00:05:57,458
Barrett, do you think he was gonna
look up Anderson? -No, Joe.
77
00:05:57,699 --> 00:06:00,108
Not Anderson.
-I'll tell you what...
78
00:06:00,168 --> 00:06:02,737
I got a car and nothing
to do for a while...
79
00:06:02,797 --> 00:06:05,478
Let's go see Anderson together.
Any objections?
80
00:06:07,616 --> 00:06:09,016
No objections.
81
00:06:09,076 --> 00:06:11,256
Stick around, Kelly may still show.
82
00:06:11,452 --> 00:06:12,506
Let's go.
83
00:06:35,122 --> 00:06:37,667
'Honorable discharge of Edward Rice.'
84
00:06:41,972 --> 00:06:43,568
What's the gimmick?
85
00:06:44,110 --> 00:06:46,399
If you'd put away your blackjacks
long enough
86
00:06:46,459 --> 00:06:48,431
maybe I could get it through
your heads that...
87
00:06:48,491 --> 00:06:50,714
I don't know what you're talking about.
88
00:06:50,774 --> 00:06:52,912
You got yourself a sense
of humor, Eddie.
89
00:06:52,972 --> 00:06:56,010
You think you come back here with
a dumb look and a Silver Star...
90
00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:58,958
That changes a no good heel?
-But, I'm trying to tell you that...
91
00:06:59,018 --> 00:07:01,382
You don't have to tell us
anything about yourself.
92
00:07:01,442 --> 00:07:03,881
We got it all down in black and white.
93
00:07:06,019 --> 00:07:07,630
Read it, Riccardi.
94
00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:09,313
We didn't dream it up.
95
00:07:09,795 --> 00:07:12,355
Possession of a weapon
with intent to kill.
96
00:07:12,882 --> 00:07:14,553
Suspicion of murder.
97
00:07:17,184 --> 00:07:18,566
<i>Riccardi...</i>
98
00:07:19,274 --> 00:07:20,960
<i>Eddie Riccardi.</i>
99
00:07:21,638 --> 00:07:25,236
<i>That's not me, it can't be.
It only looks like me!</i>
100
00:07:26,348 --> 00:07:29,103
<i>I better get out of here!
I've got to get out!</i>
101
00:07:29,163 --> 00:07:33,093
Five years ago we hustled you out of town,
for good. Now what are you here for?
102
00:07:34,253 --> 00:07:35,939
<i>You've got to play ball.</i>
103
00:07:35,999 --> 00:07:39,153
<i>You need time. You need more
time to find out about yourself.</i>
104
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,894
Riccardi's just playing dumb, Captain.
105
00:07:42,556 --> 00:07:44,122
Put him in the lockup.
106
00:07:44,498 --> 00:07:47,085
I'm finding about these...
discharge papers.
107
00:07:47,145 --> 00:07:49,358
If they're phonies, we'll pin a
real one on him.
108
00:07:49,418 --> 00:07:50,999
Just a minute, Lieutenant.
109
00:07:52,426 --> 00:07:56,627
I guess, maybe I didn't want the army
to know about Eddie...Riccardi.
110
00:07:57,317 --> 00:08:00,133
The only friends I have
know me as Eddie Rice.
111
00:08:00,916 --> 00:08:02,813
I'd like to keep it that way.
112
00:08:03,219 --> 00:08:05,945
That's probably the first honest
thing you've ever said.
113
00:08:06,005 --> 00:08:07,537
Pick up your things.
114
00:08:10,967 --> 00:08:14,008
Be Eddie Rice in some other
town, but not here.
115
00:08:14,068 --> 00:08:18,540
Now, we can't hold you, but...you step
out of line once and we step on you.
116
00:08:26,034 --> 00:08:28,278
Notice anything different
about him, Williams?
117
00:08:28,338 --> 00:08:31,138
Nothing! If Riccardi stays in town
there's gonna be trouble.
118
00:08:31,198 --> 00:08:34,210
I don't know. He had a strange
look about him.
119
00:08:34,667 --> 00:08:37,934
Send to Washington for a complete
report on Edward Rice.
120
00:08:37,994 --> 00:08:40,870
That Silver Star, you really
do something to get one.
121
00:08:40,930 --> 00:08:43,686
Yeah, buy it in a pawn
shop for two bits.
122
00:09:01,270 --> 00:09:04,944
Nina, my sweet!
My beautiful, lovely...
123
00:09:05,004 --> 00:09:07,609
All right, Nick! Let's keep
it all business.
124
00:09:10,063 --> 00:09:13,240
Who is it this time?
-Petey. Suspicion of robbery.
125
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:16,251
Get him out before they start
shifting him around. -Petey?
126
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:17,588
Him?
127
00:09:17,648 --> 00:09:19,726
He wouldn't steal his own shadow.
128
00:09:19,786 --> 00:09:22,056
That was William's gag to get
him out of the way.
129
00:09:22,116 --> 00:09:25,670
I wouldn't know. Bail's $1000.
-Inflation!
130
00:09:25,730 --> 00:09:27,823
That's the whole trouble these days.
131
00:09:28,847 --> 00:09:30,714
Alexander, he unhappy?
132
00:09:31,252 --> 00:09:34,188
Nick. Keep your mind on your business.
133
00:09:34,248 --> 00:09:36,233
Let Vince worry about his, huh?
134
00:09:36,293 --> 00:09:39,259
Sure, beautiful Sure.
Forget I mentioned it.
135
00:09:53,907 --> 00:09:55,970
Take my advice, you leave town.
136
00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:57,837
I've got things to do.
137
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,125
Adios, boy! You're on your own.
138
00:10:04,466 --> 00:10:05,941
Kelly never showed.
139
00:10:06,001 --> 00:10:07,071
Odd.
140
00:10:07,131 --> 00:10:08,606
We'll hear from him.
141
00:10:18,132 --> 00:10:20,074
One of the usual fronts?
142
00:10:21,098 --> 00:10:24,064
You have a lot of Jane Does, Nick.
Use one of them.
143
00:10:26,732 --> 00:10:28,328
Of course, there's a big difference
144
00:10:28,388 --> 00:10:30,617
between the Florida oranges
and the California oranges.
145
00:10:30,677 --> 00:10:33,131
At least that's what the Chamber
of Commerce in Florida says.
146
00:10:33,191 --> 00:10:35,661
And the Chamber of Commerce
in California says...
147
00:10:35,872 --> 00:10:37,874
Orange juice, please.
-Yes, ma'am.
148
00:10:41,153 --> 00:10:42,388
Eddie.
149
00:10:44,691 --> 00:10:47,281
I thought it was you from
across the street.
150
00:10:48,856 --> 00:10:49,940
Hello.
151
00:10:51,204 --> 00:10:53,794
Is that the only thing
you've got to say?
152
00:10:54,110 --> 00:10:56,640
Well, there's a lot more
I could say, but...
153
00:10:57,107 --> 00:10:58,311
but you...
154
00:10:59,299 --> 00:11:00,609
Let's see...
155
00:11:01,814 --> 00:11:03,425
Nacy Morgan?
156
00:11:03,711 --> 00:11:05,051
Nora Murphy?
157
00:11:05,292 --> 00:11:09,176
No, you don't look like Nora Murphy.
-What'd you come back for, Eddie?
158
00:11:10,216 --> 00:11:12,610
A man has a right to come
home, hasn't he?
159
00:11:14,552 --> 00:11:17,699
My car is across the street,
I'll take you there.
160
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:18,994
Sure!
161
00:11:19,175 --> 00:11:20,228
Thanks.
162
00:11:45,318 --> 00:11:47,089
Vince know you're back?
163
00:11:47,149 --> 00:11:48,360
Vince?
164
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,025
Should he?
165
00:11:51,762 --> 00:11:53,419
You oughta know.
166
00:12:02,797 --> 00:12:04,499
Thanks for the lift.
167
00:12:07,503 --> 00:12:08,828
Coming in?
168
00:12:09,264 --> 00:12:11,447
Who said this was the end of the road?
169
00:12:12,833 --> 00:12:15,091
Who's complaining? Not me.
170
00:12:40,205 --> 00:12:41,530
Checking in?
171
00:12:41,771 --> 00:12:42,870
Long?
172
00:12:44,466 --> 00:12:45,896
I don't know yet.
173
00:12:46,739 --> 00:12:48,019
Alone?
174
00:12:48,648 --> 00:12:49,672
Yes.
175
00:12:52,517 --> 00:12:55,393
Edward Rice...San Francisco.
176
00:12:58,702 --> 00:13:00,042
304.
177
00:13:03,234 --> 00:13:06,757
I'll throw the stuff in the room and
be right back. -If you say so.
178
00:13:29,744 --> 00:13:32,665
Hello? hello, this is Nina.
I want to talk to Vince.
179
00:13:32,725 --> 00:13:33,885
He's busy.
180
00:13:33,945 --> 00:13:36,203
Not too busy for what
I've got to tell him.
181
00:13:36,263 --> 00:13:37,479
<i>He's not here.</i>
182
00:13:37,539 --> 00:13:41,379
Look, let's not keep where he is a
secret it might upset your whole future.
183
00:13:41,439 --> 00:13:42,945
Put me through to him!
184
00:13:55,033 --> 00:13:56,719
You talk too much.
185
00:13:57,397 --> 00:13:59,189
Another treatment, Kelly?
186
00:14:00,453 --> 00:14:01,603
Any...
187
00:14:02,265 --> 00:14:04,750
Any second...breaks, Vince?
188
00:14:06,993 --> 00:14:09,176
I'm easy to do business with.
189
00:14:10,165 --> 00:14:11,520
If you talk...
190
00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:12,830
you live.
191
00:14:14,034 --> 00:14:16,865
All i want to hear is your
angle with Joe Williams.
192
00:14:19,271 --> 00:14:22,463
Give him a cigarette, Danny.
It'll relax him.
193
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:30,609
I'm...trusting you, Vince.
194
00:14:30,834 --> 00:14:32,792
Sure. Sure, Kelly.
195
00:14:33,474 --> 00:14:35,612
I told you we'd turn you loose.
196
00:14:35,672 --> 00:14:37,388
You understand how I...
197
00:14:37,569 --> 00:14:40,942
How a guy feels when he's been
kicked out of the organization?
198
00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:43,633
I know...
199
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:47,533
I shouldn't of been a sucker and
told Williams about the...
200
00:14:48,253 --> 00:14:50,828
...about the silver dollar.
-Forget that.
201
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,915
What did you tell him about this?
-Nothing!
202
00:14:56,455 --> 00:14:58,201
Nothing much, really.
203
00:14:59,044 --> 00:15:01,755
Vince!
-What did you tell him, Kelly?
204
00:15:01,815 --> 00:15:03,185
Really, Vince...
205
00:15:03,381 --> 00:15:04,931
Nothing important.
206
00:15:05,688 --> 00:15:06,757
Just...
207
00:15:07,178 --> 00:15:08,970
a little of this and...
208
00:15:09,527 --> 00:15:11,304
that about the...
209
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,532
about the slot machines and...
210
00:15:14,315 --> 00:15:16,333
and the take. But, I...
211
00:15:16,787 --> 00:15:18,564
I phonied the figures.
212
00:15:19,403 --> 00:15:22,550
Honest I did.
-These figures aren't phoney.
213
00:15:22,836 --> 00:15:24,447
Where'd you get 'em?
214
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,684
Snatched them out of your safe, Vince.
215
00:15:31,219 --> 00:15:33,192
Williams is waiting for 'em.
216
00:15:33,535 --> 00:15:37,359
He was going to bundle me out of town,
bring me back for the trial.
217
00:15:38,696 --> 00:15:42,083
But, I was gonna duck.
They never would of found me.
218
00:15:44,568 --> 00:15:46,480
That's the truth, Vince!
219
00:15:54,771 --> 00:15:56,021
Hello.
220
00:15:56,788 --> 00:15:58,264
Hello, Nina.
221
00:16:02,956 --> 00:16:05,242
You sure it's him?
-I was with him!
222
00:16:05,302 --> 00:16:08,524
First I saw him outside police
headquarters talking to Joe Williams,
223
00:16:08,584 --> 00:16:10,466
then I drove him to the Cortez.
224
00:16:10,689 --> 00:16:14,362
He cked in under the name
of Eddie Rice, room 304.
225
00:16:14,422 --> 00:16:15,552
Thanks.
226
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:37,164
You still want to take that trip, Kelly?
227
00:16:39,317 --> 00:16:41,560
You don't have to worry about me, Vince.
228
00:16:42,019 --> 00:16:43,028
Don.
229
00:16:44,194 --> 00:16:45,820
Big mouth Kelly.
230
00:16:46,257 --> 00:16:48,832
You think what he's got
may be contagious?
231
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:50,563
Very...catchy.
232
00:16:51,562 --> 00:16:54,648
What's your opinion, Don?
-Very, definitely.
233
00:16:56,621 --> 00:16:58,283
What can I do?
234
00:16:59,322 --> 00:17:01,686
The consultation's in agreement.
235
00:17:04,595 --> 00:17:05,769
Kelly!
236
00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:07,380
You're dead!
237
00:17:09,097 --> 00:17:10,527
Oh, and Kelly...
238
00:17:10,774 --> 00:17:14,749
When you get to where you're going,
have 'em give you a nice, even burn.
239
00:17:14,809 --> 00:17:17,579
Don't let them just fry you on one side.
240
00:18:01,054 --> 00:18:05,210
I'm sorry to bother you again, but..
has there been any sign of the girl yet?
241
00:18:07,876 --> 00:18:09,051
Thanks.
242
00:18:40,394 --> 00:18:42,743
Don't you believe in knocking on doors?
243
00:18:43,857 --> 00:18:45,814
Who are you? What do you want?
244
00:19:00,538 --> 00:19:02,661
So, that's where you've been hold up...
245
00:19:02,932 --> 00:19:04,498
Eddie Rice!
246
00:19:05,181 --> 00:19:08,990
No wonder I couldn't get a line on you.
Are you back sightseeing?
247
00:19:09,378 --> 00:19:10,854
Mr Rice?
248
00:19:13,052 --> 00:19:15,326
This supposed to be a free country?
249
00:19:15,684 --> 00:19:17,250
Free town?
250
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:18,951
Open to anyone?
251
00:19:19,011 --> 00:19:20,366
Not with me in it.
252
00:19:20,635 --> 00:19:23,240
You didn't waste much time
picking up with the cops.
253
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:27,395
Why should it worry you about
me talking to Williams?
254
00:19:27,455 --> 00:19:29,274
You've got me confused, Eddie.
255
00:19:29,771 --> 00:19:33,460
Only a sucker would walk back in
town after the deal you pulled.
256
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,979
Some things a fella has to...
257
00:19:37,401 --> 00:19:39,102
find out for himself.
258
00:19:40,096 --> 00:19:41,948
Not about you and me.
259
00:19:50,768 --> 00:19:53,283
I've been saving this for five years.
260
00:19:54,021 --> 00:19:57,378
Everyone in life has his bible,
this is mine.
261
00:19:58,978 --> 00:20:03,661
I take it out and read it every day. I read
it to remind me of a guy I grew up with.
262
00:20:03,917 --> 00:20:05,648
Got shoved around with.
263
00:20:06,277 --> 00:20:08,566
We used to take a lot of raps together.
264
00:20:09,439 --> 00:20:13,143
Some people would call a guy
like that a...a loyal friend.
265
00:20:13,968 --> 00:20:15,353
He was.
266
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:22,050
Until he turned into a dirty stool pigeon,
and let me take the rap for him!
267
00:20:38,866 --> 00:20:40,070
Eddie...
268
00:20:41,380 --> 00:20:42,811
Riccardi?
269
00:20:43,025 --> 00:20:47,105
My good friend who sold me out
to a cop named Joe Williams!
270
00:20:58,268 --> 00:21:00,541
Don't mess up his face too much.
271
00:21:03,876 --> 00:21:05,909
I ought to kill you, Eddie.
272
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:08,709
But, you're not worth taking
another rap for!
273
00:21:08,769 --> 00:21:11,058
In 24 hours...disappear!
274
00:21:11,935 --> 00:21:15,006
Otherwise, I might be tempted
to change my mind!
275
00:21:15,624 --> 00:21:17,205
Give him some air!
276
00:22:11,865 --> 00:22:14,153
<i>Why didn't the girl come back?</i>
277
00:22:15,523 --> 00:22:17,812
<i>What did she know about me?</i>
278
00:22:18,730 --> 00:22:20,808
<i>Why did she bring me here?</i>
279
00:22:21,847 --> 00:22:23,111
<i>Vince...</i>
280
00:22:24,060 --> 00:22:26,123
<i>Why didn't Vince kill me?</i>
281
00:22:27,402 --> 00:22:29,450
<i>Maybe I deserved it.</i>
282
00:22:30,625 --> 00:22:33,140
<i>Maybe Dr Kemble ought to know?</i>
283
00:22:34,224 --> 00:22:36,051
<i>I better tell him.</i>
284
00:22:37,226 --> 00:22:39,033
<i>I better call him.</i>
285
00:22:40,328 --> 00:22:41,908
<i>I better...</i>
286
00:22:44,659 --> 00:22:45,879
Hello.
287
00:22:46,391 --> 00:22:50,456
I want to put through a call, person
to person. Dr Kemble...
288
00:22:50,652 --> 00:22:53,392
Letterman Genral Hospital,
San Francisco.
289
00:22:54,435 --> 00:22:56,091
K-E-M-B-L-E
290
00:22:57,411 --> 00:22:58,736
Thank you.
291
00:23:14,170 --> 00:23:15,961
Hello, Dr Kemble?
292
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,812
When do you expect him back?
293
00:23:19,219 --> 00:23:20,920
Not till tomorrow?
294
00:23:22,121 --> 00:23:24,500
Never mind, I'll see him personally.
295
00:24:15,503 --> 00:24:18,780
Forget about Union Station.
Take me to 7 Braxton Avenue.
296
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:30,476
Wait for me.
297
00:24:51,762 --> 00:24:53,961
Thanks a lot Lou, for driving me home.
298
00:24:54,021 --> 00:24:57,393
Just a minute, darling.
I'll walk to the door with you.
299
00:24:58,990 --> 00:25:02,378
It's early, Nina. A little drink for
a nightcap won't hurt you.
300
00:25:02,589 --> 00:25:04,456
That's what you think.
301
00:25:04,516 --> 00:25:07,825
You could make me forget that
thousand I dropped tonight, Nina.
302
00:25:07,885 --> 00:25:11,182
I can forget a lot of things, Lou.
You, for instance.
303
00:25:11,242 --> 00:25:13,633
Good night.
-Just a minute, baby.
304
00:25:13,693 --> 00:25:16,328
I'd like a little receipt
for that grand.
305
00:25:19,246 --> 00:25:20,827
That's better.
306
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:25,539
That's your receipt. Good night.
307
00:25:45,117 --> 00:25:46,758
Now listen...
308
00:25:50,045 --> 00:25:51,461
Go ahead.
309
00:25:51,521 --> 00:25:53,237
Take a good look.
310
00:25:53,629 --> 00:25:58,055
If you came to tell me how Vince welcomed
you back, you've said it. So, goodbye!
311
00:25:58,673 --> 00:26:02,272
I want to know what you had
to do with me...in my life.
312
00:26:04,596 --> 00:26:06,057
And this.
313
00:26:10,473 --> 00:26:12,160
December the 24th,
314
00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:13,801
1943.
315
00:26:14,162 --> 00:26:16,120
Ah, that was a lovely Christmas.
316
00:26:16,903 --> 00:26:19,041
One I'll never forget.
317
00:26:24,136 --> 00:26:26,380
Only one of your presents!
318
00:26:29,297 --> 00:26:33,664
Sure, I told Vince Alexander
you're back. I work for him.
319
00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:39,946
This clipping...
320
00:26:40,955 --> 00:26:45,366
Why couldn't you testify at the trial?
-Oh, no routines, I've heard them all.
321
00:26:48,454 --> 00:26:51,436
Listen to me!
I'm just out of an army hospital
322
00:26:51,496 --> 00:26:54,507
with a piece of steel in my head
and no memory to go with it.
323
00:26:54,567 --> 00:26:57,756
I'm here to find out about myself and
I'm getting answers the hard way!
324
00:26:57,816 --> 00:27:00,677
I don't know you, Vince Alexander...
325
00:27:00,737 --> 00:27:05,055
or anybody called Eddie Riccardi!
All I know is one person, Eddie Rice! Me!
326
00:27:07,178 --> 00:27:09,391
You're the last person I can turn to.
327
00:27:10,472 --> 00:27:12,263
Please believe me.
328
00:27:12,850 --> 00:27:14,115
Help me.
329
00:27:16,584 --> 00:27:19,039
That's a very touching speech.
330
00:27:21,477 --> 00:27:23,901
You lost your memory.
331
00:27:24,564 --> 00:27:28,298
You don't know why I couldn't
testify at the trial.
332
00:27:28,529 --> 00:27:32,067
You've forgotten how you used me to
make sure Vince would go to prison
333
00:27:32,127 --> 00:27:33,829
so you'd be set free.
334
00:27:33,889 --> 00:27:37,966
But, if you're back to your old tricks
again I've got sad news for you,
335
00:27:38,026 --> 00:27:40,752
I tore up your raincheck
three years ago.
336
00:27:43,494 --> 00:27:45,587
I'm not your wife anymore.
337
00:28:05,380 --> 00:28:08,090
Now to the station?
-Back to the hotel.
338
00:28:47,065 --> 00:28:49,579
You act like a cop that just
lost a conviction?
339
00:28:49,639 --> 00:28:52,877
Maybe I have, take a look at these.
Fresh out of the photo lab.
340
00:28:54,339 --> 00:28:56,808
Sharks don't talk, the
fingerprints spell Kelly.
341
00:28:56,868 --> 00:28:59,413
The Coroner said he was dead two
hours before he hit the water.
342
00:28:59,473 --> 00:29:01,807
Too bad. With the information
Kelly had for us
343
00:29:01,867 --> 00:29:04,186
we could have put Vince
away for a long stretch.
344
00:29:05,335 --> 00:29:07,066
What's eating you, Joe?
345
00:29:07,563 --> 00:29:09,295
I was a smart cop.
346
00:29:09,355 --> 00:29:12,712
I put Petey away to get him off of
Kelly's tail, and this is what happens.
347
00:29:12,772 --> 00:29:14,594
I feel like I killed Kelly.
348
00:29:14,654 --> 00:29:16,897
Riccardi...think he's tied up in it?
349
00:29:16,957 --> 00:29:19,909
Walking back into town that day
could tie him up in anything.
350
00:29:20,237 --> 00:29:22,706
Is the case my baby?
-All yours.
351
00:29:24,916 --> 00:29:26,301
Now what?
352
00:29:26,361 --> 00:29:28,936
I figure we shouldn't keep
it a secret from Vince.
353
00:29:40,844 --> 00:29:43,087
Only six days in the week now, huh?
354
00:29:43,455 --> 00:29:46,557
How do you like that, the card
must have fell out.
355
00:29:46,617 --> 00:29:48,604
It was there yesterday. Nick...
356
00:29:48,664 --> 00:29:50,125
Who's Jane Doe?
357
00:29:50,185 --> 00:29:52,817
Please, Lieutenant. I don't look
at their birth certificate.
358
00:29:52,877 --> 00:29:55,075
Lots of people don't use
their right names.
359
00:29:55,135 --> 00:29:59,002
With me, a buck is a buck.
I don't ask questions.
360
00:29:59,318 --> 00:30:02,435
Before I'm through, Nick...
you'll be answering a few.
361
00:30:08,026 --> 00:30:12,377
It's gettin' so you can't tail a guy anymore
without having the cops jump on ya.
362
00:30:12,437 --> 00:30:14,666
This town's goin' to the dogs.
363
00:30:14,981 --> 00:30:18,143
Samson and me...
-Petey! Get that cat off the desk!
364
00:30:18,776 --> 00:30:22,133
I was just saying, Samson and
me could stand a vacation.
365
00:30:22,389 --> 00:30:25,340
You want us to blow town?
-That's just what I don't want.
366
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,047
Coke will set you up, and stay quiet!
367
00:30:28,107 --> 00:30:30,667
Well, sure Vince, sure.
Anything you say.
368
00:31:05,567 --> 00:31:06,922
Hello, Danny.
369
00:31:16,370 --> 00:31:18,327
Come in. Come in, Joe.
370
00:31:18,674 --> 00:31:22,543
Pull up a chair and rest your feet.
I hear you've had a busy day.
371
00:31:26,329 --> 00:31:29,099
I figured you would.
I was saving you for last.
372
00:31:30,183 --> 00:31:31,644
Should I...
373
00:31:31,930 --> 00:31:33,993
relax or call in my lawyer?
374
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:36,698
That depends on how nervous you are.
375
00:31:36,758 --> 00:31:39,529
I was always thought nervous
guys bit their nails?
376
00:31:39,589 --> 00:31:41,095
Now, let me see...
377
00:31:41,317 --> 00:31:44,675
Nick was a little bit hazy about
who Jane Doe was.
378
00:31:44,946 --> 00:31:47,144
I thought you might be able to tell me.
379
00:31:47,336 --> 00:31:49,113
Never heard of the girl.
380
00:31:49,173 --> 00:31:50,634
Then there's Petey.
381
00:31:50,694 --> 00:31:54,654
And how certain people got know where
and just when to bail him out.
382
00:31:54,714 --> 00:31:57,014
Now...nobody knows anything.
383
00:31:57,421 --> 00:31:58,912
But, we'll find him.
384
00:31:59,273 --> 00:32:01,863
We;ve got all exits out of town plugged.
385
00:32:03,697 --> 00:32:06,483
And I got a hunch he'll
be real cooperative.
386
00:32:06,769 --> 00:32:08,063
You see...
387
00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:10,698
I don't think he knows
anything about this.
388
00:32:11,090 --> 00:32:12,249
Kelly.
389
00:32:12,798 --> 00:32:15,162
He's gone and gotten himself killed.
390
00:32:15,915 --> 00:32:17,571
Just like Kelly...
391
00:32:17,842 --> 00:32:19,920
You never know what he'll do next.
392
00:32:20,191 --> 00:32:21,983
That goes for a lot of guys.
393
00:32:22,449 --> 00:32:23,910
Take you and...
394
00:32:24,482 --> 00:32:26,529
Then again, take Eddie Riccardi...
395
00:32:26,589 --> 00:32:29,962
You boys forgive and forget,
and back in business again.
396
00:32:31,037 --> 00:32:34,485
You and Riccardi got a lot in common,
why don't you ask him?
397
00:32:34,545 --> 00:32:36,352
At the moment, you're number one.
398
00:32:36,623 --> 00:32:40,281
And, it won't be any...manslaughter
charge and out in two years.
399
00:32:41,076 --> 00:32:43,048
I put you away this time...
400
00:32:43,334 --> 00:32:44,840
it'll be for keeps.
401
00:32:47,035 --> 00:32:50,031
You got all the answers figured
out, haven't you?
402
00:32:50,091 --> 00:32:52,636
I might have, sooner than you think.
403
00:32:53,959 --> 00:32:55,479
So sorry!
404
00:33:35,693 --> 00:33:39,292
Me, I never had a complaint.
You call my old boss.
405
00:33:39,352 --> 00:33:42,115
He'll tell you my bringing in 500
a night at the gambling tables
406
00:33:42,175 --> 00:33:44,344
was a small bag of tell.
407
00:33:45,169 --> 00:33:48,993
Oh, Mr Alexander! I just came in looking
for a job and I was telling Ms Martin...
408
00:33:49,053 --> 00:33:50,378
Get rid of her.
409
00:33:51,278 --> 00:33:55,238
Vince, we need some new talent...
-Okay! Okay! Come back at eight tonight.
410
00:33:55,298 --> 00:33:58,324
She'll tell you what to do.
-Oh, gee! Thanks!
411
00:34:01,806 --> 00:34:03,899
You know Eddie's still in town?
412
00:34:05,013 --> 00:34:06,172
Yes.
413
00:34:06,353 --> 00:34:08,024
Been around to see you?
414
00:34:09,667 --> 00:34:10,796
When?
415
00:34:11,534 --> 00:34:13,266
Late last night.
416
00:34:14,184 --> 00:34:16,548
Did he tell ya I gave him
24 hours to get out?
417
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,249
No.
418
00:34:19,872 --> 00:34:22,793
Well, I changed my mind.
I want him to stay.
419
00:34:23,049 --> 00:34:25,142
I want you to make sure he does stay.
420
00:34:26,876 --> 00:34:29,827
My job's to work the tables
for you here, Vince, and...
421
00:34:30,324 --> 00:34:34,961
I don't even mind setups like the one with
Petey or...other deals like that, but...
422
00:34:36,439 --> 00:34:37,613
Vince...
423
00:34:38,336 --> 00:34:40,534
Stay out of my personal life!
424
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:42,311
Listen you...
425
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,041
When Eddie dropped you, who picked
you up and gave you your health?
426
00:34:46,101 --> 00:34:49,053
Who gave you your job?
Everything you got?
427
00:34:49,459 --> 00:34:51,206
Vince Alexander!
428
00:34:52,806 --> 00:34:54,538
I won't do it, Vince.
429
00:34:54,598 --> 00:34:55,923
Forget Eddie.
430
00:34:55,983 --> 00:34:57,639
When I get through with him.
431
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,717
But, now you're gonna meet him.
432
00:35:00,715 --> 00:35:03,440
And, I want you to make sure
he does stay in town.
433
00:35:34,220 --> 00:35:35,566
What'll it be?
434
00:35:35,626 --> 00:35:37,854
Did five years make you
forget that easily?
435
00:35:37,914 --> 00:35:41,016
I told you...in five years you
can forget a lot of things.
436
00:35:41,076 --> 00:35:43,064
Something for the lady?
-Rob Roy, please.
437
00:35:43,124 --> 00:35:44,491
The same.
438
00:35:48,131 --> 00:35:50,932
What made you change your mind
about seeing me again?
439
00:35:54,897 --> 00:35:58,210
You know, finding out I was married
to you kind of threw me.
440
00:35:58,992 --> 00:36:02,169
It was even something the boys at
the hospital used to rib me about.
441
00:36:02,564 --> 00:36:05,605
They had me fixed up with a
wife and four or five kids.
442
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:09,881
They didn't know how close the
gag came to being true.
443
00:36:11,474 --> 00:36:13,672
You still don't believe me, do you?
444
00:36:21,056 --> 00:36:25,236
Maybe this'll convince you it was Eddie
Rice that rang your doorbell last night.
445
00:36:26,537 --> 00:36:29,909
Call Dr Kemble at Letterman's
Hospital in San Francisco.
446
00:36:31,007 --> 00:36:33,025
He'll tell you the whole story.
447
00:36:38,141 --> 00:36:39,767
Tha cigarette case...
448
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,323
Doesn't it mean anything to you?
449
00:36:47,468 --> 00:36:48,868
Should it?
450
00:36:54,926 --> 00:36:57,350
Suppose I did believe you, then what?
451
00:36:59,488 --> 00:37:03,569
Then, I'd try and make you forget that
Eddie Riccardi was ever in your life.
452
00:37:04,476 --> 00:37:06,403
You think you can do that?
453
00:37:07,216 --> 00:37:08,737
Eddie Rice can.
454
00:37:20,823 --> 00:37:22,570
Eddie, leave town.
455
00:37:24,533 --> 00:37:27,228
Now you're talking like Vince.
-Maybe I was yesterday.
456
00:37:27,288 --> 00:37:30,492
Don't ask me why, but go.
-Nina, I don't frighten easily.
457
00:37:30,552 --> 00:37:33,353
You can take that message back to Vince.
Tell him I'm staying!
458
00:37:33,413 --> 00:37:36,816
That's what he wants you to do. That's
why I'm here, to keep you from leaving.
459
00:37:36,876 --> 00:37:38,740
I'd hate to disappoint him then.
460
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,895
Eddie, don't be stubborn, I know Vince.
He doesn't do anything without a reason.
461
00:37:43,964 --> 00:37:45,530
Neither do I.
462
00:37:47,802 --> 00:37:52,590
Stay then! Get yourself beaten up again,
or killed. Do anything you want.
463
00:38:35,782 --> 00:38:38,267
Riccardi.
-Very interesting.
464
00:38:47,205 --> 00:38:48,936
Scotch over water.
465
00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:53,136
Lose something, Charlie?
466
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,406
Tell Nina Martin, Eddie wants to see her.
-Eddie who?
467
00:38:59,658 --> 00:39:01,103
Just Eddie.
468
00:39:01,630 --> 00:39:03,060
Wait here.
469
00:39:11,467 --> 00:39:12,943
What'll I need?
470
00:39:13,003 --> 00:39:15,653
A thousand might bring you luck.
-A thousand?
471
00:39:15,894 --> 00:39:17,475
Give me a thousand.
472
00:39:24,925 --> 00:39:27,891
A character called Eddie's outside,
wants to see you.
473
00:39:27,951 --> 00:39:29,412
Eddie here?
474
00:39:29,788 --> 00:39:31,204
Get rid of him!
475
00:39:31,425 --> 00:39:33,668
That's not what Vince had in mind.
476
00:39:43,422 --> 00:39:44,972
All right, come on.
477
00:39:53,097 --> 00:39:54,663
6...9...12!
478
00:39:54,919 --> 00:39:56,636
All bets down.
479
00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:04,549
It's a nice layout. Vince ought to be
able to pick up some fast money.
480
00:40:04,609 --> 00:40:07,063
You're crazy to come walking in here.
481
00:40:07,123 --> 00:40:09,273
Maybe I'm just hard to convince.
482
00:40:10,477 --> 00:40:12,374
My dressing room is back there.
483
00:40:13,925 --> 00:40:16,590
I'll be back before the
wheel stops turning.
484
00:40:34,853 --> 00:40:35,973
Yeah?
485
00:40:37,478 --> 00:40:38,939
Okay, thanks.
486
00:40:43,645 --> 00:40:45,813
So, she wanted to get rid of him.
487
00:40:47,179 --> 00:40:50,040
I wonder if that dame is trying
to pull a double cross.
488
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,129
Get down to the Golden Horn and pick up
Eddie Riccardi, you'll find him with Nina.
489
00:40:55,189 --> 00:40:56,270
Just him?
490
00:40:56,571 --> 00:40:57,746
Just him.
491
00:40:58,197 --> 00:41:00,110
I'll get around to her later.
492
00:41:03,747 --> 00:41:05,569
I started to leave...
493
00:41:05,794 --> 00:41:08,309
but I kept thinking about
everything you told me.
494
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,230
If I'd of left I'd been all the
things you said I was.
495
00:41:11,727 --> 00:41:13,232
So, I'm staying.
496
00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:17,505
And, I'm taking you out of here.
497
00:41:18,498 --> 00:41:19,673
Nina.
498
00:41:21,043 --> 00:41:23,436
We could have a decent life together.
499
00:41:26,553 --> 00:41:28,465
You got it all figured out.
500
00:41:31,452 --> 00:41:36,089
Well, you're not taking me anywhere.
You pushed me into this life and I like it.
501
00:41:36,481 --> 00:41:41,374
I'm top bait around here steering nice,
fat, pigeons to the gambling table.
502
00:41:41,434 --> 00:41:46,174
I'm one of Vince's kind now and I'm keeping
my life and my job just the way they are.
503
00:41:46,234 --> 00:41:48,026
No matter what I have to do!
504
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:49,934
Come on.
505
00:41:59,090 --> 00:42:00,144
Thanks.
506
00:42:10,804 --> 00:42:13,469
Now, how about some champagne?
507
00:42:14,389 --> 00:42:17,581
Excuse me for a minute, honey.
I forgot I got to call my wife.
508
00:42:32,729 --> 00:42:35,048
Williams, Homicide.
Yeah, Barnes.
509
00:42:36,509 --> 00:42:37,653
Yeah!
510
00:42:38,586 --> 00:42:39,881
Thanks a lot!
511
00:42:40,377 --> 00:42:41,898
What's exciting?
512
00:42:50,385 --> 00:42:54,646
I said, what's exciting? Or, don't
you want to wake me up?
513
00:42:55,138 --> 00:42:59,113
Barnes casing the Golden Horn for vice
intel, tells me Riccardi just walked in.
514
00:42:59,805 --> 00:43:01,266
Trouble maybe?
515
00:43:01,717 --> 00:43:04,924
I could think of plenty of reasons why
there might be for Eddie Rice.
516
00:43:05,478 --> 00:43:07,300
You'll hear from me later.
517
00:43:25,961 --> 00:43:28,189
How you coming with that
Kelly report, Ben?
518
00:43:28,249 --> 00:43:30,945
Just finishing up for you.
-Okay, I'll wait.
519
00:43:33,515 --> 00:43:36,586
Somebody must've believed in that
old gag about an apple a day.
520
00:43:36,646 --> 00:43:40,513
Yeah, but they didn't know it would pin
a murder on them. -Quite an appetite.
521
00:43:40,573 --> 00:43:43,253
Psychological, it creates
a false hunger.
522
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:50,156
Well, here you are, Joe.
I can go home now.
523
00:43:50,216 --> 00:43:53,454
Thanks a lot, Ben. See you tomorrow.
-Okay, see ya tomorrow.
524
00:44:06,875 --> 00:44:07,778
Yeah?
525
00:44:07,838 --> 00:44:10,970
I'm interested in Eddie Riccardi,
not in what's going on in there.
526
00:44:11,030 --> 00:44:13,680
We don't know from Riccardi.
-I do, open up.
527
00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:18,240
Place your bets, folks. Place your
bets. Bet high/low...odd or even.
528
00:44:38,711 --> 00:44:39,795
Yes?
529
00:44:39,990 --> 00:44:43,438
Miss Martin? Williams, Homicide.
May I come in please?
530
00:44:43,732 --> 00:44:44,982
Come in.
531
00:44:47,432 --> 00:44:50,820
Eddie was just picked up by Danny.
-Where'd he take him?
532
00:44:52,557 --> 00:44:54,424
You'll hear from me later.
533
00:45:14,826 --> 00:45:16,377
You know, Williams?
534
00:45:17,054 --> 00:45:19,524
I'm not used to cops with insomnia.
535
00:45:20,201 --> 00:45:22,791
What's on your mind?
-It won't take long.
536
00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:25,960
Danny picked up Eddie Riccardi.
Where are they?
537
00:45:27,537 --> 00:45:29,329
You're in an awful rut.
538
00:45:29,540 --> 00:45:31,497
Always asking questions.
539
00:45:31,557 --> 00:45:33,846
All right...let's start over.
540
00:45:34,581 --> 00:45:37,306
Eddie was at the Golden Horn
with Nina Martin.
541
00:45:37,366 --> 00:45:39,685
Suddenly, he wasn't there anymore.
542
00:45:40,208 --> 00:45:41,368
So...
543
00:45:41,578 --> 00:45:44,018
So...I don't mind waiting.
544
00:45:45,900 --> 00:45:48,053
While we kill a little time...
545
00:45:49,429 --> 00:45:51,176
This might interest you.
546
00:46:01,803 --> 00:46:05,733
And, after we pick up Riccardi...
we're going down to police headquarters.
547
00:46:06,034 --> 00:46:08,579
You're gonna have a manicure...on me.
548
00:46:10,294 --> 00:46:13,380
You know, you're gonna look awful
silly when I get through with you.
549
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,819
If I'm wrong...I'll apologize.
550
00:46:21,050 --> 00:46:23,264
Say hello, nothing more.
551
00:46:25,733 --> 00:46:26,862
Hello.
552
00:46:27,674 --> 00:46:31,408
Vince, we're at the shop. Do we
stay or bring Riccardi up there?
553
00:46:32,507 --> 00:46:34,238
Tell him you'll be down.
554
00:46:52,464 --> 00:46:53,699
Okay, Coke...
555
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,385
<i>Bring him up here.</i>
556
00:47:28,724 --> 00:47:30,530
What do you want now?
557
00:47:41,819 --> 00:47:44,605
Just when he was coming up
in the department.
558
00:49:14,591 --> 00:49:15,886
Car 9-4
559
00:49:15,946 --> 00:49:17,813
9-4 to Control-4.
560
00:49:17,873 --> 00:49:20,252
<i>Clear Frequency-4, this is an emergency.</i>
561
00:49:20,312 --> 00:49:23,126
Control-4 to 94, go ahead.
562
00:49:23,186 --> 00:49:25,099
<i>Car 94 to Control-4</i>
563
00:49:25,159 --> 00:49:29,209
<i>Notify the Homicide Bureau, we have found
the body of Lt Williams in his car.</i>
564
00:49:29,269 --> 00:49:31,133
At Sepulveda and Sunset.
565
00:50:17,423 --> 00:50:18,763
Give you a lift, son?
566
00:50:18,823 --> 00:50:21,485
Thanks, I had a little accident
back up a side road.
567
00:50:21,545 --> 00:50:24,556
I have to go to town, get a tow car.
-Anybody killed?
568
00:50:27,016 --> 00:50:29,561
No luck at all tonight.
Hop in.
569
00:50:39,349 --> 00:50:42,090
Bet you thought I wouldn't stop
to pick you up, didn't you?
570
00:50:42,150 --> 00:50:43,638
I didn't know.
571
00:50:43,698 --> 00:50:45,113
It's late.
-See...
572
00:50:45,173 --> 00:50:49,130
That's why I fooled you. Have me orders.
Pick up anybody, anytime.
573
00:50:49,747 --> 00:50:51,870
Green Acres Morticians policy.
574
00:50:52,094 --> 00:50:54,698
Live today...maybe a customer tomorrow.
575
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,400
Pays off too.
576
00:50:56,460 --> 00:50:59,848
Most people remember the nice things
you do for them while they're living.
577
00:50:59,908 --> 00:51:03,864
We sure don't get any complaints about our
service from them after they're dead.
578
00:51:03,924 --> 00:51:05,927
Their family, that is.
579
00:51:07,423 --> 00:51:09,441
That accident hurt you any?
580
00:51:10,992 --> 00:51:13,069
Got a match?
-Sure do.
581
00:51:19,645 --> 00:51:21,813
Police, ambulance and everything.
582
00:51:22,114 --> 00:51:24,312
I wonder if I'm losing any customers?
583
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:40,902
Finished with Joe's stuff yet?
-Still working on it.
584
00:51:43,326 --> 00:51:44,816
It's too bad...
585
00:51:45,434 --> 00:51:48,460
Joe's wife sure liked him
in that suit too.
586
00:52:13,311 --> 00:52:16,021
Any line on Riccardi yet?
-Nothing, Captain.
587
00:52:16,081 --> 00:52:19,710
Keep trying, he's the last one who
might of seen Joe. -Okay.
588
00:52:20,197 --> 00:52:21,718
Eddie Riccardi.
589
00:52:24,187 --> 00:52:26,445
Guess Williams was right after all.
590
00:52:26,701 --> 00:52:28,538
Riccardi or Rice.
591
00:52:28,826 --> 00:52:32,530
A Silver Star and a dumb look doesn't
change a no good heel.
592
00:52:33,147 --> 00:52:36,173
Attention all units!
Attention all units!
593
00:52:36,233 --> 00:52:40,175
Be on the lookout for the following
<i>described suspect, wanted for murder:</i>
594
00:52:40,551 --> 00:52:43,322
<i>Eddie Riccardi, alias Eddie Rice,</i>
595
00:52:43,589 --> 00:52:46,164
<i>White male, American,</i>
596
00:52:46,224 --> 00:52:49,341
<i>Age 33, 6 foot 2.</i>
597
00:52:49,729 --> 00:52:51,506
<i>190 lbs...</i>
598
00:52:51,957 --> 00:52:53,312
<i>Dark brown...</i>
599
00:52:53,659 --> 00:52:55,944
You phone the cops and do 'em a favor,
600
00:52:56,004 --> 00:53:00,024
where to find a dead cop and the guy
that did it, and what happens...
601
00:53:05,972 --> 00:53:08,035
The first stop is Nina Martin's.
602
00:53:08,276 --> 00:53:10,474
I want Eddie before the cops get him.
603
00:53:10,730 --> 00:53:12,913
Then they can have him for a present.
604
00:53:14,334 --> 00:53:15,915
And alive!
605
00:53:32,066 --> 00:53:33,843
Eddie!
-Shut up!
606
00:53:34,168 --> 00:53:36,065
Get those lights out!
607
00:53:37,285 --> 00:53:39,152
Eddie, what happened?
608
00:53:40,533 --> 00:53:43,951
You certainly did a neat job
of tying me into a murder.
609
00:53:44,011 --> 00:53:46,089
Joe Williams was killed tonight.
610
00:53:46,149 --> 00:53:47,901
You?
-I don't know.
611
00:53:47,961 --> 00:53:51,138
The last thing I remember was being slugged
over the head at Vince Alexander's.
612
00:53:51,198 --> 00:53:53,713
I know you think that...
-I haven't got time to think!
613
00:53:53,773 --> 00:53:57,811
All I want is a few bucks, your car and
you in my sight till I get out of here!
614
00:53:57,871 --> 00:53:59,874
Eddie, you've got to believe me!
615
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:01,335
Believe?
616
00:54:01,656 --> 00:54:03,508
Like you believed me?
617
00:54:03,885 --> 00:54:05,661
Give me the keys!
618
00:54:10,271 --> 00:54:14,017
Eddie! This is why I turned on you
tonight, to get you away from Vince.
619
00:54:14,077 --> 00:54:16,992
The keys are in the car, you go,
I'll try to stall them off.
620
00:54:17,224 --> 00:54:19,468
And get a bullet in the back of my head?
621
00:54:19,528 --> 00:54:22,404
Oh, Eddie! You've got to trust me,
it's your only chance.
622
00:54:24,815 --> 00:54:26,091
Quick!
623
00:54:26,444 --> 00:54:28,043
The garage.
624
00:55:25,770 --> 00:55:29,188
This is where you get out. -Go to the
police, Eddie. Before it's too late.
625
00:55:29,248 --> 00:55:32,400
With my fingerprints all over the
gun and all over Williams car?
626
00:55:32,460 --> 00:55:35,257
I wouldn't last long enough to walk
to the nearest police station.
627
00:55:35,317 --> 00:55:38,133
If I did what could I tell them?
Now out!
628
00:55:38,788 --> 00:55:41,737
You want me to go home and wait
for Vince to come back again?
629
00:55:41,797 --> 00:55:45,800
That's something Eddie Riccardo would
tell me to do, not Eddie Rice.
630
00:55:49,139 --> 00:55:50,606
All right.
631
00:56:06,538 --> 00:56:07,668
Stop.
632
00:56:11,312 --> 00:56:13,997
Keep your lights off and
the motor running.
633
00:56:57,233 --> 00:56:59,889
Well, now you've got a gun! What next?
634
00:57:01,213 --> 00:57:04,044
I didn't ask for any killings,
so I'm in the middle.
635
00:57:04,528 --> 00:57:07,711
But, I'm not going to be a clay
pigeon for Vince Alexander.
636
00:57:08,308 --> 00:57:10,513
You can't prove anything dead.
637
00:57:10,573 --> 00:57:14,597
That would make Vince very happy,
something I wouldn't want to let happen.
638
00:57:15,047 --> 00:57:18,758
Is there any place we could go, someone
you can trust to put us up for the night?
639
00:57:18,818 --> 00:57:20,299
I need time.
640
00:57:21,747 --> 00:57:23,404
Maybe there is.
641
00:57:23,464 --> 00:57:25,443
It's a long chance, but...
642
00:57:28,917 --> 00:57:31,763
You don't think you're going to
get away with this, do you?
643
00:57:32,276 --> 00:57:34,477
We're staying here till tomorrow.
644
00:57:42,766 --> 00:57:46,004
Stay away from that phone!
If it rings, let it keep ringing!
645
00:57:46,064 --> 00:57:48,953
Get rid of anybody who comes to
the door, I'll be right behind you
646
00:57:49,013 --> 00:57:50,845
in case you give the wrong answers.
647
00:57:55,517 --> 00:57:58,539
What about the girl's place?
-There and gone.
648
00:57:58,599 --> 00:58:02,705
Get a teletype out on her car immediately,
have it re-broadcast every half hour.
649
00:58:08,211 --> 00:58:10,661
I want roadblocks at all these points.
650
00:58:10,721 --> 00:58:12,705
I want the airport, the railroad station,
651
00:58:12,765 --> 00:58:15,536
all the bus terminals put
under a 24 surveillance.
652
00:58:15,596 --> 00:58:18,001
I want every hotel and
flophouse notified.
653
00:58:18,061 --> 00:58:20,818
They're in this town somewhere
and they're not getting out.
654
00:58:21,019 --> 00:58:22,354
One other thing...
655
00:58:22,414 --> 00:58:26,887
We picked up Riccardi's fingerprints on
that gun shop. He's got a gun now.
656
00:58:27,294 --> 00:58:29,421
Don't give him a chance to use it!
657
00:58:29,481 --> 00:58:31,284
All right, start moving.
658
00:58:31,344 --> 00:58:33,908
<i>The police tightened its dragnet
about the city today.</i>
659
00:58:33,968 --> 00:58:36,988
<i>Riccardi escaped just as the police
were ready to close in on him</i>
660
00:58:37,048 --> 00:58:39,197
<i>after they received an
anonymous phone call</i>
661
00:58:39,257 --> 00:58:42,292
<i>which led them to discover the murdered
body of one of their men today.</i>
662
00:58:42,352 --> 00:58:44,067
<i>Every available man...</i>
663
00:58:47,714 --> 00:58:49,958
We'll wait till it's dark
and get out of here.
664
00:58:50,018 --> 00:58:52,423
You couldn't arrange to
drop dead before then?
665
00:58:52,483 --> 00:58:55,606
Hazel, you've got to believe us.
Eddie didn't do it!
666
00:58:55,897 --> 00:58:57,936
He should still drop dead.
667
00:58:58,269 --> 00:58:59,604
Twice.
668
01:00:12,318 --> 01:00:13,477
Coke!
669
01:00:36,274 --> 01:00:38,401
Get me a couple of clean towels.
670
01:00:42,231 --> 01:00:43,771
It's pretty bad.
671
01:00:44,739 --> 01:00:49,052
I'll have you out of here in a minute,
we'll find a doctor. -Go to the police.
672
01:00:49,497 --> 01:00:51,448
Eddie, go to the police.
673
01:00:53,848 --> 01:00:55,961
Your car in the garage?
-Yes.
674
01:00:56,021 --> 01:00:58,704
Where are your keys?
-In my purse.
675
01:00:58,764 --> 01:01:00,288
Take care of her.
676
01:01:22,875 --> 01:01:23,843
Thanks.
677
01:01:23,903 --> 01:01:26,748
I'll have the doctor come right
in the moment he returns.
678
01:01:38,651 --> 01:01:40,602
Light me a cigarette.
679
01:02:02,498 --> 01:02:04,288
You're far away.
680
01:02:06,205 --> 01:02:07,614
How far?
681
01:02:09,418 --> 01:02:10,885
Five years.
682
01:02:11,545 --> 01:02:13,041
A lifetime.
683
01:02:14,259 --> 01:02:15,961
Beyond that, a blank.
684
01:02:17,162 --> 01:02:18,879
Me too, Eddie.
685
01:02:18,939 --> 01:02:21,270
Only, it's been a different
kind of a blank.
686
01:02:21,798 --> 01:02:24,453
It's being pushed back
to Eddie Riccardi.
687
01:02:24,937 --> 01:02:26,184
This.
688
01:02:26,811 --> 01:02:30,215
The whole past that keeps me
from being like other people.
689
01:02:30,992 --> 01:02:32,763
Now all that's left is
690
01:02:32,823 --> 01:02:36,460
wondering what it would be like if there
had only been an Eddie Rice.
691
01:02:38,540 --> 01:02:41,287
If I'd of just met you
for the first time.
692
01:02:43,087 --> 01:02:45,508
Eddie Rice can have that.
693
01:02:48,248 --> 01:02:50,610
Oh, you're...good, Eddie.
694
01:02:51,681 --> 01:02:53,368
You're good.
695
01:02:54,934 --> 01:02:57,622
You've taken away the hate in me.
696
01:02:58,176 --> 01:02:59,995
Destroyed it.
697
01:03:01,946 --> 01:03:03,912
You're...good, Eddie.
698
01:03:07,874 --> 01:03:10,573
When a baby wants to be born,
hours don't matter!
699
01:03:10,633 --> 01:03:12,554
7 poundsd 7ounces...a boy.
700
01:03:12,614 --> 01:03:14,549
Doctor, her shoulder...
701
01:03:29,779 --> 01:03:31,760
I can't treat gun wounds.
702
01:03:31,820 --> 01:03:34,679
She'll have to go to the police
emergency hospital.
703
01:03:34,739 --> 01:03:36,179
I don't think so.
704
01:03:36,239 --> 01:03:39,260
I'm sorry, but I've got to report
this to the police.
705
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:40,624
Doctor.
706
01:03:41,138 --> 01:03:43,191
That report to the police...
707
01:03:43,539 --> 01:03:44,918
It'll wait.
708
01:03:45,123 --> 01:03:47,368
If you want to pull that
trigger, go ahead.
709
01:03:49,535 --> 01:03:51,603
Police headquarters, please.
710
01:03:53,055 --> 01:03:56,092
Put that gun away! I said I was
going to call the police.
711
01:03:56,293 --> 01:03:57,775
Police headquarters?
712
01:03:57,980 --> 01:04:00,914
This is Dr Stacey, 93 Chestnut Street.
713
01:04:01,174 --> 01:04:03,492
Send an ambulance and a squad car.
714
01:04:09,003 --> 01:04:10,602
How bad is it?
715
01:04:14,534 --> 01:04:16,118
She'll be all right.
716
01:04:18,447 --> 01:04:20,262
You'd better leave.
717
01:04:27,035 --> 01:04:30,805
Eddie, I'm scared...I'm scared...
-Take it easy, you'll be all right.
718
01:04:30,865 --> 01:04:33,341
Not for me, for you.
-Listen...
719
01:04:33,531 --> 01:04:37,507
I'm leaving you for a little while.
I've got an idea, it might work.
720
01:04:37,567 --> 01:04:39,672
Something very important.
721
01:04:40,214 --> 01:04:44,395
You knew all about me. The people
I used to know, the places I went.
722
01:04:44,699 --> 01:04:46,855
Think for me, go back five years.
723
01:04:46,915 --> 01:04:51,110
Who was there? Just one person.
Give me the answers, quick!
724
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,289
What you say is my only chance,
the only chance I've got.
725
01:04:54,349 --> 01:04:58,231
The only one left is...Petey.
He can't be trusted with Vince.
726
01:04:58,291 --> 01:05:01,337
Where will I find him?
-Not him, he's... -Tell me!
727
01:05:01,759 --> 01:05:04,457
Two, three places on Main Street.
728
01:05:05,198 --> 01:05:07,034
Fourth and Main...
729
01:05:07,094 --> 01:05:10,091
And after Nina ran in front of him,
Coke never had a chance.
730
01:05:10,151 --> 01:05:11,748
That Eddie sure didn't miss.
731
01:05:11,808 --> 01:05:14,345
Coke took three, went right through
his breakfast, lunch and supper.
732
01:05:14,405 --> 01:05:16,575
Anybody come around, ask any questions?
733
01:05:16,635 --> 01:05:19,900
None I couldn't answer, Vince.
-Get back down and keep him company.
734
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,570
But...but, the police?
-That's exactly what I want!
735
01:05:22,630 --> 01:05:25,559
Tell him how Riccardi broke into your
apartment, found Coke there
736
01:05:25,619 --> 01:05:28,727
pulled his gun and fired. Now do
what I told you, just that!
737
01:05:29,035 --> 01:05:31,250
All right, Vince.
-Take her back!
738
01:05:35,048 --> 01:05:37,293
Eddie's got to find a doctor somewhere.
739
01:05:37,484 --> 01:05:39,581
And, if he does what I think, he'll...
740
01:05:39,772 --> 01:05:42,295
dump the girl...and start looking
for a hidewaway.
741
01:05:43,785 --> 01:05:44,973
Get going!
742
01:05:45,033 --> 01:05:48,039
Spread the news I got a personal
interest in Eddie Riccardi.
743
01:05:48,099 --> 01:05:50,870
I don't want anything to happen
to him...until I get there.
744
01:05:51,389 --> 01:05:53,443
Unless the cops get him first.
745
01:05:54,467 --> 01:05:57,841
You through with him, Doc?
-Yup. He was a fine specimen.
746
01:05:57,901 --> 01:06:00,041
Would have had a long life
if this hadn't happened.
747
01:06:00,101 --> 01:06:02,051
I'll send you my report in the morning.
748
01:06:05,694 --> 01:06:08,335
I'm sure you don't mind coming
downtown, Miss Downs?
749
01:06:08,395 --> 01:06:10,477
Well, I...
-I thought not.
750
01:06:12,659 --> 01:06:14,859
What'd you find?
-It was them all right.
751
01:06:14,919 --> 01:06:17,471
Riccardi left the doctor's office
about 30 minutes ago
752
01:06:17,531 --> 01:06:20,830
Notify Communications? -They're blanketing
the whole area. -The girl?
753
01:06:20,890 --> 01:06:25,608
County Jail Hospital. Still out, whether
she's playing it safe or just not talking.
754
01:06:25,668 --> 01:06:29,085
Keep Melon there, the minute she comes
out, I want to know. -Any ideas?
755
01:06:29,145 --> 01:06:31,970
Lots! We need Riccardi to
explain some of them.
756
01:06:32,157 --> 01:06:34,196
If he lives that long.
757
01:06:38,347 --> 01:06:41,120
Hello. I'm looking for Petey,
have you seen him?
758
01:06:42,691 --> 01:06:44,671
Do you know where to find him?
759
01:06:57,552 --> 01:07:00,780
<i>Nina said three or four places,
I must have hit twenty.</i>
760
01:07:01,245 --> 01:07:03,196
<i>And every answer the same.</i>
761
01:07:03,710 --> 01:07:04,810
<i>No.</i>
762
01:07:05,803 --> 01:07:08,605
<i>The shake of their head,
a frightened face.</i>
763
01:07:10,111 --> 01:07:14,043
<i>They knew where I could find what I was
looking for, but they wouldn't talk.</i>
764
01:07:14,483 --> 01:07:16,141
<i>They were scared.</i>
765
01:08:08,257 --> 01:08:11,660
But, Vince! Appreciate the fact
that at least I called you.
766
01:08:11,961 --> 01:08:14,015
I let him stay, it's another rap.
767
01:08:14,075 --> 01:08:17,623
Another rap, I get life! You've
got to appreciate that!
768
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,296
And I'd appreciate it if you'd
tell me where to find Petey.
769
01:08:24,044 --> 01:08:25,306
Right now!
770
01:08:25,366 --> 01:08:26,758
Sure, Eddie.
771
01:08:27,096 --> 01:08:28,152
Sure.
772
01:08:34,841 --> 01:08:36,822
Ocean Boulevard and 25th.
773
01:09:43,996 --> 01:09:46,490
Who's there? Who is it?
-Eddie.
774
01:09:47,355 --> 01:09:48,910
Eddie Riccardi.
775
01:09:49,277 --> 01:09:52,886
Oh, Eddie boy. Every cop in the
city is out gunning for you!
776
01:09:53,350 --> 01:09:55,403
Maybe you don't care if you live...
777
01:09:55,711 --> 01:09:57,604
I got a few more years left!
778
01:09:57,839 --> 01:09:59,526
Open the door, Petey.
779
01:10:00,083 --> 01:10:01,799
You're dead if you don't.
780
01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:04,769
All right, Eddie.
781
01:10:12,804 --> 01:10:15,914
You didn't think I'd leave you out
there in the cold, did you Eddie?
782
01:10:16,545 --> 01:10:20,550
Five years, no see! But, you sure got
a hot fire burning under you, huh?
783
01:10:21,019 --> 01:10:22,105
Yeah.
784
01:10:24,891 --> 01:10:26,900
You need a pal, a friend.
785
01:10:30,025 --> 01:10:32,240
Sure, I need a friend, Petey.
786
01:10:32,483 --> 01:10:36,263
Look, old friend... Will you...will
you put that mouthpiece away?
787
01:10:36,323 --> 01:10:39,153
Somehow I...I still believe they go off!
788
01:10:39,926 --> 01:10:42,669
And, Samson my cat, you remember my cat?
789
01:10:44,180 --> 01:10:46,439
He's not feeling too good again.
790
01:10:46,949 --> 01:10:49,545
You stay careful and
nothing will happen.
791
01:10:49,605 --> 01:10:53,110
Oh sure. Sure, Eddie. You're
talking to Petey, remember?
792
01:10:53,340 --> 01:10:55,746
Any objections to my moving in with you?
793
01:10:56,025 --> 01:10:58,416
I'll be gone, tomorrow or the next day.
794
01:10:58,476 --> 01:11:01,771
Oh, me? Turn away practically,
my own flesh and blood?
795
01:11:03,341 --> 01:11:04,822
Relax, Eddie.
796
01:11:08,491 --> 01:11:11,308
There you are, Eddie. Nothing's
too good for you.
797
01:11:12,355 --> 01:11:16,154
How about some food, Petey?
I haven't eaten all night.
798
01:11:16,536 --> 01:11:18,370
You haven't changed a bit.
799
01:11:18,590 --> 01:11:20,086
Always hungry!
800
01:11:20,146 --> 01:11:22,022
Still tied up with Vince?
801
01:11:24,002 --> 01:11:27,670
I do a little private eyeing on the side.
A job here, a job there.
802
01:11:28,007 --> 01:11:29,284
Nothing big.
803
01:11:31,150 --> 01:11:32,705
I'll telephone.
804
01:11:43,749 --> 01:11:47,358
Hello, friend? Petey! I got
a special customer.
805
01:11:47,828 --> 01:11:49,852
Yeah. Yeah, an old one.
806
01:11:50,881 --> 01:11:54,094
How about sending something over?
He's tired and hungry.
807
01:11:54,813 --> 01:11:56,778
A pot of coffee and a sandwich.
808
01:11:56,969 --> 01:11:58,011
Turkey.
809
01:11:58,266 --> 01:11:59,352
Tongue
810
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:01,684
Egg salad combination.
811
01:12:02,638 --> 01:12:04,442
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
812
01:12:05,543 --> 01:12:06,863
You got it.
813
01:12:12,752 --> 01:12:16,068
You see, Eddie? Everything's
just like old times.
814
01:12:16,655 --> 01:12:18,474
If you say so, Petey.
815
01:12:20,114 --> 01:12:21,948
I'm gettin' kinda sleepy.
816
01:12:22,271 --> 01:12:25,308
You just make yourself at home,
food will be along pretty soon.
817
01:12:25,368 --> 01:12:28,183
Vince has gotten to be a big
man the last five years.
818
01:12:28,675 --> 01:12:31,168
I'm really gettin' pretty tired, friend.
819
01:12:31,228 --> 01:12:33,457
Why don't you bring me
up to date, Petey?
820
01:12:33,517 --> 01:12:35,247
I'm really awful tired, friend!
821
01:12:35,307 --> 01:12:37,501
How long will it take Vince to get here?
822
01:12:37,971 --> 01:12:40,861
Eddie...Eddie, you...you embarrass me.
823
01:12:41,135 --> 01:12:43,834
I'll kill you if you don't give
it to me straight, Petey!
824
01:12:43,894 --> 01:12:47,047
Eddie...Eddie, don't talk like that.
Samson's sick!
825
01:12:47,543 --> 01:12:50,403
I'm telling you, Eddie!
-What are you telling me? How long?
826
01:12:50,463 --> 01:12:53,557
Five minutes? Ten? Fifteen minutes?
Twenty minutes?
827
01:12:54,096 --> 01:12:57,015
About...about fifteen minutes, Eddie.
828
01:12:57,323 --> 01:13:00,902
Vince puts you on the spot!
He's that way with all the boys!
829
01:13:01,162 --> 01:13:04,781
Blow Eddie! Take me with you.
You and me was always friends!
830
01:13:04,841 --> 01:13:08,273
You just stay in front of me and keep your
mouth shut and you won't get into trouble.
831
01:13:08,333 --> 01:13:11,265
Sure, Eddie! You got nothing
to worry about from me.
832
01:13:11,325 --> 01:13:14,361
Just stay my friend, Petey.
-Yeah, Eddie.
833
01:13:27,837 --> 01:13:29,935
You're retired, you can go home now.
834
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:32,601
Your friend want a ride?
-Not tonight.
835
01:13:34,995 --> 01:13:36,151
$2.80
836
01:13:36,711 --> 01:13:39,616
This will get you a thousand.
Come on, Petey.
837
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,005
Take care of Petey.
838
01:15:45,187 --> 01:15:46,434
Eddie!
839
01:15:46,625 --> 01:15:48,165
Let's get out of here!
840
01:15:49,661 --> 01:15:51,158
Go ahead, Petey.
841
01:15:51,610 --> 01:15:52,974
Thanks, Eddie.
842
01:15:54,148 --> 01:15:55,615
They're coming!
843
01:18:02,988 --> 01:18:04,191
Eddie.
844
01:18:04,792 --> 01:18:06,274
Can you hear me?
845
01:18:09,079 --> 01:18:10,898
We can make a break.
846
01:18:11,558 --> 01:18:13,319
Cover for each other.
847
01:18:14,096 --> 01:18:15,739
I got a place.
848
01:18:17,148 --> 01:18:18,820
You and me, Eddie.
849
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,342
We'll start up again.
850
01:18:22,914 --> 01:18:25,056
Just like old times.
851
01:18:30,072 --> 01:18:31,671
I got money, Eddie.
852
01:18:32,992 --> 01:18:34,327
Big money!
853
01:18:37,521 --> 01:18:39,355
Samson! Samson!
854
01:18:39,986 --> 01:18:41,159
Samson!
855
01:18:43,096 --> 01:18:44,841
Petey! Come back!
856
01:18:46,807 --> 01:18:47,908
Samson.
857
01:18:48,318 --> 01:18:50,446
Samson, baby. Samson.
858
01:19:47,773 --> 01:19:50,091
Riccardi! Alexander!
859
01:19:50,292 --> 01:19:53,813
We'll give you three minutes to come out.
We're gonna start counting.
860
01:19:54,135 --> 01:19:57,920
At the end of three minutes if you're
not out, we're coming to get you!
861
01:19:58,429 --> 01:20:00,600
This is your last chance, Eddie.
862
01:20:01,862 --> 01:20:04,121
There's just you and me left now.
863
01:20:04,181 --> 01:20:05,676
No deal, Vince.
864
01:20:06,455 --> 01:20:08,538
I know you killed Joe Williams.
865
01:20:08,978 --> 01:20:10,357
Okay...
866
01:20:11,516 --> 01:20:13,071
No deals.
867
01:21:51,795 --> 01:21:54,993
We want you, Riccardi..
Alive, Alexander!
868
01:21:55,595 --> 01:21:58,646
If you're in there and not wounded,
bring Riccardi out.
869
01:21:59,653 --> 01:22:03,761
You, Riccardi! If you're alone, come
out with your hands in the air!
870
01:22:06,712 --> 01:22:09,176
Here's when you and I part company.
871
01:22:09,396 --> 01:22:12,081
You're gonna get paid off in full.
872
01:22:41,345 --> 01:22:43,574
Thanks for bringing him out, Vince.
873
01:22:43,853 --> 01:22:47,169
Now, drop your gun.
I said drop your gun, Vince!
874
01:22:49,233 --> 01:22:51,932
Eddie will take what I
got first, Anderson!
875
01:22:54,015 --> 01:22:56,568
All police officers hold your fire!
876
01:22:57,552 --> 01:22:59,532
Don't be crazy, Alexander.
877
01:22:59,899 --> 01:23:02,774
There have been enough people killed.
Give yourself up.
878
01:23:02,834 --> 01:23:04,491
No bargains, Anderson!
879
01:23:04,551 --> 01:23:06,487
You want Riccardi alive...
880
01:23:06,547 --> 01:23:07,866
I want out!
881
01:23:07,926 --> 01:23:10,682
What guarantee have I got that
you won't kill Riccardi?
882
01:23:10,742 --> 01:23:13,250
You don't!
-Be sensible, Alexander.
883
01:23:13,979 --> 01:23:16,854
If we let you out now,
we'll get you later.
884
01:23:17,089 --> 01:23:19,040
You'll be dead before morning.
885
01:23:19,245 --> 01:23:21,930
You got 30 seconds to make
up your mind, Anderson!
886
01:23:22,688 --> 01:23:24,053
I go...
887
01:23:24,361 --> 01:23:26,415
or Riccardi gets it in the back!
888
01:23:29,595 --> 01:23:31,388
Sat down, Eddie! Don't move!
889
01:24:05,464 --> 01:24:06,711
Is he dead?
890
01:24:06,771 --> 01:24:09,234
He will be if we don't get
him to a hospital.
891
01:24:15,716 --> 01:24:19,090
That taxi driver must have really
gotten to you in a hurry.
892
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,980
He did, asking for a $1000 reward.
893
01:24:22,337 --> 01:24:26,826
And all the questions you want to ask...
I called Dr Kemble from San Francisco.
894
01:24:27,149 --> 01:24:31,242
We knew Vince killed Jow Williams,
we found his blood on Joe's clothing.
895
01:24:31,604 --> 01:24:34,435
It matched up with our
lab files, yours didn't.
896
01:24:34,740 --> 01:24:37,351
And, Hazel told us the truth about Coke.
897
01:24:37,747 --> 01:24:41,254
Now, just get well. We'll finish
our business later.
898
01:24:42,217 --> 01:24:43,391
Nina...
899
01:24:43,451 --> 01:24:45,782
She's fine...in the waiting room.
900
01:25:05,063 --> 01:25:08,173
You shouldn't kiss a guy like
that when he's sick in bed.
901
01:25:10,205 --> 01:25:14,254
Well, I've been waiting outside all the
time. They wouldn't tell me anything.
902
01:25:14,314 --> 01:25:15,970
I was afraid...
903
01:25:17,151 --> 01:25:18,647
It's all right.
904
01:25:19,674 --> 01:25:21,170
We'll go away.
905
01:25:21,230 --> 01:25:24,222
We'll find that...crazy world of yours.
906
01:25:25,698 --> 01:25:27,151
Sure.
907
01:25:30,408 --> 01:25:32,373
There's only one thing...
908
01:25:33,675 --> 01:25:35,494
You'll always be...
909
01:25:35,758 --> 01:25:37,298
Eddie Rice.
910
01:25:38,853 --> 01:25:40,540
For the rest of my life.
911
01:25:40,990 --> 01:25:43,059
I have the doc's word for him.
912
01:25:44,673 --> 01:25:46,110
Come here.

After sustaining a head wound in combat, decorated World War II veteran Eddie Rice (John Payne) is treated at a San Francisco military hospital for a permanent form of amnesia. This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.
Rice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely.

1
00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556
This is the Letterman General Hosiptal
at San Francisco, California.
2
00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219
For those outside these gates the
war is over, a thing of the past.
3
00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888
For those behind these gates there's a
grim, hard, bitter fight still going on.
4
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518
Take one case, the case
of Eddie Rice, age 33.
5
00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206
Enlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.
Holder of the Silver Star, but today...
6
00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026
A name and date number, a medical file.
For five years a chart on a hospital bed.
7
00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340
A victim of amnesia.
A mind with a blocked out past.
8
00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127
Where were you born, Eddie?
Who are your parents?
9
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912
Any brothers? Sisters?
10
00:01:54,277 --> 00:01:58,775
Where did you go to school?
What's your trade? Profession?
11
00:01:59,433 --> 00:02:01,748
Are you rich?
Poor?
12
00:02:02,051 --> 00:02:03,689
Got a girl?
13
00:02:03,915 --> 00:02:05,289
Married?
14
00:02:05,349 --> 00:02:06,869
I don't know.
15
00:02:07,378 --> 00:02:09,015
I don't know!
16
00:02:09,824 --> 00:02:11,537
I can't remember.
17
00:02:12,444 --> 00:02:14,571
I just can't remember, doctor.
18
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:30,922
You had me open. What did you quit for?
-We did the best we could, Eddie.
19
00:02:31,218 --> 00:02:33,439
It'll just have to stay there.
20
00:02:34,606 --> 00:02:38,483
Is that final?
-Unless you want your name on a headstone.
21
00:02:38,543 --> 00:02:43,592
That shrapnel's too deep in your brain.
Scar tissue has grown all around it.
22
00:02:43,652 --> 00:02:46,980
Believe me, we tried.
-Yeah, I guess you did.
23
00:02:48,391 --> 00:02:52,551
Where do I go from here?
-Eddie, there are two kinds of amnesia:
24
00:02:52,611 --> 00:02:54,895
psychological and organic.
25
00:02:55,178 --> 00:03:00,240
The psychological form is temporary, but
it can be cured through psychotherapy.
26
00:03:01,016 --> 00:03:03,876
Yours is organic, it's permanent.
27
00:03:04,347 --> 00:03:07,772
That piece of steel in your brain
has blocked out your memory.
28
00:03:07,832 --> 00:03:10,863
Which doesn't leave me much
of a future, does it?
29
00:03:10,923 --> 00:03:15,071
Of course it does, physically
you're normal and healthy.
30
00:03:15,131 --> 00:03:17,771
You've received the maximum
medical benefits
31
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:22,559
You've completed training courses that make
you fit to hold down a job and face life.
32
00:03:23,499 --> 00:03:26,540
With no address, no next
of kin, nothing.
33
00:03:27,489 --> 00:03:29,567
Enlisted from Los Angeles...
34
00:03:29,627 --> 00:03:32,397
Intelligence ran that down
for us, remember?
35
00:03:32,867 --> 00:03:35,818
Oh sure, there were a lot of
people named Rice there...
36
00:03:36,026 --> 00:03:37,682
but not this Eddie Rice.
37
00:03:37,742 --> 00:03:41,777
But, Army Intelligence didn't mow
Los Angeles lawns as a kid, Eddie.
38
00:03:41,837 --> 00:03:44,292
They didn't trade at the corner market.
39
00:03:44,352 --> 00:03:48,775
They didn't work with people in a factory,
in an office, as you might have done.
40
00:03:48,986 --> 00:03:50,136
Now...
41
00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:54,081
If you went down there...and ran
into somebody who knew you,
42
00:03:54,141 --> 00:03:55,918
just one person...
43
00:03:56,384 --> 00:03:57,694
Yes...
44
00:03:58,992 --> 00:04:01,702
If I ran into just one person
who knew me.
45
00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:03,689
One guy...
46
00:04:04,785 --> 00:04:07,149
Who would come up to me and say:
47
00:04:07,616 --> 00:04:08,775
"Eddie."
48
00:04:08,986 --> 00:04:10,491
"Eddie Rice."
49
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:12,253
"How have you been?"
50
00:04:12,581 --> 00:04:14,132
"Where have you been?"
51
00:04:14,192 --> 00:04:15,577
That's it, Eddie.
52
00:04:15,637 --> 00:04:18,766
And then, they'd tell me about
someone else I used to know.
53
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:21,626
And, I'd meet somebody else.
54
00:04:22,635 --> 00:04:24,141
And another...
55
00:04:25,342 --> 00:04:26,908
And another...
56
00:04:57,774 --> 00:05:00,996
<i>Sure, it scares you to go out into
a world you don't remember...</i>
57
00:05:01,484 --> 00:05:02,959
<i>but you're here now.</i>
58
00:05:03,742 --> 00:05:05,473
<i>It'll be a new life.</i>
59
00:05:05,805 --> 00:05:07,295
<i>A new start.</i>
60
00:05:08,231 --> 00:05:10,189
<i>Find yourself a place to live.</i>
61
00:05:10,957 --> 00:05:12,613
<i>Get yourself a job.</i>
62
00:05:13,290 --> 00:05:14,540
<i>Get going.</i>
63
00:05:15,353 --> 00:05:16,919
<i>Get going, Eddie!</i>
64
00:05:19,198 --> 00:05:20,357
Eddie!
65
00:05:20,417 --> 00:05:22,736
You know, it's a small world, Eddie.
66
00:05:22,796 --> 00:05:25,266
We came down here to pick
up a little of one thing,
67
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:28,650
and we ran into a little of another!
-A lot of us thought you were dead.
68
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:32,851
Yes, and...those that didn't hoped you
were. What are you doing in town?
69
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,642
I'm just in from San Francisco.
70
00:05:36,702 --> 00:05:40,060
I didn't ask you that.
-He asked you what you were doing in town.
71
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,354
I cam here to look up some...people.
72
00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:45,989
Funny, I...I had a feeling that was it.
73
00:05:46,049 --> 00:05:48,443
Anderson one of them?
-Anderson?
74
00:05:49,719 --> 00:05:50,698
Maybe.
75
00:05:50,758 --> 00:05:54,251
I think you're lying, Eddie. I don't think you
were gonna look up Anderson at all.
76
00:05:54,311 --> 00:05:57,458
Barrett, do you think he was gonna
look up Anderson? -No, Joe.
77
00:05:57,699 --> 00:06:00,108
Not Anderson.
-I'll tell you what...
78
00:06:00,168 --> 00:06:02,737
I got a car and nothing
to do for a while...
79
00:06:02,797 --> 00:06:05,478
Let's go see Anderson together.
Any objections?
80
00:06:07,616 --> 00:06:09,016
No objections.
81
00:06:09,076 --> 00:06:11,256
Stick around, Kelly may still show.
82
00:06:11,452 --> 00:06:12,506
Let's go.
83
00:06:35,122 --> 00:06:37,667
'Honorable discharge of Edward Rice.'
84
00:06:41,972 --> 00:06:43,568
What's the gimmick?
85
00:06:44,110 --> 00:06:46,399
If you'd put away your blackjacks
long enough
86
00:06:46,459 --> 00:06:48,431
maybe I could get it through
your heads that...
87
00:06:48,491 --> 00:06:50,714
I don't know what you're talking about.
88
00:06:50,774 --> 00:06:52,912
You got yourself a sense
of humor, Eddie.
89
00:06:52,972 --> 00:06:56,010
You think you come back here with
a dumb look and a Silver Star...
90
00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:58,958
That changes a no good heel?
-But, I'm trying to tell you that...
91
00:06:59,018 --> 00:07:01,382
You don't have to tell us
anything about yourself.
92
00:07:01,442 --> 00:07:03,881
We got it all down in black and white.
93
00:07:06,019 --> 00:07:07,630
Read it, Riccardi.
94
00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:09,313
We didn't dream it up.
95
00:07:09,795 --> 00:07:12,355
Possession of a weapon
with intent to kill.
96
00:07:12,882 --> 00:07:14,553
Suspicion of murder.
97
00:07:17,184 --> 00:07:18,566
<i>Riccardi...</i>
98
00:07:19,274 --> 00:07:20,960
<i>Eddie Riccardi.</i>
99
00:07:21,638 --> 00:07:25,236
<i>That's not me, it can't be.
It only looks like me!</i>
100
00:07:26,348 --> 00:07:29,103
<i>I better get out of here!
I've got to get out!</i>
101
00:07:29,163 --> 00:07:33,093
Five years ago we hustled you out of town,
for good. Now what are you here for?
102
00:07:34,253 --> 00:07:35,939
<i>You've got to play ball.</i>
103
00:07:35,999 --> 00:07:39,153
<i>You need time. You need more
time to find out about yourself.</i>
104
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,894
Riccardi's just playing dumb, Captain.
105
00:07:42,556 --> 00:07:44,122
Put him in the lockup.
106
00:07:44,498 --> 00:07:47,085
I'm finding about these...
discharge papers.
107
00:07:47,145 --> 00:07:49,358
If they're phonies, we'll pin a
real one on him.
108
00:07:49,418 --> 00:07:50,999
Just a minute, Lieutenant.
109
00:07:52,426 --> 00:07:56,627
I guess, maybe I didn't want the army
to know about Eddie...Riccardi.
110
00:07:57,317 --> 00:08:00,133
The only friends I have
know me as Eddie Rice.
111
00:08:00,916 --> 00:08:02,813
I'd like to keep it that way.
112
00:08:03,219 --> 00:08:05,945
That's probably the first honest
thing you've ever said.
113
00:08:06,005 --> 00:08:07,537
Pick up your things.
114
00:08:10,967 --> 00:08:14,008
Be Eddie Rice in some other
town, but not here.
115
00:08:14,068 --> 00:08:18,540
Now, we can't hold you, but...you step
out of line once and we step on you.
116
00:08:26,034 --> 00:08:28,278
Notice anything different
about him, Williams?
117
00:08:28,338 --> 00:08:31,138
Nothing! If Riccardi stays in town
there's gonna be trouble.
118
00:08:31,198 --> 00:08:34,210
I don't know. He had a strange
look about him.
119
00:08:34,667 --> 00:08:37,934
Send to Washington for a complete
report on Edward Rice.
120
00:08:37,994 --> 00:08:40,870
That Silver Star, you really
do something to get one.
121
00:08:40,930 --> 00:08:43,686
Yeah, buy it in a pawn
shop for two bits.
122
00:09:01,270 --> 00:09:04,944
Nina, my sweet!
My beautiful, lovely...
123
00:09:05,004 --> 00:09:07,609
All right, Nick! Let's keep
it all business.
124
00:09:10,063 --> 00:09:13,240
Who is it this time?
-Petey. Suspicion of robbery.
125
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:16,251
Get him out before they start
shifting him around. -Petey?
126
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:17,588
Him?
127
00:09:17,648 --> 00:09:19,726
He wouldn't steal his own shadow.
128
00:09:19,786 --> 00:09:22,056
That was William's gag to get
him out of the way.
129
00:09:22,116 --> 00:09:25,670
I wouldn't know. Bail's $1000.
-Inflation!
130
00:09:25,730 --> 00:09:27,823
That's the whole trouble these days.
131
00:09:28,847 --> 00:09:30,714
Alexander, he unhappy?
132
00:09:31,252 --> 00:09:34,188
Nick. Keep your mind on your business.
133
00:09:34,248 --> 00:09:36,233
Let Vince worry about his, huh?
134
00:09:36,293 --> 00:09:39,259
Sure, beautiful Sure.
Forget I mentioned it.
135
00:09:53,907 --> 00:09:55,970
Take my advice, you leave town.
136
00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:57,837
I've got things to do.
137
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,125
Adios, boy! You're on your own.
138
00:10:04,466 --> 00:10:05,941
Kelly never showed.
139
00:10:06,001 --> 00:10:07,071
Odd.
140
00:10:07,131 --> 00:10:08,606
We'll hear from him.
141
00:10:18,132 --> 00:10:20,074
One of the usual fronts?
142
00:10:21,098 --> 00:10:24,064
You have a lot of Jane Does, Nick.
Use one of them.
143
00:10:26,732 --> 00:10:28,328
Of course, there's a big difference
144
00:10:28,388 --> 00:10:30,617
between the Florida oranges
and the California oranges.
145
00:10:30,677 --> 00:10:33,131
At least that's what the Chamber
of Commerce in Florida says.
146
00:10:33,191 --> 00:10:35,661
And the Chamber of Commerce
in California says...
147
00:10:35,872 --> 00:10:37,874
Orange juice, please.
-Yes, ma'am.
148
00:10:41,153 --> 00:10:42,388
Eddie.
149
00:10:44,691 --> 00:10:47,281
I thought it was you from
across the street.
150
00:10:48,856 --> 00:10:49,940
Hello.
151
00:10:51,204 --> 00:10:53,794
Is that the only thing
you've got to say?
152
00:10:54,110 --> 00:10:56,640
Well, there's a lot more
I could say, but...
153
00:10:57,107 --> 00:10:58,311
but you...
154
00:10:59,299 --> 00:11:00,609
Let's see...
155
00:11:01,814 --> 00:11:03,425
Nacy Morgan?
156
00:11:03,711 --> 00:11:05,051
Nora Murphy?
157
00:11:05,292 --> 00:11:09,176
No, you don't look like Nora Murphy.
-What'd you come back for, Eddie?
158
00:11:10,216 --> 00:11:12,610
A man has a right to come
home, hasn't he?
159
00:11:14,552 --> 00:11:17,699
My car is across the street,
I'll take you there.
160
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:18,994
Sure!
161
00:11:19,175 --> 00:11:20,228
Thanks.
162
00:11:45,318 --> 00:11:47,089
Vince know you're back?
163
00:11:47,149 --> 00:11:48,360
Vince?
164
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,025
Should he?
165
00:11:51,762 --> 00:11:53,419
You oughta know.
166
00:12:02,797 --> 00:12:04,499
Thanks for the lift.
167
00:12:07,503 --> 00:12:08,828
Coming in?
168
00:12:09,264 --> 00:12:11,447
Who said this was the end of the road?
169
00:12:12,833 --> 00:12:15,091
Who's complaining? Not me.
170
00:12:40,205 --> 00:12:41,530
Checking in?
171
00:12:41,771 --> 00:12:42,870
Long?
172
00:12:44,466 --> 00:12:45,896
I don't know yet.
173
00:12:46,739 --> 00:12:48,019
Alone?
174
00:12:48,648 --> 00:12:49,672
Yes.
175
00:12:52,517 --> 00:12:55,393
Edward Rice...San Francisco.
176
00:12:58,702 --> 00:13:00,042
304.
177
00:13:03,234 --> 00:13:06,757
I'll throw the stuff in the room and
be right back. -If you say so.
178
00:13:29,744 --> 00:13:32,665
Hello? hello, this is Nina.
I want to talk to Vince.
179
00:13:32,725 --> 00:13:33,885
He's busy.
180
00:13:33,945 --> 00:13:36,203
Not too busy for what
I've got to tell him.
181
00:13:36,263 --> 00:13:37,479
<i>He's not here.</i>
182
00:13:37,539 --> 00:13:41,379
Look, let's not keep where he is a
secret it might upset your whole future.
183
00:13:41,439 --> 00:13:42,945
Put me through to him!
184
00:13:55,033 --> 00:13:56,719
You talk too much.
185
00:13:57,397 --> 00:13:59,189
Another treatment, Kelly?
186
00:14:00,453 --> 00:14:01,603
Any...
187
00:14:02,265 --> 00:14:04,750
Any second...breaks, Vince?
188
00:14:06,993 --> 00:14:09,176
I'm easy to do business with.
189
00:14:10,165 --> 00:14:11,520
If you talk...
190
00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:12,830
you live.
191
00:14:14,034 --> 00:14:16,865
All i want to hear is your
angle with Joe Williams.
192
00:14:19,271 --> 00:14:22,463
Give him a cigarette, Danny.
It'll relax him.
193
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:30,609
I'm...trusting you, Vince.
194
00:14:30,834 --> 00:14:32,792
Sure. Sure, Kelly.
195
00:14:33,474 --> 00:14:35,612
I told you we'd turn you loose.
196
00:14:35,672 --> 00:14:37,388
You understand how I...
197
00:14:37,569 --> 00:14:40,942
How a guy feels when he's been
kicked out of the organization?
198
00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:43,633
I know...
199
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:47,533
I shouldn't of been a sucker and
told Williams about the...
200
00:14:48,253 --> 00:14:50,828
...about the silver dollar.
-Forget that.
201
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,915
What did you tell him about this?
-Nothing!
202
00:14:56,455 --> 00:14:58,201
Nothing much, really.
203
00:14:59,044 --> 00:15:01,755
Vince!
-What did you tell him, Kelly?
204
00:15:01,815 --> 00:15:03,185
Really, Vince...
205
00:15:03,381 --> 00:15:04,931
Nothing important.
206
00:15:05,688 --> 00:15:06,757
Just...
207
00:15:07,178 --> 00:15:08,970
a little of this and...
208
00:15:09,527 --> 00:15:11,304
that about the...
209
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,532
about the slot machines and...
210
00:15:14,315 --> 00:15:16,333
and the take. But, I...
211
00:15:16,787 --> 00:15:18,564
I phonied the figures.
212
00:15:19,403 --> 00:15:22,550
Honest I did.
-These figures aren't phoney.
213
00:15:22,836 --> 00:15:24,447
Where'd you get 'em?
214
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,684
Snatched them out of your safe, Vince.
215
00:15:31,219 --> 00:15:33,192
Williams is waiting for 'em.
216
00:15:33,535 --> 00:15:37,359
He was going to bundle me out of town,
bring me back for the trial.
217
00:15:38,696 --> 00:15:42,083
But, I was gonna duck.
They never would of found me.
218
00:15:44,568 --> 00:15:46,480
That's the truth, Vince!
219
00:15:54,771 --> 00:15:56,021
Hello.
220
00:15:56,788 --> 00:15:58,264
Hello, Nina.
221
00:16:02,956 --> 00:16:05,242
You sure it's him?
-I was with him!
222
00:16:05,302 --> 00:16:08,524
First I saw him outside police
headquarters talking to Joe Williams,
223
00:16:08,584 --> 00:16:10,466
then I drove him to the Cortez.
224
00:16:10,689 --> 00:16:14,362
He cked in under the name
of Eddie Rice, room 304.
225
00:16:14,422 --> 00:16:15,552
Thanks.
226
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:37,164
You still want to take that trip, Kelly?
227
00:16:39,317 --> 00:16:41,560
You don't have to worry about me, Vince.
228
00:16:42,019 --> 00:16:43,028
Don.
229
00:16:44,194 --> 00:16:45,820
Big mouth Kelly.
230
00:16:46,257 --> 00:16:48,832
You think what he's got
may be contagious?
231
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:50,563
Very...catchy.
232
00:16:51,562 --> 00:16:54,648
What's your opinion, Don?
-Very, definitely.
233
00:16:56,621 --> 00:16:58,283
What can I do?
234
00:16:59,322 --> 00:17:01,686
The consultation's in agreement.
235
00:17:04,595 --> 00:17:05,769
Kelly!
236
00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:07,380
You're dead!
237
00:17:09,097 --> 00:17:10,527
Oh, and Kelly...
238
00:17:10,774 --> 00:17:14,749
When you get to where you're going,
have 'em give you a nice, even burn.
239
00:17:14,809 --> 00:17:17,579
Don't let them just fry you on one side.
240
00:18:01,054 --> 00:18:05,210
I'm sorry to bother you again, but..
has there been any sign of the girl yet?
241
00:18:07,876 --> 00:18:09,051
Thanks.
242
00:18:40,394 --> 00:18:42,743
Don't you believe in knocking on doors?
243
00:18:43,857 --> 00:18:45,814
Who are you? What do you want?
244
00:19:00,538 --> 00:19:02,661
So, that's where you've been hold up...
245
00:19:02,932 --> 00:19:04,498
Eddie Rice!
246
00:19:05,181 --> 00:19:08,990
No wonder I couldn't get a line on you.
Are you back sightseeing?
247
00:19:09,378 --> 00:19:10,854
Mr Rice?
248
00:19:13,052 --> 00:19:15,326
This supposed to be a free country?
249
00:19:15,684 --> 00:19:17,250
Free town?
250
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:18,951
Open to anyone?
251
00:19:19,011 --> 00:19:20,366
Not with me in it.
252
00:19:20,635 --> 00:19:23,240
You didn't waste much time
picking up with the cops.
253
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:27,395
Why should it worry you about
me talking to Williams?
254
00:19:27,455 --> 00:19:29,274
You've got me confused, Eddie.
255
00:19:29,771 --> 00:19:33,460
Only a sucker would walk back in
town after the deal you pulled.
256
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,979
Some things a fella has to...
257
00:19:37,401 --> 00:19:39,102
find out for himself.
258
00:19:40,096 --> 00:19:41,948
Not about you and me.
259
00:19:50,768 --> 00:19:53,283
I've been saving this for five years.
260
00:19:54,021 --> 00:19:57,378
Everyone in life has his bible,
this is mine.
261
00:19:58,978 --> 00:20:03,661
I take it out and read it every day. I read
it to remind me of a guy I grew up with.
262
00:20:03,917 --> 00:20:05,648
Got shoved around with.
263
00:20:06,277 --> 00:20:08,566
We used to take a lot of raps together.
264
00:20:09,439 --> 00:20:13,143
Some people would call a guy
like that a...a loyal friend.
265
00:20:13,968 --> 00:20:15,353
He was.
266
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:22,050
Until he turned into a dirty stool pigeon,
and let me take the rap for him!
267
00:20:38,866 --> 00:20:40,070
Eddie...
268
00:20:41,380 --> 00:20:42,811
Riccardi?
269
00:20:43,025 --> 00:20:47,105
My good friend who sold me out
to a cop named Joe Williams!
270
00:20:58,268 --> 00:21:00,541
Don't mess up his face too much.
271
00:21:03,876 --> 00:21:05,909
I ought to kill you, Eddie.
272
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:08,709
But, you're not worth taking
another rap for!
273
00:21:08,769 --> 00:21:11,058
In 24 hours...disappear!
274
00:21:11,935 --> 00:21:15,006
Otherwise, I might be tempted
to change my mind!
275
00:21:15,624 --> 00:21:17,205
Give him some air!
276
00:22:11,865 --> 00:22:14,153
<i>Why didn't the girl come back?</i>
277
00:22:15,523 --> 00:22:17,812
<i>What did she know about me?</i>
278
00:22:18,730 --> 00:22:20,808
<i>Why did she bring me here?</i>
279
00:22:21,847 --> 00:22:23,111
<i>Vince...</i>
280
00:22:24,060 --> 00:22:26,123
<i>Why didn't Vince kill me?</i>
281
00:22:27,402 --> 00:22:29,450
<i>Maybe I deserved it.</i>
282
00:22:30,625 --> 00:22:33,140
<i>Maybe Dr Kemble ought to know?</i>
283
00:22:34,224 --> 00:22:36,051
<i>I better tell him.</i>
284
00:22:37,226 --> 00:22:39,033
<i>I better call him.</i>
285
00:22:40,328 --> 00:22:41,908
<i>I better...</i>
286
00:22:44,659 --> 00:22:45,879
Hello.
287
00:22:46,391 --> 00:22:50,456
I want to put through a call, person
to person. Dr Kemble...
288
00:22:50,652 --> 00:22:53,392
Letterman Genral Hospital,
San Francisco.
289
00:22:54,435 --> 00:22:56,091
K-E-M-B-L-E
290
00:22:57,411 --> 00:22:58,736
Thank you.
291
00:23:14,170 --> 00:23:15,961
Hello, Dr Kemble?
292
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,812
When do you expect him back?
293
00:23:19,219 --> 00:23:20,920
Not till tomorrow?
294
00:23:22,121 --> 00:23:24,500
Never mind, I'll see him personally.
295
00:24:15,503 --> 00:24:18,780
Forget about Union Station.
Take me to 7 Braxton Avenue.
296
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:30,476
Wait for me.
297
00:24:51,762 --> 00:24:53,961
Thanks a lot Lou, for driving me home.
298
00:24:54,021 --> 00:24:57,393
Just a minute, darling.
I'll walk to the door with you.
299
00:24:58,990 --> 00:25:02,378
It's early, Nina. A little drink for
a nightcap won't hurt you.
300
00:25:02,589 --> 00:25:04,456
That's what you think.
301
00:25:04,516 --> 00:25:07,825
You could make me forget that
thousand I dropped tonight, Nina.
302
00:25:07,885 --> 00:25:11,182
I can forget a lot of things, Lou.
You, for instance.
303
00:25:11,242 --> 00:25:13,633
Good night.
-Just a minute, baby.
304
00:25:13,693 --> 00:25:16,328
I'd like a little receipt
for that grand.
305
00:25:19,246 --> 00:25:20,827
That's better.
306
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:25,539
That's your receipt. Good night.
307
00:25:45,117 --> 00:25:46,758
Now listen...
308
00:25:50,045 --> 00:25:51,461
Go ahead.
309
00:25:51,521 --> 00:25:53,237
Take a good look.
310
00:25:53,629 --> 00:25:58,055
If you came to tell me how Vince welcomed
you back, you've said it. So, goodbye!
311
00:25:58,673 --> 00:26:02,272
I want to know what you had
to do with me...in my life.
312
00:26:04,596 --> 00:26:06,057
And this.
313
00:26:10,473 --> 00:26:12,160
December the 24th,
314
00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:13,801
1943.
315
00:26:14,162 --> 00:26:16,120
Ah, that was a lovely Christmas.
316
00:26:16,903 --> 00:26:19,041
One I'll never forget.
317
00:26:24,136 --> 00:26:26,380
Only one of your presents!
318
00:26:29,297 --> 00:26:33,664
Sure, I told Vince Alexander
you're back. I work for him.
319
00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:39,946
This clipping...
320
00:26:40,955 --> 00:26:45,366
Why couldn't you testify at the trial?
-Oh, no routines, I've heard them all.
321
00:26:48,454 --> 00:26:51,436
Listen to me!
I'm just out of an army hospital
322
00:26:51,496 --> 00:26:54,507
with a piece of steel in my head
and no memory to go with it.
323
00:26:54,567 --> 00:26:57,756
I'm here to find out about myself and
I'm getting answers the hard way!
324
00:26:57,816 --> 00:27:00,677
I don't know you, Vince Alexander...
325
00:27:00,737 --> 00:27:05,055
or anybody called Eddie Riccardi!
All I know is one person, Eddie Rice! Me!
326
00:27:07,178 --> 00:27:09,391
You're the last person I can turn to.
327
00:27:10,472 --> 00:27:12,263
Please believe me.
328
00:27:12,850 --> 00:27:14,115
Help me.
329
00:27:16,584 --> 00:27:19,039
That's a very touching speech.
330
00:27:21,477 --> 00:27:23,901
You lost your memory.
331
00:27:24,564 --> 00:27:28,298
You don't know why I couldn't
testify at the trial.
332
00:27:28,529 --> 00:27:32,067
You've forgotten how you used me to
make sure Vince would go to prison
333
00:27:32,127 --> 00:27:33,829
so you'd be set free.
334
00:27:33,889 --> 00:27:37,966
But, if you're back to your old tricks
again I've got sad news for you,
335
00:27:38,026 --> 00:27:40,752
I tore up your raincheck
three years ago.
336
00:27:43,494 --> 00:27:45,587
I'm not your wife anymore.
337
00:28:05,380 --> 00:28:08,090
Now to the station?
-Back to the hotel.
338
00:28:47,065 --> 00:28:49,579
You act like a cop that just
lost a conviction?
339
00:28:49,639 --> 00:28:52,877
Maybe I have, take a look at these.
Fresh out of the photo lab.
340
00:28:54,339 --> 00:28:56,808
Sharks don't talk, the
fingerprints spell Kelly.
341
00:28:56,868 --> 00:28:59,413
The Coroner said he was dead two
hours before he hit the water.
342
00:28:59,473 --> 00:29:01,807
Too bad. With the information
Kelly had for us
343
00:29:01,867 --> 00:29:04,186
we could have put Vince
away for a long stretch.
344
00:29:05,335 --> 00:29:07,066
What's eating you, Joe?
345
00:29:07,563 --> 00:29:09,295
I was a smart cop.
346
00:29:09,355 --> 00:29:12,712
I put Petey away to get him off of
Kelly's tail, and this is what happens.
347
00:29:12,772 --> 00:29:14,594
I feel like I killed Kelly.
348
00:29:14,654 --> 00:29:16,897
Riccardi...think he's tied up in it?
349
00:29:16,957 --> 00:29:19,909
Walking back into town that day
could tie him up in anything.
350
00:29:20,237 --> 00:29:22,706
Is the case my baby?
-All yours.
351
00:29:24,916 --> 00:29:26,301
Now what?
352
00:29:26,361 --> 00:29:28,936
I figure we shouldn't keep
it a secret from Vince.
353
00:29:40,844 --> 00:29:43,087
Only six days in the week now, huh?
354
00:29:43,455 --> 00:29:46,557
How do you like that, the card
must have fell out.
355
00:29:46,617 --> 00:29:48,604
It was there yesterday. Nick...
356
00:29:48,664 --> 00:29:50,125
Who's Jane Doe?
357
00:29:50,185 --> 00:29:52,817
Please, Lieutenant. I don't look
at their birth certificate.
358
00:29:52,877 --> 00:29:55,075
Lots of people don't use
their right names.
359
00:29:55,135 --> 00:29:59,002
With me, a buck is a buck.
I don't ask questions.
360
00:29:59,318 --> 00:30:02,435
Before I'm through, Nick...
you'll be answering a few.
361
00:30:08,026 --> 00:30:12,377
It's gettin' so you can't tail a guy anymore
without having the cops jump on ya.
362
00:30:12,437 --> 00:30:14,666
This town's goin' to the dogs.
363
00:30:14,981 --> 00:30:18,143
Samson and me...
-Petey! Get that cat off the desk!
364
00:30:18,776 --> 00:30:22,133
I was just saying, Samson and
me could stand a vacation.
365
00:30:22,389 --> 00:30:25,340
You want us to blow town?
-That's just what I don't want.
366
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,047
Coke will set you up, and stay quiet!
367
00:30:28,107 --> 00:30:30,667
Well, sure Vince, sure.
Anything you say.
368
00:31:05,567 --> 00:31:06,922
Hello, Danny.
369
00:31:16,370 --> 00:31:18,327
Come in. Come in, Joe.
370
00:31:18,674 --> 00:31:22,543
Pull up a chair and rest your feet.
I hear you've had a busy day.
371
00:31:26,329 --> 00:31:29,099
I figured you would.
I was saving you for last.
372
00:31:30,183 --> 00:31:31,644
Should I...
373
00:31:31,930 --> 00:31:33,993
relax or call in my lawyer?
374
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:36,698
That depends on how nervous you are.
375
00:31:36,758 --> 00:31:39,529
I was always thought nervous
guys bit their nails?
376
00:31:39,589 --> 00:31:41,095
Now, let me see...
377
00:31:41,317 --> 00:31:44,675
Nick was a little bit hazy about
who Jane Doe was.
378
00:31:44,946 --> 00:31:47,144
I thought you might be able to tell me.
379
00:31:47,336 --> 00:31:49,113
Never heard of the girl.
380
00:31:49,173 --> 00:31:50,634
Then there's Petey.
381
00:31:50,694 --> 00:31:54,654
And how certain people got know where
and just when to bail him out.
382
00:31:54,714 --> 00:31:57,014
Now...nobody knows anything.
383
00:31:57,421 --> 00:31:58,912
But, we'll find him.
384
00:31:59,273 --> 00:32:01,863
We;ve got all exits out of town plugged.
385
00:32:03,697 --> 00:32:06,483
And I got a hunch he'll
be real cooperative.
386
00:32:06,769 --> 00:32:08,063
You see...
387
00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:10,698
I don't think he knows
anything about this.
388
00:32:11,090 --> 00:32:12,249
Kelly.
389
00:32:12,798 --> 00:32:15,162
He's gone and gotten himself killed.
390
00:32:15,915 --> 00:32:17,571
Just like Kelly...
391
00:32:17,842 --> 00:32:19,920
You never know what he'll do next.
392
00:32:20,191 --> 00:32:21,983
That goes for a lot of guys.
393
00:32:22,449 --> 00:32:23,910
Take you and...
394
00:32:24,482 --> 00:32:26,529
Then again, take Eddie Riccardi...
395
00:32:26,589 --> 00:32:29,962
You boys forgive and forget,
and back in business again.
396
00:32:31,037 --> 00:32:34,485
You and Riccardi got a lot in common,
why don't you ask him?
397
00:32:34,545 --> 00:32:36,352
At the moment, you're number one.
398
00:32:36,623 --> 00:32:40,281
And, it won't be any...manslaughter
charge and out in two years.
399
00:32:41,076 --> 00:32:43,048
I put you away this time...
400
00:32:43,334 --> 00:32:44,840
it'll be for keeps.
401
00:32:47,035 --> 00:32:50,031
You got all the answers figured
out, haven't you?
402
00:32:50,091 --> 00:32:52,636
I might have, sooner than you think.
403
00:32:53,959 --> 00:32:55,479
So sorry!
404
00:33:35,693 --> 00:33:39,292
Me, I never had a complaint.
You call my old boss.
405
00:33:39,352 --> 00:33:42,115
He'll tell you my bringing in 500
a night at the gambling tables
406
00:33:42,175 --> 00:33:44,344
was a small bag of tell.
407
00:33:45,169 --> 00:33:48,993
Oh, Mr Alexander! I just came in looking
for a job and I was telling Ms Martin...
408
00:33:49,053 --> 00:33:50,378
Get rid of her.
409
00:33:51,278 --> 00:33:55,238
Vince, we need some new talent...
-Okay! Okay! Come back at eight tonight.
410
00:33:55,298 --> 00:33:58,324
She'll tell you what to do.
-Oh, gee! Thanks!
411
00:34:01,806 --> 00:34:03,899
You know Eddie's still in town?
412
00:34:05,013 --> 00:34:06,172
Yes.
413
00:34:06,353 --> 00:34:08,024
Been around to see you?
414
00:34:09,667 --> 00:34:10,796
When?
415
00:34:11,534 --> 00:34:13,266
Late last night.
416
00:34:14,184 --> 00:34:16,548
Did he tell ya I gave him
24 hours to get out?
417
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,249
No.
418
00:34:19,872 --> 00:34:22,793
Well, I changed my mind.
I want him to stay.
419
00:34:23,049 --> 00:34:25,142
I want you to make sure he does stay.
420
00:34:26,876 --> 00:34:29,827
My job's to work the tables
for you here, Vince, and...
421
00:34:30,324 --> 00:34:34,961
I don't even mind setups like the one with
Petey or...other deals like that, but...
422
00:34:36,439 --> 00:34:37,613
Vince...
423
00:34:38,336 --> 00:34:40,534
Stay out of my personal life!
424
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:42,311
Listen you...
425
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,041
When Eddie dropped you, who picked
you up and gave you your health?
426
00:34:46,101 --> 00:34:49,053
Who gave you your job?
Everything you got?
427
00:34:49,459 --> 00:34:51,206
Vince Alexander!
428
00:34:52,806 --> 00:34:54,538
I won't do it, Vince.
429
00:34:54,598 --> 00:34:55,923
Forget Eddie.
430
00:34:55,983 --> 00:34:57,639
When I get through with him.
431
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,717
But, now you're gonna meet him.
432
00:35:00,715 --> 00:35:03,440
And, I want you to make sure
he does stay in town.
433
00:35:34,220 --> 00:35:35,566
What'll it be?
434
00:35:35,626 --> 00:35:37,854
Did five years make you
forget that easily?
435
00:35:37,914 --> 00:35:41,016
I told you...in five years you
can forget a lot of things.
436
00:35:41,076 --> 00:35:43,064
Something for the lady?
-Rob Roy, please.
437
00:35:43,124 --> 00:35:44,491
The same.
438
00:35:48,131 --> 00:35:50,932
What made you change your mind
about seeing me again?
439
00:35:54,897 --> 00:35:58,210
You know, finding out I was married
to you kind of threw me.
440
00:35:58,992 --> 00:36:02,169
It was even something the boys at
the hospital used to rib me about.
441
00:36:02,564 --> 00:36:05,605
They had me fixed up with a
wife and four or five kids.
442
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:09,881
They didn't know how close the
gag came to being true.
443
00:36:11,474 --> 00:36:13,672
You still don't believe me, do you?
444
00:36:21,056 --> 00:36:25,236
Maybe this'll convince you it was Eddie
Rice that rang your doorbell last night.
445
00:36:26,537 --> 00:36:29,909
Call Dr Kemble at Letterman's
Hospital in San Francisco.
446
00:36:31,007 --> 00:36:33,025
He'll tell you the whole story.
447
00:36:38,141 --> 00:36:39,767
Tha cigarette case...
448
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,323
Doesn't it mean anything to you?
449
00:36:47,468 --> 00:36:48,868
Should it?
450
00:36:54,926 --> 00:36:57,350
Suppose I did believe you, then what?
451
00:36:59,488 --> 00:37:03,569
Then, I'd try and make you forget that
Eddie Riccardi was ever in your life.
452
00:37:04,476 --> 00:37:06,403
You think you can do that?
453
00:37:07,216 --> 00:37:08,737
Eddie Rice can.
454
00:37:20,823 --> 00:37:22,570
Eddie, leave town.
455
00:37:24,533 --> 00:37:27,228
Now you're talking like Vince.
-Maybe I was yesterday.
456
00:37:27,288 --> 00:37:30,492
Don't ask me why, but go.
-Nina, I don't frighten easily.
457
00:37:30,552 --> 00:37:33,353
You can take that message back to Vince.
Tell him I'm staying!
458
00:37:33,413 --> 00:37:36,816
That's what he wants you to do. That's
why I'm here, to keep you from leaving.
459
00:37:36,876 --> 00:37:38,740
I'd hate to disappoint him then.
460
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,895
Eddie, don't be stubborn, I know Vince.
He doesn't do anything without a reason.
461
00:37:43,964 --> 00:37:45,530
Neither do I.
462
00:37:47,802 --> 00:37:52,590
Stay then! Get yourself beaten up again,
or killed. Do anything you want.
463
00:38:35,782 --> 00:38:38,267
Riccardi.
-Very interesting.
464
00:38:47,205 --> 00:38:48,936
Scotch over water.
465
00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:53,136
Lose something, Charlie?
466
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,406
Tell Nina Martin, Eddie wants to see her.
-Eddie who?
467
00:38:59,658 --> 00:39:01,103
Just Eddie.
468
00:39:01,630 --> 00:39:03,060
Wait here.
469
00:39:11,467 --> 00:39:12,943
What'll I need?
470
00:39:13,003 --> 00:39:15,653
A thousand might bring you luck.
-A thousand?
471
00:39:15,894 --> 00:39:17,475
Give me a thousand.
472
00:39:24,925 --> 00:39:27,891
A character called Eddie's outside,
wants to see you.
473
00:39:27,951 --> 00:39:29,412
Eddie here?
474
00:39:29,788 --> 00:39:31,204
Get rid of him!
475
00:39:31,425 --> 00:39:33,668
That's not what Vince had in mind.
476
00:39:43,422 --> 00:39:44,972
All right, come on.
477
00:39:53,097 --> 00:39:54,663
6...9...12!
478
00:39:54,919 --> 00:39:56,636
All bets down.
479
00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:04,549
It's a nice layout. Vince ought to be
able to pick up some fast money.
480
00:40:04,609 --> 00:40:07,063
You're crazy to come walking in here.
481
00:40:07,123 --> 00:40:09,273
Maybe I'm just hard to convince.
482
00:40:10,477 --> 00:40:12,374
My dressing room is back there.
483
00:40:13,925 --> 00:40:16,590
I'll be back before the
wheel stops turning.
484
00:40:34,853 --> 00:40:35,973
Yeah?
485
00:40:37,478 --> 00:40:38,939
Okay, thanks.
486
00:40:43,645 --> 00:40:45,813
So, she wanted to get rid of him.
487
00:40:47,179 --> 00:40:50,040
I wonder if that dame is trying
to pull a double cross.
488
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,129
Get down to the Golden Horn and pick up
Eddie Riccardi, you'll find him with Nina.
489
00:40:55,189 --> 00:40:56,270
Just him?
490
00:40:56,571 --> 00:40:57,746
Just him.
491
00:40:58,197 --> 00:41:00,110
I'll get around to her later.
492
00:41:03,747 --> 00:41:05,569
I started to leave...
493
00:41:05,794 --> 00:41:08,309
but I kept thinking about
everything you told me.
494
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,230
If I'd of left I'd been all the
things you said I was.
495
00:41:11,727 --> 00:41:13,232
So, I'm staying.
496
00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:17,505
And, I'm taking you out of here.
497
00:41:18,498 --> 00:41:19,673
Nina.
498
00:41:21,043 --> 00:41:23,436
We could have a decent life together.
499
00:41:26,553 --> 00:41:28,465
You got it all figured out.
500
00:41:31,452 --> 00:41:36,089
Well, you're not taking me anywhere.
You pushed me into this life and I like it.
501
00:41:36,481 --> 00:41:41,374
I'm top bait around here steering nice,
fat, pigeons to the gambling table.
502
00:41:41,434 --> 00:41:46,174
I'm one of Vince's kind now and I'm keeping
my life and my job just the way they are.
503
00:41:46,234 --> 00:41:48,026
No matter what I have to do!
504
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:49,934
Come on.
505
00:41:59,090 --> 00:42:00,144
Thanks.
506
00:42:10,804 --> 00:42:13,469
Now, how about some champagne?
507
00:42:14,389 --> 00:42:17,581
Excuse me for a minute, honey.
I forgot I got to call my wife.
508
00:42:32,729 --> 00:42:35,048
Williams, Homicide.
Yeah, Barnes.
509
00:42:36,509 --> 00:42:37,653
Yeah!
510
00:42:38,586 --> 00:42:39,881
Thanks a lot!
511
00:42:40,377 --> 00:42:41,898
What's exciting?
512
00:42:50,385 --> 00:42:54,646
I said, what's exciting? Or, don't
you want to wake me up?
513
00:42:55,138 --> 00:42:59,113
Barnes casing the Golden Horn for vice
intel, tells me Riccardi just walked in.
514
00:42:59,805 --> 00:43:01,266
Trouble maybe?
515
00:43:01,717 --> 00:43:04,924
I could think of plenty of reasons why
there might be for Eddie Rice.
516
00:43:05,478 --> 00:43:07,300
You'll hear from me later.
517
00:43:25,961 --> 00:43:28,189
How you coming with that
Kelly report, Ben?
518
00:43:28,249 --> 00:43:30,945
Just finishing up for you.
-Okay, I'll wait.
519
00:43:33,515 --> 00:43:36,586
Somebody must've believed in that
old gag about an apple a day.
520
00:43:36,646 --> 00:43:40,513
Yeah, but they didn't know it would pin
a murder on them. -Quite an appetite.
521
00:43:40,573 --> 00:43:43,253
Psychological, it creates
a false hunger.
522
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:50,156
Well, here you are, Joe.
I can go home now.
523
00:43:50,216 --> 00:43:53,454
Thanks a lot, Ben. See you tomorrow.
-Okay, see ya tomorrow.
524
00:44:06,875 --> 00:44:07,778
Yeah?
525
00:44:07,838 --> 00:44:10,970
I'm interested in Eddie Riccardi,
not in what's going on in there.
526
00:44:11,030 --> 00:44:13,680
We don't know from Riccardi.
-I do, open up.
527
00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:18,240
Place your bets, folks. Place your
bets. Bet high/low...odd or even.
528
00:44:38,711 --> 00:44:39,795
Yes?
529
00:44:39,990 --> 00:44:43,438
Miss Martin? Williams, Homicide.
May I come in please?
530
00:44:43,732 --> 00:44:44,982
Come in.
531
00:44:47,432 --> 00:44:50,820
Eddie was just picked up by Danny.
-Where'd he take him?
532
00:44:52,557 --> 00:44:54,424
You'll hear from me later.
533
00:45:14,826 --> 00:45:16,377
You know, Williams?
534
00:45:17,054 --> 00:45:19,524
I'm not used to cops with insomnia.
535
00:45:20,201 --> 00:45:22,791
What's on your mind?
-It won't take long.
536
00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:25,960
Danny picked up Eddie Riccardi.
Where are they?
537
00:45:27,537 --> 00:45:29,329
You're in an awful rut.
538
00:45:29,540 --> 00:45:31,497
Always asking questions.
539
00:45:31,557 --> 00:45:33,846
All right...let's start over.
540
00:45:34,581 --> 00:45:37,306
Eddie was at the Golden Horn
with Nina Martin.
541
00:45:37,366 --> 00:45:39,685
Suddenly, he wasn't there anymore.
542
00:45:40,208 --> 00:45:41,368
So...
543
00:45:41,578 --> 00:45:44,018
So...I don't mind waiting.
544
00:45:45,900 --> 00:45:48,053
While we kill a little time...
545
00:45:49,429 --> 00:45:51,176
This might interest you.
546
00:46:01,803 --> 00:46:05,733
And, after we pick up Riccardi...
we're going down to police headquarters.
547
00:46:06,034 --> 00:46:08,579
You're gonna have a manicure...on me.
548
00:46:10,294 --> 00:46:13,380
You know, you're gonna look awful
silly when I get through with you.
549
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,819
If I'm wrong...I'll apologize.
550
00:46:21,050 --> 00:46:23,264
Say hello, nothing more.
551
00:46:25,733 --> 00:46:26,862
Hello.
552
00:46:27,674 --> 00:46:31,408
Vince, we're at the shop. Do we
stay or bring Riccardi up there?
553
00:46:32,507 --> 00:46:34,238
Tell him you'll be down.
554
00:46:52,464 --> 00:46:53,699
Okay, Coke...
555
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,385
<i>Bring him up here.</i>
556
00:47:28,724 --> 00:47:30,530
What do you want now?
557
00:47:41,819 --> 00:47:44,605
Just when he was coming up
in the department.
558
00:49:14,591 --> 00:49:15,886
Car 9-4
559
00:49:15,946 --> 00:49:17,813
9-4 to Control-4.
560
00:49:17,873 --> 00:49:20,252
<i>Clear Frequency-4, this is an emergency.</i>
561
00:49:20,312 --> 00:49:23,126
Control-4 to 94, go ahead.
562
00:49:23,186 --> 00:49:25,099
<i>Car 94 to Control-4</i>
563
00:49:25,159 --> 00:49:29,209
<i>Notify the Homicide Bureau, we have found
the body of Lt Williams in his car.</i>
564
00:49:29,269 --> 00:49:31,133
At Sepulveda and Sunset.
565
00:50:17,423 --> 00:50:18,763
Give you a lift, son?
566
00:50:18,823 --> 00:50:21,485
Thanks, I had a little accident
back up a side road.
567
00:50:21,545 --> 00:50:24,556
I have to go to town, get a tow car.
-Anybody killed?
568
00:50:27,016 --> 00:50:29,561
No luck at all tonight.
Hop in.
569
00:50:39,349 --> 00:50:42,090
Bet you thought I wouldn't stop
to pick you up, didn't you?
570
00:50:42,150 --> 00:50:43,638
I didn't know.
571
00:50:43,698 --> 00:50:45,113
It's late.
-See...
572
00:50:45,173 --> 00:50:49,130
That's why I fooled you. Have me orders.
Pick up anybody, anytime.
573
00:50:49,747 --> 00:50:51,870
Green Acres Morticians policy.
574
00:50:52,094 --> 00:50:54,698
Live today...maybe a customer tomorrow.
575
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,400
Pays off too.
576
00:50:56,460 --> 00:50:59,848
Most people remember the nice things
you do for them while they're living.
577
00:50:59,908 --> 00:51:03,864
We sure don't get any complaints about our
service from them after they're dead.
578
00:51:03,924 --> 00:51:05,927
Their family, that is.
579
00:51:07,423 --> 00:51:09,441
That accident hurt you any?
580
00:51:10,992 --> 00:51:13,069
Got a match?
-Sure do.
581
00:51:19,645 --> 00:51:21,813
Police, ambulance and everything.
582
00:51:22,114 --> 00:51:24,312
I wonder if I'm losing any customers?
583
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:40,902
Finished with Joe's stuff yet?
-Still working on it.
584
00:51:43,326 --> 00:51:44,816
It's too bad...
585
00:51:45,434 --> 00:51:48,460
Joe's wife sure liked him
in that suit too.
586
00:52:13,311 --> 00:52:16,021
Any line on Riccardi yet?
-Nothing, Captain.
587
00:52:16,081 --> 00:52:19,710
Keep trying, he's the last one who
might of seen Joe. -Okay.
588
00:52:20,197 --> 00:52:21,718
Eddie Riccardi.
589
00:52:24,187 --> 00:52:26,445
Guess Williams was right after all.
590
00:52:26,701 --> 00:52:28,538
Riccardi or Rice.
591
00:52:28,826 --> 00:52:32,530
A Silver Star and a dumb look doesn't
change a no good heel.
592
00:52:33,147 --> 00:52:36,173
Attention all units!
Attention all units!
593
00:52:36,233 --> 00:52:40,175
Be on the lookout for the following
<i>described suspect, wanted for murder:</i>
594
00:52:40,551 --> 00:52:43,322
<i>Eddie Riccardi, alias Eddie Rice,</i>
595
00:52:43,589 --> 00:52:46,164
<i>White male, American,</i>
596
00:52:46,224 --> 00:52:49,341
<i>Age 33, 6 foot 2.</i>
597
00:52:49,729 --> 00:52:51,506
<i>190 lbs...</i>
598
00:52:51,957 --> 00:52:53,312
<i>Dark brown...</i>
599
00:52:53,659 --> 00:52:55,944
You phone the cops and do 'em a favor,
600
00:52:56,004 --> 00:53:00,024
where to find a dead cop and the guy
that did it, and what happens...
601
00:53:05,972 --> 00:53:08,035
The first stop is Nina Martin's.
602
00:53:08,276 --> 00:53:10,474
I want Eddie before the cops get him.
603
00:53:10,730 --> 00:53:12,913
Then they can have him for a present.
604
00:53:14,334 --> 00:53:15,915
And alive!
605
00:53:32,066 --> 00:53:33,843
Eddie!
-Shut up!
606
00:53:34,168 --> 00:53:36,065
Get those lights out!
607
00:53:37,285 --> 00:53:39,152
Eddie, what happened?
608
00:53:40,533 --> 00:53:43,951
You certainly did a neat job
of tying me into a murder.
609
00:53:44,011 --> 00:53:46,089
Joe Williams was killed tonight.
610
00:53:46,149 --> 00:53:47,901
You?
-I don't know.
611
00:53:47,961 --> 00:53:51,138
The last thing I remember was being slugged
over the head at Vince Alexander's.
612
00:53:51,198 --> 00:53:53,713
I know you think that...
-I haven't got time to think!
613
00:53:53,773 --> 00:53:57,811
All I want is a few bucks, your car and
you in my sight till I get out of here!
614
00:53:57,871 --> 00:53:59,874
Eddie, you've got to believe me!
615
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:01,335
Believe?
616
00:54:01,656 --> 00:54:03,508
Like you believed me?
617
00:54:03,885 --> 00:54:05,661
Give me the keys!
618
00:54:10,271 --> 00:54:14,017
Eddie! This is why I turned on you
tonight, to get you away from Vince.
619
00:54:14,077 --> 00:54:16,992
The keys are in the car, you go,
I'll try to stall them off.
620
00:54:17,224 --> 00:54:19,468
And get a bullet in the back of my head?
621
00:54:19,528 --> 00:54:22,404
Oh, Eddie! You've got to trust me,
it's your only chance.
622
00:54:24,815 --> 00:54:26,091
Quick!
623
00:54:26,444 --> 00:54:28,043
The garage.
624
00:55:25,770 --> 00:55:29,188
This is where you get out. -Go to the
police, Eddie. Before it's too late.
625
00:55:29,248 --> 00:55:32,400
With my fingerprints all over the
gun and all over Williams car?
626
00:55:32,460 --> 00:55:35,257
I wouldn't last long enough to walk
to the nearest police station.
627
00:55:35,317 --> 00:55:38,133
If I did what could I tell them?
Now out!
628
00:55:38,788 --> 00:55:41,737
You want me to go home and wait
for Vince to come back again?
629
00:55:41,797 --> 00:55:45,800
That's something Eddie Riccardo would
tell me to do, not Eddie Rice.
630
00:55:49,139 --> 00:55:50,606
All right.
631
00:56:06,538 --> 00:56:07,668
Stop.
632
00:56:11,312 --> 00:56:13,997
Keep your lights off and
the motor running.
633
00:56:57,233 --> 00:56:59,889
Well, now you've got a gun! What next?
634
00:57:01,213 --> 00:57:04,044
I didn't ask for any killings,
so I'm in the middle.
635
00:57:04,528 --> 00:57:07,711
But, I'm not going to be a clay
pigeon for Vince Alexander.
636
00:57:08,308 --> 00:57:10,513
You can't prove anything dead.
637
00:57:10,573 --> 00:57:14,597
That would make Vince very happy,
something I wouldn't want to let happen.
638
00:57:15,047 --> 00:57:18,758
Is there any place we could go, someone
you can trust to put us up for the night?
639
00:57:18,818 --> 00:57:20,299
I need time.
640
00:57:21,747 --> 00:57:23,404
Maybe there is.
641
00:57:23,464 --> 00:57:25,443
It's a long chance, but...
642
00:57:28,917 --> 00:57:31,763
You don't think you're going to
get away with this, do you?
643
00:57:32,276 --> 00:57:34,477
We're staying here till tomorrow.
644
00:57:42,766 --> 00:57:46,004
Stay away from that phone!
If it rings, let it keep ringing!
645
00:57:46,064 --> 00:57:48,953
Get rid of anybody who comes to
the door, I'll be right behind you
646
00:57:49,013 --> 00:57:50,845
in case you give the wrong answers.
647
00:57:55,517 --> 00:57:58,539
What about the girl's place?
-There and gone.
648
00:57:58,599 --> 00:58:02,705
Get a teletype out on her car immediately,
have it re-broadcast every half hour.
649
00:58:08,211 --> 00:58:10,661
I want roadblocks at all these points.
650
00:58:10,721 --> 00:58:12,705
I want the airport, the railroad station,
651
00:58:12,765 --> 00:58:15,536
all the bus terminals put
under a 24 surveillance.
652
00:58:15,596 --> 00:58:18,001
I want every hotel and
flophouse notified.
653
00:58:18,061 --> 00:58:20,818
They're in this town somewhere
and they're not getting out.
654
00:58:21,019 --> 00:58:22,354
One other thing...
655
00:58:22,414 --> 00:58:26,887
We picked up Riccardi's fingerprints on
that gun shop. He's got a gun now.
656
00:58:27,294 --> 00:58:29,421
Don't give him a chance to use it!
657
00:58:29,481 --> 00:58:31,284
All right, start moving.
658
00:58:31,344 --> 00:58:33,908
<i>The police tightened its dragnet
about the city today.</i>
659
00:58:33,968 --> 00:58:36,988
<i>Riccardi escaped just as the police
were ready to close in on him</i>
660
00:58:37,048 --> 00:58:39,197
<i>after they received an
anonymous phone call</i>
661
00:58:39,257 --> 00:58:42,292
<i>which led them to discover the murdered
body of one of their men today.</i>
662
00:58:42,352 --> 00:58:44,067
<i>Every available man...</i>
663
00:58:47,714 --> 00:58:49,958
We'll wait till it's dark
and get out of here.
664
00:58:50,018 --> 00:58:52,423
You couldn't arrange to
drop dead before then?
665
00:58:52,483 --> 00:58:55,606
Hazel, you've got to believe us.
Eddie didn't do it!
666
00:58:55,897 --> 00:58:57,936
He should still drop dead.
667
00:58:58,269 --> 00:58:59,604
Twice.
668
01:00:12,318 --> 01:00:13,477
Coke!
669
01:00:36,274 --> 01:00:38,401
Get me a couple of clean towels.
670
01:00:42,231 --> 01:00:43,771
It's pretty bad.
671
01:00:44,739 --> 01:00:49,052
I'll have you out of here in a minute,
we'll find a doctor. -Go to the police.
672
01:00:49,497 --> 01:00:51,448
Eddie, go to the police.
673
01:00:53,848 --> 01:00:55,961
Your car in the garage?
-Yes.
674
01:00:56,021 --> 01:00:58,704
Where are your keys?
-In my purse.
675
01:00:58,764 --> 01:01:00,288
Take care of her.
676
01:01:22,875 --> 01:01:23,843
Thanks.
677
01:01:23,903 --> 01:01:26,748
I'll have the doctor come right
in the moment he returns.
678
01:01:38,651 --> 01:01:40,602
Light me a cigarette.
679
01:02:02,498 --> 01:02:04,288
You're far away.
680
01:02:06,205 --> 01:02:07,614
How far?
681
01:02:09,418 --> 01:02:10,885
Five years.
682
01:02:11,545 --> 01:02:13,041
A lifetime.
683
01:02:14,259 --> 01:02:15,961
Beyond that, a blank.
684
01:02:17,162 --> 01:02:18,879
Me too, Eddie.
685
01:02:18,939 --> 01:02:21,270
Only, it's been a different
kind of a blank.
686
01:02:21,798 --> 01:02:24,453
It's being pushed back
to Eddie Riccardi.
687
01:02:24,937 --> 01:02:26,184
This.
688
01:02:26,811 --> 01:02:30,215
The whole past that keeps me
from being like other people.
689
01:02:30,992 --> 01:02:32,763
Now all that's left is
690
01:02:32,823 --> 01:02:36,460
wondering what it would be like if there
had only been an Eddie Rice.
691
01:02:38,540 --> 01:02:41,287
If I'd of just met you
for the first time.
692
01:02:43,087 --> 01:02:45,508
Eddie Rice can have that.
693
01:02:48,248 --> 01:02:50,610
Oh, you're...good, Eddie.
694
01:02:51,681 --> 01:02:53,368
You're good.
695
01:02:54,934 --> 01:02:57,622
You've taken away the hate in me.
696
01:02:58,176 --> 01:02:59,995
Destroyed it.
697
01:03:01,946 --> 01:03:03,912
You're...good, Eddie.
698
01:03:07,874 --> 01:03:10,573
When a baby wants to be born,
hours don't matter!
699
01:03:10,633 --> 01:03:12,554
7 poundsd 7ounces...a boy.
700
01:03:12,614 --> 01:03:14,549
Doctor, her shoulder...
701
01:03:29,779 --> 01:03:31,760
I can't treat gun wounds.
702
01:03:31,820 --> 01:03:34,679
She'll have to go to the police
emergency hospital.
703
01:03:34,739 --> 01:03:36,179
I don't think so.
704
01:03:36,239 --> 01:03:39,260
I'm sorry, but I've got to report
this to the police.
705
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:40,624
Doctor.
706
01:03:41,138 --> 01:03:43,191
That report to the police...
707
01:03:43,539 --> 01:03:44,918
It'll wait.
708
01:03:45,123 --> 01:03:47,368
If you want to pull that
trigger, go ahead.
709
01:03:49,535 --> 01:03:51,603
Police headquarters, please.
710
01:03:53,055 --> 01:03:56,092
Put that gun away! I said I was
going to call the police.
711
01:03:56,293 --> 01:03:57,775
Police headquarters?
712
01:03:57,980 --> 01:04:00,914
This is Dr Stacey, 93 Chestnut Street.
713
01:04:01,174 --> 01:04:03,492
Send an ambulance and a squad car.
714
01:04:09,003 --> 01:04:10,602
How bad is it?
715
01:04:14,534 --> 01:04:16,118
She'll be all right.
716
01:04:18,447 --> 01:04:20,262
You'd better leave.
717
01:04:27,035 --> 01:04:30,805
Eddie, I'm scared...I'm scared...
-Take it easy, you'll be all right.
718
01:04:30,865 --> 01:04:33,341
Not for me, for you.
-Listen...
719
01:04:33,531 --> 01:04:37,507
I'm leaving you for a little while.
I've got an idea, it might work.
720
01:04:37,567 --> 01:04:39,672
Something very important.
721
01:04:40,214 --> 01:04:44,395
You knew all about me. The people
I used to know, the places I went.
722
01:04:44,699 --> 01:04:46,855
Think for me, go back five years.
723
01:04:46,915 --> 01:04:51,110
Who was there? Just one person.
Give me the answers, quick!
724
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,289
What you say is my only chance,
the only chance I've got.
725
01:04:54,349 --> 01:04:58,231
The only one left is...Petey.
He can't be trusted with Vince.
726
01:04:58,291 --> 01:05:01,337
Where will I find him?
-Not him, he's... -Tell me!
727
01:05:01,759 --> 01:05:04,457
Two, three places on Main Street.
728
01:05:05,198 --> 01:05:07,034
Fourth and Main...
729
01:05:07,094 --> 01:05:10,091
And after Nina ran in front of him,
Coke never had a chance.
730
01:05:10,151 --> 01:05:11,748
That Eddie sure didn't miss.
731
01:05:11,808 --> 01:05:14,345
Coke took three, went right through
his breakfast, lunch and supper.
732
01:05:14,405 --> 01:05:16,575
Anybody come around, ask any questions?
733
01:05:16,635 --> 01:05:19,900
None I couldn't answer, Vince.
-Get back down and keep him company.
734
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,570
But...but, the police?
-That's exactly what I want!
735
01:05:22,630 --> 01:05:25,559
Tell him how Riccardi broke into your
apartment, found Coke there
736
01:05:25,619 --> 01:05:28,727
pulled his gun and fired. Now do
what I told you, just that!
737
01:05:29,035 --> 01:05:31,250
All right, Vince.
-Take her back!
738
01:05:35,048 --> 01:05:37,293
Eddie's got to find a doctor somewhere.
739
01:05:37,484 --> 01:05:39,581
And, if he does what I think, he'll...
740
01:05:39,772 --> 01:05:42,295
dump the girl...and start looking
for a hidewaway.
741
01:05:43,785 --> 01:05:44,973
Get going!
742
01:05:45,033 --> 01:05:48,039
Spread the news I got a personal
interest in Eddie Riccardi.
743
01:05:48,099 --> 01:05:50,870
I don't want anything to happen
to him...until I get there.
744
01:05:51,389 --> 01:05:53,443
Unless the cops get him first.
745
01:05:54,467 --> 01:05:57,841
You through with him, Doc?
-Yup. He was a fine specimen.
746
01:05:57,901 --> 01:06:00,041
Would have had a long life
if this hadn't happened.
747
01:06:00,101 --> 01:06:02,051
I'll send you my report in the morning.
748
01:06:05,694 --> 01:06:08,335
I'm sure you don't mind coming
downtown, Miss Downs?
749
01:06:08,395 --> 01:06:10,477
Well, I...
-I thought not.
750
01:06:12,659 --> 01:06:14,859
What'd you find?
-It was them all right.
751
01:06:14,919 --> 01:06:17,471
Riccardi left the doctor's office
about 30 minutes ago
752
01:06:17,531 --> 01:06:20,830
Notify Communications? -They're blanketing
the whole area. -The girl?
753
01:06:20,890 --> 01:06:25,608
County Jail Hospital. Still out, whether
she's playing it safe or just not talking.
754
01:06:25,668 --> 01:06:29,085
Keep Melon there, the minute she comes
out, I want to know. -Any ideas?
755
01:06:29,145 --> 01:06:31,970
Lots! We need Riccardi to
explain some of them.
756
01:06:32,157 --> 01:06:34,196
If he lives that long.
757
01:06:38,347 --> 01:06:41,120
Hello. I'm looking for Petey,
have you seen him?
758
01:06:42,691 --> 01:06:44,671
Do you know where to find him?
759
01:06:57,552 --> 01:07:00,780
<i>Nina said three or four places,
I must have hit twenty.</i>
760
01:07:01,245 --> 01:07:03,196
<i>And every answer the same.</i>
761
01:07:03,710 --> 01:07:04,810
<i>No.</i>
762
01:07:05,803 --> 01:07:08,605
<i>The shake of their head,
a frightened face.</i>
763
01:07:10,111 --> 01:07:14,043
<i>They knew where I could find what I was
looking for, but they wouldn't talk.</i>
764
01:07:14,483 --> 01:07:16,141
<i>They were scared.</i>
765
01:08:08,257 --> 01:08:11,660
But, Vince! Appreciate the fact
that at least I called you.
766
01:08:11,961 --> 01:08:14,015
I let him stay, it's another rap.
767
01:08:14,075 --> 01:08:17,623
Another rap, I get life! You've
got to appreciate that!
768
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,296
And I'd appreciate it if you'd
tell me where to find Petey.
769
01:08:24,044 --> 01:08:25,306
Right now!
770
01:08:25,366 --> 01:08:26,758
Sure, Eddie.
771
01:08:27,096 --> 01:08:28,152
Sure.
772
01:08:34,841 --> 01:08:36,822
Ocean Boulevard and 25th.
773
01:09:43,996 --> 01:09:46,490
Who's there? Who is it?
-Eddie.
774
01:09:47,355 --> 01:09:48,910
Eddie Riccardi.
775
01:09:49,277 --> 01:09:52,886
Oh, Eddie boy. Every cop in the
city is out gunning for you!
776
01:09:53,350 --> 01:09:55,403
Maybe you don't care if you live...
777
01:09:55,711 --> 01:09:57,604
I got a few more years left!
778
01:09:57,839 --> 01:09:59,526
Open the door, Petey.
779
01:10:00,083 --> 01:10:01,799
You're dead if you don't.
780
01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:04,769
All right, Eddie.
781
01:10:12,804 --> 01:10:15,914
You didn't think I'd leave you out
there in the cold, did you Eddie?
782
01:10:16,545 --> 01:10:20,550
Five years, no see! But, you sure got
a hot fire burning under you, huh?
783
01:10:21,019 --> 01:10:22,105
Yeah.
784
01:10:24,891 --> 01:10:26,900
You need a pal, a friend.
785
01:10:30,025 --> 01:10:32,240
Sure, I need a friend, Petey.
786
01:10:32,483 --> 01:10:36,263
Look, old friend... Will you...will
you put that mouthpiece away?
787
01:10:36,323 --> 01:10:39,153
Somehow I...I still believe they go off!
788
01:10:39,926 --> 01:10:42,669
And, Samson my cat, you remember my cat?
789
01:10:44,180 --> 01:10:46,439
He's not feeling too good again.
790
01:10:46,949 --> 01:10:49,545
You stay careful and
nothing will happen.
791
01:10:49,605 --> 01:10:53,110
Oh sure. Sure, Eddie. You're
talking to Petey, remember?
792
01:10:53,340 --> 01:10:55,746
Any objections to my moving in with you?
793
01:10:56,025 --> 01:10:58,416
I'll be gone, tomorrow or the next day.
794
01:10:58,476 --> 01:11:01,771
Oh, me? Turn away practically,
my own flesh and blood?
795
01:11:03,341 --> 01:11:04,822
Relax, Eddie.
796
01:11:08,491 --> 01:11:11,308
There you are, Eddie. Nothing's
too good for you.
797
01:11:12,355 --> 01:11:16,154
How about some food, Petey?
I haven't eaten all night.
798
01:11:16,536 --> 01:11:18,370
You haven't changed a bit.
799
01:11:18,590 --> 01:11:20,086
Always hungry!
800
01:11:20,146 --> 01:11:22,022
Still tied up with Vince?
801
01:11:24,002 --> 01:11:27,670
I do a little private eyeing on the side.
A job here, a job there.
802
01:11:28,007 --> 01:11:29,284
Nothing big.
803
01:11:31,150 --> 01:11:32,705
I'll telephone.
804
01:11:43,749 --> 01:11:47,358
Hello, friend? Petey! I got
a special customer.
805
01:11:47,828 --> 01:11:49,852
Yeah. Yeah, an old one.
806
01:11:50,881 --> 01:11:54,094
How about sending something over?
He's tired and hungry.
807
01:11:54,813 --> 01:11:56,778
A pot of coffee and a sandwich.
808
01:11:56,969 --> 01:11:58,011
Turkey.
809
01:11:58,266 --> 01:11:59,352
Tongue
810
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:01,684
Egg salad combination.
811
01:12:02,638 --> 01:12:04,442
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
812
01:12:05,543 --> 01:12:06,863
You got it.
813
01:12:12,752 --> 01:12:16,068
You see, Eddie? Everything's
just like old times.
814
01:12:16,655 --> 01:12:18,474
If you say so, Petey.
815
01:12:20,114 --> 01:12:21,948
I'm gettin' kinda sleepy.
816
01:12:22,271 --> 01:12:25,308
You just make yourself at home,
food will be along pretty soon.
817
01:12:25,368 --> 01:12:28,183
Vince has gotten to be a big
man the last five years.
818
01:12:28,675 --> 01:12:31,168
I'm really gettin' pretty tired, friend.
819
01:12:31,228 --> 01:12:33,457
Why don't you bring me
up to date, Petey?
820
01:12:33,517 --> 01:12:35,247
I'm really awful tired, friend!
821
01:12:35,307 --> 01:12:37,501
How long will it take Vince to get here?
822
01:12:37,971 --> 01:12:40,861
Eddie...Eddie, you...you embarrass me.
823
01:12:41,135 --> 01:12:43,834
I'll kill you if you don't give
it to me straight, Petey!
824
01:12:43,894 --> 01:12:47,047
Eddie...Eddie, don't talk like that.
Samson's sick!
825
01:12:47,543 --> 01:12:50,403
I'm telling you, Eddie!
-What are you telling me? How long?
826
01:12:50,463 --> 01:12:53,557
Five minutes? Ten? Fifteen minutes?
Twenty minutes?
827
01:12:54,096 --> 01:12:57,015
About...about fifteen minutes, Eddie.
828
01:12:57,323 --> 01:13:00,902
Vince puts you on the spot!
He's that way with all the boys!
829
01:13:01,162 --> 01:13:04,781
Blow Eddie! Take me with you.
You and me was always friends!
830
01:13:04,841 --> 01:13:08,273
You just stay in front of me and keep your
mouth shut and you won't get into trouble.
831
01:13:08,333 --> 01:13:11,265
Sure, Eddie! You got nothing
to worry about from me.
832
01:13:11,325 --> 01:13:14,361
Just stay my friend, Petey.
-Yeah, Eddie.
833
01:13:27,837 --> 01:13:29,935
You're retired, you can go home now.
834
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:32,601
Your friend want a ride?
-Not tonight.
835
01:13:34,995 --> 01:13:36,151
$2.80
836
01:13:36,711 --> 01:13:39,616
This will get you a thousand.
Come on, Petey.
837
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,005
Take care of Petey.
838
01:15:45,187 --> 01:15:46,434
Eddie!
839
01:15:46,625 --> 01:15:48,165
Let's get out of here!
840
01:15:49,661 --> 01:15:51,158
Go ahead, Petey.
841
01:15:51,610 --> 01:15:52,974
Thanks, Eddie.
842
01:15:54,148 --> 01:15:55,615
They're coming!
843
01:18:02,988 --> 01:18:04,191
Eddie.
844
01:18:04,792 --> 01:18:06,274
Can you hear me?
845
01:18:09,079 --> 01:18:10,898
We can make a break.
846
01:18:11,558 --> 01:18:13,319
Cover for each other.
847
01:18:14,096 --> 01:18:15,739
I got a place.
848
01:18:17,148 --> 01:18:18,820
You and me, Eddie.
849
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,342
We'll start up again.
850
01:18:22,914 --> 01:18:25,056
Just like old times.
851
01:18:30,072 --> 01:18:31,671
I got money, Eddie.
852
01:18:32,992 --> 01:18:34,327
Big money!
853
01:18:37,521 --> 01:18:39,355
Samson! Samson!
854
01:18:39,986 --> 01:18:41,159
Samson!
855
01:18:43,096 --> 01:18:44,841
Petey! Come back!
856
01:18:46,807 --> 01:18:47,908
Samson.
857
01:18:48,318 --> 01:18:50,446
Samson, baby. Samson.
858
01:19:47,773 --> 01:19:50,091
Riccardi! Alexander!
859
01:19:50,292 --> 01:19:53,813
We'll give you three minutes to come out.
We're gonna start counting.
860
01:19:54,135 --> 01:19:57,920
At the end of three minutes if you're
not out, we're coming to get you!
861
01:19:58,429 --> 01:20:00,600
This is your last chance, Eddie.
862
01:20:01,862 --> 01:20:04,121
There's just you and me left now.
863
01:20:04,181 --> 01:20:05,676
No deal, Vince.
864
01:20:06,455 --> 01:20:08,538
I know you killed Joe Williams.
865
01:20:08,978 --> 01:20:10,357
Okay...
866
01:20:11,516 --> 01:20:13,071
No deals.
867
01:21:51,795 --> 01:21:54,993
We want you, Riccardi..
Alive, Alexander!
868
01:21:55,595 --> 01:21:58,646
If you're in there and not wounded,
bring Riccardi out.
869
01:21:59,653 --> 01:22:03,761
You, Riccardi! If you're alone, come
out with your hands in the air!
870
01:22:06,712 --> 01:22:09,176
Here's when you and I part company.
871
01:22:09,396 --> 01:22:12,081
You're gonna get paid off in full.
872
01:22:41,345 --> 01:22:43,574
Thanks for bringing him out, Vince.
873
01:22:43,853 --> 01:22:47,169
Now, drop your gun.
I said drop your gun, Vince!
874
01:22:49,233 --> 01:22:51,932
Eddie will take what I
got first, Anderson!
875
01:22:54,015 --> 01:22:56,568
All police officers hold your fire!
876
01:22:57,552 --> 01:22:59,532
Don't be crazy, Alexander.
877
01:22:59,899 --> 01:23:02,774
There have been enough people killed.
Give yourself up.
878
01:23:02,834 --> 01:23:04,491
No bargains, Anderson!
879
01:23:04,551 --> 01:23:06,487
You want Riccardi alive...
880
01:23:06,547 --> 01:23:07,866
I want out!
881
01:23:07,926 --> 01:23:10,682
What guarantee have I got that
you won't kill Riccardi?
882
01:23:10,742 --> 01:23:13,250
You don't!
-Be sensible, Alexander.
883
01:23:13,979 --> 01:23:16,854
If we let you out now,
we'll get you later.
884
01:23:17,089 --> 01:23:19,040
You'll be dead before morning.
885
01:23:19,245 --> 01:23:21,930
You got 30 seconds to make
up your mind, Anderson!
886
01:23:22,688 --> 01:23:24,053
I go...
887
01:23:24,361 --> 01:23:26,415
or Riccardi gets it in the back!
888
01:23:29,595 --> 01:23:31,388
Sat down, Eddie! Don't move!
889
01:24:05,464 --> 01:24:06,711
Is he dead?
890
01:24:06,771 --> 01:24:09,234
He will be if we don't get
him to a hospital.
891
01:24:15,716 --> 01:24:19,090
That taxi driver must have really
gotten to you in a hurry.
892
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,980
He did, asking for a $1000 reward.
893
01:24:22,337 --> 01:24:26,826
And all the questions you want to ask...
I called Dr Kemble from San Francisco.
894
01:24:27,149 --> 01:24:31,242
We knew Vince killed Jow Williams,
we found his blood on Joe's clothing.
895
01:24:31,604 --> 01:24:34,435
It matched up with our
lab files, yours didn't.
896
01:24:34,740 --> 01:24:37,351
And, Hazel told us the truth about Coke.
897
01:24:37,747 --> 01:24:41,254
Now, just get well. We'll finish
our business later.
898
01:24:42,217 --> 01:24:43,391
Nina...
899
01:24:43,451 --> 01:24:45,782
She's fine...in the waiting room.
900
01:25:05,063 --> 01:25:08,173
You shouldn't kiss a guy like
that when he's sick in bed.
901
01:25:10,205 --> 01:25:14,254
Well, I've been waiting outside all the
time. They wouldn't tell me anything.
902
01:25:14,314 --> 01:25:15,970
I was afraid...
903
01:25:17,151 --> 01:25:18,647
It's all right.
904
01:25:19,674 --> 01:25:21,170
We'll go away.
905
01:25:21,230 --> 01:25:24,222
We'll find that...crazy world of yours.
906
01:25:25,698 --> 01:25:27,151
Sure.
907
01:25:30,408 --> 01:25:32,373
There's only one thing...
908
01:25:33,675 --> 01:25:35,494
You'll always be...
909
01:25:35,758 --> 01:25:37,298
Eddie Rice.
910
01:25:38,853 --> 01:25:40,540
For the rest of my life.
911
01:25:40,990 --> 01:25:43,059
I have the doc's word for him.
912
01:25:44,673 --> 01:25:46,110
Come here.
|
After sustaining a head wound in combat, decorated World War II veteran Eddie Rice (John Payne) is treated at a San Francisco military hospital for a permanent form of amnesia. This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.
Rice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely.

00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556
This is the Letterman General Hosiptal
at San Francisco, California.
2
00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219
For those outside these gates the
war is over, a thing of the past.
3
00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888
For those behind these gates there's a
grim, hard, bitter fight still going on.
4
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518
Take one case, the case
of Eddie Rice, age 33.
5
00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206
Enlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.
Holder of the Silver Star, but today...
6
00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026
A name and date number, a medical file.
For five years a chart on a hospital bed.
7
00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340
A victim of amnesia.
A mind with a blocked out past.
8
00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127
Where were you born, Eddie?
Who are your parents?
9
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912
Any brothers? Sisters?
10
00:01:54,277 --> 00:01:58,775
Where did you go to school?
What's your trade? Profession?
11
00:01:59,433 --> 00:02:01,748
Are you rich?
Poor?
12
00:02:02,051 --> 00:02:03,689
Got a girl?
13
00:02:03,915 --> 00:02:05,289
Married?
14
00:02:05,349 --> 00:02:06,869
I don't know.
15
00:02:07,378 --> 00:02:09,015
I don't know!
16
00:02:09,824 --> 00:02:11,537
I can't remember.
17
00:02:12,444 --> 00:02:14,571
I just can't remember, doctor.
18
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:30,922
You had me open. What did you quit for?
-We did the best we could, Eddie.
19
00:02:31,218 --> 00:02:33,439
It'll just have to stay there.
20
00:02:34,606 --> 00:02:38,483
Is that final?
-Unless you want your name on a headstone.
21
00:02:38,543 --> 00:02:43,592
That shrapnel's too deep in your brain.
Scar tissue has grown all around it.
22
00:02:43,652 --> 00:02:46,980
Believe me, we tried.
-Yeah, I guess you did.
23
00:02:48,391 --> 00:02:52,551
Where do I go from here?
-Eddie, there are two kinds of amnesia:
24
00:02:52,611 --> 00:02:54,895
psychological and organic.
25
00:02:55,178 --> 00:03:00,240
The psychological form is temporary, but
it can be cured through psychotherapy.
26
00:03:01,016 --> 00:03:03,876
Yours is organic, it's permanent.
27
00:03:04,347 --> 00:03:07,772
That piece of steel in your brain
has blocked out your memory.
28
00:03:07,832 --> 00:03:10,863
Which doesn't leave me much
of a future, does it?
29
00:03:10,923 --> 00:03:15,071
Of course it does, physically
you're normal and healthy.
30
00:03:15,131 --> 00:03:17,771
You've received the maximum
medical benefits
31
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:22,559
You've completed training courses that make
you fit to hold down a job and face life.
32
00:03:23,499 --> 00:03:26,540
With no address, no next
of kin, nothing.
33
00:03:27,489 --> 00:03:29,567
Enlisted from Los Angeles...
34
00:03:29,627 --> 00:03:32,397
Intelligence ran that down
for us, remember?
35
00:03:32,867 --> 00:03:35,818
Oh sure, there were a lot of
people named Rice there...
36
00:03:36,026 --> 00:03:37,682
but not this Eddie Rice.
37
00:03:37,742 --> 00:03:41,777
But, Army Intelligence didn't mow
Los Angeles lawns as a kid, Eddie.
38
00:03:41,837 --> 00:03:44,292
They didn't trade at the corner market.
39
00:03:44,352 --> 00:03:48,775
They didn't work with people in a factory,
in an office, as you might have done.
40
00:03:48,986 --> 00:03:50,136
Now...
41
00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:54,081
If you went down there...and ran
into somebody who knew you,
42
00:03:54,141 --> 00:03:55,918
just one person...
43
00:03:56,384 --> 00:03:57,694
Yes...
44
00:03:58,992 --> 00:04:01,702
If I ran into just one person
who knew me.
45
00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:03,689
One guy...
46
00:04:04,785 --> 00:04:07,149
Who would come up to me and say:
47
00:04:07,616 --> 00:04:08,775
"Eddie."
48
00:04:08,986 --> 00:04:10,491
"Eddie Rice."
49
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:12,253
"How have you been?"
50
00:04:12,581 --> 00:04:14,132
"Where have you been?"
51
00:04:14,192 --> 00:04:15,577
That's it, Eddie.
52
00:04:15,637 --> 00:04:18,766
And then, they'd tell me about
someone else I used to know.
53
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:21,626
And, I'd meet somebody else.
54
00:04:22,635 --> 00:04:24,141
And another...
55
00:04:25,342 --> 00:04:26,908
And another...
56
00:04:57,774 --> 00:05:00,996
<i>Sure, it scares you to go out into
a world you don't remember...</i>
57
00:05:01,484 --> 00:05:02,959
<i>but you're here now.</i>
58
00:05:03,742 --> 00:05:05,473
<i>It'll be a new life.</i>
59
00:05:05,805 --> 00:05:07,295
<i>A new start.</i>
60
00:05:08,231 --> 00:05:10,189
<i>Find yourself a place to live.</i>
61
00:05:10,957 --> 00:05:12,613
<i>Get yourself a job.</i>
62
00:05:13,290 --> 00:05:14,540
<i>Get going.</i>
63
00:05:15,353 --> 00:05:16,919
<i>Get going, Eddie!</i>
64
00:05:19,198 --> 00:05:20,357
Eddie!
65
00:05:20,417 --> 00:05:22,736
You know, it's a small world, Eddie.
66
00:05:22,796 --> 00:05:25,266
We came down here to pick
up a little of one thing,
67
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:28,650
and we ran into a little of another!
-A lot of us thought you were dead.
68
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:32,851
Yes, and...those that didn't hoped you
were. What are you doing in town?
69
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,642
I'm just in from San Francisco.
70
00:05:36,702 --> 00:05:40,060
I didn't ask you that.
-He asked you what you were doing in town.
71
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,354
I cam here to look up some...people.
72
00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:45,989
Funny, I...I had a feeling that was it.
73
00:05:46,049 --> 00:05:48,443
Anderson one of them?
-Anderson?
74
00:05:49,719 --> 00:05:50,698
Maybe.
75
00:05:50,758 --> 00:05:54,251
I think you're lying, Eddie. I don't think you
were gonna look up Anderson at all.
76
00:05:54,311 --> 00:05:57,458
Barrett, do you think he was gonna
look up Anderson? -No, Joe.
77
00:05:57,699 --> 00:06:00,108
Not Anderson.
-I'll tell you what...
78
00:06:00,168 --> 00:06:02,737
I got a car and nothing
to do for a while...
79
00:06:02,797 --> 00:06:05,478
Let's go see Anderson together.
Any objections?
80
00:06:07,616 --> 00:06:09,016
No objections.
81
00:06:09,076 --> 00:06:11,256
Stick around, Kelly may still show.
82
00:06:11,452 --> 00:06:12,506
Let's go.
83
00:06:35,122 --> 00:06:37,667
'Honorable discharge of Edward Rice.'
84
00:06:41,972 --> 00:06:43,568
What's the gimmick?
85
00:06:44,110 --> 00:06:46,399
If you'd put away your blackjacks
long enough
86
00:06:46,459 --> 00:06:48,431
maybe I could get it through
your heads that...
87
00:06:48,491 --> 00:06:50,714
I don't know what you're talking about.
88
00:06:50,774 --> 00:06:52,912
You got yourself a sense
of humor, Eddie.
89
00:06:52,972 --> 00:06:56,010
You think you come back here with
a dumb look and a Silver Star...
90
00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:58,958
That changes a no good heel?
-But, I'm trying to tell you that...
91
00:06:59,018 --> 00:07:01,382
You don't have to tell us
anything about yourself.
92
00:07:01,442 --> 00:07:03,881
We got it all down in black and white.
93
00:07:06,019 --> 00:07:07,630
Read it, Riccardi.
94
00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:09,313
We didn't dream it up.
95
00:07:09,795 --> 00:07:12,355
Possession of a weapon
with intent to kill.
96
00:07:12,882 --> 00:07:14,553
Suspicion of murder.
97
00:07:17,184 --> 00:07:18,566
<i>Riccardi...</i>
98
00:07:19,274 --> 00:07:20,960
<i>Eddie Riccardi.</i>
99
00:07:21,638 --> 00:07:25,236
<i>That's not me, it can't be.
It only looks like me!</i>
100
00:07:26,348 --> 00:07:29,103
<i>I better get out of here!
I've got to get out!</i>
101
00:07:29,163 --> 00:07:33,093
Five years ago we hustled you out of town,
for good. Now what are you here for?
102
00:07:34,253 --> 00:07:35,939
<i>You've got to play ball.</i>
103
00:07:35,999 --> 00:07:39,153
<i>You need time. You need more
time to find out about yourself.</i>
104
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,894
Riccardi's just playing dumb, Captain.
105
00:07:42,556 --> 00:07:44,122
Put him in the lockup.
106
00:07:44,498 --> 00:07:47,085
I'm finding about these...
discharge papers.
107
00:07:47,145 --> 00:07:49,358
If they're phonies, we'll pin a
real one on him.
108
00:07:49,418 --> 00:07:50,999
Just a minute, Lieutenant.
109
00:07:52,426 --> 00:07:56,627
I guess, maybe I didn't want the army
to know about Eddie...Riccardi.
110
00:07:57,317 --> 00:08:00,133
The only friends I have
know me as Eddie Rice.
111
00:08:00,916 --> 00:08:02,813
I'd like to keep it that way.
112
00:08:03,219 --> 00:08:05,945
That's probably the first honest
thing you've ever said.
113
00:08:06,005 --> 00:08:07,537
Pick up your things.
114
00:08:10,967 --> 00:08:14,008
Be Eddie Rice in some other
town, but not here.
115
00:08:14,068 --> 00:08:18,540
Now, we can't hold you, but...you step
out of line once and we step on you.
116
00:08:26,034 --> 00:08:28,278
Notice anything different
about him, Williams?
117
00:08:28,338 --> 00:08:31,138
Nothing! If Riccardi stays in town
there's gonna be trouble.
118
00:08:31,198 --> 00:08:34,210
I don't know. He had a strange
look about him.
119
00:08:34,667 --> 00:08:37,934
Send to Washington for a complete
report on Edward Rice.
120
00:08:37,994 --> 00:08:40,870
That Silver Star, you really
do something to get one.
121
00:08:40,930 --> 00:08:43,686
Yeah, buy it in a pawn
shop for two bits.
122
00:09:01,270 --> 00:09:04,944
Nina, my sweet!
My beautiful, lovely...
123
00:09:05,004 --> 00:09:07,609
All right, Nick! Let's keep
it all business.
124
00:09:10,063 --> 00:09:13,240
Who is it this time?
-Petey. Suspicion of robbery.
125
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:16,251
Get him out before they start
shifting him around. -Petey?
126
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:17,588
Him?
127
00:09:17,648 --> 00:09:19,726
He wouldn't steal his own shadow.
128
00:09:19,786 --> 00:09:22,056
That was William's gag to get
him out of the way.
129
00:09:22,116 --> 00:09:25,670
I wouldn't know. Bail's $1000.
-Inflation!
130
00:09:25,730 --> 00:09:27,823
That's the whole trouble these days.
131
00:09:28,847 --> 00:09:30,714
Alexander, he unhappy?
132
00:09:31,252 --> 00:09:34,188
Nick. Keep your mind on your business.
133
00:09:34,248 --> 00:09:36,233
Let Vince worry about his, huh?
134
00:09:36,293 --> 00:09:39,259
Sure, beautiful Sure.
Forget I mentioned it.
135
00:09:53,907 --> 00:09:55,970
Take my advice, you leave town.
136
00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:57,837
I've got things to do.
137
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,125
Adios, boy! You're on your own.
138
00:10:04,466 --> 00:10:05,941
Kelly never showed.
139
00:10:06,001 --> 00:10:07,071
Odd.
140
00:10:07,131 --> 00:10:08,606
We'll hear from him.
141
00:10:18,132 --> 00:10:20,074
One of the usual fronts?
142
00:10:21,098 --> 00:10:24,064
You have a lot of Jane Does, Nick.
Use one of them.
143
00:10:26,732 --> 00:10:28,328
Of course, there's a big difference
144
00:10:28,388 --> 00:10:30,617
between the Florida oranges
and the California oranges.
145
00:10:30,677 --> 00:10:33,131
At least that's what the Chamber
of Commerce in Florida says.
146
00:10:33,191 --> 00:10:35,661
And the Chamber of Commerce
in California says...
147
00:10:35,872 --> 00:10:37,874
Orange juice, please.
-Yes, ma'am.
148
00:10:41,153 --> 00:10:42,388
Eddie.
149
00:10:44,691 --> 00:10:47,281
I thought it was you from
across the street.
150
00:10:48,856 --> 00:10:49,940
Hello.
151
00:10:51,204 --> 00:10:53,794
Is that the only thing
you've got to say?
152
00:10:54,110 --> 00:10:56,640
Well, there's a lot more
I could say, but...
153
00:10:57,107 --> 00:10:58,311
but you...
154
00:10:59,299 --> 00:11:00,609
Let's see...
155
00:11:01,814 --> 00:11:03,425
Nacy Morgan?
156
00:11:03,711 --> 00:11:05,051
Nora Murphy?
157
00:11:05,292 --> 00:11:09,176
No, you don't look like Nora Murphy.
-What'd you come back for, Eddie?
158
00:11:10,216 --> 00:11:12,610
A man has a right to come
home, hasn't he?
159
00:11:14,552 --> 00:11:17,699
My car is across the street,
I'll take you there.
160
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:18,994
Sure!
161
00:11:19,175 --> 00:11:20,228
Thanks.
162
00:11:45,318 --> 00:11:47,089
Vince know you're back?
163
00:11:47,149 --> 00:11:48,360
Vince?
164
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,025
Should he?
165
00:11:51,762 --> 00:11:53,419
You oughta know.
166
00:12:02,797 --> 00:12:04,499
Thanks for the lift.
167
00:12:07,503 --> 00:12:08,828
Coming in?
168
00:12:09,264 --> 00:12:11,447
Who said this was the end of the road?
169
00:12:12,833 --> 00:12:15,091
Who's complaining? Not me.
170
00:12:40,205 --> 00:12:41,530
Checking in?
171
00:12:41,771 --> 00:12:42,870
Long?
172
00:12:44,466 --> 00:12:45,896
I don't know yet.
173
00:12:46,739 --> 00:12:48,019
Alone?
174
00:12:48,648 --> 00:12:49,672
Yes.
175
00:12:52,517 --> 00:12:55,393
Edward Rice...San Francisco.
176
00:12:58,702 --> 00:13:00,042
304.
177
00:13:03,234 --> 00:13:06,757
I'll throw the stuff in the room and
be right back. -If you say so.
178
00:13:29,744 --> 00:13:32,665
Hello? hello, this is Nina.
I want to talk to Vince.
179
00:13:32,725 --> 00:13:33,885
He's busy.
180
00:13:33,945 --> 00:13:36,203
Not too busy for what
I've got to tell him.
181
00:13:36,263 --> 00:13:37,479
<i>He's not here.</i>
182
00:13:37,539 --> 00:13:41,379
Look, let's not keep where he is a
secret it might upset your whole future.
183
00:13:41,439 --> 00:13:42,945
Put me through to him!
184
00:13:55,033 --> 00:13:56,719
You talk too much.
185
00:13:57,397 --> 00:13:59,189
Another treatment, Kelly?
186
00:14:00,453 --> 00:14:01,603
Any...
187
00:14:02,265 --> 00:14:04,750
Any second...breaks, Vince?
188
00:14:06,993 --> 00:14:09,176
I'm easy to do business with.
189
00:14:10,165 --> 00:14:11,520
If you talk...
190
00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:12,830
you live.
191
00:14:14,034 --> 00:14:16,865
All i want to hear is your
angle with Joe Williams.
192
00:14:19,271 --> 00:14:22,463
Give him a cigarette, Danny.
It'll relax him.
193
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:30,609
I'm...trusting you, Vince.
194
00:14:30,834 --> 00:14:32,792
Sure. Sure, Kelly.
195
00:14:33,474 --> 00:14:35,612
I told you we'd turn you loose.
196
00:14:35,672 --> 00:14:37,388
You understand how I...
197
00:14:37,569 --> 00:14:40,942
How a guy feels when he's been
kicked out of the organization?
198
00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:43,633
I know...
199
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:47,533
I shouldn't of been a sucker and
told Williams about the...
200
00:14:48,253 --> 00:14:50,828
...about the silver dollar.
-Forget that.
201
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,915
What did you tell him about this?
-Nothing!
202
00:14:56,455 --> 00:14:58,201
Nothing much, really.
203
00:14:59,044 --> 00:15:01,755
Vince!
-What did you tell him, Kelly?
204
00:15:01,815 --> 00:15:03,185
Really, Vince...
205
00:15:03,381 --> 00:15:04,931
Nothing important.
206
00:15:05,688 --> 00:15:06,757
Just...
207
00:15:07,178 --> 00:15:08,970
a little of this and...
208
00:15:09,527 --> 00:15:11,304
that about the...
209
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,532
about the slot machines and...
210
00:15:14,315 --> 00:15:16,333
and the take. But, I...
211
00:15:16,787 --> 00:15:18,564
I phonied the figures.
212
00:15:19,403 --> 00:15:22,550
Honest I did.
-These figures aren't phoney.
213
00:15:22,836 --> 00:15:24,447
Where'd you get 'em?
214
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,684
Snatched them out of your safe, Vince.
215
00:15:31,219 --> 00:15:33,192
Williams is waiting for 'em.
216
00:15:33,535 --> 00:15:37,359
He was going to bundle me out of town,
bring me back for the trial.
217
00:15:38,696 --> 00:15:42,083
But, I was gonna duck.
They never would of found me.
218
00:15:44,568 --> 00:15:46,480
That's the truth, Vince!
219
00:15:54,771 --> 00:15:56,021
Hello.
220
00:15:56,788 --> 00:15:58,264
Hello, Nina.
221
00:16:02,956 --> 00:16:05,242
You sure it's him?
-I was with him!
222
00:16:05,302 --> 00:16:08,524
First I saw him outside police
headquarters talking to Joe Williams,
223
00:16:08,584 --> 00:16:10,466
then I drove him to the Cortez.
224
00:16:10,689 --> 00:16:14,362
He cked in under the name
of Eddie Rice, room 304.
225
00:16:14,422 --> 00:16:15,552
Thanks.
226
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:37,164
You still want to take that trip, Kelly?
227
00:16:39,317 --> 00:16:41,560
You don't have to worry about me, Vince.
228
00:16:42,019 --> 00:16:43,028
Don.
229
00:16:44,194 --> 00:16:45,820
Big mouth Kelly.
230
00:16:46,257 --> 00:16:48,832
You think what he's got
may be contagious?
231
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:50,563
Very...catchy.
232
00:16:51,562 --> 00:16:54,648
What's your opinion, Don?
-Very, definitely.
233
00:16:56,621 --> 00:16:58,283
What can I do?
234
00:16:59,322 --> 00:17:01,686
The consultation's in agreement.
235
00:17:04,595 --> 00:17:05,769
Kelly!
236
00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:07,380
You're dead!
237
00:17:09,097 --> 00:17:10,527
Oh, and Kelly...
238
00:17:10,774 --> 00:17:14,749
When you get to where you're going,
have 'em give you a nice, even burn.
239
00:17:14,809 --> 00:17:17,579
Don't let them just fry you on one side.
240
00:18:01,054 --> 00:18:05,210
I'm sorry to bother you again, but..
has there been any sign of the girl yet?
241
00:18:07,876 --> 00:18:09,051
Thanks.
242
00:18:40,394 --> 00:18:42,743
Don't you believe in knocking on doors?
243
00:18:43,857 --> 00:18:45,814
Who are you? What do you want?
244
00:19:00,538 --> 00:19:02,661
So, that's where you've been hold up...
245
00:19:02,932 --> 00:19:04,498
Eddie Rice!
246
00:19:05,181 --> 00:19:08,990
No wonder I couldn't get a line on you.
Are you back sightseeing?
247
00:19:09,378 --> 00:19:10,854
Mr Rice?
248
00:19:13,052 --> 00:19:15,326
This supposed to be a free country?
249
00:19:15,684 --> 00:19:17,250
Free town?
250
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:18,951
Open to anyone?
251
00:19:19,011 --> 00:19:20,366
Not with me in it.
252
00:19:20,635 --> 00:19:23,240
You didn't waste much time
picking up with the cops.
253
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:27,395
Why should it worry you about
me talking to Williams?
254
00:19:27,455 --> 00:19:29,274
You've got me confused, Eddie.
255
00:19:29,771 --> 00:19:33,460
Only a sucker would walk back in
town after the deal you pulled.
256
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,979
Some things a fella has to...
257
00:19:37,401 --> 00:19:39,102
find out for himself.
258
00:19:40,096 --> 00:19:41,948
Not about you and me.
259
00:19:50,768 --> 00:19:53,283
I've been saving this for five years.
260
00:19:54,021 --> 00:19:57,378
Everyone in life has his bible,
this is mine.
261
00:19:58,978 --> 00:20:03,661
I take it out and read it every day. I read
it to remind me of a guy I grew up with.
262
00:20:03,917 --> 00:20:05,648
Got shoved around with.
263
00:20:06,277 --> 00:20:08,566
We used to take a lot of raps together.
264
00:20:09,439 --> 00:20:13,143
Some people would call a guy
like that a...a loyal friend.
265
00:20:13,968 --> 00:20:15,353
He was.
266
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:22,050
Until he turned into a dirty stool pigeon,
and let me take the rap for him!
267
00:20:38,866 --> 00:20:40,070
Eddie...
268
00:20:41,380 --> 00:20:42,811
Riccardi?
269
00:20:43,025 --> 00:20:47,105
My good friend who sold me out
to a cop named Joe Williams!
270
00:20:58,268 --> 00:21:00,541
Don't mess up his face too much.
271
00:21:03,876 --> 00:21:05,909
I ought to kill you, Eddie.
272
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:08,709
But, you're not worth taking
another rap for!
273
00:21:08,769 --> 00:21:11,058
In 24 hours...disappear!
274
00:21:11,935 --> 00:21:15,006
Otherwise, I might be tempted
to change my mind!
275
00:21:15,624 --> 00:21:17,205
Give him some air!
276
00:22:11,865 --> 00:22:14,153
<i>Why didn't the girl come back?</i>
277
00:22:15,523 --> 00:22:17,812
<i>What did she know about me?</i>
278
00:22:18,730 --> 00:22:20,808
<i>Why did she bring me here?</i>
279
00:22:21,847 --> 00:22:23,111
<i>Vince...</i>
280
00:22:24,060 --> 00:22:26,123
<i>Why didn't Vince kill me?</i>
281
00:22:27,402 --> 00:22:29,450
<i>Maybe I deserved it.</i>
282
00:22:30,625 --> 00:22:33,140
<i>Maybe Dr Kemble ought to know?</i>
283
00:22:34,224 --> 00:22:36,051
<i>I better tell him.</i>
284
00:22:37,226 --> 00:22:39,033
<i>I better call him.</i>
285
00:22:40,328 --> 00:22:41,908
<i>I better...</i>
286
00:22:44,659 --> 00:22:45,879
Hello.
287
00:22:46,391 --> 00:22:50,456
I want to put through a call, person
to person. Dr Kemble...
288
00:22:50,652 --> 00:22:53,392
Letterman Genral Hospital,
San Francisco.
289
00:22:54,435 --> 00:22:56,091
K-E-M-B-L-E
290
00:22:57,411 --> 00:22:58,736
Thank you.
291
00:23:14,170 --> 00:23:15,961
Hello, Dr Kemble?
292
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,812
When do you expect him back?
293
00:23:19,219 --> 00:23:20,920
Not till tomorrow?
294
00:23:22,121 --> 00:23:24,500
Never mind, I'll see him personally.
295
00:24:15,503 --> 00:24:18,780
Forget about Union Station.
Take me to 7 Braxton Avenue.
296
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:30,476
Wait for me.
297
00:24:51,762 --> 00:24:53,961
Thanks a lot Lou, for driving me home.
298
00:24:54,021 --> 00:24:57,393
Just a minute, darling.
I'll walk to the door with you.
299
00:24:58,990 --> 00:25:02,378
It's early, Nina. A little drink for
a nightcap won't hurt you.
300
00:25:02,589 --> 00:25:04,456
That's what you think.
301
00:25:04,516 --> 00:25:07,825
You could make me forget that
thousand I dropped tonight, Nina.
302
00:25:07,885 --> 00:25:11,182
I can forget a lot of things, Lou.
You, for instance.
303
00:25:11,242 --> 00:25:13,633
Good night.
-Just a minute, baby.
304
00:25:13,693 --> 00:25:16,328
I'd like a little receipt
for that grand.
305
00:25:19,246 --> 00:25:20,827
That's better.
306
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:25,539
That's your receipt. Good night.
307
00:25:45,117 --> 00:25:46,758
Now listen...
308
00:25:50,045 --> 00:25:51,461
Go ahead.
309
00:25:51,521 --> 00:25:53,237
Take a good look.
310
00:25:53,629 --> 00:25:58,055
If you came to tell me how Vince welcomed
you back, you've said it. So, goodbye!
311
00:25:58,673 --> 00:26:02,272
I want to know what you had
to do with me...in my life.
312
00:26:04,596 --> 00:26:06,057
And this.
313
00:26:10,473 --> 00:26:12,160
December the 24th,
314
00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:13,801
1943.
315
00:26:14,162 --> 00:26:16,120
Ah, that was a lovely Christmas.
316
00:26:16,903 --> 00:26:19,041
One I'll never forget.
317
00:26:24,136 --> 00:26:26,380
Only one of your presents!
318
00:26:29,297 --> 00:26:33,664
Sure, I told Vince Alexander
you're back. I work for him.
319
00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:39,946
This clipping...
320
00:26:40,955 --> 00:26:45,366
Why couldn't you testify at the trial?
-Oh, no routines, I've heard them all.
321
00:26:48,454 --> 00:26:51,436
Listen to me!
I'm just out of an army hospital
322
00:26:51,496 --> 00:26:54,507
with a piece of steel in my head
and no memory to go with it.
323
00:26:54,567 --> 00:26:57,756
I'm here to find out about myself and
I'm getting answers the hard way!
324
00:26:57,816 --> 00:27:00,677
I don't know you, Vince Alexander...
325
00:27:00,737 --> 00:27:05,055
or anybody called Eddie Riccardi!
All I know is one person, Eddie Rice! Me!
326
00:27:07,178 --> 00:27:09,391
You're the last person I can turn to.
327
00:27:10,472 --> 00:27:12,263
Please believe me.
328
00:27:12,850 --> 00:27:14,115
Help me.
329
00:27:16,584 --> 00:27:19,039
That's a very touching speech.
330
00:27:21,477 --> 00:27:23,901
You lost your memory.
331
00:27:24,564 --> 00:27:28,298
You don't know why I couldn't
testify at the trial.
332
00:27:28,529 --> 00:27:32,067
You've forgotten how you used me to
make sure Vince would go to prison
333
00:27:32,127 --> 00:27:33,829
so you'd be set free.
334
00:27:33,889 --> 00:27:37,966
But, if you're back to your old tricks
again I've got sad news for you,
335
00:27:38,026 --> 00:27:40,752
I tore up your raincheck
three years ago.
336
00:27:43,494 --> 00:27:45,587
I'm not your wife anymore.
337
00:28:05,380 --> 00:28:08,090
Now to the station?
-Back to the hotel.
338
00:28:47,065 --> 00:28:49,579
You act like a cop that just
lost a conviction?
339
00:28:49,639 --> 00:28:52,877
Maybe I have, take a look at these.
Fresh out of the photo lab.
340
00:28:54,339 --> 00:28:56,808
Sharks don't talk, the
fingerprints spell Kelly.
341
00:28:56,868 --> 00:28:59,413
The Coroner said he was dead two
hours before he hit the water.
342
00:28:59,473 --> 00:29:01,807
Too bad. With the information
Kelly had for us
343
00:29:01,867 --> 00:29:04,186
we could have put Vince
away for a long stretch.
344
00:29:05,335 --> 00:29:07,066
What's eating you, Joe?
345
00:29:07,563 --> 00:29:09,295
I was a smart cop.
346
00:29:09,355 --> 00:29:12,712
I put Petey away to get him off of
Kelly's tail, and this is what happens.
347
00:29:12,772 --> 00:29:14,594
I feel like I killed Kelly.
348
00:29:14,654 --> 00:29:16,897
Riccardi...think he's tied up in it?
349
00:29:16,957 --> 00:29:19,909
Walking back into town that day
could tie him up in anything.
350
00:29:20,237 --> 00:29:22,706
Is the case my baby?
-All yours.
351
00:29:24,916 --> 00:29:26,301
Now what?
352
00:29:26,361 --> 00:29:28,936
I figure we shouldn't keep
it a secret from Vince.
353
00:29:40,844 --> 00:29:43,087
Only six days in the week now, huh?
354
00:29:43,455 --> 00:29:46,557
How do you like that, the card
must have fell out.
355
00:29:46,617 --> 00:29:48,604
It was there yesterday. Nick...
356
00:29:48,664 --> 00:29:50,125
Who's Jane Doe?
357
00:29:50,185 --> 00:29:52,817
Please, Lieutenant. I don't look
at their birth certificate.
358
00:29:52,877 --> 00:29:55,075
Lots of people don't use
their right names.
359
00:29:55,135 --> 00:29:59,002
With me, a buck is a buck.
I don't ask questions.
360
00:29:59,318 --> 00:30:02,435
Before I'm through, Nick...
you'll be answering a few.
361
00:30:08,026 --> 00:30:12,377
It's gettin' so you can't tail a guy anymore
without having the cops jump on ya.
362
00:30:12,437 --> 00:30:14,666
This town's goin' to the dogs.
363
00:30:14,981 --> 00:30:18,143
Samson and me...
-Petey! Get that cat off the desk!
364
00:30:18,776 --> 00:30:22,133
I was just saying, Samson and
me could stand a vacation.
365
00:30:22,389 --> 00:30:25,340
You want us to blow town?
-That's just what I don't want.
366
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,047
Coke will set you up, and stay quiet!
367
00:30:28,107 --> 00:30:30,667
Well, sure Vince, sure.
Anything you say.
368
00:31:05,567 --> 00:31:06,922
Hello, Danny.
369
00:31:16,370 --> 00:31:18,327
Come in. Come in, Joe.
370
00:31:18,674 --> 00:31:22,543
Pull up a chair and rest your feet.
I hear you've had a busy day.
371
00:31:26,329 --> 00:31:29,099
I figured you would.
I was saving you for last.
372
00:31:30,183 --> 00:31:31,644
Should I...
373
00:31:31,930 --> 00:31:33,993
relax or call in my lawyer?
374
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:36,698
That depends on how nervous you are.
375
00:31:36,758 --> 00:31:39,529
I was always thought nervous
guys bit their nails?
376
00:31:39,589 --> 00:31:41,095
Now, let me see...
377
00:31:41,317 --> 00:31:44,675
Nick was a little bit hazy about
who Jane Doe was.
378
00:31:44,946 --> 00:31:47,144
I thought you might be able to tell me.
379
00:31:47,336 --> 00:31:49,113
Never heard of the girl.
380
00:31:49,173 --> 00:31:50,634
Then there's Petey.
381
00:31:50,694 --> 00:31:54,654
And how certain people got know where
and just when to bail him out.
382
00:31:54,714 --> 00:31:57,014
Now...nobody knows anything.
383
00:31:57,421 --> 00:31:58,912
But, we'll find him.
384
00:31:59,273 --> 00:32:01,863
We;ve got all exits out of town plugged.
385
00:32:03,697 --> 00:32:06,483
And I got a hunch he'll
be real cooperative.
386
00:32:06,769 --> 00:32:08,063
You see...
387
00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:10,698
I don't think he knows
anything about this.
388
00:32:11,090 --> 00:32:12,249
Kelly.
389
00:32:12,798 --> 00:32:15,162
He's gone and gotten himself killed.
390
00:32:15,915 --> 00:32:17,571
Just like Kelly...
391
00:32:17,842 --> 00:32:19,920
You never know what he'll do next.
392
00:32:20,191 --> 00:32:21,983
That goes for a lot of guys.
393
00:32:22,449 --> 00:32:23,910
Take you and...
394
00:32:24,482 --> 00:32:26,529
Then again, take Eddie Riccardi...
395
00:32:26,589 --> 00:32:29,962
You boys forgive and forget,
and back in business again.
396
00:32:31,037 --> 00:32:34,485
You and Riccardi got a lot in common,
why don't you ask him?
397
00:32:34,545 --> 00:32:36,352
At the moment, you're number one.
398
00:32:36,623 --> 00:32:40,281
And, it won't be any...manslaughter
charge and out in two years.
399
00:32:41,076 --> 00:32:43,048
I put you away this time...
400
00:32:43,334 --> 00:32:44,840
it'll be for keeps.
401
00:32:47,035 --> 00:32:50,031
You got all the answers figured
out, haven't you?
402
00:32:50,091 --> 00:32:52,636
I might have, sooner than you think.
403
00:32:53,959 --> 00:32:55,479
So sorry!
404
00:33:35,693 --> 00:33:39,292
Me, I never had a complaint.
You call my old boss.
405
00:33:39,352 --> 00:33:42,115
He'll tell you my bringing in 500
a night at the gambling tables
406
00:33:42,175 --> 00:33:44,344
was a small bag of tell.
407
00:33:45,169 --> 00:33:48,993
Oh, Mr Alexander! I just came in looking
for a job and I was telling Ms Martin...
408
00:33:49,053 --> 00:33:50,378
Get rid of her.
409
00:33:51,278 --> 00:33:55,238
Vince, we need some new talent...
-Okay! Okay! Come back at eight tonight.
410
00:33:55,298 --> 00:33:58,324
She'll tell you what to do.
-Oh, gee! Thanks!
411
00:34:01,806 --> 00:34:03,899
You know Eddie's still in town?
412
00:34:05,013 --> 00:34:06,172
Yes.
413
00:34:06,353 --> 00:34:08,024
Been around to see you?
414
00:34:09,667 --> 00:34:10,796
When?
415
00:34:11,534 --> 00:34:13,266
Late last night.
416
00:34:14,184 --> 00:34:16,548
Did he tell ya I gave him
24 hours to get out?
417
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,249
No.
418
00:34:19,872 --> 00:34:22,793
Well, I changed my mind.
I want him to stay.
419
00:34:23,049 --> 00:34:25,142
I want you to make sure he does stay.
420
00:34:26,876 --> 00:34:29,827
My job's to work the tables
for you here, Vince, and...
421
00:34:30,324 --> 00:34:34,961
I don't even mind setups like the one with
Petey or...other deals like that, but...
422
00:34:36,439 --> 00:34:37,613
Vince...
423
00:34:38,336 --> 00:34:40,534
Stay out of my personal life!
424
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:42,311
Listen you...
425
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,041
When Eddie dropped you, who picked
you up and gave you your health?
426
00:34:46,101 --> 00:34:49,053
Who gave you your job?
Everything you got?
427
00:34:49,459 --> 00:34:51,206
Vince Alexander!
428
00:34:52,806 --> 00:34:54,538
I won't do it, Vince.
429
00:34:54,598 --> 00:34:55,923
Forget Eddie.
430
00:34:55,983 --> 00:34:57,639
When I get through with him.
431
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,717
But, now you're gonna meet him.
432
00:35:00,715 --> 00:35:03,440
And, I want you to make sure
he does stay in town.
433
00:35:34,220 --> 00:35:35,566
What'll it be?
434
00:35:35,626 --> 00:35:37,854
Did five years make you
forget that easily?
435
00:35:37,914 --> 00:35:41,016
I told you...in five years you
can forget a lot of things.
436
00:35:41,076 --> 00:35:43,064
Something for the lady?
-Rob Roy, please.
437
00:35:43,124 --> 00:35:44,491
The same.
438
00:35:48,131 --> 00:35:50,932
What made you change your mind
about seeing me again?
439
00:35:54,897 --> 00:35:58,210
You know, finding out I was married
to you kind of threw me.
440
00:35:58,992 --> 00:36:02,169
It was even something the boys at
the hospital used to rib me about.
441
00:36:02,564 --> 00:36:05,605
They had me fixed up with a
wife and four or five kids.
442
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:09,881
They didn't know how close the
gag came to being true.
443
00:36:11,474 --> 00:36:13,672
You still don't believe me, do you?
444
00:36:21,056 --> 00:36:25,236
Maybe this'll convince you it was Eddie
Rice that rang your doorbell last night.
445
00:36:26,537 --> 00:36:29,909
Call Dr Kemble at Letterman's
Hospital in San Francisco.
446
00:36:31,007 --> 00:36:33,025
He'll tell you the whole story.
447
00:36:38,141 --> 00:36:39,767
Tha cigarette case...
448
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,323
Doesn't it mean anything to you?
449
00:36:47,468 --> 00:36:48,868
Should it?
450
00:36:54,926 --> 00:36:57,350
Suppose I did believe you, then what?
451
00:36:59,488 --> 00:37:03,569
Then, I'd try and make you forget that
Eddie Riccardi was ever in your life.
452
00:37:04,476 --> 00:37:06,403
You think you can do that?
453
00:37:07,216 --> 00:37:08,737
Eddie Rice can.
454
00:37:20,823 --> 00:37:22,570
Eddie, leave town.
455
00:37:24,533 --> 00:37:27,228
Now you're talking like Vince.
-Maybe I was yesterday.
456
00:37:27,288 --> 00:37:30,492
Don't ask me why, but go.
-Nina, I don't frighten easily.
457
00:37:30,552 --> 00:37:33,353
You can take that message back to Vince.
Tell him I'm staying!
458
00:37:33,413 --> 00:37:36,816
That's what he wants you to do. That's
why I'm here, to keep you from leaving.
459
00:37:36,876 --> 00:37:38,740
I'd hate to disappoint him then.
460
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,895
Eddie, don't be stubborn, I know Vince.
He doesn't do anything without a reason.
461
00:37:43,964 --> 00:37:45,530
Neither do I.
462
00:37:47,802 --> 00:37:52,590
Stay then! Get yourself beaten up again,
or killed. Do anything you want.
463
00:38:35,782 --> 00:38:38,267
Riccardi.
-Very interesting.
464
00:38:47,205 --> 00:38:48,936
Scotch over water.
465
00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:53,136
Lose something, Charlie?
466
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,406
Tell Nina Martin, Eddie wants to see her.
-Eddie who?
467
00:38:59,658 --> 00:39:01,103
Just Eddie.
468
00:39:01,630 --> 00:39:03,060
Wait here.
469
00:39:11,467 --> 00:39:12,943
What'll I need?
470
00:39:13,003 --> 00:39:15,653
A thousand might bring you luck.
-A thousand?
471
00:39:15,894 --> 00:39:17,475
Give me a thousand.
472
00:39:24,925 --> 00:39:27,891
A character called Eddie's outside,
wants to see you.
473
00:39:27,951 --> 00:39:29,412
Eddie here?
474
00:39:29,788 --> 00:39:31,204
Get rid of him!
475
00:39:31,425 --> 00:39:33,668
That's not what Vince had in mind.
476
00:39:43,422 --> 00:39:44,972
All right, come on.
477
00:39:53,097 --> 00:39:54,663
6...9...12!
478
00:39:54,919 --> 00:39:56,636
All bets down.
479
00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:04,549
It's a nice layout. Vince ought to be
able to pick up some fast money.
480
00:40:04,609 --> 00:40:07,063
You're crazy to come walking in here.
481
00:40:07,123 --> 00:40:09,273
Maybe I'm just hard to convince.
482
00:40:10,477 --> 00:40:12,374
My dressing room is back there.
483
00:40:13,925 --> 00:40:16,590
I'll be back before the
wheel stops turning.
484
00:40:34,853 --> 00:40:35,973
Yeah?
485
00:40:37,478 --> 00:40:38,939
Okay, thanks.
486
00:40:43,645 --> 00:40:45,813
So, she wanted to get rid of him.
487
00:40:47,179 --> 00:40:50,040
I wonder if that dame is trying
to pull a double cross.
488
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,129
Get down to the Golden Horn and pick up
Eddie Riccardi, you'll find him with Nina.
489
00:40:55,189 --> 00:40:56,270
Just him?
490
00:40:56,571 --> 00:40:57,746
Just him.
491
00:40:58,197 --> 00:41:00,110
I'll get around to her later.
492
00:41:03,747 --> 00:41:05,569
I started to leave...
493
00:41:05,794 --> 00:41:08,309
but I kept thinking about
everything you told me.
494
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,230
If I'd of left I'd been all the
things you said I was.
495
00:41:11,727 --> 00:41:13,232
So, I'm staying.
496
00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:17,505
And, I'm taking you out of here.
497
00:41:18,498 --> 00:41:19,673
Nina.
498
00:41:21,043 --> 00:41:23,436
We could have a decent life together.
499
00:41:26,553 --> 00:41:28,465
You got it all figured out.
500
00:41:31,452 --> 00:41:36,089
Well, you're not taking me anywhere.
You pushed me into this life and I like it.
501
00:41:36,481 --> 00:41:41,374
I'm top bait around here steering nice,
fat, pigeons to the gambling table.
502
00:41:41,434 --> 00:41:46,174
I'm one of Vince's kind now and I'm keeping
my life and my job just the way they are.
503
00:41:46,234 --> 00:41:48,026
No matter what I have to do!
504
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:49,934
Come on.
505
00:41:59,090 --> 00:42:00,144
Thanks.
506
00:42:10,804 --> 00:42:13,469
Now, how about some champagne?
507
00:42:14,389 --> 00:42:17,581
Excuse me for a minute, honey.
I forgot I got to call my wife.
508
00:42:32,729 --> 00:42:35,048
Williams, Homicide.
Yeah, Barnes.
509
00:42:36,509 --> 00:42:37,653
Yeah!
510
00:42:38,586 --> 00:42:39,881
Thanks a lot!
511
00:42:40,377 --> 00:42:41,898
What's exciting?
512
00:42:50,385 --> 00:42:54,646
I said, what's exciting? Or, don't
you want to wake me up?
513
00:42:55,138 --> 00:42:59,113
Barnes casing the Golden Horn for vice
intel, tells me Riccardi just walked in.
514
00:42:59,805 --> 00:43:01,266
Trouble maybe?
515
00:43:01,717 --> 00:43:04,924
I could think of plenty of reasons why
there might be for Eddie Rice.
516
00:43:05,478 --> 00:43:07,300
You'll hear from me later.
517
00:43:25,961 --> 00:43:28,189
How you coming with that
Kelly report, Ben?
518
00:43:28,249 --> 00:43:30,945
Just finishing up for you.
-Okay, I'll wait.
519
00:43:33,515 --> 00:43:36,586
Somebody must've believed in that
old gag about an apple a day.
520
00:43:36,646 --> 00:43:40,513
Yeah, but they didn't know it would pin
a murder on them. -Quite an appetite.
521
00:43:40,573 --> 00:43:43,253
Psychological, it creates
a false hunger.
522
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:50,156
Well, here you are, Joe.
I can go home now.
523
00:43:50,216 --> 00:43:53,454
Thanks a lot, Ben. See you tomorrow.
-Okay, see ya tomorrow.
524
00:44:06,875 --> 00:44:07,778
Yeah?
525
00:44:07,838 --> 00:44:10,970
I'm interested in Eddie Riccardi,
not in what's going on in there.
526
00:44:11,030 --> 00:44:13,680
We don't know from Riccardi.
-I do, open up.
527
00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:18,240
Place your bets, folks. Place your
bets. Bet high/low...odd or even.
528
00:44:38,711 --> 00:44:39,795
Yes?
529
00:44:39,990 --> 00:44:43,438
Miss Martin? Williams, Homicide.
May I come in please?
530
00:44:43,732 --> 00:44:44,982
Come in.
531
00:44:47,432 --> 00:44:50,820
Eddie was just picked up by Danny.
-Where'd he take him?
532
00:44:52,557 --> 00:44:54,424
You'll hear from me later.
533
00:45:14,826 --> 00:45:16,377
You know, Williams?
534
00:45:17,054 --> 00:45:19,524
I'm not used to cops with insomnia.
535
00:45:20,201 --> 00:45:22,791
What's on your mind?
-It won't take long.
536
00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:25,960
Danny picked up Eddie Riccardi.
Where are they?
537
00:45:27,537 --> 00:45:29,329
You're in an awful rut.
538
00:45:29,540 --> 00:45:31,497
Always asking questions.
539
00:45:31,557 --> 00:45:33,846
All right...let's start over.
540
00:45:34,581 --> 00:45:37,306
Eddie was at the Golden Horn
with Nina Martin.
541
00:45:37,366 --> 00:45:39,685
Suddenly, he wasn't there anymore.
542
00:45:40,208 --> 00:45:41,368
So...
543
00:45:41,578 --> 00:45:44,018
So...I don't mind waiting.
544
00:45:45,900 --> 00:45:48,053
While we kill a little time...
545
00:45:49,429 --> 00:45:51,176
This might interest you.
546
00:46:01,803 --> 00:46:05,733
And, after we pick up Riccardi...
we're going down to police headquarters.
547
00:46:06,034 --> 00:46:08,579
You're gonna have a manicure...on me.
548
00:46:10,294 --> 00:46:13,380
You know, you're gonna look awful
silly when I get through with you.
549
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,819
If I'm wrong...I'll apologize.
550
00:46:21,050 --> 00:46:23,264
Say hello, nothing more.
551
00:46:25,733 --> 00:46:26,862
Hello.
552
00:46:27,674 --> 00:46:31,408
Vince, we're at the shop. Do we
stay or bring Riccardi up there?
553
00:46:32,507 --> 00:46:34,238
Tell him you'll be down.
554
00:46:52,464 --> 00:46:53,699
Okay, Coke...
555
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,385
<i>Bring him up here.</i>
556
00:47:28,724 --> 00:47:30,530
What do you want now?
557
00:47:41,819 --> 00:47:44,605
Just when he was coming up
in the department.
558
00:49:14,591 --> 00:49:15,886
Car 9-4
559
00:49:15,946 --> 00:49:17,813
9-4 to Control-4.
560
00:49:17,873 --> 00:49:20,252
<i>Clear Frequency-4, this is an emergency.</i>
561
00:49:20,312 --> 00:49:23,126
Control-4 to 94, go ahead.
562
00:49:23,186 --> 00:49:25,099
<i>Car 94 to Control-4</i>
563
00:49:25,159 --> 00:49:29,209
<i>Notify the Homicide Bureau, we have found
the body of Lt Williams in his car.</i>
564
00:49:29,269 --> 00:49:31,133
At Sepulveda and Sunset.
565
00:50:17,423 --> 00:50:18,763
Give you a lift, son?
566
00:50:18,823 --> 00:50:21,485
Thanks, I had a little accident
back up a side road.
567
00:50:21,545 --> 00:50:24,556
I have to go to town, get a tow car.
-Anybody killed?
568
00:50:27,016 --> 00:50:29,561
No luck at all tonight.
Hop in.
569
00:50:39,349 --> 00:50:42,090
Bet you thought I wouldn't stop
to pick you up, didn't you?
570
00:50:42,150 --> 00:50:43,638
I didn't know.
571
00:50:43,698 --> 00:50:45,113
It's late.
-See...
572
00:50:45,173 --> 00:50:49,130
That's why I fooled you. Have me orders.
Pick up anybody, anytime.
573
00:50:49,747 --> 00:50:51,870
Green Acres Morticians policy.
574
00:50:52,094 --> 00:50:54,698
Live today...maybe a customer tomorrow.
575
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,400
Pays off too.
576
00:50:56,460 --> 00:50:59,848
Most people remember the nice things
you do for them while they're living.
577
00:50:59,908 --> 00:51:03,864
We sure don't get any complaints about our
service from them after they're dead.
578
00:51:03,924 --> 00:51:05,927
Their family, that is.
579
00:51:07,423 --> 00:51:09,441
That accident hurt you any?
580
00:51:10,992 --> 00:51:13,069
Got a match?
-Sure do.
581
00:51:19,645 --> 00:51:21,813
Police, ambulance and everything.
582
00:51:22,114 --> 00:51:24,312
I wonder if I'm losing any customers?
583
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:40,902
Finished with Joe's stuff yet?
-Still working on it.
584
00:51:43,326 --> 00:51:44,816
It's too bad...
585
00:51:45,434 --> 00:51:48,460
Joe's wife sure liked him
in that suit too.
586
00:52:13,311 --> 00:52:16,021
Any line on Riccardi yet?
-Nothing, Captain.
587
00:52:16,081 --> 00:52:19,710
Keep trying, he's the last one who
might of seen Joe. -Okay.
588
00:52:20,197 --> 00:52:21,718
Eddie Riccardi.
589
00:52:24,187 --> 00:52:26,445
Guess Williams was right after all.
590
00:52:26,701 --> 00:52:28,538
Riccardi or Rice.
591
00:52:28,826 --> 00:52:32,530
A Silver Star and a dumb look doesn't
change a no good heel.
592
00:52:33,147 --> 00:52:36,173
Attention all units!
Attention all units!
593
00:52:36,233 --> 00:52:40,175
Be on the lookout for the following
<i>described suspect, wanted for murder:</i>
594
00:52:40,551 --> 00:52:43,322
<i>Eddie Riccardi, alias Eddie Rice,</i>
595
00:52:43,589 --> 00:52:46,164
<i>White male, American,</i>
596
00:52:46,224 --> 00:52:49,341
<i>Age 33, 6 foot 2.</i>
597
00:52:49,729 --> 00:52:51,506
<i>190 lbs...</i>
598
00:52:51,957 --> 00:52:53,312
<i>Dark brown...</i>
599
00:52:53,659 --> 00:52:55,944
You phone the cops and do 'em a favor,
600
00:52:56,004 --> 00:53:00,024
where to find a dead cop and the guy
that did it, and what happens...
601
00:53:05,972 --> 00:53:08,035
The first stop is Nina Martin's.
602
00:53:08,276 --> 00:53:10,474
I want Eddie before the cops get him.
603
00:53:10,730 --> 00:53:12,913
Then they can have him for a present.
604
00:53:14,334 --> 00:53:15,915
And alive!
605
00:53:32,066 --> 00:53:33,843
Eddie!
-Shut up!
606
00:53:34,168 --> 00:53:36,065
Get those lights out!
607
00:53:37,285 --> 00:53:39,152
Eddie, what happened?
608
00:53:40,533 --> 00:53:43,951
You certainly did a neat job
of tying me into a murder.
609
00:53:44,011 --> 00:53:46,089
Joe Williams was killed tonight.
610
00:53:46,149 --> 00:53:47,901
You?
-I don't know.
611
00:53:47,961 --> 00:53:51,138
The last thing I remember was being slugged
over the head at Vince Alexander's.
612
00:53:51,198 --> 00:53:53,713
I know you think that...
-I haven't got time to think!
613
00:53:53,773 --> 00:53:57,811
All I want is a few bucks, your car and
you in my sight till I get out of here!
614
00:53:57,871 --> 00:53:59,874
Eddie, you've got to believe me!
615
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:01,335
Believe?
616
00:54:01,656 --> 00:54:03,508
Like you believed me?
617
00:54:03,885 --> 00:54:05,661
Give me the keys!
618
00:54:10,271 --> 00:54:14,017
Eddie! This is why I turned on you
tonight, to get you away from Vince.
619
00:54:14,077 --> 00:54:16,992
The keys are in the car, you go,
I'll try to stall them off.
620
00:54:17,224 --> 00:54:19,468
And get a bullet in the back of my head?
621
00:54:19,528 --> 00:54:22,404
Oh, Eddie! You've got to trust me,
it's your only chance.
622
00:54:24,815 --> 00:54:26,091
Quick!
623
00:54:26,444 --> 00:54:28,043
The garage.
624
00:55:25,770 --> 00:55:29,188
This is where you get out. -Go to the
police, Eddie. Before it's too late.
625
00:55:29,248 --> 00:55:32,400
With my fingerprints all over the
gun and all over Williams car?
626
00:55:32,460 --> 00:55:35,257
I wouldn't last long enough to walk
to the nearest police station.
627
00:55:35,317 --> 00:55:38,133
If I did what could I tell them?
Now out!
628
00:55:38,788 --> 00:55:41,737
You want me to go home and wait
for Vince to come back again?
629
00:55:41,797 --> 00:55:45,800
That's something Eddie Riccardo would
tell me to do, not Eddie Rice.
630
00:55:49,139 --> 00:55:50,606
All right.
631
00:56:06,538 --> 00:56:07,668
Stop.
632
00:56:11,312 --> 00:56:13,997
Keep your lights off and
the motor running.
633
00:56:57,233 --> 00:56:59,889
Well, now you've got a gun! What next?
634
00:57:01,213 --> 00:57:04,044
I didn't ask for any killings,
so I'm in the middle.
635
00:57:04,528 --> 00:57:07,711
But, I'm not going to be a clay
pigeon for Vince Alexander.
636
00:57:08,308 --> 00:57:10,513
You can't prove anything dead.
637
00:57:10,573 --> 00:57:14,597
That would make Vince very happy,
something I wouldn't want to let happen.
638
00:57:15,047 --> 00:57:18,758
Is there any place we could go, someone
you can trust to put us up for the night?
639
00:57:18,818 --> 00:57:20,299
I need time.
640
00:57:21,747 --> 00:57:23,404
Maybe there is.
641
00:57:23,464 --> 00:57:25,443
It's a long chance, but...
642
00:57:28,917 --> 00:57:31,763
You don't think you're going to
get away with this, do you?
643
00:57:32,276 --> 00:57:34,477
We're staying here till tomorrow.
644
00:57:42,766 --> 00:57:46,004
Stay away from that phone!
If it rings, let it keep ringing!
645
00:57:46,064 --> 00:57:48,953
Get rid of anybody who comes to
the door, I'll be right behind you
646
00:57:49,013 --> 00:57:50,845
in case you give the wrong answers.
647
00:57:55,517 --> 00:57:58,539
What about the girl's place?
-There and gone.
648
00:57:58,599 --> 00:58:02,705
Get a teletype out on her car immediately,
have it re-broadcast every half hour.
649
00:58:08,211 --> 00:58:10,661
I want roadblocks at all these points.
650
00:58:10,721 --> 00:58:12,705
I want the airport, the railroad station,
651
00:58:12,765 --> 00:58:15,536
all the bus terminals put
under a 24 surveillance.
652
00:58:15,596 --> 00:58:18,001
I want every hotel and
flophouse notified.
653
00:58:18,061 --> 00:58:20,818
They're in this town somewhere
and they're not getting out.
654
00:58:21,019 --> 00:58:22,354
One other thing...
655
00:58:22,414 --> 00:58:26,887
We picked up Riccardi's fingerprints on
that gun shop. He's got a gun now.
656
00:58:27,294 --> 00:58:29,421
Don't give him a chance to use it!
657
00:58:29,481 --> 00:58:31,284
All right, start moving.
658
00:58:31,344 --> 00:58:33,908
<i>The police tightened its dragnet
about the city today.</i>
659
00:58:33,968 --> 00:58:36,988
<i>Riccardi escaped just as the police
were ready to close in on him</i>
660
00:58:37,048 --> 00:58:39,197
<i>after they received an
anonymous phone call</i>
661
00:58:39,257 --> 00:58:42,292
<i>which led them to discover the murdered
body of one of their men today.</i>
662
00:58:42,352 --> 00:58:44,067
<i>Every available man...</i>
663
00:58:47,714 --> 00:58:49,958
We'll wait till it's dark
and get out of here.
664
00:58:50,018 --> 00:58:52,423
You couldn't arrange to
drop dead before then?
665
00:58:52,483 --> 00:58:55,606
Hazel, you've got to believe us.
Eddie didn't do it!
666
00:58:55,897 --> 00:58:57,936
He should still drop dead.
667
00:58:58,269 --> 00:58:59,604
Twice.
668
01:00:12,318 --> 01:00:13,477
Coke!
669
01:00:36,274 --> 01:00:38,401
Get me a couple of clean towels.
670
01:00:42,231 --> 01:00:43,771
It's pretty bad.
671
01:00:44,739 --> 01:00:49,052
I'll have you out of here in a minute,
we'll find a doctor. -Go to the police.
672
01:00:49,497 --> 01:00:51,448
Eddie, go to the police.
673
01:00:53,848 --> 01:00:55,961
Your car in the garage?
-Yes.
674
01:00:56,021 --> 01:00:58,704
Where are your keys?
-In my purse.
675
01:00:58,764 --> 01:01:00,288
Take care of her.
676
01:01:22,875 --> 01:01:23,843
Thanks.
677
01:01:23,903 --> 01:01:26,748
I'll have the doctor come right
in the moment he returns.
678
01:01:38,651 --> 01:01:40,602
Light me a cigarette.
679
01:02:02,498 --> 01:02:04,288
You're far away.
680
01:02:06,205 --> 01:02:07,614
How far?
681
01:02:09,418 --> 01:02:10,885
Five years.
682
01:02:11,545 --> 01:02:13,041
A lifetime.
683
01:02:14,259 --> 01:02:15,961
Beyond that, a blank.
684
01:02:17,162 --> 01:02:18,879
Me too, Eddie.
685
01:02:18,939 --> 01:02:21,270
Only, it's been a different
kind of a blank.
686
01:02:21,798 --> 01:02:24,453
It's being pushed back
to Eddie Riccardi.
687
01:02:24,937 --> 01:02:26,184
This.
688
01:02:26,811 --> 01:02:30,215
The whole past that keeps me
from being like other people.
689
01:02:30,992 --> 01:02:32,763
Now all that's left is
690
01:02:32,823 --> 01:02:36,460
wondering what it would be like if there
had only been an Eddie Rice.
691
01:02:38,540 --> 01:02:41,287
If I'd of just met you
for the first time.
692
01:02:43,087 --> 01:02:45,508
Eddie Rice can have that.
693
01:02:48,248 --> 01:02:50,610
Oh, you're...good, Eddie.
694
01:02:51,681 --> 01:02:53,368
You're good.
695
01:02:54,934 --> 01:02:57,622
You've taken away the hate in me.
696
01:02:58,176 --> 01:02:59,995
Destroyed it.
697
01:03:01,946 --> 01:03:03,912
You're...good, Eddie.
698
01:03:07,874 --> 01:03:10,573
When a baby wants to be born,
hours don't matter!
699
01:03:10,633 --> 01:03:12,554
7 poundsd 7ounces...a boy.
700
01:03:12,614 --> 01:03:14,549
Doctor, her shoulder...
701
01:03:29,779 --> 01:03:31,760
I can't treat gun wounds.
702
01:03:31,820 --> 01:03:34,679
She'll have to go to the police
emergency hospital.
703
01:03:34,739 --> 01:03:36,179
I don't think so.
704
01:03:36,239 --> 01:03:39,260
I'm sorry, but I've got to report
this to the police.
705
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:40,624
Doctor.
706
01:03:41,138 --> 01:03:43,191
That report to the police...
707
01:03:43,539 --> 01:03:44,918
It'll wait.
708
01:03:45,123 --> 01:03:47,368
If you want to pull that
trigger, go ahead.
709
01:03:49,535 --> 01:03:51,603
Police headquarters, please.
710
01:03:53,055 --> 01:03:56,092
Put that gun away! I said I was
going to call the police.
711
01:03:56,293 --> 01:03:57,775
Police headquarters?
712
01:03:57,980 --> 01:04:00,914
This is Dr Stacey, 93 Chestnut Street.
713
01:04:01,174 --> 01:04:03,492
Send an ambulance and a squad car.
714
01:04:09,003 --> 01:04:10,602
How bad is it?
715
01:04:14,534 --> 01:04:16,118
She'll be all right.
716
01:04:18,447 --> 01:04:20,262
You'd better leave.
717
01:04:27,035 --> 01:04:30,805
Eddie, I'm scared...I'm scared...
-Take it easy, you'll be all right.
718
01:04:30,865 --> 01:04:33,341
Not for me, for you.
-Listen...
719
01:04:33,531 --> 01:04:37,507
I'm leaving you for a little while.
I've got an idea, it might work.
720
01:04:37,567 --> 01:04:39,672
Something very important.
721
01:04:40,214 --> 01:04:44,395
You knew all about me. The people
I used to know, the places I went.
722
01:04:44,699 --> 01:04:46,855
Think for me, go back five years.
723
01:04:46,915 --> 01:04:51,110
Who was there? Just one person.
Give me the answers, quick!
724
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,289
What you say is my only chance,
the only chance I've got.
725
01:04:54,349 --> 01:04:58,231
The only one left is...Petey.
He can't be trusted with Vince.
726
01:04:58,291 --> 01:05:01,337
Where will I find him?
-Not him, he's... -Tell me!
727
01:05:01,759 --> 01:05:04,457
Two, three places on Main Street.
728
01:05:05,198 --> 01:05:07,034
Fourth and Main...
729
01:05:07,094 --> 01:05:10,091
And after Nina ran in front of him,
Coke never had a chance.
730
01:05:10,151 --> 01:05:11,748
That Eddie sure didn't miss.
731
01:05:11,808 --> 01:05:14,345
Coke took three, went right through
his breakfast, lunch and supper.
732
01:05:14,405 --> 01:05:16,575
Anybody come around, ask any questions?
733
01:05:16,635 --> 01:05:19,900
None I couldn't answer, Vince.
-Get back down and keep him company.
734
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,570
But...but, the police?
-That's exactly what I want!
735
01:05:22,630 --> 01:05:25,559
Tell him how Riccardi broke into your
apartment, found Coke there
736
01:05:25,619 --> 01:05:28,727
pulled his gun and fired. Now do
what I told you, just that!
737
01:05:29,035 --> 01:05:31,250
All right, Vince.
-Take her back!
738
01:05:35,048 --> 01:05:37,293
Eddie's got to find a doctor somewhere.
739
01:05:37,484 --> 01:05:39,581
And, if he does what I think, he'll...
740
01:05:39,772 --> 01:05:42,295
dump the girl...and start looking
for a hidewaway.
741
01:05:43,785 --> 01:05:44,973
Get going!
742
01:05:45,033 --> 01:05:48,039
Spread the news I got a personal
interest in Eddie Riccardi.
743
01:05:48,099 --> 01:05:50,870
I don't want anything to happen
to him...until I get there.
744
01:05:51,389 --> 01:05:53,443
Unless the cops get him first.
745
01:05:54,467 --> 01:05:57,841
You through with him, Doc?
-Yup. He was a fine specimen.
746
01:05:57,901 --> 01:06:00,041
Would have had a long life
if this hadn't happened.
747
01:06:00,101 --> 01:06:02,051
I'll send you my report in the morning.
748
01:06:05,694 --> 01:06:08,335
I'm sure you don't mind coming
downtown, Miss Downs?
749
01:06:08,395 --> 01:06:10,477
Well, I...
-I thought not.
750
01:06:12,659 --> 01:06:14,859
What'd you find?
-It was them all right.
751
01:06:14,919 --> 01:06:17,471
Riccardi left the doctor's office
about 30 minutes ago
752
01:06:17,531 --> 01:06:20,830
Notify Communications? -They're blanketing
the whole area. -The girl?
753
01:06:20,890 --> 01:06:25,608
County Jail Hospital. Still out, whether
she's playing it safe or just not talking.
754
01:06:25,668 --> 01:06:29,085
Keep Melon there, the minute she comes
out, I want to know. -Any ideas?
755
01:06:29,145 --> 01:06:31,970
Lots! We need Riccardi to
explain some of them.
756
01:06:32,157 --> 01:06:34,196
If he lives that long.
757
01:06:38,347 --> 01:06:41,120
Hello. I'm looking for Petey,
have you seen him?
758
01:06:42,691 --> 01:06:44,671
Do you know where to find him?
759
01:06:57,552 --> 01:07:00,780
<i>Nina said three or four places,
I must have hit twenty.</i>
760
01:07:01,245 --> 01:07:03,196
<i>And every answer the same.</i>
761
01:07:03,710 --> 01:07:04,810
<i>No.</i>
762
01:07:05,803 --> 01:07:08,605
<i>The shake of their head,
a frightened face.</i>
763
01:07:10,111 --> 01:07:14,043
<i>They knew where I could find what I was
looking for, but they wouldn't talk.</i>
764
01:07:14,483 --> 01:07:16,141
<i>They were scared.</i>
765
01:08:08,257 --> 01:08:11,660
But, Vince! Appreciate the fact
that at least I called you.
766
01:08:11,961 --> 01:08:14,015
I let him stay, it's another rap.
767
01:08:14,075 --> 01:08:17,623
Another rap, I get life! You've
got to appreciate that!
768
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,296
And I'd appreciate it if you'd
tell me where to find Petey.
769
01:08:24,044 --> 01:08:25,306
Right now!
770
01:08:25,366 --> 01:08:26,758
Sure, Eddie.
771
01:08:27,096 --> 01:08:28,152
Sure.
772
01:08:34,841 --> 01:08:36,822
Ocean Boulevard and 25th.
773
01:09:43,996 --> 01:09:46,490
Who's there? Who is it?
-Eddie.
774
01:09:47,355 --> 01:09:48,910
Eddie Riccardi.
775
01:09:49,277 --> 01:09:52,886
Oh, Eddie boy. Every cop in the
city is out gunning for you!
776
01:09:53,350 --> 01:09:55,403
Maybe you don't care if you live...
777
01:09:55,711 --> 01:09:57,604
I got a few more years left!
778
01:09:57,839 --> 01:09:59,526
Open the door, Petey.
779
01:10:00,083 --> 01:10:01,799
You're dead if you don't.
780
01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:04,769
All right, Eddie.
781
01:10:12,804 --> 01:10:15,914
You didn't think I'd leave you out
there in the cold, did you Eddie?
782
01:10:16,545 --> 01:10:20,550
Five years, no see! But, you sure got
a hot fire burning under you, huh?
783
01:10:21,019 --> 01:10:22,105
Yeah.
784
01:10:24,891 --> 01:10:26,900
You need a pal, a friend.
785
01:10:30,025 --> 01:10:32,240
Sure, I need a friend, Petey.
786
01:10:32,483 --> 01:10:36,263
Look, old friend... Will you...will
you put that mouthpiece away?
787
01:10:36,323 --> 01:10:39,153
Somehow I...I still believe they go off!
788
01:10:39,926 --> 01:10:42,669
And, Samson my cat, you remember my cat?
789
01:10:44,180 --> 01:10:46,439
He's not feeling too good again.
790
01:10:46,949 --> 01:10:49,545
You stay careful and
nothing will happen.
791
01:10:49,605 --> 01:10:53,110
Oh sure. Sure, Eddie. You're
talking to Petey, remember?
792
01:10:53,340 --> 01:10:55,746
Any objections to my moving in with you?
793
01:10:56,025 --> 01:10:58,416
I'll be gone, tomorrow or the next day.
794
01:10:58,476 --> 01:11:01,771
Oh, me? Turn away practically,
my own flesh and blood?
795
01:11:03,341 --> 01:11:04,822
Relax, Eddie.
796
01:11:08,491 --> 01:11:11,308
There you are, Eddie. Nothing's
too good for you.
797
01:11:12,355 --> 01:11:16,154
How about some food, Petey?
I haven't eaten all night.
798
01:11:16,536 --> 01:11:18,370
You haven't changed a bit.
799
01:11:18,590 --> 01:11:20,086
Always hungry!
800
01:11:20,146 --> 01:11:22,022
Still tied up with Vince?
801
01:11:24,002 --> 01:11:27,670
I do a little private eyeing on the side.
A job here, a job there.
802
01:11:28,007 --> 01:11:29,284
Nothing big.
803
01:11:31,150 --> 01:11:32,705
I'll telephone.
804
01:11:43,749 --> 01:11:47,358
Hello, friend? Petey! I got
a special customer.
805
01:11:47,828 --> 01:11:49,852
Yeah. Yeah, an old one.
806
01:11:50,881 --> 01:11:54,094
How about sending something over?
He's tired and hungry.
807
01:11:54,813 --> 01:11:56,778
A pot of coffee and a sandwich.
808
01:11:56,969 --> 01:11:58,011
Turkey.
809
01:11:58,266 --> 01:11:59,352
Tongue
810
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:01,684
Egg salad combination.
811
01:12:02,638 --> 01:12:04,442
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
812
01:12:05,543 --> 01:12:06,863
You got it.
813
01:12:12,752 --> 01:12:16,068
You see, Eddie? Everything's
just like old times.
814
01:12:16,655 --> 01:12:18,474
If you say so, Petey.
815
01:12:20,114 --> 01:12:21,948
I'm gettin' kinda sleepy.
816
01:12:22,271 --> 01:12:25,308
You just make yourself at home,
food will be along pretty soon.
817
01:12:25,368 --> 01:12:28,183
Vince has gotten to be a big
man the last five years.
818
01:12:28,675 --> 01:12:31,168
I'm really gettin' pretty tired, friend.
819
01:12:31,228 --> 01:12:33,457
Why don't you bring me
up to date, Petey?
820
01:12:33,517 --> 01:12:35,247
I'm really awful tired, friend!
821
01:12:35,307 --> 01:12:37,501
How long will it take Vince to get here?
822
01:12:37,971 --> 01:12:40,861
Eddie...Eddie, you...you embarrass me.
823
01:12:41,135 --> 01:12:43,834
I'll kill you if you don't give
it to me straight, Petey!
824
01:12:43,894 --> 01:12:47,047
Eddie...Eddie, don't talk like that.
Samson's sick!
825
01:12:47,543 --> 01:12:50,403
I'm telling you, Eddie!
-What are you telling me? How long?
826
01:12:50,463 --> 01:12:53,557
Five minutes? Ten? Fifteen minutes?
Twenty minutes?
827
01:12:54,096 --> 01:12:57,015
About...about fifteen minutes, Eddie.
828
01:12:57,323 --> 01:13:00,902
Vince puts you on the spot!
He's that way with all the boys!
829
01:13:01,162 --> 01:13:04,781
Blow Eddie! Take me with you.
You and me was always friends!
830
01:13:04,841 --> 01:13:08,273
You just stay in front of me and keep your
mouth shut and you won't get into trouble.
831
01:13:08,333 --> 01:13:11,265
Sure, Eddie! You got nothing
to worry about from me.
832
01:13:11,325 --> 01:13:14,361
Just stay my friend, Petey.
-Yeah, Eddie.
833
01:13:27,837 --> 01:13:29,935
You're retired, you can go home now.
834
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:32,601
Your friend want a ride?
-Not tonight.
835
01:13:34,995 --> 01:13:36,151
$2.80
836
01:13:36,711 --> 01:13:39,616
This will get you a thousand.
Come on, Petey.
837
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,005
Take care of Petey.
838
01:15:45,187 --> 01:15:46,434
Eddie!
839
01:15:46,625 --> 01:15:48,165
Let's get out of here!
840
01:15:49,661 --> 01:15:51,158
Go ahead, Petey.
841
01:15:51,610 --> 01:15:52,974
Thanks, Eddie.
842
01:15:54,148 --> 01:15:55,615
They're coming!
843
01:18:02,988 --> 01:18:04,191
Eddie.
844
01:18:04,792 --> 01:18:06,274
Can you hear me?
845
01:18:09,079 --> 01:18:10,898
We can make a break.
846
01:18:11,558 --> 01:18:13,319
Cover for each other.
847
01:18:14,096 --> 01:18:15,739
I got a place.
848
01:18:17,148 --> 01:18:18,820
You and me, Eddie.
849
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,342
We'll start up again.
850
01:18:22,914 --> 01:18:25,056
Just like old times.
851
01:18:30,072 --> 01:18:31,671
I got money, Eddie.
852
01:18:32,992 --> 01:18:34,327
Big money!
853
01:18:37,521 --> 01:18:39,355
Samson! Samson!
854
01:18:39,986 --> 01:18:41,159
Samson!
855
01:18:43,096 --> 01:18:44,841
Petey! Come back!
856
01:18:46,807 --> 01:18:47,908
Samson.
857
01:18:48,318 --> 01:18:50,446
Samson, baby. Samson.
858
01:19:47,773 --> 01:19:50,091
Riccardi! Alexander!
859
01:19:50,292 --> 01:19:53,813
We'll give you three minutes to come out.
We're gonna start counting.
860
01:19:54,135 --> 01:19:57,920
At the end of three minutes if you're
not out, we're coming to get you!
861
01:19:58,429 --> 01:20:00,600
This is your last chance, Eddie.
862
01:20:01,862 --> 01:20:04,121
There's just you and me left now.
863
01:20:04,181 --> 01:20:05,676
No deal, Vince.
864
01:20:06,455 --> 01:20:08,538
I know you killed Joe Williams.
865
01:20:08,978 --> 01:20:10,357
Okay...
866
01:20:11,516 --> 01:20:13,071
No deals.
867
01:21:51,795 --> 01:21:54,993
We want you, Riccardi..
Alive, Alexander!
868
01:21:55,595 --> 01:21:58,646
If you're in there and not wounded,
bring Riccardi out.
869
01:21:59,653 --> 01:22:03,761
You, Riccardi! If you're alone, come
out with your hands in the air!
870
01:22:06,712 --> 01:22:09,176
Here's when you and I part company.
871
01:22:09,396 --> 01:22:12,081
You're gonna get paid off in full.
872
01:22:41,345 --> 01:22:43,574
Thanks for bringing him out, Vince.
873
01:22:43,853 --> 01:22:47,169
Now, drop your gun.
I said drop your gun, Vince!
874
01:22:49,233 --> 01:22:51,932
Eddie will take what I
got first, Anderson!
875
01:22:54,015 --> 01:22:56,568
All police officers hold your fire!
876
01:22:57,552 --> 01:22:59,532
Don't be crazy, Alexander.
877
01:22:59,899 --> 01:23:02,774
There have been enough people killed.
Give yourself up.
878
01:23:02,834 --> 01:23:04,491
No bargains, Anderson!
879
01:23:04,551 --> 01:23:06,487
You want Riccardi alive...
880
01:23:06,547 --> 01:23:07,866
I want out!
881
01:23:07,926 --> 01:23:10,682
What guarantee have I got that
you won't kill Riccardi?
882
01:23:10,742 --> 01:23:13,250
You don't!
-Be sensible, Alexander.
883
01:23:13,979 --> 01:23:16,854
If we let you out now,
we'll get you later.
884
01:23:17,089 --> 01:23:19,040
You'll be dead before morning.
885
01:23:19,245 --> 01:23:21,930
You got 30 seconds to make
up your mind, Anderson!
886
01:23:22,688 --> 01:23:24,053
I go...
887
01:23:24,361 --> 01:23:26,415
or Riccardi gets it in the back!
888
01:23:29,595 --> 01:23:31,388
Sat down, Eddie! Don't move!
889
01:24:05,464 --> 01:24:06,711
Is he dead?
890
01:24:06,771 --> 01:24:09,234
He will be if we don't get
him to a hospital.
891
01:24:15,716 --> 01:24:19,090
That taxi driver must have really
gotten to you in a hurry.
892
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,980
He did, asking for a $1000 reward.
893
01:24:22,337 --> 01:24:26,826
And all the questions you want to ask...
I called Dr Kemble from San Francisco.
894
01:24:27,149 --> 01:24:31,242
We knew Vince killed Jow Williams,
we found his blood on Joe's clothing.
895
01:24:31,604 --> 01:24:34,435
It matched up with our
lab files, yours didn't.
896
01:24:34,740 --> 01:24:37,351
And, Hazel told us the truth about Coke.
897
01:24:37,747 --> 01:24:41,254
Now, just get well. We'll finish
our business later.
898
01:24:42,217 --> 01:24:43,391
Nina...
899
01:24:43,451 --> 01:24:45,782
She's fine...in the waiting room.
900
01:25:05,063 --> 01:25:08,173
You shouldn't kiss a guy like
that when he's sick in bed.
901
01:25:10,205 --> 01:25:14,254
Well, I've been waiting outside all the
time. They wouldn't tell me anything.
902
01:25:14,314 --> 01:25:15,970
I was afraid...
903
01:25:17,151 --> 01:25:18,647
It's all right.
904
01:25:19,674 --> 01:25:21,170
We'll go away.
905
01:25:21,230 --> 01:25:24,222
We'll find that...crazy world of yours.
906
01:25:25,698 --> 01:25:27,151
Sure.
907
01:25:30,408 --> 01:25:32,373
There's only one thing...
908
01:25:33,675 --> 01:25:35,494
You'll always be...
909
01:25:35,758 --> 01:25:37,298
Eddie Rice.
910
01:25:38,853 --> 01:25:40,540
For the rest of my life.
911
01:25:40,990 --> 01:25:43,059
I have the doc's word for him.
912
01:25:44,673 --> 01:25:46,110
Come here.

After sustaining a head wound in combat, decorated World War II veteran Eddie Rice (John Payne) is treated at a San Francisco military hospital for a permanent form of amnesia. This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.
Rice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely.

1
00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556
This is the Letterman General Hosiptal
at San Francisco, California.
2
00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219
For those outside these gates the
war is over, a thing of the past.
3
00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888
For those behind these gates there's a
grim, hard, bitter fight still going on.
4
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518
Take one case, the case
of Eddie Rice, age 33.
5
00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206
Enlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.
Holder of the Silver Star, but today...
6
00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026
A name and date number, a medical file.
For five years a chart on a hospital bed.
7
00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340
A victim of amnesia.
A mind with a blocked out past.
8
00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127
Where were you born, Eddie?
Who are your parents?
9
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912
Any brothers? Sisters?
10
00:01:54,277 --> 00:01:58,775
Where did you go to school?
What's your trade? Profession?
11
00:01:59,433 --> 00:02:01,748
Are you rich?
Poor?
12
00:02:02,051 --> 00:02:03,689
Got a girl?
13
00:02:03,915 --> 00:02:05,289
Married?
14
00:02:05,349 --> 00:02:06,869
I don't know.
15
00:02:07,378 --> 00:02:09,015
I don't know!
16
00:02:09,824 --> 00:02:11,537
I can't remember.
17
00:02:12,444 --> 00:02:14,571
I just can't remember, doctor.
18
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:30,922
You had me open. What did you quit for?
-We did the best we could, Eddie.
19
00:02:31,218 --> 00:02:33,439
It'll just have to stay there.
20
00:02:34,606 --> 00:02:38,483
Is that final?
-Unless you want your name on a headstone.
21
00:02:38,543 --> 00:02:43,592
That shrapnel's too deep in your brain.
Scar tissue has grown all around it.
22
00:02:43,652 --> 00:02:46,980
Believe me, we tried.
-Yeah, I guess you did.
23
00:02:48,391 --> 00:02:52,551
Where do I go from here?
-Eddie, there are two kinds of amnesia:
24
00:02:52,611 --> 00:02:54,895
psychological and organic.
25
00:02:55,178 --> 00:03:00,240
The psychological form is temporary, but
it can be cured through psychotherapy.
26
00:03:01,016 --> 00:03:03,876
Yours is organic, it's permanent.
27
00:03:04,347 --> 00:03:07,772
That piece of steel in your brain
has blocked out your memory.
28
00:03:07,832 --> 00:03:10,863
Which doesn't leave me much
of a future, does it?
29
00:03:10,923 --> 00:03:15,071
Of course it does, physically
you're normal and healthy.
30
00:03:15,131 --> 00:03:17,771
You've received the maximum
medical benefits
31
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:22,559
You've completed training courses that make
you fit to hold down a job and face life.
32
00:03:23,499 --> 00:03:26,540
With no address, no next
of kin, nothing.
33
00:03:27,489 --> 00:03:29,567
Enlisted from Los Angeles...
34
00:03:29,627 --> 00:03:32,397
Intelligence ran that down
for us, remember?
35
00:03:32,867 --> 00:03:35,818
Oh sure, there were a lot of
people named Rice there...
36
00:03:36,026 --> 00:03:37,682
but not this Eddie Rice.
37
00:03:37,742 --> 00:03:41,777
But, Army Intelligence didn't mow
Los Angeles lawns as a kid, Eddie.
38
00:03:41,837 --> 00:03:44,292
They didn't trade at the corner market.
39
00:03:44,352 --> 00:03:48,775
They didn't work with people in a factory,
in an office, as you might have done.
40
00:03:48,986 --> 00:03:50,136
Now...
41
00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:54,081
If you went down there...and ran
into somebody who knew you,
42
00:03:54,141 --> 00:03:55,918
just one person...
43
00:03:56,384 --> 00:03:57,694
Yes...
44
00:03:58,992 --> 00:04:01,702
If I ran into just one person
who knew me.
45
00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:03,689
One guy...
46
00:04:04,785 --> 00:04:07,149
Who would come up to me and say:
47
00:04:07,616 --> 00:04:08,775
"Eddie."
48
00:04:08,986 --> 00:04:10,491
"Eddie Rice."
49
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:12,253
"How have you been?"
50
00:04:12,581 --> 00:04:14,132
"Where have you been?"
51
00:04:14,192 --> 00:04:15,577
That's it, Eddie.
52
00:04:15,637 --> 00:04:18,766
And then, they'd tell me about
someone else I used to know.
53
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:21,626
And, I'd meet somebody else.
54
00:04:22,635 --> 00:04:24,141
And another...
55
00:04:25,342 --> 00:04:26,908
And another...
56
00:04:57,774 --> 00:05:00,996
<i>Sure, it scares you to go out into
a world you don't remember...</i>
57
00:05:01,484 --> 00:05:02,959
<i>but you're here now.</i>
58
00:05:03,742 --> 00:05:05,473
<i>It'll be a new life.</i>
59
00:05:05,805 --> 00:05:07,295
<i>A new start.</i>
60
00:05:08,231 --> 00:05:10,189
<i>Find yourself a place to live.</i>
61
00:05:10,957 --> 00:05:12,613
<i>Get yourself a job.</i>
62
00:05:13,290 --> 00:05:14,540
<i>Get going.</i>
63
00:05:15,353 --> 00:05:16,919
<i>Get going, Eddie!</i>
64
00:05:19,198 --> 00:05:20,357
Eddie!
65
00:05:20,417 --> 00:05:22,736
You know, it's a small world, Eddie.
66
00:05:22,796 --> 00:05:25,266
We came down here to pick
up a little of one thing,
67
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:28,650
and we ran into a little of another!
-A lot of us thought you were dead.
68
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:32,851
Yes, and...those that didn't hoped you
were. What are you doing in town?
69
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,642
I'm just in from San Francisco.
70
00:05:36,702 --> 00:05:40,060
I didn't ask you that.
-He asked you what you were doing in town.
71
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,354
I cam here to look up some...people.
72
00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:45,989
Funny, I...I had a feeling that was it.
73
00:05:46,049 --> 00:05:48,443
Anderson one of them?
-Anderson?
74
00:05:49,719 --> 00:05:50,698
Maybe.
75
00:05:50,758 --> 00:05:54,251
I think you're lying, Eddie. I don't think you
were gonna look up Anderson at all.
76
00:05:54,311 --> 00:05:57,458
Barrett, do you think he was gonna
look up Anderson? -No, Joe.
77
00:05:57,699 --> 00:06:00,108
Not Anderson.
-I'll tell you what...
78
00:06:00,168 --> 00:06:02,737
I got a car and nothing
to do for a while...
79
00:06:02,797 --> 00:06:05,478
Let's go see Anderson together.
Any objections?
80
00:06:07,616 --> 00:06:09,016
No objections.
81
00:06:09,076 --> 00:06:11,256
Stick around, Kelly may still show.
82
00:06:11,452 --> 00:06:12,506
Let's go.
83
00:06:35,122 --> 00:06:37,667
'Honorable discharge of Edward Rice.'
84
00:06:41,972 --> 00:06:43,568
What's the gimmick?
85
00:06:44,110 --> 00:06:46,399
If you'd put away your blackjacks
long enough
86
00:06:46,459 --> 00:06:48,431
maybe I could get it through
your heads that...
87
00:06:48,491 --> 00:06:50,714
I don't know what you're talking about.
88
00:06:50,774 --> 00:06:52,912
You got yourself a sense
of humor, Eddie.
89
00:06:52,972 --> 00:06:56,010
You think you come back here with
a dumb look and a Silver Star...
90
00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:58,958
That changes a no good heel?
-But, I'm trying to tell you that...
91
00:06:59,018 --> 00:07:01,382
You don't have to tell us
anything about yourself.
92
00:07:01,442 --> 00:07:03,881
We got it all down in black and white.
93
00:07:06,019 --> 00:07:07,630
Read it, Riccardi.
94
00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:09,313
We didn't dream it up.
95
00:07:09,795 --> 00:07:12,355
Possession of a weapon
with intent to kill.
96
00:07:12,882 --> 00:07:14,553
Suspicion of murder.
97
00:07:17,184 --> 00:07:18,566
<i>Riccardi...</i>
98
00:07:19,274 --> 00:07:20,960
<i>Eddie Riccardi.</i>
99
00:07:21,638 --> 00:07:25,236
<i>That's not me, it can't be.
It only looks like me!</i>
100
00:07:26,348 --> 00:07:29,103
<i>I better get out of here!
I've got to get out!</i>
101
00:07:29,163 --> 00:07:33,093
Five years ago we hustled you out of town,
for good. Now what are you here for?
102
00:07:34,253 --> 00:07:35,939
<i>You've got to play ball.</i>
103
00:07:35,999 --> 00:07:39,153
<i>You need time. You need more
time to find out about yourself.</i>
104
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,894
Riccardi's just playing dumb, Captain.
105
00:07:42,556 --> 00:07:44,122
Put him in the lockup.
106
00:07:44,498 --> 00:07:47,085
I'm finding about these...
discharge papers.
107
00:07:47,145 --> 00:07:49,358
If they're phonies, we'll pin a
real one on him.
108
00:07:49,418 --> 00:07:50,999
Just a minute, Lieutenant.
109
00:07:52,426 --> 00:07:56,627
I guess, maybe I didn't want the army
to know about Eddie...Riccardi.
110
00:07:57,317 --> 00:08:00,133
The only friends I have
know me as Eddie Rice.
111
00:08:00,916 --> 00:08:02,813
I'd like to keep it that way.
112
00:08:03,219 --> 00:08:05,945
That's probably the first honest
thing you've ever said.
113
00:08:06,005 --> 00:08:07,537
Pick up your things.
114
00:08:10,967 --> 00:08:14,008
Be Eddie Rice in some other
town, but not here.
115
00:08:14,068 --> 00:08:18,540
Now, we can't hold you, but...you step
out of line once and we step on you.
116
00:08:26,034 --> 00:08:28,278
Notice anything different
about him, Williams?
117
00:08:28,338 --> 00:08:31,138
Nothing! If Riccardi stays in town
there's gonna be trouble.
118
00:08:31,198 --> 00:08:34,210
I don't know. He had a strange
look about him.
119
00:08:34,667 --> 00:08:37,934
Send to Washington for a complete
report on Edward Rice.
120
00:08:37,994 --> 00:08:40,870
That Silver Star, you really
do something to get one.
121
00:08:40,930 --> 00:08:43,686
Yeah, buy it in a pawn
shop for two bits.
122
00:09:01,270 --> 00:09:04,944
Nina, my sweet!
My beautiful, lovely...
123
00:09:05,004 --> 00:09:07,609
All right, Nick! Let's keep
it all business.
124
00:09:10,063 --> 00:09:13,240
Who is it this time?
-Petey. Suspicion of robbery.
125
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:16,251
Get him out before they start
shifting him around. -Petey?
126
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:17,588
Him?
127
00:09:17,648 --> 00:09:19,726
He wouldn't steal his own shadow.
128
00:09:19,786 --> 00:09:22,056
That was William's gag to get
him out of the way.
129
00:09:22,116 --> 00:09:25,670
I wouldn't know. Bail's $1000.
-Inflation!
130
00:09:25,730 --> 00:09:27,823
That's the whole trouble these days.
131
00:09:28,847 --> 00:09:30,714
Alexander, he unhappy?
132
00:09:31,252 --> 00:09:34,188
Nick. Keep your mind on your business.
133
00:09:34,248 --> 00:09:36,233
Let Vince worry about his, huh?
134
00:09:36,293 --> 00:09:39,259
Sure, beautiful Sure.
Forget I mentioned it.
135
00:09:53,907 --> 00:09:55,970
Take my advice, you leave town.
136
00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:57,837
I've got things to do.
137
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,125
Adios, boy! You're on your own.
138
00:10:04,466 --> 00:10:05,941
Kelly never showed.
139
00:10:06,001 --> 00:10:07,071
Odd.
140
00:10:07,131 --> 00:10:08,606
We'll hear from him.
141
00:10:18,132 --> 00:10:20,074
One of the usual fronts?
142
00:10:21,098 --> 00:10:24,064
You have a lot of Jane Does, Nick.
Use one of them.
143
00:10:26,732 --> 00:10:28,328
Of course, there's a big difference
144
00:10:28,388 --> 00:10:30,617
between the Florida oranges
and the California oranges.
145
00:10:30,677 --> 00:10:33,131
At least that's what the Chamber
of Commerce in Florida says.
146
00:10:33,191 --> 00:10:35,661
And the Chamber of Commerce
in California says...
147
00:10:35,872 --> 00:10:37,874
Orange juice, please.
-Yes, ma'am.
148
00:10:41,153 --> 00:10:42,388
Eddie.
149
00:10:44,691 --> 00:10:47,281
I thought it was you from
across the street.
150
00:10:48,856 --> 00:10:49,940
Hello.
151
00:10:51,204 --> 00:10:53,794
Is that the only thing
you've got to say?
152
00:10:54,110 --> 00:10:56,640
Well, there's a lot more
I could say, but...
153
00:10:57,107 --> 00:10:58,311
but you...
154
00:10:59,299 --> 00:11:00,609
Let's see...
155
00:11:01,814 --> 00:11:03,425
Nacy Morgan?
156
00:11:03,711 --> 00:11:05,051
Nora Murphy?
157
00:11:05,292 --> 00:11:09,176
No, you don't look like Nora Murphy.
-What'd you come back for, Eddie?
158
00:11:10,216 --> 00:11:12,610
A man has a right to come
home, hasn't he?
159
00:11:14,552 --> 00:11:17,699
My car is across the street,
I'll take you there.
160
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:18,994
Sure!
161
00:11:19,175 --> 00:11:20,228
Thanks.
162
00:11:45,318 --> 00:11:47,089
Vince know you're back?
163
00:11:47,149 --> 00:11:48,360
Vince?
164
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,025
Should he?
165
00:11:51,762 --> 00:11:53,419
You oughta know.
166
00:12:02,797 --> 00:12:04,499
Thanks for the lift.
167
00:12:07,503 --> 00:12:08,828
Coming in?
168
00:12:09,264 --> 00:12:11,447
Who said this was the end of the road?
169
00:12:12,833 --> 00:12:15,091
Who's complaining? Not me.
170
00:12:40,205 --> 00:12:41,530
Checking in?
171
00:12:41,771 --> 00:12:42,870
Long?
172
00:12:44,466 --> 00:12:45,896
I don't know yet.
173
00:12:46,739 --> 00:12:48,019
Alone?
174
00:12:48,648 --> 00:12:49,672
Yes.
175
00:12:52,517 --> 00:12:55,393
Edward Rice...San Francisco.
176
00:12:58,702 --> 00:13:00,042
304.
177
00:13:03,234 --> 00:13:06,757
I'll throw the stuff in the room and
be right back. -If you say so.
178
00:13:29,744 --> 00:13:32,665
Hello? hello, this is Nina.
I want to talk to Vince.
179
00:13:32,725 --> 00:13:33,885
He's busy.
180
00:13:33,945 --> 00:13:36,203
Not too busy for what
I've got to tell him.
181
00:13:36,263 --> 00:13:37,479
<i>He's not here.</i>
182
00:13:37,539 --> 00:13:41,379
Look, let's not keep where he is a
secret it might upset your whole future.
183
00:13:41,439 --> 00:13:42,945
Put me through to him!
184
00:13:55,033 --> 00:13:56,719
You talk too much.
185
00:13:57,397 --> 00:13:59,189
Another treatment, Kelly?
186
00:14:00,453 --> 00:14:01,603
Any...
187
00:14:02,265 --> 00:14:04,750
Any second...breaks, Vince?
188
00:14:06,993 --> 00:14:09,176
I'm easy to do business with.
189
00:14:10,165 --> 00:14:11,520
If you talk...
190
00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:12,830
you live.
191
00:14:14,034 --> 00:14:16,865
All i want to hear is your
angle with Joe Williams.
192
00:14:19,271 --> 00:14:22,463
Give him a cigarette, Danny.
It'll relax him.
193
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:30,609
I'm...trusting you, Vince.
194
00:14:30,834 --> 00:14:32,792
Sure. Sure, Kelly.
195
00:14:33,474 --> 00:14:35,612
I told you we'd turn you loose.
196
00:14:35,672 --> 00:14:37,388
You understand how I...
197
00:14:37,569 --> 00:14:40,942
How a guy feels when he's been
kicked out of the organization?
198
00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:43,633
I know...
199
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:47,533
I shouldn't of been a sucker and
told Williams about the...
200
00:14:48,253 --> 00:14:50,828
...about the silver dollar.
-Forget that.
201
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,915
What did you tell him about this?
-Nothing!
202
00:14:56,455 --> 00:14:58,201
Nothing much, really.
203
00:14:59,044 --> 00:15:01,755
Vince!
-What did you tell him, Kelly?
204
00:15:01,815 --> 00:15:03,185
Really, Vince...
205
00:15:03,381 --> 00:15:04,931
Nothing important.
206
00:15:05,688 --> 00:15:06,757
Just...
207
00:15:07,178 --> 00:15:08,970
a little of this and...
208
00:15:09,527 --> 00:15:11,304
that about the...
209
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,532
about the slot machines and...
210
00:15:14,315 --> 00:15:16,333
and the take. But, I...
211
00:15:16,787 --> 00:15:18,564
I phonied the figures.
212
00:15:19,403 --> 00:15:22,550
Honest I did.
-These figures aren't phoney.
213
00:15:22,836 --> 00:15:24,447
Where'd you get 'em?
214
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,684
Snatched them out of your safe, Vince.
215
00:15:31,219 --> 00:15:33,192
Williams is waiting for 'em.
216
00:15:33,535 --> 00:15:37,359
He was going to bundle me out of town,
bring me back for the trial.
217
00:15:38,696 --> 00:15:42,083
But, I was gonna duck.
They never would of found me.
218
00:15:44,568 --> 00:15:46,480
That's the truth, Vince!
219
00:15:54,771 --> 00:15:56,021
Hello.
220
00:15:56,788 --> 00:15:58,264
Hello, Nina.
221
00:16:02,956 --> 00:16:05,242
You sure it's him?
-I was with him!
222
00:16:05,302 --> 00:16:08,524
First I saw him outside police
headquarters talking to Joe Williams,
223
00:16:08,584 --> 00:16:10,466
then I drove him to the Cortez.
224
00:16:10,689 --> 00:16:14,362
He cked in under the name
of Eddie Rice, room 304.
225
00:16:14,422 --> 00:16:15,552
Thanks.
226
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:37,164
You still want to take that trip, Kelly?
227
00:16:39,317 --> 00:16:41,560
You don't have to worry about me, Vince.
228
00:16:42,019 --> 00:16:43,028
Don.
229
00:16:44,194 --> 00:16:45,820
Big mouth Kelly.
230
00:16:46,257 --> 00:16:48,832
You think what he's got
may be contagious?
231
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:50,563
Very...catchy.
232
00:16:51,562 --> 00:16:54,648
What's your opinion, Don?
-Very, definitely.
233
00:16:56,621 --> 00:16:58,283
What can I do?
234
00:16:59,322 --> 00:17:01,686
The consultation's in agreement.
235
00:17:04,595 --> 00:17:05,769
Kelly!
236
00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:07,380
You're dead!
237
00:17:09,097 --> 00:17:10,527
Oh, and Kelly...
238
00:17:10,774 --> 00:17:14,749
When you get to where you're going,
have 'em give you a nice, even burn.
239
00:17:14,809 --> 00:17:17,579
Don't let them just fry you on one side.
240
00:18:01,054 --> 00:18:05,210
I'm sorry to bother you again, but..
has there been any sign of the girl yet?
241
00:18:07,876 --> 00:18:09,051
Thanks.
242
00:18:40,394 --> 00:18:42,743
Don't you believe in knocking on doors?
243
00:18:43,857 --> 00:18:45,814
Who are you? What do you want?
244
00:19:00,538 --> 00:19:02,661
So, that's where you've been hold up...
245
00:19:02,932 --> 00:19:04,498
Eddie Rice!
246
00:19:05,181 --> 00:19:08,990
No wonder I couldn't get a line on you.
Are you back sightseeing?
247
00:19:09,378 --> 00:19:10,854
Mr Rice?
248
00:19:13,052 --> 00:19:15,326
This supposed to be a free country?
249
00:19:15,684 --> 00:19:17,250
Free town?
250
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:18,951
Open to anyone?
251
00:19:19,011 --> 00:19:20,366
Not with me in it.
252
00:19:20,635 --> 00:19:23,240
You didn't waste much time
picking up with the cops.
253
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:27,395
Why should it worry you about
me talking to Williams?
254
00:19:27,455 --> 00:19:29,274
You've got me confused, Eddie.
255
00:19:29,771 --> 00:19:33,460
Only a sucker would walk back in
town after the deal you pulled.
256
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,979
Some things a fella has to...
257
00:19:37,401 --> 00:19:39,102
find out for himself.
258
00:19:40,096 --> 00:19:41,948
Not about you and me.
259
00:19:50,768 --> 00:19:53,283
I've been saving this for five years.
260
00:19:54,021 --> 00:19:57,378
Everyone in life has his bible,
this is mine.
261
00:19:58,978 --> 00:20:03,661
I take it out and read it every day. I read
it to remind me of a guy I grew up with.
262
00:20:03,917 --> 00:20:05,648
Got shoved around with.
263
00:20:06,277 --> 00:20:08,566
We used to take a lot of raps together.
264
00:20:09,439 --> 00:20:13,143
Some people would call a guy
like that a...a loyal friend.
265
00:20:13,968 --> 00:20:15,353
He was.
266
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:22,050
Until he turned into a dirty stool pigeon,
and let me take the rap for him!
267
00:20:38,866 --> 00:20:40,070
Eddie...
268
00:20:41,380 --> 00:20:42,811
Riccardi?
269
00:20:43,025 --> 00:20:47,105
My good friend who sold me out
to a cop named Joe Williams!
270
00:20:58,268 --> 00:21:00,541
Don't mess up his face too much.
271
00:21:03,876 --> 00:21:05,909
I ought to kill you, Eddie.
272
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:08,709
But, you're not worth taking
another rap for!
273
00:21:08,769 --> 00:21:11,058
In 24 hours...disappear!
274
00:21:11,935 --> 00:21:15,006
Otherwise, I might be tempted
to change my mind!
275
00:21:15,624 --> 00:21:17,205
Give him some air!
276
00:22:11,865 --> 00:22:14,153
<i>Why didn't the girl come back?</i>
277
00:22:15,523 --> 00:22:17,812
<i>What did she know about me?</i>
278
00:22:18,730 --> 00:22:20,808
<i>Why did she bring me here?</i>
279
00:22:21,847 --> 00:22:23,111
<i>Vince...</i>
280
00:22:24,060 --> 00:22:26,123
<i>Why didn't Vince kill me?</i>
281
00:22:27,402 --> 00:22:29,450
<i>Maybe I deserved it.</i>
282
00:22:30,625 --> 00:22:33,140
<i>Maybe Dr Kemble ought to know?</i>
283
00:22:34,224 --> 00:22:36,051
<i>I better tell him.</i>
284
00:22:37,226 --> 00:22:39,033
<i>I better call him.</i>
285
00:22:40,328 --> 00:22:41,908
<i>I better...</i>
286
00:22:44,659 --> 00:22:45,879
Hello.
287
00:22:46,391 --> 00:22:50,456
I want to put through a call, person
to person. Dr Kemble...
288
00:22:50,652 --> 00:22:53,392
Letterman Genral Hospital,
San Francisco.
289
00:22:54,435 --> 00:22:56,091
K-E-M-B-L-E
290
00:22:57,411 --> 00:22:58,736
Thank you.
291
00:23:14,170 --> 00:23:15,961
Hello, Dr Kemble?
292
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,812
When do you expect him back?
293
00:23:19,219 --> 00:23:20,920
Not till tomorrow?
294
00:23:22,121 --> 00:23:24,500
Never mind, I'll see him personally.
295
00:24:15,503 --> 00:24:18,780
Forget about Union Station.
Take me to 7 Braxton Avenue.
296
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:30,476
Wait for me.
297
00:24:51,762 --> 00:24:53,961
Thanks a lot Lou, for driving me home.
298
00:24:54,021 --> 00:24:57,393
Just a minute, darling.
I'll walk to the door with you.
299
00:24:58,990 --> 00:25:02,378
It's early, Nina. A little drink for
a nightcap won't hurt you.
300
00:25:02,589 --> 00:25:04,456
That's what you think.
301
00:25:04,516 --> 00:25:07,825
You could make me forget that
thousand I dropped tonight, Nina.
302
00:25:07,885 --> 00:25:11,182
I can forget a lot of things, Lou.
You, for instance.
303
00:25:11,242 --> 00:25:13,633
Good night.
-Just a minute, baby.
304
00:25:13,693 --> 00:25:16,328
I'd like a little receipt
for that grand.
305
00:25:19,246 --> 00:25:20,827
That's better.
306
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:25,539
That's your receipt. Good night.
307
00:25:45,117 --> 00:25:46,758
Now listen...
308
00:25:50,045 --> 00:25:51,461
Go ahead.
309
00:25:51,521 --> 00:25:53,237
Take a good look.
310
00:25:53,629 --> 00:25:58,055
If you came to tell me how Vince welcomed
you back, you've said it. So, goodbye!
311
00:25:58,673 --> 00:26:02,272
I want to know what you had
to do with me...in my life.
312
00:26:04,596 --> 00:26:06,057
And this.
313
00:26:10,473 --> 00:26:12,160
December the 24th,
314
00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:13,801
1943.
315
00:26:14,162 --> 00:26:16,120
Ah, that was a lovely Christmas.
316
00:26:16,903 --> 00:26:19,041
One I'll never forget.
317
00:26:24,136 --> 00:26:26,380
Only one of your presents!
318
00:26:29,297 --> 00:26:33,664
Sure, I told Vince Alexander
you're back. I work for him.
319
00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:39,946
This clipping...
320
00:26:40,955 --> 00:26:45,366
Why couldn't you testify at the trial?
-Oh, no routines, I've heard them all.
321
00:26:48,454 --> 00:26:51,436
Listen to me!
I'm just out of an army hospital
322
00:26:51,496 --> 00:26:54,507
with a piece of steel in my head
and no memory to go with it.
323
00:26:54,567 --> 00:26:57,756
I'm here to find out about myself and
I'm getting answers the hard way!
324
00:26:57,816 --> 00:27:00,677
I don't know you, Vince Alexander...
325
00:27:00,737 --> 00:27:05,055
or anybody called Eddie Riccardi!
All I know is one person, Eddie Rice! Me!
326
00:27:07,178 --> 00:27:09,391
You're the last person I can turn to.
327
00:27:10,472 --> 00:27:12,263
Please believe me.
328
00:27:12,850 --> 00:27:14,115
Help me.
329
00:27:16,584 --> 00:27:19,039
That's a very touching speech.
330
00:27:21,477 --> 00:27:23,901
You lost your memory.
331
00:27:24,564 --> 00:27:28,298
You don't know why I couldn't
testify at the trial.
332
00:27:28,529 --> 00:27:32,067
You've forgotten how you used me to
make sure Vince would go to prison
333
00:27:32,127 --> 00:27:33,829
so you'd be set free.
334
00:27:33,889 --> 00:27:37,966
But, if you're back to your old tricks
again I've got sad news for you,
335
00:27:38,026 --> 00:27:40,752
I tore up your raincheck
three years ago.
336
00:27:43,494 --> 00:27:45,587
I'm not your wife anymore.
337
00:28:05,380 --> 00:28:08,090
Now to the station?
-Back to the hotel.
338
00:28:47,065 --> 00:28:49,579
You act like a cop that just
lost a conviction?
339
00:28:49,639 --> 00:28:52,877
Maybe I have, take a look at these.
Fresh out of the photo lab.
340
00:28:54,339 --> 00:28:56,808
Sharks don't talk, the
fingerprints spell Kelly.
341
00:28:56,868 --> 00:28:59,413
The Coroner said he was dead two
hours before he hit the water.
342
00:28:59,473 --> 00:29:01,807
Too bad. With the information
Kelly had for us
343
00:29:01,867 --> 00:29:04,186
we could have put Vince
away for a long stretch.
344
00:29:05,335 --> 00:29:07,066
What's eating you, Joe?
345
00:29:07,563 --> 00:29:09,295
I was a smart cop.
346
00:29:09,355 --> 00:29:12,712
I put Petey away to get him off of
Kelly's tail, and this is what happens.
347
00:29:12,772 --> 00:29:14,594
I feel like I killed Kelly.
348
00:29:14,654 --> 00:29:16,897
Riccardi...think he's tied up in it?
349
00:29:16,957 --> 00:29:19,909
Walking back into town that day
could tie him up in anything.
350
00:29:20,237 --> 00:29:22,706
Is the case my baby?
-All yours.
351
00:29:24,916 --> 00:29:26,301
Now what?
352
00:29:26,361 --> 00:29:28,936
I figure we shouldn't keep
it a secret from Vince.
353
00:29:40,844 --> 00:29:43,087
Only six days in the week now, huh?
354
00:29:43,455 --> 00:29:46,557
How do you like that, the card
must have fell out.
355
00:29:46,617 --> 00:29:48,604
It was there yesterday. Nick...
356
00:29:48,664 --> 00:29:50,125
Who's Jane Doe?
357
00:29:50,185 --> 00:29:52,817
Please, Lieutenant. I don't look
at their birth certificate.
358
00:29:52,877 --> 00:29:55,075
Lots of people don't use
their right names.
359
00:29:55,135 --> 00:29:59,002
With me, a buck is a buck.
I don't ask questions.
360
00:29:59,318 --> 00:30:02,435
Before I'm through, Nick...
you'll be answering a few.
361
00:30:08,026 --> 00:30:12,377
It's gettin' so you can't tail a guy anymore
without having the cops jump on ya.
362
00:30:12,437 --> 00:30:14,666
This town's goin' to the dogs.
363
00:30:14,981 --> 00:30:18,143
Samson and me...
-Petey! Get that cat off the desk!
364
00:30:18,776 --> 00:30:22,133
I was just saying, Samson and
me could stand a vacation.
365
00:30:22,389 --> 00:30:25,340
You want us to blow town?
-That's just what I don't want.
366
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,047
Coke will set you up, and stay quiet!
367
00:30:28,107 --> 00:30:30,667
Well, sure Vince, sure.
Anything you say.
368
00:31:05,567 --> 00:31:06,922
Hello, Danny.
369
00:31:16,370 --> 00:31:18,327
Come in. Come in, Joe.
370
00:31:18,674 --> 00:31:22,543
Pull up a chair and rest your feet.
I hear you've had a busy day.
371
00:31:26,329 --> 00:31:29,099
I figured you would.
I was saving you for last.
372
00:31:30,183 --> 00:31:31,644
Should I...
373
00:31:31,930 --> 00:31:33,993
relax or call in my lawyer?
374
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:36,698
That depends on how nervous you are.
375
00:31:36,758 --> 00:31:39,529
I was always thought nervous
guys bit their nails?
376
00:31:39,589 --> 00:31:41,095
Now, let me see...
377
00:31:41,317 --> 00:31:44,675
Nick was a little bit hazy about
who Jane Doe was.
378
00:31:44,946 --> 00:31:47,144
I thought you might be able to tell me.
379
00:31:47,336 --> 00:31:49,113
Never heard of the girl.
380
00:31:49,173 --> 00:31:50,634
Then there's Petey.
381
00:31:50,694 --> 00:31:54,654
And how certain people got know where
and just when to bail him out.
382
00:31:54,714 --> 00:31:57,014
Now...nobody knows anything.
383
00:31:57,421 --> 00:31:58,912
But, we'll find him.
384
00:31:59,273 --> 00:32:01,863
We;ve got all exits out of town plugged.
385
00:32:03,697 --> 00:32:06,483
And I got a hunch he'll
be real cooperative.
386
00:32:06,769 --> 00:32:08,063
You see...
387
00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:10,698
I don't think he knows
anything about this.
388
00:32:11,090 --> 00:32:12,249
Kelly.
389
00:32:12,798 --> 00:32:15,162
He's gone and gotten himself killed.
390
00:32:15,915 --> 00:32:17,571
Just like Kelly...
391
00:32:17,842 --> 00:32:19,920
You never know what he'll do next.
392
00:32:20,191 --> 00:32:21,983
That goes for a lot of guys.
393
00:32:22,449 --> 00:32:23,910
Take you and...
394
00:32:24,482 --> 00:32:26,529
Then again, take Eddie Riccardi...
395
00:32:26,589 --> 00:32:29,962
You boys forgive and forget,
and back in business again.
396
00:32:31,037 --> 00:32:34,485
You and Riccardi got a lot in common,
why don't you ask him?
397
00:32:34,545 --> 00:32:36,352
At the moment, you're number one.
398
00:32:36,623 --> 00:32:40,281
And, it won't be any...manslaughter
charge and out in two years.
399
00:32:41,076 --> 00:32:43,048
I put you away this time...
400
00:32:43,334 --> 00:32:44,840
it'll be for keeps.
401
00:32:47,035 --> 00:32:50,031
You got all the answers figured
out, haven't you?
402
00:32:50,091 --> 00:32:52,636
I might have, sooner than you think.
403
00:32:53,959 --> 00:32:55,479
So sorry!
404
00:33:35,693 --> 00:33:39,292
Me, I never had a complaint.
You call my old boss.
405
00:33:39,352 --> 00:33:42,115
He'll tell you my bringing in 500
a night at the gambling tables
406
00:33:42,175 --> 00:33:44,344
was a small bag of tell.
407
00:33:45,169 --> 00:33:48,993
Oh, Mr Alexander! I just came in looking
for a job and I was telling Ms Martin...
408
00:33:49,053 --> 00:33:50,378
Get rid of her.
409
00:33:51,278 --> 00:33:55,238
Vince, we need some new talent...
-Okay! Okay! Come back at eight tonight.
410
00:33:55,298 --> 00:33:58,324
She'll tell you what to do.
-Oh, gee! Thanks!
411
00:34:01,806 --> 00:34:03,899
You know Eddie's still in town?
412
00:34:05,013 --> 00:34:06,172
Yes.
413
00:34:06,353 --> 00:34:08,024
Been around to see you?
414
00:34:09,667 --> 00:34:10,796
When?
415
00:34:11,534 --> 00:34:13,266
Late last night.
416
00:34:14,184 --> 00:34:16,548
Did he tell ya I gave him
24 hours to get out?
417
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,249
No.
418
00:34:19,872 --> 00:34:22,793
Well, I changed my mind.
I want him to stay.
419
00:34:23,049 --> 00:34:25,142
I want you to make sure he does stay.
420
00:34:26,876 --> 00:34:29,827
My job's to work the tables
for you here, Vince, and...
421
00:34:30,324 --> 00:34:34,961
I don't even mind setups like the one with
Petey or...other deals like that, but...
422
00:34:36,439 --> 00:34:37,613
Vince...
423
00:34:38,336 --> 00:34:40,534
Stay out of my personal life!
424
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:42,311
Listen you...
425
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,041
When Eddie dropped you, who picked
you up and gave you your health?
426
00:34:46,101 --> 00:34:49,053
Who gave you your job?
Everything you got?
427
00:34:49,459 --> 00:34:51,206
Vince Alexander!
428
00:34:52,806 --> 00:34:54,538
I won't do it, Vince.
429
00:34:54,598 --> 00:34:55,923
Forget Eddie.
430
00:34:55,983 --> 00:34:57,639
When I get through with him.
431
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,717
But, now you're gonna meet him.
432
00:35:00,715 --> 00:35:03,440
And, I want you to make sure
he does stay in town.
433
00:35:34,220 --> 00:35:35,566
What'll it be?
434
00:35:35,626 --> 00:35:37,854
Did five years make you
forget that easily?
435
00:35:37,914 --> 00:35:41,016
I told you...in five years you
can forget a lot of things.
436
00:35:41,076 --> 00:35:43,064
Something for the lady?
-Rob Roy, please.
437
00:35:43,124 --> 00:35:44,491
The same.
438
00:35:48,131 --> 00:35:50,932
What made you change your mind
about seeing me again?
439
00:35:54,897 --> 00:35:58,210
You know, finding out I was married
to you kind of threw me.
440
00:35:58,992 --> 00:36:02,169
It was even something the boys at
the hospital used to rib me about.
441
00:36:02,564 --> 00:36:05,605
They had me fixed up with a
wife and four or five kids.
442
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:09,881
They didn't know how close the
gag came to being true.
443
00:36:11,474 --> 00:36:13,672
You still don't believe me, do you?
444
00:36:21,056 --> 00:36:25,236
Maybe this'll convince you it was Eddie
Rice that rang your doorbell last night.
445
00:36:26,537 --> 00:36:29,909
Call Dr Kemble at Letterman's
Hospital in San Francisco.
446
00:36:31,007 --> 00:36:33,025
He'll tell you the whole story.
447
00:36:38,141 --> 00:36:39,767
Tha cigarette case...
448
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,323
Doesn't it mean anything to you?
449
00:36:47,468 --> 00:36:48,868
Should it?
450
00:36:54,926 --> 00:36:57,350
Suppose I did believe you, then what?
451
00:36:59,488 --> 00:37:03,569
Then, I'd try and make you forget that
Eddie Riccardi was ever in your life.
452
00:37:04,476 --> 00:37:06,403
You think you can do that?
453
00:37:07,216 --> 00:37:08,737
Eddie Rice can.
454
00:37:20,823 --> 00:37:22,570
Eddie, leave town.
455
00:37:24,533 --> 00:37:27,228
Now you're talking like Vince.
-Maybe I was yesterday.
456
00:37:27,288 --> 00:37:30,492
Don't ask me why, but go.
-Nina, I don't frighten easily.
457
00:37:30,552 --> 00:37:33,353
You can take that message back to Vince.
Tell him I'm staying!
458
00:37:33,413 --> 00:37:36,816
That's what he wants you to do. That's
why I'm here, to keep you from leaving.
459
00:37:36,876 --> 00:37:38,740
I'd hate to disappoint him then.
460
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,895
Eddie, don't be stubborn, I know Vince.
He doesn't do anything without a reason.
461
00:37:43,964 --> 00:37:45,530
Neither do I.
462
00:37:47,802 --> 00:37:52,590
Stay then! Get yourself beaten up again,
or killed. Do anything you want.
463
00:38:35,782 --> 00:38:38,267
Riccardi.
-Very interesting.
464
00:38:47,205 --> 00:38:48,936
Scotch over water.
465
00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:53,136
Lose something, Charlie?
466
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,406
Tell Nina Martin, Eddie wants to see her.
-Eddie who?
467
00:38:59,658 --> 00:39:01,103
Just Eddie.
468
00:39:01,630 --> 00:39:03,060
Wait here.
469
00:39:11,467 --> 00:39:12,943
What'll I need?
470
00:39:13,003 --> 00:39:15,653
A thousand might bring you luck.
-A thousand?
471
00:39:15,894 --> 00:39:17,475
Give me a thousand.
472
00:39:24,925 --> 00:39:27,891
A character called Eddie's outside,
wants to see you.
473
00:39:27,951 --> 00:39:29,412
Eddie here?
474
00:39:29,788 --> 00:39:31,204
Get rid of him!
475
00:39:31,425 --> 00:39:33,668
That's not what Vince had in mind.
476
00:39:43,422 --> 00:39:44,972
All right, come on.
477
00:39:53,097 --> 00:39:54,663
6...9...12!
478
00:39:54,919 --> 00:39:56,636
All bets down.
479
00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:04,549
It's a nice layout. Vince ought to be
able to pick up some fast money.
480
00:40:04,609 --> 00:40:07,063
You're crazy to come walking in here.
481
00:40:07,123 --> 00:40:09,273
Maybe I'm just hard to convince.
482
00:40:10,477 --> 00:40:12,374
My dressing room is back there.
483
00:40:13,925 --> 00:40:16,590
I'll be back before the
wheel stops turning.
484
00:40:34,853 --> 00:40:35,973
Yeah?
485
00:40:37,478 --> 00:40:38,939
Okay, thanks.
486
00:40:43,645 --> 00:40:45,813
So, she wanted to get rid of him.
487
00:40:47,179 --> 00:40:50,040
I wonder if that dame is trying
to pull a double cross.
488
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,129
Get down to the Golden Horn and pick up
Eddie Riccardi, you'll find him with Nina.
489
00:40:55,189 --> 00:40:56,270
Just him?
490
00:40:56,571 --> 00:40:57,746
Just him.
491
00:40:58,197 --> 00:41:00,110
I'll get around to her later.
492
00:41:03,747 --> 00:41:05,569
I started to leave...
493
00:41:05,794 --> 00:41:08,309
but I kept thinking about
everything you told me.
494
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,230
If I'd of left I'd been all the
things you said I was.
495
00:41:11,727 --> 00:41:13,232
So, I'm staying.
496
00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:17,505
And, I'm taking you out of here.
497
00:41:18,498 --> 00:41:19,673
Nina.
498
00:41:21,043 --> 00:41:23,436
We could have a decent life together.
499
00:41:26,553 --> 00:41:28,465
You got it all figured out.
500
00:41:31,452 --> 00:41:36,089
Well, you're not taking me anywhere.
You pushed me into this life and I like it.
501
00:41:36,481 --> 00:41:41,374
I'm top bait around here steering nice,
fat, pigeons to the gambling table.
502
00:41:41,434 --> 00:41:46,174
I'm one of Vince's kind now and I'm keeping
my life and my job just the way they are.
503
00:41:46,234 --> 00:41:48,026
No matter what I have to do!
504
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:49,934
Come on.
505
00:41:59,090 --> 00:42:00,144
Thanks.
506
00:42:10,804 --> 00:42:13,469
Now, how about some champagne?
507
00:42:14,389 --> 00:42:17,581
Excuse me for a minute, honey.
I forgot I got to call my wife.
508
00:42:32,729 --> 00:42:35,048
Williams, Homicide.
Yeah, Barnes.
509
00:42:36,509 --> 00:42:37,653
Yeah!
510
00:42:38,586 --> 00:42:39,881
Thanks a lot!
511
00:42:40,377 --> 00:42:41,898
What's exciting?
512
00:42:50,385 --> 00:42:54,646
I said, what's exciting? Or, don't
you want to wake me up?
513
00:42:55,138 --> 00:42:59,113
Barnes casing the Golden Horn for vice
intel, tells me Riccardi just walked in.
514
00:42:59,805 --> 00:43:01,266
Trouble maybe?
515
00:43:01,717 --> 00:43:04,924
I could think of plenty of reasons why
there might be for Eddie Rice.
516
00:43:05,478 --> 00:43:07,300
You'll hear from me later.
517
00:43:25,961 --> 00:43:28,189
How you coming with that
Kelly report, Ben?
518
00:43:28,249 --> 00:43:30,945
Just finishing up for you.
-Okay, I'll wait.
519
00:43:33,515 --> 00:43:36,586
Somebody must've believed in that
old gag about an apple a day.
520
00:43:36,646 --> 00:43:40,513
Yeah, but they didn't know it would pin
a murder on them. -Quite an appetite.
521
00:43:40,573 --> 00:43:43,253
Psychological, it creates
a false hunger.
522
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:50,156
Well, here you are, Joe.
I can go home now.
523
00:43:50,216 --> 00:43:53,454
Thanks a lot, Ben. See you tomorrow.
-Okay, see ya tomorrow.
524
00:44:06,875 --> 00:44:07,778
Yeah?
525
00:44:07,838 --> 00:44:10,970
I'm interested in Eddie Riccardi,
not in what's going on in there.
526
00:44:11,030 --> 00:44:13,680
We don't know from Riccardi.
-I do, open up.
527
00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:18,240
Place your bets, folks. Place your
bets. Bet high/low...odd or even.
528
00:44:38,711 --> 00:44:39,795
Yes?
529
00:44:39,990 --> 00:44:43,438
Miss Martin? Williams, Homicide.
May I come in please?
530
00:44:43,732 --> 00:44:44,982
Come in.
531
00:44:47,432 --> 00:44:50,820
Eddie was just picked up by Danny.
-Where'd he take him?
532
00:44:52,557 --> 00:44:54,424
You'll hear from me later.
533
00:45:14,826 --> 00:45:16,377
You know, Williams?
534
00:45:17,054 --> 00:45:19,524
I'm not used to cops with insomnia.
535
00:45:20,201 --> 00:45:22,791
What's on your mind?
-It won't take long.
536
00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:25,960
Danny picked up Eddie Riccardi.
Where are they?
537
00:45:27,537 --> 00:45:29,329
You're in an awful rut.
538
00:45:29,540 --> 00:45:31,497
Always asking questions.
539
00:45:31,557 --> 00:45:33,846
All right...let's start over.
540
00:45:34,581 --> 00:45:37,306
Eddie was at the Golden Horn
with Nina Martin.
541
00:45:37,366 --> 00:45:39,685
Suddenly, he wasn't there anymore.
542
00:45:40,208 --> 00:45:41,368
So...
543
00:45:41,578 --> 00:45:44,018
So...I don't mind waiting.
544
00:45:45,900 --> 00:45:48,053
While we kill a little time...
545
00:45:49,429 --> 00:45:51,176
This might interest you.
546
00:46:01,803 --> 00:46:05,733
And, after we pick up Riccardi...
we're going down to police headquarters.
547
00:46:06,034 --> 00:46:08,579
You're gonna have a manicure...on me.
548
00:46:10,294 --> 00:46:13,380
You know, you're gonna look awful
silly when I get through with you.
549
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,819
If I'm wrong...I'll apologize.
550
00:46:21,050 --> 00:46:23,264
Say hello, nothing more.
551
00:46:25,733 --> 00:46:26,862
Hello.
552
00:46:27,674 --> 00:46:31,408
Vince, we're at the shop. Do we
stay or bring Riccardi up there?
553
00:46:32,507 --> 00:46:34,238
Tell him you'll be down.
554
00:46:52,464 --> 00:46:53,699
Okay, Coke...
555
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,385
<i>Bring him up here.</i>
556
00:47:28,724 --> 00:47:30,530
What do you want now?
557
00:47:41,819 --> 00:47:44,605
Just when he was coming up
in the department.
558
00:49:14,591 --> 00:49:15,886
Car 9-4
559
00:49:15,946 --> 00:49:17,813
9-4 to Control-4.
560
00:49:17,873 --> 00:49:20,252
<i>Clear Frequency-4, this is an emergency.</i>
561
00:49:20,312 --> 00:49:23,126
Control-4 to 94, go ahead.
562
00:49:23,186 --> 00:49:25,099
<i>Car 94 to Control-4</i>
563
00:49:25,159 --> 00:49:29,209
<i>Notify the Homicide Bureau, we have found
the body of Lt Williams in his car.</i>
564
00:49:29,269 --> 00:49:31,133
At Sepulveda and Sunset.
565
00:50:17,423 --> 00:50:18,763
Give you a lift, son?
566
00:50:18,823 --> 00:50:21,485
Thanks, I had a little accident
back up a side road.
567
00:50:21,545 --> 00:50:24,556
I have to go to town, get a tow car.
-Anybody killed?
568
00:50:27,016 --> 00:50:29,561
No luck at all tonight.
Hop in.
569
00:50:39,349 --> 00:50:42,090
Bet you thought I wouldn't stop
to pick you up, didn't you?
570
00:50:42,150 --> 00:50:43,638
I didn't know.
571
00:50:43,698 --> 00:50:45,113
It's late.
-See...
572
00:50:45,173 --> 00:50:49,130
That's why I fooled you. Have me orders.
Pick up anybody, anytime.
573
00:50:49,747 --> 00:50:51,870
Green Acres Morticians policy.
574
00:50:52,094 --> 00:50:54,698
Live today...maybe a customer tomorrow.
575
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,400
Pays off too.
576
00:50:56,460 --> 00:50:59,848
Most people remember the nice things
you do for them while they're living.
577
00:50:59,908 --> 00:51:03,864
We sure don't get any complaints about our
service from them after they're dead.
578
00:51:03,924 --> 00:51:05,927
Their family, that is.
579
00:51:07,423 --> 00:51:09,441
That accident hurt you any?
580
00:51:10,992 --> 00:51:13,069
Got a match?
-Sure do.
581
00:51:19,645 --> 00:51:21,813
Police, ambulance and everything.
582
00:51:22,114 --> 00:51:24,312
I wonder if I'm losing any customers?
583
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:40,902
Finished with Joe's stuff yet?
-Still working on it.
584
00:51:43,326 --> 00:51:44,816
It's too bad...
585
00:51:45,434 --> 00:51:48,460
Joe's wife sure liked him
in that suit too.
586
00:52:13,311 --> 00:52:16,021
Any line on Riccardi yet?
-Nothing, Captain.
587
00:52:16,081 --> 00:52:19,710
Keep trying, he's the last one who
might of seen Joe. -Okay.
588
00:52:20,197 --> 00:52:21,718
Eddie Riccardi.
589
00:52:24,187 --> 00:52:26,445
Guess Williams was right after all.
590
00:52:26,701 --> 00:52:28,538
Riccardi or Rice.
591
00:52:28,826 --> 00:52:32,530
A Silver Star and a dumb look doesn't
change a no good heel.
592
00:52:33,147 --> 00:52:36,173
Attention all units!
Attention all units!
593
00:52:36,233 --> 00:52:40,175
Be on the lookout for the following
<i>described suspect, wanted for murder:</i>
594
00:52:40,551 --> 00:52:43,322
<i>Eddie Riccardi, alias Eddie Rice,</i>
595
00:52:43,589 --> 00:52:46,164
<i>White male, American,</i>
596
00:52:46,224 --> 00:52:49,341
<i>Age 33, 6 foot 2.</i>
597
00:52:49,729 --> 00:52:51,506
<i>190 lbs...</i>
598
00:52:51,957 --> 00:52:53,312
<i>Dark brown...</i>
599
00:52:53,659 --> 00:52:55,944
You phone the cops and do 'em a favor,
600
00:52:56,004 --> 00:53:00,024
where to find a dead cop and the guy
that did it, and what happens...
601
00:53:05,972 --> 00:53:08,035
The first stop is Nina Martin's.
602
00:53:08,276 --> 00:53:10,474
I want Eddie before the cops get him.
603
00:53:10,730 --> 00:53:12,913
Then they can have him for a present.
604
00:53:14,334 --> 00:53:15,915
And alive!
605
00:53:32,066 --> 00:53:33,843
Eddie!
-Shut up!
606
00:53:34,168 --> 00:53:36,065
Get those lights out!
607
00:53:37,285 --> 00:53:39,152
Eddie, what happened?
608
00:53:40,533 --> 00:53:43,951
You certainly did a neat job
of tying me into a murder.
609
00:53:44,011 --> 00:53:46,089
Joe Williams was killed tonight.
610
00:53:46,149 --> 00:53:47,901
You?
-I don't know.
611
00:53:47,961 --> 00:53:51,138
The last thing I remember was being slugged
over the head at Vince Alexander's.
612
00:53:51,198 --> 00:53:53,713
I know you think that...
-I haven't got time to think!
613
00:53:53,773 --> 00:53:57,811
All I want is a few bucks, your car and
you in my sight till I get out of here!
614
00:53:57,871 --> 00:53:59,874
Eddie, you've got to believe me!
615
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:01,335
Believe?
616
00:54:01,656 --> 00:54:03,508
Like you believed me?
617
00:54:03,885 --> 00:54:05,661
Give me the keys!
618
00:54:10,271 --> 00:54:14,017
Eddie! This is why I turned on you
tonight, to get you away from Vince.
619
00:54:14,077 --> 00:54:16,992
The keys are in the car, you go,
I'll try to stall them off.
620
00:54:17,224 --> 00:54:19,468
And get a bullet in the back of my head?
621
00:54:19,528 --> 00:54:22,404
Oh, Eddie! You've got to trust me,
it's your only chance.
622
00:54:24,815 --> 00:54:26,091
Quick!
623
00:54:26,444 --> 00:54:28,043
The garage.
624
00:55:25,770 --> 00:55:29,188
This is where you get out. -Go to the
police, Eddie. Before it's too late.
625
00:55:29,248 --> 00:55:32,400
With my fingerprints all over the
gun and all over Williams car?
626
00:55:32,460 --> 00:55:35,257
I wouldn't last long enough to walk
to the nearest police station.
627
00:55:35,317 --> 00:55:38,133
If I did what could I tell them?
Now out!
628
00:55:38,788 --> 00:55:41,737
You want me to go home and wait
for Vince to come back again?
629
00:55:41,797 --> 00:55:45,800
That's something Eddie Riccardo would
tell me to do, not Eddie Rice.
630
00:55:49,139 --> 00:55:50,606
All right.
631
00:56:06,538 --> 00:56:07,668
Stop.
632
00:56:11,312 --> 00:56:13,997
Keep your lights off and
the motor running.
633
00:56:57,233 --> 00:56:59,889
Well, now you've got a gun! What next?
634
00:57:01,213 --> 00:57:04,044
I didn't ask for any killings,
so I'm in the middle.
635
00:57:04,528 --> 00:57:07,711
But, I'm not going to be a clay
pigeon for Vince Alexander.
636
00:57:08,308 --> 00:57:10,513
You can't prove anything dead.
637
00:57:10,573 --> 00:57:14,597
That would make Vince very happy,
something I wouldn't want to let happen.
638
00:57:15,047 --> 00:57:18,758
Is there any place we could go, someone
you can trust to put us up for the night?
639
00:57:18,818 --> 00:57:20,299
I need time.
640
00:57:21,747 --> 00:57:23,404
Maybe there is.
641
00:57:23,464 --> 00:57:25,443
It's a long chance, but...
642
00:57:28,917 --> 00:57:31,763
You don't think you're going to
get away with this, do you?
643
00:57:32,276 --> 00:57:34,477
We're staying here till tomorrow.
644
00:57:42,766 --> 00:57:46,004
Stay away from that phone!
If it rings, let it keep ringing!
645
00:57:46,064 --> 00:57:48,953
Get rid of anybody who comes to
the door, I'll be right behind you
646
00:57:49,013 --> 00:57:50,845
in case you give the wrong answers.
647
00:57:55,517 --> 00:57:58,539
What about the girl's place?
-There and gone.
648
00:57:58,599 --> 00:58:02,705
Get a teletype out on her car immediately,
have it re-broadcast every half hour.
649
00:58:08,211 --> 00:58:10,661
I want roadblocks at all these points.
650
00:58:10,721 --> 00:58:12,705
I want the airport, the railroad station,
651
00:58:12,765 --> 00:58:15,536
all the bus terminals put
under a 24 surveillance.
652
00:58:15,596 --> 00:58:18,001
I want every hotel and
flophouse notified.
653
00:58:18,061 --> 00:58:20,818
They're in this town somewhere
and they're not getting out.
654
00:58:21,019 --> 00:58:22,354
One other thing...
655
00:58:22,414 --> 00:58:26,887
We picked up Riccardi's fingerprints on
that gun shop. He's got a gun now.
656
00:58:27,294 --> 00:58:29,421
Don't give him a chance to use it!
657
00:58:29,481 --> 00:58:31,284
All right, start moving.
658
00:58:31,344 --> 00:58:33,908
<i>The police tightened its dragnet
about the city today.</i>
659
00:58:33,968 --> 00:58:36,988
<i>Riccardi escaped just as the police
were ready to close in on him</i>
660
00:58:37,048 --> 00:58:39,197
<i>after they received an
anonymous phone call</i>
661
00:58:39,257 --> 00:58:42,292
<i>which led them to discover the murdered
body of one of their men today.</i>
662
00:58:42,352 --> 00:58:44,067
<i>Every available man...</i>
663
00:58:47,714 --> 00:58:49,958
We'll wait till it's dark
and get out of here.
664
00:58:50,018 --> 00:58:52,423
You couldn't arrange to
drop dead before then?
665
00:58:52,483 --> 00:58:55,606
Hazel, you've got to believe us.
Eddie didn't do it!
666
00:58:55,897 --> 00:58:57,936
He should still drop dead.
667
00:58:58,269 --> 00:58:59,604
Twice.
668
01:00:12,318 --> 01:00:13,477
Coke!
669
01:00:36,274 --> 01:00:38,401
Get me a couple of clean towels.
670
01:00:42,231 --> 01:00:43,771
It's pretty bad.
671
01:00:44,739 --> 01:00:49,052
I'll have you out of here in a minute,
we'll find a doctor. -Go to the police.
672
01:00:49,497 --> 01:00:51,448
Eddie, go to the police.
673
01:00:53,848 --> 01:00:55,961
Your car in the garage?
-Yes.
674
01:00:56,021 --> 01:00:58,704
Where are your keys?
-In my purse.
675
01:00:58,764 --> 01:01:00,288
Take care of her.
676
01:01:22,875 --> 01:01:23,843
Thanks.
677
01:01:23,903 --> 01:01:26,748
I'll have the doctor come right
in the moment he returns.
678
01:01:38,651 --> 01:01:40,602
Light me a cigarette.
679
01:02:02,498 --> 01:02:04,288
You're far away.
680
01:02:06,205 --> 01:02:07,614
How far?
681
01:02:09,418 --> 01:02:10,885
Five years.
682
01:02:11,545 --> 01:02:13,041
A lifetime.
683
01:02:14,259 --> 01:02:15,961
Beyond that, a blank.
684
01:02:17,162 --> 01:02:18,879
Me too, Eddie.
685
01:02:18,939 --> 01:02:21,270
Only, it's been a different
kind of a blank.
686
01:02:21,798 --> 01:02:24,453
It's being pushed back
to Eddie Riccardi.
687
01:02:24,937 --> 01:02:26,184
This.
688
01:02:26,811 --> 01:02:30,215
The whole past that keeps me
from being like other people.
689
01:02:30,992 --> 01:02:32,763
Now all that's left is
690
01:02:32,823 --> 01:02:36,460
wondering what it would be like if there
had only been an Eddie Rice.
691
01:02:38,540 --> 01:02:41,287
If I'd of just met you
for the first time.
692
01:02:43,087 --> 01:02:45,508
Eddie Rice can have that.
693
01:02:48,248 --> 01:02:50,610
Oh, you're...good, Eddie.
694
01:02:51,681 --> 01:02:53,368
You're good.
695
01:02:54,934 --> 01:02:57,622
You've taken away the hate in me.
696
01:02:58,176 --> 01:02:59,995
Destroyed it.
697
01:03:01,946 --> 01:03:03,912
You're...good, Eddie.
698
01:03:07,874 --> 01:03:10,573
When a baby wants to be born,
hours don't matter!
699
01:03:10,633 --> 01:03:12,554
7 poundsd 7ounces...a boy.
700
01:03:12,614 --> 01:03:14,549
Doctor, her shoulder...
701
01:03:29,779 --> 01:03:31,760
I can't treat gun wounds.
702
01:03:31,820 --> 01:03:34,679
She'll have to go to the police
emergency hospital.
703
01:03:34,739 --> 01:03:36,179
I don't think so.
704
01:03:36,239 --> 01:03:39,260
I'm sorry, but I've got to report
this to the police.
705
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:40,624
Doctor.
706
01:03:41,138 --> 01:03:43,191
That report to the police...
707
01:03:43,539 --> 01:03:44,918
It'll wait.
708
01:03:45,123 --> 01:03:47,368
If you want to pull that
trigger, go ahead.
709
01:03:49,535 --> 01:03:51,603
Police headquarters, please.
710
01:03:53,055 --> 01:03:56,092
Put that gun away! I said I was
going to call the police.
711
01:03:56,293 --> 01:03:57,775
Police headquarters?
712
01:03:57,980 --> 01:04:00,914
This is Dr Stacey, 93 Chestnut Street.
713
01:04:01,174 --> 01:04:03,492
Send an ambulance and a squad car.
714
01:04:09,003 --> 01:04:10,602
How bad is it?
715
01:04:14,534 --> 01:04:16,118
She'll be all right.
716
01:04:18,447 --> 01:04:20,262
You'd better leave.
717
01:04:27,035 --> 01:04:30,805
Eddie, I'm scared...I'm scared...
-Take it easy, you'll be all right.
718
01:04:30,865 --> 01:04:33,341
Not for me, for you.
-Listen...
719
01:04:33,531 --> 01:04:37,507
I'm leaving you for a little while.
I've got an idea, it might work.
720
01:04:37,567 --> 01:04:39,672
Something very important.
721
01:04:40,214 --> 01:04:44,395
You knew all about me. The people
I used to know, the places I went.
722
01:04:44,699 --> 01:04:46,855
Think for me, go back five years.
723
01:04:46,915 --> 01:04:51,110
Who was there? Just one person.
Give me the answers, quick!
724
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,289
What you say is my only chance,
the only chance I've got.
725
01:04:54,349 --> 01:04:58,231
The only one left is...Petey.
He can't be trusted with Vince.
726
01:04:58,291 --> 01:05:01,337
Where will I find him?
-Not him, he's... -Tell me!
727
01:05:01,759 --> 01:05:04,457
Two, three places on Main Street.
728
01:05:05,198 --> 01:05:07,034
Fourth and Main...
729
01:05:07,094 --> 01:05:10,091
And after Nina ran in front of him,
Coke never had a chance.
730
01:05:10,151 --> 01:05:11,748
That Eddie sure didn't miss.
731
01:05:11,808 --> 01:05:14,345
Coke took three, went right through
his breakfast, lunch and supper.
732
01:05:14,405 --> 01:05:16,575
Anybody come around, ask any questions?
733
01:05:16,635 --> 01:05:19,900
None I couldn't answer, Vince.
-Get back down and keep him company.
734
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,570
But...but, the police?
-That's exactly what I want!
735
01:05:22,630 --> 01:05:25,559
Tell him how Riccardi broke into your
apartment, found Coke there
736
01:05:25,619 --> 01:05:28,727
pulled his gun and fired. Now do
what I told you, just that!
737
01:05:29,035 --> 01:05:31,250
All right, Vince.
-Take her back!
738
01:05:35,048 --> 01:05:37,293
Eddie's got to find a doctor somewhere.
739
01:05:37,484 --> 01:05:39,581
And, if he does what I think, he'll...
740
01:05:39,772 --> 01:05:42,295
dump the girl...and start looking
for a hidewaway.
741
01:05:43,785 --> 01:05:44,973
Get going!
742
01:05:45,033 --> 01:05:48,039
Spread the news I got a personal
interest in Eddie Riccardi.
743
01:05:48,099 --> 01:05:50,870
I don't want anything to happen
to him...until I get there.
744
01:05:51,389 --> 01:05:53,443
Unless the cops get him first.
745
01:05:54,467 --> 01:05:57,841
You through with him, Doc?
-Yup. He was a fine specimen.
746
01:05:57,901 --> 01:06:00,041
Would have had a long life
if this hadn't happened.
747
01:06:00,101 --> 01:06:02,051
I'll send you my report in the morning.
748
01:06:05,694 --> 01:06:08,335
I'm sure you don't mind coming
downtown, Miss Downs?
749
01:06:08,395 --> 01:06:10,477
Well, I...
-I thought not.
750
01:06:12,659 --> 01:06:14,859
What'd you find?
-It was them all right.
751
01:06:14,919 --> 01:06:17,471
Riccardi left the doctor's office
about 30 minutes ago
752
01:06:17,531 --> 01:06:20,830
Notify Communications? -They're blanketing
the whole area. -The girl?
753
01:06:20,890 --> 01:06:25,608
County Jail Hospital. Still out, whether
she's playing it safe or just not talking.
754
01:06:25,668 --> 01:06:29,085
Keep Melon there, the minute she comes
out, I want to know. -Any ideas?
755
01:06:29,145 --> 01:06:31,970
Lots! We need Riccardi to
explain some of them.
756
01:06:32,157 --> 01:06:34,196
If he lives that long.
757
01:06:38,347 --> 01:06:41,120
Hello. I'm looking for Petey,
have you seen him?
758
01:06:42,691 --> 01:06:44,671
Do you know where to find him?
759
01:06:57,552 --> 01:07:00,780
<i>Nina said three or four places,
I must have hit twenty.</i>
760
01:07:01,245 --> 01:07:03,196
<i>And every answer the same.</i>
761
01:07:03,710 --> 01:07:04,810
<i>No.</i>
762
01:07:05,803 --> 01:07:08,605
<i>The shake of their head,
a frightened face.</i>
763
01:07:10,111 --> 01:07:14,043
<i>They knew where I could find what I was
looking for, but they wouldn't talk.</i>
764
01:07:14,483 --> 01:07:16,141
<i>They were scared.</i>
765
01:08:08,257 --> 01:08:11,660
But, Vince! Appreciate the fact
that at least I called you.
766
01:08:11,961 --> 01:08:14,015
I let him stay, it's another rap.
767
01:08:14,075 --> 01:08:17,623
Another rap, I get life! You've
got to appreciate that!
768
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,296
And I'd appreciate it if you'd
tell me where to find Petey.
769
01:08:24,044 --> 01:08:25,306
Right now!
770
01:08:25,366 --> 01:08:26,758
Sure, Eddie.
771
01:08:27,096 --> 01:08:28,152
Sure.
772
01:08:34,841 --> 01:08:36,822
Ocean Boulevard and 25th.
773
01:09:43,996 --> 01:09:46,490
Who's there? Who is it?
-Eddie.
774
01:09:47,355 --> 01:09:48,910
Eddie Riccardi.
775
01:09:49,277 --> 01:09:52,886
Oh, Eddie boy. Every cop in the
city is out gunning for you!
776
01:09:53,350 --> 01:09:55,403
Maybe you don't care if you live...
777
01:09:55,711 --> 01:09:57,604
I got a few more years left!
778
01:09:57,839 --> 01:09:59,526
Open the door, Petey.
779
01:10:00,083 --> 01:10:01,799
You're dead if you don't.
780
01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:04,769
All right, Eddie.
781
01:10:12,804 --> 01:10:15,914
You didn't think I'd leave you out
there in the cold, did you Eddie?
782
01:10:16,545 --> 01:10:20,550
Five years, no see! But, you sure got
a hot fire burning under you, huh?
783
01:10:21,019 --> 01:10:22,105
Yeah.
784
01:10:24,891 --> 01:10:26,900
You need a pal, a friend.
785
01:10:30,025 --> 01:10:32,240
Sure, I need a friend, Petey.
786
01:10:32,483 --> 01:10:36,263
Look, old friend... Will you...will
you put that mouthpiece away?
787
01:10:36,323 --> 01:10:39,153
Somehow I...I still believe they go off!
788
01:10:39,926 --> 01:10:42,669
And, Samson my cat, you remember my cat?
789
01:10:44,180 --> 01:10:46,439
He's not feeling too good again.
790
01:10:46,949 --> 01:10:49,545
You stay careful and
nothing will happen.
791
01:10:49,605 --> 01:10:53,110
Oh sure. Sure, Eddie. You're
talking to Petey, remember?
792
01:10:53,340 --> 01:10:55,746
Any objections to my moving in with you?
793
01:10:56,025 --> 01:10:58,416
I'll be gone, tomorrow or the next day.
794
01:10:58,476 --> 01:11:01,771
Oh, me? Turn away practically,
my own flesh and blood?
795
01:11:03,341 --> 01:11:04,822
Relax, Eddie.
796
01:11:08,491 --> 01:11:11,308
There you are, Eddie. Nothing's
too good for you.
797
01:11:12,355 --> 01:11:16,154
How about some food, Petey?
I haven't eaten all night.
798
01:11:16,536 --> 01:11:18,370
You haven't changed a bit.
799
01:11:18,590 --> 01:11:20,086
Always hungry!
800
01:11:20,146 --> 01:11:22,022
Still tied up with Vince?
801
01:11:24,002 --> 01:11:27,670
I do a little private eyeing on the side.
A job here, a job there.
802
01:11:28,007 --> 01:11:29,284
Nothing big.
803
01:11:31,150 --> 01:11:32,705
I'll telephone.
804
01:11:43,749 --> 01:11:47,358
Hello, friend? Petey! I got
a special customer.
805
01:11:47,828 --> 01:11:49,852
Yeah. Yeah, an old one.
806
01:11:50,881 --> 01:11:54,094
How about sending something over?
He's tired and hungry.
807
01:11:54,813 --> 01:11:56,778
A pot of coffee and a sandwich.
808
01:11:56,969 --> 01:11:58,011
Turkey.
809
01:11:58,266 --> 01:11:59,352
Tongue
810
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:01,684
Egg salad combination.
811
01:12:02,638 --> 01:12:04,442
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
812
01:12:05,543 --> 01:12:06,863
You got it.
813
01:12:12,752 --> 01:12:16,068
You see, Eddie? Everything's
just like old times.
814
01:12:16,655 --> 01:12:18,474
If you say so, Petey.
815
01:12:20,114 --> 01:12:21,948
I'm gettin' kinda sleepy.
816
01:12:22,271 --> 01:12:25,308
You just make yourself at home,
food will be along pretty soon.
817
01:12:25,368 --> 01:12:28,183
Vince has gotten to be a big
man the last five years.
818
01:12:28,675 --> 01:12:31,168
I'm really gettin' pretty tired, friend.
819
01:12:31,228 --> 01:12:33,457
Why don't you bring me
up to date, Petey?
820
01:12:33,517 --> 01:12:35,247
I'm really awful tired, friend!
821
01:12:35,307 --> 01:12:37,501
How long will it take Vince to get here?
822
01:12:37,971 --> 01:12:40,861
Eddie...Eddie, you...you embarrass me.
823
01:12:41,135 --> 01:12:43,834
I'll kill you if you don't give
it to me straight, Petey!
824
01:12:43,894 --> 01:12:47,047
Eddie...Eddie, don't talk like that.
Samson's sick!
825
01:12:47,543 --> 01:12:50,403
I'm telling you, Eddie!
-What are you telling me? How long?
826
01:12:50,463 --> 01:12:53,557
Five minutes? Ten? Fifteen minutes?
Twenty minutes?
827
01:12:54,096 --> 01:12:57,015
About...about fifteen minutes, Eddie.
828
01:12:57,323 --> 01:13:00,902
Vince puts you on the spot!
He's that way with all the boys!
829
01:13:01,162 --> 01:13:04,781
Blow Eddie! Take me with you.
You and me was always friends!
830
01:13:04,841 --> 01:13:08,273
You just stay in front of me and keep your
mouth shut and you won't get into trouble.
831
01:13:08,333 --> 01:13:11,265
Sure, Eddie! You got nothing
to worry about from me.
832
01:13:11,325 --> 01:13:14,361
Just stay my friend, Petey.
-Yeah, Eddie.
833
01:13:27,837 --> 01:13:29,935
You're retired, you can go home now.
834
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:32,601
Your friend want a ride?
-Not tonight.
835
01:13:34,995 --> 01:13:36,151
$2.80
836
01:13:36,711 --> 01:13:39,616
This will get you a thousand.
Come on, Petey.
837
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,005
Take care of Petey.
838
01:15:45,187 --> 01:15:46,434
Eddie!
839
01:15:46,625 --> 01:15:48,165
Let's get out of here!
840
01:15:49,661 --> 01:15:51,158
Go ahead, Petey.
841
01:15:51,610 --> 01:15:52,974
Thanks, Eddie.
842
01:15:54,148 --> 01:15:55,615
They're coming!
843
01:18:02,988 --> 01:18:04,191
Eddie.
844
01:18:04,792 --> 01:18:06,274
Can you hear me?
845
01:18:09,079 --> 01:18:10,898
We can make a break.
846
01:18:11,558 --> 01:18:13,319
Cover for each other.
847
01:18:14,096 --> 01:18:15,739
I got a place.
848
01:18:17,148 --> 01:18:18,820
You and me, Eddie.
849
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,342
We'll start up again.
850
01:18:22,914 --> 01:18:25,056
Just like old times.
851
01:18:30,072 --> 01:18:31,671
I got money, Eddie.
852
01:18:32,992 --> 01:18:34,327
Big money!
853
01:18:37,521 --> 01:18:39,355
Samson! Samson!
854
01:18:39,986 --> 01:18:41,159
Samson!
855
01:18:43,096 --> 01:18:44,841
Petey! Come back!
856
01:18:46,807 --> 01:18:47,908
Samson.
857
01:18:48,318 --> 01:18:50,446
Samson, baby. Samson.
858
01:19:47,773 --> 01:19:50,091
Riccardi! Alexander!
859
01:19:50,292 --> 01:19:53,813
We'll give you three minutes to come out.
We're gonna start counting.
860
01:19:54,135 --> 01:19:57,920
At the end of three minutes if you're
not out, we're coming to get you!
861
01:19:58,429 --> 01:20:00,600
This is your last chance, Eddie.
862
01:20:01,862 --> 01:20:04,121
There's just you and me left now.
863
01:20:04,181 --> 01:20:05,676
No deal, Vince.
864
01:20:06,455 --> 01:20:08,538
I know you killed Joe Williams.
865
01:20:08,978 --> 01:20:10,357
Okay...
866
01:20:11,516 --> 01:20:13,071
No deals.
867
01:21:51,795 --> 01:21:54,993
We want you, Riccardi..
Alive, Alexander!
868
01:21:55,595 --> 01:21:58,646
If you're in there and not wounded,
bring Riccardi out.
869
01:21:59,653 --> 01:22:03,761
You, Riccardi! If you're alone, come
out with your hands in the air!
870
01:22:06,712 --> 01:22:09,176
Here's when you and I part company.
871
01:22:09,396 --> 01:22:12,081
You're gonna get paid off in full.
872
01:22:41,345 --> 01:22:43,574
Thanks for bringing him out, Vince.
873
01:22:43,853 --> 01:22:47,169
Now, drop your gun.
I said drop your gun, Vince!
874
01:22:49,233 --> 01:22:51,932
Eddie will take what I
got first, Anderson!
875
01:22:54,015 --> 01:22:56,568
All police officers hold your fire!
876
01:22:57,552 --> 01:22:59,532
Don't be crazy, Alexander.
877
01:22:59,899 --> 01:23:02,774
There have been enough people killed.
Give yourself up.
878
01:23:02,834 --> 01:23:04,491
No bargains, Anderson!
879
01:23:04,551 --> 01:23:06,487
You want Riccardi alive...
880
01:23:06,547 --> 01:23:07,866
I want out!
881
01:23:07,926 --> 01:23:10,682
What guarantee have I got that
you won't kill Riccardi?
882
01:23:10,742 --> 01:23:13,250
You don't!
-Be sensible, Alexander.
883
01:23:13,979 --> 01:23:16,854
If we let you out now,
we'll get you later.
884
01:23:17,089 --> 01:23:19,040
You'll be dead before morning.
885
01:23:19,245 --> 01:23:21,930
You got 30 seconds to make
up your mind, Anderson!
886
01:23:22,688 --> 01:23:24,053
I go...
887
01:23:24,361 --> 01:23:26,415
or Riccardi gets it in the back!
888
01:23:29,595 --> 01:23:31,388
Sat down, Eddie! Don't move!
889
01:24:05,464 --> 01:24:06,711
Is he dead?
890
01:24:06,771 --> 01:24:09,234
He will be if we don't get
him to a hospital.
891
01:24:15,716 --> 01:24:19,090
That taxi driver must have really
gotten to you in a hurry.
892
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,980
He did, asking for a $1000 reward.
893
01:24:22,337 --> 01:24:26,826
And all the questions you want to ask...
I called Dr Kemble from San Francisco.
894
01:24:27,149 --> 01:24:31,242
We knew Vince killed Jow Williams,
we found his blood on Joe's clothing.
895
01:24:31,604 --> 01:24:34,435
It matched up with our
lab files, yours didn't.
896
01:24:34,740 --> 01:24:37,351
And, Hazel told us the truth about Coke.
897
01:24:37,747 --> 01:24:41,254
Now, just get well. We'll finish
our business later.
898
01:24:42,217 --> 01:24:43,391
Nina...
899
01:24:43,451 --> 01:24:45,782
She's fine...in the waiting room.
900
01:25:05,063 --> 01:25:08,173
You shouldn't kiss a guy like
that when he's sick in bed.
901
01:25:10,205 --> 01:25:14,254
Well, I've been waiting outside all the
time. They wouldn't tell me anything.
902
01:25:14,314 --> 01:25:15,970
I was afraid...
903
01:25:17,151 --> 01:25:18,647
It's all right.
904
01:25:19,674 --> 01:25:21,170
We'll go away.
905
01:25:21,230 --> 01:25:24,222
We'll find that...crazy world of yours.
906
01:25:25,698 --> 01:25:27,151
Sure.
907
01:25:30,408 --> 01:25:32,373
There's only one thing...
908
01:25:33,675 --> 01:25:35,494
You'll always be...
909
01:25:35,758 --> 01:25:37,298
Eddie Rice.
910
01:25:38,853 --> 01:25:40,540
For the rest of my life.
911
01:25:40,990 --> 01:25:43,059
I have the doc's word for him.
912
01:25:44,673 --> 01:25:46,110
Come here.

After sustaining a head wound in combat, decorated World War II veteran Eddie Rice (John Payne) is treated at a San Francisco military hospital for a permanent form of amnesia. This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.
Rice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely.

1
00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556
This is the Letterman General Hosiptal
at San Francisco, California.
2
00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219
For those outside these gates the
war is over, a thing of the past.
3
00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888
For those behind these gates there's a
grim, hard, bitter fight still going on.
4
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518
Take one case, the case
of Eddie Rice, age 33.
5
00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206
Enlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.
Holder of the Silver Star, but today...
6
00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026
A name and date number, a medical file.
For five years a chart on a hospital bed.
7
00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340
A victim of amnesia.
A mind with a blocked out past.
8
00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127
Where were you born, Eddie?
Who are your parents?
9
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912
Any brothers? Sisters?
10
00:01:54,277 --> 00:01:58,775
Where did you go to school?
What's your trade? Profession?
11
00:01:59,433 --> 00:02:01,748
Are you rich?
Poor?
12
00:02:02,051 --> 00:02:03,689
Got a girl?
13
00:02:03,915 --> 00:02:05,289
Married?
14
00:02:05,349 --> 00:02:06,869
I don't know.
15
00:02:07,378 --> 00:02:09,015
I don't know!
16
00:02:09,824 --> 00:02:11,537
I can't remember.
17
00:02:12,444 --> 00:02:14,571
I just can't remember, doctor.
18
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:30,922
You had me open. What did you quit for?
-We did the best we could, Eddie.
19
00:02:31,218 --> 00:02:33,439
It'll just have to stay there.
20
00:02:34,606 --> 00:02:38,483
Is that final?
-Unless you want your name on a headstone.
21
00:02:38,543 --> 00:02:43,592
That shrapnel's too deep in your brain.
Scar tissue has grown all around it.
22
00:02:43,652 --> 00:02:46,980
Believe me, we tried.
-Yeah, I guess you did.
23
00:02:48,391 --> 00:02:52,551
Where do I go from here?
-Eddie, there are two kinds of amnesia:
24
00:02:52,611 --> 00:02:54,895
psychological and organic.
25
00:02:55,178 --> 00:03:00,240
The psychological form is temporary, but
it can be cured through psychotherapy.
26
00:03:01,016 --> 00:03:03,876
Yours is organic, it's permanent.
27
00:03:04,347 --> 00:03:07,772
That piece of steel in your brain
has blocked out your memory.
28
00:03:07,832 --> 00:03:10,863
Which doesn't leave me much
of a future, does it?
29
00:03:10,923 --> 00:03:15,071
Of course it does, physically
you're normal and healthy.
30
00:03:15,131 --> 00:03:17,771
You've received the maximum
medical benefits
31
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:22,559
You've completed training courses that make
you fit to hold down a job and face life.
32
00:03:23,499 --> 00:03:26,540
With no address, no next
of kin, nothing.
33
00:03:27,489 --> 00:03:29,567
Enlisted from Los Angeles...
34
00:03:29,627 --> 00:03:32,397
Intelligence ran that down
for us, remember?
35
00:03:32,867 --> 00:03:35,818
Oh sure, there were a lot of
people named Rice there...
36
00:03:36,026 --> 00:03:37,682
but not this Eddie Rice.
37
00:03:37,742 --> 00:03:41,777
But, Army Intelligence didn't mow
Los Angeles lawns as a kid, Eddie.
38
00:03:41,837 --> 00:03:44,292
They didn't trade at the corner market.
39
00:03:44,352 --> 00:03:48,775
They didn't work with people in a factory,
in an office, as you might have done.
40
00:03:48,986 --> 00:03:50,136
Now...
41
00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:54,081
If you went down there...and ran
into somebody who knew you,
42
00:03:54,141 --> 00:03:55,918
just one person...
43
00:03:56,384 --> 00:03:57,694
Yes...
44
00:03:58,992 --> 00:04:01,702
If I ran into just one person
who knew me.
45
00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:03,689
One guy...
46
00:04:04,785 --> 00:04:07,149
Who would come up to me and say:
47
00:04:07,616 --> 00:04:08,775
"Eddie."
48
00:04:08,986 --> 00:04:10,491
"Eddie Rice."
49
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:12,253
"How have you been?"
50
00:04:12,581 --> 00:04:14,132
"Where have you been?"
51
00:04:14,192 --> 00:04:15,577
That's it, Eddie.
52
00:04:15,637 --> 00:04:18,766
And then, they'd tell me about
someone else I used to know.
53
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:21,626
And, I'd meet somebody else.
54
00:04:22,635 --> 00:04:24,141
And another...
55
00:04:25,342 --> 00:04:26,908
And another...
56
00:04:57,774 --> 00:05:00,996
<i>Sure, it scares you to go out into
a world you don't remember...</i>
57
00:05:01,484 --> 00:05:02,959
<i>but you're here now.</i>
58
00:05:03,742 --> 00:05:05,473
<i>It'll be a new life.</i>
59
00:05:05,805 --> 00:05:07,295
<i>A new start.</i>
60
00:05:08,231 --> 00:05:10,189
<i>Find yourself a place to live.</i>
61
00:05:10,957 --> 00:05:12,613
<i>Get yourself a job.</i>
62
00:05:13,290 --> 00:05:14,540
<i>Get going.</i>
63
00:05:15,353 --> 00:05:16,919
<i>Get going, Eddie!</i>
64
00:05:19,198 --> 00:05:20,357
Eddie!
65
00:05:20,417 --> 00:05:22,736
You know, it's a small world, Eddie.
66
00:05:22,796 --> 00:05:25,266
We came down here to pick
up a little of one thing,
67
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:28,650
and we ran into a little of another!
-A lot of us thought you were dead.
68
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:32,851
Yes, and...those that didn't hoped you
were. What are you doing in town?
69
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,642
I'm just in from San Francisco.
70
00:05:36,702 --> 00:05:40,060
I didn't ask you that.
-He asked you what you were doing in town.
71
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,354
I cam here to look up some...people.
72
00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:45,989
Funny, I...I had a feeling that was it.
73
00:05:46,049 --> 00:05:48,443
Anderson one of them?
-Anderson?
74
00:05:49,719 --> 00:05:50,698
Maybe.
75
00:05:50,758 --> 00:05:54,251
I think you're lying, Eddie. I don't think you
were gonna look up Anderson at all.
76
00:05:54,311 --> 00:05:57,458
Barrett, do you think he was gonna
look up Anderson? -No, Joe.
77
00:05:57,699 --> 00:06:00,108
Not Anderson.
-I'll tell you what...
78
00:06:00,168 --> 00:06:02,737
I got a car and nothing
to do for a while...
79
00:06:02,797 --> 00:06:05,478
Let's go see Anderson together.
Any objections?
80
00:06:07,616 --> 00:06:09,016
No objections.
81
00:06:09,076 --> 00:06:11,256
Stick around, Kelly may still show.
82
00:06:11,452 --> 00:06:12,506
Let's go.
83
00:06:35,122 --> 00:06:37,667
'Honorable discharge of Edward Rice.'
84
00:06:41,972 --> 00:06:43,568
What's the gimmick?
85
00:06:44,110 --> 00:06:46,399
If you'd put away your blackjacks
long enough
86
00:06:46,459 --> 00:06:48,431
maybe I could get it through
your heads that...
87
00:06:48,491 --> 00:06:50,714
I don't know what you're talking about.
88
00:06:50,774 --> 00:06:52,912
You got yourself a sense
of humor, Eddie.
89
00:06:52,972 --> 00:06:56,010
You think you come back here with
a dumb look and a Silver Star...
90
00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:58,958
That changes a no good heel?
-But, I'm trying to tell you that...
91
00:06:59,018 --> 00:07:01,382
You don't have to tell us
anything about yourself.
92
00:07:01,442 --> 00:07:03,881
We got it all down in black and white.
93
00:07:06,019 --> 00:07:07,630
Read it, Riccardi.
94
00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:09,313
We didn't dream it up.
95
00:07:09,795 --> 00:07:12,355
Possession of a weapon
with intent to kill.
96
00:07:12,882 --> 00:07:14,553
Suspicion of murder.
97
00:07:17,184 --> 00:07:18,566
<i>Riccardi...</i>
98
00:07:19,274 --> 00:07:20,960
<i>Eddie Riccardi.</i>
99
00:07:21,638 --> 00:07:25,236
<i>That's not me, it can't be.
It only looks like me!</i>
100
00:07:26,348 --> 00:07:29,103
<i>I better get out of here!
I've got to get out!</i>
101
00:07:29,163 --> 00:07:33,093
Five years ago we hustled you out of town,
for good. Now what are you here for?
102
00:07:34,253 --> 00:07:35,939
<i>You've got to play ball.</i>
103
00:07:35,999 --> 00:07:39,153
<i>You need time. You need more
time to find out about yourself.</i>
104
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,894
Riccardi's just playing dumb, Captain.
105
00:07:42,556 --> 00:07:44,122
Put him in the lockup.
106
00:07:44,498 --> 00:07:47,085
I'm finding about these...
discharge papers.
107
00:07:47,145 --> 00:07:49,358
If they're phonies, we'll pin a
real one on him.
108
00:07:49,418 --> 00:07:50,999
Just a minute, Lieutenant.
109
00:07:52,426 --> 00:07:56,627
I guess, maybe I didn't want the army
to know about Eddie...Riccardi.
110
00:07:57,317 --> 00:08:00,133
The only friends I have
know me as Eddie Rice.
111
00:08:00,916 --> 00:08:02,813
I'd like to keep it that way.
112
00:08:03,219 --> 00:08:05,945
That's probably the first honest
thing you've ever said.
113
00:08:06,005 --> 00:08:07,537
Pick up your things.
114
00:08:10,967 --> 00:08:14,008
Be Eddie Rice in some other
town, but not here.
115
00:08:14,068 --> 00:08:18,540
Now, we can't hold you, but...you step
out of line once and we step on you.
116
00:08:26,034 --> 00:08:28,278
Notice anything different
about him, Williams?
117
00:08:28,338 --> 00:08:31,138
Nothing! If Riccardi stays in town
there's gonna be trouble.
118
00:08:31,198 --> 00:08:34,210
I don't know. He had a strange
look about him.
119
00:08:34,667 --> 00:08:37,934
Send to Washington for a complete
report on Edward Rice.
120
00:08:37,994 --> 00:08:40,870
That Silver Star, you really
do something to get one.
121
00:08:40,930 --> 00:08:43,686
Yeah, buy it in a pawn
shop for two bits.
122
00:09:01,270 --> 00:09:04,944
Nina, my sweet!
My beautiful, lovely...
123
00:09:05,004 --> 00:09:07,609
All right, Nick! Let's keep
it all business.
124
00:09:10,063 --> 00:09:13,240
Who is it this time?
-Petey. Suspicion of robbery.
125
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:16,251
Get him out before they start
shifting him around. -Petey?
126
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:17,588
Him?
127
00:09:17,648 --> 00:09:19,726
He wouldn't steal his own shadow.
128
00:09:19,786 --> 00:09:22,056
That was William's gag to get
him out of the way.
129
00:09:22,116 --> 00:09:25,670
I wouldn't know. Bail's $1000.
-Inflation!
130
00:09:25,730 --> 00:09:27,823
That's the whole trouble these days.
131
00:09:28,847 --> 00:09:30,714
Alexander, he unhappy?
132
00:09:31,252 --> 00:09:34,188
Nick. Keep your mind on your business.
133
00:09:34,248 --> 00:09:36,233
Let Vince worry about his, huh?
134
00:09:36,293 --> 00:09:39,259
Sure, beautiful Sure.
Forget I mentioned it.
135
00:09:53,907 --> 00:09:55,970
Take my advice, you leave town.
136
00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:57,837
I've got things to do.
137
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,125
Adios, boy! You're on your own.
138
00:10:04,466 --> 00:10:05,941
Kelly never showed.
139
00:10:06,001 --> 00:10:07,071
Odd.
140
00:10:07,131 --> 00:10:08,606
We'll hear from him.
141
00:10:18,132 --> 00:10:20,074
One of the usual fronts?
142
00:10:21,098 --> 00:10:24,064
You have a lot of Jane Does, Nick.
Use one of them.
143
00:10:26,732 --> 00:10:28,328
Of course, there's a big difference
144
00:10:28,388 --> 00:10:30,617
between the Florida oranges
and the California oranges.
145
00:10:30,677 --> 00:10:33,131
At least that's what the Chamber
of Commerce in Florida says.
146
00:10:33,191 --> 00:10:35,661
And the Chamber of Commerce
in California says...
147
00:10:35,872 --> 00:10:37,874
Orange juice, please.
-Yes, ma'am.
148
00:10:41,153 --> 00:10:42,388
Eddie.
149
00:10:44,691 --> 00:10:47,281
I thought it was you from
across the street.
150
00:10:48,856 --> 00:10:49,940
Hello.
151
00:10:51,204 --> 00:10:53,794
Is that the only thing
you've got to say?
152
00:10:54,110 --> 00:10:56,640
Well, there's a lot more
I could say, but...
153
00:10:57,107 --> 00:10:58,311
but you...
154
00:10:59,299 --> 00:11:00,609
Let's see...
155
00:11:01,814 --> 00:11:03,425
Nacy Morgan?
156
00:11:03,711 --> 00:11:05,051
Nora Murphy?
157
00:11:05,292 --> 00:11:09,176
No, you don't look like Nora Murphy.
-What'd you come back for, Eddie?
158
00:11:10,216 --> 00:11:12,610
A man has a right to come
home, hasn't he?
159
00:11:14,552 --> 00:11:17,699
My car is across the street,
I'll take you there.
160
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:18,994
Sure!
161
00:11:19,175 --> 00:11:20,228
Thanks.
162
00:11:45,318 --> 00:11:47,089
Vince know you're back?
163
00:11:47,149 --> 00:11:48,360
Vince?
164
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,025
Should he?
165
00:11:51,762 --> 00:11:53,419
You oughta know.
166
00:12:02,797 --> 00:12:04,499
Thanks for the lift.
167
00:12:07,503 --> 00:12:08,828
Coming in?
168
00:12:09,264 --> 00:12:11,447
Who said this was the end of the road?
169
00:12:12,833 --> 00:12:15,091
Who's complaining? Not me.
170
00:12:40,205 --> 00:12:41,530
Checking in?
171
00:12:41,771 --> 00:12:42,870
Long?
172
00:12:44,466 --> 00:12:45,896
I don't know yet.
173
00:12:46,739 --> 00:12:48,019
Alone?
174
00:12:48,648 --> 00:12:49,672
Yes.
175
00:12:52,517 --> 00:12:55,393
Edward Rice...San Francisco.
176
00:12:58,702 --> 00:13:00,042
304.
177
00:13:03,234 --> 00:13:06,757
I'll throw the stuff in the room and
be right back. -If you say so.
178
00:13:29,744 --> 00:13:32,665
Hello? hello, this is Nina.
I want to talk to Vince.
179
00:13:32,725 --> 00:13:33,885
He's busy.
180
00:13:33,945 --> 00:13:36,203
Not too busy for what
I've got to tell him.
181
00:13:36,263 --> 00:13:37,479
<i>He's not here.</i>
182
00:13:37,539 --> 00:13:41,379
Look, let's not keep where he is a
secret it might upset your whole future.
183
00:13:41,439 --> 00:13:42,945
Put me through to him!
184
00:13:55,033 --> 00:13:56,719
You talk too much.
185
00:13:57,397 --> 00:13:59,189
Another treatment, Kelly?
186
00:14:00,453 --> 00:14:01,603
Any...
187
00:14:02,265 --> 00:14:04,750
Any second...breaks, Vince?
188
00:14:06,993 --> 00:14:09,176
I'm easy to do business with.
189
00:14:10,165 --> 00:14:11,520
If you talk...
190
00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:12,830
you live.
191
00:14:14,034 --> 00:14:16,865
All i want to hear is your
angle with Joe Williams.
192
00:14:19,271 --> 00:14:22,463
Give him a cigarette, Danny.
It'll relax him.
193
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:30,609
I'm...trusting you, Vince.
194
00:14:30,834 --> 00:14:32,792
Sure. Sure, Kelly.
195
00:14:33,474 --> 00:14:35,612
I told you we'd turn you loose.
196
00:14:35,672 --> 00:14:37,388
You understand how I...
197
00:14:37,569 --> 00:14:40,942
How a guy feels when he's been
kicked out of the organization?
198
00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:43,633
I know...
199
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:47,533
I shouldn't of been a sucker and
told Williams about the...
200
00:14:48,253 --> 00:14:50,828
...about the silver dollar.
-Forget that.
201
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,915
What did you tell him about this?
-Nothing!
202
00:14:56,455 --> 00:14:58,201
Nothing much, really.
203
00:14:59,044 --> 00:15:01,755
Vince!
-What did you tell him, Kelly?
204
00:15:01,815 --> 00:15:03,185
Really, Vince...
205
00:15:03,381 --> 00:15:04,931
Nothing important.
206
00:15:05,688 --> 00:15:06,757
Just...
207
00:15:07,178 --> 00:15:08,970
a little of this and...
208
00:15:09,527 --> 00:15:11,304
that about the...
209
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,532
about the slot machines and...
210
00:15:14,315 --> 00:15:16,333
and the take. But, I...
211
00:15:16,787 --> 00:15:18,564
I phonied the figures.
212
00:15:19,403 --> 00:15:22,550
Honest I did.
-These figures aren't phoney.
213
00:15:22,836 --> 00:15:24,447
Where'd you get 'em?
214
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,684
Snatched them out of your safe, Vince.
215
00:15:31,219 --> 00:15:33,192
Williams is waiting for 'em.
216
00:15:33,535 --> 00:15:37,359
He was going to bundle me out of town,
bring me back for the trial.
217
00:15:38,696 --> 00:15:42,083
But, I was gonna duck.
They never would of found me.
218
00:15:44,568 --> 00:15:46,480
That's the truth, Vince!
219
00:15:54,771 --> 00:15:56,021
Hello.
220
00:15:56,788 --> 00:15:58,264
Hello, Nina.
221
00:16:02,956 --> 00:16:05,242
You sure it's him?
-I was with him!
222
00:16:05,302 --> 00:16:08,524
First I saw him outside police
headquarters talking to Joe Williams,
223
00:16:08,584 --> 00:16:10,466
then I drove him to the Cortez.
224
00:16:10,689 --> 00:16:14,362
He cked in under the name
of Eddie Rice, room 304.
225
00:16:14,422 --> 00:16:15,552
Thanks.
226
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:37,164
You still want to take that trip, Kelly?
227
00:16:39,317 --> 00:16:41,560
You don't have to worry about me, Vince.
228
00:16:42,019 --> 00:16:43,028
Don.
229
00:16:44,194 --> 00:16:45,820
Big mouth Kelly.
230
00:16:46,257 --> 00:16:48,832
You think what he's got
may be contagious?
231
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:50,563
Very...catchy.
232
00:16:51,562 --> 00:16:54,648
What's your opinion, Don?
-Very, definitely.
233
00:16:56,621 --> 00:16:58,283
What can I do?
234
00:16:59,322 --> 00:17:01,686
The consultation's in agreement.
235
00:17:04,595 --> 00:17:05,769
Kelly!
236
00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:07,380
You're dead!
237
00:17:09,097 --> 00:17:10,527
Oh, and Kelly...
238
00:17:10,774 --> 00:17:14,749
When you get to where you're going,
have 'em give you a nice, even burn.
239
00:17:14,809 --> 00:17:17,579
Don't let them just fry you on one side.
240
00:18:01,054 --> 00:18:05,210
I'm sorry to bother you again, but..
has there been any sign of the girl yet?
241
00:18:07,876 --> 00:18:09,051
Thanks.
242
00:18:40,394 --> 00:18:42,743
Don't you believe in knocking on doors?
243
00:18:43,857 --> 00:18:45,814
Who are you? What do you want?
244
00:19:00,538 --> 00:19:02,661
So, that's where you've been hold up...
245
00:19:02,932 --> 00:19:04,498
Eddie Rice!
246
00:19:05,181 --> 00:19:08,990
No wonder I couldn't get a line on you.
Are you back sightseeing?
247
00:19:09,378 --> 00:19:10,854
Mr Rice?
248
00:19:13,052 --> 00:19:15,326
This supposed to be a free country?
249
00:19:15,684 --> 00:19:17,250
Free town?
250
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:18,951
Open to anyone?
251
00:19:19,011 --> 00:19:20,366
Not with me in it.
252
00:19:20,635 --> 00:19:23,240
You didn't waste much time
picking up with the cops.
253
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:27,395
Why should it worry you about
me talking to Williams?
254
00:19:27,455 --> 00:19:29,274
You've got me confused, Eddie.
255
00:19:29,771 --> 00:19:33,460
Only a sucker would walk back in
town after the deal you pulled.
256
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,979
Some things a fella has to...
257
00:19:37,401 --> 00:19:39,102
find out for himself.
258
00:19:40,096 --> 00:19:41,948
Not about you and me.
259
00:19:50,768 --> 00:19:53,283
I've been saving this for five years.
260
00:19:54,021 --> 00:19:57,378
Everyone in life has his bible,
this is mine.
261
00:19:58,978 --> 00:20:03,661
I take it out and read it every day. I read
it to remind me of a guy I grew up with.
262
00:20:03,917 --> 00:20:05,648
Got shoved around with.
263
00:20:06,277 --> 00:20:08,566
We used to take a lot of raps together.
264
00:20:09,439 --> 00:20:13,143
Some people would call a guy
like that a...a loyal friend.
265
00:20:13,968 --> 00:20:15,353
He was.
266
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:22,050
Until he turned into a dirty stool pigeon,
and let me take the rap for him!
267
00:20:38,866 --> 00:20:40,070
Eddie...
268
00:20:41,380 --> 00:20:42,811
Riccardi?
269
00:20:43,025 --> 00:20:47,105
My good friend who sold me out
to a cop named Joe Williams!
270
00:20:58,268 --> 00:21:00,541
Don't mess up his face too much.
271
00:21:03,876 --> 00:21:05,909
I ought to kill you, Eddie.
272
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:08,709
But, you're not worth taking
another rap for!
273
00:21:08,769 --> 00:21:11,058
In 24 hours...disappear!
274
00:21:11,935 --> 00:21:15,006
Otherwise, I might be tempted
to change my mind!
275
00:21:15,624 --> 00:21:17,205
Give him some air!
276
00:22:11,865 --> 00:22:14,153
<i>Why didn't the girl come back?</i>
277
00:22:15,523 --> 00:22:17,812
<i>What did she know about me?</i>
278
00:22:18,730 --> 00:22:20,808
<i>Why did she bring me here?</i>
279
00:22:21,847 --> 00:22:23,111
<i>Vince...</i>
280
00:22:24,060 --> 00:22:26,123
<i>Why didn't Vince kill me?</i>
281
00:22:27,402 --> 00:22:29,450
<i>Maybe I deserved it.</i>
282
00:22:30,625 --> 00:22:33,140
<i>Maybe Dr Kemble ought to know?</i>
283
00:22:34,224 --> 00:22:36,051
<i>I better tell him.</i>
284
00:22:37,226 --> 00:22:39,033
<i>I better call him.</i>
285
00:22:40,328 --> 00:22:41,908
<i>I better...</i>
286
00:22:44,659 --> 00:22:45,879
Hello.
287
00:22:46,391 --> 00:22:50,456
I want to put through a call, person
to person. Dr Kemble...
288
00:22:50,652 --> 00:22:53,392
Letterman Genral Hospital,
San Francisco.
289
00:22:54,435 --> 00:22:56,091
K-E-M-B-L-E
290
00:22:57,411 --> 00:22:58,736
Thank you.
291
00:23:14,170 --> 00:23:15,961
Hello, Dr Kemble?
292
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,812
When do you expect him back?
293
00:23:19,219 --> 00:23:20,920
Not till tomorrow?
294
00:23:22,121 --> 00:23:24,500
Never mind, I'll see him personally.
295
00:24:15,503 --> 00:24:18,780
Forget about Union Station.
Take me to 7 Braxton Avenue.
296
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:30,476
Wait for me.
297
00:24:51,762 --> 00:24:53,961
Thanks a lot Lou, for driving me home.
298
00:24:54,021 --> 00:24:57,393
Just a minute, darling.
I'll walk to the door with you.
299
00:24:58,990 --> 00:25:02,378
It's early, Nina. A little drink for
a nightcap won't hurt you.
300
00:25:02,589 --> 00:25:04,456
That's what you think.
301
00:25:04,516 --> 00:25:07,825
You could make me forget that
thousand I dropped tonight, Nina.
302
00:25:07,885 --> 00:25:11,182
I can forget a lot of things, Lou.
You, for instance.
303
00:25:11,242 --> 00:25:13,633
Good night.
-Just a minute, baby.
304
00:25:13,693 --> 00:25:16,328
I'd like a little receipt
for that grand.
305
00:25:19,246 --> 00:25:20,827
That's better.
306
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:25,539
That's your receipt. Good night.
307
00:25:45,117 --> 00:25:46,758
Now listen...
308
00:25:50,045 --> 00:25:51,461
Go ahead.
309
00:25:51,521 --> 00:25:53,237
Take a good look.
310
00:25:53,629 --> 00:25:58,055
If you came to tell me how Vince welcomed
you back, you've said it. So, goodbye!
311
00:25:58,673 --> 00:26:02,272
I want to know what you had
to do with me...in my life.
312
00:26:04,596 --> 00:26:06,057
And this.
313
00:26:10,473 --> 00:26:12,160
December the 24th,
314
00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:13,801
1943.
315
00:26:14,162 --> 00:26:16,120
Ah, that was a lovely Christmas.
316
00:26:16,903 --> 00:26:19,041
One I'll never forget.
317
00:26:24,136 --> 00:26:26,380
Only one of your presents!
318
00:26:29,297 --> 00:26:33,664
Sure, I told Vince Alexander
you're back. I work for him.
319
00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:39,946
This clipping...
320
00:26:40,955 --> 00:26:45,366
Why couldn't you testify at the trial?
-Oh, no routines, I've heard them all.
321
00:26:48,454 --> 00:26:51,436
Listen to me!
I'm just out of an army hospital
322
00:26:51,496 --> 00:26:54,507
with a piece of steel in my head
and no memory to go with it.
323
00:26:54,567 --> 00:26:57,756
I'm here to find out about myself and
I'm getting answers the hard way!
324
00:26:57,816 --> 00:27:00,677
I don't know you, Vince Alexander...
325
00:27:00,737 --> 00:27:05,055
or anybody called Eddie Riccardi!
All I know is one person, Eddie Rice! Me!
326
00:27:07,178 --> 00:27:09,391
You're the last person I can turn to.
327
00:27:10,472 --> 00:27:12,263
Please believe me.
328
00:27:12,850 --> 00:27:14,115
Help me.
329
00:27:16,584 --> 00:27:19,039
That's a very touching speech.
330
00:27:21,477 --> 00:27:23,901
You lost your memory.
331
00:27:24,564 --> 00:27:28,298
You don't know why I couldn't
testify at the trial.
332
00:27:28,529 --> 00:27:32,067
You've forgotten how you used me to
make sure Vince would go to prison
333
00:27:32,127 --> 00:27:33,829
so you'd be set free.
334
00:27:33,889 --> 00:27:37,966
But, if you're back to your old tricks
again I've got sad news for you,
335
00:27:38,026 --> 00:27:40,752
I tore up your raincheck
three years ago.
336
00:27:43,494 --> 00:27:45,587
I'm not your wife anymore.
337
00:28:05,380 --> 00:28:08,090
Now to the station?
-Back to the hotel.
338
00:28:47,065 --> 00:28:49,579
You act like a cop that just
lost a conviction?
339
00:28:49,639 --> 00:28:52,877
Maybe I have, take a look at these.
Fresh out of the photo lab.
340
00:28:54,339 --> 00:28:56,808
Sharks don't talk, the
fingerprints spell Kelly.
341
00:28:56,868 --> 00:28:59,413
The Coroner said he was dead two
hours before he hit the water.
342
00:28:59,473 --> 00:29:01,807
Too bad. With the information
Kelly had for us
343
00:29:01,867 --> 00:29:04,186
we could have put Vince
away for a long stretch.
344
00:29:05,335 --> 00:29:07,066
What's eating you, Joe?
345
00:29:07,563 --> 00:29:09,295
I was a smart cop.
346
00:29:09,355 --> 00:29:12,712
I put Petey away to get him off of
Kelly's tail, and this is what happens.
347
00:29:12,772 --> 00:29:14,594
I feel like I killed Kelly.
348
00:29:14,654 --> 00:29:16,897
Riccardi...think he's tied up in it?
349
00:29:16,957 --> 00:29:19,909
Walking back into town that day
could tie him up in anything.
350
00:29:20,237 --> 00:29:22,706
Is the case my baby?
-All yours.
351
00:29:24,916 --> 00:29:26,301
Now what?
352
00:29:26,361 --> 00:29:28,936
I figure we shouldn't keep
it a secret from Vince.
353
00:29:40,844 --> 00:29:43,087
Only six days in the week now, huh?
354
00:29:43,455 --> 00:29:46,557
How do you like that, the card
must have fell out.
355
00:29:46,617 --> 00:29:48,604
It was there yesterday. Nick...
356
00:29:48,664 --> 00:29:50,125
Who's Jane Doe?
357
00:29:50,185 --> 00:29:52,817
Please, Lieutenant. I don't look
at their birth certificate.
358
00:29:52,877 --> 00:29:55,075
Lots of people don't use
their right names.
359
00:29:55,135 --> 00:29:59,002
With me, a buck is a buck.
I don't ask questions.
360
00:29:59,318 --> 00:30:02,435
Before I'm through, Nick...
you'll be answering a few.
361
00:30:08,026 --> 00:30:12,377
It's gettin' so you can't tail a guy anymore
without having the cops jump on ya.
362
00:30:12,437 --> 00:30:14,666
This town's goin' to the dogs.
363
00:30:14,981 --> 00:30:18,143
Samson and me...
-Petey! Get that cat off the desk!
364
00:30:18,776 --> 00:30:22,133
I was just saying, Samson and
me could stand a vacation.
365
00:30:22,389 --> 00:30:25,340
You want us to blow town?
-That's just what I don't want.
366
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,047
Coke will set you up, and stay quiet!
367
00:30:28,107 --> 00:30:30,667
Well, sure Vince, sure.
Anything you say.
368
00:31:05,567 --> 00:31:06,922
Hello, Danny.
369
00:31:16,370 --> 00:31:18,327
Come in. Come in, Joe.
370
00:31:18,674 --> 00:31:22,543
Pull up a chair and rest your feet.
I hear you've had a busy day.
371
00:31:26,329 --> 00:31:29,099
I figured you would.
I was saving you for last.
372
00:31:30,183 --> 00:31:31,644
Should I...
373
00:31:31,930 --> 00:31:33,993
relax or call in my lawyer?
374
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:36,698
That depends on how nervous you are.
375
00:31:36,758 --> 00:31:39,529
I was always thought nervous
guys bit their nails?
376
00:31:39,589 --> 00:31:41,095
Now, let me see...
377
00:31:41,317 --> 00:31:44,675
Nick was a little bit hazy about
who Jane Doe was.
378
00:31:44,946 --> 00:31:47,144
I thought you might be able to tell me.
379
00:31:47,336 --> 00:31:49,113
Never heard of the girl.
380
00:31:49,173 --> 00:31:50,634
Then there's Petey.
381
00:31:50,694 --> 00:31:54,654
And how certain people got know where
and just when to bail him out.
382
00:31:54,714 --> 00:31:57,014
Now...nobody knows anything.
383
00:31:57,421 --> 00:31:58,912
But, we'll find him.
384
00:31:59,273 --> 00:32:01,863
We;ve got all exits out of town plugged.
385
00:32:03,697 --> 00:32:06,483
And I got a hunch he'll
be real cooperative.
386
00:32:06,769 --> 00:32:08,063
You see...
387
00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:10,698
I don't think he knows
anything about this.
388
00:32:11,090 --> 00:32:12,249
Kelly.
389
00:32:12,798 --> 00:32:15,162
He's gone and gotten himself killed.
390
00:32:15,915 --> 00:32:17,571
Just like Kelly...
391
00:32:17,842 --> 00:32:19,920
You never know what he'll do next.
392
00:32:20,191 --> 00:32:21,983
That goes for a lot of guys.
393
00:32:22,449 --> 00:32:23,910
Take you and...
394
00:32:24,482 --> 00:32:26,529
Then again, take Eddie Riccardi...
395
00:32:26,589 --> 00:32:29,962
You boys forgive and forget,
and back in business again.
396
00:32:31,037 --> 00:32:34,485
You and Riccardi got a lot in common,
why don't you ask him?
397
00:32:34,545 --> 00:32:36,352
At the moment, you're number one.
398
00:32:36,623 --> 00:32:40,281
And, it won't be any...manslaughter
charge and out in two years.
399
00:32:41,076 --> 00:32:43,048
I put you away this time...
400
00:32:43,334 --> 00:32:44,840
it'll be for keeps.
401
00:32:47,035 --> 00:32:50,031
You got all the answers figured
out, haven't you?
402
00:32:50,091 --> 00:32:52,636
I might have, sooner than you think.
403
00:32:53,959 --> 00:32:55,479
So sorry!
404
00:33:35,693 --> 00:33:39,292
Me, I never had a complaint.
You call my old boss.
405
00:33:39,352 --> 00:33:42,115
He'll tell you my bringing in 500
a night at the gambling tables
406
00:33:42,175 --> 00:33:44,344
was a small bag of tell.
407
00:33:45,169 --> 00:33:48,993
Oh, Mr Alexander! I just came in looking
for a job and I was telling Ms Martin...
408
00:33:49,053 --> 00:33:50,378
Get rid of her.
409
00:33:51,278 --> 00:33:55,238
Vince, we need some new talent...
-Okay! Okay! Come back at eight tonight.
410
00:33:55,298 --> 00:33:58,324
She'll tell you what to do.
-Oh, gee! Thanks!
411
00:34:01,806 --> 00:34:03,899
You know Eddie's still in town?
412
00:34:05,013 --> 00:34:06,172
Yes.
413
00:34:06,353 --> 00:34:08,024
Been around to see you?
414
00:34:09,667 --> 00:34:10,796
When?
415
00:34:11,534 --> 00:34:13,266
Late last night.
416
00:34:14,184 --> 00:34:16,548
Did he tell ya I gave him
24 hours to get out?
417
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,249
No.
418
00:34:19,872 --> 00:34:22,793
Well, I changed my mind.
I want him to stay.
419
00:34:23,049 --> 00:34:25,142
I want you to make sure he does stay.
420
00:34:26,876 --> 00:34:29,827
My job's to work the tables
for you here, Vince, and...
421
00:34:30,324 --> 00:34:34,961
I don't even mind setups like the one with
Petey or...other deals like that, but...
422
00:34:36,439 --> 00:34:37,613
Vince...
423
00:34:38,336 --> 00:34:40,534
Stay out of my personal life!
424
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:42,311
Listen you...
425
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,041
When Eddie dropped you, who picked
you up and gave you your health?
426
00:34:46,101 --> 00:34:49,053
Who gave you your job?
Everything you got?
427
00:34:49,459 --> 00:34:51,206
Vince Alexander!
428
00:34:52,806 --> 00:34:54,538
I won't do it, Vince.
429
00:34:54,598 --> 00:34:55,923
Forget Eddie.
430
00:34:55,983 --> 00:34:57,639
When I get through with him.
431
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,717
But, now you're gonna meet him.
432
00:35:00,715 --> 00:35:03,440
And, I want you to make sure
he does stay in town.
433
00:35:34,220 --> 00:35:35,566
What'll it be?
434
00:35:35,626 --> 00:35:37,854
Did five years make you
forget that easily?
435
00:35:37,914 --> 00:35:41,016
I told you...in five years you
can forget a lot of things.
436
00:35:41,076 --> 00:35:43,064
Something for the lady?
-Rob Roy, please.
437
00:35:43,124 --> 00:35:44,491
The same.
438
00:35:48,131 --> 00:35:50,932
What made you change your mind
about seeing me again?
439
00:35:54,897 --> 00:35:58,210
You know, finding out I was married
to you kind of threw me.
440
00:35:58,992 --> 00:36:02,169
It was even something the boys at
the hospital used to rib me about.
441
00:36:02,564 --> 00:36:05,605
They had me fixed up with a
wife and four or five kids.
442
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:09,881
They didn't know how close the
gag came to being true.
443
00:36:11,474 --> 00:36:13,672
You still don't believe me, do you?
444
00:36:21,056 --> 00:36:25,236
Maybe this'll convince you it was Eddie
Rice that rang your doorbell last night.
445
00:36:26,537 --> 00:36:29,909
Call Dr Kemble at Letterman's
Hospital in San Francisco.
446
00:36:31,007 --> 00:36:33,025
He'll tell you the whole story.
447
00:36:38,141 --> 00:36:39,767
Tha cigarette case...
448
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,323
Doesn't it mean anything to you?
449
00:36:47,468 --> 00:36:48,868
Should it?
450
00:36:54,926 --> 00:36:57,350
Suppose I did believe you, then what?
451
00:36:59,488 --> 00:37:03,569
Then, I'd try and make you forget that
Eddie Riccardi was ever in your life.
452
00:37:04,476 --> 00:37:06,403
You think you can do that?
453
00:37:07,216 --> 00:37:08,737
Eddie Rice can.
454
00:37:20,823 --> 00:37:22,570
Eddie, leave town.
455
00:37:24,533 --> 00:37:27,228
Now you're talking like Vince.
-Maybe I was yesterday.
456
00:37:27,288 --> 00:37:30,492
Don't ask me why, but go.
-Nina, I don't frighten easily.
457
00:37:30,552 --> 00:37:33,353
You can take that message back to Vince.
Tell him I'm staying!
458
00:37:33,413 --> 00:37:36,816
That's what he wants you to do. That's
why I'm here, to keep you from leaving.
459
00:37:36,876 --> 00:37:38,740
I'd hate to disappoint him then.
460
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,895
Eddie, don't be stubborn, I know Vince.
He doesn't do anything without a reason.
461
00:37:43,964 --> 00:37:45,530
Neither do I.
462
00:37:47,802 --> 00:37:52,590
Stay then! Get yourself beaten up again,
or killed. Do anything you want.
463
00:38:35,782 --> 00:38:38,267
Riccardi.
-Very interesting.
464
00:38:47,205 --> 00:38:48,936
Scotch over water.
465
00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:53,136
Lose something, Charlie?
466
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,406
Tell Nina Martin, Eddie wants to see her.
-Eddie who?
467
00:38:59,658 --> 00:39:01,103
Just Eddie.
468
00:39:01,630 --> 00:39:03,060
Wait here.
469
00:39:11,467 --> 00:39:12,943
What'll I need?
470
00:39:13,003 --> 00:39:15,653
A thousand might bring you luck.
-A thousand?
471
00:39:15,894 --> 00:39:17,475
Give me a thousand.
472
00:39:24,925 --> 00:39:27,891
A character called Eddie's outside,
wants to see you.
473
00:39:27,951 --> 00:39:29,412
Eddie here?
474
00:39:29,788 --> 00:39:31,204
Get rid of him!
475
00:39:31,425 --> 00:39:33,668
That's not what Vince had in mind.
476
00:39:43,422 --> 00:39:44,972
All right, come on.
477
00:39:53,097 --> 00:39:54,663
6...9...12!
478
00:39:54,919 --> 00:39:56,636
All bets down.
479
00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:04,549
It's a nice layout. Vince ought to be
able to pick up some fast money.
480
00:40:04,609 --> 00:40:07,063
You're crazy to come walking in here.
481
00:40:07,123 --> 00:40:09,273
Maybe I'm just hard to convince.
482
00:40:10,477 --> 00:40:12,374
My dressing room is back there.
483
00:40:13,925 --> 00:40:16,590
I'll be back before the
wheel stops turning.
484
00:40:34,853 --> 00:40:35,973
Yeah?
485
00:40:37,478 --> 00:40:38,939
Okay, thanks.
486
00:40:43,645 --> 00:40:45,813
So, she wanted to get rid of him.
487
00:40:47,179 --> 00:40:50,040
I wonder if that dame is trying
to pull a double cross.
488
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,129
Get down to the Golden Horn and pick up
Eddie Riccardi, you'll find him with Nina.
489
00:40:55,189 --> 00:40:56,270
Just him?
490
00:40:56,571 --> 00:40:57,746
Just him.
491
00:40:58,197 --> 00:41:00,110
I'll get around to her later.
492
00:41:03,747 --> 00:41:05,569
I started to leave...
493
00:41:05,794 --> 00:41:08,309
but I kept thinking about
everything you told me.
494
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,230
If I'd of left I'd been all the
things you said I was.
495
00:41:11,727 --> 00:41:13,232
So, I'm staying.
496
00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:17,505
And, I'm taking you out of here.
497
00:41:18,498 --> 00:41:19,673
Nina.
498
00:41:21,043 --> 00:41:23,436
We could have a decent life together.
499
00:41:26,553 --> 00:41:28,465
You got it all figured out.
500
00:41:31,452 --> 00:41:36,089
Well, you're not taking me anywhere.
You pushed me into this life and I like it.
501
00:41:36,481 --> 00:41:41,374
I'm top bait around here steering nice,
fat, pigeons to the gambling table.
502
00:41:41,434 --> 00:41:46,174
I'm one of Vince's kind now and I'm keeping
my life and my job just the way they are.
503
00:41:46,234 --> 00:41:48,026
No matter what I have to do!
504
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:49,934
Come on.
505
00:41:59,090 --> 00:42:00,144
Thanks.
506
00:42:10,804 --> 00:42:13,469
Now, how about some champagne?
507
00:42:14,389 --> 00:42:17,581
Excuse me for a minute, honey.
I forgot I got to call my wife.
508
00:42:32,729 --> 00:42:35,048
Williams, Homicide.
Yeah, Barnes.
509
00:42:36,509 --> 00:42:37,653
Yeah!
510
00:42:38,586 --> 00:42:39,881
Thanks a lot!
511
00:42:40,377 --> 00:42:41,898
What's exciting?
512
00:42:50,385 --> 00:42:54,646
I said, what's exciting? Or, don't
you want to wake me up?
513
00:42:55,138 --> 00:42:59,113
Barnes casing the Golden Horn for vice
intel, tells me Riccardi just walked in.
514
00:42:59,805 --> 00:43:01,266
Trouble maybe?
515
00:43:01,717 --> 00:43:04,924
I could think of plenty of reasons why
there might be for Eddie Rice.
516
00:43:05,478 --> 00:43:07,300
You'll hear from me later.
517
00:43:25,961 --> 00:43:28,189
How you coming with that
Kelly report, Ben?
518
00:43:28,249 --> 00:43:30,945
Just finishing up for you.
-Okay, I'll wait.
519
00:43:33,515 --> 00:43:36,586
Somebody must've believed in that
old gag about an apple a day.
520
00:43:36,646 --> 00:43:40,513
Yeah, but they didn't know it would pin
a murder on them. -Quite an appetite.
521
00:43:40,573 --> 00:43:43,253
Psychological, it creates
a false hunger.
522
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:50,156
Well, here you are, Joe.
I can go home now.
523
00:43:50,216 --> 00:43:53,454
Thanks a lot, Ben. See you tomorrow.
-Okay, see ya tomorrow.
524
00:44:06,875 --> 00:44:07,778
Yeah?
525
00:44:07,838 --> 00:44:10,970
I'm interested in Eddie Riccardi,
not in what's going on in there.
526
00:44:11,030 --> 00:44:13,680
We don't know from Riccardi.
-I do, open up.
527
00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:18,240
Place your bets, folks. Place your
bets. Bet high/low...odd or even.
528
00:44:38,711 --> 00:44:39,795
Yes?
529
00:44:39,990 --> 00:44:43,438
Miss Martin? Williams, Homicide.
May I come in please?
530
00:44:43,732 --> 00:44:44,982
Come in.
531
00:44:47,432 --> 00:44:50,820
Eddie was just picked up by Danny.
-Where'd he take him?
532
00:44:52,557 --> 00:44:54,424
You'll hear from me later.
533
00:45:14,826 --> 00:45:16,377
You know, Williams?
534
00:45:17,054 --> 00:45:19,524
I'm not used to cops with insomnia.
535
00:45:20,201 --> 00:45:22,791
What's on your mind?
-It won't take long.
536
00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:25,960
Danny picked up Eddie Riccardi.
Where are they?
537
00:45:27,537 --> 00:45:29,329
You're in an awful rut.
538
00:45:29,540 --> 00:45:31,497
Always asking questions.
539
00:45:31,557 --> 00:45:33,846
All right...let's start over.
540
00:45:34,581 --> 00:45:37,306
Eddie was at the Golden Horn
with Nina Martin.
541
00:45:37,366 --> 00:45:39,685
Suddenly, he wasn't there anymore.
542
00:45:40,208 --> 00:45:41,368
So...
543
00:45:41,578 --> 00:45:44,018
So...I don't mind waiting.
544
00:45:45,900 --> 00:45:48,053
While we kill a little time...
545
00:45:49,429 --> 00:45:51,176
This might interest you.
546
00:46:01,803 --> 00:46:05,733
And, after we pick up Riccardi...
we're going down to police headquarters.
547
00:46:06,034 --> 00:46:08,579
You're gonna have a manicure...on me.
548
00:46:10,294 --> 00:46:13,380
You know, you're gonna look awful
silly when I get through with you.
549
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,819
If I'm wrong...I'll apologize.
550
00:46:21,050 --> 00:46:23,264
Say hello, nothing more.
551
00:46:25,733 --> 00:46:26,862
Hello.
552
00:46:27,674 --> 00:46:31,408
Vince, we're at the shop. Do we
stay or bring Riccardi up there?
553
00:46:32,507 --> 00:46:34,238
Tell him you'll be down.
554
00:46:52,464 --> 00:46:53,699
Okay, Coke...
555
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,385
<i>Bring him up here.</i>
556
00:47:28,724 --> 00:47:30,530
What do you want now?
557
00:47:41,819 --> 00:47:44,605
Just when he was coming up
in the department.
558
00:49:14,591 --> 00:49:15,886
Car 9-4
559
00:49:15,946 --> 00:49:17,813
9-4 to Control-4.
560
00:49:17,873 --> 00:49:20,252
<i>Clear Frequency-4, this is an emergency.</i>
561
00:49:20,312 --> 00:49:23,126
Control-4 to 94, go ahead.
562
00:49:23,186 --> 00:49:25,099
<i>Car 94 to Control-4</i>
563
00:49:25,159 --> 00:49:29,209
<i>Notify the Homicide Bureau, we have found
the body of Lt Williams in his car.</i>
564
00:49:29,269 --> 00:49:31,133
At Sepulveda and Sunset.
565
00:50:17,423 --> 00:50:18,763
Give you a lift, son?
566
00:50:18,823 --> 00:50:21,485
Thanks, I had a little accident
back up a side road.
567
00:50:21,545 --> 00:50:24,556
I have to go to town, get a tow car.
-Anybody killed?
568
00:50:27,016 --> 00:50:29,561
No luck at all tonight.
Hop in.
569
00:50:39,349 --> 00:50:42,090
Bet you thought I wouldn't stop
to pick you up, didn't you?
570
00:50:42,150 --> 00:50:43,638
I didn't know.
571
00:50:43,698 --> 00:50:45,113
It's late.
-See...
572
00:50:45,173 --> 00:50:49,130
That's why I fooled you. Have me orders.
Pick up anybody, anytime.
573
00:50:49,747 --> 00:50:51,870
Green Acres Morticians policy.
574
00:50:52,094 --> 00:50:54,698
Live today...maybe a customer tomorrow.
575
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,400
Pays off too.
576
00:50:56,460 --> 00:50:59,848
Most people remember the nice things
you do for them while they're living.
577
00:50:59,908 --> 00:51:03,864
We sure don't get any complaints about our
service from them after they're dead.
578
00:51:03,924 --> 00:51:05,927
Their family, that is.
579
00:51:07,423 --> 00:51:09,441
That accident hurt you any?
580
00:51:10,992 --> 00:51:13,069
Got a match?
-Sure do.
581
00:51:19,645 --> 00:51:21,813
Police, ambulance and everything.
582
00:51:22,114 --> 00:51:24,312
I wonder if I'm losing any customers?
583
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:40,902
Finished with Joe's stuff yet?
-Still working on it.
584
00:51:43,326 --> 00:51:44,816
It's too bad...
585
00:51:45,434 --> 00:51:48,460
Joe's wife sure liked him
in that suit too.
586
00:52:13,311 --> 00:52:16,021
Any line on Riccardi yet?
-Nothing, Captain.
587
00:52:16,081 --> 00:52:19,710
Keep trying, he's the last one who
might of seen Joe. -Okay.
588
00:52:20,197 --> 00:52:21,718
Eddie Riccardi.
589
00:52:24,187 --> 00:52:26,445
Guess Williams was right after all.
590
00:52:26,701 --> 00:52:28,538
Riccardi or Rice.
591
00:52:28,826 --> 00:52:32,530
A Silver Star and a dumb look doesn't
change a no good heel.
592
00:52:33,147 --> 00:52:36,173
Attention all units!
Attention all units!
593
00:52:36,233 --> 00:52:40,175
Be on the lookout for the following
<i>described suspect, wanted for murder:</i>
594
00:52:40,551 --> 00:52:43,322
<i>Eddie Riccardi, alias Eddie Rice,</i>
595
00:52:43,589 --> 00:52:46,164
<i>White male, American,</i>
596
00:52:46,224 --> 00:52:49,341
<i>Age 33, 6 foot 2.</i>
597
00:52:49,729 --> 00:52:51,506
<i>190 lbs...</i>
598
00:52:51,957 --> 00:52:53,312
<i>Dark brown...</i>
599
00:52:53,659 --> 00:52:55,944
You phone the cops and do 'em a favor,
600
00:52:56,004 --> 00:53:00,024
where to find a dead cop and the guy
that did it, and what happens...
601
00:53:05,972 --> 00:53:08,035
The first stop is Nina Martin's.
602
00:53:08,276 --> 00:53:10,474
I want Eddie before the cops get him.
603
00:53:10,730 --> 00:53:12,913
Then they can have him for a present.
604
00:53:14,334 --> 00:53:15,915
And alive!
605
00:53:32,066 --> 00:53:33,843
Eddie!
-Shut up!
606
00:53:34,168 --> 00:53:36,065
Get those lights out!
607
00:53:37,285 --> 00:53:39,152
Eddie, what happened?
608
00:53:40,533 --> 00:53:43,951
You certainly did a neat job
of tying me into a murder.
609
00:53:44,011 --> 00:53:46,089
Joe Williams was killed tonight.
610
00:53:46,149 --> 00:53:47,901
You?
-I don't know.
611
00:53:47,961 --> 00:53:51,138
The last thing I remember was being slugged
over the head at Vince Alexander's.
612
00:53:51,198 --> 00:53:53,713
I know you think that...
-I haven't got time to think!
613
00:53:53,773 --> 00:53:57,811
All I want is a few bucks, your car and
you in my sight till I get out of here!
614
00:53:57,871 --> 00:53:59,874
Eddie, you've got to believe me!
615
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:01,335
Believe?
616
00:54:01,656 --> 00:54:03,508
Like you believed me?
617
00:54:03,885 --> 00:54:05,661
Give me the keys!
618
00:54:10,271 --> 00:54:14,017
Eddie! This is why I turned on you
tonight, to get you away from Vince.
619
00:54:14,077 --> 00:54:16,992
The keys are in the car, you go,
I'll try to stall them off.
620
00:54:17,224 --> 00:54:19,468
And get a bullet in the back of my head?
621
00:54:19,528 --> 00:54:22,404
Oh, Eddie! You've got to trust me,
it's your only chance.
622
00:54:24,815 --> 00:54:26,091
Quick!
623
00:54:26,444 --> 00:54:28,043
The garage.
624
00:55:25,770 --> 00:55:29,188
This is where you get out. -Go to the
police, Eddie. Before it's too late.
625
00:55:29,248 --> 00:55:32,400
With my fingerprints all over the
gun and all over Williams car?
626
00:55:32,460 --> 00:55:35,257
I wouldn't last long enough to walk
to the nearest police station.
627
00:55:35,317 --> 00:55:38,133
If I did what could I tell them?
Now out!
628
00:55:38,788 --> 00:55:41,737
You want me to go home and wait
for Vince to come back again?
629
00:55:41,797 --> 00:55:45,800
That's something Eddie Riccardo would
tell me to do, not Eddie Rice.
630
00:55:49,139 --> 00:55:50,606
All right.
631
00:56:06,538 --> 00:56:07,668
Stop.
632
00:56:11,312 --> 00:56:13,997
Keep your lights off and
the motor running.
633
00:56:57,233 --> 00:56:59,889
Well, now you've got a gun! What next?
634
00:57:01,213 --> 00:57:04,044
I didn't ask for any killings,
so I'm in the middle.
635
00:57:04,528 --> 00:57:07,711
But, I'm not going to be a clay
pigeon for Vince Alexander.
636
00:57:08,308 --> 00:57:10,513
You can't prove anything dead.
637
00:57:10,573 --> 00:57:14,597
That would make Vince very happy,
something I wouldn't want to let happen.
638
00:57:15,047 --> 00:57:18,758
Is there any place we could go, someone
you can trust to put us up for the night?
639
00:57:18,818 --> 00:57:20,299
I need time.
640
00:57:21,747 --> 00:57:23,404
Maybe there is.
641
00:57:23,464 --> 00:57:25,443
It's a long chance, but...
642
00:57:28,917 --> 00:57:31,763
You don't think you're going to
get away with this, do you?
643
00:57:32,276 --> 00:57:34,477
We're staying here till tomorrow.
644
00:57:42,766 --> 00:57:46,004
Stay away from that phone!
If it rings, let it keep ringing!
645
00:57:46,064 --> 00:57:48,953
Get rid of anybody who comes to
the door, I'll be right behind you
646
00:57:49,013 --> 00:57:50,845
in case you give the wrong answers.
647
00:57:55,517 --> 00:57:58,539
What about the girl's place?
-There and gone.
648
00:57:58,599 --> 00:58:02,705
Get a teletype out on her car immediately,
have it re-broadcast every half hour.
649
00:58:08,211 --> 00:58:10,661
I want roadblocks at all these points.
650
00:58:10,721 --> 00:58:12,705
I want the airport, the railroad station,
651
00:58:12,765 --> 00:58:15,536
all the bus terminals put
under a 24 surveillance.
652
00:58:15,596 --> 00:58:18,001
I want every hotel and
flophouse notified.
653
00:58:18,061 --> 00:58:20,818
They're in this town somewhere
and they're not getting out.
654
00:58:21,019 --> 00:58:22,354
One other thing...
655
00:58:22,414 --> 00:58:26,887
We picked up Riccardi's fingerprints on
that gun shop. He's got a gun now.
656
00:58:27,294 --> 00:58:29,421
Don't give him a chance to use it!
657
00:58:29,481 --> 00:58:31,284
All right, start moving.
658
00:58:31,344 --> 00:58:33,908
<i>The police tightened its dragnet
about the city today.</i>
659
00:58:33,968 --> 00:58:36,988
<i>Riccardi escaped just as the police
were ready to close in on him</i>
660
00:58:37,048 --> 00:58:39,197
<i>after they received an
anonymous phone call</i>
661
00:58:39,257 --> 00:58:42,292
<i>which led them to discover the murdered
body of one of their men today.</i>
662
00:58:42,352 --> 00:58:44,067
<i>Every available man...</i>
663
00:58:47,714 --> 00:58:49,958
We'll wait till it's dark
and get out of here.
664
00:58:50,018 --> 00:58:52,423
You couldn't arrange to
drop dead before then?
665
00:58:52,483 --> 00:58:55,606
Hazel, you've got to believe us.
Eddie didn't do it!
666
00:58:55,897 --> 00:58:57,936
He should still drop dead.
667
00:58:58,269 --> 00:58:59,604
Twice.
668
01:00:12,318 --> 01:00:13,477
Coke!
669
01:00:36,274 --> 01:00:38,401
Get me a couple of clean towels.
670
01:00:42,231 --> 01:00:43,771
It's pretty bad.
671
01:00:44,739 --> 01:00:49,052
I'll have you out of here in a minute,
we'll find a doctor. -Go to the police.
672
01:00:49,497 --> 01:00:51,448
Eddie, go to the police.
673
01:00:53,848 --> 01:00:55,961
Your car in the garage?
-Yes.
674
01:00:56,021 --> 01:00:58,704
Where are your keys?
-In my purse.
675
01:00:58,764 --> 01:01:00,288
Take care of her.
676
01:01:22,875 --> 01:01:23,843
Thanks.
677
01:01:23,903 --> 01:01:26,748
I'll have the doctor come right
in the moment he returns.
678
01:01:38,651 --> 01:01:40,602
Light me a cigarette.
679
01:02:02,498 --> 01:02:04,288
You're far away.
680
01:02:06,205 --> 01:02:07,614
How far?
681
01:02:09,418 --> 01:02:10,885
Five years.
682
01:02:11,545 --> 01:02:13,041
A lifetime.
683
01:02:14,259 --> 01:02:15,961
Beyond that, a blank.
684
01:02:17,162 --> 01:02:18,879
Me too, Eddie.
685
01:02:18,939 --> 01:02:21,270
Only, it's been a different
kind of a blank.
686
01:02:21,798 --> 01:02:24,453
It's being pushed back
to Eddie Riccardi.
687
01:02:24,937 --> 01:02:26,184
This.
688
01:02:26,811 --> 01:02:30,215
The whole past that keeps me
from being like other people.
689
01:02:30,992 --> 01:02:32,763
Now all that's left is
690
01:02:32,823 --> 01:02:36,460
wondering what it would be like if there
had only been an Eddie Rice.
691
01:02:38,540 --> 01:02:41,287
If I'd of just met you
for the first time.
692
01:02:43,087 --> 01:02:45,508
Eddie Rice can have that.
693
01:02:48,248 --> 01:02:50,610
Oh, you're...good, Eddie.
694
01:02:51,681 --> 01:02:53,368
You're good.
695
01:02:54,934 --> 01:02:57,622
You've taken away the hate in me.
696
01:02:58,176 --> 01:02:59,995
Destroyed it.
697
01:03:01,946 --> 01:03:03,912
You're...good, Eddie.
698
01:03:07,874 --> 01:03:10,573
When a baby wants to be born,
hours don't matter!
699
01:03:10,633 --> 01:03:12,554
7 poundsd 7ounces...a boy.
700
01:03:12,614 --> 01:03:14,549
Doctor, her shoulder...
701
01:03:29,779 --> 01:03:31,760
I can't treat gun wounds.
702
01:03:31,820 --> 01:03:34,679
She'll have to go to the police
emergency hospital.
703
01:03:34,739 --> 01:03:36,179
I don't think so.
704
01:03:36,239 --> 01:03:39,260
I'm sorry, but I've got to report
this to the police.
705
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:40,624
Doctor.
706
01:03:41,138 --> 01:03:43,191
That report to the police...
707
01:03:43,539 --> 01:03:44,918
It'll wait.
708
01:03:45,123 --> 01:03:47,368
If you want to pull that
trigger, go ahead.
709
01:03:49,535 --> 01:03:51,603
Police headquarters, please.
710
01:03:53,055 --> 01:03:56,092
Put that gun away! I said I was
going to call the police.
711
01:03:56,293 --> 01:03:57,775
Police headquarters?
712
01:03:57,980 --> 01:04:00,914
This is Dr Stacey, 93 Chestnut Street.
713
01:04:01,174 --> 01:04:03,492
Send an ambulance and a squad car.
714
01:04:09,003 --> 01:04:10,602
How bad is it?
715
01:04:14,534 --> 01:04:16,118
She'll be all right.
716
01:04:18,447 --> 01:04:20,262
You'd better leave.
717
01:04:27,035 --> 01:04:30,805
Eddie, I'm scared...I'm scared...
-Take it easy, you'll be all right.
718
01:04:30,865 --> 01:04:33,341
Not for me, for you.
-Listen...
719
01:04:33,531 --> 01:04:37,507
I'm leaving you for a little while.
I've got an idea, it might work.
720
01:04:37,567 --> 01:04:39,672
Something very important.
721
01:04:40,214 --> 01:04:44,395
You knew all about me. The people
I used to know, the places I went.
722
01:04:44,699 --> 01:04:46,855
Think for me, go back five years.
723
01:04:46,915 --> 01:04:51,110
Who was there? Just one person.
Give me the answers, quick!
724
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,289
What you say is my only chance,
the only chance I've got.
725
01:04:54,349 --> 01:04:58,231
The only one left is...Petey.
He can't be trusted with Vince.
726
01:04:58,291 --> 01:05:01,337
Where will I find him?
-Not him, he's... -Tell me!
727
01:05:01,759 --> 01:05:04,457
Two, three places on Main Street.
728
01:05:05,198 --> 01:05:07,034
Fourth and Main...
729
01:05:07,094 --> 01:05:10,091
And after Nina ran in front of him,
Coke never had a chance.
730
01:05:10,151 --> 01:05:11,748
That Eddie sure didn't miss.
731
01:05:11,808 --> 01:05:14,345
Coke took three, went right through
his breakfast, lunch and supper.
732
01:05:14,405 --> 01:05:16,575
Anybody come around, ask any questions?
733
01:05:16,635 --> 01:05:19,900
None I couldn't answer, Vince.
-Get back down and keep him company.
734
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,570
But...but, the police?
-That's exactly what I want!
735
01:05:22,630 --> 01:05:25,559
Tell him how Riccardi broke into your
apartment, found Coke there
736
01:05:25,619 --> 01:05:28,727
pulled his gun and fired. Now do
what I told you, just that!
737
01:05:29,035 --> 01:05:31,250
All right, Vince.
-Take her back!
738
01:05:35,048 --> 01:05:37,293
Eddie's got to find a doctor somewhere.
739
01:05:37,484 --> 01:05:39,581
And, if he does what I think, he'll...
740
01:05:39,772 --> 01:05:42,295
dump the girl...and start looking
for a hidewaway.
741
01:05:43,785 --> 01:05:44,973
Get going!
742
01:05:45,033 --> 01:05:48,039
Spread the news I got a personal
interest in Eddie Riccardi.
743
01:05:48,099 --> 01:05:50,870
I don't want anything to happen
to him...until I get there.
744
01:05:51,389 --> 01:05:53,443
Unless the cops get him first.
745
01:05:54,467 --> 01:05:57,841
You through with him, Doc?
-Yup. He was a fine specimen.
746
01:05:57,901 --> 01:06:00,041
Would have had a long life
if this hadn't happened.
747
01:06:00,101 --> 01:06:02,051
I'll send you my report in the morning.
748
01:06:05,694 --> 01:06:08,335
I'm sure you don't mind coming
downtown, Miss Downs?
749
01:06:08,395 --> 01:06:10,477
Well, I...
-I thought not.
750
01:06:12,659 --> 01:06:14,859
What'd you find?
-It was them all right.
751
01:06:14,919 --> 01:06:17,471
Riccardi left the doctor's office
about 30 minutes ago
752
01:06:17,531 --> 01:06:20,830
Notify Communications? -They're blanketing
the whole area. -The girl?
753
01:06:20,890 --> 01:06:25,608
County Jail Hospital. Still out, whether
she's playing it safe or just not talking.
754
01:06:25,668 --> 01:06:29,085
Keep Melon there, the minute she comes
out, I want to know. -Any ideas?
755
01:06:29,145 --> 01:06:31,970
Lots! We need Riccardi to
explain some of them.
756
01:06:32,157 --> 01:06:34,196
If he lives that long.
757
01:06:38,347 --> 01:06:41,120
Hello. I'm looking for Petey,
have you seen him?
758
01:06:42,691 --> 01:06:44,671
Do you know where to find him?
759
01:06:57,552 --> 01:07:00,780
<i>Nina said three or four places,
I must have hit twenty.</i>
760
01:07:01,245 --> 01:07:03,196
<i>And every answer the same.</i>
761
01:07:03,710 --> 01:07:04,810
<i>No.</i>
762
01:07:05,803 --> 01:07:08,605
<i>The shake of their head,
a frightened face.</i>
763
01:07:10,111 --> 01:07:14,043
<i>They knew where I could find what I was
looking for, but they wouldn't talk.</i>
764
01:07:14,483 --> 01:07:16,141
<i>They were scared.</i>
765
01:08:08,257 --> 01:08:11,660
But, Vince! Appreciate the fact
that at least I called you.
766
01:08:11,961 --> 01:08:14,015
I let him stay, it's another rap.
767
01:08:14,075 --> 01:08:17,623
Another rap, I get life! You've
got to appreciate that!
768
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,296
And I'd appreciate it if you'd
tell me where to find Petey.
769
01:08:24,044 --> 01:08:25,306
Right now!
770
01:08:25,366 --> 01:08:26,758
Sure, Eddie.
771
01:08:27,096 --> 01:08:28,152
Sure.
772
01:08:34,841 --> 01:08:36,822
Ocean Boulevard and 25th.
773
01:09:43,996 --> 01:09:46,490
Who's there? Who is it?
-Eddie.
774
01:09:47,355 --> 01:09:48,910
Eddie Riccardi.
775
01:09:49,277 --> 01:09:52,886
Oh, Eddie boy. Every cop in the
city is out gunning for you!
776
01:09:53,350 --> 01:09:55,403
Maybe you don't care if you live...
777
01:09:55,711 --> 01:09:57,604
I got a few more years left!
778
01:09:57,839 --> 01:09:59,526
Open the door, Petey.
779
01:10:00,083 --> 01:10:01,799
You're dead if you don't.
780
01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:04,769
All right, Eddie.
781
01:10:12,804 --> 01:10:15,914
You didn't think I'd leave you out
there in the cold, did you Eddie?
782
01:10:16,545 --> 01:10:20,550
Five years, no see! But, you sure got
a hot fire burning under you, huh?
783
01:10:21,019 --> 01:10:22,105
Yeah.
784
01:10:24,891 --> 01:10:26,900
You need a pal, a friend.
785
01:10:30,025 --> 01:10:32,240
Sure, I need a friend, Petey.
786
01:10:32,483 --> 01:10:36,263
Look, old friend... Will you...will
you put that mouthpiece away?
787
01:10:36,323 --> 01:10:39,153
Somehow I...I still believe they go off!
788
01:10:39,926 --> 01:10:42,669
And, Samson my cat, you remember my cat?
789
01:10:44,180 --> 01:10:46,439
He's not feeling too good again.
790
01:10:46,949 --> 01:10:49,545
You stay careful and
nothing will happen.
791
01:10:49,605 --> 01:10:53,110
Oh sure. Sure, Eddie. You're
talking to Petey, remember?
792
01:10:53,340 --> 01:10:55,746
Any objections to my moving in with you?
793
01:10:56,025 --> 01:10:58,416
I'll be gone, tomorrow or the next day.
794
01:10:58,476 --> 01:11:01,771
Oh, me? Turn away practically,
my own flesh and blood?
795
01:11:03,341 --> 01:11:04,822
Relax, Eddie.
796
01:11:08,491 --> 01:11:11,308
There you are, Eddie. Nothing's
too good for you.
797
01:11:12,355 --> 01:11:16,154
How about some food, Petey?
I haven't eaten all night.
798
01:11:16,536 --> 01:11:18,370
You haven't changed a bit.
799
01:11:18,590 --> 01:11:20,086
Always hungry!
800
01:11:20,146 --> 01:11:22,022
Still tied up with Vince?
801
01:11:24,002 --> 01:11:27,670
I do a little private eyeing on the side.
A job here, a job there.
802
01:11:28,007 --> 01:11:29,284
Nothing big.
803
01:11:31,150 --> 01:11:32,705
I'll telephone.
804
01:11:43,749 --> 01:11:47,358
Hello, friend? Petey! I got
a special customer.
805
01:11:47,828 --> 01:11:49,852
Yeah. Yeah, an old one.
806
01:11:50,881 --> 01:11:54,094
How about sending something over?
He's tired and hungry.
807
01:11:54,813 --> 01:11:56,778
A pot of coffee and a sandwich.
808
01:11:56,969 --> 01:11:58,011
Turkey.
809
01:11:58,266 --> 01:11:59,352
Tongue
810
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:01,684
Egg salad combination.
811
01:12:02,638 --> 01:12:04,442
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
812
01:12:05,543 --> 01:12:06,863
You got it.
813
01:12:12,752 --> 01:12:16,068
You see, Eddie? Everything's
just like old times.
814
01:12:16,655 --> 01:12:18,474
If you say so, Petey.
815
01:12:20,114 --> 01:12:21,948
I'm gettin' kinda sleepy.
816
01:12:22,271 --> 01:12:25,308
You just make yourself at home,
food will be along pretty soon.
817
01:12:25,368 --> 01:12:28,183
Vince has gotten to be a big
man the last five years.
818
01:12:28,675 --> 01:12:31,168
I'm really gettin' pretty tired, friend.
819
01:12:31,228 --> 01:12:33,457
Why don't you bring me
up to date, Petey?
820
01:12:33,517 --> 01:12:35,247
I'm really awful tired, friend!
821
01:12:35,307 --> 01:12:37,501
How long will it take Vince to get here?
822
01:12:37,971 --> 01:12:40,861
Eddie...Eddie, you...you embarrass me.
823
01:12:41,135 --> 01:12:43,834
I'll kill you if you don't give
it to me straight, Petey!
824
01:12:43,894 --> 01:12:47,047
Eddie...Eddie, don't talk like that.
Samson's sick!
825
01:12:47,543 --> 01:12:50,403
I'm telling you, Eddie!
-What are you telling me? How long?
826
01:12:50,463 --> 01:12:53,557
Five minutes? Ten? Fifteen minutes?
Twenty minutes?
827
01:12:54,096 --> 01:12:57,015
About...about fifteen minutes, Eddie.
828
01:12:57,323 --> 01:13:00,902
Vince puts you on the spot!
He's that way with all the boys!
829
01:13:01,162 --> 01:13:04,781
Blow Eddie! Take me with you.
You and me was always friends!
830
01:13:04,841 --> 01:13:08,273
You just stay in front of me and keep your
mouth shut and you won't get into trouble.
831
01:13:08,333 --> 01:13:11,265
Sure, Eddie! You got nothing
to worry about from me.
832
01:13:11,325 --> 01:13:14,361
Just stay my friend, Petey.
-Yeah, Eddie.
833
01:13:27,837 --> 01:13:29,935
You're retired, you can go home now.
834
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:32,601
Your friend want a ride?
-Not tonight.
835
01:13:34,995 --> 01:13:36,151
$2.80
836
01:13:36,711 --> 01:13:39,616
This will get you a thousand.
Come on, Petey.
837
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,005
Take care of Petey.
838
01:15:45,187 --> 01:15:46,434
Eddie!
839
01:15:46,625 --> 01:15:48,165
Let's get out of here!
840
01:15:49,661 --> 01:15:51,158
Go ahead, Petey.
841
01:15:51,610 --> 01:15:52,974
Thanks, Eddie.
842
01:15:54,148 --> 01:15:55,615
They're coming!
843
01:18:02,988 --> 01:18:04,191
Eddie.
844
01:18:04,792 --> 01:18:06,274
Can you hear me?
845
01:18:09,079 --> 01:18:10,898
We can make a break.
846
01:18:11,558 --> 01:18:13,319
Cover for each other.
847
01:18:14,096 --> 01:18:15,739
I got a place.
848
01:18:17,148 --> 01:18:18,820
You and me, Eddie.
849
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,342
We'll start up again.
850
01:18:22,914 --> 01:18:25,056
Just like old times.
851
01:18:30,072 --> 01:18:31,671
I got money, Eddie.
852
01:18:32,992 --> 01:18:34,327
Big money!
853
01:18:37,521 --> 01:18:39,355
Samson! Samson!
854
01:18:39,986 --> 01:18:41,159
Samson!
855
01:18:43,096 --> 01:18:44,841
Petey! Come back!
856
01:18:46,807 --> 01:18:47,908
Samson.
857
01:18:48,318 --> 01:18:50,446
Samson, baby. Samson.
858
01:19:47,773 --> 01:19:50,091
Riccardi! Alexander!
859
01:19:50,292 --> 01:19:53,813
We'll give you three minutes to come out.
We're gonna start counting.
860
01:19:54,135 --> 01:19:57,920
At the end of three minutes if you're
not out, we're coming to get you!
861
01:19:58,429 --> 01:20:00,600
This is your last chance, Eddie.
862
01:20:01,862 --> 01:20:04,121
There's just you and me left now.
863
01:20:04,181 --> 01:20:05,676
No deal, Vince.
864
01:20:06,455 --> 01:20:08,538
I know you killed Joe Williams.
865
01:20:08,978 --> 01:20:10,357
Okay...
866
01:20:11,516 --> 01:20:13,071
No deals.
867
01:21:51,795 --> 01:21:54,993
We want you, Riccardi..
Alive, Alexander!
868
01:21:55,595 --> 01:21:58,646
If you're in there and not wounded,
bring Riccardi out.
869
01:21:59,653 --> 01:22:03,761
You, Riccardi! If you're alone, come
out with your hands in the air!
870
01:22:06,712 --> 01:22:09,176
Here's when you and I part company.
871
01:22:09,396 --> 01:22:12,081
You're gonna get paid off in full.
872
01:22:41,345 --> 01:22:43,574
Thanks for bringing him out, Vince.
873
01:22:43,853 --> 01:22:47,169
Now, drop your gun.
I said drop your gun, Vince!
874
01:22:49,233 --> 01:22:51,932
Eddie will take what I
got first, Anderson!
875
01:22:54,015 --> 01:22:56,568
All police officers hold your fire!
876
01:22:57,552 --> 01:22:59,532
Don't be crazy, Alexander.
877
01:22:59,899 --> 01:23:02,774
There have been enough people killed.
Give yourself up.
878
01:23:02,834 --> 01:23:04,491
No bargains, Anderson!
879
01:23:04,551 --> 01:23:06,487
You want Riccardi alive...
880
01:23:06,547 --> 01:23:07,866
I want out!
881
01:23:07,926 --> 01:23:10,682
What guarantee have I got that
you won't kill Riccardi?
882
01:23:10,742 --> 01:23:13,250
You don't!
-Be sensible, Alexander.
883
01:23:13,979 --> 01:23:16,854
If we let you out now,
we'll get you later.
884
01:23:17,089 --> 01:23:19,040
You'll be dead before morning.
885
01:23:19,245 --> 01:23:21,930
You got 30 seconds to make
up your mind, Anderson!
886
01:23:22,688 --> 01:23:24,053
I go...
887
01:23:24,361 --> 01:23:26,415
or Riccardi gets it in the back!
888
01:23:29,595 --> 01:23:31,388
Sat down, Eddie! Don't move!
889
01:24:05,464 --> 01:24:06,711
Is he dead?
890
01:24:06,771 --> 01:24:09,234
He will be if we don't get
him to a hospital.
891
01:24:15,716 --> 01:24:19,090
That taxi driver must have really
gotten to you in a hurry.
892
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,980
He did, asking for a $1000 reward.
893
01:24:22,337 --> 01:24:26,826
And all the questions you want to ask...
I called Dr Kemble from San Francisco.
894
01:24:27,149 --> 01:24:31,242
We knew Vince killed Jow Williams,
we found his blood on Joe's clothing.
895
01:24:31,604 --> 01:24:34,435
It matched up with our
lab files, yours didn't.
896
01:24:34,740 --> 01:24:37,351
And, Hazel told us the truth about Coke.
897
01:24:37,747 --> 01:24:41,254
Now, just get well. We'll finish
our business later.
898
01:24:42,217 --> 01:24:43,391
Nina...
899
01:24:43,451 --> 01:24:45,782
She's fine...in the waiting room.
900
01:25:05,063 --> 01:25:08,173
You shouldn't kiss a guy like
that when he's sick in bed.
901
01:25:10,205 --> 01:25:14,254
Well, I've been waiting outside all the
time. They wouldn't tell me anything.
902
01:25:14,314 --> 01:25:15,970
I was afraid...
903
01:25:17,151 --> 01:25:18,647
It's all right.
904
01:25:19,674 --> 01:25:21,170
We'll go away.
905
01:25:21,230 --> 01:25:24,222
We'll find that...crazy world of yours.
906
01:25:25,698 --> 01:25:27,151
Sure.
907
01:25:30,408 --> 01:25:32,373
There's only one thing...
908
01:25:33,675 --> 01:25:35,494
You'll always be...
909
01:25:35,758 --> 01:25:37,298
Eddie Rice.
910
01:25:38,853 --> 01:25:40,540
For the rest of my life.
911
01:25:40,990 --> 01:25:43,059
I have the doc's word for him.
912
01:25:44,673 --> 01:25:46,110
Come here.

After sustaining a head wound in combat, decorated World War II veteran Eddie Rice (John Payne) is treated at a San Francisco military hospital for a permanent form of amnesia. This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.
Rice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely.

This is the Letterman General Hosiptal

00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219
For those outside these gates the
war is over, a thing of the past.
3
00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888
For those behind these gates there's a
grim, hard, bitter fight still going on.
4
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518
Take one case, the case
of Eddie Rice, age 33.

00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206
Enlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.
Holder of the Silver Star, but today...

00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026
A name and date number, a medical file.
For five years a chart on a hospital bed.
7
00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340
A victim of amnesia.
A mind with a blocked out past.
8
00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127
Where were you born, Eddie?
Who are your parents?
9
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912
Any brothers? Sisters?
10
00:01:54,277 --> 00:01:58,775
Where did you go to school?
What's your trade? Profession?
11
00:01:59,433 --> 00:02:01,748
Are you rich?
Poor?
12
00:02:02,051 --> 00:02:03,689
Got a girl?
13
00:02:03,915 --> 00:02:05,289
Married?

I don't know.

00:02:07,378 --> 00:02:09,015
I don't know!
16
00:02:09,824 --> 00:02:11,537
I can't remember.
17
00:02:12,444 --> 00:02:14,571
I just can't remember, doctor.
18
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:30,922
You had me open. What did you quit for?
-We did the best we could, Eddie.
19
00:02:31,218 --> 00:02:33,439
It'll just have to stay there.
20
00:02:34,606 --> 00:02:38,483
Is that final?
-Unless you want your name on a headstone.
21
00:02:38,543 --> 00:02:43,592
That shrapnel's too deep in your brain.
Scar tissue has grown all around it.
22
00:02:43,652 --> 00:02:46,980
Believe me, we tried.
-Yeah, I guess you did.
23
00:02:48,391 --> 00:02:52,551
Where do I go from here?
-Eddie, there are two kinds of amnesia:
24
00:02:52,611 --> 00:02:54,895
psychological and organic.
25
00:02:55,178 --> 00:03:00,240
The psychological form is temporary, but
it can be cured through psychotherapy.
26
00:03:01,016 --> 00:03:03,876
Yours is organic, it's permanent.
27
00:03:04,347 --> 00:03:07,772
That piece of steel in your brain
has blocked out your memory.
28
00:03:07,832 --> 00:03:10,863
Which doesn't leave me much
of a future, does it?
29
00:03:10,923 --> 00:03:15,071
Of course it does, physically
you're normal and healthy.
30
00:03:15,131 --> 00:03:17,771
You've received the maximum
medical benefits
31
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:22,559
You've completed training courses that make
you fit to hold down a job and face life.
32
00:03:23,499 --> 00:03:26,540
With no address, no next
of kin, nothing.
33
00:03:27,489 --> 00:03:29,567
Enlisted from Los Angeles...
34
00:03:29,627 --> 00:03:32,397
Intelligence ran that down
for us, remember?
35
00:03:32,867 --> 00:03:35,818
Oh sure, there were a lot of
people named Rice there...
36
00:03:36,026 --> 00:03:37,682
but not this Eddie Rice.
37
00:03:37,742 --> 00:03:41,777
But, Army Intelligence didn't mow
Los Angeles lawns as a kid, Eddie.
38
00:03:41,837 --> 00:03:44,292
They didn't trade at the corner market.
39
00:03:44,352 --> 00:03:48,775
They didn't work with people in a factory,
in an office, as you might have done.
40
00:03:48,986 --> 00:03:50,136
Now...
41
00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:54,081
If you went down there...and ran
into somebody who knew you,
42
00:03:54,141 --> 00:03:55,918
just one person...
43
00:03:56,384 --> 00:03:57,694
Yes...
44
00:03:58,992 --> 00:04:01,702
If I ran into just one person
who knew me.
45
00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:03,689
One guy...
46
00:04:04,785 --> 00:04:07,149
Who would come up to me and say:
47
00:04:07,616 --> 00:04:08,775
"Eddie."
48
00:04:08,986 --> 00:04:10,491
"Eddie Rice."
49
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:12,253
"How have you been?"
50
00:04:12,581 --> 00:04:14,132
"Where have you been?"
51
00:04:14,192 --> 00:04:15,577
That's it, Eddie.
52
00:04:15,637 --> 00:04:18,766
And then, they'd tell me about
someone else I used to know.
53
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:21,626
And, I'd meet somebody else.
54
00:04:22,635 --> 00:04:24,141
And another...
55
00:04:25,342 --> 00:04:26,908
And another...
56
00:04:57,774 --> 00:05:00,996
<i>Sure, it scares you to go out into
a world you don't remember...</i>
57
00:05:01,484 --> 00:05:02,959
<i>but you're here now.</i>
58
00:05:03,742 --> 00:05:05,473
<i>It'll be a new life.</i>
59
00:05:05,805 --> 00:05:07,295
<i>A new start.</i>
60
00:05:08,231 --> 00:05:10,189
<i>Find yourself a place to live.</i>
61
00:05:10,957 --> 00:05:12,613
<i>Get yourself a job.</i>
62
00:05:13,290 --> 00:05:14,540
<i>Get going.</i>
63
00:05:15,353 --> 00:05:16,919
<i>Get going, Eddie!</i>
64
00:05:19,198 --> 00:05:20,357
Eddie!
65
00:05:20,417 --> 00:05:22,736
You know, it's a small world, Eddie.
66
00:05:22,796 --> 00:05:25,266
We came down here to pick
up a little of one thing,
67
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:28,650
and we ran into a little of another!
-A lot of us thought you were dead.
68
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:32,851
Yes, and...those that didn't hoped you
were. What are you doing in town?
69
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,642
I'm just in from San Francisco.
70
00:05:36,702 --> 00:05:40,060
I didn't ask you that.
-He asked you what you were doing in town.
71
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,354
I cam here to look up some...people.
72
00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:45,989
Funny, I...I had a feeling that was it.
73
00:05:46,049 --> 00:05:48,443
Anderson one of them?
-Anderson?
74
00:05:49,719 --> 00:05:50,698
Maybe.
75
00:05:50,758 --> 00:05:54,251
I think you're lying, Eddie. I don't think you
were gonna look up Anderson at all.
76
00:05:54,311 --> 00:05:57,458
Barrett, do you think he was gonna
look up Anderson? -No, Joe.
77
00:05:57,699 --> 00:06:00,108
Not Anderson.
-I'll tell you what...
78
00:06:00,168 --> 00:06:02,737
I got a car and nothing
to do for a while...
79
00:06:02,797 --> 00:06:05,478
Let's go see Anderson together.
Any objections?
80
00:06:07,616 --> 00:06:09,016
No objections.
81
00:06:09,076 --> 00:06:11,256
Stick around, Kelly may still show.
82
00:06:11,452 --> 00:06:12,506
Let's go.
83
00:06:35,122 --> 00:06:37,667
'Honorable discharge of Edward Rice.'
84
00:06:41,972 --> 00:06:43,568
What's the gimmick?
85
00:06:44,110 --> 00:06:46,399
If you'd put away your blackjacks
long enough
86
00:06:46,459 --> 00:06:48,431
maybe I could get it through
your heads that...
87
00:06:48,491 --> 00:06:50,714
I don't know what you're talking about.
88
00:06:50,774 --> 00:06:52,912
You got yourself a sense
of humor, Eddie.
89
00:06:52,972 --> 00:06:56,010
You think you come back here with
a dumb look and a Silver Star...
90
00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:58,958
That changes a no good heel?
-But, I'm trying to tell you that...
91
00:06:59,018 --> 00:07:01,382
You don't have to tell us
anything about yourself.
92
00:07:01,442 --> 00:07:03,881
We got it all down in black and white.
93
00:07:06,019 --> 00:07:07,630
Read it, Riccardi.
94
00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:09,313
We didn't dream it up.
95
00:07:09,795 --> 00:07:12,355
Possession of a weapon
with intent to kill.
96
00:07:12,882 --> 00:07:14,553
Suspicion of murder.
97
00:07:17,184 --> 00:07:18,566
<i>Riccardi...</i>
98
00:07:19,274 --> 00:07:20,960
<i>Eddie Riccardi.</i>
99
00:07:21,638 --> 00:07:25,236
<i>That's not me, it can't be.
It only looks like me!</i>
100
00:07:26,348 --> 00:07:29,103
<i>I better get out of here!
I've got to get out!</i>
101
00:07:29,163 --> 00:07:33,093
Five years ago we hustled you out of town,
for good. Now what are you here for?
102
00:07:34,253 --> 00:07:35,939
<i>You've got to play ball.</i>
103
00:07:35,999 --> 00:07:39,153
<i>You need time. You need more
time to find out about yourself.</i>
104
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,894
Riccardi's just playing dumb, Captain.
105
00:07:42,556 --> 00:07:44,122
Put him in the lockup.
106
00:07:44,498 --> 00:07:47,085
I'm finding about these...
discharge papers.
107
00:07:47,145 --> 00:07:49,358
If they're phonies, we'll pin a
real one on him.
108
00:07:49,418 --> 00:07:50,999
Just a minute, Lieutenant.
109
00:07:52,426 --> 00:07:56,627
I guess, maybe I didn't want the army
to know about Eddie...Riccardi.
110
00:07:57,317 --> 00:08:00,133
The only friends I have
know me as Eddie Rice.
111
00:08:00,916 --> 00:08:02,813
I'd like to keep it that way.
112
00:08:03,219 --> 00:08:05,945
That's probably the first honest
thing you've ever said.
113
00:08:06,005 --> 00:08:07,537
Pick up your things.
114
00:08:10,967 --> 00:08:14,008
Be Eddie Rice in some other
town, but not here.
115
00:08:14,068 --> 00:08:18,540
Now, we can't hold you, but...you step
out of line once and we step on you.
116
00:08:26,034 --> 00:08:28,278
Notice anything different
about him, Williams?
117
00:08:28,338 --> 00:08:31,138
Nothing! If Riccardi stays in town
there's gonna be trouble.
118
00:08:31,198 --> 00:08:34,210
I don't know. He had a strange
look about him.
119
00:08:34,667 --> 00:08:37,934
Send to Washington for a complete
report on Edward Rice.
120
00:08:37,994 --> 00:08:40,870
That Silver Star, you really
do something to get one.
121
00:08:40,930 --> 00:08:43,686
Yeah, buy it in a pawn
shop for two bits.
122
00:09:01,270 --> 00:09:04,944
Nina, my sweet!
My beautiful, lovely...
123
00:09:05,004 --> 00:09:07,609
All right, Nick! Let's keep
it all business.
124
00:09:10,063 --> 00:09:13,240
Who is it this time?
-Petey. Suspicion of robbery.
125
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:16,251
Get him out before they start
shifting him around. -Petey?
126
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:17,588
Him?
127
00:09:17,648 --> 00:09:19,726
He wouldn't steal his own shadow.
128
00:09:19,786 --> 00:09:22,056
That was William's gag to get
him out of the way.
129
00:09:22,116 --> 00:09:25,670
I wouldn't know. Bail's $1000.
-Inflation!
130
00:09:25,730 --> 00:09:27,823
That's the whole trouble these days.
131
00:09:28,847 --> 00:09:30,714
Alexander, he unhappy?
132
00:09:31,252 --> 00:09:34,188
Nick. Keep your mind on your business.
133
00:09:34,248 --> 00:09:36,233
Let Vince worry about his, huh?
134
00:09:36,293 --> 00:09:39,259
Sure, beautiful Sure.
Forget I mentioned it.
135
00:09:53,907 --> 00:09:55,970
Take my advice, you leave town.
136
00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:57,837
I've got things to do.
137
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,125
Adios, boy! You're on your own.
138
00:10:04,466 --> 00:10:05,941
Kelly never showed.
139
00:10:06,001 --> 00:10:07,071
Odd.
140
00:10:07,131 --> 00:10:08,606
We'll hear from him.
141
00:10:18,132 --> 00:10:20,074
One of the usual fronts?
142
00:10:21,098 --> 00:10:24,064
You have a lot of Jane Does, Nick.
Use one of them.
143
00:10:26,732 --> 00:10:28,328
Of course, there's a big difference
144
00:10:28,388 --> 00:10:30,617
between the Florida oranges
and the California oranges.
145
00:10:30,677 --> 00:10:33,131
At least that's what the Chamber
of Commerce in Florida says.
146
00:10:33,191 --> 00:10:35,661
And the Chamber of Commerce
in California says...
147
00:10:35,872 --> 00:10:37,874
Orange juice, please.
-Yes, ma'am.
148
00:10:41,153 --> 00:10:42,388
Eddie.
149
00:10:44,691 --> 00:10:47,281
I thought it was you from
across the street.
150
00:10:48,856 --> 00:10:49,940
Hello.
151
00:10:51,204 --> 00:10:53,794
Is that the only thing
you've got to say?
152
00:10:54,110 --> 00:10:56,640
Well, there's a lot more
I could say, but...
153
00:10:57,107 --> 00:10:58,311
but you...
154
00:10:59,299 --> 00:11:00,609
Let's see...
155
00:11:01,814 --> 00:11:03,425
Nacy Morgan?
156
00:11:03,711 --> 00:11:05,051
Nora Murphy?
157
00:11:05,292 --> 00:11:09,176
No, you don't look like Nora Murphy.
-What'd you come back for, Eddie?
158
00:11:10,216 --> 00:11:12,610
A man has a right to come
home, hasn't he?
159
00:11:14,552 --> 00:11:17,699
My car is across the street,
I'll take you there.
160
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:18,994
Sure!
161
00:11:19,175 --> 00:11:20,228
Thanks.
162
00:11:45,318 --> 00:11:47,089
Vince know you're back?
163
00:11:47,149 --> 00:11:48,360
Vince?
164
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,025
Should he?
165
00:11:51,762 --> 00:11:53,419
You oughta know.
166
00:12:02,797 --> 00:12:04,499
Thanks for the lift.
167
00:12:07,503 --> 00:12:08,828
Coming in?
168
00:12:09,264 --> 00:12:11,447
Who said this was the end of the road?
169
00:12:12,833 --> 00:12:15,091
Who's complaining? Not me.
170
00:12:40,205 --> 00:12:41,530
Checking in?
171
00:12:41,771 --> 00:12:42,870
Long?
172
00:12:44,466 --> 00:12:45,896
I don't know yet.
173
00:12:46,739 --> 00:12:48,019
Alone?
174
00:12:48,648 --> 00:12:49,672
Yes.
175
00:12:52,517 --> 00:12:55,393
Edward Rice...San Francisco.
176
00:12:58,702 --> 00:13:00,042
304.
177
00:13:03,234 --> 00:13:06,757
I'll throw the stuff in the room and
be right back. -If you say so.
178
00:13:29,744 --> 00:13:32,665
Hello? hello, this is Nina.
I want to talk to Vince.
179
00:13:32,725 --> 00:13:33,885
He's busy.
180
00:13:33,945 --> 00:13:36,203
Not too busy for what
I've got to tell him.
181
00:13:36,263 --> 00:13:37,479
<i>He's not here.</i>
182
00:13:37,539 --> 00:13:41,379
Look, let's not keep where he is a
secret it might upset your whole future.
183
00:13:41,439 --> 00:13:42,945
Put me through to him!
184
00:13:55,033 --> 00:13:56,719
You talk too much.
185
00:13:57,397 --> 00:13:59,189
Another treatment, Kelly?
186
00:14:00,453 --> 00:14:01,603
Any...
187
00:14:02,265 --> 00:14:04,750
Any second...breaks, Vince?
188
00:14:06,993 --> 00:14:09,176
I'm easy to do business with.
189
00:14:10,165 --> 00:14:11,520
If you talk...
190
00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:12,830
you live.
191
00:14:14,034 --> 00:14:16,865
All i want to hear is your
angle with Joe Williams.
192
00:14:19,271 --> 00:14:22,463
Give him a cigarette, Danny.
It'll relax him.
193
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:30,609
I'm...trusting you, Vince.
194
00:14:30,834 --> 00:14:32,792
Sure. Sure, Kelly.
195
00:14:33,474 --> 00:14:35,612
I told you we'd turn you loose.
196
00:14:35,672 --> 00:14:37,388
You understand how I...
197
00:14:37,569 --> 00:14:40,942
How a guy feels when he's been
kicked out of the organization?
198
00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:43,633
I know...
199
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:47,533
I shouldn't of been a sucker and
told Williams about the...
200
00:14:48,253 --> 00:14:50,828
...about the silver dollar.
-Forget that.
201
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,915
What did you tell him about this?
-Nothing!
202
00:14:56,455 --> 00:14:58,201
Nothing much, really.
203
00:14:59,044 --> 00:15:01,755
Vince!
-What did you tell him, Kelly?
204
00:15:01,815 --> 00:15:03,185
Really, Vince...
205
00:15:03,381 --> 00:15:04,931
Nothing important.
206
00:15:05,688 --> 00:15:06,757
Just...
207
00:15:07,178 --> 00:15:08,970
a little of this and...
208
00:15:09,527 --> 00:15:11,304
that about the...
209
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,532
about the slot machines and...
210
00:15:14,315 --> 00:15:16,333
and the take. But, I...
211
00:15:16,787 --> 00:15:18,564
I phonied the figures.
212
00:15:19,403 --> 00:15:22,550
Honest I did.
-These figures aren't phoney.
213
00:15:22,836 --> 00:15:24,447
Where'd you get 'em?
214
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,684
Snatched them out of your safe, Vince.
215
00:15:31,219 --> 00:15:33,192
Williams is waiting for 'em.
216
00:15:33,535 --> 00:15:37,359
He was going to bundle me out of town,
bring me back for the trial.
217
00:15:38,696 --> 00:15:42,083
But, I was gonna duck.
They never would of found me.
218
00:15:44,568 --> 00:15:46,480
That's the truth, Vince!
219
00:15:54,771 --> 00:15:56,021
Hello.
220
00:15:56,788 --> 00:15:58,264
Hello, Nina.
221
00:16:02,956 --> 00:16:05,242
You sure it's him?
-I was with him!
222
00:16:05,302 --> 00:16:08,524
First I saw him outside police
headquarters talking to Joe Williams,
223
00:16:08,584 --> 00:16:10,466
then I drove him to the Cortez.
224
00:16:10,689 --> 00:16:14,362
He cked in under the name
of Eddie Rice, room 304.
225
00:16:14,422 --> 00:16:15,552
Thanks.
226
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:37,164
You still want to take that trip, Kelly?
227
00:16:39,317 --> 00:16:41,560
You don't have to worry about me, Vince.
228
00:16:42,019 --> 00:16:43,028
Don.
229
00:16:44,194 --> 00:16:45,820
Big mouth Kelly.
230
00:16:46,257 --> 00:16:48,832
You think what he's got
may be contagious?
231
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:50,563
Very...catchy.
232
00:16:51,562 --> 00:16:54,648
What's your opinion, Don?
-Very, definitely.
233
00:16:56,621 --> 00:16:58,283
What can I do?
234
00:16:59,322 --> 00:17:01,686
The consultation's in agreement.
235
00:17:04,595 --> 00:17:05,769
Kelly!
236
00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:07,380
You're dead!
237
00:17:09,097 --> 00:17:10,527
Oh, and Kelly...
238
00:17:10,774 --> 00:17:14,749
When you get to where you're going,
have 'em give you a nice, even burn.
239
00:17:14,809 --> 00:17:17,579
Don't let them just fry you on one side.
240
00:18:01,054 --> 00:18:05,210
I'm sorry to bother you again, but..
has there been any sign of the girl yet?
241
00:18:07,876 --> 00:18:09,051
Thanks.
242
00:18:40,394 --> 00:18:42,743
Don't you believe in knocking on doors?
243
00:18:43,857 --> 00:18:45,814
Who are you? What do you want?
244
00:19:00,538 --> 00:19:02,661
So, that's where you've been hold up...
245
00:19:02,932 --> 00:19:04,498
Eddie Rice!
246
00:19:05,181 --> 00:19:08,990
No wonder I couldn't get a line on you.
Are you back sightseeing?
247
00:19:09,378 --> 00:19:10,854
Mr Rice?
248
00:19:13,052 --> 00:19:15,326
This supposed to be a free country?
249
00:19:15,684 --> 00:19:17,250
Free town?
250
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:18,951
Open to anyone?
251
00:19:19,011 --> 00:19:20,366
Not with me in it.
252
00:19:20,635 --> 00:19:23,240
You didn't waste much time
picking up with the cops.
253
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:27,395
Why should it worry you about
me talking to Williams?
254
00:19:27,455 --> 00:19:29,274
You've got me confused, Eddie.
255
00:19:29,771 --> 00:19:33,460
Only a sucker would walk back in
town after the deal you pulled.
256
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,979
Some things a fella has to...
257
00:19:37,401 --> 00:19:39,102
find out for himself.
258
00:19:40,096 --> 00:19:41,948
Not about you and me.
259
00:19:50,768 --> 00:19:53,283
I've been saving this for five years.
260
00:19:54,021 --> 00:19:57,378
Everyone in life has his bible,
this is mine.
261
00:19:58,978 --> 00:20:03,661
I take it out and read it every day. I read
it to remind me of a guy I grew up with.
262
00:20:03,917 --> 00:20:05,648
Got shoved around with.
263
00:20:06,277 --> 00:20:08,566
We used to take a lot of raps together.
264
00:20:09,439 --> 00:20:13,143
Some people would call a guy
like that a...a loyal friend.
265
00:20:13,968 --> 00:20:15,353
He was.
266
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:22,050
Until he turned into a dirty stool pigeon,
and let me take the rap for him!
267
00:20:38,866 --> 00:20:40,070
Eddie...
268
00:20:41,380 --> 00:20:42,811
Riccardi?
269
00:20:43,025 --> 00:20:47,105
My good friend who sold me out
to a cop named Joe Williams!
270
00:20:58,268 --> 00:21:00,541
Don't mess up his face too much.
271
00:21:03,876 --> 00:21:05,909
I ought to kill you, Eddie.
272
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:08,709
But, you're not worth taking
another rap for!
273
00:21:08,769 --> 00:21:11,058
In 24 hours...disappear!
274
00:21:11,935 --> 00:21:15,006
Otherwise, I might be tempted
to change my mind!
275
00:21:15,624 --> 00:21:17,205
Give him some air!
276
00:22:11,865 --> 00:22:14,153
<i>Why didn't the girl come back?</i>
277
00:22:15,523 --> 00:22:17,812
<i>What did she know about me?</i>
278
00:22:18,730 --> 00:22:20,808
<i>Why did she bring me here?</i>
279
00:22:21,847 --> 00:22:23,111
<i>Vince...</i>
280
00:22:24,060 --> 00:22:26,123
<i>Why didn't Vince kill me?</i>
281
00:22:27,402 --> 00:22:29,450
<i>Maybe I deserved it.</i>
282
00:22:30,625 --> 00:22:33,140
<i>Maybe Dr Kemble ought to know?</i>
283
00:22:34,224 --> 00:22:36,051
<i>I better tell him.</i>
284
00:22:37,226 --> 00:22:39,033
<i>I better call him.</i>
285
00:22:40,328 --> 00:22:41,908
<i>I better...</i>
286
00:22:44,659 --> 00:22:45,879
Hello.
287
00:22:46,391 --> 00:22:50,456
I want to put through a call, person
to person. Dr Kemble...
288
00:22:50,652 --> 00:22:53,392
Letterman Genral Hospital,
San Francisco.
289
00:22:54,435 --> 00:22:56,091
K-E-M-B-L-E
290
00:22:57,411 --> 00:22:58,736
Thank you.
291
00:23:14,170 --> 00:23:15,961
Hello, Dr Kemble?
292
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,812
When do you expect him back?
293
00:23:19,219 --> 00:23:20,920
Not till tomorrow?
294
00:23:22,121 --> 00:23:24,500
Never mind, I'll see him personally.
295
00:24:15,503 --> 00:24:18,780
Forget about Union Station.
Take me to 7 Braxton Avenue.
296
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:30,476
Wait for me.
297
00:24:51,762 --> 00:24:53,961
Thanks a lot Lou, for driving me home.
298
00:24:54,021 --> 00:24:57,393
Just a minute, darling.
I'll walk to the door with you.
299
00:24:58,990 --> 00:25:02,378
It's early, Nina. A little drink for
a nightcap won't hurt you.
300
00:25:02,589 --> 00:25:04,456
That's what you think.
301
00:25:04,516 --> 00:25:07,825
You could make me forget that
thousand I dropped tonight, Nina.
302
00:25:07,885 --> 00:25:11,182
I can forget a lot of things, Lou.
You, for instance.
303
00:25:11,242 --> 00:25:13,633
Good night.
-Just a minute, baby.
304
00:25:13,693 --> 00:25:16,328
I'd like a little receipt
for that grand.
305
00:25:19,246 --> 00:25:20,827
That's better.
306
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:25,539
That's your receipt. Good night.
307
00:25:45,117 --> 00:25:46,758
Now listen...
308
00:25:50,045 --> 00:25:51,461
Go ahead.
309
00:25:51,521 --> 00:25:53,237
Take a good look.
310
00:25:53,629 --> 00:25:58,055
If you came to tell me how Vince welcomed
you back, you've said it. So, goodbye!
311
00:25:58,673 --> 00:26:02,272
I want to know what you had
to do with me...in my life.
312
00:26:04,596 --> 00:26:06,057
And this.
313
00:26:10,473 --> 00:26:12,160
December the 24th,
314
00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:13,801
1943.
315
00:26:14,162 --> 00:26:16,120
Ah, that was a lovely Christmas.
316
00:26:16,903 --> 00:26:19,041
One I'll never forget.
317
00:26:24,136 --> 00:26:26,380
Only one of your presents!
318
00:26:29,297 --> 00:26:33,664
Sure, I told Vince Alexander
you're back. I work for him.
319
00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:39,946
This clipping...
320
00:26:40,955 --> 00:26:45,366
Why couldn't you testify at the trial?
-Oh, no routines, I've heard them all.
321
00:26:48,454 --> 00:26:51,436
Listen to me!
I'm just out of an army hospital
322
00:26:51,496 --> 00:26:54,507
with a piece of steel in my head
and no memory to go with it.
323
00:26:54,567 --> 00:26:57,756
I'm here to find out about myself and
I'm getting answers the hard way!
324
00:26:57,816 --> 00:27:00,677
I don't know you, Vince Alexander...
325
00:27:00,737 --> 00:27:05,055
or anybody called Eddie Riccardi!
All I know is one person, Eddie Rice! Me!
326
00:27:07,178 --> 00:27:09,391
You're the last person I can turn to.
327
00:27:10,472 --> 00:27:12,263
Please believe me.
328
00:27:12,850 --> 00:27:14,115
Help me.
329
00:27:16,584 --> 00:27:19,039
That's a very touching speech.
330
00:27:21,477 --> 00:27:23,901
You lost your memory.
331
00:27:24,564 --> 00:27:28,298
You don't know why I couldn't
testify at the trial.
332
00:27:28,529 --> 00:27:32,067
You've forgotten how you used me to
make sure Vince would go to prison
333
00:27:32,127 --> 00:27:33,829
so you'd be set free.
334
00:27:33,889 --> 00:27:37,966
But, if you're back to your old tricks
again I've got sad news for you,
335
00:27:38,026 --> 00:27:40,752
I tore up your raincheck
three years ago.
336
00:27:43,494 --> 00:27:45,587
I'm not your wife anymore.
337
00:28:05,380 --> 00:28:08,090
Now to the station?
-Back to the hotel.
338
00:28:47,065 --> 00:28:49,579
You act like a cop that just
lost a conviction?
339
00:28:49,639 --> 00:28:52,877
Maybe I have, take a look at these.
Fresh out of the photo lab.
340
00:28:54,339 --> 00:28:56,808
Sharks don't talk, the
fingerprints spell Kelly.
341
00:28:56,868 --> 00:28:59,413
The Coroner said he was dead two
hours before he hit the water.
342
00:28:59,473 --> 00:29:01,807
Too bad. With the information
Kelly had for us
343
00:29:01,867 --> 00:29:04,186
we could have put Vince
away for a long stretch.
344
00:29:05,335 --> 00:29:07,066
What's eating you, Joe?
345
00:29:07,563 --> 00:29:09,295
I was a smart cop.
346
00:29:09,355 --> 00:29:12,712
I put Petey away to get him off of
Kelly's tail, and this is what happens.
347
00:29:12,772 --> 00:29:14,594
I feel like I killed Kelly.
348
00:29:14,654 --> 00:29:16,897
Riccardi...think he's tied up in it?
349
00:29:16,957 --> 00:29:19,909
Walking back into town that day
could tie him up in anything.
350
00:29:20,237 --> 00:29:22,706
Is the case my baby?
-All yours.
351
00:29:24,916 --> 00:29:26,301
Now what?
352
00:29:26,361 --> 00:29:28,936
I figure we shouldn't keep
it a secret from Vince.
353
00:29:40,844 --> 00:29:43,087
Only six days in the week now, huh?
354
00:29:43,455 --> 00:29:46,557
How do you like that, the card
must have fell out.
355
00:29:46,617 --> 00:29:48,604
It was there yesterday. Nick...
356
00:29:48,664 --> 00:29:50,125
Who's Jane Doe?
357
00:29:50,185 --> 00:29:52,817
Please, Lieutenant. I don't look
at their birth certificate.
358
00:29:52,877 --> 00:29:55,075
Lots of people don't use
their right names.
359
00:29:55,135 --> 00:29:59,002
With me, a buck is a buck.
I don't ask questions.
360
00:29:59,318 --> 00:30:02,435
Before I'm through, Nick...
you'll be answering a few.
361
00:30:08,026 --> 00:30:12,377
It's gettin' so you can't tail a guy anymore
without having the cops jump on ya.
362
00:30:12,437 --> 00:30:14,666
This town's goin' to the dogs.
363
00:30:14,981 --> 00:30:18,143
Samson and me...
-Petey! Get that cat off the desk!
364
00:30:18,776 --> 00:30:22,133
I was just saying, Samson and
me could stand a vacation.
365
00:30:22,389 --> 00:30:25,340
You want us to blow town?
-That's just what I don't want.
366
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,047
Coke will set you up, and stay quiet!
367
00:30:28,107 --> 00:30:30,667
Well, sure Vince, sure.
Anything you say.
368
00:31:05,567 --> 00:31:06,922
Hello, Danny.
369
00:31:16,370 --> 00:31:18,327
Come in. Come in, Joe.
370
00:31:18,674 --> 00:31:22,543
Pull up a chair and rest your feet.
I hear you've had a busy day.
371
00:31:26,329 --> 00:31:29,099
I figured you would.
I was saving you for last.
372
00:31:30,183 --> 00:31:31,644
Should I...
373
00:31:31,930 --> 00:31:33,993
relax or call in my lawyer?
374
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:36,698
That depends on how nervous you are.
375
00:31:36,758 --> 00:31:39,529
I was always thought nervous
guys bit their nails?
376
00:31:39,589 --> 00:31:41,095
Now, let me see...
377
00:31:41,317 --> 00:31:44,675
Nick was a little bit hazy about
who Jane Doe was.
378
00:31:44,946 --> 00:31:47,144
I thought you might be able to tell me.
379
00:31:47,336 --> 00:31:49,113
Never heard of the girl.
380
00:31:49,173 --> 00:31:50,634
Then there's Petey.
381
00:31:50,694 --> 00:31:54,654
And how certain people got know where
and just when to bail him out.
382
00:31:54,714 --> 00:31:57,014
Now...nobody knows anything.
383
00:31:57,421 --> 00:31:58,912
But, we'll find him.
384
00:31:59,273 --> 00:32:01,863
We;ve got all exits out of town plugged.
385
00:32:03,697 --> 00:32:06,483
And I got a hunch he'll
be real cooperative.
386
00:32:06,769 --> 00:32:08,063
You see...
387
00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:10,698
I don't think he knows
anything about this.
388
00:32:11,090 --> 00:32:12,249
Kelly.
389
00:32:12,798 --> 00:32:15,162
He's gone and gotten himself killed.
390
00:32:15,915 --> 00:32:17,571
Just like Kelly...
391
00:32:17,842 --> 00:32:19,920
You never know what he'll do next.
392
00:32:20,191 --> 00:32:21,983
That goes for a lot of guys.
393
00:32:22,449 --> 00:32:23,910
Take you and...
394
00:32:24,482 --> 00:32:26,529
Then again, take Eddie Riccardi...
395
00:32:26,589 --> 00:32:29,962
You boys forgive and forget,
and back in business again.
396
00:32:31,037 --> 00:32:34,485
You and Riccardi got a lot in common,
why don't you ask him?
397
00:32:34,545 --> 00:32:36,352
At the moment, you're number one.
398
00:32:36,623 --> 00:32:40,281
And, it won't be any...manslaughter
charge and out in two years.
399
00:32:41,076 --> 00:32:43,048
I put you away this time...
400
00:32:43,334 --> 00:32:44,840
it'll be for keeps.
401
00:32:47,035 --> 00:32:50,031
You got all the answers figured
out, haven't you?
402
00:32:50,091 --> 00:32:52,636
I might have, sooner than you think.
403
00:32:53,959 --> 00:32:55,479
So sorry!
404
00:33:35,693 --> 00:33:39,292
Me, I never had a complaint.
You call my old boss.
405
00:33:39,352 --> 00:33:42,115
He'll tell you my bringing in 500
a night at the gambling tables
406
00:33:42,175 --> 00:33:44,344
was a small bag of tell.
407
00:33:45,169 --> 00:33:48,993
Oh, Mr Alexander! I just came in looking
for a job and I was telling Ms Martin...
408
00:33:49,053 --> 00:33:50,378
Get rid of her.
409
00:33:51,278 --> 00:33:55,238
Vince, we need some new talent...
-Okay! Okay! Come back at eight tonight.
410
00:33:55,298 --> 00:33:58,324
She'll tell you what to do.
-Oh, gee! Thanks!
411
00:34:01,806 --> 00:34:03,899
You know Eddie's still in town?
412
00:34:05,013 --> 00:34:06,172
Yes.
413
00:34:06,353 --> 00:34:08,024
Been around to see you?
414
00:34:09,667 --> 00:34:10,796
When?
415
00:34:11,534 --> 00:34:13,266
Late last night.
416
00:34:14,184 --> 00:34:16,548
Did he tell ya I gave him
24 hours to get out?
417
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,249
No.
418
00:34:19,872 --> 00:34:22,793
Well, I changed my mind.
I want him to stay.
419
00:34:23,049 --> 00:34:25,142
I want you to make sure he does stay.
420
00:34:26,876 --> 00:34:29,827
My job's to work the tables
for you here, Vince, and...
421
00:34:30,324 --> 00:34:34,961
I don't even mind setups like the one with
Petey or...other deals like that, but...
422
00:34:36,439 --> 00:34:37,613
Vince...
423
00:34:38,336 --> 00:34:40,534
Stay out of my personal life!
424
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:42,311
Listen you...
425
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,041
When Eddie dropped you, who picked
you up and gave you your health?
426
00:34:46,101 --> 00:34:49,053
Who gave you your job?
Everything you got?
427
00:34:49,459 --> 00:34:51,206
Vince Alexander!
428
00:34:52,806 --> 00:34:54,538
I won't do it, Vince.
429
00:34:54,598 --> 00:34:55,923
Forget Eddie.
430
00:34:55,983 --> 00:34:57,639
When I get through with him.
431
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,717
But, now you're gonna meet him.
432
00:35:00,715 --> 00:35:03,440
And, I want you to make sure
he does stay in town.
433
00:35:34,220 --> 00:35:35,566
What'll it be?
434
00:35:35,626 --> 00:35:37,854
Did five years make you
forget that easily?
435
00:35:37,914 --> 00:35:41,016
I told you...in five years you
can forget a lot of things.
436
00:35:41,076 --> 00:35:43,064
Something for the lady?
-Rob Roy, please.
437
00:35:43,124 --> 00:35:44,491
The same.
438
00:35:48,131 --> 00:35:50,932
What made you change your mind
about seeing me again?
439
00:35:54,897 --> 00:35:58,210
You know, finding out I was married
to you kind of threw me.
440
00:35:58,992 --> 00:36:02,169
It was even something the boys at
the hospital used to rib me about.
441
00:36:02,564 --> 00:36:05,605
They had me fixed up with a
wife and four or five kids.
442
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:09,881
They didn't know how close the
gag came to being true.
443
00:36:11,474 --> 00:36:13,672
You still don't believe me, do you?
444
00:36:21,056 --> 00:36:25,236
Maybe this'll convince you it was Eddie
Rice that rang your doorbell last night.
445
00:36:26,537 --> 00:36:29,909
Call Dr Kemble at Letterman's
Hospital in San Francisco.
446
00:36:31,007 --> 00:36:33,025
He'll tell you the whole story.
447
00:36:38,141 --> 00:36:39,767
Tha cigarette case...
448
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,323
Doesn't it mean anything to you?
449
00:36:47,468 --> 00:36:48,868
Should it?
450
00:36:54,926 --> 00:36:57,350
Suppose I did believe you, then what?
451
00:36:59,488 --> 00:37:03,569
Then, I'd try and make you forget that
Eddie Riccardi was ever in your life.
452
00:37:04,476 --> 00:37:06,403
You think you can do that?
453
00:37:07,216 --> 00:37:08,737
Eddie Rice can.
454
00:37:20,823 --> 00:37:22,570
Eddie, leave town.
455
00:37:24,533 --> 00:37:27,228
Now you're talking like Vince.
-Maybe I was yesterday.
456
00:37:27,288 --> 00:37:30,492
Don't ask me why, but go.
-Nina, I don't frighten easily.
457
00:37:30,552 --> 00:37:33,353
You can take that message back to Vince.
Tell him I'm staying!
458
00:37:33,413 --> 00:37:36,816
That's what he wants you to do. That's
why I'm here, to keep you from leaving.
459
00:37:36,876 --> 00:37:38,740
I'd hate to disappoint him then.
460
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,895
Eddie, don't be stubborn, I know Vince.
He doesn't do anything without a reason.
461
00:37:43,964 --> 00:37:45,530
Neither do I.
462
00:37:47,802 --> 00:37:52,590
Stay then! Get yourself beaten up again,
or killed. Do anything you want.
463
00:38:35,782 --> 00:38:38,267
Riccardi.
-Very interesting.
464
00:38:47,205 --> 00:38:48,936
Scotch over water.
465
00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:53,136
Lose something, Charlie?
466
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,406
Tell Nina Martin, Eddie wants to see her.
-Eddie who?
467
00:38:59,658 --> 00:39:01,103
Just Eddie.
468
00:39:01,630 --> 00:39:03,060
Wait here.
469
00:39:11,467 --> 00:39:12,943
What'll I need?
470
00:39:13,003 --> 00:39:15,653
A thousand might bring you luck.
-A thousand?
471
00:39:15,894 --> 00:39:17,475
Give me a thousand.
472
00:39:24,925 --> 00:39:27,891
A character called Eddie's outside,
wants to see you.
473
00:39:27,951 --> 00:39:29,412
Eddie here?
474
00:39:29,788 --> 00:39:31,204
Get rid of him!
475
00:39:31,425 --> 00:39:33,668
That's not what Vince had in mind.
476
00:39:43,422 --> 00:39:44,972
All right, come on.
477
00:39:53,097 --> 00:39:54,663
6...9...12!
478
00:39:54,919 --> 00:39:56,636
All bets down.
479
00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:04,549
It's a nice layout. Vince ought to be
able to pick up some fast money.
480
00:40:04,609 --> 00:40:07,063
You're crazy to come walking in here.
481
00:40:07,123 --> 00:40:09,273
Maybe I'm just hard to convince.
482
00:40:10,477 --> 00:40:12,374
My dressing room is back there.
483
00:40:13,925 --> 00:40:16,590
I'll be back before the
wheel stops turning.
484
00:40:34,853 --> 00:40:35,973
Yeah?
485
00:40:37,478 --> 00:40:38,939
Okay, thanks.
486
00:40:43,645 --> 00:40:45,813
So, she wanted to get rid of him.
487
00:40:47,179 --> 00:40:50,040
I wonder if that dame is trying
to pull a double cross.
488
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,129
Get down to the Golden Horn and pick up
Eddie Riccardi, you'll find him with Nina.
489
00:40:55,189 --> 00:40:56,270
Just him?
490
00:40:56,571 --> 00:40:57,746
Just him.
491
00:40:58,197 --> 00:41:00,110
I'll get around to her later.
492
00:41:03,747 --> 00:41:05,569
I started to leave...
493
00:41:05,794 --> 00:41:08,309
but I kept thinking about
everything you told me.
494
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,230
If I'd of left I'd been all the
things you said I was.
495
00:41:11,727 --> 00:41:13,232
So, I'm staying.
496
00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:17,505
And, I'm taking you out of here.
497
00:41:18,498 --> 00:41:19,673
Nina.
498
00:41:21,043 --> 00:41:23,436
We could have a decent life together.
499
00:41:26,553 --> 00:41:28,465
You got it all figured out.
500
00:41:31,452 --> 00:41:36,089
Well, you're not taking me anywhere.
You pushed me into this life and I like it.
501
00:41:36,481 --> 00:41:41,374
I'm top bait around here steering nice,
fat, pigeons to the gambling table.
502
00:41:41,434 --> 00:41:46,174
I'm one of Vince's kind now and I'm keeping
my life and my job just the way they are.
503
00:41:46,234 --> 00:41:48,026
No matter what I have to do!
504
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:49,934
Come on.
505
00:41:59,090 --> 00:42:00,144
Thanks.
506
00:42:10,804 --> 00:42:13,469
Now, how about some champagne?
507
00:42:14,389 --> 00:42:17,581
Excuse me for a minute, honey.
I forgot I got to call my wife.
508
00:42:32,729 --> 00:42:35,048
Williams, Homicide.
Yeah, Barnes.
509
00:42:36,509 --> 00:42:37,653
Yeah!
510
00:42:38,586 --> 00:42:39,881
Thanks a lot!
511
00:42:40,377 --> 00:42:41,898
What's exciting?
512
00:42:50,385 --> 00:42:54,646
I said, what's exciting? Or, don't
you want to wake me up?
513
00:42:55,138 --> 00:42:59,113
Barnes casing the Golden Horn for vice
intel, tells me Riccardi just walked in.
514
00:42:59,805 --> 00:43:01,266
Trouble maybe?
515
00:43:01,717 --> 00:43:04,924
I could think of plenty of reasons why
there might be for Eddie Rice.
516
00:43:05,478 --> 00:43:07,300
You'll hear from me later.
517
00:43:25,961 --> 00:43:28,189
How you coming with that
Kelly report, Ben?
518
00:43:28,249 --> 00:43:30,945
Just finishing up for you.
-Okay, I'll wait.
519
00:43:33,515 --> 00:43:36,586
Somebody must've believed in that
old gag about an apple a day.
520
00:43:36,646 --> 00:43:40,513
Yeah, but they didn't know it would pin
a murder on them. -Quite an appetite.
521
00:43:40,573 --> 00:43:43,253
Psychological, it creates
a false hunger.
522
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:50,156
Well, here you are, Joe.
I can go home now.
523
00:43:50,216 --> 00:43:53,454
Thanks a lot, Ben. See you tomorrow.
-Okay, see ya tomorrow.
524
00:44:06,875 --> 00:44:07,778
Yeah?
525
00:44:07,838 --> 00:44:10,970
I'm interested in Eddie Riccardi,
not in what's going on in there.
526
00:44:11,030 --> 00:44:13,680
We don't know from Riccardi.
-I do, open up.
527
00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:18,240
Place your bets, folks. Place your
bets. Bet high/low...odd or even.
528
00:44:38,711 --> 00:44:39,795
Yes?
529
00:44:39,990 --> 00:44:43,438
Miss Martin? Williams, Homicide.
May I come in please?
530
00:44:43,732 --> 00:44:44,982
Come in.
531
00:44:47,432 --> 00:44:50,820
Eddie was just picked up by Danny.
-Where'd he take him?
532
00:44:52,557 --> 00:44:54,424
You'll hear from me later.
533
00:45:14,826 --> 00:45:16,377
You know, Williams?
534
00:45:17,054 --> 00:45:19,524
I'm not used to cops with insomnia.
535
00:45:20,201 --> 00:45:22,791
What's on your mind?
-It won't take long.
536
00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:25,960
Danny picked up Eddie Riccardi.
Where are they?
537
00:45:27,537 --> 00:45:29,329
You're in an awful rut.
538
00:45:29,540 --> 00:45:31,497
Always asking questions.
539
00:45:31,557 --> 00:45:33,846
All right...let's start over.
540
00:45:34,581 --> 00:45:37,306
Eddie was at the Golden Horn
with Nina Martin.
541
00:45:37,366 --> 00:45:39,685
Suddenly, he wasn't there anymore.
542
00:45:40,208 --> 00:45:41,368
So...
543
00:45:41,578 --> 00:45:44,018
So...I don't mind waiting.
544
00:45:45,900 --> 00:45:48,053
While we kill a little time...
545
00:45:49,429 --> 00:45:51,176
This might interest you.
546
00:46:01,803 --> 00:46:05,733
And, after we pick up Riccardi...
we're going down to police headquarters.
547
00:46:06,034 --> 00:46:08,579
You're gonna have a manicure...on me.
548
00:46:10,294 --> 00:46:13,380
You know, you're gonna look awful
silly when I get through with you.
549
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,819
If I'm wrong...I'll apologize.
550
00:46:21,050 --> 00:46:23,264
Say hello, nothing more.
551
00:46:25,733 --> 00:46:26,862
Hello.
552
00:46:27,674 --> 00:46:31,408
Vince, we're at the shop. Do we
stay or bring Riccardi up there?
553
00:46:32,507 --> 00:46:34,238
Tell him you'll be down.
554
00:46:52,464 --> 00:46:53,699
Okay, Coke...
555
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,385
<i>Bring him up here.</i>
556
00:47:28,724 --> 00:47:30,530
What do you want now?
557
00:47:41,819 --> 00:47:44,605
Just when he was coming up
in the department.
558
00:49:14,591 --> 00:49:15,886
Car 9-4
559
00:49:15,946 --> 00:49:17,813
9-4 to Control-4.
560
00:49:17,873 --> 00:49:20,252
<i>Clear Frequency-4, this is an emergency.</i>
561
00:49:20,312 --> 00:49:23,126
Control-4 to 94, go ahead.
562
00:49:23,186 --> 00:49:25,099
<i>Car 94 to Control-4</i>
563
00:49:25,159 --> 00:49:29,209
<i>Notify the Homicide Bureau, we have found
the body of Lt Williams in his car.</i>
564
00:49:29,269 --> 00:49:31,133
At Sepulveda and Sunset.
565
00:50:17,423 --> 00:50:18,763
Give you a lift, son?
566
00:50:18,823 --> 00:50:21,485
Thanks, I had a little accident
back up a side road.
567
00:50:21,545 --> 00:50:24,556
I have to go to town, get a tow car.
-Anybody killed?
568
00:50:27,016 --> 00:50:29,561
No luck at all tonight.
Hop in.
569
00:50:39,349 --> 00:50:42,090
Bet you thought I wouldn't stop
to pick you up, didn't you?
570
00:50:42,150 --> 00:50:43,638
I didn't know.
571
00:50:43,698 --> 00:50:45,113
It's late.
-See...
572
00:50:45,173 --> 00:50:49,130
That's why I fooled you. Have me orders.
Pick up anybody, anytime.
573
00:50:49,747 --> 00:50:51,870
Green Acres Morticians policy.
574
00:50:52,094 --> 00:50:54,698
Live today...maybe a customer tomorrow.
575
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,400
Pays off too.
576
00:50:56,460 --> 00:50:59,848
Most people remember the nice things
you do for them while they're living.
577
00:50:59,908 --> 00:51:03,864
We sure don't get any complaints about our
service from them after they're dead.
578
00:51:03,924 --> 00:51:05,927
Their family, that is.
579
00:51:07,423 --> 00:51:09,441
That accident hurt you any?
580
00:51:10,992 --> 00:51:13,069
Got a match?
-Sure do.
581
00:51:19,645 --> 00:51:21,813
Police, ambulance and everything.
582
00:51:22,114 --> 00:51:24,312
I wonder if I'm losing any customers?
583
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:40,902
Finished with Joe's stuff yet?
-Still working on it.
584
00:51:43,326 --> 00:51:44,816
It's too bad...
585
00:51:45,434 --> 00:51:48,460
Joe's wife sure liked him
in that suit too.
586
00:52:13,311 --> 00:52:16,021
Any line on Riccardi yet?
-Nothing, Captain.
587
00:52:16,081 --> 00:52:19,710
Keep trying, he's the last one who
might of seen Joe. -Okay.
588
00:52:20,197 --> 00:52:21,718
Eddie Riccardi.
589
00:52:24,187 --> 00:52:26,445
Guess Williams was right after all.
590
00:52:26,701 --> 00:52:28,538
Riccardi or Rice.
591
00:52:28,826 --> 00:52:32,530
A Silver Star and a dumb look doesn't
change a no good heel.
592
00:52:33,147 --> 00:52:36,173
Attention all units!
Attention all units!
593
00:52:36,233 --> 00:52:40,175
Be on the lookout for the following
<i>described suspect, wanted for murder:</i>
594
00:52:40,551 --> 00:52:43,322
<i>Eddie Riccardi, alias Eddie Rice,</i>
595
00:52:43,589 --> 00:52:46,164
<i>White male, American,</i>
596
00:52:46,224 --> 00:52:49,341
<i>Age 33, 6 foot 2.</i>
597
00:52:49,729 --> 00:52:51,506
<i>190 lbs...</i>
598
00:52:51,957 --> 00:52:53,312
<i>Dark brown...</i>
599
00:52:53,659 --> 00:52:55,944
You phone the cops and do 'em a favor,
600
00:52:56,004 --> 00:53:00,024
where to find a dead cop and the guy
that did it, and what happens...
601
00:53:05,972 --> 00:53:08,035
The first stop is Nina Martin's.
602
00:53:08,276 --> 00:53:10,474
I want Eddie before the cops get him.
603
00:53:10,730 --> 00:53:12,913
Then they can have him for a present.
604
00:53:14,334 --> 00:53:15,915
And alive!
605
00:53:32,066 --> 00:53:33,843
Eddie!
-Shut up!
606
00:53:34,168 --> 00:53:36,065
Get those lights out!
607
00:53:37,285 --> 00:53:39,152
Eddie, what happened?
608
00:53:40,533 --> 00:53:43,951
You certainly did a neat job
of tying me into a murder.
609
00:53:44,011 --> 00:53:46,089
Joe Williams was killed tonight.
610
00:53:46,149 --> 00:53:47,901
You?
-I don't know.
611
00:53:47,961 --> 00:53:51,138
The last thing I remember was being slugged
over the head at Vince Alexander's.
612
00:53:51,198 --> 00:53:53,713
I know you think that...
-I haven't got time to think!
613
00:53:53,773 --> 00:53:57,811
All I want is a few bucks, your car and
you in my sight till I get out of here!
614
00:53:57,871 --> 00:53:59,874
Eddie, you've got to believe me!
615
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:01,335
Believe?
616
00:54:01,656 --> 00:54:03,508
Like you believed me?
617
00:54:03,885 --> 00:54:05,661
Give me the keys!
618
00:54:10,271 --> 00:54:14,017
Eddie! This is why I turned on you
tonight, to get you away from Vince.
619
00:54:14,077 --> 00:54:16,992
The keys are in the car, you go,
I'll try to stall them off.
620
00:54:17,224 --> 00:54:19,468
And get a bullet in the back of my head?
621
00:54:19,528 --> 00:54:22,404
Oh, Eddie! You've got to trust me,
it's your only chance.
622
00:54:24,815 --> 00:54:26,091
Quick!
623
00:54:26,444 --> 00:54:28,043
The garage.
624
00:55:25,770 --> 00:55:29,188
This is where you get out. -Go to the
police, Eddie. Before it's too late.
625
00:55:29,248 --> 00:55:32,400
With my fingerprints all over the
gun and all over Williams car?
626
00:55:32,460 --> 00:55:35,257
I wouldn't last long enough to walk
to the nearest police station.
627
00:55:35,317 --> 00:55:38,133
If I did what could I tell them?
Now out!
628
00:55:38,788 --> 00:55:41,737
You want me to go home and wait
for Vince to come back again?
629
00:55:41,797 --> 00:55:45,800
That's something Eddie Riccardo would
tell me to do, not Eddie Rice.
630
00:55:49,139 --> 00:55:50,606
All right.
631
00:56:06,538 --> 00:56:07,668
Stop.
632
00:56:11,312 --> 00:56:13,997
Keep your lights off and
the motor running.
633
00:56:57,233 --> 00:56:59,889
Well, now you've got a gun! What next?
634
00:57:01,213 --> 00:57:04,044
I didn't ask for any killings,
so I'm in the middle.
635
00:57:04,528 --> 00:57:07,711
But, I'm not going to be a clay
pigeon for Vince Alexander.
636
00:57:08,308 --> 00:57:10,513
You can't prove anything dead.
637
00:57:10,573 --> 00:57:14,597
That would make Vince very happy,
something I wouldn't want to let happen.
638
00:57:15,047 --> 00:57:18,758
Is there any place we could go, someone
you can trust to put us up for the night?
639
00:57:18,818 --> 00:57:20,299
I need time.
640
00:57:21,747 --> 00:57:23,404
Maybe there is.
641
00:57:23,464 --> 00:57:25,443
It's a long chance, but...
642
00:57:28,917 --> 00:57:31,763
You don't think you're going to
get away with this, do you?
643
00:57:32,276 --> 00:57:34,477
We're staying here till tomorrow.
644
00:57:42,766 --> 00:57:46,004
Stay away from that phone!
If it rings, let it keep ringing!
645
00:57:46,064 --> 00:57:48,953
Get rid of anybody who comes to
the door, I'll be right behind you
646
00:57:49,013 --> 00:57:50,845
in case you give the wrong answers.
647
00:57:55,517 --> 00:57:58,539
What about the girl's place?
-There and gone.
648
00:57:58,599 --> 00:58:02,705
Get a teletype out on her car immediately,
have it re-broadcast every half hour.
649
00:58:08,211 --> 00:58:10,661
I want roadblocks at all these points.
650
00:58:10,721 --> 00:58:12,705
I want the airport, the railroad station,
651
00:58:12,765 --> 00:58:15,536
all the bus terminals put
under a 24 surveillance.
652
00:58:15,596 --> 00:58:18,001
I want every hotel and
flophouse notified.
653
00:58:18,061 --> 00:58:20,818
They're in this town somewhere
and they're not getting out.
654
00:58:21,019 --> 00:58:22,354
One other thing...
655
00:58:22,414 --> 00:58:26,887
We picked up Riccardi's fingerprints on
that gun shop. He's got a gun now.
656
00:58:27,294 --> 00:58:29,421
Don't give him a chance to use it!
657
00:58:29,481 --> 00:58:31,284
All right, start moving.
658
00:58:31,344 --> 00:58:33,908
<i>The police tightened its dragnet
about the city today.</i>
659
00:58:33,968 --> 00:58:36,988
<i>Riccardi escaped just as the police
were ready to close in on him</i>
660
00:58:37,048 --> 00:58:39,197
<i>after they received an
anonymous phone call</i>
661
00:58:39,257 --> 00:58:42,292
<i>which led them to discover the murdered
body of one of their men today.</i>
662
00:58:42,352 --> 00:58:44,067
<i>Every available man...</i>
663
00:58:47,714 --> 00:58:49,958
We'll wait till it's dark
and get out of here.
664
00:58:50,018 --> 00:58:52,423
You couldn't arrange to
drop dead before then?
665
00:58:52,483 --> 00:58:55,606
Hazel, you've got to believe us.
Eddie didn't do it!
666
00:58:55,897 --> 00:58:57,936
He should still drop dead.
667
00:58:58,269 --> 00:58:59,604
Twice.
668
01:00:12,318 --> 01:00:13,477
Coke!
669
01:00:36,274 --> 01:00:38,401
Get me a couple of clean towels.
670
01:00:42,231 --> 01:00:43,771
It's pretty bad.
671
01:00:44,739 --> 01:00:49,052
I'll have you out of here in a minute,
we'll find a doctor. -Go to the police.
672
01:00:49,497 --> 01:00:51,448
Eddie, go to the police.
673
01:00:53,848 --> 01:00:55,961
Your car in the garage?
-Yes.
674
01:00:56,021 --> 01:00:58,704
Where are your keys?
-In my purse.
675
01:00:58,764 --> 01:01:00,288
Take care of her.
676
01:01:22,875 --> 01:01:23,843
Thanks.
677
01:01:23,903 --> 01:01:26,748
I'll have the doctor come right
in the moment he returns.
678
01:01:38,651 --> 01:01:40,602
Light me a cigarette.
679
01:02:02,498 --> 01:02:04,288
You're far away.
680
01:02:06,205 --> 01:02:07,614
How far?
681
01:02:09,418 --> 01:02:10,885
Five years.
682
01:02:11,545 --> 01:02:13,041
A lifetime.
683
01:02:14,259 --> 01:02:15,961
Beyond that, a blank.
684
01:02:17,162 --> 01:02:18,879
Me too, Eddie.
685
01:02:18,939 --> 01:02:21,270
Only, it's been a different
kind of a blank.
686
01:02:21,798 --> 01:02:24,453
It's being pushed back
to Eddie Riccardi.
687
01:02:24,937 --> 01:02:26,184
This.
688
01:02:26,811 --> 01:02:30,215
The whole past that keeps me
from being like other people.
689
01:02:30,992 --> 01:02:32,763
Now all that's left is
690
01:02:32,823 --> 01:02:36,460
wondering what it would be like if there
had only been an Eddie Rice.
691
01:02:38,540 --> 01:02:41,287
If I'd of just met you
for the first time.
692
01:02:43,087 --> 01:02:45,508
Eddie Rice can have that.
693
01:02:48,248 --> 01:02:50,610
Oh, you're...good, Eddie.
694
01:02:51,681 --> 01:02:53,368
You're good.
695
01:02:54,934 --> 01:02:57,622
You've taken away the hate in me.
696
01:02:58,176 --> 01:02:59,995
Destroyed it.
697
01:03:01,946 --> 01:03:03,912
You're...good, Eddie.
698
01:03:07,874 --> 01:03:10,573
When a baby wants to be born,
hours don't matter!
699
01:03:10,633 --> 01:03:12,554
7 poundsd 7ounces...a boy.
700
01:03:12,614 --> 01:03:14,549
Doctor, her shoulder...
701
01:03:29,779 --> 01:03:31,760
I can't treat gun wounds.
702
01:03:31,820 --> 01:03:34,679
She'll have to go to the police
emergency hospital.
703
01:03:34,739 --> 01:03:36,179
I don't think so.
704
01:03:36,239 --> 01:03:39,260
I'm sorry, but I've got to report
this to the police.
705
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:40,624
Doctor.
706
01:03:41,138 --> 01:03:43,191
That report to the police...
707
01:03:43,539 --> 01:03:44,918
It'll wait.
708
01:03:45,123 --> 01:03:47,368
If you want to pull that
trigger, go ahead.
709
01:03:49,535 --> 01:03:51,603
Police headquarters, please.
710
01:03:53,055 --> 01:03:56,092
Put that gun away! I said I was
going to call the police.
711
01:03:56,293 --> 01:03:57,775
Police headquarters?
712
01:03:57,980 --> 01:04:00,914
This is Dr Stacey, 93 Chestnut Street.
713
01:04:01,174 --> 01:04:03,492
Send an ambulance and a squad car.
714
01:04:09,003 --> 01:04:10,602
How bad is it?
715
01:04:14,534 --> 01:04:16,118
She'll be all right.
716
01:04:18,447 --> 01:04:20,262
You'd better leave.
717
01:04:27,035 --> 01:04:30,805
Eddie, I'm scared...I'm scared...
-Take it easy, you'll be all right.
718
01:04:30,865 --> 01:04:33,341
Not for me, for you.
-Listen...
719
01:04:33,531 --> 01:04:37,507
I'm leaving you for a little while.
I've got an idea, it might work.
720
01:04:37,567 --> 01:04:39,672
Something very important.
721
01:04:40,214 --> 01:04:44,395
You knew all about me. The people
I used to know, the places I went.
722
01:04:44,699 --> 01:04:46,855
Think for me, go back five years.
723
01:04:46,915 --> 01:04:51,110
Who was there? Just one person.
Give me the answers, quick!
724
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,289
What you say is my only chance,
the only chance I've got.
725
01:04:54,349 --> 01:04:58,231
The only one left is...Petey.
He can't be trusted with Vince.
726
01:04:58,291 --> 01:05:01,337
Where will I find him?
-Not him, he's... -Tell me!
727
01:05:01,759 --> 01:05:04,457
Two, three places on Main Street.
728
01:05:05,198 --> 01:05:07,034
Fourth and Main...
729
01:05:07,094 --> 01:05:10,091
And after Nina ran in front of him,
Coke never had a chance.
730
01:05:10,151 --> 01:05:11,748
That Eddie sure didn't miss.
731
01:05:11,808 --> 01:05:14,345
Coke took three, went right through
his breakfast, lunch and supper.
732
01:05:14,405 --> 01:05:16,575
Anybody come around, ask any questions?
733
01:05:16,635 --> 01:05:19,900
None I couldn't answer, Vince.
-Get back down and keep him company.
734
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,570
But...but, the police?
-That's exactly what I want!
735
01:05:22,630 --> 01:05:25,559
Tell him how Riccardi broke into your
apartment, found Coke there
736
01:05:25,619 --> 01:05:28,727
pulled his gun and fired. Now do
what I told you, just that!
737
01:05:29,035 --> 01:05:31,250
All right, Vince.
-Take her back!
738
01:05:35,048 --> 01:05:37,293
Eddie's got to find a doctor somewhere.
739
01:05:37,484 --> 01:05:39,581
And, if he does what I think, he'll...
740
01:05:39,772 --> 01:05:42,295
dump the girl...and start looking
for a hidewaway.
741
01:05:43,785 --> 01:05:44,973
Get going!
742
01:05:45,033 --> 01:05:48,039
Spread the news I got a personal
interest in Eddie Riccardi.
743
01:05:48,099 --> 01:05:50,870
I don't want anything to happen
to him...until I get there.
744
01:05:51,389 --> 01:05:53,443
Unless the cops get him first.
745
01:05:54,467 --> 01:05:57,841
You through with him, Doc?
-Yup. He was a fine specimen.
746
01:05:57,901 --> 01:06:00,041
Would have had a long life
if this hadn't happened.
747
01:06:00,101 --> 01:06:02,051
I'll send you my report in the morning.
748
01:06:05,694 --> 01:06:08,335
I'm sure you don't mind coming
downtown, Miss Downs?
749
01:06:08,395 --> 01:06:10,477
Well, I...
-I thought not.
750
01:06:12,659 --> 01:06:14,859
What'd you find?
-It was them all right.
751
01:06:14,919 --> 01:06:17,471
Riccardi left the doctor's office
about 30 minutes ago
752
01:06:17,531 --> 01:06:20,830
Notify Communications? -They're blanketing
the whole area. -The girl?
753
01:06:20,890 --> 01:06:25,608
County Jail Hospital. Still out, whether
she's playing it safe or just not talking.
754
01:06:25,668 --> 01:06:29,085
Keep Melon there, the minute she comes
out, I want to know. -Any ideas?
755
01:06:29,145 --> 01:06:31,970
Lots! We need Riccardi to
explain some of them.
756
01:06:32,157 --> 01:06:34,196
If he lives that long.
757
01:06:38,347 --> 01:06:41,120
Hello. I'm looking for Petey,
have you seen him?
758
01:06:42,691 --> 01:06:44,671
Do you know where to find him?
759
01:06:57,552 --> 01:07:00,780
<i>Nina said three or four places,
I must have hit twenty.</i>
760
01:07:01,245 --> 01:07:03,196
<i>And every answer the same.</i>
761
01:07:03,710 --> 01:07:04,810
<i>No.</i>
762
01:07:05,803 --> 01:07:08,605
<i>The shake of their head,
a frightened face.</i>
763
01:07:10,111 --> 01:07:14,043
<i>They knew where I could find what I was
looking for, but they wouldn't talk.</i>
764
01:07:14,483 --> 01:07:16,141
<i>They were scared.</i>
765
01:08:08,257 --> 01:08:11,660
But, Vince! Appreciate the fact
that at least I called you.
766
01:08:11,961 --> 01:08:14,015
I let him stay, it's another rap.
767
01:08:14,075 --> 01:08:17,623
Another rap, I get life! You've
got to appreciate that!
768
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,296
And I'd appreciate it if you'd
tell me where to find Petey.
769
01:08:24,044 --> 01:08:25,306
Right now!
770
01:08:25,366 --> 01:08:26,758
Sure, Eddie.
771
01:08:27,096 --> 01:08:28,152
Sure.
772
01:08:34,841 --> 01:08:36,822
Ocean Boulevard and 25th.
773
01:09:43,996 --> 01:09:46,490
Who's there? Who is it?
-Eddie.
774
01:09:47,355 --> 01:09:48,910
Eddie Riccardi.
775
01:09:49,277 --> 01:09:52,886
Oh, Eddie boy. Every cop in the
city is out gunning for you!
776
01:09:53,350 --> 01:09:55,403
Maybe you don't care if you live...
777
01:09:55,711 --> 01:09:57,604
I got a few more years left!
778
01:09:57,839 --> 01:09:59,526
Open the door, Petey.
779
01:10:00,083 --> 01:10:01,799
You're dead if you don't.
780
01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:04,769
All right, Eddie.
781
01:10:12,804 --> 01:10:15,914
You didn't think I'd leave you out
there in the cold, did you Eddie?
782
01:10:16,545 --> 01:10:20,550
Five years, no see! But, you sure got
a hot fire burning under you, huh?
783
01:10:21,019 --> 01:10:22,105
Yeah.
784
01:10:24,891 --> 01:10:26,900
You need a pal, a friend.
785
01:10:30,025 --> 01:10:32,240
Sure, I need a friend, Petey.
786
01:10:32,483 --> 01:10:36,263
Look, old friend... Will you...will
you put that mouthpiece away?
787
01:10:36,323 --> 01:10:39,153
Somehow I...I still believe they go off!
788
01:10:39,926 --> 01:10:42,669
And, Samson my cat, you remember my cat?
789
01:10:44,180 --> 01:10:46,439
He's not feeling too good again.
790
01:10:46,949 --> 01:10:49,545
You stay careful and
nothing will happen.
791
01:10:49,605 --> 01:10:53,110
Oh sure. Sure, Eddie. You're
talking to Petey, remember?
792
01:10:53,340 --> 01:10:55,746
Any objections to my moving in with you?
793
01:10:56,025 --> 01:10:58,416
I'll be gone, tomorrow or the next day.
794
01:10:58,476 --> 01:11:01,771
Oh, me? Turn away practically,
my own flesh and blood?
795
01:11:03,341 --> 01:11:04,822
Relax, Eddie.
796
01:11:08,491 --> 01:11:11,308
There you are, Eddie. Nothing's
too good for you.
797
01:11:12,355 --> 01:11:16,154
How about some food, Petey?
I haven't eaten all night.
798
01:11:16,536 --> 01:11:18,370
You haven't changed a bit.
799
01:11:18,590 --> 01:11:20,086
Always hungry!
800
01:11:20,146 --> 01:11:22,022
Still tied up with Vince?
801
01:11:24,002 --> 01:11:27,670
I do a little private eyeing on the side.
A job here, a job there.
802
01:11:28,007 --> 01:11:29,284
Nothing big.
803
01:11:31,150 --> 01:11:32,705
I'll telephone.
804
01:11:43,749 --> 01:11:47,358
Hello, friend? Petey! I got
a special customer.
805
01:11:47,828 --> 01:11:49,852
Yeah. Yeah, an old one.
806
01:11:50,881 --> 01:11:54,094
How about sending something over?
He's tired and hungry.
807
01:11:54,813 --> 01:11:56,778
A pot of coffee and a sandwich.
808
01:11:56,969 --> 01:11:58,011
Turkey.
809
01:11:58,266 --> 01:11:59,352
Tongue
810
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:01,684
Egg salad combination.
811
01:12:02,638 --> 01:12:04,442
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
812
01:12:05,543 --> 01:12:06,863
You got it.
813
01:12:12,752 --> 01:12:16,068
You see, Eddie? Everything's
just like old times.
814
01:12:16,655 --> 01:12:18,474
If you say so, Petey.
815
01:12:20,114 --> 01:12:21,948
I'm gettin' kinda sleepy.
816
01:12:22,271 --> 01:12:25,308
You just make yourself at home,
food will be along pretty soon.
817
01:12:25,368 --> 01:12:28,183
Vince has gotten to be a big
man the last five years.
818
01:12:28,675 --> 01:12:31,168
I'm really gettin' pretty tired, friend.
819
01:12:31,228 --> 01:12:33,457
Why don't you bring me
up to date, Petey?
820
01:12:33,517 --> 01:12:35,247
I'm really awful tired, friend!
821
01:12:35,307 --> 01:12:37,501
How long will it take Vince to get here?
822
01:12:37,971 --> 01:12:40,861
Eddie...Eddie, you...you embarrass me.
823
01:12:41,135 --> 01:12:43,834
I'll kill you if you don't give
it to me straight, Petey!
824
01:12:43,894 --> 01:12:47,047
Eddie...Eddie, don't talk like that.
Samson's sick!
825
01:12:47,543 --> 01:12:50,403
I'm telling you, Eddie!
-What are you telling me? How long?
826
01:12:50,463 --> 01:12:53,557
Five minutes? Ten? Fifteen minutes?
Twenty minutes?
827
01:12:54,096 --> 01:12:57,015
About...about fifteen minutes, Eddie.
828
01:12:57,323 --> 01:13:00,902
Vince puts you on the spot!
He's that way with all the boys!
829
01:13:01,162 --> 01:13:04,781
Blow Eddie! Take me with you.
You and me was always friends!
830
01:13:04,841 --> 01:13:08,273
You just stay in front of me and keep your
mouth shut and you won't get into trouble.
831
01:13:08,333 --> 01:13:11,265
Sure, Eddie! You got nothing
to worry about from me.
832
01:13:11,325 --> 01:13:14,361
Just stay my friend, Petey.
-Yeah, Eddie.
833
01:13:27,837 --> 01:13:29,935
You're retired, you can go home now.
834
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:32,601
Your friend want a ride?
-Not tonight.
835
01:13:34,995 --> 01:13:36,151
$2.80
836
01:13:36,711 --> 01:13:39,616
This will get you a thousand.
Come on, Petey.
837
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,005
Take care of Petey.
838
01:15:45,187 --> 01:15:46,434
Eddie!
839
01:15:46,625 --> 01:15:48,165
Let's get out of here!
840
01:15:49,661 --> 01:15:51,158
Go ahead, Petey.
841
01:15:51,610 --> 01:15:52,974
Thanks, Eddie.
842
01:15:54,148 --> 01:15:55,615
They're coming!
843
01:18:02,988 --> 01:18:04,191
Eddie.
844
01:18:04,792 --> 01:18:06,274
Can you hear me?
845
01:18:09,079 --> 01:18:10,898
We can make a break.
846
01:18:11,558 --> 01:18:13,319
Cover for each other.
847
01:18:14,096 --> 01:18:15,739
I got a place.
848
01:18:17,148 --> 01:18:18,820
You and me, Eddie.
849
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,342
We'll start up again.
850
01:18:22,914 --> 01:18:25,056
Just like old times.
851
01:18:30,072 --> 01:18:31,671
I got money, Eddie.
852
01:18:32,992 --> 01:18:34,327
Big money!
853
01:18:37,521 --> 01:18:39,355
Samson! Samson!
854
01:18:39,986 --> 01:18:41,159
Samson!
855
01:18:43,096 --> 01:18:44,841
Petey! Come back!
856
01:18:46,807 --> 01:18:47,908
Samson.
857
01:18:48,318 --> 01:18:50,446
Samson, baby. Samson.
858
01:19:47,773 --> 01:19:50,091
Riccardi! Alexander!
859
01:19:50,292 --> 01:19:53,813
We'll give you three minutes to come out.
We're gonna start counting.
860
01:19:54,135 --> 01:19:57,920
At the end of three minutes if you're
not out, we're coming to get you!
861
01:19:58,429 --> 01:20:00,600
This is your last chance, Eddie.
862
01:20:01,862 --> 01:20:04,121
There's just you and me left now.
863
01:20:04,181 --> 01:20:05,676
No deal, Vince.
864
01:20:06,455 --> 01:20:08,538
I know you killed Joe Williams.
865
01:20:08,978 --> 01:20:10,357
Okay...
866
01:20:11,516 --> 01:20:13,071
No deals.
867
01:21:51,795 --> 01:21:54,993
We want you, Riccardi..
Alive, Alexander!
868
01:21:55,595 --> 01:21:58,646
If you're in there and not wounded,
bring Riccardi out.
869
01:21:59,653 --> 01:22:03,761
You, Riccardi! If you're alone, come
out with your hands in the air!
870
01:22:06,712 --> 01:22:09,176
Here's when you and I part company.
871
01:22:09,396 --> 01:22:12,081
You're gonna get paid off in full.
872
01:22:41,345 --> 01:22:43,574
Thanks for bringing him out, Vince.
873
01:22:43,853 --> 01:22:47,169
Now, drop your gun.
I said drop your gun, Vince!
874
01:22:49,233 --> 01:22:51,932
Eddie will take what I
got first, Anderson!
875
01:22:54,015 --> 01:22:56,568
All police officers hold your fire!
876
01:22:57,552 --> 01:22:59,532
Don't be crazy, Alexander.
877
01:22:59,899 --> 01:23:02,774
There have been enough people killed.
Give yourself up.
878
01:23:02,834 --> 01:23:04,491
No bargains, Anderson!
879
01:23:04,551 --> 01:23:06,487
You want Riccardi alive...
880
01:23:06,547 --> 01:23:07,866
I want out!
881
01:23:07,926 --> 01:23:10,682
What guarantee have I got that
you won't kill Riccardi?
882
01:23:10,742 --> 01:23:13,250
You don't!
-Be sensible, Alexander.
883
01:23:13,979 --> 01:23:16,854
If we let you out now,
we'll get you later.
884
01:23:17,089 --> 01:23:19,040
You'll be dead before morning.
885
01:23:19,245 --> 01:23:21,930
You got 30 seconds to make
up your mind, Anderson!
886
01:23:22,688 --> 01:23:24,053
I go...
887
01:23:24,361 --> 01:23:26,415
or Riccardi gets it in the back!
888
01:23:29,595 --> 01:23:31,388
Sat down, Eddie! Don't move!
889
01:24:05,464 --> 01:24:06,711
Is he dead?
890
01:24:06,771 --> 01:24:09,234
He will be if we don't get
him to a hospital.
891
01:24:15,716 --> 01:24:19,090
That taxi driver must have really
gotten to you in a hurry.
892
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,980
He did, asking for a $1000 reward.
893
01:24:22,337 --> 01:24:26,826
And all the questions you want to ask...
I called Dr Kemble from San Francisco.
894
01:24:27,149 --> 01:24:31,242
We knew Vince killed Jow Williams,
we found his blood on Joe's clothing.
895
01:24:31,604 --> 01:24:34,435
It matched up with our
lab files, yours didn't.
896
01:24:34,740 --> 01:24:37,351
And, Hazel told us the truth about Coke.
897
01:24:37,747 --> 01:24:41,254
Now, just get well. We'll finish
our business later.
898
01:24:42,217 --> 01:24:43,391
Nina...
899
01:24:43,451 --> 01:24:45,782
She's fine...in the waiting room.
900
01:25:05,063 --> 01:25:08,173
You shouldn't kiss a guy like
that when he's sick in bed.
901
01:25:10,205 --> 01:25:14,254
Well, I've been waiting outside all the
time. They wouldn't tell me anything.
902
01:25:14,314 --> 01:25:15,970
I was afraid...
903
01:25:17,151 --> 01:25:18,647
It's all right.
904
01:25:19,674 --> 01:25:21,170
We'll go away.
905
01:25:21,230 --> 01:25:24,222
We'll find that...crazy world of yours.
906
01:25:25,698 --> 01:25:27,151
Sure.
907
01:25:30,408 --> 01:25:32,373
There's only one thing...
908
01:25:33,675 --> 01:25:35,494
You'll always be...
909
01:25:35,758 --> 01:25:37,298
Eddie Rice.
910
01:25:38,853 --> 01:25:40,540
For the rest of my life.
911
01:25:40,990 --> 01:25:43,059
I have the doc's word for him.
912
01:25:44,673 --> 01:25:46,110
Come here.

After sustaining a head wound in combat, decorated World War II veteran Eddie Rice (John Payne) is treated at a San Francisco military hospital for a permanent form of amnesia. This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.
Rice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely.

1
00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556
This is the Letterman General Hosiptal
at San Francisco, California.
2
00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219
For those outside these gates the
war is over, a thing of the past.
3
00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888
For those behind these gates there's a
grim, hard, bitter fight still going on.
4
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518
Take one case, the case
of Eddie Rice, age 33.
5
00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206
Enlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.
Holder of the Silver Star, but today...
6
00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026
A name and date number, a medical file.
For five years a chart on a hospital bed.
7
00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340
A victim of amnesia.
A mind with a blocked out past.
8
00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127
Where were you born, Eddie?
Who are your parents?
9
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912
Any brothers? Sisters?
10
00:01:54,277 --> 00:01:58,775
Where did you go to school?
What's your trade? Profession?
11
00:01:59,433 --> 00:02:01,748
Are you rich?
Poor?
12
00:02:02,051 --> 00:02:03,689
Got a girl?
13
00:02:03,915 --> 00:02:05,289
Married?
14
00:02:05,349 --> 00:02:06,869
I don't know.
15
00:02:07,378 --> 00:02:09,015
I don't know!
16
00:02:09,824 --> 00:02:11,537
I can't remember.
17
00:02:12,444 --> 00:02:14,571
I just can't remember, doctor.
18
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:30,922
You had me open. What did you quit for?
-We did the best we could, Eddie.
19
00:02:31,218 --> 00:02:33,439
It'll just have to stay there.
20
00:02:34,606 --> 00:02:38,483
Is that final?
-Unless you want your name on a headstone.
21
00:02:38,543 --> 00:02:43,592
That shrapnel's too deep in your brain.
Scar tissue has grown all around it.
22
00:02:43,652 --> 00:02:46,980
Believe me, we tried.
-Yeah, I guess you did.
23
00:02:48,391 --> 00:02:52,551
Where do I go from here?
-Eddie, there are two kinds of amnesia:
24
00:02:52,611 --> 00:02:54,895
psychological and organic.
25
00:02:55,178 --> 00:03:00,240
The psychological form is temporary, but
it can be cured through psychotherapy.
26
00:03:01,016 --> 00:03:03,876
Yours is organic, it's permanent.
27
00:03:04,347 --> 00:03:07,772
That piece of steel in your brain
has blocked out your memory.
28
00:03:07,832 --> 00:03:10,863
Which doesn't leave me much
of a future, does it?
29
00:03:10,923 --> 00:03:15,071
Of course it does, physically
you're normal and healthy.
30
00:03:15,131 --> 00:03:17,771
You've received the maximum
medical benefits
31
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:22,559
You've completed training courses that make
you fit to hold down a job and face life.
32
00:03:23,499 --> 00:03:26,540
With no address, no next
of kin, nothing.
33
00:03:27,489 --> 00:03:29,567
Enlisted from Los Angeles...
34
00:03:29,627 --> 00:03:32,397
Intelligence ran that down
for us, remember?
35
00:03:32,867 --> 00:03:35,818
Oh sure, there were a lot of
people named Rice there...
36
00:03:36,026 --> 00:03:37,682
but not this Eddie Rice.
37
00:03:37,742 --> 00:03:41,777
But, Army Intelligence didn't mow
Los Angeles lawns as a kid, Eddie.
38
00:03:41,837 --> 00:03:44,292
They didn't trade at the corner market.
39
00:03:44,352 --> 00:03:48,775
They didn't work with people in a factory,
in an office, as you might have done.
40
00:03:48,986 --> 00:03:50,136
Now...
41
00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:54,081
If you went down there...and ran
into somebody who knew you,
42
00:03:54,141 --> 00:03:55,918
just one person...
43
00:03:56,384 --> 00:03:57,694
Yes...
44
00:03:58,992 --> 00:04:01,702
If I ran into just one person
who knew me.
45
00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:03,689
One guy...
46
00:04:04,785 --> 00:04:07,149
Who would come up to me and say:
47
00:04:07,616 --> 00:04:08,775
"Eddie."
48
00:04:08,986 --> 00:04:10,491
"Eddie Rice."
49
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:12,253
"How have you been?"
50
00:04:12,581 --> 00:04:14,132
"Where have you been?"
51
00:04:14,192 --> 00:04:15,577
That's it, Eddie.
52
00:04:15,637 --> 00:04:18,766
And then, they'd tell me about
someone else I used to know.
53
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:21,626
And, I'd meet somebody else.
54
00:04:22,635 --> 00:04:24,141
And another...
55
00:04:25,342 --> 00:04:26,908
And another...
56
00:04:57,774 --> 00:05:00,996
<i>Sure, it scares you to go out into
a world you don't remember...</i>
57
00:05:01,484 --> 00:05:02,959
<i>but you're here now.</i>
58
00:05:03,742 --> 00:05:05,473
<i>It'll be a new life.</i>
59
00:05:05,805 --> 00:05:07,295
<i>A new start.</i>
60
00:05:08,231 --> 00:05:10,189
<i>Find yourself a place to live.</i>
61
00:05:10,957 --> 00:05:12,613
<i>Get yourself a job.</i>
62
00:05:13,290 --> 00:05:14,540
<i>Get going.</i>
63
00:05:15,353 --> 00:05:16,919
<i>Get going, Eddie!</i>
64
00:05:19,198 --> 00:05:20,357
Eddie!
65
00:05:20,417 --> 00:05:22,736
You know, it's a small world, Eddie.
66
00:05:22,796 --> 00:05:25,266
We came down here to pick
up a little of one thing,
67
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:28,650
and we ran into a little of another!
-A lot of us thought you were dead.
68
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:32,851
Yes, and...those that didn't hoped you
were. What are you doing in town?
69
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,642
I'm just in from San Francisco.
70
00:05:36,702 --> 00:05:40,060
I didn't ask you that.
-He asked you what you were doing in town.
71
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,354
I cam here to look up some...people.
72
00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:45,989
Funny, I...I had a feeling that was it.
73
00:05:46,049 --> 00:05:48,443
Anderson one of them?
-Anderson?
74
00:05:49,719 --> 00:05:50,698
Maybe.
75
00:05:50,758 --> 00:05:54,251
I think you're lying, Eddie. I don't think you
were gonna look up Anderson at all.
76
00:05:54,311 --> 00:05:57,458
Barrett, do you think he was gonna
look up Anderson? -No, Joe.
77
00:05:57,699 --> 00:06:00,108
Not Anderson.
-I'll tell you what...
78
00:06:00,168 --> 00:06:02,737
I got a car and nothing
to do for a while...
79
00:06:02,797 --> 00:06:05,478
Let's go see Anderson together.
Any objections?
80
00:06:07,616 --> 00:06:09,016
No objections.
81
00:06:09,076 --> 00:06:11,256
Stick around, Kelly may still show.
82
00:06:11,452 --> 00:06:12,506
Let's go.
83
00:06:35,122 --> 00:06:37,667
'Honorable discharge of Edward Rice.'
84
00:06:41,972 --> 00:06:43,568
What's the gimmick?
85
00:06:44,110 --> 00:06:46,399
If you'd put away your blackjacks
long enough
86
00:06:46,459 --> 00:06:48,431
maybe I could get it through
your heads that...
87
00:06:48,491 --> 00:06:50,714
I don't know what you're talking about.
88
00:06:50,774 --> 00:06:52,912
You got yourself a sense
of humor, Eddie.
89
00:06:52,972 --> 00:06:56,010
You think you come back here with
a dumb look and a Silver Star...
90
00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:58,958
That changes a no good heel?
-But, I'm trying to tell you that...
91
00:06:59,018 --> 00:07:01,382
You don't have to tell us
anything about yourself.
92
00:07:01,442 --> 00:07:03,881
We got it all down in black and white.
93
00:07:06,019 --> 00:07:07,630
Read it, Riccardi.
94
00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:09,313
We didn't dream it up.
95
00:07:09,795 --> 00:07:12,355
Possession of a weapon
with intent to kill.
96
00:07:12,882 --> 00:07:14,553
Suspicion of murder.
97
00:07:17,184 --> 00:07:18,566
<i>Riccardi...</i>
98
00:07:19,274 --> 00:07:20,960
<i>Eddie Riccardi.</i>
99
00:07:21,638 --> 00:07:25,236
<i>That's not me, it can't be.
It only looks like me!</i>
100
00:07:26,348 --> 00:07:29,103
<i>I better get out of here!
I've got to get out!</i>
101
00:07:29,163 --> 00:07:33,093
Five years ago we hustled you out of town,
for good. Now what are you here for?
102
00:07:34,253 --> 00:07:35,939
<i>You've got to play ball.</i>
103
00:07:35,999 --> 00:07:39,153
<i>You need time. You need more
time to find out about yourself.</i>
104
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,894
Riccardi's just playing dumb, Captain.
105
00:07:42,556 --> 00:07:44,122
Put him in the lockup.
106
00:07:44,498 --> 00:07:47,085
I'm finding about these...
discharge papers.
107
00:07:47,145 --> 00:07:49,358
If they're phonies, we'll pin a
real one on him.
108
00:07:49,418 --> 00:07:50,999
Just a minute, Lieutenant.
109
00:07:52,426 --> 00:07:56,627
I guess, maybe I didn't want the army
to know about Eddie...Riccardi.
110
00:07:57,317 --> 00:08:00,133
The only friends I have
know me as Eddie Rice.
111
00:08:00,916 --> 00:08:02,813
I'd like to keep it that way.
112
00:08:03,219 --> 00:08:05,945
That's probably the first honest
thing you've ever said.
113
00:08:06,005 --> 00:08:07,537
Pick up your things.
114
00:08:10,967 --> 00:08:14,008
Be Eddie Rice in some other
town, but not here.
115
00:08:14,068 --> 00:08:18,540
Now, we can't hold you, but...you step
out of line once and we step on you.
116
00:08:26,034 --> 00:08:28,278
Notice anything different
about him, Williams?
117
00:08:28,338 --> 00:08:31,138
Nothing! If Riccardi stays in town
there's gonna be trouble.
118
00:08:31,198 --> 00:08:34,210
I don't know. He had a strange
look about him.
119
00:08:34,667 --> 00:08:37,934
Send to Washington for a complete
report on Edward Rice.
120
00:08:37,994 --> 00:08:40,870
That Silver Star, you really
do something to get one.
121
00:08:40,930 --> 00:08:43,686
Yeah, buy it in a pawn
shop for two bits.
122
00:09:01,270 --> 00:09:04,944
Nina, my sweet!
My beautiful, lovely...
123
00:09:05,004 --> 00:09:07,609
All right, Nick! Let's keep
it all business.
124
00:09:10,063 --> 00:09:13,240
Who is it this time?
-Petey. Suspicion of robbery.
125
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:16,251
Get him out before they start
shifting him around. -Petey?
126
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:17,588
Him?
127
00:09:17,648 --> 00:09:19,726
He wouldn't steal his own shadow.
128
00:09:19,786 --> 00:09:22,056
That was William's gag to get
him out of the way.
129
00:09:22,116 --> 00:09:25,670
I wouldn't know. Bail's $1000.
-Inflation!
130
00:09:25,730 --> 00:09:27,823
That's the whole trouble these days.
131
00:09:28,847 --> 00:09:30,714
Alexander, he unhappy?
132
00:09:31,252 --> 00:09:34,188
Nick. Keep your mind on your business.
133
00:09:34,248 --> 00:09:36,233
Let Vince worry about his, huh?
134
00:09:36,293 --> 00:09:39,259
Sure, beautiful Sure.
Forget I mentioned it.
135
00:09:53,907 --> 00:09:55,970
Take my advice, you leave town.
136
00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:57,837
I've got things to do.
137
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,125
Adios, boy! You're on your own.
138
00:10:04,466 --> 00:10:05,941
Kelly never showed.
139
00:10:06,001 --> 00:10:07,071
Odd.
140
00:10:07,131 --> 00:10:08,606
We'll hear from him.
141
00:10:18,132 --> 00:10:20,074
One of the usual fronts?
142
00:10:21,098 --> 00:10:24,064
You have a lot of Jane Does, Nick.
Use one of them.
143
00:10:26,732 --> 00:10:28,328
Of course, there's a big difference
144
00:10:28,388 --> 00:10:30,617
between the Florida oranges
and the California oranges.
145
00:10:30,677 --> 00:10:33,131
At least that's what the Chamber
of Commerce in Florida says.
146
00:10:33,191 --> 00:10:35,661
And the Chamber of Commerce
in California says...
147
00:10:35,872 --> 00:10:37,874
Orange juice, please.
-Yes, ma'am.
148
00:10:41,153 --> 00:10:42,388
Eddie.
149
00:10:44,691 --> 00:10:47,281
I thought it was you from
across the street.
150
00:10:48,856 --> 00:10:49,940
Hello.
151
00:10:51,204 --> 00:10:53,794
Is that the only thing
you've got to say?
152
00:10:54,110 --> 00:10:56,640
Well, there's a lot more
I could say, but...
153
00:10:57,107 --> 00:10:58,311
but you...
154
00:10:59,299 --> 00:11:00,609
Let's see...
155
00:11:01,814 --> 00:11:03,425
Nacy Morgan?
156
00:11:03,711 --> 00:11:05,051
Nora Murphy?
157
00:11:05,292 --> 00:11:09,176
No, you don't look like Nora Murphy.
-What'd you come back for, Eddie?
158
00:11:10,216 --> 00:11:12,610
A man has a right to come
home, hasn't he?
159
00:11:14,552 --> 00:11:17,699
My car is across the street,
I'll take you there.
160
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:18,994
Sure!
161
00:11:19,175 --> 00:11:20,228
Thanks.
162
00:11:45,318 --> 00:11:47,089
Vince know you're back?
163
00:11:47,149 --> 00:11:48,360
Vince?
164
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,025
Should he?
165
00:11:51,762 --> 00:11:53,419
You oughta know.
166
00:12:02,797 --> 00:12:04,499
Thanks for the lift.
167
00:12:07,503 --> 00:12:08,828
Coming in?
168
00:12:09,264 --> 00:12:11,447
Who said this was the end of the road?
169
00:12:12,833 --> 00:12:15,091
Who's complaining? Not me.
170
00:12:40,205 --> 00:12:41,530
Checking in?
171
00:12:41,771 --> 00:12:42,870
Long?
172
00:12:44,466 --> 00:12:45,896
I don't know yet.
173
00:12:46,739 --> 00:12:48,019
Alone?
174
00:12:48,648 --> 00:12:49,672
Yes.
175
00:12:52,517 --> 00:12:55,393
Edward Rice...San Francisco.
176
00:12:58,702 --> 00:13:00,042
304.
177
00:13:03,234 --> 00:13:06,757
I'll throw the stuff in the room and
be right back. -If you say so.
178
00:13:29,744 --> 00:13:32,665
Hello? hello, this is Nina.
I want to talk to Vince.
179
00:13:32,725 --> 00:13:33,885
He's busy.
180
00:13:33,945 --> 00:13:36,203
Not too busy for what
I've got to tell him.
181
00:13:36,263 --> 00:13:37,479
<i>He's not here.</i>
182
00:13:37,539 --> 00:13:41,379
Look, let's not keep where he is a
secret it might upset your whole future.
183
00:13:41,439 --> 00:13:42,945
Put me through to him!
184
00:13:55,033 --> 00:13:56,719
You talk too much.
185
00:13:57,397 --> 00:13:59,189
Another treatment, Kelly?
186
00:14:00,453 --> 00:14:01,603
Any...
187
00:14:02,265 --> 00:14:04,750
Any second...breaks, Vince?
188
00:14:06,993 --> 00:14:09,176
I'm easy to do business with.
189
00:14:10,165 --> 00:14:11,520
If you talk...
190
00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:12,830
you live.
191
00:14:14,034 --> 00:14:16,865
All i want to hear is your
angle with Joe Williams.
192
00:14:19,271 --> 00:14:22,463
Give him a cigarette, Danny.
It'll relax him.
193
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:30,609
I'm...trusting you, Vince.
194
00:14:30,834 --> 00:14:32,792
Sure. Sure, Kelly.
195
00:14:33,474 --> 00:14:35,612
I told you we'd turn you loose.
196
00:14:35,672 --> 00:14:37,388
You understand how I...
197
00:14:37,569 --> 00:14:40,942
How a guy feels when he's been
kicked out of the organization?
198
00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:43,633
I know...
199
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:47,533
I shouldn't of been a sucker and
told Williams about the...
200
00:14:48,253 --> 00:14:50,828
...about the silver dollar.
-Forget that.
201
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,915
What did you tell him about this?
-Nothing!
202
00:14:56,455 --> 00:14:58,201
Nothing much, really.
203
00:14:59,044 --> 00:15:01,755
Vince!
-What did you tell him, Kelly?
204
00:15:01,815 --> 00:15:03,185
Really, Vince...
205
00:15:03,381 --> 00:15:04,931
Nothing important.
206
00:15:05,688 --> 00:15:06,757
Just...
207
00:15:07,178 --> 00:15:08,970
a little of this and...
208
00:15:09,527 --> 00:15:11,304
that about the...
209
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,532
about the slot machines and...
210
00:15:14,315 --> 00:15:16,333
and the take. But, I...
211
00:15:16,787 --> 00:15:18,564
I phonied the figures.
212
00:15:19,403 --> 00:15:22,550
Honest I did.
-These figures aren't phoney.
213
00:15:22,836 --> 00:15:24,447
Where'd you get 'em?
214
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,684
Snatched them out of your safe, Vince.
215
00:15:31,219 --> 00:15:33,192
Williams is waiting for 'em.
216
00:15:33,535 --> 00:15:37,359
He was going to bundle me out of town,
bring me back for the trial.
217
00:15:38,696 --> 00:15:42,083
But, I was gonna duck.
They never would of found me.
218
00:15:44,568 --> 00:15:46,480
That's the truth, Vince!
219
00:15:54,771 --> 00:15:56,021
Hello.
220
00:15:56,788 --> 00:15:58,264
Hello, Nina.
221
00:16:02,956 --> 00:16:05,242
You sure it's him?
-I was with him!
222
00:16:05,302 --> 00:16:08,524
First I saw him outside police
headquarters talking to Joe Williams,
223
00:16:08,584 --> 00:16:10,466
then I drove him to the Cortez.
224
00:16:10,689 --> 00:16:14,362
He cked in under the name
of Eddie Rice, room 304.
225
00:16:14,422 --> 00:16:15,552
Thanks.
226
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:37,164
You still want to take that trip, Kelly?
227
00:16:39,317 --> 00:16:41,560
You don't have to worry about me, Vince.
228
00:16:42,019 --> 00:16:43,028
Don.
229
00:16:44,194 --> 00:16:45,820
Big mouth Kelly.
230
00:16:46,257 --> 00:16:48,832
You think what he's got
may be contagious?
231
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:50,563
Very...catchy.
232
00:16:51,562 --> 00:16:54,648
What's your opinion, Don?
-Very, definitely.
233
00:16:56,621 --> 00:16:58,283
What can I do?
234
00:16:59,322 --> 00:17:01,686
The consultation's in agreement.
235
00:17:04,595 --> 00:17:05,769
Kelly!
236
00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:07,380
You're dead!
237
00:17:09,097 --> 00:17:10,527
Oh, and Kelly...
238
00:17:10,774 --> 00:17:14,749
When you get to where you're going,
have 'em give you a nice, even burn.
239
00:17:14,809 --> 00:17:17,579
Don't let them just fry you on one side.
240
00:18:01,054 --> 00:18:05,210
I'm sorry to bother you again, but..
has there been any sign of the girl yet?
241
00:18:07,876 --> 00:18:09,051
Thanks.
242
00:18:40,394 --> 00:18:42,743
Don't you believe in knocking on doors?
243
00:18:43,857 --> 00:18:45,814
Who are you? What do you want?
244
00:19:00,538 --> 00:19:02,661
So, that's where you've been hold up...
245
00:19:02,932 --> 00:19:04,498
Eddie Rice!
246
00:19:05,181 --> 00:19:08,990
No wonder I couldn't get a line on you.
Are you back sightseeing?
247
00:19:09,378 --> 00:19:10,854
Mr Rice?
248
00:19:13,052 --> 00:19:15,326
This supposed to be a free country?
249
00:19:15,684 --> 00:19:17,250
Free town?
250
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:18,951
Open to anyone?
251
00:19:19,011 --> 00:19:20,366
Not with me in it.
252
00:19:20,635 --> 00:19:23,240
You didn't waste much time
picking up with the cops.
253
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:27,395
Why should it worry you about
me talking to Williams?
254
00:19:27,455 --> 00:19:29,274
You've got me confused, Eddie.
255
00:19:29,771 --> 00:19:33,460
Only a sucker would walk back in
town after the deal you pulled.
256
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,979
Some things a fella has to...
257
00:19:37,401 --> 00:19:39,102
find out for himself.
258
00:19:40,096 --> 00:19:41,948
Not about you and me.
259
00:19:50,768 --> 00:19:53,283
I've been saving this for five years.
260
00:19:54,021 --> 00:19:57,378
Everyone in life has his bible,
this is mine.
261
00:19:58,978 --> 00:20:03,661
I take it out and read it every day. I read
it to remind me of a guy I grew up with.
262
00:20:03,917 --> 00:20:05,648
Got shoved around with.
263
00:20:06,277 --> 00:20:08,566
We used to take a lot of raps together.
264
00:20:09,439 --> 00:20:13,143
Some people would call a guy
like that a...a loyal friend.
265
00:20:13,968 --> 00:20:15,353
He was.
266
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:22,050
Until he turned into a dirty stool pigeon,
and let me take the rap for him!
267
00:20:38,866 --> 00:20:40,070
Eddie...
268
00:20:41,380 --> 00:20:42,811
Riccardi?
269
00:20:43,025 --> 00:20:47,105
My good friend who sold me out
to a cop named Joe Williams!
270
00:20:58,268 --> 00:21:00,541
Don't mess up his face too much.
271
00:21:03,876 --> 00:21:05,909
I ought to kill you, Eddie.
272
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:08,709
But, you're not worth taking
another rap for!
273
00:21:08,769 --> 00:21:11,058
In 24 hours...disappear!
274
00:21:11,935 --> 00:21:15,006
Otherwise, I might be tempted
to change my mind!
275
00:21:15,624 --> 00:21:17,205
Give him some air!
276
00:22:11,865 --> 00:22:14,153
<i>Why didn't the girl come back?</i>
277
00:22:15,523 --> 00:22:17,812
<i>What did she know about me?</i>
278
00:22:18,730 --> 00:22:20,808
<i>Why did she bring me here?</i>
279
00:22:21,847 --> 00:22:23,111
<i>Vince...</i>
280
00:22:24,060 --> 00:22:26,123
<i>Why didn't Vince kill me?</i>
281
00:22:27,402 --> 00:22:29,450
<i>Maybe I deserved it.</i>
282
00:22:30,625 --> 00:22:33,140
<i>Maybe Dr Kemble ought to know?</i>
283
00:22:34,224 --> 00:22:36,051
<i>I better tell him.</i>
284
00:22:37,226 --> 00:22:39,033
<i>I better call him.</i>
285
00:22:40,328 --> 00:22:41,908
<i>I better...</i>
286
00:22:44,659 --> 00:22:45,879
Hello.
287
00:22:46,391 --> 00:22:50,456
I want to put through a call, person
to person. Dr Kemble...
288
00:22:50,652 --> 00:22:53,392
Letterman Genral Hospital,
San Francisco.
289
00:22:54,435 --> 00:22:56,091
K-E-M-B-L-E
290
00:22:57,411 --> 00:22:58,736
Thank you.
291
00:23:14,170 --> 00:23:15,961
Hello, Dr Kemble?
292
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,812
When do you expect him back?
293
00:23:19,219 --> 00:23:20,920
Not till tomorrow?
294
00:23:22,121 --> 00:23:24,500
Never mind, I'll see him personally.
295
00:24:15,503 --> 00:24:18,780
Forget about Union Station.
Take me to 7 Braxton Avenue.
296
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:30,476
Wait for me.
297
00:24:51,762 --> 00:24:53,961
Thanks a lot Lou, for driving me home.
298
00:24:54,021 --> 00:24:57,393
Just a minute, darling.
I'll walk to the door with you.
299
00:24:58,990 --> 00:25:02,378
It's early, Nina. A little drink for
a nightcap won't hurt you.
300
00:25:02,589 --> 00:25:04,456
That's what you think.
301
00:25:04,516 --> 00:25:07,825
You could make me forget that
thousand I dropped tonight, Nina.
302
00:25:07,885 --> 00:25:11,182
I can forget a lot of things, Lou.
You, for instance.
303
00:25:11,242 --> 00:25:13,633
Good night.
-Just a minute, baby.
304
00:25:13,693 --> 00:25:16,328
I'd like a little receipt
for that grand.
305
00:25:19,246 --> 00:25:20,827
That's better.
306
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:25,539
That's your receipt. Good night.
307
00:25:45,117 --> 00:25:46,758
Now listen...
308
00:25:50,045 --> 00:25:51,461
Go ahead.
309
00:25:51,521 --> 00:25:53,237
Take a good look.
310
00:25:53,629 --> 00:25:58,055
If you came to tell me how Vince welcomed
you back, you've said it. So, goodbye!
311
00:25:58,673 --> 00:26:02,272
I want to know what you had
to do with me...in my life.
312
00:26:04,596 --> 00:26:06,057
And this.
313
00:26:10,473 --> 00:26:12,160
December the 24th,
314
00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:13,801
1943.
315
00:26:14,162 --> 00:26:16,120
Ah, that was a lovely Christmas.
316
00:26:16,903 --> 00:26:19,041
One I'll never forget.
317
00:26:24,136 --> 00:26:26,380
Only one of your presents!
318
00:26:29,297 --> 00:26:33,664
Sure, I told Vince Alexander
you're back. I work for him.
319
00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:39,946
This clipping...
320
00:26:40,955 --> 00:26:45,366
Why couldn't you testify at the trial?
-Oh, no routines, I've heard them all.
321
00:26:48,454 --> 00:26:51,436
Listen to me!
I'm just out of an army hospital
322
00:26:51,496 --> 00:26:54,507
with a piece of steel in my head
and no memory to go with it.
323
00:26:54,567 --> 00:26:57,756
I'm here to find out about myself and
I'm getting answers the hard way!
324
00:26:57,816 --> 00:27:00,677
I don't know you, Vince Alexander...
325
00:27:00,737 --> 00:27:05,055
or anybody called Eddie Riccardi!
All I know is one person, Eddie Rice! Me!
326
00:27:07,178 --> 00:27:09,391
You're the last person I can turn to.
327
00:27:10,472 --> 00:27:12,263
Please believe me.
328
00:27:12,850 --> 00:27:14,115
Help me.
329
00:27:16,584 --> 00:27:19,039
That's a very touching speech.
330
00:27:21,477 --> 00:27:23,901
You lost your memory.
331
00:27:24,564 --> 00:27:28,298
You don't know why I couldn't
testify at the trial.
332
00:27:28,529 --> 00:27:32,067
You've forgotten how you used me to
make sure Vince would go to prison
333
00:27:32,127 --> 00:27:33,829
so you'd be set free.
334
00:27:33,889 --> 00:27:37,966
But, if you're back to your old tricks
again I've got sad news for you,
335
00:27:38,026 --> 00:27:40,752
I tore up your raincheck
three years ago.
336
00:27:43,494 --> 00:27:45,587
I'm not your wife anymore.
337
00:28:05,380 --> 00:28:08,090
Now to the station?
-Back to the hotel.
338
00:28:47,065 --> 00:28:49,579
You act like a cop that just
lost a conviction?
339
00:28:49,639 --> 00:28:52,877
Maybe I have, take a look at these.
Fresh out of the photo lab.
340
00:28:54,339 --> 00:28:56,808
Sharks don't talk, the
fingerprints spell Kelly.
341
00:28:56,868 --> 00:28:59,413
The Coroner said he was dead two
hours before he hit the water.
342
00:28:59,473 --> 00:29:01,807
Too bad. With the information
Kelly had for us
343
00:29:01,867 --> 00:29:04,186
we could have put Vince
away for a long stretch.
344
00:29:05,335 --> 00:29:07,066
What's eating you, Joe?
345
00:29:07,563 --> 00:29:09,295
I was a smart cop.
346
00:29:09,355 --> 00:29:12,712
I put Petey away to get him off of
Kelly's tail, and this is what happens.
347
00:29:12,772 --> 00:29:14,594
I feel like I killed Kelly.
348
00:29:14,654 --> 00:29:16,897
Riccardi...think he's tied up in it?
349
00:29:16,957 --> 00:29:19,909
Walking back into town that day
could tie him up in anything.
350
00:29:20,237 --> 00:29:22,706
Is the case my baby?
-All yours.
351
00:29:24,916 --> 00:29:26,301
Now what?
352
00:29:26,361 --> 00:29:28,936
I figure we shouldn't keep
it a secret from Vince.
353
00:29:40,844 --> 00:29:43,087
Only six days in the week now, huh?
354
00:29:43,455 --> 00:29:46,557
How do you like that, the card
must have fell out.
355
00:29:46,617 --> 00:29:48,604
It was there yesterday. Nick...
356
00:29:48,664 --> 00:29:50,125
Who's Jane Doe?
357
00:29:50,185 --> 00:29:52,817
Please, Lieutenant. I don't look
at their birth certificate.
358
00:29:52,877 --> 00:29:55,075
Lots of people don't use
their right names.
359
00:29:55,135 --> 00:29:59,002
With me, a buck is a buck.
I don't ask questions.
360
00:29:59,318 --> 00:30:02,435
Before I'm through, Nick...
you'll be answering a few.
361
00:30:08,026 --> 00:30:12,377
It's gettin' so you can't tail a guy anymore
without having the cops jump on ya.
362
00:30:12,437 --> 00:30:14,666
This town's goin' to the dogs.
363
00:30:14,981 --> 00:30:18,143
Samson and me...
-Petey! Get that cat off the desk!
364
00:30:18,776 --> 00:30:22,133
I was just saying, Samson and
me could stand a vacation.
365
00:30:22,389 --> 00:30:25,340
You want us to blow town?
-That's just what I don't want.
366
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,047
Coke will set you up, and stay quiet!
367
00:30:28,107 --> 00:30:30,667
Well, sure Vince, sure.
Anything you say.
368
00:31:05,567 --> 00:31:06,922
Hello, Danny.
369
00:31:16,370 --> 00:31:18,327
Come in. Come in, Joe.
370
00:31:18,674 --> 00:31:22,543
Pull up a chair and rest your feet.
I hear you've had a busy day.
371
00:31:26,329 --> 00:31:29,099
I figured you would.
I was saving you for last.
372
00:31:30,183 --> 00:31:31,644
Should I...
373
00:31:31,930 --> 00:31:33,993
relax or call in my lawyer?
374
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:36,698
That depends on how nervous you are.
375
00:31:36,758 --> 00:31:39,529
I was always thought nervous
guys bit their nails?
376
00:31:39,589 --> 00:31:41,095
Now, let me see...
377
00:31:41,317 --> 00:31:44,675
Nick was a little bit hazy about
who Jane Doe was.
378
00:31:44,946 --> 00:31:47,144
I thought you might be able to tell me.
379
00:31:47,336 --> 00:31:49,113
Never heard of the girl.
380
00:31:49,173 --> 00:31:50,634
Then there's Petey.
381
00:31:50,694 --> 00:31:54,654
And how certain people got know where
and just when to bail him out.
382
00:31:54,714 --> 00:31:57,014
Now...nobody knows anything.
383
00:31:57,421 --> 00:31:58,912
But, we'll find him.
384
00:31:59,273 --> 00:32:01,863
We;ve got all exits out of town plugged.
385
00:32:03,697 --> 00:32:06,483
And I got a hunch he'll
be real cooperative.
386
00:32:06,769 --> 00:32:08,063
You see...
387
00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:10,698
I don't think he knows
anything about this.
388
00:32:11,090 --> 00:32:12,249
Kelly.
389
00:32:12,798 --> 00:32:15,162
He's gone and gotten himself killed.
390
00:32:15,915 --> 00:32:17,571
Just like Kelly...
391
00:32:17,842 --> 00:32:19,920
You never know what he'll do next.
392
00:32:20,191 --> 00:32:21,983
That goes for a lot of guys.
393
00:32:22,449 --> 00:32:23,910
Take you and...
394
00:32:24,482 --> 00:32:26,529
Then again, take Eddie Riccardi...
395
00:32:26,589 --> 00:32:29,962
You boys forgive and forget,
and back in business again.
396
00:32:31,037 --> 00:32:34,485
You and Riccardi got a lot in common,
why don't you ask him?
397
00:32:34,545 --> 00:32:36,352
At the moment, you're number one.
398
00:32:36,623 --> 00:32:40,281
And, it won't be any...manslaughter
charge and out in two years.
399
00:32:41,076 --> 00:32:43,048
I put you away this time...
400
00:32:43,334 --> 00:32:44,840
it'll be for keeps.
401
00:32:47,035 --> 00:32:50,031
You got all the answers figured
out, haven't you?
402
00:32:50,091 --> 00:32:52,636
I might have, sooner than you think.
403
00:32:53,959 --> 00:32:55,479
So sorry!
404
00:33:35,693 --> 00:33:39,292
Me, I never had a complaint.
You call my old boss.
405
00:33:39,352 --> 00:33:42,115
He'll tell you my bringing in 500
a night at the gambling tables
406
00:33:42,175 --> 00:33:44,344
was a small bag of tell.
407
00:33:45,169 --> 00:33:48,993
Oh, Mr Alexander! I just came in looking
for a job and I was telling Ms Martin...
408
00:33:49,053 --> 00:33:50,378
Get rid of her.
409
00:33:51,278 --> 00:33:55,238
Vince, we need some new talent...
-Okay! Okay! Come back at eight tonight.
410
00:33:55,298 --> 00:33:58,324
She'll tell you what to do.
-Oh, gee! Thanks!
411
00:34:01,806 --> 00:34:03,899
You know Eddie's still in town?
412
00:34:05,013 --> 00:34:06,172
Yes.
413
00:34:06,353 --> 00:34:08,024
Been around to see you?
414
00:34:09,667 --> 00:34:10,796
When?
415
00:34:11,534 --> 00:34:13,266
Late last night.
416
00:34:14,184 --> 00:34:16,548
Did he tell ya I gave him
24 hours to get out?
417
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,249
No.
418
00:34:19,872 --> 00:34:22,793
Well, I changed my mind.
I want him to stay.
419
00:34:23,049 --> 00:34:25,142
I want you to make sure he does stay.
420
00:34:26,876 --> 00:34:29,827
My job's to work the tables
for you here, Vince, and...
421
00:34:30,324 --> 00:34:34,961
I don't even mind setups like the one with
Petey or...other deals like that, but...
422
00:34:36,439 --> 00:34:37,613
Vince...
423
00:34:38,336 --> 00:34:40,534
Stay out of my personal life!
424
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:42,311
Listen you...
425
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,041
When Eddie dropped you, who picked
you up and gave you your health?
426
00:34:46,101 --> 00:34:49,053
Who gave you your job?
Everything you got?
427
00:34:49,459 --> 00:34:51,206
Vince Alexander!
428
00:34:52,806 --> 00:34:54,538
I won't do it, Vince.
429
00:34:54,598 --> 00:34:55,923
Forget Eddie.
430
00:34:55,983 --> 00:34:57,639
When I get through with him.
431
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,717
But, now you're gonna meet him.
432
00:35:00,715 --> 00:35:03,440
And, I want you to make sure
he does stay in town.
433
00:35:34,220 --> 00:35:35,566
What'll it be?
434
00:35:35,626 --> 00:35:37,854
Did five years make you
forget that easily?
435
00:35:37,914 --> 00:35:41,016
I told you...in five years you
can forget a lot of things.
436
00:35:41,076 --> 00:35:43,064
Something for the lady?
-Rob Roy, please.
437
00:35:43,124 --> 00:35:44,491
The same.
438
00:35:48,131 --> 00:35:50,932
What made you change your mind
about seeing me again?
439
00:35:54,897 --> 00:35:58,210
You know, finding out I was married
to you kind of threw me.
440
00:35:58,992 --> 00:36:02,169
It was even something the boys at
the hospital used to rib me about.
441
00:36:02,564 --> 00:36:05,605
They had me fixed up with a
wife and four or five kids.
442
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:09,881
They didn't know how close the
gag came to being true.
443
00:36:11,474 --> 00:36:13,672
You still don't believe me, do you?
444
00:36:21,056 --> 00:36:25,236
Maybe this'll convince you it was Eddie
Rice that rang your doorbell last night.
445
00:36:26,537 --> 00:36:29,909
Call Dr Kemble at Letterman's
Hospital in San Francisco.
446
00:36:31,007 --> 00:36:33,025
He'll tell you the whole story.
447
00:36:38,141 --> 00:36:39,767
Tha cigarette case...
448
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,323
Doesn't it mean anything to you?
449
00:36:47,468 --> 00:36:48,868
Should it?
450
00:36:54,926 --> 00:36:57,350
Suppose I did believe you, then what?
451
00:36:59,488 --> 00:37:03,569
Then, I'd try and make you forget that
Eddie Riccardi was ever in your life.
452
00:37:04,476 --> 00:37:06,403
You think you can do that?
453
00:37:07,216 --> 00:37:08,737
Eddie Rice can.
454
00:37:20,823 --> 00:37:22,570
Eddie, leave town.
455
00:37:24,533 --> 00:37:27,228
Now you're talking like Vince.
-Maybe I was yesterday.
456
00:37:27,288 --> 00:37:30,492
Don't ask me why, but go.
-Nina, I don't frighten easily.
457
00:37:30,552 --> 00:37:33,353
You can take that message back to Vince.
Tell him I'm staying!
458
00:37:33,413 --> 00:37:36,816
That's what he wants you to do. That's
why I'm here, to keep you from leaving.
459
00:37:36,876 --> 00:37:38,740
I'd hate to disappoint him then.
460
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,895
Eddie, don't be stubborn, I know Vince.
He doesn't do anything without a reason.
461
00:37:43,964 --> 00:37:45,530
Neither do I.
462
00:37:47,802 --> 00:37:52,590
Stay then! Get yourself beaten up again,
or killed. Do anything you want.
463
00:38:35,782 --> 00:38:38,267
Riccardi.
-Very interesting.
464
00:38:47,205 --> 00:38:48,936
Scotch over water.
465
00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:53,136
Lose something, Charlie?
466
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,406
Tell Nina Martin, Eddie wants to see her.
-Eddie who?
467
00:38:59,658 --> 00:39:01,103
Just Eddie.
468
00:39:01,630 --> 00:39:03,060
Wait here.
469
00:39:11,467 --> 00:39:12,943
What'll I need?
470
00:39:13,003 --> 00:39:15,653
A thousand might bring you luck.
-A thousand?
471
00:39:15,894 --> 00:39:17,475
Give me a thousand.
472
00:39:24,925 --> 00:39:27,891
A character called Eddie's outside,
wants to see you.
473
00:39:27,951 --> 00:39:29,412
Eddie here?
474
00:39:29,788 --> 00:39:31,204
Get rid of him!
475
00:39:31,425 --> 00:39:33,668
That's not what Vince had in mind.
476
00:39:43,422 --> 00:39:44,972
All right, come on.
477
00:39:53,097 --> 00:39:54,663
6...9...12!
478
00:39:54,919 --> 00:39:56,636
All bets down.
479
00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:04,549
It's a nice layout. Vince ought to be
able to pick up some fast money.
480
00:40:04,609 --> 00:40:07,063
You're crazy to come walking in here.
481
00:40:07,123 --> 00:40:09,273
Maybe I'm just hard to convince.
482
00:40:10,477 --> 00:40:12,374
My dressing room is back there.
483
00:40:13,925 --> 00:40:16,590
I'll be back before the
wheel stops turning.
484
00:40:34,853 --> 00:40:35,973
Yeah?
485
00:40:37,478 --> 00:40:38,939
Okay, thanks.
486
00:40:43,645 --> 00:40:45,813
So, she wanted to get rid of him.
487
00:40:47,179 --> 00:40:50,040
I wonder if that dame is trying
to pull a double cross.
488
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,129
Get down to the Golden Horn and pick up
Eddie Riccardi, you'll find him with Nina.
489
00:40:55,189 --> 00:40:56,270
Just him?
490
00:40:56,571 --> 00:40:57,746
Just him.
491
00:40:58,197 --> 00:41:00,110
I'll get around to her later.
492
00:41:03,747 --> 00:41:05,569
I started to leave...
493
00:41:05,794 --> 00:41:08,309
but I kept thinking about
everything you told me.
494
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,230
If I'd of left I'd been all the
things you said I was.
495
00:41:11,727 --> 00:41:13,232
So, I'm staying.
496
00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:17,505
And, I'm taking you out of here.
497
00:41:18,498 --> 00:41:19,673
Nina.
498
00:41:21,043 --> 00:41:23,436
We could have a decent life together.
499
00:41:26,553 --> 00:41:28,465
You got it all figured out.
500
00:41:31,452 --> 00:41:36,089
Well, you're not taking me anywhere.
You pushed me into this life and I like it.
501
00:41:36,481 --> 00:41:41,374
I'm top bait around here steering nice,
fat, pigeons to the gambling table.
502
00:41:41,434 --> 00:41:46,174
I'm one of Vince's kind now and I'm keeping
my life and my job just the way they are.
503
00:41:46,234 --> 00:41:48,026
No matter what I have to do!
504
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:49,934
Come on.
505
00:41:59,090 --> 00:42:00,144
Thanks.
506
00:42:10,804 --> 00:42:13,469
Now, how about some champagne?
507
00:42:14,389 --> 00:42:17,581
Excuse me for a minute, honey.
I forgot I got to call my wife.
508
00:42:32,729 --> 00:42:35,048
Williams, Homicide.
Yeah, Barnes.
509
00:42:36,509 --> 00:42:37,653
Yeah!
510
00:42:38,586 --> 00:42:39,881
Thanks a lot!
511
00:42:40,377 --> 00:42:41,898
What's exciting?
512
00:42:50,385 --> 00:42:54,646
I said, what's exciting? Or, don't
you want to wake me up?
513
00:42:55,138 --> 00:42:59,113
Barnes casing the Golden Horn for vice
intel, tells me Riccardi just walked in.
514
00:42:59,805 --> 00:43:01,266
Trouble maybe?
515
00:43:01,717 --> 00:43:04,924
I could think of plenty of reasons why
there might be for Eddie Rice.
516
00:43:05,478 --> 00:43:07,300
You'll hear from me later.
517
00:43:25,961 --> 00:43:28,189
How you coming with that
Kelly report, Ben?
518
00:43:28,249 --> 00:43:30,945
Just finishing up for you.
-Okay, I'll wait.
519
00:43:33,515 --> 00:43:36,586
Somebody must've believed in that
old gag about an apple a day.
520
00:43:36,646 --> 00:43:40,513
Yeah, but they didn't know it would pin
a murder on them. -Quite an appetite.
521
00:43:40,573 --> 00:43:43,253
Psychological, it creates
a false hunger.
522
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:50,156
Well, here you are, Joe.
I can go home now.
523
00:43:50,216 --> 00:43:53,454
Thanks a lot, Ben. See you tomorrow.
-Okay, see ya tomorrow.
524
00:44:06,875 --> 00:44:07,778
Yeah?
525
00:44:07,838 --> 00:44:10,970
I'm interested in Eddie Riccardi,
not in what's going on in there.
526
00:44:11,030 --> 00:44:13,680
We don't know from Riccardi.
-I do, open up.
527
00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:18,240
Place your bets, folks. Place your
bets. Bet high/low...odd or even.
528
00:44:38,711 --> 00:44:39,795
Yes?
529
00:44:39,990 --> 00:44:43,438
Miss Martin? Williams, Homicide.
May I come in please?
530
00:44:43,732 --> 00:44:44,982
Come in.
531
00:44:47,432 --> 00:44:50,820
Eddie was just picked up by Danny.
-Where'd he take him?
532
00:44:52,557 --> 00:44:54,424
You'll hear from me later.
533
00:45:14,826 --> 00:45:16,377
You know, Williams?
534
00:45:17,054 --> 00:45:19,524
I'm not used to cops with insomnia.
535
00:45:20,201 --> 00:45:22,791
What's on your mind?
-It won't take long.
536
00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:25,960
Danny picked up Eddie Riccardi.
Where are they?
537
00:45:27,537 --> 00:45:29,329
You're in an awful rut.
538
00:45:29,540 --> 00:45:31,497
Always asking questions.
539
00:45:31,557 --> 00:45:33,846
All right...let's start over.
540
00:45:34,581 --> 00:45:37,306
Eddie was at the Golden Horn
with Nina Martin.
541
00:45:37,366 --> 00:45:39,685
Suddenly, he wasn't there anymore.
542
00:45:40,208 --> 00:45:41,368
So...
543
00:45:41,578 --> 00:45:44,018
So...I don't mind waiting.
544
00:45:45,900 --> 00:45:48,053
While we kill a little time...
545
00:45:49,429 --> 00:45:51,176
This might interest you.
546
00:46:01,803 --> 00:46:05,733
And, after we pick up Riccardi...
we're going down to police headquarters.
547
00:46:06,034 --> 00:46:08,579
You're gonna have a manicure...on me.
548
00:46:10,294 --> 00:46:13,380
You know, you're gonna look awful
silly when I get through with you.
549
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,819
If I'm wrong...I'll apologize.
550
00:46:21,050 --> 00:46:23,264
Say hello, nothing more.
551
00:46:25,733 --> 00:46:26,862
Hello.
552
00:46:27,674 --> 00:46:31,408
Vince, we're at the shop. Do we
stay or bring Riccardi up there?
553
00:46:32,507 --> 00:46:34,238
Tell him you'll be down.
554
00:46:52,464 --> 00:46:53,699
Okay, Coke...
555
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,385
<i>Bring him up here.</i>
556
00:47:28,724 --> 00:47:30,530
What do you want now?
557
00:47:41,819 --> 00:47:44,605
Just when he was coming up
in the department.
558
00:49:14,591 --> 00:49:15,886
Car 9-4
559
00:49:15,946 --> 00:49:17,813
9-4 to Control-4.
560
00:49:17,873 --> 00:49:20,252
<i>Clear Frequency-4, this is an emergency.</i>
561
00:49:20,312 --> 00:49:23,126
Control-4 to 94, go ahead.
562
00:49:23,186 --> 00:49:25,099
<i>Car 94 to Control-4</i>
563
00:49:25,159 --> 00:49:29,209
<i>Notify the Homicide Bureau, we have found
the body of Lt Williams in his car.</i>
564
00:49:29,269 --> 00:49:31,133
At Sepulveda and Sunset.
565
00:50:17,423 --> 00:50:18,763
Give you a lift, son?
566
00:50:18,823 --> 00:50:21,485
Thanks, I had a little accident
back up a side road.
567
00:50:21,545 --> 00:50:24,556
I have to go to town, get a tow car.
-Anybody killed?
568
00:50:27,016 --> 00:50:29,561
No luck at all tonight.
Hop in.
569
00:50:39,349 --> 00:50:42,090
Bet you thought I wouldn't stop
to pick you up, didn't you?
570
00:50:42,150 --> 00:50:43,638
I didn't know.
571
00:50:43,698 --> 00:50:45,113
It's late.
-See...
572
00:50:45,173 --> 00:50:49,130
That's why I fooled you. Have me orders.
Pick up anybody, anytime.
573
00:50:49,747 --> 00:50:51,870
Green Acres Morticians policy.
574
00:50:52,094 --> 00:50:54,698
Live today...maybe a customer tomorrow.
575
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,400
Pays off too.
576
00:50:56,460 --> 00:50:59,848
Most people remember the nice things
you do for them while they're living.
577
00:50:59,908 --> 00:51:03,864
We sure don't get any complaints about our
service from them after they're dead.
578
00:51:03,924 --> 00:51:05,927
Their family, that is.
579
00:51:07,423 --> 00:51:09,441
That accident hurt you any?
580
00:51:10,992 --> 00:51:13,069
Got a match?
-Sure do.
581
00:51:19,645 --> 00:51:21,813
Police, ambulance and everything.
582
00:51:22,114 --> 00:51:24,312
I wonder if I'm losing any customers?
583
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:40,902
Finished with Joe's stuff yet?
-Still working on it.
584
00:51:43,326 --> 00:51:44,816
It's too bad...
585
00:51:45,434 --> 00:51:48,460
Joe's wife sure liked him
in that suit too.
586
00:52:13,311 --> 00:52:16,021
Any line on Riccardi yet?
-Nothing, Captain.
587
00:52:16,081 --> 00:52:19,710
Keep trying, he's the last one who
might of seen Joe. -Okay.
588
00:52:20,197 --> 00:52:21,718
Eddie Riccardi.
589
00:52:24,187 --> 00:52:26,445
Guess Williams was right after all.
590
00:52:26,701 --> 00:52:28,538
Riccardi or Rice.
591
00:52:28,826 --> 00:52:32,530
A Silver Star and a dumb look doesn't
change a no good heel.
592
00:52:33,147 --> 00:52:36,173
Attention all units!
Attention all units!
593
00:52:36,233 --> 00:52:40,175
Be on the lookout for the following
<i>described suspect, wanted for murder:</i>
594
00:52:40,551 --> 00:52:43,322
<i>Eddie Riccardi, alias Eddie Rice,</i>
595
00:52:43,589 --> 00:52:46,164
<i>White male, American,</i>
596
00:52:46,224 --> 00:52:49,341
<i>Age 33, 6 foot 2.</i>
597
00:52:49,729 --> 00:52:51,506
<i>190 lbs...</i>
598
00:52:51,957 --> 00:52:53,312
<i>Dark brown...</i>
599
00:52:53,659 --> 00:52:55,944
You phone the cops and do 'em a favor,
600
00:52:56,004 --> 00:53:00,024
where to find a dead cop and the guy
that did it, and what happens...
601
00:53:05,972 --> 00:53:08,035
The first stop is Nina Martin's.
602
00:53:08,276 --> 00:53:10,474
I want Eddie before the cops get him.
603
00:53:10,730 --> 00:53:12,913
Then they can have him for a present.
604
00:53:14,334 --> 00:53:15,915
And alive!
605
00:53:32,066 --> 00:53:33,843
Eddie!
-Shut up!
606
00:53:34,168 --> 00:53:36,065
Get those lights out!
607
00:53:37,285 --> 00:53:39,152
Eddie, what happened?
608
00:53:40,533 --> 00:53:43,951
You certainly did a neat job
of tying me into a murder.
609
00:53:44,011 --> 00:53:46,089
Joe Williams was killed tonight.
610
00:53:46,149 --> 00:53:47,901
You?
-I don't know.
611
00:53:47,961 --> 00:53:51,138
The last thing I remember was being slugged
over the head at Vince Alexander's.
612
00:53:51,198 --> 00:53:53,713
I know you think that...
-I haven't got time to think!
613
00:53:53,773 --> 00:53:57,811
All I want is a few bucks, your car and
you in my sight till I get out of here!
614
00:53:57,871 --> 00:53:59,874
Eddie, you've got to believe me!
615
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:01,335
Believe?
616
00:54:01,656 --> 00:54:03,508
Like you believed me?
617
00:54:03,885 --> 00:54:05,661
Give me the keys!
618
00:54:10,271 --> 00:54:14,017
Eddie! This is why I turned on you
tonight, to get you away from Vince.
619
00:54:14,077 --> 00:54:16,992
The keys are in the car, you go,
I'll try to stall them off.
620
00:54:17,224 --> 00:54:19,468
And get a bullet in the back of my head?
621
00:54:19,528 --> 00:54:22,404
Oh, Eddie! You've got to trust me,
it's your only chance.
622
00:54:24,815 --> 00:54:26,091
Quick!
623
00:54:26,444 --> 00:54:28,043
The garage.
624
00:55:25,770 --> 00:55:29,188
This is where you get out. -Go to the
police, Eddie. Before it's too late.
625
00:55:29,248 --> 00:55:32,400
With my fingerprints all over the
gun and all over Williams car?
626
00:55:32,460 --> 00:55:35,257
I wouldn't last long enough to walk
to the nearest police station.
627
00:55:35,317 --> 00:55:38,133
If I did what could I tell them?
Now out!
628
00:55:38,788 --> 00:55:41,737
You want me to go home and wait
for Vince to come back again?
629
00:55:41,797 --> 00:55:45,800
That's something Eddie Riccardo would
tell me to do, not Eddie Rice.
630
00:55:49,139 --> 00:55:50,606
All right.
631
00:56:06,538 --> 00:56:07,668
Stop.
632
00:56:11,312 --> 00:56:13,997
Keep your lights off and
the motor running.
633
00:56:57,233 --> 00:56:59,889
Well, now you've got a gun! What next?
634
00:57:01,213 --> 00:57:04,044
I didn't ask for any killings,
so I'm in the middle.
635
00:57:04,528 --> 00:57:07,711
But, I'm not going to be a clay
pigeon for Vince Alexander.
636
00:57:08,308 --> 00:57:10,513
You can't prove anything dead.
637
00:57:10,573 --> 00:57:14,597
That would make Vince very happy,
something I wouldn't want to let happen.
638
00:57:15,047 --> 00:57:18,758
Is there any place we could go, someone
you can trust to put us up for the night?
639
00:57:18,818 --> 00:57:20,299
I need time.
640
00:57:21,747 --> 00:57:23,404
Maybe there is.
641
00:57:23,464 --> 00:57:25,443
It's a long chance, but...
642
00:57:28,917 --> 00:57:31,763
You don't think you're going to
get away with this, do you?
643
00:57:32,276 --> 00:57:34,477
We're staying here till tomorrow.
644
00:57:42,766 --> 00:57:46,004
Stay away from that phone!
If it rings, let it keep ringing!
645
00:57:46,064 --> 00:57:48,953
Get rid of anybody who comes to
the door, I'll be right behind you
646
00:57:49,013 --> 00:57:50,845
in case you give the wrong answers.
647
00:57:55,517 --> 00:57:58,539
What about the girl's place?
-There and gone.
648
00:57:58,599 --> 00:58:02,705
Get a teletype out on her car immediately,
have it re-broadcast every half hour.
649
00:58:08,211 --> 00:58:10,661
I want roadblocks at all these points.
650
00:58:10,721 --> 00:58:12,705
I want the airport, the railroad station,
651
00:58:12,765 --> 00:58:15,536
all the bus terminals put
under a 24 surveillance.
652
00:58:15,596 --> 00:58:18,001
I want every hotel and
flophouse notified.
653
00:58:18,061 --> 00:58:20,818
They're in this town somewhere
and they're not getting out.
654
00:58:21,019 --> 00:58:22,354
One other thing...
655
00:58:22,414 --> 00:58:26,887
We picked up Riccardi's fingerprints on
that gun shop. He's got a gun now.
656
00:58:27,294 --> 00:58:29,421
Don't give him a chance to use it!
657
00:58:29,481 --> 00:58:31,284
All right, start moving.
658
00:58:31,344 --> 00:58:33,908
<i>The police tightened its dragnet
about the city today.</i>
659
00:58:33,968 --> 00:58:36,988
<i>Riccardi escaped just as the police
were ready to close in on him</i>
660
00:58:37,048 --> 00:58:39,197
<i>after they received an
anonymous phone call</i>
661
00:58:39,257 --> 00:58:42,292
<i>which led them to discover the murdered
body of one of their men today.</i>
662
00:58:42,352 --> 00:58:44,067
<i>Every available man...</i>
663
00:58:47,714 --> 00:58:49,958
We'll wait till it's dark
and get out of here.
664
00:58:50,018 --> 00:58:52,423
You couldn't arrange to
drop dead before then?
665
00:58:52,483 --> 00:58:55,606
Hazel, you've got to believe us.
Eddie didn't do it!
666
00:58:55,897 --> 00:58:57,936
He should still drop dead.
667
00:58:58,269 --> 00:58:59,604
Twice.
668
01:00:12,318 --> 01:00:13,477
Coke!
669
01:00:36,274 --> 01:00:38,401
Get me a couple of clean towels.
670
01:00:42,231 --> 01:00:43,771
It's pretty bad.
671
01:00:44,739 --> 01:00:49,052
I'll have you out of here in a minute,
we'll find a doctor. -Go to the police.
672
01:00:49,497 --> 01:00:51,448
Eddie, go to the police.
673
01:00:53,848 --> 01:00:55,961
Your car in the garage?
-Yes.
674
01:00:56,021 --> 01:00:58,704
Where are your keys?
-In my purse.
675
01:00:58,764 --> 01:01:00,288
Take care of her.
676
01:01:22,875 --> 01:01:23,843
Thanks.
677
01:01:23,903 --> 01:01:26,748
I'll have the doctor come right
in the moment he returns.
678
01:01:38,651 --> 01:01:40,602
Light me a cigarette.
679
01:02:02,498 --> 01:02:04,288
You're far away.
680
01:02:06,205 --> 01:02:07,614
How far?
681
01:02:09,418 --> 01:02:10,885
Five years.
682
01:02:11,545 --> 01:02:13,041
A lifetime.
683
01:02:14,259 --> 01:02:15,961
Beyond that, a blank.
684
01:02:17,162 --> 01:02:18,879
Me too, Eddie.
685
01:02:18,939 --> 01:02:21,270
Only, it's been a different
kind of a blank.
686
01:02:21,798 --> 01:02:24,453
It's being pushed back
to Eddie Riccardi.
687
01:02:24,937 --> 01:02:26,184
This.
688
01:02:26,811 --> 01:02:30,215
The whole past that keeps me
from being like other people.
689
01:02:30,992 --> 01:02:32,763
Now all that's left is
690
01:02:32,823 --> 01:02:36,460
wondering what it would be like if there
had only been an Eddie Rice.
691
01:02:38,540 --> 01:02:41,287
If I'd of just met you
for the first time.
692
01:02:43,087 --> 01:02:45,508
Eddie Rice can have that.
693
01:02:48,248 --> 01:02:50,610
Oh, you're...good, Eddie.
694
01:02:51,681 --> 01:02:53,368
You're good.
695
01:02:54,934 --> 01:02:57,622
You've taken away the hate in me.
696
01:02:58,176 --> 01:02:59,995
Destroyed it.
697
01:03:01,946 --> 01:03:03,912
You're...good, Eddie.
698
01:03:07,874 --> 01:03:10,573
When a baby wants to be born,
hours don't matter!
699
01:03:10,633 --> 01:03:12,554
7 poundsd 7ounces...a boy.
700
01:03:12,614 --> 01:03:14,549
Doctor, her shoulder...
701
01:03:29,779 --> 01:03:31,760
I can't treat gun wounds.
702
01:03:31,820 --> 01:03:34,679
She'll have to go to the police
emergency hospital.
703
01:03:34,739 --> 01:03:36,179
I don't think so.
704
01:03:36,239 --> 01:03:39,260
I'm sorry, but I've got to report
this to the police.
705
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:40,624
Doctor.
706
01:03:41,138 --> 01:03:43,191
That report to the police...
707
01:03:43,539 --> 01:03:44,918
It'll wait.
708
01:03:45,123 --> 01:03:47,368
If you want to pull that
trigger, go ahead.
709
01:03:49,535 --> 01:03:51,603
Police headquarters, please.
710
01:03:53,055 --> 01:03:56,092
Put that gun away! I said I was
going to call the police.
711
01:03:56,293 --> 01:03:57,775
Police headquarters?
712
01:03:57,980 --> 01:04:00,914
This is Dr Stacey, 93 Chestnut Street.
713
01:04:01,174 --> 01:04:03,492
Send an ambulance and a squad car.
714
01:04:09,003 --> 01:04:10,602
How bad is it?
715
01:04:14,534 --> 01:04:16,118
She'll be all right.
716
01:04:18,447 --> 01:04:20,262
You'd better leave.
717
01:04:27,035 --> 01:04:30,805
Eddie, I'm scared...I'm scared...
-Take it easy, you'll be all right.
718
01:04:30,865 --> 01:04:33,341
Not for me, for you.
-Listen...
719
01:04:33,531 --> 01:04:37,507
I'm leaving you for a little while.
I've got an idea, it might work.
720
01:04:37,567 --> 01:04:39,672
Something very important.
721
01:04:40,214 --> 01:04:44,395
You knew all about me. The people
I used to know, the places I went.
722
01:04:44,699 --> 01:04:46,855
Think for me, go back five years.
723
01:04:46,915 --> 01:04:51,110
Who was there? Just one person.
Give me the answers, quick!
724
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,289
What you say is my only chance,
the only chance I've got.
725
01:04:54,349 --> 01:04:58,231
The only one left is...Petey.
He can't be trusted with Vince.
726
01:04:58,291 --> 01:05:01,337
Where will I find him?
-Not him, he's... -Tell me!
727
01:05:01,759 --> 01:05:04,457
Two, three places on Main Street.
728
01:05:05,198 --> 01:05:07,034
Fourth and Main...
729
01:05:07,094 --> 01:05:10,091
And after Nina ran in front of him,
Coke never had a chance.
730
01:05:10,151 --> 01:05:11,748
That Eddie sure didn't miss.
731
01:05:11,808 --> 01:05:14,345
Coke took three, went right through
his breakfast, lunch and supper.
732
01:05:14,405 --> 01:05:16,575
Anybody come around, ask any questions?
733
01:05:16,635 --> 01:05:19,900
None I couldn't answer, Vince.
-Get back down and keep him company.
734
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,570
But...but, the police?
-That's exactly what I want!
735
01:05:22,630 --> 01:05:25,559
Tell him how Riccardi broke into your
apartment, found Coke there
736
01:05:25,619 --> 01:05:28,727
pulled his gun and fired. Now do
what I told you, just that!
737
01:05:29,035 --> 01:05:31,250
All right, Vince.
-Take her back!
738
01:05:35,048 --> 01:05:37,293
Eddie's got to find a doctor somewhere.
739
01:05:37,484 --> 01:05:39,581
And, if he does what I think, he'll...
740
01:05:39,772 --> 01:05:42,295
dump the girl...and start looking
for a hidewaway.
741
01:05:43,785 --> 01:05:44,973
Get going!
742
01:05:45,033 --> 01:05:48,039
Spread the news I got a personal
interest in Eddie Riccardi.
743
01:05:48,099 --> 01:05:50,870
I don't want anything to happen
to him...until I get there.
744
01:05:51,389 --> 01:05:53,443
Unless the cops get him first.
745
01:05:54,467 --> 01:05:57,841
You through with him, Doc?
-Yup. He was a fine specimen.
746
01:05:57,901 --> 01:06:00,041
Would have had a long life
if this hadn't happened.
747
01:06:00,101 --> 01:06:02,051
I'll send you my report in the morning.
748
01:06:05,694 --> 01:06:08,335
I'm sure you don't mind coming
downtown, Miss Downs?
749
01:06:08,395 --> 01:06:10,477
Well, I...
-I thought not.
750
01:06:12,659 --> 01:06:14,859
What'd you find?
-It was them all right.
751
01:06:14,919 --> 01:06:17,471
Riccardi left the doctor's office
about 30 minutes ago
752
01:06:17,531 --> 01:06:20,830
Notify Communications? -They're blanketing
the whole area. -The girl?
753
01:06:20,890 --> 01:06:25,608
County Jail Hospital. Still out, whether
she's playing it safe or just not talking.
754
01:06:25,668 --> 01:06:29,085
Keep Melon there, the minute she comes
out, I want to know. -Any ideas?
755
01:06:29,145 --> 01:06:31,970
Lots! We need Riccardi to
explain some of them.
756
01:06:32,157 --> 01:06:34,196
If he lives that long.
757
01:06:38,347 --> 01:06:41,120
Hello. I'm looking for Petey,
have you seen him?
758
01:06:42,691 --> 01:06:44,671
Do you know where to find him?
759
01:06:57,552 --> 01:07:00,780
<i>Nina said three or four places,
I must have hit twenty.</i>
760
01:07:01,245 --> 01:07:03,196
<i>And every answer the same.</i>
761
01:07:03,710 --> 01:07:04,810
<i>No.</i>
762
01:07:05,803 --> 01:07:08,605
<i>The shake of their head,
a frightened face.</i>
763
01:07:10,111 --> 01:07:14,043
<i>They knew where I could find what I was
looking for, but they wouldn't talk.</i>
764
01:07:14,483 --> 01:07:16,141
<i>They were scared.</i>
765
01:08:08,257 --> 01:08:11,660
But, Vince! Appreciate the fact
that at least I called you.
766
01:08:11,961 --> 01:08:14,015
I let him stay, it's another rap.
767
01:08:14,075 --> 01:08:17,623
Another rap, I get life! You've
got to appreciate that!
768
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,296
And I'd appreciate it if you'd
tell me where to find Petey.
769
01:08:24,044 --> 01:08:25,306
Right now!
770
01:08:25,366 --> 01:08:26,758
Sure, Eddie.
771
01:08:27,096 --> 01:08:28,152
Sure.
772
01:08:34,841 --> 01:08:36,822
Ocean Boulevard and 25th.
773
01:09:43,996 --> 01:09:46,490
Who's there? Who is it?
-Eddie.
774
01:09:47,355 --> 01:09:48,910
Eddie Riccardi.
775
01:09:49,277 --> 01:09:52,886
Oh, Eddie boy. Every cop in the
city is out gunning for you!
776
01:09:53,350 --> 01:09:55,403
Maybe you don't care if you live...
777
01:09:55,711 --> 01:09:57,604
I got a few more years left!
778
01:09:57,839 --> 01:09:59,526
Open the door, Petey.
779
01:10:00,083 --> 01:10:01,799
You're dead if you don't.
780
01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:04,769
All right, Eddie.
781
01:10:12,804 --> 01:10:15,914
You didn't think I'd leave you out
there in the cold, did you Eddie?
782
01:10:16,545 --> 01:10:20,550
Five years, no see! But, you sure got
a hot fire burning under you, huh?
783
01:10:21,019 --> 01:10:22,105
Yeah.
784
01:10:24,891 --> 01:10:26,900
You need a pal, a friend.
785
01:10:30,025 --> 01:10:32,240
Sure, I need a friend, Petey.
786
01:10:32,483 --> 01:10:36,263
Look, old friend... Will you...will
you put that mouthpiece away?
787
01:10:36,323 --> 01:10:39,153
Somehow I...I still believe they go off!
788
01:10:39,926 --> 01:10:42,669
And, Samson my cat, you remember my cat?
789
01:10:44,180 --> 01:10:46,439
He's not feeling too good again.
790
01:10:46,949 --> 01:10:49,545
You stay careful and
nothing will happen.
791
01:10:49,605 --> 01:10:53,110
Oh sure. Sure, Eddie. You're
talking to Petey, remember?
792
01:10:53,340 --> 01:10:55,746
Any objections to my moving in with you?
793
01:10:56,025 --> 01:10:58,416
I'll be gone, tomorrow or the next day.
794
01:10:58,476 --> 01:11:01,771
Oh, me? Turn away practically,
my own flesh and blood?
795
01:11:03,341 --> 01:11:04,822
Relax, Eddie.
796
01:11:08,491 --> 01:11:11,308
There you are, Eddie. Nothing's
too good for you.
797
01:11:12,355 --> 01:11:16,154
How about some food, Petey?
I haven't eaten all night.
798
01:11:16,536 --> 01:11:18,370
You haven't changed a bit.
799
01:11:18,590 --> 01:11:20,086
Always hungry!
800
01:11:20,146 --> 01:11:22,022
Still tied up with Vince?
801
01:11:24,002 --> 01:11:27,670
I do a little private eyeing on the side.
A job here, a job there.
802
01:11:28,007 --> 01:11:29,284
Nothing big.
803
01:11:31,150 --> 01:11:32,705
I'll telephone.
804
01:11:43,749 --> 01:11:47,358
Hello, friend? Petey! I got
a special customer.
805
01:11:47,828 --> 01:11:49,852
Yeah. Yeah, an old one.
806
01:11:50,881 --> 01:11:54,094
How about sending something over?
He's tired and hungry.
807
01:11:54,813 --> 01:11:56,778
A pot of coffee and a sandwich.
808
01:11:56,969 --> 01:11:58,011
Turkey.
809
01:11:58,266 --> 01:11:59,352
Tongue
810
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:01,684
Egg salad combination.
811
01:12:02,638 --> 01:12:04,442
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
812
01:12:05,543 --> 01:12:06,863
You got it.
813
01:12:12,752 --> 01:12:16,068
You see, Eddie? Everything's
just like old times.
814
01:12:16,655 --> 01:12:18,474
If you say so, Petey.
815
01:12:20,114 --> 01:12:21,948
I'm gettin' kinda sleepy.
816
01:12:22,271 --> 01:12:25,308
You just make yourself at home,
food will be along pretty soon.
817
01:12:25,368 --> 01:12:28,183
Vince has gotten to be a big
man the last five years.
818
01:12:28,675 --> 01:12:31,168
I'm really gettin' pretty tired, friend.
819
01:12:31,228 --> 01:12:33,457
Why don't you bring me
up to date, Petey?
820
01:12:33,517 --> 01:12:35,247
I'm really awful tired, friend!
821
01:12:35,307 --> 01:12:37,501
How long will it take Vince to get here?
822
01:12:37,971 --> 01:12:40,861
Eddie...Eddie, you...you embarrass me.
823
01:12:41,135 --> 01:12:43,834
I'll kill you if you don't give
it to me straight, Petey!
824
01:12:43,894 --> 01:12:47,047
Eddie...Eddie, don't talk like that.
Samson's sick!
825
01:12:47,543 --> 01:12:50,403
I'm telling you, Eddie!
-What are you telling me? How long?
826
01:12:50,463 --> 01:12:53,557
Five minutes? Ten? Fifteen minutes?
Twenty minutes?
827
01:12:54,096 --> 01:12:57,015
About...about fifteen minutes, Eddie.
828
01:12:57,323 --> 01:13:00,902
Vince puts you on the spot!
He's that way with all the boys!
829
01:13:01,162 --> 01:13:04,781
Blow Eddie! Take me with you.
You and me was always friends!
830
01:13:04,841 --> 01:13:08,273
You just stay in front of me and keep your
mouth shut and you won't get into trouble.
831
01:13:08,333 --> 01:13:11,265
Sure, Eddie! You got nothing
to worry about from me.
832
01:13:11,325 --> 01:13:14,361
Just stay my friend, Petey.
-Yeah, Eddie.
833
01:13:27,837 --> 01:13:29,935
You're retired, you can go home now.
834
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:32,601
Your friend want a ride?
-Not tonight.
835
01:13:34,995 --> 01:13:36,151
$2.80
836
01:13:36,711 --> 01:13:39,616
This will get you a thousand.
Come on, Petey.
837
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,005
Take care of Petey.
838
01:15:45,187 --> 01:15:46,434
Eddie!
839
01:15:46,625 --> 01:15:48,165
Let's get out of here!
840
01:15:49,661 --> 01:15:51,158
Go ahead, Petey.
841
01:15:51,610 --> 01:15:52,974
Thanks, Eddie.
842
01:15:54,148 --> 01:15:55,615
They're coming!
843
01:18:02,988 --> 01:18:04,191
Eddie.
844
01:18:04,792 --> 01:18:06,274
Can you hear me?
845
01:18:09,079 --> 01:18:10,898
We can make a break.
846
01:18:11,558 --> 01:18:13,319
Cover for each other.
847
01:18:14,096 --> 01:18:15,739
I got a place.
848
01:18:17,148 --> 01:18:18,820
You and me, Eddie.
849
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,342
We'll start up again.
850
01:18:22,914 --> 01:18:25,056
Just like old times.
851
01:18:30,072 --> 01:18:31,671
I got money, Eddie.
852
01:18:32,992 --> 01:18:34,327
Big money!
853
01:18:37,521 --> 01:18:39,355
Samson! Samson!
854
01:18:39,986 --> 01:18:41,159
Samson!
855
01:18:43,096 --> 01:18:44,841
Petey! Come back!
856
01:18:46,807 --> 01:18:47,908
Samson.
857
01:18:48,318 --> 01:18:50,446
Samson, baby. Samson.
858
01:19:47,773 --> 01:19:50,091
Riccardi! Alexander!
859
01:19:50,292 --> 01:19:53,813
We'll give you three minutes to come out.
We're gonna start counting.
860
01:19:54,135 --> 01:19:57,920
At the end of three minutes if you're
not out, we're coming to get you!
861
01:19:58,429 --> 01:20:00,600
This is your last chance, Eddie.
862
01:20:01,862 --> 01:20:04,121
There's just you and me left now.
863
01:20:04,181 --> 01:20:05,676
No deal, Vince.
864
01:20:06,455 --> 01:20:08,538
I know you killed Joe Williams.
865
01:20:08,978 --> 01:20:10,357
Okay...
866
01:20:11,516 --> 01:20:13,071
No deals.
867
01:21:51,795 --> 01:21:54,993
We want you, Riccardi..
Alive, Alexander!
868
01:21:55,595 --> 01:21:58,646
If you're in there and not wounded,
bring Riccardi out.
869
01:21:59,653 --> 01:22:03,761
You, Riccardi! If you're alone, come
out with your hands in the air!
870
01:22:06,712 --> 01:22:09,176
Here's when you and I part company.
871
01:22:09,396 --> 01:22:12,081
You're gonna get paid off in full.
872
01:22:41,345 --> 01:22:43,574
Thanks for bringing him out, Vince.
873
01:22:43,853 --> 01:22:47,169
Now, drop your gun.
I said drop your gun, Vince!
874
01:22:49,233 --> 01:22:51,932
Eddie will take what I
got first, Anderson!
875
01:22:54,015 --> 01:22:56,568
All police officers hold your fire!
876
01:22:57,552 --> 01:22:59,532
Don't be crazy, Alexander.
877
01:22:59,899 --> 01:23:02,774
There have been enough people killed.
Give yourself up.
878
01:23:02,834 --> 01:23:04,491
No bargains, Anderson!
879
01:23:04,551 --> 01:23:06,487
You want Riccardi alive...
880
01:23:06,547 --> 01:23:07,866
I want out!
881
01:23:07,926 --> 01:23:10,682
What guarantee have I got that
you won't kill Riccardi?
882
01:23:10,742 --> 01:23:13,250
You don't!
-Be sensible, Alexander.
883
01:23:13,979 --> 01:23:16,854
If we let you out now,
we'll get you later.
884
01:23:17,089 --> 01:23:19,040
You'll be dead before morning.
885
01:23:19,245 --> 01:23:21,930
You got 30 seconds to make
up your mind, Anderson!
886
01:23:22,688 --> 01:23:24,053
I go...
887
01:23:24,361 --> 01:23:26,415
or Riccardi gets it in the back!
888
01:23:29,595 --> 01:23:31,388
Sat down, Eddie! Don't move!
889
01:24:05,464 --> 01:24:06,711
Is he dead?
890
01:24:06,771 --> 01:24:09,234
He will be if we don't get
him to a hospital.
891
01:24:15,716 --> 01:24:19,090
That taxi driver must have really
gotten to you in a hurry.
892
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,980
He did, asking for a $1000 reward.
893
01:24:22,337 --> 01:24:26,826
And all the questions you want to ask...
I called Dr Kemble from San Francisco.
894
01:24:27,149 --> 01:24:31,242
We knew Vince killed Jow Williams,
we found his blood on Joe's clothing.
895
01:24:31,604 --> 01:24:34,435
It matched up with our
lab files, yours didn't.
896
01:24:34,740 --> 01:24:37,351
And, Hazel told us the truth about Coke.
897
01:24:37,747 --> 01:24:41,254
Now, just get well. We'll finish
our business later.
898
01:24:42,217 --> 01:24:43,391
Nina...
899
01:24:43,451 --> 01:24:45,782
She's fine...in the waiting room.
900
01:25:05,063 --> 01:25:08,173
You shouldn't kiss a guy like
that when he's sick in bed.
901
01:25:10,205 --> 01:25:14,254
Well, I've been waiting outside all the
time. They wouldn't tell me anything.
902
01:25:14,314 --> 01:25:15,970
I was afraid...
903
01:25:17,151 --> 01:25:18,647
It's all right.
904
01:25:19,674 --> 01:25:21,170
We'll go away.
905
01:25:21,230 --> 01:25:24,222
We'll find that...crazy world of yours.
906
01:25:25,698 --> 01:25:27,151
Sure.
907
01:25:30,408 --> 01:25:32,373
There's only one thing...
908
01:25:33,675 --> 01:25:35,494
You'll always be...
909
01:25:35,758 --> 01:25:37,298
Eddie Rice.
910
01:25:38,853 --> 01:25:40,540
For the rest of my life.
911
01:25:40,990 --> 01:25:43,059
I have the doc's word for him.
912
01:25:44,673 --> 01:25:46,110
Come here.

After sustaining a head wound in combat, decorated World War II veteran Eddie Rice (John Payne) is treated at a San Francisco military hospital for a permanent form of amnesia. This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.
Rice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely.

1
00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556
This is the Letterman General Hosiptal
at San Francisco, California.
2
00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219
For those outside these gates the
war is over, a thing of the past.
3
00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888
For those behind these gates there's a
grim, hard, bitter fight still going on.
4
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518
Take one case, the case
of Eddie Rice, age 33.
5
00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206
Enlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.
Holder of the Silver Star, but today...
6
00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026
A name and date number, a medical file.
For five years a chart on a hospital bed.
7
00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340
A victim of amnesia.
A mind with a blocked out past.
8
00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127
Where were you born, Eddie?
Who are your parents?
9
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912
Any brothers? Sisters?
10
00:01:54,277 --> 00:01:58,775
Where did you go to school?
What's your trade? Profession?
11
00:01:59,433 --> 00:02:01,748
Are you rich?
Poor?
12
00:02:02,051 --> 00:02:03,689
Got a girl?
13
00:02:03,915 --> 00:02:05,289
Married?
14
00:02:05,349 --> 00:02:06,869
I don't know.
15
00:02:07,378 --> 00:02:09,015
I don't know!
16
00:02:09,824 --> 00:02:11,537
I can't remember.
17
00:02:12,444 --> 00:02:14,571
I just can't remember, doctor.
18
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:30,922
You had me open. What did you quit for?
-We did the best we could, Eddie.
19
00:02:31,218 --> 00:02:33,439
It'll just have to stay there.
20
00:02:34,606 --> 00:02:38,483
Is that final?
-Unless you want your name on a headstone.
21
00:02:38,543 --> 00:02:43,592
That shrapnel's too deep in your brain.
Scar tissue has grown all around it.
22
00:02:43,652 --> 00:02:46,980
Believe me, we tried.
-Yeah, I guess you did.
23
00:02:48,391 --> 00:02:52,551
Where do I go from here?
-Eddie, there are two kinds of amnesia:
24
00:02:52,611 --> 00:02:54,895
psychological and organic.
25
00:02:55,178 --> 00:03:00,240
The psychological form is temporary, but
it can be cured through psychotherapy.
26
00:03:01,016 --> 00:03:03,876
Yours is organic, it's permanent.
27
00:03:04,347 --> 00:03:07,772
That piece of steel in your brain
has blocked out your memory.
28
00:03:07,832 --> 00:03:10,863
Which doesn't leave me much
of a future, does it?
29
00:03:10,923 --> 00:03:15,071
Of course it does, physically
you're normal and healthy.
30
00:03:15,131 --> 00:03:17,771
You've received the maximum
medical benefits
31
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:22,559
You've completed training courses that make
you fit to hold down a job and face life.
32
00:03:23,499 --> 00:03:26,540
With no address, no next
of kin, nothing.
33
00:03:27,489 --> 00:03:29,567
Enlisted from Los Angeles...
34
00:03:29,627 --> 00:03:32,397
Intelligence ran that down
for us, remember?
35
00:03:32,867 --> 00:03:35,818
Oh sure, there were a lot of
people named Rice there...
36
00:03:36,026 --> 00:03:37,682
but not this Eddie Rice.
37
00:03:37,742 --> 00:03:41,777
But, Army Intelligence didn't mow
Los Angeles lawns as a kid, Eddie.
38
00:03:41,837 --> 00:03:44,292
They didn't trade at the corner market.
39
00:03:44,352 --> 00:03:48,775
They didn't work with people in a factory,
in an office, as you might have done.
40
00:03:48,986 --> 00:03:50,136
Now...
41
00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:54,081
If you went down there...and ran
into somebody who knew you,
42
00:03:54,141 --> 00:03:55,918
just one person...
43
00:03:56,384 --> 00:03:57,694
Yes...
44
00:03:58,992 --> 00:04:01,702
If I ran into just one person
who knew me.
45
00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:03,689
One guy...
46
00:04:04,785 --> 00:04:07,149
Who would come up to me and say:
47
00:04:07,616 --> 00:04:08,775
"Eddie."
48
00:04:08,986 --> 00:04:10,491
"Eddie Rice."
49
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:12,253
"How have you been?"
50
00:04:12,581 --> 00:04:14,132
"Where have you been?"
51
00:04:14,192 --> 00:04:15,577
That's it, Eddie.
52
00:04:15,637 --> 00:04:18,766
And then, they'd tell me about
someone else I used to know.
53
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:21,626
And, I'd meet somebody else.
54
00:04:22,635 --> 00:04:24,141
And another...
55
00:04:25,342 --> 00:04:26,908
And another...
56
00:04:57,774 --> 00:05:00,996
<i>Sure, it scares you to go out into
a world you don't remember...</i>
57
00:05:01,484 --> 00:05:02,959
<i>but you're here now.</i>
58
00:05:03,742 --> 00:05:05,473
<i>It'll be a new life.</i>
59
00:05:05,805 --> 00:05:07,295
<i>A new start.</i>
60
00:05:08,231 --> 00:05:10,189
<i>Find yourself a place to live.</i>
61
00:05:10,957 --> 00:05:12,613
<i>Get yourself a job.</i>
62
00:05:13,290 --> 00:05:14,540
<i>Get going.</i>
63
00:05:15,353 --> 00:05:16,919
<i>Get going, Eddie!</i>
64
00:05:19,198 --> 00:05:20,357
Eddie!
65
00:05:20,417 --> 00:05:22,736
You know, it's a small world, Eddie.
66
00:05:22,796 --> 00:05:25,266
We came down here to pick
up a little of one thing,
67
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:28,650
and we ran into a little of another!
-A lot of us thought you were dead.
68
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:32,851
Yes, and...those that didn't hoped you
were. What are you doing in town?
69
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,642
I'm just in from San Francisco.
70
00:05:36,702 --> 00:05:40,060
I didn't ask you that.
-He asked you what you were doing in town.
71
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,354
I cam here to look up some...people.
72
00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:45,989
Funny, I...I had a feeling that was it.
73
00:05:46,049 --> 00:05:48,443
Anderson one of them?
-Anderson?
74
00:05:49,719 --> 00:05:50,698
Maybe.
75
00:05:50,758 --> 00:05:54,251
I think you're lying, Eddie. I don't think you
were gonna look up Anderson at all.
76
00:05:54,311 --> 00:05:57,458
Barrett, do you think he was gonna
look up Anderson? -No, Joe.
77
00:05:57,699 --> 00:06:00,108
Not Anderson.
-I'll tell you what...
78
00:06:00,168 --> 00:06:02,737
I got a car and nothing
to do for a while...
79
00:06:02,797 --> 00:06:05,478
Let's go see Anderson together.
Any objections?
80
00:06:07,616 --> 00:06:09,016
No objections.
81
00:06:09,076 --> 00:06:11,256
Stick around, Kelly may still show.
82
00:06:11,452 --> 00:06:12,506
Let's go.
83
00:06:35,122 --> 00:06:37,667
'Honorable discharge of Edward Rice.'
84
00:06:41,972 --> 00:06:43,568
What's the gimmick?
85
00:06:44,110 --> 00:06:46,399
If you'd put away your blackjacks
long enough
86
00:06:46,459 --> 00:06:48,431
maybe I could get it through
your heads that...
87
00:06:48,491 --> 00:06:50,714
I don't know what you're talking about.
88
00:06:50,774 --> 00:06:52,912
You got yourself a sense
of humor, Eddie.
89
00:06:52,972 --> 00:06:56,010
You think you come back here with
a dumb look and a Silver Star...
90
00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:58,958
That changes a no good heel?
-But, I'm trying to tell you that...
91
00:06:59,018 --> 00:07:01,382
You don't have to tell us
anything about yourself.
92
00:07:01,442 --> 00:07:03,881
We got it all down in black and white.
93
00:07:06,019 --> 00:07:07,630
Read it, Riccardi.
94
00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:09,313
We didn't dream it up.
95
00:07:09,795 --> 00:07:12,355
Possession of a weapon
with intent to kill.
96
00:07:12,882 --> 00:07:14,553
Suspicion of murder.
97
00:07:17,184 --> 00:07:18,566
<i>Riccardi...</i>
98
00:07:19,274 --> 00:07:20,960
<i>Eddie Riccardi.</i>
99
00:07:21,638 --> 00:07:25,236
<i>That's not me, it can't be.
It only looks like me!</i>
100
00:07:26,348 --> 00:07:29,103
<i>I better get out of here!
I've got to get out!</i>
101
00:07:29,163 --> 00:07:33,093
Five years ago we hustled you out of town,
for good. Now what are you here for?
102
00:07:34,253 --> 00:07:35,939
<i>You've got to play ball.</i>
103
00:07:35,999 --> 00:07:39,153
<i>You need time. You need more
time to find out about yourself.</i>
104
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,894
Riccardi's just playing dumb, Captain.
105
00:07:42,556 --> 00:07:44,122
Put him in the lockup.
106
00:07:44,498 --> 00:07:47,085
I'm finding about these...
discharge papers.
107
00:07:47,145 --> 00:07:49,358
If they're phonies, we'll pin a
real one on him.
108
00:07:49,418 --> 00:07:50,999
Just a minute, Lieutenant.
109
00:07:52,426 --> 00:07:56,627
I guess, maybe I didn't want the army
to know about Eddie...Riccardi.
110
00:07:57,317 --> 00:08:00,133
The only friends I have
know me as Eddie Rice.
111
00:08:00,916 --> 00:08:02,813
I'd like to keep it that way.
112
00:08:03,219 --> 00:08:05,945
That's probably the first honest
thing you've ever said.
113
00:08:06,005 --> 00:08:07,537
Pick up your things.
114
00:08:10,967 --> 00:08:14,008
Be Eddie Rice in some other
town, but not here.
115
00:08:14,068 --> 00:08:18,540
Now, we can't hold you, but...you step
out of line once and we step on you.
116
00:08:26,034 --> 00:08:28,278
Notice anything different
about him, Williams?
117
00:08:28,338 --> 00:08:31,138
Nothing! If Riccardi stays in town
there's gonna be trouble.
118
00:08:31,198 --> 00:08:34,210
I don't know. He had a strange
look about him.
119
00:08:34,667 --> 00:08:37,934
Send to Washington for a complete
report on Edward Rice.
120
00:08:37,994 --> 00:08:40,870
That Silver Star, you really
do something to get one.
121
00:08:40,930 --> 00:08:43,686
Yeah, buy it in a pawn
shop for two bits.
122
00:09:01,270 --> 00:09:04,944
Nina, my sweet!
My beautiful, lovely...
123
00:09:05,004 --> 00:09:07,609
All right, Nick! Let's keep
it all business.
124
00:09:10,063 --> 00:09:13,240
Who is it this time?
-Petey. Suspicion of robbery.
125
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:16,251
Get him out before they start
shifting him around. -Petey?
126
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:17,588
Him?
127
00:09:17,648 --> 00:09:19,726
He wouldn't steal his own shadow.
128
00:09:19,786 --> 00:09:22,056
That was William's gag to get
him out of the way.
129
00:09:22,116 --> 00:09:25,670
I wouldn't know. Bail's $1000.
-Inflation!
130
00:09:25,730 --> 00:09:27,823
That's the whole trouble these days.
131
00:09:28,847 --> 00:09:30,714
Alexander, he unhappy?
132
00:09:31,252 --> 00:09:34,188
Nick. Keep your mind on your business.
133
00:09:34,248 --> 00:09:36,233
Let Vince worry about his, huh?
134
00:09:36,293 --> 00:09:39,259
Sure, beautiful Sure.
Forget I mentioned it.
135
00:09:53,907 --> 00:09:55,970
Take my advice, you leave town.
136
00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:57,837
I've got things to do.
137
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,125
Adios, boy! You're on your own.
138
00:10:04,466 --> 00:10:05,941
Kelly never showed.
139
00:10:06,001 --> 00:10:07,071
Odd.
140
00:10:07,131 --> 00:10:08,606
We'll hear from him.
141
00:10:18,132 --> 00:10:20,074
One of the usual fronts?
142
00:10:21,098 --> 00:10:24,064
You have a lot of Jane Does, Nick.
Use one of them.
143
00:10:26,732 --> 00:10:28,328
Of course, there's a big difference
144
00:10:28,388 --> 00:10:30,617
between the Florida oranges
and the California oranges.
145
00:10:30,677 --> 00:10:33,131
At least that's what the Chamber
of Commerce in Florida says.
146
00:10:33,191 --> 00:10:35,661
And the Chamber of Commerce
in California says...
147
00:10:35,872 --> 00:10:37,874
Orange juice, please.
-Yes, ma'am.
148
00:10:41,153 --> 00:10:42,388
Eddie.
149
00:10:44,691 --> 00:10:47,281
I thought it was you from
across the street.
150
00:10:48,856 --> 00:10:49,940
Hello.
151
00:10:51,204 --> 00:10:53,794
Is that the only thing
you've got to say?
152
00:10:54,110 --> 00:10:56,640
Well, there's a lot more
I could say, but...
153
00:10:57,107 --> 00:10:58,311
but you...
154
00:10:59,299 --> 00:11:00,609
Let's see...
155
00:11:01,814 --> 00:11:03,425
Nacy Morgan?
156
00:11:03,711 --> 00:11:05,051
Nora Murphy?
157
00:11:05,292 --> 00:11:09,176
No, you don't look like Nora Murphy.
-What'd you come back for, Eddie?
158
00:11:10,216 --> 00:11:12,610
A man has a right to come
home, hasn't he?
159
00:11:14,552 --> 00:11:17,699
My car is across the street,
I'll take you there.
160
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:18,994
Sure!
161
00:11:19,175 --> 00:11:20,228
Thanks.
162
00:11:45,318 --> 00:11:47,089
Vince know you're back?
163
00:11:47,149 --> 00:11:48,360
Vince?
164
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,025
Should he?
165
00:11:51,762 --> 00:11:53,419
You oughta know.
166
00:12:02,797 --> 00:12:04,499
Thanks for the lift.
167
00:12:07,503 --> 00:12:08,828
Coming in?
168
00:12:09,264 --> 00:12:11,447
Who said this was the end of the road?
169
00:12:12,833 --> 00:12:15,091
Who's complaining? Not me.
170
00:12:40,205 --> 00:12:41,530
Checking in?
171
00:12:41,771 --> 00:12:42,870
Long?
172
00:12:44,466 --> 00:12:45,896
I don't know yet.
173
00:12:46,739 --> 00:12:48,019
Alone?
174
00:12:48,648 --> 00:12:49,672
Yes.
175
00:12:52,517 --> 00:12:55,393
Edward Rice...San Francisco.
176
00:12:58,702 --> 00:13:00,042
304.
177
00:13:03,234 --> 00:13:06,757
I'll throw the stuff in the room and
be right back. -If you say so.
178
00:13:29,744 --> 00:13:32,665
Hello? hello, this is Nina.
I want to talk to Vince.
179
00:13:32,725 --> 00:13:33,885
He's busy.
180
00:13:33,945 --> 00:13:36,203
Not too busy for what
I've got to tell him.
181
00:13:36,263 --> 00:13:37,479
<i>He's not here.</i>
182
00:13:37,539 --> 00:13:41,379
Look, let's not keep where he is a
secret it might upset your whole future.
183
00:13:41,439 --> 00:13:42,945
Put me through to him!
184
00:13:55,033 --> 00:13:56,719
You talk too much.
185
00:13:57,397 --> 00:13:59,189
Another treatment, Kelly?
186
00:14:00,453 --> 00:14:01,603
Any...
187
00:14:02,265 --> 00:14:04,750
Any second...breaks, Vince?
188
00:14:06,993 --> 00:14:09,176
I'm easy to do business with.
189
00:14:10,165 --> 00:14:11,520
If you talk...
190
00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:12,830
you live.
191
00:14:14,034 --> 00:14:16,865
All i want to hear is your
angle with Joe Williams.
192
00:14:19,271 --> 00:14:22,463
Give him a cigarette, Danny.
It'll relax him.
193
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:30,609
I'm...trusting you, Vince.
194
00:14:30,834 --> 00:14:32,792
Sure. Sure, Kelly.
195
00:14:33,474 --> 00:14:35,612
I told you we'd turn you loose.
196
00:14:35,672 --> 00:14:37,388
You understand how I...
197
00:14:37,569 --> 00:14:40,942
How a guy feels when he's been
kicked out of the organization?
198
00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:43,633
I know...
199
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:47,533
I shouldn't of been a sucker and
told Williams about the...
200
00:14:48,253 --> 00:14:50,828
...about the silver dollar.
-Forget that.
201
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,915
What did you tell him about this?
-Nothing!
202
00:14:56,455 --> 00:14:58,201
Nothing much, really.
203
00:14:59,044 --> 00:15:01,755
Vince!
-What did you tell him, Kelly?
204
00:15:01,815 --> 00:15:03,185
Really, Vince...
205
00:15:03,381 --> 00:15:04,931
Nothing important.
206
00:15:05,688 --> 00:15:06,757
Just...
207
00:15:07,178 --> 00:15:08,970
a little of this and...
208
00:15:09,527 --> 00:15:11,304
that about the...
209
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,532
about the slot machines and...
210
00:15:14,315 --> 00:15:16,333
and the take. But, I...
211
00:15:16,787 --> 00:15:18,564
I phonied the figures.
212
00:15:19,403 --> 00:15:22,550
Honest I did.
-These figures aren't phoney.
213
00:15:22,836 --> 00:15:24,447
Where'd you get 'em?
214
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,684
Snatched them out of your safe, Vince.
215
00:15:31,219 --> 00:15:33,192
Williams is waiting for 'em.
216
00:15:33,535 --> 00:15:37,359
He was going to bundle me out of town,
bring me back for the trial.
217
00:15:38,696 --> 00:15:42,083
But, I was gonna duck.
They never would of found me.
218
00:15:44,568 --> 00:15:46,480
That's the truth, Vince!
219
00:15:54,771 --> 00:15:56,021
Hello.
220
00:15:56,788 --> 00:15:58,264
Hello, Nina.
221
00:16:02,956 --> 00:16:05,242
You sure it's him?
-I was with him!
222
00:16:05,302 --> 00:16:08,524
First I saw him outside police
headquarters talking to Joe Williams,
223
00:16:08,584 --> 00:16:10,466
then I drove him to the Cortez.
224
00:16:10,689 --> 00:16:14,362
He cked in under the name
of Eddie Rice, room 304.
225
00:16:14,422 --> 00:16:15,552
Thanks.
226
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:37,164
You still want to take that trip, Kelly?
227
00:16:39,317 --> 00:16:41,560
You don't have to worry about me, Vince.
228
00:16:42,019 --> 00:16:43,028
Don.
229
00:16:44,194 --> 00:16:45,820
Big mouth Kelly.
230
00:16:46,257 --> 00:16:48,832
You think what he's got
may be contagious?
231
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:50,563
Very...catchy.
232
00:16:51,562 --> 00:16:54,648
What's your opinion, Don?
-Very, definitely.
233
00:16:56,621 --> 00:16:58,283
What can I do?
234
00:16:59,322 --> 00:17:01,686
The consultation's in agreement.
235
00:17:04,595 --> 00:17:05,769
Kelly!
236
00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:07,380
You're dead!
237
00:17:09,097 --> 00:17:10,527
Oh, and Kelly...
238
00:17:10,774 --> 00:17:14,749
When you get to where you're going,
have 'em give you a nice, even burn.
239
00:17:14,809 --> 00:17:17,579
Don't let them just fry you on one side.
240
00:18:01,054 --> 00:18:05,210
I'm sorry to bother you again, but..
has there been any sign of the girl yet?
241
00:18:07,876 --> 00:18:09,051
Thanks.
242
00:18:40,394 --> 00:18:42,743
Don't you believe in knocking on doors?
243
00:18:43,857 --> 00:18:45,814
Who are you? What do you want?
244
00:19:00,538 --> 00:19:02,661
So, that's where you've been hold up...
245
00:19:02,932 --> 00:19:04,498
Eddie Rice!
246
00:19:05,181 --> 00:19:08,990
No wonder I couldn't get a line on you.
Are you back sightseeing?
247
00:19:09,378 --> 00:19:10,854
Mr Rice?
248
00:19:13,052 --> 00:19:15,326
This supposed to be a free country?
249
00:19:15,684 --> 00:19:17,250
Free town?
250
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:18,951
Open to anyone?
251
00:19:19,011 --> 00:19:20,366
Not with me in it.
252
00:19:20,635 --> 00:19:23,240
You didn't waste much time
picking up with the cops.
253
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:27,395
Why should it worry you about
me talking to Williams?
254
00:19:27,455 --> 00:19:29,274
You've got me confused, Eddie.
255
00:19:29,771 --> 00:19:33,460
Only a sucker would walk back in
town after the deal you pulled.
256
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,979
Some things a fella has to...
257
00:19:37,401 --> 00:19:39,102
find out for himself.
258
00:19:40,096 --> 00:19:41,948
Not about you and me.
259
00:19:50,768 --> 00:19:53,283
I've been saving this for five years.
260
00:19:54,021 --> 00:19:57,378
Everyone in life has his bible,
this is mine.
261
00:19:58,978 --> 00:20:03,661
I take it out and read it every day. I read
it to remind me of a guy I grew up with.
262
00:20:03,917 --> 00:20:05,648
Got shoved around with.
263
00:20:06,277 --> 00:20:08,566
We used to take a lot of raps together.
264
00:20:09,439 --> 00:20:13,143
Some people would call a guy
like that a...a loyal friend.
265
00:20:13,968 --> 00:20:15,353
He was.
266
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:22,050
Until he turned into a dirty stool pigeon,
and let me take the rap for him!
267
00:20:38,866 --> 00:20:40,070
Eddie...
268
00:20:41,380 --> 00:20:42,811
Riccardi?
269
00:20:43,025 --> 00:20:47,105
My good friend who sold me out
to a cop named Joe Williams!
270
00:20:58,268 --> 00:21:00,541
Don't mess up his face too much.
271
00:21:03,876 --> 00:21:05,909
I ought to kill you, Eddie.
272
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:08,709
But, you're not worth taking
another rap for!
273
00:21:08,769 --> 00:21:11,058
In 24 hours...disappear!
274
00:21:11,935 --> 00:21:15,006
Otherwise, I might be tempted
to change my mind!
275
00:21:15,624 --> 00:21:17,205
Give him some air!
276
00:22:11,865 --> 00:22:14,153
<i>Why didn't the girl come back?</i>
277
00:22:15,523 --> 00:22:17,812
<i>What did she know about me?</i>
278
00:22:18,730 --> 00:22:20,808
<i>Why did she bring me here?</i>
279
00:22:21,847 --> 00:22:23,111
<i>Vince...</i>
280
00:22:24,060 --> 00:22:26,123
<i>Why didn't Vince kill me?</i>
281
00:22:27,402 --> 00:22:29,450
<i>Maybe I deserved it.</i>
282
00:22:30,625 --> 00:22:33,140
<i>Maybe Dr Kemble ought to know?</i>
283
00:22:34,224 --> 00:22:36,051
<i>I better tell him.</i>
284
00:22:37,226 --> 00:22:39,033
<i>I better call him.</i>
285
00:22:40,328 --> 00:22:41,908
<i>I better...</i>
286
00:22:44,659 --> 00:22:45,879
Hello.
287
00:22:46,391 --> 00:22:50,456
I want to put through a call, person
to person. Dr Kemble...
288
00:22:50,652 --> 00:22:53,392
Letterman Genral Hospital,
San Francisco.
289
00:22:54,435 --> 00:22:56,091
K-E-M-B-L-E
290
00:22:57,411 --> 00:22:58,736
Thank you.
291
00:23:14,170 --> 00:23:15,961
Hello, Dr Kemble?
292
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,812
When do you expect him back?
293
00:23:19,219 --> 00:23:20,920
Not till tomorrow?
294
00:23:22,121 --> 00:23:24,500
Never mind, I'll see him personally.
295
00:24:15,503 --> 00:24:18,780
Forget about Union Station.
Take me to 7 Braxton Avenue.
296
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:30,476
Wait for me.
297
00:24:51,762 --> 00:24:53,961
Thanks a lot Lou, for driving me home.
298
00:24:54,021 --> 00:24:57,393
Just a minute, darling.
I'll walk to the door with you.
299
00:24:58,990 --> 00:25:02,378
It's early, Nina. A little drink for
a nightcap won't hurt you.
300
00:25:02,589 --> 00:25:04,456
That's what you think.
301
00:25:04,516 --> 00:25:07,825
You could make me forget that
thousand I dropped tonight, Nina.
302
00:25:07,885 --> 00:25:11,182
I can forget a lot of things, Lou.
You, for instance.
303
00:25:11,242 --> 00:25:13,633
Good night.
-Just a minute, baby.
304
00:25:13,693 --> 00:25:16,328
I'd like a little receipt
for that grand.
305
00:25:19,246 --> 00:25:20,827
That's better.
306
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:25,539
That's your receipt. Good night.
307
00:25:45,117 --> 00:25:46,758
Now listen...
308
00:25:50,045 --> 00:25:51,461
Go ahead.
309
00:25:51,521 --> 00:25:53,237
Take a good look.
310
00:25:53,629 --> 00:25:58,055
If you came to tell me how Vince welcomed
you back, you've said it. So, goodbye!
311
00:25:58,673 --> 00:26:02,272
I want to know what you had
to do with me...in my life.
312
00:26:04,596 --> 00:26:06,057
And this.
313
00:26:10,473 --> 00:26:12,160
December the 24th,
314
00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:13,801
1943.
315
00:26:14,162 --> 00:26:16,120
Ah, that was a lovely Christmas.
316
00:26:16,903 --> 00:26:19,041
One I'll never forget.
317
00:26:24,136 --> 00:26:26,380
Only one of your presents!
318
00:26:29,297 --> 00:26:33,664
Sure, I told Vince Alexander
you're back. I work for him.
319
00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:39,946
This clipping...
320
00:26:40,955 --> 00:26:45,366
Why couldn't you testify at the trial?
-Oh, no routines, I've heard them all.
321
00:26:48,454 --> 00:26:51,436
Listen to me!
I'm just out of an army hospital
322
00:26:51,496 --> 00:26:54,507
with a piece of steel in my head
and no memory to go with it.
323
00:26:54,567 --> 00:26:57,756
I'm here to find out about myself and
I'm getting answers the hard way!
324
00:26:57,816 --> 00:27:00,677
I don't know you, Vince Alexander...
325
00:27:00,737 --> 00:27:05,055
or anybody called Eddie Riccardi!
All I know is one person, Eddie Rice! Me!
326
00:27:07,178 --> 00:27:09,391
You're the last person I can turn to.
327
00:27:10,472 --> 00:27:12,263
Please believe me.
328
00:27:12,850 --> 00:27:14,115
Help me.
329
00:27:16,584 --> 00:27:19,039
That's a very touching speech.
330
00:27:21,477 --> 00:27:23,901
You lost your memory.
331
00:27:24,564 --> 00:27:28,298
You don't know why I couldn't
testify at the trial.
332
00:27:28,529 --> 00:27:32,067
You've forgotten how you used me to
make sure Vince would go to prison
333
00:27:32,127 --> 00:27:33,829
so you'd be set free.
334
00:27:33,889 --> 00:27:37,966
But, if you're back to your old tricks
again I've got sad news for you,
335
00:27:38,026 --> 00:27:40,752
I tore up your raincheck
three years ago.
336
00:27:43,494 --> 00:27:45,587
I'm not your wife anymore.
337
00:28:05,380 --> 00:28:08,090
Now to the station?
-Back to the hotel.
338
00:28:47,065 --> 00:28:49,579
You act like a cop that just
lost a conviction?
339
00:28:49,639 --> 00:28:52,877
Maybe I have, take a look at these.
Fresh out of the photo lab.
340
00:28:54,339 --> 00:28:56,808
Sharks don't talk, the
fingerprints spell Kelly.
341
00:28:56,868 --> 00:28:59,413
The Coroner said he was dead two
hours before he hit the water.
342
00:28:59,473 --> 00:29:01,807
Too bad. With the information
Kelly had for us
343
00:29:01,867 --> 00:29:04,186
we could have put Vince
away for a long stretch.
344
00:29:05,335 --> 00:29:07,066
What's eating you, Joe?
345
00:29:07,563 --> 00:29:09,295
I was a smart cop.
346
00:29:09,355 --> 00:29:12,712
I put Petey away to get him off of
Kelly's tail, and this is what happens.
347
00:29:12,772 --> 00:29:14,594
I feel like I killed Kelly.
348
00:29:14,654 --> 00:29:16,897
Riccardi...think he's tied up in it?
349
00:29:16,957 --> 00:29:19,909
Walking back into town that day
could tie him up in anything.
350
00:29:20,237 --> 00:29:22,706
Is the case my baby?
-All yours.
351
00:29:24,916 --> 00:29:26,301
Now what?
352
00:29:26,361 --> 00:29:28,936
I figure we shouldn't keep
it a secret from Vince.
353
00:29:40,844 --> 00:29:43,087
Only six days in the week now, huh?
354
00:29:43,455 --> 00:29:46,557
How do you like that, the card
must have fell out.
355
00:29:46,617 --> 00:29:48,604
It was there yesterday. Nick...
356
00:29:48,664 --> 00:29:50,125
Who's Jane Doe?
357
00:29:50,185 --> 00:29:52,817
Please, Lieutenant. I don't look
at their birth certificate.
358
00:29:52,877 --> 00:29:55,075
Lots of people don't use
their right names.
359
00:29:55,135 --> 00:29:59,002
With me, a buck is a buck.
I don't ask questions.
360
00:29:59,318 --> 00:30:02,435
Before I'm through, Nick...
you'll be answering a few.
361
00:30:08,026 --> 00:30:12,377
It's gettin' so you can't tail a guy anymore
without having the cops jump on ya.
362
00:30:12,437 --> 00:30:14,666
This town's goin' to the dogs.
363
00:30:14,981 --> 00:30:18,143
Samson and me...
-Petey! Get that cat off the desk!
364
00:30:18,776 --> 00:30:22,133
I was just saying, Samson and
me could stand a vacation.
365
00:30:22,389 --> 00:30:25,340
You want us to blow town?
-That's just what I don't want.
366
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,047
Coke will set you up, and stay quiet!
367
00:30:28,107 --> 00:30:30,667
Well, sure Vince, sure.
Anything you say.
368
00:31:05,567 --> 00:31:06,922
Hello, Danny.
369
00:31:16,370 --> 00:31:18,327
Come in. Come in, Joe.
370
00:31:18,674 --> 00:31:22,543
Pull up a chair and rest your feet.
I hear you've had a busy day.
371
00:31:26,329 --> 00:31:29,099
I figured you would.
I was saving you for last.
372
00:31:30,183 --> 00:31:31,644
Should I...
373
00:31:31,930 --> 00:31:33,993
relax or call in my lawyer?
374
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:36,698
That depends on how nervous you are.
375
00:31:36,758 --> 00:31:39,529
I was always thought nervous
guys bit their nails?
376
00:31:39,589 --> 00:31:41,095
Now, let me see...
377
00:31:41,317 --> 00:31:44,675
Nick was a little bit hazy about
who Jane Doe was.
378
00:31:44,946 --> 00:31:47,144
I thought you might be able to tell me.
379
00:31:47,336 --> 00:31:49,113
Never heard of the girl.
380
00:31:49,173 --> 00:31:50,634
Then there's Petey.
381
00:31:50,694 --> 00:31:54,654
And how certain people got know where
and just when to bail him out.
382
00:31:54,714 --> 00:31:57,014
Now...nobody knows anything.
383
00:31:57,421 --> 00:31:58,912
But, we'll find him.
384
00:31:59,273 --> 00:32:01,863
We;ve got all exits out of town plugged.
385
00:32:03,697 --> 00:32:06,483
And I got a hunch he'll
be real cooperative.
386
00:32:06,769 --> 00:32:08,063
You see...
387
00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:10,698
I don't think he knows
anything about this.
388
00:32:11,090 --> 00:32:12,249
Kelly.
389
00:32:12,798 --> 00:32:15,162
He's gone and gotten himself killed.
390
00:32:15,915 --> 00:32:17,571
Just like Kelly...
391
00:32:17,842 --> 00:32:19,920
You never know what he'll do next.
392
00:32:20,191 --> 00:32:21,983
That goes for a lot of guys.
393
00:32:22,449 --> 00:32:23,910
Take you and...
394
00:32:24,482 --> 00:32:26,529
Then again, take Eddie Riccardi...
395
00:32:26,589 --> 00:32:29,962
You boys forgive and forget,
and back in business again.
396
00:32:31,037 --> 00:32:34,485
You and Riccardi got a lot in common,
why don't you ask him?
397
00:32:34,545 --> 00:32:36,352
At the moment, you're number one.
398
00:32:36,623 --> 00:32:40,281
And, it won't be any...manslaughter
charge and out in two years.
399
00:32:41,076 --> 00:32:43,048
I put you away this time...
400
00:32:43,334 --> 00:32:44,840
it'll be for keeps.
401
00:32:47,035 --> 00:32:50,031
You got all the answers figured
out, haven't you?
402
00:32:50,091 --> 00:32:52,636
I might have, sooner than you think.
403
00:32:53,959 --> 00:32:55,479
So sorry!
404
00:33:35,693 --> 00:33:39,292
Me, I never had a complaint.
You call my old boss.
405
00:33:39,352 --> 00:33:42,115
He'll tell you my bringing in 500
a night at the gambling tables
406
00:33:42,175 --> 00:33:44,344
was a small bag of tell.
407
00:33:45,169 --> 00:33:48,993
Oh, Mr Alexander! I just came in looking
for a job and I was telling Ms Martin...
408
00:33:49,053 --> 00:33:50,378
Get rid of her.
409
00:33:51,278 --> 00:33:55,238
Vince, we need some new talent...
-Okay! Okay! Come back at eight tonight.
410
00:33:55,298 --> 00:33:58,324
She'll tell you what to do.
-Oh, gee! Thanks!
411
00:34:01,806 --> 00:34:03,899
You know Eddie's still in town?
412
00:34:05,013 --> 00:34:06,172
Yes.
413
00:34:06,353 --> 00:34:08,024
Been around to see you?
414
00:34:09,667 --> 00:34:10,796
When?
415
00:34:11,534 --> 00:34:13,266
Late last night.
416
00:34:14,184 --> 00:34:16,548
Did he tell ya I gave him
24 hours to get out?
417
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,249
No.
418
00:34:19,872 --> 00:34:22,793
Well, I changed my mind.
I want him to stay.
419
00:34:23,049 --> 00:34:25,142
I want you to make sure he does stay.
420
00:34:26,876 --> 00:34:29,827
My job's to work the tables
for you here, Vince, and...
421
00:34:30,324 --> 00:34:34,961
I don't even mind setups like the one with
Petey or...other deals like that, but...
422
00:34:36,439 --> 00:34:37,613
Vince...
423
00:34:38,336 --> 00:34:40,534
Stay out of my personal life!
424
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:42,311
Listen you...
425
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,041
When Eddie dropped you, who picked
you up and gave you your health?
426
00:34:46,101 --> 00:34:49,053
Who gave you your job?
Everything you got?
427
00:34:49,459 --> 00:34:51,206
Vince Alexander!
428
00:34:52,806 --> 00:34:54,538
I won't do it, Vince.
429
00:34:54,598 --> 00:34:55,923
Forget Eddie.
430
00:34:55,983 --> 00:34:57,639
When I get through with him.
431
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,717
But, now you're gonna meet him.
432
00:35:00,715 --> 00:35:03,440
And, I want you to make sure
he does stay in town.
433
00:35:34,220 --> 00:35:35,566
What'll it be?
434
00:35:35,626 --> 00:35:37,854
Did five years make you
forget that easily?
435
00:35:37,914 --> 00:35:41,016
I told you...in five years you
can forget a lot of things.
436
00:35:41,076 --> 00:35:43,064
Something for the lady?
-Rob Roy, please.
437
00:35:43,124 --> 00:35:44,491
The same.
438
00:35:48,131 --> 00:35:50,932
What made you change your mind
about seeing me again?
439
00:35:54,897 --> 00:35:58,210
You know, finding out I was married
to you kind of threw me.
440
00:35:58,992 --> 00:36:02,169
It was even something the boys at
the hospital used to rib me about.
441
00:36:02,564 --> 00:36:05,605
They had me fixed up with a
wife and four or five kids.
442
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:09,881
They didn't know how close the
gag came to being true.
443
00:36:11,474 --> 00:36:13,672
You still don't believe me, do you?
444
00:36:21,056 --> 00:36:25,236
Maybe this'll convince you it was Eddie
Rice that rang your doorbell last night.
445
00:36:26,537 --> 00:36:29,909
Call Dr Kemble at Letterman's
Hospital in San Francisco.
446
00:36:31,007 --> 00:36:33,025
He'll tell you the whole story.
447
00:36:38,141 --> 00:36:39,767
Tha cigarette case...
448
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,323
Doesn't it mean anything to you?
449
00:36:47,468 --> 00:36:48,868
Should it?
450
00:36:54,926 --> 00:36:57,350
Suppose I did believe you, then what?
451
00:36:59,488 --> 00:37:03,569
Then, I'd try and make you forget that
Eddie Riccardi was ever in your life.
452
00:37:04,476 --> 00:37:06,403
You think you can do that?
453
00:37:07,216 --> 00:37:08,737
Eddie Rice can.
454
00:37:20,823 --> 00:37:22,570
Eddie, leave town.
455
00:37:24,533 --> 00:37:27,228
Now you're talking like Vince.
-Maybe I was yesterday.
456
00:37:27,288 --> 00:37:30,492
Don't ask me why, but go.
-Nina, I don't frighten easily.
457
00:37:30,552 --> 00:37:33,353
You can take that message back to Vince.
Tell him I'm staying!
458
00:37:33,413 --> 00:37:36,816
That's what he wants you to do. That's
why I'm here, to keep you from leaving.
459
00:37:36,876 --> 00:37:38,740
I'd hate to disappoint him then.
460
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,895
Eddie, don't be stubborn, I know Vince.
He doesn't do anything without a reason.
461
00:37:43,964 --> 00:37:45,530
Neither do I.
462
00:37:47,802 --> 00:37:52,590
Stay then! Get yourself beaten up again,
or killed. Do anything you want.
463
00:38:35,782 --> 00:38:38,267
Riccardi.
-Very interesting.
464
00:38:47,205 --> 00:38:48,936
Scotch over water.
465
00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:53,136
Lose something, Charlie?
466
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,406
Tell Nina Martin, Eddie wants to see her.
-Eddie who?
467
00:38:59,658 --> 00:39:01,103
Just Eddie.
468
00:39:01,630 --> 00:39:03,060
Wait here.
469
00:39:11,467 --> 00:39:12,943
What'll I need?
470
00:39:13,003 --> 00:39:15,653
A thousand might bring you luck.
-A thousand?
471
00:39:15,894 --> 00:39:17,475
Give me a thousand.
472
00:39:24,925 --> 00:39:27,891
A character called Eddie's outside,
wants to see you.
473
00:39:27,951 --> 00:39:29,412
Eddie here?
474
00:39:29,788 --> 00:39:31,204
Get rid of him!
475
00:39:31,425 --> 00:39:33,668
That's not what Vince had in mind.
476
00:39:43,422 --> 00:39:44,972
All right, come on.
477
00:39:53,097 --> 00:39:54,663
6...9...12!
478
00:39:54,919 --> 00:39:56,636
All bets down.
479
00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:04,549
It's a nice layout. Vince ought to be
able to pick up some fast money.
480
00:40:04,609 --> 00:40:07,063
You're crazy to come walking in here.
481
00:40:07,123 --> 00:40:09,273
Maybe I'm just hard to convince.
482
00:40:10,477 --> 00:40:12,374
My dressing room is back there.
483
00:40:13,925 --> 00:40:16,590
I'll be back before the
wheel stops turning.
484
00:40:34,853 --> 00:40:35,973
Yeah?
485
00:40:37,478 --> 00:40:38,939
Okay, thanks.
486
00:40:43,645 --> 00:40:45,813
So, she wanted to get rid of him.
487
00:40:47,179 --> 00:40:50,040
I wonder if that dame is trying
to pull a double cross.
488
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,129
Get down to the Golden Horn and pick up
Eddie Riccardi, you'll find him with Nina.
489
00:40:55,189 --> 00:40:56,270
Just him?
490
00:40:56,571 --> 00:40:57,746
Just him.
491
00:40:58,197 --> 00:41:00,110
I'll get around to her later.
492
00:41:03,747 --> 00:41:05,569
I started to leave...
493
00:41:05,794 --> 00:41:08,309
but I kept thinking about
everything you told me.
494
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,230
If I'd of left I'd been all the
things you said I was.
495
00:41:11,727 --> 00:41:13,232
So, I'm staying.
496
00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:17,505
And, I'm taking you out of here.
497
00:41:18,498 --> 00:41:19,673
Nina.
498
00:41:21,043 --> 00:41:23,436
We could have a decent life together.
499
00:41:26,553 --> 00:41:28,465
You got it all figured out.
500
00:41:31,452 --> 00:41:36,089
Well, you're not taking me anywhere.
You pushed me into this life and I like it.
501
00:41:36,481 --> 00:41:41,374
I'm top bait around here steering nice,
fat, pigeons to the gambling table.
502
00:41:41,434 --> 00:41:46,174
I'm one of Vince's kind now and I'm keeping
my life and my job just the way they are.
503
00:41:46,234 --> 00:41:48,026
No matter what I have to do!
504
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:49,934
Come on.
505
00:41:59,090 --> 00:42:00,144
Thanks.
506
00:42:10,804 --> 00:42:13,469
Now, how about some champagne?
507
00:42:14,389 --> 00:42:17,581
Excuse me for a minute, honey.
I forgot I got to call my wife.
508
00:42:32,729 --> 00:42:35,048
Williams, Homicide.
Yeah, Barnes.
509
00:42:36,509 --> 00:42:37,653
Yeah!
510
00:42:38,586 --> 00:42:39,881
Thanks a lot!
511
00:42:40,377 --> 00:42:41,898
What's exciting?
512
00:42:50,385 --> 00:42:54,646
I said, what's exciting? Or, don't
you want to wake me up?
513
00:42:55,138 --> 00:42:59,113
Barnes casing the Golden Horn for vice
intel, tells me Riccardi just walked in.
514
00:42:59,805 --> 00:43:01,266
Trouble maybe?
515
00:43:01,717 --> 00:43:04,924
I could think of plenty of reasons why
there might be for Eddie Rice.
516
00:43:05,478 --> 00:43:07,300
You'll hear from me later.
517
00:43:25,961 --> 00:43:28,189
How you coming with that
Kelly report, Ben?
518
00:43:28,249 --> 00:43:30,945
Just finishing up for you.
-Okay, I'll wait.
519
00:43:33,515 --> 00:43:36,586
Somebody must've believed in that
old gag about an apple a day.
520
00:43:36,646 --> 00:43:40,513
Yeah, but they didn't know it would pin
a murder on them. -Quite an appetite.
521
00:43:40,573 --> 00:43:43,253
Psychological, it creates
a false hunger.
522
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:50,156
Well, here you are, Joe.
I can go home now.
523
00:43:50,216 --> 00:43:53,454
Thanks a lot, Ben. See you tomorrow.
-Okay, see ya tomorrow.
524
00:44:06,875 --> 00:44:07,778
Yeah?
525
00:44:07,838 --> 00:44:10,970
I'm interested in Eddie Riccardi,
not in what's going on in there.
526
00:44:11,030 --> 00:44:13,680
We don't know from Riccardi.
-I do, open up.
527
00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:18,240
Place your bets, folks. Place your
bets. Bet high/low...odd or even.
528
00:44:38,711 --> 00:44:39,795
Yes?
529
00:44:39,990 --> 00:44:43,438
Miss Martin? Williams, Homicide.
May I come in please?
530
00:44:43,732 --> 00:44:44,982
Come in.
531
00:44:47,432 --> 00:44:50,820
Eddie was just picked up by Danny.
-Where'd he take him?
532
00:44:52,557 --> 00:44:54,424
You'll hear from me later.
533
00:45:14,826 --> 00:45:16,377
You know, Williams?
534
00:45:17,054 --> 00:45:19,524
I'm not used to cops with insomnia.
535
00:45:20,201 --> 00:45:22,791
What's on your mind?
-It won't take long.
536
00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:25,960
Danny picked up Eddie Riccardi.
Where are they?
537
00:45:27,537 --> 00:45:29,329
You're in an awful rut.
538
00:45:29,540 --> 00:45:31,497
Always asking questions.
539
00:45:31,557 --> 00:45:33,846
All right...let's start over.
540
00:45:34,581 --> 00:45:37,306
Eddie was at the Golden Horn
with Nina Martin.
541
00:45:37,366 --> 00:45:39,685
Suddenly, he wasn't there anymore.
542
00:45:40,208 --> 00:45:41,368
So...
543
00:45:41,578 --> 00:45:44,018
So...I don't mind waiting.
544
00:45:45,900 --> 00:45:48,053
While we kill a little time...
545
00:45:49,429 --> 00:45:51,176
This might interest you.
546
00:46:01,803 --> 00:46:05,733
And, after we pick up Riccardi...
we're going down to police headquarters.
547
00:46:06,034 --> 00:46:08,579
You're gonna have a manicure...on me.
548
00:46:10,294 --> 00:46:13,380
You know, you're gonna look awful
silly when I get through with you.
549
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,819
If I'm wrong...I'll apologize.
550
00:46:21,050 --> 00:46:23,264
Say hello, nothing more.
551
00:46:25,733 --> 00:46:26,862
Hello.
552
00:46:27,674 --> 00:46:31,408
Vince, we're at the shop. Do we
stay or bring Riccardi up there?
553
00:46:32,507 --> 00:46:34,238
Tell him you'll be down.
554
00:46:52,464 --> 00:46:53,699
Okay, Coke...
555
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,385
<i>Bring him up here.</i>
556
00:47:28,724 --> 00:47:30,530
What do you want now?
557
00:47:41,819 --> 00:47:44,605
Just when he was coming up
in the department.
558
00:49:14,591 --> 00:49:15,886
Car 9-4
559
00:49:15,946 --> 00:49:17,813
9-4 to Control-4.
560
00:49:17,873 --> 00:49:20,252
<i>Clear Frequency-4, this is an emergency.</i>
561
00:49:20,312 --> 00:49:23,126
Control-4 to 94, go ahead.
562
00:49:23,186 --> 00:49:25,099
<i>Car 94 to Control-4</i>
563
00:49:25,159 --> 00:49:29,209
<i>Notify the Homicide Bureau, we have found
the body of Lt Williams in his car.</i>
564
00:49:29,269 --> 00:49:31,133
At Sepulveda and Sunset.
565
00:50:17,423 --> 00:50:18,763
Give you a lift, son?
566
00:50:18,823 --> 00:50:21,485
Thanks, I had a little accident
back up a side road.
567
00:50:21,545 --> 00:50:24,556
I have to go to town, get a tow car.
-Anybody killed?
568
00:50:27,016 --> 00:50:29,561
No luck at all tonight.
Hop in.
569
00:50:39,349 --> 00:50:42,090
Bet you thought I wouldn't stop
to pick you up, didn't you?
570
00:50:42,150 --> 00:50:43,638
I didn't know.
571
00:50:43,698 --> 00:50:45,113
It's late.
-See...
572
00:50:45,173 --> 00:50:49,130
That's why I fooled you. Have me orders.
Pick up anybody, anytime.
573
00:50:49,747 --> 00:50:51,870
Green Acres Morticians policy.
574
00:50:52,094 --> 00:50:54,698
Live today...maybe a customer tomorrow.
575
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,400
Pays off too.
576
00:50:56,460 --> 00:50:59,848
Most people remember the nice things
you do for them while they're living.
577
00:50:59,908 --> 00:51:03,864
We sure don't get any complaints about our
service from them after they're dead.
578
00:51:03,924 --> 00:51:05,927
Their family, that is.
579
00:51:07,423 --> 00:51:09,441
That accident hurt you any?
580
00:51:10,992 --> 00:51:13,069
Got a match?
-Sure do.
581
00:51:19,645 --> 00:51:21,813
Police, ambulance and everything.
582
00:51:22,114 --> 00:51:24,312
I wonder if I'm losing any customers?
583
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:40,902
Finished with Joe's stuff yet?
-Still working on it.
584
00:51:43,326 --> 00:51:44,816
It's too bad...
585
00:51:45,434 --> 00:51:48,460
Joe's wife sure liked him
in that suit too.
586
00:52:13,311 --> 00:52:16,021
Any line on Riccardi yet?
-Nothing, Captain.
587
00:52:16,081 --> 00:52:19,710
Keep trying, he's the last one who
might of seen Joe. -Okay.
588
00:52:20,197 --> 00:52:21,718
Eddie Riccardi.
589
00:52:24,187 --> 00:52:26,445
Guess Williams was right after all.
590
00:52:26,701 --> 00:52:28,538
Riccardi or Rice.
591
00:52:28,826 --> 00:52:32,530
A Silver Star and a dumb look doesn't
change a no good heel.
592
00:52:33,147 --> 00:52:36,173
Attention all units!
Attention all units!
593
00:52:36,233 --> 00:52:40,175
Be on the lookout for the following
<i>described suspect, wanted for murder:</i>
594
00:52:40,551 --> 00:52:43,322
<i>Eddie Riccardi, alias Eddie Rice,</i>
595
00:52:43,589 --> 00:52:46,164
<i>White male, American,</i>
596
00:52:46,224 --> 00:52:49,341
<i>Age 33, 6 foot 2.</i>
597
00:52:49,729 --> 00:52:51,506
<i>190 lbs...</i>
598
00:52:51,957 --> 00:52:53,312
<i>Dark brown...</i>
599
00:52:53,659 --> 00:52:55,944
You phone the cops and do 'em a favor,
600
00:52:56,004 --> 00:53:00,024
where to find a dead cop and the guy
that did it, and what happens...
601
00:53:05,972 --> 00:53:08,035
The first stop is Nina Martin's.
602
00:53:08,276 --> 00:53:10,474
I want Eddie before the cops get him.
603
00:53:10,730 --> 00:53:12,913
Then they can have him for a present.
604
00:53:14,334 --> 00:53:15,915
And alive!
605
00:53:32,066 --> 00:53:33,843
Eddie!
-Shut up!
606
00:53:34,168 --> 00:53:36,065
Get those lights out!
607
00:53:37,285 --> 00:53:39,152
Eddie, what happened?
608
00:53:40,533 --> 00:53:43,951
You certainly did a neat job
of tying me into a murder.
609
00:53:44,011 --> 00:53:46,089
Joe Williams was killed tonight.
610
00:53:46,149 --> 00:53:47,901
You?
-I don't know.
611
00:53:47,961 --> 00:53:51,138
The last thing I remember was being slugged
over the head at Vince Alexander's.
612
00:53:51,198 --> 00:53:53,713
I know you think that...
-I haven't got time to think!
613
00:53:53,773 --> 00:53:57,811
All I want is a few bucks, your car and
you in my sight till I get out of here!
614
00:53:57,871 --> 00:53:59,874
Eddie, you've got to believe me!
615
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:01,335
Believe?
616
00:54:01,656 --> 00:54:03,508
Like you believed me?
617
00:54:03,885 --> 00:54:05,661
Give me the keys!
618
00:54:10,271 --> 00:54:14,017
Eddie! This is why I turned on you
tonight, to get you away from Vince.
619
00:54:14,077 --> 00:54:16,992
The keys are in the car, you go,
I'll try to stall them off.
620
00:54:17,224 --> 00:54:19,468
And get a bullet in the back of my head?
621
00:54:19,528 --> 00:54:22,404
Oh, Eddie! You've got to trust me,
it's your only chance.
622
00:54:24,815 --> 00:54:26,091
Quick!
623
00:54:26,444 --> 00:54:28,043
The garage.
624
00:55:25,770 --> 00:55:29,188
This is where you get out. -Go to the
police, Eddie. Before it's too late.
625
00:55:29,248 --> 00:55:32,400
With my fingerprints all over the
gun and all over Williams car?
626
00:55:32,460 --> 00:55:35,257
I wouldn't last long enough to walk
to the nearest police station.
627
00:55:35,317 --> 00:55:38,133
If I did what could I tell them?
Now out!
628
00:55:38,788 --> 00:55:41,737
You want me to go home and wait
for Vince to come back again?
629
00:55:41,797 --> 00:55:45,800
That's something Eddie Riccardo would
tell me to do, not Eddie Rice.
630
00:55:49,139 --> 00:55:50,606
All right.
631
00:56:06,538 --> 00:56:07,668
Stop.
632
00:56:11,312 --> 00:56:13,997
Keep your lights off and
the motor running.
633
00:56:57,233 --> 00:56:59,889
Well, now you've got a gun! What next?
634
00:57:01,213 --> 00:57:04,044
I didn't ask for any killings,
so I'm in the middle.
635
00:57:04,528 --> 00:57:07,711
But, I'm not going to be a clay
pigeon for Vince Alexander.
636
00:57:08,308 --> 00:57:10,513
You can't prove anything dead.
637
00:57:10,573 --> 00:57:14,597
That would make Vince very happy,
something I wouldn't want to let happen.
638
00:57:15,047 --> 00:57:18,758
Is there any place we could go, someone
you can trust to put us up for the night?
639
00:57:18,818 --> 00:57:20,299
I need time.
640
00:57:21,747 --> 00:57:23,404
Maybe there is.
641
00:57:23,464 --> 00:57:25,443
It's a long chance, but...
642
00:57:28,917 --> 00:57:31,763
You don't think you're going to
get away with this, do you?
643
00:57:32,276 --> 00:57:34,477
We're staying here till tomorrow.
644
00:57:42,766 --> 00:57:46,004
Stay away from that phone!
If it rings, let it keep ringing!
645
00:57:46,064 --> 00:57:48,953
Get rid of anybody who comes to
the door, I'll be right behind you
646
00:57:49,013 --> 00:57:50,845
in case you give the wrong answers.
647
00:57:55,517 --> 00:57:58,539
What about the girl's place?
-There and gone.
648
00:57:58,599 --> 00:58:02,705
Get a teletype out on her car immediately,
have it re-broadcast every half hour.
649
00:58:08,211 --> 00:58:10,661
I want roadblocks at all these points.
650
00:58:10,721 --> 00:58:12,705
I want the airport, the railroad station,
651
00:58:12,765 --> 00:58:15,536
all the bus terminals put
under a 24 surveillance.
652
00:58:15,596 --> 00:58:18,001
I want every hotel and
flophouse notified.
653
00:58:18,061 --> 00:58:20,818
They're in this town somewhere
and they're not getting out.
654
00:58:21,019 --> 00:58:22,354
One other thing...
655
00:58:22,414 --> 00:58:26,887
We picked up Riccardi's fingerprints on
that gun shop. He's got a gun now.
656
00:58:27,294 --> 00:58:29,421
Don't give him a chance to use it!
657
00:58:29,481 --> 00:58:31,284
All right, start moving.
658
00:58:31,344 --> 00:58:33,908
<i>The police tightened its dragnet
about the city today.</i>
659
00:58:33,968 --> 00:58:36,988
<i>Riccardi escaped just as the police
were ready to close in on him</i>
660
00:58:37,048 --> 00:58:39,197
<i>after they received an
anonymous phone call</i>
661
00:58:39,257 --> 00:58:42,292
<i>which led them to discover the murdered
body of one of their men today.</i>
662
00:58:42,352 --> 00:58:44,067
<i>Every available man...</i>
663
00:58:47,714 --> 00:58:49,958
We'll wait till it's dark
and get out of here.
664
00:58:50,018 --> 00:58:52,423
You couldn't arrange to
drop dead before then?
665
00:58:52,483 --> 00:58:55,606
Hazel, you've got to believe us.
Eddie didn't do it!
666
00:58:55,897 --> 00:58:57,936
He should still drop dead.
667
00:58:58,269 --> 00:58:59,604
Twice.
668
01:00:12,318 --> 01:00:13,477
Coke!
669
01:00:36,274 --> 01:00:38,401
Get me a couple of clean towels.
670
01:00:42,231 --> 01:00:43,771
It's pretty bad.
671
01:00:44,739 --> 01:00:49,052
I'll have you out of here in a minute,
we'll find a doctor. -Go to the police.
672
01:00:49,497 --> 01:00:51,448
Eddie, go to the police.
673
01:00:53,848 --> 01:00:55,961
Your car in the garage?
-Yes.
674
01:00:56,021 --> 01:00:58,704
Where are your keys?
-In my purse.
675
01:00:58,764 --> 01:01:00,288
Take care of her.
676
01:01:22,875 --> 01:01:23,843
Thanks.
677
01:01:23,903 --> 01:01:26,748
I'll have the doctor come right
in the moment he returns.
678
01:01:38,651 --> 01:01:40,602
Light me a cigarette.
679
01:02:02,498 --> 01:02:04,288
You're far away.
680
01:02:06,205 --> 01:02:07,614
How far?
681
01:02:09,418 --> 01:02:10,885
Five years.
682
01:02:11,545 --> 01:02:13,041
A lifetime.
683
01:02:14,259 --> 01:02:15,961
Beyond that, a blank.
684
01:02:17,162 --> 01:02:18,879
Me too, Eddie.
685
01:02:18,939 --> 01:02:21,270
Only, it's been a different
kind of a blank.
686
01:02:21,798 --> 01:02:24,453
It's being pushed back
to Eddie Riccardi.
687
01:02:24,937 --> 01:02:26,184
This.
688
01:02:26,811 --> 01:02:30,215
The whole past that keeps me
from being like other people.
689
01:02:30,992 --> 01:02:32,763
Now all that's left is
690
01:02:32,823 --> 01:02:36,460
wondering what it would be like if there
had only been an Eddie Rice.
691
01:02:38,540 --> 01:02:41,287
If I'd of just met you
for the first time.
692
01:02:43,087 --> 01:02:45,508
Eddie Rice can have that.
693
01:02:48,248 --> 01:02:50,610
Oh, you're...good, Eddie.
694
01:02:51,681 --> 01:02:53,368
You're good.
695
01:02:54,934 --> 01:02:57,622
You've taken away the hate in me.
696
01:02:58,176 --> 01:02:59,995
Destroyed it.
697
01:03:01,946 --> 01:03:03,912
You're...good, Eddie.
698
01:03:07,874 --> 01:03:10,573
When a baby wants to be born,
hours don't matter!
699
01:03:10,633 --> 01:03:12,554
7 poundsd 7ounces...a boy.
700
01:03:12,614 --> 01:03:14,549
Doctor, her shoulder...
701
01:03:29,779 --> 01:03:31,760
I can't treat gun wounds.
702
01:03:31,820 --> 01:03:34,679
She'll have to go to the police
emergency hospital.
703
01:03:34,739 --> 01:03:36,179
I don't think so.
704
01:03:36,239 --> 01:03:39,260
I'm sorry, but I've got to report
this to the police.
705
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:40,624
Doctor.
706
01:03:41,138 --> 01:03:43,191
That report to the police...
707
01:03:43,539 --> 01:03:44,918
It'll wait.
708
01:03:45,123 --> 01:03:47,368
If you want to pull that
trigger, go ahead.
709
01:03:49,535 --> 01:03:51,603
Police headquarters, please.
710
01:03:53,055 --> 01:03:56,092
Put that gun away! I said I was
going to call the police.
711
01:03:56,293 --> 01:03:57,775
Police headquarters?
712
01:03:57,980 --> 01:04:00,914
This is Dr Stacey, 93 Chestnut Street.
713
01:04:01,174 --> 01:04:03,492
Send an ambulance and a squad car.
714
01:04:09,003 --> 01:04:10,602
How bad is it?
715
01:04:14,534 --> 01:04:16,118
She'll be all right.
716
01:04:18,447 --> 01:04:20,262
You'd better leave.
717
01:04:27,035 --> 01:04:30,805
Eddie, I'm scared...I'm scared...
-Take it easy, you'll be all right.
718
01:04:30,865 --> 01:04:33,341
Not for me, for you.
-Listen...
719
01:04:33,531 --> 01:04:37,507
I'm leaving you for a little while.
I've got an idea, it might work.
720
01:04:37,567 --> 01:04:39,672
Something very important.
721
01:04:40,214 --> 01:04:44,395
You knew all about me. The people
I used to know, the places I went.
722
01:04:44,699 --> 01:04:46,855
Think for me, go back five years.
723
01:04:46,915 --> 01:04:51,110
Who was there? Just one person.
Give me the answers, quick!
724
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,289
What you say is my only chance,
the only chance I've got.
725
01:04:54,349 --> 01:04:58,231
The only one left is...Petey.
He can't be trusted with Vince.
726
01:04:58,291 --> 01:05:01,337
Where will I find him?
-Not him, he's... -Tell me!
727
01:05:01,759 --> 01:05:04,457
Two, three places on Main Street.
728
01:05:05,198 --> 01:05:07,034
Fourth and Main...
729
01:05:07,094 --> 01:05:10,091
And after Nina ran in front of him,
Coke never had a chance.
730
01:05:10,151 --> 01:05:11,748
That Eddie sure didn't miss.
731
01:05:11,808 --> 01:05:14,345
Coke took three, went right through
his breakfast, lunch and supper.
732
01:05:14,405 --> 01:05:16,575
Anybody come around, ask any questions?
733
01:05:16,635 --> 01:05:19,900
None I couldn't answer, Vince.
-Get back down and keep him company.
734
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,570
But...but, the police?
-That's exactly what I want!
735
01:05:22,630 --> 01:05:25,559
Tell him how Riccardi broke into your
apartment, found Coke there
736
01:05:25,619 --> 01:05:28,727
pulled his gun and fired. Now do
what I told you, just that!
737
01:05:29,035 --> 01:05:31,250
All right, Vince.
-Take her back!
738
01:05:35,048 --> 01:05:37,293
Eddie's got to find a doctor somewhere.
739
01:05:37,484 --> 01:05:39,581
And, if he does what I think, he'll...
740
01:05:39,772 --> 01:05:42,295
dump the girl...and start looking
for a hidewaway.
741
01:05:43,785 --> 01:05:44,973
Get going!
742
01:05:45,033 --> 01:05:48,039
Spread the news I got a personal
interest in Eddie Riccardi.
743
01:05:48,099 --> 01:05:50,870
I don't want anything to happen
to him...until I get there.
744
01:05:51,389 --> 01:05:53,443
Unless the cops get him first.
745
01:05:54,467 --> 01:05:57,841
You through with him, Doc?
-Yup. He was a fine specimen.
746
01:05:57,901 --> 01:06:00,041
Would have had a long life
if this hadn't happened.
747
01:06:00,101 --> 01:06:02,051
I'll send you my report in the morning.
748
01:06:05,694 --> 01:06:08,335
I'm sure you don't mind coming
downtown, Miss Downs?
749
01:06:08,395 --> 01:06:10,477
Well, I...
-I thought not.
750
01:06:12,659 --> 01:06:14,859
What'd you find?
-It was them all right.
751
01:06:14,919 --> 01:06:17,471
Riccardi left the doctor's office
about 30 minutes ago
752
01:06:17,531 --> 01:06:20,830
Notify Communications? -They're blanketing
the whole area. -The girl?
753
01:06:20,890 --> 01:06:25,608
County Jail Hospital. Still out, whether
she's playing it safe or just not talking.
754
01:06:25,668 --> 01:06:29,085
Keep Melon there, the minute she comes
out, I want to know. -Any ideas?
755
01:06:29,145 --> 01:06:31,970
Lots! We need Riccardi to
explain some of them.
756
01:06:32,157 --> 01:06:34,196
If he lives that long.
757
01:06:38,347 --> 01:06:41,120
Hello. I'm looking for Petey,
have you seen him?
758
01:06:42,691 --> 01:06:44,671
Do you know where to find him?
759
01:06:57,552 --> 01:07:00,780
<i>Nina said three or four places,
I must have hit twenty.</i>
760
01:07:01,245 --> 01:07:03,196
<i>And every answer the same.</i>
761
01:07:03,710 --> 01:07:04,810
<i>No.</i>
762
01:07:05,803 --> 01:07:08,605
<i>The shake of their head,
a frightened face.</i>
763
01:07:10,111 --> 01:07:14,043
<i>They knew where I could find what I was
looking for, but they wouldn't talk.</i>
764
01:07:14,483 --> 01:07:16,141
<i>They were scared.</i>
765
01:08:08,257 --> 01:08:11,660
But, Vince! Appreciate the fact
that at least I called you.
766
01:08:11,961 --> 01:08:14,015
I let him stay, it's another rap.
767
01:08:14,075 --> 01:08:17,623
Another rap, I get life! You've
got to appreciate that!
768
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,296
And I'd appreciate it if you'd
tell me where to find Petey.
769
01:08:24,044 --> 01:08:25,306
Right now!
770
01:08:25,366 --> 01:08:26,758
Sure, Eddie.
771
01:08:27,096 --> 01:08:28,152
Sure.
772
01:08:34,841 --> 01:08:36,822
Ocean Boulevard and 25th.
773
01:09:43,996 --> 01:09:46,490
Who's there? Who is it?
-Eddie.
774
01:09:47,355 --> 01:09:48,910
Eddie Riccardi.
775
01:09:49,277 --> 01:09:52,886
Oh, Eddie boy. Every cop in the
city is out gunning for you!
776
01:09:53,350 --> 01:09:55,403
Maybe you don't care if you live...
777
01:09:55,711 --> 01:09:57,604
I got a few more years left!
778
01:09:57,839 --> 01:09:59,526
Open the door, Petey.
779
01:10:00,083 --> 01:10:01,799
You're dead if you don't.
780
01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:04,769
All right, Eddie.
781
01:10:12,804 --> 01:10:15,914
You didn't think I'd leave you out
there in the cold, did you Eddie?
782
01:10:16,545 --> 01:10:20,550
Five years, no see! But, you sure got
a hot fire burning under you, huh?
783
01:10:21,019 --> 01:10:22,105
Yeah.
784
01:10:24,891 --> 01:10:26,900
You need a pal, a friend.
785
01:10:30,025 --> 01:10:32,240
Sure, I need a friend, Petey.
786
01:10:32,483 --> 01:10:36,263
Look, old friend... Will you...will
you put that mouthpiece away?
787
01:10:36,323 --> 01:10:39,153
Somehow I...I still believe they go off!
788
01:10:39,926 --> 01:10:42,669
And, Samson my cat, you remember my cat?
789
01:10:44,180 --> 01:10:46,439
He's not feeling too good again.
790
01:10:46,949 --> 01:10:49,545
You stay careful and
nothing will happen.
791
01:10:49,605 --> 01:10:53,110
Oh sure. Sure, Eddie. You're
talking to Petey, remember?
792
01:10:53,340 --> 01:10:55,746
Any objections to my moving in with you?
793
01:10:56,025 --> 01:10:58,416
I'll be gone, tomorrow or the next day.
794
01:10:58,476 --> 01:11:01,771
Oh, me? Turn away practically,
my own flesh and blood?
795
01:11:03,341 --> 01:11:04,822
Relax, Eddie.
796
01:11:08,491 --> 01:11:11,308
There you are, Eddie. Nothing's
too good for you.
797
01:11:12,355 --> 01:11:16,154
How about some food, Petey?
I haven't eaten all night.
798
01:11:16,536 --> 01:11:18,370
You haven't changed a bit.
799
01:11:18,590 --> 01:11:20,086
Always hungry!
800
01:11:20,146 --> 01:11:22,022
Still tied up with Vince?
801
01:11:24,002 --> 01:11:27,670
I do a little private eyeing on the side.
A job here, a job there.
802
01:11:28,007 --> 01:11:29,284
Nothing big.
803
01:11:31,150 --> 01:11:32,705
I'll telephone.
804
01:11:43,749 --> 01:11:47,358
Hello, friend? Petey! I got
a special customer.
805
01:11:47,828 --> 01:11:49,852
Yeah. Yeah, an old one.
806
01:11:50,881 --> 01:11:54,094
How about sending something over?
He's tired and hungry.
807
01:11:54,813 --> 01:11:56,778
A pot of coffee and a sandwich.
808
01:11:56,969 --> 01:11:58,011
Turkey.
809
01:11:58,266 --> 01:11:59,352
Tongue
810
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:01,684
Egg salad combination.
811
01:12:02,638 --> 01:12:04,442
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
812
01:12:05,543 --> 01:12:06,863
You got it.
813
01:12:12,752 --> 01:12:16,068
You see, Eddie? Everything's
just like old times.
814
01:12:16,655 --> 01:12:18,474
If you say so, Petey.
815
01:12:20,114 --> 01:12:21,948
I'm gettin' kinda sleepy.
816
01:12:22,271 --> 01:12:25,308
You just make yourself at home,
food will be along pretty soon.
817
01:12:25,368 --> 01:12:28,183
Vince has gotten to be a big
man the last five years.
818
01:12:28,675 --> 01:12:31,168
I'm really gettin' pretty tired, friend.
819
01:12:31,228 --> 01:12:33,457
Why don't you bring me
up to date, Petey?
820
01:12:33,517 --> 01:12:35,247
I'm really awful tired, friend!
821
01:12:35,307 --> 01:12:37,501
How long will it take Vince to get here?
822
01:12:37,971 --> 01:12:40,861
Eddie...Eddie, you...you embarrass me.
823
01:12:41,135 --> 01:12:43,834
I'll kill you if you don't give
it to me straight, Petey!
824
01:12:43,894 --> 01:12:47,047
Eddie...Eddie, don't talk like that.
Samson's sick!
825
01:12:47,543 --> 01:12:50,403
I'm telling you, Eddie!
-What are you telling me? How long?
826
01:12:50,463 --> 01:12:53,557
Five minutes? Ten? Fifteen minutes?
Twenty minutes?
827
01:12:54,096 --> 01:12:57,015
About...about fifteen minutes, Eddie.
828
01:12:57,323 --> 01:13:00,902
Vince puts you on the spot!
He's that way with all the boys!
829
01:13:01,162 --> 01:13:04,781
Blow Eddie! Take me with you.
You and me was always friends!
830
01:13:04,841 --> 01:13:08,273
You just stay in front of me and keep your
mouth shut and you won't get into trouble.
831
01:13:08,333 --> 01:13:11,265
Sure, Eddie! You got nothing
to worry about from me.
832
01:13:11,325 --> 01:13:14,361
Just stay my friend, Petey.
-Yeah, Eddie.
833
01:13:27,837 --> 01:13:29,935
You're retired, you can go home now.
834
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:32,601
Your friend want a ride?
-Not tonight.
835
01:13:34,995 --> 01:13:36,151
$2.80
836
01:13:36,711 --> 01:13:39,616
This will get you a thousand.
Come on, Petey.
837
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,005
Take care of Petey.
838
01:15:45,187 --> 01:15:46,434
Eddie!
839
01:15:46,625 --> 01:15:48,165
Let's get out of here!
840
01:15:49,661 --> 01:15:51,158
Go ahead, Petey.
841
01:15:51,610 --> 01:15:52,974
Thanks, Eddie.
842
01:15:54,148 --> 01:15:55,615
They're coming!
843
01:18:02,988 --> 01:18:04,191
Eddie.
844
01:18:04,792 --> 01:18:06,274
Can you hear me?
845
01:18:09,079 --> 01:18:10,898
We can make a break.
846
01:18:11,558 --> 01:18:13,319
Cover for each other.
847
01:18:14,096 --> 01:18:15,739
I got a place.
848
01:18:17,148 --> 01:18:18,820
You and me, Eddie.
849
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,342
We'll start up again.
850
01:18:22,914 --> 01:18:25,056
Just like old times.
851
01:18:30,072 --> 01:18:31,671
I got money, Eddie.
852
01:18:32,992 --> 01:18:34,327
Big money!
853
01:18:37,521 --> 01:18:39,355
Samson! Samson!
854
01:18:39,986 --> 01:18:41,159
Samson!
855
01:18:43,096 --> 01:18:44,841
Petey! Come back!
856
01:18:46,807 --> 01:18:47,908
Samson.
857
01:18:48,318 --> 01:18:50,446
Samson, baby. Samson.
858
01:19:47,773 --> 01:19:50,091
Riccardi! Alexander!
859
01:19:50,292 --> 01:19:53,813
We'll give you three minutes to come out.
We're gonna start counting.
860
01:19:54,135 --> 01:19:57,920
At the end of three minutes if you're
not out, we're coming to get you!
861
01:19:58,429 --> 01:20:00,600
This is your last chance, Eddie.
862
01:20:01,862 --> 01:20:04,121
There's just you and me left now.
863
01:20:04,181 --> 01:20:05,676
No deal, Vince.
864
01:20:06,455 --> 01:20:08,538
I know you killed Joe Williams.
865
01:20:08,978 --> 01:20:10,357
Okay...
866
01:20:11,516 --> 01:20:13,071
No deals.
867
01:21:51,795 --> 01:21:54,993
We want you, Riccardi..
Alive, Alexander!
868
01:21:55,595 --> 01:21:58,646
If you're in there and not wounded,
bring Riccardi out.
869
01:21:59,653 --> 01:22:03,761
You, Riccardi! If you're alone, come
out with your hands in the air!
870
01:22:06,712 --> 01:22:09,176
Here's when you and I part company.
871
01:22:09,396 --> 01:22:12,081
You're gonna get paid off in full.
872
01:22:41,345 --> 01:22:43,574
Thanks for bringing him out, Vince.
873
01:22:43,853 --> 01:22:47,169
Now, drop your gun.
I said drop your gun, Vince!
874
01:22:49,233 --> 01:22:51,932
Eddie will take what I
got first, Anderson!
875
01:22:54,015 --> 01:22:56,568
All police officers hold your fire!
876
01:22:57,552 --> 01:22:59,532
Don't be crazy, Alexander.
877
01:22:59,899 --> 01:23:02,774
There have been enough people killed.
Give yourself up.
878
01:23:02,834 --> 01:23:04,491
No bargains, Anderson!
879
01:23:04,551 --> 01:23:06,487
You want Riccardi alive...
880
01:23:06,547 --> 01:23:07,866
I want out!
881
01:23:07,926 --> 01:23:10,682
What guarantee have I got that
you won't kill Riccardi?
882
01:23:10,742 --> 01:23:13,250
You don't!
-Be sensible, Alexander.
883
01:23:13,979 --> 01:23:16,854
If we let you out now,
we'll get you later.
884
01:23:17,089 --> 01:23:19,040
You'll be dead before morning.
885
01:23:19,245 --> 01:23:21,930
You got 30 seconds to make
up your mind, Anderson!
886
01:23:22,688 --> 01:23:24,053
I go...
887
01:23:24,361 --> 01:23:26,415
or Riccardi gets it in the back!
888
01:23:29,595 --> 01:23:31,388
Sat down, Eddie! Don't move!
889
01:24:05,464 --> 01:24:06,711
Is he dead?
890
01:24:06,771 --> 01:24:09,234
He will be if we don't get
him to a hospital.
891
01:24:15,716 --> 01:24:19,090
That taxi driver must have really
gotten to you in a hurry.
892
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,980
He did, asking for a $1000 reward.
893
01:24:22,337 --> 01:24:26,826
And all the questions you want to ask...
I called Dr Kemble from San Francisco.
894
01:24:27,149 --> 01:24:31,242
We knew Vince killed Jow Williams,
we found his blood on Joe's clothing.
895
01:24:31,604 --> 01:24:34,435
It matched up with our
lab files, yours didn't.
896
01:24:34,740 --> 01:24:37,351
And, Hazel told us the truth about Coke.
897
01:24:37,747 --> 01:24:41,254
Now, just get well. We'll finish
our business later.
898
01:24:42,217 --> 01:24:43,391
Nina...
899
01:24:43,451 --> 01:24:45,782
She's fine...in the waiting room.
900
01:25:05,063 --> 01:25:08,173
You shouldn't kiss a guy like
that when he's sick in bed.
901
01:25:10,205 --> 01:25:14,254
Well, I've been waiting outside all the
time. They wouldn't tell me anything.
902
01:25:14,314 --> 01:25:15,970
I was afraid...
903
01:25:17,151 --> 01:25:18,647
It's all right.
904
01:25:19,674 --> 01:25:21,170
We'll go away.
905
01:25:21,230 --> 01:25:24,222
We'll find that...crazy world of yours.
906
01:25:25,698 --> 01:25:27,151
Sure.
907
01:25:30,408 --> 01:25:32,373
There's only one thing...
908
01:25:33,675 --> 01:25:35,494
You'll always be...
909
01:25:35,758 --> 01:25:37,298
Eddie Rice.
910
01:25:38,853 --> 01:25:40,540
For the rest of my life.
911
01:25:40,990 --> 01:25:43,059
I have the doc's word for him.
912
01:25:44,673 --> 01:25:46,110
Come here.
|
After sustaining a head wound in combat, decorated World War II veteran Eddie Rice (John Payne) is treated at a San Francisco military hospital for a permanent form of amnesia. This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.
Rice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely.

Event/Entity

1
00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556
This is the Letterman General Hosiptal
at San Francisco, California.
2
00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219
For those outside these gates the
war is over, a thing of the past.
3
00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888
For those behind these gates there's a
grim, hard, bitter fight still going on.
4
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518
Take one case, the case
of Eddie Rice, age 33.
5
00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206
Enlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.
Holder of the Silver Star, but today...
6
00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026
A name and date number, a medical file.
For five years a chart on a hospital bed.
7
00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340
A victim of amnesia.
A mind with a blocked out past.
8
00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127
Where were you born, Eddie?
Who are your parents?
9
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912
Any brothers? Sisters?
10
00:01:54,277 --> 00:01:58,775
Where did you go to school?
What's your trade? Profession?
11
00:01:59,433 --> 00:02:01,748
Are you rich?
Poor?
12
00:02:02,051 --> 00:02:03,689
Got a girl?
13
00:02:03,915 --> 00:02:05,289
Married?
14
00:02:05,349 --> 00:02:06,869
I don't know.
15
00:02:07,378 --> 00:02:09,015
I don't know!
16
00:02:09,824 --> 00:02:11,537
I can't remember.
17
00:02:12,444 --> 00:02:14,571
I just can't remember, doctor.
18
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:30,922
You had me open. What did you quit for?
-We did the best we could, Eddie.
19
00:02:31,218 --> 00:02:33,439
It'll just have to stay there.
20
00:02:34,606 --> 00:02:38,483
Is that final?
-Unless you want your name on a headstone.
21
00:02:38,543 --> 00:02:43,592
That shrapnel's too deep in your brain.
Scar tissue has grown all around it.
22
00:02:43,652 --> 00:02:46,980
Believe me, we tried.
-Yeah, I guess you did.
23
00:02:48,391 --> 00:02:52,551
Where do I go from here?
-Eddie, there are two kinds of amnesia:
24
00:02:52,611 --> 00:02:54,895
psychological and organic.
25
00:02:55,178 --> 00:03:00,240
The psychological form is temporary, but
it can be cured through psychotherapy.
26
00:03:01,016 --> 00:03:03,876
Yours is organic, it's permanent.
27
00:03:04,347 --> 00:03:07,772
That piece of steel in your brain
has blocked out your memory.
28
00:03:07,832 --> 00:03:10,863
Which doesn't leave me much
of a future, does it?
29
00:03:10,923 --> 00:03:15,071
Of course it does, physically
you're normal and healthy.
30
00:03:15,131 --> 00:03:17,771
You've received the maximum
medical benefits
31
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:22,559
You've completed training courses that make
you fit to hold down a job and face life.
32
00:03:23,499 --> 00:03:26,540
With no address, no next
of kin, nothing.
33
00:03:27,489 --> 00:03:29,567
Enlisted from Los Angeles...
34
00:03:29,627 --> 00:03:32,397
Intelligence ran that down
for us, remember?
35
00:03:32,867 --> 00:03:35,818
Oh sure, there were a lot of
people named Rice there...
36
00:03:36,026 --> 00:03:37,682
but not this Eddie Rice.
37
00:03:37,742 --> 00:03:41,777
But, Army Intelligence didn't mow
Los Angeles lawns as a kid, Eddie.
38
00:03:41,837 --> 00:03:44,292
They didn't trade at the corner market.
39
00:03:44,352 --> 00:03:48,775
They didn't work with people in a factory,
in an office, as you might have done.
40
00:03:48,986 --> 00:03:50,136
Now...
41
00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:54,081
If you went down there...and ran
into somebody who knew you,
42
00:03:54,141 --> 00:03:55,918
just one person...
43
00:03:56,384 --> 00:03:57,694
Yes...
44
00:03:58,992 --> 00:04:01,702
If I ran into just one person
who knew me.
45
00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:03,689
One guy...
46
00:04:04,785 --> 00:04:07,149
Who would come up to me and say:
47
00:04:07,616 --> 00:04:08,775
"Eddie."
48
00:04:08,986 --> 00:04:10,491
"Eddie Rice."
49
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:12,253
"How have you been?"
50
00:04:12,581 --> 00:04:14,132
"Where have you been?"
51
00:04:14,192 --> 00:04:15,577
That's it, Eddie.
52
00:04:15,637 --> 00:04:18,766
And then, they'd tell me about
someone else I used to know.
53
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:21,626
And, I'd meet somebody else.
54
00:04:22,635 --> 00:04:24,141
And another...
55
00:04:25,342 --> 00:04:26,908
And another...
56
00:04:57,774 --> 00:05:00,996
<i>Sure, it scares you to go out into
a world you don't remember...</i>
57
00:05:01,484 --> 00:05:02,959
<i>but you're here now.</i>
58
00:05:03,742 --> 00:05:05,473
<i>It'll be a new life.</i>
59
00:05:05,805 --> 00:05:07,295
<i>A new start.</i>
60
00:05:08,231 --> 00:05:10,189
<i>Find yourself a place to live.</i>
61
00:05:10,957 --> 00:05:12,613
<i>Get yourself a job.</i>
62
00:05:13,290 --> 00:05:14,540
<i>Get going.</i>
63
00:05:15,353 --> 00:05:16,919
<i>Get going, Eddie!</i>
64
00:05:19,198 --> 00:05:20,357
Eddie!
65
00:05:20,417 --> 00:05:22,736
You know, it's a small world, Eddie.
66
00:05:22,796 --> 00:05:25,266
We came down here to pick
up a little of one thing,
67
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:28,650
and we ran into a little of another!
-A lot of us thought you were dead.
68
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:32,851
Yes, and...those that didn't hoped you
were. What are you doing in town?
69
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,642
I'm just in from San Francisco.
70
00:05:36,702 --> 00:05:40,060
I didn't ask you that.
-He asked you what you were doing in town.
71
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,354
I cam here to look up some...people.
72
00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:45,989
Funny, I...I had a feeling that was it.
73
00:05:46,049 --> 00:05:48,443
Anderson one of them?
-Anderson?
74
00:05:49,719 --> 00:05:50,698
Maybe.
75
00:05:50,758 --> 00:05:54,251
I think you're lying, Eddie. I don't think you
were gonna look up Anderson at all.
76
00:05:54,311 --> 00:05:57,458
Barrett, do you think he was gonna
look up Anderson? -No, Joe.
77
00:05:57,699 --> 00:06:00,108
Not Anderson.
-I'll tell you what...
78
00:06:00,168 --> 00:06:02,737
I got a car and nothing
to do for a while...
79
00:06:02,797 --> 00:06:05,478
Let's go see Anderson together.
Any objections?
80
00:06:07,616 --> 00:06:09,016
No objections.
81
00:06:09,076 --> 00:06:11,256
Stick around, Kelly may still show.
82
00:06:11,452 --> 00:06:12,506
Let's go.
83
00:06:35,122 --> 00:06:37,667
'Honorable discharge of Edward Rice.'
84
00:06:41,972 --> 00:06:43,568
What's the gimmick?
85
00:06:44,110 --> 00:06:46,399
If you'd put away your blackjacks
long enough
86
00:06:46,459 --> 00:06:48,431
maybe I could get it through
your heads that...
87
00:06:48,491 --> 00:06:50,714
I don't know what you're talking about.
88
00:06:50,774 --> 00:06:52,912
You got yourself a sense
of humor, Eddie.
89
00:06:52,972 --> 00:06:56,010
You think you come back here with
a dumb look and a Silver Star...
90
00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:58,958
That changes a no good heel?
-But, I'm trying to tell you that...
91
00:06:59,018 --> 00:07:01,382
You don't have to tell us
anything about yourself.
92
00:07:01,442 --> 00:07:03,881
We got it all down in black and white.
93
00:07:06,019 --> 00:07:07,630
Read it, Riccardi.
94
00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:09,313
We didn't dream it up.
95
00:07:09,795 --> 00:07:12,355
Possession of a weapon
with intent to kill.
96
00:07:12,882 --> 00:07:14,553
Suspicion of murder.
97
00:07:17,184 --> 00:07:18,566
<i>Riccardi...</i>
98
00:07:19,274 --> 00:07:20,960
<i>Eddie Riccardi.</i>
99
00:07:21,638 --> 00:07:25,236
<i>That's not me, it can't be.
It only looks like me!</i>
100
00:07:26,348 --> 00:07:29,103
<i>I better get out of here!
I've got to get out!</i>
101
00:07:29,163 --> 00:07:33,093
Five years ago we hustled you out of town,
for good. Now what are you here for?
102
00:07:34,253 --> 00:07:35,939
<i>You've got to play ball.</i>
103
00:07:35,999 --> 00:07:39,153
<i>You need time. You need more
time to find out about yourself.</i>
104
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,894
Riccardi's just playing dumb, Captain.
105
00:07:42,556 --> 00:07:44,122
Put him in the lockup.
106
00:07:44,498 --> 00:07:47,085
I'm finding about these...
discharge papers.
107
00:07:47,145 --> 00:07:49,358
If they're phonies, we'll pin a
real one on him.
108
00:07:49,418 --> 00:07:50,999
Just a minute, Lieutenant.
109
00:07:52,426 --> 00:07:56,627
I guess, maybe I didn't want the army
to know about Eddie...Riccardi.
110
00:07:57,317 --> 00:08:00,133
The only friends I have
know me as Eddie Rice.
111
00:08:00,916 --> 00:08:02,813
I'd like to keep it that way.
112
00:08:03,219 --> 00:08:05,945
That's probably the first honest
thing you've ever said.
113
00:08:06,005 --> 00:08:07,537
Pick up your things.
114
00:08:10,967 --> 00:08:14,008
Be Eddie Rice in some other
town, but not here.
115
00:08:14,068 --> 00:08:18,540
Now, we can't hold you, but...you step
out of line once and we step on you.
116
00:08:26,034 --> 00:08:28,278
Notice anything different
about him, Williams?
117
00:08:28,338 --> 00:08:31,138
Nothing! If Riccardi stays in town
there's gonna be trouble.
118
00:08:31,198 --> 00:08:34,210
I don't know. He had a strange
look about him.
119
00:08:34,667 --> 00:08:37,934
Send to Washington for a complete
report on Edward Rice.
120
00:08:37,994 --> 00:08:40,870
That Silver Star, you really
do something to get one.
121
00:08:40,930 --> 00:08:43,686
Yeah, buy it in a pawn
shop for two bits.
122
00:09:01,270 --> 00:09:04,944
Nina, my sweet!
My beautiful, lovely...
123
00:09:05,004 --> 00:09:07,609
All right, Nick! Let's keep
it all business.
124
00:09:10,063 --> 00:09:13,240
Who is it this time?
-Petey. Suspicion of robbery.
125
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:16,251
Get him out before they start
shifting him around. -Petey?
126
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:17,588
Him?
127
00:09:17,648 --> 00:09:19,726
He wouldn't steal his own shadow.
128
00:09:19,786 --> 00:09:22,056
That was William's gag to get
him out of the way.
129
00:09:22,116 --> 00:09:25,670
I wouldn't know. Bail's $1000.
-Inflation!
130
00:09:25,730 --> 00:09:27,823
That's the whole trouble these days.
131
00:09:28,847 --> 00:09:30,714
Alexander, he unhappy?
132
00:09:31,252 --> 00:09:34,188
Nick. Keep your mind on your business.
133
00:09:34,248 --> 00:09:36,233
Let Vince worry about his, huh?
134
00:09:36,293 --> 00:09:39,259
Sure, beautiful Sure.
Forget I mentioned it.
135
00:09:53,907 --> 00:09:55,970
Take my advice, you leave town.
136
00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:57,837
I've got things to do.
137
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,125
Adios, boy! You're on your own.
138
00:10:04,466 --> 00:10:05,941
Kelly never showed.
139
00:10:06,001 --> 00:10:07,071
Odd.
140
00:10:07,131 --> 00:10:08,606
We'll hear from him.
141
00:10:18,132 --> 00:10:20,074
One of the usual fronts?
142
00:10:21,098 --> 00:10:24,064
You have a lot of Jane Does, Nick.
Use one of them.
143
00:10:26,732 --> 00:10:28,328
Of course, there's a big difference
144
00:10:28,388 --> 00:10:30,617
between the Florida oranges
and the California oranges.
145
00:10:30,677 --> 00:10:33,131
At least that's what the Chamber
of Commerce in Florida says.
146
00:10:33,191 --> 00:10:35,661
And the Chamber of Commerce
in California says...
147
00:10:35,872 --> 00:10:37,874
Orange juice, please.
-Yes, ma'am.
148
00:10:41,153 --> 00:10:42,388
Eddie.
149
00:10:44,691 --> 00:10:47,281
I thought it was you from
across the street.
150
00:10:48,856 --> 00:10:49,940
Hello.
151
00:10:51,204 --> 00:10:53,794
Is that the only thing
you've got to say?
152
00:10:54,110 --> 00:10:56,640
Well, there's a lot more
I could say, but...
153
00:10:57,107 --> 00:10:58,311
but you...
154
00:10:59,299 --> 00:11:00,609
Let's see...
155
00:11:01,814 --> 00:11:03,425
Nacy Morgan?
156
00:11:03,711 --> 00:11:05,051
Nora Murphy?
157
00:11:05,292 --> 00:11:09,176
No, you don't look like Nora Murphy.
-What'd you come back for, Eddie?
158
00:11:10,216 --> 00:11:12,610
A man has a right to come
home, hasn't he?
159
00:11:14,552 --> 00:11:17,699
My car is across the street,
I'll take you there.
160
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:18,994
Sure!
161
00:11:19,175 --> 00:11:20,228
Thanks.
162
00:11:45,318 --> 00:11:47,089
Vince know you're back?
163
00:11:47,149 --> 00:11:48,360
Vince?
164
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,025
Should he?
165
00:11:51,762 --> 00:11:53,419
You oughta know.
166
00:12:02,797 --> 00:12:04,499
Thanks for the lift.
167
00:12:07,503 --> 00:12:08,828
Coming in?
168
00:12:09,264 --> 00:12:11,447
Who said this was the end of the road?
169
00:12:12,833 --> 00:12:15,091
Who's complaining? Not me.
170
00:12:40,205 --> 00:12:41,530
Checking in?
171
00:12:41,771 --> 00:12:42,870
Long?
172
00:12:44,466 --> 00:12:45,896
I don't know yet.
173
00:12:46,739 --> 00:12:48,019
Alone?
174
00:12:48,648 --> 00:12:49,672
Yes.
175
00:12:52,517 --> 00:12:55,393
Edward Rice...San Francisco.
176
00:12:58,702 --> 00:13:00,042
304.
177
00:13:03,234 --> 00:13:06,757
I'll throw the stuff in the room and
be right back. -If you say so.
178
00:13:29,744 --> 00:13:32,665
Hello? hello, this is Nina.
I want to talk to Vince.
179
00:13:32,725 --> 00:13:33,885
He's busy.
180
00:13:33,945 --> 00:13:36,203
Not too busy for what
I've got to tell him.
181
00:13:36,263 --> 00:13:37,479
<i>He's not here.</i>
182
00:13:37,539 --> 00:13:41,379
Look, let's not keep where he is a
secret it might upset your whole future.
183
00:13:41,439 --> 00:13:42,945
Put me through to him!
184
00:13:55,033 --> 00:13:56,719
You talk too much.
185
00:13:57,397 --> 00:13:59,189
Another treatment, Kelly?
186
00:14:00,453 --> 00:14:01,603
Any...
187
00:14:02,265 --> 00:14:04,750
Any second...breaks, Vince?
188
00:14:06,993 --> 00:14:09,176
I'm easy to do business with.
189
00:14:10,165 --> 00:14:11,520
If you talk...
190
00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:12,830
you live.
191
00:14:14,034 --> 00:14:16,865
All i want to hear is your
angle with Joe Williams.
192
00:14:19,271 --> 00:14:22,463
Give him a cigarette, Danny.
It'll relax him.
193
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:30,609
I'm...trusting you, Vince.
194
00:14:30,834 --> 00:14:32,792
Sure. Sure, Kelly.
195
00:14:33,474 --> 00:14:35,612
I told you we'd turn you loose.
196
00:14:35,672 --> 00:14:37,388
You understand how I...
197
00:14:37,569 --> 00:14:40,942
How a guy feels when he's been
kicked out of the organization?
198
00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:43,633
I know...
199
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:47,533
I shouldn't of been a sucker and
told Williams about the...
200
00:14:48,253 --> 00:14:50,828
...about the silver dollar.
-Forget that.
201
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,915
What did you tell him about this?
-Nothing!
202
00:14:56,455 --> 00:14:58,201
Nothing much, really.
203
00:14:59,044 --> 00:15:01,755
Vince!
-What did you tell him, Kelly?
204
00:15:01,815 --> 00:15:03,185
Really, Vince...
205
00:15:03,381 --> 00:15:04,931
Nothing important.
206
00:15:05,688 --> 00:15:06,757
Just...
207
00:15:07,178 --> 00:15:08,970
a little of this and...
208
00:15:09,527 --> 00:15:11,304
that about the...
209
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,532
about the slot machines and...
210
00:15:14,315 --> 00:15:16,333
and the take. But, I...
211
00:15:16,787 --> 00:15:18,564
I phonied the figures.
212
00:15:19,403 --> 00:15:22,550
Honest I did.
-These figures aren't phoney.
213
00:15:22,836 --> 00:15:24,447
Where'd you get 'em?
214
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,684
Snatched them out of your safe, Vince.
215
00:15:31,219 --> 00:15:33,192
Williams is waiting for 'em.
216
00:15:33,535 --> 00:15:37,359
He was going to bundle me out of town,
bring me back for the trial.
217
00:15:38,696 --> 00:15:42,083
But, I was gonna duck.
They never would of found me.
218
00:15:44,568 --> 00:15:46,480
That's the truth, Vince!
219
00:15:54,771 --> 00:15:56,021
Hello.
220
00:15:56,788 --> 00:15:58,264
Hello, Nina.
221
00:16:02,956 --> 00:16:05,242
You sure it's him?
-I was with him!
222
00:16:05,302 --> 00:16:08,524
First I saw him outside police
headquarters talking to Joe Williams,
223
00:16:08,584 --> 00:16:10,466
then I drove him to the Cortez.
224
00:16:10,689 --> 00:16:14,362
He cked in under the name
of Eddie Rice, room 304.
225
00:16:14,422 --> 00:16:15,552
Thanks.
226
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:37,164
You still want to take that trip, Kelly?
227
00:16:39,317 --> 00:16:41,560
You don't have to worry about me, Vince.
228
00:16:42,019 --> 00:16:43,028
Don.
229
00:16:44,194 --> 00:16:45,820
Big mouth Kelly.
230
00:16:46,257 --> 00:16:48,832
You think what he's got
may be contagious?
231
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:50,563
Very...catchy.
232
00:16:51,562 --> 00:16:54,648
What's your opinion, Don?
-Very, definitely.
233
00:16:56,621 --> 00:16:58,283
What can I do?
234
00:16:59,322 --> 00:17:01,686
The consultation's in agreement.
235
00:17:04,595 --> 00:17:05,769
Kelly!
236
00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:07,380
You're dead!
237
00:17:09,097 --> 00:17:10,527
Oh, and Kelly...
238
00:17:10,774 --> 00:17:14,749
When you get to where you're going,
have 'em give you a nice, even burn.
239
00:17:14,809 --> 00:17:17,579
Don't let them just fry you on one side.
240
00:18:01,054 --> 00:18:05,210
I'm sorry to bother you again, but..
has there been any sign of the girl yet?
241
00:18:07,876 --> 00:18:09,051
Thanks.
242
00:18:40,394 --> 00:18:42,743
Don't you believe in knocking on doors?
243
00:18:43,857 --> 00:18:45,814
Who are you? What do you want?
244
00:19:00,538 --> 00:19:02,661
So, that's where you've been hold up...
245
00:19:02,932 --> 00:19:04,498
Eddie Rice!
246
00:19:05,181 --> 00:19:08,990
No wonder I couldn't get a line on you.
Are you back sightseeing?
247
00:19:09,378 --> 00:19:10,854
Mr Rice?
248
00:19:13,052 --> 00:19:15,326
This supposed to be a free country?
249
00:19:15,684 --> 00:19:17,250
Free town?
250
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:18,951
Open to anyone?
251
00:19:19,011 --> 00:19:20,366
Not with me in it.
252
00:19:20,635 --> 00:19:23,240
You didn't waste much time
picking up with the cops.
253
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:27,395
Why should it worry you about
me talking to Williams?
254
00:19:27,455 --> 00:19:29,274
You've got me confused, Eddie.
255
00:19:29,771 --> 00:19:33,460
Only a sucker would walk back in
town after the deal you pulled.
256
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,979
Some things a fella has to...
257
00:19:37,401 --> 00:19:39,102
find out for himself.
258
00:19:40,096 --> 00:19:41,948
Not about you and me.
259
00:19:50,768 --> 00:19:53,283
I've been saving this for five years.
260
00:19:54,021 --> 00:19:57,378
Everyone in life has his bible,
this is mine.
261
00:19:58,978 --> 00:20:03,661
I take it out and read it every day. I read
it to remind me of a guy I grew up with.
262
00:20:03,917 --> 00:20:05,648
Got shoved around with.
263
00:20:06,277 --> 00:20:08,566
We used to take a lot of raps together.
264
00:20:09,439 --> 00:20:13,143
Some people would call a guy
like that a...a loyal friend.
265
00:20:13,968 --> 00:20:15,353
He was.
266
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:22,050
Until he turned into a dirty stool pigeon,
and let me take the rap for him!
267
00:20:38,866 --> 00:20:40,070
Eddie...
268
00:20:41,380 --> 00:20:42,811
Riccardi?
269
00:20:43,025 --> 00:20:47,105
My good friend who sold me out
to a cop named Joe Williams!
270
00:20:58,268 --> 00:21:00,541
Don't mess up his face too much.
271
00:21:03,876 --> 00:21:05,909
I ought to kill you, Eddie.
272
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:08,709
But, you're not worth taking
another rap for!
273
00:21:08,769 --> 00:21:11,058
In 24 hours...disappear!
274
00:21:11,935 --> 00:21:15,006
Otherwise, I might be tempted
to change my mind!
275
00:21:15,624 --> 00:21:17,205
Give him some air!
276
00:22:11,865 --> 00:22:14,153
<i>Why didn't the girl come back?</i>
277
00:22:15,523 --> 00:22:17,812
<i>What did she know about me?</i>
278
00:22:18,730 --> 00:22:20,808
<i>Why did she bring me here?</i>
279
00:22:21,847 --> 00:22:23,111
<i>Vince...</i>
280
00:22:24,060 --> 00:22:26,123
<i>Why didn't Vince kill me?</i>
281
00:22:27,402 --> 00:22:29,450
<i>Maybe I deserved it.</i>
282
00:22:30,625 --> 00:22:33,140
<i>Maybe Dr Kemble ought to know?</i>
283
00:22:34,224 --> 00:22:36,051
<i>I better tell him.</i>
284
00:22:37,226 --> 00:22:39,033
<i>I better call him.</i>
285
00:22:40,328 --> 00:22:41,908
<i>I better...</i>
286
00:22:44,659 --> 00:22:45,879
Hello.
287
00:22:46,391 --> 00:22:50,456
I want to put through a call, person
to person. Dr Kemble...
288
00:22:50,652 --> 00:22:53,392
Letterman Genral Hospital,
San Francisco.
289
00:22:54,435 --> 00:22:56,091
K-E-M-B-L-E
290
00:22:57,411 --> 00:22:58,736
Thank you.
291
00:23:14,170 --> 00:23:15,961
Hello, Dr Kemble?
292
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,812
When do you expect him back?
293
00:23:19,219 --> 00:23:20,920
Not till tomorrow?
294
00:23:22,121 --> 00:23:24,500
Never mind, I'll see him personally.
295
00:24:15,503 --> 00:24:18,780
Forget about Union Station.
Take me to 7 Braxton Avenue.
296
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:30,476
Wait for me.
297
00:24:51,762 --> 00:24:53,961
Thanks a lot Lou, for driving me home.
298
00:24:54,021 --> 00:24:57,393
Just a minute, darling.
I'll walk to the door with you.
299
00:24:58,990 --> 00:25:02,378
It's early, Nina. A little drink for
a nightcap won't hurt you.
300
00:25:02,589 --> 00:25:04,456
That's what you think.
301
00:25:04,516 --> 00:25:07,825
You could make me forget that
thousand I dropped tonight, Nina.
302
00:25:07,885 --> 00:25:11,182
I can forget a lot of things, Lou.
You, for instance.
303
00:25:11,242 --> 00:25:13,633
Good night.
-Just a minute, baby.
304
00:25:13,693 --> 00:25:16,328
I'd like a little receipt
for that grand.
305
00:25:19,246 --> 00:25:20,827
That's better.
306
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:25,539
That's your receipt. Good night.
307
00:25:45,117 --> 00:25:46,758
Now listen...
308
00:25:50,045 --> 00:25:51,461
Go ahead.
309
00:25:51,521 --> 00:25:53,237
Take a good look.
310
00:25:53,629 --> 00:25:58,055
If you came to tell me how Vince welcomed
you back, you've said it. So, goodbye!
311
00:25:58,673 --> 00:26:02,272
I want to know what you had
to do with me...in my life.
312
00:26:04,596 --> 00:26:06,057
And this.
313
00:26:10,473 --> 00:26:12,160
December the 24th,
314
00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:13,801
1943.
315
00:26:14,162 --> 00:26:16,120
Ah, that was a lovely Christmas.
316
00:26:16,903 --> 00:26:19,041
One I'll never forget.
317
00:26:24,136 --> 00:26:26,380
Only one of your presents!
318
00:26:29,297 --> 00:26:33,664
Sure, I told Vince Alexander
you're back. I work for him.
319
00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:39,946
This clipping...
320
00:26:40,955 --> 00:26:45,366
Why couldn't you testify at the trial?
-Oh, no routines, I've heard them all.
321
00:26:48,454 --> 00:26:51,436
Listen to me!
I'm just out of an army hospital
322
00:26:51,496 --> 00:26:54,507
with a piece of steel in my head
and no memory to go with it.
323
00:26:54,567 --> 00:26:57,756
I'm here to find out about myself and
I'm getting answers the hard way!
324
00:26:57,816 --> 00:27:00,677
I don't know you, Vince Alexander...
325
00:27:00,737 --> 00:27:05,055
or anybody called Eddie Riccardi!
All I know is one person, Eddie Rice! Me!
326
00:27:07,178 --> 00:27:09,391
You're the last person I can turn to.
327
00:27:10,472 --> 00:27:12,263
Please believe me.
328
00:27:12,850 --> 00:27:14,115
Help me.
329
00:27:16,584 --> 00:27:19,039
That's a very touching speech.
330
00:27:21,477 --> 00:27:23,901
You lost your memory.
331
00:27:24,564 --> 00:27:28,298
You don't know why I couldn't
testify at the trial.
332
00:27:28,529 --> 00:27:32,067
You've forgotten how you used me to
make sure Vince would go to prison
333
00:27:32,127 --> 00:27:33,829
so you'd be set free.
334
00:27:33,889 --> 00:27:37,966
But, if you're back to your old tricks
again I've got sad news for you,
335
00:27:38,026 --> 00:27:40,752
I tore up your raincheck
three years ago.
336
00:27:43,494 --> 00:27:45,587
I'm not your wife anymore.
337
00:28:05,380 --> 00:28:08,090
Now to the station?
-Back to the hotel.
338
00:28:47,065 --> 00:28:49,579
You act like a cop that just
lost a conviction?
339
00:28:49,639 --> 00:28:52,877
Maybe I have, take a look at these.
Fresh out of the photo lab.
340
00:28:54,339 --> 00:28:56,808
Sharks don't talk, the
fingerprints spell Kelly.
341
00:28:56,868 --> 00:28:59,413
The Coroner said he was dead two
hours before he hit the water.
342
00:28:59,473 --> 00:29:01,807
Too bad. With the information
Kelly had for us
343
00:29:01,867 --> 00:29:04,186
we could have put Vince
away for a long stretch.
344
00:29:05,335 --> 00:29:07,066
What's eating you, Joe?
345
00:29:07,563 --> 00:29:09,295
I was a smart cop.
346
00:29:09,355 --> 00:29:12,712
I put Petey away to get him off of
Kelly's tail, and this is what happens.
347
00:29:12,772 --> 00:29:14,594
I feel like I killed Kelly.
348
00:29:14,654 --> 00:29:16,897
Riccardi...think he's tied up in it?
349
00:29:16,957 --> 00:29:19,909
Walking back into town that day
could tie him up in anything.
350
00:29:20,237 --> 00:29:22,706
Is the case my baby?
-All yours.
351
00:29:24,916 --> 00:29:26,301
Now what?
352
00:29:26,361 --> 00:29:28,936
I figure we shouldn't keep
it a secret from Vince.
353
00:29:40,844 --> 00:29:43,087
Only six days in the week now, huh?
354
00:29:43,455 --> 00:29:46,557
How do you like that, the card
must have fell out.
355
00:29:46,617 --> 00:29:48,604
It was there yesterday. Nick...
356
00:29:48,664 --> 00:29:50,125
Who's Jane Doe?
357
00:29:50,185 --> 00:29:52,817
Please, Lieutenant. I don't look
at their birth certificate.
358
00:29:52,877 --> 00:29:55,075
Lots of people don't use
their right names.
359
00:29:55,135 --> 00:29:59,002
With me, a buck is a buck.
I don't ask questions.
360
00:29:59,318 --> 00:30:02,435
Before I'm through, Nick...
you'll be answering a few.
361
00:30:08,026 --> 00:30:12,377
It's gettin' so you can't tail a guy anymore
without having the cops jump on ya.
362
00:30:12,437 --> 00:30:14,666
This town's goin' to the dogs.
363
00:30:14,981 --> 00:30:18,143
Samson and me...
-Petey! Get that cat off the desk!
364
00:30:18,776 --> 00:30:22,133
I was just saying, Samson and
me could stand a vacation.
365
00:30:22,389 --> 00:30:25,340
You want us to blow town?
-That's just what I don't want.
366
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,047
Coke will set you up, and stay quiet!
367
00:30:28,107 --> 00:30:30,667
Well, sure Vince, sure.
Anything you say.
368
00:31:05,567 --> 00:31:06,922
Hello, Danny.
369
00:31:16,370 --> 00:31:18,327
Come in. Come in, Joe.
370
00:31:18,674 --> 00:31:22,543
Pull up a chair and rest your feet.
I hear you've had a busy day.
371
00:31:26,329 --> 00:31:29,099
I figured you would.
I was saving you for last.
372
00:31:30,183 --> 00:31:31,644
Should I...
373
00:31:31,930 --> 00:31:33,993
relax or call in my lawyer?
374
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:36,698
That depends on how nervous you are.
375
00:31:36,758 --> 00:31:39,529
I was always thought nervous
guys bit their nails?
376
00:31:39,589 --> 00:31:41,095
Now, let me see...
377
00:31:41,317 --> 00:31:44,675
Nick was a little bit hazy about
who Jane Doe was.
378
00:31:44,946 --> 00:31:47,144
I thought you might be able to tell me.
379
00:31:47,336 --> 00:31:49,113
Never heard of the girl.
380
00:31:49,173 --> 00:31:50,634
Then there's Petey.
381
00:31:50,694 --> 00:31:54,654
And how certain people got know where
and just when to bail him out.
382
00:31:54,714 --> 00:31:57,014
Now...nobody knows anything.
383
00:31:57,421 --> 00:31:58,912
But, we'll find him.
384
00:31:59,273 --> 00:32:01,863
We;ve got all exits out of town plugged.
385
00:32:03,697 --> 00:32:06,483
And I got a hunch he'll
be real cooperative.
386
00:32:06,769 --> 00:32:08,063
You see...
387
00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:10,698
I don't think he knows
anything about this.
388
00:32:11,090 --> 00:32:12,249
Kelly.
389
00:32:12,798 --> 00:32:15,162
He's gone and gotten himself killed.
390
00:32:15,915 --> 00:32:17,571
Just like Kelly...
391
00:32:17,842 --> 00:32:19,920
You never know what he'll do next.
392
00:32:20,191 --> 00:32:21,983
That goes for a lot of guys.
393
00:32:22,449 --> 00:32:23,910
Take you and...
394
00:32:24,482 --> 00:32:26,529
Then again, take Eddie Riccardi...
395
00:32:26,589 --> 00:32:29,962
You boys forgive and forget,
and back in business again.
396
00:32:31,037 --> 00:32:34,485
You and Riccardi got a lot in common,
why don't you ask him?
397
00:32:34,545 --> 00:32:36,352
At the moment, you're number one.
398
00:32:36,623 --> 00:32:40,281
And, it won't be any...manslaughter
charge and out in two years.
399
00:32:41,076 --> 00:32:43,048
I put you away this time...
400
00:32:43,334 --> 00:32:44,840
it'll be for keeps.
401
00:32:47,035 --> 00:32:50,031
You got all the answers figured
out, haven't you?
402
00:32:50,091 --> 00:32:52,636
I might have, sooner than you think.
403
00:32:53,959 --> 00:32:55,479
So sorry!
404
00:33:35,693 --> 00:33:39,292
Me, I never had a complaint.
You call my old boss.
405
00:33:39,352 --> 00:33:42,115
He'll tell you my bringing in 500
a night at the gambling tables
406
00:33:42,175 --> 00:33:44,344
was a small bag of tell.
407
00:33:45,169 --> 00:33:48,993
Oh, Mr Alexander! I just came in looking
for a job and I was telling Ms Martin...
408
00:33:49,053 --> 00:33:50,378
Get rid of her.
409
00:33:51,278 --> 00:33:55,238
Vince, we need some new talent...
-Okay! Okay! Come back at eight tonight.
410
00:33:55,298 --> 00:33:58,324
She'll tell you what to do.
-Oh, gee! Thanks!
411
00:34:01,806 --> 00:34:03,899
You know Eddie's still in town?
412
00:34:05,013 --> 00:34:06,172
Yes.
413
00:34:06,353 --> 00:34:08,024
Been around to see you?
414
00:34:09,667 --> 00:34:10,796
When?
415
00:34:11,534 --> 00:34:13,266
Late last night.
416
00:34:14,184 --> 00:34:16,548
Did he tell ya I gave him
24 hours to get out?
417
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,249
No.
418
00:34:19,872 --> 00:34:22,793
Well, I changed my mind.
I want him to stay.
419
00:34:23,049 --> 00:34:25,142
I want you to make sure he does stay.
420
00:34:26,876 --> 00:34:29,827
My job's to work the tables
for you here, Vince, and...
421
00:34:30,324 --> 00:34:34,961
I don't even mind setups like the one with
Petey or...other deals like that, but...
422
00:34:36,439 --> 00:34:37,613
Vince...
423
00:34:38,336 --> 00:34:40,534
Stay out of my personal life!
424
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:42,311
Listen you...
425
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,041
When Eddie dropped you, who picked
you up and gave you your health?
426
00:34:46,101 --> 00:34:49,053
Who gave you your job?
Everything you got?
427
00:34:49,459 --> 00:34:51,206
Vince Alexander!
428
00:34:52,806 --> 00:34:54,538
I won't do it, Vince.
429
00:34:54,598 --> 00:34:55,923
Forget Eddie.
430
00:34:55,983 --> 00:34:57,639
When I get through with him.
431
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,717
But, now you're gonna meet him.
432
00:35:00,715 --> 00:35:03,440
And, I want you to make sure
he does stay in town.
433
00:35:34,220 --> 00:35:35,566
What'll it be?
434
00:35:35,626 --> 00:35:37,854
Did five years make you
forget that easily?
435
00:35:37,914 --> 00:35:41,016
I told you...in five years you
can forget a lot of things.
436
00:35:41,076 --> 00:35:43,064
Something for the lady?
-Rob Roy, please.
437
00:35:43,124 --> 00:35:44,491
The same.
438
00:35:48,131 --> 00:35:50,932
What made you change your mind
about seeing me again?
439
00:35:54,897 --> 00:35:58,210
You know, finding out I was married
to you kind of threw me.
440
00:35:58,992 --> 00:36:02,169
It was even something the boys at
the hospital used to rib me about.
441
00:36:02,564 --> 00:36:05,605
They had me fixed up with a
wife and four or five kids.
442
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:09,881
They didn't know how close the
gag came to being true.
443
00:36:11,474 --> 00:36:13,672
You still don't believe me, do you?
444
00:36:21,056 --> 00:36:25,236
Maybe this'll convince you it was Eddie
Rice that rang your doorbell last night.
445
00:36:26,537 --> 00:36:29,909
Call Dr Kemble at Letterman's
Hospital in San Francisco.
446
00:36:31,007 --> 00:36:33,025
He'll tell you the whole story.
447
00:36:38,141 --> 00:36:39,767
Tha cigarette case...
448
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,323
Doesn't it mean anything to you?
449
00:36:47,468 --> 00:36:48,868
Should it?
450
00:36:54,926 --> 00:36:57,350
Suppose I did believe you, then what?
451
00:36:59,488 --> 00:37:03,569
Then, I'd try and make you forget that
Eddie Riccardi was ever in your life.
452
00:37:04,476 --> 00:37:06,403
You think you can do that?
453
00:37:07,216 --> 00:37:08,737
Eddie Rice can.
454
00:37:20,823 --> 00:37:22,570
Eddie, leave town.
455
00:37:24,533 --> 00:37:27,228
Now you're talking like Vince.
-Maybe I was yesterday.
456
00:37:27,288 --> 00:37:30,492
Don't ask me why, but go.
-Nina, I don't frighten easily.
457
00:37:30,552 --> 00:37:33,353
You can take that message back to Vince.
Tell him I'm staying!
458
00:37:33,413 --> 00:37:36,816
That's what he wants you to do. That's
why I'm here, to keep you from leaving.
459
00:37:36,876 --> 00:37:38,740
I'd hate to disappoint him then.
460
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,895
Eddie, don't be stubborn, I know Vince.
He doesn't do anything without a reason.
461
00:37:43,964 --> 00:37:45,530
Neither do I.
462
00:37:47,802 --> 00:37:52,590
Stay then! Get yourself beaten up again,
or killed. Do anything you want.
463
00:38:35,782 --> 00:38:38,267
Riccardi.
-Very interesting.
464
00:38:47,205 --> 00:38:48,936
Scotch over water.
465
00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:53,136
Lose something, Charlie?
466
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,406
Tell Nina Martin, Eddie wants to see her.
-Eddie who?
467
00:38:59,658 --> 00:39:01,103
Just Eddie.
468
00:39:01,630 --> 00:39:03,060
Wait here.
469
00:39:11,467 --> 00:39:12,943
What'll I need?
470
00:39:13,003 --> 00:39:15,653
A thousand might bring you luck.
-A thousand?
471
00:39:15,894 --> 00:39:17,475
Give me a thousand.
472
00:39:24,925 --> 00:39:27,891
A character called Eddie's outside,
wants to see you.
473
00:39:27,951 --> 00:39:29,412
Eddie here?
474
00:39:29,788 --> 00:39:31,204
Get rid of him!
475
00:39:31,425 --> 00:39:33,668
That's not what Vince had in mind.
476
00:39:43,422 --> 00:39:44,972
All right, come on.
477
00:39:53,097 --> 00:39:54,663
6...9...12!
478
00:39:54,919 --> 00:39:56,636
All bets down.
479
00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:04,549
It's a nice layout. Vince ought to be
able to pick up some fast money.
480
00:40:04,609 --> 00:40:07,063
You're crazy to come walking in here.
481
00:40:07,123 --> 00:40:09,273
Maybe I'm just hard to convince.
482
00:40:10,477 --> 00:40:12,374
My dressing room is back there.
483
00:40:13,925 --> 00:40:16,590
I'll be back before the
wheel stops turning.
484
00:40:34,853 --> 00:40:35,973
Yeah?
485
00:40:37,478 --> 00:40:38,939
Okay, thanks.
486
00:40:43,645 --> 00:40:45,813
So, she wanted to get rid of him.
487
00:40:47,179 --> 00:40:50,040
I wonder if that dame is trying
to pull a double cross.
488
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,129
Get down to the Golden Horn and pick up
Eddie Riccardi, you'll find him with Nina.
489
00:40:55,189 --> 00:40:56,270
Just him?
490
00:40:56,571 --> 00:40:57,746
Just him.
491
00:40:58,197 --> 00:41:00,110
I'll get around to her later.
492
00:41:03,747 --> 00:41:05,569
I started to leave...
493
00:41:05,794 --> 00:41:08,309
but I kept thinking about
everything you told me.
494
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,230
If I'd of left I'd been all the
things you said I was.
495
00:41:11,727 --> 00:41:13,232
So, I'm staying.
496
00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:17,505
And, I'm taking you out of here.
497
00:41:18,498 --> 00:41:19,673
Nina.
498
00:41:21,043 --> 00:41:23,436
We could have a decent life together.
499
00:41:26,553 --> 00:41:28,465
You got it all figured out.
500
00:41:31,452 --> 00:41:36,089
Well, you're not taking me anywhere.
You pushed me into this life and I like it.
501
00:41:36,481 --> 00:41:41,374
I'm top bait around here steering nice,
fat, pigeons to the gambling table.
502
00:41:41,434 --> 00:41:46,174
I'm one of Vince's kind now and I'm keeping
my life and my job just the way they are.
503
00:41:46,234 --> 00:41:48,026
No matter what I have to do!
504
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:49,934
Come on.
505
00:41:59,090 --> 00:42:00,144
Thanks.
506
00:42:10,804 --> 00:42:13,469
Now, how about some champagne?
507
00:42:14,389 --> 00:42:17,581
Excuse me for a minute, honey.
I forgot I got to call my wife.
508
00:42:32,729 --> 00:42:35,048
Williams, Homicide.
Yeah, Barnes.
509
00:42:36,509 --> 00:42:37,653
Yeah!
510
00:42:38,586 --> 00:42:39,881
Thanks a lot!
511
00:42:40,377 --> 00:42:41,898
What's exciting?
512
00:42:50,385 --> 00:42:54,646
I said, what's exciting? Or, don't
you want to wake me up?
513
00:42:55,138 --> 00:42:59,113
Barnes casing the Golden Horn for vice
intel, tells me Riccardi just walked in.
514
00:42:59,805 --> 00:43:01,266
Trouble maybe?
515
00:43:01,717 --> 00:43:04,924
I could think of plenty of reasons why
there might be for Eddie Rice.
516
00:43:05,478 --> 00:43:07,300
You'll hear from me later.
517
00:43:25,961 --> 00:43:28,189
How you coming with that
Kelly report, Ben?
518
00:43:28,249 --> 00:43:30,945
Just finishing up for you.
-Okay, I'll wait.
519
00:43:33,515 --> 00:43:36,586
Somebody must've believed in that
old gag about an apple a day.
520
00:43:36,646 --> 00:43:40,513
Yeah, but they didn't know it would pin
a murder on them. -Quite an appetite.
521
00:43:40,573 --> 00:43:43,253
Psychological, it creates
a false hunger.
522
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:50,156
Well, here you are, Joe.
I can go home now.
523
00:43:50,216 --> 00:43:53,454
Thanks a lot, Ben. See you tomorrow.
-Okay, see ya tomorrow.
524
00:44:06,875 --> 00:44:07,778
Yeah?
525
00:44:07,838 --> 00:44:10,970
I'm interested in Eddie Riccardi,
not in what's going on in there.
526
00:44:11,030 --> 00:44:13,680
We don't know from Riccardi.
-I do, open up.
527
00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:18,240
Place your bets, folks. Place your
bets. Bet high/low...odd or even.
528
00:44:38,711 --> 00:44:39,795
Yes?
529
00:44:39,990 --> 00:44:43,438
Miss Martin? Williams, Homicide.
May I come in please?
530
00:44:43,732 --> 00:44:44,982
Come in.
531
00:44:47,432 --> 00:44:50,820
Eddie was just picked up by Danny.
-Where'd he take him?
532
00:44:52,557 --> 00:44:54,424
You'll hear from me later.
533
00:45:14,826 --> 00:45:16,377
You know, Williams?
534
00:45:17,054 --> 00:45:19,524
I'm not used to cops with insomnia.
535
00:45:20,201 --> 00:45:22,791
What's on your mind?
-It won't take long.
536
00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:25,960
Danny picked up Eddie Riccardi.
Where are they?
537
00:45:27,537 --> 00:45:29,329
You're in an awful rut.
538
00:45:29,540 --> 00:45:31,497
Always asking questions.
539
00:45:31,557 --> 00:45:33,846
All right...let's start over.
540
00:45:34,581 --> 00:45:37,306
Eddie was at the Golden Horn
with Nina Martin.
541
00:45:37,366 --> 00:45:39,685
Suddenly, he wasn't there anymore.
542
00:45:40,208 --> 00:45:41,368
So...
543
00:45:41,578 --> 00:45:44,018
So...I don't mind waiting.
544
00:45:45,900 --> 00:45:48,053
While we kill a little time...
545
00:45:49,429 --> 00:45:51,176
This might interest you.
546
00:46:01,803 --> 00:46:05,733
And, after we pick up Riccardi...
we're going down to police headquarters.
547
00:46:06,034 --> 00:46:08,579
You're gonna have a manicure...on me.
548
00:46:10,294 --> 00:46:13,380
You know, you're gonna look awful
silly when I get through with you.
549
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,819
If I'm wrong...I'll apologize.
550
00:46:21,050 --> 00:46:23,264
Say hello, nothing more.
551
00:46:25,733 --> 00:46:26,862
Hello.
552
00:46:27,674 --> 00:46:31,408
Vince, we're at the shop. Do we
stay or bring Riccardi up there?
553
00:46:32,507 --> 00:46:34,238
Tell him you'll be down.
554
00:46:52,464 --> 00:46:53,699
Okay, Coke...
555
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,385
<i>Bring him up here.</i>
556
00:47:28,724 --> 00:47:30,530
What do you want now?
557
00:47:41,819 --> 00:47:44,605
Just when he was coming up
in the department.
558
00:49:14,591 --> 00:49:15,886
Car 9-4
559
00:49:15,946 --> 00:49:17,813
9-4 to Control-4.
560
00:49:17,873 --> 00:49:20,252
<i>Clear Frequency-4, this is an emergency.</i>
561
00:49:20,312 --> 00:49:23,126
Control-4 to 94, go ahead.
562
00:49:23,186 --> 00:49:25,099
<i>Car 94 to Control-4</i>
563
00:49:25,159 --> 00:49:29,209
<i>Notify the Homicide Bureau, we have found
the body of Lt Williams in his car.</i>
564
00:49:29,269 --> 00:49:31,133
At Sepulveda and Sunset.
565
00:50:17,423 --> 00:50:18,763
Give you a lift, son?
566
00:50:18,823 --> 00:50:21,485
Thanks, I had a little accident
back up a side road.
567
00:50:21,545 --> 00:50:24,556
I have to go to town, get a tow car.
-Anybody killed?
568
00:50:27,016 --> 00:50:29,561
No luck at all tonight.
Hop in.
569
00:50:39,349 --> 00:50:42,090
Bet you thought I wouldn't stop
to pick you up, didn't you?
570
00:50:42,150 --> 00:50:43,638
I didn't know.
571
00:50:43,698 --> 00:50:45,113
It's late.
-See...
572
00:50:45,173 --> 00:50:49,130
That's why I fooled you. Have me orders.
Pick up anybody, anytime.
573
00:50:49,747 --> 00:50:51,870
Green Acres Morticians policy.
574
00:50:52,094 --> 00:50:54,698
Live today...maybe a customer tomorrow.
575
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,400
Pays off too.
576
00:50:56,460 --> 00:50:59,848
Most people remember the nice things
you do for them while they're living.
577
00:50:59,908 --> 00:51:03,864
We sure don't get any complaints about our
service from them after they're dead.
578
00:51:03,924 --> 00:51:05,927
Their family, that is.
579
00:51:07,423 --> 00:51:09,441
That accident hurt you any?
580
00:51:10,992 --> 00:51:13,069
Got a match?
-Sure do.
581
00:51:19,645 --> 00:51:21,813
Police, ambulance and everything.
582
00:51:22,114 --> 00:51:24,312
I wonder if I'm losing any customers?
583
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:40,902
Finished with Joe's stuff yet?
-Still working on it.
584
00:51:43,326 --> 00:51:44,816
It's too bad...
585
00:51:45,434 --> 00:51:48,460
Joe's wife sure liked him
in that suit too.
586
00:52:13,311 --> 00:52:16,021
Any line on Riccardi yet?
-Nothing, Captain.
587
00:52:16,081 --> 00:52:19,710
Keep trying, he's the last one who
might of seen Joe. -Okay.
588
00:52:20,197 --> 00:52:21,718
Eddie Riccardi.
589
00:52:24,187 --> 00:52:26,445
Guess Williams was right after all.
590
00:52:26,701 --> 00:52:28,538
Riccardi or Rice.
591
00:52:28,826 --> 00:52:32,530
A Silver Star and a dumb look doesn't
change a no good heel.
592
00:52:33,147 --> 00:52:36,173
Attention all units!
Attention all units!
593
00:52:36,233 --> 00:52:40,175
Be on the lookout for the following
<i>described suspect, wanted for murder:</i>
594
00:52:40,551 --> 00:52:43,322
<i>Eddie Riccardi, alias Eddie Rice,</i>
595
00:52:43,589 --> 00:52:46,164
<i>White male, American,</i>
596
00:52:46,224 --> 00:52:49,341
<i>Age 33, 6 foot 2.</i>
597
00:52:49,729 --> 00:52:51,506
<i>190 lbs...</i>
598
00:52:51,957 --> 00:52:53,312
<i>Dark brown...</i>
599
00:52:53,659 --> 00:52:55,944
You phone the cops and do 'em a favor,
600
00:52:56,004 --> 00:53:00,024
where to find a dead cop and the guy
that did it, and what happens...
601
00:53:05,972 --> 00:53:08,035
The first stop is Nina Martin's.
602
00:53:08,276 --> 00:53:10,474
I want Eddie before the cops get him.
603
00:53:10,730 --> 00:53:12,913
Then they can have him for a present.
604
00:53:14,334 --> 00:53:15,915
And alive!
605
00:53:32,066 --> 00:53:33,843
Eddie!
-Shut up!
606
00:53:34,168 --> 00:53:36,065
Get those lights out!
607
00:53:37,285 --> 00:53:39,152
Eddie, what happened?
608
00:53:40,533 --> 00:53:43,951
You certainly did a neat job
of tying me into a murder.
609
00:53:44,011 --> 00:53:46,089
Joe Williams was killed tonight.
610
00:53:46,149 --> 00:53:47,901
You?
-I don't know.
611
00:53:47,961 --> 00:53:51,138
The last thing I remember was being slugged
over the head at Vince Alexander's.
612
00:53:51,198 --> 00:53:53,713
I know you think that...
-I haven't got time to think!
613
00:53:53,773 --> 00:53:57,811
All I want is a few bucks, your car and
you in my sight till I get out of here!
614
00:53:57,871 --> 00:53:59,874
Eddie, you've got to believe me!
615
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:01,335
Believe?
616
00:54:01,656 --> 00:54:03,508
Like you believed me?
617
00:54:03,885 --> 00:54:05,661
Give me the keys!
618
00:54:10,271 --> 00:54:14,017
Eddie! This is why I turned on you
tonight, to get you away from Vince.
619
00:54:14,077 --> 00:54:16,992
The keys are in the car, you go,
I'll try to stall them off.
620
00:54:17,224 --> 00:54:19,468
And get a bullet in the back of my head?
621
00:54:19,528 --> 00:54:22,404
Oh, Eddie! You've got to trust me,
it's your only chance.
622
00:54:24,815 --> 00:54:26,091
Quick!
623
00:54:26,444 --> 00:54:28,043
The garage.
624
00:55:25,770 --> 00:55:29,188
This is where you get out. -Go to the
police, Eddie. Before it's too late.
625
00:55:29,248 --> 00:55:32,400
With my fingerprints all over the
gun and all over Williams car?
626
00:55:32,460 --> 00:55:35,257
I wouldn't last long enough to walk
to the nearest police station.
627
00:55:35,317 --> 00:55:38,133
If I did what could I tell them?
Now out!
628
00:55:38,788 --> 00:55:41,737
You want me to go home and wait
for Vince to come back again?
629
00:55:41,797 --> 00:55:45,800
That's something Eddie Riccardo would
tell me to do, not Eddie Rice.
630
00:55:49,139 --> 00:55:50,606
All right.
631
00:56:06,538 --> 00:56:07,668
Stop.
632
00:56:11,312 --> 00:56:13,997
Keep your lights off and
the motor running.
633
00:56:57,233 --> 00:56:59,889
Well, now you've got a gun! What next?
634
00:57:01,213 --> 00:57:04,044
I didn't ask for any killings,
so I'm in the middle.
635
00:57:04,528 --> 00:57:07,711
But, I'm not going to be a clay
pigeon for Vince Alexander.
636
00:57:08,308 --> 00:57:10,513
You can't prove anything dead.
637
00:57:10,573 --> 00:57:14,597
That would make Vince very happy,
something I wouldn't want to let happen.
638
00:57:15,047 --> 00:57:18,758
Is there any place we could go, someone
you can trust to put us up for the night?
639
00:57:18,818 --> 00:57:20,299
I need time.
640
00:57:21,747 --> 00:57:23,404
Maybe there is.
641
00:57:23,464 --> 00:57:25,443
It's a long chance, but...
642
00:57:28,917 --> 00:57:31,763
You don't think you're going to
get away with this, do you?
643
00:57:32,276 --> 00:57:34,477
We're staying here till tomorrow.
644
00:57:42,766 --> 00:57:46,004
Stay away from that phone!
If it rings, let it keep ringing!
645
00:57:46,064 --> 00:57:48,953
Get rid of anybody who comes to
the door, I'll be right behind you
646
00:57:49,013 --> 00:57:50,845
in case you give the wrong answers.
647
00:57:55,517 --> 00:57:58,539
What about the girl's place?
-There and gone.
648
00:57:58,599 --> 00:58:02,705
Get a teletype out on her car immediately,
have it re-broadcast every half hour.
649
00:58:08,211 --> 00:58:10,661
I want roadblocks at all these points.
650
00:58:10,721 --> 00:58:12,705
I want the airport, the railroad station,
651
00:58:12,765 --> 00:58:15,536
all the bus terminals put
under a 24 surveillance.
652
00:58:15,596 --> 00:58:18,001
I want every hotel and
flophouse notified.
653
00:58:18,061 --> 00:58:20,818
They're in this town somewhere
and they're not getting out.
654
00:58:21,019 --> 00:58:22,354
One other thing...
655
00:58:22,414 --> 00:58:26,887
We picked up Riccardi's fingerprints on
that gun shop. He's got a gun now.
656
00:58:27,294 --> 00:58:29,421
Don't give him a chance to use it!
657
00:58:29,481 --> 00:58:31,284
All right, start moving.
658
00:58:31,344 --> 00:58:33,908
<i>The police tightened its dragnet
about the city today.</i>
659
00:58:33,968 --> 00:58:36,988
<i>Riccardi escaped just as the police
were ready to close in on him</i>
660
00:58:37,048 --> 00:58:39,197
<i>after they received an
anonymous phone call</i>
661
00:58:39,257 --> 00:58:42,292
<i>which led them to discover the murdered
body of one of their men today.</i>
662
00:58:42,352 --> 00:58:44,067
<i>Every available man...</i>
663
00:58:47,714 --> 00:58:49,958
We'll wait till it's dark
and get out of here.
664
00:58:50,018 --> 00:58:52,423
You couldn't arrange to
drop dead before then?
665
00:58:52,483 --> 00:58:55,606
Hazel, you've got to believe us.
Eddie didn't do it!
666
00:58:55,897 --> 00:58:57,936
He should still drop dead.
667
00:58:58,269 --> 00:58:59,604
Twice.
668
01:00:12,318 --> 01:00:13,477
Coke!
669
01:00:36,274 --> 01:00:38,401
Get me a couple of clean towels.
670
01:00:42,231 --> 01:00:43,771
It's pretty bad.
671
01:00:44,739 --> 01:00:49,052
I'll have you out of here in a minute,
we'll find a doctor. -Go to the police.
672
01:00:49,497 --> 01:00:51,448
Eddie, go to the police.
673
01:00:53,848 --> 01:00:55,961
Your car in the garage?
-Yes.
674
01:00:56,021 --> 01:00:58,704
Where are your keys?
-In my purse.
675
01:00:58,764 --> 01:01:00,288
Take care of her.
676
01:01:22,875 --> 01:01:23,843
Thanks.
677
01:01:23,903 --> 01:01:26,748
I'll have the doctor come right
in the moment he returns.
678
01:01:38,651 --> 01:01:40,602
Light me a cigarette.
679
01:02:02,498 --> 01:02:04,288
You're far away.
680
01:02:06,205 --> 01:02:07,614
How far?
681
01:02:09,418 --> 01:02:10,885
Five years.
682
01:02:11,545 --> 01:02:13,041
A lifetime.
683
01:02:14,259 --> 01:02:15,961
Beyond that, a blank.
684
01:02:17,162 --> 01:02:18,879
Me too, Eddie.
685
01:02:18,939 --> 01:02:21,270
Only, it's been a different
kind of a blank.
686
01:02:21,798 --> 01:02:24,453
It's being pushed back
to Eddie Riccardi.
687
01:02:24,937 --> 01:02:26,184
This.
688
01:02:26,811 --> 01:02:30,215
The whole past that keeps me
from being like other people.
689
01:02:30,992 --> 01:02:32,763
Now all that's left is
690
01:02:32,823 --> 01:02:36,460
wondering what it would be like if there
had only been an Eddie Rice.
691
01:02:38,540 --> 01:02:41,287
If I'd of just met you
for the first time.
692
01:02:43,087 --> 01:02:45,508
Eddie Rice can have that.
693
01:02:48,248 --> 01:02:50,610
Oh, you're...good, Eddie.
694
01:02:51,681 --> 01:02:53,368
You're good.
695
01:02:54,934 --> 01:02:57,622
You've taken away the hate in me.
696
01:02:58,176 --> 01:02:59,995
Destroyed it.
697
01:03:01,946 --> 01:03:03,912
You're...good, Eddie.
698
01:03:07,874 --> 01:03:10,573
When a baby wants to be born,
hours don't matter!
699
01:03:10,633 --> 01:03:12,554
7 poundsd 7ounces...a boy.
700
01:03:12,614 --> 01:03:14,549
Doctor, her shoulder...
701
01:03:29,779 --> 01:03:31,760
I can't treat gun wounds.
702
01:03:31,820 --> 01:03:34,679
She'll have to go to the police
emergency hospital.
703
01:03:34,739 --> 01:03:36,179
I don't think so.
704
01:03:36,239 --> 01:03:39,260
I'm sorry, but I've got to report
this to the police.
705
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:40,624
Doctor.
706
01:03:41,138 --> 01:03:43,191
That report to the police...
707
01:03:43,539 --> 01:03:44,918
It'll wait.
708
01:03:45,123 --> 01:03:47,368
If you want to pull that
trigger, go ahead.
709
01:03:49,535 --> 01:03:51,603
Police headquarters, please.
710
01:03:53,055 --> 01:03:56,092
Put that gun away! I said I was
going to call the police.
711
01:03:56,293 --> 01:03:57,775
Police headquarters?
712
01:03:57,980 --> 01:04:00,914
This is Dr Stacey, 93 Chestnut Street.
713
01:04:01,174 --> 01:04:03,492
Send an ambulance and a squad car.
714
01:04:09,003 --> 01:04:10,602
How bad is it?
715
01:04:14,534 --> 01:04:16,118
She'll be all right.
716
01:04:18,447 --> 01:04:20,262
You'd better leave.
717
01:04:27,035 --> 01:04:30,805
Eddie, I'm scared...I'm scared...
-Take it easy, you'll be all right.
718
01:04:30,865 --> 01:04:33,341
Not for me, for you.
-Listen...
719
01:04:33,531 --> 01:04:37,507
I'm leaving you for a little while.
I've got an idea, it might work.
720
01:04:37,567 --> 01:04:39,672
Something very important.
721
01:04:40,214 --> 01:04:44,395
You knew all about me. The people
I used to know, the places I went.
722
01:04:44,699 --> 01:04:46,855
Think for me, go back five years.
723
01:04:46,915 --> 01:04:51,110
Who was there? Just one person.
Give me the answers, quick!
724
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,289
What you say is my only chance,
the only chance I've got.
725
01:04:54,349 --> 01:04:58,231
The only one left is...Petey.
He can't be trusted with Vince.
726
01:04:58,291 --> 01:05:01,337
Where will I find him?
-Not him, he's... -Tell me!
727
01:05:01,759 --> 01:05:04,457
Two, three places on Main Street.
728
01:05:05,198 --> 01:05:07,034
Fourth and Main...
729
01:05:07,094 --> 01:05:10,091
And after Nina ran in front of him,
Coke never had a chance.
730
01:05:10,151 --> 01:05:11,748
That Eddie sure didn't miss.
731
01:05:11,808 --> 01:05:14,345
Coke took three, went right through
his breakfast, lunch and supper.
732
01:05:14,405 --> 01:05:16,575
Anybody come around, ask any questions?
733
01:05:16,635 --> 01:05:19,900
None I couldn't answer, Vince.
-Get back down and keep him company.
734
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,570
But...but, the police?
-That's exactly what I want!
735
01:05:22,630 --> 01:05:25,559
Tell him how Riccardi broke into your
apartment, found Coke there
736
01:05:25,619 --> 01:05:28,727
pulled his gun and fired. Now do
what I told you, just that!
737
01:05:29,035 --> 01:05:31,250
All right, Vince.
-Take her back!
738
01:05:35,048 --> 01:05:37,293
Eddie's got to find a doctor somewhere.
739
01:05:37,484 --> 01:05:39,581
And, if he does what I think, he'll...
740
01:05:39,772 --> 01:05:42,295
dump the girl...and start looking
for a hidewaway.
741
01:05:43,785 --> 01:05:44,973
Get going!
742
01:05:45,033 --> 01:05:48,039
Spread the news I got a personal
interest in Eddie Riccardi.
743
01:05:48,099 --> 01:05:50,870
I don't want anything to happen
to him...until I get there.
744
01:05:51,389 --> 01:05:53,443
Unless the cops get him first.
745
01:05:54,467 --> 01:05:57,841
You through with him, Doc?
-Yup. He was a fine specimen.
746
01:05:57,901 --> 01:06:00,041
Would have had a long life
if this hadn't happened.
747
01:06:00,101 --> 01:06:02,051
I'll send you my report in the morning.
748
01:06:05,694 --> 01:06:08,335
I'm sure you don't mind coming
downtown, Miss Downs?
749
01:06:08,395 --> 01:06:10,477
Well, I...
-I thought not.
750
01:06:12,659 --> 01:06:14,859
What'd you find?
-It was them all right.
751
01:06:14,919 --> 01:06:17,471
Riccardi left the doctor's office
about 30 minutes ago
752
01:06:17,531 --> 01:06:20,830
Notify Communications? -They're blanketing
the whole area. -The girl?
753
01:06:20,890 --> 01:06:25,608
County Jail Hospital. Still out, whether
she's playing it safe or just not talking.
754
01:06:25,668 --> 01:06:29,085
Keep Melon there, the minute she comes
out, I want to know. -Any ideas?
755
01:06:29,145 --> 01:06:31,970
Lots! We need Riccardi to
explain some of them.
756
01:06:32,157 --> 01:06:34,196
If he lives that long.
757
01:06:38,347 --> 01:06:41,120
Hello. I'm looking for Petey,
have you seen him?
758
01:06:42,691 --> 01:06:44,671
Do you know where to find him?
759
01:06:57,552 --> 01:07:00,780
<i>Nina said three or four places,
I must have hit twenty.</i>
760
01:07:01,245 --> 01:07:03,196
<i>And every answer the same.</i>
761
01:07:03,710 --> 01:07:04,810
<i>No.</i>
762
01:07:05,803 --> 01:07:08,605
<i>The shake of their head,
a frightened face.</i>
763
01:07:10,111 --> 01:07:14,043
<i>They knew where I could find what I was
looking for, but they wouldn't talk.</i>
764
01:07:14,483 --> 01:07:16,141
<i>They were scared.</i>
765
01:08:08,257 --> 01:08:11,660
But, Vince! Appreciate the fact
that at least I called you.
766
01:08:11,961 --> 01:08:14,015
I let him stay, it's another rap.
767
01:08:14,075 --> 01:08:17,623
Another rap, I get life! You've
got to appreciate that!
768
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,296
And I'd appreciate it if you'd
tell me where to find Petey.
769
01:08:24,044 --> 01:08:25,306
Right now!
770
01:08:25,366 --> 01:08:26,758
Sure, Eddie.
771
01:08:27,096 --> 01:08:28,152
Sure.
772
01:08:34,841 --> 01:08:36,822
Ocean Boulevard and 25th.
773
01:09:43,996 --> 01:09:46,490
Who's there? Who is it?
-Eddie.
774
01:09:47,355 --> 01:09:48,910
Eddie Riccardi.
775
01:09:49,277 --> 01:09:52,886
Oh, Eddie boy. Every cop in the
city is out gunning for you!
776
01:09:53,350 --> 01:09:55,403
Maybe you don't care if you live...
777
01:09:55,711 --> 01:09:57,604
I got a few more years left!
778
01:09:57,839 --> 01:09:59,526
Open the door, Petey.
779
01:10:00,083 --> 01:10:01,799
You're dead if you don't.
780
01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:04,769
All right, Eddie.
781
01:10:12,804 --> 01:10:15,914
You didn't think I'd leave you out
there in the cold, did you Eddie?
782
01:10:16,545 --> 01:10:20,550
Five years, no see! But, you sure got
a hot fire burning under you, huh?
783
01:10:21,019 --> 01:10:22,105
Yeah.
784
01:10:24,891 --> 01:10:26,900
You need a pal, a friend.
785
01:10:30,025 --> 01:10:32,240
Sure, I need a friend, Petey.
786
01:10:32,483 --> 01:10:36,263
Look, old friend... Will you...will
you put that mouthpiece away?
787
01:10:36,323 --> 01:10:39,153
Somehow I...I still believe they go off!
788
01:10:39,926 --> 01:10:42,669
And, Samson my cat, you remember my cat?
789
01:10:44,180 --> 01:10:46,439
He's not feeling too good again.
790
01:10:46,949 --> 01:10:49,545
You stay careful and
nothing will happen.
791
01:10:49,605 --> 01:10:53,110
Oh sure. Sure, Eddie. You're
talking to Petey, remember?
792
01:10:53,340 --> 01:10:55,746
Any objections to my moving in with you?
793
01:10:56,025 --> 01:10:58,416
I'll be gone, tomorrow or the next day.
794
01:10:58,476 --> 01:11:01,771
Oh, me? Turn away practically,
my own flesh and blood?
795
01:11:03,341 --> 01:11:04,822
Relax, Eddie.
796
01:11:08,491 --> 01:11:11,308
There you are, Eddie. Nothing's
too good for you.
797
01:11:12,355 --> 01:11:16,154
How about some food, Petey?
I haven't eaten all night.
798
01:11:16,536 --> 01:11:18,370
You haven't changed a bit.
799
01:11:18,590 --> 01:11:20,086
Always hungry!
800
01:11:20,146 --> 01:11:22,022
Still tied up with Vince?
801
01:11:24,002 --> 01:11:27,670
I do a little private eyeing on the side.
A job here, a job there.
802
01:11:28,007 --> 01:11:29,284
Nothing big.
803
01:11:31,150 --> 01:11:32,705
I'll telephone.
804
01:11:43,749 --> 01:11:47,358
Hello, friend? Petey! I got
a special customer.
805
01:11:47,828 --> 01:11:49,852
Yeah. Yeah, an old one.
806
01:11:50,881 --> 01:11:54,094
How about sending something over?
He's tired and hungry.
807
01:11:54,813 --> 01:11:56,778
A pot of coffee and a sandwich.
808
01:11:56,969 --> 01:11:58,011
Turkey.
809
01:11:58,266 --> 01:11:59,352
Tongue
810
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:01,684
Egg salad combination.
811
01:12:02,638 --> 01:12:04,442
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
812
01:12:05,543 --> 01:12:06,863
You got it.
813
01:12:12,752 --> 01:12:16,068
You see, Eddie? Everything's
just like old times.
814
01:12:16,655 --> 01:12:18,474
If you say so, Petey.
815
01:12:20,114 --> 01:12:21,948
I'm gettin' kinda sleepy.
816
01:12:22,271 --> 01:12:25,308
You just make yourself at home,
food will be along pretty soon.
817
01:12:25,368 --> 01:12:28,183
Vince has gotten to be a big
man the last five years.
818
01:12:28,675 --> 01:12:31,168
I'm really gettin' pretty tired, friend.
819
01:12:31,228 --> 01:12:33,457
Why don't you bring me
up to date, Petey?
820
01:12:33,517 --> 01:12:35,247
I'm really awful tired, friend!
821
01:12:35,307 --> 01:12:37,501
How long will it take Vince to get here?
822
01:12:37,971 --> 01:12:40,861
Eddie...Eddie, you...you embarrass me.
823
01:12:41,135 --> 01:12:43,834
I'll kill you if you don't give
it to me straight, Petey!
824
01:12:43,894 --> 01:12:47,047
Eddie...Eddie, don't talk like that.
Samson's sick!
825
01:12:47,543 --> 01:12:50,403
I'm telling you, Eddie!
-What are you telling me? How long?
826
01:12:50,463 --> 01:12:53,557
Five minutes? Ten? Fifteen minutes?
Twenty minutes?
827
01:12:54,096 --> 01:12:57,015
About...about fifteen minutes, Eddie.
828
01:12:57,323 --> 01:13:00,902
Vince puts you on the spot!
He's that way with all the boys!
829
01:13:01,162 --> 01:13:04,781
Blow Eddie! Take me with you.
You and me was always friends!
830
01:13:04,841 --> 01:13:08,273
You just stay in front of me and keep your
mouth shut and you won't get into trouble.
831
01:13:08,333 --> 01:13:11,265
Sure, Eddie! You got nothing
to worry about from me.
832
01:13:11,325 --> 01:13:14,361
Just stay my friend, Petey.
-Yeah, Eddie.
833
01:13:27,837 --> 01:13:29,935
You're retired, you can go home now.
834
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:32,601
Your friend want a ride?
-Not tonight.
835
01:13:34,995 --> 01:13:36,151
$2.80
836
01:13:36,711 --> 01:13:39,616
This will get you a thousand.
Come on, Petey.
837
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,005
Take care of Petey.
838
01:15:45,187 --> 01:15:46,434
Eddie!
839
01:15:46,625 --> 01:15:48,165
Let's get out of here!
840
01:15:49,661 --> 01:15:51,158
Go ahead, Petey.
841
01:15:51,610 --> 01:15:52,974
Thanks, Eddie.
842
01:15:54,148 --> 01:15:55,615
They're coming!
843
01:18:02,988 --> 01:18:04,191
Eddie.
844
01:18:04,792 --> 01:18:06,274
Can you hear me?
845
01:18:09,079 --> 01:18:10,898
We can make a break.
846
01:18:11,558 --> 01:18:13,319
Cover for each other.
847
01:18:14,096 --> 01:18:15,739
I got a place.
848
01:18:17,148 --> 01:18:18,820
You and me, Eddie.
849
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,342
We'll start up again.
850
01:18:22,914 --> 01:18:25,056
Just like old times.
851
01:18:30,072 --> 01:18:31,671
I got money, Eddie.
852
01:18:32,992 --> 01:18:34,327
Big money!
853
01:18:37,521 --> 01:18:39,355
Samson! Samson!
854
01:18:39,986 --> 01:18:41,159
Samson!
855
01:18:43,096 --> 01:18:44,841
Petey! Come back!
856
01:18:46,807 --> 01:18:47,908
Samson.
857
01:18:48,318 --> 01:18:50,446
Samson, baby. Samson.
858
01:19:47,773 --> 01:19:50,091
Riccardi! Alexander!
859
01:19:50,292 --> 01:19:53,813
We'll give you three minutes to come out.
We're gonna start counting.
860
01:19:54,135 --> 01:19:57,920
At the end of three minutes if you're
not out, we're coming to get you!
861
01:19:58,429 --> 01:20:00,600
This is your last chance, Eddie.
862
01:20:01,862 --> 01:20:04,121
There's just you and me left now.
863
01:20:04,181 --> 01:20:05,676
No deal, Vince.
864
01:20:06,455 --> 01:20:08,538
I know you killed Joe Williams.
865
01:20:08,978 --> 01:20:10,357
Okay...
866
01:20:11,516 --> 01:20:13,071
No deals.
867
01:21:51,795 --> 01:21:54,993
We want you, Riccardi..
Alive, Alexander!
868
01:21:55,595 --> 01:21:58,646
If you're in there and not wounded,
bring Riccardi out.
869
01:21:59,653 --> 01:22:03,761
You, Riccardi! If you're alone, come
out with your hands in the air!
870
01:22:06,712 --> 01:22:09,176
Here's when you and I part company.
871
01:22:09,396 --> 01:22:12,081
You're gonna get paid off in full.
872
01:22:41,345 --> 01:22:43,574
Thanks for bringing him out, Vince.
873
01:22:43,853 --> 01:22:47,169
Now, drop your gun.
I said drop your gun, Vince!
874
01:22:49,233 --> 01:22:51,932
Eddie will take what I
got first, Anderson!
875
01:22:54,015 --> 01:22:56,568
All police officers hold your fire!
876
01:22:57,552 --> 01:22:59,532
Don't be crazy, Alexander.
877
01:22:59,899 --> 01:23:02,774
There have been enough people killed.
Give yourself up.
878
01:23:02,834 --> 01:23:04,491
No bargains, Anderson!
879
01:23:04,551 --> 01:23:06,487
You want Riccardi alive...
880
01:23:06,547 --> 01:23:07,866
I want out!
881
01:23:07,926 --> 01:23:10,682
What guarantee have I got that
you won't kill Riccardi?
882
01:23:10,742 --> 01:23:13,250
You don't!
-Be sensible, Alexander.
883
01:23:13,979 --> 01:23:16,854
If we let you out now,
we'll get you later.
884
01:23:17,089 --> 01:23:19,040
You'll be dead before morning.
885
01:23:19,245 --> 01:23:21,930
You got 30 seconds to make
up your mind, Anderson!
886
01:23:22,688 --> 01:23:24,053
I go...
887
01:23:24,361 --> 01:23:26,415
or Riccardi gets it in the back!
888
01:23:29,595 --> 01:23:31,388
Sat down, Eddie! Don't move!
889
01:24:05,464 --> 01:24:06,711
Is he dead?
890
01:24:06,771 --> 01:24:09,234
He will be if we don't get
him to a hospital.
891
01:24:15,716 --> 01:24:19,090
That taxi driver must have really
gotten to you in a hurry.
892
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,980
He did, asking for a $1000 reward.
893
01:24:22,337 --> 01:24:26,826
And all the questions you want to ask...
I called Dr Kemble from San Francisco.
894
01:24:27,149 --> 01:24:31,242
We knew Vince killed Jow Williams,
we found his blood on Joe's clothing.
895
01:24:31,604 --> 01:24:34,435
It matched up with our
lab files, yours didn't.
896
01:24:34,740 --> 01:24:37,351
And, Hazel told us the truth about Coke.
897
01:24:37,747 --> 01:24:41,254
Now, just get well. We'll finish
our business later.
898
01:24:42,217 --> 01:24:43,391
Nina...
899
01:24:43,451 --> 01:24:45,782
She's fine...in the waiting room.
900
01:25:05,063 --> 01:25:08,173
You shouldn't kiss a guy like
that when he's sick in bed.
901
01:25:10,205 --> 01:25:14,254
Well, I've been waiting outside all the
time. They wouldn't tell me anything.
902
01:25:14,314 --> 01:25:15,970
I was afraid...
903
01:25:17,151 --> 01:25:18,647
It's all right.
904
01:25:19,674 --> 01:25:21,170
We'll go away.
905
01:25:21,230 --> 01:25:24,222
We'll find that...crazy world of yours.
906
01:25:25,698 --> 01:25:27,151
Sure.
907
01:25:30,408 --> 01:25:32,373
There's only one thing...
908
01:25:33,675 --> 01:25:35,494
You'll always be...
909
01:25:35,758 --> 01:25:37,298
Eddie Rice.
910
01:25:38,853 --> 01:25:40,540
For the rest of my life.
911
01:25:40,990 --> 01:25:43,059
I have the doc's word for him.
912
01:25:44,673 --> 01:25:46,110
Come here.

After sustaining a head wound in combat, decorated World War II veteran Eddie Rice (John Payne) is treated at a San Francisco military hospital for a permanent form of amnesia. This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.
Rice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely.

1
00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556
This is the Letterman General Hosiptal
at San Francisco, California.
2
00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219
For those outside these gates the
war is over, a thing of the past.
3
00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888
For those behind these gates there's a
grim, hard, bitter fight still going on.
4
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518
Take one case, the case
of Eddie Rice, age 33.
5
00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206
Enlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.
Holder of the Silver Star, but today...
6
00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026
A name and date number, a medical file.
For five years a chart on a hospital bed.
7
00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340
A victim of amnesia.
A mind with a blocked out past.
8
00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127
Where were you born, Eddie?
Who are your parents?
9
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912
Any brothers? Sisters?
10
00:01:54,277 --> 00:01:58,775
Where did you go to school?
What's your trade? Profession?
11
00:01:59,433 --> 00:02:01,748
Are you rich?
Poor?
12
00:02:02,051 --> 00:02:03,689
Got a girl?
13
00:02:03,915 --> 00:02:05,289
Married?
14
00:02:05,349 --> 00:02:06,869
I don't know.
15
00:02:07,378 --> 00:02:09,015
I don't know!
16
00:02:09,824 --> 00:02:11,537
I can't remember.
17
00:02:12,444 --> 00:02:14,571
I just can't remember, doctor.
18
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:30,922
You had me open. What did you quit for?
-We did the best we could, Eddie.
19
00:02:31,218 --> 00:02:33,439
It'll just have to stay there.
20
00:02:34,606 --> 00:02:38,483
Is that final?
-Unless you want your name on a headstone.
21
00:02:38,543 --> 00:02:43,592
That shrapnel's too deep in your brain.
Scar tissue has grown all around it.
22
00:02:43,652 --> 00:02:46,980
Believe me, we tried.
-Yeah, I guess you did.
23
00:02:48,391 --> 00:02:52,551
Where do I go from here?
-Eddie, there are two kinds of amnesia:
24
00:02:52,611 --> 00:02:54,895
psychological and organic.
25
00:02:55,178 --> 00:03:00,240
The psychological form is temporary, but
it can be cured through psychotherapy.
26
00:03:01,016 --> 00:03:03,876
Yours is organic, it's permanent.
27
00:03:04,347 --> 00:03:07,772
That piece of steel in your brain
has blocked out your memory.
28
00:03:07,832 --> 00:03:10,863
Which doesn't leave me much
of a future, does it?
29
00:03:10,923 --> 00:03:15,071
Of course it does, physically
you're normal and healthy.
30
00:03:15,131 --> 00:03:17,771
You've received the maximum
medical benefits
31
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:22,559
You've completed training courses that make
you fit to hold down a job and face life.
32
00:03:23,499 --> 00:03:26,540
With no address, no next
of kin, nothing.
33
00:03:27,489 --> 00:03:29,567
Enlisted from Los Angeles...
34
00:03:29,627 --> 00:03:32,397
Intelligence ran that down
for us, remember?
35
00:03:32,867 --> 00:03:35,818
Oh sure, there were a lot of
people named Rice there...
36
00:03:36,026 --> 00:03:37,682
but not this Eddie Rice.
37
00:03:37,742 --> 00:03:41,777
But, Army Intelligence didn't mow
Los Angeles lawns as a kid, Eddie.
38
00:03:41,837 --> 00:03:44,292
They didn't trade at the corner market.
39
00:03:44,352 --> 00:03:48,775
They didn't work with people in a factory,
in an office, as you might have done.
40
00:03:48,986 --> 00:03:50,136
Now...
41
00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:54,081
If you went down there...and ran
into somebody who knew you,
42
00:03:54,141 --> 00:03:55,918
just one person...
43
00:03:56,384 --> 00:03:57,694
Yes...
44
00:03:58,992 --> 00:04:01,702
If I ran into just one person
who knew me.
45
00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:03,689
One guy...
46
00:04:04,785 --> 00:04:07,149
Who would come up to me and say:
47
00:04:07,616 --> 00:04:08,775
"Eddie."
48
00:04:08,986 --> 00:04:10,491
"Eddie Rice."
49
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:12,253
"How have you been?"
50
00:04:12,581 --> 00:04:14,132
"Where have you been?"
51
00:04:14,192 --> 00:04:15,577
That's it, Eddie.
52
00:04:15,637 --> 00:04:18,766
And then, they'd tell me about
someone else I used to know.
53
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:21,626
And, I'd meet somebody else.
54
00:04:22,635 --> 00:04:24,141
And another...
55
00:04:25,342 --> 00:04:26,908
And another...
56
00:04:57,774 --> 00:05:00,996
<i>Sure, it scares you to go out into
a world you don't remember...</i>
57
00:05:01,484 --> 00:05:02,959
<i>but you're here now.</i>
58
00:05:03,742 --> 00:05:05,473
<i>It'll be a new life.</i>
59
00:05:05,805 --> 00:05:07,295
<i>A new start.</i>
60
00:05:08,231 --> 00:05:10,189
<i>Find yourself a place to live.</i>
61
00:05:10,957 --> 00:05:12,613
<i>Get yourself a job.</i>
62
00:05:13,290 --> 00:05:14,540
<i>Get going.</i>
63
00:05:15,353 --> 00:05:16,919
<i>Get going, Eddie!</i>
64
00:05:19,198 --> 00:05:20,357
Eddie!
65
00:05:20,417 --> 00:05:22,736
You know, it's a small world, Eddie.
66
00:05:22,796 --> 00:05:25,266
We came down here to pick
up a little of one thing,
67
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:28,650
and we ran into a little of another!
-A lot of us thought you were dead.
68
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:32,851
Yes, and...those that didn't hoped you
were. What are you doing in town?
69
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,642
I'm just in from San Francisco.
70
00:05:36,702 --> 00:05:40,060
I didn't ask you that.
-He asked you what you were doing in town.
71
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,354
I cam here to look up some...people.
72
00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:45,989
Funny, I...I had a feeling that was it.
73
00:05:46,049 --> 00:05:48,443
Anderson one of them?
-Anderson?
74
00:05:49,719 --> 00:05:50,698
Maybe.
75
00:05:50,758 --> 00:05:54,251
I think you're lying, Eddie. I don't think you
were gonna look up Anderson at all.
76
00:05:54,311 --> 00:05:57,458
Barrett, do you think he was gonna
look up Anderson? -No, Joe.
77
00:05:57,699 --> 00:06:00,108
Not Anderson.
-I'll tell you what...
78
00:06:00,168 --> 00:06:02,737
I got a car and nothing
to do for a while...
79
00:06:02,797 --> 00:06:05,478
Let's go see Anderson together.
Any objections?
80
00:06:07,616 --> 00:06:09,016
No objections.
81
00:06:09,076 --> 00:06:11,256
Stick around, Kelly may still show.
82
00:06:11,452 --> 00:06:12,506
Let's go.
83
00:06:35,122 --> 00:06:37,667
'Honorable discharge of Edward Rice.'
84
00:06:41,972 --> 00:06:43,568
What's the gimmick?
85
00:06:44,110 --> 00:06:46,399
If you'd put away your blackjacks
long enough
86
00:06:46,459 --> 00:06:48,431
maybe I could get it through
your heads that...
87
00:06:48,491 --> 00:06:50,714
I don't know what you're talking about.
88
00:06:50,774 --> 00:06:52,912
You got yourself a sense
of humor, Eddie.
89
00:06:52,972 --> 00:06:56,010
You think you come back here with
a dumb look and a Silver Star...
90
00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:58,958
That changes a no good heel?
-But, I'm trying to tell you that...
91
00:06:59,018 --> 00:07:01,382
You don't have to tell us
anything about yourself.
92
00:07:01,442 --> 00:07:03,881
We got it all down in black and white.
93
00:07:06,019 --> 00:07:07,630
Read it, Riccardi.
94
00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:09,313
We didn't dream it up.
95
00:07:09,795 --> 00:07:12,355
Possession of a weapon
with intent to kill.
96
00:07:12,882 --> 00:07:14,553
Suspicion of murder.
97
00:07:17,184 --> 00:07:18,566
<i>Riccardi...</i>
98
00:07:19,274 --> 00:07:20,960
<i>Eddie Riccardi.</i>
99
00:07:21,638 --> 00:07:25,236
<i>That's not me, it can't be.
It only looks like me!</i>
100
00:07:26,348 --> 00:07:29,103
<i>I better get out of here!
I've got to get out!</i>
101
00:07:29,163 --> 00:07:33,093
Five years ago we hustled you out of town,
for good. Now what are you here for?
102
00:07:34,253 --> 00:07:35,939
<i>You've got to play ball.</i>
103
00:07:35,999 --> 00:07:39,153
<i>You need time. You need more
time to find out about yourself.</i>
104
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,894
Riccardi's just playing dumb, Captain.
105
00:07:42,556 --> 00:07:44,122
Put him in the lockup.
106
00:07:44,498 --> 00:07:47,085
I'm finding about these...
discharge papers.
107
00:07:47,145 --> 00:07:49,358
If they're phonies, we'll pin a
real one on him.
108
00:07:49,418 --> 00:07:50,999
Just a minute, Lieutenant.
109
00:07:52,426 --> 00:07:56,627
I guess, maybe I didn't want the army
to know about Eddie...Riccardi.
110
00:07:57,317 --> 00:08:00,133
The only friends I have
know me as Eddie Rice.
111
00:08:00,916 --> 00:08:02,813
I'd like to keep it that way.
112
00:08:03,219 --> 00:08:05,945
That's probably the first honest
thing you've ever said.
113
00:08:06,005 --> 00:08:07,537
Pick up your things.
114
00:08:10,967 --> 00:08:14,008
Be Eddie Rice in some other
town, but not here.
115
00:08:14,068 --> 00:08:18,540
Now, we can't hold you, but...you step
out of line once and we step on you.
116
00:08:26,034 --> 00:08:28,278
Notice anything different
about him, Williams?
117
00:08:28,338 --> 00:08:31,138
Nothing! If Riccardi stays in town
there's gonna be trouble.
118
00:08:31,198 --> 00:08:34,210
I don't know. He had a strange
look about him.
119
00:08:34,667 --> 00:08:37,934
Send to Washington for a complete
report on Edward Rice.
120
00:08:37,994 --> 00:08:40,870
That Silver Star, you really
do something to get one.
121
00:08:40,930 --> 00:08:43,686
Yeah, buy it in a pawn
shop for two bits.
122
00:09:01,270 --> 00:09:04,944
Nina, my sweet!
My beautiful, lovely...
123
00:09:05,004 --> 00:09:07,609
All right, Nick! Let's keep
it all business.
124
00:09:10,063 --> 00:09:13,240
Who is it this time?
-Petey. Suspicion of robbery.
125
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:16,251
Get him out before they start
shifting him around. -Petey?
126
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:17,588
Him?
127
00:09:17,648 --> 00:09:19,726
He wouldn't steal his own shadow.
128
00:09:19,786 --> 00:09:22,056
That was William's gag to get
him out of the way.
129
00:09:22,116 --> 00:09:25,670
I wouldn't know. Bail's $1000.
-Inflation!
130
00:09:25,730 --> 00:09:27,823
That's the whole trouble these days.
131
00:09:28,847 --> 00:09:30,714
Alexander, he unhappy?
132
00:09:31,252 --> 00:09:34,188
Nick. Keep your mind on your business.
133
00:09:34,248 --> 00:09:36,233
Let Vince worry about his, huh?
134
00:09:36,293 --> 00:09:39,259
Sure, beautiful Sure.
Forget I mentioned it.
135
00:09:53,907 --> 00:09:55,970
Take my advice, you leave town.
136
00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:57,837
I've got things to do.
137
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,125
Adios, boy! You're on your own.
138
00:10:04,466 --> 00:10:05,941
Kelly never showed.
139
00:10:06,001 --> 00:10:07,071
Odd.
140
00:10:07,131 --> 00:10:08,606
We'll hear from him.
141
00:10:18,132 --> 00:10:20,074
One of the usual fronts?
142
00:10:21,098 --> 00:10:24,064
You have a lot of Jane Does, Nick.
Use one of them.
143
00:10:26,732 --> 00:10:28,328
Of course, there's a big difference
144
00:10:28,388 --> 00:10:30,617
between the Florida oranges
and the California oranges.
145
00:10:30,677 --> 00:10:33,131
At least that's what the Chamber
of Commerce in Florida says.
146
00:10:33,191 --> 00:10:35,661
And the Chamber of Commerce
in California says...
147
00:10:35,872 --> 00:10:37,874
Orange juice, please.
-Yes, ma'am.
148
00:10:41,153 --> 00:10:42,388
Eddie.
149
00:10:44,691 --> 00:10:47,281
I thought it was you from
across the street.
150
00:10:48,856 --> 00:10:49,940
Hello.
151
00:10:51,204 --> 00:10:53,794
Is that the only thing
you've got to say?
152
00:10:54,110 --> 00:10:56,640
Well, there's a lot more
I could say, but...
153
00:10:57,107 --> 00:10:58,311
but you...
154
00:10:59,299 --> 00:11:00,609
Let's see...
155
00:11:01,814 --> 00:11:03,425
Nacy Morgan?
156
00:11:03,711 --> 00:11:05,051
Nora Murphy?
157
00:11:05,292 --> 00:11:09,176
No, you don't look like Nora Murphy.
-What'd you come back for, Eddie?
158
00:11:10,216 --> 00:11:12,610
A man has a right to come
home, hasn't he?
159
00:11:14,552 --> 00:11:17,699
My car is across the street,
I'll take you there.
160
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:18,994
Sure!
161
00:11:19,175 --> 00:11:20,228
Thanks.
162
00:11:45,318 --> 00:11:47,089
Vince know you're back?
163
00:11:47,149 --> 00:11:48,360
Vince?
164
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,025
Should he?
165
00:11:51,762 --> 00:11:53,419
You oughta know.
166
00:12:02,797 --> 00:12:04,499
Thanks for the lift.
167
00:12:07,503 --> 00:12:08,828
Coming in?
168
00:12:09,264 --> 00:12:11,447
Who said this was the end of the road?
169
00:12:12,833 --> 00:12:15,091
Who's complaining? Not me.
170
00:12:40,205 --> 00:12:41,530
Checking in?
171
00:12:41,771 --> 00:12:42,870
Long?
172
00:12:44,466 --> 00:12:45,896
I don't know yet.
173
00:12:46,739 --> 00:12:48,019
Alone?
174
00:12:48,648 --> 00:12:49,672
Yes.
175
00:12:52,517 --> 00:12:55,393
Edward Rice...San Francisco.
176
00:12:58,702 --> 00:13:00,042
304.
177
00:13:03,234 --> 00:13:06,757
I'll throw the stuff in the room and
be right back. -If you say so.
178
00:13:29,744 --> 00:13:32,665
Hello? hello, this is Nina.
I want to talk to Vince.
179
00:13:32,725 --> 00:13:33,885
He's busy.
180
00:13:33,945 --> 00:13:36,203
Not too busy for what
I've got to tell him.
181
00:13:36,263 --> 00:13:37,479
<i>He's not here.</i>
182
00:13:37,539 --> 00:13:41,379
Look, let's not keep where he is a
secret it might upset your whole future.
183
00:13:41,439 --> 00:13:42,945
Put me through to him!
184
00:13:55,033 --> 00:13:56,719
You talk too much.
185
00:13:57,397 --> 00:13:59,189
Another treatment, Kelly?
186
00:14:00,453 --> 00:14:01,603
Any...
187
00:14:02,265 --> 00:14:04,750
Any second...breaks, Vince?
188
00:14:06,993 --> 00:14:09,176
I'm easy to do business with.
189
00:14:10,165 --> 00:14:11,520
If you talk...
190
00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:12,830
you live.
191
00:14:14,034 --> 00:14:16,865
All i want to hear is your
angle with Joe Williams.
192
00:14:19,271 --> 00:14:22,463
Give him a cigarette, Danny.
It'll relax him.
193
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:30,609
I'm...trusting you, Vince.
194
00:14:30,834 --> 00:14:32,792
Sure. Sure, Kelly.
195
00:14:33,474 --> 00:14:35,612
I told you we'd turn you loose.
196
00:14:35,672 --> 00:14:37,388
You understand how I...
197
00:14:37,569 --> 00:14:40,942
How a guy feels when he's been
kicked out of the organization?
198
00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:43,633
I know...
199
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:47,533
I shouldn't of been a sucker and
told Williams about the...
200
00:14:48,253 --> 00:14:50,828
...about the silver dollar.
-Forget that.
201
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,915
What did you tell him about this?
-Nothing!
202
00:14:56,455 --> 00:14:58,201
Nothing much, really.
203
00:14:59,044 --> 00:15:01,755
Vince!
-What did you tell him, Kelly?
204
00:15:01,815 --> 00:15:03,185
Really, Vince...
205
00:15:03,381 --> 00:15:04,931
Nothing important.
206
00:15:05,688 --> 00:15:06,757
Just...
207
00:15:07,178 --> 00:15:08,970
a little of this and...
208
00:15:09,527 --> 00:15:11,304
that about the...
209
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,532
about the slot machines and...
210
00:15:14,315 --> 00:15:16,333
and the take. But, I...
211
00:15:16,787 --> 00:15:18,564
I phonied the figures.
212
00:15:19,403 --> 00:15:22,550
Honest I did.
-These figures aren't phoney.
213
00:15:22,836 --> 00:15:24,447
Where'd you get 'em?
214
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,684
Snatched them out of your safe, Vince.
215
00:15:31,219 --> 00:15:33,192
Williams is waiting for 'em.
216
00:15:33,535 --> 00:15:37,359
He was going to bundle me out of town,
bring me back for the trial.
217
00:15:38,696 --> 00:15:42,083
But, I was gonna duck.
They never would of found me.
218
00:15:44,568 --> 00:15:46,480
That's the truth, Vince!
219
00:15:54,771 --> 00:15:56,021
Hello.
220
00:15:56,788 --> 00:15:58,264
Hello, Nina.
221
00:16:02,956 --> 00:16:05,242
You sure it's him?
-I was with him!
222
00:16:05,302 --> 00:16:08,524
First I saw him outside police
headquarters talking to Joe Williams,
223
00:16:08,584 --> 00:16:10,466
then I drove him to the Cortez.
224
00:16:10,689 --> 00:16:14,362
He cked in under the name
of Eddie Rice, room 304.
225
00:16:14,422 --> 00:16:15,552
Thanks.
226
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:37,164
You still want to take that trip, Kelly?
227
00:16:39,317 --> 00:16:41,560
You don't have to worry about me, Vince.
228
00:16:42,019 --> 00:16:43,028
Don.
229
00:16:44,194 --> 00:16:45,820
Big mouth Kelly.
230
00:16:46,257 --> 00:16:48,832
You think what he's got
may be contagious?
231
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:50,563
Very...catchy.
232
00:16:51,562 --> 00:16:54,648
What's your opinion, Don?
-Very, definitely.
233
00:16:56,621 --> 00:16:58,283
What can I do?
234
00:16:59,322 --> 00:17:01,686
The consultation's in agreement.
235
00:17:04,595 --> 00:17:05,769
Kelly!
236
00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:07,380
You're dead!
237
00:17:09,097 --> 00:17:10,527
Oh, and Kelly...
238
00:17:10,774 --> 00:17:14,749
When you get to where you're going,
have 'em give you a nice, even burn.
239
00:17:14,809 --> 00:17:17,579
Don't let them just fry you on one side.
240
00:18:01,054 --> 00:18:05,210
I'm sorry to bother you again, but..
has there been any sign of the girl yet?
241
00:18:07,876 --> 00:18:09,051
Thanks.
242
00:18:40,394 --> 00:18:42,743
Don't you believe in knocking on doors?
243
00:18:43,857 --> 00:18:45,814
Who are you? What do you want?
244
00:19:00,538 --> 00:19:02,661
So, that's where you've been hold up...
245
00:19:02,932 --> 00:19:04,498
Eddie Rice!
246
00:19:05,181 --> 00:19:08,990
No wonder I couldn't get a line on you.
Are you back sightseeing?
247
00:19:09,378 --> 00:19:10,854
Mr Rice?
248
00:19:13,052 --> 00:19:15,326
This supposed to be a free country?
249
00:19:15,684 --> 00:19:17,250
Free town?
250
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:18,951
Open to anyone?
251
00:19:19,011 --> 00:19:20,366
Not with me in it.
252
00:19:20,635 --> 00:19:23,240
You didn't waste much time
picking up with the cops.
253
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:27,395
Why should it worry you about
me talking to Williams?
254
00:19:27,455 --> 00:19:29,274
You've got me confused, Eddie.
255
00:19:29,771 --> 00:19:33,460
Only a sucker would walk back in
town after the deal you pulled.
256
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,979
Some things a fella has to...
257
00:19:37,401 --> 00:19:39,102
find out for himself.
258
00:19:40,096 --> 00:19:41,948
Not about you and me.
259
00:19:50,768 --> 00:19:53,283
I've been saving this for five years.
260
00:19:54,021 --> 00:19:57,378
Everyone in life has his bible,
this is mine.
261
00:19:58,978 --> 00:20:03,661
I take it out and read it every day. I read
it to remind me of a guy I grew up with.
262
00:20:03,917 --> 00:20:05,648
Got shoved around with.
263
00:20:06,277 --> 00:20:08,566
We used to take a lot of raps together.
264
00:20:09,439 --> 00:20:13,143
Some people would call a guy
like that a...a loyal friend.
265
00:20:13,968 --> 00:20:15,353
He was.
266
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:22,050
Until he turned into a dirty stool pigeon,
and let me take the rap for him!
267
00:20:38,866 --> 00:20:40,070
Eddie...
268
00:20:41,380 --> 00:20:42,811
Riccardi?
269
00:20:43,025 --> 00:20:47,105
My good friend who sold me out
to a cop named Joe Williams!
270
00:20:58,268 --> 00:21:00,541
Don't mess up his face too much.
271
00:21:03,876 --> 00:21:05,909
I ought to kill you, Eddie.
272
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:08,709
But, you're not worth taking
another rap for!
273
00:21:08,769 --> 00:21:11,058
In 24 hours...disappear!
274
00:21:11,935 --> 00:21:15,006
Otherwise, I might be tempted
to change my mind!
275
00:21:15,624 --> 00:21:17,205
Give him some air!
276
00:22:11,865 --> 00:22:14,153
<i>Why didn't the girl come back?</i>
277
00:22:15,523 --> 00:22:17,812
<i>What did she know about me?</i>
278
00:22:18,730 --> 00:22:20,808
<i>Why did she bring me here?</i>
279
00:22:21,847 --> 00:22:23,111
<i>Vince...</i>
280
00:22:24,060 --> 00:22:26,123
<i>Why didn't Vince kill me?</i>
281
00:22:27,402 --> 00:22:29,450
<i>Maybe I deserved it.</i>
282
00:22:30,625 --> 00:22:33,140
<i>Maybe Dr Kemble ought to know?</i>
283
00:22:34,224 --> 00:22:36,051
<i>I better tell him.</i>
284
00:22:37,226 --> 00:22:39,033
<i>I better call him.</i>
285
00:22:40,328 --> 00:22:41,908
<i>I better...</i>
286
00:22:44,659 --> 00:22:45,879
Hello.
287
00:22:46,391 --> 00:22:50,456
I want to put through a call, person
to person. Dr Kemble...
288
00:22:50,652 --> 00:22:53,392
Letterman Genral Hospital,
San Francisco.
289
00:22:54,435 --> 00:22:56,091
K-E-M-B-L-E
290
00:22:57,411 --> 00:22:58,736
Thank you.
291
00:23:14,170 --> 00:23:15,961
Hello, Dr Kemble?
292
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,812
When do you expect him back?
293
00:23:19,219 --> 00:23:20,920
Not till tomorrow?
294
00:23:22,121 --> 00:23:24,500
Never mind, I'll see him personally.
295
00:24:15,503 --> 00:24:18,780
Forget about Union Station.
Take me to 7 Braxton Avenue.
296
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:30,476
Wait for me.
297
00:24:51,762 --> 00:24:53,961
Thanks a lot Lou, for driving me home.
298
00:24:54,021 --> 00:24:57,393
Just a minute, darling.
I'll walk to the door with you.
299
00:24:58,990 --> 00:25:02,378
It's early, Nina. A little drink for
a nightcap won't hurt you.
300
00:25:02,589 --> 00:25:04,456
That's what you think.
301
00:25:04,516 --> 00:25:07,825
You could make me forget that
thousand I dropped tonight, Nina.
302
00:25:07,885 --> 00:25:11,182
I can forget a lot of things, Lou.
You, for instance.
303
00:25:11,242 --> 00:25:13,633
Good night.
-Just a minute, baby.
304
00:25:13,693 --> 00:25:16,328
I'd like a little receipt
for that grand.
305
00:25:19,246 --> 00:25:20,827
That's better.
306
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:25,539
That's your receipt. Good night.
307
00:25:45,117 --> 00:25:46,758
Now listen...
308
00:25:50,045 --> 00:25:51,461
Go ahead.
309
00:25:51,521 --> 00:25:53,237
Take a good look.
310
00:25:53,629 --> 00:25:58,055
If you came to tell me how Vince welcomed
you back, you've said it. So, goodbye!
311
00:25:58,673 --> 00:26:02,272
I want to know what you had
to do with me...in my life.
312
00:26:04,596 --> 00:26:06,057
And this.
313
00:26:10,473 --> 00:26:12,160
December the 24th,
314
00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:13,801
1943.
315
00:26:14,162 --> 00:26:16,120
Ah, that was a lovely Christmas.
316
00:26:16,903 --> 00:26:19,041
One I'll never forget.
317
00:26:24,136 --> 00:26:26,380
Only one of your presents!
318
00:26:29,297 --> 00:26:33,664
Sure, I told Vince Alexander
you're back. I work for him.
319
00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:39,946
This clipping...
320
00:26:40,955 --> 00:26:45,366
Why couldn't you testify at the trial?
-Oh, no routines, I've heard them all.
321
00:26:48,454 --> 00:26:51,436
Listen to me!
I'm just out of an army hospital
322
00:26:51,496 --> 00:26:54,507
with a piece of steel in my head
and no memory to go with it.
323
00:26:54,567 --> 00:26:57,756
I'm here to find out about myself and
I'm getting answers the hard way!
324
00:26:57,816 --> 00:27:00,677
I don't know you, Vince Alexander...
325
00:27:00,737 --> 00:27:05,055
or anybody called Eddie Riccardi!
All I know is one person, Eddie Rice! Me!
326
00:27:07,178 --> 00:27:09,391
You're the last person I can turn to.
327
00:27:10,472 --> 00:27:12,263
Please believe me.
328
00:27:12,850 --> 00:27:14,115
Help me.
329
00:27:16,584 --> 00:27:19,039
That's a very touching speech.
330
00:27:21,477 --> 00:27:23,901
You lost your memory.
331
00:27:24,564 --> 00:27:28,298
You don't know why I couldn't
testify at the trial.
332
00:27:28,529 --> 00:27:32,067
You've forgotten how you used me to
make sure Vince would go to prison
333
00:27:32,127 --> 00:27:33,829
so you'd be set free.
334
00:27:33,889 --> 00:27:37,966
But, if you're back to your old tricks
again I've got sad news for you,
335
00:27:38,026 --> 00:27:40,752
I tore up your raincheck
three years ago.
336
00:27:43,494 --> 00:27:45,587
I'm not your wife anymore.
337
00:28:05,380 --> 00:28:08,090
Now to the station?
-Back to the hotel.
338
00:28:47,065 --> 00:28:49,579
You act like a cop that just
lost a conviction?
339
00:28:49,639 --> 00:28:52,877
Maybe I have, take a look at these.
Fresh out of the photo lab.
340
00:28:54,339 --> 00:28:56,808
Sharks don't talk, the
fingerprints spell Kelly.
341
00:28:56,868 --> 00:28:59,413
The Coroner said he was dead two
hours before he hit the water.
342
00:28:59,473 --> 00:29:01,807
Too bad. With the information
Kelly had for us
343
00:29:01,867 --> 00:29:04,186
we could have put Vince
away for a long stretch.
344
00:29:05,335 --> 00:29:07,066
What's eating you, Joe?
345
00:29:07,563 --> 00:29:09,295
I was a smart cop.
346
00:29:09,355 --> 00:29:12,712
I put Petey away to get him off of
Kelly's tail, and this is what happens.
347
00:29:12,772 --> 00:29:14,594
I feel like I killed Kelly.
348
00:29:14,654 --> 00:29:16,897
Riccardi...think he's tied up in it?
349
00:29:16,957 --> 00:29:19,909
Walking back into town that day
could tie him up in anything.
350
00:29:20,237 --> 00:29:22,706
Is the case my baby?
-All yours.
351
00:29:24,916 --> 00:29:26,301
Now what?
352
00:29:26,361 --> 00:29:28,936
I figure we shouldn't keep
it a secret from Vince.
353
00:29:40,844 --> 00:29:43,087
Only six days in the week now, huh?
354
00:29:43,455 --> 00:29:46,557
How do you like that, the card
must have fell out.
355
00:29:46,617 --> 00:29:48,604
It was there yesterday. Nick...
356
00:29:48,664 --> 00:29:50,125
Who's Jane Doe?
357
00:29:50,185 --> 00:29:52,817
Please, Lieutenant. I don't look
at their birth certificate.
358
00:29:52,877 --> 00:29:55,075
Lots of people don't use
their right names.
359
00:29:55,135 --> 00:29:59,002
With me, a buck is a buck.
I don't ask questions.
360
00:29:59,318 --> 00:30:02,435
Before I'm through, Nick...
you'll be answering a few.
361
00:30:08,026 --> 00:30:12,377
It's gettin' so you can't tail a guy anymore
without having the cops jump on ya.
362
00:30:12,437 --> 00:30:14,666
This town's goin' to the dogs.
363
00:30:14,981 --> 00:30:18,143
Samson and me...
-Petey! Get that cat off the desk!
364
00:30:18,776 --> 00:30:22,133
I was just saying, Samson and
me could stand a vacation.
365
00:30:22,389 --> 00:30:25,340
You want us to blow town?
-That's just what I don't want.
366
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,047
Coke will set you up, and stay quiet!
367
00:30:28,107 --> 00:30:30,667
Well, sure Vince, sure.
Anything you say.
368
00:31:05,567 --> 00:31:06,922
Hello, Danny.
369
00:31:16,370 --> 00:31:18,327
Come in. Come in, Joe.
370
00:31:18,674 --> 00:31:22,543
Pull up a chair and rest your feet.
I hear you've had a busy day.
371
00:31:26,329 --> 00:31:29,099
I figured you would.
I was saving you for last.
372
00:31:30,183 --> 00:31:31,644
Should I...
373
00:31:31,930 --> 00:31:33,993
relax or call in my lawyer?
374
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:36,698
That depends on how nervous you are.
375
00:31:36,758 --> 00:31:39,529
I was always thought nervous
guys bit their nails?
376
00:31:39,589 --> 00:31:41,095
Now, let me see...
377
00:31:41,317 --> 00:31:44,675
Nick was a little bit hazy about
who Jane Doe was.
378
00:31:44,946 --> 00:31:47,144
I thought you might be able to tell me.
379
00:31:47,336 --> 00:31:49,113
Never heard of the girl.
380
00:31:49,173 --> 00:31:50,634
Then there's Petey.
381
00:31:50,694 --> 00:31:54,654
And how certain people got know where
and just when to bail him out.
382
00:31:54,714 --> 00:31:57,014
Now...nobody knows anything.
383
00:31:57,421 --> 00:31:58,912
But, we'll find him.
384
00:31:59,273 --> 00:32:01,863
We;ve got all exits out of town plugged.
385
00:32:03,697 --> 00:32:06,483
And I got a hunch he'll
be real cooperative.
386
00:32:06,769 --> 00:32:08,063
You see...
387
00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:10,698
I don't think he knows
anything about this.
388
00:32:11,090 --> 00:32:12,249
Kelly.
389
00:32:12,798 --> 00:32:15,162
He's gone and gotten himself killed.
390
00:32:15,915 --> 00:32:17,571
Just like Kelly...
391
00:32:17,842 --> 00:32:19,920
You never know what he'll do next.
392
00:32:20,191 --> 00:32:21,983
That goes for a lot of guys.
393
00:32:22,449 --> 00:32:23,910
Take you and...
394
00:32:24,482 --> 00:32:26,529
Then again, take Eddie Riccardi...
395
00:32:26,589 --> 00:32:29,962
You boys forgive and forget,
and back in business again.
396
00:32:31,037 --> 00:32:34,485
You and Riccardi got a lot in common,
why don't you ask him?
397
00:32:34,545 --> 00:32:36,352
At the moment, you're number one.
398
00:32:36,623 --> 00:32:40,281
And, it won't be any...manslaughter
charge and out in two years.
399
00:32:41,076 --> 00:32:43,048
I put you away this time...
400
00:32:43,334 --> 00:32:44,840
it'll be for keeps.
401
00:32:47,035 --> 00:32:50,031
You got all the answers figured
out, haven't you?
402
00:32:50,091 --> 00:32:52,636
I might have, sooner than you think.
403
00:32:53,959 --> 00:32:55,479
So sorry!
404
00:33:35,693 --> 00:33:39,292
Me, I never had a complaint.
You call my old boss.
405
00:33:39,352 --> 00:33:42,115
He'll tell you my bringing in 500
a night at the gambling tables
406
00:33:42,175 --> 00:33:44,344
was a small bag of tell.
407
00:33:45,169 --> 00:33:48,993
Oh, Mr Alexander! I just came in looking
for a job and I was telling Ms Martin...
408
00:33:49,053 --> 00:33:50,378
Get rid of her.
409
00:33:51,278 --> 00:33:55,238
Vince, we need some new talent...
-Okay! Okay! Come back at eight tonight.
410
00:33:55,298 --> 00:33:58,324
She'll tell you what to do.
-Oh, gee! Thanks!
411
00:34:01,806 --> 00:34:03,899
You know Eddie's still in town?
412
00:34:05,013 --> 00:34:06,172
Yes.
413
00:34:06,353 --> 00:34:08,024
Been around to see you?
414
00:34:09,667 --> 00:34:10,796
When?
415
00:34:11,534 --> 00:34:13,266
Late last night.
416
00:34:14,184 --> 00:34:16,548
Did he tell ya I gave him
24 hours to get out?
417
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,249
No.
418
00:34:19,872 --> 00:34:22,793
Well, I changed my mind.
I want him to stay.
419
00:34:23,049 --> 00:34:25,142
I want you to make sure he does stay.
420
00:34:26,876 --> 00:34:29,827
My job's to work the tables
for you here, Vince, and...
421
00:34:30,324 --> 00:34:34,961
I don't even mind setups like the one with
Petey or...other deals like that, but...
422
00:34:36,439 --> 00:34:37,613
Vince...
423
00:34:38,336 --> 00:34:40,534
Stay out of my personal life!
424
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:42,311
Listen you...
425
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,041
When Eddie dropped you, who picked
you up and gave you your health?
426
00:34:46,101 --> 00:34:49,053
Who gave you your job?
Everything you got?
427
00:34:49,459 --> 00:34:51,206
Vince Alexander!
428
00:34:52,806 --> 00:34:54,538
I won't do it, Vince.
429
00:34:54,598 --> 00:34:55,923
Forget Eddie.
430
00:34:55,983 --> 00:34:57,639
When I get through with him.
431
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,717
But, now you're gonna meet him.
432
00:35:00,715 --> 00:35:03,440
And, I want you to make sure
he does stay in town.
433
00:35:34,220 --> 00:35:35,566
What'll it be?
434
00:35:35,626 --> 00:35:37,854
Did five years make you
forget that easily?
435
00:35:37,914 --> 00:35:41,016
I told you...in five years you
can forget a lot of things.
436
00:35:41,076 --> 00:35:43,064
Something for the lady?
-Rob Roy, please.
437
00:35:43,124 --> 00:35:44,491
The same.
438
00:35:48,131 --> 00:35:50,932
What made you change your mind
about seeing me again?
439
00:35:54,897 --> 00:35:58,210
You know, finding out I was married
to you kind of threw me.
440
00:35:58,992 --> 00:36:02,169
It was even something the boys at
the hospital used to rib me about.
441
00:36:02,564 --> 00:36:05,605
They had me fixed up with a
wife and four or five kids.
442
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:09,881
They didn't know how close the
gag came to being true.
443
00:36:11,474 --> 00:36:13,672
You still don't believe me, do you?
444
00:36:21,056 --> 00:36:25,236
Maybe this'll convince you it was Eddie
Rice that rang your doorbell last night.
445
00:36:26,537 --> 00:36:29,909
Call Dr Kemble at Letterman's
Hospital in San Francisco.
446
00:36:31,007 --> 00:36:33,025
He'll tell you the whole story.
447
00:36:38,141 --> 00:36:39,767
Tha cigarette case...
448
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,323
Doesn't it mean anything to you?
449
00:36:47,468 --> 00:36:48,868
Should it?
450
00:36:54,926 --> 00:36:57,350
Suppose I did believe you, then what?
451
00:36:59,488 --> 00:37:03,569
Then, I'd try and make you forget that
Eddie Riccardi was ever in your life.
452
00:37:04,476 --> 00:37:06,403
You think you can do that?
453
00:37:07,216 --> 00:37:08,737
Eddie Rice can.
454
00:37:20,823 --> 00:37:22,570
Eddie, leave town.
455
00:37:24,533 --> 00:37:27,228
Now you're talking like Vince.
-Maybe I was yesterday.
456
00:37:27,288 --> 00:37:30,492
Don't ask me why, but go.
-Nina, I don't frighten easily.
457
00:37:30,552 --> 00:37:33,353
You can take that message back to Vince.
Tell him I'm staying!
458
00:37:33,413 --> 00:37:36,816
That's what he wants you to do. That's
why I'm here, to keep you from leaving.
459
00:37:36,876 --> 00:37:38,740
I'd hate to disappoint him then.
460
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,895
Eddie, don't be stubborn, I know Vince.
He doesn't do anything without a reason.
461
00:37:43,964 --> 00:37:45,530
Neither do I.
462
00:37:47,802 --> 00:37:52,590
Stay then! Get yourself beaten up again,
or killed. Do anything you want.
463
00:38:35,782 --> 00:38:38,267
Riccardi.
-Very interesting.
464
00:38:47,205 --> 00:38:48,936
Scotch over water.
465
00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:53,136
Lose something, Charlie?
466
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,406
Tell Nina Martin, Eddie wants to see her.
-Eddie who?
467
00:38:59,658 --> 00:39:01,103
Just Eddie.
468
00:39:01,630 --> 00:39:03,060
Wait here.
469
00:39:11,467 --> 00:39:12,943
What'll I need?
470
00:39:13,003 --> 00:39:15,653
A thousand might bring you luck.
-A thousand?
471
00:39:15,894 --> 00:39:17,475
Give me a thousand.
472
00:39:24,925 --> 00:39:27,891
A character called Eddie's outside,
wants to see you.
473
00:39:27,951 --> 00:39:29,412
Eddie here?
474
00:39:29,788 --> 00:39:31,204
Get rid of him!
475
00:39:31,425 --> 00:39:33,668
That's not what Vince had in mind.
476
00:39:43,422 --> 00:39:44,972
All right, come on.
477
00:39:53,097 --> 00:39:54,663
6...9...12!
478
00:39:54,919 --> 00:39:56,636
All bets down.
479
00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:04,549
It's a nice layout. Vince ought to be
able to pick up some fast money.
480
00:40:04,609 --> 00:40:07,063
You're crazy to come walking in here.
481
00:40:07,123 --> 00:40:09,273
Maybe I'm just hard to convince.
482
00:40:10,477 --> 00:40:12,374
My dressing room is back there.
483
00:40:13,925 --> 00:40:16,590
I'll be back before the
wheel stops turning.
484
00:40:34,853 --> 00:40:35,973
Yeah?
485
00:40:37,478 --> 00:40:38,939
Okay, thanks.
486
00:40:43,645 --> 00:40:45,813
So, she wanted to get rid of him.
487
00:40:47,179 --> 00:40:50,040
I wonder if that dame is trying
to pull a double cross.
488
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,129
Get down to the Golden Horn and pick up
Eddie Riccardi, you'll find him with Nina.
489
00:40:55,189 --> 00:40:56,270
Just him?
490
00:40:56,571 --> 00:40:57,746
Just him.
491
00:40:58,197 --> 00:41:00,110
I'll get around to her later.
492
00:41:03,747 --> 00:41:05,569
I started to leave...
493
00:41:05,794 --> 00:41:08,309
but I kept thinking about
everything you told me.
494
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,230
If I'd of left I'd been all the
things you said I was.
495
00:41:11,727 --> 00:41:13,232
So, I'm staying.
496
00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:17,505
And, I'm taking you out of here.
497
00:41:18,498 --> 00:41:19,673
Nina.
498
00:41:21,043 --> 00:41:23,436
We could have a decent life together.
499
00:41:26,553 --> 00:41:28,465
You got it all figured out.
500
00:41:31,452 --> 00:41:36,089
Well, you're not taking me anywhere.
You pushed me into this life and I like it.
501
00:41:36,481 --> 00:41:41,374
I'm top bait around here steering nice,
fat, pigeons to the gambling table.
502
00:41:41,434 --> 00:41:46,174
I'm one of Vince's kind now and I'm keeping
my life and my job just the way they are.
503
00:41:46,234 --> 00:41:48,026
No matter what I have to do!
504
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:49,934
Come on.
505
00:41:59,090 --> 00:42:00,144
Thanks.
506
00:42:10,804 --> 00:42:13,469
Now, how about some champagne?
507
00:42:14,389 --> 00:42:17,581
Excuse me for a minute, honey.
I forgot I got to call my wife.
508
00:42:32,729 --> 00:42:35,048
Williams, Homicide.
Yeah, Barnes.
509
00:42:36,509 --> 00:42:37,653
Yeah!
510
00:42:38,586 --> 00:42:39,881
Thanks a lot!
511
00:42:40,377 --> 00:42:41,898
What's exciting?
512
00:42:50,385 --> 00:42:54,646
I said, what's exciting? Or, don't
you want to wake me up?
513
00:42:55,138 --> 00:42:59,113
Barnes casing the Golden Horn for vice
intel, tells me Riccardi just walked in.
514
00:42:59,805 --> 00:43:01,266
Trouble maybe?
515
00:43:01,717 --> 00:43:04,924
I could think of plenty of reasons why
there might be for Eddie Rice.
516
00:43:05,478 --> 00:43:07,300
You'll hear from me later.
517
00:43:25,961 --> 00:43:28,189
How you coming with that
Kelly report, Ben?
518
00:43:28,249 --> 00:43:30,945
Just finishing up for you.
-Okay, I'll wait.
519
00:43:33,515 --> 00:43:36,586
Somebody must've believed in that
old gag about an apple a day.
520
00:43:36,646 --> 00:43:40,513
Yeah, but they didn't know it would pin
a murder on them. -Quite an appetite.
521
00:43:40,573 --> 00:43:43,253
Psychological, it creates
a false hunger.
522
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:50,156
Well, here you are, Joe.
I can go home now.
523
00:43:50,216 --> 00:43:53,454
Thanks a lot, Ben. See you tomorrow.
-Okay, see ya tomorrow.
524
00:44:06,875 --> 00:44:07,778
Yeah?
525
00:44:07,838 --> 00:44:10,970
I'm interested in Eddie Riccardi,
not in what's going on in there.
526
00:44:11,030 --> 00:44:13,680
We don't know from Riccardi.
-I do, open up.
527
00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:18,240
Place your bets, folks. Place your
bets. Bet high/low...odd or even.
528
00:44:38,711 --> 00:44:39,795
Yes?
529
00:44:39,990 --> 00:44:43,438
Miss Martin? Williams, Homicide.
May I come in please?
530
00:44:43,732 --> 00:44:44,982
Come in.
531
00:44:47,432 --> 00:44:50,820
Eddie was just picked up by Danny.
-Where'd he take him?
532
00:44:52,557 --> 00:44:54,424
You'll hear from me later.
533
00:45:14,826 --> 00:45:16,377
You know, Williams?
534
00:45:17,054 --> 00:45:19,524
I'm not used to cops with insomnia.
535
00:45:20,201 --> 00:45:22,791
What's on your mind?
-It won't take long.
536
00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:25,960
Danny picked up Eddie Riccardi.
Where are they?
537
00:45:27,537 --> 00:45:29,329
You're in an awful rut.
538
00:45:29,540 --> 00:45:31,497
Always asking questions.
539
00:45:31,557 --> 00:45:33,846
All right...let's start over.
540
00:45:34,581 --> 00:45:37,306
Eddie was at the Golden Horn
with Nina Martin.
541
00:45:37,366 --> 00:45:39,685
Suddenly, he wasn't there anymore.
542
00:45:40,208 --> 00:45:41,368
So...
543
00:45:41,578 --> 00:45:44,018
So...I don't mind waiting.
544
00:45:45,900 --> 00:45:48,053
While we kill a little time...
545
00:45:49,429 --> 00:45:51,176
This might interest you.
546
00:46:01,803 --> 00:46:05,733
And, after we pick up Riccardi...
we're going down to police headquarters.
547
00:46:06,034 --> 00:46:08,579
You're gonna have a manicure...on me.
548
00:46:10,294 --> 00:46:13,380
You know, you're gonna look awful
silly when I get through with you.
549
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,819
If I'm wrong...I'll apologize.
550
00:46:21,050 --> 00:46:23,264
Say hello, nothing more.
551
00:46:25,733 --> 00:46:26,862
Hello.
552
00:46:27,674 --> 00:46:31,408
Vince, we're at the shop. Do we
stay or bring Riccardi up there?
553
00:46:32,507 --> 00:46:34,238
Tell him you'll be down.
554
00:46:52,464 --> 00:46:53,699
Okay, Coke...
555
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,385
<i>Bring him up here.</i>
556
00:47:28,724 --> 00:47:30,530
What do you want now?
557
00:47:41,819 --> 00:47:44,605
Just when he was coming up
in the department.
558
00:49:14,591 --> 00:49:15,886
Car 9-4
559
00:49:15,946 --> 00:49:17,813
9-4 to Control-4.
560
00:49:17,873 --> 00:49:20,252
<i>Clear Frequency-4, this is an emergency.</i>
561
00:49:20,312 --> 00:49:23,126
Control-4 to 94, go ahead.
562
00:49:23,186 --> 00:49:25,099
<i>Car 94 to Control-4</i>
563
00:49:25,159 --> 00:49:29,209
<i>Notify the Homicide Bureau, we have found
the body of Lt Williams in his car.</i>
564
00:49:29,269 --> 00:49:31,133
At Sepulveda and Sunset.
565
00:50:17,423 --> 00:50:18,763
Give you a lift, son?
566
00:50:18,823 --> 00:50:21,485
Thanks, I had a little accident
back up a side road.
567
00:50:21,545 --> 00:50:24,556
I have to go to town, get a tow car.
-Anybody killed?
568
00:50:27,016 --> 00:50:29,561
No luck at all tonight.
Hop in.
569
00:50:39,349 --> 00:50:42,090
Bet you thought I wouldn't stop
to pick you up, didn't you?
570
00:50:42,150 --> 00:50:43,638
I didn't know.
571
00:50:43,698 --> 00:50:45,113
It's late.
-See...
572
00:50:45,173 --> 00:50:49,130
That's why I fooled you. Have me orders.
Pick up anybody, anytime.
573
00:50:49,747 --> 00:50:51,870
Green Acres Morticians policy.
574
00:50:52,094 --> 00:50:54,698
Live today...maybe a customer tomorrow.
575
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,400
Pays off too.
576
00:50:56,460 --> 00:50:59,848
Most people remember the nice things
you do for them while they're living.
577
00:50:59,908 --> 00:51:03,864
We sure don't get any complaints about our
service from them after they're dead.
578
00:51:03,924 --> 00:51:05,927
Their family, that is.
579
00:51:07,423 --> 00:51:09,441
That accident hurt you any?
580
00:51:10,992 --> 00:51:13,069
Got a match?
-Sure do.
581
00:51:19,645 --> 00:51:21,813
Police, ambulance and everything.
582
00:51:22,114 --> 00:51:24,312
I wonder if I'm losing any customers?
583
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:40,902
Finished with Joe's stuff yet?
-Still working on it.
584
00:51:43,326 --> 00:51:44,816
It's too bad...
585
00:51:45,434 --> 00:51:48,460
Joe's wife sure liked him
in that suit too.
586
00:52:13,311 --> 00:52:16,021
Any line on Riccardi yet?
-Nothing, Captain.
587
00:52:16,081 --> 00:52:19,710
Keep trying, he's the last one who
might of seen Joe. -Okay.
588
00:52:20,197 --> 00:52:21,718
Eddie Riccardi.
589
00:52:24,187 --> 00:52:26,445
Guess Williams was right after all.
590
00:52:26,701 --> 00:52:28,538
Riccardi or Rice.
591
00:52:28,826 --> 00:52:32,530
A Silver Star and a dumb look doesn't
change a no good heel.
592
00:52:33,147 --> 00:52:36,173
Attention all units!
Attention all units!
593
00:52:36,233 --> 00:52:40,175
Be on the lookout for the following
<i>described suspect, wanted for murder:</i>
594
00:52:40,551 --> 00:52:43,322
<i>Eddie Riccardi, alias Eddie Rice,</i>
595
00:52:43,589 --> 00:52:46,164
<i>White male, American,</i>
596
00:52:46,224 --> 00:52:49,341
<i>Age 33, 6 foot 2.</i>
597
00:52:49,729 --> 00:52:51,506
<i>190 lbs...</i>
598
00:52:51,957 --> 00:52:53,312
<i>Dark brown...</i>
599
00:52:53,659 --> 00:52:55,944
You phone the cops and do 'em a favor,
600
00:52:56,004 --> 00:53:00,024
where to find a dead cop and the guy
that did it, and what happens...
601
00:53:05,972 --> 00:53:08,035
The first stop is Nina Martin's.
602
00:53:08,276 --> 00:53:10,474
I want Eddie before the cops get him.
603
00:53:10,730 --> 00:53:12,913
Then they can have him for a present.
604
00:53:14,334 --> 00:53:15,915
And alive!
605
00:53:32,066 --> 00:53:33,843
Eddie!
-Shut up!
606
00:53:34,168 --> 00:53:36,065
Get those lights out!
607
00:53:37,285 --> 00:53:39,152
Eddie, what happened?
608
00:53:40,533 --> 00:53:43,951
You certainly did a neat job
of tying me into a murder.
609
00:53:44,011 --> 00:53:46,089
Joe Williams was killed tonight.
610
00:53:46,149 --> 00:53:47,901
You?
-I don't know.
611
00:53:47,961 --> 00:53:51,138
The last thing I remember was being slugged
over the head at Vince Alexander's.
612
00:53:51,198 --> 00:53:53,713
I know you think that...
-I haven't got time to think!
613
00:53:53,773 --> 00:53:57,811
All I want is a few bucks, your car and
you in my sight till I get out of here!
614
00:53:57,871 --> 00:53:59,874
Eddie, you've got to believe me!
615
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:01,335
Believe?
616
00:54:01,656 --> 00:54:03,508
Like you believed me?
617
00:54:03,885 --> 00:54:05,661
Give me the keys!
618
00:54:10,271 --> 00:54:14,017
Eddie! This is why I turned on you
tonight, to get you away from Vince.
619
00:54:14,077 --> 00:54:16,992
The keys are in the car, you go,
I'll try to stall them off.
620
00:54:17,224 --> 00:54:19,468
And get a bullet in the back of my head?
621
00:54:19,528 --> 00:54:22,404
Oh, Eddie! You've got to trust me,
it's your only chance.
622
00:54:24,815 --> 00:54:26,091
Quick!
623
00:54:26,444 --> 00:54:28,043
The garage.
624
00:55:25,770 --> 00:55:29,188
This is where you get out. -Go to the
police, Eddie. Before it's too late.
625
00:55:29,248 --> 00:55:32,400
With my fingerprints all over the
gun and all over Williams car?
626
00:55:32,460 --> 00:55:35,257
I wouldn't last long enough to walk
to the nearest police station.
627
00:55:35,317 --> 00:55:38,133
If I did what could I tell them?
Now out!
628
00:55:38,788 --> 00:55:41,737
You want me to go home and wait
for Vince to come back again?
629
00:55:41,797 --> 00:55:45,800
That's something Eddie Riccardo would
tell me to do, not Eddie Rice.
630
00:55:49,139 --> 00:55:50,606
All right.
631
00:56:06,538 --> 00:56:07,668
Stop.
632
00:56:11,312 --> 00:56:13,997
Keep your lights off and
the motor running.
633
00:56:57,233 --> 00:56:59,889
Well, now you've got a gun! What next?
634
00:57:01,213 --> 00:57:04,044
I didn't ask for any killings,
so I'm in the middle.
635
00:57:04,528 --> 00:57:07,711
But, I'm not going to be a clay
pigeon for Vince Alexander.
636
00:57:08,308 --> 00:57:10,513
You can't prove anything dead.
637
00:57:10,573 --> 00:57:14,597
That would make Vince very happy,
something I wouldn't want to let happen.
638
00:57:15,047 --> 00:57:18,758
Is there any place we could go, someone
you can trust to put us up for the night?
639
00:57:18,818 --> 00:57:20,299
I need time.
640
00:57:21,747 --> 00:57:23,404
Maybe there is.
641
00:57:23,464 --> 00:57:25,443
It's a long chance, but...
642
00:57:28,917 --> 00:57:31,763
You don't think you're going to
get away with this, do you?
643
00:57:32,276 --> 00:57:34,477
We're staying here till tomorrow.
644
00:57:42,766 --> 00:57:46,004
Stay away from that phone!
If it rings, let it keep ringing!
645
00:57:46,064 --> 00:57:48,953
Get rid of anybody who comes to
the door, I'll be right behind you
646
00:57:49,013 --> 00:57:50,845
in case you give the wrong answers.
647
00:57:55,517 --> 00:57:58,539
What about the girl's place?
-There and gone.
648
00:57:58,599 --> 00:58:02,705
Get a teletype out on her car immediately,
have it re-broadcast every half hour.
649
00:58:08,211 --> 00:58:10,661
I want roadblocks at all these points.
650
00:58:10,721 --> 00:58:12,705
I want the airport, the railroad station,
651
00:58:12,765 --> 00:58:15,536
all the bus terminals put
under a 24 surveillance.
652
00:58:15,596 --> 00:58:18,001
I want every hotel and
flophouse notified.
653
00:58:18,061 --> 00:58:20,818
They're in this town somewhere
and they're not getting out.
654
00:58:21,019 --> 00:58:22,354
One other thing...
655
00:58:22,414 --> 00:58:26,887
We picked up Riccardi's fingerprints on
that gun shop. He's got a gun now.
656
00:58:27,294 --> 00:58:29,421
Don't give him a chance to use it!
657
00:58:29,481 --> 00:58:31,284
All right, start moving.
658
00:58:31,344 --> 00:58:33,908
<i>The police tightened its dragnet
about the city today.</i>
659
00:58:33,968 --> 00:58:36,988
<i>Riccardi escaped just as the police
were ready to close in on him</i>
660
00:58:37,048 --> 00:58:39,197
<i>after they received an
anonymous phone call</i>
661
00:58:39,257 --> 00:58:42,292
<i>which led them to discover the murdered
body of one of their men today.</i>
662
00:58:42,352 --> 00:58:44,067
<i>Every available man...</i>
663
00:58:47,714 --> 00:58:49,958
We'll wait till it's dark
and get out of here.
664
00:58:50,018 --> 00:58:52,423
You couldn't arrange to
drop dead before then?
665
00:58:52,483 --> 00:58:55,606
Hazel, you've got to believe us.
Eddie didn't do it!
666
00:58:55,897 --> 00:58:57,936
He should still drop dead.
667
00:58:58,269 --> 00:58:59,604
Twice.
668
01:00:12,318 --> 01:00:13,477
Coke!
669
01:00:36,274 --> 01:00:38,401
Get me a couple of clean towels.
670
01:00:42,231 --> 01:00:43,771
It's pretty bad.
671
01:00:44,739 --> 01:00:49,052
I'll have you out of here in a minute,
we'll find a doctor. -Go to the police.
672
01:00:49,497 --> 01:00:51,448
Eddie, go to the police.
673
01:00:53,848 --> 01:00:55,961
Your car in the garage?
-Yes.
674
01:00:56,021 --> 01:00:58,704
Where are your keys?
-In my purse.
675
01:00:58,764 --> 01:01:00,288
Take care of her.
676
01:01:22,875 --> 01:01:23,843
Thanks.
677
01:01:23,903 --> 01:01:26,748
I'll have the doctor come right
in the moment he returns.
678
01:01:38,651 --> 01:01:40,602
Light me a cigarette.
679
01:02:02,498 --> 01:02:04,288
You're far away.
680
01:02:06,205 --> 01:02:07,614
How far?
681
01:02:09,418 --> 01:02:10,885
Five years.
682
01:02:11,545 --> 01:02:13,041
A lifetime.
683
01:02:14,259 --> 01:02:15,961
Beyond that, a blank.
684
01:02:17,162 --> 01:02:18,879
Me too, Eddie.
685
01:02:18,939 --> 01:02:21,270
Only, it's been a different
kind of a blank.
686
01:02:21,798 --> 01:02:24,453
It's being pushed back
to Eddie Riccardi.
687
01:02:24,937 --> 01:02:26,184
This.
688
01:02:26,811 --> 01:02:30,215
The whole past that keeps me
from being like other people.
689
01:02:30,992 --> 01:02:32,763
Now all that's left is
690
01:02:32,823 --> 01:02:36,460
wondering what it would be like if there
had only been an Eddie Rice.
691
01:02:38,540 --> 01:02:41,287
If I'd of just met you
for the first time.
692
01:02:43,087 --> 01:02:45,508
Eddie Rice can have that.
693
01:02:48,248 --> 01:02:50,610
Oh, you're...good, Eddie.
694
01:02:51,681 --> 01:02:53,368
You're good.
695
01:02:54,934 --> 01:02:57,622
You've taken away the hate in me.
696
01:02:58,176 --> 01:02:59,995
Destroyed it.
697
01:03:01,946 --> 01:03:03,912
You're...good, Eddie.
698
01:03:07,874 --> 01:03:10,573
When a baby wants to be born,
hours don't matter!
699
01:03:10,633 --> 01:03:12,554
7 poundsd 7ounces...a boy.
700
01:03:12,614 --> 01:03:14,549
Doctor, her shoulder...
701
01:03:29,779 --> 01:03:31,760
I can't treat gun wounds.
702
01:03:31,820 --> 01:03:34,679
She'll have to go to the police
emergency hospital.
703
01:03:34,739 --> 01:03:36,179
I don't think so.
704
01:03:36,239 --> 01:03:39,260
I'm sorry, but I've got to report
this to the police.
705
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:40,624
Doctor.
706
01:03:41,138 --> 01:03:43,191
That report to the police...
707
01:03:43,539 --> 01:03:44,918
It'll wait.
708
01:03:45,123 --> 01:03:47,368
If you want to pull that
trigger, go ahead.
709
01:03:49,535 --> 01:03:51,603
Police headquarters, please.
710
01:03:53,055 --> 01:03:56,092
Put that gun away! I said I was
going to call the police.
711
01:03:56,293 --> 01:03:57,775
Police headquarters?
712
01:03:57,980 --> 01:04:00,914
This is Dr Stacey, 93 Chestnut Street.
713
01:04:01,174 --> 01:04:03,492
Send an ambulance and a squad car.
714
01:04:09,003 --> 01:04:10,602
How bad is it?
715
01:04:14,534 --> 01:04:16,118
She'll be all right.
716
01:04:18,447 --> 01:04:20,262
You'd better leave.
717
01:04:27,035 --> 01:04:30,805
Eddie, I'm scared...I'm scared...
-Take it easy, you'll be all right.
718
01:04:30,865 --> 01:04:33,341
Not for me, for you.
-Listen...
719
01:04:33,531 --> 01:04:37,507
I'm leaving you for a little while.
I've got an idea, it might work.
720
01:04:37,567 --> 01:04:39,672
Something very important.
721
01:04:40,214 --> 01:04:44,395
You knew all about me. The people
I used to know, the places I went.
722
01:04:44,699 --> 01:04:46,855
Think for me, go back five years.
723
01:04:46,915 --> 01:04:51,110
Who was there? Just one person.
Give me the answers, quick!
724
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,289
What you say is my only chance,
the only chance I've got.
725
01:04:54,349 --> 01:04:58,231
The only one left is...Petey.
He can't be trusted with Vince.
726
01:04:58,291 --> 01:05:01,337
Where will I find him?
-Not him, he's... -Tell me!
727
01:05:01,759 --> 01:05:04,457
Two, three places on Main Street.
728
01:05:05,198 --> 01:05:07,034
Fourth and Main...
729
01:05:07,094 --> 01:05:10,091
And after Nina ran in front of him,
Coke never had a chance.
730
01:05:10,151 --> 01:05:11,748
That Eddie sure didn't miss.
731
01:05:11,808 --> 01:05:14,345
Coke took three, went right through
his breakfast, lunch and supper.
732
01:05:14,405 --> 01:05:16,575
Anybody come around, ask any questions?
733
01:05:16,635 --> 01:05:19,900
None I couldn't answer, Vince.
-Get back down and keep him company.
734
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,570
But...but, the police?
-That's exactly what I want!
735
01:05:22,630 --> 01:05:25,559
Tell him how Riccardi broke into your
apartment, found Coke there
736
01:05:25,619 --> 01:05:28,727
pulled his gun and fired. Now do
what I told you, just that!
737
01:05:29,035 --> 01:05:31,250
All right, Vince.
-Take her back!
738
01:05:35,048 --> 01:05:37,293
Eddie's got to find a doctor somewhere.
739
01:05:37,484 --> 01:05:39,581
And, if he does what I think, he'll...
740
01:05:39,772 --> 01:05:42,295
dump the girl...and start looking
for a hidewaway.
741
01:05:43,785 --> 01:05:44,973
Get going!
742
01:05:45,033 --> 01:05:48,039
Spread the news I got a personal
interest in Eddie Riccardi.
743
01:05:48,099 --> 01:05:50,870
I don't want anything to happen
to him...until I get there.
744
01:05:51,389 --> 01:05:53,443
Unless the cops get him first.
745
01:05:54,467 --> 01:05:57,841
You through with him, Doc?
-Yup. He was a fine specimen.
746
01:05:57,901 --> 01:06:00,041
Would have had a long life
if this hadn't happened.
747
01:06:00,101 --> 01:06:02,051
I'll send you my report in the morning.
748
01:06:05,694 --> 01:06:08,335
I'm sure you don't mind coming
downtown, Miss Downs?
749
01:06:08,395 --> 01:06:10,477
Well, I...
-I thought not.
750
01:06:12,659 --> 01:06:14,859
What'd you find?
-It was them all right.
751
01:06:14,919 --> 01:06:17,471
Riccardi left the doctor's office
about 30 minutes ago
752
01:06:17,531 --> 01:06:20,830
Notify Communications? -They're blanketing
the whole area. -The girl?
753
01:06:20,890 --> 01:06:25,608
County Jail Hospital. Still out, whether
she's playing it safe or just not talking.
754
01:06:25,668 --> 01:06:29,085
Keep Melon there, the minute she comes
out, I want to know. -Any ideas?
755
01:06:29,145 --> 01:06:31,970
Lots! We need Riccardi to
explain some of them.
756
01:06:32,157 --> 01:06:34,196
If he lives that long.
757
01:06:38,347 --> 01:06:41,120
Hello. I'm looking for Petey,
have you seen him?
758
01:06:42,691 --> 01:06:44,671
Do you know where to find him?
759
01:06:57,552 --> 01:07:00,780
<i>Nina said three or four places,
I must have hit twenty.</i>
760
01:07:01,245 --> 01:07:03,196
<i>And every answer the same.</i>
761
01:07:03,710 --> 01:07:04,810
<i>No.</i>
762
01:07:05,803 --> 01:07:08,605
<i>The shake of their head,
a frightened face.</i>
763
01:07:10,111 --> 01:07:14,043
<i>They knew where I could find what I was
looking for, but they wouldn't talk.</i>
764
01:07:14,483 --> 01:07:16,141
<i>They were scared.</i>
765
01:08:08,257 --> 01:08:11,660
But, Vince! Appreciate the fact
that at least I called you.
766
01:08:11,961 --> 01:08:14,015
I let him stay, it's another rap.
767
01:08:14,075 --> 01:08:17,623
Another rap, I get life! You've
got to appreciate that!
768
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,296
And I'd appreciate it if you'd
tell me where to find Petey.
769
01:08:24,044 --> 01:08:25,306
Right now!
770
01:08:25,366 --> 01:08:26,758
Sure, Eddie.
771
01:08:27,096 --> 01:08:28,152
Sure.
772
01:08:34,841 --> 01:08:36,822
Ocean Boulevard and 25th.
773
01:09:43,996 --> 01:09:46,490
Who's there? Who is it?
-Eddie.
774
01:09:47,355 --> 01:09:48,910
Eddie Riccardi.
775
01:09:49,277 --> 01:09:52,886
Oh, Eddie boy. Every cop in the
city is out gunning for you!
776
01:09:53,350 --> 01:09:55,403
Maybe you don't care if you live...
777
01:09:55,711 --> 01:09:57,604
I got a few more years left!
778
01:09:57,839 --> 01:09:59,526
Open the door, Petey.
779
01:10:00,083 --> 01:10:01,799
You're dead if you don't.
780
01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:04,769
All right, Eddie.
781
01:10:12,804 --> 01:10:15,914
You didn't think I'd leave you out
there in the cold, did you Eddie?
782
01:10:16,545 --> 01:10:20,550
Five years, no see! But, you sure got
a hot fire burning under you, huh?
783
01:10:21,019 --> 01:10:22,105
Yeah.
784
01:10:24,891 --> 01:10:26,900
You need a pal, a friend.
785
01:10:30,025 --> 01:10:32,240
Sure, I need a friend, Petey.
786
01:10:32,483 --> 01:10:36,263
Look, old friend... Will you...will
you put that mouthpiece away?
787
01:10:36,323 --> 01:10:39,153
Somehow I...I still believe they go off!
788
01:10:39,926 --> 01:10:42,669
And, Samson my cat, you remember my cat?
789
01:10:44,180 --> 01:10:46,439
He's not feeling too good again.
790
01:10:46,949 --> 01:10:49,545
You stay careful and
nothing will happen.
791
01:10:49,605 --> 01:10:53,110
Oh sure. Sure, Eddie. You're
talking to Petey, remember?
792
01:10:53,340 --> 01:10:55,746
Any objections to my moving in with you?
793
01:10:56,025 --> 01:10:58,416
I'll be gone, tomorrow or the next day.
794
01:10:58,476 --> 01:11:01,771
Oh, me? Turn away practically,
my own flesh and blood?
795
01:11:03,341 --> 01:11:04,822
Relax, Eddie.
796
01:11:08,491 --> 01:11:11,308
There you are, Eddie. Nothing's
too good for you.
797
01:11:12,355 --> 01:11:16,154
How about some food, Petey?
I haven't eaten all night.
798
01:11:16,536 --> 01:11:18,370
You haven't changed a bit.
799
01:11:18,590 --> 01:11:20,086
Always hungry!
800
01:11:20,146 --> 01:11:22,022
Still tied up with Vince?
801
01:11:24,002 --> 01:11:27,670
I do a little private eyeing on the side.
A job here, a job there.
802
01:11:28,007 --> 01:11:29,284
Nothing big.
803
01:11:31,150 --> 01:11:32,705
I'll telephone.
804
01:11:43,749 --> 01:11:47,358
Hello, friend? Petey! I got
a special customer.
805
01:11:47,828 --> 01:11:49,852
Yeah. Yeah, an old one.
806
01:11:50,881 --> 01:11:54,094
How about sending something over?
He's tired and hungry.
807
01:11:54,813 --> 01:11:56,778
A pot of coffee and a sandwich.
808
01:11:56,969 --> 01:11:58,011
Turkey.
809
01:11:58,266 --> 01:11:59,352
Tongue
810
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:01,684
Egg salad combination.
811
01:12:02,638 --> 01:12:04,442
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
812
01:12:05,543 --> 01:12:06,863
You got it.
813
01:12:12,752 --> 01:12:16,068
You see, Eddie? Everything's
just like old times.
814
01:12:16,655 --> 01:12:18,474
If you say so, Petey.
815
01:12:20,114 --> 01:12:21,948
I'm gettin' kinda sleepy.
816
01:12:22,271 --> 01:12:25,308
You just make yourself at home,
food will be along pretty soon.
817
01:12:25,368 --> 01:12:28,183
Vince has gotten to be a big
man the last five years.
818
01:12:28,675 --> 01:12:31,168
I'm really gettin' pretty tired, friend.
819
01:12:31,228 --> 01:12:33,457
Why don't you bring me
up to date, Petey?
820
01:12:33,517 --> 01:12:35,247
I'm really awful tired, friend!
821
01:12:35,307 --> 01:12:37,501
How long will it take Vince to get here?
822
01:12:37,971 --> 01:12:40,861
Eddie...Eddie, you...you embarrass me.
823
01:12:41,135 --> 01:12:43,834
I'll kill you if you don't give
it to me straight, Petey!
824
01:12:43,894 --> 01:12:47,047
Eddie...Eddie, don't talk like that.
Samson's sick!
825
01:12:47,543 --> 01:12:50,403
I'm telling you, Eddie!
-What are you telling me? How long?
826
01:12:50,463 --> 01:12:53,557
Five minutes? Ten? Fifteen minutes?
Twenty minutes?
827
01:12:54,096 --> 01:12:57,015
About...about fifteen minutes, Eddie.
828
01:12:57,323 --> 01:13:00,902
Vince puts you on the spot!
He's that way with all the boys!
829
01:13:01,162 --> 01:13:04,781
Blow Eddie! Take me with you.
You and me was always friends!
830
01:13:04,841 --> 01:13:08,273
You just stay in front of me and keep your
mouth shut and you won't get into trouble.
831
01:13:08,333 --> 01:13:11,265
Sure, Eddie! You got nothing
to worry about from me.
832
01:13:11,325 --> 01:13:14,361
Just stay my friend, Petey.
-Yeah, Eddie.
833
01:13:27,837 --> 01:13:29,935
You're retired, you can go home now.
834
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:32,601
Your friend want a ride?
-Not tonight.
835
01:13:34,995 --> 01:13:36,151
$2.80
836
01:13:36,711 --> 01:13:39,616
This will get you a thousand.
Come on, Petey.
837
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,005
Take care of Petey.
838
01:15:45,187 --> 01:15:46,434
Eddie!
839
01:15:46,625 --> 01:15:48,165
Let's get out of here!
840
01:15:49,661 --> 01:15:51,158
Go ahead, Petey.
841
01:15:51,610 --> 01:15:52,974
Thanks, Eddie.
842
01:15:54,148 --> 01:15:55,615
They're coming!
843
01:18:02,988 --> 01:18:04,191
Eddie.
844
01:18:04,792 --> 01:18:06,274
Can you hear me?
845
01:18:09,079 --> 01:18:10,898
We can make a break.
846
01:18:11,558 --> 01:18:13,319
Cover for each other.
847
01:18:14,096 --> 01:18:15,739
I got a place.
848
01:18:17,148 --> 01:18:18,820
You and me, Eddie.
849
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,342
We'll start up again.
850
01:18:22,914 --> 01:18:25,056
Just like old times.
851
01:18:30,072 --> 01:18:31,671
I got money, Eddie.
852
01:18:32,992 --> 01:18:34,327
Big money!
853
01:18:37,521 --> 01:18:39,355
Samson! Samson!
854
01:18:39,986 --> 01:18:41,159
Samson!
855
01:18:43,096 --> 01:18:44,841
Petey! Come back!
856
01:18:46,807 --> 01:18:47,908
Samson.
857
01:18:48,318 --> 01:18:50,446
Samson, baby. Samson.
858
01:19:47,773 --> 01:19:50,091
Riccardi! Alexander!
859
01:19:50,292 --> 01:19:53,813
We'll give you three minutes to come out.
We're gonna start counting.
860
01:19:54,135 --> 01:19:57,920
At the end of three minutes if you're
not out, we're coming to get you!
861
01:19:58,429 --> 01:20:00,600
This is your last chance, Eddie.
862
01:20:01,862 --> 01:20:04,121
There's just you and me left now.
863
01:20:04,181 --> 01:20:05,676
No deal, Vince.
864
01:20:06,455 --> 01:20:08,538
I know you killed Joe Williams.
865
01:20:08,978 --> 01:20:10,357
Okay...
866
01:20:11,516 --> 01:20:13,071
No deals.
867
01:21:51,795 --> 01:21:54,993
We want you, Riccardi..
Alive, Alexander!
868
01:21:55,595 --> 01:21:58,646
If you're in there and not wounded,
bring Riccardi out.
869
01:21:59,653 --> 01:22:03,761
You, Riccardi! If you're alone, come
out with your hands in the air!
870
01:22:06,712 --> 01:22:09,176
Here's when you and I part company.
871
01:22:09,396 --> 01:22:12,081
You're gonna get paid off in full.
872
01:22:41,345 --> 01:22:43,574
Thanks for bringing him out, Vince.
873
01:22:43,853 --> 01:22:47,169
Now, drop your gun.
I said drop your gun, Vince!
874
01:22:49,233 --> 01:22:51,932
Eddie will take what I
got first, Anderson!
875
01:22:54,015 --> 01:22:56,568
All police officers hold your fire!
876
01:22:57,552 --> 01:22:59,532
Don't be crazy, Alexander.
877
01:22:59,899 --> 01:23:02,774
There have been enough people killed.
Give yourself up.
878
01:23:02,834 --> 01:23:04,491
No bargains, Anderson!
879
01:23:04,551 --> 01:23:06,487
You want Riccardi alive...
880
01:23:06,547 --> 01:23:07,866
I want out!
881
01:23:07,926 --> 01:23:10,682
What guarantee have I got that
you won't kill Riccardi?
882
01:23:10,742 --> 01:23:13,250
You don't!
-Be sensible, Alexander.
883
01:23:13,979 --> 01:23:16,854
If we let you out now,
we'll get you later.
884
01:23:17,089 --> 01:23:19,040
You'll be dead before morning.
885
01:23:19,245 --> 01:23:21,930
You got 30 seconds to make
up your mind, Anderson!
886
01:23:22,688 --> 01:23:24,053
I go...
887
01:23:24,361 --> 01:23:26,415
or Riccardi gets it in the back!
888
01:23:29,595 --> 01:23:31,388
Sat down, Eddie! Don't move!
889
01:24:05,464 --> 01:24:06,711
Is he dead?
890
01:24:06,771 --> 01:24:09,234
He will be if we don't get
him to a hospital.
891
01:24:15,716 --> 01:24:19,090
That taxi driver must have really
gotten to you in a hurry.
892
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,980
He did, asking for a $1000 reward.
893
01:24:22,337 --> 01:24:26,826
And all the questions you want to ask...
I called Dr Kemble from San Francisco.
894
01:24:27,149 --> 01:24:31,242
We knew Vince killed Jow Williams,
we found his blood on Joe's clothing.
895
01:24:31,604 --> 01:24:34,435
It matched up with our
lab files, yours didn't.
896
01:24:34,740 --> 01:24:37,351
And, Hazel told us the truth about Coke.
897
01:24:37,747 --> 01:24:41,254
Now, just get well. We'll finish
our business later.
898
01:24:42,217 --> 01:24:43,391
Nina...
899
01:24:43,451 --> 01:24:45,782
She's fine...in the waiting room.
900
01:25:05,063 --> 01:25:08,173
You shouldn't kiss a guy like
that when he's sick in bed.
901
01:25:10,205 --> 01:25:14,254
Well, I've been waiting outside all the
time. They wouldn't tell me anything.
902
01:25:14,314 --> 01:25:15,970
I was afraid...
903
01:25:17,151 --> 01:25:18,647
It's all right.
904
01:25:19,674 --> 01:25:21,170
We'll go away.
905
01:25:21,230 --> 01:25:24,222
We'll find that...crazy world of yours.
906
01:25:25,698 --> 01:25:27,151
Sure.
907
01:25:30,408 --> 01:25:32,373
There's only one thing...
908
01:25:33,675 --> 01:25:35,494
You'll always be...
909
01:25:35,758 --> 01:25:37,298
Eddie Rice.
910
01:25:38,853 --> 01:25:40,540
For the rest of my life.
911
01:25:40,990 --> 01:25:43,059
I have the doc's word for him.
912
01:25:44,673 --> 01:25:46,110
Come here.
|
After sustaining a head wound in combat, decorated World War II veteran Eddie Rice (John Payne) is treated at a San Francisco military hospital for a permanent form of amnesia. This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.
Rice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely.

1
00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556
This is the Letterman General Hosiptal
at San Francisco, California.
2
00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219
For those outside these gates the
war is over, a thing of the past.
3
00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888
For those behind these gates there's a
grim, hard, bitter fight still going on.
4
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518
Take one case, the case
of Eddie Rice, age 33.
5
00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206
Enlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.
Holder of the Silver Star, but today...
6
00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026
A name and date number, a medical file.
For five years a chart on a hospital bed.
7
00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340
A victim of amnesia.
A mind with a blocked out past.
8
00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127
Where were you born, Eddie?
Who are your parents?
9
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912
Any brothers? Sisters?
10
00:01:54,277 --> 00:01:58,775
Where did you go to school?
What's your trade? Profession?
11
00:01:59,433 --> 00:02:01,748
Are you rich?
Poor?
12
00:02:02,051 --> 00:02:03,689
Got a girl?
13
00:02:03,915 --> 00:02:05,289
Married?
14
00:02:05,349 --> 00:02:06,869
I don't know.
15
00:02:07,378 --> 00:02:09,015
I don't know!
16
00:02:09,824 --> 00:02:11,537
I can't remember.
17
00:02:12,444 --> 00:02:14,571
I just can't remember, doctor.
18
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:30,922
You had me open. What did you quit for?
-We did the best we could, Eddie.
19
00:02:31,218 --> 00:02:33,439
It'll just have to stay there.
20
00:02:34,606 --> 00:02:38,483
Is that final?
-Unless you want your name on a headstone.
21
00:02:38,543 --> 00:02:43,592
That shrapnel's too deep in your brain.
Scar tissue has grown all around it.
22
00:02:43,652 --> 00:02:46,980
Believe me, we tried.
-Yeah, I guess you did.
23
00:02:48,391 --> 00:02:52,551
Where do I go from here?
-Eddie, there are two kinds of amnesia:
24
00:02:52,611 --> 00:02:54,895
psychological and organic.
25
00:02:55,178 --> 00:03:00,240
The psychological form is temporary, but
it can be cured through psychotherapy.
26
00:03:01,016 --> 00:03:03,876
Yours is organic, it's permanent.
27
00:03:04,347 --> 00:03:07,772
That piece of steel in your brain
has blocked out your memory.
28
00:03:07,832 --> 00:03:10,863
Which doesn't leave me much
of a future, does it?
29
00:03:10,923 --> 00:03:15,071
Of course it does, physically
you're normal and healthy.
30
00:03:15,131 --> 00:03:17,771
You've received the maximum
medical benefits
31
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:22,559
You've completed training courses that make
you fit to hold down a job and face life.
32
00:03:23,499 --> 00:03:26,540
With no address, no next
of kin, nothing.
33
00:03:27,489 --> 00:03:29,567
Enlisted from Los Angeles...
34
00:03:29,627 --> 00:03:32,397
Intelligence ran that down
for us, remember?
35
00:03:32,867 --> 00:03:35,818
Oh sure, there were a lot of
people named Rice there...
36
00:03:36,026 --> 00:03:37,682
but not this Eddie Rice.
37
00:03:37,742 --> 00:03:41,777
But, Army Intelligence didn't mow
Los Angeles lawns as a kid, Eddie.
38
00:03:41,837 --> 00:03:44,292
They didn't trade at the corner market.
39
00:03:44,352 --> 00:03:48,775
They didn't work with people in a factory,
in an office, as you might have done.
40
00:03:48,986 --> 00:03:50,136
Now...
41
00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:54,081
If you went down there...and ran
into somebody who knew you,
42
00:03:54,141 --> 00:03:55,918
just one person...
43
00:03:56,384 --> 00:03:57,694
Yes...
44
00:03:58,992 --> 00:04:01,702
If I ran into just one person
who knew me.
45
00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:03,689
One guy...
46
00:04:04,785 --> 00:04:07,149
Who would come up to me and say:
47
00:04:07,616 --> 00:04:08,775
"Eddie."
48
00:04:08,986 --> 00:04:10,491
"Eddie Rice."
49
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:12,253
"How have you been?"
50
00:04:12,581 --> 00:04:14,132
"Where have you been?"
51
00:04:14,192 --> 00:04:15,577
That's it, Eddie.
52
00:04:15,637 --> 00:04:18,766
And then, they'd tell me about
someone else I used to know.
53
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:21,626
And, I'd meet somebody else.
54
00:04:22,635 --> 00:04:24,141
And another...
55
00:04:25,342 --> 00:04:26,908
And another...
56
00:04:57,774 --> 00:05:00,996
<i>Sure, it scares you to go out into
a world you don't remember...</i>
57
00:05:01,484 --> 00:05:02,959
<i>but you're here now.</i>
58
00:05:03,742 --> 00:05:05,473
<i>It'll be a new life.</i>
59
00:05:05,805 --> 00:05:07,295
<i>A new start.</i>
60
00:05:08,231 --> 00:05:10,189
<i>Find yourself a place to live.</i>
61
00:05:10,957 --> 00:05:12,613
<i>Get yourself a job.</i>
62
00:05:13,290 --> 00:05:14,540
<i>Get going.</i>
63
00:05:15,353 --> 00:05:16,919
<i>Get going, Eddie!</i>
64
00:05:19,198 --> 00:05:20,357
Eddie!
65
00:05:20,417 --> 00:05:22,736
You know, it's a small world, Eddie.
66
00:05:22,796 --> 00:05:25,266
We came down here to pick
up a little of one thing,
67
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:28,650
and we ran into a little of another!
-A lot of us thought you were dead.
68
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:32,851
Yes, and...those that didn't hoped you
were. What are you doing in town?
69
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,642
I'm just in from San Francisco.
70
00:05:36,702 --> 00:05:40,060
I didn't ask you that.
-He asked you what you were doing in town.
71
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,354
I cam here to look up some...people.
72
00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:45,989
Funny, I...I had a feeling that was it.
73
00:05:46,049 --> 00:05:48,443
Anderson one of them?
-Anderson?
74
00:05:49,719 --> 00:05:50,698
Maybe.
75
00:05:50,758 --> 00:05:54,251
I think you're lying, Eddie. I don't think you
were gonna look up Anderson at all.
76
00:05:54,311 --> 00:05:57,458
Barrett, do you think he was gonna
look up Anderson? -No, Joe.
77
00:05:57,699 --> 00:06:00,108
Not Anderson.
-I'll tell you what...
78
00:06:00,168 --> 00:06:02,737
I got a car and nothing
to do for a while...
79
00:06:02,797 --> 00:06:05,478
Let's go see Anderson together.
Any objections?
80
00:06:07,616 --> 00:06:09,016
No objections.
81
00:06:09,076 --> 00:06:11,256
Stick around, Kelly may still show.
82
00:06:11,452 --> 00:06:12,506
Let's go.
83
00:06:35,122 --> 00:06:37,667
'Honorable discharge of Edward Rice.'
84
00:06:41,972 --> 00:06:43,568
What's the gimmick?
85
00:06:44,110 --> 00:06:46,399
If you'd put away your blackjacks
long enough
86
00:06:46,459 --> 00:06:48,431
maybe I could get it through
your heads that...
87
00:06:48,491 --> 00:06:50,714
I don't know what you're talking about.
88
00:06:50,774 --> 00:06:52,912
You got yourself a sense
of humor, Eddie.
89
00:06:52,972 --> 00:06:56,010
You think you come back here with
a dumb look and a Silver Star...
90
00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:58,958
That changes a no good heel?
-But, I'm trying to tell you that...
91
00:06:59,018 --> 00:07:01,382
You don't have to tell us
anything about yourself.
92
00:07:01,442 --> 00:07:03,881
We got it all down in black and white.
93
00:07:06,019 --> 00:07:07,630
Read it, Riccardi.
94
00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:09,313
We didn't dream it up.
95
00:07:09,795 --> 00:07:12,355
Possession of a weapon
with intent to kill.
96
00:07:12,882 --> 00:07:14,553
Suspicion of murder.
97
00:07:17,184 --> 00:07:18,566
<i>Riccardi...</i>
98
00:07:19,274 --> 00:07:20,960
<i>Eddie Riccardi.</i>
99
00:07:21,638 --> 00:07:25,236
<i>That's not me, it can't be.
It only looks like me!</i>
100
00:07:26,348 --> 00:07:29,103
<i>I better get out of here!
I've got to get out!</i>
101
00:07:29,163 --> 00:07:33,093
Five years ago we hustled you out of town,
for good. Now what are you here for?
102
00:07:34,253 --> 00:07:35,939
<i>You've got to play ball.</i>
103
00:07:35,999 --> 00:07:39,153
<i>You need time. You need more
time to find out about yourself.</i>
104
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,894
Riccardi's just playing dumb, Captain.
105
00:07:42,556 --> 00:07:44,122
Put him in the lockup.
106
00:07:44,498 --> 00:07:47,085
I'm finding about these...
discharge papers.
107
00:07:47,145 --> 00:07:49,358
If they're phonies, we'll pin a
real one on him.
108
00:07:49,418 --> 00:07:50,999
Just a minute, Lieutenant.
109
00:07:52,426 --> 00:07:56,627
I guess, maybe I didn't want the army
to know about Eddie...Riccardi.
110
00:07:57,317 --> 00:08:00,133
The only friends I have
know me as Eddie Rice.
111
00:08:00,916 --> 00:08:02,813
I'd like to keep it that way.
112
00:08:03,219 --> 00:08:05,945
That's probably the first honest
thing you've ever said.
113
00:08:06,005 --> 00:08:07,537
Pick up your things.
114
00:08:10,967 --> 00:08:14,008
Be Eddie Rice in some other
town, but not here.
115
00:08:14,068 --> 00:08:18,540
Now, we can't hold you, but...you step
out of line once and we step on you.
116
00:08:26,034 --> 00:08:28,278
Notice anything different
about him, Williams?
117
00:08:28,338 --> 00:08:31,138
Nothing! If Riccardi stays in town
there's gonna be trouble.
118
00:08:31,198 --> 00:08:34,210
I don't know. He had a strange
look about him.
119
00:08:34,667 --> 00:08:37,934
Send to Washington for a complete
report on Edward Rice.
120
00:08:37,994 --> 00:08:40,870
That Silver Star, you really
do something to get one.
121
00:08:40,930 --> 00:08:43,686
Yeah, buy it in a pawn
shop for two bits.
122
00:09:01,270 --> 00:09:04,944
Nina, my sweet!
My beautiful, lovely...
123
00:09:05,004 --> 00:09:07,609
All right, Nick! Let's keep
it all business.
124
00:09:10,063 --> 00:09:13,240
Who is it this time?
-Petey. Suspicion of robbery.
125
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:16,251
Get him out before they start
shifting him around. -Petey?
126
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:17,588
Him?
127
00:09:17,648 --> 00:09:19,726
He wouldn't steal his own shadow.
128
00:09:19,786 --> 00:09:22,056
That was William's gag to get
him out of the way.
129
00:09:22,116 --> 00:09:25,670
I wouldn't know. Bail's $1000.
-Inflation!
130
00:09:25,730 --> 00:09:27,823
That's the whole trouble these days.
131
00:09:28,847 --> 00:09:30,714
Alexander, he unhappy?
132
00:09:31,252 --> 00:09:34,188
Nick. Keep your mind on your business.
133
00:09:34,248 --> 00:09:36,233
Let Vince worry about his, huh?
134
00:09:36,293 --> 00:09:39,259
Sure, beautiful Sure.
Forget I mentioned it.
135
00:09:53,907 --> 00:09:55,970
Take my advice, you leave town.
136
00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:57,837
I've got things to do.
137
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,125
Adios, boy! You're on your own.
138
00:10:04,466 --> 00:10:05,941
Kelly never showed.
139
00:10:06,001 --> 00:10:07,071
Odd.
140
00:10:07,131 --> 00:10:08,606
We'll hear from him.
141
00:10:18,132 --> 00:10:20,074
One of the usual fronts?
142
00:10:21,098 --> 00:10:24,064
You have a lot of Jane Does, Nick.
Use one of them.
143
00:10:26,732 --> 00:10:28,328
Of course, there's a big difference
144
00:10:28,388 --> 00:10:30,617
between the Florida oranges
and the California oranges.
145
00:10:30,677 --> 00:10:33,131
At least that's what the Chamber
of Commerce in Florida says.
146
00:10:33,191 --> 00:10:35,661
And the Chamber of Commerce
in California says...
147
00:10:35,872 --> 00:10:37,874
Orange juice, please.
-Yes, ma'am.
148
00:10:41,153 --> 00:10:42,388
Eddie.
149
00:10:44,691 --> 00:10:47,281
I thought it was you from
across the street.
150
00:10:48,856 --> 00:10:49,940
Hello.
151
00:10:51,204 --> 00:10:53,794
Is that the only thing
you've got to say?
152
00:10:54,110 --> 00:10:56,640
Well, there's a lot more
I could say, but...
153
00:10:57,107 --> 00:10:58,311
but you...
154
00:10:59,299 --> 00:11:00,609
Let's see...
155
00:11:01,814 --> 00:11:03,425
Nacy Morgan?
156
00:11:03,711 --> 00:11:05,051
Nora Murphy?
157
00:11:05,292 --> 00:11:09,176
No, you don't look like Nora Murphy.
-What'd you come back for, Eddie?
158
00:11:10,216 --> 00:11:12,610
A man has a right to come
home, hasn't he?
159
00:11:14,552 --> 00:11:17,699
My car is across the street,
I'll take you there.
160
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:18,994
Sure!
161
00:11:19,175 --> 00:11:20,228
Thanks.
162
00:11:45,318 --> 00:11:47,089
Vince know you're back?
163
00:11:47,149 --> 00:11:48,360
Vince?
164
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,025
Should he?
165
00:11:51,762 --> 00:11:53,419
You oughta know.
166
00:12:02,797 --> 00:12:04,499
Thanks for the lift.
167
00:12:07,503 --> 00:12:08,828
Coming in?
168
00:12:09,264 --> 00:12:11,447
Who said this was the end of the road?
169
00:12:12,833 --> 00:12:15,091
Who's complaining? Not me.
170
00:12:40,205 --> 00:12:41,530
Checking in?
171
00:12:41,771 --> 00:12:42,870
Long?
172
00:12:44,466 --> 00:12:45,896
I don't know yet.
173
00:12:46,739 --> 00:12:48,019
Alone?
174
00:12:48,648 --> 00:12:49,672
Yes.
175
00:12:52,517 --> 00:12:55,393
Edward Rice...San Francisco.
176
00:12:58,702 --> 00:13:00,042
304.
177
00:13:03,234 --> 00:13:06,757
I'll throw the stuff in the room and
be right back. -If you say so.
178
00:13:29,744 --> 00:13:32,665
Hello? hello, this is Nina.
I want to talk to Vince.
179
00:13:32,725 --> 00:13:33,885
He's busy.
180
00:13:33,945 --> 00:13:36,203
Not too busy for what
I've got to tell him.
181
00:13:36,263 --> 00:13:37,479
<i>He's not here.</i>
182
00:13:37,539 --> 00:13:41,379
Look, let's not keep where he is a
secret it might upset your whole future.
183
00:13:41,439 --> 00:13:42,945
Put me through to him!
184
00:13:55,033 --> 00:13:56,719
You talk too much.
185
00:13:57,397 --> 00:13:59,189
Another treatment, Kelly?
186
00:14:00,453 --> 00:14:01,603
Any...
187
00:14:02,265 --> 00:14:04,750
Any second...breaks, Vince?
188
00:14:06,993 --> 00:14:09,176
I'm easy to do business with.
189
00:14:10,165 --> 00:14:11,520
If you talk...
190
00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:12,830
you live.
191
00:14:14,034 --> 00:14:16,865
All i want to hear is your
angle with Joe Williams.
192
00:14:19,271 --> 00:14:22,463
Give him a cigarette, Danny.
It'll relax him.
193
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:30,609
I'm...trusting you, Vince.
194
00:14:30,834 --> 00:14:32,792
Sure. Sure, Kelly.
195
00:14:33,474 --> 00:14:35,612
I told you we'd turn you loose.
196
00:14:35,672 --> 00:14:37,388
You understand how I...
197
00:14:37,569 --> 00:14:40,942
How a guy feels when he's been
kicked out of the organization?
198
00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:43,633
I know...
199
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:47,533
I shouldn't of been a sucker and
told Williams about the...
200
00:14:48,253 --> 00:14:50,828
...about the silver dollar.
-Forget that.
201
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,915
What did you tell him about this?
-Nothing!
202
00:14:56,455 --> 00:14:58,201
Nothing much, really.
203
00:14:59,044 --> 00:15:01,755
Vince!
-What did you tell him, Kelly?
204
00:15:01,815 --> 00:15:03,185
Really, Vince...
205
00:15:03,381 --> 00:15:04,931
Nothing important.
206
00:15:05,688 --> 00:15:06,757
Just...
207
00:15:07,178 --> 00:15:08,970
a little of this and...
208
00:15:09,527 --> 00:15:11,304
that about the...
209
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,532
about the slot machines and...
210
00:15:14,315 --> 00:15:16,333
and the take. But, I...
211
00:15:16,787 --> 00:15:18,564
I phonied the figures.
212
00:15:19,403 --> 00:15:22,550
Honest I did.
-These figures aren't phoney.
213
00:15:22,836 --> 00:15:24,447
Where'd you get 'em?
214
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,684
Snatched them out of your safe, Vince.
215
00:15:31,219 --> 00:15:33,192
Williams is waiting for 'em.
216
00:15:33,535 --> 00:15:37,359
He was going to bundle me out of town,
bring me back for the trial.
217
00:15:38,696 --> 00:15:42,083
But, I was gonna duck.
They never would of found me.
218
00:15:44,568 --> 00:15:46,480
That's the truth, Vince!
219
00:15:54,771 --> 00:15:56,021
Hello.
220
00:15:56,788 --> 00:15:58,264
Hello, Nina.
221
00:16:02,956 --> 00:16:05,242
You sure it's him?
-I was with him!
222
00:16:05,302 --> 00:16:08,524
First I saw him outside police
headquarters talking to Joe Williams,
223
00:16:08,584 --> 00:16:10,466
then I drove him to the Cortez.
224
00:16:10,689 --> 00:16:14,362
He cked in under the name
of Eddie Rice, room 304.
225
00:16:14,422 --> 00:16:15,552
Thanks.
226
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:37,164
You still want to take that trip, Kelly?
227
00:16:39,317 --> 00:16:41,560
You don't have to worry about me, Vince.
228
00:16:42,019 --> 00:16:43,028
Don.
229
00:16:44,194 --> 00:16:45,820
Big mouth Kelly.
230
00:16:46,257 --> 00:16:48,832
You think what he's got
may be contagious?
231
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:50,563
Very...catchy.
232
00:16:51,562 --> 00:16:54,648
What's your opinion, Don?
-Very, definitely.
233
00:16:56,621 --> 00:16:58,283
What can I do?
234
00:16:59,322 --> 00:17:01,686
The consultation's in agreement.
235
00:17:04,595 --> 00:17:05,769
Kelly!
236
00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:07,380
You're dead!
237
00:17:09,097 --> 00:17:10,527
Oh, and Kelly...
238
00:17:10,774 --> 00:17:14,749
When you get to where you're going,
have 'em give you a nice, even burn.
239
00:17:14,809 --> 00:17:17,579
Don't let them just fry you on one side.
240
00:18:01,054 --> 00:18:05,210
I'm sorry to bother you again, but..
has there been any sign of the girl yet?
241
00:18:07,876 --> 00:18:09,051
Thanks.
242
00:18:40,394 --> 00:18:42,743
Don't you believe in knocking on doors?
243
00:18:43,857 --> 00:18:45,814
Who are you? What do you want?
244
00:19:00,538 --> 00:19:02,661
So, that's where you've been hold up...
245
00:19:02,932 --> 00:19:04,498
Eddie Rice!
246
00:19:05,181 --> 00:19:08,990
No wonder I couldn't get a line on you.
Are you back sightseeing?
247
00:19:09,378 --> 00:19:10,854
Mr Rice?
248
00:19:13,052 --> 00:19:15,326
This supposed to be a free country?
249
00:19:15,684 --> 00:19:17,250
Free town?
250
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:18,951
Open to anyone?
251
00:19:19,011 --> 00:19:20,366
Not with me in it.
252
00:19:20,635 --> 00:19:23,240
You didn't waste much time
picking up with the cops.
253
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:27,395
Why should it worry you about
me talking to Williams?
254
00:19:27,455 --> 00:19:29,274
You've got me confused, Eddie.
255
00:19:29,771 --> 00:19:33,460
Only a sucker would walk back in
town after the deal you pulled.
256
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,979
Some things a fella has to...
257
00:19:37,401 --> 00:19:39,102
find out for himself.
258
00:19:40,096 --> 00:19:41,948
Not about you and me.
259
00:19:50,768 --> 00:19:53,283
I've been saving this for five years.
260
00:19:54,021 --> 00:19:57,378
Everyone in life has his bible,
this is mine.
261
00:19:58,978 --> 00:20:03,661
I take it out and read it every day. I read
it to remind me of a guy I grew up with.
262
00:20:03,917 --> 00:20:05,648
Got shoved around with.
263
00:20:06,277 --> 00:20:08,566
We used to take a lot of raps together.
264
00:20:09,439 --> 00:20:13,143
Some people would call a guy
like that a...a loyal friend.
265
00:20:13,968 --> 00:20:15,353
He was.
266
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:22,050
Until he turned into a dirty stool pigeon,
and let me take the rap for him!
267
00:20:38,866 --> 00:20:40,070
Eddie...
268
00:20:41,380 --> 00:20:42,811
Riccardi?
269
00:20:43,025 --> 00:20:47,105
My good friend who sold me out
to a cop named Joe Williams!
270
00:20:58,268 --> 00:21:00,541
Don't mess up his face too much.
271
00:21:03,876 --> 00:21:05,909
I ought to kill you, Eddie.
272
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:08,709
But, you're not worth taking
another rap for!
273
00:21:08,769 --> 00:21:11,058
In 24 hours...disappear!
274
00:21:11,935 --> 00:21:15,006
Otherwise, I might be tempted
to change my mind!
275
00:21:15,624 --> 00:21:17,205
Give him some air!
276
00:22:11,865 --> 00:22:14,153
<i>Why didn't the girl come back?</i>
277
00:22:15,523 --> 00:22:17,812
<i>What did she know about me?</i>
278
00:22:18,730 --> 00:22:20,808
<i>Why did she bring me here?</i>
279
00:22:21,847 --> 00:22:23,111
<i>Vince...</i>
280
00:22:24,060 --> 00:22:26,123
<i>Why didn't Vince kill me?</i>
281
00:22:27,402 --> 00:22:29,450
<i>Maybe I deserved it.</i>
282
00:22:30,625 --> 00:22:33,140
<i>Maybe Dr Kemble ought to know?</i>
283
00:22:34,224 --> 00:22:36,051
<i>I better tell him.</i>
284
00:22:37,226 --> 00:22:39,033
<i>I better call him.</i>
285
00:22:40,328 --> 00:22:41,908
<i>I better...</i>
286
00:22:44,659 --> 00:22:45,879
Hello.
287
00:22:46,391 --> 00:22:50,456
I want to put through a call, person
to person. Dr Kemble...
288
00:22:50,652 --> 00:22:53,392
Letterman Genral Hospital,
San Francisco.
289
00:22:54,435 --> 00:22:56,091
K-E-M-B-L-E
290
00:22:57,411 --> 00:22:58,736
Thank you.
291
00:23:14,170 --> 00:23:15,961
Hello, Dr Kemble?
292
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,812
When do you expect him back?
293
00:23:19,219 --> 00:23:20,920
Not till tomorrow?
294
00:23:22,121 --> 00:23:24,500
Never mind, I'll see him personally.
295
00:24:15,503 --> 00:24:18,780
Forget about Union Station.
Take me to 7 Braxton Avenue.
296
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:30,476
Wait for me.
297
00:24:51,762 --> 00:24:53,961
Thanks a lot Lou, for driving me home.
298
00:24:54,021 --> 00:24:57,393
Just a minute, darling.
I'll walk to the door with you.
299
00:24:58,990 --> 00:25:02,378
It's early, Nina. A little drink for
a nightcap won't hurt you.
300
00:25:02,589 --> 00:25:04,456
That's what you think.
301
00:25:04,516 --> 00:25:07,825
You could make me forget that
thousand I dropped tonight, Nina.
302
00:25:07,885 --> 00:25:11,182
I can forget a lot of things, Lou.
You, for instance.
303
00:25:11,242 --> 00:25:13,633
Good night.
-Just a minute, baby.
304
00:25:13,693 --> 00:25:16,328
I'd like a little receipt
for that grand.
305
00:25:19,246 --> 00:25:20,827
That's better.
306
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:25,539
That's your receipt. Good night.
307
00:25:45,117 --> 00:25:46,758
Now listen...
308
00:25:50,045 --> 00:25:51,461
Go ahead.
309
00:25:51,521 --> 00:25:53,237
Take a good look.
310
00:25:53,629 --> 00:25:58,055
If you came to tell me how Vince welcomed
you back, you've said it. So, goodbye!
311
00:25:58,673 --> 00:26:02,272
I want to know what you had
to do with me...in my life.
312
00:26:04,596 --> 00:26:06,057
And this.
313
00:26:10,473 --> 00:26:12,160
December the 24th,
314
00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:13,801
1943.
315
00:26:14,162 --> 00:26:16,120
Ah, that was a lovely Christmas.
316
00:26:16,903 --> 00:26:19,041
One I'll never forget.
317
00:26:24,136 --> 00:26:26,380
Only one of your presents!
318
00:26:29,297 --> 00:26:33,664
Sure, I told Vince Alexander
you're back. I work for him.
319
00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:39,946
This clipping...
320
00:26:40,955 --> 00:26:45,366
Why couldn't you testify at the trial?
-Oh, no routines, I've heard them all.
321
00:26:48,454 --> 00:26:51,436
Listen to me!
I'm just out of an army hospital
322
00:26:51,496 --> 00:26:54,507
with a piece of steel in my head
and no memory to go with it.
323
00:26:54,567 --> 00:26:57,756
I'm here to find out about myself and
I'm getting answers the hard way!
324
00:26:57,816 --> 00:27:00,677
I don't know you, Vince Alexander...
325
00:27:00,737 --> 00:27:05,055
or anybody called Eddie Riccardi!
All I know is one person, Eddie Rice! Me!
326
00:27:07,178 --> 00:27:09,391
You're the last person I can turn to.
327
00:27:10,472 --> 00:27:12,263
Please believe me.
328
00:27:12,850 --> 00:27:14,115
Help me.
329
00:27:16,584 --> 00:27:19,039
That's a very touching speech.
330
00:27:21,477 --> 00:27:23,901
You lost your memory.
331
00:27:24,564 --> 00:27:28,298
You don't know why I couldn't
testify at the trial.
332
00:27:28,529 --> 00:27:32,067
You've forgotten how you used me to
make sure Vince would go to prison
333
00:27:32,127 --> 00:27:33,829
so you'd be set free.
334
00:27:33,889 --> 00:27:37,966
But, if you're back to your old tricks
again I've got sad news for you,
335
00:27:38,026 --> 00:27:40,752
I tore up your raincheck
three years ago.
336
00:27:43,494 --> 00:27:45,587
I'm not your wife anymore.
337
00:28:05,380 --> 00:28:08,090
Now to the station?
-Back to the hotel.
338
00:28:47,065 --> 00:28:49,579
You act like a cop that just
lost a conviction?
339
00:28:49,639 --> 00:28:52,877
Maybe I have, take a look at these.
Fresh out of the photo lab.
340
00:28:54,339 --> 00:28:56,808
Sharks don't talk, the
fingerprints spell Kelly.
341
00:28:56,868 --> 00:28:59,413
The Coroner said he was dead two
hours before he hit the water.
342
00:28:59,473 --> 00:29:01,807
Too bad. With the information
Kelly had for us
343
00:29:01,867 --> 00:29:04,186
we could have put Vince
away for a long stretch.
344
00:29:05,335 --> 00:29:07,066
What's eating you, Joe?
345
00:29:07,563 --> 00:29:09,295
I was a smart cop.
346
00:29:09,355 --> 00:29:12,712
I put Petey away to get him off of
Kelly's tail, and this is what happens.
347
00:29:12,772 --> 00:29:14,594
I feel like I killed Kelly.
348
00:29:14,654 --> 00:29:16,897
Riccardi...think he's tied up in it?
349
00:29:16,957 --> 00:29:19,909
Walking back into town that day
could tie him up in anything.
350
00:29:20,237 --> 00:29:22,706
Is the case my baby?
-All yours.
351
00:29:24,916 --> 00:29:26,301
Now what?
352
00:29:26,361 --> 00:29:28,936
I figure we shouldn't keep
it a secret from Vince.
353
00:29:40,844 --> 00:29:43,087
Only six days in the week now, huh?
354
00:29:43,455 --> 00:29:46,557
How do you like that, the card
must have fell out.
355
00:29:46,617 --> 00:29:48,604
It was there yesterday. Nick...
356
00:29:48,664 --> 00:29:50,125
Who's Jane Doe?
357
00:29:50,185 --> 00:29:52,817
Please, Lieutenant. I don't look
at their birth certificate.
358
00:29:52,877 --> 00:29:55,075
Lots of people don't use
their right names.
359
00:29:55,135 --> 00:29:59,002
With me, a buck is a buck.
I don't ask questions.
360
00:29:59,318 --> 00:30:02,435
Before I'm through, Nick...
you'll be answering a few.
361
00:30:08,026 --> 00:30:12,377
It's gettin' so you can't tail a guy anymore
without having the cops jump on ya.
362
00:30:12,437 --> 00:30:14,666
This town's goin' to the dogs.
363
00:30:14,981 --> 00:30:18,143
Samson and me...
-Petey! Get that cat off the desk!
364
00:30:18,776 --> 00:30:22,133
I was just saying, Samson and
me could stand a vacation.
365
00:30:22,389 --> 00:30:25,340
You want us to blow town?
-That's just what I don't want.
366
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,047
Coke will set you up, and stay quiet!
367
00:30:28,107 --> 00:30:30,667
Well, sure Vince, sure.
Anything you say.
368
00:31:05,567 --> 00:31:06,922
Hello, Danny.
369
00:31:16,370 --> 00:31:18,327
Come in. Come in, Joe.
370
00:31:18,674 --> 00:31:22,543
Pull up a chair and rest your feet.
I hear you've had a busy day.
371
00:31:26,329 --> 00:31:29,099
I figured you would.
I was saving you for last.
372
00:31:30,183 --> 00:31:31,644
Should I...
373
00:31:31,930 --> 00:31:33,993
relax or call in my lawyer?
374
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:36,698
That depends on how nervous you are.
375
00:31:36,758 --> 00:31:39,529
I was always thought nervous
guys bit their nails?
376
00:31:39,589 --> 00:31:41,095
Now, let me see...
377
00:31:41,317 --> 00:31:44,675
Nick was a little bit hazy about
who Jane Doe was.
378
00:31:44,946 --> 00:31:47,144
I thought you might be able to tell me.
379
00:31:47,336 --> 00:31:49,113
Never heard of the girl.
380
00:31:49,173 --> 00:31:50,634
Then there's Petey.
381
00:31:50,694 --> 00:31:54,654
And how certain people got know where
and just when to bail him out.
382
00:31:54,714 --> 00:31:57,014
Now...nobody knows anything.
383
00:31:57,421 --> 00:31:58,912
But, we'll find him.
384
00:31:59,273 --> 00:32:01,863
We;ve got all exits out of town plugged.
385
00:32:03,697 --> 00:32:06,483
And I got a hunch he'll
be real cooperative.
386
00:32:06,769 --> 00:32:08,063
You see...
387
00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:10,698
I don't think he knows
anything about this.
388
00:32:11,090 --> 00:32:12,249
Kelly.
389
00:32:12,798 --> 00:32:15,162
He's gone and gotten himself killed.
390
00:32:15,915 --> 00:32:17,571
Just like Kelly...
391
00:32:17,842 --> 00:32:19,920
You never know what he'll do next.
392
00:32:20,191 --> 00:32:21,983
That goes for a lot of guys.
393
00:32:22,449 --> 00:32:23,910
Take you and...
394
00:32:24,482 --> 00:32:26,529
Then again, take Eddie Riccardi...
395
00:32:26,589 --> 00:32:29,962
You boys forgive and forget,
and back in business again.
396
00:32:31,037 --> 00:32:34,485
You and Riccardi got a lot in common,
why don't you ask him?
397
00:32:34,545 --> 00:32:36,352
At the moment, you're number one.
398
00:32:36,623 --> 00:32:40,281
And, it won't be any...manslaughter
charge and out in two years.
399
00:32:41,076 --> 00:32:43,048
I put you away this time...
400
00:32:43,334 --> 00:32:44,840
it'll be for keeps.
401
00:32:47,035 --> 00:32:50,031
You got all the answers figured
out, haven't you?
402
00:32:50,091 --> 00:32:52,636
I might have, sooner than you think.
403
00:32:53,959 --> 00:32:55,479
So sorry!
404
00:33:35,693 --> 00:33:39,292
Me, I never had a complaint.
You call my old boss.
405
00:33:39,352 --> 00:33:42,115
He'll tell you my bringing in 500
a night at the gambling tables
406
00:33:42,175 --> 00:33:44,344
was a small bag of tell.
407
00:33:45,169 --> 00:33:48,993
Oh, Mr Alexander! I just came in looking
for a job and I was telling Ms Martin...
408
00:33:49,053 --> 00:33:50,378
Get rid of her.
409
00:33:51,278 --> 00:33:55,238
Vince, we need some new talent...
-Okay! Okay! Come back at eight tonight.
410
00:33:55,298 --> 00:33:58,324
She'll tell you what to do.
-Oh, gee! Thanks!
411
00:34:01,806 --> 00:34:03,899
You know Eddie's still in town?
412
00:34:05,013 --> 00:34:06,172
Yes.
413
00:34:06,353 --> 00:34:08,024
Been around to see you?
414
00:34:09,667 --> 00:34:10,796
When?
415
00:34:11,534 --> 00:34:13,266
Late last night.
416
00:34:14,184 --> 00:34:16,548
Did he tell ya I gave him
24 hours to get out?
417
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,249
No.
418
00:34:19,872 --> 00:34:22,793
Well, I changed my mind.
I want him to stay.
419
00:34:23,049 --> 00:34:25,142
I want you to make sure he does stay.
420
00:34:26,876 --> 00:34:29,827
My job's to work the tables
for you here, Vince, and...
421
00:34:30,324 --> 00:34:34,961
I don't even mind setups like the one with
Petey or...other deals like that, but...
422
00:34:36,439 --> 00:34:37,613
Vince...
423
00:34:38,336 --> 00:34:40,534
Stay out of my personal life!
424
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:42,311
Listen you...
425
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,041
When Eddie dropped you, who picked
you up and gave you your health?
426
00:34:46,101 --> 00:34:49,053
Who gave you your job?
Everything you got?
427
00:34:49,459 --> 00:34:51,206
Vince Alexander!
428
00:34:52,806 --> 00:34:54,538
I won't do it, Vince.
429
00:34:54,598 --> 00:34:55,923
Forget Eddie.
430
00:34:55,983 --> 00:34:57,639
When I get through with him.
431
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,717
But, now you're gonna meet him.
432
00:35:00,715 --> 00:35:03,440
And, I want you to make sure
he does stay in town.
433
00:35:34,220 --> 00:35:35,566
What'll it be?
434
00:35:35,626 --> 00:35:37,854
Did five years make you
forget that easily?
435
00:35:37,914 --> 00:35:41,016
I told you...in five years you
can forget a lot of things.
436
00:35:41,076 --> 00:35:43,064
Something for the lady?
-Rob Roy, please.
437
00:35:43,124 --> 00:35:44,491
The same.
438
00:35:48,131 --> 00:35:50,932
What made you change your mind
about seeing me again?
439
00:35:54,897 --> 00:35:58,210
You know, finding out I was married
to you kind of threw me.
440
00:35:58,992 --> 00:36:02,169
It was even something the boys at
the hospital used to rib me about.
441
00:36:02,564 --> 00:36:05,605
They had me fixed up with a
wife and four or five kids.
442
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:09,881
They didn't know how close the
gag came to being true.
443
00:36:11,474 --> 00:36:13,672
You still don't believe me, do you?
444
00:36:21,056 --> 00:36:25,236
Maybe this'll convince you it was Eddie
Rice that rang your doorbell last night.
445
00:36:26,537 --> 00:36:29,909
Call Dr Kemble at Letterman's
Hospital in San Francisco.
446
00:36:31,007 --> 00:36:33,025
He'll tell you the whole story.
447
00:36:38,141 --> 00:36:39,767
Tha cigarette case...
448
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,323
Doesn't it mean anything to you?
449
00:36:47,468 --> 00:36:48,868
Should it?
450
00:36:54,926 --> 00:36:57,350
Suppose I did believe you, then what?
451
00:36:59,488 --> 00:37:03,569
Then, I'd try and make you forget that
Eddie Riccardi was ever in your life.
452
00:37:04,476 --> 00:37:06,403
You think you can do that?
453
00:37:07,216 --> 00:37:08,737
Eddie Rice can.
454
00:37:20,823 --> 00:37:22,570
Eddie, leave town.
455
00:37:24,533 --> 00:37:27,228
Now you're talking like Vince.
-Maybe I was yesterday.
456
00:37:27,288 --> 00:37:30,492
Don't ask me why, but go.
-Nina, I don't frighten easily.
457
00:37:30,552 --> 00:37:33,353
You can take that message back to Vince.
Tell him I'm staying!
458
00:37:33,413 --> 00:37:36,816
That's what he wants you to do. That's
why I'm here, to keep you from leaving.
459
00:37:36,876 --> 00:37:38,740
I'd hate to disappoint him then.
460
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,895
Eddie, don't be stubborn, I know Vince.
He doesn't do anything without a reason.
461
00:37:43,964 --> 00:37:45,530
Neither do I.
462
00:37:47,802 --> 00:37:52,590
Stay then! Get yourself beaten up again,
or killed. Do anything you want.
463
00:38:35,782 --> 00:38:38,267
Riccardi.
-Very interesting.
464
00:38:47,205 --> 00:38:48,936
Scotch over water.
465
00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:53,136
Lose something, Charlie?
466
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,406
Tell Nina Martin, Eddie wants to see her.
-Eddie who?
467
00:38:59,658 --> 00:39:01,103
Just Eddie.
468
00:39:01,630 --> 00:39:03,060
Wait here.
469
00:39:11,467 --> 00:39:12,943
What'll I need?
470
00:39:13,003 --> 00:39:15,653
A thousand might bring you luck.
-A thousand?
471
00:39:15,894 --> 00:39:17,475
Give me a thousand.
472
00:39:24,925 --> 00:39:27,891
A character called Eddie's outside,
wants to see you.
473
00:39:27,951 --> 00:39:29,412
Eddie here?
474
00:39:29,788 --> 00:39:31,204
Get rid of him!
475
00:39:31,425 --> 00:39:33,668
That's not what Vince had in mind.
476
00:39:43,422 --> 00:39:44,972
All right, come on.
477
00:39:53,097 --> 00:39:54,663
6...9...12!
478
00:39:54,919 --> 00:39:56,636
All bets down.
479
00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:04,549
It's a nice layout. Vince ought to be
able to pick up some fast money.
480
00:40:04,609 --> 00:40:07,063
You're crazy to come walking in here.
481
00:40:07,123 --> 00:40:09,273
Maybe I'm just hard to convince.
482
00:40:10,477 --> 00:40:12,374
My dressing room is back there.
483
00:40:13,925 --> 00:40:16,590
I'll be back before the
wheel stops turning.
484
00:40:34,853 --> 00:40:35,973
Yeah?
485
00:40:37,478 --> 00:40:38,939
Okay, thanks.
486
00:40:43,645 --> 00:40:45,813
So, she wanted to get rid of him.
487
00:40:47,179 --> 00:40:50,040
I wonder if that dame is trying
to pull a double cross.
488
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,129
Get down to the Golden Horn and pick up
Eddie Riccardi, you'll find him with Nina.
489
00:40:55,189 --> 00:40:56,270
Just him?
490
00:40:56,571 --> 00:40:57,746
Just him.
491
00:40:58,197 --> 00:41:00,110
I'll get around to her later.
492
00:41:03,747 --> 00:41:05,569
I started to leave...
493
00:41:05,794 --> 00:41:08,309
but I kept thinking about
everything you told me.
494
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,230
If I'd of left I'd been all the
things you said I was.
495
00:41:11,727 --> 00:41:13,232
So, I'm staying.
496
00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:17,505
And, I'm taking you out of here.
497
00:41:18,498 --> 00:41:19,673
Nina.
498
00:41:21,043 --> 00:41:23,436
We could have a decent life together.
499
00:41:26,553 --> 00:41:28,465
You got it all figured out.
500
00:41:31,452 --> 00:41:36,089
Well, you're not taking me anywhere.
You pushed me into this life and I like it.
501
00:41:36,481 --> 00:41:41,374
I'm top bait around here steering nice,
fat, pigeons to the gambling table.
502
00:41:41,434 --> 00:41:46,174
I'm one of Vince's kind now and I'm keeping
my life and my job just the way they are.
503
00:41:46,234 --> 00:41:48,026
No matter what I have to do!
504
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:49,934
Come on.
505
00:41:59,090 --> 00:42:00,144
Thanks.
506
00:42:10,804 --> 00:42:13,469
Now, how about some champagne?
507
00:42:14,389 --> 00:42:17,581
Excuse me for a minute, honey.
I forgot I got to call my wife.
508
00:42:32,729 --> 00:42:35,048
Williams, Homicide.
Yeah, Barnes.
509
00:42:36,509 --> 00:42:37,653
Yeah!
510
00:42:38,586 --> 00:42:39,881
Thanks a lot!
511
00:42:40,377 --> 00:42:41,898
What's exciting?
512
00:42:50,385 --> 00:42:54,646
I said, what's exciting? Or, don't
you want to wake me up?
513
00:42:55,138 --> 00:42:59,113
Barnes casing the Golden Horn for vice
intel, tells me Riccardi just walked in.
514
00:42:59,805 --> 00:43:01,266
Trouble maybe?
515
00:43:01,717 --> 00:43:04,924
I could think of plenty of reasons why
there might be for Eddie Rice.
516
00:43:05,478 --> 00:43:07,300
You'll hear from me later.
517
00:43:25,961 --> 00:43:28,189
How you coming with that
Kelly report, Ben?
518
00:43:28,249 --> 00:43:30,945
Just finishing up for you.
-Okay, I'll wait.
519
00:43:33,515 --> 00:43:36,586
Somebody must've believed in that
old gag about an apple a day.
520
00:43:36,646 --> 00:43:40,513
Yeah, but they didn't know it would pin
a murder on them. -Quite an appetite.
521
00:43:40,573 --> 00:43:43,253
Psychological, it creates
a false hunger.
522
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:50,156
Well, here you are, Joe.
I can go home now.
523
00:43:50,216 --> 00:43:53,454
Thanks a lot, Ben. See you tomorrow.
-Okay, see ya tomorrow.
524
00:44:06,875 --> 00:44:07,778
Yeah?
525
00:44:07,838 --> 00:44:10,970
I'm interested in Eddie Riccardi,
not in what's going on in there.
526
00:44:11,030 --> 00:44:13,680
We don't know from Riccardi.
-I do, open up.
527
00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:18,240
Place your bets, folks. Place your
bets. Bet high/low...odd or even.
528
00:44:38,711 --> 00:44:39,795
Yes?
529
00:44:39,990 --> 00:44:43,438
Miss Martin? Williams, Homicide.
May I come in please?
530
00:44:43,732 --> 00:44:44,982
Come in.
531
00:44:47,432 --> 00:44:50,820
Eddie was just picked up by Danny.
-Where'd he take him?
532
00:44:52,557 --> 00:44:54,424
You'll hear from me later.
533
00:45:14,826 --> 00:45:16,377
You know, Williams?
534
00:45:17,054 --> 00:45:19,524
I'm not used to cops with insomnia.
535
00:45:20,201 --> 00:45:22,791
What's on your mind?
-It won't take long.
536
00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:25,960
Danny picked up Eddie Riccardi.
Where are they?
537
00:45:27,537 --> 00:45:29,329
You're in an awful rut.
538
00:45:29,540 --> 00:45:31,497
Always asking questions.
539
00:45:31,557 --> 00:45:33,846
All right...let's start over.
540
00:45:34,581 --> 00:45:37,306
Eddie was at the Golden Horn
with Nina Martin.
541
00:45:37,366 --> 00:45:39,685
Suddenly, he wasn't there anymore.
542
00:45:40,208 --> 00:45:41,368
So...
543
00:45:41,578 --> 00:45:44,018
So...I don't mind waiting.
544
00:45:45,900 --> 00:45:48,053
While we kill a little time...
545
00:45:49,429 --> 00:45:51,176
This might interest you.
546
00:46:01,803 --> 00:46:05,733
And, after we pick up Riccardi...
we're going down to police headquarters.
547
00:46:06,034 --> 00:46:08,579
You're gonna have a manicure...on me.
548
00:46:10,294 --> 00:46:13,380
You know, you're gonna look awful
silly when I get through with you.
549
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,819
If I'm wrong...I'll apologize.
550
00:46:21,050 --> 00:46:23,264
Say hello, nothing more.
551
00:46:25,733 --> 00:46:26,862
Hello.
552
00:46:27,674 --> 00:46:31,408
Vince, we're at the shop. Do we
stay or bring Riccardi up there?
553
00:46:32,507 --> 00:46:34,238
Tell him you'll be down.
554
00:46:52,464 --> 00:46:53,699
Okay, Coke...
555
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,385
<i>Bring him up here.</i>
556
00:47:28,724 --> 00:47:30,530
What do you want now?
557
00:47:41,819 --> 00:47:44,605
Just when he was coming up
in the department.
558
00:49:14,591 --> 00:49:15,886
Car 9-4
559
00:49:15,946 --> 00:49:17,813
9-4 to Control-4.
560
00:49:17,873 --> 00:49:20,252
<i>Clear Frequency-4, this is an emergency.</i>
561
00:49:20,312 --> 00:49:23,126
Control-4 to 94, go ahead.
562
00:49:23,186 --> 00:49:25,099
<i>Car 94 to Control-4</i>
563
00:49:25,159 --> 00:49:29,209
<i>Notify the Homicide Bureau, we have found
the body of Lt Williams in his car.</i>
564
00:49:29,269 --> 00:49:31,133
At Sepulveda and Sunset.
565
00:50:17,423 --> 00:50:18,763
Give you a lift, son?
566
00:50:18,823 --> 00:50:21,485
Thanks, I had a little accident
back up a side road.
567
00:50:21,545 --> 00:50:24,556
I have to go to town, get a tow car.
-Anybody killed?
568
00:50:27,016 --> 00:50:29,561
No luck at all tonight.
Hop in.
569
00:50:39,349 --> 00:50:42,090
Bet you thought I wouldn't stop
to pick you up, didn't you?
570
00:50:42,150 --> 00:50:43,638
I didn't know.
571
00:50:43,698 --> 00:50:45,113
It's late.
-See...
572
00:50:45,173 --> 00:50:49,130
That's why I fooled you. Have me orders.
Pick up anybody, anytime.
573
00:50:49,747 --> 00:50:51,870
Green Acres Morticians policy.
574
00:50:52,094 --> 00:50:54,698
Live today...maybe a customer tomorrow.
575
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,400
Pays off too.
576
00:50:56,460 --> 00:50:59,848
Most people remember the nice things
you do for them while they're living.
577
00:50:59,908 --> 00:51:03,864
We sure don't get any complaints about our
service from them after they're dead.
578
00:51:03,924 --> 00:51:05,927
Their family, that is.
579
00:51:07,423 --> 00:51:09,441
That accident hurt you any?
580
00:51:10,992 --> 00:51:13,069
Got a match?
-Sure do.
581
00:51:19,645 --> 00:51:21,813
Police, ambulance and everything.
582
00:51:22,114 --> 00:51:24,312
I wonder if I'm losing any customers?
583
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:40,902
Finished with Joe's stuff yet?
-Still working on it.
584
00:51:43,326 --> 00:51:44,816
It's too bad...
585
00:51:45,434 --> 00:51:48,460
Joe's wife sure liked him
in that suit too.
586
00:52:13,311 --> 00:52:16,021
Any line on Riccardi yet?
-Nothing, Captain.
587
00:52:16,081 --> 00:52:19,710
Keep trying, he's the last one who
might of seen Joe. -Okay.
588
00:52:20,197 --> 00:52:21,718
Eddie Riccardi.
589
00:52:24,187 --> 00:52:26,445
Guess Williams was right after all.
590
00:52:26,701 --> 00:52:28,538
Riccardi or Rice.
591
00:52:28,826 --> 00:52:32,530
A Silver Star and a dumb look doesn't
change a no good heel.
592
00:52:33,147 --> 00:52:36,173
Attention all units!
Attention all units!
593
00:52:36,233 --> 00:52:40,175
Be on the lookout for the following
<i>described suspect, wanted for murder:</i>
594
00:52:40,551 --> 00:52:43,322
<i>Eddie Riccardi, alias Eddie Rice,</i>
595
00:52:43,589 --> 00:52:46,164
<i>White male, American,</i>
596
00:52:46,224 --> 00:52:49,341
<i>Age 33, 6 foot 2.</i>
597
00:52:49,729 --> 00:52:51,506
<i>190 lbs...</i>
598
00:52:51,957 --> 00:52:53,312
<i>Dark brown...</i>
599
00:52:53,659 --> 00:52:55,944
You phone the cops and do 'em a favor,
600
00:52:56,004 --> 00:53:00,024
where to find a dead cop and the guy
that did it, and what happens...
601
00:53:05,972 --> 00:53:08,035
The first stop is Nina Martin's.
602
00:53:08,276 --> 00:53:10,474
I want Eddie before the cops get him.
603
00:53:10,730 --> 00:53:12,913
Then they can have him for a present.
604
00:53:14,334 --> 00:53:15,915
And alive!
605
00:53:32,066 --> 00:53:33,843
Eddie!
-Shut up!
606
00:53:34,168 --> 00:53:36,065
Get those lights out!
607
00:53:37,285 --> 00:53:39,152
Eddie, what happened?
608
00:53:40,533 --> 00:53:43,951
You certainly did a neat job
of tying me into a murder.
609
00:53:44,011 --> 00:53:46,089
Joe Williams was killed tonight.
610
00:53:46,149 --> 00:53:47,901
You?
-I don't know.
611
00:53:47,961 --> 00:53:51,138
The last thing I remember was being slugged
over the head at Vince Alexander's.
612
00:53:51,198 --> 00:53:53,713
I know you think that...
-I haven't got time to think!
613
00:53:53,773 --> 00:53:57,811
All I want is a few bucks, your car and
you in my sight till I get out of here!
614
00:53:57,871 --> 00:53:59,874
Eddie, you've got to believe me!
615
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:01,335
Believe?
616
00:54:01,656 --> 00:54:03,508
Like you believed me?
617
00:54:03,885 --> 00:54:05,661
Give me the keys!
618
00:54:10,271 --> 00:54:14,017
Eddie! This is why I turned on you
tonight, to get you away from Vince.
619
00:54:14,077 --> 00:54:16,992
The keys are in the car, you go,
I'll try to stall them off.
620
00:54:17,224 --> 00:54:19,468
And get a bullet in the back of my head?
621
00:54:19,528 --> 00:54:22,404
Oh, Eddie! You've got to trust me,
it's your only chance.
622
00:54:24,815 --> 00:54:26,091
Quick!
623
00:54:26,444 --> 00:54:28,043
The garage.
624
00:55:25,770 --> 00:55:29,188
This is where you get out. -Go to the
police, Eddie. Before it's too late.
625
00:55:29,248 --> 00:55:32,400
With my fingerprints all over the
gun and all over Williams car?
626
00:55:32,460 --> 00:55:35,257
I wouldn't last long enough to walk
to the nearest police station.
627
00:55:35,317 --> 00:55:38,133
If I did what could I tell them?
Now out!
628
00:55:38,788 --> 00:55:41,737
You want me to go home and wait
for Vince to come back again?
629
00:55:41,797 --> 00:55:45,800
That's something Eddie Riccardo would
tell me to do, not Eddie Rice.
630
00:55:49,139 --> 00:55:50,606
All right.
631
00:56:06,538 --> 00:56:07,668
Stop.
632
00:56:11,312 --> 00:56:13,997
Keep your lights off and
the motor running.
633
00:56:57,233 --> 00:56:59,889
Well, now you've got a gun! What next?
634
00:57:01,213 --> 00:57:04,044
I didn't ask for any killings,
so I'm in the middle.
635
00:57:04,528 --> 00:57:07,711
But, I'm not going to be a clay
pigeon for Vince Alexander.
636
00:57:08,308 --> 00:57:10,513
You can't prove anything dead.
637
00:57:10,573 --> 00:57:14,597
That would make Vince very happy,
something I wouldn't want to let happen.
638
00:57:15,047 --> 00:57:18,758
Is there any place we could go, someone
you can trust to put us up for the night?
639
00:57:18,818 --> 00:57:20,299
I need time.
640
00:57:21,747 --> 00:57:23,404
Maybe there is.
641
00:57:23,464 --> 00:57:25,443
It's a long chance, but...
642
00:57:28,917 --> 00:57:31,763
You don't think you're going to
get away with this, do you?
643
00:57:32,276 --> 00:57:34,477
We're staying here till tomorrow.
644
00:57:42,766 --> 00:57:46,004
Stay away from that phone!
If it rings, let it keep ringing!
645
00:57:46,064 --> 00:57:48,953
Get rid of anybody who comes to
the door, I'll be right behind you
646
00:57:49,013 --> 00:57:50,845
in case you give the wrong answers.
647
00:57:55,517 --> 00:57:58,539
What about the girl's place?
-There and gone.
648
00:57:58,599 --> 00:58:02,705
Get a teletype out on her car immediately,
have it re-broadcast every half hour.
649
00:58:08,211 --> 00:58:10,661
I want roadblocks at all these points.
650
00:58:10,721 --> 00:58:12,705
I want the airport, the railroad station,
651
00:58:12,765 --> 00:58:15,536
all the bus terminals put
under a 24 surveillance.
652
00:58:15,596 --> 00:58:18,001
I want every hotel and
flophouse notified.
653
00:58:18,061 --> 00:58:20,818
They're in this town somewhere
and they're not getting out.
654
00:58:21,019 --> 00:58:22,354
One other thing...
655
00:58:22,414 --> 00:58:26,887
We picked up Riccardi's fingerprints on
that gun shop. He's got a gun now.
656
00:58:27,294 --> 00:58:29,421
Don't give him a chance to use it!
657
00:58:29,481 --> 00:58:31,284
All right, start moving.
658
00:58:31,344 --> 00:58:33,908
<i>The police tightened its dragnet
about the city today.</i>
659
00:58:33,968 --> 00:58:36,988
<i>Riccardi escaped just as the police
were ready to close in on him</i>
660
00:58:37,048 --> 00:58:39,197
<i>after they received an
anonymous phone call</i>
661
00:58:39,257 --> 00:58:42,292
<i>which led them to discover the murdered
body of one of their men today.</i>
662
00:58:42,352 --> 00:58:44,067
<i>Every available man...</i>
663
00:58:47,714 --> 00:58:49,958
We'll wait till it's dark
and get out of here.
664
00:58:50,018 --> 00:58:52,423
You couldn't arrange to
drop dead before then?
665
00:58:52,483 --> 00:58:55,606
Hazel, you've got to believe us.
Eddie didn't do it!
666
00:58:55,897 --> 00:58:57,936
He should still drop dead.
667
00:58:58,269 --> 00:58:59,604
Twice.
668
01:00:12,318 --> 01:00:13,477
Coke!
669
01:00:36,274 --> 01:00:38,401
Get me a couple of clean towels.
670
01:00:42,231 --> 01:00:43,771
It's pretty bad.
671
01:00:44,739 --> 01:00:49,052
I'll have you out of here in a minute,
we'll find a doctor. -Go to the police.
672
01:00:49,497 --> 01:00:51,448
Eddie, go to the police.
673
01:00:53,848 --> 01:00:55,961
Your car in the garage?
-Yes.
674
01:00:56,021 --> 01:00:58,704
Where are your keys?
-In my purse.
675
01:00:58,764 --> 01:01:00,288
Take care of her.
676
01:01:22,875 --> 01:01:23,843
Thanks.
677
01:01:23,903 --> 01:01:26,748
I'll have the doctor come right
in the moment he returns.
678
01:01:38,651 --> 01:01:40,602
Light me a cigarette.
679
01:02:02,498 --> 01:02:04,288
You're far away.
680
01:02:06,205 --> 01:02:07,614
How far?
681
01:02:09,418 --> 01:02:10,885
Five years.
682
01:02:11,545 --> 01:02:13,041
A lifetime.
683
01:02:14,259 --> 01:02:15,961
Beyond that, a blank.
684
01:02:17,162 --> 01:02:18,879
Me too, Eddie.
685
01:02:18,939 --> 01:02:21,270
Only, it's been a different
kind of a blank.
686
01:02:21,798 --> 01:02:24,453
It's being pushed back
to Eddie Riccardi.
687
01:02:24,937 --> 01:02:26,184
This.
688
01:02:26,811 --> 01:02:30,215
The whole past that keeps me
from being like other people.
689
01:02:30,992 --> 01:02:32,763
Now all that's left is
690
01:02:32,823 --> 01:02:36,460
wondering what it would be like if there
had only been an Eddie Rice.
691
01:02:38,540 --> 01:02:41,287
If I'd of just met you
for the first time.
692
01:02:43,087 --> 01:02:45,508
Eddie Rice can have that.
693
01:02:48,248 --> 01:02:50,610
Oh, you're...good, Eddie.
694
01:02:51,681 --> 01:02:53,368
You're good.
695
01:02:54,934 --> 01:02:57,622
You've taken away the hate in me.
696
01:02:58,176 --> 01:02:59,995
Destroyed it.
697
01:03:01,946 --> 01:03:03,912
You're...good, Eddie.
698
01:03:07,874 --> 01:03:10,573
When a baby wants to be born,
hours don't matter!
699
01:03:10,633 --> 01:03:12,554
7 poundsd 7ounces...a boy.
700
01:03:12,614 --> 01:03:14,549
Doctor, her shoulder...
701
01:03:29,779 --> 01:03:31,760
I can't treat gun wounds.
702
01:03:31,820 --> 01:03:34,679
She'll have to go to the police
emergency hospital.
703
01:03:34,739 --> 01:03:36,179
I don't think so.
704
01:03:36,239 --> 01:03:39,260
I'm sorry, but I've got to report
this to the police.
705
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:40,624
Doctor.
706
01:03:41,138 --> 01:03:43,191
That report to the police...
707
01:03:43,539 --> 01:03:44,918
It'll wait.
708
01:03:45,123 --> 01:03:47,368
If you want to pull that
trigger, go ahead.
709
01:03:49,535 --> 01:03:51,603
Police headquarters, please.
710
01:03:53,055 --> 01:03:56,092
Put that gun away! I said I was
going to call the police.
711
01:03:56,293 --> 01:03:57,775
Police headquarters?
712
01:03:57,980 --> 01:04:00,914
This is Dr Stacey, 93 Chestnut Street.
713
01:04:01,174 --> 01:04:03,492
Send an ambulance and a squad car.
714
01:04:09,003 --> 01:04:10,602
How bad is it?
715
01:04:14,534 --> 01:04:16,118
She'll be all right.
716
01:04:18,447 --> 01:04:20,262
You'd better leave.
717
01:04:27,035 --> 01:04:30,805
Eddie, I'm scared...I'm scared...
-Take it easy, you'll be all right.
718
01:04:30,865 --> 01:04:33,341
Not for me, for you.
-Listen...
719
01:04:33,531 --> 01:04:37,507
I'm leaving you for a little while.
I've got an idea, it might work.
720
01:04:37,567 --> 01:04:39,672
Something very important.
721
01:04:40,214 --> 01:04:44,395
You knew all about me. The people
I used to know, the places I went.
722
01:04:44,699 --> 01:04:46,855
Think for me, go back five years.
723
01:04:46,915 --> 01:04:51,110
Who was there? Just one person.
Give me the answers, quick!
724
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,289
What you say is my only chance,
the only chance I've got.
725
01:04:54,349 --> 01:04:58,231
The only one left is...Petey.
He can't be trusted with Vince.
726
01:04:58,291 --> 01:05:01,337
Where will I find him?
-Not him, he's... -Tell me!
727
01:05:01,759 --> 01:05:04,457
Two, three places on Main Street.
728
01:05:05,198 --> 01:05:07,034
Fourth and Main...
729
01:05:07,094 --> 01:05:10,091
And after Nina ran in front of him,
Coke never had a chance.
730
01:05:10,151 --> 01:05:11,748
That Eddie sure didn't miss.
731
01:05:11,808 --> 01:05:14,345
Coke took three, went right through
his breakfast, lunch and supper.
732
01:05:14,405 --> 01:05:16,575
Anybody come around, ask any questions?
733
01:05:16,635 --> 01:05:19,900
None I couldn't answer, Vince.
-Get back down and keep him company.
734
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,570
But...but, the police?
-That's exactly what I want!
735
01:05:22,630 --> 01:05:25,559
Tell him how Riccardi broke into your
apartment, found Coke there
736
01:05:25,619 --> 01:05:28,727
pulled his gun and fired. Now do
what I told you, just that!
737
01:05:29,035 --> 01:05:31,250
All right, Vince.
-Take her back!
738
01:05:35,048 --> 01:05:37,293
Eddie's got to find a doctor somewhere.
739
01:05:37,484 --> 01:05:39,581
And, if he does what I think, he'll...
740
01:05:39,772 --> 01:05:42,295
dump the girl...and start looking
for a hidewaway.
741
01:05:43,785 --> 01:05:44,973
Get going!
742
01:05:45,033 --> 01:05:48,039
Spread the news I got a personal
interest in Eddie Riccardi.
743
01:05:48,099 --> 01:05:50,870
I don't want anything to happen
to him...until I get there.
744
01:05:51,389 --> 01:05:53,443
Unless the cops get him first.
745
01:05:54,467 --> 01:05:57,841
You through with him, Doc?
-Yup. He was a fine specimen.
746
01:05:57,901 --> 01:06:00,041
Would have had a long life
if this hadn't happened.
747
01:06:00,101 --> 01:06:02,051
I'll send you my report in the morning.
748
01:06:05,694 --> 01:06:08,335
I'm sure you don't mind coming
downtown, Miss Downs?
749
01:06:08,395 --> 01:06:10,477
Well, I...
-I thought not.
750
01:06:12,659 --> 01:06:14,859
What'd you find?
-It was them all right.
751
01:06:14,919 --> 01:06:17,471
Riccardi left the doctor's office
about 30 minutes ago
752
01:06:17,531 --> 01:06:20,830
Notify Communications? -They're blanketing
the whole area. -The girl?
753
01:06:20,890 --> 01:06:25,608
County Jail Hospital. Still out, whether
she's playing it safe or just not talking.
754
01:06:25,668 --> 01:06:29,085
Keep Melon there, the minute she comes
out, I want to know. -Any ideas?
755
01:06:29,145 --> 01:06:31,970
Lots! We need Riccardi to
explain some of them.
756
01:06:32,157 --> 01:06:34,196
If he lives that long.
757
01:06:38,347 --> 01:06:41,120
Hello. I'm looking for Petey,
have you seen him?
758
01:06:42,691 --> 01:06:44,671
Do you know where to find him?
759
01:06:57,552 --> 01:07:00,780
<i>Nina said three or four places,
I must have hit twenty.</i>
760
01:07:01,245 --> 01:07:03,196
<i>And every answer the same.</i>
761
01:07:03,710 --> 01:07:04,810
<i>No.</i>
762
01:07:05,803 --> 01:07:08,605
<i>The shake of their head,
a frightened face.</i>
763
01:07:10,111 --> 01:07:14,043
<i>They knew where I could find what I was
looking for, but they wouldn't talk.</i>
764
01:07:14,483 --> 01:07:16,141
<i>They were scared.</i>
765
01:08:08,257 --> 01:08:11,660
But, Vince! Appreciate the fact
that at least I called you.
766
01:08:11,961 --> 01:08:14,015
I let him stay, it's another rap.
767
01:08:14,075 --> 01:08:17,623
Another rap, I get life! You've
got to appreciate that!
768
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,296
And I'd appreciate it if you'd
tell me where to find Petey.
769
01:08:24,044 --> 01:08:25,306
Right now!
770
01:08:25,366 --> 01:08:26,758
Sure, Eddie.
771
01:08:27,096 --> 01:08:28,152
Sure.
772
01:08:34,841 --> 01:08:36,822
Ocean Boulevard and 25th.
773
01:09:43,996 --> 01:09:46,490
Who's there? Who is it?
-Eddie.
774
01:09:47,355 --> 01:09:48,910
Eddie Riccardi.
775
01:09:49,277 --> 01:09:52,886
Oh, Eddie boy. Every cop in the
city is out gunning for you!
776
01:09:53,350 --> 01:09:55,403
Maybe you don't care if you live...
777
01:09:55,711 --> 01:09:57,604
I got a few more years left!
778
01:09:57,839 --> 01:09:59,526
Open the door, Petey.
779
01:10:00,083 --> 01:10:01,799
You're dead if you don't.
780
01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:04,769
All right, Eddie.
781
01:10:12,804 --> 01:10:15,914
You didn't think I'd leave you out
there in the cold, did you Eddie?
782
01:10:16,545 --> 01:10:20,550
Five years, no see! But, you sure got
a hot fire burning under you, huh?
783
01:10:21,019 --> 01:10:22,105
Yeah.
784
01:10:24,891 --> 01:10:26,900
You need a pal, a friend.
785
01:10:30,025 --> 01:10:32,240
Sure, I need a friend, Petey.
786
01:10:32,483 --> 01:10:36,263
Look, old friend... Will you...will
you put that mouthpiece away?
787
01:10:36,323 --> 01:10:39,153
Somehow I...I still believe they go off!
788
01:10:39,926 --> 01:10:42,669
And, Samson my cat, you remember my cat?
789
01:10:44,180 --> 01:10:46,439
He's not feeling too good again.
790
01:10:46,949 --> 01:10:49,545
You stay careful and
nothing will happen.
791
01:10:49,605 --> 01:10:53,110
Oh sure. Sure, Eddie. You're
talking to Petey, remember?
792
01:10:53,340 --> 01:10:55,746
Any objections to my moving in with you?
793
01:10:56,025 --> 01:10:58,416
I'll be gone, tomorrow or the next day.
794
01:10:58,476 --> 01:11:01,771
Oh, me? Turn away practically,
my own flesh and blood?
795
01:11:03,341 --> 01:11:04,822
Relax, Eddie.
796
01:11:08,491 --> 01:11:11,308
There you are, Eddie. Nothing's
too good for you.
797
01:11:12,355 --> 01:11:16,154
How about some food, Petey?
I haven't eaten all night.
798
01:11:16,536 --> 01:11:18,370
You haven't changed a bit.
799
01:11:18,590 --> 01:11:20,086
Always hungry!
800
01:11:20,146 --> 01:11:22,022
Still tied up with Vince?
801
01:11:24,002 --> 01:11:27,670
I do a little private eyeing on the side.
A job here, a job there.
802
01:11:28,007 --> 01:11:29,284
Nothing big.
803
01:11:31,150 --> 01:11:32,705
I'll telephone.
804
01:11:43,749 --> 01:11:47,358
Hello, friend? Petey! I got
a special customer.
805
01:11:47,828 --> 01:11:49,852
Yeah. Yeah, an old one.
806
01:11:50,881 --> 01:11:54,094
How about sending something over?
He's tired and hungry.
807
01:11:54,813 --> 01:11:56,778
A pot of coffee and a sandwich.
808
01:11:56,969 --> 01:11:58,011
Turkey.
809
01:11:58,266 --> 01:11:59,352
Tongue
810
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:01,684
Egg salad combination.
811
01:12:02,638 --> 01:12:04,442
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
812
01:12:05,543 --> 01:12:06,863
You got it.
813
01:12:12,752 --> 01:12:16,068
You see, Eddie? Everything's
just like old times.
814
01:12:16,655 --> 01:12:18,474
If you say so, Petey.
815
01:12:20,114 --> 01:12:21,948
I'm gettin' kinda sleepy.
816
01:12:22,271 --> 01:12:25,308
You just make yourself at home,
food will be along pretty soon.
817
01:12:25,368 --> 01:12:28,183
Vince has gotten to be a big
man the last five years.
818
01:12:28,675 --> 01:12:31,168
I'm really gettin' pretty tired, friend.
819
01:12:31,228 --> 01:12:33,457
Why don't you bring me
up to date, Petey?
820
01:12:33,517 --> 01:12:35,247
I'm really awful tired, friend!
821
01:12:35,307 --> 01:12:37,501
How long will it take Vince to get here?
822
01:12:37,971 --> 01:12:40,861
Eddie...Eddie, you...you embarrass me.
823
01:12:41,135 --> 01:12:43,834
I'll kill you if you don't give
it to me straight, Petey!
824
01:12:43,894 --> 01:12:47,047
Eddie...Eddie, don't talk like that.
Samson's sick!
825
01:12:47,543 --> 01:12:50,403
I'm telling you, Eddie!
-What are you telling me? How long?
826
01:12:50,463 --> 01:12:53,557
Five minutes? Ten? Fifteen minutes?
Twenty minutes?
827
01:12:54,096 --> 01:12:57,015
About...about fifteen minutes, Eddie.
828
01:12:57,323 --> 01:13:00,902
Vince puts you on the spot!
He's that way with all the boys!
829
01:13:01,162 --> 01:13:04,781
Blow Eddie! Take me with you.
You and me was always friends!
830
01:13:04,841 --> 01:13:08,273
You just stay in front of me and keep your
mouth shut and you won't get into trouble.
831
01:13:08,333 --> 01:13:11,265
Sure, Eddie! You got nothing
to worry about from me.
832
01:13:11,325 --> 01:13:14,361
Just stay my friend, Petey.
-Yeah, Eddie.
833
01:13:27,837 --> 01:13:29,935
You're retired, you can go home now.
834
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:32,601
Your friend want a ride?
-Not tonight.
835
01:13:34,995 --> 01:13:36,151
$2.80
836
01:13:36,711 --> 01:13:39,616
This will get you a thousand.
Come on, Petey.
837
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,005
Take care of Petey.
838
01:15:45,187 --> 01:15:46,434
Eddie!
839
01:15:46,625 --> 01:15:48,165
Let's get out of here!
840
01:15:49,661 --> 01:15:51,158
Go ahead, Petey.
841
01:15:51,610 --> 01:15:52,974
Thanks, Eddie.
842
01:15:54,148 --> 01:15:55,615
They're coming!
843
01:18:02,988 --> 01:18:04,191
Eddie.
844
01:18:04,792 --> 01:18:06,274
Can you hear me?
845
01:18:09,079 --> 01:18:10,898
We can make a break.
846
01:18:11,558 --> 01:18:13,319
Cover for each other.
847
01:18:14,096 --> 01:18:15,739
I got a place.
848
01:18:17,148 --> 01:18:18,820
You and me, Eddie.
849
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,342
We'll start up again.
850
01:18:22,914 --> 01:18:25,056
Just like old times.
851
01:18:30,072 --> 01:18:31,671
I got money, Eddie.
852
01:18:32,992 --> 01:18:34,327
Big money!
853
01:18:37,521 --> 01:18:39,355
Samson! Samson!
854
01:18:39,986 --> 01:18:41,159
Samson!
855
01:18:43,096 --> 01:18:44,841
Petey! Come back!
856
01:18:46,807 --> 01:18:47,908
Samson.
857
01:18:48,318 --> 01:18:50,446
Samson, baby. Samson.
858
01:19:47,773 --> 01:19:50,091
Riccardi! Alexander!
859
01:19:50,292 --> 01:19:53,813
We'll give you three minutes to come out.
We're gonna start counting.
860
01:19:54,135 --> 01:19:57,920
At the end of three minutes if you're
not out, we're coming to get you!
861
01:19:58,429 --> 01:20:00,600
This is your last chance, Eddie.
862
01:20:01,862 --> 01:20:04,121
There's just you and me left now.
863
01:20:04,181 --> 01:20:05,676
No deal, Vince.
864
01:20:06,455 --> 01:20:08,538
I know you killed Joe Williams.
865
01:20:08,978 --> 01:20:10,357
Okay...
866
01:20:11,516 --> 01:20:13,071
No deals.
867
01:21:51,795 --> 01:21:54,993
We want you, Riccardi..
Alive, Alexander!
868
01:21:55,595 --> 01:21:58,646
If you're in there and not wounded,
bring Riccardi out.
869
01:21:59,653 --> 01:22:03,761
You, Riccardi! If you're alone, come
out with your hands in the air!
870
01:22:06,712 --> 01:22:09,176
Here's when you and I part company.
871
01:22:09,396 --> 01:22:12,081
You're gonna get paid off in full.
872
01:22:41,345 --> 01:22:43,574
Thanks for bringing him out, Vince.
873
01:22:43,853 --> 01:22:47,169
Now, drop your gun.
I said drop your gun, Vince!
874
01:22:49,233 --> 01:22:51,932
Eddie will take what I
got first, Anderson!
875
01:22:54,015 --> 01:22:56,568
All police officers hold your fire!
876
01:22:57,552 --> 01:22:59,532
Don't be crazy, Alexander.
877
01:22:59,899 --> 01:23:02,774
There have been enough people killed.
Give yourself up.
878
01:23:02,834 --> 01:23:04,491
No bargains, Anderson!
879
01:23:04,551 --> 01:23:06,487
You want Riccardi alive...
880
01:23:06,547 --> 01:23:07,866
I want out!
881
01:23:07,926 --> 01:23:10,682
What guarantee have I got that
you won't kill Riccardi?
882
01:23:10,742 --> 01:23:13,250
You don't!
-Be sensible, Alexander.
883
01:23:13,979 --> 01:23:16,854
If we let you out now,
we'll get you later.
884
01:23:17,089 --> 01:23:19,040
You'll be dead before morning.
885
01:23:19,245 --> 01:23:21,930
You got 30 seconds to make
up your mind, Anderson!
886
01:23:22,688 --> 01:23:24,053
I go...
887
01:23:24,361 --> 01:23:26,415
or Riccardi gets it in the back!
888
01:23:29,595 --> 01:23:31,388
Sat down, Eddie! Don't move!
889
01:24:05,464 --> 01:24:06,711
Is he dead?
890
01:24:06,771 --> 01:24:09,234
He will be if we don't get
him to a hospital.
891
01:24:15,716 --> 01:24:19,090
That taxi driver must have really
gotten to you in a hurry.
892
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,980
He did, asking for a $1000 reward.
893
01:24:22,337 --> 01:24:26,826
And all the questions you want to ask...
I called Dr Kemble from San Francisco.
894
01:24:27,149 --> 01:24:31,242
We knew Vince killed Jow Williams,
we found his blood on Joe's clothing.
895
01:24:31,604 --> 01:24:34,435
It matched up with our
lab files, yours didn't.
896
01:24:34,740 --> 01:24:37,351
And, Hazel told us the truth about Coke.
897
01:24:37,747 --> 01:24:41,254
Now, just get well. We'll finish
our business later.
898
01:24:42,217 --> 01:24:43,391
Nina...
899
01:24:43,451 --> 01:24:45,782
She's fine...in the waiting room.
900
01:25:05,063 --> 01:25:08,173
You shouldn't kiss a guy like
that when he's sick in bed.
901
01:25:10,205 --> 01:25:14,254
Well, I've been waiting outside all the
time. They wouldn't tell me anything.
902
01:25:14,314 --> 01:25:15,970
I was afraid...
903
01:25:17,151 --> 01:25:18,647
It's all right.
904
01:25:19,674 --> 01:25:21,170
We'll go away.
905
01:25:21,230 --> 01:25:24,222
We'll find that...crazy world of yours.
906
01:25:25,698 --> 01:25:27,151
Sure.
907
01:25:30,408 --> 01:25:32,373
There's only one thing...
908
01:25:33,675 --> 01:25:35,494
You'll always be...
909
01:25:35,758 --> 01:25:37,298
Eddie Rice.
910
01:25:38,853 --> 01:25:40,540
For the rest of my life.
911
01:25:40,990 --> 01:25:43,059
I have the doc's word for him.
912
01:25:44,673 --> 01:25:46,110
Come here.

After sustaining a head wound in combat, decorated World War II veteran Eddie Rice (John Payne) is treated at a San Francisco military hospital for a permanent form of amnesia. This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.
Rice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely.

1
00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556
This is the Letterman General Hosiptal
at San Francisco, California.
2
00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219
For those outside these gates the
war is over, a thing of the past.
3
00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888
For those behind these gates there's a
grim, hard, bitter fight still going on.
4
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518
Take one case, the case
of Eddie Rice, age 33.
5
00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206
Enlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.
Holder of the Silver Star, but today...
6
00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026
A name and date number, a medical file.
For five years a chart on a hospital bed.
7
00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340
A victim of amnesia.
A mind with a blocked out past.
8
00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127
Where were you born, Eddie?
Who are your parents?
9
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912
Any brothers? Sisters?
10
00:01:54,277 --> 00:01:58,775
Where did you go to school?
What's your trade? Profession?
11
00:01:59,433 --> 00:02:01,748
Are you rich?
Poor?
12
00:02:02,051 --> 00:02:03,689
Got a girl?
13
00:02:03,915 --> 00:02:05,289
Married?
14
00:02:05,349 --> 00:02:06,869
I don't know.
15
00:02:07,378 --> 00:02:09,015
I don't know!
16
00:02:09,824 --> 00:02:11,537
I can't remember.
17
00:02:12,444 --> 00:02:14,571
I just can't remember, doctor.
18
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:30,922
You had me open. What did you quit for?
-We did the best we could, Eddie.
19
00:02:31,218 --> 00:02:33,439
It'll just have to stay there.
20
00:02:34,606 --> 00:02:38,483
Is that final?
-Unless you want your name on a headstone.
21
00:02:38,543 --> 00:02:43,592
That shrapnel's too deep in your brain.
Scar tissue has grown all around it.
22
00:02:43,652 --> 00:02:46,980
Believe me, we tried.
-Yeah, I guess you did.
23
00:02:48,391 --> 00:02:52,551
Where do I go from here?
-Eddie, there are two kinds of amnesia:
24
00:02:52,611 --> 00:02:54,895
psychological and organic.
25
00:02:55,178 --> 00:03:00,240
The psychological form is temporary, but
it can be cured through psychotherapy.
26
00:03:01,016 --> 00:03:03,876
Yours is organic, it's permanent.
27
00:03:04,347 --> 00:03:07,772
That piece of steel in your brain
has blocked out your memory.
28
00:03:07,832 --> 00:03:10,863
Which doesn't leave me much
of a future, does it?
29
00:03:10,923 --> 00:03:15,071
Of course it does, physically
you're normal and healthy.
30
00:03:15,131 --> 00:03:17,771
You've received the maximum
medical benefits
31
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:22,559
You've completed training courses that make
you fit to hold down a job and face life.
32
00:03:23,499 --> 00:03:26,540
With no address, no next
of kin, nothing.
33
00:03:27,489 --> 00:03:29,567
Enlisted from Los Angeles...
34
00:03:29,627 --> 00:03:32,397
Intelligence ran that down
for us, remember?
35
00:03:32,867 --> 00:03:35,818
Oh sure, there were a lot of
people named Rice there...
36
00:03:36,026 --> 00:03:37,682
but not this Eddie Rice.
37
00:03:37,742 --> 00:03:41,777
But, Army Intelligence didn't mow
Los Angeles lawns as a kid, Eddie.
38
00:03:41,837 --> 00:03:44,292
They didn't trade at the corner market.
39
00:03:44,352 --> 00:03:48,775
They didn't work with people in a factory,
in an office, as you might have done.
40
00:03:48,986 --> 00:03:50,136
Now...
41
00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:54,081
If you went down there...and ran
into somebody who knew you,
42
00:03:54,141 --> 00:03:55,918
just one person...
43
00:03:56,384 --> 00:03:57,694
Yes...
44
00:03:58,992 --> 00:04:01,702
If I ran into just one person
who knew me.
45
00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:03,689
One guy...
46
00:04:04,785 --> 00:04:07,149
Who would come up to me and say:
47
00:04:07,616 --> 00:04:08,775
"Eddie."
48
00:04:08,986 --> 00:04:10,491
"Eddie Rice."
49
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:12,253
"How have you been?"
50
00:04:12,581 --> 00:04:14,132
"Where have you been?"
51
00:04:14,192 --> 00:04:15,577
That's it, Eddie.
52
00:04:15,637 --> 00:04:18,766
And then, they'd tell me about
someone else I used to know.
53
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:21,626
And, I'd meet somebody else.
54
00:04:22,635 --> 00:04:24,141
And another...
55
00:04:25,342 --> 00:04:26,908
And another...
56
00:04:57,774 --> 00:05:00,996
<i>Sure, it scares you to go out into
a world you don't remember...</i>
57
00:05:01,484 --> 00:05:02,959
<i>but you're here now.</i>
58
00:05:03,742 --> 00:05:05,473
<i>It'll be a new life.</i>
59
00:05:05,805 --> 00:05:07,295
<i>A new start.</i>
60
00:05:08,231 --> 00:05:10,189
<i>Find yourself a place to live.</i>
61
00:05:10,957 --> 00:05:12,613
<i>Get yourself a job.</i>
62
00:05:13,290 --> 00:05:14,540
<i>Get going.</i>
63
00:05:15,353 --> 00:05:16,919
<i>Get going, Eddie!</i>
64
00:05:19,198 --> 00:05:20,357
Eddie!
65
00:05:20,417 --> 00:05:22,736
You know, it's a small world, Eddie.
66
00:05:22,796 --> 00:05:25,266
We came down here to pick
up a little of one thing,
67
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:28,650
and we ran into a little of another!
-A lot of us thought you were dead.
68
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:32,851
Yes, and...those that didn't hoped you
were. What are you doing in town?
69
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,642
I'm just in from San Francisco.
70
00:05:36,702 --> 00:05:40,060
I didn't ask you that.
-He asked you what you were doing in town.
71
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,354
I cam here to look up some...people.
72
00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:45,989
Funny, I...I had a feeling that was it.
73
00:05:46,049 --> 00:05:48,443
Anderson one of them?
-Anderson?
74
00:05:49,719 --> 00:05:50,698
Maybe.
75
00:05:50,758 --> 00:05:54,251
I think you're lying, Eddie. I don't think you
were gonna look up Anderson at all.
76
00:05:54,311 --> 00:05:57,458
Barrett, do you think he was gonna
look up Anderson? -No, Joe.
77
00:05:57,699 --> 00:06:00,108
Not Anderson.
-I'll tell you what...
78
00:06:00,168 --> 00:06:02,737
I got a car and nothing
to do for a while...
79
00:06:02,797 --> 00:06:05,478
Let's go see Anderson together.
Any objections?
80
00:06:07,616 --> 00:06:09,016
No objections.
81
00:06:09,076 --> 00:06:11,256
Stick around, Kelly may still show.
82
00:06:11,452 --> 00:06:12,506
Let's go.
83
00:06:35,122 --> 00:06:37,667
'Honorable discharge of Edward Rice.'
84
00:06:41,972 --> 00:06:43,568
What's the gimmick?
85
00:06:44,110 --> 00:06:46,399
If you'd put away your blackjacks
long enough
86
00:06:46,459 --> 00:06:48,431
maybe I could get it through
your heads that...
87
00:06:48,491 --> 00:06:50,714
I don't know what you're talking about.
88
00:06:50,774 --> 00:06:52,912
You got yourself a sense
of humor, Eddie.
89
00:06:52,972 --> 00:06:56,010
You think you come back here with
a dumb look and a Silver Star...
90
00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:58,958
That changes a no good heel?
-But, I'm trying to tell you that...
91
00:06:59,018 --> 00:07:01,382
You don't have to tell us
anything about yourself.
92
00:07:01,442 --> 00:07:03,881
We got it all down in black and white.
93
00:07:06,019 --> 00:07:07,630
Read it, Riccardi.
94
00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:09,313
We didn't dream it up.
95
00:07:09,795 --> 00:07:12,355
Possession of a weapon
with intent to kill.
96
00:07:12,882 --> 00:07:14,553
Suspicion of murder.
97
00:07:17,184 --> 00:07:18,566
<i>Riccardi...</i>
98
00:07:19,274 --> 00:07:20,960
<i>Eddie Riccardi.</i>
99
00:07:21,638 --> 00:07:25,236
<i>That's not me, it can't be.
It only looks like me!</i>
100
00:07:26,348 --> 00:07:29,103
<i>I better get out of here!
I've got to get out!</i>
101
00:07:29,163 --> 00:07:33,093
Five years ago we hustled you out of town,
for good. Now what are you here for?
102
00:07:34,253 --> 00:07:35,939
<i>You've got to play ball.</i>
103
00:07:35,999 --> 00:07:39,153
<i>You need time. You need more
time to find out about yourself.</i>
104
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,894
Riccardi's just playing dumb, Captain.
105
00:07:42,556 --> 00:07:44,122
Put him in the lockup.
106
00:07:44,498 --> 00:07:47,085
I'm finding about these...
discharge papers.
107
00:07:47,145 --> 00:07:49,358
If they're phonies, we'll pin a
real one on him.
108
00:07:49,418 --> 00:07:50,999
Just a minute, Lieutenant.
109
00:07:52,426 --> 00:07:56,627
I guess, maybe I didn't want the army
to know about Eddie...Riccardi.
110
00:07:57,317 --> 00:08:00,133
The only friends I have
know me as Eddie Rice.
111
00:08:00,916 --> 00:08:02,813
I'd like to keep it that way.
112
00:08:03,219 --> 00:08:05,945
That's probably the first honest
thing you've ever said.
113
00:08:06,005 --> 00:08:07,537
Pick up your things.
114
00:08:10,967 --> 00:08:14,008
Be Eddie Rice in some other
town, but not here.
115
00:08:14,068 --> 00:08:18,540
Now, we can't hold you, but...you step
out of line once and we step on you.
116
00:08:26,034 --> 00:08:28,278
Notice anything different
about him, Williams?
117
00:08:28,338 --> 00:08:31,138
Nothing! If Riccardi stays in town
there's gonna be trouble.
118
00:08:31,198 --> 00:08:34,210
I don't know. He had a strange
look about him.
119
00:08:34,667 --> 00:08:37,934
Send to Washington for a complete
report on Edward Rice.
120
00:08:37,994 --> 00:08:40,870
That Silver Star, you really
do something to get one.
121
00:08:40,930 --> 00:08:43,686
Yeah, buy it in a pawn
shop for two bits.
122
00:09:01,270 --> 00:09:04,944
Nina, my sweet!
My beautiful, lovely...
123
00:09:05,004 --> 00:09:07,609
All right, Nick! Let's keep
it all business.
124
00:09:10,063 --> 00:09:13,240
Who is it this time?
-Petey. Suspicion of robbery.
125
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:16,251
Get him out before they start
shifting him around. -Petey?
126
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:17,588
Him?
127
00:09:17,648 --> 00:09:19,726
He wouldn't steal his own shadow.
128
00:09:19,786 --> 00:09:22,056
That was William's gag to get
him out of the way.
129
00:09:22,116 --> 00:09:25,670
I wouldn't know. Bail's $1000.
-Inflation!
130
00:09:25,730 --> 00:09:27,823
That's the whole trouble these days.
131
00:09:28,847 --> 00:09:30,714
Alexander, he unhappy?
132
00:09:31,252 --> 00:09:34,188
Nick. Keep your mind on your business.
133
00:09:34,248 --> 00:09:36,233
Let Vince worry about his, huh?
134
00:09:36,293 --> 00:09:39,259
Sure, beautiful Sure.
Forget I mentioned it.
135
00:09:53,907 --> 00:09:55,970
Take my advice, you leave town.
136
00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:57,837
I've got things to do.
137
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,125
Adios, boy! You're on your own.
138
00:10:04,466 --> 00:10:05,941
Kelly never showed.
139
00:10:06,001 --> 00:10:07,071
Odd.
140
00:10:07,131 --> 00:10:08,606
We'll hear from him.
141
00:10:18,132 --> 00:10:20,074
One of the usual fronts?
142
00:10:21,098 --> 00:10:24,064
You have a lot of Jane Does, Nick.
Use one of them.
143
00:10:26,732 --> 00:10:28,328
Of course, there's a big difference
144
00:10:28,388 --> 00:10:30,617
between the Florida oranges
and the California oranges.
145
00:10:30,677 --> 00:10:33,131
At least that's what the Chamber
of Commerce in Florida says.
146
00:10:33,191 --> 00:10:35,661
And the Chamber of Commerce
in California says...
147
00:10:35,872 --> 00:10:37,874
Orange juice, please.
-Yes, ma'am.
148
00:10:41,153 --> 00:10:42,388
Eddie.
149
00:10:44,691 --> 00:10:47,281
I thought it was you from
across the street.
150
00:10:48,856 --> 00:10:49,940
Hello.
151
00:10:51,204 --> 00:10:53,794
Is that the only thing
you've got to say?
152
00:10:54,110 --> 00:10:56,640
Well, there's a lot more
I could say, but...
153
00:10:57,107 --> 00:10:58,311
but you...
154
00:10:59,299 --> 00:11:00,609
Let's see...
155
00:11:01,814 --> 00:11:03,425
Nacy Morgan?
156
00:11:03,711 --> 00:11:05,051
Nora Murphy?
157
00:11:05,292 --> 00:11:09,176
No, you don't look like Nora Murphy.
-What'd you come back for, Eddie?
158
00:11:10,216 --> 00:11:12,610
A man has a right to come
home, hasn't he?
159
00:11:14,552 --> 00:11:17,699
My car is across the street,
I'll take you there.
160
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:18,994
Sure!
161
00:11:19,175 --> 00:11:20,228
Thanks.
162
00:11:45,318 --> 00:11:47,089
Vince know you're back?
163
00:11:47,149 --> 00:11:48,360
Vince?
164
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,025
Should he?
165
00:11:51,762 --> 00:11:53,419
You oughta know.
166
00:12:02,797 --> 00:12:04,499
Thanks for the lift.
167
00:12:07,503 --> 00:12:08,828
Coming in?
168
00:12:09,264 --> 00:12:11,447
Who said this was the end of the road?
169
00:12:12,833 --> 00:12:15,091
Who's complaining? Not me.
170
00:12:40,205 --> 00:12:41,530
Checking in?
171
00:12:41,771 --> 00:12:42,870
Long?
172
00:12:44,466 --> 00:12:45,896
I don't know yet.
173
00:12:46,739 --> 00:12:48,019
Alone?
174
00:12:48,648 --> 00:12:49,672
Yes.
175
00:12:52,517 --> 00:12:55,393
Edward Rice...San Francisco.
176
00:12:58,702 --> 00:13:00,042
304.
177
00:13:03,234 --> 00:13:06,757
I'll throw the stuff in the room and
be right back. -If you say so.
178
00:13:29,744 --> 00:13:32,665
Hello? hello, this is Nina.
I want to talk to Vince.
179
00:13:32,725 --> 00:13:33,885
He's busy.
180
00:13:33,945 --> 00:13:36,203
Not too busy for what
I've got to tell him.
181
00:13:36,263 --> 00:13:37,479
<i>He's not here.</i>
182
00:13:37,539 --> 00:13:41,379
Look, let's not keep where he is a
secret it might upset your whole future.
183
00:13:41,439 --> 00:13:42,945
Put me through to him!
184
00:13:55,033 --> 00:13:56,719
You talk too much.
185
00:13:57,397 --> 00:13:59,189
Another treatment, Kelly?
186
00:14:00,453 --> 00:14:01,603
Any...
187
00:14:02,265 --> 00:14:04,750
Any second...breaks, Vince?
188
00:14:06,993 --> 00:14:09,176
I'm easy to do business with.
189
00:14:10,165 --> 00:14:11,520
If you talk...
190
00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:12,830
you live.
191
00:14:14,034 --> 00:14:16,865
All i want to hear is your
angle with Joe Williams.
192
00:14:19,271 --> 00:14:22,463
Give him a cigarette, Danny.
It'll relax him.
193
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:30,609
I'm...trusting you, Vince.
194
00:14:30,834 --> 00:14:32,792
Sure. Sure, Kelly.
195
00:14:33,474 --> 00:14:35,612
I told you we'd turn you loose.
196
00:14:35,672 --> 00:14:37,388
You understand how I...
197
00:14:37,569 --> 00:14:40,942
How a guy feels when he's been
kicked out of the organization?
198
00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:43,633
I know...
199
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:47,533
I shouldn't of been a sucker and
told Williams about the...
200
00:14:48,253 --> 00:14:50,828
...about the silver dollar.
-Forget that.
201
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,915
What did you tell him about this?
-Nothing!
202
00:14:56,455 --> 00:14:58,201
Nothing much, really.
203
00:14:59,044 --> 00:15:01,755
Vince!
-What did you tell him, Kelly?
204
00:15:01,815 --> 00:15:03,185
Really, Vince...
205
00:15:03,381 --> 00:15:04,931
Nothing important.
206
00:15:05,688 --> 00:15:06,757
Just...
207
00:15:07,178 --> 00:15:08,970
a little of this and...
208
00:15:09,527 --> 00:15:11,304
that about the...
209
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,532
about the slot machines and...
210
00:15:14,315 --> 00:15:16,333
and the take. But, I...
211
00:15:16,787 --> 00:15:18,564
I phonied the figures.
212
00:15:19,403 --> 00:15:22,550
Honest I did.
-These figures aren't phoney.
213
00:15:22,836 --> 00:15:24,447
Where'd you get 'em?
214
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,684
Snatched them out of your safe, Vince.
215
00:15:31,219 --> 00:15:33,192
Williams is waiting for 'em.
216
00:15:33,535 --> 00:15:37,359
He was going to bundle me out of town,
bring me back for the trial.
217
00:15:38,696 --> 00:15:42,083
But, I was gonna duck.
They never would of found me.
218
00:15:44,568 --> 00:15:46,480
That's the truth, Vince!
219
00:15:54,771 --> 00:15:56,021
Hello.
220
00:15:56,788 --> 00:15:58,264
Hello, Nina.
221
00:16:02,956 --> 00:16:05,242
You sure it's him?
-I was with him!
222
00:16:05,302 --> 00:16:08,524
First I saw him outside police
headquarters talking to Joe Williams,
223
00:16:08,584 --> 00:16:10,466
then I drove him to the Cortez.
224
00:16:10,689 --> 00:16:14,362
He cked in under the name
of Eddie Rice, room 304.
225
00:16:14,422 --> 00:16:15,552
Thanks.
226
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:37,164
You still want to take that trip, Kelly?
227
00:16:39,317 --> 00:16:41,560
You don't have to worry about me, Vince.
228
00:16:42,019 --> 00:16:43,028
Don.
229
00:16:44,194 --> 00:16:45,820
Big mouth Kelly.
230
00:16:46,257 --> 00:16:48,832
You think what he's got
may be contagious?
231
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:50,563
Very...catchy.
232
00:16:51,562 --> 00:16:54,648
What's your opinion, Don?
-Very, definitely.
233
00:16:56,621 --> 00:16:58,283
What can I do?
234
00:16:59,322 --> 00:17:01,686
The consultation's in agreement.
235
00:17:04,595 --> 00:17:05,769
Kelly!
236
00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:07,380
You're dead!
237
00:17:09,097 --> 00:17:10,527
Oh, and Kelly...
238
00:17:10,774 --> 00:17:14,749
When you get to where you're going,
have 'em give you a nice, even burn.
239
00:17:14,809 --> 00:17:17,579
Don't let them just fry you on one side.
240
00:18:01,054 --> 00:18:05,210
I'm sorry to bother you again, but..
has there been any sign of the girl yet?
241
00:18:07,876 --> 00:18:09,051
Thanks.
242
00:18:40,394 --> 00:18:42,743
Don't you believe in knocking on doors?
243
00:18:43,857 --> 00:18:45,814
Who are you? What do you want?
244
00:19:00,538 --> 00:19:02,661
So, that's where you've been hold up...
245
00:19:02,932 --> 00:19:04,498
Eddie Rice!
246
00:19:05,181 --> 00:19:08,990
No wonder I couldn't get a line on you.
Are you back sightseeing?
247
00:19:09,378 --> 00:19:10,854
Mr Rice?
248
00:19:13,052 --> 00:19:15,326
This supposed to be a free country?
249
00:19:15,684 --> 00:19:17,250
Free town?
250
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:18,951
Open to anyone?
251
00:19:19,011 --> 00:19:20,366
Not with me in it.
252
00:19:20,635 --> 00:19:23,240
You didn't waste much time
picking up with the cops.
253
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:27,395
Why should it worry you about
me talking to Williams?
254
00:19:27,455 --> 00:19:29,274
You've got me confused, Eddie.
255
00:19:29,771 --> 00:19:33,460
Only a sucker would walk back in
town after the deal you pulled.
256
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,979
Some things a fella has to...
257
00:19:37,401 --> 00:19:39,102
find out for himself.
258
00:19:40,096 --> 00:19:41,948
Not about you and me.
259
00:19:50,768 --> 00:19:53,283
I've been saving this for five years.
260
00:19:54,021 --> 00:19:57,378
Everyone in life has his bible,
this is mine.
261
00:19:58,978 --> 00:20:03,661
I take it out and read it every day. I read
it to remind me of a guy I grew up with.
262
00:20:03,917 --> 00:20:05,648
Got shoved around with.
263
00:20:06,277 --> 00:20:08,566
We used to take a lot of raps together.
264
00:20:09,439 --> 00:20:13,143
Some people would call a guy
like that a...a loyal friend.
265
00:20:13,968 --> 00:20:15,353
He was.
266
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:22,050
Until he turned into a dirty stool pigeon,
and let me take the rap for him!
267
00:20:38,866 --> 00:20:40,070
Eddie...
268
00:20:41,380 --> 00:20:42,811
Riccardi?
269
00:20:43,025 --> 00:20:47,105
My good friend who sold me out
to a cop named Joe Williams!
270
00:20:58,268 --> 00:21:00,541
Don't mess up his face too much.
271
00:21:03,876 --> 00:21:05,909
I ought to kill you, Eddie.
272
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:08,709
But, you're not worth taking
another rap for!
273
00:21:08,769 --> 00:21:11,058
In 24 hours...disappear!
274
00:21:11,935 --> 00:21:15,006
Otherwise, I might be tempted
to change my mind!
275
00:21:15,624 --> 00:21:17,205
Give him some air!
276
00:22:11,865 --> 00:22:14,153
<i>Why didn't the girl come back?</i>
277
00:22:15,523 --> 00:22:17,812
<i>What did she know about me?</i>
278
00:22:18,730 --> 00:22:20,808
<i>Why did she bring me here?</i>
279
00:22:21,847 --> 00:22:23,111
<i>Vince...</i>
280
00:22:24,060 --> 00:22:26,123
<i>Why didn't Vince kill me?</i>
281
00:22:27,402 --> 00:22:29,450
<i>Maybe I deserved it.</i>
282
00:22:30,625 --> 00:22:33,140
<i>Maybe Dr Kemble ought to know?</i>
283
00:22:34,224 --> 00:22:36,051
<i>I better tell him.</i>
284
00:22:37,226 --> 00:22:39,033
<i>I better call him.</i>
285
00:22:40,328 --> 00:22:41,908
<i>I better...</i>
286
00:22:44,659 --> 00:22:45,879
Hello.
287
00:22:46,391 --> 00:22:50,456
I want to put through a call, person
to person. Dr Kemble...
288
00:22:50,652 --> 00:22:53,392
Letterman Genral Hospital,
San Francisco.
289
00:22:54,435 --> 00:22:56,091
K-E-M-B-L-E
290
00:22:57,411 --> 00:22:58,736
Thank you.
291
00:23:14,170 --> 00:23:15,961
Hello, Dr Kemble?
292
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,812
When do you expect him back?
293
00:23:19,219 --> 00:23:20,920
Not till tomorrow?
294
00:23:22,121 --> 00:23:24,500
Never mind, I'll see him personally.
295
00:24:15,503 --> 00:24:18,780
Forget about Union Station.
Take me to 7 Braxton Avenue.
296
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:30,476
Wait for me.
297
00:24:51,762 --> 00:24:53,961
Thanks a lot Lou, for driving me home.
298
00:24:54,021 --> 00:24:57,393
Just a minute, darling.
I'll walk to the door with you.
299
00:24:58,990 --> 00:25:02,378
It's early, Nina. A little drink for
a nightcap won't hurt you.
300
00:25:02,589 --> 00:25:04,456
That's what you think.
301
00:25:04,516 --> 00:25:07,825
You could make me forget that
thousand I dropped tonight, Nina.
302
00:25:07,885 --> 00:25:11,182
I can forget a lot of things, Lou.
You, for instance.
303
00:25:11,242 --> 00:25:13,633
Good night.
-Just a minute, baby.
304
00:25:13,693 --> 00:25:16,328
I'd like a little receipt
for that grand.
305
00:25:19,246 --> 00:25:20,827
That's better.
306
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:25,539
That's your receipt. Good night.
307
00:25:45,117 --> 00:25:46,758
Now listen...
308
00:25:50,045 --> 00:25:51,461
Go ahead.
309
00:25:51,521 --> 00:25:53,237
Take a good look.
310
00:25:53,629 --> 00:25:58,055
If you came to tell me how Vince welcomed
you back, you've said it. So, goodbye!
311
00:25:58,673 --> 00:26:02,272
I want to know what you had
to do with me...in my life.
312
00:26:04,596 --> 00:26:06,057
And this.
313
00:26:10,473 --> 00:26:12,160
December the 24th,
314
00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:13,801
1943.
315
00:26:14,162 --> 00:26:16,120
Ah, that was a lovely Christmas.
316
00:26:16,903 --> 00:26:19,041
One I'll never forget.
317
00:26:24,136 --> 00:26:26,380
Only one of your presents!
318
00:26:29,297 --> 00:26:33,664
Sure, I told Vince Alexander
you're back. I work for him.
319
00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:39,946
This clipping...
320
00:26:40,955 --> 00:26:45,366
Why couldn't you testify at the trial?
-Oh, no routines, I've heard them all.
321
00:26:48,454 --> 00:26:51,436
Listen to me!
I'm just out of an army hospital
322
00:26:51,496 --> 00:26:54,507
with a piece of steel in my head
and no memory to go with it.
323
00:26:54,567 --> 00:26:57,756
I'm here to find out about myself and
I'm getting answers the hard way!
324
00:26:57,816 --> 00:27:00,677
I don't know you, Vince Alexander...
325
00:27:00,737 --> 00:27:05,055
or anybody called Eddie Riccardi!
All I know is one person, Eddie Rice! Me!
326
00:27:07,178 --> 00:27:09,391
You're the last person I can turn to.
327
00:27:10,472 --> 00:27:12,263
Please believe me.
328
00:27:12,850 --> 00:27:14,115
Help me.
329
00:27:16,584 --> 00:27:19,039
That's a very touching speech.
330
00:27:21,477 --> 00:27:23,901
You lost your memory.
331
00:27:24,564 --> 00:27:28,298
You don't know why I couldn't
testify at the trial.
332
00:27:28,529 --> 00:27:32,067
You've forgotten how you used me to
make sure Vince would go to prison
333
00:27:32,127 --> 00:27:33,829
so you'd be set free.
334
00:27:33,889 --> 00:27:37,966
But, if you're back to your old tricks
again I've got sad news for you,
335
00:27:38,026 --> 00:27:40,752
I tore up your raincheck
three years ago.
336
00:27:43,494 --> 00:27:45,587
I'm not your wife anymore.
337
00:28:05,380 --> 00:28:08,090
Now to the station?
-Back to the hotel.
338
00:28:47,065 --> 00:28:49,579
You act like a cop that just
lost a conviction?
339
00:28:49,639 --> 00:28:52,877
Maybe I have, take a look at these.
Fresh out of the photo lab.
340
00:28:54,339 --> 00:28:56,808
Sharks don't talk, the
fingerprints spell Kelly.
341
00:28:56,868 --> 00:28:59,413
The Coroner said he was dead two
hours before he hit the water.
342
00:28:59,473 --> 00:29:01,807
Too bad. With the information
Kelly had for us
343
00:29:01,867 --> 00:29:04,186
we could have put Vince
away for a long stretch.
344
00:29:05,335 --> 00:29:07,066
What's eating you, Joe?
345
00:29:07,563 --> 00:29:09,295
I was a smart cop.
346
00:29:09,355 --> 00:29:12,712
I put Petey away to get him off of
Kelly's tail, and this is what happens.
347
00:29:12,772 --> 00:29:14,594
I feel like I killed Kelly.
348
00:29:14,654 --> 00:29:16,897
Riccardi...think he's tied up in it?
349
00:29:16,957 --> 00:29:19,909
Walking back into town that day
could tie him up in anything.
350
00:29:20,237 --> 00:29:22,706
Is the case my baby?
-All yours.
351
00:29:24,916 --> 00:29:26,301
Now what?
352
00:29:26,361 --> 00:29:28,936
I figure we shouldn't keep
it a secret from Vince.
353
00:29:40,844 --> 00:29:43,087
Only six days in the week now, huh?
354
00:29:43,455 --> 00:29:46,557
How do you like that, the card
must have fell out.
355
00:29:46,617 --> 00:29:48,604
It was there yesterday. Nick...
356
00:29:48,664 --> 00:29:50,125
Who's Jane Doe?
357
00:29:50,185 --> 00:29:52,817
Please, Lieutenant. I don't look
at their birth certificate.
358
00:29:52,877 --> 00:29:55,075
Lots of people don't use
their right names.
359
00:29:55,135 --> 00:29:59,002
With me, a buck is a buck.
I don't ask questions.
360
00:29:59,318 --> 00:30:02,435
Before I'm through, Nick...
you'll be answering a few.
361
00:30:08,026 --> 00:30:12,377
It's gettin' so you can't tail a guy anymore
without having the cops jump on ya.
362
00:30:12,437 --> 00:30:14,666
This town's goin' to the dogs.
363
00:30:14,981 --> 00:30:18,143
Samson and me...
-Petey! Get that cat off the desk!
364
00:30:18,776 --> 00:30:22,133
I was just saying, Samson and
me could stand a vacation.
365
00:30:22,389 --> 00:30:25,340
You want us to blow town?
-That's just what I don't want.
366
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,047
Coke will set you up, and stay quiet!
367
00:30:28,107 --> 00:30:30,667
Well, sure Vince, sure.
Anything you say.
368
00:31:05,567 --> 00:31:06,922
Hello, Danny.
369
00:31:16,370 --> 00:31:18,327
Come in. Come in, Joe.
370
00:31:18,674 --> 00:31:22,543
Pull up a chair and rest your feet.
I hear you've had a busy day.
371
00:31:26,329 --> 00:31:29,099
I figured you would.
I was saving you for last.
372
00:31:30,183 --> 00:31:31,644
Should I...
373
00:31:31,930 --> 00:31:33,993
relax or call in my lawyer?
374
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:36,698
That depends on how nervous you are.
375
00:31:36,758 --> 00:31:39,529
I was always thought nervous
guys bit their nails?
376
00:31:39,589 --> 00:31:41,095
Now, let me see...
377
00:31:41,317 --> 00:31:44,675
Nick was a little bit hazy about
who Jane Doe was.
378
00:31:44,946 --> 00:31:47,144
I thought you might be able to tell me.
379
00:31:47,336 --> 00:31:49,113
Never heard of the girl.
380
00:31:49,173 --> 00:31:50,634
Then there's Petey.
381
00:31:50,694 --> 00:31:54,654
And how certain people got know where
and just when to bail him out.
382
00:31:54,714 --> 00:31:57,014
Now...nobody knows anything.
383
00:31:57,421 --> 00:31:58,912
But, we'll find him.
384
00:31:59,273 --> 00:32:01,863
We;ve got all exits out of town plugged.
385
00:32:03,697 --> 00:32:06,483
And I got a hunch he'll
be real cooperative.
386
00:32:06,769 --> 00:32:08,063
You see...
387
00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:10,698
I don't think he knows
anything about this.
388
00:32:11,090 --> 00:32:12,249
Kelly.
389
00:32:12,798 --> 00:32:15,162
He's gone and gotten himself killed.
390
00:32:15,915 --> 00:32:17,571
Just like Kelly...
391
00:32:17,842 --> 00:32:19,920
You never know what he'll do next.
392
00:32:20,191 --> 00:32:21,983
That goes for a lot of guys.
393
00:32:22,449 --> 00:32:23,910
Take you and...
394
00:32:24,482 --> 00:32:26,529
Then again, take Eddie Riccardi...
395
00:32:26,589 --> 00:32:29,962
You boys forgive and forget,
and back in business again.
396
00:32:31,037 --> 00:32:34,485
You and Riccardi got a lot in common,
why don't you ask him?
397
00:32:34,545 --> 00:32:36,352
At the moment, you're number one.
398
00:32:36,623 --> 00:32:40,281
And, it won't be any...manslaughter
charge and out in two years.
399
00:32:41,076 --> 00:32:43,048
I put you away this time...
400
00:32:43,334 --> 00:32:44,840
it'll be for keeps.
401
00:32:47,035 --> 00:32:50,031
You got all the answers figured
out, haven't you?
402
00:32:50,091 --> 00:32:52,636
I might have, sooner than you think.
403
00:32:53,959 --> 00:32:55,479
So sorry!
404
00:33:35,693 --> 00:33:39,292
Me, I never had a complaint.
You call my old boss.
405
00:33:39,352 --> 00:33:42,115
He'll tell you my bringing in 500
a night at the gambling tables
406
00:33:42,175 --> 00:33:44,344
was a small bag of tell.
407
00:33:45,169 --> 00:33:48,993
Oh, Mr Alexander! I just came in looking
for a job and I was telling Ms Martin...
408
00:33:49,053 --> 00:33:50,378
Get rid of her.
409
00:33:51,278 --> 00:33:55,238
Vince, we need some new talent...
-Okay! Okay! Come back at eight tonight.
410
00:33:55,298 --> 00:33:58,324
She'll tell you what to do.
-Oh, gee! Thanks!
411
00:34:01,806 --> 00:34:03,899
You know Eddie's still in town?
412
00:34:05,013 --> 00:34:06,172
Yes.
413
00:34:06,353 --> 00:34:08,024
Been around to see you?
414
00:34:09,667 --> 00:34:10,796
When?
415
00:34:11,534 --> 00:34:13,266
Late last night.
416
00:34:14,184 --> 00:34:16,548
Did he tell ya I gave him
24 hours to get out?
417
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,249
No.
418
00:34:19,872 --> 00:34:22,793
Well, I changed my mind.
I want him to stay.
419
00:34:23,049 --> 00:34:25,142
I want you to make sure he does stay.
420
00:34:26,876 --> 00:34:29,827
My job's to work the tables
for you here, Vince, and...
421
00:34:30,324 --> 00:34:34,961
I don't even mind setups like the one with
Petey or...other deals like that, but...
422
00:34:36,439 --> 00:34:37,613
Vince...
423
00:34:38,336 --> 00:34:40,534
Stay out of my personal life!
424
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:42,311
Listen you...
425
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,041
When Eddie dropped you, who picked
you up and gave you your health?
426
00:34:46,101 --> 00:34:49,053
Who gave you your job?
Everything you got?
427
00:34:49,459 --> 00:34:51,206
Vince Alexander!
428
00:34:52,806 --> 00:34:54,538
I won't do it, Vince.
429
00:34:54,598 --> 00:34:55,923
Forget Eddie.
430
00:34:55,983 --> 00:34:57,639
When I get through with him.
431
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,717
But, now you're gonna meet him.
432
00:35:00,715 --> 00:35:03,440
And, I want you to make sure
he does stay in town.
433
00:35:34,220 --> 00:35:35,566
What'll it be?
434
00:35:35,626 --> 00:35:37,854
Did five years make you
forget that easily?
435
00:35:37,914 --> 00:35:41,016
I told you...in five years you
can forget a lot of things.
436
00:35:41,076 --> 00:35:43,064
Something for the lady?
-Rob Roy, please.
437
00:35:43,124 --> 00:35:44,491
The same.
438
00:35:48,131 --> 00:35:50,932
What made you change your mind
about seeing me again?
439
00:35:54,897 --> 00:35:58,210
You know, finding out I was married
to you kind of threw me.
440
00:35:58,992 --> 00:36:02,169
It was even something the boys at
the hospital used to rib me about.
441
00:36:02,564 --> 00:36:05,605
They had me fixed up with a
wife and four or five kids.
442
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:09,881
They didn't know how close the
gag came to being true.
443
00:36:11,474 --> 00:36:13,672
You still don't believe me, do you?
444
00:36:21,056 --> 00:36:25,236
Maybe this'll convince you it was Eddie
Rice that rang your doorbell last night.
445
00:36:26,537 --> 00:36:29,909
Call Dr Kemble at Letterman's
Hospital in San Francisco.
446
00:36:31,007 --> 00:36:33,025
He'll tell you the whole story.
447
00:36:38,141 --> 00:36:39,767
Tha cigarette case...
448
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,323
Doesn't it mean anything to you?
449
00:36:47,468 --> 00:36:48,868
Should it?
450
00:36:54,926 --> 00:36:57,350
Suppose I did believe you, then what?
451
00:36:59,488 --> 00:37:03,569
Then, I'd try and make you forget that
Eddie Riccardi was ever in your life.
452
00:37:04,476 --> 00:37:06,403
You think you can do that?
453
00:37:07,216 --> 00:37:08,737
Eddie Rice can.
454
00:37:20,823 --> 00:37:22,570
Eddie, leave town.
455
00:37:24,533 --> 00:37:27,228
Now you're talking like Vince.
-Maybe I was yesterday.
456
00:37:27,288 --> 00:37:30,492
Don't ask me why, but go.
-Nina, I don't frighten easily.
457
00:37:30,552 --> 00:37:33,353
You can take that message back to Vince.
Tell him I'm staying!
458
00:37:33,413 --> 00:37:36,816
That's what he wants you to do. That's
why I'm here, to keep you from leaving.
459
00:37:36,876 --> 00:37:38,740
I'd hate to disappoint him then.
460
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,895
Eddie, don't be stubborn, I know Vince.
He doesn't do anything without a reason.
461
00:37:43,964 --> 00:37:45,530
Neither do I.
462
00:37:47,802 --> 00:37:52,590
Stay then! Get yourself beaten up again,
or killed. Do anything you want.
463
00:38:35,782 --> 00:38:38,267
Riccardi.
-Very interesting.
464
00:38:47,205 --> 00:38:48,936
Scotch over water.
465
00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:53,136
Lose something, Charlie?
466
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,406
Tell Nina Martin, Eddie wants to see her.
-Eddie who?
467
00:38:59,658 --> 00:39:01,103
Just Eddie.
468
00:39:01,630 --> 00:39:03,060
Wait here.
469
00:39:11,467 --> 00:39:12,943
What'll I need?
470
00:39:13,003 --> 00:39:15,653
A thousand might bring you luck.
-A thousand?
471
00:39:15,894 --> 00:39:17,475
Give me a thousand.
472
00:39:24,925 --> 00:39:27,891
A character called Eddie's outside,
wants to see you.
473
00:39:27,951 --> 00:39:29,412
Eddie here?
474
00:39:29,788 --> 00:39:31,204
Get rid of him!
475
00:39:31,425 --> 00:39:33,668
That's not what Vince had in mind.
476
00:39:43,422 --> 00:39:44,972
All right, come on.
477
00:39:53,097 --> 00:39:54,663
6...9...12!
478
00:39:54,919 --> 00:39:56,636
All bets down.
479
00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:04,549
It's a nice layout. Vince ought to be
able to pick up some fast money.
480
00:40:04,609 --> 00:40:07,063
You're crazy to come walking in here.
481
00:40:07,123 --> 00:40:09,273
Maybe I'm just hard to convince.
482
00:40:10,477 --> 00:40:12,374
My dressing room is back there.
483
00:40:13,925 --> 00:40:16,590
I'll be back before the
wheel stops turning.
484
00:40:34,853 --> 00:40:35,973
Yeah?
485
00:40:37,478 --> 00:40:38,939
Okay, thanks.
486
00:40:43,645 --> 00:40:45,813
So, she wanted to get rid of him.
487
00:40:47,179 --> 00:40:50,040
I wonder if that dame is trying
to pull a double cross.
488
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,129
Get down to the Golden Horn and pick up
Eddie Riccardi, you'll find him with Nina.
489
00:40:55,189 --> 00:40:56,270
Just him?
490
00:40:56,571 --> 00:40:57,746
Just him.
491
00:40:58,197 --> 00:41:00,110
I'll get around to her later.
492
00:41:03,747 --> 00:41:05,569
I started to leave...
493
00:41:05,794 --> 00:41:08,309
but I kept thinking about
everything you told me.
494
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,230
If I'd of left I'd been all the
things you said I was.
495
00:41:11,727 --> 00:41:13,232
So, I'm staying.
496
00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:17,505
And, I'm taking you out of here.
497
00:41:18,498 --> 00:41:19,673
Nina.
498
00:41:21,043 --> 00:41:23,436
We could have a decent life together.
499
00:41:26,553 --> 00:41:28,465
You got it all figured out.
500
00:41:31,452 --> 00:41:36,089
Well, you're not taking me anywhere.
You pushed me into this life and I like it.
501
00:41:36,481 --> 00:41:41,374
I'm top bait around here steering nice,
fat, pigeons to the gambling table.
502
00:41:41,434 --> 00:41:46,174
I'm one of Vince's kind now and I'm keeping
my life and my job just the way they are.
503
00:41:46,234 --> 00:41:48,026
No matter what I have to do!
504
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:49,934
Come on.
505
00:41:59,090 --> 00:42:00,144
Thanks.
506
00:42:10,804 --> 00:42:13,469
Now, how about some champagne?
507
00:42:14,389 --> 00:42:17,581
Excuse me for a minute, honey.
I forgot I got to call my wife.
508
00:42:32,729 --> 00:42:35,048
Williams, Homicide.
Yeah, Barnes.
509
00:42:36,509 --> 00:42:37,653
Yeah!
510
00:42:38,586 --> 00:42:39,881
Thanks a lot!
511
00:42:40,377 --> 00:42:41,898
What's exciting?
512
00:42:50,385 --> 00:42:54,646
I said, what's exciting? Or, don't
you want to wake me up?
513
00:42:55,138 --> 00:42:59,113
Barnes casing the Golden Horn for vice
intel, tells me Riccardi just walked in.
514
00:42:59,805 --> 00:43:01,266
Trouble maybe?
515
00:43:01,717 --> 00:43:04,924
I could think of plenty of reasons why
there might be for Eddie Rice.
516
00:43:05,478 --> 00:43:07,300
You'll hear from me later.
517
00:43:25,961 --> 00:43:28,189
How you coming with that
Kelly report, Ben?
518
00:43:28,249 --> 00:43:30,945
Just finishing up for you.
-Okay, I'll wait.
519
00:43:33,515 --> 00:43:36,586
Somebody must've believed in that
old gag about an apple a day.
520
00:43:36,646 --> 00:43:40,513
Yeah, but they didn't know it would pin
a murder on them. -Quite an appetite.
521
00:43:40,573 --> 00:43:43,253
Psychological, it creates
a false hunger.
522
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:50,156
Well, here you are, Joe.
I can go home now.
523
00:43:50,216 --> 00:43:53,454
Thanks a lot, Ben. See you tomorrow.
-Okay, see ya tomorrow.
524
00:44:06,875 --> 00:44:07,778
Yeah?
525
00:44:07,838 --> 00:44:10,970
I'm interested in Eddie Riccardi,
not in what's going on in there.
526
00:44:11,030 --> 00:44:13,680
We don't know from Riccardi.
-I do, open up.
527
00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:18,240
Place your bets, folks. Place your
bets. Bet high/low...odd or even.
528
00:44:38,711 --> 00:44:39,795
Yes?
529
00:44:39,990 --> 00:44:43,438
Miss Martin? Williams, Homicide.
May I come in please?
530
00:44:43,732 --> 00:44:44,982
Come in.
531
00:44:47,432 --> 00:44:50,820
Eddie was just picked up by Danny.
-Where'd he take him?
532
00:44:52,557 --> 00:44:54,424
You'll hear from me later.
533
00:45:14,826 --> 00:45:16,377
You know, Williams?
534
00:45:17,054 --> 00:45:19,524
I'm not used to cops with insomnia.
535
00:45:20,201 --> 00:45:22,791
What's on your mind?
-It won't take long.
536
00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:25,960
Danny picked up Eddie Riccardi.
Where are they?
537
00:45:27,537 --> 00:45:29,329
You're in an awful rut.
538
00:45:29,540 --> 00:45:31,497
Always asking questions.
539
00:45:31,557 --> 00:45:33,846
All right...let's start over.
540
00:45:34,581 --> 00:45:37,306
Eddie was at the Golden Horn
with Nina Martin.
541
00:45:37,366 --> 00:45:39,685
Suddenly, he wasn't there anymore.
542
00:45:40,208 --> 00:45:41,368
So...
543
00:45:41,578 --> 00:45:44,018
So...I don't mind waiting.
544
00:45:45,900 --> 00:45:48,053
While we kill a little time...
545
00:45:49,429 --> 00:45:51,176
This might interest you.
546
00:46:01,803 --> 00:46:05,733
And, after we pick up Riccardi...
we're going down to police headquarters.
547
00:46:06,034 --> 00:46:08,579
You're gonna have a manicure...on me.
548
00:46:10,294 --> 00:46:13,380
You know, you're gonna look awful
silly when I get through with you.
549
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,819
If I'm wrong...I'll apologize.
550
00:46:21,050 --> 00:46:23,264
Say hello, nothing more.
551
00:46:25,733 --> 00:46:26,862
Hello.
552
00:46:27,674 --> 00:46:31,408
Vince, we're at the shop. Do we
stay or bring Riccardi up there?
553
00:46:32,507 --> 00:46:34,238
Tell him you'll be down.
554
00:46:52,464 --> 00:46:53,699
Okay, Coke...
555
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,385
<i>Bring him up here.</i>
556
00:47:28,724 --> 00:47:30,530
What do you want now?
557
00:47:41,819 --> 00:47:44,605
Just when he was coming up
in the department.
558
00:49:14,591 --> 00:49:15,886
Car 9-4
559
00:49:15,946 --> 00:49:17,813
9-4 to Control-4.
560
00:49:17,873 --> 00:49:20,252
<i>Clear Frequency-4, this is an emergency.</i>
561
00:49:20,312 --> 00:49:23,126
Control-4 to 94, go ahead.
562
00:49:23,186 --> 00:49:25,099
<i>Car 94 to Control-4</i>
563
00:49:25,159 --> 00:49:29,209
<i>Notify the Homicide Bureau, we have found
the body of Lt Williams in his car.</i>
564
00:49:29,269 --> 00:49:31,133
At Sepulveda and Sunset.
565
00:50:17,423 --> 00:50:18,763
Give you a lift, son?
566
00:50:18,823 --> 00:50:21,485
Thanks, I had a little accident
back up a side road.
567
00:50:21,545 --> 00:50:24,556
I have to go to town, get a tow car.
-Anybody killed?
568
00:50:27,016 --> 00:50:29,561
No luck at all tonight.
Hop in.
569
00:50:39,349 --> 00:50:42,090
Bet you thought I wouldn't stop
to pick you up, didn't you?
570
00:50:42,150 --> 00:50:43,638
I didn't know.
571
00:50:43,698 --> 00:50:45,113
It's late.
-See...
572
00:50:45,173 --> 00:50:49,130
That's why I fooled you. Have me orders.
Pick up anybody, anytime.
573
00:50:49,747 --> 00:50:51,870
Green Acres Morticians policy.
574
00:50:52,094 --> 00:50:54,698
Live today...maybe a customer tomorrow.
575
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,400
Pays off too.
576
00:50:56,460 --> 00:50:59,848
Most people remember the nice things
you do for them while they're living.
577
00:50:59,908 --> 00:51:03,864
We sure don't get any complaints about our
service from them after they're dead.
578
00:51:03,924 --> 00:51:05,927
Their family, that is.
579
00:51:07,423 --> 00:51:09,441
That accident hurt you any?
580
00:51:10,992 --> 00:51:13,069
Got a match?
-Sure do.
581
00:51:19,645 --> 00:51:21,813
Police, ambulance and everything.
582
00:51:22,114 --> 00:51:24,312
I wonder if I'm losing any customers?
583
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:40,902
Finished with Joe's stuff yet?
-Still working on it.
584
00:51:43,326 --> 00:51:44,816
It's too bad...
585
00:51:45,434 --> 00:51:48,460
Joe's wife sure liked him
in that suit too.
586
00:52:13,311 --> 00:52:16,021
Any line on Riccardi yet?
-Nothing, Captain.
587
00:52:16,081 --> 00:52:19,710
Keep trying, he's the last one who
might of seen Joe. -Okay.
588
00:52:20,197 --> 00:52:21,718
Eddie Riccardi.
589
00:52:24,187 --> 00:52:26,445
Guess Williams was right after all.
590
00:52:26,701 --> 00:52:28,538
Riccardi or Rice.
591
00:52:28,826 --> 00:52:32,530
A Silver Star and a dumb look doesn't
change a no good heel.
592
00:52:33,147 --> 00:52:36,173
Attention all units!
Attention all units!
593
00:52:36,233 --> 00:52:40,175
Be on the lookout for the following
<i>described suspect, wanted for murder:</i>
594
00:52:40,551 --> 00:52:43,322
<i>Eddie Riccardi, alias Eddie Rice,</i>
595
00:52:43,589 --> 00:52:46,164
<i>White male, American,</i>
596
00:52:46,224 --> 00:52:49,341
<i>Age 33, 6 foot 2.</i>
597
00:52:49,729 --> 00:52:51,506
<i>190 lbs...</i>
598
00:52:51,957 --> 00:52:53,312
<i>Dark brown...</i>
599
00:52:53,659 --> 00:52:55,944
You phone the cops and do 'em a favor,
600
00:52:56,004 --> 00:53:00,024
where to find a dead cop and the guy
that did it, and what happens...
601
00:53:05,972 --> 00:53:08,035
The first stop is Nina Martin's.
602
00:53:08,276 --> 00:53:10,474
I want Eddie before the cops get him.
603
00:53:10,730 --> 00:53:12,913
Then they can have him for a present.
604
00:53:14,334 --> 00:53:15,915
And alive!
605
00:53:32,066 --> 00:53:33,843
Eddie!
-Shut up!
606
00:53:34,168 --> 00:53:36,065
Get those lights out!
607
00:53:37,285 --> 00:53:39,152
Eddie, what happened?
608
00:53:40,533 --> 00:53:43,951
You certainly did a neat job
of tying me into a murder.
609
00:53:44,011 --> 00:53:46,089
Joe Williams was killed tonight.
610
00:53:46,149 --> 00:53:47,901
You?
-I don't know.
611
00:53:47,961 --> 00:53:51,138
The last thing I remember was being slugged
over the head at Vince Alexander's.
612
00:53:51,198 --> 00:53:53,713
I know you think that...
-I haven't got time to think!
613
00:53:53,773 --> 00:53:57,811
All I want is a few bucks, your car and
you in my sight till I get out of here!
614
00:53:57,871 --> 00:53:59,874
Eddie, you've got to believe me!
615
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:01,335
Believe?
616
00:54:01,656 --> 00:54:03,508
Like you believed me?
617
00:54:03,885 --> 00:54:05,661
Give me the keys!
618
00:54:10,271 --> 00:54:14,017
Eddie! This is why I turned on you
tonight, to get you away from Vince.
619
00:54:14,077 --> 00:54:16,992
The keys are in the car, you go,
I'll try to stall them off.
620
00:54:17,224 --> 00:54:19,468
And get a bullet in the back of my head?
621
00:54:19,528 --> 00:54:22,404
Oh, Eddie! You've got to trust me,
it's your only chance.
622
00:54:24,815 --> 00:54:26,091
Quick!
623
00:54:26,444 --> 00:54:28,043
The garage.
624
00:55:25,770 --> 00:55:29,188
This is where you get out. -Go to the
police, Eddie. Before it's too late.
625
00:55:29,248 --> 00:55:32,400
With my fingerprints all over the
gun and all over Williams car?
626
00:55:32,460 --> 00:55:35,257
I wouldn't last long enough to walk
to the nearest police station.
627
00:55:35,317 --> 00:55:38,133
If I did what could I tell them?
Now out!
628
00:55:38,788 --> 00:55:41,737
You want me to go home and wait
for Vince to come back again?
629
00:55:41,797 --> 00:55:45,800
That's something Eddie Riccardo would
tell me to do, not Eddie Rice.
630
00:55:49,139 --> 00:55:50,606
All right.
631
00:56:06,538 --> 00:56:07,668
Stop.
632
00:56:11,312 --> 00:56:13,997
Keep your lights off and
the motor running.
633
00:56:57,233 --> 00:56:59,889
Well, now you've got a gun! What next?
634
00:57:01,213 --> 00:57:04,044
I didn't ask for any killings,
so I'm in the middle.
635
00:57:04,528 --> 00:57:07,711
But, I'm not going to be a clay
pigeon for Vince Alexander.
636
00:57:08,308 --> 00:57:10,513
You can't prove anything dead.
637
00:57:10,573 --> 00:57:14,597
That would make Vince very happy,
something I wouldn't want to let happen.
638
00:57:15,047 --> 00:57:18,758
Is there any place we could go, someone
you can trust to put us up for the night?
639
00:57:18,818 --> 00:57:20,299
I need time.
640
00:57:21,747 --> 00:57:23,404
Maybe there is.
641
00:57:23,464 --> 00:57:25,443
It's a long chance, but...
642
00:57:28,917 --> 00:57:31,763
You don't think you're going to
get away with this, do you?
643
00:57:32,276 --> 00:57:34,477
We're staying here till tomorrow.
644
00:57:42,766 --> 00:57:46,004
Stay away from that phone!
If it rings, let it keep ringing!
645
00:57:46,064 --> 00:57:48,953
Get rid of anybody who comes to
the door, I'll be right behind you
646
00:57:49,013 --> 00:57:50,845
in case you give the wrong answers.
647
00:57:55,517 --> 00:57:58,539
What about the girl's place?
-There and gone.
648
00:57:58,599 --> 00:58:02,705
Get a teletype out on her car immediately,
have it re-broadcast every half hour.
649
00:58:08,211 --> 00:58:10,661
I want roadblocks at all these points.
650
00:58:10,721 --> 00:58:12,705
I want the airport, the railroad station,
651
00:58:12,765 --> 00:58:15,536
all the bus terminals put
under a 24 surveillance.
652
00:58:15,596 --> 00:58:18,001
I want every hotel and
flophouse notified.
653
00:58:18,061 --> 00:58:20,818
They're in this town somewhere
and they're not getting out.
654
00:58:21,019 --> 00:58:22,354
One other thing...
655
00:58:22,414 --> 00:58:26,887
We picked up Riccardi's fingerprints on
that gun shop. He's got a gun now.
656
00:58:27,294 --> 00:58:29,421
Don't give him a chance to use it!
657
00:58:29,481 --> 00:58:31,284
All right, start moving.
658
00:58:31,344 --> 00:58:33,908
<i>The police tightened its dragnet
about the city today.</i>
659
00:58:33,968 --> 00:58:36,988
<i>Riccardi escaped just as the police
were ready to close in on him</i>
660
00:58:37,048 --> 00:58:39,197
<i>after they received an
anonymous phone call</i>
661
00:58:39,257 --> 00:58:42,292
<i>which led them to discover the murdered
body of one of their men today.</i>
662
00:58:42,352 --> 00:58:44,067
<i>Every available man...</i>
663
00:58:47,714 --> 00:58:49,958
We'll wait till it's dark
and get out of here.
664
00:58:50,018 --> 00:58:52,423
You couldn't arrange to
drop dead before then?
665
00:58:52,483 --> 00:58:55,606
Hazel, you've got to believe us.
Eddie didn't do it!
666
00:58:55,897 --> 00:58:57,936
He should still drop dead.
667
00:58:58,269 --> 00:58:59,604
Twice.
668
01:00:12,318 --> 01:00:13,477
Coke!
669
01:00:36,274 --> 01:00:38,401
Get me a couple of clean towels.
670
01:00:42,231 --> 01:00:43,771
It's pretty bad.
671
01:00:44,739 --> 01:00:49,052
I'll have you out of here in a minute,
we'll find a doctor. -Go to the police.
672
01:00:49,497 --> 01:00:51,448
Eddie, go to the police.
673
01:00:53,848 --> 01:00:55,961
Your car in the garage?
-Yes.
674
01:00:56,021 --> 01:00:58,704
Where are your keys?
-In my purse.
675
01:00:58,764 --> 01:01:00,288
Take care of her.
676
01:01:22,875 --> 01:01:23,843
Thanks.
677
01:01:23,903 --> 01:01:26,748
I'll have the doctor come right
in the moment he returns.
678
01:01:38,651 --> 01:01:40,602
Light me a cigarette.
679
01:02:02,498 --> 01:02:04,288
You're far away.
680
01:02:06,205 --> 01:02:07,614
How far?
681
01:02:09,418 --> 01:02:10,885
Five years.
682
01:02:11,545 --> 01:02:13,041
A lifetime.
683
01:02:14,259 --> 01:02:15,961
Beyond that, a blank.
684
01:02:17,162 --> 01:02:18,879
Me too, Eddie.
685
01:02:18,939 --> 01:02:21,270
Only, it's been a different
kind of a blank.
686
01:02:21,798 --> 01:02:24,453
It's being pushed back
to Eddie Riccardi.
687
01:02:24,937 --> 01:02:26,184
This.
688
01:02:26,811 --> 01:02:30,215
The whole past that keeps me
from being like other people.
689
01:02:30,992 --> 01:02:32,763
Now all that's left is
690
01:02:32,823 --> 01:02:36,460
wondering what it would be like if there
had only been an Eddie Rice.
691
01:02:38,540 --> 01:02:41,287
If I'd of just met you
for the first time.
692
01:02:43,087 --> 01:02:45,508
Eddie Rice can have that.
693
01:02:48,248 --> 01:02:50,610
Oh, you're...good, Eddie.
694
01:02:51,681 --> 01:02:53,368
You're good.
695
01:02:54,934 --> 01:02:57,622
You've taken away the hate in me.
696
01:02:58,176 --> 01:02:59,995
Destroyed it.
697
01:03:01,946 --> 01:03:03,912
You're...good, Eddie.
698
01:03:07,874 --> 01:03:10,573
When a baby wants to be born,
hours don't matter!
699
01:03:10,633 --> 01:03:12,554
7 poundsd 7ounces...a boy.
700
01:03:12,614 --> 01:03:14,549
Doctor, her shoulder...
701
01:03:29,779 --> 01:03:31,760
I can't treat gun wounds.
702
01:03:31,820 --> 01:03:34,679
She'll have to go to the police
emergency hospital.
703
01:03:34,739 --> 01:03:36,179
I don't think so.
704
01:03:36,239 --> 01:03:39,260
I'm sorry, but I've got to report
this to the police.
705
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:40,624
Doctor.
706
01:03:41,138 --> 01:03:43,191
That report to the police...
707
01:03:43,539 --> 01:03:44,918
It'll wait.
708
01:03:45,123 --> 01:03:47,368
If you want to pull that
trigger, go ahead.
709
01:03:49,535 --> 01:03:51,603
Police headquarters, please.
710
01:03:53,055 --> 01:03:56,092
Put that gun away! I said I was
going to call the police.
711
01:03:56,293 --> 01:03:57,775
Police headquarters?
712
01:03:57,980 --> 01:04:00,914
This is Dr Stacey, 93 Chestnut Street.
713
01:04:01,174 --> 01:04:03,492
Send an ambulance and a squad car.
714
01:04:09,003 --> 01:04:10,602
How bad is it?
715
01:04:14,534 --> 01:04:16,118
She'll be all right.
716
01:04:18,447 --> 01:04:20,262
You'd better leave.
717
01:04:27,035 --> 01:04:30,805
Eddie, I'm scared...I'm scared...
-Take it easy, you'll be all right.
718
01:04:30,865 --> 01:04:33,341
Not for me, for you.
-Listen...
719
01:04:33,531 --> 01:04:37,507
I'm leaving you for a little while.
I've got an idea, it might work.
720
01:04:37,567 --> 01:04:39,672
Something very important.
721
01:04:40,214 --> 01:04:44,395
You knew all about me. The people
I used to know, the places I went.
722
01:04:44,699 --> 01:04:46,855
Think for me, go back five years.
723
01:04:46,915 --> 01:04:51,110
Who was there? Just one person.
Give me the answers, quick!
724
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,289
What you say is my only chance,
the only chance I've got.
725
01:04:54,349 --> 01:04:58,231
The only one left is...Petey.
He can't be trusted with Vince.
726
01:04:58,291 --> 01:05:01,337
Where will I find him?
-Not him, he's... -Tell me!
727
01:05:01,759 --> 01:05:04,457
Two, three places on Main Street.
728
01:05:05,198 --> 01:05:07,034
Fourth and Main...
729
01:05:07,094 --> 01:05:10,091
And after Nina ran in front of him,
Coke never had a chance.
730
01:05:10,151 --> 01:05:11,748
That Eddie sure didn't miss.
731
01:05:11,808 --> 01:05:14,345
Coke took three, went right through
his breakfast, lunch and supper.
732
01:05:14,405 --> 01:05:16,575
Anybody come around, ask any questions?
733
01:05:16,635 --> 01:05:19,900
None I couldn't answer, Vince.
-Get back down and keep him company.
734
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,570
But...but, the police?
-That's exactly what I want!
735
01:05:22,630 --> 01:05:25,559
Tell him how Riccardi broke into your
apartment, found Coke there
736
01:05:25,619 --> 01:05:28,727
pulled his gun and fired. Now do
what I told you, just that!
737
01:05:29,035 --> 01:05:31,250
All right, Vince.
-Take her back!
738
01:05:35,048 --> 01:05:37,293
Eddie's got to find a doctor somewhere.
739
01:05:37,484 --> 01:05:39,581
And, if he does what I think, he'll...
740
01:05:39,772 --> 01:05:42,295
dump the girl...and start looking
for a hidewaway.
741
01:05:43,785 --> 01:05:44,973
Get going!
742
01:05:45,033 --> 01:05:48,039
Spread the news I got a personal
interest in Eddie Riccardi.
743
01:05:48,099 --> 01:05:50,870
I don't want anything to happen
to him...until I get there.
744
01:05:51,389 --> 01:05:53,443
Unless the cops get him first.
745
01:05:54,467 --> 01:05:57,841
You through with him, Doc?
-Yup. He was a fine specimen.
746
01:05:57,901 --> 01:06:00,041
Would have had a long life
if this hadn't happened.
747
01:06:00,101 --> 01:06:02,051
I'll send you my report in the morning.
748
01:06:05,694 --> 01:06:08,335
I'm sure you don't mind coming
downtown, Miss Downs?
749
01:06:08,395 --> 01:06:10,477
Well, I...
-I thought not.
750
01:06:12,659 --> 01:06:14,859
What'd you find?
-It was them all right.
751
01:06:14,919 --> 01:06:17,471
Riccardi left the doctor's office
about 30 minutes ago
752
01:06:17,531 --> 01:06:20,830
Notify Communications? -They're blanketing
the whole area. -The girl?
753
01:06:20,890 --> 01:06:25,608
County Jail Hospital. Still out, whether
she's playing it safe or just not talking.
754
01:06:25,668 --> 01:06:29,085
Keep Melon there, the minute she comes
out, I want to know. -Any ideas?
755
01:06:29,145 --> 01:06:31,970
Lots! We need Riccardi to
explain some of them.
756
01:06:32,157 --> 01:06:34,196
If he lives that long.
757
01:06:38,347 --> 01:06:41,120
Hello. I'm looking for Petey,
have you seen him?
758
01:06:42,691 --> 01:06:44,671
Do you know where to find him?
759
01:06:57,552 --> 01:07:00,780
<i>Nina said three or four places,
I must have hit twenty.</i>
760
01:07:01,245 --> 01:07:03,196
<i>And every answer the same.</i>
761
01:07:03,710 --> 01:07:04,810
<i>No.</i>
762
01:07:05,803 --> 01:07:08,605
<i>The shake of their head,
a frightened face.</i>
763
01:07:10,111 --> 01:07:14,043
<i>They knew where I could find what I was
looking for, but they wouldn't talk.</i>
764
01:07:14,483 --> 01:07:16,141
<i>They were scared.</i>
765
01:08:08,257 --> 01:08:11,660
But, Vince! Appreciate the fact
that at least I called you.
766
01:08:11,961 --> 01:08:14,015
I let him stay, it's another rap.
767
01:08:14,075 --> 01:08:17,623
Another rap, I get life! You've
got to appreciate that!
768
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,296
And I'd appreciate it if you'd
tell me where to find Petey.
769
01:08:24,044 --> 01:08:25,306
Right now!
770
01:08:25,366 --> 01:08:26,758
Sure, Eddie.
771
01:08:27,096 --> 01:08:28,152
Sure.
772
01:08:34,841 --> 01:08:36,822
Ocean Boulevard and 25th.
773
01:09:43,996 --> 01:09:46,490
Who's there? Who is it?
-Eddie.
774
01:09:47,355 --> 01:09:48,910
Eddie Riccardi.
775
01:09:49,277 --> 01:09:52,886
Oh, Eddie boy. Every cop in the
city is out gunning for you!
776
01:09:53,350 --> 01:09:55,403
Maybe you don't care if you live...
777
01:09:55,711 --> 01:09:57,604
I got a few more years left!
778
01:09:57,839 --> 01:09:59,526
Open the door, Petey.
779
01:10:00,083 --> 01:10:01,799
You're dead if you don't.
780
01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:04,769
All right, Eddie.
781
01:10:12,804 --> 01:10:15,914
You didn't think I'd leave you out
there in the cold, did you Eddie?
782
01:10:16,545 --> 01:10:20,550
Five years, no see! But, you sure got
a hot fire burning under you, huh?
783
01:10:21,019 --> 01:10:22,105
Yeah.
784
01:10:24,891 --> 01:10:26,900
You need a pal, a friend.
785
01:10:30,025 --> 01:10:32,240
Sure, I need a friend, Petey.
786
01:10:32,483 --> 01:10:36,263
Look, old friend... Will you...will
you put that mouthpiece away?
787
01:10:36,323 --> 01:10:39,153
Somehow I...I still believe they go off!
788
01:10:39,926 --> 01:10:42,669
And, Samson my cat, you remember my cat?
789
01:10:44,180 --> 01:10:46,439
He's not feeling too good again.
790
01:10:46,949 --> 01:10:49,545
You stay careful and
nothing will happen.
791
01:10:49,605 --> 01:10:53,110
Oh sure. Sure, Eddie. You're
talking to Petey, remember?
792
01:10:53,340 --> 01:10:55,746
Any objections to my moving in with you?
793
01:10:56,025 --> 01:10:58,416
I'll be gone, tomorrow or the next day.
794
01:10:58,476 --> 01:11:01,771
Oh, me? Turn away practically,
my own flesh and blood?
795
01:11:03,341 --> 01:11:04,822
Relax, Eddie.
796
01:11:08,491 --> 01:11:11,308
There you are, Eddie. Nothing's
too good for you.
797
01:11:12,355 --> 01:11:16,154
How about some food, Petey?
I haven't eaten all night.
798
01:11:16,536 --> 01:11:18,370
You haven't changed a bit.
799
01:11:18,590 --> 01:11:20,086
Always hungry!
800
01:11:20,146 --> 01:11:22,022
Still tied up with Vince?
801
01:11:24,002 --> 01:11:27,670
I do a little private eyeing on the side.
A job here, a job there.
802
01:11:28,007 --> 01:11:29,284
Nothing big.
803
01:11:31,150 --> 01:11:32,705
I'll telephone.
804
01:11:43,749 --> 01:11:47,358
Hello, friend? Petey! I got
a special customer.
805
01:11:47,828 --> 01:11:49,852
Yeah. Yeah, an old one.
806
01:11:50,881 --> 01:11:54,094
How about sending something over?
He's tired and hungry.
807
01:11:54,813 --> 01:11:56,778
A pot of coffee and a sandwich.
808
01:11:56,969 --> 01:11:58,011
Turkey.
809
01:11:58,266 --> 01:11:59,352
Tongue
810
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:01,684
Egg salad combination.
811
01:12:02,638 --> 01:12:04,442
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
812
01:12:05,543 --> 01:12:06,863
You got it.
813
01:12:12,752 --> 01:12:16,068
You see, Eddie? Everything's
just like old times.
814
01:12:16,655 --> 01:12:18,474
If you say so, Petey.
815
01:12:20,114 --> 01:12:21,948
I'm gettin' kinda sleepy.
816
01:12:22,271 --> 01:12:25,308
You just make yourself at home,
food will be along pretty soon.
817
01:12:25,368 --> 01:12:28,183
Vince has gotten to be a big
man the last five years.
818
01:12:28,675 --> 01:12:31,168
I'm really gettin' pretty tired, friend.
819
01:12:31,228 --> 01:12:33,457
Why don't you bring me
up to date, Petey?
820
01:12:33,517 --> 01:12:35,247
I'm really awful tired, friend!
821
01:12:35,307 --> 01:12:37,501
How long will it take Vince to get here?
822
01:12:37,971 --> 01:12:40,861
Eddie...Eddie, you...you embarrass me.
823
01:12:41,135 --> 01:12:43,834
I'll kill you if you don't give
it to me straight, Petey!
824
01:12:43,894 --> 01:12:47,047
Eddie...Eddie, don't talk like that.
Samson's sick!
825
01:12:47,543 --> 01:12:50,403
I'm telling you, Eddie!
-What are you telling me? How long?
826
01:12:50,463 --> 01:12:53,557
Five minutes? Ten? Fifteen minutes?
Twenty minutes?
827
01:12:54,096 --> 01:12:57,015
About...about fifteen minutes, Eddie.
828
01:12:57,323 --> 01:13:00,902
Vince puts you on the spot!
He's that way with all the boys!
829
01:13:01,162 --> 01:13:04,781
Blow Eddie! Take me with you.
You and me was always friends!
830
01:13:04,841 --> 01:13:08,273
You just stay in front of me and keep your
mouth shut and you won't get into trouble.
831
01:13:08,333 --> 01:13:11,265
Sure, Eddie! You got nothing
to worry about from me.
832
01:13:11,325 --> 01:13:14,361
Just stay my friend, Petey.
-Yeah, Eddie.
833
01:13:27,837 --> 01:13:29,935
You're retired, you can go home now.
834
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:32,601
Your friend want a ride?
-Not tonight.
835
01:13:34,995 --> 01:13:36,151
$2.80
836
01:13:36,711 --> 01:13:39,616
This will get you a thousand.
Come on, Petey.
837
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,005
Take care of Petey.
838
01:15:45,187 --> 01:15:46,434
Eddie!
839
01:15:46,625 --> 01:15:48,165
Let's get out of here!
840
01:15:49,661 --> 01:15:51,158
Go ahead, Petey.
841
01:15:51,610 --> 01:15:52,974
Thanks, Eddie.
842
01:15:54,148 --> 01:15:55,615
They're coming!
843
01:18:02,988 --> 01:18:04,191
Eddie.
844
01:18:04,792 --> 01:18:06,274
Can you hear me?
845
01:18:09,079 --> 01:18:10,898
We can make a break.
846
01:18:11,558 --> 01:18:13,319
Cover for each other.
847
01:18:14,096 --> 01:18:15,739
I got a place.
848
01:18:17,148 --> 01:18:18,820
You and me, Eddie.
849
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,342
We'll start up again.
850
01:18:22,914 --> 01:18:25,056
Just like old times.
851
01:18:30,072 --> 01:18:31,671
I got money, Eddie.
852
01:18:32,992 --> 01:18:34,327
Big money!
853
01:18:37,521 --> 01:18:39,355
Samson! Samson!
854
01:18:39,986 --> 01:18:41,159
Samson!
855
01:18:43,096 --> 01:18:44,841
Petey! Come back!
856
01:18:46,807 --> 01:18:47,908
Samson.
857
01:18:48,318 --> 01:18:50,446
Samson, baby. Samson.
858
01:19:47,773 --> 01:19:50,091
Riccardi! Alexander!
859
01:19:50,292 --> 01:19:53,813
We'll give you three minutes to come out.
We're gonna start counting.
860
01:19:54,135 --> 01:19:57,920
At the end of three minutes if you're
not out, we're coming to get you!
861
01:19:58,429 --> 01:20:00,600
This is your last chance, Eddie.
862
01:20:01,862 --> 01:20:04,121
There's just you and me left now.
863
01:20:04,181 --> 01:20:05,676
No deal, Vince.
864
01:20:06,455 --> 01:20:08,538
I know you killed Joe Williams.
865
01:20:08,978 --> 01:20:10,357
Okay...
866
01:20:11,516 --> 01:20:13,071
No deals.
867
01:21:51,795 --> 01:21:54,993
We want you, Riccardi..
Alive, Alexander!
868
01:21:55,595 --> 01:21:58,646
If you're in there and not wounded,
bring Riccardi out.
869
01:21:59,653 --> 01:22:03,761
You, Riccardi! If you're alone, come
out with your hands in the air!
870
01:22:06,712 --> 01:22:09,176
Here's when you and I part company.
871
01:22:09,396 --> 01:22:12,081
You're gonna get paid off in full.
872
01:22:41,345 --> 01:22:43,574
Thanks for bringing him out, Vince.
873
01:22:43,853 --> 01:22:47,169
Now, drop your gun.
I said drop your gun, Vince!
874
01:22:49,233 --> 01:22:51,932
Eddie will take what I
got first, Anderson!
875
01:22:54,015 --> 01:22:56,568
All police officers hold your fire!
876
01:22:57,552 --> 01:22:59,532
Don't be crazy, Alexander.
877
01:22:59,899 --> 01:23:02,774
There have been enough people killed.
Give yourself up.
878
01:23:02,834 --> 01:23:04,491
No bargains, Anderson!
879
01:23:04,551 --> 01:23:06,487
You want Riccardi alive...
880
01:23:06,547 --> 01:23:07,866
I want out!
881
01:23:07,926 --> 01:23:10,682
What guarantee have I got that
you won't kill Riccardi?
882
01:23:10,742 --> 01:23:13,250
You don't!
-Be sensible, Alexander.
883
01:23:13,979 --> 01:23:16,854
If we let you out now,
we'll get you later.
884
01:23:17,089 --> 01:23:19,040
You'll be dead before morning.
885
01:23:19,245 --> 01:23:21,930
You got 30 seconds to make
up your mind, Anderson!
886
01:23:22,688 --> 01:23:24,053
I go...
887
01:23:24,361 --> 01:23:26,415
or Riccardi gets it in the back!
888
01:23:29,595 --> 01:23:31,388
Sat down, Eddie! Don't move!
889
01:24:05,464 --> 01:24:06,711
Is he dead?
890
01:24:06,771 --> 01:24:09,234
He will be if we don't get
him to a hospital.
891
01:24:15,716 --> 01:24:19,090
That taxi driver must have really
gotten to you in a hurry.
892
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,980
He did, asking for a $1000 reward.
893
01:24:22,337 --> 01:24:26,826
And all the questions you want to ask...
I called Dr Kemble from San Francisco.
894
01:24:27,149 --> 01:24:31,242
We knew Vince killed Jow Williams,
we found his blood on Joe's clothing.
895
01:24:31,604 --> 01:24:34,435
It matched up with our
lab files, yours didn't.
896
01:24:34,740 --> 01:24:37,351
And, Hazel told us the truth about Coke.
897
01:24:37,747 --> 01:24:41,254
Now, just get well. We'll finish
our business later.
898
01:24:42,217 --> 01:24:43,391
Nina...
899
01:24:43,451 --> 01:24:45,782
She's fine...in the waiting room.
900
01:25:05,063 --> 01:25:08,173
You shouldn't kiss a guy like
that when he's sick in bed.
901
01:25:10,205 --> 01:25:14,254
Well, I've been waiting outside all the
time. They wouldn't tell me anything.
902
01:25:14,314 --> 01:25:15,970
I was afraid...
903
01:25:17,151 --> 01:25:18,647
It's all right.
904
01:25:19,674 --> 01:25:21,170
We'll go away.
905
01:25:21,230 --> 01:25:24,222
We'll find that...crazy world of yours.
906
01:25:25,698 --> 01:25:27,151
Sure.
907
01:25:30,408 --> 01:25:32,373
There's only one thing...
908
01:25:33,675 --> 01:25:35,494
You'll always be...
909
01:25:35,758 --> 01:25:37,298
Eddie Rice.
910
01:25:38,853 --> 01:25:40,540
For the rest of my life.
911
01:25:40,990 --> 01:25:43,059
I have the doc's word for him.
912
01:25:44,673 --> 01:25:46,110
Come here.

After sustaining a head wound in combat, decorated World War II veteran Eddie Rice (John Payne) is treated at a San Francisco military hospital for a permanent form of amnesia. This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.
Rice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely.

1
00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556
This is the Letterman General Hosiptal
at San Francisco, California.
2
00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219
For those outside these gates the
war is over, a thing of the past.
3
00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888
For those behind these gates there's a
grim, hard, bitter fight still going on.
4
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518
Take one case, the case
of Eddie Rice, age 33.
5
00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206
Enlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.
Holder of the Silver Star, but today...
6
00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026
A name and date number, a medical file.
For five years a chart on a hospital bed.
7
00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340
A victim of amnesia.
A mind with a blocked out past.
8
00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127
Where were you born, Eddie?
Who are your parents?
9
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912
Any brothers? Sisters?
10
00:01:54,277 --> 00:01:58,775
Where did you go to school?
What's your trade? Profession?
11
00:01:59,433 --> 00:02:01,748
Are you rich?
Poor?
12
00:02:02,051 --> 00:02:03,689
Got a girl?
13
00:02:03,915 --> 00:02:05,289
Married?
14
00:02:05,349 --> 00:02:06,869
I don't know.
15
00:02:07,378 --> 00:02:09,015
I don't know!
16
00:02:09,824 --> 00:02:11,537
I can't remember.
17
00:02:12,444 --> 00:02:14,571
I just can't remember, doctor.
18
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:30,922
You had me open. What did you quit for?
-We did the best we could, Eddie.
19
00:02:31,218 --> 00:02:33,439
It'll just have to stay there.
20
00:02:34,606 --> 00:02:38,483
Is that final?
-Unless you want your name on a headstone.
21
00:02:38,543 --> 00:02:43,592
That shrapnel's too deep in your brain.
Scar tissue has grown all around it.
22
00:02:43,652 --> 00:02:46,980
Believe me, we tried.
-Yeah, I guess you did.
23
00:02:48,391 --> 00:02:52,551
Where do I go from here?
-Eddie, there are two kinds of amnesia:
24
00:02:52,611 --> 00:02:54,895
psychological and organic.
25
00:02:55,178 --> 00:03:00,240
The psychological form is temporary, but
it can be cured through psychotherapy.
26
00:03:01,016 --> 00:03:03,876
Yours is organic, it's permanent.
27
00:03:04,347 --> 00:03:07,772
That piece of steel in your brain
has blocked out your memory.
28
00:03:07,832 --> 00:03:10,863
Which doesn't leave me much
of a future, does it?
29
00:03:10,923 --> 00:03:15,071
Of course it does, physically
you're normal and healthy.
30
00:03:15,131 --> 00:03:17,771
You've received the maximum
medical benefits
31
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:22,559
You've completed training courses that make
you fit to hold down a job and face life.
32
00:03:23,499 --> 00:03:26,540
With no address, no next
of kin, nothing.
33
00:03:27,489 --> 00:03:29,567
Enlisted from Los Angeles...
34
00:03:29,627 --> 00:03:32,397
Intelligence ran that down
for us, remember?
35
00:03:32,867 --> 00:03:35,818
Oh sure, there were a lot of
people named Rice there...
36
00:03:36,026 --> 00:03:37,682
but not this Eddie Rice.
37
00:03:37,742 --> 00:03:41,777
But, Army Intelligence didn't mow
Los Angeles lawns as a kid, Eddie.
38
00:03:41,837 --> 00:03:44,292
They didn't trade at the corner market.
39
00:03:44,352 --> 00:03:48,775
They didn't work with people in a factory,
in an office, as you might have done.
40
00:03:48,986 --> 00:03:50,136
Now...
41
00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:54,081
If you went down there...and ran
into somebody who knew you,
42
00:03:54,141 --> 00:03:55,918
just one person...
43
00:03:56,384 --> 00:03:57,694
Yes...
44
00:03:58,992 --> 00:04:01,702
If I ran into just one person
who knew me.
45
00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:03,689
One guy...
46
00:04:04,785 --> 00:04:07,149
Who would come up to me and say:
47
00:04:07,616 --> 00:04:08,775
"Eddie."
48
00:04:08,986 --> 00:04:10,491
"Eddie Rice."
49
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:12,253
"How have you been?"
50
00:04:12,581 --> 00:04:14,132
"Where have you been?"
51
00:04:14,192 --> 00:04:15,577
That's it, Eddie.
52
00:04:15,637 --> 00:04:18,766
And then, they'd tell me about
someone else I used to know.
53
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:21,626
And, I'd meet somebody else.
54
00:04:22,635 --> 00:04:24,141
And another...
55
00:04:25,342 --> 00:04:26,908
And another...
56
00:04:57,774 --> 00:05:00,996
<i>Sure, it scares you to go out into
a world you don't remember...</i>
57
00:05:01,484 --> 00:05:02,959
<i>but you're here now.</i>
58
00:05:03,742 --> 00:05:05,473
<i>It'll be a new life.</i>
59
00:05:05,805 --> 00:05:07,295
<i>A new start.</i>
60
00:05:08,231 --> 00:05:10,189
<i>Find yourself a place to live.</i>
61
00:05:10,957 --> 00:05:12,613
<i>Get yourself a job.</i>
62
00:05:13,290 --> 00:05:14,540
<i>Get going.</i>
63
00:05:15,353 --> 00:05:16,919
<i>Get going, Eddie!</i>
64
00:05:19,198 --> 00:05:20,357
Eddie!
65
00:05:20,417 --> 00:05:22,736
You know, it's a small world, Eddie.
66
00:05:22,796 --> 00:05:25,266
We came down here to pick
up a little of one thing,
67
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:28,650
and we ran into a little of another!
-A lot of us thought you were dead.
68
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:32,851
Yes, and...those that didn't hoped you
were. What are you doing in town?
69
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,642
I'm just in from San Francisco.
70
00:05:36,702 --> 00:05:40,060
I didn't ask you that.
-He asked you what you were doing in town.
71
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,354
I cam here to look up some...people.
72
00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:45,989
Funny, I...I had a feeling that was it.
73
00:05:46,049 --> 00:05:48,443
Anderson one of them?
-Anderson?
74
00:05:49,719 --> 00:05:50,698
Maybe.
75
00:05:50,758 --> 00:05:54,251
I think you're lying, Eddie. I don't think you
were gonna look up Anderson at all.
76
00:05:54,311 --> 00:05:57,458
Barrett, do you think he was gonna
look up Anderson? -No, Joe.
77
00:05:57,699 --> 00:06:00,108
Not Anderson.
-I'll tell you what...
78
00:06:00,168 --> 00:06:02,737
I got a car and nothing
to do for a while...
79
00:06:02,797 --> 00:06:05,478
Let's go see Anderson together.
Any objections?
80
00:06:07,616 --> 00:06:09,016
No objections.
81
00:06:09,076 --> 00:06:11,256
Stick around, Kelly may still show.
82
00:06:11,452 --> 00:06:12,506
Let's go.
83
00:06:35,122 --> 00:06:37,667
'Honorable discharge of Edward Rice.'
84
00:06:41,972 --> 00:06:43,568
What's the gimmick?
85
00:06:44,110 --> 00:06:46,399
If you'd put away your blackjacks
long enough
86
00:06:46,459 --> 00:06:48,431
maybe I could get it through
your heads that...
87
00:06:48,491 --> 00:06:50,714
I don't know what you're talking about.
88
00:06:50,774 --> 00:06:52,912
You got yourself a sense
of humor, Eddie.
89
00:06:52,972 --> 00:06:56,010
You think you come back here with
a dumb look and a Silver Star...
90
00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:58,958
That changes a no good heel?
-But, I'm trying to tell you that...
91
00:06:59,018 --> 00:07:01,382
You don't have to tell us
anything about yourself.
92
00:07:01,442 --> 00:07:03,881
We got it all down in black and white.
93
00:07:06,019 --> 00:07:07,630
Read it, Riccardi.
94
00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:09,313
We didn't dream it up.
95
00:07:09,795 --> 00:07:12,355
Possession of a weapon
with intent to kill.
96
00:07:12,882 --> 00:07:14,553
Suspicion of murder.
97
00:07:17,184 --> 00:07:18,566
<i>Riccardi...</i>
98
00:07:19,274 --> 00:07:20,960
<i>Eddie Riccardi.</i>
99
00:07:21,638 --> 00:07:25,236
<i>That's not me, it can't be.
It only looks like me!</i>
100
00:07:26,348 --> 00:07:29,103
<i>I better get out of here!
I've got to get out!</i>
101
00:07:29,163 --> 00:07:33,093
Five years ago we hustled you out of town,
for good. Now what are you here for?
102
00:07:34,253 --> 00:07:35,939
<i>You've got to play ball.</i>
103
00:07:35,999 --> 00:07:39,153
<i>You need time. You need more
time to find out about yourself.</i>
104
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,894
Riccardi's just playing dumb, Captain.
105
00:07:42,556 --> 00:07:44,122
Put him in the lockup.
106
00:07:44,498 --> 00:07:47,085
I'm finding about these...
discharge papers.
107
00:07:47,145 --> 00:07:49,358
If they're phonies, we'll pin a
real one on him.
108
00:07:49,418 --> 00:07:50,999
Just a minute, Lieutenant.
109
00:07:52,426 --> 00:07:56,627
I guess, maybe I didn't want the army
to know about Eddie...Riccardi.
110
00:07:57,317 --> 00:08:00,133
The only friends I have
know me as Eddie Rice.
111
00:08:00,916 --> 00:08:02,813
I'd like to keep it that way.
112
00:08:03,219 --> 00:08:05,945
That's probably the first honest
thing you've ever said.
113
00:08:06,005 --> 00:08:07,537
Pick up your things.
114
00:08:10,967 --> 00:08:14,008
Be Eddie Rice in some other
town, but not here.
115
00:08:14,068 --> 00:08:18,540
Now, we can't hold you, but...you step
out of line once and we step on you.
116
00:08:26,034 --> 00:08:28,278
Notice anything different
about him, Williams?
117
00:08:28,338 --> 00:08:31,138
Nothing! If Riccardi stays in town
there's gonna be trouble.
118
00:08:31,198 --> 00:08:34,210
I don't know. He had a strange
look about him.
119
00:08:34,667 --> 00:08:37,934
Send to Washington for a complete
report on Edward Rice.
120
00:08:37,994 --> 00:08:40,870
That Silver Star, you really
do something to get one.
121
00:08:40,930 --> 00:08:43,686
Yeah, buy it in a pawn
shop for two bits.
122
00:09:01,270 --> 00:09:04,944
Nina, my sweet!
My beautiful, lovely...
123
00:09:05,004 --> 00:09:07,609
All right, Nick! Let's keep
it all business.
124
00:09:10,063 --> 00:09:13,240
Who is it this time?
-Petey. Suspicion of robbery.
125
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:16,251
Get him out before they start
shifting him around. -Petey?
126
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:17,588
Him?
127
00:09:17,648 --> 00:09:19,726
He wouldn't steal his own shadow.
128
00:09:19,786 --> 00:09:22,056
That was William's gag to get
him out of the way.
129
00:09:22,116 --> 00:09:25,670
I wouldn't know. Bail's $1000.
-Inflation!
130
00:09:25,730 --> 00:09:27,823
That's the whole trouble these days.
131
00:09:28,847 --> 00:09:30,714
Alexander, he unhappy?
132
00:09:31,252 --> 00:09:34,188
Nick. Keep your mind on your business.
133
00:09:34,248 --> 00:09:36,233
Let Vince worry about his, huh?
134
00:09:36,293 --> 00:09:39,259
Sure, beautiful Sure.
Forget I mentioned it.
135
00:09:53,907 --> 00:09:55,970
Take my advice, you leave town.
136
00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:57,837
I've got things to do.
137
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,125
Adios, boy! You're on your own.
138
00:10:04,466 --> 00:10:05,941
Kelly never showed.
139
00:10:06,001 --> 00:10:07,071
Odd.
140
00:10:07,131 --> 00:10:08,606
We'll hear from him.
141
00:10:18,132 --> 00:10:20,074
One of the usual fronts?
142
00:10:21,098 --> 00:10:24,064
You have a lot of Jane Does, Nick.
Use one of them.
143
00:10:26,732 --> 00:10:28,328
Of course, there's a big difference
144
00:10:28,388 --> 00:10:30,617
between the Florida oranges
and the California oranges.
145
00:10:30,677 --> 00:10:33,131
At least that's what the Chamber
of Commerce in Florida says.
146
00:10:33,191 --> 00:10:35,661
And the Chamber of Commerce
in California says...
147
00:10:35,872 --> 00:10:37,874
Orange juice, please.
-Yes, ma'am.
148
00:10:41,153 --> 00:10:42,388
Eddie.
149
00:10:44,691 --> 00:10:47,281
I thought it was you from
across the street.
150
00:10:48,856 --> 00:10:49,940
Hello.
151
00:10:51,204 --> 00:10:53,794
Is that the only thing
you've got to say?
152
00:10:54,110 --> 00:10:56,640
Well, there's a lot more
I could say, but...
153
00:10:57,107 --> 00:10:58,311
but you...
154
00:10:59,299 --> 00:11:00,609
Let's see...
155
00:11:01,814 --> 00:11:03,425
Nacy Morgan?
156
00:11:03,711 --> 00:11:05,051
Nora Murphy?
157
00:11:05,292 --> 00:11:09,176
No, you don't look like Nora Murphy.
-What'd you come back for, Eddie?
158
00:11:10,216 --> 00:11:12,610
A man has a right to come
home, hasn't he?
159
00:11:14,552 --> 00:11:17,699
My car is across the street,
I'll take you there.
160
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:18,994
Sure!
161
00:11:19,175 --> 00:11:20,228
Thanks.
162
00:11:45,318 --> 00:11:47,089
Vince know you're back?
163
00:11:47,149 --> 00:11:48,360
Vince?
164
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,025
Should he?
165
00:11:51,762 --> 00:11:53,419
You oughta know.
166
00:12:02,797 --> 00:12:04,499
Thanks for the lift.
167
00:12:07,503 --> 00:12:08,828
Coming in?
168
00:12:09,264 --> 00:12:11,447
Who said this was the end of the road?
169
00:12:12,833 --> 00:12:15,091
Who's complaining? Not me.
170
00:12:40,205 --> 00:12:41,530
Checking in?
171
00:12:41,771 --> 00:12:42,870
Long?
172
00:12:44,466 --> 00:12:45,896
I don't know yet.
173
00:12:46,739 --> 00:12:48,019
Alone?
174
00:12:48,648 --> 00:12:49,672
Yes.
175
00:12:52,517 --> 00:12:55,393
Edward Rice...San Francisco.
176
00:12:58,702 --> 00:13:00,042
304.
177
00:13:03,234 --> 00:13:06,757
I'll throw the stuff in the room and
be right back. -If you say so.
178
00:13:29,744 --> 00:13:32,665
Hello? hello, this is Nina.
I want to talk to Vince.
179
00:13:32,725 --> 00:13:33,885
He's busy.
180
00:13:33,945 --> 00:13:36,203
Not too busy for what
I've got to tell him.
181
00:13:36,263 --> 00:13:37,479
<i>He's not here.</i>
182
00:13:37,539 --> 00:13:41,379
Look, let's not keep where he is a
secret it might upset your whole future.
183
00:13:41,439 --> 00:13:42,945
Put me through to him!
184
00:13:55,033 --> 00:13:56,719
You talk too much.
185
00:13:57,397 --> 00:13:59,189
Another treatment, Kelly?
186
00:14:00,453 --> 00:14:01,603
Any...
187
00:14:02,265 --> 00:14:04,750
Any second...breaks, Vince?
188
00:14:06,993 --> 00:14:09,176
I'm easy to do business with.
189
00:14:10,165 --> 00:14:11,520
If you talk...
190
00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:12,830
you live.
191
00:14:14,034 --> 00:14:16,865
All i want to hear is your
angle with Joe Williams.
192
00:14:19,271 --> 00:14:22,463
Give him a cigarette, Danny.
It'll relax him.
193
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:30,609
I'm...trusting you, Vince.
194
00:14:30,834 --> 00:14:32,792
Sure. Sure, Kelly.
195
00:14:33,474 --> 00:14:35,612
I told you we'd turn you loose.
196
00:14:35,672 --> 00:14:37,388
You understand how I...
197
00:14:37,569 --> 00:14:40,942
How a guy feels when he's been
kicked out of the organization?
198
00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:43,633
I know...
199
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:47,533
I shouldn't of been a sucker and
told Williams about the...
200
00:14:48,253 --> 00:14:50,828
...about the silver dollar.
-Forget that.
201
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,915
What did you tell him about this?
-Nothing!
202
00:14:56,455 --> 00:14:58,201
Nothing much, really.
203
00:14:59,044 --> 00:15:01,755
Vince!
-What did you tell him, Kelly?
204
00:15:01,815 --> 00:15:03,185
Really, Vince...
205
00:15:03,381 --> 00:15:04,931
Nothing important.
206
00:15:05,688 --> 00:15:06,757
Just...
207
00:15:07,178 --> 00:15:08,970
a little of this and...
208
00:15:09,527 --> 00:15:11,304
that about the...
209
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,532
about the slot machines and...
210
00:15:14,315 --> 00:15:16,333
and the take. But, I...
211
00:15:16,787 --> 00:15:18,564
I phonied the figures.
212
00:15:19,403 --> 00:15:22,550
Honest I did.
-These figures aren't phoney.
213
00:15:22,836 --> 00:15:24,447
Where'd you get 'em?
214
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,684
Snatched them out of your safe, Vince.
215
00:15:31,219 --> 00:15:33,192
Williams is waiting for 'em.
216
00:15:33,535 --> 00:15:37,359
He was going to bundle me out of town,
bring me back for the trial.
217
00:15:38,696 --> 00:15:42,083
But, I was gonna duck.
They never would of found me.
218
00:15:44,568 --> 00:15:46,480
That's the truth, Vince!
219
00:15:54,771 --> 00:15:56,021
Hello.
220
00:15:56,788 --> 00:15:58,264
Hello, Nina.
221
00:16:02,956 --> 00:16:05,242
You sure it's him?
-I was with him!
222
00:16:05,302 --> 00:16:08,524
First I saw him outside police
headquarters talking to Joe Williams,
223
00:16:08,584 --> 00:16:10,466
then I drove him to the Cortez.
224
00:16:10,689 --> 00:16:14,362
He cked in under the name
of Eddie Rice, room 304.
225
00:16:14,422 --> 00:16:15,552
Thanks.
226
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:37,164
You still want to take that trip, Kelly?
227
00:16:39,317 --> 00:16:41,560
You don't have to worry about me, Vince.
228
00:16:42,019 --> 00:16:43,028
Don.
229
00:16:44,194 --> 00:16:45,820
Big mouth Kelly.
230
00:16:46,257 --> 00:16:48,832
You think what he's got
may be contagious?
231
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:50,563
Very...catchy.
232
00:16:51,562 --> 00:16:54,648
What's your opinion, Don?
-Very, definitely.
233
00:16:56,621 --> 00:16:58,283
What can I do?
234
00:16:59,322 --> 00:17:01,686
The consultation's in agreement.
235
00:17:04,595 --> 00:17:05,769
Kelly!
236
00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:07,380
You're dead!
237
00:17:09,097 --> 00:17:10,527
Oh, and Kelly...
238
00:17:10,774 --> 00:17:14,749
When you get to where you're going,
have 'em give you a nice, even burn.
239
00:17:14,809 --> 00:17:17,579
Don't let them just fry you on one side.
240
00:18:01,054 --> 00:18:05,210
I'm sorry to bother you again, but..
has there been any sign of the girl yet?
241
00:18:07,876 --> 00:18:09,051
Thanks.
242
00:18:40,394 --> 00:18:42,743
Don't you believe in knocking on doors?
243
00:18:43,857 --> 00:18:45,814
Who are you? What do you want?
244
00:19:00,538 --> 00:19:02,661
So, that's where you've been hold up...
245
00:19:02,932 --> 00:19:04,498
Eddie Rice!
246
00:19:05,181 --> 00:19:08,990
No wonder I couldn't get a line on you.
Are you back sightseeing?
247
00:19:09,378 --> 00:19:10,854
Mr Rice?
248
00:19:13,052 --> 00:19:15,326
This supposed to be a free country?
249
00:19:15,684 --> 00:19:17,250
Free town?
250
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:18,951
Open to anyone?
251
00:19:19,011 --> 00:19:20,366
Not with me in it.
252
00:19:20,635 --> 00:19:23,240
You didn't waste much time
picking up with the cops.
253
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:27,395
Why should it worry you about
me talking to Williams?
254
00:19:27,455 --> 00:19:29,274
You've got me confused, Eddie.
255
00:19:29,771 --> 00:19:33,460
Only a sucker would walk back in
town after the deal you pulled.
256
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,979
Some things a fella has to...
257
00:19:37,401 --> 00:19:39,102
find out for himself.
258
00:19:40,096 --> 00:19:41,948
Not about you and me.
259
00:19:50,768 --> 00:19:53,283
I've been saving this for five years.
260
00:19:54,021 --> 00:19:57,378
Everyone in life has his bible,
this is mine.
261
00:19:58,978 --> 00:20:03,661
I take it out and read it every day. I read
it to remind me of a guy I grew up with.
262
00:20:03,917 --> 00:20:05,648
Got shoved around with.
263
00:20:06,277 --> 00:20:08,566
We used to take a lot of raps together.
264
00:20:09,439 --> 00:20:13,143
Some people would call a guy
like that a...a loyal friend.
265
00:20:13,968 --> 00:20:15,353
He was.
266
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:22,050
Until he turned into a dirty stool pigeon,
and let me take the rap for him!
267
00:20:38,866 --> 00:20:40,070
Eddie...
268
00:20:41,380 --> 00:20:42,811
Riccardi?
269
00:20:43,025 --> 00:20:47,105
My good friend who sold me out
to a cop named Joe Williams!
270
00:20:58,268 --> 00:21:00,541
Don't mess up his face too much.
271
00:21:03,876 --> 00:21:05,909
I ought to kill you, Eddie.
272
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:08,709
But, you're not worth taking
another rap for!
273
00:21:08,769 --> 00:21:11,058
In 24 hours...disappear!
274
00:21:11,935 --> 00:21:15,006
Otherwise, I might be tempted
to change my mind!
275
00:21:15,624 --> 00:21:17,205
Give him some air!
276
00:22:11,865 --> 00:22:14,153
<i>Why didn't the girl come back?</i>
277
00:22:15,523 --> 00:22:17,812
<i>What did she know about me?</i>
278
00:22:18,730 --> 00:22:20,808
<i>Why did she bring me here?</i>
279
00:22:21,847 --> 00:22:23,111
<i>Vince...</i>
280
00:22:24,060 --> 00:22:26,123
<i>Why didn't Vince kill me?</i>
281
00:22:27,402 --> 00:22:29,450
<i>Maybe I deserved it.</i>
282
00:22:30,625 --> 00:22:33,140
<i>Maybe Dr Kemble ought to know?</i>
283
00:22:34,224 --> 00:22:36,051
<i>I better tell him.</i>
284
00:22:37,226 --> 00:22:39,033
<i>I better call him.</i>
285
00:22:40,328 --> 00:22:41,908
<i>I better...</i>
286
00:22:44,659 --> 00:22:45,879
Hello.
287
00:22:46,391 --> 00:22:50,456
I want to put through a call, person
to person. Dr Kemble...
288
00:22:50,652 --> 00:22:53,392
Letterman Genral Hospital,
San Francisco.
289
00:22:54,435 --> 00:22:56,091
K-E-M-B-L-E
290
00:22:57,411 --> 00:22:58,736
Thank you.
291
00:23:14,170 --> 00:23:15,961
Hello, Dr Kemble?
292
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,812
When do you expect him back?
293
00:23:19,219 --> 00:23:20,920
Not till tomorrow?
294
00:23:22,121 --> 00:23:24,500
Never mind, I'll see him personally.
295
00:24:15,503 --> 00:24:18,780
Forget about Union Station.
Take me to 7 Braxton Avenue.
296
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:30,476
Wait for me.
297
00:24:51,762 --> 00:24:53,961
Thanks a lot Lou, for driving me home.
298
00:24:54,021 --> 00:24:57,393
Just a minute, darling.
I'll walk to the door with you.
299
00:24:58,990 --> 00:25:02,378
It's early, Nina. A little drink for
a nightcap won't hurt you.
300
00:25:02,589 --> 00:25:04,456
That's what you think.
301
00:25:04,516 --> 00:25:07,825
You could make me forget that
thousand I dropped tonight, Nina.
302
00:25:07,885 --> 00:25:11,182
I can forget a lot of things, Lou.
You, for instance.
303
00:25:11,242 --> 00:25:13,633
Good night.
-Just a minute, baby.
304
00:25:13,693 --> 00:25:16,328
I'd like a little receipt
for that grand.
305
00:25:19,246 --> 00:25:20,827
That's better.
306
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:25,539
That's your receipt. Good night.
307
00:25:45,117 --> 00:25:46,758
Now listen...
308
00:25:50,045 --> 00:25:51,461
Go ahead.
309
00:25:51,521 --> 00:25:53,237
Take a good look.
310
00:25:53,629 --> 00:25:58,055
If you came to tell me how Vince welcomed
you back, you've said it. So, goodbye!
311
00:25:58,673 --> 00:26:02,272
I want to know what you had
to do with me...in my life.
312
00:26:04,596 --> 00:26:06,057
And this.
313
00:26:10,473 --> 00:26:12,160
December the 24th,
314
00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:13,801
1943.
315
00:26:14,162 --> 00:26:16,120
Ah, that was a lovely Christmas.
316
00:26:16,903 --> 00:26:19,041
One I'll never forget.
317
00:26:24,136 --> 00:26:26,380
Only one of your presents!
318
00:26:29,297 --> 00:26:33,664
Sure, I told Vince Alexander
you're back. I work for him.
319
00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:39,946
This clipping...
320
00:26:40,955 --> 00:26:45,366
Why couldn't you testify at the trial?
-Oh, no routines, I've heard them all.
321
00:26:48,454 --> 00:26:51,436
Listen to me!
I'm just out of an army hospital
322
00:26:51,496 --> 00:26:54,507
with a piece of steel in my head
and no memory to go with it.
323
00:26:54,567 --> 00:26:57,756
I'm here to find out about myself and
I'm getting answers the hard way!
324
00:26:57,816 --> 00:27:00,677
I don't know you, Vince Alexander...
325
00:27:00,737 --> 00:27:05,055
or anybody called Eddie Riccardi!
All I know is one person, Eddie Rice! Me!
326
00:27:07,178 --> 00:27:09,391
You're the last person I can turn to.
327
00:27:10,472 --> 00:27:12,263
Please believe me.
328
00:27:12,850 --> 00:27:14,115
Help me.
329
00:27:16,584 --> 00:27:19,039
That's a very touching speech.
330
00:27:21,477 --> 00:27:23,901
You lost your memory.
331
00:27:24,564 --> 00:27:28,298
You don't know why I couldn't
testify at the trial.
332
00:27:28,529 --> 00:27:32,067
You've forgotten how you used me to
make sure Vince would go to prison
333
00:27:32,127 --> 00:27:33,829
so you'd be set free.
334
00:27:33,889 --> 00:27:37,966
But, if you're back to your old tricks
again I've got sad news for you,
335
00:27:38,026 --> 00:27:40,752
I tore up your raincheck
three years ago.
336
00:27:43,494 --> 00:27:45,587
I'm not your wife anymore.
337
00:28:05,380 --> 00:28:08,090
Now to the station?
-Back to the hotel.
338
00:28:47,065 --> 00:28:49,579
You act like a cop that just
lost a conviction?
339
00:28:49,639 --> 00:28:52,877
Maybe I have, take a look at these.
Fresh out of the photo lab.
340
00:28:54,339 --> 00:28:56,808
Sharks don't talk, the
fingerprints spell Kelly.
341
00:28:56,868 --> 00:28:59,413
The Coroner said he was dead two
hours before he hit the water.
342
00:28:59,473 --> 00:29:01,807
Too bad. With the information
Kelly had for us
343
00:29:01,867 --> 00:29:04,186
we could have put Vince
away for a long stretch.
344
00:29:05,335 --> 00:29:07,066
What's eating you, Joe?
345
00:29:07,563 --> 00:29:09,295
I was a smart cop.
346
00:29:09,355 --> 00:29:12,712
I put Petey away to get him off of
Kelly's tail, and this is what happens.
347
00:29:12,772 --> 00:29:14,594
I feel like I killed Kelly.
348
00:29:14,654 --> 00:29:16,897
Riccardi...think he's tied up in it?
349
00:29:16,957 --> 00:29:19,909
Walking back into town that day
could tie him up in anything.
350
00:29:20,237 --> 00:29:22,706
Is the case my baby?
-All yours.
351
00:29:24,916 --> 00:29:26,301
Now what?
352
00:29:26,361 --> 00:29:28,936
I figure we shouldn't keep
it a secret from Vince.
353
00:29:40,844 --> 00:29:43,087
Only six days in the week now, huh?
354
00:29:43,455 --> 00:29:46,557
How do you like that, the card
must have fell out.
355
00:29:46,617 --> 00:29:48,604
It was there yesterday. Nick...
356
00:29:48,664 --> 00:29:50,125
Who's Jane Doe?
357
00:29:50,185 --> 00:29:52,817
Please, Lieutenant. I don't look
at their birth certificate.
358
00:29:52,877 --> 00:29:55,075
Lots of people don't use
their right names.
359
00:29:55,135 --> 00:29:59,002
With me, a buck is a buck.
I don't ask questions.
360
00:29:59,318 --> 00:30:02,435
Before I'm through, Nick...
you'll be answering a few.
361
00:30:08,026 --> 00:30:12,377
It's gettin' so you can't tail a guy anymore
without having the cops jump on ya.
362
00:30:12,437 --> 00:30:14,666
This town's goin' to the dogs.
363
00:30:14,981 --> 00:30:18,143
Samson and me...
-Petey! Get that cat off the desk!
364
00:30:18,776 --> 00:30:22,133
I was just saying, Samson and
me could stand a vacation.
365
00:30:22,389 --> 00:30:25,340
You want us to blow town?
-That's just what I don't want.
366
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,047
Coke will set you up, and stay quiet!
367
00:30:28,107 --> 00:30:30,667
Well, sure Vince, sure.
Anything you say.
368
00:31:05,567 --> 00:31:06,922
Hello, Danny.
369
00:31:16,370 --> 00:31:18,327
Come in. Come in, Joe.
370
00:31:18,674 --> 00:31:22,543
Pull up a chair and rest your feet.
I hear you've had a busy day.
371
00:31:26,329 --> 00:31:29,099
I figured you would.
I was saving you for last.
372
00:31:30,183 --> 00:31:31,644
Should I...
373
00:31:31,930 --> 00:31:33,993
relax or call in my lawyer?
374
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:36,698
That depends on how nervous you are.
375
00:31:36,758 --> 00:31:39,529
I was always thought nervous
guys bit their nails?
376
00:31:39,589 --> 00:31:41,095
Now, let me see...
377
00:31:41,317 --> 00:31:44,675
Nick was a little bit hazy about
who Jane Doe was.
378
00:31:44,946 --> 00:31:47,144
I thought you might be able to tell me.
379
00:31:47,336 --> 00:31:49,113
Never heard of the girl.
380
00:31:49,173 --> 00:31:50,634
Then there's Petey.
381
00:31:50,694 --> 00:31:54,654
And how certain people got know where
and just when to bail him out.
382
00:31:54,714 --> 00:31:57,014
Now...nobody knows anything.
383
00:31:57,421 --> 00:31:58,912
But, we'll find him.
384
00:31:59,273 --> 00:32:01,863
We;ve got all exits out of town plugged.
385
00:32:03,697 --> 00:32:06,483
And I got a hunch he'll
be real cooperative.
386
00:32:06,769 --> 00:32:08,063
You see...
387
00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:10,698
I don't think he knows
anything about this.
388
00:32:11,090 --> 00:32:12,249
Kelly.
389
00:32:12,798 --> 00:32:15,162
He's gone and gotten himself killed.
390
00:32:15,915 --> 00:32:17,571
Just like Kelly...
391
00:32:17,842 --> 00:32:19,920
You never know what he'll do next.
392
00:32:20,191 --> 00:32:21,983
That goes for a lot of guys.
393
00:32:22,449 --> 00:32:23,910
Take you and...
394
00:32:24,482 --> 00:32:26,529
Then again, take Eddie Riccardi...
395
00:32:26,589 --> 00:32:29,962
You boys forgive and forget,
and back in business again.
396
00:32:31,037 --> 00:32:34,485
You and Riccardi got a lot in common,
why don't you ask him?
397
00:32:34,545 --> 00:32:36,352
At the moment, you're number one.
398
00:32:36,623 --> 00:32:40,281
And, it won't be any...manslaughter
charge and out in two years.
399
00:32:41,076 --> 00:32:43,048
I put you away this time...
400
00:32:43,334 --> 00:32:44,840
it'll be for keeps.
401
00:32:47,035 --> 00:32:50,031
You got all the answers figured
out, haven't you?
402
00:32:50,091 --> 00:32:52,636
I might have, sooner than you think.
403
00:32:53,959 --> 00:32:55,479
So sorry!
404
00:33:35,693 --> 00:33:39,292
Me, I never had a complaint.
You call my old boss.
405
00:33:39,352 --> 00:33:42,115
He'll tell you my bringing in 500
a night at the gambling tables
406
00:33:42,175 --> 00:33:44,344
was a small bag of tell.
407
00:33:45,169 --> 00:33:48,993
Oh, Mr Alexander! I just came in looking
for a job and I was telling Ms Martin...
408
00:33:49,053 --> 00:33:50,378
Get rid of her.
409
00:33:51,278 --> 00:33:55,238
Vince, we need some new talent...
-Okay! Okay! Come back at eight tonight.
410
00:33:55,298 --> 00:33:58,324
She'll tell you what to do.
-Oh, gee! Thanks!
411
00:34:01,806 --> 00:34:03,899
You know Eddie's still in town?
412
00:34:05,013 --> 00:34:06,172
Yes.
413
00:34:06,353 --> 00:34:08,024
Been around to see you?
414
00:34:09,667 --> 00:34:10,796
When?
415
00:34:11,534 --> 00:34:13,266
Late last night.
416
00:34:14,184 --> 00:34:16,548
Did he tell ya I gave him
24 hours to get out?
417
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,249
No.
418
00:34:19,872 --> 00:34:22,793
Well, I changed my mind.
I want him to stay.
419
00:34:23,049 --> 00:34:25,142
I want you to make sure he does stay.
420
00:34:26,876 --> 00:34:29,827
My job's to work the tables
for you here, Vince, and...
421
00:34:30,324 --> 00:34:34,961
I don't even mind setups like the one with
Petey or...other deals like that, but...
422
00:34:36,439 --> 00:34:37,613
Vince...
423
00:34:38,336 --> 00:34:40,534
Stay out of my personal life!
424
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:42,311
Listen you...
425
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,041
When Eddie dropped you, who picked
you up and gave you your health?
426
00:34:46,101 --> 00:34:49,053
Who gave you your job?
Everything you got?
427
00:34:49,459 --> 00:34:51,206
Vince Alexander!
428
00:34:52,806 --> 00:34:54,538
I won't do it, Vince.
429
00:34:54,598 --> 00:34:55,923
Forget Eddie.
430
00:34:55,983 --> 00:34:57,639
When I get through with him.
431
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,717
But, now you're gonna meet him.
432
00:35:00,715 --> 00:35:03,440
And, I want you to make sure
he does stay in town.
433
00:35:34,220 --> 00:35:35,566
What'll it be?
434
00:35:35,626 --> 00:35:37,854
Did five years make you
forget that easily?
435
00:35:37,914 --> 00:35:41,016
I told you...in five years you
can forget a lot of things.
436
00:35:41,076 --> 00:35:43,064
Something for the lady?
-Rob Roy, please.
437
00:35:43,124 --> 00:35:44,491
The same.
438
00:35:48,131 --> 00:35:50,932
What made you change your mind
about seeing me again?
439
00:35:54,897 --> 00:35:58,210
You know, finding out I was married
to you kind of threw me.
440
00:35:58,992 --> 00:36:02,169
It was even something the boys at
the hospital used to rib me about.
441
00:36:02,564 --> 00:36:05,605
They had me fixed up with a
wife and four or five kids.
442
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:09,881
They didn't know how close the
gag came to being true.
443
00:36:11,474 --> 00:36:13,672
You still don't believe me, do you?
444
00:36:21,056 --> 00:36:25,236
Maybe this'll convince you it was Eddie
Rice that rang your doorbell last night.
445
00:36:26,537 --> 00:36:29,909
Call Dr Kemble at Letterman's
Hospital in San Francisco.
446
00:36:31,007 --> 00:36:33,025
He'll tell you the whole story.
447
00:36:38,141 --> 00:36:39,767
Tha cigarette case...
448
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,323
Doesn't it mean anything to you?
449
00:36:47,468 --> 00:36:48,868
Should it?
450
00:36:54,926 --> 00:36:57,350
Suppose I did believe you, then what?
451
00:36:59,488 --> 00:37:03,569
Then, I'd try and make you forget that
Eddie Riccardi was ever in your life.
452
00:37:04,476 --> 00:37:06,403
You think you can do that?
453
00:37:07,216 --> 00:37:08,737
Eddie Rice can.
454
00:37:20,823 --> 00:37:22,570
Eddie, leave town.
455
00:37:24,533 --> 00:37:27,228
Now you're talking like Vince.
-Maybe I was yesterday.
456
00:37:27,288 --> 00:37:30,492
Don't ask me why, but go.
-Nina, I don't frighten easily.
457
00:37:30,552 --> 00:37:33,353
You can take that message back to Vince.
Tell him I'm staying!
458
00:37:33,413 --> 00:37:36,816
That's what he wants you to do. That's
why I'm here, to keep you from leaving.
459
00:37:36,876 --> 00:37:38,740
I'd hate to disappoint him then.
460
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,895
Eddie, don't be stubborn, I know Vince.
He doesn't do anything without a reason.
461
00:37:43,964 --> 00:37:45,530
Neither do I.
462
00:37:47,802 --> 00:37:52,590
Stay then! Get yourself beaten up again,
or killed. Do anything you want.
463
00:38:35,782 --> 00:38:38,267
Riccardi.
-Very interesting.
464
00:38:47,205 --> 00:38:48,936
Scotch over water.
465
00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:53,136
Lose something, Charlie?
466
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,406
Tell Nina Martin, Eddie wants to see her.
-Eddie who?
467
00:38:59,658 --> 00:39:01,103
Just Eddie.
468
00:39:01,630 --> 00:39:03,060
Wait here.
469
00:39:11,467 --> 00:39:12,943
What'll I need?
470
00:39:13,003 --> 00:39:15,653
A thousand might bring you luck.
-A thousand?
471
00:39:15,894 --> 00:39:17,475
Give me a thousand.
472
00:39:24,925 --> 00:39:27,891
A character called Eddie's outside,
wants to see you.
473
00:39:27,951 --> 00:39:29,412
Eddie here?
474
00:39:29,788 --> 00:39:31,204
Get rid of him!
475
00:39:31,425 --> 00:39:33,668
That's not what Vince had in mind.
476
00:39:43,422 --> 00:39:44,972
All right, come on.
477
00:39:53,097 --> 00:39:54,663
6...9...12!
478
00:39:54,919 --> 00:39:56,636
All bets down.
479
00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:04,549
It's a nice layout. Vince ought to be
able to pick up some fast money.
480
00:40:04,609 --> 00:40:07,063
You're crazy to come walking in here.
481
00:40:07,123 --> 00:40:09,273
Maybe I'm just hard to convince.
482
00:40:10,477 --> 00:40:12,374
My dressing room is back there.
483
00:40:13,925 --> 00:40:16,590
I'll be back before the
wheel stops turning.
484
00:40:34,853 --> 00:40:35,973
Yeah?
485
00:40:37,478 --> 00:40:38,939
Okay, thanks.
486
00:40:43,645 --> 00:40:45,813
So, she wanted to get rid of him.
487
00:40:47,179 --> 00:40:50,040
I wonder if that dame is trying
to pull a double cross.
488
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,129
Get down to the Golden Horn and pick up
Eddie Riccardi, you'll find him with Nina.
489
00:40:55,189 --> 00:40:56,270
Just him?
490
00:40:56,571 --> 00:40:57,746
Just him.
491
00:40:58,197 --> 00:41:00,110
I'll get around to her later.
492
00:41:03,747 --> 00:41:05,569
I started to leave...
493
00:41:05,794 --> 00:41:08,309
but I kept thinking about
everything you told me.
494
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,230
If I'd of left I'd been all the
things you said I was.
495
00:41:11,727 --> 00:41:13,232
So, I'm staying.
496
00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:17,505
And, I'm taking you out of here.
497
00:41:18,498 --> 00:41:19,673
Nina.
498
00:41:21,043 --> 00:41:23,436
We could have a decent life together.
499
00:41:26,553 --> 00:41:28,465
You got it all figured out.
500
00:41:31,452 --> 00:41:36,089
Well, you're not taking me anywhere.
You pushed me into this life and I like it.
501
00:41:36,481 --> 00:41:41,374
I'm top bait around here steering nice,
fat, pigeons to the gambling table.
502
00:41:41,434 --> 00:41:46,174
I'm one of Vince's kind now and I'm keeping
my life and my job just the way they are.
503
00:41:46,234 --> 00:41:48,026
No matter what I have to do!
504
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:49,934
Come on.
505
00:41:59,090 --> 00:42:00,144
Thanks.
506
00:42:10,804 --> 00:42:13,469
Now, how about some champagne?
507
00:42:14,389 --> 00:42:17,581
Excuse me for a minute, honey.
I forgot I got to call my wife.
508
00:42:32,729 --> 00:42:35,048
Williams, Homicide.
Yeah, Barnes.
509
00:42:36,509 --> 00:42:37,653
Yeah!
510
00:42:38,586 --> 00:42:39,881
Thanks a lot!
511
00:42:40,377 --> 00:42:41,898
What's exciting?
512
00:42:50,385 --> 00:42:54,646
I said, what's exciting? Or, don't
you want to wake me up?
513
00:42:55,138 --> 00:42:59,113
Barnes casing the Golden Horn for vice
intel, tells me Riccardi just walked in.
514
00:42:59,805 --> 00:43:01,266
Trouble maybe?
515
00:43:01,717 --> 00:43:04,924
I could think of plenty of reasons why
there might be for Eddie Rice.
516
00:43:05,478 --> 00:43:07,300
You'll hear from me later.
517
00:43:25,961 --> 00:43:28,189
How you coming with that
Kelly report, Ben?
518
00:43:28,249 --> 00:43:30,945
Just finishing up for you.
-Okay, I'll wait.
519
00:43:33,515 --> 00:43:36,586
Somebody must've believed in that
old gag about an apple a day.
520
00:43:36,646 --> 00:43:40,513
Yeah, but they didn't know it would pin
a murder on them. -Quite an appetite.
521
00:43:40,573 --> 00:43:43,253
Psychological, it creates
a false hunger.
522
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:50,156
Well, here you are, Joe.
I can go home now.
523
00:43:50,216 --> 00:43:53,454
Thanks a lot, Ben. See you tomorrow.
-Okay, see ya tomorrow.
524
00:44:06,875 --> 00:44:07,778
Yeah?
525
00:44:07,838 --> 00:44:10,970
I'm interested in Eddie Riccardi,
not in what's going on in there.
526
00:44:11,030 --> 00:44:13,680
We don't know from Riccardi.
-I do, open up.
527
00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:18,240
Place your bets, folks. Place your
bets. Bet high/low...odd or even.
528
00:44:38,711 --> 00:44:39,795
Yes?
529
00:44:39,990 --> 00:44:43,438
Miss Martin? Williams, Homicide.
May I come in please?
530
00:44:43,732 --> 00:44:44,982
Come in.
531
00:44:47,432 --> 00:44:50,820
Eddie was just picked up by Danny.
-Where'd he take him?
532
00:44:52,557 --> 00:44:54,424
You'll hear from me later.
533
00:45:14,826 --> 00:45:16,377
You know, Williams?
534
00:45:17,054 --> 00:45:19,524
I'm not used to cops with insomnia.
535
00:45:20,201 --> 00:45:22,791
What's on your mind?
-It won't take long.
536
00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:25,960
Danny picked up Eddie Riccardi.
Where are they?
537
00:45:27,537 --> 00:45:29,329
You're in an awful rut.
538
00:45:29,540 --> 00:45:31,497
Always asking questions.
539
00:45:31,557 --> 00:45:33,846
All right...let's start over.
540
00:45:34,581 --> 00:45:37,306
Eddie was at the Golden Horn
with Nina Martin.
541
00:45:37,366 --> 00:45:39,685
Suddenly, he wasn't there anymore.
542
00:45:40,208 --> 00:45:41,368
So...
543
00:45:41,578 --> 00:45:44,018
So...I don't mind waiting.
544
00:45:45,900 --> 00:45:48,053
While we kill a little time...
545
00:45:49,429 --> 00:45:51,176
This might interest you.
546
00:46:01,803 --> 00:46:05,733
And, after we pick up Riccardi...
we're going down to police headquarters.
547
00:46:06,034 --> 00:46:08,579
You're gonna have a manicure...on me.
548
00:46:10,294 --> 00:46:13,380
You know, you're gonna look awful
silly when I get through with you.
549
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,819
If I'm wrong...I'll apologize.
550
00:46:21,050 --> 00:46:23,264
Say hello, nothing more.
551
00:46:25,733 --> 00:46:26,862
Hello.
552
00:46:27,674 --> 00:46:31,408
Vince, we're at the shop. Do we
stay or bring Riccardi up there?
553
00:46:32,507 --> 00:46:34,238
Tell him you'll be down.
554
00:46:52,464 --> 00:46:53,699
Okay, Coke...
555
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,385
<i>Bring him up here.</i>
556
00:47:28,724 --> 00:47:30,530
What do you want now?
557
00:47:41,819 --> 00:47:44,605
Just when he was coming up
in the department.
558
00:49:14,591 --> 00:49:15,886
Car 9-4
559
00:49:15,946 --> 00:49:17,813
9-4 to Control-4.
560
00:49:17,873 --> 00:49:20,252
<i>Clear Frequency-4, this is an emergency.</i>
561
00:49:20,312 --> 00:49:23,126
Control-4 to 94, go ahead.
562
00:49:23,186 --> 00:49:25,099
<i>Car 94 to Control-4</i>
563
00:49:25,159 --> 00:49:29,209
<i>Notify the Homicide Bureau, we have found
the body of Lt Williams in his car.</i>
564
00:49:29,269 --> 00:49:31,133
At Sepulveda and Sunset.
565
00:50:17,423 --> 00:50:18,763
Give you a lift, son?
566
00:50:18,823 --> 00:50:21,485
Thanks, I had a little accident
back up a side road.
567
00:50:21,545 --> 00:50:24,556
I have to go to town, get a tow car.
-Anybody killed?
568
00:50:27,016 --> 00:50:29,561
No luck at all tonight.
Hop in.
569
00:50:39,349 --> 00:50:42,090
Bet you thought I wouldn't stop
to pick you up, didn't you?
570
00:50:42,150 --> 00:50:43,638
I didn't know.
571
00:50:43,698 --> 00:50:45,113
It's late.
-See...
572
00:50:45,173 --> 00:50:49,130
That's why I fooled you. Have me orders.
Pick up anybody, anytime.
573
00:50:49,747 --> 00:50:51,870
Green Acres Morticians policy.
574
00:50:52,094 --> 00:50:54,698
Live today...maybe a customer tomorrow.
575
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,400
Pays off too.
576
00:50:56,460 --> 00:50:59,848
Most people remember the nice things
you do for them while they're living.
577
00:50:59,908 --> 00:51:03,864
We sure don't get any complaints about our
service from them after they're dead.
578
00:51:03,924 --> 00:51:05,927
Their family, that is.
579
00:51:07,423 --> 00:51:09,441
That accident hurt you any?
580
00:51:10,992 --> 00:51:13,069
Got a match?
-Sure do.
581
00:51:19,645 --> 00:51:21,813
Police, ambulance and everything.
582
00:51:22,114 --> 00:51:24,312
I wonder if I'm losing any customers?
583
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:40,902
Finished with Joe's stuff yet?
-Still working on it.
584
00:51:43,326 --> 00:51:44,816
It's too bad...
585
00:51:45,434 --> 00:51:48,460
Joe's wife sure liked him
in that suit too.
586
00:52:13,311 --> 00:52:16,021
Any line on Riccardi yet?
-Nothing, Captain.
587
00:52:16,081 --> 00:52:19,710
Keep trying, he's the last one who
might of seen Joe. -Okay.
588
00:52:20,197 --> 00:52:21,718
Eddie Riccardi.
589
00:52:24,187 --> 00:52:26,445
Guess Williams was right after all.
590
00:52:26,701 --> 00:52:28,538
Riccardi or Rice.
591
00:52:28,826 --> 00:52:32,530
A Silver Star and a dumb look doesn't
change a no good heel.
592
00:52:33,147 --> 00:52:36,173
Attention all units!
Attention all units!
593
00:52:36,233 --> 00:52:40,175
Be on the lookout for the following
<i>described suspect, wanted for murder:</i>
594
00:52:40,551 --> 00:52:43,322
<i>Eddie Riccardi, alias Eddie Rice,</i>
595
00:52:43,589 --> 00:52:46,164
<i>White male, American,</i>
596
00:52:46,224 --> 00:52:49,341
<i>Age 33, 6 foot 2.</i>
597
00:52:49,729 --> 00:52:51,506
<i>190 lbs...</i>
598
00:52:51,957 --> 00:52:53,312
<i>Dark brown...</i>
599
00:52:53,659 --> 00:52:55,944
You phone the cops and do 'em a favor,
600
00:52:56,004 --> 00:53:00,024
where to find a dead cop and the guy
that did it, and what happens...
601
00:53:05,972 --> 00:53:08,035
The first stop is Nina Martin's.
602
00:53:08,276 --> 00:53:10,474
I want Eddie before the cops get him.
603
00:53:10,730 --> 00:53:12,913
Then they can have him for a present.
604
00:53:14,334 --> 00:53:15,915
And alive!
605
00:53:32,066 --> 00:53:33,843
Eddie!
-Shut up!
606
00:53:34,168 --> 00:53:36,065
Get those lights out!
607
00:53:37,285 --> 00:53:39,152
Eddie, what happened?
608
00:53:40,533 --> 00:53:43,951
You certainly did a neat job
of tying me into a murder.
609
00:53:44,011 --> 00:53:46,089
Joe Williams was killed tonight.
610
00:53:46,149 --> 00:53:47,901
You?
-I don't know.
611
00:53:47,961 --> 00:53:51,138
The last thing I remember was being slugged
over the head at Vince Alexander's.
612
00:53:51,198 --> 00:53:53,713
I know you think that...
-I haven't got time to think!
613
00:53:53,773 --> 00:53:57,811
All I want is a few bucks, your car and
you in my sight till I get out of here!
614
00:53:57,871 --> 00:53:59,874
Eddie, you've got to believe me!
615
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:01,335
Believe?
616
00:54:01,656 --> 00:54:03,508
Like you believed me?
617
00:54:03,885 --> 00:54:05,661
Give me the keys!
618
00:54:10,271 --> 00:54:14,017
Eddie! This is why I turned on you
tonight, to get you away from Vince.
619
00:54:14,077 --> 00:54:16,992
The keys are in the car, you go,
I'll try to stall them off.
620
00:54:17,224 --> 00:54:19,468
And get a bullet in the back of my head?
621
00:54:19,528 --> 00:54:22,404
Oh, Eddie! You've got to trust me,
it's your only chance.
622
00:54:24,815 --> 00:54:26,091
Quick!
623
00:54:26,444 --> 00:54:28,043
The garage.
624
00:55:25,770 --> 00:55:29,188
This is where you get out. -Go to the
police, Eddie. Before it's too late.
625
00:55:29,248 --> 00:55:32,400
With my fingerprints all over the
gun and all over Williams car?
626
00:55:32,460 --> 00:55:35,257
I wouldn't last long enough to walk
to the nearest police station.
627
00:55:35,317 --> 00:55:38,133
If I did what could I tell them?
Now out!
628
00:55:38,788 --> 00:55:41,737
You want me to go home and wait
for Vince to come back again?
629
00:55:41,797 --> 00:55:45,800
That's something Eddie Riccardo would
tell me to do, not Eddie Rice.
630
00:55:49,139 --> 00:55:50,606
All right.
631
00:56:06,538 --> 00:56:07,668
Stop.
632
00:56:11,312 --> 00:56:13,997
Keep your lights off and
the motor running.
633
00:56:57,233 --> 00:56:59,889
Well, now you've got a gun! What next?
634
00:57:01,213 --> 00:57:04,044
I didn't ask for any killings,
so I'm in the middle.
635
00:57:04,528 --> 00:57:07,711
But, I'm not going to be a clay
pigeon for Vince Alexander.
636
00:57:08,308 --> 00:57:10,513
You can't prove anything dead.
637
00:57:10,573 --> 00:57:14,597
That would make Vince very happy,
something I wouldn't want to let happen.
638
00:57:15,047 --> 00:57:18,758
Is there any place we could go, someone
you can trust to put us up for the night?
639
00:57:18,818 --> 00:57:20,299
I need time.
640
00:57:21,747 --> 00:57:23,404
Maybe there is.
641
00:57:23,464 --> 00:57:25,443
It's a long chance, but...
642
00:57:28,917 --> 00:57:31,763
You don't think you're going to
get away with this, do you?
643
00:57:32,276 --> 00:57:34,477
We're staying here till tomorrow.
644
00:57:42,766 --> 00:57:46,004
Stay away from that phone!
If it rings, let it keep ringing!
645
00:57:46,064 --> 00:57:48,953
Get rid of anybody who comes to
the door, I'll be right behind you
646
00:57:49,013 --> 00:57:50,845
in case you give the wrong answers.
647
00:57:55,517 --> 00:57:58,539
What about the girl's place?
-There and gone.
648
00:57:58,599 --> 00:58:02,705
Get a teletype out on her car immediately,
have it re-broadcast every half hour.
649
00:58:08,211 --> 00:58:10,661
I want roadblocks at all these points.
650
00:58:10,721 --> 00:58:12,705
I want the airport, the railroad station,
651
00:58:12,765 --> 00:58:15,536
all the bus terminals put
under a 24 surveillance.
652
00:58:15,596 --> 00:58:18,001
I want every hotel and
flophouse notified.
653
00:58:18,061 --> 00:58:20,818
They're in this town somewhere
and they're not getting out.
654
00:58:21,019 --> 00:58:22,354
One other thing...
655
00:58:22,414 --> 00:58:26,887
We picked up Riccardi's fingerprints on
that gun shop. He's got a gun now.
656
00:58:27,294 --> 00:58:29,421
Don't give him a chance to use it!
657
00:58:29,481 --> 00:58:31,284
All right, start moving.
658
00:58:31,344 --> 00:58:33,908
<i>The police tightened its dragnet
about the city today.</i>
659
00:58:33,968 --> 00:58:36,988
<i>Riccardi escaped just as the police
were ready to close in on him</i>
660
00:58:37,048 --> 00:58:39,197
<i>after they received an
anonymous phone call</i>
661
00:58:39,257 --> 00:58:42,292
<i>which led them to discover the murdered
body of one of their men today.</i>
662
00:58:42,352 --> 00:58:44,067
<i>Every available man...</i>
663
00:58:47,714 --> 00:58:49,958
We'll wait till it's dark
and get out of here.
664
00:58:50,018 --> 00:58:52,423
You couldn't arrange to
drop dead before then?
665
00:58:52,483 --> 00:58:55,606
Hazel, you've got to believe us.
Eddie didn't do it!
666
00:58:55,897 --> 00:58:57,936
He should still drop dead.
667
00:58:58,269 --> 00:58:59,604
Twice.
668
01:00:12,318 --> 01:00:13,477
Coke!
669
01:00:36,274 --> 01:00:38,401
Get me a couple of clean towels.
670
01:00:42,231 --> 01:00:43,771
It's pretty bad.
671
01:00:44,739 --> 01:00:49,052
I'll have you out of here in a minute,
we'll find a doctor. -Go to the police.
672
01:00:49,497 --> 01:00:51,448
Eddie, go to the police.
673
01:00:53,848 --> 01:00:55,961
Your car in the garage?
-Yes.
674
01:00:56,021 --> 01:00:58,704
Where are your keys?
-In my purse.
675
01:00:58,764 --> 01:01:00,288
Take care of her.
676
01:01:22,875 --> 01:01:23,843
Thanks.
677
01:01:23,903 --> 01:01:26,748
I'll have the doctor come right
in the moment he returns.
678
01:01:38,651 --> 01:01:40,602
Light me a cigarette.
679
01:02:02,498 --> 01:02:04,288
You're far away.
680
01:02:06,205 --> 01:02:07,614
How far?
681
01:02:09,418 --> 01:02:10,885
Five years.
682
01:02:11,545 --> 01:02:13,041
A lifetime.
683
01:02:14,259 --> 01:02:15,961
Beyond that, a blank.
684
01:02:17,162 --> 01:02:18,879
Me too, Eddie.
685
01:02:18,939 --> 01:02:21,270
Only, it's been a different
kind of a blank.
686
01:02:21,798 --> 01:02:24,453
It's being pushed back
to Eddie Riccardi.
687
01:02:24,937 --> 01:02:26,184
This.
688
01:02:26,811 --> 01:02:30,215
The whole past that keeps me
from being like other people.
689
01:02:30,992 --> 01:02:32,763
Now all that's left is
690
01:02:32,823 --> 01:02:36,460
wondering what it would be like if there
had only been an Eddie Rice.
691
01:02:38,540 --> 01:02:41,287
If I'd of just met you
for the first time.
692
01:02:43,087 --> 01:02:45,508
Eddie Rice can have that.
693
01:02:48,248 --> 01:02:50,610
Oh, you're...good, Eddie.
694
01:02:51,681 --> 01:02:53,368
You're good.
695
01:02:54,934 --> 01:02:57,622
You've taken away the hate in me.
696
01:02:58,176 --> 01:02:59,995
Destroyed it.
697
01:03:01,946 --> 01:03:03,912
You're...good, Eddie.
698
01:03:07,874 --> 01:03:10,573
When a baby wants to be born,
hours don't matter!
699
01:03:10,633 --> 01:03:12,554
7 poundsd 7ounces...a boy.
700
01:03:12,614 --> 01:03:14,549
Doctor, her shoulder...
701
01:03:29,779 --> 01:03:31,760
I can't treat gun wounds.
702
01:03:31,820 --> 01:03:34,679
She'll have to go to the police
emergency hospital.
703
01:03:34,739 --> 01:03:36,179
I don't think so.
704
01:03:36,239 --> 01:03:39,260
I'm sorry, but I've got to report
this to the police.
705
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:40,624
Doctor.
706
01:03:41,138 --> 01:03:43,191
That report to the police...
707
01:03:43,539 --> 01:03:44,918
It'll wait.
708
01:03:45,123 --> 01:03:47,368
If you want to pull that
trigger, go ahead.
709
01:03:49,535 --> 01:03:51,603
Police headquarters, please.
710
01:03:53,055 --> 01:03:56,092
Put that gun away! I said I was
going to call the police.
711
01:03:56,293 --> 01:03:57,775
Police headquarters?
712
01:03:57,980 --> 01:04:00,914
This is Dr Stacey, 93 Chestnut Street.
713
01:04:01,174 --> 01:04:03,492
Send an ambulance and a squad car.
714
01:04:09,003 --> 01:04:10,602
How bad is it?
715
01:04:14,534 --> 01:04:16,118
She'll be all right.
716
01:04:18,447 --> 01:04:20,262
You'd better leave.
717
01:04:27,035 --> 01:04:30,805
Eddie, I'm scared...I'm scared...
-Take it easy, you'll be all right.
718
01:04:30,865 --> 01:04:33,341
Not for me, for you.
-Listen...
719
01:04:33,531 --> 01:04:37,507
I'm leaving you for a little while.
I've got an idea, it might work.
720
01:04:37,567 --> 01:04:39,672
Something very important.
721
01:04:40,214 --> 01:04:44,395
You knew all about me. The people
I used to know, the places I went.
722
01:04:44,699 --> 01:04:46,855
Think for me, go back five years.
723
01:04:46,915 --> 01:04:51,110
Who was there? Just one person.
Give me the answers, quick!
724
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,289
What you say is my only chance,
the only chance I've got.
725
01:04:54,349 --> 01:04:58,231
The only one left is...Petey.
He can't be trusted with Vince.
726
01:04:58,291 --> 01:05:01,337
Where will I find him?
-Not him, he's... -Tell me!
727
01:05:01,759 --> 01:05:04,457
Two, three places on Main Street.
728
01:05:05,198 --> 01:05:07,034
Fourth and Main...
729
01:05:07,094 --> 01:05:10,091
And after Nina ran in front of him,
Coke never had a chance.
730
01:05:10,151 --> 01:05:11,748
That Eddie sure didn't miss.
731
01:05:11,808 --> 01:05:14,345
Coke took three, went right through
his breakfast, lunch and supper.
732
01:05:14,405 --> 01:05:16,575
Anybody come around, ask any questions?
733
01:05:16,635 --> 01:05:19,900
None I couldn't answer, Vince.
-Get back down and keep him company.
734
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,570
But...but, the police?
-That's exactly what I want!
735
01:05:22,630 --> 01:05:25,559
Tell him how Riccardi broke into your
apartment, found Coke there
736
01:05:25,619 --> 01:05:28,727
pulled his gun and fired. Now do
what I told you, just that!
737
01:05:29,035 --> 01:05:31,250
All right, Vince.
-Take her back!
738
01:05:35,048 --> 01:05:37,293
Eddie's got to find a doctor somewhere.
739
01:05:37,484 --> 01:05:39,581
And, if he does what I think, he'll...
740
01:05:39,772 --> 01:05:42,295
dump the girl...and start looking
for a hidewaway.
741
01:05:43,785 --> 01:05:44,973
Get going!
742
01:05:45,033 --> 01:05:48,039
Spread the news I got a personal
interest in Eddie Riccardi.
743
01:05:48,099 --> 01:05:50,870
I don't want anything to happen
to him...until I get there.
744
01:05:51,389 --> 01:05:53,443
Unless the cops get him first.
745
01:05:54,467 --> 01:05:57,841
You through with him, Doc?
-Yup. He was a fine specimen.
746
01:05:57,901 --> 01:06:00,041
Would have had a long life
if this hadn't happened.
747
01:06:00,101 --> 01:06:02,051
I'll send you my report in the morning.
748
01:06:05,694 --> 01:06:08,335
I'm sure you don't mind coming
downtown, Miss Downs?
749
01:06:08,395 --> 01:06:10,477
Well, I...
-I thought not.
750
01:06:12,659 --> 01:06:14,859
What'd you find?
-It was them all right.
751
01:06:14,919 --> 01:06:17,471
Riccardi left the doctor's office
about 30 minutes ago
752
01:06:17,531 --> 01:06:20,830
Notify Communications? -They're blanketing
the whole area. -The girl?
753
01:06:20,890 --> 01:06:25,608
County Jail Hospital. Still out, whether
she's playing it safe or just not talking.
754
01:06:25,668 --> 01:06:29,085
Keep Melon there, the minute she comes
out, I want to know. -Any ideas?
755
01:06:29,145 --> 01:06:31,970
Lots! We need Riccardi to
explain some of them.
756
01:06:32,157 --> 01:06:34,196
If he lives that long.
757
01:06:38,347 --> 01:06:41,120
Hello. I'm looking for Petey,
have you seen him?
758
01:06:42,691 --> 01:06:44,671
Do you know where to find him?
759
01:06:57,552 --> 01:07:00,780
<i>Nina said three or four places,
I must have hit twenty.</i>
760
01:07:01,245 --> 01:07:03,196
<i>And every answer the same.</i>
761
01:07:03,710 --> 01:07:04,810
<i>No.</i>
762
01:07:05,803 --> 01:07:08,605
<i>The shake of their head,
a frightened face.</i>
763
01:07:10,111 --> 01:07:14,043
<i>They knew where I could find what I was
looking for, but they wouldn't talk.</i>
764
01:07:14,483 --> 01:07:16,141
<i>They were scared.</i>
765
01:08:08,257 --> 01:08:11,660
But, Vince! Appreciate the fact
that at least I called you.
766
01:08:11,961 --> 01:08:14,015
I let him stay, it's another rap.
767
01:08:14,075 --> 01:08:17,623
Another rap, I get life! You've
got to appreciate that!
768
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,296
And I'd appreciate it if you'd
tell me where to find Petey.
769
01:08:24,044 --> 01:08:25,306
Right now!
770
01:08:25,366 --> 01:08:26,758
Sure, Eddie.
771
01:08:27,096 --> 01:08:28,152
Sure.
772
01:08:34,841 --> 01:08:36,822
Ocean Boulevard and 25th.
773
01:09:43,996 --> 01:09:46,490
Who's there? Who is it?
-Eddie.
774
01:09:47,355 --> 01:09:48,910
Eddie Riccardi.
775
01:09:49,277 --> 01:09:52,886
Oh, Eddie boy. Every cop in the
city is out gunning for you!
776
01:09:53,350 --> 01:09:55,403
Maybe you don't care if you live...
777
01:09:55,711 --> 01:09:57,604
I got a few more years left!
778
01:09:57,839 --> 01:09:59,526
Open the door, Petey.
779
01:10:00,083 --> 01:10:01,799
You're dead if you don't.
780
01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:04,769
All right, Eddie.
781
01:10:12,804 --> 01:10:15,914
You didn't think I'd leave you out
there in the cold, did you Eddie?
782
01:10:16,545 --> 01:10:20,550
Five years, no see! But, you sure got
a hot fire burning under you, huh?
783
01:10:21,019 --> 01:10:22,105
Yeah.
784
01:10:24,891 --> 01:10:26,900
You need a pal, a friend.
785
01:10:30,025 --> 01:10:32,240
Sure, I need a friend, Petey.
786
01:10:32,483 --> 01:10:36,263
Look, old friend... Will you...will
you put that mouthpiece away?
787
01:10:36,323 --> 01:10:39,153
Somehow I...I still believe they go off!
788
01:10:39,926 --> 01:10:42,669
And, Samson my cat, you remember my cat?
789
01:10:44,180 --> 01:10:46,439
He's not feeling too good again.
790
01:10:46,949 --> 01:10:49,545
You stay careful and
nothing will happen.
791
01:10:49,605 --> 01:10:53,110
Oh sure. Sure, Eddie. You're
talking to Petey, remember?
792
01:10:53,340 --> 01:10:55,746
Any objections to my moving in with you?
793
01:10:56,025 --> 01:10:58,416
I'll be gone, tomorrow or the next day.
794
01:10:58,476 --> 01:11:01,771
Oh, me? Turn away practically,
my own flesh and blood?
795
01:11:03,341 --> 01:11:04,822
Relax, Eddie.
796
01:11:08,491 --> 01:11:11,308
There you are, Eddie. Nothing's
too good for you.
797
01:11:12,355 --> 01:11:16,154
How about some food, Petey?
I haven't eaten all night.
798
01:11:16,536 --> 01:11:18,370
You haven't changed a bit.
799
01:11:18,590 --> 01:11:20,086
Always hungry!
800
01:11:20,146 --> 01:11:22,022
Still tied up with Vince?
801
01:11:24,002 --> 01:11:27,670
I do a little private eyeing on the side.
A job here, a job there.
802
01:11:28,007 --> 01:11:29,284
Nothing big.
803
01:11:31,150 --> 01:11:32,705
I'll telephone.
804
01:11:43,749 --> 01:11:47,358
Hello, friend? Petey! I got
a special customer.
805
01:11:47,828 --> 01:11:49,852
Yeah. Yeah, an old one.
806
01:11:50,881 --> 01:11:54,094
How about sending something over?
He's tired and hungry.
807
01:11:54,813 --> 01:11:56,778
A pot of coffee and a sandwich.
808
01:11:56,969 --> 01:11:58,011
Turkey.
809
01:11:58,266 --> 01:11:59,352
Tongue
810
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:01,684
Egg salad combination.
811
01:12:02,638 --> 01:12:04,442
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
812
01:12:05,543 --> 01:12:06,863
You got it.
813
01:12:12,752 --> 01:12:16,068
You see, Eddie? Everything's
just like old times.
814
01:12:16,655 --> 01:12:18,474
If you say so, Petey.
815
01:12:20,114 --> 01:12:21,948
I'm gettin' kinda sleepy.
816
01:12:22,271 --> 01:12:25,308
You just make yourself at home,
food will be along pretty soon.
817
01:12:25,368 --> 01:12:28,183
Vince has gotten to be a big
man the last five years.
818
01:12:28,675 --> 01:12:31,168
I'm really gettin' pretty tired, friend.
819
01:12:31,228 --> 01:12:33,457
Why don't you bring me
up to date, Petey?
820
01:12:33,517 --> 01:12:35,247
I'm really awful tired, friend!
821
01:12:35,307 --> 01:12:37,501
How long will it take Vince to get here?
822
01:12:37,971 --> 01:12:40,861
Eddie...Eddie, you...you embarrass me.
823
01:12:41,135 --> 01:12:43,834
I'll kill you if you don't give
it to me straight, Petey!
824
01:12:43,894 --> 01:12:47,047
Eddie...Eddie, don't talk like that.
Samson's sick!
825
01:12:47,543 --> 01:12:50,403
I'm telling you, Eddie!
-What are you telling me? How long?
826
01:12:50,463 --> 01:12:53,557
Five minutes? Ten? Fifteen minutes?
Twenty minutes?
827
01:12:54,096 --> 01:12:57,015
About...about fifteen minutes, Eddie.
828
01:12:57,323 --> 01:13:00,902
Vince puts you on the spot!
He's that way with all the boys!
829
01:13:01,162 --> 01:13:04,781
Blow Eddie! Take me with you.
You and me was always friends!
830
01:13:04,841 --> 01:13:08,273
You just stay in front of me and keep your
mouth shut and you won't get into trouble.
831
01:13:08,333 --> 01:13:11,265
Sure, Eddie! You got nothing
to worry about from me.
832
01:13:11,325 --> 01:13:14,361
Just stay my friend, Petey.
-Yeah, Eddie.
833
01:13:27,837 --> 01:13:29,935
You're retired, you can go home now.
834
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:32,601
Your friend want a ride?
-Not tonight.
835
01:13:34,995 --> 01:13:36,151
$2.80
836
01:13:36,711 --> 01:13:39,616
This will get you a thousand.
Come on, Petey.
837
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,005
Take care of Petey.
838
01:15:45,187 --> 01:15:46,434
Eddie!
839
01:15:46,625 --> 01:15:48,165
Let's get out of here!
840
01:15:49,661 --> 01:15:51,158
Go ahead, Petey.
841
01:15:51,610 --> 01:15:52,974
Thanks, Eddie.
842
01:15:54,148 --> 01:15:55,615
They're coming!
843
01:18:02,988 --> 01:18:04,191
Eddie.
844
01:18:04,792 --> 01:18:06,274
Can you hear me?
845
01:18:09,079 --> 01:18:10,898
We can make a break.
846
01:18:11,558 --> 01:18:13,319
Cover for each other.
847
01:18:14,096 --> 01:18:15,739
I got a place.
848
01:18:17,148 --> 01:18:18,820
You and me, Eddie.
849
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,342
We'll start up again.
850
01:18:22,914 --> 01:18:25,056
Just like old times.
851
01:18:30,072 --> 01:18:31,671
I got money, Eddie.
852
01:18:32,992 --> 01:18:34,327
Big money!
853
01:18:37,521 --> 01:18:39,355
Samson! Samson!
854
01:18:39,986 --> 01:18:41,159
Samson!
855
01:18:43,096 --> 01:18:44,841
Petey! Come back!
856
01:18:46,807 --> 01:18:47,908
Samson.
857
01:18:48,318 --> 01:18:50,446
Samson, baby. Samson.
858
01:19:47,773 --> 01:19:50,091
Riccardi! Alexander!
859
01:19:50,292 --> 01:19:53,813
We'll give you three minutes to come out.
We're gonna start counting.
860
01:19:54,135 --> 01:19:57,920
At the end of three minutes if you're
not out, we're coming to get you!
861
01:19:58,429 --> 01:20:00,600
This is your last chance, Eddie.
862
01:20:01,862 --> 01:20:04,121
There's just you and me left now.
863
01:20:04,181 --> 01:20:05,676
No deal, Vince.
864
01:20:06,455 --> 01:20:08,538
I know you killed Joe Williams.
865
01:20:08,978 --> 01:20:10,357
Okay...
866
01:20:11,516 --> 01:20:13,071
No deals.
867
01:21:51,795 --> 01:21:54,993
We want you, Riccardi..
Alive, Alexander!
868
01:21:55,595 --> 01:21:58,646
If you're in there and not wounded,
bring Riccardi out.
869
01:21:59,653 --> 01:22:03,761
You, Riccardi! If you're alone, come
out with your hands in the air!
870
01:22:06,712 --> 01:22:09,176
Here's when you and I part company.
871
01:22:09,396 --> 01:22:12,081
You're gonna get paid off in full.
872
01:22:41,345 --> 01:22:43,574
Thanks for bringing him out, Vince.
873
01:22:43,853 --> 01:22:47,169
Now, drop your gun.
I said drop your gun, Vince!
874
01:22:49,233 --> 01:22:51,932
Eddie will take what I
got first, Anderson!
875
01:22:54,015 --> 01:22:56,568
All police officers hold your fire!
876
01:22:57,552 --> 01:22:59,532
Don't be crazy, Alexander.
877
01:22:59,899 --> 01:23:02,774
There have been enough people killed.
Give yourself up.
878
01:23:02,834 --> 01:23:04,491
No bargains, Anderson!
879
01:23:04,551 --> 01:23:06,487
You want Riccardi alive...
880
01:23:06,547 --> 01:23:07,866
I want out!
881
01:23:07,926 --> 01:23:10,682
What guarantee have I got that
you won't kill Riccardi?
882
01:23:10,742 --> 01:23:13,250
You don't!
-Be sensible, Alexander.
883
01:23:13,979 --> 01:23:16,854
If we let you out now,
we'll get you later.
884
01:23:17,089 --> 01:23:19,040
You'll be dead before morning.
885
01:23:19,245 --> 01:23:21,930
You got 30 seconds to make
up your mind, Anderson!
886
01:23:22,688 --> 01:23:24,053
I go...
887
01:23:24,361 --> 01:23:26,415
or Riccardi gets it in the back!
888
01:23:29,595 --> 01:23:31,388
Sat down, Eddie! Don't move!
889
01:24:05,464 --> 01:24:06,711
Is he dead?
890
01:24:06,771 --> 01:24:09,234
He will be if we don't get
him to a hospital.
891
01:24:15,716 --> 01:24:19,090
That taxi driver must have really
gotten to you in a hurry.
892
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,980
He did, asking for a $1000 reward.
893
01:24:22,337 --> 01:24:26,826
And all the questions you want to ask...
I called Dr Kemble from San Francisco.
894
01:24:27,149 --> 01:24:31,242
We knew Vince killed Jow Williams,
we found his blood on Joe's clothing.
895
01:24:31,604 --> 01:24:34,435
It matched up with our
lab files, yours didn't.
896
01:24:34,740 --> 01:24:37,351
And, Hazel told us the truth about Coke.
897
01:24:37,747 --> 01:24:41,254
Now, just get well. We'll finish
our business later.
898
01:24:42,217 --> 01:24:43,391
Nina...
899
01:24:43,451 --> 01:24:45,782
She's fine...in the waiting room.
900
01:25:05,063 --> 01:25:08,173
You shouldn't kiss a guy like
that when he's sick in bed.
901
01:25:10,205 --> 01:25:14,254
Well, I've been waiting outside all the
time. They wouldn't tell me anything.
902
01:25:14,314 --> 01:25:15,970
I was afraid...
903
01:25:17,151 --> 01:25:18,647
It's all right.
904
01:25:19,674 --> 01:25:21,170
We'll go away.
905
01:25:21,230 --> 01:25:24,222
We'll find that...crazy world of yours.
906
01:25:25,698 --> 01:25:27,151
Sure.
907
01:25:30,408 --> 01:25:32,373
There's only one thing...
908
01:25:33,675 --> 01:25:35,494
You'll always be...
909
01:25:35,758 --> 01:25:37,298
Eddie Rice.
910
01:25:38,853 --> 01:25:40,540
For the rest of my life.
911
01:25:40,990 --> 01:25:43,059
I have the doc's word for him.
912
01:25:44,673 --> 01:25:46,110
Come here.
|
After sustaining a head wound in combat, decorated World War II veteran Eddie Rice (John Payne) is treated at a San Francisco military hospital for a permanent form of amnesia. This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.
Rice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely.

1
00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556
This is the Letterman General Hosiptal
at San Francisco, California.
2
00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219
For those outside these gates the
war is over, a thing of the past.
3
00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888
For those behind these gates there's a
grim, hard, bitter fight still going on.
4
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518
Take one case, the case
of Eddie Rice, age 33.
5
00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206
Enlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.
Holder of the Silver Star, but today...
6
00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026
A name and date number, a medical file.
For five years a chart on a hospital bed.
7
00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340
A victim of amnesia.
A mind with a blocked out past.
8
00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127
Where were you born, Eddie?
Who are your parents?
9
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912
Any brothers? Sisters?
10
00:01:54,277 --> 00:01:58,775
Where did you go to school?
What's your trade? Profession?
11
00:01:59,433 --> 00:02:01,748
Are you rich?
Poor?
12
00:02:02,051 --> 00:02:03,689
Got a girl?
13
00:02:03,915 --> 00:02:05,289
Married?
14
00:02:05,349 --> 00:02:06,869
I don't know.
15
00:02:07,378 --> 00:02:09,015
I don't know!
16
00:02:09,824 --> 00:02:11,537
I can't remember.
17
00:02:12,444 --> 00:02:14,571
I just can't remember, doctor.
18
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:30,922
You had me open. What did you quit for?
-We did the best we could, Eddie.
19
00:02:31,218 --> 00:02:33,439
It'll just have to stay there.
20
00:02:34,606 --> 00:02:38,483
Is that final?
-Unless you want your name on a headstone.
21
00:02:38,543 --> 00:02:43,592
That shrapnel's too deep in your brain.
Scar tissue has grown all around it.
22
00:02:43,652 --> 00:02:46,980
Believe me, we tried.
-Yeah, I guess you did.
23
00:02:48,391 --> 00:02:52,551
Where do I go from here?
-Eddie, there are two kinds of amnesia:
24
00:02:52,611 --> 00:02:54,895
psychological and organic.
25
00:02:55,178 --> 00:03:00,240
The psychological form is temporary, but
it can be cured through psychotherapy.
26
00:03:01,016 --> 00:03:03,876
Yours is organic, it's permanent.
27
00:03:04,347 --> 00:03:07,772
That piece of steel in your brain
has blocked out your memory.
28
00:03:07,832 --> 00:03:10,863
Which doesn't leave me much
of a future, does it?
29
00:03:10,923 --> 00:03:15,071
Of course it does, physically
you're normal and healthy.
30
00:03:15,131 --> 00:03:17,771
You've received the maximum
medical benefits
31
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:22,559
You've completed training courses that make
you fit to hold down a job and face life.
32
00:03:23,499 --> 00:03:26,540
With no address, no next
of kin, nothing.
33
00:03:27,489 --> 00:03:29,567
Enlisted from Los Angeles...
34
00:03:29,627 --> 00:03:32,397
Intelligence ran that down
for us, remember?
35
00:03:32,867 --> 00:03:35,818
Oh sure, there were a lot of
people named Rice there...
36
00:03:36,026 --> 00:03:37,682
but not this Eddie Rice.
37
00:03:37,742 --> 00:03:41,777
But, Army Intelligence didn't mow
Los Angeles lawns as a kid, Eddie.
38
00:03:41,837 --> 00:03:44,292
They didn't trade at the corner market.
39
00:03:44,352 --> 00:03:48,775
They didn't work with people in a factory,
in an office, as you might have done.
40
00:03:48,986 --> 00:03:50,136
Now...
41
00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:54,081
If you went down there...and ran
into somebody who knew you,
42
00:03:54,141 --> 00:03:55,918
just one person...
43
00:03:56,384 --> 00:03:57,694
Yes...
44
00:03:58,992 --> 00:04:01,702
If I ran into just one person
who knew me.
45
00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:03,689
One guy...
46
00:04:04,785 --> 00:04:07,149
Who would come up to me and say:
47
00:04:07,616 --> 00:04:08,775
"Eddie."
48
00:04:08,986 --> 00:04:10,491
"Eddie Rice."
49
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:12,253
"How have you been?"
50
00:04:12,581 --> 00:04:14,132
"Where have you been?"
51
00:04:14,192 --> 00:04:15,577
That's it, Eddie.
52
00:04:15,637 --> 00:04:18,766
And then, they'd tell me about
someone else I used to know.
53
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:21,626
And, I'd meet somebody else.
54
00:04:22,635 --> 00:04:24,141
And another...
55
00:04:25,342 --> 00:04:26,908
And another...
56
00:04:57,774 --> 00:05:00,996
<i>Sure, it scares you to go out into
a world you don't remember...</i>
57
00:05:01,484 --> 00:05:02,959
<i>but you're here now.</i>
58
00:05:03,742 --> 00:05:05,473
<i>It'll be a new life.</i>
59
00:05:05,805 --> 00:05:07,295
<i>A new start.</i>
60
00:05:08,231 --> 00:05:10,189
<i>Find yourself a place to live.</i>
61
00:05:10,957 --> 00:05:12,613
<i>Get yourself a job.</i>
62
00:05:13,290 --> 00:05:14,540
<i>Get going.</i>
63
00:05:15,353 --> 00:05:16,919
<i>Get going, Eddie!</i>
64
00:05:19,198 --> 00:05:20,357
Eddie!
65
00:05:20,417 --> 00:05:22,736
You know, it's a small world, Eddie.
66
00:05:22,796 --> 00:05:25,266
We came down here to pick
up a little of one thing,
67
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:28,650
and we ran into a little of another!
-A lot of us thought you were dead.
68
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:32,851
Yes, and...those that didn't hoped you
were. What are you doing in town?
69
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,642
I'm just in from San Francisco.
70
00:05:36,702 --> 00:05:40,060
I didn't ask you that.
-He asked you what you were doing in town.
71
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,354
I cam here to look up some...people.
72
00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:45,989
Funny, I...I had a feeling that was it.
73
00:05:46,049 --> 00:05:48,443
Anderson one of them?
-Anderson?
74
00:05:49,719 --> 00:05:50,698
Maybe.
75
00:05:50,758 --> 00:05:54,251
I think you're lying, Eddie. I don't think you
were gonna look up Anderson at all.
76
00:05:54,311 --> 00:05:57,458
Barrett, do you think he was gonna
look up Anderson? -No, Joe.
77
00:05:57,699 --> 00:06:00,108
Not Anderson.
-I'll tell you what...
78
00:06:00,168 --> 00:06:02,737
I got a car and nothing
to do for a while...
79
00:06:02,797 --> 00:06:05,478
Let's go see Anderson together.
Any objections?
80
00:06:07,616 --> 00:06:09,016
No objections.
81
00:06:09,076 --> 00:06:11,256
Stick around, Kelly may still show.
82
00:06:11,452 --> 00:06:12,506
Let's go.
83
00:06:35,122 --> 00:06:37,667
'Honorable discharge of Edward Rice.'
84
00:06:41,972 --> 00:06:43,568
What's the gimmick?
85
00:06:44,110 --> 00:06:46,399
If you'd put away your blackjacks
long enough
86
00:06:46,459 --> 00:06:48,431
maybe I could get it through
your heads that...
87
00:06:48,491 --> 00:06:50,714
I don't know what you're talking about.
88
00:06:50,774 --> 00:06:52,912
You got yourself a sense
of humor, Eddie.
89
00:06:52,972 --> 00:06:56,010
You think you come back here with
a dumb look and a Silver Star...
90
00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:58,958
That changes a no good heel?
-But, I'm trying to tell you that...
91
00:06:59,018 --> 00:07:01,382
You don't have to tell us
anything about yourself.
92
00:07:01,442 --> 00:07:03,881
We got it all down in black and white.
93
00:07:06,019 --> 00:07:07,630
Read it, Riccardi.
94
00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:09,313
We didn't dream it up.
95
00:07:09,795 --> 00:07:12,355
Possession of a weapon
with intent to kill.
96
00:07:12,882 --> 00:07:14,553
Suspicion of murder.
97
00:07:17,184 --> 00:07:18,566
<i>Riccardi...</i>
98
00:07:19,274 --> 00:07:20,960
<i>Eddie Riccardi.</i>
99
00:07:21,638 --> 00:07:25,236
<i>That's not me, it can't be.
It only looks like me!</i>
100
00:07:26,348 --> 00:07:29,103
<i>I better get out of here!
I've got to get out!</i>
101
00:07:29,163 --> 00:07:33,093
Five years ago we hustled you out of town,
for good. Now what are you here for?
102
00:07:34,253 --> 00:07:35,939
<i>You've got to play ball.</i>
103
00:07:35,999 --> 00:07:39,153
<i>You need time. You need more
time to find out about yourself.</i>
104
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,894
Riccardi's just playing dumb, Captain.
105
00:07:42,556 --> 00:07:44,122
Put him in the lockup.
106
00:07:44,498 --> 00:07:47,085
I'm finding about these...
discharge papers.
107
00:07:47,145 --> 00:07:49,358
If they're phonies, we'll pin a
real one on him.
108
00:07:49,418 --> 00:07:50,999
Just a minute, Lieutenant.
109
00:07:52,426 --> 00:07:56,627
I guess, maybe I didn't want the army
to know about Eddie...Riccardi.
110
00:07:57,317 --> 00:08:00,133
The only friends I have
know me as Eddie Rice.
111
00:08:00,916 --> 00:08:02,813
I'd like to keep it that way.
112
00:08:03,219 --> 00:08:05,945
That's probably the first honest
thing you've ever said.
113
00:08:06,005 --> 00:08:07,537
Pick up your things.
114
00:08:10,967 --> 00:08:14,008
Be Eddie Rice in some other
town, but not here.
115
00:08:14,068 --> 00:08:18,540
Now, we can't hold you, but...you step
out of line once and we step on you.
116
00:08:26,034 --> 00:08:28,278
Notice anything different
about him, Williams?
117
00:08:28,338 --> 00:08:31,138
Nothing! If Riccardi stays in town
there's gonna be trouble.
118
00:08:31,198 --> 00:08:34,210
I don't know. He had a strange
look about him.
119
00:08:34,667 --> 00:08:37,934
Send to Washington for a complete
report on Edward Rice.
120
00:08:37,994 --> 00:08:40,870
That Silver Star, you really
do something to get one.
121
00:08:40,930 --> 00:08:43,686
Yeah, buy it in a pawn
shop for two bits.
122
00:09:01,270 --> 00:09:04,944
Nina, my sweet!
My beautiful, lovely...
123
00:09:05,004 --> 00:09:07,609
All right, Nick! Let's keep
it all business.
124
00:09:10,063 --> 00:09:13,240
Who is it this time?
-Petey. Suspicion of robbery.
125
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:16,251
Get him out before they start
shifting him around. -Petey?
126
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:17,588
Him?
127
00:09:17,648 --> 00:09:19,726
He wouldn't steal his own shadow.
128
00:09:19,786 --> 00:09:22,056
That was William's gag to get
him out of the way.
129
00:09:22,116 --> 00:09:25,670
I wouldn't know. Bail's $1000.
-Inflation!
130
00:09:25,730 --> 00:09:27,823
That's the whole trouble these days.
131
00:09:28,847 --> 00:09:30,714
Alexander, he unhappy?
132
00:09:31,252 --> 00:09:34,188
Nick. Keep your mind on your business.
133
00:09:34,248 --> 00:09:36,233
Let Vince worry about his, huh?
134
00:09:36,293 --> 00:09:39,259
Sure, beautiful Sure.
Forget I mentioned it.
135
00:09:53,907 --> 00:09:55,970
Take my advice, you leave town.
136
00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:57,837
I've got things to do.
137
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,125
Adios, boy! You're on your own.
138
00:10:04,466 --> 00:10:05,941
Kelly never showed.
139
00:10:06,001 --> 00:10:07,071
Odd.
140
00:10:07,131 --> 00:10:08,606
We'll hear from him.
141
00:10:18,132 --> 00:10:20,074
One of the usual fronts?
142
00:10:21,098 --> 00:10:24,064
You have a lot of Jane Does, Nick.
Use one of them.
143
00:10:26,732 --> 00:10:28,328
Of course, there's a big difference
144
00:10:28,388 --> 00:10:30,617
between the Florida oranges
and the California oranges.
145
00:10:30,677 --> 00:10:33,131
At least that's what the Chamber
of Commerce in Florida says.
146
00:10:33,191 --> 00:10:35,661
And the Chamber of Commerce
in California says...
147
00:10:35,872 --> 00:10:37,874
Orange juice, please.
-Yes, ma'am.
148
00:10:41,153 --> 00:10:42,388
Eddie.
149
00:10:44,691 --> 00:10:47,281
I thought it was you from
across the street.
150
00:10:48,856 --> 00:10:49,940
Hello.
151
00:10:51,204 --> 00:10:53,794
Is that the only thing
you've got to say?
152
00:10:54,110 --> 00:10:56,640
Well, there's a lot more
I could say, but...
153
00:10:57,107 --> 00:10:58,311
but you...
154
00:10:59,299 --> 00:11:00,609
Let's see...
155
00:11:01,814 --> 00:11:03,425
Nacy Morgan?
156
00:11:03,711 --> 00:11:05,051
Nora Murphy?
157
00:11:05,292 --> 00:11:09,176
No, you don't look like Nora Murphy.
-What'd you come back for, Eddie?
158
00:11:10,216 --> 00:11:12,610
A man has a right to come
home, hasn't he?
159
00:11:14,552 --> 00:11:17,699
My car is across the street,
I'll take you there.
160
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:18,994
Sure!
161
00:11:19,175 --> 00:11:20,228
Thanks.
162
00:11:45,318 --> 00:11:47,089
Vince know you're back?
163
00:11:47,149 --> 00:11:48,360
Vince?
164
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,025
Should he?
165
00:11:51,762 --> 00:11:53,419
You oughta know.
166
00:12:02,797 --> 00:12:04,499
Thanks for the lift.
167
00:12:07,503 --> 00:12:08,828
Coming in?
168
00:12:09,264 --> 00:12:11,447
Who said this was the end of the road?
169
00:12:12,833 --> 00:12:15,091
Who's complaining? Not me.
170
00:12:40,205 --> 00:12:41,530
Checking in?
171
00:12:41,771 --> 00:12:42,870
Long?
172
00:12:44,466 --> 00:12:45,896
I don't know yet.
173
00:12:46,739 --> 00:12:48,019
Alone?
174
00:12:48,648 --> 00:12:49,672
Yes.
175
00:12:52,517 --> 00:12:55,393
Edward Rice...San Francisco.
176
00:12:58,702 --> 00:13:00,042
304.
177
00:13:03,234 --> 00:13:06,757
I'll throw the stuff in the room and
be right back. -If you say so.
178
00:13:29,744 --> 00:13:32,665
Hello? hello, this is Nina.
I want to talk to Vince.
179
00:13:32,725 --> 00:13:33,885
He's busy.
180
00:13:33,945 --> 00:13:36,203
Not too busy for what
I've got to tell him.
181
00:13:36,263 --> 00:13:37,479
<i>He's not here.</i>
182
00:13:37,539 --> 00:13:41,379
Look, let's not keep where he is a
secret it might upset your whole future.
183
00:13:41,439 --> 00:13:42,945
Put me through to him!
184
00:13:55,033 --> 00:13:56,719
You talk too much.
185
00:13:57,397 --> 00:13:59,189
Another treatment, Kelly?
186
00:14:00,453 --> 00:14:01,603
Any...
187
00:14:02,265 --> 00:14:04,750
Any second...breaks, Vince?
188
00:14:06,993 --> 00:14:09,176
I'm easy to do business with.
189
00:14:10,165 --> 00:14:11,520
If you talk...
190
00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:12,830
you live.
191
00:14:14,034 --> 00:14:16,865
All i want to hear is your
angle with Joe Williams.
192
00:14:19,271 --> 00:14:22,463
Give him a cigarette, Danny.
It'll relax him.
193
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:30,609
I'm...trusting you, Vince.
194
00:14:30,834 --> 00:14:32,792
Sure. Sure, Kelly.
195
00:14:33,474 --> 00:14:35,612
I told you we'd turn you loose.
196
00:14:35,672 --> 00:14:37,388
You understand how I...
197
00:14:37,569 --> 00:14:40,942
How a guy feels when he's been
kicked out of the organization?
198
00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:43,633
I know...
199
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:47,533
I shouldn't of been a sucker and
told Williams about the...
200
00:14:48,253 --> 00:14:50,828
...about the silver dollar.
-Forget that.
201
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,915
What did you tell him about this?
-Nothing!
202
00:14:56,455 --> 00:14:58,201
Nothing much, really.
203
00:14:59,044 --> 00:15:01,755
Vince!
-What did you tell him, Kelly?
204
00:15:01,815 --> 00:15:03,185
Really, Vince...
205
00:15:03,381 --> 00:15:04,931
Nothing important.
206
00:15:05,688 --> 00:15:06,757
Just...
207
00:15:07,178 --> 00:15:08,970
a little of this and...
208
00:15:09,527 --> 00:15:11,304
that about the...
209
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,532
about the slot machines and...
210
00:15:14,315 --> 00:15:16,333
and the take. But, I...
211
00:15:16,787 --> 00:15:18,564
I phonied the figures.
212
00:15:19,403 --> 00:15:22,550
Honest I did.
-These figures aren't phoney.
213
00:15:22,836 --> 00:15:24,447
Where'd you get 'em?
214
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,684
Snatched them out of your safe, Vince.
215
00:15:31,219 --> 00:15:33,192
Williams is waiting for 'em.
216
00:15:33,535 --> 00:15:37,359
He was going to bundle me out of town,
bring me back for the trial.
217
00:15:38,696 --> 00:15:42,083
But, I was gonna duck.
They never would of found me.
218
00:15:44,568 --> 00:15:46,480
That's the truth, Vince!
219
00:15:54,771 --> 00:15:56,021
Hello.
220
00:15:56,788 --> 00:15:58,264
Hello, Nina.
221
00:16:02,956 --> 00:16:05,242
You sure it's him?
-I was with him!
222
00:16:05,302 --> 00:16:08,524
First I saw him outside police
headquarters talking to Joe Williams,
223
00:16:08,584 --> 00:16:10,466
then I drove him to the Cortez.
224
00:16:10,689 --> 00:16:14,362
He cked in under the name
of Eddie Rice, room 304.
225
00:16:14,422 --> 00:16:15,552
Thanks.
226
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:37,164
You still want to take that trip, Kelly?
227
00:16:39,317 --> 00:16:41,560
You don't have to worry about me, Vince.
228
00:16:42,019 --> 00:16:43,028
Don.
229
00:16:44,194 --> 00:16:45,820
Big mouth Kelly.
230
00:16:46,257 --> 00:16:48,832
You think what he's got
may be contagious?
231
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:50,563
Very...catchy.
232
00:16:51,562 --> 00:16:54,648
What's your opinion, Don?
-Very, definitely.
233
00:16:56,621 --> 00:16:58,283
What can I do?
234
00:16:59,322 --> 00:17:01,686
The consultation's in agreement.
235
00:17:04,595 --> 00:17:05,769
Kelly!
236
00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:07,380
You're dead!
237
00:17:09,097 --> 00:17:10,527
Oh, and Kelly...
238
00:17:10,774 --> 00:17:14,749
When you get to where you're going,
have 'em give you a nice, even burn.
239
00:17:14,809 --> 00:17:17,579
Don't let them just fry you on one side.
240
00:18:01,054 --> 00:18:05,210
I'm sorry to bother you again, but..
has there been any sign of the girl yet?
241
00:18:07,876 --> 00:18:09,051
Thanks.
242
00:18:40,394 --> 00:18:42,743
Don't you believe in knocking on doors?
243
00:18:43,857 --> 00:18:45,814
Who are you? What do you want?
244
00:19:00,538 --> 00:19:02,661
So, that's where you've been hold up...
245
00:19:02,932 --> 00:19:04,498
Eddie Rice!
246
00:19:05,181 --> 00:19:08,990
No wonder I couldn't get a line on you.
Are you back sightseeing?
247
00:19:09,378 --> 00:19:10,854
Mr Rice?
248
00:19:13,052 --> 00:19:15,326
This supposed to be a free country?
249
00:19:15,684 --> 00:19:17,250
Free town?
250
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:18,951
Open to anyone?
251
00:19:19,011 --> 00:19:20,366
Not with me in it.
252
00:19:20,635 --> 00:19:23,240
You didn't waste much time
picking up with the cops.
253
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:27,395
Why should it worry you about
me talking to Williams?
254
00:19:27,455 --> 00:19:29,274
You've got me confused, Eddie.
255
00:19:29,771 --> 00:19:33,460
Only a sucker would walk back in
town after the deal you pulled.
256
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,979
Some things a fella has to...
257
00:19:37,401 --> 00:19:39,102
find out for himself.
258
00:19:40,096 --> 00:19:41,948
Not about you and me.
259
00:19:50,768 --> 00:19:53,283
I've been saving this for five years.
260
00:19:54,021 --> 00:19:57,378
Everyone in life has his bible,
this is mine.
261
00:19:58,978 --> 00:20:03,661
I take it out and read it every day. I read
it to remind me of a guy I grew up with.
262
00:20:03,917 --> 00:20:05,648
Got shoved around with.
263
00:20:06,277 --> 00:20:08,566
We used to take a lot of raps together.
264
00:20:09,439 --> 00:20:13,143
Some people would call a guy
like that a...a loyal friend.
265
00:20:13,968 --> 00:20:15,353
He was.
266
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:22,050
Until he turned into a dirty stool pigeon,
and let me take the rap for him!
267
00:20:38,866 --> 00:20:40,070
Eddie...
268
00:20:41,380 --> 00:20:42,811
Riccardi?
269
00:20:43,025 --> 00:20:47,105
My good friend who sold me out
to a cop named Joe Williams!
270
00:20:58,268 --> 00:21:00,541
Don't mess up his face too much.
271
00:21:03,876 --> 00:21:05,909
I ought to kill you, Eddie.
272
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:08,709
But, you're not worth taking
another rap for!
273
00:21:08,769 --> 00:21:11,058
In 24 hours...disappear!
274
00:21:11,935 --> 00:21:15,006
Otherwise, I might be tempted
to change my mind!
275
00:21:15,624 --> 00:21:17,205
Give him some air!
276
00:22:11,865 --> 00:22:14,153
<i>Why didn't the girl come back?</i>
277
00:22:15,523 --> 00:22:17,812
<i>What did she know about me?</i>
278
00:22:18,730 --> 00:22:20,808
<i>Why did she bring me here?</i>
279
00:22:21,847 --> 00:22:23,111
<i>Vince...</i>
280
00:22:24,060 --> 00:22:26,123
<i>Why didn't Vince kill me?</i>
281
00:22:27,402 --> 00:22:29,450
<i>Maybe I deserved it.</i>
282
00:22:30,625 --> 00:22:33,140
<i>Maybe Dr Kemble ought to know?</i>
283
00:22:34,224 --> 00:22:36,051
<i>I better tell him.</i>
284
00:22:37,226 --> 00:22:39,033
<i>I better call him.</i>
285
00:22:40,328 --> 00:22:41,908
<i>I better...</i>
286
00:22:44,659 --> 00:22:45,879
Hello.
287
00:22:46,391 --> 00:22:50,456
I want to put through a call, person
to person. Dr Kemble...
288
00:22:50,652 --> 00:22:53,392
Letterman Genral Hospital,
San Francisco.
289
00:22:54,435 --> 00:22:56,091
K-E-M-B-L-E
290
00:22:57,411 --> 00:22:58,736
Thank you.
291
00:23:14,170 --> 00:23:15,961
Hello, Dr Kemble?
292
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,812
When do you expect him back?
293
00:23:19,219 --> 00:23:20,920
Not till tomorrow?
294
00:23:22,121 --> 00:23:24,500
Never mind, I'll see him personally.
295
00:24:15,503 --> 00:24:18,780
Forget about Union Station.
Take me to 7 Braxton Avenue.
296
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:30,476
Wait for me.
297
00:24:51,762 --> 00:24:53,961
Thanks a lot Lou, for driving me home.
298
00:24:54,021 --> 00:24:57,393
Just a minute, darling.
I'll walk to the door with you.
299
00:24:58,990 --> 00:25:02,378
It's early, Nina. A little drink for
a nightcap won't hurt you.
300
00:25:02,589 --> 00:25:04,456
That's what you think.
301
00:25:04,516 --> 00:25:07,825
You could make me forget that
thousand I dropped tonight, Nina.
302
00:25:07,885 --> 00:25:11,182
I can forget a lot of things, Lou.
You, for instance.
303
00:25:11,242 --> 00:25:13,633
Good night.
-Just a minute, baby.
304
00:25:13,693 --> 00:25:16,328
I'd like a little receipt
for that grand.
305
00:25:19,246 --> 00:25:20,827
That's better.
306
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:25,539
That's your receipt. Good night.
307
00:25:45,117 --> 00:25:46,758
Now listen...
308
00:25:50,045 --> 00:25:51,461
Go ahead.
309
00:25:51,521 --> 00:25:53,237
Take a good look.
310
00:25:53,629 --> 00:25:58,055
If you came to tell me how Vince welcomed
you back, you've said it. So, goodbye!
311
00:25:58,673 --> 00:26:02,272
I want to know what you had
to do with me...in my life.
312
00:26:04,596 --> 00:26:06,057
And this.
313
00:26:10,473 --> 00:26:12,160
December the 24th,
314
00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:13,801
1943.
315
00:26:14,162 --> 00:26:16,120
Ah, that was a lovely Christmas.
316
00:26:16,903 --> 00:26:19,041
One I'll never forget.
317
00:26:24,136 --> 00:26:26,380
Only one of your presents!
318
00:26:29,297 --> 00:26:33,664
Sure, I told Vince Alexander
you're back. I work for him.
319
00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:39,946
This clipping...
320
00:26:40,955 --> 00:26:45,366
Why couldn't you testify at the trial?
-Oh, no routines, I've heard them all.
321
00:26:48,454 --> 00:26:51,436
Listen to me!
I'm just out of an army hospital
322
00:26:51,496 --> 00:26:54,507
with a piece of steel in my head
and no memory to go with it.
323
00:26:54,567 --> 00:26:57,756
I'm here to find out about myself and
I'm getting answers the hard way!
324
00:26:57,816 --> 00:27:00,677
I don't know you, Vince Alexander...
325
00:27:00,737 --> 00:27:05,055
or anybody called Eddie Riccardi!
All I know is one person, Eddie Rice! Me!
326
00:27:07,178 --> 00:27:09,391
You're the last person I can turn to.
327
00:27:10,472 --> 00:27:12,263
Please believe me.
328
00:27:12,850 --> 00:27:14,115
Help me.
329
00:27:16,584 --> 00:27:19,039
That's a very touching speech.
330
00:27:21,477 --> 00:27:23,901
You lost your memory.
331
00:27:24,564 --> 00:27:28,298
You don't know why I couldn't
testify at the trial.
332
00:27:28,529 --> 00:27:32,067
You've forgotten how you used me to
make sure Vince would go to prison
333
00:27:32,127 --> 00:27:33,829
so you'd be set free.
334
00:27:33,889 --> 00:27:37,966
But, if you're back to your old tricks
again I've got sad news for you,
335
00:27:38,026 --> 00:27:40,752
I tore up your raincheck
three years ago.
336
00:27:43,494 --> 00:27:45,587
I'm not your wife anymore.
337
00:28:05,380 --> 00:28:08,090
Now to the station?
-Back to the hotel.
338
00:28:47,065 --> 00:28:49,579
You act like a cop that just
lost a conviction?
339
00:28:49,639 --> 00:28:52,877
Maybe I have, take a look at these.
Fresh out of the photo lab.
340
00:28:54,339 --> 00:28:56,808
Sharks don't talk, the
fingerprints spell Kelly.
341
00:28:56,868 --> 00:28:59,413
The Coroner said he was dead two
hours before he hit the water.
342
00:28:59,473 --> 00:29:01,807
Too bad. With the information
Kelly had for us
343
00:29:01,867 --> 00:29:04,186
we could have put Vince
away for a long stretch.
344
00:29:05,335 --> 00:29:07,066
What's eating you, Joe?
345
00:29:07,563 --> 00:29:09,295
I was a smart cop.
346
00:29:09,355 --> 00:29:12,712
I put Petey away to get him off of
Kelly's tail, and this is what happens.
347
00:29:12,772 --> 00:29:14,594
I feel like I killed Kelly.
348
00:29:14,654 --> 00:29:16,897
Riccardi...think he's tied up in it?
349
00:29:16,957 --> 00:29:19,909
Walking back into town that day
could tie him up in anything.
350
00:29:20,237 --> 00:29:22,706
Is the case my baby?
-All yours.
351
00:29:24,916 --> 00:29:26,301
Now what?
352
00:29:26,361 --> 00:29:28,936
I figure we shouldn't keep
it a secret from Vince.
353
00:29:40,844 --> 00:29:43,087
Only six days in the week now, huh?
354
00:29:43,455 --> 00:29:46,557
How do you like that, the card
must have fell out.
355
00:29:46,617 --> 00:29:48,604
It was there yesterday. Nick...
356
00:29:48,664 --> 00:29:50,125
Who's Jane Doe?
357
00:29:50,185 --> 00:29:52,817
Please, Lieutenant. I don't look
at their birth certificate.
358
00:29:52,877 --> 00:29:55,075
Lots of people don't use
their right names.
359
00:29:55,135 --> 00:29:59,002
With me, a buck is a buck.
I don't ask questions.
360
00:29:59,318 --> 00:30:02,435
Before I'm through, Nick...
you'll be answering a few.
361
00:30:08,026 --> 00:30:12,377
It's gettin' so you can't tail a guy anymore
without having the cops jump on ya.
362
00:30:12,437 --> 00:30:14,666
This town's goin' to the dogs.
363
00:30:14,981 --> 00:30:18,143
Samson and me...
-Petey! Get that cat off the desk!
364
00:30:18,776 --> 00:30:22,133
I was just saying, Samson and
me could stand a vacation.
365
00:30:22,389 --> 00:30:25,340
You want us to blow town?
-That's just what I don't want.
366
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,047
Coke will set you up, and stay quiet!
367
00:30:28,107 --> 00:30:30,667
Well, sure Vince, sure.
Anything you say.
368
00:31:05,567 --> 00:31:06,922
Hello, Danny.
369
00:31:16,370 --> 00:31:18,327
Come in. Come in, Joe.
370
00:31:18,674 --> 00:31:22,543
Pull up a chair and rest your feet.
I hear you've had a busy day.
371
00:31:26,329 --> 00:31:29,099
I figured you would.
I was saving you for last.
372
00:31:30,183 --> 00:31:31,644
Should I...
373
00:31:31,930 --> 00:31:33,993
relax or call in my lawyer?
374
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:36,698
That depends on how nervous you are.
375
00:31:36,758 --> 00:31:39,529
I was always thought nervous
guys bit their nails?
376
00:31:39,589 --> 00:31:41,095
Now, let me see...
377
00:31:41,317 --> 00:31:44,675
Nick was a little bit hazy about
who Jane Doe was.
378
00:31:44,946 --> 00:31:47,144
I thought you might be able to tell me.
379
00:31:47,336 --> 00:31:49,113
Never heard of the girl.
380
00:31:49,173 --> 00:31:50,634
Then there's Petey.
381
00:31:50,694 --> 00:31:54,654
And how certain people got know where
and just when to bail him out.
382
00:31:54,714 --> 00:31:57,014
Now...nobody knows anything.
383
00:31:57,421 --> 00:31:58,912
But, we'll find him.
384
00:31:59,273 --> 00:32:01,863
We;ve got all exits out of town plugged.
385
00:32:03,697 --> 00:32:06,483
And I got a hunch he'll
be real cooperative.
386
00:32:06,769 --> 00:32:08,063
You see...
387
00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:10,698
I don't think he knows
anything about this.
388
00:32:11,090 --> 00:32:12,249
Kelly.
389
00:32:12,798 --> 00:32:15,162
He's gone and gotten himself killed.
390
00:32:15,915 --> 00:32:17,571
Just like Kelly...
391
00:32:17,842 --> 00:32:19,920
You never know what he'll do next.
392
00:32:20,191 --> 00:32:21,983
That goes for a lot of guys.
393
00:32:22,449 --> 00:32:23,910
Take you and...
394
00:32:24,482 --> 00:32:26,529
Then again, take Eddie Riccardi...
395
00:32:26,589 --> 00:32:29,962
You boys forgive and forget,
and back in business again.
396
00:32:31,037 --> 00:32:34,485
You and Riccardi got a lot in common,
why don't you ask him?
397
00:32:34,545 --> 00:32:36,352
At the moment, you're number one.
398
00:32:36,623 --> 00:32:40,281
And, it won't be any...manslaughter
charge and out in two years.
399
00:32:41,076 --> 00:32:43,048
I put you away this time...
400
00:32:43,334 --> 00:32:44,840
it'll be for keeps.
401
00:32:47,035 --> 00:32:50,031
You got all the answers figured
out, haven't you?
402
00:32:50,091 --> 00:32:52,636
I might have, sooner than you think.
403
00:32:53,959 --> 00:32:55,479
So sorry!
404
00:33:35,693 --> 00:33:39,292
Me, I never had a complaint.
You call my old boss.
405
00:33:39,352 --> 00:33:42,115
He'll tell you my bringing in 500
a night at the gambling tables
406
00:33:42,175 --> 00:33:44,344
was a small bag of tell.
407
00:33:45,169 --> 00:33:48,993
Oh, Mr Alexander! I just came in looking
for a job and I was telling Ms Martin...
408
00:33:49,053 --> 00:33:50,378
Get rid of her.
409
00:33:51,278 --> 00:33:55,238
Vince, we need some new talent...
-Okay! Okay! Come back at eight tonight.
410
00:33:55,298 --> 00:33:58,324
She'll tell you what to do.
-Oh, gee! Thanks!
411
00:34:01,806 --> 00:34:03,899
You know Eddie's still in town?
412
00:34:05,013 --> 00:34:06,172
Yes.
413
00:34:06,353 --> 00:34:08,024
Been around to see you?
414
00:34:09,667 --> 00:34:10,796
When?
415
00:34:11,534 --> 00:34:13,266
Late last night.
416
00:34:14,184 --> 00:34:16,548
Did he tell ya I gave him
24 hours to get out?
417
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,249
No.
418
00:34:19,872 --> 00:34:22,793
Well, I changed my mind.
I want him to stay.
419
00:34:23,049 --> 00:34:25,142
I want you to make sure he does stay.
420
00:34:26,876 --> 00:34:29,827
My job's to work the tables
for you here, Vince, and...
421
00:34:30,324 --> 00:34:34,961
I don't even mind setups like the one with
Petey or...other deals like that, but...
422
00:34:36,439 --> 00:34:37,613
Vince...
423
00:34:38,336 --> 00:34:40,534
Stay out of my personal life!
424
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:42,311
Listen you...
425
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,041
When Eddie dropped you, who picked
you up and gave you your health?
426
00:34:46,101 --> 00:34:49,053
Who gave you your job?
Everything you got?
427
00:34:49,459 --> 00:34:51,206
Vince Alexander!
428
00:34:52,806 --> 00:34:54,538
I won't do it, Vince.
429
00:34:54,598 --> 00:34:55,923
Forget Eddie.
430
00:34:55,983 --> 00:34:57,639
When I get through with him.
431
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,717
But, now you're gonna meet him.
432
00:35:00,715 --> 00:35:03,440
And, I want you to make sure
he does stay in town.
433
00:35:34,220 --> 00:35:35,566
What'll it be?
434
00:35:35,626 --> 00:35:37,854
Did five years make you
forget that easily?
435
00:35:37,914 --> 00:35:41,016
I told you...in five years you
can forget a lot of things.
436
00:35:41,076 --> 00:35:43,064
Something for the lady?
-Rob Roy, please.
437
00:35:43,124 --> 00:35:44,491
The same.
438
00:35:48,131 --> 00:35:50,932
What made you change your mind
about seeing me again?
439
00:35:54,897 --> 00:35:58,210
You know, finding out I was married
to you kind of threw me.
440
00:35:58,992 --> 00:36:02,169
It was even something the boys at
the hospital used to rib me about.
441
00:36:02,564 --> 00:36:05,605
They had me fixed up with a
wife and four or five kids.
442
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:09,881
They didn't know how close the
gag came to being true.
443
00:36:11,474 --> 00:36:13,672
You still don't believe me, do you?
444
00:36:21,056 --> 00:36:25,236
Maybe this'll convince you it was Eddie
Rice that rang your doorbell last night.
445
00:36:26,537 --> 00:36:29,909
Call Dr Kemble at Letterman's
Hospital in San Francisco.
446
00:36:31,007 --> 00:36:33,025
He'll tell you the whole story.
447
00:36:38,141 --> 00:36:39,767
Tha cigarette case...
448
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,323
Doesn't it mean anything to you?
449
00:36:47,468 --> 00:36:48,868
Should it?
450
00:36:54,926 --> 00:36:57,350
Suppose I did believe you, then what?
451
00:36:59,488 --> 00:37:03,569
Then, I'd try and make you forget that
Eddie Riccardi was ever in your life.
452
00:37:04,476 --> 00:37:06,403
You think you can do that?
453
00:37:07,216 --> 00:37:08,737
Eddie Rice can.
454
00:37:20,823 --> 00:37:22,570
Eddie, leave town.
455
00:37:24,533 --> 00:37:27,228
Now you're talking like Vince.
-Maybe I was yesterday.
456
00:37:27,288 --> 00:37:30,492
Don't ask me why, but go.
-Nina, I don't frighten easily.
457
00:37:30,552 --> 00:37:33,353
You can take that message back to Vince.
Tell him I'm staying!
458
00:37:33,413 --> 00:37:36,816
That's what he wants you to do. That's
why I'm here, to keep you from leaving.
459
00:37:36,876 --> 00:37:38,740
I'd hate to disappoint him then.
460
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,895
Eddie, don't be stubborn, I know Vince.
He doesn't do anything without a reason.
461
00:37:43,964 --> 00:37:45,530
Neither do I.
462
00:37:47,802 --> 00:37:52,590
Stay then! Get yourself beaten up again,
or killed. Do anything you want.
463
00:38:35,782 --> 00:38:38,267
Riccardi.
-Very interesting.
464
00:38:47,205 --> 00:38:48,936
Scotch over water.
465
00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:53,136
Lose something, Charlie?
466
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,406
Tell Nina Martin, Eddie wants to see her.
-Eddie who?
467
00:38:59,658 --> 00:39:01,103
Just Eddie.
468
00:39:01,630 --> 00:39:03,060
Wait here.
469
00:39:11,467 --> 00:39:12,943
What'll I need?
470
00:39:13,003 --> 00:39:15,653
A thousand might bring you luck.
-A thousand?
471
00:39:15,894 --> 00:39:17,475
Give me a thousand.
472
00:39:24,925 --> 00:39:27,891
A character called Eddie's outside,
wants to see you.
473
00:39:27,951 --> 00:39:29,412
Eddie here?
474
00:39:29,788 --> 00:39:31,204
Get rid of him!
475
00:39:31,425 --> 00:39:33,668
That's not what Vince had in mind.
476
00:39:43,422 --> 00:39:44,972
All right, come on.
477
00:39:53,097 --> 00:39:54,663
6...9...12!
478
00:39:54,919 --> 00:39:56,636
All bets down.
479
00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:04,549
It's a nice layout. Vince ought to be
able to pick up some fast money.
480
00:40:04,609 --> 00:40:07,063
You're crazy to come walking in here.
481
00:40:07,123 --> 00:40:09,273
Maybe I'm just hard to convince.
482
00:40:10,477 --> 00:40:12,374
My dressing room is back there.
483
00:40:13,925 --> 00:40:16,590
I'll be back before the
wheel stops turning.
484
00:40:34,853 --> 00:40:35,973
Yeah?
485
00:40:37,478 --> 00:40:38,939
Okay, thanks.
486
00:40:43,645 --> 00:40:45,813
So, she wanted to get rid of him.
487
00:40:47,179 --> 00:40:50,040
I wonder if that dame is trying
to pull a double cross.
488
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,129
Get down to the Golden Horn and pick up
Eddie Riccardi, you'll find him with Nina.
489
00:40:55,189 --> 00:40:56,270
Just him?
490
00:40:56,571 --> 00:40:57,746
Just him.
491
00:40:58,197 --> 00:41:00,110
I'll get around to her later.
492
00:41:03,747 --> 00:41:05,569
I started to leave...
493
00:41:05,794 --> 00:41:08,309
but I kept thinking about
everything you told me.
494
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,230
If I'd of left I'd been all the
things you said I was.
495
00:41:11,727 --> 00:41:13,232
So, I'm staying.
496
00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:17,505
And, I'm taking you out of here.
497
00:41:18,498 --> 00:41:19,673
Nina.
498
00:41:21,043 --> 00:41:23,436
We could have a decent life together.
499
00:41:26,553 --> 00:41:28,465
You got it all figured out.
500
00:41:31,452 --> 00:41:36,089
Well, you're not taking me anywhere.
You pushed me into this life and I like it.
501
00:41:36,481 --> 00:41:41,374
I'm top bait around here steering nice,
fat, pigeons to the gambling table.
502
00:41:41,434 --> 00:41:46,174
I'm one of Vince's kind now and I'm keeping
my life and my job just the way they are.
503
00:41:46,234 --> 00:41:48,026
No matter what I have to do!
504
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:49,934
Come on.
505
00:41:59,090 --> 00:42:00,144
Thanks.
506
00:42:10,804 --> 00:42:13,469
Now, how about some champagne?
507
00:42:14,389 --> 00:42:17,581
Excuse me for a minute, honey.
I forgot I got to call my wife.
508
00:42:32,729 --> 00:42:35,048
Williams, Homicide.
Yeah, Barnes.
509
00:42:36,509 --> 00:42:37,653
Yeah!
510
00:42:38,586 --> 00:42:39,881
Thanks a lot!
511
00:42:40,377 --> 00:42:41,898
What's exciting?
512
00:42:50,385 --> 00:42:54,646
I said, what's exciting? Or, don't
you want to wake me up?
513
00:42:55,138 --> 00:42:59,113
Barnes casing the Golden Horn for vice
intel, tells me Riccardi just walked in.
514
00:42:59,805 --> 00:43:01,266
Trouble maybe?
515
00:43:01,717 --> 00:43:04,924
I could think of plenty of reasons why
there might be for Eddie Rice.
516
00:43:05,478 --> 00:43:07,300
You'll hear from me later.
517
00:43:25,961 --> 00:43:28,189
How you coming with that
Kelly report, Ben?
518
00:43:28,249 --> 00:43:30,945
Just finishing up for you.
-Okay, I'll wait.
519
00:43:33,515 --> 00:43:36,586
Somebody must've believed in that
old gag about an apple a day.
520
00:43:36,646 --> 00:43:40,513
Yeah, but they didn't know it would pin
a murder on them. -Quite an appetite.
521
00:43:40,573 --> 00:43:43,253
Psychological, it creates
a false hunger.
522
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:50,156
Well, here you are, Joe.
I can go home now.
523
00:43:50,216 --> 00:43:53,454
Thanks a lot, Ben. See you tomorrow.
-Okay, see ya tomorrow.
524
00:44:06,875 --> 00:44:07,778
Yeah?
525
00:44:07,838 --> 00:44:10,970
I'm interested in Eddie Riccardi,
not in what's going on in there.
526
00:44:11,030 --> 00:44:13,680
We don't know from Riccardi.
-I do, open up.
527
00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:18,240
Place your bets, folks. Place your
bets. Bet high/low...odd or even.
528
00:44:38,711 --> 00:44:39,795
Yes?
529
00:44:39,990 --> 00:44:43,438
Miss Martin? Williams, Homicide.
May I come in please?
530
00:44:43,732 --> 00:44:44,982
Come in.
531
00:44:47,432 --> 00:44:50,820
Eddie was just picked up by Danny.
-Where'd he take him?
532
00:44:52,557 --> 00:44:54,424
You'll hear from me later.
533
00:45:14,826 --> 00:45:16,377
You know, Williams?
534
00:45:17,054 --> 00:45:19,524
I'm not used to cops with insomnia.
535
00:45:20,201 --> 00:45:22,791
What's on your mind?
-It won't take long.
536
00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:25,960
Danny picked up Eddie Riccardi.
Where are they?
537
00:45:27,537 --> 00:45:29,329
You're in an awful rut.
538
00:45:29,540 --> 00:45:31,497
Always asking questions.
539
00:45:31,557 --> 00:45:33,846
All right...let's start over.
540
00:45:34,581 --> 00:45:37,306
Eddie was at the Golden Horn
with Nina Martin.
541
00:45:37,366 --> 00:45:39,685
Suddenly, he wasn't there anymore.
542
00:45:40,208 --> 00:45:41,368
So...
543
00:45:41,578 --> 00:45:44,018
So...I don't mind waiting.
544
00:45:45,900 --> 00:45:48,053
While we kill a little time...
545
00:45:49,429 --> 00:45:51,176
This might interest you.
546
00:46:01,803 --> 00:46:05,733
And, after we pick up Riccardi...
we're going down to police headquarters.
547
00:46:06,034 --> 00:46:08,579
You're gonna have a manicure...on me.
548
00:46:10,294 --> 00:46:13,380
You know, you're gonna look awful
silly when I get through with you.
549
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,819
If I'm wrong...I'll apologize.
550
00:46:21,050 --> 00:46:23,264
Say hello, nothing more.
551
00:46:25,733 --> 00:46:26,862
Hello.
552
00:46:27,674 --> 00:46:31,408
Vince, we're at the shop. Do we
stay or bring Riccardi up there?
553
00:46:32,507 --> 00:46:34,238
Tell him you'll be down.
554
00:46:52,464 --> 00:46:53,699
Okay, Coke...
555
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,385
<i>Bring him up here.</i>
556
00:47:28,724 --> 00:47:30,530
What do you want now?
557
00:47:41,819 --> 00:47:44,605
Just when he was coming up
in the department.
558
00:49:14,591 --> 00:49:15,886
Car 9-4
559
00:49:15,946 --> 00:49:17,813
9-4 to Control-4.
560
00:49:17,873 --> 00:49:20,252
<i>Clear Frequency-4, this is an emergency.</i>
561
00:49:20,312 --> 00:49:23,126
Control-4 to 94, go ahead.
562
00:49:23,186 --> 00:49:25,099
<i>Car 94 to Control-4</i>
563
00:49:25,159 --> 00:49:29,209
<i>Notify the Homicide Bureau, we have found
the body of Lt Williams in his car.</i>
564
00:49:29,269 --> 00:49:31,133
At Sepulveda and Sunset.
565
00:50:17,423 --> 00:50:18,763
Give you a lift, son?
566
00:50:18,823 --> 00:50:21,485
Thanks, I had a little accident
back up a side road.
567
00:50:21,545 --> 00:50:24,556
I have to go to town, get a tow car.
-Anybody killed?
568
00:50:27,016 --> 00:50:29,561
No luck at all tonight.
Hop in.
569
00:50:39,349 --> 00:50:42,090
Bet you thought I wouldn't stop
to pick you up, didn't you?
570
00:50:42,150 --> 00:50:43,638
I didn't know.
571
00:50:43,698 --> 00:50:45,113
It's late.
-See...
572
00:50:45,173 --> 00:50:49,130
That's why I fooled you. Have me orders.
Pick up anybody, anytime.
573
00:50:49,747 --> 00:50:51,870
Green Acres Morticians policy.
574
00:50:52,094 --> 00:50:54,698
Live today...maybe a customer tomorrow.
575
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,400
Pays off too.
576
00:50:56,460 --> 00:50:59,848
Most people remember the nice things
you do for them while they're living.
577
00:50:59,908 --> 00:51:03,864
We sure don't get any complaints about our
service from them after they're dead.
578
00:51:03,924 --> 00:51:05,927
Their family, that is.
579
00:51:07,423 --> 00:51:09,441
That accident hurt you any?
580
00:51:10,992 --> 00:51:13,069
Got a match?
-Sure do.
581
00:51:19,645 --> 00:51:21,813
Police, ambulance and everything.
582
00:51:22,114 --> 00:51:24,312
I wonder if I'm losing any customers?
583
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:40,902
Finished with Joe's stuff yet?
-Still working on it.
584
00:51:43,326 --> 00:51:44,816
It's too bad...
585
00:51:45,434 --> 00:51:48,460
Joe's wife sure liked him
in that suit too.
586
00:52:13,311 --> 00:52:16,021
Any line on Riccardi yet?
-Nothing, Captain.
587
00:52:16,081 --> 00:52:19,710
Keep trying, he's the last one who
might of seen Joe. -Okay.
588
00:52:20,197 --> 00:52:21,718
Eddie Riccardi.
589
00:52:24,187 --> 00:52:26,445
Guess Williams was right after all.
590
00:52:26,701 --> 00:52:28,538
Riccardi or Rice.
591
00:52:28,826 --> 00:52:32,530
A Silver Star and a dumb look doesn't
change a no good heel.
592
00:52:33,147 --> 00:52:36,173
Attention all units!
Attention all units!
593
00:52:36,233 --> 00:52:40,175
Be on the lookout for the following
<i>described suspect, wanted for murder:</i>
594
00:52:40,551 --> 00:52:43,322
<i>Eddie Riccardi, alias Eddie Rice,</i>
595
00:52:43,589 --> 00:52:46,164
<i>White male, American,</i>
596
00:52:46,224 --> 00:52:49,341
<i>Age 33, 6 foot 2.</i>
597
00:52:49,729 --> 00:52:51,506
<i>190 lbs...</i>
598
00:52:51,957 --> 00:52:53,312
<i>Dark brown...</i>
599
00:52:53,659 --> 00:52:55,944
You phone the cops and do 'em a favor,
600
00:52:56,004 --> 00:53:00,024
where to find a dead cop and the guy
that did it, and what happens...
601
00:53:05,972 --> 00:53:08,035
The first stop is Nina Martin's.
602
00:53:08,276 --> 00:53:10,474
I want Eddie before the cops get him.
603
00:53:10,730 --> 00:53:12,913
Then they can have him for a present.
604
00:53:14,334 --> 00:53:15,915
And alive!
605
00:53:32,066 --> 00:53:33,843
Eddie!
-Shut up!
606
00:53:34,168 --> 00:53:36,065
Get those lights out!
607
00:53:37,285 --> 00:53:39,152
Eddie, what happened?
608
00:53:40,533 --> 00:53:43,951
You certainly did a neat job
of tying me into a murder.
609
00:53:44,011 --> 00:53:46,089
Joe Williams was killed tonight.
610
00:53:46,149 --> 00:53:47,901
You?
-I don't know.
611
00:53:47,961 --> 00:53:51,138
The last thing I remember was being slugged
over the head at Vince Alexander's.
612
00:53:51,198 --> 00:53:53,713
I know you think that...
-I haven't got time to think!
613
00:53:53,773 --> 00:53:57,811
All I want is a few bucks, your car and
you in my sight till I get out of here!
614
00:53:57,871 --> 00:53:59,874
Eddie, you've got to believe me!
615
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:01,335
Believe?
616
00:54:01,656 --> 00:54:03,508
Like you believed me?
617
00:54:03,885 --> 00:54:05,661
Give me the keys!
618
00:54:10,271 --> 00:54:14,017
Eddie! This is why I turned on you
tonight, to get you away from Vince.
619
00:54:14,077 --> 00:54:16,992
The keys are in the car, you go,
I'll try to stall them off.
620
00:54:17,224 --> 00:54:19,468
And get a bullet in the back of my head?
621
00:54:19,528 --> 00:54:22,404
Oh, Eddie! You've got to trust me,
it's your only chance.
622
00:54:24,815 --> 00:54:26,091
Quick!
623
00:54:26,444 --> 00:54:28,043
The garage.
624
00:55:25,770 --> 00:55:29,188
This is where you get out. -Go to the
police, Eddie. Before it's too late.
625
00:55:29,248 --> 00:55:32,400
With my fingerprints all over the
gun and all over Williams car?
626
00:55:32,460 --> 00:55:35,257
I wouldn't last long enough to walk
to the nearest police station.
627
00:55:35,317 --> 00:55:38,133
If I did what could I tell them?
Now out!
628
00:55:38,788 --> 00:55:41,737
You want me to go home and wait
for Vince to come back again?
629
00:55:41,797 --> 00:55:45,800
That's something Eddie Riccardo would
tell me to do, not Eddie Rice.
630
00:55:49,139 --> 00:55:50,606
All right.
631
00:56:06,538 --> 00:56:07,668
Stop.
632
00:56:11,312 --> 00:56:13,997
Keep your lights off and
the motor running.
633
00:56:57,233 --> 00:56:59,889
Well, now you've got a gun! What next?
634
00:57:01,213 --> 00:57:04,044
I didn't ask for any killings,
so I'm in the middle.
635
00:57:04,528 --> 00:57:07,711
But, I'm not going to be a clay
pigeon for Vince Alexander.
636
00:57:08,308 --> 00:57:10,513
You can't prove anything dead.
637
00:57:10,573 --> 00:57:14,597
That would make Vince very happy,
something I wouldn't want to let happen.
638
00:57:15,047 --> 00:57:18,758
Is there any place we could go, someone
you can trust to put us up for the night?
639
00:57:18,818 --> 00:57:20,299
I need time.
640
00:57:21,747 --> 00:57:23,404
Maybe there is.
641
00:57:23,464 --> 00:57:25,443
It's a long chance, but...
642
00:57:28,917 --> 00:57:31,763
You don't think you're going to
get away with this, do you?
643
00:57:32,276 --> 00:57:34,477
We're staying here till tomorrow.
644
00:57:42,766 --> 00:57:46,004
Stay away from that phone!
If it rings, let it keep ringing!
645
00:57:46,064 --> 00:57:48,953
Get rid of anybody who comes to
the door, I'll be right behind you
646
00:57:49,013 --> 00:57:50,845
in case you give the wrong answers.
647
00:57:55,517 --> 00:57:58,539
What about the girl's place?
-There and gone.
648
00:57:58,599 --> 00:58:02,705
Get a teletype out on her car immediately,
have it re-broadcast every half hour.
649
00:58:08,211 --> 00:58:10,661
I want roadblocks at all these points.
650
00:58:10,721 --> 00:58:12,705
I want the airport, the railroad station,
651
00:58:12,765 --> 00:58:15,536
all the bus terminals put
under a 24 surveillance.
652
00:58:15,596 --> 00:58:18,001
I want every hotel and
flophouse notified.
653
00:58:18,061 --> 00:58:20,818
They're in this town somewhere
and they're not getting out.
654
00:58:21,019 --> 00:58:22,354
One other thing...
655
00:58:22,414 --> 00:58:26,887
We picked up Riccardi's fingerprints on
that gun shop. He's got a gun now.
656
00:58:27,294 --> 00:58:29,421
Don't give him a chance to use it!
657
00:58:29,481 --> 00:58:31,284
All right, start moving.
658
00:58:31,344 --> 00:58:33,908
<i>The police tightened its dragnet
about the city today.</i>
659
00:58:33,968 --> 00:58:36,988
<i>Riccardi escaped just as the police
were ready to close in on him</i>
660
00:58:37,048 --> 00:58:39,197
<i>after they received an
anonymous phone call</i>
661
00:58:39,257 --> 00:58:42,292
<i>which led them to discover the murdered
body of one of their men today.</i>
662
00:58:42,352 --> 00:58:44,067
<i>Every available man...</i>
663
00:58:47,714 --> 00:58:49,958
We'll wait till it's dark
and get out of here.
664
00:58:50,018 --> 00:58:52,423
You couldn't arrange to
drop dead before then?
665
00:58:52,483 --> 00:58:55,606
Hazel, you've got to believe us.
Eddie didn't do it!
666
00:58:55,897 --> 00:58:57,936
He should still drop dead.
667
00:58:58,269 --> 00:58:59,604
Twice.
668
01:00:12,318 --> 01:00:13,477
Coke!
669
01:00:36,274 --> 01:00:38,401
Get me a couple of clean towels.
670
01:00:42,231 --> 01:00:43,771
It's pretty bad.
671
01:00:44,739 --> 01:00:49,052
I'll have you out of here in a minute,
we'll find a doctor. -Go to the police.
672
01:00:49,497 --> 01:00:51,448
Eddie, go to the police.
673
01:00:53,848 --> 01:00:55,961
Your car in the garage?
-Yes.
674
01:00:56,021 --> 01:00:58,704
Where are your keys?
-In my purse.
675
01:00:58,764 --> 01:01:00,288
Take care of her.
676
01:01:22,875 --> 01:01:23,843
Thanks.
677
01:01:23,903 --> 01:01:26,748
I'll have the doctor come right
in the moment he returns.
678
01:01:38,651 --> 01:01:40,602
Light me a cigarette.
679
01:02:02,498 --> 01:02:04,288
You're far away.
680
01:02:06,205 --> 01:02:07,614
How far?
681
01:02:09,418 --> 01:02:10,885
Five years.
682
01:02:11,545 --> 01:02:13,041
A lifetime.
683
01:02:14,259 --> 01:02:15,961
Beyond that, a blank.
684
01:02:17,162 --> 01:02:18,879
Me too, Eddie.
685
01:02:18,939 --> 01:02:21,270
Only, it's been a different
kind of a blank.
686
01:02:21,798 --> 01:02:24,453
It's being pushed back
to Eddie Riccardi.
687
01:02:24,937 --> 01:02:26,184
This.
688
01:02:26,811 --> 01:02:30,215
The whole past that keeps me
from being like other people.
689
01:02:30,992 --> 01:02:32,763
Now all that's left is
690
01:02:32,823 --> 01:02:36,460
wondering what it would be like if there
had only been an Eddie Rice.
691
01:02:38,540 --> 01:02:41,287
If I'd of just met you
for the first time.
692
01:02:43,087 --> 01:02:45,508
Eddie Rice can have that.
693
01:02:48,248 --> 01:02:50,610
Oh, you're...good, Eddie.
694
01:02:51,681 --> 01:02:53,368
You're good.
695
01:02:54,934 --> 01:02:57,622
You've taken away the hate in me.
696
01:02:58,176 --> 01:02:59,995
Destroyed it.
697
01:03:01,946 --> 01:03:03,912
You're...good, Eddie.
698
01:03:07,874 --> 01:03:10,573
When a baby wants to be born,
hours don't matter!
699
01:03:10,633 --> 01:03:12,554
7 poundsd 7ounces...a boy.
700
01:03:12,614 --> 01:03:14,549
Doctor, her shoulder...
701
01:03:29,779 --> 01:03:31,760
I can't treat gun wounds.
702
01:03:31,820 --> 01:03:34,679
She'll have to go to the police
emergency hospital.
703
01:03:34,739 --> 01:03:36,179
I don't think so.
704
01:03:36,239 --> 01:03:39,260
I'm sorry, but I've got to report
this to the police.
705
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:40,624
Doctor.
706
01:03:41,138 --> 01:03:43,191
That report to the police...
707
01:03:43,539 --> 01:03:44,918
It'll wait.
708
01:03:45,123 --> 01:03:47,368
If you want to pull that
trigger, go ahead.
709
01:03:49,535 --> 01:03:51,603
Police headquarters, please.
710
01:03:53,055 --> 01:03:56,092
Put that gun away! I said I was
going to call the police.
711
01:03:56,293 --> 01:03:57,775
Police headquarters?
712
01:03:57,980 --> 01:04:00,914
This is Dr Stacey, 93 Chestnut Street.
713
01:04:01,174 --> 01:04:03,492
Send an ambulance and a squad car.
714
01:04:09,003 --> 01:04:10,602
How bad is it?
715
01:04:14,534 --> 01:04:16,118
She'll be all right.
716
01:04:18,447 --> 01:04:20,262
You'd better leave.
717
01:04:27,035 --> 01:04:30,805
Eddie, I'm scared...I'm scared...
-Take it easy, you'll be all right.
718
01:04:30,865 --> 01:04:33,341
Not for me, for you.
-Listen...
719
01:04:33,531 --> 01:04:37,507
I'm leaving you for a little while.
I've got an idea, it might work.
720
01:04:37,567 --> 01:04:39,672
Something very important.
721
01:04:40,214 --> 01:04:44,395
You knew all about me. The people
I used to know, the places I went.
722
01:04:44,699 --> 01:04:46,855
Think for me, go back five years.
723
01:04:46,915 --> 01:04:51,110
Who was there? Just one person.
Give me the answers, quick!
724
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,289
What you say is my only chance,
the only chance I've got.
725
01:04:54,349 --> 01:04:58,231
The only one left is...Petey.
He can't be trusted with Vince.
726
01:04:58,291 --> 01:05:01,337
Where will I find him?
-Not him, he's... -Tell me!
727
01:05:01,759 --> 01:05:04,457
Two, three places on Main Street.
728
01:05:05,198 --> 01:05:07,034
Fourth and Main...
729
01:05:07,094 --> 01:05:10,091
And after Nina ran in front of him,
Coke never had a chance.
730
01:05:10,151 --> 01:05:11,748
That Eddie sure didn't miss.
731
01:05:11,808 --> 01:05:14,345
Coke took three, went right through
his breakfast, lunch and supper.
732
01:05:14,405 --> 01:05:16,575
Anybody come around, ask any questions?
733
01:05:16,635 --> 01:05:19,900
None I couldn't answer, Vince.
-Get back down and keep him company.
734
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,570
But...but, the police?
-That's exactly what I want!
735
01:05:22,630 --> 01:05:25,559
Tell him how Riccardi broke into your
apartment, found Coke there
736
01:05:25,619 --> 01:05:28,727
pulled his gun and fired. Now do
what I told you, just that!
737
01:05:29,035 --> 01:05:31,250
All right, Vince.
-Take her back!
738
01:05:35,048 --> 01:05:37,293
Eddie's got to find a doctor somewhere.
739
01:05:37,484 --> 01:05:39,581
And, if he does what I think, he'll...
740
01:05:39,772 --> 01:05:42,295
dump the girl...and start looking
for a hidewaway.
741
01:05:43,785 --> 01:05:44,973
Get going!
742
01:05:45,033 --> 01:05:48,039
Spread the news I got a personal
interest in Eddie Riccardi.
743
01:05:48,099 --> 01:05:50,870
I don't want anything to happen
to him...until I get there.
744
01:05:51,389 --> 01:05:53,443
Unless the cops get him first.
745
01:05:54,467 --> 01:05:57,841
You through with him, Doc?
-Yup. He was a fine specimen.
746
01:05:57,901 --> 01:06:00,041
Would have had a long life
if this hadn't happened.
747
01:06:00,101 --> 01:06:02,051
I'll send you my report in the morning.
748
01:06:05,694 --> 01:06:08,335
I'm sure you don't mind coming
downtown, Miss Downs?
749
01:06:08,395 --> 01:06:10,477
Well, I...
-I thought not.
750
01:06:12,659 --> 01:06:14,859
What'd you find?
-It was them all right.
751
01:06:14,919 --> 01:06:17,471
Riccardi left the doctor's office
about 30 minutes ago
752
01:06:17,531 --> 01:06:20,830
Notify Communications? -They're blanketing
the whole area. -The girl?
753
01:06:20,890 --> 01:06:25,608
County Jail Hospital. Still out, whether
she's playing it safe or just not talking.
754
01:06:25,668 --> 01:06:29,085
Keep Melon there, the minute she comes
out, I want to know. -Any ideas?
755
01:06:29,145 --> 01:06:31,970
Lots! We need Riccardi to
explain some of them.
756
01:06:32,157 --> 01:06:34,196
If he lives that long.
757
01:06:38,347 --> 01:06:41,120
Hello. I'm looking for Petey,
have you seen him?
758
01:06:42,691 --> 01:06:44,671
Do you know where to find him?
759
01:06:57,552 --> 01:07:00,780
<i>Nina said three or four places,
I must have hit twenty.</i>
760
01:07:01,245 --> 01:07:03,196
<i>And every answer the same.</i>
761
01:07:03,710 --> 01:07:04,810
<i>No.</i>
762
01:07:05,803 --> 01:07:08,605
<i>The shake of their head,
a frightened face.</i>
763
01:07:10,111 --> 01:07:14,043
<i>They knew where I could find what I was
looking for, but they wouldn't talk.</i>
764
01:07:14,483 --> 01:07:16,141
<i>They were scared.</i>
765
01:08:08,257 --> 01:08:11,660
But, Vince! Appreciate the fact
that at least I called you.
766
01:08:11,961 --> 01:08:14,015
I let him stay, it's another rap.
767
01:08:14,075 --> 01:08:17,623
Another rap, I get life! You've
got to appreciate that!
768
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,296
And I'd appreciate it if you'd
tell me where to find Petey.
769
01:08:24,044 --> 01:08:25,306
Right now!
770
01:08:25,366 --> 01:08:26,758
Sure, Eddie.
771
01:08:27,096 --> 01:08:28,152
Sure.
772
01:08:34,841 --> 01:08:36,822
Ocean Boulevard and 25th.
773
01:09:43,996 --> 01:09:46,490
Who's there? Who is it?
-Eddie.
774
01:09:47,355 --> 01:09:48,910
Eddie Riccardi.
775
01:09:49,277 --> 01:09:52,886
Oh, Eddie boy. Every cop in the
city is out gunning for you!
776
01:09:53,350 --> 01:09:55,403
Maybe you don't care if you live...
777
01:09:55,711 --> 01:09:57,604
I got a few more years left!
778
01:09:57,839 --> 01:09:59,526
Open the door, Petey.
779
01:10:00,083 --> 01:10:01,799
You're dead if you don't.
780
01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:04,769
All right, Eddie.
781
01:10:12,804 --> 01:10:15,914
You didn't think I'd leave you out
there in the cold, did you Eddie?
782
01:10:16,545 --> 01:10:20,550
Five years, no see! But, you sure got
a hot fire burning under you, huh?
783
01:10:21,019 --> 01:10:22,105
Yeah.
784
01:10:24,891 --> 01:10:26,900
You need a pal, a friend.
785
01:10:30,025 --> 01:10:32,240
Sure, I need a friend, Petey.
786
01:10:32,483 --> 01:10:36,263
Look, old friend... Will you...will
you put that mouthpiece away?
787
01:10:36,323 --> 01:10:39,153
Somehow I...I still believe they go off!
788
01:10:39,926 --> 01:10:42,669
And, Samson my cat, you remember my cat?
789
01:10:44,180 --> 01:10:46,439
He's not feeling too good again.
790
01:10:46,949 --> 01:10:49,545
You stay careful and
nothing will happen.
791
01:10:49,605 --> 01:10:53,110
Oh sure. Sure, Eddie. You're
talking to Petey, remember?
792
01:10:53,340 --> 01:10:55,746
Any objections to my moving in with you?
793
01:10:56,025 --> 01:10:58,416
I'll be gone, tomorrow or the next day.
794
01:10:58,476 --> 01:11:01,771
Oh, me? Turn away practically,
my own flesh and blood?
795
01:11:03,341 --> 01:11:04,822
Relax, Eddie.
796
01:11:08,491 --> 01:11:11,308
There you are, Eddie. Nothing's
too good for you.
797
01:11:12,355 --> 01:11:16,154
How about some food, Petey?
I haven't eaten all night.
798
01:11:16,536 --> 01:11:18,370
You haven't changed a bit.
799
01:11:18,590 --> 01:11:20,086
Always hungry!
800
01:11:20,146 --> 01:11:22,022
Still tied up with Vince?
801
01:11:24,002 --> 01:11:27,670
I do a little private eyeing on the side.
A job here, a job there.
802
01:11:28,007 --> 01:11:29,284
Nothing big.
803
01:11:31,150 --> 01:11:32,705
I'll telephone.
804
01:11:43,749 --> 01:11:47,358
Hello, friend? Petey! I got
a special customer.
805
01:11:47,828 --> 01:11:49,852
Yeah. Yeah, an old one.
806
01:11:50,881 --> 01:11:54,094
How about sending something over?
He's tired and hungry.
807
01:11:54,813 --> 01:11:56,778
A pot of coffee and a sandwich.
808
01:11:56,969 --> 01:11:58,011
Turkey.
809
01:11:58,266 --> 01:11:59,352
Tongue
810
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:01,684
Egg salad combination.
811
01:12:02,638 --> 01:12:04,442
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
812
01:12:05,543 --> 01:12:06,863
You got it.
813
01:12:12,752 --> 01:12:16,068
You see, Eddie? Everything's
just like old times.
814
01:12:16,655 --> 01:12:18,474
If you say so, Petey.
815
01:12:20,114 --> 01:12:21,948
I'm gettin' kinda sleepy.
816
01:12:22,271 --> 01:12:25,308
You just make yourself at home,
food will be along pretty soon.
817
01:12:25,368 --> 01:12:28,183
Vince has gotten to be a big
man the last five years.
818
01:12:28,675 --> 01:12:31,168
I'm really gettin' pretty tired, friend.
819
01:12:31,228 --> 01:12:33,457
Why don't you bring me
up to date, Petey?
820
01:12:33,517 --> 01:12:35,247
I'm really awful tired, friend!
821
01:12:35,307 --> 01:12:37,501
How long will it take Vince to get here?
822
01:12:37,971 --> 01:12:40,861
Eddie...Eddie, you...you embarrass me.
823
01:12:41,135 --> 01:12:43,834
I'll kill you if you don't give
it to me straight, Petey!
824
01:12:43,894 --> 01:12:47,047
Eddie...Eddie, don't talk like that.
Samson's sick!
825
01:12:47,543 --> 01:12:50,403
I'm telling you, Eddie!
-What are you telling me? How long?
826
01:12:50,463 --> 01:12:53,557
Five minutes? Ten? Fifteen minutes?
Twenty minutes?
827
01:12:54,096 --> 01:12:57,015
About...about fifteen minutes, Eddie.
828
01:12:57,323 --> 01:13:00,902
Vince puts you on the spot!
He's that way with all the boys!
829
01:13:01,162 --> 01:13:04,781
Blow Eddie! Take me with you.
You and me was always friends!
830
01:13:04,841 --> 01:13:08,273
You just stay in front of me and keep your
mouth shut and you won't get into trouble.
831
01:13:08,333 --> 01:13:11,265
Sure, Eddie! You got nothing
to worry about from me.
832
01:13:11,325 --> 01:13:14,361
Just stay my friend, Petey.
-Yeah, Eddie.
833
01:13:27,837 --> 01:13:29,935
You're retired, you can go home now.
834
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:32,601
Your friend want a ride?
-Not tonight.
835
01:13:34,995 --> 01:13:36,151
$2.80
836
01:13:36,711 --> 01:13:39,616
This will get you a thousand.
Come on, Petey.
837
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,005
Take care of Petey.
838
01:15:45,187 --> 01:15:46,434
Eddie!
839
01:15:46,625 --> 01:15:48,165
Let's get out of here!
840
01:15:49,661 --> 01:15:51,158
Go ahead, Petey.
841
01:15:51,610 --> 01:15:52,974
Thanks, Eddie.
842
01:15:54,148 --> 01:15:55,615
They're coming!
843
01:18:02,988 --> 01:18:04,191
Eddie.
844
01:18:04,792 --> 01:18:06,274
Can you hear me?
845
01:18:09,079 --> 01:18:10,898
We can make a break.
846
01:18:11,558 --> 01:18:13,319
Cover for each other.
847
01:18:14,096 --> 01:18:15,739
I got a place.
848
01:18:17,148 --> 01:18:18,820
You and me, Eddie.
849
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,342
We'll start up again.
850
01:18:22,914 --> 01:18:25,056
Just like old times.
851
01:18:30,072 --> 01:18:31,671
I got money, Eddie.
852
01:18:32,992 --> 01:18:34,327
Big money!
853
01:18:37,521 --> 01:18:39,355
Samson! Samson!
854
01:18:39,986 --> 01:18:41,159
Samson!
855
01:18:43,096 --> 01:18:44,841
Petey! Come back!
856
01:18:46,807 --> 01:18:47,908
Samson.
857
01:18:48,318 --> 01:18:50,446
Samson, baby. Samson.
858
01:19:47,773 --> 01:19:50,091
Riccardi! Alexander!
859
01:19:50,292 --> 01:19:53,813
We'll give you three minutes to come out.
We're gonna start counting.
860
01:19:54,135 --> 01:19:57,920
At the end of three minutes if you're
not out, we're coming to get you!
861
01:19:58,429 --> 01:20:00,600
This is your last chance, Eddie.
862
01:20:01,862 --> 01:20:04,121
There's just you and me left now.
863
01:20:04,181 --> 01:20:05,676
No deal, Vince.
864
01:20:06,455 --> 01:20:08,538
I know you killed Joe Williams.
865
01:20:08,978 --> 01:20:10,357
Okay...
866
01:20:11,516 --> 01:20:13,071
No deals.
867
01:21:51,795 --> 01:21:54,993
We want you, Riccardi..
Alive, Alexander!
868
01:21:55,595 --> 01:21:58,646
If you're in there and not wounded,
bring Riccardi out.
869
01:21:59,653 --> 01:22:03,761
You, Riccardi! If you're alone, come
out with your hands in the air!
870
01:22:06,712 --> 01:22:09,176
Here's when you and I part company.
871
01:22:09,396 --> 01:22:12,081
You're gonna get paid off in full.
872
01:22:41,345 --> 01:22:43,574
Thanks for bringing him out, Vince.
873
01:22:43,853 --> 01:22:47,169
Now, drop your gun.
I said drop your gun, Vince!
874
01:22:49,233 --> 01:22:51,932
Eddie will take what I
got first, Anderson!
875
01:22:54,015 --> 01:22:56,568
All police officers hold your fire!
876
01:22:57,552 --> 01:22:59,532
Don't be crazy, Alexander.
877
01:22:59,899 --> 01:23:02,774
There have been enough people killed.
Give yourself up.
878
01:23:02,834 --> 01:23:04,491
No bargains, Anderson!
879
01:23:04,551 --> 01:23:06,487
You want Riccardi alive...
880
01:23:06,547 --> 01:23:07,866
I want out!
881
01:23:07,926 --> 01:23:10,682
What guarantee have I got that
you won't kill Riccardi?
882
01:23:10,742 --> 01:23:13,250
You don't!
-Be sensible, Alexander.
883
01:23:13,979 --> 01:23:16,854
If we let you out now,
we'll get you later.
884
01:23:17,089 --> 01:23:19,040
You'll be dead before morning.
885
01:23:19,245 --> 01:23:21,930
You got 30 seconds to make
up your mind, Anderson!
886
01:23:22,688 --> 01:23:24,053
I go...
887
01:23:24,361 --> 01:23:26,415
or Riccardi gets it in the back!
888
01:23:29,595 --> 01:23:31,388
Sat down, Eddie! Don't move!
889
01:24:05,464 --> 01:24:06,711
Is he dead?
890
01:24:06,771 --> 01:24:09,234
He will be if we don't get
him to a hospital.
891
01:24:15,716 --> 01:24:19,090
That taxi driver must have really
gotten to you in a hurry.
892
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,980
He did, asking for a $1000 reward.
893
01:24:22,337 --> 01:24:26,826
And all the questions you want to ask...
I called Dr Kemble from San Francisco.
894
01:24:27,149 --> 01:24:31,242
We knew Vince killed Jow Williams,
we found his blood on Joe's clothing.
895
01:24:31,604 --> 01:24:34,435
It matched up with our
lab files, yours didn't.
896
01:24:34,740 --> 01:24:37,351
And, Hazel told us the truth about Coke.
897
01:24:37,747 --> 01:24:41,254
Now, just get well. We'll finish
our business later.
898
01:24:42,217 --> 01:24:43,391
Nina...
899
01:24:43,451 --> 01:24:45,782
She's fine...in the waiting room.
900
01:25:05,063 --> 01:25:08,173
You shouldn't kiss a guy like
that when he's sick in bed.
901
01:25:10,205 --> 01:25:14,254
Well, I've been waiting outside all the
time. They wouldn't tell me anything.
902
01:25:14,314 --> 01:25:15,970
I was afraid...
903
01:25:17,151 --> 01:25:18,647
It's all right.
904
01:25:19,674 --> 01:25:21,170
We'll go away.
905
01:25:21,230 --> 01:25:24,222
We'll find that...crazy world of yours.
906
01:25:25,698 --> 01:25:27,151
Sure.
907
01:25:30,408 --> 01:25:32,373
There's only one thing...
908
01:25:33,675 --> 01:25:35,494
You'll always be...
909
01:25:35,758 --> 01:25:37,298
Eddie Rice.
910
01:25:38,853 --> 01:25:40,540
For the rest of my life.
911
01:25:40,990 --> 01:25:43,059
I have the doc's word for him.
912
01:25:44,673 --> 01:25:46,110
Come here.

After sustaining a head wound in combat, decorated World War II veteran Eddie Rice (John Payne) is treated at a San Francisco military hospital for a permanent form of amnesia. This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.
Rice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely.

1
00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556
This is the Letterman General Hosiptal
at San Francisco, California.
2
00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219
For those outside these gates the
war is over, a thing of the past.
3
00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888
For those behind these gates there's a
grim, hard, bitter fight still going on.
4
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518
Take one case, the case
of Eddie Rice, age 33.
5
00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206
Enlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.
Holder of the Silver Star, but today...
6
00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026
A name and date number, a medical file.
For five years a chart on a hospital bed.
7
00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340
A victim of amnesia.
A mind with a blocked out past.
8
00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127
Where were you born, Eddie?
Who are your parents?
9
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912
Any brothers? Sisters?
10
00:01:54,277 --> 00:01:58,775
Where did you go to school?
What's your trade? Profession?
11
00:01:59,433 --> 00:02:01,748
Are you rich?
Poor?
12
00:02:02,051 --> 00:02:03,689
Got a girl?
13
00:02:03,915 --> 00:02:05,289
Married?
14
00:02:05,349 --> 00:02:06,869
I don't know.
15
00:02:07,378 --> 00:02:09,015
I don't know!
16
00:02:09,824 --> 00:02:11,537
I can't remember.
17
00:02:12,444 --> 00:02:14,571
I just can't remember, doctor.
18
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:30,922
You had me open. What did you quit for?
-We did the best we could, Eddie.
19
00:02:31,218 --> 00:02:33,439
It'll just have to stay there.
20
00:02:34,606 --> 00:02:38,483
Is that final?
-Unless you want your name on a headstone.
21
00:02:38,543 --> 00:02:43,592
That shrapnel's too deep in your brain.
Scar tissue has grown all around it.
22
00:02:43,652 --> 00:02:46,980
Believe me, we tried.
-Yeah, I guess you did.
23
00:02:48,391 --> 00:02:52,551
Where do I go from here?
-Eddie, there are two kinds of amnesia:
24
00:02:52,611 --> 00:02:54,895
psychological and organic.
25
00:02:55,178 --> 00:03:00,240
The psychological form is temporary, but
it can be cured through psychotherapy.
26
00:03:01,016 --> 00:03:03,876
Yours is organic, it's permanent.
27
00:03:04,347 --> 00:03:07,772
That piece of steel in your brain
has blocked out your memory.
28
00:03:07,832 --> 00:03:10,863
Which doesn't leave me much
of a future, does it?
29
00:03:10,923 --> 00:03:15,071
Of course it does, physically
you're normal and healthy.
30
00:03:15,131 --> 00:03:17,771
You've received the maximum
medical benefits
31
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:22,559
You've completed training courses that make
you fit to hold down a job and face life.
32
00:03:23,499 --> 00:03:26,540
With no address, no next
of kin, nothing.
33
00:03:27,489 --> 00:03:29,567
Enlisted from Los Angeles...
34
00:03:29,627 --> 00:03:32,397
Intelligence ran that down
for us, remember?
35
00:03:32,867 --> 00:03:35,818
Oh sure, there were a lot of
people named Rice there...
36
00:03:36,026 --> 00:03:37,682
but not this Eddie Rice.
37
00:03:37,742 --> 00:03:41,777
But, Army Intelligence didn't mow
Los Angeles lawns as a kid, Eddie.
38
00:03:41,837 --> 00:03:44,292
They didn't trade at the corner market.
39
00:03:44,352 --> 00:03:48,775
They didn't work with people in a factory,
in an office, as you might have done.
40
00:03:48,986 --> 00:03:50,136
Now...
41
00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:54,081
If you went down there...and ran
into somebody who knew you,
42
00:03:54,141 --> 00:03:55,918
just one person...
43
00:03:56,384 --> 00:03:57,694
Yes...
44
00:03:58,992 --> 00:04:01,702
If I ran into just one person
who knew me.
45
00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:03,689
One guy...
46
00:04:04,785 --> 00:04:07,149
Who would come up to me and say:
47
00:04:07,616 --> 00:04:08,775
"Eddie."
48
00:04:08,986 --> 00:04:10,491
"Eddie Rice."
49
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:12,253
"How have you been?"
50
00:04:12,581 --> 00:04:14,132
"Where have you been?"
51
00:04:14,192 --> 00:04:15,577
That's it, Eddie.
52
00:04:15,637 --> 00:04:18,766
And then, they'd tell me about
someone else I used to know.
53
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:21,626
And, I'd meet somebody else.
54
00:04:22,635 --> 00:04:24,141
And another...
55
00:04:25,342 --> 00:04:26,908
And another...
56
00:04:57,774 --> 00:05:00,996
<i>Sure, it scares you to go out into
a world you don't remember...</i>
57
00:05:01,484 --> 00:05:02,959
<i>but you're here now.</i>
58
00:05:03,742 --> 00:05:05,473
<i>It'll be a new life.</i>
59
00:05:05,805 --> 00:05:07,295
<i>A new start.</i>
60
00:05:08,231 --> 00:05:10,189
<i>Find yourself a place to live.</i>
61
00:05:10,957 --> 00:05:12,613
<i>Get yourself a job.</i>
62
00:05:13,290 --> 00:05:14,540
<i>Get going.</i>
63
00:05:15,353 --> 00:05:16,919
<i>Get going, Eddie!</i>
64
00:05:19,198 --> 00:05:20,357
Eddie!
65
00:05:20,417 --> 00:05:22,736
You know, it's a small world, Eddie.
66
00:05:22,796 --> 00:05:25,266
We came down here to pick
up a little of one thing,
67
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:28,650
and we ran into a little of another!
-A lot of us thought you were dead.
68
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:32,851
Yes, and...those that didn't hoped you
were. What are you doing in town?
69
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,642
I'm just in from San Francisco.
70
00:05:36,702 --> 00:05:40,060
I didn't ask you that.
-He asked you what you were doing in town.
71
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,354
I cam here to look up some...people.
72
00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:45,989
Funny, I...I had a feeling that was it.
73
00:05:46,049 --> 00:05:48,443
Anderson one of them?
-Anderson?
74
00:05:49,719 --> 00:05:50,698
Maybe.
75
00:05:50,758 --> 00:05:54,251
I think you're lying, Eddie. I don't think you
were gonna look up Anderson at all.
76
00:05:54,311 --> 00:05:57,458
Barrett, do you think he was gonna
look up Anderson? -No, Joe.
77
00:05:57,699 --> 00:06:00,108
Not Anderson.
-I'll tell you what...
78
00:06:00,168 --> 00:06:02,737
I got a car and nothing
to do for a while...
79
00:06:02,797 --> 00:06:05,478
Let's go see Anderson together.
Any objections?
80
00:06:07,616 --> 00:06:09,016
No objections.
81
00:06:09,076 --> 00:06:11,256
Stick around, Kelly may still show.
82
00:06:11,452 --> 00:06:12,506
Let's go.
83
00:06:35,122 --> 00:06:37,667
'Honorable discharge of Edward Rice.'
84
00:06:41,972 --> 00:06:43,568
What's the gimmick?
85
00:06:44,110 --> 00:06:46,399
If you'd put away your blackjacks
long enough
86
00:06:46,459 --> 00:06:48,431
maybe I could get it through
your heads that...
87
00:06:48,491 --> 00:06:50,714
I don't know what you're talking about.
88
00:06:50,774 --> 00:06:52,912
You got yourself a sense
of humor, Eddie.
89
00:06:52,972 --> 00:06:56,010
You think you come back here with
a dumb look and a Silver Star...
90
00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:58,958
That changes a no good heel?
-But, I'm trying to tell you that...
91
00:06:59,018 --> 00:07:01,382
You don't have to tell us
anything about yourself.
92
00:07:01,442 --> 00:07:03,881
We got it all down in black and white.
93
00:07:06,019 --> 00:07:07,630
Read it, Riccardi.
94
00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:09,313
We didn't dream it up.
95
00:07:09,795 --> 00:07:12,355
Possession of a weapon
with intent to kill.
96
00:07:12,882 --> 00:07:14,553
Suspicion of murder.
97
00:07:17,184 --> 00:07:18,566
<i>Riccardi...</i>
98
00:07:19,274 --> 00:07:20,960
<i>Eddie Riccardi.</i>
99
00:07:21,638 --> 00:07:25,236
<i>That's not me, it can't be.
It only looks like me!</i>
100
00:07:26,348 --> 00:07:29,103
<i>I better get out of here!
I've got to get out!</i>
101
00:07:29,163 --> 00:07:33,093
Five years ago we hustled you out of town,
for good. Now what are you here for?
102
00:07:34,253 --> 00:07:35,939
<i>You've got to play ball.</i>
103
00:07:35,999 --> 00:07:39,153
<i>You need time. You need more
time to find out about yourself.</i>
104
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,894
Riccardi's just playing dumb, Captain.
105
00:07:42,556 --> 00:07:44,122
Put him in the lockup.
106
00:07:44,498 --> 00:07:47,085
I'm finding about these...
discharge papers.
107
00:07:47,145 --> 00:07:49,358
If they're phonies, we'll pin a
real one on him.
108
00:07:49,418 --> 00:07:50,999
Just a minute, Lieutenant.
109
00:07:52,426 --> 00:07:56,627
I guess, maybe I didn't want the army
to know about Eddie...Riccardi.
110
00:07:57,317 --> 00:08:00,133
The only friends I have
know me as Eddie Rice.
111
00:08:00,916 --> 00:08:02,813
I'd like to keep it that way.
112
00:08:03,219 --> 00:08:05,945
That's probably the first honest
thing you've ever said.
113
00:08:06,005 --> 00:08:07,537
Pick up your things.
114
00:08:10,967 --> 00:08:14,008
Be Eddie Rice in some other
town, but not here.
115
00:08:14,068 --> 00:08:18,540
Now, we can't hold you, but...you step
out of line once and we step on you.
116
00:08:26,034 --> 00:08:28,278
Notice anything different
about him, Williams?
117
00:08:28,338 --> 00:08:31,138
Nothing! If Riccardi stays in town
there's gonna be trouble.
118
00:08:31,198 --> 00:08:34,210
I don't know. He had a strange
look about him.
119
00:08:34,667 --> 00:08:37,934
Send to Washington for a complete
report on Edward Rice.
120
00:08:37,994 --> 00:08:40,870
That Silver Star, you really
do something to get one.
121
00:08:40,930 --> 00:08:43,686
Yeah, buy it in a pawn
shop for two bits.
122
00:09:01,270 --> 00:09:04,944
Nina, my sweet!
My beautiful, lovely...
123
00:09:05,004 --> 00:09:07,609
All right, Nick! Let's keep
it all business.
124
00:09:10,063 --> 00:09:13,240
Who is it this time?
-Petey. Suspicion of robbery.
125
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:16,251
Get him out before they start
shifting him around. -Petey?
126
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:17,588
Him?
127
00:09:17,648 --> 00:09:19,726
He wouldn't steal his own shadow.
128
00:09:19,786 --> 00:09:22,056
That was William's gag to get
him out of the way.
129
00:09:22,116 --> 00:09:25,670
I wouldn't know. Bail's $1000.
-Inflation!
130
00:09:25,730 --> 00:09:27,823
That's the whole trouble these days.
131
00:09:28,847 --> 00:09:30,714
Alexander, he unhappy?
132
00:09:31,252 --> 00:09:34,188
Nick. Keep your mind on your business.
133
00:09:34,248 --> 00:09:36,233
Let Vince worry about his, huh?
134
00:09:36,293 --> 00:09:39,259
Sure, beautiful Sure.
Forget I mentioned it.
135
00:09:53,907 --> 00:09:55,970
Take my advice, you leave town.
136
00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:57,837
I've got things to do.
137
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,125
Adios, boy! You're on your own.
138
00:10:04,466 --> 00:10:05,941
Kelly never showed.
139
00:10:06,001 --> 00:10:07,071
Odd.
140
00:10:07,131 --> 00:10:08,606
We'll hear from him.
141
00:10:18,132 --> 00:10:20,074
One of the usual fronts?
142
00:10:21,098 --> 00:10:24,064
You have a lot of Jane Does, Nick.
Use one of them.
143
00:10:26,732 --> 00:10:28,328
Of course, there's a big difference
144
00:10:28,388 --> 00:10:30,617
between the Florida oranges
and the California oranges.
145
00:10:30,677 --> 00:10:33,131
At least that's what the Chamber
of Commerce in Florida says.
146
00:10:33,191 --> 00:10:35,661
And the Chamber of Commerce
in California says...
147
00:10:35,872 --> 00:10:37,874
Orange juice, please.
-Yes, ma'am.
148
00:10:41,153 --> 00:10:42,388
Eddie.
149
00:10:44,691 --> 00:10:47,281
I thought it was you from
across the street.
150
00:10:48,856 --> 00:10:49,940
Hello.
151
00:10:51,204 --> 00:10:53,794
Is that the only thing
you've got to say?
152
00:10:54,110 --> 00:10:56,640
Well, there's a lot more
I could say, but...
153
00:10:57,107 --> 00:10:58,311
but you...
154
00:10:59,299 --> 00:11:00,609
Let's see...
155
00:11:01,814 --> 00:11:03,425
Nacy Morgan?
156
00:11:03,711 --> 00:11:05,051
Nora Murphy?
157
00:11:05,292 --> 00:11:09,176
No, you don't look like Nora Murphy.
-What'd you come back for, Eddie?
158
00:11:10,216 --> 00:11:12,610
A man has a right to come
home, hasn't he?
159
00:11:14,552 --> 00:11:17,699
My car is across the street,
I'll take you there.
160
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:18,994
Sure!
161
00:11:19,175 --> 00:11:20,228
Thanks.
162
00:11:45,318 --> 00:11:47,089
Vince know you're back?
163
00:11:47,149 --> 00:11:48,360
Vince?
164
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,025
Should he?
165
00:11:51,762 --> 00:11:53,419
You oughta know.
166
00:12:02,797 --> 00:12:04,499
Thanks for the lift.
167
00:12:07,503 --> 00:12:08,828
Coming in?
168
00:12:09,264 --> 00:12:11,447
Who said this was the end of the road?
169
00:12:12,833 --> 00:12:15,091
Who's complaining? Not me.
170
00:12:40,205 --> 00:12:41,530
Checking in?
171
00:12:41,771 --> 00:12:42,870
Long?
172
00:12:44,466 --> 00:12:45,896
I don't know yet.
173
00:12:46,739 --> 00:12:48,019
Alone?
174
00:12:48,648 --> 00:12:49,672
Yes.
175
00:12:52,517 --> 00:12:55,393
Edward Rice...San Francisco.
176
00:12:58,702 --> 00:13:00,042
304.
177
00:13:03,234 --> 00:13:06,757
I'll throw the stuff in the room and
be right back. -If you say so.
178
00:13:29,744 --> 00:13:32,665
Hello? hello, this is Nina.
I want to talk to Vince.
179
00:13:32,725 --> 00:13:33,885
He's busy.
180
00:13:33,945 --> 00:13:36,203
Not too busy for what
I've got to tell him.
181
00:13:36,263 --> 00:13:37,479
<i>He's not here.</i>
182
00:13:37,539 --> 00:13:41,379
Look, let's not keep where he is a
secret it might upset your whole future.
183
00:13:41,439 --> 00:13:42,945
Put me through to him!
184
00:13:55,033 --> 00:13:56,719
You talk too much.
185
00:13:57,397 --> 00:13:59,189
Another treatment, Kelly?
186
00:14:00,453 --> 00:14:01,603
Any...
187
00:14:02,265 --> 00:14:04,750
Any second...breaks, Vince?
188
00:14:06,993 --> 00:14:09,176
I'm easy to do business with.
189
00:14:10,165 --> 00:14:11,520
If you talk...
190
00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:12,830
you live.
191
00:14:14,034 --> 00:14:16,865
All i want to hear is your
angle with Joe Williams.
192
00:14:19,271 --> 00:14:22,463
Give him a cigarette, Danny.
It'll relax him.
193
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:30,609
I'm...trusting you, Vince.
194
00:14:30,834 --> 00:14:32,792
Sure. Sure, Kelly.
195
00:14:33,474 --> 00:14:35,612
I told you we'd turn you loose.
196
00:14:35,672 --> 00:14:37,388
You understand how I...
197
00:14:37,569 --> 00:14:40,942
How a guy feels when he's been
kicked out of the organization?
198
00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:43,633
I know...
199
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:47,533
I shouldn't of been a sucker and
told Williams about the...
200
00:14:48,253 --> 00:14:50,828
...about the silver dollar.
-Forget that.
201
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,915
What did you tell him about this?
-Nothing!
202
00:14:56,455 --> 00:14:58,201
Nothing much, really.
203
00:14:59,044 --> 00:15:01,755
Vince!
-What did you tell him, Kelly?
204
00:15:01,815 --> 00:15:03,185
Really, Vince...
205
00:15:03,381 --> 00:15:04,931
Nothing important.
206
00:15:05,688 --> 00:15:06,757
Just...
207
00:15:07,178 --> 00:15:08,970
a little of this and...
208
00:15:09,527 --> 00:15:11,304
that about the...
209
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,532
about the slot machines and...
210
00:15:14,315 --> 00:15:16,333
and the take. But, I...
211
00:15:16,787 --> 00:15:18,564
I phonied the figures.
212
00:15:19,403 --> 00:15:22,550
Honest I did.
-These figures aren't phoney.
213
00:15:22,836 --> 00:15:24,447
Where'd you get 'em?
214
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,684
Snatched them out of your safe, Vince.
215
00:15:31,219 --> 00:15:33,192
Williams is waiting for 'em.
216
00:15:33,535 --> 00:15:37,359
He was going to bundle me out of town,
bring me back for the trial.
217
00:15:38,696 --> 00:15:42,083
But, I was gonna duck.
They never would of found me.
218
00:15:44,568 --> 00:15:46,480
That's the truth, Vince!
219
00:15:54,771 --> 00:15:56,021
Hello.
220
00:15:56,788 --> 00:15:58,264
Hello, Nina.
221
00:16:02,956 --> 00:16:05,242
You sure it's him?
-I was with him!
222
00:16:05,302 --> 00:16:08,524
First I saw him outside police
headquarters talking to Joe Williams,
223
00:16:08,584 --> 00:16:10,466
then I drove him to the Cortez.
224
00:16:10,689 --> 00:16:14,362
He cked in under the name
of Eddie Rice, room 304.
225
00:16:14,422 --> 00:16:15,552
Thanks.
226
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:37,164
You still want to take that trip, Kelly?
227
00:16:39,317 --> 00:16:41,560
You don't have to worry about me, Vince.
228
00:16:42,019 --> 00:16:43,028
Don.
229
00:16:44,194 --> 00:16:45,820
Big mouth Kelly.
230
00:16:46,257 --> 00:16:48,832
You think what he's got
may be contagious?
231
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:50,563
Very...catchy.
232
00:16:51,562 --> 00:16:54,648
What's your opinion, Don?
-Very, definitely.
233
00:16:56,621 --> 00:16:58,283
What can I do?
234
00:16:59,322 --> 00:17:01,686
The consultation's in agreement.
235
00:17:04,595 --> 00:17:05,769
Kelly!
236
00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:07,380
You're dead!
237
00:17:09,097 --> 00:17:10,527
Oh, and Kelly...
238
00:17:10,774 --> 00:17:14,749
When you get to where you're going,
have 'em give you a nice, even burn.
239
00:17:14,809 --> 00:17:17,579
Don't let them just fry you on one side.
240
00:18:01,054 --> 00:18:05,210
I'm sorry to bother you again, but..
has there been any sign of the girl yet?
241
00:18:07,876 --> 00:18:09,051
Thanks.
242
00:18:40,394 --> 00:18:42,743
Don't you believe in knocking on doors?
243
00:18:43,857 --> 00:18:45,814
Who are you? What do you want?
244
00:19:00,538 --> 00:19:02,661
So, that's where you've been hold up...
245
00:19:02,932 --> 00:19:04,498
Eddie Rice!
246
00:19:05,181 --> 00:19:08,990
No wonder I couldn't get a line on you.
Are you back sightseeing?
247
00:19:09,378 --> 00:19:10,854
Mr Rice?
248
00:19:13,052 --> 00:19:15,326
This supposed to be a free country?
249
00:19:15,684 --> 00:19:17,250
Free town?
250
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:18,951
Open to anyone?
251
00:19:19,011 --> 00:19:20,366
Not with me in it.
252
00:19:20,635 --> 00:19:23,240
You didn't waste much time
picking up with the cops.
253
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:27,395
Why should it worry you about
me talking to Williams?
254
00:19:27,455 --> 00:19:29,274
You've got me confused, Eddie.
255
00:19:29,771 --> 00:19:33,460
Only a sucker would walk back in
town after the deal you pulled.
256
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,979
Some things a fella has to...
257
00:19:37,401 --> 00:19:39,102
find out for himself.
258
00:19:40,096 --> 00:19:41,948
Not about you and me.
259
00:19:50,768 --> 00:19:53,283
I've been saving this for five years.
260
00:19:54,021 --> 00:19:57,378
Everyone in life has his bible,
this is mine.
261
00:19:58,978 --> 00:20:03,661
I take it out and read it every day. I read
it to remind me of a guy I grew up with.
262
00:20:03,917 --> 00:20:05,648
Got shoved around with.
263
00:20:06,277 --> 00:20:08,566
We used to take a lot of raps together.
264
00:20:09,439 --> 00:20:13,143
Some people would call a guy
like that a...a loyal friend.
265
00:20:13,968 --> 00:20:15,353
He was.
266
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:22,050
Until he turned into a dirty stool pigeon,
and let me take the rap for him!
267
00:20:38,866 --> 00:20:40,070
Eddie...
268
00:20:41,380 --> 00:20:42,811
Riccardi?
269
00:20:43,025 --> 00:20:47,105
My good friend who sold me out
to a cop named Joe Williams!
270
00:20:58,268 --> 00:21:00,541
Don't mess up his face too much.
271
00:21:03,876 --> 00:21:05,909
I ought to kill you, Eddie.
272
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:08,709
But, you're not worth taking
another rap for!
273
00:21:08,769 --> 00:21:11,058
In 24 hours...disappear!
274
00:21:11,935 --> 00:21:15,006
Otherwise, I might be tempted
to change my mind!
275
00:21:15,624 --> 00:21:17,205
Give him some air!
276
00:22:11,865 --> 00:22:14,153
<i>Why didn't the girl come back?</i>
277
00:22:15,523 --> 00:22:17,812
<i>What did she know about me?</i>
278
00:22:18,730 --> 00:22:20,808
<i>Why did she bring me here?</i>
279
00:22:21,847 --> 00:22:23,111
<i>Vince...</i>
280
00:22:24,060 --> 00:22:26,123
<i>Why didn't Vince kill me?</i>
281
00:22:27,402 --> 00:22:29,450
<i>Maybe I deserved it.</i>
282
00:22:30,625 --> 00:22:33,140
<i>Maybe Dr Kemble ought to know?</i>
283
00:22:34,224 --> 00:22:36,051
<i>I better tell him.</i>
284
00:22:37,226 --> 00:22:39,033
<i>I better call him.</i>
285
00:22:40,328 --> 00:22:41,908
<i>I better...</i>
286
00:22:44,659 --> 00:22:45,879
Hello.
287
00:22:46,391 --> 00:22:50,456
I want to put through a call, person
to person. Dr Kemble...
288
00:22:50,652 --> 00:22:53,392
Letterman Genral Hospital,
San Francisco.
289
00:22:54,435 --> 00:22:56,091
K-E-M-B-L-E
290
00:22:57,411 --> 00:22:58,736
Thank you.
291
00:23:14,170 --> 00:23:15,961
Hello, Dr Kemble?
292
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,812
When do you expect him back?
293
00:23:19,219 --> 00:23:20,920
Not till tomorrow?
294
00:23:22,121 --> 00:23:24,500
Never mind, I'll see him personally.
295
00:24:15,503 --> 00:24:18,780
Forget about Union Station.
Take me to 7 Braxton Avenue.
296
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:30,476
Wait for me.
297
00:24:51,762 --> 00:24:53,961
Thanks a lot Lou, for driving me home.
298
00:24:54,021 --> 00:24:57,393
Just a minute, darling.
I'll walk to the door with you.
299
00:24:58,990 --> 00:25:02,378
It's early, Nina. A little drink for
a nightcap won't hurt you.
300
00:25:02,589 --> 00:25:04,456
That's what you think.
301
00:25:04,516 --> 00:25:07,825
You could make me forget that
thousand I dropped tonight, Nina.
302
00:25:07,885 --> 00:25:11,182
I can forget a lot of things, Lou.
You, for instance.
303
00:25:11,242 --> 00:25:13,633
Good night.
-Just a minute, baby.
304
00:25:13,693 --> 00:25:16,328
I'd like a little receipt
for that grand.
305
00:25:19,246 --> 00:25:20,827
That's better.
306
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:25,539
That's your receipt. Good night.
307
00:25:45,117 --> 00:25:46,758
Now listen...
308
00:25:50,045 --> 00:25:51,461
Go ahead.
309
00:25:51,521 --> 00:25:53,237
Take a good look.
310
00:25:53,629 --> 00:25:58,055
If you came to tell me how Vince welcomed
you back, you've said it. So, goodbye!
311
00:25:58,673 --> 00:26:02,272
I want to know what you had
to do with me...in my life.
312
00:26:04,596 --> 00:26:06,057
And this.
313
00:26:10,473 --> 00:26:12,160
December the 24th,
314
00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:13,801
1943.
315
00:26:14,162 --> 00:26:16,120
Ah, that was a lovely Christmas.
316
00:26:16,903 --> 00:26:19,041
One I'll never forget.
317
00:26:24,136 --> 00:26:26,380
Only one of your presents!
318
00:26:29,297 --> 00:26:33,664
Sure, I told Vince Alexander
you're back. I work for him.
319
00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:39,946
This clipping...
320
00:26:40,955 --> 00:26:45,366
Why couldn't you testify at the trial?
-Oh, no routines, I've heard them all.
321
00:26:48,454 --> 00:26:51,436
Listen to me!
I'm just out of an army hospital
322
00:26:51,496 --> 00:26:54,507
with a piece of steel in my head
and no memory to go with it.
323
00:26:54,567 --> 00:26:57,756
I'm here to find out about myself and
I'm getting answers the hard way!
324
00:26:57,816 --> 00:27:00,677
I don't know you, Vince Alexander...
325
00:27:00,737 --> 00:27:05,055
or anybody called Eddie Riccardi!
All I know is one person, Eddie Rice! Me!
326
00:27:07,178 --> 00:27:09,391
You're the last person I can turn to.
327
00:27:10,472 --> 00:27:12,263
Please believe me.
328
00:27:12,850 --> 00:27:14,115
Help me.
329
00:27:16,584 --> 00:27:19,039
That's a very touching speech.
330
00:27:21,477 --> 00:27:23,901
You lost your memory.
331
00:27:24,564 --> 00:27:28,298
You don't know why I couldn't
testify at the trial.
332
00:27:28,529 --> 00:27:32,067
You've forgotten how you used me to
make sure Vince would go to prison
333
00:27:32,127 --> 00:27:33,829
so you'd be set free.
334
00:27:33,889 --> 00:27:37,966
But, if you're back to your old tricks
again I've got sad news for you,
335
00:27:38,026 --> 00:27:40,752
I tore up your raincheck
three years ago.
336
00:27:43,494 --> 00:27:45,587
I'm not your wife anymore.
337
00:28:05,380 --> 00:28:08,090
Now to the station?
-Back to the hotel.
338
00:28:47,065 --> 00:28:49,579
You act like a cop that just
lost a conviction?
339
00:28:49,639 --> 00:28:52,877
Maybe I have, take a look at these.
Fresh out of the photo lab.
340
00:28:54,339 --> 00:28:56,808
Sharks don't talk, the
fingerprints spell Kelly.
341
00:28:56,868 --> 00:28:59,413
The Coroner said he was dead two
hours before he hit the water.
342
00:28:59,473 --> 00:29:01,807
Too bad. With the information
Kelly had for us
343
00:29:01,867 --> 00:29:04,186
we could have put Vince
away for a long stretch.
344
00:29:05,335 --> 00:29:07,066
What's eating you, Joe?
345
00:29:07,563 --> 00:29:09,295
I was a smart cop.
346
00:29:09,355 --> 00:29:12,712
I put Petey away to get him off of
Kelly's tail, and this is what happens.
347
00:29:12,772 --> 00:29:14,594
I feel like I killed Kelly.
348
00:29:14,654 --> 00:29:16,897
Riccardi...think he's tied up in it?
349
00:29:16,957 --> 00:29:19,909
Walking back into town that day
could tie him up in anything.
350
00:29:20,237 --> 00:29:22,706
Is the case my baby?
-All yours.
351
00:29:24,916 --> 00:29:26,301
Now what?
352
00:29:26,361 --> 00:29:28,936
I figure we shouldn't keep
it a secret from Vince.
353
00:29:40,844 --> 00:29:43,087
Only six days in the week now, huh?
354
00:29:43,455 --> 00:29:46,557
How do you like that, the card
must have fell out.
355
00:29:46,617 --> 00:29:48,604
It was there yesterday. Nick...
356
00:29:48,664 --> 00:29:50,125
Who's Jane Doe?
357
00:29:50,185 --> 00:29:52,817
Please, Lieutenant. I don't look
at their birth certificate.
358
00:29:52,877 --> 00:29:55,075
Lots of people don't use
their right names.
359
00:29:55,135 --> 00:29:59,002
With me, a buck is a buck.
I don't ask questions.
360
00:29:59,318 --> 00:30:02,435
Before I'm through, Nick...
you'll be answering a few.
361
00:30:08,026 --> 00:30:12,377
It's gettin' so you can't tail a guy anymore
without having the cops jump on ya.
362
00:30:12,437 --> 00:30:14,666
This town's goin' to the dogs.
363
00:30:14,981 --> 00:30:18,143
Samson and me...
-Petey! Get that cat off the desk!
364
00:30:18,776 --> 00:30:22,133
I was just saying, Samson and
me could stand a vacation.
365
00:30:22,389 --> 00:30:25,340
You want us to blow town?
-That's just what I don't want.
366
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,047
Coke will set you up, and stay quiet!
367
00:30:28,107 --> 00:30:30,667
Well, sure Vince, sure.
Anything you say.
368
00:31:05,567 --> 00:31:06,922
Hello, Danny.
369
00:31:16,370 --> 00:31:18,327
Come in. Come in, Joe.
370
00:31:18,674 --> 00:31:22,543
Pull up a chair and rest your feet.
I hear you've had a busy day.
371
00:31:26,329 --> 00:31:29,099
I figured you would.
I was saving you for last.
372
00:31:30,183 --> 00:31:31,644
Should I...
373
00:31:31,930 --> 00:31:33,993
relax or call in my lawyer?
374
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:36,698
That depends on how nervous you are.
375
00:31:36,758 --> 00:31:39,529
I was always thought nervous
guys bit their nails?
376
00:31:39,589 --> 00:31:41,095
Now, let me see...
377
00:31:41,317 --> 00:31:44,675
Nick was a little bit hazy about
who Jane Doe was.
378
00:31:44,946 --> 00:31:47,144
I thought you might be able to tell me.
379
00:31:47,336 --> 00:31:49,113
Never heard of the girl.
380
00:31:49,173 --> 00:31:50,634
Then there's Petey.
381
00:31:50,694 --> 00:31:54,654
And how certain people got know where
and just when to bail him out.
382
00:31:54,714 --> 00:31:57,014
Now...nobody knows anything.
383
00:31:57,421 --> 00:31:58,912
But, we'll find him.
384
00:31:59,273 --> 00:32:01,863
We;ve got all exits out of town plugged.
385
00:32:03,697 --> 00:32:06,483
And I got a hunch he'll
be real cooperative.
386
00:32:06,769 --> 00:32:08,063
You see...
387
00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:10,698
I don't think he knows
anything about this.
388
00:32:11,090 --> 00:32:12,249
Kelly.
389
00:32:12,798 --> 00:32:15,162
He's gone and gotten himself killed.
390
00:32:15,915 --> 00:32:17,571
Just like Kelly...
391
00:32:17,842 --> 00:32:19,920
You never know what he'll do next.
392
00:32:20,191 --> 00:32:21,983
That goes for a lot of guys.
393
00:32:22,449 --> 00:32:23,910
Take you and...
394
00:32:24,482 --> 00:32:26,529
Then again, take Eddie Riccardi...
395
00:32:26,589 --> 00:32:29,962
You boys forgive and forget,
and back in business again.
396
00:32:31,037 --> 00:32:34,485
You and Riccardi got a lot in common,
why don't you ask him?
397
00:32:34,545 --> 00:32:36,352
At the moment, you're number one.
398
00:32:36,623 --> 00:32:40,281
And, it won't be any...manslaughter
charge and out in two years.
399
00:32:41,076 --> 00:32:43,048
I put you away this time...
400
00:32:43,334 --> 00:32:44,840
it'll be for keeps.
401
00:32:47,035 --> 00:32:50,031
You got all the answers figured
out, haven't you?
402
00:32:50,091 --> 00:32:52,636
I might have, sooner than you think.
403
00:32:53,959 --> 00:32:55,479
So sorry!
404
00:33:35,693 --> 00:33:39,292
Me, I never had a complaint.
You call my old boss.
405
00:33:39,352 --> 00:33:42,115
He'll tell you my bringing in 500
a night at the gambling tables
406
00:33:42,175 --> 00:33:44,344
was a small bag of tell.
407
00:33:45,169 --> 00:33:48,993
Oh, Mr Alexander! I just came in looking
for a job and I was telling Ms Martin...
408
00:33:49,053 --> 00:33:50,378
Get rid of her.
409
00:33:51,278 --> 00:33:55,238
Vince, we need some new talent...
-Okay! Okay! Come back at eight tonight.
410
00:33:55,298 --> 00:33:58,324
She'll tell you what to do.
-Oh, gee! Thanks!
411
00:34:01,806 --> 00:34:03,899
You know Eddie's still in town?
412
00:34:05,013 --> 00:34:06,172
Yes.
413
00:34:06,353 --> 00:34:08,024
Been around to see you?
414
00:34:09,667 --> 00:34:10,796
When?
415
00:34:11,534 --> 00:34:13,266
Late last night.
416
00:34:14,184 --> 00:34:16,548
Did he tell ya I gave him
24 hours to get out?
417
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,249
No.
418
00:34:19,872 --> 00:34:22,793
Well, I changed my mind.
I want him to stay.
419
00:34:23,049 --> 00:34:25,142
I want you to make sure he does stay.
420
00:34:26,876 --> 00:34:29,827
My job's to work the tables
for you here, Vince, and...
421
00:34:30,324 --> 00:34:34,961
I don't even mind setups like the one with
Petey or...other deals like that, but...
422
00:34:36,439 --> 00:34:37,613
Vince...
423
00:34:38,336 --> 00:34:40,534
Stay out of my personal life!
424
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:42,311
Listen you...
425
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,041
When Eddie dropped you, who picked
you up and gave you your health?
426
00:34:46,101 --> 00:34:49,053
Who gave you your job?
Everything you got?
427
00:34:49,459 --> 00:34:51,206
Vince Alexander!
428
00:34:52,806 --> 00:34:54,538
I won't do it, Vince.
429
00:34:54,598 --> 00:34:55,923
Forget Eddie.
430
00:34:55,983 --> 00:34:57,639
When I get through with him.
431
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,717
But, now you're gonna meet him.
432
00:35:00,715 --> 00:35:03,440
And, I want you to make sure
he does stay in town.
433
00:35:34,220 --> 00:35:35,566
What'll it be?
434
00:35:35,626 --> 00:35:37,854
Did five years make you
forget that easily?
435
00:35:37,914 --> 00:35:41,016
I told you...in five years you
can forget a lot of things.
436
00:35:41,076 --> 00:35:43,064
Something for the lady?
-Rob Roy, please.
437
00:35:43,124 --> 00:35:44,491
The same.
438
00:35:48,131 --> 00:35:50,932
What made you change your mind
about seeing me again?
439
00:35:54,897 --> 00:35:58,210
You know, finding out I was married
to you kind of threw me.
440
00:35:58,992 --> 00:36:02,169
It was even something the boys at
the hospital used to rib me about.
441
00:36:02,564 --> 00:36:05,605
They had me fixed up with a
wife and four or five kids.
442
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:09,881
They didn't know how close the
gag came to being true.
443
00:36:11,474 --> 00:36:13,672
You still don't believe me, do you?
444
00:36:21,056 --> 00:36:25,236
Maybe this'll convince you it was Eddie
Rice that rang your doorbell last night.
445
00:36:26,537 --> 00:36:29,909
Call Dr Kemble at Letterman's
Hospital in San Francisco.
446
00:36:31,007 --> 00:36:33,025
He'll tell you the whole story.
447
00:36:38,141 --> 00:36:39,767
Tha cigarette case...
448
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,323
Doesn't it mean anything to you?
449
00:36:47,468 --> 00:36:48,868
Should it?
450
00:36:54,926 --> 00:36:57,350
Suppose I did believe you, then what?
451
00:36:59,488 --> 00:37:03,569
Then, I'd try and make you forget that
Eddie Riccardi was ever in your life.
452
00:37:04,476 --> 00:37:06,403
You think you can do that?
453
00:37:07,216 --> 00:37:08,737
Eddie Rice can.
454
00:37:20,823 --> 00:37:22,570
Eddie, leave town.
455
00:37:24,533 --> 00:37:27,228
Now you're talking like Vince.
-Maybe I was yesterday.
456
00:37:27,288 --> 00:37:30,492
Don't ask me why, but go.
-Nina, I don't frighten easily.
457
00:37:30,552 --> 00:37:33,353
You can take that message back to Vince.
Tell him I'm staying!
458
00:37:33,413 --> 00:37:36,816
That's what he wants you to do. That's
why I'm here, to keep you from leaving.
459
00:37:36,876 --> 00:37:38,740
I'd hate to disappoint him then.
460
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,895
Eddie, don't be stubborn, I know Vince.
He doesn't do anything without a reason.
461
00:37:43,964 --> 00:37:45,530
Neither do I.
462
00:37:47,802 --> 00:37:52,590
Stay then! Get yourself beaten up again,
or killed. Do anything you want.
463
00:38:35,782 --> 00:38:38,267
Riccardi.
-Very interesting.
464
00:38:47,205 --> 00:38:48,936
Scotch over water.
465
00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:53,136
Lose something, Charlie?
466
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,406
Tell Nina Martin, Eddie wants to see her.
-Eddie who?
467
00:38:59,658 --> 00:39:01,103
Just Eddie.
468
00:39:01,630 --> 00:39:03,060
Wait here.
469
00:39:11,467 --> 00:39:12,943
What'll I need?
470
00:39:13,003 --> 00:39:15,653
A thousand might bring you luck.
-A thousand?
471
00:39:15,894 --> 00:39:17,475
Give me a thousand.
472
00:39:24,925 --> 00:39:27,891
A character called Eddie's outside,
wants to see you.
473
00:39:27,951 --> 00:39:29,412
Eddie here?
474
00:39:29,788 --> 00:39:31,204
Get rid of him!
475
00:39:31,425 --> 00:39:33,668
That's not what Vince had in mind.
476
00:39:43,422 --> 00:39:44,972
All right, come on.
477
00:39:53,097 --> 00:39:54,663
6...9...12!
478
00:39:54,919 --> 00:39:56,636
All bets down.
479
00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:04,549
It's a nice layout. Vince ought to be
able to pick up some fast money.
480
00:40:04,609 --> 00:40:07,063
You're crazy to come walking in here.
481
00:40:07,123 --> 00:40:09,273
Maybe I'm just hard to convince.
482
00:40:10,477 --> 00:40:12,374
My dressing room is back there.
483
00:40:13,925 --> 00:40:16,590
I'll be back before the
wheel stops turning.
484
00:40:34,853 --> 00:40:35,973
Yeah?
485
00:40:37,478 --> 00:40:38,939
Okay, thanks.
486
00:40:43,645 --> 00:40:45,813
So, she wanted to get rid of him.
487
00:40:47,179 --> 00:40:50,040
I wonder if that dame is trying
to pull a double cross.
488
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,129
Get down to the Golden Horn and pick up
Eddie Riccardi, you'll find him with Nina.
489
00:40:55,189 --> 00:40:56,270
Just him?
490
00:40:56,571 --> 00:40:57,746
Just him.
491
00:40:58,197 --> 00:41:00,110
I'll get around to her later.
492
00:41:03,747 --> 00:41:05,569
I started to leave...
493
00:41:05,794 --> 00:41:08,309
but I kept thinking about
everything you told me.
494
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,230
If I'd of left I'd been all the
things you said I was.
495
00:41:11,727 --> 00:41:13,232
So, I'm staying.
496
00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:17,505
And, I'm taking you out of here.
497
00:41:18,498 --> 00:41:19,673
Nina.
498
00:41:21,043 --> 00:41:23,436
We could have a decent life together.
499
00:41:26,553 --> 00:41:28,465
You got it all figured out.
500
00:41:31,452 --> 00:41:36,089
Well, you're not taking me anywhere.
You pushed me into this life and I like it.
501
00:41:36,481 --> 00:41:41,374
I'm top bait around here steering nice,
fat, pigeons to the gambling table.
502
00:41:41,434 --> 00:41:46,174
I'm one of Vince's kind now and I'm keeping
my life and my job just the way they are.
503
00:41:46,234 --> 00:41:48,026
No matter what I have to do!
504
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:49,934
Come on.
505
00:41:59,090 --> 00:42:00,144
Thanks.
506
00:42:10,804 --> 00:42:13,469
Now, how about some champagne?
507
00:42:14,389 --> 00:42:17,581
Excuse me for a minute, honey.
I forgot I got to call my wife.
508
00:42:32,729 --> 00:42:35,048
Williams, Homicide.
Yeah, Barnes.
509
00:42:36,509 --> 00:42:37,653
Yeah!
510
00:42:38,586 --> 00:42:39,881
Thanks a lot!
511
00:42:40,377 --> 00:42:41,898
What's exciting?
512
00:42:50,385 --> 00:42:54,646
I said, what's exciting? Or, don't
you want to wake me up?
513
00:42:55,138 --> 00:42:59,113
Barnes casing the Golden Horn for vice
intel, tells me Riccardi just walked in.
514
00:42:59,805 --> 00:43:01,266
Trouble maybe?
515
00:43:01,717 --> 00:43:04,924
I could think of plenty of reasons why
there might be for Eddie Rice.
516
00:43:05,478 --> 00:43:07,300
You'll hear from me later.
517
00:43:25,961 --> 00:43:28,189
How you coming with that
Kelly report, Ben?
518
00:43:28,249 --> 00:43:30,945
Just finishing up for you.
-Okay, I'll wait.
519
00:43:33,515 --> 00:43:36,586
Somebody must've believed in that
old gag about an apple a day.
520
00:43:36,646 --> 00:43:40,513
Yeah, but they didn't know it would pin
a murder on them. -Quite an appetite.
521
00:43:40,573 --> 00:43:43,253
Psychological, it creates
a false hunger.
522
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:50,156
Well, here you are, Joe.
I can go home now.
523
00:43:50,216 --> 00:43:53,454
Thanks a lot, Ben. See you tomorrow.
-Okay, see ya tomorrow.
524
00:44:06,875 --> 00:44:07,778
Yeah?
525
00:44:07,838 --> 00:44:10,970
I'm interested in Eddie Riccardi,
not in what's going on in there.
526
00:44:11,030 --> 00:44:13,680
We don't know from Riccardi.
-I do, open up.
527
00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:18,240
Place your bets, folks. Place your
bets. Bet high/low...odd or even.
528
00:44:38,711 --> 00:44:39,795
Yes?
529
00:44:39,990 --> 00:44:43,438
Miss Martin? Williams, Homicide.
May I come in please?
530
00:44:43,732 --> 00:44:44,982
Come in.
531
00:44:47,432 --> 00:44:50,820
Eddie was just picked up by Danny.
-Where'd he take him?
532
00:44:52,557 --> 00:44:54,424
You'll hear from me later.
533
00:45:14,826 --> 00:45:16,377
You know, Williams?
534
00:45:17,054 --> 00:45:19,524
I'm not used to cops with insomnia.
535
00:45:20,201 --> 00:45:22,791
What's on your mind?
-It won't take long.
536
00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:25,960
Danny picked up Eddie Riccardi.
Where are they?
537
00:45:27,537 --> 00:45:29,329
You're in an awful rut.
538
00:45:29,540 --> 00:45:31,497
Always asking questions.
539
00:45:31,557 --> 00:45:33,846
All right...let's start over.
540
00:45:34,581 --> 00:45:37,306
Eddie was at the Golden Horn
with Nina Martin.
541
00:45:37,366 --> 00:45:39,685
Suddenly, he wasn't there anymore.
542
00:45:40,208 --> 00:45:41,368
So...
543
00:45:41,578 --> 00:45:44,018
So...I don't mind waiting.
544
00:45:45,900 --> 00:45:48,053
While we kill a little time...
545
00:45:49,429 --> 00:45:51,176
This might interest you.
546
00:46:01,803 --> 00:46:05,733
And, after we pick up Riccardi...
we're going down to police headquarters.
547
00:46:06,034 --> 00:46:08,579
You're gonna have a manicure...on me.
548
00:46:10,294 --> 00:46:13,380
You know, you're gonna look awful
silly when I get through with you.
549
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,819
If I'm wrong...I'll apologize.
550
00:46:21,050 --> 00:46:23,264
Say hello, nothing more.
551
00:46:25,733 --> 00:46:26,862
Hello.
552
00:46:27,674 --> 00:46:31,408
Vince, we're at the shop. Do we
stay or bring Riccardi up there?
553
00:46:32,507 --> 00:46:34,238
Tell him you'll be down.
554
00:46:52,464 --> 00:46:53,699
Okay, Coke...
555
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,385
<i>Bring him up here.</i>
556
00:47:28,724 --> 00:47:30,530
What do you want now?
557
00:47:41,819 --> 00:47:44,605
Just when he was coming up
in the department.
558
00:49:14,591 --> 00:49:15,886
Car 9-4
559
00:49:15,946 --> 00:49:17,813
9-4 to Control-4.
560
00:49:17,873 --> 00:49:20,252
<i>Clear Frequency-4, this is an emergency.</i>
561
00:49:20,312 --> 00:49:23,126
Control-4 to 94, go ahead.
562
00:49:23,186 --> 00:49:25,099
<i>Car 94 to Control-4</i>
563
00:49:25,159 --> 00:49:29,209
<i>Notify the Homicide Bureau, we have found
the body of Lt Williams in his car.</i>
564
00:49:29,269 --> 00:49:31,133
At Sepulveda and Sunset.
565
00:50:17,423 --> 00:50:18,763
Give you a lift, son?
566
00:50:18,823 --> 00:50:21,485
Thanks, I had a little accident
back up a side road.
567
00:50:21,545 --> 00:50:24,556
I have to go to town, get a tow car.
-Anybody killed?
568
00:50:27,016 --> 00:50:29,561
No luck at all tonight.
Hop in.
569
00:50:39,349 --> 00:50:42,090
Bet you thought I wouldn't stop
to pick you up, didn't you?
570
00:50:42,150 --> 00:50:43,638
I didn't know.
571
00:50:43,698 --> 00:50:45,113
It's late.
-See...
572
00:50:45,173 --> 00:50:49,130
That's why I fooled you. Have me orders.
Pick up anybody, anytime.
573
00:50:49,747 --> 00:50:51,870
Green Acres Morticians policy.
574
00:50:52,094 --> 00:50:54,698
Live today...maybe a customer tomorrow.
575
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,400
Pays off too.
576
00:50:56,460 --> 00:50:59,848
Most people remember the nice things
you do for them while they're living.
577
00:50:59,908 --> 00:51:03,864
We sure don't get any complaints about our
service from them after they're dead.
578
00:51:03,924 --> 00:51:05,927
Their family, that is.
579
00:51:07,423 --> 00:51:09,441
That accident hurt you any?
580
00:51:10,992 --> 00:51:13,069
Got a match?
-Sure do.
581
00:51:19,645 --> 00:51:21,813
Police, ambulance and everything.
582
00:51:22,114 --> 00:51:24,312
I wonder if I'm losing any customers?
583
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:40,902
Finished with Joe's stuff yet?
-Still working on it.
584
00:51:43,326 --> 00:51:44,816
It's too bad...
585
00:51:45,434 --> 00:51:48,460
Joe's wife sure liked him
in that suit too.
586
00:52:13,311 --> 00:52:16,021
Any line on Riccardi yet?
-Nothing, Captain.
587
00:52:16,081 --> 00:52:19,710
Keep trying, he's the last one who
might of seen Joe. -Okay.
588
00:52:20,197 --> 00:52:21,718
Eddie Riccardi.
589
00:52:24,187 --> 00:52:26,445
Guess Williams was right after all.
590
00:52:26,701 --> 00:52:28,538
Riccardi or Rice.
591
00:52:28,826 --> 00:52:32,530
A Silver Star and a dumb look doesn't
change a no good heel.
592
00:52:33,147 --> 00:52:36,173
Attention all units!
Attention all units!
593
00:52:36,233 --> 00:52:40,175
Be on the lookout for the following
<i>described suspect, wanted for murder:</i>
594
00:52:40,551 --> 00:52:43,322
<i>Eddie Riccardi, alias Eddie Rice,</i>
595
00:52:43,589 --> 00:52:46,164
<i>White male, American,</i>
596
00:52:46,224 --> 00:52:49,341
<i>Age 33, 6 foot 2.</i>
597
00:52:49,729 --> 00:52:51,506
<i>190 lbs...</i>
598
00:52:51,957 --> 00:52:53,312
<i>Dark brown...</i>
599
00:52:53,659 --> 00:52:55,944
You phone the cops and do 'em a favor,
600
00:52:56,004 --> 00:53:00,024
where to find a dead cop and the guy
that did it, and what happens...
601
00:53:05,972 --> 00:53:08,035
The first stop is Nina Martin's.
602
00:53:08,276 --> 00:53:10,474
I want Eddie before the cops get him.
603
00:53:10,730 --> 00:53:12,913
Then they can have him for a present.
604
00:53:14,334 --> 00:53:15,915
And alive!
605
00:53:32,066 --> 00:53:33,843
Eddie!
-Shut up!
606
00:53:34,168 --> 00:53:36,065
Get those lights out!
607
00:53:37,285 --> 00:53:39,152
Eddie, what happened?
608
00:53:40,533 --> 00:53:43,951
You certainly did a neat job
of tying me into a murder.
609
00:53:44,011 --> 00:53:46,089
Joe Williams was killed tonight.
610
00:53:46,149 --> 00:53:47,901
You?
-I don't know.
611
00:53:47,961 --> 00:53:51,138
The last thing I remember was being slugged
over the head at Vince Alexander's.
612
00:53:51,198 --> 00:53:53,713
I know you think that...
-I haven't got time to think!
613
00:53:53,773 --> 00:53:57,811
All I want is a few bucks, your car and
you in my sight till I get out of here!
614
00:53:57,871 --> 00:53:59,874
Eddie, you've got to believe me!
615
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:01,335
Believe?
616
00:54:01,656 --> 00:54:03,508
Like you believed me?
617
00:54:03,885 --> 00:54:05,661
Give me the keys!
618
00:54:10,271 --> 00:54:14,017
Eddie! This is why I turned on you
tonight, to get you away from Vince.
619
00:54:14,077 --> 00:54:16,992
The keys are in the car, you go,
I'll try to stall them off.
620
00:54:17,224 --> 00:54:19,468
And get a bullet in the back of my head?
621
00:54:19,528 --> 00:54:22,404
Oh, Eddie! You've got to trust me,
it's your only chance.
622
00:54:24,815 --> 00:54:26,091
Quick!
623
00:54:26,444 --> 00:54:28,043
The garage.
624
00:55:25,770 --> 00:55:29,188
This is where you get out. -Go to the
police, Eddie. Before it's too late.
625
00:55:29,248 --> 00:55:32,400
With my fingerprints all over the
gun and all over Williams car?
626
00:55:32,460 --> 00:55:35,257
I wouldn't last long enough to walk
to the nearest police station.
627
00:55:35,317 --> 00:55:38,133
If I did what could I tell them?
Now out!
628
00:55:38,788 --> 00:55:41,737
You want me to go home and wait
for Vince to come back again?
629
00:55:41,797 --> 00:55:45,800
That's something Eddie Riccardo would
tell me to do, not Eddie Rice.
630
00:55:49,139 --> 00:55:50,606
All right.
631
00:56:06,538 --> 00:56:07,668
Stop.
632
00:56:11,312 --> 00:56:13,997
Keep your lights off and
the motor running.
633
00:56:57,233 --> 00:56:59,889
Well, now you've got a gun! What next?
634
00:57:01,213 --> 00:57:04,044
I didn't ask for any killings,
so I'm in the middle.
635
00:57:04,528 --> 00:57:07,711
But, I'm not going to be a clay
pigeon for Vince Alexander.
636
00:57:08,308 --> 00:57:10,513
You can't prove anything dead.
637
00:57:10,573 --> 00:57:14,597
That would make Vince very happy,
something I wouldn't want to let happen.
638
00:57:15,047 --> 00:57:18,758
Is there any place we could go, someone
you can trust to put us up for the night?
639
00:57:18,818 --> 00:57:20,299
I need time.
640
00:57:21,747 --> 00:57:23,404
Maybe there is.
641
00:57:23,464 --> 00:57:25,443
It's a long chance, but...
642
00:57:28,917 --> 00:57:31,763
You don't think you're going to
get away with this, do you?
643
00:57:32,276 --> 00:57:34,477
We're staying here till tomorrow.
644
00:57:42,766 --> 00:57:46,004
Stay away from that phone!
If it rings, let it keep ringing!
645
00:57:46,064 --> 00:57:48,953
Get rid of anybody who comes to
the door, I'll be right behind you
646
00:57:49,013 --> 00:57:50,845
in case you give the wrong answers.
647
00:57:55,517 --> 00:57:58,539
What about the girl's place?
-There and gone.
648
00:57:58,599 --> 00:58:02,705
Get a teletype out on her car immediately,
have it re-broadcast every half hour.
649
00:58:08,211 --> 00:58:10,661
I want roadblocks at all these points.
650
00:58:10,721 --> 00:58:12,705
I want the airport, the railroad station,
651
00:58:12,765 --> 00:58:15,536
all the bus terminals put
under a 24 surveillance.
652
00:58:15,596 --> 00:58:18,001
I want every hotel and
flophouse notified.
653
00:58:18,061 --> 00:58:20,818
They're in this town somewhere
and they're not getting out.
654
00:58:21,019 --> 00:58:22,354
One other thing...
655
00:58:22,414 --> 00:58:26,887
We picked up Riccardi's fingerprints on
that gun shop. He's got a gun now.
656
00:58:27,294 --> 00:58:29,421
Don't give him a chance to use it!
657
00:58:29,481 --> 00:58:31,284
All right, start moving.
658
00:58:31,344 --> 00:58:33,908
<i>The police tightened its dragnet
about the city today.</i>
659
00:58:33,968 --> 00:58:36,988
<i>Riccardi escaped just as the police
were ready to close in on him</i>
660
00:58:37,048 --> 00:58:39,197
<i>after they received an
anonymous phone call</i>
661
00:58:39,257 --> 00:58:42,292
<i>which led them to discover the murdered
body of one of their men today.</i>
662
00:58:42,352 --> 00:58:44,067
<i>Every available man...</i>
663
00:58:47,714 --> 00:58:49,958
We'll wait till it's dark
and get out of here.
664
00:58:50,018 --> 00:58:52,423
You couldn't arrange to
drop dead before then?
665
00:58:52,483 --> 00:58:55,606
Hazel, you've got to believe us.
Eddie didn't do it!
666
00:58:55,897 --> 00:58:57,936
He should still drop dead.
667
00:58:58,269 --> 00:58:59,604
Twice.
668
01:00:12,318 --> 01:00:13,477
Coke!
669
01:00:36,274 --> 01:00:38,401
Get me a couple of clean towels.
670
01:00:42,231 --> 01:00:43,771
It's pretty bad.
671
01:00:44,739 --> 01:00:49,052
I'll have you out of here in a minute,
we'll find a doctor. -Go to the police.
672
01:00:49,497 --> 01:00:51,448
Eddie, go to the police.
673
01:00:53,848 --> 01:00:55,961
Your car in the garage?
-Yes.
674
01:00:56,021 --> 01:00:58,704
Where are your keys?
-In my purse.
675
01:00:58,764 --> 01:01:00,288
Take care of her.
676
01:01:22,875 --> 01:01:23,843
Thanks.
677
01:01:23,903 --> 01:01:26,748
I'll have the doctor come right
in the moment he returns.
678
01:01:38,651 --> 01:01:40,602
Light me a cigarette.
679
01:02:02,498 --> 01:02:04,288
You're far away.
680
01:02:06,205 --> 01:02:07,614
How far?
681
01:02:09,418 --> 01:02:10,885
Five years.
682
01:02:11,545 --> 01:02:13,041
A lifetime.
683
01:02:14,259 --> 01:02:15,961
Beyond that, a blank.
684
01:02:17,162 --> 01:02:18,879
Me too, Eddie.
685
01:02:18,939 --> 01:02:21,270
Only, it's been a different
kind of a blank.
686
01:02:21,798 --> 01:02:24,453
It's being pushed back
to Eddie Riccardi.
687
01:02:24,937 --> 01:02:26,184
This.
688
01:02:26,811 --> 01:02:30,215
The whole past that keeps me
from being like other people.
689
01:02:30,992 --> 01:02:32,763
Now all that's left is
690
01:02:32,823 --> 01:02:36,460
wondering what it would be like if there
had only been an Eddie Rice.
691
01:02:38,540 --> 01:02:41,287
If I'd of just met you
for the first time.
692
01:02:43,087 --> 01:02:45,508
Eddie Rice can have that.
693
01:02:48,248 --> 01:02:50,610
Oh, you're...good, Eddie.
694
01:02:51,681 --> 01:02:53,368
You're good.
695
01:02:54,934 --> 01:02:57,622
You've taken away the hate in me.
696
01:02:58,176 --> 01:02:59,995
Destroyed it.
697
01:03:01,946 --> 01:03:03,912
You're...good, Eddie.
698
01:03:07,874 --> 01:03:10,573
When a baby wants to be born,
hours don't matter!
699
01:03:10,633 --> 01:03:12,554
7 poundsd 7ounces...a boy.
700
01:03:12,614 --> 01:03:14,549
Doctor, her shoulder...
701
01:03:29,779 --> 01:03:31,760
I can't treat gun wounds.
702
01:03:31,820 --> 01:03:34,679
She'll have to go to the police
emergency hospital.
703
01:03:34,739 --> 01:03:36,179
I don't think so.
704
01:03:36,239 --> 01:03:39,260
I'm sorry, but I've got to report
this to the police.
705
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:40,624
Doctor.
706
01:03:41,138 --> 01:03:43,191
That report to the police...
707
01:03:43,539 --> 01:03:44,918
It'll wait.
708
01:03:45,123 --> 01:03:47,368
If you want to pull that
trigger, go ahead.
709
01:03:49,535 --> 01:03:51,603
Police headquarters, please.
710
01:03:53,055 --> 01:03:56,092
Put that gun away! I said I was
going to call the police.
711
01:03:56,293 --> 01:03:57,775
Police headquarters?
712
01:03:57,980 --> 01:04:00,914
This is Dr Stacey, 93 Chestnut Street.
713
01:04:01,174 --> 01:04:03,492
Send an ambulance and a squad car.
714
01:04:09,003 --> 01:04:10,602
How bad is it?
715
01:04:14,534 --> 01:04:16,118
She'll be all right.
716
01:04:18,447 --> 01:04:20,262
You'd better leave.
717
01:04:27,035 --> 01:04:30,805
Eddie, I'm scared...I'm scared...
-Take it easy, you'll be all right.
718
01:04:30,865 --> 01:04:33,341
Not for me, for you.
-Listen...
719
01:04:33,531 --> 01:04:37,507
I'm leaving you for a little while.
I've got an idea, it might work.
720
01:04:37,567 --> 01:04:39,672
Something very important.
721
01:04:40,214 --> 01:04:44,395
You knew all about me. The people
I used to know, the places I went.
722
01:04:44,699 --> 01:04:46,855
Think for me, go back five years.
723
01:04:46,915 --> 01:04:51,110
Who was there? Just one person.
Give me the answers, quick!
724
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,289
What you say is my only chance,
the only chance I've got.
725
01:04:54,349 --> 01:04:58,231
The only one left is...Petey.
He can't be trusted with Vince.
726
01:04:58,291 --> 01:05:01,337
Where will I find him?
-Not him, he's... -Tell me!
727
01:05:01,759 --> 01:05:04,457
Two, three places on Main Street.
728
01:05:05,198 --> 01:05:07,034
Fourth and Main...
729
01:05:07,094 --> 01:05:10,091
And after Nina ran in front of him,
Coke never had a chance.
730
01:05:10,151 --> 01:05:11,748
That Eddie sure didn't miss.
731
01:05:11,808 --> 01:05:14,345
Coke took three, went right through
his breakfast, lunch and supper.
732
01:05:14,405 --> 01:05:16,575
Anybody come around, ask any questions?
733
01:05:16,635 --> 01:05:19,900
None I couldn't answer, Vince.
-Get back down and keep him company.
734
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,570
But...but, the police?
-That's exactly what I want!
735
01:05:22,630 --> 01:05:25,559
Tell him how Riccardi broke into your
apartment, found Coke there
736
01:05:25,619 --> 01:05:28,727
pulled his gun and fired. Now do
what I told you, just that!
737
01:05:29,035 --> 01:05:31,250
All right, Vince.
-Take her back!
738
01:05:35,048 --> 01:05:37,293
Eddie's got to find a doctor somewhere.
739
01:05:37,484 --> 01:05:39,581
And, if he does what I think, he'll...
740
01:05:39,772 --> 01:05:42,295
dump the girl...and start looking
for a hidewaway.
741
01:05:43,785 --> 01:05:44,973
Get going!
742
01:05:45,033 --> 01:05:48,039
Spread the news I got a personal
interest in Eddie Riccardi.
743
01:05:48,099 --> 01:05:50,870
I don't want anything to happen
to him...until I get there.
744
01:05:51,389 --> 01:05:53,443
Unless the cops get him first.
745
01:05:54,467 --> 01:05:57,841
You through with him, Doc?
-Yup. He was a fine specimen.
746
01:05:57,901 --> 01:06:00,041
Would have had a long life
if this hadn't happened.
747
01:06:00,101 --> 01:06:02,051
I'll send you my report in the morning.
748
01:06:05,694 --> 01:06:08,335
I'm sure you don't mind coming
downtown, Miss Downs?
749
01:06:08,395 --> 01:06:10,477
Well, I...
-I thought not.
750
01:06:12,659 --> 01:06:14,859
What'd you find?
-It was them all right.
751
01:06:14,919 --> 01:06:17,471
Riccardi left the doctor's office
about 30 minutes ago
752
01:06:17,531 --> 01:06:20,830
Notify Communications? -They're blanketing
the whole area. -The girl?
753
01:06:20,890 --> 01:06:25,608
County Jail Hospital. Still out, whether
she's playing it safe or just not talking.
754
01:06:25,668 --> 01:06:29,085
Keep Melon there, the minute she comes
out, I want to know. -Any ideas?
755
01:06:29,145 --> 01:06:31,970
Lots! We need Riccardi to
explain some of them.
756
01:06:32,157 --> 01:06:34,196
If he lives that long.
757
01:06:38,347 --> 01:06:41,120
Hello. I'm looking for Petey,
have you seen him?
758
01:06:42,691 --> 01:06:44,671
Do you know where to find him?
759
01:06:57,552 --> 01:07:00,780
<i>Nina said three or four places,
I must have hit twenty.</i>
760
01:07:01,245 --> 01:07:03,196
<i>And every answer the same.</i>
761
01:07:03,710 --> 01:07:04,810
<i>No.</i>
762
01:07:05,803 --> 01:07:08,605
<i>The shake of their head,
a frightened face.</i>
763
01:07:10,111 --> 01:07:14,043
<i>They knew where I could find what I was
looking for, but they wouldn't talk.</i>
764
01:07:14,483 --> 01:07:16,141
<i>They were scared.</i>
765
01:08:08,257 --> 01:08:11,660
But, Vince! Appreciate the fact
that at least I called you.
766
01:08:11,961 --> 01:08:14,015
I let him stay, it's another rap.
767
01:08:14,075 --> 01:08:17,623
Another rap, I get life! You've
got to appreciate that!
768
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,296
And I'd appreciate it if you'd
tell me where to find Petey.
769
01:08:24,044 --> 01:08:25,306
Right now!
770
01:08:25,366 --> 01:08:26,758
Sure, Eddie.
771
01:08:27,096 --> 01:08:28,152
Sure.
772
01:08:34,841 --> 01:08:36,822
Ocean Boulevard and 25th.
773
01:09:43,996 --> 01:09:46,490
Who's there? Who is it?
-Eddie.
774
01:09:47,355 --> 01:09:48,910
Eddie Riccardi.
775
01:09:49,277 --> 01:09:52,886
Oh, Eddie boy. Every cop in the
city is out gunning for you!
776
01:09:53,350 --> 01:09:55,403
Maybe you don't care if you live...
777
01:09:55,711 --> 01:09:57,604
I got a few more years left!
778
01:09:57,839 --> 01:09:59,526
Open the door, Petey.
779
01:10:00,083 --> 01:10:01,799
You're dead if you don't.
780
01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:04,769
All right, Eddie.
781
01:10:12,804 --> 01:10:15,914
You didn't think I'd leave you out
there in the cold, did you Eddie?
782
01:10:16,545 --> 01:10:20,550
Five years, no see! But, you sure got
a hot fire burning under you, huh?
783
01:10:21,019 --> 01:10:22,105
Yeah.
784
01:10:24,891 --> 01:10:26,900
You need a pal, a friend.
785
01:10:30,025 --> 01:10:32,240
Sure, I need a friend, Petey.
786
01:10:32,483 --> 01:10:36,263
Look, old friend... Will you...will
you put that mouthpiece away?
787
01:10:36,323 --> 01:10:39,153
Somehow I...I still believe they go off!
788
01:10:39,926 --> 01:10:42,669
And, Samson my cat, you remember my cat?
789
01:10:44,180 --> 01:10:46,439
He's not feeling too good again.
790
01:10:46,949 --> 01:10:49,545
You stay careful and
nothing will happen.
791
01:10:49,605 --> 01:10:53,110
Oh sure. Sure, Eddie. You're
talking to Petey, remember?
792
01:10:53,340 --> 01:10:55,746
Any objections to my moving in with you?
793
01:10:56,025 --> 01:10:58,416
I'll be gone, tomorrow or the next day.
794
01:10:58,476 --> 01:11:01,771
Oh, me? Turn away practically,
my own flesh and blood?
795
01:11:03,341 --> 01:11:04,822
Relax, Eddie.
796
01:11:08,491 --> 01:11:11,308
There you are, Eddie. Nothing's
too good for you.
797
01:11:12,355 --> 01:11:16,154
How about some food, Petey?
I haven't eaten all night.
798
01:11:16,536 --> 01:11:18,370
You haven't changed a bit.
799
01:11:18,590 --> 01:11:20,086
Always hungry!
800
01:11:20,146 --> 01:11:22,022
Still tied up with Vince?
801
01:11:24,002 --> 01:11:27,670
I do a little private eyeing on the side.
A job here, a job there.
802
01:11:28,007 --> 01:11:29,284
Nothing big.
803
01:11:31,150 --> 01:11:32,705
I'll telephone.
804
01:11:43,749 --> 01:11:47,358
Hello, friend? Petey! I got
a special customer.
805
01:11:47,828 --> 01:11:49,852
Yeah. Yeah, an old one.
806
01:11:50,881 --> 01:11:54,094
How about sending something over?
He's tired and hungry.
807
01:11:54,813 --> 01:11:56,778
A pot of coffee and a sandwich.
808
01:11:56,969 --> 01:11:58,011
Turkey.
809
01:11:58,266 --> 01:11:59,352
Tongue
810
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:01,684
Egg salad combination.
811
01:12:02,638 --> 01:12:04,442
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
812
01:12:05,543 --> 01:12:06,863
You got it.
813
01:12:12,752 --> 01:12:16,068
You see, Eddie? Everything's
just like old times.
814
01:12:16,655 --> 01:12:18,474
If you say so, Petey.
815
01:12:20,114 --> 01:12:21,948
I'm gettin' kinda sleepy.
816
01:12:22,271 --> 01:12:25,308
You just make yourself at home,
food will be along pretty soon.
817
01:12:25,368 --> 01:12:28,183
Vince has gotten to be a big
man the last five years.
818
01:12:28,675 --> 01:12:31,168
I'm really gettin' pretty tired, friend.
819
01:12:31,228 --> 01:12:33,457
Why don't you bring me
up to date, Petey?
820
01:12:33,517 --> 01:12:35,247
I'm really awful tired, friend!
821
01:12:35,307 --> 01:12:37,501
How long will it take Vince to get here?
822
01:12:37,971 --> 01:12:40,861
Eddie...Eddie, you...you embarrass me.
823
01:12:41,135 --> 01:12:43,834
I'll kill you if you don't give
it to me straight, Petey!
824
01:12:43,894 --> 01:12:47,047
Eddie...Eddie, don't talk like that.
Samson's sick!
825
01:12:47,543 --> 01:12:50,403
I'm telling you, Eddie!
-What are you telling me? How long?
826
01:12:50,463 --> 01:12:53,557
Five minutes? Ten? Fifteen minutes?
Twenty minutes?
827
01:12:54,096 --> 01:12:57,015
About...about fifteen minutes, Eddie.
828
01:12:57,323 --> 01:13:00,902
Vince puts you on the spot!
He's that way with all the boys!
829
01:13:01,162 --> 01:13:04,781
Blow Eddie! Take me with you.
You and me was always friends!
830
01:13:04,841 --> 01:13:08,273
You just stay in front of me and keep your
mouth shut and you won't get into trouble.
831
01:13:08,333 --> 01:13:11,265
Sure, Eddie! You got nothing
to worry about from me.
832
01:13:11,325 --> 01:13:14,361
Just stay my friend, Petey.
-Yeah, Eddie.
833
01:13:27,837 --> 01:13:29,935
You're retired, you can go home now.
834
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:32,601
Your friend want a ride?
-Not tonight.
835
01:13:34,995 --> 01:13:36,151
$2.80
836
01:13:36,711 --> 01:13:39,616
This will get you a thousand.
Come on, Petey.
837
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,005
Take care of Petey.
838
01:15:45,187 --> 01:15:46,434
Eddie!
839
01:15:46,625 --> 01:15:48,165
Let's get out of here!
840
01:15:49,661 --> 01:15:51,158
Go ahead, Petey.
841
01:15:51,610 --> 01:15:52,974
Thanks, Eddie.
842
01:15:54,148 --> 01:15:55,615
They're coming!
843
01:18:02,988 --> 01:18:04,191
Eddie.
844
01:18:04,792 --> 01:18:06,274
Can you hear me?
845
01:18:09,079 --> 01:18:10,898
We can make a break.
846
01:18:11,558 --> 01:18:13,319
Cover for each other.
847
01:18:14,096 --> 01:18:15,739
I got a place.
848
01:18:17,148 --> 01:18:18,820
You and me, Eddie.
849
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,342
We'll start up again.
850
01:18:22,914 --> 01:18:25,056
Just like old times.
851
01:18:30,072 --> 01:18:31,671
I got money, Eddie.
852
01:18:32,992 --> 01:18:34,327
Big money!
853
01:18:37,521 --> 01:18:39,355
Samson! Samson!
854
01:18:39,986 --> 01:18:41,159
Samson!
855
01:18:43,096 --> 01:18:44,841
Petey! Come back!
856
01:18:46,807 --> 01:18:47,908
Samson.
857
01:18:48,318 --> 01:18:50,446
Samson, baby. Samson.
858
01:19:47,773 --> 01:19:50,091
Riccardi! Alexander!
859
01:19:50,292 --> 01:19:53,813
We'll give you three minutes to come out.
We're gonna start counting.
860
01:19:54,135 --> 01:19:57,920
At the end of three minutes if you're
not out, we're coming to get you!
861
01:19:58,429 --> 01:20:00,600
This is your last chance, Eddie.
862
01:20:01,862 --> 01:20:04,121
There's just you and me left now.
863
01:20:04,181 --> 01:20:05,676
No deal, Vince.
864
01:20:06,455 --> 01:20:08,538
I know you killed Joe Williams.
865
01:20:08,978 --> 01:20:10,357
Okay...
866
01:20:11,516 --> 01:20:13,071
No deals.
867
01:21:51,795 --> 01:21:54,993
We want you, Riccardi..
Alive, Alexander!
868
01:21:55,595 --> 01:21:58,646
If you're in there and not wounded,
bring Riccardi out.
869
01:21:59,653 --> 01:22:03,761
You, Riccardi! If you're alone, come
out with your hands in the air!
870
01:22:06,712 --> 01:22:09,176
Here's when you and I part company.
871
01:22:09,396 --> 01:22:12,081
You're gonna get paid off in full.
872
01:22:41,345 --> 01:22:43,574
Thanks for bringing him out, Vince.
873
01:22:43,853 --> 01:22:47,169
Now, drop your gun.
I said drop your gun, Vince!
874
01:22:49,233 --> 01:22:51,932
Eddie will take what I
got first, Anderson!
875
01:22:54,015 --> 01:22:56,568
All police officers hold your fire!
876
01:22:57,552 --> 01:22:59,532
Don't be crazy, Alexander.
877
01:22:59,899 --> 01:23:02,774
There have been enough people killed.
Give yourself up.
878
01:23:02,834 --> 01:23:04,491
No bargains, Anderson!
879
01:23:04,551 --> 01:23:06,487
You want Riccardi alive...
880
01:23:06,547 --> 01:23:07,866
I want out!
881
01:23:07,926 --> 01:23:10,682
What guarantee have I got that
you won't kill Riccardi?
882
01:23:10,742 --> 01:23:13,250
You don't!
-Be sensible, Alexander.
883
01:23:13,979 --> 01:23:16,854
If we let you out now,
we'll get you later.
884
01:23:17,089 --> 01:23:19,040
You'll be dead before morning.
885
01:23:19,245 --> 01:23:21,930
You got 30 seconds to make
up your mind, Anderson!
886
01:23:22,688 --> 01:23:24,053
I go...
887
01:23:24,361 --> 01:23:26,415
or Riccardi gets it in the back!
888
01:23:29,595 --> 01:23:31,388
Sat down, Eddie! Don't move!
889
01:24:05,464 --> 01:24:06,711
Is he dead?
890
01:24:06,771 --> 01:24:09,234
He will be if we don't get
him to a hospital.
891
01:24:15,716 --> 01:24:19,090
That taxi driver must have really
gotten to you in a hurry.
892
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,980
He did, asking for a $1000 reward.
893
01:24:22,337 --> 01:24:26,826
And all the questions you want to ask...
I called Dr Kemble from San Francisco.
894
01:24:27,149 --> 01:24:31,242
We knew Vince killed Jow Williams,
we found his blood on Joe's clothing.
895
01:24:31,604 --> 01:24:34,435
It matched up with our
lab files, yours didn't.
896
01:24:34,740 --> 01:24:37,351
And, Hazel told us the truth about Coke.
897
01:24:37,747 --> 01:24:41,254
Now, just get well. We'll finish
our business later.
898
01:24:42,217 --> 01:24:43,391
Nina...
899
01:24:43,451 --> 01:24:45,782
She's fine...in the waiting room.
900
01:25:05,063 --> 01:25:08,173
You shouldn't kiss a guy like
that when he's sick in bed.
901
01:25:10,205 --> 01:25:14,254
Well, I've been waiting outside all the
time. They wouldn't tell me anything.
902
01:25:14,314 --> 01:25:15,970
I was afraid...
903
01:25:17,151 --> 01:25:18,647
It's all right.
904
01:25:19,674 --> 01:25:21,170
We'll go away.
905
01:25:21,230 --> 01:25:24,222
We'll find that...crazy world of yours.
906
01:25:25,698 --> 01:25:27,151
Sure.
907
01:25:30,408 --> 01:25:32,373
There's only one thing...
908
01:25:33,675 --> 01:25:35,494
You'll always be...
909
01:25:35,758 --> 01:25:37,298
Eddie Rice.
910
01:25:38,853 --> 01:25:40,540
For the rest of my life.
911
01:25:40,990 --> 01:25:43,059
I have the doc's word for him.
912
01:25:44,673 --> 01:25:46,110
Come here.

After sustaining a head wound in combat, decorated World War II veteran Eddie Rice (John Payne) is treated at a San Francisco military hospital for a permanent form of amnesia. This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.
Rice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely.

1
00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556
This is the Letterman General Hosiptal
at San Francisco, California.
2
00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219
For those outside these gates the
war is over, a thing of the past.
3
00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888
For those behind these gates there's a
grim, hard, bitter fight still going on.
4
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518
Take one case, the case
of Eddie Rice, age 33.
5
00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206
Enlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.
Holder of the Silver Star, but today...
6
00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026
A name and date number, a medical file.
For five years a chart on a hospital bed.
7
00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340
A victim of amnesia.
A mind with a blocked out past.
8
00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127
Where were you born, Eddie?
Who are your parents?
9
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912
Any brothers? Sisters?
10
00:01:54,277 --> 00:01:58,775
Where did you go to school?
What's your trade? Profession?
11
00:01:59,433 --> 00:02:01,748
Are you rich?
Poor?
12
00:02:02,051 --> 00:02:03,689
Got a girl?
13
00:02:03,915 --> 00:02:05,289
Married?
14
00:02:05,349 --> 00:02:06,869
I don't know.
15
00:02:07,378 --> 00:02:09,015
I don't know!
16
00:02:09,824 --> 00:02:11,537
I can't remember.
17
00:02:12,444 --> 00:02:14,571
I just can't remember, doctor.
18
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:30,922
You had me open. What did you quit for?
-We did the best we could, Eddie.
19
00:02:31,218 --> 00:02:33,439
It'll just have to stay there.
20
00:02:34,606 --> 00:02:38,483
Is that final?
-Unless you want your name on a headstone.
21
00:02:38,543 --> 00:02:43,592
That shrapnel's too deep in your brain.
Scar tissue has grown all around it.
22
00:02:43,652 --> 00:02:46,980
Believe me, we tried.
-Yeah, I guess you did.
23
00:02:48,391 --> 00:02:52,551
Where do I go from here?
-Eddie, there are two kinds of amnesia:
24
00:02:52,611 --> 00:02:54,895
psychological and organic.
25
00:02:55,178 --> 00:03:00,240
The psychological form is temporary, but
it can be cured through psychotherapy.
26
00:03:01,016 --> 00:03:03,876
Yours is organic, it's permanent.
27
00:03:04,347 --> 00:03:07,772
That piece of steel in your brain
has blocked out your memory.
28
00:03:07,832 --> 00:03:10,863
Which doesn't leave me much
of a future, does it?
29
00:03:10,923 --> 00:03:15,071
Of course it does, physically
you're normal and healthy.
30
00:03:15,131 --> 00:03:17,771
You've received the maximum
medical benefits
31
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:22,559
You've completed training courses that make
you fit to hold down a job and face life.
32
00:03:23,499 --> 00:03:26,540
With no address, no next
of kin, nothing.
33
00:03:27,489 --> 00:03:29,567
Enlisted from Los Angeles...
34
00:03:29,627 --> 00:03:32,397
Intelligence ran that down
for us, remember?
35
00:03:32,867 --> 00:03:35,818
Oh sure, there were a lot of
people named Rice there...
36
00:03:36,026 --> 00:03:37,682
but not this Eddie Rice.
37
00:03:37,742 --> 00:03:41,777
But, Army Intelligence didn't mow
Los Angeles lawns as a kid, Eddie.
38
00:03:41,837 --> 00:03:44,292
They didn't trade at the corner market.
39
00:03:44,352 --> 00:03:48,775
They didn't work with people in a factory,
in an office, as you might have done.
40
00:03:48,986 --> 00:03:50,136
Now...
41
00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:54,081
If you went down there...and ran
into somebody who knew you,
42
00:03:54,141 --> 00:03:55,918
just one person...
43
00:03:56,384 --> 00:03:57,694
Yes...
44
00:03:58,992 --> 00:04:01,702
If I ran into just one person
who knew me.
45
00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:03,689
One guy...
46
00:04:04,785 --> 00:04:07,149
Who would come up to me and say:
47
00:04:07,616 --> 00:04:08,775
"Eddie."
48
00:04:08,986 --> 00:04:10,491
"Eddie Rice."
49
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:12,253
"How have you been?"
50
00:04:12,581 --> 00:04:14,132
"Where have you been?"
51
00:04:14,192 --> 00:04:15,577
That's it, Eddie.
52
00:04:15,637 --> 00:04:18,766
And then, they'd tell me about
someone else I used to know.
53
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:21,626
And, I'd meet somebody else.
54
00:04:22,635 --> 00:04:24,141
And another...
55
00:04:25,342 --> 00:04:26,908
And another...
56
00:04:57,774 --> 00:05:00,996
<i>Sure, it scares you to go out into
a world you don't remember...</i>
57
00:05:01,484 --> 00:05:02,959
<i>but you're here now.</i>
58
00:05:03,742 --> 00:05:05,473
<i>It'll be a new life.</i>
59
00:05:05,805 --> 00:05:07,295
<i>A new start.</i>
60
00:05:08,231 --> 00:05:10,189
<i>Find yourself a place to live.</i>
61
00:05:10,957 --> 00:05:12,613
<i>Get yourself a job.</i>
62
00:05:13,290 --> 00:05:14,540
<i>Get going.</i>
63
00:05:15,353 --> 00:05:16,919
<i>Get going, Eddie!</i>
64
00:05:19,198 --> 00:05:20,357
Eddie!
65
00:05:20,417 --> 00:05:22,736
You know, it's a small world, Eddie.
66
00:05:22,796 --> 00:05:25,266
We came down here to pick
up a little of one thing,
67
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:28,650
and we ran into a little of another!
-A lot of us thought you were dead.
68
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:32,851
Yes, and...those that didn't hoped you
were. What are you doing in town?
69
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,642
I'm just in from San Francisco.
70
00:05:36,702 --> 00:05:40,060
I didn't ask you that.
-He asked you what you were doing in town.
71
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,354
I cam here to look up some...people.
72
00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:45,989
Funny, I...I had a feeling that was it.
73
00:05:46,049 --> 00:05:48,443
Anderson one of them?
-Anderson?
74
00:05:49,719 --> 00:05:50,698
Maybe.
75
00:05:50,758 --> 00:05:54,251
I think you're lying, Eddie. I don't think you
were gonna look up Anderson at all.
76
00:05:54,311 --> 00:05:57,458
Barrett, do you think he was gonna
look up Anderson? -No, Joe.
77
00:05:57,699 --> 00:06:00,108
Not Anderson.
-I'll tell you what...
78
00:06:00,168 --> 00:06:02,737
I got a car and nothing
to do for a while...
79
00:06:02,797 --> 00:06:05,478
Let's go see Anderson together.
Any objections?
80
00:06:07,616 --> 00:06:09,016
No objections.
81
00:06:09,076 --> 00:06:11,256
Stick around, Kelly may still show.
82
00:06:11,452 --> 00:06:12,506
Let's go.
83
00:06:35,122 --> 00:06:37,667
'Honorable discharge of Edward Rice.'
84
00:06:41,972 --> 00:06:43,568
What's the gimmick?
85
00:06:44,110 --> 00:06:46,399
If you'd put away your blackjacks
long enough
86
00:06:46,459 --> 00:06:48,431
maybe I could get it through
your heads that...
87
00:06:48,491 --> 00:06:50,714
I don't know what you're talking about.
88
00:06:50,774 --> 00:06:52,912
You got yourself a sense
of humor, Eddie.
89
00:06:52,972 --> 00:06:56,010
You think you come back here with
a dumb look and a Silver Star...
90
00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:58,958
That changes a no good heel?
-But, I'm trying to tell you that...
91
00:06:59,018 --> 00:07:01,382
You don't have to tell us
anything about yourself.
92
00:07:01,442 --> 00:07:03,881
We got it all down in black and white.
93
00:07:06,019 --> 00:07:07,630
Read it, Riccardi.
94
00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:09,313
We didn't dream it up.
95
00:07:09,795 --> 00:07:12,355
Possession of a weapon
with intent to kill.
96
00:07:12,882 --> 00:07:14,553
Suspicion of murder.
97
00:07:17,184 --> 00:07:18,566
<i>Riccardi...</i>
98
00:07:19,274 --> 00:07:20,960
<i>Eddie Riccardi.</i>
99
00:07:21,638 --> 00:07:25,236
<i>That's not me, it can't be.
It only looks like me!</i>
100
00:07:26,348 --> 00:07:29,103
<i>I better get out of here!
I've got to get out!</i>
101
00:07:29,163 --> 00:07:33,093
Five years ago we hustled you out of town,
for good. Now what are you here for?
102
00:07:34,253 --> 00:07:35,939
<i>You've got to play ball.</i>
103
00:07:35,999 --> 00:07:39,153
<i>You need time. You need more
time to find out about yourself.</i>
104
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,894
Riccardi's just playing dumb, Captain.
105
00:07:42,556 --> 00:07:44,122
Put him in the lockup.
106
00:07:44,498 --> 00:07:47,085
I'm finding about these...
discharge papers.
107
00:07:47,145 --> 00:07:49,358
If they're phonies, we'll pin a
real one on him.
108
00:07:49,418 --> 00:07:50,999
Just a minute, Lieutenant.
109
00:07:52,426 --> 00:07:56,627
I guess, maybe I didn't want the army
to know about Eddie...Riccardi.
110
00:07:57,317 --> 00:08:00,133
The only friends I have
know me as Eddie Rice.
111
00:08:00,916 --> 00:08:02,813
I'd like to keep it that way.
112
00:08:03,219 --> 00:08:05,945
That's probably the first honest
thing you've ever said.
113
00:08:06,005 --> 00:08:07,537
Pick up your things.
114
00:08:10,967 --> 00:08:14,008
Be Eddie Rice in some other
town, but not here.
115
00:08:14,068 --> 00:08:18,540
Now, we can't hold you, but...you step
out of line once and we step on you.
116
00:08:26,034 --> 00:08:28,278
Notice anything different
about him, Williams?
117
00:08:28,338 --> 00:08:31,138
Nothing! If Riccardi stays in town
there's gonna be trouble.
118
00:08:31,198 --> 00:08:34,210
I don't know. He had a strange
look about him.
119
00:08:34,667 --> 00:08:37,934
Send to Washington for a complete
report on Edward Rice.
120
00:08:37,994 --> 00:08:40,870
That Silver Star, you really
do something to get one.
121
00:08:40,930 --> 00:08:43,686
Yeah, buy it in a pawn
shop for two bits.
122
00:09:01,270 --> 00:09:04,944
Nina, my sweet!
My beautiful, lovely...
123
00:09:05,004 --> 00:09:07,609
All right, Nick! Let's keep
it all business.
124
00:09:10,063 --> 00:09:13,240
Who is it this time?
-Petey. Suspicion of robbery.
125
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:16,251
Get him out before they start
shifting him around. -Petey?
126
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:17,588
Him?
127
00:09:17,648 --> 00:09:19,726
He wouldn't steal his own shadow.
128
00:09:19,786 --> 00:09:22,056
That was William's gag to get
him out of the way.
129
00:09:22,116 --> 00:09:25,670
I wouldn't know. Bail's $1000.
-Inflation!
130
00:09:25,730 --> 00:09:27,823
That's the whole trouble these days.
131
00:09:28,847 --> 00:09:30,714
Alexander, he unhappy?
132
00:09:31,252 --> 00:09:34,188
Nick. Keep your mind on your business.
133
00:09:34,248 --> 00:09:36,233
Let Vince worry about his, huh?
134
00:09:36,293 --> 00:09:39,259
Sure, beautiful Sure.
Forget I mentioned it.
135
00:09:53,907 --> 00:09:55,970
Take my advice, you leave town.
136
00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:57,837
I've got things to do.
137
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,125
Adios, boy! You're on your own.
138
00:10:04,466 --> 00:10:05,941
Kelly never showed.
139
00:10:06,001 --> 00:10:07,071
Odd.
140
00:10:07,131 --> 00:10:08,606
We'll hear from him.
141
00:10:18,132 --> 00:10:20,074
One of the usual fronts?
142
00:10:21,098 --> 00:10:24,064
You have a lot of Jane Does, Nick.
Use one of them.
143
00:10:26,732 --> 00:10:28,328
Of course, there's a big difference
144
00:10:28,388 --> 00:10:30,617
between the Florida oranges
and the California oranges.
145
00:10:30,677 --> 00:10:33,131
At least that's what the Chamber
of Commerce in Florida says.
146
00:10:33,191 --> 00:10:35,661
And the Chamber of Commerce
in California says...
147
00:10:35,872 --> 00:10:37,874
Orange juice, please.
-Yes, ma'am.
148
00:10:41,153 --> 00:10:42,388
Eddie.
149
00:10:44,691 --> 00:10:47,281
I thought it was you from
across the street.
150
00:10:48,856 --> 00:10:49,940
Hello.
151
00:10:51,204 --> 00:10:53,794
Is that the only thing
you've got to say?
152
00:10:54,110 --> 00:10:56,640
Well, there's a lot more
I could say, but...
153
00:10:57,107 --> 00:10:58,311
but you...
154
00:10:59,299 --> 00:11:00,609
Let's see...
155
00:11:01,814 --> 00:11:03,425
Nacy Morgan?
156
00:11:03,711 --> 00:11:05,051
Nora Murphy?
157
00:11:05,292 --> 00:11:09,176
No, you don't look like Nora Murphy.
-What'd you come back for, Eddie?
158
00:11:10,216 --> 00:11:12,610
A man has a right to come
home, hasn't he?
159
00:11:14,552 --> 00:11:17,699
My car is across the street,
I'll take you there.
160
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:18,994
Sure!
161
00:11:19,175 --> 00:11:20,228
Thanks.
162
00:11:45,318 --> 00:11:47,089
Vince know you're back?
163
00:11:47,149 --> 00:11:48,360
Vince?
164
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,025
Should he?
165
00:11:51,762 --> 00:11:53,419
You oughta know.
166
00:12:02,797 --> 00:12:04,499
Thanks for the lift.
167
00:12:07,503 --> 00:12:08,828
Coming in?
168
00:12:09,264 --> 00:12:11,447
Who said this was the end of the road?
169
00:12:12,833 --> 00:12:15,091
Who's complaining? Not me.
170
00:12:40,205 --> 00:12:41,530
Checking in?
171
00:12:41,771 --> 00:12:42,870
Long?
172
00:12:44,466 --> 00:12:45,896
I don't know yet.
173
00:12:46,739 --> 00:12:48,019
Alone?
174
00:12:48,648 --> 00:12:49,672
Yes.
175
00:12:52,517 --> 00:12:55,393
Edward Rice...San Francisco.
176
00:12:58,702 --> 00:13:00,042
304.
177
00:13:03,234 --> 00:13:06,757
I'll throw the stuff in the room and
be right back. -If you say so.
178
00:13:29,744 --> 00:13:32,665
Hello? hello, this is Nina.
I want to talk to Vince.
179
00:13:32,725 --> 00:13:33,885
He's busy.
180
00:13:33,945 --> 00:13:36,203
Not too busy for what
I've got to tell him.
181
00:13:36,263 --> 00:13:37,479
<i>He's not here.</i>
182
00:13:37,539 --> 00:13:41,379
Look, let's not keep where he is a
secret it might upset your whole future.
183
00:13:41,439 --> 00:13:42,945
Put me through to him!
184
00:13:55,033 --> 00:13:56,719
You talk too much.
185
00:13:57,397 --> 00:13:59,189
Another treatment, Kelly?
186
00:14:00,453 --> 00:14:01,603
Any...
187
00:14:02,265 --> 00:14:04,750
Any second...breaks, Vince?
188
00:14:06,993 --> 00:14:09,176
I'm easy to do business with.
189
00:14:10,165 --> 00:14:11,520
If you talk...
190
00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:12,830
you live.
191
00:14:14,034 --> 00:14:16,865
All i want to hear is your
angle with Joe Williams.
192
00:14:19,271 --> 00:14:22,463
Give him a cigarette, Danny.
It'll relax him.
193
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:30,609
I'm...trusting you, Vince.
194
00:14:30,834 --> 00:14:32,792
Sure. Sure, Kelly.
195
00:14:33,474 --> 00:14:35,612
I told you we'd turn you loose.
196
00:14:35,672 --> 00:14:37,388
You understand how I...
197
00:14:37,569 --> 00:14:40,942
How a guy feels when he's been
kicked out of the organization?
198
00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:43,633
I know...
199
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:47,533
I shouldn't of been a sucker and
told Williams about the...
200
00:14:48,253 --> 00:14:50,828
...about the silver dollar.
-Forget that.
201
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,915
What did you tell him about this?
-Nothing!
202
00:14:56,455 --> 00:14:58,201
Nothing much, really.
203
00:14:59,044 --> 00:15:01,755
Vince!
-What did you tell him, Kelly?
204
00:15:01,815 --> 00:15:03,185
Really, Vince...
205
00:15:03,381 --> 00:15:04,931
Nothing important.
206
00:15:05,688 --> 00:15:06,757
Just...
207
00:15:07,178 --> 00:15:08,970
a little of this and...
208
00:15:09,527 --> 00:15:11,304
that about the...
209
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,532
about the slot machines and...
210
00:15:14,315 --> 00:15:16,333
and the take. But, I...
211
00:15:16,787 --> 00:15:18,564
I phonied the figures.
212
00:15:19,403 --> 00:15:22,550
Honest I did.
-These figures aren't phoney.
213
00:15:22,836 --> 00:15:24,447
Where'd you get 'em?
214
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,684
Snatched them out of your safe, Vince.
215
00:15:31,219 --> 00:15:33,192
Williams is waiting for 'em.
216
00:15:33,535 --> 00:15:37,359
He was going to bundle me out of town,
bring me back for the trial.
217
00:15:38,696 --> 00:15:42,083
But, I was gonna duck.
They never would of found me.
218
00:15:44,568 --> 00:15:46,480
That's the truth, Vince!
219
00:15:54,771 --> 00:15:56,021
Hello.
220
00:15:56,788 --> 00:15:58,264
Hello, Nina.
221
00:16:02,956 --> 00:16:05,242
You sure it's him?
-I was with him!
222
00:16:05,302 --> 00:16:08,524
First I saw him outside police
headquarters talking to Joe Williams,
223
00:16:08,584 --> 00:16:10,466
then I drove him to the Cortez.
224
00:16:10,689 --> 00:16:14,362
He cked in under the name
of Eddie Rice, room 304.
225
00:16:14,422 --> 00:16:15,552
Thanks.
226
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:37,164
You still want to take that trip, Kelly?
227
00:16:39,317 --> 00:16:41,560
You don't have to worry about me, Vince.
228
00:16:42,019 --> 00:16:43,028
Don.
229
00:16:44,194 --> 00:16:45,820
Big mouth Kelly.
230
00:16:46,257 --> 00:16:48,832
You think what he's got
may be contagious?
231
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:50,563
Very...catchy.
232
00:16:51,562 --> 00:16:54,648
What's your opinion, Don?
-Very, definitely.
233
00:16:56,621 --> 00:16:58,283
What can I do?
234
00:16:59,322 --> 00:17:01,686
The consultation's in agreement.
235
00:17:04,595 --> 00:17:05,769
Kelly!
236
00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:07,380
You're dead!
237
00:17:09,097 --> 00:17:10,527
Oh, and Kelly...
238
00:17:10,774 --> 00:17:14,749
When you get to where you're going,
have 'em give you a nice, even burn.
239
00:17:14,809 --> 00:17:17,579
Don't let them just fry you on one side.
240
00:18:01,054 --> 00:18:05,210
I'm sorry to bother you again, but..
has there been any sign of the girl yet?
241
00:18:07,876 --> 00:18:09,051
Thanks.
242
00:18:40,394 --> 00:18:42,743
Don't you believe in knocking on doors?
243
00:18:43,857 --> 00:18:45,814
Who are you? What do you want?
244
00:19:00,538 --> 00:19:02,661
So, that's where you've been hold up...
245
00:19:02,932 --> 00:19:04,498
Eddie Rice!
246
00:19:05,181 --> 00:19:08,990
No wonder I couldn't get a line on you.
Are you back sightseeing?
247
00:19:09,378 --> 00:19:10,854
Mr Rice?
248
00:19:13,052 --> 00:19:15,326
This supposed to be a free country?
249
00:19:15,684 --> 00:19:17,250
Free town?
250
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:18,951
Open to anyone?
251
00:19:19,011 --> 00:19:20,366
Not with me in it.
252
00:19:20,635 --> 00:19:23,240
You didn't waste much time
picking up with the cops.
253
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:27,395
Why should it worry you about
me talking to Williams?
254
00:19:27,455 --> 00:19:29,274
You've got me confused, Eddie.
255
00:19:29,771 --> 00:19:33,460
Only a sucker would walk back in
town after the deal you pulled.
256
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,979
Some things a fella has to...
257
00:19:37,401 --> 00:19:39,102
find out for himself.
258
00:19:40,096 --> 00:19:41,948
Not about you and me.
259
00:19:50,768 --> 00:19:53,283
I've been saving this for five years.
260
00:19:54,021 --> 00:19:57,378
Everyone in life has his bible,
this is mine.
261
00:19:58,978 --> 00:20:03,661
I take it out and read it every day. I read
it to remind me of a guy I grew up with.
262
00:20:03,917 --> 00:20:05,648
Got shoved around with.
263
00:20:06,277 --> 00:20:08,566
We used to take a lot of raps together.
264
00:20:09,439 --> 00:20:13,143
Some people would call a guy
like that a...a loyal friend.
265
00:20:13,968 --> 00:20:15,353
He was.
266
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:22,050
Until he turned into a dirty stool pigeon,
and let me take the rap for him!
267
00:20:38,866 --> 00:20:40,070
Eddie...
268
00:20:41,380 --> 00:20:42,811
Riccardi?
269
00:20:43,025 --> 00:20:47,105
My good friend who sold me out
to a cop named Joe Williams!
270
00:20:58,268 --> 00:21:00,541
Don't mess up his face too much.
271
00:21:03,876 --> 00:21:05,909
I ought to kill you, Eddie.
272
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:08,709
But, you're not worth taking
another rap for!
273
00:21:08,769 --> 00:21:11,058
In 24 hours...disappear!
274
00:21:11,935 --> 00:21:15,006
Otherwise, I might be tempted
to change my mind!
275
00:21:15,624 --> 00:21:17,205
Give him some air!
276
00:22:11,865 --> 00:22:14,153
<i>Why didn't the girl come back?</i>
277
00:22:15,523 --> 00:22:17,812
<i>What did she know about me?</i>
278
00:22:18,730 --> 00:22:20,808
<i>Why did she bring me here?</i>
279
00:22:21,847 --> 00:22:23,111
<i>Vince...</i>
280
00:22:24,060 --> 00:22:26,123
<i>Why didn't Vince kill me?</i>
281
00:22:27,402 --> 00:22:29,450
<i>Maybe I deserved it.</i>
282
00:22:30,625 --> 00:22:33,140
<i>Maybe Dr Kemble ought to know?</i>
283
00:22:34,224 --> 00:22:36,051
<i>I better tell him.</i>
284
00:22:37,226 --> 00:22:39,033
<i>I better call him.</i>
285
00:22:40,328 --> 00:22:41,908
<i>I better...</i>
286
00:22:44,659 --> 00:22:45,879
Hello.
287
00:22:46,391 --> 00:22:50,456
I want to put through a call, person
to person. Dr Kemble...
288
00:22:50,652 --> 00:22:53,392
Letterman Genral Hospital,
San Francisco.
289
00:22:54,435 --> 00:22:56,091
K-E-M-B-L-E
290
00:22:57,411 --> 00:22:58,736
Thank you.
291
00:23:14,170 --> 00:23:15,961
Hello, Dr Kemble?
292
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,812
When do you expect him back?
293
00:23:19,219 --> 00:23:20,920
Not till tomorrow?
294
00:23:22,121 --> 00:23:24,500
Never mind, I'll see him personally.
295
00:24:15,503 --> 00:24:18,780
Forget about Union Station.
Take me to 7 Braxton Avenue.
296
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:30,476
Wait for me.
297
00:24:51,762 --> 00:24:53,961
Thanks a lot Lou, for driving me home.
298
00:24:54,021 --> 00:24:57,393
Just a minute, darling.
I'll walk to the door with you.
299
00:24:58,990 --> 00:25:02,378
It's early, Nina. A little drink for
a nightcap won't hurt you.
300
00:25:02,589 --> 00:25:04,456
That's what you think.
301
00:25:04,516 --> 00:25:07,825
You could make me forget that
thousand I dropped tonight, Nina.
302
00:25:07,885 --> 00:25:11,182
I can forget a lot of things, Lou.
You, for instance.
303
00:25:11,242 --> 00:25:13,633
Good night.
-Just a minute, baby.
304
00:25:13,693 --> 00:25:16,328
I'd like a little receipt
for that grand.
305
00:25:19,246 --> 00:25:20,827
That's better.
306
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:25,539
That's your receipt. Good night.
307
00:25:45,117 --> 00:25:46,758
Now listen...
308
00:25:50,045 --> 00:25:51,461
Go ahead.
309
00:25:51,521 --> 00:25:53,237
Take a good look.
310
00:25:53,629 --> 00:25:58,055
If you came to tell me how Vince welcomed
you back, you've said it. So, goodbye!
311
00:25:58,673 --> 00:26:02,272
I want to know what you had
to do with me...in my life.
312
00:26:04,596 --> 00:26:06,057
And this.
313
00:26:10,473 --> 00:26:12,160
December the 24th,
314
00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:13,801
1943.
315
00:26:14,162 --> 00:26:16,120
Ah, that was a lovely Christmas.
316
00:26:16,903 --> 00:26:19,041
One I'll never forget.
317
00:26:24,136 --> 00:26:26,380
Only one of your presents!
318
00:26:29,297 --> 00:26:33,664
Sure, I told Vince Alexander
you're back. I work for him.
319
00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:39,946
This clipping...
320
00:26:40,955 --> 00:26:45,366
Why couldn't you testify at the trial?
-Oh, no routines, I've heard them all.
321
00:26:48,454 --> 00:26:51,436
Listen to me!
I'm just out of an army hospital
322
00:26:51,496 --> 00:26:54,507
with a piece of steel in my head
and no memory to go with it.
323
00:26:54,567 --> 00:26:57,756
I'm here to find out about myself and
I'm getting answers the hard way!
324
00:26:57,816 --> 00:27:00,677
I don't know you, Vince Alexander...
325
00:27:00,737 --> 00:27:05,055
or anybody called Eddie Riccardi!
All I know is one person, Eddie Rice! Me!
326
00:27:07,178 --> 00:27:09,391
You're the last person I can turn to.
327
00:27:10,472 --> 00:27:12,263
Please believe me.
328
00:27:12,850 --> 00:27:14,115
Help me.
329
00:27:16,584 --> 00:27:19,039
That's a very touching speech.
330
00:27:21,477 --> 00:27:23,901
You lost your memory.
331
00:27:24,564 --> 00:27:28,298
You don't know why I couldn't
testify at the trial.
332
00:27:28,529 --> 00:27:32,067
You've forgotten how you used me to
make sure Vince would go to prison
333
00:27:32,127 --> 00:27:33,829
so you'd be set free.
334
00:27:33,889 --> 00:27:37,966
But, if you're back to your old tricks
again I've got sad news for you,
335
00:27:38,026 --> 00:27:40,752
I tore up your raincheck
three years ago.
336
00:27:43,494 --> 00:27:45,587
I'm not your wife anymore.
337
00:28:05,380 --> 00:28:08,090
Now to the station?
-Back to the hotel.
338
00:28:47,065 --> 00:28:49,579
You act like a cop that just
lost a conviction?
339
00:28:49,639 --> 00:28:52,877
Maybe I have, take a look at these.
Fresh out of the photo lab.
340
00:28:54,339 --> 00:28:56,808
Sharks don't talk, the
fingerprints spell Kelly.
341
00:28:56,868 --> 00:28:59,413
The Coroner said he was dead two
hours before he hit the water.
342
00:28:59,473 --> 00:29:01,807
Too bad. With the information
Kelly had for us
343
00:29:01,867 --> 00:29:04,186
we could have put Vince
away for a long stretch.
344
00:29:05,335 --> 00:29:07,066
What's eating you, Joe?
345
00:29:07,563 --> 00:29:09,295
I was a smart cop.
346
00:29:09,355 --> 00:29:12,712
I put Petey away to get him off of
Kelly's tail, and this is what happens.
347
00:29:12,772 --> 00:29:14,594
I feel like I killed Kelly.
348
00:29:14,654 --> 00:29:16,897
Riccardi...think he's tied up in it?
349
00:29:16,957 --> 00:29:19,909
Walking back into town that day
could tie him up in anything.
350
00:29:20,237 --> 00:29:22,706
Is the case my baby?
-All yours.
351
00:29:24,916 --> 00:29:26,301
Now what?
352
00:29:26,361 --> 00:29:28,936
I figure we shouldn't keep
it a secret from Vince.
353
00:29:40,844 --> 00:29:43,087
Only six days in the week now, huh?
354
00:29:43,455 --> 00:29:46,557
How do you like that, the card
must have fell out.
355
00:29:46,617 --> 00:29:48,604
It was there yesterday. Nick...
356
00:29:48,664 --> 00:29:50,125
Who's Jane Doe?
357
00:29:50,185 --> 00:29:52,817
Please, Lieutenant. I don't look
at their birth certificate.
358
00:29:52,877 --> 00:29:55,075
Lots of people don't use
their right names.
359
00:29:55,135 --> 00:29:59,002
With me, a buck is a buck.
I don't ask questions.
360
00:29:59,318 --> 00:30:02,435
Before I'm through, Nick...
you'll be answering a few.
361
00:30:08,026 --> 00:30:12,377
It's gettin' so you can't tail a guy anymore
without having the cops jump on ya.
362
00:30:12,437 --> 00:30:14,666
This town's goin' to the dogs.
363
00:30:14,981 --> 00:30:18,143
Samson and me...
-Petey! Get that cat off the desk!
364
00:30:18,776 --> 00:30:22,133
I was just saying, Samson and
me could stand a vacation.
365
00:30:22,389 --> 00:30:25,340
You want us to blow town?
-That's just what I don't want.
366
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,047
Coke will set you up, and stay quiet!
367
00:30:28,107 --> 00:30:30,667
Well, sure Vince, sure.
Anything you say.
368
00:31:05,567 --> 00:31:06,922
Hello, Danny.
369
00:31:16,370 --> 00:31:18,327
Come in. Come in, Joe.
370
00:31:18,674 --> 00:31:22,543
Pull up a chair and rest your feet.
I hear you've had a busy day.
371
00:31:26,329 --> 00:31:29,099
I figured you would.
I was saving you for last.
372
00:31:30,183 --> 00:31:31,644
Should I...
373
00:31:31,930 --> 00:31:33,993
relax or call in my lawyer?
374
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:36,698
That depends on how nervous you are.
375
00:31:36,758 --> 00:31:39,529
I was always thought nervous
guys bit their nails?
376
00:31:39,589 --> 00:31:41,095
Now, let me see...
377
00:31:41,317 --> 00:31:44,675
Nick was a little bit hazy about
who Jane Doe was.
378
00:31:44,946 --> 00:31:47,144
I thought you might be able to tell me.
379
00:31:47,336 --> 00:31:49,113
Never heard of the girl.
380
00:31:49,173 --> 00:31:50,634
Then there's Petey.
381
00:31:50,694 --> 00:31:54,654
And how certain people got know where
and just when to bail him out.
382
00:31:54,714 --> 00:31:57,014
Now...nobody knows anything.
383
00:31:57,421 --> 00:31:58,912
But, we'll find him.
384
00:31:59,273 --> 00:32:01,863
We;ve got all exits out of town plugged.
385
00:32:03,697 --> 00:32:06,483
And I got a hunch he'll
be real cooperative.
386
00:32:06,769 --> 00:32:08,063
You see...
387
00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:10,698
I don't think he knows
anything about this.
388
00:32:11,090 --> 00:32:12,249
Kelly.
389
00:32:12,798 --> 00:32:15,162
He's gone and gotten himself killed.
390
00:32:15,915 --> 00:32:17,571
Just like Kelly...
391
00:32:17,842 --> 00:32:19,920
You never know what he'll do next.
392
00:32:20,191 --> 00:32:21,983
That goes for a lot of guys.
393
00:32:22,449 --> 00:32:23,910
Take you and...
394
00:32:24,482 --> 00:32:26,529
Then again, take Eddie Riccardi...
395
00:32:26,589 --> 00:32:29,962
You boys forgive and forget,
and back in business again.
396
00:32:31,037 --> 00:32:34,485
You and Riccardi got a lot in common,
why don't you ask him?
397
00:32:34,545 --> 00:32:36,352
At the moment, you're number one.
398
00:32:36,623 --> 00:32:40,281
And, it won't be any...manslaughter
charge and out in two years.
399
00:32:41,076 --> 00:32:43,048
I put you away this time...
400
00:32:43,334 --> 00:32:44,840
it'll be for keeps.
401
00:32:47,035 --> 00:32:50,031
You got all the answers figured
out, haven't you?
402
00:32:50,091 --> 00:32:52,636
I might have, sooner than you think.
403
00:32:53,959 --> 00:32:55,479
So sorry!
404
00:33:35,693 --> 00:33:39,292
Me, I never had a complaint.
You call my old boss.
405
00:33:39,352 --> 00:33:42,115
He'll tell you my bringing in 500
a night at the gambling tables
406
00:33:42,175 --> 00:33:44,344
was a small bag of tell.
407
00:33:45,169 --> 00:33:48,993
Oh, Mr Alexander! I just came in looking
for a job and I was telling Ms Martin...
408
00:33:49,053 --> 00:33:50,378
Get rid of her.
409
00:33:51,278 --> 00:33:55,238
Vince, we need some new talent...
-Okay! Okay! Come back at eight tonight.
410
00:33:55,298 --> 00:33:58,324
She'll tell you what to do.
-Oh, gee! Thanks!
411
00:34:01,806 --> 00:34:03,899
You know Eddie's still in town?
412
00:34:05,013 --> 00:34:06,172
Yes.
413
00:34:06,353 --> 00:34:08,024
Been around to see you?
414
00:34:09,667 --> 00:34:10,796
When?
415
00:34:11,534 --> 00:34:13,266
Late last night.
416
00:34:14,184 --> 00:34:16,548
Did he tell ya I gave him
24 hours to get out?
417
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,249
No.
418
00:34:19,872 --> 00:34:22,793
Well, I changed my mind.
I want him to stay.
419
00:34:23,049 --> 00:34:25,142
I want you to make sure he does stay.
420
00:34:26,876 --> 00:34:29,827
My job's to work the tables
for you here, Vince, and...
421
00:34:30,324 --> 00:34:34,961
I don't even mind setups like the one with
Petey or...other deals like that, but...
422
00:34:36,439 --> 00:34:37,613
Vince...
423
00:34:38,336 --> 00:34:40,534
Stay out of my personal life!
424
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:42,311
Listen you...
425
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,041
When Eddie dropped you, who picked
you up and gave you your health?
426
00:34:46,101 --> 00:34:49,053
Who gave you your job?
Everything you got?
427
00:34:49,459 --> 00:34:51,206
Vince Alexander!
428
00:34:52,806 --> 00:34:54,538
I won't do it, Vince.
429
00:34:54,598 --> 00:34:55,923
Forget Eddie.
430
00:34:55,983 --> 00:34:57,639
When I get through with him.
431
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,717
But, now you're gonna meet him.
432
00:35:00,715 --> 00:35:03,440
And, I want you to make sure
he does stay in town.
433
00:35:34,220 --> 00:35:35,566
What'll it be?
434
00:35:35,626 --> 00:35:37,854
Did five years make you
forget that easily?
435
00:35:37,914 --> 00:35:41,016
I told you...in five years you
can forget a lot of things.
436
00:35:41,076 --> 00:35:43,064
Something for the lady?
-Rob Roy, please.
437
00:35:43,124 --> 00:35:44,491
The same.
438
00:35:48,131 --> 00:35:50,932
What made you change your mind
about seeing me again?
439
00:35:54,897 --> 00:35:58,210
You know, finding out I was married
to you kind of threw me.
440
00:35:58,992 --> 00:36:02,169
It was even something the boys at
the hospital used to rib me about.
441
00:36:02,564 --> 00:36:05,605
They had me fixed up with a
wife and four or five kids.
442
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:09,881
They didn't know how close the
gag came to being true.
443
00:36:11,474 --> 00:36:13,672
You still don't believe me, do you?
444
00:36:21,056 --> 00:36:25,236
Maybe this'll convince you it was Eddie
Rice that rang your doorbell last night.
445
00:36:26,537 --> 00:36:29,909
Call Dr Kemble at Letterman's
Hospital in San Francisco.
446
00:36:31,007 --> 00:36:33,025
He'll tell you the whole story.
447
00:36:38,141 --> 00:36:39,767
Tha cigarette case...
448
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,323
Doesn't it mean anything to you?
449
00:36:47,468 --> 00:36:48,868
Should it?
450
00:36:54,926 --> 00:36:57,350
Suppose I did believe you, then what?
451
00:36:59,488 --> 00:37:03,569
Then, I'd try and make you forget that
Eddie Riccardi was ever in your life.
452
00:37:04,476 --> 00:37:06,403
You think you can do that?
453
00:37:07,216 --> 00:37:08,737
Eddie Rice can.
454
00:37:20,823 --> 00:37:22,570
Eddie, leave town.
455
00:37:24,533 --> 00:37:27,228
Now you're talking like Vince.
-Maybe I was yesterday.
456
00:37:27,288 --> 00:37:30,492
Don't ask me why, but go.
-Nina, I don't frighten easily.
457
00:37:30,552 --> 00:37:33,353
You can take that message back to Vince.
Tell him I'm staying!
458
00:37:33,413 --> 00:37:36,816
That's what he wants you to do. That's
why I'm here, to keep you from leaving.
459
00:37:36,876 --> 00:37:38,740
I'd hate to disappoint him then.
460
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,895
Eddie, don't be stubborn, I know Vince.
He doesn't do anything without a reason.
461
00:37:43,964 --> 00:37:45,530
Neither do I.
462
00:37:47,802 --> 00:37:52,590
Stay then! Get yourself beaten up again,
or killed. Do anything you want.
463
00:38:35,782 --> 00:38:38,267
Riccardi.
-Very interesting.
464
00:38:47,205 --> 00:38:48,936
Scotch over water.
465
00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:53,136
Lose something, Charlie?
466
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,406
Tell Nina Martin, Eddie wants to see her.
-Eddie who?
467
00:38:59,658 --> 00:39:01,103
Just Eddie.
468
00:39:01,630 --> 00:39:03,060
Wait here.
469
00:39:11,467 --> 00:39:12,943
What'll I need?
470
00:39:13,003 --> 00:39:15,653
A thousand might bring you luck.
-A thousand?
471
00:39:15,894 --> 00:39:17,475
Give me a thousand.
472
00:39:24,925 --> 00:39:27,891
A character called Eddie's outside,
wants to see you.
473
00:39:27,951 --> 00:39:29,412
Eddie here?
474
00:39:29,788 --> 00:39:31,204
Get rid of him!
475
00:39:31,425 --> 00:39:33,668
That's not what Vince had in mind.
476
00:39:43,422 --> 00:39:44,972
All right, come on.
477
00:39:53,097 --> 00:39:54,663
6...9...12!
478
00:39:54,919 --> 00:39:56,636
All bets down.
479
00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:04,549
It's a nice layout. Vince ought to be
able to pick up some fast money.
480
00:40:04,609 --> 00:40:07,063
You're crazy to come walking in here.
481
00:40:07,123 --> 00:40:09,273
Maybe I'm just hard to convince.
482
00:40:10,477 --> 00:40:12,374
My dressing room is back there.
483
00:40:13,925 --> 00:40:16,590
I'll be back before the
wheel stops turning.
484
00:40:34,853 --> 00:40:35,973
Yeah?
485
00:40:37,478 --> 00:40:38,939
Okay, thanks.
486
00:40:43,645 --> 00:40:45,813
So, she wanted to get rid of him.
487
00:40:47,179 --> 00:40:50,040
I wonder if that dame is trying
to pull a double cross.
488
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,129
Get down to the Golden Horn and pick up
Eddie Riccardi, you'll find him with Nina.
489
00:40:55,189 --> 00:40:56,270
Just him?
490
00:40:56,571 --> 00:40:57,746
Just him.
491
00:40:58,197 --> 00:41:00,110
I'll get around to her later.
492
00:41:03,747 --> 00:41:05,569
I started to leave...
493
00:41:05,794 --> 00:41:08,309
but I kept thinking about
everything you told me.
494
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,230
If I'd of left I'd been all the
things you said I was.
495
00:41:11,727 --> 00:41:13,232
So, I'm staying.
496
00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:17,505
And, I'm taking you out of here.
497
00:41:18,498 --> 00:41:19,673
Nina.
498
00:41:21,043 --> 00:41:23,436
We could have a decent life together.
499
00:41:26,553 --> 00:41:28,465
You got it all figured out.
500
00:41:31,452 --> 00:41:36,089
Well, you're not taking me anywhere.
You pushed me into this life and I like it.
501
00:41:36,481 --> 00:41:41,374
I'm top bait around here steering nice,
fat, pigeons to the gambling table.
502
00:41:41,434 --> 00:41:46,174
I'm one of Vince's kind now and I'm keeping
my life and my job just the way they are.
503
00:41:46,234 --> 00:41:48,026
No matter what I have to do!
504
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:49,934
Come on.
505
00:41:59,090 --> 00:42:00,144
Thanks.
506
00:42:10,804 --> 00:42:13,469
Now, how about some champagne?
507
00:42:14,389 --> 00:42:17,581
Excuse me for a minute, honey.
I forgot I got to call my wife.
508
00:42:32,729 --> 00:42:35,048
Williams, Homicide.
Yeah, Barnes.
509
00:42:36,509 --> 00:42:37,653
Yeah!
510
00:42:38,586 --> 00:42:39,881
Thanks a lot!
511
00:42:40,377 --> 00:42:41,898
What's exciting?
512
00:42:50,385 --> 00:42:54,646
I said, what's exciting? Or, don't
you want to wake me up?
513
00:42:55,138 --> 00:42:59,113
Barnes casing the Golden Horn for vice
intel, tells me Riccardi just walked in.
514
00:42:59,805 --> 00:43:01,266
Trouble maybe?
515
00:43:01,717 --> 00:43:04,924
I could think of plenty of reasons why
there might be for Eddie Rice.
516
00:43:05,478 --> 00:43:07,300
You'll hear from me later.
517
00:43:25,961 --> 00:43:28,189
How you coming with that
Kelly report, Ben?
518
00:43:28,249 --> 00:43:30,945
Just finishing up for you.
-Okay, I'll wait.
519
00:43:33,515 --> 00:43:36,586
Somebody must've believed in that
old gag about an apple a day.
520
00:43:36,646 --> 00:43:40,513
Yeah, but they didn't know it would pin
a murder on them. -Quite an appetite.
521
00:43:40,573 --> 00:43:43,253
Psychological, it creates
a false hunger.
522
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:50,156
Well, here you are, Joe.
I can go home now.
523
00:43:50,216 --> 00:43:53,454
Thanks a lot, Ben. See you tomorrow.
-Okay, see ya tomorrow.
524
00:44:06,875 --> 00:44:07,778
Yeah?
525
00:44:07,838 --> 00:44:10,970
I'm interested in Eddie Riccardi,
not in what's going on in there.
526
00:44:11,030 --> 00:44:13,680
We don't know from Riccardi.
-I do, open up.
527
00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:18,240
Place your bets, folks. Place your
bets. Bet high/low...odd or even.
528
00:44:38,711 --> 00:44:39,795
Yes?
529
00:44:39,990 --> 00:44:43,438
Miss Martin? Williams, Homicide.
May I come in please?
530
00:44:43,732 --> 00:44:44,982
Come in.
531
00:44:47,432 --> 00:44:50,820
Eddie was just picked up by Danny.
-Where'd he take him?
532
00:44:52,557 --> 00:44:54,424
You'll hear from me later.
533
00:45:14,826 --> 00:45:16,377
You know, Williams?
534
00:45:17,054 --> 00:45:19,524
I'm not used to cops with insomnia.
535
00:45:20,201 --> 00:45:22,791
What's on your mind?
-It won't take long.
536
00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:25,960
Danny picked up Eddie Riccardi.
Where are they?
537
00:45:27,537 --> 00:45:29,329
You're in an awful rut.
538
00:45:29,540 --> 00:45:31,497
Always asking questions.
539
00:45:31,557 --> 00:45:33,846
All right...let's start over.
540
00:45:34,581 --> 00:45:37,306
Eddie was at the Golden Horn
with Nina Martin.
541
00:45:37,366 --> 00:45:39,685
Suddenly, he wasn't there anymore.
542
00:45:40,208 --> 00:45:41,368
So...
543
00:45:41,578 --> 00:45:44,018
So...I don't mind waiting.
544
00:45:45,900 --> 00:45:48,053
While we kill a little time...
545
00:45:49,429 --> 00:45:51,176
This might interest you.
546
00:46:01,803 --> 00:46:05,733
And, after we pick up Riccardi...
we're going down to police headquarters.
547
00:46:06,034 --> 00:46:08,579
You're gonna have a manicure...on me.
548
00:46:10,294 --> 00:46:13,380
You know, you're gonna look awful
silly when I get through with you.
549
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,819
If I'm wrong...I'll apologize.
550
00:46:21,050 --> 00:46:23,264
Say hello, nothing more.
551
00:46:25,733 --> 00:46:26,862
Hello.
552
00:46:27,674 --> 00:46:31,408
Vince, we're at the shop. Do we
stay or bring Riccardi up there?
553
00:46:32,507 --> 00:46:34,238
Tell him you'll be down.
554
00:46:52,464 --> 00:46:53,699
Okay, Coke...
555
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,385
<i>Bring him up here.</i>
556
00:47:28,724 --> 00:47:30,530
What do you want now?
557
00:47:41,819 --> 00:47:44,605
Just when he was coming up
in the department.
558
00:49:14,591 --> 00:49:15,886
Car 9-4
559
00:49:15,946 --> 00:49:17,813
9-4 to Control-4.
560
00:49:17,873 --> 00:49:20,252
<i>Clear Frequency-4, this is an emergency.</i>
561
00:49:20,312 --> 00:49:23,126
Control-4 to 94, go ahead.
562
00:49:23,186 --> 00:49:25,099
<i>Car 94 to Control-4</i>
563
00:49:25,159 --> 00:49:29,209
<i>Notify the Homicide Bureau, we have found
the body of Lt Williams in his car.</i>
564
00:49:29,269 --> 00:49:31,133
At Sepulveda and Sunset.
565
00:50:17,423 --> 00:50:18,763
Give you a lift, son?
566
00:50:18,823 --> 00:50:21,485
Thanks, I had a little accident
back up a side road.
567
00:50:21,545 --> 00:50:24,556
I have to go to town, get a tow car.
-Anybody killed?
568
00:50:27,016 --> 00:50:29,561
No luck at all tonight.
Hop in.
569
00:50:39,349 --> 00:50:42,090
Bet you thought I wouldn't stop
to pick you up, didn't you?
570
00:50:42,150 --> 00:50:43,638
I didn't know.
571
00:50:43,698 --> 00:50:45,113
It's late.
-See...
572
00:50:45,173 --> 00:50:49,130
That's why I fooled you. Have me orders.
Pick up anybody, anytime.
573
00:50:49,747 --> 00:50:51,870
Green Acres Morticians policy.
574
00:50:52,094 --> 00:50:54,698
Live today...maybe a customer tomorrow.
575
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,400
Pays off too.
576
00:50:56,460 --> 00:50:59,848
Most people remember the nice things
you do for them while they're living.
577
00:50:59,908 --> 00:51:03,864
We sure don't get any complaints about our
service from them after they're dead.
578
00:51:03,924 --> 00:51:05,927
Their family, that is.
579
00:51:07,423 --> 00:51:09,441
That accident hurt you any?
580
00:51:10,992 --> 00:51:13,069
Got a match?
-Sure do.
581
00:51:19,645 --> 00:51:21,813
Police, ambulance and everything.
582
00:51:22,114 --> 00:51:24,312
I wonder if I'm losing any customers?
583
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:40,902
Finished with Joe's stuff yet?
-Still working on it.
584
00:51:43,326 --> 00:51:44,816
It's too bad...
585
00:51:45,434 --> 00:51:48,460
Joe's wife sure liked him
in that suit too.
586
00:52:13,311 --> 00:52:16,021
Any line on Riccardi yet?
-Nothing, Captain.
587
00:52:16,081 --> 00:52:19,710
Keep trying, he's the last one who
might of seen Joe. -Okay.
588
00:52:20,197 --> 00:52:21,718
Eddie Riccardi.
589
00:52:24,187 --> 00:52:26,445
Guess Williams was right after all.
590
00:52:26,701 --> 00:52:28,538
Riccardi or Rice.
591
00:52:28,826 --> 00:52:32,530
A Silver Star and a dumb look doesn't
change a no good heel.
592
00:52:33,147 --> 00:52:36,173
Attention all units!
Attention all units!
593
00:52:36,233 --> 00:52:40,175
Be on the lookout for the following
<i>described suspect, wanted for murder:</i>
594
00:52:40,551 --> 00:52:43,322
<i>Eddie Riccardi, alias Eddie Rice,</i>
595
00:52:43,589 --> 00:52:46,164
<i>White male, American,</i>
596
00:52:46,224 --> 00:52:49,341
<i>Age 33, 6 foot 2.</i>
597
00:52:49,729 --> 00:52:51,506
<i>190 lbs...</i>
598
00:52:51,957 --> 00:52:53,312
<i>Dark brown...</i>
599
00:52:53,659 --> 00:52:55,944
You phone the cops and do 'em a favor,
600
00:52:56,004 --> 00:53:00,024
where to find a dead cop and the guy
that did it, and what happens...
601
00:53:05,972 --> 00:53:08,035
The first stop is Nina Martin's.
602
00:53:08,276 --> 00:53:10,474
I want Eddie before the cops get him.
603
00:53:10,730 --> 00:53:12,913
Then they can have him for a present.
604
00:53:14,334 --> 00:53:15,915
And alive!
605
00:53:32,066 --> 00:53:33,843
Eddie!
-Shut up!
606
00:53:34,168 --> 00:53:36,065
Get those lights out!
607
00:53:37,285 --> 00:53:39,152
Eddie, what happened?
608
00:53:40,533 --> 00:53:43,951
You certainly did a neat job
of tying me into a murder.
609
00:53:44,011 --> 00:53:46,089
Joe Williams was killed tonight.
610
00:53:46,149 --> 00:53:47,901
You?
-I don't know.
611
00:53:47,961 --> 00:53:51,138
The last thing I remember was being slugged
over the head at Vince Alexander's.
612
00:53:51,198 --> 00:53:53,713
I know you think that...
-I haven't got time to think!
613
00:53:53,773 --> 00:53:57,811
All I want is a few bucks, your car and
you in my sight till I get out of here!
614
00:53:57,871 --> 00:53:59,874
Eddie, you've got to believe me!
615
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:01,335
Believe?
616
00:54:01,656 --> 00:54:03,508
Like you believed me?
617
00:54:03,885 --> 00:54:05,661
Give me the keys!
618
00:54:10,271 --> 00:54:14,017
Eddie! This is why I turned on you
tonight, to get you away from Vince.
619
00:54:14,077 --> 00:54:16,992
The keys are in the car, you go,
I'll try to stall them off.
620
00:54:17,224 --> 00:54:19,468
And get a bullet in the back of my head?
621
00:54:19,528 --> 00:54:22,404
Oh, Eddie! You've got to trust me,
it's your only chance.
622
00:54:24,815 --> 00:54:26,091
Quick!
623
00:54:26,444 --> 00:54:28,043
The garage.
624
00:55:25,770 --> 00:55:29,188
This is where you get out. -Go to the
police, Eddie. Before it's too late.
625
00:55:29,248 --> 00:55:32,400
With my fingerprints all over the
gun and all over Williams car?
626
00:55:32,460 --> 00:55:35,257
I wouldn't last long enough to walk
to the nearest police station.
627
00:55:35,317 --> 00:55:38,133
If I did what could I tell them?
Now out!
628
00:55:38,788 --> 00:55:41,737
You want me to go home and wait
for Vince to come back again?
629
00:55:41,797 --> 00:55:45,800
That's something Eddie Riccardo would
tell me to do, not Eddie Rice.
630
00:55:49,139 --> 00:55:50,606
All right.
631
00:56:06,538 --> 00:56:07,668
Stop.
632
00:56:11,312 --> 00:56:13,997
Keep your lights off and
the motor running.
633
00:56:57,233 --> 00:56:59,889
Well, now you've got a gun! What next?
634
00:57:01,213 --> 00:57:04,044
I didn't ask for any killings,
so I'm in the middle.
635
00:57:04,528 --> 00:57:07,711
But, I'm not going to be a clay
pigeon for Vince Alexander.
636
00:57:08,308 --> 00:57:10,513
You can't prove anything dead.
637
00:57:10,573 --> 00:57:14,597
That would make Vince very happy,
something I wouldn't want to let happen.
638
00:57:15,047 --> 00:57:18,758
Is there any place we could go, someone
you can trust to put us up for the night?
639
00:57:18,818 --> 00:57:20,299
I need time.
640
00:57:21,747 --> 00:57:23,404
Maybe there is.
641
00:57:23,464 --> 00:57:25,443
It's a long chance, but...
642
00:57:28,917 --> 00:57:31,763
You don't think you're going to
get away with this, do you?
643
00:57:32,276 --> 00:57:34,477
We're staying here till tomorrow.
644
00:57:42,766 --> 00:57:46,004
Stay away from that phone!
If it rings, let it keep ringing!
645
00:57:46,064 --> 00:57:48,953
Get rid of anybody who comes to
the door, I'll be right behind you
646
00:57:49,013 --> 00:57:50,845
in case you give the wrong answers.
647
00:57:55,517 --> 00:57:58,539
What about the girl's place?
-There and gone.
648
00:57:58,599 --> 00:58:02,705
Get a teletype out on her car immediately,
have it re-broadcast every half hour.
649
00:58:08,211 --> 00:58:10,661
I want roadblocks at all these points.
650
00:58:10,721 --> 00:58:12,705
I want the airport, the railroad station,
651
00:58:12,765 --> 00:58:15,536
all the bus terminals put
under a 24 surveillance.
652
00:58:15,596 --> 00:58:18,001
I want every hotel and
flophouse notified.
653
00:58:18,061 --> 00:58:20,818
They're in this town somewhere
and they're not getting out.
654
00:58:21,019 --> 00:58:22,354
One other thing...
655
00:58:22,414 --> 00:58:26,887
We picked up Riccardi's fingerprints on
that gun shop. He's got a gun now.
656
00:58:27,294 --> 00:58:29,421
Don't give him a chance to use it!
657
00:58:29,481 --> 00:58:31,284
All right, start moving.
658
00:58:31,344 --> 00:58:33,908
<i>The police tightened its dragnet
about the city today.</i>
659
00:58:33,968 --> 00:58:36,988
<i>Riccardi escaped just as the police
were ready to close in on him</i>
660
00:58:37,048 --> 00:58:39,197
<i>after they received an
anonymous phone call</i>
661
00:58:39,257 --> 00:58:42,292
<i>which led them to discover the murdered
body of one of their men today.</i>
662
00:58:42,352 --> 00:58:44,067
<i>Every available man...</i>
663
00:58:47,714 --> 00:58:49,958
We'll wait till it's dark
and get out of here.
664
00:58:50,018 --> 00:58:52,423
You couldn't arrange to
drop dead before then?
665
00:58:52,483 --> 00:58:55,606
Hazel, you've got to believe us.
Eddie didn't do it!
666
00:58:55,897 --> 00:58:57,936
He should still drop dead.
667
00:58:58,269 --> 00:58:59,604
Twice.
668
01:00:12,318 --> 01:00:13,477
Coke!
669
01:00:36,274 --> 01:00:38,401
Get me a couple of clean towels.
670
01:00:42,231 --> 01:00:43,771
It's pretty bad.
671
01:00:44,739 --> 01:00:49,052
I'll have you out of here in a minute,
we'll find a doctor. -Go to the police.
672
01:00:49,497 --> 01:00:51,448
Eddie, go to the police.
673
01:00:53,848 --> 01:00:55,961
Your car in the garage?
-Yes.
674
01:00:56,021 --> 01:00:58,704
Where are your keys?
-In my purse.
675
01:00:58,764 --> 01:01:00,288
Take care of her.
676
01:01:22,875 --> 01:01:23,843
Thanks.
677
01:01:23,903 --> 01:01:26,748
I'll have the doctor come right
in the moment he returns.
678
01:01:38,651 --> 01:01:40,602
Light me a cigarette.
679
01:02:02,498 --> 01:02:04,288
You're far away.
680
01:02:06,205 --> 01:02:07,614
How far?
681
01:02:09,418 --> 01:02:10,885
Five years.
682
01:02:11,545 --> 01:02:13,041
A lifetime.
683
01:02:14,259 --> 01:02:15,961
Beyond that, a blank.
684
01:02:17,162 --> 01:02:18,879
Me too, Eddie.
685
01:02:18,939 --> 01:02:21,270
Only, it's been a different
kind of a blank.
686
01:02:21,798 --> 01:02:24,453
It's being pushed back
to Eddie Riccardi.
687
01:02:24,937 --> 01:02:26,184
This.
688
01:02:26,811 --> 01:02:30,215
The whole past that keeps me
from being like other people.
689
01:02:30,992 --> 01:02:32,763
Now all that's left is
690
01:02:32,823 --> 01:02:36,460
wondering what it would be like if there
had only been an Eddie Rice.
691
01:02:38,540 --> 01:02:41,287
If I'd of just met you
for the first time.
692
01:02:43,087 --> 01:02:45,508
Eddie Rice can have that.
693
01:02:48,248 --> 01:02:50,610
Oh, you're...good, Eddie.
694
01:02:51,681 --> 01:02:53,368
You're good.
695
01:02:54,934 --> 01:02:57,622
You've taken away the hate in me.
696
01:02:58,176 --> 01:02:59,995
Destroyed it.
697
01:03:01,946 --> 01:03:03,912
You're...good, Eddie.
698
01:03:07,874 --> 01:03:10,573
When a baby wants to be born,
hours don't matter!
699
01:03:10,633 --> 01:03:12,554
7 poundsd 7ounces...a boy.
700
01:03:12,614 --> 01:03:14,549
Doctor, her shoulder...
701
01:03:29,779 --> 01:03:31,760
I can't treat gun wounds.
702
01:03:31,820 --> 01:03:34,679
She'll have to go to the police
emergency hospital.
703
01:03:34,739 --> 01:03:36,179
I don't think so.
704
01:03:36,239 --> 01:03:39,260
I'm sorry, but I've got to report
this to the police.
705
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:40,624
Doctor.
706
01:03:41,138 --> 01:03:43,191
That report to the police...
707
01:03:43,539 --> 01:03:44,918
It'll wait.
708
01:03:45,123 --> 01:03:47,368
If you want to pull that
trigger, go ahead.
709
01:03:49,535 --> 01:03:51,603
Police headquarters, please.
710
01:03:53,055 --> 01:03:56,092
Put that gun away! I said I was
going to call the police.
711
01:03:56,293 --> 01:03:57,775
Police headquarters?
712
01:03:57,980 --> 01:04:00,914
This is Dr Stacey, 93 Chestnut Street.
713
01:04:01,174 --> 01:04:03,492
Send an ambulance and a squad car.
714
01:04:09,003 --> 01:04:10,602
How bad is it?
715
01:04:14,534 --> 01:04:16,118
She'll be all right.
716
01:04:18,447 --> 01:04:20,262
You'd better leave.
717
01:04:27,035 --> 01:04:30,805
Eddie, I'm scared...I'm scared...
-Take it easy, you'll be all right.
718
01:04:30,865 --> 01:04:33,341
Not for me, for you.
-Listen...
719
01:04:33,531 --> 01:04:37,507
I'm leaving you for a little while.
I've got an idea, it might work.
720
01:04:37,567 --> 01:04:39,672
Something very important.
721
01:04:40,214 --> 01:04:44,395
You knew all about me. The people
I used to know, the places I went.
722
01:04:44,699 --> 01:04:46,855
Think for me, go back five years.
723
01:04:46,915 --> 01:04:51,110
Who was there? Just one person.
Give me the answers, quick!
724
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,289
What you say is my only chance,
the only chance I've got.
725
01:04:54,349 --> 01:04:58,231
The only one left is...Petey.
He can't be trusted with Vince.
726
01:04:58,291 --> 01:05:01,337
Where will I find him?
-Not him, he's... -Tell me!
727
01:05:01,759 --> 01:05:04,457
Two, three places on Main Street.
728
01:05:05,198 --> 01:05:07,034
Fourth and Main...
729
01:05:07,094 --> 01:05:10,091
And after Nina ran in front of him,
Coke never had a chance.
730
01:05:10,151 --> 01:05:11,748
That Eddie sure didn't miss.
731
01:05:11,808 --> 01:05:14,345
Coke took three, went right through
his breakfast, lunch and supper.
732
01:05:14,405 --> 01:05:16,575
Anybody come around, ask any questions?
733
01:05:16,635 --> 01:05:19,900
None I couldn't answer, Vince.
-Get back down and keep him company.
734
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,570
But...but, the police?
-That's exactly what I want!
735
01:05:22,630 --> 01:05:25,559
Tell him how Riccardi broke into your
apartment, found Coke there
736
01:05:25,619 --> 01:05:28,727
pulled his gun and fired. Now do
what I told you, just that!
737
01:05:29,035 --> 01:05:31,250
All right, Vince.
-Take her back!
738
01:05:35,048 --> 01:05:37,293
Eddie's got to find a doctor somewhere.
739
01:05:37,484 --> 01:05:39,581
And, if he does what I think, he'll...
740
01:05:39,772 --> 01:05:42,295
dump the girl...and start looking
for a hidewaway.
741
01:05:43,785 --> 01:05:44,973
Get going!
742
01:05:45,033 --> 01:05:48,039
Spread the news I got a personal
interest in Eddie Riccardi.
743
01:05:48,099 --> 01:05:50,870
I don't want anything to happen
to him...until I get there.
744
01:05:51,389 --> 01:05:53,443
Unless the cops get him first.
745
01:05:54,467 --> 01:05:57,841
You through with him, Doc?
-Yup. He was a fine specimen.
746
01:05:57,901 --> 01:06:00,041
Would have had a long life
if this hadn't happened.
747
01:06:00,101 --> 01:06:02,051
I'll send you my report in the morning.
748
01:06:05,694 --> 01:06:08,335
I'm sure you don't mind coming
downtown, Miss Downs?
749
01:06:08,395 --> 01:06:10,477
Well, I...
-I thought not.
750
01:06:12,659 --> 01:06:14,859
What'd you find?
-It was them all right.
751
01:06:14,919 --> 01:06:17,471
Riccardi left the doctor's office
about 30 minutes ago
752
01:06:17,531 --> 01:06:20,830
Notify Communications? -They're blanketing
the whole area. -The girl?
753
01:06:20,890 --> 01:06:25,608
County Jail Hospital. Still out, whether
she's playing it safe or just not talking.
754
01:06:25,668 --> 01:06:29,085
Keep Melon there, the minute she comes
out, I want to know. -Any ideas?
755
01:06:29,145 --> 01:06:31,970
Lots! We need Riccardi to
explain some of them.
756
01:06:32,157 --> 01:06:34,196
If he lives that long.
757
01:06:38,347 --> 01:06:41,120
Hello. I'm looking for Petey,
have you seen him?
758
01:06:42,691 --> 01:06:44,671
Do you know where to find him?
759
01:06:57,552 --> 01:07:00,780
<i>Nina said three or four places,
I must have hit twenty.</i>
760
01:07:01,245 --> 01:07:03,196
<i>And every answer the same.</i>
761
01:07:03,710 --> 01:07:04,810
<i>No.</i>
762
01:07:05,803 --> 01:07:08,605
<i>The shake of their head,
a frightened face.</i>
763
01:07:10,111 --> 01:07:14,043
<i>They knew where I could find what I was
looking for, but they wouldn't talk.</i>
764
01:07:14,483 --> 01:07:16,141
<i>They were scared.</i>
765
01:08:08,257 --> 01:08:11,660
But, Vince! Appreciate the fact
that at least I called you.
766
01:08:11,961 --> 01:08:14,015
I let him stay, it's another rap.
767
01:08:14,075 --> 01:08:17,623
Another rap, I get life! You've
got to appreciate that!
768
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,296
And I'd appreciate it if you'd
tell me where to find Petey.
769
01:08:24,044 --> 01:08:25,306
Right now!
770
01:08:25,366 --> 01:08:26,758
Sure, Eddie.
771
01:08:27,096 --> 01:08:28,152
Sure.
772
01:08:34,841 --> 01:08:36,822
Ocean Boulevard and 25th.
773
01:09:43,996 --> 01:09:46,490
Who's there? Who is it?
-Eddie.
774
01:09:47,355 --> 01:09:48,910
Eddie Riccardi.
775
01:09:49,277 --> 01:09:52,886
Oh, Eddie boy. Every cop in the
city is out gunning for you!
776
01:09:53,350 --> 01:09:55,403
Maybe you don't care if you live...
777
01:09:55,711 --> 01:09:57,604
I got a few more years left!
778
01:09:57,839 --> 01:09:59,526
Open the door, Petey.
779
01:10:00,083 --> 01:10:01,799
You're dead if you don't.
780
01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:04,769
All right, Eddie.
781
01:10:12,804 --> 01:10:15,914
You didn't think I'd leave you out
there in the cold, did you Eddie?
782
01:10:16,545 --> 01:10:20,550
Five years, no see! But, you sure got
a hot fire burning under you, huh?
783
01:10:21,019 --> 01:10:22,105
Yeah.
784
01:10:24,891 --> 01:10:26,900
You need a pal, a friend.
785
01:10:30,025 --> 01:10:32,240
Sure, I need a friend, Petey.
786
01:10:32,483 --> 01:10:36,263
Look, old friend... Will you...will
you put that mouthpiece away?
787
01:10:36,323 --> 01:10:39,153
Somehow I...I still believe they go off!
788
01:10:39,926 --> 01:10:42,669
And, Samson my cat, you remember my cat?
789
01:10:44,180 --> 01:10:46,439
He's not feeling too good again.
790
01:10:46,949 --> 01:10:49,545
You stay careful and
nothing will happen.
791
01:10:49,605 --> 01:10:53,110
Oh sure. Sure, Eddie. You're
talking to Petey, remember?
792
01:10:53,340 --> 01:10:55,746
Any objections to my moving in with you?
793
01:10:56,025 --> 01:10:58,416
I'll be gone, tomorrow or the next day.
794
01:10:58,476 --> 01:11:01,771
Oh, me? Turn away practically,
my own flesh and blood?
795
01:11:03,341 --> 01:11:04,822
Relax, Eddie.
796
01:11:08,491 --> 01:11:11,308
There you are, Eddie. Nothing's
too good for you.
797
01:11:12,355 --> 01:11:16,154
How about some food, Petey?
I haven't eaten all night.
798
01:11:16,536 --> 01:11:18,370
You haven't changed a bit.
799
01:11:18,590 --> 01:11:20,086
Always hungry!
800
01:11:20,146 --> 01:11:22,022
Still tied up with Vince?
801
01:11:24,002 --> 01:11:27,670
I do a little private eyeing on the side.
A job here, a job there.
802
01:11:28,007 --> 01:11:29,284
Nothing big.
803
01:11:31,150 --> 01:11:32,705
I'll telephone.
804
01:11:43,749 --> 01:11:47,358
Hello, friend? Petey! I got
a special customer.
805
01:11:47,828 --> 01:11:49,852
Yeah. Yeah, an old one.
806
01:11:50,881 --> 01:11:54,094
How about sending something over?
He's tired and hungry.
807
01:11:54,813 --> 01:11:56,778
A pot of coffee and a sandwich.
808
01:11:56,969 --> 01:11:58,011
Turkey.
809
01:11:58,266 --> 01:11:59,352
Tongue
810
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:01,684
Egg salad combination.
811
01:12:02,638 --> 01:12:04,442
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
812
01:12:05,543 --> 01:12:06,863
You got it.
813
01:12:12,752 --> 01:12:16,068
You see, Eddie? Everything's
just like old times.
814
01:12:16,655 --> 01:12:18,474
If you say so, Petey.
815
01:12:20,114 --> 01:12:21,948
I'm gettin' kinda sleepy.
816
01:12:22,271 --> 01:12:25,308
You just make yourself at home,
food will be along pretty soon.
817
01:12:25,368 --> 01:12:28,183
Vince has gotten to be a big
man the last five years.
818
01:12:28,675 --> 01:12:31,168
I'm really gettin' pretty tired, friend.
819
01:12:31,228 --> 01:12:33,457
Why don't you bring me
up to date, Petey?
820
01:12:33,517 --> 01:12:35,247
I'm really awful tired, friend!
821
01:12:35,307 --> 01:12:37,501
How long will it take Vince to get here?
822
01:12:37,971 --> 01:12:40,861
Eddie...Eddie, you...you embarrass me.
823
01:12:41,135 --> 01:12:43,834
I'll kill you if you don't give
it to me straight, Petey!
824
01:12:43,894 --> 01:12:47,047
Eddie...Eddie, don't talk like that.
Samson's sick!
825
01:12:47,543 --> 01:12:50,403
I'm telling you, Eddie!
-What are you telling me? How long?
826
01:12:50,463 --> 01:12:53,557
Five minutes? Ten? Fifteen minutes?
Twenty minutes?
827
01:12:54,096 --> 01:12:57,015
About...about fifteen minutes, Eddie.
828
01:12:57,323 --> 01:13:00,902
Vince puts you on the spot!
He's that way with all the boys!
829
01:13:01,162 --> 01:13:04,781
Blow Eddie! Take me with you.
You and me was always friends!
830
01:13:04,841 --> 01:13:08,273
You just stay in front of me and keep your
mouth shut and you won't get into trouble.
831
01:13:08,333 --> 01:13:11,265
Sure, Eddie! You got nothing
to worry about from me.
832
01:13:11,325 --> 01:13:14,361
Just stay my friend, Petey.
-Yeah, Eddie.
833
01:13:27,837 --> 01:13:29,935
You're retired, you can go home now.
834
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:32,601
Your friend want a ride?
-Not tonight.
835
01:13:34,995 --> 01:13:36,151
$2.80
836
01:13:36,711 --> 01:13:39,616
This will get you a thousand.
Come on, Petey.
837
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,005
Take care of Petey.
838
01:15:45,187 --> 01:15:46,434
Eddie!
839
01:15:46,625 --> 01:15:48,165
Let's get out of here!
840
01:15:49,661 --> 01:15:51,158
Go ahead, Petey.
841
01:15:51,610 --> 01:15:52,974
Thanks, Eddie.
842
01:15:54,148 --> 01:15:55,615
They're coming!
843
01:18:02,988 --> 01:18:04,191
Eddie.
844
01:18:04,792 --> 01:18:06,274
Can you hear me?
845
01:18:09,079 --> 01:18:10,898
We can make a break.
846
01:18:11,558 --> 01:18:13,319
Cover for each other.
847
01:18:14,096 --> 01:18:15,739
I got a place.
848
01:18:17,148 --> 01:18:18,820
You and me, Eddie.
849
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,342
We'll start up again.
850
01:18:22,914 --> 01:18:25,056
Just like old times.
851
01:18:30,072 --> 01:18:31,671
I got money, Eddie.
852
01:18:32,992 --> 01:18:34,327
Big money!
853
01:18:37,521 --> 01:18:39,355
Samson! Samson!
854
01:18:39,986 --> 01:18:41,159
Samson!
855
01:18:43,096 --> 01:18:44,841
Petey! Come back!
856
01:18:46,807 --> 01:18:47,908
Samson.
857
01:18:48,318 --> 01:18:50,446
Samson, baby. Samson.
858
01:19:47,773 --> 01:19:50,091
Riccardi! Alexander!
859
01:19:50,292 --> 01:19:53,813
We'll give you three minutes to come out.
We're gonna start counting.
860
01:19:54,135 --> 01:19:57,920
At the end of three minutes if you're
not out, we're coming to get you!
861
01:19:58,429 --> 01:20:00,600
This is your last chance, Eddie.
862
01:20:01,862 --> 01:20:04,121
There's just you and me left now.
863
01:20:04,181 --> 01:20:05,676
No deal, Vince.
864
01:20:06,455 --> 01:20:08,538
I know you killed Joe Williams.
865
01:20:08,978 --> 01:20:10,357
Okay...
866
01:20:11,516 --> 01:20:13,071
No deals.
867
01:21:51,795 --> 01:21:54,993
We want you, Riccardi..
Alive, Alexander!
868
01:21:55,595 --> 01:21:58,646
If you're in there and not wounded,
bring Riccardi out.
869
01:21:59,653 --> 01:22:03,761
You, Riccardi! If you're alone, come
out with your hands in the air!
870
01:22:06,712 --> 01:22:09,176
Here's when you and I part company.
871
01:22:09,396 --> 01:22:12,081
You're gonna get paid off in full.
872
01:22:41,345 --> 01:22:43,574
Thanks for bringing him out, Vince.
873
01:22:43,853 --> 01:22:47,169
Now, drop your gun.
I said drop your gun, Vince!
874
01:22:49,233 --> 01:22:51,932
Eddie will take what I
got first, Anderson!
875
01:22:54,015 --> 01:22:56,568
All police officers hold your fire!
876
01:22:57,552 --> 01:22:59,532
Don't be crazy, Alexander.
877
01:22:59,899 --> 01:23:02,774
There have been enough people killed.
Give yourself up.
878
01:23:02,834 --> 01:23:04,491
No bargains, Anderson!
879
01:23:04,551 --> 01:23:06,487
You want Riccardi alive...
880
01:23:06,547 --> 01:23:07,866
I want out!
881
01:23:07,926 --> 01:23:10,682
What guarantee have I got that
you won't kill Riccardi?
882
01:23:10,742 --> 01:23:13,250
You don't!
-Be sensible, Alexander.
883
01:23:13,979 --> 01:23:16,854
If we let you out now,
we'll get you later.
884
01:23:17,089 --> 01:23:19,040
You'll be dead before morning.
885
01:23:19,245 --> 01:23:21,930
You got 30 seconds to make
up your mind, Anderson!
886
01:23:22,688 --> 01:23:24,053
I go...
887
01:23:24,361 --> 01:23:26,415
or Riccardi gets it in the back!
888
01:23:29,595 --> 01:23:31,388
Sat down, Eddie! Don't move!
889
01:24:05,464 --> 01:24:06,711
Is he dead?
890
01:24:06,771 --> 01:24:09,234
He will be if we don't get
him to a hospital.
891
01:24:15,716 --> 01:24:19,090
That taxi driver must have really
gotten to you in a hurry.
892
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,980
He did, asking for a $1000 reward.
893
01:24:22,337 --> 01:24:26,826
And all the questions you want to ask...
I called Dr Kemble from San Francisco.
894
01:24:27,149 --> 01:24:31,242
We knew Vince killed Jow Williams,
we found his blood on Joe's clothing.
895
01:24:31,604 --> 01:24:34,435
It matched up with our
lab files, yours didn't.
896
01:24:34,740 --> 01:24:37,351
And, Hazel told us the truth about Coke.
897
01:24:37,747 --> 01:24:41,254
Now, just get well. We'll finish
our business later.
898
01:24:42,217 --> 01:24:43,391
Nina...
899
01:24:43,451 --> 01:24:45,782
She's fine...in the waiting room.
900
01:25:05,063 --> 01:25:08,173
You shouldn't kiss a guy like
that when he's sick in bed.
901
01:25:10,205 --> 01:25:14,254
Well, I've been waiting outside all the
time. They wouldn't tell me anything.
902
01:25:14,314 --> 01:25:15,970
I was afraid...
903
01:25:17,151 --> 01:25:18,647
It's all right.
904
01:25:19,674 --> 01:25:21,170
We'll go away.
905
01:25:21,230 --> 01:25:24,222
We'll find that...crazy world of yours.
906
01:25:25,698 --> 01:25:27,151
Sure.
907
01:25:30,408 --> 01:25:32,373
There's only one thing...
908
01:25:33,675 --> 01:25:35,494
You'll always be...
909
01:25:35,758 --> 01:25:37,298
Eddie Rice.
910
01:25:38,853 --> 01:25:40,540
For the rest of my life.
911
01:25:40,990 --> 01:25:43,059
I have the doc's word for him.
912
01:25:44,673 --> 01:25:46,110
Come here.
|
After sustaining a head wound in combat, decorated World War II veteran Eddie Rice (John Payne) is treated at a San Francisco military hospital for a permanent form of amnesia. This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.
Rice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely.

This is the Letterman General Hosiptal

For those outside these gates the
war is over, a thing of the past.

00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888
For those behind these gates there's a
grim, hard, bitter fight still going on.

00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518
Take one case, the case
of Eddie Rice, age 33.

00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206
Enlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.
Holder of the Silver Star, but today...

A name and date number, a medical file.
For five years a chart on a hospital bed.
7
00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340
A victim of amnesia.
A mind with a blocked out past.

Where were you born, Eddie?
Who are your parents?

00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912
Any brothers? Sisters?

00:01:54,277 --> 00:01:58,775
Where did you go to school?
What's your trade? Profession?
11
00:01:59,433 --> 00:02:01,748
Are you rich?
Poor?
12
00:02:02,051 --> 00:02:03,689
Got a girl?
13
00:02:03,915 --> 00:02:05,289
Married?
14
00:02:05,349 --> 00:02:06,869
I don't know.
15
00:02:07,378 --> 00:02:09,015
I don't know!
16
00:02:09,824 --> 00:02:11,537
I can't remember.
17
00:02:12,444 --> 00:02:14,571
I just can't remember, doctor.
18
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:30,922
You had me open. What did you quit for?
-We did the best we could, Eddie.
19
00:02:31,218 --> 00:02:33,439
It'll just have to stay there.
20
00:02:34,606 --> 00:02:38,483
Is that final?
-Unless you want your name on a headstone.
21
00:02:38,543 --> 00:02:43,592
That shrapnel's too deep in your brain.
Scar tissue has grown all around it.
22
00:02:43,652 --> 00:02:46,980
Believe me, we tried.
-Yeah, I guess you did.
23
00:02:48,391 --> 00:02:52,551
Where do I go from here?
-Eddie, there are two kinds of amnesia:
24
00:02:52,611 --> 00:02:54,895
psychological and organic.
25
00:02:55,178 --> 00:03:00,240
The psychological form is temporary, but
it can be cured through psychotherapy.
26
00:03:01,016 --> 00:03:03,876
Yours is organic, it's permanent.
27
00:03:04,347 --> 00:03:07,772
That piece of steel in your brain
has blocked out your memory.
28
00:03:07,832 --> 00:03:10,863
Which doesn't leave me much
of a future, does it?
29
00:03:10,923 --> 00:03:15,071
Of course it does, physically
you're normal and healthy.
30
00:03:15,131 --> 00:03:17,771
You've received the maximum
medical benefits
31
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:22,559
You've completed training courses that make
you fit to hold down a job and face life.
32
00:03:23,499 --> 00:03:26,540
With no address, no next
of kin, nothing.
33
00:03:27,489 --> 00:03:29,567
Enlisted from Los Angeles...
34
00:03:29,627 --> 00:03:32,397
Intelligence ran that down
for us, remember?
35
00:03:32,867 --> 00:03:35,818
Oh sure, there were a lot of
people named Rice there...
36
00:03:36,026 --> 00:03:37,682
but not this Eddie Rice.
37
00:03:37,742 --> 00:03:41,777
But, Army Intelligence didn't mow
Los Angeles lawns as a kid, Eddie.
38
00:03:41,837 --> 00:03:44,292
They didn't trade at the corner market.
39
00:03:44,352 --> 00:03:48,775
They didn't work with people in a factory,
in an office, as you might have done.
40
00:03:48,986 --> 00:03:50,136
Now...
41
00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:54,081
If you went down there...and ran
into somebody who knew you,
42
00:03:54,141 --> 00:03:55,918
just one person...
43
00:03:56,384 --> 00:03:57,694
Yes...
44
00:03:58,992 --> 00:04:01,702
If I ran into just one person
who knew me.
45
00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:03,689
One guy...
46
00:04:04,785 --> 00:04:07,149
Who would come up to me and say:
47
00:04:07,616 --> 00:04:08,775
"Eddie."
48
00:04:08,986 --> 00:04:10,491
"Eddie Rice."
49
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:12,253
"How have you been?"
50
00:04:12,581 --> 00:04:14,132
"Where have you been?"
51
00:04:14,192 --> 00:04:15,577
That's it, Eddie.
52
00:04:15,637 --> 00:04:18,766
And then, they'd tell me about
someone else I used to know.
53
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:21,626
And, I'd meet somebody else.
54
00:04:22,635 --> 00:04:24,141
And another...
55
00:04:25,342 --> 00:04:26,908
And another...
56
00:04:57,774 --> 00:05:00,996
<i>Sure, it scares you to go out into
a world you don't remember...</i>
57
00:05:01,484 --> 00:05:02,959
<i>but you're here now.</i>
58
00:05:03,742 --> 00:05:05,473
<i>It'll be a new life.</i>
59
00:05:05,805 --> 00:05:07,295
<i>A new start.</i>
60
00:05:08,231 --> 00:05:10,189
<i>Find yourself a place to live.</i>
61
00:05:10,957 --> 00:05:12,613
<i>Get yourself a job.</i>
62
00:05:13,290 --> 00:05:14,540
<i>Get going.</i>
63
00:05:15,353 --> 00:05:16,919
<i>Get going, Eddie!</i>
64
00:05:19,198 --> 00:05:20,357
Eddie!
65
00:05:20,417 --> 00:05:22,736
You know, it's a small world, Eddie.
66
00:05:22,796 --> 00:05:25,266
We came down here to pick
up a little of one thing,
67
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:28,650
and we ran into a little of another!
-A lot of us thought you were dead.
68
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:32,851
Yes, and...those that didn't hoped you
were. What are you doing in town?
69
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,642
I'm just in from San Francisco.
70
00:05:36,702 --> 00:05:40,060
I didn't ask you that.
-He asked you what you were doing in town.
71
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,354
I cam here to look up some...people.
72
00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:45,989
Funny, I...I had a feeling that was it.
73
00:05:46,049 --> 00:05:48,443
Anderson one of them?
-Anderson?
74
00:05:49,719 --> 00:05:50,698
Maybe.
75
00:05:50,758 --> 00:05:54,251
I think you're lying, Eddie. I don't think you
were gonna look up Anderson at all.
76
00:05:54,311 --> 00:05:57,458
Barrett, do you think he was gonna
look up Anderson? -No, Joe.
77
00:05:57,699 --> 00:06:00,108
Not Anderson.
-I'll tell you what...
78
00:06:00,168 --> 00:06:02,737
I got a car and nothing
to do for a while...
79
00:06:02,797 --> 00:06:05,478
Let's go see Anderson together.
Any objections?
80
00:06:07,616 --> 00:06:09,016
No objections.
81
00:06:09,076 --> 00:06:11,256
Stick around, Kelly may still show.
82
00:06:11,452 --> 00:06:12,506
Let's go.
83
00:06:35,122 --> 00:06:37,667
'Honorable discharge of Edward Rice.'
84
00:06:41,972 --> 00:06:43,568
What's the gimmick?
85
00:06:44,110 --> 00:06:46,399
If you'd put away your blackjacks
long enough
86
00:06:46,459 --> 00:06:48,431
maybe I could get it through
your heads that...
87
00:06:48,491 --> 00:06:50,714
I don't know what you're talking about.
88
00:06:50,774 --> 00:06:52,912
You got yourself a sense
of humor, Eddie.
89
00:06:52,972 --> 00:06:56,010
You think you come back here with
a dumb look and a Silver Star...
90
00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:58,958
That changes a no good heel?
-But, I'm trying to tell you that...
91
00:06:59,018 --> 00:07:01,382
You don't have to tell us
anything about yourself.
92
00:07:01,442 --> 00:07:03,881
We got it all down in black and white.
93
00:07:06,019 --> 00:07:07,630
Read it, Riccardi.
94
00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:09,313
We didn't dream it up.
95
00:07:09,795 --> 00:07:12,355
Possession of a weapon
with intent to kill.
96
00:07:12,882 --> 00:07:14,553
Suspicion of murder.
97
00:07:17,184 --> 00:07:18,566
<i>Riccardi...</i>
98
00:07:19,274 --> 00:07:20,960
<i>Eddie Riccardi.</i>
99
00:07:21,638 --> 00:07:25,236
<i>That's not me, it can't be.
It only looks like me!</i>
100
00:07:26,348 --> 00:07:29,103
<i>I better get out of here!
I've got to get out!</i>
101
00:07:29,163 --> 00:07:33,093
Five years ago we hustled you out of town,
for good. Now what are you here for?
102
00:07:34,253 --> 00:07:35,939
<i>You've got to play ball.</i>
103
00:07:35,999 --> 00:07:39,153
<i>You need time. You need more
time to find out about yourself.</i>
104
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,894
Riccardi's just playing dumb, Captain.
105
00:07:42,556 --> 00:07:44,122
Put him in the lockup.
106
00:07:44,498 --> 00:07:47,085
I'm finding about these...
discharge papers.
107
00:07:47,145 --> 00:07:49,358
If they're phonies, we'll pin a
real one on him.
108
00:07:49,418 --> 00:07:50,999
Just a minute, Lieutenant.
109
00:07:52,426 --> 00:07:56,627
I guess, maybe I didn't want the army
to know about Eddie...Riccardi.
110
00:07:57,317 --> 00:08:00,133
The only friends I have
know me as Eddie Rice.
111
00:08:00,916 --> 00:08:02,813
I'd like to keep it that way.
112
00:08:03,219 --> 00:08:05,945
That's probably the first honest
thing you've ever said.
113
00:08:06,005 --> 00:08:07,537
Pick up your things.
114
00:08:10,967 --> 00:08:14,008
Be Eddie Rice in some other
town, but not here.
115
00:08:14,068 --> 00:08:18,540
Now, we can't hold you, but...you step
out of line once and we step on you.
116
00:08:26,034 --> 00:08:28,278
Notice anything different
about him, Williams?
117
00:08:28,338 --> 00:08:31,138
Nothing! If Riccardi stays in town
there's gonna be trouble.
118
00:08:31,198 --> 00:08:34,210
I don't know. He had a strange
look about him.
119
00:08:34,667 --> 00:08:37,934
Send to Washington for a complete
report on Edward Rice.
120
00:08:37,994 --> 00:08:40,870
That Silver Star, you really
do something to get one.
121
00:08:40,930 --> 00:08:43,686
Yeah, buy it in a pawn
shop for two bits.
122
00:09:01,270 --> 00:09:04,944
Nina, my sweet!
My beautiful, lovely...
123
00:09:05,004 --> 00:09:07,609
All right, Nick! Let's keep
it all business.
124
00:09:10,063 --> 00:09:13,240
Who is it this time?
-Petey. Suspicion of robbery.
125
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:16,251
Get him out before they start
shifting him around. -Petey?
126
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:17,588
Him?
127
00:09:17,648 --> 00:09:19,726
He wouldn't steal his own shadow.
128
00:09:19,786 --> 00:09:22,056
That was William's gag to get
him out of the way.
129
00:09:22,116 --> 00:09:25,670
I wouldn't know. Bail's $1000.
-Inflation!
130
00:09:25,730 --> 00:09:27,823
That's the whole trouble these days.
131
00:09:28,847 --> 00:09:30,714
Alexander, he unhappy?
132
00:09:31,252 --> 00:09:34,188
Nick. Keep your mind on your business.
133
00:09:34,248 --> 00:09:36,233
Let Vince worry about his, huh?
134
00:09:36,293 --> 00:09:39,259
Sure, beautiful Sure.
Forget I mentioned it.
135
00:09:53,907 --> 00:09:55,970
Take my advice, you leave town.
136
00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:57,837
I've got things to do.
137
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,125
Adios, boy! You're on your own.
138
00:10:04,466 --> 00:10:05,941
Kelly never showed.
139
00:10:06,001 --> 00:10:07,071
Odd.
140
00:10:07,131 --> 00:10:08,606
We'll hear from him.
141
00:10:18,132 --> 00:10:20,074
One of the usual fronts?
142
00:10:21,098 --> 00:10:24,064
You have a lot of Jane Does, Nick.
Use one of them.
143
00:10:26,732 --> 00:10:28,328
Of course, there's a big difference
144
00:10:28,388 --> 00:10:30,617
between the Florida oranges
and the California oranges.
145
00:10:30,677 --> 00:10:33,131
At least that's what the Chamber
of Commerce in Florida says.
146
00:10:33,191 --> 00:10:35,661
And the Chamber of Commerce
in California says...
147
00:10:35,872 --> 00:10:37,874
Orange juice, please.
-Yes, ma'am.
148
00:10:41,153 --> 00:10:42,388
Eddie.
149
00:10:44,691 --> 00:10:47,281
I thought it was you from
across the street.
150
00:10:48,856 --> 00:10:49,940
Hello.
151
00:10:51,204 --> 00:10:53,794
Is that the only thing
you've got to say?
152
00:10:54,110 --> 00:10:56,640
Well, there's a lot more
I could say, but...
153
00:10:57,107 --> 00:10:58,311
but you...
154
00:10:59,299 --> 00:11:00,609
Let's see...
155
00:11:01,814 --> 00:11:03,425
Nacy Morgan?
156
00:11:03,711 --> 00:11:05,051
Nora Murphy?
157
00:11:05,292 --> 00:11:09,176
No, you don't look like Nora Murphy.
-What'd you come back for, Eddie?
158
00:11:10,216 --> 00:11:12,610
A man has a right to come
home, hasn't he?
159
00:11:14,552 --> 00:11:17,699
My car is across the street,
I'll take you there.
160
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:18,994
Sure!
161
00:11:19,175 --> 00:11:20,228
Thanks.
162
00:11:45,318 --> 00:11:47,089
Vince know you're back?
163
00:11:47,149 --> 00:11:48,360
Vince?
164
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,025
Should he?
165
00:11:51,762 --> 00:11:53,419
You oughta know.
166
00:12:02,797 --> 00:12:04,499
Thanks for the lift.
167
00:12:07,503 --> 00:12:08,828
Coming in?
168
00:12:09,264 --> 00:12:11,447
Who said this was the end of the road?
169
00:12:12,833 --> 00:12:15,091
Who's complaining? Not me.
170
00:12:40,205 --> 00:12:41,530
Checking in?
171
00:12:41,771 --> 00:12:42,870
Long?
172
00:12:44,466 --> 00:12:45,896
I don't know yet.
173
00:12:46,739 --> 00:12:48,019
Alone?
174
00:12:48,648 --> 00:12:49,672
Yes.
175
00:12:52,517 --> 00:12:55,393
Edward Rice...San Francisco.
176
00:12:58,702 --> 00:13:00,042
304.
177
00:13:03,234 --> 00:13:06,757
I'll throw the stuff in the room and
be right back. -If you say so.
178
00:13:29,744 --> 00:13:32,665
Hello? hello, this is Nina.
I want to talk to Vince.
179
00:13:32,725 --> 00:13:33,885
He's busy.
180
00:13:33,945 --> 00:13:36,203
Not too busy for what
I've got to tell him.
181
00:13:36,263 --> 00:13:37,479
<i>He's not here.</i>
182
00:13:37,539 --> 00:13:41,379
Look, let's not keep where he is a
secret it might upset your whole future.
183
00:13:41,439 --> 00:13:42,945
Put me through to him!
184
00:13:55,033 --> 00:13:56,719
You talk too much.
185
00:13:57,397 --> 00:13:59,189
Another treatment, Kelly?
186
00:14:00,453 --> 00:14:01,603
Any...
187
00:14:02,265 --> 00:14:04,750
Any second...breaks, Vince?
188
00:14:06,993 --> 00:14:09,176
I'm easy to do business with.
189
00:14:10,165 --> 00:14:11,520
If you talk...
190
00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:12,830
you live.
191
00:14:14,034 --> 00:14:16,865
All i want to hear is your
angle with Joe Williams.
192
00:14:19,271 --> 00:14:22,463
Give him a cigarette, Danny.
It'll relax him.
193
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:30,609
I'm...trusting you, Vince.
194
00:14:30,834 --> 00:14:32,792
Sure. Sure, Kelly.
195
00:14:33,474 --> 00:14:35,612
I told you we'd turn you loose.
196
00:14:35,672 --> 00:14:37,388
You understand how I...
197
00:14:37,569 --> 00:14:40,942
How a guy feels when he's been
kicked out of the organization?
198
00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:43,633
I know...
199
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:47,533
I shouldn't of been a sucker and
told Williams about the...
200
00:14:48,253 --> 00:14:50,828
...about the silver dollar.
-Forget that.
201
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,915
What did you tell him about this?
-Nothing!
202
00:14:56,455 --> 00:14:58,201
Nothing much, really.
203
00:14:59,044 --> 00:15:01,755
Vince!
-What did you tell him, Kelly?
204
00:15:01,815 --> 00:15:03,185
Really, Vince...
205
00:15:03,381 --> 00:15:04,931
Nothing important.
206
00:15:05,688 --> 00:15:06,757
Just...
207
00:15:07,178 --> 00:15:08,970
a little of this and...
208
00:15:09,527 --> 00:15:11,304
that about the...
209
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,532
about the slot machines and...
210
00:15:14,315 --> 00:15:16,333
and the take. But, I...
211
00:15:16,787 --> 00:15:18,564
I phonied the figures.
212
00:15:19,403 --> 00:15:22,550
Honest I did.
-These figures aren't phoney.
213
00:15:22,836 --> 00:15:24,447
Where'd you get 'em?
214
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,684
Snatched them out of your safe, Vince.
215
00:15:31,219 --> 00:15:33,192
Williams is waiting for 'em.
216
00:15:33,535 --> 00:15:37,359
He was going to bundle me out of town,
bring me back for the trial.
217
00:15:38,696 --> 00:15:42,083
But, I was gonna duck.
They never would of found me.
218
00:15:44,568 --> 00:15:46,480
That's the truth, Vince!
219
00:15:54,771 --> 00:15:56,021
Hello.
220
00:15:56,788 --> 00:15:58,264
Hello, Nina.
221
00:16:02,956 --> 00:16:05,242
You sure it's him?
-I was with him!
222
00:16:05,302 --> 00:16:08,524
First I saw him outside police
headquarters talking to Joe Williams,
223
00:16:08,584 --> 00:16:10,466
then I drove him to the Cortez.
224
00:16:10,689 --> 00:16:14,362
He cked in under the name
of Eddie Rice, room 304.
225
00:16:14,422 --> 00:16:15,552
Thanks.
226
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:37,164
You still want to take that trip, Kelly?
227
00:16:39,317 --> 00:16:41,560
You don't have to worry about me, Vince.
228
00:16:42,019 --> 00:16:43,028
Don.
229
00:16:44,194 --> 00:16:45,820
Big mouth Kelly.
230
00:16:46,257 --> 00:16:48,832
You think what he's got
may be contagious?
231
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:50,563
Very...catchy.
232
00:16:51,562 --> 00:16:54,648
What's your opinion, Don?
-Very, definitely.
233
00:16:56,621 --> 00:16:58,283
What can I do?
234
00:16:59,322 --> 00:17:01,686
The consultation's in agreement.
235
00:17:04,595 --> 00:17:05,769
Kelly!
236
00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:07,380
You're dead!
237
00:17:09,097 --> 00:17:10,527
Oh, and Kelly...
238
00:17:10,774 --> 00:17:14,749
When you get to where you're going,
have 'em give you a nice, even burn.
239
00:17:14,809 --> 00:17:17,579
Don't let them just fry you on one side.
240
00:18:01,054 --> 00:18:05,210
I'm sorry to bother you again, but..
has there been any sign of the girl yet?
241
00:18:07,876 --> 00:18:09,051
Thanks.
242
00:18:40,394 --> 00:18:42,743
Don't you believe in knocking on doors?
243
00:18:43,857 --> 00:18:45,814
Who are you? What do you want?
244
00:19:00,538 --> 00:19:02,661
So, that's where you've been hold up...
245
00:19:02,932 --> 00:19:04,498
Eddie Rice!
246
00:19:05,181 --> 00:19:08,990
No wonder I couldn't get a line on you.
Are you back sightseeing?
247
00:19:09,378 --> 00:19:10,854
Mr Rice?
248
00:19:13,052 --> 00:19:15,326
This supposed to be a free country?
249
00:19:15,684 --> 00:19:17,250
Free town?
250
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:18,951
Open to anyone?
251
00:19:19,011 --> 00:19:20,366
Not with me in it.
252
00:19:20,635 --> 00:19:23,240
You didn't waste much time
picking up with the cops.
253
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:27,395
Why should it worry you about
me talking to Williams?
254
00:19:27,455 --> 00:19:29,274
You've got me confused, Eddie.
255
00:19:29,771 --> 00:19:33,460
Only a sucker would walk back in
town after the deal you pulled.
256
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,979
Some things a fella has to...
257
00:19:37,401 --> 00:19:39,102
find out for himself.
258
00:19:40,096 --> 00:19:41,948
Not about you and me.
259
00:19:50,768 --> 00:19:53,283
I've been saving this for five years.
260
00:19:54,021 --> 00:19:57,378
Everyone in life has his bible,
this is mine.
261
00:19:58,978 --> 00:20:03,661
I take it out and read it every day. I read
it to remind me of a guy I grew up with.
262
00:20:03,917 --> 00:20:05,648
Got shoved around with.
263
00:20:06,277 --> 00:20:08,566
We used to take a lot of raps together.
264
00:20:09,439 --> 00:20:13,143
Some people would call a guy
like that a...a loyal friend.
265
00:20:13,968 --> 00:20:15,353
He was.
266
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:22,050
Until he turned into a dirty stool pigeon,
and let me take the rap for him!
267
00:20:38,866 --> 00:20:40,070
Eddie...
268
00:20:41,380 --> 00:20:42,811
Riccardi?
269
00:20:43,025 --> 00:20:47,105
My good friend who sold me out
to a cop named Joe Williams!
270
00:20:58,268 --> 00:21:00,541
Don't mess up his face too much.
271
00:21:03,876 --> 00:21:05,909
I ought to kill you, Eddie.
272
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:08,709
But, you're not worth taking
another rap for!
273
00:21:08,769 --> 00:21:11,058
In 24 hours...disappear!
274
00:21:11,935 --> 00:21:15,006
Otherwise, I might be tempted
to change my mind!
275
00:21:15,624 --> 00:21:17,205
Give him some air!
276
00:22:11,865 --> 00:22:14,153
<i>Why didn't the girl come back?</i>
277
00:22:15,523 --> 00:22:17,812
<i>What did she know about me?</i>
278
00:22:18,730 --> 00:22:20,808
<i>Why did she bring me here?</i>
279
00:22:21,847 --> 00:22:23,111
<i>Vince...</i>
280
00:22:24,060 --> 00:22:26,123
<i>Why didn't Vince kill me?</i>
281
00:22:27,402 --> 00:22:29,450
<i>Maybe I deserved it.</i>
282
00:22:30,625 --> 00:22:33,140
<i>Maybe Dr Kemble ought to know?</i>
283
00:22:34,224 --> 00:22:36,051
<i>I better tell him.</i>
284
00:22:37,226 --> 00:22:39,033
<i>I better call him.</i>
285
00:22:40,328 --> 00:22:41,908
<i>I better...</i>
286
00:22:44,659 --> 00:22:45,879
Hello.
287
00:22:46,391 --> 00:22:50,456
I want to put through a call, person
to person. Dr Kemble...
288
00:22:50,652 --> 00:22:53,392
Letterman Genral Hospital,
San Francisco.
289
00:22:54,435 --> 00:22:56,091
K-E-M-B-L-E
290
00:22:57,411 --> 00:22:58,736
Thank you.
291
00:23:14,170 --> 00:23:15,961
Hello, Dr Kemble?
292
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,812
When do you expect him back?
293
00:23:19,219 --> 00:23:20,920
Not till tomorrow?
294
00:23:22,121 --> 00:23:24,500
Never mind, I'll see him personally.
295
00:24:15,503 --> 00:24:18,780
Forget about Union Station.
Take me to 7 Braxton Avenue.
296
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:30,476
Wait for me.
297
00:24:51,762 --> 00:24:53,961
Thanks a lot Lou, for driving me home.
298
00:24:54,021 --> 00:24:57,393
Just a minute, darling.
I'll walk to the door with you.
299
00:24:58,990 --> 00:25:02,378
It's early, Nina. A little drink for
a nightcap won't hurt you.
300
00:25:02,589 --> 00:25:04,456
That's what you think.
301
00:25:04,516 --> 00:25:07,825
You could make me forget that
thousand I dropped tonight, Nina.
302
00:25:07,885 --> 00:25:11,182
I can forget a lot of things, Lou.
You, for instance.
303
00:25:11,242 --> 00:25:13,633
Good night.
-Just a minute, baby.
304
00:25:13,693 --> 00:25:16,328
I'd like a little receipt
for that grand.
305
00:25:19,246 --> 00:25:20,827
That's better.
306
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:25,539
That's your receipt. Good night.
307
00:25:45,117 --> 00:25:46,758
Now listen...
308
00:25:50,045 --> 00:25:51,461
Go ahead.
309
00:25:51,521 --> 00:25:53,237
Take a good look.
310
00:25:53,629 --> 00:25:58,055
If you came to tell me how Vince welcomed
you back, you've said it. So, goodbye!
311
00:25:58,673 --> 00:26:02,272
I want to know what you had
to do with me...in my life.
312
00:26:04,596 --> 00:26:06,057
And this.
313
00:26:10,473 --> 00:26:12,160
December the 24th,
314
00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:13,801
1943.
315
00:26:14,162 --> 00:26:16,120
Ah, that was a lovely Christmas.
316
00:26:16,903 --> 00:26:19,041
One I'll never forget.
317
00:26:24,136 --> 00:26:26,380
Only one of your presents!
318
00:26:29,297 --> 00:26:33,664
Sure, I told Vince Alexander
you're back. I work for him.
319
00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:39,946
This clipping...
320
00:26:40,955 --> 00:26:45,366
Why couldn't you testify at the trial?
-Oh, no routines, I've heard them all.
321
00:26:48,454 --> 00:26:51,436
Listen to me!
I'm just out of an army hospital
322
00:26:51,496 --> 00:26:54,507
with a piece of steel in my head
and no memory to go with it.
323
00:26:54,567 --> 00:26:57,756
I'm here to find out about myself and
I'm getting answers the hard way!
324
00:26:57,816 --> 00:27:00,677
I don't know you, Vince Alexander...
325
00:27:00,737 --> 00:27:05,055
or anybody called Eddie Riccardi!
All I know is one person, Eddie Rice! Me!
326
00:27:07,178 --> 00:27:09,391
You're the last person I can turn to.
327
00:27:10,472 --> 00:27:12,263
Please believe me.
328
00:27:12,850 --> 00:27:14,115
Help me.
329
00:27:16,584 --> 00:27:19,039
That's a very touching speech.
330
00:27:21,477 --> 00:27:23,901
You lost your memory.
331
00:27:24,564 --> 00:27:28,298
You don't know why I couldn't
testify at the trial.
332
00:27:28,529 --> 00:27:32,067
You've forgotten how you used me to
make sure Vince would go to prison
333
00:27:32,127 --> 00:27:33,829
so you'd be set free.
334
00:27:33,889 --> 00:27:37,966
But, if you're back to your old tricks
again I've got sad news for you,
335
00:27:38,026 --> 00:27:40,752
I tore up your raincheck
three years ago.
336
00:27:43,494 --> 00:27:45,587
I'm not your wife anymore.
337
00:28:05,380 --> 00:28:08,090
Now to the station?
-Back to the hotel.
338
00:28:47,065 --> 00:28:49,579
You act like a cop that just
lost a conviction?
339
00:28:49,639 --> 00:28:52,877
Maybe I have, take a look at these.
Fresh out of the photo lab.
340
00:28:54,339 --> 00:28:56,808
Sharks don't talk, the
fingerprints spell Kelly.
341
00:28:56,868 --> 00:28:59,413
The Coroner said he was dead two
hours before he hit the water.
342
00:28:59,473 --> 00:29:01,807
Too bad. With the information
Kelly had for us
343
00:29:01,867 --> 00:29:04,186
we could have put Vince
away for a long stretch.
344
00:29:05,335 --> 00:29:07,066
What's eating you, Joe?
345
00:29:07,563 --> 00:29:09,295
I was a smart cop.
346
00:29:09,355 --> 00:29:12,712
I put Petey away to get him off of
Kelly's tail, and this is what happens.
347
00:29:12,772 --> 00:29:14,594
I feel like I killed Kelly.
348
00:29:14,654 --> 00:29:16,897
Riccardi...think he's tied up in it?
349
00:29:16,957 --> 00:29:19,909
Walking back into town that day
could tie him up in anything.
350
00:29:20,237 --> 00:29:22,706
Is the case my baby?
-All yours.
351
00:29:24,916 --> 00:29:26,301
Now what?
352
00:29:26,361 --> 00:29:28,936
I figure we shouldn't keep
it a secret from Vince.
353
00:29:40,844 --> 00:29:43,087
Only six days in the week now, huh?
354
00:29:43,455 --> 00:29:46,557
How do you like that, the card
must have fell out.
355
00:29:46,617 --> 00:29:48,604
It was there yesterday. Nick...
356
00:29:48,664 --> 00:29:50,125
Who's Jane Doe?
357
00:29:50,185 --> 00:29:52,817
Please, Lieutenant. I don't look
at their birth certificate.
358
00:29:52,877 --> 00:29:55,075
Lots of people don't use
their right names.
359
00:29:55,135 --> 00:29:59,002
With me, a buck is a buck.
I don't ask questions.
360
00:29:59,318 --> 00:30:02,435
Before I'm through, Nick...
you'll be answering a few.
361
00:30:08,026 --> 00:30:12,377
It's gettin' so you can't tail a guy anymore
without having the cops jump on ya.
362
00:30:12,437 --> 00:30:14,666
This town's goin' to the dogs.
363
00:30:14,981 --> 00:30:18,143
Samson and me...
-Petey! Get that cat off the desk!
364
00:30:18,776 --> 00:30:22,133
I was just saying, Samson and
me could stand a vacation.
365
00:30:22,389 --> 00:30:25,340
You want us to blow town?
-That's just what I don't want.
366
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,047
Coke will set you up, and stay quiet!
367
00:30:28,107 --> 00:30:30,667
Well, sure Vince, sure.
Anything you say.
368
00:31:05,567 --> 00:31:06,922
Hello, Danny.
369
00:31:16,370 --> 00:31:18,327
Come in. Come in, Joe.
370
00:31:18,674 --> 00:31:22,543
Pull up a chair and rest your feet.
I hear you've had a busy day.
371
00:31:26,329 --> 00:31:29,099
I figured you would.
I was saving you for last.
372
00:31:30,183 --> 00:31:31,644
Should I...
373
00:31:31,930 --> 00:31:33,993
relax or call in my lawyer?
374
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:36,698
That depends on how nervous you are.
375
00:31:36,758 --> 00:31:39,529
I was always thought nervous
guys bit their nails?
376
00:31:39,589 --> 00:31:41,095
Now, let me see...
377
00:31:41,317 --> 00:31:44,675
Nick was a little bit hazy about
who Jane Doe was.
378
00:31:44,946 --> 00:31:47,144
I thought you might be able to tell me.
379
00:31:47,336 --> 00:31:49,113
Never heard of the girl.
380
00:31:49,173 --> 00:31:50,634
Then there's Petey.
381
00:31:50,694 --> 00:31:54,654
And how certain people got know where
and just when to bail him out.
382
00:31:54,714 --> 00:31:57,014
Now...nobody knows anything.
383
00:31:57,421 --> 00:31:58,912
But, we'll find him.
384
00:31:59,273 --> 00:32:01,863
We;ve got all exits out of town plugged.
385
00:32:03,697 --> 00:32:06,483
And I got a hunch he'll
be real cooperative.
386
00:32:06,769 --> 00:32:08,063
You see...
387
00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:10,698
I don't think he knows
anything about this.
388
00:32:11,090 --> 00:32:12,249
Kelly.
389
00:32:12,798 --> 00:32:15,162
He's gone and gotten himself killed.
390
00:32:15,915 --> 00:32:17,571
Just like Kelly...
391
00:32:17,842 --> 00:32:19,920
You never know what he'll do next.
392
00:32:20,191 --> 00:32:21,983
That goes for a lot of guys.
393
00:32:22,449 --> 00:32:23,910
Take you and...
394
00:32:24,482 --> 00:32:26,529
Then again, take Eddie Riccardi...
395
00:32:26,589 --> 00:32:29,962
You boys forgive and forget,
and back in business again.
396
00:32:31,037 --> 00:32:34,485
You and Riccardi got a lot in common,
why don't you ask him?
397
00:32:34,545 --> 00:32:36,352
At the moment, you're number one.
398
00:32:36,623 --> 00:32:40,281
And, it won't be any...manslaughter
charge and out in two years.
399
00:32:41,076 --> 00:32:43,048
I put you away this time...
400
00:32:43,334 --> 00:32:44,840
it'll be for keeps.
401
00:32:47,035 --> 00:32:50,031
You got all the answers figured
out, haven't you?
402
00:32:50,091 --> 00:32:52,636
I might have, sooner than you think.
403
00:32:53,959 --> 00:32:55,479
So sorry!
404
00:33:35,693 --> 00:33:39,292
Me, I never had a complaint.
You call my old boss.
405
00:33:39,352 --> 00:33:42,115
He'll tell you my bringing in 500
a night at the gambling tables
406
00:33:42,175 --> 00:33:44,344
was a small bag of tell.
407
00:33:45,169 --> 00:33:48,993
Oh, Mr Alexander! I just came in looking
for a job and I was telling Ms Martin...
408
00:33:49,053 --> 00:33:50,378
Get rid of her.
409
00:33:51,278 --> 00:33:55,238
Vince, we need some new talent...
-Okay! Okay! Come back at eight tonight.
410
00:33:55,298 --> 00:33:58,324
She'll tell you what to do.
-Oh, gee! Thanks!
411
00:34:01,806 --> 00:34:03,899
You know Eddie's still in town?
412
00:34:05,013 --> 00:34:06,172
Yes.
413
00:34:06,353 --> 00:34:08,024
Been around to see you?
414
00:34:09,667 --> 00:34:10,796
When?
415
00:34:11,534 --> 00:34:13,266
Late last night.
416
00:34:14,184 --> 00:34:16,548
Did he tell ya I gave him
24 hours to get out?
417
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,249
No.
418
00:34:19,872 --> 00:34:22,793
Well, I changed my mind.
I want him to stay.
419
00:34:23,049 --> 00:34:25,142
I want you to make sure he does stay.
420
00:34:26,876 --> 00:34:29,827
My job's to work the tables
for you here, Vince, and...
421
00:34:30,324 --> 00:34:34,961
I don't even mind setups like the one with
Petey or...other deals like that, but...
422
00:34:36,439 --> 00:34:37,613
Vince...
423
00:34:38,336 --> 00:34:40,534
Stay out of my personal life!
424
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:42,311
Listen you...
425
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,041
When Eddie dropped you, who picked
you up and gave you your health?
426
00:34:46,101 --> 00:34:49,053
Who gave you your job?
Everything you got?
427
00:34:49,459 --> 00:34:51,206
Vince Alexander!
428
00:34:52,806 --> 00:34:54,538
I won't do it, Vince.
429
00:34:54,598 --> 00:34:55,923
Forget Eddie.
430
00:34:55,983 --> 00:34:57,639
When I get through with him.
431
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,717
But, now you're gonna meet him.
432
00:35:00,715 --> 00:35:03,440
And, I want you to make sure
he does stay in town.
433
00:35:34,220 --> 00:35:35,566
What'll it be?
434
00:35:35,626 --> 00:35:37,854
Did five years make you
forget that easily?
435
00:35:37,914 --> 00:35:41,016
I told you...in five years you
can forget a lot of things.
436
00:35:41,076 --> 00:35:43,064
Something for the lady?
-Rob Roy, please.
437
00:35:43,124 --> 00:35:44,491
The same.
438
00:35:48,131 --> 00:35:50,932
What made you change your mind
about seeing me again?
439
00:35:54,897 --> 00:35:58,210
You know, finding out I was married
to you kind of threw me.
440
00:35:58,992 --> 00:36:02,169
It was even something the boys at
the hospital used to rib me about.
441
00:36:02,564 --> 00:36:05,605
They had me fixed up with a
wife and four or five kids.
442
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:09,881
They didn't know how close the
gag came to being true.
443
00:36:11,474 --> 00:36:13,672
You still don't believe me, do you?
444
00:36:21,056 --> 00:36:25,236
Maybe this'll convince you it was Eddie
Rice that rang your doorbell last night.
445
00:36:26,537 --> 00:36:29,909
Call Dr Kemble at Letterman's
Hospital in San Francisco.
446
00:36:31,007 --> 00:36:33,025
He'll tell you the whole story.
447
00:36:38,141 --> 00:36:39,767
Tha cigarette case...
448
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,323
Doesn't it mean anything to you?
449
00:36:47,468 --> 00:36:48,868
Should it?
450
00:36:54,926 --> 00:36:57,350
Suppose I did believe you, then what?
451
00:36:59,488 --> 00:37:03,569
Then, I'd try and make you forget that
Eddie Riccardi was ever in your life.
452
00:37:04,476 --> 00:37:06,403
You think you can do that?
453
00:37:07,216 --> 00:37:08,737
Eddie Rice can.
454
00:37:20,823 --> 00:37:22,570
Eddie, leave town.
455
00:37:24,533 --> 00:37:27,228
Now you're talking like Vince.
-Maybe I was yesterday.
456
00:37:27,288 --> 00:37:30,492
Don't ask me why, but go.
-Nina, I don't frighten easily.
457
00:37:30,552 --> 00:37:33,353
You can take that message back to Vince.
Tell him I'm staying!
458
00:37:33,413 --> 00:37:36,816
That's what he wants you to do. That's
why I'm here, to keep you from leaving.
459
00:37:36,876 --> 00:37:38,740
I'd hate to disappoint him then.
460
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,895
Eddie, don't be stubborn, I know Vince.
He doesn't do anything without a reason.
461
00:37:43,964 --> 00:37:45,530
Neither do I.
462
00:37:47,802 --> 00:37:52,590
Stay then! Get yourself beaten up again,
or killed. Do anything you want.
463
00:38:35,782 --> 00:38:38,267
Riccardi.
-Very interesting.
464
00:38:47,205 --> 00:38:48,936
Scotch over water.
465
00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:53,136
Lose something, Charlie?
466
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,406
Tell Nina Martin, Eddie wants to see her.
-Eddie who?
467
00:38:59,658 --> 00:39:01,103
Just Eddie.
468
00:39:01,630 --> 00:39:03,060
Wait here.
469
00:39:11,467 --> 00:39:12,943
What'll I need?
470
00:39:13,003 --> 00:39:15,653
A thousand might bring you luck.
-A thousand?
471
00:39:15,894 --> 00:39:17,475
Give me a thousand.
472
00:39:24,925 --> 00:39:27,891
A character called Eddie's outside,
wants to see you.
473
00:39:27,951 --> 00:39:29,412
Eddie here?
474
00:39:29,788 --> 00:39:31,204
Get rid of him!
475
00:39:31,425 --> 00:39:33,668
That's not what Vince had in mind.
476
00:39:43,422 --> 00:39:44,972
All right, come on.
477
00:39:53,097 --> 00:39:54,663
6...9...12!
478
00:39:54,919 --> 00:39:56,636
All bets down.
479
00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:04,549
It's a nice layout. Vince ought to be
able to pick up some fast money.
480
00:40:04,609 --> 00:40:07,063
You're crazy to come walking in here.
481
00:40:07,123 --> 00:40:09,273
Maybe I'm just hard to convince.
482
00:40:10,477 --> 00:40:12,374
My dressing room is back there.
483
00:40:13,925 --> 00:40:16,590
I'll be back before the
wheel stops turning.
484
00:40:34,853 --> 00:40:35,973
Yeah?
485
00:40:37,478 --> 00:40:38,939
Okay, thanks.
486
00:40:43,645 --> 00:40:45,813
So, she wanted to get rid of him.
487
00:40:47,179 --> 00:40:50,040
I wonder if that dame is trying
to pull a double cross.
488
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,129
Get down to the Golden Horn and pick up
Eddie Riccardi, you'll find him with Nina.
489
00:40:55,189 --> 00:40:56,270
Just him?
490
00:40:56,571 --> 00:40:57,746
Just him.
491
00:40:58,197 --> 00:41:00,110
I'll get around to her later.
492
00:41:03,747 --> 00:41:05,569
I started to leave...
493
00:41:05,794 --> 00:41:08,309
but I kept thinking about
everything you told me.
494
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,230
If I'd of left I'd been all the
things you said I was.
495
00:41:11,727 --> 00:41:13,232
So, I'm staying.
496
00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:17,505
And, I'm taking you out of here.
497
00:41:18,498 --> 00:41:19,673
Nina.
498
00:41:21,043 --> 00:41:23,436
We could have a decent life together.
499
00:41:26,553 --> 00:41:28,465
You got it all figured out.
500
00:41:31,452 --> 00:41:36,089
Well, you're not taking me anywhere.
You pushed me into this life and I like it.
501
00:41:36,481 --> 00:41:41,374
I'm top bait around here steering nice,
fat, pigeons to the gambling table.
502
00:41:41,434 --> 00:41:46,174
I'm one of Vince's kind now and I'm keeping
my life and my job just the way they are.
503
00:41:46,234 --> 00:41:48,026
No matter what I have to do!
504
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:49,934
Come on.
505
00:41:59,090 --> 00:42:00,144
Thanks.
506
00:42:10,804 --> 00:42:13,469
Now, how about some champagne?
507
00:42:14,389 --> 00:42:17,581
Excuse me for a minute, honey.
I forgot I got to call my wife.
508
00:42:32,729 --> 00:42:35,048
Williams, Homicide.
Yeah, Barnes.
509
00:42:36,509 --> 00:42:37,653
Yeah!
510
00:42:38,586 --> 00:42:39,881
Thanks a lot!
511
00:42:40,377 --> 00:42:41,898
What's exciting?
512
00:42:50,385 --> 00:42:54,646
I said, what's exciting? Or, don't
you want to wake me up?
513
00:42:55,138 --> 00:42:59,113
Barnes casing the Golden Horn for vice
intel, tells me Riccardi just walked in.
514
00:42:59,805 --> 00:43:01,266
Trouble maybe?
515
00:43:01,717 --> 00:43:04,924
I could think of plenty of reasons why
there might be for Eddie Rice.
516
00:43:05,478 --> 00:43:07,300
You'll hear from me later.
517
00:43:25,961 --> 00:43:28,189
How you coming with that
Kelly report, Ben?
518
00:43:28,249 --> 00:43:30,945
Just finishing up for you.
-Okay, I'll wait.
519
00:43:33,515 --> 00:43:36,586
Somebody must've believed in that
old gag about an apple a day.
520
00:43:36,646 --> 00:43:40,513
Yeah, but they didn't know it would pin
a murder on them. -Quite an appetite.
521
00:43:40,573 --> 00:43:43,253
Psychological, it creates
a false hunger.
522
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:50,156
Well, here you are, Joe.
I can go home now.
523
00:43:50,216 --> 00:43:53,454
Thanks a lot, Ben. See you tomorrow.
-Okay, see ya tomorrow.
524
00:44:06,875 --> 00:44:07,778
Yeah?
525
00:44:07,838 --> 00:44:10,970
I'm interested in Eddie Riccardi,
not in what's going on in there.
526
00:44:11,030 --> 00:44:13,680
We don't know from Riccardi.
-I do, open up.
527
00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:18,240
Place your bets, folks. Place your
bets. Bet high/low...odd or even.
528
00:44:38,711 --> 00:44:39,795
Yes?
529
00:44:39,990 --> 00:44:43,438
Miss Martin? Williams, Homicide.
May I come in please?
530
00:44:43,732 --> 00:44:44,982
Come in.
531
00:44:47,432 --> 00:44:50,820
Eddie was just picked up by Danny.
-Where'd he take him?
532
00:44:52,557 --> 00:44:54,424
You'll hear from me later.
533
00:45:14,826 --> 00:45:16,377
You know, Williams?
534
00:45:17,054 --> 00:45:19,524
I'm not used to cops with insomnia.
535
00:45:20,201 --> 00:45:22,791
What's on your mind?
-It won't take long.
536
00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:25,960
Danny picked up Eddie Riccardi.
Where are they?
537
00:45:27,537 --> 00:45:29,329
You're in an awful rut.
538
00:45:29,540 --> 00:45:31,497
Always asking questions.
539
00:45:31,557 --> 00:45:33,846
All right...let's start over.
540
00:45:34,581 --> 00:45:37,306
Eddie was at the Golden Horn
with Nina Martin.
541
00:45:37,366 --> 00:45:39,685
Suddenly, he wasn't there anymore.
542
00:45:40,208 --> 00:45:41,368
So...
543
00:45:41,578 --> 00:45:44,018
So...I don't mind waiting.
544
00:45:45,900 --> 00:45:48,053
While we kill a little time...
545
00:45:49,429 --> 00:45:51,176
This might interest you.
546
00:46:01,803 --> 00:46:05,733
And, after we pick up Riccardi...
we're going down to police headquarters.
547
00:46:06,034 --> 00:46:08,579
You're gonna have a manicure...on me.
548
00:46:10,294 --> 00:46:13,380
You know, you're gonna look awful
silly when I get through with you.
549
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,819
If I'm wrong...I'll apologize.
550
00:46:21,050 --> 00:46:23,264
Say hello, nothing more.
551
00:46:25,733 --> 00:46:26,862
Hello.
552
00:46:27,674 --> 00:46:31,408
Vince, we're at the shop. Do we
stay or bring Riccardi up there?
553
00:46:32,507 --> 00:46:34,238
Tell him you'll be down.
554
00:46:52,464 --> 00:46:53,699
Okay, Coke...
555
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,385
<i>Bring him up here.</i>
556
00:47:28,724 --> 00:47:30,530
What do you want now?
557
00:47:41,819 --> 00:47:44,605
Just when he was coming up
in the department.
558
00:49:14,591 --> 00:49:15,886
Car 9-4
559
00:49:15,946 --> 00:49:17,813
9-4 to Control-4.
560
00:49:17,873 --> 00:49:20,252
<i>Clear Frequency-4, this is an emergency.</i>
561
00:49:20,312 --> 00:49:23,126
Control-4 to 94, go ahead.
562
00:49:23,186 --> 00:49:25,099
<i>Car 94 to Control-4</i>
563
00:49:25,159 --> 00:49:29,209
<i>Notify the Homicide Bureau, we have found
the body of Lt Williams in his car.</i>
564
00:49:29,269 --> 00:49:31,133
At Sepulveda and Sunset.
565
00:50:17,423 --> 00:50:18,763
Give you a lift, son?
566
00:50:18,823 --> 00:50:21,485
Thanks, I had a little accident
back up a side road.
567
00:50:21,545 --> 00:50:24,556
I have to go to town, get a tow car.
-Anybody killed?
568
00:50:27,016 --> 00:50:29,561
No luck at all tonight.
Hop in.
569
00:50:39,349 --> 00:50:42,090
Bet you thought I wouldn't stop
to pick you up, didn't you?
570
00:50:42,150 --> 00:50:43,638
I didn't know.
571
00:50:43,698 --> 00:50:45,113
It's late.
-See...
572
00:50:45,173 --> 00:50:49,130
That's why I fooled you. Have me orders.
Pick up anybody, anytime.
573
00:50:49,747 --> 00:50:51,870
Green Acres Morticians policy.
574
00:50:52,094 --> 00:50:54,698
Live today...maybe a customer tomorrow.
575
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,400
Pays off too.
576
00:50:56,460 --> 00:50:59,848
Most people remember the nice things
you do for them while they're living.
577
00:50:59,908 --> 00:51:03,864
We sure don't get any complaints about our
service from them after they're dead.
578
00:51:03,924 --> 00:51:05,927
Their family, that is.
579
00:51:07,423 --> 00:51:09,441
That accident hurt you any?
580
00:51:10,992 --> 00:51:13,069
Got a match?
-Sure do.
581
00:51:19,645 --> 00:51:21,813
Police, ambulance and everything.
582
00:51:22,114 --> 00:51:24,312
I wonder if I'm losing any customers?
583
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:40,902
Finished with Joe's stuff yet?
-Still working on it.
584
00:51:43,326 --> 00:51:44,816
It's too bad...
585
00:51:45,434 --> 00:51:48,460
Joe's wife sure liked him
in that suit too.
586
00:52:13,311 --> 00:52:16,021
Any line on Riccardi yet?
-Nothing, Captain.
587
00:52:16,081 --> 00:52:19,710
Keep trying, he's the last one who
might of seen Joe. -Okay.
588
00:52:20,197 --> 00:52:21,718
Eddie Riccardi.
589
00:52:24,187 --> 00:52:26,445
Guess Williams was right after all.
590
00:52:26,701 --> 00:52:28,538
Riccardi or Rice.
591
00:52:28,826 --> 00:52:32,530
A Silver Star and a dumb look doesn't
change a no good heel.
592
00:52:33,147 --> 00:52:36,173
Attention all units!
Attention all units!
593
00:52:36,233 --> 00:52:40,175
Be on the lookout for the following
<i>described suspect, wanted for murder:</i>
594
00:52:40,551 --> 00:52:43,322
<i>Eddie Riccardi, alias Eddie Rice,</i>
595
00:52:43,589 --> 00:52:46,164
<i>White male, American,</i>
596
00:52:46,224 --> 00:52:49,341
<i>Age 33, 6 foot 2.</i>
597
00:52:49,729 --> 00:52:51,506
<i>190 lbs...</i>
598
00:52:51,957 --> 00:52:53,312
<i>Dark brown...</i>
599
00:52:53,659 --> 00:52:55,944
You phone the cops and do 'em a favor,
600
00:52:56,004 --> 00:53:00,024
where to find a dead cop and the guy
that did it, and what happens...
601
00:53:05,972 --> 00:53:08,035
The first stop is Nina Martin's.
602
00:53:08,276 --> 00:53:10,474
I want Eddie before the cops get him.
603
00:53:10,730 --> 00:53:12,913
Then they can have him for a present.
604
00:53:14,334 --> 00:53:15,915
And alive!
605
00:53:32,066 --> 00:53:33,843
Eddie!
-Shut up!
606
00:53:34,168 --> 00:53:36,065
Get those lights out!
607
00:53:37,285 --> 00:53:39,152
Eddie, what happened?
608
00:53:40,533 --> 00:53:43,951
You certainly did a neat job
of tying me into a murder.
609
00:53:44,011 --> 00:53:46,089
Joe Williams was killed tonight.
610
00:53:46,149 --> 00:53:47,901
You?
-I don't know.
611
00:53:47,961 --> 00:53:51,138
The last thing I remember was being slugged
over the head at Vince Alexander's.
612
00:53:51,198 --> 00:53:53,713
I know you think that...
-I haven't got time to think!
613
00:53:53,773 --> 00:53:57,811
All I want is a few bucks, your car and
you in my sight till I get out of here!
614
00:53:57,871 --> 00:53:59,874
Eddie, you've got to believe me!
615
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:01,335
Believe?
616
00:54:01,656 --> 00:54:03,508
Like you believed me?
617
00:54:03,885 --> 00:54:05,661
Give me the keys!
618
00:54:10,271 --> 00:54:14,017
Eddie! This is why I turned on you
tonight, to get you away from Vince.
619
00:54:14,077 --> 00:54:16,992
The keys are in the car, you go,
I'll try to stall them off.
620
00:54:17,224 --> 00:54:19,468
And get a bullet in the back of my head?
621
00:54:19,528 --> 00:54:22,404
Oh, Eddie! You've got to trust me,
it's your only chance.
622
00:54:24,815 --> 00:54:26,091
Quick!
623
00:54:26,444 --> 00:54:28,043
The garage.
624
00:55:25,770 --> 00:55:29,188
This is where you get out. -Go to the
police, Eddie. Before it's too late.
625
00:55:29,248 --> 00:55:32,400
With my fingerprints all over the
gun and all over Williams car?
626
00:55:32,460 --> 00:55:35,257
I wouldn't last long enough to walk
to the nearest police station.
627
00:55:35,317 --> 00:55:38,133
If I did what could I tell them?
Now out!
628
00:55:38,788 --> 00:55:41,737
You want me to go home and wait
for Vince to come back again?
629
00:55:41,797 --> 00:55:45,800
That's something Eddie Riccardo would
tell me to do, not Eddie Rice.
630
00:55:49,139 --> 00:55:50,606
All right.
631
00:56:06,538 --> 00:56:07,668
Stop.
632
00:56:11,312 --> 00:56:13,997
Keep your lights off and
the motor running.
633
00:56:57,233 --> 00:56:59,889
Well, now you've got a gun! What next?
634
00:57:01,213 --> 00:57:04,044
I didn't ask for any killings,
so I'm in the middle.
635
00:57:04,528 --> 00:57:07,711
But, I'm not going to be a clay
pigeon for Vince Alexander.
636
00:57:08,308 --> 00:57:10,513
You can't prove anything dead.
637
00:57:10,573 --> 00:57:14,597
That would make Vince very happy,
something I wouldn't want to let happen.
638
00:57:15,047 --> 00:57:18,758
Is there any place we could go, someone
you can trust to put us up for the night?
639
00:57:18,818 --> 00:57:20,299
I need time.
640
00:57:21,747 --> 00:57:23,404
Maybe there is.
641
00:57:23,464 --> 00:57:25,443
It's a long chance, but...
642
00:57:28,917 --> 00:57:31,763
You don't think you're going to
get away with this, do you?
643
00:57:32,276 --> 00:57:34,477
We're staying here till tomorrow.
644
00:57:42,766 --> 00:57:46,004
Stay away from that phone!
If it rings, let it keep ringing!
645
00:57:46,064 --> 00:57:48,953
Get rid of anybody who comes to
the door, I'll be right behind you
646
00:57:49,013 --> 00:57:50,845
in case you give the wrong answers.
647
00:57:55,517 --> 00:57:58,539
What about the girl's place?
-There and gone.
648
00:57:58,599 --> 00:58:02,705
Get a teletype out on her car immediately,
have it re-broadcast every half hour.
649
00:58:08,211 --> 00:58:10,661
I want roadblocks at all these points.
650
00:58:10,721 --> 00:58:12,705
I want the airport, the railroad station,
651
00:58:12,765 --> 00:58:15,536
all the bus terminals put
under a 24 surveillance.
652
00:58:15,596 --> 00:58:18,001
I want every hotel and
flophouse notified.
653
00:58:18,061 --> 00:58:20,818
They're in this town somewhere
and they're not getting out.
654
00:58:21,019 --> 00:58:22,354
One other thing...
655
00:58:22,414 --> 00:58:26,887
We picked up Riccardi's fingerprints on
that gun shop. He's got a gun now.
656
00:58:27,294 --> 00:58:29,421
Don't give him a chance to use it!
657
00:58:29,481 --> 00:58:31,284
All right, start moving.
658
00:58:31,344 --> 00:58:33,908
<i>The police tightened its dragnet
about the city today.</i>
659
00:58:33,968 --> 00:58:36,988
<i>Riccardi escaped just as the police
were ready to close in on him</i>
660
00:58:37,048 --> 00:58:39,197
<i>after they received an
anonymous phone call</i>
661
00:58:39,257 --> 00:58:42,292
<i>which led them to discover the murdered
body of one of their men today.</i>
662
00:58:42,352 --> 00:58:44,067
<i>Every available man...</i>
663
00:58:47,714 --> 00:58:49,958
We'll wait till it's dark
and get out of here.
664
00:58:50,018 --> 00:58:52,423
You couldn't arrange to
drop dead before then?
665
00:58:52,483 --> 00:58:55,606
Hazel, you've got to believe us.
Eddie didn't do it!
666
00:58:55,897 --> 00:58:57,936
He should still drop dead.
667
00:58:58,269 --> 00:58:59,604
Twice.
668
01:00:12,318 --> 01:00:13,477
Coke!
669
01:00:36,274 --> 01:00:38,401
Get me a couple of clean towels.
670
01:00:42,231 --> 01:00:43,771
It's pretty bad.
671
01:00:44,739 --> 01:00:49,052
I'll have you out of here in a minute,
we'll find a doctor. -Go to the police.
672
01:00:49,497 --> 01:00:51,448
Eddie, go to the police.
673
01:00:53,848 --> 01:00:55,961
Your car in the garage?
-Yes.
674
01:00:56,021 --> 01:00:58,704
Where are your keys?
-In my purse.
675
01:00:58,764 --> 01:01:00,288
Take care of her.
676
01:01:22,875 --> 01:01:23,843
Thanks.
677
01:01:23,903 --> 01:01:26,748
I'll have the doctor come right
in the moment he returns.
678
01:01:38,651 --> 01:01:40,602
Light me a cigarette.
679
01:02:02,498 --> 01:02:04,288
You're far away.
680
01:02:06,205 --> 01:02:07,614
How far?
681
01:02:09,418 --> 01:02:10,885
Five years.
682
01:02:11,545 --> 01:02:13,041
A lifetime.
683
01:02:14,259 --> 01:02:15,961
Beyond that, a blank.
684
01:02:17,162 --> 01:02:18,879
Me too, Eddie.
685
01:02:18,939 --> 01:02:21,270
Only, it's been a different
kind of a blank.
686
01:02:21,798 --> 01:02:24,453
It's being pushed back
to Eddie Riccardi.
687
01:02:24,937 --> 01:02:26,184
This.
688
01:02:26,811 --> 01:02:30,215
The whole past that keeps me
from being like other people.
689
01:02:30,992 --> 01:02:32,763
Now all that's left is
690
01:02:32,823 --> 01:02:36,460
wondering what it would be like if there
had only been an Eddie Rice.
691
01:02:38,540 --> 01:02:41,287
If I'd of just met you
for the first time.
692
01:02:43,087 --> 01:02:45,508
Eddie Rice can have that.
693
01:02:48,248 --> 01:02:50,610
Oh, you're...good, Eddie.
694
01:02:51,681 --> 01:02:53,368
You're good.
695
01:02:54,934 --> 01:02:57,622
You've taken away the hate in me.
696
01:02:58,176 --> 01:02:59,995
Destroyed it.
697
01:03:01,946 --> 01:03:03,912
You're...good, Eddie.
698
01:03:07,874 --> 01:03:10,573
When a baby wants to be born,
hours don't matter!
699
01:03:10,633 --> 01:03:12,554
7 poundsd 7ounces...a boy.
700
01:03:12,614 --> 01:03:14,549
Doctor, her shoulder...
701
01:03:29,779 --> 01:03:31,760
I can't treat gun wounds.
702
01:03:31,820 --> 01:03:34,679
She'll have to go to the police
emergency hospital.
703
01:03:34,739 --> 01:03:36,179
I don't think so.
704
01:03:36,239 --> 01:03:39,260
I'm sorry, but I've got to report
this to the police.
705
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:40,624
Doctor.
706
01:03:41,138 --> 01:03:43,191
That report to the police...
707
01:03:43,539 --> 01:03:44,918
It'll wait.
708
01:03:45,123 --> 01:03:47,368
If you want to pull that
trigger, go ahead.
709
01:03:49,535 --> 01:03:51,603
Police headquarters, please.
710
01:03:53,055 --> 01:03:56,092
Put that gun away! I said I was
going to call the police.
711
01:03:56,293 --> 01:03:57,775
Police headquarters?
712
01:03:57,980 --> 01:04:00,914
This is Dr Stacey, 93 Chestnut Street.
713
01:04:01,174 --> 01:04:03,492
Send an ambulance and a squad car.
714
01:04:09,003 --> 01:04:10,602
How bad is it?
715
01:04:14,534 --> 01:04:16,118
She'll be all right.
716
01:04:18,447 --> 01:04:20,262
You'd better leave.
717
01:04:27,035 --> 01:04:30,805
Eddie, I'm scared...I'm scared...
-Take it easy, you'll be all right.
718
01:04:30,865 --> 01:04:33,341
Not for me, for you.
-Listen...
719
01:04:33,531 --> 01:04:37,507
I'm leaving you for a little while.
I've got an idea, it might work.
720
01:04:37,567 --> 01:04:39,672
Something very important.
721
01:04:40,214 --> 01:04:44,395
You knew all about me. The people
I used to know, the places I went.
722
01:04:44,699 --> 01:04:46,855
Think for me, go back five years.
723
01:04:46,915 --> 01:04:51,110
Who was there? Just one person.
Give me the answers, quick!
724
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,289
What you say is my only chance,
the only chance I've got.
725
01:04:54,349 --> 01:04:58,231
The only one left is...Petey.
He can't be trusted with Vince.
726
01:04:58,291 --> 01:05:01,337
Where will I find him?
-Not him, he's... -Tell me!
727
01:05:01,759 --> 01:05:04,457
Two, three places on Main Street.
728
01:05:05,198 --> 01:05:07,034
Fourth and Main...
729
01:05:07,094 --> 01:05:10,091
And after Nina ran in front of him,
Coke never had a chance.
730
01:05:10,151 --> 01:05:11,748
That Eddie sure didn't miss.
731
01:05:11,808 --> 01:05:14,345
Coke took three, went right through
his breakfast, lunch and supper.
732
01:05:14,405 --> 01:05:16,575
Anybody come around, ask any questions?
733
01:05:16,635 --> 01:05:19,900
None I couldn't answer, Vince.
-Get back down and keep him company.
734
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,570
But...but, the police?
-That's exactly what I want!
735
01:05:22,630 --> 01:05:25,559
Tell him how Riccardi broke into your
apartment, found Coke there
736
01:05:25,619 --> 01:05:28,727
pulled his gun and fired. Now do
what I told you, just that!
737
01:05:29,035 --> 01:05:31,250
All right, Vince.
-Take her back!
738
01:05:35,048 --> 01:05:37,293
Eddie's got to find a doctor somewhere.
739
01:05:37,484 --> 01:05:39,581
And, if he does what I think, he'll...
740
01:05:39,772 --> 01:05:42,295
dump the girl...and start looking
for a hidewaway.
741
01:05:43,785 --> 01:05:44,973
Get going!
742
01:05:45,033 --> 01:05:48,039
Spread the news I got a personal
interest in Eddie Riccardi.
743
01:05:48,099 --> 01:05:50,870
I don't want anything to happen
to him...until I get there.
744
01:05:51,389 --> 01:05:53,443
Unless the cops get him first.
745
01:05:54,467 --> 01:05:57,841
You through with him, Doc?
-Yup. He was a fine specimen.
746
01:05:57,901 --> 01:06:00,041
Would have had a long life
if this hadn't happened.
747
01:06:00,101 --> 01:06:02,051
I'll send you my report in the morning.
748
01:06:05,694 --> 01:06:08,335
I'm sure you don't mind coming
downtown, Miss Downs?
749
01:06:08,395 --> 01:06:10,477
Well, I...
-I thought not.
750
01:06:12,659 --> 01:06:14,859
What'd you find?
-It was them all right.
751
01:06:14,919 --> 01:06:17,471
Riccardi left the doctor's office
about 30 minutes ago
752
01:06:17,531 --> 01:06:20,830
Notify Communications? -They're blanketing
the whole area. -The girl?
753
01:06:20,890 --> 01:06:25,608
County Jail Hospital. Still out, whether
she's playing it safe or just not talking.
754
01:06:25,668 --> 01:06:29,085
Keep Melon there, the minute she comes
out, I want to know. -Any ideas?
755
01:06:29,145 --> 01:06:31,970
Lots! We need Riccardi to
explain some of them.
756
01:06:32,157 --> 01:06:34,196
If he lives that long.
757
01:06:38,347 --> 01:06:41,120
Hello. I'm looking for Petey,
have you seen him?
758
01:06:42,691 --> 01:06:44,671
Do you know where to find him?
759
01:06:57,552 --> 01:07:00,780
<i>Nina said three or four places,
I must have hit twenty.</i>
760
01:07:01,245 --> 01:07:03,196
<i>And every answer the same.</i>
761
01:07:03,710 --> 01:07:04,810
<i>No.</i>
762
01:07:05,803 --> 01:07:08,605
<i>The shake of their head,
a frightened face.</i>
763
01:07:10,111 --> 01:07:14,043
<i>They knew where I could find what I was
looking for, but they wouldn't talk.</i>
764
01:07:14,483 --> 01:07:16,141
<i>They were scared.</i>
765
01:08:08,257 --> 01:08:11,660
But, Vince! Appreciate the fact
that at least I called you.
766
01:08:11,961 --> 01:08:14,015
I let him stay, it's another rap.
767
01:08:14,075 --> 01:08:17,623
Another rap, I get life! You've
got to appreciate that!
768
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,296
And I'd appreciate it if you'd
tell me where to find Petey.
769
01:08:24,044 --> 01:08:25,306
Right now!
770
01:08:25,366 --> 01:08:26,758
Sure, Eddie.
771
01:08:27,096 --> 01:08:28,152
Sure.
772
01:08:34,841 --> 01:08:36,822
Ocean Boulevard and 25th.
773
01:09:43,996 --> 01:09:46,490
Who's there? Who is it?
-Eddie.
774
01:09:47,355 --> 01:09:48,910
Eddie Riccardi.
775
01:09:49,277 --> 01:09:52,886
Oh, Eddie boy. Every cop in the
city is out gunning for you!
776
01:09:53,350 --> 01:09:55,403
Maybe you don't care if you live...
777
01:09:55,711 --> 01:09:57,604
I got a few more years left!
778
01:09:57,839 --> 01:09:59,526
Open the door, Petey.
779
01:10:00,083 --> 01:10:01,799
You're dead if you don't.
780
01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:04,769
All right, Eddie.
781
01:10:12,804 --> 01:10:15,914
You didn't think I'd leave you out
there in the cold, did you Eddie?
782
01:10:16,545 --> 01:10:20,550
Five years, no see! But, you sure got
a hot fire burning under you, huh?
783
01:10:21,019 --> 01:10:22,105
Yeah.
784
01:10:24,891 --> 01:10:26,900
You need a pal, a friend.
785
01:10:30,025 --> 01:10:32,240
Sure, I need a friend, Petey.
786
01:10:32,483 --> 01:10:36,263
Look, old friend... Will you...will
you put that mouthpiece away?
787
01:10:36,323 --> 01:10:39,153
Somehow I...I still believe they go off!
788
01:10:39,926 --> 01:10:42,669
And, Samson my cat, you remember my cat?
789
01:10:44,180 --> 01:10:46,439
He's not feeling too good again.
790
01:10:46,949 --> 01:10:49,545
You stay careful and
nothing will happen.
791
01:10:49,605 --> 01:10:53,110
Oh sure. Sure, Eddie. You're
talking to Petey, remember?
792
01:10:53,340 --> 01:10:55,746
Any objections to my moving in with you?
793
01:10:56,025 --> 01:10:58,416
I'll be gone, tomorrow or the next day.
794
01:10:58,476 --> 01:11:01,771
Oh, me? Turn away practically,
my own flesh and blood?
795
01:11:03,341 --> 01:11:04,822
Relax, Eddie.
796
01:11:08,491 --> 01:11:11,308
There you are, Eddie. Nothing's
too good for you.
797
01:11:12,355 --> 01:11:16,154
How about some food, Petey?
I haven't eaten all night.
798
01:11:16,536 --> 01:11:18,370
You haven't changed a bit.
799
01:11:18,590 --> 01:11:20,086
Always hungry!
800
01:11:20,146 --> 01:11:22,022
Still tied up with Vince?
801
01:11:24,002 --> 01:11:27,670
I do a little private eyeing on the side.
A job here, a job there.
802
01:11:28,007 --> 01:11:29,284
Nothing big.
803
01:11:31,150 --> 01:11:32,705
I'll telephone.
804
01:11:43,749 --> 01:11:47,358
Hello, friend? Petey! I got
a special customer.
805
01:11:47,828 --> 01:11:49,852
Yeah. Yeah, an old one.
806
01:11:50,881 --> 01:11:54,094
How about sending something over?
He's tired and hungry.
807
01:11:54,813 --> 01:11:56,778
A pot of coffee and a sandwich.
808
01:11:56,969 --> 01:11:58,011
Turkey.
809
01:11:58,266 --> 01:11:59,352
Tongue
810
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:01,684
Egg salad combination.
811
01:12:02,638 --> 01:12:04,442
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
812
01:12:05,543 --> 01:12:06,863
You got it.
813
01:12:12,752 --> 01:12:16,068
You see, Eddie? Everything's
just like old times.
814
01:12:16,655 --> 01:12:18,474
If you say so, Petey.
815
01:12:20,114 --> 01:12:21,948
I'm gettin' kinda sleepy.
816
01:12:22,271 --> 01:12:25,308
You just make yourself at home,
food will be along pretty soon.
817
01:12:25,368 --> 01:12:28,183
Vince has gotten to be a big
man the last five years.
818
01:12:28,675 --> 01:12:31,168
I'm really gettin' pretty tired, friend.
819
01:12:31,228 --> 01:12:33,457
Why don't you bring me
up to date, Petey?
820
01:12:33,517 --> 01:12:35,247
I'm really awful tired, friend!
821
01:12:35,307 --> 01:12:37,501
How long will it take Vince to get here?
822
01:12:37,971 --> 01:12:40,861
Eddie...Eddie, you...you embarrass me.
823
01:12:41,135 --> 01:12:43,834
I'll kill you if you don't give
it to me straight, Petey!
824
01:12:43,894 --> 01:12:47,047
Eddie...Eddie, don't talk like that.
Samson's sick!
825
01:12:47,543 --> 01:12:50,403
I'm telling you, Eddie!
-What are you telling me? How long?
826
01:12:50,463 --> 01:12:53,557
Five minutes? Ten? Fifteen minutes?
Twenty minutes?
827
01:12:54,096 --> 01:12:57,015
About...about fifteen minutes, Eddie.
828
01:12:57,323 --> 01:13:00,902
Vince puts you on the spot!
He's that way with all the boys!
829
01:13:01,162 --> 01:13:04,781
Blow Eddie! Take me with you.
You and me was always friends!
830
01:13:04,841 --> 01:13:08,273
You just stay in front of me and keep your
mouth shut and you won't get into trouble.
831
01:13:08,333 --> 01:13:11,265
Sure, Eddie! You got nothing
to worry about from me.
832
01:13:11,325 --> 01:13:14,361
Just stay my friend, Petey.
-Yeah, Eddie.
833
01:13:27,837 --> 01:13:29,935
You're retired, you can go home now.
834
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:32,601
Your friend want a ride?
-Not tonight.
835
01:13:34,995 --> 01:13:36,151
$2.80
836
01:13:36,711 --> 01:13:39,616
This will get you a thousand.
Come on, Petey.
837
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,005
Take care of Petey.
838
01:15:45,187 --> 01:15:46,434
Eddie!
839
01:15:46,625 --> 01:15:48,165
Let's get out of here!
840
01:15:49,661 --> 01:15:51,158
Go ahead, Petey.
841
01:15:51,610 --> 01:15:52,974
Thanks, Eddie.
842
01:15:54,148 --> 01:15:55,615
They're coming!
843
01:18:02,988 --> 01:18:04,191
Eddie.
844
01:18:04,792 --> 01:18:06,274
Can you hear me?
845
01:18:09,079 --> 01:18:10,898
We can make a break.
846
01:18:11,558 --> 01:18:13,319
Cover for each other.
847
01:18:14,096 --> 01:18:15,739
I got a place.
848
01:18:17,148 --> 01:18:18,820
You and me, Eddie.
849
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,342
We'll start up again.
850
01:18:22,914 --> 01:18:25,056
Just like old times.
851
01:18:30,072 --> 01:18:31,671
I got money, Eddie.
852
01:18:32,992 --> 01:18:34,327
Big money!
853
01:18:37,521 --> 01:18:39,355
Samson! Samson!
854
01:18:39,986 --> 01:18:41,159
Samson!
855
01:18:43,096 --> 01:18:44,841
Petey! Come back!
856
01:18:46,807 --> 01:18:47,908
Samson.
857
01:18:48,318 --> 01:18:50,446
Samson, baby. Samson.
858
01:19:47,773 --> 01:19:50,091
Riccardi! Alexander!
859
01:19:50,292 --> 01:19:53,813
We'll give you three minutes to come out.
We're gonna start counting.
860
01:19:54,135 --> 01:19:57,920
At the end of three minutes if you're
not out, we're coming to get you!
861
01:19:58,429 --> 01:20:00,600
This is your last chance, Eddie.
862
01:20:01,862 --> 01:20:04,121
There's just you and me left now.
863
01:20:04,181 --> 01:20:05,676
No deal, Vince.
864
01:20:06,455 --> 01:20:08,538
I know you killed Joe Williams.
865
01:20:08,978 --> 01:20:10,357
Okay...
866
01:20:11,516 --> 01:20:13,071
No deals.
867
01:21:51,795 --> 01:21:54,993
We want you, Riccardi..
Alive, Alexander!
868
01:21:55,595 --> 01:21:58,646
If you're in there and not wounded,
bring Riccardi out.
869
01:21:59,653 --> 01:22:03,761
You, Riccardi! If you're alone, come
out with your hands in the air!
870
01:22:06,712 --> 01:22:09,176
Here's when you and I part company.
871
01:22:09,396 --> 01:22:12,081
You're gonna get paid off in full.
872
01:22:41,345 --> 01:22:43,574
Thanks for bringing him out, Vince.
873
01:22:43,853 --> 01:22:47,169
Now, drop your gun.
I said drop your gun, Vince!
874
01:22:49,233 --> 01:22:51,932
Eddie will take what I
got first, Anderson!
875
01:22:54,015 --> 01:22:56,568
All police officers hold your fire!
876
01:22:57,552 --> 01:22:59,532
Don't be crazy, Alexander.
877
01:22:59,899 --> 01:23:02,774
There have been enough people killed.
Give yourself up.
878
01:23:02,834 --> 01:23:04,491
No bargains, Anderson!
879
01:23:04,551 --> 01:23:06,487
You want Riccardi alive...
880
01:23:06,547 --> 01:23:07,866
I want out!
881
01:23:07,926 --> 01:23:10,682
What guarantee have I got that
you won't kill Riccardi?
882
01:23:10,742 --> 01:23:13,250
You don't!
-Be sensible, Alexander.
883
01:23:13,979 --> 01:23:16,854
If we let you out now,
we'll get you later.
884
01:23:17,089 --> 01:23:19,040
You'll be dead before morning.
885
01:23:19,245 --> 01:23:21,930
You got 30 seconds to make
up your mind, Anderson!
886
01:23:22,688 --> 01:23:24,053
I go...
887
01:23:24,361 --> 01:23:26,415
or Riccardi gets it in the back!
888
01:23:29,595 --> 01:23:31,388
Sat down, Eddie! Don't move!
889
01:24:05,464 --> 01:24:06,711
Is he dead?
890
01:24:06,771 --> 01:24:09,234
He will be if we don't get
him to a hospital.
891
01:24:15,716 --> 01:24:19,090
That taxi driver must have really
gotten to you in a hurry.
892
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,980
He did, asking for a $1000 reward.
893
01:24:22,337 --> 01:24:26,826
And all the questions you want to ask...
I called Dr Kemble from San Francisco.
894
01:24:27,149 --> 01:24:31,242
We knew Vince killed Jow Williams,
we found his blood on Joe's clothing.
895
01:24:31,604 --> 01:24:34,435
It matched up with our
lab files, yours didn't.
896
01:24:34,740 --> 01:24:37,351
And, Hazel told us the truth about Coke.
897
01:24:37,747 --> 01:24:41,254
Now, just get well. We'll finish
our business later.
898
01:24:42,217 --> 01:24:43,391
Nina...
899
01:24:43,451 --> 01:24:45,782
She's fine...in the waiting room.
900
01:25:05,063 --> 01:25:08,173
You shouldn't kiss a guy like
that when he's sick in bed.
901
01:25:10,205 --> 01:25:14,254
Well, I've been waiting outside all the
time. They wouldn't tell me anything.
902
01:25:14,314 --> 01:25:15,970
I was afraid...
903
01:25:17,151 --> 01:25:18,647
It's all right.
904
01:25:19,674 --> 01:25:21,170
We'll go away.
905
01:25:21,230 --> 01:25:24,222
We'll find that...crazy world of yours.
906
01:25:25,698 --> 01:25:27,151
Sure.
907
01:25:30,408 --> 01:25:32,373
There's only one thing...
908
01:25:33,675 --> 01:25:35,494
You'll always be...
909
01:25:35,758 --> 01:25:37,298
Eddie Rice.
910
01:25:38,853 --> 01:25:40,540
For the rest of my life.
911
01:25:40,990 --> 01:25:43,059
I have the doc's word for him.
912
01:25:44,673 --> 01:25:46,110
Come here.

After sustaining a head wound in combat, decorated World War II veteran Eddie Rice (John Payne) is treated at a San Francisco military hospital for a permanent form of amnesia. This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.
Rice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely.

1
00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556
This is the Letterman General Hosiptal
at San Francisco, California.
2
00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219
For those outside these gates the
war is over, a thing of the past.
3
00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888
For those behind these gates there's a
grim, hard, bitter fight still going on.
4
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518
Take one case, the case
of Eddie Rice, age 33.
5
00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206
Enlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.
Holder of the Silver Star, but today...
6
00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026
A name and date number, a medical file.
For five years a chart on a hospital bed.
7
00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340
A victim of amnesia.
A mind with a blocked out past.
8
00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127
Where were you born, Eddie?
Who are your parents?
9
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912
Any brothers? Sisters?
10
00:01:54,277 --> 00:01:58,775
Where did you go to school?
What's your trade? Profession?
11
00:01:59,433 --> 00:02:01,748
Are you rich?
Poor?
12
00:02:02,051 --> 00:02:03,689
Got a girl?
13
00:02:03,915 --> 00:02:05,289
Married?
14
00:02:05,349 --> 00:02:06,869
I don't know.
15
00:02:07,378 --> 00:02:09,015
I don't know!
16
00:02:09,824 --> 00:02:11,537
I can't remember.
17
00:02:12,444 --> 00:02:14,571
I just can't remember, doctor.
18
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:30,922
You had me open. What did you quit for?
-We did the best we could, Eddie.
19
00:02:31,218 --> 00:02:33,439
It'll just have to stay there.
20
00:02:34,606 --> 00:02:38,483
Is that final?
-Unless you want your name on a headstone.
21
00:02:38,543 --> 00:02:43,592
That shrapnel's too deep in your brain.
Scar tissue has grown all around it.
22
00:02:43,652 --> 00:02:46,980
Believe me, we tried.
-Yeah, I guess you did.
23
00:02:48,391 --> 00:02:52,551
Where do I go from here?
-Eddie, there are two kinds of amnesia:
24
00:02:52,611 --> 00:02:54,895
psychological and organic.
25
00:02:55,178 --> 00:03:00,240
The psychological form is temporary, but
it can be cured through psychotherapy.
26
00:03:01,016 --> 00:03:03,876
Yours is organic, it's permanent.
27
00:03:04,347 --> 00:03:07,772
That piece of steel in your brain
has blocked out your memory.
28
00:03:07,832 --> 00:03:10,863
Which doesn't leave me much
of a future, does it?
29
00:03:10,923 --> 00:03:15,071
Of course it does, physically
you're normal and healthy.
30
00:03:15,131 --> 00:03:17,771
You've received the maximum
medical benefits
31
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:22,559
You've completed training courses that make
you fit to hold down a job and face life.
32
00:03:23,499 --> 00:03:26,540
With no address, no next
of kin, nothing.
33
00:03:27,489 --> 00:03:29,567
Enlisted from Los Angeles...
34
00:03:29,627 --> 00:03:32,397
Intelligence ran that down
for us, remember?
35
00:03:32,867 --> 00:03:35,818
Oh sure, there were a lot of
people named Rice there...
36
00:03:36,026 --> 00:03:37,682
but not this Eddie Rice.
37
00:03:37,742 --> 00:03:41,777
But, Army Intelligence didn't mow
Los Angeles lawns as a kid, Eddie.
38
00:03:41,837 --> 00:03:44,292
They didn't trade at the corner market.
39
00:03:44,352 --> 00:03:48,775
They didn't work with people in a factory,
in an office, as you might have done.
40
00:03:48,986 --> 00:03:50,136
Now...
41
00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:54,081
If you went down there...and ran
into somebody who knew you,
42
00:03:54,141 --> 00:03:55,918
just one person...
43
00:03:56,384 --> 00:03:57,694
Yes...
44
00:03:58,992 --> 00:04:01,702
If I ran into just one person
who knew me.
45
00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:03,689
One guy...
46
00:04:04,785 --> 00:04:07,149
Who would come up to me and say:
47
00:04:07,616 --> 00:04:08,775
"Eddie."
48
00:04:08,986 --> 00:04:10,491
"Eddie Rice."
49
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:12,253
"How have you been?"
50
00:04:12,581 --> 00:04:14,132
"Where have you been?"
51
00:04:14,192 --> 00:04:15,577
That's it, Eddie.
52
00:04:15,637 --> 00:04:18,766
And then, they'd tell me about
someone else I used to know.
53
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:21,626
And, I'd meet somebody else.
54
00:04:22,635 --> 00:04:24,141
And another...
55
00:04:25,342 --> 00:04:26,908
And another...
56
00:04:57,774 --> 00:05:00,996
<i>Sure, it scares you to go out into
a world you don't remember...</i>
57
00:05:01,484 --> 00:05:02,959
<i>but you're here now.</i>
58
00:05:03,742 --> 00:05:05,473
<i>It'll be a new life.</i>
59
00:05:05,805 --> 00:05:07,295
<i>A new start.</i>
60
00:05:08,231 --> 00:05:10,189
<i>Find yourself a place to live.</i>
61
00:05:10,957 --> 00:05:12,613
<i>Get yourself a job.</i>
62
00:05:13,290 --> 00:05:14,540
<i>Get going.</i>
63
00:05:15,353 --> 00:05:16,919
<i>Get going, Eddie!</i>
64
00:05:19,198 --> 00:05:20,357
Eddie!
65
00:05:20,417 --> 00:05:22,736
You know, it's a small world, Eddie.
66
00:05:22,796 --> 00:05:25,266
We came down here to pick
up a little of one thing,
67
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:28,650
and we ran into a little of another!
-A lot of us thought you were dead.
68
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:32,851
Yes, and...those that didn't hoped you
were. What are you doing in town?
69
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,642
I'm just in from San Francisco.
70
00:05:36,702 --> 00:05:40,060
I didn't ask you that.
-He asked you what you were doing in town.
71
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,354
I cam here to look up some...people.
72
00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:45,989
Funny, I...I had a feeling that was it.
73
00:05:46,049 --> 00:05:48,443
Anderson one of them?
-Anderson?
74
00:05:49,719 --> 00:05:50,698
Maybe.
75
00:05:50,758 --> 00:05:54,251
I think you're lying, Eddie. I don't think you
were gonna look up Anderson at all.
76
00:05:54,311 --> 00:05:57,458
Barrett, do you think he was gonna
look up Anderson? -No, Joe.
77
00:05:57,699 --> 00:06:00,108
Not Anderson.
-I'll tell you what...
78
00:06:00,168 --> 00:06:02,737
I got a car and nothing
to do for a while...
79
00:06:02,797 --> 00:06:05,478
Let's go see Anderson together.
Any objections?
80
00:06:07,616 --> 00:06:09,016
No objections.
81
00:06:09,076 --> 00:06:11,256
Stick around, Kelly may still show.
82
00:06:11,452 --> 00:06:12,506
Let's go.
83
00:06:35,122 --> 00:06:37,667
'Honorable discharge of Edward Rice.'
84
00:06:41,972 --> 00:06:43,568
What's the gimmick?
85
00:06:44,110 --> 00:06:46,399
If you'd put away your blackjacks
long enough
86
00:06:46,459 --> 00:06:48,431
maybe I could get it through
your heads that...
87
00:06:48,491 --> 00:06:50,714
I don't know what you're talking about.
88
00:06:50,774 --> 00:06:52,912
You got yourself a sense
of humor, Eddie.
89
00:06:52,972 --> 00:06:56,010
You think you come back here with
a dumb look and a Silver Star...
90
00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:58,958
That changes a no good heel?
-But, I'm trying to tell you that...
91
00:06:59,018 --> 00:07:01,382
You don't have to tell us
anything about yourself.
92
00:07:01,442 --> 00:07:03,881
We got it all down in black and white.
93
00:07:06,019 --> 00:07:07,630
Read it, Riccardi.
94
00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:09,313
We didn't dream it up.
95
00:07:09,795 --> 00:07:12,355
Possession of a weapon
with intent to kill.
96
00:07:12,882 --> 00:07:14,553
Suspicion of murder.
97
00:07:17,184 --> 00:07:18,566
<i>Riccardi...</i>
98
00:07:19,274 --> 00:07:20,960
<i>Eddie Riccardi.</i>
99
00:07:21,638 --> 00:07:25,236
<i>That's not me, it can't be.
It only looks like me!</i>
100
00:07:26,348 --> 00:07:29,103
<i>I better get out of here!
I've got to get out!</i>
101
00:07:29,163 --> 00:07:33,093
Five years ago we hustled you out of town,
for good. Now what are you here for?
102
00:07:34,253 --> 00:07:35,939
<i>You've got to play ball.</i>
103
00:07:35,999 --> 00:07:39,153
<i>You need time. You need more
time to find out about yourself.</i>
104
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,894
Riccardi's just playing dumb, Captain.
105
00:07:42,556 --> 00:07:44,122
Put him in the lockup.
106
00:07:44,498 --> 00:07:47,085
I'm finding about these...
discharge papers.
107
00:07:47,145 --> 00:07:49,358
If they're phonies, we'll pin a
real one on him.
108
00:07:49,418 --> 00:07:50,999
Just a minute, Lieutenant.
109
00:07:52,426 --> 00:07:56,627
I guess, maybe I didn't want the army
to know about Eddie...Riccardi.
110
00:07:57,317 --> 00:08:00,133
The only friends I have
know me as Eddie Rice.
111
00:08:00,916 --> 00:08:02,813
I'd like to keep it that way.
112
00:08:03,219 --> 00:08:05,945
That's probably the first honest
thing you've ever said.
113
00:08:06,005 --> 00:08:07,537
Pick up your things.
114
00:08:10,967 --> 00:08:14,008
Be Eddie Rice in some other
town, but not here.
115
00:08:14,068 --> 00:08:18,540
Now, we can't hold you, but...you step
out of line once and we step on you.
116
00:08:26,034 --> 00:08:28,278
Notice anything different
about him, Williams?
117
00:08:28,338 --> 00:08:31,138
Nothing! If Riccardi stays in town
there's gonna be trouble.
118
00:08:31,198 --> 00:08:34,210
I don't know. He had a strange
look about him.
119
00:08:34,667 --> 00:08:37,934
Send to Washington for a complete
report on Edward Rice.
120
00:08:37,994 --> 00:08:40,870
That Silver Star, you really
do something to get one.
121
00:08:40,930 --> 00:08:43,686
Yeah, buy it in a pawn
shop for two bits.
122
00:09:01,270 --> 00:09:04,944
Nina, my sweet!
My beautiful, lovely...
123
00:09:05,004 --> 00:09:07,609
All right, Nick! Let's keep
it all business.
124
00:09:10,063 --> 00:09:13,240
Who is it this time?
-Petey. Suspicion of robbery.
125
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:16,251
Get him out before they start
shifting him around. -Petey?
126
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:17,588
Him?
127
00:09:17,648 --> 00:09:19,726
He wouldn't steal his own shadow.
128
00:09:19,786 --> 00:09:22,056
That was William's gag to get
him out of the way.
129
00:09:22,116 --> 00:09:25,670
I wouldn't know. Bail's $1000.
-Inflation!
130
00:09:25,730 --> 00:09:27,823
That's the whole trouble these days.
131
00:09:28,847 --> 00:09:30,714
Alexander, he unhappy?
132
00:09:31,252 --> 00:09:34,188
Nick. Keep your mind on your business.
133
00:09:34,248 --> 00:09:36,233
Let Vince worry about his, huh?
134
00:09:36,293 --> 00:09:39,259
Sure, beautiful Sure.
Forget I mentioned it.
135
00:09:53,907 --> 00:09:55,970
Take my advice, you leave town.
136
00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:57,837
I've got things to do.
137
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,125
Adios, boy! You're on your own.
138
00:10:04,466 --> 00:10:05,941
Kelly never showed.
139
00:10:06,001 --> 00:10:07,071
Odd.
140
00:10:07,131 --> 00:10:08,606
We'll hear from him.
141
00:10:18,132 --> 00:10:20,074
One of the usual fronts?
142
00:10:21,098 --> 00:10:24,064
You have a lot of Jane Does, Nick.
Use one of them.
143
00:10:26,732 --> 00:10:28,328
Of course, there's a big difference
144
00:10:28,388 --> 00:10:30,617
between the Florida oranges
and the California oranges.
145
00:10:30,677 --> 00:10:33,131
At least that's what the Chamber
of Commerce in Florida says.
146
00:10:33,191 --> 00:10:35,661
And the Chamber of Commerce
in California says...
147
00:10:35,872 --> 00:10:37,874
Orange juice, please.
-Yes, ma'am.
148
00:10:41,153 --> 00:10:42,388
Eddie.
149
00:10:44,691 --> 00:10:47,281
I thought it was you from
across the street.
150
00:10:48,856 --> 00:10:49,940
Hello.
151
00:10:51,204 --> 00:10:53,794
Is that the only thing
you've got to say?
152
00:10:54,110 --> 00:10:56,640
Well, there's a lot more
I could say, but...
153
00:10:57,107 --> 00:10:58,311
but you...
154
00:10:59,299 --> 00:11:00,609
Let's see...
155
00:11:01,814 --> 00:11:03,425
Nacy Morgan?
156
00:11:03,711 --> 00:11:05,051
Nora Murphy?
157
00:11:05,292 --> 00:11:09,176
No, you don't look like Nora Murphy.
-What'd you come back for, Eddie?
158
00:11:10,216 --> 00:11:12,610
A man has a right to come
home, hasn't he?
159
00:11:14,552 --> 00:11:17,699
My car is across the street,
I'll take you there.
160
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:18,994
Sure!
161
00:11:19,175 --> 00:11:20,228
Thanks.
162
00:11:45,318 --> 00:11:47,089
Vince know you're back?
163
00:11:47,149 --> 00:11:48,360
Vince?
164
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,025
Should he?
165
00:11:51,762 --> 00:11:53,419
You oughta know.
166
00:12:02,797 --> 00:12:04,499
Thanks for the lift.
167
00:12:07,503 --> 00:12:08,828
Coming in?
168
00:12:09,264 --> 00:12:11,447
Who said this was the end of the road?
169
00:12:12,833 --> 00:12:15,091
Who's complaining? Not me.
170
00:12:40,205 --> 00:12:41,530
Checking in?
171
00:12:41,771 --> 00:12:42,870
Long?
172
00:12:44,466 --> 00:12:45,896
I don't know yet.
173
00:12:46,739 --> 00:12:48,019
Alone?
174
00:12:48,648 --> 00:12:49,672
Yes.
175
00:12:52,517 --> 00:12:55,393
Edward Rice...San Francisco.
176
00:12:58,702 --> 00:13:00,042
304.
177
00:13:03,234 --> 00:13:06,757
I'll throw the stuff in the room and
be right back. -If you say so.
178
00:13:29,744 --> 00:13:32,665
Hello? hello, this is Nina.
I want to talk to Vince.
179
00:13:32,725 --> 00:13:33,885
He's busy.
180
00:13:33,945 --> 00:13:36,203
Not too busy for what
I've got to tell him.
181
00:13:36,263 --> 00:13:37,479
<i>He's not here.</i>
182
00:13:37,539 --> 00:13:41,379
Look, let's not keep where he is a
secret it might upset your whole future.
183
00:13:41,439 --> 00:13:42,945
Put me through to him!
184
00:13:55,033 --> 00:13:56,719
You talk too much.
185
00:13:57,397 --> 00:13:59,189
Another treatment, Kelly?
186
00:14:00,453 --> 00:14:01,603
Any...
187
00:14:02,265 --> 00:14:04,750
Any second...breaks, Vince?
188
00:14:06,993 --> 00:14:09,176
I'm easy to do business with.
189
00:14:10,165 --> 00:14:11,520
If you talk...
190
00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:12,830
you live.
191
00:14:14,034 --> 00:14:16,865
All i want to hear is your
angle with Joe Williams.
192
00:14:19,271 --> 00:14:22,463
Give him a cigarette, Danny.
It'll relax him.
193
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:30,609
I'm...trusting you, Vince.
194
00:14:30,834 --> 00:14:32,792
Sure. Sure, Kelly.
195
00:14:33,474 --> 00:14:35,612
I told you we'd turn you loose.
196
00:14:35,672 --> 00:14:37,388
You understand how I...
197
00:14:37,569 --> 00:14:40,942
How a guy feels when he's been
kicked out of the organization?
198
00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:43,633
I know...
199
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:47,533
I shouldn't of been a sucker and
told Williams about the...
200
00:14:48,253 --> 00:14:50,828
...about the silver dollar.
-Forget that.
201
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,915
What did you tell him about this?
-Nothing!
202
00:14:56,455 --> 00:14:58,201
Nothing much, really.
203
00:14:59,044 --> 00:15:01,755
Vince!
-What did you tell him, Kelly?
204
00:15:01,815 --> 00:15:03,185
Really, Vince...
205
00:15:03,381 --> 00:15:04,931
Nothing important.
206
00:15:05,688 --> 00:15:06,757
Just...
207
00:15:07,178 --> 00:15:08,970
a little of this and...
208
00:15:09,527 --> 00:15:11,304
that about the...
209
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,532
about the slot machines and...
210
00:15:14,315 --> 00:15:16,333
and the take. But, I...
211
00:15:16,787 --> 00:15:18,564
I phonied the figures.
212
00:15:19,403 --> 00:15:22,550
Honest I did.
-These figures aren't phoney.
213
00:15:22,836 --> 00:15:24,447
Where'd you get 'em?
214
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,684
Snatched them out of your safe, Vince.
215
00:15:31,219 --> 00:15:33,192
Williams is waiting for 'em.
216
00:15:33,535 --> 00:15:37,359
He was going to bundle me out of town,
bring me back for the trial.
217
00:15:38,696 --> 00:15:42,083
But, I was gonna duck.
They never would of found me.
218
00:15:44,568 --> 00:15:46,480
That's the truth, Vince!
219
00:15:54,771 --> 00:15:56,021
Hello.
220
00:15:56,788 --> 00:15:58,264
Hello, Nina.
221
00:16:02,956 --> 00:16:05,242
You sure it's him?
-I was with him!
222
00:16:05,302 --> 00:16:08,524
First I saw him outside police
headquarters talking to Joe Williams,
223
00:16:08,584 --> 00:16:10,466
then I drove him to the Cortez.
224
00:16:10,689 --> 00:16:14,362
He cked in under the name
of Eddie Rice, room 304.
225
00:16:14,422 --> 00:16:15,552
Thanks.
226
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:37,164
You still want to take that trip, Kelly?
227
00:16:39,317 --> 00:16:41,560
You don't have to worry about me, Vince.
228
00:16:42,019 --> 00:16:43,028
Don.
229
00:16:44,194 --> 00:16:45,820
Big mouth Kelly.
230
00:16:46,257 --> 00:16:48,832
You think what he's got
may be contagious?
231
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:50,563
Very...catchy.
232
00:16:51,562 --> 00:16:54,648
What's your opinion, Don?
-Very, definitely.
233
00:16:56,621 --> 00:16:58,283
What can I do?
234
00:16:59,322 --> 00:17:01,686
The consultation's in agreement.
235
00:17:04,595 --> 00:17:05,769
Kelly!
236
00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:07,380
You're dead!
237
00:17:09,097 --> 00:17:10,527
Oh, and Kelly...
238
00:17:10,774 --> 00:17:14,749
When you get to where you're going,
have 'em give you a nice, even burn.
239
00:17:14,809 --> 00:17:17,579
Don't let them just fry you on one side.
240
00:18:01,054 --> 00:18:05,210
I'm sorry to bother you again, but..
has there been any sign of the girl yet?
241
00:18:07,876 --> 00:18:09,051
Thanks.
242
00:18:40,394 --> 00:18:42,743
Don't you believe in knocking on doors?
243
00:18:43,857 --> 00:18:45,814
Who are you? What do you want?
244
00:19:00,538 --> 00:19:02,661
So, that's where you've been hold up...
245
00:19:02,932 --> 00:19:04,498
Eddie Rice!
246
00:19:05,181 --> 00:19:08,990
No wonder I couldn't get a line on you.
Are you back sightseeing?
247
00:19:09,378 --> 00:19:10,854
Mr Rice?
248
00:19:13,052 --> 00:19:15,326
This supposed to be a free country?
249
00:19:15,684 --> 00:19:17,250
Free town?
250
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:18,951
Open to anyone?
251
00:19:19,011 --> 00:19:20,366
Not with me in it.
252
00:19:20,635 --> 00:19:23,240
You didn't waste much time
picking up with the cops.
253
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:27,395
Why should it worry you about
me talking to Williams?
254
00:19:27,455 --> 00:19:29,274
You've got me confused, Eddie.
255
00:19:29,771 --> 00:19:33,460
Only a sucker would walk back in
town after the deal you pulled.
256
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,979
Some things a fella has to...
257
00:19:37,401 --> 00:19:39,102
find out for himself.
258
00:19:40,096 --> 00:19:41,948
Not about you and me.
259
00:19:50,768 --> 00:19:53,283
I've been saving this for five years.
260
00:19:54,021 --> 00:19:57,378
Everyone in life has his bible,
this is mine.
261
00:19:58,978 --> 00:20:03,661
I take it out and read it every day. I read
it to remind me of a guy I grew up with.
262
00:20:03,917 --> 00:20:05,648
Got shoved around with.
263
00:20:06,277 --> 00:20:08,566
We used to take a lot of raps together.
264
00:20:09,439 --> 00:20:13,143
Some people would call a guy
like that a...a loyal friend.
265
00:20:13,968 --> 00:20:15,353
He was.
266
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:22,050
Until he turned into a dirty stool pigeon,
and let me take the rap for him!
267
00:20:38,866 --> 00:20:40,070
Eddie...
268
00:20:41,380 --> 00:20:42,811
Riccardi?
269
00:20:43,025 --> 00:20:47,105
My good friend who sold me out
to a cop named Joe Williams!
270
00:20:58,268 --> 00:21:00,541
Don't mess up his face too much.
271
00:21:03,876 --> 00:21:05,909
I ought to kill you, Eddie.
272
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:08,709
But, you're not worth taking
another rap for!
273
00:21:08,769 --> 00:21:11,058
In 24 hours...disappear!
274
00:21:11,935 --> 00:21:15,006
Otherwise, I might be tempted
to change my mind!
275
00:21:15,624 --> 00:21:17,205
Give him some air!
276
00:22:11,865 --> 00:22:14,153
<i>Why didn't the girl come back?</i>
277
00:22:15,523 --> 00:22:17,812
<i>What did she know about me?</i>
278
00:22:18,730 --> 00:22:20,808
<i>Why did she bring me here?</i>
279
00:22:21,847 --> 00:22:23,111
<i>Vince...</i>
280
00:22:24,060 --> 00:22:26,123
<i>Why didn't Vince kill me?</i>
281
00:22:27,402 --> 00:22:29,450
<i>Maybe I deserved it.</i>
282
00:22:30,625 --> 00:22:33,140
<i>Maybe Dr Kemble ought to know?</i>
283
00:22:34,224 --> 00:22:36,051
<i>I better tell him.</i>
284
00:22:37,226 --> 00:22:39,033
<i>I better call him.</i>
285
00:22:40,328 --> 00:22:41,908
<i>I better...</i>
286
00:22:44,659 --> 00:22:45,879
Hello.
287
00:22:46,391 --> 00:22:50,456
I want to put through a call, person
to person. Dr Kemble...
288
00:22:50,652 --> 00:22:53,392
Letterman Genral Hospital,
San Francisco.
289
00:22:54,435 --> 00:22:56,091
K-E-M-B-L-E
290
00:22:57,411 --> 00:22:58,736
Thank you.
291
00:23:14,170 --> 00:23:15,961
Hello, Dr Kemble?
292
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,812
When do you expect him back?
293
00:23:19,219 --> 00:23:20,920
Not till tomorrow?
294
00:23:22,121 --> 00:23:24,500
Never mind, I'll see him personally.
295
00:24:15,503 --> 00:24:18,780
Forget about Union Station.
Take me to 7 Braxton Avenue.
296
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:30,476
Wait for me.
297
00:24:51,762 --> 00:24:53,961
Thanks a lot Lou, for driving me home.
298
00:24:54,021 --> 00:24:57,393
Just a minute, darling.
I'll walk to the door with you.
299
00:24:58,990 --> 00:25:02,378
It's early, Nina. A little drink for
a nightcap won't hurt you.
300
00:25:02,589 --> 00:25:04,456
That's what you think.
301
00:25:04,516 --> 00:25:07,825
You could make me forget that
thousand I dropped tonight, Nina.
302
00:25:07,885 --> 00:25:11,182
I can forget a lot of things, Lou.
You, for instance.
303
00:25:11,242 --> 00:25:13,633
Good night.
-Just a minute, baby.
304
00:25:13,693 --> 00:25:16,328
I'd like a little receipt
for that grand.
305
00:25:19,246 --> 00:25:20,827
That's better.
306
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:25,539
That's your receipt. Good night.
307
00:25:45,117 --> 00:25:46,758
Now listen...
308
00:25:50,045 --> 00:25:51,461
Go ahead.
309
00:25:51,521 --> 00:25:53,237
Take a good look.
310
00:25:53,629 --> 00:25:58,055
If you came to tell me how Vince welcomed
you back, you've said it. So, goodbye!
311
00:25:58,673 --> 00:26:02,272
I want to know what you had
to do with me...in my life.
312
00:26:04,596 --> 00:26:06,057
And this.
313
00:26:10,473 --> 00:26:12,160
December the 24th,
314
00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:13,801
1943.
315
00:26:14,162 --> 00:26:16,120
Ah, that was a lovely Christmas.
316
00:26:16,903 --> 00:26:19,041
One I'll never forget.
317
00:26:24,136 --> 00:26:26,380
Only one of your presents!
318
00:26:29,297 --> 00:26:33,664
Sure, I told Vince Alexander
you're back. I work for him.
319
00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:39,946
This clipping...
320
00:26:40,955 --> 00:26:45,366
Why couldn't you testify at the trial?
-Oh, no routines, I've heard them all.
321
00:26:48,454 --> 00:26:51,436
Listen to me!
I'm just out of an army hospital
322
00:26:51,496 --> 00:26:54,507
with a piece of steel in my head
and no memory to go with it.
323
00:26:54,567 --> 00:26:57,756
I'm here to find out about myself and
I'm getting answers the hard way!
324
00:26:57,816 --> 00:27:00,677
I don't know you, Vince Alexander...
325
00:27:00,737 --> 00:27:05,055
or anybody called Eddie Riccardi!
All I know is one person, Eddie Rice! Me!
326
00:27:07,178 --> 00:27:09,391
You're the last person I can turn to.
327
00:27:10,472 --> 00:27:12,263
Please believe me.
328
00:27:12,850 --> 00:27:14,115
Help me.
329
00:27:16,584 --> 00:27:19,039
That's a very touching speech.
330
00:27:21,477 --> 00:27:23,901
You lost your memory.
331
00:27:24,564 --> 00:27:28,298
You don't know why I couldn't
testify at the trial.
332
00:27:28,529 --> 00:27:32,067
You've forgotten how you used me to
make sure Vince would go to prison
333
00:27:32,127 --> 00:27:33,829
so you'd be set free.
334
00:27:33,889 --> 00:27:37,966
But, if you're back to your old tricks
again I've got sad news for you,
335
00:27:38,026 --> 00:27:40,752
I tore up your raincheck
three years ago.
336
00:27:43,494 --> 00:27:45,587
I'm not your wife anymore.
337
00:28:05,380 --> 00:28:08,090
Now to the station?
-Back to the hotel.
338
00:28:47,065 --> 00:28:49,579
You act like a cop that just
lost a conviction?
339
00:28:49,639 --> 00:28:52,877
Maybe I have, take a look at these.
Fresh out of the photo lab.
340
00:28:54,339 --> 00:28:56,808
Sharks don't talk, the
fingerprints spell Kelly.
341
00:28:56,868 --> 00:28:59,413
The Coroner said he was dead two
hours before he hit the water.
342
00:28:59,473 --> 00:29:01,807
Too bad. With the information
Kelly had for us
343
00:29:01,867 --> 00:29:04,186
we could have put Vince
away for a long stretch.
344
00:29:05,335 --> 00:29:07,066
What's eating you, Joe?
345
00:29:07,563 --> 00:29:09,295
I was a smart cop.
346
00:29:09,355 --> 00:29:12,712
I put Petey away to get him off of
Kelly's tail, and this is what happens.
347
00:29:12,772 --> 00:29:14,594
I feel like I killed Kelly.
348
00:29:14,654 --> 00:29:16,897
Riccardi...think he's tied up in it?
349
00:29:16,957 --> 00:29:19,909
Walking back into town that day
could tie him up in anything.
350
00:29:20,237 --> 00:29:22,706
Is the case my baby?
-All yours.
351
00:29:24,916 --> 00:29:26,301
Now what?
352
00:29:26,361 --> 00:29:28,936
I figure we shouldn't keep
it a secret from Vince.
353
00:29:40,844 --> 00:29:43,087
Only six days in the week now, huh?
354
00:29:43,455 --> 00:29:46,557
How do you like that, the card
must have fell out.
355
00:29:46,617 --> 00:29:48,604
It was there yesterday. Nick...
356
00:29:48,664 --> 00:29:50,125
Who's Jane Doe?
357
00:29:50,185 --> 00:29:52,817
Please, Lieutenant. I don't look
at their birth certificate.
358
00:29:52,877 --> 00:29:55,075
Lots of people don't use
their right names.
359
00:29:55,135 --> 00:29:59,002
With me, a buck is a buck.
I don't ask questions.
360
00:29:59,318 --> 00:30:02,435
Before I'm through, Nick...
you'll be answering a few.
361
00:30:08,026 --> 00:30:12,377
It's gettin' so you can't tail a guy anymore
without having the cops jump on ya.
362
00:30:12,437 --> 00:30:14,666
This town's goin' to the dogs.
363
00:30:14,981 --> 00:30:18,143
Samson and me...
-Petey! Get that cat off the desk!
364
00:30:18,776 --> 00:30:22,133
I was just saying, Samson and
me could stand a vacation.
365
00:30:22,389 --> 00:30:25,340
You want us to blow town?
-That's just what I don't want.
366
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,047
Coke will set you up, and stay quiet!
367
00:30:28,107 --> 00:30:30,667
Well, sure Vince, sure.
Anything you say.
368
00:31:05,567 --> 00:31:06,922
Hello, Danny.
369
00:31:16,370 --> 00:31:18,327
Come in. Come in, Joe.
370
00:31:18,674 --> 00:31:22,543
Pull up a chair and rest your feet.
I hear you've had a busy day.
371
00:31:26,329 --> 00:31:29,099
I figured you would.
I was saving you for last.
372
00:31:30,183 --> 00:31:31,644
Should I...
373
00:31:31,930 --> 00:31:33,993
relax or call in my lawyer?
374
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:36,698
That depends on how nervous you are.
375
00:31:36,758 --> 00:31:39,529
I was always thought nervous
guys bit their nails?
376
00:31:39,589 --> 00:31:41,095
Now, let me see...
377
00:31:41,317 --> 00:31:44,675
Nick was a little bit hazy about
who Jane Doe was.
378
00:31:44,946 --> 00:31:47,144
I thought you might be able to tell me.
379
00:31:47,336 --> 00:31:49,113
Never heard of the girl.
380
00:31:49,173 --> 00:31:50,634
Then there's Petey.
381
00:31:50,694 --> 00:31:54,654
And how certain people got know where
and just when to bail him out.
382
00:31:54,714 --> 00:31:57,014
Now...nobody knows anything.
383
00:31:57,421 --> 00:31:58,912
But, we'll find him.
384
00:31:59,273 --> 00:32:01,863
We;ve got all exits out of town plugged.
385
00:32:03,697 --> 00:32:06,483
And I got a hunch he'll
be real cooperative.
386
00:32:06,769 --> 00:32:08,063
You see...
387
00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:10,698
I don't think he knows
anything about this.
388
00:32:11,090 --> 00:32:12,249
Kelly.
389
00:32:12,798 --> 00:32:15,162
He's gone and gotten himself killed.
390
00:32:15,915 --> 00:32:17,571
Just like Kelly...
391
00:32:17,842 --> 00:32:19,920
You never know what he'll do next.
392
00:32:20,191 --> 00:32:21,983
That goes for a lot of guys.
393
00:32:22,449 --> 00:32:23,910
Take you and...
394
00:32:24,482 --> 00:32:26,529
Then again, take Eddie Riccardi...
395
00:32:26,589 --> 00:32:29,962
You boys forgive and forget,
and back in business again.
396
00:32:31,037 --> 00:32:34,485
You and Riccardi got a lot in common,
why don't you ask him?
397
00:32:34,545 --> 00:32:36,352
At the moment, you're number one.
398
00:32:36,623 --> 00:32:40,281
And, it won't be any...manslaughter
charge and out in two years.
399
00:32:41,076 --> 00:32:43,048
I put you away this time...
400
00:32:43,334 --> 00:32:44,840
it'll be for keeps.
401
00:32:47,035 --> 00:32:50,031
You got all the answers figured
out, haven't you?
402
00:32:50,091 --> 00:32:52,636
I might have, sooner than you think.
403
00:32:53,959 --> 00:32:55,479
So sorry!
404
00:33:35,693 --> 00:33:39,292
Me, I never had a complaint.
You call my old boss.
405
00:33:39,352 --> 00:33:42,115
He'll tell you my bringing in 500
a night at the gambling tables
406
00:33:42,175 --> 00:33:44,344
was a small bag of tell.
407
00:33:45,169 --> 00:33:48,993
Oh, Mr Alexander! I just came in looking
for a job and I was telling Ms Martin...
408
00:33:49,053 --> 00:33:50,378
Get rid of her.
409
00:33:51,278 --> 00:33:55,238
Vince, we need some new talent...
-Okay! Okay! Come back at eight tonight.
410
00:33:55,298 --> 00:33:58,324
She'll tell you what to do.
-Oh, gee! Thanks!
411
00:34:01,806 --> 00:34:03,899
You know Eddie's still in town?
412
00:34:05,013 --> 00:34:06,172
Yes.
413
00:34:06,353 --> 00:34:08,024
Been around to see you?
414
00:34:09,667 --> 00:34:10,796
When?
415
00:34:11,534 --> 00:34:13,266
Late last night.
416
00:34:14,184 --> 00:34:16,548
Did he tell ya I gave him
24 hours to get out?
417
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,249
No.
418
00:34:19,872 --> 00:34:22,793
Well, I changed my mind.
I want him to stay.
419
00:34:23,049 --> 00:34:25,142
I want you to make sure he does stay.
420
00:34:26,876 --> 00:34:29,827
My job's to work the tables
for you here, Vince, and...
421
00:34:30,324 --> 00:34:34,961
I don't even mind setups like the one with
Petey or...other deals like that, but...
422
00:34:36,439 --> 00:34:37,613
Vince...
423
00:34:38,336 --> 00:34:40,534
Stay out of my personal life!
424
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:42,311
Listen you...
425
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,041
When Eddie dropped you, who picked
you up and gave you your health?
426
00:34:46,101 --> 00:34:49,053
Who gave you your job?
Everything you got?
427
00:34:49,459 --> 00:34:51,206
Vince Alexander!
428
00:34:52,806 --> 00:34:54,538
I won't do it, Vince.
429
00:34:54,598 --> 00:34:55,923
Forget Eddie.
430
00:34:55,983 --> 00:34:57,639
When I get through with him.
431
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,717
But, now you're gonna meet him.
432
00:35:00,715 --> 00:35:03,440
And, I want you to make sure
he does stay in town.
433
00:35:34,220 --> 00:35:35,566
What'll it be?
434
00:35:35,626 --> 00:35:37,854
Did five years make you
forget that easily?
435
00:35:37,914 --> 00:35:41,016
I told you...in five years you
can forget a lot of things.
436
00:35:41,076 --> 00:35:43,064
Something for the lady?
-Rob Roy, please.
437
00:35:43,124 --> 00:35:44,491
The same.
438
00:35:48,131 --> 00:35:50,932
What made you change your mind
about seeing me again?
439
00:35:54,897 --> 00:35:58,210
You know, finding out I was married
to you kind of threw me.
440
00:35:58,992 --> 00:36:02,169
It was even something the boys at
the hospital used to rib me about.
441
00:36:02,564 --> 00:36:05,605
They had me fixed up with a
wife and four or five kids.
442
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:09,881
They didn't know how close the
gag came to being true.
443
00:36:11,474 --> 00:36:13,672
You still don't believe me, do you?
444
00:36:21,056 --> 00:36:25,236
Maybe this'll convince you it was Eddie
Rice that rang your doorbell last night.
445
00:36:26,537 --> 00:36:29,909
Call Dr Kemble at Letterman's
Hospital in San Francisco.
446
00:36:31,007 --> 00:36:33,025
He'll tell you the whole story.
447
00:36:38,141 --> 00:36:39,767
Tha cigarette case...
448
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,323
Doesn't it mean anything to you?
449
00:36:47,468 --> 00:36:48,868
Should it?
450
00:36:54,926 --> 00:36:57,350
Suppose I did believe you, then what?
451
00:36:59,488 --> 00:37:03,569
Then, I'd try and make you forget that
Eddie Riccardi was ever in your life.
452
00:37:04,476 --> 00:37:06,403
You think you can do that?
453
00:37:07,216 --> 00:37:08,737
Eddie Rice can.
454
00:37:20,823 --> 00:37:22,570
Eddie, leave town.
455
00:37:24,533 --> 00:37:27,228
Now you're talking like Vince.
-Maybe I was yesterday.
456
00:37:27,288 --> 00:37:30,492
Don't ask me why, but go.
-Nina, I don't frighten easily.
457
00:37:30,552 --> 00:37:33,353
You can take that message back to Vince.
Tell him I'm staying!
458
00:37:33,413 --> 00:37:36,816
That's what he wants you to do. That's
why I'm here, to keep you from leaving.
459
00:37:36,876 --> 00:37:38,740
I'd hate to disappoint him then.
460
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,895
Eddie, don't be stubborn, I know Vince.
He doesn't do anything without a reason.
461
00:37:43,964 --> 00:37:45,530
Neither do I.
462
00:37:47,802 --> 00:37:52,590
Stay then! Get yourself beaten up again,
or killed. Do anything you want.
463
00:38:35,782 --> 00:38:38,267
Riccardi.
-Very interesting.
464
00:38:47,205 --> 00:38:48,936
Scotch over water.
465
00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:53,136
Lose something, Charlie?
466
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,406
Tell Nina Martin, Eddie wants to see her.
-Eddie who?
467
00:38:59,658 --> 00:39:01,103
Just Eddie.
468
00:39:01,630 --> 00:39:03,060
Wait here.
469
00:39:11,467 --> 00:39:12,943
What'll I need?
470
00:39:13,003 --> 00:39:15,653
A thousand might bring you luck.
-A thousand?
471
00:39:15,894 --> 00:39:17,475
Give me a thousand.
472
00:39:24,925 --> 00:39:27,891
A character called Eddie's outside,
wants to see you.
473
00:39:27,951 --> 00:39:29,412
Eddie here?
474
00:39:29,788 --> 00:39:31,204
Get rid of him!
475
00:39:31,425 --> 00:39:33,668
That's not what Vince had in mind.
476
00:39:43,422 --> 00:39:44,972
All right, come on.
477
00:39:53,097 --> 00:39:54,663
6...9...12!
478
00:39:54,919 --> 00:39:56,636
All bets down.
479
00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:04,549
It's a nice layout. Vince ought to be
able to pick up some fast money.
480
00:40:04,609 --> 00:40:07,063
You're crazy to come walking in here.
481
00:40:07,123 --> 00:40:09,273
Maybe I'm just hard to convince.
482
00:40:10,477 --> 00:40:12,374
My dressing room is back there.
483
00:40:13,925 --> 00:40:16,590
I'll be back before the
wheel stops turning.
484
00:40:34,853 --> 00:40:35,973
Yeah?
485
00:40:37,478 --> 00:40:38,939
Okay, thanks.
486
00:40:43,645 --> 00:40:45,813
So, she wanted to get rid of him.
487
00:40:47,179 --> 00:40:50,040
I wonder if that dame is trying
to pull a double cross.
488
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,129
Get down to the Golden Horn and pick up
Eddie Riccardi, you'll find him with Nina.
489
00:40:55,189 --> 00:40:56,270
Just him?
490
00:40:56,571 --> 00:40:57,746
Just him.
491
00:40:58,197 --> 00:41:00,110
I'll get around to her later.
492
00:41:03,747 --> 00:41:05,569
I started to leave...
493
00:41:05,794 --> 00:41:08,309
but I kept thinking about
everything you told me.
494
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,230
If I'd of left I'd been all the
things you said I was.
495
00:41:11,727 --> 00:41:13,232
So, I'm staying.
496
00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:17,505
And, I'm taking you out of here.
497
00:41:18,498 --> 00:41:19,673
Nina.
498
00:41:21,043 --> 00:41:23,436
We could have a decent life together.
499
00:41:26,553 --> 00:41:28,465
You got it all figured out.
500
00:41:31,452 --> 00:41:36,089
Well, you're not taking me anywhere.
You pushed me into this life and I like it.
501
00:41:36,481 --> 00:41:41,374
I'm top bait around here steering nice,
fat, pigeons to the gambling table.
502
00:41:41,434 --> 00:41:46,174
I'm one of Vince's kind now and I'm keeping
my life and my job just the way they are.
503
00:41:46,234 --> 00:41:48,026
No matter what I have to do!
504
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:49,934
Come on.
505
00:41:59,090 --> 00:42:00,144
Thanks.
506
00:42:10,804 --> 00:42:13,469
Now, how about some champagne?
507
00:42:14,389 --> 00:42:17,581
Excuse me for a minute, honey.
I forgot I got to call my wife.
508
00:42:32,729 --> 00:42:35,048
Williams, Homicide.
Yeah, Barnes.
509
00:42:36,509 --> 00:42:37,653
Yeah!
510
00:42:38,586 --> 00:42:39,881
Thanks a lot!
511
00:42:40,377 --> 00:42:41,898
What's exciting?
512
00:42:50,385 --> 00:42:54,646
I said, what's exciting? Or, don't
you want to wake me up?
513
00:42:55,138 --> 00:42:59,113
Barnes casing the Golden Horn for vice
intel, tells me Riccardi just walked in.
514
00:42:59,805 --> 00:43:01,266
Trouble maybe?
515
00:43:01,717 --> 00:43:04,924
I could think of plenty of reasons why
there might be for Eddie Rice.
516
00:43:05,478 --> 00:43:07,300
You'll hear from me later.
517
00:43:25,961 --> 00:43:28,189
How you coming with that
Kelly report, Ben?
518
00:43:28,249 --> 00:43:30,945
Just finishing up for you.
-Okay, I'll wait.
519
00:43:33,515 --> 00:43:36,586
Somebody must've believed in that
old gag about an apple a day.
520
00:43:36,646 --> 00:43:40,513
Yeah, but they didn't know it would pin
a murder on them. -Quite an appetite.
521
00:43:40,573 --> 00:43:43,253
Psychological, it creates
a false hunger.
522
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:50,156
Well, here you are, Joe.
I can go home now.
523
00:43:50,216 --> 00:43:53,454
Thanks a lot, Ben. See you tomorrow.
-Okay, see ya tomorrow.
524
00:44:06,875 --> 00:44:07,778
Yeah?
525
00:44:07,838 --> 00:44:10,970
I'm interested in Eddie Riccardi,
not in what's going on in there.
526
00:44:11,030 --> 00:44:13,680
We don't know from Riccardi.
-I do, open up.
527
00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:18,240
Place your bets, folks. Place your
bets. Bet high/low...odd or even.
528
00:44:38,711 --> 00:44:39,795
Yes?
529
00:44:39,990 --> 00:44:43,438
Miss Martin? Williams, Homicide.
May I come in please?
530
00:44:43,732 --> 00:44:44,982
Come in.
531
00:44:47,432 --> 00:44:50,820
Eddie was just picked up by Danny.
-Where'd he take him?
532
00:44:52,557 --> 00:44:54,424
You'll hear from me later.
533
00:45:14,826 --> 00:45:16,377
You know, Williams?
534
00:45:17,054 --> 00:45:19,524
I'm not used to cops with insomnia.
535
00:45:20,201 --> 00:45:22,791
What's on your mind?
-It won't take long.
536
00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:25,960
Danny picked up Eddie Riccardi.
Where are they?
537
00:45:27,537 --> 00:45:29,329
You're in an awful rut.
538
00:45:29,540 --> 00:45:31,497
Always asking questions.
539
00:45:31,557 --> 00:45:33,846
All right...let's start over.
540
00:45:34,581 --> 00:45:37,306
Eddie was at the Golden Horn
with Nina Martin.
541
00:45:37,366 --> 00:45:39,685
Suddenly, he wasn't there anymore.
542
00:45:40,208 --> 00:45:41,368
So...
543
00:45:41,578 --> 00:45:44,018
So...I don't mind waiting.
544
00:45:45,900 --> 00:45:48,053
While we kill a little time...
545
00:45:49,429 --> 00:45:51,176
This might interest you.
546
00:46:01,803 --> 00:46:05,733
And, after we pick up Riccardi...
we're going down to police headquarters.
547
00:46:06,034 --> 00:46:08,579
You're gonna have a manicure...on me.
548
00:46:10,294 --> 00:46:13,380
You know, you're gonna look awful
silly when I get through with you.
549
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,819
If I'm wrong...I'll apologize.
550
00:46:21,050 --> 00:46:23,264
Say hello, nothing more.
551
00:46:25,733 --> 00:46:26,862
Hello.
552
00:46:27,674 --> 00:46:31,408
Vince, we're at the shop. Do we
stay or bring Riccardi up there?
553
00:46:32,507 --> 00:46:34,238
Tell him you'll be down.
554
00:46:52,464 --> 00:46:53,699
Okay, Coke...
555
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,385
<i>Bring him up here.</i>
556
00:47:28,724 --> 00:47:30,530
What do you want now?
557
00:47:41,819 --> 00:47:44,605
Just when he was coming up
in the department.
558
00:49:14,591 --> 00:49:15,886
Car 9-4
559
00:49:15,946 --> 00:49:17,813
9-4 to Control-4.
560
00:49:17,873 --> 00:49:20,252
<i>Clear Frequency-4, this is an emergency.</i>
561
00:49:20,312 --> 00:49:23,126
Control-4 to 94, go ahead.
562
00:49:23,186 --> 00:49:25,099
<i>Car 94 to Control-4</i>
563
00:49:25,159 --> 00:49:29,209
<i>Notify the Homicide Bureau, we have found
the body of Lt Williams in his car.</i>
564
00:49:29,269 --> 00:49:31,133
At Sepulveda and Sunset.
565
00:50:17,423 --> 00:50:18,763
Give you a lift, son?
566
00:50:18,823 --> 00:50:21,485
Thanks, I had a little accident
back up a side road.
567
00:50:21,545 --> 00:50:24,556
I have to go to town, get a tow car.
-Anybody killed?
568
00:50:27,016 --> 00:50:29,561
No luck at all tonight.
Hop in.
569
00:50:39,349 --> 00:50:42,090
Bet you thought I wouldn't stop
to pick you up, didn't you?
570
00:50:42,150 --> 00:50:43,638
I didn't know.
571
00:50:43,698 --> 00:50:45,113
It's late.
-See...
572
00:50:45,173 --> 00:50:49,130
That's why I fooled you. Have me orders.
Pick up anybody, anytime.
573
00:50:49,747 --> 00:50:51,870
Green Acres Morticians policy.
574
00:50:52,094 --> 00:50:54,698
Live today...maybe a customer tomorrow.
575
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,400
Pays off too.
576
00:50:56,460 --> 00:50:59,848
Most people remember the nice things
you do for them while they're living.
577
00:50:59,908 --> 00:51:03,864
We sure don't get any complaints about our
service from them after they're dead.
578
00:51:03,924 --> 00:51:05,927
Their family, that is.
579
00:51:07,423 --> 00:51:09,441
That accident hurt you any?
580
00:51:10,992 --> 00:51:13,069
Got a match?
-Sure do.
581
00:51:19,645 --> 00:51:21,813
Police, ambulance and everything.
582
00:51:22,114 --> 00:51:24,312
I wonder if I'm losing any customers?
583
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:40,902
Finished with Joe's stuff yet?
-Still working on it.
584
00:51:43,326 --> 00:51:44,816
It's too bad...
585
00:51:45,434 --> 00:51:48,460
Joe's wife sure liked him
in that suit too.
586
00:52:13,311 --> 00:52:16,021
Any line on Riccardi yet?
-Nothing, Captain.
587
00:52:16,081 --> 00:52:19,710
Keep trying, he's the last one who
might of seen Joe. -Okay.
588
00:52:20,197 --> 00:52:21,718
Eddie Riccardi.
589
00:52:24,187 --> 00:52:26,445
Guess Williams was right after all.
590
00:52:26,701 --> 00:52:28,538
Riccardi or Rice.
591
00:52:28,826 --> 00:52:32,530
A Silver Star and a dumb look doesn't
change a no good heel.
592
00:52:33,147 --> 00:52:36,173
Attention all units!
Attention all units!
593
00:52:36,233 --> 00:52:40,175
Be on the lookout for the following
<i>described suspect, wanted for murder:</i>
594
00:52:40,551 --> 00:52:43,322
<i>Eddie Riccardi, alias Eddie Rice,</i>
595
00:52:43,589 --> 00:52:46,164
<i>White male, American,</i>
596
00:52:46,224 --> 00:52:49,341
<i>Age 33, 6 foot 2.</i>
597
00:52:49,729 --> 00:52:51,506
<i>190 lbs...</i>
598
00:52:51,957 --> 00:52:53,312
<i>Dark brown...</i>
599
00:52:53,659 --> 00:52:55,944
You phone the cops and do 'em a favor,
600
00:52:56,004 --> 00:53:00,024
where to find a dead cop and the guy
that did it, and what happens...
601
00:53:05,972 --> 00:53:08,035
The first stop is Nina Martin's.
602
00:53:08,276 --> 00:53:10,474
I want Eddie before the cops get him.
603
00:53:10,730 --> 00:53:12,913
Then they can have him for a present.
604
00:53:14,334 --> 00:53:15,915
And alive!
605
00:53:32,066 --> 00:53:33,843
Eddie!
-Shut up!
606
00:53:34,168 --> 00:53:36,065
Get those lights out!
607
00:53:37,285 --> 00:53:39,152
Eddie, what happened?
608
00:53:40,533 --> 00:53:43,951
You certainly did a neat job
of tying me into a murder.
609
00:53:44,011 --> 00:53:46,089
Joe Williams was killed tonight.
610
00:53:46,149 --> 00:53:47,901
You?
-I don't know.
611
00:53:47,961 --> 00:53:51,138
The last thing I remember was being slugged
over the head at Vince Alexander's.
612
00:53:51,198 --> 00:53:53,713
I know you think that...
-I haven't got time to think!
613
00:53:53,773 --> 00:53:57,811
All I want is a few bucks, your car and
you in my sight till I get out of here!
614
00:53:57,871 --> 00:53:59,874
Eddie, you've got to believe me!
615
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:01,335
Believe?
616
00:54:01,656 --> 00:54:03,508
Like you believed me?
617
00:54:03,885 --> 00:54:05,661
Give me the keys!
618
00:54:10,271 --> 00:54:14,017
Eddie! This is why I turned on you
tonight, to get you away from Vince.
619
00:54:14,077 --> 00:54:16,992
The keys are in the car, you go,
I'll try to stall them off.
620
00:54:17,224 --> 00:54:19,468
And get a bullet in the back of my head?
621
00:54:19,528 --> 00:54:22,404
Oh, Eddie! You've got to trust me,
it's your only chance.
622
00:54:24,815 --> 00:54:26,091
Quick!
623
00:54:26,444 --> 00:54:28,043
The garage.
624
00:55:25,770 --> 00:55:29,188
This is where you get out. -Go to the
police, Eddie. Before it's too late.
625
00:55:29,248 --> 00:55:32,400
With my fingerprints all over the
gun and all over Williams car?
626
00:55:32,460 --> 00:55:35,257
I wouldn't last long enough to walk
to the nearest police station.
627
00:55:35,317 --> 00:55:38,133
If I did what could I tell them?
Now out!
628
00:55:38,788 --> 00:55:41,737
You want me to go home and wait
for Vince to come back again?
629
00:55:41,797 --> 00:55:45,800
That's something Eddie Riccardo would
tell me to do, not Eddie Rice.
630
00:55:49,139 --> 00:55:50,606
All right.
631
00:56:06,538 --> 00:56:07,668
Stop.
632
00:56:11,312 --> 00:56:13,997
Keep your lights off and
the motor running.
633
00:56:57,233 --> 00:56:59,889
Well, now you've got a gun! What next?
634
00:57:01,213 --> 00:57:04,044
I didn't ask for any killings,
so I'm in the middle.
635
00:57:04,528 --> 00:57:07,711
But, I'm not going to be a clay
pigeon for Vince Alexander.
636
00:57:08,308 --> 00:57:10,513
You can't prove anything dead.
637
00:57:10,573 --> 00:57:14,597
That would make Vince very happy,
something I wouldn't want to let happen.
638
00:57:15,047 --> 00:57:18,758
Is there any place we could go, someone
you can trust to put us up for the night?
639
00:57:18,818 --> 00:57:20,299
I need time.
640
00:57:21,747 --> 00:57:23,404
Maybe there is.
641
00:57:23,464 --> 00:57:25,443
It's a long chance, but...
642
00:57:28,917 --> 00:57:31,763
You don't think you're going to
get away with this, do you?
643
00:57:32,276 --> 00:57:34,477
We're staying here till tomorrow.
644
00:57:42,766 --> 00:57:46,004
Stay away from that phone!
If it rings, let it keep ringing!
645
00:57:46,064 --> 00:57:48,953
Get rid of anybody who comes to
the door, I'll be right behind you
646
00:57:49,013 --> 00:57:50,845
in case you give the wrong answers.
647
00:57:55,517 --> 00:57:58,539
What about the girl's place?
-There and gone.
648
00:57:58,599 --> 00:58:02,705
Get a teletype out on her car immediately,
have it re-broadcast every half hour.
649
00:58:08,211 --> 00:58:10,661
I want roadblocks at all these points.
650
00:58:10,721 --> 00:58:12,705
I want the airport, the railroad station,
651
00:58:12,765 --> 00:58:15,536
all the bus terminals put
under a 24 surveillance.
652
00:58:15,596 --> 00:58:18,001
I want every hotel and
flophouse notified.
653
00:58:18,061 --> 00:58:20,818
They're in this town somewhere
and they're not getting out.
654
00:58:21,019 --> 00:58:22,354
One other thing...
655
00:58:22,414 --> 00:58:26,887
We picked up Riccardi's fingerprints on
that gun shop. He's got a gun now.
656
00:58:27,294 --> 00:58:29,421
Don't give him a chance to use it!
657
00:58:29,481 --> 00:58:31,284
All right, start moving.
658
00:58:31,344 --> 00:58:33,908
<i>The police tightened its dragnet
about the city today.</i>
659
00:58:33,968 --> 00:58:36,988
<i>Riccardi escaped just as the police
were ready to close in on him</i>
660
00:58:37,048 --> 00:58:39,197
<i>after they received an
anonymous phone call</i>
661
00:58:39,257 --> 00:58:42,292
<i>which led them to discover the murdered
body of one of their men today.</i>
662
00:58:42,352 --> 00:58:44,067
<i>Every available man...</i>
663
00:58:47,714 --> 00:58:49,958
We'll wait till it's dark
and get out of here.
664
00:58:50,018 --> 00:58:52,423
You couldn't arrange to
drop dead before then?
665
00:58:52,483 --> 00:58:55,606
Hazel, you've got to believe us.
Eddie didn't do it!
666
00:58:55,897 --> 00:58:57,936
He should still drop dead.
667
00:58:58,269 --> 00:58:59,604
Twice.
668
01:00:12,318 --> 01:00:13,477
Coke!
669
01:00:36,274 --> 01:00:38,401
Get me a couple of clean towels.
670
01:00:42,231 --> 01:00:43,771
It's pretty bad.
671
01:00:44,739 --> 01:00:49,052
I'll have you out of here in a minute,
we'll find a doctor. -Go to the police.
672
01:00:49,497 --> 01:00:51,448
Eddie, go to the police.
673
01:00:53,848 --> 01:00:55,961
Your car in the garage?
-Yes.
674
01:00:56,021 --> 01:00:58,704
Where are your keys?
-In my purse.
675
01:00:58,764 --> 01:01:00,288
Take care of her.
676
01:01:22,875 --> 01:01:23,843
Thanks.
677
01:01:23,903 --> 01:01:26,748
I'll have the doctor come right
in the moment he returns.
678
01:01:38,651 --> 01:01:40,602
Light me a cigarette.
679
01:02:02,498 --> 01:02:04,288
You're far away.
680
01:02:06,205 --> 01:02:07,614
How far?
681
01:02:09,418 --> 01:02:10,885
Five years.
682
01:02:11,545 --> 01:02:13,041
A lifetime.
683
01:02:14,259 --> 01:02:15,961
Beyond that, a blank.
684
01:02:17,162 --> 01:02:18,879
Me too, Eddie.
685
01:02:18,939 --> 01:02:21,270
Only, it's been a different
kind of a blank.
686
01:02:21,798 --> 01:02:24,453
It's being pushed back
to Eddie Riccardi.
687
01:02:24,937 --> 01:02:26,184
This.
688
01:02:26,811 --> 01:02:30,215
The whole past that keeps me
from being like other people.
689
01:02:30,992 --> 01:02:32,763
Now all that's left is
690
01:02:32,823 --> 01:02:36,460
wondering what it would be like if there
had only been an Eddie Rice.
691
01:02:38,540 --> 01:02:41,287
If I'd of just met you
for the first time.
692
01:02:43,087 --> 01:02:45,508
Eddie Rice can have that.
693
01:02:48,248 --> 01:02:50,610
Oh, you're...good, Eddie.
694
01:02:51,681 --> 01:02:53,368
You're good.
695
01:02:54,934 --> 01:02:57,622
You've taken away the hate in me.
696
01:02:58,176 --> 01:02:59,995
Destroyed it.
697
01:03:01,946 --> 01:03:03,912
You're...good, Eddie.
698
01:03:07,874 --> 01:03:10,573
When a baby wants to be born,
hours don't matter!
699
01:03:10,633 --> 01:03:12,554
7 poundsd 7ounces...a boy.
700
01:03:12,614 --> 01:03:14,549
Doctor, her shoulder...
701
01:03:29,779 --> 01:03:31,760
I can't treat gun wounds.
702
01:03:31,820 --> 01:03:34,679
She'll have to go to the police
emergency hospital.
703
01:03:34,739 --> 01:03:36,179
I don't think so.
704
01:03:36,239 --> 01:03:39,260
I'm sorry, but I've got to report
this to the police.
705
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:40,624
Doctor.
706
01:03:41,138 --> 01:03:43,191
That report to the police...
707
01:03:43,539 --> 01:03:44,918
It'll wait.
708
01:03:45,123 --> 01:03:47,368
If you want to pull that
trigger, go ahead.
709
01:03:49,535 --> 01:03:51,603
Police headquarters, please.
710
01:03:53,055 --> 01:03:56,092
Put that gun away! I said I was
going to call the police.
711
01:03:56,293 --> 01:03:57,775
Police headquarters?
712
01:03:57,980 --> 01:04:00,914
This is Dr Stacey, 93 Chestnut Street.
713
01:04:01,174 --> 01:04:03,492
Send an ambulance and a squad car.
714
01:04:09,003 --> 01:04:10,602
How bad is it?
715
01:04:14,534 --> 01:04:16,118
She'll be all right.
716
01:04:18,447 --> 01:04:20,262
You'd better leave.
717
01:04:27,035 --> 01:04:30,805
Eddie, I'm scared...I'm scared...
-Take it easy, you'll be all right.
718
01:04:30,865 --> 01:04:33,341
Not for me, for you.
-Listen...
719
01:04:33,531 --> 01:04:37,507
I'm leaving you for a little while.
I've got an idea, it might work.
720
01:04:37,567 --> 01:04:39,672
Something very important.
721
01:04:40,214 --> 01:04:44,395
You knew all about me. The people
I used to know, the places I went.
722
01:04:44,699 --> 01:04:46,855
Think for me, go back five years.
723
01:04:46,915 --> 01:04:51,110
Who was there? Just one person.
Give me the answers, quick!
724
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,289
What you say is my only chance,
the only chance I've got.
725
01:04:54,349 --> 01:04:58,231
The only one left is...Petey.
He can't be trusted with Vince.
726
01:04:58,291 --> 01:05:01,337
Where will I find him?
-Not him, he's... -Tell me!
727
01:05:01,759 --> 01:05:04,457
Two, three places on Main Street.
728
01:05:05,198 --> 01:05:07,034
Fourth and Main...
729
01:05:07,094 --> 01:05:10,091
And after Nina ran in front of him,
Coke never had a chance.
730
01:05:10,151 --> 01:05:11,748
That Eddie sure didn't miss.
731
01:05:11,808 --> 01:05:14,345
Coke took three, went right through
his breakfast, lunch and supper.
732
01:05:14,405 --> 01:05:16,575
Anybody come around, ask any questions?
733
01:05:16,635 --> 01:05:19,900
None I couldn't answer, Vince.
-Get back down and keep him company.
734
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,570
But...but, the police?
-That's exactly what I want!
735
01:05:22,630 --> 01:05:25,559
Tell him how Riccardi broke into your
apartment, found Coke there
736
01:05:25,619 --> 01:05:28,727
pulled his gun and fired. Now do
what I told you, just that!
737
01:05:29,035 --> 01:05:31,250
All right, Vince.
-Take her back!
738
01:05:35,048 --> 01:05:37,293
Eddie's got to find a doctor somewhere.
739
01:05:37,484 --> 01:05:39,581
And, if he does what I think, he'll...
740
01:05:39,772 --> 01:05:42,295
dump the girl...and start looking
for a hidewaway.
741
01:05:43,785 --> 01:05:44,973
Get going!
742
01:05:45,033 --> 01:05:48,039
Spread the news I got a personal
interest in Eddie Riccardi.
743
01:05:48,099 --> 01:05:50,870
I don't want anything to happen
to him...until I get there.
744
01:05:51,389 --> 01:05:53,443
Unless the cops get him first.
745
01:05:54,467 --> 01:05:57,841
You through with him, Doc?
-Yup. He was a fine specimen.
746
01:05:57,901 --> 01:06:00,041
Would have had a long life
if this hadn't happened.
747
01:06:00,101 --> 01:06:02,051
I'll send you my report in the morning.
748
01:06:05,694 --> 01:06:08,335
I'm sure you don't mind coming
downtown, Miss Downs?
749
01:06:08,395 --> 01:06:10,477
Well, I...
-I thought not.
750
01:06:12,659 --> 01:06:14,859
What'd you find?
-It was them all right.
751
01:06:14,919 --> 01:06:17,471
Riccardi left the doctor's office
about 30 minutes ago
752
01:06:17,531 --> 01:06:20,830
Notify Communications? -They're blanketing
the whole area. -The girl?
753
01:06:20,890 --> 01:06:25,608
County Jail Hospital. Still out, whether
she's playing it safe or just not talking.
754
01:06:25,668 --> 01:06:29,085
Keep Melon there, the minute she comes
out, I want to know. -Any ideas?
755
01:06:29,145 --> 01:06:31,970
Lots! We need Riccardi to
explain some of them.
756
01:06:32,157 --> 01:06:34,196
If he lives that long.
757
01:06:38,347 --> 01:06:41,120
Hello. I'm looking for Petey,
have you seen him?
758
01:06:42,691 --> 01:06:44,671
Do you know where to find him?
759
01:06:57,552 --> 01:07:00,780
<i>Nina said three or four places,
I must have hit twenty.</i>
760
01:07:01,245 --> 01:07:03,196
<i>And every answer the same.</i>
761
01:07:03,710 --> 01:07:04,810
<i>No.</i>
762
01:07:05,803 --> 01:07:08,605
<i>The shake of their head,
a frightened face.</i>
763
01:07:10,111 --> 01:07:14,043
<i>They knew where I could find what I was
looking for, but they wouldn't talk.</i>
764
01:07:14,483 --> 01:07:16,141
<i>They were scared.</i>
765
01:08:08,257 --> 01:08:11,660
But, Vince! Appreciate the fact
that at least I called you.
766
01:08:11,961 --> 01:08:14,015
I let him stay, it's another rap.
767
01:08:14,075 --> 01:08:17,623
Another rap, I get life! You've
got to appreciate that!
768
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,296
And I'd appreciate it if you'd
tell me where to find Petey.
769
01:08:24,044 --> 01:08:25,306
Right now!
770
01:08:25,366 --> 01:08:26,758
Sure, Eddie.
771
01:08:27,096 --> 01:08:28,152
Sure.
772
01:08:34,841 --> 01:08:36,822
Ocean Boulevard and 25th.
773
01:09:43,996 --> 01:09:46,490
Who's there? Who is it?
-Eddie.
774
01:09:47,355 --> 01:09:48,910
Eddie Riccardi.
775
01:09:49,277 --> 01:09:52,886
Oh, Eddie boy. Every cop in the
city is out gunning for you!
776
01:09:53,350 --> 01:09:55,403
Maybe you don't care if you live...
777
01:09:55,711 --> 01:09:57,604
I got a few more years left!
778
01:09:57,839 --> 01:09:59,526
Open the door, Petey.
779
01:10:00,083 --> 01:10:01,799
You're dead if you don't.
780
01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:04,769
All right, Eddie.
781
01:10:12,804 --> 01:10:15,914
You didn't think I'd leave you out
there in the cold, did you Eddie?
782
01:10:16,545 --> 01:10:20,550
Five years, no see! But, you sure got
a hot fire burning under you, huh?
783
01:10:21,019 --> 01:10:22,105
Yeah.
784
01:10:24,891 --> 01:10:26,900
You need a pal, a friend.
785
01:10:30,025 --> 01:10:32,240
Sure, I need a friend, Petey.
786
01:10:32,483 --> 01:10:36,263
Look, old friend... Will you...will
you put that mouthpiece away?
787
01:10:36,323 --> 01:10:39,153
Somehow I...I still believe they go off!
788
01:10:39,926 --> 01:10:42,669
And, Samson my cat, you remember my cat?
789
01:10:44,180 --> 01:10:46,439
He's not feeling too good again.
790
01:10:46,949 --> 01:10:49,545
You stay careful and
nothing will happen.
791
01:10:49,605 --> 01:10:53,110
Oh sure. Sure, Eddie. You're
talking to Petey, remember?
792
01:10:53,340 --> 01:10:55,746
Any objections to my moving in with you?
793
01:10:56,025 --> 01:10:58,416
I'll be gone, tomorrow or the next day.
794
01:10:58,476 --> 01:11:01,771
Oh, me? Turn away practically,
my own flesh and blood?
795
01:11:03,341 --> 01:11:04,822
Relax, Eddie.
796
01:11:08,491 --> 01:11:11,308
There you are, Eddie. Nothing's
too good for you.
797
01:11:12,355 --> 01:11:16,154
How about some food, Petey?
I haven't eaten all night.
798
01:11:16,536 --> 01:11:18,370
You haven't changed a bit.
799
01:11:18,590 --> 01:11:20,086
Always hungry!
800
01:11:20,146 --> 01:11:22,022
Still tied up with Vince?
801
01:11:24,002 --> 01:11:27,670
I do a little private eyeing on the side.
A job here, a job there.
802
01:11:28,007 --> 01:11:29,284
Nothing big.
803
01:11:31,150 --> 01:11:32,705
I'll telephone.
804
01:11:43,749 --> 01:11:47,358
Hello, friend? Petey! I got
a special customer.
805
01:11:47,828 --> 01:11:49,852
Yeah. Yeah, an old one.
806
01:11:50,881 --> 01:11:54,094
How about sending something over?
He's tired and hungry.
807
01:11:54,813 --> 01:11:56,778
A pot of coffee and a sandwich.
808
01:11:56,969 --> 01:11:58,011
Turkey.
809
01:11:58,266 --> 01:11:59,352
Tongue
810
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:01,684
Egg salad combination.
811
01:12:02,638 --> 01:12:04,442
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
812
01:12:05,543 --> 01:12:06,863
You got it.
813
01:12:12,752 --> 01:12:16,068
You see, Eddie? Everything's
just like old times.
814
01:12:16,655 --> 01:12:18,474
If you say so, Petey.
815
01:12:20,114 --> 01:12:21,948
I'm gettin' kinda sleepy.
816
01:12:22,271 --> 01:12:25,308
You just make yourself at home,
food will be along pretty soon.
817
01:12:25,368 --> 01:12:28,183
Vince has gotten to be a big
man the last five years.
818
01:12:28,675 --> 01:12:31,168
I'm really gettin' pretty tired, friend.
819
01:12:31,228 --> 01:12:33,457
Why don't you bring me
up to date, Petey?
820
01:12:33,517 --> 01:12:35,247
I'm really awful tired, friend!
821
01:12:35,307 --> 01:12:37,501
How long will it take Vince to get here?
822
01:12:37,971 --> 01:12:40,861
Eddie...Eddie, you...you embarrass me.
823
01:12:41,135 --> 01:12:43,834
I'll kill you if you don't give
it to me straight, Petey!
824
01:12:43,894 --> 01:12:47,047
Eddie...Eddie, don't talk like that.
Samson's sick!
825
01:12:47,543 --> 01:12:50,403
I'm telling you, Eddie!
-What are you telling me? How long?
826
01:12:50,463 --> 01:12:53,557
Five minutes? Ten? Fifteen minutes?
Twenty minutes?
827
01:12:54,096 --> 01:12:57,015
About...about fifteen minutes, Eddie.
828
01:12:57,323 --> 01:13:00,902
Vince puts you on the spot!
He's that way with all the boys!
829
01:13:01,162 --> 01:13:04,781
Blow Eddie! Take me with you.
You and me was always friends!
830
01:13:04,841 --> 01:13:08,273
You just stay in front of me and keep your
mouth shut and you won't get into trouble.
831
01:13:08,333 --> 01:13:11,265
Sure, Eddie! You got nothing
to worry about from me.
832
01:13:11,325 --> 01:13:14,361
Just stay my friend, Petey.
-Yeah, Eddie.
833
01:13:27,837 --> 01:13:29,935
You're retired, you can go home now.
834
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:32,601
Your friend want a ride?
-Not tonight.
835
01:13:34,995 --> 01:13:36,151
$2.80
836
01:13:36,711 --> 01:13:39,616
This will get you a thousand.
Come on, Petey.
837
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,005
Take care of Petey.
838
01:15:45,187 --> 01:15:46,434
Eddie!
839
01:15:46,625 --> 01:15:48,165
Let's get out of here!
840
01:15:49,661 --> 01:15:51,158
Go ahead, Petey.
841
01:15:51,610 --> 01:15:52,974
Thanks, Eddie.
842
01:15:54,148 --> 01:15:55,615
They're coming!
843
01:18:02,988 --> 01:18:04,191
Eddie.
844
01:18:04,792 --> 01:18:06,274
Can you hear me?
845
01:18:09,079 --> 01:18:10,898
We can make a break.
846
01:18:11,558 --> 01:18:13,319
Cover for each other.
847
01:18:14,096 --> 01:18:15,739
I got a place.
848
01:18:17,148 --> 01:18:18,820
You and me, Eddie.
849
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,342
We'll start up again.
850
01:18:22,914 --> 01:18:25,056
Just like old times.
851
01:18:30,072 --> 01:18:31,671
I got money, Eddie.
852
01:18:32,992 --> 01:18:34,327
Big money!
853
01:18:37,521 --> 01:18:39,355
Samson! Samson!
854
01:18:39,986 --> 01:18:41,159
Samson!
855
01:18:43,096 --> 01:18:44,841
Petey! Come back!
856
01:18:46,807 --> 01:18:47,908
Samson.
857
01:18:48,318 --> 01:18:50,446
Samson, baby. Samson.
858
01:19:47,773 --> 01:19:50,091
Riccardi! Alexander!
859
01:19:50,292 --> 01:19:53,813
We'll give you three minutes to come out.
We're gonna start counting.
860
01:19:54,135 --> 01:19:57,920
At the end of three minutes if you're
not out, we're coming to get you!
861
01:19:58,429 --> 01:20:00,600
This is your last chance, Eddie.
862
01:20:01,862 --> 01:20:04,121
There's just you and me left now.
863
01:20:04,181 --> 01:20:05,676
No deal, Vince.
864
01:20:06,455 --> 01:20:08,538
I know you killed Joe Williams.
865
01:20:08,978 --> 01:20:10,357
Okay...
866
01:20:11,516 --> 01:20:13,071
No deals.
867
01:21:51,795 --> 01:21:54,993
We want you, Riccardi..
Alive, Alexander!
868
01:21:55,595 --> 01:21:58,646
If you're in there and not wounded,
bring Riccardi out.
869
01:21:59,653 --> 01:22:03,761
You, Riccardi! If you're alone, come
out with your hands in the air!
870
01:22:06,712 --> 01:22:09,176
Here's when you and I part company.
871
01:22:09,396 --> 01:22:12,081
You're gonna get paid off in full.
872
01:22:41,345 --> 01:22:43,574
Thanks for bringing him out, Vince.
873
01:22:43,853 --> 01:22:47,169
Now, drop your gun.
I said drop your gun, Vince!
874
01:22:49,233 --> 01:22:51,932
Eddie will take what I
got first, Anderson!
875
01:22:54,015 --> 01:22:56,568
All police officers hold your fire!
876
01:22:57,552 --> 01:22:59,532
Don't be crazy, Alexander.
877
01:22:59,899 --> 01:23:02,774
There have been enough people killed.
Give yourself up.
878
01:23:02,834 --> 01:23:04,491
No bargains, Anderson!
879
01:23:04,551 --> 01:23:06,487
You want Riccardi alive...
880
01:23:06,547 --> 01:23:07,866
I want out!
881
01:23:07,926 --> 01:23:10,682
What guarantee have I got that
you won't kill Riccardi?
882
01:23:10,742 --> 01:23:13,250
You don't!
-Be sensible, Alexander.
883
01:23:13,979 --> 01:23:16,854
If we let you out now,
we'll get you later.
884
01:23:17,089 --> 01:23:19,040
You'll be dead before morning.
885
01:23:19,245 --> 01:23:21,930
You got 30 seconds to make
up your mind, Anderson!
886
01:23:22,688 --> 01:23:24,053
I go...
887
01:23:24,361 --> 01:23:26,415
or Riccardi gets it in the back!
888
01:23:29,595 --> 01:23:31,388
Sat down, Eddie! Don't move!
889
01:24:05,464 --> 01:24:06,711
Is he dead?
890
01:24:06,771 --> 01:24:09,234
He will be if we don't get
him to a hospital.
891
01:24:15,716 --> 01:24:19,090
That taxi driver must have really
gotten to you in a hurry.
892
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,980
He did, asking for a $1000 reward.
893
01:24:22,337 --> 01:24:26,826
And all the questions you want to ask...
I called Dr Kemble from San Francisco.
894
01:24:27,149 --> 01:24:31,242
We knew Vince killed Jow Williams,
we found his blood on Joe's clothing.
895
01:24:31,604 --> 01:24:34,435
It matched up with our
lab files, yours didn't.
896
01:24:34,740 --> 01:24:37,351
And, Hazel told us the truth about Coke.
897
01:24:37,747 --> 01:24:41,254
Now, just get well. We'll finish
our business later.
898
01:24:42,217 --> 01:24:43,391
Nina...
899
01:24:43,451 --> 01:24:45,782
She's fine...in the waiting room.
900
01:25:05,063 --> 01:25:08,173
You shouldn't kiss a guy like
that when he's sick in bed.
901
01:25:10,205 --> 01:25:14,254
Well, I've been waiting outside all the
time. They wouldn't tell me anything.
902
01:25:14,314 --> 01:25:15,970
I was afraid...
903
01:25:17,151 --> 01:25:18,647
It's all right.
904
01:25:19,674 --> 01:25:21,170
We'll go away.
905
01:25:21,230 --> 01:25:24,222
We'll find that...crazy world of yours.
906
01:25:25,698 --> 01:25:27,151
Sure.
907
01:25:30,408 --> 01:25:32,373
There's only one thing...
908
01:25:33,675 --> 01:25:35,494
You'll always be...
909
01:25:35,758 --> 01:25:37,298
Eddie Rice.
910
01:25:38,853 --> 01:25:40,540
For the rest of my life.
911
01:25:40,990 --> 01:25:43,059
I have the doc's word for him.
912
01:25:44,673 --> 01:25:46,110
Come here.
|
After sustaining a head wound in combat, decorated World War II veteran Eddie Rice (John Payne) is treated at a San Francisco military hospital for a permanent form of amnesia. This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.
Rice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely.

1
00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556
This is the Letterman General Hosiptal
at San Francisco, California.
2
00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219
For those outside these gates the
war is over, a thing of the past.
3
00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888
For those behind these gates there's a
grim, hard, bitter fight still going on.
4
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518
Take one case, the case
of Eddie Rice, age 33.
5
00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206
Enlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.
Holder of the Silver Star, but today...
6
00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026
A name and date number, a medical file.
For five years a chart on a hospital bed.
7
00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340
A victim of amnesia.
A mind with a blocked out past.
8
00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127
Where were you born, Eddie?
Who are your parents?
9
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912
Any brothers? Sisters?
10
00:01:54,277 --> 00:01:58,775
Where did you go to school?
What's your trade? Profession?
11
00:01:59,433 --> 00:02:01,748
Are you rich?
Poor?
12
00:02:02,051 --> 00:02:03,689
Got a girl?
13
00:02:03,915 --> 00:02:05,289
Married?
14
00:02:05,349 --> 00:02:06,869
I don't know.
15
00:02:07,378 --> 00:02:09,015
I don't know!
16
00:02:09,824 --> 00:02:11,537
I can't remember.
17
00:02:12,444 --> 00:02:14,571
I just can't remember, doctor.
18
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:30,922
You had me open. What did you quit for?
-We did the best we could, Eddie.
19
00:02:31,218 --> 00:02:33,439
It'll just have to stay there.
20
00:02:34,606 --> 00:02:38,483
Is that final?
-Unless you want your name on a headstone.
21
00:02:38,543 --> 00:02:43,592
That shrapnel's too deep in your brain.
Scar tissue has grown all around it.
22
00:02:43,652 --> 00:02:46,980
Believe me, we tried.
-Yeah, I guess you did.
23
00:02:48,391 --> 00:02:52,551
Where do I go from here?
-Eddie, there are two kinds of amnesia:
24
00:02:52,611 --> 00:02:54,895
psychological and organic.
25
00:02:55,178 --> 00:03:00,240
The psychological form is temporary, but
it can be cured through psychotherapy.
26
00:03:01,016 --> 00:03:03,876
Yours is organic, it's permanent.
27
00:03:04,347 --> 00:03:07,772
That piece of steel in your brain
has blocked out your memory.
28
00:03:07,832 --> 00:03:10,863
Which doesn't leave me much
of a future, does it?
29
00:03:10,923 --> 00:03:15,071
Of course it does, physically
you're normal and healthy.
30
00:03:15,131 --> 00:03:17,771
You've received the maximum
medical benefits
31
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:22,559
You've completed training courses that make
you fit to hold down a job and face life.
32
00:03:23,499 --> 00:03:26,540
With no address, no next
of kin, nothing.
33
00:03:27,489 --> 00:03:29,567
Enlisted from Los Angeles...
34
00:03:29,627 --> 00:03:32,397
Intelligence ran that down
for us, remember?
35
00:03:32,867 --> 00:03:35,818
Oh sure, there were a lot of
people named Rice there...
36
00:03:36,026 --> 00:03:37,682
but not this Eddie Rice.
37
00:03:37,742 --> 00:03:41,777
But, Army Intelligence didn't mow
Los Angeles lawns as a kid, Eddie.
38
00:03:41,837 --> 00:03:44,292
They didn't trade at the corner market.
39
00:03:44,352 --> 00:03:48,775
They didn't work with people in a factory,
in an office, as you might have done.
40
00:03:48,986 --> 00:03:50,136
Now...
41
00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:54,081
If you went down there...and ran
into somebody who knew you,
42
00:03:54,141 --> 00:03:55,918
just one person...
43
00:03:56,384 --> 00:03:57,694
Yes...
44
00:03:58,992 --> 00:04:01,702
If I ran into just one person
who knew me.
45
00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:03,689
One guy...
46
00:04:04,785 --> 00:04:07,149
Who would come up to me and say:
47
00:04:07,616 --> 00:04:08,775
"Eddie."
48
00:04:08,986 --> 00:04:10,491
"Eddie Rice."
49
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:12,253
"How have you been?"
50
00:04:12,581 --> 00:04:14,132
"Where have you been?"
51
00:04:14,192 --> 00:04:15,577
That's it, Eddie.
52
00:04:15,637 --> 00:04:18,766
And then, they'd tell me about
someone else I used to know.
53
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:21,626
And, I'd meet somebody else.
54
00:04:22,635 --> 00:04:24,141
And another...
55
00:04:25,342 --> 00:04:26,908
And another...
56
00:04:57,774 --> 00:05:00,996
<i>Sure, it scares you to go out into
a world you don't remember...</i>
57
00:05:01,484 --> 00:05:02,959
<i>but you're here now.</i>
58
00:05:03,742 --> 00:05:05,473
<i>It'll be a new life.</i>
59
00:05:05,805 --> 00:05:07,295
<i>A new start.</i>
60
00:05:08,231 --> 00:05:10,189
<i>Find yourself a place to live.</i>
61
00:05:10,957 --> 00:05:12,613
<i>Get yourself a job.</i>
62
00:05:13,290 --> 00:05:14,540
<i>Get going.</i>
63
00:05:15,353 --> 00:05:16,919
<i>Get going, Eddie!</i>
64
00:05:19,198 --> 00:05:20,357
Eddie!
65
00:05:20,417 --> 00:05:22,736
You know, it's a small world, Eddie.
66
00:05:22,796 --> 00:05:25,266
We came down here to pick
up a little of one thing,
67
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:28,650
and we ran into a little of another!
-A lot of us thought you were dead.
68
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:32,851
Yes, and...those that didn't hoped you
were. What are you doing in town?
69
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,642
I'm just in from San Francisco.
70
00:05:36,702 --> 00:05:40,060
I didn't ask you that.
-He asked you what you were doing in town.
71
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,354
I cam here to look up some...people.
72
00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:45,989
Funny, I...I had a feeling that was it.
73
00:05:46,049 --> 00:05:48,443
Anderson one of them?
-Anderson?
74
00:05:49,719 --> 00:05:50,698
Maybe.
75
00:05:50,758 --> 00:05:54,251
I think you're lying, Eddie. I don't think you
were gonna look up Anderson at all.
76
00:05:54,311 --> 00:05:57,458
Barrett, do you think he was gonna
look up Anderson? -No, Joe.
77
00:05:57,699 --> 00:06:00,108
Not Anderson.
-I'll tell you what...
78
00:06:00,168 --> 00:06:02,737
I got a car and nothing
to do for a while...
79
00:06:02,797 --> 00:06:05,478
Let's go see Anderson together.
Any objections?
80
00:06:07,616 --> 00:06:09,016
No objections.
81
00:06:09,076 --> 00:06:11,256
Stick around, Kelly may still show.
82
00:06:11,452 --> 00:06:12,506
Let's go.
83
00:06:35,122 --> 00:06:37,667
'Honorable discharge of Edward Rice.'
84
00:06:41,972 --> 00:06:43,568
What's the gimmick?
85
00:06:44,110 --> 00:06:46,399
If you'd put away your blackjacks
long enough
86
00:06:46,459 --> 00:06:48,431
maybe I could get it through
your heads that...
87
00:06:48,491 --> 00:06:50,714
I don't know what you're talking about.
88
00:06:50,774 --> 00:06:52,912
You got yourself a sense
of humor, Eddie.
89
00:06:52,972 --> 00:06:56,010
You think you come back here with
a dumb look and a Silver Star...
90
00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:58,958
That changes a no good heel?
-But, I'm trying to tell you that...
91
00:06:59,018 --> 00:07:01,382
You don't have to tell us
anything about yourself.
92
00:07:01,442 --> 00:07:03,881
We got it all down in black and white.
93
00:07:06,019 --> 00:07:07,630
Read it, Riccardi.
94
00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:09,313
We didn't dream it up.
95
00:07:09,795 --> 00:07:12,355
Possession of a weapon
with intent to kill.
96
00:07:12,882 --> 00:07:14,553
Suspicion of murder.
97
00:07:17,184 --> 00:07:18,566
<i>Riccardi...</i>
98
00:07:19,274 --> 00:07:20,960
<i>Eddie Riccardi.</i>
99
00:07:21,638 --> 00:07:25,236
<i>That's not me, it can't be.
It only looks like me!</i>
100
00:07:26,348 --> 00:07:29,103
<i>I better get out of here!
I've got to get out!</i>
101
00:07:29,163 --> 00:07:33,093
Five years ago we hustled you out of town,
for good. Now what are you here for?
102
00:07:34,253 --> 00:07:35,939
<i>You've got to play ball.</i>
103
00:07:35,999 --> 00:07:39,153
<i>You need time. You need more
time to find out about yourself.</i>
104
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,894
Riccardi's just playing dumb, Captain.
105
00:07:42,556 --> 00:07:44,122
Put him in the lockup.
106
00:07:44,498 --> 00:07:47,085
I'm finding about these...
discharge papers.
107
00:07:47,145 --> 00:07:49,358
If they're phonies, we'll pin a
real one on him.
108
00:07:49,418 --> 00:07:50,999
Just a minute, Lieutenant.
109
00:07:52,426 --> 00:07:56,627
I guess, maybe I didn't want the army
to know about Eddie...Riccardi.
110
00:07:57,317 --> 00:08:00,133
The only friends I have
know me as Eddie Rice.
111
00:08:00,916 --> 00:08:02,813
I'd like to keep it that way.
112
00:08:03,219 --> 00:08:05,945
That's probably the first honest
thing you've ever said.
113
00:08:06,005 --> 00:08:07,537
Pick up your things.
114
00:08:10,967 --> 00:08:14,008
Be Eddie Rice in some other
town, but not here.
115
00:08:14,068 --> 00:08:18,540
Now, we can't hold you, but...you step
out of line once and we step on you.
116
00:08:26,034 --> 00:08:28,278
Notice anything different
about him, Williams?
117
00:08:28,338 --> 00:08:31,138
Nothing! If Riccardi stays in town
there's gonna be trouble.
118
00:08:31,198 --> 00:08:34,210
I don't know. He had a strange
look about him.
119
00:08:34,667 --> 00:08:37,934
Send to Washington for a complete
report on Edward Rice.
120
00:08:37,994 --> 00:08:40,870
That Silver Star, you really
do something to get one.
121
00:08:40,930 --> 00:08:43,686
Yeah, buy it in a pawn
shop for two bits.
122
00:09:01,270 --> 00:09:04,944
Nina, my sweet!
My beautiful, lovely...
123
00:09:05,004 --> 00:09:07,609
All right, Nick! Let's keep
it all business.
124
00:09:10,063 --> 00:09:13,240
Who is it this time?
-Petey. Suspicion of robbery.
125
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:16,251
Get him out before they start
shifting him around. -Petey?
126
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:17,588
Him?
127
00:09:17,648 --> 00:09:19,726
He wouldn't steal his own shadow.
128
00:09:19,786 --> 00:09:22,056
That was William's gag to get
him out of the way.
129
00:09:22,116 --> 00:09:25,670
I wouldn't know. Bail's $1000.
-Inflation!
130
00:09:25,730 --> 00:09:27,823
That's the whole trouble these days.
131
00:09:28,847 --> 00:09:30,714
Alexander, he unhappy?
132
00:09:31,252 --> 00:09:34,188
Nick. Keep your mind on your business.
133
00:09:34,248 --> 00:09:36,233
Let Vince worry about his, huh?
134
00:09:36,293 --> 00:09:39,259
Sure, beautiful Sure.
Forget I mentioned it.
135
00:09:53,907 --> 00:09:55,970
Take my advice, you leave town.
136
00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:57,837
I've got things to do.
137
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,125
Adios, boy! You're on your own.
138
00:10:04,466 --> 00:10:05,941
Kelly never showed.
139
00:10:06,001 --> 00:10:07,071
Odd.
140
00:10:07,131 --> 00:10:08,606
We'll hear from him.
141
00:10:18,132 --> 00:10:20,074
One of the usual fronts?
142
00:10:21,098 --> 00:10:24,064
You have a lot of Jane Does, Nick.
Use one of them.
143
00:10:26,732 --> 00:10:28,328
Of course, there's a big difference
144
00:10:28,388 --> 00:10:30,617
between the Florida oranges
and the California oranges.
145
00:10:30,677 --> 00:10:33,131
At least that's what the Chamber
of Commerce in Florida says.
146
00:10:33,191 --> 00:10:35,661
And the Chamber of Commerce
in California says...
147
00:10:35,872 --> 00:10:37,874
Orange juice, please.
-Yes, ma'am.
148
00:10:41,153 --> 00:10:42,388
Eddie.
149
00:10:44,691 --> 00:10:47,281
I thought it was you from
across the street.
150
00:10:48,856 --> 00:10:49,940
Hello.
151
00:10:51,204 --> 00:10:53,794
Is that the only thing
you've got to say?
152
00:10:54,110 --> 00:10:56,640
Well, there's a lot more
I could say, but...
153
00:10:57,107 --> 00:10:58,311
but you...
154
00:10:59,299 --> 00:11:00,609
Let's see...
155
00:11:01,814 --> 00:11:03,425
Nacy Morgan?
156
00:11:03,711 --> 00:11:05,051
Nora Murphy?
157
00:11:05,292 --> 00:11:09,176
No, you don't look like Nora Murphy.
-What'd you come back for, Eddie?
158
00:11:10,216 --> 00:11:12,610
A man has a right to come
home, hasn't he?
159
00:11:14,552 --> 00:11:17,699
My car is across the street,
I'll take you there.
160
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:18,994
Sure!
161
00:11:19,175 --> 00:11:20,228
Thanks.
162
00:11:45,318 --> 00:11:47,089
Vince know you're back?
163
00:11:47,149 --> 00:11:48,360
Vince?
164
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,025
Should he?
165
00:11:51,762 --> 00:11:53,419
You oughta know.
166
00:12:02,797 --> 00:12:04,499
Thanks for the lift.
167
00:12:07,503 --> 00:12:08,828
Coming in?
168
00:12:09,264 --> 00:12:11,447
Who said this was the end of the road?
169
00:12:12,833 --> 00:12:15,091
Who's complaining? Not me.
170
00:12:40,205 --> 00:12:41,530
Checking in?
171
00:12:41,771 --> 00:12:42,870
Long?
172
00:12:44,466 --> 00:12:45,896
I don't know yet.
173
00:12:46,739 --> 00:12:48,019
Alone?
174
00:12:48,648 --> 00:12:49,672
Yes.
175
00:12:52,517 --> 00:12:55,393
Edward Rice...San Francisco.
176
00:12:58,702 --> 00:13:00,042
304.
177
00:13:03,234 --> 00:13:06,757
I'll throw the stuff in the room and
be right back. -If you say so.
178
00:13:29,744 --> 00:13:32,665
Hello? hello, this is Nina.
I want to talk to Vince.
179
00:13:32,725 --> 00:13:33,885
He's busy.
180
00:13:33,945 --> 00:13:36,203
Not too busy for what
I've got to tell him.
181
00:13:36,263 --> 00:13:37,479
<i>He's not here.</i>
182
00:13:37,539 --> 00:13:41,379
Look, let's not keep where he is a
secret it might upset your whole future.
183
00:13:41,439 --> 00:13:42,945
Put me through to him!
184
00:13:55,033 --> 00:13:56,719
You talk too much.
185
00:13:57,397 --> 00:13:59,189
Another treatment, Kelly?
186
00:14:00,453 --> 00:14:01,603
Any...
187
00:14:02,265 --> 00:14:04,750
Any second...breaks, Vince?
188
00:14:06,993 --> 00:14:09,176
I'm easy to do business with.
189
00:14:10,165 --> 00:14:11,520
If you talk...
190
00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:12,830
you live.
191
00:14:14,034 --> 00:14:16,865
All i want to hear is your
angle with Joe Williams.
192
00:14:19,271 --> 00:14:22,463
Give him a cigarette, Danny.
It'll relax him.
193
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:30,609
I'm...trusting you, Vince.
194
00:14:30,834 --> 00:14:32,792
Sure. Sure, Kelly.
195
00:14:33,474 --> 00:14:35,612
I told you we'd turn you loose.
196
00:14:35,672 --> 00:14:37,388
You understand how I...
197
00:14:37,569 --> 00:14:40,942
How a guy feels when he's been
kicked out of the organization?
198
00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:43,633
I know...
199
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:47,533
I shouldn't of been a sucker and
told Williams about the...
200
00:14:48,253 --> 00:14:50,828
...about the silver dollar.
-Forget that.
201
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,915
What did you tell him about this?
-Nothing!
202
00:14:56,455 --> 00:14:58,201
Nothing much, really.
203
00:14:59,044 --> 00:15:01,755
Vince!
-What did you tell him, Kelly?
204
00:15:01,815 --> 00:15:03,185
Really, Vince...
205
00:15:03,381 --> 00:15:04,931
Nothing important.
206
00:15:05,688 --> 00:15:06,757
Just...
207
00:15:07,178 --> 00:15:08,970
a little of this and...
208
00:15:09,527 --> 00:15:11,304
that about the...
209
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,532
about the slot machines and...
210
00:15:14,315 --> 00:15:16,333
and the take. But, I...
211
00:15:16,787 --> 00:15:18,564
I phonied the figures.
212
00:15:19,403 --> 00:15:22,550
Honest I did.
-These figures aren't phoney.
213
00:15:22,836 --> 00:15:24,447
Where'd you get 'em?
214
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,684
Snatched them out of your safe, Vince.
215
00:15:31,219 --> 00:15:33,192
Williams is waiting for 'em.
216
00:15:33,535 --> 00:15:37,359
He was going to bundle me out of town,
bring me back for the trial.
217
00:15:38,696 --> 00:15:42,083
But, I was gonna duck.
They never would of found me.
218
00:15:44,568 --> 00:15:46,480
That's the truth, Vince!
219
00:15:54,771 --> 00:15:56,021
Hello.
220
00:15:56,788 --> 00:15:58,264
Hello, Nina.
221
00:16:02,956 --> 00:16:05,242
You sure it's him?
-I was with him!
222
00:16:05,302 --> 00:16:08,524
First I saw him outside police
headquarters talking to Joe Williams,
223
00:16:08,584 --> 00:16:10,466
then I drove him to the Cortez.
224
00:16:10,689 --> 00:16:14,362
He cked in under the name
of Eddie Rice, room 304.
225
00:16:14,422 --> 00:16:15,552
Thanks.
226
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:37,164
You still want to take that trip, Kelly?
227
00:16:39,317 --> 00:16:41,560
You don't have to worry about me, Vince.
228
00:16:42,019 --> 00:16:43,028
Don.
229
00:16:44,194 --> 00:16:45,820
Big mouth Kelly.
230
00:16:46,257 --> 00:16:48,832
You think what he's got
may be contagious?
231
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:50,563
Very...catchy.
232
00:16:51,562 --> 00:16:54,648
What's your opinion, Don?
-Very, definitely.
233
00:16:56,621 --> 00:16:58,283
What can I do?
234
00:16:59,322 --> 00:17:01,686
The consultation's in agreement.
235
00:17:04,595 --> 00:17:05,769
Kelly!
236
00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:07,380
You're dead!
237
00:17:09,097 --> 00:17:10,527
Oh, and Kelly...
238
00:17:10,774 --> 00:17:14,749
When you get to where you're going,
have 'em give you a nice, even burn.
239
00:17:14,809 --> 00:17:17,579
Don't let them just fry you on one side.
240
00:18:01,054 --> 00:18:05,210
I'm sorry to bother you again, but..
has there been any sign of the girl yet?
241
00:18:07,876 --> 00:18:09,051
Thanks.
242
00:18:40,394 --> 00:18:42,743
Don't you believe in knocking on doors?
243
00:18:43,857 --> 00:18:45,814
Who are you? What do you want?
244
00:19:00,538 --> 00:19:02,661
So, that's where you've been hold up...
245
00:19:02,932 --> 00:19:04,498
Eddie Rice!
246
00:19:05,181 --> 00:19:08,990
No wonder I couldn't get a line on you.
Are you back sightseeing?
247
00:19:09,378 --> 00:19:10,854
Mr Rice?
248
00:19:13,052 --> 00:19:15,326
This supposed to be a free country?
249
00:19:15,684 --> 00:19:17,250
Free town?
250
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:18,951
Open to anyone?
251
00:19:19,011 --> 00:19:20,366
Not with me in it.
252
00:19:20,635 --> 00:19:23,240
You didn't waste much time
picking up with the cops.
253
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:27,395
Why should it worry you about
me talking to Williams?
254
00:19:27,455 --> 00:19:29,274
You've got me confused, Eddie.
255
00:19:29,771 --> 00:19:33,460
Only a sucker would walk back in
town after the deal you pulled.
256
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,979
Some things a fella has to...
257
00:19:37,401 --> 00:19:39,102
find out for himself.
258
00:19:40,096 --> 00:19:41,948
Not about you and me.
259
00:19:50,768 --> 00:19:53,283
I've been saving this for five years.
260
00:19:54,021 --> 00:19:57,378
Everyone in life has his bible,
this is mine.
261
00:19:58,978 --> 00:20:03,661
I take it out and read it every day. I read
it to remind me of a guy I grew up with.
262
00:20:03,917 --> 00:20:05,648
Got shoved around with.
263
00:20:06,277 --> 00:20:08,566
We used to take a lot of raps together.
264
00:20:09,439 --> 00:20:13,143
Some people would call a guy
like that a...a loyal friend.
265
00:20:13,968 --> 00:20:15,353
He was.
266
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:22,050
Until he turned into a dirty stool pigeon,
and let me take the rap for him!
267
00:20:38,866 --> 00:20:40,070
Eddie...
268
00:20:41,380 --> 00:20:42,811
Riccardi?
269
00:20:43,025 --> 00:20:47,105
My good friend who sold me out
to a cop named Joe Williams!
270
00:20:58,268 --> 00:21:00,541
Don't mess up his face too much.
271
00:21:03,876 --> 00:21:05,909
I ought to kill you, Eddie.
272
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:08,709
But, you're not worth taking
another rap for!
273
00:21:08,769 --> 00:21:11,058
In 24 hours...disappear!
274
00:21:11,935 --> 00:21:15,006
Otherwise, I might be tempted
to change my mind!
275
00:21:15,624 --> 00:21:17,205
Give him some air!
276
00:22:11,865 --> 00:22:14,153
<i>Why didn't the girl come back?</i>
277
00:22:15,523 --> 00:22:17,812
<i>What did she know about me?</i>
278
00:22:18,730 --> 00:22:20,808
<i>Why did she bring me here?</i>
279
00:22:21,847 --> 00:22:23,111
<i>Vince...</i>
280
00:22:24,060 --> 00:22:26,123
<i>Why didn't Vince kill me?</i>
281
00:22:27,402 --> 00:22:29,450
<i>Maybe I deserved it.</i>
282
00:22:30,625 --> 00:22:33,140
<i>Maybe Dr Kemble ought to know?</i>
283
00:22:34,224 --> 00:22:36,051
<i>I better tell him.</i>
284
00:22:37,226 --> 00:22:39,033
<i>I better call him.</i>
285
00:22:40,328 --> 00:22:41,908
<i>I better...</i>
286
00:22:44,659 --> 00:22:45,879
Hello.
287
00:22:46,391 --> 00:22:50,456
I want to put through a call, person
to person. Dr Kemble...
288
00:22:50,652 --> 00:22:53,392
Letterman Genral Hospital,
San Francisco.
289
00:22:54,435 --> 00:22:56,091
K-E-M-B-L-E
290
00:22:57,411 --> 00:22:58,736
Thank you.
291
00:23:14,170 --> 00:23:15,961
Hello, Dr Kemble?
292
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,812
When do you expect him back?
293
00:23:19,219 --> 00:23:20,920
Not till tomorrow?
294
00:23:22,121 --> 00:23:24,500
Never mind, I'll see him personally.
295
00:24:15,503 --> 00:24:18,780
Forget about Union Station.
Take me to 7 Braxton Avenue.
296
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:30,476
Wait for me.
297
00:24:51,762 --> 00:24:53,961
Thanks a lot Lou, for driving me home.
298
00:24:54,021 --> 00:24:57,393
Just a minute, darling.
I'll walk to the door with you.
299
00:24:58,990 --> 00:25:02,378
It's early, Nina. A little drink for
a nightcap won't hurt you.
300
00:25:02,589 --> 00:25:04,456
That's what you think.
301
00:25:04,516 --> 00:25:07,825
You could make me forget that
thousand I dropped tonight, Nina.
302
00:25:07,885 --> 00:25:11,182
I can forget a lot of things, Lou.
You, for instance.
303
00:25:11,242 --> 00:25:13,633
Good night.
-Just a minute, baby.
304
00:25:13,693 --> 00:25:16,328
I'd like a little receipt
for that grand.
305
00:25:19,246 --> 00:25:20,827
That's better.
306
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:25,539
That's your receipt. Good night.
307
00:25:45,117 --> 00:25:46,758
Now listen...
308
00:25:50,045 --> 00:25:51,461
Go ahead.
309
00:25:51,521 --> 00:25:53,237
Take a good look.
310
00:25:53,629 --> 00:25:58,055
If you came to tell me how Vince welcomed
you back, you've said it. So, goodbye!
311
00:25:58,673 --> 00:26:02,272
I want to know what you had
to do with me...in my life.
312
00:26:04,596 --> 00:26:06,057
And this.
313
00:26:10,473 --> 00:26:12,160
December the 24th,
314
00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:13,801
1943.
315
00:26:14,162 --> 00:26:16,120
Ah, that was a lovely Christmas.
316
00:26:16,903 --> 00:26:19,041
One I'll never forget.
317
00:26:24,136 --> 00:26:26,380
Only one of your presents!
318
00:26:29,297 --> 00:26:33,664
Sure, I told Vince Alexander
you're back. I work for him.
319
00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:39,946
This clipping...
320
00:26:40,955 --> 00:26:45,366
Why couldn't you testify at the trial?
-Oh, no routines, I've heard them all.
321
00:26:48,454 --> 00:26:51,436
Listen to me!
I'm just out of an army hospital
322
00:26:51,496 --> 00:26:54,507
with a piece of steel in my head
and no memory to go with it.
323
00:26:54,567 --> 00:26:57,756
I'm here to find out about myself and
I'm getting answers the hard way!
324
00:26:57,816 --> 00:27:00,677
I don't know you, Vince Alexander...
325
00:27:00,737 --> 00:27:05,055
or anybody called Eddie Riccardi!
All I know is one person, Eddie Rice! Me!
326
00:27:07,178 --> 00:27:09,391
You're the last person I can turn to.
327
00:27:10,472 --> 00:27:12,263
Please believe me.
328
00:27:12,850 --> 00:27:14,115
Help me.
329
00:27:16,584 --> 00:27:19,039
That's a very touching speech.
330
00:27:21,477 --> 00:27:23,901
You lost your memory.
331
00:27:24,564 --> 00:27:28,298
You don't know why I couldn't
testify at the trial.
332
00:27:28,529 --> 00:27:32,067
You've forgotten how you used me to
make sure Vince would go to prison
333
00:27:32,127 --> 00:27:33,829
so you'd be set free.
334
00:27:33,889 --> 00:27:37,966
But, if you're back to your old tricks
again I've got sad news for you,
335
00:27:38,026 --> 00:27:40,752
I tore up your raincheck
three years ago.
336
00:27:43,494 --> 00:27:45,587
I'm not your wife anymore.
337
00:28:05,380 --> 00:28:08,090
Now to the station?
-Back to the hotel.
338
00:28:47,065 --> 00:28:49,579
You act like a cop that just
lost a conviction?
339
00:28:49,639 --> 00:28:52,877
Maybe I have, take a look at these.
Fresh out of the photo lab.
340
00:28:54,339 --> 00:28:56,808
Sharks don't talk, the
fingerprints spell Kelly.
341
00:28:56,868 --> 00:28:59,413
The Coroner said he was dead two
hours before he hit the water.
342
00:28:59,473 --> 00:29:01,807
Too bad. With the information
Kelly had for us
343
00:29:01,867 --> 00:29:04,186
we could have put Vince
away for a long stretch.
344
00:29:05,335 --> 00:29:07,066
What's eating you, Joe?
345
00:29:07,563 --> 00:29:09,295
I was a smart cop.
346
00:29:09,355 --> 00:29:12,712
I put Petey away to get him off of
Kelly's tail, and this is what happens.
347
00:29:12,772 --> 00:29:14,594
I feel like I killed Kelly.
348
00:29:14,654 --> 00:29:16,897
Riccardi...think he's tied up in it?
349
00:29:16,957 --> 00:29:19,909
Walking back into town that day
could tie him up in anything.
350
00:29:20,237 --> 00:29:22,706
Is the case my baby?
-All yours.
351
00:29:24,916 --> 00:29:26,301
Now what?
352
00:29:26,361 --> 00:29:28,936
I figure we shouldn't keep
it a secret from Vince.
353
00:29:40,844 --> 00:29:43,087
Only six days in the week now, huh?
354
00:29:43,455 --> 00:29:46,557
How do you like that, the card
must have fell out.
355
00:29:46,617 --> 00:29:48,604
It was there yesterday. Nick...
356
00:29:48,664 --> 00:29:50,125
Who's Jane Doe?
357
00:29:50,185 --> 00:29:52,817
Please, Lieutenant. I don't look
at their birth certificate.
358
00:29:52,877 --> 00:29:55,075
Lots of people don't use
their right names.
359
00:29:55,135 --> 00:29:59,002
With me, a buck is a buck.
I don't ask questions.
360
00:29:59,318 --> 00:30:02,435
Before I'm through, Nick...
you'll be answering a few.
361
00:30:08,026 --> 00:30:12,377
It's gettin' so you can't tail a guy anymore
without having the cops jump on ya.
362
00:30:12,437 --> 00:30:14,666
This town's goin' to the dogs.
363
00:30:14,981 --> 00:30:18,143
Samson and me...
-Petey! Get that cat off the desk!
364
00:30:18,776 --> 00:30:22,133
I was just saying, Samson and
me could stand a vacation.
365
00:30:22,389 --> 00:30:25,340
You want us to blow town?
-That's just what I don't want.
366
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,047
Coke will set you up, and stay quiet!
367
00:30:28,107 --> 00:30:30,667
Well, sure Vince, sure.
Anything you say.
368
00:31:05,567 --> 00:31:06,922
Hello, Danny.
369
00:31:16,370 --> 00:31:18,327
Come in. Come in, Joe.
370
00:31:18,674 --> 00:31:22,543
Pull up a chair and rest your feet.
I hear you've had a busy day.
371
00:31:26,329 --> 00:31:29,099
I figured you would.
I was saving you for last.
372
00:31:30,183 --> 00:31:31,644
Should I...
373
00:31:31,930 --> 00:31:33,993
relax or call in my lawyer?
374
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:36,698
That depends on how nervous you are.
375
00:31:36,758 --> 00:31:39,529
I was always thought nervous
guys bit their nails?
376
00:31:39,589 --> 00:31:41,095
Now, let me see...
377
00:31:41,317 --> 00:31:44,675
Nick was a little bit hazy about
who Jane Doe was.
378
00:31:44,946 --> 00:31:47,144
I thought you might be able to tell me.
379
00:31:47,336 --> 00:31:49,113
Never heard of the girl.
380
00:31:49,173 --> 00:31:50,634
Then there's Petey.
381
00:31:50,694 --> 00:31:54,654
And how certain people got know where
and just when to bail him out.
382
00:31:54,714 --> 00:31:57,014
Now...nobody knows anything.
383
00:31:57,421 --> 00:31:58,912
But, we'll find him.
384
00:31:59,273 --> 00:32:01,863
We;ve got all exits out of town plugged.
385
00:32:03,697 --> 00:32:06,483
And I got a hunch he'll
be real cooperative.
386
00:32:06,769 --> 00:32:08,063
You see...
387
00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:10,698
I don't think he knows
anything about this.
388
00:32:11,090 --> 00:32:12,249
Kelly.
389
00:32:12,798 --> 00:32:15,162
He's gone and gotten himself killed.
390
00:32:15,915 --> 00:32:17,571
Just like Kelly...
391
00:32:17,842 --> 00:32:19,920
You never know what he'll do next.
392
00:32:20,191 --> 00:32:21,983
That goes for a lot of guys.
393
00:32:22,449 --> 00:32:23,910
Take you and...
394
00:32:24,482 --> 00:32:26,529
Then again, take Eddie Riccardi...
395
00:32:26,589 --> 00:32:29,962
You boys forgive and forget,
and back in business again.
396
00:32:31,037 --> 00:32:34,485
You and Riccardi got a lot in common,
why don't you ask him?
397
00:32:34,545 --> 00:32:36,352
At the moment, you're number one.
398
00:32:36,623 --> 00:32:40,281
And, it won't be any...manslaughter
charge and out in two years.
399
00:32:41,076 --> 00:32:43,048
I put you away this time...
400
00:32:43,334 --> 00:32:44,840
it'll be for keeps.
401
00:32:47,035 --> 00:32:50,031
You got all the answers figured
out, haven't you?
402
00:32:50,091 --> 00:32:52,636
I might have, sooner than you think.
403
00:32:53,959 --> 00:32:55,479
So sorry!
404
00:33:35,693 --> 00:33:39,292
Me, I never had a complaint.
You call my old boss.
405
00:33:39,352 --> 00:33:42,115
He'll tell you my bringing in 500
a night at the gambling tables
406
00:33:42,175 --> 00:33:44,344
was a small bag of tell.
407
00:33:45,169 --> 00:33:48,993
Oh, Mr Alexander! I just came in looking
for a job and I was telling Ms Martin...
408
00:33:49,053 --> 00:33:50,378
Get rid of her.
409
00:33:51,278 --> 00:33:55,238
Vince, we need some new talent...
-Okay! Okay! Come back at eight tonight.
410
00:33:55,298 --> 00:33:58,324
She'll tell you what to do.
-Oh, gee! Thanks!
411
00:34:01,806 --> 00:34:03,899
You know Eddie's still in town?
412
00:34:05,013 --> 00:34:06,172
Yes.
413
00:34:06,353 --> 00:34:08,024
Been around to see you?
414
00:34:09,667 --> 00:34:10,796
When?
415
00:34:11,534 --> 00:34:13,266
Late last night.
416
00:34:14,184 --> 00:34:16,548
Did he tell ya I gave him
24 hours to get out?
417
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,249
No.
418
00:34:19,872 --> 00:34:22,793
Well, I changed my mind.
I want him to stay.
419
00:34:23,049 --> 00:34:25,142
I want you to make sure he does stay.
420
00:34:26,876 --> 00:34:29,827
My job's to work the tables
for you here, Vince, and...
421
00:34:30,324 --> 00:34:34,961
I don't even mind setups like the one with
Petey or...other deals like that, but...
422
00:34:36,439 --> 00:34:37,613
Vince...
423
00:34:38,336 --> 00:34:40,534
Stay out of my personal life!
424
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:42,311
Listen you...
425
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,041
When Eddie dropped you, who picked
you up and gave you your health?
426
00:34:46,101 --> 00:34:49,053
Who gave you your job?
Everything you got?
427
00:34:49,459 --> 00:34:51,206
Vince Alexander!
428
00:34:52,806 --> 00:34:54,538
I won't do it, Vince.
429
00:34:54,598 --> 00:34:55,923
Forget Eddie.
430
00:34:55,983 --> 00:34:57,639
When I get through with him.
431
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,717
But, now you're gonna meet him.
432
00:35:00,715 --> 00:35:03,440
And, I want you to make sure
he does stay in town.
433
00:35:34,220 --> 00:35:35,566
What'll it be?
434
00:35:35,626 --> 00:35:37,854
Did five years make you
forget that easily?
435
00:35:37,914 --> 00:35:41,016
I told you...in five years you
can forget a lot of things.
436
00:35:41,076 --> 00:35:43,064
Something for the lady?
-Rob Roy, please.
437
00:35:43,124 --> 00:35:44,491
The same.
438
00:35:48,131 --> 00:35:50,932
What made you change your mind
about seeing me again?
439
00:35:54,897 --> 00:35:58,210
You know, finding out I was married
to you kind of threw me.
440
00:35:58,992 --> 00:36:02,169
It was even something the boys at
the hospital used to rib me about.
441
00:36:02,564 --> 00:36:05,605
They had me fixed up with a
wife and four or five kids.
442
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:09,881
They didn't know how close the
gag came to being true.
443
00:36:11,474 --> 00:36:13,672
You still don't believe me, do you?
444
00:36:21,056 --> 00:36:25,236
Maybe this'll convince you it was Eddie
Rice that rang your doorbell last night.
445
00:36:26,537 --> 00:36:29,909
Call Dr Kemble at Letterman's
Hospital in San Francisco.
446
00:36:31,007 --> 00:36:33,025
He'll tell you the whole story.
447
00:36:38,141 --> 00:36:39,767
Tha cigarette case...
448
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,323
Doesn't it mean anything to you?
449
00:36:47,468 --> 00:36:48,868
Should it?
450
00:36:54,926 --> 00:36:57,350
Suppose I did believe you, then what?
451
00:36:59,488 --> 00:37:03,569
Then, I'd try and make you forget that
Eddie Riccardi was ever in your life.
452
00:37:04,476 --> 00:37:06,403
You think you can do that?
453
00:37:07,216 --> 00:37:08,737
Eddie Rice can.
454
00:37:20,823 --> 00:37:22,570
Eddie, leave town.
455
00:37:24,533 --> 00:37:27,228
Now you're talking like Vince.
-Maybe I was yesterday.
456
00:37:27,288 --> 00:37:30,492
Don't ask me why, but go.
-Nina, I don't frighten easily.
457
00:37:30,552 --> 00:37:33,353
You can take that message back to Vince.
Tell him I'm staying!
458
00:37:33,413 --> 00:37:36,816
That's what he wants you to do. That's
why I'm here, to keep you from leaving.
459
00:37:36,876 --> 00:37:38,740
I'd hate to disappoint him then.
460
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,895
Eddie, don't be stubborn, I know Vince.
He doesn't do anything without a reason.
461
00:37:43,964 --> 00:37:45,530
Neither do I.
462
00:37:47,802 --> 00:37:52,590
Stay then! Get yourself beaten up again,
or killed. Do anything you want.
463
00:38:35,782 --> 00:38:38,267
Riccardi.
-Very interesting.
464
00:38:47,205 --> 00:38:48,936
Scotch over water.
465
00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:53,136
Lose something, Charlie?
466
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,406
Tell Nina Martin, Eddie wants to see her.
-Eddie who?
467
00:38:59,658 --> 00:39:01,103
Just Eddie.
468
00:39:01,630 --> 00:39:03,060
Wait here.
469
00:39:11,467 --> 00:39:12,943
What'll I need?
470
00:39:13,003 --> 00:39:15,653
A thousand might bring you luck.
-A thousand?
471
00:39:15,894 --> 00:39:17,475
Give me a thousand.
472
00:39:24,925 --> 00:39:27,891
A character called Eddie's outside,
wants to see you.
473
00:39:27,951 --> 00:39:29,412
Eddie here?
474
00:39:29,788 --> 00:39:31,204
Get rid of him!
475
00:39:31,425 --> 00:39:33,668
That's not what Vince had in mind.
476
00:39:43,422 --> 00:39:44,972
All right, come on.
477
00:39:53,097 --> 00:39:54,663
6...9...12!
478
00:39:54,919 --> 00:39:56,636
All bets down.
479
00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:04,549
It's a nice layout. Vince ought to be
able to pick up some fast money.
480
00:40:04,609 --> 00:40:07,063
You're crazy to come walking in here.
481
00:40:07,123 --> 00:40:09,273
Maybe I'm just hard to convince.
482
00:40:10,477 --> 00:40:12,374
My dressing room is back there.
483
00:40:13,925 --> 00:40:16,590
I'll be back before the
wheel stops turning.
484
00:40:34,853 --> 00:40:35,973
Yeah?
485
00:40:37,478 --> 00:40:38,939
Okay, thanks.
486
00:40:43,645 --> 00:40:45,813
So, she wanted to get rid of him.
487
00:40:47,179 --> 00:40:50,040
I wonder if that dame is trying
to pull a double cross.
488
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,129
Get down to the Golden Horn and pick up
Eddie Riccardi, you'll find him with Nina.
489
00:40:55,189 --> 00:40:56,270
Just him?
490
00:40:56,571 --> 00:40:57,746
Just him.
491
00:40:58,197 --> 00:41:00,110
I'll get around to her later.
492
00:41:03,747 --> 00:41:05,569
I started to leave...
493
00:41:05,794 --> 00:41:08,309
but I kept thinking about
everything you told me.
494
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,230
If I'd of left I'd been all the
things you said I was.
495
00:41:11,727 --> 00:41:13,232
So, I'm staying.
496
00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:17,505
And, I'm taking you out of here.
497
00:41:18,498 --> 00:41:19,673
Nina.
498
00:41:21,043 --> 00:41:23,436
We could have a decent life together.
499
00:41:26,553 --> 00:41:28,465
You got it all figured out.
500
00:41:31,452 --> 00:41:36,089
Well, you're not taking me anywhere.
You pushed me into this life and I like it.
501
00:41:36,481 --> 00:41:41,374
I'm top bait around here steering nice,
fat, pigeons to the gambling table.
502
00:41:41,434 --> 00:41:46,174
I'm one of Vince's kind now and I'm keeping
my life and my job just the way they are.
503
00:41:46,234 --> 00:41:48,026
No matter what I have to do!
504
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:49,934
Come on.
505
00:41:59,090 --> 00:42:00,144
Thanks.
506
00:42:10,804 --> 00:42:13,469
Now, how about some champagne?
507
00:42:14,389 --> 00:42:17,581
Excuse me for a minute, honey.
I forgot I got to call my wife.
508
00:42:32,729 --> 00:42:35,048
Williams, Homicide.
Yeah, Barnes.
509
00:42:36,509 --> 00:42:37,653
Yeah!
510
00:42:38,586 --> 00:42:39,881
Thanks a lot!
511
00:42:40,377 --> 00:42:41,898
What's exciting?
512
00:42:50,385 --> 00:42:54,646
I said, what's exciting? Or, don't
you want to wake me up?
513
00:42:55,138 --> 00:42:59,113
Barnes casing the Golden Horn for vice
intel, tells me Riccardi just walked in.
514
00:42:59,805 --> 00:43:01,266
Trouble maybe?
515
00:43:01,717 --> 00:43:04,924
I could think of plenty of reasons why
there might be for Eddie Rice.
516
00:43:05,478 --> 00:43:07,300
You'll hear from me later.
517
00:43:25,961 --> 00:43:28,189
How you coming with that
Kelly report, Ben?
518
00:43:28,249 --> 00:43:30,945
Just finishing up for you.
-Okay, I'll wait.
519
00:43:33,515 --> 00:43:36,586
Somebody must've believed in that
old gag about an apple a day.
520
00:43:36,646 --> 00:43:40,513
Yeah, but they didn't know it would pin
a murder on them. -Quite an appetite.
521
00:43:40,573 --> 00:43:43,253
Psychological, it creates
a false hunger.
522
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:50,156
Well, here you are, Joe.
I can go home now.
523
00:43:50,216 --> 00:43:53,454
Thanks a lot, Ben. See you tomorrow.
-Okay, see ya tomorrow.
524
00:44:06,875 --> 00:44:07,778
Yeah?
525
00:44:07,838 --> 00:44:10,970
I'm interested in Eddie Riccardi,
not in what's going on in there.
526
00:44:11,030 --> 00:44:13,680
We don't know from Riccardi.
-I do, open up.
527
00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:18,240
Place your bets, folks. Place your
bets. Bet high/low...odd or even.
528
00:44:38,711 --> 00:44:39,795
Yes?
529
00:44:39,990 --> 00:44:43,438
Miss Martin? Williams, Homicide.
May I come in please?
530
00:44:43,732 --> 00:44:44,982
Come in.
531
00:44:47,432 --> 00:44:50,820
Eddie was just picked up by Danny.
-Where'd he take him?
532
00:44:52,557 --> 00:44:54,424
You'll hear from me later.
533
00:45:14,826 --> 00:45:16,377
You know, Williams?
534
00:45:17,054 --> 00:45:19,524
I'm not used to cops with insomnia.
535
00:45:20,201 --> 00:45:22,791
What's on your mind?
-It won't take long.
536
00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:25,960
Danny picked up Eddie Riccardi.
Where are they?
537
00:45:27,537 --> 00:45:29,329
You're in an awful rut.
538
00:45:29,540 --> 00:45:31,497
Always asking questions.
539
00:45:31,557 --> 00:45:33,846
All right...let's start over.
540
00:45:34,581 --> 00:45:37,306
Eddie was at the Golden Horn
with Nina Martin.
541
00:45:37,366 --> 00:45:39,685
Suddenly, he wasn't there anymore.
542
00:45:40,208 --> 00:45:41,368
So...
543
00:45:41,578 --> 00:45:44,018
So...I don't mind waiting.
544
00:45:45,900 --> 00:45:48,053
While we kill a little time...
545
00:45:49,429 --> 00:45:51,176
This might interest you.
546
00:46:01,803 --> 00:46:05,733
And, after we pick up Riccardi...
we're going down to police headquarters.
547
00:46:06,034 --> 00:46:08,579
You're gonna have a manicure...on me.
548
00:46:10,294 --> 00:46:13,380
You know, you're gonna look awful
silly when I get through with you.
549
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,819
If I'm wrong...I'll apologize.
550
00:46:21,050 --> 00:46:23,264
Say hello, nothing more.
551
00:46:25,733 --> 00:46:26,862
Hello.
552
00:46:27,674 --> 00:46:31,408
Vince, we're at the shop. Do we
stay or bring Riccardi up there?
553
00:46:32,507 --> 00:46:34,238
Tell him you'll be down.
554
00:46:52,464 --> 00:46:53,699
Okay, Coke...
555
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,385
<i>Bring him up here.</i>
556
00:47:28,724 --> 00:47:30,530
What do you want now?
557
00:47:41,819 --> 00:47:44,605
Just when he was coming up
in the department.
558
00:49:14,591 --> 00:49:15,886
Car 9-4
559
00:49:15,946 --> 00:49:17,813
9-4 to Control-4.
560
00:49:17,873 --> 00:49:20,252
<i>Clear Frequency-4, this is an emergency.</i>
561
00:49:20,312 --> 00:49:23,126
Control-4 to 94, go ahead.
562
00:49:23,186 --> 00:49:25,099
<i>Car 94 to Control-4</i>
563
00:49:25,159 --> 00:49:29,209
<i>Notify the Homicide Bureau, we have found
the body of Lt Williams in his car.</i>
564
00:49:29,269 --> 00:49:31,133
At Sepulveda and Sunset.
565
00:50:17,423 --> 00:50:18,763
Give you a lift, son?
566
00:50:18,823 --> 00:50:21,485
Thanks, I had a little accident
back up a side road.
567
00:50:21,545 --> 00:50:24,556
I have to go to town, get a tow car.
-Anybody killed?
568
00:50:27,016 --> 00:50:29,561
No luck at all tonight.
Hop in.
569
00:50:39,349 --> 00:50:42,090
Bet you thought I wouldn't stop
to pick you up, didn't you?
570
00:50:42,150 --> 00:50:43,638
I didn't know.
571
00:50:43,698 --> 00:50:45,113
It's late.
-See...
572
00:50:45,173 --> 00:50:49,130
That's why I fooled you. Have me orders.
Pick up anybody, anytime.
573
00:50:49,747 --> 00:50:51,870
Green Acres Morticians policy.
574
00:50:52,094 --> 00:50:54,698
Live today...maybe a customer tomorrow.
575
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,400
Pays off too.
576
00:50:56,460 --> 00:50:59,848
Most people remember the nice things
you do for them while they're living.
577
00:50:59,908 --> 00:51:03,864
We sure don't get any complaints about our
service from them after they're dead.
578
00:51:03,924 --> 00:51:05,927
Their family, that is.
579
00:51:07,423 --> 00:51:09,441
That accident hurt you any?
580
00:51:10,992 --> 00:51:13,069
Got a match?
-Sure do.
581
00:51:19,645 --> 00:51:21,813
Police, ambulance and everything.
582
00:51:22,114 --> 00:51:24,312
I wonder if I'm losing any customers?
583
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:40,902
Finished with Joe's stuff yet?
-Still working on it.
584
00:51:43,326 --> 00:51:44,816
It's too bad...
585
00:51:45,434 --> 00:51:48,460
Joe's wife sure liked him
in that suit too.
586
00:52:13,311 --> 00:52:16,021
Any line on Riccardi yet?
-Nothing, Captain.
587
00:52:16,081 --> 00:52:19,710
Keep trying, he's the last one who
might of seen Joe. -Okay.
588
00:52:20,197 --> 00:52:21,718
Eddie Riccardi.
589
00:52:24,187 --> 00:52:26,445
Guess Williams was right after all.
590
00:52:26,701 --> 00:52:28,538
Riccardi or Rice.
591
00:52:28,826 --> 00:52:32,530
A Silver Star and a dumb look doesn't
change a no good heel.
592
00:52:33,147 --> 00:52:36,173
Attention all units!
Attention all units!
593
00:52:36,233 --> 00:52:40,175
Be on the lookout for the following
<i>described suspect, wanted for murder:</i>
594
00:52:40,551 --> 00:52:43,322
<i>Eddie Riccardi, alias Eddie Rice,</i>
595
00:52:43,589 --> 00:52:46,164
<i>White male, American,</i>
596
00:52:46,224 --> 00:52:49,341
<i>Age 33, 6 foot 2.</i>
597
00:52:49,729 --> 00:52:51,506
<i>190 lbs...</i>
598
00:52:51,957 --> 00:52:53,312
<i>Dark brown...</i>
599
00:52:53,659 --> 00:52:55,944
You phone the cops and do 'em a favor,
600
00:52:56,004 --> 00:53:00,024
where to find a dead cop and the guy
that did it, and what happens...
601
00:53:05,972 --> 00:53:08,035
The first stop is Nina Martin's.
602
00:53:08,276 --> 00:53:10,474
I want Eddie before the cops get him.
603
00:53:10,730 --> 00:53:12,913
Then they can have him for a present.
604
00:53:14,334 --> 00:53:15,915
And alive!
605
00:53:32,066 --> 00:53:33,843
Eddie!
-Shut up!
606
00:53:34,168 --> 00:53:36,065
Get those lights out!
607
00:53:37,285 --> 00:53:39,152
Eddie, what happened?
608
00:53:40,533 --> 00:53:43,951
You certainly did a neat job
of tying me into a murder.
609
00:53:44,011 --> 00:53:46,089
Joe Williams was killed tonight.
610
00:53:46,149 --> 00:53:47,901
You?
-I don't know.
611
00:53:47,961 --> 00:53:51,138
The last thing I remember was being slugged
over the head at Vince Alexander's.
612
00:53:51,198 --> 00:53:53,713
I know you think that...
-I haven't got time to think!
613
00:53:53,773 --> 00:53:57,811
All I want is a few bucks, your car and
you in my sight till I get out of here!
614
00:53:57,871 --> 00:53:59,874
Eddie, you've got to believe me!
615
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:01,335
Believe?
616
00:54:01,656 --> 00:54:03,508
Like you believed me?
617
00:54:03,885 --> 00:54:05,661
Give me the keys!
618
00:54:10,271 --> 00:54:14,017
Eddie! This is why I turned on you
tonight, to get you away from Vince.
619
00:54:14,077 --> 00:54:16,992
The keys are in the car, you go,
I'll try to stall them off.
620
00:54:17,224 --> 00:54:19,468
And get a bullet in the back of my head?
621
00:54:19,528 --> 00:54:22,404
Oh, Eddie! You've got to trust me,
it's your only chance.
622
00:54:24,815 --> 00:54:26,091
Quick!
623
00:54:26,444 --> 00:54:28,043
The garage.
624
00:55:25,770 --> 00:55:29,188
This is where you get out. -Go to the
police, Eddie. Before it's too late.
625
00:55:29,248 --> 00:55:32,400
With my fingerprints all over the
gun and all over Williams car?
626
00:55:32,460 --> 00:55:35,257
I wouldn't last long enough to walk
to the nearest police station.
627
00:55:35,317 --> 00:55:38,133
If I did what could I tell them?
Now out!
628
00:55:38,788 --> 00:55:41,737
You want me to go home and wait
for Vince to come back again?
629
00:55:41,797 --> 00:55:45,800
That's something Eddie Riccardo would
tell me to do, not Eddie Rice.
630
00:55:49,139 --> 00:55:50,606
All right.
631
00:56:06,538 --> 00:56:07,668
Stop.
632
00:56:11,312 --> 00:56:13,997
Keep your lights off and
the motor running.
633
00:56:57,233 --> 00:56:59,889
Well, now you've got a gun! What next?
634
00:57:01,213 --> 00:57:04,044
I didn't ask for any killings,
so I'm in the middle.
635
00:57:04,528 --> 00:57:07,711
But, I'm not going to be a clay
pigeon for Vince Alexander.
636
00:57:08,308 --> 00:57:10,513
You can't prove anything dead.
637
00:57:10,573 --> 00:57:14,597
That would make Vince very happy,
something I wouldn't want to let happen.
638
00:57:15,047 --> 00:57:18,758
Is there any place we could go, someone
you can trust to put us up for the night?
639
00:57:18,818 --> 00:57:20,299
I need time.
640
00:57:21,747 --> 00:57:23,404
Maybe there is.
641
00:57:23,464 --> 00:57:25,443
It's a long chance, but...
642
00:57:28,917 --> 00:57:31,763
You don't think you're going to
get away with this, do you?
643
00:57:32,276 --> 00:57:34,477
We're staying here till tomorrow.
644
00:57:42,766 --> 00:57:46,004
Stay away from that phone!
If it rings, let it keep ringing!
645
00:57:46,064 --> 00:57:48,953
Get rid of anybody who comes to
the door, I'll be right behind you
646
00:57:49,013 --> 00:57:50,845
in case you give the wrong answers.
647
00:57:55,517 --> 00:57:58,539
What about the girl's place?
-There and gone.
648
00:57:58,599 --> 00:58:02,705
Get a teletype out on her car immediately,
have it re-broadcast every half hour.
649
00:58:08,211 --> 00:58:10,661
I want roadblocks at all these points.
650
00:58:10,721 --> 00:58:12,705
I want the airport, the railroad station,
651
00:58:12,765 --> 00:58:15,536
all the bus terminals put
under a 24 surveillance.
652
00:58:15,596 --> 00:58:18,001
I want every hotel and
flophouse notified.
653
00:58:18,061 --> 00:58:20,818
They're in this town somewhere
and they're not getting out.
654
00:58:21,019 --> 00:58:22,354
One other thing...
655
00:58:22,414 --> 00:58:26,887
We picked up Riccardi's fingerprints on
that gun shop. He's got a gun now.
656
00:58:27,294 --> 00:58:29,421
Don't give him a chance to use it!
657
00:58:29,481 --> 00:58:31,284
All right, start moving.
658
00:58:31,344 --> 00:58:33,908
<i>The police tightened its dragnet
about the city today.</i>
659
00:58:33,968 --> 00:58:36,988
<i>Riccardi escaped just as the police
were ready to close in on him</i>
660
00:58:37,048 --> 00:58:39,197
<i>after they received an
anonymous phone call</i>
661
00:58:39,257 --> 00:58:42,292
<i>which led them to discover the murdered
body of one of their men today.</i>
662
00:58:42,352 --> 00:58:44,067
<i>Every available man...</i>
663
00:58:47,714 --> 00:58:49,958
We'll wait till it's dark
and get out of here.
664
00:58:50,018 --> 00:58:52,423
You couldn't arrange to
drop dead before then?
665
00:58:52,483 --> 00:58:55,606
Hazel, you've got to believe us.
Eddie didn't do it!
666
00:58:55,897 --> 00:58:57,936
He should still drop dead.
667
00:58:58,269 --> 00:58:59,604
Twice.
668
01:00:12,318 --> 01:00:13,477
Coke!
669
01:00:36,274 --> 01:00:38,401
Get me a couple of clean towels.
670
01:00:42,231 --> 01:00:43,771
It's pretty bad.
671
01:00:44,739 --> 01:00:49,052
I'll have you out of here in a minute,
we'll find a doctor. -Go to the police.
672
01:00:49,497 --> 01:00:51,448
Eddie, go to the police.
673
01:00:53,848 --> 01:00:55,961
Your car in the garage?
-Yes.
674
01:00:56,021 --> 01:00:58,704
Where are your keys?
-In my purse.
675
01:00:58,764 --> 01:01:00,288
Take care of her.
676
01:01:22,875 --> 01:01:23,843
Thanks.
677
01:01:23,903 --> 01:01:26,748
I'll have the doctor come right
in the moment he returns.
678
01:01:38,651 --> 01:01:40,602
Light me a cigarette.
679
01:02:02,498 --> 01:02:04,288
You're far away.
680
01:02:06,205 --> 01:02:07,614
How far?
681
01:02:09,418 --> 01:02:10,885
Five years.
682
01:02:11,545 --> 01:02:13,041
A lifetime.
683
01:02:14,259 --> 01:02:15,961
Beyond that, a blank.
684
01:02:17,162 --> 01:02:18,879
Me too, Eddie.
685
01:02:18,939 --> 01:02:21,270
Only, it's been a different
kind of a blank.
686
01:02:21,798 --> 01:02:24,453
It's being pushed back
to Eddie Riccardi.
687
01:02:24,937 --> 01:02:26,184
This.
688
01:02:26,811 --> 01:02:30,215
The whole past that keeps me
from being like other people.
689
01:02:30,992 --> 01:02:32,763
Now all that's left is
690
01:02:32,823 --> 01:02:36,460
wondering what it would be like if there
had only been an Eddie Rice.
691
01:02:38,540 --> 01:02:41,287
If I'd of just met you
for the first time.
692
01:02:43,087 --> 01:02:45,508
Eddie Rice can have that.
693
01:02:48,248 --> 01:02:50,610
Oh, you're...good, Eddie.
694
01:02:51,681 --> 01:02:53,368
You're good.
695
01:02:54,934 --> 01:02:57,622
You've taken away the hate in me.
696
01:02:58,176 --> 01:02:59,995
Destroyed it.
697
01:03:01,946 --> 01:03:03,912
You're...good, Eddie.
698
01:03:07,874 --> 01:03:10,573
When a baby wants to be born,
hours don't matter!
699
01:03:10,633 --> 01:03:12,554
7 poundsd 7ounces...a boy.
700
01:03:12,614 --> 01:03:14,549
Doctor, her shoulder...
701
01:03:29,779 --> 01:03:31,760
I can't treat gun wounds.
702
01:03:31,820 --> 01:03:34,679
She'll have to go to the police
emergency hospital.
703
01:03:34,739 --> 01:03:36,179
I don't think so.
704
01:03:36,239 --> 01:03:39,260
I'm sorry, but I've got to report
this to the police.
705
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:40,624
Doctor.
706
01:03:41,138 --> 01:03:43,191
That report to the police...
707
01:03:43,539 --> 01:03:44,918
It'll wait.
708
01:03:45,123 --> 01:03:47,368
If you want to pull that
trigger, go ahead.
709
01:03:49,535 --> 01:03:51,603
Police headquarters, please.
710
01:03:53,055 --> 01:03:56,092
Put that gun away! I said I was
going to call the police.
711
01:03:56,293 --> 01:03:57,775
Police headquarters?
712
01:03:57,980 --> 01:04:00,914
This is Dr Stacey, 93 Chestnut Street.
713
01:04:01,174 --> 01:04:03,492
Send an ambulance and a squad car.
714
01:04:09,003 --> 01:04:10,602
How bad is it?
715
01:04:14,534 --> 01:04:16,118
She'll be all right.
716
01:04:18,447 --> 01:04:20,262
You'd better leave.
717
01:04:27,035 --> 01:04:30,805
Eddie, I'm scared...I'm scared...
-Take it easy, you'll be all right.
718
01:04:30,865 --> 01:04:33,341
Not for me, for you.
-Listen...
719
01:04:33,531 --> 01:04:37,507
I'm leaving you for a little while.
I've got an idea, it might work.
720
01:04:37,567 --> 01:04:39,672
Something very important.
721
01:04:40,214 --> 01:04:44,395
You knew all about me. The people
I used to know, the places I went.
722
01:04:44,699 --> 01:04:46,855
Think for me, go back five years.
723
01:04:46,915 --> 01:04:51,110
Who was there? Just one person.
Give me the answers, quick!
724
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,289
What you say is my only chance,
the only chance I've got.
725
01:04:54,349 --> 01:04:58,231
The only one left is...Petey.
He can't be trusted with Vince.
726
01:04:58,291 --> 01:05:01,337
Where will I find him?
-Not him, he's... -Tell me!
727
01:05:01,759 --> 01:05:04,457
Two, three places on Main Street.
728
01:05:05,198 --> 01:05:07,034
Fourth and Main...
729
01:05:07,094 --> 01:05:10,091
And after Nina ran in front of him,
Coke never had a chance.
730
01:05:10,151 --> 01:05:11,748
That Eddie sure didn't miss.
731
01:05:11,808 --> 01:05:14,345
Coke took three, went right through
his breakfast, lunch and supper.
732
01:05:14,405 --> 01:05:16,575
Anybody come around, ask any questions?
733
01:05:16,635 --> 01:05:19,900
None I couldn't answer, Vince.
-Get back down and keep him company.
734
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,570
But...but, the police?
-That's exactly what I want!
735
01:05:22,630 --> 01:05:25,559
Tell him how Riccardi broke into your
apartment, found Coke there
736
01:05:25,619 --> 01:05:28,727
pulled his gun and fired. Now do
what I told you, just that!
737
01:05:29,035 --> 01:05:31,250
All right, Vince.
-Take her back!
738
01:05:35,048 --> 01:05:37,293
Eddie's got to find a doctor somewhere.
739
01:05:37,484 --> 01:05:39,581
And, if he does what I think, he'll...
740
01:05:39,772 --> 01:05:42,295
dump the girl...and start looking
for a hidewaway.
741
01:05:43,785 --> 01:05:44,973
Get going!
742
01:05:45,033 --> 01:05:48,039
Spread the news I got a personal
interest in Eddie Riccardi.
743
01:05:48,099 --> 01:05:50,870
I don't want anything to happen
to him...until I get there.
744
01:05:51,389 --> 01:05:53,443
Unless the cops get him first.
745
01:05:54,467 --> 01:05:57,841
You through with him, Doc?
-Yup. He was a fine specimen.
746
01:05:57,901 --> 01:06:00,041
Would have had a long life
if this hadn't happened.
747
01:06:00,101 --> 01:06:02,051
I'll send you my report in the morning.
748
01:06:05,694 --> 01:06:08,335
I'm sure you don't mind coming
downtown, Miss Downs?
749
01:06:08,395 --> 01:06:10,477
Well, I...
-I thought not.
750
01:06:12,659 --> 01:06:14,859
What'd you find?
-It was them all right.
751
01:06:14,919 --> 01:06:17,471
Riccardi left the doctor's office
about 30 minutes ago
752
01:06:17,531 --> 01:06:20,830
Notify Communications? -They're blanketing
the whole area. -The girl?
753
01:06:20,890 --> 01:06:25,608
County Jail Hospital. Still out, whether
she's playing it safe or just not talking.
754
01:06:25,668 --> 01:06:29,085
Keep Melon there, the minute she comes
out, I want to know. -Any ideas?
755
01:06:29,145 --> 01:06:31,970
Lots! We need Riccardi to
explain some of them.
756
01:06:32,157 --> 01:06:34,196
If he lives that long.
757
01:06:38,347 --> 01:06:41,120
Hello. I'm looking for Petey,
have you seen him?
758
01:06:42,691 --> 01:06:44,671
Do you know where to find him?
759
01:06:57,552 --> 01:07:00,780
<i>Nina said three or four places,
I must have hit twenty.</i>
760
01:07:01,245 --> 01:07:03,196
<i>And every answer the same.</i>
761
01:07:03,710 --> 01:07:04,810
<i>No.</i>
762
01:07:05,803 --> 01:07:08,605
<i>The shake of their head,
a frightened face.</i>
763
01:07:10,111 --> 01:07:14,043
<i>They knew where I could find what I was
looking for, but they wouldn't talk.</i>
764
01:07:14,483 --> 01:07:16,141
<i>They were scared.</i>
765
01:08:08,257 --> 01:08:11,660
But, Vince! Appreciate the fact
that at least I called you.
766
01:08:11,961 --> 01:08:14,015
I let him stay, it's another rap.
767
01:08:14,075 --> 01:08:17,623
Another rap, I get life! You've
got to appreciate that!
768
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,296
And I'd appreciate it if you'd
tell me where to find Petey.
769
01:08:24,044 --> 01:08:25,306
Right now!
770
01:08:25,366 --> 01:08:26,758
Sure, Eddie.
771
01:08:27,096 --> 01:08:28,152
Sure.
772
01:08:34,841 --> 01:08:36,822
Ocean Boulevard and 25th.
773
01:09:43,996 --> 01:09:46,490
Who's there? Who is it?
-Eddie.
774
01:09:47,355 --> 01:09:48,910
Eddie Riccardi.
775
01:09:49,277 --> 01:09:52,886
Oh, Eddie boy. Every cop in the
city is out gunning for you!
776
01:09:53,350 --> 01:09:55,403
Maybe you don't care if you live...
777
01:09:55,711 --> 01:09:57,604
I got a few more years left!
778
01:09:57,839 --> 01:09:59,526
Open the door, Petey.
779
01:10:00,083 --> 01:10:01,799
You're dead if you don't.
780
01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:04,769
All right, Eddie.
781
01:10:12,804 --> 01:10:15,914
You didn't think I'd leave you out
there in the cold, did you Eddie?
782
01:10:16,545 --> 01:10:20,550
Five years, no see! But, you sure got
a hot fire burning under you, huh?
783
01:10:21,019 --> 01:10:22,105
Yeah.
784
01:10:24,891 --> 01:10:26,900
You need a pal, a friend.
785
01:10:30,025 --> 01:10:32,240
Sure, I need a friend, Petey.
786
01:10:32,483 --> 01:10:36,263
Look, old friend... Will you...will
you put that mouthpiece away?
787
01:10:36,323 --> 01:10:39,153
Somehow I...I still believe they go off!
788
01:10:39,926 --> 01:10:42,669
And, Samson my cat, you remember my cat?
789
01:10:44,180 --> 01:10:46,439
He's not feeling too good again.
790
01:10:46,949 --> 01:10:49,545
You stay careful and
nothing will happen.
791
01:10:49,605 --> 01:10:53,110
Oh sure. Sure, Eddie. You're
talking to Petey, remember?
792
01:10:53,340 --> 01:10:55,746
Any objections to my moving in with you?
793
01:10:56,025 --> 01:10:58,416
I'll be gone, tomorrow or the next day.
794
01:10:58,476 --> 01:11:01,771
Oh, me? Turn away practically,
my own flesh and blood?
795
01:11:03,341 --> 01:11:04,822
Relax, Eddie.
796
01:11:08,491 --> 01:11:11,308
There you are, Eddie. Nothing's
too good for you.
797
01:11:12,355 --> 01:11:16,154
How about some food, Petey?
I haven't eaten all night.
798
01:11:16,536 --> 01:11:18,370
You haven't changed a bit.
799
01:11:18,590 --> 01:11:20,086
Always hungry!
800
01:11:20,146 --> 01:11:22,022
Still tied up with Vince?
801
01:11:24,002 --> 01:11:27,670
I do a little private eyeing on the side.
A job here, a job there.
802
01:11:28,007 --> 01:11:29,284
Nothing big.
803
01:11:31,150 --> 01:11:32,705
I'll telephone.
804
01:11:43,749 --> 01:11:47,358
Hello, friend? Petey! I got
a special customer.
805
01:11:47,828 --> 01:11:49,852
Yeah. Yeah, an old one.
806
01:11:50,881 --> 01:11:54,094
How about sending something over?
He's tired and hungry.
807
01:11:54,813 --> 01:11:56,778
A pot of coffee and a sandwich.
808
01:11:56,969 --> 01:11:58,011
Turkey.
809
01:11:58,266 --> 01:11:59,352
Tongue
810
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:01,684
Egg salad combination.
811
01:12:02,638 --> 01:12:04,442
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
812
01:12:05,543 --> 01:12:06,863
You got it.
813
01:12:12,752 --> 01:12:16,068
You see, Eddie? Everything's
just like old times.
814
01:12:16,655 --> 01:12:18,474
If you say so, Petey.
815
01:12:20,114 --> 01:12:21,948
I'm gettin' kinda sleepy.
816
01:12:22,271 --> 01:12:25,308
You just make yourself at home,
food will be along pretty soon.
817
01:12:25,368 --> 01:12:28,183
Vince has gotten to be a big
man the last five years.
818
01:12:28,675 --> 01:12:31,168
I'm really gettin' pretty tired, friend.
819
01:12:31,228 --> 01:12:33,457
Why don't you bring me
up to date, Petey?
820
01:12:33,517 --> 01:12:35,247
I'm really awful tired, friend!
821
01:12:35,307 --> 01:12:37,501
How long will it take Vince to get here?
822
01:12:37,971 --> 01:12:40,861
Eddie...Eddie, you...you embarrass me.
823
01:12:41,135 --> 01:12:43,834
I'll kill you if you don't give
it to me straight, Petey!
824
01:12:43,894 --> 01:12:47,047
Eddie...Eddie, don't talk like that.
Samson's sick!
825
01:12:47,543 --> 01:12:50,403
I'm telling you, Eddie!
-What are you telling me? How long?
826
01:12:50,463 --> 01:12:53,557
Five minutes? Ten? Fifteen minutes?
Twenty minutes?
827
01:12:54,096 --> 01:12:57,015
About...about fifteen minutes, Eddie.
828
01:12:57,323 --> 01:13:00,902
Vince puts you on the spot!
He's that way with all the boys!
829
01:13:01,162 --> 01:13:04,781
Blow Eddie! Take me with you.
You and me was always friends!
830
01:13:04,841 --> 01:13:08,273
You just stay in front of me and keep your
mouth shut and you won't get into trouble.
831
01:13:08,333 --> 01:13:11,265
Sure, Eddie! You got nothing
to worry about from me.
832
01:13:11,325 --> 01:13:14,361
Just stay my friend, Petey.
-Yeah, Eddie.
833
01:13:27,837 --> 01:13:29,935
You're retired, you can go home now.
834
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:32,601
Your friend want a ride?
-Not tonight.
835
01:13:34,995 --> 01:13:36,151
$2.80
836
01:13:36,711 --> 01:13:39,616
This will get you a thousand.
Come on, Petey.
837
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,005
Take care of Petey.
838
01:15:45,187 --> 01:15:46,434
Eddie!
839
01:15:46,625 --> 01:15:48,165
Let's get out of here!
840
01:15:49,661 --> 01:15:51,158
Go ahead, Petey.
841
01:15:51,610 --> 01:15:52,974
Thanks, Eddie.
842
01:15:54,148 --> 01:15:55,615
They're coming!
843
01:18:02,988 --> 01:18:04,191
Eddie.
844
01:18:04,792 --> 01:18:06,274
Can you hear me?
845
01:18:09,079 --> 01:18:10,898
We can make a break.
846
01:18:11,558 --> 01:18:13,319
Cover for each other.
847
01:18:14,096 --> 01:18:15,739
I got a place.
848
01:18:17,148 --> 01:18:18,820
You and me, Eddie.
849
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,342
We'll start up again.
850
01:18:22,914 --> 01:18:25,056
Just like old times.
851
01:18:30,072 --> 01:18:31,671
I got money, Eddie.
852
01:18:32,992 --> 01:18:34,327
Big money!
853
01:18:37,521 --> 01:18:39,355
Samson! Samson!
854
01:18:39,986 --> 01:18:41,159
Samson!
855
01:18:43,096 --> 01:18:44,841
Petey! Come back!
856
01:18:46,807 --> 01:18:47,908
Samson.
857
01:18:48,318 --> 01:18:50,446
Samson, baby. Samson.
858
01:19:47,773 --> 01:19:50,091
Riccardi! Alexander!
859
01:19:50,292 --> 01:19:53,813
We'll give you three minutes to come out.
We're gonna start counting.
860
01:19:54,135 --> 01:19:57,920
At the end of three minutes if you're
not out, we're coming to get you!
861
01:19:58,429 --> 01:20:00,600
This is your last chance, Eddie.
862
01:20:01,862 --> 01:20:04,121
There's just you and me left now.
863
01:20:04,181 --> 01:20:05,676
No deal, Vince.
864
01:20:06,455 --> 01:20:08,538
I know you killed Joe Williams.
865
01:20:08,978 --> 01:20:10,357
Okay...
866
01:20:11,516 --> 01:20:13,071
No deals.
867
01:21:51,795 --> 01:21:54,993
We want you, Riccardi..
Alive, Alexander!
868
01:21:55,595 --> 01:21:58,646
If you're in there and not wounded,
bring Riccardi out.
869
01:21:59,653 --> 01:22:03,761
You, Riccardi! If you're alone, come
out with your hands in the air!
870
01:22:06,712 --> 01:22:09,176
Here's when you and I part company.
871
01:22:09,396 --> 01:22:12,081
You're gonna get paid off in full.
872
01:22:41,345 --> 01:22:43,574
Thanks for bringing him out, Vince.
873
01:22:43,853 --> 01:22:47,169
Now, drop your gun.
I said drop your gun, Vince!
874
01:22:49,233 --> 01:22:51,932
Eddie will take what I
got first, Anderson!
875
01:22:54,015 --> 01:22:56,568
All police officers hold your fire!
876
01:22:57,552 --> 01:22:59,532
Don't be crazy, Alexander.
877
01:22:59,899 --> 01:23:02,774
There have been enough people killed.
Give yourself up.
878
01:23:02,834 --> 01:23:04,491
No bargains, Anderson!
879
01:23:04,551 --> 01:23:06,487
You want Riccardi alive...
880
01:23:06,547 --> 01:23:07,866
I want out!
881
01:23:07,926 --> 01:23:10,682
What guarantee have I got that
you won't kill Riccardi?
882
01:23:10,742 --> 01:23:13,250
You don't!
-Be sensible, Alexander.
883
01:23:13,979 --> 01:23:16,854
If we let you out now,
we'll get you later.
884
01:23:17,089 --> 01:23:19,040
You'll be dead before morning.
885
01:23:19,245 --> 01:23:21,930
You got 30 seconds to make
up your mind, Anderson!
886
01:23:22,688 --> 01:23:24,053
I go...
887
01:23:24,361 --> 01:23:26,415
or Riccardi gets it in the back!
888
01:23:29,595 --> 01:23:31,388
Sat down, Eddie! Don't move!
889
01:24:05,464 --> 01:24:06,711
Is he dead?
890
01:24:06,771 --> 01:24:09,234
He will be if we don't get
him to a hospital.
891
01:24:15,716 --> 01:24:19,090
That taxi driver must have really
gotten to you in a hurry.
892
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,980
He did, asking for a $1000 reward.
893
01:24:22,337 --> 01:24:26,826
And all the questions you want to ask...
I called Dr Kemble from San Francisco.
894
01:24:27,149 --> 01:24:31,242
We knew Vince killed Jow Williams,
we found his blood on Joe's clothing.
895
01:24:31,604 --> 01:24:34,435
It matched up with our
lab files, yours didn't.
896
01:24:34,740 --> 01:24:37,351
And, Hazel told us the truth about Coke.
897
01:24:37,747 --> 01:24:41,254
Now, just get well. We'll finish
our business later.
898
01:24:42,217 --> 01:24:43,391
Nina...
899
01:24:43,451 --> 01:24:45,782
She's fine...in the waiting room.
900
01:25:05,063 --> 01:25:08,173
You shouldn't kiss a guy like
that when he's sick in bed.
901
01:25:10,205 --> 01:25:14,254
Well, I've been waiting outside all the
time. They wouldn't tell me anything.
902
01:25:14,314 --> 01:25:15,970
I was afraid...
903
01:25:17,151 --> 01:25:18,647
It's all right.
904
01:25:19,674 --> 01:25:21,170
We'll go away.
905
01:25:21,230 --> 01:25:24,222
We'll find that...crazy world of yours.
906
01:25:25,698 --> 01:25:27,151
Sure.
907
01:25:30,408 --> 01:25:32,373
There's only one thing...
908
01:25:33,675 --> 01:25:35,494
You'll always be...
909
01:25:35,758 --> 01:25:37,298
Eddie Rice.
910
01:25:38,853 --> 01:25:40,540
For the rest of my life.
911
01:25:40,990 --> 01:25:43,059
I have the doc's word for him.
912
01:25:44,673 --> 01:25:46,110
Come here.

After sustaining a head wound in combat, decorated World War II veteran Eddie Rice (John Payne) is treated at a San Francisco military hospital for a permanent form of amnesia. This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.
Rice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely.

1
00:01:12,415 --> 00:01:16,556
This is the Letterman General Hosiptal
at San Francisco, California.
2
00:01:16,616 --> 00:01:21,219
For those outside these gates the
war is over, a thing of the past.
3
00:01:21,279 --> 00:01:26,888
For those behind these gates there's a
grim, hard, bitter fight still going on.
4
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:31,518
Take one case, the case
of Eddie Rice, age 33.
5
00:01:31,578 --> 00:01:37,206
Enlisted from Los Angeles, 1943.
Holder of the Silver Star, but today...
6
00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:43,026
A name and date number, a medical file.
For five years a chart on a hospital bed.
7
00:01:43,256 --> 00:01:47,340
A victim of amnesia.
A mind with a blocked out past.
8
00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,127
Where were you born, Eddie?
Who are your parents?
9
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,912
Any brothers? Sisters?
10
00:01:54,277 --> 00:01:58,775
Where did you go to school?
What's your trade? Profession?
11
00:01:59,433 --> 00:02:01,748
Are you rich?
Poor?
12
00:02:02,051 --> 00:02:03,689
Got a girl?
13
00:02:03,915 --> 00:02:05,289
Married?
14
00:02:05,349 --> 00:02:06,869
I don't know.
15
00:02:07,378 --> 00:02:09,015
I don't know!
16
00:02:09,824 --> 00:02:11,537
I can't remember.
17
00:02:12,444 --> 00:02:14,571
I just can't remember, doctor.
18
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:30,922
You had me open. What did you quit for?
-We did the best we could, Eddie.
19
00:02:31,218 --> 00:02:33,439
It'll just have to stay there.
20
00:02:34,606 --> 00:02:38,483
Is that final?
-Unless you want your name on a headstone.
21
00:02:38,543 --> 00:02:43,592
That shrapnel's too deep in your brain.
Scar tissue has grown all around it.
22
00:02:43,652 --> 00:02:46,980
Believe me, we tried.
-Yeah, I guess you did.
23
00:02:48,391 --> 00:02:52,551
Where do I go from here?
-Eddie, there are two kinds of amnesia:
24
00:02:52,611 --> 00:02:54,895
psychological and organic.
25
00:02:55,178 --> 00:03:00,240
The psychological form is temporary, but
it can be cured through psychotherapy.
26
00:03:01,016 --> 00:03:03,876
Yours is organic, it's permanent.
27
00:03:04,347 --> 00:03:07,772
That piece of steel in your brain
has blocked out your memory.
28
00:03:07,832 --> 00:03:10,863
Which doesn't leave me much
of a future, does it?
29
00:03:10,923 --> 00:03:15,071
Of course it does, physically
you're normal and healthy.
30
00:03:15,131 --> 00:03:17,771
You've received the maximum
medical benefits
31
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:22,559
You've completed training courses that make
you fit to hold down a job and face life.
32
00:03:23,499 --> 00:03:26,540
With no address, no next
of kin, nothing.
33
00:03:27,489 --> 00:03:29,567
Enlisted from Los Angeles...
34
00:03:29,627 --> 00:03:32,397
Intelligence ran that down
for us, remember?
35
00:03:32,867 --> 00:03:35,818
Oh sure, there were a lot of
people named Rice there...
36
00:03:36,026 --> 00:03:37,682
but not this Eddie Rice.
37
00:03:37,742 --> 00:03:41,777
But, Army Intelligence didn't mow
Los Angeles lawns as a kid, Eddie.
38
00:03:41,837 --> 00:03:44,292
They didn't trade at the corner market.
39
00:03:44,352 --> 00:03:48,775
They didn't work with people in a factory,
in an office, as you might have done.
40
00:03:48,986 --> 00:03:50,136
Now...
41
00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:54,081
If you went down there...and ran
into somebody who knew you,
42
00:03:54,141 --> 00:03:55,918
just one person...
43
00:03:56,384 --> 00:03:57,694
Yes...
44
00:03:58,992 --> 00:04:01,702
If I ran into just one person
who knew me.
45
00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:03,689
One guy...
46
00:04:04,785 --> 00:04:07,149
Who would come up to me and say:
47
00:04:07,616 --> 00:04:08,775
"Eddie."
48
00:04:08,986 --> 00:04:10,491
"Eddie Rice."
49
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:12,253
"How have you been?"
50
00:04:12,581 --> 00:04:14,132
"Where have you been?"
51
00:04:14,192 --> 00:04:15,577
That's it, Eddie.
52
00:04:15,637 --> 00:04:18,766
And then, they'd tell me about
someone else I used to know.
53
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:21,626
And, I'd meet somebody else.
54
00:04:22,635 --> 00:04:24,141
And another...
55
00:04:25,342 --> 00:04:26,908
And another...
56
00:04:57,774 --> 00:05:00,996
<i>Sure, it scares you to go out into
a world you don't remember...</i>
57
00:05:01,484 --> 00:05:02,959
<i>but you're here now.</i>
58
00:05:03,742 --> 00:05:05,473
<i>It'll be a new life.</i>
59
00:05:05,805 --> 00:05:07,295
<i>A new start.</i>
60
00:05:08,231 --> 00:05:10,189
<i>Find yourself a place to live.</i>
61
00:05:10,957 --> 00:05:12,613
<i>Get yourself a job.</i>
62
00:05:13,290 --> 00:05:14,540
<i>Get going.</i>
63
00:05:15,353 --> 00:05:16,919
<i>Get going, Eddie!</i>
64
00:05:19,198 --> 00:05:20,357
Eddie!
65
00:05:20,417 --> 00:05:22,736
You know, it's a small world, Eddie.
66
00:05:22,796 --> 00:05:25,266
We came down here to pick
up a little of one thing,
67
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:28,650
and we ran into a little of another!
-A lot of us thought you were dead.
68
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:32,851
Yes, and...those that didn't hoped you
were. What are you doing in town?
69
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,642
I'm just in from San Francisco.
70
00:05:36,702 --> 00:05:40,060
I didn't ask you that.
-He asked you what you were doing in town.
71
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,354
I cam here to look up some...people.
72
00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:45,989
Funny, I...I had a feeling that was it.
73
00:05:46,049 --> 00:05:48,443
Anderson one of them?
-Anderson?
74
00:05:49,719 --> 00:05:50,698
Maybe.
75
00:05:50,758 --> 00:05:54,251
I think you're lying, Eddie. I don't think you
were gonna look up Anderson at all.
76
00:05:54,311 --> 00:05:57,458
Barrett, do you think he was gonna
look up Anderson? -No, Joe.
77
00:05:57,699 --> 00:06:00,108
Not Anderson.
-I'll tell you what...
78
00:06:00,168 --> 00:06:02,737
I got a car and nothing
to do for a while...
79
00:06:02,797 --> 00:06:05,478
Let's go see Anderson together.
Any objections?
80
00:06:07,616 --> 00:06:09,016
No objections.
81
00:06:09,076 --> 00:06:11,256
Stick around, Kelly may still show.
82
00:06:11,452 --> 00:06:12,506
Let's go.
83
00:06:35,122 --> 00:06:37,667
'Honorable discharge of Edward Rice.'
84
00:06:41,972 --> 00:06:43,568
What's the gimmick?
85
00:06:44,110 --> 00:06:46,399
If you'd put away your blackjacks
long enough
86
00:06:46,459 --> 00:06:48,431
maybe I could get it through
your heads that...
87
00:06:48,491 --> 00:06:50,714
I don't know what you're talking about.
88
00:06:50,774 --> 00:06:52,912
You got yourself a sense
of humor, Eddie.
89
00:06:52,972 --> 00:06:56,010
You think you come back here with
a dumb look and a Silver Star...
90
00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:58,958
That changes a no good heel?
-But, I'm trying to tell you that...
91
00:06:59,018 --> 00:07:01,382
You don't have to tell us
anything about yourself.
92
00:07:01,442 --> 00:07:03,881
We got it all down in black and white.
93
00:07:06,019 --> 00:07:07,630
Read it, Riccardi.
94
00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:09,313
We didn't dream it up.
95
00:07:09,795 --> 00:07:12,355
Possession of a weapon
with intent to kill.
96
00:07:12,882 --> 00:07:14,553
Suspicion of murder.
97
00:07:17,184 --> 00:07:18,566
<i>Riccardi...</i>
98
00:07:19,274 --> 00:07:20,960
<i>Eddie Riccardi.</i>
99
00:07:21,638 --> 00:07:25,236
<i>That's not me, it can't be.
It only looks like me!</i>
100
00:07:26,348 --> 00:07:29,103
<i>I better get out of here!
I've got to get out!</i>
101
00:07:29,163 --> 00:07:33,093
Five years ago we hustled you out of town,
for good. Now what are you here for?
102
00:07:34,253 --> 00:07:35,939
<i>You've got to play ball.</i>
103
00:07:35,999 --> 00:07:39,153
<i>You need time. You need more
time to find out about yourself.</i>
104
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,894
Riccardi's just playing dumb, Captain.
105
00:07:42,556 --> 00:07:44,122
Put him in the lockup.
106
00:07:44,498 --> 00:07:47,085
I'm finding about these...
discharge papers.
107
00:07:47,145 --> 00:07:49,358
If they're phonies, we'll pin a
real one on him.
108
00:07:49,418 --> 00:07:50,999
Just a minute, Lieutenant.
109
00:07:52,426 --> 00:07:56,627
I guess, maybe I didn't want the army
to know about Eddie...Riccardi.
110
00:07:57,317 --> 00:08:00,133
The only friends I have
know me as Eddie Rice.
111
00:08:00,916 --> 00:08:02,813
I'd like to keep it that way.
112
00:08:03,219 --> 00:08:05,945
That's probably the first honest
thing you've ever said.
113
00:08:06,005 --> 00:08:07,537
Pick up your things.
114
00:08:10,967 --> 00:08:14,008
Be Eddie Rice in some other
town, but not here.
115
00:08:14,068 --> 00:08:18,540
Now, we can't hold you, but...you step
out of line once and we step on you.
116
00:08:26,034 --> 00:08:28,278
Notice anything different
about him, Williams?
117
00:08:28,338 --> 00:08:31,138
Nothing! If Riccardi stays in town
there's gonna be trouble.
118
00:08:31,198 --> 00:08:34,210
I don't know. He had a strange
look about him.
119
00:08:34,667 --> 00:08:37,934
Send to Washington for a complete
report on Edward Rice.
120
00:08:37,994 --> 00:08:40,870
That Silver Star, you really
do something to get one.
121
00:08:40,930 --> 00:08:43,686
Yeah, buy it in a pawn
shop for two bits.
122
00:09:01,270 --> 00:09:04,944
Nina, my sweet!
My beautiful, lovely...
123
00:09:05,004 --> 00:09:07,609
All right, Nick! Let's keep
it all business.
124
00:09:10,063 --> 00:09:13,240
Who is it this time?
-Petey. Suspicion of robbery.
125
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:16,251
Get him out before they start
shifting him around. -Petey?
126
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:17,588
Him?
127
00:09:17,648 --> 00:09:19,726
He wouldn't steal his own shadow.
128
00:09:19,786 --> 00:09:22,056
That was William's gag to get
him out of the way.
129
00:09:22,116 --> 00:09:25,670
I wouldn't know. Bail's $1000.
-Inflation!
130
00:09:25,730 --> 00:09:27,823
That's the whole trouble these days.
131
00:09:28,847 --> 00:09:30,714
Alexander, he unhappy?
132
00:09:31,252 --> 00:09:34,188
Nick. Keep your mind on your business.
133
00:09:34,248 --> 00:09:36,233
Let Vince worry about his, huh?
134
00:09:36,293 --> 00:09:39,259
Sure, beautiful Sure.
Forget I mentioned it.
135
00:09:53,907 --> 00:09:55,970
Take my advice, you leave town.
136
00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:57,837
I've got things to do.
137
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,125
Adios, boy! You're on your own.
138
00:10:04,466 --> 00:10:05,941
Kelly never showed.
139
00:10:06,001 --> 00:10:07,071
Odd.
140
00:10:07,131 --> 00:10:08,606
We'll hear from him.
141
00:10:18,132 --> 00:10:20,074
One of the usual fronts?
142
00:10:21,098 --> 00:10:24,064
You have a lot of Jane Does, Nick.
Use one of them.
143
00:10:26,732 --> 00:10:28,328
Of course, there's a big difference
144
00:10:28,388 --> 00:10:30,617
between the Florida oranges
and the California oranges.
145
00:10:30,677 --> 00:10:33,131
At least that's what the Chamber
of Commerce in Florida says.
146
00:10:33,191 --> 00:10:35,661
And the Chamber of Commerce
in California says...
147
00:10:35,872 --> 00:10:37,874
Orange juice, please.
-Yes, ma'am.
148
00:10:41,153 --> 00:10:42,388
Eddie.
149
00:10:44,691 --> 00:10:47,281
I thought it was you from
across the street.
150
00:10:48,856 --> 00:10:49,940
Hello.
151
00:10:51,204 --> 00:10:53,794
Is that the only thing
you've got to say?
152
00:10:54,110 --> 00:10:56,640
Well, there's a lot more
I could say, but...
153
00:10:57,107 --> 00:10:58,311
but you...
154
00:10:59,299 --> 00:11:00,609
Let's see...
155
00:11:01,814 --> 00:11:03,425
Nacy Morgan?
156
00:11:03,711 --> 00:11:05,051
Nora Murphy?
157
00:11:05,292 --> 00:11:09,176
No, you don't look like Nora Murphy.
-What'd you come back for, Eddie?
158
00:11:10,216 --> 00:11:12,610
A man has a right to come
home, hasn't he?
159
00:11:14,552 --> 00:11:17,699
My car is across the street,
I'll take you there.
160
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:18,994
Sure!
161
00:11:19,175 --> 00:11:20,228
Thanks.
162
00:11:45,318 --> 00:11:47,089
Vince know you're back?
163
00:11:47,149 --> 00:11:48,360
Vince?
164
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,025
Should he?
165
00:11:51,762 --> 00:11:53,419
You oughta know.
166
00:12:02,797 --> 00:12:04,499
Thanks for the lift.
167
00:12:07,503 --> 00:12:08,828
Coming in?
168
00:12:09,264 --> 00:12:11,447
Who said this was the end of the road?
169
00:12:12,833 --> 00:12:15,091
Who's complaining? Not me.
170
00:12:40,205 --> 00:12:41,530
Checking in?
171
00:12:41,771 --> 00:12:42,870
Long?
172
00:12:44,466 --> 00:12:45,896
I don't know yet.
173
00:12:46,739 --> 00:12:48,019
Alone?
174
00:12:48,648 --> 00:12:49,672
Yes.
175
00:12:52,517 --> 00:12:55,393
Edward Rice...San Francisco.
176
00:12:58,702 --> 00:13:00,042
304.
177
00:13:03,234 --> 00:13:06,757
I'll throw the stuff in the room and
be right back. -If you say so.
178
00:13:29,744 --> 00:13:32,665
Hello? hello, this is Nina.
I want to talk to Vince.
179
00:13:32,725 --> 00:13:33,885
He's busy.
180
00:13:33,945 --> 00:13:36,203
Not too busy for what
I've got to tell him.
181
00:13:36,263 --> 00:13:37,479
<i>He's not here.</i>
182
00:13:37,539 --> 00:13:41,379
Look, let's not keep where he is a
secret it might upset your whole future.
183
00:13:41,439 --> 00:13:42,945
Put me through to him!
184
00:13:55,033 --> 00:13:56,719
You talk too much.
185
00:13:57,397 --> 00:13:59,189
Another treatment, Kelly?
186
00:14:00,453 --> 00:14:01,603
Any...
187
00:14:02,265 --> 00:14:04,750
Any second...breaks, Vince?
188
00:14:06,993 --> 00:14:09,176
I'm easy to do business with.
189
00:14:10,165 --> 00:14:11,520
If you talk...
190
00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:12,830
you live.
191
00:14:14,034 --> 00:14:16,865
All i want to hear is your
angle with Joe Williams.
192
00:14:19,271 --> 00:14:22,463
Give him a cigarette, Danny.
It'll relax him.
193
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:30,609
I'm...trusting you, Vince.
194
00:14:30,834 --> 00:14:32,792
Sure. Sure, Kelly.
195
00:14:33,474 --> 00:14:35,612
I told you we'd turn you loose.
196
00:14:35,672 --> 00:14:37,388
You understand how I...
197
00:14:37,569 --> 00:14:40,942
How a guy feels when he's been
kicked out of the organization?
198
00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:43,633
I know...
199
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:47,533
I shouldn't of been a sucker and
told Williams about the...
200
00:14:48,253 --> 00:14:50,828
...about the silver dollar.
-Forget that.
201
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,915
What did you tell him about this?
-Nothing!
202
00:14:56,455 --> 00:14:58,201
Nothing much, really.
203
00:14:59,044 --> 00:15:01,755
Vince!
-What did you tell him, Kelly?
204
00:15:01,815 --> 00:15:03,185
Really, Vince...
205
00:15:03,381 --> 00:15:04,931
Nothing important.
206
00:15:05,688 --> 00:15:06,757
Just...
207
00:15:07,178 --> 00:15:08,970
a little of this and...
208
00:15:09,527 --> 00:15:11,304
that about the...
209
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,532
about the slot machines and...
210
00:15:14,315 --> 00:15:16,333
and the take. But, I...
211
00:15:16,787 --> 00:15:18,564
I phonied the figures.
212
00:15:19,403 --> 00:15:22,550
Honest I did.
-These figures aren't phoney.
213
00:15:22,836 --> 00:15:24,447
Where'd you get 'em?
214
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,684
Snatched them out of your safe, Vince.
215
00:15:31,219 --> 00:15:33,192
Williams is waiting for 'em.
216
00:15:33,535 --> 00:15:37,359
He was going to bundle me out of town,
bring me back for the trial.
217
00:15:38,696 --> 00:15:42,083
But, I was gonna duck.
They never would of found me.
218
00:15:44,568 --> 00:15:46,480
That's the truth, Vince!
219
00:15:54,771 --> 00:15:56,021
Hello.
220
00:15:56,788 --> 00:15:58,264
Hello, Nina.
221
00:16:02,956 --> 00:16:05,242
You sure it's him?
-I was with him!
222
00:16:05,302 --> 00:16:08,524
First I saw him outside police
headquarters talking to Joe Williams,
223
00:16:08,584 --> 00:16:10,466
then I drove him to the Cortez.
224
00:16:10,689 --> 00:16:14,362
He cked in under the name
of Eddie Rice, room 304.
225
00:16:14,422 --> 00:16:15,552
Thanks.
226
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:37,164
You still want to take that trip, Kelly?
227
00:16:39,317 --> 00:16:41,560
You don't have to worry about me, Vince.
228
00:16:42,019 --> 00:16:43,028
Don.
229
00:16:44,194 --> 00:16:45,820
Big mouth Kelly.
230
00:16:46,257 --> 00:16:48,832
You think what he's got
may be contagious?
231
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:50,563
Very...catchy.
232
00:16:51,562 --> 00:16:54,648
What's your opinion, Don?
-Very, definitely.
233
00:16:56,621 --> 00:16:58,283
What can I do?
234
00:16:59,322 --> 00:17:01,686
The consultation's in agreement.
235
00:17:04,595 --> 00:17:05,769
Kelly!
236
00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:07,380
You're dead!
237
00:17:09,097 --> 00:17:10,527
Oh, and Kelly...
238
00:17:10,774 --> 00:17:14,749
When you get to where you're going,
have 'em give you a nice, even burn.
239
00:17:14,809 --> 00:17:17,579
Don't let them just fry you on one side.
240
00:18:01,054 --> 00:18:05,210
I'm sorry to bother you again, but..
has there been any sign of the girl yet?
241
00:18:07,876 --> 00:18:09,051
Thanks.
242
00:18:40,394 --> 00:18:42,743
Don't you believe in knocking on doors?
243
00:18:43,857 --> 00:18:45,814
Who are you? What do you want?
244
00:19:00,538 --> 00:19:02,661
So, that's where you've been hold up...
245
00:19:02,932 --> 00:19:04,498
Eddie Rice!
246
00:19:05,181 --> 00:19:08,990
No wonder I couldn't get a line on you.
Are you back sightseeing?
247
00:19:09,378 --> 00:19:10,854
Mr Rice?
248
00:19:13,052 --> 00:19:15,326
This supposed to be a free country?
249
00:19:15,684 --> 00:19:17,250
Free town?
250
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:18,951
Open to anyone?
251
00:19:19,011 --> 00:19:20,366
Not with me in it.
252
00:19:20,635 --> 00:19:23,240
You didn't waste much time
picking up with the cops.
253
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:27,395
Why should it worry you about
me talking to Williams?
254
00:19:27,455 --> 00:19:29,274
You've got me confused, Eddie.
255
00:19:29,771 --> 00:19:33,460
Only a sucker would walk back in
town after the deal you pulled.
256
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,979
Some things a fella has to...
257
00:19:37,401 --> 00:19:39,102
find out for himself.
258
00:19:40,096 --> 00:19:41,948
Not about you and me.
259
00:19:50,768 --> 00:19:53,283
I've been saving this for five years.
260
00:19:54,021 --> 00:19:57,378
Everyone in life has his bible,
this is mine.
261
00:19:58,978 --> 00:20:03,661
I take it out and read it every day. I read
it to remind me of a guy I grew up with.
262
00:20:03,917 --> 00:20:05,648
Got shoved around with.
263
00:20:06,277 --> 00:20:08,566
We used to take a lot of raps together.
264
00:20:09,439 --> 00:20:13,143
Some people would call a guy
like that a...a loyal friend.
265
00:20:13,968 --> 00:20:15,353
He was.
266
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:22,050
Until he turned into a dirty stool pigeon,
and let me take the rap for him!
267
00:20:38,866 --> 00:20:40,070
Eddie...
268
00:20:41,380 --> 00:20:42,811
Riccardi?
269
00:20:43,025 --> 00:20:47,105
My good friend who sold me out
to a cop named Joe Williams!
270
00:20:58,268 --> 00:21:00,541
Don't mess up his face too much.
271
00:21:03,876 --> 00:21:05,909
I ought to kill you, Eddie.
272
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:08,709
But, you're not worth taking
another rap for!
273
00:21:08,769 --> 00:21:11,058
In 24 hours...disappear!
274
00:21:11,935 --> 00:21:15,006
Otherwise, I might be tempted
to change my mind!
275
00:21:15,624 --> 00:21:17,205
Give him some air!
276
00:22:11,865 --> 00:22:14,153
<i>Why didn't the girl come back?</i>
277
00:22:15,523 --> 00:22:17,812
<i>What did she know about me?</i>
278
00:22:18,730 --> 00:22:20,808
<i>Why did she bring me here?</i>
279
00:22:21,847 --> 00:22:23,111
<i>Vince...</i>
280
00:22:24,060 --> 00:22:26,123
<i>Why didn't Vince kill me?</i>
281
00:22:27,402 --> 00:22:29,450
<i>Maybe I deserved it.</i>
282
00:22:30,625 --> 00:22:33,140
<i>Maybe Dr Kemble ought to know?</i>
283
00:22:34,224 --> 00:22:36,051
<i>I better tell him.</i>
284
00:22:37,226 --> 00:22:39,033
<i>I better call him.</i>
285
00:22:40,328 --> 00:22:41,908
<i>I better...</i>
286
00:22:44,659 --> 00:22:45,879
Hello.
287
00:22:46,391 --> 00:22:50,456
I want to put through a call, person
to person. Dr Kemble...
288
00:22:50,652 --> 00:22:53,392
Letterman Genral Hospital,
San Francisco.
289
00:22:54,435 --> 00:22:56,091
K-E-M-B-L-E
290
00:22:57,411 --> 00:22:58,736
Thank you.
291
00:23:14,170 --> 00:23:15,961
Hello, Dr Kemble?
292
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,812
When do you expect him back?
293
00:23:19,219 --> 00:23:20,920
Not till tomorrow?
294
00:23:22,121 --> 00:23:24,500
Never mind, I'll see him personally.
295
00:24:15,503 --> 00:24:18,780
Forget about Union Station.
Take me to 7 Braxton Avenue.
296
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:30,476
Wait for me.
297
00:24:51,762 --> 00:24:53,961
Thanks a lot Lou, for driving me home.
298
00:24:54,021 --> 00:24:57,393
Just a minute, darling.
I'll walk to the door with you.
299
00:24:58,990 --> 00:25:02,378
It's early, Nina. A little drink for
a nightcap won't hurt you.
300
00:25:02,589 --> 00:25:04,456
That's what you think.
301
00:25:04,516 --> 00:25:07,825
You could make me forget that
thousand I dropped tonight, Nina.
302
00:25:07,885 --> 00:25:11,182
I can forget a lot of things, Lou.
You, for instance.
303
00:25:11,242 --> 00:25:13,633
Good night.
-Just a minute, baby.
304
00:25:13,693 --> 00:25:16,328
I'd like a little receipt
for that grand.
305
00:25:19,246 --> 00:25:20,827
That's better.
306
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:25,539
That's your receipt. Good night.
307
00:25:45,117 --> 00:25:46,758
Now listen...
308
00:25:50,045 --> 00:25:51,461
Go ahead.
309
00:25:51,521 --> 00:25:53,237
Take a good look.
310
00:25:53,629 --> 00:25:58,055
If you came to tell me how Vince welcomed
you back, you've said it. So, goodbye!
311
00:25:58,673 --> 00:26:02,272
I want to know what you had
to do with me...in my life.
312
00:26:04,596 --> 00:26:06,057
And this.
313
00:26:10,473 --> 00:26:12,160
December the 24th,
314
00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:13,801
1943.
315
00:26:14,162 --> 00:26:16,120
Ah, that was a lovely Christmas.
316
00:26:16,903 --> 00:26:19,041
One I'll never forget.
317
00:26:24,136 --> 00:26:26,380
Only one of your presents!
318
00:26:29,297 --> 00:26:33,664
Sure, I told Vince Alexander
you're back. I work for him.
319
00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:39,946
This clipping...
320
00:26:40,955 --> 00:26:45,366
Why couldn't you testify at the trial?
-Oh, no routines, I've heard them all.
321
00:26:48,454 --> 00:26:51,436
Listen to me!
I'm just out of an army hospital
322
00:26:51,496 --> 00:26:54,507
with a piece of steel in my head
and no memory to go with it.
323
00:26:54,567 --> 00:26:57,756
I'm here to find out about myself and
I'm getting answers the hard way!
324
00:26:57,816 --> 00:27:00,677
I don't know you, Vince Alexander...
325
00:27:00,737 --> 00:27:05,055
or anybody called Eddie Riccardi!
All I know is one person, Eddie Rice! Me!
326
00:27:07,178 --> 00:27:09,391
You're the last person I can turn to.
327
00:27:10,472 --> 00:27:12,263
Please believe me.
328
00:27:12,850 --> 00:27:14,115
Help me.
329
00:27:16,584 --> 00:27:19,039
That's a very touching speech.
330
00:27:21,477 --> 00:27:23,901
You lost your memory.
331
00:27:24,564 --> 00:27:28,298
You don't know why I couldn't
testify at the trial.
332
00:27:28,529 --> 00:27:32,067
You've forgotten how you used me to
make sure Vince would go to prison
333
00:27:32,127 --> 00:27:33,829
so you'd be set free.
334
00:27:33,889 --> 00:27:37,966
But, if you're back to your old tricks
again I've got sad news for you,
335
00:27:38,026 --> 00:27:40,752
I tore up your raincheck
three years ago.
336
00:27:43,494 --> 00:27:45,587
I'm not your wife anymore.
337
00:28:05,380 --> 00:28:08,090
Now to the station?
-Back to the hotel.
338
00:28:47,065 --> 00:28:49,579
You act like a cop that just
lost a conviction?
339
00:28:49,639 --> 00:28:52,877
Maybe I have, take a look at these.
Fresh out of the photo lab.
340
00:28:54,339 --> 00:28:56,808
Sharks don't talk, the
fingerprints spell Kelly.
341
00:28:56,868 --> 00:28:59,413
The Coroner said he was dead two
hours before he hit the water.
342
00:28:59,473 --> 00:29:01,807
Too bad. With the information
Kelly had for us
343
00:29:01,867 --> 00:29:04,186
we could have put Vince
away for a long stretch.
344
00:29:05,335 --> 00:29:07,066
What's eating you, Joe?
345
00:29:07,563 --> 00:29:09,295
I was a smart cop.
346
00:29:09,355 --> 00:29:12,712
I put Petey away to get him off of
Kelly's tail, and this is what happens.
347
00:29:12,772 --> 00:29:14,594
I feel like I killed Kelly.
348
00:29:14,654 --> 00:29:16,897
Riccardi...think he's tied up in it?
349
00:29:16,957 --> 00:29:19,909
Walking back into town that day
could tie him up in anything.
350
00:29:20,237 --> 00:29:22,706
Is the case my baby?
-All yours.
351
00:29:24,916 --> 00:29:26,301
Now what?
352
00:29:26,361 --> 00:29:28,936
I figure we shouldn't keep
it a secret from Vince.
353
00:29:40,844 --> 00:29:43,087
Only six days in the week now, huh?
354
00:29:43,455 --> 00:29:46,557
How do you like that, the card
must have fell out.
355
00:29:46,617 --> 00:29:48,604
It was there yesterday. Nick...
356
00:29:48,664 --> 00:29:50,125
Who's Jane Doe?
357
00:29:50,185 --> 00:29:52,817
Please, Lieutenant. I don't look
at their birth certificate.
358
00:29:52,877 --> 00:29:55,075
Lots of people don't use
their right names.
359
00:29:55,135 --> 00:29:59,002
With me, a buck is a buck.
I don't ask questions.
360
00:29:59,318 --> 00:30:02,435
Before I'm through, Nick...
you'll be answering a few.
361
00:30:08,026 --> 00:30:12,377
It's gettin' so you can't tail a guy anymore
without having the cops jump on ya.
362
00:30:12,437 --> 00:30:14,666
This town's goin' to the dogs.
363
00:30:14,981 --> 00:30:18,143
Samson and me...
-Petey! Get that cat off the desk!
364
00:30:18,776 --> 00:30:22,133
I was just saying, Samson and
me could stand a vacation.
365
00:30:22,389 --> 00:30:25,340
You want us to blow town?
-That's just what I don't want.
366
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,047
Coke will set you up, and stay quiet!
367
00:30:28,107 --> 00:30:30,667
Well, sure Vince, sure.
Anything you say.
368
00:31:05,567 --> 00:31:06,922
Hello, Danny.
369
00:31:16,370 --> 00:31:18,327
Come in. Come in, Joe.
370
00:31:18,674 --> 00:31:22,543
Pull up a chair and rest your feet.
I hear you've had a busy day.
371
00:31:26,329 --> 00:31:29,099
I figured you would.
I was saving you for last.
372
00:31:30,183 --> 00:31:31,644
Should I...
373
00:31:31,930 --> 00:31:33,993
relax or call in my lawyer?
374
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:36,698
That depends on how nervous you are.
375
00:31:36,758 --> 00:31:39,529
I was always thought nervous
guys bit their nails?
376
00:31:39,589 --> 00:31:41,095
Now, let me see...
377
00:31:41,317 --> 00:31:44,675
Nick was a little bit hazy about
who Jane Doe was.
378
00:31:44,946 --> 00:31:47,144
I thought you might be able to tell me.
379
00:31:47,336 --> 00:31:49,113
Never heard of the girl.
380
00:31:49,173 --> 00:31:50,634
Then there's Petey.
381
00:31:50,694 --> 00:31:54,654
And how certain people got know where
and just when to bail him out.
382
00:31:54,714 --> 00:31:57,014
Now...nobody knows anything.
383
00:31:57,421 --> 00:31:58,912
But, we'll find him.
384
00:31:59,273 --> 00:32:01,863
We;ve got all exits out of town plugged.
385
00:32:03,697 --> 00:32:06,483
And I got a hunch he'll
be real cooperative.
386
00:32:06,769 --> 00:32:08,063
You see...
387
00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:10,698
I don't think he knows
anything about this.
388
00:32:11,090 --> 00:32:12,249
Kelly.
389
00:32:12,798 --> 00:32:15,162
He's gone and gotten himself killed.
390
00:32:15,915 --> 00:32:17,571
Just like Kelly...
391
00:32:17,842 --> 00:32:19,920
You never know what he'll do next.
392
00:32:20,191 --> 00:32:21,983
That goes for a lot of guys.
393
00:32:22,449 --> 00:32:23,910
Take you and...
394
00:32:24,482 --> 00:32:26,529
Then again, take Eddie Riccardi...
395
00:32:26,589 --> 00:32:29,962
You boys forgive and forget,
and back in business again.
396
00:32:31,037 --> 00:32:34,485
You and Riccardi got a lot in common,
why don't you ask him?
397
00:32:34,545 --> 00:32:36,352
At the moment, you're number one.
398
00:32:36,623 --> 00:32:40,281
And, it won't be any...manslaughter
charge and out in two years.
399
00:32:41,076 --> 00:32:43,048
I put you away this time...
400
00:32:43,334 --> 00:32:44,840
it'll be for keeps.
401
00:32:47,035 --> 00:32:50,031
You got all the answers figured
out, haven't you?
402
00:32:50,091 --> 00:32:52,636
I might have, sooner than you think.
403
00:32:53,959 --> 00:32:55,479
So sorry!
404
00:33:35,693 --> 00:33:39,292
Me, I never had a complaint.
You call my old boss.
405
00:33:39,352 --> 00:33:42,115
He'll tell you my bringing in 500
a night at the gambling tables
406
00:33:42,175 --> 00:33:44,344
was a small bag of tell.
407
00:33:45,169 --> 00:33:48,993
Oh, Mr Alexander! I just came in looking
for a job and I was telling Ms Martin...
408
00:33:49,053 --> 00:33:50,378
Get rid of her.
409
00:33:51,278 --> 00:33:55,238
Vince, we need some new talent...
-Okay! Okay! Come back at eight tonight.
410
00:33:55,298 --> 00:33:58,324
She'll tell you what to do.
-Oh, gee! Thanks!
411
00:34:01,806 --> 00:34:03,899
You know Eddie's still in town?
412
00:34:05,013 --> 00:34:06,172
Yes.
413
00:34:06,353 --> 00:34:08,024
Been around to see you?
414
00:34:09,667 --> 00:34:10,796
When?
415
00:34:11,534 --> 00:34:13,266
Late last night.
416
00:34:14,184 --> 00:34:16,548
Did he tell ya I gave him
24 hours to get out?
417
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,249
No.
418
00:34:19,872 --> 00:34:22,793
Well, I changed my mind.
I want him to stay.
419
00:34:23,049 --> 00:34:25,142
I want you to make sure he does stay.
420
00:34:26,876 --> 00:34:29,827
My job's to work the tables
for you here, Vince, and...
421
00:34:30,324 --> 00:34:34,961
I don't even mind setups like the one with
Petey or...other deals like that, but...
422
00:34:36,439 --> 00:34:37,613
Vince...
423
00:34:38,336 --> 00:34:40,534
Stay out of my personal life!
424
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:42,311
Listen you...
425
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,041
When Eddie dropped you, who picked
you up and gave you your health?
426
00:34:46,101 --> 00:34:49,053
Who gave you your job?
Everything you got?
427
00:34:49,459 --> 00:34:51,206
Vince Alexander!
428
00:34:52,806 --> 00:34:54,538
I won't do it, Vince.
429
00:34:54,598 --> 00:34:55,923
Forget Eddie.
430
00:34:55,983 --> 00:34:57,639
When I get through with him.
431
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,717
But, now you're gonna meet him.
432
00:35:00,715 --> 00:35:03,440
And, I want you to make sure
he does stay in town.
433
00:35:34,220 --> 00:35:35,566
What'll it be?
434
00:35:35,626 --> 00:35:37,854
Did five years make you
forget that easily?
435
00:35:37,914 --> 00:35:41,016
I told you...in five years you
can forget a lot of things.
436
00:35:41,076 --> 00:35:43,064
Something for the lady?
-Rob Roy, please.
437
00:35:43,124 --> 00:35:44,491
The same.
438
00:35:48,131 --> 00:35:50,932
What made you change your mind
about seeing me again?
439
00:35:54,897 --> 00:35:58,210
You know, finding out I was married
to you kind of threw me.
440
00:35:58,992 --> 00:36:02,169
It was even something the boys at
the hospital used to rib me about.
441
00:36:02,564 --> 00:36:05,605
They had me fixed up with a
wife and four or five kids.
442
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:09,881
They didn't know how close the
gag came to being true.
443
00:36:11,474 --> 00:36:13,672
You still don't believe me, do you?
444
00:36:21,056 --> 00:36:25,236
Maybe this'll convince you it was Eddie
Rice that rang your doorbell last night.
445
00:36:26,537 --> 00:36:29,909
Call Dr Kemble at Letterman's
Hospital in San Francisco.
446
00:36:31,007 --> 00:36:33,025
He'll tell you the whole story.
447
00:36:38,141 --> 00:36:39,767
Tha cigarette case...
448
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,323
Doesn't it mean anything to you?
449
00:36:47,468 --> 00:36:48,868
Should it?
450
00:36:54,926 --> 00:36:57,350
Suppose I did believe you, then what?
451
00:36:59,488 --> 00:37:03,569
Then, I'd try and make you forget that
Eddie Riccardi was ever in your life.
452
00:37:04,476 --> 00:37:06,403
You think you can do that?
453
00:37:07,216 --> 00:37:08,737
Eddie Rice can.
454
00:37:20,823 --> 00:37:22,570
Eddie, leave town.
455
00:37:24,533 --> 00:37:27,228
Now you're talking like Vince.
-Maybe I was yesterday.
456
00:37:27,288 --> 00:37:30,492
Don't ask me why, but go.
-Nina, I don't frighten easily.
457
00:37:30,552 --> 00:37:33,353
You can take that message back to Vince.
Tell him I'm staying!
458
00:37:33,413 --> 00:37:36,816
That's what he wants you to do. That's
why I'm here, to keep you from leaving.
459
00:37:36,876 --> 00:37:38,740
I'd hate to disappoint him then.
460
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,895
Eddie, don't be stubborn, I know Vince.
He doesn't do anything without a reason.
461
00:37:43,964 --> 00:37:45,530
Neither do I.
462
00:37:47,802 --> 00:37:52,590
Stay then! Get yourself beaten up again,
or killed. Do anything you want.
463
00:38:35,782 --> 00:38:38,267
Riccardi.
-Very interesting.
464
00:38:47,205 --> 00:38:48,936
Scotch over water.
465
00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:53,136
Lose something, Charlie?
466
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,406
Tell Nina Martin, Eddie wants to see her.
-Eddie who?
467
00:38:59,658 --> 00:39:01,103
Just Eddie.
468
00:39:01,630 --> 00:39:03,060
Wait here.
469
00:39:11,467 --> 00:39:12,943
What'll I need?
470
00:39:13,003 --> 00:39:15,653
A thousand might bring you luck.
-A thousand?
471
00:39:15,894 --> 00:39:17,475
Give me a thousand.
472
00:39:24,925 --> 00:39:27,891
A character called Eddie's outside,
wants to see you.
473
00:39:27,951 --> 00:39:29,412
Eddie here?
474
00:39:29,788 --> 00:39:31,204
Get rid of him!
475
00:39:31,425 --> 00:39:33,668
That's not what Vince had in mind.
476
00:39:43,422 --> 00:39:44,972
All right, come on.
477
00:39:53,097 --> 00:39:54,663
6...9...12!
478
00:39:54,919 --> 00:39:56,636
All bets down.
479
00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:04,549
It's a nice layout. Vince ought to be
able to pick up some fast money.
480
00:40:04,609 --> 00:40:07,063
You're crazy to come walking in here.
481
00:40:07,123 --> 00:40:09,273
Maybe I'm just hard to convince.
482
00:40:10,477 --> 00:40:12,374
My dressing room is back there.
483
00:40:13,925 --> 00:40:16,590
I'll be back before the
wheel stops turning.
484
00:40:34,853 --> 00:40:35,973
Yeah?
485
00:40:37,478 --> 00:40:38,939
Okay, thanks.
486
00:40:43,645 --> 00:40:45,813
So, she wanted to get rid of him.
487
00:40:47,179 --> 00:40:50,040
I wonder if that dame is trying
to pull a double cross.
488
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,129
Get down to the Golden Horn and pick up
Eddie Riccardi, you'll find him with Nina.
489
00:40:55,189 --> 00:40:56,270
Just him?
490
00:40:56,571 --> 00:40:57,746
Just him.
491
00:40:58,197 --> 00:41:00,110
I'll get around to her later.
492
00:41:03,747 --> 00:41:05,569
I started to leave...
493
00:41:05,794 --> 00:41:08,309
but I kept thinking about
everything you told me.
494
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,230
If I'd of left I'd been all the
things you said I was.
495
00:41:11,727 --> 00:41:13,232
So, I'm staying.
496
00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:17,505
And, I'm taking you out of here.
497
00:41:18,498 --> 00:41:19,673
Nina.
498
00:41:21,043 --> 00:41:23,436
We could have a decent life together.
499
00:41:26,553 --> 00:41:28,465
You got it all figured out.
500
00:41:31,452 --> 00:41:36,089
Well, you're not taking me anywhere.
You pushed me into this life and I like it.
501
00:41:36,481 --> 00:41:41,374
I'm top bait around here steering nice,
fat, pigeons to the gambling table.
502
00:41:41,434 --> 00:41:46,174
I'm one of Vince's kind now and I'm keeping
my life and my job just the way they are.
503
00:41:46,234 --> 00:41:48,026
No matter what I have to do!
504
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:49,934
Come on.
505
00:41:59,090 --> 00:42:00,144
Thanks.
506
00:42:10,804 --> 00:42:13,469
Now, how about some champagne?
507
00:42:14,389 --> 00:42:17,581
Excuse me for a minute, honey.
I forgot I got to call my wife.
508
00:42:32,729 --> 00:42:35,048
Williams, Homicide.
Yeah, Barnes.
509
00:42:36,509 --> 00:42:37,653
Yeah!
510
00:42:38,586 --> 00:42:39,881
Thanks a lot!
511
00:42:40,377 --> 00:42:41,898
What's exciting?
512
00:42:50,385 --> 00:42:54,646
I said, what's exciting? Or, don't
you want to wake me up?
513
00:42:55,138 --> 00:42:59,113
Barnes casing the Golden Horn for vice
intel, tells me Riccardi just walked in.
514
00:42:59,805 --> 00:43:01,266
Trouble maybe?
515
00:43:01,717 --> 00:43:04,924
I could think of plenty of reasons why
there might be for Eddie Rice.
516
00:43:05,478 --> 00:43:07,300
You'll hear from me later.
517
00:43:25,961 --> 00:43:28,189
How you coming with that
Kelly report, Ben?
518
00:43:28,249 --> 00:43:30,945
Just finishing up for you.
-Okay, I'll wait.
519
00:43:33,515 --> 00:43:36,586
Somebody must've believed in that
old gag about an apple a day.
520
00:43:36,646 --> 00:43:40,513
Yeah, but they didn't know it would pin
a murder on them. -Quite an appetite.
521
00:43:40,573 --> 00:43:43,253
Psychological, it creates
a false hunger.
522
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:50,156
Well, here you are, Joe.
I can go home now.
523
00:43:50,216 --> 00:43:53,454
Thanks a lot, Ben. See you tomorrow.
-Okay, see ya tomorrow.
524
00:44:06,875 --> 00:44:07,778
Yeah?
525
00:44:07,838 --> 00:44:10,970
I'm interested in Eddie Riccardi,
not in what's going on in there.
526
00:44:11,030 --> 00:44:13,680
We don't know from Riccardi.
-I do, open up.
527
00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:18,240
Place your bets, folks. Place your
bets. Bet high/low...odd or even.
528
00:44:38,711 --> 00:44:39,795
Yes?
529
00:44:39,990 --> 00:44:43,438
Miss Martin? Williams, Homicide.
May I come in please?
530
00:44:43,732 --> 00:44:44,982
Come in.
531
00:44:47,432 --> 00:44:50,820
Eddie was just picked up by Danny.
-Where'd he take him?
532
00:44:52,557 --> 00:44:54,424
You'll hear from me later.
533
00:45:14,826 --> 00:45:16,377
You know, Williams?
534
00:45:17,054 --> 00:45:19,524
I'm not used to cops with insomnia.
535
00:45:20,201 --> 00:45:22,791
What's on your mind?
-It won't take long.
536
00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:25,960
Danny picked up Eddie Riccardi.
Where are they?
537
00:45:27,537 --> 00:45:29,329
You're in an awful rut.
538
00:45:29,540 --> 00:45:31,497
Always asking questions.
539
00:45:31,557 --> 00:45:33,846
All right...let's start over.
540
00:45:34,581 --> 00:45:37,306
Eddie was at the Golden Horn
with Nina Martin.
541
00:45:37,366 --> 00:45:39,685
Suddenly, he wasn't there anymore.
542
00:45:40,208 --> 00:45:41,368
So...
543
00:45:41,578 --> 00:45:44,018
So...I don't mind waiting.
544
00:45:45,900 --> 00:45:48,053
While we kill a little time...
545
00:45:49,429 --> 00:45:51,176
This might interest you.
546
00:46:01,803 --> 00:46:05,733
And, after we pick up Riccardi...
we're going down to police headquarters.
547
00:46:06,034 --> 00:46:08,579
You're gonna have a manicure...on me.
548
00:46:10,294 --> 00:46:13,380
You know, you're gonna look awful
silly when I get through with you.
549
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,819
If I'm wrong...I'll apologize.
550
00:46:21,050 --> 00:46:23,264
Say hello, nothing more.
551
00:46:25,733 --> 00:46:26,862
Hello.
552
00:46:27,674 --> 00:46:31,408
Vince, we're at the shop. Do we
stay or bring Riccardi up there?
553
00:46:32,507 --> 00:46:34,238
Tell him you'll be down.
554
00:46:52,464 --> 00:46:53,699
Okay, Coke...
555
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,385
<i>Bring him up here.</i>
556
00:47:28,724 --> 00:47:30,530
What do you want now?
557
00:47:41,819 --> 00:47:44,605
Just when he was coming up
in the department.
558
00:49:14,591 --> 00:49:15,886
Car 9-4
559
00:49:15,946 --> 00:49:17,813
9-4 to Control-4.
560
00:49:17,873 --> 00:49:20,252
<i>Clear Frequency-4, this is an emergency.</i>
561
00:49:20,312 --> 00:49:23,126
Control-4 to 94, go ahead.
562
00:49:23,186 --> 00:49:25,099
<i>Car 94 to Control-4</i>
563
00:49:25,159 --> 00:49:29,209
<i>Notify the Homicide Bureau, we have found
the body of Lt Williams in his car.</i>
564
00:49:29,269 --> 00:49:31,133
At Sepulveda and Sunset.
565
00:50:17,423 --> 00:50:18,763
Give you a lift, son?
566
00:50:18,823 --> 00:50:21,485
Thanks, I had a little accident
back up a side road.
567
00:50:21,545 --> 00:50:24,556
I have to go to town, get a tow car.
-Anybody killed?
568
00:50:27,016 --> 00:50:29,561
No luck at all tonight.
Hop in.
569
00:50:39,349 --> 00:50:42,090
Bet you thought I wouldn't stop
to pick you up, didn't you?
570
00:50:42,150 --> 00:50:43,638
I didn't know.
571
00:50:43,698 --> 00:50:45,113
It's late.
-See...
572
00:50:45,173 --> 00:50:49,130
That's why I fooled you. Have me orders.
Pick up anybody, anytime.
573
00:50:49,747 --> 00:50:51,870
Green Acres Morticians policy.
574
00:50:52,094 --> 00:50:54,698
Live today...maybe a customer tomorrow.
575
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,400
Pays off too.
576
00:50:56,460 --> 00:50:59,848
Most people remember the nice things
you do for them while they're living.
577
00:50:59,908 --> 00:51:03,864
We sure don't get any complaints about our
service from them after they're dead.
578
00:51:03,924 --> 00:51:05,927
Their family, that is.
579
00:51:07,423 --> 00:51:09,441
That accident hurt you any?
580
00:51:10,992 --> 00:51:13,069
Got a match?
-Sure do.
581
00:51:19,645 --> 00:51:21,813
Police, ambulance and everything.
582
00:51:22,114 --> 00:51:24,312
I wonder if I'm losing any customers?
583
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:40,902
Finished with Joe's stuff yet?
-Still working on it.
584
00:51:43,326 --> 00:51:44,816
It's too bad...
585
00:51:45,434 --> 00:51:48,460
Joe's wife sure liked him
in that suit too.
586
00:52:13,311 --> 00:52:16,021
Any line on Riccardi yet?
-Nothing, Captain.
587
00:52:16,081 --> 00:52:19,710
Keep trying, he's the last one who
might of seen Joe. -Okay.
588
00:52:20,197 --> 00:52:21,718
Eddie Riccardi.
589
00:52:24,187 --> 00:52:26,445
Guess Williams was right after all.
590
00:52:26,701 --> 00:52:28,538
Riccardi or Rice.
591
00:52:28,826 --> 00:52:32,530
A Silver Star and a dumb look doesn't
change a no good heel.
592
00:52:33,147 --> 00:52:36,173
Attention all units!
Attention all units!
593
00:52:36,233 --> 00:52:40,175
Be on the lookout for the following
<i>described suspect, wanted for murder:</i>
594
00:52:40,551 --> 00:52:43,322
<i>Eddie Riccardi, alias Eddie Rice,</i>
595
00:52:43,589 --> 00:52:46,164
<i>White male, American,</i>
596
00:52:46,224 --> 00:52:49,341
<i>Age 33, 6 foot 2.</i>
597
00:52:49,729 --> 00:52:51,506
<i>190 lbs...</i>
598
00:52:51,957 --> 00:52:53,312
<i>Dark brown...</i>
599
00:52:53,659 --> 00:52:55,944
You phone the cops and do 'em a favor,
600
00:52:56,004 --> 00:53:00,024
where to find a dead cop and the guy
that did it, and what happens...
601
00:53:05,972 --> 00:53:08,035
The first stop is Nina Martin's.
602
00:53:08,276 --> 00:53:10,474
I want Eddie before the cops get him.
603
00:53:10,730 --> 00:53:12,913
Then they can have him for a present.
604
00:53:14,334 --> 00:53:15,915
And alive!
605
00:53:32,066 --> 00:53:33,843
Eddie!
-Shut up!
606
00:53:34,168 --> 00:53:36,065
Get those lights out!
607
00:53:37,285 --> 00:53:39,152
Eddie, what happened?
608
00:53:40,533 --> 00:53:43,951
You certainly did a neat job
of tying me into a murder.
609
00:53:44,011 --> 00:53:46,089
Joe Williams was killed tonight.
610
00:53:46,149 --> 00:53:47,901
You?
-I don't know.
611
00:53:47,961 --> 00:53:51,138
The last thing I remember was being slugged
over the head at Vince Alexander's.
612
00:53:51,198 --> 00:53:53,713
I know you think that...
-I haven't got time to think!
613
00:53:53,773 --> 00:53:57,811
All I want is a few bucks, your car and
you in my sight till I get out of here!
614
00:53:57,871 --> 00:53:59,874
Eddie, you've got to believe me!
615
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:01,335
Believe?
616
00:54:01,656 --> 00:54:03,508
Like you believed me?
617
00:54:03,885 --> 00:54:05,661
Give me the keys!
618
00:54:10,271 --> 00:54:14,017
Eddie! This is why I turned on you
tonight, to get you away from Vince.
619
00:54:14,077 --> 00:54:16,992
The keys are in the car, you go,
I'll try to stall them off.
620
00:54:17,224 --> 00:54:19,468
And get a bullet in the back of my head?
621
00:54:19,528 --> 00:54:22,404
Oh, Eddie! You've got to trust me,
it's your only chance.
622
00:54:24,815 --> 00:54:26,091
Quick!
623
00:54:26,444 --> 00:54:28,043
The garage.
624
00:55:25,770 --> 00:55:29,188
This is where you get out. -Go to the
police, Eddie. Before it's too late.
625
00:55:29,248 --> 00:55:32,400
With my fingerprints all over the
gun and all over Williams car?
626
00:55:32,460 --> 00:55:35,257
I wouldn't last long enough to walk
to the nearest police station.
627
00:55:35,317 --> 00:55:38,133
If I did what could I tell them?
Now out!
628
00:55:38,788 --> 00:55:41,737
You want me to go home and wait
for Vince to come back again?
629
00:55:41,797 --> 00:55:45,800
That's something Eddie Riccardo would
tell me to do, not Eddie Rice.
630
00:55:49,139 --> 00:55:50,606
All right.
631
00:56:06,538 --> 00:56:07,668
Stop.
632
00:56:11,312 --> 00:56:13,997
Keep your lights off and
the motor running.
633
00:56:57,233 --> 00:56:59,889
Well, now you've got a gun! What next?
634
00:57:01,213 --> 00:57:04,044
I didn't ask for any killings,
so I'm in the middle.
635
00:57:04,528 --> 00:57:07,711
But, I'm not going to be a clay
pigeon for Vince Alexander.
636
00:57:08,308 --> 00:57:10,513
You can't prove anything dead.
637
00:57:10,573 --> 00:57:14,597
That would make Vince very happy,
something I wouldn't want to let happen.
638
00:57:15,047 --> 00:57:18,758
Is there any place we could go, someone
you can trust to put us up for the night?
639
00:57:18,818 --> 00:57:20,299
I need time.
640
00:57:21,747 --> 00:57:23,404
Maybe there is.
641
00:57:23,464 --> 00:57:25,443
It's a long chance, but...
642
00:57:28,917 --> 00:57:31,763
You don't think you're going to
get away with this, do you?
643
00:57:32,276 --> 00:57:34,477
We're staying here till tomorrow.
644
00:57:42,766 --> 00:57:46,004
Stay away from that phone!
If it rings, let it keep ringing!
645
00:57:46,064 --> 00:57:48,953
Get rid of anybody who comes to
the door, I'll be right behind you
646
00:57:49,013 --> 00:57:50,845
in case you give the wrong answers.
647
00:57:55,517 --> 00:57:58,539
What about the girl's place?
-There and gone.
648
00:57:58,599 --> 00:58:02,705
Get a teletype out on her car immediately,
have it re-broadcast every half hour.
649
00:58:08,211 --> 00:58:10,661
I want roadblocks at all these points.
650
00:58:10,721 --> 00:58:12,705
I want the airport, the railroad station,
651
00:58:12,765 --> 00:58:15,536
all the bus terminals put
under a 24 surveillance.
652
00:58:15,596 --> 00:58:18,001
I want every hotel and
flophouse notified.
653
00:58:18,061 --> 00:58:20,818
They're in this town somewhere
and they're not getting out.
654
00:58:21,019 --> 00:58:22,354
One other thing...
655
00:58:22,414 --> 00:58:26,887
We picked up Riccardi's fingerprints on
that gun shop. He's got a gun now.
656
00:58:27,294 --> 00:58:29,421
Don't give him a chance to use it!
657
00:58:29,481 --> 00:58:31,284
All right, start moving.
658
00:58:31,344 --> 00:58:33,908
<i>The police tightened its dragnet
about the city today.</i>
659
00:58:33,968 --> 00:58:36,988
<i>Riccardi escaped just as the police
were ready to close in on him</i>
660
00:58:37,048 --> 00:58:39,197
<i>after they received an
anonymous phone call</i>
661
00:58:39,257 --> 00:58:42,292
<i>which led them to discover the murdered
body of one of their men today.</i>
662
00:58:42,352 --> 00:58:44,067
<i>Every available man...</i>
663
00:58:47,714 --> 00:58:49,958
We'll wait till it's dark
and get out of here.
664
00:58:50,018 --> 00:58:52,423
You couldn't arrange to
drop dead before then?
665
00:58:52,483 --> 00:58:55,606
Hazel, you've got to believe us.
Eddie didn't do it!
666
00:58:55,897 --> 00:58:57,936
He should still drop dead.
667
00:58:58,269 --> 00:58:59,604
Twice.
668
01:00:12,318 --> 01:00:13,477
Coke!
669
01:00:36,274 --> 01:00:38,401
Get me a couple of clean towels.
670
01:00:42,231 --> 01:00:43,771
It's pretty bad.
671
01:00:44,739 --> 01:00:49,052
I'll have you out of here in a minute,
we'll find a doctor. -Go to the police.
672
01:00:49,497 --> 01:00:51,448
Eddie, go to the police.
673
01:00:53,848 --> 01:00:55,961
Your car in the garage?
-Yes.
674
01:00:56,021 --> 01:00:58,704
Where are your keys?
-In my purse.
675
01:00:58,764 --> 01:01:00,288
Take care of her.
676
01:01:22,875 --> 01:01:23,843
Thanks.
677
01:01:23,903 --> 01:01:26,748
I'll have the doctor come right
in the moment he returns.
678
01:01:38,651 --> 01:01:40,602
Light me a cigarette.
679
01:02:02,498 --> 01:02:04,288
You're far away.
680
01:02:06,205 --> 01:02:07,614
How far?
681
01:02:09,418 --> 01:02:10,885
Five years.
682
01:02:11,545 --> 01:02:13,041
A lifetime.
683
01:02:14,259 --> 01:02:15,961
Beyond that, a blank.
684
01:02:17,162 --> 01:02:18,879
Me too, Eddie.
685
01:02:18,939 --> 01:02:21,270
Only, it's been a different
kind of a blank.
686
01:02:21,798 --> 01:02:24,453
It's being pushed back
to Eddie Riccardi.
687
01:02:24,937 --> 01:02:26,184
This.
688
01:02:26,811 --> 01:02:30,215
The whole past that keeps me
from being like other people.
689
01:02:30,992 --> 01:02:32,763
Now all that's left is
690
01:02:32,823 --> 01:02:36,460
wondering what it would be like if there
had only been an Eddie Rice.
691
01:02:38,540 --> 01:02:41,287
If I'd of just met you
for the first time.
692
01:02:43,087 --> 01:02:45,508
Eddie Rice can have that.
693
01:02:48,248 --> 01:02:50,610
Oh, you're...good, Eddie.
694
01:02:51,681 --> 01:02:53,368
You're good.
695
01:02:54,934 --> 01:02:57,622
You've taken away the hate in me.
696
01:02:58,176 --> 01:02:59,995
Destroyed it.
697
01:03:01,946 --> 01:03:03,912
You're...good, Eddie.
698
01:03:07,874 --> 01:03:10,573
When a baby wants to be born,
hours don't matter!
699
01:03:10,633 --> 01:03:12,554
7 poundsd 7ounces...a boy.
700
01:03:12,614 --> 01:03:14,549
Doctor, her shoulder...
701
01:03:29,779 --> 01:03:31,760
I can't treat gun wounds.
702
01:03:31,820 --> 01:03:34,679
She'll have to go to the police
emergency hospital.
703
01:03:34,739 --> 01:03:36,179
I don't think so.
704
01:03:36,239 --> 01:03:39,260
I'm sorry, but I've got to report
this to the police.
705
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:40,624
Doctor.
706
01:03:41,138 --> 01:03:43,191
That report to the police...
707
01:03:43,539 --> 01:03:44,918
It'll wait.
708
01:03:45,123 --> 01:03:47,368
If you want to pull that
trigger, go ahead.
709
01:03:49,535 --> 01:03:51,603
Police headquarters, please.
710
01:03:53,055 --> 01:03:56,092
Put that gun away! I said I was
going to call the police.
711
01:03:56,293 --> 01:03:57,775
Police headquarters?
712
01:03:57,980 --> 01:04:00,914
This is Dr Stacey, 93 Chestnut Street.
713
01:04:01,174 --> 01:04:03,492
Send an ambulance and a squad car.
714
01:04:09,003 --> 01:04:10,602
How bad is it?
715
01:04:14,534 --> 01:04:16,118
She'll be all right.
716
01:04:18,447 --> 01:04:20,262
You'd better leave.
717
01:04:27,035 --> 01:04:30,805
Eddie, I'm scared...I'm scared...
-Take it easy, you'll be all right.
718
01:04:30,865 --> 01:04:33,341
Not for me, for you.
-Listen...
719
01:04:33,531 --> 01:04:37,507
I'm leaving you for a little while.
I've got an idea, it might work.
720
01:04:37,567 --> 01:04:39,672
Something very important.
721
01:04:40,214 --> 01:04:44,395
You knew all about me. The people
I used to know, the places I went.
722
01:04:44,699 --> 01:04:46,855
Think for me, go back five years.
723
01:04:46,915 --> 01:04:51,110
Who was there? Just one person.
Give me the answers, quick!
724
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,289
What you say is my only chance,
the only chance I've got.
725
01:04:54,349 --> 01:04:58,231
The only one left is...Petey.
He can't be trusted with Vince.
726
01:04:58,291 --> 01:05:01,337
Where will I find him?
-Not him, he's... -Tell me!
727
01:05:01,759 --> 01:05:04,457
Two, three places on Main Street.
728
01:05:05,198 --> 01:05:07,034
Fourth and Main...
729
01:05:07,094 --> 01:05:10,091
And after Nina ran in front of him,
Coke never had a chance.
730
01:05:10,151 --> 01:05:11,748
That Eddie sure didn't miss.
731
01:05:11,808 --> 01:05:14,345
Coke took three, went right through
his breakfast, lunch and supper.
732
01:05:14,405 --> 01:05:16,575
Anybody come around, ask any questions?
733
01:05:16,635 --> 01:05:19,900
None I couldn't answer, Vince.
-Get back down and keep him company.
734
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,570
But...but, the police?
-That's exactly what I want!
735
01:05:22,630 --> 01:05:25,559
Tell him how Riccardi broke into your
apartment, found Coke there
736
01:05:25,619 --> 01:05:28,727
pulled his gun and fired. Now do
what I told you, just that!
737
01:05:29,035 --> 01:05:31,250
All right, Vince.
-Take her back!
738
01:05:35,048 --> 01:05:37,293
Eddie's got to find a doctor somewhere.
739
01:05:37,484 --> 01:05:39,581
And, if he does what I think, he'll...
740
01:05:39,772 --> 01:05:42,295
dump the girl...and start looking
for a hidewaway.
741
01:05:43,785 --> 01:05:44,973
Get going!
742
01:05:45,033 --> 01:05:48,039
Spread the news I got a personal
interest in Eddie Riccardi.
743
01:05:48,099 --> 01:05:50,870
I don't want anything to happen
to him...until I get there.
744
01:05:51,389 --> 01:05:53,443
Unless the cops get him first.
745
01:05:54,467 --> 01:05:57,841
You through with him, Doc?
-Yup. He was a fine specimen.
746
01:05:57,901 --> 01:06:00,041
Would have had a long life
if this hadn't happened.
747
01:06:00,101 --> 01:06:02,051
I'll send you my report in the morning.
748
01:06:05,694 --> 01:06:08,335
I'm sure you don't mind coming
downtown, Miss Downs?
749
01:06:08,395 --> 01:06:10,477
Well, I...
-I thought not.
750
01:06:12,659 --> 01:06:14,859
What'd you find?
-It was them all right.
751
01:06:14,919 --> 01:06:17,471
Riccardi left the doctor's office
about 30 minutes ago
752
01:06:17,531 --> 01:06:20,830
Notify Communications? -They're blanketing
the whole area. -The girl?
753
01:06:20,890 --> 01:06:25,608
County Jail Hospital. Still out, whether
she's playing it safe or just not talking.
754
01:06:25,668 --> 01:06:29,085
Keep Melon there, the minute she comes
out, I want to know. -Any ideas?
755
01:06:29,145 --> 01:06:31,970
Lots! We need Riccardi to
explain some of them.
756
01:06:32,157 --> 01:06:34,196
If he lives that long.
757
01:06:38,347 --> 01:06:41,120
Hello. I'm looking for Petey,
have you seen him?
758
01:06:42,691 --> 01:06:44,671
Do you know where to find him?
759
01:06:57,552 --> 01:07:00,780
<i>Nina said three or four places,
I must have hit twenty.</i>
760
01:07:01,245 --> 01:07:03,196
<i>And every answer the same.</i>
761
01:07:03,710 --> 01:07:04,810
<i>No.</i>
762
01:07:05,803 --> 01:07:08,605
<i>The shake of their head,
a frightened face.</i>
763
01:07:10,111 --> 01:07:14,043
<i>They knew where I could find what I was
looking for, but they wouldn't talk.</i>
764
01:07:14,483 --> 01:07:16,141
<i>They were scared.</i>
765
01:08:08,257 --> 01:08:11,660
But, Vince! Appreciate the fact
that at least I called you.
766
01:08:11,961 --> 01:08:14,015
I let him stay, it's another rap.
767
01:08:14,075 --> 01:08:17,623
Another rap, I get life! You've
got to appreciate that!
768
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,296
And I'd appreciate it if you'd
tell me where to find Petey.
769
01:08:24,044 --> 01:08:25,306
Right now!
770
01:08:25,366 --> 01:08:26,758
Sure, Eddie.
771
01:08:27,096 --> 01:08:28,152
Sure.
772
01:08:34,841 --> 01:08:36,822
Ocean Boulevard and 25th.
773
01:09:43,996 --> 01:09:46,490
Who's there? Who is it?
-Eddie.
774
01:09:47,355 --> 01:09:48,910
Eddie Riccardi.
775
01:09:49,277 --> 01:09:52,886
Oh, Eddie boy. Every cop in the
city is out gunning for you!
776
01:09:53,350 --> 01:09:55,403
Maybe you don't care if you live...
777
01:09:55,711 --> 01:09:57,604
I got a few more years left!
778
01:09:57,839 --> 01:09:59,526
Open the door, Petey.
779
01:10:00,083 --> 01:10:01,799
You're dead if you don't.
780
01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:04,769
All right, Eddie.
781
01:10:12,804 --> 01:10:15,914
You didn't think I'd leave you out
there in the cold, did you Eddie?
782
01:10:16,545 --> 01:10:20,550
Five years, no see! But, you sure got
a hot fire burning under you, huh?
783
01:10:21,019 --> 01:10:22,105
Yeah.
784
01:10:24,891 --> 01:10:26,900
You need a pal, a friend.
785
01:10:30,025 --> 01:10:32,240
Sure, I need a friend, Petey.
786
01:10:32,483 --> 01:10:36,263
Look, old friend... Will you...will
you put that mouthpiece away?
787
01:10:36,323 --> 01:10:39,153
Somehow I...I still believe they go off!
788
01:10:39,926 --> 01:10:42,669
And, Samson my cat, you remember my cat?
789
01:10:44,180 --> 01:10:46,439
He's not feeling too good again.
790
01:10:46,949 --> 01:10:49,545
You stay careful and
nothing will happen.
791
01:10:49,605 --> 01:10:53,110
Oh sure. Sure, Eddie. You're
talking to Petey, remember?
792
01:10:53,340 --> 01:10:55,746
Any objections to my moving in with you?
793
01:10:56,025 --> 01:10:58,416
I'll be gone, tomorrow or the next day.
794
01:10:58,476 --> 01:11:01,771
Oh, me? Turn away practically,
my own flesh and blood?
795
01:11:03,341 --> 01:11:04,822
Relax, Eddie.
796
01:11:08,491 --> 01:11:11,308
There you are, Eddie. Nothing's
too good for you.
797
01:11:12,355 --> 01:11:16,154
How about some food, Petey?
I haven't eaten all night.
798
01:11:16,536 --> 01:11:18,370
You haven't changed a bit.
799
01:11:18,590 --> 01:11:20,086
Always hungry!
800
01:11:20,146 --> 01:11:22,022
Still tied up with Vince?
801
01:11:24,002 --> 01:11:27,670
I do a little private eyeing on the side.
A job here, a job there.
802
01:11:28,007 --> 01:11:29,284
Nothing big.
803
01:11:31,150 --> 01:11:32,705
I'll telephone.
804
01:11:43,749 --> 01:11:47,358
Hello, friend? Petey! I got
a special customer.
805
01:11:47,828 --> 01:11:49,852
Yeah. Yeah, an old one.
806
01:11:50,881 --> 01:11:54,094
How about sending something over?
He's tired and hungry.
807
01:11:54,813 --> 01:11:56,778
A pot of coffee and a sandwich.
808
01:11:56,969 --> 01:11:58,011
Turkey.
809
01:11:58,266 --> 01:11:59,352
Tongue
810
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:01,684
Egg salad combination.
811
01:12:02,638 --> 01:12:04,442
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
812
01:12:05,543 --> 01:12:06,863
You got it.
813
01:12:12,752 --> 01:12:16,068
You see, Eddie? Everything's
just like old times.
814
01:12:16,655 --> 01:12:18,474
If you say so, Petey.
815
01:12:20,114 --> 01:12:21,948
I'm gettin' kinda sleepy.
816
01:12:22,271 --> 01:12:25,308
You just make yourself at home,
food will be along pretty soon.
817
01:12:25,368 --> 01:12:28,183
Vince has gotten to be a big
man the last five years.
818
01:12:28,675 --> 01:12:31,168
I'm really gettin' pretty tired, friend.
819
01:12:31,228 --> 01:12:33,457
Why don't you bring me
up to date, Petey?
820
01:12:33,517 --> 01:12:35,247
I'm really awful tired, friend!
821
01:12:35,307 --> 01:12:37,501
How long will it take Vince to get here?
822
01:12:37,971 --> 01:12:40,861
Eddie...Eddie, you...you embarrass me.
823
01:12:41,135 --> 01:12:43,834
I'll kill you if you don't give
it to me straight, Petey!
824
01:12:43,894 --> 01:12:47,047
Eddie...Eddie, don't talk like that.
Samson's sick!
825
01:12:47,543 --> 01:12:50,403
I'm telling you, Eddie!
-What are you telling me? How long?
826
01:12:50,463 --> 01:12:53,557
Five minutes? Ten? Fifteen minutes?
Twenty minutes?
827
01:12:54,096 --> 01:12:57,015
About...about fifteen minutes, Eddie.
828
01:12:57,323 --> 01:13:00,902
Vince puts you on the spot!
He's that way with all the boys!
829
01:13:01,162 --> 01:13:04,781
Blow Eddie! Take me with you.
You and me was always friends!
830
01:13:04,841 --> 01:13:08,273
You just stay in front of me and keep your
mouth shut and you won't get into trouble.
831
01:13:08,333 --> 01:13:11,265
Sure, Eddie! You got nothing
to worry about from me.
832
01:13:11,325 --> 01:13:14,361
Just stay my friend, Petey.
-Yeah, Eddie.
833
01:13:27,837 --> 01:13:29,935
You're retired, you can go home now.
834
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:32,601
Your friend want a ride?
-Not tonight.
835
01:13:34,995 --> 01:13:36,151
$2.80
836
01:13:36,711 --> 01:13:39,616
This will get you a thousand.
Come on, Petey.
837
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,005
Take care of Petey.
838
01:15:45,187 --> 01:15:46,434
Eddie!
839
01:15:46,625 --> 01:15:48,165
Let's get out of here!
840
01:15:49,661 --> 01:15:51,158
Go ahead, Petey.
841
01:15:51,610 --> 01:15:52,974
Thanks, Eddie.
842
01:15:54,148 --> 01:15:55,615
They're coming!
843
01:18:02,988 --> 01:18:04,191
Eddie.
844
01:18:04,792 --> 01:18:06,274
Can you hear me?
845
01:18:09,079 --> 01:18:10,898
We can make a break.
846
01:18:11,558 --> 01:18:13,319
Cover for each other.
847
01:18:14,096 --> 01:18:15,739
I got a place.
848
01:18:17,148 --> 01:18:18,820
You and me, Eddie.
849
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,342
We'll start up again.
850
01:18:22,914 --> 01:18:25,056
Just like old times.
851
01:18:30,072 --> 01:18:31,671
I got money, Eddie.
852
01:18:32,992 --> 01:18:34,327
Big money!
853
01:18:37,521 --> 01:18:39,355
Samson! Samson!
854
01:18:39,986 --> 01:18:41,159
Samson!
855
01:18:43,096 --> 01:18:44,841
Petey! Come back!
856
01:18:46,807 --> 01:18:47,908
Samson.
857
01:18:48,318 --> 01:18:50,446
Samson, baby. Samson.
858
01:19:47,773 --> 01:19:50,091
Riccardi! Alexander!
859
01:19:50,292 --> 01:19:53,813
We'll give you three minutes to come out.
We're gonna start counting.
860
01:19:54,135 --> 01:19:57,920
At the end of three minutes if you're
not out, we're coming to get you!
861
01:19:58,429 --> 01:20:00,600
This is your last chance, Eddie.
862
01:20:01,862 --> 01:20:04,121
There's just you and me left now.
863
01:20:04,181 --> 01:20:05,676
No deal, Vince.
864
01:20:06,455 --> 01:20:08,538
I know you killed Joe Williams.
865
01:20:08,978 --> 01:20:10,357
Okay...
866
01:20:11,516 --> 01:20:13,071
No deals.
867
01:21:51,795 --> 01:21:54,993
We want you, Riccardi..
Alive, Alexander!
868
01:21:55,595 --> 01:21:58,646
If you're in there and not wounded,
bring Riccardi out.
869
01:21:59,653 --> 01:22:03,761
You, Riccardi! If you're alone, come
out with your hands in the air!
870
01:22:06,712 --> 01:22:09,176
Here's when you and I part company.
871
01:22:09,396 --> 01:22:12,081
You're gonna get paid off in full.
872
01:22:41,345 --> 01:22:43,574
Thanks for bringing him out, Vince.
873
01:22:43,853 --> 01:22:47,169
Now, drop your gun.
I said drop your gun, Vince!
874
01:22:49,233 --> 01:22:51,932
Eddie will take what I
got first, Anderson!
875
01:22:54,015 --> 01:22:56,568
All police officers hold your fire!
876
01:22:57,552 --> 01:22:59,532
Don't be crazy, Alexander.
877
01:22:59,899 --> 01:23:02,774
There have been enough people killed.
Give yourself up.
878
01:23:02,834 --> 01:23:04,491
No bargains, Anderson!
879
01:23:04,551 --> 01:23:06,487
You want Riccardi alive...
880
01:23:06,547 --> 01:23:07,866
I want out!
881
01:23:07,926 --> 01:23:10,682
What guarantee have I got that
you won't kill Riccardi?
882
01:23:10,742 --> 01:23:13,250
You don't!
-Be sensible, Alexander.
883
01:23:13,979 --> 01:23:16,854
If we let you out now,
we'll get you later.
884
01:23:17,089 --> 01:23:19,040
You'll be dead before morning.
885
01:23:19,245 --> 01:23:21,930
You got 30 seconds to make
up your mind, Anderson!
886
01:23:22,688 --> 01:23:24,053
I go...
887
01:23:24,361 --> 01:23:26,415
or Riccardi gets it in the back!
888
01:23:29,595 --> 01:23:31,388
Sat down, Eddie! Don't move!
889
01:24:05,464 --> 01:24:06,711
Is he dead?
890
01:24:06,771 --> 01:24:09,234
He will be if we don't get
him to a hospital.
891
01:24:15,716 --> 01:24:19,090
That taxi driver must have really
gotten to you in a hurry.
892
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,980
He did, asking for a $1000 reward.
893
01:24:22,337 --> 01:24:26,826
And all the questions you want to ask...
I called Dr Kemble from San Francisco.
894
01:24:27,149 --> 01:24:31,242
We knew Vince killed Jow Williams,
we found his blood on Joe's clothing.
895
01:24:31,604 --> 01:24:34,435
It matched up with our
lab files, yours didn't.
896
01:24:34,740 --> 01:24:37,351
And, Hazel told us the truth about Coke.
897
01:24:37,747 --> 01:24:41,254
Now, just get well. We'll finish
our business later.
898
01:24:42,217 --> 01:24:43,391
Nina...
899
01:24:43,451 --> 01:24:45,782
She's fine...in the waiting room.
900
01:25:05,063 --> 01:25:08,173
You shouldn't kiss a guy like
that when he's sick in bed.
901
01:25:10,205 --> 01:25:14,254
Well, I've been waiting outside all the
time. They wouldn't tell me anything.
902
01:25:14,314 --> 01:25:15,970
I was afraid...
903
01:25:17,151 --> 01:25:18,647
It's all right.
904
01:25:19,674 --> 01:25:21,170
We'll go away.
905
01:25:21,230 --> 01:25:24,222
We'll find that...crazy world of yours.
906
01:25:25,698 --> 01:25:27,151
Sure.
907
01:25:30,408 --> 01:25:32,373
There's only one thing...
908
01:25:33,675 --> 01:25:35,494
You'll always be...
909
01:25:35,758 --> 01:25:37,298
Eddie Rice.
910
01:25:38,853 --> 01:25:40,540
For the rest of my life.
911
01:25:40,990 --> 01:25:43,059
I have the doc's word for him.
912
01:25:44,673 --> 01:25:46,110
Come here.

After sustaining a head wound in combat, decorated World War II veteran Eddie Rice (John Payne) is treated at a San Francisco military hospital for a permanent form of amnesia. This leaves him with no knowledge of his life, family and friends prior to his enlistment. Army intelligence is unable to fill this void, as all they know about his past is that he enlisted in Los Angeles. Doctors tell him that no medical cure exists for his condition, but suggest that returning to L.A. might allow him to run into people who know him and might help fill in the blanks.
Rice does so, and promptly runs into some folks who recognize him. However, they know him as Eddie Riccardi, a dangerous gangster gone missing, whose past record generates mistrust both among the police and all those who formerly knew him. A woman, Nina Martin, appears to help him, but instead turns him over to ruthless crime boss Vince Alexander (Sonny Tufts), who was betrayed by Eddie before leaving town, and is now out for revenge. Vince tries to frame Eddie for the murder of a policeman, but Nina, who reveals to Eddie that she used to be his wife in a stormy marriage, finds her bitterness towards him changing to tenderness, and decides to help him genuinely.
